[00:00] <X14U2NVX> edbian: the broadband B4312
[00:00] <edbian> X14U2NVX: beautiful
[00:00] <thieven`> dffd, if you boot a live cd or usb key, then you can get at your files and move them to a external hard drive or something. then you can wipe that computer and reinstall ubuntu.
[00:00] <edbian> X14U2NVX: Is the machine connected to the internet right now?
[00:01] <big_t> thieven`: trying to add freebsd to grub menu.lst , and its located on second drive sdb
[00:01] <X14U2NVX> edbian: I am using that machine atm... Using ethernet to get connection
[00:01] <edbian> X14U2NVX: please pastebin the output of dmesg
[00:01] <edbian> X14U2NVX: excellent.  i feel very confident about this right now
[00:01] <n-iCe> how do I join to the kernel folder?
[00:01] <thieven`> big_t, you will need to see if (where the bsd is) called sdb1 or sdb2.... and tell grub where on sdb to look.
[00:02] <MJBrune> i want to check my system if it has this http://it.slashdot.org/it/08/02/10/2011257.shtml exploit, anyone have a copy of this?
[00:02] <big_t> thieven`: sdb1
[00:02] <mattgyver> EtherealWinterWi, run gconf-editor and take a look at /apps/nautilus/preferences/confirm_trash and see if it is checked
[00:02] <dffd> wont let me make a copy of /etc/
[00:02] <X14U2NVX> http://pastebin.com/rg3qZ6rZ
[00:02] <thieven`> dffd why would you want to copy that folder?
[00:03] <dffd> Most settings are in your home folder (in hidden folders) and system wide configuration files are in /etc/ (you'll only need to backup files from /etc/ which you edited yourself). If you backup these you should be able to reset most of you're current settings in your new install.
[00:03] <terron> How do I delete a network interface?
[00:03] <edbian> X14U2NVX: mm, the card seems to be working but is not able to associated with the wireless router
[00:03] <dffd> this is really stupid. how can an entire install be screwed up from me installing 2 or 3 packages. i want my desktop back
[00:03] <thieven`> mattgyver, "as long as it's a Linux kernel version 2.6.17 to 2.6.24.1."      in a terminal type uname -r    this will tell you what kernel you have.
[00:04] <EtherealWinterWi> It is, that option is to only warn when deleting files from the trash
[00:04] <edbian> X14U2NVX: Can you tell me what lsmod | grep b43 says?
[00:04] <X14U2NVX> edbian: It does this for all routers
[00:04] <X14U2NVX> sure
[00:04] <sam-_-> dffd, and we may help if you tell us specifics about the problem
[00:04] <thieven`> dffd, i agree mate. it is odd.
[00:04] <sam-_-> dffd, i doubt it's because of the installed packaged
[00:04] <sam-_-> dffd, i doubt it's because of the installed packages
[00:04] <mattgyver> EtherealWinterWi, oh sorry I thought that was what you needed
[00:04] <dffd> so the command sudo apt-get install totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread4 <--- screwed up my desktop. any help appreciated
[00:04] <n-iCe> how do I join to the kernel folder?
[00:05] <sam-_-> dffd, so you are dropped to console on boot now?
[00:05] <dffd> boots with no splash screen. asks for login and password which i give it. i just want my desktop back
[00:05] <X14U2NVX> edbian: it has been added to the pastebin
[00:05] <Thunderirc> hey does anyone know why ubuntu server is using my routers ip
[00:05] <Thunderirc> ?
[00:05] <sam-_-> dffd, ask for password where? on a tty?
[00:05] <MJBrune> anyone have an example copy of the 2.6.17 exploit?
[00:05] <edbian> X14U2NVX: It made a new pastebin.  Please give me the new link
[00:05] <dffd> yes tty
[00:06] <EtherealWinterWi> i mean a warning before sending a file to the trash bin as it is so easy to accidently push the delete button and not realise you've sent a file or folder there
[00:06] <X14U2NVX> http://pastebin.com/GLpmaGPf
[00:06] <sam-_-> then try: sudo restart gdm
[00:06] <sam-_-> dffd, then try: sudo restart gdm
[00:06] <bholzinger> I'm having serious display issues with my load. Using Kernel 2.6.31-14 - generic, help!
[00:07] <edbian> X14U2NVX: It's using the b43 driver already.  Did you do anything to set it up?
[00:07] <goddard> I have been trying to setup an email server with some luck but an something that is out of most tutorials it seems is one vital aspect and that is how to setup the domain.  Can anyone enlighten me?
[00:07] <X14U2NVX> edbian: I went into additional drivers and had it use the default one. The only other driver I have already tried, and does not recognize the device at all
[00:07] <bastidrazor> goddard: #postfix may be a good channel
[00:07] <edbian> X14U2NVX: Additionally, can you give me more of dmesg?  I only got the last 10 linues
[00:08] <X14U2NVX> edbian: yes
[00:08] <namnatulco> MJBrune: http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/5092/
[00:08] <edbian> X14U2NVX: thanks
[00:08] <dffd> i have tried that and it said gdm unknown command. i tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart got the same message
[00:08] <namnatulco> MJBrune: I think, anyway.
[00:08] <MJBrune> namnatulco: thats it, thanks
[00:08] <bholzinger> Alternatively: how can I remove ubuntu (single load, no win partitions) and replace it with 10.10? is there a command in Gnome that says "hey, reboot the hard drive from the cd mounted."???
[00:08] <dw-> my cpus aer at 100% and System Monitor isn't showing what's causing it.  What other program(s) can I use?
[00:08] <sergiorauber> I'm having problem with the microphone jack on a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Maverick Meerkat
[00:08] <dffd> im going to try it all again and write down the error messages. i think my apt-get sources list may be a problem too if you can give me an url where i can copy and paste over my old list
[00:08] <sam-_-> dffd, which version of ubuntu? or are you using kubuntu?
[00:08] <n-iCe> how do I join to the kernel folder? the path where is located
[00:08] <timbojimbo31488> I am having some problems with ushare. It takes a long time for it to load. I have the directories set up to my downloads, videos, and music, but none show up on the PS3. I also have a directory set to my home folder and everything shows up there. except the video files. It was working before, but I'm not sure why it is not working now. any ideas?
[00:09] <dffd> ubuntu 7.10 i think it is but i would have to check what it says in grub
[00:09] <X14U2NVX> edbian: new pastebin: http://pastebin.com/PSf0UFLT
[00:09] <edbian> X14U2NVX: what happens when you run 'sudo iwlist scan'  ?
[00:09] <X14U2NVX> edbian: lemme check
[00:09] <dw-> nevermind.
[00:09] <markturnip> My analogue audio output isn't working. I'm using Ubuntu server. Where do I begin trying to debug this? 
[00:09] <philsf> dw-, system monitor must be using the "show my processes" option, choose "show all processes" from the menu
[00:09] <dw-> philsf: top showed the prob... guess it was hidden in System Monitor
[00:10] <dffd> is it possible a bad apt-get sources list couldve been responsible for the mess up to start with
[00:10] <sam-_-> dffd, oh then upgrade because 7.10 isn't supported anymore
[00:10] <X14U2NVX> edbian: for my wireless device it says "no scan results", for the rest, "Interface doesn't support scanning".
[00:10] <dffd> k. will upgrading keep my existing settings and install me a new desktop?
[00:10] <bholzinger> I'm having serious display issues with my load. Using Kernel 2.6.31-14 - generic, help! Alternatively: how can I remove ubuntu (single load, no win partitions) and replace it with 10.10? is there a command in Gnome that says "hey, reboot the hard drive from the cd mounted."???
[00:10] <edbian> X14U2NVX: Do networks show up in the applet?
[00:11] <sam-_-> dffd, hopefully
[00:11] <minimec> X14U2NVX: do you see any device with 'iwconfig' in a console?
[00:11] <dw-> philsf: ahh k cool :)
[00:11] <X14U2NVX> edbian: at the moment, no, but it was working earlier
[00:11] <sam-_-> dffd, can't promise anything because 7.10 is quite old
[00:11] <sam-_-> dffd, lsb_release -a|grep -i release
[00:11] <edbian> X14U2NVX: According to dmesg it associates to the access point twice but then it doesn't get a probe response and it is unable to connect again
[00:11] <sam-_-> dffd, see if you really have 7.10
[00:11] <X14U2NVX> minimec: yes it shows my router
[00:11] <edbian> X14U2NVX: What caused it to stop working?
[00:11] <X14U2NVX> edbian: not sure lemme restart it.
[00:12] <goddard> I have been trying to setup an email server with some luck but an something that is out of most tutorials it seems is one vital aspect and that is how to setup the domain.  Can anyone enlighten me?
[00:12] <wasser> hi people i installed ubuntu 10.10 and when i use apt-get install XXXXXX, my terminal doesnt autocomplete XXXXX with applications by pressing tab. any ideas?
[00:12] <minimec> X14U2NVX: so you see the ssid of the router, but you are not connected. So you have no ip for wlan1 when doing 'ifconfig'
[00:12] <edbian> X14U2NVX: sure
[00:13] <X14U2NVX> edbian: ok restarted it, now it shows stuff
[00:13] <dffd> cd in the drive is 8.10. is there a way to check the installed version because im running from the cd
[00:13] <sam-_-> wasser, are you using konsole and kubuntu by chance?
[00:13] <ethernet> hello
[00:13] <edbian> X14U2NVX: does sudo iwlist scan now show stuff?
[00:13] <X14U2NVX> minimec: that is correct
[00:13] <wasser> sam-_-, no, im using the terminal
[00:13] <bholzinger> I'm having serious display issues with my load. Using Kernel 2.6.31-14 - generic, help! Alternatively: how can I remove ubuntu (single load, no win partitions) and replace it with 10.10? is there a command in Gnome that says "hey, reboot the hard drive from the cd mounted."???
[00:13] <dw-> dffd: goto a prompt and do cat /etc/*rele*
[00:13] <ethernet> what is the most win office compatible software for  ubuntu without WINE ( native nix ) ?
 what is the grub it mentions and how do i find it?
[00:13] <X14U2NVX> edbian: yes it now does
[00:14] <minimec> X14U2NVX: Did you ever have a connection with this configuration? Did you change encryption key or mode?
[00:14] <dffd> that also says 8.10
[00:14] <sam-_-> dffd, what dw- said but in the root directory of your install
[00:14] <KM0201> ethernet: open office?
[00:14] <X14U2NVX> minimec: I have never been able to connect, and the encryption key has not changed
[00:14] <edbian> X14U2NVX: The card and the driver are working.  Now we have to figure out why you cannot connect to an Access Point
[00:14] <sam-_-> dffd, you have to mount your install first
[00:14] <dw-> oh i wasnt apying attention
[00:14] <edbian> X14U2NVX: try to connect and monitor the changes in dmesg to get info
[00:14] <ethernet> KM0201: i cannot work with it give me some table errors, it can be payable ....
[00:14] <X14U2NVX> :edbian actually it shows alot of unknowns... i'll get it in pastepin.
[00:15] <ethernet> payware
[00:15] <sam-_-> wasser, is it working in say xterm or a tty?
[00:15] <dw-> i like the GParted disk it mounts things easy
[00:15] <edbian> X14U2NVX: ok?  What do you mean by unknowns
[00:15] <KM0201> ethernet: whats the file extension?
[00:15] <X14U2NVX> edbian: http://pastebin.com/kdLPhBim
[00:15] <ethernet> xls
[00:15] <minimec> X14U2NVX: Could you try to establish a connection once without any encryption, just to be sure that a connection is possible? What encryption do you intend to use?
[00:15] <edbian> X14U2NVX: reading
[00:15] <castlealex> Hello good night I have a question how can I decompress a zlib file?
[00:16] <KM0201> ethernet: strange, i've had very good luck w/ open office and tables, graphs, etc.
[00:16] <ethernet> i have huge xls files
[00:16] <dw-> castlealex: you mean a gzip
[00:16] <X14U2NVX> minimec: I am unable to connect to my wireless (which is WEP HEX) or my neighbor's (which isn't encrypted)
[00:16] <dffd> it says 8.10 when i use the cat /etc/*rele* command from the root folder. what must i mount the cd for
[00:16] <bengarrr> elo
[00:16] <ethernet> including about 300 rows
[00:16] <castlealex> hello
[00:16] <wasser> sam-_-, i have just logged into tty1 and tried it and works just fine (my ubuntu installation is relatively fresh. Installed yesterday)
[00:16] <ethernet> with formulas and some of them don t work on Ooffice
[00:16] <bengarrr> anyone know how to use mono
[00:16] <dw-> dffd: if you are running the cd that will be the root of the cd.. so you have to mount the drive to like /mnt/mydrive then do cat /mnt/mydrive/etc/*rele* :)
[00:17] <philsf> hi, I'm using ubuntu-netbook and unity collects my recently used files, but not recently used applications. Where should I look to find out why? All zeitgeist related packages seem to be installed.
[00:17] <Alexarm> thieven` :  what is the grub it mentions and how do i find it?
[00:17] <edbian> X14U2NVX: Don't worry about that.  My iwlist scan has the exact same sort of stuff and it works and they are almost identical cards, I have a 4306
[00:17] <fluvvell> ethernet:300 is not huge, ooffice.org has near on the highest level of compatibility with ms office
[00:17] <minimec> X14U2NVX: When using WEP HEX, you might have to use a Hex Converter and enter the passphrase in HEX... http://www.swingnote.com/tools/texttohex.php
[00:17] <castlealex> dw- : yes maybe it is a gzip
[00:17] <edbian> X14U2NVX: It should work. Try to connect and watch dmesg again
[00:17] <fluvvell> ethernet, but there are things it does not do
[00:17] <dw-> castlealex: tar.gz ?
[00:17] <X14U2NVX> minimec: I will try this
[00:18] <sam-_-> wasser, log in as another user and try terminal then
[00:18] <X14U2NVX> edbian: I am doing this
[00:18] <sergiorauber> Hi good, can anyone help me cofigure mi microphone jack?
[00:18] <edbian> X14U2NVX: ok.  Lemme know how that goes.  Feel free to pastebin whatever you want.  It's very helpful
[00:18] <sam-_-> dffd, you have to mount the root fs of your installed system
[00:18] <castlealex> dw- : the only thing I know is that it is compressed in zlib format but it's not a tar.gz
[00:18] <minimec> X14U2NVX: I have to do so with an old Siemens wifi dongle with a atmel driver.
[00:18] <sam-_-> dffd, there go to the etc folder
[00:18] <dw-> castlealex: just try right click -> Archive in Nautilus ?
[00:19] <X14U2NVX> edbian: http://pastebin.com/ykBtg4hJ
[00:19] <acicula_> castlealex: what does file <filename> say
[00:19] <sam-_-> dffd, there should be a file in there called lsb-release
[00:19] <X14U2NVX> minimec: this hex-converter says its already in hex
[00:19] <wasser> sam-_-, just did it. works fine in other account
[00:20] <X14U2NVX> minimec: which seems about right, it is all hex
[00:20] <castlealex> dw- : Excuse me but i'm nex to linux Nautilus is something I must install via synaptic? acicula_ : Zeuss
[00:20] <skilz> Hi, anyone know if it's possible to get the Nvidia physx screen saver for Ubuntu?
[00:20] <sam-_-> wasser, well then delete the config files of terminal and try again
[00:20] <edbian> X14U2NVX: what is new in this file.  i.e. what came after you tried to connect to a network?
[00:20] <mOHawk> im using lucid linux 10.04 and plugged in usb iphone but iphone doesn't show up under places as a device what's up with that?
[00:20] <dffd> sorry im new. is this right
[00:20] <dw-> castlealex: nautilus is the standard ubuntu file explorer
[00:20] <dffd> ubuntu@ubuntu:/root$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/ mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[00:20] <dw-> castlealex: jsut click Places -> Home Folder and youre in nautilus
[00:20] <acicula_> mOHawk: its apple
[00:20] <dragonnutds> using the windows installer, can i give ubuntu more room on the hardrive at a later after the installtion
[00:20] <X14U2NVX> edbian: i'm not sure I just tried reconnecting and did that
[00:20] <mattgyver> Can apt be configured to update a specific package when another package has an update (like force apt to think the package is a dependency)?
[00:20] <X14U2NVX> edbian: I can try to reconnect and copy again
[00:21] <edbian> X14U2NVX: yeah do that.
[00:21] <acicula_> !iphone
[00:21] <X14U2NVX> edbian: on it
[00:21] <mOHawk> yeah but isnt it suppose to reconigize device?
[00:21] <edbian> X14U2NVX: It might not be logging anything
[00:21] <theTrav> I'm going to be doing some work on a private ubuntu cloud soon.  I've got some machines on order, but they may take a week or two to get here...  Is there a way for me to "fake" a cloud, by emulation or something while I'm waiting?
[00:21] <mOHawk> oh wait
[00:21] <minimec> X14U2NVX: I would still try a connection without encryption, first. Maybe your neigbours wifi is in critical range.
[00:21] <sam-_-> dffd, no you want to mount a harddisk
[00:21] <wasser> sam-_-, you mean bashrc?
[00:21] <ldz4201> sam-_-: but it appears that in the netbook edition gnome-panel doesn't execute on start-up might be another panel application that unity uses that I might need to restart.. I will check but thanks
[00:21] <sam-_-> wasser, no
[00:21] <castlealex> dw- : ok I tried that already I misunderstood it says it cannt it shows me a red sign
[00:21] <bholzinger> want to boot my 10.10 from my 9.10, bash/xterm cmd to do so?
[00:21] <acicula_> mOHawk: does it work yes, see link, but not in the way every other device works ;)
[00:21] <Alexarm> does anybody know ow to fix the microphone on ubuntu 10.04?
[00:21] <TomCX> sudo apt-get build-dep
[00:22] <TomCX> what is sudo mean?
[00:22] <X14U2NVX> edbian: http://pastebin.com/5mWQTb5q
[00:22] <dffd> ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ dir autorun.inf  dists    isolinux	  pics	preseed		    ubuntu     wubi.exe casper	     install  md5sum.txt  pool	README.diskdefines  umenu.exe
[00:22] <timbojimbo31488> TomCX, super user do
[00:22] <bastidrazor> ubottu: tell TomCX about sudo
[00:22] <sam-_-> ldz4201, oh u use the netbook edition. then my advice sure is wrong
[00:22] <dragonnutds> windows instaltion question, after installing, can i grant ubuntu more space on the hardrive later?
[00:22] <dw-> castlealex: maybe you didnt download the whole archive.. what are you doing ? :)
[00:22] <X14U2NVX> minimec: actually I did remove it earlier, but to no success, so I put it back on because the rest of the computers in the household already use it
[00:23] <TomCX> what did it do?
[00:23] <acicula_> dragonnutds: typically no
[00:23] <TomCX> on all sudo apt-get build-dep
[00:23] <skilz> Super user do
[00:23] <dffd> did we correctly establish the version of installed ubuntu yet. and would i be able to download the latest and reinstall desktop while retaining everything from my old install
[00:23] <TomCX> on all sudo apt-get build-dep game
[00:23] <bastidrazor> dffd: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l .. then i'll tell you how to mount your harddrive.. you're looking for an /dev/sda1   if its there use: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media   then the drive will be available on the desktop for you to click
[00:23] <bholzinger> want to boot my 10.10 from my 9.10, bash/xterm cmd to do so?
[00:23] <dragonnutds> dang it.... thanks anyhow acicula
[00:23] <n-iCe> is this the kernel path? /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic
[00:24] <sam-_-> wasser, i think everything is in ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal
[00:24] <edbian> X14U2NVX: see what's happening?  You can see it starting at 3111, it associates, prints a bunch of stuff, doesn't get a probe response after 500 ms and tries to re-associate and fails (timeout) everytime
[00:24] <castlealex> dw- : yes the archive is all download
[00:24] <edbian> X14U2NVX: Now I need to know why it's getting no probe response after 500 ms
[00:24] <con-man> whats that command I have to execute to play DVDs? someone gave it to me a while back.
[00:24] <con-man> I know Im being vague
[00:24] <con-man> but its all I have
[00:24] <X14U2NVX> edbian: Yes I see it, but i'm not sure why
[00:24] <castlealex> dw- : I just want to extract a zlib file is there any way to do it?
[00:24] <TomCX> build-dep = build all dependency of 'game'
[00:25] <TomCX> ?
[00:25] <dffd> bastidrazor:  http://pastebin.com/Fw7ninmK
[00:25] <X14U2NVX> edbian: i have no idea... is there any way to find out?
[00:25] <sam-_-> wasser, so rm -r  ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal  should do the trick
[00:25] <con-man> !dvd
[00:25] <dw-> castlealex: zlib is a library
[00:25] <quizme> how do u get the 2nd column from a pipe stream ?
[00:25] <edbian> X14U2NVX: I think it's something wrong with the router, not the driver or the card.
[00:25] <minimec> X14U2NVX: Arethere some forum threads about your hardware on the net? What kind of wifi device is that?
[00:25] <amlodipine> can not view "about ubuntu" on v10.10 system > "about ubuntu" - initially says in bottom bar : starting "about ubuntu" but it never shows up - any ideas or input peeps?
[00:25] <dw-> castlealex: not a compression format
[00:25] <acicula_> dragonnutds: actually im wrong, it is possible even if not using lvm, id still just allocate whatever it is you need
[00:25] <edbian> minimec: it's a 4312 I blieve
[00:25] <bholzinger> can my chat be seen?
[00:25] <edbian> bholzinger: yes
[00:25] <acicula_> !resize | dragonnutds
[00:25] <X14U2NVX> minimec: there are forum threads, but none pertain to this problem, i've tried many of them
[00:25] <dw-> castlealex: what are you trying to install / do ?
[00:26] <bastidrazor> dffd: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media    this should mount the partition and it will be available on the desktop
[00:26] <castlealex> dw- but it is also a compression format i checked on their website
[00:26] <juken> Anyone think they can help me debug what is wrong with my openssl client? getting this on my machine http://paste.ubuntu.com/553024/  but getting this from another machine http://paste.ubuntu.com/553025/
[00:26] <acicula_> !partitioning
[00:26] <wasser> sam-_-, do i have to logout then login again?
[00:26] <n-iCe> is this the kernel path? /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic
[00:26] <dw-> castlealex: :/
[00:26] <namnatulco> guys, I think the update manager might be the cause of some freezing/slowness. My whole X tty just froze, so I switched to another tty to install updates, when I checked back the update manager had launched, after closing this everything seems to work fine again. How do I go about reporting this? I run a fresh copy of 10.10 x86, on a netbook (ie. atom)
[00:26] <X14U2NVX> edbian: the router works with all my other machines, but they are all running windows, plus it is working with this while it is plugged in
[00:26] <con-man> I have libdvdread and libdvdnav installed but my DVDs wont play. what step am I missing?
[00:26] <castlealex> dw- wait
[00:26] <songer> hello im on this laptop with flashdrive and i want to know the patch for the hard drive
[00:26] <sam-_-> wasser, possible. don't know. gconf is quirky
[00:26] <dw-> castlealex: its a comperssion library
[00:26] <TomCX> thanks
[00:26] <dw-> castlealex: for like... web servers
[00:26] <con-man> nevermind got it
[00:26] <con-man> " sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"
[00:26] <dragonnutds> acicula_, thanks, the problem is that i have limeted hard drive space right now, so i wanted to know if i could go back and grant myself more room when and if i need it by deleting stuff on windows
[00:26] <sam-_-> wasser, doesn't hurt anyway
[00:27] <mim> I am trying to open my home folder but I get the following message:   Could not create the archive
[00:27] <mim> Archive type not supported.
[00:27] <wasser> sam-_-, hmmm... right now my autocomplete doesn't work at all when using sudo in front of things
[00:27] <castlealex> dw- yes its a compression library how can we extract whats inside when it is compressed?
[00:27] <X14U2NVX> edbian: plus, it doesn't seem to work on my neighbor's wifi, or my school wifi
[00:27] <sam-_-> wasser, so not even in a tty?
[00:27] <songer> help how can i see whats the path of the hard drive on this laptop
[00:27] <KM0201> X14U2NVX: well are you seeing networks?
[00:27] <edbian> X14U2NVX: Are you using an encrypted network?
[00:27] <dw-> castlealex: things usually come in .tar.gz or .bz2
[00:27] <bholzinger> concerned... Serious issues with my kernel
[00:27] <sergiorauber> con-man I'm in Brazil and to play DVD for my region I neede to install libdvdread4 and install css
[00:27] <TomCX> can i use apt-fast on ubuntu lucid?
[00:27] <X14U2NVX> edbian: atm, yes, but earlier I got rid of it and it didn't fix
[00:28] <dw-> castlealex: ive never heard of zlib compressed files but who knows
[00:28] <X14U2NVX> km0201: yes, I can see them but not connect to them
[00:28] <KM0201> hmm
[00:28] <bastidrazor> songer: type mount   :that will show you what is mounted where
[00:28] <wasser> sam-_-, im going to logout from gnome and try again, cause in a tty it works...
[00:28] <edbian> X14U2NVX: According to this http://www.mail-archive.com/bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de/msg09481.html  it is a bug only on unencrypted networks
[00:28] <sam-_-> castlealex, use archive manager. it should be just a normal zip file
[00:29] <castlealex> dw- if i rename the file to .tar.gz says the following : gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[00:29] <sam-_-> castlealex, compressed with zlib
[00:29] <dw-> castlealex: try .zip
[00:29] <edbian> X14U2NVX: It's common for some reason: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&q=No+probe+response+from+AP+after+500ms%2C+disconnecting.&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=4bf22d7149b8df72
[00:29] <songer> bastidrazor ok
[00:29] <nitalia> nfxhvjhjhjhcjvhjvhjh
[00:29] <X14U2NVX> edbian: I see...
[00:30] <nitalia> i see
[00:30] <castlealex> dw- not a zip file either
[00:30] <edbian> X14U2NVX: yeah?
[00:30] <edbian> X14U2NVX: IDK :/
[00:30] <dw-> castlealex: its evil.. just delete it.. :p
[00:30] <nitalia> yo wassup
[00:30] <wasser> sam-_-, ok. situation right now: i logged out, logged in again and my autocomplete doesn't work at all with sudo stuff and apt-get doesn't autocomplete programs
[00:30] <castlealex> dw- when I renamed to .bz2 there was another file with the same name Zeuss
[00:31] <X14U2NVX> edbian:okay thanks for your time
[00:31] <nitalia> heyy
[00:31] <songer> bastidrazor,  this is what i get: /bin/mount
[00:31] <X14U2NVX> edbian:I'll surf around on the web now that I know what the problem is and see if i can find some stuff
[00:31] <sam-_-> wasser, don't know an easy way then. delete all the configs and start over again :-)
[00:31] <X14U2NVX> edbian: to fix it
[00:31] <nitalia> r these fake people?
[00:31] <NUBUNTU> hello
[00:31] <edbian> X14U2NVX: Good luck.  I think it's a bug in the driver after seeing.
[00:31] <nitalia> heyy
[00:31] <TomCX> hi to u too
[00:32] <bastidrazor> songer: what and where did you type?
[00:32] <NUBUNTU> can some1 explain to me why xarchiver is good for nothing
[00:32] <pac-man> ciao a tutti
[00:32] <wasser> sam-_-, ok gonna try . thanks anyway ;)
[00:32] <skutr3> i need help
[00:32] <skutr3> No root file system is defined.  Please correct this from the partitioning menu.
[00:32] <NUBUNTU> it never works
[00:32] <invitado> sabri_caro@hotmail.com
[00:32] <skutr3> this is what i get when trying to install
[00:32] <pac-man> chi mi passa un canale italiano?
[00:32] <skutr3> No root file system is defined.  Please correct this from the partitioning menu.
[00:32] <bastidrazor> skutr3: you need to give / a partition during the partion section of the install
[00:32] <songer> type mount in terminal bastidrazor
[00:32] <KM0201> skutr3: so make a root partition
[00:32] <sam-_-> NUBUNTU, easy solution. don't use it
[00:32] <skutr3> how
[00:32] <dffd>  sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media "disk" could not be found
[00:33] <bastidrazor> songer: /bin/mount doesn't make any sense for a response to that command.
[00:33] <skutr3> bastidrazor: how?
[00:33] <dffd> perhaps it has recently been deleted
[00:33] <KM0201> skutr3: are you using the advanced partition tool, or what?.. what partitions have you set?
[00:33] <NUBUNTU> do you suggest another thing to use to replace it because it doesn't help with downloading anything
[00:33] <skilz> how does one get bootspace to work?
[00:33] <dffd> whats with that, i dont recall using any delete commands
[00:33] <dffd> what is this command supposed to do sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media
[00:34] <Serialk> in a bash script how can i save serie of pictures like this : pic-0001.jpg pic-0002.jpg  etc etc ?
[00:34] <skilz> sorry bootsplash
[00:34] <dw-> dffd: google how to mount on linux ?
[00:34] <skutr3> KM0201: i have win7 installed and i am trying to create a partition at the partition part of install
[00:34] <skilz> How do I get bootsplash to work?
[00:34] <songer> bastidrazor i'm in ubuntu with a flashdrive
[00:34] <dw-> dffd: man mount or mount --help
[00:34] <dffd> i still dont see why i was given that command
[00:34] <bastidrazor> songer: is the harddrive you're wanting to look at mounted?
[00:34] <skutr3> KM0201: you there?
[00:35] <KM0201> skutr3: answer your PM...
[00:35] <merma> hi im having problems reverting to single screen on my gnome box. In the nvidia X server settings I can't change the Separate X Screen to disabled or twinview since those checkboxes are disabled. Any idea :/
[00:35] <dw-> dffd: when you boot off the cd you have to load the drive with your files
[00:35] <dffd> did i just lose any files from typing that command. \
[00:35] <dw-> dffd: mount it to a folder
[00:35] <dw-> dffd: no mount is not destructive
[00:35] <MrUnagi> so i can cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "password for root" > ~/file.txt to get any line that contains "password for root".........but is it possible to append file.txt with any additions since the last time?
[00:35] <bastidrazor> dffd: if you're on 7.10 it is more than end of life.. also 8.10 is end of life. use 8.04 LTS or 10.04 since 9.10 is shortly going to be outdated.
[00:35] <sam-_-> NUBUNTU, how about file-roller?
[00:35] <edbian> MrUnagi: yep, use a >>
[00:35] <bastidrazor> dffd: you should make a backup of the things you want to save and do a fresh install.
[00:35] <songer> yes bastidrazor
[00:35] <edbian> MrUnagi: instead of a single one
[00:36] <dffd> will my files return if i reboot
[00:36] <MrUnagi> edbian: ah thanks
[00:36] <NUBUNTU> do i install that from the package manager?
[00:36] <amlodipine> unable to view "ABOUT UBUNTU" on v10.10 ------ system > "about ubuntu" - initially says at bottom bar : starting "about ubuntu" but it never shows up
[00:36] <songer> the harddrive of this laptop i want to know the path
[00:36] <bastidrazor> songer: when you type: mount  :it should list everything that is mounted.
[00:36] <dw-> dffd: if you remove the cd and boot off the drive............
[00:36] <edbian> amlodipine: who cares?
[00:36] <skilz> IM SICK OF GETTING PACKAGE DEPENDENCIES CANNOT BE RESOLVED ERROR WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL SOMETHING COOL
[00:36] <hi5> dffd a mount dont delete anything :-)
[00:36] <skilz> UBUNTU IS FAIL
[00:37] <sam-_-> NUBUNTU, sudo apt-get install file-roller
[00:37] <amlodipine> edbian - well i'd like to know why and what might be causing it -
[00:37] <kwtm> Hi. Am connected via an old Live CD. I want to run GParted and make sure it and all its depencies are up to date, but not update any other packages (since it's just a LiveCD). How do I do this?
[00:37] <skilz> EPIC FAIL
[00:37] <hi5> for 10.10 skilz?
[00:37] <NUBUNTU> thanks boss
[00:37] <skilz> yes
[00:37] <sam-_-> skilz, like what?
[00:37] <skilz> umm
[00:37] <dffd> im just making sure he gave me a correct command. i can not see my files at all now is that normal
[00:37] <skilz> heaps of things
[00:37] <sam-_-> skilz, like?
[00:37] <skilz> right now its usplash
[00:37] <sam-_-> skilz, why would you want it?
[00:37] <edbian> amlodipine: Try to figure out what command will launch it from the terminal.  Launch it from the terminal, look for errors
[00:38] <dffd> i typed sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media and now i get "disk" could not be found
[00:38] <skilz> then after something installs or fails I get that stupid error Items cannot be installed or removed untill the package catalog is repaired. Do you wantr to repair it now? I click repair and guess what? FAIL it keeps popping up....
[00:38] <kwtm> dffd: Did you literally say "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media"?
[00:39] <kwtm> dffd: That replaces the entire "media" directory with what's on /dev/sda6.  But there are usually other directories under /media as well.
[00:39] <dffd> yes so does that mean all the files are not in a /media folder somewhere
[00:39] <skilz> I have to keep pressing cancel
[00:39] <dffd> not=now*
[00:39] <kwtm> dffd: You may have meant "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/sda6"
[00:39] <hi5> skilz: i answered you in private
[00:39] <thieven`> dffd, kwtm it's best to make anew dir in that /media folder.
[00:39] <thieven`> dffd sudo mkdir /media/something    then do as kwtm said. (this helps avoid confusion)
[00:39] <kwtm> dffd: So if you had another disk like an external drive hooked up that showed up under /media/disk, now "/media/disk" is gone.
[00:40] <thieven`> then to edit what kwtm said, do sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/something
[00:40] <wasser> sam-_-, I solved my problem from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=734023 (just for you to get closure) purge bash_completion, reinstall, add code to .bashrc
[00:40] <merma> hi im having problems reverting to single screen on my gnome box. In the nvidia X server settings I can't change the Separate X Screen to disabled or twinview since those checkboxes are disabled. Any idea :/
[00:40] <dffd> will it return after a reboot though
[00:40] <amlodipine> edbian - i don't know what to type or even what to look for / i just found only one thread on the ubuntu forum by chance and it didn't have a solution. http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1026028 > but in that care some about screen showed up . mine doesn't show up at all ( i can however view the "about gnome" info box and system > admin > system monitor info) but there has to be a reason for that "about ubuntu" 
[00:40] <hi5> can someone tell me what is the main characteristic of lubuntu - opposed to standard one
[00:40] <kwtm> dffd: Yes, do as thieven` said first: "sudo mkdir /media/sda6" and then "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/sda6".  But before that, this time, first "sudo umount /dev/sda6" so it's unmounted.  (Note the command is umount, NOT unmound)
[00:41] <kwtm> dffd: Oops, I mean not unmount or unmound, but umount.
[00:41] <sam-_-> wasser, never considered that because you said it worked on a tty
[00:41] <Scunizi> AAarrrgggg... Why does OOo take so long to respond to "Save As" directory choices?  Any solution?
[00:41] <dffd> i cant find this media folder at all
[00:41] <minimec> skilz: open a console type sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -f install
[00:41] <wasser> sam-_-, because it works, maybe the lines in bashrc changed something?
[00:41] <kwtm> thieven`: Hey, you look like you know something ... how can I upgrade a given package and its dependencies, but not any other packages? Will just "sudo apt-get install PackageName" do it?
[00:42] <thieven`> Scunizi, i think it first tries to go to the last place you saved soemthing. (or where that file was opened from.) maybe that place it is going is a network share or soemthing?
[00:42] <dw-> Scunizi: because you have a folder with 2000 subfolders? :)
[00:42] <amlodipine> i've been googling for a bit on "about ubuntu" not displaying or missing but nothing relevant is coming... hence why i came here to ask some of y'all.
[00:42] <NUBUNTU> u there
[00:42] <NUBUNTU> sam -_-
[00:42] <LA9KSA> Tried to install Ubuntu on macbook... Found out I DL'd 10.04, not 1010 after formatting the right disk (fairly sure it was the right) and went for a reboot to get back on OS X and DL and burn the right image... When it was about to shut down, it said to take out the disk and press enter... I did; and now the whole puter has frozen up! Can't even use the i/o to kill it.. What do?
[00:42] <sam-_-> hi5, opposed to normal ubuntu?
[00:42] <Scunizi> dw-: nope..
[00:42] <dffd> ah, thank you
[00:42] <sam-_-> NUBUNTU, y
[00:42] <Scunizi> thieven`: it was opened on a share but I wanted to switch to a local directory
[00:42] <minimec> skilz: if apt-get -f install is not working, try apt-get -f remove
[00:43] <NUBUNTU> sam-_-, sorry that im an idiot but under which folder is file-roller
[00:43] <sam-_-> NUBUNTU, so you installed it?
[00:43] <NUBUNTU> yeah
[00:43] <DaGeek247-PDA> kwtm: sudo apt-get update packag-name should do it.
[00:43] <kwtm> DaGeek247-PDA: Thanks. Will try.
[00:44] <sam-_-> NUBUNTU, you can start it with the command file-roller
[00:44] <thieven`> kwtm i'm not as smart as i appear. hah.     apt-get install package-name : install is followed by one or more packages desired for installation. If package is already installed it will try to update to latest version.
[00:44] <sam-_-> NUBUNTU, should be your default application for compressed files
[00:44] <thieven`> Scunizi, if you wait till it loads that share, then you can change directories and install it where ever you want right?   make srue it can see that share.  use nautilus to make sure you are connected to it, and then see if ooo hehaves.
[00:45] <kwtm> LA9KSA: You may have corrupted the boot-loading mechanism. If you were installing (whether 10.04 or whatever), part of the installation will load a bootloader, GRUB, so you can dual-boot. At the end of that, you're supposed to remove the CD so the computer will boot from hard disk (not CD) and start the bootloader.
[00:45] <NUBUNTU> ight
[00:45] <kwtm> LA9KSA: If installation was not properly done, then the GRUB (bootloader) may not have been installed, so rebooting resulted in an error.
[00:46] <X14U2NVX> edbian: Are you there?
[00:46] <kwtm> LA9KSA: I think the easiest way is to go ahead and install *some* Ubuntu --hopefully 10.10, but if all you have on CD is 10.04, then install that --let the process complete, and it will install GRUB.  Then you can reboot computer and have it let you choose MacOS or MacBuntu.
[00:46] <Scunizi> thieven`: It's a small spreadsheet I opened off a share directly from my NAS.  Then "Save As" (took forever).. click /home folder (wait forever)... click directory choice (wiat forever) etc ..
[00:46] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, i think he went to sleep
[00:47] <X14U2NVX> yeah he's not on the list anymore, I should have just checked that
[00:47] <kwtm> LA9KSA: As a consolation, after you have installed 10.04 (if you can't burn the 10.10 CD with another computer), you should be able to upgrade it to 10.10 without needing a CD installation.
[00:47] <X14U2NVX> ok
[00:47] <thieven`> Scunizi, that is odd. i know what you mean. after you click on your home folder, things should be snappy again as it is not trying to see the NAS at that point.
[00:47] <kwtm> LA9KSA: Not sure if that helps.  Does anyone disagree or have a better solution?
[00:47] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: i found the solution but I'm a newb at ubuntu and terminal, can you explain to me how to perform this step?
[00:47] <thieven`> kwtm was that a good answer?  i pretend to be smart sometimes. :)
[00:47] <Scunizi> thieven`: yea.. one of the several niggley quirks I have with OOo
[00:47] <skilz> minimec, http://pastebin.com/bZ5z4WRf
[00:48] <LA9KSA> kwtm: I noticed I burnt the wrong release before installing so I was going back into OS X (without installing, just formatting to EXT4) when the error occured... Formation was done by deleting the BOOTCAMP-partition and making a new one from the unlocated space
[00:48] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, which step?
[00:48] <kwtm> thieven`: That was a good answer, yes. DaGeek gave another answer which seemed useful but was unfortunately wrong. :P  Oh, well.
[00:48] <thieven`> hahah
[00:48] <thieven`> yaaaay. i win!
[00:48] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf echo "options b43 pio=1 qos=0" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf
[00:48] <LA9KSA> Bottom line, I can't turn of the macbook and I need it working before school in a few hoours... >.<
[00:48] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: that would be what needs to be done to a b43, but i have a b4312
[00:48] <LA9KSA> MacBook 7.1, built-in battery
[00:49] <thieven`> isteve will not let you remove the battery.   hahah. (sorry, that's just too funny.)
[00:49] <LA9KSA> Funneh... STill f'd
[00:49] <thieven`> LA9KSA, can you boot to a ubuntu live cd / usb key?
[00:49] <DaGeek247> kwtm: whoops.
[00:50] <ubutom> LA9KSA, try pressing the power button a few seconds
[00:50] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, it's correct for your device as well. the driver is just called b43 it can access all b43xx devices
[00:50] <kwtm> LA9KSA: I'm not familiar with MacBook so you may need to explain. You said you realized the error "before installing", but you HAD already made changes to your hard disk, right?  You said that you deleted the "bootcamp partition". What did this partition do before?  It sounds like it was a boot loader (did it come with the Mac?) and was not something you should have deleted.
[00:50] <LA9KSA> ubutom: As I stated in my first line, can't use i/o button to kill it
[00:50] <kwtm> DaGeek247: Oh, you're back.  I thought you had left, so I didn't talk to you. :(  sorry
[00:50] <skilz> LA9KSA, rip the battory out
[00:50] <Strife89> Hello, all. I have an HP Compaq TC4200, running Maverick. It works pretty well, but when I try to rotate the screen, the touchscreen's output does not follow. Any simple fixes out there?
[00:50] <sam-_-> LA9KSA, press it for 10sec
[00:51] <LA9KSA> kwtm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation
 LA9KSA, rip the battory out        steve jobs says you may not remove the battery on that laptop. it's built in. hah.
[00:51] <ubutom> LA9KSA, what sam-_- said
[00:51]  * Strife89 has been googling some things to no avail
[00:51] <Jimmy> hey all
[00:51] <minimec> skilz: Looks like you are mixing some ubuntu distributions or have a incomplete repository.
[00:51] <LA9KSA> sam-_-: tried that to.. could try again
[00:51] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-:thanks, I apologize, I failed at copy-pasting :(
[00:51] <skilz> thieven`, Steve Jobs is full of shit
[00:51] <thieven`> haha.
[00:51] <sphinxxx> anyone know CDMA workshop here?
[00:51] <kwtm> LA9KSA: Apologies, I didn't realize your problem was that you couldn't turn off the MacBook... so you are not able to trigger a reboot, not that you have a problem during the rebooting process, then.
[00:51] <LA9KSA> The eff...?
[00:51] <Jimmy> question, im trying to create a usb bootdisk from mac osx - I followed the instructions on the download page but it did not work
[00:52] <LA9KSA> Now it worked...
[00:52] <skilz> minimec, How may I fix my incomplete repository?
[00:52] <LA9KSA> Pressing i/o that is...
[00:52] <Danny78_> happy to report I downloaded xfce and things aren't slowing down as much as with Gnome (which was itself much better than KDE)
[00:52] <skilz> minimec, Or check if I mixed some ubuntu distros
[00:52] <kwtm> Out of curiosity, why do a lot of people have alphaALLCAPSnumeric nicknames? Are these ham radio callsigns?
[00:52] <LA9KSA> Tried to press it for a minute or so some time after it hung up on me
[00:52] <Lxndr> I am attempting to RDP into my work computer (windows xp professional) from my home computer (ubuntu 10.10). I have discovered the Remote Desktop Viewer - but unfortunately, it does not seem to be working very well with the instructions and data I was given by my workplace. Does anyone know know enough about this to be able to walk me through?
[00:52] <KM0201> Danny78_: wait till you try lxde... it smokes xfce4, IMO.
[00:52] <thieven`> kwtm it's like their name is yelling at you.
[00:53] <LA9KSA> kwtm: Mine is... I usually lurk ham channels in freenode hence I use my callsign
[00:53] <kwtm> thieven`: I should change my nick to STOP_YELLING_AT_MY_NICK
[00:53] <Danny78_> KM0201:  I hadn't heard of it til now... hmmm  now you got me wonderin
[00:53] <thieven`> haha
[00:53] <skilz> LA9KSA, ctrl + alt + del, fn + power button
[00:53] <LA9KSA> skilz: read up ^
[00:53] <Strife89> kwtm: /nick rm_-r_.
[00:53] <thieven`> maybe they got real angry when they typed /nick ....
[00:53] <sam-_-> KM0201, there is always a lighter version, isn't there?
[00:53] <KM0201> Danny78_: its really nice... it's what xfce "used" to be.. xubuntu, while nice.. suffers a lot of bloat.. lxde is slick.
[00:53] <KM0201> sam-_-: lol, probably...
[00:54] <kwtm> skilz: Oh, do the MacBooks have Ctrl Alt Del now?  I thought it was Command -White Apple - Black Apple - Key with Steve Jobs' Face On It etc.
[00:54] <Scunizi> kwtm: if you google it like LA9KSA you'll find he's a ham radio operator from norwayand that's his call.. as for the others .. No idea
[00:54] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: This step has fixed one problem, but has generated another, do you think you could help?
[00:54] <minimec> skilz: If you want to create a new sources.list, check out that... http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[00:54] <skilz> LA9KSA, Try this, Command + Control + Power... That should restart it.
[00:54] <KM0201> sam-_-: but IMO.. Lubuntu is a great medium between "useable" and "light"... you start getting into enlight, and flux, and openbox.. while super light, they aren't nearly as user friendly
[00:54] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, i can try

[00:55] <Strife89> Planning to put Ubuntu PPC on it, but it has only 128 MB of RAM installed.
[00:55] <KM0201> Danny78_: you outta take a look at 'Lubuntu', if "light" is what you're looking for.
[00:55] <skilz> kwtm, Been a while since my MacBook was stollen so I'm a little rusty...
[00:55] <KM0201> !ppc | Strife89
[00:55] <LA9KSA> Scunizi: Correctomundo

[00:56] <skilz> LA9KSA, Did that key combo work?
[00:56] <Danny78_> KM0201:  I'll do that.  I do have 2 GB of 266 DDR RAM on the way and I think that will be a massive improvement
[00:56] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, wrong password maybe?
[00:56] <LA9KSA> skilz: Didn't try it as _power_button_alone_suddely_worked_
[00:57] <KM0201> Strife89: 128mb is not near enough ram.... i would probably look at aptonsid (i think it has a PPC version)
[00:57] <kwtm> Alright, everyone, wish me luck! My laptop is now at the mercy of GParted ... may God have mercy on my soul ...
[00:57] <bencahill> Danny78_: what currently?
[00:57] <gaurang> why ubuntu doesn't hibernates well in dell laptops
[00:57] <KM0201> Danny78_: 2gigs of ram is quite a bit, even at 266mhz.... but  Lubuntu is awesome
[00:57] <Strife89> KM0201: Not familiar with that, unfortunately. I'm a Linux noob in general.
[00:57] <skilz> minimec, should I tick everything sources too?
[00:57] <Danny78_> bencahill:  512 MB
[00:57] <KM0201> Strife89: hold on
[00:57] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-:i don't think so but let me double check
[00:58] <kwtm> LA9KSA: Do I understand you correctly? Your problem is solved?
[00:58] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, also there could be a mac address filter on the router
[00:58] <LA9KSA> kwtm: that would ne a positive, yes
[00:58] <kwtm> gaurang: What problem are you having with hibernate?  I haven't been having problems with my "Dellbuntu" (bought about 4 years ago...)
[00:58] <KM0201> Danny78_: i thought you said it had 2gigs
[00:59] <kwtm> LA9KSA: Congrats! Have you achieved booting up MacOS or have you encountered another problem?
[00:59] <Danny78_> KM0201:  it has 512 MB but 2 GB on the way from ebay
[00:59] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: it appears the password is correct, but how could I disable a mac address filter?
[00:59] <KM0201> Danny78_: oh ok... well that 2gigs, it'll run great w/ gnome i'd bet
[00:59] <gaurang> kwtm, it doesnt hibernates
[00:59] <gaurang> just freezes
[00:59] <Strife89> KM0201: *Hopefully* I'll be able to get the iBook a RAM upgrade before too long, as well as an Airport card.
[01:00] <minimec> skilz: in 'updates' ubuntu default is 'security updates' and 'recommended updates' (the first two), check everything in 'branches'
[01:00] <KM0201> Strife89: yeah, ubuntu is gonna suck w/ only 128mb of ram
[01:00] <wasutton3>  
[01:00] <skilz> minimec, yeah but I am limited to what software I can install them
[01:00] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: I checked the mac filter, this isn't one
[01:00] <skilz> then*
[01:00] <kwtm> gaurang: Sorry to hear that. I am running 10.04 Kubuntu on Dell Inspiron 1525n (came with Ubuntu 6.10 but I replaced it). Can I help you with anything?
[01:00] <Danny78_> KM0201:  yesterday I was trying to get help and something ate up all my memory and gnome became like molassess...  512 RAM completely full along with 1.-something GB swap
[01:00] <LA9KSA> kwtm: Downloading maverick in macos as we speak :D

[01:00] <KM0201> Danny78_: yup
[01:00] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, unlikely then. if you don't know about it
[01:00] <bencahill> KM0201: could i check ram speed from bash? lshw -C memory isn't giving me that...
[01:00] <check> o en flahs
[01:00] <dffd> ok im trying to back some files up. its saying i dont have permissions. this is using the GUi (desktop) from the ubuntu CD
[01:00] <Strife89> KM0201: It sucks with only 256 MB as well, for the most part.
[01:01] <gaurang> kwtm, how to make it hibernate
[01:01] <gaurang> kwtm, :D
[01:01] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: well I meant there is one, but it is disabled.
[01:01] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, y
[01:01] <kwtm> gaurang: For example, have you tried command line?  I am trying to look up command line cmd for hibernate...
[01:01] <Lxndr> I am attempting to RDP into my work computer (windows xp professional) from my home computer (ubuntu 10.10). I have discovered the Remote Desktop Viewer - but unfortunately, it does not seem to be working very well with the instructions and data I was given by my workplace. Does anyone know know enough about this to be able to walk me through?
[01:01] <Strife89> dffd: Open a terminal and do sudo nautilus
[01:01] <dffd> would i be better using sudo CP or an actual copy command and as a root user
[01:01] <minimec> skilz: Check your settings in Synaptics and use the same with the new list.
[01:01] <wasutton3> i am trying to transfer files from one computer to another (preferrably using rsync) how would i have it set up so that the source computer running the command removes the files from its local directories after the transfer is complete?

[01:02] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, do that. wep isn't safe anymore
[01:03] <KM0201> Strife89: have you considered crunchbang linux?.. its basically Ubuntu, but w/ openbox
[01:03] <xangua> KM0201: only official ubuntu supported here
[01:03] <KM0201> xangua: i'm aware of that.. but ubuntu isn't supported on his system.. .thanks
[01:03] <kwtm> wasutton3: Hmm, my setup might not be what you need, but let me give you my answer first before we go looking for another one:
[01:04] <gaurang> kwtm, i am looking for cmd
[01:04] <goddard> I have been trying to setup an email server with some luck but an something that is out of most tutorials it seems is one vital aspect and that is how to setup the domain.  Can anyone enlighten me?
[01:04] <Strife89> check: Pregunte en el canal en español: #ubuntu-es
[01:04] <bastidrazor> KM0201: if that is the case then why would crunchbang work since it is a direct rip of ubuntu?
[01:04] <headkase314> KM0201, crunch-bang is known as crunch-bang because it is not guaranteed to go *crunch-bang!*
[01:04] <juken> Can someone tell me why openssl s_client -connect has issues making a handshake when no other ssl client does? (chrome, firefox, etc..)
[01:04] <KM0201> bastidrazor: cuz he only has 128mb of ram
[01:04] <kwtm> wasutton3: I put "ssh -p <port, default 22> username@computer.com "rm /path/to/files"
[01:04] <Strife89> KM0201: I have heard of the distro, but haven't tried it much.
[01:05] <kwtm> wasutton3: So that's where I actually send a command to the computer under a separate connection.  In my case I need to do a sophisticated command.  (I don't use "rm /pathname" but a series of move commands).  Let me look up the rsync man page to see if you might have a simpler solution.
[01:05] <wasutton3> ok
[01:05] <X14U2NVX_> sam-_-: changed it to WPA, still reconfiguring wireless network settings on laptop
[01:06] <sam-_-> KM0201, i never understood why these distros exist. i use the alternate cd and install just the packages i wna
[01:06] <sam-_-> KM0201, i never understood why these distros exist. i use the alternate cd and install just the packages i wnat
[01:06] <KM0201> sam-_-: same here.. but honestly, 128mb of ram.. it's gonna be hard to get anything ubuntu to run on that.. in addition to the fact its PPC
[01:07] <kwtm> wasutton3: You might try the --remove-source-files
[01:07] <Strife89> sam-_-: Not all users have the know-how to do that.
[01:07] <sam-_-> KM0201, yes he should consider an entirely different dist.
[01:07] <kwtm> wasutton3: I got this from "man rsync".  You might be able to find more.
[01:07] <KM0201> sam-_-: thus why i was suggesting "entirely different dist."... :)
[01:07] <wasutton3> kwtm: hmmm i will have to test that
[01:07] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: how can i change the password to work with WPA?, the network manager only suggests WEP and LEAP?
[01:08] <Strife89> s/do that/do that properly/
[01:08] <kwtm> gaurang: Ah, I remember.  It's the "shutdown" command.  Hang on, let me read the man page.
[01:08] <dffd> Strife89:   http://pastebin.com/vAQMTxHE
[01:08] <bencahill> KM0201: unless you use ubuntu cli!
[01:08] <KM0201> bencahill: wel, that could work...
[01:08] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, can you turn wifi off and on again?
[01:09] <Strife89> dffd: Ah, and this is on the Live CD?
[01:09] <kwtm> gaurang: Nope, I was wrong.  Not shutdown.  Darn, I know this --it's on the tip of my tongue!  Hang on a bit more...
[01:09] <bencahill> KM0201: depends on your usage :D I'm running ubuntu with no x on an old laptop using it as a digital picture frame, and it works great! :)

[01:09] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-:ahh that did it thank you
[01:09] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: well the WPA, not the problem
[01:10] <dffd> ok im trying to back some files up. its saying i dont have permissions. this is using the GUi (desktop) from the ubuntu CD
[01:10] <dffd> sorry for repeating
[01:10] <X14U2NVX> sam-_-: is WPA case sensitive?
[01:10] <Lxndr> I am attempting to RDP into my work computer (windows xp professional) from my home computer (ubuntu 10.10).

[01:11] <KM0201> X14U2NVX: if that was your problem all along, i'm going to laugh at you
[01:11] <kwtm> gaurang: Got it.  It's the pm-hibernate command, but you should also check out /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh
[01:11] <powe> hi. where can i find the build script or confingure options a package was build with ? is there a place in launchpad with those?
[01:11] <sam-_-> X14U2NVX, as KM0201 says
[01:11] <cntb> I dont remember how to explore debian packages . what they contain what function they have and where will all files be put on system. please helpsaving me time
[01:11] <bastidrazor> dffd: sudo chown $USER /media/sda6   ..this will make the files accessable by your user.
[01:11] <KM0201> headkase314: honestly, debian w/ lxde, is probably his best bet...

[01:12] <X14U2NVX_> thank you KM0201 and sam-_- it now works
[01:12] <headkase314> KM0201, Strife89 Debian supports many architectures, that is why it is so glacial in movement ;)
[01:12] <KM0201> X14U2NVX: lmao....
[01:12] <X14U2NVX_> although before KM starts laughing
[01:12] <KM0201> lol
[01:12] <Strife89> KM0201: It will be my only machine that I own. I bought it from someone in a nearby country and they should ship it soon.
[01:12] <bencahill> gaurang: here: man pm-hibernate
[01:13] <X14U2NVX_> i had to change it FROM WEP to WPA, plus some terminal stuff to fix the driver
[01:13] <X14U2NVX_> so it wasn't JUST the cases XD
[01:13] <Strife89> s/my only/the only/

[01:14] <shcherbak> randomuser: usermod
[01:14] <Strife89> KM0201: So yes, it's likely I will nuke what's on there (although the swap list rules enforce HDD wiping before shipping) and just put Linux on it.
[01:14] <xangua> cntb: extract them¿¿
[01:14] <cntb> xangua only look at info of installed
[01:14] <Danny78_> How do I manually mount win shares in xfce?
[01:14] <headkase314> cntb, "apt-cache --help" ?
[01:14] <KM0201> Strife89: i'd try Debian stable-ppc w/ lxde   it's not a live cd.. and not nearly as user friendly as Ubuntu.. but you can get the hang of it.
[01:14] <cntb> headkase tyvm
[01:15] <bencahill> gaurang: why do you want to do it from command?
[01:15] <cntb> headkase314, tyvm

[01:15] <dotblank> Danny78_, by using the mount command line tool
[01:15] <bencahill> !tab | cntb
[01:15] <dotblank> !mount
[01:15] <headkase314> cntb, you're welcome if that was what you were looking for.. ;)
[01:15] <Strife89> KM0201: Relatively speaking, newbie-friendly-ness is high on my list right now, as the laptop will be used for college (classes start tomorrow)
[01:16] <KM0201> Danny78_: the "easy way"... would be to install Disk Utility (sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility).. it'll let you mount/unmount w/ the click of a button.
[01:16] <KM0201> Danny78_: since xfce has a lot of Gnome libraries anyway, you won't have to installa  ton of stuff.
[01:16] <Danny78_> KM0201:  even network shares?
[01:16] <vida_apart> re buenas
[01:16] <gaurang> bencahill, i am trying to figure out why it freezes when i hibernate my laptop , ubuntu 10.04 is installed inside windows
[01:17] <KM0201> Danny78_: network shares, i don't think so... that'll have to be done w/ Samba most likely, and i've never set up samba w/ xfce
[01:17] <KM0201> but it should be doable
[01:17] <bencahill> gaurang: as in wubi, or vm?
[01:17] <randomuser> shcherbak: you can see that I did try to use usermode there.
[01:17] <gaurang> bencahill, wubi
[01:17] <dffd> Strife89: ive backed up my /home/ directory. do you know if the new ubuntu 10.10 will retain my settings. im on 8.10 and its reverted back to tty (lost my desktop from a bad package install)
[01:17] <cntb> headkase314, think yes explore progs and their files to tune startup and more, simple things for the time
[01:17] <randomuser> usermod *
[01:17] <bencahill> gaurang: so ubuntu freezes when you're booted up to it and try to hibernate?
[01:18] <Strife89> dffd: Have you tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[01:18] <gaurang> bencahill, when i try to hibernate
[01:18] <dffd> tried it, it asked me to use apt-get update again i beleive. so theres no way i can get it to work
[01:19] <bencahill> gaurang: it may just be that hibernate doesn't work with your laptop
[01:19] <jrmcm> I need help compiling a wifi driver. I have downloaded the driver from realtek, and am having trouble with make. It gives me the error no such directory os/linux
[01:19] <gaurang> kwtm, bencahill it is 1525 inspiron , dell
[01:19] <dffd> if i try it again and write down the error message and come back. it may just be a bad apt-get update list?
[01:19] <KM0201> jrmcm: what driver did you download/compile?
[01:19] <gaurang> kwtm, ur inspiron supports hibernating ?

[01:19] <Haunt_House> is it possible to manually add a folder to the main folders in nautilus sidebar? (not the bookmarks)
[01:20] <van7hu> hi all,is there any snowboard game for ubuntu ?
[01:20] <Strife89> dffd: Not sure at the moment, but I'm not really knowledgeable here. :)
[01:20] <randomuser> please tell me what to do to delete the user from his own group, I only want him to be in 'users' group ...
[01:20] <bastidrazor> Haunt_House: drag and drop the folder to the sidebar.
[01:20] <KM0201> van7hu: tux racer is sort of like a snowboard game.... :)
[01:21] <shcherbak> randomuser: sudo deluser <user> <group>
[01:21] <Strife89> randomuser: chgrp ?
[01:21] <kwtm> gaurang: It always has yes. Didn't actually test it with the 6.10 it came with (or was it 5.10?) but I installed 6.06 (I think?), 8.04 and now 10.04, and it supported them all.
[01:21] <dffd> k. i will write down the error and google it more. that may be the answer even if i am currently DLing the ubuntu 10.10 iso
[01:21] <jrmcm> KM201: 2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1.tar.bz2
[01:21] <bastidrazor> dffd: it would best to redo your 10.10 setup instead of trying to use old settings from 8.10
[01:21]  * Strife89 disappears for a short while.
[01:21] <kwtm> gaurang: How big is your swap partition?
[01:21] <bastidrazor> dffd: 8.10 is EOL.. there is no fixing it.

[01:21] <bencahill> gaurang: searching for "inspiron 1525 hibernate" on google brings up a lot of things relating to that laptop, and some related to ubuntu...you may want to try this (http://spidertools.com/ub_power.php)
[01:21] <Thunderirc> hey guys im running ubuntu server , to be able to run ircd . the ircd , bnc , and services is up and running .. im using linksys router , i already added 6667 to the iptables ... outside users cant connect .. does anyone have any knowledge to this , can u please message me

[01:22] <kwtm> gaurang: Out of curiosity, is it a 1525n (no Windows preinstalled)?  It shouldn't matter, though --Ubuntu should be able to replace/squeeze in beside Windows and work properly.
[01:22] <dffd> yes but all i did was try get the dvd-rom to read dvds and i have inadvertenly scewed up a fax machine computer that wasnt mine to start with

[01:22] <bastidrazor> xangua: he is on an 8.10 liveCD that is trying to fix an 7.10 install. read the logs
[01:22] <k4r1m_> oh ma bad wrong channel oops
[01:22] <kwtm> k4r1m_: a Gnu is a Giga nano micro, so there are 1e-6 in a Gnu.  Am I right?
[01:23] <jrmcm> km201: unpacked to desktop, on the cl cd to the directory, changed the make file to target linux, when i use make, i get the error.  make -C tools

[01:23] <jrmcm> make: *** [build_tools] Error 2
[01:23] <Haunt_House> bastidrazor, nope, wont work. I guess this works with the bookmarks, But my nautilus doesn't show them. It show file system and home folder only
[01:23] <van7hu> KM0201: not tux, I prefer people than penguins
[01:23] <KM0201> van7hu: then i'm not aware of one.
[01:23] <gaurang> kwtm, it is 255 MBs
[01:23] <kwtm> gaurang: What!?? 255MB swap partition!?  How big is your RAM?
[01:24] <Thunderirc> hey guys im running ubuntu server , to be able to run ircd . the ircd , bnc , and services is up and running .. im using linksys router , i already added 6667 to the iptables ... outside users cant connect .. does anyone have any knowledge to this , can u please message me
[01:24] <gaurang> kwtm, it is 3 Gigs
[01:24] <bastidrazor> dffd: in that case you should go with 10.04 that is supported far longer than 10.10
[01:24] <bencahill> !patience | Thunderirc
[01:24] <kwtm> gaurang: Umm.. gaurang, when your computer hibernates and it needs to store the 3 Gigs of stuff that WAS in the RAM to hard disk, how do you think it's going to squeeze it into 255MB?
[01:25] <gaurang> bencahill, that thread is closed , no answer :(
[01:25] <kwtm> gaurang: There used to be a rule of thumb that your swap partition should be at least as big as your RAM, but from my experience, it's better to have it twice as big as your RAM.
[01:25] <KM0201> gaurang: well it is linux... can't it just overcome owner stupidity?
[01:25] <bencahill> gaurang: he said he fixed the problem by doing updates
[01:25] <KM0201> :)
[01:25] <bencahill> KM0201: :)
[01:25] <jrmcm> make: *** [build_tools] Error 2
[01:25] <jrmcm> km201: unpacked to desktop, on the cl cd to the directory, changed the make file to target linux, when i use make, i get the error.  make -C tools
[01:25] <gaurang> bencahill, oops , i missed that
[01:26] <bastidrazor> Haunt_House: right, it does work with the bookmarks .. i don't know how to add them to where you're wanting.
[01:26] <bencahill> gaurang: np :)
[01:26] <kwtm> Am I wrong?  Can someone correct me?  When Linux hibernates, doesn't it hole up in the swap partition?  Or does it create some new file on the hard drive on some other partition?
[01:26] <gaurang> kwtm, hell yeah , totally agree :)
[01:26] <dotblank> jrmcm, um.. what are you making
[01:26] <itaylor57> KM0201: lol
[01:26] <biopyte> how can i extract every 5th line from a plain text file using grep or others? if this is not the right channel for this kind of question, which one is? Thank you.
[01:26] <jrmcm> wifi driver
[01:26] <kwtm> gaurang: Perhaps you'd like to join me in booting off a LiveCD and resizing the partitions.  That's what I'm doing right now on this laptop that I'm typing from. :P
[01:26] <bencahill> ok guys, is there a way I could use expect (or another application) to feed live input from one computer to another?
[01:26] <dotblank> jrmcm, what specific driver? have you tried using wireless compat from linux-wireless?
[01:27] <cntb> what part of maverick filesystem ia auto indexed for search what is the name of indexing system?
[01:27] <bastidrazor> biopyte: #bash may be more helpful
[01:27] <bencahill> kwtm: he's using a wubi install :O
[01:27] <biopyte> ok
[01:27] <biopyte> thx
[01:27] <jrmcm> not sure what that is. but the driver i downloaded was for linux

[01:28] <gaurang> kwtm, sure , is it possible to resize the partitions using liveCD
[01:28] <kwtm> bencahill: Okay, well, I won't hold it against him.  But am I right that it isn't possible to hibernate a computer whose RAM is bigger than swap?
[01:28] <shcherbak> biopyte: cat <files> | head -n 5 | tail -n 1

[01:30] <bencahill> kwtm: wouldn't make any sense to me :)
[01:30] <bencahill> kwtm: i.e. yes, i agree :)
[01:31] <DaGeek247> !wifi > nazgul
[01:31] <kwtm> gaurang: Yes, but it may take a long time.  Step 1: back up EVERYTHING in case your hard drive gets hosed.  Step 2: boot from LiveCD (you know how to download and burn?)  Step 3: connect to Internet and "install" the package "gparted" into your liveCD session (does NOT mean "install" your liveCD ubuntu onto hard disk --different meaning of the word "install")
[01:31] <kwtm> gaurang: Then run gparted. You need to do this from LiveCD because you cannot use the hard disk you are repartitioning, while you are repartitioning it, so you can't boot your computer as normal.
[01:32] <nazgul> went through the docs 3x and still no joy or I wouldn't have come back asking a second time
[01:32] <KM0201> gaurang: what exactly are you trying to do?
[01:33] <gaurang> i was curious what kwtm is doing , btw i lost my 500 Gigs of data because of my stupidity
[01:33] <Fl0werR> Douce nuit à tous ^^
[01:33] <kwtm> KM0201: I am urging gaurang to repartition his swap partition bigger so his computer can hibernate.
[01:34] <KM0201> kwtm: ahh, gotcha
[01:34] <kwtm> gaurang: Hey, I thought of a slightly different plan that might work better.
[01:34] <gaurang> nice !! tell me
[01:34] <kwtm> gaurang: In Linux, it is possible to use more than one swap partition.
[01:34] <bepraaa> Sure.
[01:34] <etrisnanto> hello
[01:34] <bepraaa> You can even have them on different disks.
[01:35] <kwtm> gaurang: So, instead of moving around a whole bunch of partitions making them bigger or smaller, just find a big partition that has, say, 6 Gigs of unused space at the end (hopefully you have some 60Gig partition or something), and shrink that partition by 6 Gigs.
[01:36] <kwtm> gaurang: So now you have a gap that's 6 Gigs in size, and we don't care where exactly in the hard drive it is.  (With other sorts of partitions we might care.)  And then create another Linux swap partition.
[01:36] <j9lb> excuse me, I'm trying to enable SHMconfig, but I can't figure out how; I found the instructions for editing xorg.conf, but the docs claim this is outdated; do you know where I can find current instructions?
[01:36] <Haunt_House> can I show my bookmarks in Nautilus other than the menu?
[01:37] <mimor> Still no driver for the Ati Radeon HD 68xx series :'(
[01:37] <kwtm> gaurang: If I recall, Linux automatically detects any swap partitions and will use them.  You will still need to use backup the hard drive and use gparted, but it will be much faster and much less risk of corrupting your hard drive.
[01:37] <kwtm> gaurang: I imagine it might take 15 minutes (for gparted) instead of 2 hours, say.
[01:37] <bastidrazor> kwtm: no, it would have to be added in /etc/fstab
[01:38] <kwtm> gaurang: Btw, just in case I wasn't clear: back up EVERYTHING on the hard drive, including Windows partitions that you may think are unaffected, just in case gparted screws up the entire hard drive.  Backing up is the most time-consuming part of using gparted (though you should have been doing it already anyway).
[01:38] <kwtm> bastidrazor: I stand corrected, gaurang.  But editing the /etc/fstab file to tell Linux you have a new swap partition is relatively easy.
[01:39] <gaurang> kwtm, right
[01:39] <kwtm> gaurang: Oh, shoot, just thought of something ... bastidrazor, will the creation of a new swap partition change the numbering of the partitions and screw up booting up and all that?  (Eg. /dev/sda6 is now /dev/sda7 or something...)
[01:40] <Chelsea> Does anyone know why there's no #banshee? Are banshee dev's hanging out somewhere else?
[01:40] <bastidrazor> kwtm: use UUID's and you won't have to worry about that.
[01:40] <bencahill> !info gimp-help-en
[01:40] <kwtm> bastidrazor: Good idea.  Does Ubuntu do that already?  Hey, gaurang, you are using 10.10, right?
[01:41] <xangua> Chelsea: try in the gnome irc networl
[01:41] <xangua> network*
[01:41] <gaurang> no 10.04
[01:41] <bastidrazor> kwtm: as of 10.04 it did not, "sudo blkid" will give yout he UUID's
[01:41] <kwtm> gaurang: What was that about losing 500G of data?
[01:41] <gaurang> kwtm, that was horrible
[01:42] <gaurang> kwtm, i saw my friend was having around 7 distros (different) in his Lappie
[01:42] <gaurang> kwtm, so i tried to do that , whole HD got corrupted
[01:42] <Chelsea> xangua, thanks, will try.

