[00:00] <sdfg> doesnt work with this old laptop :)
[00:00] <ether-boy> popey, help me find the driver. I have been looking for it since past few day but nothing positive. All I came to know about was few of the macbooks use the same hardware. Mine is a dell inspiron
[00:00] <Craigwell> smallR2003: there may be another reason it is hanging on you, but i would treat it as if you need to reinstall and reconfigure grub as that link explains first, and maybe it will work
[00:00] <popey> ether-boy: ah, sorry, i may be wrong, looks like that device doesnt work
[00:00] <cpetsch> anybody please?
[00:00] <popey> cpetsch: how much ram does the computer have?
[00:00]  * jasono is back (gone 00:07:59)
[00:00] <ether-boy> popey, is there any ray of hope? may be in the next release of ubuntu?
[00:01] <popey> ether-boy: file a bug :)
[00:01] <Craigwell> smallr2003: would virtualbox work for you to run xp within ubuntu? thats what i do now, i'm done with dual boot
[00:01] <cpetsch> 1gig
[00:01] <costas> hello everyone...
[00:01] <popey> cpetsch: an option would be to try the alternate cd
[00:01] <popey> jasono: please turn that script off
[00:01] <cpetsch> dont remember seeing an alternant cd on the download list
[00:01] <ether-boy> popey, I am a very beginner on this, I have no idea of where or how to file a bug?!!!
[00:01] <popey> cpetsch: see http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[00:02] <ether-boy> popey, let me make a search on this
[00:02] <jasono> popey I am sorry okey! Lets take this into ##devil if you wish
[00:02] <costas> I have a problem with my Ubuntu studio (amd64) 10.04 version, I'm an old debian user and used Ubuntu for sound post production...
[00:02] <popey> ether-boy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[00:02] <ether-boy> popey, thanks :)
[00:02] <sdfg> if I were to use unetbootin to install an ubuntu server, is netinstall the optimum selection ?
[00:02] <costas> after an upgrade, i have no sound...
[00:03] <popey> ether-boy: its not too hard, you need a launchpad account, and run "ubuntu-bug linux" in a terminal, follow the prompts :)
[00:03] <popey> sdfg: that works
[00:03] <costas> anyone?????
[00:03] <popey> sdfg: i have done that recently
[00:03] <ether-boy> popey, alright let me try then... :) thanks for the help
[00:03] <costas> HELLOOOOOOO
[00:04] <cpetsch> can i push this iso to the computer via a net install on partimage?
[00:04] <popey> ether-boy: good luck
[00:04] <costas> Anyone that is REALLY a linux expert in here?????
[00:04] <popey> costas: yes
[00:05] <costas> popey, the problem probably is my delta 1010 soundcard...
[00:05] <paisa__> unetbootin does not boot up when i restart :(
[00:05] <ether-boy> costas,  lol, everybody is an expert in himself :P :D
[00:05] <costas> hahahaha, I know...
[00:05] <SmallR2003> Craigwell, seems that batteries don't go on forever, sorry about that
[00:06] <popey> costas: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1596490 seen that?
[00:06] <Kaspi> hello
[00:06] <popey> SmallR2003: who knew!?
[00:06] <costas> it seems that ALSA isn't probably installed, or pulse audio does the damage...
[00:06] <costas> thanks popey, will try and see...
[00:07] <Kaspi> guys anyone using poedit? I'm missing the main menu bar in it...
[00:07] <SmallR2003> popey, not me because hp killed acpi so i have no idea of percentage left
[00:07] <costas> popey..., this ain't the solution man...
[00:07] <costas> it's just
[00:07] <costas> the problem I'm having...
[00:08] <KM0201> paisa__: have you tried a different thumb drive?... some thumb drives just dn't boot very well (ive' had some that do great, others that won't do it at all)
[00:08] <milamber> myradlife_: i don't have any experience with it, but this may be what you are looking for then: http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net
[00:08] <popey> heh SmallR2003
[00:08] <costas> seems that delta 1010 isn't supported, any hints?????
[00:08] <popey> costas: you say it worked previously, before upgrading?
[00:09] <Kaspi> I'll just try to reinstall it don't get what's wrong
[00:09] <costas> f#ck man, debian is better...
[00:09] <paisa__> KM0201, cant unetbooting use my hard drive as the thumb drive for booting up?
[00:09] <costas> yes popey
[00:09] <popey> costas: you're less likely to get help here if you abuse us
[00:09] <Daekdroom> !language | costas
[00:09] <popey> costas: if you prefer debian, use it
[00:09] <costas> I won't no worries man
[00:09] <SmallR2003> whatever i do i can't make windows boot :/
[00:10] <costas> that's why I used the ##### symbol. been using linux for decades
[00:10] <Daekdroom> It doesn't matter.
[00:10] <KM0201> paisa__: probably not... because 1.  it usualy formats a drive when unetbootin sets it up, and 2.  if you were gonna use it to install, you cant install toa mounted drive(and it would have to be mounted to boot)
[00:11] <SmallR2003> what if i switch from grub2 to grub... hmmm
[00:11] <costas> it's probably something about alsa, the soundcard module, pulseaudio, and jack... any ideas???
[00:11] <PKKid> Hey guys, anyone else having touble installing the update for "XUL + XPCOM application layer"??  Every time I try to get that update, it fails.
[00:11] <popey> costas: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[00:11] <Kaspi> damn! it's missing anyways
[00:11] <goviel> costas: this forum says its jack, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/m-audio-delta-1010lt-setup-questions-w-ubuntu-studio-593832/
[00:12] <costas> thank you again popey... will check and see and get back to you
[00:12] <cpetsch> what would cause a computer to reboot consenstently using ubuntu but not System Rescue CD?
[00:13] <myradlife_> milamber, Looks like that doesn't work on OS X either.
[00:15] <costas> popey, my system doesn't RECOGNISE any more my soundcard, the "ubuntu-bug audio" doesn't find anymore my delta 1010 soundcard, and that's the problem.....
[00:15] <Kaspi> is there any else channel with even more people than this one on the freenode btw? :)
[00:15] <costas> any ideas people -without compromising my Ubuntu?
[00:15] <usr13> Kaspi: Probably not.
[00:16] <Kaspi> costas: is your sound card driver installed properly?
[00:16] <Kaspi> costas: and is it loaded to the kernel?
[00:16] <costas> yes, it worked perfectly when I installed the Ubuntu studio ISO
[00:16] <KM0201> Kaspi: it's unlikely, but if your'e using xchat, you can see a list of all xchat channels
[00:16] <KM0201> *freenode channels
[00:17] <Kaspi> KM0201: I'm using piding and last time i tried to list the rooms, it crashed gnome, so I'm rather not trying to anymore
[00:18] <KM0201> Kaspi: at the moment, it looksl ike #ubuntu is first, 2nd is #archlinux(941), 3rd #debian(898, 4th is gentoo(866), and 5th is ##linux(832)
[00:18] <Kaspi> (because of so many channels)
[00:18] <costas> I'll probably have to reinstall alsa... what do you think popey?
[00:18] <KM0201> Kaspi: thats because pidgin, while a great IM client, sucks as an IRC client
[00:19] <popey> costas: i dont know without going through the debugging steps
[00:19] <_AV_> Hi, I'm trying to erase completely a read-only device, a HUAWEI MODEM E156B but I can't. It is protected. What can I do?
[00:19] <popey> costas: randomly reinstalling packages rarely fixes stuff
[00:19] <ether-boy> popey,  i guess the bug has already been filed before. Can you please check and confirm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/548720
[00:19] <Craigwell> can i just copy the /etc from my old 10.04 on a failing drive to my fresh install on a new drive?
[00:19] <KM0201> _AV_: a lot of people come in here complaining about that device(or maybe its always you?)..... i've yet to see a solution to getting them working..
[00:19] <DJCharlie> _AV_: if it's READ only, then you can't erase it.
[00:20] <Kaspi> costas: you did not answer my question... is the driver now installed properly (do you know how to find out?) and loaded to the system?
[00:20] <Craigwell> i had /home on a separate partition backed up, so no problems there
[00:20] <Dakrav> is gpg the file encryption tool?
[00:20] <sanduz2> how can i find out what is running on a certain port in my system?
[00:20] <popey> ether-boy: looks that way
[00:20] <costas> no, I am no newbie... but the problem is the module, any good app that will FORCE install the module?
[00:20] <popey> ether-boy: I wonder if my mac has the same chip, will check in the morning. you can subscribe to that bug to follow progress
[00:20] <_AV_> Is the first time I'm asking for it, in this channel.
[00:21] <Kaspi> costas: and the problem is?
[00:21] <milamber> sanduz2: nmap
[00:21] <KM0201> _AV_: ok... wasn't being accusatory.. but questions w/ that device come up a LOT, and i've yet to see a solution to fix the problem.
[00:21] <costas> let me try something else and I'll get back to you, thanks for all the help, will chat later man
[00:21] <Kaspi> How to get the menu bar in poedit back? :P

[00:26] <crx> can you speak chinese
[00:26] <cpetsch> so the possable solution to my problem is to try the alternant install cd?

[00:29] <costas> will investigate more, and write the results... bb

[00:30] <milamber> sanduz2: is it port 4000?

[00:30] <doc-donkey> i can burn a CD but the driver wont recognise or aknowledge blank dvds
[00:31] <milamber> sanduz2: http://www.twd-industries.com/
[00:31] <dodgy_script> player, so you have sound then
[00:31] <cpetsch> and i asked a quick question after that to which i got no answer ... i am sorry if i am seeming rude. My question being can i push a raw image to a computer via ethernet using partimage? i do not have the ability to burn cds at the moment.
[00:31] <milamber> jimisvrox: add a & after the prog name
[00:31] <Kaspi> Sterist: first you should know the applications path, then you open Applications > Ascensories > Terminal (or how's the path in english)... then you write there the app's path... such as /home/youruser/Desktop/yourapplication
[00:31] <Rallias> cpetsch: can you write to a USB disk?
[00:31] <sanduz2> milamber, looks dangerous lol
[00:31] <popey> cpetsch: yes, you can, I have done that with clonezilla
[00:31] <estacion03> how can i connect to a windows lan
[00:32] <cpetsch> rallias tried that ... same results. the disk however checks out fine when i run that option
[00:32] <player> i have problems whit videos and music
[00:32] <Rallias> cpetsch: I'd install ubuntu or something with a VM to a USB disk then move it over to the computer you need to install on and DD it on disk.
[00:32] <player> the time move much faster
[00:32] <Kaspi> Sterist: if the application is a shell script (if it beggins witch #!/something), you will also need to set it rights for execution (right click, properties, rights and there you check it)
[00:32] <DJCharlie> cpetsch: correct me if i'm wrong, but are you trying to install an operating system from a .iso file?
[00:33] <player> can sumbudy help me
[00:33] <Rallias> player: yes?
[00:33] <DJCharlie> player: details would be nice.
[00:33] <estacion03> how can i connect to a windows lan
[00:33] <_AV_> !drivers | player
[00:33] <Rallias> estacion03: Look under nautilus for network

[00:33] <jimisrvrox> thanks Pici ...one other thing here...for whatever reason..when I got openbox from the repo's..right click and no debian menu..I have another ubuntu box that I swear I did the same thing on and it has the deb menu..I also do not have a ~/.config/openbox folder either..wtf is up?
[00:33] <KM0201> estacion03: plug in an cat6 cable
[00:33] <Kaspi> Anyone else here having Poedit installed?
[00:34] <jrib> KM0201: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)

[00:34] <jrib> erm
[00:34] <costas> hello again people...
[00:34] <KM0201> jrib: ?..lol
[00:34] <jrib> Kaspi: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[00:34] <martijn_dekker> Hey all, I have a problem getting Tuxguitar and Jack to play sound while LMMS simply works
[00:34] <cpetsch> djcharlie i have burnt the iso as an image to a disk as well as a usb drive. i can get the system get to the install or try option but when ever i go to do either the system reboots.
[00:34]  * KM0201 is a newb  ;)
[00:34] <Kaspi> jrib: this is the actual question
[00:34] <martijn_dekker> Also, youtube vids and login sounds and such.. work too
[00:34] <Rallias> cpetsch: Did you remove the removable media when it told you to?
[00:34] <costas> I did a modprobe, and it says:
[00:34] <DJCharlie> cpetsch: any error messages? or just a hard reboot?

[00:35] <jrib> Kaspi: no it's not.  Because the answer will be "yes" and THEN you will ask your real question :/
[00:35] <Craigwell> jrib: would you mind helping me out a last little bit with my backup/restore project?
[00:35] <costas> any ideas?????
[00:35] <jrib> Craigwell: what's up?
[00:35] <Kaspi> jrib: then I will ask the somebody to open and check if he's got a menu bar there
[00:35] <cpetsch> rallias never got to that option.. just reboots
[00:35] <martijn_dekker> Soo.. I was wondering if someone could help
[00:35] <jrib> Kaspi: so just ask that.
[00:35] <costas> (I have to rebuild the modules, probably...)
[00:35] <DJCharlie> cpetsch: that sounds like buggy/bad hardware.
[00:35] <Rallias> cpetsch: Remove the removable media then reboot again.
[00:36] <DJCharlie> player: please do not /msg me.
[00:36] <Craigwell> jrib: there are several configuration issues that make me want to use my old /etc folder for my fresh install, but two questions come to mind: what is the best way to do this, and should i let update manager run ?
[00:36] <Kaspi> jrib: both questions will lead to the same result
[00:36] <Rallias> cpetsch: In my experience, you will find a perfectly working operating system waiting for use.
[00:36] <Craigwell> jrib: my current fresh 10.04 install is off the disc, not net install
[00:36] <cpetsch> djcharlie no error messages just a reboot  whenever i get to xserver or the timezone option on install.
[00:36] <jrib> Kaspi: no, question 2 yields the same result as question 2 + question 1 so no point in question 1.  But see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poedit/+bug/672084 about your issue :)
[00:36] <Kaspi> jrib: anyways, you are right in general meaning
[00:36] <DJCharlie> Rallias: i think his system is rebooting before the final stage.
[00:37] <Rallias> cpetsch: Did you select install or livecd at the first screen
[00:37] <DJCharlie> cpetsch: check for bad ram.
[00:37] <cpetsch> ralliash alright... let it finish out this run of memory check no errors so far
[00:37] <Rallias> DJCharlie: I see that now.
[00:37] <Craigwell> jrib: i note you mentioned leaving fstab alone, are there other considerations? this is what i'm thinking: boot via usb off of old hd, use nautilus to copy /etc to new drive..
[00:37] <cpetsch> rallias i have tried both options with the same ending .. a reboot before i get to xserver
[00:37] <Rallias> cpetsch: If you go through livecd, it doesn't have the reboot isue.
[00:37] <DJCharlie> i dealt with that very issue on new year's day. ended up being a bad motherboard.
[00:37] <Rallias> well... thats odd.
[00:37] <costas> The only drawback I found using Ubuntu is the soundcard, will fix it and let you know...
[00:38] <cpetsch> djcharlie could it be a bad video card causing this ?
[00:38] <costas> even if I have to compile the module myself...
[00:38] <jrib> Craigwell: you should run update-manager yes.  Maybe a recursive diff with the -q option run on both /etc/ directories will tell you what files have changed and give you some hints as to what you want to copy over
[00:38] <Rallias> cpetsch: Does it ask you to install restricted drivers?
[00:38] <DJCharlie> cpetsch: possibly.
[00:38] <cpetsch> rallias i try to go to the livecd option but it reboots as soon as it gets to xserver
[00:39] <DJCharlie> cpetsch: most likely culprit is ram though.
[00:39] <cpetsch> rallias i havent seen it ask that as of yet but its odd that i can live boot system rescue cd perfectly fine
[00:39] <Rallias> cpetsch: does it work with any other OS?
[00:39] <costas> it was the snd-ice1712 module, after all... somebody smack me... hahahahaha
[00:39] <DJCharlie> so folks, anyone have a suggestion on fixing this: http://pastebin.com/3rSSaRMD ? 15 hours is way too long.
[00:39] <Rallias> cpetsch:I can't help then.

[00:42] <DJCharlie> doodoo: depends a lot on the hardware. are you sure it -can- be controlled?
[00:42] <cpetsch> djcharlie ouch critical server or a backup?
[00:42] <DJCharlie> cpetsch: both, actually.
[00:43] <DJCharlie> cpetsch: we have to index our music collection -daily-
[00:43] <doodoo> DJCharlie, Yes. There is package in repo also - i8kutils. But I don't know how to use it
[00:43] <cpetsch> djcharlie ouch ...
[00:43] <DJCharlie> doodoo: install it, then man i8kutils
[00:44] <doodoo> DJCharlie, I installed it but how to use it? Its not in application menu.
[00:45] <aeon-ltd> doodoo: my advice, if your planning on restricting the fan speed under normal find others ways to cool it, if not continue
[00:45] <DJCharlie> doodoo: google is your friend: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631193
[00:46] <doodoo> aeon-ltd, fan runs all the time...even if temp is as low as 30-30 c
[00:46] <DJCharlie> doodoo: the temp is that low BECAUSE the fan runs.
[00:46] <DJCharlie> doodoo: this is a good thing.
[00:47] <cpetsch> djcharlie thanks for all the help and advice.
[00:47] <cpetsch> rallias thanks for all the help and advice.
[00:47] <doodoo> DJCharlie, Uhm....it runs all the time...even if I start laptop after 10 hours. The fan never stops

[00:49] <SoupOrSonic> ok thanks sirs
[00:49] <DJCharlie> doodoo: as one of our DJs is so fond of saying... <@JohnnyFever> CPUs now output as much heat per unit area as many actual heating elements. Unfortunatley, CPUs don't work well when they're glowing.
[00:49] <yeats> olskolirc: do /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:50] <olskolirc> i did yeats and it says i can not send to channel

[00:51] <sdfg> jrib, any way I could have a fresh ubuntu server setup without cd/usb/pxe ?
[00:51] <sdfg> like from command line
[00:51] <sdfg> or any way to go to the first state during installing the server
[00:51] <jrib> sdfg: why?
[00:51] <player> how do you fix the problem with  videos they're two times as fast as normal
[00:52] <DJCharlie> sdfg: wipe and reinstall?
[00:52] <sdfg> jrib, my server is now full with so many things I will never need, i just want it to server as http server
[00:52] <sdfg> DJCharlie, doesnt boot with usb, and dont have a writable cd atm
[00:52] <jrib> sdfg: why can't you use a cd or usb to reinstall?  That's the easiest way
[00:54] <sdfg> I dont know why unetbooting doesnt load up first but boots up ubuntu
[00:54] <DJCharlie> ok folks, i'm really desperate here. 17 hours since i started this run, and it's barely up to "B".
[00:55] <imsky> hey i'm having problems with fullscreen games running at a low resolution, i can see the image only partially. i'm running linux mint 9 with the current nvidia drivers.
[00:55] <DJCharlie> so can someone please help me fix this blasted script? http://pastebin.com/3rSSaRMD
[00:55] <jrib> DJCharlie: try #bash, but actually mention how it's broken
[00:55] <DJCharlie> jrib: tried that. sat there for an hour.
[00:55] <_AV_> Bye people.
[00:56] <jrib> DJCharlie: that's the right place for help scripting in bash
[00:56] <DJCharlie> basically, there's 2 bottlenecks. findtakes ages, and then actually getting the length takes even longer.
[00:56] <player>  ow do you fix the problem with videos or music they're two times as fast as normal
[00:56] <Snakkah> Can anyone point me to the file(s) that determines the sound when you login?
[00:57] <Snakkah> I mean the sound file for that African theme.
[00:57] <Snakkah> I'm wondering if there's a way to change it.
[00:58] <ZykoticK9> Snakkah, /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo
[00:59] <sdfg> isnt there a wubi thing for ubuntu itself? cause wubi installs ubuntu without cd/usb for windows
[01:00] <ZykoticK9> Snakkah, simply replace the file desktop-login.ogg with an ogg of the sound you want.
[01:00] <My-Computer> i know where my power settings are and have them set to stay on always but the percentage of battery power to consider itself low is what i need to change how do i do that
[01:00] <Snakkah> ZykoticK9, that's what I thought. Would I need to rename the file I want as "desktop-login.ogg"?
[01:00] <nooby1222> help! I think I made a bad entry in /etc/fstab and now I am rebooting and its hung.  how can I get around this to fix fstab?
[01:00] <player> can some on help me i have probleme whit movies and music
[01:01] <ZykoticK9> Snakkah, ya - it's a hack but replacing the file with another ogg of the same name desktop-login.ogg works fine.
[01:01] <usr13> nooby1222: Just edit the file.
[01:01] <player> can some one help me whit alsa
[01:01] <gmg> hi can anyone help me with an issue I have pleased

