[00:00] <Doinkle> double check bios config to ascertain raid is enabled.  looks like it isnt with what you posted. :/
[00:00] <trench> philip__: looks like you have not made any raid partions
[00:00] <Bilz> trying to use a bluetooth dongle in ubuntu. the bluetooth icon pops up, but the only 2 options i get when i left click on  is "turn off bluetooth" and "preferences", "turn on" is greyed out
[00:00] <philip__> Doinkle: I'm doing softwareRAID, not hardware RAID (BIOS)
[00:00] <Bilz> ubuntu 10.10
[00:01] <Bilz> how am i meant to do something with that!
[00:01] <trench> Bliz - is your bluetooth device supported?
[00:02] <Bilz> trench, ive no idea, its a pretty old bluetooth dongle.
[00:02] <philip__> trench: the installer says it made the MD array. I used it to make the array (alternate CD)
[00:02] <Bilz> trench, used to work on win xp back in the day
[00:03] <trench> Philip__ you saw it make the partiotions too?
[00:03] <hippytaff> ubuntu server or debian lenny server for a home file server?
[00:03] <trench> hippytaff: new users or advance user?
[00:03] <hippytaff> newish
[00:03] <trench> hippytaff: if new user then ubuntu
[00:03] <philip__> trench: yes. I did it with both the alternate CD's installer, and the desktop CD's Disk utility to make the RAID array. No cigar
[00:03] <osmosis> how do I view the changelog of a package before installing it?
[00:04] <nimrod10> !changelog
[00:04] <hippytaff> samba or nfs?
[00:04] <trench> hippytaff: unbuntu is a cleaned up version of sid
[00:04] <nimrod10> !changelog osmosis
[00:04] <trench> hippytaff: windows users?
[00:04] <hippytaff> trench: excellent...that makes sence
[00:04] <nimrod10> osmosis !changelog
[00:05] <hippytaff> trench: a pure linux user :-D
[00:05] <NixGeek> !changelog | osmosis
[00:05] <NixGeek> nimrod10: yoiu put the command first, then a | and then the nickname
[00:05] <trench> hippytaff: i would then play with nfs and play with samba too learn more
[00:05] <trench> hippytaff: but nfs is faster
[00:06] <nyl> can someone point me to a good x11 UI for ubuntu
[00:06] <nimrod10> NixGeek, thanks
[00:06] <trench> nyl: what kind of hw?
[00:06] <nyl> for a 4.1inch touchscreen
[00:06] <hippytaff> trench: the missus has xp and she needs to access the files...I've found a windows nfs client but maybe samba is easier? I have no experince with this
[00:07] <trench> hippytaff: install samba
[00:07] <Ubunter> trench!@
[00:07] <Ubunter> trench!
[00:07] <NixGeek> nimrod10: your welcome trench: could you try to put things on one line, instead of splitting it?  this is a rather large channel and things like that really help to keep it cleaner and more effecient
[00:07] <hippytaff> trech: cheers
[00:08] <philip__> oh man, I've just elevated tech support to level 2 (#ubuntu+1) I'm going to get banned for sure
[00:08] <nyl> the current ui doesn't look that good on this screen
[00:08] <nyl> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm05cNBJQ8w
[00:08] <trench> hippytaff: if you have any problems install swat and try making the samba.conf file
[00:08] <trench> but disable swat afterwords
[00:09] <trench> Ubunter: yes? :)
[00:09] <Ubunter> I NEED HELP PLEASE: Im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a CD 32bit and right when I hit the "Preparing to install" spot it just freezes and keeps loading.. but nothing happend
[00:09] <hippytaff> trench: thanks for the advice...never heard of swat...will look into it...thanks
[00:09] <NixGeek> trench: use a comma (,) instead of hitting enter before buts please.
[00:09] <trench> NixGeek: sorry sir
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Ubunter: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you burn the CD slowly? Did you test the CD for defects once booted to?
[00:10] <Ubunter> Actionparsnip: how do i do that?
[00:11] <hippytaff> ActionParsnip: what graphics card do you have?
[00:11] <trench> Ubunter: like i told you use the http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ tool and use a usbkey
[00:11] <Ubunter> trench ill try
[00:12] <Ubunter> brb
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | Ubunter
[00:12] <trench> ActionParsnip: easier for people to use the usb device
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> hippytaff: one has GeForce 6250 onboard, one has SiS some onboard thing, lappy has Intel 965GL or somesuch
[00:13] <philip__> I want to install maverick onto a RAID1 array. I followed the Software RAID guide, but after creating the array (alternate CD), the installer says there's no / partition to install to. Any ideas?
[00:13] <Haqqkcb> Hi
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> trench: people were using CDs to install way before USB, plus not ALL BIOSes can boot USB
[00:13] <Samizdata> Awwww, dang. SiS onb oard video rears it ugly head.
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> trench: its not any easier or harder to make a bootable CD than a bootable USB
[00:14] <Samizdata> on board, even.
[00:14] <Haqqkcb> I have question
[00:14] <Ubunter> trench: how do i run the file?????????\
[00:14] <trench> ActionParsnip: easier with unetbootin
[00:14] <Ubunter> trench: the one i just downloaded..
[00:14] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: !ask
[00:14] <Haqqkcb> I need, some quick help
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Samizdata: its a Pentium 200MMX based system, it has ISA slots too. It runs a server OS so X isn't running
[00:14] <NixGeek> !asl | Haqqkcb
[00:15] <trench> Ubunter: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/#install
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> trench: they are all easy, you just manipulate the ISO in a different application. How is unetbootin 'easier'?
[00:15] <philip__> ActionParsnip: ever tried making a bootable USB in windows? damn, it's more frustrating than the RAID1 I'm trying to do now
[00:15] <NixGeek> !ask | Haqqkcb
[00:15] <hippytaff> ActionParsnip: try unetbootin
[00:15] <NixGeek> sorry about that, man my typing was messed up for a second.....
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> philip__: 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux does it, even downloads and MD5 tests the ISO for you
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> hipitihop: i'm well aware of it
[00:15] <Haqqkcb> Nobody will see the question
[00:16] <Haqqkcb> Then I still spam
[00:16] <trench> ActionParsnip: all you need to format the usbdrive, plug it in, choose the usbdrive, find the distro you want, and push reboot and then you should be good to go
[00:16] <staplefood> wow so many people h ere
[00:17] <jasono> staplefood Always is, as of now 1412 total.
[00:17] <NixGeek> !ask | Haqqkcb ask the question, stop talking, or leave...
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> trench: to burn a CD you slam in a CD drive which is synonymous with plugging in the USB, then tell the burning app (like unetbootin) to put the image on the drive, you can then boot to it like a usb. Again, how is unetbootin easier?
[00:18] <trench> ActionParsnip: you have to find the cd too right? :)
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> trench: you have to find a usb stick
[00:18] <trench> and download it
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> trench: the download is part of both operations..
[00:18] <trench> well you have the image already added to unetbootin
[00:19] <Haqqkcb> Should I install on p3 45o with 512 l2 or 6oo 256 l2 the 450 had one extra ram slot
[00:19] <breadcrumb> w
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> trench: the difference is the USB will install FASTER but the CD install method will work on any system providing it has an optical drive as more systems can boot CD than can boot USB
[00:19] <trench> Haqqkcb: what are you gone use it for?
[00:19] <trench> ActionParsnip: usbdrives is the new floppy :)
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> trench: that is moot to the discussion
[00:20] <trench> ActionParsnip: and usbdrives are more enviromental friendly ;P
[00:20] <Haqqkcb> Just an extra pc playing music and converting wav to mp3
[00:20] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: I
[00:20] <trench> Haqqkcb: then i would take the one with the most ram
[00:21] <SQUEEEE> I'm having some trouble with my WLAN. My wireless card is a TP-LINK TL-WN951N with an Atheros AR5008 chipset. I can connect to my router, but I can't connect to any servers using my browser. When I first connect to the wireless network I can ping for example google.com just fine. But as soon as I try navigating to google.com using my browser, the pinging stops. Any ideas?
[00:21] <trench> Haqqkcb: but hw is not that expensive now days so i would give both of them to charity
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> trench: possibly, i've not looked into that. but as for easier, it's simply not true
[00:21] <Haqqkcb> Maybe some contact lists 20 k contacts
[00:21] <trench> hehe
[00:21] <martin_> hdparm -tT is non-destructive right?
[00:21] <Haqqkcb> What would the other be better for
[00:21] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: woops, sorry about that.  I'd say xubuntu or debian on the p3, ubuntu will run so slowly it won't be possible to use it.
[00:22] <Haqqkcb> X runs slow too
[00:22] <aeon-ltd> Haqqkcb: if you have time i'd say even start with debian server/minimal to get the most out of the hardware
[00:23] <Haqqkcb> Puppy is just to gay
[00:23] <Tacos> hello
[00:23] <aeon-ltd> Haqqkcb: also don't use big DEs
[00:23] <aeon-ltd> Haqqkcb: how about arch linux?

[00:23] <Haqqkcb> No it connection
[00:24] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: mabey a server?  you could store files on it for backup, or host your own website.  I'd setup ssh and ftp so you could run it headless

[00:24] <Haqqkcb> Static ip costs so much
[00:24] <aeon-ltd> message to everyone helping Haqqkcb - is it possible to do a server install from the livecd?
[00:24] <snake_> Does anyone have experience with ddclient on ubuntu 10.10.
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Haqqkcb: do you have an Ubuntu question?

[00:25] <trench> !details Haqqkcb
[00:25] <Haqqkcb> Thats all
[00:25] <Haqqkcb> Thanks
[00:26] <trench> Haqqkcb: you are welcome :)
[00:26] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: I personally get a free static ip with my internet.  you could you it on your local network only, or use a DNS service like this: http://www.dyndns.com/
[00:26]  * trench has had the same ip since 1994 :)
[00:27] <celthunder> NixGeek, who's your isp?
[00:27] <Taco_S> any idea's
[00:27] <snake_> NixGeek, yeah I'm using them. I downloaded a ddclient. and it doesn't work. (details in a second.)
[00:27] <NixGeek> celthunder: shawneelink
[00:27] <trench> snake_: internal ip?
[00:27] <l0rd_hex> is there a specific channel for network-manager issues?
[00:27] <quinnw> Hello
[00:27] <h4f> Hi people
[00:27] <snake_> trench, no, for my external.
[00:27] <trench> h4f - ask your question :P
[00:27] <h4f> does any one have an idea of how to update Android phone from linux?
[00:27] <Haqqkcb> With the shortage of ip you would think they would brand us all 2 one for phone website and home what a waste
[00:27] <celthunder> l0rd_hex, whats the issue
[00:28] <celthunder> h4f, yeah
[00:28] <l0rd_hex> h4f: the android sdk has lots of tools
[00:28] <h4f>  celthunder: i could not find any guide on google
[00:28] <quinnw> Is anyone here familliar with the "Abrowser" package in Ubuntu?
[00:28] <JohnThomson> Hi, anyone here wanting to help the Linux community in possibly a very major way, please contact me about volunteer work, data mining, in exchange for free website hosting and email hosting. Basically, we are trying to convert the UK Government and, ultimately, the uk population, to Ubuntu, or at least, Linux
[00:28] <l0rd_hex> but you should be familar with flash and recovery
[00:28] <iflema> snake_: if this is for a home router, some have a dyndns function built in....
[00:28] <Haqqkcb> U on droid
[00:28] <h4f> l0rd_hex:  and after the SDK what should I do ?
[00:28] <snake_> NixGeek, do you know how to make it start up on bootup? when I follow the readme, it says that the directory doesn't exist.
[00:28] <celthunder> h4f, put the updated rom on the sdcard boot to recovery flash it
[00:28] <Haqqkcb> I'm on droid
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> h4f: you can flash the firmware by copying the relevant files in the relevant order to the SD card and rebooting etc in the usual way
[00:28] <snake_> iflema, yes but my router randomly says "no host found"
[00:29] <Haqqkcb> Metro pcs lg optimus m
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> h4f: if your provider gives an update app, you will most likely need windows to use it
[00:29] <NixGeek> snake_: go to system> preferences> startup Applications and add it to the list
[00:29] <quinnw> More specificly, does anyone know where I can download the unbranded source code used for Abrowser?
[00:29] <h4f> ActionParsnip:  thats the problem I don't have windows
[00:29] <trench> h4f - or you could try it with wine
[00:29] <NixGeek> h4f: wine mabey?
[00:29] <Taco_S> Ok when I attempt to boot into ubuntu it first loads in a normal resolution then when I enter my passkey it kills the video and locks up. When i reboot it's in a lower resolution but logs right in.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> h4f: then you may be able to do it via a VM but you may have to dual boot (or use a different system) to get updated
[00:29] <snake_> NixGeek, will that make it a service as well. (like for apache2 i just type: service apache2 status)
[00:29] <trench> H4f - or try vmware player
[00:29] <Ubunter> trench
[00:30] <Haqqkcb> Any way to install ubunti on android
[00:30] <Ubunter> trench: it didnt work
[00:30] <JohnThomson> Hi, anyone here wanting to help the Linux community in possibly a very major way, please contact me about volunteer work, data mining, in exchange for free website hosting and email hosting. Basically, we are trying to convert the UK Government and, ultimately, the uk population, to Ubuntu, or at least, Linux
[00:30] <JohnThomson> (sorry about spamming)
[00:30] <NixGeek> snake_: no, it won't make it a service, but it will run when you log in
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Haqqkcb: http://theandroidsite.com/2009/05/07/install-ubuntu-with-full-desktop-environment-on-your-g1/
[00:30] <h4f> do you guys think wine or wmvare will work properly with USB ?
[00:30] <trench> JohnThomson: this is a support channel :)
[00:30] <celthunder> h4f, you don't need windows to update..only the ruu uses windows anyway...just flash the updated rom off the sdcard
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> h4f: vmware may, i'd ask in #vmware
[00:30] <trench> h4f - vmware works yes
[00:30] <h4f> Thanks I will look into installing SDK
[00:30] <l0rd_hex> celthunder: for some reason I can't put my wlan card (Intel 4965AGN) into ad-hoc or managed mode but network manager seems to do it just fine.. I've stopped the service to make sure it's not interfering with my manual efforts but it's just strange
[00:31] <h4f> thank you all
[00:31] <trench> yw
[00:31] <JohnThomson> Trench: I am asking for support, just not that exact type :P
[00:31] <l0rd_hex> celthunder: Ubunti 10.04 on amd64
[00:31] <trench> JohnThomson: to far for me :)
[00:31] <quinnw> Would it be spamming if I ask my question again? I know there was a conversation of sorts going on.
[00:31] <snake_> quinnw, go ahead, I'm curious
[00:31] <celthunder> l0rd_hex, did you shutdown the interface before doing iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
[00:31] <Haqqkcb> Won't happen linux is not safe. At least windows gives u clues your hacked linux dont
[00:31] <JohnThomson> Trench: OK, any idea where to go?
[00:31] <celthunder> (ifconfig wlan0 down)
[00:31] <quinnw> Is anyone here familliar with the "Abrowser" package in Ubuntu?
[00:31] <Taco_S> spamming maybe but that depends
[00:31] <quinnw> More specificly, does anyone know where I can download the unbranded source code used for Abrowser?
[00:31] <Ubunter> SOMEONE PELASE HELP ME!
[00:32] <guampa> JohnThomson: #ubuntu-offtopic might a better chan for that
[00:32] <trench> JohnThomson: the lugs in your country
[00:32] <Ubunter> TRENCH: IT DIDNT WORK...
[00:32] <Taco_S> if you post it 15 times it's annoying twice is about average
[00:32] <quinnw> Ah ok.
[00:32] <quinnw> Hehe
[00:32] <guampa> s/might/might be/
[00:32] <JohnThomson> Thanx trench :)
[00:32] <Haqqkcb> I want ubunti on my droid

[00:33] <trench> Ubunter: what did not work?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Haqqkcb: its ubuntu (pronounced OO-BOON-TOO), not ubunti
[00:33] <NixGeek> !caps | Ubunter
[00:33] <celthunder> l0rd_hex, ?
[00:33] <Ubunter> TRENCH: THE PROGRAM YOU GAVE ME
[00:33] <Ubunter> OH
[00:33] <quinnw> ubottu: I can't read lowercase :) Jk
[00:33] <Ubunter> sorry
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Ubunter: kill the caps
[00:33] <l0rd_hex> celthunder: no, I'll try that
[00:33] <trench> Ubunter: it works fine here
[00:34] <Ubunter> omg...
[00:34] <Ubunter> send me link again
[00:34] <Ubunter> im back on desktop
[00:34] <milamber> quinnw: http://packages.ubuntu.com/    click on your version, then on the right side the source will be available
[00:34] <Haqqkcb> I am just a bot
[00:34] <quinnw> Well, yes.
[00:34] <trench> Ubunter: unetbootin.sf.net
[00:35] <quinnw> But that offers the Firefox (branded) source doesn't it?
[00:35] <quinnw> If not then great! But I thought that was the branded stuff.
[00:35]  * Taco_S slams head into desk
[00:35] <trench> Taco_S: did it help?
[00:35] <Haqqkcb> Did they upgrade the nvidia so vanta can run compiz
[00:35]  * quinnw actually laughs out loud at that
[00:36]  * Samizdata misses Compiz on the netbook edition.
[00:36] <phrozeidon> moin
[00:36] <Taco_S> well no but at least i know that it will produce result every time i try it.
[00:36] <GeekSquid> quinnw: abrowser is the unbranded firefox, the source should be unbranded, as in Abrowser brand, not Mozilla brand ... I think I said that right
[00:37] <phrozeidon> and bye
[00:37] <quinnw> Ah ok.
[00:37] <Sonja> is there an easy way to cut and edit .avi in Ubuntu?
[00:37] <trench> if you are l33t you use ratpoison as a window manager
[00:37] <quinnw> I'll check it out.
[00:37] <quinnw> trench: I use twm :D
[00:37] <celthunder> Sonja, piviti or cinnerela
[00:37] <Sonja> thanks
[00:37] <oneliner> Sonja: try piviti
[00:38] <trojan_spike> Sonja, openshot is a pretty good editor
[00:38] <Haqqkcb> How can I rip dvd in ubuntu
[00:38]  * Taco_S gets ready to dump and re-install the os
[00:38] <Fraser> are there any viruses affecting ubuntu  os ?
[00:38] <GeekSquid> Haqqkcb: handbrake (which isn't available in repositories) ... or dvd:rip which is
[00:38] <Jordan_U> Fraser: No.
[00:38] <Haqqkcb> Is it true ubuntu will kill your mac hd
[00:39] <System_Default_0> I need to hack an ISO, is there some kind of editor for ISO images?
[00:39] <System_Default_0> I mean a visual editor.
[00:39] <Jordan_U> quinnw: The "firefox" source package does not contain branding. The "firefox" binary package depends either on firefox-branding or abrowser-branding.
[00:39]  * NixGeek cheers for Taco_S and hopes it works
[00:39] <oneliner> Haqqkcb: acidrip works so so
[00:39] <quinnw> Ok
[00:39] <l0rd_hex> celthunder: I'll keep checking
[00:39] <Taco_S> windows 7 is a nasty virus that destroyes many linux users
[00:39] <quinnw> Well I should mention that I'm not using Ubuntu
[00:39] <Fraser> thank you jordan_u
[00:39] <osmosis> how do I view the changelog of a package before installing it? ...from the CLI, not the browser.
[00:39] <Jordan_U> Fraser: You're welcome.
[00:39] <trench> Jordan_U: you had Staog back in 1996 :)
[00:39] <quinnw> I'm just looking for the source that I thought should be in a Mozilla FTP somewhere.
[00:39] <oneliner> System_Default_0: try opening the iso with a compressor like file-roller (wild guess)
[00:39] <Taco_S> well guess i'm going to re-install
[00:40] <quinnw> System_Default_0: Try out Gnome-iso
[00:40] <quinnw> I have to go pick up my little bro.
[00:40] <Jordan_U> quinnw: Actually, I guess the firefox source package creates both abrowser-branding and firefox-branding binary pacakges.
[00:40] <trench> Jordan_U: and Bliss
[00:40] <quinnw> So thanks in advance if anyone gives me additional info while I'm AFK.
[00:41] <Jordan_U> trench: But you didn't have Ubuntu in 1996 :)
[00:41] <Haqqkcb> Wine had not had any major improvements
[00:41] <System_Default_0> OK, thanks.
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> System_Default_0: you can mount ISOs already. If you want to remaster an Ubuntu CD you can use remastersys, is this what you are wanting?
[00:41] <milamber> osmosis: aptitude changelog <packagename>
[00:41] <Samizdata> Okay, well, I am sufficiently unelite as far as using ratpoison.
[00:41] <trench> System_Default_0: just mount it and edit it?
[00:42] <elricsfate> pam related question. tking            hard    memlock         102400 would only allow that user to use that set amount of RAM correct?
[00:42] <Phong_> sup
[00:43] <New2ubuntu> how do you uninstall grub?
[00:43] <System_Default_0> OK. I'm trying to modify a PSP game an ISO right, so I'm asking for an application, that can edit it.
[00:43] <kcorcoran_> a few years ago a friend had told me about mythtv.  i have recently begam migrating away from windows; is mythtv still a good application to build my media center?  i am running ubuntu 10.10 (64bit)  any insight appreciated.
[00:43] <trench> System_Default_0: you are in the wrong channel for your question
[00:43] <red2kic> kcorcoran_: I like XBMC.
[00:43] <Jordan_U> New2ubuntu: You don't generally "remove" bootloaders, you replace them with another bootloader. What is your end goal?
[00:43] <milamber> !mythbuntu | kcorcoran_
[00:44] <trench> kcorcoran_: i would rather use xbmc
[00:44] <kcorcoran_> trench:  can you elaborate why?
[00:44] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, I use XBMC too...but myth is great if you plan on watching or recording live TV
[00:44] <GeekSquid> Would one of our kind ops please msg me, I have an issue regarding someone here that needs to be discussed in private
[00:45] <kcorcoran_> correct me if i am wrong, but it sounds like mythubuntu is a stripped version of ubuntu strictly for media purposes?  that correct?
[00:45] <trench> kcorcoran_: it all depends on your needs and what you want to do
[00:45] <bastidrazor> GeekSquid: #ubuntu-ops
[00:45] <System_Default_0> So, please make an ubottu command.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> kcorcoran_: sure, media centres work well with xbmc too ;)
[00:45] <istvan> hey, i have an Abit IP35Pro with the ICH9R raid chipset. I have two drives in raid 0, but ubuntu still sees them separately. what steps do I take to fix this, such that windows will still be compatible with using these drives in a raid?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> !raid | istvan
[00:45] <Ubunter> TRENCH: I booted from the usb and i tried it again but still stops at the "preparing to install" console screen =/
[00:45] <kcorcoran_> i will basically be using it to watch and record tv shows...and play various ISO's - perhaps streaming in the future.
[00:45] <Ubunter> Starting to get mad
[00:45] <New2ubuntu> Can you see this?
[00:45] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, mythbuntu is just a package in ubuntu...it helps configure all the components surrounding mythtv
[00:46] <v0lksman> yes
[00:46] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, if you plan to record mythtv-backend is the way to go
[00:46] <NixGeek> ActionParsnip: I think he knows what raid is, he needs help with it, not links to it
[00:46] <trench> Ubunter: tried expert mode?
[00:47] <Ubunter> trench: how do iget there?
[00:47] <istvan> ActionParsnip: is the ICH9R software? I see it as two drives in ubuntu, but spinrite and other disk live CDs see it as one disk
[00:47] <kcorcoran_> V0lksman:  currently i have a fully installed version of desktop ubuntu v10.10 (64) - do i need to uninstall or is this a package i load on top of ubuntu?
[00:47] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, I have a machine running mythtv-backend that records but all the rest of the media centers in my house use XBMC as the frontend
[00:47] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, yeah you should be able to find mythbuntu in synaptic...I forget the actual package name right now
[00:48] <kcorcoran_> volksman:  why not run all media stations with myth?
[00:48] <Jordan_U> istvan: It is FakeRAID, spinwrite sees it as a single disk because spinwrite is DOS based and thus can be tricked by the BIOS presenting the array as a single disk (this is not true of real operating systems that access hardware directly).
[00:48] <Ubunter> trench: how do i get to expert mode?
[00:48] <chaospsychex> what's the EASIEST way to set up a ftp server in ubuntu without having to edit txt config files to set it up?
[00:48] <BedMan> v0lksman: how many shows can it record at once?
[00:48] <trench> ActionParsnip: you have a link to the screenshots of the install?
[00:48] <trench> or anyone else
[00:49] <istvan> Jordan_U: ah, thank you!
[00:49] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: proftpd with gadmin proftpd
[00:49] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  so if i understand correctly, youre using myth to perfom all your recording - but on the other workstations you use xbmc as a front end to access the media from myth?
[00:49] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, myth has it's quirks and is a bit of a maintenance nightmare...also somewhat sluggish compared to XBMC...
[00:49] <draven_sol> how do i determine the physical connection for a /dev/sdX device?
[00:49] <Jordan_U> istvan: You're welcome.
[00:49] <Jordan_U> draven_sol: ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/
[00:49] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, yep...!
[00:49] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: install using "sudo apt-get install proftpd-basic gadmin-proftpd"
[00:49] <istvan> Jordan_U: is there still a significant speed advantage for writing many files all over 200 MB or larger with fakeRAID?
[00:50] <Ubunter> TRENCH: HOPW DO I GET TO EXPERT MODE?
[00:50] <v0lksman> BedMan, depends on your setup.  at one point I had 2 cards and 2 sat receivers...so 2 shows at once... :)
[00:50] <trench> Ubunter: it's a LONG time since i have installed ubunutu myself
[00:50] <NixGeek> !caps | Ubunter
[00:50] <linux> where am i?
[00:51] <dr4c4n> Ubunter: patience is a virtue
[00:51] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  so a few years ago the package was myth tv - has mythbuntu replaced myth tv?
[00:51] <rww> linux: The IRC channel for technical support with Ubuntu Linux.
[00:51] <Samizdata> The Ubuntu IRC support channel.
[00:51] <Jordan_U> istvan: There is no speed advantage to FakeRAID over linux software RAID as both use the CPU. There is a performance advantage to any RAID0 over non-raid, but I wouldn't trust any important data to RAID0 (especially FakeRAID).
[00:51] <NixGeek> kcorcoran_: go to the software center and search mythtv, it has the frontend, backend, and other things
[00:51] <draven_sol> Jordan_U, thanks
[00:52] <cheater99> hi guys!!
[00:52] <Jordan_U> draven_sol: You're welcome.
[00:52] <cheater99> i have a big big problem
[00:52] <kcorcoran_> NixGeek: that's what i am seeing, i am trying to understand which i should install.
[00:52] <cheater99> my user interface is freezing up right now
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> cheater99: is your RAM healthy?
[00:52] <GeekSquid> !details | cheater99
[00:52] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, no...mythbuntu started as a seperate project based on ubuntu...eventually Ubuntu adopted the project in as a package that can just be installed (rather than a standalone OS)...mythtv is a completely separate project...mythbuntu just makes it a little easier to manage
[00:52] <cheater99> yes
[00:53] <kcorcoran_> thank you.
[00:53] <istvan> Jordan_U: thanks again ;) its backed up hourly, but as a VFX artist and enjoy it as a hoby too, i deal with big files and yeah, got sick of it :p
[00:53] <cheater99> i'm using metacity... i entered the top menu (applications), and sometimes you can move the cursor away quickly enough that the bar hides but the menu is there..
[00:53] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, sry...mythbuntu makes it easier to manage and install myth tv in ubuntu... :)
[00:53] <cheater99> i also switched context to another app by mistake
[00:53] <chaospsychex> NixGeek: can you help me with these program a little
[00:53] <NixGeek> kcorcoran_: i'd say the frontend and backend, and control center, but i've never really messed with it, so someone else might have a better suggestion
[00:53] <cheater99> well now that menu is hanging. i cannot access the top bar and the bottom bar (app switcher)
[00:53] <Ubunter> CANT SOMEONE JUST ASWERE THIS QUETION!? HOW DO I GET PASSED THE "PREPARING TO INSTALL" WINDOW!?!?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> istvan: You're welcome.
[00:54] <cheater99> i have pressed alt-f2 to see if the UI still responds, and the "run" window popped up, but pressing cancel does nothing, the window is still there
[00:54] <cheater99> does anyone have any ideas please?
[00:54] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: You have been asked many times to stop using caps lock. This is your last warning.
[00:54] <rww> Ubunter: Please stop using all-caps. It's disruptive and not helping you.
[00:54] <osmosis> milamber, thx
[00:54] <chaospsychex> whats the easiest way to setup a ftp server
[00:54] <cheater99> i'm using ubuntu 10.04 with everything updated
[00:54] <GeekSquid> !ftp | chaospsychex
[00:54] <Ubunter> well when i talk like this no one can see what im saying!
[00:54] <WeThePeople> looking for a program that can read a sktpe user name and connect with that person through skype network...skype is not working
[00:54] <trench> chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install vsftpd
[00:54] <rww> Ubunter: We can see what you're saying just fine. Be patient.
[00:54] <itaylor57> KM0201: i had to leave earlier to eat and check the tire pressure on my Spyder trike
[00:55] <Ubunter> ive been at this for like 3 hours now!
[00:55] <KM0201> itaylor57: lol
[00:55] <chaospsychex> can someone give me a link to documentation on how to setup a ftp server step by step
[00:55] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: like I said, install proftpd and it's graphical control center using "sudo apt-get install proftpd-basic gadmin-proftpd"  and then go to Applications> system tools> GADMIN-PROFTPD
[00:55] <Fraser> ubunter there is no feed back from the install prog but check your disk dribe light and see if it is being used if so just hang pretty until it has completed
[00:55] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, I think you just need to install mythbuntu-control-centre...it will pull the rest with dependencies...
[00:55] <chaospsychex> NixGeek i did that but this program is overwhelming
[00:55] <Ubunter> Its very ennoying that i cant get passed  1 stupid screen! and not just for the Ubuntu install but for linux mint also!
[00:56] <cheater99> come on guys.. i'm sure someone has at least some idea what i could do...
[00:56] <chaospsychex> is there even an option to set what directory they can ftp into ?
[00:56] <NixGeek> ah, first things first, go to the bottom of the lower part of the first page, type in a password and hit apply
[00:56] <pepperjack> Ubunter: you might consider the alternate install cd if youre having trouble with the livecd install
[00:56] <tomd> hello, im trying to get two applications (kopete & mjpg-streamer) to listen to the same video device (a webcam) simultaneouslly. What excatly keeps this from happening? Does the kernal lock the video device for the initial application?
[00:56] <aeon-ltd> cheater99: mouse isn't detected?
[00:56] <GeekSquid> !patience | everybody
[00:56] <Ubunter> pepperjack: how do i do it?
[00:57] <cheater99> aeon-ltd: the mouse is detected, the gui was responding fine until this second
[00:57] <red2kic> !alt | Ubunter
[00:57] <v0lksman> cheater, you could try 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' ?
[00:57] <pepperjack> Ubunter: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download  are you comfortable with a less friendly install?
[00:57] <chaospsychex> gadmin sux!
[00:58] <Ubunter> Pepperjack: yes, ive installed arch before and that was hard
[00:58] <cheater99> v0lksman: will this close applications that are currently open?
[00:58] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  by dl'ing control center, will is pull the backend as well...i have search all mythbuntu and do not see the backend, nor front end
[00:58] <v0lksman> cheater99, yes.  it will restart X
[00:59] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: go to users, click on new user, type in a username and password, choose the directories their allowed to access at the bottom, and then click apply
[00:59] <cheater99> v0lksman: i wouldn't want to do that, i think only some part of gnome is broken
[00:59] <cheater99> after all i'm in xchat right now and can use alt-tab
[00:59] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, the control center is just a piece of software to manage myth and it's environment (by adding and removing packages, AND settings etc)...so with the CC you can tell it to install just a backend for example
[00:59] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: then click activate and you have a running ftp server
[01:00] <v0lksman> cheater99, gdm: gnome display manager
[01:00] <sunjie> from shandong
[01:00] <v0lksman> cheater99, ah...well then you will need to figure out exactly what crashed and restart it
[01:00] <v0lksman> like gnome-panel or something
[01:00] <cheater99> v0lksman: yes
[01:00] <sunjie> xixi
[01:01] <GeekSquid> kcorcoran_ the correct spelling is mythbuntu-control-centre
[01:02] <chaospsychex> it wont start
[01:02] <cheater99> v0lksman: ok great, killing gnome-panel got rid of the hanging menu. now i can access the bottom bar. what about the top bar? i thought that was gnome-panel too
[01:02] <kcorcoran_> hmm, installed...not seeing anything in the applications.
[01:03] <Ubunter> can someone give me the chat to linux mint?
[01:03] <chaospsychex> - mod_dso/0.4: module 'mod_ctrls_admin.c' already loaded
[01:03] <chaospsychex>  - Fatal: LoadModule: error loading module 'mod_ctrls_admin.c': Operation not permitted on line 7 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
[01:03] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, check System
[01:03] <cheater99> oh, there was another thing i had to kill
[01:03] <GeekSquid> !mint
[01:03] <cheater99> works now!
[01:03] <cheater99> thanks for the tip!!
[01:03] <v0lksman> hahaha
[01:03] <v0lksman> wow
[01:03] <cheater99>  /usr/lib/gnome-panel/wnck-applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Wncklet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=20         <<< had to kill this too
[01:03] <v0lksman> np!  :)
[01:03] <cheater99> :))
[01:04] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  thank you
[01:04] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Can you post a screenshot of where the install is hanging?
[01:04] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, np!
[01:04] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | Ubunter
[01:04] <chaospsychex> im uninstalling this crapass ftp server
[01:04] <GeekSquid> !language | chaospsychex
[01:05] <Daevol> Hey
[01:05] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, vsftp used to be the best...no clue anymore since I stopped using FTP servers...what are you planning to do with yours?
[01:05] <Daevol> I'm having volume control issues
[01:05] <loculinux> hi
[01:05] <Daevol> whenever I use the volume keys on my keyboard, or use the volume applet to change the volume, the PCM jumps to 100
[01:06] <chaospsychex> i just want to access some files that are on this machine from another machine on my home network
[01:06] <reya276> How can I fix my update manager so that it stops telling me that my repositories are out of sync?
[01:06] <Daevol> which distorts things and makes it too loud (it cuts off above a comfortable volume)
[01:06] <Lxndr> I have Firefox installed on multiple computers. On each computer I have the exact same Greasemonkey scripts installed. On one computer (Windows), they all work. On this computer (Ubuntu), only half of them work. What can I do to make them all work?
[01:06] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: id second vsftpd though you might consider just using ssh or samba
[01:06] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, SFTP works without any additional software...just use your user login and it will work
[01:06] <chaospsychex> sftp?
[01:06] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, just a setting in most FTP clients
[01:06] <chaospsychex> the other machine is a windows machine
[01:07] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, FileZilla will connect via SFTP without issue
[01:07] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  so, is this a correct assumption - i will build a mythbuntu box...and, if i throw xbmc on my laptop can i stream data from my mythbuntu box to my laptop?
[01:07] <Ubunter> Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:07] <chaospsychex> dude i got to setup the ftp server first
[01:07] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install openssh-server  then run winscp or something to connect
[01:08] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, yep...the only thing you can't see in XBMC is the live recordings...so if you want to watch live TV or a show that is being recorded you will need a myth frontend
[01:08] <itaylor57> sometimes we can't see the trees for the mitochondria
[01:08] <snake_> When I try port forwarding on my router (HTTP, Port 80) it says that there is a port conflict with another service. Can anyone clarify what a service in this sense might be referring to?
[01:08] <chaospsychex> pepperjack docs on configuring openssh?
[01:08] <Daevol> ...anybody good with pulseaudio/alsa stuff?
[01:08] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, right...forgot not everyone installs ssh...hahaha...but just install the package and presto
[01:08] <Ubunter> Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:09] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: should just work with the default config file.  any sftp client for windows then will work
[01:09] <Daevol> snake_: at a guess, I'd say your router is already forward 80 for some reason
[01:09] <chaospsychex> dude have you ever even setup a file server?
[01:10] <chaospsychex> i have a specific folder i want to allow access to
[01:10] <chaospsychex> not my whole filesystem
[01:10] <Ubunter> Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:10] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, well you didn't say that...
[01:10] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: if you want a dedicated file server then id go with samba or ftp.  vsftpd is my choice normally
[01:10] <Guest43568>  hey all ive got weired  letters down the bottom of my screen how to i get rid of em
[01:10] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, but you can still do that with ssh
[01:10] <itaylor57> my name is dude and yes I have
[01:10] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:10] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, oh and yeah...I have too...many many many...too many...that's why I quit... ;)
[01:11] <Guest43568> ?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Guest43568: run: killall gnome-panel    the panel will automagically reload and may help
[01:11] <Daevol> So, uh, nobody here knows how to fix PCM volume resets? neat
[01:11] <chaospsychex> sudo alsa-mixer
[01:11] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: proftpd, for example, has defaultroot in config (/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf) - that is what you need, I think
[01:11] <Guest43568> where do i find kill all
[01:11] <chaospsychex> proftpd wont even start
[01:12] <chaospsychex> i get some error about a module failing to load
[01:12] <Daevol> chaospsychex: yeah, that lets me change it, but as soon as I change the volume with any other method (keyboard, applet) it jumps right back to 100
[01:12] <v0lksman> proftpd will want config
[01:12] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: okay, so what about ssh?
[01:12] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, so why not go samba?  offsite access?
[01:12] <snake_> Daevol, maybe another device (such as my modem) is forwarding that port..
[01:12] <chaospsychex> i know nothing about samba or ssh
[01:12] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> Daevol: check my comment on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/352732?comments=all
[01:13] <snake_> Daevol, lemme check ;)
[01:13] <chaospsychex> im familiar with ftp,just not setting it up on ubuntu
[01:13] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, hahaha...seems you know little about FTP too.. :)
[01:13] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: I saw it the first (and second) time.
[01:13] <Ubunter> lol
[01:13] <Ubunter> k
[01:13] <Ubunter> wel...
[01:13] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  clarification, i can stream any data, just not live data?  so a show previously recorded would play fine on xbmc laptop?
[01:13] <chaospsychex> well i usually run the ftp server from windows,but windows 7 is gay
[01:13] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: How much RAM do you have?
[01:13] <chaospsychex> wont even let the ftp server write the config file
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: how can an OS have sex?
[01:13] <Ubunter> 2gb
[01:13] <quinnw> Oh
[01:14] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, yep... :)
[01:14] <quinnw> Wow I feel so stupid
[01:14] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install openssh-server - this will install openssh on your host and run the daemon. next oyu need winscp or scp to login to your host with you system password and get files
[01:14] <Rogueboy> Hi, I'm looking to install Ubuntu on my desktop whose hard drive I had reformated can someone help me? preferably through PM
[01:14] <con-man> hey where can I edit my file associations?
[01:14] <chaospsychex> how does one configure ssh
[01:14] <itaylor57> pianolender1: thanks
[01:15] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: I have 2GB of Ram
[01:15] <con-man> chaospsychex, open terminal, type ssh followed by ip address
[01:15] <Daevol> ActionParsnip: but, I'm not having issues with anything being muted or zeroed. It's the opposite; pulseaudio keeps setting the PCM to 100 every time I change the master volume
[01:15] <chaospsychex> omg
[01:15] <pepperjack> con-man: nautilus normally handles that.  you can right-click on the file and 'open with other app'
[01:15] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: what king of configurind do you want? it just starts
[01:15] <chaospsychex> i understand that, and thats the problem
[01:15] <con-man> pepperjack, 10.10 seems to do it for that individual file instead of all files with that extension
[01:15] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny  steps 2 and 3 will get you a lock down via SFTP
[01:15] <crooks3o6> chaospsychex: config files are in /etc/ssh/
[01:16] <chaospsychex> what directories is it allowing access to
[01:16] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, you did say you were on 10.10 right?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: Are you having a particular problem?
[01:16] <snake_> Daevol, thanks for speculating with me. It was my modem. :)
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Daevol: i see, if you run the alsa-info.sh from the sound troubleshooting page, do you have 1.0.23?
[01:16] <kcorcoran_> thanks for the help for now...i'll have more questions.  i have to go now before my fiance tears me from the console! :)
[01:16] <pepperjack> con-man: there should be a 'remember choice' checkbox sorry I'm not in gnome atm to check
[01:16] <ohzie> Hey guys. What if i just want to list the "upgradeable" packages in the command line using aptitude?
[01:16] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, tell her it's worth it...my wife loves the setup now... :)
[01:16] <quinnw> use apt-get
[01:16] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: First time I'm installing an OS that's not Windows, and not on a brand new Comp
[01:16] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: so, if you want to deny some hosts from loggint to your host, you can use /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/hosts.deny, iptables or so
[01:17] <chaospsychex> just forget it
[01:17] <pepperjack> con-man: ah 10.10.  i havent tested since 9.04
[01:17] <con-man> pepperjack, yeah it doesn't have a remember choice. worked fine on 10.04
[01:17] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: I have 2GB of Ram
[01:17] <snake_> chaospsychex, wut?
[01:17] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: so basically I tried interrupting the set up and booting from the Ubuntu CD
[01:17] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Keep getting the BootMGR not found
[01:17] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Again, I saw the first time.
[01:17] <chaospsychex> there has to be a simpler way to do what i want to do
[01:18] <TehCodr> oh hell no
[01:18] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: why dont you answer back...
[01:18] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: You get this error when you try to boot from the Ubuntu CD?
[01:18] <Hilikus> ubuntu recognizes my both monitors but its putting all bars and panels in the secondary one, how do i switch it?
[01:18] <TehCodr> if that david is the david in pittsnurgh I'm gonna scream...
[01:18] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, what I sent will lock the user into their home directory...you can then put whatever you want in that directory for them
[01:18] <ohzie> chaospsychex: What are you trying to do?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Because I don't know why it's hanging there.
[01:18] <con-man> does anyone know how to associate a file type in 10.10? it seems to have changed
[01:18] <bastidrazor> Hilikus: you should be able to drag and drop the panels and it will be remembered
[01:19] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Yeah, but there is the off chance I did select the wrong CD Drive, I'll try it through USB this way I know I can't select the wrong one
[01:19] <Rogueboy> BRB
[01:19] <v0lksman> con-man: right click?
[01:19] <root_> ehi
[01:19] <Daevol> ActionParsnip: hold on
[01:19] <aeon-ltd> con-man: uhh right click open with? if your still using nautilus i don't think it has changed
[01:19] <Hilikus> bastidrazor: ??? dragging the panels? they don;t seem to move at all
[01:19] <chaospsychex> yeah and it will take half the night to set it up too
[01:20] <ohzie> chaospsychex: What are you trying to do
[01:20] <TehCodr> Guys, any advice on partitioning a disk with the command line?
[01:20] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: That is a Windows error, so your BIOS is definitely not booting from and Ubuntu disk.
[01:20] <chaospsychex> i just want to allow network access to one folder on this pc
[01:20] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, if you type those 4 lines REALLY slowly, yeah it might...
[01:20] <con-man> aeon-ltd, it has changed. that's the problem?
[01:20] <Daevol> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0c0df385f547ad6f8b6da0414e5092605b2ca6cd
[01:20] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Yeah once I read your reaction was a definite fail stamp on my attempt
[01:20] <GeekSquid> root_: Danger Danger Will Robinson!!! You are running your IRC client as ROOT, this is a MAJOR Security Vulnerability, It would be wise not to do this in the future
[01:20] <ohzie> chaospsychex: Then use samba or vsftpd to simplify permissions.
[01:20] <Daevol> ActionParsnip: yep. 1.0.23
[01:20] <root_> ei
[01:21] <root_> some body tell me how can i upgrade my kde
[01:21] <root_> i use apt-get install kde
[01:21] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: YOU ASKED ME HOW MUCH RAM I HAD I THought?
[01:21] <chaospsychex> i dont know what samba is
[01:21] <user__> halo
[01:21] <ohzie> chaospsychex: vsftpd you use the chroot jail options and make the home directory for some user(the one they'll log in with) the folder that you want to share.
[01:21] <GeekSquid> root_: not until you learn about sudo...
[01:21] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Is there a problem with your caps lock key?
[01:21] <ohzie> chaospsychex: smb4
[01:21] <GeekSquid> !sudo | root_
[01:21] <con-man> v0lksman, aeon-ltd, pepperjack - it appears you have to choose open with, as opposed to going to the file properties.  it seems to have changed in 10.10
[01:21] <Hilikus> bastidrazor: ok, got it, i had to press alt. thanks a lot
[01:22] <ohzie> chaospsychex: I do recommend you use ssh though, it is much cleaner than what I am suggesting. Alternatively, proftpd is also probably a better, in the long run, option than vsftpd.
[01:22] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: Keep on pressing my accident =/
[01:22] <bastidrazor> Hilikus: right, was just going to say.
[01:22] <TehCodr> !partition
[01:22] <bastidrazor> that
[01:22] <Daevol> ActionParsnip: never mind, this might work: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats#Volume%20range%20anomalies
[01:22] <bastidrazor> Hilikus: i have dual monitors also with nvidia and this method worked
[01:22] <chaospsychex> i cant get proftpd to start
[01:22] <krabador> someone browsed SMB shares on android?
[01:23] <chaospsychex> im gonna try apache ftp server
[01:23] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: for a quick access via samba you should also just be able to right-click on a given folder and select sharing options then enable guest access.. and from windows \\hostname\folder
[01:23] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: You might want to disable the caps lock key completely. At the very least please look at your responses before hitting enter so that you can catch that you had caps lock on and fix it.
[01:23] <Ubunter> kk
[01:23] <ohzie> chaospsychex: Pardon the PM, but what i sent you is a quick way to set up a chroot for an ssh server.
[01:23] <chaospsychex> is samba already installed?
[01:23] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: can you keep helping me?
[01:24] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: I don't have any ideas currently.
[01:24] <Daevol> SUCCESS!!
[01:24] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: yeah
[01:24] <draven_sol> how do i properly format a drive for raid?
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: no, its optional
[01:24] <Cypher78> is ther some one here that helps newbs
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> !raid | draven_sol
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> Cypher78: all will
[01:25] <Cypher78> then this is the room i need
[01:25] <Ubunter> screw it im installing fadora
[01:25] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Like others have suggested, the alternate install CD will probably work for you.
[01:25] <ohzie> Ubunter: If you're having problems with ubuntu you're going to have more problems with fedora
[01:25] <v0lksman> hahahah
[01:25] <ohzie> Ubunter: but good luck. o7
[01:25] <danub> hey all, how can i install splash screens that i downloaded from gnome website?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> danub: splash screens for what?
[01:26] <draven_sol> ActionParsnip, my raid had a drive fail, i pulled the bad drive, put in the new, and need to know how to set the partition, ie primary vs extended, and type
[01:26] <danub> login screens i believe
[01:26] <krabador> i must restart samba, what i must type on terminal , on ubuntu 10.10?
[01:26] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: when i use the other CD, does it come with all the stuff?
[01:26] <bastidrazor> krabador: sudo service samba restart   or sudo service smb restart
[01:26] <ohzie> draven_sol: Do you have an mdadm raid?
[01:27] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: that it would come with with the normal CD?
[01:27] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Yes. The resulting install is identical.
[01:27] <draven_sol> ohzie, yes
[01:27] <Ubunter> okay thats all i needed to know
[01:27] <Ubunter> thanks
[01:27] <toal193> no updates for maverick since 30/12, is that right?
[01:27] <krabador> bastidrazor, for both i've "unrecongnize service"
[01:27] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Progress No Bootable Partition
[01:28] <rats_> tiox I agree
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> toal193: I've seen some users on launchpad asking the same, looks like it.
[01:28] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: Assuming you get this error when trying to boot from USB, how did you prepare the USB drive?
[01:28] <danub> anyone know how to change the splash screens?
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> toal193: possibly the devs enjoying the xmas period, just like you did...
[01:28] <danub> http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter
[01:28] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: I didn't, just copy pasted, going to google how to make a partition now
[01:28] <danub> downloaded from that page, how do i make it the active login screen
[01:29] <ohzie> draven_sol: I think that once the device has an identifier you can just be like mdadm -add /dev/md0 /dev/sdh1
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> danub: all you can change on the login screen is the wallpaper and the colour of the login box, those things are for gdm1, the currently supported ubuntus use gdm2
[01:29] <ohzie> draven_sol: substitute MD and SD device identifiers as needed
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> draven_sol: i don't use raid, and if I did i certainly wuldnt use software raid
[01:29] <draven_sol> ohzie, thanks, i ended up doing a fdisk -l on a good drive to see how they were partitioned
[01:30] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: Follow the directions @ http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[01:30] <danub> damn, so all the things i just downloaded i cant even use?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> danub: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> danub: you could use the wallpaper maybe
[01:30] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Danke
[01:30] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: Bitte.
[01:31] <bj0> i tried modifying rsyslogd's startup parameters by editing /etc/default/rsyslog , but when i restart the service, it seems to ignore it and start up with the default "-c4" anyway
[01:31] <Cypher78> so what should be the first thing a newb learns
[01:31] <bj0> anyone mess with this before?
[01:31] <clarezoe> hi, anyone knows how check the archives for this channel?
[01:32] <Jordan_U> !logs | clarezoe
[01:32] <root_> hi someone here uses backtrack?
[01:32] <ohzie> Cypher78: The first thing an ubuntu noob should learn is how to read conf files.
[01:33] <ohzie> root_: A bit, what's up?
[01:33] <aboudreault_> hi folks
[01:33] <KM0201> !backtrack | root_
[01:33] <aboudreault_> Is there a 3d movie player for Linux yet?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> Cypher78: just use the OS and overcome obstacles as you go
[01:33] <aboudreault_> tried VLC and dragonplayer without succes....
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> clarezoe: how do you mean "archives"?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> root_: backtrack isnt supported or discussed here
[01:33] <Guest73132> hello
[01:34] <bj0> aboudreault_: totem, mplayer, probably several others
[01:34] <wrd> Cypher78: I think the most important thing you need to learn is how to deal with shortcomings and what you need to do to help yourself.
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> root_: also runing IRC clients as root is a really bad idea
[01:34] <lithpr> hi- i just accidently deleted my me menu- how do i get it back?
[01:34] <aboudreault_> bj0: ok thx, will try totem.
[01:34] <root_> how can i add repostory for mediabuntu on backtrack 4
[01:34] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | root_
[01:35] <aboudreault_> bj0: is there anything special to do in the player configuration?
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> lithpr: root_ your OS isn't supported here
[01:35] <bj0> aboudreault_: not really, depends on what you want
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> lithpr: sudo apt-get install indicator-me
[01:35] <aboudreault_> bj0: alright. will just try the default setting.
[01:36] <campbellgolf> anyone setup a SFTP server before?
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> campbellgolf: sudo apt-get install openssh-server   and you have one
[01:36] <lithpr> ActionParsnip, it says it's installed, but i don't have it as an option for "add to panel"
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> lithpr: it runs in the notification area. try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install indicator-me
[01:37] <campbellgolf> ActionParsnip  yeah, got one.  I'm trying to jail a set of users to a specific folder to share content.  Any ideas?
[01:38] <clarezoe> is adrian15 here?
[01:38] <danub> where is the trash can?
[01:38] <lithpr> oic- ActionParsnip it's just called Indicator Applet
[01:38] <lithpr> comes with the sound indicator too
[01:38] <lithpr> didn't know that was missing :)
[01:39] <danub> or the or the recyclebin, whatever
[01:39] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, happen to have this in my paste history... :)   http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny
[01:39] <aeon-ltd> danub: are you using nautilus?
[01:39] <campbellgolf> ActionPasrnip  when I modify the sshd_config to forum recommendations, the configuration blows up.
[01:39] <danub> beats me
[01:39] <red2kic> !trash | danub
[01:39] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: No, but ask your question and someone else will likely be able to help.
[01:40] <danub> but where did the icon go?
[01:40] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, what version of ubuntu?
[01:40] <danub> shouldn't it be on the desktop?
[01:40] <kcorcoran_> inhaled dinner...lol
[01:40] <campbellgolf> v0lksman  will read!
[01:41] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, for SFTP you only need steps 1 - 3...but only if you have openssh5.1 or higher
[01:41] <campbellgolf> v0lskman I'm using the latest Turnkey File Server, based on Ubuntu:  http://www.turnkeylinux.org/fileserver
[01:41] <moe> .
[01:42] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, hrm...never heard of that before...thanks!  :)  but check the version of openssh...if it's older than 5.1 you will be smashing your head for a bit
[01:42] <campbellgolf> v0lksman  np.. by chance have the command for that?  ssh --version or is that is?
[01:43] <v0lksman> dpkg -l|grep ssh should work
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> !info openssh-server
[01:43] <clarezoe> thanks Jordan_U. Because he helped me yesterday, and he knows my problems, if he is here, it will be easier. :)
[01:43] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, ^ that's what you want to see... :)
[01:43] <clarezoe> Here is my problem, my partitions are all unknown under gparted
[01:44] <clarezoe> I just changed my partition table
[01:44] <aboudreault_> mplayer complains about ac-3 atsc a/52 driver missing. the lib seems to be installed though
[01:44] <AutoMatriX> Hi folks
[01:45] <clarezoe> ActionParsnip: I found it :). i meant logs
[01:46] <campbellgolf> v0lksman  roger that, ssh 1:5.3p1-3ubuntu4... I'll read up on the link, thanks for your help.
[01:46] <WeThePeople> imac support
[01:47] <hiexpo> hola all
[01:47] <AutoMatriX> hiexpo, going to be polite, hi too ;)
[01:48] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[01:48] <hiexpo> ? is there a way to find all the un needed apps i have installed  and no longer use
[01:48] <WeThePeople> anybody know what channel  imac support is on
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: #apple  probably
[01:48] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  you got a second to go private?
[01:48] <hiexpo> sup ActionParsnip
[01:48] <plurrtard> Perhaps somebody can help me here. I use Ubuntu Netbook Remix and somehow managed to mess up GRUB. I've managed to get it out of grub rescue and into normal grub, but I can't seem to get my computer to boot any further than that.
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: yo
[01:49] <coz_> WeThePeople,   I dont see any imac channels on freenode  at least with this search
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> plurrtard: boot to livecd and reinstall grub to the disk
[01:49] <cmang> WeThePeople: imac support?  that would be the genius bar.
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> cmang: probably charges too, apple loves the cash and hates their users
[01:50] <OchoZero9> can i install ubuntu through a portable hard drive instad of a flash drive?
[01:50] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550461/ here it is
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: sure, same deal
[01:50] <cmang> ActionParsnip: everyone charges for tech support.
[01:50] <cmang> except irc.
[01:50] <WeThePeople> thx guys
[01:50] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: and here is the screenshot of gparted http://imagebin.ca/img/3oWoeypu.png
[01:50] <OchoZero9> ActionParsnip, how do i go about it if usb creator doesn't reckognize it
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: try unetbootin
[01:51] <OchoZero9> I'm on windows 7 btw
[01:51] <plurrtard> ActionParsnip: How do I go about doing that? I've read like 10 posts on the Ubuntu forums which all offer different solutions and none of them have worked yet.
[01:51] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: At the grub shell run this: search --set --file /boot/grub/grub.cfg; configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> plurrtard: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html
[01:51] <danub> how do i get the trash can to show up on my desktop or in my toolbar?
[01:52] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: You gave the wrong --root= argument to grub-install, which is why I prefer this guide using chroot over others: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[01:52] <hiexpo> danub, what version you using of ubunmtu
[01:52] <share> :)
[01:52] <javel> danub - add to panel
[01:52] <danub> 10.10
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> danub: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-the-trash-can-icon-to-your-ubuntu-desktop/
[01:53] <danub> got it, thanks
[01:53] <danub> wow... all that just to get a trash can to show up lol
[01:53] <hiexpo> its a magic can
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> danub: its quite simple, gconf is not disimilar to XP enabling the trash on desktop
[01:54] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: You can probably recover with testdisk.
[01:54] <red2kic> danub: Ubuntu Tweak can do the job... *shrug*
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: why use a 3rd party app when the OS can do it already?
[01:54] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: sure, i'll try it. any quick tips?
[01:54] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: Do *not* try to mount any partitions or do anything else with the disk untill you have fixed the partition table (with testdisk).
[01:54] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: Hence the *shrug* ;)
[01:55] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: ok
[01:55] <plurrtard> Thanks guys! 2 more places I haven't come across yet. Will try them and hope they work!
[01:55] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: what function of testdisk should i use?
[01:56] <|z00m|> anyone having problems with connecting to irc with ssl ? Connection failed. Error: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number
[01:56] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: "sudo testdisk", select create new log file, select your hard drive, select continue, select Intel, select Analyse, select quick search.
[01:57] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: After all that it will hopefully have a proposed new partition table.
[01:57] <|z00m|> im on XChat 2.8.6

[02:07] <moocawne> GeekSquid: Thanks very much, had unrar already installed, didn't realise I could just double click on it!
[02:07] <Cypher78> says unavailbe
[02:07] <GeekSquid> Nanoha: the zombies are prolly locking things up ... you will need to run sudo top to give yourself rights to kill any of them
[02:07] <Nanoha> I don't see any with a Z status
[02:08] <lucasdecastro> trojan_spike, all are updated! I tried upgrade gstreamer by hand, compiling source code, but it is very complex, and finished some dependencies...
[02:08] <rats_>              run sudo top to give yourself rights to kill any of them
[02:08] <lucasdecastro> trojan_spike ... finished breaking some dependencies.
[02:08] <Nanoha> is there a way to only list Zombies?
[02:09] <twiggy> heyyy anyone here know how to bridge networks??

