[00:00] <newbie1> mmm...that was old FAT limit before NTFS
[00:00] <newbie1> doesnt make sense to me
[00:01] <zaery> Boursier: yup, a .tar.gz is pretty much the same type of file as a .zip or a .rar
[00:01] <mhahe> guys major headache here. i deleted the main panel and ive looked online and from what ive read i just "alt+f2; gnome-panel". firstly i cant alt+f2 since my keyboard layout is abit messed up cause im using mac and its a new install. and when i do it in terminal it says its already active or open... so i tried gnome-panel restart and my panel reappears but when i close down the terminal it disapears again :S
[00:01] <MM12> sam-_- no use :(
[00:02] <kroq-gar78> mhahe - have you tried resetting the panels?
[00:02] <newbie1> MM12: give a try to the web link procedure i sent before
[00:02] <etfb> What do you call the "add to panel" items.  If I want to google for a particular one, what search term will work?  Applets?
[00:02] <kroq-gar78> applets
[00:02] <sam-_-> Sephnroth, try adding: guest ok = yes
[00:03] <vocx> mhahe, probably next time you reboot the computer the panel will be there, so I wouldn't worry much about it
[00:03] <kroq-gar78> etfb: they're called applets, yes
[00:03] <mhahe> kroq-gar78, ive done gnome-panel reset in terminal ... once i kill terminal the changes go back to the way it was (no panel)
[00:03] <kisuke> ok, is there a standard way to fix an AWOL MBR?
[00:03] <newbie1> Awol means?
[00:03] <zaery> would it be bad to use fsck -y?
[00:03] <kisuke> Absent WithOut leave
[00:04] <etfb> kroq-gar78, then it's not my google-fu that's lacking, it's just that what I want doesn't exist...
[00:04] <kroq-gar78> did you look up online? there are tutorials saying somethnig about removing the directoreies
[00:04] <Sephnroth> sam-_-: ok will try that
[00:04] <sam-_-> MM12, sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1401          does this say anything useful
[00:04] <TLF> hello
[00:04] <kroq-gar78> eftb: og, sorry if that seemed insulting :S
[00:04] <etfb> I have a VPN all set up.  How can I trigger it (connect and disconnect) from the terminal.
[00:04] <kisuke> newbie1: Absent WithOut Leave
[00:05] <kroq-gar78> *i mean oh not og
[00:05] <newbie1> ok
[00:05] <etfb> Something like "vpn-connect MyWorkVPN [Enter]"
[00:05] <TLF> some time ago, when I choosed to change a filename, it selected only the part before the dot (in GNOME) how can I reenable that behaviour?=
[00:05] <newbie1> it's like a not well closed filesystem?
[00:05] <Sephnroth> its not having it sam-_-
[00:06] <ajcis55> Anyone in here maybe able to help with 10.04 server issues? I have no network available, and I am unable to run basic commands such as ls, ps, and ifconfig.
[00:06] <edbian> ajcis55: You can't run ls ?
[00:06] <vocx> TLF, that's weird, I didn't know you can disable that. If it can be changed, I guess it would be in gconf
[00:06] <edbian> ajcis55: What does it say?
[00:06] <sam-_-> Sephnroth, i don't understand. you mean it didn't work?
[00:06] <newbie1> what network do you have
[00:06] <ajcis55> Server was working finr 24 hours ago. Then when I looked at it this morning it wasn't working.
[00:06] <ajcis55> bash: /bin/ls: no such file or directory.
[00:06] <Sephnroth> yeah it made no difference
[00:06] <TLF> vocx: yeah, I guess it too, but what to change? :D
[00:06] <edbian> ajcis55: That's really bad.  can you cd there?
[00:06] <ajcis55> Yes. I have a cd in there.
[00:07] <kroq-gar78> mhoho - also, the alt-f2 things are just terminal commands, so if uyou can open terminal, just run those commands
[00:07] <ajcis55> It's a vm.
[00:07] <TLF> vocx: at least, do you know how that feature it's called to do a search on google?
[00:07] <edbian> ajcis55:what?  no no, can you cd to that directory?
[00:07] <ajcis55> oh
[00:07] <ajcis55> yes
[00:07] <MM12> sam-_- http://pastebin.com/tbCGnhHc
[00:07] <ajcis55> I can cd to /bin and /sbin
[00:07] <newbie1> maybe the permissions went wrong?
[00:07] <ajcis55> but running the commands returns the same error.
[00:07] <edbian> ajcis55: can you use the file browser to see if you do in fact have a /bin/ls ??
[00:07] <ajcis55> I do.
[00:08] <ajcis55> dir /bin/ls does return files.
[00:08] <sam-_-> Sephnroth, don't know. ask in #samba
[00:08] <ajcis55> err, the file.
[00:08] <vocx> ajcis55, do this "echo $PATH"
[00:08] <ajcis55> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin::/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[00:09] <newbie1> very odd
[00:09] <ajcis55> It's a vm and I can't get ssh access with the network down, so I have to manually type outputs.
[00:09] <Boursier> zaery, ok .. I extracted the package but didn't find the ".exe" file ..
[00:09] <vocx> ajcis55, is that correct, double colon ::   ?
[00:09] <edbian> Boursier: You won't.   .exe files are executables for windows
[00:09] <ajcis55> No
[00:09] <ajcis55> Single
[00:10] <zaery> boursier: only windows uses .exe's, what did you find, a .deb?
[00:10] <newbie1> maybe he will use wine
[00:10] <ajcis55> I just typo'd it in here.
[00:10] <WhatToDo> im going to try burning with UDF
[00:10] <ibankai7> Hi, can someone please help me, i just recently installed ubuntu 10.10 fornet book and just did a reboot for updates , when i reboot it directs me to the tty and asks me to log in, then i see an error saying memory corruption in low memory, please help!
[00:10] <newbie1> it's better
[00:10] <sam-_-> MM12, sudo usb_modeswitch -H -v 12d1 -p 1401 what does this one say?
[00:10] <Boursier> zaery, .. no .. nothing but .py
[00:10] <edbian> Boursier: it's python !  yay :)
[00:11] <zaery> that's a python script, do you know if you have python installed?
[00:11] <newbie1> ibankai7: i will run a memtest to check the ram
[00:11] <edbian> Boursier: python is installed by default
[00:11] <edbian> ibankai7: I second that opinion
[00:11] <ibankai7> how do you run a mem test?
[00:11] <MM12> sam-_- http://pastebin.com/067z1ZYM this
[00:12] <zaery> edbian: then it's been a long time since i've installed a computer, lol, i forgot that :D
[00:12] <Boursier> zaery, do you mean about the python ide ?
[00:12] <wei_> quit
[00:12] <jeffreyf> easiest way, boot from a livecd and you can run it from there
[00:12] <Boursier> zaery, I have to open this with that?
[00:12] <ajcis55> No more ideas?
[00:12] <newbie1> dont you have the boot option with it? if not download a small distribution with that built in and put on a usb key
[00:12] <rautamiekka> The SSH takes many seconds to ask for the password even on LAN: how to fix ?
[00:12] <edbian> ibankai7: Boot the computer, press shift while it boots before you see any Ubuntu things.  You will get a menu, one of the items should be memtest+ it tests your ram
[00:12] <jeffreyf> ibankai7: easiest way, boot from a livecd and you can run it from there
[00:13] <edbian> Boursier: Make the executable and just run them.  What program is this?
[00:13] <zaery> boursier: i havent used python in forever, but you should just be able to double click it
[00:13] <ibankai7> thank you i will try that
[00:13] <vocx> Boursier, what are you trying to install. Downloading and installing packages from the internet like that is not recommended.
[00:13] <edbian> zaery: It's probably not marked executable right out of hte package
[00:13] <newbie1> rautamiekka: always done that issue? or only since a particular moment?
[00:13] <sam-_-> MM12, could you post a dmesg now?
[00:13] <fizy[laptop]> ever since i changed my password, when ever i log in, i have to put in my old pasword into a password keyring thing. anyone know how to fix this???
[00:13] <zaery> edbian, true, i'll just shut up now :D
[00:13] <rautamiekka> newbie1: Been that way for years.'
[00:14] <newbie1> have you searched for a likely bug or known solution?
[00:14] <edbian> zaery: I'm just trying to help!  Didn't mean to step on your toes :)
[00:14] <newbie1> seems very bad
[00:14] <Boursier> zaery, ok thanks for tha advice ... don't worry I'm in the cm ..but how can I make the executable
[00:14] <victorhugo289> what uo
[00:14] <sam-_-> MM12, dmesg |tail -n 20       20 lines should be enough
[00:14] <victorhugo289> what up
[00:15] <victorhugo289> kicking butt
[00:15] <zaery> boursier, right click it, properties>permissions>checkbox at the bottom
[00:15] <rautamiekka> newbie1: No solutions, only bugs if something.
[00:15] <edbian> Boursier: right click it, go to properties, go to permissions, check the executable box
[00:15] <MM12> sam-_- thanks for your patience, here http://pastebin.com/80VncLmM
[00:15] <newbie1> sorry, cant help you more
[00:15] <zaery> edbian: it's cool, you're just supplying slightly more correct information than i am :)
[00:15] <victorhugo289> I can't help you more.
[00:15] <edbian> zaery: hahaha :)
[00:16] <fizy[laptop]> ever since i changed my password, when ever i log in, i have to put in my old pasword into a password keyring thing. anyone know how to fix this???
[00:16] <victorhugo289> @Fizy, what about.... "Passwords and Encryptions keys"
[00:16] <fizy[laptop]> tried that
[00:16] <vocx> zaery, edbian I suggest you you help him to install a package from the repositories instead of just telling him to run a random python script from the net. What is he installing anyway?
[00:17] <edbian> Boursier: What program is this?
[00:18] <ajcis55> vocx, edbian: are you guys out of ideas already?
[00:18] <Boursier> edbian:  its a work test from a friend ..
[00:18] <victorhugo289> @Fizy, I used to have some unused passwords in there, and I had to "Unlock my keyring" about 5 times in a row. I hated it.
[00:18] <edbian> ajcis55: What is the issue again?
[00:18] <newbie1> MM12 maybe 40 lines is better
[00:18] <vocx> fizy[laptop], why do you have to put your password? Is this to turn on the wireless connection in a laptop. I didn't know you needed that.
[00:18] <ajcis55> bash: /bin/ls: no such file or directory.
[00:18] <Boursier> edbian: I did it , but it doesn't executes ..
[00:18] <newbie1> there is no reference to the modem there, only mass storage
[00:18] <ajcis55> Same for ifconfig, ps, and others.
[00:18] <edbian> Boursier: k, just no, someone could write a program that does very bad things with / to your computer.  If you trust the person that gave you this program than it is safe to run.
[00:19] <edbian> Boursier: Try to run it from the terminal
[00:19] <MM12> sam-_- http://pastebin.com/sh262Bh6
[00:19] <fizy[laptop]> vocx that is one thing that happens. i put in myold and obnoxious password and the wifi connects
[00:19] <newbie1> ajcis55: did you saw anything strange in dmesg?
[00:19] <vocx> ajcis55, I don't know about your problem specifically. I think you mentioned something about a virtual machine, but didn't read your question from the beginning. Perhaps, repost your question altogether.
[00:20] <Boursier> oh yes .. i'll try .. but don't worry .. he has my trust ..
[00:20] <Boursier> edbian: oh yes .. i'll try .. but don't worry .. he has my trust ..
[00:20] <edbian> Boursier: just making sure
[00:20] <ajcis55> Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with linux. I normally run things from webmin.
[00:21] <ajcis55> The problem is that as of this morning, a ubuntu 10.04 install suddenly started reporting that many of the common commands aren't working. Error is "no such file or directory"
[00:21] <ajcis55> Additionally, I have no network access, which I think is another symptom of the initial problem.
[00:21] <newbie1> WhatToDo: it's so slow?
[00:21] <ajcis55> ifconfig, ps, and ls are three that I KNOW don't work.
[00:21] <sam-_-> MM12, oh god. maybe we made a mistake.
[00:21] <MM12> sam-_- knowing the mistake is half the solution! :)
[00:22] <ducktype> someone know of some glitch thath prevents upstart job to start: "start on (started mysql)" ?
[00:22] <WhatToDo> newbie1: i quit the first sim and checked udf and now its resimming -_-
[00:22] <ducktype> only on boot, manually works!!
[00:22] <sam-_-> MM12, ls -al /dev/ttyUSB*  does it list any devices?
[00:22] <cooz202> login problem - Server is already active for display 0
[00:22] <Boursier> edbian: thanks for caring, how can I run from the terminal?
[00:23] <newbie1> ok, i leave now btw, maybe we see each other tonight, or daily if i figure how to enter irc from office network :-)
[00:23] <vocx> ajcis55, was that in a virtual machine? It's still not clear.
[00:23] <wei_yao> quit
[00:23] <newbie1> it's possible to mark a nickname like a favorite in some ways?
[00:23] <ajcis55> Yes, this is a virtual machine.
[00:23] <MM12> sam-_- 3 devices, USB0,USB1,USB2
[00:23] <ajcis55> It's been working fine for ~6 months.
[00:24] <cooz202> tried - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:24] <sam-_-> MM12, then network manager should work with the modem now
[00:24] <vocx> ajcis55, try running any command with its full path, /bin/ls
[00:24] <ajcis55> Tried.
[00:24] <ajcis55> Same error.
[00:24] <ajcis55> bash: /sbin/ifconfig: no such file or directory.
[00:25] <ajcis55> That's when trying /sbin/ifconfig
[00:25] <WhatToDo> mkisofs returned an unknown error (code 255)
[00:25] <sam-_-> MM12, in fact delete the file: /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1401
[00:25] <cooz202> get to new console with - sudo startx -- :1 vt10   >> logged is as root
[00:25] <vocx> ajcis55, perhaps the partition got an error and the filesystem was mounted with no executable permissions. Perhaps reboot?
[00:26] <sebastian> czesc
[00:26] <ajcis55> Tried rebooting.
[00:26] <ajcis55> As well as full suhtdown and power up.
[00:26] <cooz202> any ideas how to get login with user (non-root) account?
[00:27] <ajcis55> dir, mkdir, rmdir work. ifconfig, ls, ps don't.
[00:27] <zaery> i have a hdd that's lost it's init twice, and needed a major fsck each time, does that tell me i need to get a new drive, before this one melts?
[00:27] <Boursier> hey all, how can i run an executable tar.gz?
[00:28] <g__> hi, is there a default hex viewer with ubuntu?
[00:28] <newbie1> the error come up at the end WhatToDo?
[00:28] <sam-_-> MM12, delete the file: /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1401
[00:28] <sam-_-> MM12, it could cause problems
[00:28] <cooz202> login problem - Server is already active for display 0
[00:28] <WhatToDo> newbie1: at the end of the sim. it hasnt started burning and doesnt seem like it will
[00:28] <fizy[laptop]> wow nice nick ubuntu
[00:28] <newbie1> zaery: how are the Smart parameters of the disk? special the reallocated sector count
[00:28] <vocx> Boursier, you cannot.     I guess you didn't run the python file you wanted.
[00:28] <MM12> sam-_- done
[00:29] <sam-_-> MM12, so does it work now?
[00:29] <newbie1> WhatToDo: was an iso image or something else?
[00:29] <Boursier> vocx: what you mean?
[00:30] <MM12> sam-_- no luck :( network manager cant see it, neither can gnome-ppp
[00:30] <Mrokii> Hello. I've already asked in #winehq (without a helping answer), so: WINE doesn't give me any sounds after deinstalling OSS and re-installing ALSA/PulseAudio. Does anybody have a clue what could be the problem?
[00:30] <zaery> newbie1: smart is not supported :/
[00:30] <WhatToDo> newbie1: the .iso
[00:30] <cooz202> login problem - Server is already active for display 0
[00:30] <cooz202> tried - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:30] <vocx> Boursier, you need to understand what you are doing and not just attempting to run things mindlessly. You cannot even extract a tar.gz, you need more training. Ask your friends for instructions.
[00:31] <WhatToDo> newbie1: i read something online about maybe being a corrupt file but i doubt it
[00:31] <newbie1> i read the same thing online
[00:31] <newbie1> you have to doublecheck to be sure
[00:31] <sam-_-> MM12, sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1446 -V 0x12d1 -P 0x1401 then post the output of this again. and then the output of dmesg | tail -n 20
[00:31] <WhatToDo> newbie1: how would i check it?
[00:31] <sam-_-> MM12, sry. for the hassle
[00:31] <newbie1> but it's strange it didnt stop before
[00:32] <sam-_-> MM12, and lsusb maybe
[00:32] <newbie1> with a different iso of the same thing?
[00:32] <MM12> sam-_- the first command says no device found.
[00:32] <WhatToDo> oh i guess so. is there a way to check it without comparing it to a similar .iso
[00:32] <sam-_-> MM12, might be a good sign
[00:32] <sam-_-> MM12, what does lsusb say?
[00:32] <newbie1> Mrokii: is the default audio card/service correct in Linux?
[00:33] <newbie1> the md5 check
[00:33] <WhatToDo> i tried to do it without a sim and it seems to be simming anyways.. >:(
[00:33] <MM12> sam-_- about the same, Bus 002 Device 013: ID 12d1:1401 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
[00:33] <Boursier> vocx, thanks, but I really don't have reachable friends now, can you help me?
[00:33] <newbie1> dont know how, maybe a sw
[00:33] <spaghettifier> hi, I am having a problem on my desktop. It doesn't log in. I used to have auto login enabled but now it just goes to the gdm screen. When I type my password, the screen turns black for a second then returns to the login window. When I go into tty1 and restart gdm, it then tells me Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode and I end up in an endless loop. Anyone know what could be wrong?
[00:33] <WhatToDo> do i need to download an md5 program or does ubuntu have one?
[00:33] <newbie1> zaery is not supported? what retrocomputing disk is that? :-)
[00:34] <pasteeater> WhatToDo: md5sum input.foo
[00:34] <pasteeater> in terminal
[00:34] <vocx> Boursier, it's not an emergency so why not read around on the internet. Search for "how to extract a .tar.gz"
[00:34] <will_> hey guys. i'm trying to play some full screen games using wine but the corner effects i've enabled in compiz (such as scale or expo when i move my mouse to the bottom right of the screen) are interfering with this. what's the best and/or easiest way to deal with this? just turn compiz off temporarily, or?
[00:34] <newbie1> you are asking too much things for my little knowledge :-)
[00:34] <sam-_-> MM12, and the  /dev/ttyUSB* are still there?
[00:34] <fructose> is there any way to disable the touchpad while there is an optical mouse plugged in?
[00:34] <WhatToDo> newbie1: haha its vastly past mie
[00:34] <WhatToDo> mine
[00:34] <zaery> newbie1: it's a seagate "repaired" one

[00:35] <EndymionMallorn> Hi.  Don't know if this is the right room, but it's got the largest number of people in it on the server.  I'm not looking to use Linux as an everyday OS (I prefer WinXP), but I'm looking for a liveCD that I can allow someone to use so that they can't damage my PC in any way.  I'm looking for something that can easily support a wide range of graphics and sound cards, USB, and has native support for .exe files and Windo
[00:35] <newbie1> figure out that i dont even have ubuntu, i am using mandriva
[00:35] <newbie1> and i am unhappy with it, so pls dont ban me
[00:35] <Boursier> vocx: I know how to extrac it, i just don't know how to install it .. what would you recommend? ..
[00:35] <Mrokii> newbie1: I am not sure. I didn't find any prefs for Hardware-selection. All I have is the Multimedia-prefs where I can chose OSS, ALSA, etc.
[00:35] <zaery> EndymionMallorn, for native .exe support, your only option is windows
[00:35] <vocx> will_, yes. Fancy effects and emulation of other operating systems are not good. Turn compiz off.
[00:35] <will_> vocx: thanks, okay :)
[00:36] <KM0201> newbie1: if you're using mandriva, why don't you seek out mandriva assistance?
[00:36] <EndymionMallorn> zaery: Problem is, they don't make liveCDs for windows - at least, not above 98SE.
[00:36] <newbie1> maybe is silly question, why did you got rid of OSS? never touch what is working
[00:36] <sam-_-> MM12, hmm. should just work now. i guess it's a network manager problem
[00:36] <WhatToDo> i think its my computer at this point, which is really aggravating because im trying to burn a windows iso to install it and it wont read my dvds
[00:36] <zaery> EndymionMallorn: then your request doesn't work. the best you can do is make another user for them in windows
[00:37] <newbie1> KM0201: oh i am doing...very much, but i have found many idiots who can only tell you read the damn manual
[00:37] <spaghettifier> can anyone help me?
[00:37] <MM12> sam-_- is there an alternative to network manager?
[00:37] <KM0201> newbie1: that still makes no sense why you're here... ubuntu and mandriva are totally different.
[00:37] <spaghettifier> MM12: wicd
[00:37] <WhatToDo> maybe k3b has to autosim to verify that the iso can be burned?
[00:37] <newbie1> i am only helping on general problems, with are not so dependent on the distribution
[00:38] <newbie1> i wont harm anyone for sure
[00:38] <doleyb> fructose: some laptops have an FN button combo to turn off touchpad..
[00:38] <Mrokii> newbie1: Because OSS *wasn't* working (completely). There was one game in Wine that didn't play sound (the others I have did). And I wanted to see if the problem would be solved by switching back to the standard soundsystem.
[00:38] <newbie1> i dont know - WhatToDo - maybe your file system is a little bad? try a fsck, dont ask me for the options btw
[00:38] <sam-_-> spaghettifier, i don't think wicd supports mobile broadband
[00:38] <WhatToDo> KM0201: regardless, he's been quite helpful to me so I'm alright with him here.
[00:39] <zaery> I'm getting a "bad magic number" in my super block when i try to fsck a drive..... :/
[00:39] <newbie1> thank you for nice words
[00:39] <KM0201> WhatToDo: still irrelevant to even bring up ubuntu... frankly i don't use ubuntu either... but you've never heard me use it.

[00:40] <KM0201> sorry, irrelevant to bring up mandriva
[00:40] <d3cented1> sam-_-:and i know it works
[00:40] <newbie1> so what's the point on that? do we need to settle on which distro can be better?
[00:40] <ducktype> i'm having no luck with a simple "upstart" job dependency, someone can help?
[00:40] <newbie1> at 1.40 am in the morning? come on

[00:41] <spaghettifier> I am having gdm issues, can someone help?
[00:41] <newbie1> so you want to get rid of me just because i dont run your nifty distro?
[00:41] <KM0201> newbie1: you obviously have a reading comprehension problem.
[00:41] <newbie1> i really dont see where is the point and i dont want either
[00:42] <newbie1> maybe my english can improve...but you are only messing stuff here
[00:42] <newbie1> just for fun i would say

[00:43] <smw> newbie1, I have not been following the conversation, but from what I can see of the backlog, you are going to get yourself banned soon.
[00:43] <sam-_-> d3cented1, you mean mobile broadband in wicd?
[00:43] <newbie1> because of a moron? i dont think so mate
[00:43] <smw> newbie1, this is a support channel and you are offtopic
[00:43] <WhatToDo> hey everyone you know what would be really cool?

[00:44] <EndymionMallorn> zaery: ... Fine.  So, basically, this "miracle OS" that I keep hearing about can't work with somewhere in the range of, oh, 95% of software created in the world?  And the only source it's got for both software and support is a few random places on the internet?  I'm just looking for something to allow three or four of my friends to use an OS that won't impact my HD.  I guess I'll just go buy a small HD and swap when I

[00:45] <newbie1> done
[00:46] <sam-_-> WhatToDo, who burns stuff these days? ok not helping, i know
[00:46] <WhatToDo> sam-_-: someone who needs a windows installer disk
[00:46] <sam-_-> WhatToDo, which version?
[00:46] <WhatToDo> ssam-_-: Vista
[00:46] <KM0201> sam-_-: there's still some old machines out there that don't boot usb.
[00:47] <sam-_-> WhatToDo, why not install it from a usb key?
[00:47] <sam-_-> WhatToDo, why not install it from a usb drive
[00:47] <sam-_-> KM0201, oh y. maybe that's it
[00:47] <newbie1> KM0201: obviously insulting in private confirms me you are a moron
[00:47] <WhatToDo> sam-_-: im nearly positive my computer isnt usb-bootable; it isnt a bios option
[00:48] <mneptok> newbie1: i said to drop the subject, and to stop the name-calling. why are you still discussing it?
[00:48] <zaery> EndymionMallorn, .exe's *might* work in wine(http://www.winehq.org/), and the sofrware you're looking for might have a linux version or an alternative, if you absolutely need your friends to run specific programs with no alternatives, that don't work in wine, then your only option is windows, and don't start insulting linux, because macs have the same problem with .exe's
[00:48] <sam-_-> WhatToDo, ok. didn't mean to start a long conversation :-)
[00:48] <spaghettifier> zaery: he left
[00:48] <WhatToDo> sam-_-: although my last computer had a bios option for booting from removable devices, and couldnt boot from them anyways, but i digress haha
[00:48] <zaery> oh, whoops

[00:49] <newbie1> lots of mod here
[00:49] <smw> newbie1, you pmed me and asked where you went wrong. Taking things personally is certainly one of them.

[00:50] <mneptok> thanks
[00:50] <newbie1> was only a question, or its illegal even that?
[00:50] <zaery> Anyways, anyone know what to do about a bad magic number in my super block?
[00:50] <sam-_-> spaghettifier, just ask
[00:50] <honeypot> how to run a command that doesn't exit on ssh logout please
[00:51] <jrib> honeypot: use screen or tmux
[00:51] <milamber> !details | spaghettifier
[00:51] <jrib> !screen | honeypot
[00:51] <vocx> spaghettifier, the proper way is not to ask if someone can help you, but to repeat your complete and detailed question every 5 minutes or so,
[00:51] <spaghettifier>  in. I used to have auto login enabled but now it just goes to the gdm screen. When I type my password, the screen turns black for a second then returns to the login window. When I go into tty1 and restart gdm, it then tells me Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode and I end up in an endless loop. Anyone know what could be wrong?
[00:51] <sam-_-> honeypot, hugh? what?
[00:51] <baddy> my empathy msnger cant open any new conversations anyone got some other replace for msn ?
[00:51] <MM12> sam-_- installed wicd, I noticed it only detects wlan0 and eth0.
[00:51] <sam-_-> baddy, amsn
[00:51] <spaghettifier> I am running 10.04 and tried switching from gdm to slim to see if that would fix it. It didn't.
[00:52] <sam-_-> MM12, y. i thought so.
[00:52] <zaery> fsck gave me a bad magic number in my superblock, and e2fsck -b 8193 did the same, is this drive recoverable?
[00:52] <vocx> spaghettifier, what did you install? Something messed up your gdm
[00:53] <vocx> zaery, you did run fsck as sudo?
[00:53] <zaery> yup
[00:53] <spaghettifier> vocx: I did not install anything since the last bootup. I am now going to undo the changes I made by installing slim and try to dpkg-reconfigure gnome.
[00:54] <vocx> zaery, I've never had a bad disk, but that sounds very suspicious.
[00:54] <baddy> i have empathy but it wont open conversations has it a bug or something?
[00:54] <vocx> spaghettifier, just magically your login screen became messed up. What about updates. I remember some updates in AppArmor recently.
[00:55] <sam-_-> MM12, hmm.  post cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep NetworkManager to pastebin.com maybe this will show sth. useful.
[00:56] <spaghettifier> vocx: I think I found the issue, I tried running dpkg-reconfigure on ubuntu-desktop and it claimed that it was not installed
[00:56] <vocx> baddy, I used to use pidgin when it was the default.
[00:56] <zaery> harumph, anyone know how to fix a bad magic number in my superblock?
[00:56] <sam-_-> spaghettifier, try logging in with another user
[00:56] <spaghettifier> vocx: so I installed it and will reboot now. I have no clue how it could have been uninstalled though...
[00:57] <vocx> spaghettifier, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, I don't think it would do much good.
[00:57] <spaghettifier> sam-_-: I created a user and tried.
[00:57] <aclonedsheep> hey, has anyone had HDMI sound issues w/ a Atom/NVIDIA ION NEttop?  I couldnt get mine to work w/ the nvidia drivers the ubuntu installed , i installed the latest nvidia drivers off their site and now xwindows is broken
[00:57] <ibankai7> hi,
[00:57] <sam-_-> spaghettifier, ah ok. then i don't know
[00:57] <spaghettifier> vocx: In slim, gnome/ubuntu-desktop or whatever it is was not a login option
[00:58] <MM12> sam-_- I will in a second, gotta be afk for few mins now
[00:58] <spaghettifier> vocx: rebooted and it worked, strange.
[00:58] <vocx> spaghettifier, congrats
[00:58] <spaghettifier> thanks
[00:58] <ibankai7> Hi, i've been having a problem with ubuntu, i just installed 10.10 for netbook and rebooted for updates but then its directing me to tty and then asking me to log in, after abit it shows me memmory corruption in low memory error :S can anybody please help me
[00:59] <zaery> ibankai17, do you have a live usb or live cd around?
[00:59] <Per5eL> hello why when i make full screen on any video on the net (lets take for example youtube) the screen is freezing and doesn't show the video in full screen?
[00:59] <vocx> ibankai7, may be your computer is not supported. Though luck. You could try searching for your exact model to see if anyone has already reported the issue.
[01:00] <ibankai7> i have burned the ubuntu 10.10 to a cd so i could install it
[01:00] <sam-_-> Per5eL, bc. flashplayer is the worst software ever made...
[01:01] <vocx> Per5eL, it's a problem with flash. Flash is not open source, so for some people it works and for others it doesn't. It's Adobe's fault perhaps.
[01:01] <ibankai7> any ideas?
[01:01] <Per5eL> vocx sam-_- so i cannot watch flash full screen?
[01:01] <ibankai7> Hi, i've been having a problem with ubuntu, i just installed 10.10 for netbook and rebooted for updates but then its directing me to tty and then asking me to log in, after abit it shows me memmory corruption in low memory error :S can anybody please help me
[01:01] <sam-_-> ibankai7, your ram could be faulty. have you checked with memtest?
[01:02] <vocx> Per5eL, perhaps not.
[01:02] <newbie1> Mrokii: sorry if i lost your topic about OSS, had some major issues here xd
[01:02] <newbie1> can you repost it?
[01:02] <sam-_-> Per5eL, maybe you need to install your graphics drivers properly
[01:02] <Per5eL> sam-_-: how? there listed 0 in the drivers list
[01:02] <ibankai7> sam -_- how do i run memtest
[01:03] <vocx> ibankai7, maybe your computer is not supported. There is not much to do in this case. Search on the Internet for your exact model to see if anyone has already the same issue.
[01:03] <newbie1> ibankai7: as someone told you before, you need to check the ram with the ubuntu live or installation cd
[01:03] <awesome_guest> hey.. a package is 2 years out of date (libfuse-dev).  How do I get them to update it?
[01:03] <sam-_-> ibankai7, should be an option on the install cd. will take about 2-3 hours
[01:04] <pcfreak30> Hello. I am trying to bridge my connection. I have a desktop which I am on now. its connected to a wireless wlan0  to a router. I have my xbox 360 connected wired to my pc.  I wantto be able to give me xbox internet through my pc. How can I do that.I have ip4 fowarding, and have tried many iptable commands via different guides.
[01:04] <sam-_-> Per5eL, lspci |grep -i vga  post the output
[01:04] <vocx> awesome_guest, how do you know it's out of date?
[01:04] <Per5eL> grep: post: No such file or directory grep: the: No such file or directory grep: output: No such file or directory
[01:05] <Per5eL> sam-_-: grep: post: No such file or directory grep: the: No such file or directory grep: output: No such file or directory
[01:05] <sam-_-> pcfreak30, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[01:05] <newbie1> Per5eL: which vga do you have?
[01:05] <sam-_-> Per5eL, "lspci |grep -i vga" this is the command
[01:05] <Per5eL> newbie1: x3100 if i;m not wrong i'm using vaio vgn 123e
[01:06] <newbie1> ok
[01:06] <sam-_-> Per5eL, so ati?
[01:06] <newbie1> have you tried different catalyst versions?
[01:06] <sam-_-> Per5eL, i'm assuming x1300?
[01:06] <Per5eL> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
[01:06] <newbie1> no sorry it's intel
[01:06] <KM0201> Per5eL: that device should work fairly well w/ Linux out of the box... i have it..
[01:07] <sam-_-> Per5eL, next command : "glxinfo | grep -i direct"
[01:07] <milamber> years ago i was able to install damn small linux on a pen drive and run it completely from the thumb drive (w/o having to boot from the thumb drive). is there a way to do this w/ ubuntu/wubi?
[01:07] <aclonedsheep> I screwed up my ubuntu 's xwindows trying to update my NVIDIA drivers in order to get HDMI sound working.  I figure i should just reinstall ubuntu rather than screw w/ xwindows config, but any idea how to resolve the HDMI sound issue ? Its Intel Atom/ ION nettop
[01:07] <GraphicH> Hey does anyone know how to change the Audio Output Device at the command line?
[01:07] <Per5eL> The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
[01:07] <sam-_-> KM0201, does flashplayer crash for you in fullscreen?
[01:07] <vocx> awesome_guest, Most packages are pulled from debian, so if you really can tell it's out of date, you should contact the debian maintainer of said package. It's possible a new package is already in unstable, and it's just waiting to be included in a stable repository.
[01:07] <sam-_-> Per5eL, one second
[01:07] <pcfreak30> sam-_-, yes i have tried that and my xbox fails. im using staic ips with it too.
[01:07] <KM0201> sam-_-: not that i've ever noticed
[01:07] <KM0201> sam-_-: i don't use flash full scree to often, but the few tiems i have, its fine
[01:08] <Per5eL> KM0201: everything works fine except full screen youtube
[01:08] <KM0201> Per5eL: weird
[01:08] <awesome_guest> vocx: what is the criterion for "stable"?
[01:08] <newbie1> GraphicH: why not from graphic interface?
[01:08] <sam-_-> pcfreak30, then i don't know
[01:08] <vocx> awesome_guest, dunno. Reasonable well-tested, also, sometimes old is a good definition.
[01:09] <newbie1> pcfreak30: can you ping the xbox or not?
[01:09] <Jordan_U> milamber: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/using-a-portable-virtualbox-to-run-linux-from-usb/
[01:09] <Per5eL> KM0201: when i make full screen in youtube the screen shows me a shot when i clicked full screen i hear audio but video is not moving
[01:09] <sam-_-> Per5eL, i would suggest to delete the flashplayer settings or/and install a new version of the flashplayer
[01:09] <newbie1> Per5eL: even in different browsers?
[01:09] <milamber> Jordan_U: thanks
[01:09] <Jordan_U> milamber: You're welcome.
[01:09] <KM0201> Per5eL: very strange, i'm watching a video in full screen right now (well, i just minimized it to talk to you)... and its working fine
[01:10] <Per5eL> newbie1: yes
[01:10] <pcfreak30> newbie1, if i could ping it that would mean it onnected. its not even getting an ip being static
[01:10] <vocx> Per5eL, I believe I've had that problem before too. I just ignore it. As I said, for some people flash works okay, for others not so okay.
[01:10] <pcfreak30> i have done all iptable cmds and such, enabled ip4 ipfoward among other things
[01:10] <Per5eL> sam-_-: how can i do that? threw ubuntu software center?
[01:10] <sam-_-> pcfreak30, cable plugged in? cable confirmed working?
[01:11] <newbie1> pcfreak30: so you cannot assign a static ip successfully? why?
[01:11] <pcfreak30> sam-_-, yes. its the cable ibvve used 4 a while. allmy cables work

[01:12] <lapion> hello, I am having problems with the switch of the iwl3945, under maverick meerkat the system doesn't register whenever I have it in the on position
[01:13] <sam-_-> MM12, are you running 10.10 maverick?
[01:13] <GraphicH> But yes, anyone know a way to switch audio output at the command line?
[01:13] <Musigreg> Got a question for you. I've been looking for hours! I'd like to know if it possible, with Nautilus, to get the windows static when i drag and drop a file between two windows... I don't know if it's understandable...
[01:13] <lapion> while if I boot in an older lubuntu the os does recognise the switch
[01:13] <newbie1> pcfreak30: ok, but the assignment of the Ip fails how?
[01:13] <zaery_> anyone know what to do if i try to fsck a drive, and it tells me that it's got a bad magic number for the superblock?
[01:13] <newbie1> lapion: is the wireless on/off?
[01:14] <newbie1> switch i mean
[01:14] <awesome_guest> oh, so it was uploaded to debian
[01:14] <awesome_guest> but import into ubuntu was stopped.. by policy
[01:14] <Musigreg> is there anyone to, at least, gimme a hint?
[01:14] <lapion> if ?I turn it on the system doesn't register, even if I boot with it in the on position the system doesn't turn on the wireless
[01:15] <newbie1> you have to give time to people thinking about it Musigr
[01:15] <newbie1> Musigreg:
[01:15] <lapion> however if I boot in an older version the switch works correctly\
[01:15] <GraphicH> Musigreg: your question doesnt make much sense sorry
[01:15] <MM12> sam-_- no, 10.04 LTS
[01:15] <zaery_> musigreg, place the windows to the side of eachother, rather than on top of one another?
[01:16] <lapion> newbie1 you still there ?
[01:16] <baddy> anyone knows why empathy contact list doesnt load???
[01:16] <newbie1> why?
[01:16] <GraphicH> well I answered my own question, for anyone interested: pacmd can be used to switch audio output devices at the command line
[01:16] <Musigreg> zaery_: yeah i know, but when i open a folder, i'd like to not have to move vlc (for example) aside to it everytime
[01:16] <pcfreak30> wow. newbie1 i feel stupid.it works. i just mis-typed the ipinfo in my xbox...
[01:16] <lapion> newbie1, if ?I turn it on the system doesn't register, even if I boot with it in the on position the system doesn't turn on the wireless
[01:16] <sam-_-> MM12, hmm. sry. i believe i can't help you. i don't know why network manager doesn't "see" your modem even though it clearly should
[01:17] <sam-_-> MM12, btw. are you in kuwait?
[01:17] <MM12> sam-_- yes
[01:17] <newbie1> pcfreak30: well..finally it worked :-)
[01:17] <baddy> anyone also got empathy problems?
[01:17] <newbie1> lapion i see, i am just thinking of how could be fixed that
[01:17] <lapion> newbie1, the switch is in the on position
[01:17] <newbie1> ok
[01:17] <sam-_-> MM12, how is the coverage there?
[01:17] <Musigreg> zaery_: GraphicH I gues i could have asked this way: is there a way to configure nautilus behaviour more than in "preferences"?
[01:18] <MM12> sam-_- depends on where you are, but mostly good.
[01:18] <sam-_-> MM12, with mobile broadband i mean
[01:18] <pcfreak30> newbie1, well rly reason is im on a openvpn service and i wanted my xbox in it. my router doesnt support it sadly. this is the only way
[01:18] <lapion> I have tried some older fix, however it doesn't work
[01:18] <zaery_> musigreg, not that i know of, sorry
[01:18] <newbie1> like what lapion?
[01:18] <sam-_-> MM12, interesting.
[01:18] <zaery_> Anyone know about bad magic numbers in my superblock?
[01:18] <sha1sum> I've had sound problems before a long time ago and was using "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" to test... is there a device that I can use like that nowadays?
[01:18] <Musigreg> zaery_: thought so... thanks anyway
[01:19] <newbie1> did you search for same problems on the web? could be a known bug
[01:19] <sam-_-> MM12, to be honest i don't know much about the country
[01:19] <MM12> sam-_- only one company [VIVA] gives decent mobile broadband but a bit expensive, other options are only good for Blackberry and light usage
[01:19] <lapion> like adding to the config file: alias wlan0 iwl3945 options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1
[01:19] <Lantchips> baddy try to uninstall telepathy-butterfly
[01:19] <MM12> sam-_- the one I am with can give pretty nice speeds for mobile broadband. 200kB++
[01:19] <baddy> how
[01:20] <lapion> newbie1, and removing the module and loading them again
[01:20] <baddy> sudo uninstall.. ?
[01:20] <newbie1> zaery it seems not (i didn't saw replies), try a search on the topic, should be an easy find
[01:20] <sam-_-> MM12, sounds pretty usable

[01:24] <crmangan> Anybody willing to walk me through some wine setup? I'm running 32bit Ubuntu, Wine 1.3, and have done all the config changes mentioned in the community page but still suffer from significantly lower framerates than my windows install
[01:24] <sam-_-> MM12, but i don't think it will help bc. i think your device already switched.
[01:25] <MM12> sam-_- but the device id here is 1401, not 1446
[01:25] <sam-_-> MM12, get some rest :-) some things look easier after a good night sleep :-)
[01:26] <lithionlx> Anyone help with Realtek ALC892 ?
[01:26] <sam-_-> MM12, if i understand it correctly it has two. 1446 before the switching for the mass storage and 1401 after for the modem
[01:26] <breadcrumb> crmangan hmmm.. have you tried disabling compiz (the desktop effects)? i know they can negatively effect 3D apps in wine
[01:27] <MM12> sam-_- in lsusb it shows 1401 even though it is treated as storage, maybe it is the other way around?

[01:37] <Raydiation> sam-_-: it does not crash, it simply doesnt work
[01:38] <sam-_-> felon, i suggest unrar-nonfree. i always had problems with the free version
[01:38] <zaery_> anyone know what to do if i try to fsck a drive, and it tells me that it's got a bad magic number for the superblock?
[01:38] <jimcooncat> sailinginrio, I don't see how to unmute it -- I normally have this desktop muted, but want to listen to music tonight. But I lost my little speaker on the panel (volume control), and I can't unmute it. Terrible for me, huh?
[01:38] <nit-wit> ShootEmUp, do you have a question, if spit it out.:)
[01:38] <nit-wit> *so
[01:38] <felon> its just a album

[01:38] <felon> k thx
[01:38] <ShootEmUp> nope, just saying hi nit-wit
[01:38] <vocx> jimcooncat, why do you say you can't use alsamixer
[01:39] <newbie1> lithionlx: i found an open bug for ubuntu
[01:39] <nit-wit> ShootEmUp, alrighty then, just making sure you get a notice, an answer you know support.:0
[01:39] <newbie1> try this: I toggled the pulse output from HDMI to internal audio back and forth a couple of time and it suddenly started to work again. I have no idea why, but it works for me now
[01:39] <lithionlx> aye i have seen it
[01:39] <lithionlx> i could see a resolution
[01:39] <shcherbak> jimcooncat: check amixer, try to gnome-panel --replace and sound in menu
[01:40] <markturnip> What's the best way to connect to a WPA2 secured network with Ubuntu Server?
[01:40] <jimcooncat> vocx, well for one thing I hit F1 help, and darn gnome pops up its help
[01:40] <nit-wit> can I cry here they called me a troll at ##windows because they had never heard of lilo. lol
[01:40] <WhatToDo> hi so my computer decided to not boot for some reason and i got a bunch of code it looked kind of like a dos for ubuntu so i tried to boot it with a livecd but its been on the splash screen (the one that says ubuntu with the colored dots) for about 10 minutes and isnt going anywhere. what should i do?
[01:40] <newbie1> lithionlx: you tried that "solution" i reported?
[01:40] <sam-_-> markturnip, easiest way is network manager
[01:41] <shcherbak> markturnip: wpa-supplicant, wicd-text - none tried with success
[01:41] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, anything done before ahnd to cause this that you can think of
[01:41] <newbie1> WhatToDo: even starting with safe mode options?
[01:41] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: nope, i noticed none of my programs would start so i shut down ubuntu and on start up i got some weird screen
[01:41] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, is it a wubi install?
[01:41] <zaery_> anyone know what to do if i try to fsck a drive, and it tells me that it's got a bad magic number for the superblock?
[01:42] <lithionlx> which solution newbie1? i have seen and tried 2 so far
[01:42] <sam-_-> markturnip, or try wicd-curses
[01:42] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: im not sure what that is
[01:42] <LoganJRuff> nit-wit, They're in ##windows. What do they know? =P
[01:42] <sailinginrio> did you fix your sound jimcooncat? i am going to try installing the 32bit version instead see if that helps otherwise i dunno ...
[01:42] <newbie1> i guess your dvd drive isn't working well, recalling your previous issues with burning
[01:42] <jimcooncat> shcherbak, I located the amixer files, and I see gnome-panel but I don't know what to do next
[01:42] <newbie1> lithionlx: I toggled the pulse output from HDMI to internal audio back and forth a couple of time and it suddenly started to work again. I have no idea why, but it works for me now
[01:42] <WhatToDo> when i try to boot from the hdd, i get a screen that at the bottom says (initramfs) with a flashing cursor
[01:42] <newbie1> that
[01:42] <nit-wit> LoganJRuff, not much in spite of claiming open source status.
[01:42] <vocx> jimcooncat, that is because gnome-terminal uses the standard gnome bindings. But other than F1, what else doesn't work? You can use a pure terminal emulator like xterm. That is, inside gnome-terminal run "xterm", and then within it alsamizer.
[01:42] <jimcooncat> sailinginrio, sorry, but I'll keep trying, have a nice night
[01:43] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, did you install Ubuntu from a live windows enviroment
[01:43] <KM0201> jimcooncat: what sound device are you two having problems w/ ?
[01:43] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: nope, clean install from a cd
[01:43] <shcherbak> jimcooncat: open: Menu > Preferences > Sound
[01:43] <LoganJRuff> nit-wit, Not to derail the topic, but... they're Windows... Lol - I love that "Microsoft is now Open-Source!" b.s. they're trying to bring.
[01:43] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: everything was working fine and i went for a restart and this si what i get

[01:43] <lithionlx> newbi1 how to i do that? for Pulse ?
[01:44] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, boot the cd again and hit the shift key on power the computer on to get the eraly try meneu and see if that gets you to a live session to run a script
[01:44] <atxq> hey, I am looking for a real-time equilizer for alsa. anyone have a suggestion?
[01:44] <arkanabar> I need a CLI tool to fix my audio capture configuration, what should I use?
[01:44] <WhatToDo> other seemingly useful phrases on this screen include: "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg" "BusyBox v1.15.3"
[01:44] <volty> cannot find nor ffmpeg nor mencoder, how can i fix this (10.10)

[01:44] <markturnip> Well is it possible to run network-manager /network-manger-gnome in a x window?
[01:44] <vocx> tulek, are you updating? You can remove the older ones, once you have a newer kernel.
[01:44] <jimcooncat> shcherbak, thank You! that worked.
[01:45] <LoganJRuff> shcherbak, http://www.microsoft.com/opensource/

[02:01] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, hard to say really what is going on but the script will show any boot anaomalies amongst other things
[02:01] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: time to wait it out i suppose
[02:02] <nomadd> KM0201, installing now
[02:02] <aclonedsheep> vocx, home theatre PC -- use it to play media
[02:02] <KM0201> nomadd: that should get you working
[02:02] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, the script should run in less then 5 seconds
[02:02] <skullboy> shcherbak: compiz sees them but the plugs do not functon when enabled except the ones that come with compiz and extras
[02:02] <nomadd> KM0201, wonder why it stopped at all?
[02:02] <vocx> aclonedsheep, ah... I hate too many acronyms
[02:02] <shcherbak> skullboy: I guess search in forums will be needed, or maybe there is dependency/conflict between plugins.
[02:02] <KM0201> nomadd: well, if thats not installed, it got uninstalled for some reason(which would uninstall the driver)
[02:02] <aclonedsheep> vocx, I know what you mean
[02:02] <KM0201> nomadd: did you remove it for some reason?
[02:02] <nomadd> KM0201, THanks!
[02:03] <nomadd> KM0201, nope, maybe uninentionally while apt-get autoremove or something
[02:03] <KM0201> nomadd: probably..
[02:03] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: i had three lines "Identifying MBRs...", "Computing Partition Table of /dev/sda...", and "Searching sdal for information...". Right now, the cursor is flashing at the beginning of the line, and it doesnt say ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ as it usually does
[02:04] <lithionlx> newbie1:   Your ALSA information is located at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9d0870287c7d2ab1bac44f0450345fdaed29ac44
[02:04] <nomadd> KM0201, I'll just have to pay attention to it more ofthen, thank you
[02:04] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: so apparently the process is still running
[02:04] <sha1sum> lithionlx: what do you know about alsa?
[02:04] <sha1sum> :D
[02:04] <KM0201> nomadd: it happens... just pay attention when you're installing/removing software, that that doesn't get removed
[02:04] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, where is the script downloaded to
[02:04] <lithionlx> nothing why do you think im asking you and everyone else
[02:04] <sha1sum> haha
[02:04] <sha1sum> goodnight
[02:05] <lithionlx> night bro
[02:05] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: /Downloads
[02:05] <lithionlx> your craps by my door
[02:05] <sha1sum> bring it.
[02:05] <lithionlx> rgr that
[02:05] <newbie1> lithionlx: are you trying to use that script?
[02:06] <lithionlx> im jsut trying to show you my config
[02:06] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, did you copy and paste the command or type it so it was pointed at tyhe download, and did you cpatilize the Download
[02:06] <newbie1> a reconfig of the audiocard even switching to OSS in the mid of the process and back to Alsa might work
[02:06] <fixer> HALP
[02:06] <newbie1> it's so product specific i cannot do much of it
[02:06] <fixer> I installed Ubuntu server 9.10 on my desktop and startx wont run
[02:07] <WhatToDo> nit-wit:  i typed it out as "sudo bash ~/Downloads/boot_info_script*.sh"
[02:07] <xcerca> whats up all
[02:07] <fixer> im trapped in cmd
[02:07] <fixer> need gui
[02:07] <fixer> startx wont load man,
[02:07] <KM0201> fixer: did you install a GUI?
[02:07] <fixer> yes
[02:07] <fixer> apt-get install initx
[02:07] <shcherbak> fixer: Do you have Xserver installed, xinit
[02:07] <fixer> xinit yes
[02:08] <fixer> I didnt install anything else tho
[02:08] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, strange that it is not running, can you open gparted and look to see if it is reading the hard drive and if any flags are on any partitions.
[02:08] <fixer> x tries to start and flakes out
[02:08] <KM0201> fixer: i think you need more than just xinit... you probably need gnome, kde, xfce or lxde, or whatever as well
[02:08] <xcerca> is there a program for modifying the grub2  os boot menu ?
[02:08] <newbie1> what error fixer
[02:08] <fixer> apt-get install kde results in no package
[02:08] <KM0201> xcerca: modifying in what way?
[02:08] <shcherbak> fixer: what does xinit -- :1 vt8 ?
[02:08] <fixer> man something about not being able to connect to some shit
[02:09] <KM0201> !grub2 | xcerca there's a lot of stuff here about customizing grub2
[02:09] <fixer> I dont recall the exact error
[02:09] <WhatToDo> nit-wit:  it has 3 partitions...im not sure why...but the main one is /dev/sda1 with the flag boot
[02:09] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, post a screen shot of gparted as well
[02:09] <shcherbak> fixer: in Ubuntu Server you need to add repos for Kde
[02:09] <fixer> do tell
[02:09] <newbie1> are you writing from another system?
[02:09] <xcerca> KM0201 , like, to have it search for every os i have on my hdd's and add them to my grun menu ?
[02:09] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[02:09] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: how do i screencap in ubuntu?
[02:09] <eichi1> on ubuntu livecd "sudo vgscan" should give some output? shouldn't it? maybe the lvm is demaged?!
[02:09] <fixer> man I have no gui, i cannot copy pasta
[02:09] <KM0201> xcerca: open a termina and type "sudo update-grub2"
[02:10] <xcerca> thanks
[02:10] <KM0201> fixer: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[02:10] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, prtsc key works
[02:10] <fixer> lol
[02:11] <KM0201> !pastebinit | fixer
[02:11] <awesome_guest> fixer: ubuntu server doesn't come with a desktop by default
[02:11] <newbie1> fixer we need the error message though
[02:11] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: grr i tried to do something on my own, and it got my screwed up. give me a couple minutes i need to restart
[02:11] <KM0201> awesome_guest: i thik he knows htat... he said he installed a GUI... but didn't mention which one
[02:11] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, k
[02:12] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: before i retsart, illl try to install again just in case it works miraculously
[02:12] <shcherbak> KM0201: i do not think he has complete x tho.
[02:12] <KM0201> shcherbak: thats very possible, i've not totally listened to his problem,
[02:13] <leomast247> anyone know why my audio stops after a while. LIke if i dont use the computer for a while and go back on i have no audio so i have to restart the computer
[02:14] <newbie1> the pc goes standby?
[02:14] <leomast247> sometimes
[02:14] <leomast247> or if its just sitting there ..its rlly weird
[02:14] <newbie1> really
[02:14] <newbie1> always done that since first install?
[02:14] <leomast247> ya it works if i restart
[02:15] <leomast247> hmm well it worked fine when i had windows but now i have ubuntu and it does that sometimes
[02:15] <newbie1> windows is way different, so doesnt count
[02:16] <newbie1> which card do you have?
[02:16] <leomast247> well its not my computer which is what i mean when i say that
[02:16] <leomast247> audio card?
[02:16] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, I think you have some hardware problems or a HD that is old, how old is the HD?
[02:17] <shcherbak> leomast247: Change power settings, and check dmesg
[02:17] <leomast247> yes the HD is quite old
[02:17] <leomast247> wats dmesg
[02:17] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: a couple of years i think..nothing rediculous
[02:17] <newbie1> the system message log
[02:17] <shcherbak> leomast247: one of system logs
[02:17] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, alright
[02:18] <leomast247> im kinda new so what kind of power setting should i use and how do i get to the dmesg
[02:19] <shcherbak> leomast247: dmesg is command, all logs are placed in /var/log use tail or less.
[02:20] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: so i tried to boot from thd hd for kicks and all i get is a flashing cursor with no text and its not booting anything...
[02:20] <shcherbak> leomast247: Power setting -- make sure your pc do not suspend or hibernate
[02:20] <j_ayen_green> running 10.4 in vbox. I have a problem in my fstab file...how do I 'get around' it so I can get in and edit the file?
[02:20] <leomast247> ok i typed in dmesg
[02:21] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: i think i screwed with the partitions and erased the boot files or moved them or idk what
[02:21] <tim> When I try to install new software I get "waiting for apt-get to exit" and nothing happens.  Suggestions?
[02:22] <vocx> j_ayen_green, you don't get around it, you obtain root privileges and then edit it, like "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[02:22] <leomast247> now what when i typed in dmesg
[02:22] <WhatToDo> but i want to format and do a clean install and i cant because it freezes on the first page of installation when i click next after selecting to update while installing
[02:22] <j_ayen_green> vocx: editing it would presume that ubuntu boots to the point of logging in
[02:23] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, so it sounds like something happened how do you think I can help?
[02:23] <vocx> j_ayen_green, you did not mention that, did you?
[02:23] <j_ayen_green> well, I asked how to get around it so I -can- get it an edit it
[02:23] <WhatToDo> nit-wit:  well mainly im not sure lol at this point i want top reinstall but it freezes and its not the disk i dont think
[02:24] <j_ayen_green> maybe I should have worded it as 'get beyond it'
[02:24] <abcd99> hey, ubuntu keeps closing my fullscreen mode - when im watching some flash movie on youtube etc. howto stop that? im using minefield, and some flash player (i think its adobes 64bit linux) - its because of that? or?
[02:24] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, you could use the alternative disc, but your the one there. How exsperienced are you at this?
[02:24] <shcherbak> leomast247: check in output for any issues, errors. In menu is log viewer too, so you can more info. Does sound works now?
[02:25] <vocx> j_ayen_green, maybe you should mention that ubuntu does not boot?
[02:25] <j_ayen_green> ok
[02:25] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: relatively, in that ive installed a few times
[02:25] <j_ayen_green> ubuntu 10.4 does not finish the boot process because i have a problem in my fstab file... it stops along the way.. it's running in vbox... how can I get through to logging in so I can edit the fstab file
[02:26] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, if the install is not working you might try rebooting and running a memerory check at that first window.
[02:26] <WhatToDo> nit-wit:  i just googled my issue and it seems relatively common for a freeze at this screen
[02:27] <tony__> is this the right place ask a conky script question?
[02:27] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, never have freezes in mine not sure what your doing or where from.
[02:27] <milamber> Jordan_U: not sure if you googled it or have experience w/ it, but that liveusb link you gave me worked like a champ. thnx. (only problem was booting up an old winbox)
[02:27] <j_ayen_green> is there, for example, a function key I can press to get a 'safe boot'  that ignores mount requests?
[02:28] <Jordan_U> milamber: You're welcome.
[02:28] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: im trying to install 10.10 and its the first screen after you click install that says Preparing to install Ubuntu and you choose whether to install updates while installing. I click forward and the cursor goes in circles and doesnt advance
[02:28] <j4son> beer:30
[02:29] <nit-wit> What for how long
[02:29] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, for how long
[02:29] <vocx> j_ayen_green, the way you can do it, is mounting a Ubuntu CD, and using it as a live CD in the booting process.
[02:29] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: forever, it wont advance sao i cant install
[02:29] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, you said 10 min before s this accurate
[02:29] <nit-wit> *is
[02:30] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, have hyou used this cd to install with before?
[02:30] <nit-wit> *you
[02:30] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: yes i left it for 10 minutes and it didnt move and i turned the computer off because the first time i installed from this disk it didnt hang at all
[02:30] <sailinginrio> howdy i am trying to install u-10.10 but my screen goes black everytime and the cd keeps churning...thanks to newbie1 i went to f1 and found out there is a special parameter for this type of problems "vga=771" where do i input this info in order for the cd to make the adjustments? thank you.
[02:30] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: yeah
[02:31] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, so is the actual install fryed, can you remove it?
[02:31] <KM0201> sailinginrio: does it have an ATI graphics device?
[02:31] <SirFunk> hey, for some reason Ctrl+Shift+V stops working in my gnome-terminal. I can re-set it, but after a few minutes it stops working again.. any idea why?
[02:31] <j_ayen_green> vocx: how does that work? I mean, I understand how the cd as a boot device works, but I'm thinking unless I get the vbox vm to the point of being booted, there's no file 'there' to edit
[02:31] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: remove whay?
[02:31] <WhatToDo> what?*
[02:31] <sailinginrio> ? I do not know KM0201
[02:31] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, you had a Ubuntu install that stopped booting correct?
[02:31] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: right
[02:31] <sailinginrio> it is a pretty new notebook vaio
[02:32] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, I am wondering if it has made a problem with writing a new install to the HD.
[02:32] <kisuke> ok quick question: "es2fsck: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/sda1" is that recoverable or just nuke and reload OS?
[02:32] <tony__> the line in question works fine when not used in a conky script
[02:33] <KM0201> sailinginrio: can i send you a PM?
[02:33] <sailinginrio> certainly
[02:34] <vocx> j_ayen_green, the VM does not boot at all? I supposed it booted fine, but the virtual Ubuntu failed to start. If you can boot the virtual live CD, you should be able to mount the virtual hard drive, and edit the virtual fstab
[02:34] <Maxeetoh> anyone can tell me a channel for linux spanish? :)
[02:34] <shcherbak> !sp
[02:34] <shcherbak> !es
[02:34] <Maxeetoh> thank you
[02:34] <KM0201> sailinginrio: you should have received it
[02:34] <j_ayen_green> vocx: it does start...the ubuntu progress dots are going, but if I up arrow, it tells me that the mount failed, and seems to have stopped at the point of loading a bunch of modem handlers...no idea why
[02:35] <sailinginrio> where do i receive it?
[02:35] <KM0201> sailinginrio: lol.. just type this w/o quotes... "/join #km0201"
[02:35] <Maxeetoh> !sp
[02:36] <Maxeetoh> !wifi
[02:36] <Maxeetoh> xD