[01:08] <DexterF> what the HELL happened to aptitude in 10.10?!
[01:08] <ZykoticK9> DexterF, you can apt-get install it if you wish
[01:08] <DexterF> man, DAMN it with canoncials and their stupid package slaying
[01:09] <ZykoticK9> DexterF, no one is forcing you to use ubuntu, there are lots of other distros out there.
[01:10] <rww> and nobody's stopping you from installing whichever packages you want after you finish installing Ubuntu
[01:10] <gmg> Im new to Linux but damm it much better than Windows...I'm so proud to see their are so many people struggling like me
[01:10] <mastahyeti> what package do I need to get the old netcat (the one where I could use the -e to execute a shell upon connection)?
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> mastahyeti: run:  dpkg -S netcat
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> mastahyeti: it'll tell you
[01:11] <mastahyeti> thanks
[01:11] <chasis> guys hi, how can i delete the evolution applet?
[01:11] <Pici> DexterF: Its not installed by default, just install it yourself.
[01:11] <JAMES_698> hey
[01:11] <My-Computer> i want to lower the battery power setting percentage before its considered critically low how do i do that
[01:11] <JAMES_698> ubuntu sucks
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> chasis: do you mean the envelope in the notification area?
[01:11] <rww> JAMES_698: Okay. Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[01:11] <chasis> i mean that nasty icon
[01:11] <bazhang> JAMES_698, wrong channel for you then
[01:11] <bazhang> chasis, right click remove from panel
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> chasis: can you expand on your question please
[01:12] <qianli> who can help me !
[01:12] <JAMES_698> qianli i can
[01:12] <chasis> ok, i want to delete the icon that comes with the volume icon
[01:12] <JAMES_698> dont use ubunut
[01:12] <JAMES_698> ubuntu
[01:12] <JAMES_698> switch to windows NT
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> qianli: nobody if you dont ask a question...
[01:12] <bazhang> JAMES_698, thats not helpful
[01:12] <Pici> qianli: We didn't understand your question.
[01:13] <gmg> can somehelp me with Rhythmbox...creating OPML files (Favotite Radio Playlist)
[01:13] <chasis> http://howto-ubuntu.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/ia.png you see? i want to delete that icon
[01:14] <rww> Isn't that one of the ones you can right-click and select Remove from Panel?
[01:14] <DexterF> Pici: and then it has no tab completion
[01:14] <chasis> i can't, if i do that i lose volumen icon
[01:14] <rww> or did indicator applets break that too :(
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> JAMES_698: WinNT 4 support ended in 2004, so installing NT is not a wise move
[01:14] <DexterF> seriuosly, whats wrong with these people, how can one pluck aptitude from a debian derivate
[01:14] <rww> chasis: ah. fun.
[01:14] <rww> ActionParsnip: technically, Windows 7 is still Windows NT.
[01:14] <gmg> check in you startup app
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: its still in the reops, it's just optional now
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> rww: technically, yes
[01:15] <ZykoticK9> chasis, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages
[01:15] <chasis> but i only want to remove this one
[01:15] <chasis> not all
[01:15] <rww> DexterF: We needed more space on the install CD, and having two command-line package managers was redundant, so we removed the one that's used less and has more dependencies.
[01:15] <ZykoticK9> chasis, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> chasis: ZykoticK9 gave the command you need
[01:15] <rww> DexterF: I use aptitude. It took me less time to install it than you've spent complaining :\
[01:16] <gmg> how can I customize an Linux Installation?
[01:16] <chasis> oki, now what, close sesion?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> rww: exactly
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> !customize | gmg
[01:16] <DexterF> rww: that doesnt change a thing about what I said regarding ubuntu being a debian derivate
[01:16] <bazhang> !remaster > gmg
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> !remaster
[01:16] <chasis> brb
[01:17] <DexterF> rww: which one would be the other one anyway? apt-get is deprecated
[01:17] <gmg> Imwould like to boot from a usb stick bur customize my own backgroud and stuff
[01:17] <m4v> DexterF: is not.
[01:17] <DexterF> m4v: according to debian is
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: how is it depreciated?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: debian isnt ubuntu
[01:17] <m4v> DexterF: install aptitude then
[01:17] <bazhang> gmg, remaster the iso then put on usb stick
[01:18] <oneliner> !kernel
[01:18] <DexterF> m4v: did. has no tab completion. annoys me.
[01:18] <m4v> DexterF: and Debian only recommends aptitude over apt-get, it isn't deprecated.
[01:18] <bc81> hello.  is there some way to integrate thunderbird into the mail icon in the tray?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> !info apt-get natty
[01:18] <rww> DexterF: apt-get isn't deprecated in Debian, either. aptitude is just preferred for most stuff. See, for example, /join #debian; /msg dpkg squeeze->lenny
[01:18] <rww> sorry, lenny->squeeze
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[01:18] <rww> ActionParsnip: apt, iirc.
[01:18] <bazhang> !find apt
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> rww: yeah, just noticed ;)
[01:18] <mastahyeti> ActionParsnip dpkg -S netcat just gave me the location of a few example scripts. I am trying to figure out why the version of netcat that come with ubuntu doesn't allow the "netcat -e /bin/bash" type executing of programs upon connections... any thoughts?
[01:18] <gmg> I have done that but still have  the linux background. Iwould like to redesign the installation
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> mastahyeti: not something ive used dude, sorry
[01:19] <bazhang> gmg, the theme?
[01:19] <gmg> yes
[01:19] <mastahyeti> ActionParsnip, thanks
[01:19] <JAMES_698> :D
[01:19] <bazhang> gmg, then remaster it again with the theme change
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> remaster just for a theme, bit OTT if you ask me
[01:20] <gmg> I did that aswell but it the same default theme
[01:20] <bazhang> gmg, remastered how
[01:20] <mastahyeti> I am trying to figure out why the version of netcat that comes with ubuntu doesn't allow the "netcat -e /bin/bash" type executing of programs upon connections. Thoughts? Suggestions? Feelings?
[01:20] <chasis> i solve, now i don't have that stupid icon, thanks guys
[01:21] <gmg> Made the distro ISO and file system then used Unetbootin
[01:21] <bc81> !latest | mastahyeti
[01:21] <bazhang> gmg, made the distro ISO how
[01:22] <gmg> used remastersys
[01:22] <bazhang> gmg, then check with remastersys support
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> mastahyeti: is the functionality new, in a newer version?
[01:22] <playere> s praat
[01:22] <playere> praat iemand hier nederlands
[01:23] <rww> !nl | playere
[01:23] <gmg> it doesnt give an option...only rename ISO name and stuff
[01:23] <bazhang> gmg, then thats not what you want. check the remaster link I sent you
[01:23] <playere> alles goed
[01:23] <gmg> where can I find that?
[01:24] <playere> hallo alles goed
[01:24] <GeekyAdam> im not on my server right now to test anything, but does anyone know how to enable wlan0 in ubuntu server? i see the hardware and it looks recognized/installed properly, but ifconfig doesnt show it. a link to a tutorial would be much appreciated.
[01:24] <bazhang> playere, english here
[01:24] <bazhang> !remaster > gmg
[01:24] <bazhang> !wifi | GeekyAdam check here

[01:25] <GeekyAdam> bazhang: thx
[01:25] <playere> can some one help me
[01:25] <GeekyAdam> ActionParsnip: i dont think so, like i said i cant get on my server from here (on my phone at a bar right now haha)
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> GeekyAdam: if you see networks then the device has a driver, you can then install wicd and use wicd-curses to get connected easily :)
[01:25] <playere> i am on youtube right now
[01:26] <GeekyAdam> ActionParsnip: wicd, got it
[01:26] <costas> hello all

[01:26] <tweefari> I'm having a bit of trouble. It compiled properly, but it won't run complaining http://paste2.org/p/1198097
[01:27] <gartral> ubuntu imagewriter isn't doing anything
[01:27] <gmg> Thanks..I needed that
[01:27] <tdebaets> my ubuntu system doesnt recognize the : command in shell scripts that are run under sudo anymore
[01:28] <ZykoticK9> tweefari, is it mplayer that you compiled?  if so, why - it's in the repo.
[01:28] <playere> does somen one know somthing about alsa oss sound outpot
[01:28] <playere> or lmms
[01:28] <dodgy_script> playere,  you need to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:28] <bazhang> playere, ask a more specific question
[01:28] <tdebaets> this results in errors when updating packages, and when suspending/hibernating
[01:28] <tdebaets> any ideas?
[01:28] <gmg> The other thing is how to create OPML files for Rhythmbox...How do i do that?
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> tdebaets: how do you mean? If you need admin access in a script, just add sudo in the script then run the whole script with sudo
[01:28] <costas> playere: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound
[01:29] <panoukla> hello, is there a way to change permissions on a NTFS filesystem?
[01:29] <ZykoticK9> tdebaets, what is the ":" command?  Are you sure you don't mean to use ";"?
[01:29] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip: hang on, ill post the commands that show the problem
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> panoukla: you can set the owner when you mount
[01:29] <tdebaets> ZykoticK9: ":" means NULL in shell scripts
[01:30] <My-Computer> any one know how to lower the battery power percentage needed to consider the system critically low  in lucid
[01:30] <ZykoticK9> tdebaets, interesting, sorry i'm not familiar - best of luck.
[01:30] <GeekyAdam> panoukla: yeah u have to do it when u mount it, cant change anything after its mounted
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> My-Computer: try the power options under system -> prefs (or it may be system -> admin)
[01:30] <Jello_Raptor> I need some help with getting either the Wubi install process or the ubuntu livecd to see my hard drive, it looks to be a sata problem. Anyone mind helping? and can we take it to pm so as not to pollute this channel?
[01:30] <ecret> i want to 're make' a application. When I just make it, it uses the old one.  How do I force it?
[01:30] <^Mike\b> ecret: make clean?
[01:30] <gmg> Whre can I report a Ubuntu Bug?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> Jello_Raptor: keep it in the channel so more eyes can see
[01:30] <ecret> damn thats it
[01:30] <ecret> thanks
[01:31] <panoukla> ActionParsnip GeekyAdam, exactly how is that done, sorry new to linux :(
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> !bug | gmg
[01:31] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/G3Ci5sct
[01:31] <Jello_Raptor> ActionParsnip: ahh ok
[01:31] <GeekyAdam> panoukla: its a process. i had to google awhile to learn it
[01:31] <panoukla> kk, ill check it out. thanks :)
[01:32] <DexterF> anyone running the xorg-edgers packages? are they stable for daily use?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> tdebaets: i'd ask in #bash too, I've not heard of this : notation
[01:32] <Jello_Raptor> basically, when i boot into the liveCD or into the wubi install, none of the /dev/sd* are mountable. Though they are visible with "ls /dev/"
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: no they arent stable at all, its very experimental
[01:32] <Jello_Raptor> it's a sata 3 hard drive if that's a rpbolem
[01:32] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip: will do
[01:32] <Jello_Raptor> problem*
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: it is necessary in some cases but your driver may not work with the version of xorg it gives
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> Jello_Raptor: if you run:  lspci   you will see the model of SATA controller and can see if there are guides for them / it
[01:33] <DexterF> ActionParsnip: well, it's just that the ones that come with the dist are outdated
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: it's your choice, the X server is working isn't it?
[01:34] <DexterF> ActionParsnip: its for a video box and hence should run vdpau the best it can
[01:34] <^Mike\b> When I try to change the theme on my desktop, it isn't applied properly. I've tried reinstalling my theme and icon packages, but that didn't help. What more can I do?
[01:34] <DexterF> on this 9.10 box here I have a lot of problems since I swapped cards so I was considering upgrading to 10.04 and slam xorg-edgers in
[01:34] <My-Computer> i have the  preferences set to stay on but it considers itself critically low at 2hrs left i need to lower that
[01:35] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, is the correct engine for the theme installed?
[01:35] <Jello_Raptor> ActionParsnip: once i have the model of the controller are there any search terms i should use?
[01:35] <gartral> ubuntu imagewriter isn't doing anything, i gave it a chrome image, and the right sdcard, but it just sits
[01:36] <DexterF> I'd greatly appreciate if ubuntu had a repository for software that changes very rapidly like video drivers
[01:36] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: I assume so - *none* of the themes apply themselves correctly. I'm stuck on the fugly fallback theme you get when you do `gksudo gedit` etc
[01:36] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, here is a list: apt-cache search gtk2-engines
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> Jello_Raptor: <model of controller here> ubuntu   , should do it
[01:36] <bazhang> DexterF, thats PPA and extras.ubuntu.com repo
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: the vdpau team ppa may help
[01:37] <DexterF> ActionParsnip: never heard of. where..?
[01:37] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip: in #bash, they redirect me back to here
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: you'll find it if you search
[01:37] <DexterF> ActionParsnip: did
[01:37] <DexterF> thanks
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> tdebaets: well thats messed up, you are using bash scripts...
[01:37] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, the default theme uses an engine in the following package : gtk2-engines
[01:37] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip: i am?
[01:37] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: I just reinstalled it - no change :\
[01:38] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip: its the scripts used by ubuntu...
[01:38] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip: [02:37] <e36freak> you need to fix your bash installation or permissions, but that's OS specific
[01:38] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, are you using gnome?
[01:38] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: yes
[01:39] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, try logging in with another user. if this works there is something wrong in your configfiles
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> tdebaets: sounds like it to me
[01:39] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: will do
[01:39] <induz> can someone please suggest a site to learn how to make a template on OO>?
[01:39] <induz> I am using OO on LUcid
[01:39] <IdleOne> openoffice.org
[01:39] <bazhang> #openoffice.org induz
[01:40] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip: any idea how to fix the bash installation or permissions?
[01:40] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: AHA!! It does work on a guest user! :D
[01:41] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, i can't tell you how to fix it without getting rid of your config alltogether
[01:41] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: If you can point me to where this configuration is stored, I'll try poking around in there a bit.
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> tdebaets: not sure man, i've never seen this : thing you mention although my bash knowledge is limited to little scripts for an easy life
[01:43] <Pici> tdebaets: Are you using bash as your login shell?
[01:43] <tdebaets> Pici: pretty sure i am, never changed it
[01:43] <My-Computer> is there an .config file for the power settings
[01:44] <Pici> tdebaets: is that what echo $SHELL says?
[01:44] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, don't know. somewhere in .gconf/   or   .config/
[01:44] <tdebaets> Pici: yes, "/bin/bash"
[01:45] <tdebaets> Pici: bash itself is a symlink to dash, as default in ubuntu
[01:45] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: ok, I'll have a peek
[01:45] <tdebaets> in /var/log/pm-suspend.log, i see the following: 95anacron: 22: :: not found
[01:46] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: thanks, trying another user account was smart, i should have thought of that
[01:46] <gmg> how do I copy a folder to the file system (sudo doesnt work)
[01:46] <Pici> tdebaets: No. bash itself should be bash. /bin/sh is a symlink to dash
[01:46] <DexterF> gmg: which command did you use?
[01:46] <DexterF> entire line I mean
[01:47] <Pici> tdebaets: Also, have you tried testing with a #!/bin/bash at the top of your test file?
[01:47] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, .gconf/apps/metacity/   i think this is it.
[01:47] <tdebaets> Pici: ah yes, i got confused, sry
[01:47] <gmg> tar -xzvf skype-plugin-0-2.tgz -C ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/
[01:47] <tdebaets> Pici: will try that now
[01:48] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to get nautilus ot send FTP keepalives?
[01:48] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, seems like it's not the only thing though .gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/
[01:49] <Telegraphs> What is a good book on ubuntu server administration? Other than the docs. I'm already a bit experienced. Other than, the official docs.
[01:49] <maverick_> hi i have something weird that keeps flashing when i start up. after i log in this program keeps flashing on and off really fast. when im able to catch it.. it says "username" in a small box
[01:49] <gmg> you have a virusha ha ha ha
[01:49] <tdebaets> Pici: it works with that line added
[01:49] <Telegraphs> maverick_: hit ctrl + alt + f2 and tell me if that looks familiar? hit ctrl + alt + f7 to come back or f8... forget which
[01:49] <arch3angel> i am trying to get a usb device paired in ubuntu can anyone help?
[01:50] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: Yeah, a search for 'theme' shows lots of results...
[01:50] <Telegraphs> maverick_: you can also get there with sudo chvt <#>
[01:50] <gmg> it tells me folder doesnt exits...cant i just copy the folder to that location?
[01:50] <Telegraphs> you need to make the destination directory first
[01:50] <maverick_> telegraphs it just made my screen flash once. that wasnt it though
[01:50] <Telegraphs> maverick_: on boot?
[01:50] <gmg> I can see the directory
[01:51] <gmg> but dont have access to the folder
[01:51] <tdebaets> Pici: with "#!/bin/sh", same error again
[01:51] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, should just be the 2 directories i gave you.
[01:51] <Telegraphs> paste: your cp command, and the output of ls -ld <destdir>
[01:51] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, seems like it's not the only thing though .gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/
[01:51] <maverick_> telegraphs do you want me to press ctrl alt f2 at boot?
[01:51] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, .gconf/apps/metacity/   i think this is it.
[01:51] <arch3angel> anyone good with bluetooth
[01:51] <Telegraphs> maverick_: no, press it now to see the console. I think that's what you're seeing at boot
[01:51] <Telegraphs> maverick_: is just your tty before X takes over
[01:51] <Jello_Raptor> ActionParsnip: thanks much, i've found what i needed and got it working :D
[01:52] <arch3angel> i really need some help with this bluetooth issue
[01:52] <sam-_-> arch3angel, bluetooth? why did you say usb device then?
[01:52] <sam-_-> !patience | arch3angel
[01:52] <gmg> bluetooth?
[01:52] <maverick_> telegraphs no this is just a small program that looks like it is starting over and over again when im logged in. i can log in and it just appears in my task bar flashing
[01:52] <arch3angel> sorry sam just been working on this all day
[01:52] <DexterF> hmm. fresh install of 10.10, installed nvidia-glx-185 via command line, now system comes up in 800x600 and no glx at all
[01:52] <arch3angel> here goes the explaination
[01:52] <Telegraphs> maverick_: "in your task bar"?
[01:53] <Telegraphs> maverick_: like a gnome panel?
[01:53] <maverick_> telegraphs yes.
[01:53] <Telegraphs> and it says, "username"?
[01:53] <Telegraphs> what happens if you click it?
[01:53] <arch3angel> i have an iogear usb->bluetooth adapter in my laptop which is ubuntu -- I then have a serial->bluetooth adapter attached to a card read that only transmitts data out bound
[01:53] <Telegraphs> try right clicking it and removing it from the panel. If you have to, try deleting the whole panel and making a new one.
[01:53] <maverick_> it flashes so fast,but when i can catch it... it is just a small box that says "username" then when i click off it goes away
[01:54] <bucky> maverick_, you probably selected to login automatically on boot up and that's why it by passes the login screen like that
[01:54] <arch3angel> i must get the data being sent out the card reader to be seen in the ubuntu laptop via bluetooth
[01:54] <maverick_> bucky i put my password in
[01:54] <arch3angel> i cant seem to find out if i even have them paired correctly which i dont believe i do
[01:54] <maverick_> can you post links to screenshots here?
[01:55] <bucky> maverick_, when you installed did you choose the option to login automatically
[01:55] <gmg> Have you updated your bluetooth drivers?
[01:55] <maverick_> bucky no i dont login automatically
[01:55] <bucky> !paste
[01:55] <arch3angel> gmg, how would i know if it is the latest - it is a brand new install of ubuntu with all updates in update manager
[01:56] <sam-_-> arch3angel, i don't understand the serial bluetooth adapter part. could you elaborate?
[01:56] <nv1dia> ANyone run into a problem where a mouse is recognized as a keyboard?
[01:56] <maverick_> ill see if ic an get a snapshot.
[01:56] <arch3angel> the mobile device is a card reader - it communicates via a serial connection to a terminal like hyperterm in windows
[01:57] <sam-_-> nv1dia, so if your mouse moves you are actually typing?
[01:57] <nv1dia> $ Xinput list says "Newman USB Gaming Mouse" [XExtensionKeyboard] anyone run into a problem like this?
[01:57] <tdebaets> Pici: any more suggestions?
[01:57] <DexterF> dmesg here says [   10.156093] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module  260.19.06  Mon Sep 13 06:35:06 PDT 2010
[01:57] <nv1dia> No, the mouse just doesnt move at all.
[01:57] <arch3angel> this is attached to a bluetooth device which transmitts data to the laptop
[01:57] <DexterF> but there's no 260 module in maverick and I didnt install it manually. so where does this come from?
[01:57] <Blue1> spank its bottom
[01:57] <Carl0s-> +i means nickserv is happy, right?
[01:57] <nv1dia> this is a laptop, and i am able to use the synaptics touchpad though.
[01:57] <gmg> you got me sorry man
[01:57] <arch3angel> sam-_-, does that make sense
[01:58] <gmg> not really
[01:58] <sam-_-> arch3angel, so you got the bluetooth adapter directly plugged into the card reader?
[01:58] <sacarlson> DexterF: it apears to be the nvidia propriatary driver,  you want to turn it off?
[01:58] <arch3angel> yes
[01:59] <arch3angel> and it is in discovery mode
[01:59] <gmg> why don't you use a usb port?
[01:59] <arch3angel> just cant get the laptop and the adapter to pair up and transfer the data - also not sure what tty it uses
[01:59] <DexterF> sacarlson: no, I need it. but there is no version 260 in maverick, I wonder where this comes from. I installed 185 but X deosnt come up right
[01:59] <arch3angel> when connected directly it uses ttyusb0 for example
[02:00] <sacarlson> DexterF: it's in ppa
[02:00] <tweefari> hi
[02:00] <gmg> but does it work then?
[02:00] <DexterF> sacarlson: I didn't install any ppa on this machine
[02:00] <C3D> hey im looking for a little help im a noob
[02:00] <sam-_-> arch3angel, are you trolling me?
[02:00] <arch3angel> no dude i sware
[02:00] <arch3angel> been trying to get this done all day
[02:00] <tweefari> I'm trying to figure out why mplayer is whining about /usr/X11/include/libpng12 saying no suitable image is found.
[02:00] <sacarlson> DexterF: it could have also been installed direct from nvidea web site with there bin install that won't create a package
[02:00] <sam-_-> arch3angel, how is the cardreader powered?
[02:01] <C3D> i was just on a webpage with chrome this is page was a flash type of page and i got an error as follows
[02:01] <arch3angel> if i use a serial to usb cable it works fine
[02:01] <arch3angel> external battery
[02:01] <DexterF> sacarlson: no, no ,no  - this is a *fresh* install of 10.10
[02:01] <undecim> Anyone know how I can get a Windows client forward all internet traffic over openvpn to my server?
[02:01] <sam-_-> arch3angel, why don't you just plug it in?
[02:01] <C3D> following plug in has crashed usr/..../flashpluging installer/lipflashplayer.so
[02:01] <DexterF> I enabled updates while installign and 3rd party, but apt doesnt list any such driver so where does it come from?
[02:01] <gmg> checj your MAC addresses do they match
[02:01] <arch3angel> it needs to be mobile - direct connect was for testing to make sure the code worked
[02:02] <sam-_-> arch3angel, i would be extremely surprised if it worked
[02:02] <arch3angel> ya i can hcitool scan and get the mac
[02:02] <rgoytacaz> Hello there, how do I set umask to owner and group full access (rwx) and guest none?
[02:02] <sacarlson> DexterF: lspci -v  will show what module is available and what is running
[02:02] <arch3angel> works fine under windows
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> C3D: can you use a pastebin and give the output of:  uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf      Thanks
[02:02] <C3D> :S
[02:02] <sam-_-> arch3angel, then i very likely misunderstood something
[02:03] <C3D> you totaly lost me there ActionParsnip
[02:03] <DexterF> sacarlson: "Kernel driver in use: nvidia" and modinfo nvidia says ERROR: modinfo: could not find module nvidia. I'm confused.
[02:03] <sam-_-> arch3angel, hmm. i don't get it
[02:03] <C3D> type that in the terminal?
[02:04] <maverick_> it seems the problem is fixed...
[02:04] <gmg> can you scan the bluetooth device fromthe laptop?
[02:04] <arch3angel> k maybe this will explain it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Shp8BN1IYM
[02:04] <sacarlson> DexterF: now it sounds like you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that's setup for nvidea but you don't have it installed
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> C3D: press CTRL+ALT+T and paste the whole command into the terminal, press ENTER. go to http://pastie.org and paste the text there, then hit paste and copy the link generated and paste the link here
[02:04] <arch3angel> we have to prove or disprove this guys products
[02:05] <arch3angel> by duplicating the hardware he is using
[02:05] <gmg> Can you scan and pick it up from a cellphone?
[02:05] <arch3angel> yeah funny thing is i can from my droid
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> C3D: instead of ":S" try just going with the 2nd thing you replied with, helps a lot
[02:05] <tdebaets> ActionParsnip, Pici: reinstalling dash seems to have fixed it
[02:05] <arch3angel> usinf blueterm i can get the encrypted data
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> tdebaets: sweet, glad you got the gold :)
[02:05] <DexterF> sacarlson: ok, I'd say: remova all binary drivers and then reinstall. btw: how do I install closed src drivers from the gui? I always do it from cli, maybe the restricted manager does something else
[02:06] <randoman> hi
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: both wil do the same thing, the gui just gives a pretty gui
[02:06] <rgoytacaz> Hello there, how do I set umask to owner and group full access (rwx) and guest none?
[02:06] <sacarlson> DexterF: the easy method if it works is System>administration>Hardware drivers  enable nvidea if detected
[02:07] <DexterF> well if all fails ill try dkms manually
[02:07] <gmg> I think your  Com port are not released
[02:08] <Steve973> Does anybody know about getting lockd working when the client machine is behind NAT?
[02:08] <C3D> http://pastie.org/1472180
[02:08] <nv1dia> Anyone able to tell me how i would get Xinput list to show my mouse as [XExtensionPointer] rather than what it shows now which is [XExtensionLeyboard]?
[02:09] <arch3angel> how do i figure this out
[02:09] <arch3angel> i really HATE the idea of doing this in windows
[02:09] <UtrinqueParatus> can anyone recommend anything similar to visio to create HLD's?
[02:09] <Craigwell> i have a 10gb .vdi file that i am trying to get off off an old hard drive, onto a new one. nothing i do works, i keep getting i/o error at about the 6gb mark. these are both ntfs partitions
[02:09] <Craigwell> can anyone help?
[02:10] <gmg> I have never done this...a bluetooth device opens up com ports as soon you plug it in...this is a driver issue
[02:10] <ZykoticK9> Craigwell, an I/O error on a HD suggests a physical problem with the drive.  Good luck man.
[02:10] <arch3angel> crap
[02:10] <C3D> ActionParsnip  http://pastie.org/1472180
[02:11] <Craigwell> ZykoticK9: even though the vdi still works?
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> C3D: ok try: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:11] <ZykoticK9> Craigwell, vdi?
[02:11] <sam-_-> Craigwell, have you checked the s.m.a.r.t. data?
[02:12] <sam-_-> Craigwell, also may be an fsck will help
[02:12] <gmg> Let me check something quick
[02:12] <arch3angel> k brb myself
[02:12] <C3D> ActionParsnip that will remove it right?
[02:12] <Craigwell> sam-_-: ZykoticK9: yes it is an old drive that smart tells me is failing, .vdi is for virtualbox
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> C3D: yes, then install the flashplugin-nonfree package which should be ok
[02:13] <ZykoticK9> Craigwell, if SMART is also telling you drive is failing there probably isn't much anyone can do...  good luck man.
[02:13] <sam-_-> Craigwell, if smart tells you it's failing you are prbl sscrewd
[02:13] <C3D> Thanks
[02:13] <gmg> try this http://www.piaccess.com/trac/wiki/Linux_BlueZ_Bluetooth_Serial_Setup
[02:14] <Craigwell> hmm ubuntu system rescue cd  any help you guys think? as far as recover is concerned?
[02:14] <Craigwell> gparted livecd wouldnt work either
[02:14] <Craigwell> :-/
[02:14] <DarkStar1> Hi. does anyone here know iptables or know the channel for it?
[02:14] <C3D> craigwell do you have an old computer?
[02:15] <nv1dia> This problem sucks lol
[02:15] <Pici> DarkStar1: #iptables oddly enough ;)
[02:15] <Carl0s-> #netfilter ?
[02:15] <DarkStar1> Pici: thought it was called something else
[02:15] <DarkStar1> Pici: muct've spelt it wrong
[02:15] <DarkStar1> must*
[02:16] <sam-_-> DarkStar1, #Netfilter
[02:16] <Craigwell> c3d: old hard drive, just replaced.
[02:16] <Craigwell> i had no problems backing up my /home partition for the new 10.04 install on the fresh drive,
[02:16] <sam-_-> Pici, there are only 2 people in the channel
[02:16] <Craigwell> as well as all my other data
[02:16] <Pici> sam-_-: :(
[02:16] <DarkStar1> sam-_-: #iptables takes you there.
[02:16] <arch3angel> back
[02:16] <Craigwell> but i have an ntfs partition on the old drive with my virtualbox xp install,
[02:16] <DarkStar1> sam-_-: 125 people in there
[02:16] <Craigwell> which i use for simply accounting and itunes,
[02:17] <gmg> How can I create OPML files for Rhythmbox?
[02:17] <wookienz> hi, I have a nfs share which is mapped from a NAS to my /mnt directory. Why does it mount as user: 1024 group: users? ie 1024/users as uid/gid.  As when i write to it i sometime get permission issues.
[02:17] <sam-_-> Pici, my mistake then
[02:17] <Craigwell> and even though it still works fine in VBox, i cannot copy the .vdi to my new drive
[02:17] <arch3angel> here is the two devices i am using IoGear gbu421 for the laptop and LM Technologies RS232 Bluetooth Serial Adapter
[02:17] <C3D> sorry craigwell beyond my experience there
[02:17] <Craigwell> is there a way i can scan the file?
[02:18] <Craigwell> see if it flags any errors?
[02:18] <slax00> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFWzDFjBKUw&feature=player_embedded
[02:18] <slax00> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFWzDFjBKUw&feature=player_embedded
[02:18] <slax00> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFWzDFjBKUw&feature=player_embedded
[02:18] <FloodBot2> slax00: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:18] <Craigwell> so that i can ast least know if it's that part of the drive/file that are messed, and that it isn't some kind of transfer issue? (10gb file)
[02:18] <Domador> ola
[02:19] <Jello_Raptor> hmm, i'm trying to install my asus usb-n13 (wifi usb thing) using the instructions here ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1563281&highlight=asus+usb+n13 ) and i don't seem to get any errors it just doesn't work at the end :/
[02:19] <gmg> http://www.piaccess.com/trac/wiki/Linux_BlueZ_Bluetooth_Serial_Setup
[02:19] <ezrea> is there a behnke in the room?
[02:20] <sam-_-> Jello_Raptor, is the modules loaded?
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> !ufw | DarkStar1
[02:20] <arch3angel> gmg thanks i will give this tut a shot hope my other stuff is gone wiped out lol
[02:20] <Craigwell> ok, another question for you guys:
[02:21] <Craigwell> still trying to figure out how to handle my old /etc folder
[02:21] <nv1dia> Anyone care to take a stab at the problem im having?
[02:21] <gmg> ok
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> Jello_Raptor: run: sudo lshw -C network    and you will see the chip used
[02:21] <Craigwell> can i copy/paste it from old hd to new hd or will it break the new install of 10.04 ?
[02:21] <DarkStar1> ActionParsnip: thx for the bot spam :P I was already solving mah problem.
[02:21] <Craigwell> i already had /home on a separate partition which i was able to use with the new install
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: ubottu is handy and may have told you something extra
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: its also relevant to your issue, so isn't spam
[02:22] <e21> To start i love this distro so much better with gnome than kde :) but i am having problems with my wireless it just doesnt seem to recognise my card? If anyone has any suggestions then im all ears :) cheers all
[02:22] <DarkStar1> ActionParsnip: Yeah but you answered so late that I already was looking into a solution for my problem. :)
[02:22] <DarkStar1> ActionParsnip: I joke with you anyways
[02:23] <sam-_-> e21, depends on what wireless you got?
[02:23] <arch3angel> this command --> sdptool browse 00:0D:3F:45:DF:8A | egrep "Service Name:|Channel:"
[02:23] <arch3angel>  <-- returns nothing
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> e21: run: sudo lshw -C network   to see the chip and you can use it to find guides
[02:24] <RoytheDog> We just set up ltsp on lucid - Any suggestions on how to have a single logon - yet keep people from seeing what another person logged in with the same login is doing?
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> e21: if it doesn't show then run: lsusb; lspci   and one line will identify the device
[02:26] <Jello_Raptor> ActionParsnip: it shows an ethernet interface, but not the usb wifi drive im trying to get working? lsusb gives the correct drive as one of its outputs though, and iwconfig shows "no wireless extensions" on lo eth0 and pan0
[02:26] <sam-_-> RoytheDog, no. i don't believe that's possible
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Jello_Raptor: then copy the 8 character hex ID and you'll find guides
[02:27] <slie> Anyone know what i should use to practice SQL?
[02:27] <DarkStar1> Read a book?
[02:28] <kanthbc> hi how to download videos from any website using terminal??????????????
[02:28] <DexterF> sacarlson: mystery partly solved. rerunnign nvidia-xconfig and restarting X now runs glx
[02:28] <e21> ActionParsnip, description: Network controller      product: RTL8191SEvA Wireless LAN Controller       vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.       physical id: 0       bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0       version: 10       width: 32 bits       clock: 33MHz       capabilities: bus_master cap_list       configuration: latency=0       resources: ioport:3000(size=256) memory:93000000-93003fff
[02:29] <DexterF> sacarlson: still I have no idea how v260 got in here
[02:29] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: What was the drastic action you were going to suggest to blow away my settings in gconf to hopefully un-stick my theme? Just delete ~/.gconf?
[02:29] <sam-_-> ^Mike\b, that would work as well. do make a backup though.
[02:30] <DexterF> sacarlson: uh.. found the 260 package.. but who the heck downloaded it.
[02:30] <^Mike\b> ok
[02:30] <sacarlson> DexterF: maybe >>>>>>>>>>>>you
[02:31] <DexterF> sacarlson: DUH! "nvidia-current"! I thought that was a virtpackage since it had no version number in it
[02:31] <DexterF> I should go to bed
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> e21: if you run: sudo iwlist scan    do you see SSIDs?
[02:33] <C3D> question im trying to install a bootup theme and just did it with the command - sudo dpk -i name-bla-bla_all.deb
[02:33] <C3D> was this the right way to do it?
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> e21: http://andi.opensuse-id.org/2010/05/27/how-to-install-rtl8191seva-wlan-device-driver-on-opensuse/comment-page-1/    shows how you can compile the driver, just install build-essential and it will give what you need
[02:33] <myradlife_> ifolder
[02:33] <myradlife_> sorry
[02:34] <myradlife_> nevermind that
[02:34] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: I think you still need a device specified like sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: iwlist without the device name will use all available interfaces, the interface may not be wlan0, it could be eth1 or ra0
[02:35] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: cool
[02:35] <DexterF> thanks all, gotta run
[02:35] <accel> where does chromium-browser store it's data? I don't see a ~/.chromium
[02:36] <sam-_-> accel, look in .config/
[02:36] <ZykoticK9> accel, ~/.config/chromium
[02:37] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: ya that almost worked for me e21:  but I had to sudo ifconfig up wlan1  before the sudo iwlist scan  worked
[02:37] <accel> sam-_- , ZykoticK9 : thanks
[02:40] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: sorry  I typed that wrong e21: sudo ifconfig wlan1 up  first and as ActionParsnip said wlan1 could be labled as something else
[02:43] <dirkson> Trying to help a friend out- What package does libGLEW.so.1.5 live in in Ubuntu 10.4?
[02:44] <hmw> While I was browsing an external HD, which is shared via samba, my other computer suddenly told me, the file would not exist (i was trying to go back to the parent dir) - after looking at the syslog, I restarted Samba with no luck. After a reboot, I could browse through some folders, until the error occurred again. Sharing Computer: Ubuntu 9.04, other computer(s): XP/Ubuntu 9.04 - I can still use the drive directly. After plugging in the HD
[02:45] <junglist3145> is it possible to edit sshd_config over a ssh connection, and restart ssh? I dont care if the connection is broken at the end?
[02:45] <hmw> ... that share worked for months, I wasn't directly using the computer, and I have turned off automatic updates.
[02:45] <myradlife_> junglist3145, yes that's possible
[02:46] <coldfront> just issue the command sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart after you edit it
[02:47] <bucky> dirkson, libglew1.5 prolly
[02:47] <dirkson> bucky: Was afraid of that. Thanks.
[02:48] <chronic> anybody wanna help me with something?
[02:48] <bazhang> chronic, ask first
[02:49] <dirkson> chronic: Yes. I want to help you give me $100. ^^
[02:49] <chronic> well i'm having trouble booting to ubuntu after I created a new partition off my main windows 7 drive. now when i boot i get a bunch of errors and it boots me into busybox shell
[02:50] <junglist3145> dirkson: myradlife_: Should I just edit, then: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart ? is it that easy? that seems too easy :d
[02:50] <myradlife_> junglist3145, its thtat easy