[02:12] <Nanoha> nope, neither one listed anything.  the -ef |grep Z listed the grep process only.
[02:12] <jfer> i realise that the ipod cannot play ogg banshee gave me an error saying that no transcoder was found

[02:14] <Nanoha> okay, thanks.  That listed all the processes, but I don't know which ones are Zombied.
[02:14] <coz_> Nanoha,  if you pipe  ps -A  with grep  you may be able to list the zombies alone

[02:49] <ikonia> cricketeer: if you are physically connecting, why are you referencing a dell wirless card
[02:50] <cricketeer> Let me restate more clearly. I have a wireless card, but I'm plugged into ethernet.
[02:50] <ikonia> cricketeer: right, so what network card do you have
[02:50] <cricketeer> I just told you.
[02:50] <kieppie1> hi guys. I have what seems to be a bug on my system; my desktop icons & fonts are tiny, and I don't seem able to reset it. any ideas, please?
[02:50] <ikonia> cricketeer: you told me your wireless card, which you're not using as you are physcially plugged in
[02:51] <martin_>  ubuntu
[02:51] <cricketeer> I do use wireless when I take my laptop elsewhere.
[02:51] <cricketeer> Otherwise I just plug it in here at the desk.

[02:51] <martin_> more clearly how can i erase all my data

[02:52] <cheater99> i'm off, bye guys!
[02:52] <GeekSquid> cricketeer: lemme see if I can understand this, you are online via a wire, which by default will be eth0 ... usually eth1 or wlan0 will come up as wireless .... or is it that you have absolutly no conectivity with this machine?
[02:52] <martin_> ikonia i meant i want to keep this OS but start from scratch
[02:52] <ikonia> martin_: you need to re-install it
[02:53] <martin_> crap

[02:53] <cricketeer> I apologize, I don't know very much about this sort of thing. Let me think how best to restate myself.
[02:54] <ikonia> cricketeer: let me help you
[02:54] <ikonia> cricketeer: are you using a cable currently, yes/no
[02:54] <OchoZero9> how do i make a usb HDD bootable?
[02:55] <cricketeer> Yes, but it's not necessary. I can use this connection without plugging in an ethernet cable from the router to the laptop.
[02:55] <ikonia> cricketeer: just looking for yes/no answers
[02:55] <ao1782> thats likely the problem alsa base.conf doesn't have dell listed; just like 25 lines of code
[02:55] <ikonia> cricketeer: are you currently using a cable, yes/no
[02:55] <Nanoha> OchoZero9: OH  I know this one!  I just installed the USB in the slot, then installed the CD in the drive and let the installer install to the usb drive
[02:55] <cricketeer> Yes.
[02:55] <ikonia> cricketeer: is that cable connection currently working yes/no
[02:55] <cricketeer> Yes.
[02:56] <GeekSquid> cricketeer: System>Admin>HardwareDrivers ... Activate the broadcom driver
[02:56] <ikonia> cricketeer: are you trying to connect to a wirless network while the cable is still plugged in yes/no
[02:56] <cricketeer> I'm trying to connect to ANYTHING.
[02:56] <cricketeer> I'm using Vista right now.
[02:56] <OchoZero9> Nanoha, I don't have a CD drive, and my usb hard drive is not a flash drive, so usbcreater didn't work
[02:57] <ikonia> cricketeer: so does the cable connection not work in ubuntu yes/no

[02:57] <cricketeer> No.
[02:57] <michaelgamble> seems my flash player isn't stable in my google chrome
[02:57] <michaelgamble> :p
[02:58] <ikonia> cricketeer: right, so we need the make of the network card that's not working
[02:58] <cricketeer> Okay, where in Vista can I go to find that?
[02:59] <ikonia> cricketeer: ask the guys in ##windows
[02:59] <cricketeer> You're joking...
[02:59] <ikonia> no
[03:00] <cricketeer> As far as I know, the make is a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. It is manufactured by broadcom.
[03:00] <ikonia> cricketeer: that's the wireless card
[03:00] <ikonia> cricketeer: please verify the card make/model
[03:00] <cricketeer> It's the only card I have.
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> michaelgamble: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf    Thanks
[03:01] <ikonia> cricketeer: I can't be bothered any more, I'm not begging you for information, you have two network cards, a wired and a wirless,
[03:01] <cricketeer> I didn't know that.
[03:01] <JonLoeffler> Why can't i install simon?
[03:01] <ikonia> cricketeer: you did, as you told me you had a wired and a wireless, I'm not interested anymore,
[03:02] <cricketeer> You misunderstood.
[03:02] <b3rz3rk3r> hi all, im having problems getting byobu to accept bash aliases, when starting byobu all my aliases show "bash alias not found". How do I fix this?
[03:02] <cricketeer> I'm not sure how to reword it to suit you.
[03:02] <GeekSquid> cricketeer: please bring up your network devices ... there will be 2 of them
[03:03] <ikonia> GeekSquid: we are not debugging/troubleshooting windows in here
[03:03] <cricketeer> Lighten up.
[03:03] <ikonia> cricketeer: no
[03:03] <michael__> that kill gnome panel still didn't kill it
[03:03] <GeekSquid> ikonia: we are trying to find out what wired device cricketeer has
[03:03] <ikonia> GeekSquid: we are not supporting/helping use windows,
[03:04] <chaospsychex> yeah that's right,windows suxorz!
[03:04] <cricketeer> I'm trying to connect in Ubuntu before I install.
[03:04] <cricketeer> Hence, #Ubuntu.
[03:04] <chaospsychex> connect to what?
[03:04] <cricketeer> I believe I haven't worded my queries correctly. My fault -- lack of expertise.
[03:04] <GeekSquid> ikonia: however, in order to support this person we need to know what kind of hardware this person has, so we can support ubuntu
[03:04] <CloseCall> hello, is there anyone with some experience with rsync ?
[03:04] <ikonia> chaospsychex: please don't make pointless comments like windows suzorz
[03:04] <ikonia> GeekSquid: yes, so you can either take it to pm or ##windows, not here
[03:05] <chaospsychex> ikonia: *suxorz! ;-P
[03:05] <cricketeer> Geek: I'll get the info and tell you. It's okay. We don't want to upset the balance of the universe.
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> CloseCall: in what sense
[03:05] <kieppie1> hi guys. I have what seems to be a bug on my system; my desktop icons & fonts are tiny, and I don't seem able to reset it. any ideas, please?
[03:06] <Nanoha> okay, stupid question time: Is there any way that I can reinstall Ubuntu without destroying my data on my hard drives?  I just want to refresh my install with a clean install
[03:06] <CloseCall> i have been copying a large mailstore with rsync over the last few days
[03:06] <CheetoBandito> Anyone have experience with joining multicast groups on multiple interfaces in >= 10.04 ?
[03:06] <ikonia> Nanoha: no
[03:06] <oguardian2> kieppie1: is it gnome desktop?
[03:06] <kieppie1> oguardian2: correct
[03:06] <CloseCall> and it has finally finished but the if i run a du -sh  on the folder the sizes differ
[03:06] <CloseCall> the new one is larger
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> Nanoha: backup what you need and reinstall
[03:06] <ikonia> CloseCall: different disk/block size may make it appear slightly different
[03:07] <ikonia> CloseCall: how different is it
[03:07] <oguardian2> kieppie1: perhaps you can try temporarily moving .gconf and .gnome directories so that they are recreated
[03:07] <CloseCall> as in 200G
[03:07] <CloseCall> but
[03:07] <ikonia> CloseCall: ok, that's very different, 200GB is not a minor difference
[03:07] <CloseCall> i did rsync without the --delete option
[03:07] <CheetoBandito> I believe we may have found a bug
[03:07] <kieppie1> oguardian2: thanks. I'll try that
[03:08] <Nanoha> okay.  I was hoping to just be able to fix the problem without being so dramatic
[03:08] <CloseCall> so the files on the destination is problaly email that customers retrivied via pop during the day
[03:08] <Nanoha> I don't think i'll ever be doing any kind of upgrading in the future again.  This was a horrible experiance.
[03:08] <ikonia> CloseCall: 200gb is still a big difference, even for an active mail service
[03:08] <CloseCall> but i am a little hasitent to run it with the --delete option because i do not want to screw up 8 night shifts of syncing
[03:09] <cricketeer> GeekSquid: Got it. My "Network adapters" are: Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet, and Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. (Didn't know I had two...)
[03:09] <delinquentme> is the UBUNTU server editiona fairly like the NORMAL desktop ubuntu version??
[03:09] <CloseCall> mm not really we have 80K of emailboxen
[03:09] <Nanoha> delinquentme: no
[03:09] <ikonia> CloseCall: still 200gb is a LOT
[03:09] <CloseCall> there goes allot of email through that
[03:09] <Nanoha> it is TERMINAL only by default
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: it comes with no desktop, if you need a desktop with mouse interactivity, install desktop
[03:09] <CloseCall> but when i do a dry-run with the delete option
[03:09] <delinquentme> Nanoha, ohhhh ok
[03:09] <delinquentme> thanks guys
[03:09] <Nanoha> np
[03:10] <CloseCall> rsync indeed says there are differences in the src and dst
[03:10] <CloseCall> and wants to remove files in the dst
[03:10] <oguardian2> cricketeer: one ethernet and one wireless.  virtually all laptops have "two"
[03:10] <cricketeer> Neat.
[03:10] <CloseCall> and when i check that by hand rsync is right
[03:10] <w1n5ton0> What is the command to execute a .jar with openjdk?
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> w1n5ton0: jave -jar filename.jar
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> java -jar filename.jar   sorry
[03:11] <cricketeer> While running Ubuntu from my flash drive, it does try to install some sort of Broadcom update, but I can't connect to anything, so naturally that's not feasible.
[03:11] <w1n5ton0> That launches Sun Java though
[03:11] <ikonia> CloseCall: seems like you've solved your own issue, just need to actually run it
[03:12] <OmnipotentEntity> hey guys, I'm having a problem with my printer, hpijs is segfaulting causing the error "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" any ideas?

[03:12] <OmnipotentEntity> it's an HP OfficeJet 6000
[03:12] <CheetoBandito> theres an environment variable for the JRE
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> cricketeer: has a method to use the files on the liveCD to instal chepo broadcom 43xx wirelesses
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> OmnipotentEntity: grab the latest HPLIP from the HPLIP site and install it
[03:14] <tsjackson> hi
[03:14] <cricketeer> Thanks Action, thanks ubottu. I'll look over the page you sent me and see what I can accomplish.
[03:14] <oguardian2> ActionParsnip: how do you know what other things ubottu has in its memory?
[03:14] <cricketeer> If it's no dice, I'll pop in later. Thanks a bunch everyone.
[03:15] <OmnipotentEntity> ActionParsnip, is there a .deb package for it?  I'm installing this on my gf's computer, and I'd rather it take care of itself with the updates.
[03:15] <OmnipotentEntity> or an rpm that I can convert via alien?
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> OmnipotentEntity: it comes in a script form, just mark it as executable and run it.

[03:24] <plurrtard> I'm back, and still from a LiveUSB. Perhaps I can explain my situation a little better now: Yesterday, I went to boot Windows XP from GRUB (I dual boot Ubuntu Netbook Remix) and accidentally hit the Windows Recovery option. Windows Recovery came up and I hit 'Cancel' when it gave me the "Are you sure you want to do this" message. My computer rebooted into GRUB recovery. I booted from LiveUSB and have tried just about everything Goog
[03:24] <plurrtard> le offered me to no avail. When I do an 'fdisk -l' -- my ubuntu partition (/dev/sda4) shows up as "Unknown" under "System". I can't mount it or do anything with it because I keep getting "you must specify a filetype" errors. Can anyone please help me either fix this problem or at least recover some files?
[03:24] <DaGeek247> !topic
[03:24] <GeekSquid> DaGeek247: try /topic
[03:24] <DaGeek247> did. look:
[03:25] <KM0201> ah...
[03:25] <DaGeek247> didnt work. :/
[03:25] <KM0201> GeekSquid: you're a pretty smart feller
[03:25] <KM0201> DaGeek247: yeahit does
[03:25] <DaGeek247> dont see the topic...
[03:25] <chaospsychex> whats the ubuntu offtopic channel?
[03:25] <trench> plurrtard: is the partition big?
[03:25] <KM0201> !offtopic | chaospsychex
[03:26] <KM0201> DaGeek247: when you type "/TOPIC" you don't see the channel topic?
[03:26] <GeekSquid> KM0201: are you talking good about me, now people are going to expect things from me
[03:26] <plurrtard> trench: My ubuntu partition is 90GB
[03:26] <KM0201> GeekSquid: hey, i never knew you could do that..lol
[03:27] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Most of your data may be gone if the recovery utility overwrote your Ubuntu partition.
[03:28] <Nanoha> does anybody know what "gdbm" is?  I got a fatal: read error when I tried to install xserver-xorg
[03:28] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Try using the utility testdisk to see if it's just a problem with your partition table. If testdisk can't find your ext partition then photorec may be able to recover some files.
[03:28] <trench> plurrtard: i would take a backup of it dd if=/dev/sda4 of=/path/to/backup.iso
[03:29] <trench> plurrtard: and then try to mount the iso
[03:30] <trench> plurrtard: so you have a backup
[03:30] <trench> plurrtard: you have ext3 or ext4 or the filesystem right?
[03:31] <plurrtard> trench: good idea. And yes, I believe it was ext4
[03:33] <jkoby> Hi all, I'm running 10.04 server, and I'm having issues getting a program to run.  http://pastebin.com/6SbNcV2a
[03:34] <jkoby> even though the file is in the current directory, bash doesn'tbelieve it's there.
[03:34] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: testdisk is recognizing the partition as Linux
[03:34] <goetter> jkoby sounds confusing!
[03:35] <jkoby> goetter: it really is.  mc shows it with a * before the name, not sure what that means.
[03:35] <goetter> try chmod 777 hld* and try again
[03:35] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Good, does it have an option to write the new partition table to disk?
[03:35] <bindi> jkoby: try sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1
[03:35] <jkoby> nope, same thing, goetter
[03:35] <bindi> jkoby: google suggests that
[03:35] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Yes. Should I do that?
[03:36] <jkoby> bindi: sure enough! thanks for the help. :)
[03:36] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: First make sure that you have the output of "sudo fdisk -lu" saved somewhere.
[03:37] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Once you have that output saved somewhere then yes, select "Write".

[03:39] <timdawn> I have a domain name *.com, im trying to make some shells... I dont want my regular hostname showing when it goes into IRC how can i made it *@mydomain.com
[03:39] <timdawn> ?
[03:39] <timdawn> make*
[03:41] <Diamondcite> timdawn: IRC servers try to get the domain returned from the reverse DNS of the IP connecting.
[03:41] <Diamondcite> timdawn: So unless the IP resolves to that domain it shouldn't do that?
[03:42] <timdawn> but how do ppl get all them crazy *@names.com in IRC? on their shell/bot accounts
[03:42] <timdawn> its threw a domain
[03:42] <Diamondcite> timdawn: SOME IRC servers support virtual hosts. That is network dependent.
[03:43] <rewt> and some shells have an ip block, one ip per hostname
[03:43] <Jordan_U> timdawn: Try asking in #freenode.
[03:44] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Alright, the partition table was written to the disk
[03:44] <timdawn> ok ty

[03:56] <CoCo_Kid594> anyone use old legecy video?  my problem is if I try and add a video card it locks uo halfway through the bootup.  i have several pci slots.. I'm stuck with this crappy onboard cirrus logic video.. no way to disable it in the bios and run a pci one.  I know it can do it because under a old copy of knopix i get hte vido modes I want.
[03:57] <GeekSquid> Steve973: php will do that with ease ... just look on google for a php based file upload script
[03:57] <tkcientista> I know
[03:57] <tkcientista> just i write in the wrong channel
[03:58] <Steve973> GeekSquid, I say "deployable" because I don't want to use a library and develop the capability.
[03:58] <chaospsychex> ?
[03:58] <CoCo_Kid594> Other then that I love ubuntu.. i am running it on a proliant blade server and an old LH3 but having major issues with the video..
[03:58] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: the home/ubuntu folder on the LiveUSB. It didn't really give me any other options.
[03:58] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: That actually just writes to RAM (will go away when you reboot).
[03:59] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: You'll need to mount another drive / partition to restore the files to.

[04:03] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Hmm...Is it trying to copy the entire partition? The biggest drive I have is 2GB.
[04:03] <GeekSquid> Steve973: you are running a webserver, HTTP POST FileUpload in apache is what does what you want, but really there isn't any development to do what you want, as it has already been done
[04:03] <kelwynsa8> scratch that, installed!
[04:03] <xangua> kelwynsa8: try the 64bit flash plugin, you can install it easily with a ppa, google for: flash 64 ppa
[04:03] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: It will try to copy all of the files from the partition that it can recover, yes.
[04:05] <GSF1200S> i have ubuntu installed on my moms computer with an old pentium 3 and ddr1 ram. I ordered a new motherboard, ddr2 ram, and core2duo processor to put in her computer. My question: does the ubuntu installer determine what drivers are needed and configure the kernel that way, or does it run checks every boot?
[04:06] <adnap> i think i know part of the problem.  rfkill says that my wireless is hard blocked: http://pastebin.com/cHXugWi4
[04:06] <GSF1200S> Im just wondering if ill need to recompile the kernel to her new hardware, or if it will automatically load the proper modules at boot
[04:07] <adnap> whoo, got it working with sudo rfkill unblock all
[04:08] <adnap> not sure why it was blocked in the first place.  is there any reason why something should be blocked?
[04:08] <Gartral> GSF1200S, your upgrade will have no ill effects as long as the kernel will run on the mobo
[04:08] <tristan3199us1> im having an issue with .torrent file types.. if i open a file from the file system it opens in transmission like i want.. but if i click on a link to one in firefox it opens in ktorrent... it seems firefox is associating my torrents with ktorrent and i have no idea how to fix it..
[04:09] <sacarlson> adnap: yes when your on an aircraft and you don't want to radiate
[04:09] <GSF1200S> Gartal: yeah, ok.. makes sense. The chipsets are supported by the linux kernel (mobo), so I should be good to go.. I guess ubuntu just runs scripts at boot to check for chipset requirements right? Cool..
[04:09] <adnap> sacarlson: why was it blocked in the first place?

[04:13] <tonsofpcs> stevecam: not sure, i don't have nautilus here, just check in preferences/options
[04:13] <GeekSquid> dragonstone: builtin to a car?
[04:13] <GSF1200S> stevecam: open nautilus and go into its preferences section- disable previews

[04:14] <xangua> Guest58704: metacity --replace
[04:15] <tonsofpcs> maybe?
[04:15] <tonsofpcs> could be a permissions issue with the folder too
[04:15] <stevecam> GSF1200S, nautilus doesn't open up, the media player does, so how do i change the settings for this
[04:15] <tonsofpcs> like, if the folder has rw but not x and has a name that matches a mime filter...
[04:15] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Thank you so much for all the help1
[04:15] <GSF1200S> stevecam: WHERE are you opening the folder from? Desktop?
[04:15] <trench> Pendrag0n: http://everythinglinux.org/rsync/ read about it here?
[04:15] <GSF1200S> because the desktop IS nautilus..

[04:16] <stevecam> GSF1200S, same thing happens when i open it up from the desktop and places menu
[04:16] <GeekSquid> dragonstone: I am afraid you'll never be able to flash that unit, pioneer might provide updates... what I said "thinking laptop... you would need a internet connection, gps connected, and google maps... I don't think you'll get that device to accept anything but pioneers' software
[04:16] <GSF1200S> stevecam: open a terminal and run: nautilus
[04:16] <GSF1200S> see what the terminal spits out and see if it opens nautilus
[04:17] <dragonstone> GeekSquid. darn. thanks
[04:17] <GSF1200S> alternatively, you can install thunar if you need immediate access to files while we fix this issue
[04:17] <stevecam> GSF1200S, it opens
[04:18] <GSF1200S> ok, check the preferences and see if you can change what the default is for opening folders
[04:18] <Guest58704> please describe about metacity
[04:18] <trench> what do you mean?
[04:18] <Guest58704> what is the terminal conmmand..
[04:18] <GSF1200S> also, try System--> administration/preferences and look for preferred applications- im sorry im not on gnome so im a little foggy on where it is
[04:20] <trench> Guest58704: what do you want todo?
[04:20] <stevecam> GSF1200S, i can not find anything in either spot that would explain what is happening
[04:21] <Guest58704> i want to show minimizing and closing button on terminal....please help me
[04:21] <GSF1200S> stevecam: hmmm.. im thinking
[04:22] <trench> Guest58704: not started any wm?
[04:22] <Guest58704> trench:describe about command on terminal to show it..
[04:22] <StrangeCharm> can i call gnome-terminal so that it opens multiple tabs, each of which has a particular command in it?
[04:23] <Guest58704> terminaltrench:no
[04:23] <Krishnandu> Hi, I use this makefile to compile a program http://fpaste.org/esmu/, can anyone tell me the commandline to compile the same?? Sorry I don't understand makefiles.
[04:23] <mister_m> why does VLC open and try to play everything in my home folder when I go to PLaces> home folder
[04:23] <naryfa> StrangeCharm: If I'm not mistaken you have to edit your ~/.bashrc
[04:23] <stevecam> mister_m, i am having the exact same problem
[04:23] <mister_m> stevecam, did you just install eclipse?
[04:24] <stevecam> no
[04:24] <mister_m> stevecam, wireshark?
[04:24] <stevecam> no
[04:24] <mister_m> stevecam, then IDK WTF I did
[04:24] <GSF1200S> man, two people with this problem.. hmmmm
[04:24] <naryfa> :)
[04:25] <trench> never seen that before on the same channel :P
[04:25] <stevecam> mister_m, if we both hang around here we have more chances of getting this problem solves
[04:25] <naryfa> it's a timeloop
[04:25] <StrangeCharm> naryfa, ugh, editing my bashrc is second only to clawing out my eyes in things that i don't want to do
[04:25] <stevecam> solved
[04:25] <sandeep_> thetr is no closing or minimizing button ...please help me...
[04:25] <mister_m> stevecam, do tell
[04:25] <GeekSquid> Krishnandu: I'll ask you to take that question to #c++ , not really on topic for here so please /join #c++
[04:25] <trench> Krishnandu: do a apt-cache show checkinstall
[04:26] <trench> an
[04:26] <sandeep_> In my terminal ,there is no minimizing or closing button ...please help me..
[04:26] <GSF1200S> stevecam: when did this start happening?
[04:26] <stevecam> earlier in the week
[04:26] <GeekSquid> trench: compiler questions are offtopic for this channel
[04:26] <crooks3o6> sandeep_: ctrl-D or exit will close the term
[04:26] <GSF1200S> mister_m: how about you?
[04:26] <Krishnandu> GeekSquid, I tried them first, they says this is not specific to C or C++
[04:26] <trench> GeekSquid: he asked so then i figured he could check it out :P
[04:27] <mister_m> GSF1200S, I just noticed it now
[04:27] <GeekSquid> Krishnandu: well for one, you will need a compiler environment ... sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:27] <GSF1200S> out of curiousity, what happens if you guys REMOVE vlc?
[04:27] <sandeep_> crooks3o6:please tell me the terminal command to show it..
[04:28] <mister_m> GSF1200S, I havemn't tried that
[04:28] <trench> GeekSquid: i belive if he just did sudo apt-get checkinstall it would install all the deps right?
[04:28] <GSF1200S> give it a shot- its easy to reinstall
[04:28] <mister_m> that would be the next step
[04:28] <stevecam> ok, i have just found a solution
[04:28] <Krishnandu> GeekSquid, I have that, the problem is I want the command to compile without using that makefile
[04:28] <GSF1200S> maybe something in the gnome registry (gconf-editor)
[04:28] <stevecam> it doesn't address why the problem happened in the first place but i will go through it with you mister_m
[04:29] <sandeep_> please tell me ....how to involve metacity
[04:29] <sandeep_> what is metacity
[04:29] <GSF1200S> stevecam: yeah i agree- crap like this shouldnt happen, especially to 2 people. Bug for sure..
[04:29] <sandeep_> what is the terminal, command for it..
[04:29] <GeekSquid> trench: seems you can help with this, would you take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:30] <mister_m> GSF1200S, it landed on some music by The Smiths, and started playing it - I was like: "well, okay ... but I'm still asking about this"
[04:30] <reya276> How can I make Krita look the same visually in Ubuntu as it does in Kubuntu/KDE?
[04:31] <stevecam> right-click on a folder that is on your desktop and select the option "Other Application" in the "Open With" sub menu, then you need to go through the list and select file browser, make sure that you have checked the box "Remember this application" and press open
[04:32] <Kiwi__> hi
[04:32] <mister_m> you know I must have downloaded something and accidentally checked that
[04:32] <mister_m> for vlc
[04:32] <stevecam> no, i think it is something that got messed up in an update
[04:32] <GSF1200S> i agree with stevecam
[04:32] <stevecam> the ubuntu team need to address this problem
[04:32] <mister_m> stevecam, I guess its always possible
[04:33] <Guest39539> can i creat iso file form the ubuntu which is currently running in my machine
[04:33] <Guest39539> ??
[04:33] <Blue1> Guest39539: yes with dd
[04:33] <mister_m> stevecam, good thinking with the fix though
[04:33] <soreau> Guest39539: Probably not without a second burner
[04:33] <stevecam> mister_m, it isn't choosing VLC, it is choosing your default media player that so happens to be VLC
[04:33] <sacarlson> Guest39539: or remastersys
[04:33] <soreau> ! backup | Guest39539
[04:34] <AbhiJit> radio tray is not working
[04:34] <Blue1> Guest39539: i use rsync to backup.
[04:34] <AbhiJit> help
[04:34] <GSF1200S> Blue1: +1
[04:34] <stevecam> and it needs to be address pretty quickly too, not everyone is good at fixing problems that is why they use ubuntu in the first place
[04:34] <Guest39539> Blue1, so rsync ??
[04:35] <Blue1> Guest39539: or the gui grsync
[04:35] <Blue1> AbhiJit: radio tray?
[04:35] <AbhiJit> Blue1, yes
[04:36] <stevecam> mister_m, im going to leave this as a bug report with ubuntu, when did you notice that this was happening?
[04:36] <Blue1> AbhiJit: well there I don't know what that is, I don't have one, can you tell me what it is?
[04:36] <AbhiJit> Blue1, http://radiotray.sourceforge.net/
[04:37] <mister_m> stevecam, after i did apt-get install eclipse wireshark
[04:37] <Blue1> AbhiJit: on my way.
[04:37] <zoLevDotCom> :-)
[04:37] <stevecam> mister_m, did you install any updates?
[04:37] <mister_m> stevecam, I can't remember.
[04:37] <schambers> how can i re-run 10.10 server setup to get back into network setup. iwconfig isn't installed and i need it to connect to a wireless network
[04:38] <Blue1> AbhiJit: I have never seen that but tell me more about your issue.
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> schambers: is wicd available on the server cd?
[04:38] <sacarlson> schambers: you sure you didn't forget to use sudo iwconfig ?
[04:39] <AbhiJit> Blue1, when i click on channel name it just goes in 'connecting to' state and then nothing happens
[04:39] <schambers> hmm
[04:39] <schambers> sacarlson: it tells me command not installed, do apt-get install iwconfig to install it
[04:39] <Blue1> AbhiJit: but does it work on another channel?  if so, then it is an issue with the site.
[04:39] <schambers> ActionParsnip: hmm. not sure. is that the server config app?
[04:40] <AbhiJit> Blue1, no
[04:40] <Blue1> AbhiJit: private messge ok?
[04:40] <barf_barf> i have / installed to a sd card , I want to clone it and move the files off then put them back on exactly as it was before
[04:40] <AbhiJit> Blue1, ok but why?
[04:40] <massmc> hello everyone.. How do I stop the ballon notifications top right in gnome??? Ive looked everywhere
[04:41] <sacarlson> schambers: maybe the server aditions is different I see no iwconfig package in the repository
[04:41] <stevecam> fuck this, cant be bothered reporting a bug, the launchpad site is playing up
[04:41] <Blue1> AbhiJit: well I wanted to explore some debugging issues with you, and it is hard to do that in this channel -
[04:41] <schambers> hmm
[04:41] <IdleOne> !language | stevecam
[04:41] <schambers> how can i auto-detect wireless config?
[04:41] <schambers> all i see is loopback in /etc/network/interfaces
[04:41] <stevecam> if somebody else wants to do report a bug about this then they can go right ahead, it would be nice if people had a working captcha on there website
[04:42] <schambers> it seems as if it is in the server setup under manual package selection according to this forum post
[04:42] <GeekSquid> stevecam: launchpad uses openid, hence no need for captcha
[04:42] <schambers> but how can i get back into the package selection after i have already installed ubuntu server
[04:42] <stevecam> i dont have an openid, so i was registering
[04:42] <AbhiJit> Blue1, ok come in pm
[04:43] <soreau> schambers: Have you tried specifying the full path to iwconfig? /sbin/iwconfig
[04:43] <shtepsel> seen
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> schambers: you can use iwconfig to configure wifi at cli, wicd has wicd-curses which will give an ncurses gui to wicd
[04:43] <shtepsel> where is the
[04:43] <shtepsel> seenserv

[04:43] <schambers> iwconfig isnt installed on ubuntu server by default
[04:43] <shtepsel> seen serv ?
[04:43] <schambers> it looks like i need to select it
[04:43] <IdleOne> shtepsel: no we don't
[04:43] <schambers> how can i get back into the server setup?
[04:45] <trench> schambers: you don't need to go into the server setup to install something
[04:46] <schambers> off the cd?
[04:47] <srini> could not open scanner ICM profile in Ubuntu how to solve this problem?
[04:47] <michaelgamble> hey anyone here framiliar with the tool Charles?
[04:48] <michaelgamble> it tracks all http requests allows you to analyze the data for troubleshooting while doing webdev
[04:48] <trench> schambers: just do sudo apt-get install packageyouwanttoinstall
[04:48] <skorv> in your expert view what may crash networkig service?
[04:48] <schambers> trench: will that install it locally?
[04:48] <schambers> or go out to the net to install it?
[04:48] <trench> schambers: yes
[04:48] <michaelgamble> im wondering if anyone knows of something open source that i can install into ubuntu
[04:48] <michaelgamble> similar to Charles
[04:49] <trench> schambers: it depends on your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[04:49] <michaelgamble> its a web debugging proxy
[04:49] <skorv> ubuntu server 10.04 + bind + dhcp3
[04:49] <schambers> yeah, right now i cant get to the net to install it
[04:49] <schambers> how can i tell aptitude to search the cd
[04:49] <hendaus> how can i get jdownloader on ubuntu natty?
[04:49] <schambers> i have the cd in the drive

[05:01] <Guest83473> doesn't boot using usb
[05:01] <witzz> Hi everyone
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> home: then you need to share the resource in windows, support for windows is in ##windows
[05:01] <chaospsychex> what
[05:02] <chaospsychex> you said you installed ubuntu from usb right?
[05:02] <bonjoyee> Guest83473: how did u "install" the iso?
[05:02] <Guest83473> no
[05:02] <Guest83473> in sb
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: how did you transfer the ISO to the USB device?
[05:02] <Guest83473> i create usb boot
[05:02] <chaospsychex> with unetbootin ?
[05:02] <Guest83473> using the app
[05:02] <witzz> How to copy ipa files to ipod 2g?

[05:02] <witzz> Sorry
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: oh, usb-creator
[05:03] <Guest83473> yes
[05:03] <trench> witzz: but use sftp
[05:03] <chaospsychex> witzz are you trying to boot from your ipod to install ubuntu ?
[05:03] <Guest83473> no
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: ok, did you MD5 test the ISO before using it?
[05:03] <witzz> No
[05:03] <Guest83473> I installed with cd
[05:03] <Guest83473> but cdrom doesn't works anymore
[05:03] <witzz> I'm trying copy some progs to it
[05:03] <Guest83473> iso is right
[05:04] <trench> chaospsychex: ipa files is apple apps
[05:04] <bonjoyee> Guest83473: how old/new is your pc? does i support usb boot?
[05:04] <Guest83473> yesd
[05:04] <Guest83473> it has option to boot
[05:04] <bonjoyee> it*
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: did you check the ISO you downloaded before transferring to the USB device?
[05:04] <Guest83473> yes
[05:04] <Guest83473> it works
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: ok what happens when you try to boot?
[05:04] <Guest83473> nothing
[05:04] <chaospsychex> ActionParsnip: i've never understood the whole md5 check thing,what is it and why is it needed?
[05:04] <Guest83473> boot in hd
[05:05] <chaospsychex> so nothing happens when you boot from hd?
[05:05] <trench> Guest83473: it should tell you an option maybe you have to push Esc or something like that to come into the bootmenu
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: its to make sure the image you downloaded is both complete and consistant. TCP does a good job of catching bit errors but it is not perfect
[05:05] <GeekSquid> trench: SHIFT is the new way with grub2
[05:05] <Guest85206> \nick Jocab
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: so MD5 is used to make sure the file is 100% perfect, a bad image will make a bad install
[05:05] <Guest83473> trench: I set usb as 1st boot device
[05:05] <trench> GeekSquid: depends if he got grub or not :P
[05:06] <chaospsychex> what are you trying to do guest?
[05:06] <chaospsychex> install ubuntu from usb onto hd?
[05:06] <Guest83473> yes
[05:06] <chaospsychex> and nothing happens when you select usb
[05:06] <Guest83473> alright
[05:06] <Guest83473> doesn't boot
[05:06] <bonjoyee> Guest83473: see if your bios has an option like F10 or F11...to select the device from which to boot
[05:07] <trench> Guest83473:  check if you have to push anything to get into the boot menu
[05:07] <jocab> heh.. i was trying to change nics.. its been about a decade since i was on irc
[05:07] <ozzloy> i plugged in an external drive and now i can't unmount it.  halp!
[05:07] <Guest83473> mm
[05:07] <Guest83473> i will try it again
[05:07] <trench> ozzloy: because?
[05:07] <Guest83473> D/
[05:07] <chaospsychex> he said he selected boot from usb and nothing happened
[05:07] <chaospsychex> guest
[05:07] <GeekSquid> jocab: welcome to ubuntu support! Is there anything we can help you with, now that you have your nick sorted?
[05:07] <chaospsychex> make the usb with unetbootin
[05:07] <Guest83473> ok
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: sdoes the system say the device isn't bootable, do you just get a black screen?
[05:07] <Guest83473> is in repositorys?
[05:07] <ozzloy> or "Safely Remove Drive" because "Daemon is inhibited"
[05:08] <jocab> nope, I think I'll just listen and learn, thanks
[05:08] <tripelb> ozzloy, maybe you have a places window open referring to that drive. Or are using a file.
[05:08] <Guest83473> just a black screen
[05:08] <chaospsychex> yes its in the repos i think
[05:08] <Guest83473> like trying to boot from usb
[05:08] <Guest83473> but then skip
[05:08] <trench> chaospsychex: happends alot if the computer doesn't go into usb at once
[05:08] <Kiwi__> Hi guys, new to the whole linux idea, is there a command to search for a specific directory?, can I use grep for this?
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: ok then it is booting, you just need the nomodeset boot option
[05:08] <Guest83473> and goes to hd
[05:08] <chaospsychex> nomodeset boot option?
[05:08] <GeekSquid> Kiwi__: the whereis command might help you
[05:08]  * tripelb goes and looks up nomodeset
[05:08] <ozzloy> tripelb, how would i check that?  the only two windows i have open are this terminal and a browser
[05:09] <trench> Kiwi__: find / -name filediryouwanttosearchfor

[05:13] <trench> micah: you have an usbpen or drive you can make an gparted bootdisk?
[05:13] <micah> i do... i have the systemrecuecd on it with gparted... but i get the same result
[05:13] <micah> should i try a straight gparted install?

[05:14] <chaospsychex> micah what result?
[05:14] <panther_> Received the following error: [6.390039] hub 2-0:1.0: Cannot enable port 4.
[05:14] <trench> i just did that yesterday on my moms computer with this http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[05:14] <GeekSquid> toshiba:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:14] <micah> chaospsychex - same thing with sysrescuecd.. no resizing... just format
[05:15] <GeekSquid> micah: are the partitions unmounted? they have to be in order to resize
[05:15] <Danny78_> hi everyone, hope all is well
[05:15] <Jordan_U> micah: What happens when you try to rezise the partitions?
[05:15] <GeekSquid> Danny78_: Good Evening, welcome to ubuntu, can we help you with something?
[05:15] <micah> option is greyed out in gparted... there's some type of exclamation icon near the partition name
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> toshiba: add the medibuntu repo and install vlc gnome-mplayer and w32codecs (I assume 32bit OS) and theres not much you won't be able to play
[05:15] <micah> nothing is mounted
[05:15] <GeekSquid> micah: is this a windows partition?
[05:15] <micah> it is
[05:15] <micah> ntfs

[05:16] <Gartral> GeekSquid, yarg
[05:16] <Danny78_> GeekSquid:  yes, actually, if someone could please help with an inaccessible Windows share (2 computers)
[05:16] <chaospsychex> micah did you convert the disk to a dynamic volume in windows?
[05:16] <GeekSquid> micah: gparted cannot resize the drive until it reads clean, you will have to run a chkdsk in windows twice and reboot before resizing will work
[05:17] <GeekSquid> Gartarl: well yarg ... I trust you got my pounce
[05:17] <Guest83473> if i try to use micro sd with usb adapter
[05:17] <micah> i did not.. i've never had to do that before for ntfs... the installer has allowed me to resize on other hosts.  I'll try chkdisk
[05:17] <Guest83473> can I reformat from tehere?
[05:17] <Danny78_> GeekSquid:  I'm getting a DBus error:  mountpoint already registered
[05:17] <chaospsychex> is there a pandora radio like program available for ubuntu?
[05:17] <trench> Guest83473: why do you want to reinstall in the first place?
[05:17] <Guest83473> because i'm using xfce
[05:18] <Danny78_> GeekSquid:  I can access my music folder, but not my documents
[05:18] <trench> and?
[05:18] <Guest83473> But installed accidentally gnome
[05:18] <Kiwi__> Ok so when I run the find command I get alot of permission denied responces even if using sudo to run from root privlages (sorry if my terms are off im sure you know what i mean) is there a reason for this, does sudo simply give you temporary root privlages or am i missing something?
[05:18] <Guest83473> and since that is unestabble
[05:18] <Guest83473> and kinda slow
[05:18] <azizLIGHTS> ubuntu server can install LAMP from setup?
[05:18] <trench> Guest83473: then just add the startup of xfce in your .xinitrc
[05:19] <GeekSquid> azizLIGHTS: yes it can
[05:19] <Danny78_> I' still here
[05:19] <trench> Guest83473: or do you use the login manager then you can just change it there
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> azizLIGHTS: i believe so, yes. Or you can install it post install
[05:19] <Guest83473> well
[05:19] <Guest83473> apps are mixed
[05:19] <azizLIGHTS> so is that LAMP all latest versions or updates needed
[05:19] <Guest83473> & sometimes nautilus opens
[05:20] <Guest83473> and lotys of weirdstuffs
[05:20] <GeekSquid> Danny78_: please ask your question to the room, be as detailed as possible and write the whole thing on one line
[05:20] <arang> hello, can anyone provide any help with a rom manager for android, I can't get into the android channel
[05:20] <Guest83473> is there any way to purge and let "pure xfce" again?
[05:20] <PardoSandia> some jigaboo deleted my ubuntu install file
[05:20] <PardoSandia> is there a way to recover it from my disk
[05:20] <trench> arang: i would rather use google for that question
[05:20] <GeekSquid> azizLIGHTS: you will still have to update, but yes you will have a complete LAMP stack after installation
[05:20] <izinucs> azizLIGHTS: it's lamp all dialed in for that version of ubuntu.. sometimes there are newer versions of say php or mysql but typically minor.. updates are always done for security items in everything.

[05:21] <GeekSquid> arang: you need to register with nickserv in order to access that room
[05:21] <rww> arang: That's offtopic for this channel, so no. If you mean #android, you need to register with nickserv to enter there.
[05:21] <rww> ubottu: tell arang about register
[05:21] <GeekSquid> !register | arang
[05:21] <arang> GeekSquid: I did, but never received an e-mail to confirm my nick
[05:21] <azizLIGHTS> izinucs: what is "all dialed in"
[05:21] <GeekSquid> rww: I didn't know you could do that
[05:21] <rww> arang: then /join #freenode and ask for help with that
[05:21] <Danny78_> :red2kic:  thanks!
[05:22] <Danny78_> :ubottu:  thanks!
[05:22] <izinucs> azizLIGHTS: sorry for the acronym.. that means the packages have been tested and function correctly
[05:22] <micah> i did not.. i've never had to do that before for ntfs... the installer has allowed me to resize on other hosts.  I'll try chkdisk

[05:24] <GeekSquid> micah: it is a function of ntfs-3g, to keep from messing up ntfs partitions, using chkdsk /f ... the /f is fix that makes windows make the drive able to make the linux partitioner know that it is safe to operate on the drive