[02:36] <Maxeetoh> np :) im in
[02:36] <christopher> !fixmybugs
[02:36] <Maxeetoh> haha
[02:36] <Maxeetoh> i have a question
[02:36] <vocx> j_ayen_green, so the VM boots fine, use the live cd to start.
[02:36] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, whats happening?
[02:38] <Maxeetoh> can i use my wifi modem for scan wireless? or i need a card ?
[02:38] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: uhhhh i put back in the 10
[02:38] <WhatToDo> 10.04 disk i just burned and im going to wait as long as it takes for it to boot
[02:38] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, you got the installer working?
[02:38] <j_ayen_green> vocx: ok... newbie questions... is the live CD same as the ubuntu install CD?
[02:38] <nit-wit> WhatToDo,  see the Lucid disc
[02:38] <nit-wit> *I
[02:38] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: nope...still on splash screen...different disk
[02:39] <Maxeetoh> nitt
[02:39] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, okay time for a cig break brb
[02:39] <vocx> j_ayen_green, yes. In this case, you don't need a physical CD, but the .iso image is enough. Are you using Virtualbox?
[02:39] <Maxeetoh> nit-wit, can i use my wifi modem to scan wireless or i need a card?
[02:40] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: iwlist wlan0 scanning
[02:40] <Maxeetoh> again? xD
[02:40] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: dinner for me brb
[02:40] <j_ayen_green> vocx: yes
[02:40] <nit-wit> Maxeetoh, looks like shcherbak is helping you.
[02:41] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: What is wifi modem? iwlist is tool for wifi
[02:41] <Maxeetoh> oohh i see
[02:41] <Maxeetoh> mm
[02:41] <Maxeetoh> a wifi router
[02:41] <Maxeetoh> i have that
[02:41] <Maxeetoh> but i dont have a card
[02:41] <Maxeetoh> im in a desktop
[02:41] <FloodBot1> Maxeetoh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:42] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: What hardware are you talk about?
[02:42] <vocx> j_ayen_green, or I don't know how it's called today, xVM or something. It's from Sun Oracle now. I used it when it was 1.5, now I believe is past 4.0
[02:43] <Maxeetoh> mm sorry if u dont understand me, my english is too bad hehe. My question is i need scan Wireless networks, i need a Wifi Card for my Desktop or i can use a Wifi router(modem)
[02:43] <j_ayen_green> vocx: I have a backup of the virtual hard disk file...perhaps I can get vbox to load it as the primary
[02:43] <vocx> Maxeetoh, you need a wireless card in your desktop, for example one that fits in a PCI slot.
[02:43] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: Tell me what type of router is it, brand ,model
[02:43] <Maxeetoh> mm let me see
[02:44] <KM0201> Maxeetoh: you need both.. a wireless card to scan networks, and a wifi modem(or router) if you want your own wireless network
[02:44] <Maxeetoh> KM0201 i dont want a wifi network, i want search wifi networks around my house
[02:44] <KM0201> Maxeetoh: then you need a wifi card
[02:44] <Maxeetoh> sh1t xD
[02:45] <Maxeetoh> thanks scherbak and Km0201 :)
[02:45] <m1chael> im having problems with apache.. i installed like this: sudo apt-get install apache2.2 # apachectl restart throws the error: /usr/sbin/apachectl: 148: /usr/sbin/apache2: not found ..... any ideas??
[02:45] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: wrt-dd and tomato against your router name in google
[02:46] <milamber> m1chael: what version of ubuntu?
[02:49] <Maxeetoh> shcherbak im reading that site
[02:49] <sailinginrio> hi KM0201
[02:49] <KM0201> ?
[02:49] <KM0201> did you get any errors?
[02:50] <sailinginrio> same black screen altogether no response
[02:50] <Maxeetoh> shcherbak u know a specific channel about wireless ? i do not want to make you lose time :P
[02:50] <KM0201> sailinginrio: i would try reburning the ISO, SLOWLY.... did you download the 32 or 64bit ISO?
[02:50] <sailinginrio> 64
[02:50] <KM0201> sailinginrio: how much ram does your machine have?
[02:51] <sailinginrio> 5gigs
[02:51] <sailinginrio> it says it is a 64bit
[02:51] <KM0201> sailinginrio: i would try the 32bit version...
[02:51] <KM0201> sailinginrio: well i don't doubt the cpu is 64bit.
[02:51] <sailinginrio> ok will do so and let you know. 15-20 minutes
[02:51] <KM0201> or try burning the 64bit ISO again, slowly.
[02:51] <sailinginrio> how do i burn it slowly?
[02:52] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: not really, and think you intend to do is quite risky. make sure to double check how tos.
[02:52] <Gnea> you set the burning speed to a slow speed, like 8x or 4x
[02:52] <KM0201> sailinginrio: depending on the app you use to burn ISO's, there should be a place to set the speed
[02:52] <m1chael> 10.0.4 i think
[02:52] <sailinginrio> i am using infrarecordder and it said it was doing 2x
[02:52] <sailinginrio> ....
[02:52] <j_ayen_green> vocx: it occurred to me after you suggested that, that the changes I made will not be in the hard disk file, but in state. So I'm going to clone the hard disk file so that I can boot from it without state, and mount the original as an additional disk
[02:52] <sailinginrio> but i will try again
[02:52] <KM0201> sailinginrio: well, can't get any slower than that
[02:52] <Danny78> Is there a separate channel for setting up Ubuntu as a samba server or can I get some basic help here?
[02:52] <sailinginrio> ....yeah
[02:53] <sailinginrio> will be off for 20 minute will be back!
[02:53] <sailinginrio> thank you
[02:53] <Gnea> !samba | Danny78
[02:53] <KM0201> Danny78: there's an awesome samba walkthrough on Ubuntuforums...
[02:53] <Gnea> Danny78: if it has to do with the ubuntu-side of things, we can help, otherwise #samba is a great resource for samba-specific things
[02:54] <vocx> j_ayen_green, sure, I haven't messed with VMs in a while, but sure, since it's virtual, not real, it may be easy to go back.
[02:54] <Maxeetoh> shcherbak i only want to check if i can see networks around my house with wifi router
[02:54] <mawst> Anyone happen to know the package name of the tcl src in the repos?
[02:55] <KM0201> Danny78: i used this back w/ 9.10, and its more or less the same....  http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605

[02:55] <theholder> Hi i am having issues with my sound on my Ubuntu install
[02:55] <Danny78> awesome thanks!  I will probably be back.
[02:55] <theholder> theres a constant hissing sound
[02:56] <KM0201> Danny78: i think the only thing that has changed since that was written, is the start/stop command for samba
[02:56] <mawst> mute the cdrom and see if that helps, theholder.
[02:56] <theholder> its a netbook hasnt got one
[02:56] <mawst> play with other inputs?
[02:56] <Danny78> KM0201:  like, service start
[02:57] <vocx> mawst, you mean you want to link againts tcl.h tk.h, and libtcl8.5.so etc.
[02:57] <theholder> nope
[02:57] <KM0201> Danny78: yup>.. :)
[02:57] <theholder> i only have my headphones
[02:57] <theholder> and my mic is hissing also =/

[02:57] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: some router have abilities to do so, but it require to flash it, upload specific software, and manualy configure it. With out _clear_ confirmation that your type of router is capable of it, you should not even start (for sure you will lose dsl capabilities in tweake router).
[02:57] <theholder> yes Gnea
[02:58] <Gnea> theholder: mute the mic, what happens?
[02:58] <Maxeetoh> ohhh u right scherbak is too risk :(
[02:58] <Danny78> This stuff is brand new to me, such is life at the moment
[02:58] <theholder> still hissing
[02:58] <Gnea> theholder: okay, just mute the master
[02:58] <Maxeetoh> my router is a cisco 2320
[02:58] <Maxeetoh> scherbak my router is a cisco 2320
[02:58] <theholder> master?
[02:59] <theholder> output volume?
[02:59] <Gnea> theholder: yeah, aren't you using alsamixer?
[02:59] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: one moment
[02:59] <ryanthelion> Umm, hi, can I ask questions here? Or do I wait for a signal? ;)
[02:59] <izinucs> Maxeetoh: look on the dd-wrt website for compatiblity with that firmware set
[02:59] <theholder> alsa plugin
[02:59] <theholder> or something
[02:59] <vocx> !ask | ryanthelion
[03:00] <theholder> Gnea if i mute the master the hissing stops
[03:00] <izinucs> ryanthelion: consider ^--^ above the signal to ask :)
[03:00] <Maxeetoh> shcherbak okss im on it, thanks for your time
[03:00] <Gnea> theholder: okay, un-mute master and mute/unmute each other thing until the hissing stops
[03:00] <theholder> i am using the
[03:01] <theholder> gnome-sound
[03:01] <Gnea> as long as it shows every sound channel selector, it's fine
[03:01] <theholder> no it doesnt
[03:02] <theholder> Gnea pm?
[03:02] <Gnea> then just open a terminal and type alsamixer
[03:02] <Gnea> theholder: preferably not, others can benefit
[03:02] <xTheGoat121x> Evening everyone. When my netbook's battery is finished charging, libnotify sends a message that then gets stuck on screen, and I have no idea how to clear it
[03:02] <Maxeetoh> shcherbak nothing for cisco 2320 in ddwt,  im going to try in google
[03:02] <ryanthelion> I'm having hard to diagnose network problems that is making my outbound connections to _some_ websites not work in my Rails app. But it seems to be an Ubuntu problem, because, "wget google.com" works fine, but "wget geekcal.com" gets stuck on "HTTP request sent, awaiting response..." So - how do I diagnose wget as a first step?
[03:02] <al_nz1> can you reset the ssh client service config on ubuntu?
[03:02] <theholder> ok
[03:03] <theholder> well where do i find the alsa manger
[03:03] <Idol_Mind> so I installed 10.10 x64 on my SSD... how do I import all my settings, documents, and stuff from my other HDD (encrypted home)
[03:03] <Danny78> I'm getting a fail on install dnsproxy...  is this necessary for Samba?
[03:03] <Gnea> theholder: as I said, open a terminal, then type alsamixer
[03:03] <WhatToDo> hey im back
[03:04] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: so i left my 10.04 disk in while i ate dinner for like 15 minutes and its still at the splash screen
[03:04] <theholder> k done
[03:04] <izinucs> Idol_Mind: why not rename your current home to the old one
[03:04] <Idol_Mind> izinucs, um... what?
[03:05] <Gnea> theholder: now try to mute/unmute things until the hissing stops on one of them besides master
[03:05] <Idol_Mind> izinucs, my other home folder is on another drive which I need to format eventually
[03:05] <theholder> sorry for sounding dumb
[03:05] <izinucs> Idol_Mind: your /home can live anywhere on any drive.. it's controlled by /etc/fstab
[03:05] <theholder> what is the command to mute?
[03:05] <vocx> Idol_Mind, how did you encrypt the directory? Is it not accessible simply by mounting?
[03:05] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, have you tried running the memory check at the try scree?
[03:06] <nit-wit> *screen
[03:06] <Idol_Mind> vocx, I encrypted it when I installed 10.10 on the other drive (couple months ago)
[03:06] <WhatToDo> not yet, ill do that next
[03:06] <Idol_Mind> izinucs, mkay... so how do I copy my encrypted home to the new drive given I can't mount it or see it?
[03:06] <Danny78> package install error:  http://pastebin.com/DwiCGCSi
[03:07] <skullboy> how do i install newton physics plug for compiz
[03:07] <jusexcon> google it
[03:07] <izinucs> Idol_Mind: vocx might have the answer.. I haven't played much with encryption.. but you'll have to mount it and unencrypt it.. then copy the contents to the new /home
[03:07] <skullboy> how do i install newton physics plug for compiz
[03:07] <jusexcon> google it
[03:07] <vocx> izinucs, I've never used encryption lol!
[03:07] <Idol_Mind> izinucs, yeah I can't find a good guide online...
[03:08] <izinucs> vocx: :).. sounded like you might have had some answers
[03:08] <theholder> Gnea?
[03:08] <skullboy> jusexcon: ok
[03:08] <vocx> !encrypt | Idol_Mind have you tried this
[03:08] <Gnea> theholder: think about it - up arrow increases volume, down arrow decreases volume, left and right select something different. what key would you think would [m]ute something?
[03:08] <theholder> oh
[03:08] <theholder> durk
[03:08] <theholder> lol
[03:08] <izinucs> Idol_Mind: mounting is not that tough.. open nautilus and see if there is an icon available for that drive and double click it.. it may/maynot ask for a password or key
[03:08] <theholder> sorry
[03:08] <FloodBot1> theholder: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:08] <vocx> izinucs, I always ask for more information. I also learn new things-
[03:09] <izinucs> vocx: as we all do :)
[03:09] <jusexcon> Lol, theholder just got warned
[03:09] <Danny78> KM0201:  I'm strikin' out at step 1--  samba install dnsproxy fails
[03:09] <Gnea> theholder: it's okay, it's better to learn by doing than to have someone just tell you sometimes anyway
[03:09] <KM0201> Danny78: i don't kno anything about that.
[03:09] <Gnea> jusexcon: what's so funny about that?
[03:09] <KM0201> Danny78: i just use samba for simple file sharing
[03:09] <theholder> well when i mute master or headphone the hissing disapaers
[03:09] <theholder> when i unmute them it comes back
[03:09] <Danny78> KM0201:  figured it was worth asking, thanks
[03:09] <vocx> Idol_Mind, but have you tried it already, just plugging in the drive?
[03:10] <Gnea> theholder: I see... so other than master, the hissing only occurs with the headphones?
[03:10] <izinucs> Idol_Mind: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto
[03:10] <Idol_Mind> vocx, the drive is plugged in... it shows all the folders, but home is blank
[03:10] <Danny78> anyone know anything about "symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/dnsproxy: undefined symbol:"
[03:10] <jusexcon> It could be a headphone problem?
[03:10] <theholder> nope its hissing from the speakers also
[03:10] <jusexcon> Oh.
[03:10] <Gnea> theholder: what levels of volume are they set to?
[03:11] <theholder> alow
[03:11] <theholder> low
[03:11] <theholder> down all the way
[03:11] <Danny78> or what channel I should go to for package installation errors?
[03:11] <Gnea> theholder: what number, exactly?
[03:11] <theholder> 0
[03:11] <jusexcon> It could be your sound card?
[03:11] <Gnea> theholder: bring master up to 60 or so, headphones up to 40
[03:11] <ryanthelion> WGET is freezing on "HTTP request sent, awaiting response..." on 9 out of ten websites. Google.com/Ubuntu.com work fine. Yahoo and several other sites don't. And it's consistent to which sites do and don't work, so I can't figure this out.
[03:12] <jusexcon> ryan : Could be your internet connection maybe
[03:12] <theholder> done
[03:12] <jusexcon> ryan : Have you tried it on other operating systems, other computers?
[03:12] <Danny78> ryanthelion:  what's the network hardware setup?
[03:12] <ryanthelion> Yeah, my desktop works just fine. Same network and everything.
[03:12] <theholder> still hissing
[03:12] <ryanthelion> I can wget those sites from my desktop, which is connected to the same exact router
[03:13] <jusexcon> ryan : So it works on the same computer, but different operating system?
[03:13] <jusexcon> ryan : If it's a different computer, it could be your computer's network card or something
[03:13] <Danny78> theholder:  you may just have a bad cord---  loook for the spot, cut it and crimp it back together
[03:13] <ryanthelion> No, I have two Ubuntu computers. It works on one, but not the one that is being used as my server...
[03:13] <ai6pg> Hello
[03:13] <al_nz1> can I reset the settings for ssh client on Ubuntu?
[03:14] <theholder> Danny78 its hissing on the speakers too
[03:14] <ryanthelion> It's not a general internet problem - people can access my server like they should be able to.
[03:14] <jusexcon> ryan : I'm asking about your computer
[03:14] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: running memory check now
[03:14] <Danny78> theholder:  what's your soundcard?
[03:14] <theholder> second
[03:14] <jusexcon> ryan : And how is it connected?
[03:14] <jusexcon> ryan : Ethernet cable or wireless card
[03:14] <mattmatt> My virtual teletypes are unreadable. When I press Ctrl Alt F1,  The display is duplicated along the middle of the screen and the fonts are too fuzzy to make out anything. Any thoughts of where I should start to fix this?
[03:14] <ryanthelion> jusexcon: One is connected wirelessly to the router (this desktop), the other is wired to the router (the server)
[03:15] <jusexcon> Oh yeah - how do I message?
[03:15] <elkng> how can I find all installed packages with "word" in names?
[03:15] <theholder> http://paste.ubuntu.com/552335/
[03:15] <shcherbak> Maxeetoh: openwrt appears to be best shot
[03:15] <Danny78> ryanthelion:  does it work with a cable?
[03:15] <crooks3o6> dpkg -l | grep word
[03:15] <jusexcon> ryan : Ok, so, it could be your wirelss card
[03:15] <crooks3o6> elkng: dpkg -l | grep word
[03:15] <ryanthelion> The server is the one that isn't work - it's the one connected via the wired connection.
[03:15] <jusexcon> ryan : Unless you have different operating systems on it, and it will connect fine
[03:16] <jusexcon> ryan : What is the brand and model number of your wireless card?
[03:16] <Danny78> ryanthelion:  sounds like the router
[03:16] <vocx> mattmatt, those TTY don't work anymore in modern computers... Now seriously, I've had problems like that when I changed the line of the kernel boot vga=790 in grub.
[03:16] <al_nz1> Could someone please help? I am trying to ssh into a server with a key. It works on my backtrack laptop, but when I try from Ubuntu Desktop I get "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key"
[03:16] <al_nz1> something funny with ssh from Ubuntu
[03:16] <theholder> ...
[03:16] <elkng> crooks3o6: thanks
[03:16] <ryanthelion> Danny78: I'll look into that. It's never happend before, these programs worked fine.
[03:16] <ryanthelion> The only thing I've done since then was update some packages.
[03:17] <jusexcon> ryan : So, it works on your operating system(s) on the same computer that is not ubuntu
[03:17] <jusexcon> ryan : But it doesn't work on ubuntu?
[03:17] <jusexcon> ryan : Or do you have only ubuntu on your computer
[03:17] <Danny78> ryanthelion:  I finally changed my PPPoE from my AT&T modem to a router and it fixed several weird problems.
[03:17] <jusexcon> ryan : It could be that a package did something
[03:17] <mattmatt> vocx: I see. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the menu.lst file anymore. Do you know where grub takes its configuration from these days?
[03:18] <Danny78> theholder:  is that onboard?
[03:18] <jusexcon> ryan : So, do you have any other operating systems?
[03:18] <theholder> yes
[03:18] <ryanthelion> Danny78: I have another computer connected to the same router, that works fine, though, that's the tough part. Is there a way to diagnose a specific connection
[03:18] <theholder> its my netbook
[03:18] <ryanthelion> jusexcon: I have the same ubuntu version on two computers, that's it. It works fine on one of these computers
[03:19] <jusexcon> ryan : What is the name and model number of the wireless card
[03:19] <jusexcon> ryan : It could be that it stopped working
[03:19] <Danny78> ryanthelon:  you mean a bad port?  switch the cables...  there's also software (used to work telecom) that can traverse the cable and diagnose any signal loss
[03:19] <jusexcon> ryan : Because of something you installed or so
[03:19] <vocx> mattmatt, that depends, do you use grub 1 or grub 2? The standard is to install grub 2 now, but I still use grub 1 since I installed Ubuntu several releases ago.
[03:20] <ryanthelion> jusexcon: It's not the wireless card - the wireless connection works fine, it's the wired one that's weird. I think a package is interfering somewhere, so I wish I could get a more verbose diagnostic of 'when/why' the connection fails.
[03:20] <EnigmaticCoder> How do I check if logrotate is started?
[03:20] <jusexcon> ryanthelion: Check the packages you installed
[03:20] <EnigmaticCoder> (It's a service, btw)
[03:20] <Danny78> theholder:  even the crappy $30 cards are worth not having strange hissing and other weird stuff--  I've never cared for Realtek onboard audio
[03:20] <ryanthelion> okay, I'll try somet things
[03:20] <Idol_Mind> arg! ok, so if I log into my old install, how do I backup everything in my old home folder to be put into my new home on new install?
[03:21] <jusexcon> ryan: It could be what you just said
[03:21] <mattmatt> vocx: I'm guessing it's grub 2... I found grub.cfg. I'll try and remove the vga line and reboot.
[03:21] <theholder> Danny78 well i cant change right now =/
[03:22] <Roasted> In OpenShot with Ubuntu I'm trying to take a 30 minute video segment (AVI) and cut out exactly 5 minutes of it, sort of like how you can do in Audacity. It's proving oddly hard to me to do it though. How can I accomplish this?
[03:22] <ryanthelion> ty
[03:22] <jusexcon> ryan : ?
[03:22] <EnigmaticCoder> exit
[03:22] <vocx> Idol_Mind, just copy and paste into another disk. But now you have access to the encrypted partition?
[03:23] <theholder> ...
[03:23] <Danny78> theholder:  there are other things you could try like make sure all the cords and connectors look ok.  Dust off the motherboard.
[03:23] <wodbrent> best site to check up IP-adres?
[03:23] <jusexcon> wod : ip-adress.com or something
[03:23] <crooks3o6> whatismyip.com
[03:23] <theholder> I am using a netbook with i would rather not open ¬_¬
[03:23] <Danny78> theholder:  x-fi isn't bad for the price
[03:24] <Danny78> oh
[03:24] <Idol_Mind> vocx, not yet, gonna log in to my old install and try to C&P it over
[03:24] <Idol_Mind> brb
[03:24] <jusexcon> wodbrent : http://www.ip-adress.com
[03:24] <Danny78> theholder:  I'd spray compressed air in all the inlets and then get one of those coolers that goes under it
[03:24] <sailinginrio> hi KM0201, same result on 32 and 64 bit, i see the screen to select languague, click ok on TRY ubuntu and after a few seconds that the white cursor sits on the upper left hand corner the screen goes totally black. the cd keeps churning after about 2 minutes i can hear the welcome music of ubuntu and then nothing...
[03:25] <KM0201> sailinginrio: yeah, you're probbaly gonna have to try the alternate install cd....
[03:25] <KM0201> !alternate | sailinginrio
[03:25] <mattmatt> vocx: It works now. I removed "vga-769 quiet splash" from the boot line. That was easy. Thanks for the help.
[03:25] <nemo> hey guys. I just installed  https://launchpad.net/~lexical/+archive/hwe-wireless on a Toshiba to get WIFI
[03:25] <xTheGoat121x> Is there a way to dismiss a libnotify popup?
[03:25] <nemo> trouble is, it isn't autoloading the module
[03:25] <nemo> I'd like to know what the official ubuntu method is to load it
[03:25] <nemo> (works fine with modprobe of course)
[03:26] <sailinginrio> at what stage do i type !alternate?
[03:26] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: yeah, uninstall it..lol
[03:26] <KM0201> sailinginrio: its a separate ISO you have to download/burn
[03:26] <Maxeetoh> sudo: update: command not found anyone? :P
[03:26] <sailinginrio> ok! thank you I will look for it!
[03:26] <xTheGoat121x> KM0201, hahaha, well, my girlfriend would rather keep it
[03:26] <Danny78> is there a way to try a different source for a package with apt-get?
[03:26] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: lol
[03:26] <nemo> sudo modprobe r8192ce_pci
[03:27] <vocx> mattmatt, yes, that vga line. It's supposed to get you a better looking terminal, but it always gives problems. You also removed "quiet splash", that's not really necessary.
[03:27] <nemo> would like to know how to do that automatically in nicest way possible
[03:27] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: what program do you want to disable it on?
[03:27] <kroq-gar78> Maxeetoh: what are you trying to do?
[03:27] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: also, you could set up users, set up her user account, and your user account, and disable it on yours, but not on hers
[03:27] <kroq-gar78> Are you trying to update your system?
[03:27] <xTheGoat121x> KM0201, it's not so much that I want to disable it -- it's stuck
[03:27] <Maxeetoh> kroq-gar78 the command is sudo update -grub2
[03:27] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: what do you mean "stuck"
[03:27] <Maxeetoh> im triying to fix the boot problem
[03:27] <j_ayen_green> so I'm booting from a live 10.04 cd in vbox ... and for the longest time now I have a purple screen with two white icons at the bottom ... some file or media icon I think in a rectangle, =, and a man in a circle
[03:27] <kroq-gar78> shouldn't it be sudo update-grub?
[03:27] <Maxeetoh> kroq-gar78 i have win7 and linux but only boot linux
[03:27] <kroq-gar78> ah no space after "update"
[03:28] <KM0201> Maxeetoh: no its sudo update-grub2  no space
[03:28] <mattmatt> vocx: I know, but I like to see the [OK]'s scroll up...
[03:28] <Maxeetoh> let me see :D
[03:28] <xTheGoat121x> KM0201, a message informing her that the battery on her netbook is full came up and hasn't gone away at all.
[03:28] <theholder> the audio keeps dropping
[03:28] <theholder> also
[03:28] <theholder> =/
[03:28] <Maxeetoh> yeeeehhh
[03:28] <Maxeetoh> thank u bouthh
[03:28] <bullgard4> What package does install the directory ~/Software ? I have it on a Lucid and on a Maverick computer. All my Ubuntu friends whom I asked do not have it. But googling shows that some other ubunteros do have it as well.
[03:28] <kroq-gar78> yeah, like KM0201 said
[03:28] <Maxeetoh> thanks :)
[03:29] <theholder> Gnea
[03:29] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: so you just want to remove the battery?
[03:29] <theholder> its still hissing
[03:29] <theholder> =/
[03:29] <vocx> j_ayen_green, so, that one is your virtual hard drive? Or what? You never cloned the disk and those things you wanted to do?
[03:29] <Gnea> hi
[03:29] <Maxeetoh> really cool people here... so helpful
[03:29] <Gnea> theholder: did you reboot?
[03:29] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, sorry for the long waiy had to do some chores.:)
[03:29] <theholder> no
[03:29] <nemo> hum. I suspect it should go in /etc/modules.d but I guess I can always use rc.local :-/
[03:29] <theholder> lemme
[03:29] <xTheGoat121x> KM0201, I'd much rather just get rid of the notification about the full battery
[03:29] <j_ayen_green> vocx: I found the ubuntu install cd, so I booted from it inside vbox instead
[03:29] <Gnea> k
[03:29] <nit-wit> *wait
[03:29] <theholder> brb
[03:29] <nemo> odd that it isn't in the erm. pcimap or whateva
[03:29] <IdleOne> bullgard4: do you have any 3rd party repositories enabled ?
[03:29] <j_ayen_green> vocx: hard drive light is flashing, so I guess it's doing -something-
[03:29] <theholder> nit-wit?
[03:30] <j_ayen_green> but it's been 5 min
[03:30] <nit-wit> theholder, yes
[03:30] <Gnea> theholder: just go for it, it shouldn't hiss until it's booted back up
[03:30] <vocx> j_ayen_green, but it didn't boot completely? Open the icon, that's supposed to be your virtual hard drive, where fstab is.
[03:30] <kroq-gar78> Maxeetoh: on the forums, there are even more, helpful people :)
[03:30] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: system/pref/power management, click the "general tab" and at the bottom click "never display an icon"
[03:30] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: no problem im waiting for memtest tp finish
[03:30] <nemo> oh. right. modules.autoload.d
[03:30] <nemo> duh
[03:31] <j_ayen_green> vocx: i'm waiting for the live cd to boot
[03:31] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, I will be on
[03:31] <xTheGoat121x> KM0201, ah, I know that. But it's not the icon that's a problem
[03:31] <Maxeetoh> kroq-gar78 okiii thankss
[03:31] <fixer> man xinit on ubuntu server is FAIL
[03:31] <KM0201> ..
[03:31] <kroq-gar78> ...
[03:31] <WhatToDo> ....
[03:31] <Gnea> fixer: as it should be
[03:31] <nit-wit> theholder, did you need something
[03:31] <fixer> lol
[03:32] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: well i guess you can just remove notification area, but that is gonna remove your networking applet, etc
[03:32] <j_ayen_green> maybe it doesn't like the cd? i'm not sure what the symbols mean
[03:32] <KM0201> and even your sound applet
[03:32] <brainchildpro> Is anyone familiar with dual booting ubuntu and OS X?
[03:32] <xTheGoat121x> KM0201, it's nothing on the panel that is the problem -- it's literally the LibNotify bubble that's stuck
[03:33] <Gnea> !anyone | brainchildpro
[03:33] <WhatToDo>  pass complete, no errors
[03:33] <Zorlin> hiya
[03:33] <Zorlin> I'm getting a bunch of errors on shell login (.bashrc related I think?)
[03:33] <Meshezabeel_> Is there anyway to get ubuntu to do a split screen, so that if I maximize an application in the left pane it willl only fill the left pane (same with the right)?
[03:33] <Zorlin> anyone able to help?
[03:33] <KM0201> xTheGoat121x: dunno... maybe try uninstalling libnotify
[03:33] <WhatToDo> nit-wit:
[03:34] <nit-wit> Zorlin, ask the question.
[03:34] <wodbrent> jusexcon; Thanks
[03:34] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, yes
[03:34] <Zorlin> nit-wit: I just did
[03:34] <WhatToDo> pass complete, no errors
[03:34] <theholder> Gnea its stopped but it hisses as soon as sound is played back
[03:34] <vocx> Meshezabeel_, isn't that like adjusting the size of the window to your liking?
[03:34] <bullgard4> IdleOne: I have installed all my software via Synaptic.  Synaptic does not show a "3rd party software" tab or entry. What do you mean by "3rd party repository" then?
[03:34] <Zorlin> Let me rephrase that, can someone help me fix a .bashrc problem thats throwing errors when I login via SSH?
[03:34] <ao1782> anyone know how to fix the speakers so the sound comes out just the headphones?
[03:34] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, hard to say from here really
[03:34] <brainchildpro> plug them in?
[03:34] <Gnea> theholder: weird. when did it srart doing this?
[03:35] <milamber> !errors | Zorlin
[03:35] <Meshezabeel_> vocx: yes, you are exactly correct, but rather than resizing each new window each time, this would enable me to not have that hassel
[03:35] <Danny78> I switched download sources and still dnsproxy is failing
[03:35] <kozik> you know whatse seven different kinds of awesome??? you get the touchpad to die, and whe you start typing the stupid thing comes back like bad mexican food
[03:35] <theholder> always =/
[03:35] <IdleOne> bullgard4:  non official repository
[03:35] <Zorlin> http://pastebin.com/JuLicKRG
[03:35] <Zorlin> milamber: already on it
[03:35] <KM0201> ao1782: is yoru sound coming out the headphones, and the speakers?
[03:35] <zaery> Using testdisk, i fixed my drive, but now all it has is a lost+found folder, at first glance, it looks like it has all of my data, and it's at least near the right size, is there any way to get it back to the same file structure without having to do it manually?
[03:35] <ao1782> yes
[03:35] <Gnea> theholder: k, what version of ubuntu?
[03:35] <theholder> its just got annoying cause its causing my mic to hiss
[03:35] <nit-wit> Zorlin, can you paste the errors to a pastebin your description may not be enough in general.
[03:35] <theholder> 10.10
[03:35] <Zorlin> nit-wit: http://pastebin.com/JuLicKRG
[03:35] <Zorlin> again, already on it
[03:35] <JacobF> I want to set my computer (desktop) to wakeup in 7 hours and I tried using rtcwake, which worked, but it hangs after it wakes up and gives me a blank screen until I hold down the power button.  How can I get around this??
[03:35] <Gnea> theholder: regular ubuntu or netbook remix?
[03:35] <KM0201> ao1782: try this.. system/pref/sound pref... click the "hardware" tab... and at the bottom where it says "profile".. try changing some options down there...
[03:36] <theholder> ubuntu netbook remix
[03:36] <Zorlin> as far as I can tell my .bashrc file on the remote system is pretty much the same as the one I have on this machine (log: http://pastebin.com/JuLicKRG)
[03:36] <kozik> does anyone know why my touchpad resurrects itself when i start typing?
[03:36] <Gnea> theholder: pulseaudio disabled?
[03:36] <kozik> or how i can make it stop?
[03:36] <theholder> i dont know
[03:36] <nit-wit> Zorlin, without the whole command it seems unlikely ant=y help can be done it shows a error in the command
[03:36] <theholder> how do i check?
[03:36] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: it comes alive?
[03:37] <Zorlin> nit-wit: I'll FTP in and grab the .bashrc file?
[03:37] <kozik> yeA its dead and then i type and its alive
[03:37] <kozik> its either a miracle or real freakin annoying
[03:38] <Gnea> !pulseaudio | theholder
[03:38] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: how long does it stay alive for after you use the keyboard?
[03:38] <kozik> for good
[03:38] <Gnea> theholder: you should be able to disable it if it isn't already through /etc/default/pulseaudio
[03:38] <ao1782> i dont have a hardware tab
[03:38] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: when does it die?
[03:38] <Zorlin> Here is the .bashrc file: http://pastebin.com/aaHB4tEr
[03:39] <kozik> i killed it through the synclient command, and saved my session
[03:39] <kozik> but then when i type
[03:39] <Zorlin> nit-wit: there is no command, those are *errors thrown as I log into the shell*
[03:39] <Zorlin> which started after editing .bashrc
[03:39] <zaery> Anyone know what ".VBoxNetFlt.o.cmd" is?
[03:39] <Zorlin> and I reverted it (it was appended lines) but they are still happening
[03:39] <nit-wit> Zorlin, I'm not a real shell user but it shows a error line 32
[03:39] <Zorlin> zaery: VirtualBox Network something
[03:39] <theholder> Gnea my sound is working but pulseadio wasnt installed
[03:40] <theholder> =O
[03:40] <Gnea> theholder: oh, that's just fine then
[03:40] <bullgard4> IdleOne: Synaptic > Software Sources >Other Software shows asserted 3 items: http://packages.medibuntu.org/lucid, http://archive.canonical.com/lucid, http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/stable. --  Please use official terminology. --  And now please answer the question which I have put originally.
[03:40] <Zorlin> looks like a shellscript used by VirtualBox I'd guess
[03:40] <nit-wit> Zorlin, in your first error paste
[03:40] <Zorlin> nit-wit: Yes, I know.
[03:40] <theholder> its installing now
[03:40] <theholder> ::O
[03:40] <Gnea> theholder: i'm really not sure then... it really sounds like something's volume is just too high
[03:40] <nemo> hm. there is no autoload. erm. ok.
[03:40] <nemo> back to my orig q
[03:41] <Gnea> theholder: er, I didn't say you should install it... what netbook do you have?
[03:41] <theholder> asus eee pc 701SD
[03:41] <theholder> =/
[03:41] <nemo> what is the automatic on startup version of sudo modprobe r8192ce_pci
[03:41] <Gnea> aah, I've got a 1005ha
[03:41] <Zorlin> doesn't seem to be anything wrong with line 32
[03:41] <theholder> nice
[03:41] <zaery> Zorlin: i kinda expected that, thanks
[03:41] <theholder> :D
[03:41] <Gnea> but I'm on 10.04won't touch 10.10
[03:41] <^Ghost^> heloo
[03:42] <^Ghost^> i like trains
[03:42] <kozik> Meshezabeel_ yuo still with me? i got it to die with a synclient touchpad command (synclient touchpad=1) and saved my session, but when i type it comes back on
[03:42] <^Ghost^> ;]
[03:42] <theholder> ok Gnea the intall finished now what =?
[03:42] <IdleOne> bullgard4: What I am trying to say is that perhaps you are using a repository that is not sponsored buy canonical, such as the medibuntu or perhaps the google.com, is there anything in ~/Software?
[03:42] <Gnea> theholder: reboot i guess
[03:42] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, have you tried loading a thumb of the computer will boot from one?
[03:42] <theholder> k brb
[03:42] <nemo> hm. it is in modules.pcimap
[03:42] <nemo> what the heck
[03:42] <nit-wit> *0f=if
[03:42] <Meshezabeel_> kozik, are you wanting to disable it completely?
[03:43] <kozik> yes [referably
[03:43] <^Ghost^> jest tu ktos polakiem?
[03:43] <^Ghost^> ;]
[03:43] <^Ghost^> !seen *pl*
[03:43] <Danny78> ok, #samba is kinda like Wyoming
[03:43] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: have you tried editing xorg.conf?
[03:44] <j_ayen_green> where can I pastebin an image of these icons for someone to look at?
[03:44] <kozik> how do i find that in 10.10?
[03:45] <kozik> i edited it in an older one, and said touchpad "off" and it killed my mouse, and keyboard too.. so im a little paranoid of that
[03:45] <vocx> !paste | j_ayen_green
[03:45] <bullgard4> IdleOne: Yes, there are in it the following subdirectories: Audio, Backup, Betreibssysteme, Booten, Computersprachen, Dateimanager, Dateisysteme, Datenformate, Drucken, i18n, Kommunikationsprogramme, Preboot Execution Environment, Protokolle, Terminalprogramme, Typografie, Virtualbox, VLC and VMWare. Several of them do include subdirectories in turn.
[03:46] <theholder> Gnea ok
[03:46] <theholder> its still there but its not all the time now
[03:46] <IdleOne> bullgard4: do you use the same /home with a different distro maybe?
[03:46] <bullgard4> IdleOne: No.
[03:46] <j_ayen_green> vocx: thanks. http://imagebin.org/131920
[03:47] <j_ayen_green> that's all i've seen since telling vbox to boot from the ubuntu install cd
[03:47] <theholder> Gena what do i do now?
[03:47] <IdleOne> bullgard4: hmm, sorry I can't think of what would create a ~/Software directory
[03:48] <bullgard4> IdleOne: Thank you for commenting.
[03:48] <skullboy> how do i do compiz shade events on ubuntu 10.10
[03:48] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
[03:48] <Gnea> theholder: not sure,play with the pulseaudio settings....
[03:48] <vocx> j_ayen_green, oh, rather strange. It seems to me that's a keyboard, an equals sign, and a body. Hence referring to something about accessibility, perhaps a missing keyboard. Reboot. Maybe the disk was not read the first time.
[03:48] <skullboy> how do i do compiz shade events on ubuntu 10.10
[03:48] <EnigmaticCoder> Does log rotate automatically run?
[03:49] <EnigmaticCoder> logrotate
[03:49] <bullgard4> !patience | skullboy
[03:49] <IdleOne> skullboy: you can also get help in #compiz if nobody here answers
[03:49] <zoid> aria2++
[03:49] <KM0201> skullboy: there are TONS of options in compiz, have you went through the settings managter
[03:49] <vocx> bullgard4, perhaps some program you downloaded from the university
[03:49] <KM0201> skullboy: if you've looked there and its not obvious, ask in #compiz
[03:50] <bullgard4> vocx: Yes indeed. But so far I was not able to figure out which one.
[03:51] <j_ayen_green> vocx: same again... says initializing, and then the icons appear and it stops reading
[03:51] <EnigmaticCoder> Found out that logrotate is running automatically. Looked at /var/lib/logrotate/status
[03:52] <theholder> OOOO
[03:52] <theholder> its stopped
[03:52] <nosaj> 1111
[03:52] <theholder> but my mic hisses
[03:52] <j_ayen_green> vocx: burn a new disk?
[03:53] <theholder> Gnea?
[03:53] <Meshezabeel_> any luck there kozik
[03:53] <vocx> j_ayen_green, perhaps the disk is bad. You can download just an iso and mount that. And since you don't need much, you could download a different distro, which would be smaller in size, but still have the usual commands to mount the disk and edit the fstab.
[03:53] <kozik> 1 sec
[03:54] <vocx> j_ayen_green, or if you have a good connection, Ubuntu again.
[03:55] <j_ayen_green> vocx: Ubuntu again...?
[03:55] <kozik> which file should i edit
[03:55] <vocx> j_ayen_green, I mean, download an Ubuntu iso again.
[03:55] <j_ayen_green> ah
[03:55] <Shoggoth> help! My Ubuntu 10.10 install has spontaneously stopped working... gdm fails on bootup but I can run it manually...please help
[03:55] <kozik> sorry trying to multitasl
[03:56] <vocx> j_ayen_green, either way you don't need to burn a new disk, because the iso can be mounted in a virtual machine
[03:56] <j_ayen_green> vocx: so-so connection...40 min. i'll let it finish, and mount it instead of the cd
[03:56] <EnigmaticCoder> If foo is a symbolic link to bar and I cd foo, is it the same as cd bar?
[03:57] <kozik> meshezabeel_ what should i change once i get there
[03:57] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: no worries, do you have a file called synaptics?
[03:57] <kozik> yea
[03:57] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: what do your /var/log/Xorg.0.log  indicate?
[03:57] <Shoggoth> (WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
[03:57] <Shoggoth>  ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
[03:57] <Shoggoth> that was the tail
[03:58] <DJCharlie> quick question. i've just set up 2 identical servers for a shoutcast station. what would be the easiest way to set them up for automatic failover (non apache)?
[03:58] <Shoggoth> I've tried google but they all refer to when a change has been made... I haven't changed anything
[03:58] <jeeves__> has anyone here come accross a ping issue where it resolves the DNS name, but dosn't get replies?  I know the network is good (I'm on it on IRC), but I can't get the server to see the network
[03:58] <Shoggoth> been working fine for nearly a month
[03:59] <edbian> jeeves__: What are you pinging?  A remote website or something across the Internet?
[03:59] <kozik> meshezabeel_ what should i change in there?
[03:59] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: just double checking something on the new format before I give it to you
[03:59] <kozik> ok
[04:00] <jeeves__> edbian, I can ping internal names/IPs, but when I try external names/IPs, I can resolve the IP address, but no ping reply
[04:00] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: does that error message mean anything to you?
[04:00] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: ww I think is just a warning
[04:00] <Shoggoth> indeed
[04:00] <edbian> jeeves__: Many firewalls (and middleboxes in general) block ping (ICMP) to protect against ping floods and such.
[04:00] <edbian> jeeves__: It bothers many people (including me)
[04:01] <T3CHKOMMIE> i have a server question but no one over at ubuntuer-server is alive..... can anyone help me?
[04:01] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: indeed, however the fact that it's the last line in the log suggestions something is amiss
[04:01] <jeeves__> edbian, this is a brand new install of 10.04.  Is there a default firewall installed?  (I can ping from my laptop (also running 10.04) so I know it's not the network
[04:01] <edbian> jeeves__: It's possible that A your networks firewall is blocking the ping or that some firewall on the internet is blocking them.  Hard to tell which without doing a traceroute :)
[04:01] <edbian> jeeves__: There is a firewall built into the kernel.  It's called iptables.  By default it allows all traffic through.  You can see what rules are set on it by issuing sudo iptables -L
[04:02] <jeeves__> edbian, lol, I can't even do an apt install since I can't get out to the net
[04:02] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: I assume it is just "Option "TouchpadOff" "1"" but want to double check.
[04:02] <edbian> jeeves__: (that's a capitol L)
[04:02] <edbian> jeeves__: You're on IRC on the machine?  You're on the internet.
[04:02] <jeeves__> edbian, yep.  that's why I know the connection is good, and I'm connecting to the box using out domain name.
[04:03] <edbian> jeeves__: You're connecting to what box?  Are there two computers here?
[04:03] <jeeves__> edbian, hence why I'm here asking
[04:03] <jeeves__> edbian, yes, this is a headless server that's sitting in the basement.  I'm on a laptop on the same internal network
[04:03] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: it's (EE) is what you would see if it dies WW (WW) warning, (EE) error
[04:04] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: yes I know except X fails to run and there are no (EE) entries in the log
[04:04] <edbian> jeeves__: What machine are you connected to IRC with?  The laptop or the server?
[04:04] <kozik> meshezabeel_ do i need quotes around option, too?
[04:04] <jeeves__> edbian, the laptop
[04:04] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: btw. I pasted two lines there.... the last line is actually ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
[04:04] <edbian> jeeves__: Can the laptop ping addresses the the server cannot?
[04:04] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: remove the first and last quote
[04:04] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: then maybe it came up ok but is setup to display on a device you are not looking at?
[04:04] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: any idea of what that is referring to?
[04:04] <edbian> jeeves__: Both machines have the same gateway right?
[04:05] <jeeves__> edbian, correct.  the ONLY box in the house that can't ping out is the server
[04:05] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: nope... the X server isn't running
[04:05] <edbian> jeeves__: Ah-Ha!  is iptables empty?
[04:05] <kozik> so i dont need one around 1 either?
[04:05] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: the odd thing is that if I log into a console session and run service gdm start it works perfectly
[04:05] <jeeves__> edbian, yes, IPtables is empty, and the server is getting it's IPs via DHCP (same as every other system in the house (since they're all statically assigned))
[04:06] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: also there's only one vidcard - it's a laptop
[04:06] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: look at the option under #6 here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad/Hardy
[04:06] <kozik> also, it says i cant edit the file as im not root. do i need to change the sudo password so i can actually be root for this?
[04:06] <edbian> jeeves__: You just contradicted youself?  Did the server get it's IP via DHCP or statically (for the record I don't think it makes a difference as long as it is a valid address)
[04:06] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: what editor do you use?
[04:06] <chrisA1> 'lo all.
[04:07] <jeeves__> edbian, the DHCP server hands out IPs statically assigned to the NICs MAC
[04:07] <kozik> gedit
[04:07] <kozik> whatever the default is?
[04:07] <chrisA1> Having gotten wifi working, I'm trying to get it to automatically do so.
[04:07] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: in terminal try: gksudo gedit filename
[04:08] <chrisA1> I've discovered /etc/network/interfaces, and wlan0 appears on its own, now.
[04:08] <edbian> jeeves__: oh i see.  Thanks for the clarification.  I have seen something like this once before.  When i was in college we had a lab and the Ubuntu server refused to ping out.  But it said something about Ping: Operation Not Permitted" and it didn't matter if I was root or not.  Is that problem similar to yours?
[04:08] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: is it possible some kind of race condition with the kernel modeset ?
[04:08] <chrisA1> But I'm not sure how to get it to associate with our router on reboot, and run 'dhcpcd wlan0'.
[04:08] <jeeves__> edbian, nope.  the command runs, but times out waiting for the reply
[04:08] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: I had something like this happen years ago in debian,  I don't remember how I fixed it,  I think I ended up with a work around script to start and later upgraded
[04:08] <chrisA1> Does this call for a script? If so, what would it look like, and how do I set it up to run on startup?
[04:09] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: it happened once before a few months back... but I'd only just installed the OS ... so I just re-installed
[04:09] <edbian> jeeves__: traceroute and see how far the packets get.
[04:09] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: not really in a position to do that atm
[04:09] <jeeves__> edbian, lol, can't, can't install it!
[04:09] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[04:10] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: worth a shot
[04:10] <edbian> jeeves__: traceroute6 is installed by default.  Is this a fresh install?  Did this problem always exist as long as Ubuntu has been installed?
[04:10] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: shall try... thanks
[04:10] <jeeves__> edbian, fresh install after a failed forced upgrade from 8.04
[04:11] <JustMozzy> hi guys. I am really annoyed by this problem. after I upgraded to 10.10, whenever I touch my touchpad, ubuntu simply closes everything and logs me out.... can anyone help me? at lest point me in a direction, I have no idea what is going on :s
[04:11] <kozik> meshezabeel_ quotes around the 1? yes or no
[04:11] <Samison> Hi  I lost my NetworkManager panel applet when I rebooted after installing pppoeconf, and I can't even find an applet package in Synaptic.  Anyone know how I can resote it?
[04:11] <edbian> jeeves__: and traceroute6 ?
[04:11] <edbian> Samison: It's part of the indicator applet
[04:11] <USSJoin> I had an ubuntu-server install (designed to be headless) that I found I needed X etc. on for wine. I installed all that (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop), and I now notice that I can't get it to recognize my sound cards (either onboard ALC888 or usb audio). /proc/asound shows both cards, but pulseaudio (to which I have no particular allegiance, it's just the default) just shows a dummy. Thoughts?
[04:11] <JustMozzy> Samison, it should be in the notification area
[04:12] <jeeves__> edbian, unknowen hosr
[04:12] <Samison> Yes   but it's not
[04:12] <JustMozzy> Samison, I had the same problem. it would not show up in the indicator applet (still have that problem) but showing up in the notification area applet
[04:12] <edbian> jeeves__: ping an address.  Here is google.com: 74.125.95.106
[04:12] <Samison> If I add Notification area to my panel nothing happens
[04:12] <edbian> jeeves__: Although it is not good that traceroute6 cannot resolve domain names.  (BTW I ment to say traceroute google.com's address, not ping it)
[04:13] <kozik> also im missing almost all of those options i see on the site you sent me to.... is this an issue
[04:13] <jeeves__> edbian, the messed up part is that I can ping google.ca (and it resolves the IP, but I don't get replies)
[04:13] <Meshezabeel_> kozik: just like on the link I gave you
[04:13] <edbian> jeeves__: What do you mean you can ping google.ca but you get no replies?  I don't count that as pinging...
[04:13] <jeeves__> edbian, even with just the IP, it still says "unknowen host"
[04:13] <JustMozzy> Samison, humm... then I am out of ideas. but I remember when I googled that problem that there were many similar problems. including in the /etc/network/interfaces (is that the file?) to set the eth0 wlan0 or whatever interface it is to auto
[04:14] <JustMozzy> not sure if I am talking bs here, correct me if I am wrong. am still a noob
[04:14] <Samison> OK   There is just a brief flash in my panel when I try and add Notification Area
[04:15] <EnigmaticCoder> Does anyone who uses MythTV know if it's possible to install MythTV on top of ubuntu without it "standing alone?"
[04:15] <Samison> And like I said, Ive been looking for nm-applet or network-manager-applet in synaptic and I cant find them
[04:15] <JustMozzy> hummm...
[04:15] <kozik> Option "Touchpad" "Off"  correct?
[04:15] <edbian> jeeves__: I'm getting confused.  Can you sudo traceroute www.google.com    ?
[04:16] <JustMozzy> kozik, where?
[04:16] <kozik> xorg.conf
[04:16] <jeeves__> edbian, one sec, pastebin is taking forever
[04:16] <edbian> Samison: sudo apt-get install nm-applet
[04:16] <edbian> jeeves__: sure
[04:16] <jeeves__> edbian, http://pastebin.com/Bx0r8Drb
[04:16] <edbian> Samison: Then re add those things to the panel, or restart
[04:16] <Meshezabeel_> kozik:  Option          "TouchpadOff"           "1"
[04:16] <zaery> so, I recovered access to a broken drive, but now all I've got is a lost+found folder and everything in it has a name like: "#20229548", but the names of the things inside one of the numbered folders are normal, correct names, does anyone know if i can fix the numbered names?
[04:16] <JustMozzy> kozak, where do I find the file exactly?
[04:17] <Samison> ok  thank you!
[04:17] <AbhiJit> hi guys
[04:17] <shawn146> hi
[04:17] <shawn146> hey guys
[04:17] <AbhiJit> how can i backup basket and sticky notes?
[04:17] <jeeves__> edbian, here's a song that I'm deticating to this server!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU
[04:17] <AbhiJit> or where do they store notes ?
[04:17] <edbian> jeeves__: Ok, I can see that you cannot ping www.google.ca
[04:18] <jeeves__> edbian, I can't ping anything external
[04:18] <edbian> jeeves__: what about traceroute  ?  Does that work?
[04:18] <jeeves__> edbian, no, anything external comes back with "unknowen host"
[04:18] <edbian> jeeves__: The song is lightening up the mood over here! :D
[04:19] <edbian> jeeves__: no difference between traceroute, traceroute6, and ping
[04:19] <sacarlson> jeeves__: what does sudo route return?
[04:19] <JustMozzy> uhm... is it normal to not have a /etc/X11/xorg.config file?
[04:19] <jeeves__> edbian, that's what I feel like telling myfiance right now
[04:20] <jeeves__> edbian, sudo route returns http://pastebin.com/QRYYjUd4
[04:20] <Meshezabeel_> kozak: to see a list of all commands at the terminal you can also type: synclient -l
[04:21] <sacarlson> jeeves__: you have two networks with the same mask,  that won't work
[04:21] <jeeves__> sacarlson, it's 2 NICs in the same PC.  one is a gig card
[04:21] <edbian> jeeves__: yep, turn off one of those cards or put it on a different network
[04:21] <Cam> Hi EvilPhoenix.
[04:22] <sacarlson> jeeves__: how is 2 nics on the same network going to help anything?
[04:22] <jeeves__> edbian, lol, it worked fine under 8.04!!

[04:22] <jeeves__> sacarlson, damn it, I took one card down, and it works!
[04:23] <edbian> jeeves__: problem: fixed
[04:23] <jeeves__> edbian, not really.
[04:23] <Cam> LOL, it bans nicks?
[04:23] <rww> Cam: for pasteflooding, yes
[04:23] <Cam> Make a f*ckin' user database.
[04:23] <rww> well, quiets.
[04:23] <jeeves__> edbian, I was looking forward to using the one card for internal transfers (it's the gig card)
[04:24] <Cam> It gives you the host every time he talks! Use it!
[04:24] <sacarlson> jeeves__: you can bond two nics into one to get redunency and more speed but's that's not what you did
[04:24] <jeeves__> sacarlson, I don't think the switch will support it!  LOL
[04:25] <edbian> jeeves__: I'm sure you can.  I'm sure I don't know how
[04:25] <jeeves__> true.  Thanks again guys
[04:25] <jeeves__> now, I think it's time for bed.  my cat is staring @ me
[04:25] <edbian> jeeves__: good night!
[04:26] <jeeves__> edbian, have another watch of the video to put a smile on your face!
[04:26] <sacarlson> jeeves__: you might be right about that I"m not sure,  most cheap switch only look at the mac address so it might work,  but in your case I don't think the nic speed will be the slowist in the chain
[04:28] <optik> ok, this may be retarted, but my box has 3 hdds, /dev/sda has boot and /, /dev/sdb has my swap partion, and the rest of it i have assigned to /storage and /dev/sdc is assigned to /storage2 but i cant write anything to /storage or /storage2 nor can i format it or unmount or erase or anything
[04:29] <zaery> are you sure it isn't /mnt/storage or something?
[04:29] <DJCharlie> optik: permissions set right?
[04:30] <skutr3> hhi
[04:31] <sacarlson> optik: what do we see with sudo fdisk -l ?
[04:31] <skutr3> im trying to install ubuntu
[04:31] <skutr3> and i dont understand how to allocate space
[04:31] <skutr3> can anyone help?
[04:31] <mavis> big channel :v
[04:31] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: do you have another partition (such as windows) that you want to keep?
[04:31] <AbhiJit> skutr3, simplest configuration is get 1gb swap and remaining all to / i.e. root
[04:32] <AbhiJit> hi piyushmishra
[04:32] <piyushmishra> how do I add a virtualhost on my local apache?
[04:32] <skutr3> Meshezabell: yes windows 7
[04:32] <piyushmishra> AbhiJit: hi
[04:32] <Meshezabeel_> AbhiJit: generally it's better to have a separate /home in case you want to reinstall the root partition
[04:33] <AbhiJit> piyushmishra, hey that info if given on lamp wiki
[04:33] <mkquist> Meshezabeel_: might wanna aim that at skutr3 too
[04:33] <sacarlson> skutr3: I would have a minimum of 10gb for / root  and about what ever your ram you have as swap,  the rest is not very important
[04:33] <AbhiJit> piyushmishra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[04:33] <skutr3> Meshezabeel: are you there?
[04:33] <AbhiJit> Meshezabeel_, yes i do have it too
[04:33] <Rave1> skutr3,  the first biggest help someone could give you is to tell you to backup  every thing and anything that you what to keep before you do anything else
[04:34] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: have you decided how much you want for windows and how much for linux?
[04:34] <AbhiJit> Rave1, :D
[04:34] <optik> sacarlson, http://pastebin.com/UhnyNKHv
[04:35] <skutr3> Meshezezabeel i want to give linux the max amount it can have while on a dual boot with windows...
[04:35] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: also, it is generally recommended that you backup your system first before proceeding, just incase a mistake is made.
[04:35] <sacarlson> optik: ok that looks all good,  so what would prevent you from umount?
[04:35] <skutr3> oh sorry spelled your name wrong Meshezabeel
[04:36] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: type mesh (followed by Tab)
[04:36] <skutr3> Meshezabeel i already have a disc
[04:36] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: how big is your hard drive, and how much is currently being used for windows?
[04:36] <optik> sacarlson, had to chown, but put sudo infront of it so i could be owner instead of root x(
[04:36] <optik> sacarlson, im so dumb
[04:36] <sacarlson> optik: this might be a bug that I saw about a week ago in a new version of the kernel,  did you upgrade your kernel recently?
[04:37] <SirFunk> hey, do all keyboard shortcuts get registered somewhere?
[04:37] <sacarlson> optik: ok cool
[04:37] <skutr3> i dont know
[04:37] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: idk
[04:37] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: are you running windows right now?
[04:38] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: I mean is windows running right now so you can check something?
[04:39] <zaery> I have a drive that's unmounted, but still plugged in, and it's still spinning, how do i remove it safely?
[04:39] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_:no im on a live try of ubuntu
[04:39] <luxurymode> zaery: remove the power supply to it, then remove
[04:40] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: i know i have enough space because i installed this before but i had to uninstall because it was problematic
[04:40] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: i want to reinstall
[04:40] <zaery> it's an external usb drive that takes up two usb ports......
[04:40] <AbhiJit> how can i backup basket and sticky notes?
[04:41] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: i dont remember how i partitioned last time though
[04:41] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: here is what I would do as a general guideline: 1) find out how much space your hard drive is and how much space windows is using.
[04:41] <atem> is any girl on this place???? is just curiosity
[04:41] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: how?
[04:42] <IdleOne> atem: yes and this is not a dating site.
[04:42] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: i know my harddrive has 99.9 gb remaining
[04:42] <atem> yea i know, i just wanna know it
[04:42] <zaery> with an external usb drive that takes two ports, the cord looks like a lowercase h(the top being the drive, the bottom being the computer it's plugged into) which one's the power?
[04:43] <Crash1hd> can a folder belong to more then 1 group or only 1 group
[04:43] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: is that 99.9gb currently part of the windows partition, or is it a seperate partition?
[04:43] <zaery> or would disk utility's "power down so that you can remove it safely" be enough? :D
[04:44] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: idk i just remember thats how much windows said i had remaining
[04:44] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: i just wanna know how to allocate disk space so i dont fuck anything up
[04:45] <IdleOne> skutr3: Please keep the language clean.
[04:45] <mkquist> skutr3: do you have more than one partition?
[04:45] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: yeah, it's hard to give you a suggestion if you don't know your partitions
[04:46] <zaery> skutr3: open up disk utility and send us a screenshot :D
[04:46] <sacarlson> Crash1hd: I could be wrong about this but a folder can only be a member of one group but a group can be a part of another group
[04:46] <Crash1hd> sacarlson, ahh ok :) thanks
[04:46] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: can i use GParted to see and take a screenshot
[04:46] <zaery> gparted would work fine, too
[04:46] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: yes you can
[04:46] <skutr3> and send to you Meshezabeel_
[04:47] <piyushmishra> AbhiJit: umm I can't get it to work. :(
[04:47] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: post it on an image posting site
[04:47] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_:  ok hold on
[04:47] <rww> !imagebin
[04:48] <AbhiJit> piyushmishra, #ubuntu-server #httpd
[04:48] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: you should also be able to go to System->Administration->Disk Utility
[04:48] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_:  yeah thats what i was going to do
[04:49] <nunya> is there some way to quickly switch between window managers (ie gnome and ratpoison) quickkly from command line?
[04:49] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: i like Gparted
[04:49] <gotwake88> question: is it a totally idiotic thing to do to send cid through the post?
[04:49] <Samison> Hi  Im back  I tried sudo apt-get install nm-applet and got this error    E: Couldn't find package nm-applet
[04:50] <Samison> Ive lost my network manager applet
[04:50] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: okay, I just didn't think gparted came preinstalled with the livecd
[04:50] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: http://imagebin.org/131933
[04:50] <xangua> Samison: sudo apt-get install gnome-network-manager
[04:50] <xangua> or network-manager-gnome ¿¿
[04:51] <Samison> That is installed, Ive tried reinstalling it, maybe uninstall then reinstall?
[04:51] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: okay, looks like you have some recovery partions stuff going on there or something at the beginning, and not sure why you have about 3GB of empty space in the second spot.
[04:52] <jeeves_moss> is there a way to reimport all the data that was in a database from a system that crashed into a new MySQL install?
[04:52] <xangua> Samison: no idea what do you want
[04:52] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: what do you want me to do?
[04:52] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: I am a bit confused as to why the sda3 is giving you a problem
[04:52] <xangua> nunya: ratpoison¿¿ never head of it...maybe ratpoison --replace ¿¿ the same for : metacity --replace
[04:52] <Samison> I am trying to get my NetworkManager applet back after I installed pppoeconf it disappeared
[04:53] <Meshezabeel_> sda3 should be your windows partition (C: drive), but it has that red exclamation mark and doesn't give a "used" size. Are you sure you shut the drive down correctly?
[04:53] <gotwake88> question
[04:53] <Samison> network-manager and gnome-network-manager are installed
[04:53] <xangua> Samison: do you have notification area in you panel¿¿ if don't add it and then tun: nm-applet
[04:53] <kujablak> Hi, my external hard drive has a problem : it always says that it's full when it shouldn't be because I only used 75% of it, how can I resolve this ?
[04:53] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: ^ that was for you
[04:54] <j_ayen_green> so if I'm in vbox, and I need to boot from a live cd and mount my original file system to edit, the live cd image is ide, and the vbox hard disk file is sata... it seems to go for the hard disk image as primary all the time
[04:54] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: uhhhhhh
[04:54] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: idk
[04:54] <Samison> Notification Area does nothing.  I have no nm-applet
[04:54] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: and I mean, did you shut down windows properly before running the ubuntu live cd?
[04:54] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: tried doing an sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:54] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_:  yes
[04:54] <Samison> is it maybe called network-manager-applet now?
[04:55] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: and?
[04:55] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: you won't be able to resize the ubuntu partition if it had an improper shutdown.  I have not seen that red exclamation mark before, does it say anything if you hover over it?
[04:55] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: didn't work... I've rewritten the xorg.conf by using both X -configure and the nvidia-xconfigu
[04:55] <tripelb> http://i.imgur.com/zSMP2.jpg
[04:55] <nunya> xangua: is there some easy way to type the upside down ?'s
[04:55] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: same problem as before... if I run service gdm start manually everything is fine
[04:55] <Shoggoth> but it just won't boot up with gdm
[04:55] <ack1> Hi guys, question: I have an HP 8440p  running 10.10  the system occasionally is choppy when moving the mouse any idea how to tacklly this problem?
[04:55] <xangua> nunya: buy a latin american keyboard
[04:55] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: I tried to ask you if you had a propriatary video but you had left
[04:56] <exxtreme> I'm using lucid. How do i upgrade to maverick from menu?
[04:56] <xangua> or use laton american keyboard distribution
[04:56] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: yeah... I do... but I tried disabling that too and using straight xorg
[04:56] <xangua> exxtreme: change update setting in Software Origins and set it to update to normal versions
[04:56] <xangua> by default is set to upgrade efrom lts to lts
[04:56] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_: no but i went to info and it said the disk had a bad sector....
[04:56] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: the thing is that the X server works fine when manually invoked standalone or by gdm... it just bombs out when gdm starts at boot
[04:57] <ack1> how do I get rid of keyring?
[04:57] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: really makes no sense
[04:57] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: ok so it's not nvidia or at least not the propriatary part
[04:58] <AbhiJit> how can i backup basket and sticky notes?
[04:58] <AbhiJit> :(
[04:58] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: so when it does work what drivers does it end up using for video and ??
[04:58] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: you'll probably have to go to windows and get that fixed
[04:58] <AbhiJit> is there any basket channel? or i ask in kde channel only?
[04:59] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: anyhow, when you get that done, I'll give you some info that you can use for later:
[04:59] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: oh I have something on my kernel at boot that has a nvidea entry,  I also have nvidia card
[04:59] <genuinewga> Hi, I clean installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 w/ AMP group and then installed sabnzbdplus from the jcfp ppa repo. I just have a command line no GUI though. I can use lynx/w3c to get into localhost:port but externally i can't reach IP:port. So I allowed the sabnzbd port and updated the firewall... with no change :/ ... One more thing is I do launch sabnzbdplus in screen to make sure its running
[04:59] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: I've tried both the proprietary nvidia drivers and the nouveau drivers...both of them work with the manual start of gdm
[04:59] <skutr3> Meshezabeel_:  do you have any idea how to fix it?
[04:59] <ayaka> who know use docbook to output pdf?
[05:00] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: keep in mind this is a config that's been stable for weeks... and it's spontaneously broken
[05:00] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: can't remember how to do a scan/fix for bad sectors in windows
[05:00] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: ok,  but let me look at my kernel entry and see if you have this
[05:00] <skutr3> ok one sec
[05:00] <Rave1> skutr3,  chkdisk
[05:00] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: ya, I'm not sure how that is posible
[05:00] <Samison> Ah ha   I found the Notification Area!  It is invisible because it is empty I think, so the Notification Area is there but I have no NetworkManager applet in it.  Notification Area 2.30.2.  So Im trying to figure out how to get that applet back.  Right now I use pppoeconf through the terminal for a modem connection, and WICD to connect to a router.  I have no nm-applet package, and apt-get fails to retrieve one.
[05:01] <Meshezabeel_> skutr3: you will also need to keep an eye on it as bad sectors often lead to other bad sectors, might need to get a new hard drive at some point
[05:01] <alien_> guys im having a printer issue,here is   http://imagebin.org/131938
[05:02] <alien_> is a kodak ESP 3250
[05:02] <xangua> Samison: if you have wicd installed, you can't have network-manager
[05:03] <Samison> but they still appear in Synaptic
[05:03] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: do you have this in your kernel grub entry --xforcevesa
[05:03] <Samison> Ive even marked gnome-network-manager for reinstallation
[05:03] <jifli> is there anyway to disable gvfs backends?
[05:04] <Samison> wicd, network-manager, gnome-network-manager all installed
[05:04] <relentless> I am having some issues with my install
[05:04] <relentless> There are lines in the middle of my mouse cursor
[05:04] <relentless> and my icons are sall jumbled
[05:04] <Samison> when I first used pppoeconf I had both wicd and NMapplet icons in my panel
[05:04] <xangua> Samison: when you install wicd network-manager is uninstalled
[05:05] <sacarlson> Shoggoth: --xforcevesa  in file /boot/grub/grub.cfg  at line linux	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic root=UUID=29692955-fc33-4537-8a65-ac73e82d0e99 ro   crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M --xforcevesa
[05:05] <Samison> Well it didn't
[05:05] <soreau> I am trying to play pool on pogo but their applet just crashes. Is it flash or what's the problem?
[05:05] <Samison> And I just guided someone in the forum whose network-manager wasn't uninstalled when she installed wicd
[05:06] <Samison> so now Im really confused
[05:06] <Samison> Should I mark network-manager for uninstallation then?
[05:07] <Samison> The person I guided also had the two icons in her panel when she was done
[05:07] <Samison> I thought it uninstalled also, so was suprised when she said she has two icons
[05:08] <WhatToDo> i just tried to install 10.10 from a live cd and it froze on the Preparing to install Ubuntu screen...
[05:09] <AbhiJit> how to control mouse pointer using keyboard?
[05:09] <AbhiJit> helpppppp
[05:09] <Meshezabeel_> soreau: yeah, I helped someone else with pogo, I had to uninstall one flash plugin, and install a different one. Can't remember which is which though.
[05:09] <soreau> Seems I might need to install java/jre
[05:09] <MiguelPerez> i install ubuntu 10.10, and the video frozen a little with video & audio.. what happend :( ?
[05:09] <Samison> If I knew how to show an image of my desktop I could show you
[05:09] <Meshezabeel_> AbhiJit: ALT+F1 :p
[05:09] <AbhiJit> ??
[05:09] <soreau> Samison: Print Screen then go to picpaste.com
[05:10] <AbhiJit> Meshezabeel_, its nothing to do with mouse pointer
[05:10] <Samison> ok
[05:10] <milamber> AbhiJit: ctrl + shift + numlock then use the arrows on the num pad
[05:10] <sacarlson> WhatToDo: my computer is old so I have alot of problems with my cdrom drive,  I try to install without it,  it's about 50% posible bad cd read problem
[05:10] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: I'll give that a try... although if that works I'll be even more baffled...
[05:11] <WhatToDo> i installed it yesterday on this computer with no problems
[05:11] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: brb
[05:11] <alien_> are kodak printer compatible with linux ?
[05:11] <AbhiJit> milamber, wow thanks. it works. any way to adjust the speed?
[05:12] <Meshezabeel_> WhatToDo: how much RAM do you have?
[05:12] <AbhiJit> NVM
[05:12] <AbhiJit> milamber, found it. thank you.
[05:12] <milamber> AbhiJit: np
[05:12] <AbhiJit> sorry for caps
[05:13] <iRabbit> alien: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=501652
[05:13] <Meshezabeel_> AbhiJit: how do you adjust the speed?
[05:13] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: unfortunately that didn't work
[05:13] <AbhiJit> Meshezabeel_, system->preference->assistive technology->keyboard ->last tab
[05:13] <Meshezabeel_> tx AbhiJit
[05:13] <WhatToDo> 1 gig

[05:13] <WhatToDo> it installed fine earlier though
[05:14] <linuzo> Question:  What package do I need to install for lgmp?