[03:07] <trinidad> does anyone have a problem with their web browers just closing randomly
[03:07] <undecim> maverick_: Xubuntu themes won't work with Ubuntu
[03:07] <trinidad> in ubuntu 10.04
[03:08] <maverick_> undecim oh okay thanks.
[03:08] <undecim> maverick_: Though there are often versions of themes availble for both
[03:08] <undecim> maverick_: check gnome-look.org
[03:09] <maverick_> undecim thanks. ill check that out.
[03:10] <hmw> hmm... the mount point of my external USB HD gets perms 0700 - I suspect it to be the cause for my samba problem.  Is 0700 OK for external HDs? When mounting the internal secondary disk, I get prompted for my password, and perms of the mountpoint are 0777.
[03:11] <JC0694> hello.  can somebody recommend a SIMPLE but good visual fortran IDE?
[03:11] <JC0694> is photran any good?
[03:12] <iszak> So I made a folder a tmpfs how do I reverse this change?
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> JC0694: try it and evaluate for yourself
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> !ide
[03:13] <tuna-fish> iszak: did you make it tmpfs permanently or just by using mount?
[03:13] <trinidad> has anyone had a problem with their web browsers closing random in ubuntu 10.04
[03:13] <undecim> iszak: Unmount the tmpfs
[03:13] <undecim> iszak: e.g. "sudo umount /home/iszak/tmpfsfolder"
[03:14] <iszak> tuna-fish, by using mount
[03:15] <tuna-fish> iszak: then follow undecim's advice above.
[03:15] <iszak> okay but how would I go about making it perm for future reference?
[03:16] <ubuntu> 123456
[03:17] <tuna-fish> iszak: by making an entry for it in /etc/fstab
[03:17] <trinidad> has anyone had a problem with their web browsers closing random in ubuntu 10.04
[03:17] <iszak> tuna-fish, okay great, thanks
[03:17] <iszak> tuna-fish, one last question :P with using mount does that get destroyed on reboot?
[03:17] <tuna-fish> iszak: and before making any changes to fstab, please do take a backup of it
[03:17] <tuna-fish> iszak: yes

[03:19] <lineage> hello everyone
[03:19] <hmw> so I manually mounted that external NTFS USB HD, which gave me 0777 for the mount point. I'd like to find out, how my *mounted* and *working* drive "looses" perms while nobody was active on that computer. Can you give me a pointer?
[03:19] <ZykoticK9> chrometiger, i don't think so - i wish!
[03:19] <lineage> can everyone see me talking?
[03:19] <ZykoticK9> lineage, yes
[03:19] <lineage> ok good.
[03:20] <chrometiger> ZykoticK9: i would like to try it but im afraid of screwing everything up
[03:21] <iszak> tuna-fish, undecim thank you both.
[03:21] <ZykoticK9> chrometiger, gnome-shell "shouldn't" affect regular gnome (or other DEs/WMs)
[03:21] <JC0694> any good visual fortran IDE's available through the repos using synaptic?
[03:22] <Aleiex> hola
[03:22] <Aleiex> hi any way to work with .docx?
[03:22] <hmw> JC0694: visual? probably not. OTOH, you might ask in a FORTRAN channel/forum.
[03:23] <ZykoticK9> Aleiex, your best bet with .docx is to open on a windows machine with Office and re-save it as .doc
[03:23] <JC0694> hmw: i tried #fortran on this server but it's dead
[03:23] <hmw> ZykoticK9: but that would hurt, wouldn't it?
[03:23] <ZykoticK9> hmw, it might kill me - but luckily i'm not the one who as to do it ;)
[03:31] <hmw> According to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1286191, my issue (External HD gets 0700 perms) is a bug.

[03:36] <PKKid> Hey guys, anyone else having touble installing the update for "XUL + XPCOM application layer"??  Every time I try to get that update, it fails.
[03:36] <PKKid> I don't even know what it is..
[03:37] <Isaac-M> I have a unique problem, and no one was in #ubuntu-desktop or #ubuntu-installer or #ubuntu-boot. So instead of posting my entire saga in here again, I just cp/pst'd it: http://pastie.org/1472351
[03:37] <Isaac-M> Can someone please help me?
[03:37] <maco> PKKid: i can tell ya what it is... it's what makes all mozilla (firefox, thunderbird, songbird, seamonkey, etc) work
[03:38] <webPragmatist> does ubuntu create a user in mysql privs?