[01:43] <gaurang> kwtm, right now I just want to remove vista out of this laptop but i use pendrive to copy contents it will cost me 20 hours
[01:43] <gaurang> kwtm, you have something in mind ?
[01:43] <gaurang> i really want to get rid of windows
[01:44]  * Haunt_House just discovered dolphin...how come it's for kde and works under ubuntu? Am I to expect troubles?
[01:44] <kwtm> bastidrazor, gaurang: I am not sure how Windows identifies drives --I don't want Drive C: to suddenly become Drive D:, so just to be safe I think the best thing overall is actually to increase the size of the swap partition (not create a new one) using gparted.  Or PartitionMagic / PartitionExpert, if you bought that.
[01:45] <kwtm> gaurang: Why 20 hours?  Do you mean you will need to keep changing pendrives because each one is so small, or the drive itself is just slow?  Tell me a bit about your hard drive.  How big is it, how big are the partitions?  Is it 500G?
[01:45] <Lxndr> I am attempting to RDP from my home computer (ubuntu 10.10) to my work computer (windows xp). My workplace has graciously provided me with instructions to connect (assuming I have windows) which include a server name and the 'name of my computer' both of which are apparently necessary. However, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to make this happen in ubuntu. Could anyone, with enough patience, walk me through the steps? (Throwing pr
[01:45] <Lxndr> ogram names at me isn't helping, and that's all I've gotten so far)
[01:45] <bholz> Having issues uninstalling 9.10 w/ 10.10
[01:45] <bholz> halp?
[01:45] <randomuser> anyone, please say how to selete user 'username' from group 'username' here,  http://pastebin.mozilla.org/926550 , I have no idea how to set the primary group
[01:46] <Jordan_U> Haunt_House: You can use KDE apps in GNOME and visa-versa just fine.
[01:46] <randomuser> delete
[01:46] <aitiba>  /join #jquery-es
[01:46] <kwtm> gaurang: I experimented once with many different distros, but I had a spare computer to work on.  My recommendation: don't tinker with your main computer you use for everyday living. Get some cheap desktop that someone else is throwing away and tinker with that. I am *very* conservative with my laptop (I have only installed LTS editions of Ubuntu on here).
[01:47] <bholz> Having issues replacing 9.10 w/ 10.10, help?
[01:47] <Haunt_House> Jordan_U, cool
[01:47] <KM0201> bholz: are you trying to upgrade 9.10 to 10.10, skipping 10.04?
[01:47] <kwtm> Haunt_House: KDE applications need the KDE libraries installed, but these are part of Ubuntu, so when you installed Dolphin, it installed the necessary KDE libraries so it should work fine.
[01:47] <olskolirc> wow bholz why would you want to leave karmic
[01:48] <bholz> KM0201, yes
[01:48] <olskolirc> back up your repository bholz (cough)
[01:48] <KM0201> bholz: thats not supported, you have to go 9.10 >> 10.04>>>10.10
[01:48] <Haunt_House> kwtm, good to know, thank you
[01:48] <bholz> no idea loll
[01:48] <KM0201> bholz: or clean install 10.10
[01:48] <kwtm> Lxndr: Will try to help you but am not very expert. Not familiar with RDP; let me look it up to see if I know enough to help you...
[01:48] <gaurang> kwtm, i have 160 gigs of HD having Vista installed , C / D drives , ubuntu installed as Wubi , I am tired of Windows , my PC has 2 TB HD and i guess first of all i need to create a image of Currently used Ubuntu and cut copy files from Vista , tell me whats the best way to do that ?
[01:48] <Lxndr> kwtm: Thank you very much!
[01:48] <kwtm> Lxndr: What program did you plan to use on the Ubuntu client?  And which program names have been thrown at you so far? :)
[01:48] <olskolirc> make sure you back it up first bholz and your X11
[01:49] <bholz> KM0201, I want to wipe my 9.10 out completely, bad kernel just set it asside and never used it. i was going to start fresh with 10.10
[01:49] <KM0201> bholz: ok, have you download and burned 10.10?
[01:49] <Lxndr> kwtm: People have mentioned rdesktop to me, as well as 'vinagre' (which apparently is also called 'Remote Desktop Viewer').
[01:49] <nazgul> OK so I've reread and gone over all the docs I can find on troubleshooting my Broadcom Wireless device, but everything is dealing with getting the correct drivers and firmware installed, which I have, but I still can't see any networks
[01:49] <olskolirc> I wish ubuntu would make a rescue cd where all you have to do is click replace grub option after you dual with windows like rpm distros do
[01:49] <bholz> KM0201: yes
[01:50] <kwtm>  Lxndr: aaargh! Sorry, I take that back --I am running on a LiveCD session and don't have my normal computer set up with which I am familiar, so I can't look things up. Let me finish with gaurang and I'll see if I have spare tidbits of knowledge for you, but realistically I probably won't be much help.  Keep asking every 5-10 minutes --someone else might know.
[01:50] <KM0201> bholz: so whats the issue?
[01:50] <bholz> KM0201: its in the drive, but it wont boot upon start up. done all i can with bios, however grub isnt listening
[01:50] <renatov> Could someone please help me with a D-bus issue? Variable "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" is not set, so I can't use commands like "banshee --stop".
[01:50] <Lxndr> kwtm: I appreciate it! I'll try asking in a while (I've learned not to ask things too frequently, I've gotten yelled at after doing 10 minute pauses)
[01:50] <KM0201> bholz: have you already installed 10.10, and now you're having a problem, or you can't get the cd to boot?
[01:50] <bholz> KM0201: cant get CD to boot
[01:51] <kwtm> Lxndr: Just my own $0.02: I use Kubuntu (KDE) and it comes with krdc built-in.  It seems to be able to accept a few protocols, and seems user-friendly enough, but I have only used it with VNC, not RDP.  Might want to try?  May have to install KDE, though.
[01:51] <KM0201> bholz: are you sure you burned it proper, cd drive working properly, etc?
[01:51] <bholz> KM0201: yes, plugging it into another CD starts the wizard just fine, even ubuntu reads system files - however no wizard start up.
[01:52] <bholz> KM0201: yes, plugging it into another PC****
[01:52] <kwtm> gaurang: Okay, what I recommend is: get an external drive (you'll want one, anyway).  You can choose to buy an external, or buy an internal (these are cheaper) and then also separately buy a metal case that turns it into external. This way you can use it as an internal, too, if you like.
[01:52] <KM0201> bholz: so you're trying to boot an external cdrom
[01:52] <bholz> KM0201: Apologies - define...
[01:52] <renatov> Could someone please help me wCould someone please help me with a D-bus issue? Variable "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" is not set, so I can't use commands like "banshee --stop".ith a D-bus issue? Variable "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" is not set, so I can't use commands like "banshee --stop".
[01:52] <KM0201> external... USB
[01:53] <bholz> KM0201: Figured - no, on-board CDrom
[01:53] <kwtm> gaurang: Depending on your budget, you can choose different size drives.  Last year I bought a 1500 G drive (1.5TB) for US$120, so it should be easy to get a cheap 160GB drive that can hold everything.
[01:53] <renatov> Could someone please help me with a D-bus issue? Variable "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" is not set, so I can't use commands like "banshee --stop".
[01:53] <kwtm> renatov: I can help you.  Will finish my msg to gaurang then help you.
[01:53] <kwtm> renatov: Okay, you are starting to repeat yourself --that's 3 times in 1 minute.  Stop being so annoying or I won't help.  Geez...
[01:53] <KM0201> bholz: so what happens when you try to boot the cd, it just acts like the cd isn't there, or what?
[01:54] <markturnip> What's the best way of running a scp in the background.
[01:54] <nazgul> I picked up a pair of 500GB drives for $25 bucks each, they were sitting on a clearance shelf next to a 512MB Creative Zen mp3 player for $60...I think I got the better deal, lol
[01:54] <nazgul> Wal-Mart.
[01:55] <gaurang> kwtm, sure i will get one , i had one but they are too fragile
[01:55] <bholz> KM0201: Good question, yes and no. It reads that their is a CD, but bios (or maybe because of grub) is passing up the boot process and pushing me straight into ubuntu. however when i see that there is a disk in drive on the ubuntu desktop, upon clicking it, i get nothing. just the dir files which take me no where
[01:55] <kwtm> gaurang: Suggestion #2: then go copy all the files onto external drive using your normal Windows and Linux copy commands; I say stay away from fancy Norton Copy-All-Your-Files-To-Some-Other-Drive programs that need you to run the same program just to restore files.
[01:56] <KM0201> bholz: it sounds like your CD drive s not first in yoru boot sequence in your BIOS
[01:56] <kwtm> gaurang: Then once everything is backed up (will take about 2-5 hours, not including buying the drive) go for the GParted thing.
[01:56] <kwtm> renatov: Okay, DBUS session --it says DBUS session bus address not set, right?
[01:56] <bholz> KM0201: it is.
[01:56] <bholz> i even temp boot it
[01:57] <kwtm> renatov: Darn, hang on, I'm not running on my normal hard drive so I have to go somewhere else to look up the info -- hang on...
[01:57] <bholz> KM0201: still no bueno, i just want to wipe it clean and start over w/ this 10.10
[01:57] <bholz> however i might need to go winxp then back across
[01:57] <KM0201> bholz: i dunno.. you have a mysterious pc, it is skipping a perfectly bootable CD, when the CD drive is first in boot sequence, don't take it to a computer repairman, take it to a priest
[01:57] <bholz> KM0201: LOL will do. I know its my kernel
[01:58] <KM0201> bholz: no its not... the cd loads before the kernel, if your BIOS is set up properly, because it loads even before the hard drive(where the kernel is)
[01:58] <resno> if a one cron isnt firing, a help finding why not? i dont see any cron logs in /var/logs
[01:58] <markturnip> What's the best way of running a scp in the background?
[01:59] <kwtm> renatov: Okay, I will tell you how to get the DBUS session address, and then show you a script I use to make it automated so you can run banshee or whatever.
[01:59] <bholz> KM0201: I thought of that but it seems.. man I dont know lol im brain fried on this. thank you for all your help, im going to buy a new hard drive :P
[01:59] <nazgul> could still use some guidance with this issue I'm having with my wireless, either the answer I need isn't in the docs, or I'm not perceptive enough to recognize it...
[01:59] <KM0201> bholz: what is a new hard drive going to do?... your system can't boot the CD Rom...
[01:59] <kwtm> renatov: Basically, the session address is an environment variable.  Are you familiar with command-line Linux?  (Ie. do you use Terminal/Console?)
[01:59] <KM0201> bholz: if you're gonna buy something new, buy a new cd drive.
[02:00] <bholz> it works though, it reads the disk
[02:00] <kwtm> renatov: Oh, I see you do, because you mentioned "banshee --stop" which you can't do from a GUI. Okay, great.
[02:00]  * KM0201 needs a drink
[02:00] <Sina3> hey guys
[02:00] <gaurang> kwtm, yeah !! sure i will do that today itself :)
[02:00] <Sina3> i just got ubuntu
[02:00] <bholz> KM0201: but IN the 9.10 OS
[02:00] <Sina3> i used wubi to install it to my external HDD
[02:00] <Sina3> but i cant access the movies i have on my external hdd from ubuntu
[02:00] <gaurang> kwtm,  how we run programs directly in RAM ?
[02:01] <bholz> KM0201: Not the bios - would you know of a cmd that says "hey, boot the disk in the drive please"
[02:01] <Sina3> i can only see them on windows
[02:01] <KM0201> bholz: i dunno... what i want to know, is how on earth do you think the hard drive is the reason the cd won't boot, when according to your BIOS, it should be checking the CD, before the hard drive even loads
[02:01] <Faustus> I'm just looking through theMacTel doc and am left wonder why only the root partition can be ext4. Can someone explain this to me?
[02:01] <renatov> kwtm:  sorry, I was afk, but now I'm back =D
[02:01] <kwtm> renatov: the DBUS session address is set by your GUI, so if you have booted up Ubuntu (say) and open Gnome-terminal (I use Konsole in KDE, but it's the same), then you will be able to get the DBUS session address.
[02:01] <KM0201> bholz: some computers, have a option.. it's usually on the boot screen, like "Press xx to select boot device"... do you see a message like that?
[02:01] <merma> hi im having problems reverting to single screen on my gnome box. In the nvidia X server settings I can't change the Separate X Screen to disabled or twinview since those checkboxes are disabled. Any idea :/
[02:01] <KM0201> if so, press the designated key, and try to choose th cd
[02:02] <renatov> kwtm:  I use fluxbox
[02:02] <bholz> KM0201: Yes "temp boot device" like a one time deal, as i said i already gave that a shot
[02:02] <renatov> kwtm:  the terminal warning is this:
[02:02] <kwtm> gaurang: Yes, when you boot LiveCD, it turns part of your RAM into a RAMdisk so the computer thinks it has a hard disk.  It then "installs" itself into the RAM disk.  So you can run programs as if you're running on a slower computer with less RAM and a small hard drive (which is really part of the RAM)
[02:02] <kwtm> renatov: fluxbox is fine.  This is the command I use:
[02:02] <renatov> kwtm:  [Warn  00:02:55.601] DBus support could not be started. Disabling for this session.
[02:03] <kwtm> export MYDBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`set | grep -E DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS | sed -r -e 's/^[^=]*=//'`
[02:03] <kwtm> renatov: ^^
[02:03] <skutr3> hey how do i get into the firefox plugins directory from the terminal?
[02:03] <gaurang> kwtm,oh ! so , is there any command or so for running specific program on RAM
[02:04] <kwtm> renatov: If I understand you, the error is because the environment variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is missing or wrong.  This happens for me because I use "screen" on the command line.  Do you?
[02:04] <skutr3> can anyone tell me how to get into the firefox plugins directory from the terminal
[02:04] <renatov> what does this mean? "screen on the command line"
[02:04] <renatov> kwtm:  what does this mean? "screen on the command line"
[02:04] <kwtm> gaurang: I don't know that you can say "Hey, run this program on RAM", but when you boot from LiveCD, the entire time you will be running in RAM (that's how you can do without using the hard drive, so that GParted can repartition it).
[02:05] <renatov> kwtm:  I runned the command you told me, but banshee still does not work =/
[02:05] <kwtm> renatov: If you do not type the command "screen", then never mind.  "screen" is a command, like "ls" or "mv".  Anyway...
[02:05] <renatov> the command "echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" is still returning a blank line too
[02:05] <renatov> oh I see
[02:05] <kwtm> renatov: Okay, so you need to understand it a bit more before you use that command.  I did not mean for you to type the command exactly, just as an illustration.  Please do this for me: type this command and tell me what it says:
[02:06] <kwtm> renatov: "set | grep -E DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"  Type that, without quotes.
[02:06] <renatov> kwtm I typed the command, but it returned nothing
[02:06] <kwtm> sorry, I guess the "-E" is unnecessary.
[02:06] <renatov> ok, i'll retry =]
[02:06] <gaurang> kwtm, thanks a lot for your kind help :)
[02:06] <renatov> kwtm:  nothing again =/
[02:07] <kwtm> renatov: Ah, so it is blank.  So, you do NOT have an environment variable containing the DBUS session address.  Okay, now please open a NEW terminal window in Fluxbox (MUST be using GUI).
[02:07] <renatov> kwtm:  done!
[02:07] <earwigs> <3 ubuntu
[02:07] <kwtm> renatov: Do *not* go to Ctrl-Alt-F1 for a text screen or anything like that.  Then in that new terminal window, type the same command.
[02:07] <renatov> kwtm:  nothing again
[02:08] <kwtm> renatov: I'm expecting something like ... a long string of letters and numbers.
[02:08] <renatov> kwtm:  I'm typing this commando
[02:08] <45PABOHGD> j
[02:08] <renatov> kwtm:  $ export MYDBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`set | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS | sed -r -e 's/^[^=]*=//'`
[02:08] <kwtm> renatov: Okay, so next question is: does Fluxbox support DBUS?  If it doesn't, then that's why Banshee won't find any DBUS.
[02:08] <renatov> kwtm:  but it returns nothing
[02:08] <Joseph__> hi everyone
[02:08] <Faustus> is there a macbook channel?
[02:08] <Joseph__> i have question about ubuntu installation
[02:08] <kwtm> renatov: That is the wrong command.  I expect it to return nothing. I will repeat.
[02:08] <KM0201> Faustus: #buyarealpc
[02:08] <kwtm> renatov: "set | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"  Type that, without quotes.
[02:09] <renatov> kwtm:  yes, it does... in debian lenny I can use banshee with fluxbox
[02:09] <Sina3> anyone know how i can access files, on the hdd i installed ubuntu on?
[02:09] <kwtm> renatov: Type only that above, starting with "set" and ending with "ADDRESS".  Do not type the command that starts with "export" bla bla
[02:09] <Faustus> thanks KM0201 It's always nice to see discrimination never dies
[02:09] <KM0201> Faustus: :)
[02:09] <kwtm> renatov: First type that in the window where you first started, where you were trying to run Banshee.  Then type that in the new window I told you to open.
[02:10] <renatov> it returned some things... i'll pastebin it

[02:11] <Joseph__> kwtm: sorry, I would like to ask about the ubuntu installation. I have problem with it.
[02:11] <kwtm> Joseph__: I'm sorry to be abrupt, but please do not send me private messages because: 1) I have not agreed to help you with installation --I happen to know the answer to some questions but I am not in charge of answering all questions;
[02:11] <cntb>  I am used to alt'shift for switching languages . where is this  turned on
[02:11] <Guest31151> oq e isso exatamente
[02:11] <kwtm> Joseph__: 2) someone else may be able to answer your question, so just ask it in public, and
[02:11] <daxt> Is there an FTP client that supports multiple concurrent remote logins and that allows me to transfer a file between the 2 remote servers without first having to download it to my local drive?
[02:11] <Joseph__> kwtm: I am so sorry :(
[02:11] <Guest31151> isso aki e um chat
[02:11] <nazgul> so, I could really use some help troubleshooting this wireless connectivity issue...
[02:11] <kwtm> Joseph__: 3) Someone else may benefit from knowing the answer to your questions, which will be hidden if we do this in private messages.

[02:12] <kwtm> Joseph__: No need to be sorry --you didn't know.  But I do want to tell you why not to ask in private msgs.  Go ahead, ask your question.  Lots of people here smarter than me. :)

[02:12] <Faustus> KM0201: I take it you don't know anything about UNIX
[02:12] <kwtm> renatov: Actually, can you send me a private msg and paste it in?
[02:13] <skutr3> thieven`: heyt
[02:13] <KM0201> Faustus: don't need to... been happily using Linux for 6yrs
[02:13] <kwtm> renatov: I'm trying to conserve RAM here because gparted is running in the background.
[02:13] <Joseph__> I would like to install ubuntu in another partition which i have windows 7 pre-installed. I am able to boot from a thumbdrive but I am confused of the options: install alongside with other operating system, erase and use entire partition (not likely), and manually allocate another partition
[02:13] <Joseph__> which one should i choose?
[02:13] <skutr3> thieven`: hey*
[02:13] <45PABOHGD> f
[02:13] <sy> anybody familiar with Asus Eee PC's?
[02:13] <sy> and/or netbooks?
[02:14] <KM0201> Joseph__: along side.. or do ou want specific help?
[02:14] <Faustus> KM0201: You obviously don't know you're running a UNIX based system. If you knew that you wouldn't disparage Apple
[02:14] <neothecat> hello.  has anyone had problems with BCM4311 running really slow on 10.10 32bit?
[02:14] <gaurang> whats the problem with :: Failed to execute child process "/home/gaurang/qtsdk-2010.02/bin/qtcreator" (Permission denied)
[02:14] <cntb> sy asus eee pc should run ubuntu ok
[02:14] <kwtm> Joseph__: Install alongside other operating system.  (If you do not already know that you're going to manually allocate, then you probably don't have enough experience doing it manually.)
[02:14] <Joseph__> KM0201: yea
[02:14] <skutr3> thieven`
[02:14] <KM0201> Faustus: i think you need to take a paxil, i was joking w/ you to begin with.. you know nothing aout "what i know"... there are differences in Linux and Unix, and yes I know mac is unix based...
[02:14] <skutr3> help me
[02:14] <sy> yeah I'm running ubuntu right now, but I need to find graphics drivers and I'm unsure about the process of getting the ones I need...
[02:14] <Gnea> sy: yes.
[02:14] <Gnea> sy: what's your question?
[02:14] <KM0201> Joseph__: answer your PM
[02:15] <Faustus> a whole 6 years huh?
[02:15] <shcherbak> Faustus: What is this mouning about? Search freenode.org for mac orientated channels.
[02:15] <cntb> gnea sy maybe lspci
[02:15] <Gnea> sy: if you use netbook remix, it should all be automagically installed correctly
[02:15] <KM0201> shcherbak: he's butt hurt apparently.
[02:15] <Faustus> thanks shcherbak
[02:15] <Joseph__> kwtm: I have already made another partition out from windows storage manager, but I dunno how to install on the designated partition. Is 'install alongside with other operating system' option will install ubuntu system into windows 7 drive?
[02:15] <kwtm> KM0201: Be careful of having Joseph__ install something under our guidance and then not being able to support it (if you have to leave the IRC channel early today, or in future days)
[02:15] <skutr3> can someone help me??????????
[02:15] <Gnea> !ask | skutr3
[02:15] <sy> well I had netbook remix originally, but something happened to the gnome at one point and I had to reinstall the desktop version
[02:15] <KM0201> kwtm: i've talked a LOT of people through installs here over the years... i think i can handle myself.
[02:16] <renatov> kwtm:  I sent you a private msg
[02:16] <Gnea> sy: oh, the desktop version is not oriented toward netbooks, you should really just use netbook remix
[02:16] <kwtm> KM0201: Okay, sounds like Joseph__ is in good hands.  Go for it.
[02:16] <skutr3> i want to use the terminal to acess the firefox plugins directory
[02:16] <skutr3> !!!!!
[02:16] <Gnea> skutr3: so use it, what's holding you back?
[02:16] <sy> hmm..... I guess that means I'll lose all the settings I've put in so far...?  also, will netbook remix automatically find the drivers I need...?
[02:17] <skutr3> i dont know how to acess it from the terminal Gnea
[02:17] <kwtm> renatov: Thank you for your paste.  It looks like you do NOT have a variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.  Do you get the same output when you run it from the terminal window that you newly opened when I told you to?
[02:17] <skutr3> Gnea: what is the directory
[02:17] <45PABOHGD> f
[02:17] <Gnea> sy: netbook remix is designed to "just work" so if you have any gui settings, they won't really matter. but if you have any important documents, you might want to back /home up first
[02:18] <shcherbak> Faustus: sorry, http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=mac , that is right one
[02:18] <Gnea> skutr3: are you looking for the global or personal directory?
[02:18] <kwtm> skutr3: explore under the ~/.mozilla directory.  Somewhere down the directory it will have a directory name with random alphanumerics, like ~/.mozilla/profiles/087uwt4hi8f0pwae or something like that.
[02:18] <renatov> kwtm:  no, in that new window I get nothing
[02:18] <renatov> kwtm:  the command returns nothing
[02:18] <kwtm> skutr3: I can't remember exactly --Gnea can help, it looks like.
[02:18] <skutr3> Gnea: im trying to install java
[02:18] <synackfin> how do I get the size of Linux's time quantum (aka jiffie aka time slice) ?
[02:18] <Faustus> shcherbak: no prob
[02:18] <Gnea> !java | skutr3
[02:18] <cntb> sy maybe /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[02:19] <kwtm> renatov: Okay, so for some reason when you get the command-line, that environment variable does not exist.  In my system, it does (Kubuntu 10.04).  Now the question is:
[02:19] <sy> Gnea: I prefer the desktop version though, because I need this OS to do more than just work, I know netbooks aren't desktops but I've had this for a year and it works pretty well
[02:19] <Gnea> skutr3: then you'll need to follow those directions from ubottu to get it done correctly
[02:19] <skutr3> ok
[02:19] <cntb> sorry skutr3 maybe /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[02:19] <sy> I heard Intel just put out linux drivers for laptops, maybe someone knows where I should look for them?
[02:19] <skutr3> Gnea: im on mint though
[02:20] <kwtm> renatov: Should that variable exist whenever a GUI uses DBUS?  Or is it just something that KDE/GNOME creates for convenience?  My suspicion is the former.  What version of Ubuntu are you on? (I know you're using Fluxbox for a DE)
[02:20] <renatov> kwtm:  10.04
[02:20] <Gnea> sy: Okay, well AFAIK it's using the intel video driver
[02:20] <Gnea> skutr3: why did you ask here?
[02:20] <Gnea> !mint | skutr3
[02:20] <kwtm> renatov: I wonder if you can access environment variables using some other program in Fluxbox?  E.g. does the file manager allow you to, say, "run a commandline program" or something?
[02:20] <KM0201> kwtm: yopu were right, he was an idiot... wasn't paying jack attention to anything
[02:21] <renatov> kwtm:  what do you mean?
[02:21] <kwtm> KM0201: Sorry to hear that ... hope he doesn't trash his hard drive or anything as he goes through the installation.
[02:22] <kwtm> renatov: Well, when I run that command, I get this:
[02:22] <KM0201> kwtm: he probably did... i told him to wait and he just hits install now...lol, i have no idea what he done
[02:22] <sy> Gnea: I'm sorry, what is AFAIK?
[02:22] <kwtm> renatov: "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-cEy8uwoDjv,guid=89c312c02ee7ec64a40e741c4cd8e5f4"
[02:22] <Gnea> sy: As Far As I Know
[02:23] <inaety> If I partition some of the harddrive for another distribution, is it possible that I lose some of my data from the ubuntu patition
[02:23] <renatov> kwtm:  I guess my Dbus is ok because I can use "$ audacious --stop" etc
[02:23] <kwtm> renatov: So that string of characters is the "secret code" of the DBUS session, and all programs apparently need it to be able to access the DBUS and get signals etc.
[02:23] <jason_in_colorad> hello one and all
[02:24] <jason_in_colorad> i have a slight issue, i install conky in ubunutu and when i click on the desktop is disappears
[02:24] <kwtm> renatov: What!?  So audacious uses it?  Wait, try this: just run "audacious".  Does it start a new GUI window?  If yes, then either Audacious doesn't need DBUS, or somehow it's getting the correct DBUS address some other way.
[02:24] <jason_in_colorad> can anyone help with this?
[02:24] <kwtm> renatov: Btw, that string of characters changes each time you start the GUI, so don't just copy and paste mine into your computer.
[02:25] <kwtm> renatov: can you do this?  "set | grep -i DBUS"
[02:25] <LA9KSA> Got to install Maverick now... Rebooted and checked tables; were synced. All seemed fine. Tried to boot Linux and now I'm stuck on tux screen :/
[02:25] <LA9KSA> Froze up on the tux image
[02:26] <kwtm> LA9KSA: Sorry to hear that. So GRUB let you choose which OS, and you were able to boot into MacOS if necessary?
[02:27] <hlzxy_> i need some help .  I just rm /tmp   and  now can not start ubuntu 10.04,  the error:/use/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256   ...anyone could help me?
[02:27] <kwtm> Hate to say it, folks, but an inner voice is saying to me, "Why are you helping all these people??  You have so many tasks of your own to get done!"  Am going to put a hold on responding to queries... will finish queries that I've already started.
[02:27] <kwtm> hlzxy_: Umm... why did you "rm /tmp"?
[02:27] <xTheGoat121x> Is anyone else in here testing Firefox 4?
[02:27] <LA9KSA> kwtm: A part of the process of putting linux on mac is to use another bootloader; rEFIt
[02:28] <renatov> kwtm:  i've sent you a prive msg with the return of that code
[02:28] <hlzxy_> I just think it is a tmp dir ,  my  root use 100%  so...
[02:28] <Gnea> kwtm: yes, that would be the logical thing to do :)
[02:28] <shcherbak> hlzxy_: "rm /tmp" sould not work...
[02:28] <kwtm> renatov: Okay, so somehow... you're not getting the dbus session address (the "secret code").  Sorry, not sure what to do next, but do you know a bit more now about what I was trying to tell you?  That there is a "session bus address" that needs to be retrieved in order to use Dbus.
[02:29] <hlzxy_> shcherbak:  why
[02:29] <45PABOHGD> how do i log in under my registered nick/
[02:29] <hlzxy_> anyone can help me?
[02:29] <renatov> kwtm:  ok, thanx for your help... i'll try to google it
[02:29] <renatov> kwtm:  c' ya
[02:29] <kwtm> renatov: Sorry I couldn't help more.
[02:29] <shcherbak> hlzxy_: rm do not remove directory without reclusive swith.
[02:30] <renatov> kwtm:  you helped me a lot =]
[02:30] <hlzxy_> shcherbak:  that is  a  mean,,,,I know it ...
[02:30] <hlzxy_> shcherbak:  I mean I remove it.
[02:31] <kwtm> shcherbak: Am I allowed to roll my eyes in exasperation when someone removes a directory that can only be removed by root?
[02:31] <shcherbak> hlzxy_: data recovery? or reinstall?
[02:31] <kwtm> shcherbak: Anyway, hope you're able to help hlzxy_
[02:31] <rgoytacaz> Hey, I got a problem with permissions, running a test website using apache, I've set the owner and group to www-data which apaches uses to run.

Is there a way to set this?

[02:35] <shcherbak> hlzxy_: you could try to boot in text mode, via resque
[02:35] <kwtm> KM0201: It's mostly checking.  So first it "checked to make sure there were no errors (fix if possible)", then it shrank the filesystem, then it "checked to make sure there were no errors (fix if possible)".  I'm sure I've got about 6 more of these fsck'ing fscks coming up in between all the partition shuffling.

[02:37] <kwtm> thiefy: I've got nothing else to do ... I can't run my normal computer because I've got Gparted taking its own sweet time repartitioning my hard drive.  By the time it's finished, I'll have cobwebs from my chin to the desk.

[02:38] <m1ndvirus> I can see my iPod's filesystem but Ubuntu doesn't recognize it as an iPod. Any help?
[02:38] <thiefy> m1ndvirus, what does it see it as? just like a usb drive?
[02:39] <sacarlson> alloosh: I assume you are using apache to view it?
[02:39] <alloosh> sacarlson: true
[02:39] <m1ndvirus> thiefy: It doesn't show it as a separate volume at all, actually.
[02:39] <thiefy> m1ndvirus, it wouldn't know it's an ipod, cause to the computer, it's just a storage volume.   do you want to run itunes to move files to it?
[02:39] <nazgul> could use some help here
[02:39] <m1ndvirus> thiefy: No... I use Banshee. It worked until recently.

[02:41] <KM0201> nazgul: did you restart?
[02:41] <m1ndvirus> KM0201: That didn't help much; sorry.
[02:42] <KM0201> m1ndvirus: well i don't know what more help you want than the official ubuntu ipod docs.
[02:42] <sacarlson> alloosh: how about libapache2-mod-php5  is that also installed?
[02:42] <thiefy> m1ndvirus, hmm, i use virtualbox and run itunes in an xp install. so i am not of any help to you.  sorry.   althoguh, maybe this will help. in itunes, i remeber seeing a setting wehere you can 'enable disk mode' on the ipod. what taht means is, it'll still work as an ipod, but also as a usb drive. so you can dump files on it (that aren't music) if you want to. maybe if you have itunes set that, it'll show up as a drive.
[02:42] <m1ndvirus> KM0201: Did you bother to read it?
[02:42] <KM0201> m1ndvirus: did you even read it?
[02:42] <KM0201> m1ndvirus: readit many times
[02:42] <alloosh> sacarlson: yes. everything seem in place
[02:42] <nazgul> KM0201:yes, but I'm willing to try it again if you think it'll help
[02:42] <m1ndvirus> KM0201: I just said I use Banshee to read off my iPod.
[02:42] <zaery> LOL, you both asked eachother the same question at the same time XD
[02:42] <m1ndvirus> I don't need help choosing a program.
[02:42] <m1ndvirus> I need troubleshooting help.
[02:43] <sacarlson> alloosh: do you have mysql also installed?
[02:43] <m1ndvirus> My problem is much deeper than some canned template page.
[02:43] <LA9KSA> When on can't power off a macbook, what do?
[02:43] <alloosh> sacarlson: no, I don't need it
[02:43] <neur0n> hello
[02:43] <KM0201> LA9KSA: try sudo shutdown -h now
[02:43] <zaery> m1ndvirus, does banshee recognize that it's an iPod, even if ubuntu doesn't?
[02:43] <alloosh> I have postgres
[02:43] <m1ndvirus> zaery: No.
[02:43] <sacarlson> alloosh: what application do you plan to run?
[02:44] <LA9KSA> KM0201: Computer has frozen on tux screen, can't get it off with pressing I/O button
[02:44] <KM0201> nazgul: what broadcom were you trying to install again?
[02:44] <sacarlson> alloosh: in you server?
[02:44] <alloosh> sacarlson: php script that can echo "hellp";
[02:44] <zaery> m1ndvirus, what ipod/generation do you have?
[02:44] <m1ndvirus> zaery: That shouldn't matter as it just worked. Nano 4G.
[02:45] <randomuser> How do I change primary group of a user? http://pastebin.mozilla.org/926550
[02:45] <nazgul> KM0201:4306v3 I think, and its all installed and active, but the network isn't showing up
[02:45] <sacarlson> alloosh: have you tried a php file with this <?php phpinfo(); ?>
[02:45] <KM0201> nazgul: so you installed the b43 driver, right?...
[02:46] <nazgul> KM0201:yeah
[02:46] <Linda> how can i set user privileges to defaul ? is there a command line for tha ?
[02:46] <sacarlson> alloosh: like test.php  file with the line <?php phpinfo(); ?> in it
[02:46] <KM0201> nazgul: did you install the firmware?
[02:46] <sacarlson> alloosh: at the location /var/www/test.php
[02:46] <nazgul> KM0201:yes, I followed all the steps in the docs in order
[02:46] <ajwill> hi all, I need help, desparately, I have a computer and I'm currently dualbooting ubuntu and windows (10.10 and XP respectively) and I changed a few settings in grub, suddenly, it automatically boots my windows partition without even giving me the chance to select my ubuntu partition, how can I get into my ubuntu partition to change the settings back and run update-grub? (I have ubuntu rescue
[02:46] <ajwill> remix 10.10 and knoppix on two pendrives if that helps)
[02:46] <m1ndvirus> I can see my iPod's filesystem but Ubuntu doesn't recognize it as an iPod. Any help?
[02:47] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: Hold SHIFT on bootup.
[02:47] <KM0201> nazgul: ok, were you connected to the internet when you followed the instructions?
[02:47] <zaery> m1ndvirus, ubuntu recognizes it as a mass storage device, then?
[02:47] <ajwill> m1ndvirus: tried that, didnt work :)
[02:47] <m1ndvirus> zaery: No.
[02:47] <nazgul> KM0201:yes
[02:47] <zaery> it didnt recognize it at all?
[02:47] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: F2 over and over then,.
[02:47] <m1ndvirus> zaery: I had to manually mount it.
[02:47] <m1ndvirus> I changed /etc/fstab to accomodate.
[02:47] <shcherbak> hlzxy_: http://wikinewbie.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/rm-rf-ext4ecryptfs-undelete/ this is easiest method
[02:47] <alloosh> sacarlson: are you joking or something?
[02:47] <m1ndvirus> I'll see what happens when I comment out the line.
[02:48] <sacarlson> alloosh: so it works?  http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=479.0
[02:48] <fixer> hello?
[02:48] <ajwill> m1ndvirus: lol F2 is the boot menu
[02:48] <zaery> m1ndvirus, after you mount it, can you see your music?
[02:48] <fixer> um I have a n00b problem
[02:48] <fixer> postresql is hosed
[02:48] <fixer> I apt get remove it
[02:48] <ajwill> m1ndvirus: wait wrong thing, not boot menu, system setup
[02:48] <fixer> and reinstall and its still hosed
[02:48] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: Depending on the BIOS, yes, but F2 was GRUB1's escape as well.
[02:48] <fixer> what the hell
[02:49] <FloodBot4> fixer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:49] <m1ndvirus> zaery: No.
[02:49] <alloosh> sacarlson: I am not just starting here, php is not PARSING, so please do not tell me to make a file and put phpinfo() in it
[02:49] <ajwill> m1ndvirus: this is grub2 :)
[02:49] <KM0201> fixer: uninstall it, then purge it, then reinstall it.
[02:49] <fixer> /etc/init.d/postgresql   does not exist
[02:49] <fixer> wtf
[02:49] <m1ndvirus> zaery: The only reason I have to believe that it works at all is that I can ls /media/henry (my iPod's mountpoint) and see iPod_Control and stuff.
[02:49] <hlzxy_> shcherbak: thanks ,I am trying cp it from other computer.  but seems failed
[02:49] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: Good luck then. I'm all out of ideas.
[02:49] <ghostnik11> i am trying to run a command that allows mkisofs to burn files over 4gb to a 4.7 gb dvd, as I have a udf bug that prevents me from burning files over 4gb to a 4.7 gb
[02:49] <fixer> i did
[02:49] <ghostnik11> dvd
[02:49] <sacarlson> alloosh: ok pastebin your php file and I will see I I can parse it
[02:49] <fixer> I DID THAT ALREADY
[02:49] <fixer> thats whats pissing me off
[02:50] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: What could very well be is Windows overwrote your MBR.
[02:50] <KM0201> fixer: i dunno, reinstall ubuntu..lol
[02:50] <ghostnik11> the command i am trying to run is this: mkisofs -allow-limited-size -udf -o ../2.iso capture002.dv
[02:50] <zaery> m1ndvirus: do you have another computer, possibly with another OS to try it on?
[02:50] <ghostnik11> i got the command from this web page: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=352386
[02:50] <m1ndvirus> zaery: Yes. It works on Ubuntu.
[02:50] <ajwill> m1ndvirus: no, I changed some settings and made it so it automatically boots windows, I meant to have a few seconds to load the grub menu to boot ubuntu but I forgot and rebooted, now I cant boot ubuntu to get to it
[02:50] <alloosh> sacarlson: are you even listening to me? here is my php file <?php echo "hello"; ?>  of course you can parse it if you have stuff running
[02:51] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: Use a LiveCD.
[02:51] <ajwill> m1ndvirus: I toldja I have ubuntu rescue remix 10.10
[02:51] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: Did not see that.
[02:51] <fixer> root@ubuntu:/opt/metasploit3/msf3/external/pcaprub# /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
[02:51] <fixer> bash: /etc/init.d/postgresql: No such file or directory
[02:51] <fixer> what kind of shit is this
[02:51] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: Boot off of that, fuck with shit in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/*
[02:51] <IdleOne> !language | fixer
[02:52] <fixer> mmhmm
[02:52] <ajwill> m1ndvirus: I can boot the rescue remix, and edit the file, but I need to be able to run update-grub
[02:52] <h00k> !language | m1ndvirus
[02:52] <m1ndvirus> ajwill: So chroot.
[02:53] <fixer> lol
[02:53] <sacarlson> alloosh: your right your hello is fine as seen here: http://freenet.surething.biz/testphp.php
[02:54] <zaery> m1ndvirus, did you install/uninstall/update anything between when you could access your ipod and now?
[02:54] <sacarlson> alloosh: what method did you use to install php and apache2?
[02:54] <m1ndvirus> zaery: No idea.
[02:55] <nesv> fixer: I am pretty sure it's not "postgresql", but rather "postgresql-8.4".
[02:55] <jon8> when i do, apt-get remove <package> .. I get a list of things that are no longer required because i'm no longer using a package.. however i want to keep those "other" packages, how do I get them to stop being listed when using apt-get in the future?
[02:56] <fixer> FUCK POSTGRESQL IT WONT FUCKING RUN, APT-GET INSTALL POSTGRESQL DOES NOT FIX THE FUCKING PROBLEM, FUCK YOU
[02:56] <kwtm> >sigh< Yeah, fixer, but I guess spouting curse words in all caps on this channel will magically make your problem disappear.  Thanks, h00k
[02:57]  * KM0201 thinks someone was off his meds
[02:57] <ajwill> KM0201: totally agree.
[02:57] <m1ndvirus> zaery: "Resetting" my iPod fixed it, it seems.
[02:58] <mddtsk> Hey friends.
[02:58] <mddtsk> My init has become lost after trying a xubuntu LiveCD
[02:59] <kwtm> jon8: Did your question get answered?
[02:59] <jon8> no
[03:00] <jon8> did i explain it right? do you understand what i mean?
[03:00] <kwtm> jon8: When you apt-get remove <package>, it only tells you what is no longer required, but apt-get does not actually get rid of those packages.  If you want to keep those packages, then just ignore the message.
[03:00] <jon8> kwtm right.. i know they dont get removed.. and that its recommended to remove them..
[03:00] <jon8> kwtm my question is, though.. how can i get rid of the message regarding those packages?
[03:01] <kwtm> jon8: Oh, you don't want the message?  I dunno... you want to filter it? (through grep or sed or something?)
[03:01] <jon8> kwtm nah, i just want to tell apt-get that those packages are ok.. without removing them and re-installing them
[03:01] <kwtm> jon8: The other thing you can do, I think, is apt-get install those packages.  That way, if I understand correctly (not sure), Ubuntu marks those packages as "installed because the user specifically wanted them installed" as opposed to "installed because they were necessary for another package".
[03:02] <jon8> yeah, maybe that will work
[03:02] <jon8> ill figure it out one way or another
[03:02] <kwtm> jon8: Okay.  I think you can apt-get install (without removing).  Apt-get will tell you that those packages are already installed, but (I think) it will change the mark so it knows you specifically want them installed.
[03:02] <charlesno> what are the risks of installing a program from the tar rather than getting a package?
[03:02] <ajwill> m1ndvirus: still not working, I tried running update-grub after chrooting into my ubuntu pc and it says cannot find a device for /(is /dev mounted?).
[03:02] <jon8> charlesno if you know what you're doing, the none.
[03:02] <Ahrotahntee> anyone know of a way to prevent remote execution with OpenSSH? I have a user using it to evade utmp logs
[03:03] <kwtm> charlesno: The qualitative risks are that it might not work properly , or break something.  Quantitative risk (the actual probability) depends on what package.  E.g reputable source? Etc.
[03:03] <guest32> hello, when i rebooted my ubuntu, when i arrived in the login menu, the keyboard and mouse stopped to works, why?
[03:03] <charlesno> could you expound on the risks it can break something? how exactly could that occur?
[03:05] <jon8> kwtm, GOOD IDEA! Doing apt-get install <all those packages here> spit out, "already installed, already installed, etc".. then that "warning" message saying they were no longer required went away :)
[03:05] <ghostnik11> can anyone help or have been able to fix this udf bug in ubuntu that doesn't allow you to burn files over 4gb
[03:05] <ajwill> hi all, I have a probelm, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 maverik and windows XP on one comp, I have it dualbooting and I accidentally changed some settings the wrong way (as in meant to change them to something different) and I need to run update-grub from my ubuntu partition, however grub isnt showing up (even with holding F2 as I am running grub2) and the shift command is disabled as well, I do
[03:05] <ajwill> have ubuntu rescue remix 10.10, help??
[03:05] <jon8> kwtm very good idea!
[03:05] <kwtm> charlesno: There's the risk of it not being reliable, so it contains a trojan, etc.  Separately, if something else depends on your tar package, that something else might not work.  Also, your package may depend on another faulty package (might be your manual install: "I'll manually install this dependency so my tar will work" and then that package is flawed, etc.)
[03:05] <kwtm> jon8: Glad it worked!
[03:05] <hobodave> hey guys
[03:05] <mddtsk> Anyone have experience fixing kernel panics? I've run into one recently, and would enjoy support.
[03:05] <mddtsk> hey
[03:06] <jon8> mddtsk just to be funny, my popcorn kernel panic in the microwave.. i ended up eating it :)
[03:06] <kwtm> mddtsk: What!??  Oh god, oh my god, no no !  What do I do now?  Help me help me --- <pops Valium>  ahhh, no longer panicking.  Hmmmm, so, what were you asking?
[03:06] <jon8> mddtsk but i know you're asking a serious question.. i just had to say it :P
[03:06] <kwtm> mddtsk: just joking
[03:06] <mddtsk> : P
[03:06] <jon8> haha, we both joked with him, not good!
[03:07] <charlesno> I see, thank you. I bring this up because I recently had trouble getting the Eclipse package to work correctly. I then dled the tar.gz Eclipse file and with 2 commands in the shell managed to get it working flawlessly
[03:07] <kwtm> jon8: Hey! Your joke interfered with my joke!!  Didn't you check /var/joke/.lock first???
[03:07] <jon8> kwtm i didnt
[03:07] <istevenmon> hi guys, isn't it the way to send a mail from console end it with a period in an new line?
[03:07] <jon8> kwtm i'll do that next time :)
[03:07] <hobodave> I just had an issue with my ubuntu server losing its static IP address and picking up a DHCP address. Could someone help me figure out what's going on here? I'm looking at syslog history and it looks like out of nowhere on Jan 7 it dhclient started sending DHCPREQUESTs to our DHCP server this continued non stop until finally today it was issued a DHCP address which seems to have replaced the static. I have double check
[03:07] <hobodave> ed /etc/network/interfaces and confirmed the static IP is properly configured.
[03:08] <mddtsk> Well, I have ubuntu 10.10 installed on my lappy.  I recently tried a xubuntu liveCD, and when I left that and tried to reboot I'm met with a message telling my my init is missing
[03:08] <ajwill> hi all, I have a probelm, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 maverik and windows XP on one comp, I have it dualbooting and I accidentally changed some settings the wrong way (as in meant to change them to something different) and I need to run update-grub from my ubuntu partition, however grub isnt showing up (even with holding F2 as I am running grub2) and the shift command is disabled as well, I do
[03:08] <ajwill> have ubuntu rescue remix 10.10, help??
[03:08] <jon8> hobodave, do you have a router that declares local ip addresses using dhcp?
[03:08] <kwtm> charlesno: If your package is already installed and known to work, then I think it's okay.  Watch out for when you upgrade or install on a similar system and have to go through the same manual procedure.
[03:08] <Blueleaf> l
[03:08] <dabukalam> Maverick installations keep hanging at the "Preparing" stage, where it checks if power, internet etc. and has happened to me several times, bug or what?
[03:09] <lolo> uhhu
[03:09] <hobodave> jon8: we have a DHCP server on our network. It is not a router.
[03:09] <charlesno> ktwm: yeah good call. thanks for the responses
[03:09] <charlesno> kwtm*
[03:09] <jon8> hobodave but you have a DHCP server.. is the mac address of the laptop assigned a specific LAN IP?
[03:09] <kwtm> hobodave: Disagree with jon8; sounds like it's your own computer that's requesting DHCP, so do you have NetworkManager or something running which tries to automatically "help" you by looking for a DHCP address?
[03:09] <jon8> hobodave maybe i'm not the best guy to be talking to .. Ill let someone else help you ;)
[03:09] <jon8> ^^ exactly
[03:09] <hobodave> ... laptop?
[03:10] <jon8> hobodave misstyped ;)
[03:10] <jon8> kwtm is the man, he'll help you ;)
[03:10] <Guest5576> chk
[03:10] <kwtm> charlesno: Suggest documenting how you manually installed it NOW before you forget.  Next time you need that info might be a few years from now.  Happened to me (I was using a deprecated Python XML package.)
[03:10] <hobodave> kwtm: ps aux | grep -i network shows nothing
[03:10] <hobodave> this server has been working just fine for months
[03:10] <hobodave> on Jan 7 this started: https://gist.github.com/775630
[03:10] <Ahrotahntee> I have a user evading utmp logs (so, not showing up on 'last', or properly on 'who'); Anyone have any ideas how this is done, and how it might be resolved?
[03:11] <kwtm> hobodave: Gotta figure out what process is launching that dhclient ... is your error reproducible, or one-time?  Can you just kill the dhclient and be done with it?
[03:11] <nazgul> OK back
[03:11] <randomuser> anyone, please say how to deletee user 'username' from group 'username' here,  http://pastebin.mozilla.org/926550 , I have no idea how to set the primary group
[03:11] <mddtsk> Is it possible to acces an encrypted partition from a liveCD?
[03:11] <hobodave> kwtm: I just found it today, I'm concerned there might have been a security breach
[03:11] <randomuser> delete
[03:12] <hobodave> except htis box has no external addresses
[03:12] <phoenix_> hi
[03:12] <hobodave> kwtm: should I just kill the dhclient?
[03:12] <kwtm> Oh, $CREATOR, this GParted is going to take till next morning!!  In the time it takes to finish, I could *buy* a new computer and install Ubuntu on it and be more productive ... :(
[03:12] <kwtm> hobodave: Wait, dhclient is RUNNING right now?
[03:13] <hobodave> kwtm: yes
[03:13] <hobodave> dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0
[03:13] <kwtm> hobodave: Do a "ps -ef | grep dhclient" and see what process started it.
[03:13] <hobodave> pid 1
[03:13] <hobodave> this is weird, this box has an uptime of 99 days
[03:14] <hobodave> no dhclient entries prior to what I gisted
[03:14] <kwtm> hobodave: Warning: I am *not* the person to talk to about (potential) security breaches.  This is far more serious and you are basically trying to solve a problem that can fight back.
[03:14] <hobodave> kwtm: well lets assume it isn't a security breach for now
[03:14] <hobodave> lastlog shows I'm the only user who has ever logged in via ssh
[03:15] <kwtm> hobodave: What I would do in your stead, given my own limited knowledge, is fix the problem so that it works, and then install intrusion detection system like tripwire or something.  Either reinstall server completely (if you've been rooted, nothing will detect this) or install it on some other computer that you bring onto the network.
[03:15] <victorhugo289> hello
[03:15] <victorhugo289> Excuse me, what network am I supposed to be????
[03:16] <victorhugo289> Irc.freenode.net?????
[03:16] <hobodave> ...
[03:16] <hobodave> insufficient question marks to provide adequate answer
[03:16] <victorhugo289> jajaja
[03:16] <kwtm> hobodave: But you either decide to install a robust anti-rooting setup, or not at all, because there's no halfway with rooting.  (Installing "nothing" may be justified, so I'm not saying you must arm yourself to the teeth.)
[03:16] <victorhugo289> Tell me, please, is this Irc.freenode.net?
[03:16] <hobodave> kwtm: ok forget security
[03:17] <hobodave> what could have started this ?
[03:17] <kwtm> hobodave: But installing halfway is the same as installing nothing so don't bother.  This applies to rooting; if you have traces of other intrusions, then that's better.  But no traces means rooting so all or nothing.
[03:17] <hobodave> sigh
[03:17] <kwtm> hobodave: So, if you decide no (additional) security, then, yeah, kill dhclient and you'll be done.
[03:17] <victorhugo289> What am I supposed to write on the 'Network' box in Launchpad???
[03:17] <kwtm> hobodave: Not sure... maybe some Ubuntu package that decided that "the default is dhclient, so of course EVERYONE MUST be using dhclient!!!" or some other dumb assumption.
[03:18] <victorhugo289> My nickname is Victorhugo289
[03:18] <victorhugo289> but i don't know my network
[03:18] <hobodave> victorhugo289: this is not the appropriate place to teach you how to use the internet
[03:18] <canon> lol
[03:18] <hobodave> try /join #freenode
[03:18] <victorhugo289> I am learning. I chose server: #Ubuntu when I came in here.
[03:18] <kwtm> victorhugo289: What question are you trying to answer?  If you're signing up to launchpad, isn't "network" just an optional thing you can fill out, like "AOL" or "(none)" or something?
[03:19] <victorhugo289> I installed this Xchat just yesterday
[03:19] <canon> victorhugo289: where do you want to be?
[03:19] <kwtm> What is "Launchpad", anyway?  Is that on the Ubuntu website, or is that a program that runs on your computer?
[03:19] <hobodave> ok I must leave this channel before I catch the stupid bug
[03:19] <hobodave> thanks kwtm
[03:19] <kwtm> hobodave: See ya
[03:19] <victorhugo289> no Kwtm, you have to put something in there, like when you put jabber.org in the server field
[03:20] <kwtm> victorhugo289: Okay... sorry, must be an Ubuntu thing.  I use Kubuntu, so I don't know what Launchpad is.
[03:20] <victorhugo289> I am not stupid, I'm a newbie, but I'm sure you didn't mean me.
[03:20] <kwtm> victorhugo289: Never mind him; no one thinks you are stupid, but unfortunately a number of stupid people preceded you here ...
[03:21] <victorhugo289> Ah, ok, I use Ubuntu 10.10. I have Kubuntu, it's not much different. Besides Launchpad is like the Ubuntu One... ah yeah for Ubuntu.

[03:22] <naiad> Im looking to setup apt-cacher on my lan here, but for my laptop i'd like a way to fall back to live repo's if i don't happen to be on my home network.  do you know if that's possible without say testing for the network i'm on and changing out my repo files?
[03:22] <victorhugo289> Yeah, Ubottu, I want to use it to join the translators teams. Well thanks to all anyway.

[03:32] <kieppie> hi guys (& gal's). how's everyone doing on this fine day?
[03:32] <meway> hello I get a message that says This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only dtected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu. I wanted to make sure that this is because the system is 32 bit system. I'm not sure if thats it idk.
[03:33] <acalbaza> is there a way to show mouse click emphasis for screen recordings?
[03:33] <deww> meway: get the 32 bit version
[03:33] <meway> deww doing that now ^_^
[03:34] <resno> how do i find the path of the executable?
[03:34] <meway> but its strange I could have sworn it was a 64 bit system. Could it be something in the bios?
[03:34] <taunt> Im tryin to get wow working on ubuntu and I got everything figured out but.... Im supposed to add some lines to xorg.conf in order for it not to crash on startup.. but ubuntu doesnt use xorg.conf anymore.
[03:34] <taunt> anyone have any ideas?
[03:34] <deww> meway: when it boots later, look at /proc/cpuinfo
[03:34] <resno> taunt: youd have been luck talking with #winehq
[03:34] <redv> it does, you just have to create it taunt
[03:35] <taunt> i did
[03:35] <taunt> didnt seem to do anything tho
[03:35] <taunt> :/
[03:35] <meway> deww its a tyan thunder 2500, 933mhz Pentium 3 8gb ram....
[03:35] <strange> hey guys when i plugin a headphone my built in speakers dont disable anyone have any ideas?
[03:35] <meway> dual core*
[03:35] <redv> just curious, are you using ubuntu desktop taunt?
[03:36] <taunt> yes
[03:36] <redv> and you know you can launch WoW with -opengl in the parameter
[03:36] <taunt> desktop 32
[03:36] <redv> and it'll launch in opengl mode which works in wine
[03:36] <taunt> ya I have it in the conf file
[03:36] <meway> strange where are you plugging in your speakers and where are you plugging in your headphones?
[03:36] <deww> meway: pentium 3 didn't have 64 bit support.
[03:36] <meway> deww, than why does it have enough slots for 8gb ram support?
[03:36] <strange> meway, the speakers are built-in
[03:36] <taunt> redv can I pm u really quick?
[03:37] <deww> meway: probably because it's a server board.
[03:37] <redv> taunt: I'm not a linux expert I just go off of common sense so I probably can't be that big of a help
[03:37] <redv> are you using wine?
[03:37] <meway> deww i'm trying to install the server version
[03:37] <taunt> yeh
[03:37] <redv> and what video driver are you using?
[03:37] <meway> deww, 32 bit server supports 8g ram?
[03:37] <kinks> it appears that when I run a program on a second x server, it can't access the sound card at all - how can I fix this?
[03:37] <deww> not sure about that, guess you'll find out
[03:38] <meway> I guess XD
[03:38] <kinks> specifically, I am running nexuiz on a separate display so that I can switch back and forth
[03:38] <kwtm> naiad: Did your question get answered?
[03:38] <meway> in 7 min
[03:38] <us3r> hey guys.. is there anyone who can tell me how to put down the fan sound in ubuntu ? Under Win7 my fan is very quiet but in Ubuntu 10.10 its very loud (running all the time) .. I dont know what to do..
[03:38] <naiad> kwtm, don't think so
[03:38] <deww> meway: i think you need a kernel that supports it, maybe that kernel does
[03:38] <meway> sooo whos used ubuntu server edition that can help me get started. I never have
[03:38] <kieppie> I have a 1TB HDD I've not used for a while (think I was pondering using it for backups), but when I plugged it in, fdisk reports there is no valid partition table. I think I've loaded data on there, so I want to check it before I blow it. Is there a way to best-guess & force a mount of the disk?
[03:39] <kwtm> naiad: If I understand correctly, you can set up more than one source for your repositories --just add the other repositories from home network and also the ("real") Internet repos, and it will fall back on the other if one is not found.
[03:39] <kwtm> naiad: However, I don't know how to tell it to "first try the home network ones, and only use the other ones if the home network ones are not available".
[03:39] <amlodipine> where can i find the official linux kernels stable for 10.10? i.e. the headers/images i'm trying to run 2.6.35-24 but it keeps giving me a blank screen / tried 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 but seems to be slow on my p3 512mb laptop
[03:40] <meway> kieppie, external?
[03:40] <naiad> kwtm, thanks :)
[03:40] <kwtm> naiad: I seem to recall there was some command for "test which repositories have the fastest response" but I can't remember if that was for synaptic, apt-get, or something else entirely that was not Ubuntu repositories.
[03:40] <kwtm> naiad: Are you really a mythical creature created from the foam splashing over the sea, and live in caves off the coast of Greece?
[03:41] <kwtm> naiad: Cuz I was wondering whether you get broadband in Poseidon's cave. :)
[03:41] <kieppie> meway: i think it was initially internal, but I now have it bolted into an external chassis. a HD caviar black 1TB, so I'm pretty confident the hardware should be sound
[03:41] <meway> kieppie, try restarting the system with it mounted?
[03:41] <bullgard4> us3r: Ubuntu has hardware specific solutions for your problem. Start by reading what "ACPI" means. Have a look at /proc/ acpi/fan
[03:42] <bullgard4> us3r: Ubuntu has hardware specific solutions for your problem. Start by reading what "ACPI" means. Have a look at /proc/acpi/fan
[03:42] <kieppie> meway: what good will that do? what are you hypothesising?
[03:42] <meway> maybe its not reading the port.
[03:42] <meway> kieppie, ^
[03:43] <meway> kieppie, I have had the issue its worked for me.
[03:43] <kieppie> what? the USB port? I've tried it with a different host too
[03:43] <kieppie> meway: ^^
[03:44] <meway> kieppie, its worth a shot to restart with it mounted :p
[03:44] <kieppie> ok. I'll try, thanks. reporting back in a sec...
[03:44] <plum> hey guys
[03:45] <plum> i tried to sync with a github repo yesterday but now i want to delete it
[03:45] <kwtm> Good grief!!  After 2 hours of GParted fiddling with my partition, now it reports: "Okay, simulation worked.  Now we're going to do it for real ... "  Laptop computers will be obsolete by the time GParted gets done with this laptop's hd.... :(
[03:45] <plum> how can i remove where it was installed?
[03:46] <meway> plum, #gitorious
[03:46] <plum> thank you :)]
[03:46] <wildintellect> anynone know if you can add both deb and deb-src from a ppa with apt-add?
[03:46] <us3r> bullgard4: thx for your answer. isnt there any program for ubuntu like speedfan for windows which can put down the fan speed when cpu isnt in use ?
[03:47] <wildintellect> us3r, there are some apps that let you control the fans
[03:48] <us3r> wildintellect: can u tell me some ?
[03:48] <us3r> or a good one :)
[03:48] <cecati24> sds
[03:49] <cecati24> prueba
[03:49] <wildintellect> us3r, I haven't used any on ubuntu but I see fancontrol in the rpos
[03:49] <kieppie> meway: host is rebooted, but still no partition
[03:50] <thiefy> kwtm,  needs six tacos. he has been helping people for the last 8 hours.

[03:53] <jshmoe24> @ anyone I need someone who has about 5-7 minutes to help me get may hal daemon working, for some reason it's not picking up my dv+- in my /cdrom or /media directories and I just need someone who would know how to restart hal daemon. I have already tried sudo /etc/init.d/hald restart and that doesn't work so im stuck ;( Any good enough?
[03:53] <stever> I need help
[03:53] <stever> I'm a rookie who is completely lost
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> i think i ran a bad command, can anyone give me a hand?
[03:54] <kieppie> stever: aren't we all?
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> i deleted the /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> file
[03:54] <stever> I was running the network manager applet
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> and now whenever i try to boot, it sets me to low graphics mode
[03:54] <stever> then I started messin with stuff and I cant find it again
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> and i can't even get that, all i can do is login terminal
[03:54] <jshmoe24> what doe you need help with stever?
[03:54] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: that file shouldn't affect your graphics card...
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> i know, im confused to
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> but the second i rm -rf'd it
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> blacked out my screen
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> and set me to that
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> im confused
[03:55] <stever> jshmoe
[03:56] <jshmoe24> tiofaidharlaif you fo the command -rm -rf'd it that means you just completely just erased your partition completly
[03:56] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: /var/lib/dpkg/lock just keeps one process at a time running dpkg - it should be able to be deleted without an issue - I would look for another cause
[03:56] <stever> how do I get the network manager applet back and on my panel again
[03:56] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: what would you reccommend doing? i'd kind of a novice in this respect
[03:57] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: what else did you change?  what were you doing that led you to delete the dpkg lock file?
[03:57] <Beiita> VPN problems :/
[03:57] <jshmoe24> Now you are going to have to reinstall ubuntu 10.10 or whatever linux you use by buring an image of your linux and the putting it onto a cd then rerun the installer
[03:57] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: i ran this
[03:57] <tiocfaidharla> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:57] <rk_> does anybody being able to have hdmi sound working?
[03:57] <Beiita> "No valid VPN secrets" wtf?
[03:58] <tiocfaidharla> and i closed it during the process, bc it wasn't working
[03:58] <stever> If I reinstall the newest ubuntu, what happens to my files? anything?
[03:58] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: ah...
[03:58] <tiocfaidharla> it earlier said something about not booting to a dependency based something?
[03:58] <jshmoe24> how can you still sudo update && sudo apt-get upgrade if you just rm rf'd? that doesn't make sense
[03:58] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: are you at the terminal?
[03:58] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: yep
[03:59] <tiocfaidharla> thanks so much for helping
[03:59] <jshmoe24> @tiocfariharla, read my last post
[03:59] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: okay - try 'sudo apt-get -f install' - that should attempt to fix any broken packages
[03:59] <yeats> jshmoe24: he just deleted the lockfile - nothing else
[04:00] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: ok, thanks a lot. when this is done, should i just turn off the computer and try to start it again?
[04:00] <stever> I don't think I'm saavy enough to be running this
[04:00] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: depends on how it goes... does it seem to be working?
[04:00] <paq7512> do you alll know how i can save my gpu fan settings nvidia-settings on startup???
[04:01] <doc|home> tiocfaidharla: you mispelt your nick
[04:01] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: i think so, it keeps spitting out text
[04:01] <doc|home> er, sorry, misread, ignore me :/
[04:01] <tiocfaidharla> dochome: really?
[04:01] <doc|home> tiocfaidharla: no :)

[04:02]  * doc|home shuts up
[04:03] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: now i'm back at nick@nicklaptop:~$
[04:03] <tiocfaidharla> what should i try now?
[04:03] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: okay, that would indicate success...  try a reboot
[04:03] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: should i type something first, or just turn off the computer?
[04:03] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: 'sudo reboot' or 'sudo shutdown -r now'
[04:03] <jshmoe24> Can i get help with restarting hal daemon while running on ubuntu 10.10 x86 ? Anyone?
[04:03] <sacarlson> mayank_: that's weird, my old usb flash had switches on them to write protect but I haven't seen one with those in some time, a small switch on the side?
[04:04] <jshmoe24> is there a support forum for ubuntu
[04:04] <jshmoe24> ?
[04:04] <jshmoe24> *
[04:04] <tiocfaidharla> jshmoe24: ubuntuforums.org
[04:05] <jshmoe24> right but for irc
[04:05] <yeats> jshmoe24: this is it ;-)
[04:05] <majnoon> <--remembers when 10 MB was a huge hard drive
[04:05] <jshmoe24> ok  yeats
[04:05] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: i tried, and it said something like "welcome to grub" and it gave me a choice of a few, and i slected the first, it was something to the tune of  generic, and now im getting a blank black screen
[04:06] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: okay, reboot try selecting one of the other kernels from the GRUB menu
[04:06] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: it's possible the newer kernel broke something
[04:06] <majnoon> there USUALY is a "failsafe" option also
[04:06] <jshmoe24> @yeats,  how do i restart my hal daemon while using ubuntu meerkat x86 10.10?
[04:07] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: i booted to one of the recovery files, and it asked me for my root password, now it's just giving me a root command line
[04:07] <yeats> jshmoe24: sorry - I'm not familiar with HAL...  I would think it would be something like 'sudo service hal restart'
[04:08] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: try a non-recovery one
[04:09] <mayank_> hi can anyone help me my pendrive had been write protected i tried formatting it but nothing is happening
[04:09] <rusivi> !forums | jshmoe24
[04:09] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: now it's giving me something it's shown me before, just the ubuntu boot page (purple background, ubuntu, dots that are orange but turning white) but it just stays like that for upwards of ten minutes
[04:10] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: hmmm
[04:10] <illuminaris> Ubuntu 11.04 / WINE 1.2.1 - WOW is running at 1 FPS (ATI Radeon 9800 PRO) I've played it with this same card in the past with no problems when there was proprietary driver support using Envy. I started it up in OpenGL mode and it crashed at character load. I've been running it in Direct3D but it only has 1-2 FPS at lowest possible graphic settings. Please advise.
[04:11] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: when did you start having problems with your system?
[04:11] <sacarlson> mayank_: I guess you didn't find the micro switch on the side of your pendrive,  try provide us with the chip type with the command lsusb
[04:11] <mayank_> hi can anyone help me my pendrive had been write protected i tried formatting it but nothing is happening
[04:11] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: the second i ran the command that deleted the lock
[04:11] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: so maybe two hours ago
[04:12] <mayank_> i m newbie so plz tell me the procedure whats lsusb
[04:12] <sacarlson> mayank_: do you know how to open a terminal?
[04:12] <mayank_> yes i knw how to open terminal what after that?
[04:13] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: not sure what to suggest...
[04:13] <sacarlson> mayank_: then type lsusb
[04:13] <mayank_> ok i have done that wt now?
[04:13] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: hmmm, ok. is there anyway to make a bootable usb drive from a terminal?
[04:14] <sacarlson> mayank_:  do you see a line with your pendrive in it?
[04:14] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: I mean, you can look in your system logs (I'd start with /var/log/messages), but something got borked in the interrupted upgrade
[04:14] <mayank_> yes this one......Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0951:1607 Kingston Technology DataTraveler 100
[04:15] <sacarlson> mayank_:   ok let me check it out
[04:15] <mayank_> ok
[04:15] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: there is a way, but if you can use another computer to do so (even Windows with UNetBootin) that would be better
[04:15] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: nah, i've not got much that's important on it, really. is there away to do a system reinstall? the problem being the only other comp i've got access to is a mac with like 300 megs of space left
[04:16] <jasono> Hello.
[04:16] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: ah, I see...
[04:16] <jasono> Can someone please help me install Java SE 6 on Ubuntu?
[04:17] <KM0201> !java | jasono
[04:17] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: so can you boot in with low graphics mode?  the Startup Disk Creator program is very easy
[04:17] <jasono> ubottu Thank you.
[04:17] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: nah, i can't, unless they're a way to do it from terminal
[04:17] <KM0201> !thanks | jasono
[04:18] <usr_> hello, is it possible to see the behavior of a program when I run it from terminal???. Something similar as looking at the code created by a macro in any ms office application.
[04:18] <breadcrumb> fd
[04:18] <stever> I have a question
[04:19] <jshmoe24> @yeats, how do i restart my thxhal daemon while using ubuntu meerkat x86 10.10?
[04:19] <jasono> ubottu I know. THat's cool. Cool you were programmed to say that. What do you run on?
[04:19] <cablop> the latest kernel is driving me crazy, sometimes it hibernates, sometimes just not
[04:19] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB%20Installation%20Media - scroll down to "Creating bootable USB manually"
[04:19] <jasono> ubottu Hi
[04:19] <cablop> would i change the hibernate module or something?
[04:19] <stever> when I run on the Ubuntu side, I can find files saved on the windows portion, but not vice-versa
[04:20] <jshmoe24> thx guys having a problem hith hal daemon right now so cant see what im typing but thank you
[04:20] <yeats> jshmoe24: don't know - like I said before - sorry
[04:20] <stever> when I run on the Ubuntu side, I can find files saved on the Windows side, but not vice-versa
[04:20] <stever> someone help
[04:20] <yeats> !bot | jasono
[04:21] <cablop> i saw there's one hibernation method, dunno its name it's the default, it is also hibernate|wswup or sth like that and it is also tuxonice... any recommendation?
[04:21] <rusivi> usr_: If your looking to debug MS Office you should ask in #dev.openoffice.org as they are focused on just that
[04:21] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: thanks, there's one part i'm confused about: how do i download the actual files using just the command line?
[04:21] <rusivi> usr_: They try to replicate MS Office features in openoffice.org
[04:21] <stever> anyone know how to do that?
[04:22] <yeats> stever: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-read-ext3ext4-linux-partition-from-windows-7.html <-- see this
[04:22] <jasono> yeats I know but fascinating.
[04:22] <stever> thanks
[04:22] <usr_> rusivi, no, not precisely. I need to convert some documents but it is so extensive that I need to automate the process. I use an application that can be called from terminal. Just by opening a file and saving it with a different extension makes the conversion for me...
[04:22] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: you can do wget <URL of .iso file>
[04:23] <jshmoe24> so what channel do i go to for quick good answers on ubuntu commnds to restart hal daemon.
[04:23] <dabbill> i just installed 11.04, the normal desktop with the launcher on the left works fine, but the classic desktop wont allow me to change themes, the windows change but the menu bars dont change
[04:23] <jshmoe24> threre has to be a command line help ubuntu linux community around here somewhere
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> dabbill, ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:24] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: you can also use one of the text-based browsers - w3m, links, lynx
[04:24] <jshmoe24> ru talking 2me?
[04:24] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: ah, thank you!
[04:24] <usr_> is 11.04 a beta?
[04:24] <jshmoe24> @ZykoticK9
[04:24] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: sure
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> usr_, yes
[04:25] <mayank_> scarlson...?/
[04:25] <uBUXUBu> m
[04:26] <jshmoe24> @ ZykoticK9> was that channel suggested for too?
[04:26] <Blue1> ZykoticK9: does 11.04 have the unity interface, or is gnome still an option?
[04:26] <ZykoticK9> jshmoe24, #ubuntu+1 is the alpha/beta channel
[04:26] <ZykoticK9> Blue1, "classic" Gnome is still an option
[04:26] <Blue1> ZykoticK9: thanks I might d/l it and give it a shot.