[05:26] <chaospsychex> i need help getting flash to work. i clicked 'use this source' for adobe flash player and it says it is installed but when i go to flash in browser it says i need to install plugin?
[05:26] <trench> chaospsychex: what browser?
[05:26] <chaospsychex> firefox
[05:26] <jon__> hello, i need help with setting up subversions
[05:27] <jon__> im on ubuntu
[05:27] <jon__> it worked for awhile, then i see these messages when i svn co or svn update or whatever Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to REPORT  request for '/!svn/vcc/default'
[05:27] <jon__> anyone has any idea?
[05:28] <trench> chaospsychex: what does about:plugins say?
[05:28] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: why not simply copy the latest libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?
[05:28] <red2kic> chaospsychex: ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[05:29] <trench> bonjoyee: and if it's a 64 bit system? :P
[05:29] <rww> trench: then use the 64-bit libflashplayer.so?
[05:29] <bonjoyee> trench: path is the same..just get the "square" preview3
[05:30] <sacarlson> jon__: sounds like a permision thing,  is the svn local or was it from a remote site?
[05:30] <chaospsychex> what?
[05:30] <jon__> sacarlson: local site, i have already chmodded and chowned the svn directory
[05:31] <sacarlson> jon__: so where did the svn originate?
[05:31] <jon__> scarlson: where did the svn originate?
[05:31] <bonjoyee> trench: chaospsychex: check http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html
[05:32] <sacarlson> jon__: you say you changed owner so if that was needed I assume you moved it
[05:32] <jon__> sacarlson: Hmm I dont know if you consider this remote, but I'm working on my windows desktop and sshing to my production server
[05:33] <jon__> sacarlson: I did svnadmin create svn, then updated the vhosts, it displays properly from the browser, but not from the svn client
[05:34] <izinucs> does tar work with zip files too?
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> trench: theres a repo for 64bit flash if you want it?
[05:34] <chaospsychex> it won't let me extract it to the folder. how do i get temp sudo so i can do this from the archive manager
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: you will use unzip or unp
[05:34] <chaospsychex> where the KEY will be on the top right
[05:34] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: thnks
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> unp rocks
[05:34] <ilpa> Is there a Daemon Manager GUI for Ubuntu?
[05:34] <ilpa> Arch seems to have one
[05:35] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: extract to your home...then move with sudo
[05:35] <jon__> sacarlson: anything you think i could try?
[05:35] <sacarlson> jon__: I"m stale at svn I use git now,
[05:35] <chaospsychex> bonjoyee: whats the command to copy and move a file?
[05:35] <jon__> sacarlson: oo. but any direction to point me to?
[05:35] <_vaibhav_> hibernate is not working on my 10.04 machine.. I do regular updates.. what may be the problem??
[05:36] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: mv
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: could use: sudo -i   then extract, then run: exit  to end the (i)nteractive sudo :)
[05:37] <Guest83473> how to create a new /home on /???
[05:37] <sacarlson> jon__: well I guess I would try create a new dir and co it again,  maybe it's a router problem?  I'm not clear what is where
[05:37] <IdleOne> !separatehome | Guest83473
[05:38] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: any luck?
[05:38] <_vaibhav_> I tried to make swap partition again, but -ve.. when I hibernate my PC instead of resume it boots up as fresh...
[05:38] <Danny78_> What do I do if my terminal doesn't recognize smbmount command?
[05:39] <chaospsychex> what should the command syntax be?>
[05:39] <chaospsychex> sudo mv FILE -t TARGET?
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: sudo apt-get install samba smbclient
[05:40] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: mv file.so  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[05:41] <chaospsychex> awesome,it worked
[05:41] <Danny78_> I tried:  "sudo smbmount //gaia/Documents /gaiadocs -o username=Danny, password=*********
[05:41] <chaospsychex> on my other ubuntu pc i got a prompt inside firefox and installed it within firefox,weird
[05:41] <Danny78_> and it said sudo: smbmount: command not found
[05:41] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: 32bit or 64?
[05:42] <chaospsychex> 64
[05:42] <chaospsychex> all 32 stuff works on a 64 bit os?
[05:42] <KM0201> not necessarily
[05:43] <Danny78_> I'll try mount instead
[05:43] <bonjoyee> chaospsychex: with ia32-libs installed ..i think so!
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: you'll be using a 64bit wrapper called nspluginwrapper for plugins unless yuo use the native 64bit plugins
[05:43] <KM0201> bonjoyee: probably still a stretch to say "everything 32bit works on 64bit"
[05:44] <bonjoyee> KM0201: hmm...probably so
[05:44] <izinucs> I'm having an issue cp'ing a file from one directory to another.. cp /dir1/dir2/<file name> /dir1/dir2/dir3/ .. where am I going wrong?
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> some people even install ia32-libs then use the 32bit firefox in 64bit ;)
[05:44] <Kiwi__> how do you open a file with root privlages from the gui/
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: cp -r folder dest
[05:44] <Kiwi__> ?*
[05:45] <jon__> sacarlson: i tried that already but it still didnt work. it shouldnt be a router problem because i tried checking out from localhost
[05:45] <Danny78_> sudo mount -t smbfs //gaia/Documents /gaiadocs -o username=Danny,password=***        mount: mount point /gaiadocs does not exist...  am I doing something wrong?
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> Kiwi__: gksudo gedit /path/to/file  you can run it in an ALT+F2 dialogue
[05:45] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: if i was gonna use a 64bit OS, i'd be a little perturbed at going to the effort to make 32bit stuff wo9rk on it... it's kinda like installing Linux, then the first thing you ask is, "how do I get x, y, and z to run in Wine"
[05:46] <younder> Danny swapped arguments?
[05:46] <bonjoyee> KM0201: so true..+1:)
[05:46] <sacarlson> jon__: so it won't let you checkout a new copy?
[05:46] <GeekSquid> Danny78_: this is a bit of confusion ... mount likes the term cifs ... replace smbfs with cifs
[05:46] <Danny78_> younder:  which ones?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: depends on needs and hardware, its fairly easy imho
[05:46] <younder> Danny first and second
[05:46] <KM0201> ya
[05:46] <Danny78_> GeekSquid:   ok, will try
[05:46] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: nope.. sudo cp -r /var/www/Drupal/themes/<filename> /var/www/Drupal/themes/newDirectory/
[05:46] <exotherm> I have 10.04 installed from a disk. worked great and could go on bbc iplayer with firefox until I let it update. now I'm getting an error complaining that I dont have javascript enabled which is BS. any ideas?
[05:47] <jon__> sacarlson: yup it wont
[05:47] <jon__> sacarlson: but i can see the respository if i visit it in the browser
[05:47] <sacarlson> what it the user that svn on the host runs on?
[05:47] <jon__> sacarlson: svn: access to '/!svn/vcc/default' forbidden
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: try: gksudo nautilus   and use gui to copy, close nautilus after the copy is done
[05:48] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: I'm ssh'd into my server with no gui.. would like to use cp .. perhaps -rf ?
[05:48] <sacarlson> jon__: and what are the owner of the files?  do the owner and user on host match?
[05:48] <Danny78_> even with cifs and changing the order of 1 and 2 it still says mount point does not exist.  I am able to access my music folder however.
[05:48] <bonjoyee> Danny78_: does /gaiadocs exist?
[05:49] <jon__> sacarlson: the svn directory is owned by apache
[05:49] <jon__> sacarlson: my httpd server runs with the user apache
[05:49] <Danny78_> bonjoyee:  do I need to create it first then I'm guessing?
[05:49] <sacarlson> jon__: apache on ubuntu is www-data
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: what is the -f switch doing?
[05:49] <jon__> sacarlson: I know, but I'm using directadmin, so they install their own httpd
[05:49] <bonjoyee> Danny78_: ofcourse u have to..
[05:49] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: used to "force" but it didn't work
[05:50] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: this should be a "no brainer".. but I'm tired
[05:50] <jon__> sacarlson: phpinfo also confirms this (User/Group: apache(1001)/1001)
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: does the destination folder exist? I suggest you use tab to complete the folders so you know its good
[05:50] <chaospsychex> would it be possible to implement a plugin such as flash into a video card driver?
[05:51] <Danny78_> ok, I got mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //gaia/Documents,
[05:51] <Danny78_>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error  (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)  In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try       dmesg | tail  or so
[05:51] <sacarlson> jon__:  look at the logs and see what is running svn and what the problem is at the host
[05:52] <jon__> sacarlson: which logs?
[05:52] <bonjoyee> Danny78_: theres another package u need to install...for smbfs..wait
[05:52] <bonjoyee> !smbfs
[05:52] <Danny78_> bonjoyee:  stupid question--  what's the ! for?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: what message do you get when you try the copy?
[05:53] <bonjoyee> Danny78_: ignore that...failed command
[05:53] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: tab worked fine.. still having errors.. /var/www/Drupal/themes/blumasters/': Is a directory
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: it causes ubottu to output a factoid if she is programmed to respond to the word
[05:53] <sacarlson> jon__: the ones that have changed last like /var/log/apache /var/log/auth.log
[05:54] <jon__> sacarlson: okay, sec
[05:54] <bonjoyee> Danny78_: open a package manager and search for smbfs..
[05:54] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: got it.. the file name was blumasters.etc.etc.etc and the directory was bluemasters not blumasters
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: cp -a source dest  seems to work
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: d'oh!
[05:54] <Danny78_> bonjoyee:  I was able to install command line, thanks
[05:55] <izinucs> ActionParsnip: DOH! .. banging my head on the desk now :)
[05:55] <sacarlson> jon__: it's time for my bike ride,  I'm loosing light,  chat you all later
[05:55]  * GeekSquid wipes up the blood on izinucs desk, and hands izinucs a bandage
[05:56] <JackyAlcine> Lol
[05:56]  * izinucs is appriciative of GeekSquid and his help
[05:56] <JackyAlcine> Hey guys.
[05:56] <Danny78_> Now I get:  sudo mount -t cifs //gaia/Documents /gaidocs -o username=Danny,password=*** mount error: can not change directory into mount target /gaidocs
[05:56] <Danny78_> oh,my error
[05:57] <Danny78_> misspelled gaia...  but now it's hanging
[05:58] <GeekSquid> Danny78_: that seems better open another terminal and cd into the share
[05:58] <Danny78_> connection time out
[05:58] <GeekSquid> oh
[05:58] <jon__> sacarlson: nothing interesting in the logs that i can find D:
[05:58] <kinks> ever since I installed ubuntu 10.10 (I was running 10.04 earlier and did a fresh install), sounds seem... tinny? I removed pulse audio completely and I am now just using ALSA, and I have an AV Chaintech 710 sound card.
[05:59] <Danny78_> :GeekSquid:  I cd and it's empty
[05:59] <kinks> what can I try changing to resolve this? I'm using the same equalizer settings as before with my mp3 player (and playing the same music)
[06:00] <Harmonic> Hello
[06:00] <GeekSquid> kinks: I have found that upgrading to a later version of alsa from ppa on newer releases seems to help the tinnyness
[06:00] <kinks> GeekSquid: what's ppa?
[06:00] <GeekSquid> !ppa
[06:00] <kinks> ah, thanks.
[06:00] <Harmonic> If I go to Places > Connect to server. Then connect to a windows machine to share files - Does this rely on the Samba service?
[06:00]  * [gnubie] waves
[06:01] <GeekSquid> Harmonic: yes
[06:01] <Danny78_> the witching hour is upon...  some of us
[06:01] <kinks> GeekSquid: it's actually making my head hurt, hopefully this helps :s
[06:01] <Harmonic> When did Samba start coming pre-installed with ubuntu?
[06:01] <chaospsychex> Danny_78 ?
[06:02] <Danny78_> chaospsychex:  midnight here
[06:02] <AgentBlair> hi, for some reason 64-bit version 10.04 of ubuntu won't load any wireless drivers right after install so i can't connect to the internet
[06:02] <GeekSquid> Danny78_: at least you're central!
[06:02] <AgentBlair> this wasnt an issue with 32-bit
[06:02] <kinks> GeekSquid: I just need alsa-lib, correct?
[06:02] <Harmonic> geeksquad : Thanks. Do you know when samba started coming build in to ubuntu?
[06:02] <chaospsychex> AgentBlair: hook up a ethernet cable
[06:02] <AgentBlair> u kno
[06:02] <Danny78_> GeekSquid:  yeah, but I wish I was back in mountain
[06:02] <AgentBlair> i was thinking just that
[06:02] <chaospsychex> LOL
[06:02] <AgentBlair> but i can't get to it at the moment
[06:03] <KM0201> AgentBlair: whats your wireless device?
[06:03] <kinks> GeekSquid: nevermind, I see that it includes all of them.
[06:03] <AgentBlair> it's some HP pavalon wireless device i can't remember let me look it up
[06:03] <nit-wit> is gparted the partitioner for kubuntu
[06:03] <kinks> ..or.. not
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> AgentBlair: sudo lshw -C network   will tell you what it is
[06:03] <Danny78_> I switched back from cifs to smbfs and still the same "mount error (110):  Connection timed out"  It's like Windows isn't listening
[06:04] <AgentBlair> broadcom, BCM4311
[06:04] <GeekSquid> Danny78_: can you ping the win machine?
[06:04] <azizLIGHTS> how much space needed for ubuntu server ?
[06:05] <azizLIGHTS> hdd space
[06:05] <KM0201> AgentBlair: you probably need b43 for that device would be my guess
[06:05] <psycho_oreos> azizLIGHTS, depends on what you want on the sever
[06:05] <KM0201> !broadcom | AgentBlair
[06:05] <AgentBlair> thanks
[06:05] <azizLIGHTS> psycho_oreos: LAMP
[06:05] <[gnubie]> is it really necessary to have the console-kit-daemon running on ubuntu maverick as a server without x?
[06:05] <psycho_oreos> azizLIGHTS, probably about a gig at minimum
[06:05] <Danny78_> GeekSquid:  yeah, it pings fine
[06:06] <KM0201> AgentBlair: 10.xx, you can probably install the STA driver if you follow the instructin son that page(w/o internet access)
[06:06] <AgentBlair> yeah ok
[06:06] <psycho_oreos> I would advise against the use of wl/STA driver for bcm4311.. I'd only use it if b43 doesn't work
[06:06] <KM0201> AgentBlair: u still have the 64bit live cd?
[06:06] <samudayaN> how to change apt repository to cd drive
[06:06] <GeekSquid> [gnubie]: I believe that is required for your console to work properly
[06:07] <AgentBlair> i do
[06:07] <psycho_oreos> samudayaN, add cds using apt-cd I'd say and then disabling any http repos
[06:07] <AgentBlair> i took it out but i can put it back in
[06:07] <KM0201> AgentBlair: well there you go.. :)
[06:07] <GeekSquid> samudayaN: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out everything but the CD, which should be at the top
[06:07] <psycho_oreos> s/apt-cd/apt-cdrom
[06:07] <timothytimbers> Is ubuntu responsible for stopping me from using function pointers, hooks, and those sorts of nifty code tricks to control a program
[06:08] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: why is that so? other distros don't have a console-kit-daemon running but the console is ok.. why in ubuntu there is this console-kit-daemon running and uses up some memory
[06:09] <AgentBlair> seems it can't find the package
[06:09] <nawk> for many versions (32/64-bit) of adobe flash, under various Ubuntu releases, I find that once it is in full-screen mode.  Things are choppy, and are slow
[06:09] <AgentBlair> ill check the CD
[06:09] <nawk> is that normal, and is that the status quo
[06:09] <KM0201> AgentBlair: system/admin/synaptic   click settings/repositories  then on the first tab, check "CD" at the bottom.. close it.. and click reload   you'll get a bunch of errors, but don't worry about it.
[06:10] <KM0201> AgentBlair: then use synaptic, and install those packages one at a time in the order they are on the walkthrough there.
[06:10] <GeekSquid> [gnubie]: every distro is different, and console-kit-deamon uses less than 0.09% of my ram ... actually it shows 0.0 on ps aux, so is it really a big deal
[06:11] <AgentBlair> ok
[06:12] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: mine is 0.5% memory per process (or is this a thread?)
[06:12] <aeonik> Hello! Can I ask a quick question about dual booting and Windows Recovery?
[06:12] <Crash1hd> Can anyone tell me if dd and ddrescue are the same program? also how long does dd take to do 100gb drive?
[06:13] <Blue1> Crash1hd: a long time
[06:13] <Danny78_> wow..  it works!
[06:13] <AgentBlair> wants me to insert the disc, when ive done so
[06:13] <AgentBlair> eh ill try this in the morning with direct cable, thanks again
[06:13] <Crash1hd> Blue1: can it be paused?
[06:13] <Danny78_> now I need to make these shares permanent after any shutdown-bootup
[06:13] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, ddrescue is based on a similar dd code base but with added features for recovering from a dying disk (usually)
[06:13] <KM0201> AgentBlair: is the disk mounted?
[06:13] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, no
[06:13] <AgentBlair> haha opps
[06:14] <Blue1> Crash1hd: not dd afaik
[06:14] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: and i have 64 of them
[06:14] <Crash1hd> psycho_oreos: ahh ok thanks :)
[06:14] <AgentBlair> wait yeah it is
[06:14] <Blue1> Crash1hd: you might consider rsync
[06:14] <Crash1hd> Is there a way to set dd to be verbose?
[06:14] <aeonik> So, if I perform a Windows7 Recovery (restore my laptop to factory state) it's not going to mess with my Ubuntu partition will it?
[06:14] <KM0201> AgentBlair: hm. that should work.
[06:14] <Crash1hd> Blue1: rsync will be faster wont it
[06:14] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, you can kill dd with a certain signal to make it show the progress but it only shows it once and for every time you issue that same kill signal
[06:15] <GeekSquid> [gnubie]: console-kit-daemon ... each process stores information about a single user session seems you have had alot of different terminals open, running different things, this is why there are so many
[06:15] <Blue1> Crash1hd: duuno that it would be any faster, but you could do it in chunks
[06:15] <AgentBlair> it's a dvd maybe that's it?
[06:15] <psycho_oreos> and dd works differently from rsync, rsync copies only visible files, dd deals with raw nodes and will replicate a complete image from the souce
[06:15] <KM0201> AgentBlair: um, don't think so.
[06:15] <psycho_oreos> s/souce/source/
[06:15] <Crash1hd> psycho_oreos: hmm the kill signal kills the process though right
[06:16] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, not always, some programs will act in a certain way when killed with a specific signal, such as some daemons with -sigint will cause it to reload conf files
[06:16] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: i'm the only one who is logged in to this system and it's via ssh
[06:16] <Crash1hd> psycho_oreos: ahh so if there is only 4gb used on the 100gb drive then rsync would be alot faster
[06:16] <Crash1hd> meaning it would continue
[06:17] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, yes but if you wanted to also copy stuff from MBR (usually when trying to migrate one hard disk data completely to another and make the target disk bootable) you need dd for instance to at least dump the MBR
[06:17] <Blue1> psycho_oreos: hmm I've had no issues with rsync and hidden files
[06:17] <GeekSquid> [gnubie]: and apache, and mysql, and dbus, and whatever else, not just physical users, but also system users, or anything that is in /etc/passwd ... including nobody
[06:18] <Crash1hd> I installed root / onto an ext4 drive and I am having trouble mounting it on windows when I need to access it and wanted to format it to ext3 so I created another partition and have been running dd for almost 5hrs now
[06:18] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, also dd is very handy for parsing the images to forensic utilities when needing to undelete files as dd dumps blocks for blocks unlike rsync which goes by pointers and therefore visible files
[06:18] <psycho_oreos> Blue1, read what I said above about deleted files :)
[06:18] <me__w> how do i share files with another lapi having win7 in it throungh a lan wire?????????
[06:18] <Blue1> Crash1hd: you can't mount a linux fs onto windows at least I have never done it
[06:18] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: ok then. so, it's being used by whoever is in my /etc/passwd..
[06:19] <Crash1hd> theres 3rd party programs that allow it to work for ext3 just not ext4
[06:19] <Crash1hd> so I am trying to downgrade the ext
[06:19] <bobthemilkman> Blue1: Yeah you can. It just depends on the fs.
[06:19] <Danny78_> that's one small step for Dan, one giant leap for newbkind
[06:19] <Blue1> psycho_oreos: ymmv
[06:19] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, you need to make it ext3 first and under windows there's ext2ifs which treats ext3 as ext2 (without journaling support)
[06:19] <psycho_oreos> Blue1, ymmv?
[06:19] <Crash1hd> right which is what I am trying to do
[06:19] <Crash1hd> but dd is taking for ever
[06:19] <nit-wit> so wait is the native partitioner in Kubuntu, that channel is silent
[06:19] <nit-wit> *what
[06:19] <Blue1> psycho_oreos: your mileage may vary -- yes it's a logical instead of physical but it works fine
[06:20] <Crash1hd> I am almost thinking of scrapping it and just reinstalling ubuntu
[06:20] <Crash1hd> its a fresh install
[06:20] <bobthemilkman> Crash1hd: Yeah, dding the device might take quite a while.... It's probably be easier to copy the data back and forth.
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> nit-wit: kparted
[06:20] <psycho_oreos> Blue1, not when one wants to dump even the MBR which rsync isn't quite capable :)
[06:20] <Crash1hd> no customization
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> !info kparted
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[06:20] <aeonik> I have  dual boot with Ubuntu 64bit and Windows7 Professional, if I perform a Windows7 Recovery  (restore my laptop to factory state) will mess with my Ubuntu partition?
[06:21] <delroy_> anyone had any experience with sangoma cards?
[06:21] <bobthemilkman> If your device can write at 10MBps and is 500GB big, that'll take 50,000 seconds.
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> !info qtparted
[06:21] <bobthemilkman> Or about 10 hours?
[06:21] <Blue1> psycho_oreos: I never need to do that, so I just use rsync.  If I need to restore data, hey I can do that with a live cd if need be
[06:21] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, you could rsync the entire thing and then use dd to dump the MBR which contains grub, then use the dumped image to write back which should work
[06:21] <bobthemilkman> aeonik: Probably.
[06:21] <Danny78_> Thanks to everyone for all your help...  installing updates and may be back later  peace
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> !info partitionmanager
[06:21] <Crash1hd> hmm I have /boot on a different partition
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> yeah, that is qt based and is similar to gparted
[06:22] <bobthemilkman> You could always just copy the data and manually install GRUB. That's what I would do.
[06:22] <Blue1> bobthemilkman: yeah easy to do
[06:22] <bobthemilkman> Or just start from scratch. You said it's a fresh install, right?
[06:22] <Crash1hd> yes
[06:22] <nit-wit> ActionParsnip, thanks :)
[06:22] <psycho_oreos> Blue1, yeah you can do it with almost any bootable linux medium of your choice but like I said, I'm sure rsync isn't able to see files without pointers (i.e. user's deleted files and blocks that are usually waiting to be overwritten) and hidden parts like MBR which is where grub sits
[06:22] <bobthemilkman> Yeah, so why not do a fresh install? It'll take 15 minutes instead of 10 hours.
[06:23] <aeonik> thanks bobthemilkman, I will just back everything up then!
[06:23] <Blue1> psycho_oreos: correct, but I don't need it too
[06:23] <Crash1hd> the only customization I have done is added my accounts to empathy and custom menu bar and video driver
[06:23] <bobthemilkman> aeonik: What you should do is create a bootable linux flash drive.
[06:23] <Crash1hd> grub is on the /boot partition though right
[06:23] <GeekSquid> [gnubie]: if you want to read all about they have been having a discussion about it on launchpad going on 2 years, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/148454
[06:24] <psycho_oreos> Blue1, not as yet but in Crash1hd's case, should Crash1hd use rsync without copying the MBR cannot boot after the process is completed
[06:24] <bobthemilkman> aef: Actually, when you do the factory reset, it'll probably completely wipe everything.
[06:24] <Blue1> psycho_oreos: why copy the mbr, when you can just re-install grub.
[06:24] <bobthemilkman> But I think I did it one time and it only touched the windows partitions. It'll depend on the factory resetting program.
[06:24] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, yes and no, portions of it sits inside /boot/grub but the bootloader itself is hidden in the MBR
[06:25] <Crash1hd> psycho_oreos: ok which could be on /
[06:25] <psycho_oreos> Blue1, unless Crash1hd knows how to install grub bootloader, dd would probably be more times saving
[06:25] <Blue1> psycho_oreos: here's the recipe:  http://pkill-9.com/?p=314
[06:25] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, no its not even on /
[06:25] <Crash1hd> I am just trying to clone /
[06:25] <Crash1hd> and then clone it back after formatting it
[06:25] <Blue1> Crash1hd: if that is your goal then dd is best
[06:26] <bobthemilkman> If I were you, I'd just pop in a thumb drive and do "for i in $(ls / | grep -v dev | grep -v proc | grep -v sys | grep -v mnt | grep -v media); do cp -rfa /media/USBDRIVE; done
[06:26] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: thanks for the link.. ;)
[06:27] <nit-wit> ActionParsnip, what is the graphic ie gksudo in ubuntu command in Kubuntu
[06:27] <bobthemilkman> Then run all your windows repair things, and then reinstall linux, and then do a cp -vrf /dev/USBDRIVE/* /
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> Blue1, I'm not saying its not possible, but a two lines of dd, one to dump and the other to write can really shorten the amount of steps as required from that link
[06:27] <bobthemilkman> aeonik: But that's just what I would do. There's 1000x other ways of doing it. :)
[06:27] <GeekSquid> I'm Out, Goodnight ubuntuers, goodmorning to those on the western coast of europe and africa ... some of us need sleeep
[06:28] <bobthemilkman> Oh woops!
[06:28] <aeonik> bobthemilkman: I have never tried that, I will give it a shot. First I need to get myself a sufficiently big drive!
[06:28] <bobthemilkman> "for i in $(ls / | grep -v dev | grep -v proc | grep -v sys | grep -v mnt | grep -v media); do cp -rfa /$i /media/USBDRIVE/; done"
[06:28] <bobthemilkman> Would be the correct one.
[06:28] <bobthemilkman> You could always use a different partition instead of a USB drive, or another computer via ssh, or something like that.
[06:29] <Crash1hd> thanks all for the help
[06:29] <bobthemilkman> Yeah, honestly if it were me, I wouldn't be using a USB drive, but actually sshing it to another machine.
[06:29] <psycho_oreos> sshfs ;)
[06:29] <bobthemilkman> Yes, sshfs is your friend. :)
[06:29] <psycho_oreos> well it makes life heck alot easier as compared to meddling with scp and then using pipes on the same line for instance
[06:29] <Syria> Hi, can I list the ip addresses for computers on my network?
[06:30] <psycho_oreos> Syria, no, not passively
[06:30] <bobthemilkman> Also, there's some method for reinstalling everything from aptitude, but I forgot how to do it off the top of my head.  At any rate, you could save your /home and /etc folders, and then just install ubuntu, and then copy the /home and /etc back in.
[06:30] <Syria> psycho_oreos I can do this on windows using norton so is there in program that I can use?
[06:30] <psycho_oreos> not passively and not unless if you're not a router/gateway in which all devices on your network must pass through
[06:31] <me__w> how do i share folder with win 7
[06:31] <psycho_oreos> me__w, you might want to ask that in ##windows
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> Syria: you can install clamav-daemon
[06:31] <r00t4rd3d> me__w, with samba
[06:31] <psycho_oreos> Syria, well I don't know how norton works
[06:31] <shawnboy> Can someone give me a simplified, practical explanation of fakeroot? I've read, but don't really grasp it.
[06:32] <bobthemilkman> Actually, win7 isn't 100% intercompatible with samba any more...
[06:32] <bobthemilkman> There's something special you have to do now...
[06:32] <Syria> ActionParsnip Thnx, I will install it now.
[06:32] <me__w> psycho_oreos: i was asking sharing with win7 and i having ubuntu
[06:32] <r00t4rd3d> psycho_oreos, how would people in windows know how to share a folder with ubuntu ?
[06:32] <me__w> r00t4rd3d: but how????
[06:32] <Syria> psycho_oreos I want to shutdown a remote machine.
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Syria: is not needed unless yuo are running a file or mail server though
[06:32] <Doinkle> Hi.  Is it possible to install flash 10.2 on 32bit 10.10?  I ask because from what ive read it imples to be for x64.  Thanks.
[06:32] <shawnboy> bobthemilkman: I wasn't aware of that. What do you have to do special in Win 7 to share?
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Syria: clamav-daemon is a realtime scanner of files
[06:33] <bobthemilkman> I don't remember the specifics.... I think you might have to do mount .... -o user=Guest....
[06:33] <bobthemilkman> Or something like that....
[06:33] <psycho_oreos> r00t4rd3d, he said: <me__w> how do i share folder with win 7 ... so how has that got to do with ubuntu when he did not include the words ubuntu in the query?
[06:33] <Syria> ActionParsnip Can I install it this way? sudo apt-get install clamav-daemon
[06:34] <bobthemilkman> It is implied that he wants to do it with an ubuntu box.
[06:34] <shawnboy> bobthemilkman: huh. I didn't know that.
[06:34] <bobthemilkman> shawnboy: Did it work?
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> Syria: sure https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV
[06:34] <psycho_oreos> me__w, you're not being specific either.. for ubuntu to see windows shares, for ubuntu to share directories/etc with windows, ???
[06:34] <shawnboy> bobthemilkman: I am not trying it, just caught your reply and was curious.
[06:34] <me__w> psycho_oreos: i was asking abt both
[06:34] <psycho_oreos> well I really didn't see it being implied, then again
[06:34] <r00t4rd3d> me__w, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/
[06:35] <Crash1hd> haha ok so I jumped out a little too soon, I ran sudo kill -USR1 pid and it came back with dd at 95gb copied at 10.5Mb/s on a 102GB drive (how much longer will it take again?)
[06:35] <shawnboy> bobthemilkman: I'm trying to figure out what fakeroot is all about.
[06:35] <sunit> hello
[06:35] <timothytimbers> I have a second question. Would it be possible to build a computer that runs on steam (water) and get a simple prototype to run ubuntu? i can look at the ubuntu requirments and all that \
[06:35] <bobthemilkman> You shouldn't require fakeroot.
[06:35] <psycho_oreos> me__w, well bobthemilkman said something about one requiring extra steps to make win7 connect to ubuntu shares
[06:36] <bobthemilkman> Fakeroot is to make programs think they have root.  This is kind of strange and not very frequently required...
[06:36] <sunit> I am using ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[06:36] <bobthemilkman> (Usually it's better to just use root!)
[06:36] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, it doesn't tell you, you can only guess by judging the speed at which its going and how much spaces are left
[06:36] <Crash1hd> does that mean if my math is right 10.5*1024/60 is how much time per gb
[06:36] <shawnboy> bobthemilkman: I just installed pure-ftpd and pureadmin. Setting up, pureadmin has option for "use fakeroot" & says it's recommended. I was just curious.
[06:37] <timothytimbers> we can work out our hardware contract later.
[06:37] <bobthemilkman> You shouldn't need those. You shouldn't need anything aside from openssh, which should be installed in ubuntu by default
[06:37] <sunit> when I am trying : openbravo@vvecles:-$ sudo su
[06:37] <Crash1hd> haha I was going to cancel it and theres like 5Gb left lol
[06:37] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, I'd say 10.5*1000/60 for GB per minutes
[06:38] <Crash1hd> why 1000 and not 1024?
[06:38] <sunit> I am getting openbravo is not a sudoers file. This incident will be reported
[06:38] <ajwill> hi all I have a quick question
[06:38] <shawnboy> bobthemilkman: when you say "just use root" do you mean sudo?
[06:38] <bobthemilkman> Yeah
[06:38] <bobthemilkman> Or if that fails, sudo -s, then the command.
[06:38] <bobthemilkman> If you have root on the box, you should never require fakeroot, unless there's some obscure reason.
[06:39] <eremyja> sunit: edit the /etc/sudoers file
[06:39] <ajwill> I've mainly used firefox for the past while, but there are some error's it causes my computer, I do however love chrome, only problem is, my flash player in chrome is extremely laggy, help?
[06:39] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, its not denoted as binary measurement but rather Si
[06:39] <Crash1hd> ahh right
[06:39] <kaushal> hi
[06:39] <kaushal> is there a way to calculate CIDR from Netmask ?
[06:39] <sunit> eremyja : but It's a CLI server.
[06:39] <bobthemilkman> Try mount -o nfs 192.168.X.X /mnt -o user=Guest
[06:39] <psycho_oreos> Crash1hd, actually I could be wrong but have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
[06:40] <bobthemilkman> Or just sudo mount -o nfs 192.168.X.X /mnt -o user=Guest
[06:40] <eremyja> sunit: it will have examples, i think the part you want is towrads the end
[06:40] <eremyja> sunit: use nano /etc/sudoers
[06:40] <bobthemilkman> You might not need the -o user=Guest, but I think there was something strange where Win7 requires *some* value in the user field, even if it's a nonexisting user.
[06:40] <Doinkle> ajwill, is flash full screen slow in other browsers too?
[06:40] <shawnboy> bobthemilkman: thanks for the info. That's the kind of info I was looking for.
[06:40] <bobthemilkman> Oh woops!
[06:40] <bobthemilkman> I mean sudo mount -t nfs, not -o nfs.
[06:41] <sunit> eremyja : to edit I have to use sudo nano /etc/sudoers
[06:41] <Doinkle> ajwill, message me.
[06:41] <ajwill> Doinkle, nope, in firefox I have flash running fine, I can do full screen or just windowed, but in chrome even just watching a youtube (non fullscreen) is laggy and horrible
[06:41] <psycho_oreos> sunit, I wouldn't do that, normally one is supposed to use visudo
[06:41] <Crash1hd> thanks again :)
[06:41] <Doinkle> ajwill, i just found a fix for my own flash problem, msg me and ill paste what i tried..and worked for me
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> sunit: use:  export EDITOR=nano; sudo visudo
[06:42] <eremyja> psycho_oreos: thats right, forgot about that.. oops :/
[06:43] <bobthemilkman> sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.X.X /mnt -o user=Guest.  If you want to mount more than every now and then, you might want to modify your /etc/fstab file to automount it, and create a folder like /media/network and share it there.
[06:43] <Jamesuperfun> Hello. Would anyone need help with anything?
[06:43] <bobthemilkman> Although I believe /mnt/network is the appropriate subfolder to use.
[06:43] <babaji> i want  to learn what actualy going on when a software instals n ubuntu
[06:43] <me__w> can anyone pls tell me how to share folder my ubuntu with win 7
[06:43] <psycho_oreos> eremyja, well now you know :) afaik sudoers file has some sort of checksum, most likely MD5 to prevent file being tampered
[06:43] <bobthemilkman> Anyway, google the terms, "mount" "nfs" "smbfs" and you should be able to do it.
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> me__w: install samba and you can use nautilus to share folder
[06:44] <babaji> and none of my drives are getting open , they are getting open in vlc player when i click on them?
[06:44] <me__w> ActionParsnip: how to use nautilus
[06:44] <Jamesuperfun> well
[06:44] <Jamesuperfun> lets see, me_w
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> me__w: its the default file manager in Ubuntu
[06:44] <eremyja> Psycho_oreos: yeah, learned that the hard way unfortunately..  surprised i forgot so soon!
[06:45] <babaji> i want  to learn what actualy going on when a software instals n ubuntu
[06:45] <me__w> ActionParsnip: but how do i use it,from terminal????/
[06:45] <babaji> and none of my drives are getting open , they are getting open in vlc player when i click on them?
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> me__w: in a server you'll need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[06:45] <psycho_oreos> babaji, normally the software goes into packages and can be varied from distro to distro, under ubuntu those software packages usually have the file extension .deb
[06:45] <chalcedony> hi ActionParsnip :)
[06:45] <eremyja> me__w: no gui at all?
[06:45] <Jamesuperfun> I would see it as the easiest way(if you just dont want to go through a lot of folders) to buy a USB memory stick. 2GB models are avalible for about $5 if you look.
[06:45] <psycho_oreos> eremyja, time to make a mental note ;)
[06:46] <babaji> psycho_oreos: can i get documentation or some kind of book about it??
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> hi chalcedony
[06:46] <eremyja> me__w: if thats the case then you dont have/cant use nautilus
[06:47] <psycho_oreos> babaji, you might be interested in looking into DEB package management HOWTO on internet
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> eremyja: s/he went
[06:47] <eremyja> actionparsnip: yeah, just noticed...
[06:48] <babaji> psycho_oreos: thanks man, and also i am unable to open any of my hard disk drives, by default when i click on them they get open in vlc player!!
[06:48] <chalcedony> ActionParsnip, or anyone.. my husband can't find how to turn down his bass in ubuntu 10.10 .. does he need to convert it to alsa?
[06:49] <psycho_oreos> babaji, something is messed up there, it could be the file manager you are using I think
[06:49] <babaji> Ppsycho_oreos: sorry for telling man......i don't know whther u r m or f. sorry for that
[06:49] <nit-wit> ActionParsnip, can I open a dialogue with you for a question
[06:49] <babaji> psycho_oreos: so how can i make work it back to normal.
[06:50] <psycho_oreos> babaji, that doesn't matter really
[06:50] <babaji> psycho_oreos: :)
[06:50] <psycho_oreos> babaji, I'm not sure exactly how :) I don't use nautilus (default ubuntu/gnome file manager)
[06:51] <babaji> psycho_oreos: so how can i remove nautalius.
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> babaji, I wouldn't do that :)
[06:52] <wsx> ？？？
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> !cn| wsx
[06:52] <wsx> 可以打字？
[06:52] <babaji> psycho_oreos so is there any way to make it work proper?
[06:53] <psycho_oreos> wsx, not in here, this channel is for English only
[06:53] <wsx> oh god!
[06:53] <psycho_oreos> babaji, I'd look into something like file associations for example
[06:54] <psycho_oreos> wsx, join in either #ubuntu-cn, #ubuntu-tw or #ubuntu-hk
[06:55] <eremyja> babaji, try uninstalling vlc? might correct associations.. then u could reinstall
[06:56] <bonjoyee> babaji: just delete .gnome2 .gconf .config .local folders from home, logout and login again..that should reset to the default ubuntu settings
[06:56] <babaji> eremyja: ya that might work, let me try it  up
[06:57] <babaji> bonjoyee: trying it
[06:57] <sunit> ActionParsnip: when I tried with export EDITOR=nano; sudo visudo
[06:59] <sunit> I was asked for password and I got the same error as openbravo is not the sudoer file
[06:59] <bobthemilkman> sunit: You might need to relogin before it takes effect.
[06:59] <babaji> eremyja:thanks for ur help, it worked. :) :)
[07:00] <sunit> ok
[07:00] <xtc__> Hi
[07:01] <xtc__> good morning :)
[07:01] <babaji> bonjoyee:can i change my nautalius file manager to other file managers?
[07:01] <eremyja> babaji, glad to be of assistance
[07:01] <Jamesuperfun> hello
[07:01] <wsx> hello every one
[07:01] <Jamesuperfun> hello
[07:01] <psycho_oreos> sunit, hmm I'd try `sudo export EDITOR=nano && visudo'
[07:01] <Jamesuperfun> Anyone need helping fix something that ISNT terminal related?
[07:02] <wsx> Here is where ?

[07:05] <MeatMcBadass> Can anyone tell me how to get my network icon back on my task bar?
[07:06] <psycho_oreos> babaji, you could try holding shift, select the file that needs to be permanently deleted and hit the delete button on you keyboard
[07:07] <psycho_oreos> MeatMcBadass, hmm you might want to try right clicking on the panel and click on add new item, from there check to see if network manager or nm-applet, etc is available from the list
[07:07] <psycho_oreos> babaji, s/you/your/
[07:08] <judgen> howdy
[07:08] <MeatMcBadass> Yeah, neither is there:?
[07:08] <babaji> psycho_oreos: after deleting the file it does go to trash can instead gets directly deleted!!
[07:08] <psycho_oreos> MeatMcBadass, it might not be add new item, but something similar
[07:08] <judgen> what is the common sollutions to /dev/fb0 failed
[07:08] <psycho_oreos> babaji, even when holding shift key?
[07:09] <MeatMcBadass> I have add new pannel properties delete and add to pannel
[07:09] <eremyja> meatmcbadass: quoting bonjoyee: 'just delete .gnome2 .gconf .config .local folders from home, logout and login again..that should reset to the default ubuntu settings' just a possibility
[07:09]  * korben greets all
[07:09] <babaji> psycho_oreos: ya

[07:10] <Jamesuperfun> Wireless wont work
[07:11] <psycho_oreos> !ask| Jamesuperfun
[07:11] <r00t4rd3d> Jamesuperfun, wireless chipset ?
[07:11] <eremyja> meatmcbadass: (but listen to psycho_oreos first, ive never gotten to work that way before tho...)
[07:11] <Jamesuperfun> The prop drivers are in use, but wireless is still 'disabled'.
[07:11] <MeatMcBadass> ubottu, you are the man
[07:11] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, which driver are you using?
[07:11] <Jamesuperfun> lol

[07:12] <r00t4rd3d> Jamesuperfun, is it a pci or usb wireless card ?
[07:12] <Jamesuperfun> ok

[07:17] <abe> Hello everybody, how to update the grub menu in order to see the OS name in other hard-disk? I am using 10.10? Please help
[07:17] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, hmm hard to diagnose when you're using broadcom's proprietary driver, it might be acpi issue
[07:17] <r00t4rd3d> Jamesuperfun, in a terminal sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[07:17] <Jamesuperfun> ok then
[07:18] <psycho_oreos> !grub2| abe
[07:18] <r00t4rd3d> Jamesuperfun, have you installed that already ?
[07:18] <Jamesuperfun> yup
[07:18] <Jamesuperfun> its fully up-to-date
[07:19] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, pastebin your `dmesg' output
[07:19] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[07:19] <r00t4rd3d> Jamesuperfun, try the b43 driver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers
[07:19] <israfil> hello, when i try to compile a program i get an error concerning QGLWidget. I use Kubuntu Hardy Heron. What have i to install?
[07:20] <r00t4rd3d> sta is broadcoms driver and b43 is the open source one. People have different luck with each.
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> exit

[07:20] <abe> ubottu: I was using 10.04 in my second HDD, and 10.10 in first one. After 10.04 crashed, I have installed Windows on it. But the grub menu is not updated. It shows old entries in boot menu. i.e. of 10.10 and 10.04
[07:20] <Jamesuperfun> ok ill try
[07:20] <r00t4rd3d> Jamesuperfun, whats rfkill list say ?
[07:20] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, you'll need to unload wl first prior to using b43 and to prevent wl from loading you'll need to blacklist it
[07:20] <FishFace> Heh. I am doing a Broadcom BCM4306 as we speak :)
[07:21] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[07:21] <abe> ubottu: So, how to make it show windows entry in grub 2 menu? Just updating the grub will work?
[07:21] <Jamesuperfun> lol i fel like a total n00b in this
[07:22] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, for some reason that output of dmesg isn't complete
[07:22] <Philo> Hilarious
[07:22] <Jamesuperfun> ya
[07:22] <psycho_oreos> abe, you'll need to edit the config file as per ubottu's link
[07:22] <Jamesuperfun> i posted the whole terminal window
[07:23] <Jamesuperfun> it didnt seem to fit i had other commands you gave me and they dissapeared
[07:23] <abe> psycho_oreos: ok
[07:23] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, I think there's more than that for some reason, do this `sudo aptitude install pastebinit && dmesg| pastebinit -'
[07:24] <eremyja> jamesuperfun, you could try piping ur commands then reading the file
[07:24] <abe>  psycho_oreos: I will try it and let you know. Have a nice time!
[07:24] <abe> :)
[07:25] <Jamesuperfun> ok it gave me a pastebin link
[07:25] <psycho_oreos> abe, good luck :)
[07:25] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, paste me that pastebin link :)
[07:25] <eremyja> or that.. psycho_oreos, im starting to think ur to good... :P
[07:25] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[07:25] <psycho_oreos> eremyja, my method is less time consuming and more direct :)
[07:25] <battlehands> I downloaded a youtube video downloaded from the ubuntu software center.  It is not displayed in my applications drop down menu.  Do I need to activate it?  If not, how can I access it.
[07:25] <Jamesuperfun> http://pastebin.com/BMuHSR1j
[07:25] <psycho_oreos> eremyja, I'm not that good yet :p much to learn
[07:26] <Jamesuperfun> maybe we should try and fix this later? I have like 2 mins
[07:27] <bluegoon> Hey guys, is there a way to monitor bandwidth usage over an interface? (3G device)
[07:27] <spymouth> Hello. I'm trying to make a 'live usb' rather than using a dvd. I'm using usb-creator-gtk in ubuntu 10.04 but when I select my iso(linux mint debian) it does not appear. When I select an ubuntu iso it will appear. Any ideas?
[07:27] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, hmm well I suppose you could try ask again later when you have more time I suppose
[07:27] <sugoruyo> bluegoon: there probably are more than a few of those, what exactly do you want to do?
[07:28] <Jamesuperfun> ok thanks
[07:28] <Jamesuperfun> does it look hopeful? I can use a ethernet cable, but its not too easy
[07:28] <psycho_oreos> spymouth, try using unetbootin instead
[07:29] <psycho_oreos> Jamesuperfun, wl driver is not the best choice, and the support for that specific chipset via b43 (community derived) is slowly maturing
[07:30] <Jordan_U> spymouth: Ubuntu's Live USB creator only works with Ubuntu images. Try unetbootin.
[07:30] <bluegoon> sugoruyo, hey man, Ive got a 5 gig cap and wish to monitor my usage
[07:31] <spymouth> Thanks for the fast reply. I've just installed unetbootin and I'm trying it now.
[07:31] <eremyja> bluegoon, 3g tethering/mobile?
[07:32] <Syria> Why i can't change the folder permession? failed to change mode of `uploads' to 0000 (---------)
[07:32] <psycho_oreos> bluegoon, how much detail do you need for data usage monitoring? for starters there's gkrellm which monitors per interface and generates a daily, weekly and monthly tables for both upload and download on that interface
[07:33] <psycho_oreos> Syria, maybe you don't have ownership to that file/directory
[07:33] <bluegoon> psycho_oreos, that sounds good man, I just need a data usage monitor thats it
[07:33]  * eremyja is tired and saying stupid things..time to go! good night!
[07:33] <Syria> psycho_oreos Actually the folder uploads was not existed, wordpress did not create it automatically as usual. thank you
[07:34] <psycho_oreos> nite eremyja
[07:34] <psycho_oreos> bluegoon, fair enough, enjoy :)
[07:34] <shawnboy> Anyone have success installing ftp server? I can't get pure-ftpd and pureadmin to work
[07:34] <psycho_oreos> Syria, there you go
[07:35] <Guest88842> try vsftp @shawnboy
[07:36] <blink> is there a guide on installing GTK+ and themes?
[07:36] <bluegoon> Thanks dude, im sorted :)
[07:36] <cricketeer> I am currently logged onto and using Windows Vista with a working wireless connection. I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 alongside Vista on my computer. I cannot connect to wired or wireless connections in Ubuntu. My wired card is a Broadcom Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet, and my wireless card is a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. I understand these drivers need to be downloaded and...
[07:36] <bluegoon> GKrellM ftw
[07:36] <cricketeer> ...installed onto Ubuntu, which can be done via Additional Drivers under Administration. Naturally, I can't download these drivers because I have no way to connect to the internet in Ubuntu. How can I install these drivers onto Ubuntu (if that is in fact what I need to do)?
[07:37] <psycho_oreos> bluegoon, there maybe some complications with using it, such as for example if you're using the same interface for local LAN traffic, gkrellm cannot distinguish the differences
[07:38] <bluegoon> psycho_oreos, No lan traffic, just a 3G dongle, I have the interface up as ppp0
[07:39] <psycho_oreos> bluegoon, ahh that should be all good then, and also provided that you don't plug that dongle anywhere else too :) I have wireless broadband (3G) connected to a router and I connect using ethernet. gkrellm collects statistics from data going to 3G and other computers within the network :)
[07:40] <bluegoon> Nice :)
[07:40] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, hmm do you happen to have some other form of network connection?
[07:40] <cricketeer> I have no way at all to access the internet in Ubuntu.
[07:41] <mysteriousdarren> specifics?
[07:41] <shawnboy> Guest88842:  i'll lokok at vsftp
[07:41] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, that's going to be quite difficult, normally broadcom wired should be supported but then again.. that dell wireless could be anything so I need something like `lspci -nnk' output
[07:42] <battlehands> I downloaded a youtube video downloaded from the ubuntu software center.  It is not displayed in my applications drop down menu.  Do I need to activate it?  If not, how can I access it.
[07:42] <cricketeer> Ah...how can I provide that?
[07:43] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, by booting into linux.. and because you don't have internet access, you will need to copy and paste the output into a file in which windows can access (its only ASCII text)
[07:44] <cricketeer> Okay, so in Terminal I should type in "lspci -nnk"?
[07:44] <cricketeer> (Sans quotation marks, natch.)
[07:45] <bluegoon> After the USB install of ubuntu 10.10, it seems Windows 7 has gone, how do I modify the grub loader?
[07:45] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, no, without quotes
[07:46] <cricketeer> Yes, exactly.
[07:46] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, yup
[07:46] <cricketeer> And then put the ensuing text into a suitable file and stick it somewhere where I can get to it in Windows.
[07:46] <hellnest> how to fix un-themed application when using root privilege?
[07:47] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, yes but when you're back in windows with internet access, you will need to paste the contents of the file into pastebin and then paste the link to the pastebin into the channel here
[07:47] <Recordable> Anyone got an idea how to make my pen tablet work? I followed the guide on the forums but it's not working
[07:47] <hellnest> already try to run gksu gnome-appearance-properties but still can't change the theme.
[07:47] <bluegoon> Anyone here with an ATI 5850?
[07:47] <bluegoon> Able to download ATI drivers for ubuntu?
[07:47] <cricketeer> Got it, psycho.
[07:47] <cricketeer> I'll be back in a few minutes. Thanks a bunch.
[07:47] <psycho_oreos> bluegoon, hmm you could have a look at grub.cfg, but there might be an easier method, that is to use liveUSB to boot ubuntu into rescue mode and reinstall grub from there
[07:48] <bluegoon> psycho_oreos, will check it out, thanks
[07:49] <bluegoon> Does 10.10 support ATI well?
[07:49] <psycho_oreos> bluegoon, it heavily depends on chipset version
[07:50] <psycho_oreos> ATi's support on linux in general has been flaky
[07:50] <bluegoon> ok
[07:50] <bluegoon> Seems 5xxx series is OK
[07:50] <psycho_oreos> !ati| bluegoon
[07:50] <bluegoon> Cheers thanks
[07:51] <psycho_oreos> nw
[07:51] <abe> psycho_oreos, sudo update-grub2 made everything alright! Thanks for the help! Cheers!
[07:52] <psycho_oreos> abe, there you go :) nw

[07:57] <sonictk> i.e. unable to boot
[07:57] <bluegoon> psycho_oreos, there seems to be a ATI binary driver (?) in the software center
[07:57] <psycho_oreos> bluegoon, I'd use that then, fglrx will give you faster rendering in general and lower CPU overhead usage

[07:58] <cricketeer> ...
[07:58] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, don't paste more than 3 lines because its known as flooding
[07:58] <cricketeer> psycho: Yes, it was an honest mistake. I didn't understand what you meant by pastebin.
[07:58] <psycho_oreos> !pastebin| cricketeer
[07:59] <psycho_oreos> should ask when in doubt :)
[07:59] <cricketeer> Anyway, did the information come through or shall I use pastebin?
[07:59] <Jordan_U> bluegoon: Did you get your problem solved?
[07:59] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, the wireless part came through which I got the bot to give you a link on howto install it
[07:59] <zruty> Is there a way I can connect to my Ubuntu PC using VNC before login ?
[08:00] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20No%20Internet%20access
[08:00] <bluegoon> Jordan_U, hi man, the boot issue
[08:00] <bluegoon> Jordan_U, ?
[08:00] <Jordan_U> bluegoon: Yes.
[08:01] <bluegoon> Jordan_U, still updating Ubuntu, afterwards ill look into finding a gui based boot manager maybe
[08:01] <cricketeer> Okay, let me jot that down and give it a shot. (I'm really learning as I go along here.)
[08:01] <Jordan_U> bluegoon: All you should need to do is run "sudo update-grub" to have an entry for windows added automatically.
[08:01] <bluegoon> Jordan_U, its strange that grub doesnt present options on boot, it just goes straight to ubuntu, though it has been installed on a different hard drive.
[08:01] <cricketeer> I'll come back with results soon. Sorry again for the flooding.
[08:02] <bluegoon> Jordan_U, Thank you, let me try
[08:02] <Jordan_U> bluegoon: You're welcome.
[08:02] <psycho_oreos> cricketeer, make sure to download all necessary files from  that link too before proceeding
[08:02] <cricketeer> Yes, got it.
[08:02] <cricketeer> Here goes nothin'...
[08:04] <bluegoon> Jordan_U, Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic
[08:04] <bluegoon> Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic
[08:04] <bluegoon> Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
[08:04] <[1]sonictk> hi, um I'm just going to go ahead and ask: I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix, after updating the kernel via the update manager like I was prompted, ubuntu now refuses to boot, all I get is a blinking cursor, no terminal, nothing
[08:05] <GutZuWiSSeN> hi .. is it possible to open an .pages (MAC) file on ubuntu? or convert it? any ideas?
[08:05] <[1]sonictk> if I try recovery mode I get to the line [1.583106] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 and then nothing else
[08:06] <Guest88842> \commands
[08:06] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, I'd try getting into grub2 menu (there should be a key for that), edit the kernel line to not have the words `quiet', `splash' and append the words `noacpi'. Then try booting it, you might see stuff on the screen
[08:08] <tommy__> !wireless
[08:08] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: is that basically um editing the grub commands before booting?
[08:08] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, correct
[08:08] <[1]sonictk> there's no "quiet" or "splash" strings in there
[08:09] <desaiu> the guake application doesn't have true transparency anymore, any reason why? it previously did show windows underneath it, now it just hogs space and doesn't let me see anything underneath it
[08:09] <yayoj1> [1]sonictk: would you mind letting people on here know if any success with 10.10 netbook remix?  I was going to install on my new netbook but have been reading about some problems people have been having on blogs.  And then on facebook, a few videos of never ending bugs show as switching applications via side bar or dock.
[08:09] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, the first thing you will see is the various OS/kernel choices, you have to go into edit mode and then you should see I think 4 lines, one of which contains the word `kernel'
[08:09] <yayoj1> sorry not facebook, youtube.
[08:10] <[1]sonictk> @yayoj1: I got it working, but after I updated the kernel via update manager, GRUB works, and I can select my OS to boot, but Ubuntu won't boot for some reason
[08:10] <fishscene> Hello. I'm trying to setup a DHCP server on Ubuntu server and I'm having a WICKID time trying to get it running. syslog says "No subnet declaration for eth0 (10.0.0.10)."
[08:10] <chaospsychex> you have to set the subnet
[08:10] <fishscene> I'm using this as a tutorial: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html
[08:10] <shawnboy> I've looked at vsftpd and pureftpd... I'm getting frustrated. Is there not an ftp server for Linux that is easy to get going?
[08:10] <fishscene> How do I set the subnet?
[08:10] <chaospsychex> 255.255.0.0
[08:10] <chaospsychex> try that
[08:10] <fishscene> ?
[08:11] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: I appended "noacpi" to the boot options but I'm still stuck at
[08:11] <battlehands> I downloaded a youtube video downloaded from the ubuntu software center.  It is not displayed in my applications drop down menu.  Do I need to activate it?  If not, how can I access it.
[08:11] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: 1.583070 ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 when it boots
[08:11] <chaospsychex> theres not a input field where you can choose the subnet?
[08:11] <fishscene> in dhcp.conf?
[08:11] <chaospsychex> yeah check it out
[08:12] <yayoj1> [1]sonictk: I have been told the netbook remix sucks, no matter which version of ubuntu remix you download.  I have known people to just install the desktop version on the netbooks
[08:12] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, hmm I need lot more information than that, maybe pastebin 10 lines prior to that
[08:12] <chaospsychex> probably something like subnet=''
[08:12] <fishscene> Hang on, let me post my dhcp config
[08:12] <chaospsychex> yeah do that
[08:12] <fishscene> Nope, nothing like that in the dhcp conf
[08:12] <chaospsychex> pastebin.org your conf file
[08:12] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: rg, hang on
[08:13] <yayoj1> [1]sonictk: I am still very curios to install and try for myself.
[08:13] <shawnboy> just wondering.
[08:13] <shawnboy> I guess nobody uses ftp servers
[08:13] <fishscene> Do you have the IP address of pastebin? My ISP randomly blocks dns requests.
[08:13] <yayoj1> shawnboy: whats your question about ftp servers?
[08:13] <chaospsychex> i don't
[08:14] <ohzie> Hey guys. How do I do a static IP map in my resolv.conf without NetworkManager overwriting it?
[08:14] <fishscene> chaospsychex: http://pastebin.com/WQccXG4j
[08:14] <psycho_oreos> ohzie, why not just add the static IP map into nm-applet?
[08:14] <chaospsychex> one sec fish
[08:15] <fishscene> NP mate.
[08:16] <ohzie> psycho_oreos: I don't see any global dns configuration in nm-applet. It's all connection-specific.
[08:16] <shawnboy> yayoj1: just looking for one that i can get up and running relatively easily.
[08:16] <ohzie> psycho_oreos: and it's just setting nameservers, not static resolutions.
[08:16] <rww> DarkstarC4: no thanks
[08:16] <shawnboy> tried pure-ftpd. came close, but won't let me login
[08:17] <ohzie> shawnboy: If you're looking for something quick and not painful to set up, don't use FTP at all. Just go with SSH and winscp/filezilla. =D
[08:17] <psycho_oreos> ohzie, well that's true its all connection specific but the only other way I know it is using a dirty hack which makes it only you can edit the file
[08:17] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: typing the output is a bitch... http://pastebin.com/AFFG9Kxc
[08:17] <ohzie> shawnboy: if you need to jail people into their home directories, there are a few how-tos I found on google.
[08:17] <psycho_oreos> and that works on only ext fs
[08:17] <maco> [1]sonictk: language please
[08:18] <[1]sonictk> sorry
[08:18] <ohzie> psycho_oreos: Thank you for trying. :( <3
[08:19] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, hmm bugger, that output isn't any useful either, it could be anything..
[08:19] <[1]sonictk> hmm does ubuntu write its startup boot log to a file or anything that I can grab via Terminal or something
[08:19] <shawnboy> i use scp sometimes but it's a pain when dealing with lots of files within folders. I read the pure-ftpd and pureadmin howto but I still can't login
[08:19] <psycho_oreos> ohzie, the hack works but its very nasty :) done it before way back before networkmanager was even conceived
[08:20] <psycho_oreos> shawnboy, for that you use sshfs
[08:20] <yayoj1> shawnboy: I really got to like gFTP
[08:20] <psycho_oreos> yayoj1, that's a client not a daemon
[08:20] <spicemaster> y0
[08:21] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: thanks, actually I had to reinstall ubuntu previously to get it booting again...but then when I updated the kernel via update manager this happened again. This is actually my 2nd experience with a Linux distro, so is keeping the kernel updated important? or can I just leave it and you know, get work done?
[08:21] <spicemaster> i have ubuntu version 8 can i update it to maverick ?
[08:21] <maco> spicemaster: 8.04 can update to 10.04 (lucid) -- 8.10 can only update to 9.04
[08:21] <kinabalu> ubuntu and me didn't play nice today.  first XGi graphics card woes ... then I installed a GeForce 9500 GT and that also failed miserably :(
[08:22] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, usually updating kernel provides more features usually, or bug fixes, etc.. but it seems as though you're constantly having issues with the newly downloaded and installed kernel which is quite weird
[08:22] <shawnboy> psycho_oreos: I'm interested in sshfs, but FTP is pretty common still and would like to get it working.
[08:22] <tarek> hi
[08:22] <shawnboy> yayoj1: I haven't looked at gFTPd but have tried pureftpd and vsftpd.
[08:23] <shawnboy> I get problems logging in.
[08:23] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: I know, at first I thought maybe it was because I was updating over wifi and the download process was interrupted or something (not sure how ubuntu downloads work, do they verify checksums before installing?) so I tried again, still the same
[08:24] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: hmm is there anything I can do via GRUB to get ubuntu to spit out its bootup log to a file or something
[08:24] <yayoj1> shawnboy: I was gonna suggest vsftpd, it's pretty simple
[08:24] <psycho_oreos> shawnboy, I have at one stage got pureftpd to work without using the pure-admin but it was a pita imo
[08:24] <shawnboy> psycho_oreos: took words out of my mouth about pure-ftpd.
[08:24] <yayoj1> shawnboy: I don't know of to many more for Ubuntu
[08:24] <spicemaster> maco, ohhh i see
[08:25] <sunit> psycho_oreos and eremyja :  sudo export EDITOR=nano && visudo lead to password prompt. Giving password I got : openbravo is not in sudoers file
[08:25] <shawnboy> crap, when I was on Windows I just installed Filezilla server and was done with it.
[08:25] <shawnboy> I thought FTPd and linux would go together like hand and glove.
[08:25] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, hmm I'm not sure if the individually downloaded deb files are checked prior to installing.. as for bootup logs, it usually sits inside the /var/log/ directory, something like dmesg.log
[08:25] <fadli> hi there
[08:25] <shawnboy> proving not to be so easy
[08:25] <sunit> how should I edit the file ?
[08:25] <fadli> any malaysian here
[08:25] <celthunder> shawnboy, there's lots of ftpd's for linux
[08:26] <Myrtti> !my | fadli
[08:26] <psycho_oreos> shawnboy, well you can't really compare windows and linux like that.. they were meant to be targeted for different audiences
[08:26] <[1]sonictk> oh wait. does NOT installing GRUB to the root of the hard drive have anything to do with it? cause I have a OSX install on another partition and had to install GRUB to a different partition instead so that Chameleon bootloader would be the first one to load...
[08:27] <[1]sonictk> oh wait
[08:27] <[1]sonictk> I can't mount my partition from grub huh
[08:27] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, no it shouldn't because you have had unr working, no?
[08:27] <[1]sonictk> I did
[08:27] <shawnboy> psycho_oreos: true, but it's a little irritating to not be able to just get a basic FTPd up and going, then customize as necessary.
[08:27] <[1]sonictk> until I updated the kernel, so I dunno if somehow that screwed it up
[08:27] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, grub has limited set of features, it can't really mount disks afaik
[08:27] <[1]sonictk> cause I guess I'm not supposed to install 2 bootloaders am I :X
[08:27] <shawnboy> celthunder: and they all seem to require obscure steps to setup and get working.
[08:28] <celthunder> shawnboy, don't know what you're doing but vsftpd or proftpd work pretty much out of the box for me
[08:28] <celthunder> even setting up other auth methods doesn't take too long
[08:29] <[1]sonictk> ack. should I just live with reinstalling ubuntu again and not updating the kernel? is that, I don't know safe, etc. I am totally clueless about Linux and Ubuntu apart from the basic Terminal commands.
[08:29] <[1]sonictk> *if it's safe
[08:30] <tommy__> yea shawnboy vsftpd works without much effort
[08:30] <psycho_oreos> shawnboy, there's plenty of other softwares out there that requires one to tinker around a bit to get things to work. Granted that its not easy but think of it as a challenge to contribute in your learning curve
[08:30] <celthunder> [1]sonictk, if its just updateing the kernel that broke don't you have a fallback?
[08:30] <GutZuWiSSeN> hi .. is it possible to open an .pages (MAC) file on ubuntu? or convert it? any ideas?
[08:30] <celthunder> [1]sonictk, boot with that and change the fallback to be your normal kernel
[08:30] <[1]sonictk> @celthunder: what do you mean by fallback?
[08:31] <shawnboy> psycho_oreos: I usually do. I guess tonight I was in mood of just wanting to get something working in 5 minutes ...like pureftpd's website claims.
[08:31] <[1]sonictk> @celthunder: you mean previous kernel version?
[08:31] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, like another kernel inside the grub menu
[08:31] <celthunder> [1]sonictk, yeah when it updates it should add a fallback to the grub menu for your previous kernel
[08:31] <[1]sonictk> @celthunder: yes, I tried that AND its recovery mode as well. same problem
[08:31] <celthunder> so...you sure that the kernel is the problem?
[08:31] <shawnboy> tommy__: I found help page for vsftpd and it looks fairly involved in setting up too. I may still try it if I can't solve pure-ftpd problems.
[08:32] <celthunder> (i didn't see what actually was happening to you came in half way through sorry)
[08:32] <sjuxax> Hello. My MacBook Pro gets all corruptedy when booting from Live USB. I've tried adding nomodeset and radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel boot params, but that doesn't change anything, and it looks like KMS is still enabled. What should I mark on here to make sure that I use a basic video driver that is not going to kill my computer?
[08:32] <psycho_oreos> shawnboy, well that 5-minutes may only just mean for very basic setup
[08:32] <sjuxax> I would prefer to use the real video driver actually if possible, is there some parameter that I need to pass to make it work
[08:32] <[1]sonictk> I don't know FOR SURE, but when I was doing the update manager the 2nd time round I updated everything one by one and this problem only started after I did the security kernel update
[08:34] <shawnboy> psycho_oreos: for now I'd settle for that... ie. access on my LAN.
[08:34] <psycho_oreos> shawnboy, well for remote access one needs to add port forwarding on router imo
[08:35] <psycho_oreos> and then depending on your ISP, not all ISPs allow their customers to run daemons on very low ports
[08:35] <azizLIGHTS> whats the root password upon install, ubuntu server 10.10
[08:35] <psycho_oreos> err low port numbers
[08:35] <shawnboy> psycho_oreos: only for external access, right?
[08:35] <psycho_oreos> azizLIGHTS, there's none, use sudo
[08:35] <malx_poogee_loo> whats up
[08:35] <NeonSaki> http://neonsaki.blogspot.com/ Hey Guys..
[08:35] <azizLIGHTS> you cant login as root locally?
[08:35] <celthunder> azizLIGHTS, no password change it with sudo
[08:35] <NeonSaki> http://neonsaki.blogspot.com/ Hey Guys..
[08:35] <psycho_oreos> shawnboy, no, once you enable port forwarding, both internal and external network can access the server
[08:35] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: actually, out of curiosity, could I ask, if you had this problem and reformatting the partition was not an option, how would you go about troubleshooting the issue?
[08:35] <azizLIGHTS> you can login with a blank password for root locally ?
[08:35] <rww> NeonSaki: don't advertise in here, please.
[08:36] <tommy__> azizLIGHTS: its disabled by default use sudo su
[08:36] <celthunder> azizLIGHTS, no...it's disabled sudo su - and change the pw
[08:36] <shawnboy> i'm getting sleepy. I'll have to solve this ftpd thing another day.
[08:36] <shawnboy> thanks all.
[08:36] <malx_poogee_loo> I have a Kde problem, can anyone help me?
[08:36] <azizLIGHTS> so if i change the password of root using sudo su, can i login as root locally or is it still disabled?
[08:37] <azizLIGHTS> i know i can do sudo, but am curious
[08:37] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, I'd use liveUSB to read the logs and to see if there's any useful information from dmesg logs or any other logs that has their mtime updated. Then I check the rootfs to see if the init scripts are there
[08:37] <rww> !noroot | azizLIGHTS, celthunder
[08:37] <azizLIGHTS> !root
[08:37] <tommy__> rww: nice
[08:38]  * celthunder shrugs i gave myself a root pw and just leave term 3 logged in as root all the time
[08:38] <azizLIGHTS> so whats the point of changing the root pw
[08:38] <fishscene> There is no point.
[08:38] <azizLIGHTS> dont do it?
[08:39] <tommy__> yes don't do it azizLIGHTS
[08:39] <fishscene> Running everything as root is exceedingly dangerous to your system. Just use Sudo to elevate yourself for select tasks.
[08:39] <pvl1> after setting the root passwd is it possible to turn it back?
[08:39] <tommy__> lol @celthunder
[08:39] <azizLIGHTS> ok got it
[08:39] <rww> pvl1: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo , it has instructions for that
[08:39] <celthunder> pvl1, yes
[08:40] <psycho_oreos> there is but its circumstantial.. e.g. vmware configurations don't necessarily honour the use of sudo/gksu/kdesu but instead prefers you to give the root password. That was the case with vmware workstation 6.5
[08:40] <malx_poogee_loo> in KDE, when I try to run programs that have Icons in the system tray( banshee for example ) I get this blank xmessage that, if closed, causes my entire plasma desktop to disappear. What causes this problem? P.s. I'm a noob
[08:40] <pvl1> rww, thanks, you just reminded me to do that on my router box. wouldnt want that open
[08:40] <c0dewiz> hi
[08:40] <celthunder> tommy__, i don't run everything as root just leave it logged in for when i need it
[08:40] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: thanks. uhh when you say liveUSB....can I use the live USB stick with my ubuntu install? But I don't recall seeing an option for it to get me into terminal or anything like that
[08:40] <celthunder> c0dewiz, hi
[08:40] <c0dewiz> how can it be that my eth0 has address 192.168.1.13 while i configured in kde nm applett an address of 192.168.1.11?
[08:41] <pvl1> c0dewiz, reset networking
[08:41] <fishscene> I don't see anything to revert to the old root password
[08:41] <pvl1> malx_poogee_loo, a blank xmessage?
[08:41] <fishscene> I would assume that it would be a security risk to allow reverting to an old password.
[08:41] <celthunder> fishscene edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and take it out?
[08:41] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, well when you run live USB with desktop image iirc you get xorg session, you can just make it run gnome-terminal for instance or switch to a real console via Ctrl+Alt+F{1-6} with Ctrl+Alt+F7 being the Xorg
[08:42] <c0dewiz> it says:
[08:42] <malx_poogee_loo> is just message that has an orange x icon on it
[08:42] <c0dewiz> Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[08:42] <fishscene> Well ok, deleting the password isn't the same as reverting :P
[08:43] <psycho_oreos> no it isn't have a look at other users and notice the !! marks
[08:43] <celthunder> fishscene, the default pw is a commented out pw what's the difference
[08:43] <pvl1> c0dewiz, resset again
[08:43] <malx_poogee_loo> it has no title and the message body is blank. It may also be called a dialogue window\
[08:43] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: wait so you mean I just boot into the live ubuntu image and try mounting my disk from there? oh wait yea what I am saying that's kind of the whole point of a live CD anyway
[08:43] <fishscene> revert means it stores old password. Delete/comment out means the password isn't set.
[08:43] <pvl1> malx_poogee_loo, ok, is it one specific app that cause that or many
[08:44] <c0dewiz> this time the error doesnt appear, but the interface is still on .13
[08:44] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, more or less, there's hardly any difference between liveCD and liveUSB when you have ubuntu running on either. The only difference if anything is the rootfs of the live medium and generally performance variances
[08:45] <malx_poogee_loo> most apps that have have an Icon in the system tray when they open: Banshee, Vlc, etc.
[08:45] <fishscene> I was thinking more on the administration and security practices rather than at the file-level.
[08:45] <pvl1> malx_poogee_loo, go look at your /var/log/syslog file
[08:45] <pvl1> c0dewiz, look at my message
[08:45] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: thank you very much! sorry about that, I really need to slap myself again since I keep a suse liveCD around for that very purpose haha
[08:46] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, you can use any linux liveCD or any distro liveCD/liveUSB. The process is more or less the same once you get to console level, you just need to go through mounting and maybe if anything chrooting
[08:47] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: for now I'm going to just (again) reformat the partition, reinstall ubuntu, and just install everything apart from the kernel updates and see if it  works. if it still dies on boot then I'll look at the logs
[08:47] <[1]sonictk> wait chrooting? that's changing folder permissions right?
[08:47] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, no
[08:47] <psycho_oreos> !chroot| [1]sonictk
[08:47] <[1]sonictk> oh wait thats chmod sorry agh
[08:48] <pvl1> ubottu, networking
[08:49] <pvl1> ubottu | networking
[08:49] <twiztid> hey all any quick resolves on helping ubuntu with opengl in-game?
[08:49] <bonjoyee> !networking | pvl1
[08:50] <chd> anything like jdownloader available on ubuntu?
[08:50] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, I should probably also add that using of any distro's liveCD or liveUSB is within reason. Now that there's even more fancy fs out there not all liveCD/liveUSB distro can support it.. such as using an old ubuntu (7.04) liveCD/liveUSB image to try and mount ext4 fs
[08:50] <[1]sonictk> ok oh
[08:51] <[1]sonictk> I was reading about btrfs and ext4
[08:51] <[1]sonictk> I have no idea about this but for practical use (i.e. netbook-style usage) which would be more suitable?
[08:52] <[1]sonictk> since I keep hearing things like BTRFS IS THE WAY FORWARD and all that
[08:52] <Dresden|afk> Is there an easy way to make a USB stick into a LIVE Unbuntu booting drive?
[08:53] <zetheroo> does anyone have experience with using Moovida in Ubuntu?
[08:53] <tommy__> Dresden|afk: use unetbootin
[08:53] <fishscene> Dresden: The instructions should be right on the Ubuntu ISO download page.
[08:53] <Dresden|afk> ok thanks
[08:54] <psycho_oreos> [1]sonictk, I suppose ymmv. Everyone has their own opinions about which fs is good but not everyone use their fs the same way.. such as storing massive amounts of small text files or storing images of disk dumps, etc
[08:55] <fishscene> zetheroo: Not I
[08:55] <[1]sonictk> @h would be more suitable?
[08:55] <[1]sonictk> [00:52] *** vissible quit (Quit: 暂离)
[08:55] <[1]sonictk> [00:52] <[1]sonictk> since I keep hearing things like BTRFS IS THE WAY FORWARD and all that
[08:56] <zetheroo>  fishscene: shucks
[08:56] <zetheroo> ;)
[08:56] <[1]sonictk> whoops sorry
[08:56] <[1]sonictk> wrong keypress
[08:56] <ryan_languagelab> Hi. apt is set up to automatically check for updates on login. However, I after switching from xubuntu to ubuntu, I am not longer seeing the little icon in the task bar telling me an upgrade is available. How do I get this back?
[08:57] <[1]sonictk> um but what's the main difference between btrfs and ext4 actually? the only thing I gathered from just browsing around was that btrfs has online defrag...which I guess is nice but for most users is it really practical