[05:15] <Meshezabeel_> WhatToDo: when the live cd first starts up (when you see the icons at the bottom), you can press Esc to do a disc check and memory scan to see if everything is working okay
[05:15] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: well put :)
[05:15] <WhatToDo> Meshezabeel_: i did a memtest earlier and it found no errors
[05:16] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: thanks for your help... I'm going to give up for a while and do some other work
[05:16] <linuzo> trism: you rock buddy!
[05:16] <Shoggoth> sacarlson: I might have to re-install I'm afraid :(
[05:16] <alien_> iRabbit, no good,there is no support for kodak printers at all
[05:17] <Meshezabeel_> WhatToDo: did you also do a disc test to see if there were any disc defects?
[05:17] <iRabbit> alien_: :(
[05:17] <alien_> i have to pay whatever cost me windows just because i cant have support for my printer
[05:18] <WhatToDo> Meshezabeel_: not yet
[05:18] <iRabbit> alien_: you could write some code to make the printer compatible with linux :)
[05:18] <alien_> i wish i could pal
[05:19] <hutsky> Where can I locate the place to set/reset the association of applications with file type?
[05:19] <iRabbit> alien_: but being opensource a lot of manufactures do not include linux support unfortunately :(
[05:20] <Meshezabeel_> WhatToDo: it's worth checking anyhow, could be a cd issue or dirty drive issue, and that will tell you. Other than that I don't really know what the problem could be.
[05:20] <milamber> hutsky: http://www.ubuntufieldmanual.com/?q=node/64
[05:20] <Samison> xangua: The mouse is over the WICD icon, you can see I've got WICD open and that network-manager is also installed, and my attempt to apt-get nm-applet  http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-RGARki70.png
[05:21] <Meshezabeel_> if the disc test fails on that machine, but passes on another machine that would indicate it is probably either a cd drive or machine issue
[05:21] <DJCharlie> quick question. i've just set up 2 identical servers for a shoutcast station. what would be the easiest way to set them up for automatic failover?
[05:22] <Alan502> Can someone help me using firestarter for internet connection sharing?
[05:22] <Alan502> !ICS
[05:22] <gobbe> DJCharlie: heartbeat
[05:22] <hutsky> Thanks, milamber.  I will check there.
[05:22] <DJCharlie> gobbe: i've looked at that, but i'm unclear. do i need a 3rd machine to run heartbeat?
[05:22] <xangua> Samison: you CAN'T use wicd and network manager at the same time, normally when you install one of the two, the other is uninstalled......something weird you did there....please understand and just use one of the two
[05:23] <Samison> Ya its wierd
[05:23] <AbhiJit> how to backup sticky notes guys????
[05:23] <Samison> And I can't get the nm-applet back
[05:23] <AbhiJit> help[pppp
[05:23] <JEEB> Hey, what's the Ubuntu Japanese font that's been used since Ubuntu 9.10?
[05:23] <xangua> Samison: then uninstall wicd
[05:24] <Samison> what I did was install wicd thru synaptic and then configured a connection with pppoeconf
[05:24] <gobbe> DJCharlie: no. two machines with both having heartbeat
[05:24] <gobbe> DJCharlie: heartbeat will control the shared ip
[05:24] <Samison> I can't uninstall WICD b/c I have no nm-applet
[05:24] <WhatToDo> Meshezabeel_: Check finished: no errors found
[05:25] <DJCharlie> gobbe: ok, say server1 is running sc_trans. won't heartbeat see server2 isn't running it and start it?
[05:25] <Samison> NetworkManager was always dropping my connection when running Transmission
[05:25] <Samison> So I switched
[05:25] <gobbe> DJCharlie: heartbeat is active/passive, so either server is running, other stands still
[05:25] <milamber> AbhiJit: sticky notes (from tomboy) are stored in: home/<username>/.local/share/tomboy
[05:25] <AbhiJit> no
[05:26] <AbhiJit> milamber, sticky note is different and tomboy is different i thin k
[05:26] <DJCharlie> hmm...
[05:26] <AbhiJit> lemee checkk
[05:26] <DJCharlie> gobbe: thanks, i'll try it.
[05:26] <milamber> AbhiJit: tomboy is the default sticky notes app in ubuntu
[05:26] <piosalan> <~~~~ need some help
[05:27] <glcat> glcat
[05:27] <xangua> piosalan: looking for job¿¿
[05:27] <gobbe> DJCharlie: there are other clustersuites also available, but i think that hb is simplest one to set up
[05:27] <glcat> 在吗？
[05:27] <xangua> !jp | glcat
[05:27] <piosalan> I accidentally deleted the partition table for my hard drive. Any links tips? Am I screwed?
[05:27] <AbhiJit> milamber, there are only three files with .note extension but in my 'sticky' not app i have loads of notes
[05:27] <gobbe> !ask | piosalan
[05:28] <gobbe> piosalan, backups?
[05:28] <milamber> AbhiJit: what sticky app are you using (usually found in the menu under help >> about)
[05:28] <piosalan> Sorry
[05:28] <AbhiJit> hey guys anyone knows keyboard shortcut for volume control, brightness when not havinv fn keys?
[05:28] <al_nz1> Can someone please help? I used to be able to browse my windows network, now I cant. (No firewall on Win7 PC)
[05:28] <al_nz1> even tried to connecto to a share and cant do that either
[05:28] <piosalan> Gobbe nada
[05:28] <AbhiJit> milamber, the name of the application is only the 'sticky note' application
[05:28] <AbhiJit> its default in gnome
[05:28] <AbhiJit> but its not the tomboy
[05:29] <gobbe> piosalan. there are tools that can guess your partition table, but they are not 100 pes sure
[05:29] <AbhiJit> both are different
[05:29] <piosalan> gobbe: I was deleting the partition table on a usb drive. Stupid I know :(
[05:29] <nunya> is there some quick command line command I can give to switch between windows managers? (ie switching between ratpoison and gnome)
[05:30] <gobbe> piosalan, http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/howto/other-formats/html_single/Partition-Rescue.html try
[05:31] <piosalan> gobbe: hmm. Well my main concern is recovering a few files. If I can't get the an OS running that's acceptable
[05:31] <MiguelPerez> my video/audio is frozen it when i play a song, or video.. what can be ?
[05:32] <milamber> AbhiJit: do alt + f2 and type this in: gedit ~/..gnome2/stickynotes_applet
[05:33] <AbhiJit> milamber, it opens a blank file
[05:34] <gobbe> .gnome2 not two dots
[05:35] <killawat> i had to do a forced shutdown now my wireless isnt working can anyone help?
[05:36] <r00t4rd3d> pci or usb ?
[05:36] <AbhiJit> thanks gobbe
[05:36] <AbhiJit> milamber, yah now i open that configuration file
[05:37] <milamber> AbhiJit: all your notes should be in there. that's the file you need to back up
[05:37] <AbhiJit> oh yah
[05:37] <AbhiJit> milamber, thanks!!! :)
[05:38] <Alan502> Can someone help me using firestarter for internet connection sharing?
[05:38] <Whosisthis> hey
[05:39] <Whosisthis> can anyone help me with powermanagment with ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop?
[05:39] <aihai211> ha
[05:39] <Whosisthis> i need a good app suggestion
[05:39] <genuinewga> I fixed my sabnzbplus issue that I asked for help before by rebooting.. thanks anyhoo, cya
[05:39] <paq7512> what program will image an ntfs drive? or back one up?
[05:39] <milamber> Alan502: firestarter is a firewall. i don't believe it can be used for sharing.
[05:40] <Alan502> milamber, the bot thinks it is
[05:40] <Alan502> !ICS
[05:40] <soreau> Alan502: For sharing you want to setup masquerading. Google 'connection sharing ubuntu'
[05:40] <Alan502> soreau, trust me, i have googled a lot, I even posted a thread in Ubuntu forums but nobody answered :(
[05:41] <Alan502> soreau, yet, none of the tutorials I found seem to work...
[05:41] <milamber> paq7512: you might want to check out dd
[05:41] <Alan502> soreau, firestarter seems as the most solid, and easy, approach
[05:41] <paq7512> what is dd?
[05:41] <soreau> Alan502: I can tell you how to do it but the trick is, you need to disable ubuntu's networking applets
[05:41] <Alan502> soreau, I see, so I would have to kill nm-applet
[05:42] <soreau> Alan502: As well as NetworkManager
[05:42] <Alan502> soreau, to connect to the internet I'm using a huawei modem, it included a linux application for managing it's internet connection, i don't think I can't stop using it
[05:42] <milamber> paq7512: http://linux.die.net/man/1/dd
[05:42] <soreau> Alan502: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370
[05:43] <soreau> Alan502: Well you're going to have to figure that one out yourself but it should be the same basic concepts
[05:43] <Alan502> soreau, which i think i don't have :(
[05:43] <Alan502> what kind of "basic concepts"
[05:44] <milamber> paq7512: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29
[05:44] <soreau> Alan502: masquerading techniques
[05:44] <Alan502> soreau, what is masquerading?
[05:44] <soreau> Alan502: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370
[05:44] <Alan502> I'm looking at it :)
[05:45] <Alan502> soreau, so, basically, after I have done all the steps in the thread my machine will be sharing it's internet connection to ALL the computers in the LAN?
[05:45] <Alan502> soreau, I don't have to configure anything in the other computers?
[05:49] <soreau> Alan502: These are scripts I wrote and use http://pastebin.com/irKnedvT
[05:50] <soreau> Alan502: But I believe you can configure the gateway server for dhcp though I haven't yet
[05:51] <Alan502> soreau, I see, thanks :) but, I need something that does not require configuration on the clients
[05:51] <Alan502> soreau, see, so far, I have been using squid on the main machine, with the internet connection
[05:51] <Alan502> soreau, and the other machines would just connect via the proxy
[05:52] <Jordan_U> Alan502: An easier method with network manger is explained here: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/
[05:52] <Alan502> soreau, but, other devices like phones etc, do not support proxy settings, or default gateway settings etc... so I was trying to do something like what windows does
[05:52] <Jordan_U> Alan502: (Works with Ubuntu as well as Fedora of course)
[05:52] <Alan502> Jordan_U, I'll check it :)
[05:58] <Flynsarmy> Launchpad has this bug set as 'fix committed' https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/658555 yet i never received the fix in ubuntu update? any ideas?
[05:58] <Alan502> Jordan_U, the video was nice but it just shows how to set up an adhoc network :P
[05:59] <Flynsarmy> ahh the fix commited was for nautilus-elementary. annoying
[06:03] <soreau> Jordan_U: Does that allow you to forward ports easily as well?
[06:05] <dinasty> what's the difference between a mount --bind and a symlink?
[06:05] <Jordan_U> soreau: Not that I can find in the nm-connection-editor GUI.
[06:06] <soreau> Jordan_U: ok
[06:06] <r00t4rd3d> soreau, what are you trying to do ?
[06:07] <j_ayen_green> I want to test a fstab entry before I put it in, because last time it killed my boot. What do I have to do to this to make it valid as a mount command? /home/jeff# mount //192.168.1.205/MyComputers/laptop/ubuntu /var/nasbackup cifs username=user,password=pass,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=077 0 0
[06:07] <Jordan_U> Alan502: It also sets up DHCP server and router.
[06:07] <Jordan_U> s/router/routing
[06:07] <soreau> r00t4rd3d: I was trying to help Alan502
[06:07] <r00t4rd3d> oh
[06:08] <Champ> Alright here is my issue: I had a dual booting windows 7 x64 HE and Ubuntu (not sure of the ver) then my HDD crashed and I lost everything, Operating Systems and all. i had a 1TB backup tho. I went and redownloaded ubuntu (because windows refused to reinstall) and then I installed the USB thing and but the ubuntu boot on my USB Pendrive and went to install on my computer, when I got to the partition screen I plugged in my 1TB backup dri
[06:08] <Champ> ugh long text is long sorry :S
[06:11] <elkng> how can I kill "X" without getting it respawn?
[06:11] <Jordan_U> elkng: sudo service gdm stop
[06:11] <sacarlson> Champ: you should focus on the problem first then give the details
[06:13] <Alan502> soreau, yes, and thank you very much. Unfortunately, it is not exactly what I need, but I'm still searching :)
[06:14] <soreau> Alan502: You will figure it out eventually
[06:14] <elkng> how can I make "X" do not autostart on boot?
[06:14] <Champ> well plain and simple: It wont boot
[06:14] <soreau> elkng: Recovery mode
[06:15] <elkng> do I have to do this: "chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm" ?
[06:15] <WhatToDo> my ubuntu 10.04 livecd is stuck on the purple screen where the dots fill in to load and wont actually boot the cd
[06:15] <Alan502> soreau, thanks i hope so
[06:16] <soreau> WhatToDo: Did you verify the image and run the cd check utility?
[06:16] <elkng> soreau: I dont want "Recovery mode" just regular boot without "X" only console
[06:16] <sacarlson> champ well sounds like the pendrive  booted so I assume you mean after install your hard drive boot failed,  my guess is you picked the wrong drive to install mbr
[06:16] <WhatToDo> soreau: i did verify the image
[06:16] <bonjoyee> WhatToDo: press Esc during the boot..and see if there are any error messages
[06:17] <Champ> i picked My Book which was K: and I know that is my ext HDD
[06:17] <soreau> elkng: You could -x gdm, not sure what ubuntu would do then (it might still start an X session)
[06:17] <elkng> thanks
[06:18] <Champ> should I have installed to the USB?
[06:18] <WhatToDo> bonjoyee: none
[06:18]  * Champ is confused lol cuz my int hdd is messed so I cant use it
[06:18] <WhatToDo> the disk is clearly spinning for about a minute and then it just stops spinning and the splash screen continues to do its thing
[06:18] <nit-wit> Champ, post this script run in a pastebin. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[06:19] <sacarlson> Champ: you picked sdk as your mbr?  normaly bios boots from sda,  with usb boot sometimes the usb drive might be considered sda so to setup a boot you might need to pick sdb
[06:19] <bonjoyee> WhatToDo: whats the last message?.....and the most current..?
[06:19] <soreau> WhatToDo: I had a computer behave the same way before it died. Now it can only stay running for about 60 seconds before it freezes
[06:20] <Champ> sorry for being a noob but... sdk? mbr? sdb? :S
[06:20] <WhatToDo> soreau: that's promising haha. i just bought this one used.
[06:20] <nit-wit> Champ, the script i posted will get to the bottom of the situation.
[06:20] <Champ> ok tyvm
[06:21] <WhatToDo> i have no problem booting 10.10 to the desktop, but if i try to install it, the installation freezes on the Preparting to install Ubuntu page where you check to download updates while installing
[06:21] <soreau> WhatToDo: Have you tried installing with an alternate cd? Did you run the cd verification program?
[06:21] <sacarlson> nit-wit: champ: I like nit-wit script idea
[06:21] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, have hyou tried a thumb loaded if you can boot one
[06:22] <nit-wit> *you
[06:22] <nit-wit> sacarlson, it is a keeper
[06:22] <koepi> hey folks
[06:22] <WhatToDo> soreau: i tried about  6 cds so far haha some 10.10 some 10.04
[06:22] <WhatToDo> nit-wit: im not sure what you mean
[06:22] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, can you boot a thumb
[06:22] <soreau> WhatToDo: and?
[06:22] <nit-wit> koepi, whats up
[06:23] <koepi> I have a difficult kernel question
[06:23] <WhatToDo> soreau: same result with all of them respective to their individual issues
[06:23] <koepi> not sure if someone could answer it, but it would save much time for me
[06:23] <w8> fjspojdfopiwj
[06:23] <w8> lohs
[06:23] <koepi> is this the right adress for this kind of request?
[06:23] <nit-wit> koepi, ask away we don't know till hyou ask
[06:23] <nit-wit> *you
[06:23] <soreau> WhatToDo: Oh that's not good. nit-wit was asking if you can boot from a usb pen drive
[06:24] <bonjoyee> WhatToDo: disable the network while installing..or the update checking?
[06:24] <koepi> I want to install an kernel from 9.10 in my 10.04 xubuntu
[06:24] <koepi> is that possible?
[06:24] <nit-wit> WhatToDo, you can load the ISO to a thumb and boot it if your computer allows booting from a USB
[06:24] <WhatToDo> oh, in that case no theres no option to boot from a removable device in my BIOS
[06:24] <soreau> koepi: You can but you should ask yourself why you want to do that
[06:24] <WhatToDo> bonjoyee: it doesnt seem to be a problem of connection but an overall freeze in the entire process
[06:24] <koepi> I need that lower kernel to get my old graphic card running
[06:25] <nit-wit> soreau, good question
[06:25] <soreau> koepi: What card?
[06:25] <koepi> that old driver is not supporting the newer kernels anymore
[06:25] <koepi> x800
[06:25] <koepi> ati
[06:25] <koepi> 256 mb
[06:25] <soreau> koepi: Wrong. You *want* the new radeon driver
[06:25] <nit-wit> koepi, try the xswat ppa
[06:25] <bonjoyee> WhatToDo: but its worth a try..
[06:25] <WhatToDo> bonjoyee: then ill go for it. what do i do?
[06:26] <soreau> koepi: It should work OOTB and in 11.04, gallium will be the default (means even better 3D)
[06:26] <koepi> thank you
[06:26] <koepi> I am not really into these shortcuts
[06:26] <koepi> OOTB and xswat?
[06:26] <bonjoyee> WhatToDo: if  you use ethernet. keep the cable unplugged during the install
[06:26] <nit-wit> koepi, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[06:26] <koepi> thank you
[06:26] <soreau> koepi: fglrx no longer supports your card but the default driver in ubuntu is quite capable now. OOTB = out of the box
[06:26] <WhatToDo> bonjoyee: oh ok
[06:27] <koepi> it is working for sure, but not with a 10th of the same performance
[06:27] <nit-wit> soreau, yeah I'm using the generic with a ati
[06:27] <WhatToDo> god this computer
[06:27] <soreau> koepi: Upgrade to the very latest ubuntu and kernel you can to get the best performance
[06:28] <soreau> nit-wit: It's not generic. It's Radeon.
[06:28] <nit-wit> soreau, I have a dell with a old radeon, but I just use it for basic use
[06:29] <koepi> when I use 9.10 I have about 300 fps vial glxgears and at 10.04 I have about 50
[06:29] <koepi> I will check the launchpad
[06:29] <koepi> but thanks anyways
[06:30] <soreau> nit-wit: The 9550-x1900 series cards will run at top performance starting in 11.04 since the gallium driver is now default (meaning opengl2.1 greatness, OSS style)
[06:31] <bonjoyee> koepi: using compiz?  tried disabling kms?
[06:31] <nit-wit> soreau, I had heard that i will have to look at my card on the dell
[06:31] <koepi> I guess there is another way, though I met some who had the same problem with no results
[06:32] <potiphera> If anyone knows about GRUB, encrypted filesystems, and "no init found" errors, could they please read my forum thread and tell me if there's any way to get my system to boot that I haven't tried already?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631203
[06:32] <soreau> nit-wit: The HDxxxx series will likely be running very well in future versions of ubuntu with the open radeon driver too
[06:33] <soreau> Can't wait to see some youtube of eyefinity with 6 monitors on radeon open driver running compiz
[06:33] <Champ> http://pastebin.com/d0giZZJH
[06:33] <Champ> from results.txt
[06:33] <nit-wit> soreau, yeah I never use the dell it is a inspiron 4100 kind of old, a backup. It started working again in Maverick.

[06:41] <nit-wit> Champ, do hyou know the out of the bios boot from menu key prompt
[06:41] <soreau> nathan777: Can you see the network icon in the notification area?
[06:41] <nit-wit> *yiu
[06:41] <nit-wit> *you
[06:41] <Champ> hmm
[06:41] <Champ> no
[06:41] <nathan777> soreau: yes and the wireless card is listed under lspci
[06:41] <vinok> bonjoyee, yes i did and answer yes to all of the questions and save it after it finished scanning
[06:41] <nit-wit> Champ, so mine is f1q2 what is your computer model
[06:41] <WhatToDo> my computer isnt frozen though, i can still click on sound and network connections... the screen wont move though
[06:41] <soreau> nathan777: So what's the problem?
[06:41] <nit-wit> *f12
[06:41] <Champ> I know when I start up, esc goes into a menu where I can access bios from there
[06:42] <Maxeetoh> wiiiii
[06:42] <Champ> but that isnt my main bios key and i cant think of it
[06:42] <nathan777> soreau: theres no wifi option
[06:42] <nit-wit> Champ, we want a out of the bios menu
[06:42] <Champ> huh? :S
[06:42] <Champ> soryr
[06:42] <bonjoyee> vinok: saved the modules to be loaded on startup? and rebooted since?
[06:42] <Champ> sorry
[06:42] <koepi> soreau: it is done : http://wwww.ubuntu.pastebin.com/Sh680B2E
[06:42] <nit-wit> Champ, most don't know about this what is the computer model
[06:42] <WhatToDo> now i got an error message "Install is not responding. You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the application to quit entirely."
[06:42] <Champ> hang on
[06:42] <soreau> nathan777: Does iwconfig show a wifi iface?
[06:42] <Champ> ill get it
[06:43] <nit-wit> Champ, cool
[06:43] <Hypoglybetic> hi
[06:43] <nathan777> sireau: no
[06:43] <ali_> s
[06:43] <ali_> hi
[06:43] <vinok> bonjoyee, yup, i rebooted. then installed sensors-applet from synaptics, added it to my panel. it can detect the CPU and GPU temp but not the fan anymore. it's really strange.
[06:44] <Hypoglybetic> ali_ are you familiar with GRUB ?
[06:44] <bonjoyee> WhatToDo: at what stage of install?
[06:44] <Champ> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[06:44] <soreau> koepi: The problem is lines 71-74. That means the fglrx glx module is installed
[06:44] <Champ> best buy fuuuuuu
[06:44] <nit-wit> Hypoglybetic, whats the problem  missed it
[06:44] <koepi> ok
[06:44] <bonjoyee> vinok: whats the output of sensors?
[06:44] <Alan502> !ping
[06:44] <koepi> I understand that
[06:44] <koepi> thats not my problem generally
[06:44] <WhatToDo> bonjoyee: before the actual install even started and before i could select how to deal with my hard drive and partitions
[06:44] <koepi> I have two drivers installed
[06:44] <Maxeetoh> i think i have the same problem u.u only boot ubuntu :P
[06:45] <nit-wit> Champ, is it a HO acer thats really all I need to know
[06:45] <Hypoglybetic> nit-wit, I've been having a hellish time installing Ub Server 10.10 -- Is GRUB a good thing to have or useless or what? Ub will be my only OS (or only Host OS)
[06:45] <soreau> koepi: So you need to get rid of fglrx depending on how you installed it
[06:45] <Champ> no its an HP
[06:45] <koepi> yea
[06:45] <koepi> would not change my performance with any driver I got
[06:46] <nit-wit> Hypoglybetic, you will need grub or lilo, whats happening
[06:46] <nit-wit> Champ, hold on
[06:46] <Champ> ok
[06:46] <soreau> koepi: See 'dpkg -l|grep fglrx' and remove all packages and if you used the installer from ati, look for an uninstall script in /usr/share/ati/ . Then reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri then reboot
[06:47] <koepi> thank you
[06:47] <vinok> bonjoyee, what do you mean by the output? are you referring to sensors-applet (GUI) in my panel? if yes, in the preferences part it shows 4 categories. libsensors, acpi, hddtemp, nvidia. thats all in 10.4 it also shows fan category
[06:47] <Hypoglybetic> Nit-wit I am just running into one small bug after another.  The last installation gave me a GRUB rescue error and I couldn't do anything.  So if Grub wasn't required I wasn't going to go with it.  I'm a super newbie.
[06:47] <ali_> How can update ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10
[06:47] <soreau> ali_: very carefully
[06:47] <nit-wit> Champ, try booting and hit the f9 key
[06:47] <Champ> ok, sec
[06:48] <bonjoyee> vinok: run "sensors" in a terminal...and paste the output on pastebin
[06:48] <nathan777> soreau: so i had both a usb and the pci because the usb was picking up a better signal and now both of them stopped working and theres no wifi option
[06:48] <soreau> nathan777: What chipset is the PCI card?
[06:48] <earwigs> Hypoglybetic: weird, havent had a single bug yet
[06:49] <nit-wit> Hypoglybetic, I use a script to analyze this sort of stuff you can boot a live cd with a desktop and run it
[06:49] <taiyal> My computer just recently stopped recognising my external USB hard drive and my USB card reader (both storage devices), but still recognizes the mouse when it's plugged into the same ports. Also, plugging in the non-recognised storage devices doesn't make anything appear in dmesg. What could be the problem?
[06:49] <Champ> It went to change boot device
[06:49] <milamber> !upgrade | ali_
[06:49] <bonjoyee> WhatToDo: try some options in F6 menu..on the install startup screen..if that makes any difference
[06:49] <nathan777> soreau: im not sure whats the chipset is but the cards a netgear wg 3111t
[06:49] <nit-wit> Champ, did you get the menu boot from
[06:49] <WhatToDo> bonjoyee: just mess with them and see what happens?
[06:49] <soreau> nathan777: Install the PCI card then run 'lspci' and tell us what chipset it actually is exactly
[06:50] <Champ> I got the what device you want to boot from menu
[06:50] <bonjoyee> WhatToDo: they are failsafe..wont hurt..
[06:50] <vinok> bonjoyee, http://pastebin.com/qm0bnKu8 here it is
[06:50] <taiyal> lsusb also shows no change when I plug in the affected devices
[06:50] <Champ> so i guess so
[06:50] <nit-wit> Champ, is it booting now
[06:50] <Champ> sec
[06:50] <taiyal> My computer just recently stopped recognising my external USB hard drive and my USB card reader (both storage devices), but still recognizes the mouse when it's plugged into the same ports. Also, plugging in the non-recognised storage devices doesn't make anything appear in dmesg. What could be the problem?
[06:50] <nathan777> soreau its vt6102
[06:51] <Hypoglybetic> nit-wit If I run into another system failure I will take you up on that offer.  But I think this one might be stable. I'm trying to setup a media server / virtual host.
[06:51] <nit-wit> Hypoglybetic, alright do you want a link to the script
[06:51] <soreau> nathan777: That's not enough information
[06:52] <Hypoglybetic> sure, does it come with monkey instructions? Because I don't know much (for now).
[06:52] <nathan777> soreau: via technologies inc vt6102 rhine-II rev 74
[06:52] <ali_> Please Answer How can update ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10
[06:52] <milamber> !upgrade | ali_ already answered
[06:53] <Champ> well no I went to the which boot device to boot from menu and just sat there didnt know which to choose (I have chosen them all before and none worked) so I turned off my comp and restarted so now im waiting to see what it boots to
[06:53] <nit-wit> Hypoglybetic, no monkey instructions lol but the first line tells you where grub is pointed to boot.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[06:53] <i_is_broke> ali_, try going into the repos and changing the settings from lts to normal release and update
[06:53] <soreau> nathan777: See if the last post here helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=522260
[06:53] <paipimenta> I'm reading an article about Sun's lack of community around OpenSolaris, and the author refers to a "kernel.org vs. Ubuntu" fight.... http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2008/04/19/what-sun-was-trying-to-do-with-open-solaris/
[06:53] <paipimenta> what is he talking about?
[06:53] <nathan777> soreau and now when i plug in the usb the light that says it has power flashes on then after about a sec turns off when it used to be a steady green
[06:54] <nit-wit> Champ, I wonder if not knowing the USB is the problem the script looks as if it should boot. I see no internal HD though
[06:54] <splazo> Anyone else had a problem with overzealous power management? I've set power management to put computer to sleep when inactive for never, but the darned thing still keeps powering down my wireless card every half hour or so. Is there something I have to adjust other than Control Center -> Power Management?
[06:54] <rww> paipimenta: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic. distro politics aren't on-topic here.
[06:54] <Champ> hmm
[06:54] <paipimenta> rww: thanks
[06:54] <ali_> thank ubottu
[06:54] <Champ> so you mean my computer might not recognise the usb?
[06:55] <nit-wit> Champ, is the internal still there and plugged in
[06:55] <bonjoyee> vinok: run "sudo sensors-detect" once again the paste all the output on pastebin
[06:55] <ali_> salam bar va bache irani
[06:55] <soreau> nathan777: In general, always assume that device LED's are completely meaningless
[06:55] <Champ> internal is still there. you think its trying to bot from it when it cant?
[06:55] <WhatToDo> When I try to install Ubuntu 10.10, the install application freezes before the actual install even begins. I have tried several CDs. How can i make the install work?
[06:55] <Champ> bot = boot*
[06:55] <nit-wit> Champ, if only a year old it should there may be a on off switch in bios hard to say really
[06:56] <Champ> hmm lemme check brb (comps in different rooms so running around back and forth lol)
[06:56] <nit-wit> Champ, the internal doesn't even show in the script which is strange
[06:56] <splazo> WhatTODo: sounds like you don't have enough RAM to run the live CD.
[06:56] <xaq> hello all, i have made a huge noob mistake and i would really like to know if there is any coming back from it...
[06:56] <WhatToDo> splazo: I successfully installed it two days ago
[06:57] <splazo> Guess not then
[06:57] <WhatToDo> And the liveCD runs fine without installing
[06:57] <WhatToDo> thanks though
[06:57] <splazo> WhatToDo: where does it hang?
[06:57] <milamber> splazo: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
[06:57] <vinok> bonjoyee, ok 1 sec
[06:58] <WhatToDo> splazo: the second screen after you select a language
[06:58] <WhatToDo> as soon as i click forward on the download updates while installinfg page
[06:58] <zezu> packages installed through apt directly, or through software center / synaptic are all not adding themselves to the panel menus anymore ... at least not the last few ,, anyone know what causes this ?
[06:59] <Champ> well it is messed up and disabling something in bios has made it so i don here a noise as if the int hdd is struggling to boot (which it doesnt in the end)
[06:59] <soreau> WhatToDo: I think it's either a bug (try (dis)connecting to the internet) or just a bad disk
[06:59] <splazo> limamber: Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :
[06:59] <splazo>     SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
[07:00] <WhatToDo> soreau: ive tried disconnecting from the internet and three disks
[07:00] <Champ> and I get a blank screen for a long time before anyrthing happens really
[07:00] <soreau> WhatToDo: And they all fail in the exact same place?
[07:00] <ali_> see you my friend thank for help me
[07:01] <vinok> bonjoyee, here it is http://pastebin.com/0aYnshCK i'll just reboot again to see if anything changes brb. thanks bonjoyee

[07:01] <milamber> splazo: and post the output please
[07:01] <Idol_Mind> i'm having trouble backing up information from one install to another. I backed up the defaults with Simple Backup, but when I go to restore them on the new drive, it doesn't restore everything. I have to select each file to restore. Am I missing an option to restore it all?

[07:02] <FloodBot3> Maxeetoh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:02] <Maxeetoh> ups
[07:02] <twiztid> so what whould i do to increase the io blksize so when i access my windows share, the directories arent empty!?!?!
[07:02] <soreau> WhatToDo: Strange. Have you tried any other distro / OS?
[07:03] <van7hu> hi all, could anyone tell me where is the problem in my makefile ?, since it only does with makefile in $(lib_display) and exit
[07:03] <van7hu> u.com/552359/
[07:03] <WhatToDo> WhatToDo: not yet...long story short I tried XP on a CD and it worked fine, Vista and Windows 7 on DVDs and my drive wouldnt recognize them even though I burned them. And that's about it
[07:03] <van7hu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/552359/
[07:04] <splazo> milamember: 0a:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[07:04] <nit-wit> Champ, I notice that the external is a ext3 is this a new install
[07:04] <soreau> ! broadcom | splazo
[07:04] <Champ> yes new install
[07:04] <Champ> i did it today
[07:04] <twiztid> basically, after countless hours of permantly mounting my windows share, i go to browse and the directories are empty! and the only files that DO exist (like .mp3)   wont save or play because it say i dont have permission... but i gave full read/write permissions both server side and in fstab
[07:05] <nit-wit> Champ, do you have anything else plugged i like the thumb when trying to boot. It should be a ext4 as well, not the problem though
[07:05] <nit-wit> *in
[07:05] <splazo> not a big fan of the b43 card either, but it's hard to avoid the things.
[07:06] <Champ> i have my PENDRIVE and my ext HDD
[07:06] <Champ> that is all that is plugged in
[07:06] <kozik> my touchpad has issues with staying dead. ive installed gsynaptics AND pointing devices AND edited xorg.conf and it still wont stay dead once i start typing
[07:06] <WhatToDo> sorry about that, crazy lag. im back
[07:06] <nit-wit> Champ, the pendrive can be booted unplug it and try the external
[07:06] <Champ> ok sec
[07:07] <Champ> does the differnt USB ports make a difference?
[07:07] <WhatToDo> soreau: everything worked great until earlier today and none of my programs would open so i went for a quick reboot and it wouldnt reboot properl
[07:07] <WhatToDo> y
[07:07] <Alan502> ahh somebody help me with ICS! PLEASE! I feel like i'm gonna puke because of not finding a solution XD
[07:07] <Champ> in anything?
[07:07] <nit-wit> Champ, something is going on though when the internal HD doesn't show
[07:07] <splazo> The thing used to behave better before this install. Running 2.6.31-11-rt #154-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT.
[07:07] <WhatToDo> and so i went to a liveCD and now it wont boot anything from the hdd
[07:07] <Champ> hm
[07:07] <Champ> lemme see brb
[07:07] <milamber> WhatToDo: i know you have been at this for hours, but how old is the computer?
[07:07] <xiambax> When making a usb key following the instructions on ubuntu.com for mac
[07:08] <xiambax> it doesnt make they key bootable
[07:08] <xiambax> Whats up with that
[07:08] <Idol_Mind> can someone point me in the right direction in migrating my install to a SMALLER drive?
[07:08] <WhatToDo> milamber: i bought it used yesterday at a "yard sale" of sorts. I would guess a couple of years
[07:08] <WhatToDo> It's an HP Pavilion dv5000
[07:08] <van7hu> hi all,what do you use to do make recursively in many directories ?
[07:09] <kozik> no one knows how to kill my touchpad so it stays dead?
[07:09] <soreau> WhatToDo: Sounds like it might be a hardware issue. The PSU is prime suspect followed by possible drive failure
[07:09] <splazo> kozik: should just be a button on your key pad that turns it off
[07:09] <milamber> WhatToDo: not to insult, but you are burning live cds right, not dvds?
[07:09] <kozik> if only
[07:09] <WhatToDo> milamber: no insult taken, but yes they're cds
[07:09] <timClicks> My laptop's brightness wont change - this is a regression from previous versions of ubuntu. Where should I look to investigate the problem?
[07:10] <splazo> kozik: mine's a glyph of a hand sticking out its index finger
[07:10] <WhatToDo> soreau: i hope it isnt because i literally just bought it and everything was working just fine until a few hours ago
[07:10] <splazo> right under  f7
[07:10] <BlueFish_> If there is anyone in here that know how to program in php and could give me some advise where to start "what book can i buy to get started" please let me know
[07:11] <soreau> WhatToDo: If you don't have any spare parts or another pc to test with, your only option might be a repair shop. But first, make sure to test other OS / distro to see
[07:11] <Champ> I took out the pendrive and I kept the external in, restarted and now im waiting to see
[07:11] <splazo> kozik: sorry, fn f7 to be exact.
[07:11] <kozik> splazo mines supposed to be function f-3 but it doesnt do anything in linux
[07:11] <Champ> [01:07:11] <nit-wit> Champ, something is going on though when the internal HD doesn't show <---You man like something bad?
[07:11] <WhatToDo> soreau: i dont really care enough about this computer to repair it honestly. i bought it very cheap to play with. ill try to install something else to get it working at least
[07:12] <splazo> kozik: bummer. Tried killing it in the bios?
[07:12] <kozik> and asus is a bunch of brilliant people who didnt put a kill touchpad option in bios settings
[07:12] <milamber> WhatToDo: soreau is right. you may want to try damn small linux (small download/quick load time).
[07:12] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, have you tried booting a live USB?
[07:12] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: my computer doesnt suppord booting from a USB
[07:12] <WhatToDo> milamber: sort of like puppylinux?
[07:12] <earwigs> <3 ubuntu
[07:13] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, ouch, ok.. how did the memtest go?
[07:13] <soreau> WhatToDo: DSL has a smaller footprint if I'm not mistaken
[07:13] <nit-wit> Champ, I don't know  but the HD should show in the script
[07:13] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: i ran a memtest and a disk check with no errors on either
[07:13] <milamber> WhatToDo: yes that is another good option.
[07:13] <WhatToDo> soreau: ill download it now then
[07:13] <quintopia> any ideas why a microSD card connected via USB card reader might unmount itself always and only when i try to copy files *to* it?
[07:13] <Alan502> ahh somebody help me with ICS! PLEASE! I feel like i'm gonna puke because of not finding a solution XD
[07:13] <kozik> splazo, no option in bios that i see unless theres some magic button i havent pressed yet
[07:14] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, and it fails to boot from HDD or CD?
[07:14] <soreau> Alan502: Try #networking
[07:14] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: Well it fails to boot from HDD, but I think I might've wiped it in GParted. However, it boots from a live CD of 10.10, but not 10.04. It does fail to install 10.10
[07:14] <nit-wit> Champ, you can boot the thumb correct
[07:15] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, does it freeze during keyboard mapping selection during install?
[07:15] <Champ> it takes quite a while but with the thumb and ext hdd in there yes
[07:15] <Champ> it sits at a blank screen forever
[07:15] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: Earlier, right after i select language. Second Screen
[07:15] <Champ> before it decides t boot
[07:16] <vinok> bonjoyee, back still the same..
[07:16] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, I've had this issue before. What type of HDD? IDE or SATA?
[07:16] <Inumedia> What's a good equivalent to MSN for Lucid?
[07:16] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: I think IDE
[07:16] <soreau> Inumedia: pidgen
[07:16] <EvilSushi> the msn messenger?
[07:16] <Inumedia> Ew not pidgen D:
[07:16] <Kartagis> !find mp3splt
[07:16] <bonjoyee> vinok: its not loading a driver for your super IO chip..thats the cause
[07:16] <EvilSushi> I like bitlbee
[07:16] <kozik> inumedia you can try empathy
[07:17] <Inumedia> I have empathy, it's not very good
[07:17] <EvilSushi> Inumedia: try bitlbee
[07:17] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, You might have some luck (if it is SATA) to change the IDE mode from IDE to AHCI (or reverse) and try again. I had a heck of a time getting 10.04/10.10 to install on my HP dv5500 because of that
[07:17] <t-flo> evening all.. I am attempting to burn a 1.2gb AVI to a DVD with brasero. When it is set to data DVD, it works fine. When it is set to video, it says that there isn't enough free space on the disc. Can somebody explain?
[07:17] <quintopia> i agree with EvilSushi
[07:17] <kozik> is there still gaim? you could try that
[07:17] <EvilSushi> gaim is pidgeon.
[07:17] <quintopia> *pidgin
[07:17] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: did that fix it? and if so, how do i do that?
[07:17] <Champ> So is there anything i should do?
[07:17] <EvilSushi> same project new name
[07:17] <quintopia> and pidgin is libpurple
[07:17] <becket> есть русские... помогите!
[07:17] <vinok> bonjoyee, thanks, so what should i do to make it load? is there a way?
[07:18] <soreau> t-flo: Try devede to create an iso, then burn the iso to disc
[07:18] <Myrtti> !ru | becket
[07:18] <nit-wit> Champ, be sure to tab my nick
[07:18] <Champ> ok for highlight i get it :)
[07:18] <kozik> yes i know, but they look a little different. if inumedia is looking for cosmetics
[07:18] <Inumedia> I'm not a fan of empathy, although it's not terrible
[07:18] <nit-wit> Champ, so you ran the script how did you get to a Ubuntu desktop
[07:18] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, It did for me.. took a couple tries... but go into BIOS and there should be an option for RAID mode or IDE mode that will be either IDE, RAID, or AHCI.. trying swapping to/from AHCI mode
[07:18] <t-flo> soreau: devede? Will the iso it makes be playable in a DVD player? That's why I don't want a data disc.
[07:18] <Inumedia> I didn't care much for pidgin either
[07:19] <soreau> t-flo: Yes, that is the whole idea of devede
[07:19] <soreau> ~info devede
[07:19] <soreau> !info devede
[07:19] <kozik> why? cosmetics?
[07:19] <EvilSushi> pidgin is nice ootb OTR support, emapthy lacks this.
[07:19] <Champ> nit-wit, i put in the pendrive and ext hdd and i restarted and let it boot on its own
[07:19] <kozik> im not a fan of empathy
[07:19] <Champ> nit-wit, it takes a while but it works in the end
[07:19] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, There isn't an SD card reader on yours is there? If so, ensure a fake SD card isn't inserted into it
[07:19] <quintopia> oh well
[07:19] <nit-wit> Champ, do you know how to reload grub2
[07:19] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: The only Hard Drive related task in my BIOS is to test it
[07:20] <Champ> nit-wit, dont even know what it is :S
[07:20] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, what about drive order/ide master/slave?
[07:20] <bonjoyee> vinok: did it work in 10.04?
[07:20] <t-flo> soreau: thanks! apt-getting right now
[07:21] <kozik> ok, can i ask if ive edited xorg.conf and ive installed synaptics and pointing devices and i dont see an option in the bios...... is there another perminant (non hammer way) to kill the touchpad
[07:21] <soreau> t-flo: It takes some time to encode but after you get the hang of it, the actual burning becomes the easy part
[07:21] <nit-wit> Champ, here is a link to look at it is only two commands with a sudo fdisk- l first to identify the ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202
[07:21] <kozik> like for good
[07:21] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: there is an sd slot, but nothing in it. nothing about drive order either
[07:21] <Guest40136> what sud i do for this error....(There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.)
[07:21] <celestial> hi everyone this might be a newbie question and has probally been asked before but is there really any other differences in linux distros other than package management and packages included?
[07:21] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, k, lemme find mine and look at BIOS, yours is a laptop, right?
[07:22] <kozik> celestial, yeah
[07:22] <soreau> t-flo: and fyi: to open a dvd iso image file, just use totem /path/to/dvd.iso
[07:22] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: yup
[07:22] <celestial> what are they kozik just curious

[07:23] <nit-wit> Champ, does that link make sense to you
[07:23] <vinok> bonjoyee, yeah it did. but only for monitoring. anyways if it can't be done its ok. when i check the fan physically it is working but guess no monitoring for me in 10.10. anyways thanks bonjoyee for enlightening me.
[07:23] <Champ> nit-wit, lemme look at it :)
[07:23] <vinok> bonjoyee, thanks
[07:23] <Katsumi32> hi i have question to burn ubuntu iso to usb i can use unebotin or lili etc but what software i can use to burn windows iso to usb any advice ?
[07:23] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, Have you looked to see if the BIOS version is current?
[07:24] <kozik> celestial, organization. some distros stick things in different folders, and use different commands (note, especially for installing) such as in ubuntu its sudo apt-get
[07:24] <nit-wit> Champ, ask any questions if needed
[07:24] <lazarus_> morning all
[07:24] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: I havent really done anything with the bios
[07:24] <Champ> nit-wit, ok thanks :)
[07:24] <AbhiJit> Katsumi32, ##windows
[07:24] <kozik> i think ubuntu is the easiest one to use
[07:24] <nit-wit> Champ, thats the way we roll
[07:24] <Champ> heh
[07:24] <Katsumi32> AbhiJit, hahahhaha they dont know i asked there many times :)
[07:24] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, Well, give that a shot... see if you can download and upgrade the BIOS firmware
[07:24] <shawn146_> help plz
[07:25] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: alright
[07:25] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, After that, you should be able to change AHCI mode and ACPI
[07:25] <bonjoyee> vinok: as the last bet..you could add the module that worked in 10.04..to /etc/modules in 10.10..not sure it will work though!
[07:25] <shawn146_> i cannot access my folder bash: cd: lib: Permission denied  on my CF card
[07:25] <WhatToDo> well its too late for me, ill give that a shot and then im going to bed
[07:25] <shawn146_> in terminal
[07:25] <AbhiJit> Katsumi32, this is ubuntu channel for ubuntu help only. not for windows help
[07:25] <shawn146_> how do i get in?
[07:25] <celestial> thanks for the info i was just curious it seem though theres minor differences everything else is virtually the same between distros is that right to expevt?
[07:25] <WhatToDo> Katsumi32: i feel you, ##windows isnt very helpful ever
[07:25] <Champ> nit-wit, but I have no windows at all on my computer, just ubuntu so does it still apply to me?
[07:26] <AbhiJit> WhatToDo, start using linux! :p
[07:26] <Katsumi32> AbhiJit, i know it is ubuntu supprt :) i used this channel since 1980
[07:26] <shawn146_> wow...everybody is ignoring me in every channel i ask.....
[07:26] <killown> do anyone here knows a way to save nvidia-settings?
[07:26] <vinok> bonjoyee, yeah i think thats a good idea. i'll try that one a bit later and let u know.
[07:26] <nit-wit> Champ, there is a chance that the grub just didn't load into the mbr master boot record correctly
[07:26] <WhatToDo> AbhiJit: I have ubuntu on my laptop...or at least im trying to get it back on my laptop
[07:26] <AbhiJit> Katsumi32, ?
[07:26] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, Hey, in BIOS is there a screen called IDE Configuration?
[07:26] <AbhiJit> 1980?
[07:26] <killown> .nvidia-settings-rc is not working for me
[07:26] <AbhiJit> mark shuttelworth born then?
[07:26] <Champ> nit-wit, oh ok, still readin through :)
[07:26] <kozik> more or less. some distros are kde centric, (which is more windows like) and some are more gnome friendly (which is more like classic mac)
[07:27] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: Nope
[07:27] <WhatToDo> Can I install DSL or just run it from a live CD?
[07:27] <nit-wit> Champ just the first couple of lines in the section marked 12 reinstalling grub2
[07:28] <Katsumi32> AbhiJit, i know #ubuntu is for ubuntu only and i use ubuntu but need to burn windows to usb and i cant find the roght software to do that so thats why i asked here i tried on #windows but they dont really know
[07:28] <asadr> How do I set a umask for SSH so that it works for non-interactive connections as well
[07:28] <AbhiJit> Katsumi32, its okkkk
[07:28] <Idol_Mind> Hmm, your BIOS must be pretty old... on mine I've got "Configure SATA As (Standard IDE, AHCI, or RAID), ALPE and ASP, IDE Detect Time Out (Sec)" options
[07:28] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: yeah i have nothing like that
[07:29] <kozik> if i go into xorg.conf and i change it to touchpad catchall "off" why does it kill the keyboard and mouse, too?
[07:29] <celestial> one last question kozik i know every linux distro uses the same kernel and many drivers come included in it is that another difference as well that distros add extra drivers that arnt included in the kernel which makes them able to support more iff you get what im asking
[07:29] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, Aight, give it a shot...
[07:30] <piosalan> If I did a "mkfs -t fat /dev/sda" on my hard drive is there any hope of retrieving any data from it?
[07:30] <Idol_Mind> can someone point me in the right direction in migrating my install to a SMALLER drive? 640GB to 80GB SSD
[07:30] <kozik> celestial: not sure i understand
[07:30] <splazo> Katsumi32: why burn the iso? Just format the usb with ntfs, set active and extract the files from the iso. It'll boot after that. I've done it lots.
[07:30] <kozik> are you asking which one has better support?
[07:31] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: noob question: how do i update the BIOS
[07:31] <shawn146_> good night damnit -_-
[07:32] <koepi> soreau : fglrx and xorg ( mesa-utils ) is deinstalled now. which driver do you want me to install now?
[07:32] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, Look on the bottom of the laptop for the exact model (dv5010t or some crap) and then go to hp.com's support section and search for that model number BIOS
[07:32] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, If I'm not mistaken, I do think it is an exe, which will require Winblows to patch it
[07:33] <soreau> koepi: Can you show the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'?
[07:33] <WhatToDo> rage.jpg
[07:33] <Champ> nit-wit, is it possible, (i dropped my computer by acident shortly before it crashed,) that i knocked the int hdd loose or something and my data and OS is fine i just shook the HD so much that it cant read? or am i going nuts :S
[07:34] <piosalan> Anyone---- if I did a mkfs -t fat /dev/sda on my hard drive can I tetrei
[07:34] <nit-wit> Champ, yes
[07:34] <koepi> nah
[07:34] <soreau> koepi: It's ok to leave mesa-utils installed, it's just a collection of utilities for any graphics driver
[07:34] <koepi> shouldnt work cause its deinstalled now
[07:34] <Champ> interesting
[07:34] <WhatToDo> too much work for tonight
[07:34] <piosalan> Get any of my old data off it?
[07:34] <koepi> ok
[07:34] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, would you care to continue this via msg?
[07:34] <WhatToDo> bed time, and ill continue tomorrow
[07:34] <WhatToDo> Idol_Mind: thanks for all of your help
[07:34] <Idol_Mind> WhatToDo, aight... well good luck
[07:34] <Champ> nit-wit, so what do you think i would be able to do to, maybe, put it back into place?
[07:34] <nit-wit> Champ, is it a laptop
[07:34] <Champ> yes
[07:35] <koepi> I have a little problem, cause I cannot follow your instructions directly
[07:35] <koepi> I would like to know what you suggest to install
[07:35] <nit-wit> Champ, the hd is probably removable from the outside is it
[07:35] <Champ> i have never figured a way to remove it but lemme see
[07:35] <soreau> koepi: I want to see the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'
[07:35] <EvilSushi> how do you edit the grub.cfg in grub2? root editing shows it as read only
[07:35] <soreau> koepi: Or just pastebin your current X log file
[07:36] <nit-wit> Champ, usually just a screw, but we are grasping at straws here
[07:36] <AbhiJit> EvilSushi, gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[07:36] <koepi> soreau : with mesa-utils installed I dont have a xorg.conf
[07:36] <soreau> koepi: That is fine. X log and xorg.conf are not the same thing
[07:36] <splazo> Katsumi32: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721929%28WS.10%29.aspx
[07:37] <EvilSushi> AbhiJit: not there.
[07:37] <AbhiJit> EvilSushi, what is not there?
[07:37] <EvilSushi> AbhiJit: nvm
[07:37] <AbhiJit> :/
[07:39] <kehu> hi~~
[07:39] <koepi> soreau : this it is : http://wwww.ubuntu.pastebin.com/AvMijiqK
[07:40] <iulhk> using ubuntu 8.04 server, how can i verify either my xvfb (xserver) is running correctly or not ?
[07:40] <ZnaxQue> hi
[07:40] <soreau> koepi: Cool, your graphics drivers are working again. Now if you want to go to the next step, you can install xorg-edgers and mesa experimental packages to get gallium working
[07:41] <koepi> thanks a lot, soreau
[07:41] <Cpt_Zyph> guys im stuck, i have ubuntu netbook ed and in trying to setup evolution i cant see the windows enough on this dell mini to see the forward buttons etc etc.. is there something ican do to tweke the windows so they fit correctly?
[07:42] <glaceman> hi guys
[07:42] <ZnaxQue> hi glaceman
[07:42] <glaceman> how to i install a program after i added a PPA ?
[07:42] <soreau> glaceman: apt-get update then apt-cache search for the program you want
[07:42] <nit-wit> glaceman, sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install package name
[07:42] <AbhiJit> glaceman, 1st do sudo apt-get update
[07:42] <AbhiJit> yeah
[07:43] <glaceman> thanks guys
[07:43] <koepi> soreau : am I leading to that point where I will be deactivating KMS?
[07:43] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: unmaximize the screen?
[07:43] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: the netbooks have a resolution problem somtimes
[07:43] <Cpt_Zyph> mkquist i tried that
[07:43] <soreau> koepi: No no, you want kms. It makes gallium feasible
[07:43] <koepi> ok
[07:44] <Cpt_Zyph>  i can move it around but it wont let me resize the window adn i cant minipulate it anyway to fit *(
[07:44] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: or you can try to 'tab' thru the settings
[07:44] <Cpt_Zyph> well i think ill follow some lame guide online so i can see the windows.. this how ever isnt the first app that has had this issue *(
[07:44] <glaceman> how do i look for the package name please
[07:44] <glaceman> im trying to install handbrake
[07:44] <glaceman> i did the suo apt-get update
[07:44] <bullgard4> Maverick > Indicator Applet Session > Hibernate sometimes reports: "s2disk: Snapshotting system" with a blinkiing cursor in the next row and remains in this state. I can  type 'exit <CR>'. Maverick echoes 'exit' but I cannot see any other effect. How to continue troubleshooting?
[07:44] <Cpt_Zyph> understood on tab but i cant see were it goes so 8/
[07:44] <AbhiJit> glaceman, apt-get search <term>
[07:45] <soreau> koepi: But it helps to have a latest kernel because of the k in kms stands for, so this means you want the latest version of ubuntu or hope xorg-edgers repo installs a newer kernel for you
[07:45] <Champ> nit-wit, well I have the screws out lol
[07:45] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: not a fan of netbook edition myself, just use the normal and make due
[07:45] <Champ> what should I do?
[07:45] <Champ> heh
[07:45] <glaceman> AbhiJit: says invalid operation
[07:45] <AbhiJit> ohhh
[07:45] <AbhiJit> its apt-cache
[07:45] <AbhiJit> glaceman, ^^
[07:45] <nit-wit> Champ, it is hard to say as the thumb boots and runs so the basic hardware seems intact, but the HD is not read
[07:46] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: click on the top bar and it move you down to the rest of the screen
[07:46] <Champ> nit-wit, well im stumped :\
[07:46] <koepi> soreau : is it the xorg-edgers-noveau package I'll need?
[07:46] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: lame, but it can help
[07:47] <soreau> koepi: No, xorg-edgers is a repo. To get it all, this should work: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:47] <nit-wit> Champ, I am to really
[07:47] <Cpt_Zyph> mkquist im about to try that.. its just a crap dell mini and for the most part the stripped linux seems ot be quite fast.. also the mini netbook as a whole is a problem to use at times but im in the field so i need the portable thing
[07:47] <Idol_Mind> I installed 10.10 x64 on my SSD drive and want to copy everything from my old drive to my new drive. How can I go about it? My old drive has an encrypted home partition.
[07:47] <Cpt_Zyph> mkquist would normal ubuntu run just as fast as this netbook one ?? im not sure were to get good reviews between the 2 or speed tests
[07:48] <milamber> glaceman, Abhijit: aptitude search <packagename> or you can use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ (there is a search at the bottom)
[07:48] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: i think it does, tried the netbook ed, and didnt like it.  Run the regular desktop on my hp mini9, happy with it
[07:48] <glaceman> thanks milamber
[07:49] <AbhiJit> milamber, atitude database and apt-get database is differennt
[07:49] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: I personally dont like the netbook version
[07:49] <Cpt_Zyph> interesting... i will have to try a side by side install or something as i dotn want to take the time to back this machine up quite yet.. but i will admit the window screen rez problems are getting old..
[07:50] <Cpt_Zyph> mkquist may I ask what you found to be the major differance ... as i know this is a matter or prefferance more then anything
[07:50] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: i think the netbook edition is just 'trying' to make the most of the sceen size
[07:50] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: but i dont really find it an advantage
[07:51] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: you can always flip between the two easy enough
[07:51] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: i dont like the restrictions against a regular desktop
[07:51] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: thats what I've read anyway
[07:52] <wealan> Which edition of Linux do you prefer?
[07:52] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: I dont find speed to be a problem at all, but I did upgrade to 2 gigs or ram...
[07:52] <wealan> Ubuntu ?
[07:52] <Cpt_Zyph> i hear ya... thanks for the input man im going to log out for a few before work and find a portable disk rom to bring.. unless i can find a usb install of ubuntu regular
[07:52] <mkquist> wealan: ur in an Ubuntu channel, sooo
[07:52] <Cpt_Zyph> i know fedora has one but im not sure if ubuntu has one as well..
[07:53] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: of course, it, the usb or disc version, will feel slower
[07:54] <AbhiJit> wealan, what you expect from linux? we have specialized distro
[07:54] <Cpt_Zyph> mkquist is there a usb bootable install??
[07:54] <Idol_Mind> Is there an easy way to copy my /home directory to a tar and copy it to a new drive?
[07:54] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: yes
[07:54] <glaceman> can anybody please give me a program to rip dvd's to avi with subtitle support
[07:54] <mkquist> Cpt_Zyph: im assuming you mean Ubuntu btw
[07:54] <Cpt_Zyph> rgr ill go look athat up as im being lazy adn dont want to dig up a external disk drive to use a cd release
[07:54] <ilyekkakai> I am trying to figure out how to make this epson printer utility work - http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/escputil.1.html - Apparently I may need to enable bidirectional communication with "CONFIG_PARPORT_1284" but I have no idea where to find this setting to check if it is on or not... can anyone help me find this setting?
[07:54] <glaceman> cause that handbrake worst @#$@#
[07:54] <Cpt_Zyph> mkquist correct
[07:54] <wealan> I am now trying Ubuntu
[07:55] <AbhiJit> Idol_Mind, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[07:55] <koepi> soreau : I made every command you gave me and there were no errors
[07:55] <wealan> red hat used before
[07:55] <koepi> soreau : but its still the same performance
[07:56] <splazo> cpt_zyph: the iso images are dual purpose jobs that can write a usb image also
[07:56] <AbhiJit> glaceman, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?s=dvd+ripping
[07:56] <soreau> koepi: You have to reboot
[07:56] <AbhiJit> !manual | wealan
[07:56] <koepi> fuck
[07:56] <Cpt_Zyph> splazo really...i was nto aware of that ill google hwo to make a usb ubuntu release and ill go download the iso file again
[07:56] <wealan> thanks
[07:57] <milamber> AbhiJit: http://www.andrewault.net/2010/05/03/aptitude-vs-apt-get-comparison-2/         and they work from the same repos
[07:57] <earwigs> wealan: ubuntus pretty well layed out, you should be able to learn it while playing around and do some basic googeling
[07:57] <AbhiJit> :o
[07:57] <syol> lol
[07:57] <AbhiJit> you still stuck there?
[07:57] <AbhiJit> milamber, :OP
[07:57] <wealan> exciting!
[07:57] <AbhiJit> milamber, thnx btw
[07:57] <Idol_Mind> AbhiJit, Is this a 1:1 copy?
[07:57] <soreau> ! language | koepi
[07:58] <earwigs> wealan: have you installed ubuntu yet?
[07:58] <AbhiJit> Idol_Mind, i think so read it carefully.
[07:58] <wealan> already
[07:58] <milamber> AbhiJit: doesn't really matter - synaptic apt/aptitude are gone after 10.10 i believe
[07:58] <Idol_Mind> AbhiJit, Ok, I'll give it a shot... Do you know if this will play nice with an encrypted home folder?
[07:59] <earwigs> wealan: is there anything you wish it did but cant work out how to do it?
[07:59] <splazo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[07:59] <AbhiJit> milamber, yah
[08:00] <AbhiJit> Idol_Mind, i never tried that method. dont blindly follow the insttuctions and in any case it may damage your data. read it carefully. i am not sure about encrypted folder
[08:00] <wealan> yes ,something i met not so smooth like XP
[08:00] <earwigs> wealan: ?
[08:00] <AbhiJit> wealan, http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm]

[08:01] <wealan> devices need to set
[08:02] <earwigs> wealan: so you cant get some of your devices to work under ubuntu?
[08:03] <Karen_m> hello, I have 2 ubuntu machines that I want to be able to share files between.  Which method should I use?  ftp/samba?   What does the ubuntu community use?
[08:04] <wealan> i have installed it on a notebook,and it work well
[08:05] <wealan> but a Desktop not so lucky
[08:05] <dekita> I used dpkg -i to install package but had to hard exit during the install
[08:05] <wealan> maybe
[08:05] <dekita> now all dpkg -i attempts give the error "Another server is running the configuration process. Sleeping for 5 seconds...."
[08:05] <milamber> Karen-m: are they on the same network?
[08:05] <Karen_m> yes
[08:05] <dekita> any ideas how to fix it?
[08:06] <earwigs> I spent the weekend thinking I had a nasty big memory leak in ubuntu... turns out it was the CPU underclocking itself because of the crazy heat.
[08:06] <milamber> Karen_m: right click, share folder should work and install everything you need (usually a samba solution)
[08:06] <earwigs> time to check the thermal paste
[08:07] <Karen_m> on a livecd, if you logout, what is the login/pass?
[08:07] <milamber> Karen_m: 10.10?
[08:08] <Karen_m> ah it's ubuntu with no pass :)
[08:09] <gusg> Anyone recommend a tool to extract pages from a PDF and typewrite on some pages?