[04:28] <mayank_> wer do i find gparted n this
[04:29] <KM0201> Blueleaf: what driver?
[04:29] <leenux> Blue1: i know but this is support-oriented... since i was curious if theres any issues to know about
[04:29] <frankcox777> what driver do you need Blue?
[04:29] <AbhiJit> Blueleaf, http://www.linux-drivers.org/
[04:29] <Blueleaf> A windows driver for my toshiba laptop wi fi
[04:29] <Blue1> leenux: than..what is the question?
[04:29] <leenux> i'm more used to running kde but i am okay to install gnome .... just wondered if anyone compared the two
[04:29] <KM0201> Blueleaf: whats your toshibas wireless device?
[04:29] <bullgard4> Synaptic Maverick: "Banshee is a media management and playback application for the GNOME desktop, allowing users to import audio from CDs, search their library, create playlists of selections of their library, sync music to/from iPods and other media devices, play and manage video files and burn selections to a CD." What is here meant by »their library«?
[04:30] <jon8> is there away to automatically fetch updates to packages and write to a log file what was updated and when (FROM Command Line)
[04:30] <frankcox777> llenux-matter of preference-try both-keep one
[04:30] <jon8> I do not want to have to do apt-get update (and upgrade if available) every day
[04:30] <AbhiJit> leenux, gnome is more out of the box. kde can be highly configured as per user needs etc
[04:30] <rusivi> Blueleaf: I also have a Toshiba w/ an Atheros wifi works right out of the box on Karmic, Lucid, Maverick.
[04:30] <bullgard4> jon8: Yes.
[04:30] <dragonnutds> i just got ubuntu on my laptop, i was playing a game when my computer overheated, now i cant get a strange command line when i try to load ubuntu, can anybody help?
[04:30] <leenux> Blue1:  does running kaffeine, k3b and amarok, say, require a lot of kde dependencies in ubuntu?  am i better off running kubuntu if i like those apps?
[04:30] <Blue1> rusivi: I had issues with 10.04 let me see if I can find the post
[04:30] <AbhiJit> leenux, kde is more eye candy eye pleasent
[04:31] <jon8> bullgard4 care to elaborate? ;)
[04:31] <leenux> AbhiJit:  true... i like gnome but those three apps i mentioned, i like
[04:31] <AbhiJit> leenux, yes rurrning kde aps in gnome require all those kde libraries to be installed
[04:31] <leenux> i think there's some good alternatives but i like k3b
[04:31] <AbhiJit> leenux, but you can easily install and use them
[04:31] <bullgard4> jon8: You better elaborate.
[04:31]  * KM0201 <3's Gnomebaker
[04:31] <AbhiJit> leenux, i am using k3b, quantaplus etc in my gnome
[04:31] <Blue1> leenux: i run k3b under gnome with no issues.  but yes it hauls in a lot of kde in the process.  I use guayadeque instead of amarok but that is a pref. issue
[04:31] <jon8> bullgard4 huh? you're the one that said yes.
[04:31] <yeats> leenux: you can use those apps in GNOME, but they won't be as pretty ;-)
[04:32] <Blue1> yeats: well said.
[04:32] <dragonnutds> my ubuntu died.... can anybody help?
[04:32] <leenux> yeats:  oh :)
[04:32] <leenux> i don't know what to do then :)
[04:32] <Blue1> dragonnutds: maybe a little more specific info?
[04:32] <dragonnutds> i just got ubuntu on my laptop, i was playing a game when my computer overheated, now i cant get a strange command line when i try to load ubuntu, can anybody help?
[04:32] <bullgard4> jon8: I have fully answered to the question which you have put here in this channel.
[04:32] <jon8> bullgard4 you said yes, but you didnt say how it is done.
[04:32] <leenux> do you think there's any difference in resources usage?
[04:32] <bullgard4> jon8: This is correct.
[04:32] <leenux> or neglible?
[04:33] <yeats> leenux: it's easy to run both side-by-side (though you might need to clean up your app menus)
[04:33] <Blue1> dragonnutds: well the simple question is did you let it cool down, and secondly what is the message?
[04:33] <sacarlson> mayank_: try read http://www.ehow.com/how_4929061_format-hard-drive-ubuntu.html
[04:33] <jon8> bullgard4 can you explain how it is done?
[04:33] <stever> who has about five minutes to help me out with a network manager issue
[04:33] <rusivi> dragonnutsds: May want to governor your CPU via CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor. My pc would always overheat unless I used it :D
[04:33] <AbhiJit> leenux, yes
[04:33] <leenux> clean up the app menus?
[04:34] <leenux> i read that kde 4.5 looks really good but i dunno
[04:34] <AbhiJit> leenux, kde willbe good on more powerful pc with a good gpu
[04:34] <dragonnutds> yes, it says somthing about a simplified grub and hitting tab for commandes, it did cool down, but i cant go and check the message because i would have to restart my computer to try to load it
[04:34] <leenux> like what gpu?
[04:34] <AbhiJit> leenux, gnome is fine for normal pcs
[04:34] <bullgard4> jon8: The command 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' will do that.
[04:34] <stever> seriously, just five minutes
[04:34] <leenux> i have a nvidia geforce 7950 gt... is it good enough?
[04:34] <AbhiJit> leenux, graphical procesing uint.
[04:34] <leenux> i have an intel quad core so i think its' good enough
[04:34] <leenux> right?
[04:34] <rusivi> dragonnutssds: My internal fan speed is not controllable by gnome sensors applet but some are, definitely check it out and if possible, run the fan at 100% all the time.
[04:34] <AbhiJit> leenux, yah i think so.more info in #kde or #kubuntu
[04:35] <yeats> leenux: if you install kubuntu-desktop, it will bring in all the KDE apps and put them in your GNOME menus - it's a matter of preference, but I like to keep the KDE apps out of my GNOME menus - that's all I meant ;-)
[04:35] <stever> yeats:  can you give me a hand when you are done
[04:35] <jon8> bullgard4 sigh.. yes, i know this, thats what i'm doing currently. I am wondering (and i already asked) if there was something i could turn on, that will automatically do that every day or so and write to a file what it did or didnt do.
[04:35] <leenux> yeats: oh... yes, that makes sense
[04:35] <Blue1> yeats:
[04:35] <dragonnutds> oh, my problem is not that it is still overheating, my problem is i cant load ubuntu
[04:35] <AbhiJit> leenux, if possible first try htis on virtual box. install ubuntu and in htat instll kde and see how it looks and runs
[04:35] <yeats> stever: just ask your question in channel and someone will answer (if they know)
[04:35] <frankcox777> I set up linux mint 9 and then ubuntu 10.10 on a fellows acer laptop and when you try to watch videos in Hulu the audio plays strangely. Basically it plays the audio twice with a few seconds between. No problems anywhere else we have tried-any ideas?
[04:35] <Blueleaf> 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
[04:35] <KM0201> Blueleaf: thats almost all devices.
[04:36] <KM0201> what chipset
[04:36] <leenux> AbhiJit: okay
[04:36] <stever> I can't get the network manager to run
[04:36] <leenux> how much disk space do i need to do that?
[04:36] <thesheff17> would anyone suggest a quad port video card that works with ubuntu?
[04:36] <Blue1> dragonnutds: the easiest way to diagnose it would be to put in a live cd and see if it boots properly off of that - then we can go from there.
[04:36] <Blueleaf> hold on ill try to find chip set
[04:36] <AbhiJit> leenux, in virtual box 8gb is fine
[04:36] <KM0201> Blueleaf: answer my PM, i'll tryt o help you
[04:36] <dragonnutds> darn, then i have to use one of my dvds and burn one....
[04:36] <leenux> but, on virtualbox, it uses a 'virtual gpu' so i can't get true idea of gpu related performance, right?
[04:37] <AbhiJit> leenux, no idea.
[04:37] <leenux> Ahadiel:  so 30gb is enough?
[04:37] <Blue1> dragonnutds: ah well but idea I can think of -- and cd's are cheap enough
[04:37] <AbhiJit> :o
[04:37] <yeats> leenux: it would not be a good test of your GPU, no
[04:37] <goddard> I have been trying to setup an email server with some luck but an something that is out of most tutorials it seems is one vital aspect and that is how to setup the domain.  Can anyone enlighten me?
[04:37] <AbhiJit> leenux, 30gh? for virtual box? noooo 8 gb is enough
[04:37] <yeats> leenux: *but* it would let you see KDE up close ;-)
[04:37] <leenux> AbhiJit:  for the kubuntu or ubuntu partition
[04:38] <AbhiJit> leenux, both
[04:38] <leenux> and then dedicate 8gb to virtualbox?
[04:38] <bullgard4> jon8: If this little problem is causing you a sigh then you better see your psychologist for a treatment. --  The command will write to a file what it did. --  You should put the command in a cronjob in order that the command will be executed automatically.
[04:38] <leenux> kay
[04:38] <jon8> bullgard4 what file does it write to?
[04:38] <leenux> trying it in virtualbox is a good idea
[04:38] <dragonnutds> it seems to happen whenever a hard shutdown accures, i have a desktop that has ubuntu, and it did the same thing when it crashed durring a update, i figured it was because of the crashing during updating so i just reinstalled....
[04:39] <stever> how do i get network manager to work again?
[04:39] <leenux> i think virtualbox only lists ubuntu 10.10 for the os, can i use that one if i install kubuntu 10.10?
[04:39] <yeats> leenux: have you used virtualbox before?
[04:39] <leenux> the kubuntu channel is  quiet... is that a concern if i need to ask support questions?
[04:39] <jon8> bullgard4 n/m found it
[04:39] <AbhiJit> stever, what happen actually?
[04:39] <leenux> yeats: no, i haven't.....why?
[04:40] <AbhiJit> hi big_t
[04:40] <bullgard4> jon8: /var/log/dpkg.log
[04:40] <jon8> yeah
[04:40] <jon8> i found it thanks bud
[04:40] <jon8> i didnt know it logged what it did
[04:40] <jon8> i appriciate your time :)
[04:40] <bullgard4> jon8: Enjoy Ubuntu!
[04:40] <yeats> leenux: just wondering from your question...  virtualbox will allow you to install any OS you want - it just gives you a "fake" computer to run on - you're not tied to a version
[04:41] <stever> It was working fine, now even through the terminal I cant get it to come up
[04:41] <leenux> yeats: last time i looked at their homepage... you can select an os for your host
[04:41] <leenux> there's only ubuntu as a choice not kubuntu
[04:41] <yeats> leenux: virtualbox will run on any OS
[04:42] <yeats> leenux: oh - I understand now
[04:42] <yeats> leenux: yes - use Ubuntu
[04:42] <yeats> leenux: sorry :-)
[04:42] <leenux> then again, it's not really de specific
[04:43] <leenux> iirc
[04:43] <yeats> as far as apps go, Ubuntu = Kubuntu - it's the same OS underneath
[04:43] <leenux> i guess desktop environment doesn't matter with virtualbox?
[04:43] <yeats> leenux: right
[04:44] <leenux> hmmmmmmmm kay :
[04:44] <leenux> )
[04:44] <Blueleaf> i am back
[04:44] <sacarlson> leenux: the choices of operating system is only to setup a default profile with mem size and hard disks space,  the ubuntu will work for you other version in virtualbox
[04:44] <leenux> hey, yeats... i haven't used ubuntu for a while... last, i used was kubuntu 9.10
[04:45] <leenux> sacarlson: you've used it?
[04:45] <leenux> sacarlson:  i have 4gb of ram... is that enough?
[04:45] <mayank_> sacarlson nothing is happening
[04:45] <Bel_P> Is there a specific version of ubuntu for netbooks?
[04:45] <sacarlson> leenux: yes I have over 14 different things that run in it
[04:45] <leenux> sacarlson: how much ram should i dedicate?
[04:45] <leenux> do i need more ram?
[04:45] <AbhiJit> Bel_P, yes ubuntu netbook edition
[04:45] <ZykoticK9> Bel_P, yes UNE (Ubuntu Netbook Edition), personally I'd go with Desktop though
[04:46] <leenux> i have a quad core cpu but virtualbox is heavy on ram resources, right?
[04:46] <mayank_> the pen drive is getting opened in read only mode
[04:46] <sacarlson> mayank_: what number step in the procedure are you stuck on?
[04:46] <AbhiJit> Bel_P, http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook
[04:46] <koepi> good morning
[04:46] <frankcox777> Sorry to repost so soon but I have to leave soon, if anyone could help it would be appreciated.
[04:46] <frankcox777> I set up linux mint 9 and then ubuntu 10.10 on a fellows acer laptop and when you try to watch videos in Hulu the audio plays strangely. Basically it plays the audio twice with a few seconds between. No problems anywhere else we have tried-any ideas?
[04:46] <AbhiJit> leenux, how much ram you have?
[04:46] <leenux> AbhiJit:  4gb
[04:46] <leenux> i thought i said already ;)
[04:46] <AbhiJit> leenux, its enough for virtual box
[04:47] <sacarlson> leenux: on your hardware 4gb?  yes I run with 2gb hardware and the simulation I run about 512meg
[04:47] <leenux> sacarlson: oh, okay
[04:47] <leenux> sacarlson: the ubuntus use firefox, right?
[04:47] <mayank_> i opend the gparted then searched my device i tried formatting it bt still its nt happening
[04:48] <yeats> leenux: with 4 GB, you could push that up to 1GB for your guest without issues - probably even 2GB
[04:48] <sacarlson> leenux: I use firefox but there are options of other
[04:48] <leenux> i guess i have a specific support question about this... do you have to install 64-bit flash from adobe website or is it included in non-free repo?
[04:49] <leenux> yeats: right... but, i think i read it's hard to change the amount or at least, hard to raise it
[04:49] <leenux> increase it, rather... so if i set it to 512mb like sacarlson did, i think it's complicated to change to 1gb for e.g.?
[04:49] <yeats> leenux: nah - not hard, you can slide it up without a problem
[04:49] <yeats> leenux: I'd start with 1GB
[04:50] <leenux> sacarlson:  yes, i know, like chrome?  i am wondering about 64-bit flash, though, if you can use it or if you need to install outside of the repository
[04:50] <sacarlson> leenux:  I use the restricted package that includes flash and java and other codec needed for normal desktop pleasure https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[04:50] <leenux> sacarlson:  i know but does that include 64-bit flash or is it using 32-bit?
[04:51] <leenux> i am asking because i had a time with installing firefox in debian but they use iceweasel..anyway long story and i tried a firefox equivalent
[04:51] <mayank_> in this forum it is said to mark maximum partiton size bt m not getting any option here to set the maximum size
[04:51] <sacarlson> leenux: I had run 64 bit ubuntu in 2008 but I had problems with other things so I now run 32bit,  I don't recall how I setup flash back then
[04:51] <leenux> yes, 1gb is probably a good to start with, thanks for the tip
[04:51] <leenux> sacarlson: oh
[04:51] <leenux> sacarlson:  that's interesting... but, we should be able to run 64-bit nowadays, no? :)
[04:52] <quentusrex> Anyone know how someone can get started filling in and fixing the official documentation?
[04:52] <leenux> too bad no one else responded... no one likes my questions, maybe ;)   maybe i blab too much ?
[04:52] <AbhiJit> leenux, no problem for my 64 ubuntu these days
[04:52] <leenux> AbhiJit:  did you install 64-bit flash?
[04:52] <AbhiJit> quentusrex, please come in #ubuntu-docs
[04:52] <bullgard4> Synaptic Maverick: "Banshee is a media management and playback application for the GNOME desktop, allowing users to import audio from CDs, search their library, create playlists of selections of their library, sync music to/from iPods and other media devices, play and manage video files and burn selections to a CD." What is here meant by »their library«?
[04:53] <AbhiJit> no
[04:53] <AbhiJit> wait
[04:53] <c2tarun> AbhiJit: are you using 64 bit ubuntu or kubuntu? I am having no problem with ubuntu
[04:53] <sacarlson> leenux: I still see problems with 64bit,  the problems still out way the benifits for me,  as you have 4gb ram it might benifit you more
[04:53] <leenux> i know it's from restricted package repo... i remember that much... i am okay at google and i think for finding that or i'd ask here if necessary for hints
[04:53] <AbhiJit> c2tarun, 64 ubuntu
[04:53] <frankcox777> Thanks anyway
[04:53] <leenux> sacarlson: of course... yes, you are right... makes more sense to run 32-bit with only 2gb of ram...sorry...
[04:53] <AbhiJit> yeha
[04:54] <AbhiJit> quentusrex, hey come in #ubuntu-beginners-wiki
[04:54] <AbhiJit> quentusrex, ask there
[04:54] <sacarlson> leenux: I recall I had to run firefox in 32bit mode when I ran 64bit system with the added 32bit libs installed
[04:54] <bullgard4> !punctuation | AbhiJit
[04:55] <AbhiJit> bullgard4, i ddnt used many ? or !
[04:55] <sacarlson> leenux: I also never got my canon printer to work in 64bit and ended up running a 32 bit simulation in virtualbox just so I could print something
[04:55] <meway> clear
[04:56] <sacarlson> leenux: skype was another problem and the list went on.............
[04:56] <bullgard4> AbhiJit: You did press the Enter key too often.
[04:57] <AbhiJit> bullgard4, ok
[04:57] <tuxhack> guys.. anyone know indepth of mdadm ?
[04:57] <leenux> sacarlson: yes, i read about canon printers
[04:57] <leenux> didn't canon get new drivers for linux 64-bit, though?
[04:58] <leenux> sacarlson: yes, it makes sense then... definitely
[04:58] <tuxhack> i just had a crash on sda.. and the hosting ppl is replacing the faulty disk
[04:59] <sacarlson> leenux: by that time I already had my solutions so I"m not sure what has improved but I'm sure some things have goten better.
[04:59] <Bel_P> How would I insert hardware RAID drivers during the install?
[04:59] <jshmoe24>  how!@Anyone - I am an experiencecd linux users that needs just a second of help with commands having to do with repariing or restarting hal daemon while using a gnome terminal.
[04:59] <Bel_P> for a desktop x64 install
[04:59] <leenux> sacarlson: hopefully... i am going to try 10.10 soon... just haven't decided whether ubuntu or kubuntu but i have used kde usually ... i am more familiar with it
[04:59] <Northwoods> how can i find/look where my apache2 is installed ?
[04:59] <tuxhack> @Bel_P make sure your hardware RAID is not winraid
[05:00] <tuxhack> ie which uses software to simulate
[05:00] <sacarlson> leenux: I prefer gnome apps but that's just like you because I am more familure with them
[05:01] <tuxhack> i had one such thing on an IBM x335 eSeries.. which blew my brains..
[05:01] <bullgard4> jshmoe24: You better put a more specific question here in this channel, directing it to the audience at large.
[05:01] <jshmoe24> k
[05:01] <leenux> sacarlson: well, i am not sure if the gnome equivalents are as good, but, must-haves are k3b and i like amarok too when listening to music files
[05:01] <tuxhack> and finally came to know that the built in raid is not supported by linux.
[05:01] <ZykoticK9> jshmoe24, is "sudo hald --daemon=no" what you are looking for?  Isn't hal deprecated at this point?
[05:01] <leenux> also, kaffeine is pretty good...
[05:01] <leenux> but other than that, i am okay with gnome apps...
[05:02] <leenux> so, it's mostly 3 that are missing from gnome :)   i don't know how rhythmbox and brasero compare or if there's new choices
[05:02] <sacarlson> leenux: oh yes but I have those also k3b is a must have,
[05:02] <leenux> i'm not up to speed
[05:02] <sacarlson> leenux: you can mix and match different gnome and kde apps
[05:03] <leenux> i just thought that calling in all those other de libraries would bog things down but sounds like it's okay
[05:03] <jshmoe24> what does hal stand for and what does it mean. Would it cause my screen to mess up?
[05:03] <sacarlson> leenux: you just have both libs installed
[05:03] <ZykoticK9> jshmoe24, hal = hardware abstraction layer.  what are you actually trying to do?
[05:04] <leenux> sacarlson:  right... interesting... i haven't mixed before :).... not to much degree
[05:04] <mister_m> is bitchx still insecure?
[05:04] <KM0201> mister_m: even if its not, there's better irc clients
[05:04] <sacarlson> leenux: we now have 1 terabyte disk drives who cares if we blow up ubuntu into a 10 gig install
[05:04] <ZykoticK9> !bitchx | mister_m
[05:05] <leenux> sacarlson: true
[05:05] <mister_m> thanks
[05:05] <Blueleaf1> back again
[05:05] <dragonnutds> i am back, the boot disk loaded, and i got what the strange commandline says, the first sentince is "minimal BASH-like line editing is supported"
[05:05] <dragonnutds> anybody know what that means
[05:06] <william_> so im trying to recover a hard drive that was shut down mid OS install, now disk is not even recognized by the existing OS on the other disk. help?
[05:06] <jshmoe24> \\I am trying to get the commands that i need to restart hal daemon or hal on ubuntu 19-8-==\]'
[05:06] <xieter> hellow world
[05:06] <jshmoe24> I am trying to get the commands that i need to restart hal daemon or hal on ubuntu 10.`10 meerkat
[05:07] <dragonnutds> my computer overheated so it crashed, now when i try to load ubuntu instead of the menu i get this strange command line that starts with "minimal BASH-like line editing is supported," help?
[05:07] <ZykoticK9> jshmoe24, FYI hal was removed from 10.04LTS, i'm not sure of it's status in 10.10 at all.  Why are you trying to use hal?
[05:08] <william_> dragonnutds, sounds like the grub menu when it isnt able to find a parition
[05:08] <william_> er not partition, kernel
[05:08] <mechanate> I install zsh to try it out but i want to switch back to bash without uninstalling zsh.  How do I switch back
[05:08] <pluxhalp44> I set a folder to "share", but it doesn't show up in "network" on windows
[05:08] <dabbill> my icons and pannels wont change when clicking on other themes, even stock themes
[05:08] <mechanate> my shell in /etc/passwd is bash
[05:08] <dragonnutds> i didnt loose the kernal, did i?
[05:09] <ZykoticK9> mechanate, and if you log out/in do you get bash?
[05:09] <mechanate> ZykoticK9: nope
[05:09] <jshmoe24> well the apt-get keeps whining abought it everytime and also i labtop wont restart its like its in a infinite spin update procure or something.
[05:10] <william_> ive had an issue before where my MBR was jacked up, and so when i pulled into grub, it listed that particular line
[05:10] <william_> do you have any other kernel versions present?
[05:10] <ZykoticK9> mechanate, try "chsh" change shell in a terminal
[05:10] <dragonnutds> i dont think so, i am a newbie at ubuntu so i just got what the windows installer came with
[05:11] <pluxhalp44> I set a folder to "share", but it doesn't show up in "network" on windows
[05:11] <mechanate> ZykoticK9: chsh shows /bin/bash as active
[05:11] <william_> i remember the issue was fixed when reinstalling grub, it reset the MBR. This may or may not have anything to do with your issue, but maybe a start
[05:11] <ZykoticK9> mechanate, sorry i have no idea then.  good luck.
[05:12] <mechanate> ZykoticK9: thanks
[05:12] <william_> so im trying to recover a hard drive that was shut down mid OS install, now disk is not even recognized by the existing OS on the other disk. help?
[05:12] <bullgard4> Synaptic Maverick: "Banshee is a media management and playback application for the GNOME desktop, allowing users to import audio from CDs, search their library, create playlists of selections of their library, sync music to/from iPods and other media devices, play and manage video files and burn selections to a CD." Was ist hier gemeint mit »their library«?
[05:12] <dragonnutds> what is a grub and how do i reinstall it
[05:12] <MagusOTB> Does linux have an OSX style unarchiver that works on zip/rar/tgz? (i.e. all it does is extract the archive to a directory with the same name as the archive had)
[05:13] <william_> grub is a program that finds the kernel after boot. can you get to a root prompt from your screen?
[05:13] <IdleOne> bullgard4: library = music directory in this case
[05:14] <MagusOTB> a CLI equivalent would be even better. I have a bunch of different types of archives that I need to extract and it's irritating that unrar/tar/unzip all have different interfaces, and I hate shell scripting.
[05:14] <william_> if you can get to a root prompt and 'apt-get install grub',
[05:14] <dragonnutds> the only promt i get is grub>
[05:14] <dragonnutds> is that root?
[05:15] <AbhiJit> !fixgrub | dragonnutds
[05:15] <bullgard4> IdleOne: Thank you very much for explaining.
[05:15] <william_> nope, thats just grub. it means the grub is up and running but not finding a kernel
[05:15] <AbhiJit> !who | william_
[05:16] <william_> dragonnutds, nope, thats just grub. it means the grub is up and running but not finding a kernel
[05:17] <dragonnutds> william_, ok, how can i get to the root from there
[05:17] <Blueleaf_> l
[05:17] <william_> dragonnutds, when I had the issue, I entered a seperate kernel and reinstalled grub and it fixed it.
[05:17] <dragonnutds> ubottu, i dont think i lost the grub, i think the grub is the only thing i can get to
[05:18] <dragonnutds> william_, and i have no idea how to do that, i hate being a newbie.....
[05:19] <william_> dragonnutds, this may be the long way around, but you might try a smaller install of ubuntu on a separate partition, like 5 GB, then see if rebooting after install allows access to the previous kernels
[05:19] <dragonnutds> i never partisoned, i have a internal install inside windows
[05:19] <william_> dragonnutds, i know the feeling :)
[05:20] <william_> dragonnutds, you mean like a vm?
[05:20] <ZykoticK9> william_, wubi probably
[05:20] <AbhiJit> dragonnutds, http://www.linux-solved.com/post/SOLVED-Help-Wubi-stops-at-grub-prompt-28340.html
[05:20] <dragonnutds> yes, wubi
[05:20] <Stronze> is anyone's graphic blurring since a recent update?
[05:21] <Stronze> anyone?
[05:21] <Anom01y> Snapshot,
[05:22] <dragonnutds> abhijit, is there a short answer to the post, some of what they are talking about i have no idea what they are talking about?
[05:22] <william_> but doesnt wubi just allow dual install from inside a running windows?
[05:22] <AbhiJit> dragonnutds, no idea. you read it neatly
[05:22] <victorhugo289> hello
[05:22] <AbhiJit> william_, its inside windows. its not dual partitioon
[05:22] <RobertSaganek2> hey i'm having trouble getting my camera to work with ubuntu... can anyone help??
[05:23] <william_> AbhiJit, really? so it is just a virtual machine running as another app on the windows desktop
[05:23] <Blueleaf_> l
[05:23] <AbhiJit> william_, right
[05:23] <ZykoticK9> RobertSaganek2, if you mean a web cam - have you tried it in "cheese"?
[05:23] <plum> hey guys
[05:24] <RobertSaganek2> no its a digital camera
[05:24] <plum> is there any program to remove unnecessary stuff like CCleaner for windows?
[05:24] <AbhiJit> plum, try bleachbit
[05:24] <william_> AbhiJit, how is it compared to vmware or virtualbox?
[05:24] <Blue1> plum: yeah hang on a sec
[05:24] <plum> sweeeeet
[05:24] <plum> looking it up...
[05:25] <Blue1> plum: System/Administration/Computer Janitor does SOME of those functions
[05:25] <dragonnutds> abhijit, wait, so when i boot ubuntu, i boot windows
[05:25] <AbhiJit> william_, virtual machine is ap inside ubuntu in that ap another os is virtualized. wubi is method to run os inside windows as pretends to be just another ap to windows but its a os to user.
[05:25] <plum> i tried that recently Blue1 , that's cool. i didn't know it had that built in.
[05:25] <AbhiJit> dragonnutds, yes
[05:25] <plum> :)
[05:26] <dragonnutds> abhijit, that might explane why my ubuntu on my desktop (not the one im troble shooting right now) might also be having problems like the windows install
[05:26] <william_> AbhiJit, I guess I dont understand the distinction between the two, how is a vm not exactly what you just described?
[05:27] <Stronze> what website can i post temp pics yo show what my screen looks like?
[05:27] <tman--> what would be causing a compaq presario desktop computer to randomly restart. ive checked the ram its fine, also i cleaned the inside of the case cpu heatsink etc. any ideas
[05:27] <AbhiJit> !imagebin | Stronze
[05:27] <RobertSaganek2> hey i'm having trouble getting my camera to work with ubuntu... can anyone help??
[05:27] <AbhiJit> dragonnutds, may be not sure
[05:27] <AbhiJit> william_, :) may be i am unable to explain the difference. and there is not 'a lot' difference
[05:28] <Stronze> http://imagebin.org/132288
[05:28] <dragonnutds> ok, new question, is there a way to reinstall wubi without reinstalling ubuntu too?
[05:28] <Stronze> it happens randomly
[05:28] <AbhiJit> william_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364155
[05:29] <Stronze> been playing eternal lands for awhile today and this the second tme it has happen
[05:29] <dragonnutds> wait, should there be more stuff in c:/ubuntu than just a few files? or can windows just not see them....
[05:30] <Stronze> anyone solutions to y problem?
[05:30] <Stronze> im tired of rebooting
[05:31] <william_> AbhiJit, :) so in theory the same thing but different in execution. thanks for the info
[05:31] <AbhiJit> william_, yah

[05:57] <izinucs> Is there a preferred method of getting files downloaded from bazaar.launchpad.net??
[05:57] <sacarlson> mayank_: I guess you will have to get the utility from kingstone that does a low level format,  I don't think they have a linux version I've already looked
[05:58] <optik> anyone know how to fix it?
[05:58] <mayank_> utility from kingston
[05:58] <mayank_> ?>?
[05:58] <awk> optik: you never going to fix those permissions
[05:58] <mayank_> i hav only linux
[05:58] <awk> Try 'upgrade'
[05:59] <mayank_> can u tell me how to make ped drive bootable?
[05:59] <mayank_> too
[05:59] <optik> awk: so i basically need to reinstall ubuntu
[05:59] <mayank_> so there is no way of doing it on ubuntu?
[06:00] <awk> optik: there is so many different permission on files and directories and proc fs and dev, etc. you never going to fix it..

[06:00] <goviel> plum: are you logged in, it seems like you are not
[06:00] <awk> optik: but you might be able to stick a disk in and say 'upgrade' and it fixes some.. However I doubt it will ever be 100% and you going to have a box that is damaged.. And
[06:01] <optik> i got it, im screwed and need to format and re install ubuntu from scratch, no worries
[06:01] <mayank_> @sacarlson no other way of doing it in ubuntu?
[06:02] <Inf0del> i love ubuntu's customizable keys
[06:02] <Inf0del> :D
[06:02] <izinucs> mayank_: unetbootin .. it's in the repos
[06:02] <Inf0del> dont ever lose that
[06:03] <mayank_> i tried doing it wid unetbootin bt it gets stuck at 53%
[06:03] <izinucs> mayank_: reformat the pd with fat16 or 32
[06:04] <mayank_> ohk
[06:04] <plum> goviel: i am not signed in yet when it does that... usually it would let me sign in from there i think?
[06:04] <izinucs> Is there a preferred method of getting files downloaded from bazaar.launchpad.net??  other than "right mouse click save as" file after file after directory etc.. ?
[06:04] <plum> it does not let me select to be Available

[06:05] <Inf0del> use the same monitors thought
[06:05] <skilz> Yes
[06:06] <goviel> plum: usually if your info is correct it should allow you to auto login. make sure it is, and then make sure the accounts you want to use are enabled.
[06:06] <izinucs> skilz: insstall nvidia-settings.. it will show up in system>Admin
[06:06] <skilz> already got it :)
[06:06] <Inf0del> in the monitors setting

[06:06] <optik> and let me ask u guys this since im reinstalling ubuntu, should i choose desktop or server if i am planning to run apache and other servers
[06:07] <skilz> ?
[06:07] <skilz> It's on TwinView at the moment
[06:07] <izinucs> optik: if you want a gui, desktop.. if no then server .. it has a differnt kernel
[06:07] <skilz> I can select: Disabled, Seperate X screen or Twin View
[06:08] <izinucs> twin view
[06:09] <skilz> thats what its on
[06:09] <skilz> but it isnt stretching my wallaper and gnome bar ect

[06:15] <carson> Does anyone know how to get netflix to work on Ubuntu Linux?
[06:17] <goviel> carson: Sadly I don't think we will ever for the moment, netflix uses microsofts silver light, so the only alternative would be a virtual windows system
[06:17] <izinucs> carson: it won't
[06:17] <doc|home> carson: I recommend emailing them to express your interest.
[06:18] <skilz_> I'm guessing the screens have to be the same size and res
[06:18] <carson> goviel well then how is it mac compatible? why would they make it mac compatible and not linux compatible?
[06:19] <sacarlson> mayank_: only low level formater I could find is http://www.apacer.com/en/support/downloads/Repair_v2.9.1.1.zip  that I found at: http://www.fixya.com/support/t345484-format_write_protect_usb_drive and as I said it's only runs on windows
[06:19] <archeleus> to where does ubuntu x86_64 install openexr libraries to?
[06:20] <archeleus> not there in /usr/local/lib
[06:20] <mayank_> ohk i will try it
[06:20] <goviel> carson: silverlight works on the mac, there alternatives, but they have not been successful
[06:20] <mayank_> thanx
[06:20]  * kwtm rolls eyes to find that, after 5 hours, GParted has completed 0 of 3 tasks needed for resizing partitions on this laptop. :P
[06:20] <carson> goviel, well that sucks... well thanks anyway
[06:20] <carson> izinucs, doc|home thanks anyway
[06:22] <oliver_> Just wanted to thank you guys for always being such a great help.  Goodnight.
[06:22] <kwtm> carson: Write a note to Netflix anyway, just to put a blip on their radar screen that someone wanted to use Netflix on Linux.  If enough people do that, maybe they will keep Linux in mind the next time.
[06:22] <goviel> carson: netflix is implementing it on android but its going to be hardware based which is bs since android is linux on the bottom. :(
[06:22] <edhant> mau nanya2 donk tentang fast-track metasploite
[06:22] <edhant> tolong bantu donk
[06:22] <carson> kwtm i think i will
[06:23] <carson> goviel yah that really sucks... why not just make it linux? or switch over to  media player that is more cross platform compatible then a windows media application?
[06:24] <kwtm> goviel: Are you serious? Netflix will have an Android client but "it is hardware based"?  I wonder if it's because they want to Tivo-ize the client?  I mean, supposedly one should be able to run Android in a virtual machine...
[06:25] <Snakkah> Hello. I was wondering, when using the Desktop Cube function of Compiz, is there a way to get labels for your desktops to display as the cube is rotating?
[06:26] <skilz_> Snakkah, Try #compiz
[06:26] <goviel> carson: i konw really sucks, i guess they are afraid of the movie studios coming down on them because someone saved a movie file...
[06:27] <joe_> Tried to upgrade to 10.4, I got the "Gave up waiting for blah blah blah", I tired every trick in the bug report.
[06:28] <carson> goviel well you could do that anyways on windows or mac, theres tons of screen and audio recorders, it shouldnt be linux they fear, just people who know how to beat the system
[06:28] <carson> goviel wich windows has those people to

[06:30] <m1chael> im having trouble deciding whether i should buy a cheap asus netbook ($289.99+free s/h) with windows 7 starter OR an asus netbook ($399.99+free s/h) with windows 7 pro.. i would like to dual boot with ubuntu.. what would you guys do?
[06:31] <MuftiMan> mount error(13): Permission denied
[06:31] <MuftiMan> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[06:31] <MuftiMan> is the error I get

[06:32] <meway> Ok I have ubuntu server 10.10 lts or w/e is the newest version. Its not connected to the internet intentionally. It has its own network. How would I go about installing a webhost on it?
[06:33] <MuftiMan> they're on a windows 7 machine
[06:33] <SkiLZ> MuftiMan, is it a network share or partition in the same computer?
[06:33] <SkiLZ> ah
[06:33] <MuftiMan> it's a network shares SkiLZ
[06:33] <meway> I have an external hardrive I can use as a resource to get things from the internet
[06:33] <MuftiMan> I was following this guide too :
[06:33] <MuftiMan> http://www.thatsquality.com/articles/mounting-windows-smb-file-shares-using-cifs
[06:34] <MuftiMan> I changed the username as it suggested in that solution and then get "could not resolve address"
[06:34] <SkiLZ> MuftiMan, You should be able to permanetly mount souch a drive with an entry in /etc/fstab, like: //server_name/share_name /path_to/mount_point cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev,uid=client_username,gid=users 0 0
[06:35] <SkiLZ> You might have to change the server_name for the IP-adress
[06:35] <meway> maybe I should reword >_<
[06:35] <actionparsnip> Muftman: if the share is on Win7 and you use Live Messenger, there can be issues
[06:35] <MuftiMan> hmm kk, I'll give that a shot
[06:35] <MuftiMan> thanks actionparsnip , I don't use it but it IS installed
[06:35] <MuftiMan> should I uninstall?
[06:36] <MuftiMan> I should probably add that I'm a complete novice with ubuntu. I'm heavily windows based so this is all pretty new to me
[06:37] <Niglop> how can I change my static IP address in ubuntu?
[06:37] <meway> I have 2 routers 1 and 2, 1= internet, 2= private server network.   I want 2 to have one machine with ubuntu server on it and have a webhost on it without connecting to the internet. Is this possible and how? I also have an external hardrive I can use to get files from the internet.
[06:37] <lvtrii> Morning All
[06:37] <lvtrii> I just ran an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 on ubuntu server
[06:38] <lvtrii> And everything's working fine, except my apache virtualhosts
[06:38] <SkiLZ> Niglop, System >> Preferences >> Network Connections
[06:38] <lvtrii> All the sites are showing the default "It works!" pafge
[06:38] <lvtrii> *page
[06:38] <lvtrii> any pointers of where to look?
[06:38] <actionparsnip> Muftiman: i believe its a service. If you websearch for: ubuntu linux windows 7 shares is a pain , it should show (it's a long doc on why. I have it
[06:38] <actionparsnip> In favourites at work
[06:38] <SkiLZ> Niglop, Click on connection type then edit settings
[06:39] <glaceman> Good morning every1:D
[06:39] <Haunt_House> why can I start a python script from the comsole, but not with a starter? It tells me permission denied
[06:39] <ubuntu> Hello
[06:40] <MuftiMan> so actionparsnip , you reckon if I uninstall WLM on the w7 machine I should be able to access it?
[06:40] <actionparsnip> Mheap::ease up on the enter key dude. You can write fairly large amounts of text on one line as I am showing you now
[06:40] <soreau> Haunt_House: What command are you using?
[06:41] <Haunt_House> python /path/script.py
[06:41] <Haunt_House> in the console it works fine
[06:41] <MuftiMan> Fuckin wewt, I have to say SkiLZ , you are AWESOME
[06:41] <mheap> actionparsnip, alright. Any tips on where I should be looking?
[06:42] <soreau> Haunt_House: Could be an environment issue. Does it work if you put the command in a script with #!/bin/bash at the top?
[06:42] <soreau> ! language | MuftiMan
[06:42] <kwtm> Haunt_House: I'm not sure what "the starter" is (presumably some GNOME Ubuntu thing --I use Kubuntu KDE), but have you tried /usr/bin/python instead of just "python"?
[06:42] <Haunt_House> soreau, trying it
[06:42] <MuftiMan> eep sorry guys
[06:42] <SkiLZ> MuftiMan, :)
[06:42] <MuftiMan> just been bashing my head at this all week
[06:42] <MuftiMan> and you help out in 10 minutes
[06:42] <MuftiMan> was amazing, thanks so much
[06:42] <SkiLZ> That's why they call me skilz :p
[06:42] <actionparsnip> Muftiman: there's a part to disable but i guess it does the same thing. Win7 changed the authentication method for shares as far as I can tell, typical Microsoft really
[06:43] <Haunt_House> #!/bin/sh I use this, but that works, soreau
[06:43] <soreau> Haunt_House: cool
[06:43] <Haunt_House> kwtm, starter is a clickable icon
[06:43] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Well, you're really trying to run /usr/bin/python, not /bin/sh, right?
[06:43] <soreau> Haunt_House: yea kwtm is right
[06:43] <Haunt_House> kwtm, basically I try to change my desktop background at startup, but I'm working my way there
[06:44] <Haunt_House> kwtm, I included that lin in the actual script
[06:44] <actionparsnip> Mheap: is the web page data in the right place? Does the new version use the same folder?
[06:44] <Haunt_House> line
[06:44] <soreau> Haunt_House: using gconftool?
[06:44] <MuftiMan> Second, just trying to add other mounts
[06:45] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Are you sure a script at startup is the best way to do it?  Anyway, assuming that it is ... it sounds like "starter" is the menu system in (GNOME) Ubuntu?  Or do you have an actual desktop icon called "starter"?  If either one, I might be able to help; if "starter" is a non-menu desktop icon that came with Ubuntu already, I'd have to profess ignorance since I use KDE.
[06:45] <mheap> actionparsnip, yes. apache.conf contains "Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled", and all of the vhosts are in there as before
[06:46] <Haunt_House> soreau, I tried it via system menu. There's one called sessions and it allows you to run stuff at login
[06:46] <kwtm> Haunt_House: well, not the actual script, but what command are you trying to run from "starter"?  If your *script* starts with "#!/usr/bin/python", that doesn't matter since only bash or some other console will read that line.  Does "starter" read that line?
[06:46] <actionparsnip> Haut_house: there are guides on how to create a script to change the wallpaper.with relation to time. It will give the gconf command
[06:48] <kwtm> Haunt_House: As an example, if I install a new menu item (under my Kubuntu) then I'd have to say:  run the command '/usr/bin/python /path/to/myscript.py'.  It might not be enough to say: run the command '/path/to/myscript' or the command 'python /path/to/myscript'  (even if my script starts with "#!/usr/bin/python")
[06:48] <nickkontos> hello, i recently bought a usb game controller and trying to configure it I accidentally made it to act as a mouse :/ how can I undo this? it's very annoying...
[06:48] <soreau> Haunt_House: FWIW, there is an automatic fading wallpaper changer in compiz 0.9
[06:48] <nickkontos> ubuntu 10.10
[06:48] <Haunt_House> kwtm, I tried several approaches. right now I tried running it directly with 'python /path/script.py' and via a shellscript running script.py. both solutions work in the console, none work otherwise
[06:48] <actionparsnip> Haunt_house: http://joeamined.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/automatically-changing-wallpaper-relatively-to-daytime-in-ubuntu/
[06:49] <soreau> nickkontos: What did you do to make it behave this way?
[06:49] <mheap> actionparsnip, got it. I need to use NameVirtualHost in the newer versions of apache, I could get away without using it in previous versions
[06:49] <actionparsnip> Mheap: glad you got the gold
[06:50] <Haunt_House> System>Preferences>Sessions thats exactly the place where I tried the pythonscript to run
[06:50] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Hmm... sorry, sounds like your query is specific to GNOME Ubuntu so I won't be able to help you.
[06:51] <Haunt_House> kwtm, dunno, at least I got the button to say permission denied
[06:51] <nickkontos> soreau, I don't know :/ I just know that I did a lot of things trying to make it just work with no success.. until I rebooted! then it worked but it worked too much... some of the applications that I have installed during this was joy2key and jscalibrator
[06:52] <kwtm> Well, good luck, Haunt_House.
[06:52] <actionparsnip> Haut_house: you can add the script there and it will run once. You will need to mark it exectable and reference it absolutely
[06:52] <nickkontos> I just entered "joystick" on the search field of the software center and installed anything that I thought could help, soreau
[06:53] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Of course!  actionparsnip has a point --is your script executable?  By all?  That must be the cause of the "permission denied" message.
[06:53] <actionparsnip> !away > mister_m-away
[06:53] <Haunt_House> if it is, the button tells me it's not there, if it isn't it tells me permission denied
[06:54] <kwtm> Hey, I want a private message, too.
[06:54] <kwtm> !away > kwtm
[06:54] <actionparsnip> Kwtm: ;)
[06:54] <mister_m-away> you guys know you can remove that stuff from appearing
[06:55] <jpmonette> somebody know how to use mod_accesslog in lighttpd? I can't start my daemon
[06:55] <mister_m-away> so stay out of my business please
[06:55] <MuftiMan> Blah ok I celebrated a little early, SkiLZ , lol
[06:55] <MuftiMan> I can only add ONE share at the moment
[06:55] <kwtm> ? Not sure what that !away message is about.  Isn't it dependent on the client whether a user ends up announcing "Hey, I'm away!  Yes, away!  You hear me?"  Does the Ubuntu IRC channel want to recommend a particular IRC client that doesn't cause this problem?
[06:56] <MuftiMan> trying to add another, I get "Couldn't chdir to /mount/media/d: No such file or directory"
[06:56] <MuftiMan> Even though I made it with sudo mkdir -p /mount/media/d
[06:56] <mister_m-away> kwtm, something about a complex and napoleon
[06:57] <SkiLZ> hmmm
[06:57] <SkiLZ> gimmie a sec
[06:58] <MuftiMan> lol thanks SkiLZ , appreciate all the help you're givin btw
[06:58] <kwtm> Yea! GParted has completed 2 of 3 operations and will now only take a *short* eternity to actually expand the size of my main Ubuntu partition!  (Why won't Ubuntu fit into 4G any more?  Used to be I'd install Linux in 2G partitions and have plenty of space left over)
[06:59] <MuftiMan> Oh, I thought I was done :( seems I only did a "proof of concept" lol
[07:00] <tt>  What's the difference between Grub2 and Grub?
[07:00] <Zorlin> Grub2 is a pain in the ass
[07:00] <Zorlin> :P
[07:00] <Haunt_House> if I put this in the python script '#!/bin/python' do I have to use the python command to start it?
[07:00] <Zorlin> No, Grub2 is more modular and more advanced
[07:01] <Zorlin> and (AFAIK) has a lot of redesigned configuration (tt)
[07:01] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Not if you run it from the command line.  If it's some other program (e.g. "starter"), not so sure.
[07:02] <tt> Zorlin:How to know which version I install?
[07:02] <meway> Hello I installed ubuntu server on a machine without it being connected to the internet. After plugging it into the network how do I make it obtain an IP address and connect to the internet?
[07:02] <kwtm> Hey, let me try a factoid!
[07:02] <kwtm> !who | Zorlin
[07:02] <Zorlin> tt: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:02] <Zorlin> kwtm: I already knew that... =_=
[07:02] <Zorlin> kwtm: I was using it already
[07:02] <kwtm> Hey, it's worked!
[07:02] <tt> Zorlin:10.04and10.10
[07:03] <kwtm> Zorlin: Yeah, I know.  I was just trying out factoids. :)
[07:03] <Zorlin> :_:
[07:03] <kwtm> !dont-overuse-factoids | kwtm
[07:03] <Zorlin> tt: I would recommend using grub2
[07:03] <kwtm> Darn.
[07:03] <Zorlin> tt: as its generally considered the "supported" version of grub on the default system
[07:03] <kwtm> Zorlin: So Grub2 is a more modular, more advanced pain in the ass.
[07:03] <soreau> meway: ifconfig eth0 <ip> && dhclient eth0
[07:04] <Zorlin> kwtm: Yeah, pretty much. I don't particularly like it, but its also probably the way forward
[07:04] <kwtm> Zorlin: I'm still using Grub(1) because I used it before and I don't want to mess with it corrupting my triple boot.
[07:05] <Zorlin> kwtm: =]
[07:05] <tt> When I tap 'grub' in terminal,it says 'grub uninstall'.What's wrong?
[07:05] <Haunt_House> HAHA, I got it
[07:07] <Zorlin> so in truth tt: basically you can use either one
[07:07] <Zorlin> and tt: you need to run grub-setup I think
[07:08] <tt> Zorlin:Th you
[07:08] <bj0> Wom 4
[07:08] <Zorlin> =]
[07:09] <guiness> whats up room
[07:09] <tt> Zorlin:I find it's hard for to learn Grub
[07:09] <meway> soreau: santex error near "&&"
[07:09] <Zorlin> tt: generally users don't have to deal with grub
[07:10] <meway> near unexpected token "&&" *
[07:10] <Zorlin> why do you need to install it? did you uninstall it earlier or something?
[07:10] <soreau> meway: You need to replace <ip> with a real internal ip
[07:10] <meway> >_> what?
[07:10] <meway> soreau without the <> ?
[07:10] <soreau> meway: What nameserver is there in /etc/resolv.conf?
[07:11] <tt> zorlin:After installing win7,I have to learn Grub.
[07:11] <meway> soreau: can you be more specific of what the internal ip is? (routers IP) or what?
[07:11] <Zorlin> tt: Oh, to restore it?
[07:12] <Anom01y> anyone know why google earth doesnt work in Ubuntu for me ?
[07:12] <Zorlin> tt: As in installing Windows 7 got rid of it?
[07:12] <soreau> meway: Keep it in the channel please
[07:12] <Haunt_House> soreau, kwtm, changing all paths in the script to absolute seems to have helped (:
[07:12] <meway> soreau: k I'm going to look in that file one sec brb server is in another room >_<
[07:12] <soreau> Haunt_House: Its never a bad idea
[07:13] <tt> Zorlin:Yes,always!
[07:13] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Oh!! I see now; the "permission denied" was not for the script itself; the script was executing and the "permission denied" error was generated by the script, then!
[07:13] <TomCX> ...
[07:13] <TomCX> ..i have 'app' source code already downloaded+add modification, but want to do 'apt-get' for the dependency via internet...how to do that?
[07:13] <TomCX> .how?
[07:14] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Note for the future: your environment is not necessarily inherited when you run the script, so $PATH etc. may be different.  I see a lot of people run python scripts not with "#!/usr/bin/python" but with "#!/usr/bin/env python".  But that doesn't always work, either, so set your $PYTHONPATH and $PATH.
[07:14] <kwtm> Haunt_House: and $PWD, too.
[07:14] <Haunt_House> kwtm, starter works now and maybe it'll work at boot. Thank you both, kwtm  and soreau. If you want, I'll put you on the thanks list when my live action series starts
[07:15] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Live action?  Is that, like, Spongebob Squarepants using real actors instead of cartoon?
[07:15] <soreau> ! work | Zorlin
[07:16] <Haunt_House> kwtm, yes, but with actors instead of spongebob
[07:16] <Zorlin> soreau: ???
[07:16] <santhosh> hi guys some one help me
[07:16] <Zorlin> tt: I think you'd want grub2 in that case
[07:16] <EvilPhoenix> !ask | santhosh
[07:16] <soreau> Zorlin: You need to explain what about google earth isnt working
[07:16] <santhosh> i run a ping command on ubuntu 10.04 server
[07:16] <Zorlin> tt: if you're using a liveCD to fix grub
[07:16] <kwtm> TomCX: I think what you mean is: you modified an app that would otherwise be available as a package, so you want to install the dependencies for that package, but use your own customized version of that package itself, yes?
[07:16] <rick_2047> hello, for the past few weeks gtalk has stopped working on pidgin, I tried force old ssl option but it didn't work. Help?
[07:17] <soreau> Zorlin: Oh sorry, getting you confused with someone elses nick
[07:17] <santhosh> it constantly pings and is not at all stopping and id have to restart
[07:17] <Zorlin> soreau: Wrong user, I think :)
[07:17] <Zorlin> soreau: Yeah. No problem, haha
[07:17] <soreau> ! work | Anom01y
[07:17] <soreau> Zorlin :)
[07:17] <santhosh> is there a way to stop a command like ping from executing instead of having to restart the sytem each time
[07:17] <nVee> Hey guys. I have a "testing" server (latest desktop build) running a clean copy of a LAMP server
[07:17] <kwtm> TomCX: If yes, then I guess you could install the standard version of the package first (which installs all the dependencies) and then modify the package.
[07:17] <nVee> WE have multiple people working off files on this server. The default folder is var/www
[07:18] <soreau> santhosh: huh?
[07:18] <kwtm> Hey, Ubuntu doesn't work!
[07:18] <kwtm> !work | kwtm
[07:18] <nVee> can anyone perhaps help me (please guide me) on how can I change the /var/www permissions so that its 777 to EVERYONE?
[07:18] <tt> Zorlin:Thank u
[07:18] <nVee> I have created a usergroup
[07:18] <soreau> nVee: chmod
[07:18] <MuftiMan> SkiLZ,  you still about?
[07:18] <kwtm> Hey, how come ubottu sent me a private message instead!?
[07:18] <kwtm> ! work | kwtm
[07:18] <MuftiMan> Am trying to save the fstab file but I'm unsure how to do so?
[07:18] <meway> soreau: ok the nameserver in there is 192.168.0.1
[07:18] <TomCX> ./configure
[07:18] <Zorlin> !testing > kwtm
[07:18] <nVee> soreau: That works but once someone creates a new file, then we have to everyday change the permissions
[07:18] <santhosh> i ran ping 192.... and the command is executing again and again
[07:19] <santhosh> how can i stop it without having to restart my system
[07:19] <soreau> meway: And that is the ip of your router, correct?
[07:19] <TomCX> who the bot here
[07:19] <sacarlson> santhosh:  you can just hit <ctl> c
[07:19] <nVee> it changes it on existing files, but once a new file is created then its read only to other users
[07:19] <Anom01y> soreau, sorry just trying to fix it for a friend in #infozone
[07:19] <TomCX> i need to ask the bot
[07:19] <Anom01y> he's running ubuntu + gnome
[07:19] <meway> soreau: 192.168.2.1 <is the ip of my router
[07:19] <santhosh> thanks
[07:19] <nVee> I need that folder to have 777 for all users in the usergroup, for existing and new files
[07:19] <soreau> meway: Can you ping the router ip from the server?
[07:19] <meway> soreau: idk
[07:19] <kwtm> Ubuntu doesn't work!  It sits on the couch all day wanting more money!  It goes on IRC all day long.
[07:19] <meway> brb
[07:20] <MuftiMan> anyone? =/ I've gotten to the point where it's almost done I think
[07:20] <kwtm> Oops, wait, that describes myself.  Never mind.
[07:20] <MuftiMan> but I need to save the fstab file before I close terminal - I just don't know how
[07:20] <soreau> meway: Try it and if you can, change the nameserver is resolv.conf to the ip of your router then try to ping google.com
[07:20] <MuftiMan> lol
[07:20] <santhosh> ok i just installed ubuntu 10.04 i set a static ip for my system in /etc/network/interfaces . still im not able to ping any of my other systems in the network
[07:20] <nVee> wow whats the point
[07:21] <soreau> Anom01y: What kind of graphics card is it?
[07:22] <meway> soreau: network is unreachable
[07:22] <aleiex> hi, I need to burn an .mdf file, but can't with brasero
[07:22] <aleiex> any software to do that?
[07:22] <santhosh> ok i just installed ubuntu 10.04 i set a static ip for my system in /etc/network/interfaces . still im not able to ping any of my other systems in the network
[07:22] <meway> soreau: you want me to change it anyway?
[07:23] <nVee> Geez I would PAY for support
[07:23] <nVee> but thats probably the thing with open source
[07:23] <nVee> and why windows would just always be better
[07:23] <glaceman> exit
[07:23] <nVee> because linux have overcomplicated the simplist of tasks
[07:23] <glaceman> oups !lol wrong window
[07:23] <glaceman> lol
[07:23] <Tm_T> nVee: please stick on ubuntu support
[07:23] <kwtm> Holy cow! GParted is DONE!  Okay, bye everyone! Time to reboot my Dellbuntu and be productive again!
[07:23] <Tm_T> nVee: this is no place for personal rants
[07:23] <nVee> Tm_T: you're kidding me
[07:23] <nVee> I asked a question
[07:23] <santhosh> ok i just installed ubuntu 10.04 i set a static ip for my system in /etc/network/interfaces . still im not able to ping any of my other systems in the network. what should i do guys
[07:24] <nVee> 4 times already
[07:24] <nVee> and no one can help
[07:24] <guiness> nvee what is your question
[07:24] <santhosh> guiness:ok i just installed ubuntu 10.04 i set a static ip for my system in /etc/network/interfaces . still im not able to ping any of my other systems in the network. what should i do guys
[07:24] <Tm_T> nVee: patience (and yes there's commercial support options too)
[07:24] <nVee> I need /var/www to give full access to a usergroup.
[07:24] <kwtm> nVee are you implying that Ubuntu is NOT the most perfectest, wonderfullest, bestest system in the whole wide world???  We won't have that on the #ubuntu channel!
[07:24] <nVee> thats the long of the short
[07:25] <guiness> santhosh what are your other systems set to
[07:25] <nVee> hahahahaha
[07:25] <santhosh> they are all running on the same subnet
[07:25] <guiness> stst or dyn
[07:25] <santhosh> st
[07:25] <soreau> meway: Ok, try this: Set the nameserver to the router ip, then run something like this:  http://pastebin.com/eq1Z8ZCy
[07:25] <nVee> 14 people work of /var/www for some testing sites. Everytime someone creates a new folder / file, we manually first have to go change the permissions so that theother users can also use it
[07:25] <underdone> My apologies for coming in and out,setting up Ubuntu for a friend, experience some issues with XChat
[07:26] <guiness> ok and what are you trying to do...ultimately again
 can anyone perhaps help me (please guide me) on how can I change the /var/www permissions so that its 777 to EVERYONE?
[07:27] <Tm_T> nVee: you prolly like to have ACL for that
[07:27] <klochner> anyone willing to discuss the finer points of ubuntu services? (/etc/init.d/ scripts)
[07:27] <Tm_T> !acl
[07:27] <soreau> meway: Then of course try to ping the router ip and google.com
[07:27] <barebone> Hello, how can I add Skype in startup?
[07:27] <zenmower> what is the name of the program that lets you set your desktop options
[07:27] <Myrtti> nvee 777 gives all rights to anyone, what you need to do is to use the sticky bit, user group and the second permission number
[07:27] <meway> soreau: the thing is the router is set to not respond to ping
[07:27] <zenmower> my power cycled and i am missing my taskbars
[07:27] <Anom01y> soreau, hey its an Nvidia 8800
[07:27] <bj0> barebone: System->Preferences->Startup Applications
[07:27] <meway> soreau: idk why cause I did not do this
[07:28] <tfilipczuk> tica
[07:28] <barebone> bj0, yes, I did. Now it wants to know the command.
[07:28] <soreau> Anom01y: And what is the problem with the program exactly?
[07:28] <barebone> bj0, and I don't know the command.
[07:28] <bj0> barebone: i think it's just 'skype'
[07:29] <barebone> bj0, I think not.
[07:30] <Anom01y> soreau, well it installs to /opt/google/earth
[07:30] <Anom01y> and the link on the desktop does nothing
[07:30] <nVee> Guys I apologise for coming off blunt
[07:30] <soreau> Anom01y: What about running it from CLI?
[07:30] <nVee> but you need to understand my frustration thus far
[07:30] <Bzek> Hello. How to disable keyboard layout switching with Alt+Shift?
[07:30] <nVee> doing a lot of "do this do that" but not reaping the benefits
[07:30] <nVee> I really have very little experience so I dont know
[07:30] <bj0> barebone: it works if i type 'skype' in a terminal
[07:31] <Anom01y> CLI? how do I do that ?
[07:31] <nVee> Does anyone know of a resource online (and please a simple step by step one) to just help me change either /var/www to full write whoever logs in
[07:31] <nVee> even if they dont log in, just access /var/www as a shared folder
[07:31] <barebone> bj0, okay.
[07:31] <nVee> so that they can just access the folder and do what they please
[07:31] <meway> soreau: brb I will go do that I had to wrte all that down
[07:32] <soreau> meway: No worries, but if you get stuck and Im not here, try #networking for reliable information
[07:32] <barebone> bj0, okay, thanks. I'll see if it works.
[07:35] <sacarlson> nVee: not sure this is what you want but you can learn how permitions are set and how they work heres a detailed site: http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml
[07:36] <manole> hola
[07:36] <Anom01y> soreau, what is CLI ?
[07:37] <soreau> Anom01y: command line interface
[07:37] <meway> soreau: ok I got errors like no such routing and no such device.
[07:37] <soreau> Anom01y: aka Terminal
[07:37] <soreau> meway: Does ifconfig show an eth0 iface?
[07:37] <goviel> nVee: http://www.apaddedcell.com/ssh-allowing-multiple-users-edit-files-and-directories-shared-folders
[07:37] <meway> soreau: brb XD
[07:37] <Anom01y> soreau, duh yeah thanks
[07:38] <jitit> hey,i am having trouble installing my network card's drivers correctly. can someone help me?
[07:39] <meway> soreau: the only thing it shows me is local
[07:40] <meway> soreau: is it possible that its not reading my onboard network card? If so how would I manually install it assuming its there just not active.. :|
[07:40] <meway> computer was set up offline
[07:40] <soreau> meway: Ah then the kernel module for your ethernet card likely isnt loaded or there is a problem with it. What is the card per lspci and does dmesg show any interesting messages about it?
[07:41] <MadRobot> Hi all
[07:42] <MadRobot> How do I fix a BADSIG problem in Maverick?
[07:42] <jitit> hi, does anyone know how to determine whther my USB network card works in "managed mode" ?
[07:42] <soreau> jitit: Since managed mode is the typical function, it should work
[07:43] <jitit> oh hehe, thanks
[07:43] <meway> soreau: well I can tell you what the board is. the lan is onboard. (I will do dmesg in a moment) Tyan thunder 2500, dualcore pentium3 933 processor, 8gb ram.
[07:43] <histo> jitit: managed mode should work. that's a normal connection to an AP
[07:43] <jitit> managed mode means its ability to detect networks?
[07:43] <meway> soreau: idk if that helps with what you were asking or not :|
[07:43] <soreau> meway: Yes but lspci gives you specific information about the pci hardware bus
[07:46] <meway> soreau: so what is it that you want me to do? dmesg gives me a very large list of things wich would be difficult to catch using just terminal. (this should also help. the drive was made on one machine and than stuck in the tyan thunder later on.)
[07:46] <meway> soreau: everything on the machine is new just out of the box
[07:47] <meway> soreau: the reason that the drive was stuck in later on is because the tyan had a tendancy to dislike disk drives and freeze
[07:48] <soreau> meway: Its possible the module isnt being loaded. You need to look at the output of lspci, identify your NIC there and google it to find the kernel module name, then load it with modprobe and see if you get an eth0 iface
[07:48] <meway> soreau: its safe to assume that its not activated or the wrong drivesr are installed
[07:49] <SkiLZ> I am using Google Chrome, when on facebook chat I get a message it makes a beep noise, it's really annoying, how can I disable this?
[07:49] <meway> soreau: ok so the command to do is lspci?
[07:49] <soreau> meway: yes
[07:50] <guiness> skilz switch to the fox
[07:51] <jitit> where is the /os/linux root in ubuntu?
[07:52] <soreau> jitit: /
[07:52] <jitit> root is the wrong word, isnt it?
[07:53] <guiness> what file are you looking for
[07:53] <meway> soreau: I'm looking for the ethernet controller right?
[07:53] <jitit> im not looking for a file. im trying to install my network card's drivers
[07:53] <soreau> meway: right
[07:53] <SkiLZ> guiness, Firefox has many known security issues. Not to mention it uses more resources and 'looks' so 90's....
[07:53] <soreau> jitit: what chipset is it?
[07:54] <guiness> are you on linux
[07:54] <guiness> ??
[07:54] <jitit> ralink rt2870
[07:54] <meway> soreau: Intel corporation 82557/8/9/01 Ethernet pro 100
[07:54] <meway> ev 08)
[07:54] <SkiLZ> Yes I am
[07:54] <guiness> you can use a theme, that will change the look
[07:54] <guiness> clam av for virus
[07:54] <guiness> what else u need lol
[07:54] <SkiLZ> I don't want to use a theme! I like Chromium!
[07:55] <guiness> i found the fox to be faster than chr
[07:55] <guiness> i know i was a fervent chromie
[07:55] <SkiLZ> Oh, speaking of clamav...
[07:55] <guiness> i liked fox better for linux
[07:55] <guiness> i dont use clam tho
[07:55] <SkiLZ> I used to use firefox
[07:55] <meway> soreau: googled I'm looking at the loopback topic :/
[07:55] <soreau> meway: Which version if ubuntu is it?
[07:55] <jitit> nm i figured it out thx
[07:55] <soreau> meway: of*
[07:55] <meway> soreau: the newest server editon lts
[07:56] <meway> at least I think lts
[07:56] <meway> 32 bit
[07:56] <guiness> i still do with my win instalation
[07:56] <soreau> meway: Do you see any output from this command?: lsmod|grep e100
[07:56] <jon8> is there an rss feed of sorts when there are updates to the maverick repositories??
[07:56] <ao> headphones don't work (sound still comes out laptop speakers) suggestions?
[07:56] <SkiLZ> ClamAV: The database directory must be writable for UID 1000 or GID 1000
[07:56] <guiness> ao ur talking abotu the headphone snese
[07:56] <guiness> ??
[07:57] <SkiLZ> when I installed it first, it could not create the directories for quarentine ect
[07:57] <ao> whats snese?
[07:57] <meway> soreau: sec
[07:57] <guiness> oops sense
[07:57] <guiness> when u plug in headphones in and it swaps sound...
[07:57] <guiness> like i said i dont use clam
[07:57] <ao> i guess... when i plug in any set the sounds doesnt revert over but instead plays out both
[07:57] <SkiLZ> guiness, what do you use?
[07:58] <jitit> the readme file for my driver reads "define the GCC and LD of the target machine, define the compiler flags CFLAGS"
[07:58] <jitit> what does this mean?
[07:58] <guiness> i still havent found a solution to that problem yet
[07:58] <guiness> i swap it manually
[07:58] <ao> how do u swap it?
[07:58] <ao> my laptop speaker sucks anyway
[07:58] <guiness> it is in the sound preferences
[07:58] <jankoprowski> Hi
[07:58] <histo> !who
[07:59] <guiness> skilz another program i found a while ago
[07:59] <jankoprowski> I'm looking some NCURSES tool to set proxy in Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
[07:59] <jitit> !ubottu test
[07:59] <guiness> prolly time to udate my program
[07:59] <SkiLZ> guiness, named?
[07:59] <guiness> dotn remember its automated
[08:00] <meway> soreau: yes I do
[08:00] <meway> soreau: would you like the specifics?
[08:00] <hi5> hi all
[08:00] <ao> sound preferences / sounds tab?
[08:00] <ao> or devices?
[08:01] <soreau> meway: hmm, you should probably have an eth0 interface then. Does dmesg say anything interesting?
[08:01] <guiness> ao go to the output tab
[08:01] <guiness> click on the speaker icon atop the screen
[08:01] <hi5> if with shutdown - r the pc goes reboot, but with shutdown from kde no way, what could be stopping it from work?
[08:01] <ao> i dont have that tab
[08:01] <meway> soreau: you would have to be more specific about that. It shows a tone of stuff :|
[08:01] <ao> sound playback dropdown menu?
[08:02] <jitit> 	define the GCC and LD of the target machine
[08:02] <jitit> 	define the compiler flags CFLAGS
[08:02] <jitit> anyone know what these mean?
[08:02] <soreau> meway: You would be looking for anything indicating a problem with the network setup and/or module
[08:02] <ao> i am using 9.04
[08:02] <meway> soreau: how do I pause the screen when its scrolling ?
[08:02] <meway> its a large list
[08:02] <Planck_> jitit: GCC would be a variable describing where to find the compiler, LD the linker, and CFLAGS the compiler options
[08:03] <guiness> click on the volume icon
[08:03] <guiness>  preferences
[08:03] <guiness>  output tab
[08:03] <guiness>  connector drop down menu
[08:03] <FloodBot4> guiness: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:03] <histo> jankoprowski: what about something like webmin?  do it through a web page?
[08:03] <histo> meway: somecomand | more
[08:03] <meway> histo: ??
[08:04] <histo> meway: to pause the output you put | more after the comand.  like lspci | grep more
[08:04] <SkiLZ> I am using Google Chrome, when on facebook chat I get a message it makes a beep noise, it's really annoying, how can I disable this? I think it may be a facebook thing
[08:04] <meway> histo: ah ok
[08:04] <meway> brb
[08:05] <ao> guiness under volume control i have HDA intel drivers
[08:05] <jankoprowski> How set proxy server on Ubuntu Server from command-line?
[08:06] <histo> jankoprowski: what proxy are you using?
[08:06] <histo> !proxy | jankoprowski
[08:06] <ao> wait found it
[08:07] <ao> is output another term for PCM?
[08:07] <SkiLZ> !cloak
[08:07] <jankoprowski> histo: I use some proxy-balancer (placed somewhere in my network) which work for http https and ftp
[08:07] <jankoprowski> Commonly I set http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy but I need apply this for whole system
[08:07] <histo> jankoprowski: well each proxy server would be configured differently. I'm not sure I really understand you questions.
[08:08] <jankoprowski> histo: The problem is I don't have X on server
[08:08] <histo> jankoprowski: yeah you don't need X
[08:08] <histo> jankoprowski: /etc  will contain all your config files
[08:08] <soreau> meway: Try Shift+PgUp to scroll
[08:08] <nVee> bash: /etc/pam.d/common-session: Permission denied - I get this when trying echo "session optional pam_umask.so umask=002" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
[08:09] <jankoprowski> histo: And I need eqivalent for System -> Preferences -> Proxy
[08:09] <jankoprowski> from GNOME environ
[08:09] <jankoprowski> histo: something like this but in shell
[08:09] <nVee> i also tried sudo echo "session optional pam_umask.so umask=002" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
[08:09] <soreau> meway: The other option is to rmmod e100 && modprobe e100 && dmesg|tail
[08:09] <jankoprowski> histo: Just GUI (NCURSES) to set system properly :)
[08:09] <soreau> meway: This reloads the module and puts the information at the end of the syslog
[08:10] <ao> guiness: please help
[08:10] <histo> jankoprowski: Have you installed a proxy server?
[08:10] <histo> brb reboot
[08:10] <soreau> meway: You can even load it with parameters (see modinfo e100) like this: modprobe e100 debug=16 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1
[08:11] <nVee> bash: /etc/pam.d/common-session: Permission denied - I get this when trying echo "session optional pam_umask.so umask=002" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
[08:11] <nVee> i also tried sudo echo "session optional pam_umask.so umask=002" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
[08:12] <bj0> nVee: thats because the sudo only applies to the first command, not the '>>', you can do a 'sudo su' to become root in the terminal
[08:13] <maco> bj0: no need
[08:13] <gsouque_> dose any body know a way to prevent user from shunting down a freenx server under a nx session ?
[08:13] <maco> nVee: instead of >> use  "| tee -a"
[08:13] <maco> nVee: sorry... "| sudo tee -a"
[08:13] <maco> nVee: and then no need for sudo in front of the echo
[08:14] <nVee> i see
[08:14] <nVee> okay I think I have it working
[08:14] <nVee> i question tho
[08:14] <nVee> that changes deafault folder permission to 775 and files to 664 correct?
[08:15] <nVee> well for new files?
[08:15] <nVee> and folders
[08:15] <nVee> If I wanted to set it to 777 for both new files and new folders?
[08:15] <maco> nVee: the 775 sounds right, though i didnt know it behaved differently for folders versus files...
[08:15] <maco> nVee: 777 means umask is 000
[08:16] <nVee> awesome
[08:16] <nVee> maco, i more question
[08:16] <nVee> 1 more question
[08:16] <nVee> can I add "nobody" to a usergroup
[08:16] <nVee> that would mean that someone could access the shared folder
[08:16] <nVee> and also have the same previledges of the users within that usergroup?
[08:17] <meway> soreau: I figured out how to scroll. I found nothing strange btw
[08:17] <meway> soreau: you wanted me to try other things? or were you saying other options for scrolling?
[08:18] <MadRobot> Hi all, is gmake installed by default?
[08:18] <soreau> meway: Well you could reload the module with those options.. debug=16 should be the most verbose output in dmesg
[08:18] <maco> nVee: "nobody" isnt a user you tend to be wanting to give permissions to...
[08:18] <mari> MadRobot: dpkg -l | grep -i gcc
 check in synaptic
[08:19] <MadRobot> mari, vadimkiselev thanks
[08:19] <meway> soreau: as I said before I am a bit new so, I is confused ^_^
[08:19] <nVee> maco: Whats happening is that when I access the shared folder from e.g. a windows machine
[08:19] <nVee> i dont get the authentication tab
[08:19] <nVee> so technically most users log in without "authenticating"
[08:19] <nVee> I want users to be able to modify that shared folder irrelevant if they are logged in or not
[08:20] <MadRobot> vadimkiselev, it seems it doesn't even exist.
[08:20] <SkiLZ> guiness, Firefox makes that beep sound to on facebook chat
[08:20] <MadRobot> vadimkiselev, synaptic couldn't locate it..
[08:20] <nVee> i understand the security issues
[08:20] <SkiLZ> so it may something to do with facebook
[08:20] <nVee> but this really is just an internal box
[08:20] <nVee> security is 0% a risk for me
[08:20] <nVee> :)
[08:20] <MadRobot> Is make the same as gmake?
[08:21] <maco> nVee: guess you could try it then
[08:21] <mari> nVee: you share with samba ?
[08:21] <nVee> mari, i think so (judging from my idiot questions you can see im very new to linux)
[08:21] <nVee> but i recall installing samba
[08:21] <nVee> or something like that :)
[08:21] <OdmincheG> .ощшт №гигтег-кг
[08:22] <meway> soreau: is there a way I coud make it reconnect to the router
[08:22] <nVee> it was one of those "do this, then do this, then do this" things :)
[08:22] <meway> OdmincheG: english please
[08:22] <mari> security in samba is easy, mouse right in folder, Share, Then in the options you can put access
[08:23] <guiness> skilz hit ur mute button
[08:23] <mari> sorry for my english
[08:23] <guiness> ao go to the output tab uncer sound preferendces
[08:24] <hi5> if with shutdown - r the pc goes reboot, but with shutdown from kde no way, what could be stopping it from work?
[08:24] <soreau> meway: You cant do anything without the kernel module working correctly - you need an interface to use the card
[08:24] <jitit> hey, how do i check which drivers my wireless USB card is currently using?
[08:25] <meway> soreau: what if I put in another card?
[08:25] <meway> soreau: could that help?
[08:25] <soreau> meway: If you have one, definitely try it
[08:25] <meway> Okies

[08:45] <SkiLZ> what happened there?
[08:45] <SkiLZ> netsplit?
[08:45] <Chilaquiles> I don't know why suspend not always work in my ubuntu 10.10
[08:46] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: how much ram do you have?
[08:46] <histo> SkiLZ: in compiz there is
[08:46] <Chilaquiles> it would stay on sometimes and sometimes it would suspend
[08:46] <Chilaquiles> ram?
[08:46] <Gnea> RAM.
[08:46] <Chilaquiles> mhhhh, im not sure
[08:46] <histo> SkiLZ: there's a water plugin. you can even make it rain. I don't know about reflection though.
[08:47] <Chilaquiles> is there any command that shows you that?