[08:59] <tomd> hi, anyone know how access to video devices are controlled, such as useing /dev/videoX with multiple applications (video conf and video streaming)?
[08:59] <[1]sonictk> also yay finally back into ubuntu after formatting
[08:59] <daed> is there a way to change scroll wheel speed? googling hasn't helped at all
[09:01] <xtc> hi
[09:01] <fishscene> Greetings
[09:01] <alkisg> I'm trying sudo chown alkisg:disk /dev/sda3 to become the owner of that partition and it works, but after a few seconds it reverts to root:disk, why, and how can I make it permanent?
[09:02] <chd> anything like jdownloader available on ubuntu?
[09:06] <pupuserc1803c> hi
[09:06] <WinstonSmith> chd, have a look at tucan manager
[09:07] <WinstonSmith> chd, its in the repos
[09:09] <rurufusus> anyone know how to definitively disable mouse focus in ubuntu?
[09:10] <blinkyb> "Sound Preferences" dialog doesn't open. why it that?
[09:10] <agnostic> Windows 7 rulez!
[09:10] <rurufusus> so this is the ubuntu IRC
[09:10] <rurufusus> questions, without answers
[09:10] <rurufusus> and people saying windows 7 rules
[09:11] <rurufusus> pathetic
[09:11] <rww> epic troll feeding bro :\
[09:11] <agnostic> I'm sorry. I just checked the nerd-level. It's green ;-)
[09:12] <rww> agnostic: #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better outlet for your OS opinions ;)
[09:13] <chd> I forgot what do do with a .tar.gz
[09:14] <rww> chd: tar -zxf path/to/file.tar.gz
[09:14] <rww> to extract it
[09:14] <chd> ya thats it
[09:16] <anormallu> hi ! i have problem with ubuntu desktop! how can i give some system restore?
[09:17] <chd> sigh, I have a makefile, just make "makefilename" right?
[09:17] <chd> I get a "nothing to be done for 'filename'"
[09:18] <dhanar_10> chd: try with just "make"
[09:18] <fishscene> Has anyone gotten DHCP Server to work in Ubuntu 10.10?
[09:19] <r00t4rd3d> !resetpane | anormallu
[09:19] <r00t4rd3d> !resetpanel | anormallu
[09:19] <anormallu> thx
[09:20] <r00t4rd3d> that will put your desktop back to defaults like when you first installed
[09:20] <fishscene> !dhcpd | fishscene
[09:21] <fishscene> !dhcp | fishscene
[09:22] <r00t4rd3d> fishscene, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html
[09:22] <fishscene> r00trd3d: Yes, I've been using that for the past 2 hours
[09:22] <r00t4rd3d> lol sry
[09:23] <fishscene> No worries. It's like, the only tutorial for Ubuntu 10.10 and it is a fail
[09:23] <r00t4rd3d> and its for ubu server version
[09:23] <bonjoyee> fishscene: where are you stuck?
[09:24] <Gryllida> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/909787 , I had that before and solved by reinstalling some en-*language* package, any ideas on a name similar to that?
[09:24] <fishscene> I was wondering if anyone else had gotten dhcpd working because I have another poor soul scratching his head on this as well.
[09:24] <rww> Gryllida: language-pack-en, language-support-en, locales. I know it's 'locales' that fixes it on Debian, not sure which of the three for Ubuntu.
[09:24] <fishscene> bonjoyee: just a sec
[09:25] <almoxarife> any issues if I chose to move the 'home' folder off the tree to a mounted sd disk?
[09:25] <rww> almoxarife: not if you do it right
[09:25] <rww> !separatehome
[09:25] <almoxarife> rww: thnks, I'll read
[09:25] <fishscene> bonjoyee: http://pastebin.com/pDFP2TsF
[09:26] <fishscene> That's the /var/log/syslog output
[09:27] <bonjoyee> fishscene: those errors are quite self-explanatory..have u added a subnet pool to your dhcp.conf file?
[09:27] <fishscene> bonjoyee: I believe so, yes. Mind if I start a private chat?
[09:27] <bonjoyee> dhcpd.conf*
[09:27] <bonjoyee> np
[09:28] <linux_direction> hi room : )
[09:28] <bonjoyee> fishscene: please pastebin output of "ifconfig -a" and contents of dhcpd.conf
[09:28] <Gryllida> Hey aussie.
[09:29] <Gryllida> linux_direction: what's up?
[09:29] <almoxarife> rww: I just want to move 'home' to another location on the same drive
[09:29] <linux_direction> was looking for stew.
[09:31] <linux_direction> stew, and another user gave me some direction in duplicating my fresh ubu hdd install. for back up purposes. someone suggested i use the dd comand. and stew said Chat Post would be better for me coz it was a little easier.
[09:31] <linux_direction> cp_command would be better.
[09:32] <linux_direction> i had a look at the two. and wanted to ask, why he thought it would be better to use Chat Post_?
[09:33] <linux_direction> aaarrrrr my stupid IRC app. makes words out of the things im saying.
[09:34] <linux_direction> im thinking it is better to use the dd_command coz it mentioned about copying the mbr. where c.p command seems to be just a file and folder copier.
[09:34] <bluegoon> How do I use Twitter with the built in broadcast feature?
[09:35] <fishscene> linux_direction: I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for in the long run, but I use Filezilla to clone drives.
[09:35] <linux_direction> but it seems stew is not here, and i forgot the name of the user that suggested i use dd_command.
[09:36] <linux_direction> Hmmmmm. maybe its what i could use. but just so you're/we're clear.
[09:36] <linux_direction> i am new to linux.
[09:37] <linux_direction> i install ubunutu on my computer. its nice and fresh.
[09:37] <r00t4rd3d> i know with partition magic you can clone hard drives
[09:37] <linux_direction> i thought it be best if i could duplicarte the drive as a back up. before i start twiddling with ubuntu.
[09:37] <fishscene> Yea, filezilla has a kind of "Windows 3.1" gui-feel to it. But it's usually pretty straight forward.
[09:38] <fishscene> Pardon, not Windows 3.1, more like a dos-box feel to it.
[09:38] <linux_direction> and it will copy the mbr thing, and all the hidden files required for it to boot straight up?
[09:38] <r00t4rd3d> yup
[09:38] <fishscene> Yup. Filezilla uses the dd command
[09:39] <linux_direction> hmmm.i don't know what a dos box is yet.
[09:39] <linux_direction> oh. righ.
[09:39] <linux_direction> that sounds like to go then.
[09:39] <linux_direction> is it free?
[09:39] <r00t4rd3d> nope
[09:39] <fishscene> 100% :)
[09:39] <r00t4rd3d> oh
[09:39] <TheMusicGuy> I installed the realtime kernel for use with JACK and such, but I don't know how to use it. I don't get a boot menu, which is what I usually use to boot with the rt kernel, so I'm not sure what to do.
[09:39] <fishscene> wait
[09:40] <fishscene> I totally gave you the wrong name: http://clonezilla.org/
[09:40] <fishscene> Clonezilla*
[09:40] <linux_direction> Cool, if the 100% was to me fishscene : )
[09:40] <linux_direction> ooo. what so you meant clonezilla? not filezilla?
[09:40] <fishscene> Yes, Clonezilla uses the dd command to make an exact (and compressed) image of your drive/partition. It is 100% free
[09:41] <fishscene> yea. Sorry. I become foggy-brained at 2am :(
[09:41] <fishscene> I get my zilla's mixed up.
[09:41] <linux_direction> when you say compressed. is that an option?
[09:41] <linux_direction> hey thats Okay.
[09:41] <fishscene> You might be able to disable the compression, but it does it automatically.
[09:42] <linux_direction> is that Okay when it compresses? i just want an exact replica. i have a spare drive which is exactly the same.
[09:43] <linux_direction> so i figure i just want it to be exacly the same as the fresh install.
[09:43] <romankrv> Hi. I try use in shell command: $ {ls . ; ls ..} > mylist
[09:43] <Ileden> Hi! My WLAN is acting up pretty weird. I dualboot Win7/Ubuntu. My home WLAN works with Win7, but with Ubuntu there's trouble. It has trouble connecting, and when connected gets around 15% packet loss to most of the net, and few % to the router, and may disconnect suddenly. Changing the channel from the router fixes the issue for a while (few hours), but it always comes back. The WLAN works at another network (at work). Any ideas what could be wrong?
[09:43] <linux_direction> compression will change that.
[09:43] <Ileden> Diagnostics so far: The problem does appear with a live USB boot. iwconfig reports normal, and similar output whether the connection is working or has trouble. After help from here (psycho_oreos) I also managed to turn on the "debug" mode of the ath9k kernel module, and recorded dmesg output from the time of connection trouble. The dmesg output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550552/ Any diagnostic help is appreciated!
[09:44] <romankrv> but it not work
[09:44] <linux_direction> but thanks heaps for your suggestion.
[09:44] <linux_direction> i guess i can give it a go.
[09:44] <romankrv> this construction i finded in docs
[09:44] <fishscene> Yea, the compressed image is fine. It just means that, say, HUGE BLOCKS of nothing but 0's won't hog mega amounts of space.
[09:44] <linux_direction> can it be loaded if i boot for a live cd?
[09:45] <linux_direction> oh Okay. that sounds safe enough.
[09:45] <fishscene> Yes, clonezilla is a livecd. You can save and restore images.
[09:45] <linux_direction> oh. it is a live cd of it own?
[09:45] <fishscene> yes
[09:45] <linux_direction> so i would boot up using clonezilla. not my ubu live cd?
[09:45] <r00t4rd3d> so clone your current hd and restore it to you backup one
[09:46] <fishscene> Linux_direction: correct.
[09:46] <sjuxax> Hello. My MacBook Pro gets all corruptedy when booting from Live USB. I've tried adding nomodeset and radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel boot params, but that doesn't change anything, and it looks like KMS is still enabled. What should I mark on here to make sure that I use a basic video driver that is not going to kill my computer?
[09:46] <linux_direction> sheeze. thanks peoples :)
[09:46] <fishscene> NP mate.
[09:46] <linux_direction> )
[09:47] <myrti_> hi how do I make an exact copy of my internal hard drive to my external hard drive?
[09:47] <myrti_> for backup reasons that is
[09:47] <fishscene> I've used clonezilla to successfully backup and restore bootcamp drives on Mac's (something that Apple says is impossible).
[09:47] <linux_direction> Wow. good going fishscene.
[09:48] <fishscene> myrti: Good timing. Although I don't have an answer for you that uses ubuntu, I do recommend clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org/
[09:48] <myrti_> that is from a live cd
[09:48] <myrti_> I was thinking of using dd
[09:48] <jrmcm> how can i create an iso of a dvd
[09:48] <younder> myrti a bit low level
[09:48] <younder> try dump
[09:49] <myrti_> dd?
[09:49] <linux_direction> and can i add to myrti_ question. and not only to an external hdd. but can this also be saved to a Network share?
[09:50] <benito230> hi
[09:50] <fishscene> linux_direction: yes. I know it will work with Microsoft Windows Shares (Not Windows 7, untested with Vista), but server 2003/XP or earlier it will work over the network.
[09:50] <fishscene> Just look for "samba" as one of the places to save your image.
[09:50] <younder> myrti dd copies verbatim sector for sector. You usually want a logical copy.
[09:50] <younder> File by file
[09:51] <jrmcm> What program can i use to create an ISO of a dvd
[09:51] <linux_direction> oh Okay. thats excellent. thanks fishscene. im gunna have some fun tonight. well i hope anyway.
[09:51] <agnostic> Question: Do ubuntu developers get money?
[09:51] <linux_direction> well im outta here.
[09:51] <fishscene> agnostic: Some do.
[09:52] <popey> agnostic: the ones that work do yes
[09:52] <linux_direction> first stop clonezilla : )
[09:52] <linux_direction> thanks fishscene. thanks room.
[09:52] <agnostic> from whom?
[09:52] <linux_direction> bye4now : )
[09:52] <rww> agnostic: their employers
[09:52] <agnostic> * from who?
[09:52] <chibihogoshino> Ileden: try changing your routers encryption
[09:52] <Dev`> i'm using partimage and resized the terminal. now i can't read what it says, how can I refresh the terminal display?
[09:52] <younder> jrmcm, From Ubuntu user mag, i'd say k3b
[09:53] <myrti_> anything wrong with just doing dd if=/dev/sda of /dev/sdc?
[09:53] <agnostic> But it's more like charity, right?
[09:53] <fishscene> agnostic: You'll have to define your scope, because Ubuntu uses stuff that thousands of people have worked on from all over the world.
[09:53] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: I've tried both WPA and WPA2 so there's no choice left.
[09:53] <rww> agnostic: Not really. But, this isn't a support question, try #ubuntu-offtopic.
[09:53] <jrmcm> ok thx younder
[09:54] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: althoug, for temporary diagnostic purposes, I guess I should try WEP too, or leave the network unencrypted.
[09:54] <chibihogoshino> Ileden: is it a fresh install and is the routers firmware up to date ?
[09:54] <chibihogoshino> Ileden: wep is the same as no encryption
[09:54] <shadaloo> hi
[09:54] <shadaloo> using irssi how do I see a network's channel list
[09:54] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: very true
[09:55] <chibihogoshino> Ileden: did you try changing the wifi channel ?
[09:55] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: yes, fresh install, fresh computer (netbook) and firmware should be up to date, haven't check for a while though
[09:55] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: yes, and that seems to fix the problem for a few hours. always comes back
[09:55] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: (that's the really weird part...)
[09:55] <devgruseal> i can't read my console terminal anymore, but it's in the middle of a task. how do I refresh it without halting the process?
[09:55] <Myrtti> shadaloo: in a specific network or in general? /list works, but it may disconnect you from the server as it generates a lot of traffic and may overtake your connection. In freenode /msg alis help list
[09:55] <jrmcm> Younder: is there one that doesnt rely on kubuntu?
[09:56] <jrmcm> I dont need the kde desktop
[09:57] <chibihogoshino> Ileden: reason 1...unspecifiedReason...Client associated but no longer authorized.
[09:57] <chibihogoshino> Ileden: looks like its loosing authentication for some reason
[09:58] <younder> jrmcm, It doesn't rely on KUbuntu merely on Qt . Which will be downloaded as a dependency.
[09:58] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: Hmm, weird. Any ideas how to diagnose further?
[09:59] <jrmcm> Younder: ok i was wondering because i used synaptic and there were 81 packages it needed
[09:59] <chibihogoshino> Ileden: im not to shur about anything else..
[09:59] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: and how would that result in packet loss?
[09:59] <devgruseal> how can i refresh the display of a terminal, without killing its active task?
[10:00] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: or, well, I guess the problem is what causes the packet loss (or connectivity trouble), which then causes also dropped authentication when it gets bad.
[10:01] <chibihogoshino> Ileden: im not shur
[10:01] <younder> jrmcm, Well I am running now on a gome desktop.
[10:02] <younder> gnome
[10:02] <Ileden> chibihogoshino: well, thaks for trying to help anyway!
[10:03] <jrmcm> younder: same here, i'm using the standard ubuntu 10.04
[10:05] <younder> jrmcm, The 'standard' now I expect is 10.10
[10:05] <linux_direction> hi room. fishscene. when you're free. or can anybody tell me which version i need to download? im a bit confused by the clonezilla home/download page.
[10:06] <jrmcm> younder: lol yeah prob. i just havent had time to upgrade lol
[10:06] <younder> jrmcm, but 10.4 is the long standing supported release from canonical, yes.
[10:06] <fishscene> linux_direction: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/clonezilla_live_stable/1.2.6-40/clonezilla-live-1.2.6-40-i686.iso/download
[10:06] <jrmcm> Younder: yup
[10:07] <linux_direction> hey thanks again fishscene. : )
[10:07] <sergei> привет тут русскоговорящие есть
[10:07] <linux_direction> Okay bye4now room : )
[10:07] <devgruseal> how can i refresh the display of a terminal, without killing its active task?
[10:09] <jrmcm> is there a setting in xchat that turns off all the join/leaving messages?
[10:10] <r_p_> Hi everyone, who will help me repair my system? It suddenly stopped booting. The bootscript info is here: https://gist.github.com/9ba7410e832e59ca9170
[10:10] <r_p_> I get a kernel panic with the following message:
[10:10] <r_p_> kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on
[10:10] <r_p_> unknown block(0,0)
[10:10] <fishscene> devgruseal: This is the best I have on that topic: http://lowfatlinux.com/linux-processes.html
[10:10] <DJones> jrmcm: From memory, you can right click on the channel name & enable/disable the join/part messages (it may be in a submenu after right clicking on the channel name)
[10:11] <jrmcm> DJones: thx
[10:11] <jrmcm> that is so much nicer lol
[10:12] <devgruseal> fishscene: partimage is running, the terminal was resized, now its jumbled (have a screenshot if you'd like to see)
[10:13] <fishscene> oy. I have no idea mate. I just passed along what I found out earlier today. :S
[10:14] <juniour> can any one me in virtual box
[10:15] <gobbe> juniour: ask the question
[10:15] <juniour> i am no able to install ubuntu in virtual box
[10:15] <juniour> i am getting reeor
[10:16] <gobbe> juniour: well, telling to error might help us :)
[10:16] <fishscene> juniour: What is the error?
[10:17] <juniour> gobbe this kernal requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686CPU. unable to boot -please use akernal approriate for your cpu
[10:17] <gobbe> juniour: well, you tried to install x64 version but your machine is x86
[10:17] <gobbe> juniour: install 32bit version
[10:18] <juniour> gobbe my machine is 64 bit
[10:19] <gobbe> juniour: what does "uname -a" say?
[10:19] <juniour> gobbe i have to install ubuntu f0r 32 bit
[10:19] <juniour> wait
[10:20] <gobbe> and what is your computers model
[10:20] <juniour> gobbe Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 00:51:09 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[10:20] <gobbe> some of 64bit processors are not able to run 64bit virtualized guests
[10:20] <gobbe> like older intels
[10:21] <linux_direction> hi room. yep im back already. im hav a lil problem in reguards to my downloading of clonezilla. its gunna take 4 hrs. reason being. ive been shaped to 64kbps. so i think i might just have to go with the ubuntu command option.
[10:21] <juniour> gobbe sony vaio VGN-FW53GF
[10:21] <gobbe> juniour: you need to enable hardware virtualization from bios
[10:22] <meco> Is there any reason Totem won't play an mp3 file?
[10:22] <juniour> k
[10:22] <juniour> gobbe then i wiil work
[10:22] <juniour> i dont hav etio download ubuntu for 32 bit
[10:23] <gobbe> juniour: so just enable vt-x/amd-v from bios
[10:23] <juniour> where this option i will  get in bios
[10:23] <juniour> gobbe
[10:23] <juniour> ?
[10:24] <erUSUL> meco: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:24] <erUSUL> !mp3 > meco
[10:24] <gobbe> juniour: it depends from your bios, somewhere should be possibility to check those on
[10:24] <juniour> k
[10:24] <bluegoon> Hey guys, just installed 10.10 via USB stick on a different drive, now I dont see the grub menu when startup, just goes straight to ubuntu
[10:25] <juniour> gobbe y i am getting this error
[10:25] <juniour>  please explain
[10:25] <shadaloo> thank you Myrtti
[10:25] <quodt> hi, i have a question about apt: i like to install ec2-api-tools. unfortunatelly apt gives me an old version. if i check the my mirror i can see a newer version with ~lucid1 in the package name. how can i force apt to install that version? (mirror: http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/e/ec2-api-tools/)
[10:25] <iceroot> quodt: you are using lucid?
[10:25] <quodt> yes
[10:26] <banisterfiend> quodt: leave this channel at once.
[10:26] <evilbug> when i tried booting a 10.10 live cd on an older computer but when loading the try/install menu, the system began displaying many error messages in red. why would this be?
[10:26] <erUSUL> bluegoon: probably grub ended up installed in the wrong disk. using instructions to recover grub after installing windows can help yopu put it in the correct one ( the one that boots first according to bios )
[10:26] <iceroot> quodt: apt-get update && apt-get install ec2-api-tools
[10:26] <erUSUL> !grub2 | bluegoon
[10:26] <iceroot> quodt: that will give you the current version from the repos of your ubuntu-version
[10:26] <quodt> iceroot: this is what i did
[10:26] <juniour> gobbe
[10:26] <juniour> ?
[10:26] <bluegoon> erUSUL, thanks dude
[10:27] <iceroot> quodt: then there is no newer version in the repo
[10:27] <iceroot> quodt: cat /etc/issue  is showing you what ubuntu-version?
[10:27] <quodt> but i can see it in the browser
[10:27] <Sriram> quodt: Best option is to download the deb from the mirror
[10:27] <llutz> quodt: "apt-cache policy ec2-api-tools"

[10:33] <giantpune> hi, i have ubuntu intstalled on 2 different partitions on my pc.  the first time i installed it, i created a swap partition.  the second time i installed it, i did not create a swap partition.  is there some way now i can point the second installation of ubuntu to use the same swap partition as the other installation?
[10:33] <bluegoon_> Hi guys
[10:33] <bluegoon_> Ive moved grub by upgrading it to my Windows hard drive.
[10:33] <bluegoon_> But it still boots straight into Ubuntu
[10:34] <first2none> I'm needing help finding the best linux to support my needs? I am just going to be using it as a teamspeak server so i dont need it to do anything. Any suggestions?
[10:34] <Sriram> first2none: TeamViewer Server?
[10:34] <first2none> No "Teamspeak server"
[10:34] <Sriram> first2none, Oh sorry
[10:34] <first2none> teamspeak.com
[10:34] <first2none> its kewl
[10:35] <first2none> It is a voice chat server
[10:35] <bazhang> first2none, you have ubuntu installed and wish to use teamspeak?
[10:35] <Sriram> first2none, Yes, ubuntu might be nice
[10:36] <first2none> It only has half a gb of memory so I'm wanting a linux that would hardly use any so it can use all be used towards running teamspeak
[10:36] <rethus1> i have installed ubuntu-desktop out of my kubuntu. now i get a question-dialog which Displaymanager to use.
[10:36] <rethus1> which one should i choose?
[10:36] <quodt> iceroot: http://pastebin.com/tK3kChmB
[10:36] <rethus1> does kde run with gdm and gnome run with kdm ?
[10:36] <first2none> I want the linux that uses the least memory
[10:36] <Sriram> rethus1, No, vice- versa
[10:36] <bazhang> first2none, so just polling? or got ubuntu installed
[10:37] <first2none> just polling
[10:37] <first2none> I have ubuntu installed on the computer i'm using now
[10:37] <bazhang> first2none, try ##linux then as this is ubuntu support
[10:37] <rethus1> Siriram: i know which is normaly used.. i need to know if they can use each other DM
[10:37] <first2none> Well is there a server type of ubuntu?
[10:37] <rethus1> bazhang: what you say, can i use gnome with kdm or kde with gnome?
[10:37] <erUSUL> first2none: yes; there is ubuntu-server
[10:37] <erUSUL> !server
[10:38] <bluegoon_> Can you dual boot windows and ubuntu from two different hard drives?
[10:38] <rethus1> i doesn't wan't to switch completly to gnome... only have a try... maybe later i switch completly
[10:38] <bazhang> rethus1, what will be your predominant choice?
[10:38] <first2none> erUSUL: Nice to see you again old friend :P
[10:38] <erUSUL> ;)
[10:38] <rethus1> at this time my productiv-envviroment is kubunut so i use kdem
[10:38] <rethus1> i give a try to gnome... so i think preferd is kdm
[10:38] <iceroot> quodt: hm, seems everything ok
[10:39] <bazhang> rethus1, stick with kdm then, makes no real difference
[10:39] <first2none> erUSUL: Those issues I was having with this linux i couldnt figure out so i just multiboot windows 7 from my external hard drive :P
[10:39] <rethus1> thanks
[10:39] <first2none> erUSUL: Well whenever i wanna game or use Photoshop
[10:39] <erUSUL> first2none: :|
[10:39] <benignbala> Hi, is there a way to set File associations with scripts ?
[10:39] <linux_direction> does anyone have an idea on how much time it will take to do a dd command on a 160g's hdd? im wondering if it might also take four hours?
[10:39] <rethus1> so i even could change it later ? where could i do this in Gnome?
[10:39] <iceroot> linux_direction: depending on the blocksize you set
[10:40] <first2none> erUSUL: After i install ubunter-server edition would u be up for helping me then
[10:40] <iceroot> linux_direction: without a given blocksize 4 hours should be normal
[10:40] <linux_direction> awwww, man. i have to set sizes?
[10:40] <quodt> iceroot: do you know what the ~lucid1 in the package name means?
[10:40] <linux_direction> ohzie: ( thanks iceroot : )
[10:40] <iceroot> quodt: backport for lucid maybe
[10:41] <rethus1> bazhang: so if i use kdm for gnome i couldn't use gdmconfig ?
[10:41] <erUSUL> first2none: this channel never sleeps.- if not me someone will be able to help
[10:41] <bluegoon_> Can you dual boot windows and ubuntu from two different hard drives?
[10:41] <first2none> haha ok
[10:41] <iceroot> quodt: but i dont know exactly
[10:41] <iceroot> bluegoon_: yes
[10:41] <quodt> ice799: aha, that is commented out in my sources.list
[10:41] <bluegoon_> iceroot, would there be a specific way to configure it?
[10:41] <bluegoon_> using grub?
[10:41] <quodt> sorry ice799, i mean iceroot
[10:42] <iceroot> quodt: uncomment it and try apt-get update && apt-get install packagename -s  just to see if it would install it (-s = simulate)
[10:42] <iceroot> bluegoon_: if you first install windows, then ubuntu then nothing special is to do
[10:42] <linux_direction> would not specifying a blocksize, be the safer way for me to do this iceroot? given i am totally new at all this stuff?
[10:42] <yo_rmn> how can I have persistent rooms in Empathy? I cant connect to Gimpnet so I can't ask this question in #empathy
[10:43] <bluegoon_> iceroot, I installed ubuntu on a second hard drive, no it just shoots straight to ubuntu without a grub menu
[10:43] <quodt> iceroot: you'r the man :)

[10:43] <iceroot> linux_direction: if i am correct sudo fdsik -l is showing the blocksize and you tell dd the blocksize with bs=512 (512 is the blocksize)
[10:43] <bluegoon_> iceroot, got ubuntu 10.10 installed
[10:44] <quodt> iceroot: thankyou very much
[10:44] <iceroot> quodt: ok that i was right :)
[10:44] <iceroot> then
[10:44] <quodt> yes
[10:44] <bluegoon_> iceroot, could bios settings have anything to do with grub not showing up?
[10:44] <linux_direction> oh Okay. thanks heaps iceroot. you made that easy for me to understand. : )
[10:44] <iceroot> bluegoon_: yes, if your bios boots from the hdd where grub is not installed
[10:44] <bluegoon_> iceroot, gotcha, thanks
[10:45] <Adman65> I have my root drive on LVM. I want to move my root to an SSD and rebuild boot on that SSD. How can I do that?
[10:45] <iceroot> linux_direction: but by using dd its ALWAYS a good idea to have a backup
[10:46] <iceroot> linux_direction: if you are not using a blocksize dd will copy every single byte instead of a complete block and that is taking much more time
[10:46] <llutz> linux_direction: dd's default blocksize is 512, you don't have to specify it. changing the blocksize to a higher value might increase speed when using dd.
[10:46] <llutz> iceroot: it won't
[10:47] <iceroot> linux_direction: llutz hm ok, i thought 512 is not default
[10:47] <linux_direction> oh Okay. i get that.
[10:47] <llutz> iceroot: dd if=somefile of=newfile count=1         to check
[10:47] <linux_direction> thanks llutz.
[10:47] <iceroot> llutz: yeah i trust you
[10:48] <abhijain> guys in ubuntu 10.10 skype not working for video chat
[10:49] <bluegoon> iceroot, ive tried setting first boot device to hard disk, it did the same thing again
[10:49] <bluegoon> iceroot, just booted straight into ubuntu
[10:49] <linux_direction> and iceroot. referring to when using dd, to have a back up. thats what im trying to do. so are you saying. its better to say for eg. to make a 1st back up using 3party software.
[10:49] <linux_direction> ?
[10:49] <abhijain> is there any body solve issue for video chat in skype?
[10:50] <Cody-[GMT3]> hi all
[10:50] <linux_direction> hi Cody-[GMT3] : )
[10:50] <iceroot> linux_direction: the problem is that with the wrong syntax you can kill all you data using dd, so its a good idea to have a backup from /home (and its a good idea to always make backups not only before using the dd command)
[10:51] <iceroot> bluegoon: no grub comming up?
[10:51] <mae_tae> hello people
[10:51] <iceroot> bluegoon: or better, you dont see grub?
[10:51] <nimrod10> abhijain, what isn't working for skype exactly ?
[10:52] <mae_tae> is it possible to define both public ip and local ip in a zone file of DNS?
[10:52] <zennn> hello all ! this might be a little offtopic, but can anyone tell me what is the source port when doing some ssh ? is it also 22 ?
[10:52] <linux_direction> oh yeah. i understand. i do remember reading that sort of warning when using the dd_command. thanks for your foresight.
[10:52] <nimrod10> zennn, source port is something random above 1024
[10:52] <linux_direction> thanks iceroot.
[10:52] <zennn> thanx nimrod10
[10:54] <llutz> linux_direction: there are btter tools for backups than dd. dd creates "images" which is not always what you want (waisting space)
[10:54] <linux_direction> ooo. im getting a little excited and nervous at the same time. my cd live is up. now its time to start venturing into some deeper water. im glad ive got you all to help me keep my head above the water : )
[10:56] <linux_direction> yeah right llutz. Fishene point me in the direction of clonezilla. but i have been shape to 64kbps and download still has four hours to go. : (
[10:56] <Spasysheep> how do I use the key generated at first login to recover an encrypted home directory?
[10:57] <linux_direction> so i thought. i may as well do the dd. but to be very carefully. and hey if i stuff it up. i lose nothing expect time on initial install. : )
[10:57] <tgywa> How do I know if hyper-v dirver is compiled into my Linux Kernel(2.6.35) ?
[10:57] <Sir_Fawnpug> Greetings, I think I may have found a bit of a usability issue on 10.10 server. When I change eth0 to use static, it will temporarily use the static IP address, but will not stop dhclient, so periodically the IP address will change to one acquired by DHCP
[10:58] <haiyai> help media file won`t mount usb devices
[10:58] <tgywa> I checked 2.6.35-22-server
[10:58] <bluegoon_> iceroot, tried booting with the windows drive, NTLDR is missing
[10:58] <Diverdude> WHen i put in my usb-stick it pops up and i can access it and read it without problems...But it says its read-only...Usually i can write files and create folders etc. to a usb stick. Why does ubutu say its read-only?
[10:59] <linux_direction> but if i pull it of. i have learnt alot. and it all thanks to this room, and the helpers in it. thanks room : )
[10:59] <tgywa> # cat /boot/config-2.6.35-22-server | grep driver
[10:59] <linux_direction> thanks helpers : )
[10:59] <haiyai> can`t mount usb Help please
[11:00] <tgywa> but can't identify which driver belongs to hyper-v multi processessing
[11:00] <Sir_Fawnpug> The method I am using to change the IP address is by editing /etc/network/interfaces to say the following (http://pastebin.com/) and then restarting /etc/init.d/networking.
[11:01] <haiyai> can someone tell me the default permissions of Media file
[11:01] <Sir_Fawnpug> haiyai, do you mean like the /media directory?
[11:02] <Sir_Fawnpug> haiyai, "drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4096 2011-01-03 08:20 media"
[11:02] <Diverdude> WHen i put in my usb-stick it pops up and i can access it and read it without problems...But it says its read-only...Usually i can write files and create folders etc. to a usb stick. Why does ubutu say its read-only?
[11:03] <haiyai> Diverdude I have the same problem
[11:03] <Diverdude> haiyai, its very strange...it used to work just fine
[11:03] <Diverdude> haiyai, and suddently its just read only
[11:04] <haiyai> Diverdude what are your permissions for the media folder
[11:05] <haiyai> Diverdude do a  ls -al | grep media in terminal
[11:05] <haiyai> Sir_Fawnpug thanks
[11:05] <llutz> haiyai: ls -ld /media drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096  5. Jan 10:21 /media
[11:07] <haiyai> for some reason my have changed  to me
[11:07] <haiyai> how can I change them back
[11:08] <p3> hi. I'm having problems setting up a second monitor to Ubuntu 10.10, using nVidia Quadro FX 580 with latest nVidia drivers. Primary monitor via DVI works perfectly, but the second monitor - connected via DisplayPort - is only giving out 640x480 resolution. Native resolution would be 1920x1200. Any ideas?
[11:08] <mae_tae> is it possible to define both public ip and local ip in a zone file?
[11:09] <haiyai> What is the command to change to llutz permissions
[11:10] <linux_direction> llutz. iceroot. i typed in fdisk -l. but any figures that seemed to be relating to blocks are very large figures. the only thing that resembles the block sizes is in the following line.
[11:10] <plokij> haiyai: illutz? chmod changes permissions for files
[11:11] <linux_direction> units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes.
[11:11] <BODMAS> pls can anyone tell me the network security tools on linux??
[11:11] <haiyai> chmod 755?
[11:11] <linux_direction> does this line mean my block size is 512?
[11:12] <kirkous> BODMAS, iptables?
[11:12] <uuu__> ничего не понятно
[11:12] <BODMAS> i need a monitoring tool to monitor my network, but i dont knw any i can use on linu
[11:12] <bazhang> uuu__, #ubuntu-ru
[11:12] <uuu__> ок
[11:12] <uuu__> :)
[11:12] <erUSUL> !info ntop | BODMAS
[11:12] <Diverdude> haiyai, drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 2011-01-05 11:56 media
[11:13] <BODMAS> @kirkous pls tell me more
[11:13] <mae_tae> how do i define in a zone file both public ip and local ip? is this possible?
[11:13] <haiyai> chown: changing ownership of `/media': Operation not permitted
[11:13] <kirkous> iptables is firewall, i tought you want that :)
[11:14] <Diverdude> haiyai, did you manage to solve it+
[11:14] <BODMAS> ok kirkous
[11:14] <haiyai> not yet need to change permissions first
[11:14] <BODMAS> how do i check out the iptables
[11:15] <BODMAS> ?
[11:15] <sresu> How do I set sound to default configurations??
[11:15] <haiyai> chown: changing ownership of `/media': Operation not permitted?
[11:15] <kirkous> man iptables .)
[11:15] <haiyai> why
[11:15] <plokij> BODMAS: if you don't have it installed you won't have any tables set up by default
[11:16] <Myrtti> haiyai: what are your permissions in the first place? if you can't mount usb the problem probably isn't on the access rights of /media
[11:16] <kirkous> try google iptables tutorial, it's quite tricky
[11:16] <DBoyz> hi i have a question here
[11:16] <mae_tae> how do i define in a zone file both public ip and local ip? is this possible?
[11:16] <plokij> !ask | DBoyz
[11:17] <haiyai> My permissions are now to my user and nothing will mount USB Myrtti
[11:17] <linux_direction> i just tried the follow dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc and got a permission denied error. how do i gain the permision to execute the command?
[11:17] <DBoyz> when i tried to use my ubuntu, i get the gnu grub screen instead
[11:17] <haiyai> media file should be root right?
[11:17] <younder> sudo chmod ?
[11:17] <Myrtti> haiyai: could you pastebin what this command outputs: ls -ld /media
[11:17] <DBoyz> please help me with it
[11:17] <plokij> DBoyz: more details, does it not boot?
[11:17] <rjharv> linux_direction: try sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc
[11:17] <linux_direction> is that for me younder?
[11:18] <younder> linux_direction,  yes
[11:18] <linux_direction> Okay thanks younder. thanks rjharv.
[11:18] <rjharv> nps
[11:18] <DBoyz> plokij: it wont boot cuz it shows the gnu grub screen instead and i have no idea what to do next
[11:18] <haiyai> Myrtti                        drwx------   4 morgan morgan 16384 1970-01-01 09:00 media
[11:19] <plokij> DBoyz: any boot options?
[11:19] <DBoyz> plokij: kindly explain? i am new to ubuntu and i rarely use it (currently using W7)
[11:19] <younder> My home directory is encrypted so things get nasty when he system fails. Anyone know a way to handle this?
[11:20] <avanga> can some one hielp me installing tata photon plus usb modem device in my ubuntu1 0.10
[11:20] <avanga> can some one hielp me installing tata photon plus usb modem device in my ubuntu 10.10
[11:20] <plokij> DBoyz: on the grub screen does it show this 'GRUB:/>' or similar or does it show a box and some functions?
[11:20] <Myrtti> haiyai: you can try to change it with "sudo chmod 755 /media"
[11:21] <avanga> can some one hielp me installing tata photon plus usb modem device(olive V-ME101) in my ubuntu 10.10
[11:21] <younder> Myrtti, That is a pretty bad idea security wise
[11:21] <bazhang> avanga, patience please
[11:21] <haiyai> try
[11:22] <haiyai> now
[11:22] <sresu_> !repeat | avanga
[11:22] <Myrtti> younder: that is how it is on my system, without anything mounted
[11:22] <Myrtti> younder: permissions on systems to be mounted are given on mounttime AFAIK
[11:23] <Myrtti> younder: if they don't have permissions themselves
[11:23] <haiyai> Myrtti no change
[11:23] <first2none> lol i'm back eveyrone
[11:23] <younder> Myrtti, My system requires a passwd to access media. And also to boot (bios not dos)
[11:24] <DBoyz> plokij: i am getting message which is something like: "GNU GRUB Version 1.97beta. There is additional text about how TAB reveals commands and such..."
[11:24] <haiyai> now what?
[11:24] <first2none> younder: do you know the pass?
[11:24] <DBoyz> i don't think there are any options
[11:24] <younder> Myrtti, but the it is setup to comply with G3 security
[11:24] <plokij> DBoyz: then i'd say your grub installed is nuked,
[11:24] <plokij> !fixgrub | DBoyz
[11:24] <bluegoon> Hi guys
[11:25] <bluegoon> My workstation boots straight into Ubuntu 10.10 with no Grub loader menu.
[11:25] <first2none> younder: If this is a pass to boot-up and you want to take it off, go into bio's and you can take it off
[11:25] <linux_direction> younder or rjharv. so with the following command... sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc. the /dev/hda part is the reference for the location of the source right. and not the target?
[11:25] <bluegoon> This is after I installed it via USB to a new hard drive.
[11:25] <plokij> bluegoon: hold shift
[11:25] <Myrtti> younder: great, so does my system. still, user permissions for /media shouldn't be what they are on haiyais system.
[11:25] <bluegoon> plokij, the whole time?
[11:25] <plokij> bluegoon: during boot
[11:25] <DBoyz> plokij: what does that mean?
[11:25] <bluegoon> plokij, ok gonna try, thanks.
[11:25] <plokij> DBoyz: it means either your install messed up or grub didn't/can't detect your ubuntu install
[11:26] <DBoyz> damn
[11:26] <first2none> Hmm lol
[11:26] <younder> Myrrti: right on my system they are drwxr-xr-x
[11:26] <younder> or 755
[11:27] <haiyai> no change
[11:27] <younder> sorry for the confusion
[11:27] <haiyai> any ideas
[11:27] <sresu_> avanga: What did you try to install it?
[11:27] <haiyai> please
[11:27] <DBoyz> plokij: i don't have a live cd nor a cd/dvd drive on my pc
[11:27] <plokij> DBoyz: usb#?
[11:27] <DBoyz> yes usb
[11:28] <DBoyz> but what should i do?
[11:28] <plokij> DBoyz: then create a live usb stick
[11:28] <plokij> DBoyz: got another pc?
[11:28] <bluegoon_> plokij, I saw the Grub loader, but Windows 7 (Other drive) was not listed.  When I exlusively boot to it, it sais NTLDR missing?
[11:28] <sresu_> avanga: Right click on Network manager and select 'edit connection"
[11:29] <DBoyz> plokij: no i am using the same pc ubuntu is installed to but i'm currently using windows 7
[11:29] <plokij> bluegoon_: iirc you need to chainload it, but don't quote me on that
[11:29] <avanga> sresu_: done
[11:29] <plokij> DBoyz: didi you use wubi?
[11:29] <sresu_> avanga: Go to mobile broadband
[11:29] <DBoyz> plokij: yes
[11:29] <avanga> sresu_: done
[11:29] <younder> mobile sucks and wireless sucks go cable
[11:30] <plokij> DBoyz: then you boot into mbr then grub, i would just reinstall ubuntu from wubi
[11:30] <sresu_> !tab | avanga
[11:30] <sresu_> Now you will have to setup a mobile broadband for TATA phton + to work
[11:30] <younder> no iterference no moise no hackers
[11:30] <DBoyz> mbr?
[11:30] <sresu_> avanga: is it Huawei EC1261?
[11:30] <plokij> DBoyz: window's boot loader
[11:30] <DBoyz> okay
[11:31] <plokij> DBoyz: btw wubi is known for a lot of bugs that aren't prevalent in the regular install
[11:31] <haiyai> Myrtii any thoughts?
[11:31] <avanga> sresu_: no its olive V-ME101
[11:31] <haiyai> Myrtti any thoughts ?
[11:32] <bluegoon_> My grub doesnt have a menu.lst
[11:32] <sresu_> avanga: Network manager must have detected your device. What does it say?
[11:32] <DBoyz> plokij: i used pendrive linux to extract files from the iso file i downloaded to install ubuntu. i couldn't install with wubi
[11:32] <plokij> bluegoon_: grub2 doesn't have one
[11:32] <bluegoon_> plokij, oh, ok
[11:32] <sresu_> avanga: ... when the window to seup New Mobile Broadband cannection window appears
[11:32] <avanga> sresu_: my devicde is not dtected in the network manager
[11:32] <kaushal> hi
[11:32] <avanga> thats the problem
[11:33] <kaushal> please suggest/guide me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-January/238026.html ?
[11:33] <plokij> DBoyz: but seriously i'd reccommend reinstalling ubuntu using whatever medium you have if you really want ubuntu
[11:33] <linux_direction> will executing the dd_command to duplicate a hdd, lock up my system?
[11:33] <sresu_> avanga: Well, with the new NM, you need not use wvdial
[11:33] <Myrtti> haiyai: not really, no :-(
[11:34] <DBoyz> ok then, so i'll uninstall my ubuntu and download ubuntu 10.10's iso file to be installed
[11:34] <avanga> sresu_: in mycomputer it detects my device as generic multicard
[11:34] <sresu_> avanga: Generic multicard?
[11:34] <avanga> sresu_: yea
[11:34] <sresu_> avanga: You have usbserial or usb-storage?
[11:34] <rjharv> linux_direction: it shouldn't do but the more things you do the longer it will take. Also depend on yuor system, it may act really slow
[11:35] <haiyai> Myrtti thanks anyway
[11:36] <sresu_> avanga: Ubuntu version?
[11:36] <avanga> sresu_, 10.10
[11:36] <younder> Most modern processors have at least 2 cores
[11:36] <sresu_> avanga: <sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch>
[11:36] <linux_direction> rjharv: well i boot from a live cd. executed the command. everything is seems to be frozen. but i can hear the hdd's ticking away.
[11:37] <younder> Mening you are unlikely to run out of processor capasity for most tasks.
[11:37] <younder> And if you do you probaly know why.
[11:37] <sresu_> avanga: After installation, it should recognize TATA Photon+ as a usb modem ...
[11:38] <younder> 3D rendering really benefits from a tesla2 say
[11:38] <avanga> sresu_, The usb-serial driver does not support your Linux version-- error message
[11:39] <sresu_> avanga: I said usb-modeswitch - that gave you this error?
[11:39] <younder> but then if you are doing it you would pabably know that.
[11:39] <avanga> sresu_, yes, tried to install this error came up
[11:40] <younder> The USB interface for ubuntu is pretty iron clad.
[11:40] <linux_direction> rjharv. is there a keyboard sequence i can enter to safely stop the dd_command. and type in fdisk -l. that way i can see if theres been any change on the destination drive?
[11:40] <younder> Youn MANAGED to make it fail!?
[11:41] <sresu_> !info usb-modeswitch
[11:41] <younder> Probably it is something else. Usually permissions.
[11:41] <rjharv> linux_direction: in the shell you're in just ctrl+c you will have to start again though ;) afterwards
[11:41] <sresu_> !info usb-modeswitch-data
[11:41] <sresu_> avanga: ^^
[11:41] <rjharv> linux_direction: its likely to take a loooooooooooooong time especially if you have a large disk
[11:42] <linux_direction> thanks rjharv. thats perfect. i don't mind starting again. especially if it is working.
[11:42] <younder> Ahh, that deamond the one that monitors for installed devices
[11:42] <linux_direction> yeah right rjharv. its 160gbytz.
[11:42] <sresu_> avanga: You should be able to install them and after installation and reboot, NM would detect it right
[11:43] <rjharv> linux_direction: are you glad you dont have 1tb drives now ;)
[11:43] <clarezoe> hi, I'm using testdisk to recover my harddisk, after teh deep search, I got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/550590/, and the result of parted -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/550461/, result of fdisk -lu http://paste.ubuntu.com/550592/. I want to make the /dev/sda2 as the bootable windows 7 partition, and sda5 and sda6 are logical partitions of sda3
[11:43] <linux_direction> most definitely : )
[11:43] <PC> hey guys
[11:43] <PC> you turn my software into hardware ;)
[11:43] <clarezoe> I don't know what to do next to avoid losing my data
[11:43] <PC> stop humping your hardrive then Clarezoe
[11:44] <avanga> sresu_, ubottu  i checked in my ubuntu software center and it shows that they are installed
[11:44] <younder> If you disable it you are more secure but you rise a seriously hobbled system if you don't know what you are doing
[11:44] <bazhang> pc stop that
[11:44] <younder> s/rise/risc/
[11:44] <PC> whats the best way to get porn apart from looking at your mothers on skype
[11:44] <plokij> !ops | PC
[11:45] <linux_direction> damn. rjharv. the ctrl-c didn't work. will it be safe for me to push the pc's reset button?
[11:45] <sresu_> avanga: What did GNOME PPP show up for your device?
[11:45] <younder> linux_direction, depends on your pc. But normally it will just initiate shutdown.
[11:46] <linux_direction> well this PC won't initiate a shut down. it will just reboot/reset the PC.
[11:46] <linux_direction> but in doing this. the info on the source hdd will be intact right?
[11:47] <younder> linux_direction, OK so you ay loose data on the disk cache. sync it first
[11:47] <avanga> sresu_, installing it now
[11:47] <rot13> what can be done if some files in /var/lib/dpkg/info got damaged, removed or garbled? my dpkg does not configure packages like util-linux netbase cron udev and dbus. this prevents me from upgrading or working with any apt like tool. it will leave those packages unconfigured complaining about dependency problems.
[11:47] <sresu_> avanga: insert the device and pastebin the output of <lsusb | grep 12d1>
[11:47] <linux_direction> younder: sync before i hit the reset button?
[11:47] <younder> linux_direction, yes
[11:48] <sresu_> avanga: No need of pastebin, it would be a single line output
[11:48] <linux_direction> younder: i have no control of the PC.
[11:48] <clarezoe> anyone can help? PC, your answer is not very helpful though.
[11:48] <BODMAS> hi
[11:48] <linux_direction> i can't even turn off the num lock light.
[11:49] <quazimodo> guys  where is the modules.conf in ubuntu gone?
[11:49] <younder> linux_direction, you have enough to write text here
[11:49] <linux_direction> hi BODMAS.
[11:49] <younder> linux_direction, what EXACTLY do you mean?
[11:49] <BODMAS> pls i need a tool on linux that i can use to monitor my network
[11:49] <root_> gooch
[11:49] <linux_direction> this is a different machine younder.
[11:49] <avanga> sresu_, Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
[11:49] <avanga> Bus 007 Device 002: ID 201e:2009