[08:11] <nit-wit> skpl, it is before the desktop probably

[08:29] <bullgard4> Guest15794: You are required to cite the error message completely.
[08:30] <Guest15794> bullgard4, this is error msg(((There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.)))
[08:32] <ebra> hello
[08:32] <bullgard4> Guest15794: So to me it is clear what you should do next: i.) Please report the error in Launchpad. ii.) Try to install wine anew.
[08:32] <ebra> ubuntu 10.04 question
[08:33] <milamber> Guest15794: did wine install succeed?
[08:33] <ebra> where is my ip address which gave to me by the isp is stored
[08:34] <splazo> ebra: ifconfig -a
[08:34] <milamber> ebra: at the terminal type: ifconfig        or go to www.whatismyip.com
[08:34] <bullgard4> ebra: Your English is not well understood. Say it in other words, please.
[08:34] <Guest15794> milamber,  no some kind of mscore font was unable to install
[08:34] <milamber> Guest15794: what version of ubuntu?
[08:34] <Guest15794> 10.10
[08:35] <Guest15794> milamber, 10.10
[08:35] <ebra> splazo i don't wanna it through ifconfig
[08:35] <jhattara> i'm going to install an Ubuntu (probably 10.04 LTS) webserver, and I would like to know if someone has experience with any of the virtualization software: basically installing the actual webserver as a virtual machine ?
[08:35] <Syria> Hi, can I connect the lcd screen to an ubuntu virtual machine? I am using virtual box. and the lcd screen is not detected on the virtual machine.
[08:35] <ebra> bullgrad4, i need the file in which the ip address is stored
[08:36] <milamber> Guest15794: can you open the software center and search for 'bad' packages?
[08:37] <MrAnthrope> Syria, virtualbox uses its own graphics drivers so there shouldn't be any extra steps if your monitor is working in Linux.
[08:37] <bullgard4> ebra: I believe it is stored in the kernel.
[08:38] <rick_2047> I installed cheese and there is something on the screen but it is not clear
[08:38] <rick_2047> any pointers to that?
[08:38] <Syria> MrAnthrope when I connect my ubuntu Meerkat to the lcd screen I lose the boarders, so I wanted to do this using lucid to see if this problem can be solved.
[08:38] <ebra> bullgrad4, I knew that, but i need the file name, because i want to use it in other script
[08:38] <splazo> ebra: it's in /proc somewhere if it's a dhcp address
[08:38] <alexander0> Hi guys i have windows applicatin and i want to run it on ubuntu desktop
[08:38] <ebra> yeah it's dhcp
[08:38] <Guest15794> milamber, how to do tht
[08:38] <greppy> !wine | alexander0
[08:39] <ebra> splazo, yeah it's dhcp
[08:39] <milamber> Guest15794: give me a min, i have to load up a vm
[08:39] <Syria> I have a machine running under Lucid 10.4.1 and when I go to the software center I get use this source instead of install! what should i do please?
[08:40] <skpl> can someone tell me how to set my system so it logs me in automatically?
[08:40] <MrAnthrope> Syria, that sounds odd. :(
[08:40] <splazo> ebra: poke around in /proc/sys/net/ipv4. Should be in there somewhere.
[08:40] <nit-wit> skpl, login in the menu
[08:41] <Rypervenche> I have 2 DVD-R(W?)s that I burned a bunch of avis onto. The first one mounts fine, but the second one gives me an error, http://3.ly/9ZU5 . The syslog says this, http://pastebin.com/UVg2AEYK . Is there anyways I can get it to work? I don't want to lose the videos that I have stored on the DVD.
[08:41] <milamber> skpl: system >> administration >> login screen

[08:41] <nit-wit> skpl, menu-system-admin-login
[08:42] <ebra> splazo, i will look there and come here again
[08:42] <skpl> the problem is it doesnt show my user in the dropdown menu
[08:42] <skpl> it wont let me select a user
[08:42] <milamber> skpl: you have to hit unlock and type in your password
[08:42] <skpl> and now i cant even unlock the login menu preferences
[08:43] <skpl> when i push unlock nothing happens
[08:43] <bullgard4> ebra: Let me re-iterate: It is stored in a RAM area which is for kernel use. You need to use a program which fetches this address and shows it to you.
[08:44] <ebra> ok, bullgrad4, could you name one of these programs
[08:44] <gobbe> Rypervenche: maybe your dvd is dirty
[08:44] <splazo> ebra: ifconfig
[08:44] <gobbe> Rypervenche: or there is lot's of scratches
[08:45] <Rypervenche> gobbe: There are no scratches or anything on either of them. I have kept them in the same place since I burned them, which was about 2 years ago.
[08:45] <gobbe> Rypervenche: well, dvd is not longterm archive, as you might know
[08:46] <ebra> splazo, i knew ifconfig but i need to somehow to cut this address
[08:46] <gobbe> Rypervenche: and rw-medias are even worse in archive-usage
[08:46] <splazo> ebra: maybe I should clarify. /proc is just a virtual file system where the kernel stuff stored in RAM that bullgard4 mention can be seen.
[08:46] <Rypervenche> gobbe: Ok, so there's nothing I can do then? I should just throw it out?
[08:46] <splazo> ebra: what? It's not really up to you which IP the isp assigns you. That's their call.
[08:47] <dekita> dpkg issue fixed, was caused by a rogue postinst script..
[08:47] <r00t4rd3d> !stats
[08:47] <ebra> I used this line to cut the address from the ifconfig
[08:48] <zach32> i have a usb webcam lsusb Bus 005 Device 002: ID 8086:0630 Intel Corp. Pocket PC Camera but when i run cheese nothing happens
[08:48] <zach32> help!!!
[08:48] <ebra> splazo, i need it temporary so there is no need to them
[08:48] <Guest15794> milamber, if i try to install wine again (((END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT SOFTWARE  )))))) this information is appearing
[08:48] <splazo> ebra: by using DHCP you're saying that you'll take whatever ip address you're given. What's up? You get banned somewhere and you want back in? Use a different ethernet card then.
[08:48] <milamber> Guest15794: can you pastebin the info?
[08:49] <bullgard4> ebra: One program is "ifconfig".
[08:50] <Guest15794> milamber, its much long  like some type of agreement
[08:50] <milamber> Guest15794: yes, it actually installs msoft dlls so you have to agree to it. it seems like the install is going better this time.
[08:51] <ebra> splazo, i used this line to get the address form ifconfig: ifconfig ppp0 | grep -d : -f 2 | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \  -f 1
[08:51] <zach32> i have a usb webcam lsusb Bus 005 Device 002: ID 8086:0630 Intel Corp. Pocket PC Camera but when i run cheese nothing happens....help plz
[08:51] <bullgard4> ebra: Another method is to query http://www.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/check_ip.cgi
[08:53] <splazo> ebra: what's with all the grepping and cutting? Can't you understand the output of ifconfig? ifconfig ppp0 should do the trick. As far as changing it goes, the dhcp server on the other end assigns the IP address to your card based on the card's mac address.
[08:53] <splazo> Until the lease expires, you're stuck with the address unless you use a different card.
[08:53] <amarcolino> trying to figure out if I reinstall grub it will fix the problem with this ubuntu 8.4 fresh install. If I try to boot without the livecd I get 'disk failed', however it works by using the livecd to boot the hard disk, any suggestions on fixing this problem?
[08:54] <bullgard4> zach32: Start Cheese. Start a terminal. Unplug your USB cam. Replug. Watch the ensuing output in the terminal.
[08:54] <Gnea> amarcolino: sounds like your grub became corrupted
[08:54] <splazo> ebra: what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this arcane twiddling, anyway?
[08:54] <ebra> splazo, i don't want all ifconfig result i just need the ip in order to use it in my firewall script
[08:54] <amarcolino> Gnea: yeah that is what I thought but it is a fresh install
[08:55] <splazo> Ah. But you want to change it for some reason.
[08:55] <Gnea> amarcolino: when you installed, did you have it install grub to the MBR of the entire disk or to the partition?
[08:56] <amarcolino> Gnea: I assume the default is tp the mbr considering I didn't change any options
[08:56] <ebra> splazo, i don't want to change it , i just want to force the incoming traffic to pass through my firewall before they had been routed to the network
[08:56] <Gnea> amarcolino: are you dualbooting?
[08:57] <amarcolino> Gnea: nope
[08:57] <splazo> ebra: isn't it doing that already?
[08:57] <Gnea> !grub | amarcolino check out this first URL:
 no device founf
[08:57] <Jordan_U> amarcolino: Why did you install Ubuntu 8.04 and not 10.04?
[08:57] <zach32> found*
[08:58] <Gnea> amarcolino: I also suggest upgrading to 10.04 if you can
[08:58] <ebra> splazo, no i write the script my self so i need it
[08:58] <splazo> ebra: the usual way to accomplish that is to put 2 network cards on your firewall and put everything else on the other side of the firewall. What's the difference with your config?
[08:58] <Gnea> Jordan_U: it's probably all he had at the time
[08:58] <nmvictor> I'm on maverick, I ditched pulseaudio for ALSA and now I cant open System>Preference>Sound , I get the message [Waiting for Sound system to respond]. Please help
[08:59] <amarcolino> Jordan_U: better hardware support for this machine
[08:59] <amarcolino> Gnea: will check that link and see if just reinstalling grub will do
[08:59] <bullgard4> zach32: I appears to me that your USB cam is not suitable for your operating system. Either it is defect, or you'll need to install a special driver for your USB camera.
[09:00] <Jordan_U> amarcolino: Have you filed bug reports (and tagged them as regressions)? If you don't then the problem will likely never be fixed, and you can't use 8.04 forever :)
[09:01] <ebra> splazo, i use my pc as a router and firewall,  when i configure the client getway to the router local ip, they communicat directly with the internet
[09:01] <amarcolino> Jordan_U: By 'better hardware' support I mean the machine specs is not up to date and hardy seems like the best option
[09:01] <Gnea> Jordan_U: heh, people can and do use older versions forever. to say otherwise is to say that previous versions of ubuntu are no good for long-term operation, even if that operation isn't typical of what most people use it for. :)
 im using ubuntu 10.10 laptop hp pavilion dv6000 i also have an integrated cam in the screen that doesn't work
[09:01] <ebra> splazo, so i need the ip to set it as a variable in the iptables script
[09:02] <zach32> both work fine with windows

[09:02] <bullgard4> !sound |  nmvictor
[09:02] <upsla> Gnea: thank u.
[09:02] <Jordan_U> amarcolino: With linux using older versions of software for older hardware doesn't make much sense. If regular Ubuntu 10.04 is too slow try lubuntu 10.04.
[09:03] <Gnea> Jordan_U: we're here to help people support their choice, not to force-feed something to someone that they're clearly not going to use.
[09:03] <bullgard4> zach32: I am not familiar with hp pavilion dv6000. Try to google for "hp pavilion dv6000" and "ubuntu" and may be "web cam".
[09:04] <Jordan_U> amarcolino: As for that error, if you have a broken BIOS you may need to have one of the partitions marked "active" for it to recognise the drive as bootable.
[09:06] <splazo> ebra: I'm more of a perl guy, so you're ungainly expression isn't really how I'd pick the ip out of the ifconfig output. But does it work?
[09:07] <Jordan_U> !away > Putr|Away
[09:08] <ebra> splazo, it is work and the ip came out with the grep and cut , but the prob. is that when i try to set it as variable it just dose not work
[09:09] <Gnea> ebra: devip=`ip r | grep default | awk '{print $5}'`

[09:13] <Gnea> ebra: it's some simple shell scripting to obtain the current internet ipv4 ip
[09:14] <ebra> Gnea, thanx I will try this
[09:14] <milamber> Sophia23: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

[09:26] <Prinny> Howdy, all!
[09:27] <Prinny> I was wondering if someone here could help me out with a bit of an issue. I'm not entirely sure how to proceed with getting my sound to work on a laptop. It's a rather fresh install of Ubuntu and I've been digging through the "Debugging Sound Problems" page, but I haven't had any luck.
[09:28] <lazarus_> if im using 4gb ddr3 ram surely i don’t need a 2gb swap
[09:28] <Prinny> Isn't swap meant to be 1.5 times your RAM?
[09:29] <sugoruyo> Prinny: that's quite an old "tradition" from the time when RAM usually was somewhere between 256-768 MB
[09:29] <Prinny> Makes sense.
[09:29] <sugoruyo> in practice you may not need swap at all with 4GB
[09:30] <sugoruyo> depending on your usage and how the kernel chooses to swap stuff out
[09:31] <sugoruyo> lazarus_: however i'm not sure why you'd mind having 2gb reserved for swap, if you have 4gb DDR3 surely you can spare 2GB HDD space just to be on the safe side
[09:31] <skpl> can someone tell me why my login keyring isnt getting unlocked during login?
[09:31] <Prinny> So does anyone know of where I should proceed with the no sound issue? Any pointers?
[09:32] <Prinny> I can provide information, but
[09:32] <Prinny> i dont know what kind.
[09:32] <Jordan_U> lazarus_: Swap is also used for hibernation.
[09:32] <lazarus_> sugoruyo: i dont really mind i was just wondering
[09:33] <lazarus_> i dont hibinate
[09:33] <foss> how to install ns2 in ubuntu 2.8 using sudo apt-get?
[09:33] <sugoruyo> if you hibernate you need swap to be at least as much as your RAM i think

[09:34] <foss> anybody kno?
[09:35] <foss> how to install ns2 using sudo apt-get install command in ubuntu ultimate edition 2.58
[09:36] <lazarus_> which file edits the grub colours
[09:36] <sugoruyo> lazarus_: your system probably made a swap to avoid the possibility of you getting a nice message about a kernel panic

[10:08] <Rickardo1> I´ shall setup ssh keys .. does it matter on wich machine I run ssh-keygen on?
[10:10] <AdvoWork> i just tried ssh user@internalip and ive got: WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!   any ideas please, this used to work, unsure what i've done..
[10:11] <Idol_Mind> I've been trying to clone my install from a larger drive to a smaller drive all day and having loads of problems. If I want to copy only what's in my encrypted home folder to my new install, what do I need to do?
[10:11] <AdvoWork> i know i need to edit /home/rich/.ssh/known_hosts  (well i think i do, it states the problem is 20(i assume line 20) but the lines are continued etc and all encrypted
[10:12] <sugoruyo> AdvoWork: just open the file with gedit
[10:12] <oCean> Rickardo1: If you say, want to use ssh from machine1 to access machine2, machine3 and machine4, you would generate a key at machine1, copy the key to the other machines, and start happy ssh'ing
[10:12] <sugoruyo> and turn off word wrap
[10:12] <sugoruyo> then find line 20 and delete it (it should match the machine you are trying to connect to)
[10:12] <ozfalcon> Need help with some bash scripting
[10:13] <sugoruyo> the garbled data is an encryption key stored for that machine
[10:13] <oCean> AdvoWork: there was probably an ip change on that machine. As sugoruy said, just delete line 20 in that known_hosts file
[10:13] <Rickardo1> oCean: But does it matter which machine the key is generated on?
[10:13] <sacarlson> AdvoWork: I just delete the files in ~./ssh  you can rename the dir if you might be deleting something you need
[10:13] <AdvoWork> sugoruyo, so if it says: Offending key in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:20  if i open with gedit, and remove line 20?
[10:13] <oCean> Rickardo1: generate it on the machine you want to ssh FROM and copy it to the machine you want to ssh IN
[10:14] <sugoruyo> AdvoWork: exactly, don't count them though, disable word wrap, enable line numbers on the left side
[10:14] <Rickardo1> oCean: yes, I know.. but does it matter?
[10:14] <sugoruyo> AdvoWork: and then delete
[10:15] <sugoruyo> Rickardo1: the key in question is the public key of the machine you are connecting to, not your public key
[10:16] <oCean> Rickardo1: yes. Generating the key will create the keypair, which is unique.

[10:20] <oCean> Idol_Mind: playlist files are in ~/.local/share/rhythmbox I think
[10:21] <lazarus_> my bros places menu is messed up click videos opens banshee
[10:23] <Idol_Mind> Ok, so I've copied desktop, documents, pictures, themes, .evolution, .local, .shotwell, and a couple other files... am I missing anything important?
[10:23] <sugoruyo> Wolfsherz: maybe you should ask in an xchat related channel, that being said if you hit the xchat menu and open the network list you can choose the network and edit it's settings where you'll find a place to put the channel names (with the #)
[10:26] <Wolfsherz> someone knows if the font monospace is available for windows?
[10:26] <nothingspecial> lazarus_: Make a folder on our desktop, right click, choose to open with file browser, choose to always do this (or whatever it says, something like that)
[10:27] <Wolfsherz> sugoruyo, thanks, i got my answer there.
[10:27] <lazarus_> nothingspecial: cheers

[10:38] <AceKing> I installed vpnautoconnect-1.1 on my PC. for some reason it's not letting me connect to my VPN at all. It automatically starts with the system and I don't know how to uninstall it, or at least stop it from starting automatically. can someone help?
[10:38] <Ryu_Kurisu> AceKing: How did you install it? Deb?
[10:39] <AceKing> Ryu_Kurisu, yes
[10:39] <AceKing> Ryu_Kurisu, I tried double clicking the file again hoping it would have an uninstall command, but it only had reinstall
[10:40] <Ryu_Kurisu> You might need to go to synaptic and try to find the packages installed with the deb AceKing :)
[10:40] <AceKing> Ryu_Kurisu, I tried that.. It's not there
[10:40] <sre-su> How to open .amr files?
[10:41] <AceKing> Ryu_Kurisu, I looked in System/ Preferences/ Startup, but it wasn't there
[10:41] <om26er> sre-su, if you have codecs installed, just play with rhythmbox
[10:42] <Ryu_Kurisu> You can try this AceKing: sudo dpkg -r package_name (i.e. sudo -r vpnautoconnect-1.1.deb)
[10:42] <Ryu_Kurisu> The package you can drag'n'drop to the terminal :) Ensures you don't type it wrong :)
[10:42] <Ryu_Kurisu> sre-su: What kind of files are .amr?
[10:43] <AceKing> Ryu_Kurisu, Thanks, I'll try that and let you know.
[10:43] <Ryu_Kurisu> Your welcome :)
[10:43] <fructose> Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to troubleshoot bluetooth in Ubuntu 10.10? It cannot detect other devices, nor make itself visible.
[10:43] <EugenMayer> Hello. I just reinstalled 10.10 from fresh ( previews was a upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.10) .. suddenly my microphone ( creative xfi ) does not work anymore. Any ideas?
[10:44] <fructose> For instance, anyone have an idea how to find out what device/drivers are being used for bluetooth?
[10:44] <Ryu_Kurisu> fructose: So you've got no bluetooth-indicator in the top-panel?
[10:44] <fructose> Ryu_Kurisu: There is an indicator
[10:45] <Ryu_Kurisu> EugenMayer: Suddenly? Or from the start of the fresh install?
[10:45] <fructose> Ryu_Kurisu: I can tell it to turn on/off, go visible, etc. It's just not visible to other devices, nor can it detect others
[10:45] <EugenMayer> Ryu_Kurisu: yes. the "upgraded" version worked
[10:45] <EugenMayer> Ryu_Kurisu: i diff`ed anything in /etc/modprobe and /etc/modules and it seems to be 100% match
[10:45] <Ryu_Kurisu> EugenMayer: After my fresh install of 10.10 my mic was muted...
[10:46] <AceKing> Ryu_Kurisu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/552410/
[10:46] <EugenMayer> Ryu_Kurisu: iam not new to ubuntu neither to linux ;-)
[10:46] <EugenMayer> AFAIK all channels are unmuted and full volume. I can record from PCM (useless) but i can record from micro
[10:46] <Ryu_Kurisu> AceKing: is it in your home-folder? You can drag and drop the file so it takes the correct package...
[10:47] <AceKing> Ryu_Kurisu, Ok, my mistake. I just copied the name of the file, not the location.
[10:48] <Ryu_Kurisu> AceKing: :)
[10:48] <skpl> can someone help me format my hd?
[10:48] <sre-su> om26er: What codecs are required to play .amr files?
[10:49] <bullgard4> Maverick > Indicator Applet Session > Hibernate sometimes reports: "s2disk: Snapshotting system" with a blinkiing cursor in the next row and remains in this state. I can  type 'exit <CR>'. Maverick echoes 'exit' but I cannot see any other effect. How to continue troubleshooting?
[10:49] <om26er> sre-su, open ubuntu software center and search for 'ubuntu restricted extras' install them and you would be able to play almost every media :)
[10:49] <sre-su> om26er: I've it installed
[10:50] <om26er> sre-su, could you provide me with a sample .amr file?
[10:50] <Ryu_Kurisu> fructose: Did you try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset ?
[10:50] <AceKing> Ryu_Kurisu, Ok, I dragged and dropped into terminal, and got the same message. This is was the input: sudo dpkg -r '/home/ace/Downloads/vpnautoconnect-1.1_i386.deb
[10:50] <c_nick> chmviewer for Linux
[10:51] <sre-su> om26er: Umm... the one I need to play is personal recording which got saved in .amr  format.. Hold on lemme see if I've any other
[10:51] <skpl> can someone help me format my hd?
[10:52] <jpds> sre-su: Have you installed libopencore-amrnb0 ?
[10:52] <jpds> sre-su: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/.amr#Software_support suggests that ffmpeg should be able to play .amr with that installed.
[10:53] <AceKing> skpl, is it an external hd?
[10:53] <fructose> Ryu_Kurisu: That doesn't have anything to do with my problem except it also uses bluetooth
[10:53] <skpl> AceKing: no
[10:54] <om26er> jpds, ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed
[10:55] <AceKing> skpl, you can use the disk utility System/Administration/ Disk Utility. Just make sure you have the right drive :)
[10:55] <Wolfsherz> skpl, what is the problem with formatting the hd?
[10:55] <fructose> Ryu_Kurisu: To me, the first step is figuring out which device/drivers are being used for bluetooth... then I can search for known issues, but lspci doesn't show anything obvious
[10:55] <skpl> AceKing: could you elaborate please?
[10:55] <Anf3t4m1n> hi guys, i have a question for you.... do you know the program pulse audio? i have a dolby 5.1 connected to my sound card in to the digital output, but i can select only "digital stereo" and "analog 5.1"... where can i find the "digital 5.1" exit of my sound card?
[10:56] <AceKing> skpl, is the drive in your computer?
[10:56] <skpl> AceKing: yes, but it says the drive is busy
[10:56] <AceKing> skpl, unmount it
[10:56] <skpl> AceKing: how do i do that?
[10:56] <AceKing> skpl, in the disk utility
[10:57] <sunit> hello, can anybody tell me how to install postgres 8.3 in ubuntu 10.04 LTS server ?
[10:57] <AceKing> skpl, open the disk utility, and find the drive you want to format. If it shows it's mounted, unmount it and you will be able to format it
[10:57] <skpl> AceKing: i dont know how to unmount the disk
[10:58] <AceKing> skpl, do you have the disk utility open?
[10:58] <skpl> AceKing: yes

[10:58] <zipperhead>  anyone knows why alternative install gives me a black screen on first boot after install
[10:59] <AceKing> skpl, click on the drive on the left hand side. You will see where it says Unmount Volume on the right part of the screen towards the bottom
[10:59] <Ryu_Kurisu> Damn, misread something: AceKing try dpkg -r vpnautoconnect-1.1_i386

[11:06] <zipperhead>  anyone knows why alternative install gives me a black screen on first boot after install
[11:06] <Ryu_Kurisu> AceKing: You need to get the package_name from the deb: dpkg --info /home/ace/Downloads/vpnautoconnect-1.1_i386.deb it should be one of the listings. Then use that package name to remove with sudo dpkg -r package_name
[11:07] <Wolfsherz> rohitnikcool, ok can't help you with that, might have had some advice for wireless, but wired should work just the same as windows... maybe someone else has some advice.

[11:10] <dean[w]> I have a peculiar problem with ubuntu. When i lock my screen, it wont accept my password. I'm certain it's correct as i can ssh in, but oddly if i click "Switch user" and select my username again and then type the password, it works. WHy would this happen?
[11:10] <EugenMayer> i tried to play arround with the alsamixer and using mono / stereo typed input. I unmuted anything execpt PCM recording but still no luck
[11:11] <Calinou> Ryu_Kurisu: i was just trying those commands

[11:11] <EugenMayer> dean[w]: kind of keaybord layout issues?
[11:11] <dean[w]> EugenMayer, nope. caps lock isnt on and i verified by typing in the "leave message" box that keyboard layout was correct
[11:11] <Ryu_Kurisu> AceKing: I'm at a lost, can't figure out what's wrong or how to help you further...it should've worked :-/

[11:14] <NTAuthority> ubuntu is for bunts
[11:14] <earwigs> kokil: its having troubles connecting to the server.

[11:15] <kokil> wat should i do
[11:15] <kokil> ??
[11:15] <earwigs> NTAuthority: yeah, real men use a complex system of abaci
[11:16] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: its a 7.1 xfi ( i think its the music or gamer edition). I uses 4.0, 5.1, 7.1 and stereo + mono input and stereo duplex - no luck
[11:16] <earwigs> kokil: check to see if anything is stopping you communicating with the server
[11:17] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: output of "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep -i codec" ?

[11:20] <bonjoyee> kokil: could be a dns issue...
[11:20] <earwigs> kokil: weird
[11:21] <kokil> yup.. ill try.. thanks
[11:21] <DJones> Ghost_: From memory, if you hold down the left shift key at bootup, that'll dislpay the boot list for grub
[11:21] <yeats> kokil: you can try a different mirror too
[11:23] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: http://pastebin.com/WfRpys3B
[11:24] <Ghost_> DJones: thx mate that helped!
[11:24] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: and ls /proc/asound/card0 ?

[11:28] <wookienz> guys, i have a nix based NAS running raid 5. The dam CPU is soo slow it cant output anything pfaster than about 2mb/s. Can i remove the drives and put them in my pc and re mount the array/
[11:28] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: lsmod | grep -i snd-hda is empty ( as its not a hda but rather a snd_ctfxi)
[11:28] <Gnea> wookienz: what cpu?
[11:28] <erUSUL> wookienz: what type of raid5 ?
[11:29] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: ok..so u have already tried all this stuff?
[11:29] <fructose> can someone tell me how to determine which device is acting as my bluetooth adapter? I do not see anything related to bluetooth when I do lspci or lsusb
[11:29] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: http://pastebin.com/BTtU5jas
[11:29] <erUSUL> wookienz: if it is linux software raid there is not problem if you are suing the bios of the mobo then you may have a problem
[11:29] <zipperhead>  anyone knows why alternative install gives me a black screen on first boot after install
[11:29] <Gnea> fructose: how do you know you have bt connectivity?
[11:29] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: http://pastebin.com/aGNEk55R
[11:30] <wookienz> erUSUL: it is a thecus NAS, and ill move it to the PC and run fak raid.
[11:30] <s3r3n1t7>  I'm using Java 6.22, Tomcat 6.0.28 on Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 with the latest updates with all repo's enabled. The setup I'm using is Apache as front end with Tomcat behind it. We're running multiple OfBIZ instances, which are connected using a proxy to apache. I"m now trying to connect my NC system as well now, however when I try to logon using the builtin authentication framework I always get a HTTP status 408, time allowed has been exceeded
[11:31] <wookienz> Gnea: unknown, i think it is a combination of things... cifs probably being the main culprit!
[11:31] <fructose> Gnea: I know my laptop has an adapter, it's detected and I get the bluetooth panel, and bluetooth shows up in lsmod... just doesn't actually work, so I want to troubleshoot
[11:31] <Ghost_> erUSUL: yeah thanx for that!
[11:31] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: anything else?
[11:31] <erUSUL> wookienz: maybe/probably the raid implementations are not compatible so you wont be able to just move the disks and rebuild the array
[11:32] <wookienz> Nanoha: hi, did you solve your network issues!
[11:32] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: :)
[11:32] <Gnea> fructose: well, heh, the thing with that is that if the bluez stuff is installed, it's going to show up whether or not there's an adapter installed or not. did it work in windows?
[11:32] <wookienz> erUSUL: i have ssh access to the bx, can i tell if the raid implementation is compatible?
[11:32] <fructose> Gnea: I never tried it in Windows
[11:32] <Gnea> wookienz: what model #?
[11:33] <wookienz> 4100+
[11:33] <mmo|> Hi, does anyone have an idea why after installing xubuntu 10.10 on my fit-pc 1.0, when logging into it via a terminal, there is a delay of perhaps 5 seconds after I get the welcome message (motd) until I see the terminal? I didn't have this problem with Ubuntu 7.10m which I had before...
[11:33] <erUSUL> wookienz: maybe you can check if it uses linux mdadm ( if it is linux )
[11:33] <Gnea> fructose: is there a fn+key switch to turn bt on/off?
[11:33] <luketheduke> my ubuntu always locks itself after a minute if I don't do anything. how do I turn that off?
[11:33] <Gnea> luketheduke: define 'locks itself'
[11:33] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: under alsamixer...so you get the option to select the channels mode?
[11:33] <wookienz> erUSUL: mdadm is installed but i have to find out if it is used i guess.
[11:33] <erUSUL> fructose: you can check if BT is disabled with rfkill; « sudo rfkill list all »
[11:33] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: do*
[11:34] <luketheduke> Gnea: the screen turns off and when I touch the touchpad I have to unlock it (enter my password)
[11:34] <Gnea> luketheduke: ah, so change the display/screensaver settings
[11:34] <luketheduke> Gnea: turned it all off.
[11:34] <Gnea> luketheduke: clearly you didn't.
[11:35] <luketheduke> Gnea: I see, clearly I am an idiot. Well, I'll check, you can have screen shots (:
[11:35] <erUSUL> wookienz: « cat /proc/mdstat » ?
[11:35] <fructose> Gnea, erUSUL: 4: hci0: Bluetooth; Soft blocked: no; Hard blocked: no
[11:35] <erUSUL> fructose: then it is not blocked ...
[11:35] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: not sure what you mean by channel mode. I create some screeenshots, gimme a sec
[11:35] <luketheduke> Gnea: argh, there are screensaver options. I only checked power management before. I AM an idiot.
[11:35] <wookienz> erUSUL: yeah, active raid 5 under md0
[11:36] <luketheduke> Gnea: thanks.
[11:36] <Gnea> luketheduke: if you say so, but as long as you learned something, are you really an idiot? :)
[11:36] <fructose> erUSUL: Yet it still doesn't work

[11:36] <zipperhead>  anyone knows why alternative install gives me a black screen on first boot after install
[11:36] <erUSUL> wookienz: then you should be able to move the diks to another linux box and get the array
[11:36] <zipperhead> can anyone please help me
[11:36] <zipperhead> i am stuck
[11:36] <zipperhead> please
[11:36] <Gnea> !ask | zipperhead
[11:37] <erUSUL> wookienz: my mdadm foo is severy lacking but i am sure you can find how to in the web about it
[11:37] <erUSUL> !raid | wookienz
[11:37] <zipperhead> Gnea, i have been asking for past 20 min
[11:37] <wookienz> erUSUL: ok thanks... just inc ase - http://paste.ubuntu.com/552427/
[11:37] <Gnea> zipperhead: have you tried turning verbosity on during boot?
[11:37] <LordofArabia> zipperhead probably a stupid question but whats your graphics card?
[11:37] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: http://uppix.net/f/7/e/007e69bbb9ca821ca8103cbb39f38.png
[11:37] <zipperhead> nvidia i am not sure model of top of my head but i am defiantely sure its nvidia
[11:38] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: ^^was the input
[11:38] <zipperhead> Gnea, no i have not can u please tell me how
[11:38] <erUSUL> wookienz: you have two raids there. raid 1 ( probably for the system install ) and a raid5 ( for data probably )
[11:38] <LordofArabia> have you simply tried downloading and using the standard live cd?
[11:38] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: You don't have permission to access /1/a/b/0b85e7d3e5179c73cf69048a13da5.png on this server "Error 403"
[11:38] <erUSUL> wookienz: writte that down for future reference ....
[11:38] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: hmm its openly readable AFAIK
[11:38] <EugenMayer> http://uppix.net/1/a/b/0b85e7d3e5179c73cf69048a13da5.png
[11:38] <Gnea> zipperhead: get into grub at boottime, usually with ESC or shift, then edit the kernel line and remove the following before booting:  'quiet splash'
[11:39] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: proxy issue?
[11:39] <zipperhead> aha yeah i have done that sorry
[11:39] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/3zafuf29/Auswahl_002.png ( input )
[11:39] <Gnea> zipperhead: then it should tell you what's wrong
[11:39] <zipperhead> i even trye nomodeset xforcevesa
[11:39] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: output http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/ej8s0ty2/Auswahl_001.png
[11:39] <Gnea> oh, never force vesa on an nvidia
[11:40] <Gnea> that's just asking for trouble
[11:40] <zipperhead> it seems like its to do with display like its not set properly or resolution is 2 high
[11:40] <zipperhead> coz sometimes i see thos wave line
[11:40] <Gnea> wavelines indicate that the electrons on the display are not fast enough
[11:41] <Gnea> IOW, Hz is too slow
[11:41] <zipperhead> possible but how do i set it
[11:41] <zipperhead> or how do i boot in just any resolution so i can set it up
[11:41] <Gnea> in the display options, typically
[11:41] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: meanwhile check this out..https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83449
[11:41] <zipperhead> yes but i cant get in to  display options
[11:41] <MadRobot> Hi all
[11:41] <Gnea> can you boot the livecd?
[11:42] <zipperhead> i think so
[11:42] <zipperhead> i can try
[11:42] <Gnea> try it, see if the display shows then
[11:42] <MadRobot> Is it possible to add transition effects to the xml script that changes the background image?
[11:42] <zipperhead> okay will do
[11:42] <zipperhead> thanks Gnea  get back to u soon
[11:42] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: its exactly the same issue - and not solved
[11:43] <wookienz> erUSUL: ok thanks... looks like it should be a goer. cant hurt it by trying, right?!?!
[11:43] <Gnea> i may not be here
[11:43] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: u tried that earlier?
[11:43] <zipperhead> i am just waiting for install to finish
[11:43] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: yes, by myself ( did not find that issue )
[11:43] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: what he does is recording from PCM - which works but does not help the mic-input issue
[11:44] <jgb> err: g++-multilib: Depends: g++-4.4-multilib but it is not going to be installed (Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64)
[11:44] <erUSUL> wookienz: i do not see how ... use assemble commands. according to man page « Assemble the components of a previously created array into an active array. Components can be explicitly  given  or  can  be searched  for.   mdadm checks that the components do form a bona fide array, and can, on request, fiddle superblock informa‐ tion so as to assemble a faulty array.
[11:44] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: thats why PCM is "muted" in my recording tab
[11:44] <erUSUL> wookienz: so you should be on the safe side of thnigs
[11:45] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: i think it comes does to what i selected as "recording input". if you look at my ss, you see that PCM is selected. I cant "deselect" it using the gui, might work with alsactl though
[11:45] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: that would most prob match http://www.mail-archive.com/lug@linux.or.ug/msg14772.html
[11:45] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: but i actually have no idea how to work with alsactl
[11:47] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: ok..also i believe for such an advanced audio card...there should an option "Channels" that says the no of output channels like 2,4,6 etc..so we are missing some config options here..something extra that need to added to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[11:48] <erUSUL> wookienz: maybe you can just copy over the NAS /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf if any ( change drive names accordingly of course  )
[11:48] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: thats why i checked back with my "upgraded" 10.10 and compared alsa-base.conf but they 100% match
[11:49] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: iam not sure, but i remember the xfi used emu10k as driver, not somehow ctxfi is used
[11:49] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: sudo modinfo snd-ctxfi lists a few parameters..if you'd like to try them,,,but thats just a trial and error thing...
[11:50] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: well i have to reboot each time, dont i?
[11:50] <wookienz> erUSUL: would a --scan not find super blocks etc of the newly installed drives on the dekstop nic machine and assemble that way?
[11:50] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: yeah..:-(
[11:51] <erUSUL> wookienz: as i said my mdadm foo is lacking. may just work (tm) though
[11:51] <wookienz> ;)
[11:51] <serard> Which software can I use to record my dekstop to a video ?
[11:51] <jpds> !info recordmydesktop | serard
[11:51] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: i cant see any slightly relevant params, do you?
[11:52] <serard> jpds thank you :)
[11:52] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: as i said..just a wild guess..with no guarantees!;)
[11:52] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: i dont even know the value range or type..
[11:52] <Wolfsherz> someone knows why the ubuntu logo at startup is textmode only at both my computers? installer-disk worked just fine but after installation it stays textmode.
[11:52] <EugenMayer> this is sensless
[11:53] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: snd-ctxfi.enable=0 could be a good start?
[11:55] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: before i start it, do you think it makes sense using newer alsa drivers? i already use the audio-ppa ones
[11:56] <MidWay> Howdy's, just installed the netbook 10.10 to an older HP NX 7010. Everything seems to have gone fine except when I mouse over the left nav bar.

[11:59] <ne2k> is this a bug, or deliberate? In Maverick. I have a multimedia keyboard. I can use the volume up and down buttons fine, and they work. However, if I have sound menu open (with the master fader, rhythmbox mini-view and sound preferences button), they don't function. I was hoping to see the master fader move up and down
[11:59] <zipperhead> Gnea,  after removeing no splash
[11:59] <zipperhead> Gnea,  after removeing no splash it just get thos waviy lines
[11:59] <ne2k> just to add, the back/forward and play/pause buttons also don't work with the sound menu open.
[11:59] <zipperhead> and through that i can see it actuall yboots to login name
[12:00] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: i think i miss the "connector" channel
[12:00] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: ?
[12:00] <EugenMayer> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/CheckForMutedMicrophone
[12:01] <acicula> MidWay: whats the output of the last few lines of dmesg (type it in aconsole), does it say segfault
[12:01] <MidWay> Let me check.
[12:01] <Ryu_Kurisu> ne2k: I think the panel claims for focus, disabling the entire keyboard :)
[12:02] <MidWay> acicula: Yes, do you want me to paste one line in here?
[12:02] <acicula> MidWay: nope
[12:03] <acicula> MidWay: its the windowmanager that (in)directly segfaults. its called mutter, it happens to me too every now and then
[12:03] <MidWay> libclutk appears to be involved.
[12:04] <MidWay> acicula: Fair enough. Do you know of any solutions or where I should work.
[12:04] <acicula> the segfault point varies, but the constant is the mutter wm
[12:04] <MidWay> acicula: Correct.
[12:04] <acicula> MidWay: not really, it only happens for me with a select group of programs, i tend to switch to normal ubuntu when that happens
[12:04] <MidWay> acicula: So reinstall with the desktop ubuntu?
[12:05] <acicula> MidWay: as far as a solution to the segfaults itself, dunno, im sure there are some bugreports filed about it by now
[12:05] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: [   13.660879] ALSA ctatc.c:1267: ctxfi: chip 20K1 model Unknown (1102:0021) is found

[12:05] <MidWay> acicula: Interestingly.. coming back to the machine after the screensaver has come on I now have about 10% of the right hand side with a display error :-)
[12:05] <acicula> MidWay: well thats not really needed, just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and select ubuntu-desktop in the gdm screen
[12:05] <EugenMayer> thats an summary of my system settings
[12:06] <MidWay> acicula: Man, it's been about 10 years since I've tried a linux desktop.. It can't be that simple can it? :-)
[12:06] <acicula> MidWay: well it can be, untill people start assuring you that it really is, then it will all start to fail instantly
[12:06] <acicula> MidWay: so ymmv :P
[12:06] <MidWay> acicula: Murphy's law of course.

[12:07] <sunit> hello, I am trying to install postgres 8.3 in ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. postgers 8.3 is not in ubuntu repository and can't be install by apt-get install.
[12:07] <acicula> MidWay: anyway the ubuntu-desktop option should be available at the bottom of the loginscreen where it says ubuntu netbook edition or something similar
[12:07] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: also very interesting is thet the record devices are only
[12:07] <EugenMayer> **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: XFi [Creative X-Fi], device 0: ctxfi [Front/WaveIn]
[12:07] <EugenMayer> "Wavein"
[12:07] <MidWay> acicula: Well, apt is running in the other terminal tab. We'll see how we go.
[12:08] <sunit> Can anybody help me, how to install postgers in 10.04 LTS ?
[12:08] <jrib> sunit: build it yourself or find a ppa
[12:08] <jrib> sunit: (or use the version that is in the repos)
[12:08] <MidWay> acicula: Thanks for your help btw.
[12:08] <Gos_> a
[12:09] <sunit> jrib: how shall I find a ppa ?
[12:09] <jrib> !ppa | sunit
[12:09] <jrib> sunit: the best option is to use the version in the repositories
[12:09] <Ryu_Kurisu> jrib: I've heard earlier today that PostGreSQL isn't in the repos O:-)
[12:09] <jrib> Ryu_Kurisu: it is...
[12:09] <acicula> sunit: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/postgresql-8.3 ?
[12:09] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: OMG. got it.
[12:09] <MidWay> acicula: Ok, apt ran and finished. gdm next eh?
[12:10] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: ?
[12:10] <Ryu_Kurisu> You've found the problem EugenMayer? :)
[12:10] <EugenMayer> Oh yes i did.
[12:10] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: you and i was suggesting right - its about the channels
[12:11] <MidWay> acicula: Hmm. Lets try this again eh.
[12:11] <Ryu_Kurisu> Great that someone could help you EugenMayer :)
[12:11] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: the undocumented "space" bar in alsamixer lets you activate / deactivate channels. You have to deactivate PCM and s/PDIF in and activate mike
[12:11] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: yes it does..and "m" mutes them!
[12:11] <acicula> MidWay: ?
[12:12] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: mute != select / unselct
[12:12] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: thats true...its more like enable/disable
[12:12] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: so it works now?
[12:13] <EugenMayer> yes
[12:13] <almoxarife> I have a list of files I want to delete, the list is a txt file, is there a terminal command that would do that?
[12:13] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: id suggest you post this on ubuntuforums.org to help others!
[12:13] <erUSUL> almoxarife: one file per line?
[12:14] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: i would, but since they not support openid i wont create a account
[12:14] <almoxarife> erUSUL: yes
[12:14] <jrib> almoxarife: while read file; do echo $file; done < textfile.txt   should help you out...
[12:14] <bonjoyee> EugenMayer: oh..ok..but glad it works:)
[12:14] <erUSUL> almoxarife: while IFS= read -r file; do rm -- "$file" ; done < file
[12:14] <nimrod10> has anybody been able to play a radio stream in rhytmbox 0.12.8 in Lucid ?  It fails for me with could not resolve proxy hostname, even though i have no proxy
[12:16] <EugenMayer> bonjoyee: if you have an account : http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/4py0xbtx/Auswahl_003.png
[12:17] <almoxarife> erUSUL: do I change 'file' to my actual file name? and in both instances as shown?
[12:17] <MidWay> acicula: Hmm. It's better. Except I can't change resolutions. /shrug I'll probably re-install
[12:17] <pavankumarl> hello guys I have a problem here. In terminal When I gain root access for the first time I'll be prompted for the password. But if I reopen terminal and type "sudo ..." I wont be prompted to enter password. Same problem with other applications requiring root access. How to disable this
[12:17] <acicula> MidWay: eh display tool under preferences doesnt work?
[12:17] <erUSUL> almoxarife: no only the last one is the name of the file with the filenmaes within
[12:18] <MidWay> acicula: Yeah it does, only the display corrupts no matter what I do.
[12:18] <MidWay> acicula: I'm thinking this machine is just too old.
[12:18] <erUSUL> pavankumarl: sudo will cache password for 15 min by default
[12:18] <acicula> MidWay: multiple screens?
[12:18] <erkan^> someone experience "gnome subtitles"?
[12:18] <almoxarife> erUSUL: thnks

[12:18] <nimrod10> has anybody been able to play a radio stream in rhytmbox 0.12.8 in Lucid ?  It fails for me with could not resolve proxy hostname, even though i have no proxy
[12:18] <MidWay> acicula: Single screen, 6 year old HP Compaq laptop.
[12:19] <MidWay> ATI card iirc.
[12:19] <pavankumarl> erUSUL: I want to disable that feature, how to disable that
[12:19] <acicula> MidWay: should be fine afaik
[12:19] <lorenzosu> I had a power-down while updating Ubuntu 10.04 and now the system is unbootable even in rescue mode. Anything I can do from the live CD?
[12:19] <erUSUL> pavankumarl: proebaly tweaking /etc/sudoers. check man page « man sudoers »
[12:20] <acicula> MidWay: doubtfull reinstalling the same installation will fix that. try different resolutions/refresh rates?
[12:20] <nimrod10> lorenzosu, what exactly is it showing when trying to boot ?
[12:20] <pavankumarl> thanks erUSUL, I'll have a look
[12:21] <poison> i have a problem , when i install any thing on terminal and ubuntu software centre he give me error
[12:21] <lorenzosu> nimrod10: If I do a normal boot it freezes at gdm (user selection), meaning no keyboard or mouse is active.
[12:21] <MidWay> acicula: Trying that now. Only issue is that it doesn't 'come back' after changing. "Normally I don't have this problem." *grin*
[12:21] <rumpe2> poison, use can only use one of them at a time
[12:21] <rusty149>  poison: Please paste error messages please
[12:21] <lorenzosu> nimrod10: If I use rescue mode it halts at some post-mount script. Only thing I can do at that point is CTRL-ALT-DEL reboot
[12:22] <MidWay> acicula: Ahh. I'm a bad peson. I set the display to 1680x1050 and held the power button in. On reboot its fine.
[12:22] <poison> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)

[12:22] <acicula> MidWay: yay
[12:23] <rumpe2> poison, close software-center
[12:23] <rusty149> poison: Close other terminal windows, sunaptic package manager and ubuntu software center
[12:23] <nimrod10> lorenzosu, I would use the live cd, boot in the live cd, mount the partitions and check them if you can see files. Looks like you have to reinstall but at least check to see if you can retreive/backup any files
[12:23] <poison> rumpe: i'm npt open
[12:23] <HA1DFO> hi all. Where has GNBD gone in ubuntu?
[12:23] <poison> not*

[12:23] <HA1DFO> i can't really find the successor package.
[12:23] <nimrod10> any rhytmbox user ?
[12:23] <poison> rusty149: i not open synaptic and ubuntu software center
[12:24] <MidWay> acicula: D'oh. Looks like the machine doesn't have enough grunt to play DVDs.. the one task I had in mind :P
[12:24] <lorenzosu> nimrod10: I can mount the partitions and see the files. I have a separate home partition but reinstalli will still be a big hassle
[12:24] <poison> rusty149:  i just open i chat and firefox
[12:24] <AbhiJit> !info gnbd
[12:24] <acicula> MidWay: heh yeah
[12:24] <nimrod10> lorenzosu, do a fsck on the  /   partition where the system is installed
[12:24] <acicula> MidWay: try using mplayer
[12:24] <HA1DFO> okay, i can see this. But what is the successor? Why has it been removed?
[12:24] <nimrod10> lorenzosu, maybe you don't need to reinstall ...
[12:25] <MidWay> acicula: mplayer != totem?
[12:25] <HA1DFO> This link (http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-10.10/ubuntu-main-i386/cman_3.0.12-2ubuntu2_i386.deb.html) says: "Drop gnbd* packages in full. They are obsoleted from this upstream and moved to their own project. " But I can't find any own project
[12:25] <JackLeo> mplayer > totem
[12:25] <acicula> MidWay: they are not the same no
[12:25] <poison> Plzzz help me ,!!
[12:26] <acicula> mplayer is a separate(standalone) media player. totem is better integrated overall though
[12:26] <wookienz> erUSUL: i managed to get a nfs connection which appears to be 3 times faster... so 900Gb wont take as long as before!

[12:26] <erUSUL> wookienz: so was cifs/samba issue
[12:26] <rumpe2> poison, this happens, if the pc wasn't shut down proper. The lock prevents other managers to interfere with your system whie others are working. if you are sure, that no other package-manager is running, try "sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock"
[12:27] <wookienz> itunes replacement suggestions for iphone, just music.

[13:32] <ra2011> does anybody knows how to get nVidia board recognized by Additional Drivers ?
[13:32] <sacarlson> ra2011: did you try System>Administration>hardware drivers ?
[13:34] <ra2011> sacarlson: Yes, I did.
[13:34] <ra2011> sacarlson: I this case (Ubuntu 10.10) Additional Drivers.
[13:35] <sacarlson> ra2011: and saw nothing that detected something for your nvidia graphic card?
[13:36] <ra2011> sacarlson: I installed its drivers manually, but its 3D capabilities isn´ t recognized by opengl...
[13:37] <sacarlson> ra2011: manualy meaning?  from nvidia web site?
[13:37] <IzaacJ> hello. how do I add something to my path?
[13:38] <ra2011> sacarlson: I downloaded from nvidia web site the (96.43.19) version...
[13:38] <sacarlson> ra2011: in most cases it's as simple as http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia
[13:38] <llutz_> IzaacJ: change PATH.... in ~/.profile
[13:38] <Harness> Permanently or temporarily?
[13:38] <IzaacJ> llutz_ thanks :)
[13:38] <sacarlson> ra2011: ok then you need to run there utility that creates the xorg.conf file and put it in /etc
[13:38] <gusg> My cursor is spinning in every application, though it still works to click and move.
[13:39] <ra2011> sacarlson: I will try psychocats...
[13:39] <ra2011> sacarlson: the nvidia installation script already run the conf utility at the end...
[13:40] <sacarlson> ra2011: ok does the conf file now reside in /etc ?
[13:40] <sivang> hi all
[13:40] <sivang> can anybody please tell me where tomboy stores its notes?
[13:40] <sacarlson> ra2011: I would check /var/log/xorg.0.log and see what might be the problem
[13:41] <share> sivang: try in /home folder ctrl+h to show hidden folders and search for it
[13:41] <sacarlson> ra2011: oh and I have no idea what psychocats is
[13:41] <ra2011> sarcarlson: yes, it resides in /etc/X11/
[13:41] <share> sivang: or in /home/.config
[13:41] <oCean> sivang: ~/.local/share/tomboy
[13:41] <share> k
[13:42] <sivang> thanks guys
[13:42] <ra2011> sacarlson: psychocats its the website you show me..
[13:42] <sacarlson> ra2011: that's the correct location then I would look at logs and find out why it's 3d isn't happy
[13:43] <ra2011> sacarlson: I will look in there...
[13:43] <sacarlson> ra2011: oh ok it had cool pics and a method I've used in the past that have worked,  but I like the latiest from nvidia and what you did should work
[13:45] <ra2011> sacarlson: I'm using xorg server 1.9.0
[13:45] <sacarlson> ra2011: is that the standard 10.10 or ? release?
[13:46] <ra2011> sacarlson: its standard on 10.10
[13:46] <ra2011> sacarlson: and the log says... [    22.557] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[13:46] <nemesys2121> salut tout le monde
[13:46] <sacarlson> ra2011: well I run an older nvidea card fine on 10.04
[13:47] <sacarlson> ra2011: and no (EE) in the log?
[13:47] <ra2011> sacarlson: perhaps maybe any quirks in this new version...
[13:47] <lwdplmm_> admin
[13:48] <ra2011> sacarlson: no (EE) in there...
[13:48] <ra2011> sacarlson: only in the legend...
[13:49] <sacarlson> ra2011: and it ends up detecting the nvidia?  what driver ends up in use?
[13:49] <ra2011> sacarlson: Do you wanna see it ?
[13:49] <sacarlson> ra2011: sure pastbinit

[13:52] <lwdplmm_> hi-there
[13:52] <jocrawfo> hello everyone, last week I installed 10.10 on my work laptop and installed vpnc for the cisco vpn, I imported my vpn profiles from another system and I can connect to the VPN just fine, when i run ifconfig i can see that it created a new interface and has an ip, however at that point I cannot resolve anything.  I cannot even reach the network proxy settings so my question is where can i see the logs on Ubuntu for the VPNC connections
[13:54] <sacarlson> jocrawfo: maybe it's just not routed?  show me sudo route
[13:54] <v> .
[13:54] <ra2011> sacarlson: I don't know how to use pastebin to paste the log

[14:16] <agnostic> oh, i'm so stupid. thanks ^^

[14:17] <arjun_> Hi, I have a question.
[14:17] <sam-_-> r1pp3rj4ck, so it's a problem with konsole then? is it running bash?
[14:17] <coz_> sacarlson,  sorry I didnt see the problem with compiz    do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed?
[14:17] <sacarlson> ra2011: coz_: asked what card is it?  lspci
[14:17] <sam-_-> r1pp3rj4ck, help|grep -i bash
[14:17] <ra2011> sacarlson: hold...
[14:18] <BPCadmin> coz_; np, thank you for the help
[14:18] <coz_> ra2011,   oh you are the one with the compiz issue
[14:18] <r1pp3rj4ck> sam-_-: uses bash, yes
[14:18] <r1pp3rj4ck> *it uses bash
[14:18] <sacarlson> coz_: add ra2011: as he is the one with the problem
[14:18] <coz_> sacarlson,  sorry guy
[14:18] <sacarlson> coz_: not a problem
[14:18] <pcfreak30> How can i get my pc to auto assign a dns server to my xbox on eth0?
[14:18] <r1pp3rj4ck> sam-_-: 4.1.5
[14:18] <ra2011> coz_ and sacarlson: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev c1)

[14:18] <coz_> ra2011,    oooo  that card may not work
[14:18] <abe1> hi all
[14:19] <abe1> is there any free VPN ?
[14:19] <rpaisley> What's the easiest way to turn off drive encryption?  I got a faster hard drive (SSD) and no longer wish to incur the penalty.  Currently it's everything but /boot.
[14:19] <sam-_-> r1pp3rj4ck, don't know about konsole. it might be that the tab key isn't redirected to the bash.
[14:19] <ra2011> sacarlson and coz: its an old card
[14:19] <coz_> ra2011,    no drivers were present for that  in the additional drivers  dialog??
[14:19] <sam-_-> r1pp3rj4ck, check keyboard settings and just to be sure try another terminal like xterm
[14:19] <sacarlson> abe1: yes openvpn
[14:19] <ra2011> coz_: no...
[14:20] <r1pp3rj4ck> sam-_-: it is redirected, because if it's working if I want to auto-complete a filename
[14:20] <abe1> @sacarlson thank you
[14:20] <coz_> ra2011,   then its unlikely you will get that up and running but hold on let me check something
[14:20] <r1pp3rj4ck> but I check the xterm out
[14:20] <rusty149> pcfreak30: have you tried a static IP for the xbox
[14:20] <sacarlson> coz_: ra2011: but the glxgears works
[14:20] <ra2011> coz_: ok
[14:21] <r1pp3rj4ck> sam-_-: and it's working in xterm
[14:21] <jocrawfo> so last week I installed 10.10 on my work laptop, installed vpnc and imported the profiles from another computer.  Over the weekend I attempted to get some work done from home and connected to the VPN.  It connected just fine and created another interface, however I was unable to do anything.  It would not even resolve the proxy that I need to go through to access the world from the work network.  sacarlson  mentioned that it may be the routing so I co
[14:21] <jocrawfo> nnected to the VPN and ran sudo route and also posted the ifconfig output here: http://pastebin.com/qJ0wvbcR If anyone could provide some assistance I would appreciate it.
[14:21] <ra2011> coz_: sacarlson: the nVidia driver is loaded in the kernel
[14:21] <Bihari>  1 have one more stupid Question well i have read about Linux and unix that they Built on C i have search every corner to see the C language scripts :p but i dont found it
[14:22] <ra2011> coz_: sacarlson: and seems to be working, except for its 3D capabilities...
[14:22] <Larriv> hey people, i'd like to have some script to put in Xchat do you know where i can find some, or do you know a better irc software
[14:22] <sam-_-> r1pp3rj4ck, so filename completion does work in konsole. in xterm every completion works (like package names)?
[14:22] <sam-_-> r1pp3rj4ck, correct?
[14:22] <pcfreak30> rusty149, yes i have.i was usingopendns. now it jjst says dns cant resolve xbox servers. it was working a day ago. i even restered mypc and reapplied the iptables config and everything. the foward works dns does not
[14:22] <sacarlson> jocrawfo: I just need a pastebin of route
[14:22] <jocrawfo> sacarlson, that is in the same paste
[14:22] <coz_> ra2011,   mm I can tell you this   Compiz requires at least a Geforce2. A Geforce 6xxx or greater is recommended for optimal performance and full support of the compiz effects feature set
[14:22] <jocrawfo> both ifconfig and sudo route are there
[14:22] <r1pp3rj4ck> sam-_-: yep, it's correct... and also in the ttys works every completion
[14:23] <pcfreak30> rusty149, sorry for the typos, im pretty bad at typing sometimes
[14:23] <coz_> ra2011,   did it work in  ubuntu lucid ?
[14:23] <ra2011> coz_: so, it should work...
[14:23] <sam-_-> r1pp3rj4ck, well that's very strange and i have no idea on how to fix this. maybe someone in the kubuntu channel knows
[14:23] <coz_> ra2011,  well perhaps  hold on let me check something
[14:23] <nimrod10> has anybody been able to play a radio stream in rhytmbox 0.12.8 in Lucid ?  It fails for me with could not resolve proxy hostname, even though i have no proxy
[14:23] <ra2011> coz_: I didn't try in Lucid
[14:23] <r1pp3rj4ck> sam-_-: ok, thanks :)
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> nimrod10:  the 'radio' stuff in the left side panel works here.
[14:25] <pcfreak30> rusty149, i also just tried my physicalrouter, 192.168.1.1. i amon a vpn atm too which is the main reason i am doing this.