[08:49] <histo> SkiLZ:

[08:52] <soreau> ! help | anastasis
[08:52] <Chilaquiles> and then installed from windows
[08:53] <anastasis> i did
[08:53] <sxid00> May I get little help recovering zip archive?
[08:53] <soreau> Ascavasaion: You likely need to enable the drive in your system bios
[08:53] <bouter> anyone here with some groovy exp?
[08:53] <anastasis> too advanced for these guyz.
[08:53] <van7hu> hi all, is there any game likes "tux race" with people rather than penguin ?
[08:53] <Ascavasaion> soreau: Oh... let me check... be back in a bit.
[08:53] <histo> anastasis: you didn't ask a question
[08:53] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: can you visit http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[08:53] <mac123> anyone help getting a wireless adapter working?  bout to bang my head against a wall
[08:53] <Gnea> !wifi | mac123
[08:53] <Chilaquiles> yes
[08:53] <histo> van7hu: there are plenty of games
[08:53] <histo> !games > van7hu
[08:53] <Chilaquiles> I'm there Gnea
[08:53] <soreau> anastasis: Add aliases in .bashrc
[08:54] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: okay, I'd like you to open a terminal and then paste the output of this command to that site please:  cat /etc/fstab
[08:54] <Chilaquiles> ok
[08:54] <SkiLZ> histo, That rain thing is really lame and annoying..
[08:54] <histo> anastasis: if you did sorry Ididn't see it. I jus so your message
[08:54] <anastasis> ubuntu 10.10...trying to simply edit equivalent of bash_profile...my understanding is .profile in home... trying to addd simple alias creation on log in but the command i create doesnt work. I tried putting the .profile in my bin and its in PATH still no.. IM pretty N00b btw
[08:54] <histo> SkiLZ: yeap.  I remember googling wallpaper reflection or water back in the day and found something that would do it.
[08:55] <mac123> thanks for the wifi link but that won't fix it
[08:55] <Gnea> anastasis: for bash, it's .bash_profile
[08:55] <Chilaquiles> Gnea, http://paste.ubuntu.com/553084/
[08:55] <histo> anastasis: yeah you would have a .profile and .bashrc in yoru ~.
[08:55] <mac123> I've been searching the forum for the past few hours trying to get this to work and almost have it but not 100% there yet
[08:55] <soreau> anastasis: Put the alias in .bashrc then run source $HOME/.bashrc to make it active for that terminal
[08:55] <histo> anastasis: or .bash_profile
[08:55] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: as I figured, yes, you are using wubi
[08:55] <anastasis> thanks..will do ..ill let u knwo
[08:55] <sxid00> Atleast may I know, is there a possibility to get the data available in a splited archive, when we have only one splited archive, for example, zip.001 all other splited files are missing...?
[08:56] <ugmg> any one with sql server 2000 experience
[08:56] <Chilaquiles> ok Gnea, is there a solution then?
[08:56] <bouter> so nobody with groovy exp?
[08:56] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: thankfully, this question has been answered before: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How do I increase my swap space?
[08:56] <SkiLZ> histo, please help me Im trying to install enna media centre and I'm getting these errors: http://pastebin.com/ydCJd3zA
[08:56] <Gnea> ugmg: how is that Ubuntu related?
[08:56] <bouter> I can' t seem to find an active groovy channel
[08:56] <ugmg> >	hi,i have a brother study in medicine school and he brought to me and *.mdf backup database for sql server with a program after installing the sqlserver on local system and with windows and server authentication but i couldn't add the *.mdf file ,any know how to do it
[08:56] <soreau> anastasis: Actually in ~/.bash_aliases
[08:56] <histo> SkiLZ: I don't have a gui right now to check your link. It will be a few minutes before i'm in gui.
[08:56] <anastasis> ok
[08:56] <ugmg> gnea:>	hi,i have a brother study in medicine school and he brought to me and *.mdf backup database for sql server with a program after installing the sqlserver on local system and with windows and server authentication but i couldn't add the *.mdf file ,any know how to do it
[08:56] <Gnea> mac123: okay, perhaps you could provide us with some details of your system, or make a forum post and then just point us to the url
[08:57] <soreau> anastasis: Either should work, just source the file
[08:57] <Gnea> ugmg: we don't do windows here, you'll need to ask that in #windows
[08:57] <HugoGF> How can I install Java on here...?
[08:57] <HugoGF> On Ubuntu
[08:57] <Chilaquiles> it will be safe even if I have 1GB of RAM Gnea?
[08:57] <SkiLZ> Ok well can anyone please help me Im trying to install enna media centre and I'm getting these errors: http://pastebin.com/ydCJd3zA
[08:57] <ugmg> ok
[08:58] <mac123> so my wireless adapter will not show any wireless networks or connect to any manually entered ones
[08:58] <soreau> ! java | HugoGF
[08:58] <mac123> neither is the green light lit up
[08:58] <kibibyte> i have directory called repo: drwxrws---  13 csv    developers 4096 2011-01-11 16:13 repo    , the problem is im logged as user who belongs to group developers but i have permisson denied when i want to enter to directory why ?
[08:58] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: yes, just make a 2GB swap file and then swapon -a, like it says
[08:58] <Chilaquiles> Gnea, is not gonna make my system go slower?
[08:58] <Gnea> mac123: does it show up in lsusb or lspci?
[08:58] <sharif> How to restart from terminal ?
[08:58] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: not at all
[08:58] <Chilaquiles> Gnea, or any other disadvanage?
[08:59] <mac123> lsusb shows it
[08:59] <Gnea> mac123: what is it, exactly?
[08:59] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: it shouldn't be a problem - in fact, I need to do it, so I'll do it right now
[08:59] <mac123> Belkin F7D1101
[08:59] <HugoGF> ubottu: Thanks
[08:59] <mac123> followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815
[08:59] <HugoGF> ubottu: Hahaa.
[08:59] <Chilaquiles> Gnea, so then why ubuntu doesn't set it to 2GB by defaut?
[09:00] <Madpilot> sharif, restart the computer? "sudo shutdown -r now" works
[09:00] <Grav>  soreau: i know i can choose x settings there, but when i save and start Ubuntu it resets
[09:00] <mac123> that allowed it to show that I have a usb adapter and bring up the option in the little task bar but will not connect or light up
[09:00] <Madpilot> sharif, "-r" is "restart"
[09:00] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: some consider it a feature, not a bug
[09:01] <soreau> Grav: Could be a permissions issue. Try running this as your normal user: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME
[09:01] <soreau> Grav: Then reload the applet and resave the settings
[09:01] <Chilaquiles> so then it seems like a very simple task as suspend needs a lot of resources
[09:02] <mac123> any ideas?
[09:02] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: yup, so just make a new swapfile like it says to and it should work fine from there
[09:03] <Chilaquiles> ok i will follow the steps
[09:03] <Madpilot> Chilaquiles, suspend is moving your *entire session* to memory. Not actually "simple"...
[09:03] <soreau> indeed
[09:03] <soreau> Madpilot: From memory to disk*
[09:04] <Chilaquiles> Madpilot, so then if I ony have 1 window open then it shouldn't be a problem to suspend
[09:04] <Gnea> mac123: have you located it in the list of adapters that are known to work?
[09:04] <Madpilot> soreau, right. Being lazy w/ definitions tonight. Good point.
[09:04] <Madpilot> Chilaquiles, that depends on your system setup and much else.
[09:04] <Chilaquiles> ok
[09:05] <Chilaquiles> so Madpilot, you also recommend me to increase my swap¿
[09:05] <Chilaquiles> ?
[09:05] <soreau> Chilaquiles: Its almost like taking a snapshot or save state of your system. Your swap should be about the size of your system ram or larger
[09:05] <soreau> ! swap
[09:05] <Gnea> Madpilot: I suggested it since his swap is only 256M and he's got 1G of ram
[09:06] <Madpilot> Chilaquiles, equal or double your RAM is the usual recommendation.
[09:06] <Chilaquiles> ok thx
[09:06] <Gnea> figured 2G ought to be good enough
[09:06] <mac123> anyone able to help with a wifi adapter?
[09:06] <Madpilot> should be
[09:06] <soreau> mac123: Not if you dont ask
[09:06] <Gnea> mac123: please answer my question
[09:07] <mac123> thought I did im sorry
[09:07] <mac123> can you repeat?
[09:07] <ChrisDruif> Gnea: You
[09:07] <Gnea> 03:04 < Gnea> mac123: have you located it in the list of adapters that are known to work?
[09:07] <ChrisDruif> re talking swap is it?
[09:07] <Madpilot> I'm a lousy example, I don't currently even have a swap partition set up. But I never suspend (desktop, not laptop) and have 2GB of RAM, so it's not important
[09:07] <Gnea> ChrisDruif: what about it?
[09:07] <mac123> off of the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported#Wireless USB Adapters list?
[09:08] <ChrisDruif> I've got a hibernation problem, i.e. it just doesn't work at all...
[09:08] <Gnea> mac123: yes.
[09:08] <Gnea> ChrisDruif: laptop?
[09:08] <mac123> it's not on there
[09:08] <Chilaquiles> the dd if=/dev/zero of=swap.disk bs=1024 count=2097152 is taking long
[09:08] <ChrisDruif> Gnea: It's faster to shutdown and reboot, and yes laptop...
[09:08] <Chilaquiles> i wonder if thats normal
[09:08] <ChrisDruif> swap is big enough...
[09:08] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: yes, go make a pizza or something
[09:08] <mac123> but on the forums there are people who have gotten it to work.  Have spent the last few hours following those guides and have made some advances, but not completely working
[09:08] <anastasis> cool thanks...i found the .bashrc....why dont i have these other files in home... i can create i guess...just different versions different things??
[09:09] <Chilaquiles> i just want to go to bed
[09:09] <Chilaquiles> lol
[09:09] <Gnea> lol
[09:09] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: I'm making one right now, it is taking a long time... I blame ntfs
[09:09] <anastasis> soreau:cool thanks...i found the .bashrc....why dont i have these other files in home... i can create i guess...just different versions different things??
[09:09] <Chilaquiles> I should have done it tomorrow
[09:09] <soreau> anastasis: What do you mean?
[09:09] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: shouldn't take more than a few more minutes
[09:10] <anastasis> i dont have bash_profile or bash_aliases
[09:10] <Gnea> anastasis: you can create them
[09:10] <anastasis> right
[09:10] <Chilaquiles> I think I did it
[09:10] <Chilaquiles> it says 2GB in the System monitor
[09:11] <Chilaquiles> in the swap
[09:11] <soreau> anastasis: Look in .bashrc file. It checks to see if an _aliases file exists and if so, uses it
[09:11] <mac123> it refuses to scan for networks or connect to a manually entered one
[09:11] <soreau> mac123: What chipset is it?
[09:12] <Chilaquiles> so, its bad idea to make it more than 2GB in my case?
[09:12] <mac123> Belkin f7d1101
[09:12] <soreau> Chilaquiles: It would be a waste
[09:12] <anastasis> ah very cool. I will explore the code there further...Thanks
[09:12] <Chilaquiles> ok
[09:12] <soreau> mac123: Per lspci, not the market name
[09:12] <Chilaquiles> I just notice it that my memory usage went up by a quarter
[09:12] <Gnea> mac123: it sounds like it should work just fine, perhaps you're not using the correct firmware?
[09:13] <soreau> mac123: But I think belkin uses atheros mainly. Just find the line in the output of lspci and show it here
[09:13] <mac123> lspci or lsusb?
[09:13] <Gnea> soreau: well he did paste a link that outlines exactly how to get it working
[09:13] <soreau> mac123: Is it a usb device?
[09:13] <soreau> Gnea: Who what?
[09:13] <Gnea> soreau: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815  and he has a usb
[09:14] <mac123> yes it's usb

[09:14] <Gnea> !repeat | OrangePeel
[09:14] <soreau> mac123: Does iwconfig show a wifi interface?
[09:14] <OrangePeel> didn't mean too
[09:14] <Gnea> OrangePeel: why wouldn't it?
[09:14] <OrangePeel> Just wondering
[09:14] <OrangePeel> It should right?
[09:15] <Gnea> OrangePeel: yes
[09:15] <ChrisDruif> OrangePeel: If you want to know for sure; just try it :)
[09:15] <mac123> in terminal it returns:
[09:15] <OrangePeel> ok
[09:15] <Gnea> mac123: also, are you on 10.04 or 10.10?
[09:15] <OrangePeel> thans
[09:15] <mac123> 10.10
[09:15] <Gnea> ah
[09:15] <mac123> it has a bunch of specs on wlan0 but none on lo or eth0
[09:15] <Gnea> those instructions seem to work fine for 10.04 according to other posters
[09:16] <Gnea> mac123: sounds like it found it then
[09:16] <OvermindDL1> Greetings, Ubuntu 10.10 is using a built-in ancient version of Samba (3.5.4) which is incompatible with the new Win7 computers on my work network, when I try to remove smbclient so I can manually update to 3.5.6+ it tries to remove ubuntu-desktop, which is a bit undesirable.  What is the proper way to get Samba updated to a point where it actually works with other computers in Ubuntu 10.10?
[09:16] <mac123> it shoes up in the wireless icon in the task bar now but refuses to scan or join on manual input
[09:16] <Gnea> mac123: but as you mentioned, it's not actually attaining any of the ap adapters
[09:16] <OvermindDL1> It seems apt still has the most updated version at 3.5.4 for some reason?
[09:16] <mac123> it IMMEDIATELY says wireless disconneted and the status light does not come up
[09:16] <soreau> mac123: Now try sudo iw wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[09:17] <Gnea> mac123: open a terminal and type the following:  tail -f /var/log/syslog
[09:17] <Gnea> mac123: then try to connect again
[09:17] <soreau> mac123: Sorry, grep ssid not essid

[09:25] <Jordan_U> SkiLZ: Install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[09:25] <linux> i am new to linux servers
[09:25] <chaospsychex> any wifi experts in here?
[09:25] <Jordan_U> !expert | chaospsychex
[09:25] <linux> i want to know a step by step configuration of the postfix server and how to send mail using it
[09:26] <histo> SkiLZ: what was the link for the error you were getting?
[09:26] <Gnea> speakman: are you trying to forward only lan traffic or all traffic out of the tap0?
[09:26] <RobotCow> linux, i had it working in the past. It was setup to relay the mail to my isp's smtp server
[09:26] <oCean> !postfix | linux
[09:26] <histo> SkiLZ: nvm I found it
[09:26] <OvermindDL1> Seems there is a Samba4 backport, will it work fine with nautilus?
[09:26] <speakman> Gnea: primarily the local network (192.168.54.0/24)
[09:27] <linux> i need to create a webserver/mailserver , the webserver part was easy
[09:27] <histo> SkiLZ: did you enable some third party repo or something?
[09:27] <OvermindDL1> Hmm, and how can I remove smbclient without apt trying to remove ubuntu-desktop?
[09:27] <RobotCow> OvermindDL1, why dont you try it and see. if it doesn't, revert to your previous samba
[09:27] <SkiLZ> yea I think I did
[09:27] <SkiLZ> ages ago
[09:27] <OvermindDL1> How can I remove the old smbclient without apt trying to remove ubuntu-desktop too?
[09:27] <linux> please someone with experience and who is willing to help me send me a pm
[09:28] <RobotCow> OvermindDL1, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage
[09:28] <Gnea> speakman: well you'll need to use tap0 or tun0 to create a br0 with your eth0 or eth1
[09:28] <RobotCow> OvermindDL1, you will not lose any software if that is removed
[09:28] <user__> hello? i have a question, please?
[09:28] <Gnea> speakman: from there you can plug stuff into a hub or switch and it should talk directly across to the other end of the vpn
[09:28] <user__> <-- noobie
[09:28] <Gnea> !ask | user__
[09:29] <user__> ok
[09:29] <SkiLZ> histo, I think I did a while ago
[09:29] <SkiLZ> how can I fix this?
[09:29] <user__> question: i have just install ubuntu first time. i have a microsoft wireless mouse with one malfunctioning button that means i cannot focus windows properly. i cannot get drivers from microsoft. how can i disable the button??
[09:29] <histo> SkiLZ: disable the thrid party repo. Then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install enna
[09:30] <speakman> Gnea: I'm not trying to bridge, only route the packets through the vpn tunnel. The routing tables looks perfect and all.
[09:30] <SkiLZ> umm
[09:30] <SkiLZ> I think I have to replace the whole sources.list
[09:30] <Gnea> speakman: it doesn't work that way, you need to create the bridge.
[09:30] <user__> if somebody could PM me about this i would be grateful, i cannot follow the text its going too fast, and i cannot scroll up or maximise this window due to the mouse problem i have
[09:31] <speakman> Gnea: The VPN is setup perfectly. The endpoint (which I want to act as a router) is having no problem reaching any hosts on the remote network. But it just wont forward any packets, even though they're sent to it (correct dst mac address) and ip_forward is set to 1.
[09:31] <Gnea> user__: you can switch between windows with alt-tab
[09:31] <mac123> ok reading some more posts and someone is mentioning download rfkill because it might have an auto kill switch enabled
[09:31] <user__> i know this, gnea
[09:32] <histo> SkiLZ: no you can just edit it and comment out the third party repos. or you can do it through the gui
[09:32] <mac123> anyone know anything about this?
[09:32] <Line__> hello, how can i enable rdp support for my windows 7 guest in qemu?
[09:32] <abualijawad> hi to all ubuntu lovers
[09:32] <Gnea> speakman: perhaps you haven't set any iptables rules?
[09:32] <speakman> Gnea: "doesn't work that why" - why is that? I can't really see why it souldn't just forward the packets to a tap0 device, as it would to a e.g. eth0?
[09:32] <user__> i have a mouse with multiple buttons. one of the buttons is faulty and causes my windows to lose focus and hte mouse is basically useless. how do i disable this button?
[09:32] <ChocoCooks> hey
[09:32] <ChocoCooks> is cpanel good or bad
[09:32] <speakman> Gnea: No I havn't. This isn't an netfilter issue afaik.
[09:32] <Gnea> !poll | ChocoCooks
[09:32] <abualijawad> i want to know how to  upgrade 9.04 to 10.10 or 10.04
[09:32] <SkiLZ> histo, okay, so now I have Ubuntu Main Repos, Ubuntu Update Repos and Ubuntu Partner Repo... Sound ok?
[09:33] <ChocoCooks> i mean is it bad for ubuntu
[09:33] <ChocoCooks> would it mess up the os
[09:33] <user__> somebody must know how to configure multiple mouse buttons
[09:33] <user__> i cannot use xinput because the mouse name uses the "R" registered symbol and i cannot type it out
[09:33] <Gnea> speakman: well, it's like you said: ip forwarding like normal would require some iptable rules in addition to just simply turning on the ip_forward in proc
[09:34] <speakman> Gnea: are you completely sure about that?
[09:34] <Gnea> speakman: so just use the usual rules for that to try to forward the packages out of the tunnel interface
[09:34] <user__> i should have stuck with windows, at least everything works
[09:34] <speakman> Gnea: there aren't any address translations involved in pure routing
[09:34] <Gnea> speakman: if you can't bridge it, then iptables would have to work, and if not, then it'll need to bridge
[09:34] <SkiLZ> histo, ok, I still got the same error
[09:34] <histo> SkiLZ: yeah sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install enna
[09:35] <histo> SkiLZ: then the package is busted
[09:35] <histo> SkiLZ: i'd try searching on the forums
[09:35] <user__> does anybody care about my mouse problems?
[09:35] <Gnea> speakman: I used to use openvpn quite a bit, had to use nat in some instances and bridges in others
[09:35] <oCean> user__: stop repeating your issue please
[09:35] <user__> ok ocean. :(
[09:35] <SkiLZ> nah couldn't be
[09:35] <Gnea> user__: get a new mouse
[09:35] <speakman> Gnea: doesn't it sound like redundancy to have both a tap0 and br0?
[09:35] <SkiLZ> I have had this error with heaps of things I try to install
[09:35] <user__> that does not help, gnea. this is a $100 mouse.
[09:35] <speakman> Gnea: which interfaces would I bridge then?
[09:35] <SkiLZ> mainly the really cool looking ones
[09:35] <Gnea> speakman: not at all.
[09:35] <SkiLZ> like usplash ect
[09:36] <Gnea> user__: if it's broken, I wouldn't pay $1 for it
[09:36] <user__> it has a number of buttons only one of which is broken
[09:36] <user__> i need to disable this button
[09:36] <Gnea> user__: you haven't mentioned which button it is.
[09:36] <user__> because it causes the whole mouse to malfunction. it's the tiny button on the lefthand side of hte mouse. an auxiliary button.
[09:36] <splazo> seriously, that's the only mouse you can lay ahold of?
[09:36] <SkiLZ> lol
[09:36] <Gnea> speakman: you'd bridge it with whatever interface has the lan
[09:36] <user__> assume that this is my only mouse
[09:37] <SkiLZ> I have mice coming out of my ass!
[09:37] <oCean> user__: we've read your issue. now sit back and have patience, and try again in maybe 15 minutes or so
[09:37] <awanti> how to monitor Apache web server
[09:37] <user__> you cannot configure multiple mice without xinput command line in ubuntu?!
[09:37] <SkiLZ> wireless, wired, bluetooth, ps/2, usb, serial ect ect
[09:37] <user__> multiple button mice i mean
[09:37] <splazo> most computer addicts have a bucket of the things lying around the house.
[09:37] <speakman> Gnea: eth0 is the LAN and tap0 is the VPN. Should these be bridged together?
[09:37] <user__> unfortauntely i do not
[09:38] <GutZuWiSSeN> hi, i want to setup an ical server (need also todo list syncing) .. any advices which server i should use? calendarserver? davical ? or sth?
[09:38] <user__> if i could just disable this annoyingl ittle button everything would be fine, the mouse would work perfectly
[09:38] <Gnea> user__: sorry, don't know what else to recommend at this point, haven't ever had to turn a button off like that, and pretty sure there isn't a way for it to be done since people don't typically do that
[09:38] <SkiLZ> user__, just use the keyboard
[09:38] <user__> lets say you just bought a new multibutton mouse for gaming. how would you configure it?
[09:38] <Gnea> speakman: it'd be a safe bet
[09:38] <aurilliance> My ubuntu install has several package sources added to it that fail to update / work every time I try sudo apt-get update.
[09:38] <aurilliance> Is there some command to remove them?
[09:39] <home-alone> hi . VLC does not play flv
[09:39] <Gnea> !mouse | user__
[09:39] <splazo> most likely, it'd just start working without any effort on your part
[09:39] <speakman> Gnea: But being a bridge, how would the routing be configured?
[09:39] <Gnea> home-alone: why should it?
[09:39] <Gnea> speakman: well, eth0 and tap0 would become br0
[09:39] <user__> !mouse is not a valid command
[09:39] <Gnea> speakman: any ip you normally assign to them would be assigned to br0, plus br0 should pick up the mac of eth0
[09:40] <user__> this is very disappointing
[09:40] <Gnea> user__: see what ubottu passed onto you
[09:40] <home-alone> you mean vlc does not play flv format videos
[09:40] <user__> i cant even make this chat window fullscreen so i'm looking at a tiny tiny little window
[09:40] <Gnea> !mouse > user__
[09:40] <user__> i can't scroll up, what was it?
[09:40] <Bel_P> user__: It is likely that what ubottu told you will be your answer.
[09:41] <Gnea> user__: look in a pm window from ubottu
[09:41] <user__> i can't get into the PM :(
[09:41] <speakman> Gnea: feels like the wrong way to fix this - once again, are you completely sure there is no way to get packets routed from eth0 to tap0 as it would be routed from eth0 to another eth1 ?
[09:41] <user__> damn it, i can't with the mouse
[09:41] <splazo> no tab button on your keyboard either?
[09:41] <Gnea> user__: calm down.
[09:41] <user__> ubottu please post in main window
[09:41] <user__> sorry, i am calm
[09:41] <Jordan_U> home-alone: VLC does play flv files. Are you having a problem with that?
[09:41] <Gnea> !mouse | user__
[09:41] <awanti> I want to monitor my Apache web server. how? please. (from command line)
[09:41] <speakman> Gnea: this is a remote machine 500km away from me - I don't want to screw anything :)
[09:42] <user__> ok
[09:42] <oCean> !crosspost | awanti
[09:42] <user__> thanks ill try
[09:42] <Gnea> speakman: OH.
[09:42] <Leman_Russ> Hi.  Any idea how I can get my terminal to auto complete phrases?  I have seen my friends do this in Arch Linux?
[09:42] <OvermindDL1> Another question while I am here, in System Monitor (Ubuntu 10.10), the CPU % column shows "disk sleep" for a number of processes, during which the system gets *really* laggy, mouse jumps/freezes, etc...  Memory is 2.6 GiB / 3.9 GiB, Swap is 1.3 Gib / 8.0 GiB.
[09:42] <speakman> Gnea: sorry :)
[09:42] <SC-M> what is [Super] on keyboard?
[09:42] <awanti> ok sorry
[09:42] <speakman> SC-M: Win-key
[09:42] <Gnea> speakman: yes, it would be a correct solution, but yes, I would wait until someone is present on the other end and work with them
[09:42] <Jordan_U> SC-M: The key with a cape on it.
[09:42] <home-alone> vlc does not play flv for me . how can i upgrade it
[09:43] <Jordan_U> !details | home-alone
[09:43] <chaospsychex> i'm trying to install a package and i am getting a 'could not get a lock' error
[09:43] <SC-M> Nah.. I am using MacBook with Ubuntu right now.
[09:43] <user__> ive been to this page, the problem i have is i cannot type the name of the mouse because microsoft use the R Registered symbol and i cannot type that into terminal
[09:43] <Jordan_U> SC-M: Then it will be the "command" key.
[09:43] <speakman> Gnea: I'm sorry if I'm bitchy, but would you mind explaining why Linux has no problem forwarding packets from eth0 to eth1, but won't forward from eth0 to tap0?
[09:43] <Gnea> speakman: better yet - why don't you try it locally first?
[09:44] <llutz> chaospsychex: use sudo and close all other instances of  package-managers
[09:44] <user__> sigh
[09:44] <speakman> Gnea: (this won't leave my head until I find myself an explanation:)
[09:44] <Gnea> speakman: eth0 and eth1 are real interfaces and you can place them on the same physical hub or switch
[09:44] <home-alone> I am sorry for being on wrong server . I am running Debian
[09:44] <chaospsychex> llutz everything is closed
[09:44] <mac123> if I run locate on a file will it return the first result or all results?
[09:44] <chaospsychex> llutz: the only thing i have open is xchat and synaptic
[09:45] <Jordan_U> mac123: All.
[09:45] <mac123> hmmm
[09:45] <Gnea> speakman: tap0 is a virtual (read: fake) interface, it doesn't have a real connection to anything. creating a bridge to a real interface is the 'virtual' method of connecting a patch cable between a switch and a virtual hub
[09:45] <mac123> so I do it and it only returns 1 but if I manually go to the folder and do an ls it shows it's there
[09:46] <Gnea> mac123: it will return all results that it knows about
[09:46] <Jordan_U> mac123: What is the exact locate command you're using, and did you update the locate database (sudo updatedb) since the files were created?
[09:47] <speakman> Gnea: but connecting two interfaces to a hub doesn't make them share IP addresses?
[09:47] <mac123> did not update now it's returning the files correctly
[09:47] <user__> how would i apt-get "imwheel" program please?
[09:48] <user__> i typed "sudo apt-get imwheel" into terminal and it said invalid command
[09:48] <Gnea> speakman: also keep in mind, openvpn is not a typical vpn software, it's extremely extensible and flexible, so yes, it can handle nat just fine as well
[09:48] <Myrtti> user__: forgot the "install"
[09:48] <user__> install gotcha thanks hehe
[09:48] <speakman> Gnea: But anyway - isn't tap0 (in opposite to tun0) supposed to "emulate" an ethernet interface?
[09:49] <user__> i am such a noob
[09:49] <user__> XD
[09:49] <Gnea> speakman: whichever interfaces belong to a bridge device are not real devices anyone, only the bridge device is, so yes, whatever ip you assigne to br0 is what is assigned to all interfaces that are associated to that br0
[09:49] <Gnea> speakman: yes, tap0/tun0 is basically an ethernet device that faces the internet
[09:49] <Myrtti> user__: I've used Ubuntu for good six years now and I still forget it at times
[09:49] <santhosh> i have ubuntu 10.04 server cli. Is there a way to check all the system's ip running on a particular subnet
[09:49] <Gnea> speakman: s/anyone/anymore/g
[09:50] <hi5> santhosh: explain better pls
[09:50] <Mohsin_Khan> hi friends
[09:50] <FlacoVagabundo> Hi n.n
[09:50] <Mohsin_Khan> how are u
[09:50] <FlacoVagabundo> Fine, u?
[09:50] <santhosh> i have a server 10.04  command line. Is there any command or tool with which i can find the list of ip's of all systems running on the subnet
[09:50] <Mohsin_Khan> fine thanks
[09:50] <chaospsychex> i'm having a problem using apt-get and synaptic. i get an error when trying to install a package
[09:51] <Gnea> !repeat | santhosh
[09:51] <santhosh> that is if my server is running on 192.168.100 i need to find out all system ip running on 192.168.100
[09:51] <mac123> ok if I run iwconfig for the usb device it returns details, but says power management:off does that happen when it's not connected? or is it just automatically always off and needs to be manually turned on?
[09:51] <santhosh> no some one asked me to explain
[09:51] <santhosh> i didnt repeat it
[09:51] <nirazio> How to correctly install the latest Mono, Moonlight and Monodevelop instead of the version in Ubuntu repository?
[09:51] <Gnea> I saw you repeat the same question within 1 minute.
[09:52] <speakman> Gnea: if the former tap0 will change it's IP address, I think I will loose any routing (which does work) from the remote network, since it's pointing 192.168.54.0/24 to the tap0 address?
[09:52] <llutz> santhosh: sudo nmap -sP 192.168.100.0/24
[09:52] <Gnea> santhosh: this channel is publicly logged, btw
[09:52] <ChocoCooks> well i went wrong somehwere, my app crashed and burned
[09:52] <hi5> santosh all configured ip? do you mean the route command maybe?
[09:52] <SC-M> how to know ubuntu version in CLI?
[09:52] <FlacoVagabundo> How do I remove a partition from Ubuntu?
[09:52] <Myrtti> SC-M: lsb_release -a
[09:53] <Jordan_U> speakman: Why do you want to "bridge" these interfaces?
[09:53] <Gnea> speakman: I'm not following... why would you lose any routing?
[09:53] <santhosh> llutz: nmap command not fouund
[09:53] <iceroot> FlacoVagabundo: gparted is an easy way to do it
[09:53] <StrangeCharm> i'm using an external display with a laptop. how can i close the laptop without blanking the external screen?
[09:53] <user__> nothing is working im going to have to buy a new mouse >:(
[09:53] <mac123> ok how do I download a package from a windows machine to transfer to my ubuntu computer through usb and install it?
[09:53] <Gnea> Jordan_U: he wants to forward traffic between his lan and a remote openvpn endpoint
[09:53] <user__> FU microsoft for not providing drivers for linux
[09:53] <llutz> santhosh: when using a "server" you should know how to install stuff
[09:53] <hi5> StrangeCharm: are you using forceware/catalyst or open drivers?
[09:53] <FlacoVagabundo> iceroot I tried gparted but asks me to remove partitions larger, and there is no mounted.
[09:54] <Gnea> !language | user__
[09:54] <iceroot> FlacoVagabundo: dont get it
[09:54] <hi5> why yould MS provide drivers 4 linux, and 4 what?
[09:54] <SC-M> i'm using maverick (upgraded) but my ubuntu shows me my version is natty. why?
[09:54] <Jordan_U> Gnea: That doesn't require bridging, that requires routing. Bridging an ethernet network and a ip VPN doesn't make sense.
[09:54] <StrangeCharm> hi5, i haven't installed any custom drivers
[09:54] <SC-M> don't believe me? see at this log.
[09:54] <SC-M> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[09:54] <SC-M> Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
[09:54] <SC-M> Release:	11.o4
[09:54] <SC-M> Codename:	natty
[09:54] <santhosh> llutz: i tot it was an inbuilt command
[09:54] <Gnea> Jordan_U: I know, I've explained both methods to him
[09:54] <FloodBot2> SC-M: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:54] <santhosh> i installed it now
[09:55] <glaceman> hi guys, any compression tool for ubuntu ?
[09:55] <glaceman> and how to use it maybe
[09:55] <hi5> StrangeCharm: so when you close it the screen goes black?
[09:55] <santhosh> llutz: also i am a noob to ubuntu server so i cannot distinct which are prebuilt commands and which are to be installed
[09:55] <FlacoVagabundo> iceroot Then, as I delete a partition where I have installed ubuntu?
[09:55] <hi5> glaceman: tar
[09:55] <Gnea> !server | santhosh, llutz
[09:56] <glaceman> hi5: i would like to compress to .rar or zip, sending a file to a windows computer
[09:56] <hi5> if you dont need a GUI go for tar, or maybe Ark
[09:56] <StrangeCharm> hi5, yes, when i close it, the external screen stops recieving a video signal
[09:56] <Jordan_U> glaceman: Right click the file/ directory and select "compress".
[09:56] <splazo> 7zip's kind of nice
[09:56] <Gnea> Jordan_U: he didn't understand how either worked, so I just explained it (or tried to)
[09:57] <iLinux> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 11.04 Release:	11.04 Codename:	natty
[09:57] <iceroot> FlacoVagabundo: df -h will show you the sdx-names for your mounts like /, /home, /boot and so on
[09:57] <glaceman> Jordan_U: thank u very much
[09:57] <iLinux> is my computer has a problem?
[09:57] <iLinux> i'm using maverick
[09:57] <iLinux> i just upgraded
[09:57] <Jordan_U> glaceman: You're welcome.
[09:57] <hi5> StrangeCharm: there should be a config option that tells systems what to do when you close the pc..
[09:57] <iceroot> iLinux: uname -r  is showing what?
[09:57] <Gnea> iLinux: it says you're using natty, not maverick
[09:57] <StrangeCharm> hi5, it remains 'on' with the color black for a few moments, before saying that it's not getting a signal, entering power-save mode, and switching off
[09:57] <iLinux> Gnea: yes, but i'm upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04
[09:57] <FlacoVagabundo> Thanks iceroot
[09:57] <Gnea> iLinux: yeah, what does uname -r say?
[09:58] <StrangeCharm> hi5, there is. i can choose between blank screen, hibernate, suspend, shut down... but no option for 'do nothing'
[09:58] <iLinux> Gnea, iceroot: 2.6.35-24-generic
[09:58] <Gnea> iLinux: okay, what about lsb_release -r
[09:58] <santhosh> llutz: thank you so much
[09:58] <santhosh> llutz: can u tell me what that /24 is
[09:58] <iceroot> iLinux: sound like 10.10 with 2.6.35
[09:58] <hi5> very odd though
[09:58] <hi5> dont know what to do..
[09:58] <iLinux> iceroot: it MUST be maverick
[09:59] <llutz> santhosh: your network in cidr-notation
[09:59] <iceroot> santhosh: /24 = netmask 255.255.255.0  24 bit for the network, 8 bit for the hosts
[09:59] <iLinux> iceroot: because i only upgrade
[09:59] <iLinux> Gnea: Release:	11.04
[09:59] <chaospsychex> can someone help me fix apt-get

[10:00] <Jordan_U> iLinux: What is the output of "cat /etc/issue"?
[10:00] <iceroot> mac123: sudo dpkg -i yourlocalfile.deb

[10:03] <upsla> bullgard4:why ?
[10:03] <Gnea> chaospsychex: are you using sudo?
[10:03] <bullgard4> upsla: In order to reduce the noise in this channel.
[10:03] <chaospsychex> of course, i also tried synaptic
[10:03] <upsla> bullgard4:its an open channel. why you bother.
[10:04] <Gnea> chaospsychex: check your process list, maybe something else has it

[10:19] <nadastra> hi
[10:19] <Leman_Russ> Gnea: The reason I ask, is that you appear to have sand in your front bottom.
[10:20] <crazy> 大家好
[10:20] <doc`> i cant find my flashinstall in synaptic
[10:20] <ejv> Leman_Russ++
[10:20] <Gnea> Leman_Russ: you and ejv are entitled to your opinions, even if they are wrong.
[10:20] <sacarlson> upsla: also you say it works in windows,  can you look at what settings are used when it's working in windows like the ip and mask and other info seen there?
[10:20] <Leman_Russ> Gnea: Cool.  Just messing
[10:20] <oCean> !cn | crazy
[10:21] <q_a_z_steve> hey oCean will you highlight me back really quick, just want to see how empathy defaults will handle it.
[10:21] <minimec> upsla: I am pretty sure that you only need to configure your device correctly with pppoeconf. Right after boot you should have your device listed with ifconfig in a console. That would be a good sign to show you, that the device is recognized correctly by your system.
[10:21] <oCean> q_a_z_steve: sure
[10:21] <q_a_z_steve> oCean: sweet, it does nothing...
[10:21] <oCean> q_a_z_steve: hmm, but that's not what you wanted I guess
[10:22] <ivanz> how could I arrange to close all open program when screensaver activating - need hepl
[10:22] <ejv> ivanz: why would you want that?
[10:22] <Leman_Russ> ivanz: you mean you want to actually quit all open programs when your screen saver activates?
[10:22] <q_a_z_steve> oCean: I'll figure something out, although it does have growl (is that what *nix calls it) when the window isn't highlighted, so that's useful.
how u do that in windows ?
[10:23] <Leman_Russ> ivanz: that is going to cause you issues if anything needs to be saved before closing, even if you can find a solution
[10:23] <smiley__> can someone help me,the theme's from /gnome-look.org wont install
[10:23] <Leman_Russ> ivanz: and yeah, why do you want to do that?
[10:23] <smiley__> everyone i try wont install
[10:23] <doc`> i need some help with removing my current version of flash, i cant find it in synaptic
[10:23] <ivanz> Leman_Russ: yes; ejv: I wont to use public computer but don't want to mess from before
[10:24] <ejv> hmm that made little to no sense, so ima sleep on it, good luck :)
[10:24] <RainbowW> is ntfs write ready for prime time in 10.10?
[10:24] <sacarlson> upsla: I'm think it's someplace in control panel but my windows is stale,  try google it
[10:24] <minimec> doc`: If you use the official ubuntu package... 'flashplugin-installer'
[10:24] <Leman_Russ> ivanz: that doesn't make sense.  If it is a public computer, and the screensaver activates, you will still be the logged in user, so what is the problem.  When you log-out / turn off, your programs will all terminate
[10:25] <ivanz> if everybody open new for example firefox, after 10 people, 10 firefox will be open
[10:25] <Leman_Russ> ivanz: read my previous post
[10:25] <Gnea> ejv: taking the easy way out, I see. :)
[10:26] <Leman_Russ> Gnea: either that or his hooker has turned up
[10:26] <ivanz> I understand that I am log-in all the time and I don't want to log out, but I want to back to start position
[10:26] <doc`> minimec, i have that installed, but its not using that one, if i select dependencies it has conflicts with flashplayer-mozilla, flashplugin, flashplugin-nonfree, libflashsupport, xfs however i cant find those in synaptic
[10:26] <ivanz> start position desktop
[10:26] <Leman_Russ> ivanz: start position, as in you want no applications running?
[10:26] <Leman_Russ> ivanz: why???
[10:27] <Gnea> ivanz: that makes no sense, since you need to type in a password to get past the screensaver anyway
[10:28] <ivanz> because computer is public, and mybe somebody will use firefox, somebody will use mail,... I want when somebody quit from use , new person don't need to close work before
[10:28] <ivanz> Gnea: I will configure without password after screensaver
[10:29] <oCean> ivanz: do you know there is a difference between *logout* and *screensaver* ?
[10:29] <minimec> doc`: What ubuntu version are you using? What flash-package do you have installed (exact version)? This is the dependancies list of the maverick 'flashplugin-installer'...
[10:29] <minimec> doc`: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/flashplugin-installer
[10:29] <Leman_Russ> ivanz: if a user logs out, all programs will close.  A new user logging in will start from fresh.  End of discussion.
[10:29] <RainbowW> is ntfs write ready for prime time in 10.10? or is it still "you'll trash your drive if you try it"?
[10:29] <minimec> doc`: there is no 'flashplugin-mozilla'...
[10:29] <smiley__> anybody ?
[10:30] <ivanz> Yes I understand the difference, and that is reason why I ask for this. Logout I can solved with "timeoutd", but I don't want to log in every user
[10:30] <doc`> im using ubuntu 10.04, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ gives me version 10.0.45.2
[10:30] <oCean> ivanz: yes you would want that
[10:30] <wolfpack> smiley_
[10:30] <doc`> but a search for flash gives me no hits in synaptic
[10:30] <doc`> :/
[10:31] <ivanz> I just want to "killall" proceses with screensaver, but not kill user
[10:31] <SkiLZ> How can I install Enna media centre?
[10:31] <smiley__> i cant get no Theme's From gnome-look.org to install ?
[10:31] <oCean> ivanz: start a fresh session for each new user! really; any other way makes no sense
[10:31] <q_a_z_steve> hey r00t4rd3d, you awake?
[10:32] <Gnea> ivanz: It sounds more like you want a method to mess with someone else
[10:32] <minimec> doc`: so your installed flashplugin-installer package should be this flashplugin-installer_10.1.102.65ubuntu0.10.04.1_i386.deb Otherwise you don't use the official one...
[10:32] <markturnip> I'm using Ubuntu Server & my CLI displays fine on DVI but not through HDMI. I was working before I updated the NVidia driver. Does the xorg.conf affect the CLI also?
[10:33] <doc`> minimec, i did install that one from synaptic
[10:33] <doc`> but it isnt using it
[10:33] <smiley__> Anybody ?
[10:33] <doc`> there is something in the background thats being used that i cant find
[10:33] <ivanz> Gnea: I want to mess be cleaned when somebody is finished, automaticly
[10:34] <s3r3n1t7> Public and private keys aren't restricted by computers correct? So in theory, I can store my private key and use it everywhere?
[10:34] <oCean> ivanz: the method to "clean" a session is logout NOT screensaver. Accept that
[10:34] <minimec> doc`: So try to remove all flash packages with synaptic, then do a 'sudo apt-get autoremove' and a 'sudo apt-get autoclean' in a console. Verify in you browser, that no flash is installed anymore. Then install the flasplugin-installer again.
[10:34] <sacarlson> ivanz: and maybe delete all files in that users /home/user and maybe fill it with what is seen in a new account?
[10:35] <doc`> minimec, the only flash package i see in synaptic is the official one however that isn't being used, i will try that tho
[10:36] <ivanz> oCean: new sesion ask for password every time, and in that case if somebody is not good in computer and need help about pass. With screensaver there will be only link on desktop
[10:36] <smiley__> Does anybody know the anser ?
[10:37] <oCean> !helpme | smiley__
[10:37] <ivanz> sacarlson: very good sugestion
[10:38] <smiley__> ok,nevermind
[10:38] <doc`> ok minimec i did that i still have flash tho, it says i have version 10.0.45.2 installed
[10:38] <minimec> doc`: DO you remember having installed a version manually? In that case have a look in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins after(!) having removed all flash stuff with synaptic. If you still some flash stuff, remove that.
[10:39] <markturnip> I'm using Ubuntu Server & my CLI displays fine on DVI but not through HDMI. I was working before I updated the NVidia driver. Does the xorg.conf affect the CLI also?
[10:39] <minimec> doc`: Other source could be .mozilla/plugins in your /home directory.
[10:40] <smiley__> i might try linux mint
[10:40] <SkiLZ> Arghh Help!
[10:40] <doc`> in usr/lib../plugins/ i have libjavaplugin.so  libtotem-gmp-plugin.so librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so  libtotem-mully-plugin.so libtotem-cone-plugin.so  libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so

[10:51] <oCean> smiley__: you've downloaded a gnome theme? not gdm?
[10:51] <upsla> gnea:i saying because i tried the methods.
[10:51] <nits_hunter> ne2k: u mean my hdd is dying?
[10:51] <ne2k> minimec: why would he want PPPoE for a USB ADSL modem?
[10:51] <upsla> minimec:i not blaming the manual.
[10:51] <Gnea> upsla: someone has clearly told you how to get it working in that post, yet you refuse to even try it. we know you refused to try it because you didn't respond to it saying what didn't work.
[10:52] <ne2k> nits_hunter: well it certainly sounds that way
[10:52] <ne2k> nits_hunter: but you haven't supplied an awful lot of information. it would be helpful to know what actually came up during bootup
[10:52] <upsla> minimec:it did not work.
[10:52] <nits_hunter> ne2k: can u tell me what i should post? dmesg?
[10:52] <q_a_z_steve> oCean: what can I call my other "sources.list" files in .../sources.list.d/ ? Is anything .list allowed?

[10:52] <smiley__> whats the difference ?
[10:52] <Gnea> upsla: you need to say WHY it didn't work. just saying that it didn't work isn't good enough.
[10:53] <SC-M> upsla: pm me
[10:53] <upsla> gnea:i sent a private message to that person
[10:53] <Gnea> upsla: I don't care, you need to keep it public.
[10:53] <nits_hunter> ne2k: should i pastebin dmesg?
[10:53] <ne2k> nits_hunter: no harm
[10:53] <ne2k> nits_hunter: might help
[10:53] <Gnea> upsla: you're short-changing others that might find it useful, that is not in the spirit of ubuntu.
[10:53] <oCean> q_a_z_steve: yes, I believe so
[10:54] <upsla> gnea:sorry i did not know that.
[10:54] <Gnea> upsla: then you need to read up on what Ubuntu is.
[10:54] <nits_hunter> ne2k: http://pastebin.com/gD6dQRm3
[10:55] <Gnea> upsla: there's no secrets here, you can ask and keep the discussion out in the open and nothing bad will happen.
[10:55] <upsla> gnea:thing is i followed the methods in forum.but pppoe conf dialog gets stuck at 100% while scanning nas0
[10:55] <SC-M> upsla: just try eject /dev/sr1 or unmount /dev/sr1
[10:55] <SC-M> it's work VERY well for me
[10:55] <Gnea> upsla: then you need to reply to the forum and tell them that, that person can likely help you get it sorted out.
[10:55] <nits_hunter> ne2k: it might not be someone breaking into my system or something can it? some sort of virus or something?
[10:56] <minimec> upsla: First... After a normal boot sequence, do you see any eth0 device when typing 'ifconfig' in a console. That would be the first thing I would check. I would also check 'dmesg', to see if there are any errors while loading the device.
[10:56] <user__> hi. i need to DISABLE one of my mouse buttons because it is causing my mouse to lose focus on windows and i can't click menus. tried a number of things to no avail. any ideas?
[10:56] <oCean> smiley__: here is a difference between the DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT and DISPLAY MANAGER. Gnome and KDE are of the former and GDM and KDM are of the latter. The Desktop Environment is the whole user interface that loads up after you login, whereas the display manager is just a graphical login screen. That is all.

[10:59] <Gnea> upsla: your failure to communicate indicates a general lack of respect toward those who might otherwise be helpful, thus mitigating the fact that people will likely NOT want to continue to try to help you. By responding to that forum post, you can change that and people will likely respect and help you better.

[11:25] <q_a_z_steve> rmxz: vast between 10* and 11*
[11:26] <q_a_z_steve> rmxz: 10.10 has things that 10.4 will possibly work up to "canonizing". pun intended.
[11:27] <rmxz> Sure - but if I were to buy a motherboard today, do 11*'s current daily builds have enough working features for sandy-bridge that I'm likely to have a network and display working.

[11:45] <m1ndvirus> ne2k: It's a default Ubuntu wallpaper.
[11:45] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: What do you recommend me search?
[11:45] <ne2k> user__: like I said, do xev | grep button
[11:45] <bonjoyee> randy2009: see if theres .Trash folder on the disk root...
[11:45] <ne2k> m1ndvirus: this is a tech support channel
[11:45] <rmxz> [regarding my earlier questions on sandy bridge about 30 minutes ago] Googling for backports for supporting sandy bridge on 10.10 isn't turning up much.   Closest I see is an article on Intel's blog which suggests that the most viable alternatives as of Jan 4 were (a) compile your own kernel, intel drivers, mesa, and X, or (b) try the pre-released ubuntu 11*.
[11:45] <m1ndvirus> Wow, can someone just hook me up?
[11:45] <m1ndvirus> It's really not a big deal.
[11:45] <m1ndvirus> You don't have to throw a hissy fit.
[11:46] <m1ndvirus> Please, if anyone is nice enough, toss me that paper.
[11:46] <user__> i can't use this because the mouse won't work on it
[11:46] <m1ndvirus> I will be very grateful.
[11:46] <ne2k> m1ndvirus: which edition and version of Ubuntu are you talking about?
[11:46] <user__> the button itself is compressed, it won't click
[11:46] <q_a_z_steve> obscurant1st: that "tool" could be something you don't have installed. pkey anyone?
[11:46] <Michelle89> ne2k:where can i know how to use wget?
[11:46] <m1ndvirus> ne2k: It's 10.10.

[11:46] <go^> Can anyone help me with double video card on ubuntu ? i'm becoming crazy..........
[11:46] <ne2k> Michelle89: man wget
[11:46] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: are you running ubuntu 10.10?
[11:46] <user__> if i know which number represents which button i should be able to disable it with xinput
[11:46] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: No.
[11:46] <go^> MichealH, wget http://website/file
[11:47] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: but that's the background you want?
[11:47] <q_a_z_steve> the default background?
[11:47] <ne2k> user__: are you saying this button is broken?
[11:47] <jshmoe24> hello everyone
[11:47] <user__> the button is broken, i need to disable it because it causes my screen to lose focus and i can't use mouse
[11:47] <q_a_z_steve> hello
[11:47] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: Not the default background; one of the preinstalled ones, though.
[11:47] <ne2k> user__: as in, it's permanently stuck in, so you can't press it
[11:47] <user__> yes
[11:47] <jshmoe24> I have a critical error i need help with? Anyone
[11:47] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: google ubuntu artwork
[11:47] <ne2k> user__: gotcha. well, use xev |grep button to find out the numbers of the other buttons, and that will narrow your list down
[11:48] <q_a_z_steve> !anyone
[11:48] <user__> ne2k: the compressed button causes other buttons to lose focus in the xev window
[11:48] <sacarlson> randy2009: maybe you need to empty trash,  what does the command df return?
[11:48] <jshmoe24> alright then damn it !!!!
[11:48] <q_a_z_steve> jshmoe24: what can we help with?
[11:48] <user__> ne2k: in other words, i can't use xev
[11:48] <obscurant1st> q_a_z_steve: so you are saying it could be of some other package which doesnt come by default? I have installed openssl, and the pkey didnt return any result in synaptic. :(
[11:48] <q_a_z_steve> obscurant1st: hang on

[11:49] <q_a_z_steve> obscurant1st: what happens when you run openssl pkey --help ?
[11:49] <user__> i am so close. i can see the button map which is a list of numbers, and i know the name fo the button, and i'm pretty sure you can disable buttons using xinput, i just don't know which number corresponds to the button i need to disable
[11:50] <jshmoe24> Anyone?
[11:50] <jshmoe24> seen anything similar
[11:50] <q_a_z_steve> !patience
[11:50] <minimec> go^: What do you mean by double video card? Do you have one of these new laptops with internal intel GPU with a 2nd dedicated GPU?
[11:50] <user__> i reckon ii'll just try to disable each number in sequence and find out which button is which that way
[11:50] <obscurant1st> q_a_z_steve: same pkey is an invalid command

[11:51] <m1ndvirus> Couldn't find anything.
[11:52] <q_a_z_steve> then that doesn't make sense. "sudo openssl pkey --help" maybe?

[11:53] <m1ndvirus> Right-o,
[11:53] <m1ndvirus> Can someone please send me the wonderful red flower wallpaper as packaged with Ubuntu?
[11:53] <flazzid> can anyone explain where im supposed to put it please
[11:53] <minimec> go^: Ok. I guess if you first start Win7 and switch to the ATI GPU, your Ubuntu install should start on the ATI GPU. Otherwise it will use th internal Intel GPU.
[11:53] <m1ndvirus> I will be infinitely grateful.
[11:53] <q_a_z_steve> rmxz: good luck
[11:53] <rmxz> Thanks :)
[11:53] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: www.google.com
[11:53] <randy2009> Did someone find something? (problem where i can't create dirs (no space left) where i have 1,2 tb free space left)
[11:53] <obscurant1st> q_a_z_steve: why doesnt it make sense, for you some this is coming, i mean while executing openssl pkey --help?
[11:54] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: Thank you for your help.
[11:54] <ne2k> user__: well, for a three button mouse, for example, they represent which button to map to which function. so 1 2 3 would be the standard way, 3 2 1 the opposite (left and right reversed), 1 0 3 would be normal but with the middle button disabled. so you want to put a 0 in the position of the button you think is the one you want to disable. i.e. if you think it's the sixth button, do 1 2 3 4 5 0 7
[11:54] <m1ndvirus> Please, someone, just take a minute out of your busy day.
[11:54] <minimec> go^: Is that correct? We tested that on a computer of a friend of mine...
[11:54] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: so that you don't get a do while loop or something else.
[11:54] <user__> ne2k: gotcha. very helpful. thankyou. i will experiment with that.
[11:54] <go^> minimec, sure? i can try O_O
[11:54] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: You are not particularly helpful.
[11:54] <go^> but..if I reboot the GPU will remain the same?
[11:54] <obscurant1st> randy2009: why dont you do a diskcheck, i mean if there are some errors this may happen i suppose
[11:54] <q_a_z_steve> what is your technical question?
[11:55] <minimec> go^: Try that first... yeah ;)
[11:55] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: Can someone please send me the wallpaper I've been talking about?
[11:55] <erUSUL> randy2009: what is the size of the partition? ext* filesystem rserver 5% of space for root in each partition
[11:55] <ne2k> user__: just in case, try this: OLDMAP=$(xinput --get-button-map DEVICE); xinput --set-button-map DEVICE 1 2 3 4 5 0 7; sleep 10; xinput --set-button-map DEVICE $OLDMAP. that way you won't lock yourself out by disabling a button you need
[11:55] <randy2009> how long wil a disk check take? (it's a production enviroment:))
[11:55] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: I thought I asked it like a bunch.
[11:55] <m1ndvirus> I guess not.
[11:55] <sacarlson> randy2009: seems like it still has space,  what path is it your try to create and what size file is it?  can you try just touch a file there?
[11:55] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: do you have any resources to download the iso?

[11:56] <bonjoyee> randy2009: did you clear the trash?
[11:56] <ne2k> m1ndvirus: is it "serenity enchanted"?
[11:56] <erUSUL> randy2009: ok

[11:56] <minimec> go^: I don't know what happens, when you start the laptop on battery... As the intel GPU is there to save some power. On win7 it would automatically switch to the INtel GPU
[11:56] <m1ndvirus> YES!
[11:56] <m1ndvirus> Thank you!
[11:56] <flazzid> can some please help me  i just need to know where to move the patch to
[11:56] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: which is the one you want?

[11:57] <randy2009> bonjoyee: what do you mean with trash? (like in windows?:))
[11:57] <user__> ne2k: do i need to type that whole thing each time i try a different setting?
[11:58] <minimec> go^: So right now it is always using the INtel GPU when starting Ubuntu/Debian?
[11:58] <q_a_z_steve> obscurant1st: it gave me cipher commands and stuff meaning it worked
[11:58] <m1ndvirus> ne2k: Why's that?
[11:58] <m1ndvirus> I didn't want to download the ISO?
[11:58] <go^> yes

[11:58] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: You're a real douchebag.
[11:58] <ne2k> user__: well, you can use the scrollback
[11:58] <bonjoyee> randy2009: theres a .Trash-*** folder in root of every external drive..which holds the deleted data!
[11:58] <go^> minimec, if i change GPU on Win no..and reboot i think GPU will change mm
[11:58] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: we don't have time to google stuff, this channel is for things you can't find on your own
[11:59] <user__> ne2k: ok. i have set it to 1 2 3 (assuming two main buttons and scroll) and the rest 0's, but i don't seem to have any function
[11:59] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: Was I supposed to just pull "serenity enchanted" out of my ass?
[11:59] <obscurant1st> q_a_z_steve: no no check it just below the command which you execuuted. the message is there. For me also the standard and cipher commands shown. bu t it is there after the error message, can you please check it?
[11:59] <bonjoyee> randy2009: when it is used with linux!
[11:59] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: What would you have googled?
[11:59] <m1ndvirus> Huh?
[11:59] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: You're an asshole.
[11:59] <randy2009> can't find it
[11:59] <m1ndvirus> q_a_z_steve: Stop helping people. You just hurt them.
[11:59] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: I would have started with ubuntu 10.10 backgrounds
[11:59] <randy2009> yeah ubuntu 9.04

[12:01] <bonjoyee> randy2009: hmmm...what filesystem?
[12:01] <user__> ne2k: i need the command to simply keep the two main buttons and the scroll working and disable the rest
[12:01] <q_a_z_steve> m1ndvirus: and if I had time I'd have found it, I did ask you which one, because I was going to change my background and see what it would tell me. Just to get rid of you. Until you're ready to talk about installing.

[12:07] <rmxz> Here's a link referring to it: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-09/msg00457.html
[12:07] <user__> ne2k: thanks
[12:08] <obscurant1st> q_a_z_steve: i had already tried #openssl, no one is active over there i think, it been half an hour. And the channel #ssl is not there i think anyway i am trying my luck on #linux
[12:08] <q_a_z_steve> ##
[12:08] <q_a_z_steve> obscurant1st: there are other #linux-newbie or things too, just depending on who's awake
[12:08] <user__> ne2k: just to clarify, when you set your button maps you are actually disabling buttons on your mouse as soon as you issue hte command, yes? because i can't even seem to disable the main buttons with this command
[12:09] <rethus> ne2k: read-only. can i do this after normal startup, or did i need a live-cd?
[12:09] <obscurant1st> q_a_z_steve: are they under different server, i mean #ssl & #openssl?
[12:09] <yuler> obscurant1st: search for "ssl" @ http://irc.netsplit.de/ to list all channels on all IRC networks
[12:09] <ne2k> user__: it works for me
[12:09] <s3r3n1t7> Can i force diff to ignore all sym links?
[12:09] <user__> ne2k: ok. thankyou for your help with regards to this.
[12:09] <obscurant1st> yuler: thanks! :)
[12:09] <q_a_z_steve> obscurant1st: I don't know of any in particular
[12:09] <sacarlson> bonjoyee:  rmxz randy2009: I note that the /data folder is mounted on an xfs type partition,  I have never used that before,  maybe it's hardware raid?
[12:09] <ne2k> user__: are you running the command from the actual X session that you're trying to affect? from a terminal on it?
[12:10] <s3r3n1t7> sacarlson, XFS is just another type of file system
[12:10] <user__> ne2k: i was hoping this would be system wide?! i'm running it from terminal
[12:10] <ct529> hi guys .... anyone who knows more about how LD_LIBRARY_PATH is managed in ubuntu and why?
[12:10] <ne2k> user__: do you mean from a virtual terminal?
[12:10] <ne2k> as in, text mode?
[12:10] <user__> :ne2k: i guess so, yes
[12:10] <sacarlson> s3r3n1t7: yes I noted that just that I'm only on ubuntu 10.04 and I guess it's only up to ext4
[12:11] <q_a_z_steve> ct529: for what I know about any $PATH variable, you can set at will. what's your real question?
[12:11] <bonjoyee> ct529: please elaborate!
[12:11] <rethus> how can i remount /home in readonly. if i try to unmount, or  mount -r -o remount /home, i got: devicce busy
[12:11] <s3r3n1t7> sacarlson, 10.04 should support it as well, I've been running my data partitions on it from around 9.10
[12:11] <ne2k> user__: text mode?
[12:11] <rethus> so i better do this out of a livecd?
[12:11] <s3r3n1t7> rethus, because your home directory has open files. And yes
[12:11] <minimec> jshmoe24: That is strange, as you are only updating the current libc6 package. Is the maverick-updates repository enabled? I see that that repo is providing the same package, as the normal maverick repo. Maybe inactivate that repo (if activated)
[12:11] <user__> ne2k: i guess so. basic terminal running from the applications menu. command-line.
[12:11] <rethus> k, thanks.
[12:12] <ne2k> user__: no, no, that is not text mode. you are doing it right.
[12:12] <jshmoe24> jshmoe24@HP-640-Inkjet:~$ sudo apt-get -f install
[12:12] <jshmoe24> Reading package lists... Done
[12:12] <jshmoe24> Building dependency tree
[12:12] <jshmoe24> Reading state information... Done
[12:12] <jshmoe24> Correcting dependencies... Done
[12:12] <jshmoe24> The following extra packages will be installed:
[12:12] <FloodBot1> jshmoe24: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:12] <rethus> last question: i also have to copy /boot. how can i rewrite the mbr for the new hdd, where i copy all the data?
[12:12] <sacarlson> s3r3n1t7: ok and I don't see any bugs like what I see randy2009 is having with 1 tera byte left he can't even touch a file on that partition
[12:12] <ne2k> !kick jshmoe24
[12:12] <q_a_z_steve> rethus: dd
[12:12] <s3r3n1t7> sacarlson, i haven't followed the entire conversation, sorry. Let me scroll up a lil bit.
[12:12] <rumpe1> rethus, you can copy the mbr with dd
[12:13] <user__> :ne2k:so for example when you issue a command to disable all buttons, your mouse button can't click anything in any screen until you re-enable it again in terminal?
[12:13] <rethus> yes, but the new drive has another partition-table than the old
[12:13] <DarkStar1> Anybody good with Tomcat here?
[12:13] <q_a_z_steve> ne2k: /join #ubuntu-ops
[12:13] <DarkStar1> I need your help if you are
[12:13] <DarkStar1> badly
[12:13] <ne2k> user__: right, can you pastebin the output of xinput --list
[12:13] <ct529> bonjoyee: q_a_z_steve: I have been looking into it .... and I do not seem to udnerstand why there is no LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined even if the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ is properly defined
[12:13] <rumpe1> rethus, the you have to reinstall grub-bootloader (e.g. via chroot)
[12:13] <freinhard> hi!
[12:13] <randy2009> what does this mean?: tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/vg0-data
[12:13] <user__> ne2k:i will try
[12:14] <q_a_z_steve> ct529: because your .bashrc and .bash_profile don't ask for it?
[12:14] <ct529> it does not appear whne you set or export globally, you have to set it on a one by one basis, which sound a bit mad
[12:14] <user__> ne2k:i cannot select it with the mouse, so thats a negative. i can type it out by hand for you.
[12:14] <rethus> rumpe1: k, which command does the reinstallation?
[12:14] <rethus> only grub-install?
[12:14] <ct529> q_a_z_steve: if you use the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/, it should be set globally for all users
[12:14] <bonjoyee> ct529: its not a very good practice to use  LD_LIBRARY_PATH..google it to find more...
[12:14] <rumpe1> rethus, depends... for a chroot you additionaly need to mount proc and sys...
[12:14] <q_a_z_steve> ct529: export is not a global command
[12:14] <user__> ne2k: xinput list gives me a bunch of stuff you don't need to knkow and "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse® 1.00    id=8 (slave pointer 2)"
[12:14] <ne2k> user__: don't bother. just tell me what the id= number is next to the mouse
[12:15] <ct529> bonjoyee: I know about it, but the problem is that this is how ubuntu is set. so that packages are compiled to look for a globally defined LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[12:15] <rumpe1> rethus, and /boot, if its on a separate partition
[12:15] <ct529> bonjoyee: not my decision
[12:15] <ne2k> ok. so if you do xinput --get-button-map 8
[12:15] <rethus> rumpe1: its on the / partition
[12:15] <s3r3n1t7> randy2009, i scrolled up for your pastebins but they seem to have gone away. Could you paste the output of mount, and the content of /etc/mtab ? From what I could read thus far, you have a VM where you have 900GB free, but are unable to write a new file, correct? Could you also add the output of ls -alh /mount_location_of_drive ?
[12:15] <user__> ne2k:further cmomands are "xinput get/set-button-map "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse® 1.00" 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 " or "xinput get/set-button-map 8 1 2 3 4 5 0000000000"
[12:16] <user__> 8 being hte id of the mouse
[12:16] <freinhard> got a WesternDigital WD20EARS, a 2TB drive. i created a GPT partition table and a small ntfs and a large ext4 partition on it. in that cenario: what do i need partitiontable alignment for?
[12:16] <bonjoyee> ct529: i use it for some programs like ffmpeg which i compiled myself...
[12:16] <ct529> q_a_z_steve: I meant globally as = all
[12:16] <rumpe1> rethus, use one of the plenty of grub-recovery-tutorials on the net... except you don't need a live-Medium, if you just want to transfer one running ubuntu-system
[12:16] <rumpe1> rethus, then your actual system is your "live-Medium"
[12:16] <rmxz> bonjoyee: "LD_LIBRARY_PATH..google to find more"  - any hints what else to google for.    both my experience and skimming google, it feels more useful than bad.   (or is it that old SunOS4 rant you mention)
[12:16] <ct529> bonjoyee: yes, I udnerstand that .... I am doing the same but it is pretty annoying
[12:16] <phenom> Any one mind checking if firefox is owned by root? ls -l /usr/bin/firefox
[12:16] <rethus> rumpe1: so i could switch to init 1 ?
[12:17] <q_a_z_steve> ct529: my point although it may not help you, is once you login or out or su - to another user "export"'s setting is gone.
[12:17] <ct529> bonjoyee: either you define it on a one by one basis or you use the /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory, I do nto udnerstand this mixed startegy, it is very confusing
[12:17] <drt6778> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2010-08-16 09:41 /usr/bin/firefox -> ../lib/firefox-3.6.8/firefox.sh
[12:17] <phenom> I'm having a few problems, some of which may be compiled by my lack of understanding it's supposed ownership :P
[12:17] <ct529> q_a_z_steve: yes, I know that
[12:17] <rumpe1> rethus, for chroot to another ubuntu-system?
[12:17] <bonjoyee> ct529: i defined an alias like "alias ffmpeg='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ffmpeg"
[12:17] <sacarlson> randy2009: I'm not totaly sure what it means but it can be fixed http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-51985.html  with something like  e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/...
[12:17] <phenom> drt6778, Thank you.
[12:17] <rethus> rumpe1: no, to remount in write-mode
[12:18] <ct529> bonjoyee: that is a clever way, I tend to add an export line at the beginning of wrapper
[12:18] <phenom> I would have thought the firefox executable would have been owned by a user account vs root
[12:18] <rmxz> And the articles I see complaining about ld_library_path seem to say that Linux's /etc/ld.so.conf is bad for the same reasons
[12:18] <rumpe1> rethus, yes.... or just shut gnome down (perhaps already sufficient). You can check any remaining processes using /home with lsof /home
[12:18] <ct529> bonjoyee: like export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda/lib:/usr/local/cuda/lib64
[12:18] <s3r3n1t7> phenom, if it was owned by a user, that user would have more then likely write access.
[12:18] <q_a_z_steve> phenom: if so then other users couldn't necessarily run
[12:19] <rethus> rumpe1: ok, so i go down and copy the files first. come back up, if i have questions for grub and mbr. thanks so far
[12:19] <user__> i think i'm just going to have to give up and fork out money for a new mouse
[12:19] <bonjoyee> ct529: hmm...ok
[12:19] <rumpe1> rethus, your welcome
[12:19] <q_a_z_steve> oCean: bonjoyee is rmxz the same person as ct529 ??
[12:20] <q_a_z_steve> jk
[12:20] <ne2k> user__: try this: xinput --set-button-map 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; sleep 10; xinput --set-button-map 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13; and make sure it actually disabled all the buttons. then we will know xinput is working correctly on this device
[12:20] <user__> ne2k: ok
[12:20] <ne2k> user__: it works for me, I just tried it. all buttons disabled for ten seconds, and then restored
[12:20] <phenom> guys thanks, I fear my problem may be the result of some other bug. When I dl a torrent for example and set FF to automatically open that type of file with ktorrent.. It still asks me every time.
[12:20] <ct529> q_a_z_steve: what is rmxz?
[12:21] <q_a_z_steve> phenom: have you closed and reopened firefox?
[12:21] <rmxz> [apparently I'm another newbie on this irc that doesn't know the etiquette here]
[12:21] <q_a_z_steve> rmxz: ???
[12:21] <bonjoyee> rmxz: try "why ld_library_path is bad" in google
[12:21] <user__> ne2k: buttons still active
[12:22] <user__> ne2k:xinput must not be working on this device
[12:22] <biduzido> guys, I'm on a core2quad, 4gb ram. I'll experience a much lower performance if  I run a i386 version of Ubuntu? .-.
[12:22] <rmxz> bonjoyee: thanks
[12:22] <ct529> [12:19] <q_a_z_steve> oCean: bonjoyee is rmxz the same person as ct529 ?? < - I did not udnerstand that!!!!
[12:22] <q_a_z_steve> !ram
[12:22] <ne2k> user__: I'm afraid that has exhausted my knowledge
[12:22] <namnatulco> biduzido: well, you can't use the last GB of ram, just like when you'd run 32bit windows
[12:23] <q_a_z_steve> biduzido: that wasn't what I wanted. I've heard >3.2GB will warrant 64bit
[12:23] <allencch> hello, I have a problem to login Xubuntu with the new user. there is no option for me to choose "Xubuntu session", or any other session,
[12:23] <biduzido> I'm running now, it detects 3,9gb
[12:23] <user__> ne2k: your help in this matter has been highly appreciated, thanks muchly
[12:23] <allencch> when I login with the username and password, it will return back to the login again
[12:23] <bonjoyee> biduzido: depends on what you do with it!
[12:23] <drt6778> hi, if i want to install packages which are available from more than one package repo in my sources.list, how can I ask apt to prefer one repo over another ?
[12:23] <allencch> is there any way to solve this problem?
[12:23] <minimec> user__: I did not follow your problem, but if your mouse is working correctly and you only need a different button mapping for some specific software, maybe imwheel is your friend (even if it was programmed for Logitech devices)... http://imwheel.sourceforge.net/
[12:23] <q_a_z_steve> ct529 and rmxz -- > nevermind
[12:23] <user__> ne2k: i'll fiddle around a bit more, but probably i'm going to have to buy a new BASIC mouse!
[12:23] <q_a_z_steve> !enter > allencch
[12:23] <biduzido> bonjoyee, I'm running a VM through vmware and the performance as of now is sucking ¬¬
[12:24] <user__> minimec: i installed imwheel but i couldnt get it to work
[12:24] <phenom> q_a_z_steve, Yes, and reinstalled it etc
[12:24] <user__> minimec: i'll take another look at it
[12:24] <namnatulco> biduzido: well, that has nothing to do with RAM, but with VMware, I'd guess.
[12:24] <phenom> Tried to change ownership loke a mook to no avail
[12:24] <bonjoyee> biduzido: what is the host os? guest os? how much ram to guest?
[12:24] <q_a_z_steve> phenom: reinstalled will reset the preferences?
[12:25] <user__> how would i load imwheel from terminal? i tried sudo imwheel and it says "imwheel started" but the program doesn't initialise
[12:25] <minimec> user__: I am using imwheel for my Logitech G5. I do know that the config file is a little bit hard to understand... I had to figure that out too ;)
[12:25] <biduzido> bonjoyee, host is Ubuntu x86, guest has 512mb vs 4gb of the host, guest is XP Pro x86 too
[12:26] <user__> minimec: i am trying to disable a button that is malfunctioning, do you think i could do that by editing this config file in imwheel?
[12:26] <q_a_z_steve> biduzido: then you are limited by both concentrically.
[12:26] <biduzido> bonjoyee, interesting part is that through sys monitor, both CPU and RAM use are low
[12:26] <bonjoyee> biduzido: i run a similar setup sometime, just the host is 64bit, i cant say its that bad!
[12:26] <phenom> q_a_z_steve, Yep
[12:26] <minimec> user__: <Alt>F2 imwheel -k (kills all old imwheel sessions and start a new 'hidden' one)
[12:26] <bonjoyee> biduzido: oh yeah..i use VirtualBox by the way!
[12:27] <biduzido> bonjoyee, well it feels like i'm running on 80% of CPU use, while the real data is 20%
[12:27] <phenom> q_a_z_steve, But it didn't help
[12:27] <biduzido> bonjoyee, q_a_z_steve I think it might be a issue about multicore, maybe?
[12:27] <q_a_z_steve> phenom: so the settings are there now? ktorrent
[12:27] <alexbobP> how can I forcibly remove a package that has a broken uninstall script?
[12:27] <user__> minimec: thanks that is handy
[12:27] <alexbobP> it crashes with some python error and apt-get won't let me uninstall it
[12:28] <q_a_z_steve> alexbobP: man dpkg
[12:28] <phenom> q_a_z_steve, Yes, FF is set to automatically open torrents,, I had to reset it after reinstall
[12:28] <ne2k> alexbobP: dpkg -L shows you the files installed by a program
[12:28] <ne2k> package*
[12:29] <q_a_z_steve> phenom: does the same problem happen if you set to always open with another, like transmission?
[12:29] <^Phantom^> k i just hit a bug i think
[12:29] <^Phantom^> i'd post a screenshot but i can't
[12:29] <^Phantom^> i can't switch between windows
[12:29] <flazzid> ok im a newbie with ubuntu and i found where im supposed to move the patch  and when i do the " mv ath5k-injection-2.6.27-rc2.patch -T usr/src/linux-header-2.6.35-22/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k" it says " mv: cannot move `ath5k-injection-2.6.27-rc2.patch' to `usr/src/linux-header-2.6.35-22/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/': No such file or directory"
[12:29] <flazzid> why is it saying this
[12:29] <^Phantom^> and all the windows lost their title bars
[12:29] <user__> minimec: this config is completely non-sensical :/
[12:30] <ne2k> flazzid: you are trying to do something that is beyond you
[12:30] <bonjoyee> biduzido: window manager crashed i believe, what happened ?
[12:30] <q_a_z_steve> flazzid: even though, have you created that directory?
[12:30] <flazzid> ne2k: im trying to patch my wifi card
[12:30] <bonjoyee> biduzido: sorry...wrong number;)
[12:31] <^Phantom^> anyone have any idea why my system is doing this?
[12:31] <user__> il man page it
[12:31] <biduzido> bonjoyee, NP
[12:31] <bonjoyee> ^Phantom^: window manager crashed i believe, what happened ?
[12:31] <minimec> user__: Problem with the config is, that imwheel has some priority function. You can define a 'global' action and then do some 'exept' action for specific software. Also 'actions' at the bottom of the config file have priority (if I remember well)
[12:31] <flazzid> q_a_z_steve: its a default directory
[12:31] <phenom> q_a_z_steve, I'll give it a shot
[12:31] <^Phantom^> i'm not sure
[12:31] <q_a_z_steve> !patience > ^Phantom^
[12:32] <q_a_z_steve> bonjoyee: ??
[12:32] <^Phantom^> i opened a high-resolution picture in firefox, and when i zoomed in, all the windows lost their titlebars
[12:32] <^Phantom^> i've had other issues with hi-res pics before too
[12:32] <q_a_z_steve> liveCD?
[12:32] <q_a_z_steve> what hardware?
[12:32] <^Phantom^> there was one that crashed the computer completely D:
[12:32] <bonjoyee> q_a_z_steve: yes?
[12:33] <phenom> q_a_z_steve, Yup,, still doing it
[12:33] <q_a_z_steve> why did you C+P?
[12:33] <phenom> I fear I have some oddball FF Bug
[12:33] <rmxz> Another question about a new system I'm planning to build this week ... Any opinions which graphics cards work better or worse with Ubuntu these days; or do they all pretty much work?
[12:34] <q_a_z_steve> phenom: try rebooting your computer. flukes don't usually survive, and if it still happens, you may want to try #firefox on moznet.org I think
[12:34] <flazzid> ne2k: you said it was above me and ill agree as i am new to ubuntu but have no problems using backtrack and am quick at wep cracking using it but this is on my wifes laptop and she uses ubuntu
[12:34] <bonjoyee> q_a_z_steve: talking to me?
[12:34] <q_a_z_steve> !best > rmxz
[12:34] <q_a_z_steve> bonjoyee: yeah, you c+p'd ^Phantom^. no?
[12:34] <drt6778> hello, is it possible for me to specify the repository i want to use when downloading packages with apt-get ?
[12:35] <q_a_z_steve> ye
[12:35] <q_a_z_steve> s
[12:35] <^Phantom^> is there any way to restart the window manager without a reboot, like via terminal?
[12:35] <ne2k> flazzid: have you actually got the linux headers installed?
[12:35] <q_a_z_steve> ^Phantom^: ctrl+shift+backspace or something
[12:35] <bonjoyee> q_a_z_steve: yes i did ..why?
[12:35] <flazzid> ne2k: is it ok to pm you
[12:35] <ne2k> flazzid: you missed the slash off the beginning of the destination path
[12:35] <ne2k> flazzid: no
[12:35] <flazzid> thank you
[12:36] <q_a_z_steve> bonjoyee: That's what I'm asking you, why? doesn't matter.
[12:36] <rumpe1> ^Phantom^, ctrl-alt-f1, login, sudo service gdm restart, ctrl-alt-f7
[12:36] <rmxz> can I rephrase and ask if there are any graphics cards that are notoriously unstable with Ubuntu that I should avoid?   (aside from the sandy bridge integrated graphics with ubuntu 10.x)
[12:36] <bonjoyee> ^Phantom^: press ctrl+alt+del
[12:36] <flazzid> nek2: put first slash in and its still stating the same thing
[12:37] <q_a_z_steve> rmxz: I didn't mean to be rude, or anything. it's a valid deal #ubuntu-bots
[12:37] <phenom> q_a_z_steve, I may give em a shot. Thank you
[12:37] <ne2k> flazzid: also you are using mv -T which makes it treat the destination as a file, not a directory, but you specified a directory. why?
[12:37] <m1chael> im having trouble deciding whether i should buy a cheap asus netbook ($289.99+free s/h) with windows 7 starter OR an asus netbook ($399.99+free s/h) with windows 7 pro.. i would like to dual boot with ubuntu.. what would you guys do?
[12:38] <flazzid> ne2k: oops didnt notice that 1
[12:38] <phenom> m1chael, But a $399 gtablet, and slap vegan or the soon to be released cm7 on it.
[12:38] <q_a_z_steve> Don't dual boot a netbook
[12:38] <ne2k> flazzid: what guide are you following? what made you think you should be doing this?
[12:38] <phenom> Buy*
[12:38] <ne2k> q_a_z_steve: that seems like something of a over generalization
[12:39] <ne2k> q_a_z_steve: why would you say that?
[12:39] <^Phantom^> i accidentally forgot to write down what you said, so i just rebooted, q_a_z_steve D:
[12:39] <glaceman> hey guys, anyones knows how to sychronise windows mobile with ubuntu ?
[12:39] <^Phantom^> Good news is, I can share the screenshot now
[12:39] <q_a_z_steve> ne2k: mainly because harddrives and win7 on those things are not becoming
[12:39] <flazzid> ne2k: i am following the guide from http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=patching&DokuWiki=f125f415b6f00efac9d6b9e949840b9c  and i have to do it to be able to wep crack with my wifi card
[12:40] <q_a_z_steve> ^Phantom^: try #firefox on moznet.org I think
[12:40] <q_a_z_steve> ^Phantom^: oops sorry, never mind
[12:40] <q_a_z_steve> what was it I said?
[12:40] <m1chael> i dont want a tablet.. i'm a programmmer and a keyboard is essential
[12:41] <HugoGF> Hey, I just got the ATI Catalyst driver off the ATI website because I wanted to run Revenge of the Titans and it wasn't working..
[12:41] <ne2k> flazzid: you are going to have to recompile the kernel. are you comfortable doing this?
[12:41] <HugoGF> Now I can't enable normal graphics in the appearance menu.
[12:41] <flazzid> ne2k : no not really

[12:42] <phenom> given finances
[12:42] <^Phantom^> ^ that's what happened
[12:42] <ne2k> flazzid: I have also noticed a rather more fundamental problem -- you are trying to patch the headers, when what you need to patch is the source. the headers are just for compiling against
[12:43] <ne2k> flazzid: this is too complicated for you
[12:43] <flazzid> ne2k: it might be but how am i supposed to learn
[12:43] <q_a_z_steve> ^Phantom^: force quit firefox? Not sure I know the context
[12:43] <ne2k> flazzid: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1155599
[12:43] <^Phantom^> look at the top of firefox AND xchat, q_a_z_steve
[12:44] <^Phantom^> their titlebars are GONE
[12:44] <^Phantom^> as well as the downloads one too
[12:44] <ne2k> flazzid: that looks like it has the solution you need
[12:44] <q_a_z_steve> ok, window manager died, ok, so did you restart the gnome session?
[12:44] <^Phantom^> i restarted the whole thing
[12:44] <q_a_z_steve> or is this happening again?
[12:44] <^Phantom^> it's what i did the last time
[12:45] <^Phantom^> no it's gone now
[12:45] <q_a_z_steve> this is the high-res image stuff though?
[12:45] <^Phantom^> yeah, that's what happened after
[12:45] <^Phantom^> i was able to get screenshot
[12:45] <q_a_z_steve> did you ever tell us whether you were running 10.10 or whatnot, and whether this is a livecd?
[12:45] <^Phantom^> oh, sorry
[12:46] <^Phantom^> 10.10 on physical insta..
[12:46] <^Phantom^> install*

[12:47] <q_a_z_steve> what program are you trying to run to open? shotwell or gimp or something?
[12:47] <q_a_z_steve> Hi!
[12:47] <minimec> HugoGF: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils, then glxinfo --> paste.ubuntu.com
[12:47] <angelsl> i need help getting the audible bell to work. :<
[12:47] <q_a_z_steve> !anyone
[12:47] <^Phantom^> i opened the image from within irc, via a url
[12:47] <cdavis> I am not asking which is the best, I only need an opinion on somethign so I can read about it and figure out if it will work for me. I have tried Google and can't seem to find anything
[12:48] <q_a_z_steve> rhythmbox isn't doing it for you cdavis?
[12:48] <HugoGF> minimec: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils doesn't work...
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> cdavis:  banshee, rythmbox, amarok
[12:48] <^Phantom^> and upon zooming in to full-size, the image went all black, and the titlebars went byebye
[12:49] <angelsl> hi, the audible bell isn't working. help, anyone?
[12:49] <cdavis> Dr_Willis: Thanks, I didn't realize banshee would organize music, I willcheck it out

[12:49] <sniperjo_> im having problems using a small resoloution monitor (800x600) with emgd drivers, i get a Monitor not supported message after the grub screen, i can ssh into it, any ideas on how to fix it ?

