[00:07] PCChrist what is your video card? [00:48] hi [00:48] i have a question [00:49] i am using kde now, and when i click "computer" then system settings then in the lost and found - all the items that were on the accessories in gnome are in the lost and found is this correct [00:50] hey guys. [00:50] Hi Red-Raven [00:50] Hai Red-Raven [00:52] any way in ubuntu to erase a pin drive with a virus on it besides dd, formating, or deleting in Gparted? [00:52] Red-Raven: Because all of the above don't work? [00:54] yup. [00:55] I dunno, blows my mind <_> [00:55] MS security essentials didn't work either. [00:57] I am using KDE and all the items that were on the accessories tab in gnome are in the lost and found is this correct? Can someone help with that [00:57] Howdy [00:58] OK, who has a bad issue that needs urgent help? [00:58] I lost scrollback and can't see joins / partz [00:58] Red-Raven: you first, it sounds fun [00:59] Hi [00:59] i could use help [00:59] Red-Raven: have you tried mkfs.ext* ? [00:59] egossett: sup, dude. let's hear it === jacob_ is now known as jacob [00:59] I am using KDE and all the items that were on the accessories tab in gnome are in the lost and found is this correct? [00:59] Red-Raven: that rebuilds the fs without a repartition ( and is called from Gparted after a format ) [00:59] I am a girl - dude. SMILE [00:59] HAHAHAHA [00:59] egossett: dude is asexual [00:59] egossett: and I stand by that, damnit [01:00] kk [01:00] egossett: so, what's your issue? [01:00] Doede, you are a girl? :) [01:00] I appreciate your help [01:00] dude [01:00] hahaha [01:00] heh [01:01] I am using KDE and all the items that were on the accessories tab in gnome are in the lost and found is this correct? [01:01] hahaha sweet [01:01] gtg, ba-bye y'all....good luck with your problems :) [01:01] egossett: humm, not sure if that's stock or desgined behavior [01:01] later Commodore64 [01:01] thanks chris [01:02] er, chr- [01:02] he left, shucks [01:02] egossett: it might be an issue with the XDG entries, but I doubt it [01:02] somehow [01:02] egossett: was it always like this? [01:02] paultag: oh i don't know [01:03] egossett: can you give an example of some that are now misplaced? [01:03] paultag: yes i just installed kde [01:03] one minute [01:03] sure [01:03] desktop effects [01:03] joystick [01:03] login manager [01:03] splash scree [01:03] workspace [01:03] device actions [01:03] yeah [01:04] input actions [01:04] hardware [01:04] egossett: those are all GNOME menu entries. Where's `firefox' ? [01:04] firefox is under applications internet [01:05] great [01:05] as webbrowser [01:05] egossett: that's normal and expected behavior [01:05] but firefox icon [01:05] yes [01:05] egossett: as is the lost + found stuff [01:05] egossett: your system is clean and healty. If you don't like it, you can move entries in the editor [01:05] so no accessories on the kde button on the lower left on the bottom panel [01:06] o no [01:06] i thought this was an error. [01:06] egossett: KDE -> GNOME back and forth is a bit fisty [01:06] lost and found sounds like it is out of place [01:06] I am new user [01:06] so maybe not understanding where things really go [01:06] egossett: KDE guys like doing things by the books, and GNOME guys like doing cowboy coding -- so when KDE catches a GNOME'ism, it gets handled funny [01:06] lost sounds lost to me [01:07] i see [01:07] How often are Linux kernels released? [01:07] webjadmin: whenever linus gets off his ass [01:07] password and user account is in the lost and found section now also [01:07] egossett: it's OK. Those are GNOME tools that are in the menu "funny" [01:08] ok Thank you for assistance [01:08] egossett: you may move them without any trouble [01:08] egossett: sure, no problem [01:08] no [01:08] don't know enough to move things yet [01:08] as long as this is not a problem they can stay where kde put them [01:08] egossett: you know that KDE is not GNOME. That's more then enough [01:08] egossett: sure. No problems will come up [01:09] thank you so much DUDE. hahahaha [01:09] well, webjadmin must have not liked me [01:09] egossett: no problem, dude [01:09] well i don't know why - I like you [01:09] smile [01:09] paultag, I do like you, lol. I didn't notice that I was using my username. [01:09] I am webjadmin. [01:09] JackyAlcine: oh hahahaha [01:09] hahahha [01:09] :D [01:09] JackyAlcine: I don't see joins or parts [01:09] hi jacky [01:09] or nicks [01:10] Hey egossett [01:10] So if you ever see that nick somewhere, it's me. :D [01:10] double identities! [01:10] JackyAlcine: I have a bunch that I go "undercover" with [01:10] i had double entries the other day. but figure how i was doing that [01:10] lurkers [01:10] sometimes I just don't want to be bugged ;) [01:11] egossett: yup. [01:11] lurking [01:11] Same here. =/ but then people /whois me and >_< [01:11] JackyAlcine: haha [01:11] JackyAlcine: I keep different ns entries [01:11] i will prolly always show as egossett or evalyn [01:12] Speaking of entries, I'm trying to find a way to make Wikipedia entries available to a system as an object, sort of a knowledge base. [01:12] hello egossett [01:12] how are you doing? [01:12] i got to make lots of friends here - want to learn from everyone [01:12] points. [01:12] egossett: have you been here long? Sorry, I don't think we've met. [01:12] cprofitt: hi [01:12] I've been idle far too long [01:12] no fairly new [01:12] hey cprofitt [01:13] loaded Ubuntu 10.04 in december [01:13] Hey cprofitt! [01:13] BUT [01:13] i have been fiddling with Ubuntu for well over 2 years [01:13] egossett: is going to be stellar folks... [01:13] now I feel i got a good set up [01:13] thanks for confidence cprofitt [01:14] and I will keep it on this Dell Inspiron [01:14] Red-Raven left [01:14] shame [01:14] wonder if he solved his issue [01:14] paultag: do you want to take on RedSing; if not I would be willing as they are in my loco [01:14] stuck with windows on two other home computers for now. I don't like to use them now tho [01:14] cprofitt: I'm overloaded. I've got Cheri703 fulltime and JackyAlcine part-time/ [01:14] I may get to convert my father to Linux in the next 2-4 weeks [01:15] Hey now... what are you doing with JackyAlcine? [01:15] :-) [01:15] :D [01:15] JackyAlcine is cheating on me, heh? [01:15] cprofitt: good for you [01:15] cprofitt: I'm giving him little programming tidbits to munch on [01:15] Lol, not all the time! [01:15] cprofitt: in all fairness I had him first [01:15] cprofitt: so NYAH! [01:15] Lol. [01:15] LOL [01:15] * JackyAlcine watches and claps. [01:16] and egossett is cheesing [01:16] I see paultag [01:16] egossett: cheesing? You sound like a young-un. South Park FTW [01:16] cprofitt: I'm just bullshitting. We talk now and again :) [01:17] lol [01:17] cprofitt: you know i am a yungin [01:17] I know paultag [01:17] just was not sure how to respond... [01:17] JackyAlcine could benefit from some of your assistance anyway [01:17] cprofitt: hahaha, good. I was hopeing you knew I was not laying claim [01:17] it's all good [01:17] hoping * [01:17] the programming stuff is a bit beyond me at this point [01:17] JackyAlcine: have you figured out the ( n & ( n -1 ) ) yet ? [01:17] I hope paultag's ready for some AI! [01:17] heck... in reality the padawan belong to all of us [01:17] JackyAlcine: dude, I rocks [01:17] cprofitt: right? [01:17] NOOO, cprofitt, he's being mean! lol [01:18] cprofitt: and paultag: yes lots of deep stuff here, [01:18] JackyAlcine: I would have just made you do the first 33 problems at ProjectEuler [01:18] ouch! [01:18] * JackyAlcine blows up into ashes. [01:18] LOL [01:18] puff [01:18] I've not even had that much time ;) [01:18] c'mon... those are not that hard... I did not say you had to do them in Machine Language [01:19] cprofitt: well where's the fun in that? [01:19] though we really should move this to -team [01:19] cprofitt: truf [01:19] as this is our support channel [01:19] cprofitt: i have gpg key, linux id, and ubuntu id now [01:19] my mistaked for going so far in here [01:19] * JackyAlcine rises from ashes, and burns even brighter. [01:19] JackyAlcine: phoenix [01:19] cprofitt: it's cool, I'm trying to stay on duty ( hahaha doodie ) for a while [01:19] lol [01:20] paultag: I am re-writing the backup wiki page [01:20] egossett: Yup, I love them. If I ever create anything epic, I'll call it the Phoenix. [01:20] cprofitt: yeah? [01:20] which is, from my point of view... well... not good [01:20] hey sorry. missed anything since last time i posted. [01:20] JackyAlcine: well you need to make a shitty one first, then get a 2.0 [01:20] Red-Raven: aww! [01:20] Red-Raven: I gave you a 2 page response and you missed it [01:20] the list synchronization, creating an archive and drive imaging as types of backup [01:20] Red-Raven: kidding. One line. Have you checked mkfs.ext* ? [01:20] Red-Raven: we are just shooting the breeze [01:20] press ^? [01:21] cprofitt: i did try irssi and felt it was to advanced for me, - need to remember commands [01:21] 00:59 <+paultag> Red-Raven: have you tried mkfs.ext* ? [01:21] 00:59 <+paultag> Red-Raven: that rebuilds the fs without a repartition ( and is called from Gparted after a format ) [01:21] Red-Raven: we have public logs online as well ( if no one is around and you need to check ) [01:22] cprofitt: but now that i have kde i am using quassel irc which i like better than the gnome xchat [01:22] Red-Raven: or if your disk is in vfat format, mkfs.vfat will work well too [01:22] Red-Raven: just look up the mkfs.* family, really [01:22] egossett: cool [01:22] I only learned irssi because I wanted a terminal based chat [01:22] irssi++; [01:22] in case I had to remote in to a screen session [01:22] or had a low power machine [01:22] ok [01:23] i tried it just to see the difference [01:23] ik. [01:23] to see if its in there? [01:23] i need the assistance for now, maybe later i will remember commands [01:23] egossett: I started with xchat [01:23] Red-Raven: what format is your disk in? [01:23] cprofitt: egossett, kicking you to -team while I help with Red-Raven here [01:24] if you don't mind [01:24] it'll be 4 minutes [01:24] cprofitt: yes - but i do like the kde interface better [01:24] ok [01:24] np [01:24] i will just read along see if i learn something here [01:24] Red-Raven: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [01:24] Red-Raven: so I can see a list of partitions, and what format they are in, if you don't mind [01:25] A lot of people like KDE better... it is, to me, more like both Windows and OS X [01:25] again, providing sdb is your flash drive [01:25] cprofitt: Maybe it's because I started with GNOME, but I can't ever get accustomed to KDE, it's a bit too much for moi. [01:25] cprofitt: yes it is like windows and I know that is why i like it. but i need it so i can learn more. [01:26] can anyone give me a hand connecting a printer/scanner to my computer? [01:26] drop_bear: I might need to run in a second, but I can give 2-mintue help [01:26] cprofitt: it has been so long since i did commands in commodore and dos. will take some time to get use to that again [01:26] drop_bear: what make and model? [01:26] drop_bear: also, sweet /nick [01:26] brother dcp165c [01:27] egossett: I understand [01:27] I love the drop_bear ssh server [01:27] what's that? [01:27] drop_bear: that should be plug and play. Is it not working OTB? [01:27] drop_bear: nevermind [01:27] not working [01:27] JackyAlcine and egossett we have some folks seeking help in here... lets take side chatter to -team [01:27] it comes up with a list of drivers for brother computers but it's not one of them [01:27] I am on 10.10 [01:28] kk [01:28] drop_bear: humm. Can you paste `tail /var/log/messages' when you plug it in? [01:28] yeah, but it is quite a few lines [01:29] drop_bear: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [01:29] drop_bear: pastebin :) [01:29] !pastebin | drop_bear [01:29] drop_bear: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[01:31] I DID IT!!! [01:31] drop_bear: you're the *first* person, in 4 years, who's come in here with an issue that is horrid! [01:31] drop_bear: this is awesome. Time to file some bug reports! [01:32] drop_bear: Your driver totally bombed your kernel. It's a wonder your system is not crashing [01:32] sorry what's going on? [01:32] drop_bear: you know when you're in deep deep sleep [01:32] oh... could it be the flux capacitor? [01:32] drop_bear: and you're just about to make out with the hot chick? [01:32] go on [01:32] drop_bear: and then some ass wakes you up with water? [01:32] drop_bear: that's