[14:27] <jocrawfo> hrm ok
[14:27] <pcfreak30> rusty149, any help?
[14:28] <sacarlson> jocrawfo: I guess I would need to see the openvpn config you used to setup such a link
[14:28] <jocrawfo> have any idea how to fix this so that it works?
[14:28] <ubuntuser> hi everyone I have a creative device that I have set as removable disk to store some files, but nothing is mountes as I plug the device in, how can I fix this?
[14:28] <jocrawfo> i could show that to you one moment
[14:28] <rusty149> pcfreak30: I am not sure it maybe an opendns config issue (which I am not familiar with) if not then this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto
[14:29] <jocrawfo> sacarlson, this may contain sensetive data can I PM you the paste url?
[14:30] <sacarlson> jocrawfo: the last and important problem is you got me after I already started drinking beer
[14:30] <sangho> what is a good alternative for cband?
[14:30] <jocrawfo> oh no lol
[14:30] <sam-_-> ubuntuser, plug it in then run "dmesg|tail -n 10 " post whatever it says to pastebin.com
[14:30] <sacarlson> jocrawfo: sure

[14:30] <coz_> ra2011,   not finding much ...however   open a terminal   copy paste this      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade     then   open   system/administration/additional drivers  and see if one shows up
[14:30] <pcfreak30> rusty149, I already have bind9 with 3 dns fowarders in. If i use that server then it just says can't connect to internet...
[14:31] <ra2011> coz_: ok... I will do that...
[14:31] <dewdrop_world> hi folks, need some help
[14:31] <coz_> ra2011,   I can tell you that is going to rquire a legacy driver and settings chanings in xorg.conf to get compiz up and running
[14:31] <Bihari> exitrxit
[14:31] <Bihari> exit
[14:32] <dewdrop_world> i was told on ubuntu forums to go with wicd
[14:32] <dewdrop_world> removing network manager first
[14:32] <rusty149> pcfreak30: Try this http://www.wantmoore.com/archives/2008/07/21/setup-a-dns-relay-using-bind/
[14:32] <dewdrop_world> but now of course internet connections are gone
[14:32] <dewdrop_world> how hard is it to get my wired connection working by ifconfig?
[14:32] <dewdrop_world> i never used it before
[14:32] <LinLov> #mikrotik
[14:33] <dewdrop_world> my ubuntu is totally offline and i'm desperate
[14:33] <jocrawfo> so last week I installed 10.10 on my work laptop, installed vpnc and imported the profiles from another computer.  Over the weekend I attempted to get some work done from home and connected to the VPN.  It connected just fine and created another interface, however I was unable to do anything.  It would not even resolve the proxy that I need to go through to access the world from the work network.  sacarlson  mentioned that it may be the routing so I co
[14:33] <jocrawfo> nnected to the VPN and ran sudo route and also posted the ifconfig output here: http://pastebin.com/qJ0wvbcR If anyone could provide some assistance I would appreciate it. He however is not that familiar with VONC and Cisco so if anyone here can help I would appreciate it
[14:33] <LinLov> good night everybody
[14:33] <ra2011> coz_: please, resend your last msg to me
[14:33] <LinLov> my i ask some question to you
[14:34] <rusty149> dewdrop_world: Try sudo ifconfig up [interface-name]
[14:34] <iceroot> !ask | LinLov
[14:34] <dewdrop_world> ha! that easy
[14:34] <dewdrop_world> hm
[14:34] <dewdrop_world> thought it would be harder
[14:34] <dewdrop_world> ok will try
[14:34] <FloodBot3> dewdrop_world: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:34] <Larriv> hey does anyone know where i could fine some script to put in xchat !!!
[14:34] <coz_> ra2011,   run in terminal     sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade       after that is done    check to see if a driver shows up in  additional drivers
[14:34] <ra2011> coz_: thanks
[14:34] <rusty149> dewdrop_world: Well that is if it is configured correctly
[14:35] <ubuntuser> sam-_-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/552483/
[14:35] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[14:35] <younder> Larriv, Edit|preferences scripts and plugins
[14:35] <LinLov> Why did my ubuntu server with squid (2.7) not transparent. the client cannot using yahoo messenger or streaming radio?
[14:36] <sam-_-> ubuntuser, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc again to pastebin.com
[14:36] <Larriv> younder, i dont fine that, there is no script and plugin in my xchat preferences
[14:36] <ra2011> coz_: after these commands, Additional Drivers shows nothing...
[14:37] <feder87> hello, I just installed ubuntu and Grub had some issues installing
[14:37] <younder> Larriv, In mine there are 9
[14:37] <coz_> ra2011,   mm  try #nvidia channel  along with t his one.... there is a chance that the card has been removed from support  but not sure
[14:37] <pcfreak30> rusty149, where is the bind9 debug log located at
[14:37] <feder87> how do I install it again without having to do the whole OS install again?
[14:37] <ra2011> coz_:  ok, thank you very much
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> feder87:  you mean reinstall grub?
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[14:38] <ubuntuser> sam-_-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/552484/
[14:38] <Larriv> younder, ok i find it but, there is just 3 there, TcL, Perl and Python is that good to install
[14:38] <younder> Larriv, They were all installed by default, I have added nothing
[14:38] <rusty149> pcfreak: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto  lookat the logging section
[14:38] <SandCube> how to figure out what is my bluetooth model? (it configured and already working)
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> Larriv:  it may be worth wile to go to the xchat homepage and check its beginner guides and tutorials
[14:38] <ra2011> sacarlson: thank you
[14:38] <r1pp3rj4ck> brb
[14:38] <Larriv> younder, ya but i would like to have more command like chanserv and nickserv command
[14:39] <Eryn_1983_FL> guys WTH is this is my  drive failing?
[14:39] <Eryn_1983_FL> http://pastebin.com/CwftNbHp
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> Larriv:  some commands like that are a feature of the irc server. not the client.
[14:39] <st__> is there some char-map application but for console?
[14:39] <feder87> Dr_Willis: I can't access the shell, so how do I exec grub-install -v?
[14:39] <ra2011> sacarlson: coz_: I have to leave now, I will continue to look for a fix later...
[14:39] <Eryn_1983_FL> firefox keeps  going  shadow/gray on me  when i try to do things GRRR
[14:39] <sacarlson> ra2011: ok good luck
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> feder87:  boot a live cd.. follow the fix grub guides.
[14:39] <ra2011> sacarlson: coz_: many thanks
[14:39] <coz_> ra2011,   ok   if I find something I will let you know
[14:39] <younder> Larriv, Well none of them seem terribly interesting to me. What is it that you want to do?
[14:40] <feder87> I installed SystemRescueCD in a flash drive with unetbootin but that's not hwlping
[14:40] <ra2011> coz_: ok, great!
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> Eryn_1983_FL:  i would be making some backups...... soon.
[14:40] <Listener> Join #foobar2000
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> feder87:  you boot any live cd, get to a terminal in it. and you can 'chroot' into the installed linux system and attempt to fix grub.
[14:40] <sam-_-> ubuntuser, not sure if you will be able to use it like this. it's a mp3-player right?
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> feder87:  an actual ubuntu live cd. woudl be a bit easier to use however.
[14:41] <Larriv> Dr_Willis, ya but i remenber when i was a kids i was chatting on Mirc Click and my father right some scrypt and i had alot of command there
[14:41] <Eryn_1983_FL> I got  backups
[14:41] <sam-_-> ubuntuser, you can format it but then you won't be able to listen to music anymore i guess
[14:41] <Eryn_1983_FL> this is my second  drive..
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> Larriv:  mIRC has lots of useless features...
[14:41] <younder> Larriv, If you are not a chanserv or a nickserv you won't get them.
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> Larriv:  you can add 100000's of scripts and useless stuff to most irc clients.
[14:41] <Eryn_1983_FL> ok first  drive on the pc  secon
[14:41] <Northwoods> i just did , sudo tasksel install lamp-server , now how do check which is my localhost folder and how do i see what features have been installed under lamp-server ?
[14:41] <Eryn_1983_FL> on the  two i own
[14:41] <feder87> Dr_willis, ok I'll get slitaz with unetbootin ... I'm in the W OS right now and I don't know how to do it otherwise
[14:41] <Eryn_1983_FL>   pcs i mean
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> feder87:  why not use a ubuntu cd/iso ?
[14:42] <Larriv> Dr_Willis, ya i know but xchat has nothing lol
[14:42] <ubuntuser> sam-_-, well yes but it has also a special mode that turns it into a removable disc I need to access the removable disc part because I have stored some files on it
[14:42] <Northwoods> The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
[14:42] <feder87> Dr_willis: I did a netinst so I had it all on the flashdrive
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> Larriv:  xchat has trimmed down its menus over the years.. the homepage has docs on advanced features and adding stuff.
[14:42] <Eryn_1983_FL> now my  mobo  has  sata 3 could it  be  sscrewing up my  drives?!?!
[14:42] <Eryn_1983_FL> i got like  two ports that are  stat  two
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> Eryn_1983_FL:  it could be a bad cable, or controller, if the same issue has been happening to more then 1  drive.
[14:43] <Larriv> Dr_Willis, ok so im gonna go see if there something interting me there
[14:43] <Northwoods> ubuntuser: any idea , how to find out and change which is my default web-directory ?
[14:43] <Eryn_1983_FL> controller on the  mobo ??
[14:43] <danskubr> Hi, how could I save the atual ethernet speed to a txt file?
[14:43] <sam-_-> ubuntuser, ubuntu doesn't seem to know the partition type which is a bad sign. google the device maybe you can find out which filesystem they are using.
[14:43] <llutz_> Northwoods: /var/www most likely
[14:44] <Eryn_1983_FL> different  cables
[14:44] <Northwoods> llutz: any document on how to change it ?
[14:44] <llutz_> Northwoods: config are somewhere under /etc/apache2
[14:44] <r1pp3rj4ck> now I have a new problem, which is a bit more annoying than my other problem is... so I can't install a new package, because it has dependencies... it would be ok, but I can't fix it by using apt-get update --fix-missing, because it exits with this line: E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[14:44] <Northwoods> llutz: to check what version of php have been installed ?
[14:44] <llutz_> Northwoods: /join #httpd         and ask there for apache-things
[14:44] <lwizardl> what application would be good for making video introductions on ubuntu ?
[14:45] <llutz_> Northwoods: apt-cache policy php5
[14:45] <dewdrop_world> sorry i had to come back -- situation again -- i was convinced to "sudo apt-get remove network-manager" which killed all networking in ubuntu -- rebooted and "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" did nothing -- how do I get the wired connection going again so I can install wicd?
[14:45] <st__> join /#c
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> dewdrop_world:  perhaps run  the dhcp client
[14:46] <r1pp3rj4ck> brb
[14:46] <dewdrop_world> thanks dr. willis -- assume i'm an idiot about networking :)
[14:47] <sam-_-> dewdrop_world, try sudo restart networking && sudo ifup eth0
[14:47] <dewdrop_world> @sam : "restart: unknown instance:"
[14:47] <BluesKaj> dewdrop_world,  sudo dhclient eth0, then,  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[14:48] <sam-_-> dewdrop_world, try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart && sudo ifup eth0
[14:49] <dewdrop_world> ah! thanks guys! connected... will reinstall network manager for now just to get back online, deal with wicd tomorrow -- brilliant help!!!
[14:50] <lithpr> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a PC for our new TV to try boxee.  When i put the install disk in, i see the options to install ubuntu, but after that the screen goes white

[14:50] <lithpr> is there a way i can define the resolution before the live-cd boots?

[14:52] <BluesKaj> dewdrop_world, it's not a lot of work, just leave things the way they are for now , no need for nm , the settings are simple aone can avoid nm headaches witht the etc/interfaces setup
[14:53] <lahwran> and what will happen when I kill it and remove execute permission from that file?

[14:55] <rpaisley> What causes cryptsetup to start early on in the boot process?  (I've moved from an encrypted drive to an unencrypted drive and it tries to mount the encrypted drive which doesn't exist).
[14:56] <DaGeek247> kyo: tar -xv example.tar.bz2 -C /path/to/unzipped
[14:56] <Larriv> Dr_Willis, i had
[14:56] <Larriv> Dr_Willis, sorry wrong entry
[14:56] <sam-_-> rpaisley, /etc/crypttab i guess.
[14:57] <sam-_-> rpaisley, sudo update-initramfs after changing sth.
[14:57] <rpaisley> Yeah, update-initramfs sounds reasonable.  It hangs in the initfs
[14:57] <Larriv> Dr_Willis, ive been searching on google and on the xchat official web page, but i'd fine nothing that was interesting do you have some link or idea of script that are very useful
[14:58] <jocrawfo> anyone here familiar with cisco VPNC and routing?  I am able to connect to my VPN but I am unable to access anything after that point, I think it has something to do with the routing
[14:59] <albech> jocrawfo, sounds like you need to route the traffic to your remote site through the vpn tunnel
[14:59] <Larriv> ive been searching on google and on the xchat official web page, but i'd fine nothing that was interesting Anyone!! have some link or idea of script that are very useful???
[14:59] <BluesKaj> Larriv, try #xchat
[15:00] <DaGeek247> Larriv: what kind of script?
[15:00] <jocrawfo> albech, any idea how i would do that?
[15:00] <danskubr> how to check the bandwidth speed and save it to a txt file?
[15:00] <Larriv> DaGeek247, some script that gave me more option, comand in xchat
[15:00] <albech> jocrawfo, what is the network you want to route to on the remote site?
[15:00] <Night_Elf> hi all. How can i connect from my laptop to a remote server through XDMCP? the laptop is running 10.04

[15:03] <BluesKaj> Larriv, yeah, this isn't an xchat support channel , as you probly realize by now :)
[15:04] <jbwiv> guys, on Meerkat I can't hide or remove the bottom gnome-panel. Selecting properties and choosing autohide or show hide buttons makes it flash for a moment, but that's it. Choosing delete in the context menu  does nothing. How can this be fixed? Is there some sort of global lockdown in Meerkat?
[15:04] <ShootEmUp> Hello Everyone!
[15:04] <SnowmanX11> I have a strange experience with skype. Whatever webcam I put o my PC, (10.10 ubuntu) during the video call it cuts the upper 1/4th of the picture from top, put it to the bottom and in the left corner of this strip that puts the selfview.
[15:04] <SnowmanX11> How could it be fixed?
[15:04] <kyo> the google earth ,is there someone installed successfully on ubuntu??
[15:05] <kyo>  i cannt figure it out
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> kyo:  theres repos for it. that make installing it trivial
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> !googleearth
[15:05] <SnowmanX11> I would like to have the selfview within the picture.
[15:05] <younder> kyo, no
[15:05] <rp2> hello *, I'm trying to build an Ubuntu package from source and getting errors, where can I best turn for help?
[15:05] <sg|> I would like to give a root access to one of my users, how can I do ( 10.04 ubuntu ) ?
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> sg|:  use  the sudo'ers method to let them have the sudo rights they need to do.
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> !sudo
[15:06] <albech> jocrawfo, im not sure how to deal with those files
[15:06] <SnowmanX11> sg|: add to the admin groop

[15:06] <BlaDe^> My server time keeps going inaccurate, I updated it a couple of weeks ago and now it's 5minutes behind again
[15:06] <BlaDe^> why would this be?
[15:06] <rp2> user mag?
[15:06] <albech> jocrawfo, it does seem like a routing problem though.. what does your route -n show?
[15:07] <Night_Elf> hi all. How can i connect from my laptop to a remote server through XDMCP? the laptop is running 10.04.
[15:07] <ne2k> BlaDe^: try deleting your ntp drift file and restarting ntp
[15:07] <younder> rp2: www.FullCircleMagazine.com
[15:08] <BlaDe^> ne2k:  where's that ?
[15:08] <BlaDe^> locate ntp | grep drift didn't find it
[15:08] <rp2> Search results for: fix-missing (All Issues)
[15:08] <rp2>   
[15:08] <rp2> No results found.
[15:08] <gobbe> Night_Elf: http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/08/16/Enabling-xdmcp-in-tsclient-for-ubuntu
[15:08] <ne2k> BlaDe^: well, by default it's in /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
[15:08] <younder> rp2: www.ubuntu-user.com
[15:08] <rp2> so I strongly doubt they can help me fix that problem
[15:08] <ne2k> BlaDe^: but the fact that you haven't got one kinda suggests that maybe you don't have NTP
[15:09] <BlaDe^> yeah I don't think I do that folder isn't there
[15:09] <ne2k> BlaDe^: install ntp then
[15:09] <rp2> same for ubuntu-user.com, it returns 1 hit and the returned document is a letter about safe web browsing
[15:09] <BlaDe^> but there is results using locate ntp -- like /var/lib/ntpdate --- and also there's some in dpkg/info
[15:09] <jbwiv> guys, on Meerkat I can't hide or remove the bottom gnome-panel. Selecting properties and choosing autohide or show hide buttons makes it flash for a moment, but that's it. Choosing delete in the context menu  does nothing. How can this be fixed? Is there some sort of global lockdown in Meerkat?
[15:09] <BlaDe^> okay ntpd is installed+started ne2k  -- let me read the man page
[15:10] <jbwiv> I've checked /apps/panel/global and it doesn't have locked_down set
[15:10] <ne2k> BlaDe^: you need to specify some sensible servers
[15:10] <younder> rp2: http://www.fullcirclemagazine.org/
[15:10] <Night_Elf> gobbe: thanks. I'll check  that
[15:10] <BlaDe^> ne2k:  can you suggest some?
[15:10] <ne2k> BlaDe^: 0.uk.pool.ntp.org, 1.uk.pool.ntp.org, 2.uk.pool.ntp.org is what I use. set them all the iburst and dynamic
[15:11] <ne2k> BlaDe^: if you're not in the UK, adjust to suit
[15:11] <BlaDe^> okay ----- and that's in the drift file?
[15:11] <ne2k> BlaDe^: see here for servers http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers
[15:11] <BlaDe^> alright - thanks ne2k  :)
[15:12] <ne2k> BlaDe^: no, that's in the /etc/ntp.conf file
[15:12] <ne2k> BlaDe^: I think there's a gui config in ubuntu

[15:12] <patriot12112> Hi everyone, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, but after restarting my pc, the last version doesn't show up on grub, any solutioins?
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> patriot12112:  last version?
[15:12] <BlaDe^> ne2k:  this is on my server not my desktop -- i guess the desktop comes with ntp as default
[15:12] <patriot12112> Using update-grub detects it
[15:13] <ne2k> BlaDe^: probably not
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> patriot12112:  You mean a new upddated kernel 'version' ?
[15:13] <ne2k> BlaDe^: I just always install it so have probably forgotten that it's not default
[15:13] <patriot12112> Last version yeah 10.10
[15:13] <patriot12112> No, new ubuntu version, with the kernel that comes with it
[15:13] <BlaDe^> ne2k:  should I keep ntp.ubuntu.com ?
[15:13] <rp2> younder: I already searched there. it's useless
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> patriot12112:  so yopu have ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 both installed?
[15:13] <ne2k> no, do 0.pool.ntp.org, 1. and 2.
[15:14] <patriot12112> I have three versions of Ubuntu installed yes.
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> patriot12112:  only ONE handles the grub..  You sh ould update-grub int he one thats handling that.. I cant see the point in isntalling 3 versions of ubuntu really. :)
[15:14] <patriot12112> Found Ubuntu 10.10 (10.10) on /dev/sdb4   update-grub just said that
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> patriot12112:  could be one of the other versions is handling grub then.
[15:14] <patriot12112> I did it, but it still doesn't show anything about the new version
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> patriot12112:  you could do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' perhaps.
[15:15] <rp2> younder: you're spamming.
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> patriot12112:  what other ubuntus do you have installed? 10.04 > or are you refering to klubuntu/ubuntu/xubuntu ?
[15:15] <patriot12112> I have Ubuntu 9.04, 10.04, and I just installed 10.10 using the CD.
[15:15] <gobbe> patriot12112: what is your idea to have three installations?-)
[15:16] <patriot12112> Is there maybe a limit on how many entries grub handles?
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> patriot12112:  its likely that 9.04 is handlign the grub 1, and is not seeing the other versions.
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> grub1 dosent auto-see all the ubuntu versions last i tried it.
[15:16] <patriot12112> I used Update-grub on 10.04, it's using grub2 right?
[15:16] <BlaDe^> great it's working - thanks ne2k
[15:16] <DBoyz> okay
[15:16] <DBoyz> where's mr. rusty
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> if you boot the 10.10, and try 'sudo update-grub' or 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and tell it to isntall the the mbr of the hd you are booting. it 'should' show them all.
[15:17] <DBoyz> tell him that his method fails too
[15:17] <ne2k> BlaDe^: you can run ntpq -pn from the command line to make sure it's locking on -- look for the asterisk in the first column
[15:17] <patriot12112> Yeah
[15:17]  * Dr_Willis has to run.. bbl
[15:17] <Night_Elf> gobbe: well, xnest seems to crash on my machine after some 30-40 seconds of runtime. But I wonder where is the option of using a remote xdmcp connection at the login screen?
[15:17] <DBoyz> all i got was a blinking underscore
[15:17] <DBoyz> nothing else
[15:18] <patriot12112> I think my the 10.04 actually detects 10.10, but the update-grub that was taken into account was only the 9.04 one
[15:18] <BlaDe^> ne2k: yup all working fine
[15:18] <patriot12112> That's why there was no update, it's using an older grub version
[15:19] <DBoyz> i hope there's someone paying attention to me
[15:19]  * DBoyz dislikes waiting for 30 mins
[15:20] <DaGeek247> DBoyz: lolz
[15:20] <DBoyz> DaGeek247: what's so funny?
[15:20] <DBoyz> i have more than 6 fail trials of installing ubuntu
[15:20] <DBoyz> each has its own story
[15:20] <DaGeek247> DBoys: nothingg, what do you need help with?
[15:21] <gobbe> Night_Elf: to be honest, i cannot give you sure answer :/
[15:21] <ne2k> DBoyz: that's because linux is a piece of crap and Windows rules the world, man!
[15:21] <g[r]eek> Hi how do i install adobe flash player?
[15:21] <gobbe> Night_Elf: i haven't used xdmcp so much
[15:21] <g[r]eek> Running ubuntu 10.10
[15:21] <DBoyz> and this one is: no error but only blinking underscores
[15:21] <DaGeek247> DBoys: pm me. i will tryto help.
[15:21] <patriot12112> Ubuntu > Windows. Enuff' said.
[15:21] <Night_Elf> gobbe: i am checking around for that too. Seems like ubuntu has modified gdm to NOT have the xdmcp option... :/
[15:21] <ne2k> g[r]eek: install flashplugin-installer

[15:22] <DBoyz> does that help?
[15:22] <ne2k> g[r]eek: from multiverse
[15:22] <Whosisthis> can anyone suggest a better powermanagement program than the default one in ubuntu?
[15:22] <Nach0z> hey i've got a question: Is there a way for me to make the Ubuntu install disk only copy the files over without actually installing the OS immediately?
[15:22] <gobbe> Night_Elf: that might be true
[15:22] <crawler> hello.  i need some help with my laptop's wireless connection.  before yesterday, the wireless would always start up automatically at boot.  but for some reason now i have to press the hardware button (( i )) to start the wireless. any ideas?
[15:22] <Hans_Henrik> i ran a full update (had not updated in 37 days) on my wubi install, and when i enter grub, i see like a quarter of a second some text (looks like "unknown command something"), and instantly reboots the computer.. i cannot even enter the list of kernels to boot... any idea how i can fix it without having to loose everything on the wubi install?
[15:22] <Night_Elf> gobbe: if that is true they deserve to have their as$es kicked....

[15:22] <Whosisthis> crawler for me the hardware button just turns off the wifi, you must right click the connection in the top right and enable wifi then dont touch the hardware button
[15:23] <g[r]eek> ne2k, thanks
[15:23] <acicula> Night_Elf: tl;dr no xdmcp with gdm

[15:23] <Whosisthis> can anyone help me with power management?
[15:24] <ne2k> Whosisthis: just ask your question.
[15:24] <crawler> Whoisthis, wireless is always enabled (has a check mark next to it).  the problem is every time i boot, i must press the hardware button in order for it to connect.
[15:24] <Migaaresno> What is the difference between the "chroot" program i have now and the "dchroot" daemon in "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot"? And why does in seems both need root acces?
[15:25] <Whosisthis> ic thats not the same as my problem never mind :P
[15:25] <phaized> I need kernel headers for 2.6.34.6-xxxx-grs-ipv6-32 Where will i find these? I am running Server 10.04. Thanks in advance.
[15:25] <Whosisthis> i fixed the wifi tho
[15:25] <Night_Elf> acicula: I see. But its odd, I use it from my debian machines quite flawlessly....  I wonder if it is a gdm or a gdm-in-ubuntu issue
[15:25] <Whosisthis> i need a suggestion for a powermanagement program, im on a laptop and the default one is not sufficent
[15:25] <g[r]eek> ne2k, is that just the installer?
[15:25] <sresu> Whosisthis: powertop
[15:26] <Whosisthis> i have that
[15:26] <sresu> Whosisthis: Which default application you are talking about?
[15:26] <Whosisthis> its ok but im need one i can make better power profiles like super power save ect, instead of just on battery or plugged in
[15:26] <Whosisthis> im talking a bout the power management thats in the administration menu
[15:26] <ne2k> g[r]eek: is it not allowed for ubuntu to host the actual binary of adobe flash on their servers, so the package downloads it from adobe.com and installs it; that's why it's called "installer". the effect is the same, though
[15:27] <Whosisthis> ive tried powertop its not that great
[15:27] <My-Computer> im running on meerkat upgraded from lucid recently the touchpad started acting up the mouse moves but cant click on anything. this happens periodicaly usually for 20 minutes after boot time can i get a link on how to fix this so i can go to it when my mouse is working

[15:28] <sg|> I have just install gnome desktop on to my ubuntu 10.04 ( LTS minimal system on my dedicated server) and I also install neatx for GUI RMT. they are working fine but when I go to System>Administration>Networking It is empty ? how is that possible even I have on RMT connection to server
[15:28] <sresu> Whosisthis: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/81/
[15:28] <sg|> sorry for RMT --> RMT should be remote desktop
[15:29] <coz_> sg|,   did you install gnome-desktop  or  ubuntu-destop?
[15:29] <sg|> coz_ not sure how to check it ?
[15:29] <coz_> sg|,   well just  run   sudo apt-get install  ubuntu-desktop
[15:29] <ne2k> sg|: configure the networking with /etc/network/interfaces for a server
[15:29] <ne2k> coz_: or not
[15:30] <ne2k> ubuntu-desktop includes a whole flaming office suite, that's hardly necessary for a server
[15:30] <Whosisthis> sresu looks promising ill try it
[15:30] <sg|> ne2k I want to configure it via GUI
[15:30] <acicula> Night_Elf: if im reading the ubuntu bug report right it was an issue in gdm itself that broke support, its now fixed and the fixed code will be included in ubuntu 11.04, but not patched into 10.10, but maybe there is a backport available?
[15:30] <ne2k> sg|: well, if you don't care about space, the easiest thing to do is, as coz_ says, install ubuntu-desktop
[15:31] <sg|> coz_ I made it  sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[15:31] <sg|> I install like this
[15:31] <sg|> I am on ubuntu desktop
[15:31] <gaurav__> how install wget in my ubuntu 10.10
[15:31] <coz_> sg|,  ok  then I would assume most of the gui applicatons have been installed
[15:31] <ne2k> gaurav__: sudo apt-get install wget # duh
[15:31] <sg|> coz_ yes they are installed
[15:32] <Night_Elf> acicula: I am reading the same things, basically. I will see if there will be any backport options. Anyhow, my laptop has 10.04 as it is a lts release. So i will see what could be done for that
[15:33] <sg|> coz_ I have installed ubuntu-desktop. why System>Administration>Network Connections is empty
[15:33] <gaurav__> where i get wget commands
[15:33] <lukafulmine> hi, why when i play a video with vlc, the screen wille be black for less than 1 second and after this the film will be played normally????can anyone answer to my question
[15:33] <iceroot> gaurav__: man wget
[15:33] <red2kic> gaurav__: "wget --help" or "man wget"  -- You usually do it like this -- "wget http://url.com/zomg.iso'
[15:33] <splnet> I just installed network-manager. It says "Networking disabled". Any ideas what could cause this? Is it a dbus problem?
[15:34] <Night_Elf> acicula: i only use lts releases. I dont have time and nerve to install every release there appears.
[15:34] <coz_> sg|,   mm   well   I have to break here  so I am going to hand you off the people in here who know much more than I do
[15:34] <rpaisley> how do I disable initrd's attempt to mount an encrypted drive which no longer exists?
[15:35] <jbwiv> I've checked /apps/panel/global and it doesn't have locked_down set
[15:35] <lukafulmine> hi, why when i play a video with vlc, the screen wille be black for less than 1 second and after this the film will be played normally????can anyone answer to my question
[15:35] <red2kic> rpaisley: Check /etc/fstab, I guess. Or /etc/crpyt*something
[15:35] <jbwiv> guys, on Meerkat I can't hide or remove the bottom gnome-panel. Selecting properties and choosing autohide or show hide buttons makes it flash for a moment, but that's it.

[15:35] <sg|> I have just install ubuntu desktop on to my ubuntu 10.04 ( LTS minimal system on my dedicated server) and I also install neatx for GUI RMT. they are working fine but when I go to System>Administration>Network Connection It is empty ? how is that possible even I am on Remote desktop control on that computer.
[15:36] <red2kic> jbwiv: You can't remove the last panel.
[15:36] <gobbe> jbwiv: autohide works fine in my installation
[15:36] <NTQ> Hi there. I need help in capturing the video signal of a firewire webcam. After plugging the camera in dmesg shows this: http://pastebin.com/W9yUB14b . Programs like skype, cheese, Kino or vlc doesn't find a camera.
[15:36] <compdoc> sg|, on mine, its System>Preferences>Network Connections, and its also empty. But the network works
[15:37] <Night_Elf> jbwiv: i would think it is a graphic card driver issue. You see, i use a mouse hich is black, as oposed to the default white one. After installing the nvidia drivers, no matter what, it always uses the default white one.
[15:37] <rpaisley> red2kic: I've removed all references to the encrypted disks in /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab.  I've even updated the initrdfs files which existed when the encrypted drive existed.
[15:37] <sg|> compdoc isn't it a bug ?
[15:37] <Night_Elf> jbwiv: (mouse pointer which is black)
[15:37] <sg|> compdoc I would like to add another ip with GUI use
[15:37] <aclonedsheep> Hi, I have a Foxconn NT330i, Intel Atom / NVIDIA ION -- running ubuntu 10.10 x64, enabled nvidia drivers...HDMI sound wont work, HDMI video works fine.  Ive had trouble googling a fix, any help or ideas?
[15:37] <sg|> how to do than ?
[15:38] <jbwiv> red2kic, it's not the last panel
[15:38] <red2kic> rpaisley: You might have lucky with #lvm -- even although it is a tad offtopic. They might know about it.
[15:38] <jbwiv> gobbe: yeah, I was afraid it's specific to me. I wonder if I need to blow away my gnome settings
[15:39] <red2kic> rpaisley: Maybe it is trying to mount lvm2 partitions?
[15:39] <compdoc> sg|, I think it doesnt use that program. Is that the network-manager? I usually disable that service. You could try adding connections in there and see what happens
[15:39] <red2kic> !panel | jbwiv
[15:39] <red2kic> !panels | jbwiv
[15:39] <red2kic> jbwiv: Just a thought. :)
[15:39] <sg|> compdoc so I need to install a package which is called network-manager right ?
[15:40] <jbwiv> red2kic, Yeah, I'll give that a shot. thanks
[15:41] <compdoc> sg|, Im not sure how Ubuntu works with network-manager
[15:41] <splnet> Is anyone familiar with how to migrate your system to use Network-manager from static configuration? I just installed network-manager - it says networking disabled
[15:41] <jbwiv> red2kic, that did the trick. thanks!
[15:41] <red2kic> jbwiv: Glad to hear that. ;o

[16:14] <skutr3> gobbe: well ive installed this beforw
[16:14] <amouge[work]> if I want to run a php file as a cron tab, do i need to do the /usr/bin/php /path/to/my/php in quotes?
[16:15] <iceroot> amouge[work]: no
[16:15] <gobbe> skutr3: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/i386/minimum-hardware-reqts.html in fact
[16:15] <amouge[work]> because it seems that my crontab isnt running, this is what i have: */10 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/main/cron.php
[16:15] <skutr3> gobbe: i have all of those minimum requirements to
[16:15] <skutr3> *too
[16:15] <gobbe> skutr3: it says 5 gigabytes
[16:15] <gobbe> skutr3: and you don't now have that
[16:15] <Kruptein> erUSUL: but I don't have an internet connection on the other pc,  and the option under File in synaptic is generate "download script"
[16:16] <skutr3> gobbe: how? i intsalled this before
[16:16] <gobbe> skutr3: well, it says 5 gigabytes, i cannot say why it says that :)
[16:16] <erUSUL> Kruptein: the download script is for a linux computer with internet access
[16:16] <skutr3> gobbe this is stupid
[16:16] <shashi> hi.....how  any one cn tel me how to convert live installed fedora into full dvd os
[16:16] <shashi> plz......
[16:16] <shashi> help me..?
[16:16] <skutr3> gobbe: i had ubuntu on my pc yesterday
[16:16] <gobbe> skutr3: you could try that, just add more free space and see
[16:17] <Kruptein> erUSUL: so I would use the download script to download the packages to a usb and then transfer them?
[16:17] <gobbe> skutr3: did you install with same cd?
[16:17] <st__> shashi, into what?
[16:17] <erUSUL> Kruptein: then you copy over the deb files to the ubuntu machine that has no internet and install them via terminal « sudo dpkg -i *.deb »
[16:17] <skutr3> gobbe: yes
[16:17] <erUSUL> Kruptein: yes with usb disk or something like that
[16:17] <shashi> i want fedora 14 wid full packages
[16:17] <skutr3> gobbe: and idk how i partitioned last time
[16:18] <compdoc> shashi, you in the right channel?
[16:18] <SoftarPaul> I've tried to connect the emailnotification to my Hotmail. But I just get the error that it can't run "GetLive"
[16:18] <st__> shashi, define'full'
[16:18] <skutr3> gobbe: the partition menu thing was different
[16:18] <shashi> sir i hav installed fedora 14 by live cd
[16:18] <gobbe> skutr3: i think it was because you didn't have the epty partition then?
[16:18] <shashi> its not having all packages
[16:18] <Kruptein> erUSUL: one problem if I do that it generates an empty file   (only  #/bin/sh is written to the file)
[16:18] <gobbe> shashi: #fedora
[16:18] <gobbe> shashi: this is not fedora-support
[16:18] <skutr3> gobbe: well then what am i supposed to do?
[16:19] <st__> shashi, you need local repository?
[16:19] <breadcrumb> !fedora | shashi
[16:19] <shashi> how cn i get them by net
[16:19] <gobbe> skutr3: well. did you have the empty partition last time?
[16:19] <breadcrumb> shashi, /join #fedora
[16:19] <skutr3> gobbe: idk
[16:19] <breadcrumb> shashi: this is an ubuntu support channel
[16:19] <gobbe> skutr3: maybe it's bug in installer, that it could fit to less than 5 gigabytes but it needs that still
[16:20] <skutr3> gobbe: i ran out of cds
[16:20] <skutr3> so  i cant redownload installer
[16:20] <skutr3> gobbe: you know what fuck this
[16:21] <erUSUL> Kruptein: then you already have all you need installed? dunno what is the original situation

[16:21] <skutr3> FUCK
[16:21] <Kruptein> erUSUL: the situation is that I have a pc without internet which needs to get all the packages that come with ubuntu-desktop
[16:22] <Goliath> hey
[16:22] <Kruptein> and I have a working pc (with ubuntu-desktop) aside
[16:22] <Goliath> is this patch any good?

[16:22] <phaized>  I need kernel headers for 2.6.34.6-xxxx-grs-ipv6-32 Where will i find these? I am running Server 10.04. Thanks in advance.
[16:23] <Kruptein> erUSUL: the site is handy but I'm not going to download each deb seperately, it are immensively many, can't I download them all at once?  (ubottu.com/ljl/apt...
[16:23] <david506> I have two Ubuntu machines with three monitors ( 2 on 1, 1 on the other ). Presently I use Synergy to move the mouse back and forth, but I can't move windows between them. Can I setup X on the machine with 1 monitor to act as a third monitor to the machine with two monitors? X forwarding or something? The machines are linked together with a 100mbps connection
[16:24] <erUSUL> Kruptein: works here
[16:24] <Kruptein> erUSUL: can you mail me the file? or is it to big
[16:24] <erUSUL> Kruptein: the synaptic way. you mark the package for install it ask to mark all the packages it depends on you say yes then you go File>Generate dl script
[16:25] <Kruptein> erUSUL: even if you have already installed the package it is possible? :p
[16:25] <erUSUL> Kruptein: i tried with xubuntu-desktop becouse i already have ubuntu-desktop installed
[16:25] <Kruptein> erUSUL: well that's the problem...
[16:25] <erUSUL> Kruptein: you already have ubuntu-desktop installed?
[16:26] <hozeHoze1> got dc-ed again -.-, did any1 answered on: hi all, strange problem, i have 2 ubuntu boxes, one 10.04, one 10.10 on a local network, i'm trying to connect them to vpn, if one is connected the other one cannot connect. i have another box with winblows xp and shrew soft vpn, the winblows box is connecting regardless if one ubuntu is connected to the vpn, so it should't be a vpn server problem but local problem, any ideas?
[16:26] <Kruptein> erUSUL: on the internet pc,  the one without internet not,  but the one without internet doesn't have a gui=>no synaptic
[16:27] <avinnako> hi
[16:27] <Kruptein> erUSUL: okay I marked ubuntu-desktop as "reinstall" and could fetch the packages this way! thanks anyway your solution helped me a lot
[16:27] <c0nsense> Hi! I'm creating an machine for security tests, ubuntu 8.04 and i need kno how install old apps. for example install exim 4.63 and other.. sounds like a backports?
[16:27] <erUSUL> Kruptein: i would download the apropiate alternatecd for the version of ubuntu add it as source ( see apt-cdrom help ) to the machine and install ubuntu-desktop with apt-get
[16:28] <STALKER> hello
[16:28] <STALKER>  :)
[16:28] <Kruptein> erUSUL: okay
[16:28] <Kruptein> I have disks here so no need to download them :)
[16:29] <erUSUL> Kruptein: alternatecd is not the same as desktopcd and is the only one that can be used as apt source
[16:29] <rubbs> Anyone else having issues with upstart not starting various services on an OpenVZ guest install? usually after a reboot.
[16:29] <c0nsense> someone?
[16:29] <Kruptein> erUSUL: ow :(
[16:29] <erUSUL> !alternate | Kruptein
[16:30] <c0nsense> please.
[16:30] <re182> Hey all, I was having problems installing the drivers for my Samsung qx410 laptop
[16:30] <IdleOne> c0nsense: you can probably download the deb from packages.ubuntu.com for older versions of applications. backports is used for newer versions of an application that have been ported backwards to a older release of Ubuntu.
[16:30] <re182> Anyone have any reccomendations on how to install the drivers?
[16:31] <erUSUL> re182: which drivers?
[16:31] <c0nsense> IdleOne: thanks!
[16:31] <Tohuw> What's the default password for the 10.10 livecd? It's not "ubuntu" anymore...
[16:31] <IdleOne> c0nsense: you realize that you install older app versions at your own risk and understand the security risks.
[16:31] <AbhiJit> c0nsense, http://www.oldapps.com/linux/
[16:32] <leo_> lares
[16:32] <re182> they are either intel advanced-n 6250N
[16:32] <re182> or
[16:33] <re182> Marvell Yukon 88E8059
[16:33] <erUSUL> Tohuw: it has been empty password for along time in livecd ...
[16:33] <STALKER> there are people from America
[16:33] <Tohuw> erUSUL: that didn't work either. Trying to open gparted in the live cd, and it rejects a blank password....
[16:34] <erUSUL> Tohuw: « sudo gparted »
[16:34] <Hypoglybetic> Good morning Internets
[16:35] <Hypoglybetic> Can anyone help me with a very slow FireFox ?
[16:35] <Tohuw> erUSUL: ah. Now why does that work but gksu doesn't?
[16:35] <Tohuw> erUSUL: does gksu not allow blank passwords or something?
[16:36] <erUSUL> Tohuw: well i dunno; but i do remember having problems with gksu(do) in livecd so i do not use it. being the livecd it does not matter if we do not follow the norms ...
[16:36] <Tohuw> erUSUL: fair enough. well, sudo gparted worked just fine, so thanks
[16:36] <erUSUL> Tohuw: no problem
[16:37] <numberto> Running flash game in chrome makes my CPU go up to about 90% and stays like that.

[16:39] <Hypoglybetic> AbhiJit I am not having a preformance problem I am having a connection issue.  I can get to google.com in an instant.  However when I try to search it takes MINUTES to load/bring up a web page.
[16:39] <Kruptein> is there a possible way to do the "synaptic" add a cd-rom from command-line? :p
[16:39] <evilbug> would i be able to copy files from an hdd with a gparted live disc?
[16:39] <AbhiJit> Hypoglybetic, u ddnt said 'connection problem' u said help with 'SLOW' firefox

[16:40] <Hypoglybetic> AbhiJit, My apologies, the problem is that it is very slow in loading web pages.

[16:41] <Kruptein> erUSUL: side question,  if I do recovery modus in the boot menu, do I loose any file? :s
[16:41] <Kruptein> probably yes :(
[16:42] <matttttt> hey alls. is there a way to boot ubuntu into root mode by setting a flag on the boot loader?
[16:42] <erUSUL> Kruptein: nope
[16:42] <mavmeer> how do i set the root password?
[16:42] <matttttt> mavmeer passwd
[16:42] <ne2k> matttttt: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/
[16:42] <erUSUL> mavmeer: use the recovery mode in the grub menu. choose drop to root shell. done
[16:42] <kj_d> i have compiled pidgin on kubuntu 10.04 and I wanted to install the package pidgin-otr but everytime I try to install it it installs the repository pidgin with it
[16:42] <erUSUL> !root | mavmeer
[16:42] <Steve973> hi.  I was wondering where I can configure how apt automatically gets an update to let me know that updates are available
[16:42] <ne2k> mavmeer: you're not supposed to have a root password
[16:43] <Kruptein> erUSUL: nope? so all your files are kept :D awesome no need to do the alternate thing;  but wait what does this mode do? only fix system errors or...?
[16:43] <mavmeer> ok thanks everyone
[16:43] <erUSUL> Kruptein: it gives a few options the more usefull is to enter single mode ( root command line )
[16:43] <mavmeer> bye
[16:43] <ne2k> Steve973: apt doesn't automatically do anything. are you talking about update manager?
[16:44] <matttttt> perfect ty
[16:44] <Kruptein> erUSUL: okay I removed ubuntu-desktop and some gnome files will they be restored if I do the recovery mode or not?
[16:44] <kj_d> anyway to install just one package without the dependencies and recommends?
[16:44] <erUSUL> Kruptein: no
[16:44] <Steve973> ne2k, I wasn't implying that apt did something automatically.  I'm wondering what periodically performs an apt-get update and notifies me when I log in when there are updates.
[16:44] <AbhiJit> kj_d, get it from packages.ubuntu.com
[16:44] <snowrichard> i have an android tablet that is supposed to be able to connect to ubuntu pc with usb cable.  I read somewhere that it needs a udev rule with the device id codes, bu t I have no idea what the code is.
[16:44] <Da_Rhyno> Hey... does anyone know how I can move the Trash to my desktop?
[16:44] <ne2k> kj_d: you can't install it without the dependencies, that would be foolish. if you really must, and you really know what you're doing, you shoudln't have to ask that question
[16:45] <snowrichard> I got around the problem by debugging on an emulator then putting the android tablet .pck on my web server and downloading it.
[16:45] <kj_d> AbhiJit, I tried that but somehow it installs the dependencies again
[16:45] <Da_Rhyno> I can't drag it via my computer to the desktop...
[16:45] <erUSUL> Da_Rhyno: in gconf-editor ... apps>nautilus>desktop||show trash icon
[16:45] <AbhiJit> kj_d, as all said above you cant do that
[16:45] <Da_Rhyno> Thanks!
[16:46] <kj_d> so if you compile a program and need something from the repository that goes with it you are stuck with the repository version
[16:46] <Redswiss> Evening
[16:46] <Da_Rhyno> where's gconf-editor at?
[16:46] <rubbs> snowrichard: if you are trying to use your tablet as a tether you do, but if you're just trying to transfer files, you should be able to just plug it in and it should be recognized as a mass storage.
[16:46] <AbhiJit> kj_d, what you actually want to do?
[16:46] <Redswiss> Is there a file system than can be read by both Ubuntu and Mac OS X?
[16:46] <Da_Rhyno> I'm sorry, I'm still new to Ubuntu OS...
[16:47] <ne2k> Steve973: that'd be apt
[16:47] <kj_d> AbhiJit, I compiled pidgin v. 2.7.9 and I'm trying to use some packages for it from the repo
[16:47] <ne2k> Steve973: gets called by cron, afaik
[16:47] <snowrichard> no device shows up in lsusb
[16:47] <snowrichard> even after I turned on USB debug on the tablet
[16:47] <Steve973> ne2k, that's not happening for me
[16:47] <sipior> Redswiss: sure, both can read ntfs, as well as hfs+.
[16:48] <snowrichard> i don't know if there's a setting to enable usb storage on the tablet side
[16:48] <AbhiJit> kj_d, i dont understand. i mean then just get those packages and install them ??
[16:48] <ne2k> Steve973: go to system->administration->update manager->settings
[16:48] <Redswiss> sipior, it seemed Linux had trouble reading my HD, at least permissions-wise, but that seems to make sense actually
[16:48] <Steve973> ne2k, I run ubuntu 10.10 server.  I don't run a gui
[16:49] <Redswiss> Ah well
[16:49] <ne2k> Steve973: you could try this: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/10/07/automatic-updates-ubuntu-all-versions/
[16:49] <snowrichard> its cool... I don't have to have the usb debugging anyway, can put the new packages to my server and download them with wifi.
[16:49] <Hypoglybetic> numberto, Abhijit now I can't connect to web pages at all.  Also, I can't install Chromium. :/
[16:49] <rubbs> snowrichard: Hrm... that's strange. When I plug in my android phone, I get a prompt to turn it into a storage device (prompt is on the phone) then it shows up. After I'm done I unmount from Ubuntu and turn off the storage function on the phone. I'm wondering why you aren't getting that.
[16:49] <Da_Rhyno> where's gconf-editor?
[16:49] <Django> Hey everyone, i have some problems with my flash plugin within chrome. On youtube, i can't play the video. Any idea ?
[16:49] <ne2k> Steve973: does /etc/cron.daily/apt exist?
[16:49] <Da_Rhyno> nvm
[16:49] <snowrichard> no such prompt
[16:49] <Charbel> hi anyone can help me ? i want to know how to add content to apache web server ?
[16:49] <kj_d> AbhiJit, I downloaded the package I wanted from ubuntu package search but somehow it installs the older version of pidgin as well
[16:49] <snowrichard> and don't know if there's a setting somewhere to enable
[16:50] <kj_d> AbhiJit, dont know how or why this happens
[16:50] <Steve973> ne2k, yes
[16:50] <rubbs> snowrichard: I'll check, but I'm not an expert on Android
[16:50] <AbhiJit> Hypoglybetic, oh sad. i dont have any idea wait and see if someone knows solution
[16:50] <Da_Rhyno> Thanks!
[16:50] <numberto> Hypoglybetic:  What did you do?
[16:50] <AbhiJit> kj_d, how many dependencies are there?
[16:50] <Hypoglybetic> numberto, I followe the link that you gave me.  It didn't seem to help.  I thne rebooted.  I have both NICs plugged into my router, could that cause a problem?
[16:51] <numberto> Hypoglybetic:  Do you get any error messages, what type of connection do you have?
[16:51] <Hypoglybetic> numberto, The server at google.com is taking too long to respond
[16:51] <Redswiss> Does the Linux version of Doom 3 run on PPC?
[16:51] <AbhiJit> kj_d, i think you should have a look here http://www.getdeb.net/software/Pidgin
[16:51] <kj_d> AbhiJit, just the old pidgin package
[16:51] <Charbel> hi anyone can help me ? i want to know how to add content to apache web server ?
[16:52] <rubbs> snowrichard: I'm not sure, maybe you could try #android?
[16:52] <mavmeer> where are temporary files stored on the computer when say you watch a video on youtube?
[16:52] <AbhiJit> kj_d, http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/10.04/?q=pidgin
[16:52] <mavmeer> in 10.10
[16:52] <ne2k> mavmeer: depends on the browser
[16:52] <mavmeer> firefox
[16:52] <st__> hozeHoze1, no, you had time to misspell windows, but had none to describe your problem
[16:52] <AbhiJit> mavmeer, /tmp
[16:52] <AbhiJit> ne2k, no
[16:52] <BluesKaj> Hypoglybetic, why do you have 2 NICs connected from one pc ?
[16:52] <ne2k> mavmeer: ~/.mozilla-firefox/cache... try there
[16:52] <mavmeer> ok thanks
[16:52] <ne2k> AbhiJit: pardon?
[16:52] <AbhiJit> mavmeer, all youtube video by defaults go to /tmp
[16:52] <snowrichard> my other android device, an htc aria does have the prompt and it opened as a disk asking if I wanted to run photo manager
[16:53] <AbhiJit> ne2k, it doesnt depend on broswer
[16:53] <Hypoglybetic> BlueKaj Because i wish to host virtual servers and through "Why the hell not?"
[16:53] <Hypoglybetic> BlueKaj thought*
[16:54] <ne2k> AbhiJit: firefox stores cache in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache/, chrome stores cache in ~/.cache/google-chrome/Cache/, QED
[16:54] <BluesKaj> Hypoglybetic, so you have 2 satic IPs in etc/network/interfaces
[16:54] <BluesKaj> static IPs
[16:54] <ne2k> AbhiJit: don't make superior sounding statement about things when you are wrong
[16:54] <AbhiJit> ne2k, right but you can find youtube video in /tmp easily thats default location for all browser.
[16:54] <Hypoglybetic> BlueKaj Yes, they're connected into a Hub which is connected into my FIOS router-- this PC is also connected into the hub.
[16:54] <AbhiJit> ne2k, i am not wrong
[16:55] <AbhiJit> ne2k, i download hundres of video daily in this way
[16:55] <AbhiJit> from /tmp
[16:55] <BluesKaj> Hypoglybetic,  are both NICs ethernet ?
[16:56] <Hypoglybetic> BlueKaj What else could they be?
[16:56] <Kruptein> If I do apt-cdrom add   I get Nonexisting file /media/apt/dists/maverick/restricted/binary-i386/Packages
[16:56] <ne2k> AbhiJit: I just did a directory listing of /tmp/ before and after playing a video on youtube and no new file has been created in there
[16:56] <Hypoglybetic> BlueKaj That seems like a trick question to me. lol
[16:56] <Kruptein> erUSUL: ^^
[16:56] <AbhiJit> ne2k, ammm i am using lucid you?
[16:57] <AbhiJit> and i checked with my system right now and it is there
[16:57] <ne2k> AbhiJit: I am using Maverick
[16:57] <BluesKaj> Hypoglybetic, there are some wifi adapters that work off NICs , altho I've never seen any...I had to ask :)
[16:57] <ne2k> AbhiJit: using google chrome browser
[16:57] <AbhiJit> ammm
[16:57] <AbhiJit> ....
[16:57] <ne2k> AbhiJit: with adobe flash plugin
[16:57] <AbhiJit> dunno if they have changed this in maverick then.
[16:57] <Hypoglybetic> BlueKaj They are hard wired NICs, gigabit.
[16:58] <ne2k> AbhiJit: so, maybe "it depends" wasn't that stupid an answer after all?
[16:58] <AbhiJit> but here in lucid right now i am having youtube video running in chromium in my /tmp
[16:58] <AbhiJit> ne2k, no
[16:58] <AbhiJit> ne2k, it wasnt
[16:58] <ne2k> AbhiJit: thank you
[16:59] <BluesKaj> Hypoglybetic, so there's no room on your router for a direct connection , you have to use a hub ?
[16:59] <Hypoglybetic> BluesKaj The router is in the other room, and I hate WiFi. :)
[17:00] <BluesKaj> ?
[17:00] <lamik> Hello, where can i find vmware .deb?
[17:00] <AbhiJit> ne2k, it depepnds on the version of the ubuntu not the which browser yoou are using
[17:00] <Hypoglybetic> BluesKaj The hub is also gigabit which allows much faster transfers between my 2 PCS - it helps when you play a game over a virtualized OS (such as ESXi)
[17:00] <jrib> !vmware | lamik
[17:00] <ne2k> AbhiJit: you have not conclusively proved this. it may depend on the flash plugin, and the browser, and other things
[17:01]  * AbhiJit gave up
[17:02] <lamik> thx
[17:02] <Aragon6980> hi
[17:04] <Jemt> Hi. How can I disable the workspace switcher using gconf-editor ? I can't seem to find a key allowing me to either disable it or change the number of desktops to 1
[17:04] <Jemt> A package name would actually be better - then I can simply uninstall it
[17:05] <st__> Jemt, workspaces are intrinsic
[17:05] <bonjoyee> Jemt: right click > preferences?
[17:06] <Jemt> st__: Okay. But it must be possible to change the number of desktops to 1
[17:06] <Jemt> bonjoyee: I need to be able to change it using gconf. Then I can change it using the XML files underneath gconf