[12:49] <q_a_z_steve> !sound > angelsl
[12:49] <s3r3n1t7> Can i pipe the output from differing 2 folders straight into a compressed tar file, without first writing the file that's being tarred?
[12:49] <minimec> HugoGF: You may have to enable universe/multiverse repoistory http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mesa-utils&suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names
[12:50] <q_a_z_steve> s3r3n1t7: what does man tar say?
[12:50] <^Phantom^> q_a_z_steve, is there a logcat for ubuntu?
[12:50] <s3r3n1t7> q_a_z_steve, that's not a useful comment.
[12:50] <q_a_z_steve> s3r3n1t7: I'm curious
[12:51] <glaceman> hey guys im trying to install synce to sychronise my windows mobile device with ubuntu, i entered the following sudo add-apt-repository ppa:synce/ppa , after that i did the sudo apt-get update, now what ? how to install it ?
[12:51] <^Phantom^> logcat is a terminal command i can type on my phone to see what is going on in the system via a live output in the terminal window
[12:51] <HugoGF> minimec: I fixed it
[12:51] <angelsl> q_a_z_steve: echo -e "\a" doesn't produce an audible beep
[12:51] <DarkStar1> ANyone good with Tomcat here?? I'm really desperate
[12:52] <angelsl> the terminal bell?
[12:52] <^Phantom^> is there a "logcat" for ubuntu?  i'd like to find one, so I can look and see what's going on if that problem happens again
[12:52] <HugoGF> DarkStar1: Have you done any research into it?
[12:52] <s3r3n1t7> q_a_z_steve, alt f2, gnome terminal, man tar and find out. I'm well aware that tar is used to create archives of one or multiple files. My problem is of a more advanced nature. The text file i'm creating is very large in it's nature and i do not want the uncompressed file to be written to disc or to be stored in memory. Therefor, I want to write this file straight into a compressed archive.
[12:52] <q_a_z_steve> ^Phantom^: check the system > pref and admin menus. I think there's something like what you are asking
[12:52] <minimec> HugoGF: so no problem anymore?
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> angelsl:  i recall that is disbled by the bpacklisting of the pcspkr module.
[12:52] <s3r3n1t7> ^Phantom^, logcat? you can view all the logs that are made either via log file viewer under system, or in /var/log.
[12:53] <HugoGF> minimec: No, so thanks :) But I wanted to get Revenge of the Titans working.. But it still doesn't..
[12:53] <^Phantom^> to better describe it, is there a live log viewer for ubuntu?
[12:53] <q_a_z_steve> s3r3n1t7: I understand your question, my point is if you want [input1] [input2] that might be something tar can already handle
[12:54] <sacarlson> ^Phantom^:  maybe like tail?
[12:54] <angelsl> Dr_Willis: hm, lemme check
[12:54] <s3r3n1t7> q_a_z_steve, if you think it can handle this, then you might as well point it out. Also, as you can see in the man page, there is no such option.
[12:54] <^Phantom^> sacarlson, I'm not familiar with tail.  what is that?
[12:54] <s3r3n1t7> ^Phantom^, a command line utility to view the last X lines of a text file.
[12:54] <snowblink> ^Phantom^, tail -f
[12:55] <rmxz> s3r3n1t1: " i do not want the uncompressed file to be written to disc or to be stored in memory."    Uh, so why don't you either compress it either before or after using tar to make the archive, but before it gets written to disk?
[12:55] <sacarlson> ^Phantom^:  it views the last few lines of a changing file  man tail
[12:55] <q_a_z_steve> s3r3n1t7: tell me again, you don't want to tar one then add the other, right? because that would have to uncompress the first to combine?
[12:56] <s3r3n1t7> q_a_z_steve, i have 2 very large folders (100gb+ each, containing on average 1m+ text files), for which i have to store the differential. I do not want to store the diff file uncompressed, as this would take up another huge chunk of space. The compression rate on average is about 99%, leaving a _much_ smaller file. I do not wish to add some file from somewhere, i just want the diff file to be written compressed right from the start.
[12:57] <s3r3n1t7> rmxz, mind explaining to me how i could do that then? That's exactly what i'm trying to achieve. Also, use tab to auto complete names. s3r + tab completes mine.
[12:58] <cdavis> Dr_Willis: Thanks, Banshee is workign exactly as I wanted

[12:59] <amd-x64> hi
[12:59] <ne2k> s3r3n1t7: diff file1 file2 | gzip > file.diff.gz
[13:00] <s3r3n1t7> ne2k, perfect, thanks!
[13:00] <ne2k> s3r3n1t7: or use bzip2
[13:00] <s3r3n1t7> ne2k, happen to know which one gives a better compression rate on pure text files?
[13:01] <ne2k> s3r3n1t7: bzip2 tends to
[13:01] <s3r3n1t7> ne2k, bzip2 it is then.
[13:01] <ne2k> s3r3n1t7: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000953.html
[13:01] <ne2k> s3r3n1t7: you'll need to check the command line options to make sure it doesn't need special ones to compress stdin to stdout
[13:03] <s3r3n1t7> ne2k, ofcourse. The decompression and compression times are not important, those may take a long time, The problem is size. I'll take a proper look at parameters.
[13:03] <amd-x64> ntfs write from linux is so slow cause of the driver?
[13:03] <angelsl> Dr_Willis: no luck..
[13:03] <amd-x64> read from ntfs is quite fine
[13:03] <systemparadox> afternoon. I just installed kubuntu on a new machine and have had to switch off compositing because it was far too slow (switching between virtual desktops could take several seconds). I've got dual 1980x1050 widescreens, but it's a GeForce 7300 so it shouldn't have that much of a problem. Any ideas? Thanks
[13:03] <ne2k> Monsquaz: any reason for the PM?
[13:04] <amd-x64> a 7300 is not much of a seed champion though...
[13:04] <amd-x64> speed
[13:04] <Myrtti> ne2k: may I pm?
[13:04] <amd-x64> ne2k he did it to me too
[13:04] <ne2k> Myrtti: no
[13:04] <DarkStar1> ??How do I rename a directory
[13:04] <bluelf> hi guys i am trying to connect a bt modem in ubuntu and assign it a com port
[13:04] <DarkStar1> via CLI
[13:04] <ne2k> DarkStar1: mv old new
[13:05] <amd-x64> systemparadox open driver or not?
[13:05] <minimec> systemparadox: Did you check for 'Additional Drivers' in the <System<Administration menu?
[13:05] <Myrtti> well then, I would have just asked you about what he pm'd about so that we could have established the fact that he/it was a bot.
[13:05] <Myrtti> ne2k: ^
[13:06] <amd-x64> i closed hip pm without thinking about it more than a second..
[13:07] <amd-x64> which remote desktop system is supposed to be fastest? vnc?
[13:07] <huoteihj> who know number is Chinese?
[13:08] <mungojerry> amd-x64 freenx is fastest that i've used
[13:08] <avis> morning all.  back full circle back to ubuntu
[13:08] <amd-x64> never heard about it, will give a try
[13:09] <Dedeee> huoteihj: clarify
[13:09] <mungojerry> although i just heard about turbo-vnc  - with a name like that it must be fast or i want my money back :P.
[13:09] <amd-x64> does it run on - all - distros?
[13:09] <amd-x64> lol xd
[13:09] <genjix> how can i get extended ascii? i see lots of <?> characters for terminal apps using decorative characters
[13:09] <genjix> (i assume i need extended ascii)
[13:09] <systemparadox> amd-x64, minimec yes I'm using the proprietary Nvidia driver. I'm not a newbie by any means.
[13:09] <amd-x64> i dont give much trust to turbo-like software..
[13:09] <mungojerry> amd=x64,  for a demo of freenx running on edubuntu, take a look at http://edubuntu.org/vmmanager
[13:10] <amd-x64> systemparadox: i never intended to assume that
[13:10] <mungojerry> its over the WAN but feels like LAN quality
[13:10] <amd-x64> was a simple question..though i insist that the power of the vga "could" be too little
[13:10] <jeeez> hi, is it possible to check usage statistics from my wireless router?
[13:10] <systemparadox> I did see mention of needing options for compositing with GLX, but the Xorg log file says that that's been enabled anyway.
[13:11] <rethus> so, now i'm on init 1 and have copy home and boot to my new hdd. But i still can't unmount / to remount it in (RO)
[13:11] <rethus> how can i do that
[13:11] <systemparadox> mount / -o remount,ro
[13:11] <rethus> returnd this message " / is in use"
[13:12] <amd-x64> rethus: new hdd, new install or both?
[13:12] <minimec> systemparadox: I did not pretend that... I don't know the power of a GF7300. I have a GF7600 with dual-Screen option working well here, but in 1280x1024 4:3...
[13:12] <mungojerry> rethus it may be safer to boot from a usb stick, then you aren't running your machine from your drive you are trying to copy
[13:12] <rethus> amd-x64: new hdd, copying all data with cp -ax
[13:13] <amd-x64> the -ax what does? xd
[13:13] <minimec> systemparadox: I recommend Enlightenment e17 using a dual-screen setup.
[13:13] <rethus> copy all userright, and x only copy data from same partition
[13:14] <mungojerry> rethus, have you seen http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/
[13:14] <amd-x64> ok nice to know that
[13:14] <rethus> i don't want to use dd if .- if thtas what the actile tells
[13:14] <mungojerry> yes it does :)
[13:14] <rethus> cause i have different partitions, and use it, cause of defrag my device
[13:15] <Prajwal> guys is there any surface operating system apart from Microsoft Milan?
[13:16] <rethus> nowi boot from my old xubuntu-livecd, that should do it
[13:16] <amd-x64> rethus: init 1 is terminal with single user?
[13:16] <rethus> can anybody tell me how i mount /proc, dev and sys - i forgot it... i need it to chroot and reinstall grub
[13:17] <rethus> amd-x64 yes
[13:17] <abhijit>  i am using the gnome xchat. where is the setting for tabs and tree ??
[13:18] <rethus> other question, while my xubuntu starts. is gnomeshell also such slow like on my system? i use 10.10 and its such slow, that working with it is impossible
[13:19] <egsome> abhijit, Settings > Preferences > Channel Switcher
[13:19] <Wolfsherz> abhijit: gnome-xchat is not xchat... it has reduced functionalities...i recommend installing xchat instead
[13:19] <dAND3h> hello, I have receieved this error in the terminal, when I try to load of counter strike: source, do you have any solution? thanks err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x15ce4d4 "?" wait timed out in thread 001d, blocked by 001e, retrying (60 sec)
[13:19] <systemparadox> rethus, something like this for mount of proc/dev/sys, etc: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/11558
[13:20] <minimec> Prajwal: Basically Android, I guess
[13:20] <abhijit> Wolfsherz, but i think its fast and uses less resources? or m wrong?
[13:20] <Prajwal> ok minimec
[13:20] <abhijit> egsome, no i am using gnome xchat which dont have that menu
[13:21] <mungojerry> rethus, when you say gnomeshell, do you mean the netbook interface, or regular gnome
[13:21] <egsome> abhijit, I didn't notice that, sorry
[13:21] <genjix> http://pastebin.com/XGN8fyMF <-- can anyone tell me why LANG is empty when I've set it to en_GB.UTF-8?
[13:21] <egsome> abhijit, You should go with xchat not gnome's one
[13:21] <kiran> hello guy
[13:21] <kiran> s
[13:21] <abhijit> egsome, yeah i have both but i think this is fast and uses less resources. just guess
[13:21] <rethus> mungojerry: i mean gnome-shell. you didn't seen this? the new gnomw-desktop 3.0 ?
[13:21] <Wolfsherz> abhijit: trust me in this one... gnome-xchat is just not what you would expect from a good irc-client.
[13:21] <abhijit> hi kiran
[13:21] <rethus> comes stable in april 2011
[13:22] <abhijit> ohhh
[13:22] <Guest32531> hi
[13:22] <rethus> maybe see youtube
[13:22] <abhijit> Wolfsherz, ok :)
[13:22] <Guest32531> i having doubt
[13:22] <egsome> abhijit, I'm using xchat for long time on Desktop & Laptop even Netbook, No problems at all
[13:22] <Guest32531> canu
[13:22]  * abhijit goes to switch client
[13:22] <zeta92> what can i do to make ubuntu10.10 from crashing?
[13:22] <abhijit> egsome, Wolfsherz yah sure. now switching brb
[13:22] <DND> zeta92 look into the logs and fix the errors there
[13:22] <mungojerry> rethus, gnomeshell isn't a mature product yet
[13:23] <zeta92> DND how do i do that?
[13:23] <DND> i mean fix the errors that generates in there
[13:23] <DND> cat /var/log/messages
[13:23] <Guest32531> but am not able to connect to the irc through college network
[13:23] <Guest32531> wat to do
[13:23] <Guest32531> pls anyoe
[13:23] <DND> ask your college. probably blocked 666X-666X
[13:23] <rethus> if i copy like this:  cp -ax /mnt/old_root/ /mnt/new_root, will old_root as directory-name appear in /new_root, or only the folders belov old_root?
[13:23] <zeta92> DND
[13:24] <zeta92> DND it randomly crashes the screen turns black it never used to do this
[13:24] <DND> zeta92 your query is too general. what i suggested is some maintenance. if you have a specific error please tell us
[13:24] <DND> zeta92 might be video card
[13:25] <zeta92> DND no i read some forums and it said it may be software errors since this is the beta version
[13:25] <DND> in the command line type: dmesg  or do the one i sucggested earlier
[13:25] <rethus>  if i copy like this:  cp -ax /mnt/old_root/ /mnt/new_root, will old_root as directory-name appear in /new_root, or only the folders belov old_root?
[13:25] <DND> it will show you the errors occured
[13:25] <rethus> or should i use cp -ax /mnt/old_root/* /mnt/new_root ?
[13:25] <rakzor> might want to do dmesg | tail
[13:25] <rethus> or with Parm -R
[13:26] <Wolfsherz> AbhiJit: happy now?
[13:26] <rakzor> or dmesg | less
[13:26] <minimec> Prajwal: Imagine a beagleboard http://beagleboard.org/ with a touchscreen integrated in a table http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imooGnX2hCU&feature=related
[13:26] <mungojerry> rethus, -ax will work with /mnt/old_root /mnt/new_root
[13:26] <Nanoha> I finally got my FTP up and working.  Now I need some  help.  I have the users chroot into user directories, BUT, I also want the users to be able to access another directory on the same level as the user sub folders.  I tried a symbolic link, but that doesn't work -- unless I did it incorrectly.
[13:27] <AbhiJit> Wolfsherz, not actually. i just found that i dont have that another xchat and now i my updates are running on which uses a lot of net bandwidth so cant use net to install that xchat!!! :'(
[13:27] <Prajwal> i looking for all stuff i could get for surface computing :)
[13:27] <mungojerry> -ax is recursive,
[13:27] <rethus> mungojerry: i know, but... copy it the folder old_root or only its content
[13:27] <Prajwal> i guess iphone, linux PMX androids all go into this
[13:28] <rethus> i think, it copy old_root, so there are this folder "old_root" as root-folder into the /new_root, right?
[13:29] <mungojerry> rethus, it will copy the content of old_root to a new folder called new_root,
[13:29] <rethus> but i need only the files within /old_root
[13:29] <rethus> ok, i'll try
[13:29] <rethus> mungojerry: have you seen a video about gnome-shell on youtube?
[13:30] <mungojerry> rethus, yes, but i didn't think it was ready - it got delayed another 6 months
[13:30] <JackieOh> http://heroesofnewerth.com/ref.php?r=887ADUL4 Best PC Skill Game out, Constant updates!
[13:30] <mungojerry> and it uses clutter, which has less performance than compiz (reason why unity uses compiz)
[13:30] <rethus> mungojerry: jes, i know. should come april 2011, but thats one reason why i installed now a gnome-desktop. till now i used kde
[13:31]  * ball feels frozen
[13:31] <x64-amd> i was talking to someone, lost network connetion btw
[13:31] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:32] <rethus> so i looking forward to the released gnome3.. maybe its a little desktop-revolution (maybe not)
[13:32] <mungojerry> i am skeptical , but i hope to be surprised instead :)
[13:33] <mungojerry> classic gnome + docky is working nice for me right now..anything else that comes along will need these features and more

[14:12] <om26er> war, could you take the image of the 'input' tab(using prntscr ket) and use imagebin.org to upload the image and give me the link here
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> Diverdude:  i suggest checking the ffmpeg faq - i think it gives examples...

[14:17] <om26er> HugoGF, you could go to the sound preferences from the sound icon in the top panel and select your headphones there first. after that when you unplug you speakers will be used and when you plgin you headphone it will automatically switch to headphones
[14:17] <BluesKaj> HugoGF, open alsamixer in the terminal amd set the ctrls there , make sure non of the relavent ctls are muted , use the M key to unmute
[14:18] <war> http://imagebin.org/132330   check this
[14:18] <HugoGF> I checked the forums, nothing.
[14:18] <BluesKaj> HugoGF, use the arrow keys to navigate and increase/decrease the volume
[14:18] <HugoGF> om26er: I'll try that.
[14:18] <HugoGF> Blueskaj: okay
[14:19] <HugoGF> Blueskaj: I have 2 that are on full(ish) settings and 2 called S/PDIF and S/PDIF Default PCM...

[14:38] <NET||abuse> wow, me english bad am...
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> lithionlx:  the ubuntu forums may have some info. or the winehq forums i guess. trouble shooting sich things can be rather daunting.
[14:39] <lithionlx> I dont think its a wine issue, its a graphics issue.
[14:39] <NET||abuse> anyway, when i login now it just exits the shell straight away
[14:39] <NET||abuse> i can log in as another user and su to root without running byobu
[14:39] <NET||abuse> but i can't get byobu to start now.
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> lithionlx:  sounds like a font in wine issue.
[14:39] <sumit> hello
[14:39] <Lxndr> I am attempting to RDP from my home computer (ubuntu 10.10) to my work computer (windows xp). My workplace has graciously provided me with instructions to connect (assuming I have windows) which include a server name and the 'name of my computer' both of which are apparently necessary. However, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to make this happen in ubuntu. Could anyone, with enough patience, walk me through the steps?
[14:39] <glaceman> hi sumit

[14:39] <sander^work> How can I see from witch apt repository a kernel i'm using is installed from?
[14:39] <lithionlx> lack of font would cause the units in game to not render?
[14:40] <SkiLZ> could this be because I can using a IDE dvdrom drive and sata hdd
[14:40] <glaceman> Lxndr: yes i can
[14:40] <glaceman> Lxndr: use the terminal server client
[14:40] <glaceman> it's like RDP
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> lithionlx:  sounds like a font issue in the installerm, and in the game. perhaps that winetricks utility may help if it isntall the font packa
[14:40] <glaceman> Lxndr: located under applications --> internet

[14:41] <dschuett> anyone use the new nano ipod with rythembox? - get error that states 'unable to initialize...unsupported checksum type...' any ideas?

[14:41] <glaceman> Lxndr: are u sure both machines can ping themselves ?
[14:42] <Sharsch> Dr Willis, I will check that

My workplace gave me instructions on how to set up windows to rdp in - this includes an address (remoteaccess.sunqustinfo.com) as well as a 'computer name.'

[14:57] <Dr_Willis> Digistras:  did you read the !grub2 wiki page/guides?
[14:57] <BluesKaj> Digistras, alt+f2 , gksu gedit /etc/default/grub , change the line GRUB_DEFAULT=0 , the line windows represents , remember the first kernel is 0 the 2nd is 1 etc so set the windows line accordingly
[14:57] <ActionJohnny> which Johnny keeps saying my name?
[14:58] <Lxndr> glaceman: Did I lose you? Sorry I'm not as fully versed with my situation as I'd like.
[14:58] <mourad> hi
[14:58]  * ActionJohnny here
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Digistras:  theres like 4 ways to do that..  BluesKaj 's way will work.. untill you get some more kernels installed...

[14:59] <Dr_Willis> Digistras:  also check -> http://www.delicious.com/popular/grub2
[14:59] <SergeyIT> Digistras in /etc/default/grub change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to = #menu item of win. Then sudo update-grub
[14:59] <Digistras> how do i take ownership of the grub file?
[14:59] <mourad> bay bay
[15:00] <Digistras> how do i take ownership of the grub file?
[15:00] <BluesKaj> yeah , that's the dirty quick way , puutting the windows loader as first in the list would be the answer , but I've never tried to edit the boot grub cfg file to do so
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Digistras:  you edit them as root.
[15:00] <sem_w> hello!
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Digistras:  gksudo gedit /path/to/whatever
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Digistras:  if you dont understand what thats doing. I dont suggest you mess with the grub files - untill you learn some linux basics.

[15:01] <mah454> I can not receive file in pidgin ... !
[15:01] <mah454> help me

[15:02] <Spaztic_One> Hey guys... Nautilus says that it cannot handle "computer" or "network" locations when I click on the respective links in either the Places menu, or on an open Nautilus window. Ubuntu 10.10, Nautilus 2.32.0

[15:02] <BluesKaj> bbl
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  make a new user - see if it works for them? If so you could try resetting all your gnome settings back to defaults.  Ive seen simile rerror messages befor.. but basically cleaned out/reset gnome back to defaults to fix them
[15:03] <SergeyIT> Digistras, sudo gedit - you will be root
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  if you double click on a folder - does it load in the file manager?

[15:05] <Dr_Willis> sem_w:  ubuntu tweak can install things from unofficial repositories.. but they should all get updated using the same as normal ubuntu apps would.
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> sem_w:  it enables the unoffical repo. so any updates to that repo. willg et seen/used
[15:06] <Spaztic_One> Dr_Willis: if I click on "home" nautilus opens fine, and browsing folders in nautilus works fine. Just the networking and computer locations that don't work
[15:06] <morbidwar> hello, i'm trying to run gconftool-2 form a script and with no success ( /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/metacity/general/button_layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close" )
[15:06] <mbeierl> how do I turn off the touchpad on a Dell E6410 if it's "not a synaptics device".  Syndaemon won't work for it?!?
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  Hmm.. Never noticed that issue befor.
[15:07] <sem_w> Dr_Willis: i understand . but ubuntu-tweak has the same softwares also on the "source center" tab. So i can see the for example the adobe -flash also there. So what that means ? i have to enable it also here ?
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> morbidwar:  you may need to use some single quotes instead of the " quotes.
[15:08] <morbidwar> Dr_Willis: ok, i will try now
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> morbidwar:  or you can put the arguments into a string variable and call gconfgtool $VARIABLENAME     - it sounds like the quoteing may be geting 'parsed/removed'
[15:08] <Larriv> im trying to conect my iphone on ubuntu10.10 and it doesn't work i've trying googleing but i dont find anything that help my, when i conect my iphone i have this errore message: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
[15:08] <Spaztic_One> Dr_Willis: yeah. Its strange. I think it started out as just the computer location not working. Well, I have Dolphin from Kubuntu installed, and that seems to work fine for network browsing.
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> sem_w:  ubuntu tweak ones would be unofficial ppa's/repos that are proberly more up to date. but it DOES have options to just install some apps from tjhe default repos.. it depends on the app.
[15:09] <stevie-bash> does preseed installation work with raid1?
[15:09] <sem_w> Dr_Willis: ok. thank you very much!...

[15:10] <[R00teR]> hola! un poco de ayuda por favor, tengo win xp instalado en una maquina virtual VirtualBox y funciona de maravilla, ahora intento usar "iwebcamera"  pero no funciona en VirtualBox, ubuntu lo reconoce bien usando WebcamStudio, pero windows xp en VirtualBox no. Alguien sabe porque puede ser? algo de la red?
[15:11] <SkiLZ> researcher1, #cups
[15:11] <m4v> !es [R00teR]
[15:11] <[R00teR]> sorry

[15:13] <vario-2> ActionJohnny, I've got same problem
[15:13] <Eber> guys... is there an easy tool to manage windows link the new windows 7 does?
[15:13]  * ActionJohnny here
[15:14] <vario-2> I can mount shared folder in command line, with "mount -t smbfs //server/folder /mountfolder -o .....
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> Eber:  clarify what you are wanting to do.
[15:14] <ActionJohnny> vario-2, what kinda problem, Johnny? Did you wake up drunk in a strange place?
[15:14] <Oer> Eber, giva an example ?
[15:15] <vario-2> what ? XD
[15:15] <TheVenerableZ> 64-bit Adobe's CS4 is the absolute  only reason I have Windows installed. Is there any way to run it on Ubuntu? Has anyone done it with Wine?
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> Eber: manage in what way?
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> TheVenerableZ:  check the wine app database.
[15:15] <Eber> For instance... I want one window to take over 1/4 of the screen and another to take the other 3/4...
[15:15] <vario-2> sorry I don't understand
[15:15] <[R00teR]> I try to use "iWebcamera" but does not work in VirtualBox, Ubuntu recognizes it fine using WebcamStudio, but not in a VirtualBox windows xp. Anyone know because it can be?
[15:15] <researcher1> !cups
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> TheVenerableZ: could run it in a virtualsystem but it will crawl, if its the main reason for the system's existence then you may just want to use windows
[15:16] <Spaztic_One> [R00teR]: You have win xp installed in a virtual machine, and it works marvelous, you tried using a webcam today and it doesn't fuction in virtual box. ubuntu works and uses webcamstudio, but windows in virtualbox doesn't work.anybody know  where to put it[?]? [something] the internet?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> [R00teR]: does it work on the native OS?
[15:16] <morbidwar> Dr_Willis: can you give me a hint on variables? i'm not good @ programing
[15:16] <[R00teR]> yes ActionJohnny
[15:16] <[R00teR]> in ubuntu works fine with webcamstudio
[15:16] <[R00teR]> but in virtualbox no
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> !abs | morbidwar
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> [R00teR]: do you have the non-open source virtualbox?
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> morbidwar:  i always just cheat and look at examples and change them
[15:17] <morbidwar> :P
[15:17] <morbidwar> thanks ubottu, Dr_Willis
[15:18] <[R00teR]> ActionJohnny, 3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1 (virtualbox-ose-qt)
[15:18] <niubbo> salve a tutti
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> [R00teR]: its ActionParsnip , not ActionJohnny
[15:18]  * ActionJohnny what's that Johnny?
[15:18] <[R00teR]> Spaztic_One, any program to use videocall  ubuntu-windows users?
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> [R00teR]: thats the opensource version. You need the closed source one
[15:18] <[R00teR]> sorry xd
[15:18] <[R00teR]> tab
[15:18] <bencahill> hey¸my mouse has a problem and many times double-clicks the middle button when I click, could I run a script to avoid this?
[15:18] <RainyLithuanian> Hi, my window handling icons [X] [_] [||] are on the left side instead of right, how can I switch that?
[15:19] <Spaztic_One> [R00teR]: I use skype. I think google has a program that can do it too, but I'm not sure.
[15:19] <SkiLZ> wow I just stuck a big ass fan infront of the side of my computer and video card temp dropped from 74c to 56c
[15:19] <[R00teR]> gtalk ?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> !controls | RainyLithuanian
[15:19] <rakesh_mec> @rainy ..  ubuntu has other themes in which those icons are on the right side
[15:19] <bencahill> [R00teR]: gmail video chat, not sure if it is on linux though...
[15:19] <Spaztic_One> [R00teR]: Yeah, that one. Don't know if it can do video or not.
[15:19] <Squeazer> guys i have a problem. When i run my script, that the command: "zip -d server.jar $RCLIST" i get a lot of errors, for every file that is not to be removed.... why?
[15:20] <RainyLithuanian> thank you!
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> SkiLZ:  you expected it to heat up?
[15:20] <Squeazer> the ones in the list get removed, but i also get an error for every other file that is not on the list...
[15:20] <bencahill> [R00teR]: yes it does, see here: http://www.google.com/chat/video
[15:20] <[R00teR]> ActionParsnip, what is the difference? :S
[15:20] <SkiLZ> lol
[15:21] <rakesh_mec> @rainy : install "ubuntu tweak" (not available in ub repository) nd there u cn actually tweak those icon position
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> [R00teR]: closed source one has raw USB access
[15:21] <SkiLZ> how can I reduce the temp more?
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> SkiLZ:  bigger fan....
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> SkiLZ:  better heatsinks...
[15:21] <bencahill> SkiLZ: unplug the card? :D
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> RainyLithuanian: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/
[15:22] <[R00teR]> ActionParsnip, but i dont need usb acces, iwebcamera works with wi-fi connection, no usb
[15:22] <bencahill> SkiLZ: freezer? :D
[15:22] <jcrawford> hey guys my laptop keeps dimming my screen automatically is there a way to stop this from happening?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> RainyLithuanian: there are literally thousands of guides about this, have you not researched any  for yourself?
[15:22] <[R00teR]> so, usb works fine for me in vbox
[15:22] <RainyLithuanian> hmm, well, that was a strange decision to put them on the left side, sorta like triangular monitors
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> [R00teR]: ahhh i seee
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> SkiLZ:  my gpu is 55C - and the room i am in . is very cold. :)   pc is my main source of heat.
[15:22] <bencahill> jcrawford: System > Preferences > Screensaver
[15:23] <[R00teR]> ActionParsnip, is not a true webcam, is an iphone app
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> SkiLZ:  room temp says its 14C in the room.
[15:23] <[R00teR]> but works in ubuntu but in virtualbox no
[15:23] <rakesh_mec> @rainy:  well what i kno is that ubuntu tried to mimic apple MAC .. in which the icons are on the left
[15:23] <jcrawford> thanks bencahill
[15:23] <RainyLithuanian> ActionJohnny, I got the new eddition a while ago, then I did search, but now I didn't check for them again, probably most of them are the new ones, as the issue did not exist before the new eddition:)
[15:23] <bencahill> jcrawford: np :)
[15:23] <RainyLithuanian> or relase
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. My OS-X apple mac - has icons on the right side... but its an old OS-X machine.
[15:23] <rob22> Hi just wondering how can i lock down nautilus so that user's can't browse to areas that i don't want them to browse to?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> [R00teR]: how do you access it normally?
[15:24] <SkiLZ> this is not a pc fan
[15:24] <[R00teR]> Spaztic_One, skype is payment app?
[15:24] <SkiLZ> its a room fan
[15:24] <RainyLithuanian> release*
[15:24] <SkiLZ> on a pole
[15:24] <rakesh_mec> @DR-wills..  i havnt used mac :) read somewr in the web :)
[15:24] <SkiLZ> its really windy and noisy
[15:24] <[R00teR]> in ubuntu? ActionParsnip by wi-fi
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> [R00teR]: skype can be a paid for service, yes
[15:24] <Spaztic_One> [R00teR]: Skype only needs to be paid for if you use it to call non-skype phones, such as someone's cell phone. Skype to Skype calling is free and unlimited.
[15:25] <bencahill> [R00teR]: you can pay to have a phone number and call phone numbers, but you can use it for free with other skype users with voice or video
[15:25] <[R00teR]> and on msn not work?
[15:25] <r00t4rd3d> meh , I got a mini itx box and windows 7 is faster on it then lubuntu. Someone please splain that one....
[15:25] <[R00teR]> all my friends use msn :S
[15:25] <bencahill> [R00teR]: msn?
[15:25] <bencahill> [R00teR]: msn != skype
[15:25] <[R00teR]> messenger
[15:25] <[R00teR]> windows live - msn
[15:25] <rakesh_mec> anyone here using GYACHI??
[15:26] <coz_> r00t4rd3d,   mm cant explain it... I would have to see and test the hardware on that first
[15:26] <bencahill> r00t4rd3d: weird, faster doing what/
[15:26] <bencahill> ?
[15:26] <r00t4rd3d> bencahill, everything
[15:26] <[R00teR]> it is difficult at this time to ask all friends to install Skype
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | rakesh_mec
[15:26] <bencahill> r00t4rd3d: :-O :-/
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> I would like to see benchmarks on that 'everything' remark.
[15:27] <bencahill> r00t4rd3d: aero?
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> :)
[15:27] <r00t4rd3d> its a epia m10000 board with everything onboard , video , sound , etc
[15:27] <bencahill> Dr_Willis: me too :)
[15:27] <r00t4rd3d> lubuntu boots slightly faster is it
[15:27] <TheVenerableZ> Dr_Willis, thanks, I'll give it a look
[15:27] <angelo> #ubuntu-it
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> but really if its actually 'faster' it would be drivers most likely.
[15:28] <TheVenerableZ> ActionParsnip: That's what I was afraid of...
[15:28] <[R00teR]> Empaty work fine with iwebcamera, but not connect to windows live contacts, and aMSN too
[15:28] <coz_> rob22,  this might be a starting point    http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/12/set-nautilus-display-configure-unix-style-permissions-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat/
[15:28] <x64-amd> lubuntu has which window manager?
[15:28] <r00t4rd3d> openbox
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> x64-amd:  uses openbox i recall
[15:28] <x64-amd> never heard it
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> openbox has been around for ages.
[15:28] <rakesh_mec> lubuntu means "ubuntu light" ryt??
[15:28] <x64-amd> does it have compiz-like features
[15:28] <r00t4rd3d> i think its mainly the video drivers
[15:28] <aeon-ltd> x64-amd: no
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> r00t4rd3d: it's all config and settings. I bet I have low end boxes which run faster, albeit not with ubuntu
[15:29] <aeon-ltd> x64-amd: you have to use your own compositing manager
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> openbox,blackbox,fluxbox.. grown/split/forked over the last few years.
[15:29] <x64-amd> i am only familiar with kde/gnome
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> rakesh_mec: no, its Ubuntu basic but uses LXDE + openbox instead of Gnome + Metacity
[15:29] <x64-amd> ok Dr_Willis
[15:29] <x64-amd> aeon-ltd: so like fwm?
[15:29] <rakesh_mec> thanks :)
[15:29] <Lxndr> I am attempting to RDP from my home computer (ubuntu 10.10) to my work computer (windows xp). My workplace has graciously provided me with instructions to connect (assuming I have windows) which include a server name and the 'name of my computer' both of which are apparently necessary. However, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to make this happen in ubuntu. Could anyone, with enough patience, walk me through the steps?
[15:30] <rakesh_mec> does anyone here kno how to change my chat text color?? :)
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> r00t4rd3d: install xpud, my amd 3000+ AM2 CPU with 2Gb RAM and PATA HDD boots in 3 secnods which is faster than any Windows box you own
[15:30] <aeon-ltd> x64-amd: never heard of fwm
[15:30] <aeon-ltd> rakesh_mec: that depends on your client
[15:31] <coz_> Lxndr,  if no one here can help at the moment you could also try the ##linux channel
[15:31] <deww> Lxndr: search for terminal server client
[15:32] <x64-amd> aeon-ltd: you dont lose anything worthy...it's old and ugly
[15:32] <deww> Lxndr: that supports the remote desktop protocol that Windows uses. how you conect back to your office is another question
[15:32] <FCGreg> Lxndr: it's going to be a little hard to help you without knowing the instructions your company gave you.  at the very least you will need an RDP client (like Temrinal Server Client" or an open source client)
[15:32] <minimec> Lxndr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsclient
[15:33] <rakesh_mec> aeon-ltd : im usin xchat
[15:33] <aeon-ltd> rakesh_mec: most likely in preferences
[15:33] <Lxndr> FCGreg: I can email the instructions they gave me. They're in a word document.
[15:34] <deww> Lxndr: you may not want t odo that, as it might have company private info
[15:34] <Lxndr> minimec, deww: I've tried to use both of those programs, without success. This is why I'm looking for a step-by-step assistance.
[15:34] <x64-amd> which is best burning sw in linux? even for authoring dvd's if possible
[15:34] <FCGreg> Lxndr: you can post it to a past bin service, but you should remove anything confidential from it first
[15:34] <FCGreg> Lxndr: yeah, what deww said
[15:34] <aeon-ltd> !best | x64-amd
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> x64-amd:  dvd authoring software normally dosent  do the 'burning' it normally makes an iso file you then burn with whatever you want.
[15:34] <rakesh_mec> aeon-ltd :  is it mirc colors or local colors in colors??
[15:34] <aeon-ltd> rakesh_mec: no idea, i don't use xchat
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> x64-amd:  i use 'devede' for makeing dvd video disks from avi files.
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> x64-amd:  i use devede in windows also. :)
[15:35] <x64-amd> i thought there was a nero-like one
[15:35] <x64-amd> nice
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> x64-amd:  theres a nero linux.. but i dont know what it does 'conversion' wise..
[15:35] <mbeierl> How do I control the behaviour of a track-pad mouse on a laptop?
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> x64-amd:  k3b is adding features all the time, but ive never noticed it doing dvd authoring
[15:36] <soXXy> hi
[15:36] <x64-amd> Dr_Willis: so with k3b you can vary options for the iso/udf compatibility?
[15:37] <rakesh_mec> aeon-ltd :) no prblm :) thanku :)
[15:37] <Lxndr> FCGreg, deww: From what I'm reading, the only thing that could even be considered "confidential" is the actual address... which I'd probably need to supply anyway to get help, no? Otherwise it's just screenshots of generic windows functions.
[15:38] <FCGreg> Lxndr: we can probably help without the address being in there.  mask it out if you can and then post it to a pastebin service or something
[15:39] <Quantum_Ion> Do you know if Ubuntu has a default firewall installed on installation ?
[15:39] <HugoGF> Quantum_Ion: Yes, it does.
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> x64-amd:  k3b has more options then i know what to do with.
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  it has a firewall.. but no default rules.. so nothing is blocked..
[15:40] <jshriver> greetings
[15:40] <jshriver> has Intel released drivers yet for the i3/i5/i7 yet that work
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> The CPU's work...
[15:41] <HugoGF> jshriver: I have no idea but I'm using an i3 processor at the moment and it works... What would the driver even do..?
[15:41] <jshriver> or how do you get X working even 3d for the i3 video card
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. my i5 laptop has an Nvidia Video card...
[15:41] <jshriver> video driver for the i3/i5/i7
[15:42] <jshriver> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[15:42] <angelo> i have two amarok links in the sound menu, how can remove one ?
[15:42] <HugoGF> There is no such thing as an i3/i5/i7 video card..
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> angelo:  'alacarte' program can edit your menus
[15:43] <HugoGF> angelo: Right click applications and go to edit menu and deselect one of the amaroks
[15:43] <Lxndr> FCGreg, deww: Here's the instructions, with the address scrubbed. www.twistedconfessions.com/files/sqvpn.docx
[15:43] <jshriver> well whatever I psoted above has had a bug in it's driver since 10.04 came out.
[15:44] <jshriver> just did a full update and appears to still not work, and vesa mode sucks :(
[15:44] <angelo> i have two amarok in the sound menu at the right top
[15:44] <FCGreg> Lxndr: roger that.  i'll take a look
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> Intel outsourced some of its video design   recently. and cant release proper open sourced drivers/specs for some odd-legal reason.. :( (thats what i read on blog sites at least)
[15:44] <HugoGF> angelo: Oh, I see you menu when you click the sound menu..?
[15:45] <HugoGF> angelo: To adjust the sound?
[15:45] <Dr_Willis> angelo:  you mean the speaker icon?
[15:45] <jshriver> guess I'm just anxious to get back to using Ubuntu.. I've been using Linux for 14 years and when I bought this laptop was shocked it wouldn't work. vesa on a wide screen sucks, so been stuck with Win7 for the past 6months or so
[15:45] <angelo> Dr_Willis, yes!!!
[15:45] <Guest99277> hi there
[15:45] <angelo> Dr_Willis, you can help me?!?!?!
[15:46] <jshriver> guess the proper term is Intel GMA drivers
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> angelo:  no idea . i rarely even use that icon. I find the player controls built into the volume control menu to be rather.. err.. stupid.
[15:46] <brasidas> hey guys I'm confused about Upstart in Ubuntu 10.04
[15:46] <FCGreg> Lxndr: (and deww ) the first problem i see is that they expect you to use Windows VPN to connect to their network
[15:46] <Guest99277> guys how do i change my nickname
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> angelo:  sounds like the program just crashed or goofed up. a Log out should remove the extra item I imagine.
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> !nick | Guest99277
[15:47] <Dr_Willis> Guest99277:  /nick BillGates_BigMoney
[15:47] <brasidas> should I still use the SysV style of managing services with symlinks in /etc/rc$.d/ to /etc/init.d/?
[15:47] <Lxndr> FCGreg (and deww): Okay. Can I work around that?
[15:47] <newnickname> zrs
[15:47] <Narcolepit_Devil> wow now back to my own name
[15:48] <brasidas> confused by the fact there is both /etc/init (Upstart) and /etc/init.d (SysV style) folders
[15:48] <BluesKaj> jshriver, I use intel graphics on my laptop or did til I gave it o my daughter and it worked fine with maverick...won't know til i get it back next summer if that still applies
[15:49] <FCGreg> Lxndr: not sure yet.  i've never tried to make a Windows default VPN connection from Linux.  let me check a few things
[15:50] <FCGreg> Lxndr: One thing is sure though... if you get the VPN portion up and running the Terminal Server Client software will work just fine
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> brasidas:  upstart 'fakes' the old sysv method for  the old services.. the sysv files are actually links to upstart files.
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> brasidas:  its best to learn about upstart i imagine.
[15:50] <jshriver> still digging around online
[15:51] <rob22> how can i lock a user down to their home directory so that they can't traverse anywhere else other than home, i would like it so that when they used programs such as nautilus file browser that they won't be able to browse outside their home directories as well
[15:51] <mino> hi felllow ubuntians :)
[15:51] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Thanks for trying! I'll keep my fingers crossed.
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> rob22:  for the most part - they cant hurt anything. so its not imporntant. gnome has some security settings. but ive never messed with them. Check Ubuntu-tweak and its 'lock down gnome' features.
[15:52] <mino> is there any music library software out there which can handle a huge amount of music (100.000) songs and more? Amarok2 cant do it :/
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> rob22:  they tried doing somthing like that ages ago in ubuntu, and everyone hated how stuff was hidden. so it got  removed in the next release i recall.
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> !hidden
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> !hide
[15:52] <DarkStar1> Does anyone here run tomcat 5.5 and know how to change the context root of an app?
[15:52] <brasidas> Dr_Willis: ah gotcha, thanks.
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> even the old factoid is gone. :0
[15:52] <jpds> mino: cmus? It's terminal-based though.
[15:54] <rob22> so is there anyway of locking a gnome desktop user to their home directory? so that they can't browse outside of it
[15:54] <mino> jpds: terminal-based is not what i hoped :)
[15:54] <jpds> mino: Banshee maybe?
[15:54] <jpds> mino: I imagine they all struggle at that size.
[15:54] <mino> banshee also cant handle such a amount :)
[15:54] <sacarlson> rob22: I would be interested in such a setting I might try that
[15:54] <coz_> rob22,   did that link help at all?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> rob22: they will be able to browse, they won't be able to view the data in other users home folders
[15:55] <rob22> coz_ thanks but the link didn't help that much
[15:55] <sacarlson> rob22:  I guess they will still need to see /bin and /usr/bin or they wouldn't be able to run anything
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> rob22:  ages ago i recall some koisk mode settings in gnome/kde. but not seen much mention about them in ages.
[15:55] <FCGreg_> Lxndr: good news.  it should work.  here are some pretty good instructions on the Ubuntu help site for setting up the VPN connection (which is the first step):  http://d.pr/MySk
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> rob22:  and they will still need to be able to write to /tmp/ and so forth..
[15:56] <FCGreg_> Lxndr: you only care about the VPN "client" portion of the instructions
[15:56] <rob22> sacarlson yes i'd still like them to be able to run programs in /bin but i just don't want them to browse linux i don't really want them to know anything about the os just want them to use the GUI
[15:56] <rob22> Dr_Willis yes they will still need to be able to write to their
[15:56] <sacarlson> rob22: I had been broken into on my apache server www-data and I was able to see from history files what he was able to see that gave me a scare
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> rob22:  i think you are putting too m uch effort into somthing that will get you very littel gain.
[15:57] <rob22> i've used apparmor to lockdown firefox so that they can't use file://
[15:57] <jshriver> How do you have prob the hardware to generate a xorg.con file?
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> theres cases where you would want to use file://home/yourusername/stuff ....
[15:57] <jshriver> been a while dpkg-reconfigure something
[15:57] <rob22> to browse, and i've locked terminal access so they can't use the shell, i just need to lockdown nautilus file browser so that they can't browse outside of their home dir
[15:57] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  wasnt it something like   setfacl  -m group:utkiosk:--- /usr/bin/nautilus
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  i rarely bother with the stuff like that. :)
[15:58] <coz_> Dr_Willis,   :)   understood
[15:58] <mino> rob22: how did you locked the shell access?
[15:58] <Lxndr> FCGreg_: Okay, so in theory, I have network-manager-pptp installed. I go to Network Connections, and choose the 'vpn' tab. The 'gateway', I imagine, is the xxx.yyy.com?
[15:58] <rob22> well in /etc/passwd i just removed /bin/bash to /bin/false
[15:58] <rob22> for the user
[15:58] <BluesKaj> rob22, glad you weren't my boss :)
[15:59] <mungojerry> rob22, i manage about 100 linux desktops. there is no need for such measures
[15:59] <rob22> mino in /etc/passwd i just removed /bin/bash and replaced it with /bin/false so that they don't have a shell
[15:59] <FCGreg_> Lxndr: Yes that sounds correct.  When it asks you for your VPN server (or VPN gateway) name/address, enter that IP address from your instructions document
[15:59] <sacarlson> rob22: I guess I could test it on a simulated user but I see things for that user or others getting broken
[15:59] <Neurotiquette> I'm trying to use mkisofs to create an ISO from a DVD in my DVD drive. I used "mkisofs -r -o /usr/ancientaliens.iso /cdrom/" per an example on the web, but this appears to fail... I think the /cdrom/ part is in error.
[15:59] <mungojerry> unix by design allows users to work within the confines of their user privileges
[15:59] <Neurotiquette> Any suggestions
[15:59] <rob22> mungojerry yes but i need to for my application that i'm writing
[16:00] <mungojerry> policykit?
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> Neurotiquette:  i just use 'dd' to image a dvd disk to an iso file normally....
[16:00] <Lxndr> FCGreg_: Okay, that's been done. (I tried that yesterday, to be honest. So it's already set up.)
[16:00] <mino> rob22: and you are running a full blown desktop with that? I think some desktop applications will break
[16:00] <sacarlson> rob22: in fact I'll test it in virtualbox
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> Neurotiquette: to make an iso of a dvd use:  cd ~; dd if=/dev/dvd of=image.iso
[16:00] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, If I install Ubuntu Linux without a firewall can someone access my /opt directory
[16:00] <rob22> mino na they won't break, it just stops them from using the shell
[16:00] <coz_> rob22,   actually I think nautilus would have to be patched for this to be effective
[16:01] <rob22> coz_ possibly
[16:01] <FCGreg_> Lxndr: So when you connect to the VPN connection, what happens?  does it work?
[16:01] <rob22> can i use apparmor to lockdown nautilus?
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> !apparmour
[16:01] <Lxndr> FCGreg_: Connect with what? There's no 'connect' option in the network tab.
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> !apparmor
[16:01] <Neurotiquette> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[16:01] <sacarlson> mino: rob22 ya I think some aplication might break for more then the cripled users
[16:01] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Connect with what? There's no 'connect' option in the network tab.
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> rob22:  i can think of many apps i use - that no shell access.. would break them
[16:02] <Neurotiquette> ActionParsnip: Will this work for CDs as well?
[16:02] <mino> at least gnome desktop will break without shell access i think :)
[16:02] <kreign> could someone help me figure out what the differences are between the "-server" and "-generic" kernels?
[16:02] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Connect with what? There's no 'connect' option in the network tab.
[16:02] <kreign> and would it be possible for me to build a kernel on -generic and use the modules on -server?
[16:02] <coz_> rob22,   maybe this will lead somewhere   http://sayamindu.randomink.org/soc/lockdown_soc_proposal.html
[16:03] <FCGreg> Lxndr: just tell Ubuntu to open that connection...  did it set up correctly?
[16:03] <mungojerry> rob22: look at pessulus for lockdown. also see http://users.telenet.be/mydotcom/howto/linuxkiosk/ubuntu01.htm
[16:03] <Upsla> Hello every one
[16:03] <Neurotiquette> Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip: Will this syntax work for CDs as well as DVDs?? --> dd if=/dev/dvd of=image.iso
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> Neurotiquette:  works for most devices...
[16:03] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Do you see the network connection manager icon in the menu bar, probably near your clock?
[16:03] <Lxndr> FCGreg: In theory, it's set up fine. How do I tell ubuntu to open the connection? There's no 'open' option anywhere in the network configuration.
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> Neurotiquette:  but if the disk is  a coemrcial video dvd. you might want to use k9copy
[16:04] <rob22> mungojerry cheers
[16:04] <deww> Lxndr: click on your network icon, vpn, select the one you just created
[16:04] <deww> vpn connections too
[16:04] <sacarlson> rob22: ya I would think apparmor would work on nautilus why not
[16:05] <Upsla> How do i contribute to linux ?.
[16:05] <coz_> rob22,    mm maybe this also   http://www.grumz.net/?q=node/384&PHPSESSID=7a805f064fd8162c10ec6354a05ac44a
[16:05] <popey> !contribute
[16:05] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Do you see the network connections icon near your clock?
[16:05] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, Should I use OpenJDK or Oracle Java on Ubuntu Linux ?
[16:06] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, found it. 'The VPN connection failed.'
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  I just use the open.. ive seen vew apps lately that need the oracle java.
[16:06] <rolandpish> What should I use to mount a remote folder via SSH?
[16:06] <FCGreg> Lxndr: does it give more detail?
[16:07] <llutz> rolandpish: sshfs
[16:07] <Upsla> How can i write drivers for ubuntu ?.
[16:07] <rolandpish> llutz, thanks!!
[16:07] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Nope, that's it. Just that one message. Well, it says 'The VPN connection 'Sunquest Information Systems' failed.' Which is just the name of the VPN.
[16:07] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, How do you know if someone broke into your Ubuntu Linux system while you were on the internet ?
[16:07] <FCGreg> Lxndr: If not, you should check the system log, and/or possibly the ".xsession-errors" file in your home directory
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  since my router is blocking ssh and other serviecs.. they basically cant get in..
[16:08] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Did you see the part of the instructions that you have to turn off certain things to get it to work as a regular Windows VPN connection?
[16:08] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, I see
[16:08] <doriangrey> hello guys! i have a very big problem here, i have installed ubuntu on my second pc that have the screen brocken and attached an hd tv as monitor via hdmi , all was fine and automatically i could see the pc desktop on the tv but when i made an update drivers and installed the nvidia driver (recomended ones) and restarted i could not see the desktop on the tv coz nvidia server require to set up manually the pluged monitors.. so i cannot set up it coz t
[16:08] <doriangrey> he pc screen is brocken! any suggestion?
[16:09] <Upsla> How do i wive drivers for ubuntu ?.
[16:09] <Quantum_Ion> wive ?
[16:09] <pippz> hello, i've a shell script with an output like "../../sdb", its simple to remove the point before the sdb with some command?
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  biggest danger to a Ubuntu box - i find (from being in here all day) is new users not understanding the fundamentals of linux, and doing stupid things.
[16:10] <pippz> i'm learning shell scripts, pardon
[16:10] <Lxndr> FCGreg: I think I deactivated everything, but now I can't seem to find that section again.
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> pippz:  'sed' or 'awk'
[16:10] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, Yeah like the biggest mistake I ever did in Linux was to run this command as root-> rm -rf /
[16:10] <FCGreg> hmmm, there are various settings you may need to turn off, depending on how your company has set up their VPN server... let me find something for you
[16:10] <FCGreg> Lxndr: (see above msg)
[16:11] <kreign> could someone help me figure out what the differences are between the "-server" and "-generic" kernels? and would it be possible for me to build a kernel on -generic and use the modules on -server?
[16:11] <djdarkman> Hi, is there a simple way to change the modified date of a folder that contains a lot of subfolders and files? it's in the future...
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  ive seen windows users accidently drag/drop system files to wrong locations.. and  not rember where/what. and have to do reinstalls.  each OS has its things to watch out for,.
[16:11] <craigbass1976> Is something along these lines: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Connect_MySQL_and_Base  still the preferred method of hooking openoffice database up to mysql in ubuntu?
[16:11] <FCGreg> Lxndr: first thing... in your VPN configuration, is their a way to turn on debug logging?
[16:11] <pippz> Dr_Willis: i still do ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/usb-SPCC_eSATA_SSD_00000000009E-0:0 | awk '{ print $10 " " }' ... and the output is ../../sdb, so i need to put it on a variable and re-make an awk or sed script?
[16:11] <tevoda> How do I force mail to use Maildir? Mutt and pico work fine but not mail.
[16:11] <tevoda> er -pico
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> pippz:  pipt it to sed with the right options to trim out a . ,
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> kreign: server has PAE in it, like the -pae kernel as well as some optomisations for background services. The generic kernel is more optomised for foreground apps (like a desktop)
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> pipe.. ;)
[16:12] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Not that I can find.
[16:12] <Quantum_Ion> I wouldn't say Ubuntu Linux is the most secure operating system in the world but it is great for hobbyiest and is a lot of fun to use
[16:12] <pippz> Dr_Willis: ok, i try it right now.. so | sed something
[16:12] <avinash> hello everyone !! :-)
[16:12] <FCGreg> Lxndr: (I ask that because I don't use VPN connections like this from Ubuntu... I use a different type)
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  security is a 'process/methodology/practice'  not somthign that just 'is' :)
[16:12] <kreign> ActionParsnip, ah, thank you. I figured it was something like that (timer interrupts, scheduler?)
[16:13] <FCGreg> Lxndr: hang on, i'll check something
[16:13] <Quantum_Ion> The best part is it is free so you dont have to buy an MS Operating anymore because of Ubuntu Linux
[16:13] <kreign> ActionParsnip, any idea if dpkg will complain about a package made on the same kernel version, just -generic instead of -server?
[16:13] <kreign> Quantum_Ion, not secure, in what way?
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> You can lock things down so tight they are unuseable.. but whats the use in that. :)
[16:14] <Quantum_Ion> kreign, Secure as in OpenBSD type secure
[16:14] <FCGreg> Lxndr: please ensure (in Synaptic or whatever) that you have the package: network-manager-pptp   installed
[16:14] <kreign> Quantum_Ion, ... OpenBSD isn't all that secure. They just have good marketing.
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> kreign: you can have all the kernels installed if you want, it'll get quite bloated though
[16:15] <tevoda> How do I force mail to use Maildir? if I use any other mail app it works fine but not mail.
[16:15] <KM0201> Quantum_Ion: security starts with the knucklehad pounding on the keyboard... Ubuntu (for me) is quite secure.  Frankly, I never had to many probs w/ Windows, but i love the free aspect of Linux.
[16:15] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Confirmed. network-manager-pptp is installed.
[16:15] <Quantum_Ion> kreign, Well OpenBSD is probably the most secure free unix-like operating system on the planet because all the source code is audited
[16:15] <avinash> is upgrading from lucid to maverick better or doing a clean install??
[16:16] <[R00teR]> luego vengo
[16:16] <[R00teR]> nos vemos!
[16:16] <KM0201> avinash: i prefer clean installs... but thats not to say an upgrade won't work... if you're having a lot of problems w/ lucid, then a clean install would probably be better
[16:16] <damex> hi, i have question: can i make showing at the gnome-panel tasktar only icons for eachtask instead of icon+text?
[16:16] <FCGreg> Lxndr: how are you connecting to the Internet?  DSL, cable, etc.?  is your home network wired or wireless
[16:16] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Wired. (Well, there's a wireless hub, but this computer isn't using it). It's a cable modem.
[16:17] <kreign> ActionParsnip, right, I'm not talking about having them installed. I'm building modules on another (desktop) host and just wondering if the -generic linked modules would work, is all.
[16:17] <avinash> thanx km0201
[16:17] <KM0201> damex: best way i've found to do that, is to add "window selector"... to the panel... and remove window list from the panel...  but thats not exactly what you're looking for.
[16:17] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK, is your computer hooked to the hub, or directly to the cable modem, or what?
[16:17] <kreign> Quantum_Ion, the kernel may be more inherrently secure, sure.
[16:17] <HHabib> Dr_Willis: I did put a 10.04.1 Live CD ..and now I am getting new messages.
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> damex: could use a dock
[16:17] <damex> KM0201: :(
[16:17] <kreign> Quantum_Ion, now if only it were usable, too.
[16:17] <damex> ActionParsnip: dock heh ... im trying to make panel minimal
[16:18] <Lxndr> FCGreg: To the router/hub/thing. My landlord set that part up, and sadly, he's sleeping and it's in his room.
[16:18] <Quantum_Ion> I only worry about Ubuntu Linux when I am on a public WiFi spot someone could be monitoring my communications
[16:18] <kreign> Quantum_Ion, the only thing I can think of where I'd want to run openbsd, I'd probably run pfsense instead.
[16:18] <avinash> but i found out that a clean install took 6 or so mins but upgradation took around 1.5 hrs..
[16:18] <avinash> why is it so??
[16:19] <KM0201> damex: if you want minimal, you should look at window selector... its pretty awesome
[16:19] <HHabib> Okay guys I am getting the grub rescue prompt and I am running outta ideas here can anybody help?
[16:19] <deww> avinash: probably inspecting the existing config
[16:19] <FCGreg> Lxndr: ok then.  we'll assume that part works for now, and we know you're connecting through a wired network.
[16:19] <Quantum_Ion> You can go into the public library or StarBucks coffee shop and wonder if someone is spying on your Wifi connection
[16:19] <compdoc> deww?
[16:19] <avinash> ooh i see.. :)
[16:19] <deww> compdoc: hi
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> damex: try wingpanel  the public library or StarBucks coffee shop and wonder if someone is spyin
[16:19] <compdoc> hey
[16:19] <avinash> hi
[16:19] <deww> compdoc: y u stalking
[16:19] <compdoc> I hang out in here now
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> damex: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/create-a-minimialist-wingpanel-using-awn-video/
[16:19] <KM0201> Quantum_Ion: thent hats a network security issue... it would be that way w/ every OS i would think.. what exactly do you think they're going to learn by monitoring your internet connection?
[16:20] <FCGreg> Lxndr: left-click on the network configuration applet (near your clock on the menu bar) and Configure VPN.  We need to confirm your configuration is set properly
[16:20] <strange> i have a problem with jack sense when i plug in headphones my builtin speakers dont disable anyone have any ideas?
[16:20] <Quantum_Ion> KM0201, Well they can profile you like Google does
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> strange: what make / model laptop / pc?
[16:20] <tevoda> How do I force mail to use Maildir? if I use any other mail app it works fine but not mail. I should have mail but dominick@mmocafe:~$ mail
[16:20] <tevoda> No mail for dominick
[16:20] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, configuration is open.
[16:20] <KM0201> Quantum_Ion: and still, what is that going to do?... other than enable them to find what is already out there
[16:20] <Quantum_Ion> KM0201, I tend to think Google profiles a lot of people because I have a gmail account with google and they seem to present me with advertisements for things I am looking for
[16:21] <KM0201> Quantum_Ion: of course.
[16:21] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Make sure you're on the VPN tab.  Do you see your company connection in there?  If so, select it and click the Edit button on the right
[16:21] <strange> ActionParsnip, msi windtop 1900
[16:21] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, done.
[16:21] <naptastic> Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop 64-bit. The network interfaces (ethernet, not wifi) are not started until I log in. (This is a stupid default setting.) How do I make them start on boot, rather than on login?
[16:21] <FCGreg> Lxndr: ensure yoru connection type is set to PPTP
[16:21] <tevoda> Can someone at least point me in the right direction?
[16:21] <strange> ActionParsnip, and its a pc one of those all in one things screen with pc inside it
[16:22] <bullgard4> Banshee 1.8.0 > Podcasts > <any Podcast name> > Podcast(s) Download will load down by default into the directory ~/Podcasts. How can I change this directory (permanently)?
[16:22] <Quantum_Ion> the stupidest thing in Ubuntu Linux is that gnome-keyring garbage
[16:22] <KM0201> strange: system/pref/sound, click on the hardware tab, at the bottom where it says "Profile"  try changing some options down there, see if that fixes it.
[16:22] <damex> ActionParsnip: its now i was wanted ... but how minimal it can be?
[16:22] <glaceman_> KM0201: HI THERE !!!
[16:22] <KM0201> Quantum_Ion: so disable it?
[16:22] <KM0201> glaceman_: hey
[16:22] <Quantum_Ion> Google reads all my emails and saves them on a master server and creates a profile of me
[16:22] <amparia> hello
[16:23] <strange> KM0201, that doesnt change anything :(
[16:23] <ZykoticK9> naptastic, if you config your ethernet using the file /etc/network/interfaces it should start at boot and not login (nm-applet will be disabled though!)
[16:23] <KM0201> Quantum_Ion: well, perhaps you should just disconnect from the internet, don't ever use anything but cash, and pitch your tent in the woods...
[16:23] <Quantum_Ion> KM0201, trust me I disable gnome-keyring all over ubuntu linux it sucks
[16:23] <naptastic> ZykoticK9, thank you! :-)
[16:23] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Also, do you have a Windows system ( a regular Windows computer) right there with you somewhere?
[16:24] <KM0201> Quantum_Ion: but regardless, that still has nothing to do w/ your statement about feeling insecure on an open wifi connection
[16:24] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, now I'm confused. I don't see any option for 'connection type'. There are two tabs, and an option for 'advanced' and nowhere do I see the words 'connection type' or the letters 'pptp.'
[16:24] <damex> ActionParsnip: http://ompldr.org/vNnlqMg/01-12-19:22:50_scrot_q0.png i want to keep right panel usable but it isnt ... =/
[16:24] <Lxndr> FCG: Sadly, no windows anywhere in the house (the landlord might have one, but asleep,etc.)
[16:24] <Quantum_Ion> KM0201, lol its not that bad yet I will wait until they start microchipping people before I pitch my tent in the woods then I will come back like Ted Williams the man with the golden voice by the side of the road holding a sign and become an instant millionaire success story overnight
[16:24] <tevoda> Can someone please explain to me what the problem could be ? every other mail client can read $HOME/foo/Maildir but not mail (GNU Mailutils 2.1). THANK YOU!
[16:24] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK, just to be sure... click Cancel.  Then Delete the connection from your VPN tab
[16:25] <FCGreg> Lxndr: We need to re-create it to make sure the settings are correct.
[16:25] <administrator_> kk
[16:25] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, re-creating. Selecting 'pptp'.
[16:25] <administrator_> jj
[16:25] <administrator_> no
[16:25] <BluesKaj> ZykoticK9, the networkmanager needs to be totally removed not just disabled to get a network to start at boot , otherwise network manager still controls til login, from my experience
[16:26] <administrator_> jerk off
[16:26] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK.  The "Gateway" is the IP address.  Set the Username and Password appropriately.  The other settings can be left as default
[16:26] <administrator_> jerk off
[16:26] <ZykoticK9> BluesKaj, not true...