[03:39] <tuna-fish> how can I list all ports that are currently open and the programs that are listening on them?
[03:40] <PKKid> maco, I don't even use firefox, but im afraid to remove it aptitude.
[03:40] <PKKid> Thanks for the info
[03:40] <milamber> tuna-fish: nmap
[03:42] <milamber> Isaac-M: what kind of computer is it?
[03:42] <Isaac-M> milamber: Dell Inspirion
[03:43] <Isaac-M> I tried deleting the Floppy Drive via the BIOS, but AWARDBios doesn't allow it.
[03:43] <milamber> Isaac-M: go into the bios and see if there is any kid of floppy/legacy floppy options enabled
[03:43] <Isaac-M> There's not
[03:43] <hmw> Perhaps attaching a real floppy? *smirks*
[03:43] <Isaac-M> That's actually not that bad of an idea
[03:43] <Isaac-M> lol
[03:44] <Isaac-M> milamber: I looked already, there's not
[03:44] <Isaac-M> There arem
[03:44] <Isaac-M> aren't very many options
[03:44] <tuna-fish> milamber: I was thinking from inside the host in question and without actually trying those ports. But nmap worked too.
[03:44] <Isaac-M> at all
[03:45] <hmw> Isaac-M: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#Hide_real_floppy_or_hard_drive perhaps?
[03:46] <milamber> tuna-fish: you can run nmap from the host machine and use the localhost. nmap doesn't cover all ports by default however (man nmap for more info). another option from the terminal is: netstat tupl
[03:46] <Isaac-M> hmw: I'm booting off a LiveCD (or LiveUSB, rather)
[03:47] <Isaac-M> Will that still work?
[03:47] <tuna-fish> milamber, yeah, that was what I was thinking of, couldn't remember the command. But after you said nmap, I just used it -- worked just as well.
[03:47] <nikitis> Anyone having issues with flash not fullscreening in any browser on 64-bit 10.10?
[03:48] <EdwardXp> does anyone know anything about capital management what exactly is a senior analyst do there?
[03:48] <hmw> nikitis: did you perhaps enable the option to point at a window to give it focus (unlike having to click it first)?
[03:49] <milamber> tuna-fish: nmap just puts out the data in an easier format for me to read. whatever works though - glad you found what you were looking for.
[03:50] <tuna-fish> milamber: thanks.
[03:50] <milamber> tuna-fish: np
[03:50] <nikitis> hmw, not sure what you mean?
[03:50] <Isaac-M> hmw: I just found this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/7697 Do you know how I would go about doing that, since it's a liveCD?
[03:51] <hmw> nikitis: I mean System / Preferences / Windows / Select windows when the mouse hovers over them
[03:51] <hmw> nikitis: this enabled prevents fullscreen from staying (it switches back to normal window mode instantly on my PC)
[03:51] <nikitis> hmw, no, it is not enabled
[03:52] <hmw> :( well... would have been a reason.
[03:52] <nikitis> hmw what happens for me is, I click fullscreen, or control F, and it flickers as if it is going to fullscreen, then back to normal screen except now the flash window is white.
[03:52] <nikitis> and compiz is disabled
[03:52] <nikitis> happens whether it's enabled or disabled
[03:53] <sandyd> nikitis: you tried 64-bit flash?
[03:53] <hmw> nikitis: sounds like some messed up flash plugin or some other nasty bug. I have no clue, how to approach your prob.
[03:53] <nikitis> sandyd, how can i tell which flash I have?
[03:54] <sandyd> nikitis: you installed flash through the ubuntu repos right?
[03:54] <chapium> all, what would the impact of adding an invalid LANG variable in /etc/environment ?
[03:54] <nikitis> sandyd, i believe so through flashplugin-installer
[03:55] <sandyd> nikitis: then you have 32bit flash wrapped in nspluginwrapper
[03:55] <sandyd> nikitis: here -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414595
[03:55] <Ganymede> Does anyone else find that simply running gnome-system-monitor with the graph tab visible takes up nearly 40% of a core? This is on a somewhat weak laptop (AMD Turion at 2 x 2.1 GHz) with an AMD Radeon HD3200 or something with fglrx. I'm looking for ways to how taxing it is on the CPU...I lowered the "update interval" to 2.0 seconds.
[03:56] <hmw> Ganymede: that system monitor is just that lame.
[03:56] <sandyd> Ganymede: use htlp
[03:56] <sandyd> Ganymede: *htop
[03:56] <chapium> all, what command can I run to configure wireless networking in Ubuntu?  I do not have access to gnome, but I can run each individual application.
[03:56] <Ganymede> I like KDE's ksysguard better because it doesn't have smooth updates but I don't want to pull in so much of KDE.
[03:57] <hmw> Ganymede: CPU usage should drop significantly, if you switch to a not-so-active tab, like "file system", though.
[03:57] <ironchew> Ganymede: Have you tried the "cpufreq-governer" package?
[03:58] <ironchew> *cpufrequtils
[03:58] <maco> ironchew: that wont really affect that that system monitor app is stupidly resource intensive
[03:58] <ironchew> True.
[03:58] <nikitis> sandyd, i just removed then installed adobe x64 flash, but now it's saying I need to install flash
[03:58] <Ganymede> ironchew, What benefit would that bring me? I'm currently using the "ondemand" governor.
[03:58] <maco> Ganymede: gnome-system-monitor has been like that for years... i usually just use the "top" command to see what's going on
[03:59] <Ganymede> maco, I usually use "top" too but I'd like a time-series graph of both CPU and network usage in one place.
[03:59] <poggle> use htop
[03:59] <poggle> it's more fun
[03:59] <maco> Ganymede: hmm didnt realise it did network graph....there are panel applets that do cpu graphs though
[03:59] <sandyd> nikitis: you sure you have 64-bit ubuntu?
[03:59] <Ganymede> I'm also not convinced that the terminal has a good enough resolution for time-series graphs but I'll give it a try.
[04:00] <hmw> Ganymede: you might use Screen (and split the screens) to have several infos displayed simultaneously.
[04:00] <hmw> like logs, htop, etc
[04:00] <Ganymede> maco, The problem with panel applets is that they're running 24/7...I usually only bring up the gnome-system-monitor when I'm doing some CPU intensive thing like running VMs over network and I want to see the CPU and network usage over time just for that hour.
[04:01] <nikitis> sandyd, Linux collins 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:01] <Ganymede> But I don't want them to bump up my CPU fan speed by taking up that extra 5% CPU or whatever.
[04:01] <Ganymede> Especially while I'm sleeping.
[04:01] <leachim6_> hey
[04:01] <hmw> Ganymede: you can "Add To Panel" the "System Monitor"
[04:01] <sandyd> nikitis: is adobe flash in http://about:plugins ?
[04:01] <hmw> but that's for CPU info only, Ganymede
[04:01] <leachim6_> I'm looking for a markup language similar to markdown but with extended functionality....it's in the ubuntu repos but I can't remember it's name
[04:02] <Zed`> hai  - How do I give a user in addition to the owner of a directory access?
[04:02] <hmw> Ganymede: hah. it shows network activity, too...
[04:02] <leachim6_> does anyone know the name ?
[04:02] <maco> Ganymede: maybe try procmeter3?
[04:02] <Bluefever> Hey, I would like to create a 40GB partition with GParted, but the "resize/Move" option is shaded out. Does anyone know what I could do?
[04:02] <hmw> maco, Ganymede: even Conky might help
[04:02] <nikitis> sandyd, chrome - no, firefox - no
[04:03] <zoid> aria2
[04:03] <maco> hmw: conky's an "all the time" app too though
[04:03] <leachim6_> zoid: was that to me>?
[04:03] <hmw> Bluefever: did you perhaps miss to click the real partition, by selecting the parent extended partition?
[04:03] <sandyd> nikitis: download this http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz , unzip, and stick the file in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[04:03] <leachim6_> nvm
[04:03] <quinnw> Can't I make a Ubuntu USB installer usind a memstick image anymore?
[04:03] <leachim6_> what is the name of a markdown-like formatting language in the ubuntu repos, I can't remember the name of it and it's driving me crazy!
[04:03] <maco> Ganymede: im just searching in apt, but... procmeter3 and nmon might work
[04:03] <zoid> no leachim6_ , i just discoverd ariq2 is very good!
[04:04] <zoid> aria2
[04:04] <Bluefever> @hmw no I clicked the first one /dev/sda1, but its shaded.
[04:04] <Bluefever> Is that right?
[04:04] <hmw> Bluefever: is it mounted?
[04:04] <Ganymede> Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I will look through them, starting with maybe procmeter.
[04:04] <quinnw> I can't find the page in the wiki.
[04:04] <Bluefever> Yes
[04:05] <hmw> Bluefever: you need to unmount it first. Of course, you can't change the root partition, since you cant unmount it. In this case, you would use a live cd.
[04:05] <quinnw> "Warning: This applies just to Ubuntu 9.04. Ubuntu is NO LONGER distributed in IMG format, except for some machines :-("
[04:05] <nikitis> sandyd, okay, browsers play in windowed, but when trying to fullscreen, it crashed with the puzzle piece
[04:05] <quinnw> So does that mean I actually need to burn a CD just to make a USB istaller?
[04:05] <quinnw> That can't be right.
[04:06] <hmw> quinnw: one can use the ISO to make a USB boot flash drive
[04:06] <Bluefever> So I put in a live CD, and Unmount it and create the partition like that and then restart?
[04:06] <sandyd> nikitis: thats the best that flash can do. You tried in firefox?
[04:06] <nikitis> sandyd, i never had this problem before
[04:06] <leachim6_> can anyone help refresh my memory
[04:06] <nikitis> in 64 bit
[04:06] <nikitis> sandyd, anything major change?
[04:06] <hmw> Bluefever: the live cd wont auto-mount your drives, so the unmounting part isnt needed.
[04:06] <leachim6_> it's sort of like markdown or textile but greatly enhanced
[04:06] <leachim6_> I can't remember the name of the package!
[04:07] <sandyd> nikitis: did you update any graphics drivers of any sofrt?
[04:07] <Bluefever> Alright, thank you you've been a great help. I really appreciate it.
[04:07] <hmw> Bluefever: yw
[04:07] <hmw> Blue... damn
[04:07] <quinnw> hmw: Yeah. I remember doing that before, in multiple releases, but is the prcess the same?
[04:08] <nikitis> sandyd, hmm.  not in a bit, but now that you mention it, it seems like the same time frame since I last compiled them that i started seeing this error.  But 3d works, and so do games etc
[04:08] <hmw> quinnw: I think so... I am not 100% sure, but I believe, I made a working 10.10 USB BOOT Flash drive some weeks ago...
[04:08] <sandyd> nikitis: the problem with flash is that its quite finky, and breaks easily
[04:08] <nikitis> sandyd, i'll try and redo my graphics drivers
[04:08] <quinnw> hmw: Ok. Then I'll keep looking.
[04:08] <hmw> quinnw: I am using the GUI tool for that, btw. there might be other ways.
[04:09] <sandyd> nikitis: see if you can replicate what you had before you last compiled them
[04:09] <sandyd> and im having a huge lag here...
[04:09] <bazhang> leachim6_, apt-cache search markdown or apt-cache search textile produces a number
[04:09] <quinnw> hmw: Since I'm not running Ubuntu right now, I certainly hope so hehe.
[04:09] <leachim6_> bazhang: yeah but those are not them, I checked that.
[04:09] <h4x0rz> say i have a question i got skype running on lucid and i keep getting pop ups but i dont see the process anywhere how can i get to it?
[04:10] <hmw> quinnw: ah. there are tools for windows to write the disk. you should find them quite easily.
[04:10] <h4x0rz> i am kinda new
[04:10] <leachim6_> bazhang: I don't like wasting people's time, I've tried all of the obvious, google, multiple apt-cache searches
[04:10] <bazhang> leachim6_, then you need to specify exactly what you want to do
[04:10] <hmw> quinnw: you also can make the USB disk from a live CD!
[04:10] <hmw> (while it is booted, i mean)
[04:10] <leachim6_> well, I want to format my notes for class, but I want to write them in plain text to convert to pdf later
[04:10] <leachim6_> I need more functionality than markdown, but less than LaTeX
[04:10] <bazhang> leachim6_, so a text to pdf converter
[04:10] <hmw> leachim6_: HTML?
[04:11] <quinnw> hmw: I'm using Slackware and don't have an optical drive that works.
[04:11] <quinnw> hmw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Create%20Bootable%20USB%20Manually
[04:11] <hmw> quinnw: oh my. Good luck! *smirks*
[04:11] <h4x0rz> say i have a question i got skype running on lucid and i keep getting pop ups but i dont see the process anywhere how can i get to it?
[04:11] <quinnw> hmw: That looks like what I need.
[04:11] <leachim6_> no, it's another markup language sort of in the middle of markdown and LaTeX
[04:11] <leachim6_> I know I'm being vague and unhelpful I just can't remember the name of the package
[04:12] <maco> leachim6_: restructured text?
[04:12] <hmw> leachim6_: I was wondering, if you could/would want to write your stuff in HTML. Has obvious advantages.
[04:12] <azulita> does anybody have a clue how much bandwidth it would take out to send 1000 short text emails?
[04:12] <zoid> barf
[04:13] <h4x0rz> will someone help me?
[04:13] <sympt0m> azulita too much
[04:13] <hmw> azulita: I'd guess something between 2x and 4x the size of the messages, if they are really short even more (overhead)
[04:13] <azulita> okay, thanks
[04:13] <VisualAssassin> can  anyone see this????
[04:13]  * sympt0m looks
[04:14] <sympt0m> No.
[04:14] <hmw> VisualAssassin: of course, you are Visual after all.
[04:14] <thauriswulfa> h4x0rz: i would love to but i am also new
[04:14] <leachim6_> hmw: nah, it looks like markdown is my best bet, I just can't for the life of me remember the name of this package
[04:14] <sam-_->  h4x0rz, do you have the notification area in the panel?
[04:14] <VisualAssassin> ok how come i can log on here, but i cant log on to any irc channels on my incredible?
[04:14] <hmw> !ask | h4x0rz
[04:14] <leachim6_> the pandoc package has a convenient markdown2pdf command
[04:14] <sam-_-> hmw, he asked already
[04:14] <sympt0m> Because smartphones aren't smart!
[04:15] <hmw> sam, h4x0rz: my oops.
[04:15] <digitalfiz> quinnw, you have virtualbox on slack?
[04:15] <VisualAssassin> it says the nick is already registered....yeah registered to me...and i dont remeber my password, so what is an easy way of changing it?
[04:15] <hmw> h4x0rz: so, you want to get skype to the foreground? I suppose, you tried ALT-TAB already?
[04:15] <h4x0rz> how can i find a program running in background?
[04:15] <maco> VisualAssassin: ask in #freenode for a pw reset
[04:15] <h4x0rz> yes
[04:15] <julieta> hola
[04:15] <julieta> or hi
[04:15] <hmw>  VisualAssassin: after 6 months, the ops will release the registration.
[04:16] <quinnw> digitalfiz: What?
[04:16] <VisualAssassin> it hastn been 6 months i know that for a fact
[04:16] <VisualAssassin> what is the command to ask #freenode?
[04:16] <digitalfiz> quinnw, if you have virtualbox you can mount the iso and set the only harddrive to your usb stick and install that way
[04:16] <sam-_-> h4x0rz, ps aux | grep notification-area
[04:16] <quinnw> digitalfiz: Ah yeah.
[04:16] <sam-_-> h4x0rz, what does it tell you?
[04:16] <maco> VisualAssassin: /join #freenode
[04:16] <schnuffle> VisualAssassin: use /msg nickerv gost name passwd to reclaim
[04:16] <hmw> h4x0rz: you *should* see an Icon in the Notification Area. If that icon simply vanished (by error), you might get it back by restarting the window manager
[04:16] <quinnw> digitalfiz: But then I have to mess with that haha.
[04:17] <maco> schnuffle: VisualAssassin doesn't know the password
[04:17] <digitalfiz> lol
[04:17] <schnuffle> ghost
[04:17] <quinnw> digitalfiz: As in http://digitalfiz.com/ ?
[04:17] <h4x0rz> 1 sec
[04:17] <digitalfiz> yaw
[04:17] <quinnw> Lol
[04:17] <quinnw> Nice
[04:17] <digitalfiz> ;)
[04:17] <schnuffle> VisualAssassin: then you'll have to ask somebody to reset
[04:18] <quinnw> digitalfiz: I'm the same as over in #assaultcube
[04:18] <digitalfiz> quinnw, yeah i figured so
[04:18] <h4x0rz>  what is "ps aux | grep notification-area"
[04:18] <julieta> adquiri una cam star tec hc 328 pero los deiver son para win...alguna idea de como hago para conseguir los drive para ubuntu?
[04:18] <sympt0m> english!
[04:18] <h4x0rz> if it is forterminal its dling something
[04:18] <hmw> h4x0rz: shows lines of the output of ps, which contain "notification-area"
[04:19] <ubutom_> !es | julieta
[04:19] <hmw> h4x0rz: but I think, that will not run as a process. You could also try to restart Skype: Find skype with ps and kill the process, then start it again.
[04:19] <julieta> vale grax
[04:20] <Danny78> my mouse works fine on one computer, but on a new computer, none of several distros allows me to use the mouse--- the cursor is there but won't move.  Can anyone point me to information to configure my mouse to work?  (resolv.conf?, etc.)
[04:20] <h4x0rz> its not in the sys monitor i was wondering if there was a key stroke or something to fiind it lie how aim is
[04:20] <seriousness> Hello All. Do you know how to create an image of my beautiful Ubuntu 10.10 that I can than install  on multiple boxes? Similar to 'Ghost' but for Ubuntu?
[04:21] <schnuffle> seriousness: gparted or clonezilla
[04:21] <hmw> seriousness: partimage
[04:21] <hmw> seriousness: also, CloneZilla Live CD
[04:21] <seriousness> thank you guys, you are great!
[04:21] <h4x0rz> what is ther terminal code to pull up the plasma bar?
[04:23] <Danny78> Does anyone know what files are associated with mouse hardware?
[04:23] <hmw> schnuffle: gparted can clone partitions?
[04:23] <Danny78> I was hoping to copy and paste the correct configuration from the computer that works but I don't know where to look
[04:24] <hmw> Danny78: how comes, that you have to configure your mouse?
[04:24] <schnuffle> hmw: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php
[04:24] <syddraf> Can anyone point me to a guide on setting up Japanese input on Ubuntu 10.04?
[04:24] <julieta> me doy, ni modo, well i have a camera star tec hc 328 but drivers only win... now i need driver for ubuntu,or I need an idea to install the cam
[04:24] <bazhang> syddraf, install ibus
[04:25] <hmw> schnuffle: ah, cool. Sounds like gparted uses dd, partimage compresses the stuff into a file.
[04:25] <Danny78> hmw:  I don't know if I have to configure it.  It's not working.
[04:25] <syddraf> bazhang, ibus is installed
[04:25] <julieta>  i have a camera star tec hc 328 but drivers only win... now i need driver for ubuntu,or I need an idea to install the cam
[04:25] <julieta>  i have a camera star tec hc 328 but drivers only win... now i need driver for ubuntu,or I need an idea to install the cam
[04:25] <julieta>  i have a camera star tec hc 328 but drivers only win... now i need driver for ubuntu,or I need an idea to install the cam
[04:25] <schnuffle> hmw: for me the most comfortable is clonezilla at the moment
[04:25] <VisualAssassin> can i be connected on both my laptop and phone to irc channels?
[04:26] <hmw> Danny78: that is unusual. Perhaps the USB controller isn't working?   tail -f /var/log/messages   and watch the output, while plugging the mouse in.
[04:26] <amazon10x> i just download ubuntu 10.10 desktop and put it on a usb drive, but when i boot it, i get some text scrolling by for a few seconds, then the screen goes black and i've got nothing
[04:26] <schnuffle> hmw: anyway i have all of them on an usb stick
[04:26] <Danny78> hmw:  the same mouse works fine on two other computers--  win7 and ubuntu 10.04, but it won't work on this one
[04:26] <hmw> schnuffle: me too
[04:26] <schnuffle> hmw: :)
[04:26] <bazhang> amazon10x, put on how
[04:27] <h4x0rz> i need a vote mono or wine?
[04:27] <hmw> Danny78: to verify, if your Ubuntu is set up correctly, you might boot a live cd on the evil pc.
[04:27] <amazon10x> bazhang: put on how?
[04:27] <schnuffle> h4x0rz: for what purpose?
[04:27] <aliendude5300> quick question -- installed a radeon 9500gt 1024MB card in my system, then replaced it with a radeon x1950gt card, uninstalling the nvidia driver... how do I set the x video driver to the open source "radeon" driver?
[04:27] <x_> Really need help getting spdif to work on 10.10 shows up in pavucontrol and alsamixer everything is unmuted even shows me what app is using sound but no output through optical spdif or coaxial spdif. ?
[04:28] <bazhang> amazon10x, how was the iso put on the usb stick
[04:28] <h4x0rz> like installing windows games and such for framework and whatnot
[04:28] <amazon10x> oh, i did it with the Universal USB Installer
[04:28] <amazon10x> i get to the menu and i tell it to boot to ubuntu, and i do get some kernel messages and stuff
[04:28] <bazhang> amazon10x, from windows? never heard of that software
[04:29] <bazhang> amazon10x, better to use unetbootin
[04:29] <amazon10x> bazhang: it's what ubuntu.com tells you to use if you want to do it with usb
[04:29] <amazon10x> unetbootin is usually what i use but i figured if the site recommends it, i'd go with it. i'll try unetbootin and see if that works
[04:30] <fluvvell> Danny78, I've never met a mouse that doesn't just plug in and go, what kind is it?
[04:30] <Danny78> hmw:  most the distros I've tried install and boot up fine, but the mouse pointer just sits there
[04:30] <hmw> Danny78: that is unusual. Perhaps the USB controller isn't working?   tail -f /var/log/messages   and watch the output, while plugging the mouse in.
[04:30] <schnuffle> amazon10x: have a look at http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[04:30] <Danny78>  fluvvell:  I'm using a logitec laser PS/2
[04:31] <hmw> PS/2 *must* be plugged in, before power on
[04:31] <fluvvell> Danny78, a ps/2 mouse? Not using one of those ps2/usb adaptors by chance?
[04:31] <Danny78>  fluvvell:  I also have a microsoft usb laser and an old logitec 3 button PS/2
[04:31] <aliendude5300> anybody know how to change my video driver? :(
[04:31] <Danny78> fluvvell:  yes, using the adapter
[04:32] <fluvvell> Danny78, dump the adaptor, plug the usb straight in.
[04:32] <hmw> I hate my PS/2 - USB adaptor.
[04:32] <fluvvell> worthless in my book
[04:32] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I tried another usb to ps2 adapter as well
[04:32] <s2s2d2> hello I have installed ubuntu server on ec2 via official ami image
[04:32] <steven_> Yeah me too, I prefer playing with my wii
[04:32] <s2s2d2> lo login without that darned ssh certificate ...with username and password only
[04:32] <julieta>  i have a camera star tec hc 328 but drivers only win... now i need driver for ubuntu,or I need an idea to install the cam
[04:32] <s2s2d2> is possible
[04:32] <s2s2d2> lo login without that darned ssh certificate ...with username and password only
[04:32] <fluvvell> Danny78, the adaptors are not a go.
[04:32] <s2s2d2> hello I have installed ubuntu server on ec2 via official ami image
[04:32] <s2s2d2> yoooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[04:33] <hmw> fluvvell: Danny78: wait - USB mouse on a PS/2 connector or PS/2 mouse on USB?
[04:33] <sympt0m> anyone know if EFI supports usb mice? or only ps2?
[04:33] <fluvvell> there are so many usb ports on pcs these days you don't need them
[04:33] <steven_> EFI supports USB mice
[04:33] <aliendude5300> sigh... I have no hardware video acceleration at all and I really need to get this working :(
[04:33] <fluvvell> it will be a usb mouse on a ps2 adaptor.
[04:33] <x_> Really need help getting spdif to work on 10.10 shows up in pavucontrol and alsamixer everything is unmuted even shows me what app is using sound but no output through optical spdif or coaxial spdif. ?
[04:33] <Danny78> fluvvell:  I'm using a KVM switch and it has ps/2 connectors
[04:33] <amazon10x> schnuffle: that's for booting multiple ISOs from a single usb drive. i just want to boot the one installer iso
[04:34] <Danny78> fluvvell:  maybe I should get a USB kvm switch
[04:34] <aliendude5300> If nobody can help me, can you please point me to a channel that can?
[04:34] <fluvvell> Danny78, tough break. You need a ps2 mouse for those, or yes get a kvm switch with usb in it.
[04:34] <hmw> USB mouse on PS/2 was never a problem for me. I just hate this almost-working adaptor, I need to use for my old PS/2 keyboard. That adaptor crashes on me all the time, and I need to reconnect
[04:34] <hmw> Danny78: you could try Synergy - sort of a virtual KVM
[04:34] <steven_> KVM == Kills Via Motherboards :)
[04:34] <fluvvell> aliendude5300, sometimes you just have to wait till someone is free.
[04:35] <schnuffle> amazon10x: you can just put one iso on it and for me it works flawlessly, unetbootin wasn't so stable to use
[04:35] <Danny78> fluvvell:  ps2 KVM connector on usb port, but I have 1 ps2 port on the mobo, so I can put the mopuse on that and then the keyboard won't work
[04:35] <amazon10x> schnuffle: alright, i'll give it a try
[04:35] <hmw> Danny78: that computer appears to be broken.
[04:35] <hmw> wait... ONE ps/2 port??
[04:36] <Danny78> hmw: yeah, and it's colored half purple and half green...  how cheap is that?
[04:36] <undecim> Okay, I can't get OpenVPN working and Port forwarding with SSH (AFAIK) doesn't let me forward UDP traffic. Is there any other way I can let a Windows client forward all internet traffic through my server?
[04:36] <hmw> OMG
[04:37] <hmw> Danny78: Synergy lets you share your kbd/mouse over network. You can use several computers and control it with one kbd/mouse pair.
[04:37] <hmw> control THEM.
[04:38] <Guest91975> what
[04:38] <Loneclock> how do i install skype on ubuntu?
[04:38] <Danny78> hmw:  how much does that cost?
[04:38] <Loneclock> it says Package skype is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[04:38] <Loneclock> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[04:38] <Loneclock> is only available from another source
[04:38] <Loneclock> E: Package skype has no installation candidate
[04:38] <hmw> Danny: apt-get install quicksynergy ... free ... cross OS
[04:39] <schnuffle> undecim: netcat can forward udp
[04:39] <Danny78> hmw:  awesome, if it works, I'll send you some electronic virtual karma
[04:39] <aliendude5300> it appears that my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is empty...? Running Ubuntu 10.10 here...
[04:39] <undecim> shnuffle: How can I use that to forward all internet traffic from a Windows client?
[04:39] <hmw> Danny78: :))
[04:40] <Loneclock> can someone help me install skype on 10.10?
[04:40] <nikitis> loneclock go to skype.com and download it
[04:40] <hmw> Loneclock: get the .deb from skype.com and double click it
[04:40] <JackyAlcine> Loneclock: you need to enable a software source, Skype's provided by a partner.
[04:40] <schnuffle> undecim: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828870
[04:40] <JackyAlcine> Loneclock: Check in Software Center.
[04:40] <bloopletech> If I'm on maverick, and I've got Subpixel smoothing and Slight Hinting turned on for my fonts, is freetype using the font's built-in hinting or the pre-patent-expiry autohinting or what?
[04:41] <Loneclock> hmw, i cant use apt-get?
[04:41] <schnuffle> undecim: but it you hould retry to setup openvpn, normally it's not hard to do
[04:41] <Geek-> How do i change write access to folder for everyone i know its chmod but is the rest chmod -R 777 /path/to/dir ?
[04:41] <hmw> Loneclock: I didn't know, that one can use apt for Skype. My Ubuntu version didn't allow me that, iirc
[04:41] <undecim> schnuffle: Well, it works on every Windows client but the one I'm trying to make it work with :/
[04:42] <h4x0rz> i got skype
[04:42] <h4x0rz> but

[04:42] <Loneclock> hmw, the one on skype.com says it is for ubuntu 8.1
[04:43] <Loneclock> can i use it on 10.10?
[04:43] <h4x0rz> ya
[04:43] <hmw> Loneclock: you should be able to.
[04:43] <undecim> shnuffle: I still don't see how netcat helps...

[04:45] <infinity8> It says error: no such device: a3a5ff17-d66e-426c-9809-2a2946c36151

[04:45] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: you mean the open source radeon driver?
[04:46] <infinity8> Will anyone help me...i decalre my pc dead...
[04:46] <hmw> aliendude5300: xorg.conf is no longer in use, though you still can put stuff there theoretically. You should find instructions on how to revert to Radeon on the web, if nobody in this channel knows how to do it.
[04:46] <undecim> hmw: Its not an internet connection I want to share... Not in that sense, anways. I can rock iptables all day long, but I want my buddy in peru to be able to access the internet from my IP address here in the states
[04:46] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: I'm not sure if the xorg.conf is necessary, but this is what I have: http://pastie.org/1472452
[04:47] <hmw> undecim: ah. Either install a proxy or a vpn?
[04:47] <undecim> hmw: And so far, openvpn will work on every computer except that one.
[04:47] <aliendude5300> bloopletech: yes
[04:47] <bloopletech> Note that for at least a while you had to be using the XOrg edgers ppa and  (possibly) very recent kernels
[04:47] <hmw> undecim: or you find a free proxy in the us for your friend
[04:47] <undecim> hmw: Moreover, I need to automatically redirect all IP traffic, including UDP,
[04:47] <schnuffle> undecim: so analyse why its not working and fix it  :)
[04:48] <r3m> .