[11:49] <avanga> Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
[11:49] <linux_direction> i mean i enter the dd_command.
[11:50] <younder> linux_direction, remote connection?
[11:50] <sresu_> avanga: I asked for pastebin if its not single line
[11:50] <younder> linux_direction, issue a shutdown now if you have the permission.
[11:50] <linux_direction> everything froze. but i hear the hdd's ticking/spinning.
[11:50] <avanga> sresu_,  sorry i don't know about paste bin
[11:50] <avanga> sresu_, new to linux and xchat
[11:50] <BODMAS> maybe a web tool that i can use to monitor, analyse the packets received and sent on my network
[11:51] <linux_direction> younder. i cannot do anything. no mouse. no ctrl-c. no keyboard.
[11:51] <BODMAS> i have a couple of some i use on windows
[11:51] <younder> linux_direction, well I just pull the power and take my chances if you are not doing anythig important
[11:51] <linux_direction> eg. the num lock stays on. when i try turn it off.
[11:51] <BODMAS> but i dont know any for linux
[11:51] <linux_direction> yep. Okay. thanks younder : )
[11:51] <first2none> linux_direction: Hold power button till it shuts off
[11:52] <avanga> sresu_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550593/
[11:52] <linux_direction> Okay thanks first2none.
[11:52] <first2none> np :P
[11:52] <sresu_> avanga: Type this in terminal - <cd /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/> Then 'ls'.Do you see any files in it?
[11:53] <linux_direction> question. does anyone know, how much ram space the dd_command requires to run properly?
[11:53] <first2none> linux_direction do you have a swap partition?
[11:53] <avanga> sresu_, yes should i pastebin the output
[11:54] <sresu_> avanga: Or <sudo gedit /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446>. sudo would promt you for your account password. What does the window show?
[11:54] <sresu_> No, not needed
[11:54] <linux_direction> well only the one thats on the source(fresh ubu install) that im wanting to back up?
[11:54] <linux_direction> its about 1.5gbyts.
[11:55] <mehehheeeh> i hate black people
[11:55] <bazhang> mehehheeeh, wrong channel
[11:55] <linux_direction> and they probably het you bazhang.
[11:55] <avanga> sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550594/
[11:55] <plokij> mehehheeeh: that ain't cool dawg
[11:55] <sresu> avanga: Yes, that's better :)
[11:55] <sresu> avanga: Hold on
[11:56] <linux_direction> do you understand them bazhang?
[11:56] <sresu> avanga: Yours is Huawei
[11:56] <mehehheeeh> i need help from a WHITE person
[11:56] <bazhang> linux_direction, what?
[11:57] <yo_rmn> O Can't change mouse cursor after trying macBuntu :(
[11:57] <first2none> linux_direction: a swap partition is helpful as it helps to maintain your ram sorta i guess you could say
[11:57] <avanga> sresu, but the user manual does show that mine is olive v-ME101
[11:57] <sresu> avanga: Add '140b' w/o quotes to this line - TargetProductList="1001,1406,140c,141b,14ac"
[11:57] <first2none> As you asked how much ram a dd_command uses I assume you are worried about a ram requiremet?
[11:58] <linux_direction> never mind bazhang, not the place for this discussion.
[11:58] <yo_rmn> this is not proper channel for this questions
[11:58] <yo_rmn> ??
[11:58] <bazhang> linux_direction, indeed.
[11:58] <avanga> sresu, it is there in the target procuct list
[11:58] <linux_direction> but let me say this. usually for peace to exist. there must be understaning.
[11:58] <bluegoon_> What is a lost and found folder?
[11:58] <sresu> avanga: No it isn't as per your pastebin. I see 140c not *140b*
[11:59] <sresu> avanga: Oh sorry. Its there
[11:59] <sresu> avanga: One moment
[11:59] <avanga> sresu, ok
[11:59] <linux_direction> and thanks first2none. i ask about the ram requirement. coz im running on 128ram
[12:00] <linux_direction> so i figured. ive just added an extra load on the system with the dd_command.
[12:00] <sresu> avanga: Was your device working earlier?
[12:00] <first2none> Ouch thats low hehe
[12:00] <first2none> Ok this is what happens
[12:01] <yo_rmn> doble contra sencillo que me retan por esto, pero para ayudarme no
[12:01] <avanga> sresu, it worked in windows, but not in ubuntu 10.10
[12:01] <linux_direction> which would explain why i might have only temporarily lost control/function of mouse and keyboard.
[12:01] <sresu> avanga: Go to "cd /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/" and run "ls | grep 12d1"
[12:01] <first2none> linux_direction: If you dont have a swap partition once you reach the max of your ram it will crash, a swap parition switches out program in a way where it is sorta like virtual ram so it makes it if you reach your peak ram then it will use the swap partition instead of crashing
[12:02] <first2none> That is exactly why you have lost control
[12:02] <linux_direction> oh Okay. i see where youre coming from.
[12:02] <sresu> avanga: Do you see anything ending with :1446?
[12:02] <first2none> Well by the way you are explaining your computers behavior i would say you dont as from what i relized is by default it doesnt install a swap partition as i had to do it manualy
[12:02] <quiescens> linux_direction: what command are you trying to run?
[12:02] <linux_direction> so should i have booted the cd. manually created a swapfil or use the existing swap. and then execute the dd_command?
[12:03] <first2none> There is no existing swap or your computer wouldnt freeze up
[12:03] <avanga> sresu, yes
[12:03] <linux_direction> dd_command quiescens.
[12:03] <sresu> avanga: Reboot system
[12:03] <first2none> I'm not on linux atm but idk if you can create a swap partition after you have already installed
[12:04] <avanga> sresu, ok hang on
[12:04] <linux_direction> what do you mean first2none. it is a fresh install i am trying to back up.
[12:04] <linux_direction> the install has a 1.5gbyts swap file.
[12:04] <first2none> hmm
[12:04] <first2none> what are you wanting to backup
[12:04] <quiescens> linux_direction: i don't know what dd_command is
[12:05] <rww> quiescens: it's dd. his client autoreplaces acronyms or something
[12:05] <linux_direction> im new with ubunutu first2none. i have just done a fresh clean install of ubu10.
[12:05] <sresu> avanga: Run <sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446 >
[12:06] <Cradam> hi does any1 here use touchscreen on ubuntu netbook edition
[12:06] <avanga> sresu, yeah rebooted
[12:06] <first2none> Ok go to system>Admin>disk utility i believe
[12:06] <linux_direction> but before i start twiddling around with it i want to back it up. on an exact type/make/model hdd.
[12:06] <sresu> avanga:sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446
[12:06] <first2none> and tell me the partition types
[12:07] <linux_direction> first2none. you mean me?
[12:07] <first2none> yes
[12:07] <linux_direction> i have not hit the reset yet.
[12:07] <blackshirt> hello
[12:07] <rww> !who | first2none, linux_direction
[12:07] <Cradam> hi does any1 here use touchscreen on ubuntu netbook edition
[12:07] <linux_direction> sorry ubottu.
[12:08] <linux_direction> sorry rww.
[12:08] <linux_direction> Okay first2none. i will go hit the reset. Be Right Back
[12:08] <quiescens> linux_direction: to my knowledge DD shouldn't use more than around 3-4mb depending on block size
[12:08] <avanga> sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550598/
[12:08] <quiescens> er
[12:08] <quiescens> dd
[12:09] <sresu> avanga: Strange. Pastebin lsusb
[12:09] <botcity> question is PyQt available for python3.1?
[12:09] <linux_direction> quiescens. i didn't enter a block size. someone mentioned it might default to 512.
[12:09] <linux_direction> and 3 or 4 meg, shouldn't lock up the system.
[12:09] <quiescens> linux_direction: either way, dd should only use about 3-4mb for the duration
[12:09] <avanga> sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550599/
[12:10] <rww> Linux doesn't lock up or crash when it runs out of memory, it just kills off memory-hungry programs.
[12:10] <linux_direction> quiescens. yes. so i think its time to hit reset. : ) thanks guys
[12:10] <quiescens> linux_direction: if dd is causing the system to become unresponsive then it is more likely just saturating the disk and making it hard for anything else to read from the disk
[12:10] <Cradam> and does any1 know where i can find a zipped version of netbook remix
[12:10] <sresu> avanga: Remove and connect the device again. Pastebin lspci and lsusb please
[12:11] <quiescens> linux_direction: or the cpu, or the usb system if you're copying to/from usb
[12:11] <brandon-heat> hi
[12:11] <first2none> linux_direction: This is true but either way not matter what your going to do it will be really helpful to have a swap partition as it will increase performance overall
[12:11] <shai> Hi :) I've setup an ntp server, and had all the other servers point to it... but I don't see anywhere in the logs on the ntp server, that clients are attempting to connect to it. What do I need to setup in ntp.conf to see these connections from the ntp clients?
[12:12] <linux_direction> thanks rww.
[12:12] <trox702> Hi everybody, didn't want to flood the room. Can anyone help with this ssh problem? : http://pastebin.com/u4uk3ShX
[12:12] <linux_direction> quiescens. thanks that all makes sense.
[12:13] <avanga> sresu, removed and plugged in the device again but it doesnt show up in my computer
[12:13] <avanga> sresu, however this is the lspci after doing that http://paste.ubuntu.com/550600/
[12:13] <linux_direction> and first2none. i do understand the benefits of what you are say. thanks again : )
[12:14] <Cradam> hi does any1 here use touchscreen on ubuntu netbook edition
[12:14] <Cradam> and does any1 know where i can find a zipped version of netbook remix
[12:14] <dhruvasagar> Hi, my gnome panels are behaving irratically, I have my lower gnome panel set to autohide, but sometimes (randomly, I am not sure what causes it), it just comes up and stays there, although the system behaves like the panel is in hiding, so mouse clicks even on the panel are actually going behind to the browser! it is really confusing, can anyone throw some light on this ?
[12:14] <linux_direction> right. please giv me a min. every time i head over to reset the PC. i come running back. man i feel like a penguin.
[12:14] <avanga> sresu, this is lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/550601/
[12:15] <Cradam> does ubuntu have pre-installed touchscreen drivers?
[12:15] <linux_direction> Okay reset pushed.
[12:15] <linux_direction> oops. i missed the boot up cd.
[12:16] <linux_direction> and now is booting the fresh install.
[12:16] <linux_direction> so i guess thats a good sign. : )
[12:16] <first2none> lol
[12:16] <sresu> avanga:  Does it show as generic interface as before?
[12:16] <AdvoWork> is there a way from the terminal to see what DNS entries my connection is using?
[12:16] <dhruvasagar> anyone on gnome panel ?
[12:17] <Cradam> i have a tablet computer, it doesn't have a mouse, does any1 know whether i can use my touchscreen with ubu
[12:17] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  how often  does it happen ?
[12:17] <first2none> linux_direction: What i dont understand lol is why you want to make a backup of a fresh install if you have the cd
[12:17] <linux_direction> well i will let it boot up. shut it down. and then reboot with live cd. and first have a look to see if anything was written to the destination drive.
[12:17] <bonjoyee> Cradam: try a livecd/usb
[12:17] <granjero> hi is there a way to block right click over the desktop and panels?
[12:17] <dhruvasagar> botcity: well the only way I know how to fix it is to restart the system...i've experienced this at least 5 times since yesterday
[12:18] <avanga> sresu, no it it is not showing
[12:18] <first2none> Did you know that linux runs in like 2-3 partitions?
[12:18] <linux_direction> first2none. it just seemed easier to me, to just recopy from a back up, than to sit through set up.
[12:18] <Cradam> bonjoyee is there a zipped version of the iso
[12:18] <dhruvasagar> botcity: and my system is on almost 24 hours
[12:18] <AdvoWork> im going into network settings, clicking DNS tab, adding an entry, it appears to save it, i close it, go back into it, and its reverted, any ideas why?
[12:18] <bonjoyee> Cradam: why?
[12:18] <first2none> linux_direction: In my opinion it would be harder to set back up with backups instead of a fresh install from cd
[12:18] <Cradam> bonjoyee i am on a public comp which only allows u to dload certain file formats
[12:19] <dhruvasagar> botcity: what i've noticed now is that I can click on the panel if I go to extreme bottom of the screen over the panel....
[12:19] <sresu> avanga: which laptop you are on?
[12:19] <linux_direction> well it is seeming that way now. first2none.
[12:19] <linux_direction> coz.
[12:19] <linux_direction> the fresh install is now stuffed.
[12:19] <avanga> sresu, dell inspiron 1545
[12:20] <first2none> As you have your 1st partition which is "/" directory which is your bootup stuff and so on. Then you have 2nd parition which is your "/home" partition holds the programs personal files media so on. And last if you have one "I recommend one" is the 3rd partition which is a swap partition which is sorta like virtual ram/
[12:20] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  ok can you access the property's from there
[12:20] <dhruvasagar> botcity: yes
[12:20] <sresu> avanga: have you tried seeing the output of lsusb before?
[12:20] <RayFox> how do I use a usb mic with ubuntu?
[12:20] <dhruvasagar> botcity: I can deselect autohide
[12:21] <linux_direction> first2none. my partitions are as follows.
[12:21] <bonjoyee> Cradam: dont think theres a zip file..but there could be workarounds
[12:21] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  ok do that
[12:21] <linux_direction> and dont laugh... ; p
[12:21] <avanga> sresu, yes i've given the pastebin before
[12:21] <first2none> lol lets see them lol
[12:21] <dhruvasagar> botcity: I did...but I like it as autohiden...it gives me more screen area to use
[12:21] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  then re-enable
[12:21] <kaddi> how can I tell the terminal to give a notification when there is activity? I have an ongoing copy process and I'd like some sound bite or flashing once the process is finished
[12:21] <RayFox> I tried udev and recompiled but that's major segfaulting
[12:21] <dhruvasagar> botcity: I did but it doesn't fix it
[12:21] <Cradam> bonjoyee: i know iso's and exe's dont work
[12:22] <sresu> avanga: I mean on day you first plugged in? etc ..
[12:22] <dury> hi there channel :)
[12:22] <avanga> sresu, no.
[12:22] <dhruvasagar> botcity: what I did now is click on show hide bottons, that is working ok though
[12:22] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  ok sometimes its a  fix!
[12:22] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  did that fix the problem
[12:22] <avanga> sresu, this is the pastebin when it was detected http://paste.ubuntu.com/550593/
[12:23] <dhruvasagar> botcity: oh, well I clicked on show hide buttons, showed / hide the panel a few times, then reverted to autohide, it seems to have been fixed now
[12:23] <dury> is there a gui lsof package?
[12:23] <sresu> avanga: what error you found in wvdial?
[12:23] <AdvoWork> if im using roaming wireless, can i specify, or see what DHCP server its using?
[12:23] <dhruvasagar> botcity: it did fix it, but do you know what causes it ?
[12:23] <bonjoyee> Cradam: u could download the iso to file a sharing service  that allows downloading directly from internet..then rename that as zip...try this with a small iso for start..not sure it'll work
[12:23] <dury> lsof
[12:24] <avanga> sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550603/
[12:24] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  well all i can say is its a bug that affects my laptop . must be a bug ! that works for me too
[12:24] <Cradam> i wish torrents worked on this comp then it would be easy
[12:24] <dhruvasagar> botcity: hmm ok well the fix is better than restart though :)
[12:24] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  well all i can say is its a bug that affects my laptop . must be a bug ! that works for me to
[12:25] <botcity> dhruvasagar,  yeah  i know good luck!
[12:25] <brandon-heat> wich better player video for ubuntu ?
[12:25] <R00teR> hi, can i block right button on desktop and panels?
[12:25] <nits_hunter> brandon-heat: vlc :D
[12:26] <brandon-heat> thanks
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> R00teR:  ive seen some gnome securioty settings to 'lock down' gnome to some degree.. but ive never ntocied an easy way to just disable the whole right mouse button
[12:26] <nits_hunter> brandon-heat: sudo aptitude install vlc
[12:26] <rethus> need some help. have additional to my kubuntu-desktop >> ubuntu-desktop isntalled, and choosed gdm as default Displaymanager
[12:26] <first2none> linux you still there?
[12:26] <brandon-heat> thank you nits_hunter
[12:26] <rethus> i start the system, and now all looks like gnome... no dialoge to choose kde or gnome
[12:26] <linux_direction> 1st is primary /boot 2gb ext3. 2nd primary /(root) ext3. 3RD primary /spare(my label/mount point) fat32. ext part is made up of: 1st logic swapfile 1.5gb. 2nd logic /home 10g. 3rd logic /netshr1 70g. 4th logic /netshr2 65g.
[12:27] <sresu> avanga:  THe problem is that its not showing it right in your system
[12:27] <nits_hunter> brandon-heat: no probs :)
[12:27] <brandon-heat> ^^
[12:27] <avanga> sresu, any solution..?
[12:27] <Cradam> whats the easiest way to install ubu when u only have 30GB's of space
[12:27] <bonjoyee> rethus: u have to select it on the login screen..select session
[12:27] <R00teR> ok thanks Dr_Willis
[12:27] <quiescens> you can technically get progress reports from dd, its just.. unintuitive
[12:27] <linux_direction> oops root is 5 or 10g
[12:27] <sresu> avanga: Its not detecting it else it would have said it something like Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1446 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
[12:27] <jrib> Cradam: that's plenty of space, install as usual
[12:27] <sresu> lusb *
[12:28] <Cradam> jrib: dualboot?
[12:28] <linux_direction> the /home /netshr1 and 2 are ext3.
[12:28] <Cradam> jrib i was thinking of using wubi
[12:28] <jrib> Cradam: why?
[12:28] <first2none> Holly shit lol
[12:28] <avanga> sresu, i'm really intrested in using ubuntu but with out my device getting detected it would be really booring.
[12:28] <nits_hunter> Cradam:  30 gigs, whole lotta space, i run ubuntu on hardly 20 gigs, and i have a bunch of movies stored on the same partition :P all ub reqs is like 5 gigs if u install a whole lotta apps
[12:28] <linux_direction> i knew you'd laugh. : )
[12:28] <avanga> sresu, currently i'm using friends net
[12:28] <Cradam> jrib its easy
[12:28] <hiptobecubic> ugh, wubi
[12:28] <dury> need a gui diagnostic tool lsof... is it possible?
[12:29] <jrib> Cradam: normal install is pretty easy too
[12:29] <avanga> sresu, so i want somehow to work this out
[12:29] <sresu> avanga: Its not the problem of Ubuntu. Different versions of that device are causing this problem afaik
[12:30] <Cradam> yes but as i am not very familiar with ubuntu, it allows me to have a back out clause if anything goes wrong by just uninstalling jrib
[12:30] <sresu> avanga: I was expecting it to detect it since 140b was present
[12:30] <AdvoWork> how can i test if dhcp is working from an ubuntu client? i know the ip of the dhcp server but not sure if its got its ip before or after the change
[12:30] <jrib> Cradam: k
[12:30] <brandon-heat> how to install compiz in the ubuntu 10.04 and which library I have to install ?
[12:30] <avanga> sresu, ok thanks for spending your time..
[12:30] <quiescens> linux_direction: ultimately, unless you have a particularly good reason to do otherwise, it would be easiest to use existing disk imaging software, rather than try to do it all manually with dd
[12:31] <avanga> sorry if i was irritating
[12:31] <rethus> now i've start gdm, i got a hdd-warning at first popup
[12:31] <sresu> avanga: I''m sorry. I cannot help an further
[12:31] <avanga> sresu, ^^
[12:31] <rethus> only in german language, but i add a video to show it
[12:31] <rethus> show end-to-end-error
[12:31] <nuno_nunes> hahi
[12:31] <sresu> avanga: what did you actually try with wvdial?
[12:31] <Cradam> which is better for a tablet pc netbook or standard
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> brandon-heat:  its in stalled by default on a ormal ubuntu setup.
[12:32] <sresu> avanga: And what does the manual of the device say about linux installation?
[12:32] <bastidrazor> ubottu: tell brandon-heat about ccsm
[12:32] <nuno_nunes> plz help to install java on ubuntu 10.10
[12:32] <brandon-heat> ok
[12:32] <bazhang> nuno_nunes, enable partner repo
[12:32] <bazhang> !java > nuno_nunes
[12:32] <bazhang> !partner > nuno_nunes
[12:32] <Cradam> (my resolution is 1024*768)
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> nuno_nunes:  icedtea java is in the normal repos. Sun java is in teh Partner repos.
[12:33] <avanga> sresu, it says some steps which are to be followed after the device gets detected
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> Cradam:  depends on what you like. I cant stand the netbook interface.
[12:33] <sresu> avanga: Like?
[12:34] <sresu> avanga: I wonder if its not switching to modem mode
[12:34] <avanga> sresu, it is asking to install wvdial first
[12:34] <sresu> avanga: Then?
[12:35] <rethus> here it is - my hdd error-screenshot. http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/5964/bildschirmfotomr.png
[12:35] <rethus> this cause of i using gdm now?
[12:35] <hystreni> hello, how can i accept msn file transfers with pidgin... i dont see anything when they try tos end
[12:35] <rethus> before in kdm doesn't got such an error
[12:35] <linux_direction> i agree with that 100% quiescens. in 2 hrs i will have downloaded clonezilla.
[12:35] <avanga> sresu, sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0*201e product=0*2009
[12:35] <sresu> modprobe
[12:36] <sresu> avanga: Don't try that. After that?
[12:37] <avanga> sraue, sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
[12:37] <avanga> sresu, , sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
[12:37] <Cradam> i think ill try netbook, if i don't like it then ill go for std
[12:38] <sresu> avanga: What you had to change in that?
[12:38] <bastidrazor> rethus: maybe you should try #ubuntu-de since that screenshot is in german. i doubt many people here can read german.
[12:39] <sresu> avanga: Ive an alternative to it if you could say the other steps
[12:40] <avanga> sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550615/
[12:40] <avanga> sresu, that would be great if you are able to help
[12:40] <sresu> avanga: What's instructed in the manual to do with that file?
[12:41] <sresu> avanga: Actually username is not internet it should be your photon+ no.
[12:41] <avanga> sresu, to edit it with these commands
[12:41] <avanga> http://paste.ubuntu.com/550615/
[12:41] <sresu> Next
[12:42] <avanga> sresu, sudo wvdial
[12:42] <sresu> avanga: How many more steps are ther?
[12:42] <linux_direction> oh well. back to the beginning for me.
[12:42] <linux_direction> thanks for your help room.
[12:42] <avanga> sresu, thats it..the manual says this coomand shoud connect the device
[12:42] <linux_direction> bye4now : )
[12:43] <phoenixfire> hi
[12:43] <Cradam> i just looked at unitys interface and the buttons are a 50 pixels square which is good
[12:43] <OchoZero9> when formating, which should one use? ext4 , 3 , 2 reiserfs, btrfs, jfs, xfs, fat, fat32? what's the difference?
[12:43] <phoenixfire> ubuntu 10.4 not sound mic
[12:44] <Cradam> and the dialog box buttons are a good 30 pixels tall
[12:44] <soreau> ! filesystems | OchoZero9
[12:45] <pjw2127> nihao
[12:45] <OchoZero9> thank you, and thanks for the link
[12:45] <OchoZero9> any performance difference?
[12:45] <Aufwind> test
[12:45] <inSanity_> phoenixfire, please be a little more specific
[12:45] <botcity> OchoZero9,  depends ?
[12:46] <Cradam> bye
[12:46] <botcity> question is PyQt available for python3.1?
[12:46] <pjw2127> test
[12:47] <OchoZero9> what would it depend on?
[12:48] <rethus> how can i check my whole disc for errors on cmd?
[12:48] <sresu_> avanga: <sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp>
[12:48] <obhk> my old ubuntu used the old-fashioned beeper in my computer for alerts, but after upgrading now it beeps through the speakers; can I change that again?
[12:48] <sresu_> avanga: ^^
[12:49] <avanga> sresu, done installing
[12:49] <sresu> avanga:gnome-ppp
[12:49] <sresu> run
[12:50] <sresu> avanga: Setup it with type USB modem, device - Detect. Username as your photon+ no. and pass as internet
[12:51] <avanga> sresu, hang on i will try it after rebooting
[12:51] <rswarbrick> Hi there. Is there a way to get historical packages for ubuntu? I'm looking for yelp version 2.24 (looking to check whether a crasher bug has been fixed and I can't reproduce it with the newest versions) and I think I probably need the version from Jaunty Jackalope.
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> obhk:  you could perhaps modprobe the pcskpr module (i think) its blacklisted by default - the whole 'pc beeps' internal speaker is considered annoying these days
[12:52] <jrib> rswarbrick: packages.ubuntu.com or launchpad librarian
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> rswarbrick:  there are proberly ftp servers that still have the packages. but after so long, the files get moved to a 'end of life' server
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> !eol
[12:52] <rswarbrick> Dr_Willis: Any idea where I should look? I really just want the package source...
[12:53] <rswarbrick> (packages.ubuntu.com doesn't seem to have it)
[12:54] <botcity> rswarbrick,  i would use the live cd and compare then
[12:54] <jrib> rswarbrick: so try launchpad or use the old-releases repository the bot links to in the upgrade procedure for EOL releases
[12:54] <rswarbrick> Ah cool. Thanks guys!
[12:54] <avanga> sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550625/
[12:55] <avanga> sresu, this is the output
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> rswarbrick:  Other then look throguh the ftp servers. No.
[12:55] <sresu> avanga: wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
[12:59] <sresu> avanga: You really need to contact the service provider for this. Call them to check whether model supports Linux OS as I'm aware only few are compatible. Since your o/p mentioned Huawei, I was hoping it to work for you. Sorry, only this far I can help you. I'd have asked to check what modemmanager would say but with the output of GNOME-PPP, its hardware issue.
[13:00] <pel> h
[13:01] <avanga> sresu, okay you were really helpful so far.. see you soon hope from my tata photon+
[13:01] <sresu> Hopefully
[13:01] <sresu> avanga: Get it replaced with what's compatible with Ubuntu
[13:02] <sresu> or *nix
[13:02] <avanga> sresu, ty
[13:04] <Bingo> Hi, i can't Decrypt my home folder, cause i removed 2 files... i don't know what should i do? .....
[13:04] <gobbe> what two files you removed?
[13:04] <StaRetji> Folks, I need help, I have small htpc which I carry with me. I want it to be on resolution 1024x768 at refresh rate of 60Hz. When I plug in different monitors it takes highest resolution monitor supports. How to solve this. I would like to force 1024x768 at 60Hz no matter what. Thx!
[13:05] <StaRetji> I have this line in xorg.conf 		Modes	     "1024x768@60"   but it doesn't seem to be obeyed :/
[13:05] <botcity> Bingo, did you not write down your key once you encripted it
[13:06] <StaRetji> Full xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/550627/
[13:06] <Bingo> botcity: no :( i just know the login password...
[13:06] <StaRetji> anyone?
[13:06] <gobbe> Bingo: well. what two files did you delete?
[13:06] <Bingo> gobbe: one of them was .Private
[13:06] <gobbe> Bingo: and without encryption key it's quite hard to open it
[13:06] <Bingo> gobbe: okay what is the way?
[13:06] <Bingo> to open...
[13:07] <gobbe> Bingo: well, bruteforce, might take like 200 years
[13:07] <Bingo> gobbe: ya that's great... :((
[13:09] <botcity> Bingo, erm thats a hard problem for me sorry hope you backed up some stuff externally!!
[13:09] <Bingo> gobbe: i've created .Private file with ecryptfs-create-private but....
[13:10] <Bingo> botcity: gobbe: guys, if i format the partition, can i recover my Home Folder files after that?
[13:10] <r00t4rd3d> no
[13:10] <r00t4rd3d> not unless your the fbi/cia
[13:11] <l33tch> My question's quite long so I wonder if anyone can have a look here and maybe post what they think: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10319080#post10319080
[13:11] <Bingo> r00t4rd3d: me?
[13:11] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[13:11] <Bingo> r00t4rd3d: okay, then i have to forget my files...
[13:12] <r00t4rd3d> if you formatted yeah
[13:12] <Bingo> robotjox: no i didn't. just i can't decrypt my home folder
[13:12] <r00t4rd3d> i havent been watching your issue so i really shouldnt be responding
[13:13] <r00t4rd3d> but normally if you format a hard drive , your files are gone
[13:13] <zs1otb_> hi all, this might be a stupid question, but can a ubuntu 10.04 laptop be infested by some kind of virus?
[13:14] <hiexpo> !virus
[13:14] <soreau> zs1otb_: It isnt likely. Is there some reason you think this might be the case?
[13:14] <gobbe> Bingo: if you lose encryption key, you lose your data
[13:14] <zs1otb_> Well my machine suddenly is VERY sluggish and for no apparent reason the system runs at 100%
[13:14] <Bingo> :(
[13:15] <botcity> Bingo, did you mean format everything but you home partition.. that's not really the problem?
[13:15] <granjero> hi, is there any way to force the files written in some folder to have automatically rw attributes for the primary gruop of the creator of the file?
[13:15] <soreau> zs1otb_: Have you checked running processes to see if any are using too many resources?
[13:16] <Bingo> botcity: i meant delete the whole ubuntu partition
[13:16] <r00t4rd3d> cd /
[13:16] <r00t4rd3d> err
yes and this is the problem there is basically nothing running exept te gnome-system-monitor and it runs at 98%
[13:17] <zs1otb_> also it appears suddenly if thunderbird and firefox are eating up the resources when they run
[13:18] <botcity> Bingo, if you kept the key from install you can sort it...
[13:18] <zs1otb_> I now only have XChat running and the usage is less than 11%
[13:18] <Bingo> botcity: no i removed it, from /home/USER/.Private
[13:20] <kaydsoft>  maybe this aint the right place to ask ....but I'll go ahead ......I know its early .....maybe too early but anyone with ubuntu's gsoc 2011 dirctives ......I mean any one  who knows ubuntu's gsoc 2011 goals,directives ow somin like that
[13:20] <tavasti> problem with libvirt network config: I try to change dhcp range, but still dnsmasq is started with original range

[13:20] <zs1otb_> what is htop?
[13:21] <soreau> !info htop
[13:21] <zs1otb_> ok
[13:21] <tarelerulz> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my Sony vaio via sdcard and I used the iso to boot USB stick program recommend on Ubuntu site.  After running it my windows 7 home permiam install had to repair itself  ,but it did work again .  The install media said there was no live media found  anyone else have that problem
[13:21] <botcity> on install of ubuntu it offers you the option of encryption once set up it dispalys the key if you made a copy and kept it you stud a chance but with out it i wouldn't know how to help.
[13:22] <tavasti> have tried editing with 'virsh net-edit default' and /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml directly, but still range is same 192.168.122.2-192.168.122.254
[13:23] <Nanoha> vsftp.  I currently have a public 'download' area on my ftp server, and users can log in to upload content to personal folders.  I do this to maintain a 'sandbox' (I guess it's called).  Now I want to enable more security.  Users will have to log in to download from the "public" area.  Can i do this, and have seperate  a seperate upload area too?
[13:25] <triptec> to convert xls and doc files to html and pdf from commandline what's the current method?

[13:31] <webstyler> Can someone recommend CrashPlan online backup?
it looks like it is firefox that is so heavy on the resources. I have started Thuunderbird and it did not reallu make an impact, but the moment Firefox starts up... whoa!!!
[13:31] <overdub> strange that a file in my home dir would denote boot up before I've logged in as that user
[13:31] <lukus> webstyler, check their ToS
[13:31] <triptec> vipul: I was thinking more in the line of commandline openoffice or something..
[13:31] <lukus> find out what happens if they loose your data
[13:31] <lukus> *lose
[13:31] <jrib> overdub: it doesn't.  It selects the session to use for logging in as that user
[13:32] <jrib> overdub: there is no desktop before logging in
[13:32] <overdub> jrib, ah, ok, i think i get it now, thanks for your help

[13:38] <xsumi5> Does anyone know why the boot screen changes after the initial install of Ubuntu 10.10?
[13:38] <xsumi5> Both the startup and shutdown screens look like something out of the 70's
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> xsumi5:  did you install the ati or nvidia drivers?
[13:39] <xsumi5> The nvidia drivers
[13:39] <webstyler>  xsumi5: yeah somitimes you need to set up the boot resolution correcly according to your driver/card
[13:40] <xsumi5> Let me take a look at that
[13:40] <SamuraiAlba> Is this correct to boot using grub2 or grub4dos from a USB key?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/550634/
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> Plymoth is so annoying.i tedn to just diable it.
[13:40] <StaRetji> Folks, if I type xrandr -s 1024x768 -r 60 from terminal it's working, but if type it via ssh it complains Can't open display. I know I should add -d but what else?
[13:40] <sdfadsfa> re
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> SamuraiAlba:  that looks a little minimal for a grub2 grub.cfg file
[13:41] <SamuraiAlba> Dr_Willis, that was just the BT entry
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> SamuraiAlba:  check /boot/grub/grub.cfg for an example one
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> SamuraiAlba:  try it and see if it works.. the times i got grub2 on a flash drive with config files. its always a bit mroe complex then that.
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> I do tend to boot ISO files from flash driv es
[13:42] <SamuraiAlba> Got a good tutorial for booting MULTIPLE ISOs from one flash?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> SamuraiAlba:  delcious.com/dr_willis/grub2
[13:43] <SamuraiAlba> came up as a search/ad site
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> delicious.com should be a bookmarking site
[13:43] <SamuraiAlba> you missed an I :)
[13:43] <SamuraiAlba> Found it!
[13:44]  * SamuraiAlba pulls it out from under the ficus
[13:44] <webstyler> xsumi5: take a look at this  http://askubuntu.com/questions/16874/boot-screen-in-low-graphics-text-mode and maybe this http://askubuntu.com/questions/16874/boot-screen-in-low-graphics-text-mode
[13:44] <xsumi5> webslayer: I think I have it.
[13:44] <webstyler> xsumi5: i just set the  GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 to my screens res. done.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> xsumi5:  that delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 site should have a url i bookmarked a few weeeks back about fixing the plymouth reds.
[13:45] <xsumi5> I noticed it happened right after updates and tweaks.  I didn't expect nvidia, but now it makes perfect sense.
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> res.
[13:45] <webstyler> ok
[13:45] <xsumi5> It looks like GRUB_GFXMODE is commented out.
[13:45] <botcity> SamuraiAlba,  there is a good tutorial on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH-khdiXqYs
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> xsumi5:  personally  - i edit the /etc/default/grub file and remove the 'quiet splash' options, and go without plymouth

[13:46] <xsumi5> thanks everyone

[13:48] <induz>  I am running WINE on Karmic. When i run MS word 2007 the fonts are not too glossy...how can I correct this problem?
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> induz:  you have checked the wine app database for any tips?
[13:48] <induz> Do I have to download few other fonts ? where and How?
[13:48]  * Dr_Willis wonders how screen fonts are glossy
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> induz:   for wine? i imagine you can get them online and copy them to the proper fonts dir in your .wine dir
[13:49] <induz> yes i was reading about trying at WINE HQ
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> or your users .fonts dir
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> or both. :)
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> Not sure how wine handles fonts
[13:49] <induz> how?
[13:49] <krger_> (poorly)
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> i dont recall any font issues with wine.. but i dont use it a lot.
[13:50] <induz> I use this command But i dont get it right
[13:50] <induz>  sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> !info msttcorefonts
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> wrong name is my guess..
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> !fonts
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> or you need the medibuntu repos.
[13:51] <llutz_> !info ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> I tend to just install ubuntu-restricted-extras - i think that pulls in the fonts.

[14:07] <tripelb> and there was just a new message in a channel and no beep.

[14:08] <Ryu_Kurisu> Does LinuxMCE still live? =-O
[14:08] <Myrtti> tripelb: does mentioning your nickname make it beep?
[14:08] <sresu> llutz_: No its not encryted. Its that whenever I've to mount it manually in file manager, I need to feed password else by terminal being sudoer
[14:09] <llutz_> sresu: mounting via /etc/fstab won't require that password
[14:09] <sresu> llutz_: Password is required which I hope to avoid making it part of fstab so that it takes into the account the login
[14:09] <llutz_> sresu: look for "users" option, if you want your users being able to mount the filesystem (if not automaticly)

[14:14] <sresu> KaiTe: #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu, #xubuntu
[14:14] <Dcite> GodSeed: Did you manage to trigger the hard switch for the wifi outside the unit? Usually when automatically going to a wired ethernet wifi isn't  disabled
[14:14] <sresu> Dcite: Yeah
[14:15] <GodSeed> nope i checked the switch
[14:15] <GodSeed> even reinstalled the driver and nothing

[14:18] <Soyo> Has anyone successfully had netflix working on Ubuntu? My girlfriend pays for netflix and would rather use their service than torrents but its kind of a propietary deal... They did recently make it possible for Macs though

[14:18] <Myrtti> slipttees: please have patience
[14:18] <llutz_> sresu: LABEL=pr0n /media/notforyoureyes ext4 ......
[14:18] <GodSeed> soyo i called netflix and no it wont work
[14:19] <Guest45353> there's a CD with my digital camera but it's all for windows
[14:19] <slipttees> Myrtti: sory
[14:19] <sresu> huh?
[14:19] <Guest45353> will I ever be able to use it with linux?
[14:19] <Guest45353> it's for windows TM 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista
[14:19] <Soyo> GodSeed: I know they don't support it. I am asking if anyone can simulate being on a Mac
[14:19] <GodSeed> best option on linux + netflix is a Vmware windows system
[14:19] <llutz_> sresu: go with UUID, it's fine
[14:19] <sresu> llutz_: THANK YOU.
[14:20] <Soyo> I have been able to make the browser tell netflix it is a mac, but then the movie just shows the loading screen indefinitely
[14:21] <GodSeed> Soyo I think they use Silverlight to play and without it you cant load but I could be wrong
[14:21] <Guest45353> guys, I hooked up my cam with my PC via USB but it won't show in Nautilus, what options do I have to make it work? any ideas?
[14:22] <Soyo> GodSeed: I have heard about some attempts to use Moonlight to get netflix working, but never any complete success stories. But now that they support Macs that is much closer to linux.
[14:23] <emveedee> hello

[14:25] <Cradam> yo
[14:25] <slipttees> Soyo: no solved my problem
[14:26] <Soyo> slipttees: What is the problem?
[14:26] <slipttees> blank screen
[14:26] <slipttees> vosto 3300 nvidia 310m
[14:27] <botcity> Guest45353: you should google you hardware for compatibility
[14:27] <Cradam> some people have told me not to use wubi, why?
[14:27] <Soyo> slipttees: Do you have another way (like the motherboard) so can find out what the error is?
[14:27] <emveedee> Well, I just installed ubuntu on my laptop which had 3 partitions on it. I wanted it to install on 1 of those partitions, so I selected Largest free partition (or something similar, dont remember exactly what it was called). I checked the size of the partition to make sure it was the partition I wanted it to install on, and then I proceeded to install ubuntu. But somehow it has overwritten all partitions. Is there any way at all for me to
[14:27] <emveedee>  recover those partitions?
[14:28] <Cradam> emveedee no
[14:28] <slipttees> Soyo: yeah
[14:28] <Soyo> emveedee: formating can be rather permanent, are you sure it wrote over the other partitions?
[14:28] <emveedee> Hmm I was afraid of that. Any idea how this could've happened?
[14:28] <Myrtti> Cradam: it's main usecase is to be a "technology demo", a bit like there are demos for games to try if it works with your hardware combination. It may break on upgrade or with random events with Windows, as it's not installed directly to a partition but to a loopback file that resides within the Windows partition
[14:28] <dylan__> how can i boot a iso from a external HDD in Ubuntu ?
[14:29] <Soyo> slipttees: Is there any hint in your error logs (/var/log) as to any issues?

[14:29] <jacobr> When I use Alt+F2 and type in "Update Manager -d" it tells me its not found. I'm trying to update to the Natty Alpha. Anyone know how to do this? I'm on Ubuntu 10.10
[14:30] <emveedee> I just checked using gparted, it shows 3 partitions (/dev/sda1, /sda2 and /sda5, it used to have 3 and 4 too before installing
[14:30] <slipttees> Soyo: i can bootup using "nomodeset"
[14:30] <dylan__> Try from the upper dock
[14:30] <Myrtti> jacobr: it would be "update-manager" not "Update Manager"
[14:30] <Soyo> slipttees: try to see if you can find any error messages in your log files that will give you a clue as to what the issue is
[14:31] <slipttees> Soyo: okay
[14:31] <jacobr> Myrtti: OH geeze. XD Thanks
[14:31] <Myrtti> jacobr: no prob, #ubuntu+1 for further support :-)
[14:31] <Soyo> emveedee: So then you may still have the other two (unless they were partitions 4 and 5)
[14:32] <emveedee> they were 4 and 5
[14:32] <Soyo> :(
[14:32] <emveedee> I used to have 3 partitions of about 80g each, now theres one of 210 and 2 of about 9gb
[14:32] <Soyo> emveedee: you do back-up your software right?
[14:33] <emveedee> Ye, well, no. My mistake I guess. Worst part is losing my music, I can get that back.
[14:35] <Soyo> emveedee: Yeah media, documents, and anything you put work into (writing - coding) are the main things you should always backup. Most other things can be redownloaded, reinstalled, and reconfigured in short order

[14:48] <Zarax> hoo, boy... i knew i should have learned linux basics when we switched to linux over a year ago :/
[14:48] <milamber> gavin__: vlc has a command line interface. you'll have to read the docs to get at it though

[14:50] <mbeierl> anyone have a good howto on ipod touch 4g?  My iphone shows up with the full filesystem, but when I try to mount the ipod touch, it just mounts the gvfs photo mount point and nothing else
[14:50] <gobbe> cntb: you could check it from there, but i would say that 99% sure
[14:51] <gavin__> milamber: will give that a go. I just realised there may be a config issue with motion. I think by default it is it only serves to localhost so that may be it... That link looks good though so I will test also. Cheers

[15:02] <DaGeek247> just plug it into the computer, boot into ubuntu, and you should just be able to install it to the usb key.
[15:02] <wolfric> How does ubuntu process IR commands? I have the windows media center remote control plugged i. It handled the commands before lirc was installed. Does lirc take over? Or where do i need to look to edit the commands?

[15:07] <Aer> Hi, can anyone tell me how I can get USB Support with VirtualBox OSE on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ?
[15:08] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[15:08] <Soyo> ih
[15:08] <Ju> :)
[15:08] <Soyo> lol
[15:08] <Soyo> hi
[15:08] <llutz_> Aer: ose has no usb support, use PUEL version from oracle
[15:08] <erUSUL> Aer: for usb passthrough support you need the Vbox version from its website
[15:08] <Soyo> karma
[15:08] <Ju> PEAAACE
[15:08] <gribouille> Soyo, thanks, but there is nothing about the exams
[15:09] <gobbe> bluegoon: you could create new filesystem, using lvm, copy excisting files there, delete old filesystem, create lvm there also and add it to lvm pool
[15:09] <Aer> the Oracle Puel Version wont work on my ubuntu anymore :/ it use to work but i tried it today and i had some weird driver error ended in soemthing like (rc-1908)
[15:09] <MrUnagi> Aer: reformat
[15:09] <bluegoon> gobbe, ok
[15:09] <rethus> i have many files named like virtuoso_xxxxxxx.ini in /home/myfolder/.cache.
[15:09] <rethus> whats thats for files
[15:09] <Aer> and virtual machines wouldnt start so i tried reinstalling it and when i go into Ubuntu Software software centre it says that virtualbox version isnt available for my system
[15:10] <Aer> im not reformatting just for a VM lol
[15:10] <Aer> this is turning into windows >.<
[15:10] <MrUnagi> Aer: blasphemy!
[15:10] <Aer> well reformat is a windows things lol
[15:11] <Aer> if i cant get virtualbox puel to work on ubuntu are their any other alternatives for ubuntu that are good and provide USB support and free ?
[15:11] <MrUnagi> Aer: what is the actual error
[15:11] <Aer> ive lost it now cus i uninstalled it lol >.<
[15:12] <Aer> i can go reinstall it etc and try again to give you the error but youll have to wait a few moments for me to do all that
[15:12] <MrUnagi> Aer: the windows philosphy is that when something doesnt work, to uninstall it, or get a new computer lol
[15:12] <Soyo> gribouille: Are you looking for study guides or how they are administered?
[15:12] <MrUnagi> a co workerof mine actually did that
[15:12] <Aer> well uninstall was what i read on the ubuntu forumns
[15:12] <gobbe> Aer: the version of virtualbox that you can download from oracle supports usb
[15:12] <gribouille> Soyo, I'm looking for exams
[15:13] <Aer> ?
[15:13] <Soyo> gribouille: Oh just to take.
[15:13] <mbejar> hello
[15:13] <Aer> ill try again from the virtualbox website
[15:13] <gobbe> Aer: there are two version of virtualbox, opensource one (-ose) that can be installed from repository and second one downloadable from www.virtualbox.org
[15:13] <gobbe> Aer: and the one from virtualbox.org supports usb
[15:14] <kobus> anybody that can help with a usb mobile broadband modem?
[15:14] <Aer> to make sure im not doing anything wrong now that can cause a problem i should download the i386 for my 32-bit system right xD
[15:14] <gobbe> kobus: ask the question
[15:14] <Aer> noob question maybe but im making sure im not doing it wrong lol
[15:14] <gobbe> Aer: yes
[15:14] <iiDesigns> yepper
[15:14] <Aer> ok downloading that and ill try again
[15:15] <Aer> thing is this isnt the first time i had this error
[15:15] <kobus> gobbe: it is a ZTE K3805. it seems its mode is switched but it still does not work
[15:15] <Aer> the OSE version always runs perfect...but no usb support :/
[15:15] <Ridpojken> Anyone with experiences of ubuntu and Radeon 9600? It's stuck at 800x600...
[15:15] <gobbe> Aer: i'm using one from their site and using usb with it quite often
[15:15] <iiDesigns> Aer sometimes for older hardware the alternate version solves a few issues
[15:15] <Auckla> Hi is there anyone here who is framiliar with apache2.2?

[15:15] <JustMozzy> hey guys
[15:15] <Soyo> gribouille: http://www.fastlaneous.com/courses/ubuntu They may be able to offer more information. I think they are North America though.
[15:15] <Aer> ok
[15:15] <Auckla> I have a simple question, that I seem to be having problems with.
[15:15] <Auckla> Telling apache not to log certain things.
[15:16] <Aer> if this doesnt work again though guys
[15:16] <JustMozzy> I am having a weird permission problem on my machine. I am trying to access a folder which is owned by me "admin:webedit" however it gives me "permission denied" can anyone help me with that
[15:16] <gobbe> rethus: no, --exlucde .cache/google-chrome/ --exclude .local/share/Trash/
[15:16] <Aer> are there any alternatives to VirtualBox for Ubuntu  that provide USB Support ?
[15:16] <erUSUL> Auckla: /join #httpd ?
[15:16] <Auckla> erUSUL: I have. I am there.
[15:16] <Auckla> The only response I got is from a bot.
[15:16] <rethus> gobbe: you mean not absolute path ?
[15:16] <erUSUL> JustMozzy: « ls -ld folder/ »
[15:16] <kobus> gobbe: i can't figure out where things are going wrong
[15:16] <Auckla> That give me a link that does not accurately fit what I"m looking for.
[15:16] <blacknight> hii wasup
[15:16] <gribouille> Soyo, ok, thanks
[15:16] <gobbe> rethus: yes
[15:17] <gobbe> rethus: if you mean that your excludes are not working?
[15:17] <pavanai> any body know how to connect dell xcd 28 to ubuntu?
[15:17] <JustMozzy> erUSUL, drw-rw-rw- 9 admin webedit 4096 Jan  5 14:28 files
[15:17] <Frenk> Hey, I am looking for Network-Design-Software in Linux. I do not want to emulate but just to "draw" the network. I was using Visio until I switched to Ubuntu. Is there any good software to do that?
[15:17] <blacknight> any here use fedora
[15:17] <gobbe> kobus: hmmh. have you tried to google with model?
[15:17] <Auckla> erUSUL: So you put the effort into telling me to join another channel but you don't give any suggestions?
[15:17] <JustMozzy> erUSUL, I can access it as root but not as "admin"
[15:17] <iiDesigns> justmozzy from the terminal chmod 777 -R directoryname / filename
[15:17] <milamber> !qemu | Aer, i am pretty sure this does
[15:18] <JustMozzy> iiDesigns, I'd rather not
[15:18] <rethus> gobbe: other problem is, that i got permission denied if i execute rsync as root (to a mounted nfs-folder)
[15:18] <blacknight> any here use fedora
[15:18] <iiDesigns> justmozzy should add sudo to front
[15:18] <Auckla> erUSUL: You seem quite busy at the moment.
[15:18] <gobbe> rethus: you mounted nfs with wrong parameters
[15:18] <pavanai> am using android 2.1
[15:18] <Soyo> Auckla: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/logs.html
[15:18] <erUSUL> Auckla: i do not have experience with apache; i just pointed a channel with people likely to have the experience i do not have
[15:18] <rethus> gobbe: which have i to use?
[15:18] <Auckla> Thanks Soyo:
[15:18] <erUSUL> JustMozzy: forlders need execution bit set to be "browsable"
[15:19] <Soyo> yw
[15:19] <erUSUL> JustMozzy: chmod +x folder
[15:19] <Auckla> I am successfull at getting apache to block ip's. I want it to block hosts also. :)
[15:19] <rethus> gobbe: i use this: sudo mount -t nfs contio-desktop:/BACKUP /mnt/BACKUP/
[15:19] <erUSUL> btw in unix is directory ;P
[15:19] <iiDesigns> auckla I have been using webmin to control apache and seems to work good not sure if that helps at all
[15:19] <kobus> gobbe: yes, couldn't find anything usefull
[15:20] <erUSUL> !permissions > JustMozzy
[15:20] <Ringolas> Hey!
[15:20] <Ringolas> I've got a problem at my newinstalled Ubuntu!
[15:20] <Auckla> iiDesigns: I will try it out. :)
[15:20] <Aer> hmm the new version worked for me guys
[15:20] <gobbe> rethus: no_root_squash is the option
[15:20] <JustMozzy> thanks erUSUL. it is weird, it doesn't always happen to me
[15:20] <Aer> sorry to have bothered you xD
[15:20] <Aer> but thanks for your replies :)
[15:20] <compdoc> Ringolas, congrats!
[15:20] <Ringolas> I've logged in but I can't see the icons... Please help
[15:21] <rethus> gobbe: you mean in the export-file on the nfs-server ?
[15:21] <erUSUL> JustMozzy: what thing does not allways happen to you?
[15:21] <iiDesigns> auckla I found apache terminal great but non techies my staff webmin works great so they can setup virtual domains and all that good stuff
[15:21] <Aer> i need to log onto the other username now to test virtualbox, thanks guys :) cya
[15:21] <Soyo> Ringolas: if you right click on the desktop do you get a menu?
[15:21] <Ringolas> Soya: No...
[15:21] <gobbe> rethus: yes
[15:21] <JustMozzy> erUSUL, that after setting chmod 666 I don't have access to a folder anymore. sometimes it happens, sometimes not. but now I know what to do if it happens
[15:21] <Ringolas> I installed with an USB-stick
[15:21] <Soyo> Ringolas: Do you have the menu bar? (panel)
[15:22] <Ringolas> I see the menubar at the top, but no icons
[15:22] <Ringolas> just an empty panel
[15:22] <Auckla> iiDesigns: Thank you.
[15:22] <Auckla> Yeah I'm old school. I"m not used to 2.2
[15:22] <Soyo> Ringolas: Are there any options (just no icons) or is it completely blank?
[15:22] <erUSUL> JustMozzy: it should allways happen; you need +x to be able to cd to them
[15:22] <rethus> gobbe: i have use anonuid=1000, and worked before.
[15:23] <Auckla> I like the way that everything is broken down into different little conf files. But at the same time it is almost confusing.
[15:23] <iiDesigns> Me too is just a deb package download and install might need to fix dependices
[15:23] <JustMozzy> erUSUL, thanks mate
[15:23] <JustMozzy> am off :)
[15:23] <Auckla> Like I said I was able to get it to quit loggin certain ip's. I need it to do the same with domain names.
[15:23] <gobbe> rethus: root is not allowed by default, so you need to add option to allow it
[15:23] <Ringolas> I can click in the top right. But it's like invinsible icons
[15:23] <Ringolas> I can see a calendar and stuffs if I click in different positions
[15:24] <milamber> !screenshot | Ringolas
[15:24] <iiDesigns> Deny from host.example.com example.com doesn't work
[15:24] <zamba> how do i encrypt just a folder in my home directory?
[15:24] <gobbe> iiDesigns: doesn't work where?

[15:25] <milamber> !encrypt | zamba
[15:25] <iiDesigns> that message was for auckla....
[15:26] <Soyo> Ringolas: If you right click the panel (menu bar) does it give options to add items?
[15:27] <Ringolas> Oh! I found Firefox no! Clicking in an empty space
[15:27] <Ringolas> Soya: No
[15:27] <rethus> gobbe: now i got this... but the other files seems to be rsyncedhttp://pastebin.com/t3aRcmi6
[15:27] <Ringolas> Hey! When I clicked print screen the icons showed up for a sec
[15:27] <Soyo> Ringolas: There is an options to turn icons on and off on the panel but I can't remember where. Somewhere under system>preferences I think
[15:28] <gobbe> rethus: you have opened your gpg with root maybe
[15:28] <bluegoon> Hello guys, can you migrate all your updates and apps from 10.10 to another partition with 10.10 installed?

[15:29] <azizLIGHTS> is there a server specific channel?
[15:29] <Soyo> Ringolas: The second blank space to the left?

[15:29] <rethus> gobbe: don't know. i only installed ubuntu-desktop n my kubuntu-desktop-system, and have this errors now. before in kubuntu the script works well
[15:29] <azizLIGHTS> ok thanks
[15:29] <Stattrav> I am unable to control the brightness of my laptop screen, a couple of hours of search through the forums and other places on the internet hasnt helped much, is there a solution ?
[15:29] <gobbe> rethus: well..you might have installed gpg-keys with sudo and it caused that
[15:29] <Ringolas> Soya: That's Empathy...
[15:30] <Stattrav> neither do my function keys work.
[15:30] <Stattrav> as in special keys

[15:38] <feanor2> linker, delete cookies
[15:38] <_joey> is there a reason why firefox uses around 1G of memory while  running for a couple of days?

[15:39] <Berto> Hi - I want to make an mp3 from a flash app.   What's the best way to do this?
[15:39] <linker> feanor2, where?
[15:39] <feanor2> induz, ~/.fonts (create folder and put fonts there)
[15:39] <crawler> AbhiJit: cpu heating is usually due to poor ventilation, did you check inside the case for dust?
[15:39] <AbhiJit> is it wise to choose xubuntu to decrease cpu load and increase cpu life?
[15:39] <wrd> _joey: afaik this comes from heap momory fragmentation.
[15:39] <milamber> Ringolas: did you do ctrl + alt + f7 to get back to the gui?
[15:39] <rs0832> linker, ctrl-shift-delete in ff
[15:39] <AbhiJit> crawler, there is dust
[15:40] <AbhiJit> but
[15:40] <Ringolas> milamber: After I wrote sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart I came back to the login-page
[15:40] <AbhiJit> computer is too slow
[15:40] <crawler> AbhiJit: use a can of compressed air to clean it out.  what are the computer specs?
[15:40] <_joey> wrd whatever it comes from, firefox a single process that consumes memory more than any other processes, in fact, more than the rest of the system
[15:41] <Ringolas> http://img205.imageshack.us/i/skrmbildv.png/
[15:41] <AbhiJit> crawler, shoild i deassemble laptop and clean everything?
[15:41] <Ringolas> That's how it looks
[15:41] <AbhiJit> crawler, we dont have such eqipments here easily
[15:41] <AbhiJit> crawler, compaq presario a900
[15:42] <crawler> AbhiJit: only recommended if you have experience doing so.  but yes, cleaning the dust off the heat sink and fan will help keep it from over heating

[15:44] <Frenk> Hey I am looking for network diagram software on ubuntu. Any sugggestions?
[15:44] <_joey> it's been so long people have been complaining about firefox uses a lot of RAM
[15:44] <goltoof> _joey, i use them all, ff has bugs that chrome doesn't and vice versa
[15:45] <_joey> goltoof ff is one big bug
[15:45] <vultraz> anyone know where the software sources menu is in ubuntu 10.10?

[15:46] <goltoof> _joey:  yea, it's got it's downsides, but it's got way more plugins than chrome, at this point... anyway, offtopic
[15:46] <_joey> goltoof: I like lastpass and ad-block
[15:46] <milamber> !info tgif | Frenk: a quick google search turned up tgif

[15:49] <goltoof> depends on what you do, i couldn't live without firebug.