[16:27] <maklovin22> hi
[16:27] <Quantum_Ion> Ted Williams kind of looks like Barack Obama
[16:27] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK, you need to take a look at your syslog file right now and see what it says at the bottom
[16:27] <Williamson69[TFD> I would like to know if there is anyone in here I could ask a lot of questions about how I couold use ubuntu and how it works.
[16:27] <KM0201> lol
[16:27] <compdoc> kinda
[16:27] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Where do I find the syslog?
[16:28] <chmode> how do i run/execute .jar files? i have a .jar thats a java-game file but not sure how to 'play' it
[16:28] <FCGreg> Lxndr: also, do you have a Windows machine right there, so we can test this connection on your network,e tc.
[16:28] <antuunai> I'm trying to set up an ubuntu home server that will act as a router and a fileserver, with internet in eth0, wireless router in eth1 and another machine connected into eth2. I want them all to be on the same subnet, what is the correct way to set this up?
[16:28] <glaceman_> hehehehehehehe amdinistrator seems to be having some behavior issues :P
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> chmode: jar filename.jar
[16:28] <tevoda> Williamson69[TFD:  everyone seems to prefer to talk about useless stuff like goverments and implant chips.
[16:28] <Lxndr> FCGreg: No windows machines anywhere. (Landlord may have one, but asleep/etc.)
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> chmode: sorry,   java filename.jar
[16:28] <chmode> thats it?
[16:28] <rubbs> Williamson69[TFD: just ask. people will jump in with answers
[16:28] <Terrax121> ihyiuoppp72
[16:28] <chmode> is tehre a way to pass it memory restriction/limit?
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> chmode: sure, as long as you have java installed in some form
[16:29] <chmode> cool
[16:29] <KM0201> antuunai: use freenas.. :).. why more simple than using a linux distro for file serving
[16:29] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK.  Run this command in a terminal: sudo tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog
[16:29] <maklovin22> hi i can't accecee to softwwware sources can any 1 help me ????
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> chmode: man java    may tell you how (if its possible)

[16:29] <mbeierl> how do I turn off the touchpad on a Dell E6410 if it's "not a synaptics device".  Syndaemon won't work for it.
[16:29] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Scan the results and see if it gives any errors surrounding "vpn" or "pptp"
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> maklovin22: you can modify the sources in software centre
[16:29] <KM0201> mbeierl: sys/pref/mouse/touchpad tab   disable it.
[16:30] <KM0201> ?
[16:30] <maklovin22> mmam using backtrack 4 r2
[16:30] <antuunai> KM0201: I'm trying to learn things too
[16:30] <avinash> hehe i think administrator is trying to pump in some amusement into this serious forum..lol
[16:30] <mbeierl> KM0201: Nope.  there's nothing there about the touchpad
[16:30] <Williamson69[TFD> If anyone in here is very good with knowledge about Linux and ubuntu please query me
[16:30] <Lxndr> FCGreg: There's a few. The biggest red flag (to me) is "VPN plugin failed: 1"
[16:30] <Danny78_> my microphone headset doesn't work in skype..  any suggestions?
[16:30] <KM0201> mbeierl: strange, there is for me... do you have a keyboard shortcut to disable it?.. mine is shift + f7
[16:30] <Williamson69[TFD> I am trying to learn about it and how it works
[16:30] <mbeierl> KM0201: just general and accessibility.  That's what's got me so confused and frustrated
[16:31] <BluesKaj> ZykoticK9, well perhaps it coincidence , but I wasn't able to use irssi to get my Xorg fixed when I was having graphics probs , so decided to purge network manager , then afterwards I was at least able to get to a tty to connect to the internet on irssi
[16:31] <Danny78_> syke works fine in Wndows, just not Ubuntu
[16:31] <mbeierl> KM0201: Nope.  Not even that. :(
[16:31] <FCGreg> Lxndr: yeah, that is no good.  let me check something
[16:31] <tevoda> Someone help please :/ every darn google search leads to nothing.
[16:31] <Guest21802> Hey you guys I been having a long bad day, kinda brain dead... I cant seem to find the LinuxMint Netbook edition..... Can some one help me out?
[16:31] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Would a reboot be a wise thing to attempt?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: does it work in sound recorder?
[16:32] <markturnip> I've updated my NVidia graphics & now my CLI doesn't display out HDMI. How would I go about changing settings for the cli??
[16:32] <rubbs> Williamson69[TFD: just ask your qestions one at a time in this channel and if anyone knwos the answer they will respond back.
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: in ubuntu
[16:32] <maklovin22> whene i click on softwware sources  it doesn't open i don't know why   i have backtrack 4 r2 vmw
[16:32] <Danny78_> ActionParsnip:  dunno,let me see if I have that app
[16:32] <KM0201> mbeierl: well what happened when you installed gsynaptics?
[16:32] <Danny78_> I'm in xfce by the way
[16:32] <bullgard4> Banshee 1.8.0 > Podcasts > <any Podcast name>  right-click> Podcast(s) Download will load down by default into the directory ~/Podcasts. How can I change this directory (permanently)?
[16:32] <FCGreg> Lxndr: It shouldn't make any difference, but if you have installed/upgraded any packages since rebooting why don't you try it just in case
[16:33] <ZykoticK9> BluesKaj, i've had some recent experience with /etc/network/interfaces starting from a minimal ubuntu install - if anything is set in there, nm-applet will NOT control it (drove me a little crazy for a while ;)
[16:33] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Alrighty. Back soon. Hope this manages to help something.
[16:33] <shiftingcontrol> if i upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 will mysql data will be erased ?
[16:33] <tevoda> How do I force mail to use Maildir? if I use any other mail app it works fine but not mail. I should have mail but mail returns the message I have no mail while other apps show me the mail.
[16:33] <rubbs> shiftingcontrol: no, but it's a good idea to back it up anyway.
[16:33] <shotgun> is it possible to have grub2 work with BOTH serial and vga console?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: its in a default ubuntu install
[16:34] <Danny78_> ActionParsnip:  No, it doesn't record anything
[16:34] <shiftingcontrol> rubbs:ok fine
[16:34] <bullgard4> shiftingcontrol: No. But you never know. You better make a backup before upgrading.
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: ok is the system a branded pc or laptop?
[16:34] <Danny78_> ActionParsnip:  my only option in skype is pulse audo server
[16:34] <mbeierl> KM0201: it does not detect the touch pad.  it only gives me my built in mouse and my external mouse
[16:34] <Danny78_> ActionParsnip:  my only option in skype is pulse audo server
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: doesn't answer my question....
[16:35] <Tyrant91101> I have a problem with my mouse freezing for a second or so whenever switching to a tab that wasnt opened in a while in Chrome or Firefox. I think this also happens when Alt-tabbing to a window that wasnt opened in a while . Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
[16:35] <agentgasmask> I have a parallel printer port to usb conversion cable hooked to a brother HL-5050 printer. How can I get started setting this up?
[16:35] <BluesKaj> ZykoticK9, ok good to know , maybe it was coincicdence
[16:35] <rsj> hi. i just made a backup of a bunch of files to a USB stick, and noticed a significant size discrepancies by the source and destination directory. source dir is 86Mb, destination dir is 98Mb (output from "du -h"). source dir is on ext4, destination on vfat. is this normal?
[16:35] <KM0201> Danny78_: are you using an internal mic, or an external mic?
[16:35] <Danny78_> ActionParsnip:  It's a custom built desktop
[16:35] <rsj> if i view them using the window manager, source dir is 83.9Mb and destination 85.5Mb
[16:36] <shotgun> Tyrant91101: is it swapping? more ram perhaps?
[16:36] <Neurotiquette> Dr_Willis: Thanks for your help earlier. :)
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: what sound chip?
[16:36] <compdoc> Tyrant91101, maybe some add on in the browsers. how much ram, and what cpu you have?
[16:36] <Williamson69[TFD> If anyone knows a lot about Linux and could answer my questions. Please query me. I am a very new user and want to use Linux. Please help me. If you are a Guru on Linux. I would love to talk to you. Please query
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: can you run the als-info.sh define on the page ubottu is about to give and give the link generated when you upload to the alsa site, thanks
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> !sound | Danny78_
[16:37] <markturnip> I've updated my NVidia graphics & now my CLI doesn't display out HDMI. How would I go about changing settings for the cli??
[16:37] <KM0201> Williamson69[TFD: why don't you just ask your question
[16:37] <compdoc> Williamson69[TFD, best to just ask questions in here
[16:37] <BluesKaj> !ask | Williamson69[TFD
[16:37] <Danny78_> ActionParsnip:  x-fi
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: yeah, thought so. Those things can be a massive pain in the ass
[16:37] <Tyrant91101> shotgun, compdoc, I've got about 4gb ram so I don't think it'd be using the swap file at all. 4gb DDR2 + Intel Core 2 Duo
[16:38] <Larriv> !ask | Williamson69[TFD
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> Tyrant91101: it will, set vm.swappiness = 0   in /etc/sysctl.conf   it'll make your OS smoother
[16:38] <compdoc> Tyrant91101, I think you should have swap
[16:38] <gtaylor> Was there some way to keep /tmp chmodded to 777 instead of 664?
[16:38] <pippz> hmm, i'm trying this way ... echo "../../sdb" | sed 's/..//g'
[16:38] <Danny78_> ActionParsnip:  what's the package for volumemanager?  I don't seemt o have it in xfce
[16:38] <shiftingcontrol> gtaylor:like some temporary data session info
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> Tyrant91101: you need swap for suspend also ;)
[16:38] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, I have rebooted. Failed again.
[16:38] <pippz> but not remove the .. but all except the B
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> Danny78_: no idea dude, sorry
[16:39] <gtaylor> shiftingcontrol: What do you mean?
[16:39] <pippz> its normal?
[16:39] <KM0201> Danny78_: do you have normal sound, or no sound at all?
[16:39] <Tyrant91101> compdoc, I have swap, I'm just surprised it's being used
[16:39] <Tyrant91101> system monitor shows me using 800mb of ra
[16:39] <Tyrant91101> ram
[16:39] <compdoc> the OS is designed that way
[16:39] <Chiumiento> I have an older dell 2300 series desktop. I have put new parts in it from other older dell computers. Well now I have no OS to even use the computer. I want to try and put Linux on it. But I am not sure exactly how to?
[16:39] <FCGreg> Lxndr: hmmm.  ok, are any of the lines before or after the "vpn plugin failed" lines from syslog helpful?
[16:39] <Danny78_> KM2-1:  normal sound
[16:39] <shotgun> Tyrant91101: have you looked at the core size in top? you can sort by memory usage (the 'm' key)
[16:39] <pippz> i'ld like to remove the points from a strings, using sed.. like that : echo "../../sdb" | sed 's/..//g', any hint please?
[16:39] <shiftingcontrol> gtaylor:when a use logs in you will session details and other sockets info ll be deleted once session gets closed so it is saved in /tmp directory.
[16:40] <Chiumiento> I have burned Linux to a DVd and tried booting it from that DVD. But it didn't work.
[16:40] <pippz> i wanna have only 'sdb'
[16:40] <pippz> :D
[16:40] <sillykone> Hello, I'm trying to write php code on a LAMP server.  The php pages appear just fine in /var/www/ (when I go to http://localhost).  However, I can only view html files when I'm viewing them from /home/user/public_html (http://localhost/~user).  I can't view php files form /home/user/public_html.  Anyone else have this problem?
[16:40] <KM0201> Chiumiento: well does the system have a dvd drive?
[16:40] <Chiumiento> What I want to know is how would I get Linux on an older 2300 series dell.
[16:40] <Chiumiento> Yes it dfoes.
[16:40] <gtaylor> shiftingcontrol: I'm trying to figure out how to make my chmodding of /tmp to 777 stick across re-boots.
[16:40] <Chiumiento> YEs it has a DVD drive.
[16:40] <Tyrant91101> compdoc, shotgun, actually the system monitor app shows me using 0 swap space
[16:40] <compdoc> Chiumiento, how did you burn it? was it an .iso file, or did you just copy files?
[16:40] <BluesKaj> Chiumiento, explain didn't worj , the dvd didn't load /boot or what ?
[16:40] <shotgun> Tyrant91101: I also wouldn't rule out libflashplayer just acting poorly and cranking the core size up
[16:40] <linux50> hi everyone. Im stumped. my ubuntu box hangs (and on occasion Times out) anytime i try to ssh to a remote computer. My co-worker has mac and he connects to the same remote computer almost instantly. I verified that we both have the same DNS entries. IPv6 is off.
[16:41] <shotgun> Tyrant91101: in general, when you see the pointer freeze, it's probably swapping
[16:41] <compdoc> Tyrant91101, once the system is used for a while, it'll use more ram as cache to speed things
[16:41] <shotgun> is it possible to have grub2 work with BOTH serial and vga console?
[16:42] <tevoda> How do I force mail to use Maildir? if I use any other mail app it works fine but not mail. I should have mail but mail returns the message I have no mail while other apps show me the mail.
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Tyrant91101: the default vm.swappiness is something like 60 so it will be used some, if you set it to 0 it will only be used if absolutly necessary
[16:42] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Not immediately apparent. I've got a program installed called "pastebinit" - could I somehow use that to get you the syslog tail?
[16:42] <shiftingcontrol> gtaylor:i don't think so that is possible
[16:42] <compdoc> linux50, it pauses for a few minutes?
[16:42] <gtaylor> shiftingcontrol: I've done it before, can't remember how.
[16:42] <Tyrant91101> ActionParsnip, and where is that setting supposed to be? I can't seem to find it in sysctl.conf
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Chiumiento: how much ram, what cpu speed?
[16:42] <linux50> compdoc, yes
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Tyrant91101: you add it
[16:42] <shiftingcontrol> gtaylor:/tmp contents will be deleted once user is logged off
[16:42] <Tyrant91101> compdoc, I've used it for at least a month now, just getting around to getting the few issues fixe
[16:42] <Danny78_> KM201:  installing volume/mixer packages
[16:43] <FCGreg> Lxndr: possibly.  however, let's try this first.  Open up your VPN settings for that connection again ("Edit" the vpn connection)
[16:43] <AbhiJit> hey guys
[16:43] <gtaylor> shiftingcontrol: I'm not worried about the contents.
[16:43] <AbhiJit> where is the right location for sticky note application store data? i had its file backed up now i want to restore it? where to restore it?
[16:43] <FCGreg> Lxndr: You should see an "Advanced" button on the bottom right of that window.  yes?
[16:43] <jshriver> ok think I'm closer, seems the intel driver is craping out. or at least with
[16:43] <shiftingcontrol> gtaylor:oh i c. . .nice to hear. . if yu remember let me know :)
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> Tyrant91101: also add the lines described here to make the web a little smoother: http://pastie.org/1452963
[16:43] <jshriver> (EE) No devices detected.
[16:43] <Lxndr> FCGreg: I do see an 'advanced' button, yes.
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> Tyrant91101: you have the ram, may as well put it to use
[16:44] <jshriver> yet it does detect the proper video card which it lists as:
[16:44] <jshriver> [    13.878] (--) PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:0046:1179:fd30 Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller rev 2, Mem @ 0xd0000000/4194304, 0xc0000000/268435456, I/O @ 0x00008050/8
[16:44] <jshriver> any tips?
[16:44] <shotgun> GRUB2 question - can it output to BOTH serial and vga console?
[16:44] <Tyrant91101> ActionParsnip, thank you :)
[16:44] <Tyrant91101> I'll do that
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> Tyrant91101: np bro
[16:44] <Tyrant91101> compdoc, shotgun, thank you for your help as well
[16:45] <tevoda> HOW DO I make mailutils read Maildir? pleaseeeeee
[16:45] <FCGreg> Lxndr: ok, go in there. check "MSCHAP" "MSCHAPv2" "Use Point to Point encryption (MPPE)", make sure the Security dropdown is set to "All Available (Default)"
[16:45] <FCGreg> Lxndr: "Allow BSD" and "Allow Deflate" should be on
[16:45] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, done
[16:46] <litropy> hi, peeps. I'm using Wicd to connect wirelessly. I have the correct interface configured within Wicd manager. When I iwlist wlan0 scan, I see my network. Within Wicd Manager, when I Refresh, it's blank. It doesn't even say, "No Networks Found." When I have the wrong interface within Wicd's prefs, I do get a "No Networks Found." It's like its ... hanging on the scan or something. Yet the GUI...
[16:46] <litropy> ...is still responsive. Any ideas?
[16:46] <FCGreg> Lxndr: "Use TCP Header compression" should be on
[16:46] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Those are both checked. The TCP checkbox isa lso checked.
[16:46] <minimec> jshriver: I don't know if this would apply to your hardware... http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2010/05/ubuntu-lucid-gets-kernel-mode.html
[16:46] <Lxndr> FCGreg: AOK. We're good.
[16:46] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Uncheck "Send PPP echo packets" if checked
[16:46] <milen8204> what is equal to .gif format in Linux environment ?
[16:46] <brilldoctor> Why does ubuntu have _ in the top left of the screen during startub instead if the boot screen
[16:46] <despe70> when I run apt-get install mailutils this adds extra packages like exim which, I assume, I don't need since I'm running Postfix ...  how can I prevent it from being installed (it will most probably mess up my configuration)
[16:46] <Lxndr> FCGreg: It was unchecked, and is remaining so. :)
[16:47] <jshriver> minimec: ty checking it out
[16:47] <ugarit> I want to put ubuntu on my USB flash drive so I can use it to install to other machines.  I am unable to format the USB flash drive as startup in windows xp interface because that option is greyed out.  how do I do this?
[16:47] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK, so did you have to make any changes on this screen?  if so, click OK and let's try it again
[16:47] <Lxndr> FCGreg: I checked the 'use point to point encrypton'. Trying again.
[16:48] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK, sounds good
[16:48] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Failed. Same unresponsive message as before.
[16:48] <minimec> jshriver: YOu would have to set modeset=0 to disable it.
[16:48] <compdoc> linux50, did you add a dns line in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf ?
[16:48] <Danny78_> KM201:  aumix is command line and the mic level was low.  It also has a red R, which I hope means record
[16:48] <linux50> no. Was i supposed to?
[16:48] <jshriver> hrm reading still, will change my grub file
[16:48] <linux50> compdoc, No. Was i supposed to?
[16:49] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK, it could be a number of things, including your cable router/modem.  without a Windows system to confirm it will be very hard to go further.  last option I have for you... send me the last 50 lines of your syslog (with that command I gave you)
[16:49] <compdoc> linux50, no, that sometimes causes a pause if usedns=yes in that file
[16:49] <minimec> jshriver: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[16:49] <linux50> ill check it out
[16:49] <linux50> one sec
[16:49] <FCGreg> Lxndr: If you twitter you can use the service at droplr.com  or just use any pastebin service
[16:49] <rautamiekka> Why does Nautilus keep begging for the logons on my Dell even if they're correct ? My desk' is installed like the Dell but only it works after giving the logons once.
[16:50] <tevoda> SOMEONE please!
[16:50] <jshriver> It's a bit of a confusing problem because I honestly dont know what video card I have.. the description is very general. Just know this machine is fairly new (i3).
[16:50] <pippz> someone can help me on sed/awk to remove a point from an output i receive from another script, please? i need just some hints
[16:50] <pippz> thanks in advance

[16:51] <rsj> reposting since q got drowned last time...
[16:51] <linux50> compdoc: I dont have a file called sshd_conf. I only have /etc/ssh/ssh_config.
[16:51] <rautamiekka> rsj: Unless the files are massive text files, no it's not normal.
[16:51] <tevoda> How do I force "mailutils" to read mail from $HOME/*/Maildir, PLEASE.
[16:51] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay. I think this is how it goes: http://pastebin.com/twBjAdZh
[16:51] <jshriver> Where do I do the modeset change?
[16:51] <jshriver> /etc/default/grub ? if so what line
[16:51] <compdoc> linux50, sshd_conf would be there if youre running the ssh service
[16:52] <cime> hi! anybody have a simple c/c++ tutorial on how to use libpam for simple user authentication ( (username, password) => true/false ) ?
[16:52] <linux50> im using this machine as my desktop not a server.
[16:52] <mellin> Ok so I installed mldonkey and the server. When I issue the command telnet 127.0.0.1 4000 it won't allow the connection. According to the documentation I *should* be able to access this to issue the allowed_ips command. Anyone help me out?
[16:52] <linux50> I only use the ssh client
[16:52] <compdoc> k
[16:52] <compdoc> but the server?
[16:52] <rsj> rautamiekka: even weirder, i can't see any actual file discrepancies, except for "." and ".." (4k on source, 32k on dest). if i checksum the files they are equal
[16:52] <compdoc> thats where you would check sshd_conf
[16:52] <rsj> rautamiekka: and to top it off... if i view these directories using the window manager, source dir is 83.9Mb and destination 85.5Mb
[16:52] <mellin> KM0201: Umm not sure if you are joking? I assume yes
[16:53] <rautamiekka> rsj: If you try to use the backed up files, are they identical to the original ?
[16:53] <AbhiJit> i have disabled login sound from admin account. but now here in this another standard account it still plays. how to disable it?
[16:53] <AbhiJit> help please
[16:53] <KM0201> mellin: my point is, everyone comes here saying how awesome it is, thne something goes wrong, and in a week, they are reinstalling windows
[16:53] <rautamiekka> AbhiJit: No need to use "please".
[16:53] <rautamiekka> AbhiJit: Just ask and wait.
[16:53] <bastidrazor> linux50: what are you trying to do? /etc/ssh/sshd_config is a configuration file for the ssh server running on your box.
[16:53] <rsj> rautamiekka: it seems so. most are non-executables, just text files and various docs. i've looked in them to see if they look weird but they don't, and as i've said, i've also done checksums
[16:53] <mellin> KM0201: Ahhh... not this boy been using linux for a while with Ubuntu as my choice for several years ;-)
[16:54] <bastidrazor> compdoc: that file does not exist.
[16:54] <KM0201> mellin: ah, i see.. :)..
[16:54] <ksinkar> hi guys
[16:54] <rsj> rautamiekka: but the individual files don't differ in size, according to ls, only the directories. if i run "du" i get differences, if i run "ls" and look at the total i get differences, but not individual files
[16:54] <compdoc> bastidrazor, it should exist on the server
[16:54] <ksinkar> i want to do a dual install of fedora and ubuntu on my computer, what is the best way to go about it?
[16:54] <rautamiekka> rsj: Since you've done checksums and they match, the files are identical; so I guess it is normal.
[16:54] <mellin> KM0201: Anything that is worth doing requires work! Education, Linux, IT Administration, Photography <blah>
[16:55] <KM0201> yup
[16:55] <ksinkar> Should i install fedora first or ubuntu first?
[16:55] <bastidrazor> compdoc: no, sshd_config does.. maybe you're thinking of a different distro
[16:55] <rautamiekka> ksinkar: I'm very sure Ubuntu will detect Fedora, so I'd go by first installing Fedora, then Ubuntu, and edit the GRUB(2) listing via Ubuntu.
[16:55] <AbhiJit> how to disable login sound?
[16:55] <rautamiekka> ksinkar: It is that easy.
[16:55] <linux50> My machine pauses for a long time whenever i ssh to a remote server. If my co-worker (via Macintosh) tries to ssh into the same remote server he connects instantly. Almost as if the DNS were not configured on my local desktop. I have verified that we both have the same DNS entries.
[16:56] <rsj> rautamiekka: well, that's one way to look at it :). i just want to rule out the possibility of a rootkit or something like that. it would be incredibly unlikely, given the history of this computer (fresh install by myself ~6 months ago, no one else has used it to my knowledge, no strange programs installed etc), but you can never be entirely sure
[16:56] <mellin> KM0201: Not sure how long you have been using *nix but I started *trying* to use it back in the days when it was pretty much ruled by RedHat version 3 I think..hehh
[16:56] <zakwilson> ksinkar: what rautamiekka said, but make sure to create all the partitions you might want first.
[16:56] <linux50> compdoc: My machine pauses for a long time whenever i ssh to a remote server. If my co-worker (via Macintosh) tries to ssh into the same remote server he connects instantly. Almost as if the DNS were not configured on my local desktop. I have verified that we both have the same DNS entries.
[16:56] <KM0201> mellin: i started w/ Fedora 4... so we're close.
[16:56] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Any luck? Did the website, at least, work as promised?
[16:56] <rautamiekka> zakwilson: I assumed he knows that without telling.
[16:56] <litropy> Hi, peeps. I need to aptitude update // aptitude safe-upgrade on my other, mounted partition.
[16:56] <sillykone> Hello, I'm trying to write php code on a LAMP server.  The php pages appear just fine in /var/www/ (when I go to http://localhost).  However, I can only view html files when I'm viewing them from /home/user/public_html (http://localhost/~user).  I can't view php files form /home/user/public_html.  Anyone else have this problem?
[16:56] <mellin> KM0201: Not like in those days for sure. It was a fsck just trying to get it installed and booted...lol
[16:57] <tevoda> How do I force "mailutils" to read mail from $HOME/*/Maildir, PLEASE.
[16:57] <tevoda> hi Does mailutils 2.1 work with Maildir? I tried all the options I could find via google and everytime I type mail, I still get no mail. Yet all other mail "clients" don't have this problem.
[16:57] <zakwilson> rautamiekka: it has been my experience that explicit is better in these cases.
[16:57] <KM0201> mellin: indeed :)
[16:57] <ZykoticK9> AbhiJit, System / Preferences / Startup Applications - uncheck "Gnome Login Sound".  Might work.
[16:57] <FCGreg> Lxndr: sorry for delay.  yep, checking some web posts.  it seems this problem comes up for many people.  (at least they have the same error messages you do).  The problem seems to be at or before the "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests" line(s)
[16:57] <ksinkar> well i did just the opposite, i installed ubuntu 10.10. first which has grub 2.0 and then installed fedora 12 which has grub 0.97 and tried to edit the grub.conf file and manually add ubuntu to the boot list
[16:57] <rautamiekka> zakwilson: You're right.
[16:57] <AbhiJit> ZykoticK9, yah right it worked. thank you.
[16:57] <compdoc> linux50, its not your server, I guess. the file I was talking about has to be checked on the server. of course, you might be having a completely different problem - that file is just one thing to check
[16:58]  * mellin wonders if there is a mldonkey channel...hmmmm
[16:58] <saesneg> hi all, i've got a problem with my ambiance theme on ubuntu desktop having to be manually reset  every now and again when i start up my PC. would anyone know what might cause that and how i could stop it from happening? ambiance is set as my theme
[16:58] <linux50> okay
[16:58] <linux50> compdoc: ty
[16:58] <nep0x> linux
[16:58] <rautamiekka> ksinkar: That's why I said Ubuntu first: the chance of Fedora using older GRUB.
[16:58] <sillykone> When I try to create a php page on a LAMP server, my browser asks me what application I want to use to open the page? This only happens in the users' directory, though.
[16:58] <f4ts0> irc.quakenet.org
[16:58] <despe70> mailx and mailutils package seems to depend on exim4 to be installed. That will conflict with my current postfix setup, won't it ?
[16:58] <ksinkar> now grub is giving error 17 ( filesystem not recognized by grub)
[16:58] <madsailor_> hello all.  I am having difficulty changing the backround for the ubuntu login screen.  Docs on the ubuntu help pages talk about modifying /etc/gdm/gdm.conf but this doesn't exist in this folder
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> ksinkar: boot to livecd and fsck the partitions
[16:59] <Lxndr> FCGreg: well, on one hand, I'm glad I'm not alone. on the other hand...
[16:59] <DarkStar1> I need a tool to handle mysql databases like Navicat. phpmyadmin wont deal with fiile sizes l;arger than 2Mb
[16:59] <][ceman> Is there a clonezilla channel for getting help?
[16:59] <tevoda> sillykone allow .php in user dirs ?
[16:59] <AbhiJit> DarkStar1, there is mysql admin gui tool its you tried it?
[16:59] <MikeH> Hi guys, I need to search a directory recursively for files with a modified date after a certain time
[16:59] <KM0201> ][ceman: not really sure...
[17:00] <MikeH> can this be done with something like find and sed?
[17:00] <Pici> MikeH: Thats
[17:00] <Pici> MikeH: That can be done with just find.
[17:00] <MikeH> Pici: Oh? Care to share? :)
[17:01] <ksinkar> ActionParsnip: the files in ubuntu partition are readable from fedora
[17:01] <FCGreg> Lxndr: let me guess... when you try this, how long does it take to try and fail?  about 30 seconds?
[17:01] <gobbe> MikeH: find and attribute mtime
[17:01] <fizy[laptop]> is there any way to set priority for wireless networks?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> ksinkar: i'd still get it checked, just in case
[17:01] <bholz> anyone have a good link for ubuntu netbook 10.4?
[17:01] <mellin> madsailor_: It could be that it has changed to the *.schemas file. I'm not sure since I just upgraded to maverick
[17:01] <Lxndr> FCGreg: 30 seconds sounds about right. Haven't sat there with a stopwatch, of course.
[17:01] <tevoda> find . \( ! -name . -prune \) -type f -mtime +1 -print   something like that
[17:01] <Pici> MikeH: For checking for files changed in the last 2 days, you'd do: find /path/to/files -type f -mtime -2
[17:01] <DarkStar1> AbhiJit: doesn't allow me to connect remotely via SSH like Sequel Pro
[17:01] <coz_> bholz,  hold on let me check
[17:02] <FCGreg> Lxndr: also, did you remove anything from that log output or is that exactly how it prints out?
[17:02] <sillykone> tevoda: How do I do that?  I can't find a "userdir" section in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
[17:02] <coz_> bholz,    http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[17:02] <AbhiJit> DarkStar1, i see. dont know then.
[17:02] <Lxndr> FCGreg: I copied and pasted directly.
[17:02] <Chicken_Boo> All you have to do is put Ubuntu Linux on an external harddrive and set any computers bios to boot from the USB ports and you can see anyone Windows NTFS hardrive and read and transfer their files to your Ubuntu external USB drive
[17:02] <MikeH> Pici:  Got it, thanks :)
[17:02] <tevoda> time to go home ":/ sigh and nobody knows squash about mailutils
[17:02] <Chicken_Boo> it is very simple thats what I do
[17:02] <AbhiJit> hey guys when we save a webpage then with .html it also saves a folder containg some images or refernce files. any way to avoid this folder ???
[17:03] <bholz> coz_: is that going to be ok? its 10.10 i was lead to believe you cant upgrade direct
[17:03] <KM0201> Chicken_Boo: are you still blaming ubuntu and calling it insecure?
[17:03] <Chicken_Boo> KM0201, nope
[17:03] <fizy[laptop]> is there any way to set priority for wireless networks?
[17:03] <coz_> bholz,   hold on
[17:03] <FCGreg> Lxndr: are you running your firewall on ubuntu?
[17:03] <DarkStar1> AbhiJit: do you know how to configure Mysql to accept connections from the local network?
[17:03] <AbhiJit> DarkStar1, no. try in #mysql
[17:03] <sillykone> AbhiJit: You need to save the file as  "Web Archive."  You should see the ".mht" extension.
[17:04] <AbhiJit> sillykone, ok let me try
[17:04] <Lxndr> FCGreg: I am unaware of any firewall being run on my ubuntu. Unless it's part of the default installation (I did a clean reinstall of my OS two days ago) I don't think I have any firewall.
[17:04] <bastidrazor> linux50: have you tried adding -v to see what/where the connection process is hanging?
[17:04] <Chicken_Boo> he can also use lftp and just save all the html pages
[17:04] <ksinkar> rautamiekka: i guess i shall follow your advice
[17:04] <ksinkar> rautamiekka: re-install ubuntu
[17:04] <Chicken_Boo> like lftp *.html
[17:04] <rautamiekka> ksinkar: Yeah.
[17:04] <litropy> how do I apt-get update apt-get upgrade another partition, once it's mounted?
[17:04] <linux50> bastidrazor: No. I'll try now.
[17:05] <coz_> bholz,     in synapic  on your 10.04  there should be  netbook  available ...yes?
[17:05] <ZykoticK9> litropy, chroot - see !grub2 for instructions on how to chroot if you aren't sure
[17:05] <ksinkar> rautamiekka: i just hope ubuntu grub 2.0 will identify fedora
[17:05] <Chicken_Boo> Ubuntu Linux is a real portable operating system it can read NTFS drives I am not sure about MAC OS X though
[17:05] <AbhiJit> sillykone, its web page,html option here in my lucid. it worked thank you
[17:06] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: priority to access what? at what speed?
[17:06] <rautamiekka> ksinkar: Well I wonder why it wouldn't but the time of miracles ain't over.
[17:06] <mellin> KM0201: Nice chatting with you...off to the www to see if I can find out why mldonkey is rejecting my local telnet request as stated in the documentation.
[17:06] <fizy[laptop]> does anyone know how to set up priorities for wifi networks? i have 2 wifis in my house, a good one and a bad one, and i dont want teo just delete the bad one
[17:06] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK then.  it almost looks like there is something missing from your configuration.  it says: "no ifupdown configuration found" and also "could not get port's parent device"
[17:06] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson just connection priority
[17:06] <ksinkar> rautamiekka: because grub.cfg 2.0 files are very complicated as compared to grub.conf 0.97 files
[17:06] <bholz> coz_:synapic? sorry me = noob...
[17:06] <ksinkar> rautamiekka: thanx
[17:06] <linux50> the part that its hanging on is when trying to connect to <hostname>
[17:07] <litropy> ZykoticK9: Although I can apt-get update on this partition, when I chroot, apt-get acts like I'm not connected to the net
[17:07] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay. What in the world is ifupdown?
[17:07] <coz_> bholz,    go to  System/administration/synaptic package manager...hit the "Search"  button and type in   netbook
[17:07] <linux50> bastidrazor: The part that its hanging on is when trying to connect to <remote hostname>
[17:07] <bholz> coz_: Oh nevermind, that is what it calls for - than you coz! :)
[17:07] <ZykoticK9> litropy, it probably isn't.  You might need to copy your /etc/resolv.conf and perhaps some other settings as well
[17:08] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: you can set the power level of output from the access point to prevent the user to see one as stronger and also set threshold on the recieve side of accesspoints
[17:08] <FCGreg> Lxndr: part of your network config service.  hang on, checking something else real quick.  almost at my last draw here
[17:08] <rautamiekka> ksinkar: You could read this I found by Googling "ubuntu install detect fedora 12" without quotes: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=238974
[17:08] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Well, for what it's worth, ifupdown claims to be installed through the package manager.
[17:08] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson so there is no direct way to say 'connect to this one if both are availible'?
[17:08] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: that will make them normaly connect to the stronger
[17:08] <vBm> can anyone shed some light on this problem when trying to access win7 share -> http://dump.omertabeyond.com/images/270sshot_0068.png
[17:08] <para-4point77mhz> where are source packages installed to?
[17:09] <para-4point77mhz> i did apt-get source tinyirc
[17:09] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson figures. it autoconnects to the older, slower, worse one
[17:09] <sillykone> Does anyone know how to get PHP to work for user directories (i.e. public_html)?
[17:09] <Pici> para-4point77mhz: They aren't installed, they're downloaded to the current directory.
[17:09] <fizy[laptop]> the 2 aps are like 6 inches from each other
[17:09] <para-4point77mhz> pici oh really lol now i feel silly
[17:09] <para-4point77mhz> Pici: thanks:)
[17:09] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: yes you can do that also, you can select the accesspoint from the cleint side even if the network name is the same
[17:09] <litropy> !grub2
[17:10] <Chicken_Boo> source debs go here /var/cache/apt/archives
[17:10] <Chicken_Boo> Remember when you are deleting your source debs dont delete a directory called partial in /var/cache/apt/archives
[17:11] <leonardo> ..
[17:11] <Chicken_Boo> most people delete the source debs in /var/cache/apt/archives
[17:11] <Chicken_Boo>  to free up disk space
[17:11] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson the 2 essids are different. i just want to have it auto connect to the new one, and if god forbid something were to happen with the new one, as sometimes does, be able to connect to the old one by itself
[17:12] <oCean> Chicken_Boo: apt-get clean is for just that
[17:12] <Pici> Chicken_Boo: Thats not what we're discussing.  and those are just the archives of debs that are downloaded.
[17:12] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: I see auto redundent,  you would require to right a simple bash script to do that
[17:12] <deww> sillykone: see if the stuff here helps https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/545739
[17:13] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson poo. ill just delete the old one from the network list then
[17:13] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: but maybe something exists that would also do that
[17:13] <SnowmanX11> Is there anybody here who has solved the overlay issue in Skype on ATI cards?
[17:13] <litropy> ZykoticK9: success! cp resolv.conf is all I needed. Thanks for being a geekier than I.
[17:13] <ZykoticK9> litropy, glad you got it working :)
[17:14] <litropy> ZykoticK9: now let's hope this fixes my unresponsive touchpad problem that's solely on the partition I'm updating.
[17:14] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: I do something similar with two redundent ISP providers if one fails it auto switches to the other, it simply tests the internet every 5 mins
[17:15] <Chicken_Boo> oCean, Let me try running apt-get clean and see what happens
[17:15] <litropy> ZykoticK9: touchpad/keyboard
[17:15] <FCGreg> Lxndr: I'm seeing posts like this: please check if port 1723 TCP and protocol GRE open on router for this connection.  Try other devices to connect with same account."
[17:15] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson i just want it to connect to one network, and if that fails, connect to the other
[17:16] <Pici> 22
[17:16] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, how do I check that?
[17:16] <FCGreg> Lxndr: This would indicate a problem at your router.  That "timeout" line is troubling to me, and I'm seeing a number of other users having problems with that
[17:16] <fizy[laptop]> i think newer added networks take priority
[17:16] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: well same concept,  I just test a ping to google to verify conectivity
[17:16] <Chicken_Boo> apt-get clean seems to work
[17:16] <webroasters> hi guys. I have an ubuntu server question (a postfix question, to be exact), is this IRC the place to be?
[17:16] <Pici> webroasters: Either here or #ubuntu-server
[17:16] <bencahill> !server | webroasters
[17:16] <webroasters> ok
[17:17] <webroasters> thx guys
[17:17] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: well I do have a default ISP that if both fails it waits for that one
[17:17] <Chicken_Boo> let me try apt-get autoclean
[17:17] <FCGreg> Lxndr: take a look here, almost the exact problem you are having:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423194
[17:18] <FCGreg> Lxndr: the key line is this: "I'd just like to note that I solved the problem. After some poking around I came to the conclusion that my WLAN box was most likely not handling GRE (protocol 47) correctly (despite claiming to support it...). I bought a new router and voilà: PPTP works like a charm even from the GUI."
[17:18] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson i think that newer networks take priority. ill delete both, connect to the old one, then the new one, reboot, and see which one it connects to
[17:18] <glaceman> anyone able to sync windows mobile with ubuntu ?
[17:18] <fizy[laptop]> here goes nothing
[17:19] <nixbox> hi all
[17:19] <noob124bit> hi
[17:19] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Sounds good. Any idea how I can test that? (Looks like I might need to talk to my landlord?)
[17:19] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Here is the real test.  If I were you, i would get any Windows machine, plug it in to the same network cable you are using at this moment, and try to connect with that.  if it works, we know your router/modem is fine.  otherwise you will have found your problem
[17:20] <ia9371> hello
[17:20] <FCGreg> Lxndr: an alternative option is to use VirtualBox or similiar (like VMWare) and install Windows on your Ubuntu machine.  then install the VPN connection inside of that and see if it works)
[17:20] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: my customers don't like it if networks fails for more than 5 min and I'm to lazy to check it so that's what computers are for
[17:20] <ia9371> when i unplug headphone i still dont get sound out of computer speaker
[17:20] <ia9371> im using ubuntu 10
[17:21] <glaceman> ia9371:  me too :d
[17:21] <nixbox> i am having an issue with a new ubuntu install, during the installation i selected automatically detect the keyboard layout, it asked me to enter a bunch of keys and finally selected US layout with dead keys, the problem is that even if i try to change it now from Preferences->Keyboard->Layout it does not do it revert it to a normal keyboard layout, i tried deleting US (with dead keys) and just using "US", no change
[17:21] <glaceman> ia9371: get used to it ;)
[17:21] <ia9371> glaceman: what do you mean get used to it
[17:22] <franz_> hi, is there a way to rebuild the ip routing table from scratch?
[17:22] <franz_> the one displayed with 'ip route show table main'
[17:22] <glaceman> ia9371: i tried everything possible i have a mini laptop, sound working only via headphones, now maybe wiating for the next distribution update
[17:22] <bencahill> how can i edit file associations so that there are only two for png, e.g.?
[17:22] <glaceman> at least that's my case
[17:22] <FCGreg> Lxndr: but i'm afraid I'm out of options to help you.  stick with that plan and you should have your answer.
[17:22] <franz_> (I fucked it up and lost networking, and it is a collocated server so I have to tell the people that have physical access to it to fix it)
[17:23] <IdleOne> !language | franz_
 did the sound work at first than you plug in head phone and now it only work through headphone
[17:23] <franz_> whoops, sorry
[17:23] <minimec> ia9371: If jack sense is not working by default, it normally doesn't work. So is not working correctly with your hardware. That is, what glaceman was saying. You could try to use alsamixer in a console. Maybe there is a JAck sense option.
[17:23] <glaceman> ia9371: nope but i know my sound work on other distros
[17:23] <minimec> ia9371: alsa is not working correctly ...
[17:24] <glaceman> minimec:  no jack sence :s
[17:24] <vBm> I'd really need help to figure out why i get "failed to mount windows share" error ... anyone ?
[17:24] <ia9371> how do i chek is alsamer is working?
[17:24] <glaceman> vBm:
[17:24] <glaceman> ur running linux trying to mount windows shares such as C$ etc...
[17:24] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson still connected to the old one. oh well. ill just delete the old one
[17:24] <glaceman> ?
[17:24] <minimec> ia9371: open a console and type alsamixer in it.
[17:25] <ia9371> than what
[17:25] <FCGreg> and here is a link that shows specific tests for debugging the problem you are having (although it is somewhat advanced):  http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml#lcp_timeout
[17:25] <lucenut> OK peeps. I did a dual boot installation TWICE now on a nice VAIO laptop with 4G of RAM. Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 first, then Ubuntu 10.10 and did the option of install alongside. Both OSs seemed great until I let the Ubuntu do it's upgrades. It worked and worked and I let it try all night. Then this morning I hardbooted it. Now it'll boot into ubuntu and the keyboard or touchpad don't respond.
[17:25] <lucenut> The clock is working I can see!
[17:25] <litropy> Peeps, on my main partition, I have no use of my mouse and keyboard. When I booted into my secondary partition, chrooted, apt-get update and apt-get safe-upgrade, I found it can't open /proc/bus/pci to generate the new linux kernel image ... because /proc is empty. Any ideas?
[17:25] <vBm> glaceman, i'm trying to access shared folder from win7 via samba ... ubuntu can access public shared folder from win7 but when i want to share my music from other drive i get that error
[17:25] <bencahill> lucenut: can you boot into the older kernel in grub?
[17:26] <n-iCe> mont: you must especify the filesystem type, how do I do this exactly?
[17:26] <glaceman> vBm: alt + F2 , this should brings up the run application console, then type in smb://hostname_or_ip_adress/c$
[17:26] <bencahill> litropy: same prob as lucenut? :-/
[17:26] <lucenut> I don't know what you mean bencahill.
[17:26] <lucenut> (noob)
[17:26] <bencahill> lucenut: :)
[17:26] <bencahill> !grub | lucenut
[17:26] <glaceman> vBm: example: ......   smb://192.168.1.2/c$
[17:26] <gregoire> hi
[17:27] <litropy> bencahill: definitely same symptoms
[17:27] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, one of my roommates has just supplied me with a windows netbook. It's tiny, but it appears to have an ethernet plug. Will hopefully be back in the near future, on the windows thing.
[17:27] <bencahill> litropy: weird, posted within one minute of each other :O
[17:27] <lucenut> Sorry, still don't know what to do with that ben.
[17:27] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK... good luck with it.  I'm out... have a nice day
[17:27] <bencahill> Lxndr: lol cya :)
[17:27] <lucenut> That says for ubuntu prior to 9.1
[17:27] <lucenut> This is 10.10?
[17:27] <bassliner> http://www.heyokay.com/images/ubuntu%20release%20party.jpg
[17:28] <bencahill> lucenut: sry
[17:28] <bencahill> !grub2 | lucenut
[17:28] <vBm> glaceman, i get could not open location ... "failed to mount windows share" error again
[17:28] <glaceman> vBm: can u ping ur ubuntu computer from windows ?
[17:28] <litropy> bencahill: I can boot into the older kernel, but I get the same result
[17:28] <vBm> glaceman, yes
[17:29] <bencahill> litropy: hm, I don't know then...this is 10.10?
[17:29] <glaceman> vBm: did u tried disabling ur firewall in windows
[17:29] <vBm> glaceman, it's already disabled
[17:29] <litropy> bencahill: isn't /proc/pci the place where key/touchpad settings reside? 10.10
[17:29] <bencahill> litropy, lucenut: what's your computer model? wondering if it's something with the mobo/drivers or something...
[17:30] <Krishnandu> Hi, how can I monitor temperatures of processor, internal temp. etc??
[17:30] <bencahill> litropy: you probably know more than me :)
[17:30] <litropy> bencahill: nevermind, it works
[17:30] <bastidrazor> Krishnandu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[17:30] <noob124bit> Hello i've got a little problem with my server. I've got lot of apache process running and few free ram left. Any configuration to change in apache2.conf to reduce the number of apache process ?
[17:30] <bencahill> litropy: :S
[17:30] <AbhiJit> !sensors | Krishnandu
[17:30] <bencahill> litropy: did you do anything differenct, for lucenut's sake?
[17:31] <bencahill> s/differenct/different/
[17:31] <ben_q> Hey, I have a problem with ssh:  when I use ssh to keep a socks connection open, the one-line-command "ssh -f -R 51299:localhost:22 -L 1080:l11:51307 l11 ssh -f -N -D 0.0.0.0:51307 localhost"  gets disconnected quite fast within minutes stating "closed by remote host".  However, when I do the same separately, first login to the remote machine, then execute the command, it stays connected for hours and hours. How can I make the one-line
[17:31] <ben_q> r more stable?
[17:31] <Krishnandu> thanks bastidrazor and AbhiJit :)
[17:31] <glaceman> vBm: did u tried installing samba package ?
[17:31] <litropy> lucenut: you have to load into another partition/boot from a usb drive, mount your partition, chroot into the partition, apt-get update and apt-get safe-upgrade ... at least that's what worked for me.
[17:32] <AbhiJit> Krishnandu, welcome
[17:32] <Krishnandu> :)
[17:32] <bencahill> hey peeps, how can i edit file associations so that there are only two?
[17:32] <vBm> glaceman, it's already installed :$
[17:32] <glaceman> vBm: mmmmmmmmmm
[17:32] <bencahill> litropy: thx, let's hope that fixes it for him too :)
[17:32] <glaceman> vBm: silly question but do u have a user with a password on windows ?
[17:32] <glaceman> vBm: blank password sometimes dosen't work
[17:33] <Pici> noob124bit: Take a look at the sections under the 'Server-Pool Size Regulation (MPM specific)' settings in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf .  If you need help with those specific parameters, #httpd would probably be a better place to ask (thats Apache's help channel)
[17:33] <litropy> bencahill: uuuuuh ... well, I'm on the login screen ... and the user chooser isn't working? I don't see my user ... so I can click it. Hm.
[17:33] <lucenut> Bencahill. What would I be trying to boot into from this GRUB2?
[17:34] <bencahill> vBm: can you mount the share from another windows computer
[17:34] <vBm> glaceman, no i don't have pass on my win account ... also pass protection is disabled in win7 ... (i don't get window where i have to enter user/pass)
[17:34] <vBm> bencahill, i don't have other computers on this network ... just two pc's
[17:34] <sacarlson> ben_q: I'm not sure but maybe a tunnel setup with something like: openvpn --remote remote.site.ip.or.com --dev tun0  --ifconfig 10.2.2.2 10.2.2.3
[17:34] <bencahill> lucenut: are there two kernel versions?
[17:34] <bencahill> !kernel
[17:34] <noob124bit> Pici, thanks a lot . I'm going there
[17:34] <glaceman> vBm: having a password on windows is essential for sharing purposes, trying doing it and retry smb://ipadress/c$
[17:35] <vBm> glaceman, k ... lets change that and reboot win machine
[17:35] <glaceman> vBm: no need to reboot,  just retry,
[17:36] <bencahill> vBm: yeah, definitely have a password...you can still make it autologon if you wish
[17:36] <bencahill> vBm: yeah, no need to reboot
[17:36] <bencahill> so, file associations anyone? :D
[17:37] <vBm> glaceman, bencahill ... still the same lads ;x
[17:37] <glaceman> mmm
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: right click a file and select open with, then select the app you want to open that sort of file with
[17:37] <glaceman> vBm: are you trying a hostname or an ip adress ?
[17:38] <vBm> glaceman, i've tried both :)
[17:38] <ben_q> sacarlson, I don't have an openvpn server installed on the remote machine and I can't either, cause no root rights
[17:38] <glaceman> weird !!
[17:38] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: yes of course :), but can I trim down the associations with a particular filetype (mimetype?) so they show in the first-level menu? they used to do this, before I added more associations to them :)
[17:38] <vBm> glaceman, i'm trying to figure this stuff out for few days already ;x
[17:38] <glaceman> ok let's start over again
[17:38] <share> hi
[17:38] <vBm> glaceman, funny thing is that it used to work back on ubuntu 9.04 :)
[17:39] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: I've looked in /etc/gnome/defaults.list, but it's kind of confusing :)
[17:39] <glaceman> vBm: both machines are on the same networks, firewalls disabled, fixed ip adresses
[17:39] <vBm> glaceman, correct
[17:39] <glaceman> vBm: they can ping each others
[17:39] <vBm> glaceman, correct again
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: could edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[17:39] <PoppaVic> oi.. Apparmor is killin' me: it won't mount the usb dvdrw. All of this was working before 10.10 - solutions?
[17:39] <sniperjo_> im having xserver problems
[17:40] <glaceman> vBm: u tried as i said the alt + f2 option from there
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: as far as I know it gets added but i've not used gnome for a time now
[17:40] <sacarlson> ben_q: in this case the remote is the client but you would still need to sudo apt-get install openvpn on that system so if that's not posible I'm not open for any new idea
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> PoppaVic: could add an entry in /etc/fstab for the device
[17:40] <glaceman> vBm: not from a terminal
[17:41] <PoppaVic> hmm
[17:41] <ks07> Hey guys, a long time ago now I encrypted a password... but I cant for the life of me remember what program I used to do it... any ideas?
[17:41] <vBm> glaceman, yes ... i've tried that ... i've tried using -> places -> network -> etc.
[17:41] <ks07> the only clues I have are "-a" and "aes-256-cbc" from the original command :?
[17:41] <ia9371> how do i chek is alsamer is working?
[17:42] <nwaggie> new install, can't get above 800x600 on mobile intel 4 series express video card. any clues?
[17:42] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: thanks, that helped me with some of it, but there's still (e.g. for png) firefox, gimp, and shotwell...I think if it's down below a certain number (2 or 3?) then it will show in the main menu...
[17:42] <chris_bsd> ks07: gpg?
[17:42] <AbhiJit> [17:42] <AbhiJit> [17:42] <AbhiJit> [17:42] <FloodBot1> AbhiJit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:42] <ks07> ...
[17:42] <bencahill> here he goes :)
[17:43] <datacrusher> and counting
[17:43] <datacrusher> bam!
[17:43] <bencahill> and bam!
[17:43] <Pici> The commentary isn't needed.
[17:43] <datacrusher> :D
[17:43] <bencahill> Pici: sry :)
[17:43] <gusg> my system has a few python distributions (like 4) . When I install a module in a .deb package, how do I know where it is being installed?
[17:43] <chris_bsd> ks07: was it gpg?
[17:43] <AbhiJit> Pici, i was repairing the mouse. i accidently pressed the button on keyboard sorry
[17:44] <ks07> Ill have a look...
[17:44] <zakwilson> I wonder why it is that this is the only channel of the 20 or so I have open that regularly gets people flooding.
[17:44] <compdoc> just lucky
[17:44] <nwaggie> new install, can't get above 800x600 on mobile intel 4 series express video card. where would I get ubuntu drivers off the net?
[17:44] <Pici> AbhiJit: Okay, I had a feeling it wasn't intended :)
[17:44] <AbhiJit> Pici, yah
[17:44] <bencahill> lol :)
[17:44] <rww> zakwilson: because this is likely to be the largest of the 20 or so channels you have open ;)
[17:44] <ZykoticK9> chris_bsd, gpg is the GNU version of pgp - pretty good privacy - it's encryption
[17:44] <ia9371> how do i turn off headphone and turn on speake
[17:44] <chris_bsd> ZykoticK9: i know
[17:44] <glaceman> vBm: can u see the windows computer form the network places ?
[17:45] <ZykoticK9> chris_bsd, oh sorry my bad - "was it" vs "what is"
[17:45] <nwaggie> help
[17:45] <chris_bsd> ZykoticK9: :-)
[17:45] <zakwilson> rww: that is, in fact the case. There are several that are half the size though, and they never get flooders.
[17:45] <vBm> glaceman, yes ... i also see all the folders i've shared there ... but only 'Users' one can be accessed (the default one win7 shares)
[17:45] <nwaggie> im stuck at 800x600
[17:46] <glaceman> vBm: ok so ur problem is really about mounting them
[17:46]  * frewo64 is back.
[17:46] <ia9371> How to I turn off headphone and turn on speaker
[17:46] <glaceman> hold on
[17:46] <sergio_> does the livecd bring gparted ?
[17:46] <JerryM> any help reinstalling ubuntu? from usb, get to 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' and seems to get stuck in loop - waited 30 min, still no change
[17:46] <vBm> glaceman, yes sir ... my communication skills are not that good so i might be leading you off into other direction before ... sorry about that
[17:47] <ks07> okay, no idea what im doing :p
[17:47] <chris_bsd> ks07: or did you mean openssl?
[17:47] <ks07> I have no idea
[17:47] <ks07> lol
[17:47] <nwaggie> i want my money back
[17:47] <ks07> Ill have a look :p
[17:47] <rethus> have installed gnome first time (maverick 10.10
[17:48] <sillykone> Is there any way to allow PHP files in home directories?  I can get to public_html folders just fine, but when I try to get to http://localhost/~user/index.php, for instance, my browser (Opera) asks if I want to open it with a different application.  PHP works fine when I use the localhost root.  Any help?
[17:48] <compdoc> vBm, what permissions are set on the shared folders? is root the owner?
[17:48] <rethus> evolution is an old version - tells me someone in #evolution, cause 3.32 is actual stable release
[17:48] <glaceman> vBm:
[17:48] <rethus> where can i get this for maverick
[17:48] <glaceman> vBm: try installing smb4k
[17:48] <glaceman> it's a gui utility
[17:48] <glaceman> sorry it's for KDE
[17:49] <glaceman> hey guys
[17:49] <glaceman> any one able to help vBm  please
[17:49] <glaceman> im out of thoughts
[17:49] <ks07> right looks like I did use openssl... how do I decode with it? xD
[17:49] <vBm> compdoc, "Everyone" has all rights ;x
[17:49] <glaceman> vBm: can see network ressources , but is unable to mount them
[17:50] <ks07> k nvm found it
[17:50] <chris_bsd> ks07: man openssl and RTFM ;-)
[17:50] <compdoc> vBm, usually, its how you have smb.conf set up, and the folder permissions
[17:50] <Pici> sillykone: www-data needs to be able to exectute the php files, so you'll need to adjust your permissions appropriately.
[17:50] <ks07> yeah :p
[17:50] <bencahill> vBm: does it work using mount (command)?
[17:51] <vBm> compdoc, i haven't edited smb.conf at all thou
[17:51] <JerryM> suggestions for help with install after consulting documentation, recreating usb install drive, reconfiguring boot, etc?
[17:51] <compdoc> thats prolly why then
[17:51] <ia9371> in ubuntu 10 there no way to switch between headphone and speaker?
[17:51] <nwaggie> miss me?
[17:51] <glaceman> vBm: have been 4 days now running ubuntu, but today at work, i was properly able to access all my network ressources via smb://ip
[17:51] <Sup3rkiddo> Hi folks.. When booting into single user mode, it hangs at UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY. Any idea how I can bring a prompt so that I can try to salvage the screwup?
[17:51] <glaceman> smb://ipadress/c$
[17:52] <glaceman> but first i tried to install a printer, and it installed something for sharing stuffs
[17:52] <Sup3rkiddo> oh yeah, my laptop's CD drive is borked as well
[17:52] <Sup3rkiddo> so I have no way of booting from a live CD
[17:52] <sacarlson> sillykone: what I do is setup a symbolic link from my /home/user/php dir to a directory that is in /var/www/phptest  so that the files in that dir will be seen in my browser from apache2
[17:52] <compdoc> vBm, oh, I thought you were trying to access samba shares from windows
[17:52] <sillykone> Pici: I know: both the home directory and the public_html directory (and the contained files) are readable by all.
[17:52] <sillykone> And executable.
[17:52] <bencahill> vBm: try this:
[17:53] <bencahill> vBm: sudo mount -t cifs //sever/share /path/to/mount/point
[17:53] <KM0201> Sup3rkiddo: can you boot USB?
[17:53] <ks07> >.< bad magic number... why cant it just be 3
[17:53] <Sup3rkiddo> KM0201, no :(... Booting from USB doesn't seem to work as well
[17:54] <sillykone> sacarlson: Sometimes the bonehead solution is the one that works. :P  Thanks.
[17:54] <vBm> bencahill, mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory
[17:54] <vBm> that's what i get now
[17:54] <tim__> hey guys
[17:54] <Sup3rkiddo> KM0201, Is there any param I can pass apart from the 'ro single'
[17:54] <bencahill> vBm: ? weird

[17:55] <tim__> anyone know where i can buy a computer like the mac mini but has open-hardware
[17:55] <Pici> !ot | tim__
[17:55] <litropy> Peeps, how do I get multiple consoles in recovery mode? I just get a blinking "_" When I Ctrl+Alt+Fx
[17:56] <litropy> furthermore, adding "&" to the end of my command doesn't work ... very well.
[17:56] <compdoc> tim_, they sell tiny computers
[17:56] <tim__> what does sudo apt-get install nuke do?
[17:56] <litropy> Nevermind, peeps I did what I had to do.
[17:57] <bencahill> vBm: okay, do you have any pertinent items in Event Viewer?
[17:57] <bencahill> vBm: (on the windows machine)
[17:57] <bencahill> vBm: btw, what v of windows?
[17:57] <xcthulhu> What is a good netbook to buy for ubuntu?
[17:58] <rogue780> ubuntu won't detect my monitor, so I'm stuck at max resolution of 800x600. how can I manually increase it to 1024x768? even if it's a virtual resolution of sorts, I need to get a bigger screen so I can click a button
[17:59] <bencahill> rogue780: anything in System > Administration > Additional Drivers ?
[17:59] <rogue780> bencahill, it says there are non available
[17:59] <rogue780> it's on this old dell server with a kvm switch
[17:59] <ia9371> is ther anyway to switch between headphone and speaker sounds?!
[17:59] <ia9371> in ubuntu 10
[17:59] <bencahill> rogue780: ok, just curious
[17:59] <rethus> evolution is an old version - tells me someone in #evolution, cause 3.32 is actual stable release.  where can i get this for maverick
[17:59] <vBm> bencahill, win7 ultimate ... and let me see for even viewer ... also this is when i get if i try smbmount -> http://paste.omertabeyond.com/view/raw/2290cac0
[17:59] <bencahill> rogue780: it could be the kvm switch, can you nix it from the equation?
[18:00] <jhford> is there a way to allow more than one libnotify toast per application in ubuntu?
[18:00] <rogue780> unfortunatly, no
[18:00] <jhford> rogue780: was that for me?
[18:00] <bencahill> vBm: you need to be running smbmount ^^ as root (sudo)
[18:00] <bencahill> vBm: ...or add it to /etc/fstab with the "user" option
[18:01] <rogue780> jhford, no it was for bencahill
[18:01] <jhford> ah, k (i just joined, i was going to say that was a quick response ;)

[18:13] <TimR> hey guys can anybody help me out with perl module for Net/SMTP/TLS/ButMaintained.pm  for server 10.04LTS
[18:13] <AbhiJit> induz, no
[18:13] <AbhiJit> induz, nothing effecting in you /home
[18:13] <ia9371> so what is the problem with the Sound in UBuntu 10
[18:13] <ia9371> is there anything I can do to
[18:14] <induz> AbhiJit, what about WINE and saved data on c: via WINE
[18:14] <bencahill> induz: that's in home, at least with the default WINEPREFIX
[18:14] <AbhiJit> induz, as per i know no problem because all your wine data is on your /home only so there should not be any problem
[18:14] <induz> is there any known DELL wireless 1450 card problem on 10.4.1
[18:15] <x64-amd> hi all
[18:15] <night> popey ... i never set`up a pass for user default i tryed to change the pass but it keeps promting me with wrong pass! What should i do!?:D
[18:15] <chrisetc> Is there any sort of order for requesting support? Or should I just go about and ask?
[18:15] <Pici> chrisetc: Just ask.
[18:15] <bencahill> AbhiJit, induz: unless you're using other WINEPREFIX's, of course, in that case your data will be wherever you put
[18:15] <x64-amd> can i talk to someone in private about opensolaris?
[18:15] <Pici> x64-amd: Try #opensolaris
[18:15] <induz> AbhiJit, is there any problem of bugs regarding DELL 1450 card?
[18:15] <AbhiJit> induz, no idea
[18:16] <induz> is it a good idea to Upgrade?
[18:16] <smw> anyone know of a good compact theme for gnome on ubuntu 10.10?
[18:16] <PowerTux> hi all anyone has notebook Dell Vostro 3500 with NVidia GT218 GeForce 310M card ? it works ?
[18:16] <bencahill> how can i change filetype associations?
[18:16] <induz> I dont have any problem with Karmic so far
[18:16] <chrisetc> Right. Well, I haven't touched anything unix based since I was thirteen, so I am quite lost. I don't remember anything. I recently made the switch from windows 7 to netbook remix and after the recent update it seems unity has disapeared on me. No gui whatsover. Except my cursor is now a black x.
[18:16] <Pici> bencahill: In GNOME?
[18:17] <TimR> hey guys can anybody help me out with perl module for Net/SMTP/TLS/ButMaintained.pm  for server 10.04LTS
[18:17] <bencahill> Pici: yes, I want to "un-associate" some applications, i.e.
[18:17] <rogue780> bencahill, it's a "VGA compatabil controller" made by XGI and it is an Z7/Z9 (XG20 core)
[18:17] <Pici> !details | TimR
[18:17] <Pici> bencahill: As far as I know you need to do that manually for each file type.
[18:18] <bencahill> rogue780: tell it to popey, I was just giving you the command :)
[18:18] <rogue780> popey, my last to you
[18:18] <induz> why few words are cut on WINE?
[18:18] <bencahill> Pici: that is fine if I have to do it from cli, I just don't know how! :)
[18:18] <TimR> I am running 10.04lts server and when perl module for Net/SMTP/TLS/ButMaintained.pm  for server 10.04LTS I get this: #     Error:  Can't locate Net/SMTP/TLS/ButMaintained.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /root/.cpan/build/Email-Sender-Transport-SMTP-TLS-0.09-5repxr/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/Email-Sender-Transport-SMTP-TLS-0.09-5repxr/blib/arch /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/pe

[18:18] <FloodBot3> TimR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:18] <Pici> induz: What do you mean?
[18:18] <yellabs> is it just me or is 2.6.32-27-generic slowing things down ( kernel update 10.04 )
[18:19] <induz> I have a .doc file when i open on WINE few worsd one the begining of the paragraphs are cut
[18:19] <induz> or not seen
[18:19] <induz> Pici,
[18:19] <popey> rogue780: never heard of it!
[18:19] <TimR> here is the info im having: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553289/
[18:20] <Pici> induz: You mean in Microsoft Word running under WINE?
[18:20] <induz> Pici, i have .doc file and when I open it on WINE running words, few letters in the start of a para are not seen
[18:20] <bencahill> induz: what version of Word?
[18:20] <rogue780> popey, me neither
[18:20] <induz> bencahill, words2007
[18:21] <induz> Pici, yes Words2007 running on WINE
[18:21] <Pici> TimR: Have you installed that perl module?
[18:21] <night> popey ... i never set`up a pass for user default i tryed to change the pass but it keeps promting me with wrong pass! What should i do!?:D
[18:21] <TimR> pici I dont know how to install it that is why I am asking
[18:21] <Pici> induz: We can't provide support for applications running under WINE here.  Please check #winehq and their appdb.
[18:22] <Pici> TimR: I don't see it in the repositories, I'd have to go and use cpan to install it.
[18:22] <induz> Pici, I read WINEHQ but still
[18:22] <TimR> Pici I tried that and no luck
[18:22] <bencahill> induz: if you are using a language other than english, see this (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12811), but you will get more support in #winehq
[18:22] <Pici> induz: They know more about getting things to run under WINE than we do.  Thats why we tell you to ask there.
[18:22] <ZykoticK9> induz, #winehq is also a channel here on freenode
[18:23] <Pici> TimR: No luck as in you don't know how to do it, or you installed it and it didn't work?
[18:23] <TimR> Pici i dont think I know how to do it
[18:23] <TimR> Pici what is the correct way of doing it
[18:23] <induz> Pici, ZykoticK9 and bencahill I asked Qs on winehq too
[18:23] <m1chael> how come i cant change permissions on a mounted file system (aka USB hard drive) ?
[18:24] <Pici> induz: Then you need to be patient there.
[18:24] <madx_> Hey guys i need help .. I run testdisk
[18:24] <chrisetc> michael, you need to unmount.

[18:28] <whitlecj> anyone available to help a linux newb with some wireless issues?
[18:28] <Pici> TimR: I'm not sure how to install perl modules from scratch.
[18:28] <TimR> ok
[18:28] <nikhilax> How can we make partition table without any operating system?
[18:28] <AbhiJit> nikhilax, use gparted live cd
[18:28] <kreign> hi all; I need to run a command on boot: before non-root filesystems get mounted but after modprobe gets run. any help on where to shove that in upstart?
[18:28] <bencahill> Pici: so how can I edit the associations manually, in ~/.local/share/applications ?
[18:28] <AbhiJit> WaltherFI, http://askubuntu.com/questions/12055/tool-to-measure-speed-of-your-pc-laptop-ubuntu-perfomance-index
[18:28] <rogue780> nikhilax, your answer is 74575

[18:29] <rogue780> nikhilax, or 10010001101001111
[18:29] <WaltherFI> AbhiJit: Phoronix is very heavy, and based on php
[18:29] <AbhiJit> !init | kreign
[18:29] <popey> rogue780: sorry, I've been grabbed at work
[18:30] <rogue780> nikhilax, you can use a live cd to create a partition table without installing an operating system
[18:30] <AbhiJit> WaltherFI, see the other responses down on the page
[18:30] <nikhilax> which live CD?
[18:30] <jongbergs> hello, is there a direct way to convert ubuntu desktop to ubuntu server? my intention is i wanted to have a server setup without installing from scratch..
[18:30] <rogue780> nikhilax, why are you using 11.04? it hasn't been released yet
[18:30] <nikhilax> Yes, i am mad,, was just want to see..
[18:30] <milamber> jongbergs: what kind of server?
[18:30] <Bipul`> jon8,  what kind of server setup ?
[18:30] <whitlecj> I am ubuntu 10.10 and everything works great but I have trouble browsing some websites over wireless and uploading to my dropbox.  Can anyone help
[18:30] <cime> hi! anybody have a simple c/c++ tutorial on how to use libpam for simple user authentication ( (username, password) => true/false ) ?
[18:31] <jongbergs> milamber: 9.10
 Help man
[18:31] <rogue780> nikhilax, any ubuntu live cd that is compatible with your cpu architecture, you could use dsl, knoppix, fedora, etc. any live cd for a linux distro will most likely have a partition editor
[18:31] <milamber> jongbergs: are you going to do file serving, web, are you trying to get a lamp set up? there are many different things you could mean when you say server
[18:31] <kreign> AbhiJit, uh did you read my question?
[18:32] <nikhilax> When i am trying 10.10 live CD it does not show any harddisk....
[18:32] <kreign> AbhiJit, nothing at all to do with the actual post/kernel load, i'm talking about upstart stuff.
[18:32] <litropy> in nano, when I ^X, what format do I save a .conf file as?
[18:32] <AbhiJit> kreign, sorry if i have misunderstood it
[18:32] <kreign> what I need needs to occur prior to the traditional 'init.d' stuff.
[18:32] <AbhiJit> !upstart
[18:32] <kreign> ie before filesystems get mounted.
[18:32] <rogue780> does anyone know how to tell what video output I'm using vga1 vs vga2 etc?
[18:32] <whitlecj> anyone on wireless issues?
[18:32] <gusg> What is the default audio framework in Ubuntu. 'pulse' or 'alsa' ?
[18:32] <jongbergs> milamber: i'm suppose to setup a server but haven't got hold of the server cd so i decided to install the desktop version instead..
[18:32] <m1chael> how come i cant change permissions on a mounted file system (aka USB hard drive) ? chrisetc says i need to unmount.. why do i need to unmount?
[18:33] <milamber> jongbergs: what kind of server?
[18:33] <diphthong> All I want for Christmas is to use the font that 'pterm' uses, in gnome-terminal . Can someone help me with my dream?
[18:33] <rogue780> nikhilax, is your hard disk plugged in?
[18:33] <llutz> m1chael: what filesystem? changing permissions only works on unix-fs
[18:33] <nikhilax> Yes
[18:33] <nikhilax> But partition tables got damaged
[18:34] <nikhilax> rogue780, i tried sudo testdisk
[18:34] <jongbergs> milamber: lamp, ftp, etc...i want to get rid of applications not needed in a typical server to save space
[18:34] <kreign> AbhiJit, when does rc.local get sourced/run?
[18:34] <m1chael> how can i tell what the file system is?
[18:34] <AbhiJit> kreign, no idea
[18:34] <llutz> m1chael: sudo blkid -g && sudo blkid
[18:34] <AbhiJit> m1chael, see in system monitor , last tab
[18:34] <iibewegung> is there a way to give a default low priority to all programs run by some user so he doesn't have to use "nice" all the time?
[18:35] <m1chael> it's ntfs file system :(
[18:35] <jongbergs> milamber: as much as possible i want to avoid installing server from the start..
[18:35] <llutz> m1chael: use mount-options to adjust permissions then
[18:35] <llutz> !ntfs > m1chael
[18:36] <ubuntunoobz> hi, i need some help, i downloaded and installed enemy territory quake wars linux version installed it and all i get is a black screen for a brief second and this error in the terminal ERROR: The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features: GL_ARB_occlusion_query is this because my 945gm on this laptop is to weak or is there a mod witch i can get this to play
[18:37] <nikhilax> My partition tables got damaged and i am not able to see my hard disk from any live CD of ubuntu. Can anybody help me?
[18:37] <r00t4rd3d> After I updated , windows got wiped from grub menu. How I fix ? http://pastebin.com/q2Qyp2nM
[18:37] <thieven> nikhilax, parted magic is a linux iso that you can use. test disk is a program that it comes with that will solve all your problems.
[18:37] <milamber> jongbergs: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server openssh-server
[18:37] <nikhilax> root4rd3d get the result of sudo os-probe
[18:38] <milamber> jongbergs: that will get you a basic lamp/ssh/sftp solution
[18:38] <overdub> jongbergs, unless you require a very load intensive server environment, the desktop version should run any kind of server service you need
[18:38] <Nanoha> Does anybody in here know when using vsftpd if I can force a specific user to a different home directory than the default conf?
[18:38] <nikhilax> testdisk only i run which destroys my partition table
[18:38] <gobbe> !grub | r00t4rd3d
[18:38] <gobbe> r00t4rd3d: dead those links
[18:38] <jongbergs> milamber: i have already setup those services :)
[18:39] <nikhilax> root4rd3d: download grub2 to mbr
[18:39] <llutz> Nanoha: iirc you can using virtual-users and separated user-configs, user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf
[18:39] <milamber> jongbergs: then what is your question?
[18:39] <r00t4rd3d> gobbe windows was install first
[18:40] <jongbergs> overdub, milamber yes but i want to get rid of those apps that came with standard desktop so that future upgrades will be minimize..
[18:40] <nikhilax> thieven: can you please tell how can i get my partition table back? i mean i want my data back? is it possible?
[18:40] <gobbe> r00t4rd3d: and? "RestoreGrub" part gives you tips how to restore
[18:40] <tgywa> What is the difference between ppa and Apt repostiory
[18:40] <Nanoha> llutz: perfect!  I've already got virtual users, so all I do is... cp the conf to the user dir and tweak.  For example, myuser name is "wil" so would the conf file be named wil.conf ?
[18:40] <ubuntunoobz> does any1 know if i can mod my driver so that i can play etqw on a 945gm ubuntu 10.10
[18:40] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[18:40] <llutz> Nanoha: yes, specify "local_root=/new/dir" there
[18:41] <Nanoha> llutz: thanks!  i'll give it a try
[18:41] <r00t4rd3d> Jordan_U, command not found
[18:41] <jongbergs> milamber: my question is there a command that shall we say
[18:41] <gobbe> ubuntunoobz: you can do what ever you like, if you have skills and drivers are opensource
[18:41] <PeterNL> Hi, I just installed ubuntu server 10.04.1, and I can't get a network connection
[18:41] <WaltherFI> any difference between the notify systems in ubuntu and ubuntustudio?
[18:41] <jongbergs> milamber: my question is there a command that shall we say "convert" an ubuntu desktop to server?
[18:41] <ubuntunoobz> yeah but i dont have skills
[18:41] <aeon-ltd> tgywa: ppas are maintained by someone else, not ubuntu
[18:41] <gobbe> PeterNL: what kind of connection you are using?
[18:42] <WaltherFI> the notify popups on studio are ugly, compared to vanilla
[18:42] <WaltherFI> and it's not about themes
[18:42] <PeterNL> ethernet, with dhcp
[18:42] <PeterNL> gobbe: ^
[18:42] <nikhilax> My partition tables got damaged and i am not able to see my hard disk from any live CD of ubuntu. Can anybody help me?
[18:42] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: That's the problem then. "sudo apt-get install os-prober", then "sudo update-grub". If you're using grub2 (the default for Ubuntu since 9.10) a windows entry will then be added automatically.
[18:42] <gobbe> PeterNL: and you are not gettin ip or what?
[18:42] <thieven> nikhilax, i just told you that parted magic is a distro that is designed to solve your problem.
[18:42] <milamber> jongbergs: no. you can remove all the gnome stuff as shown here: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekdelucid  (just leave off the && install kubuntu part)
[18:42] <tgywa> aeon-ltd, thank u, so if I install a package from ppa  ... means that ubuntu will not officially support it
[18:42] <darkweasel> is there some way to do the following? the audio input should combine the audio output and what i say into my mic.. so i play a song on youtube and sing to it, and record the result?
[18:42] <PeterNL> lshw says it's "DISABLED"
[18:42] <tgywa> ?
[18:43] <gobbe> PeterNL: what is the model of your ethernet-card?
[18:43] <nikhilax> thieven: can i use gparted iso?
[18:43] <aimtrainer> Hi! Can anybody please tell me how I make rhythmbox NOT start on plugging my iphone in?
[18:43] <jongbergs> milamber: alright i'll check it out.. my last option would be to identify those apps and manually remove them..thanks
[18:43] <litropy> Hi, peeps. When I boot up, the user switcher which would usually display my only user account, which I would click then log in, doesn't display my user. All I have is the background, the user switcher rectangle, the ubuntu logo, and my computer's name underneath. The switcher is not frozen, for when I click my computer's name, the text switches t "Ubuntu 10.10."
[18:43] <WaltherFI> aimtrainer: system - preferences - preferred applications
[18:44] <aimtrainer> WaltherFI, I did that already
[18:44] <r00t4rd3d> Jordan_U, ty , fixed :D

[18:44] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: You're welcome :)
[18:44] <gobbe> PeterNL: so you cannot see it with ifconfig?
[18:44] <r00t4rd3d> Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
[18:44] <PeterNL> gobbe: only with ifconfig -a
[18:44] <nirazio> Where can I see a list of supported bluetooth drivers?
[18:44] <litropy> When I enable autologin using gdm's .conf, I get "No driver detected for Unity." Mind oyu, I've been using 10.10 just fine with this computer. It's an Intel Atom N80
[18:44] <overdub> darkweasel, http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Tutorial_-_Mixing_a_Narration_With_Background_Music <-- this might help you
[18:45] <gobbe> PeterNL: what does happen if you run sudo dhclient ethX
[18:45] <litropy> -- /proc is mounted
[18:46] <x64-amd> is there somewhere a channel to talk about non ubuntu distros?
[18:46] <Boatingbum23> What would cause a DVD to not play even after ive installed the restricted extras, VLC and Kaffine? when i try to play it, it usually tells me "Could not read from resource"
[18:46] <Pici> x64-amd: ##Linux
[18:46] <PeterNL> gobbe: "No such device"
[18:46] <gobbe> PeterNL: hmmh. I remember that in past there was some issues with RTL's drivers
[18:46] <darkweasel> thanks overdub, but my problem is that my audacity somehow doesn't work right, if i click import and select a file, nothing happens... that's why i wanted to redirect the output to the input and record directly
[18:47] <x64-amd> thks pici
[18:47] <gobbe> PeterNL: however i cannot remember did they got fixed
[18:47] <mikeconcepts> seeking ideas problem is windows is required to print coupons from coupons.com, running a vm of xp is too heavy for this machine, presently all I can do is remote into a windows box
[18:47] <PeterNL> gobbe: There is no /dev/eth0
[18:47] <gobbe> PeterNL: even that ifconfig -a shows it?
[18:47] <FaiLican> Hey guys what command do I type in to the terminal to see what the ethernet and wireless cards are associated with? t.ex eth0 and wl0?
[18:48] <PeterNL> gobbe: yes, ifconfig -a shows something that doesn't have a file in /dev
[18:48] <Nanoha> llutz: I don't think that worked. (vsftpd)
[18:48] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, run ifup eth0 , then sudo dhclient eth0
[18:48] <Leprkan> Hey folks.   Fresh installation.  When I try to download something my wireless disconnects.  Any thoughts?
[18:49] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: I already fixed it, it got renamed to eth1 somehow.
[18:49] <PeterNL> gobbe: ^
[18:49] <gobbe> ok
[18:49] <gobbe> :)
[18:49] <llutz> Nanoha: sry i thought i did it that way once. i don't have any other idea then
[18:49] <PeterNL> But how do I rename it back to eth0?
[18:50] <swazzy> how do i turn off compiz fusion?
[18:50] <PowerTux> anyone has NVidia GT218 GeForce 310M working properly ?
[18:50] <Nanoha> llutz: I do just name the specific user config file as user.conf where user = wil in this case, right?
[18:50] <llutz> Nanoha: yes
[18:50] <FaiLican> Hey guys what command do I type in to the terminal to see what the ethernet and wireless cards are associated with? t.ex eth0 and wl0?
[18:51] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, why worry, if it works
[18:51] <PeterNL> because I want to know
[18:51] <Nanoha> llutz: any special ownership or permissions I need to watch out for?