[04:48] <arisanliam> I installed proprietary Nvidia driver 260.19 from nvidia web site and was unable to set the performance level with the x server configuration utility. after much digging around I found that support for changing the performance level was incomplete with my current driver. Tried reverting back to nvidia-lxg-185 driver but messed everything up and x wouldn't start. from command I ran the nvidia proprietary installer again and now I'm
[04:48] <arisanliam> back where I started only the x server config utility is missing from System > Preferences. How should I go about getting this back?
[04:48] <hmw> undecim: hmm. I am not very expirienced with VPNs, so I can't help much, I fear.
[04:49] <aliendude5300> bloopletech: I'm using edgers, but I installed an Nvidia card to see if it worked [9500 1024MB], and now I want to revert to the open source ATI radeon driver.
[04:49] <schnuffle> undecim: wippien could help you its a jabber based vpn connection sharing thing
[04:49] <bazhang> aliendude5300, then use ppa-purge to get rid of it
[04:50] <Alec|2> hey guys I fucked up my system trying to do a dual boot
[04:50] <bazhang> Alec|2, watch the language
[04:50] <Alec|2> sorry
[04:50] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: and what do you have at the moment? AFAIK it couldn't be using the nvidia driver because that wouldn't work
[04:50] <undecim> schnuffle: That looks promising.
[04:50] <arisanliam> so no help on this one? :(
[04:50] <edrahn> I get no init found, on a new install
[04:50] <edrahn> any ideas?
[04:50] <Alec|2> I need help, I installed Windows 7 on a new partition but now I cant figure out how to boot ubuntu without reformatting and losing all of my data
[04:51] <bazhang> Alec|2, fix grub
[04:51] <aliendude5300> I have a failsafe driver with no compositioning or hw acceleration... I think it's VESA, not sure.
[04:51] <schnuffle> undecim: used it for some support things and it did the job pretty good, even with noobs on the other site
[04:51] <Alec|2> Bazhang, how do I do that?
[04:51] <bazhang> !grub2 | Alec|2 have a read please
[04:51] <hmw> Alec|2: you need to fix your MBR - do a web search on the problem and the all-knowing network shall provide you with a howto
[04:51] <aliendude5300> I uninstalled the nvidia driver expecting it to fallback on radeon
[04:52] <aliendude5300> edgers was working well for me before I installed radeon
[04:52] <hmw> Alec|2: always install Windows first, it kills any other OS
[04:52] <bazhang> aliendude5300, radeon is not for nvidia
[04:52] <schnuffle> undecim: You can even setup a packages that includes a vncviewer/server connection
[04:52] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: right, so if you still have xorg-edgers installed then just try dropping that config into your xorg.conf file (create it if it doesn't exist)
[04:52] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: radeon == xorg-edgers
[04:52] <Danny78> fluvvell:  hmw:  I have a ps2 back panel add-on, but the connector doesn't match anything on my mobo (inline 5-pin)
[04:52] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: if you mean the ATI propietry drivers, they're called fglrx
[04:52] <Alec|2> thank you ill check out this grub restore
[04:53] <bazhang> Alec|2, likely just sudo update-grub
[04:53] <Alec|2> Ok Bazhang, ill try both, if the first doesnt work. Will update grub work if im operating linux on a flash drive?
[04:53] <aliendude5300> bloopletech: no, not the proprietary, the FOSS radeon driver.
[04:53] <Danny78> anyone know what sort of port on a mobo you could attach a ps2 connector to?  I could always rewire the connector
[04:53] <Blue1> Alec|2: this might help: http://pkill-9.com/?p=314
[04:54] <bazhang> Alec|2, reinstall grub2 from the live usb? sure
[04:54] <gbear14275> which ubuntu variant has the best hardware support for older systems?  I've been told alternate installation cd's have best support.
[04:54] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: xorg-edgers is the latest version of the radeon driver plus more recent versions of X and related libraries that have to be updated for  the latest radeon drivers to work
[04:54] <bazhang> Danny78, offtopic here try ##hardware
[04:54] <Alec|2> ok, Bazhang, is sudo update grub the easiest way to do that?
[04:54] <amazon10x> is there a way to get a log from a liveusb boot?
[04:54] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: so basically you'll want to purge/get rid of whatever you have before and set the card to use the radeon driver
[04:55] <bazhang> gbear14275, they are the same under the hood. try 10.10
[04:55] <aliendude5300> bloopletech: yes, I know. I'm trying to get the edgers version of radeon to function again, since installing an Nvidia card broke it when I uninstalled the nvidia driver
[04:55] <schnuffle> amazon10x: type dmesg in a terminal
[04:55] <Alec|2> Bazhang, one problem, my ubuntu partition isnt appearing in "places" to mount
[04:55] <amazon10x> schnuffle: i can't get to a terminal
[04:55] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: oh, so just reinstall the xorg-edgers ppa
[04:55] <amazon10x> it boots and i get some kenrel messages then the screen goes blank
[04:55] <bazhang> Alec|2, then boot from live usb stick and reinstall grub per the guide
[04:55] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: and add what I linked to your xorg.conf
[04:55] <amazon10x> it seems to continue booting. the fan spins up, then my wifi card turns on
[04:55] <Blue1> Alec|2: try following the recipe I gave you.
[04:56] <gbear14275> bazhang: what about lubuntu?
[04:56] <schnuffle> amazon10x: press CTRL+ALT+F2
[04:56] <Alec|2> Ok Bahzang, just sudo update grub ?
[04:56] <amazon10x> schnuffle: tried it, not working
[04:56] <bazhang> gbear14275, low end, sure (less ram slower cpu)
[04:57] <aliendude5300> I already have the edgers repo installed, but my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is empty... should I just put the device section in there?
[04:57] <gbear14275> bazhang: the lubuntu installer has failed on a few different attempts
[04:57] <schnuffle> amazon10x: boot in fail saave mode
[04:57] <amazon10x> schnuffle: how do i do that
[04:57] <bazhang> gbear14275, there's a lubuntu iso?
[04:58] <amazon10x> i don't see a menu option for it. is it a boot option i can pass?
[04:58] <gbear14275> bazhang: yeah, but it's not officially canonical
[04:58] <bazhang> amazon10x, hold shift at boot choose recovery
[04:58] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: durr yes
[04:59] <bazhang> gbear14275, then install whichever, and run either !puregnome or !purekde !pure xfce and install lubuntu-desktop
[04:59] <aliendude5300> ok, trying that
[04:59] <Ganymede> Is there a way to make "apt-get install" download and install things in parallel rather that sequentially? That is, it should download the first package, and then install that package while the next one is being fetched, et cetera. At the moment, it fetches everything at once and then installs everything at once, which isn't a good use of time since one step is network bound and the other is not. Google turned up something about making multiple
[04:59] <Ganymede> fetches in parallel, which is not quite what I want. I'm looking something similar to Gentoo's parallel fetches for emerge.
[04:59] <gbear14275> bazhang: ah, ok good point
[04:59] <bazhang> Ganymede, not to my knowledge, you could check the manual for apt though
[04:59] <Alec|2> Bahzang, sudo update-grub isnt working
[05:00] <bazhang> Alec|2, thats not what I said to do
[05:00] <bloopletech> Ganymede: note that if there's dependencies, you can't fully parralelize it
[05:00] <Alec|2> my bad Bahzang, let me look at these guides people sent me first
[05:00] <Alec|2> one of them required sudo update-grub
[05:01] <Danny78> Can anyone recommend a good brand for KVM switches?  I like my iogear, it just doesn't work with USB
[05:01] <shifuimam> Danny78: i have an AirLink101 KVM with USB that i love
[05:01] <bazhang> Danny78, this is not the channel for hardware discussion
[05:01] <bazhang> Danny78, again try ##hardware
[05:01] <Ganymede> bloopletech, But...suppose package A depends on B. Couldn't it download B first and then install B while A is downloading?
[05:01] <jshmoe24> Can I get anyone to help me on a libc6 problem on my ubuntu 10.10? I know how to use the command line so it shouldn't be too hard.
[05:01] <aliendude5300> bloopletech: this look good before I reboot? http://pastie.org/1472481
[05:01] <amazon10x> bazhang: i'm on a livecd. will that work? i can't get it to work
[05:02] <bazhang> amazon10x, will what work
[05:02] <bloopletech> Ganymede: I mean probably yes
[05:02] <amazon10x> bazhang: holding shift for recovery mode
[05:02] <bloopletech> Ganymede: I don't know what the most common path is
[05:02] <amazon10x> i don't see any option for recovery mode here
[05:02] <Ganymede> By far, the longest part of our post-install script is installing new packages...
[05:02] <bazhang> amazon10x, thats how to get to grub menu yes
[05:03] <aliendude5300> ehh... i'm gonna reboot now and see what happens
[05:03] <bloopletech> aliendude5300: I'd say probably... I'm not an expert with xorg conf ;)
[05:03] <jshmoe24> I keep getting this ==>  SCSI error on write(0,16): [3 73 03] Power calibration area error   <==  when trying to burn anything.
[05:03] <bazhang> amazon10x, but not from live cd no
[05:03] <shifuimam> incidentally, is the Radeon 9800 Pro officially no longer supprted in 10.10?
[05:03] <jshmoe24> Can I get anyone to help me on a libc6 problem on my ubuntu 10.10? I know how to use the command line so it shouldn't be too hard.
[05:04] <jshmoe24> I keep getting this ==>  SCSI error on write(0,16): [3 73 03] Power calibration area error   <==  when trying to burn anything.
[05:04] <bazhang> libc6 problems are hardly trivial jshmoe24
[05:04] <jshmoe24> can you help then?
[05:04] <jshmoe24> bazhang?
[05:04] <hmw> !patience | jshmoe24
[05:04] <bloopletech> shifuimam: do you know which rXXX sereis it is?
[05:04] <bazhang> jshmoe24, what happened to cause this
[05:04] <shifuimam> bloopletech: r350, IIRC
[05:05] <bloopletech> shifuimam: I believe it is supported in the open source radeon drivers
[05:05] <jshmoe24> not sure maybe could have been a manual power off by accident
[05:05] <shifuimam> bloopletech: well, i had the radeon drivers in use, but i was getting major artifacts pretty much all the time on-screen
[05:05] <shifuimam> even terminal was useless; as soon as the screen filled with text it got all garbly
[05:05] <jshmoe24> during update or problems during apt-get update
[05:05] <bloopletech> shifuimam: which version? There's bee a LOT of dev on it
[05:05] <bazhang> jshmoe24, try booting in recovery mode and fix broken packages
[05:05] <shifuimam> i'm on VESA drivers now, so i have usable video but no OpenGL or 3D
[05:06] <jshmoe24> I keep getting do apt-get -f
[05:06] <shifuimam> bloopletech: whatever is the latest in Aptitude
[05:06] <jshmoe24> but it does nothing to fix the update it  wont update
[05:06] <bloopletech> shifuimam: probably way out of date - I'm running xorg-edgers + a more recent kernel
[05:06] <bloopletech> Though I'm on evergreen, which has seen most of the dev probably
[05:06] <jshmoe24> alrighti hold one sec Ill be back bazhang
[05:06] <shifuimam> bloopletech: care to elaborate on that?
[05:07] <bloopletech> shifuimam: Well this laptop is an evergreen/redwood chipset - which is a new series, so it had no open source support at first
[05:08] <bloopletech> Over the past 9-10 months the support has improved to the level I can use it as normal
[05:08] <bloopletech> Although, I use metacity with compositing off
[05:08] <shifuimam> bloopletech: well, as far as what you did with xorg. linux buddy of mine has indicated that i might have no choice but to use an older version of xorg
[05:08] <bloopletech> compiz may still be too complex at the moment
[05:08] <shifuimam> i can't help it, i like The Shiny :\
[05:08] <bloopletech> shifuimam: hang on
[05:09]  * shifuimam hangs
[05:09] <sakekasi> is there a terminal emulator for windows like that in ubuntu?
[05:09] <shifuimam> sakekasi: if you install cygwin, it comes with a terminal app
[05:09] <Alec|2> Bahzang, I'm following the guides but there is a problem, my ubuntu partition isnt showing up, it only shows up in when I go to partition editor
[05:09] <schnuffle> sakekasi: u can use cygwin
[05:09] <bazhang> sakekasi, try in ##windows
[05:09] <bloopletech> shifuimam: AFAIK it's only the ATI propietry dfrivers that have been dropping support for cards
[05:09] <hmw> sakekasi: ssh client? PuTTY
[05:09] <shifuimam> if you just want to be able to use the same commands in windows as in linux, get PowerShell from Microsoft
[05:09] <Alec|2> The only partition I see is the 33gb windows partition, not the 150 gb ubuntu partition
[05:09] <sakekasi> I want the full use of terminal and HATE the command prompt window
[05:09] <bobbyj> anybody good at networking in here?
[05:10] <bazhang> bobbyj, ask a question
[05:10] <bloopletech> shifuimam: if the open source driver had suppport previously then it probably still has it
[05:10] <undecim> !anyone | bobbj
[05:10] <undecim> !anyone | bobbyj
[05:10] <shifuimam> bloopletech: then i'm at a loss as to why it's artifacting all crazy-like
[05:10] <bloopletech> shifuimam: But if you go to xorg-edgers / latest kernel, you're riding the bleeding edge, so fair warning
[05:11] <shifuimam> also, incidentally, all the OpenGL tests refuse to work; i get a segfault error on all of them
[05:11] <bobbyj> i can't get my Ubuntu on both pc to see each other i ping.. everything i can think of
[05:11] <bloopletech> shifuimam: hmmmmmmmm
[05:11] <Alec|2> Im trying to restore Grub after installing Windows 7 but the guide tells me to mount my ubuntu partition which isnt showing up. Anyone?
[05:12] <shifuimam> bobbyj: are you pinging IPs or hostnames?
[05:12] <bloopletech> shifuimam: just to check, you haven't been trying to use the propietry drivers or anything? If you have it needs to be properly removed before switching to the other one
[05:12] <bobbyj> ip
[05:12] <undecim> bobbyj: Just to clarify: You have two Ubuntu PCs and neither one can ping the other?
[05:12] <shifuimam> bloopletech: i'm 90% sure i was using the radeon drivers
[05:12] <royale1223> Alec|2: sudo fdisk
[05:12] <shifuimam> that's what was loading according to dmesg
[05:12] <royale1223> Alec|2: post outpu

[05:26] <joeblow_> noob here with question about vmware
[05:26] <joeblow_> any takers?
[05:26] <bazhang> joeblow_, related to ubuntu how?
[05:27] <joeblow_> well, im running ubuntu
[05:27] <joeblow_> figured if anyone has it installed they might be able to offer guidance
[05:27] <bazhang> joeblow_, as the host OS? the guest?
[05:27] <joeblow_> host OS
[05:27] <joeblow_> I'd like to run win7 as a guest OS
[05:27] <bazhang> joeblow_, care to ask an actual question
[05:28] <shifnix> bloopletech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/555319/
[05:28] <joeblow_> sure... is it vmware server that i need to install?
[05:28] <bazhang> joeblow_, yes though virtualbox is a bit easier these days
[05:28] <lynix> yup
[05:28] <lynix> install
[05:28] <zirodauy> y
[05:28] <lynix> virtual box
[05:29] <Telegraphs> I just start apache, and it fails silently
[05:29] <joeblow_> thanks much!
[05:29] <Telegraphs> apache2ctl configtest works fine
[05:29] <lynix> frm ubuntu software center
[05:29] <Telegraphs> pgrep apache2 no dice
[05:29] <Telegraphs> no open port 80 with netstat either
[05:29] <wwwyzzerd> upon boot, my ubuntu 10.10 install never automatically connects to network via eth0. i have to disable networking and re-enable several times to get it to work, what gives?
[05:29] <Telegraphs> what do?
[05:29] <bazhang> wwwyzzerd, try sudo dhclient eth0 from the terminal
[05:29] <lynix> go  to bios
[05:29] <quinnw> Where is the casper directory in 10.10's disc image?
[05:29] <bloopletech> shifuimam: you're using / it's trying to use the propietry ATI drivers
[05:29] <quinnw> "Next, you open up the ISO file and extract the files in casper directory. The size (and possibly manifest) are needed if you want to install from the USB drive otherwise the install will error out."
[05:30] <jshmoe24> hey bazhang
[05:30] <jshmoe24> im back
[05:30] <shifnix> bloopletech: weird. it should just be using VESA right now ,since that's what i put in xorg.conf
[05:30] <shifnix> should i just change that to radeon and restart x?
[05:30] <bloopletech> shifnix: no hang on
[05:30] <christhecoolboy> Question: is the source code for Updater available?
[05:30] <shifnix> bloopletech, ok
[05:30] <bloopletech> shifnix: right now your system is partiall stuffed up because you've still gut the propietry driver hanging around
[05:31] <shifnix> lovely!
[05:31] <bazhang> christhecoolboy, which updater
[05:31] <ducky108> #ubuntu-beginners-help
[05:31] <christhecoolboy> bazhang,  Update Manager
[05:31] <Alec|2> Hey guys, Im trying to restore grub but im having trouble because my ubuntu partition isnt showing up to mount
[05:31] <bloopletech> shifnix: you got to choose whether you want to try and get a version of the prop. driver that supports your chipset, or switch over to the radeon driver
[05:31] <bazhang> christhecoolboy, why would you need it
[05:31] <christhecoolboy> I think it needs updating...
[05:31] <christhecoolboy> it looks a bit ugly
[05:31] <ducky108> i need some serious help troubleshooting photoshop
[05:32] <ducky108> CS4
[05:32] <bazhang> ducky108, that has zero to do with Ubuntu
[05:32] <christhecoolboy> ducky108, I didnt think photoshop worked on ubuntu?
[05:32] <heslam> hey guys. i'm having trouble connecting two computers via an ethernet cable. both computers simply don't seem to be seeing eachother. either the software or the hardware is misconfigured. do i really need a 'crossover cable' as opposed to an ethernet cable? i was under the impression most modern networking hardware knew how to handle it regardless
[05:32] <ducky108> well is has to do w wine
[05:32] <shifnix> heslam: most gigabit NICs will auto negotiate a crossover connection with a regular straight through CAT5/CAT6 cable
[05:32] <bazhang> ducky108, #winehq
[05:33] <ducky108> ahhh ok PCE
[05:33] <shifnix> if one of the machines has a 10/100 NIC or a really wonky gigabit NIC, you need a crossover cable
[05:33] <ducky108> #winehq
[05:33] <heslam> shifnix: thanks. i'm definitely not using gigabit-class hardware. thanks for the clarification :)
[05:33] <christhecoolboy> bazhang, I wanted to have a look at the code and see if I could have a play with it... see if I could make it look better... in my free time...
[05:33] <tatvu> hhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[05:33] <Alec|2> CCan someone help me, Im trying to restore grub but my ubuntu partition wont show up to mount, but it shows up in the partition manager
[05:33] <shifnix> heslam: best bet then is to hook em up to a router or switch and use that to connect the two, unless you've got a crossover cable handy
[05:34] <quinnw> Woops.
[05:34] <heslam> shifnix: i do have a few spare routers lying around here, so perhaps i can get one of them working. thanks :)
[05:34] <quinnw> Never mind.
[05:34] <shifnix> heslam: np

[05:35] <bloopletech> shifnix: ok, well won't hurt to try the open ssource driver
[05:35] <bloopletech> shifnix: one sec

[05:37] <bazhang> !vn | tatvu
[05:37] <bloopletech> shifnix: you'll need to remove/purge the ATI driver, start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver
[05:37] <jshmoe24> bazhang did you see my above post about earlier?
[05:37] <Loneclock> how do you install themes in ubuntu?
[05:37] <bloopletech> shifnix: if you installed the propreitry driver using the installer from ATI as opposed to an ubuntu package then you need to remove it a different way
[05:37] <bazhang> jshmoe24, yes, and did you try the prescribed fix
[05:37] <jshmoe24> yes
[05:38] <bazhang> Loneclock, drag the tar.gz to the theme manager
[05:38] <jshmoe24> I have before
[05:38] <jshmoe24> sudo apt-get install -f
[05:38] <jshmoe24> if what its telling me to do
[05:38] <Loneclock> bazhang where is the theme manager
[05:38] <jshmoe24> and I still get problems
[05:38] <shifnix> bloopletech: i don't THINK i installed anything extra; it's got whatever ubuntu put on it and updated through the update manager. if i did, however, add something, it would have been through aptitude
[05:38] <shifnix> definitely not an ATI proprietary installer
[05:38] <jshmoe24> any ideas, hold ill give you outupt