what's going on. [01:32] YEAH... I LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING [01:32] oh [01:33] drop_bear: So, if you don't mind, please head to #ubuntu-kernel and show them this, they can help you from here on out [01:33] drop_bear: hell yeah. High five! [01:33] okay [01:33] drop_bear: really, well done, dude. Never seen that before, in my 10 years of using Linux [01:34] what actually happened? [01:34] I'm a little lost [01:34] drop_bear: it's something called a "Segfault" or "Segmentation fault" [01:34] drop_bear: it's when the bit of code tries to use a pointer that's outside it's segment [01:34] drop_bear: it's very bad and usually is the programmer's fault. Hell. It's always the programmer's fault [01:35] oh [01:35] drop_bear: so, it's thinking all is well, attempts to use invalid memory and bombs out hard [01:35] well I am going to head on over to the kernal channell and let them know all about it [01:35] drop_bear: moment [01:35] drop_bear: yeah, please do [01:35] drop_bear: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault [01:36] It's really a wonder the kernel is still online [01:37] oh [01:37] it sounds bad [01:37] drop_bear: it is :) [01:37] drop_bear: but the good news is, it's 0% your faulkt [01:37] is my computer going to fall over now? [01:37] fault * [01:37] drop_bear: nah. It'll live [01:38] drop_bear: fat chance of using the print driver, though [01:38] oh [01:38] ever? [01:38] drop_bear: Oh no, not at all. It might be a versioned issue [01:38] should I throw away my printer... or drop it in the river or something? [01:38] drop_bear: that's why I'm suggesting a trip to kerenl, they might be able to find the error [01:38] I have posted up there already [01:39] drop_bear: rock on, mang. You should be able to get it to work, but might take some work [01:39] this is what I said [01:39] hello. I was just at ubuntu beginners with a printer problem and was told to run this command "tail /var/log/messages" and paste the results which can be found here http://paste.ubuntu.com/554930/ they said that I have a segmentation fault and that I should head here straight away and let you guys know.... so here I am [01:39] drop_bear: rox on. Sec. [01:39] does that sound appropriate [01:39] cool [01:40] I feel it necessary at this point to articulate the fact that I am a computer quambi [01:41] drop_bear: quambi ? [01:41] BRB [01:41] like spastic but worse [01:41] much, much worse [01:44] gotta run... I will be back soon [01:46] back [01:46] drop_bear: rock on dude [02:10] hi all... relative n00b here.... having a difficult problem..... I am installing a linksys ae1000 usb wifi adapter to my linux system..... linksys/cisco doesnt support it.... i found, followed, and succeeded with these instructions previously...... (i know it's a fedora forum, but it works... or did) http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1353558 [02:11] last night i had a problem that caused me to need to format and reinstall ubuntu 10.10, and currently 11.04 [02:12] today, i cant get it to work again..... following the instructions, here is the output after "make" http://pastebin.com/FJHpP8nY [02:56] hey. [02:57] paultag, you know how you told me to look for mkfs.etx? well the only files on the USB are ones that are supposed to be there. like music and stuff. there are no suspicious files at all. [03:03] does backtrack or another OS have any special tools for this sort of thing? [03:05] what sort of thing? [03:07] wiping a USB that refuses to be wiped with Gparted, dd, or MS security essentials (only free one i could find), just because a stupid virus has write protected it to keep itself safe. [03:08] Red-Raven: have you tried DBAN [03:08] no. what is it? [03:08] Red-Raven: it's a mass drive wiper [03:08] I will get a link [03:09] thx! [03:09] http://www.dban.org/ [03:09] any drives connected to a computer with the DBAN cd will be PERMANTLY erased [03:10] (well the data on them [03:10] ) [03:10] um, shouldn't i fear for my HDD in that case? [03:10] have you ever opened up a computer? [03:11] just unplug the hdd [03:11] its a laptop. any then i can't exactly run without it. [03:11] and to answer your question unless you start in interactiv mode your hdd will be wiped [03:12] o just MAKE SURE that you start in the interagtiv mode [03:13] then you can select witch drives to erace [03:15] Red-Raven: you getting all this? [03:15] is it a distro? [03:15] kinda [03:16] kinda-sorta-waybe-almost [03:16] *maybe [03:17] 1st: don't have a blank disk 2nd: i'd rather not risk wiping my HD if i don't know what im doing. [03:20] Red-Raven: well at least you know your last resort [03:21] yup. actually my last resort is a cinder block and gravity. that should remove this virus/ [03:21] .