[15:52] <Krabs> hi all does someone know how to patch the ipw2200 drivers in bt 4
[15:52] <milamber> Ringolas: that was to see if nautilus was the culprit. doesn't seem like it is.
[15:52] <Myrtti> !backtrack | Krabs
[15:52] <sl33k_> what does ~/ mean?
[15:52] <ZykoticK9> Ub3r-N00b, milamber's suggestion is still a GUI login, if you want a true text only login see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/boot-to-console---disable-graphical-login-gdm
[15:52] <goltoof> milamber:  not seeing that option (10.10)  :s
[15:52] <Ringolas> milamber: What to do next?
[15:52] <_joey> goltoof: chrome has been around for 2 years and it's already has taken 3rd place as the most used web browser. About 14% of users are using it
[15:53] <gobbe> sl33k_: your homefolder
[15:53] <_joey> I think it is going to overtake ff
[15:53] <_joey> it is open source under permissive BSD license
[15:53] <goltoof> !who
[15:54] <BluesKaj> well chromeium better get it's font act together if it's going to be used on large monitors , they don't integrate with gtk or kde

[15:55] <pavanai> how to connect android 2.1 to ubuntu
[15:55] <Ringolas> Hehe, everybody asks milamber. Nobody else with knowledge?
[15:55] <sandeep__> hello
[15:55] <goltoof> pavanai:  you can install android sdk, for starters
[15:55] <induz> there is already a folder under Wine
[15:56] <Myrtti> pavanai: what do you mean with "connect to ubuntu"
[15:56] <Ringolas> milamber: What's my next step?
[15:56] <pavanai> i want to cconnect tto internet using dell xcd28
[15:57] <goltoof> pavanai:  if you mean use your phone for mass storage or tethering, your phone should ask how you want it to connect when you plug it in
[15:57] <milamber> Ringolas: gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible  and uncheck the 'volumes visible' option
[15:57] <pavanai> i got no option such as tethering
[15:57] <induz> my permission deinied when i give this command on terminal $sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[15:57] <goltoof> pavanai:  hmm, mine does.. but i never actually tried tethering
[15:58] <gobbe> induz: did you type your password?
[15:58] <Ringolas> milamber: Should I write that in the console?
[15:58] <milamber> Ringolas: yes
[15:58] <induz> yes I typed the password
[15:58] <Myrtti> pavanai: that is because you've got 2.1 - you have very limited options of how to tether with that
[15:59] <gobbe> induz: can you take copypaste/screenshot from it?
[15:59] <Bravewolf> latest update of lucid breaks "kde-l10n-engb" "kde-l10n-it"
[15:59] <pavanai> gooltoof,i got no option like ttethering
[15:59] <induz> msttcorefonts are already installed via symnteck
[15:59] <Bravewolf> is there a way to fix it?
[15:59] <goltoof> pavanai:  as Myrtti stated it's because you're on 2.1
[15:59] <goltoof> pavanai:  mine's 2.2

[16:00] <ZykoticK9> !anyone > royale1223
[16:01] <Myrtti> pavanai: that's something that is dependant on your mobile phone, and has very little or nothing to do with Ubuntu
[16:01] <Ringolas> milamber: What wen't wrong
[16:01] <Cradam> i wish i could get a free ubuntu disk, but the only 1's in the library are 7.10
[16:01] <pavanai> royale1223,Wts ur prrblm?
[16:01] <gobbe> induz: you have already application open which is accessing dpkg
[16:01] <Ringolas> I wrote gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop volume_visible
[16:01] <ZykoticK9> Cradam, download it for free.  Or you could try ShipIt
[16:01] <Myrtti> pavanai: alternatively you can buy an application that enables tethering.
[16:02] <goltoof> pavanai:  i wish i knew, but i never needed to tether.. you might get more answers in #android
[16:02] <royale1223> pavanai, i cant install it
[16:02] <induz> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[16:02] <induz> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[16:02] <goltoof> Myrtti:  i believe there are a few free tethering apps
[16:02] <kaddi> if I do a dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc and that finishes successfully, but when I try to mount any of the partitions I get errors such as "mount: special device /dev/sdc5 does not exist"
[16:02] <Guest67138> Hi
[16:02] <kaddi> what can have gone wrong? and is it fixable?
[16:02] <gobbe> induz: yes. what are those lines after that?
[16:02] <induz> i dont have any application running now
[16:02] <Cradam> thanks zykotick9

[16:40] <PerSeL> qubozik: 10.10
[16:40] <qubozik> PerSeL: Are you talking about removing the wireless network from Ubuntu's netowrk manager? Or are you talking baout disconnecting and rebooting you actual router hardware?

[16:42] <PerSeL> botcity: it's not internet problem or router because it's working very well with all other computer and on this computer when I boot windows
[16:42] <rs0832> royale1223, did you add any ppa's? (system menu>administration>software sources)
[16:43] <llutz_> sl33k_: read "man bash" or use forums where that should be explained. also bash-prompting-howto

[16:47] <qubozik> PerSeL: OK. So your wireless connection will cut out occasionally and to get it back you have to remove the connection and re-add it? Have you verified that you do not loose your connection on any other computers?
[16:47] <goltoof> tannerando:  cd /var/logs ... cat log

[16:49] <PerSeL> qubozik: I'm not sure as it's a laptop vaio vgn cr 123e, I will try to google for it's wireless chip
[16:50] <qubozik> PerSeL: OK. How did you install it? Did it work out of the box after installing Ubuntu or does it use the "restricted drivers"?
[16:50] <PerSeL> qubozik: I didn't install any drivers just installed ubuntu
[16:50] <qubozik> OK
[16:50] <royale1223> rs0832, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550729/
[16:51] <geeknik> Good morning.
[16:51] <erUSUL> lynxsys: i spect tftp servers in unix to use the system facilities for login ( syslog) so their messages will en up in /var/log/syslog /var/log/daemon.log or some specific log file there. all those log files can be whatched with « tail -f /var/log/whatever »
[16:51] <PerSeL> qubozik: Original - Intel® Wireless WiFI Link 4965AGN it what sony site says in drivers list for windows
[16:51] <lynxsys> erUSUL: thanks
[16:52] <qubozik> PerSeL: Try to open up System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers and see if any additional drivers are listed for your wireless card.
[16:52] <tannerando> I've gotten to /var/log now what?
[16:52] <qubozik> PerSeL: Ah. ok Yeah you shouldn't need restricted  drivers for that
[16:52] <PerSeL> qubozik: there is no drivers for my laptop in the list
[16:52] <rs0832> royale1223, ok lets try removing the ppa's ... can you pastebin the file /etc/apt/sources.list.save
[16:53] <qubozik> PerSeL: Do you have Windows installed as well? Or any way to test the laptop with another OS to verify it isn't hardware related?
[16:53] <No_Sh-it_Friend> i whant to talkto the main person here!
[16:53] <No_Sh-it_Friend> ?
[16:53] <PerSeL> qubozik: I used windows for 3 years I just installed ubuntu like 10 days ago

[16:57] <Winkie> however, /etc/init/statd.conf doesn't even seem to be unpacked
[16:57] <rs0832> royale1223, does this happen to all packages or only this one?

[16:58] <othman> i have a problime in vertual box can anyone help plesase
[16:58] <Winkie> erUSUL: it does use upstart, but it doesn't seem to unpack the upstart script
[16:58] <Winkie> which would be /etc/init/statd.conf

[16:59] <rs0832> royale1223, can you install aptitude?
[16:59] <PerSeL> qubozik: yeah I made all simple things, I have ubuntu installed on an old computer, I know all the simple things that I have to do with it
[16:59] <compdoc> othman, whats the problem?
[17:00] <royale1223> rs0832, i think the problem is with libqt files
[17:00] <botcity> PerSeL: is the laptop close to hand and on ?
[17:00] <othman> i cant start vertualbox anymore it says "home/vbox/vbox-4.0.0/src/VBox/Main/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[518] (nsresult VirtualBox::init())."
[17:00] <PerSeL> botcity: what do you mean?
[17:00] <rs0832> royale1223, apparently, some files are missing

[17:01] <royale1223> rs0832, lemme c
[17:01] <erUSUL> e01: launch the programs that expect a /dev/dsp like this « padsp programname »

[17:02] <HaPK_PerCar> I can't update my Ubuntu... this is what appears: Failed to fetch http://co.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libt/libtextcat/libtextcat-data-utf8_2.2-4_all.deb 404  Not Found. What can I do?
[17:02] <botcity> PerSeL: are you using it now or are you using another machine
[17:02] <erUSUL> HaPK_PerCar: wait? maybe is temporary issue with mirror sync
[17:02] <PerSeL> botcity: I'm using it now, and I hope I won't disc
[17:03] <HaPK_PerCar> erUSUL, so I only have to wait? hmmm
[17:03] <qubozik> PerSeL: I'm not sure how to help you then. Sounds like it could be a general kernel bug. I suggest you search the internet for issues with that wireless chipset and Ubuntu 10.10. If you cannot find anything I suggest you run windows to verify it is not hardware related as hardware can go quirky at any time even though you just used it 10 days ago. After that you can try to file a bug on launchpad
[17:03] <qubozik> PerSeL: Sorry I couldn't help you further
[17:03] <HaPK_PerCar> erUSUL, thing is, I haven't updated in a while, this could be an issue...
[17:04] <PerSeL> qubozik: how do I lunch a bug?
[17:04] <e01> erUSUL, thanks, it work
[17:04] <aeon-ltd> !bugs
[17:04] <qubozik> PerSeL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[17:05] <qubozik> PerSeL: Or what ubottu says
[17:06] <PerSeL> qubozik: what is ubottu?
[17:06] <vincent_> can you mount a usb?
[17:06] <qubozik> PerSeL: It is a person (bot rather) in the chatroom
[17:07] <qubozik> !bug
[17:07] <qubozik> PerSeL: Right above me
[17:07] <PerSeL> qubozik: thanks didn't pay attention to him
[17:07] <botcity> PerSeL: perhaps you could open a terminal and keep dmesg running until it happens again.
[17:08] <othman> i cant start vertualbox anymore it says "home/vbox/vbox-4.0.0/src/VBox/Main/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[518] (nsresult VirtualBox::init())."
[17:08] <qubozik> PerSeL: No problem. Hope you get your wireless sorted out
[17:08] <qubozik> PerSeL: Listen to botcity too
[17:08] <IdleOne> othman: try asking in #virtualbox
[17:08] <vincent_> it's a simple question: can you mount a usb?
[17:08] <PerSeL> botcity: how do I dmesg?
[17:09] <qubozik> PerSeL: You may be able to see system error that occurs when your wireless dies. THis owuld be useful in the bug ticket should you create one
[17:09] <delinquentme> hey all i had a quick question with regards to security ... does the # of open ports really contribute to the security of a system? or the lack thereof?
[17:09] <PerSeL> qubozik: how do I do this in terminal?
[17:10] <PerSeL> what should I write there?
[17:10] <botcity> open a terminal type : dmesg | tail -f   and wait
[17:10] <qubozik> PerSeL: Yes. Open terminal and run "dmesg" without quotes
[17:10] <SwedeMike> delinquentme: it's not the number of open ports, it's the number of different applications listening to them. One application with 64000 ports open is less of a problem than 1000 applications with a single port each
[17:10] <SwedeMike> delinquentme: basically you want to not have things you don't need running.
[17:10] <qubozik> PerSeL: Do what botcity said
[17:11] <qubozik> PerSeL: His way will show you logs as they happen mine will only display the latest logs
[17:11] <delinquentme> SwedeMike, ok thanks .. so ive got a mini issue on my hands
[17:11] <delinquentme> this is the first time ive requested for ports to be forwarded
[17:11] <luxurymode> hey all, im having errors in my update manager http://pastie.org/1431578 started when i installed a theme. guess i need to uninstall the theme? I'd prefer not to...
[17:11] <delinquentme> and im not sure that i NEED 40 ports? but its freaking out the tech advisor to one of the head dudes
[17:12] <PerSeL> botcity: I did that and what should I do with that paste it?
[17:12] <dev^null> hey all I am running ubuntu desktop karamic and I want to replace the boot screen that just shows the Ubuntu icon where is this located I cannot seem to find it or any documentation on it anywhere
[17:13] <qubozik> PerSeL: No. Just let it run in the background. Then check the last message right when your wireless go out. The last entry may hint at your problem with your wireless
[17:13] <PerSeL> how it's running in the background it just displayed me some text in the terminal
[17:14] <botcity> PerSeL: the messages are from the kernel .. i suggest doing some surfing then when it breaks check the messages
[17:14] <Visuex> dev^null, are you wanting to customize the look of your boot screen?
[17:14] <qubozik> PerSeL: Yes, but everytime a new event happens it will show up in the logs.
[17:14] <qubozik> PerSeL: On your terminal
[17:14] <m_rk> hello, can anyone help me burn an .iso file as a single file in 10.4 please? I've tried Brasero but it burns the  .iso as multiple files.
[17:14] <vincent_> why is it not possible to mount a usb?
[17:15] <dev^null> yes but Not the one that says "Ubuntu" with the icon just the one that shows the icon and covers all the dmesg info
[17:16] <Visuex> vincent_, it is possible
[17:16] <vincent_> how then Visuex?
[17:16] <vincent_> it is shown in lsusb that there's something, now I just want to mount it.. how?
[17:17] <dev^null> Vincent_ are you looking to mount a thumb drive every time your system boots or what?
[17:17] <xiven> Do most new-comers to Ubuntu/Linux these days know how to install patches?
[17:17] <Visuex> dev^null, this website http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/customize-boot-splash-screen-logo-linux/ and also check out this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy#Changing%20the%20Gnome%20Splash%20Screen for help with customizing the boot screen
[17:17] <vincent_> what is a thumb drive?
[17:17] <dev^null> a flash drive
[17:17] <xiven> vincent_: Is that a real question?
[17:17] <vincent_> dev^null I've got this really cheap digital camera and it's hooked on to my USB port now
[17:17] <dev^null> a usb stick
[17:17] <Visuex> usb drive = thumb drive = flash drive
[17:17] <feanor2> vincent_, a small flash memory removable drive
[17:18] <goltoof> vincent_:  requires a lot of skill, you have to stear, shift, and signal with thumbs
[17:18] <goltoof> vincent_:  quite pointless really
[17:18] <Visuex> that is different vincent_ ....you can look on the manufac website to see if they support linux...they might not
[17:18] <vincent_> guys, how do I mount this cheap digital camera of mine?
[17:18] <feanor2> xiven, patching sources is easy, why do you ask?
[17:18] <goltoof> vincent_:  does it have a usb port?
[17:18] <goltoof> vincent_:  or an internal memory card?
[17:19] <goltoof> ie, microsd
[17:19] <Visuex> goltoof, good point...sd would probably be easier
[17:19] <vincent_> their website is in chinese or japanese
[17:19] <Visuex> http://google.com/translate
[17:20] <crawler> google translator does web pages
[17:20] <pozic> How can I save all jpg files in a directory with lower quality (specified by file size)?
[17:20] <Visuex> does it have removable media like an sd card or microsd?
[17:20] <m_rk> I may have phrased it badly, earlier, but is it possible to burn an .iso file as a single file in 10.4 at all?
[17:20] <Visuex> pozic why do you want to decrease the quality
[17:20] <r2wj> doctormo here?
[17:20] <pozic> Visuex: because I have to mail it.
[17:20] <feanor2> can someone recommend GUI diff/merge tool and text editor with customizable spell checking?
[17:21] <xiven> I'm heavily considering doing some part-time bug-fixing and/or extension development, and I wanted to make sure it would be easy enough for newbies to apply them (plugins are simple, but I haven't been sure patches were)
[17:21] <qubozik> pozic: Probably would use ImageMagick
[17:21] <Visuex> email it to someone and the archive is too big to fit in the email?

[17:21] <PerSeL> qubozik: botcity: could it be some kind of firewall in ubuntu?
[17:21] <dev^null> Visuex, This is what i am trying to change http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/Article-Images/karmic-article-image01.png&imgrefurl=http://www.packtpub.com/article/what-is-new-in-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala&usg=__H8aiQxCFbmz5G1wd5V2kun468Wc=&h=375&w=458&sz=14&hl=en&start=18&sig2=K-_43p7phc568jAsC-UfQw&zoom=1&tbnid=oY6PDmbKt__-tM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=154&ei=mKgkTeqFBMaenAeIrpGBAg&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dubuntu%2Bboot%2B

[17:21] <Visuex> feanor2 I love gedit for editing but for diff/merg Meld is my fav
[17:21] <FloodBot4> dev^null: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:22] <qubozik> PerSeL: Not likely. It owuld not work at all if that were the case.
[17:22] <dev^null> oops long link sorry..
[17:22] <Myrtti> xiven: why not contribute to upstream and let Ubuntu package management to take care of the application updates?
[17:22] <pavanai> how to complie libreoffice source code
[17:22] <dev^null> Visuex, here is the correct link http://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/Article-Images/karmic-article-image01.png
[17:22] <qubozik> PerSeL: Also you would prob be able to recreate when you wireless fails if it were something like a firewall issue
[17:22] <pavanai> myrtti:i got my mobile connected to ubuntu
[17:22] <xiven> Well, in some cases I may decide not to wait for official package management to roll something out.
[17:22] <i2> Hello, can you help me please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/550740/
[17:22] <m_rk> the idea to try Mono to run a .net frame CD burn does not work
[17:22] <qubozik> PerSeL: Sounds like it is too random to be a firewall type issue
[17:22] <dev^null> Visuex, what you sent me was to change xsplash and I already did that.
[17:23] <Visuex> oh ok
[17:23] <PerSeL> qubozik: if I disc from the connection it;s not helping, I have to delete it then it works
[17:23] <pavanai> myrtti:downloaded easytether
[17:23] <Visuex> pozic are you trying to email large files that are too large to email?
[17:24] <xiven> Though, contribution to upstream is how I'll submit anything I do with Pidgin, or Empathy.
[17:24] <Myrtti> xiven: no, patches and compiling something from scratch isn't really even supported - if people are capable of recompiling after patching they're pretty much expected to be able to help themselves after that - which is why I suggested that contributing the patches upstream is the best way
[17:24] <vincent_> I'm getting fat :(
[17:24] <crawler> lol
[17:24] <Myrtti> pavanai: great
[17:24] <vincent_> crawler you lolling at me?
[17:25] <crawler> *unlol*
[17:25] <pavanai> myrtti:do u know how to compile libre office source code?
[17:25] <Myrtti> pavanai: no.
[17:25] <xiven> I guess I had assumed that many application plugins were applied via patches.
[17:25] <pavanai> myrtti:ok
[17:25] <Visuex> pozic, I think images should be as big as possible but I see how that can be an issue but there are many websites that are made for just that. My fav 2 are www.MegaUpload.com and www.MegaShares.com - upload an archive of the pictures and then send the download link in the email then there is no need to resize.
[17:26] <xiven> Just to be clear, contributions to upstream can be submitted via email, or server upload correct?
[17:26] <Myrtti> xiven: depending on the project, I would suggest you check their websites for details
[17:27] <qubozik> PerSeL: Yeah it sounds like the connection gets lost but it still lingers and never disconnected correctly. Thats why you have to specifically remove it and re create it
[17:28] <jg47hm> im trying to open a .txt file and i get the message (do you want to run 'name_of.txt' is an executable text file ) and i heve run in terminal, run, desplay, cansel option. how to fix it?
[17:28] <qubozik> PerSeL: It is an odd problem
[17:29] <feanor2> pavanai, i'm sure documentfoundation site has some instructions or code iself
[17:29] <Visuex> dev^null, sorry dude I have never heard of anyone wanting to do that so I dont know where that would be
[17:29] <pavanai> feanor2:thnx i'l chk it
[17:29] <botcity> PerSeL: if you can recreate the problem , the kernel should spit out a message that could help us pinpoint the cause!!
[17:29] <feanor2> jg47hm, if it's on NTFS partition, use mount option to make only exe com bat executables
[17:30] <dev^null> Visuex, ok np thankx for your help
[17:30] <pavanai> feanor2:i run ./configure but i got an error saying that requirement not met
[17:30] <botcity> PerSeL: in theory!
[17:30] <pika_> hello
[17:30] <PerSeL> botcity: qubozik: ok I got something i run in the terminal what you told me and waiting for another dc.
[17:30] <Visuex> feanor2, meld working for ya?
[17:30] <feanor2> pavanai, of course, because you probably nned a shitload of libraries
 my file system is  ext4
[17:31] <feanor2> Visuex, gonna test it
[17:31] <feanor2> jg47hm, then make it *not* executable
[17:31] <pavanai> feanor2: i've that tar file also can i do something with thst?
[17:31] <qubozik> PerSeL: Great
[17:31] <qubozik> PerSeL: Hopefully that will help you out
[17:31] <Visuex> feanor2, there doesn't seem to be a mod in here so it wont matter this time but in the future watch your language as they will ban you quite quickly
[17:32] <feanor2> which tar file?
 thank you very much
[17:32] <pika_> My USB port don't recognize any hardware, can someone help me ?
[17:33] <Jamesuperfun> ok i would but
[17:33] <Jamesuperfun> i suck with terminal
[17:33] <Jamesuperfun> so i will
[17:33] <Visuex> pika_, have your tried a simple flash drive and see if it recognizes that?
[17:33] <Jamesuperfun> but i cant promise ill be much good
[17:33] <Jamesuperfun> ah there we go nvm
[17:33] <xiven> Ok. The only projects I'm currently considering helping with are: Pidgin, Empathy, and XChat; and possibly Kopete, Firefox, and VTiger.
[17:34] <Visuex> xiven are you a coder?
[17:34] <xiven> I'd help with Ubuntu directly, but somehow I think I'd be to rusty.
[17:35] <administrator_> i press the tray button and it not open (maybe is a hardware problem). how to open it from ubuntu?
[17:35] <xiven> By choice yes....though I haven't been able to actually write code in a while.
[17:36] <crawler> administrator, in a terminal type eject
[17:36] <Visuex> xiven ahh ok...I know of two projects that could use an extra hand... uGet (download manager) and WebCamStudio (awesome webcam streaming software)
[17:36] <rethus1> how did i get a analoge clock on gnome desktop (and some other applets)?
[17:37] <xiven> I can guarantee I'd be no help for cam software.
[17:37] <crawler> rethus1: look at screenlets, or desklets
[17:37] <rethus1> have installed screenlets, but could'nt do anything on the desktop (right click)
[17:37] <rethus1> how does i start sreenlets?
[17:37] <administrator_> is there any command or smth to open the tray from ubuntu?
[17:37] <xiven> uGet, I suppose it would really depend on just how rusty I've become.
[17:37] <crawler> administrator_: i already told you
[17:38] <crawler> rethus it should be in your menu under applications > accessories
[17:38] <Visuex> xiven ahh ok...well these aren't my projects I just use them and each have a team of one
[17:38] <crawler> rethus, you can also start screenlets from the terminal
[17:38] <xiven> Though, I think I'd want to try it before I started any development.
[17:38] <rethus1> yes, great, thanks
  it is not working
[17:39] <Visuex> xiven certainly understandable
[17:39] <crawler> administrator_: can you eject from a nautilus window?  navigate to computer:/// and right-click the drive and eject
[17:40] <Visuex> I can code but I learned windows and web so I am basically starting over with linux coding...
[17:40] <xiven> Visuex: I assume uGet is either GTK, or XUL based?
 i go to the computer and i right click on CD/DVD Drive but there is no option eject
[17:42] <Nanoha> what does "gdbm fatal: read error" mean?
[17:42] <israfil> hello, i have got a problem. I did "sudo update.grub" and now i can not log on to the new kernel. I have Ubuntu Lucid and Kubuntu Hardy Heron. Hardy Herons Kernel was updated and i cannot log in there.
[17:42] <crawler> administrator_: there are also some switches for the eject command, run eject --help ... try also eject -r .. or maybe eject -s
[17:42] <israfil> Can you help me?
[17:42] <israfil> my GRUB is from Lucid
 let me try
[17:42] <pozic> When I use convert some options * it only converts some files, not all.
[17:42] <Visuex> xiven its gtk
[17:43] <Visuex> pozic I think images should be as big as possible but I see how that can be an issue but there are many websites that are made for just that. My fav 2 are www.MegaUpload.com and www.MegaShares.com - upload an archive of the pictures and then send the download link in the email then there is no need to resize.
[17:43] <pozic> Isn't there some _working_ tool?
[17:43] <slipttees> Hello all
[17:43] <pozic> Visuex: that is not a solution, stop spamming.
[17:43] <xiven> Okay,. Well, if I do help any, I'll have to do some learning my self; it's been so long since I touched any gtk, I'm not sure I remember anything, heh.
[17:43] <Visuex> it is a solution completely...and not spamming in anyway you should learn the definition
[17:43] <slipttees> i have ubuntu server 8.04.2, my ethernet (eth1) local burn fire =]
[17:44] <Pici> pozic: use mogrify if you're trying to modify multiple files at once.
[17:44] <Visuex> xiven dude is planning to jump to gtk3 whenever it is stable
[17:44] <rethus1> crawler: i start gdesklet, but the window is empty
[17:44] <slipttees> iam change for new, same model etc, and now every reboot, a have new mac adress
[17:44] <pozic> Visuex: it is an unsollicited message; it's spam.
[17:44] <christopher_> hi guys, is there anyone here who is willing to try to help me out with a little issue I'm having with Virtualmin's FTP on an Ubuntu Server? I can't seem to successfully restrict them to an FTP folder - they always have permission to view all the trees above home :(
 the right option is eject -r but when in try it i get the message (eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error)
[17:44] <slipttees> =[
[17:45] <Visuex> it isnt as you asked for a way to email someone photos...why resize the photos when you dont have to and you can do something much easier with full quality...just makes most sense to me
[17:45] <slipttees> changes mac address after reboot =[
[17:45] <Visuex> I only sent it the second time because you didnt respond to the first...I dont work there or something
[17:45] <pozic> Visuex: ok, fine.
[17:46] <zacetnik> hello everybody
[17:46] <crawler> administrator_: try eject scd0 .. or maybe eject scd1
[17:46] <christopher_> Visuex, what did you send? :P
[17:46] <zacetnik> i need some help... any manuals for ubuntu 10.10 and multiseat?
[17:46] <zacetnik> *in gnome
[17:46] <pozic> Pici: in which package?
[17:46] <christopher_> zacetnik, you can get all the docs from ubuntu.com
[17:47] <zacetnik> i know but where? i found only for ubuntu 10.04 and older
[17:47] <Pici> pozic: Its part of imagemagick
[17:47] <othman> what happen with the flash in gamezer ? does anyone know ?
[17:47] <slipttees> i have ubuntu server 8.04.2, my ethernet (eth1) local burn fire =]
[17:47] <slipttees> changes mac address after reboot =[
[17:47] <slipttees> iam change for new, same model etc, and now every reboot, a have new mac adress
[17:48] <Geekneeus> slipttees: What is your question?
[17:48] <zacetnik> so there is no support for multiseat in ubuntu?
[17:48] <pozic> Pici: yeah, I just saw it. Sorry for asking :)
[17:48] <israfil> hello, i have got a problem. I did "sudo update.grub" and now i can not log on to the new kernel. I have Ubuntu Lucid and Kubuntu Hardy Heron. Hardy Herons Kernel was updated and i cannot log in there.
[17:48] <Pici> pozic: no problem :)
[17:48] <slipttees> Geekneeus: Mac address changes at reboot
[17:49] <israfil> it is only shown the screen where it says "Running local boot scripts [etc]"
[17:49] <slipttees> Geekneeus: every
[17:49] <crawler> pozic: looks like gThumb will batch convert
[17:49] <Geekneeus> slipttees: Do you have any scripts within preup of the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[17:49] <Myrtti> zacetnik: this channel offers support by volunteers, it may just be that nobody active at this very moment have no answers to give you. Please be patient, use other methods of searching help as forums and wiki/help pages, and ask again later
[17:50] <Visuex> christopher_, I have no idea what you are talking about
[17:50] <xiven> Oh come on guys! It seems to me he posted a link to a service to benefit another person. That isn't spamming! Spamming is more like if I posted a link to a sales page for viagra, lingerie, or bs like that.
[17:51] <slipttees> Geekneeus: static ip only
[17:51] <crawler> pozic: gThumb > Tools > Scale Images
[17:51] <Visuex> zacetnik, if there isnt a document for it in 10.10 but there is one for 10.04 then that means the 10.04 way still works in 10.10 they don't rewrite docs for each release...if it still works from an older version they just leave that one up
[17:51] <pozic> Pici: mogrify worked as advertised.
[17:51] <Pici> pozic: great
[17:52] <BluesKaj> !spam | Visuex, xiven
[17:52] <Visuex> xiven exactly and is a better solution to his problem but he didnt want to use it and that is perfectly fine...his choice
[17:52] <BluesKaj> heh, you guys are in luck the spambot is down for the count :)
[17:52] <Geekneeus> slipttees: I am not sure what your problem is but you could create a script that does ifconfig eth1 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00 where 00:00... is your desired mac
[17:52] <slipttees> Geekneeus: no ideia?
[17:52] <Myrtti> xiven, Visuex: move on
[17:53] <slipttees> hum.... maybe ethernet hardware problem??
[17:53] <Visuex> BluesKaj, Myrtti it isnt spam and I have as you may have noticed I started talking to zacetnik
[17:53] <Geekneeus> israfil: Try running update-grub again?
[17:53] <xiven> Hey now, all I did one post a single statement to his defense. If there WAS a problem, I surely wouldn't be part of it.
[17:53] <slipttees> Geekneeus: maybe....hardware problem?
[17:54] <Andre_Gondim> I installed one Windows software by Wine at netbook, how may I find it?
[17:54] <Geekneeus> israfil: though if it goes further than the grub menu then it's probably something else
[17:54] <Visuex> xiven no worries logic is lost on some
[17:54] <Visuex> Andre_Gondim, Applications -> Wine -> etc
[17:55] <Visuex> in the main menu at the top left
[17:55] <BluesKaj> Visuex, xiven , bah ...you guys have no sense of humour :)
[17:55] <Geekneeus> slipttees: Usually hardware comes with a predetermined mac address to my knowledge, I don't know for sure, but I don't see why it would be a hardware issue
[17:55] <Visuex> sometimes Wine is installed in System Tools but not often
[17:55] <prax> what is ubuntu ?
[17:55] <erUSUL> !ubuntu | prax
[17:55] <Ganymede> Isn't "xchat -a -e irc://server/channel" supposed to open the specified server and channel in existing xchat window? At least that what the man page says. For me, it just opens a brand new xchat and does nothing...anyone having this issue?
[17:56] <Visuex> BluesKaj, I do but sarcasm and such is really hard to detect in irc :)
[17:56] <slipttees> Geekneeus: reboot, create new line, other device eth** and new mac address in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[17:56] <Visuex> Ganymede, are you talking about clicking a link on a website for a new channel and then it opening in an existing window rather than creating a new window?
[17:57] <xiven> One who thinks spam is a joke is the fool who does not know the joke in which he is.
[17:57] <rs0832> Ganymede, are you sure you dont need to add the command you want? (-c)
[17:57] <slipttees> Geekneeus: now i have 10 eth =]~
[17:57] <xiven> You're humor is about as funny as that made-up quote.
[17:57] <Visuex> xiven Aristotle said that one right?
[17:58] <Ganymede> rs0832, I don't want to execute a specific command, I just want xchat to connect to the specified server and channel in an existing window...that is what the man page suggests the -a -e should do...
[17:58] <xiven> Maybe...I thought I made it up though
[17:58] <rs0832> Ganymede, -e and -a dont take arguments (the irc://server/channel)
[17:58] <sl33k_> how to browse anonimously on ubuntu?
[17:58] <pika_> hi, i'm here for one question with my USB
[17:58] <prax> what version  available in the market ?
[17:58] <Visuex> xiven lol never know people tend to talk alot
[17:58] <Ganymede> rs0832, the irc://server/channel isn't an argument to either -a or -e, it's the last option in the entire xchat command line
[17:59] <rs0832> Ganymede, try adding a --command=/connect <server> or something like that
[17:59] <Visuex> pika_, I am here with one answer although could be wrong
[17:59] <BluesKaj> Ganymede, whynot use a an irc client like quassel or empathy
[17:59] <sl33k_>  how to browse anonimously on ubuntu?
[17:59] <Geekneeus> sl33k_: Use Vidalia but it's not supported by Ubuntu and it's not proven to be anonymous
[17:59] <Visuex> BluesKaj, because xchat is awesome
[17:59] <uzi__> I need a help. Has anyone been successful building binutils & gcc combined tree?
[17:59] <rs0832> Ganymede, ah ok
[17:59] <aeon-ltd> !tor | sl33k_
[17:59] <slipttees> Geekneeus: random mac address after reboot
[18:00] <rs0832> Ganymede, does it open just the window? or does it connect to atleast the server
[18:00] <BluesKaj> Visuex, that's an exaggeration ..but you're entittled to be misinformed :)
[18:00] <Geekneeus> slipttees: I am aware of your issue, please be patient and somebody more suitable may be able to answer your question
[18:00] <slipttees> okay...sorry Geekneeus
[18:00] <Guest71563> Can anybody help me with X Server random freezes here?
[18:00] <Visuex> lol it very well could be...I dont like empathy for irc because it is an IM client...never heard of the other
[18:01] <Ganymede> rs0832, It appears to nothing at all...except print out some gtk warnings
[18:01] <Ganymede> rs0832, actually, those gtk warnings are irrelevant...
[18:01] <mohammad____> Can anybody help me with X Server random freezes here?
[18:01] <rs0832> Ganymede, so no window either?
[18:01] <DasEi> Guest71563: I'm not in for long now; check /var/log/syslog and /var/org/Xorg.0.log for hints
[18:02] <daharon> Hey guys, I'm a redhat guy and I'm trying to find out which versions of libvirt and qemu are available in ubuntu server 10.04 and 10.10.  Thinking about going ubuntu ATM and I need to know if I should use the latest release or if I can use the LTS.
[18:02] <Ganymede> rs0832, well the pre-existing window still exists
[18:02] <Ganymede> rs0832, but there is no new window
[18:02] <pika_> Visuex, ok, it's maybe to long to explain,my first language are not english,  but when I connect anything in my USB , they  don't be detected, and I need to reboot for detecting my hardware USB, LSUSB show me the hardware
[18:02] <daharon> I can't seem to find the package lists, though.
[18:02] <Visuex> so do you use quassel BluesKaj ?
[18:02] <sl33k_> what is gksudo gedit?
[18:02] <erUSUL> daharon: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[18:02] <Ganymede> rs0832, i tried xchat -a -e --command=/connect irc://server/name and also xchat -a -e --command="/connect irc://server/name". i should also specify that i must supply the URL in irc://server/name format since that's the format i'm getting from a script.
[18:02] <erUSUL> !info qemu | daharon
[18:02] <DasEi> Guest71563: system fully updated, which distro, any special hardware ?
[18:03] <Ganymede> rs0832, and there is no reason that format shouldn't be sufficient since it's the format described in the man page
[18:03] <erUSUL> !info qemu-kvm | daharon
[18:03] <rs0832> Ganymede, same thing happens to me
[18:03] <Visuex> pika_, have you tried a flash drive to see if it is detected (most of the time those work regardless of brand)
[18:03] <sl33k_> what is gksdo gedit?
[18:03] <erUSUL> !info qemu-kvm lucid | daharon
[18:03] <daharon> erUSUL: thanks.  I guess I'm going with 10.10, then.
[18:04] <erUSUL> daharon: good luck
[18:04] <davekathy> My printer can print a test page, but when I try printing a pdf, it hangs at "processing". Any clue what to do?
[18:04] <sl33k_> what is gksudo gedit?
[18:04] <Visuex> sl33k_, I think you mean gksu or gksudo that is how you run apps as root
[18:04] <maco> sl33k_: opens gedit (The text editor) as the super user
[18:04] <Ganymede> BlueEagle, it's not really a question of which IRC client i prefer, but rather how to interpret xchat's man page to understand its command-line interface
[18:04] <Nanoha> why are there only two versions of Ubuntu...ever?  like we only have 9.04 or 9.10.  10.04 or 10.10.  Why?
[18:05] <BluesKaj> Visuex, actually no , I konversation , but quassel has become very popular, so i thought I'd mention it ..konverstaion requires a lot of kde-libs which some gtk purists find offensive :)
[18:05] <uzi__> davekathy: check permissions of the printer executables. I had the same problem last time.
[18:05] <GeekSquid> davekathy: http://localhost:631 will give you a little more control over CUPS/printing
[18:05] <pika_> Visuex, every hardware was detected before,  but after i have tryed a NDISWRAPPER method for installing an USB-WIFI driver hardware,after all my hardware usb don't be detected
[18:05] <DasEi> Nanoha: lts and development releases
[18:05] <DasEi> !lts
[18:05] <Visuex> lol BluesKaj I'm not a purist but I tend to prefer not to mix the two :)
[18:05] <davekathy> uzi__: Where are the printer executables located and what are they called
[18:05] <sl33k_> why is sudo needed before apt-get or aptitude?
[18:06] <maco> Visuex: i use quassel. adding on to what BluesKaj said, there are two versions of quassel in the repos. one uses kde libraries, while the other is pure qt
[18:06] <Visuex> you have to be root in order to install anything
[18:06] <Visuex> or run updates
[18:06] <GeekSquid> !sudo | sl33k_
[18:06] <Nanoha> ah, okay.  so how long is the *.10 version good for?
[18:06] <rs0832> Ganymede, for me, it opens a new window
[18:06] <BluesKaj> Visuex, I use both actaully , but it can clutter the apps list/menus
[18:06] <DasEi> Nanoha: see above, 3 years
[18:06] <Ganymede> rs0832, does anything happen in that new window?
[18:06] <maco> sl33k_: because non-admin users can't edit system files. thatd be /awful/ for security, and installing/removing/changing software is an example of changing system files
[18:06] <Visuex> maco interesting thanks for the info
[18:06] <DasEi> !natty | Nanoha:
[18:07] <Pici> DasEi, Nanoha: no. 10.10 is supported for 18 months.
[18:07] <rs0832> Ganymede, nope.. just a new window in addition to the old one
[18:07] <Nanoha> okay.18 months.
[18:07] <DasEi> Nanoha: see above, right
[18:07] <Ganymede> rs0832, so...still no solution on how to open irc:// via xchat from the command line?
[18:07] <Pici> Nanoha: Please take a look at the following link, as we have more than just 2 releases of Ubuntu currently supported: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[18:07] <rs0832> Ganymede, m checking
[18:08] <pr3zident> i have a ubuntu netbook and a ubuntu desktop i want to be able to control, and send files to my desktop is this possible and if so how do i go about doing this ?
[18:08] <DasEi> Guest71563: ?
[18:08] <uzi__> davekathy: i'm not very sure, but check under /usr/lib/cups
[18:08] <Visuex> Ganymede, why do you want to use terminal for that?
[18:08] <erUSUL> pr3zident: set up a shared folder in one of the machines?
[18:08] <davekathy> should they be 770?
[18:08] <esperegu> anyone knows if it's possible to have a computer request a website and have another computer connected to the first one (with a browser) and have it shown the exact same content of the first pc that connects to the site?
[18:08] <slipttees> Geekneeus: okay...pay new Ethernet =]
[18:08] <BluesKaj> maco, i'm not anti quassel , but it's "look" isn't my cuppa tea
[18:08] <erUSUL> pr3zident: right click on a folder choose sharing options
[18:08] <pr3zident> ok
[18:08] <davekathy> uzi__: should they be 770?
[18:08] <erUSUL> !samba | pr3zident
[18:09] <Visuex> pr3zident, dropbox.com erUSUL is right though that works too
[18:09] <Ganymede> rs0832, the solution is probably to use --url=irc://blah/blah although that would mean the man page is incorrect
[18:09] <maco> BluesKaj: meh preferences. you're not the only konversation user i know :)
[18:09] <rs0832> Ganymede, yes.. xchat -h doesnt say anything about the url...not sure if it is significant
[18:09] <BluesKaj> maco, :)
[18:09] <erUSUL> Visuex: why go to the internet f both machines are in a LAN?
[18:09] <pr3zident> ok thanx im going to try those is their ne way i can control my desktop from my netbook
[18:10] <Visuex> because maybe they arent in a lan at some point...he has a netbook afterall
[18:10] <rs0832> Ganymede, and the man page is 2 years old
[18:10] <davekathy> uzi__: I'm not sure what I'm looking for. would it be /usr/lib/cups/driver?
[18:10] <Visuex> if it was desktop to desktop then certainly dropbox wouldnt be needed but with a notebook or a netbook it is very convenient to be anywhere and still be synced
[18:11] <signpost> how do I give a certain process a readable name?
[18:11] <Ganymede> rs0832, well...that's kind of annoying...but at least i probably solved the issue
[18:11] <uzi__> davekathy: well, mine is under /usr/lib/cups/backend
[18:11] <signpost> say I have a pid, and I want to have that pid's name displayed in ps, wat do?
[18:11] <BluesKaj> Visuex, dropbox is great ..I've used it to share files with family
[18:11] <pika_> I have connected , a flash disk 4Go  +  bluetooth dongle + wifi dongle  ,    all hardware are visible in LSUSB  , but i don't know how to use it
[18:11] <rs0832> Ganymede, yep
[18:11] <Visuex> BluesKaj, maco if either of you are against xchat mind telling me why?
[18:11] <uzi__> signpost: ps -A | grep <pid>
[18:11] <Visuex> BluesKaj, agreed...love that program
[18:12] <signpost> uzi__: can't I give processes names somehow?
[18:12] <signpost> uzi__: but yeah, that does it
[18:12] <Visuex> pika_, have you tried uninstalling what messed it up?
[18:12] <davekathy> uzi__: I see mine I think. The permissions are -rwxr-xr-x root root
[18:12] <Egyptian1019> hey guys I have a problem that just came up after I did my first updates with a new install of ubuntu 10.10. During boot i get a message saying k10temp unreliable CPU thermal sensor; monitoring disabled.
[18:12] <jmyles> django
[18:12] <pika_> ok i'll try to uninstall ndiswrapper
[18:13] <uzi__> davekathy: well, it look ok. perhaps, the problem isn't there.
[18:13] <pr3zident> those were to mount windows
[18:13] <BluesKaj> Visuex, dunno , it's "clunky" , dunno how else to describe it , separate serverpages etc
[18:13] <davekathy> uzi__: Thanks anyway :)
[18:13] <pr3zident> lol this chat moves fast im trying to catch everything
[18:13] <wolfric> Does anyone know where i'd go for transmission documentation? There doesn't seem to be any out there other than the man pages
[18:13] <uzi__> davekathy: you could try checking the logs, under /var/log/cups
[18:13] <davekathy> uzi__: K :)
[18:14] <Nanoha> wolfric: What do you need to know?  I found what I needed using google
[18:14] <Visuex> the server pages is kind of annoying and I dont like how the tabs are not arrangeable but anything other than feel? Is it a resource hog or something or just feel (which is fine just wanting to clarify)
[18:14] <wolfric> Nanoha: differences between the daemon,cli and the gui
[18:14] <Hc96> hi! Which coding system is allowed for /etc/passwd?
[18:14] <Hc96> only ascii?
[18:14] <Visuex> pr3zident, still looking for file syncing?
[18:14] <Nanoha> ah.  I didn't know there was a daemon mode. LOL
[18:14] <pr3zident> yes
[18:14] <maco> Visuex: i find xchat's settings thing difficult to navigate, so back when i used gnome i used xchat-gnome.  BluesKaj and i just happen to be kde users though, so we use kde irc clients
[18:15] <pr3zident> file syncing and control of my desktop from my netbook
[18:15] <Egyptian1019> ah no one has had the same problem :/?
[18:15] <rs0832> royale1223,
[18:15] <dagni> yeah ;)
[18:15] <dagni> hi all
[18:15] <BluesKaj> Visuex, well I'm just used to konversation , it's easy to setup and has a simple interface
[18:15] <boomboomflynn> Can anyone help me out setting up an eggdrop server in Ubuntu?
[18:15] <Doinkle> boomboomflynn, wrong channel
[18:15] <Visuex> pr3zident, are you talking about remote sharing your desktop so you can see the desktop and everything from the netbook on the go or while at home?
[18:16] <pr3zident> on the go >
[18:16] <uzi__> !eggdrop
[18:16] <Visuex> BluesKaj, maco I see well thank you for the info...I'm not a kde user so I may stick with xchat for a bit
[18:16] <GeekSquid> pr3zident: consider teamviewer.com ... they have a version for linux
[18:16] <uzi__> what's an eggdrop server?
[18:16] <Egyptian1019> Can anyone help me with unreliable CPU thermal sensor error?
[18:16] <Visuex> I've actually gotten used to the settings/preferences in this app but yea crap is overly complicated lol
[18:17] <pr3zident> teamviewer ok im going to try this
[18:17] <rs0832> uzi__, an irc bot
[18:17] <erUSUL> uzi__: eggdrop is a irc bot
[18:17] <Visuex> pr3zident, teamviewer.com for the remote sharing as GeekSquid said and for file syncing try dropbox.com
[18:17] <uzi__> oh, ok.
[18:17] <pr3zident> Visuex thanx i will try
[18:17] <Visuex> pr3zident, there are other options for remote sharing but teamviewer is by far the easiest to setup and use
[18:18] <daharon> Hey guys, what is the Ubuntu equivalent of RedHat's kickstart?
[18:18] <GeekSquid> pr3zident: Visuex: teamviewer will also do file transfer 2 different modes
[18:18] <pr3zident> and will i be able to connect no matter when i am ?
[18:18] <Visuex> GeekSquid, true but I am pretty sure he wants file syncing rather than just simple transfers
[18:18] <GeekSquid> Visuex: so ubuntuone
[18:18] <Visuex> pr3zident, if you are on broadband of some kind yes as long as teamviewer is running on your desktop you can do so
[18:19] <pr3zident> ok let me try this now .. thanx Visuex and Geeksquid
[18:19] <Visuex> GeekSquid, yes that is an option as well and for him that would work but for me I am stuck with using windows for crap like Photoshop so I use dropbox to sync overall OSs
[18:20] <Visuex> which is why I suggest dropbox because you arent limited if for some reason in the future you start using another os
[18:20] <luciana> ciao
[18:20] <GeekSquid> Visuex: ubuntuone now has a windows client in beta
[18:21] <JohnThomson> ubuntu one works in blows anyway
[18:21] <sl33k_> how to install polipo from your favourite repository as mentioned here https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#polipo ?
[18:21] <bigbobbot> ?
[18:21] <osmosis> anyone know of a program that will organize my mp3 collection based on tag information?
[18:21] <pr3zident> im going to try drop box to because i also use windows and sometimes want to transfer files
[18:21] <fig_> Whenever I try and open up folders (which would normally be opened using nautilus) my media player (banshee) opens up instead. I can't change this option under preferred applications. Anyone know how to fix this?
[18:21] <pr3zident> w/o having to go to my desktop
[18:21] <Myrtti> osmosis: ex falso can do that among other similar applications
[18:21] <luciana> list
[18:21] <Visuex> pr3zident, there is a slight issue though....you have to edit the preferences in teamviewer and add a password before unattended sharing can be done
[18:21]  * Soyo has returned.
[18:22] <pr3zident> Visuex, ok and i have to install teamviewer on both computers right
[18:22] <Visuex> JohnThomson, what do you mean
[18:22] <sl33k_> how to install polipo from your favourite repository as mentioned here https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#polipo ?
[18:22] <Visuex> pr3zident, yes you need it on both
[18:22] <JohnThomson> *winblows, sorry, habit, windows
[18:23] <Visuex> lol JohnThomson ok
[18:23] <Visuex> teamviewer is also windows and osx compatible which is why it is awesome as it is complete cross platform...even works on smartphones :)
[18:24] <pr3zident> that's cool
[18:24] <JohnThomson> Btw, any chance anyone is available to help me with a Linux related project, no coding skill or anything like that required
[18:24] <Visuex> if the commercial version wasnt so freaking expensive I would certainly pay them for the app
[18:25] <Bipul> well i am fail to install ubuntu 10.04
[18:25] <Visuex> JohnThomson, guess it depends on what it is so explain it and maybe someone can
[18:25] <Bipul> on my computer
[18:25] <pr3zident> so what is limited on the free one Visuex ?
[18:25] <OerHeks> Visuex, but teamviewer is tru their server, do you trust that ?
[18:25] <bigbobbot> got a question. why does flashplayer seem to be stuck in fast play on Ubuntu 10.10
[18:25] <pr3zident> 0erHeks, so i would be sending files through their server
[18:25] <pr3zident> ?
[18:26] <JohnThomson> Trying to convert the UK government from windows to Linux (preferably, Ubuntu)
[18:26] <Bipul> can any one help me
[18:26] <Visuex> pr3zident, nothing is really limited actually it just shows a "thank you for using the free version of teamviewer" message and loads up a webpage after every usage
[18:26] <pr3zident> o ok
[18:26] <OerHeks> teamviewer is not open source, so what you do ? pr3zident
[18:26] <Visuex> OerHeks, yes and no but all of the screensharing programs are thru their servers so if you use any at all you are doing that...except if you setup vnc which is quite complicated
[18:27] <sl33k_> http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/ how to install this?
[18:27] <pr3zident> yeah ive tried vnc but it was complicated
[18:27] <Bipul> http://paste.ubuntu.com/550755/ i have this issue
[18:27] <Bipul> can any one help me
[18:27] <Doinkle> JohnThomson, #ubuntu-offtopic is better suited for that type of request.
[18:28] <JohnThomson> I've been passed back and forward between here and there :P
[18:28] <gobbe> Bipul: your cd/dvd is too scratchy
[18:28] <gobbe> Bipul: or is otherway broken
[18:28] <gobbe> Bipul: burn new
[18:28] <sl33k_> how to install this? noobie here http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/
[18:28] <Doinkle> JohnThomson, try here then:   www.reddit.com/r/linux
[18:28] <Bipul> well i now on through my cd
[18:28] <Visuex> pr3zident, OerHeks I use teamviewer and it is recommended by a lot of app reviewers so it cant be that bad :) but I have used it for a while with no big issues
[18:28] <Doinkle> this channel is meant for support JohnThomson :/
[18:28] <nishttal2> HI I just installed Ubuntu 10.10.. I have a Solid State drive in the system that I want auto-mounted on every reboot.. how can this be done?
[18:28] <Bipul> i am runing my ubuntu through CD  gobbe
[18:28] <pr3zident> VIsuex cool
[18:28] <Visuex> I actually dont use the file transfers though so dont know about that
[18:28] <JohnThomson> Okey :)
[18:29] <Bipul> so how can CD have issue ?
[18:29] <gobbe> sl33k_: download the package, untar it and run configure and make to build it
[18:29] <mbvpixies78> Hi everyone
[18:29] <Doinkle> pr3zident, is all you want is a secure file transfer method?
[18:29] <gobbe> nishttal2: yes, you can add it to /etc/fstab
[18:29] <gobbe> nishttal2: and then it will be automounted
[18:29] <pr3zident> Doinkle and control of my desktop from my netbook
[18:29] <gobbe> Bipul: well, you need to burn new one
[18:29] <nishttal2> gobbe, i dont want to make changes to files manually.. is there an interface to do this?
[18:29] <Visuex> Bipul, what? how can cd have issue? I dont understand what you are having problems with
[18:30] <Doinkle> pr3zident, if you don't want teamviewer's nag screen.  look into VNC over SSH.  yeah it might be complicated to you at first, but learning how to do that is worthwhile
[18:30] <mbvpixies78> Question:  I installed updates and now my screen res is stuck at 640x480.  How do I get it back to 1920x1080?  I did this before but I forgot how and lost the notes.
[18:30] <gobbe> nishttal2: no idea, in linux you have to do every now and then changes by hand to files
[18:30] <goltoof> whats the command to toggle terminal colors?
[18:30] <goltoof> hotkey
[18:30] <pr3zident> Doinkle is the screen much of a problem ?
[18:30] <goltoof> or cmd
[18:30] <Bipul> Visual`,  i have issue with installation
[18:31] <Doinkle> mbvpixies78, never happened to me, but deleting the xorg.conf(?) file will reset it.  maybe someone else can elaborate
[18:31] <nishttal2> gobbe, can you please tell me what exactly to write then
[18:31] <Doinkle> pr3zident, i dont undrstand your question
[18:31] <gobbe> Bipul: well there's no way to fix it. you need to burn new one
[18:31] <Bipul> i can't able to install ubuntu10.04 as right now i am runing ubuntu 10.04  VIA cd
[18:31] <gobbe> nishttal2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[18:31] <Doinkle> goltoof, WINDOWS +N key?
[18:31] <Pe3k> hello, I have ubuntu 10.10 on hp nc6320 and it does not recognise lid button, cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/C238/state gives always state:      open  ...any idea?
[18:31] <nishttal2> gobbe, looking.. thanks
[18:31] <pr3zident> you said if i don't want the nag screen ... i'm asking would it stop me from doing what i want to do ?
[18:32] <mbvpixies78> Doinkle:  ok thanks, maybe a second opinion from anyone
[18:32] <gobbe> nishttal2: if you have questions, feel free to ask :)
[18:32] <Visuex> Doinkle, you need to point out that vnc is very complicated especially to linux beginners even if they are tech savvy - teamviewer is for ease of use but ssh certainly would be more secure
[18:32] <Doinkle> pr3zident, nag screen in teamviewer is what i meant
[18:32] <pr3zident> oo ok
[18:32] <mbvpixies78> where's xorg.conf again?
[18:32] <goltoof> Doinkle: no, but that's kinda cool :P
[18:32] <Visuex> pr3zident, the nag screen on teamviewer only shows after the session is ended so it doesnt interfere at all
[18:32] <Doinkle> Visuex, i did point out vnc was complex, i also added it was worth learning about ;)
[18:32] <goltoof> Doinkle:  i mean the syntax
[18:32] <pr3zident> Visuex, cool with me
[18:32] <fujioka> How do you fix a GPG error for software repos? It looks like one is missing.
[18:32] <goltoof> Doinkle: or colors for files, folders, etc
[18:33] <Visuex> might be and at first is misleading is what I meant :) its a certainty lol
[18:33] <Doinkle> goltoof, i use gnome terminal myself, and customized that.  i got used to gnome term
[18:33] <Visuex> Doinkle, but certainly worth it for sure
[18:33] <goltoof> Doinkle:  i was thinking there was a command to turn coloring on/off
[18:33] <Doinkle> goltoof, compiz might have something, but i dont know of it
[18:33] <goltoof> Doinkle:  i use terminator.. anyway my local terminal has color, the remote does not
[18:34] <pr3zident> On my netbook i know how to install applications and everything but is their a folder i should install my applications to ?
[18:34] <goltoof> Doinkle:  think i just need to toggle colors to on for the remote. i've done it before... oh look.. google!
[18:34] <Visuex> pr3zident, it is mainly show for people who may try to use it as a way to support customers which is done to inform the customer that you are using a free program with them in case you try to be sneaky :)
[18:34] <hihihi100> whats better to watch tv in my laptop? a Digital TV express card or a usb TV Tuner Card?
[18:35] <Visuex> pr3zident, applications are installed in a location on their own in ubuntu...you never have to worry about that kind of thing
[18:35] <Doinkle> pr3zident, their nag screen is karma at play, right Visuex?
[18:35] <Sammi16> Hi, if i were to manipulate display drivers on gnome that caused it to crash before it logs in, if i were to use xfce, would it crash?
[18:35] <pr3zident> Visuex o  ok i see
[18:35] <Visuex> lol Doinkle pretty much
[18:35] <Micdawg|work> soo, I have turned on the remote desktop feature and installed ssh, and set the port forwarding up in my router... and I can't connect to either of them remotely
[18:35] <nishttal2> gobbe, can i leave the <options> blank?
[18:35] <gobbe> nishttal2: then it it dedaults
[18:36] <gobbe> nishttal2: defaults
[18:36] <mbvpixies78> anyone know where xorg.conf is?  it's really hard to navigate because of my resolution and having to pan
[18:36] <Doinkle> Micdawg|work, does remote work on the lan?  before u troubleshoot wan?
[18:36] <gobbe> nishttal2: and it depends what is file system in your ssd-disk?
[18:36] <Visuex> pr3zident, installing in ubuntu is very easy....find the thing you want click install and you're done :)
[18:36] <Micdawg|work> I don't know, I didn't want to try, the only other box I have on that network is the wifes windows box :) lol
[18:36] <nishttal2> gobbe, its ext4
[18:36] <gobbe> nishttal2: ok, then defaults is fine
[18:36] <pr3zident> well i just extracted team viewer and their is no install button lol
[18:36] <Doinkle> mbvpixies78, i think:   /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:36] <Visuex> pr3zident, I didnt vote for you..I think it was rigged
[18:37] <Micdawg|work> That was my next step though, I just didn't know what else I had to do, do I have to edit iptables?  I am at work now and don't have access to the box at this time
[18:37] <pr3zident> lmaooooooo Visuex
[18:37] <Doinkle> Micdawg|work, that can test it
[18:37] <nishttal2> gobbe, perfect done :)
[18:37] <Doinkle> Micdawg|work, heck no.
[18:37] <Micdawg|work> Doinkle : k
[18:37] <pr3zident> someone hacked the System Visuex damm computers :)
[18:37] <gobbe> nishttal2: :)
[18:37] <Doinkle> Micdawg|work, basically:  forward port for SSH ONLY...not VNC.  make sure ssh works outside the lan.  make sure vnc works inside the lan
[18:37] <Visuex> pr3zident, lol....are you 32bit or 64?
[18:38] <pr3zident> hmmm 64 bit
[18:38] <oliver3> Anybody else noticed Empathy isn't sending or receiving any messages? (at least for MSN)
[18:38] <Doinkle> Micdawg|work, are you going to remote connect from outside your LAN on a windows or linux box?  or both?
[18:38] <Visuex> http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
[18:38] <Micdawg|work> Doinkle : Both
[18:38] <Visuex> download and double click that...dont extract
[18:38] <Micdawg|work> Doinkle :  I am editing the router now
[18:38] <Sammi16> Do driver effects carry over to different desktop environments?
[18:38] <Doinkle> Micdawg|work, have you used putty before?
[18:38] <pr3zident> ok i downloaded the tar.gz file
[18:38] <Micdawg|work> Doinkle : Yes, every day of my life
[18:38] <Visuex> deb files are kind of like exe files for ubuntu
[18:38] <aeon-ltd> Sammi16: should if that were the root of the problem
[18:38] <Micdawg|work> Doinkle :  That is what I am using to try and connect
[18:39] <Doinkle> Micdawg|work, ok.  also as a tip: use a non-standard port on your router.  pick a videogame port or something.. just keep it more obscured
[18:39] <Micdawg|work> Doinkle :  Ok, trying that now
[18:39] <nishttal2> gobbe, can I use this for Samba shares as well?
[18:39] <Doinkle> Micdawg|work, ok, so once ssh works outside lan, in putty you need to add a tunnel to the machine IP and port.  its under tunnels in putty
[18:39] <gobbe> nishttal2: yes
[18:39] <gabriel_> Hey all, I am trying to completely remove Wine and with no luck, tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine" and it's still there I even deleted .wine in home Dir... any ideas anyone?
[18:40] <nishttal2> gobbe, what would be the device for samba share?
[18:40] <Micdawg|work> Doinkle :  Awesome, thank you, trying now.
[18:40] <Visuex> putty? Doinkle windows to ubuntu?
[18:40] <nishttal2> gobbe, oh wait.. its on the same link.. i'll read
[18:40] <Doinkle> Visuex, putty is ported to linux now
[18:40] <earthmeLon> I want my computer's hostname to be known on my LAN.  What service provides this functionality?  Instead of referring to the compter by IP address, I'd like to refer to it by it's hostname
[18:40] <Sammi16> I am trying to install touch screen drivers on my tablet, but i usually cant even get to the login screen before it crashes. Other than reinstalling ubuntu (10.04 netbook remix), is there anything else i can do?
[18:40] <Visuex> Doinkle, oh cool didnt know that
[18:40] <Doinkle> Visuex, windows can remote to linux no problem
[18:40] <gobbe> nishttal2: you need to install few packages, but, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[18:40] <mbvpixies78> :Doinkle: Thanks
[18:41] <Doinkle> np
[18:41] <gobbe> nishttal2: it's better that i give you link, instead to give you command so you undestand also what you are altering :)
[18:41] <gobbe> earthmeLon: it's called DNS-server
[18:41] <earthmeLon> I am not refering to DNS.  I know there is another service
[18:42]  * Doinkle will be back in 15 mins...
[18:42] <nishttal2> gobbe, yeah I am reading the link you just sent
[18:42] <tripelb> earthmeLon, I just sat down, what are you looking for?
[18:42] <Visuex> pr3zident, you got it working now?
[18:42] <gobbe> nishttal2: yes. and again, if you are unsure about something, don't hesitate to ask
[18:42] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I've go an install of ubuntu 8.04. Apt is giving me errors on about the repos. Are they still up?
[18:42] <Sammi16> Is that a no?
[18:42] <earthmeLon> tripelb, I am trying to use my hostname vs ip on my LAN
[18:42] <pr3zident> doing it right now Visuex
[18:42] <Visuex> ok
[18:43] <Sammi16> agent,check to see if your sources are correct.
[18:43] <pr3zident> you guys should of been my professors !
[18:43] <agentgasmask> Sammi16: vs what?
[18:43] <Visuex> Sammi16, I dont know if anyone is that familiar with the touchscreen stuff but if you do reinstall 10.10 touch features are MUCH better
[18:44] <botcity> gabriel_:  have you tried synaptic or Ubuntu software centre?
[18:44] <pr3zident> Error: Wrong architecture 'amd64'
[18:44] <Sammi16> agentgasmask: go to Software Sources, or Synaptic and Go to repositories, then check to see if the repositories are checked
[18:44] <KM0201> Visuex: you mean reinstall, vs upgrade?
[18:44] <Sammi16> agentgasmask: also, dont forget to reload, lol.
[18:44] <Larre> hey, are all terminal based programs able to run with via ssh? irssi works as im using it on my windows comp atm
[18:44] <Visuex> KM0201, no Sammi16 said something about his loader crashing so upgrade probably isnt an option
[18:44] <Sammi16> Visuex, many people say there has been much trouble with 10.10 and my tablet (Archos 9)
[18:45] <Sammi16> her
[18:45] <KM0201> Visuex: oh ok.
[18:45] <Visuex> Sammi16, oh I see that could be an issue
[18:45] <Sammi16> Oh shoot! I gota get to class! O.O
[18:45] <Visuex> Larre, yes you have pretty much full control with ssh
[18:45] <Doinkle> Larre, check out screen for that :)
[18:46] <Visuex> ahh screen indeed...that program is so freaking useful and so underestimated
[18:46] <Larre> Visuex: okey, awesome:D
[18:47] <Egyptian1019> Hello is anyone able to help me with a problem im having booting into my newly set up ubuntu?
[18:47] <Visuex> Doinkle, that was a quick 15min lol
[18:47] <earthmeLon> Egyptian1019, Just ask your question
[18:47] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: oh no....lol what now?
[18:47] <Egyptian1019>  I have a problem that just came up after I did my first updates with a new install of ubuntu 10.10. During boot i get a message saying k10temp unreliable CPU thermal sensor; monitoring disabled.
[18:48] <BluesKaj> Larre, you can also open a X wiindow using the ssh -Y -l option
[18:48] <Egyptian1019> haha ya this is a new one after i ran all of the updates
[18:48] <Visuex> that is the second time today someone asked about that error
[18:48] <KM0201> Visuex: i don't think i've ever saw that error.
[18:49] <Larre> BluesKaj: hmm ye i read that somewhere but i dont understand how
[18:49] <KM0201> !653770
[18:49] <Larre> BluesKaj: and i have vnc running to so i really dont need it ;P
[18:49] <BluesKaj> Larre, for example : ssh -Y -l  user 192.168.x.x nautlilus&
[18:49] <KM0201> !bug 653770
[18:49] <Visuex> KM0201, it was about an hour ago not sure if it was solved or how though
[18:49] <KM0201> grr.
[18:49] <KM0201> hmm, there's a bug on it.
[18:50] <KM0201> !bug653770
[18:50] <KM0201> oh well, frig it.
[18:50] <Visuex> just remember the question because of the thermal sensor issue
[18:50] <Larre> BluesKaj: okeu ill try that
[18:50] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: read here..lol   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/653770

[18:50] <BluesKaj> Larre, congrats , never found vnc to my liking tho ,couldn't get it to work:(
[18:50] <Visuex> induz, do what? have you tried openoffice?