[05:38] <bazhang> Loneclock, right click desktop change background, go to themes tab drag there
[05:39] <bloopletech> shifnix: ok, cool, then run the commands under the 'Problem: Need to purge -fglrx' section of that article
[05:39] <bloopletech> shifnix: actually the 'Problem: Need to fully remove -fglrx and reinstall -ati from scratch' section
[05:39] <glider> Any ideas why I might not be able to disable tap to click?
[05:39] <Loneclock> bazhang what if it is a glow theme?
[05:39] <shifnix> bloopletech: ok, i will try this and report back....
[05:40] <bloopletech> then make dure your xorg.conf is either set to use the radeon driver, or not specifally setting a driver
[05:40] <shifnix> once i've done all this do i need to redo any configs as well?
[05:40] <shifnix> ok
[05:40] <bloopletech> shifnix: then reboot and see
[05:40] <bazhang> Loneclock, not sure what a glow theme is
[05:40] <Poshepocket> I like how I've been using my battery on battery without charging for at least three hours and the battery is saying it is fully charged and is charging.
[05:40] <Alec|2> Please help, Im trying to restore grub/find my files but I that partition isnt showing up
[05:40] <jshmoe24> @bazhang : this is the output of sudo apt-get install -f from before [05:40] <jshmoe24> dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading: No such file or directory: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[05:40] <Loneclock> bazhang there is a png image and some code in gedit
[05:41] <ducky108> you are now talking on <winehq>
[05:41] <shifnix> Poshepocket: aha, my netbook does the same thing
[05:41] <Poshepocket> I hate my battery, it is so frustrating. Unless I restart the whole thing, it won't show me an accurate amount of battery it has.
[05:41] <bazhang> Loneclock, does not sound like a theme
[05:41] <Loneclock> bazhang nvm
[05:41] <Poshepocket> shifnix, rawr
[05:41] <ducky108> so are there any other servers?
[05:41] <bazhang> ducky108, you are not in there
[05:41] <jshmoe24> @bazhang : did you see my responce
[05:41] <jshmoe24> :?
[05:42] <Alec|2> Bahzang, You helped me alot before , is it possible to get one more piece of advice?
[05:42] <jshmoe24> dang your the ubuntu master hazbang everyone wants your help, hahaha rofl
[05:43] <jshmoe24> hazbang has like 3 or 4 conversations going on at once. Nice. :)
[05:43] <hmw> glad not being bazhang :)
[05:44] <jshmoe24> rofl
[05:44] <jshmoe24> I dont think i will ever get this worked out I can't find anything on it anywhere else
[05:44] <jshmoe24> no one seems to have an answer
[05:44] <lynix> of what?
[05:44] <lynix> ans
[05:45] <lynix> tell prob
[05:45] <jshmoe24> lynix you talking to me
[05:45] <jshmoe24> ?
[05:45] <Alec|2> Can anyone help me, Im having trouble restoring Grub
[05:46] <jshmoe24> I have a libc6 dependency problem
[05:46] <lynix> yup!
[05:46] <^Phantom^> How can I run a windows command-line executable from within terminal?
[05:46] <ejv> Alec|2: an error message or some real details might get you further...
[05:46] <ejv> ^Phantom^: you need to use a windows emulation program like "wine"
[05:47] <jshmoe24> I have already went into recovery mode and did dpkg fixing and did sudo apt-get install -f but still nothing. My update manager tries to do it and hangs too.
[05:47] <^Phantom^> I have wine, but the program is command-line based.
[05:47] <jshmoe24> @lynix
[05:47] <christhecoolboy> Making Themes...
[05:47] <christhecoolboy> How is it done?
[05:47] <Alec|2> ejv, there is no error message, but i installed windows 7 on a new partition, and now I cant access my ubuntu pa partition, that partition shows up in the partition editor as extended
[05:48] <ejv> Alec|2: i know very little about grub, i'd check the ubuntu forums or the community docs while you wait, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:48] <Alec|2> ejv, the guide tells me I need to mount the partition, but when I try to mount /sda3 it says: mount: can't find /dev/sda3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[05:49] <Alec|2> Ejv, the problem is less about grub and more about this weird partition
[05:49] <ejv> ^Phantom^: what program?
[05:49] <^Phantom^> It's called gbsnd.exe
[05:49] <^Phantom^> It extracts audio data from gba games.
[05:50] <Nomikos> I'm having a strange issue with a (extremely simple proof of concept) php script that I'm trying to start in the background with "./foo.php &" - it refuses to start
[05:50] <ejv> ^Phantom^: and 'wine gbsnd.exe' doesn't do the trick?
[05:50] <^Phantom^> Oh, I didn't try that, let me try
[05:50] <Nomikos> As soon as I foreground it, it runs fine. Launching in the foreground also fine. Same script on OS X, & works.
[05:50] <bloopletech> Nomikos: try "php ./foo.php" instead
[05:50] <Nomikos> bloopletech: tried that, too
[05:50] <Nomikos> jobs just says it's there but "stopped"
[05:50] <hmw> Alec|2: if it tries to look it up in fstab, it means, that it is not a normal ext3/4 partition (did you perhaps reformat the linux partition to NTFS or something?)
[05:51] <bloopletech> Nomikos: so show the exact command that works and the one that doesn't work?
[05:51] <^Phantom^> Ah, that does the trick, thank you, ejv :)
[05:51] <ejv> ^Phantom^: you're welcome
[05:51] <Nomikos> bloopletech: "./foo.php" works, as does "php ./foo.php". "./foo.php &" does nothing until I fg it
[05:52] <Alec|2> im not sure hmw
[05:52] <Nomikos> bloopletech: this is the script: http://codepad.org/jT5EWr5K
[05:52] <ejv> ^Phantom^: keep in mind that your mileage will vary for different programs running under WINE. It's the wild wild west.
[05:52] <^Phantom^> Hehe.
[05:52] <Alec|2> hmw, when i ran this tool under file system it says : extended partition
[05:52] <hmw> Nomikos: interesting. you could ask in #php, too, perhaps this behaviour is intended...?
[05:53] <Nomikos> hmw: they sent me here :-/ but one guy was able to reproduce it.
[05:53] <bloopletech> Nomikos: wait... what behaviour are you expecting?
[05:53] <jshmoe24> lynix you here man?
[05:53] <hmw> Alec|2: ah. try sda5 instead
[05:53] <bloopletech> Nomikos: does it touch a foobar file in the working directory?
[05:53] <Nomikos> bloopletech: it should run, create the file foobar
[05:53] <Nomikos> bloopletech: it does not
[05:53] <Alec|2> hmw, sda5 is linux-swap, should i still do it?
[05:53] <jshmoe24> @lynix : I have already went into recovery mode and did dpkg fixing and did sudo apt-get install -f but still nothing. My update manager tries to do it and hangs too.
[05:54] <bloopletech> Nomikos: your problem is probably that backgrounding it changes the CWD and cuts off STDIN and STDOUT
[05:54] <bloopletech> Nomikos: change the touch line to be an absolute path
[05:54] <jshmoe24> also I cant burn dvds either for some reason
[05:54] <hmw> Alec|2: continue trying to mount. next: sda6. one should be your OS partition (verify it, before doing the grub repair)
[05:54] <jshmoe24> its really wierd
[05:54] <Nomikos> bloopletech: hmm.. a more complicated script had the same behaviour but I'll try
[05:54] <hmw> Alec|2 did you pastebin the output of    sudo fdisk -l   already?
[05:55] <jshmoe24> r u there lynix?
[05:55] <Alec|2> hmw, here is a disk utility output http://paste.ubuntu.com/555317/
[05:55] <Nomikos> bloopletech: it's the same with a full path
[05:56] <Drainix> Hello, I recently connected a HDMI cable to my monitor, my monitors maximum resolution is 1680x150 at 60Hz. I set it to that resolution and all the other offered resolution in the ATI administrative control center yet, there are black bars on the top, bottom, right and left depending on particular resolution, but I can not find one that just fits, any help is appreciated.
[05:56] <Alec|2> sda3 is the 118 gbs where ubuntu supposedly was hmw
[05:56] <Nomikos> jobs shows "[1]+ Stopped       ./testing.php" and fg will run it, create the file, echo, etc
[05:56] <Alec|2> also, mounting sda5 (the swap did not work) hmw, and there is no sda6
[05:56] <shifnix> bloopletech: interestingly, i cna't get the ATI driver to show iup in the restricted drivers manager for the life of me
[05:57] <bloopletech> Nomikos: hang on
[05:57] <Drainix> Sorry maximum resolution is 1680x 1050 60 Hz *
[05:57] <hmw> Alec|2 according to the info you pastebinned, you managed to delete your linux partition. There should be a big unused gap in your extended.
[05:57] <Alec|2> there is hmw
[05:57] <bloopletech> shifnix: I don't trust that dialog box ;), what's happening for you at the moment?
[05:57] <Alec|2> does that mean my files might be recoverable?
[05:57] <shifnix> the Internet was distracting me; about to reboot
[05:57] <shifnix> i'm assuming just restarting X won't cut it?
[05:57] <jshmoe24> did lynix and bazhang both forget about me?
[05:58] <jshmoe24> hello guys :)
[05:58] <hmw> Alec|2: your output says otherwise. There is only a 11 GB swap partition.
[05:58] <root_> helow
[05:58] <bloopletech> Nomikos: run php -v and see if the PHP executable is under the CLI or the CGI SAPI?
[05:58] <Drainix> SADFACE
[05:58] <jshmoe24> hello root_  can you help me?
[05:58] <root_> Ny indians hear
[05:58] <Drainix> I spend like 5 minutes typing my help question thing and get no help :(
[05:58] <root_> ya
[05:58] <Alec|2> hmw, my partition editor says there is 112 gb in sda3 as unallocated, this is where my linux partition should be
[05:59] <bloopletech> Drainix: ooh diddums. So you're using the ati propietry driver?
[05:59] <Alec|2> is there any way to install ubuntu with minimal damage to any files that might not have been deleted?
[05:59] <Nomikos> bloopletech: http://codepad.org/UBDMtDm3
[05:59] <jshmoe24> I have already went into recovery mode and did dpkg fixing and did sudo apt-get install -f but still nothing. My update manager tries to do it and hangs too.
[05:59] <root_> jshmoe24 i wil............
[05:59] <bloopletech> Drainix: Is there an overscan option in the control center?
[05:59] <hmw> Alec|2 an extended partition is just a place holder for more partitions, if you used up the 4 primary ones. your sda3 is containing sda5 in a sense.
[05:59] <christhecoolboy> how do I make my own theme?
[05:59] <jshmoe24> libc6 dependency problems
[05:59] <jshmoe24> @root
[05:59]  * Nomikos waves at sladen 
[05:59] <root_> ???
[06:00] <jshmoe24> cant burn any dvds either just quit
[06:00] <Alec|2> so do you think all of my data is unrecoverable hmw?
[06:00] <jshmoe24> with update i thing
[06:00] <jshmoe24> think*
[06:00] <Nomikos> bloopletech: AFAIK it's a standard apt-get install php5-cli, if that helps
[06:00] <bloopletech> Nomikos: yeah, it's CLI, one sec
[06:01] <root_> its the problem of ur dvd driver......... <please reinstall it
[06:01] <jshmoe24> its my dvd driver ?
[06:01] <jshmoe24> really
[06:01] <jshmoe24> how do you get that
[06:01] <Ganymede> I'm reading this post-install script that someone else wrote...he put some enivironment variables in (MATLAB_JAVA) in /etc/environment but others (like JAVA_HOME and EC2_PRIVATE_KEY) in /etc/profile...why are the environment variables split across these two files?
[06:01] <hmw> Alec|2: it is theoretically recoverable, unless the sectors had been written to, which is unlikely in your situation. Get your disk to a professional in order to recover your stuff. If you can't afford it, learn how to and then clone your disk (dd perhaps), then try some recovery tools/procedures on the COPY.
[06:01] <jshmoe24> one sec ill try to find asource tar file for it
[06:02] <Alec|2> hmw, I have some experience with file recovery tools
[06:02] <Alec|2> i think ill use that
[06:02] <Alec|2> thank you, ill do that now
[06:02] <bloopletech> Nomikos: try ./foo.php -- &
[06:03] <root_> how can i install flash player...........?
[06:03] <root_> how can i install flash player...........?
[06:03] <bloopletech> also are you sure the absolute path is correct?
[06:03] <root_> how can i install flash player...........?
[06:03] <bloopletech> root_: try google
[06:03] <Loshki> Alec|2: you could try testdisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk)
[06:03] <Nomikos> bloopletech: same, with and without "php" in front of it
[06:03] <hmw> spam is off topic lol
[06:03] <Alec|2> thank you hmw
[06:03] <christhecoolboy> I'm asking a question but not getting an answer
[06:04] <bl4ckh4t> hi people
[06:04] <a3452336634357> hey guys. Does anyone know how to remove menu popup delay in ubuntu?
[06:04] <hmw> probable reason: nobody knows really.
[06:04] <bloopletech> Nomikos: hmm, in other news, you can drop the '-q' - it's not a valid otion to the phpcli binary
[06:04] <Nomikos> bloopletech: another channel suggested it was related to stty and to try "stty -tostop", but that didn't do it either
[06:04] <HunterBukowski> hola
[06:05] <christhecoolboy> I ask a simple question that I do not know "how do I make my own theme on ubuntu?", and nobody knows...
[06:05] <Nomikos> dropped
[06:05] <hmw> christhecoolboy: ^   ... you will have to find various dirs and adjust scripts aso. Start slowly by changing a working theme.
[06:05] <bazhang> christhecoolboy, its outside the scope of this channel
[06:05] <heslam> christthecoolboy: i recommend studying an existing theme. to be honest that's the best literature i've found on the subject too
[06:05] <heslam>  "go look at existing themes" :P
[06:05] <christhecoolboy> bazhang, what channel should I go to then?
[06:06] <Ganymede> There's a serious bootstrapping issue with that...how did the person write the first theme ever?
[06:06] <shifnix> bloopletech: bad news,,,lots of artifacts :(
[06:06] <HunterBukowski> christ:  christ I don't know
[06:06] <bazhang> christhecoolboy, as others have said, check existing ones and learn how those are put together
[06:06] <Ganymede> Using the source as documentation?
[06:06] <bloopletech> shifnix: pastie your latest xorg config
[06:06] <hmw> christhecoolboy: I suppose, there is no channel for your question.
[06:06] <christhecoolboy> if I edit one, I cant submit it to canoicsal, can I?
[06:06] <christhecoolboy> *canoical
[06:06] <shifnix> bloopletech: i don't have one by default. i made one to force the VESA driver before, but i moved that so x wouldn't load it
[06:06] <bloopletech> Nomikos: try ./php > temp.txt 2>&1 &
[06:07] <bazhang> christhecoolboy, you could put it up at gnome-look.org
[06:07] <bloopletech> shifnix: Log, not config :)
[06:07] <bloopletech> sorry
[06:07] <christhecoolboy> bazhang, I wanted it to be  a part of ubuntu
[06:07] <a3452336634357> hey guys. Does anyone know how to remove menu popup delay in Ubuntu?
[06:07] <shifnix> bloopletech: np, sec
 sorry for the delay
 I am using the ati propitiatory driver uh I think
[06:07] <bloopletech> christhecoolboy: then you'll need to liase with the people behind the update manager
[06:07] <Drainix> And I will look for overscan option
[06:08] <shifnix> bloopletech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555323/
[06:08] <bloopletech> Drainix: I've had similar problems (but with the open source driver). Note your TV may also have an option on handling the input
[06:08] <Nomikos> bloopletech: it does create the temp.txt file, but there's no data in it, until I fg it again
[06:09] <Nomikos> at which point it also creates the foobar file (from the script)
[06:09] <Drainix> It is actually a computer monitor.
[06:09] <bloopletech> Nomikos: and you're saying it then works? hmmm
[06:09] <Ganymede> If I want to tune2fs my / to lower the percentage of reserved blocks, do I have any other options other than booting into, say, a LiveCD?
[06:09] <Drainix> And I can not find any input options in the menu, <bloopletech>
[06:09] <Nomikos> bloopletech: well... the php code doesn't actually run, until I fg it
[06:09] <Nomikos> at which point, yes, it runs fine. It also runs fine when started in the foreground
[06:09] <bloopletech> Nomikos:  ok that's really wierd, may be a PHPism
[06:10] <Drainix> Should I try installing the open source drivers ? bloopletech
[06:10] <bloopletech> shifnix: That looks a lot healthier - what do you mean specifically by artifacts?
[06:10] <Nomikos> bloopletech: can you reproduce it - if you're willing?
[06:10] <bloopletech> Drainix: I don't know if that would improve things, hang on
[06:10] <bloopletech> Nomikos: I don't have php installed osrry ;)
[06:10] <Drainix> bloopletech: You seem very busy take your time :)
[06:10] <Nomikos> bloopletech: fair enough
[06:10] <wookienz> guys, why does my NFS share get mounted as UId "1024" gid "users". the only permissions on it are rw for owner. nothing else. ideas?
[06:11] <bloopletech> Nomikos: I'd google around the php manual / forums / IRC / see if anyone else on linux has the same issue
[06:11] <root_> how can i install flash player...?
[06:11] <hmw> Nomikos: bloopletech: that's what I suspect; because it is a language mainly for web pages, it might be intentional behavior. I'd ask in #php to rule this out. If it turns out, that it is not normal behavior, perhaps people in #bash can help.
[06:11] <hmw> !flash
[06:12] <Loshki> Ganymede: no, you pretty much need a livecd to do that kind of change on the root filesystem....
[06:12] <Nomikos> hmw: I did ask in #php, one guy could reproduce it and said to ask here
[06:12] <bloopletech> hmw: yeah, well php has a specific CLI binary for running scripts from the commandline - so it's wierd that it would wait for a signel to work
[06:12] <Ganymede> Loshki, Okay, thank, I was wondering if there was some GRUB option or something to boot into an alternate root of some sort from where I could modify my / filesystem.
[06:12] <mister_m> does anyone have experience with tiling window managers? Could someone recommend me one that is easy to get started with ?
[06:12] <hmw> Nomikos: bloopletech: I see. I have no idea, what could be wrong. Can you pastebin the PHP source? But I doubt, the error is there.
[06:13] <bloopletech> Drainix: I'll put it this way - the propietry driver may be more likely to have a simple option to fix it. OTOH I actually have some familiarity with the open source driver, and I know how to twiddle more knobs - but the driver probably has less overall support for 3d etc.
[06:13] <Nomikos> hmw: http://codepad.org/jT5EWr5K
[06:13] <bloopletech> Drainix: btw which chipset do you have?
[06:13] <jshmoe24> @root : the website where you download the drivers for my machine which is an acer extensa 5620 is at ==> http://support.acer.com/us/en/product_support.aspx?tab=1  <==  but they
[06:13] <Drainix> uhm
[06:13] <Nomikos> hmw: that's without the -q and with a full path, in my updated file
[06:13] <Drainix> Chipset uhm i do not know >.< sorry I don't even have my computer specs memorized
[06:14] <jshmoe24> but there are only windows drivers there
[06:14] <jshmoe24> no linux drivers
[06:14] <Drainix> bloopletech: how could I identify my chipset?
[06:14] <Nomikos> hmw, bloopletech: thanks for your suggestions and time, I think for now I'll just start it in a screen session and detach that. Tomorrow I'll try more google fu
[06:15] <bloopletech> Drainix: there should be a bit in the control center with the name of your card, Like Radeon xxxx blah blah
[06:15] <bloopletech> give me that
[06:15] <a3452336634357> hey guys. Does anyone know how to remove menu popup delay in Ubuntu?
[06:15] <Drainix> ooh
[06:15] <bloopletech> Nomikos: np
[06:15] <jshmoe24> basically i needa linux alternative driver for an acer extenza 5620 by what your saying, so is there a site that i can find that at?
[06:15] <jshmoe24> @root_
[06:15] <hmw> Screen is a nice "solution" heh.
[06:15] <Drainix> ATI Radeon HD 3450
[06:15] <Loshki> Ganymede: you could create an alternative root system e.g. copy / to a spare partition, then boot the spare, and modify /, but that's a lot more work than just booting the livecd. You might wanna backup the root partition before you go making changes, so having a spare root partition isn't a bad idea anyway...
[06:15] <Drainix> bloopletech: ATI Radeon HD 3450
[06:15] <shifnix> bloopletech: it looks like this: http://shifuimam.com/misc/Screenshot.png
[06:15] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: break it down into the actual different pieces of hardware you have, and see which bits need drivers
[06:15] <Nomikos> hmw: suggestions welcome :)
[06:15] <bloopletech> Drainix: shifnix one sec
[06:16] <hmw> Nomikos: I am doing a web search right now
[06:16] <Ganymede> Loshki, Thanks for the advice.
[06:16] <jshmoe24> I have that from the site but hte drivers are in windowz format
[06:16] <jshmoe24> @bloopletech
[06:16] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: you will need to source drivers from elsewhare, I already told ytou what to do
[06:17] <mister_m> does anyone have experience with tiling window managers? I'm looking for one that is easy to get started with
[06:17] <bazhang> mister_m, perhaps awesome
[06:17] <Nomikos> hmw: don't put too much time in it, I've spent way too long on it already. Tomorrow I'll describe the issue better in a longer pastebin with the things I've tried, and show that in #bash and similar
[06:17] <bazhang> mister_m, there are a number in the repos
[06:18] <bloopletech> Drainix: your chipset should have a reasonable level of support - it may be worth a try if you have a fair bit of time
[06:18] <hmw> Nomikos: well... you got me started *g* i might not be here tomorow :/
[06:18] <mister_m> bazhang, I was considering dwm
[06:18] <bl4ckh4t> ya
[06:18] <dsevigny> Would anyone be willing to help me set up/configure an irc server for use with a game server I'm running? I'm fairly new to irc but very keen on learning
[06:18] <mister_m> bazhang, I suppose I should just try them all out
[06:19] <Nomikos> hmw: just saying, if you have something more important to do .. but I'm not stopping you ;-)
[06:19] <hmw> :)
[06:19] <bloopletech> shifnix: well that is wack
[06:19] <shifnix> bloopletech: i know :(
[06:19] <bloopletech> shifnix: hmm
[06:19]  * Nomikos will be here for a while yet, and leave irssi running
[06:19] <shifnix> it makes terminal completely unusable
[06:19] <bloopletech> shifnix: you're running 10.10 with gnome right?
[06:19] <mister_m> unrelated to my previous question, but I somehow managed to stop my open apps from appearing on the 'panel' I have on the bottom of my screen. How do I get them back?
[06:19] <bloopletech> shifnix: are you running compiz?
[06:19] <shifnix> bloopletech: no. it won't enable.
[06:20] <hmw> Nomikos: did you try to call your script with php <scriptname> and WITHOUT the sheebang?
[06:20] <bloopletech> shifnix: as in, the option is greyed out?
[06:20] <Nomikos> hmw: ..that one, not yet. hold on
[06:20] <Drainix> bloopletech: I have nothing but time,Just no idea what to do.:)
[06:21] <root_> Can i get gtalk ????
[06:21] <mister_m> do i need to add something back to the panel?
[06:21] <Nomikos> hmw: same :/
[06:21] <shifnix> bloopletech: it's not grayed out, but when i click it, the screen flashes a few times and i get a popup saying that desktop effects could not be enabled
[06:21] <bazhang> mister_m, reset panels to default?
[06:21] <bazhang> !resetpanels | mister_m
[06:21] <bloopletech> shifnix: hmm hang on
[06:22] <shmup> sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
[06:22] <shmup> , running 10.04 server
[06:22] <mister_m> bazhang, thanks boss
[06:22] <bazhang> shmup, whats the full command
[06:22] <shmup> sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
[06:23] <bloopletech> Drainix: first thing is to double-check that the monitor doesn't have any config options itself
[06:23] <shmup> i'm just trying to install sun's java
[06:23] <bazhang> sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" shmup
[06:24] <shmup> what is it requiring after that?
[06:24] <shmup> its sitting there, still
[06:24] <shmup> wanted me to type _something_
[06:24] <Drainix> bloopletech: I installed no drivers with the monitor and the only thing I see that looks like it could help is auto adjust (Greyed out cant use) and Positioning which is also greyed out.
[06:24] <jshmoe24> @bloopletech thats a good question if you look at this => http://support.acer.com/us/en/product_support.aspx?tab=1  <== thats the windows one
[06:24] <bazhang> shmup, update your sources.list after that then install it
[06:24] <jshmoe24> I cant find anything in linux for this situation
[06:24] <bloopletech> Drainix: Yeah I meant on the monitor hardware itself, so if no option then:
[06:25] <jshmoe24> @bloopletech
[06:25] <Drainix> bloopletech: Wow.
[06:25] <Drainix> bloopletech: fixed it.
[06:25] <bloopletech> Drainix: second is to grab the latest version of the propietry drivers for linux, install them, and see if there's a scaling / overscan slider. try using that
[06:25] <bloopletech> wut
[06:25] <Drainix> lmfao
[06:25] <Drainix> I hit the factory reset option
[06:25] <bloopletech> Drainix: HURR DURRR
[06:25] <Drainix> Guess I should have tried that first, but I never changed any settings.
[06:25] <Drainix> bloopletech: sorry to waist your time :P
[06:26] <Drainix> bloopletech: thank you though xD
[06:26] <jshmoe24> @bloopletech thats a good question if you look at this => http://support.acer.com/us/en/product_support.aspx?tab=1  <== thats the windows one
[06:26] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: what exactly is your issue? Does your computer work? What does / doesn't work? Linking to some POS Acer page is not going to solve you rproblem. As I said at forst, find out what's nto working and then research the specific problem
[06:26] <bloopletech> Drainix: no problem :0