[18:52] <llutz> Nanoha: configs should be root:root
[18:52] <nikhilax> Hey, to make partitions tables without operating system which is better GParted live CD or partition magic or something else? when i use ubuntu live disk it doesn't even show me my harddisk.
[18:52] <PeterNL> oops :|

[18:56] <xxx> hello
[18:56] <WaltherFI> VLC is very capable, it can do almost anything
[18:56] <x64-amd> is there even a opensolaris fork with kde?
[18:56] <xxx> someone here?
[18:56] <earlgrey> I am having an issue with the windows manager in ubuntu netbook remix. The unity GUI seems to be non-existant and I am not sure quite what to do. I am running 10.10 on an asus eeepc 1001p if that helps.
[18:57] <Guest83700> yes, I'm running in terminal only mode....I was wondering is there a way to watch Youtube videos?
[18:57] <ZykoticK9> x64-amd, it's OT for this channel - but you should probably consider opensolaris to be a dead project
[18:57] <dwxreaper> where can I get a list of repositories for ibex?
[18:57] <smiley__> ubuntu 10.4,How do i make the menubar,Clock,Etc Transparent ?
[18:57] <gobbe> nikhilax: so you cannot even see your disks?
[18:57] <gobbe> nikhilax: what kind of disk it is?
[18:57] <xangua> dwxreaper: intrepid ibex is not supported
[18:57] <WaltherFI> Guest83700: vlc -V caca
[18:57] <WaltherFI> Guest83700: ascii output
[18:57] <x64-amd> ZykoticK9: i cannot send messages in linux channel, and for sure i am not banned
[18:57] <rogue780> I miss dapper drake
[18:58] <nikhilax> gobbe, i can't see the disk. SATA 320 GB
[18:58] <Pici> !register | x64-amd
[18:58] <dwxreaper> xangua: where is the list of repositories?
[18:58] <gobbe> nikhilax: boot up with live-cd, open terminal and run "sudo fdisk -l" and put it to pastebin.ubuntu.com
[18:58] <Pici> x64-amd: You need to register to join there.
[18:58] <genii-around> x64-amd: Maybe ask in #kde4-solaris channel
[18:58] <nikhilax> sure
[18:58] <Pici> x64-amd: sorry, to speak there, not join.
[18:58] <x64-amd> pici but i post nice to other channels without problems..
[18:58] <xangua> !eol | dwxreaper
[18:58] <Pici> x64-amd: They have different settings there.
[18:58] <dwxreaper> xangua: that's not a list
[18:58] <x64-amd> ok clear
[18:59] <xangua> dwxreaper: eol distros are not supported...
[18:59] <dwxreaper> whatever
[18:59] <earlgrey> I have been googling for about an hour, and searching the forums, perhaps I missed the solution but I am at quite a loss as of what to do
[18:59] <smiley__> Anybody ?
[19:01] <litropy> Peeps, is samba (smd) needed for gdm?
[19:01] <earlgrey> I thought perhaps metacity run or unity run might start it up again, but it doesn't. I haven't worked with linux in five years so I am really out of touch
[19:02] <Pici> litropy: They're completely unrelated.
[19:02] <xangua> earlgrey: metacity --replace
[19:02] <earlgrey>  I tried, actually. I get a windows manager error: unable to open x display
[19:03] <earlgrey> and I've googled that error message a bit, and I've not come to any solution unfortunately
[19:05] <earlgrey> when I command unity run it displays:  gtk-warning **: cannot open display:
[19:05] <PeterNL> okay, so I can fix my network connectio by running sudo dhclient eth1, but it fails at the next reboot
[19:07] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:07] <smiley__> ubuntu 10.4,How do you make the menubar,such as the clock Transparent ?
[19:07] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: ok
[19:08] <WaltherFI> smiley__: right click on panel, properties, color/theming/something
[19:08] <PeterNL> I'm running apt-get dist-upgrade now, so this'll have to wait a minute :)
[19:08] <smiley__> i did but onley about an inch is transparent
[19:08] <WaltherFI> smiley__: do you have decent drivers?
[19:09] <WaltherFI> smiley__: as in, restricted nvidia's or so
[19:09] <rogue780> I'm trying to use xrandr to set my resolution to 1024x768. I go through the steps, but xrandr says: screen cannot be larger than 800x600 (desired size 1024x768). does anyone know how to get around this?
[19:09] <smiley__> i have an ATI 9600
[19:10] <WaltherFI> smiley__: well if you have compiz, you could add on the Opacity properties a match for gnome-panel and drop the transparency value
[19:10] <suigeneris> hello
[19:11] <suigeneris> ubuntu refuses to type anything in the numeric pad. how can I fix that?
[19:11] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: stupid question,, but do you have numlock on
[19:11] <suigeneris> I tried rebooting it several timer
[19:11] <suigeneris> yes
[19:11] <chris_bsd> suigeneris: press numlock
[19:11] <Elmo84> Hi guys
[19:11] <suigeneris> chris_bsd, walmis I have it on
[19:12] <Elmo84> I know that 9.04 isn't supported anymore...
[19:12] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, *
[19:12] <litropy> how do I check what GPU chipset I have via bash?
[19:12] <Elmo84> but how can I get the latest gcc lib installed with apt-get ?
[19:12] <WaltherFI> litropy: hwinfo
[19:12] <Elmo84> the repo version is 4.3
[19:12] <xangua> Elmo84: upgrade to a supported distro
[19:12] <xangua> or compile
[19:13] <Elmo84> xangua: The client PC can't be upgraded
[19:13] <PeterNL> Elmo84: you can try to install a newer version from packages.ubuntu.com, but you might break all kinds of things
[19:13] <coz_> litropy,   or   sudo dmidecode
[19:13] <WaltherFI> Reasons why notify-osd has different positions for the notifications? some are dropped a lot lower than others, and others are where they should be (close to the panel)
[19:13] <Elmo84> PeterNL, i see..:(
[19:13] <xangua> PeterNL Elmo84 you might or you will¿
[19:13] <PeterNL> Elmo84: and anything can be upgraded, hardware requirements haven't changed afaik
[19:14] <chriskrems> hi guys I need help with grub
[19:14] <Elmo84> PeterNL, the PC is located in a commercial place and such an operation is too big to do
[19:15] <suigeneris> how do I fix this guys?
[19:15] <smiley__> i have it,but i dont see any transparent settings
[19:15] <WaltherFI> smiley__: compizconfig-settings manager?
[19:15] <PeterNL> Elmo84: say you have to do it, or it will crash if you don't (if you really debend on that machine, get a 2nd one for these cases. you're paying the price for not having a plan for this)
[19:15] <smiley__> Correct
[19:15] <rogue780> I'm trying to use xrandr to set my resolution to 1024x768. I go through the steps, but xrandr says: screen cannot be larger than 800x600 (desired size 1024x768). does anyone know how to get around this?
[19:15] <WaltherFI> smiley__: Opacity, Brightness and saturation
[19:16] <PeterNL> Elmo84: I don't have a plan either, but I don't depend on a 24/7 uptime, altough that would be nice anyway
[19:16] <WaltherFI> smiley__: window specific settings - new - windows (+) and tap your panel
[19:16] <chriskrems> can any1 help? I got an old via mobo installing worked fine, I installed from an USB key, but now the sytem boots only if this key is inserted, and this stupid via mobo recognizes the USB key only if the power plug has been disconnected...
[19:16] <Elmo84> I could always statically link to th GCC runtime right?
[19:17] <chriskrems> if I boot w/o the USB key it tells me verifying DMI pool
[19:17] <mongy> Have made a new mbr to an external drive, but not formatted the partition so old data should still be there.. which apps are available in linux to recover fat/ntfs partitions?
[19:17] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/2YVLyfds
[19:18] <WaltherFI> smiley__: got it?
[19:18] <suigeneris> hmm, note to self: don't remove a language when it's in use
[19:18] <j-invariant> hello: On my computer there is a key which turns off wireless internet "F2". Anyone know about this? How can I turn it off?
[19:18] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: heh.
[19:18] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: I guess that's what happens when I reboot the machine, right?
[19:18] <PeterNL> j-invariant: migth be fn-F2
[19:18] <chriskrems> any1 can help?
[19:18] <suigeneris> anyway, back to my original question
[19:18] <suigeneris> ubuntu refuses to type anything in the numeric pad. how can I fix that?
[19:18] <PeterNL> j-invariant: otherwise, right click the network icon, and disable it through the menu
[19:18] <j-invariant> PeterNL: fn-F2 is okay - the problem is when I don't hold fn, that key disables my internet
[19:19] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: check your keymaps
[19:19] <j-invariant> PeterNL: sorry I meant, disable that key: I press it by accident sometimes
[19:19] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: also, localizations
[19:19] <PeterNL> j-invariant: oh, that's a problem.
[19:19] <gobbe> j-invariant: usuallyu computers bios has ability to change that
[19:19] <gobbe> j-invariant: like in my HP i can turn those function keys to work with fn or without
[19:19] <PeterNL> j-invariant: I have that with my disable-touchpad button, it's next to the volume key :)
[19:19] <j-invariant> I don't have a clue what a bios is: Is this difficult?
[19:19] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, how do I check those? env?
[19:20] <j-invariant> PeterNL: I can't imagine anyone
[19:20] <PeterNL> j-invariant: might be... do you have the laptop manual present?
[19:20] <j-invariant> wants that button
[19:20] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: should be in preferences
[19:20] <litropy> Peeps, I have an Intel 945GM GPU and when I load into 10.10, I get "No required driver detected for unity." This is not virtualbox.
[19:20] <PeterNL> j-invariant: I use it, it's annoying when it tries to connect to a crappy network when I have my network cable ready to plug in
[19:20] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: for bash, try locale
[19:21] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, preferences where?
[19:21] <PeterNL> j-invariant: wifi is disabled most of the time for me :)
[19:21] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: gnome/kde/xfce/terminal?
[19:21] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, gnome
[19:21] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: system - preferences - keyboard
[19:22] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: select your keyboard model from there, if there is no your model, select 105-key generic
[19:22] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, http://pastebin.com/J1W5Y24d
[19:22] <chriskrems> what does /dev/SDB mean?
[19:22] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: second Sata disk
[19:22] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: sda is first, sdb second, etc
[19:23] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: your locales are correct. check your keyboard settings
[19:23] <chriskrems> I dont have a sata port in this mobo
[19:23] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: well that's really interesting
[19:23] <chriskrems> for sure
[19:23] <chriskrems> I did sudo fdisk -l 2>/dev/null | egrep "Disk /|/dev/" | sed "s#^/dev/#Part /dev/#" | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/://' | xargs -n1 -IX sudo sh -c "hexdump -v -s 0x80 -n  2 -e '2/1 \"%x\" \"\\n\"' X | xargs -n1 -IY sh -c \"case  \"Y\" in '48b4') echo X: GRUB 2 v1.96 ;; 'aa75' | '5272') echo X: GRUB Legacy ;; '7c3c') echo X: GRUB 2 v1.97 oder höher ;; *) echo X: Kein GRUB Y ;; esac\""

[19:24] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: /etc/init.d/networking restart: http://pastebin.com/2YVLyfds I guess that's what happens when I reboot the machine, right?
[19:24] <chriskrems> to check where grub is installed and it said :/dev/sdb: GRUB 2 v1.97 oder höher (or higher)
[19:24] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: interesting. usb stick then?
[19:25] <chriskrems> yes USB key / the one I installed from
[19:25] <WaltherFI> ah
[19:25] <WaltherFI> your GRUB is installed on that stick
[19:25] <WaltherFI> not your HD
[19:25] <maintenance> hello, sorry for my poor english, i'm a french frogger :P i lookfor a "good howto" for using virtual interfaces with chip atheros, someone know where i can find this ?
[19:25] <chriskrems> thats shit^^
[19:25] <SamuelD> hi, how do I enable numlock automatically when I'm in the bootmenu? Numlock is on in the BIOS but Grub turns it off when loading any OS
[19:25] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, still no :(
[19:25] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, sorry I should have asked earlier , are you using nm-applet (network manager) ?
[19:25] <PeterNL> nope, it's a server install
[19:25] <chriskrems> how to install grub on my hd? which one is my hd how to find out?
[19:26] <andrico> okay so.... last time I installed ubuntu 10.10, when I installed the proprietary nvidia drivers, when I restarted, I was presented with the console login, and starting X did not work. I recalled reading that removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf would fix this problem, but that file was not present so I poked around and deleted some files. When I restarted, I had the graphical login again, but no keyboard or mouse input, so I deleted something
[19:26] <andrico> primary video card before this login, and have enabled and installed the proprietary drivers. What should I do if I get the console login again?
[19:26] <Leprkan> I just made an account on the ubuntu forums and I can't make any posts.  Why?
[19:26] <WaltherFI> SamuelD: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[19:26] <SamuelD> WaltherFl, and what do I write there?
[19:27] <kslater> anyone care to enlighten me how to get 10.10 to mount my NTFS formatted drive to mount with exec permission?
[19:27] <WaltherFI> SamuelD: there should be a part saying something about numlock state
[19:27] <BluesKaj> ok PeterNL , open /etc/network/interfaces and pastebin the contents , same for /etc/resolv.conf .. we need to take alook there
[19:27] <PeterNL> ok
[19:27] <turtle153> i need help with a tablet
[19:27] <SamuelD> WaltherFl, no I'm sorry but it isn't there
[19:28] <chriskrems> waltherfi: how to install grub to my hd / and where to find out which it is?
[19:28] <WaltherFI> SamuelD: then you have old version of grub, can't hep
[19:28] <litropy> well, I've resolved to beta test natty. How do I upgrade via bash?
[19:28] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: how many HD's do you have?
[19:28] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/txWecWuZ and http://pastebin.com/hmu0s1WY
[19:28] <greg1785> bonsoir
[19:28] <turtle153> i followed some instructions and i was told to put the driver file in /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/kernel/drivers/input/tablet but i dunno how to set the driver
[19:28] <dirty-harry> hey, I need help with ultravnc(win vista) to ssvnc (lucid) reverse --- encryption problem
[19:28] <svm_invictvs> Heya
[19:28] <svm_invictvs> I'm having problems with my display drivers.
[19:28] <WaltherFI> turtle153: which tablet?
[19:28] <rogue780> I'm trying to use xrandr to set my resolution to 1024x768. I go through the steps, but xrandr says: screen cannot be larger than 800x600 (desired size 1024x768). does anyone know how to get around this?
[19:29] <turtle153> trust flex design
[19:29] <chriskrems> waltherfi: just 1 (compact flash card on IDE)
[19:29] <turtle153> its a rebranded wacom tablet
[19:29] <svm_invictvs> It's forcing 4:3 resolutions only, but I need widescreen.  What's the best way to go about rectifying that?
[19:29] <WaltherFI> turtle153: there are native drivers in the repos
[19:29] <WaltherFI> turtle153: search for wacom in the synaptic
[19:29] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: I guess I should change eth0 in eth1 in /etc/networking/interfaces, right? But is there anyway to rename eth1 to eth0? As it used to be eth0 a while ago
[19:29] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: is there /dev/hda ?
[19:29] <rogue780> Ok, new strategy: how can I make ubnutu run a vnc server that logs a person into a virtual desktop with a larger resolution than 800x600?
[19:30] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: boot from livecd/livestick and run grub-install /dev/hda or whatever your drive is
[19:30] <mac123> does ndiswrapper come installed on 10.10?
[19:30] <turtle153> ok, ive got the driver
[19:30] <turtle153> how do i choose it/
[19:30] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: wait a minute, I installed the OS in another machine than it is running in now, so I guess the old NIC is eth0 and the new NIC is eth1
[19:30] <WaltherFI> turtle153: mouse right- mark for installation - commit changes
[19:31] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: fix in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1007285
[19:31] <m1chael> i have an external USB hard drive NTFS .. i need to change permissions on the fie system.. is this what i need to read to figure this out? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions -- is there an easier GUI/point/click way to do this?
[19:31] <chriskrems> waltherfi: I can boot the system with the USB key, I'm in the system, there is no hda
[19:31] <turtle153> what do i do once its installed?
[19:32] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: do you have any filesystems mounted other than your usb?
[19:32] <WaltherFI> turtle153: logout login
[19:32] <gobbe> chriskrems: there should be sda, hda's are replaced with sdX for age ago :)
[19:32] <turtle153> will the computer know which driver to use?
[19:33] <WaltherFI> turtle153: also, usually things like tablets don't need separate drivers, for me it worked out of the box
[19:33] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, yes rename in interfaces and save the file , the sees the ethernet as eth0 as long as theat pc only has one NIC, not to worry about the other . in resolv.conf the google dns nameservers should be reversed the primary is always 8.8.8.8.
[19:33] <Lcawte> Hi, I'm having problems with Flash in Firefox. It works perfectly in Chrome, but it breaks/doesn't work fully in Firefox.. 10.10
[19:33] <BluesKaj> the pc sees
[19:33] <greg1785> quelqun peut maider svp ?
[19:33] <WaltherFI> turtle153: you should install the driver from the repo's , not any driver files should be needed
[19:33] <turtle153> walther, by tablet half works, but i have to press the pen down to move it
[19:33] <turtle153> *my
[19:33] <chriskrems> waltherfi turtle152: i have sda sda1 sda2 sda5
[19:33] <turtle153> and that selects everything
[19:34] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: numbers are partitions, sda is the whole disk
[19:34] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: I'll use my own router as primary dns anyway, so that wouldn't matter, and I'll just remove both lines, and make it autodetect anything :)
[19:34] <turtle153> sda? isnt that drives?
[19:34] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: and i presume you want the grub to be on MBR?
[19:34] <steve_> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my PC. When I shut down the PC, it doesn't shut all the way down. The screen is black but the fan in the computer is still running. Is there a way to fix that?
[19:34] <will_> hey guys. the file upload window on firefox has been acting kind of haywire recently. it responds poorly to keyboard input (sometimes working, sometimes not at all), clicking on files doesn't seem to work properly and if i somehow by luck navigate to the file i want then click "open", the file that is selected is something completely other to the one i wanted. anyone else having this problem? anyone know why it might be happenin
[19:34] <WaltherFI> turtle153: so what drivers have you installed and how?
[19:35] <turtle153> i tried wizard pen
[19:35] <turtle153> and thats it
[19:35] <edwardo> msg cuznt whats up
[19:35] <WaltherFI> turtle153: remove all those, trust in the repositories
[19:35] <edwardo> sry
[19:35] <chriskrems> waltherfi: yes I dont want to boot from the USB key, on the drive there is only ubuntu 10.04 nothing else
[19:35] <turtle153> ok
[19:35] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: sudo grub-install /dev/sda should be fine then
[19:35] <turtle153> complete removal?
[19:35] <edwardo> stupid question how do i see what the users in the channel/
[19:36] <WaltherFI> turtle153: for the drivers you have installed yourself, yes
[19:36] <compengi> hi, how to remove an application from startup script?
[19:36] <WaltherFI> edwardo: /names
[19:36] <bholz> Has anyone known any display issues with a thinkpad t30 and any version of ubuntu?
[19:36] <elliottu> How does the Ubuntu installer calculate the size of the swap partition to be created by default?
[19:36] <chriskrems> waltherfi: for sure? can I do this via SSH?
[19:36] <turtle153> and then ill restart and see if the one from synaptic works
[19:36] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: *should* work but i don't know for sure, ask that from someone else
[19:37] <WaltherFI> compengi: system - preferences - startup applications
[19:37] <chriskrems> waltherfi: a should is better then I hope^^
[19:37] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: but you see, you need write permission to the MBR, i'm not sure if you can get that over ssh
[19:38] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: i wouldn't be surprised if you need to boot from usb / cd to be able to mess with the MBR
[19:38] <chriskrems> waltherfi: Installation finished. No error reported. cross thumbs...
[19:38] <compengi> WaltherFI, i'm sorry, but vmware is not listed there
[19:39] <WaltherFI> compengi: let me guess, you have checked the box "remember" and you want it to forget it?
[19:39] <WaltherFI> compengi: there is no way i know of, those startup apps seem to be nowhere, i once had similar problem. It is failry easy to edit those that do appear in the list and add own entries
[19:40] <WaltherFI> compengi: of course, you could add a startup app with command killall vmware
[19:40] <turtle153> @WaltherFI: it kinda works now
[19:40] <elliottu> More specifically, how much swap would Ubuntu create for 3788376 bytes of RAM? (according to free(1))
[19:40] <elliottu> (i.e. 4 GiB, almost)
[19:41] <turtle153> WaltherFI: at the login screen i could hover the pen just for a second but now ive still got to press it against the tablet to move the cursor
[19:41] <WaltherFI> turtle153: preferences - mouse anything there?
[19:42] <chriskrems> waltherfi: thanks a lot it works!!! yesss
[19:42] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: no problem :)
[19:42] <turtle153> theres nothing for a tablet there. i know the hardware isnt broken because it worked on windows
[19:42] <WaltherFI> turtle153: very interesting
[19:42] <turtle153> i cant help thinking i need to choose the driver or something
[19:42] <WaltherFI> turtle153: google for your model + ubuntu?
[19:43] <goltoof> This all happened after I updated and rebooted. When I bootup it asks me to put in a username, it doesn't default to my user anymore.  I can't unlock the Login Screen Settings, clicking Unlock doesn't bring up the password box. When I login all that opens is the wallpaper and a small terminal.  Closing the terminal logs me out of the system. Gnome-panel doesn't even auto start, I have to enable gnome-panel, appearances and visual effects manually.  I can
[19:43] <turtle153> ive looked on the forums
[19:43] <WaltherFI> hmm
[19:43] <rogue780> if I have a vnc screen running as desktop:1, how do I connect to that screen instead of the normal desktop?
[19:43] <turtle153> in my lib/......./kernel/drivers/tablet directory I've got some drivers there already
[19:43] <bencahill> Hey guys, is there some way I could remotely emulate keyboard input?

[19:43] <sillykone> Why is it that when I first log in to my account I get sound, but then when I suspend my computer, I get no sound?  My sound card is ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA).
[19:44] <goltoof> sillykone: no sound plays when you suspend, by default.  assuming that's what you mean
[19:44] <WaltherFI> sillykone: ubuntu has weird issues when it comes to suspend and hardware wake up
[19:45] <goltoof> sillykone:  or do you mean after you resume from a suspension?
[19:45] <sillykone> goltoof, WaltherFI: Sorry, I meant after I wake my computer up, I get no sound.
[19:45] <bencahill> sillykone: do you need to suspend? I've had weird issues with it also
[19:45] <WaltherFI> sillykone: that's what i said
[19:45] <turtle153> ive had a go at wizard pen but its not working well
[19:45] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, you should also list the IPs of your pc , router(gateway) ... this tutorial will really help : http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[19:46] <WaltherFI> sillykone: ubuntu has issues with hardware wakeups, that are hard to fix. i'd recommend not to suspend or search desperately on forums
[19:46] <binni> Is it possible to run the current desktop oriented (not netbook) Unity interface on Ubuntu Maverick 10.10? The guides I've seen just tell me to install the unity package, but it seams like that's just the unity that got released for 10.10 netbook edition or something like that.
[19:46] <guest__> hey can anyone help me a with a grub config issue
[19:46] <WaltherFI> sillykone: also, compiling your own kernel might fix it, but it's not too easy
[19:46] <WaltherFI> guest__: fire it
[19:46] <turtle153> any idea where the X.org tablet configuration is?
[19:46] <binni> oh and not do it without having to compile too much
[19:46] <bencahill> !ask | guest__
[19:46] <goltoof> what do i do to unlock the login screen settings, clicking unlock doesn't bring up the password box, as of now
[19:46] <sillykone> WaltherFI: alright thanks...I'm glad others are having trouble...I thought I was going crazy. :)
[19:46] <sillykone> I've tried compiling my kernel once without success...I'll try it again.
[19:46] <goltoof> ?
[19:47] <bencahill> guest__: or ask on #grub
[19:47]  * hockebocke has just installed Maverick, but when logging in there isn't the Ubuntu Human default theme! It looks like an old Gnome standard theme or something. What's causing this?
[19:47] <Bogus8> is there a way to use a network share (samba) as swap space while running a live cd?
[19:47] <WaltherFI> sillykone: yeah, my ultraportable can't wake up the on-chip 3g modem
[19:47] <Kruptein> hey does anyone know some kind of software where you can start "ideas" and track your progress? :p
[19:47] <WaltherFI> sillykone: it is really frustrating
[19:47] <bencahill> hockebocke: screenshot?
[19:47] <goltoof> Kruptein:  gedit
[19:47] <nothingspecial> sillykone: Do you get sound in your headphones (if you have any) after suspend?
[19:48] <WaltherFI> Kruptein: there are no decent mindmap softwares afaik
[19:48] <bencahill> Kruptein: that sounds like a task for online software
[19:48] <Kruptein> goltoof: thanks but I was wondering whether there was a program for that or whether I would just use notes,  I would not use gedit for this matter :p
[19:48] <frank> does anyone know how I get windows media audio 9 working? I've tried totem, vlc and mplayer. Mplayer output is here: http://nopaste.info/fc8e3a8895.html
[19:48] <binni> can I install the current Unity interface on Ubuntu 10.10?
[19:48] <WaltherFI> Kruptein: Tomboy notes with its sync to UbuntuOne cloud might be the best
[19:48] <WaltherFI> binni: yep
[19:48] <Kruptein> bencahill: indeed, but it would not harm the site to have a gui :)
[19:48] <WaltherFI> binni: unity is just a separate package
[19:48] <mongy> any ntfs file/partition recovery software for ubuntu?
[19:48] <goltoof> Kruptein:  just kidding... you should should look into  mind mapping
[19:48] <Kruptein> WaltherFI: well yeah that's my option b
[19:49] <WaltherFI> Kruptein: there really are no good or decent mindmap softwares
[19:49] <steve_> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my PC. When I shut down the PC, it doesn't shut all the way down. The screen is black but the fan in the computer is still running. Is there a way to fix that?
[19:49] <Kruptein> goltoof: hm mindmapping is not entirely what I'm looking for :p
[19:49] <sillykone> nothingspecial:
[19:49] <Kruptein> WaltherFI: okay something I might make some day :p
[19:49] <goltoof> Kruptein:  you mean like project management?
[19:49] <WaltherFI> :P
[19:49] <Bogus8> mongy: it will read ntfs partitions... sometimes ones that windows won't read
[19:49] <sillykone> Oops.
[19:49] <Kruptein> goltoof: that's the name :p
[19:49] <sillykone> nothingspecial: I have speakers connected to the headphone jack (same thing?).  I'm not getting any sound.
[19:49] <mongy> Bogus8, I mean file systems that are damaged.
[19:49] <Bogus8> mongy: other than that I'd suggest something like UBCD for other utils to manipulate damaged systems
[19:50] <WaltherFI> steve_: try ctrl-alt-f1 or just esc when it is black

[19:50] <nikhilax> Hey i am running Gparted LIve Usb as my partition tables was destroyed it says that my 298 GB is unallocated. 298Gb is my complete hd.
[19:50] <nothingspecial> sillykone: I remember a similar thing, you will probably have to edit alsabase.conf
[19:50] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: ouch
[19:50] <nikhilax> Please help some body i have imp data? how to rescue it
[19:50] <nothingspecial> alsa-base.conf
[19:51] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: your partition table has been destroyed
[19:51] <KM0201> nikhilax: well, i'd say thats pretty well destroyed
[19:51] <bencahill> nikhilax: did you have data on the drive?
[19:51] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: the data might still be there
[19:51] <nikhilax> Yes i have imp data
[19:51] <nikhilax> Please tell any way to get all that back
[19:51] <bencahill> oohhh, ouch
[19:51] <KM0201> nikhilax: hope it was backed up....
[19:51] <bencahill> WaltherFI: how, if there are no partitions? o_o
[19:51] <steve_> WaltherFI, Ok, I'll give that a shot. Thank you! Hopefully that will work
[19:51] <nikhilax> need my data badly
[19:51] <WaltherFI> bencahill: partition table contains information about partitions
[19:51] <markskilbeck> Yo! Does anybody else notice that notifications appear lower down than they should?
[19:51] <nikhilax> waltherFI, help
[19:51] <KM0201> nikhilax: if it was that important, you should have had it backed up.
[19:52] <WaltherFI> bencahill: if the table brakes, the partitions might still be there
[19:52] <bencahill> nikhilax: what happened to delete the partitions/partition table?
[19:52] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: ooh wait...
[19:52] <hockebocke> bencahill: http://bit.ly/dNwpXS
[19:52] <xangua> markskilbeck: they shpuld appear lower down
[19:52] <xangua> should*
[19:52] <nikhilax> Partition is still there but its unallocated
[19:52] <bencahill> KM0201: two types of people, those who have lost data, and those who will lose data, nikhilax is now in the first category :)
[19:52] <goltoof> Kruptein:  some equivalent to ms project.. personally i use spreadsheets with the right formulas.. it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish
[19:52] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: unallocated means no partitions
[19:53] <nikhilax> bencahill, any way?
[19:53] <markskilbeck> xangua: nevermind - I didn't explain the issue very well. Gonna file a bug.
[19:53] <nikhilax> waltherFI, any option to recover?
[19:53] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: good instructions at here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery

[19:53] <xangua> markskilbeck: is not a but, is at it is
[19:53] <KM0201> bencahill: i guess so... glad i learned young.. :)
[19:53] <markskilbeck> "is at it is" makes no sense.
[19:53] <hockebocke> bencahill: any idea? installed many many ubuntu installations before, and I've never seen anything like this
[19:53] <bencahill> WaltherFI: ah, interesting, sort of like deleting a file only deletes it from the file allocation table (or whatever it's named)
[19:53] <bencahill> KM0201: an important lesson to learn :)
[19:53] <markskilbeck> xangua: you don't understand the issue so you cannot comment.
[19:53] <bencahill> hockebocke: one sec
[19:54] <markskilbeck> That's my fault for not explaining it well.
[19:54] <svm_invictvs> Nobody know anything about the widescreen monitor issues?
[19:54] <bencahill> nikhilax: nope, sorry :(
[19:54] <goltoof> what do i do to unlock the login screen settings, clicking unlock doesn't bring up the password box, as of now?
[19:54] <xangua> markskilbeck: then explaint it well
[19:54] <goltoof> is there no way to config my login settings from cli?
[19:55] <WaltherFI> bencahill: not actually - more of like you have a huge hall full of supplies and you erase your stock booklet and therefore don't know what's inside the hall
[19:55] <mac123> can someone point me to a guide on how to back up a new installation
[19:55] <WaltherFI> mac123: what do you mean
[19:55] <bencahill> WaltherFI: that's what i said/meant :-/
[19:56] <mac123> so once I get all of my normal stuff installed I can make a copy and just use that back up for a fresh install from now on?
[19:56] <bencahill> hockebocke: blech :D
[19:56] <svm_invictvs> Actually, are tehre any good guides for setting up dual monitors for Ubuntu 10.10?
[19:56] <bencahill> hockebocke: stock install?
[19:56] <WaltherFI> mac123: in case you have clean install, there is no reason to do backup for other than your personal data eg documents
[19:56] <bencahill> svm_invictvs: go to System > Preferences > Monitors
[19:56] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: nvidia/ati?
[19:57] <danipolo> howdy
[19:57] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: Newp
[19:57] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: it is very, very easy
[19:57] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: That's only showing 4:3 modes for a widescreen monitor.
[19:57] <bencahill> !details | svm_invictvs
[19:57] <nothingspecial> mac123: http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/
[19:57] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: Secondly, it's not detecting the dual setup.
[19:57] <mac123> not so much a back up as once i install all the extra packages that does not come with a new install
[19:57] <hockebocke> bencahill: very stock - although through alternative disc, since it's has a RevoDrive which requires LVM. But nothing else unusual.
[19:57] <goltoof> svm_invictvs: depending on your gpu, you'll use the default monitor configurator, or the vendor configurator
[19:57] <mac123> so that I dont have to bother re downloading and configuring it all over again
[19:57] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: hello there, i use dual setup
[19:57] <KM0201> svm_invictvs: which gpu?... i've got nvidia, and it's almost flawless
[19:57] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: nvidia or ati?
[19:58] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: I said that earlier, and nobody seemed to know the answer :-/
[19:58] <nothingspecial> mac123: That`s what remastersys does
[19:58] <bencahill> svm_invictvs: you probably need drivers (System > Administration > Additional Drivers), that will also give you the vendor's tool to use
[19:58] <danipolo> anyone ever dualboot ubuntu and opensuse?
[19:58] <mac123> remastersys?
[19:58] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: Yeah.  It's nVidia
[19:58] <WaltherFI> mac123: do you have anything on the computer?
[19:58] <nothingspecial> mac123: look at the link i put earlier
[19:58] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: nVidia
[19:58] <bencahill> hockebocke: i dunno, you might ask your question again with a link to that image (http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8471/uglytheme.png)
[19:58] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: then install Additional Drivers
[19:58] <svm_invictvs> Ah, cool, time to reboot
[19:59] <tlhiv_laptop> hi folks ... i'm not using ubuntu, but i've read several places about a program called "jkeys" which will allow you to map certain joystick buttons to keyboard keys ... does anyone know where i might be able to find this program?  i can't seem to find a download
[19:59] <mac123> not worried about personal files
[19:59] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: then, administration - Nvidia settings - monitors
[19:59] <bencahill> svm_invictvs: see ya :)
[19:59] <mac123> looking for a restore point to save installation time
[19:59] <svm_invictvs> Ah, I see.
[19:59] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: it is very self-evident then
[19:59] <mac123> che king link now
[19:59] <hockebocke> bencahill: once when I logged out and back again, the theme was right. But that doesnt work anymore
[19:59] <m1chael> i have an external USB hard drive NTFS .. i need to change permissions on the file system.. is this what i need to read to figure this out? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions -- is there an easier GUI/point/click way to do this?
[19:59] <WaltherFI> mac123: then there is no point making a restore point
[19:59] <WaltherFI> mac123: ubuntu does not quite need restore points
[19:59] <tlhiv_laptop> nevermind ... found it ;)
[19:59] <bencahill> m1chael: what do you mean "change permissions on the file system"?
[20:00] <hockebocke> Anyone know how come a fresh install of Ubuntu doesn't show the right theme? Screenshot here:  http://bit.ly/dNwpXS
[20:00] <mac123> its not a restore point
[20:00] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: sudo apt-get install light-themes
[20:00] <mac123> ok once you install the os you go and then install all the individual programs and supporting documents
[20:00] <bencahill> hockebocke: see? :D
[20:00] <mac123> i just want to make an image of the hd once I have all of that installed
[20:00] <m1chael> i need to change permissions on a dir
[20:00] <WaltherFI> mac123: there's no need
[20:01] <mac123> lol it saves me like 3 hours of extra installation
[20:01] <rumpe1> mac123, with btrfs you could do snapshots of your system
[20:01] <bencahill> m1chael: you do understand that ntfs doesn't support unix file permissions, right?
[20:01] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: really? why is that missing in ubuntu-desktop meta package?
[20:01] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: shouldn't be, but give it a try
[20:01] <rumpe1> mac123, but btrfs is still not the default-fs ... maybe in some years
[20:01] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: also, check your preferences - appearance
[20:01] <Pici> !aptoncd | mac123 this might be appropriate
[20:01] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: also, you seem to have the appearance problem when running as root- the update manager
[20:02] <mac123> thanks!  will look into all those options!
[20:02] <m1chael> bencahill; yes i understand that.. but someone said there is some kind of option i can turn on
[20:02] <nothingspecial> WaltherFI: remastersys will make a instalable cd of your current set up, so you install all the stuff you want, make a cd with remastersys and you can install your customised ubuntu, with all the extra packages, should you want to.
[20:02] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: so probably you should go to the appearance preferences as root to change how things are displayed to the root user
[20:02] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: the theme is there, since it once was correct when I logged out and then instantly back in again. But after a reboot it all when "old gnome standard theme" again. And logging out and in doesnt work anymore.
[20:02] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: sudo <what>?
[20:02] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: metacity --replace?
[20:02] <bencahill> m1chael: what exactly are you trying to do?
[20:03] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: try sudo metacity --replace and compiz --replace (if you use compiz)
[20:03] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: light-themes is installed, and ambience is already selected in the prefs.
[20:04] <frank> where does mplayer expect the codecs to be?
[20:04] <WaltherFI> frank: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras but check if that is legal in your country
[20:05] <WaltherFI> frank: that way you wouldn't have to worry about setting up the drivers
[20:05] <KM0201> lol, and if its not legal in your country, install it anyway
[20:05] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: Ctrl-C metacity made terminal window not taking focus, and now I can't start a window manager anymore :/
[20:05] <frank> WaltherFI: thanks but I need the folder where to put codecs. the ubuntu-restricted-extras doesnt cover the particular codec i want to use
[20:05] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: is there a way to start it from ctrl-alt-F2 console?
[20:05] <KM0201> frank: what type of file are you trying to play
[20:05] <BluesKaj> KM0201, political correctness at work there :)
[20:05] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: ctrl-alt-t brings you new terminal
[20:06] <KM0201> BluesKaj:  :)
[20:06] <m1chael> i am trying to serve files through apache that are on a usb drive
[20:06] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: also, try compiz --replace &
[20:06] <m1chael> and im getting a forbidden error
[20:06] <bencahill> !who | m1chael
[20:06] <WaltherFI> the & will make it keep running
[20:06] <frank> WaltherFI: http://nopaste.info/fc8e3a8895.html
[20:06] <WaltherFI> frank: hang on a second
[20:07] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: it didn't take focus, but in the plain terminal (ctrl-alt-f2) doing DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace did the trick
[20:07] <bencahill> m1chael: ntfs on a usb drive?
[20:07] <rusty149> m1chael: Check the file permissions for the files on the usb drive
[20:07] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: ok. do you have compiz running?
[20:07] <bencahill> rusty149: it's ntfs (re m1chael)
[20:07] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: you could try adding metacity or compiz replace to startup apps
[20:08] <WaltherFI> frank: what codec do you need?
[20:08] <frank> WaltherFI: I found out that http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20100303.tar.bz2 includes a wma9dmod.dll. Presumably the one I need. So I'm trying to find out where mplayer expects its codecs, so I can put it there. In the windows mplayer version there has been a folder called "codecs" in the mplayer dir where you just dumped the codecs and everything was fine
[20:08] <m1chael> rusty149: the file permissions are wrong, but i cannot change them because this drive is NTFS
[20:08] <m1chael> bencahill: yes, NTFS on a USB drive, don't know how that happened
[20:08] <rusty149> m1chael: You need to change it in the mount options.
[20:08] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: no, i gained control of my desktop. The theme is still very wrong :)
[20:08] <WaltherFI> frank: check /home/yourusername/.mplayer
[20:09] <rusty149> m1chael: I always use ntfs for my usb drives.
[20:09] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: do you have compiz running?
[20:09] <bencahill> m1chael: just curious :)
[20:09] <markskilbeck> xangua: this is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/664506
[20:09] <m1chael> rusty149: that is what im trying to figure out how to do, but i'm feeling lost on how to do this
[20:09] <markskilbeck> xangua: look at the screenshot
[20:09] <ner0x> Is that a way to make Banshee just show files rather than their own "LIbrary" ?
[20:09] <frank> WaltherFI: ~/.mplayer only holds an empty config where I can override default settings from /etc/mplayer/config
[20:09] <rusty149> m1chael: is it mounted using ftab, automatcally or manually?
[20:09] <m1chael> rusty149: automatically.. i just plug in the drive and it workks
[20:09] <WaltherFI> frank: don't know then...
[20:10] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: there is a little thing though; when changing to "Ambience" and then reopen the Apperance again, it says "Custom..."
[20:10] <xangua> markskilbeck: i already told you is not a but, is at it is; want to tweak notif-osd¿ try this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/patched-notifyosd-updates-option-to.html
[20:10] <xangua> is not a bug*
[20:10] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: well that's just some random... idk
[20:11] <markskilbeck> xangua: it absolutely is a bug.
[20:11] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: if you do any changes it goes to custom
[20:11] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: what is?
[20:11] <rusty149> m1chael: Ubuntu Server or Desktop?
[20:11] <m1chael> ubuntu desktop
[20:11] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: i was asking about notify-osd a moment ago, so iäm interested
[20:11] <markskilbeck> The Sound Applet's notification does NOT release its notification. Thereby preventing other notifications from appearing in the top-right.
[20:11] <danipolo> I installed ubuntu and opensuse on same box.  but my opensuse install overwrote /boot.  I need to restore it
[20:11] <nikhilax> how to get my partition table back, waltherFI. That was not helpful
[20:11] <markskilbeck> WaltherFI: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/57974399/notifyosdlow.png
[20:11] <danipolo> I already mount ubuntu inside of suse
[20:12] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: ahh, i talked about that
[20:12] <xangua> markskilbeck: is not, stop that; reclaim to mark shuttleworth
[20:12] <usuario_> aaa
[20:12] <danipolo> so now I just need some help on how to restore /boot
[20:12] <markskilbeck> xangua: stop it with your broken English.
[20:12] <Wicked> hello all. lost power due to a snow storm and trying to reboot my ubuntu server now and its checking the filesystesm(to be expected)...but it has not output any info in the last 5-10 mins and im worried it has stalled out or something. the last couple ines are: /dev/sdX clean blah blah blah <new line> /dev/sdbX blah blah files (6.0% contguous) <new line> init: ureadahead-other main process (XXXX) terminated with status 4
[20:12] <markskilbeck> WaltherFI: you see it too?
[20:12] <WaltherFI> all notifications shuld be at the same level
[20:12] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: yeah, some notifications are displayed higher and some lower
[20:13] <Wicked> seems like its taking a long time to do the checks without any output. would have nice if it was more verbose
[20:13] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: they should be on top, and if simultaneous notifications are present then they should make way and go lower
[20:13] <nikhilax> how to get my partition tables back? please help? my partition tables accidently deleted
[20:13] <bencahill> Wicked: i don't know about the verbosity, but i've had some disk checks take as long as 15-20, maybe 30 minutes
[20:13] <xangua> markskilbeck: not everyone here speaks english as it's native language
[20:14] <bencahill> xangua: we know :)
[20:14] <rusty149> m1chael: I would turn off automount and set to mount using fstab.
[20:14] <rabies> anyone know why i would be getting ^? when pressing backspace in vim? im sshing into a ubuntu machine
[20:14] <rusty149> m1chael: Then you can specify permissions
[20:14] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: i'm sorry but i can't be much of a help with that issue - but certainly do not write anything to that disk
[20:14] <m1chael> rusty149: okay thanks bud
[20:14] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: you should probably search the forums, i think there are good threads about it too
[20:14] <bencahill> rabies: are you using backspace in insert mode?
[20:14] <rabies> i want backspace to type ^h in vim
[20:15] <rabies> bencahill: ya, i am
[20:15] <danipolo> Its not my intetion to spam, but around to help me with missing /boot directory :) ?
[20:15] <nikhilax> waltherFI, Thanks ..
[20:15] <nikhilax> Any one else can help me with this?
[20:15] <danipolo> s/but around/but is anyone around/
[20:15] <bencahill> rabies: no reason to, just hit esc (to exit insert mode) and use del
[20:15] <nikhilax> partition tables?
[20:15] <Eren> there was a GTK program which is capable of streaming last.fm songs. However, it first downloaded a few songs, and started playing
[20:15] <rusty149> m1chael: Also , use the UUID as the device name. because it is likely to change as a usb drive
[20:15] <rabies> bencahill: can you tell me how to enable it so i can use backspace in insert mode?
[20:15] <Eren> does anyone remember the name of it?
[20:15] <bencahill> !ot | nikhilax
[20:15] <danipolo> I installed opensuse and accidentally overwrote /boot
[20:16] <KM0201> danielck: so what, now you can boot opensuse, but not ubuntu?
[20:16] <bencahill> rabies: a quick google brought up this: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Erasing_previously_entered_characters_in_insert_mode
[20:16] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: FOUND IT!! It's the gnome-settings-daemon hanging! After restarting it, it all went "ambience" !!
[20:16] <m1chael> rusty149: okay
[20:16] <WaltherFI> danipolo: boot from ubuntu livecd and run grub-install /dev/yourHDD
[20:16] <nikhilax> ubottu, i am asking ubuntu related as by using ubuntu my tables crashed;
[20:16] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: ah..
[20:16] <danipolo> ok, thanks!
[20:16] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: daemons can be devilish occasionally
[20:16] <bencahill> nikhilax: how did ubuntu delete your partition table? :-/
[20:16] <WaltherFI> pun intended
[20:17] <bencahill> hockebocke: LOL!
[20:17] <KM0201> bencahill: i bet it starts off with "well, i wasn't paying attention..."
[20:17] <nikhilax> bencahill, testdisk
[20:17] <rusty149> danipolo: Have you tried, reinstalling grub?
[20:17] <WaltherFI> bencahill: probably not ubuntu, just a hw fail or poweroff
[20:17] <circust> alguien que me diga algun progrma
[20:17] <circust> a
[20:17] <rabies> bencahill: by default the backspace key "works" but its sending ^? not whatever vim needs to delete a character
[20:17] <circust> para crear dvds
[20:17] <circust> con menu
[20:17] <circust> y todo eso porfa
[20:17] <KM0201> nikhilax: test disk doesn't delete partitions...
[20:17] <FloodBot3> circust: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:17] <bencahill> rabies: did you try what the link said?
[20:17] <Laibsch> Anybody have an idea what I should do to get myself out of bug 701961?
[20:17] <bencahill> WaltherFI: right
[20:17] <nikhilax> KM0201, it can
[20:17] <rabies> bencahill: yes..
[20:18] <jpmonette> my laptop HD is now at 52 celcius
[20:18] <bencahill> rabies: and it didn't work?
[20:18] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: but since this is not my machine, I'm a bit worried it will happen later too... googling on it aws
[20:18] <KM0201> nikhilax: so i guess it goes back to my "i wasn't paying attention..." thought.
[20:18] <rabies> anyone else know how to make it so backspace deletes a character in insert mode instead of printing ^?
[20:18] <jpmonette> I read the Wiki to fix the temp, but it doesn't work =/
[20:18] <Wicked> bencahill  ah ok
[20:18] <nikhilax> Km0201 can u help me with recovering partition tables?
[20:18] <rabies> rabies: well it did exactly what it was supposed to, but backspace is still bound to send the wrong thing
[20:18] <Laibsch> jpmonette: that's nothing to worry about
[20:18] <bencahill> rabies: in #vim they'll know that better
[20:18] <bencahill> rabies: talking to yourself? :)
[20:18] <jpmonette> Laibsch, I burn my hands when I touch my laptop
[20:18] <KM0201> nikhilax: no.. i think you've likely learned a valuable lesson today... but the instructions on that link are fairly clear
[20:18] <jpmonette> I can't put it on my laps since it's too hot
[20:19] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: my computer/hd did that once, and my cousin recovered some of the data
[20:19] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: but i still had to install it completely clean from beginning
[20:19] <Laibsch> jpmonette: I suppose that the CPU is more to blame than the HD
[20:19] <clayd> can some one point me inthe direct for a driver for a xerox 7120 printer?
[20:19] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: losing partition tables is not a small thing
[20:19] <rabies> bencahill: whatever, i fixed it
[20:19] <Laibsch> clayd: linuxprinting.org (and maybe google)
[20:19] <bencahill> jpmonette: have you cleaned it out?
[20:19] <nikhilax> KM0201 yes. i am not using gparted to see it shows all disk unallocated
[20:19] <nikhilax> so how can i reconverr the data?
[20:19] <rabies> bencahill: im adept at using google though =P
[20:20] <jpmonette> cleaned inside bencahill ?
[20:20] <Vhozard> How can I run wine as root?
[20:20] <WaltherFI> clayd: should work out of the box?
[20:20] <rabies> geeze
[20:20] <bencahill> rabies: goody :)
[20:20] <KM0201> nikhilax: thus my point... it all depends on how it became unallocated, as to whether your data is there or not.
[20:20] <bencahill> jpmonette: yes

[20:20] <rabies> bencahill: you are very unhelpful!
[20:20] <Vhozard> And please don't give me the "never run wine as root" bullcrap.
[20:20] <clayd> thanks  google isnt giving me much.  Walther?  How is that?
[20:20] <bencahill> rabies: lol, i pointed you to #vim!
[20:20] <rabies> bencahill: pfft
[20:20] <Laibsch> clayd: linuxprinting.org
[20:20] <Laibsch> has a database

[20:21] <bencahill> jpmonette: that's just the hdd's smart data
[20:21] <bencahill> KM0201: give it up :)
[20:21] <KM0201> nikhilax: have you ried that link you were given earlier on daa recovery?
[20:21] <clayd> the workcentre 7120 is not listed
[20:22] <WaltherFI> clayd: then pick the generic and try printing
[20:22] <clayd> will give it a try
[20:22] <KM0201> bencahill: he needs to embrace the horror, he acts like someone here is gonna wave a wand over his machine, and restore his data, and the chances of that is very very slim.
[20:22] <nikhilax> yes i tried that help.ubuntu/datarecovery
[20:22] <KM0201> nikhilax: how did you "try it".. you were just given that link like 15min ago...
[20:22] <bencahill> KM0201: yes, that is how many seem to think :)
[20:22] <edwardo> whats the command to list the channels in the server/

[20:23] <bencahill> edwardo: http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/chanlist//
[20:23] <KM0201> nikhilax: if you followd those instructions, you should have a partition table now.
[20:23] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: recovering data from failed drive is exhausting
[20:23] <WaltherFI> KM0201: unless HW fail

[20:24] <jonf> hi, I am having a problem creating a bootable Ubuntu USB stick on OSX using the install instructions
[20:25] <crush3r> How do I get the onscreen keyboard to work in Ubuntu 10 Netbook Edition? I have it installed on a tablet PC.
[20:25] <gobbe> jonf, are you trying to boot it with mac or pc
[20:25] <nikhilax> i did accoding upto i understand but you guys are saying it should take more time so i must be missing something
[20:25] <KM0201> nikhilax: you seem to want someone to do this for you, and somebody would be crazy to do that, becuase if your data is lost, you're going to blame them.. .read that link, COMPLETELY.. and do what it says
[20:25] <jonf> hdiutil convert does not seem to be converting - the output file has the same md5sum as the input file
[20:25] <jonf> trying to boot it on a pc
[20:25] <WaltherFI> crush3r: ow, i'm sorry to say but it is very alpha / beta stage
[20:25] <gobbe> jonf, instructions are for mac
[20:25] <crush3r> Ah, so no onscreen keyboard yet?
[20:25] <clayd> WaltherFi  thanks that got me closer.  Now to figure out color
[20:25] <nikhilax> km0201, how much time sudo gpart /dev/sda usually take to respond?

[20:26] <kyle1> anyone attached a lexmark printer to ubuntu 10.4 ??
[20:26] <WaltherFI> clayd: hm?
[20:26] <jonf> ok, gotcha
[20:26] <KM0201> nikhilax: it can take a while, but your'e supposed to do that from an ubuntu remix rescue disk... not an ubuntu live cd... did you read any of that?
[20:26] <tis> does anyone have experience with getting iphone to work with 10.04?
[20:26] <KM0201> ah wait, envermind, you can use an ubuntu cd, it has most of the tools you need
[20:26] <clayd> any sugestions on the generic model to pick.  I went with PCL 6
[20:27] <WaltherFI> tis: there are very good tutorials at ubuntu documentations
[20:27] <tis> i have probably read them all

[20:27] <tis> pretty much everything i've read has told me that it SHOULD work out of the box, and yet it doesn't.
[20:27] <KM0201> rusty149: that seems to have caused his problem(according to him)
[20:27] <WaltherFI> tis: your problem is?

[20:29] <WaltherFI> edwardo: esily
[20:29] <edwardo> how do i add accounts?
[20:29] <bencahill> So, is there some way I could remotely emulate keyboard input?
[20:29] <WaltherFI> edwardo: preferences - add
[20:29] <meway> bencahill: its related. I forgot to mention on ubuntu server. but if it makes anyone feel better pm me about the matter if you have an appropriate answer.
[20:29] <bencahill> alaing: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf i think, or something like that
[20:29] <edwardo> thank you got it
[20:29] <tis> so no one has experience with this issue?
[20:30] <WaltherFI> edwardo: i've had three active mailboxes on evolution for 2 years, works fantastically
[20:30] <WaltherFI> tis: no, for the iPhone of my friend it worked flawlessy
[20:30] <bencahill> meway: how is it related to ubuntu? because the web server is running ubuntu?
[20:30] <WaltherFI> tis: jailbreaked or not?
[20:30] <clayd> ha ha.  I go my color.  Printer options had set default to grayscale :)
[20:30] <Linden940> Hello i am using evolution an it use 2 save a copy of the sent e-mail on the server but it stopped doing so...anyone know how to fix it?

[20:30] <tis> not jailbroken, but apparently that shouldn't matter?