* [03:21] and destroy the USB drive [03:22] do DBAN first [03:22] which is why its my last resort [03:22] or find a friend who can [03:23] goodnight [03:25] night. === Guest90995 is now known as collinp [05:46] Hi I'm having trouble installing SSH with public keys for rsync [05:49] I ran "sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f /home/user/cron/a-rsync-key" on Ubuntu 10.04 and got the .pub file and the private key, then I did "sudo cat a-rsync-key.pub >>.ssh/authorized_keys" on the remote host [05:49] and now I'm stumped :/ [05:49] Where do I put the private key on the localhost? [05:53] i mean the source machine* [05:53] Flam: Do you mean the pgp key for launchpad [05:54] nope, it's for rsync. [05:55] ok [05:55] I'm trying to ssh to my server without a password [05:56] sorry i don't know an answer for that. [05:56] No problem, I guess I'll ask in #ubuntu :) [06:14] i have a samsung corby mobile. Kubuntu identify it as a imaging device always and sometime shows it as modem too. The problem the modem deduction is not stable all the time, sometimes it do and sometimes not. Im using this mobile as a modem which is having a 3g connection.Kppp is also not useful as it says can not open modem, where as the modem is loaded in /dev/ttyACM0 and 1 as well. wvdialconf is returning errorso how to go about from here [06:14] to make it more stable and use it without intermittancy [06:17] hi :) [06:18] sowwy, I use gnome's network-manager and it works perfectly with my mobile phone [06:18] if it doesnt, I reboot and works [06:18] kuttans, plug in your phone and reboot... sometimes that works ;) [06:19] rather unplug it [06:19] wait till you're logged in then plug it ;) [06:20] Daniel0108: i tried almost umpteen time that. The problem is it will detect sometimes and wont the other time. and suddenly one fine day i can see it in the knetworkmanager [06:21] hmm.. I use gnome-network-manager too and it works... [06:22] yeah it too works only at times Daniel0108 [06:22] oh [06:22] not always.... the problem is stability , i.e why it does recognise sometimes and othertimes not [06:23] is there a software for linux, for your mobile phone? [06:23] or just windows? [06:24] its a samsung corby and it dont have any linux driver at all [06:24] these vendors are morons that they dont give any driver for mac and linux [06:24] atleast not in india.... [06:27] kuttans, linux is not a serious OS yet ;) [06:27] it's something what glue sniffers and people with longhair uses [06:27] may be bioterror but i like this [06:28] atleast i dont get the guilty feeling of using any kinda pirated software [06:29] if its not a serious OS then i guess redhat must be a drowning ship right? [06:29] does anyone know what happened to the system tools menu in maverick [06:30] bioterror, linux is serious, because sony uses it for play station :) But nobody knows that, lol :P [06:31] Daniel0108, sony dropped support for it few updates ago? [06:32] bioterror, the PlayStation OS uses the linux kernel ;) [06:32] so does my tv, and my cellphone and my ebook reader [06:33] bioterror let me tell you one thing, this world is full of business men, they just manipulate everything which comes on their way [06:33] pleia2, soon you have MeeGo in your car ;) [06:33] so its all about how google, microsoft and oracle like corp want it and their co ords with intel and amd [06:34] they are trying to rob those dreams of the scientists who invented many things for good [06:34] kuttans, did you know that we live in a world which is run by capitalism [06:34] kuttans, if ubuntu would advertise at worldwide TV, it would become famous too ;) [06:35]