[06:29] <jshmoe24> you offered so I accepted :)
[06:30] <jshmoe24> Just PM me

[06:30] <Datz> !seen suihkulokki
[06:30] <jshmoe24> ok nvm
[06:30] <pootietang> sup peeps!
[06:30] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: Looks like your computer will work fine, you need to get the nvidia propietry driver and install that, most other things should work
[06:30] <CYR4N0> I've been having this problem lately where my mouse and keyboard stop working and the mouse pointer gets stuck at a point on the screen and the mouse can move it at most a centimeter and it jumps back imediatly this happens once every couple of days and the keyboard seems to only respond with the NUM lock and caps lock lights but i can not revert back to TTY1/2/3 etc. and even if i unplug them (usb wireless) i can not plug in anoter as they still do the sa
[06:30] <CYR4N0> me with the mouse and keyboard
[06:30] <bloopletech> shifnix: heh :)
[06:30] <shifnix> bloopletech: so, does it looks like i may be SOL on OpenGL support?
[06:31] <jshmoe24> I dont have invidea
[06:31] <jshmoe24> on mine
[06:31] <bloopletech> shifnix: those issues are real strange considering that your card should be fairly well supported - try going to #radeon and asking there
[06:31] <bloopletech> shifnix: those guys are the experts ;)
[06:31] <jshmoe24> I dont' have nvidea hardware
[06:31] <shifnix> bloopletech: thanks
[06:32] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: ok then you should be fine. Does your computer work at the moment?
[06:32] <bloopletech> shifnix: np
[06:32] <jshmoe24> no it will not burn and keeps giving pop ups about libc6 dependecy problems
[06:33] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: ? libc6 problems should be unrelated to driver problems
[06:33] <jshmoe24> this is the driver i need a linux version for -->
[06:33] <jshmoe24> VGA Intel v7 14 10 1227
[06:33] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: if you's just reported these issues in the first plkace we would have been able to help a lot faster
[06:33] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: why do you think you need a driver for that? Is there something wring with your graphics?
[06:33] <jshmoe24> I did tho'
[06:34] <jshmoe24> I have been the whole time
[06:34] <jshmoe24> look in past posts
[06:34] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: ok I see now
[06:34] <jshmoe24> So maybe we need to fix some libc6 dependency problems first
[06:35] <jshmoe24> then the dvd drive will work too
[06:35] <jshmoe24> ya know

[06:35] <chd> has anyone seen "The social network"?
[06:35] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: how did you set this system up? Has this been a problem since you installed buuntu, or did it only start recently?
[06:35] <jshmoe24> only recently
[06:35] <jshmoe24> during bad apt-get command s
[06:35] <chd> that's kubuntu he's using isnt it?
[06:36] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: what were you trying to install?
[06:37] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: you still there?
[06:38] <jshmoe24> cant really remember but it was just updating one day and then now it says libc6 dependency error try apt-get install --f and that just fails
[06:38] <jshmoe24> @bloopletech
[06:38] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: first one thing
[06:39] <jshmoe24> whats up
[06:39] <jshmoe24> ?
[06:39] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: if you're directing your messages at someone in particular, can you just do "bloopletech: <blah>"
[06:39] <spinach> ping
[06:39] <jshmoe24> ok
[06:39] <bloopletech> rather than doing it over 2 lines, it'a bit distracting
[06:39] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: Can you pastie what happens when you try to do that apt-get thing?
[06:39] <bloopletech> spinach: PONG
[06:39] <jshmoe24> with  that previous format
[06:40] <jshmoe24> ok one sec

[06:41] <Avasz> hi, i installed mono in ubuntut to use dotnet. but i dont know how to use it
[06:42] <Avasz> how to start it?
[06:42] <hmw> Nomikos: did only scan that page, so not sure, if it will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=977332 but looks promising...
[06:42] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: yeah, try running "sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update"
[06:42] <bloopletech> Avasz: in the terminal, do mono <exe file>
[06:42] <jshmoe24> "bloopletech: <ok give me a sec and ill try it.>"
[06:43] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: you don't have to type the quote marks or angle rackets ;)
[06:43] <Avasz> bloopletech, so that means... i first of all script in text editor and run by mono <exe file> ?
[06:43] <bloopletech> Avasz: Oh
[06:43] <bloopletech> Avasz: one sec
[06:43] <jshmoe24> ok it went through and updated
[06:43] <Nomikos> hmw: yeah, that looks like it exactly
[06:43] <Avasz> bloopletech, ok
[06:43] <Nomikos> hmw: thanks!
[06:43] <hmw> yw
[06:44] <bloopletech> Avasz: take a look at http://monodevelop.com/, I think the main mono program only lets you run compiled programs, not develop/compile programs in .NET
[06:44] <Avasz> bloopletech, ok.
[06:44] <jshmoe24> but there is still a problem with the icon on the top bar saying libct6 error>

[06:46] <jshmoe24> sorry newb to irc :)
[06:46] <jshmoe24> pic<> or something?
[06:46] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: use something like imageshack

[06:46] <rww> !imagebin
[06:46] <jshmoe24> ok i got one
[06:47] <jshmoe24> yes imageshack works

[06:49] <jshmoe24> "@bloopletech: <Hope that helps>"
[06:49] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: right, ok, go back to the terminal and do "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[06:50] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: and if the output looks bad, pastie it
[06:50] <jshmoe24> ok it goes through now
[06:50] <jshmoe24> it goes staight through
[06:51] <jshmoe24> but I bet I will still have the libc6 dependency problem and the dvd drive problem
[06:51] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: ok, once that's finished, reboot, and then see if the libc6 problem is resolved
[06:51] <jshmoe24> "bloopletech: <but were on the right track for sure here>"
[06:51] <bloopletech> jshmoe24: yeah\
[06:53] <Nomikos> hmw: this works: "./testing.php < yadda &" where yadda is an empty file
[06:54] <glaceman> hey guys, i have an external usb cd-rom drive, not being recognized by ubuntu when i plug it, any ideas please ?
[06:54] <Hi-TechHate> Just wondering if anyone can help. Recently installed ubuntu 10.10 and everything was working fine for a couple days now it seems whenever i run more then one app or sometime just firefox it just freezes up and i have to reboot.... there a bug fix or a update im missing?
[06:55] <Nomikos> hmw: I don't know how I did not find anything on this issue while googling.. it's late, I guess
[06:55] <Nomikos> hmw: but thanks again for the link :)
[06:55] <smerz> Hi-TechHate, unlike that's it's an update. the updater notifies you if you got any left to install
[06:56] <aurilliance> I've just installed the scribes editor, but the sliding menu and status bars are really really laggy on my netbook. Any way to change the config and stop them sliding it?
[06:57] <Bluefever> Hey, I'm trying to diagnose whats going bad on my computer.
[06:58] <Bluefever> Sometimes when I turn it on no picture or sound will be sent to the monitor
[06:58] <Bluefever> I just replaced the power supply because I thought that was the problem at first.
[06:59] <shifnix> bloopletech: good news - it looks like OpenGL is working, and i was able to enable compositing, and now terminal appears to be artifact-free
[06:59] <smerz> does this issue happen before OS start Bluefever ?
[06:59] <Bluefever> Yes.
[06:59] <smerz> then it is ubuntu independent :)
[06:59] <smerz> but check cabling if you have not done that yet
[06:59] <bloopletech> shifnix: wow cool - what fixed it?
[06:59] <Bluefever> I made sure everything was tight
[06:59] <shifnix> bloopletech: i lied, terminal still artifacts with lots of text output :\
[07:00] <Bluefever> Well, it did this funny thing. I started it and right when the Ubuntu music plays at startup, the music kept looping at the end, and I couldn't move my mouse.
[07:01] <Bluefever> Or put any commands
[07:01] <bloopletech> anyway I've got to go do some work, I'll see you around
[07:02] <smerz> Bluefever, could  be a lot of things. But mostly hardware
[07:02] <smerz> issues that is
[07:02] <jshmoe24> @bloopletech: <this is what happened after the reboot "http://img26.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1ay.png/">"
[07:02] <Bluefever> You suppose something is failing @smerz
[07:02] <jshmoe24> "@bloopletech: what do ya think?
[07:03] <smerz> Bluefever, yeah
[07:03] <Bluefever> I thought it could be the CMOS battery, but the symptoms don't seem to fit.
[07:03] <smerz> check if your fans are okay
[07:03] <Bluefever> Fans are good.
[07:03] <smerz> see if any heat develops and maybe overheats cpu
[07:04] <smerz> try ram
[07:04] <smerz> diff. ram and or cpu
[07:04] <smerz> :(
[07:04] <jshmoe24> @bloopletech: <this is what happened after the reboot "http://img26.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1ay.png/">"
[07:04] <jshmoe24> "@bloopletech: what do ya think?
[07:04] <Bluefever> Ram can go bad @smerz
[07:04] <smerz> i haven't had it happen to me
[07:04] <Hi-TechHate> smerz: thanks checked the update manager and its up-to-date i guess i will just keep a eye on what im doing everytime the mouse freezes and it locks-up and see if i can get it worked out then. Forums seem to be filled with the same problem just no solution.
[07:05] <smerz> but yeah i think they can fail too :)
[07:05] <smerz> Hi-TechHate, try live cd. see if it happens in there
[07:05] <Bluefever> So I guess I'll try to narrow it down.
[07:05] <Bluefever> I know it isn't the power supply, because I just replaced that.
[07:06] <Bluefever> My motherboard has an integrated video card, so its either the motherboard, the hard drive, or the CMOS battery. Those are just my guesses.
[07:06] <peyton_westlake> Can anyone recommend a really good site to help me edit my xorg.conf with or without using randr?
[07:07] <peyton_westlake> I'd prefer to not use randr.

[07:12] <peyton_westlake> sam-_-: I'm not sure. With what searching I did, I came across a few different threads that recommended it when trying to set up video and display settings. I found that it didn't work so well for me.
[07:12] <jshmoe24> I think 10.04LTS is much more stable than 10.10 ever could be anyone agree?

[07:14] <sam-_-> Eagle, it will. but you won't have much fun
[07:15] <mainusr> you need more ram, it will be slow

[07:16] <mainusr> minimum of 500 mb of ram will give you a reasonable machine
[07:16] <Eagle> sam-_-:  Fun, Im having fun on my PC, This is just for someone else who wants to use it for web browseing only.

[07:17] <syddraf> Right now, I have nothing. But ill look into sshfs
[07:17] <Eagle> sam-_-: And he only wants ubuntu 10.10
[07:18] <sam-_-> Eagle, you can try it but it will very likely be a bit slow. browser tend to need a lot of ram these days.

[07:21] <opensauce> no.

[07:22] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: I have already got 2 xp installs
[07:22] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: the basic tools don't cut it because they don't let me specify this third partition

[07:23] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: as far as I remember, you have to use the advanced partitionning system indeed
[07:23] <mister_m> is there like a graphical filebrowser application I can run if I am not using gnome as my desktop environment? I'm not great enough on the command line yet

[07:25] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: you don't need to do anything on your ms partitions in the partitionning tool. Just specify the different mountpoints for your ubuntu partition(s), or just one if you only need a root partition (/)
[07:25] <sam-_-> peyton_westlake, so you only have a resolution problem?