[20:31] <brontoeee> Vhozard, easy way is thunar
[20:31] <edwardo> evolution doesnt seem to like my school email address it cant find the server
[20:31] <WaltherFI> clayd: yep. And remember, ubuntu very rarely needs any drivers to be isntalled
[20:31] <bencahill> meway: still not related to ubuntu
[20:31] <Vhozard> just installed thunar
[20:31] <Linden940> Hello i am using evolution an it use 2 save a copy of the sent e-mail on the server but it stopped doing so...anyone know how to fix it?\
[20:31] <nothingspecial> bencahill: I don`t understand?????
[20:31] <yeats> Vhozard: if you want a GUI program, try pyrenamer
[20:31] <WaltherFI> edwardo: remember to ad the correct port
[20:31] <clayd> that is good to know.  Thanks a ton WaltherFI
[20:31] <meway> bencahill: no need to troll around ^_^
[20:32] <WaltherFI> edwardo: like mail.domain.com:993 or so
[20:32] <bencahill> nothingspecial: :P
[20:32] <bencahill> nothingspecial: either that, or something like starting the program with expect, and feeding strokes to it from that...
[20:32] <WaltherFI> clayd: youä
[20:32] <WaltherFI> clayd: you're welcome
[20:32] <Linden940> Hello i am using evolution an it use 2 save a copy of the sent e-mail on the server but it stopped doing so...anyone know how to fix it?
[20:32] <kervan>  I just installed ubuntu and I want to use it but I'm an old debian user. is there a way to set users like debian? I mean may I get a root user?
[20:32] <Vhozard> I have install thunar
[20:32] <Vhozard> and now?
[20:32] <Pici> !sudo  | kervan
[20:32] <tis> alright then
[20:32] <tis> cheers
[20:32] <jason_fn> guys, how do i enable swapon partion with swapon?
[20:32] <WaltherFI> kervan: you shouldn't need a root user
[20:32] <bencahill> nothingspecial: it's the picture frame install (i talked alot about it before xmas) and the program fbi, it uses keystrokes for certain functions, and i'd like to be able to control it remotely
[20:32] <jason_fn> what is exact command?
[20:32] <WaltherFI> kervan: in case you need, use sudo su
[20:33] <Pici> WaltherFI, kervan: sudo su is redundant, use sudo -s, (or sudo -i)
[20:33] <Linden940> Hello i am using evolution an it use 2 save a copy of the sent e-mail on the server but it stopped doing so...anyone know how to fix it?
[20:33] <brontoeee> Vhozard, hold on...
[20:33] <aeon-ltd> jason_fn: sudo swapon -a
[20:33] <WaltherFI> Linden940: is it changed to POP3?
[20:33] <Mahjongg> how do you turn off the encrypted home directory feature, turned on for a specific user?>
[20:33] <WaltherFI> Linden940: check it is an IMAP folder
[20:33] <Linden940> no its IMAP
[20:34] <kervan> WaltherFI: I want to share my own passowrd with each others but I don't want let them change system settings. Do you have a idea about this?
[20:34] <WaltherFI> check your sening options
[20:34] <brontoeee> Vhozard, select files, rmb rename, set your rules...ect
[20:34] <Linden940> it use 2 save a copy of sent e-mails online...now it stoped doing so
[20:34] <jason_fn> aeon-ltd, thanks, but i need i first enlist the partition in fstab?
[20:34] <Vhozard> oh fuck
[20:34] <bencahill> !who | Linden940
[20:34] <Pici> Vhozard: Please mind your language.
[20:34] <alaing> when i open my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf its empty is that normal
[20:34] <Vhozard> I have like 100 folders
[20:34] <Vhozard> I cant open up each folder
[20:34] <nothingspecial> bencahill: Through a ssh session?
[20:34] <WaltherFI> kervan: hmm... you should remove yourself from sudoers list, which would be stupid too
[20:34] <yeats> kervan: if you create other users, they do not have system permissions by default
[20:35] <Vhozard> Ill try pyrenamer now then
[20:35] <bencahill> alaing: is it empty or non-existent?
[20:35] <kyle1> what ubuntu ver is kamic?
[20:35] <rusty149> Vhozard: what do you want to do with 100 files?
[20:35] <bencahill> nothingspecial: that would be fine
[20:35] <kyle1> what ubuntu ver is karmic?
[20:35] <Pici> kyle1: 9.10
[20:35] <yeats> !9.10 | kyle1
[20:35] <brontoeee> kyle1, 9.10?
[20:35] <rusty149> Vhozard: *folders
[20:35] <kyle1> what 10.4
[20:35] <Vhozard> I have 100 folder with 20 files in them
[20:35] <bencahill> whoa!
[20:35] <Vhozard> I want to rename them
[20:35] <kervan> But I have a lot of friends that uses my computer
[20:35] <bencahill> !10.4 | kylel
[20:36] <bencahill> LOL!
[20:36] <WaltherFI> kervan: guest user
[20:36] <kervan>  I need a solution like Debian is this possible by changing something?
[20:36] <nothingspecial> bencahill: The easiest way would be to use byobu, but there is a way through ssh, give me a minute
[20:36] <Vhozard> Bulk Rename Utility is great, but it gives an Write error on this specific folder...
[20:36] <rusty149> Vhozard: 20 in each folder
[20:36] <kyle1> Pici: hello pici
[20:36] <aeon-ltd> jason_fn: i presume so, since you'l need it mounted at boot
[20:36] <Linden940> WaltherFI, its IMAP not POP3...it use 2 save a copy on the server but it stoped doing so...I would like it to do so..so when I am not at desktop an sign into mail online I can view sent folder
[20:36] <Vhozard> alot of files in alot of folders, yes
[20:36] <yeats> kyle1: see here for info on all releases: http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[20:36] <kyle1> no whats the name of 10.4
[20:37] <Pici> kyle1: take a look at yeats's link.
[20:37] <WaltherFI> Linden940: check your sending settings
[20:37] <bencahill> nothingspecial: that's cool, but could I do that through ssh/remotely?
[20:37] <WaltherFI> Linden940: there should be a tickbox with save sent on server iirc
[20:37] <kyle1> ta
[20:37] <bencahill> kyle1: lucid lynx
[20:37] <WaltherFI> !10.04 | kyle1
[20:37] <jason_fn> aeon-ltd, thanks a lot. just installed ubuntu without swap. works fine but anyway.
[20:38] <alaing> it exists but is empty when i open it
[20:38] <Linden940> WaltherFI, I am using evolution  an there is no check box for save sent on server
[20:38] <Tekk_> how do I install a package without it's dependencies? sudo apt-get install --no-deps foo isn't working
[20:38] <kyle1> what driver doi i doenload for 10.4 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkPrinters?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=lexmark.z600-0.4.deb
[20:38] <bencahill> alaing: if you need help with apache, #httpd would probably be better
[20:38] <Pici> Tekk_: You don't.  Thats the point of dependencies.
[20:39] <bencahill> Tekk_: why?
[20:39] <Tekk_> Pici: however there are cases(like virtual packages) where you need to install without deps ;)
[20:39] <WaltherFI> Linden940: hm, if you're sending through correct smtp, it should work
[20:39] <Tekk_> bencahill: installing a package that depends on virtual packages that aren't needed(just artwork and stuff that it should take from my theme)
[20:39] <Linden940> WaltherFI, it will send the e-mail but it wont save it to the online sent folder...
[20:39] <Tekk_> bencahill: so I already installed all the real deps, leaving just them ;)
[20:40] <WaltherFI> Linden940: that is not evolution's fault then
[20:40] <WaltherFI> Linden940: check your webmail settings, there might be something
[20:40] <rusty149> Tekk_: I think you can use the download option.
[20:40] <yeats> Tekk_: apt-get won't work that way... you can download a .deb and use 'dpkg -i' (at your own risk)
[20:40] <Tekk_> alright
[20:40] <ben225> anyone know a good screencasting tool in ubuntu?
[20:40] <Linden940> WaltherFI, i will look again but I had checked over that like 3 times now give me a few to check
[20:40] <Pici> !screencast | ben225 a bunch
[20:41] <ben225> awesome, any prefs?
[20:41] <Mahjongg> how do you turn off the encrypted home directory feature, turned on for a specific user?
[20:41] <yeats> Tekk_: of course, dpkg also checks for dependencies/conflicts, but not like APT
[20:41] <ben225> thanks ubottu, & Pici
[20:42] <WaltherFI> Linden940: if evolution sends the mails through SMTP and it gets delivered, it is for evolution to decide whether the copy gets saved
[20:42] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: hard to do
[20:42] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: do you have separate partition for /home?
[20:42] <svm_invictvs> How do I actually enable the "nvidia" driver in my Xorg.conf.
[20:42] <Linden940> WaltherFI, where would I find the setting that would save the copy online?
[20:42] <svm_invictvs> I don't actually see an xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[20:43] <Mahjongg> WaltherFI, yes
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Linden940: probably at your webmail, as the webmail clients are usually on the actual server
[20:43] <svm_invictvs> I seem to recall Ubuntu moved things over to /usr/share/X11/conf
[20:43] <svm_invictvs> BUt, I see nothing about the driver in any of those files.  Can somebody explain a little more?
[20:43] <nothingspecial> bencahill: What is your ultimate goal? Are both these boxes on your lan? Does the remote box have a keyboard?
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: then take a livecd, install ubuntu again, have /home as separate and do not format it
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: and add same login info, user names etc
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: and don't check the encrypt box
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: same password also, it decrypts it then
[20:44] <shiv> what is the mount path for iphone. I can browse everything on the desktop. Where does it mount?
[20:44] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: it was the easiest way for me at least
[20:44]  * KM0201 has never put home on its own partition
[20:44] <WaltherFI> shiv: /media/ or /mnt/
[20:44] <WaltherFI> KM0201: it has turned out to be very useful
[20:44] <bastidrazor> shiv: dmesg will tell you also mount or even df -h
[20:44] <Um_cara_Qualquer> excuse me, I saw this mouse theme and tried to install it, but it doesn't stay with the theme when it's not on firefox or any aplications... anyone knows how can I fix it?
[20:44] <Mahjongg> WaltherFI, wow, really that hard?
[20:44] <WaltherFI> KM0201: clean installs without removing personal stugg
[20:44] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: that was the easiest i know of
[20:44] <Mahjongg> WaltherFI, thanks
[20:45] <Andycas> how do i move direcotry one level down? like "mv /dir/dir2 ../"
[20:45] <KM0201> WaltherFI: just seems to much trouble than its wortht o me... i can reconfigure my PC in about 5-10min after a clean install, i just go through, uninstall what i don't want, install what i want, then i have a "configuration file".. that i've noted all changes to my normally used software on, and i just roll through and do it all at once
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> Andycas: go into a folder than is actually one level down?
[20:46] <bastidrazor> Andycas: you would need to NOT be in the directory to be moved.  mv /path/to/dir /new/path
[20:46] <WaltherFI> KM0201: should do that too, but i have too much stuff saved on /home (documents, images (photography))
[20:46] <shiv> WaltherFI, bastidrazor its not their but I can browse it fine. I want to ftp stuff from iphone to my server and I cannot figure out the path where iphone is mounted :( /mnt and /media are empty
[20:46] <bastidrazor> Andycas: or be one down for dir.. mv dir .
[20:46] <Andycas> bastidrazor, I want to use relative path
[20:46] <KM0201> WaltherFI: yeah, i don't keep much in my home... i keep it all on a separate partition, that doesn't get touched at all when i reinstall
[20:47] <WaltherFI> KM0201: well then you have the same situation, almost
[20:47] <KM0201> WaltherFI: sort of, except i do have to go through and reconfigure my softeare
[20:48] <WaltherFI> KM0201: well, two days ago i purged all .folders in home except evolution and wine
[20:48] <WaltherFI> KM0201: my computer had become slow, can you believe it
[20:48] <KM0201> hmm
[20:48] <bencahill> nothingspecial: sry, afk for a minute...yes, these are both on the lan and (mostly) on 24/7. One is being used as a diy digital picture frame (old laptop) that is hung on the wall, and has no keyboard attached to it
[20:48] <KM0201> lol
[20:50] <bencahill> nothingspecial: ...I would like to be able to control the picture frame from another computer if I want to pause on a picture, or go back, I already have methods implemented for adding new pictures and restarting the slideshow, but it would be nice to be able to control fbi itself
[20:50] <nothingspecial> bencahill: Ah, I do that a completely different way, but it requires X, not a full DE, just X and openbox or something. Interested, or not possible?
[20:50] <bencahill> KM0201: was the lol at me? :)
[20:51] <KM0201> bencahill: no... something someone else said.
[20:51] <bencahill> KM0201: ah ok :)
[20:51] <KM0201> i think i accidentally put it here as opposed to somewhere else
[20:51] <bencahill> nothingspecial: really would rather not have to install x/wm, as it works great as it is, just can't control it :)
[20:52] <watermlei> Hello. I have just installed Ubuntu. I was going to install on an old machine, so I burnt an i386 version of Ubuntu, but ended up installing on a new machine which has over 4GB of memory. This slipped my mind until just now. Is there an easy way to upgrade to x86-64?
[20:52] <nothingspecial> bencahill: Give me a minute or 5, I`ll paste bin everything I know, or can think of????
[20:53] <WaltherFI> watermlei: no
[20:53] <bencahill> nothingspecial: ok, thanks :)
[20:53] <WaltherFI> watermlei: sorry to say, but changing to different _platform_ is impossible without clean install
[20:54] <kyle1> join vbox
[20:54] <kyle1> oops
[20:54] <bencahill> kyle1: /join #vbox
[20:54] <kyle1> yeh yeh ! i thought someone would pick up quick !
[20:54] <bencahill> kyle1: :)
[20:54] <kyle1> benahill: you that quick in bed ;)
[20:55] <Gnea> !language | kyle1
[20:55] <bencahill> kyle1: 2:54pm here, and ot
[20:55] <brontoeee>     would gparted resize fat32 partition?
[20:55] <aeon-ltd> brontoeee: should do
[20:55] <bencahill> Gnea: nice one, I thought he was talking about current time of day
[20:55] <bencahill> s/one/catch/
[20:56] <kyle1> oops again, seems there are quicker people than you. lol. Finished now..
[20:56] <cdubya> anyone had trouble with audio on skype 2.1 beta and 10.04?
[20:56] <bencahill> kyle1: np :)
[20:56] <WaltherFI> brontoeee: gparted resize has been depleted
[20:56] <svm_invictvs> Ugh
[20:56] <watermlei> WaltherFI: Why? that's a bummer.
[20:56] <svm_invictvs> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Recommended step for Ubuntu 10.10
[20:56] <WaltherFI> watermlei: dunno, probably because it was _very_ unstable
[20:56] <svm_invictvs> Following that guide, it is telling me there is a "Software Sources" application under Administration.
[20:56] <brontoeee> walmis, deplteted? is that a word?
[20:57] <svm_invictvs> Where is it?
[20:57] <svm_invictvs> I do not have that installed.  How do I install it?
[20:57] <WaltherFI> brontoeee: depleted, removed functionality
[20:57] <watermlei> I'm almost tempted just to install Arch from the get-go. Last time I wanted to do something a bit unusual during install I was told that it was also impossible with Ubuntu's tools
[20:58] <WaltherFI> watermlei: yeah the gparted resize was cool
[20:58] <watermlei> Can I launch the installer from a chroot?
[20:58] <WaltherFI> watermlei: however, it lead to my partition table go mad once
[20:58] <WaltherFI> watermlei: yes
[20:58] <brontoeee> WaltherFI, i am just resizing fat32 and making a new ntfs one, so ..., ??
[20:58] <ejv> watermlei: you can compile a 32bit kernel with high memory support, instead of overhauling
[20:59] <WaltherFI> brontoeee: you can delete the fat32 and make two smaller partitions from it
[20:59] <WaltherFI> brontoeee: but no more resizing with keeping the data
[20:59] <svm_invictvs> What is the applicaion that manages the 'SOftware Sources' called?
[20:59] <watermlei> ejv: I think I'd rather use a straight x64 install than do a custom kernel here, it's a client machine that I won't be using much and needs to be easy to maintain
[20:59] <svm_invictvs> Does anybody know?
[20:59] <brontoeee> WaltherFI, uhm, iam saying its just doing it, but i may not do it nicely
[21:00] <watermlei> Thanks for the suggestion though. I will probably just overwrite the OS with 64-bit on Friday when I come in to remove the old server
[21:00] <prakriti> in the file browser, what is the shortcut bar on the right hand side called?  the one that lets you click desktop or computer or home
[21:00] <casmo> Hello, running Ubuntu 10.10 and installed Apache, PHP and MySQL, even got the rewrite.load and stuff isntalled but mod_rewrite in Apache won't work, anyone an idea?
[21:00] <ejv> watermlei: it's just a slight modification, it won't destroy the installation and you can always fall back if you mess up
[21:00] <milamber> svm_invictvs: i'm pretty sure it is: software-sources
[21:01] <WaltherFI> casmo: checked the mod_rewrite functions?
[21:01] <guntbert> svm_invictvs: gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
[21:01] <WaltherFI> casmo: writing .htaccess is a hell
[21:01] <milamber> svm_invictvs: software-center*
[21:01] <casmo> You mean <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine On</IfModule> in the configs?
[21:01] <WaltherFI> casmo: no, but the actual rewrite commands you have in for example .htaccess file
[21:01] <Nach0z> Hey i've got kind of an unusual issue, my SSH terminal for a specific user isn't giving me any of the colors that it used to. All of the other users have colors for each file when I do ls, but this one user just has normal black and white text. How do I fix this?
[21:01] <casmo> The strange thing is, when i ask for all installed Modules in Apache, mod_rewrite doesn't show up\
[21:02] <WaltherFI> hmm
[21:02] <casmo> Yeah, its from the CakePHP Framework, and im pretty sure it worked on my previous machine
[21:02] <WaltherFI> mod_rewrite is important, and pure art can be done with that to webistes...
[21:02] <inashdeen> hi
[21:03] <inashdeen> need to ask bout something
[21:03] <inashdeen> it is about ubuntu, i had been using ub for 3 yrs
[21:03] <inashdeen> the problem is, ubuntu have great major problem with usb modem, i mean, sometimes it connect
[21:03] <guntbert> !enter | inashdeen
[21:04] <inashdeen> n many time it just wont connect that u need to restart again n again and again. so can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue
[21:04] <janisozaur> how can I 'duplicate' /dev/tty* serial device, so that I could attach two separate process that would be able to read the same data simultaneously (ie. without 'stealing' the data from each other)?
[21:04] <WaltherFI> janisozaur: cat
[21:05] <brontoeee> casmo, development machine or prod. server?
[21:05] <WaltherFI> janisozaur: cat reads the contents realtime
[21:05] <tuna-fish> Hi, I have an ubuntu server and an ubuntu client, which both have a gbit ethernet controller, but the real transfer speed seems to be 100Mbit. how would I start to debug this?
[21:05] <nothingspecial> bencahill:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/553338/
[21:05] <gobbe> tuna-fish: how did you measure this?
[21:05] <induz> i am looking for calender as it is on MS office
[21:06] <induz> I am using karmic
[21:06] <casmo> My previous Machine was just windows with Apache etc. Btw, when I do a phpinfo(); i see that mod_rewrite is in the Loaded Modules... Strange
[21:06] <WaltherFI> tuna-fish: router?
[21:06] <induz> calender to keep appointments/interviews
[21:06] <inashdeen> anyone
[21:06] <WaltherFI> tuna-fish: also, check ifconfig -a
[21:06] <eoss> how i copy and paste in ubuntu
[21:06] <janisozaur> WaltherFI, yes, but it also removes it from the device. once a one instance of cat reads the data, no other instance of cat can read the very same data the first instance just read
[21:06] <eoss> shortcuts
[21:06] <WaltherFI> induz: evolution mail
[21:06] <tuna-fish> gobbe: file transfer
[21:06] <WaltherFI> induz: it can use google calendar etc
[21:07] <guntbert> eoss: ctrl+c, ctrl+v
[21:07] <janisozaur> eoss, ^C, ^V
[21:07] <st> eoss, ctrl+CV or ctrl/shift+ins
[21:07] <tuna-fish> waltherFI: the ubuntu server is acting as a router
[21:07] <induz> WaltherFI, google has that??
[21:07] <gobbe> tuna-fish: and what does it say for speed?
[21:07] <eoss> ctr C ctrl v doesnt work
[21:07] <st> eoss, also you can copy current text selection by middle-clicking
[21:07] <casmo> brontoeee: I think there is somewhere rewriteEngine Off or override deny, but can't find where
[21:07] <svm_invictvs> Okay....
[21:07] <svm_invictvs> so
[21:07] <guntbert> eoss: in the terminal?
[21:07] <eoss> yea
[21:07] <eoss> and in emacs
[21:07] <svm_invictvs> Where is the master configuration for Xorg?
[21:07] <WaltherFI> induz: google has an email/calendar, and evolution (the default email/calendar client on ubuntu) is cabable of doing that
[21:07] <gobbe> tuna-fish: 1000mbit/s is 125MB/s, about
[21:07] <janisozaur> eoss, that's the way you copy things. perhaps you try to copy to a location you don't have write access to?
[21:08] <tuna-fish> gobbe: 122MB/s
[21:08] <guntbert> eoss: shift+ctrl+c,....
[21:08] <svm_invictvs> There's little snippets in /usr/share/X11/conf (which is inconsistent with the documentation but whatever)
[21:08] <gobbe> tuna-fish: well, that's full speed
[21:08] <svm_invictvs> But, where do I go to configure the nvidia drivers?
[21:08] <gobbe> tuna-fish: 1000mbit cannot transfer more than 125 MB/s
[21:08] <induz> I dont have any SMTP/po3 acc so i dont use email client for ubuntu
[21:08] <svm_invictvs> Where is the actual display drier confifigured?
[21:08] <tuna-fish> wait, sorry
[21:08] <eoss> nope none of that works i am forced to right clicking everything
[21:08] <tuna-fish> 12.2MB/s
[21:08] <induz> i do have gmail account though
[21:08] <kosmarnik> python-setuptools is giving me trouble:  easy_install --prefix /usr/local pyrocore gets me an error message: TEST FAILED: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages does NOT support .pth files error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH... running this under root
[21:08] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: system - administration - nvidia xserver settings
[21:08] <svm_invictvs> Does *anybody* actually know this?
[21:08] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: full gui
[21:08] <tuna-fish> gobbe: missed the dot
[21:08] <kosmarnik> IDK what should I use for PYTHONPATH, or how to set it. meh easyInstall fail
[21:08] <tuna-fish> gobbe: it was 12.2MB/s
[21:08] <gobbe> tuna-fish: ok. well, is it point to point connection or thru switch?
[21:09] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: Okay....except for the fact that that tool complains about not having the actual driver installed
[21:09] <tuna-fish> gobbe: point to point
[21:09] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: which driver did you install and how?
[21:09] <gobbe> tuna-fish: and link is gigabit?
[21:09] <tuna-fish> gobbe: there appears to be two tx lights on the server ethernet card, one for 10/100 and one for 1000gbit, only the 10/100 is on
[21:10] <milamber> eoss: basic emacs: http://www.med.nyu.edu/rcr/rcr/course/unix8.html   if you are having trouble w/ emacs, try nano
[21:10] <gobbe> tuna-fish: well, it's 100 mbit for somereason
[21:10] <tuna-fish> gobbe: how can I find out? all the hardware should be gigabit capable
[21:10] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: Um....the latset from the Ubuntu SOftware Center
[21:10] <geekbri> does anybody know where ubunut stores sources when you do an apt-get sources install ?
[21:10] <gobbe> tuna-fish: put sudo /sbin/ifconfig -a to pastebin.ubuntu.com
[21:10] <eoss> so copy and paste isnt system based? it depends on the prog im using
[21:10] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: er, delete that, logout login, then go System - Administartion - Restricted divers ans select recommended
[21:11] <janisozaur> geekbri, I am not sure if that's what you want, but check /var/cache/apt/archives/
[21:11] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: then logout login and again to the settings
[21:11] <geekbri> janisozaur: thanks
[21:11] <trism> geekbri: apt-get source package_name; downloads and extracts the source to the current directory
[21:11] <milamber> eoss: for some (old) programs, yes.
[21:11] <geekbri> trism: ahh gotcha
[21:11] <gobbe> tuna-fish: also would be interesting to know what kind of disks you have in workstation and server
[21:11] <milamber> eoss: is there a reason you have to use a terminal based editor?
[21:12] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: REstricted drivers does not appear under system administration
[21:12] <eoss> im new , dont know wat im doing
[21:12] <eoss> emacs seems cool
[21:12] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: additional it is, sorry
[21:12] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: they've changed it some day, sorry
[21:12] <induz> is there any offline calender to keep appointemnst
[21:12] <janisozaur> eoss, emacs is powerful. and to tame its functions you'll have to learn how to use it. if you just want simple editor, try nano, mcedit...
[21:12] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: Okay, ti says the driver is activated and currently in use :(
[21:12] <milamber> eoss: emacs is cool and very powerful, but it does have a learning curve. for basic editing with a gui (graphical user interface) you can use gedit
[21:13] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: hmm
[21:13] <eoss> ok im writing C code
[21:13] <kosmarnik> hI can haz halp withpython easyinstall?
[21:13] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: there's something gone wrong apparently
[21:13] <nothingspecial> bencahill: Oh, forgot the most important thing (yet this depends on X also). Once you have sshed in, type export DISPLAY=:0.0    now everything will be displayed on the remote box, sound will come from it, and your keyboard will control it
[21:13] <eoss> does gedit help with c code
[21:13] <geekbri> trism: yu
[21:13] <geekbri> trism: ty
[21:13] <WaltherFI> eoss: it has hilighting at least
[21:13] <tuna-fish> gobbe: the disks are old, but local test says that both are capable of more than 40MB/sec
[21:13] <tuna-fish> gobbe: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/553341/
[21:13] <janisozaur> eoss, you can have syntax highlighting
[21:13] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: Which version, I have the 96 drivers
[21:13] <WaltherFI> eoss: also, there are a lot of plugins for gedit
[21:14] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: :(
[21:14] <eoss> ok thx guys
[21:14] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: erm, that's old
[21:14] <tuna-fish> gobbe: I think I just realized -- there's a br0 bridging the gbit card with a 100Mbit one. Does this cause it to go slow?
[21:14] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: Let me run the updates
[21:14] <janisozaur> eoss, but if you want to really program in C, you'll want an ide like kdevelop, qtcreator, eclipse, netbeans, to name a few
[21:14] <eoss> im using gcc its cool
[21:14] <alaing> anyone know if phpmyadmin uses a different port to the normally port 80
[21:14] <janisozaur> eoss, gcc != editor
[21:14] <gobbe> tuna-fish: can
[21:15] <milamber> alaing: no
[21:15] <eoss> true im using gcc combined with emacs i will try one of those IDEs
[21:15] <puff> eoss: emacs has pretty good integration with both gcc and gdb.
[21:15] <Ed_Money> I'm a newb to linux and coding and am looking for an Open Source project to join to get some experience working with other coders. Recommend a good open source project for a newb?
[21:15] <puff> eoss: Ah, but I see you've already found the One True Way of Emacs :-).
[21:15] <alaing> hmmmm why cant i access phpmyadmin from another machine on my network. its not being logged in my error.log as access denied
[21:15] <eoss> hehe
[21:15] <janisozaur> puff, any links, howtos, etc? i'd like to try it myself
[21:15] <milamber> eoss: are you trying to program gui or cli?
[21:15] <tuna-fish> gobbe: do you know how could I fix this?
[21:16] <eoss> right now cli stuff
[21:16] <puff> janisozaur: emacs/gcc/gdb?
[21:16] <janisozaur> puff, yup
[21:16] <puff> eoss: Semi-seriously, some of the IDEs can be really nice... I always go back to emacs, but there are some conveniences.
[21:16] <eoss> right now in emacs i can write inside of it, and save it
[21:16] <puff> janisozaur: Hm, that's been around forever... lemme check google.
[21:16] <puff> eoss: Oh, you're new at emacs?  Well, there's definitely a bit of a learning curve.
[21:17] <eoss> yea im new to linux too
[21:17] <janisozaur> puff, though I'm a bit used to vi (which I know can have ctags integrated, but never cared enough to set it up)
[21:17] <eoss> started last week
[21:17] <WaltherFI> eoss: check gedit
[21:17] <edbian> puff eoss I am writing an IDE with a friend of mine right now.  What do you like in an IDE?  What would you make different about them?
[21:17] <WaltherFI> eoss: a lot easier
[21:17] <WaltherFI> !ot | edbian
[21:17] <edbian> oops, sorry
[21:17] <janisozaur> edbian, we'd like them to write code for us ;)
[21:17] <milamber> edbian: getting something to work w/ gtk/pkg-configure out of the box
[21:17] <eoss> i dunno im using gcc not an ide, but when i used an ide before i liked simplicity the best, i never use half the tools but thats because im a noob
[21:17] <calliscope> #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:18] <puff> janisozaur: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/782770/beginners-guide-for-setting-up-emacs-with-gcc-gdb
[21:18] <puff> edbian: Might be better to carry the discussion on some other channel.
[21:18] <edbian> puff: I'm going to ubuntu-offtopic right now
[21:18] <puff> Cool.
[21:18] <janisozaur> puff, thanks, will see to that once I have time
[21:18] <bencahill> nothingspecial: thanks, i'll see if i can come up with something :)
[21:18] <puff> janisozaur: Also see http://cslibrary.stanford.edu/107/
[21:19] <guntbert> Ed_Money: try the same question in #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:19] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: Well.  A reboot seems to have corrected it aall after a system update
[21:19] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: :)
[21:20] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: Cheers mate
[21:20] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: the nvidia GUI is very self-evident, dual is very easy to set up nowadays
[21:20] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: i recall myself making .xorg.confs to make it work back then... it was horrible
[21:20] <LuciusMare> Hello, I am using maverick, and when I edit a file with openshot, the audio and video go out of sync - how to prevent that?
[21:21] <Jemt> Hi. It seems mkfs.vfat created FAT16 partition (according to Ubuntu's installer). Can I format it as FAT32 ?
[21:21] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: Does it need to be run as root?
[21:21] <Jemt> .. using a command line tool
[21:22] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: no
[21:22] <genii-around> Jemt: mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/whatever-partition
[21:22] <svm_invictvs> TWinView is what?
[21:22] <svm_invictvs> That's a mirroring?
[21:22] <Jemt> genii-around: Fantastic, thank you :)
[21:22] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: no, twinview is dual monitor
[21:23] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: you can then select what it shows
[21:23] <nothingspecial> bencahill: **offtopic - a bit** are you aware of this http://kmandla.wordpress.com/
[21:23] <genii-around> Jemt: You're welcome
[21:23] <svm_invictvs> Double Fisted
[21:23] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: pick the TwinView, then select Right of, left of, above, below, or clones; whatever suits you
[21:25] <bencahill> nothingspecial: no, why?
[21:26] <WaltherFI> time for me to ask a question: any zen-coding -like plugins for gedit to write css faster?
[21:26] <agent> hello everyone
[21:27] <agent> does anyone here have a great WPA wordlist file
[21:28] <guntbert> agent: are you talking about brute force attacks?
[21:28] <agent> wordlists are extremely hard to find on the internet
[21:28] <agent> yes only for ethical hacking
[21:28] <rumpe1> agent, i have mine stored in /dev/urandom ^^
[21:28] <guntbert> agent: that is not welcome here
[21:28] <agent> I'm am doing this for a security audit
[21:28] <inashdeen> is canon ip880 supported on ubuntu?
[21:29] <WaltherFI> agent: probably because the people who make those know how to hidwe it from google etc
[21:29] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: most probably yes
[21:29] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: is it a camera or printer or what
[21:29] <Vhozard> HE was pretending to be girl so he can get better 'items' in World of warcraft(lot of nerds love girls). HE met another Girl. Turns out she was lesbian. They were best friends and cybering for 6 months(lol). One day she told him there is something important to tell him. He thought they she want to meet him irl. Turns out 'She' was a guy. :O < his face when he found out they were 2 guys cybering for 6 months
[21:29] <shcherbak> agent: aspell, and some imagination
[21:29] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: ubuntu supports most printers and cameras out of the box, without the need of drivers
[21:29] <j-invariant> Vhozard: hehe
[21:30] <alaing> oh do i see any error/warnings that appear when ubuntu is booting
[21:30] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: and canon also has very wide driver catalogues online
[21:30] <rww> Vhozard: I'm hoping you accidentally sent that to the wrong channel :\
[21:30] <Vhozard> rww yeah -_-
[21:30] <guntbert> Vhozard: was has that to do with ubuntu support?
[21:30] <inashdeen> printer
[21:30] <Vhozard> Control+V mistake, forgive me :)
[21:30] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: it is going to work like charm
[21:30] <nothingspecial> bencahill: because, if you like cli only installations, that guy is the best. Learnt more from him than anyone.
[21:30] <alaing> how do I see any error/warnings that appear when ubuntu is booting. I know there is one about apache not finding a name or something
[21:30] <inashdeen> canon has the worst driver support on ubuntu
[21:31] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: not actually, it was something like drivers.canon-europe.com
[21:31] <guntbert> alaing: look into /var/log  (either boot...  or syslog...)
[21:31] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: ready .debs and stuff
[21:31] <alaing> guntbert: thanks let me have a look
[21:31] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: also, try plugging it in and checkin System - Administration or Preferences - Printing
[21:32] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: there's a 90% chance it'll work well after you configure it with a few easy steps there
[21:32] <inashdeen> next q, y do usb modem always being grumpy on ubuntu. i mean, sometimes u can connect like a breeze. the next thing u know, u had to shut down or restart again n again to get it running?
[21:32] <guntbert> alaing: a hint for looking through those: a file manager for CLI is useful - I use mc
[21:32] <guntbert> !u | inashdeen
[21:33] <alaing> sorry what does CLI stand for
[21:33] <nothingspecial> alaing: command line interface
[21:33] <shiv> command line interface
[21:34] <guntbert> alaing: (like terminal)
[21:34] <inashdeen> anyone?
[21:34] <alaing> oh ok
[21:34] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: it happens on suspend
[21:34] <alaing> where can i find mc
[21:34] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: otherwise they work fine
[21:34] <guntbert> !info mc | alaing
[21:34] <alaing> I'm just using the gui at the moment
[21:34] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: but recovering modems and audio devices after suspend is buggy
[21:34] <guntbert> alaing: sudo apt-get install mc
[21:35] <alaing> ok busy installing
[21:35] <alaing> done how do i access it
[21:35] <Nach0z> Can someone help me with this? one of my  terminal users isn't showing any of the color codes for files when I do ls
[21:36] <Nach0z> it's showing the exact same output as "dir"
[21:36] <guntbert> alaing: in the CLI type:  mc (and look at the bottom for useful F keys)
[21:37] <alaing> brillant does this work if if use putty?
[21:37] <guntbert> alaing: of course
[21:37] <Vhozard> how can I setup ssh server on ubuntu?
[21:37] <shiv> mc
[21:38] <Vhozard> I want to be able to acces it from windows *putty)
[21:38] <alaing> oh man thats a brillan bit of software
[21:38] <bencahill> nothingspecial: okay, thanks :)
[21:38] <guntbert> Vhozard: sudo apt-get ssh
[21:38] <skullboy> anyone know where i can get Atlantis2
[21:38] <Vhozard> wow, guntbert youre so smart
[21:38] <Vhozard> I never thought of that
[21:38] <brontoeee> Vhozard, apt-get install ssh
[21:38] <guntbert> alaing: got you hooked ? :-)
[21:38] <Vhozard> -_-
[21:38] <trism> Nach0z: if you type: alias; in the terminal, do you have a line reading: alias ls='ls --color=auto'
[21:38] <Vhozard> After I installed ssh, THEN what do I do :)
[21:39] <alaing> most defiantly
[21:39] <guntbert> Vhozard: I beg your pardon? after installation it is runnung
[21:39] <guntbert> *running
[21:39] <alaing> I still looking for the apache error/warning that i see when i boot/shutdown
[21:39] <Nach0z> trism: typing alias into the terminal doesn't return anything.
[21:39] <Vhozard> guntbert The config files, where can I find them?
[21:39] <brontoeee> Vhozard, then you use putty
[21:40] <Vhozard> i.e. where do I set up the passwords and all
[21:40] <skullboy> anyone know where i can get Atlantis2 for compiz
[21:40] <guntbert> Vhozard: /etc/ssh
[21:40] <trism> Nach0z: that would do it, try: alias ls='ls --color=auto'; then try ls
[21:40] <Vhozard> I tried to ssh into my machine, but it would just time out
[21:40] <guntbert> Vhozard: and ~/.ssh
[21:40] <Vhozard> thats why I wanted to find the config files, to see whats wrong
[21:40] <Vhozard> Thanks, guntbert
[21:41] <brontoeee> Vhozard, ports
[21:41] <Vhozard> 21
[21:41] <Vhozard> 22
[21:41] <guntbert> Vhozard: first check if the ssh server is running
[21:41] <getBoa> Would someone help me out to recovery my ubuntu? It' s freezing on login screen after update via update-manager
[21:41] <Nach0z> trism: thanks
[21:42] <sandyd> getBoa: have you tried running dpkg in recovery mode?
[21:42] <trism> Nach0z: probably want to add that to the user's ~/.bashrc or similar
[21:42] <Vhozard> guntbert How can I easily restart the ssh server?
[21:42] <bastidrazor> Vhozard: sudo service ssh restart
[21:43] <getBoa> sandyd: recovery mode is freezing as well
[21:43] <sandyd> getBoa: try other kernels
[21:43] <bastidrazor> Nach0z: that should already be in your .bashrc if you have the default version
[21:43] <WaltherFI> getBoa: dpkg --reconfigure -a ?
[21:43] <erUSUL> Vhozard: sudo restart sshd
[21:43] <Vhozard> -d
[21:43] <Vhozard> :)
[21:44] <erUSUL> Vhozard: drop the final d ...

[21:45] <Cpt_Zyph> also is there a way to set the file format for "Desktop Recorder"
[21:45] <WaltherFI> getBoa: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[21:45] <sandyd> Cpt_Zyph: no, and I assume you mean gtk-recordmydesktop

[21:47] <Cpt_Zyph> sandyd do you know of a better application thats open soruce??
[21:47] <sandyd> try ffmpeg's xgrab :D
[21:47] <brontoeee> sanchaz-away, Cpt_Zyph ogv should play in firefox natively
[21:47] <WaltherFI> getBoa: then that's your problem
[21:47] <bastidrazor> Nach0z: you're welcome
[21:47] <WaltherFI> getBoa: sorry but i don't know about LSB modules
[21:47] <sandyd> Cpt_Zyph: try ffmpeg's xgrab*
[21:47] <Vhozard> Cpt_Zyph, You can record your desktop by a simple vlc grab command too
[21:48] <Vhozard> Cpt_Zyph, Google it
[21:48] <Cpt_Zyph> thank you
[21:48] <skullboy> what app can i use to hide my porn
[21:48] <getBoa> WaltherFI: ok, ty
[21:48] <thieven> skullboy, just rename the folder 'boring tax documents'

[21:51] <WaltherFI> getBoa: yeah, you've got some dependencies crashed it seems
[21:51] <hukko> and where can i fount this tutorial or this ubuntu documentaion
[21:51] <WaltherFI> getBoa: and dpkg-reconfig tries to solve them and usually does it very well
[21:51] <erUSUL> !apple | hukko
[21:51] <skullboy> samdyd: he dose not want to get kicked from his job
[21:51] <inashdeen> anyone had a solution on improving internet connection through the usb modem????
[21:51] <erUSUL> wrong factoid

[21:52] <getBoa> WaltherFI: yeah but it didn' twork for me... just can't bealive that I gotta reinstall everything again
[21:52] <sandyd> skullboy: then tell him don't browse it from work....
[21:52] <WaltherFI> getBoa: you shouldn't have to do that
[21:52] <WaltherFI> getBoa: just check the missing things
[21:53] <skullboy> samdyd: ok but he wants to hide the windows

[21:55] <bsmith093> i have a bunch of avi clips that i want to trim the first ten seconds off, how do i do that?
[21:55] <jamal> think you very much
[21:55] <sandyd> bsmith093: check out avidemux
[21:55] <skullboy> samdyd: he knows that i knew that is there a way to bind a hotkey to hind the window
[21:55] <sandyd> bsmith093: or ffmpeg
[21:55] <nothingspecial> bsmith093: ffmpeg
[21:55] <pravin> is it possible to watch TV on ubuntu using the tv capture card installed  on my pci slot
[21:55] <erUSUL> bsmith093: a bunch as in too much to do it one by one?
[21:56] <bsmith093> erUSUL: yes
[21:56] <hukko> i have used and tryed this thing  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook but its always the same outcome black screen saying Operating system missing
[21:56] <erUSUL> pravin: if the tv card is supported it should be possible
[21:56] <bsmith093> i have avidemux but will it just trim or does it also reencode?
[21:56] <ddilinger> i installed ubuntu 10.10 on a dell vostro 1000 laptop.   The trackpad like many under windows supports scrolling by swiping the side of the trackpad, how can i enable that in ubuntu?
[21:56] <erUSUL> bsmith093: look on how to do it with ffmpeg or memcoder
[21:56] <sandyd> bsmith093: it also reencodes
[21:56] <sandyd> bsmith093: however, for batch trimming, ffmpeg is better
[21:57] <pravin> @erUSUL: how do I know if its supported or not .
[21:57] <erUSUL> pravin: look if you have the video devices « ls /dev/video* » ( webcams and others also use this devices )
[21:59] <skullboy> samdyd: he knows that i knew that is there a way to bind a hotkey to hind the window
[21:59] <pravin> @erUSUL: This was my output " http://paste.ubuntu.com/553361/ "
[21:59] <skullboy> samdyd: he knows that i knew that is there a way to bind a hotkey to hide the window
[22:01] <bholz> what is ubuntu one?
[22:01] <Tonus> !one
[22:01] <Claytonarvixe> what is the best way to burn an .iso in ubuntu and make it bootable?
[22:01] <Vhozard> Online storage service like Dropbox
[22:01] <Vhozard> ubuntu one  ^
[22:01] <erUSUL> pravin: http://www.westbound.co.za/node/14
[22:01] <bholz> OH ok - would dropbox be better though considering its X plat?
[22:01] <nothingspecial> bholz: snc all our computers, notes, bookmarks etc
[22:02] <erUSUL> Claytonarvixe: unetbootin ?
[22:02] <Claytonarvixe> erUSUL, excuse me?
[22:02] <Vhozard> bholz Yes, Dropbox is better
[22:02] <bholz> nothingspecial: provided they are running linux though, correct?
 what is the best way to burn an .iso in ubuntu and make it bootable?
[22:02] <bholz> vhozard: thank you, sir.
[22:02] <nothingspecial> bholz: I think
[22:02] <thieven> Claytonarvixe,  type sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[22:02] <erUSUL> Claytonarvixe: uetbootin is a program that takes an livecd iso and "burns" it to a usb to make it bootable
[22:02] <thieven> Claytonarvixe, that is a great program for putting iso's onto a usb key.
[22:03] <Claytonarvixe> That is not what I asked
[22:03] <getBoa> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: aptdaemon is broken or not fully installed
[22:03] <Claytonarvixe> I need to burn a dvd iso to a dvd and make sure its bootable
[22:03] <jetscreamer> what's the default/most supported gui package manager under ubuntu
[22:03] <Claytonarvixe> Its not linux
[22:03] <nothingspecial> bholz: I know they have tried to port a windows version
[22:03] <Claytonarvixe> jetlinkin, default is gnome
[22:03] <ddilinger> i installed ubuntu 10.10 on a dell vostro 1000 laptop.   The trackpad like many under windows supports scrolling by swiping the side of the trackpad, how can i enable that in ubuntu?
[22:03] <jocrawfo> hello everyone, for some odd reason there is a bug in my corporate packages which setup my VPN stuff, so when I connect to the VPN my default route is never set to send everything over the proxy in order to change the route i need to run a command a sudo, so I have to ask is there a way for a bash script to prompt the user with a GUI window?
[22:03] <gor> a channel of Ubuntu in spanish please?
[22:03] <jetscreamer> !es
[22:03] <jocrawfo> the script will run automatically when the VPN goes up and down which is why I ask
[22:03] <Claytonarvixe> thieven, i'm not trying to urn ubuntu.
[22:03] <sandyd> :jocrawfo: gksu
[22:03] <genii-around> Claytonarvixe: The iso file itself contains whatever files would allow the dvd to boot. There is no outside thing to do to make it so
[22:03] <induz> hello i m looking for offline calender
[22:03] <Laggg|CM7> what format does the USB drive have to be in order to install the linux iso onto it?
[22:04] <Laggg|CM7> Im getting an error when I try to install using the startup disc creator
[22:04] <Claytonarvixe> genii-around, can I then just use dd for the iso to burn right?
[22:04] <jetscreamer> big enough format
[22:04] <pravin> @erUSUL: I am kind of newbie so i dont understand the latter part
[22:04] <genii-around> Claytonarvixe: If you're at command-line then something like cdrecord, usually
[22:04] <erUSUL> pravin: try to follow the guide in the blog i posted
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Laggg|CM7: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[22:05] <Claytonarvixe> genii-around, alright, what is a good gui program?
[22:05] <Laggg|CM7> Nope, but I got the DL right from Ubuntu.com or w/e
[22:05] <thieven> Claytonarvixe, it can burn lots of different iso's. not just ubuntu.
[22:05] <nothingspecial> Laggg|CM7: shouldn`t matter, did you try FAT
[22:05] <Claytonarvixe> thieven, what can?  the unetbootin thing?
 md5sum file_name
[22:05] <Laggg|CM7> let me try
[22:05] <Vhozard> see if its the same
[22:05] <genii-around> Claytonarvixe: For Gnome, Brasero usually
[22:06] <_numbers> anyone know why the mouse cursor disappears on one screen only since i upgraded ubuntu?
[22:06] <pravin> @erUSUL: i dont get the step 2
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Laggg|CM7: where you get the file from is moot, it can still be garbaged in transmission
[22:06] <_numbers> im not sure what starts it but it happens rather frequently and i can only get it back by restarting the pc
[22:06] <jetscreamer> with ubuntu, what's the default/most supported (like supported in this channel, everybody knows all about it)  gui package manager

[22:20] <ubuntu_> acicula: sorry. I have a laptop, and an external monitor. right now the display is cloned across both of them, but since their resolutions are mismatched (and I think cloned displays are a waste of electricity if nothing else), I'd like to extend one display across both monitors (not duplicate it!) :) thanks for helping so far
[22:21] <ZenMasta> DarkStar1 www.webyog.com
[22:21] <leo_rockway> I have this problem: I can ping a computer on my network using its name and it works fine, I can ping a website and that works fine, but when I try to wget anything from that website or if I try to do an apt-get update using the computer in the local network as apt proxy, then it fails to resolve the domain.
[22:21] <sandyd> ubuntu_: use xinerama
[22:21] <leo_rockway> why could it be that domain resolving fails for some things but not for others?

[22:22] <DarkStar1> ZenMasta: :D

[22:22] <Ganymede> Hello. I'm deploying a bunch of Ubuntu machines which are Kerberos/LDAP clients using a script that runs directly after installation of the OS. Upon installation of certain LDAP/Kerberos related packages, I get a blue dialog/prompt that asks me to enter in certain values (e.g. Kerberos realm, LDAP base.) Is there a way to skip those dialogs or automatically fill them out? The config files get set up via script afterwards anyway so the values ent
[22:22] <Ganymede> ered there are useless. The dialog does nothing but halts the automated script, waiting for user input.
[22:22] <acicula> id use the display tool though

[22:24] <edbian> inashdeen: Bholzi We should go to ubuntu-offtopic if we wanna just chat
[22:25] <inashdeen> leatha, know what, if u dont mind?
[22:25] <ubuntu_> sandyd: isn't xinerama defunct?

[22:25] <edbian> Bholzi: Nevermind :)
[22:25] <Leatha> inashdeen: I have 1.9 turion x2 with 4 gigs ram, I want faster performance, is there a point to installing icewm etc on a system like mine?
[22:26] <acicula> ubuntu_: its --left-of
[22:26] <inashdeen> icewm?
[22:26] <acicula> or whatever option it is that you wanted
[22:26] <Leatha> inashdeen: I notice without gnome running my command line is very fast, but its sluggish in gnome etc... im trying to figure out how to improve performance
[22:26] <Ganymede> trism, Thanks. That looks pretty good. I wonder if that'll also get me past the Java license agreement...
[22:26] <Bholzi> edbian: I am completely new to linux - as in i have only seen and used it on paper and in mirrors - never had a direct OS installed. Very exciting time lol.
[22:26] <Leatha> inashdeen: yes or enlightenment or any fast window manager or desktop envirnment, is there a point on a machine with lots of memory etc
[22:27] <shcherbak> Leatha: Xmonad, i may risk and say is fastest.
[22:27] <edbian> Bholzi: I'm happy for you :)  Please let us know if you have any questions about how to use it.  That's the purpose of this channel
[22:27] <inashdeen> leatha: u can use lxde, xfce to replace gnome
[22:27] <inashdeen> those are the two lightweight
[22:27] <Leatha> inashdeen: will I see an improvement in performance?
[22:27] <ubnoob>  someone please help, i installed a finance program (skrooge) and when i click on the icons the windo jumps up, when i click again it jumps down- any ideas?

[22:27] <DarkStar1> I'll ask again since Webyog was a complete total FAIL. Does anyone know of a database viewer that's very very similar Sequel Pro (Mac OSX) for ubuntu??
[22:28] <acicula> Leatha: only an increase in time spend getting stuff to work ;)
[22:28] <inashdeen> leatha: i had try icewm on puppylinux, it is kind of nice and light, if u really wanna try it, u can. but never heard running it in ub. of course, lxde and xfce are very light, depending on what kind of speed u wanna ur system goes, less effect means less eating on the ram
[22:28] <ubuntu_> acicula: do I pass separate resolution arguments to both displays (vga1, lvds1)?
[22:28] <acicula> no this just sets one device
[22:28] <Bholzi> edbian: Actually i do have a question, moving from 10.04 to 10.10... is that stable? and what are the advantages?
[22:29] <Leatha> well I have 4 gigs, my system never eats over a gig really unless I run virtualbox...
[22:29] <edbian> Bholzi: It is stable.  The advantages is newer software with more features (but probably the same amount of bugs)
[22:29] <ubuntu_> acicula: so it's one large virtual display? should I set it to 1680+1440x1050
[22:29] <Leatha> would it be more practical to get a faster processor?
[22:29] <edbian> Bholzi: 10.04 is probablys lightly more stable.  They are both very good though
[22:29] <acicula> ubuntu_: that might be it yeah
[22:29] <shcherbak> Leatha: or gpu...
[22:29] <VirusTB> anyone know a place whre i can practive making SQL TABLES and relationships betweenm the tables (foreign keys) for free online? without installing anything? with SQL scripts?
[22:29] <edbian> Bholzi: slightly, not lightly
[22:30] <Bholzi> edbian: i see. I was just curious.. i put in an update for 10.10 but i went from 9.10. I suppose you could say im in limbo!
[22:30] <ubuntu_> acicula: xrandr cannot find mode 3120x1050
[22:30] <inashdeen> leatha: running lxde and xfce wont hurt ur system. try it on. if u dont like, u can always goes back to gnome
[22:30] <trism> Ganymede: yes, seems like something similar should work: http://www.coreyhulen.org/?p=99
[22:31] <Leatha> ok, I will try and see how it goes, thanks for your replys everyone
[22:31] <edbian> Bholzi: Eventually you will become out of date if you don't update but you have plenty of time to sit on a release if you want
[22:31] <Leatha> inashdeen: grazy will try
[22:31] <Lint01> Bholzi, much more bloat
[22:32] <ubuntu_> acicula: is there a way to tell xrandr that there are two screens instead of just the one?
[22:32] <acicula> ubuntu try inserting --output LVDS1 --mode 1440x900 , if that doesnt work try the screens with the same resolution of 1024x768
[22:32] <acicula> ubuntu_: it already knows there are two
[22:32] <ubuntu_> acicula: I tried the first already and it couldn't find the mode for 1440x900 doing the second now
[22:33] <Ganymede> trism, Thanks again.
[22:33] <brazil> hi, I'm having a weird problem with Firefox on Lucid 64bit. When I try to open a pdf with xpdf I get a "could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred." and doing an strace indicates an EACCES when doing an execve (all the perms are good). Any ideas?

[22:34] <JabberWalkie_> I would like to install the newer version of mMass, but there is no ubuntu package for it yet...
[22:34] <inashdeen> leatha: i do realise when running virtual box that having a good processor do matter. try i3,i5,i7 or any dual core. that works great for me!
[22:34] <acicula> ubuntu_: xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x768 --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --left-of LVDS1
[22:35] <ubuntu_> acicula: ha! success!
[22:35] <acicula> Leatha: if your getting a processor look for something with VT extensions
[22:35] <acicula> ubuntu_: with 1024x768?
[22:35] <inashdeen> i got a pro
[22:35] <ubuntu_> acicula: yes. I know it's possible with both monitors in their native resolutions, but I've run into this problem before and haven't been able to even get this far
[22:36] <ubuntu_> acicula: sometiems it works, and sometimes it doesn't, depending on the distro, etc.
[22:36] <Leatha> acicula: I have an acer 5520 laptop, I could only get maybe a 2.4 vs the 1.9 I have now
[22:36] <Leatha> I do alot of ruby and use the command line alot, I just notice its very sluggish compared to when no x windows is used and im using straight command line
[22:37] <acicula> Leatha: thats normal, graphical output from virtualized systems is pretty crappy at best
[22:37] <togal7> #glogow
[22:37] <inashdeen> hi, anyone, i got a prob with running freenode on empathy any solution anyone???
[22:38] <Leatha> acicula: no no, I use the command line in ubuntu, its sluggish even when the virtual box is not being used.
[22:38] <Leatha> I only use virtual box when I need xp for browser testing or something, i dont work in the vm...
[22:38] <acicula> ah like so
[22:38] <inashdeen> leatha: how do u define sluggish?
[22:38] <pravin_> This is what i get on dmesg | grep 7130 " http://paste.ubuntu.com/553376/ " , can any one help me to watch tv on ubuntu?
[22:38] <acicula> how much memory?
[22:38] <acicula> ubuntu_: you can go higher as long as the resolutions sortof match afaik
[22:38] <Leatha> inashdeen: I can type faster than the letters show up on the screen
[22:39] <Leatha> inashdeen: without x running its instant, also calculations when I run a command take longer when in gnome
[22:39] <inashdeen> leatha: hahaha, ok then, try with lxde or xfce then, they might works better
[22:39] <Leatha> inashdeen: ok :) youve been extremely helpful thanks alot!
[22:39] <WaltherFI> Leatha: if speed goes over usability, try ratpoison
[22:40] <Leatha> WaltherFI: ill check it out
[22:40] <Leatha> i dont care for graphics at all, speed is it
[22:40] <ubuntu_> acicula: so, I have a 1680x900 display on my VGA1 monitor and a 1440x900 display on my LVDS1 monitor. I know I've had full native resolutions working before, maybe I should boot into a distro where it works, and check some files? what would I look for? does xrandr change/set a file I could look at?
[22:40] <WaltherFI> ratpoison is near-terminal desktop
[22:41] <erUSUL> Leatha: i would simply try a different xterminal; plain xterm urxvt or so
[22:41] <acicula> ubuntu_: not that im aware off
[22:41] <acicula> ubuntu_: you had them both running at their respective max resolutions?
[22:41] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: check monitor settings first, or nvidia
[22:41] <pravin_> erUSUL: This is what i get on dmesg | grep saa7130 " http://paste.ubuntu.com/553376/ "
[22:41] <ubuntu_> acicula: yes, linux mint 9, ubuntu ultimate, but not vanilla ubuntu or many other distros.
[22:41] <Leatha> erUSUL: I never thought of that, ill try that as well
[22:41] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: nowadays it is pretty rare that you have to edit .confs to make dual monitor setup work
[22:42] <Tester5> hi
[22:42] <ubuntu_> WaltherFI: where do I check monitor settings? etc/x11/xconf?
[22:42] <Tester5> does anyone here use Ubuntu Netbook Edition?
[22:42] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: oh never mind :)
[22:42] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: on vanilla ubuntu, you can do it very easily on gui
[22:42] <Tester5> I have a few questions about what it's like
[22:42] <acicula> ubuntu_: try increasing the resolution now that they work?
[22:43] <WaltherFI> Tester5: search for youtube videos
[22:43] <Urchin> how do I enable a normal user to run X server?
[22:43] <inashdeen> tester5: y dont u get the desktop environment only, that sloves many prob,if u have ub by already on ur system
[22:44] <ubuntu_> acicula: I tried to set the monitors to their full native resolutions, but it returned a BadMatch error and set the VGA1 to 1680x900 instead of 1680x1050
[22:44] <inashdeen> looking for some one to chat like a script kiddies rather than a programmer :-(
[22:44] <Guest98833> Hi, is my .bash_profile supposed to be sourced when I start GDM and open a new terminal ?
[22:44] <erUSUL> pravin_: have you tried tvtime or any other software?
[22:44] <ubuntu_> waltherFI: I've tried using grandr and lxradnr, and on vanilla ubuntu I run into the same exact problem using either the gui or cli
[22:44] <Tester5> inashdeen, I'm looking to reinstall the Ubuntu that's been running on my parents' computer. I left it in "autoupdate security patches" and now a couple of years later It's really acting up (Wine stopped working, as did Java). I was wondering if Netbook edition would be easier for non-technical people to use.
[22:45] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: weird then
[22:45] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: checked your drivers?
[22:45] <pravin_> erUSUL: I have not tried TVtie but i have tried MeTV
[22:45] <Tester5> and if it the GUI is faster than regular Ubuntu (in terms of how fast windows are drawn)
[22:45] <erUSUL> pravin_: does not work ?
[22:45] <inashdeen> nope, netbook looks nice, but lacks many normal desktop function, for dummy, gnome is always the best D.E
[22:45] <edbian> Tester5: I don't think so.  It'll confuse them why their computer is nothing like windows all of the sudden
[22:45] <jfe> hi all
[22:45] <edbian> Tester5: Just update to the latest version of Ubuntu
[22:46] <pravin_> erUSUL: no
[22:46] <jfe> is there a command to show what kind of memory is in my system (ie. PC2100, etc.)
[22:46] <Tester5> edbian: they've been using Ubuntu for 2 years, not Windows. But they're barely figuring out regular Ubuntu. All they can manage is the Firefox icon on the desktop.
[22:46] <WaltherFI> jfe: no actually, except bios
[22:46] <acicula> ubuntu_: it has to do with the other screen not being higher then 900 but i have no solution on how to make x ignore it
[22:46] <edbian> Tester5: I would just not change anything.  That's my opinion.  Change will confuse and annoy them
[22:46] <acicula> ubuntu_: maybe by setting a bigger virtual resolution?
[22:46] <ubuntu_> acicula: how do I set a larger virtual resolution?
[22:46] <Diamondcite> Tester5: You can always just use desktop icons as always.. but updating to the latest ubuntu would certainly bring you up to date?
[22:47] <inashdeen> tester5: i believe that the problem u r having due to the usage of obselete ubuntu version ( i guess it must be 8 or 9)
[22:47] <erUSUL> jfe: sudo lshw -C memory
[22:47] <pravin_> erUSUL: any software just wont recognise my tv card
[22:47] <erUSUL> pravin_: :/ sorry i can not help further. keep asking the channel.
[22:47] <inashdeen> tester5: what u need i a ubuntu guide book for dummies, or u can create one for them. ub will never be a windows, this is the fact. cause it runs on linux. mac user have better understanding of ub than windows ex user
[22:48] <Tester5> but overall, would you recommend Netbook edition over Regular edition to someone computer illiterate?
[22:48] <WaltherFI> Tester5: no
[22:48] <inashdeen> tester5: nope
[22:48] <edbian> Tester5: I would not
[22:48] <WaltherFI> Tester5: unity is more of a tablet os
[22:48] <WaltherFI> pardon, desktop
[22:48] <Diamondcite> Tester5: I would recommend as little change visually as possible for the.
[22:48] <pravin_> erUSUL: I'll do that
[22:49] <Tester5> I see
[22:49] <jfe> erUSUL: thanks
[22:49] <inashdeen> tester5: to much different in usage. try modifying gnome to make it look more user friendly. IT IS THE BEST way rather than using unity, or kde,or whatever.
[22:49] <Tester5> well OK, thanks. I'll install the latest regular version then.
[22:49] <Tester5> inashdeen, I figured if it's anything like the iPad (much fewer menu choices), they are more likely to figure out stuff on their own
[22:50] <acicula> ubuntu_: not really sure, ive ran into the same issue with my eeepc and
[22:50] <inashdeen> tester5: ok, u can replace gnome main menu with gnomenu, that make it looks more vistaish/xp
[22:50] <edbian> Tester5: It's easy I guess if you want to just launch firefox.  But more advanced stuff is harder.  It's harder to find settings windows.  It's harder to manage open windows
[22:51] <edbian> Tester5: So, in a strange way, it might work better for them.  However, like I said, it is strange and different from a traditional windows / gnome / mac doesktop
[22:51] <ubuntu_> waltherfi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553384/ is that what you're looking for?
[22:51] <ubuntu_> waltherfi: errr... what I'm looking for :)
[22:51] <inashdeen> tester5: try getting ms-oofice runs in crossover and opens the doc by default before hand it to them, that help u to ease much of the probs
[22:51] <Diamondcite> edbian: Tester5 as far as my parents and ubuntu.. desktop icons for everything they needs, (Firefox, skype, symlink to the Videos folder, symlink to Pictures folder)
[22:52] <ubuntu_> acicula: :-\ well, we've definitely made some progress
[22:52] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: sorry, i'm on my mobile now, primarily at other #channels
[22:52] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: and mobile putty can't handle links
[22:52] <inashdeen> tester5: google chrome is a much user friend;y for dummies than firefox
[22:52] <WaltherFI> but at least i use irssi on my mobile too :P
[22:52] <ubuntu_> waltherfi: ok, well it's an integrated graphics card, relatively common - intel945gm
[22:52] <WaltherFI> inashdeen: more intuitive probably yes
[22:52] <Diamondcite> inashdeen: Some people have no concept of tabbed browsing though.
[22:52] <Tester5> inashdeen, firefox is for performance reasons. It's an old computer. I can't allow it to run without Adblock Plus and Flashblock, or it will fall on its knees.
[22:52] <inashdeen> tester5: the best is, make them a guide book, it is the best
[22:53] <ubuntu_> waltherfi: and well done you're pretty quick for someone on a mobile
[22:53] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: then it shouldn't be a driver issue
[22:53] <Diamondcite> irssi on mobile?
[22:53] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: qwerty :P
[22:53] <WaltherFI> Diamondcite: ssh to school's server
[22:53] <inashdeen> tester5: can u give the psec of ur comp. i mean , if it is old, then use the xfce or lxde D.E
[22:53] <Diamondcite> WaltherFI: As so it's a phone with a physical qwerty keyboard capable of ssh.
[22:54] <benji1232> Hi, is my .bash_profile supposed to be sourced when I start GDM and open a new terminal ?
[22:54] <WaltherFI> Diamondcite: yep, nokia e71
[22:54] <inashdeen> tester5: that'll make it more 98, so less probs i guess
[22:54] <ubuntu_> acicula: so if I reboot into a distro that works, what would I look in to in order to find the settings that work (and then copy them to flash drive, etc.)
[22:54] <ubuntu_> ?
[22:54] <brazil> my problem was apparmor
[22:55] <acicula> ubuntu_: dunno, kernel version and graphicsc driver
[22:55] <Tester5> oops, gotta go. thanks for your advice everyone.
[22:55] <ubuntu_> waltherfi: have you looked at the n900? I have an n800, but I was wondering how you felt symbian compared to maemo?
[22:55] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: n900 was neat
[22:55] <Vhozard> How can I find files quickly via cli?
[22:55] <acicula> symbian is terrible
[22:55] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: however, it is old
[22:55] <edbian> Vhozard: find
[22:55] <acicula> Vhozard: locate
[22:55] <ubuntu_> acicula: ok, assuming they're the same could I gind any other conf files, or something?
[22:56] <JabberWalkie_> can debian packages be installed along side ubuntu packages?
[22:56] <edbian> Vhozard: I prefer locate though
[22:56] <andrew_ryan_jr> is there a way to list the outdated packages?
[22:56] <ubuntu_> waltherfi: isn't it newer than the 71?
[22:56] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: wait till spring, meego phones
[22:56] <inashdeen> i always had this idea, of making ubuntu easier to use for normal user, wanna write a semi software ( on .swf format) but really need a friend to complete it
[22:56] <ubuntu_> waltherfi: yeah, I've been looking forward to them
[22:56] <acicula> ubuntu_: well maybe /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but is not typically used these days
[22:56] <d3cented> whats the diff to whereis? packages onliy?
[22:56] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: also, n900 has resistive screen - ugly
[22:56] <ubuntu_> acicula: :-\ ok, I'll be back in a few with some more info I guess.
[22:56] <JabberWalkie_> or will I get into trouble?
[22:57] <ubuntu_> waltherfi: v true capacitive is where it's at
[22:57] <acicula> JabberWalkie_: no
[22:57] <JabberWalkie_> k...
[22:57] <WaltherFI> resistive works on mp3's and navigators but i have both integrated to my phone so that's it
[22:57] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: resistive has its pros too
[22:57] <ubuntu_> ?
[22:57] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: like, true pressure sensing
[22:57] <ubuntu_> oh
[22:57] <WaltherFI> and much more multitouch
[22:58] <WaltherFI> unlimited, tbh
[22:58] <acicula> JabberWalkie_: no to your first question (yes to your second one)
[22:58] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: anyway, too ot and busy at other #channels :P
[22:58] <JabberWalkie_> roger
[22:58] <WaltherFI> ubuntu_: join to #xkcd at foonetic :P
[22:58] <r3mish> what is gimp
[22:59] <acicula> foonetic?
[22:59] <acicula> r3mish: image manipulation program
[22:59] <r3mish> thanks
[22:59] <induz> Hello. I am looking for a offline calender for keeping my appointments
[23:00] <inashdeen> induz:
[23:00] <Hierro59> tengo una pc en la que no me puedo conectar porque algun usuario elimino accidentalmente el icono que sale al lado de la corneta que indica las conexiones
[23:01] <Hierro59> que puedo hacer?
[23:01] <inashdeen> induz: try dates, ubs > dates
[23:01] <xangua> induz: tried evolution¿
[23:01] <inashdeen> induz: that looks like a good one
[23:01] <xangua> !es > Hierro59
[23:01] <Vhozard> How can I use locate to look in a specific directory?
[23:01] <andrew_ryan_jr> Is there a way to get a list of packages that are out of date on my system?
[23:01] <WaltherFI> andrew_ryan_jr: sudo apt-get update
[23:02] <Raku> hi
[23:02] <kreign> is there any way to increase the boot verbosity? I'd like to see what's going on when my system boots, I don't like the 'hide everything' approach.
[23:02] <WaltherFI> andrew_ryan_jr: it does not actually update, upgrade is the command for that, update just checks
[23:02] <JabberWalkie_> Question: are packages found on launchpad.net testing packages?
[23:02] <kreign> JabberWalkie_, they sometimes are.
[23:02] <acicula> kreign: press tab(or esc?), and or switch virtual consoles
[23:03] <kreign> acicula, ... during the boot process?
[23:03] <induz> ubs> dates??
[23:03] <andrew_ryan_jr> WaltherFI: but update doesnt list the packages that need updating, correct?
[23:03] <kreign> acicula, I'm talking about the time that grub loads up until it actually gets to login.
[23:03] <andrew_ryan_jr> WaltherFI: I know if i do apt-get upgrade, it will list the packages that are going to be updated
[23:03] <WaltherFI> andrew_ryan_jr: mm there's probably an option for that
[23:03] <acicula> kreign: thats what i meant
[23:03] <kreign> JabberWalkie_, it depends on who's making the PPA. For instance, I maintained a couple PPAs for a while, but stopped doing so when I got bored with it.
[23:03] <kreign> acicula, ... VTs are available at that point already, eh? cool.
[23:03] <inashdeen> induz:
[23:04] <kreign> didnt think init spawned that off until later.
[23:04] <induz> inashdeen, ubs>dates? i can not keep appointments on that
[23:05] <Vhozard> How can I use locate to look in a specific directory?
[23:05] <inashdeen> induz: wait looking for a good one, btw, what kind of appointments u r saying?
[23:05] <azlon> how can i add a user to a folder? i dont want them to own it, just read and write to it
[23:06] <andrew_ryan_jr> azlon: add the user to the group who owns it
[23:06] <azlon> hrmm
[23:06] <WaltherFI> azlon: chmod
[23:06] <azlon> andrew_ryan_jr: how can i find the group name for the folder?
[23:06] <andrew_ryan_jr> azlon: ls -l
[23:07] <induz> inashdeen, I am applying for jobs so i need a calendar so i keep/record the appointments, Gmail is online . i am looking for offline so i can carry with me on USB
[23:07] <andrew_ryan_jr> azlon: you'll need to make sure the group has read and write as well, if they dont, use chmod g+w to add write access
[23:08] <induz> what is icalender?/
[23:08] <azlon> andrew_ryan_jr: how can i tell what group the current $USER is assigned to?
[23:08] <inashdeen> induz: ok, heres the thing, if u carrying the whole ubuntu, the chance is, u may get a good one, but if it is portable software u r looking for, the chance is, null. ubuntu seldom has portable software.
[23:10] <inashdeen> icalender is for mac, ithink it is for iphone or something
[23:10] <andrew_ryan_jr> azlon: cat /etc/group will give you the list of groups, and users in the groups
[23:10] <induz> inashdeen, so in a way i can not have a calaender[offline] to carry with me
[23:10] <denile> azlon, from terminal -- groups username
[23:11] <andrew_ryan_jr> WaltherFI: apt-get and aptitude dont seem to have an option to list upgradeable packages :/
[23:11] <WaltherFI> andrew_ryan_jr: oh wow
[23:11] <pelo> hey, im looking for a bit of help. I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 for the first time and am a complete linux noob
[23:11] <inashdeen> well, i am looking for one. but it is kind of hard because, if u just bring the calender with u, tell me how u gonna open the calender on a windows computer????
[23:11] <andrew_ryan_jr> WaltherFI: if they do, I'm missing it
[23:12] <azlon> denile: then to add $USER to a group i do: groups add $USER <groupname>
[23:12] <azlon> ?
[23:12] <andrew_ryan_jr> WaltherFI: i know that '/usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available' will show the number of updates available, MOTD uses it
[23:12] <_numbers> i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and made no extra effort to install an nvidia driver. does that mean i am using xrandr?
[23:12] <litropy> When I boot into recovery mode, I get, "Cannot open root device" with my root partition's uuid "or unknown block(0,0)
[23:13] <_numbers> also i cannot find /etc/xorg.conf
[23:13] <inashdeen> induz: wait, think i got one, giv me a while
[23:13] <acicula> _numbers: there isnt one
[23:13] <denile> azlon, usermod -G groupname
[23:13] <shaggyoaf> it
[23:13] <kreign> _numbers, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:13] <acicula> _numbers: you can set resolution via preferences -> display
[23:13] <andrew_ryan_jr> denile: i tend to vim /etc/group :P
[23:13] <kreign> _numbers, these days it's usually mostly empty w/ it all auto-detected.
[23:14] <kreign> litropy, i missed the intro; what'd you do to get to that point?
[23:14] <induz> inashdeen, Ok
[23:14] <acicula> _numbers: and you can activate nvidia drivers via the the Hardware driver tool
[23:14] <kreign> litropy, also, #grub or similar might be a better destination for you
[23:14] <inashdeen> induz: ok, my line is darn bad, try rainlendar, i cant test it first hard, it might work.
[23:15] <inashdeen> induz: http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php?option=com_rny_download&Itemid=30
[23:15] <_numbers> im just trying to fix the mouse cursor from disappearing sometimes off the left monitor.
[23:15] <Vhozard> How can I update /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db    ????/
[23:15] <pelo> does anyone know why when i pop in the ubuntu 10.10 amd64 CD I can't set up a dual boot? it doesn't seem to be recognizing my win7 installation on the same disk
[23:15] <_numbers> its odd because it still works (i can see things highlighting as i move the mouse around) and i can click and if i drag apps to the right monitor (where the cursor still appears) then i can get along without it for a while
[23:16] <_numbers> someone suggested HWCursor but not sure how to set that with the new xorg.conf layout
[23:16] <acicula> pelo: boot windows and make sure its properly shut down
[23:16] <_numbers> "No proprietary driver is in use on this system."
[23:16] <_numbers> maybe installing the recommended Nvidia driver will fix?
[23:16] <_numbers> that might explain why Google Earth was so slow
[23:16] <pelo> alrighty, will try it, thanks ;)
[23:17] <acicula> worth installing yeah
[23:17] <kreign> _numbers, you're on this one like a hound on a hare.
[23:17] <inashdeen> induz: u could try to use the portable version for windows on wine, so that, when u open it up on a windows system, u wont have much prob
[23:17] <_numbers> lol kreign
[23:18] <inashdeen> gonna of now, tara!
[23:19] <BernardV> nn inashdeen ;) (if it's night there...)
[23:19] <ylmfos> so many people in here!
[23:19] <mimor> I have problems with alsamixer

[23:21] <andrew_ryan_jr> WaltherFI: 'apt-show-versions -u' lists updateable pages, FYI
[23:22] <Vhozard> nvm, I needed to edit /etc/updatedb.conf and remove /media from the PRUNEPATHS option
[23:22] <acicula> mimor: output of lspci | grep Audio ?
[23:24] <mimor> acicula: 00:0f0 Ado device: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller
[23:28] <duke_> how i bring proces in front opposite of  ./myprog &
[23:28] <acicula> mimor: whats the exact error when you type alsamixer
[23:30] <ZenMasta> need some help installing lamp when i try commands like aptitude install apache2 it says couldn't find any package or description matched apache2
[23:30] <mimor> acicula: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[23:30] <lucenut> OK, twice I loaded 10.10 x64 alongside windows 7 x 64 on a Sony VAIO with 4G RAM and after ubuntu does a big batch of updates I lose keyboard and touchpad.
[23:30] <mimor> acicula: exactly that
[23:30] <lucenut> Any ideas?
[23:30] <duke_> is there no command to bring running process in front to terminal?
[23:30] <acicula> mimor: does lsmod | grep snd give you anything
[23:31] <lucenut> I can boot into ubuntu and see the clock is running but can't interact with it.
[23:31] <acicula> duke_: fg
[23:31] <mimor> acicula: quite a lot actually
[23:31] <acicula> mimor: k drivers are loaded too then
[23:31] <duke_> mimor thx :)
[23:32] <mimor> duke_: ?
[23:32] <lucenut> Can I repair this ubuntu install in recovery mode?
[23:32] <duke_> thank you for your help
[23:32] <Chipzzz> ZenMasta: apt-get install apache2
[23:33] <duke_> thx acicula im less sleeping
[23:33] <jhansonxi> I'm trying to get wicd to coexist with Network Manager.  I want wicd-curses for recovery mode only.  I modified the NM upstart job to not start in runlevel S but wicd starts in runlevel 2, even with the init script removed.  Why?
[23:34] <thieven`> lucenut, i would say yes, or use a live cd to play with it. but i don't know what happened to it. that is an odd problem you have.
[23:34] <Bholzi> Kernel version command?
[23:34] <thieven`> uname -r
[23:34] <mimor> Bholzi: uname -r
[23:34] <thieven`> Bholzi,
[23:34] <mimor> oh too late :(
[23:34] <thieven`> i win!
[23:35] <Gnea> cat /proc/version
[23:35] <mimor> you're a thieve
[23:35] <thieven`> i /me'd the victory from you.
[23:35] <duke_> i have windows+virtualbox and wanna make host only how i have to configure my route to still access internet with my linux machine
[23:35] <hockebocke> how do I get 5.1 sound on HDMI?
[23:36] <duke_> 192.168.178.0   *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0
[23:36] <Gnea> duke_: turn on ip forwarding
[23:36] <duke_> second line ist just with interfacename vboxnet
[23:37] <duke_> on my virtualbox or linux system
[23:37] <duke_> ?
[23:37] <Gnea> duke_: it should get to the net on its own otherwise
[23:37] <Gnea> linux
[23:37] <acicula> mimor: dont know then, is there an audio cable connected, are you in the right user group?
[23:38] <ocean> does any one know if ubuntu supports hybrid graphics card?
[23:38] <acicula> mimor: try sudo alsamixer maybe?
[23:38] <lucenut> OK, riddle me this. Ubuntu 10.10 on a VAIO VGN-NS235J and after it does it's first round of updates I lose keyboard/touchpad!
[23:38] <kosmarnik> python-setuptools is giving me trouble:  easy_install --prefix /usr/local pyrocore gets me an error message: TEST FAILED: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages does NOT support .pth files error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH... running this under root
[23:38] <duke_> is it a one liner?
[23:38] <lucenut> I just plugged in a USB and it's fine.
[23:38] <thieven`> hockebocke, some hdmi ports do not send audio through it.  maybe yours is one of those.
[23:38] <acicula> ocean: depends on the hybrid form i think
[23:38] <mimor> acicula: I'm in the audio group, tried as sudo already ;)
[23:38] <acicula> mimor: is there an audio cable connected?
[23:38] <mimor> acicula: cable is working fine
[23:39] <acicula> weird, then i dont know
[23:39] <ocean> acicula, i am usinga hp dv-6 3150sa laptop which uses ATI mobilty readon HD 5470 graphics9switchable with intel HD GMA). after partitioning i could install ubuntu 10.10 without any problems.
[23:39] <hockebocke> thieven`: it's a nvidia card. the audio works, but it's just stereo
[23:39] <mimor> acicula: no problem, thx for the help ;)
[23:39] <kosmarnik> any ide where PYTHONPATH should point to?
[23:39] <ocean> acicula, but ATi is not working
[23:40] <acicula> ocean: its using the intel gpu?
[23:40] <Gnea> kosmarnik: did you compile python?
[23:40] <BernardV> hockebocke: stereo+ is overrated ;)...
[23:40] <thieven`> hockebocke, the only thing i would know then is clicking in the settings on your little speaker icon by the clock on your panel. make sure it's set to 5.1
[23:40] <ocean> inel is the low perfomance, i am not sure if its GPU
[23:40] <kosmarnik> Gnea, I'm not sure, did apt-get install python
[23:41] <hockebocke> thieven`: what should be set to 5.1?
[23:41] <Gnea> kosmarnik: what's using python-setuptools?
[23:41] <lucenut> Anyone know how to fix ubuntu 10.10 when you lose keyboard/touchpad?
[23:42] <lucenut> USB keyboard/mouse work on it.
[23:42] <kosmarnik> Gnea, trying to install pyrocore, by following their instructions
[23:42] <ocean> acicula, i tried switcheroo programe. when i choose the low perfomance the active card is the intel one and compiz works but when i switch to high perfomance the compiz disappears. i tried installing the ati driver from the website but no joy
[23:42] <lucenut> Brand new installation and was fine before doing updates.
[23:42] <thieven`> hockebocke, on the 'output' tab, you can see what it's set to.  on the hardware tab is where you can change from 2.0 to 5.1   i hope that does it, cause other than that, i am useless to help you as linux audio is a secret art that only a few understand.
[23:43] <acicula> ocean: you have to restart x when you switch gpus
[23:43] <BernardV> thieven`: I just walked in and see hockebocke's replies, but does it mean nvidia->hdmi+audio? Why would ubuntu stay between the coding.. let the other end solve it. (I never used it, so don't have a clue...)
[23:43] <hockebocke> thieven`: ok
[23:43] <Gnea> kosmarnik: which instructions?
[23:44] <almoxarife> http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2011/01/noaa-2010-goes-down-as-a-tie-for-warmest-year-on-record.ars?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss  <--- good news, its getting warmer
[23:44] <kosmarnik> Gnea: http://code.google.com/p/pyroscope/wiki/QuickStartGuide?tm=2
[23:44] <han_> Hi fellow ubuntu'ers (?) i just got into the game, and I love it! However I am looking for some suggestions: Can someone recommend me a better bittorrent client and a better music tool?
[23:44] <han_> like itunes I guess
[23:44] <ocean> acicula, i am not a skilled user, could u explain me what x is pls. when i switch the graphics it automatically logs me out and i have to login again.is that enough or ?
[23:44] <almoxarife> sorry, wrong window
[23:44] <kosmarnik> han_: rtorrent FTW
[23:44] <Gnea> kosmarnik: what version of Ubuntu are you on?
[23:44] <acicula> ocean: yeah
[23:44] <BernardV> lol @ kosmarnik :)
[23:45] <kun> hi everybody
[23:45] <Gnea> BernardV: I just saw it too
[23:45] <BernardV> kosmarnik: You're right about the client, but I think he means...
[23:45] <acicula> ocean: did you activate the hardware drivers for ati? under system
[23:45] <Gnea> kosmarnik: make sure you read every part of that section
[23:45] <lucenut> Anyone? How to recover keyboard/touchpad? They were working until I let it do it's updates last night.
[23:46] <kosmarnik> BernardV, then rutorrent? or just use Vuze :D
[23:46] <ocean> acicula, that was the first job i did.installing fglrx and on reboot GUI disappeared and it took me to command mode.i had to reinstall ubuntu
[23:46] <han_> rtorrent? i don't see that on the list of ubuntu software
[23:46] <BernardV> kosmarnik: I'd stay with just R..
[23:46] <Gnea> kosmarnik: did you find it yet?
[23:47] <kosmarnik> Gnea, sorry trying to look it up, I'm newb at this :|
[23:47] <kun> I'm ubuntu noob and I have a problem :( I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in my desktop but when I restart it, ubuntu doesn't start and screen is freeze with Ubuntu Logo

[23:48] <han_> So what is the best torrent software to use?
[23:48] <kosmarnik> Gnea, Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[23:48] <coz_> kun,   when you downloaded the iso image...did you check the md5sums on that  and did you burn it at  1x  ???
[23:48] <Gnea> kosmarnik: "If easy_install prints a message containing error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH, try to use --prefix /usr in the above command."
[23:48] <han_> anyone have any suggestions?
[23:48] <acicula> ocean: k
[23:48] <CaptainJon> Hey guys, just installed Ubuntu desktop on my laptop and i set my password during the installation but when I try to install updates says that it is wrong....what do I do?
[23:48] <kun> bernard, I know it could be worse
[23:48] <kosmarnik> han_, there is no best, go try rt/rut, vuze, maybe deluge
[23:48] <pitoow> han_, deluge
[23:48] <kun> but in my 3 install too??
[23:48] <ocean> hi
[23:49] <lucenut> How do I recover keyboard/touchpad? They were working until I let it do it's updates last night.
[23:49] <good_intentions> Hey I need to install a pakacge in ubuntu 10.04 called libarts1-dev but its not in the repository and can't find any solutions online can someone assist me I need it as it is dependency
[23:49] <kun> when I resest my desktop many times, ubuntu works at the end
[23:49] <acicula> ocean: x is the graphical environment. if the hardware drivers crash on boot best to leave them and try again when ubuntu 11.04 comes out.
[23:49] <lucenut> Ubuntu 10.10 on Sony VAIO
[23:49] <han_> thanks guys, pitoow ill try deluge
[23:49] <Gnea> lucenut: can you still use the mouse?
[23:49] <han_> thanks
[23:49] <lucenut> It's a laptop.
[23:49] <lucenut> USB mouse/keyboard works.
[23:49] <Meway> does anyone have a good example of copying a file and pasting it in a different directory using the terminal ( I'm using ubuntu server)
[23:49] <lucenut> But the onboard stuff no worky.
[23:49] <Gnea> lucenut: reboot it?
[23:49] <pitoow> han_, (y)
[23:49] <lucenut> Have many times. :-)
[23:50] <rww> Meway: cp original otherdirectory/copy
[23:50] <Steve973> How can I verify that I have NFS exports set up properly?  I cannot connect from my client machine (mac os x)
[23:50] <Gnea> lucenut: could you please pastebin the output of the dmesg command?
[23:50] <lucenut> It was a brand new install last night and worked fine until it did it's big round of updates.
[23:50] <rww> Meway: e.g. cp file.txt Documents/resume.txt
[23:50] <kun> any idea?
[23:50] <kosmarnik> Gnea,  easy_install --prefix /usr pyrocore  -> error: installation into /usr  ->Trying to install into the system managed parts of the file system.
[23:50] <Meway> rww can you explain a bit>
[23:50] <Bholzi> Sorry - i ran a stupid command, how do i run a specific application (eg solitare) from the terminal?
[23:50] <Gnea> !nfs | Steve973
[23:50] <ocean> acicula, thanks. i had a detailed googling on this issue, so far i couldnt figure out a decent article about linux support of hybrid graphics
[23:51] <Steve973> gnea I already did that
[23:51] <rww> Meway: cp is the command name. the first argument is where the file is. the second argument is where the file's going.
[23:51] <acicula> ocean: its still rather poor atm
[23:51] <ocean> hopin 11.04 will come out with a fix
[23:51] <acicula> ocean: i expect it to be somewhat improved in 11.04 though
[23:51] <Gnea> Steve973: can you pastebin your /etc/exports file?
[23:51] <Steve973> Gnea i modified my iptables rules to allow all traffic from my lan-facing interface
[23:51] <Gnea> Steve973: nice
[23:52] <ocean> acicula, i can see that discussions abt hybrid graphics support started way bak in december 2009!
[23:52] <Gnea> kosmarnik: I do not know then...
[23:52] <Steve973> Gnea does that sound reasonable?
[23:52] <acicula> ocean: you could try disabling one of the gpus in the bios and see if it gets better that way
[23:52] <wo7ke> sb using remastersys around?
[23:52] <poortfel> hi
[23:52] <Steve973> Gnea I will pastebin the exports file momentarily
[23:52] <kun>  I'm ubuntu noob and I have a problem :( I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in my desktop but when I restart it, ubuntu doesn't start and screen is freeze with Ubuntu Logo
[23:52] <ocean> acicula, disappointing thing is that the bio doesnt support graphic selection
[23:52] <kosmarnik> Gnea, do you at least have an idea what PYTHONPATH is for? is it a lib dir or an install dir?
[23:53] <Steve973> Gnea: http://pastebin.com/9CLGuJwg
[23:54] <ocean> j
[23:54] <Meway> rww:  what is e. g.
[23:54] <Meway> ?
[23:54] <ocean> .
[23:55] <Chipzzz> :kun reboot, hold the space key until grub comes up, select the failsafe video mode
[23:55] <bastidrazor> Chipzzz: kun .. it is the shift key
[23:55] <kun> thanks for info chipzzz
[23:55] <kun> shift key otr space bar
[23:55] <kun> or space bar
[23:55] <Chipzzz> Sorry... bastidrazor is right
[23:55] <Meway> rww ok I have file 1, directory 1 and directory 2 I wan't to move file 1 into directory 2. The file is in directory 1
[23:56] <Gnea> kosmarnik: I've never dealt with it, perhaps #python would know
[23:56] <kun> ok
[23:56] <Steve973> Gnea, is that file reasonable?
[23:56] <kun> and then???
[23:56] <lucenut> Gnea, what was that command to run? dmesg?
[23:56] <kosmarnik> Gnea, thanks, I'll try there
[23:56] <kun> it coud be a hardware problem??
[23:57] <Gnea> lucenut: dmesg | pastebinit
[23:57] <Drainix> Hey there an easy way to limit how much bandwidth you give to an ip ? :P
[23:57] <Drainix> in ubuntu 10.10
[23:57] <CaptainJon> Hello, I installed ubuntu desktop, and my password says its wrong, How do i reset my password?
[23:58] <jetscreamer> what's a good partition size for a nice big fat bloated install of lots of newbie candy
[23:58] <Drainix> All of it.
[23:58] <Drainix> lol
[23:58] <Gnea> Steve973: have you tried doing it per ip instead of a whole block at a time?
[23:58] <acicula> jetscreamer: 20-30gb or so
[23:58] <Steve973> Gnea no, not yet
[23:58] <Gnea> jetscreamer: giga-gigabytes!
[23:59] <Chipzzz> kun: then you will be able to use the graphic interface... you'll be able to solve the problem more easily that way
[23:59] <shcherbak> CaptainJon: You sure that it is not Caps Lock?
[23:59] <Gnea> Steve973: okay, I'd pick an ip that's already assigned and try that
[23:59] <jetscreamer> nah i'm setting up a dual boot for this guy.. ok thanks
[23:59] <DasEi> jetscreamer: hardly 50, rather less, and can extend /home later
[23:59] <Guest53932> hello, I'm a bit Offtopic but are there other rooms just to chat?
[23:59] <Bholzi> how do you get from 'man man' back to terminal cmd?
[23:59] <lucenut> Gnea, pastebin.com/ziNpK9xu
[23:59] <kun> Understand you Chipzzz
[23:59] <Gnea> Steve973: I'm not sure if using CIDR notation is correct syntax or not
[23:59] <acicula> Bholzi: q