[18:51] <induz> I use OO but sometimes i use Words under wine and want to copy to Email... and i can not why?
[18:52] <induz> but I can copy from Words[wine[ to OO
[18:52] <BluesKaj> anyway snow shovel awaits ..time to clean the driveway ..BBL
[18:52] <DarsVaeda> where do i find my usb devices? I shall do this "sudo chmod 777 /proc/bus/usb/busid/deviceid" but that path does not exists on my machine -> natty 64bit
[18:52] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: well, according to one post, there WONT be a fix for it either... it seems isolated to 64bit, but.. i dunno.. never heard this one.
[18:52] <Visuex> instead of the ctrl c way try to copy from the word edit menu and see if it works at all or if it is the shortcut
[18:52] <induz> so i have to do copy from Words[wine] copy to OO and re-copy to emails
[18:52] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: are you still able to log in normally, or does the machine cease booting, etc?
[18:52] <induz> what is Glippy?
[18:52] <Visuex> induz, no try what I suggested
[18:53] <pr3zident> ok maybe its just me on my netbook teamviewer installed fine but my desktop giving me problems i installed the deb package but its not letting me install
[18:53] <Egyptian1019> well i can log in and everything but there is no user interface its just through a console
[18:53] <Visuex> BluesKaj, have fun
[18:53] <induz> i have tried OO
[18:53] <Visuex> pr3zident, are they both 64? make sure
[18:53] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: if you log in, and type "startx" no quotes, and hit ener, what happens?
[18:53] <induz> Visuex, I use OO
[18:53] <Egyptian1019> lemme try that now
[18:53] <induz> but these recruiters want resume on .docx file
[18:54] <pr3zident> no their 32 so i downloaded the 32 bit
[18:54] <Visuex> induz, I mean try to copy in word from the edit menu at the top of the program and see if it will let you
[18:55] <nishttal2> gobbe.. all set, thanks for your help today :)
[18:55] <induz> No i can not copy from OO edit menu to Words
[18:55] <pr3zident> Visuex it tries to open with ubuntu software system
[18:55] <gobbe> nishttal2: no problem :)
[18:55] <PerSeL> qubozik or botcity you there? I just got another DC from Internet and "dmesg | tail -f" was in the background what should I do now?
[18:55] <DarsVaeda> where do i find my usb devices? I shall do this "sudo chmod 777 /proc/bus/usb/busid/deviceid" but that path does not exists on my machine -> natty 64bit
[18:56] <nishttal2> gobbe, so fstab is run before other services are run.. for eg mysql server?
[18:56] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: what you are trying to do?
[18:56] <nishttal2> gobbe, because i am going to make the data folder on this mounted drive
[18:56] <gobbe> nishttal2: yes
[18:56] <DarsVaeda> gobbe: i follow a tutorial
[18:56] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: would you mind to tell us what tutorial?
[18:56] <induz> should I use Glippy??
[18:57] <DarsVaeda> DarsVaeda: using a pantone huey
[18:57] <induz> or it is for Images/
[18:57] <pr3zident> never mind i got it
[18:57] <nishttal2> gobbe, perfect
[18:57] <foonewb> Is there a way to run a script when dhclient gets new IP address?
[18:57] <DarsVaeda> gobbe: i mean ^^
[18:57] <botcity> PerSeL: pastebin the output !paste-bin
[18:57] <DarsVaeda> gobbe: i just need to make that usb device user writeable thats it
[18:58] <PerSeL> botcity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550763/
[18:58] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: well. that's what i asked, why you need to make raw device writable? altering something under proc means that in next boot changes you made are gone
[18:59] <DarsVaeda> gobbe: tutorial says so, i dunno why
[18:59] <Guest29104> !es
[18:59] <ra2011> is there any way to know the usb webcam device? I get the output from lsusb: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:4043 Creative Technology, Ltd
[18:59] <Egyptian1019> ati radeon hd4890
[18:59] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: well, that's why i asked you to give this tutorial :)
[18:59] <Visuex> pr3zident, what error is it giving you
[19:00] <DarsVaeda> gobbe: http://jcornuz.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/monito-calibration-the-dispcalgui-way/
[19:00] <pr3zident> Visuex, i got it to install my desktop is a 64 and my netbook is a 32 now im setting up the options thanx
[19:00] <Visuex> BluesKaj, maco just found a flaw for xchat...it stopped refreshing the chat for no reason
[19:00] <ra2011> any tips?
[19:00] <Visuex> pr3zident, oh ok cool
[19:02] <Visuex> pr3zident, go to Options -> Security and set a password...then right down the ID number or create an account on teamviewer to give the comp a name for easier access...I use the ID number as it saves a history when remoting in
[19:02] <DarsVaeda> gobbe: i guess i know why ;) if i try to calibrate with the tool mentioned in the tutorial it gives me a access denied (insufficient permission) error
[19:02] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: yes, that's reason
[19:03] <pr3zident>  Visuex, ok that's what im setting up now -> wait should i set up an account or just use the id ?
[19:03] <DarsVaeda> gobbe: so now my question remains, how do i do it and can i do i permanent (if its a good idea to do so)
[19:04] <PerSeL> botcity: any thoughts?
[19:04] <Visuex> pr3zident, I just use the id but an account could be easier...though never tried so dont know for sure...ID is pretty easy for me
[19:04] <sl33k_> where are git folders get installed by default?
[19:04] <pr3zident> Visuex, ok cool im going to use the ID and im guessing the id never change
[19:04] <mka> hi. I wan't to ask: i have in my laptop dual boot: windows and ubuntu. Actually now i'm running out of space in my /home folder and i want to add some space to it from ntfs. There is such program to that? e.g. on windows was partition magic, but it not works on win 7. Any suggests?
[19:05] <sl33k_>  where are git folders get installed by default?
[19:05] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: i'm sorry, but i don't know how to handle this with correct way :-/
[19:05] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: i'll try to see
[19:05] <DarsVaeda> no prob
[19:05] <gobbe> sl33k_: they are not installed, git just gets sourcecodes
[19:06] <gobbe> sl33k_: and you need to compile them
[19:06] <DarsVaeda> I'm googling myself without luck yet
[19:06] <tripelb> earthmeLon, (sorry I got distracted here) Would this help you?  http://www.robtex.com/dns/
[19:06] <tripelb> he's gone gone gone..
[19:07] <sl33k_> gobbe: my bad, but where is the source code? which directory when checked out from root?
[19:07] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: however, /dev/bus/usb
[19:07] <tripelb> no it wouldnt have help, ah controlfind is grand.
[19:07] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: there's what you were looking for at first
[19:08] <gobbe> sl33k_: it's in directory where you was while you run git command
[19:08] <Visuex> pr3zident, the id does change sometimes but it is quite rare...it only changes if your ip from your isp changes at least that what it did for me
[19:08] <Visuex> DarsVaeda, you shouldn't do that...you may go blind
[19:08] <gobbe> DarsVaeda: http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html
[19:08] <DarsVaeda> do what visuex?
[19:08] <Visuex> google yourself
[19:09] <pr3zident> o ok that sucks so if im in the jungle and i want to connect to my desktop and the ip changes lol then i can't connect
[19:09] <DarsVaeda> that's a helpful comment -.-
[19:09] <ra2011> is there a way to know the device linked to a usb webcam ? I get the output from lsusb: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:4043 Creative Technology, Ltd
[19:09] <james296> can anyone here plz tell me if they are having problems recieving updates in synaptic?
[19:10] <gobbe> ra2011: /dev/bus/usb/003/002
[19:10] <james296> I have been unable to recieve them for weeks, even after reinstalling Ubuntu
[19:10] <DarsVaeda> gobbe: i found this http://tuxpool.blogspot.com/2009/12/changing-usb-device-permissions-in.html
[19:10] <gobbe> james296: well, what's your problem?
[19:10] <ra2011> gobbe: thanks I will try this
[19:10] <Visuex> pr3zident, it is very rare...only happened to me once over like 6 months
[19:10] <sl33k_> gobbe: not there, how should i find it?
[19:10] <Visuex> but if you are in the jungle and you get a connection at all then holy crap
[19:10] <james296> Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.lzma  Sub-process /usr/bin/lzma returned an error code (1)
[19:10] <pr3zident> VIsuex, o ok this is nice thanx man

[19:11] <pr3zident> Visuex while you here, do you know how to take over the world lol
[19:11] <Guest2319> PerSeL: it seems that there is a problem with app-armour
[19:11] <gobbe> ra2011: http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html
[19:12] <Visuex> yes...best option is to gather a good team...I myself chose Stewie, Sinestro and Magneto
[19:12] <james296> well?
[19:13] <Guest2319> PerSeL: see bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/659450
[19:13] <gobbe> ra2011: which version you are running?
[19:13] <gobbe> ra2011: atleast in my both ubuntu-boxes usb-devices are like that
[19:13] <james296> any assistance?
[19:14] <Visuex> pr3zident, your team should be a bit different at least but I'm sure stewie will betray me :)
[19:14] <gobbe> james296: can you upload /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin.ubuntu.com?
[19:14] <pr3zident> Visuex, lol :)
[19:15] <james296> hold on
[19:15] <pr3zident> ok here's another one i want to create an alias to move between my dir lik instead of typing /home/pr3zident i want to just type home is this possible
[19:15] <dr_phd1_> hi everyone, can anyone please tell me how to run Freegate on Ubuntu using Wine? I copied the MFC42.dll but it still gives the same error that MFC42.dll is missing
[19:16] <Visuex> pr3zident, it is possible but I wouldnt suggest it since your home folder is quite vital
[19:16] <tomd> hi, anyone know what controls access to a video capture device in such a way that only one program can read at a time?

[19:17] <pr3zident> ok what about my /var folder because i do alot of php programming and i keep the permission lock on it (because i like to use the terminal trying to learn linux) and i transfer files from one place to the /var folder
[19:18] <gobbe> james296: and sudo apt-get update returns error?
[19:18] <Visuex> tomd if so check out webcamstudio ....it will let you send a cam feed to multiple programs although it is a bit complicated at the beginning
[19:18] <gobbe> dr_phd1_: #winehq
[19:18] <tomd> hi Visuex actually i want to use a webcam for video chat, but also streaming to my zoneminder for home security
[19:18] <Visuex> webcamstudio should be able to do that for you
[19:18] <tomd> sweet. thanks Visuex, ill chekc it out
[19:19] <james296> yes
[19:19] <thekid> Here we go with some PEBKAC - I just can't seem to find a keyboard layout switcher applet for the gnome panel, tried apt-cache search but nothing in the repos?  ( distro: ubuntu 10.10  / gnome: 2.30.2 ) help me out please lol :)
[19:19] <dr_phd1_> ****thanks gobbe*****
[19:19] <Visuex> pr3zident, I wouldnt modify any system folder like that but check the ubuntu docs it has something on it
[19:19] <PerSeL> Guest2319: it not only happens with firefox, same with chrome and so
[19:19] <Visuex> welcome tomd...fair warning it uses java so you will need that installed
[19:19] <pr3zident> Visuex, ok cool
[19:19] <tomd> i had hopped to change a udev rule permission to let both programs read, but that didnt work
[19:19] <Jemt> Hi. How can I list storage devices from a command line ?
[19:20] <Jemt> ... list attached storage devices, that is :)
[19:20] <james296> what now gobbe
[19:20] <Visuex> yea hardware sharing in programs is a bit tricky but webcamstudio makes a virtual cam layer on top of your real cam so it can then be used multiple times
[19:20] <thekid> Jemt: quick n dirty: dmesg |cut -d \] -f 2- |grep ' sd' |grep GB
[19:21] <Jemt> thekid: Hm, I should have thought about that! :-) Thanks for the ready-to-use sample :-)
[19:21] <gobbe> james296: can you put whole output of sudo apt-get update
[19:21] <gobbe> james296: to pastebin also
[19:22] <james296> how?
[19:22] <earthmeLon> I have a local server set up and I would like to be able to refer to it on my LAN as SOMETHING.net.  I do *not* want to edit every HOSTS file on every computer on the LAN.  Is there a better way to go about doing this so that all the computers on my LAN are aware of the server by it's HOSTNAME?
[19:22] <gobbe> james296: run it in terminal and copy-paste it?
[19:23] <botcity> PerSeL:  what is you kernel no. type in a terminal : uname -r

[19:24] <xHard_> hoolaaaa ubuntu
[19:24] <Pendrag0n> what is FloodBot4 for?
[19:24] <Visuex> earthmeLon, why do you want to do this? do you share media...remote view or etc?
[19:24] <myrti_> is there a program similar to websitewatcher that will alert me to modifications on websites I define for ubuntu?
[19:24] <james296> ok, here
[19:24] <Visuex> Pendrag0n, it is a bot to stop people from flooding the channel aka posting a lot of crap real fast

[19:26] <Gartral> can anyone help me with a gobi 2000 3g modem? I have the firmware files, and i made a udev ruleset, but i still can't connect...
[19:26] <earthmeLon> I always think it's called netbios/win vs BIND.
[19:27] <thekid> that's the second option but in case you run into problems you're more likely to get help with bind
[19:27] <Visuex> Gartral, what ISP provides the 3g?
[19:27] <gobbe> james296: try to change all "us.archive" to "archive."
[19:27] <gobbe> james296: maybe us-archive is broken
[19:29] <ra2011> gobbe: I tried this device /dev/bus/usb/003/002 in cheese , but it doesnt work
[19:29] <botcity> PerSeL: is your hardware Broadcom can you pastebin the command:  lshw from the terminal
[19:30] <Gartral> Visuex, it doesn't matter, it'll actually do 4g through t-mo/sprint, but right now im trying to set up verizon 3g

[19:35] <hnsz> I'm running 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:52:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[19:36] <gobbe> james296: or have it changed address to something else than us
[19:36] <Gartral> can anyone help me with a gobi 2000 3g modem? I have the firmware files, and i made a udev ruleset, but i still can't connect... I know alot of guides out there say you have too recompile the kernel, but that isn't an option for me at all..
[19:36] <james296> no, I even manually selected individual servers
[19:36] <hnsz> *AFTER UPDATING
[19:36] <gobbe> james296: hmmh...interesting, is this plain install?
[19:36] <ra2011> gobbe: I'm thinking to put nvidia tv device in blacklist.

[19:38] <steve34> I'm looking for help getting into an old IDE hard drive.  My hard drive has Ubuntu 8.10 on it.  I forgot my password.  Anyone wanna help me find my way into my hard drive?
[19:39] <wazz> I want to put a simple script runnig after boot, but only after everything else is done
[19:39] <gobbe> steve34: boot from livecd and mount your drive there
[19:39] <james296> any new ideas?
[19:39] <wazz> Does anyone know how to do this?
[19:40] <mactimes> steve34, http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftechlogs.itgen.com.br%2F%3Fp%3D476
[19:40] <Doinkle> wazz, add it to your userspace startup
[19:40] <steve34> gobbe: If I have a live CD of 10.10, you mean to boot from the CD and use the hard drive as a storage device rather than a boot device?
[19:40] <gobbe> wazz: /etc/rc.local is run every boot, at last thing
[19:40] <mactimes> steve34, Check it out and let me know if you can follow iup.
[19:40] <gobbe> steve34: well, i'm not sure what do you mean by getting into drive
[19:40] <gobbe> steve34: do you mean installing or seeing files, or what
[19:40] <steve34> accessing the contents of the drive
[19:41] <wazz> Im running ubuntu server, does rc.local run when nobody hasnt logged in?
[19:41] <Gartral> can anyone help me with a gobi 2000 3g modem? I have the firmware files, and i made a udev ruleset, but i still can't connect... I know alot of guides out there say you have too recompile the kernel, but that isn't an option for me at all..
[19:41] <gobbe> wazz: yes
[19:41] <gobbe> wazz: it's run at boot

[19:41] <botcity> PerSeL: there seem's a problem with the app armor  have you tried pluging it into the ethernet port
[19:41] <wazz> gobbe: do i just add it there by copying?
[19:41] <bsdnux> on one of my filesystems df shows 9.3G usage while du tells me 2.2G are used. how is that possible? it's a logical volume.e
[19:41] <Doinkle> gobbe: side question, is that before or after system > prefs > startup applications?  Thanks
[19:41] <bsdnux> ext3 formatted

[19:42] <BajK_> Hey guys, I have done some modification to the kubuntu-logo plymouth script (which can easily be adapted for ubuntu and co. of course) since the original one did not allow you to ask a question, you could ask for a password but not without the text being  hidden. Where can I propose this patch/modification to be reviewed?
[19:42] <mactimes> steve34, Did you get the link?  That will allow you to reset your root password and from there you can reset the passwords for any of your accounts.
[19:42] <mongy> on a friends 10.10 install it needs acpi=off for it to boot,  (lucid didnt need any parameters), well Im just wondering if there is any other parameter that will be as effective but keep the ability to shut down.. as it stands now it gives the shutdown splash but he has to use the power button to actually power down.?
[19:42] <gobbe> Drone4four: startup applications are only triggered when logging in
[19:42] <mka> I have problem with GParted.  I installed it and it shows only one partition, but there should be 4. Is there program's bug or what?
[19:43] <gobbe> Drone4four: rc.local is running after boot
[19:43] <wazz> gobbe: Thanks
[19:43] <Nanoha> is there a way i can repartiiton a disk with data already on it?
[19:43] <steve34> mactimes: I did look at it, but I'm a slow reader
[19:43] <Doinkle> Nanoha, the install cd has gparted
[19:43] <steve34> not to mention, I'm a relative nOOb at this
[19:43] <gobbe> james296: is the error message same that it was before you reinstalled?
[19:44] <steve34> brb
[19:44] <mactimes> steve34, Ok.  That is a step-by-step procedure.  I've written that because many people already asked that.  So, if you need any help with that, just let me know.
[19:44] <Nanoha> okay.  So....I need to reinstall Ubuntu.  I've got my (now corrupted) installation on the hard drive..  By using Gparted, I can install a new Ubuntu without affecting my data?
[19:44] <steve34> mactimes: thx
[19:44] <Doinkle> Nanoha, you didnt ask that...
[19:44] <Doinkle> Nanoha, what exactly is your issue?
[19:44] <mactimes> steve34, np.
[19:44] <james296> I dont remember, but Im thinking about reinstalling and going back on here
[19:45] <james296> I havent installed anything except this on it
[19:45] <Nanoha> I tried to upgrade my linux.  I blew up...twice.  now I have to reinstall to fix the problems.  so I want to make an empty partiition, move my data to that new partition, and reinstall linux in the old  (now system only) partiion.
[19:45] <ra2011> gobbe: I`ll be back in a few minutes
[19:45] <Doinkle> Nanoha, no need.  pop the cd in, choose install route.  when the partition editor runs, just reformat the partitions besides /home
[19:46] <Nanoha> cool!  thanks.
[19:46] <Doinkle> Nanoha, of course, always back up data before doing this. :P
[19:46] <Doinkle> Nanoha, also, don't worry once you get to that screen.  it warns you that you are about to permanently change the drive
[19:46] <Nanoha> ok
[19:47] <Doinkle> Nanoha, so boot up and you'll see what i mean.  you ca back out of it if you want by aborting the install..as long as it is BEFORE you write changes to partition
[19:47] <thekid> feanor2: thank you, it's working now. ( the ibus preferences has the option to show the layout switcher now ) i don't know what's wrong with the oldschool way of simply adding the applet :)
[19:48] <farhad2010> how can i boot live linux from USB in NTFS partition,is there any tools for windows to do that?
[19:48] <steve34> mactimes: I'm in live cd.  The computer doesn't seem to find the hard drive.  There are no jumpers to tell it that it's master, slave, or what
[19:48] <michaelhealy> I would like to install a program requiring python 2.5, is it better to virtualenv or install 2.5 as well?
[19:48] <botcity> PerSeL: please see this{ :http://ubuntuforums.org/tags.php?tag=iwlagn } it appears there is a problem with this driver other people have the same problem, please file a bug report to launchpad
[19:49] <c0nv1ct> it seams I have lost some of the xinerama extension support of twinview when moving from a 2 screen to a 4 screen setup.  on each twinview x session windows are not being placed as if they are aware of the screen offsets
[19:49] <thekid> steve34: if no jumpers then connect it as primary master and see what happens
[19:49] <mactimes> steve34, Oh, sorry, I thought you wanted to regain access to the accounts in an already installed system.
[19:49] <Doinkle> michaelhealy, vm if you can.
[19:49] <farhad2010> how can i boot live linux from USB in NTFS partition,is there any tools for windows to do that?
[19:49] <mactimes> steve34, Ok, start up a console then and we'll take if from there.
[19:49] <c0nv1ct> so basically windows are placed across both screens now, maximize does the same
[19:50] <mactimes> steve34, Applications --> Accessories --> Console
[19:50] <michaelhealy> Doinkle: Thanks, forgot to include that option.
[19:50] <thekid> steve34: regain accounts by passing the init=/bin/bash parameter to the kernel then change the passwords :) oops i didn't tell you that
[19:50] <Doinkle> farhad2010, not that i am aware
[19:50] <gobbe> farhad2010: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[19:50] <Vegitha> damn this server is packed
[19:50] <mactimes> steve34, I mean, Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal
[19:51] <Vegitha> used to be like lagnet and zanet days
[19:51] <botcity> PerSeL: they should fix it in the next release
[19:51] <BluesKaj> farhad2010, you boot directly from the usb  ext3/4 partition not ntfs
[19:51] <mactimes> steve34, Let me know when you're ready.
[19:51] <steve34> mactimes: I had figured that out.  Btw, I'm restarting the computer with only the old hard drive through live cd
[19:51] <wolfric> Can someone clarify how installing things from source can afect how apt-get or any package manager can keep track of the version of the program and verify if there are any upgrades... What happens if i install from source and then apt-get install or upgrade that program?
[19:51] <Doinkle> BluesKaj, thats what i thought
[19:51] <steve34> that way, it can't be messed up with the other hard drive
[19:51] <michaelhealy> what was the last ubuntu to have python 2.5 as the default?
[19:51] <PerSeL> botcity how can I add this bug to the bug report I mean should I add some files from my system?
[19:51] <James296> I should have copied it but before I got this xchat after I tried updating the sources list, it said something about a translation service
[19:52] <Doinkle> wolfric, apt-get(synaptic) has no way of tracking installs from source.
[19:52] <steve34> mactimes: I haven't yet folowed your counsel, but I have bookmarked it
[19:52] <mkquist> wolfric: means it wont get updated automagically
[19:52] <steve34> the address
[19:52] <steve34> brb
[19:53] <mactimes> steve34, That won't be of any use for you now.  That's for root access recovery.
[19:53] <IdleOne> wolfric: when you install from the package manager it goes and get the package from a central repository or a "source" but when you install from a source file and compile yourself the package manager is not aware of it.
[19:53] <tame_lx_tech> hello
[19:53] <Doinkle> hi
[19:53] <mactimes> steve34, That works in case you've lost access to your local accounts.  It's a procedure to reset your root account password so that you can manage the other accounts in the computer.
[19:53] <simon_> Hello!
[19:54] <wolfric> IdleOne: if i do apt-get -b source program, does it download the source and build it, install it and keep track of it?
[19:54] <steve34> mactimes: I understand that.  I was root on that hard drive.  Had bad block issues and replaced the 120GB with a 250GB
[19:54] <BluesKaj> !pm | farhad2010
[19:54] <botcity> PerSeL: yes please  see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[19:54] <IdleOne> wolfric: yes but in that case it still went to the repo to get the source so it is aware, least I believe so.
[19:54] <simon_> I'm using the desktop-version of 10.10. But I can't activate my wifi-networkcard... Where can I get drivers for it? How to install them?
[19:54] <BluesKaj> !usb | farhad2010
[19:54] <thekid> wolfric: when you're compiling from source then the "make install" command will install stuff under /usr/local , packages get install in /usr/  , so you can have the same thing installed from souce ( like /usr/local/bin/program ) yet having the package installed ( /usr/bin/program ) , so they shouldn't interfere as far as the package manager cares... however by default  the /usr directory will be used , if there's nothing there /usr/local/ w
[19:54] <thekid> ill also be checked
[19:55] <riktking> is there a program that can organize my music folder like itunes does???
[19:55] <Doinkle> wolfric, think of it this way.  if you install from source, in several ways you "are on your own".  Using the package manager makes installations easier since the db is called for dependencies.
[19:55] <riktking> simon_, can you plug in a network cable?
[19:55] <steve34> I'm outta here.  I'll see you maybe in a half hour
[19:55] <steve34> and thx for all
[19:55] <steve34> bye
[19:55] <Vegitha> cheers steve
[19:55] <simon_> riktking: Yes! I'm online with it now.
[19:56] <mactimes> riktking, It's not the same thing, but you might want to take a look at xbmc.  It's a media center package.
[19:56] <riktking> have you done an update?
[19:56] <Vegitha> thats great simon_
[19:56] <simon_> riktking: I'm not sure. When I installed the os it came up an automatic updatewindow. Was that the right window?
[19:56] <riktking> mactimes, im basically looking to sort out the mess that is my music folder, if maybe rhythumbox or banshee has it
[19:57] <thekid> wolfric: basically the package manager doesn't know/care about what you have installed from source because it won't touch /usr/local , treat that dir as "reserved for testing stuff from source"
[19:57] <riktking> simon_, load up terminal
[19:57] <Doinkle> riktking, sorta offtopic, but check out subsonic.  you might be interested
[19:57] <wolfric> Doinkle: thekid: IdleOne: right but what i really want to do is just install from source and have an entry in package manager that can check if it's out of date or if there are upgrades
[19:57] <riktking> simon_, type sudo apt-get update
[19:57] <Doinkle> wolfric, good luck. :P  Is there a ppa?
[19:57] <riktking> simon_, then type sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:57] <riktking> simon_, will get you all the latest packages
[19:57] <simon_> riktking: Sorry, I'm nearly a total noob. But, yeah. I'll test sudo apt-get update
[19:58] <IdleOne> wolfric: then you need to add a deb-src line to sources.list
[19:58] <thekid> wolfric: then create a deb package from the source code, and install it using dpkg -i whatever.deb
[19:58] <riktking> simon_, once this is done go to system->administration->additional drivers
[19:58] <IdleOne> wolfric: see man apt-get and read the description for source
[19:58] <riktking> simon_, we we all n00bs once
[19:59] <simon_> riktking: I did the "sudo apt-get update" but I'm still not able to avtivate the networkcard
[19:59] <riktking> Doinkle, i tried that on my server didnt get on too well with it, just the folder is in a right mess and if anyone knows a program to sort it
[19:59] <Doinkle> simon_, before ya know it, you'll be in here answering all the newb questions. :P
[19:59] <riktking> simon_, did u do the sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:00] <Doinkle> riktking, IMHO it isn't worth it.  just use an app as an indexer and move on
[20:00] <simon_> riktking: Oh, missed it. Thanks!
[20:00] <IdleOne> wolfric: Note that source packages are not tracked like binary packages, they exist only in the current directory and are similar to downloading source tar balls.
[20:00] <riktking> Doinkle, maybe i have a little obsessive compulsive about it lol
[20:00] <thekid> wolfric: basically the usual process of creating a package is something like:  get the source, tar -xzvf whatever.tgz , cd whatever, ./configure , make , sudo checkinstall
[20:00] <simon_> riktking: I get the answer that there's nothing to upgrade
[20:00] <IdleOne> wolfric: that means that the package manager will not check for new versions of the source package
[20:00] <riktking> simon_, go to system-administration-additional drivers
[20:01] <thekid> wolfric: so instead of make install use checkinstall to create the .deb package
[20:01] <wolfric> thekid: IdleOne oh really? so if you apt-get source it won't track it for updates?
[20:01] <riktking> simon_, that'll check if there are any avail
[20:01] <riktking> simon_, have you googled your wifi card?
[20:01] <IdleOne> wolfric: if I understand man page, no.
[20:02] <simon_> riktking: It seems like I can activate the card in additional drivers. Hold on!
[20:02] <Doinkle> simon_, did your wireless card work in the live mode of the CD ?
[20:02] <wolfric> IdleOne: i see
[20:02] <riktking> simon_, thats how i have to do mine on my laptop, just reboot after and bobs ur uncle
[20:02] <nunojpg> one of my partitions is not mounting on boot, where can I check the log failing messages?
[20:02] <Doinkle> nunojpg, /var/messages ?
[20:02] <IdleOne> !checkinstall > wolfric
[20:02] <thekid> wolfric: no idea i usually have a reason to recompile something and don't want the package manager to touch that, if you get the source by apt-get it will get updated yes, but thats probably not what you want (??? )
[20:03] <wolfric> IdleOne: thekid: If i want to build from source and not use binaries, are there any methods that will help me keep track of available upgrads or security patches?
[20:03] <AlexJ_> hi, I would like to add programs for load during startup, but add them in the command line.
[20:03] <simon_> riktking: Bobs my uncle? ;) In there I downloaded the drivers. Should I reboot my laptop now?
[20:03] <IdleOne> wolfric: ubottu just sent you info on exactly what you asked
[20:03] <Doinkle> AlexJ_, that's an open-ended question.  have you tried /etc/rc.local ?
[20:04] <Doinkle> simon_, shouldnt need to reboot..
[20:04] <wolfric> IdleOne: right but apt-get upgrade won't check for upgrades against that deb file or will it?
[20:04] <riktking> simon_, depends shoudl work now
[20:04] <riktking> bobs your uncle is a british phrase
[20:05] <IdleOne> wolfric: apt will always prefer the newest version available to it. If the version you compile and install is newer then what is available it will continue to use it but it won't offer updates on that version if they are not in the repos.
[20:06] <nunojpg> I don't see any message for the partition missing
[20:06] <IdleOne> wolfric: basically it boils down to this. The latest version is not always the best version. unless you absolutely need a feature in a newer version of an app not in the repos I suggest you stick to what is available in the repos.
[20:07] <pepee> I can't compile ffox because of this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Cross_Compile_Mozilla_for_Mingw32#Why_the_build_system_not_take_my_i686-mingw32-gcc_as_a_cross-compiler.3f
[20:07] <nunojpg> if some other partition on fstab fails to mount, the others will be ignored?
[20:07] <Doinkle> nunojpg, can you manually mount the partition?
[20:07] <nico_> Hi! I'm looking for an helping channel about linux! this channel is not about that, isn't it?
[20:07] <schnuffle1> nuno: no
[20:07] <gobbe> nico_: ask the question
[20:07] <pepee> how do I disable wine from running files from the terminal?
[20:07] <Doinkle> nico_, this is ubuntu-centric, not linux-cenric
[20:07] <IdleOne> nico_: this channel is for Ubuntu but there is also ##linux if you need more general linux help
[20:08] <mreiss_> Is it possible to add symlinks to /etc/init and use the symlinked upstart jobs as you would use a normal upstart job?
[20:08] <nico_> I want to install on a web sever on linux, programs under my session
[20:08] <thekid> pepee: what are you trying to accomplish.. ?
[20:08] <nunojpg> Doinkle: mount: /dev/cciss/c0d0p4 already mounted or /ui busy
[20:08] <nico_> ah ok, I'll try that becaux it's not about ubuntu!
[20:09] <pepee> thekid, I don't want exe files to be run from the terminal
[20:09] <nunojpg>  /ui exists, and c0d0p4 doens't show on df(1)
[20:10] <pepee> thekid, at least, not directly, i.e., not without writing "wine " before the name of the exe
[20:10] <schnuffle1> nuno: shure its not already mounted?
[20:10] <Quantum_Ion> Do you have problems mounting and remounting the SSD card under Ubuntu Linux ?
[20:11] <skiing> Hi! Someone knows why aMSN doesn't show me the offline msgs?
[20:11] <nico_> I'm sorry to disturb you again, but apparently i cant send messages on ##linux, is there a special thing to do?
[20:11] <gobbe> nico_: #linux

[20:15] <alz3abi>  i was follow a tutorial how to change show desktop to minimize all windows, can any body help me how to restore it to default ?
[20:15] <nunojpg> schnuffle1: nothing for c0d0p4
[20:16] <lamis> schnuffle1: remove kubuntu logon screen
[20:16] <schnuffle1> lamis: kdm is responsible, so you can replace it with xdm or gdm
[20:16] <Josesordo> there is some good karaoke game for Ubuntu?
[20:17] <alz3abi> any body please ?
[20:17] <Doinkle> alz3abi, chill out and give people time to see it
[20:18] <milamber> !panelreset | alz3abi
[20:18] <alz3abi> @Doinkle, oh thanks :)
[20:18] <Doinkle> Josesordo, check out performous
[20:18] <Doinkle> never tried it
[20:18] <alz3abi> ubottu : thanks alot .. i'll do it and verfy back :)
[20:19] <ksian_sf> hy, does someone know why liferea (1.6.3) does not remember the "wide view" layout after closing the program?
[20:19] <Doinkle> Josesordo, http://performous.org/about
[20:20] <Josesordo> Doinkle, oh yeah I saw that in Software center.. I will try it then :D
[20:20] <Josesordo> Doinkle, thanks :D
[20:20] <Doinkle> http://performous.org/other   <-- has more to look at
[20:20] <alz3abi> all panels resetted but still when i click the show desktop, all windows minimize insteed of default value
[20:20] <Doinkle> http://performous.org/others  <-- has more to look at
[20:21] <Josesordo> playdeb.net or getdeb.net is a good page to find apps or games?
[20:22] <milamber> alz3abi: what tutorial were you following?
[20:24] <alz3abi> milamber : not sure about that some thing like that (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/minimize-all-windows-clicking-docky-anchor-icon/) i cant remember if it from omgubuntu or webupd8
[20:24] <wyclif> I've got a Chromium question. My Ubuntu-variant distro installs Chromium 8.0.x by default. When I run it, it slows down over time b/c of memory leakage. Do I need to run Chrome instead? I'd rather be closer to the bleeding edge browser-wise, but not so close that the speed isn't practical.
[20:25] <gobbe> wyclif: this channel is only for ubuntu, not for variants if they are not official supported
[20:26] <wyclif> gobbe: Knew someone would say that, but this is an ubuntu problem: it's Chromium for ubuntu after all.
[20:26] <Dcite> If the installed version doesn't work try another one.
[20:26] <wyclif> gobbe: not only that, but the channel for it is dead. No point in asking there.
[20:26] <Dcite> Or you can always restart the client.
[20:26] <gobbe> wyclif: well. still. if you are running variant its not same thing
[20:26] <milamber> alz3abi: you should be able to open gconf-editor from the terminal and uncheck the options you set
[20:26] <Doinkle> wyclif, bleeding edge = risk.  so if it is bad managing memory thats the cost of running something that new :/
[20:27] <wyclif> gobbe: As far as Chromium knows, it's Ubuntu. Only difference between what I have and straight Ubuntu is the desktop.
[20:28] <alz3abi> milamber: can you please guide me how to reset the show desktop button ?
[20:28] <wyclif> Doinkle: thanks.
[20:28] <gobbe> wyclif: but answer to your question, in your case chrome might be better
[20:29] <wyclif> gobbe: got it. Thanks. Probably need Chrome.
[20:32] <Wowing> Try good world of warcrafthttp://bestwow.no-ip.biz
[20:33] <federico> !list
[20:33] <alz3abi> problem still same, thanks for trying help
[20:33] <botcity> alz3abi: just right click on the bottom bar click add to panel find the showdesktop app click it
[20:34] <milamber> alz3abi: ctrl + alt + f1, login, from the terminal: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity    then ctrl + alt + f7 should reset everything in gnome
[20:35] <Phong_> hi
[20:35] <milamber> alz3abi: rm -rf is *very* powerful, understand it before you use it.
[20:35] <Phong_> milamber, 'rm -rf /
[20:35] <Phong_> lol
[20:35] <maco> !danger
[20:36] <Phong_> milamber, most powerful command is 'rm -rf /'
[20:36] <minus> rm -rf / doesn't work actually
[20:36] <Phong_> minus, really?
[20:36] <blackxored> minus, it shouldn't, why on earth would you try to do that ???
[20:36] <Gh0stRAT> ()
[20:36] <Myrtti> please stop repeating it though
[20:36] <Dcite> The kernel should be blocking that exact line..
[20:36] <Phong_> is ubuntu same as fedora?
[20:36] <minus> with /* it works
[20:36] <maco> minus: because thankfully Phong_ didnt give the part about doing it as root
[20:36] <blackxored> ok don't try this at home, but it's sudo rm -rf /
[20:37] <maco> Phong_: rm is patched to not remove / but shell globbing still works
[20:37] <blackxored> and I also believe there is code to not allow that
[20:37] <blackxored> maco, sorry, exactly ;)
[20:37] <Dcite> For those that want to see if something is broken in their settings, please consider using mv to MOVE the folders instead of deleeting them.
[20:37] <maco> Phong_: which is why what minus said works. also the manpage tells you how to make it allow that removal again, but lets not tell it here
[20:37] <Phong_> i'm asking if ubuntu same as fedora
[20:37] <Gh0stRAT> time to set up a virtual machine, it would seem...
[20:37] <maco> Phong_: i dont know if that patch is in upstream rm or if its ubuntu-specific
[20:38] <Dcite> Phong_: They are both linux but packages built for the respective distros MIGHT not work.
[20:38] <milamber> Phong_: no, ubuntu is not the same as fedora
[20:38] <maco> Phong_: or do you mean *in general* is ubuntu same? if so, then no. we use a different package manager and are bound to have different software versions and carry different patches
[20:38] <milamber> !info rm
[20:38] <maco> minus: coreutils
[20:38] <m4v> Phong_: if they were the same they would be the same distro, no?
[20:38] <Phong_> ;)
[20:38] <Phong_> got your point.
[20:40] <maco> Phong_: the change to not allow / to be rm'd by default does not appear to be a debian/ubuntu-specific patch
[20:41] <unhackmee> hey, i want to ask- is ecryptfs only for the ~Private folder? or will it encrypt my ~Documents folder aswell?
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> I'm using kubuntu and when I mouse to the top-left corner I get an Expose like view of all windows.  Which is cool.  but I want it to be a different corner.  And I can't find out where to configure it.  I'm looking under Desktop Effects, but not seeing it...
[20:41] <Snyper> anyone here use netbook remix?
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> DOH, nevermind, found it.
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> It's in "Window Behavior".
[20:41] <NfNitLoop> I only looked for it for 5 minutes before /joining. :)
[20:41] <maco> unhackmee: it can encrypt the entire ~
[20:41] <WeThePeople> when installing 10.04 what type of file system or partition should i use to get the dual boot screen......i already have 2 NTFS and EXT 3 with SWAP.......10.04 offers ext 4 J.F.S.
[20:42] <NfNitLoop> #ubuntu is like magic!
[20:42] <maco> unhackmee: depends how your user account was setup
[20:42] <Snyper> can anyone help me with a little installing problem?
[20:42] <schnuffle1> snyper: just ask
[20:42] <maco> unhackmee: id guess if you have a ~/Private though, it was probably not setup for entire-home encryption
[20:42] <Snyper> kk
[20:43] <maco> unhackmee: so, i'd suggest symlinks. ~/Documents/Secret -> ~/Private/Documents   (ln -s ~/Private/Documents ~/Documents/Secret )
[20:43] <WeThePeople> and    ext 3 j.f.s.,,,,,,,, ext 2 f.s.,,,,,, reiserfs j.f.s. jfs.... xfs..... fat 16..... fat 32
[20:43] <unhackmee> maco: thanks.. i used ecryptfs-setup-private...
[20:43] <schnuffle1> people: ext4 is a good choice
[20:43] <maco> unhackmee: then just ~/Private
[20:44] <pepee> how do I disable wine from running files directly from the terminal?
[20:44] <pepee> I can't compile ffox because of this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Cross_Compile_Mozilla_for_Mingw32#Why_the_build_system_not_take_my_i686-mingw32-gcc_as_a_cross-compiler.3f
[20:44] <Snyper> basically trying to install netbook remix version 10.10 on my netbook, usb is all setup and rdy but when i boot and select ubs the GRUB flashes for a second then comes up with...
[20:45] <Snyper> graphics initilization failed error setting up gfxboot
[20:45] <WeThePeople> schnuffle1, that will show ubuntu on the dual boot screen
[20:45] <Larre> hey guys, are there any terminl -based games?
[20:45] <trism> Larre: nethack
[20:45] <pepee> Larre, go-fish
[20:46] <pepee> xD
[20:46] <schnuffle1> people: depends only on the boot manager conf. If u use grub, it supports ext4
[20:46] <Larre> pepee: what do u do in that game? :)
[20:46] <brontoeee> no 1st person shooters?
[20:46] <pepee> Larre, man go-fish ;)
[20:47] <unhackmee> @Snyper: type "help" then try hitting enter
[20:47] <TeslaTony> I'm trying to create a disk image of both my Linux and Windows partitions. I tried dd, but it's slow and I can't tell if it's doing a recursive backup or not. Any recommended utilities?
[20:47] <Larre> haha
[20:47] <nishttal2> how can I make my ubuntu desktop part of a domain
[20:47] <pepee> TeslaTony, cp /dev/sda ?
[20:47] <schnuffle1> tony: clonzilla live usb
[20:48] <Snyper> @schnuffle1: erm wow its loading up now how the?
[20:48] <TeslaTony> pepee, Will that keep the partitions and filesystems intact?
[20:49] <nishttal2> gobbe, i am not able to ping a machine on the network that i was able to earlier (ping manu doesnt work) but ping manu.domain.com does
[20:49] <schnuffle1> oops : should be clonezilla livecd, cp will not do that
[20:49] <pepee> TeslaTony, well, don't really know if that will work...
[20:49] <pepee> just guessing
[20:49] <schnuffle1> ttal2: add a search domain in resolv.conf
[20:49] <gobbe> nishttal2: have you changed your network settings?
[20:50] <nishttal2> gobbe.. i just did a fresh isntall of Ubuntu
[20:50] <psusi> TeslaTony: you want clonezilla or ghost4linux if you really want to do an image backup.  They are smart enough to skip the unused blocks.
[20:50] <Snyper> btw thank you schnuffle1 its workign now
[20:50] <gobbe> nishttal2: what do you have in /etc/resolv.conf?
[20:51] <quiescens> generally, using dedicated imaging software is highly recommended over trying to do it by hand with cp or dd unless you have a really good reason to
[20:51] <gobbe> nishttal2: you should have there search domain.com
[20:51] <nishttal2> gobbe.. got it.. will do
[20:51] <TeslaTony> psusi, That sounds like it'd work. Thanks. If it doesn't...I guess ask again?
[20:52] <schnuffle1> snyper: your wewlcome
[20:52] <Zoohouse> Hello everyone
[20:52] <pat__362> join #ubuntu
[20:53] <nishttal2> gobbe, that worked :)
[20:53] <Zoohouse> Is there a easy way to view all the fonts installed on my system? Kinda like a font browser or something. I need to design something and I want to see all my fonts in a easy and quick way.
[20:53] <Snyper> quick question hows the graphics coming along on the desktop ubuntu really would love to use it on ym main pc but I a games lover and like high graphics
[20:54] <milamber> Zoohouse >> Applications >> Accessories >> Character Map?
[20:54] <geovanny> hello
[20:54] <gobbe> Snyper: what do you mean with high graphics?
[20:55] <brontoeee> Snyper, not worth it in my humble opinion
[20:55] <Snyper> I like playign games with high graphics thats all...just wanted to know how games are lookign in the recent ubuntu distros
[20:55] <gobbe> Snyper: gaming might be issue
[20:55] <Zoohouse> milamber, is there another way where I can see them all at the same time?
[20:56] <schnuffle1> snyper: looks good if you have the right grafics card with the right driver
[20:57] <deadsmith> hey all:  building a custom install ISO for amd64 and having trouble getting it to boot.
[20:57] <milamber> Zoohouse: running gnome?
[20:57] <Snyper> the Ati cards not so compatable atm are they?
[20:57] <Zoohouse> milamber, yup
[20:57] <deadsmith> isolinux is the right bootable for EFI systems, yes?
[20:57]  * pat__362 x windows kaput after update modules do not exist type1 freetype have nvidia
[20:57] <schnuffle1> to list all installed fonts: xlsfonts
[20:58] <TeslaTony> Snyper, Linux is extremely hit-or-miss on whether the game works at all. The ones I've played with, the games looked like they were on a Windows machine (or better), or simply didn't function
[20:58] <brontoeee> Zoohouse, check the 'ubuntu software center', search for 'fonts'
[20:58] <brontoeee> at least two utilities look interesting, specimen and font matrix
[20:59] <Zoohouse> brokenda1apoint, thanks, let me try
[20:59] <botcity> Snyper: if you mean compatibility then proprietary os are the way to go no hassle gaming just high hassle everything else
[20:59] <Snyper> Yer this is why im stickign with windows atm on my laptop and my new netbook got Ubuntu
[20:59] <schnuffle1> Zoohouse: another option is to use gnome charmap. it shows you all fonts globally and locally installed
[21:00] <bubby323> mkdir -p, what does the -p do?
[21:00] <schnuffle1> it creates the whole dirtree
[21:01] <milamber> Zoohouse: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=666919
[21:01] <schnuffle1> imagine mkdir -p test/test2, it will work even if test doens't exist
[21:02] <pat__362> can anyone help me get x windows going?
[21:03] <Tadej> hello

[21:08] <Tadej> gobbe: where do I select desktop
[21:08] <gobbe> Tadej: from login screen
[21:08] <korisnik> schnuffle1: had to restart, that is not the only problem with this laptop, i had to restart after i connected network cable

[21:11] <Zoohouse> milamber, schnuffle1 brontoeee I found Fontmatrix that does just what I need. Thanks for the help! =)
[21:11] <schnuffle1> nuno: change the default kernel in grub
[21:11] <brontoeee> Zoohouse, wasnt hard at all :)
[21:11] <schnuffle1> house: fine
[21:11] <nishttal2> schnuffle1, gobbe : thanks