[17:07] <bonjoyee> Jemt: /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces
[17:07] <eviljames> I'm trying to put Ubuntu Studio 10.10 onto my lvm, but the initramfs continuously fails for me.  Is there some special magic I should know about mkinitramfs and/or update-initramfs ?
[17:07] <Jemt> bonjoyee: Tried that, doesn't work. I still got 4 desktops after changing the value to 1
[17:07] <Jemt> bonjoyee: I even restarted X
[17:07] <Cpt_Zyph> guys im stumped.. im at a work network with only wifi access.. i installed ubuntu 10.10 on the dell mini in questino with a BCM wifi adapter but i have no ability to plug it in and do an update .. is there anything i can do from my current machine to update this or get the wifi working?
[17:07] <eviljames> For example, Slackware's mkinitrd has specific options for md raid and lvm
[17:07] <bonjoyee> Jemt: might be restoring it..
[17:08] <Jemt> bonjoyee: Possibly :-/
[17:08] <eviljames> Cpt_Zyph: best bet: get a copy of the package on a jump drive.
[17:08] <BluesKaj> Hypoglybetic, are you using network manager ?
[17:08] <st__> Cpt_Zyph, you probably need firmeare package
[17:08] <Cpt_Zyph> eviljames that is an option .. i dont how ever knwo the package im looking for atm.. 8/ i have never done that still learning..
[17:09] <Cpt_Zyph> all the guides i see simply say plug in to network wire update and use broadcom driver.. i can tell ya the lspci results if that is helpful at all
[17:09] <bonjoyee> Jemt: try doing it with gconf-tool..read somewhere it is recommended!
[17:09] <Hypoglybetic> BluesKaj Is that software or hardware? I'm going to say no.  I'm a linux newbie, but pretty much pro in windows /hardware.
[17:09] <Cpt_Zyph> Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) im excited to find there could eb a solution here without waiting another day 8)
[17:09] <BluesKaj> !networkmanager | Hypoglybetic
[17:10] <Jemt> bonjoyee: Do you know what package contains gconf-tool ? I don't have it installed
[17:10] <Hypoglybetic> BluesKaj I am running Ubuntu server v10, I have installed gnome..I was trying to install web admin n all that jazz.  So thats whree I stand.
[17:10] <Bipul`> can i able to see mine notes which is in tomboy in mine terminal via some cat like commands?
[17:10] <eviljames> Cpt_Zyph: I'm not really a ubuntu user :/
[17:10] <pigy1_alt> anyone know how to fix graphics issue, installed 10.10 but can only login with cmd prompt but when i startx get errors
[17:10] <Cpt_Zyph> st__ do you happen to know were i go to get such an update/
[17:10] <eviljames> Cpt_Zyph: I'm a Slackware user who wants to try ubuntu studio :P
[17:11] <Hypoglybetic> BluesKaj I am not managing any wireless networks.  They are managed by the router and Laptops (windows)
[17:11] <Cpt_Zyph> eviljames rgr that
[17:11] <BluesKaj> when did network manager become wifi exclusively , sorry Hypoglybetic , it used to manage ethernet as well, altho I haven't used it in awhile
[17:12] <bonjoyee> Jemt: its gconftool
[17:12] <st__> Cpt_Zyph, check packages.ubuntu.com
[17:12] <Cpt_Zyph> eviljames well bummer *) lol .. i can't seem to dig up any guides or help info o nthis from the forums or google.. im sure its possable/....
[17:12] <Jemt> bonjoyee: Oh :)
[17:12] <Cpt_Zyph> St__ checking now thanks
[17:12] <Hypoglybetic> BluesKaj well I haven't gone out of my way to install that.  Unless it came in the server edition I don't have it. And I'm having other small errors..I'm thinking of just installing Desktop and converting that to my media server. >_>
[17:13] <BluesKaj> Hypoglybetic, it used to be default \
[17:13] <eviljames> Storage people around?  Those familiar with md/lvm and initramfs ?
[17:14] <Spirits-Sight> Anyone able help with using live cd and getting LVM to show up?
[17:14] <eviljames> Spirits-Sight: You've done vgscan and/or vgchange -a y ?
[17:14] <Gnea> Spirits-Sight: to show up? or to set lvm up?
[17:14] <Spirits-Sight> I want to point a LVM to my /home
[17:14] <Bipul`> can i download mine file via ssh from my remote computer
[17:15] <ne2k> Bipul`: scp user@remote:path/to/file ./
[17:15] <ne2k> Bipul`: if you have many files, consider using rsync
[17:15] <Bipul`> ne2k,  sory i don't get you
[17:15] <Spirits-Sight> gnea I have LVM and ubuntu setup on a drive then I was trying to make my /home directory use LVM and setup and went into the live cde and then could not boot after that
[17:15] <Bipul`> can you give me a example
[17:15] <ne2k> Bipul`: if you prefer GUI you can ssh mount in nautilus
[17:15] <Spirits-Sight> I can boot it just does not give me the desktop any more
[17:15] <Bipul`> how ?
[17:16] <eviljames> Bipul`: rsync -azPv user@remotemachine:path/to/file .
[17:16] <Bipul`> you have any tutorial or link
[17:16] <Bipul`> ok
[17:16] <eviljames> Bipul`: man rsync
[17:16] <BluesKaj> Hypoglybetic, i use this pc as our server , but I'm not a gamer so no need for extra NICs, however if you are interested this tutorial can help use the direct approach to networking without some dumb software app that has probs : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[17:16] <ne2k> Bipul`: nautilus: file->connect to server
[17:16] <ne2k> Bipul`: pick service type->ssh, then fill in server hostname/ip, folder and username
[17:16] <Gnea> Spirits-Sight: okay, I haven't done that before so I'm not sure what needs to be done... someone else might
[17:16] <Bipul`> nops i want to download via putty from my ubuntu
[17:17] <Bipul`> ne2k, got it thanks
[17:17] <ne2k> Bipul`: are both computers ubuntu?
[17:17] <ne2k> Bipul`: you need openssh-server on the computer with the files, and you need scp on the computer you want to get the files on to
[17:17] <Bipul`> nops one is mine ubuntu thats remote computer and mine lap has windows7 runing putty
[17:18] <ne2k> Bipul`: right, you never said this. easiest way is to get winscp for windows
[17:18] <Hypoglybetic> sweet, my wired mouse stopped working
[17:18] <Hypoglybetic> fixed
[17:18] <ne2k> Bipul`: and install openssh-server on the server
[17:18] <edbian> A friend of mine and I are writing a program and I'm thinking about releasing it as open source and packaging it in Ubuntu.  What benefits to me are there to doing this?
[17:18] <Bipul`> ok
[17:19] <mneptok> edbian: offtopic for the support channel
[17:19] <edbian> mneptok: where should I ask?  ubuntu-offtopic?
[17:19] <mneptok> edbian: that's one place.
[17:19] <Rictoo> guys
[17:19] <edbian> mneptok: sure thanks
[17:19] <ne2k> Bipul`: you can use pscp from putty on windows if you want command line, but winscp will be easier for noob
[17:19] <Rictoo> i fucked up
[17:19] <IdleOne> !language | Rictoo
[17:19] <Rictoo> i use gdisk to convert my gpt hdd to mbr, and didn't realize it would wipe everything
[17:19] <Rictoo> i'm sorry, IdleOne
[17:20] <ne2k> edbian: people may help you improve it
[17:20] <Rictoo> i had a lot of important information on it
[17:20] <Rictoo> is there perhaps a way to undo this?
[17:20] <edbian> ne2k: yes thanks.
[17:20] <jessica_> Hi, so I have a trackpad, it is not synaptics so the synaptic drivers do not work with it (so it thinks it is a mouse). Anyhow, the tap-to-click is driving me crazy! How can I disable it?
[17:20] <Gnea> Rictoo: you MIGHT be able to recover some with testdisk or foremost
[17:21] <Gnea> jessica_: still?
[17:21] <gelu> hello
[17:21] <ne2k> jessica_: bios, perhaps?
[17:21] <jessica_> Gnea: Sorry?
[17:21] <Rictoo> thank you, Gnea. testdisk totally slipped my mind
[17:21] <asfjio> hello guys! how can i see which daemons are set to be run at startup with command?
[17:22] <ne2k> Rictoo: it's not for the faint of heart. first step is to completely stop writing anything to the disk
[17:22] <Gnea> jessica_: you were in here a week or two ago asking for help on the exact same problem. what's the make/model of the laptop again?
[17:22] <andrea> §/
[17:22] <mneptok> jessica_: System > Prefs > Mouse
[17:22] <ne2k> mneptok: I fear this won't work given her description
[17:22] <Rictoo> ne2k, nothing is writing to it :)
 System > Prefrences > Mouse
[17:22] <Rictoo> it was just a couple of storage partitions
[17:22] <gizmobay> I can move files from the home directory to a usb flash drive but I can't copy so I have to move them and then copy them back. Anyone know why I can't copy?
[17:23] <jessica_> There is no "trackpad" option under "mouse"
 then Touch pad tab > uncheck enable mouse clicks whit touchpad
[17:23] <mneptok> ne2k: my gnome-mouse-properties on a machine with no touchpad still has the "Touchpad" tab. and i can disable tap-clicking
 what ubuntu are you using?
[17:23] <Gnea> zach32: funny, that's the same solution I offered her last time
[17:23] <mmo|> Hi, does anyone have an idea why, after installing xubuntu 10.10 on my fit-pc 1.0, when logging into it via a terminal, there is a delay of perhaps 5 seconds after I get the welcome message (motd) until I see the command prompt? I didn't have this problem with Ubuntu 7.10 which I had before...
[17:23] <jessica_> zach32: 10.10
[17:23] <Rictoo> thank you Gnea!
[17:23] <Rictoo> tesdisk worked!
[17:24] <ne2k> gizmobay: what did you try, what did you expect to happen, and what happens instead
[17:24] <Gnea> Rictoo: cheers :)
[17:24] <ne2k> mneptok: mine doesn't. maverick desktop. perhaps it's a "laptop" type package?
i just got here
[17:24] <Gnea> zach32: I see that
[17:24] <jessica_> zach32: There is no tab for touchpad, I am using a non synaptics trackpad.
[17:24] <Gnea> zach32: this is one of those week-old problems that just hasn't been resolved yet
[17:24] <ne2k> mmo|: yes, it's because they decided to put in some "cool" stuff that takes a long time
[17:25] <mmo|> ne2k: do you know how I can disable the cool stuff :-)
[17:25] <jessica_> Gnea: acer aspire
[17:25] <ne2k> jessica_: have you tried the tpconfig package?
[17:25] <Gnea> jessica_: yes, what is the model number please?
[17:25] <Gnea> there are many acer aspires
[17:25] <jessica_> 1551
 cool thx one of many i suppose
[17:25] <mneptok> ne2k: 10.04 and 10.10 both have the "Touchpad" tab on desktop machines with no pad.
[17:26] <SoftarPaul> How to share a connection with my Ubuntu?
[17:26] <ne2k> mneptok: where?
[17:26] <SoftarPaul> I want to share with the Xbox
[17:26] <Gnea> !ics | SoftarPaul
[17:26] <gizmobay> nevermind, I see my problem. I was using two different file managers one for my home and another for the USB device
[17:26] <m1chael> im having problems with apache.. i installed like this: sudo apt-get install apache2.2 # apachectl restart throws the error: /usr/sbin/apachectl: 148: /usr/sbin/apache2: not found ..... any ideas?? i'm on ubunto 10.0.4
[17:26] <ne2k> mneptok: system->preferences->mouse?
 can you tell me what is the laptop model your using
[17:26] <mneptok> ne2k: yes
[17:26] <ne2k> mneptok: not on mine it doesn't
[17:27] <ne2k> mneptok: window is "mouse preferfences", it has "general" and "accessibility". it must be an additional package
[17:28] <Gnea> jessica_: does it seem to be similar to this problem?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/677691
[17:28] <mmo|> ne2k: bump?
[17:29] <phox_> yo! I have a AMD phenom x3 cpu, is it considered i686, x86-64 or "dual architecture? (sry if this is a very common question)
[17:29] <ne2k> mmo|: not sure, really. look at the bash profile and stuff to see what is being run
[17:29] <justask> hi all
[17:29] <gizmobay> One last question, I have a smb share directory setup as a different user to match the login of my windows 7 pc. When I move files from using my usual login name to the shared directory I always have to change the permission of the file with superuser so I can access the file with WIndows 7. Is there a way to automatically change the permission to files that are moved over to the shared directory?
[17:30] <mmo|> ne2k: hm, ok, thanks. I have already looked a bit, can't really see what it could be...
[17:30] <ne2k> mmo|: try mv .bashrc .bashrc.old, and log in again
[17:31] <bastidrazor> phox_: type in a terminal: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm    ..if you get any results then it is 64bit.
[17:31] <ne2k> mmo|: if it's faster, move it back and then see which bits of it you actually need and comment the rest out
[17:31] <justask> bastidrazor: do you know that "lm" stays for?
[17:31] <Huffameg> hi! i'm not able to install a program. i've downloaded and unpaced the package marave and the readme tells me to do the following in terminal "python setup.py install". however, i only get this message: "error: package directory 'marave' does not exist". what can i do? i imagine that this is quite easy, but i'm at a loss.
[17:32] <edbian> Huffameg: What  is marave?  Before we try to install from source are you sure it's not in the repos?
[17:32] <flacom> hi all.. my display goes off after X minutes without reason, I got disabled the power management settings and also I disable the dpms settings (xset -dpms) what I'm missing?
[17:33] <Huffameg> edbian: it a simple writing program. i've checked but cannot find it
[17:33] <bastidrazor> justask: large memory
[17:33] <justask> ok
[17:33] <edbian> Huffameg: writing?  You mean a word processor?
[17:33] <bastidrazor> justask: .. long mode rather
[17:33] <edbian> Huffameg: Can you point me to a download?  I'll return the favor by helping you install it :)
[17:33] <justask> flacom after a precise amount of time?
[17:33] <phox_> bastidrazor: i didnt get any "results". So it's a 32 bits system. So what type of cpu is it? (i686, x86-64 or "dual architecture)
[17:33] <compdoc> flacom, monitors can go bad that way too
[17:33] <Huffameg> edbian: yes.. like word only with less functions..
[17:33] <ne2k> mmo|: g2g, hoep it works
[17:34] <bastidrazor> phox_: no, its a 32bit processor.. i686
[17:34] <Huffameg> edbian: http://code.google.com/p/marave/
[17:34] <BluesKaj> phox_,  it's 64 bit , but it will also run x86, which is 32 bit and if RAM is less thn 4G , then there won't be a noticable difference in performance
[17:34] <edbian> Huffameg: Have you seen abiword?  (similar app, in the repos)
[17:34] <phox_> blueskaj and bastidrazor: okey thx, ill choose i686 :)
[17:34] <justask> BluesKaj: other than ram management, how much speedup can you really see on 64bit compiled sw?
[17:35] <st__> edbian, abiword is unusable c..p
[17:35] <justask> just to figure out if it's worthy
[17:35] <edbian> st__: Huh?
[17:35] <edbian> Huffameg: Download the package, unpack it, cd into that directory with the term.  You did all that correctly?
[17:35] <bluenemo> how can i check my cpu temperature when acpi -t doesnt give output, and /proc/acpi/processor and so on isnt there?
[17:36] <Huffameg> edbian: ah.. this is not at all what i'm looking for. actually i'm looking for a linux alternative to ommwriter (http://www.ommwriter.com/)
[17:36] <justask> is lm_sensors installed bluenemo?
[17:36] <st__> do not recommend low-queality software
[17:36] <bluenemo> justask, yes
[17:36] <edbian> st__: What are you talking about?  Many distros use abi-word.
[17:37] <justask> do you see some sensors output?
[17:37] <justask> like smart, ecc...
[17:37] <edbian> Huffameg: Let's just install this app :)  I wanna see it run.  Did you download and extract the package?
[17:37] <BluesKaj> justask, dunno how its expressed in speed terms , but I've heard that 4 core cpus with 64bit and 6G ram is noticable
[17:37] <Huffameg> jes
[17:37] <bluenemo> yes, but they dont show the cpu temp i think.. i cross referenced with my debian (where acpi -t and sensors work..)
[17:37] <justask> so with 4 cores...i also hoped for duals :-)
[17:37] <Huffameg> edbian: yes. now i got another error msg: error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/marave': Permission denied
[17:38] <bonjoyee> bluenemo: did you run "sudo sensors-detect"?
[17:38] <justask> i will search for some benchmarks
[17:38] <edbian> Huffameg: this thing is neat! :)
[17:38] <Huffameg> edbian: jepp!
[17:38] <ethernet> who cwho can tell me a light twitter client
[17:38] <edbian> Huffameg: I got the same error.  run it with sudo:  sudo python setup.py install
[17:38] <edbian> Huffameg: I just got it to install and I ran it.  It's different! :)
[17:39] <kyle___> hello people, i have an issue with a version of ubuntu installed as a windows app. At boot you select ubuntu, then you get the NTFS5 line for 1 second then the PC will reboot.  Any help, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..
[17:39] <J0hnD40n3> Hi
[17:39] <bluenemo> bonjoyee, yes i did and answered yes everywhere.. it now tells me make sure you loaded all the kernel drives you need when i type sensors
[17:39] <J0hnD40n3> Kyle____
[17:39] <J0hnD40n3> I suggest you copy the disk image in windows, then reinstall and swap back ot the original disk.
[17:39] <BluesKaj> justask, dunno , I use 2 core cpus on my 2 yr old machines and the speed is ok for my uses , of course I'm not a gamer , this pc is used as amedia center in our tv room and it does the job very well
[17:40] <J0hnD40n3> Anyone know any good website design/hosting irc's???
[17:40] <flacom> justask,  random time... is very weird
[17:40] <Huffameg> edbian: ehm.. how do i open? :S
[17:40] <edbian> Huffameg: youdig?
[17:40] <justask> kyle what do you mean by "installed like windows app"??
[17:40] <kyle___> does it matter if I get the wrong file size etc?? also what file is it or do i just go by size.
[17:40] <edbian> Huffameg: after it's installed just run marave-editor
[17:40] <flacom> compdoc, what do you mean... I t could be the display?
[17:40] <Huffameg> edbian: haha.. nub
[17:40] <eviljames> So, folks around with lvm experience?  I keep getting dumped into initramfs/busybox when trying to boot from lvm
[17:40] <SoftarPaul> Why can't I share my connection with my Xbox 360?
[17:41] <bluenemo> ah ok got it to work thx
[17:41] <kyle___> justask: put CD in when in windows and then install. like a normal windows application. buts ubuntu into a file.
[17:41] <compdoc> flacom, yeah. I have a lcd monitor that does that. have you tried it on another PC or a different OS?
[17:41] <J0hnD40n3> He means WUbi
[17:41] <DarkStar1> has anyone used the yum tool in CentOS? I need to know how to use it to find available tomcat packages
[17:41] <bonjoyee> bluenemo: rebooted since then?
[17:41] <Huffameg> edbian: i mean.. the program is pure genious..:D
[17:41] <flacom> compdoc, nop.. I'm using an LCD TV.. (LG, 32 inch)
[17:42] <J0hnD40n3> Basically, go into the main winblows directory, whioch ever has a folder names "ubuntu"
[17:42] <BluesKaj> !who | J0hnD40n3,
[17:42] <J0hnD40n3> and then in "disks"
[17:42] <justask> flacom: there must be some power/standy faeature messing around
[17:42] <J0hnD40n3> it is the "root" one
[17:42] <bluenemo> bonjoyee, no. i modprobed the modules he told me
[17:42] <compdoc> flacom, tvs dont like high refresh rates - you might be burning it out if its set to 60 or 70Hz
[17:42] <mafoelffen_> Really having troubles w/Rythembox in Ubuntu 10.10.  Tried the forum, but it got my other problems.
[17:42] <J0hnD40n3> !kyle___ they were all to you
[17:42] <Huffameg> edbian: and now it works. great thanks!!
[17:42] <justask> BluesKaj: i did a quick search...likely not even noticeable speed gain
[17:42] <edbian> Huffameg: IDK about that :)  You got it working I presume?
[17:43] <Spirits-Sight> Any one know about LVM,  I would like to mount my /home on LVM however I can't seem to move it over to the LVM part
[17:43] <justask> that makes little sense to me
[17:43] <warriorforGod> What would the proper syntax be to grant someone vim access to all files under a directory in /etc/sudoers?
[17:43] <bonjoyee> bluenemo: please pastebin the output of sensors
[17:43] <J0hnD40n3> !kyle | All to you
[17:43] <edbian> Huffameg: awesome :)
[17:43] <kyle___> j0hnD40n3: I'll try now.
[17:43] <Huffameg> edbian: the ommwriter for mac is even better.. but then i would have to support the apple fascists.. ;)
[17:43] <J0hnD40n3> ok
[17:43] <BluesKaj> justask, yeah , the old story about reaching the point of diminishing returns :)
[17:43] <bonjoyee> bluenemo: try "sudo/etc/init.d/module-init-tools restart"
[17:43] <Pokit> i can't change the brigtness/contrast on ubuntu 10.10, anyone else with this probleM?
[17:43] <bluenemo> bonjoyee, i'm shure it works, it sais core0 and 1 and its getting hotter when i cpuburn :)
[17:43] <vAd0r> im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 and after i get to the spot where i click install the vbox screen goes black.  any ideas?  it just sets there
[17:43] <justask> huff3r: no please dont do it :-)
[17:44] <J0hnD40n3> Kyle, I suggest you move it to another folder, as reinstalling deletes all of the disks
[17:44] <kyle___> j0hnD40n3: also do you know if there is a easy way to get data back from this image if needed
[17:44] <tisepti> where can i find the exact version of the memtest included on a specific ubuntu install cd? in this case 9.04 32 desktop
[17:44] <sipior> warriorforGod: you don't want to give sudo access to an editor. editors can run arbitrary shell commands. best to solve the problem via normal unix permissions, or ACLs
[17:44] <amarcolino> just wondering on a filesystem with multiple partitions would I add quota to the / only or / and /home?
[17:45] <justask> amarcolino: for what i know usually only /home
[17:45] <bonjoyee> bluenemo: theres a space after the sudo!
[17:45] <J0hnD40n3> yeah, you would just have to reinstall and put the disk in the same plac,e but name it something other than root
[17:45] <flacom> compdoc, I will check that..
[17:45] <J0hnD40n3> kyle___ it *should* work, but I've never needed to do it.
[17:45] <bluenemo> bonjoyee, i already got it working :) but thank you for your help
[17:45] <amarcolino> justask: ok will try and see what happens
[17:45] <warriorforGod> sipior: Not concerned about arbitrary shell commands.
[17:45] <kyle___> j0hnD40n3: I'll let you know in a bit

[17:46] <J0hnD40n3> anyone know a good website design or hosting chanel???
[17:46] <SoftarPaul> Can anyone please help me with my shared internetconnection?
[17:46] <warriorforGod> sipior: Everything is logged and the work for my company, so if they do something bad we will know.
[17:46] <justask> is there a reason that you want to do that? a shared pc?
[17:46] <bluenemo> bonjoyee, i'm quite experienced with linux as well, just using debian for most of the stuff so i was a little puzeld and thought i might ask. but after sensors-detect the tool told me what to do
[17:46] <SoftarPaul> justask: I want to connect it with my Xbox
[17:46] <sipior> warriorforGod: oh lord. disaster waiting to happen.
[17:47] <mafoelffen_> No takers on help with it? (Knowing messages are scrolling by...)
[17:47] <justask> ok, so why putting that quota? i dont get the connection :-)
[17:47] <Cpt_Zyph> ok im trying to manualy download a package i was told would fix my wifi problem on my mini... but when i try to install bcmwl-kernel-source it has a dependency error not satisviable: dkms.. is this the wrong package or is there something else im missing?
[17:47] <jessica_> zach32: I got disconnected
[17:47] <warriorforGod> sipior: Maybe so, but not my decision.  I just need to know how to give them the directory access.
[17:47] <bonjoyee> bluenemo: im just a noob then!..trying to help a nerd!:)
[17:47] <J0hnD40n3> Cpt_zyph, try installing dkms first
[17:48] <jessica_> zach32: I got disconnected.
[17:48] <SoftarPaul> justask: Do you know how to make it?
[17:48] <bluenemo> bonjoyee, np anyway thank you very much :)
[17:48] <sipior> warriorforGod: add them to the appropriate unix group, or set ACLs on the files concerned.
[17:48] <seancron> hey, I'm trying to setup a pptp vpn server on an ubuntu vpn, but I'm getting the error: "pptpd[75500]: CTRL: EOF or bad error reading ctrl packet length." Any idea why I'm getting this error??
[17:48] <roger_padactor> trying to mount a folder in ubuntu from virtualbox. i set up the shared folder on both but when I try to mount it sudo mount -t vboxsf Deskto5 shares   i always get invalid argument.  I dont see what im doing wrong.
[17:48] <Cpt_Zyph> JOhnD40n3 i see tahts the error.. thank ya ill try that
[17:48] <seancron> s/ubuntu vpn/ubuntu vps
[17:48] <J0hnD40n3> kk
[17:48] <J0hnD40n3> Cpt_Zyph "sudo apt-get install dkms" might work
[17:49] <bonjoyee> roger_padactor: installed guest additions?
[17:49] <justask> yesterday a talked to one guy, he fixed using ICS and putting a static IP for the Xbox
[17:49] <justask> internet connection sharing
[17:49] <Cpt_Zyph> J0hnD40n3 i can't get that machine on a network only via wifi...
[17:49] <roger_padactor> bonjoyee:  yes
[17:49] <seancron> roger_padactor: does the name have spaces in it? You might need to quote it.
[17:49] <Cpt_Zyph> Johnd40n2 i am trying to manualy download packages on a usb stick.. there are a ton of DKMS results for the package search
[17:49] <J0hnD40n3> Cpt_Zyph, then you will have to manually install dkms too :(
[17:49] <roger_padactor> no spaces just Desktop5
[17:49] <SoftarPaul> justask: What should my static IP be?
[17:49] <justask> seancron: maybe wrong connection settings? or packet size?
[17:50] <roger_padactor> i made a folder called shares in the mnt dir
[17:50] <DarkStar1> If a group were given rwx (777?) access rights to a directory will it affect sub-directories and files already existent in that directory tree?
[17:50] <justask> one like the one used by your pc, only slightly different
[17:50] <Cpt_Zyph> maybe its the ndiswrapper one/
[17:50] <J0hnD40n3> Cpt_Zyph, try the one that looks the most generic
[17:50] <justask> example x.x.x.2 and x.x.x.3
[17:50] <bonjoyee> roger_padactor: configured the folder to be shared inder "shared folders" in virtualbox?
[17:50] <J0hnD40n3> or google around
[17:50] <bluj> seancron, theres plenty google hits for pptpd CTRL: EOF or bad error reading ctrl packet length as well
[17:50] <Cpt_Zyph> J0hnD40n3 rgr trying to find the .. yep .. not the best of luck .. humm
[17:50] <erUSUL> DarkStar1: no
[17:50] <J0hnD40n3> could be that one
[17:50] <Myrtti> DarkStar1: rwx is 7
[17:51] <vAd0r> is there some video setting i need to change for the install to work?
[17:51] <SoftarPaul> justask: How to check my ip in ubuntu?
[17:51] <vAd0r> ifconfig

[17:51] <justask> ipconfig if im not wrong
[17:51] <vAd0r> iFFFFFconfig
[17:51] <justask> or ifconfig sure

[17:52] <sg|> justask: E: Couldn't find package tcl-devel
[17:52] <gobbe> SoftarPaul: 192.168.1.5
[17:52] <DarkStar1> erUSUL: but for already existing folders I'd Ihave to add group right manually?
[17:53] <justask> SoftarPaul: the one linked to your network card
[17:53] <SoftarPaul> gobbe: So I can try 192.168.1.7 at my Xbox?
[17:53] <justask> the other one may be the gateway
[17:53] <erUSUL> DarkStar1: chown and chgrp accept -R too
[17:53] <justask> you could use that one
[17:53] <bonjoyee> roger_padactor: sudo mount -t vboxsf share_name /mnt/shares
[17:53] <gobbe> SoftarPaul: you mean add ip.7 there, or what+

[18:11] <SoftarPaul> justask: what do you mean?

[18:11] <Qrchack> is possible to install apache and php from ubuntu software manager
[18:11] <Qrchack> ??

[18:19] <dell1501> thx @justask

[18:44] <vAd0r> how do you find the exact names
[18:45] <justask> jkalex05: maybe for playing games :-)

[18:49] <Scuttle> Uhm...I have a little issue here... I have a bunch of disks with ext4-partitions on them, but fdisk tells me they are HPFS/NTFS... everything works, I'm just kinda confused what gives...
[18:49] <vAd0r> which version of apache should i install it wants me to chose
[18:50] <juniour> hi
[18:51] <Aviator> hello
[18:51] <erUSUL> Scuttle: change the partition type to 83 linux with fdisk ?
[18:51] <vAd0r> is apache2 what i want to install?
[18:51] <erUSUL> Scuttle: personally if everything works is a cosmetic issue i would not bother changing
[18:52] <erUSUL> vAd0r: yes
[18:52] <vAd0r> thanks
[18:52] <vAd0r> going through the list for cacti
[18:52] <Kruptein> erUSUL: okay I think I loaded the iso correctly mount -a didn't throw any error...   but now if I do: sudo apt-cdrom -m -d=/path/to/mountpoint     nothing happens for a long time and then I get the error:  W: mounting '/dev/sr0' to '/media/apt' failed  Can't find package-files...
[18:53] <erUSUL> Kruptein: what is the fstab line you added?
[18:53] <erUSUL> Kruptein: you should have used a fstab line with /dev/loop0 instead of /dev/sr0
[18:53] <atm-art> hi
[18:53] <justask> hi
[18:53] <Kruptein> erUSUL: /media/usb/ubuntu.iso /home/darragh/mount iso9660 user,loop 0 0
[18:54] <tajpan_22> hello
[18:54] <Kruptein> and then sudo mount -a
[18:54] <Scuttle> erUSUL: uhm...will that nuke the partition?
[18:54] <justask> Scuttle: you mean you can boot from them?
[18:54] <luca__> ciaoooooooooooooooooooooooo
[18:54] <luca__> !list
[18:54] <justask> ciao luca
[18:55] <mtngan> hi
[18:55] <Scuttle> justask: oh no, they're just drives with files on them, but fdisk identifies them as HPFS/NTFS-partitions
[18:55] <vAd0r> mysql-server-5.0 or 5.1?
[18:55] <Scuttle> no reason to not go with 5.
[18:55] <Scuttle> 5.1....
[18:56] <justask> so you are able to mount them though
[18:56] <justask> or not
[18:56] <Scuttle> I am
[18:56] <Scuttle> they mount fine, as ext4-partitions
[18:56] <vAd0r> what is the diff between mysql and mysql-server?
[18:56] <justask> it's a raid setup or anything like?
[18:56] <vAd0r> http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/install_unix.html#RPM_PACKAGES
[18:56] <Kruptein> erUSUL: any idea?
[18:56] <justask> that's odd :-)
[18:56] <Scuttle> justask: nope, just a bunch of disk :)
[18:57] <erUSUL> Kruptein: doing some research ...
[18:57] <tajpan_22> network add -autosendcmd "/msg nickserv identify doberman78 ;wait 2000" Freenode
[18:57] <Scuttle> 20 of them to be specific...
[18:57] <justask> so single disks, not even lvm or logical arrays?
[18:57] <Kruptein> erUSUL: okay thanks
[18:57] <Scuttle> justask: not even that. running greyhole though
[18:58] <justask> what is greyhole, sorry
[18:58] <Scuttle> greyhole.net, Samba drive-pooling
[18:59] <erUSUL> Kruptein: trying changing user,loop to user,loop=/dev/loop0 in the fstab line
[18:59] <justask> is it meant to share on windows?
[18:59] <Kruptein> okay wait a sec
[18:59] <Scuttle> justask: samba is...
[18:59] <justask> ok, i never used it yet
[18:59] <justask> and if you dont run greyhole?
[18:59] <Kruptein> erUSUL: and then sudo mount -a   and the same apt-cdrom command as previously?
[19:00] <erUSUL> Kruptein: yes
[19:00]  * bonjoyee waves good night!!
[19:00] <craiggles> hey guys, im wanting to reduce my windws partion and increase my ubu partion because i hardly use my dual boot windows, any way im using gparted and when i unmount and try and resize i cannot adjust the amount, it says: mininmum amount: 700GB maximum: 700Gb
[19:00] <erUSUL> tajpan_22: people has seen your passwrod here
[19:00] <Kruptein> erUSUL: mount -a complains that it is already mounted,
[19:00] <vAd0r> is libnet-snmp-perl the same as net-snmp
[19:00] <justask> maybe it keeps fdisk not able to see correct partition type
[19:00] <Kruptein> is there an unmount command?
[19:00] <justask> even if it shouldnt
[19:00] <erUSUL> tajpan_22: change it; also in the future do this i the server window not in a channel one
[19:01] <erUSUL> Kruptein: sudo umount /mount/point && sudo mount -a
[19:01] <justask> craiggles: maybe you need to defragment it
[19:02] <justask> craiggles: and consolidate free space at the end
[19:02] <detrix42> I need some help troubleshooting an unusual problem. no videos will show video, I get sound, but no video. video was working yesterday.  I was playing with the Cheese web cam program when I lost video. anyone else have this problem?
[19:02] <trumee> guys, i want to rebuild Liquidsoap with mp3 support. Anybody done that before?
[19:02] <Kruptein> erUSUL: still same error
[19:02] <craiggles> justask: what's the best app for defragging?
[19:02] <Kruptein> I don't know why it keeps trying to mount /dev/sr0
[19:02] <justask> give me a sec
[19:03] <NTQ> craiggles: which file system?
[19:03] <Kruptein> erUSUL: can't I create a symbolic link from my mount to /media/apt ?
[19:03] <erUSUL> Kruptein: :/ see here http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2007-10/msg01619.html
[19:03] <craiggles> NTQ: ntfs
[19:03] <czardoz> is there ANY way to change the default file manager (nautilus) to something else?? say gentoo file manager?
[19:03] <Scunizi> craiggles: defragging windows?  use it's defrag tool.. for Ubuntu don't worry about it..
[19:03] <erUSUL> Kruptein: maybe editing /etc/apt/apt.conf as said there
[19:03] <trumee> Why is mp3 disabled in Ubuntu :(
[19:03] <justask> Scunizi: built in tool is horrible
[19:03] <justask> and slow like hell
[19:04] <Kruptein> erUSUL: I only seem to have an apt.conf.d file
[19:04] <NTQ> trumee: it's not disabled. it's not installed.
[19:04] <detrix42> trumee: you need to install the ubuntu restricted extras
[19:04] <erUSUL> Kruptein: that's a dir
[19:04] <craiggles> Scunizi: i see..didnt think i would have to use a defragger, all i want to do is change the partion size, its hogging 600GB that i need on this partion.
[19:04] <trumee> ah i see!
[19:04] <erUSUL> Kruptein: create one
[19:04] <Kruptein> erUSUL: oh yeah ofcourse :p ok I will just create it
[19:04] <Scunizi> trumee: it's a paid codec.. ubuntu is free so you haven't paid for it.. install lame for mp3 support and see the next link from ubottu
[19:04] <Scunizi> !restricted | trumee
[19:05] <trumee> Scunizi: thanks
[19:05] <justask> craiggles a fragmented disk is very likely to prevent resize
[19:05] <Kruptein> erUSUL: and then just "sudo apt-cdrom add" ? or still with the -m and -d
[19:05] <justask> try mydefrag, quick and effective - and free of course
[19:05] <erUSUL> Kruptein: try both; it wont hurt
[19:05] <vAd0r> bump:  is libnet-snmp-perl the same as net-snmp
[19:05] <erUSUL> justask: quick ? ...
[19:05] <craiggles> justask: do i have to boot into windows to do this?
[19:05] <Kruptein> erUSUL: it ignores the apt.conf twice I think it keeps giving the same error :f
[19:06] <trumee> Scunizi: i am using Ubuntu 10.10 Server, that webpage doesnt list this version?
[19:06] <Scunizi> trumee: here's a link that has listed a windows defragger that is "much better" http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/9-great-freeware-programs-should-be-every-pc.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+gizmosbest+(Gizmo's+Best-ever+Freeware)&utm_content=FeedBurner
[19:06] <craiggles> justask: the only reason im doing this is because i want to convert my ext hdd from ntfs to ext4, but i need to backup because i will lose the files.
[19:06] <erUSUL> Kruptein: :/ sorry do not know what to do next
[19:06] <justask> ersul...yep, very quick, like licensed counterparts
[19:06] <Kruptein> erUSUL: okay this is maybe interesting, I ran sudo apt-get update
[19:06] <Haunt_House> hi, if I put a script into autostart and it doesn't work, how can I track the error? the python script itself works fine outside Autostart.
[19:06] <Scunizi> trumee: use the info for 10.04 or 9.10 .. it's the same basically.
[19:06] <Kruptein> erUSUL: and know it starts complaining about inserting a cdrom
[19:06] <trumee> Scunizi: ah ok
[19:06] <justask> yes you boot into windows, it does defrag even the system disk
[19:07] <justask> without going to console
[19:07] <Kruptein> erUSUL: if I make a symbolic link from my mounted cd to /cdrom/ would it work?
[19:07] <seul> I am in deep trouble. All i get when i boot is just this "grub rescue>" that doesnt recognize any of the commands i try. What do i do? PLEASE help!
[19:07] <erUSUL> Kruptein: do not think so
[19:07] <Kruptein> erUSUL: okay other ideas? :D
[19:07] <erUSUL> seul: tried reinstalling grub after installing windows steps?
[19:07] <romann> i'm just installed 2.6.37 on my x64 maverick install and x doesn't seem to be starting, can anyone give me some insight what's happening?
[19:07] <justask> Haunt_House: which autostart? the one of ubuntu?
[19:07] <erUSUL> !grub2 | seul
[19:07] <jkalex05> i know there is a tool for windows called windows 7 usb tool so you can install windows 7 through a usb drive is there anyway to do that with ubuntu
[19:08] <deepestthought42> hi all! I've made a new installation with 10.10 and now have problems using setxkbmap (without any normal desktop evn. -- i'm using stumpwm) to configure switching between layouts. This worked before: setxkbmap -layout 'us,de' -model pc105 -option 'ctrl:nocaps, grp:switch'; Any ideas anyone ?
[19:08] <ilovefairuz> !usb | jkalex05
[19:08] <erUSUL> seul: also boot with a livecd and check that everything ( partitions data etc ...) is still there
[19:08] <Haunt_House> justask, yes, it's in system>>sessions
[19:08] <justask> deepestthought42: what happens indeed?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> jkalex05: use the 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux or unetbootin
[19:08] <justask> does anything else in it actually runs or not?
[19:09] <seul> erusul: i didnt loose grub after installing windows, windows 7 was there first and was running along ubuntu. Then i tried to installed arch linux, but i exited the installation and tried to boot up again. Now this mess! It doesnt even recognizer "sudo fdisk -l"
[19:09] <justask> linux has different startup and boot files / methods
[19:09] <deepestthought42> you mean instead ? nothing just can't switch between layouts; using the gnome conf tool works as long as gnome is running
[19:09] <Haunt_House> justask, yes, the builtin stuff like notification of updates works. I guess python is not ready when the script is executed, But I don't know how to check
[19:09] <erUSUL> seul: maybe arch left a disconfigured grub in the mbr. follow the guide anyway
[19:09] <Nightshade> @ jye s
[19:10] <justask> deepestthought42: doesn't it show an actual error?
[19:10] <justask> do you see nothing in dmesg or startup logs related to it?
[19:10] <Kruptein> erUSUL: do you need to reload apt or something after modifying/adding apt.config
[19:10] <mattstone> hey
[19:10] <deepestthought42> nope nothing, accepts the command without any message on console or any log i've searched through (X.org.log, .xsession-errors)
[19:10] <erUSUL> Kruptein: no that i know of
[19:13] <deepestthought42> justask: no nothing on dmesg either
[19:13] <justask> deepestthought42: are you able to make it more verbose or anything like that?
[19:13] <justask> and then..why dont you just stay with gui tool? :-)
[19:13] <Kruptein> erUSUL: okay this was retarded, I created /etc/apt.conf instead of /etc/apt/apt.conf :f
[19:13] <Kruptein> erUSUL: but now it asks to insert /home/darragh/mount :D
[19:13] <deepestthought42> justask: good idea! i'll try that ... can't use the gui tool, me not liking gnome ;) thanks anyway, phone ringing, be back in a while

[19:19] <ilovefairuz> vesh: sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:19] <vn> if a script located in /etc/cron.d isn't +x, it cannot run, right?  I'm trying to find out how a script (or where from) is executed on a system, any tips?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Subwarx: this is a support channel, the guys in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##club-ubuntu may humour you
[19:19] <justask> deepestthought42: it's difficult to sort out
[19:19] <ilovefairuz> vesh: apt-get install
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> !ot | Subwarx
[19:19] <erUSUL> vn: what script?
[19:19] <Subwarx> Action: Fair enough. :) Thank you.
[19:19] <Jemt> Hi. Can someone tell me why only one of the gconf options in this file works (hsize). "disabled_applets" does not" ? http://pastebin.com/EDS7JVbu (/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml)
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Subwarx: np man
[19:19] <vn> erUSUL: apache/mysql backup script
[19:19] <vesh> yeah ilovefairuz i have installed the restriced extras
[19:19] <justask> vesh i will recommend you vlc
[19:19] <vn> vlc too here
[19:19] <erUSUL> vn: for cron to run your scripts yu have to use crontab ( to add them )
[19:19] <vesh> i have vlc but it does not play
[19:19] <erUSUL> !cron | vn
[19:19] <poppa> *mplayer still gets some mileage
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> vn: or gnome-schedule
[19:19] <ilovefairuz> vesh: try in a terminal: file yourclip.wmv    .. to try and determine its type
[19:19] <justask> vesh: doesnt play any file? weird
[19:19] <xangua> vesh: it does not play what¿
[19:19] <vesh> only wmv and wma
[19:19] <vn> erUSUL: actually the script isnt even in crontab -e
[19:19] <xangua> vesh: i am sure it does, what version or vlc¿
[19:19] <justask> ilovefairuz: with file do you see if codec is available for that? i guess no..
[19:19] <erUSUL> vn: so; the problem is that it is actually executed but you do not know what launches it?
[19:19] <Haunt_House> ubottu, 404
[19:19] <eviljames> Attempting to run ubuntu 10.10 from my lvm root, initramfs is apparently misbehaving.  Refuses to boot, drops me at the busybox/initramfs prompt.  From that propmt I can modprobe dm_mod ; vgscan ; vgchange -ay and then mount root, but I don't know how to continue to boot past there.  Anyone know much about initramfs / lvm / raid / ubuntu combinations?
[19:19] <ilovefairuz> justask: it's the 'file' command... man file
[19:19] <vesh> version 1.1.4
[19:19] <vn> erUSUL: exactly
[19:19] <gobbe> eviljames: init 5
[19:19] <justask> ok, but you could leave me free from reading the guide :-)
[19:19] <seul> erusul: ok so now i am in the ubuntu live cd and i have acces to a terminal. What do i type? Sry but i dont really understand the wiki, or i dont know which of the problems i have.. I think its the mbr though..
[19:20] <eviljames> gobbe: rl 5, eh?  So, theoretically, once I mount /dev/chimeravg/ustudioroot /root, I can run /init 5 (from the intramfs) and boot will continue?
[19:20] <erUSUL> vn: whare is the script located?
[19:20] <snarkster> ive got a situation where when the lib on my laptop closes the keyboard scheme changes. moving the numeric pad to the main keyboard. Have to press the fn key to be able to use those keys that are effected. Anyone else having this issue?
[19:20] <ilovefairuz> seul: sudo fdisk -l  .. and find which partition has your ubuntu installation
[19:20] <erUSUL> !grub2
[19:20] <gobbe> eviljames: yep
[19:20] <justask> seul what is the issue? wont boot?

[19:22] <stodertoad> how do you view nautilus folders as selectable text and not folder icons
[19:22] <stodertoad> in the view bar
[19:22] <erUSUL> vn: well afaik those are automatically added to roots crontab by the system
[19:22] <ilovefairuz> stodertoad: just use 'ls' in a terminal
[19:22] <erUSUL> vn: like the ones in /etc/cron.hourly/ daily etc ...
[19:23] <vn> erUSUL: do they need to be chmod +x?
[19:23] <fumanchu182> okay i am freaking out, i used my forehead to type and my screen has inverted colors, what key on my keyboard would be considered the "super" key?  as this is the key to undoing this...

[19:24] <xangua> stodertoad: Control+L

[19:29] <agnostic> question gparted: ok. I have a dualboot for ubuntu and vista. now i chanched the size of the ubuntu partition to 10GB and have now 116 GB unassigned space. But i can not change the size of the vista partition at all.

[19:30] <Kruptein> *channel :f
[19:30] <erUSUL> agnostic: have you installed ntfsprogs package? gparted needs it to handle ntfs operations
[19:30] <yeats> agnostic: you need to use Vista's "shrink partition" tool
[19:30] <Spirits-Sight> is there a way to turn off encrytion on home folder?
[19:30] <justask> are you able to run w7 or linux or not?
[19:30] <agnostic> erUSUL: I'll try, one instant.
[19:31] <justask> is that grub2?
[19:31] <agnostic> erUSUL: how is that package called?
[19:31] <seul> justask: i am not. I just get the screen "no such partition" and the "grub rescue>" thing. Yes i believe its grub 2, i had the latest version of ubuntu
[19:31] <erUSUL> !info ntfsprogs | agnostic
[19:32] <erUSUL> agnostic: restart gparted after installing it
[19:32] <misterblu> hi i have lot of problem with a new ubuntu machine and the driver for ndivia card, and also the touchpad driver
[19:32] <agnostic> erUSUL: does that work on liveboot via usb-hard-drive?
[19:32] <erUSUL> agnostic: yes
[19:32] <hobbel> join #libtorrent
[19:32] <misterblu> what can i do to resolve it
[19:33] <justask> seul try this wiki : http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/AmministrazioneSistema/Grub/Ripristino
[19:33] <justask> and let me know
[19:33] <evilbug> what is the default username and password on an ubuntu live  cd?
[19:33] <erUSUL> evilbug: none and blank password
[19:34] <smerz> you can just "sudo -s"
[19:34] <smerz> to get root shell
[19:34] <evilbug> i'm talking about the gui.
[19:34] <seul> justask: thats in italian, im not italian.
[19:34] <smerz> username i don't know
[19:34] <justask> ops sorry
[19:34] <erUSUL> evilbug: the livecd boots directly to a session you do not neeed username for anything
[19:34] <smerz> and you can set a pass by doing passwd i thnk
[19:34] <altoid> i used this to configure samba on 10.10: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaServerGuide. trying to start smdb or samba returns "unrecognized service". ideas?
[19:34] <milamber> evilbug: username ubuntu blank pass i think
[19:34] <milamber> ?
[19:35] <evilbug> erUSUL: the screen actually blanked out for a second and now asks me for a username and password.
[19:35] <erUSUL> altoid: is smbd
[19:35] <erUSUL> evilbug: o.0!
[19:35] <lina> to get access to the root account do passwd root in a shell
[19:35] <erUSUL> !rootpassword
[19:35] <altoid> erUSUL: what does "is smdb" mean?
[19:35] <Kruptein> is it safe to reinstall gdm?   with safe I mean, I do not lose any file except gdm related files?
[19:36] <erUSUL> altoid: smb is the name of the protocol d is for daemon like many others
[19:36] <agnostic> erUSUL: It doesn't work that way.
[19:36] <Kruptein> it will not break the system or such?
[19:36] <misterblu> if i active the driver and rebooting the pc the pc crash on boot after the first screen " ubuntu 10.10 poit, point point"
[19:36] <vAd0r> how do you do a release and renew for dhcp?
[19:36] <justask> seul this one: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359802&page=2
[19:36] <altoid> erUSUL: i understand, but that doesn't answer my question. >_>
[19:36] <altoid> wait, no.
[19:36] <misterblu> any one can help me
[19:36] <altoid> i'm facepalming, disregard me.
[19:36] <erUSUL> altoid: you made a typo. you said smdb in your question
[19:37] <ohir> justask: use dhclient for that
[19:37] <erUSUL> altoid: i was correcting you
[19:37] <Foobar3000> does anyone here use Picasa? trying to figure out if i can transfer db files from windows =/
[19:37] <altoid> erUSUL: thank you. i feel like an idiot now. :P
[19:37] <justask> ohir: maybe you meant that for vador^
[19:37] <agnostic> erUSUL: It doesn't work that way. It still looks like, there was no unassigned space. With the linux partitions, it would work fine.
[19:37] <erUSUL> altoid: :)
[19:38] <erUSUL> agnostic: post a screenshot of the gparted window
[19:38] <erUSUL> !screenshot | agnostic
[19:38] <misterblu> hey do you read my question
[19:38] <erUSUL> agnostic: you restarted gparted as i said right?
[19:38] <ohir> vAd0r: man dhclient (and related manuals) in console will tell you details
[19:38] <agnostic> jes, but i don't have x-chat there. Yes, is restarted.
[19:38] <ohir> justask: yes, I did
[19:38] <erUSUL> misterblu: yes; but nobody knows an answer ...
[19:38] <agnostic> but one moment...
[19:38] <misterblu> really
[19:38] <Kruptein> erUSUL: sorry to irritate you again, but does it harm the system if you reinstall gdm?
[19:39] <misterblu> but what can i do to resolve
[19:39] <evilbug> milamber: thanks, that was it.
[19:39] <erUSUL> Kruptein: reinstalling shouldn't be a problem afaics.
[19:39] <sparc> anymoreilovefairuz: thanks much.  i understand now, and sun's jre is installing.
[19:39] <evilbug> erUSUL: username was "ubuntu" and no password.
[19:39] <misterblu> i have two problems touchpad driver, can i charge the win driver, enda video driver prob
[19:39] <erUSUL> evilbug: good to know
[19:39] <erUSUL> evilbug: tyvm
[19:40] <justask> misterblu: you can via ndiswrapper
[19:40] <MrUnagi> is there a way to drop ANY ip that attempts to log in as root?
[19:40] <erUSUL> MrUnagi: just disable remote root login
[19:40] <Foobar3000> yeah
[19:40] <JKL_> why i dont see vmlinuz-2.6.22-virtual in /boot when uname -a shows the 2.6.35-22-virtual. also grub menu shows only the 35-22 eaven i just installed newer
[19:40] <erUSUL> MrUnagi: i guess you are talking about ssh
[19:40] <Foobar3000> MrUnagi: Best way to do that
[19:40] <MrUnagi> erUSUL: that wouldnt block the connections though would it
[19:40] <misterblu> justak what you mean
[19:40] <milamber> evilbug: np
[19:40] <erUSUL> MrUnagi: no
[19:41] <erUSUL> MrUnagi: if you want to block 90% of ssh connections attemps change ssh default port
[19:41] <agnostic> erUSUL: Do you know a place, where i could upload the screenshot temporary?
[19:41] <erUSUL> agnostic: i pointed one earlier
[19:41] <Kruptein> okay reinstalling gdm didn't do a thing, that means a clean reinstall :f

[19:42]  * erUSUL kicks the bot
[19:42] <evilbug> so i booted this ubuntu live image and gparted will not read the internall hdd at all. does this mean the hdd's gone?
[19:42] <justask> misterblu: with ndiswrapper you load the windows driver
[19:42] <justask> wasn't your question?
[19:42] <MrUnagi> evilbug: mount it
[19:42] <MrUnagi> evilbug: i dunno...
[19:42] <evilbug> MrUnagi: how would i mount it?
[19:42] <NewWorld> evilbug:  Do 'sudo fdisk -l'   mount the hdd
[19:42] <MrUnagi> evilbug: i dont think that it will help you but !mount
[19:42] <vAd0r> how do i reset my network after i changed it to static
[19:43] <misterblu> justask there are no driver for touchpad
[19:43] <evilbug> NewWorld: fdisk will only show me the usb stick i booted from, nothing else.
[19:43] <xangua> justask: i believe you don't know what you are saying
[19:43] <justask> really? no driver for windows?
[19:43] <misterblu> i means linus driver
[19:43] <xangua> misterblu: does it work fine in the live cd¿¿
[19:43] <erUSUL> vAd0r: sudo restart networking ?
[19:43] <MrUnagi> erUSUL: am i able to use any of the ports 1024-49151 or do i have to be above 49152
[19:43] <erUSUL> evilbug: see « dmesg | grep -i ata »
[19:44] <evilbug> and replace "ata" with "ide".
[19:44] <eviljames> gobbe: Aside from init 5, do you know where I could start looking to ensure the right modules, etc. are loaded to the initramfs ?
[19:44] <misterblu> xangua no, the touch pad is dead
[19:44] <eviljames> I guess they are, but the scripts are not calling for them..
[19:44] <Kruptein> erUSUL: is being ignored by the bot :D
[19:44] <justask> xangua you are making an assumption with no foundaments btw
[19:44] <vAd0r> i get unknown instance
[19:44] <misterblu> i need a mouse to mouve
[19:44] <erUSUL> MrUnagi: you ca use 1-6535 ( except fo the ones that are already in use :)
[19:44] <bartimaeus> what's the best way to remember my ssh passphrase?'
[19:44] <vAd0r> i changed vbox to bridged and reset now i cant get networking to work right
[19:45] <erUSUL> Kruptein: it got tired of me :)
[19:45] <xangua> misterblu: if it doesn't worked on the live cd, why did you installed it¿¿
[19:45] <agnostic> erUSUL: http://imagebin.org/132026 for the screenshot of gparted.
[19:45] <maco> bartimaeus: make it memorable?
[19:45] <MrUnagi> erUSUL: meaning in use on the machine itself....so i could use 25 if im not using smtp
[19:45] <NewWorld> evilbug:  As a last resort try to see if Windows can see it. You can burn Hiren's BootCD for a live mini windows
[19:45] <misterblu> heheheheh
[19:45] <xangua> misterblu: mmm sorry, i am not an expert of that kind of thinks of hardware detection, ubuntu detects evething i put them so never had an issue
[19:45] <bartimaeus> maco: no, isn't there a key-chain tool that will store passphrases
[19:45] <misterblu> i try a 10.04 but it doesn't work
[19:45] <agnostic> erUSUL: i want to change the size of sda1
[19:46] <maco> bartimaeus: yeah, seahorse
[19:46] <erUSUL> agnostic: you have a partition ( note the light blue frame ) in the free space you have to remove it before you can resize the first one
[19:46] <Kruptein> erUSUL: as you are calling it every second because of all those problems,  yes :D
[19:46] <misterblu> ok bye
[19:46] <evilbug> erUSUL: all i'm getting is an endless amount of errors.
[19:46] <bartimaeus> maco: I'll try that. Thanks1
[19:46] <bartimaeus> !
[19:46] <xangua> justask: and what windows drivers for are you suggestin¿¿ better stop ;)
[19:46] <evilbug> NewWorld: well if this won't read it then i lost hope.
[19:46] <erUSUL> evilbug: well; does not look good...
[19:47] <agnostic> erUSUL: So i have to delete the grub-loader + linux???
[19:47] <Kruptein> erUSUL: I can fix every problem I create and once every 6 months aprox  I screw up one thing so hard that whole my system just dies :D and then I come crying on this channel xD
[19:47] <evilbug> erUSUL: indeed.
[19:47] <erUSUL> evilbug: check the fisical conection maybe the sata cable is loose ( or even power connector )
[19:47] <evilbug> erUSUL: but it would be a hardware issue?
[19:47] <justask> xangua: better that than not having a driver
[19:47] <evilbug> erUSUL: i checked numerous times.
[19:47] <NewWorld> evilbug:  Maybe the jumpers are messed up. Like you know the pins on it that say master,slave,etc
[19:48] <erUSUL> agnostic: wait; i do not know german so i am trying to figure out what is in the screenshot
[19:49] <evilbug> NewWorld: well what's odd is that earlier when i booted an alternate install cd, the partitioner showed me the internal hdd.
[19:49] <erUSUL> agnostic: /me facepalm ... the windows partition is primary and the free space you got is in the extended partition ....
[19:49] <evilbug> NewWorld: but on the live desktop gparted will not give me anything nor will fdisk.
[19:49] <erUSUL> evilbug: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages
[19:50] <NewWorld> evilbug:  :S try 'cfdisk' in terminal
[19:50] <agnostic> erUSUL: So there is no possibility to give the vista more space?
[19:50] <erUSUL> agnostic: right click on the extend partition and see if you can shrink it
[19:51] <erUSUL> agnostic: you can create a ntfs partition there and that will appear in windows as another unit
[19:51] <agnostic> erUSUL: It's my mom's pc. She won't get it ^^
[19:51] <justask> erUSUL: would not be better to make it from windows than linux?
[19:51] <benji122> Hi, the command "sh -c set" shows SHELL='/bin/bash' instead of SHELL=/bin/bash (note the quotes). How can I know when that change occured plz ?
[19:51] <Kruptein> erUSUL: and I'm spamming you again,   as my screwed up ubuntu doesn't automagically recognize my usbs,  I did mount /dev/sdb /mount/point    but how do I know on which one my external hard disk is mounted? :D
[19:51] <erUSUL> agnostic: then as i said right click on the extend partition and see if you can shrink it
[19:52] <erUSUL> agnostic: do not know if gparted supports it
[19:52] <wm_scott> join #greenopolisdev
[19:52] <agnostic> erUSUL: no, that doesn't work.
[19:52] <justask> Kruptein: maybe you need to look the UUID of the disk
[19:52] <thieven> wm_scott, no i will not join that.
[19:53] <Kruptein> justask: and I would do that ... how? :p
[19:53] <Kruptein> there is also sdc1 which wasn't there before if I recall :)
[19:53] <Kruptein> can it be the hard drive?
[19:53] <justask> Kruptein: dont you have it in fstab?
[19:53] <erUSUL> agnostic: well then i dunno what to do; unless you can remove the ubuntu partitions
[19:53] <BluesKaj> gparted should be able shrink a ntfs partition , aslong it's the gparted live cd , you can't shrink apertition on a hdd that's in use
[19:53] <testo> hi im about to set up a printer server with ubuntu and i was wondering if i could use a client pc and configure the printer to be only reachable via samba
[19:53] <thieven> Kruptein, you can type sudo blkid to find that.
[19:54] <testo> so even the client pc goes through samba if he wants to print
[19:54] <Kruptein> justask nope it's an external hard drive ;)  but I think it's /dev/sdc as it seems to have the same ammount of space as the hard drive
[19:54] <agnostic> Ok, i may found out, that something is mounted... there is hope. one moment...
[19:54] <Kruptein> thieven: thanks that did indeed give the uuid, however I don't need it anymore ;) thanks anyway
[19:54] <evilbug> NewWorld, erUSUL: thanks for your help. i can't handle this anymore, my eyes are not going to stay open for longer.
[19:54] <erUSUL> BluesKaj: http://imagebin.org/132026 <<< he wants to grow the ntfs partition but gparted can not shrink the extended partition
[19:54] <evilbug> have a good one.
[19:54] <erUSUL> evilbug: no problem
[19:55] <testo> plus can i allow only administrators to change printer settings?
[19:55] <thieven> Kruptein, what is it you are trying to do to that ext. drive?
[19:55] <justask> Kruptein: sorry but i didn't follow you from start, so what is your problem?
[19:55] <GeekMan> which is better ubuntu lts or the most recent
[19:55] <erUSUL> !better
[19:55] <Kruptein> thieven actually that command was needed :D  thanks!
[19:55] <vAd0r> sudo ifup eth0 and i get /etc/network/interfaces:10: misplaced option ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
[19:55] <BluesKaj> erUSUL, is he using gparted live cd to edit the partition ?
[19:55] <thieven> heh. good!
[19:55] <justask> testo i guess yes...
[19:55] <milamber> testo: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html
[19:55] <erUSUL> BluesKaj: yes
[19:55] <alaing> can someone help me I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and I'm trying to use a d-link DW140 (virgin media supplied) wireless usb dongle  to connect to my network. I plugged it in and it seems to see my network but will not connect. I have disabled encryption and mac address control is turned off
[19:56] <benji122> Hi, the command "sh -c set" shows SHELL='/bin/bash' instead of SHELL=/bin/bash (note the quotes). How can I know when that change occured please ?
[19:56] <Kruptein> thieven, justask   basicly I screwed up my ubuntu GUI gnome and gdm,  but I can reach all my files trough tty so I'm trying to back them up,  but as I screwed up ubuntu, the system does not recognize my usbs and ext hard drives anymore like it would when you just plug them in :) so I need to mount them manually
[19:56] <agnostic> erUSUL: I think i unmounted everything. But gparted still means, that something of the extended is mounted.
[19:57] <thieven> Kruptein, i would guess your fstab is screwed up then...
[19:57] <justask> ok Kruptein
[19:57] <erUSUL> benji122: why would that matter ?
[19:57] <agnostic> erUSUL: Ok, i did something strange with the linux-swap, now it works. But i hope, i didnt destroy anything ^^
[19:57] <erUSUL> agnostic: ok; good luck
[19:57] <Kruptein> thieven that's possible as I think it all started with my nvidia driver that started doing abnormal things
[19:57] <GeekMan> when ur using lts you can only upgrade to the next lts this means i have better stablity correct
[19:58] <benji122> erUSUL, long story
[19:58] <thieven> that would be odd that the nvidia driver would do something to your drives or your fstab.
[19:58] <justask> Kruptein: video driver can mess many things...but not filesystem or drives
[19:58] <xangua> GeekMan: you can upgrade to normal versions too if you want
[19:58] <thieven> Kruptein, if you plug in your usb ext drive, does it mount? or you have to manually mount it?
[19:58] <erUSUL> benji122: sh in ubuntu is /bin/dash so the SHELL variable is missleading/not dependable. that's true with quotes or without them
[19:58] <Kruptein> justask let's assume it's a bunch of things that all happen together :D
[19:59] <GeekMan> whats the advantages and disadvantages im sure there arnt many though
[19:59] <Kruptein> thieven, I need to do it manually, but I now know how to do that ;)
[19:59] <azert> why XEN not usefull ? ilovefairuz
[19:59] <erUSUL> GeekMan: for a desktop i would use with normal releases
[19:59] <justask> we can call it accumulation of nasty events :-)
[19:59] <agnostic> erUSUL: Next time, if somebody asks: If you see this key-sign in gparted: that means, something is mounted ^^
[19:59] <BluesKaj> agnostic, what options do you have when you right click on the ntfs partition ?
[19:59] <thieven> Kruptein, it does sound like something wierd has happened to your OS. so yah, backup all your stuff and reinstall linux and you'll be good to go.
[20:00] <thieven> Kruptein, is there a prob in backing up your stuff?
[20:00] <GeekMan> im putting this on a desktop replacement (old gaming laptop)
[20:00] <justask> but if you can back up files...go for a wipe and reinstall it
[20:00] <Kruptein> justask: yes I didn't knew the english equivalent :D I was thinking the same in dutch :)
[20:00] <Kruptein> thieven untill now no problems and I hope it stays like it is :D
[20:00] <justask> only english for me...sorry
[20:01] <Kruptein> justask: no problem :p as long as we can communicate in a normal way it's fine :)
[20:01] <agnostic> BluesKaj: It worked if i klickt on the linux-swap partition and then klicked: "outsourcing-memory disabble" or something like that in English.
[20:01] <alaing> can someone help me I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and I'm trying to use a d-link DWA140 (virgin media supplied, H/W Version B1, f/w version 1.20E) wireless usb dongle  to connect to my network. I plugged it in and it seems to see my network but will not connect. I have disabled encryption and mac address control is turned off
[20:01] <Kruptein> thieven: I just need to free some space on the hard drive :f
[20:01] <thieven> i can only communicate with a keyboard.
[20:01] <justask> yep xd
[20:01] <eviljames> Attempting to run ubuntu 10.10 from my lvm root, initramfs is apparently misbehaving.  Refuses to boot, drops me at the busybox/initramfs prompt.  From that prompt I can modprobe dm_mod ; vgscan ; vgchange -ay and then mount root, but I don't know why this isn't happening automatically by the initramfs.  Anyone know much about this initramfs / lvm / raid / ubuntu combination?
[20:01] <justask> alaing: so it wont ask for wireless pwd?
[20:02] <Kruptein> I join the club thieven :p
[20:02] <GeekMan> ooooo i just remebered (see im putting this install on my second hard drive i have two physical harddrives on my laptop, how would you set up the machine to duel boot if vista is on drive one and my linux will be placed on drive 2) they can not raid it sucks
[20:02] <thieven> with translate.google.com i can communicate in whatever language you want.
[20:02] <Guest94989> Hello, I can not open the About Me application.
[20:02] <alaing> justask: yes the icon in the top right just goes around and around as if its tryingto connect but does nothing
[20:02] <justask> eviljames: that a powerful but maybe not so stable combination :-)
[20:03] <Kruptein> thieven I always think I am, untill I need to do my french homework :D

[20:03] <ZnaxQue> ops, thought I was in DOS lol
[20:03] <justask> alaing: never worked?
[20:04] <rusty149> Guest94989: Open terminal and type gnome-about-me  , if it does not load then pastebin the output
[20:04] <erUSUL> agnostic: no problem
[20:04] <jdahm> where did /etc/csh.cshrc go in 10.10? and where can I get this from?  When I execute csh scripts, I'm getting teh error: /etc/csh.cshrc no such file or directory.
[20:04] <alaing> justask:  yes its never worked
[20:04] <BluesKaj> agnostic, which windows OS is installed on the ntfs partition ?
[20:04] <Joshua___> Hello, I can not open the About Me application. How can I solve this?
[20:04] <Kruptein> rusty149: I'm afraid he left :D
[20:04] <Sean93> how can i add a new keyboard layout that is the same as my current on but with 2 keys moved. i need to be able to which between them
[20:04] <erUSUL> !find /etc/csh.cshrc
[20:04] <Sean93> one*
[20:05] <eviljames> justask: It's fine under Slackware :P  I just gotta get more familiar with the ins-n-outs of ubuntu so that I know how to fix what goes wrong.
[20:05] <jdahm> oh, I only installed csh, not tcsh
[20:05] <Kruptein> ubottu you're being slow!
[20:05] <erUSUL> jdahm: 21:04 < ubottu> File /etc/csh.cshrc found in tcsh
[20:05] <justask> alaing and if you turn off wpa/wep protection? just for testing
[20:05] <rusty149> Kruptein: maybe it worked
[20:05] <Kruptein> rusty149: you tried to help that's the most important ;)
[20:05] <jdahm> erUSUL: ah ok see my comment above ^.  Thanks!
[20:06] <justask> i would have bet slackware was more tough to configure
[20:06] <Kruptein> erUSUL: where do you find a list with all ubottu commands?
[20:06] <erUSUL> jdahm: i would remove csh
[20:06] <_ProGammer> hey ubuntu guys
[20:06] <erUSUL> Kruptein: in my head ;P
[20:06] <Kruptein> erUSUL: damn :p
[20:06] <erUSUL> Kruptein: he has search and find and the factoids
[20:06] <eviljames> justask: Nah, slackware does things 'by the book', no patches, no grub, no fuss, no muss :D
[20:06] <_ProGammer> i am going to run ubuntu iso from my flash memory
[20:06] <erUSUL> Kruptein: a few more only used by the ops
[20:06] <eviljames> justask: I've been using Slack for > 10 years though..
[20:06] <justask> nice...will give it a shot in a VM as i have more time
[20:06] <GeekMan> so any thoughts on how i would do that would grub realize that windows was on drive one if i install it on a diffrent physical drive
[20:06] <justask> wow
[20:07] <erUSUL> !bot | Kruptein
[20:07] <_ProGammer> does my new installed application gone after restart!!!!!!
[20:07] <justask> does it suit well even for beginners? i mean basic linux skilled ones
[20:07] <Kruptein> okay thanks for all the help! I have to go now ,  and thanks  @ erUSUL I'm going to bookmark that :p
[20:07] <venik> In my HOME folder I have both Thunderbird and Mozilla-Thunderbird.  Which should I keep?  I am sure one is bogus
[20:08] <eviljames> justask: It is as user friendly as a rattlesnake.
[20:08] <_ProGammer> i am going to run ubuntu iso from my flash memory ,does my new installed application gone after restart!!!!!!
[20:08] <agnostic> BluesKaj: Vista ^^
[20:08] <justask> thas is a good image
[20:08] <justask> will try it thogh in spare moments
[20:08] <erUSUL> _ProGammer: yes unless you do a persistant usb install
[20:08] <erUSUL> !usb | _ProGammer
[20:08] <justask> can i just pick latest and greatest?
[20:08] <thieven> "Progammer" yes it does leave after you restart. that is normal.
[20:08] <eviljames> justask: So, in short, no.  Not friendly at all.  Very worth it if you want to go from being basic linux skills to intermediate/advanced though.
[20:09] <erUSUL> _ProGammer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[20:09] <justask> ok clear
[20:09] <venik> In my HOME folder I have both Thunderbird and Mozilla-Thunderbird. Which should I keep? I am sure one is bogus-- can anyone help?
[20:09] <justask> i imagined that
[20:09] <Joshua___> Hello, I can not open the About Me application. How can I solve this?
[20:09] <thieven> venik, mail.google.com works best.
[20:09] <agnostic> ahh, now i get it. posts with youre nicknname appear in color. its that right?
[20:10] <nirazio> Is it possible to automatically launch gksudo whenever I open a text file without write permissions in Nautilus? I often need to edit my /etc/hosts file and sometimes I forget to right click and select "Open as administrator".
[20:10] <alaing> i just tried with wpa turned off and it still did not connect
[20:10] <_ProGammer> im not going to install it via USB
[20:10] <thieven> agnostic, right. they show up to alert you that someone has talked at you.
[20:10] <_ProGammer> i want use my linux from usb
[20:10] <glider> Yo... so why does Ubuntu think my Acer trackpad is a mouse?
[20:10] <skutr3> hello
[20:11] <thieven> glider, a touchpad is a mouse. essentially.
[20:11] <skutr3> what are the disadvantages of doing a wubi install?
[20:11] <agnostic> glider: because it is a mouse???
[20:11] <sam-_-> nirazio, not possible imho. would be nice though.
[20:11] <trism> Joshua___: try opening a terminal and running: gnome-about-me; it may give useful error messages
[20:11] <GeekMan> i used wubi
[20:11] <rumpe2> venik, well ... move one folder somewhere else and start thunderbird... if it produces error/looks different, move it back
[20:11] <GeekMan> it was ok i can barely remeber but it ran well
[20:11] <rusty149> venik: You maybe a link to the other, this supports out-of-date/incorrect pathnames. Use, ls -la ~  , to see a list of files and there links
[20:11] <edbian> skutr3: It's a hack so the problems that arise are somtimes harder to fix.  Additionally it's locked inside windows so if you want to remove windows but not Ubuntu it's a much more complicated process.
[20:12] <thieven> skutr3, do a live cd. see if you like it. (a live usb key is best / faster) and if you do like it, install it with windows.  wubi - i dont get the point of wubi....
[20:12] <skutr3> ok
[20:12] <glider> Okay.. what I mean is, under mouse preferences, I do not have the "touchpad" option.
[20:12] <alaing> justask: i just tried with wpa turned off and it still did not connect
[20:12] <skutr3> thieven: i tried it doesnt work
[20:12] <teicah> when I change the icon of an item on the desktop where does that preference get stored?
[20:12] <glider> It treats my touchpad as just a mouse, and it is driving me nutz.
[20:12] <justask> eviljames: and which version can i pick? latest?
[20:12] <LaurenK> can i test this on the live cd without restarting to see if it works? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378782&highlight=148f:3070
[20:12] <rumpe2> teicah, on the desktop in *.desktop-files
[20:12] <GeekMan> i was worried about screwing up my gaming laptop at the time so i ran wubi :)
[20:12] <thieven> skutr3, you tried a live cd / live usb key and that didn't work? how did it not work?
[20:12] <justask> alaing: same behaviour?
[20:12] <sam-_-> skutr3, it's just for trying out ubuntu imho. rly. shouldn't use wubi on a production system.
[20:12] <alaing> yes
[20:12] <Joshua___> trism, thanks! i removed to much from my system :)
[20:12] <linuxnewbie> how do I copy files using elevated priveledges?
[20:13] <eviljames> justask: 13.1 is best, for now.
[20:13] <GeekMan> plus i wanted to try it
[20:13] <venik> I thought someone would simply know the answer, to save me the kind of tinkering and experimenting suggested here.  Thanks for trying
[20:13] <justask> sudo?
[20:13] <edbian> linuxnewbie: sudo cp
[20:13] <Joshua___> trism, i found the culprit!
[20:13] <eviljames> justask: until a new version is released.
[20:13] <justask> k thanks
[20:13] <rumpe2> linux_probe, sudo cp -a file destination
[20:13] <erUSUL> linuxnewbie: sudo cp file new/dir
[20:13] <aeon-ltd> linuxnewbie: sudo cp pathtofile newpath
[20:13] <amigrave> when using two monitor (main monitor under the secondary one), maximized windows title goes beneath the top panel. I googled about this and it seems a lot of people have this problem but I could not find a solution.
[20:13] <trism> Joshua___: excellent!
[20:13] <thieven> alaing, a lot of laptops have a wifi button on the side of it. make sure that wifi is enabled.
[20:13] <linuxnewbie> edbian: I mean, can I do it using the GUI
[20:13] <linuxnewbie> it's about 50 files
[20:13] <justask> do they have yearly-like releases?
[20:13] <linuxnewbie> and I don't want to type all the names
[20:13] <skutr3> thieven: it doesnt let me install i try to allocate drive space and it says no file system specified or something like that
[20:13] <edbian> linuxnewbie: to open nautilus as root you can simply gksudo nautilus.  You shouldn't do this unless you have to.
[20:13] <rusty149> linuxnewbie: Do they all begin with the same thing?
[20:13] <rumpe2> linux_probe, -a preserves the permissions/attributes
[20:14] <justask> i hope it has kde - dont want to stick to gnome if possible
[20:14] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: You there?
[20:14] <linuxnewbie> rusty149: they're all in the same directory
[20:14] <precubcr> hello
[20:14] <alaing> thieven its not a laptop and I'm using a usb dongle not builtin wifi
[20:14] <precubcr> question
[20:14] <thieven> skutr3, it can work. you are just a little confused is all.
[20:14] <LaurenK> can i blacklist a module with out restarting?
[20:14] <linuxnewbie> edbian: why not?
[20:14] <precubcr> grimpwepa, kubuntu 10.10 ?
[20:14] <J0hnD40n3> kyle___ yeah
[20:14] <erUSUL> linuxnewbie: if there is something common about them you can use wildcards « sudo cp *.txt dir/ » will copy all files with txt extension
[20:14] <thieven> alaing, that's probaly the problem. no driver support fo that dongle.
[20:14] <skutr3> thieven how can i get it to work then?
[20:14] <rusty149> linuxnewbie: sudo cp /path/to/directory/* /dest/pth
[20:14] <J0hnD40n3> kyle____ yeah
[20:14] <thieven> skutr3, it boots fine? that usb key...
[20:14] <edbian> linuxnewbie: It's a security flaw.  Additionally you might accidentally delete files / folders you really shouldn't
[20:14] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: All fixed.
[20:14] <linuxnewbie> ok
[20:15]  * linuxnewbie tries rusty149's suggestion
[20:15] <alaing> thieven it picks up my wifi and "tries" to connect but nothing happens
[20:15] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9932369&postcount=5
[20:15] <J0hnD40n3> kyle____ nice, what did you do?
[20:15] <skutr3> thieven: i use a cd and it boots fine
[20:15] <justask> LaurenK: did you try to rmmod it before?
[20:15] <skutr3> thieven: do you want me to go do a trial session and talk to you from there?
[20:15] <GeekMan> i have the worst time with wifi cards and linux on desk tops lol
[20:15] <edbian> GeekMan: Everybody does
[20:15] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: I had to do the middle of page, attach and edit GRUB.cfg
[20:15] <LaurenK> I need to see if this hardware works before i install ubuntu
[20:16] <J0hnD40n3> kyle____ kwl
[20:16] <LaurenK> they told me blacklist a certain moduel and restart and it may work
[20:16] <rusty149> linuxnewbie: also sudo cp -R source path   , will copy recursively for directories
[20:16] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: Thanks for your help.
[20:16] <J0hnD40n3> kyle___ that will be why reinstalling worked for me
[20:16] <thieven> skutr3, select the option to 'try without touching your stystem' or whatever they call it. when it gets into ubuntu. then go to system - admin - gparted (or partition editor) or whatever they call it.
[20:16] <J0hnD40n3> your welcome
[20:16] <justask> laurenk what is the troubled device?
[20:16] <J0hnD40n3> kyle____ do you have a website?
[20:16] <thieven> skutr3,  in there you can do what you want to your hardrive and move and edit it all day long.
[20:16] <GeekMan> so can grub handle running 2 os's on 2 seperate drives
[20:16] <LaurenK> RT3070
[20:16] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: infact i have another, any good on grub?
[20:16] <GeekMan> easily
[20:16] <eviljames> I wonder, how foolish is it for me to chroot into ubuntu from my slackware to install stuff?
[20:17] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: Yes i do have a website..
[20:17] <edbian> GeekMan: yes
[20:17] <skutr3> thieven: ok lemme cancel the wubi install and get back to you
[20:17] <J0hnD40n3> kyle____ nope :P
[20:17] <rusty149> GeekMan: At different times, yes
[20:17] <J0hnD40n3> kyle____ but I got a hosting company
[20:17] <thieven> skutr3, yeah, i think wubi install is kinda dumb...
[20:17] <GeekMan> yeah
[20:17] <edbian> eviljames: Not very silly at all.
[20:17] <linuxnewbie> rusty149: how do I copy from one HDD to another?
[20:17] <frxstrem> is there a way to create autorun files for CD/DVD discs etc. for Linux software?
[20:17]  * BluesKaj finds ir very odd that gparted won't access ntfs on agnostic 's pc...is the partition/drive encrypted?
[20:17] <linuxnewbie> my source is on a HDD named OS
[20:17] <edbian> skutr3: wubi is annoying.  Be a real man and install Ubuntu proper :)
[20:17] <Arachon> Hey, I can't get workspaces (virtual desktops) working in Ubuntu Netbook (lucid)
[20:17] <eviljames> edbian: -phew- glad to figure that out _after_ I had already done it :D
[20:17] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: Confused, yeh i have too..
[20:17] <rusty149> linuxnewbie: Mount the HDD to a dir, then cp to the dir
[20:17] <thieven> alaing, so it sees your wifi (fromthe router) and can't connect to it?
[20:17] <edbian> eviljames: wubi?  hahaha
[20:17] <GeekMan> so i wont need to manually tell grub where to find the windows part
[20:17] <skutr3> edbian: ok haha
[20:18] <vAd0r> how do i fix eth0.  i do sudo ifdown eth0 and it says ifdown: interface eth0 not configured?
[20:18] <skutr3> thieven hold on a sec
[20:18] <alaing> thieven: yes
[20:18] <J0hnD40n3> kyle____ cool, is it reseller or do you have your own servers?
[20:18] <LaurenK> justask, it's a generic wireless usb card with the ralink chipset rt3070
[20:18] <rusty149> linuxnewbie:  It is probably already mounted
[20:18] <eviljames> edbian: Nah, i'm working through a painful initramfs issue atm..
[20:18] <GeekMan> OHHHHH the cool thing about wubi was that it uses your windows mbr and boot loader so you dont loose any of that stuff
[20:18] <GeekMan> thats why i did it :)
[20:18] <thieven> alaing, you don't have anythign like mac address filtering or something like that set on that router?
[20:18] <eviljames> edbian: Know anything about ubuntu w/ root on lvm under raid0 ?
[20:18] <linuxnewbie> rusty149: it is, but if I type /OS/... it won't work
[20:18] <linuxnewbie> also, /OS won't work
[20:18] <linuxnewbie> er
[20:19] <skutr3> thieven: i have to uninstall wubi now cause it got finished before i could cancel.....
[20:19] <linuxnewbie> OS/...
[20:19] <kyle____> I infact have access to both. easier access to reseller. i save my own for me.
[20:19] <justask> eviljames: maybe i lost your answer, do the slackware has a yearly-timed release of versions?
[20:19] <edbian> eviljames: no :(
[20:19] <alaing> thieven: normally i do but i have turned them off and rebooted the router to apply th settings
[20:19] <agnostic> BluesKaj, the problem went allong, when i klicked on the linux-sqap partition in gparted ans selected "desable outsourcing-memorisation". I don't know, how that is called in English.
[20:19] <thieven> skutr3, i don't thinkyou need to uninstall it. you can just leave it there if you want.
[20:19] <macotech> Hi folks
[20:19] <ZnaxQue> hi
[20:19] <edbian> skutr3: It's installed mess around with it for a bit at least!
[20:19] <macotech> how to setup cron in ubuntu
[20:19] <erUSUL> agnostic: you did swapoff in the swap partition
[20:19] <J0hnD40n3> kyle____ cool, I got a reseller, JJ-Host.co.uk with heart internet

[20:19] <erUSUL> !info gnome-schedule  | macotech
[20:20] <justask> thieven: he said they were turned off
[20:20] <thieven> Arachon, what doesn't work?
[20:20] <rusty149> linuxnewbie: where is it mounted?
[20:20] <thieven> what is turned off?
[20:20] <Arachon> thieven: Workspaces, can' switch between them, even though metacity tells me I have 4
[20:20] <kyle____> J0hnD40n3: pm?
[20:20] <skutr3> thieven: one sec
[20:20] <alaing> thieven i have another usb dongle and that connects without any problems
[20:20] <thieven> Arachon, does hitting ctrl-alt-(right cursor key) work?
[20:21] <Arachon> thieven: Nope
[20:21] <eviljames> justask: Nope, Slackware releases happen when they are ready.  if you ask a slackware maintainer when the next release will be, the response will always be "When it is ready."
[20:21] <skutr3> thieven: ok its gone
[20:21] <GeekMan> another question that bugs me what key combo is force close
[20:21] <thieven> alaing 'oooh, right. it's a usb dongle... that is the problem i bet.
[20:21] <crawler> frxstrem: i don't think it is possible to do autorun on linux
[20:21] <skutr3> thieven: im going to boot from disc and get back to you]
[20:21] <crawler> frxstrem: i would consider it a security risk
[20:21] <justask> so no one can bother on timings...
[20:21] <thieven> alaing, i bet there is no support fo r that usb dongle. take the model number of it and do a google search for it and linux. see what you find.
[20:21] <justask> nice solution
[20:21] <linuxnewbie> rusty149: ah, /media
[20:22] <thieven> skutr3, that is a good plan mate.
[20:22]  * linuxnewbie really IS a noob newb
[20:22] <linuxnewbie> :(
[20:22] <linuxnewbie> oh well, ti worked
[20:22] <alaing> thanks i'll have a look
[20:22] <linuxnewbie> thanks

[20:23] <vAd0r> how do i fix eth0.  i do sudo ifdown eth0 and it says ifdown: interface eth0 not configured?
[20:23] <thieven> Arachon, i don't have knowledge about using the netbook remix as  i personally hate it. so i uninstalled it after trying to use it for 3.2 minutes.
[20:23] <thieven> Arachon, maybe you are noting what i noticed...
[20:23] <Arachon> thieven: Fair enough
[20:23] <erUSUL> vAd0r: and have it been configured?
[20:24] <rusty149> GeekMan: I usually double click X icon
[20:24] <Danny78> how do I apt-get the debian unstable version of a package?
[20:24] <Arachon> I'm liking it generally, nice layot, but it's not too clear on certain topics
[20:24] <justask> vador is that a new issue or never worked?
[20:24] <Arachon> UNE 10.10 was horrible though
[20:24] <erUSUL> Danny78: using debian unstable and not ubuntu ?
[20:24] <thieven> Arachon, i can't find anything in it! heh. you want to launch something and it's just not there in the menus.
[20:24] <GeekMan> oh yeah? i mean if its locked up and your mouse is frozen or what not
[20:25] <thieven> Arachon, yeah, i'm talking about 10.10....
[20:25] <rusty149> GeekMan: CTRL+ALT+SYSRQ+B
[20:25] <Danny78> erUSUL:  I have to because of a bug that prevents me from downloading dnsproxy for SAMBA
[20:25] <GeekMan> rusty149 thx
[20:25] <Arachon> thieven: I had that problem with 10.10 and the Unity interface, but IMO 10.4 is a lot better, everything is properly categorized like in the Desktop Edition
[20:25] <Arachon> And a lot faster

[20:25] <Danny78> erUSUL:  ignore that
[20:26] <erUSUL> Danny78: mixing ubuntu and debain repos is not supported ...
[20:26] <Danny78> erUSUL:  there's no other way I've found to be able to install dnsproxy
[20:26] <sam-_-> Danny78, erUSUL, but you can manually download and then dpkg -force-blabal
[20:26] <GeekMan> i guess i will get the ubuntu desktop edt. lts
[20:26] <folklore> I wonder if FloodBot was created on ubuntu :D
[20:27] <fluvvell> Danny78, why don't you try dnsmasq instead.  Why do you need dnsproxy ?
[20:27] <erUSUL> Danny78: sudo apt-get install dnsproxy errors out? or what is exactly the problem with the ubuntu version of the package?
[20:27] <Danny78> fluvvell:  Samba package requires it
[20:27] <justask> eviljames: and after many years are you still happy with that? or just because you know it well
[20:27] <erUSUL> folklore: ask the coder? he is here ;P
[20:27] <lithpr> when doing remote desktop control for ubuntu,  what would you recommend using vnc?  I see it listed in the "remote desktop viewer" app in 10.10...
[20:27] <thieven> Arachon, yeah i thin it's the unity thing that i hate.   i curse the day when ubuntu switches to that.     i think i will have to stay on maverick for years....
[20:27] <GeekMan> i just hope i dont f up my mbr and find out grub lost my windows drive
[20:28] <Arachon> thieven: They'll be improving it in 11.04/11.10 though, or so I'm told
[20:28] <Arachon> And then you can always install GNOME yourself, no?
[20:28] <Danny78> one sec....
[20:28] <thieven> GeekMan, if you f up yer mbr, do not worry as grub can fix it.
[20:28] <eviljames> justask: Both.  I am happy with Slackware's approach of super-simple, stripped down Linux, and I know it fairly well.  The only reason I'm considering moving is because there's apparently a significant performance difference for ubuntu studio
[20:28] <fluvvell> Danny78, which samba package requires it? I have samba installed, no dsnproxy though?
[20:28] <eviljames> justask: So, I put it onto an LV, but now I can't get initramfs to finish the loading :D
[20:28] <kyle____> anyone know how to edit grub to auto select option.
[20:28] <GeekMan> one thing i never learned to do
[20:28] <sam-_-> thieven, you don't have to use unity.
[20:28] <justask> i guess it's optimized for 64 bit
[20:28] <sam-_-> thieven, you can always choose gnome
[20:29] <GeekMan> i think i tried
[20:29] <Danny78> fluvvell:  simply  "samba"
[20:29] <thieven> Arachon, well yeah, they'll alwyas be improving on it... but will it still be horrible? heh, i doubt it. i bet it'll be good in a year or two.
[20:29] <ZnaxQue> brb
[20:29] <Danny78> Ubuntu 10.04
[20:29] <erUSUL> fluvvell: Danny78 the real question is what is the problem with doing « sudo apt-get install dnsproxy » and use the ubuntu version
[20:29] <GeekMan> any ways thaks all
[20:29] <justask> i dont know <anything> about lvm
[20:29] <thieven> sam is there an easy way to do that with the netbook remix?
[20:29] <justask> so i cant give you stupid advices :-)
[20:29] <Arachon> thieven: Yeah, can't say I don't see your point... But I'm hopeful, maybe it's just newbie naivety though
[20:29] <Danny78> erUSUL:  http://pastebin.com/rZz4Ggdm  that's the error output on install
[20:29] <sam-_-> thieven, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[20:30] <justask> but why are you using it? just to test? or it's a raid like
[20:30] <skutr3> thieven: hey im back
[20:30] <Deathsbreed_> all of you in here spread word to all people that there cpu's might be in danger by a virus going around in a website download on this website: http://rapidshare.com/#!download|909l33|412120951|Darkorbit_Uridium_Tool.exe|352
[20:30] <Danny78> erUSUL:  it's a sub-process error (script error status one)
[20:30] <skutr3> thieven: im on the trial
[20:30] <thieven> sam maybe i should have tried that before i formatted that mofo.
[20:30] <thieven> heh
[20:30] <fluvvell> erUSUL. quite.  my thought was, sometimes trying an alternative can clarify the problem
[20:30] <pupuserc1803c> hi
[20:30] <erUSUL> Danny78: i see
[20:30] <sam-_-> Danny78, maybe the package is corrupt. sudo apt-get --purge autoremove dnsproxy && sudo apt-get clean
[20:30] <thieven> skutr3, now you can use gparted to move around your partitions on your hard drive. yay.
[20:30] <Deathsbreed_> it's a trojan
[20:31] <lithpr> oic - ubuntu come with a remote desktop applet in System->Preferences
[20:31] <skutr3> thieven: what do i do?
[20:31] <Deathsbreed_> be careful what you download
[20:31] <skutr3> thieven: can we pm?
[20:31] <thieven> sure.
[20:31] <eviljames> justask: for me?  Why am I using which?
[20:32] <Deathsbreed_> did you even see what I wrote a while back?
[20:32] <erUSUL> Danny78: i see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsproxy/+bug/567008 <<< better option dwonload the deb from debian and install it; do not add the repo

[20:33] <GaryD> hello. i have a printing problem. i am using a deskjet 3740 printer. the problem is that it doesn't print any black text. for example, if i print a page from google it only prints the links and menu items. how can i fix this?
[20:33] <Deathsbreed_> and it's a link to the download of the virus
[20:33] <justask> eviljames: i asked why you use LVM - you have practical reasons havent you?
[20:33] <breadcrumb> Deathsbreed_ well its pointless... and irrelevant to this channel anyway
[20:33] <Deathsbreed_> I would never put a virus on here
[20:34] <Danny78> erUSUL:  oh wait, thats what I was looking at already--  and that's my question--  how do I install the unstable debian package?
[20:34] <erUSUL> GaryD: buy new  black ink ?
[20:34] <Deathsbreed_> I hate people who make virus'
[20:34] <afancy_> Hi, how to disable IPv6 in Ubuntu 10.04 as it does not support Hadoop.

[20:34] <coder_> Hello!
[20:34] <erUSUL> Danny78: download the deb from the packages site of debian do « sudo dpkg -i file.deb »
[20:34] <eviljames> justask: Well, I semi-practical.  1) better volume management.  I plan to test a variety of studio distros, ubuntu studio being the first of these tests.  2) so that I knew how it was done, of course  and 3) because I can :D
[20:35] <Deathsbreed_> oh sorry
[20:35] <Deathsbreed_> bye
[20:35] <GaryD> erUSUL: the printer has a color cartridge that usuaally prints black as well.
[20:35] <sam-_-> afancy_, shouldn't conflict with hadoop if you just leave it unconfigured
[20:35] <FaiLican> anyone that have an IPS that provide ipv6 ?
[20:35] <justask> the third reason is enough...do you have many disks/filesystems?
[20:35] <Danny78> erUSUL:  I get "cannot access archive: No such file or directory"
[20:35] <testo> does a printer share via cups work with windows too=?
[20:36] <sam-_-> FaiLican, maybe by the end of this year :-)
[20:36] <erUSUL> Danny78: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
 Hi, how to disable IPv6 in Ubuntu 10.04 as it does not support Hadoop.            it's auto disabled. right click on your internet connections icon (up by the clock in your panel) and you will see in there that it is off by default.
[20:36] <erUSUL> Danny78: you have to dwonload the file
[20:36] <rusty1491> testto: yes
[20:36] <milamber> !print | test
[20:36] <FaiLican> sam-_-: whats ur ips?
[20:36] <rusty1491> testo: yes
[20:36] <Danny78> erUSUL:  ah, sorry
[20:36] <sam-_-> FaiLican, you mean isp?
[20:36] <erUSUL> Danny78: here http://packages.debian.org/sid/dnsproxy
[20:36] <testo> rusty1491: also with auth?
[20:37] <sam-_-> FaiLican, i assumed internet service provider
[20:37] <afancy_> sam-_-: but my current problem is that it doesnot work
[20:37] <erUSUL> Danny78: choose the right cpu arch ( amd64 or i386 )
[20:37] <sam-_-> afancy_, in what way doesn't it work
[20:37] <FaiLican> sam-_-:  yeh i ment that :p
[20:37] <sam-_-> FaiLican, vodafone
[20:37] <rusty1491> testo: yes, as the cups config
[20:37] <afancy_> sam-_-: the jetty is not able to start in Hadoop
[20:37] <sam-_-> FaiLican, not sure if they are in sweden too
[20:37] <fluvvell> erSUL, sorry to but in again but I can see no requirement for dsnproxy with samba!! There is an option to set in the config called dns proxy, but it does not require packages! Is Danny78 on a wild goose chase?
[20:37] <FaiLican> sam-_-: okey, there not in sweden, damn;/
[20:38] <FaiLican> sam-_-: thx anyways
[20:38] <sam-_-> afancy_, jetty? i'm not rly. familiar with hadoop
[20:38] <GaryD> this printer has always printed black ink with just the one multi-color cartridge in windows. now it will not print black at all.

[20:38] <afancy_> sam-_-: http://dpaste.com/303981/
[20:39] <Danny78> fluvvell:  when I sudo apt-get install samba it produces the dnsproxy failure...  maybe we have different situations?
[20:39] <sam-_-> FaiLican, why is it important? it will only bring problems
[20:39] <erUSUL> Danny78: that's just becouse the package is half installed
[20:39] <testo> rusty1491: i get my users from an ldap server, would it work to allow all users on this pc and the ldap ones (theyre fetched automatically via nscd) to allow printing?
[20:39] <fluvvell> Danny78, exactly what failure does it produce? Can you pastebin the error?
[20:39] <fluvvell> maybe its a meerkat thing
[20:39] <erUSUL> Danny78: can you purge it « sudo apt-get purge dnsproxy » ?
[20:39] <sam-_-> FaiLican, if you want to play with ipv6 then consider tunneling

[20:41] <herghost> Trying to install a game from CD using Wine (game listed as Platinum on wine db) - can't install because .exe files don't have +x bit set - but it's a read only file system!  help?
[20:41] <fluvvell> Danny78, I was meaning the error from samba, but as has been suggested before - can you purge remove the package first?
[20:41] <FaiLican> sam-_-: okey, i've read that i can simulate ipv6 with linux
[20:41] <rusty1491> testo: you may have to look at the cups config then, http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html
[20:41] <testo> rusty1491: ty
[20:42] <GaryD> i am using a deskjet 3740 printer. the problem is that it doesn't print any black text. for example, if i print a page from google it only prints the links and menu items. how can i fix this? this printer has always printed black ink with just the one multi-color cartridge in windows. now it will not print black at all.
[20:42] <inknoir> i would like to play a song/a playlist in moc and then shutdown. mocp blabla && shutdown doesn't work. any hints?
[20:42] <tucemiux> herghost, try copying the CD's contents on the local drive?  There could also be other tricks, I suggest you use the forums
[20:42] <sam-_-> afancy_, what makes you think it's an issue with ipv6?
[20:43] <inknoir> herghost: had the same problem, it helped to start the exe with wine from commandline
[20:43] <sam-_-> afancy_, you can list open ports with sudo netstat -tulpen
[20:43] <Danny78> erUSUL:  does "sudo apt-get --purge autoremove dnsproxy && sudo apt-get clean" purge dnsproxy?  sam had suggested that which I did
[20:43] <herghost> tucemiux, inknoir: thanks.  I will try both. :)
[20:43] <sam-_-> Danny78, you have to reinstall it after that of course
[20:44] <rusty1491> testo: cups on its own should do that automatically.
[20:44] <herghost> inknoir: ha!  command line worked instantly.  Thanks again!
[20:44] <Danny78> sam-_-:  yes, I know-- I tried to download and install the deb package and it failed the same just now
[20:44] <tdowning> @garyd I would suspect that CUPS is seeing your printer as not quite the right model, perhaps there was one that had both tri-color and a black cartridge at the same time.
[20:44] <sam-_-> Danny78, then the package is broken
[20:45] <inknoir> herghost: :)
[20:45] <afancy_> sam-_-: you can see here http://dpaste.com/304238/
[20:45] <fluvvell> Danny78, sam-_-,erUSUL  he doesn't need dnsproxy for samba. I've got it running in a dozen servers, and none of them mention dnsproxy!  its a setting in his config file called dns proxy
[20:45] <spawnalex> hi
[20:46] <Danny78> sam-_-:  I read where one of the mucky-muck bug-hunters said its settings in dnsproxy.conf were set to an IP address specifically, and if your server isn't that addy, you get this error
[20:46] <opasan> Is there any program that gives the option of reloading unity, like the compiz fuzion icon? Or some commands in terminal that will do the same thing?
[20:46] <crawler> !hi | spawnalex
[20:46] <afancy_> sam-_-: as if my hadoop run properly, when i run wget sister1:50070, it should get a page.
[20:46] <spawnalex> somebody can help me in shorewall and dansguardian
[20:47] <spawnalex> hi crawler
[20:47] <afancy_> sam-_-: now the address is 0.0.0.0:50070, is it running IPv6?
[20:47] <nisstyre> afancy_, no
[20:47] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I'd still like to fix this, unless you want to help me set up samba?
[20:47] <nisstyre> that's an ipv4 address
[20:47] <sam-_-> afancy_, no. ipv6 addresses look different
[20:48] <fluvvell> Danny78, I think setting up samba would be far quicker!
[20:48] <tdowning> IPv6 addresses are in Hex, look like a long MAC address.
[20:48] <afancy_> sam-_-: really? so what the problem is? could you help me? i have struggled it for one day.
[20:48] <fluvvell> remove your dnsproxy package again first
[20:49] <sam-_-> afancy_, i don't know. like i said. i didn't ever work with hadoop
[20:49] <GaryD> tdowning: cheanged driver options. worked like a charm...you're the man (or woman)!
[20:49] <Danny78> fluvvell:  that's really what I'm wanting to get done at this point
[20:49] <fluvvell> Danny78, quite.
[20:49] <fluvvell> its a matter of "fix the right problem"
[20:50] <fluvvell> and as I've said, I don't consider myself the all-knowing guru, but I've set up my share of samba servers and none have dnsproxy installed.
[20:50] <tdowning> @GaryD I know very little about Linux itself, but throw me a Q about general computer issues... I've been breaking and fixing them since middle school, in early 90's
[20:50] <afancy_> sam-_-: i see. As hadoop is using jetty 6.1.14, now when i only run jetty 6.1.14, it doesnt work either, but jetty 7x can run properly.
[20:50] <GaryD> tdowning: lol
[20:51] <ra2011> I have a usb webcam and need to know its mounted device. how can I do to know it??
[20:51] <afancy_> sam-_-: i think some settings of Ubuntu leads to this.
[20:51] <Qoel> xf86-video-savage: switching from console to Xorg makes it crash, need help
[20:51] <tdowning> see that's the thing, you really learn far more about computers when they're broken than when they're working... (at least in my experience.
[20:52] <ra2011> the lsusb shows: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:4043 Creative Technology, Ltd

[20:53] <afancy_> sam-_-: this is /etc/hosts, could you see if there is any problem? thanks http://dpaste.com/304259/
[20:53] <Danny78> fluvvell:  Is it possible and ok to mount windows shares onto /home/<username>/Documents or ...../Music?
[20:53] <inknoir> i would like to play a song/a playlist in moc and then shutdown. mocp blabla && shutdown doesn't work because of mocp's server-client nature. any hints?
[20:54] <bencahill> afancy_: mother (space) puppet?
[20:54] <djindy> Is there a more definite way to check what version of Ubuntu I am using? About tells me I am using Natty, but I don't recall ever upgrading to that, and my repos are all for Maverick.
[20:54] <fluvvell> Danny78, sure I do it all the time
[20:54] <ra2011> I'm trying to setup it on amsn... but amsn can't link it
[20:54] <justask> ra2011: so it's a creative what? which issue do you have
[20:55] <afancy_> bencahill: yes,
[20:55] <fluvvell> Danny78, are they shared from another machine on your network? or is it a vm ?
[20:55] <Danny78> fluvvell:  wait, I want to actually back up that data to the linux server anyway cause my Windows restore experiences are mixed.
[20:55] <eviljames> justask: the current lvm is 2x80GB drives in raid0 for root
[20:55] <nisstyre> djindy, have you tried uname -o ?
[20:55] <trism> djindy: lsb_release -a;
[20:55] <ra2011> justask: Its a usb webcam Creative vibraplus...
[20:55] <eviljames> justask: I'll be doing a second 2x500GB raid0 for /home , and using rsync/rdiff to store to a 2nd drive
[20:55] <Danny78> fluvvell:  shared from another machine (win 7) to this (Ubuntu 10.04)
[20:55] <sam-_-> afancy_, looks fine assuming the ip addresses are correct
[20:56] <ra2011> justask: so, I need to use it with amsn
[20:56] <bencahill> eviljames: why raid0?
[20:56] <eviljames> bencahill: Want to squeeze as much data in/out as possible.  audio recording, multi track
[20:56] <fluvvell> Danny78, if you are working from the desktop, just go Places->Network and search for the share.
[20:56] <Stetson> if anyone (like me) comes in here and asks how to disable the touchpad (especially on an asus netbook) the command is sudo modprobe -r psmouse
[20:56] <ra2011> justask: but amsn can't recognize it...
[20:56] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I think i'll just mount them inside /media/...   and then copy/rsync those folders with my local music, docs, etc.
[20:56] <djindy> ok, lsb_release tells me I have Maverick
[20:56] <BusMaster> How does an ubuntu LTS release (I'm thinking 10.04) compare to debian stable with respect to stability? I use ubuntu myself, but need a rock stable distribution for a upcoming project and am wondering if switching to debian will be more stable. I don't wish to be a troll, but I sincerely want to know about this.
[20:56] <Tmaxx> hey guys, I trying to install the latest version of Ubunto on a dell latitude D810 All went well with the exception of my WiFi it does not reconize the built in wifi can one help me out?  thx
[20:56] <justask> ok eviljames
[20:56] <bencahill> sam-_-, afancy_: are spaces (%20 in url encoding) allowed in dns/hosts?
[20:56] <luisxp> !list
[20:56] <Danny78> fluvvell:  yeah, I can do that but I want to set it up permanently
[20:57] <fluvvell> Danny78, that should work. make sure you have permissions
[20:57] <justask> the 2x500 raid will be blazing fast
[20:57] <justask> which hdd will you take?
[20:57] <bencahill> eviljames: ah yes :)
[20:57] <fluvvell> Danny78, the biggest issues for shares to and from windows is permissions, permissions, permissions
[20:57] <eviljames> justask: I have the 2 500s already, only 1 is installed in this machine as /home atm.  Buying a bigger case to accommodate more drives :D
[20:57] <justask> i have a Wd RE3 and i am thinking of raiding another one
[20:57] <FaiLican> Tmaxx: I have an Dell latitude d630 and my wifi card is called eth0 even tho it should be w0 or what its called
[20:57] <justask> a thermaltake one? xd
[20:57] <FaiLican> Tmaxx: I dont know why
[20:58] <Sean93> how can i add a new keyboard layout that is the same as my current one but with 2 keys moved. i need to be able to which between them
[20:58] <justask> which models of hdd are they
[20:58] <Danny78> fluvvell: and that means having access to a user account with the right permissions, right?
[20:58] <sam-_-> bencahill, no. i guess not
[20:58] <ra2011> justask: so, I guess if I knew its device name and can setup it on amsn.
[20:58] <bencahill> FaiLican: how do you know it's called eth0?
[20:58] <eviljames> justask: A coolermaster I think.  I'm pretty cheap :P
[20:58] <justask> so i guess either
[20:58] <eviljames> justask: Oh, the drives are both WD
[20:58] <FaiLican> bencahill: i cant use aircrack because its says my only connection is eth0
[20:58] <fluvvell> Danny78, and don't have home networking set up in windows 7. Make sure you are set up as a work network
[20:59] <bencahill> sam-_-: okay, because 192.168.1.3 (line 10) has a space in it
[20:59] <justask> i figured they were not so cheap - like PSU
[20:59] <justask> nice Wd
[20:59] <justask> never gave me a trouble
[20:59] <eviljames> But, this is all a moot point unless my initramfs works better!
[20:59] <djindy> Anyone know what to do about the default ppas failing to fetch? (failed to fetch from launchpad.net/dists/http/ppa/ubuntu...)
[20:59] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I'll have to change it to a work network then
[20:59] <justask> so seagate as well though
[20:59] <bencahill> FaiLican: that means you don't have drivers/firmware for your wlan card, not that it's detected/labeled wrong
[20:59] <BusMaster> Sean93, perhaps its simplest to use xmoadmap then?
[20:59] <afancy_> sam-_-: when i type "sysctl net.ipv6.bindv6only", there is no output http://dpaste.com/304276/
[20:59] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I'm going to my win comp to change networking
[20:59] <fluvvell> Danny78, YES - and that may be your  problem
[20:59] <Danny78> brb
[21:00] <Nanoha> does anybody know the cli for this:  I want to zip up an entire directory into a backup.  thanks!
[21:00] <Sean93> BusMaster,  and what if i didn't have to switch between them?
[21:00] <fluvvell> Danny78, you'll have to excuse me for a while, I have a visitor.
[21:00] <FaiLican> bencahill: on the aircrack forum they said that my wifi card isnt good its buggy with their software ect
[21:00] <DaGeek247> Hey Danny78!
[21:00] <Jemt> Hi. I have a FAT32 partition which is mounted at /media/data. I changed the label of the partition using 'mlabel -i /dev/sda1 ::Data'. Now I get the following error during boot: Short name DATA\000\000\000\000,\\000\000 may have changed without updating the long name. What do I do ?
[21:00] <BusMaster> Sean93, xmodmap allows you to remap keys. It is up to you whether you want to switch or not
[21:00] <FaiLican> bencahill: but how do I change the firmware ?
[21:00] <bencahill> FaiLican: what's the card?
[21:01] <Tmaxx> bencahill : how do I upgrade the firmware on my built in wifi card
[21:01] <bencahill> Tmaxx: does it work currently?
[21:01] <Gloch> need to flash it somehowwhich will be tricky
[21:02] <sam-_-> afancy_, probably not available like it says. sysctl -a |grep -i bind
[21:02] <Tmaxx> yes in windows  not on linux
[21:02] <bosky101> hi, i've connected my phone to ubuntu. how do i know what the device is ?
[21:02] <Tmaxx> bencahill: yes in windows not on linux
[21:03] <afancy_> sam-_-: http://dpaste.com/304288/
[21:03] <BusMaster> bosky101, tail /var/log/messages should tell you
[21:03] <Larriv> hi is there a possible way to sync my iphone app in ubuntu
[21:03] <OldFarter> WTF is up with 10.10?
[21:03] <erUSUL> !iphone
[21:03] <justask> bosky101: it likely will be a mass storage one
[21:03] <FaiLican> bencahill: sry, defeting a boss on wow, just a sec ;O
[21:03] <Gloch> manufacturersusually have inhouse bios upgrades or backdated versions on their sites
[21:03] <Gloch> check out makers site
[21:04] <DaGeek247> OldFarter: i asked the same thing. :P
[21:04] <sam-_-> afancy_, y. not a sysctl. with your kernel
[21:04] <OldFarter> I mean.... sorting worked fine... so why fk it up
[21:04] <OldFarter> ?
[21:04] <dwxreaper> how do I check if my ethernet interface can do gigabit?
[21:04] <Guest31187> ok thnk
[21:04] <FaiLican> bencahill: These package contains Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driverfor use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, andBCM4322-based hardware.
[21:04] <OldFarter> And whats up with cups
[21:04]  * DaGeek247 
[21:04] <galerien_> Jemt : not an expert but you can try to do "gksu gparted" and set it with the graphic interface, which can't normally fail
[21:04] <justask> dwxreaper: ifconfig maybe
[21:05] <OldFarter> is there an easy way to revert back to 10.4?
[21:05] <guntbert> Nanoha: tar czf<archive-name> directory
[21:05] <dwxreaper> justask: ethtool -i does not show me
[21:05] <justask> and ifconfig
[21:05] <DaGeek247> OldFarter: i couldn't get it to boot, so i stayed with 10.04
[21:05] <dwxreaper> what switch do I use?
[21:05] <justask> wait
[21:05] <sam-_-> afancy_, like i said it's not a ipv6 related problem
[21:06] <OldFarter> I mean seriously.... WHAT HAPPEN?
[21:06] <afancy_> sam-_-: ok, so?
[21:06] <OldFarter> Someone drinking while packaging?
[21:06] <justask> launch it without options for now
[21:06] <justask> should come up you eth0
[21:06] <dwxreaper> justask: it does not say ethernet options
[21:06] <brMP> what's the best distro to run on a low end netbook? i was thinking of using the netbook edition of ubuntu or arch.
[21:06] <justask> oh
[21:06] <sam-_-> afancy_, i don't know :-(
[21:06] <afancy_> sam-_-: do you know anything else that i can check
[21:07] <bencahill> Tmaxx: okay, what's the card?
[21:07] <afancy_> sam-_-: so bad
[21:07] <afancy_> sam-_-: i try to find for a whole day, but still cannot find what the problem is
[21:07] <DaGeek247> OldFarter: they must have taken into account the fact that they would have to deal with complaints for only six months. the 04s are always better.
[21:07] <justask> if you do a lspci do you find anything suitable?
[21:07] <Tmaxx> bencahill:  hang on i'll get the info
[21:07] <amgarchIn9> hi, is there a tool to detect/remove duplicate files based on their content, not names?
[21:07] <bencahill> FaiLican: what?
[21:08] <BusMaster> brMP, the distro mostly doesn't matter. Just pick a lightweight window manager like icewm or xfce
[21:08] <brMP> BusMaser: Thanks.
[21:08] <coulibaly> tyh
[21:08] <dwxreaper> justask: looks like the info is in dmesg
[21:08] <justask> ok even there
[21:08] <sam-_-> afancy_, i'm just looking at this again: http://dpaste.com/304238/    why don't you wget 127.0.0.1:50070?
[21:09] <FaiLican> bencahill: its a broadcom card in the computer
[21:09] <DaGeek247> OldFarter: the perfect ten it was not.
[21:09] <bencahill> FaiLican: which one? bcmxxxx?
[21:09] <bosky101> does gsm modem  = most modern phones ( im trying to connect my phone to kannel to send sms's )
[21:10] <sam-_-> afancy_, furthermore are you sure it will give you a valid http response on port 50070
[21:10] <pr3zident> hello smart people....i installed kubuntu on my netbook and then uninstalled but the boot screen stayed is their a way i can change that back to my ubuntu screen ?
[21:11] <FaiLican> bencahill: cant find the name of it, its a dell latitude d630 tho
[21:11] <pr3zident> i looked on the net and seen a couple of answers, but none of them worked for me
[21:11] <bencahill> FaiLican: lspci
[21:11] <sam-_-> pr3zident, how did you uninstall kubuntu?
[21:12] <pr3zident> hmm it was a while ago but im pretty sure i used apt-get remove...
[21:12] <pr3zident> i heard it would of been better to do aptitude
[21:12] <sam-_-> pr3zident, doesn't matter
[21:12] <pr3zident> but it was too late then
[21:12] <pr3zident> oo ok
[21:12] <flyingpenguinpie> what is the allocation granularity in Ubuntu?
[21:12] <justask> dwxreaper: found something?
[21:12] <BusMaster> pr3zident, http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/04/how-to-select-the-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/
[21:13] <sam-_-> pr3zident, i'm not sure what you man by boot screen?
[21:13] <FaiLican> bencahill: ah thanks its a: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g
[21:13] <justask> 4kb maybe
[21:13] <afancy_> sam-_-: it also doesn't now work by wget 127.0.0.1:50070, yes, i sure it is. As it works in Fedora.
[21:13] <pr3zident> thanks BusMaster checking it out now
[21:13] <pr3zident> when the computer start up it says ubuntu with the dots
[21:13] <bencahill> FaiLican: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20STA%20drivers
[21:13] <Nanoha> guntbert: is that tar czf mybackup.tar.gz /website  or tar -czf mybackup.tar.gz /website?
[21:13] <bencahill> FaiLican: :)
[21:14] <justask> anyone italian here?
[21:14] <flyingpenguinpie> justask: hrm.. you sure?
[21:14] <Danny78> fluvvell or anyone knowing samba--  I switched from home to work network but can't see Ubuntu
[21:14] <FaiLican> bencahill: awesome! thanks
[21:14] <justask> almost
[21:14] <Tmaxx> bencahill: The wifi card is from Broadcom Dell wireless 1470 Dual Band wlan Mini-PCI Card  Is this what you needed?  Thx.
[21:14] <justask> i try to check it
[21:14] <bencahill> FaiLican: it's a good page to bookmark :)
[21:14] <KM0201> FaiLican: i would suggest the b43 driver for that card,... had a lot of problems w/ it and the STA driver...
[21:14] <snowrichard> join #android #android-dev
[21:14] <sam-_-> !it > justask
[21:14] <guntbert> Nanoha: my version is without -
[21:14] <Nanoha> ok.  thanks!
[21:15] <FaiLican> bencahill: yeah i will do that!
[21:15] <snowrichard> sorry for the mistyped join
[21:15] <sam-_-> afancy_, i don't know then
[21:15] <afancy_> sam-_-: as now the jetty6.1.14 webserver which is used by Hadoop cannot start up properly.
[21:15] <Haraken> quick question for you guys, I've been noticing on on some ubuntu 10.04 raid1 installs it doesn't want to boot into the O/S after the install.  All of my installs are on brand new hardware with brand new hard drives.  Once install with 2x 1tb drives went just fine, the other with 2x 500gb drives an me some random error about not being able to boot by uuid.  My solution for this in the past would be to just install 9.10 then upgrade but I'm wondering i
[21:15] <Haraken> f there is a simple fix for this?
[21:15] <justask> thanks both of you
[21:15] <FaiLican> KM0201: ye, i've had alot of problems too !
[21:15] <bencahill> Tmaxx: what does lshw -C network say?
[21:15] <crawler> hi.  was there an update recently that broke or somehow corrupted Wi-fi? i'm having all sorts of strange issues the past couple of days.
[21:16] <KM0201> FaiLican: w/ the b43 driver?
[21:16] <Slyboots> Mm.. Not sure hwo to expalin my Issue; But I'll try
[21:16] <franz_> hi, I was messing with ip tables, and accidentally added another default interface, and now my machine doesn't respond in the the network. the command I used was ip route add default via 74.124.30.216, before that, ip route ip route show table main showed just one line with 'default', and now it shows two, how do I remove the second entry?
[21:16] <sam-_-> afancy_, can't bind the port anymore?
[21:16] <franz_> I got that information through the support staff using the machine via a kvm switch
[21:16] <justask> crawler: maybe the network-manager?
[21:16] <sam-_-> afancy_, maybe there are other instances still running.
[21:16] <afancy_> sam-_-: but it is quite wired, jetty 7.x can work properly. I ask #jetty, they said jetty7x support Ipv6, but jetty 6.1.14 doesnot.
[21:16] <cbird> franz_: ip route delete net <destination address
[21:16] <pr3zident> thanx BusMaster that worked fine for me
[21:16] <Slyboots> running Calibre through a VNC window (vnc4server) but it doesnt seem to render right; buttons and drop-down boxes render as solid black blocks (Can still interface with teh program OK; but the UI is all screwed up)
[21:16] <Slyboots> Anyone know what might cause that
[21:16] <BusMaster> pr3zident, you're welcome
[21:16] <FaiLican> KM0201: the system didnt find the wifi card as a wifi just as eth0
[21:17] <justask> Slyboots: so other programs are just fine?
[21:17] <KM0201> FaiLican: i'm aware of that.. look ont hat link he gave you, and there's instructions to use the b43 driver
[21:17] <afancy_> sam-_-: that is why i doubt it was lead by Ipv6
[21:17] <Slyboots> justask: Ehh.. its a little hit and miss.. but for the most part sure
[21:17] <sam-_-> afancy_, y. but u use jetty 7 via ipv4 as well
[21:17] <FaiLican> KM0201: Yeh im checking in to that now
[21:17] <justask> could be a window manager issue
[21:18] <Slyboots> Using xfce
[21:18] <justask> just to tell the first thing
[21:18] <crawler> justask: possibly..i've been running karmic since it's release and haven't had any problems with wi-fi, but ever since yesterday or so connecting is intermittent, and the hardware button (( i )) and light on my laptop is acting up
[21:18] <justask> intermittent wi-fi is - sadly - a much common issue for linux
[21:18] <afancy_> sam-_-: but jetty 7 works, while jetty 6.1.14 doesnt. That is why i am perplexing
[21:19] <justask> experimented by myself with my previous router
[21:19] <Nightshade> @justask yes sadly it is
[21:19] <justask> that was simply fine in windows
[21:19] <sam-_-> afancy_, dumb question why don't u use jetty 7 then?
[21:19] <Slyboots> Aye; other programs are fine.. its just this one
[21:19] <Lantchips> anyone here have a brother MFC-7320 ? I have problems finding drivers
[21:19] <pwnguin> ive kinda screwed up an install of ubuntu 10.10 to my mac pro. will reformatting  and installing fix this?
[21:19] <dc> hello all
[21:19] <deepestthought42> justask: hi! If you or anyone else is still interested in the xkb problem, I solved it. Turns out I had selected US with Eurosign as layout upon installation, but was trying to switch between german and normal us layout. As the euro sign won't work in my setup anyway, I just switched to plain us layout and everything was back to how I want it.
[21:20] <afancy_> sam-_-: well, has jetty 6.1.14 comes with Hadoop, of course, i am not allow to change it.
[21:20] <Jemt> Can I update a "field" in /etc/fstab using a console tool? I need to change the <pass> argument for an entry in fstab, so my FAT32 partition is not being checked on every boot. I need to do this on many installations, so I would like to be able to do it using a command rather than opening the file and modify it
[21:20] <ra2011> does anybody knows how to identify a device from the lsusb command output?
[21:20] <Jemt> [10:20p]
[21:20] <Jemt> jelly-home
[21:20] <Jemt> :
[21:20] <Jemt> BusMaster: 2.6.32 is available at /msg dpkg bdo
[21:20] <FloodBot4> Jemt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:20] <Jemt> :-S
[21:20] <Jemt> Sorry about that
[21:20] <KM0201> ..
[21:20] <justask> deepestthought42: nice you got onto that...finally
[21:20] <dc> i would like to know if ubuntu blocks by default port 6667, i am trying all other ports and it says connection refused which is fine, but on port 6667 it says connection time out
[21:20] <Lantchips>  anyone here have a brother MFC-7320 printer? I have problems finding drivers anyone got a idea ?
[21:21] <justask> maybe i already asked, but why do you do from console?
[21:21] <Nightshade> part
[21:21] <justask> other than gui i mean
[21:21] <ra2011> "for identify a device" I mean know its device name
[21:21] <justask> ra2011: it's written there
[21:21] <crawler> dc port 6667 isn't that for IRC?
[21:22] <sam-_-> afancy_, i just installed jetty. it works for me
[21:22] <ra2011> justask:  Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:4043 Creative Technology, Ltd, where?
[21:22] <dc> crawler: yes but the ip is block only port 6667 there is no rules blocking that port, i am wonderinf if ubuntu blocks that by default
[21:22] <justask> is that the webcam?
[21:22] <ra2011> yep
[21:22] <deepestthought42> justask: no, not from console, I run a user defined session and use the stumpwm window manager. It's slim and I can totally control by keyboard; but I had to put in some work which is not required when using one of the standard desktops
[21:22] <sam-_-> afancy_, could you pastebin.com the /etc/default/jetty
[21:22] <eviljames> In looking through stuff about initramfs, I find that there's specific requirements for /etc/initramfs-tools/modules when dealing with lvm/raid
[21:23] <Lantchips>  anyone here have a brother MFC-7320 printer? I have problems finding drivers anyone got a idea ?
[21:23] <justask> ok, complex thing so
[21:23] <Slyboots> Its not a big deal; but its pretty bloody annoying
[21:23] <eviljames> Can anybody tell me if this should all be automatic at this point, or do I need to make modifications in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules to get lvm/raid (particularly raid0 root) to work?
[21:23] <justask> Lantchips: is a multifuncion one?
[21:23] <Lantchips> justask yea printer, fax, scanner
[21:23] <deepestthought42> justask anyhow, thanks for the verbosity tip, after the phonecall it took me only a few minutes to fix it
[21:24] <justask> does it print almost? or didnt find any driver?
[21:24] <sam-_-> afancy_, you did install jetty via the apt-get right?
[21:24] <Lantchips> justask doesn't find any driver :/ Or atleast not by itself
[21:24] <ra2011> justask: I tried gstreamer-properties but it cant recognize it...
[21:24] <justask> how?
[21:24] <justask> and if you force a driver? installing it i mean
[21:24] <t-rask> How can I make something skip the taskbar (actually, AWN, in this case) using Ubuntu/Compiz? I tried the "Windows Rules" in CCSM to no avail.
[21:25] <Lantchips> justask I cant find the 7320 in ubuntus list only 7220,7225
[21:25] <afancy_> sam-_-: no, i download the package, and unzip it, then run it
[21:25] <justask> if they are multifunctions too give a try...doesnt cost anything to remove it later
[21:25] <sam-_-> afancy_, can i ask why you didn't use the official ubuntu package?
[21:26] <dc> crawler: yes but the ip is block only port 6667 there is no rules blocking that port, i am wonderinf if ubuntu blocks that by default
[21:26] <coordinador> HI
[21:26] <dc> sorry mistake repeating
[21:26] <Lantchips> justask okok :) Thank you
[21:26] <justask> hi coordinador
[21:26] <pwnguin> dc: it could be your ISP or router
[21:26] <afancy_> sam-_-: well, this cluster servers were not administrated by me
[21:26] <coordinador> i have a problem with sound, i have and usb soundcard
[21:26] <pwnguin> since that's a common "command and control" port for bots
[21:26] <justask> Lantchips: i would do that if i were you xd
[21:26] <coordinador> *an
[21:26] <sam-_-> afancy_, ah ok
[21:27] <Lantchips> justask I will :) haha thank you :)
[21:27] <justask> k
[21:27] <dc> pwnguin: there is no other ports blocked at all
[21:27] <justask> you r welcome btw
[21:27] <blixten> do i need to install any packet to get 32bin to work on a ppc64 with ubuntu 64?
[21:27] <justask> lantchips or keep searching on the net/forums
[21:27] <coordinador> justask, i have an usb sound card, its a little green one, the problem is that sometimes works, sometimes not, now is not working, my OS is ubuntu 10.04
[21:27] <pwnguin> dc: and how are you measuring this?
[21:27] <Lantchips> justask I searched the web :) But I didn't have much luck so I tried here also :)
[21:28] <justask> how do you make working again? only rebooting?
[21:28] <freeride> guy, advice please a good swf player fro ubuntu with controls
[21:28] <coordinador> justask, when i do lsusb, i get:  Bus 004 Device 002: ID 1130:f211 Tenx Technology, Inc. audio headset
[21:28] <dc> pwnguin: because i do this /server -m 122.166.100.229 6669 and it says connection refused, only port 6667 says connection timeout
[21:28] <wrd> blixten: at least on amd64 you need all dependencies as 32bit libs. probably the same on ppc64
[21:28] <pwnguin> dc: is that a server you control?
[21:28] <launch> jc pas man c komme tu veux
[21:28] <pwnguin> 122.166?
[21:29] <blixten> wrd: what packages is that?
[21:29] <justask> coordinador: ok
[21:29] <dc> that's the server that i am trying to run my ircd on
[21:29] <pwnguin> dc: does your host allow ircd
[21:29] <pwnguin> many ISPs do not allow IRC
[21:29] <K4k> So, I won't be surprised if I get rejected with this but does anyone have a well updated repo for gnome-shell?
[21:29] <pwnguin> read your ToS
[21:30] <dc> pwnguin: yes but , i want to find out what's blocking port 6667 , is it ubuntu or something ellse, it looks like ubuntu
[21:30] <freeride> guys, advice please a good swf player fro ubuntu with controls
[21:30] <eviljames> Hello, /lastlog eviljames
[21:30] <eviljames> err
[21:30] <pwnguin> dc: you double checked the ircd config and it's listening on port 6667?
[21:31] <K4k> dc: what does 'iptables --list' show?
[21:31] <dc> pwnguin: before i do that, i have to check what's blocking port 6667 , because once an ip says conenction timeout that means the port is blocked, the rest of the ports are oen
[21:32] <coordinador> justask,  what can i do?
[21:32] <coordinador> i have an usb sound card, its a little green one, the problem is that sometimes works, sometimes not, now is not working, my OS is ubuntu 10.04
[21:32] <dc> it says i need to be root
[21:32] <coordinador>  when i do lsusb, i get:  Bus 004 Device 002: ID 1130:f211 Tenx Technology, Inc. audio headset
[21:32] <pwnguin> dc: connection refused also means the port is blocked...
[21:32] <dc> K4k: it says i need to be root
[21:32] <K4k> dc: then 'sudo iptables --list'
[21:32] <justask> what do you have to do to fix? reboot? detaching usb cable?
[21:33] <j0nr> evening. I am setting up a fresh install of 8,04 server and when I run 'newaliases' I get a fatal error about postalias: fatal: open /etc/aliases.db: Permission denied
[21:33] <justask> Lantchips: http://forums.openprinting.org/list.php?24
[21:33] <dc> K4k: ok is showing me things, one second please, let me see if it will say anything about port 6667
[21:33] <justask> brother printers forum
[21:34] <j0nr> /etc/aliases.db did not exist, so i created it (touch /etc/aliases.db) and now get th error: postalias: fatal: cannot remove zero-length database file /etc/aliases.db: Permission denied
[21:34] <no_dvi_output> hello again
[21:34] <ZnaxQue> wb
[21:34] <Sephnroth> i setup an  little ubuntu server for local web dev testing and also svn use.  i wanted my friend to have access and also be able to ssh in. i created a (working) dyndns domain and pointed it at my ip.  on router i forwarded port 80 for http and 22 for ssh. ssh wont connect at all
[21:35] <Sephnroth> and going there in a browser displays text from the index page but an image on it refuses to load completely -works fine over lan. is it possiable unbuntus firewall is interfearing?
[21:35] <K4k> dc: that's ubuntu's firewall, if you see anything under the "chain INPUT" section about reject or drop 6667 yoiu found your problem
[21:35] <Lantchips> justask thank you for the page :) I will use it for future :) Only had one other with the same problem and no one answered :) but thank you :)
[21:36] <pwnguin> im still guessing ircd is configured wrong / not started
[21:36] <no_dvi_output> Sephnroth, what happens when you ssh to your machine on localhost? do you get the login prompt?
[21:36] <dc> !pastebin
[21:36] <justask> i only did a quick search Lantchips, maybe trying more you can find a working solution
[21:36] <Sephnroth> better than that i can ssh from a remote machine thats on the same lan as the server using its lan ip and i can login fine
[21:36] <testo> samba and ldap printer share is driving me crazy. why is this so extremely complicated to set up?
[21:37] <Sephnroth> using the internet ip for the router = dead
[21:37] <Lantchips> justask I searched :) But I think you for your help :)
[21:37] <testo> i get the users from ldap with id USERNAME but i cant log into shares
[21:37] <testo> neither can i print
[21:37] <justask> k thank you too
[21:37] <no_dvi_output> ok, clear, then it must be some firewall as indicated earlier
[21:37] <dc> K4k: can you have a look please at http://paste.ubuntu.com/552600/
[21:37] <justask> no_dvi_output: it is the most likely cause in general
[21:37] <Sephnroth> i have forwarded what i think is relevent and i have even tried setting the servers lan ip as a DMZ host, still ssh wont get through :/
[21:38] <Sephnroth> so i was wondering if its common that something, maybe locally on the ubuntu machine, stops a return signal going out
[21:38] <no_dvi_output> that's very well possible justask, yes.
[21:38] <dc> pwnguin: before i start installing ircd, i need to make sure that the port is open
[21:38] <K4k> dc: is AS0 your primary network interface?
[21:38] <justask> and often it's also hard to find out how it does it
[21:38] <dc> what is that man?
[21:39] <testo> ok why do the users show up with id USER but not with getent passwd
[21:39] <pwnguin> dc: and the only way to verify that is to actually have a program listen on the port and test it
[21:39] <no_dvi_output> possibly stopping the local firewall temporarily in order to understand if the connection is then working, would be best I guess?
[21:39] <pwnguin> you could run a tiny webserver like wbox on port 6667, but i think most browsers specifically hate that port
[21:40] <pwnguin> telnet shouldn't though
[21:40] <justask> yes it's a good try
[21:40] <dc> pwnguin: i mite do that in a minute to see if it will work
[21:40] <K4k> dc: I could be wrong, I'm no iptables expert but I don't see anything in there that would cause a problem
[21:40] <matlock> how do i make vinagre run at boot time
[21:40] <matlock> so i can remote into ubuntu
[21:40] <matlock> without having to locally login
[21:40] <matlock> this is starting to become retarded
[21:40] <no_dvi_output> Sephnroth, not sure what firewall runs on your machine but can you temporarliy disable it?
[21:40] <no_dvi_output> e.g. sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop
[21:41] <dc> K4k: yeh, nothing there blocking port 6667, its the only port that's blocked
[21:41] <matlock> cause it seems that not even the online how to's have the process right
[21:41] <Sephnroth> it says iptables command not foundm which is odd.  thats the default ubuntu firewall and i havnt installed any other ones
[21:41] <justask> matlock: on starting application preferences maybe?
[21:42] <justask> system->preferences
[21:42] <K4k> dc: try anything like this? http://www.canyouseeme.org/
[21:42] <no_dvi_output> Sephnroth, did you execute the command as /etc/init.d/iptables stop ?
[21:42] <Sephnroth> yes
[21:42] <matlock> I followed this howto
[21:42] <matlock> http://theseekersquill.wordpress.com/tag/vncserver/
[21:42] <no_dvi_output> hmm,
[21:43] <matlock> and following "How to configure the VNC server to run at bootup on the Ubuntu PC." did NOT work
[21:43] <dc> K4k: i will try, thanks
[21:43] <justask> something related in dmesg?
[21:43] <BiFeO3_work> Does anyone know if Handbrake is included with Ubuntu?
[21:43] <no_dvi_output> Sephnroth, did you setup the port forwarding on your router?
[21:43] <WhatToDo> hi so im still having trouble installing 10.10 with freezes if anyone was here yesterday
[21:43] <CYR4N0> i have a triple monitor setup with a left to right setup of a 1280x1024, 1440x900, and another 1280x1024 monitor setup using xinerama as it is using two nvidia cards i want my games mostly running with wine to start on the 1440x900 display i've tried the --geometry peramiter but this doesn't seem to work with wine and compiz is out of the question as i am using xinerama
[21:43] <Sephnroth> yes
[21:44] <no_dvi_output> from the outside interface (with a public IP-address) to the port of your machine with its IP-addres?
[21:44] <justask> WhatToDo: try with safe boot options, or vesa
[21:44] <no_dvi_output> hmm, ok
[21:44] <matlock> justask>  i'm not looking for "at login," i'm looking for "at boot time"
[21:44] <WhatToDo> justask: im not sure what you mean
[21:44] <justask> matlock so maybe in rc.d or nearly
[21:44] <no_dvi_output> Sephnroth, what about trying to connect via an IP-address instead of DNS resolved host?
[21:45] <matlock> does ANYONE know how to setup a vncserver so it runs at boot time?
[21:45] <justask> WhatToDo: at boot you can select safe mode, or to pass some parameters
[21:45] <no_dvi_output> possibly dyndns could be messy or out of sync?
[21:45] <Sephnroth> the official router firewall entry reads wan -> ip * -> protocal any -> destination lan <server ip> port 22 ALLOW
[21:45] <justask> like the one to force on vesa
[21:45] <WhatToDo> justask: i cant boot anything from the hard drive, but im trying to install from a live cd
[21:45] <sam-_-> matlock, enable autologin and put it in startup applications
[21:45] <Sephnroth> i thought that but i can connect to the webserver using the dyndns address
[21:45] <justask> yes, it's the same for live cds
[21:46] <matlock> sam-_->  that presents a security risk
[21:46] <Sephnroth> although its loading a 100k image at the slowest rate i have ever seen
[21:46] <justask> boot options or F1..F12
[21:46] <matlock> i have multiple users that use this pc
[21:46] <matlock> so no
[21:46] <no_dvi_output> Sephnroth, oops you are right, yes
[21:46] <matlock> i don't want to have to login to use remote
[21:46] <matlock> it should just work
[21:46] <trinity> italiano
[21:46] <no_dvi_output> I have to run, good night everyone
[21:46] <trinity> ubuntu italiano
[21:46] <matlock> !it
[21:46] <justask> if you put somewhere in rc.d (not sure if right place though) its supposed to boot that
[21:47] <sam-_-> matlock, u could also let it lock at login. but it's risky as well.
[21:47] <Sephnroth> thanks for your assist no dvi
[21:47] <justask> bye no_dvi
[21:47] <matlock> sam-_->  i'm not asking for "how do i have ubuntu login so i can remote"
[21:47] <Danny78> What's the command to stop samba?  The version I have doesn't work.
[21:47] <sam-_-> matlock, i know
[21:47] <matlock> i'm asking "how do i setup vncserver to start at boot time so i DONT' HAVE TO LOGIN TO REMOTE"
[21:48] <matlock> i've been asking THIS question for 3 weeks now
[21:48] <Sephnroth> Danny78: sudo service smbd stop
[21:48] <justask> matlock just keep some patience, not everyone has the same problems
[21:48] <matlock> and NOONE knows how to answer it
[21:48] <sniperjo_> ive just installed some intel graphics drivers, now when i boot up i get not supported on the screen, if I control-alt 1this goes away and the screen goes black, if I control al-7 it goes back blue. is there a way i can boot back properly?
[21:48] <Danny78> Sephnroth:  thank you
[21:48] <justask> so maybe give a try to forums, wont you?
[21:48] <sam-_-> now i'm confused
[21:48] <matlock> tried forums
[21:48] <matlock> again
[21:49] <justask> sniperio try the vesa boot option - look for the exact command
[21:49] <justask> have you just updated?
[21:49] <d3cented> p
[21:49] <justask> !it
[21:51] <matlock> i still dont' get why this is such a hard request
[21:51] <sniperjo_> justask: i dont even get the grub menu
[21:51] <zaery> I need my cached passwords in firefox, to transfer them to another computer, where are they?
[21:51] <justask> mmm...it should come out with an error number, or grub rescue
[21:52] <Migaaresno> matlock, have you looked into using cron?
[21:52] <WhatToDo> For my issue, someone asked me to run "sudo parted -l" and here was the result if anyone can help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/552605/
[21:52] <Migaaresno> Its rather easy.
[21:52] <ra2011> justask: any more tips ?
[21:52] <justask> modify->preferences->security -zaery-
[21:53] <JoaoJoao> howdy
[21:53] <sniperjo_> justask: i dont think there is a problem there, as i can tty0 and login and shutdown, but without seeing any output
[21:53] <justask> ra2011: for? i lost your topic, give me little refresh
[21:53] <Migaaresno> Actually, you dont need to use cron. I see there is a gui too.
[21:53] <ryan_languagelab> how do i change the login screen background to a color in hex?
[21:53] <ryan_languagelab> instead of an image
[21:53] <justask> but you dont see grub...how is that possible?
[21:53] <trinity> italian
[21:53] <trinity> ubuntu
[21:53] <justask> trinity write !it
[21:54] <zaery> justask: There's a ton of them :/ is there a single file i can copy over?
[21:54] <trinity> join/  #ubuntu-it
[21:54] <trinity> italian
[21:54] <JoaoJoao> Anybody knows what could make powertop freeze my netbook?
[21:54] <Migaaresno> matlock, Start "gnome-session-properties" and at the vnc server to the list.
[21:54] <sniperjo_> justask: i dont know, some sort of display problem
[21:54] <justask> tons of pwds? lol
[21:55] <justask> i dont think there is a file - would be an easy hack
[21:55] <justask> cant you just copy the more important ones?