[21:11] <korisnik> schnuffle1: tnx, that gave me idea, and i am now at installing kubuntu destop. i am not total newbie, but i had to take 3 months break from learning ubuntu, anyway, tnx for info, lets see what will happen
[21:12] <schnuffle1> Kor: goog luck and keep going
[21:12] <SoftarPaul> Hello! I've got an external soundcard. But, I can't here anything. On the soundcard there's a volumepanel and I can change the internal volume with it.
[21:12] <Tadej> gobbe: there is no selection menu at login
[21:13] <gobbe> Tadej: when you select the user, it should appear in bottom
[21:13] <adub> i have an sda2 partition that is extended and under this partition i have an sda5 partition that i have listed as ext4... on the ext4 partition my linux is installed is there a way to combine the extended partition to my partition that linux is installed have sda2 and sda5
[21:13] <nishttal2> schnuffle1, gobbe : well that does not seem to be logging SSHD messages.. i am trying to SSH into a box (where i am running tail -f /var/log/syslog).. i got a Permission denied.. but nothing in the logs
[21:13] <brontoeee> Tadej, after clicking the user name, at the bottom of the screen there should be pulldown menu, and you are not missing anything by not being able to run unity in my humble opinion (again)
[21:14] <adub> also occasionally i am finding that one of my hard drives is not showing up when i boot into linux
[21:14] <rumpe1> nishttal2, how about auth.log?
[21:14] <gobbe> nishttal2: /var/log/auth.log
[21:15] <gobbe> nishttal2: i just told that /var/log, not specified syslog :)
[21:15] <Tadej> gobbe, brontoeee thanks I found it
[21:15] <SoftarPaul> Can anyone help me?
[21:16] <schnuffle1> Paul: no :-)
[21:16] <pa> hi, do you know whether something like this is possible?  http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/msg14738.html
[21:16] <SoftarPaul> Fuck off schnuffle1:(
[21:17] <nishttal2> gobbe, rumpe1 auth.log has nothing either
[21:17] <KM0201> !language | SoftarPaul
[21:17] <schnuffle1> Paul: of course, but just ask your question. haven't seen the smiley?
[21:17] <BluesKaj> SoftarPaul, run lusb in the terminal to see if it's ilsted
[21:17] <nishttal2> gobbe, rumpe1 I am using public key
[21:17] <brontoeee> Tadej, no problemo
[21:18] <BluesKaj> err SoftarPaul lsusb
[21:18] <nishttal2> gobbe, $ ssh manu... Permission denied (publickey).
[21:18] <SoftarPaul> I've got an external soundcard, and I can't hear anything
[21:18] <korisnik> gdm or kdm on laptop?
[21:18] <SoftarPaul> I can change the internal volume with it, but no sound
[21:19] <SoftarPaul> korisnik: Talking to me?
[21:19] <korisnik> to anyone
[21:19] <blackxored> how do you get rid of a size overflow condition when you've already freed up some space
[21:19] <BluesKaj> SoftarPaul, I repeat , run lsusb in the terminal to see if your card is even recognized
[21:19] <blackxored> and still tells you 0 bytes free
[21:19] <blackxored> ?
[21:20] <gobbe> nishttal2: well, you need to configure server to log more, by default it doesnt log much
[21:21] <Dcite> blackxored: In linux space availabel can go below 0 bytes free, but it won't show negative
[21:21] <nishttal2> gobbe, the server I am trying to connect to hasnt changed
[21:21] <SoftarPaul> BluesKaj: It recognize it "C-media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter
[21:21] <SoftarPaul> "
[21:21] <nishttal2> gobbe, my machine has been formatted and ubuntu reinstalled
[21:21] <karlo94> what command I can use to found some text in this script? (I know how if in text are spaces, but this is different..)      *** show_url('http://mf-gruenenbach.de/assets/multimedia/0601-acdc_-_highway_to_hell-sta.mp3') ***
[21:21] <nishttal2> gobbe, i have copied my private key back under ~/.ssh folder
[21:21] <nishttal2> gobbe, what else needs to be done?
[21:21] <korisnik> SoftarPaul: try in sound options under output set something with no amplifier
[21:21] <blackxored> Dcite, i know but the filesystem is overflowed, I added new space, but still is overflowed, happened before on a external data partition, I want to know how to get rid of the 0 bytes size without reboot
[21:22] <gobbe> nishttal2: it must be in right file, authorized keys
[21:22] <lukasz> hello
[21:22] <SoftarPaul> korsnik: How to? Where can I found output?
[21:22] <nishttal2> gobbe, authorized keys is on the server ..right?
[21:22] <gobbe> nishttal2: yes
[21:22] <nishttal2> gobbe, so that hasnt been touched
[21:23] <nishttal2> gobbe, its only my machine that was wiped out
[21:23] <minus> when i installed ubuntu server on my NAS it formatted one of the RAID partitions for swap without me setting that at all \o/
[21:23] <SoftarPaul> korisnik: I fixed it! Thanks! :D
[21:23] <gobbe> nishttal2: your sourcemachines keys change
[21:23] <gobbe> nishttal2: if you didnt backup all keys
[21:23] <korisnik> no problem, SoftarPaul just relax :)
[21:23] <BluesKaj> SoftarPaul, ok in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD and other used controls are not muted ,by using the "M" key' then turn those controls up to 80% or so
[21:24] <nishttal2> gobbe, the machine key is in known_hosts
[21:24] <nishttal2> gobbe, that we changed
[21:24] <SoftarPaul> BluesKaj: It's fixed!
[21:24] <gobbe> nishttal2: no. source machines key must be in servers authorized keys
[21:25] <rumpe1> nishttal2, ssh-copy-id user@serverip
[21:25] <nbca> does anyone know if the staging drivers in the 2.6.37 kernel is enabled by default?
[21:26] <biossettings> hello, so i was messing around with some things in ubuntu after a fresh install, and completely messed up that partition. so i brought out my ubuntu cd to try and reinstall ubuntu, but when i boot up, the cd isn't the boot device. Now this is my issue: my keyboard does not work inside the bios. I can enter the bios perfectly fine by pressing the del key, but then once I'm inside the bios I cannot make any changes. I can't move
[21:27] <nishttal2> gobbe, wow.. i thought authorized_keys was for users public keys and known_hosts was for machine keys
[21:27] <GaryD> biossettings: what kind of computer are you talking about?
[21:27] <OerHeks> biossettings, an USB keyboard will not work in your bios, get a PS/2 keyboard to change the bootpriority
[21:28] <r1verman> sometimes usb keyboard make trouble. perhaps you a ps2-port keyboard available ?
[21:28] <BluesKaj> biossettings, can you try a different keyboard?
[21:28] <GaryD> aye
[21:28] <biossettings> GaryD: It's a medion PC, probably around 4 years old
[21:28] <korisnik> biossettings: try hitting Esc or F2 or Del or F8, some of those will put devices to boot on screen
[21:28] <korisnik> right after you start computer
[21:28] <biossettings> 0erHeks, I tried PS/2, doesn't work either :(
[21:29] <biossettings> BluesKaj, I tried several usbs, and one PS2. Both work in my windows partition, but not in the bios
[21:30] <GaryD> biossettings: i believe to load the boot device screen you need to press F8 during boot.
[21:30] <GaryD> i am not sure...
[21:30] <biossettings> Okay, I will give that a try. It's just weird that this keyboard malfunctions in the bios when i'm able to get into the bios perfectly fine
[21:30] <bencahill> hey, does anyone know why my trash icon is to the left of the desktops icons?
[21:30] <nishttal2> rumpe1, gobbe : $ssh-copy-id nishttal@manu.... /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found
[21:31] <BluesKaj> biossettings, check to make sure the KBs aren't locked , then f1,f2 or even f9 or f10 will get you in
[21:31] <rumpe1> nishttal2, ssh-keygen (no passphrase!)... then try again
[21:32] <nishttal2> rumpe1, on my machine or the server?
[21:32] <rumpe1> nishttal2, your machine
[21:32] <biossettings> BluesKaj, do you mean locked as in Flock? I've tried several times, but once i'm inside the bios, the lights on the keyboard stay static, no matter how many times I push the flock/capslock/numlock keys :S
[21:32] <nishttal2> rumpe1, this looks like its creating a new private key for me
[21:32] <rumpe1> nishttal2, you generate a public key for your machine and transfer it to the server via ssh-copy-id
[21:32] <rumpe1> nishttal2, yes... because you dont have one yet
[21:33] <rumpe1> nishttal2, "no identities found"!
[21:33] <nishttal2> rumpe1, i have a identity file
[21:33] <nishttal2> in ~/.ssh
[21:33] <rumpe1> nishttal2, whats the filename?
[21:33] <BluesKaj> biossettings, what about the arrow keys , can you navigate?
[21:33] <nishttal2> rumpe1, identity
[21:34] <nishttal2> rumpe1, same file I have used for years
[21:34] <nishttal2> rumpe1, and i use this to connect to atleast 10 servers
[21:34] <nishttal2> rumpe1, it stopped working after I formated and reinstalled ubuntu on my machine
[21:35] <bencahill> my trash icon has moved to the left of the desktops icons after changing the screen resolution, any idea how to fix it?
[21:35] <mman> im trying to do a partition but getting an error, can anybody help me?
[21:36] <biossettings> BluesKaj, sorry for the slow reply. No I cannot navigate. It's almost like the keyboard is disabled upon entering the bios.
[21:37] <nishttal2> gobbe, rumpe1 : guess what if I do "ssh -i identiy manu" it works
[21:37] <mman> when i do search devices in gparted the one i want to partition has a "warning" sing
[21:37] <BluesKaj> biossettings,are you trying to change the boot sequence or some such ?
[21:37] <rumpe1> nishttal2, has this file the correct permissions?
[21:37] <rumpe1> nishttal2, fascinating :)
[21:37] <nishttal2> rumpe1, yes 600
[21:38] <nishttal2> rumpe1, but I never had to use -i switch before
[21:39] <nishttal2> rumpe1, do you know why this could be happening
[21:39] <nishttal2> rumpe1, i mean why its expecting "id_rsa" and not taking "identiy"? is there a configuration somewhere?
[21:40] <nicofs> While trying to run ./configure, i get "libX11 not found" - even though it is... what can i do?
[21:40] <biossettings> BluesKaj: Yes, simply trying to boot off of a cd rather than floppy/hd
[21:41] <bencahill> mman: what are you trying to do
[21:41] <rumpe1> nishttal2, test it with a link to the identity-file
[21:41] <bencahill> mman: ?
[21:41] <mman> bencahill, tryingo to do a resize of a disk
[21:41] <mman> bencahill, in that partition windows is installed, i want to resize it and install ubuntu
[21:42] <bencahill> mman: I would suggest backing up important data before resizing
[21:42] <mman> bencahill, yup, done already ;)
[21:42] <bencahill> mman: don't know about the warning sign, can you click on it?
[21:42] <nishttal2> rumpe1, yea the link worked
[21:42] <mman> bencahill, it apperas an error
[21:42] <mman> something with bitmap
[21:43] <rumpe1> nishttal2, super :)
[21:43] <GeekSquid> mman: you need to boot into windows and run chkdsk /f twice to make the drive clean so ntfs-3g can access it, kinda a safety feature in linux
[21:43] <rawrs> how would one send the contents of ifconfig to a certain IP address periodically?
[21:43] <Am3> Hello, i got hands on my friends computer who has ubuntu installed it before and wants to get WinXP with it. I created separeta partition for win and installed it. Now i cant get GRUB menu to choose which OS to use.
[21:43] <nishttal2> rumpe1, but again.. its annoying as i never had to do this
[21:43] <nishttal2> rumpe1, there is definitely somehitng missing
[21:44] <mman> GeekSquid, thats what i was planing now
[21:44] <daedaluz> I have songs with japanese characters but the id3 info is just garbage
[21:44] <flodine> hello everyone
[21:44] <zjoez> hi
[21:44] <flodine> has anyone tryed 10.10 on dell xps 1530m
[21:44] <Am3> I have once managed to open grub console with boot (and after reboot opened it again, went to XP install disk to restore boot and MBR)
[21:44] <rumpe1> nishttal2, don't know your old system and never saw a file called "identity" in my .ssh-folder... :/
[21:45] <nishttal2> rumpe1, found it.. /etc/ssh/ssh_config... uncommented IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
[21:45] <rumpe1> nishttal2, ah... %)
[21:45] <nishttal2> rumpe1, gobbe thanks for your help
[21:45] <flodine> ubuntu dont see the network card
[21:45] <rumpe1> nishttal2, ur welcome
[21:46] <Am3> And how can i get GRUB version from installed system, not from Live CD?
[21:47] <rawrs> how would one send the contents of ifconfig from a headless server to a certain IP address automatically and periodically?
[21:47] <rumpe1> rawrs, cron
[21:48] <rawrs> kk
[21:50] <frankbro> I recently bought a new monitor, 25 inch. I already had a 23 inch and 17 inch and now I'm trying to replace my 17 inch monitor but when I connect my 25 with my 23, they start in miror mode but if I untick the option and monitor and log out and log in, no signals are sent to both monitors, like it close both of them
[21:50] <mman> GeekSquid, thank ;)
[21:50] <biossettings> BluesKaj, I guess you're just as stumped as I am? :S
[21:51] <svip> I am getting a mountall: event failed during start up.
[21:52] <svip> After cancelling the checks on my disks, which are not connected, I cannot continue into the system.
[21:52] <Am3> And also on live CD, if i type sudo grub in terminal i get command not found
[21:53] <wolfric> is it possible to install just the man page for a program
[21:53] <smw> wolfric, no
[21:53] <Jorky> Hello. I am planing to use ubuntu desktop for daily use. Ubuntu will be ony installed OS on my pc and I am still in doubts which arhitecture to use x32 or x64. My hardware is 3gb of ddr2 ram 320gb wd disk intel dualcore 2GB x64 proc. and ati hd4550 graphic?
[21:53] <rumpe1> Am3, "grub" is no command... try "apropos grub" for possible grub-commands
[21:53] <smw> wolfric, but you can look it up online
[21:53] <minus> man pages are available online aswell
[21:54] <minus> Jorky: doesn't actually matter
[21:54] <rumpe1> Jorky, x64 proc. -> x64 ubuntu
[21:54] <tomek`> anyone here successfully runs nvidia ion2/optimus on ubuntu?
[21:54] <smw> wolfric, by "no", I mean that you would need to do it manually
[21:55] <adub> is there a way to rename a media drive
[21:55] <Jorky> rumpe1. But will flash work on x64 arhitecture on firefox and chrome?
[21:55] <minus> yes, works fine
[21:55] <adub> when i mount my hard drive in linux it shows up as /media/9d0423a8-0c6e-45c5-9289-3eb9a8e4e60d
[21:56] <adub> the long number name is kinda annoying
[21:56] <minus> adub: give it a label
[21:56] <minus> tune2fs
[21:56] <adub> is there a way for the drive in fstab upon boot to mount up say /mnt/drivename
[21:56] <tzily> FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKERS WITH YOUR STUPID ASS IRC LOGS THAT ARE OPEN TO PUBLIC AND SHIT ASS GOOGLE
[21:56] <tzily> GO EAT A DICK
[21:56] <rumpe1> adub, anywhere you want
[21:56] <Jorky> O, only one more thing. How much sace should I use for swap. I heard that swap is not nedeed nowadays. Is that true?
[21:56] <KM0201> !ops | tzily
[21:57] <rumpe1> Jorky, depends... suspend-to-disk needs swap e.g.
[21:57] <geckosenator> hi, I want to install libsdl-dev, but it gives me 1.2 not 2.0
[21:57] <adub> minus where would i give it a label sorry never messed with this
[21:57] <iamben> doesn't ubuntu have some kind of gui grub editor, or do i need to edit the grub config by hand? i'm used to grub 1, i hate this "edit a config to help grub generate another config" thing
[21:57] <geckosenator> does anyone know how to modify sources list to give me the newer libraries?
[21:57] <minus> with tune2fs i think
[21:57] <minus> or use gparted or some other tool
[21:57] <KM0201> iamben: you and me both... i don't like grub2
[21:57] <adub> does tune2fs give me the options
[21:58] <Jorky> rumpe1: is suspend-to.disk configured automaticaly after ubuntu install or must be configured manually?
[21:58] <rumpe1> Jorky, automatically
[21:58] <Am3> Anyone could link me to good guide how to return grub menu, i had ubuntu first then i installed WinXP
[21:58] <minus> adub: gparted is really easier if you have a gui
[21:58] <Am3> google has failed me
[21:58] <Jorky> thnx guys
[21:58] <adub> ok
[21:58] <adub> i do i have gparted installed
[21:59] <minus> just rightclick the partition and click label-thing
[21:59] <Am3> Not sure if this computer has gone from 8.04 - 10.10
[21:59] <minus> unmount first
[21:59] <Am3> or 9.04 -
[21:59] <adub> minus sweet got it bro thanks
[22:00] <Zack_Magee> Hi. I have a Nvidia graphics card, and an onboard card. I wanted to use both concorrently. At first I was only getting signal from the Nvidia one, but I both. I changed the settings in my BIOS to Onboard, but it is now only comming from my onboard one. I then installed the Nvidia drivers from Additional Drivers, and then boot hung on checking battery state. I had to remove info from xorg.conf just to boot. Thanks :D
[22:00] <minus> you're welcome
[22:00] <adub> another question i have a crap ton of entries in my grub
[22:00] <adub> i just want to get rid of them
[22:00] <minus> grub2? no idea how to wipe in there
[22:00] <tensorpudding> adub: old kernels?
[22:00] <adub> tensorpudding yes
[22:00] <tensorpudding> you can remove them using the package manager
[22:00] <adub> that and an old windows install
[22:01] <minus> tensorpudding: aren't they removed automatically?
[22:01] <adub> there is still an entry for the windows
[22:01] <mman> adub, everytime you do a kernel update, they will how up there
[22:01] <tensorpudding> minus: sometimes they are not
[22:01] <adub> na i still have all mine i want my lastest kernel to auto load and not give the option either
[22:01] <adub> ya
[22:01] <rumpe1> minus, there should also be an entry in config-file for max. kernels listed
[22:01] <minus> i currently have like 5 in it
[22:01] <mman> adub,  but what exactly do you wan to do?
[22:01] <tensorpudding> http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-with-one-command/
[22:02] <tensorpudding> is helpful
[22:02] <adub> where is the grub.lst i thought is waht the file was called
[22:02] <Zack_Magee> Anyone o_O
[22:02] <minus> thanks for searching :D
[22:02] <tensorpudding> adub: in grub 2, there is no grub.lst
[22:02] <tensorpudding> there is grub.cfg, but don't edit that by hand
[22:02] <adub> oh that is a bummer
[22:03] <tensorpudding> whenever you install a kernel, it runs a script which would clobber said file
[22:03] <tensorpudding> you can edit the configuration files in /etc/grub.d
[22:03] <RobbyNY> Does anyone know how to put AOL on Ubuntu?
[22:04] <RobbyNY> yes I know AOL is olddd
[22:04] <tensorpudding> what do you mean by "put AOL on Ubuntu"
[22:04] <frankbro> I recently changed one of the screen of my dual-monitor setup which was working fine. When I connect the monitor, they are in mirror mode. If I go in system->preference->monitor and I remove the mirror screen option and log out, both monitors turn off, complaining no signals are being sent to them. Why is that? I have to restart the computer and unplug one of the screen to have it working.
[22:04] <RobbyNY> tensor, i like AOL at times.. is there such a program for ubuntu/linux?
[22:05] <tensorpudding> RobbyNY: do you mean the AOL browser? AOL Instant Messenger? which program?
[22:05] <RobbyNY> AOL the program itself
[22:05] <botcity> Zack_Magee: i thought getting a graphics card was suppose to replace the standard
[22:05] <tensorpudding> I don't even know the program you speak of.
[22:05] <Am3> Could anyone help me with dualboot, i need to get grub list working
[22:05] <es-web> Hi, I just installed ubuntu with you gnome or any other window manager. My problem is that when i insert a cd or dvd it is not automounted?

[22:06] <Zack_Magee> botcity: I guess not
[22:06] <es-web> how can i get it to automount on insert?
[22:06] <tensorpudding> RobbyNY: I'm pretty sure that all of AOL's programs are Windows-only
[22:06] <RobbyNY> yea i figured, thnx tho :)
[22:06] <Am3> Doesnt pidgin support aol too?
[22:06] <lamis> why nautilus so slow? how can i make it faster
[22:06] <lamis> Am3: yeah
[22:06] <tensorpudding> RobbyNY: but the AIM protocol is supported in Empathy and Pidgin
[22:07] <RobbyNY> yeah.. i guess im just gonna give up and try something new... i always enjoyed irc
[22:07] <adub> tensorpudding that is a good one man thanks this will clean up some of my grub config
[22:07] <adub> i wonder how i can get the windows entry removed
[22:07] <RobbyNY> is there a way to get rid of the "user has joined/left" ?????

[22:14] <frankbro> botcity: and if by hardware you mean new graphic card, no, its the same
[22:15] <h4f> nicofs: you might need to include those libraries in your build
[22:15] <yigal> adub: sorry, I used to know it's been years, let me think
[22:15] <nicofs> h4f, how?
[22:15] <version7x> anyone know a reason why ntfsresize wouldnt be able to resize an ntfs partion?
[22:15] <h4f> nicofs: not sure. whith what are you building ?
[22:15] <yigal> adub: are you using 10.10?
[22:16] <botcity> you say its a ati graphics card  ? hmm  what graphics card ?

[22:17] <deek0146> Hey
[22:17] <deek0146> I'm having trouble with multiple virtual desktops.

[22:17] <kcorcoran__> anyone care to assist me in setting up mythbuntu?  I have it installed, but not sure of the next step.
[22:17] <yigal> adub: it's the auto part
[22:18] <yigal> adub: "auto"
[22:18] <nicofs> h4f, might sound stupid: in a terminal, typing "./configure"...
[22:18] <frankbro> botcity: a hd4870. But it was working before so I don't get why it stopped working
[22:18] <deek0146> I've got compiz-fusion installed, I opened the GUI manager and enabled desktop wall and 4 horizontal desktops, I know its intercepting the keybindings to switch between them but its not happening
[22:18] <deek0146> Using gnome.
[22:18] <yigal> deek0146: you have compiz running though?
[22:18] <frankbro> botcity: ps, call frankbro so I get a notification :)
[22:19] <deek0146> Ehh
[22:19] <deek0146> No I think probably not... :p
[22:19] <deek0146> How do I have it run?
[22:19] <Armageddon> I need a torrent file editor, please.
[22:19] <yigal> ps -A | grep compiz
[22:19] <yigal> deek0146: do you get anything from that
[22:19] <Armageddon> yigal, he needs to enable it from the right click desktop thingy
[22:19] <yigal> deek0146: or 'pgrep compiz'
[22:20] <deek0146> Didn't find anything
[22:20] <yigal> Armageddon: or use "compiz --replace"
[22:20] <yigal> deek0146: right, it isn't running
[22:20] <Armageddon> yigal, hmm cool
[22:20] <deek0146> Yea :p
[22:20] <yigal> deek0146: so ya do as Armageddon says
[22:20] <yigal> deek0146: or I said
[22:20] <botcity> francoibro: ok !!
[22:21] <Armageddon> deek0146, right click, Change Desktop Background, go to Visual Effecits, and Mark EXTRAS
[22:21] <deek0146> Extras, right
[22:21] <nicofs> alternatively: i just downloaded libX11-1.4.0 - but if i try to install it, "./configure" and make don't work - how can i install that?
[22:21] <deek0146> Cheers guys! :D
[22:21] <Armageddon> deek0146, yes

[22:21] <Armageddon> deek0146, btw you also need to install compinz-config something
[22:22] <deek0146> Yea I did

[22:26] <yigal> Guest65712: ok so first, sudo chown -R username:username /home2
[22:26] <yigal> Guest65712: if you want permissions to work on it
[22:26] <BluesKaj> !pl
[22:26] <yigal> Armageddon: that's even more humerous
[22:26] <es-web> yigal: http://pastebin.com/DvCbRgtR <-- my fstab
[22:26] <Armageddon> yigal, well it might work :p
[22:27] <xxazianxx> any one can help me for 1000fps kernel
[22:27] <yigal> Armageddon: yes it will shutdown my machine but I don't want that
[22:27] <yigal> Armageddon: ?
[22:27] <yigal> es-web: I see, well if you want to automount your dvd drive then search dvd/cd drives fstab
[22:27] <Guest65712> yigal: thnx
[22:27] <deek0146> weeee
[22:28] <deek0146> I forgot how cool desktop cube is
[22:28] <yigal> es-web: I'll find it eventually but I have a lot of other stuff piling up, yikes
[22:28] <Armageddon> yigal, if you force shutdown it before it turns off it might overcome the hybernation/battery poewr
[22:28] <es-web> yigal, np I'll try adding it to fstab to see if that works
[22:29] <botcity> can you pastebin your xorg.cof output from the command line
[22:29] <korisnik> !hr
[22:29] <yigal> es-web: tell me what happens
[22:29] <Guest65712> yigal: any idea on how to make /home2 appear on places in menu????
[22:30] <botcity> frankbro: : can you pastebin your xorg.cof output from the command line
[22:30] <yigal> Guest65712: no clue, sorry
[22:30] <Guest65712> kk
[22:30] <Guest65712> thnx
[22:30] <frankbro> botcity: http://pastebin.com/t6BXMBw1
[22:30] <mkquist> any huge improvements with meerkat over lucid?  other than the idea that it's new?
[22:31] <yigal> Guest65712: drag the folder to the left column in nautilus
[22:31] <yigal> Guest65712: that appears to work
[22:32] <yigal> Guest65712: so open up computer from places
[22:32] <yigal> Guest65712: then drag home2 to the leftbar
[22:32] <yigal> below Trash
[22:33] <Karen_m> does anyone know of a free invoicing software for ubuntu?  gnucash keeps crashing.  I just need a method to write a few invoices
[22:33] <IdleOne> yigal: nice, that is a neat little trick :)

[22:34] <yigal> Guest65712: np
[22:35] <Nanoha> I need help.  I've got a LVM spread across 3 disks totalling 1.8 TB.  I want to reduce the space to only be 750 GB, and create a new partition from the open space that I created.  Can I do this using Gparted?
[22:35] <es-web> yigal: I added /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 to fstab and rebootede but still dosnt work
[22:36] <yigal> es-web: ok, let me think
[22:38] <Karen_m> is there a backports for ubuntu or something?  I need gnucash 2.4.0 that fixes a huge crash.
[22:38] <Elefant> Hi all, can you please explain to me, why developers removed NDISWRAPPER from 2.6.36 and 2.6.37?
[22:38] <yigal> es-web: ok let's try a GUI approach open Nautilus->Edit->Preferences
[22:38] <yigal> es-web: go to the last column
[22:38] <yigal> es-web: Media
[22:38] <MikeHoncho> Just bought a Logitech H330 headset and need to get it up on OpenSound  with Ubuntu 10.10
[22:39] <MikeHoncho> I see it works with PulseAudio, does that mean it will work fine with oss?
[22:39] <yigal> es-web: for DVD/CD what is marked?
[22:39] <es-web> yigal: I got no gui... Im setting up a xbmc machine
[22:39] <Braber01> um i'm trying to dvd::rip Final Fantasy_VII to my computer and sevral of the tracks don't seem to have an audio track is this a problem?
[22:39] <yigal> es-web: nice
[22:39] <Elefant> ath9k is still buggy, ndiswrapper is removed, I can't upgrade kernel. :(
[22:39] <yigal> es-web: so server edition?
[22:40] <es-web> yigal: installed from netboot image, just base system
[22:40] <cognitiaclaeves> I need to get verbose logging for network-manager-vpnc ... for LTS.  Anyone know how to do this?
[22:40] <yigal> es-web: ok, so you can manually mount the DVD?
[22:41] <frankbro> so botcity, saw anything ?
[22:41] <botcity> frankbro: what is the make of monitor
[22:42] <Nanoha> dumb question:  If I delete a logical volume, I delete the data in that volume, right?
[22:42] <frankbro> before, it was 2 samsung, now its a samsung and a hp
[22:42] <yigal> Nanoha: yes
[22:42] <Nanoha> i figured.  *sigh*
[22:42] <yigal> Nanoha: yes, it's happened to me
[22:43] <Nanoha> apparently, I can't reconfigure the LVM using gparted.
[22:43] <Braber01> How do I get a DVD to play? I can't get Final Fantasy VII to play at all
[22:43] <frankbro> botcity: before, it was 2 samsung, now its a samsung and a hp
[22:43] <yigal> Nanoha: I'm not sure I'm mostly CLI these days
[22:43] <Nanoha> cli?
[22:44] <Braber01> command line interface
[22:44] <botcity> which is the larger?
[22:44] <giorgos> hiiii
[22:44] <yigal> ty Braber01
[22:44] <Nanoha> my goal is to eventually learn all the cli.
[22:44] <pr0ph3t> hi all
[22:45] <yigal> Nanoha: from a google search "lvm gparted" I get the impression you are correct
[22:45] <botcity> frankbro:which is the larger ?
[22:45] <yigal> Nanoha: it takes time, but it's worth it
[22:45] <frankbro> botcity: the new one is 25, the one that was already in the old dual-monitor setup is 23
[22:46] <Nanoha> okay.  So, I'll try this.  I'll have to use the cli via ssh and try to shrink the volume on my system, create a new partition, and move my data to this new partition....somehow
[22:46] <pr0ph3t> can somebody tell me if this patch file is ok or if the first part needs to be deleted or something please? http://git.iksaif.net/?p=acpi4asus.git;a=patch;h=7d220c2c2cd249763698db7483fb0e1e7a420f43;hp=b3c89998fae5a0aa447667a1b48256ac00d8b18c
[22:47] <nubuntu> holaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssss
[22:47] <yigal> Nanoha: for your particular case you I've found this very useful http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/410
[22:47] <nubuntu> nock nock anybody there
[22:47] <yigal> Nanoha: in regards to LVM
[22:48] <ebra> hello there
[22:48] <ebra> I have an issue
[22:48] <es-web> yigal: looks like it, when i insert a dvd i can read the folders on that but an audio cd just show up empty
[22:49] <Braber01> is the package libdvdread3 avalible anymore?
[22:49] <ebra> any one have an idea about iptables string matches
[22:49] <mopflite> Braber01: up to libdvdread4 on 10.04, not sure about 10.10
[22:51] <soneal97> Hey guys. I'm trying to install a few .debs for my Canon printer. The thing is, I cannot install them because they are looking for libcupsys2 instead of libcups2. Does anyone know a way to get around this?
[22:51] <ebra> Any one have an idea about iptables string matches
[22:52] <ebra> Any one have an idea bout iptables string matches
[22:52] <yigal> es-web: ok so audio/video/data disks these are all different from a library perspective
[22:53] <yigal> es-web: library meaning the libraries the computer needs to read the files properly
[22:54] <es-web> yigal: okay
[22:54] <yigal> es-web: es-web try apt-get install libcdaudio
[22:55] <yigal> es-web: for this particular case
[22:56] <yigal> es-web: you are using xbmc to play the music?
[22:57] <es-web> yigal: yes, and to rip music to mp3
[22:57] <frankbro> botcity: So, though of something ?
[22:57] <cognitiaclaeves> Finally found how to debug vpnc connections via network-manager buried in this page: http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging .
[22:58] <svip> What is the process called that alt+f2 starts?
[22:58] <yigal> es-web: hmm try downloading crip
[22:58] <yigal> es-web: if you can, it's command line driven
[22:58] <yigal> es-web: tell me if that works
[22:58] <yigal> es-web: it rips cds
[22:59] <yigal> es-web: takes info from musicbrainz.org
[22:59] <es-web> yigal: now i just rebooted and got an error saying /usr/sbin/automount: not found
[23:00] <evelyette__> hi
[23:00] <yigal> es-web: there is no automount
[23:00] <yigal> es-web: bin
[23:00] <evelyette__> is there any command in ubuntu to list installed pam packages ?
[23:01] <yigal> es-web: did you put that in fstab or somewhere else?
[23:02] <es-web> yigal: fstab: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[23:02] <yigal> evelyette__: by pam what do you mean? like libraries
[23:02] <yigal> es-web: looks fine, but change noauto -> auto
[23:02] <evelyette__> yes
[23:03] <yigal> dpkg -l '*pam*'
[23:03] <yigal> evelyette__: as a first approximation
[23:03] <yigal> dpkg -l '*pam*' | grep lib - as a second approx.
[23:03] <es-web> yigal: do I need to install autofs?
[23:04] <yigal> es-web: you don't have to, but I think for what you want to do you should
[23:04] <FrankBro> botcity: Its finlly working now
[23:05] <yigal> es-web: maybe
[23:05] <yigal> es-web: it depends, you don't want to give your computer over to udev or other services then yes download autofs
[23:05] <yigal> es-web: it won't hurt
[23:05] <yigal> evelyette__: was that of any use at all?
[23:06] <botcity> frankbro: what tf !!
[23:06] <es-web> yigal: looks like crip can read the tracks on the audio cd
[23:06] <yigal> es-web: good
[23:06] <evelyette__> yigal, yes thanks
[23:06] <botcity> frankbro: what did you do
[23:06] <yigal> es-web: well at least we've gotton somehwere :D
[23:06] <yigal> evelyette__: good
[23:08] <BlackDalek> HELP !!!! I connected a new HD monitor, and now my wireless card doesn't work? No wireless networks show up at all. Why???
[23:08] <frankbro> botcity: I used ati in sudo, I decreased the resolution of the bigger screen, and then I changed it after boot
[23:08] <frankbro> thats weird tho
[23:09] <yigal> BlackDalek: if you disconnect do you get wireless back?
[23:09] <yigal> hello
[23:09] <yigal> I love irssi
[23:09] <yigal> :D
[23:09] <firmware> yigal: same here, using now.
[23:09] <firmware> yigal: I have a question for you though.
[23:09] <yigal> firmware: go for it
[23:10] <firmware> yigal: I was going through manual/doc - and I'm trying to figure out how to bring up new channel instances...?
[23:10] <botcity> frankbro: hmm : well at least its working for  you ...
[23:10] <firmware> yigal: do I have to bring up another terminal to do so? just another instance of irssi to do so?
[23:10] <yigal> firmware: no
[23:11] <bastetx> happy new year to ubuntu people
[23:11] <yigal> firmware: just "/j #some-other-channel"
[23:11] <firmware> yigal: I did / join channel1,channel2,channel3,channel4 but only brings up one of em
[23:11] <yigal> firmware: or leave off the #
[23:11] <firmware> lemme try
[23:11] <yigal> firmware: I'm not sure if you can automate quite like that
[23:11] <yigal> let me see
[23:11] <es-web> yigal: hmm now i got a error whil mounting /media/cdrom and it hangs on boot where I can press S to skipp or M to manualy fix
[23:11] <firmware> yigal: wrong!
[23:12] <yigal> firmware: that works
[23:12] <firmware> yigal: if I do join, it takes me to the channel. My question was having multiple channels opened...
[23:12] <gsp2009> hey folks. So for a sata drive, I use sdparm right?
[23:12] <firmware> yigal: and disconnects me from current
[23:12] <yigal> firmware: do you mean showing multiple windows?
[23:13] <firmware> try it
[23:13] <firmware> yigal: yes, joining multiple channels and having multiple windows
[23:13] <yigal> es-web: hmm, I'm sorry es-web
[23:13] <yigal> es-web: I'm not sure
[23:13] <yigal> firmware: these are different
[23:13] <firmware> yigal: in this case, would I have to fire up multiple irssi instances to join multiple channels?
[23:13] <wensleydale> hi all. does anyone have any ideas how i can time my computer to play music to wake me up?
[23:13] <yigal> firmware: no
[23:13] <wasutton3> what is about the max data transfer rate i can expcect from a gigabit lan connection and rsync over ssh?
[23:13] <BlackDalek> yigal.. please wait, I am getting the old monitor connected again...
[23:14] <firmware> wasutton3: I found a good tool that can measure throughout for testing purposes.
[23:14] <yigal> firmware: I've joined ~6 channels but I have only one window at a time
[23:14] <yigal> BlackDalek: of course
[23:14] <firmware> yigal: how do you shift through windows?
[23:14] <yigal> the bottom tells me if there's any action on a particular channel
[23:14] <yigal> firmware: try ESC+# for the channel
[23:14] <gsp2009> wensleydale: use cron with the media player of your choice
[23:15] <wasutton3> firmware: what is the tool called
[23:15] <yigal> firmware: ware type ESC and then hit a channel type a number, if my description was confusing
[23:15] <firmware> yigal: that did the trick!
[23:15] <yigal> firmware: excellent, cheers
[23:15] <Res__> Buen año a todos, como agrego en ubuntu 10.10 en el xorg que tengo un monitor LCD Samsung p2350
[23:15] <BlackDalek> yigal, ok.. the wireless card still didn't work when I put the old monitor back.. The new monitor appears to have killed it some how....
[23:16] <wensleydale> gsp2009: thank you. i will look into how to use cron
[23:16] <yigal> BlackDalek: try 'depmod -a' and then 'sudo shutdown -r now'
[23:16] <BlackDalek> yigal,  ok
[23:16] <Res__> Good 2011, input to xorg lcd samsung p2350
[23:17] <jetlinkin> How do I stop ubuntu server from putting my monitor to sleep
[23:17] <gsp2009> wensleydale: no probs. or this too... http://seehuhn.de/pages/sanduhr
[23:17] <yigal> jetlinkin: you're using a tty?
[23:17] <Nanoha> shrinking a lvm is a pain in the ###
[23:17] <yigal> Nanoha: just relax
[23:17] <yigal> Nanoha: :D
[23:17] <jetlinkin> yigal: yes
[23:17] <yigal> jetlinkin: ok
[23:18] <yigal> Nanoha: are you able to do it?
[23:18] <wensleydale> gsp2009: thank you. thats also great! :-)
[23:18] <yigal> Nanoha: once you master it, it's very easy
[23:18] <yigal> Nanoha: of course this is a very general statement but it's true of LVM
[23:19] <wensleydale> good bye all!
[23:19] <saleh> Halo
[23:19] <yigal> jetlinkin: first you need to use setterm
[23:19] <yigal> jetlinkin: the command
[23:19] <BlackDalek> yigal, depmod -a gives "permission denied"
[23:19] <yigal> BlackDalek: sorry, it must be run sudo
[23:20] <yigal> BlackDalek: it will attempt to rescan you're hardware and apply the modules necessary for them
[23:20] <paulo> hi people
[23:20] <Nanoha> I just hope I didn't corrupt my drives
[23:20] <yigal> Nanoha: even if you did that's what fschk is for
[23:21] <skrite> i have a user that i need to give permission to write in the www-data directory. how would i allow a regular user to have all access to user www-data stuff?
[23:21] <PixelPirate> awesome people join ##internet
[23:21] <jetlinkin> yigal: then use powersave off?
[23:21] <rewt> skrite, put the user in the same group as the dir's chgrp
[23:22] <disappearedng_> hey how do I check the last ip for the ssh login?
[23:22] <BlackDalek> yigal, did not work - wireless card still dead
[23:23] <chroniclesofneve> hello, ive installed conky thru synaptic package manager, how do i enable it ?
[23:23] <eremyja__> Blackdalek, what kinda card?
[23:23] <skrite> rewt, you mean the gpasswd -a user desired_user ?
[23:24] <ossis> Quick question...I tried to install something a few days ago and it failed, so I left the terminal but now every time I install other things I think it's trying to continue installing that one...how do you cancel installations of a certain package?
[23:24] <rewt> desired_group
[23:24] <BlackDalek> eremyja, can't remember.. I will find out...
[23:24] <rewt> but yeah
[23:24] <Kingpoke> Hi everyone! Am I the only one having issues with 10.10 and wireless internet connections randomly cutting off?
[23:25] <JediMaster420> is there a special chanel for ubunyu netbook?
[23:25] <msd18> hey guys i have a question
[23:25] <msd18> im re partitioning a hard disk
[23:25] <BlackDalek> eremyja, ralink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus Mini-PCI (rev 01)
[23:25] <ossis> Kingpoke: mine does that too, but I've had that on other versions as well...don't think it's version/OS specific. But I'm not an  expert.
[23:26] <msd18> but cfdisk cant read the hard disk sfdisk says cant red and write to it and the parting tool returns an error
[23:26] <mopflite> disappearedng_: the last command will show you ssh logins however if your machine is compromised its output may not (probably will not be) accurate
[23:26] <msd18> what options do i have
[23:26] <mopflite> disappearedng_: man last
[23:27] <Kingpoke> From my research it might have something to do with using wireless N routers. Do you have a router with N capability?
[23:28] <skrite> rewt: i have done that, chown www-data /var/www and gpasswd -a user www-data logout/in and still cannot write to the folder
[23:28] <BlackDalek> yigal, did not work - wireless card still dead. Card is ralink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus Mini-PCI (rev 01)
[23:28] <mopflite> disappearedng_: last -i to get numeric IP address information
[23:28] <FrozenKnight> Heh, linux is getting pretty easy :) if a noob manages to compile the sources for gimp 2.7 . :) And that's a good thing!
[23:28] <rewt> skrite, did you chown or chgrp the dir?
[23:29] <eremyja__> Blackdalek, I've never used a ralink... I'll have to look it up brb
[23:29] <Martin|2> does anyone know why the PS3 eye camera flickers when recording using cheese? or infact, trying to record anything.
[23:29] <msd18> hey guys
[23:29] <msd18> why cant i format or repart my hard disk?
[23:29] <ossis> Kingpoke: yep, I've got an N
[23:29] <shantanu0> Trying to configure pam ldap on Ubuntu, I am unable to find system-auth in pam.d directory. Usually thats the way I configure on CentOS. Any help where can I find it (equivalent)?
[23:30] <msd18> i get ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sfdisk /dev/sda /dev/sda: Permission denied  sfdisk: cannot open /dev/sda read-write
[23:30] <Nanoha> msd18: s it mounted?
[23:30] <msd18> ummm idk i forgot the mount command
[23:31] <Nanoha> umount
[23:31] <Nanoha> umount /dev/sda
[23:31] <msd18> umount: /dev/sda is not mounted (according to mtab)
[23:31] <eremyja__> Nanoha don't u need a location to mount it to?
[23:31] <Kingpoke> ossis: AHA! That helps with finding a solution... There has to be a way to disable N and leave G permanently, Thanks!
[23:31] <Nanoha> is the system in a readonly status?
[23:31] <msd18> its a bootable cd
[23:31] <hartman> I understand intrepid is sundowned but can someone give me a line to add to /etc/apt/sources.list from which I can apt-get install postfix ?
[23:31] <Nanoha> umount , un mount
[23:31] <msd18> im trying to part the hard disk
[23:31] <msd18> and i cant
[23:32] <hartman> I tried using lucid line, and it apt-get installs okay, but when it's all done postfix isn't running and /etc/init.d/postfix start doesn't start it
[23:32] <Nanoha> are you using a live cd?
[23:32] <ossis> Kingpoke: haha, welcome...I'd ask you to let me know if you find something out :P but I'm not staying on here long
[23:32] <msd18> ya
[23:32] <hartman> install from sourced also didn't work ootb.
[23:32] <eremyja__> Nanoha oops! :P
[23:32] <hartman> or basically any help gettin to a sendmail command on my intrepid box is appreciated
[23:32] <Nanoha> you should just be able to follow the install  and use gparted to do it
[23:33] <hartman> wish i could upgrade to lucid but legacy......
[23:33] <msd18> gparted says no avail devices
[23:33] <Kingpoke> I'll be back in 2 minutes if youre still around ill link what I found.
[23:33] <msd18> the startup install sees nothing
[23:33]  * Nanoha hates the idea of upgrading
[23:33] <msd18> but the disk util sees it
[23:33] <msd18> but cant format it
[23:33] <ossis> So, does anyone know how to cancel installations? It seems to be trying an installation again for something that failed a few days ago every time I try to install other things...
[23:33]  * Nanoha is suffering with a down server because of upgrading. LOL
[23:33] <eremyja__> Nanoha +1
[23:34] <msd18> nanoha would i have 2 mount sda to format it?
[23:34] <Nanoha> ossis: I'm not 100% sure, but would dpkg --configure -a maybe fix that?
[23:34] <ZykoticK9> msd18, you can't mount what isn't formatted - impossible
[23:35] <eremyja__> Ossis, just a sec, trying to remember how I ff it
[23:35] <dmaxel> msd18, no, usually being able to format means having it unmounted
[23:35] <Nanoha> I don't think it can be mounted if you're going to format it...but I'm not sure
[23:35] <msd18> thats my point so why cant i format it
[23:35] <r00t4rd3d> how do i tell exactly what driver is running a usb device ?
[23:35] <Hilikus> can someone help me configure alsa for 5.1. i try the sound test and i only hear front left and right. i don't use pulse audio or gnome
[23:35] <msd18> it says permission denied
[23:35] <dmaxel> msd18, use sudo
[23:35] <msd18> i did
[23:35] <Nanoha> I know there is a command I think that tells you the system state write/readonly?
[23:36] <msd18> sudo sfdisk works
[23:36] <ossis> Nanoha: could that command result in anything bad if I try it? I don't know what it means.
[23:36] <yigal> sorry anyone I was helping I'm a wandering Jew so my internet connection isn't always there
[23:36] <Quantum_Ion> yigal, Wandering from where ?
[23:37] <skullboy> all my keyboard shortcuts are not showing
[23:37] <yigal> Quantum_Ion: mostly Southern California, ah the sun
[23:37] <rumpe1> ossis, maybe sudo apt-get -f install ?
[23:37] <msd18> nanoha wats the params i would use on sfdisk to part it for ext3
[23:37] <Quantum_Ion> yigal, Did you parents leave you an inheritance ?
[23:37] <firmware> okay
[23:38] <firmware> who was the guy that wanted the throughput testing tool?
[23:38] <yigal> Quantum_Ion: no
[23:38] <skullboy> all my keyboard shortcuts are not showing
[23:38] <yigal> Quantum_Ion: why?
[23:38] <Quantum_Ion> yigal, Jewish parents always leave their children an inheritance
[23:38] <Kingpoke> ossis: Try pasting this command on your terminal : cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
[23:38] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[23:38] <eremyja__> Ossis, apt-get clean && apt-get update
[23:38] <firmware> I found the name of it.
[23:38] <yigal> Quantum_Ion: yes you are good at generalizations
[23:38] <skullboy> all my keyboard shortcuts are not showing and i did not touch them
[23:38] <Quantum_Ion> yigal, It is true
[23:38] <ShootEmUp> Hello Everyone!
[23:39] <Nanoha> sorry, I was stiring noodles.
[23:39] <yigal> Quantum_Ion: I will block you soon
[23:39] <msd18> nanoha
[23:39] <dwarder> !apparmor
[23:39] <Quantum_Ion> yigal, lol hahah a poor jew is funny omg
[23:39] <Myrtti> Quantum_Ion: please keep to the topic of the channel
[23:39] <msd18> wats the partition id for ext3
[23:39] <yigal> Quantum_Ion: having food in the belly is enough
[23:39] <dwarder> is it preffered one? over selinux and others alike in ubuntu?
[23:39] <Nanoha> hold on...let me look i tiup
[23:39] <jpds> dwarder: Yes.
[23:39] <skullboy> all my keyboard shortcuts are not showing and i did not touch them
[23:39] <firmware> yigal: with irssi how to scroll to top of chat?
[23:39] <dwarder> jpds: thanks
[23:39] <Kingpoke> ossis: Thats just going to tell you if ipv6 is active from what i hear it causes disconnections and slows down your internet... look it up.
[23:40] <jpds> dwarder: Though you can use SELinux on Ubuntu.
[23:40] <skullboy> all my keyboard shortcuts are not showing and i did not touch them and ctrl alt l is not working
[23:40] <yigal> firmware: you have to use page up, page down Home END
[23:40] <eremyja__> Ossis or 'rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/*
[23:40] <shcherbak> Quantum_Ion: dont you want to go, and stuff yourself... elsewhere?
[23:40] <firmware> yigal: Thanks!
[23:40] <yigal> firmware: good
[23:40] <Kingpoke> ossis: I disabled mine lets see if it helps me (fingers crossed)
[23:40] <shcherbak> too late
[23:41] <home_> ...
[23:41] <home_> cant play RoM from ubuntu
[23:41] <home_> have to dual boot for performance..
[23:41] <skullboy> all my keyboard shortcuts are not showing and i did not touch them and ctrl alt l is not working
[23:41] <home_> since my gfx cant handle it
[23:41] <home_> in linux
[23:41] <gart> how do i get the live usb version of ubuntu?
[23:41] <yigal> home_: and you want us to cry for you?
[23:42] <dr4c4n> yigal: ouch
[23:42] <ossis> eremyja: it still says "1 not fully installed or removed" when I try to install anything else.
[23:42] <BlackDalek> yigal, will output of iwconfig help at all?
[23:42] <adub> would it hurt anything if i change an extended partition to a primary my stupid linux install is under an extended dunno why
[23:42] <yigal> dr4c4n: :D
[23:42] <Nanoha> msd18: type 83
[23:42] <home_> yigal: I am still not sure, how the hell I hit 80 celsius >.>
[23:42] <yigal> BlackDalek: yes, but do an "sudo ifconfig -a" and tell me what devices you have
[23:42] <eremyja__> Ossis did u run both commands? And they succeded?
[23:43] <yigal> home_: that's extreme
[23:43] <ossis> Kingpoke: that command didn't seem to do anything at all?
[23:43] <msd18> ok
[23:43] <gart> !usb
[23:43] <gart> >.>
[23:43] <yigal> home_: but not that bad
[23:43] <home_> yigal: Yes, from running runescape once.. and now it almost happened to Runes of magic also.. via wine.. there needs to be more native linux games :/
[23:44] <yigal> home_: can't aruge there ;D
[23:44] <Nanoha> okay, so I can't issue a resize2fs command without executing a e2fsck command first, which errors out.   Grrr!
[23:44] <Kingpoke> ossis: It should return either a 1 or 0 which essentially means  ipv6 is on or off
[23:44] <home_> yigal: With RoM it could go over 80 celsius
[23:44] <eremyja__> Blackdalek, what card do u have again?
[23:44] <yigal> home_: I have very simple machines nothing that could play any serious game :D
[23:45] <henken> I'm having some problems changing keyboard layout in Maverick. When I add a new layout to the list, it shows up in the list of the settings window, but not in the applet on the panel, and I can't change to it. Anybody encountered that problem?
[23:45] <yigal> home_: do you have a question?
[23:45] <ossis> eremyja: the second command doesn't seem to do anything?
[23:45] <home_> yigal: Its related to dual booting win 7, with a prexisting ubuntu 10.10 installation
[23:45] <ossis> Kingpoke: ah, it gave a 0
[23:45] <BlackDalek> yigal, it's not like I can copy and paste from the sick computer to this laptop, but ifconfig shows a eth0 and lo, and the wireless comes under wlan2. What info from that do you need? eremyja it is a Ralink RT2500 PCI card.
[23:45] <home_> yigal: If I do install windows, I want to make sure I can still dual boot into my ubuntu
[23:46] <yigal> home_: what you will most likely have to do is install Windows, then boot from CD/DVD of Ubuntu and install grub
[23:46] <yigal> home_: installing grub is what you need to dual boot
[23:47] <home_> ah :)
[23:47] <home_> that fixes it >.>
[23:47] <yigal> home_: good
[23:47] <msd18> hey nanoha
[23:47] <msd18> ubuntu@ubuntu:/sbin$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda  Unable to read /dev/sda
[23:47] <msd18> what am i doing wrong
[23:47] <Am3> yigal, have any ideas how can i get grub menu out after i first installed ubu then windoes
[23:47] <zeleftikam> does anyone know of an IRC client for Ubuntu that can speak relevant chat out loud?
[23:47] <eremyja__> Ossis, run it again but change the rm -rf with dir
[23:48] <yigal> Am3: absolutely you need to boot from the DVD/CD you used to install Ubuntu
[23:48] <JediMaster420> my unbutu netbook instalation is taking up 3.5 gigs ( think the only extra stuff I have is filezilla and VLC media player) is this normal?  If not is there a way to sort installed packages by size in the package manager?
[23:48] <skullboy> ctrl alt l does not work
[23:48] <Nanoha> zeleftikam: if you find one, please let me know!  that sounds NEAT
[23:49] <home_> yigal: Loaded runes of magic, but no EULA..... or any windows
[23:49] <home_> LOL the first time I ran any graphical game in ubuntu
[23:49] <ossis> eremyja__: when I change it to dir it says  root@Ossis:/home/ossis# dir /var/cache/apt/archives/
[23:49] <ossis> dir: cannot access /var/cache/apt/archives/: No such file or directory
[23:49] <yigal> Am3: I searched for it and this is what I got https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[23:49] <skullboy> ctrl alt l does not work
[23:49] <yigal> looks reasonable
[23:49] <home_> it hits insane temps and then stays at idle.. ... wow
[23:49] <msd18> why cant i work with my sda drive
[23:50] <yigal> home_: ya, I understand, I don't play games other than chess and go but I wanted to use some optical character recognition apps. in Linux and that was impossible
[23:50] <Kingpoke> ossis: Great now you want to edit a file called sysctl.conf in term type sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
[23:50] <kshawkeye1> Hey I have a quick question about how DNS works, anyone know a little something about servers and how the web is set up?
[23:50] <yigal> home_: sometimes Windows has what is required
[23:50] <home_> yigal: yes, makes me feel ashamed and little :/
[23:50] <aeon-ltd> kshawkeye1: just ask the actual question
[23:50] <linxeh> kshawkeye1: #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps ? :) and ask!!
[23:51] <home_> yigal: But in time, linux will get better
[23:51] <yigal> home_: yes
[23:51] <ossis> Kingpoke: what do I want to edit in here?
[23:51] <yigal> home_: it is
[23:51] <linxeh> yigal: some of the best ICR tools run on Linux...
[23:51] <home_> yigal: True...
[23:51] <yigal> linxeh: OCR?
[23:51] <linxeh> ICR
[23:51] <home_> yigal: The temps to play the games are stable now.. wow I am impressed
[23:51] <msd18> grrr wtf i need help with my dam hard disk
[23:52] <kshawkeye1> Is there any way to set up a DNS server that handles something like "kshawkeye.com" or something similar, or would I need to pay something like godaddy because they register it with some sort of list that I cant access? Whats the real use of BIND?
[23:52] <msd18> its getting fuckin annoying
[23:52] <yigal> linxeh: intelligent character recog.?
[23:52] <eremyja__> Ossis, which version u using?
[23:52] <yigal> linxeh: absolutely
[23:52] <Yamagushi> hi
[23:52] <yigal> ohayo
[23:52] <linxeh> yigal: yes, or Image Character Recognition (depending on who you speak to)
[23:52] <Yamagushi> im new to linux, ive been looking around for how to get on firefox 4's current beta
[23:52] <msd18> -.-
[23:52] <Yamagushi> all the guides seem to be for minefield
[23:52] <home_> Anyone here play runes of magic? Need to know how to get the EULA working
[23:52] <Yamagushi> which i dont want
[23:53] <Yamagushi> and the download is just the folder
[23:53] <Ioniz3D> hello all
[23:53] <Myrtti> !language | msd18
[23:53] <Lantchips> Minefield is firefox 4
[23:53] <Yamagushi> im aware
[23:53] <Yamagushi> i dont want the daily build
[23:53] <Yamagushi> i want the current beta
[23:53] <Yamagushi> 8
[23:53] <Yamagushi> i suppose
[23:53] <FloodBot1> Yamagushi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:53] <yigal> linxeh: yes there has been some great work done, just not quite up to what is needed for book scanning
[23:53] <msd18> ya i would but no one seems to even listen 2 me even tho i wrote 20 lines of a question
[23:53] <yigal> linxeh: I made my own bookscanner
[23:53] <linxeh> yigal: I used to work in a government research dept that had a strong interest in ICR (and developed their own for some situations). Abby Finereader and ScanSoft both ran well on unix (better than on windows in the case of Abby) and were about the best available.
[23:54] <msd18> u try to part a disk with nothing but errors
[23:54] <linxeh> yigal: have you tried abby ?
[23:54] <msd18> and no help from anyone
[23:54] <Myrtti> msd18: patience, young padawan
[23:54] <ossis> eremyja: 10.10 maverick
[23:54] <msd18> ull cuss as well
[23:54] <linxeh> err abbyy even
[23:54] <home_> is there a wine channel I can join
[23:54] <ossis> eremyja__: 10.10 maverick
[23:54] <yigal> linxeh: yes but abby via command line is not so easy
[23:54] <rp2> if anything is family-friendly, I'd say it's fucking
[23:54] <linxeh> yigal: we used the SDK
[23:54] <msd18> dude its a simple matter why cant i part a hard disk thats unmounted
[23:54] <yigal> linxeh: that's what I got my hands on for Linux
[23:55] <yigal> linxeh: it was almost there
[23:55] <msd18> ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda  Unable to read /dev/sda
[23:55] <Lantchips> home_: I think its #winehq
[23:55] <Yamagushi> =(
[23:55] <kshawkeye1> Is there any way to set up a DNS server that handles something like "kshawkeye.com" or something similar, or would I need to pay something like godaddy because they register it with some sort of list that I cant access? Whats the real use of BIND?
[23:55] <Yamagushi> anyone?
[23:55] <msd18> anyone know why fdisk cant read the hard disk?
[23:56] <Yamagushi> surely theres a PPA for the non-daily build of firefox
[23:56] <Yamagushi> i want the current beta, not daily build
[23:56] <linxeh> yigal: we spent considerable time writing algorithms to preprocess images before recognition, we got up to about 80% accuracy on some languages, 95% or more on English
[23:56] <msd18> -face palm- u guys are no help wat so ever
[23:56] <linxeh> yigal: we found 200dpi was about the sweetspot
[23:56] <nit-wit> msd18, what command did you run
[23:56] <yigal> linxeh: I'm a physicist trying now to do work in biological sciences so research on icr is really more of a pragmatic approach to digitize the books I use so I can read them on my boxes
[23:56] <msd18> i ran ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda  Unable to read /dev/sda
[23:57] <yigal> linxeh: oh man this is great, I'm very glad to meet you
[23:57] <yigal> linxeh: can you give me some links?
[23:57] <Ryu_Kurisu> Yamagushi: Isn't it a small google search away?
[23:57] <home_> I mainly use linux to learn programming and learn about servers
[23:57] <msd18> cfdisk ays fatal error can not open disk drive
[23:57] <msd18> says*
[23:57] <home_> But I wonna game now... :/ *sigh*

[23:57] <DBoyz> the installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk <-- i get that error when i tried to install ubuntu 10.10
[23:57] <Lantchips> home_ Try #winehq
[23:57] <Yamagushi> Ryu_Kurisu:  you would think
[23:57] <Yamagushi> ive not found anything
[23:57] <msd18> does nothing
[23:57] <kshawkeye1> Is there any way to set up a DNS server that handles something like "kshawkeye.com" or something similar, or would I need to pay something like godaddy because they register it with some sort of list that I cant access? Whats the real use of BIND?