[21:55] <g[r]eek> Hi. I am using 3g (through a USB stick). How do I monitor my bandwidth usage?
[21:56] <sniperjo_> justask: could i do something with a liveusb?
[21:56] <justask> sniperio or terminal one...
[21:56] <Danny78> netbios name is just server name, not FQDN, right?
[21:56] <justask> i guess yes
[21:56] <justask> but never saw that before
[21:56] <justask> i mean the phantom grub thing
[21:57] <ryan_languagelab> how do i change the login screen background to a color in hex instead of an image?
[21:57] <fluvvell> Danny78, are you still there?
[21:57] <Sephnroth> hey, do i remember vaguely there is a bash command to send a message to all users currently logged into the machine?
[21:57] <WhatToDo> If anyone wants full details here's the line to my forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10340669
[21:57] <sniperjo_> justask: its strange, because if i have the liveusb it boots up fine,
[21:57] <Danny78> fluvvell:  yes, and made a little progress
[21:58] <Milossh> hello, is there a way to reload ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs without a reboot?
[21:58] <fluvvell> Danny78, sorry about that, I had to nip away.

[21:58] <Danny78> fluvvell:  no problem, I was on the phone for a bit anyway...  now I'm creating a smb.conf file from a tutorial
[21:58] <Danny78> fluvell:  correct
[21:59] <sniperjo_> justask: how would i update without being able to see anything, can i do it though a liveusb ?
[21:59] <fluvvell> Danny78, tutuorial - good move.

[21:59] <Milossh> Danny78: make sure you have folders shared
[21:59] <fluvvell> Danny78, getting it to appear is a good start, but I think you want to be able to see the windows box from the ubuntu machine - you want to copy from it ?
[21:59] <justask> sniperio...good question...dont know how btw
[22:00] <Danny78> someone here recommended that
[22:00] <fluvvell> Danny78, copy from the winbox

[22:01] <Danny78> fluvell Milossh--  It's just I can't see Ubuntu in Windows7 at all
[22:01] <ra2011> justask: thanks
[22:01] <fluvvell> Danny78, good work. Can you ping ubuntu from a command line in windows?
[22:02] <fluvvell> Danny78, try first by name, then by ip address.  Do you use a dsl router or something?
[22:02] <justask> g[r]eek: tons of that here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html
[22:03] <g[r]eek> justask, thanks

[22:03] <justask> i will send you the invoice...:-D
[22:04] <eviljames> Attempting to run ubuntu 10.10 from my lvm root, initramfs is apparently misbehaving.  Refuses to boot, drpos me at the busybox/initramfs prompt.  From that prompt I can modprobe dm_mod ; vgscan ; vgchange -ay, and then mount root, but I don't know why this isn't happening automatically by the initramfs.  Anyone know much about this initramfs / lvm / raid / ubuntu combination?
[22:04] <fluvvell> Danny78, can you pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf ?
[22:04] <skullboy> how do i unbind accels
[22:05] <justask> how do i fsck my main disk at next boot?
[22:05] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I can ping both the IP and the FQDN of Ubuntu from Win7
[22:05] <justask> it has some errors
[22:05] <skullboy> how do i unbind accels from the gtk+ menu
[22:06] <justask> eviljames: you are still here...so you didnt had much fortune sorting it out :-)
[22:06] <CYR4N0> i have a triple monitor setup with a left to right setup of a 1280x1024, 1440x900, and another 1280x1024 monitor setup using xinerama as it is using two nvidia cards i want my games mostly running with wine to start on the 1440x900 display i've tried the --geometry peramiter but this doesn't seem to work with wine and compiz is out of the question as i am using xinerama
[22:06] <eviljames> justask: hahah not much yet.  I came across a guide that said I need to make changes in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules - but it seemed to me that it was outdated and that this should be taken care of in a more automatic fashion.
[22:06] <justask> nice setup
[22:06] <skullboy> how do i unbind accels from the gtk+ menu
[22:07] <fluvvell> Danny78, bonus! So you're doing the right thing reading a tutorial, if you can share a folder from the ubuntu machine, then it should appear on the windows network browser.  Its a very specific thing, the windows network browser, its only looking for shares
[22:07] <justask> but what is initramfs called for? i dont see the connection there
[22:07] <fluvvell> Danny78, people mistakenly think if the machine doesn't show up, its not on the network! Of course without a share to show, the windows browser wont find it.
[22:08] <fluvvell> Danny78, thats a bit of a rough explanation, but its close.
[22:08] <skullboy> how do i unbind accels from the gtk+ menu
[22:08] <justask> maybe posting to ubuntuforums could help
[22:08] <justask> maybe posting to ubuntuforums could help - eviljames -
[22:09] <justask> i think that is far superior than the average knowledge here
[22:09] <Danny78> fluvvell:  yeah, that's right---  used to work telecom troubleshooting and the field installers were a superstitious bunch expecting miracles.  Of course, I was one of those too
[22:09] <justask> no offence intended
[22:10] <justask> Danny78: which country are you?
[22:10] <fluvvell> Danny78, so if you add a  few lines to the bottom of the smb.conf file with the [share name], path =   ,  guest ok = yes,

[22:12] <fluvvell> Danny78, is your ubuntu machine going to be on full time? or any pc on the network always on ?
[22:12] <Danny78> justask:  I used to work for Lucent before it became Alcatel-Lucent
[22:12] <rkpisanu> why if telnet from ubuntu to another server, copy and paste add unwanted spaces ?
[22:12] <justask> is it still a big player or not?
[22:12] <Danny78> fluvell:  Ubuntu will be on all the time, windows could be but I'd prefer no
[22:12] <justask> i work for t-systems italy
[22:14] <fluvvell> Danny78, I'm guessing that your winbox starts the PPPoE session at the moment?
[22:15] <Danny78> fluvvell:  that I don't know...  the router handles it instead of the DSL modem but beyond that *shrugs*
[22:15] <justask> is it supposed to be normal that a simple file copy - from linux to ntfs disk - goes only at 20 megs/sec?
[22:16] <justask> even different drives...its boring slow
[22:16] <eviljames> justask: initramfs is the inital early stage root filesystem that has the minimum amount of stuff needed to boot your system.
[22:16] <Danny78> justask:  I'd be very surprised if not--  anywhere Lucent goes Bell Labs goes.
[22:16] <justask> k clear
[22:16] <eviljames> justask: for example, modules needed early in the boot process (ie: ext2,ext4 filesystems..)
[22:16] <eviljames> justask: This isn't needed in all setups, but it is in mine. :D
[22:16] <justask> i see it in boot messages
[22:17] <fluvvell> Danny78, no prob. We use pretty much PPPoATM here in NZ, ADSL - but if you have a router, thats fine.
[22:17] <Danny78> fluvvell:  yea, my understanding is it's more secure,and at least more stable DSL connection
[22:17] <justask> eviljames: required because of lvm or raid?
[22:17] <Danny78> *knock on wood*
[22:18] <matlock> this is what i get on the machine i'm trying to connect to
[22:18] <matlock>  Starting vncserver for user 'mikah' on localhost:1...
[22:18] <matlock> but i can't see it
[22:18] <matlock> with my viewer
[22:18] <FloodBot4> matlock: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:18] <andrewax> hey guys
[22:18] <eviljames> justask: I don't know enoug habout ubuntu to give you the right answer... I expect for the raid at the very least, but probably for the lvm as well.
[22:18] <andrewax> have Ubuntu 10.10 that plymouth startup problem?
[22:19] <justask> k
[22:19] <justask> maybe i will search for that...:-)
[22:19] <craiggles> justask: hey there.
[22:19] <craiggles> so i've defragged my windows partion but still no luck.
[22:19] <fluvvell> Danny78, hows that smb.conf file coming along?
[22:19] <matlock> can anyone just tell me how i can make my vnc server (preferably the one that comes stock with ubuntu) start AT BOOT TIME so i don't have to physically login to the damn server when i want to remote into it?
[22:20] <justask> hey
[22:20] <justask> news?
[22:20] <justask> oh
[22:20] <Milossh> hello, is there a way to reload ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs without a reboot?
[22:20] <justask> same message?
[22:20] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I added the host name and double-checked the work group on win
[22:20] <justask> Danny78: and now you work for?
[22:20] <rumpe1> Milossh, logout, login (?)
[22:21] <andrewax> matlock you can put ashortcut for your vnc server at System - Preferences - Session Applications.
[22:21] <r3mish> what is the current release?
[22:21] <Milossh> rumpe1: that's going to f' up my uptime, I think
[22:21] <matlock> again
[22:21] <justask> no-one telling me something for slow file copy between linux and ntfs?
[22:21] <rumpe1> Milossh, no, it doesn't
[22:21] <craiggles> justask: http://oi53.tinypic.com/o77z7k.jpg
[22:21] <fluvvell> Danny78, wow thats an old tutorial!  If you had the template that came standard, you don't need to add your hostname
[22:21] <matlock> i don't want it to start AT LOGIN
[22:21] <Danny78> justask:  I had a mid-life crisis at 25 and now I'm a therapist working on my master's in computer science
[22:21] <rumpe1> Milossh, you effectively just restart your xserver
[22:21] <rkpisanu> why if telnet from ubuntu to another server, copy and paste add unwanted spaces ?
[22:22] <r3mish> WHAT IS THE CURRENT RELEASE
[22:22] <andrewax> matlick put it on /etc/init.d/rc.local
[22:22] <matlock> andrewax>    system > pref > session applications  <<<  do you see the word "session" ?
[22:22] <fluvvell> Danny78, but the bit you want is the piece with [MyFiles] at the beginning.  And the path needs to represent an actual path you want to share, not /media/samba
[22:22] <justask> that's strange craiggles
[22:22] <justask> wait a moment
[22:22] <Danny78> fluvvell:  really?  well, I'll hopefully run into some use for this knowledge
[22:22] <galerien_> r3mish, 10.10, maverick
[22:22] <matlock> andrewax>  that means /session/ only.. hence, ONCE YOU'VE LOGGED IN
[22:22] <r3mish> thanks
[22:22] <matlock> not AT BOOT TIME
[22:22] <justask> Danny78: an early one though - only at 25? XD
[22:22] <andrewax> matlock put it on /etc/init.d/rc.local
[22:23] <craiggles> justask: yes i know, i want to resize the partion but as it shows, i cannot change it from 7.....MB
[22:23] <galerien_> r3mish, np
[22:23] <justask> i see a red exclamation mark, why is there?
[22:23] <justask> can you hover on it?
[22:23] <andrewax> instructions putted on rc.local are executed at boot time
[22:23] <justask> i told him andrewax
[22:23] <fluvvell> Danny78, there is heaps of knowledge about samba on the net, but it can be so much to read its confusing
[22:24] <Danny78> fluvvell:  an actual path I want to share?  like /home/<user>/Documents?
[22:24] <fluvvell> Danny78, yes
[22:24] <andrewax> must see if this vnc server needs xorg
[22:24] <kernix> hey all
[22:24] <fluvvell> Danny78, I'm guessing your putting your own username in <user>
[22:24] <craiggles> justask: i had to unmount to select the resize
[22:24] <soadroxs> Hey, I just installed nautilus-elementary and my path bar disappeared, but if I press Ctrl-L, the address bar appears in the path bar space.
[22:24] <matlock> andrewax>  considering i just used /etc/init.d/vncserver   and that didn't work, i fail to see how putting a command (that fails to work mind you) into rc.local will work
[22:24] <goltoof> script load nickcolor.pl
[22:25] <mhahe> hey guys im on a mac 6,2 ... on the latest kernel build it doesnt work, so i have to boot up in the previous. i went to mac support's page on ubuntu site. nothing was mentioned... i get: kernel panic - not syncing:VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[22:25] <justask> craiggles so that mark means not mounted? makes sense btw
[22:25] <fluvvell> Danny78, you will need     read only = no   if you hope to be able to write from the winbox
[22:25] <justask> i would however try with something different from gparted
[22:25] <justask> if there is one obviously
[22:26] <craiggles> justask: just hovered..nothing appears, clicked on it and its got some warnings - that's what they are - not that it's not mounted.
[22:26] <Danny78> fluvvell:  yeah, username...  I might be paranoid, but I'm studying security
[22:26] <fluvvell> Danny78, if you can, I'd go back to the standard config file that came with the package, and just add the share description piece at the bottom.
[22:26] <justask> k, what warnings? you see them? also in dmesg?
[22:26] <craiggles> http://oi52.tinypic.com/k53pcw.jpg
[22:26] <justask> gparted is supposed to work without probs
[22:26] <fluvvell> Danny78, yeah? well once this starts working, you might want to tighten it up a bit and only let users with passwords have access to your share
[22:27] <Fireblasto> Hi, I have absolutely zero sound on my netbook for no reason whatsoever. Can anyone help?
[22:27] <justask> a moment
[22:27] <Danny78> fluvvell:  most definitely
[22:27] <zaery> !details | Fireblasto
[22:27] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I backed up the original so I'm going to open that.
[22:27] <justask> could be a partial bad filesystem
[22:27] <Fireblasto> ok then :P
[22:27] <fluvvell> Danny78, I always add the windows users in as samba users on my linux box, then assign them the same password as they have on the win box.  Plus I dont share directories from my home drive, I have another folder that holds the shares.
[22:28] <justask> i would do a fsck, but ask to someone else before
[22:28] <fluvvell> hDanny78, ome directory I mena
[22:28] <fluvvell> not drive
[22:28] <justask> not sure if it will broke your ntfs though
[22:28] <Gilberto_Ramirez> Hello
[22:28] <Gilberto_Ramirez> Hello
[22:28] <Gilberto_Ramirez> Hello
[22:28] <FloodBot4> Gilberto_Ramirez: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:28] <craiggles> justask: ive resized it many times before, just i cant now :/
[22:28] <fluvvell> Danny78,   home directory, not drive :-)
[22:29] <fluvvell> Danny78, eg,   /home/netshares/<foldername>
[22:29] <justask> that same disk?
[22:29] <xaun> hi all. Its easy to install a LAMP stack on Ubuntu 10.10 server, but how come I cant figure out how to install mail so I can have PHP send mail via SMTP.
[22:29] <Gilberto_Ramirez> Hello
[22:29] <Gilberto_Ramirez> Hello
[22:29] <Fireblasto> I have a problem with my sound. I'm running the latest ubuntu version. On my panel, I have the sound volume, but its just listed as no sound. But the volume is turned right up. I know my speakers work because I'm dual booting into windows 7 as well.
[22:30] <Gilberto_Ramirez> Hello
[22:30] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I'll have to create netshares when I can upgrade this hard drive--  120GB
[22:30] <Gilberto_Ramirez> Hello
[22:30] <Danny78> or wait..  maybe I cna still do that now
[22:30] <Danny78> hi
[22:31] <rusty149> xaun: There is a mail-server package option on the Ubuntu Server. I would look into that, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer
[22:31] <matlock> awesome
[22:31] <fluvvell> Danny78, good idea.  For more in-depth and secure setup, the samba.org website has heaps. But start easy, then once you have a working share, update to secure settings.
[22:31] <matlock> i ssh into and run vncserver and it works
[22:31] <matlock> so
[22:31] <xaun> resty149: thanks, I will look into that
[22:31] <Geekneeus> Fireblasto: In your mixer are all volumes set to max
[22:31] <Guest98096> i am running 10.04 any got reason to upgrade to 10.10
[22:31] <fluvvell> Danny78, http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html  has the goods
[22:31] <gilles> whatr would be the best remote desktop software, im new to linux ?>
[22:31] <gilles> would like to connect from work to my pc
[22:31] <Danny78> fluvvell:  agreed.  I just loaded the newer smb.conf.  What should I change?
[22:32] <shcherbak> gilles: ssh
[22:32] <Fireblasto> Geekneeus, yes they are
[22:32] <fluvvell> Danny78, add the stanzas at the end for a file share, beginning with [sharename] then the next line should be path
[22:32] <Myrtti> !give
[22:32] <Myrtti> good good
[22:32] <gilles> ssh ? .. ok and what software would i use on my windows office pc to connect ?
[22:33] <Myrtti> gilles: putty is one of the most popular ones
[22:33] <fluvvell> gilles, putty is the easiest.
[22:33] <ia4004> Hello
[22:33] <gilles> secured?
[22:33] <Myrtti> gilles: very much so
[22:33] <m1ndvirus> Hi. I can't access my encrypted home directory after a reinstall. Any advice?
[22:33] <ia4004> I need help about using a motorola dover as usb modem
[22:33] <gilles> ok and easy to set up on my linux ?
[22:33] <ia4004> I got ubuntu linux
[22:34] <ia4004> Netbook edition
[22:34] <m1ndvirus> I can't get my files. This is big trouble.
[22:34] <Myrtti> gilles: pretty much one line of installing the software, or using package management for it
[22:34] <justask> not detected ia4004?
[22:34] <ia4004> Yes
[22:34] <ia4004> Thats it
[22:34] <ia4004> I looked for something regarding to
[22:35] <ia4004> But, lost in the try
[22:35] <NixGeek> m1ndvirus: I just got here, what were you saying?  all i saw was you can't get your files
[22:35] <fluvvell> Danny78, the demo share stanza in your tutorial started with [MyFiles]
[22:35] <Nanoha> when using the `date + %a`  I thought that was supposed to give me the full date, not only just "Mon".
[22:35] <mbeierl> How do I monitor UFW Masquerading throughput or usage?
[22:35] <Danny78> fluvvell:  looking at your link--  question:  what kind of setup do I want?  I'm also running a web server besides samba, so is anonymous samba ok?
[22:35] <m1ndvirus> NixGeek: That's about it.
[22:35] <m1ndvirus> They're encrypted.
[22:35] <justask> first find the exact name of it, do a lspci and/or dmesg
[22:35] <Myrtti> Nanoha: I'd personally go for %F
[22:36] <m1ndvirus> I made a user with the same name as before and same home directory and it says "fopen: Permission denied".
[22:36] <zaery> m1ndvirus: you sure you got the right password? (disclaimer, i have no knowledge of how home folders are encrypted in ubuntu)
[22:36] <TheBobber> Hi. I have a dos text file with some strings I want to remove which are every other line & the strings are set like this <constant><variable> With the command line how would I do this automatically?
[22:36] <ryan_languagelab> How do I get apt to automatically tell me about updates?
[22:36] <m1ndvirus> zaery: Yes.
[22:36] <ia4004> I'm going to boot on linux
[22:36] <gilles> so with putty i can actually see my desktop of linux ?>
[22:36] <ia4004> Be right back
[22:36] <grim_> hello everyone
[22:36] <Geekneeus> ryan_languagelab: I'm pretty sure that's what update manager does
[22:36] <justask> take for sure
[22:36] <gilles> its a software i can use on windows ?
[22:37] <justask> hello grim
[22:37] <grim_> i have a small question...
[22:37] <mbeierl> gilles: putty gives you a "terminal view" only - text only
[22:37] <ryan_languagelab> I no longer see updates
[22:37] <rumpe1> gilles, nope... but anything else ^^
[22:37] <grim_> does anyone use shishkabab php ide?
[22:37] <justask> it has to be small :-D
[22:37] <Nanoha> Myrtti: does the `date` only work in a bash script or can i execute that at a command prompt?
[22:37] <Danny78> fluvvell: ok, so I add a section [sharename]  rather than [MyFiles] but the rest is the same?
[22:37] <grim_> or used?
[22:37] <gilles> ok .. what about GUI view ?
[22:37] <Geekneeus> ryan_languagelab: For how long?
[22:37] <justask> what hell of a name is that? xd
[22:37] <tsuna27> im Scarred
[22:37] <mbeierl> gilles:  you need to use something like VNC and turn on the remote desktop on the Ubuntu box
[22:37] <ryan_languagelab> i switched from xubuntu to ubuntu
[22:37] <Myrtti> Nanoha: bash is a "command interpreter" anyway, so yes, it works on a command prompt
[22:37] <mbeierl> gilles: VNC is available for Windows
[22:38] <justask> gilles i would try teamviewer
[22:38] <ryan_languagelab> apt upgrade is in auto start but i don't see any icons
[22:38] <grim_> thats the name of the author or something like that
[22:38] <justask> if it's like windows one go for it
[22:38] <gilles> i dont think tgeamview is compatible with linux tho
[22:38] <Geekneeus> ryan_languagelab: I have a mixture of ubuntu, xubuntu, debian and all sorts but still works for me
[22:38] <rumpe1> gilles, teamviewer is...
[22:38] <sg|> gilles yes you can check freenx
[22:38] <mbeierl> gilles: teamview IS compatible with Linux - I've used it
[22:38] <sg|> gilles or neatx server
[22:38] <ryan_languagelab> Geekneeus: okay
[22:38] <justask> is compatible for sure
[22:38] <rumpe1> gilles, but for most things, commandline is sufficient and very fast
[22:39] <Geekneeus> ryan_languagelab: Have there been updates in synaptic which haven't shown in update manager
[22:39] <fluvvell> Danny78, just looking at the link, Its got heaps of stuff with cups you should probably leave alone for now.    "the rest the same?"  -> change the path of course. you might keep the force user and put your username there
[22:39] <gilles> ok .. not much into command lines yet, i dont know any
[22:39] <justask> rumpel but remote desktop is supposed to share screen :-)
[22:39] <gilles> its litteryal my fisrt day on unbuntu
[22:39] <richthegeek> hey, not the best place to ask I know, but is anyone here a Computer Scientist and is good at identifying the running time of an algorithm? Might have solved the "clique identification" problem in sub-expo time... PM me
[22:39] <fluvvell> Danny78, if you can get any share up showing on the winbox for a start, that would get you on the map at least
[22:40] <m1ndvirus> I can't get my home directory at all.
[22:40] <m1ndvirus> Please help.
[22:40] <m1ndvirus> I'm at your mercy.
[22:40] <grim_> my actual question is does anyone know how to start because i installed the ide from the terminal
[22:40] <grim_> does anyone used shishkabab php ide around here?
[22:40] <grim_> :))
[22:40] <grim_> i think x chat i broken
[22:40] <justask> gilles here you will find lot of help - take it for granted
[22:40] <FloodBot4> grim_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:40] <grim_> it desyncs with the server
[22:41] <justask> grim get kvirc...way better
[22:41] <gilles> thx
[22:41] <grim_> thx for suggestion on it right now
[22:41] <zaery> Anyone ever have firefox not be able to connect to the internet, but their irc client can continue chatting?
[22:41] <fluvvell> Danny78, the smb.conf file with ubuntu already has a few tweaks in it, if you start with it and back up a copy for yourself as you get it working, then you can experiment with conf files like the tutorials show, and the samba.org shows.
[22:42] <Danny78> fluvvell:  ok, I'll do that
[22:42] <dl551_> Someone know how to fix this error? "make: execvp: ./config.status: Permission denied"
[22:42] <fluvvell> Danny78, when you change the smb.conf file, you should do a   sudo restart nmbd   &&    sudo restart smbd
[22:42] <grim_> zaery: nope but i got some other similar situation with other software
[22:43] <zaery> grim_ did a reboot fix the offending software?
[22:43] <justask> zaery you dont run file sharing program do you?
[22:43] <Geekneeus> zaery: perhaps you put a proxy in firefox by mistake ?
[22:43] <zaery> nope
[22:43] <Geekneeus> or something is blocking port 80
[22:43] <zaery> the only thing between it working and not working was me trying to open http://pastebin.mozilla.org/922112
[22:44] <grim_> just do a log off log on
[22:44] <grim_> it should do it, if not reboot
[22:44] <zaery> mk, brb
[22:44] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I get "nmbd start/running, process 22346
[22:44] <Danny78> restart: Unknown instance:
[22:44] <Danny78> "
[22:45] <fluvvell> Danny78, thats ok. It probably meant it was not running before.   what does testparm   give you ?
[22:45] <fluvvell> Danny78, and    smbstatus
[22:45] <fluvvell> Danny78, pastebin
[22:45] <zaery> a logoff worked :)
[22:46] <dabbill> is there any way to transfer a install of 11.04 from VMware Player to a wubi install? or how could i do it to keep my settings
[22:46] <justask> how can i force ubuntu to show boot options at start, it's a simple install on virtualbox
[22:46] <grim_> :)) ur welcome
[22:46] <meanieface> exit
[22:47] <grim_> how do i connect here with kvirc??? xchat got the server automaticly
[22:47] <Myrtti> dabbill: copy the /home and /etc ovber
[22:47] <Danny78> fluvvell:  tyestparm:  http://pastebin.com/RmuseaHR
[22:47] <grim_> and i never was a genuis at irc
[22:47] <justask> grim you find it from kvirc->new connection
[22:47] <fisch246> mind if i open a discussion about running Netflix on Ubuntu?
[22:47] <justask> and browse for calvino.freenode.net
[22:47] <Myrtti> dabbill: don't necessarily even need /etc
[22:47] <grim_> im at the servers screen
[22:48] <grim_> i must select a server
[22:48] <earwigs> i like smuxi
[22:48] <mbeierl> How do I monitor UFW Masquerading throughput or usage?
[22:48] <dabbill> Myrtti so i am guessing cp -rp /home to external drive, and same with /etc, install with wubi then cp -rp back ?
[22:48] <justask> open freenode tree
[22:48] <justask> and select one of those
[22:48] <Myrtti> dabbill: basically yes, although I wouldn't touch wubi with a three feet stick
[22:48] <justask> and then click on "connect now"
[22:48] <mbeierl> fisch246: netflix requires MS Silverlight.  not sure you're going to get very far on linux...
[22:48] <Danny78> fluvvell:  smbstatus:  http://pastebin.com/3TRzySfy
[22:49] <fluvvell> Danny78, you're too literal!!!!   not   force user = YOUR_USERNAME      force user = Danny
[22:49] <dabbill> Myrtti, yea i hear ya, but i am being lazy and dont want to partition my notebook
[22:49] <Myrtti> dabbill: just be cautioned, hic sunt leones
[22:49] <Danny78> fluvvell:  that's weird because I changed that
[22:49] <grim_> justask: done
[22:49] <Danny78> fluvvell:  hang on, let me see what happened with all this moving and renaming
[22:49] <fisch246> mbeierl: yea i know, just wondering if i could just find a way to get those binaries and such... maybe get a fake dx9... instead of stealing or buying a version of XP >.<
[22:50] <zaery> fisch246, mbeierl, I remember something about novell moonsomething that is supposed to replace silverlight on linux, but I have no clue how well it works
[22:50] <grim_> what next
[22:50] <justask> grim you will get quite happy with that
[22:50] <mbeierl> fisch246: zaery it was moonlight
[22:50] <justask> write /list to open channel list
[22:50] <dabbill> Myrtti, thanks :) i should just do it right i guess lol, my 2nd HD like isnt even being used, so have 400+ gigs free.
[22:50] <justask> sort by users
[22:50] <Danny78> fluvvell:  ok, it's still using that old example file, not the newer one
[22:50] <justask> and pick the most populated :-)
[22:51] <Myrtti> dabbill: the laziest possible way of doing it is to have an external harddrive with the same filesystem as the original and the target /home is so that the permissions will keep, and do rsync -av --progress instead of cp between
[22:51] <ia4004> Hello
[22:51] <ia4004> I
[22:51] <ia4004> '
[22:51] <martin__> what do I do when I have the initramfs boot prompt?
[22:51] <mbeierl> fisch246: the real issue is DRM.  The DRM portion of silverlight is not available for moonlight
[22:51] <fluvvell> Danny78,  sudo apt-get install samba-doc
[22:52] <ia4004> I'm now on linux, just ask
[22:52] <grim_> it's alive it's aliiiive
[22:52] <dabbill> Myrtti, problem is that the external is a 1 tera and 90% full, and its NTFS
[22:52] <fisch246> anyone think there's a chance to get mac binaries and getting netflix to work?
[22:52] <Myrtti> dabbill: :-(
[22:52] <ia4004> You told me to do a dmesg
[22:52] <Myrtti> fisch246: no.
[22:52] <ia4004> Or a list
[22:52] <grim|2> i think it works now
[22:52] <theholder> how do i get the connection manager to go back onto the top bar in ubuntu 10.10 ?
[22:53] <Danny78> What's the command to rename a file?
[22:53] <fluvvell> Danny78, mv
[22:53] <carrots> egrep -o "my_regex" is not returning its match. :/
[22:53] <dabbill> Myrtti, is there a way to copy all installed programs over as well? i am on a slow connection right now and would take forever to redownload
[22:53] <theholder> mv blah.blah blah.bla
[22:53] <justask> grim|2: yep :-)
[22:54] <grim|2> yeah it works now
[22:54] <theholder> how do i get the connection manager to go back onto the top bar in ubuntu 10.10 ?
[22:54] <rumpe1> dabbill, you could backup your /var/cache/apt/archive-folder... and use it later for updates/installations. The packages the package-manager downloaded, needn't to be downloaded again, if they are already there
[22:54] <justask> you mean the icon theholder?
[22:54] <theholder> yeah
[22:54] <theholder> justask
[22:55] <justask> yes
[22:55] <carrots> How do you match an IP address with the regex "\b(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\b
[22:55] <carrots> "
[22:55] <carrots> with grep?
[22:55] <Myrtti> dabbill: depending on your settings, "with great difficulty"
[22:55] <xangua> theholder: do you have a notification area in your panel ¿¿ when you do, just run: nm-applet
[22:55] <eviljames> A man had a problem.  he decided to solve that problem with a regex.  Now the man has 2 problems.
[22:55] <Danny78> How do I stop and restart samba again?  sorry...  lots and lots of commands to memorize
[22:55] <ia4004> How do you connect a motorola phone as usb modem on linux?, I got the ubuntu netbook remix edition
[22:56] <gilles> ok i got teamviewr,  but if i click the X it closes down the app and i cant connect from the outside, can the app run in the background ?
[22:56] <skullboy> how do i unbind accels from the gtk+ menu
[22:56] <dabbill> Myrtti, rumpe1 i am gessing i would break way to much stuff if i just cp -rp / then installed and copied everything back
[22:57] <theholder> justask: where do i find this?
[22:57] <fluvvell> Danny78, your command line has a memory, use the up arrow and you see the history of what commands you've typed - assuming you're using the terminal shell
[22:57] <justask> i am looking for it
[22:57] <justask> thought it was easier
[22:57] <fluvvell> Danny78, and unlike windows its persistent through logouts and reboots
[22:58] <theholder> its the one that lets you connect to wireless etc
[22:58] <justask> i know
[22:59] <rumpe1> dabbill, you won't have big trouble with /home being overwritten... in worst case, just add a new user and everything works again
[22:59] <gilles>  ok i got teamviewr,  but if i click the X it closes down the app and i cant connect from the outside, can the app run in the background ?
[22:59] <rusty149> ia4004: You should be able to connect it and connect from the network-manager menu
[23:00] <rumpe1> dabbill, and if you fear to destroy something by changing your system... don't change it ^^
[23:00] <justask> theholder: right click on application bar
[23:00] <justask> then - add to panel
[23:00] <theholder> ok
[23:00] <justask> try
[23:00] <BernardV> If someone gets segfaults after installing php-apc, just remove php-xcache...
[23:00] <justask> BernardV: thanks for advice
[23:01] <lestat> BernardV: hehe
[23:01] <BernardV> justask: Took me a while :P
[23:01] <Danny78> when I try to stop samba it says command not found
[23:01] <dabbill> rumpel its not a big deal if i break anything, i am just tired of the shitty performance of ubuntu in VMware Player
[23:01] <m1ndvirus> I can't see my old encrypted home directory at all. Please help.
[23:01] <rusty149> Danny78: Please paste the command here
[23:01] <theholder> justask?
[23:01] <BernardV> lestat: :P I didn't laugh untill now ;)
[23:01] <dabbill> rumpel i have a i7 720 but it runs like a 2gig single core lol
[23:01] <justask> yep
[23:02] <justask> dont you find in the list?
[23:02] <Danny78> rusty149:  /etc/init.d/samba start
[23:02] <Myrtti> m1ndvirus: have you had a look at http://www.kaijanmaki.net/2009/10/26/recovering-files-from-ecryptfs-encrypted-home/ ?
[23:02] <lestat> BernardV: i can imagin
[23:02] <theholder> find what?
[23:02] <kerim> hi
[23:02] <Danny78> I couldn't find the old command
[23:02] <m1ndvirus> Myrtti: No, thanks. :)
[23:02] <rusty149> Danny78: sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart  , assuming it is samba server
[23:02] <BernardV> lestat: I didn't realize that xcache was installed by default..
[23:02] <fluvvell> Danny78,  sudo stop smbd && sudo stop nmbd
[23:03] <Myrtti> m1ndvirus: or rather, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering%20Your%20Data%20Manually
[23:03] <fluvvell> Danny78,  sudo start smbd && sudo start nmbd
[23:03] <justask> theholder: the application to add to panel ?
[23:03] <Danny78> fluvvell:  what's nmbd?
[23:03] <grim|2> has anyone tried shishkabab php ide? i installed it but i dont really know how to start it
[23:03] <theholder> what application?
[23:03] <BernardV> lestat: But renderingtimes improve a factor 2-10 with apc instead of xcache.. so it's worth it
[23:03] <lestat> BernardV: nice
[23:03] <sg|> how can i see my startup services ? and modify them ?
[23:03] <lestat> BernardV: but i guess it also depends on the configuration
[23:04] <grim|2> it doesnt apear in any menu so i believe it should be started from command line but the author didnt left any documentation
[23:04] <grim|2> or at least i can't find it
[23:04] <sg|> how can i see my startup services ? and modify them ?
[23:04] <BernardV> It does.. but both are opcode cache systems, and APC is faster.. that's also the reason APC will be in PHP6 by default
[23:04] <rumpe1> sg|, service --status-all
[23:05] <fluvvell> Danny78, the samba daemon and the samba netbios name server daemon
[23:05] <justask> how do i make show up boot options for grub, it's a new install in virtualbox, and it runs without possibly making choices
[23:05] <BernardV> lestat: (forgot the nick) It does.. but both are opcode cache systems, and APC is faster.. that's also the reason APC will be in PHP6 by default
[23:05] <rumpe1> justask, check timeout for grub in /etc/default/grub
[23:05] <fluvvell> Danny78, any working samba instance will have both running
[23:06] <grim|2> well you dont have options to select if it's in a virtualbox as i recal
[23:06] <grim|2> i might be worng
[23:06] <fluvvell> Danny78, we used to go  sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[23:06] <sg|> rumpe1 i want some of my services to run on startup such as nmbd and smbd
[23:06] <justask> k thanks
[23:06] <lestat> BernardV: oh ok i though you were basing your argument on this particular example :p
[23:06] <justask> or maybe with esc?
[23:06] <BernardV> lestat: I wouldn't dare ;)
[23:06] <XVampireX> people help me out on this part, I'm on a lan
[23:06] <rumpe1> sg|, aren't they automatically set to autostart after installation?
[23:06] <fluvvell> Danny78, now with upstart we use start restart or stop. and the path isn't needed.
[23:06] <XVampireX> I want to host a website for dev purposes
[23:07] <XVampireX> how do I share a link?
[23:07] <sg|> dunno mine is not starting
[23:07] <lestat> BernardV: :)
[23:07] <XVampireX> I've got drupal set up with LAMP on ubuntu
[23:07] <XVampireX> all I need is sharing
[23:07] <thieven`> do you still need to do gksudo when launching a program?   like gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[23:07] <Danny78> fluvvell:  that makes it easier, but I'm still not seeing my Ubuntu box from win7
[23:08] <BernardV> lestat: Was just some info for people who run into the same problems I did...
[23:08] <rumpe1> sg|, have you rebooted? ... maybe manual start with "sudo service smbd start" or such ... maybe you need to add a start-command into /etc/rc.local...
[23:08] <fluvvell> Danny78, I'm going to have to leave in about a half hour, can I recommend  #ubuntu-server for your  samba help once I'm away?
[23:08] <Danny78> fluvvell:  sure, and thanks so much for your help
[23:08] <fluvvell> Danny78,  smbstatus   -> pastebin
[23:08] <fluvvell> Danny78, my pleasure.
[23:09] <fluvvell> Danny78, did you set up a workgroup in your win7 box?  It needs to be the same as the workgroup name you assign in the start of the smb.conf file
[23:10] <MojoWork> hey, anyone recall the name of the package that shows you an outstanding bug list when you do aptitude safe-update?
[23:10] <BernardV> sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart (or /etc/init.d/samba4 for samba 4)
[23:10] <Danny78> fluvvell, yeah, the workgroup is set up,  smbstatus:  http://pastebin.com/mTQLwDF2
[23:10] <rusty149> XVampireX: Do you know the name of the website?
[23:10] <XVampireX> huh?
[23:10] <XVampireX> It's on my computer....
[23:10] <fluvvell> Danny78, my apologies, it should have been smbtree
[23:11] <grim|2> any1 have any idea why i get overflow when trying to join ##php channel?
[23:11] <rusty149> XVampireX: Yes, what is the name of the website file, you want to link
[23:11] <XVampireX> not website file
[23:11] <XVampireX> a whole website
[23:11] <DonJuan> hi
[23:11] <elky> grim|2, you need to be registered.
[23:11] <grim|2> acctually you give the link to the index file
[23:12] <grim|2> oooo
[23:12] <grim|2> thx
[23:12] <breadcrumb> grim|2 you need to register with nickserv
[23:12] <elky> and identified obviously ;)
[23:12] <Danny78> fluvvell, http://pastebin.com/cbg19fSV
[23:12] <rusty149> XVampireX: OK but you would send them a link to one page e.g the home page.
[23:12] <XVampireX> grim|2, As far as I'm concerned my browser goes there just fine with localhost/drupal
[23:12] <BernardV> grim|2: Which client.. I can join with irssi...
[23:12] <grim|2> kvirc
[23:13] <Geekneeus> XVampireX: You need to send them your I.P
[23:13] <BernardV> grim|2: Don't know the client.. maybe it's the 482 nicks ?
[23:13] <XVampireX> I need to forward port 80 to my pc? I'm on a lan
[23:13] <rusty149> XVampireX: Try #drupal
[23:14] <rusty149> XVampireX: OK
[23:14] <fluvvell> Danny78, I dont recommend spaces in machine or workgroup names, but have you named your ubuntuserver SAMBA24?
[23:14] <rusty149> XVampireX: You would do that in the lan router
[23:14] <rumpe1> spaces are evil :/
[23:14] <Geekneeus> XVampireX: Your external I.P is your only link to the outside world and 80 would need to be forwarded
[23:14] <Danny78> fluvvell:  my ubuntu server is buddha, so I'm guessing I need to change that
[23:14] <user> What should I do? Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory
[23:15] <grim|2> yeah to alah
[23:15] <grim|2> :))
[23:15] <BernardV> XVampireX: http://portforward.com/ <-- most routers explained
[23:15] <XVampireX> ah
[23:15] <fluvvell> Danny78, hehe, well if you had used the default smb.conf and added your shares at the bottom, the name would have come out the same.
[23:16] <shcherbak> user: What gives command: locale ?
[23:16] <lestat> BernardV: lol
[23:16] <lestat> you're so mean
[23:17] <jason_fn> guys, i created a swap partition. do i have to point system to use it, or will system "see" it itself after reboot?
[23:17] <thieven`> jason_fn, it will just use it.
[23:18] <thieven`> jason_fn, hmm, after you've installed the OS... hmm, that part i'm not sure of.
[23:18] <jason_fn> thieven` thank u =)
[23:18] <Danny78> fluvvell:  this is weird  http://pastebin.com/xpmuAN94
[23:18] <thieven`> jason_fn, you shuld get a second opinion on that one.   heheh.
[23:18] <user> shcherbak: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/922312
[23:18] <jason_fn> well, yes, i installed without swap
[23:18] <jason_fn> ok
[23:18] <PerSeL> hello, how can I make sure ubuntu using video drivers for my video card?
[23:19] <user> PerSeL, try to use it
[23:19] <user> if it works then it is using them
[23:19] <jason_fn> PerSel, system - administration -> additional drivers
[23:19] <thieven`> jason, you dont really need swap.
[23:19] <fluvvell> Danny78, don't worry its just because you've changed the name.
[23:19] <PerSeL> jason_fn: there is 0 in the list
[23:19] <thieven`> jason_fn, how much ram do you have?
[23:19] <eviljames> thieven`: what?  Suspend to disk?
[23:19] <shcherbak> user: Looks ok, what do you want to do?
[23:19] <eviljames> jason_fn: You do need swap, in certain circumstances.
[23:19] <fluvvell> Danny78, so is gaia the windows box?  There are no shares showing up
[23:19] <Geekneeus> jason_fn: is it in your /etc/fstab
[23:20] <PerSeL> user: well it looks like working but it can work wrong or something if wrong driver is used
[23:20] <jason_fn> thieven` 2GB
[23:20] <shcherbak> jason_fn: man swapon
[23:20] <jason_fn> shcherbak, thx ))))
[23:20] <Danny78> fluvvell:  yes, gaia is win7 and I have music set to share
[23:21] <user> shcherbak, http://pastebin.mozilla.org/922319
[23:21] <jason_fn> PerSel, do u got smth NOT working, why sure u need those add. drivers?
[23:21] <sg|> rumpe1: I want to run my eggdrop and psybnc on reboot
[23:21] <justask> which packet do i need for vncviewer? it suggests me 4 choices
[23:21] <user> sg|, use cron
[23:21] <BernardV> lestat: Mean? Me? ;)
[23:22] <lestat> hehe
[23:22] <PerSeL> jason_fn: well cause when I run my laptop on bat. it take 30 min to finish them, in windows in 2-3h
[23:22] <justask> PerSeL: so power management is not working
[23:22] <sg|> user: does cron check if the proccess is already running or not ?
[23:22] <shcherbak> user: either setlocale or make /etc/default/locale with LANG="en_AU.UTF-8"
[23:22] <BernardV> sg|: Nope
[23:23] <PerSeL> justask: why it's not working it tell me I'm unpluged
[23:23] <justask> even if on line?
[23:23] <BernardV> sg|: Sorry didn't see the user:
[23:23] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I have folder set to share, but since I can't add buddha or a buddha user, ??
[23:23] <jason_fn> PerSel, did u visit power management in sys menu? Actually, my linux system also works less in time than the windows one
[23:24] <user> sg|, you can write a line for it to check
[23:24] <user> you can run any cmd on reboot with it, e.g. if it is in ps then not run it
[23:24] <user> it is bash scripting
[23:24] <user> bash cmd it can run on reboot
[23:24] <user> so you can add an 'if'
[23:24] <sg|> user: umm so i need to find an example script and modify it
[23:25] <user> yes
[23:25] <PerSeL> jason_fn: yes ofc I visited I can not use os at all just leave it unpluged and it takes just 30 min finish them
[23:25] <justask> which package do i need for vncviewer? it suggests me 4 choices to install
[23:25] <sg|> user do you have one ?
[23:25] <sg|> :)
[23:25] <mariusz_> hej
[23:25] <PerSeL> jason_fn: so I thought first to check if the video card is set properly and so on
[23:25] <shcherbak> justask: is it for linux only?
[23:25] <edbian> sg|: What are you trying to do?
[23:25] <justask> yep
[23:25] <user> also, why would you need to check whether your bot is running after reboot, if cron is the only way to start it? you usually just add it to startup, there is no reason for 2 bots to run then
[23:25] <user> sg|
[23:25] <sg|> edbian: try to run eggdrop and psybnc on restart
[23:25] <justask> i want to connect with remote desktop
[23:25] <justask> or ssh
[23:26] <justask> whatever
[23:26] <edbian> sg|: Do you want them to run everytime?
[23:26] <user> yes
[23:26] <edbian> justask: ssh userName@hostName   :)
[23:26] <sg|> edbian: yes
[23:26] <user> see my last question,, sg|
[23:26] <edbian> sg|: Then just add them to System -> Admin -> Startup
[23:26] <justask> edbian: even with ip address?
[23:27] <edbian> justask: ip address works in place of hostname yes
[23:27] <user> ... if you have gui, sg|, see what edbian said
[23:27] <BernardV> sg|: if ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep [commandname] (without []) ; then ...
[23:27] <user> :o
[23:27] <sg|> edbian: even the restart
[23:27] <edbian> justask: in fact, if you put a hostname the first thing it does is resolve that name to an I.P. address
[23:27] <justask> k
[23:27] <shcherbak> justask: check what vnc server are you using, and pick similar client, but any should work.
[23:27] <jason_fn> PerSel, mmm, well, anyways, video card must not take that much more.
[23:27] <edbian> sg|: If you put a program in System -> Admin -> startup it will be run everytime the computer boots (or reboots)
[23:27] <user> shcherbak: -bash: setlocale: command not found
[23:28] <sg|> user I have a client who is running eggdrop and psybnc , when i restart the computer client process is also gone i want to run them again.
[23:28] <Maxeetoh> !es
[23:28] <shcherbak> user: one moment
[23:28] <PerSeL> jason_fn: anyway is that too hard to check which driver is set for my video card in ubuntu?
[23:28] <AndroUser> Hi
[23:28] <sg|> edbian no gui :)
[23:28] <jason_fn> shcherbak, does swapon also apply to newly created swap? (installed system without swap)
[23:28] <user> shcherbak: Ok I made the  /etc/default/locale with LANG="en_AU.UTF-8" ; will see whether the error happens again. Thanks.
[23:28] <sg|> user to basic run thats all
[23:28] <BernardV> jason_fn: Yup
[23:29] <edbian> sg|: check out update-rc.d
[23:29] <justask> edbian: i would like the client however
[23:29] <justask> for remote access
[23:29] <jason_fn> PerSel, nope, u just need a terminal command.
[23:29] <edbian> justask: sudo apt-get install openssh-server   then you can ssh into the client machine as well
[23:29] <fluvvell> Danny78, same username on both machines?
[23:30] <Dangr_> Hd
[23:30] <PerSeL> jason_fn: which is?
[23:30] <fluvvell> Danny78, you've still got that space in your workgroup name
[23:30] <jason_fn> PerSel, try google it. u got ati or nvidia? if ati, u might try to install fglrx package
[23:30] <Danny78> fluvvell:  that's what I'm unsure of, but in Win I can only add my win name and that's not the same as my Ubuntu username
[23:30] <user> sg|, then have cron start them, add ' @reboot username path/to/bouncer ' to /etc/crontab ; no need to check whether it's already running, it will just quit itself when it finds that the port is already in use if someone else started it (which is unlikely by itself)
[23:30] <PerSeL> jason_fn: intel one
[23:31] <fluvvell> Danny78, add the windows user to your ubuntu machine.
[23:31] <jason_fn> PerSel, i don't exact one. actually sudo lspc could help but this command has long output
[23:31] <jason_fn> BernardV, thank ya :-)
[23:32] <markturnip> How can I auto mount a external USB CD Drive?
[23:32] <jason_fn> PerSeL, the thing is most of intel card are supported by default open source drivers
[23:32] <PerSeL> sudo: lspc: command not found
[23:32] <sg|> how can i run program with another user rights ?
[23:32] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I removed the workgroup space and am creating user for windows
[23:33] <fluvvell> Danny78, I don't know your overall go, but simplicity in common usernames etc always helps
[23:33] <fluvvell> *goal
[23:33] <rumpe1> PerSeL, lspci
[23:33] <milamber>  sg|: su <user>
[23:33] <jason_fn> PerSeL, so probably the problem is not in video card
[23:33] <munkbusiness> hallo
[23:33] <user> hi
[23:33] <rumpe1> sg|, sudo (switch user - do... )
[23:33] <munkbusiness> So is this the right IRC if you got some problems with Ubuntu
[23:34] <justask> i need to install vncviewer, whick package do i need?
[23:34] <shcherbak> user: sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf ?

[23:36] <Fredricho> Hi
[23:36] <munkbusiness> Sounds good, the problem is that I get no response or input from my microphone, neither the one I pluged in or the build in. When going to record there is no reponse and if I try to playback after I "recorded" it says something about file not existing.
[23:36] <Fredricho> I remeber old days of linux
[23:36] <fightling> I'm about to buy a new computer with a Asus P6X58D motherboard. I can't find it in the HW compatibility list. Someone here who's running this motherboard with ubuntu 10.xx? Is the on board sound working? Are there any compatibility issues?

[23:38] <munkbusiness> Sounds good, the problem is that I get no response or input from my microphone, neither the one I pluged in or the build in. When going to record there is no reponse and if I try to playback after I "recorded" it says something about file not existing. I have treid both ALSA and pulseaudio control something, none of the tricks from forums have worked so far.
[23:38] <fluvvell> Danny78, the top is the users name text, the bottom is the login name.
[23:38] <Danny78> fluvvell:  then that should work
[23:39] <fluvvell> Danny78, sounds confusing. I thought the winbox was called gaia?  you have a username gaia as well ?

[23:39] <fluvvell> Danny78, can we go over to #ubuntu-server?  I'm not far from leaving
[23:39] <user> shcherbak: ok
[23:40] <Danny78> fluvvell: yeah that's fine, don't let me keep you
[23:40] <shcherbak> user: still for ssh you can just create file with LANG
[23:41] <munkbusiness> If anyone could help me with the following I would be very glad: The problem is that I get no response or input from my microphone, neither the one I pluged in or the build in.

[23:41] <huluo> hello! im looking for a way to remotely access a server graphically from the point of gdm on. vnc (vino-server) is only if youre already logged in and thus not what i look for. what is there to achieve this?
[23:43] <shcherbak> huluo: in console (tty) xinit and ssh to server and startx
[23:44] <Mouldy_Punk> hey guys. I've set chromium as my default web browser, /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser  points to the right place and x-chat opens links in chromium - but evolution doesn't. It still tries to open links with firefox. Do you know how I can fix that behaviour? I'm using ubuntu 10.04
[23:44] <edbian> huluo: Make sure the server has a graphical env installed at all.  There is not one by default
[23:44] <StevenSJ> Is there a good text-to-speech program for Ubuntu?
[23:45] <edbian> Mouldy_Punk: Did you look through the settings of evolution?  There might be something in there
[23:45] <huluo> edbian: its an ubuntu desktop version, i was working on it already. shcherbak: i dont understand. im looking for something as easy as vinagre+vino-server, just from gdm.

[23:45] <boldfilter> I get: info: A new version of repo is available: You should upgrade soon: How do I do this
[23:46] <Mouldy_Punk> edbian, I had a quick look and didn't see anything related - but the preferences dialog isn't that great on a netbook screen - a lot of buttons and options get cut off due to the low resolution
[23:46] <adv0cate> if i upgrade my ubuntu to 10.10 will i loose my background, addons etc?
[23:46] <huluo> milamber: im looking to acces th ewhole dsktop envinroment gnome, not only this or that program. duno if the video is about it.
[23:46] <Roasted> How can I open your standard Nautilus File Manager in UNR? I'm trying to open it so I can CTRL + L and type in the "UNC" of my samba server so I can share network stuff.
[23:46] <trism> huluo: http://flukylogs.blogspot.com/2009/11/setting-up-vnc-for-gdm-login.html , haven't tried it but seems like it should work, since it was updated for karmic, when we got gdm2
[23:47] <shcherbak> huluo: you can run whole gnome (anything) over ssh
[23:47] <edbian> Mouldy_Punk: mhmm, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some settings somewhere about what to do with links in emails.  However without the gui I'm not sure you can change them.
[23:47] <edbian> Mouldy_Punk: Technically to run gnome you're supposed to have a resolution of at least 1024/768
[23:47] <edbian> 1024x768
[23:47] <milamber> huluo: i don't see why startx wouldn't work
[23:48] <huluo> trism: xdmcp is over in ubuntu 10.10
[23:48] <Mouldy_Punk> edbian, Evolution ships as the default email client for the netbook edition - so in theory, it should fit :P
[23:48] <huluo> shcherbak: but with t
[23:48] <Mouldy_Punk> edbian, do you know of a gconf key i could change perhaps?
[23:48] <huluo> shcherbak: sry. but with what userrights? :o
[23:48] <edbian> Mouldy_Punk: it should.  But I'm sure the evolution developers care more about a good email client than they do about fitting on every screen ever made.
[23:49] <edbian> Mouldy_Punk: That's what I'm saying.  I don't think there is a gconf-key.  There might be.  gconf is huge
[23:49] <huluo> milamber: i dont know what commands i exactly would have to put in. i know how to login with ssh and start this or that command, but norhing more.
[23:49] <Mouldy_Punk> edbian, Thanks. I'll have a poke around gconf and see if I can find anything useful.
[23:50] <edbian> Mouldy_Punk: good luck
[23:50] <milamber> huluo: watch the video.
[23:51] <huluo> milamber: already have. i have run programs already, but not a whole de.
[23:52] <Roasted> does anybody else find ubuntu netbook remix to run kinda chunky on netbooks?
[23:52] <justask> where do i find the boot choice timeout setting?
[23:52] <Mouldy_Punk> Roasted, chunky in that nothing fits on the screen or that it seems to be more resource intensive than the desktop variant? Yes on both counts in my experience
[23:53] <milamber> huluo: try to run startx via the ssh command
[23:53] <Roasted> Oddly its taking up very very few resources to run, but the actual interface is kinda slow and not seamless at all when running
[23:53] <huluo> milamber: sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
[23:53] <Roasted> perhaps Ill try the desktop variant
[23:53] <huluo> milamber: startx wants sudo
[23:53] <aleiex> hi
[23:53] <aleiex> i bought some ddapter to mke an old hd as externall
[23:54] <huluo> X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[23:54] <aleiex> but ubuntu doesn' t detect it
[23:54] <Mouldy_Punk> Roasted, I got the best experience using 10.04  desktop
[23:54] <aleiex> wht im doing wrong?
[23:54] <Roasted> Mouldy_Punk, good deal. I think I'm going to give 10 10 a whirl tho since its already on my flash drive.
[23:54] <Roasted> Mouldy_Punk, out of curiosity, do you know how to connect to a network resource in UNR?
[23:54] <thieven`> do you still need to do gksudo when launching a program?   like gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[23:55] <adv0cate> if i upgrade my ubuntu to 10.10 will i loose my background, addons etc?
[23:55] <thieven`> adv0cate, short answer - no.   but what else are you worried about losing?
[23:55] <markturnip> When I insert my CD should it auto mount? - if so; where?
[23:55] <markturnip> (Using Ubuntu server)
[23:55] <edbian> thieven`: Only if you need to be root in order to run that command
[23:55] <thieven`> adv0cate, you can save your background pictures.
[23:55] <edbian> adv0cate: no
[23:56] <milamber> huluo: if you have ssh installed can't you ssh into the box and start the server?
[23:56] <thieven`> edbian, what is it that the gk part does?
[23:56] <adv0cate> thieven, will everything automatically be saved? and look the same like my docking station etc?
[23:56] <edbian> thieven`: sudo makes you root for the cli.  gksudo makes you root graphically
[23:56] <thieven`> adv0cate, i would say yes.
[23:56] <edbian> thieven`: It's the same idea just for different types of apps
[23:57] <j2daosh> is there a way to access a UNC path from the terminal?
[23:57] <thieven`> edbian, so what would happen if i didn't do the gk part of that?  seems nothing really happens.
[23:57] <j2daosh> ordo I have to mount it before i can access a UNC
[23:57] <thieven`> j2daosh, what is it you want to access?
[23:57] <huluo> milamber: gdm is already running on the box, thus i guess the "server" is yet running too?
[23:58] <j2daosh> thieven`: a UNC samaba share on a newwork storage server
[23:58] <edbian> thieven`: I believe the difference is that the gksudo does not run the gui as root, only the underlying code (the important part).  If you ran sudo gedit than gedit's code and the code for the GUI is all root.  if you run gksudo gedit then the gui is still just you but the underlying code is run as root.
[23:58] <edbian> thieven`: It is proper to use sudo for CLI apps and gksudo for GUI apps
[23:58] <thieven`> j2daosh, you would have to mount it before you can access something in it.   you could combine the two commands into one though... like mount and then access this or that path.
[23:59] <j2daosh> thieven`: thats what i thought. crap. ok. thanks
[23:59] <thieven`> edbian, thanks for clarifing that edbian. i never understood that.
[23:59] <thieven`> j2daosh, you can access a path that is not mounted yet. think of it that way.
[23:59] <edbian> thieven`: no problem