[07:26] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: just specify / as mountpoint for /dev/sdb6
[07:26] <Blue1> mister_m: not tried wmi
[07:26] <mister_m> Blue1, I'll have to set the desktop not to show though
[07:26] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  Yes I see pretty clearly how to chooose the right partition and set it up to be formatted ext4 with mount point "/" and this is all greek to me.  The remaining questions are: do i need a swap partition and where do i put the boot loader
[07:26] <peyton_westlake> sam-_- : Yes, a resolution problem. And now it seems that my graphics drivers aren't being recognized.
[07:26] <DannyButterman> and 1.5x your ram as swap space
[07:27] <mister_m> Blue1, I like it so far - it is different. I am waaaay used to the gnome environment though
[07:27] <mister_m> Blue1, so it is a big change going to a tiled WM
[07:27] <opensauce> :(
[07:27] <sam-_-> opensauce, post the output of "sudo /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober"
[07:27] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  I don't see any additional option to specify a swap partition...I have two remaining partitions but one of them is 60GB -- kind of large for a swap ;)
[07:28] <Blue1> mister_m: if you feel brave try this recipe:  http://pkill-9.com/?p=66
[07:28] <sam-_-> peyton_westlake, which graphicscard?
[07:28] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  Also, don't know what to select when it says "Device for boot loader installation"
[07:28] <opensauce> Sam - is that a command? it does nothing?
[07:28] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: yes you do need a swap partition (1.5x your ram amount). also put the bootloader at the start of your first bootable hdd, I guess /dev/sda
[07:28] <peyton_westlake> sam-_- : nvidia 7600gs
[07:28] <sam-_-> opensauce, i expected that
[07:28] <opensauce> ok
[07:29] <sladen> hello Nomikos
[07:29] <sam-_-> !nvidia | peyton_westlake
[07:29] <mister_m> Blue1, I think these tiled WMs are meant for super duper powerusers mostly
[07:29] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: device is probably /dev/sda though I dont know how what your disks are
[07:29] <al_nz1> I think I just killed my GDM desktop. After logging in i get black window/taskbar and clock. Pls HELP
[07:29] <sam-_-> opensauce, if it would work it would give you something back for the windows part.
[07:29] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  Hm.  I was hoping to get two unbuntu boots on here for dev purposes...one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit....if i use that last 60GB partition for swap, it's a total waste
[07:30] <opensauce> sam-_- : ok
[07:30] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: should I maybe boot up in Win XP one last time and re-arrange my partitions?
[07:30] <sam-_-> opensauce, i don't know why grub doesn't detect it anymore.
[07:30] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: the partition-editing tools in this install don't seem particuarly flexible
[07:30] <Blue1> al_nz1: can you get to a terminal?  ctrl+alt+f1
[07:30] <sam-_-> opensauce, you can add it manually though.
[07:30] <opensauce> would you mind helping me adding it?
[07:30] <al_nz1> Blue1: yes
[07:31] <Blue1> al_nz1: do you know how to restart the gdm?
[07:31] <sam-_-> opensauce, sure
[07:31] <al_nz1> no
[07:31] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: of course, you're right, you'll need to make another partition from the remaining hdd free space, but you'll have to specify say 1.5GB of swap, not 60
[07:31] <opensauce> Thank you!
[07:32] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: my computer has two hard drives in it -- both are 250GB.  All of the operating systems are on sdb. sda is a data drive at the moment
[07:32] <Blue1> al_nz1: login and then do the following
[07:32] <sam-_-> opensauce, it should look sth. like this: http://pastebin.com/06uuNgLH
[07:32] <Blue1> al_nz1: sudo service gdm restart
[07:32] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: you should be able to delete, and create partitions at least
[07:32] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: I know i can do this partitioning in XP with the disk management tool.  kind of surprised it's not offered here
[07:32] <Blue1> sneakyimp: that's how my folks machine is set up.
[07:33] <al_nz1> Blue1: ok done and it takes me back to the gui login window
[07:33] <al_nz1> showing me as logged in
[07:33] <sam-_-> opensauce, you need to set root and uuid according to your computer
[07:33] <Blue1> al_nz1: fine just login again.
[07:33] <al_nz1> but when I click on me login the screen goes black before taking me back to the login window again
[07:33] <al_nz1> its a loop!
[07:33] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: about the disk order, is the bios configured to boot on sda or sdb ?
[07:33] <peyton_westlake> sam-_- : Thanks! :-)
[07:34] <al_nz1> also whats different is the login window, not the background just the login window, is like windows classic grey, not full colored like it normally is
[07:34] <Blue1> al_nz1: ahh we'll have to do a bit more detective work -- what was the last thing you did before this problem occured?
[07:34] <opensauce> sam - can I just replace mine with this?
[07:34] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: I don't know ....let me check
[07:34] <al_nz1> Blue1: tyring to get mythtv to install :-(
[07:34] <sam-_-> opensauce, what do you want to replace?
[07:35] <Blue1> al_nz1: oh i can't help you there
[07:35] <opensauce> add then?
[07:35] <opensauce> I am not sure where in the file?
[07:35] <al_nz1> Blue1: what about del the file, is it , x11org.conf?
[07:35] <sam-_-> opensauce, not so fast. we need to set the correct values first.
[07:36] <sam-_-> opensauce, sudo parted -l    post the output to pastebin
[07:36] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  OK this is confusing.  The BIOs has the first drive as ch1 M.    : ST3250410AS
[07:36] <opensauce> sure one sec
[07:36] <Blue1> al_nz1: i wouldn't delete it, i'd rename it -- something like:  sudo mv x11org.conf x11org.conf.bkup
[07:36] <Blue1> oopsa
[07:36] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: and the second one says ch 0 M.     : ST3250410AS
[07:37] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: the drives are identical so i'm not sure which becomes sda and which becomes sdb
[07:37] <opensauce> http://pastebin.com/ZRnrkv1M
[07:37] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: also, i don't know for the most recent releases of ubuntu, but I'd always enjoy a partionning tool in previous versions.
[07:37] <Blue1> al_nz1: that should work
[07:37] <sam-_-> opensauce, also we need the output of: blkid
[07:37] <al_nz1> Blue1: where is x11org kept?
[07:37] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: it's the ch order that matters. So you're booting on ch 1 (sdb)
[07:37] <Blue1> al_nz1: this way you can see what's in the file, rather then just nuking it.
[07:37] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: i do know that sdb has the WinXP partitions on it...no idea where the MBR might be
[07:38] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: put it on /dev/sdb
[07:38] <sneakyimp> OK so CH0 always gets mapped to sda
[07:38] <al_nz1>  - /etc/ ?
[07:38] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: and CH1 always gets sdb?
[07:38] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: yes it does
[07:38] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: OK so To get Ubuntu working on here, I'd need a large partition formatted ext4 with mount point /
[07:39] <Filthy_MacNasty> anyone had any luck with the bttv driver on a hauppage card?
[07:39] <opensauce> http://pastebin.com/paY38khM
[07:39] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: and i would need a a small 3GB swap partition (mounted as /swap i guess)
[07:39] <al_nz1> Blue1: any idea where that file is?
[07:39] <Filthy_MacNasty> I use 20gb for the / and 2 for swap and the rest for /home
[07:39] <potat0> how would I configure DNS servers manually for a VPN?
[07:39] <potat0> openVPN is messing up the route table
[07:40] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: yes
[07:40] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: and ther are many options for the boot loader location...like various partitions, entire hard drives as options, and one option that lists windows
[07:40] <Filthy_MacNasty> with my scenario if you bugger the / you can reinstall and not format the /home
[07:40] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: i would like my boot menu to show both of my XP boots and also my ubuntu boot(s)
[07:40] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: do i want to choose the boot loader option that says "windows"  Is that the finicky Windows boot loader?
[07:40] <BlueFish_> anyone know a tool i could use to defrag my hard dive on ubuntu
[07:40] <Blue1> al_nz1: curse this new keyboard - its /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:41] <Filthy_MacNasty> fsck
[07:41] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: the boot system detects all the OSes and display them for booting don't worry
[07:41] <Blue1> BlueFish_: and why would you need to do that?
[07:41] <Filthy_MacNasty> BlueFish_ use fsck if you feel the need
[07:41] <Filthy_MacNasty> BlueFish_ this isnt your fathers ntfs
[07:41] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: so does it matter where I choose to put my boot loader?  I was under the impression that one must change the MBR ??
[07:41] <Blue1> BlueFish_: hint ext4 doesn't fragment like ntfs of fat does
[07:42] <BlueFish_> because i know that linux dont defrag like windows but whated to see if there was such a tool
[07:42] <sam-_-> opensauce, now put this http://pastebin.com/nPb37EWw
[07:42] <Filthy_MacNasty> put your boot loader in the xp drive and it will handle everything for you
[07:42] <sam-_-> opensauce, into /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[07:43] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: to avoid troubles, just put your bootloader on /dev/sdb. not /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb6, but /dev/sdb
[07:43] <Blue1> BlueFish_: I am not aware of any defraggers that work reliably on ext4, but I could be wrong.
[07:43] <opensauce> one sec
[07:43] <Filthy_MacNasty> there is no need to defrag
[07:43] <Filthy_MacNasty> it just doesnt splatter things all over the drive
[07:44] <sam-_-> opensauce, 40_custom should then look like this http://pastebin.com/yRs7GwBH
[07:44] <opensauce> sam-_- = ok thanks - done... now reboot and see?
[07:44] <constantin_mike> hello
[07:44] <sam-_-> opensauce, no
[07:44] <Filthy_MacNasty> question: with grub2 how do you get that nifty menu that grub used to have?
[07:44] <opensauce> ok
[07:44] <sam-_-> opensauce, sudo update-grub, first
[07:44] <opensauce> update grub
[07:44] <opensauce> aha!
[07:44] <BlueFish_> fsck how do i run that without damaging the file system?
[07:45] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: thanks...booted into xp now and changing partitions
[07:45] <opensauce> ok I ran that
[07:45] <opensauce> now reboot?
[07:45] <al_nz1> well renameing xorg.conf didnt help!
[07:45] <sam-_-> opensauce, was it listed this time?
[07:45] <opensauce> nope
[07:45] <Blue1> BlueFish_: you are aware that fsck MUST be run an an unmounted hard drive, right?
[07:45] <opensauce> sam-_- = the same output as before
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> BlueFish_: i'd advise i
[07:45] <sam-_-> opensauce, could you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> In a livecd
[07:46] <BlueFish_> kk
[07:46] <BlueFish_> thanks
[07:46] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: good luck ;) that shouldn't  be that hard
[07:46] <al_nz1> Blue1: tail var/log/messages?
[07:46] <Blue1> al_nz1: i have never seen mythtv so sorry I can't help
[07:47] <opensauce> ok  http://pastebin.com/w52ZuJbb
[07:47] <al_nz1> Blue1: I am not sure thats what killed it
[07:47] <Blue1> al_nz1: that would be a could place to start, or you can simply do dmesg
[07:47] <constantin_mike> i have a question: i have two users on my system:, mike and joe. i added both to the users group. i want one to be able to see files from the other's home directory. how do i do that?
[07:47] <DannyButterman> Anyone for my scanner problem ?
[07:47] <abhilash> change file permissions
[07:47] <DannyButterman> Epson 1670 ?
[07:47] <sam-_-> opensauce, wrong file :-)
[07:47] <sam-_-> opensauce, could you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[07:48] <opensauce> sorry
[07:48] <Blue1> i am old school i stil use octal permission
[07:48] <constantin_mike> abhilash: i tried for mike, to do chown -R mike:users /home/mike, same for joe, then did sudo chmod -R ug+rwx /home/mike & same for /home/joe
[07:48] <constantin_mike> just won't work
[07:48] <opensauce> http://pastebin.com/XhjxCa2w
[07:48] <Blue1> constantin_mike: let me try to remember how I solved mine
[07:48] <Filthy_MacNasty> DannyButterman http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26911
[07:49] <cryptodira> when minimizing a window, it would go to the bottom panel as an icon... it no longer does that, how did i break that, and how do i fix it?
[07:49] <sam-_-> opensauce, looks good. now reboot and pray ;-)
[07:49] <speeqs> opensauce ur name made me lol
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: make a new group, add both users to the group then make the group the groupowner of the folders both want access to
[07:49] <al_nz1> hey ActionParsnip
[07:49] <constantin_mike> ActionParsnip: how do i make the group, the groupowner of the folders?
[07:50] <constantin_mike> because i do have users, and mike & joe added to users
[07:50] <Blue1> constantin_mike: you are using xsane?
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> cryptodira: rightclick panel -> add item. Add the window list item
[07:50] <opensauce> thanks
[07:50] <opensauce> let me try quick .... brbr (hopefully)
[07:50] <speeqs> Hello, I´m pretty new to Linux so i was wondering if anybody could tell me where to go to get a solid understanding? Please and thank you!
[07:50] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: thanks for the tips, DB.  Are you *sure* i'll see all 3 of my OSes show up if i put boot loader on sdb?  installing those xp things was a chore...hundreds of security updates :(
[07:51] <constantin_mike> what would i use xsane for? i don't have a scanner
[07:51] <sam-_-> speeqs, help.ubuntu.com
[07:51] <Blue1> speeqs: what is your question?
[07:51] <Filthy_MacNasty> constantin_mike chmod -g mike /path/to/dir
[07:51] <Blue1> constantin_mike: my bad I thought you had scanner issues
[07:51] <foul_owl> anyone know why the mouse doesn't work with fpss like sauerbraten when I am running a multimonitor setup using xinerama? the mouse just gets stuck in a corner or edge
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: chown -R :groupname /path/to/folder
[07:51] <cryptodira> ActionParsnip:  that did the trick!  Thank YOU.
[07:52] <speeqs> Thanks you!
[07:52] <quinnw> Why are the file permissions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Create%20Bootable%20USB%20Manually
[07:52] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: unless you accidentally wipe out your windows partitions, you can always modify your bootloader options. Don't worry if it doesn't work at first.
[07:52] <speeqs> and Blue i dont really have specific question, im just trying to get a firm understanding of Linux operating systems
[07:53] <Filthy_MacNasty> or you can go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
[07:53] <Filthy_MacNasty> speeqs whatcha wanna do?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: without the colon, it sets the owner.
[07:53] <quinnw> different from these http://pastebin.com/LWdcLKVX
[07:53] <rumpe1> speeqs, how about browsing wikipedia? :)
[07:53] <Blue1> speeqs: a good book, might be linux in a nutshell let me see if I can find some good ref sites
[07:53] <quinnw> When it's a FAT32 filesystem?
[07:54] <Kazamar> !seen free psyBNC :(
[07:54] <constantin_mike> ActionParsnip: i know that, but i think the last time i tried it, i got an error. now it works, it's still processing
[07:54] <speeqs> Filthy_MacNasty: do as in?
[07:54] <Filthy_MacNasty> I learned from how to insertdesirehere in google
[07:55] <s1LkYsL1m> im running ./configure to begin installing program x with dependencies of program y; configure fails because program y is version 0.0 and it needs to be at least version 1.0 (or whatever) i installed program y 1.0 but configure gives same error.  anyone?
[07:55] <DannyButterman> Filthy_MacNasty: Thank for the link, but as I've said above, I already followed those steps. Scanimage -L tells me it sees the scanner. So far it's doesn't scan  (or outputs a picture for that matter)
[07:55] <Filthy_MacNasty> speeqs what would you like linux to do for you is what I mean
[07:55] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  but waaaah!  i'm scared.  Are you sure I shouldn't select "/dev/sdb1 Windows NT/2000/XP (loader)" ??
[07:55] <constantin_mike> ok, still won't work. now i'm trying sudo chmod -R ug+rwx /home/joe /home/mike, but i get an error about permission denied in /home/mike/.gvfs, cannot access
[07:55] <Filthy_MacNasty> put it on /dev/sdb
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: if there is a lot of data, it will. You can use chmod to change the group access
[07:56] <Filthy_MacNasty> as I said
[07:56] <moses> how do i view my current hardware in ubuntu
[07:56] <Filthy_MacNasty> give joe the group ownership then chmod -g mike /path/to/dir
[07:56] <cafejunkie> I need some help with TFTP and PXE booting...
[07:56] <moses> i dont know what model my graphics card is exactly
[07:57] <Blue1> moses: hardware for?
[07:57] <moses> nvidia driver
[07:57] <rumpe1> moses, lspci , lsusb, lshw...
[07:57] <Blue1> moses: hang a sec
[07:57] <speeqs> Filthy_MacNasty: im not really sure :P as i said im new. One this i had in mind basicly is to be able to use commands fluently and have a good understanding of the directory stucture, honestly im not really sure what else linux is capable of
[07:57] <quinnw> I have followed those instructions to the letter and have been consistently unable to boot from my USB installer. The permissions might not be a clue, but either way this has gotten old.
[07:57] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: Fell free to select this option, but I think its meaning is 'do you want to access the windows bootloader after the ubuntu bootloader'
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: that's because you aren't running the command right. You should NOT do all of the home too, it may cause issues
[07:57] <foul_owl> anyone know why the mouse doesn't work with fpss like sauerbraten when I am running a multimonitor setup using xinerama? the mouse just gets stuck in a corner or edge
[07:57] <Filthy_MacNasty> speeqs grab me in chat
[07:58] <Blue1> moses: this should tell you what you need i think:  grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:58] <cafejunkie> I have DHCP running successfully, and tested TFTP locally. I created the /tftpboot directory, I have pxelinux.0 and other files in there. When I boot the client computer it pulls an address from DHCP okay but then I get a "TFTP open timeout" error
[07:58] <cafejunkie> I'm stumped
[07:58] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  ok boss.  i'm going to choose instead "/dev/sdb ATA ST3250410AS (250.1 GB)"
[07:58] <moses> Blue1, huh?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: read the first command i gave then look at what you ran. They are massively different
[07:59] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  again, the hope is that I'll see all 3 of my OSes (and possibly a fourth to come) from a single boot menu
[07:59] <Blue1> moses: i thought you need information on your nividia driver.  maybe I mis-understood?
[07:59] <moses> i did
[07:59] <moses> but i need to install the driver
[07:59] <Blue1> moses: ahh you didn't say that.
[07:59] <moses> im sorry
[07:59] <quinnw> moses: Then go to Nvidia's site.
[07:59] <quinnw> moses: They have a universal driver :)
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia
[08:00] <Blue1> moses: System/Administration/Additional Drivers
[08:00] <mfaroukg> i am facing a problem with my webcam, it is very slow with Cheese or the google chat on the web and i tried other cams also specially after the last kernel update? how can i fix it ?
[08:00] <moses> ok ultra noob question
[08:00] <quinnw> Or use a distro specific solution and learn nothing :/ Whatever floats your boat.
[08:00] <moses> how do i pop open a console?
[08:01] <Blue1> mfaroukg: backport?
[08:01] <Blue1> moses: alt+f2
[08:01] <ZykoticK9> moses, ctrl+alt+t might work
[08:01] <mfaroukg> Blue1: what is that?
[08:01] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: what you're hoping for is standard bootloader behaviour
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: /home/joe isn't a group, its a folder
[08:02] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  I'll have to take your word for it. Very new to multi-boot installations
[08:02] <Blue1> mfaroukg: i had issues with my lan card, and backporting fixed it -- let me see if I can dig up the orig article
[08:02] <moses> should i get used to this or can i get a full on console window?
[08:02] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  tried using grub once before and got lost
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: if you only use parts of advice you will break your OS
[08:02] <mfaroukg> Blue1: good, because i have also a problem with other hardware too
[08:02] <Blue1> mfaroukg: give this a glance:  http://pkill-9.com/?p=152
[08:03] <quinnw> moses: That IS a full on console. What's your question?
[08:04] <constantin_mike> ActionParsnip: sorry, i was away from my computer for a few minutes. i know that /home/mike is a folder, and i did use your command sudo chown -R :users /home/mike
[08:04] <Blue1> mfaroukg: what version of linux are you running?
[08:04] <Blue1> mfaroukg: cat /etc/issue
[08:04] <moses> i love this OS
[08:04] <sneakyimp> wow, the Ubuntu installer looks really sharp. Very handsome design.
[08:04] <moses> omg!
[08:04] <constantin_mike> ActionParsnip: but after that, it still didn't work
[08:04] <mevkurray> moses: you mean something that looks like ctrl alt f1??
[08:05] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: I had bad experiences before, but it was eons ago. Now linux and ubuntu are much more reliables.
[08:05] <mevkurray> i.e login console?
[08:05] <mfaroukg> Blue1: Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l
[08:05] <quinnw> constantin_mike: That's probabsy because users is the wrong group.
[08:05] <moses> yes
[08:05] <moses> how do i get out of this?
[08:05] <mevkurray> ctrl alt f7
[08:05] <Blue1> mfaroukg: one last question, 32 bit or 64?
[08:05] <mevkurray> normally
[08:05] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  I'll be happy as long as I don't have to go looking for a lost boot record
[08:05] <moses> ty
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: i advise you only run it on user data folders like Music or Pictures
[08:05] <mfaroukg> Blue1: 32 bit
[08:06] <constantin_mike> ActionParsnip: ok, will try
[08:06] <quinnw> constantin_mike: And users is the wrong group.
[08:06] <Blue1> mfaroukg: it's worth trying the backports.  if it doesn't work, then there are directions on how to remove the backports
[08:06] <sneakyimp> Does anyone have an opinion on 64-bit ubuntu?
[08:06] <Blue1> sneakyimp: i use it
[08:06] <constantin_mike> quinnw: i did add mike & joe into users myself
[08:06] <sneakyimp> I was very much hoping to use it as a development platform for a php extension
[08:06] <quinnw> constantin_mike: Mk
[08:06] <sneakyimp> Blue1: so you are running 64-bit?  any issues?
[08:06] <constantin_mike> quinnw: what is Mk ?
[08:07] <sneakyimp> Blue1:  just want to run a basic LAMP server
[08:07] <quinnw> sneakyimp: Ubuntu k64 is fine.
[08:07] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: feel the Force. Don't let yourself succumb to fear ;)
[08:07] <Blue1> sneakyimp: only issue is 64 bit firefox crashes my system (worked fine in 10.04 but not 10.10) not a flash issue.  I have an amd system - ymmv
[08:07] <quinnw> constantin_mike: mx="M-kay" or Ok. Haha.
[08:07] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  i d-d-d-d-d-d-unno man.  Somebody better be ready to call the Waaaaaaahmbulance if this doesn't work
[08:08] <constantin_mike> quinnw: lol ...
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: they are already a member of users when made as far as i know
[08:08] <sneakyimp> Blue1: hm. ever try chrome?
[08:08] <Blue1> sneakyimp: but it runs all my servers and desktop envir too.  chrome and opera work fine.  just no firefox joy
[08:08] <sacarlson> sneakyimp: only problem I see for you is if you use somethingk like firewatir to test with,  I had problems seting it up with the 32bit libs in 64bit, as just a server I guess it should be fine
[08:09] <quinnw> Is my question too noob-ish or does no one know?
[08:09] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: you don't lose anything unless you format your ms partition. Be a man, go ahead ! ;)
[08:09] <sneakyimp> Blue1: that'll work. I want to write some PHP extensions (AMFEXT)
[08:09] <constantin_mike> ActionParsnip: ok, i tried for only one folder (i.e. Desktop) and it works
[08:09] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  it's running.  I crossed myself a few times first.
[08:09] <Blue1> sacarlson: i run the 32 bit version of lightscribe w/o problems however force the archetecture can break a system
[08:10] <sneakyimp> sacarlson:  i'll be doing most work for AMFEXT in 32-bit environment
[08:10] <Blue1> sneakyimp: i don't have php on my system, but I've heard ofno problems with that.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> constantin_mike: good times :-)
[08:10] <sneakyimp> sacarlson:  i just want to test the results on a 64-bit machine
[08:10] <Valen> trying to install 10.10 from livecd, usb-creator silently ignores the amd64 ISO when I tell it to open it, the ISO seems fine md5sum matches and I've extracted everything from it
[08:10] <constantin_mike> ActionParsnip: (& others): thanks
[08:10] <Blue1> sneakyimp: work a try --
[08:10] <Valen> usb-creator.exe coming off the livecd and running in windows xp
[08:10] <Valen> any ideas?
[08:10] <quinnw> sneakyimp: PHP will run the same way on either Arch won't it?
[08:11] <Valen> I tried unetbootn and it kinda worked except for the actuall booting part
[08:11] <Valen> it just gets stuck loading some USB stuff
[08:11] <Blue1> quinnw: it should, but honestly, I don't know
[08:11] <quinnw> sneakyimp: Ah.
[08:11] <Valen> any suggestions?
[08:11] <quinnw> Valen: How long did you wait?
[08:11] <Valen> 20 + minutes so far
[08:11] <moses> i downloaded the .run file from nvidia how do install this via console?
[08:11] <sacarlson> sneakyimp: with 64bit running you can always run a 32bit version in virtualbox to try things you might need,  in 32bit I don't think you can simulate 64bit in virtualbox
[08:12] <Blue1> yeah that's a faily time consuming procedure I know when I did mine, it took like 40 minutes
[08:12] <Valen> turned silent and quiet off to see it actually boot but it pauses
[08:12] <quinnw> moses: Type ./nvidia
[08:12] <Valen> 40 minutes to boot?
[08:12] <Blue1> sneakyimp: what sacarlson said
[08:12] <sneakyimp> quinnw: my C chops are really rusty and there was some code in there that had to do with reversing byte-order for network transmission...i just want to make sure my stuff works on both architectures
[08:12] <moses> nothing?
[08:12] <Blue1> Valen: 40 minutes to put the iso onto the usb flash drive
[08:12] <Valen> the little flashy light on the usb doohickey isnt flashing either
[08:12] <quinnw> moses: Where nvidia is what the file you downloaded is called
[08:12] <Valen> thats not the problem
[08:13] <Valen> usb-creator won't "open" the iso
[08:13] <sneakyimp> sacarlson: thanks for the tip...any more info on 'virtualbox' ?
[08:13] <Valen> i pick it and it ignores it
[08:13] <Valen> does nothing
[08:13] <Blue1> sneakyimp: bump the video to at least 64m
[08:14] <Valen> unetbootin at least loads the iso
[08:14] <Valen> but the usb key wont boot
[08:14] <quinnw> I hate the usb-creator.
[08:14] <Valen> well wont complete booting anyway
[08:14] <Blue1> Valen: i will have to play with usb creater someday in win xp (in a virtual box)
[08:14] <sacarlson> !virtualbox | sneakyimp
[08:14] <Valen> normally I would run it from linux, where usually it fails to actually write to the usb key
[08:14] <Blue1> okay my buttocks are sore, and I am brain dead.  (zombie mode) -- going to say good night folks
[08:15] <quinnw> If it was multi-platform or even available for other Linux systems it would actually be worth the time spent writing it.
[08:15] <Valen> if it worked ok in ubuntu it would be worth it
[08:15] <chalcedony> does anyone remember or know how to stack the similar objects in taskbar? i have it in my old ubuntu 9.04 but now i have 10.04 and need it?
[08:16] <Valen> it seems to suck in a cross platform manner
[08:16] <mfaroukg> Blue1: what is that backport? it doesn't get installed
[08:16] <quinnw> Valen: It works in Ubuntu.
[08:16] <Valen> most of the time when I try and use it in ubuntu it fails to actually write to the stick
[08:17] <Valen> or gets halfway through then fails
[08:17] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: great success!
[08:17] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: thanks for your guidance.
[08:17] <quinnw> Valen: I'm having an issue with making a bootable USB installer. That doesn't mean the steps I'm following "don't work"
[08:17] <sacarlson> sneakyimp: I think there are still problems in some cases with adobe flash in 64bit,  I also had problems with skype, canon printer drivers, watir, jackd and a few other things but with a php server developer I don't see that as a problem for you.
[08:18] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: you're welcome ;)
[08:18] <quinnw> sacarlson: Flash x64 works fine for me now. I don't know which update fixed my problems though.
[08:18] <sneakyimp> sacarlson:  Thanks for the info.  I would be tempted to just sit at the ubuntu box and do everything there (i love nano text editing) so it's good to have the tips
[08:20] <sgt> hello out there im new to di can anybody give some pointers on this
[08:21] <chalcedony> sgt, di?
[08:21] <sgt> dis*
[08:21] <Filthy_MacNasty> disgruntled? disinterested?
[08:21] <Valen> quinnw,I didn't say whatever you were doing "don't work" I said that usb-creator fails 80% of the time for me under ubuntu
[08:21] <Valen> and thus far 100% of the time under windows
[08:22] <Bushman> i have a bluetooth mouse and since i've started to use it the bluetooth dongle dies on me every few seconds/minutes taking the mouse down on the way. here's the last few lines of dmesg: http://bushman.pastebin.com/uQh5nN1q Anyone?
[08:22] <mfaroukg> i am facing a problem with my webcam, it is very slow with Cheese or the google chat on the web and i tried other cams also specially after the last kernel update? how can i fix it ?
[08:24] <Cairo> where are nvidia driver installation logs stored?
[08:24] <Cairo> i forgot xD
[08:24] <Valen> I wish they distributed usb images along with the regular iso's
[08:24] <hiexpo> hi all hey need a little help partioning my drive
[08:24] <Valen> this whole mangle the iso into the usb disk thing sucks
[08:25] <Filthy_MacNasty> Valen you could do that for the rest of us
[08:25] <sacarlson> Cairo: you want to see when they were installed?  maybe look in apt-get or dpkg logs?
[08:25] <Cairo> not when
[08:25] <Cairo> i had an installation error and i want to find the log
[08:25] <Cairo> i just forgot where it said it was
[08:26] <Filthy_MacNasty> hiexpo what kind of help?
[08:26] <hiexpo> right now my drive has an ext 4 partion and swap and 4 gig unused space how do i put that unused space back in
[08:26] <geirha> Cairo: Should be in /var/log/ somewhere, but I don't remember the name, maybe install.log ?
[08:26] <sam-_-> Cairo, /var/log/dpkg.log
[08:27] <Valen> hiexpo, boot live cd
[08:27] <Cairo> ok
[08:27] <AnthLee> hiexpo, use gparted and resize the partition
[08:27] <Valen> delete swap
[08:27] <Valen> create new swap at end of space
[08:27] <hiexpo> ok
[08:27] <Dice-Man> damit
[08:27] <Valen> expand existing partition to fill the space
[08:27] <Valen> (all with gparted)
[08:27] <Dice-Man> i created my swap partition a the begining
[08:27] <Valen> then edit fstab to reflect new uuid
[08:27] <Valen> where is the extra space then?
[08:28] <sneakyimp> ok so i have ubuntu installed, i created an account name for myself, but i cannot do 'su' to become root
[08:28] <Valen> so has anybody had a "really good, just worked" experience with usb-creator?
[08:28] <Filthy_MacNasty> sudo su
[08:29] <hiexpo> i tryed to resize the swap was 5 gigs and shrank it to 1 and now it says unused space
[08:29] <AnthLee> Valen, usually works for me
[08:29] <mfaroukg>  is there a program could be used to dial numbers?
[08:29] <Cairo> well im getting this error
[08:29] <Cairo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/555338/
[08:29] <Filthy_MacNasty> !works for me
[08:29] <sneakyimp> Filthy_MacNasty: THANKS
[08:29] <iDespera1O> hi there, I want to know how to append(not replace) crontab when using crontab file....
[08:29] <Filthy_MacNasty> welcome
[08:29] <AnthLee> he asked O.O
[08:29] <Cairo> im trying to install my driver from tty1 because it doesnt show up in Additional Drivers in ubuntu10.10
[08:30] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: or sudo -i
[08:30] <Filthy_MacNasty> probably because its included in 10.10
[08:30] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: it looks amazing
[08:30] <Irulan> Hello
[08:30] <Filthy_MacNasty> !hi
[08:30] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: i'm amazed.
[08:31] <Cairo> !hi
[08:31] <Filthy_MacNasty> someone made shiny?
[08:31] <Irulan> I got a problem with ubuntu 10.10: my /tmp isn't cleaned at boot time
[08:31] <Filthy_MacNasty> should be cleared at shutdown actually and hurm
[08:32] <Valen> hiexpo, do you have a swap file or a swap partition?
[08:32] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: What is so amazing ? Aren't you used to the pure beauty Ubuntu is ?
[08:32] <Valen> I'm guessing partition
[08:32] <Valen> how big is the rest of the drive?
[08:32] <Filthy_MacNasty> my bet is file wubi style
[08:32] <hiexpo> Valen, yes is 1 gig
[08:32] <Valen> how big is the ext4 partition
[08:33] <sam-_-> Cairo, can we see the nvidia log?
[08:33] <Irulan> the /etc/init/mounted-tmp.conf is configured with "start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/tmp"
[08:33] <sgt> yoo anybody can tell me how to install more effects
[08:33] <hiexpo> Valen, 143 gigs
[08:33] <Valen> if the swap is at the start the only way to grow it is to move the partition to the start of the free space, and that could take *forever*
[08:33] <Cairo> i posted it
[08:33] <sam-_-> Cairo, also did you run it with sudo?
[08:33] <Cairo> or did you mean a different log?
[08:33] <Cairo> ya i ran it with sudo
[08:33] <sam-_-> Cairo, are your kernel headers installed?
[08:33] <Valen> clonezilla and unetbootin worked
[08:34] <Valen> just not ubuntu
[08:34] <Cairo> i think so
[08:34] <Cairo> how do i check?
[08:34]  * Valen is not feeling the love
[08:34]  * Cairo loves Valen
[08:34] <Filthy_MacNasty> sgt sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager then look under preferences
[08:34] <mail> guys what is this new dock i keep seeing in ubuntu shots
[08:34] <Valen> Cairo, if your love came in the form of a working USB key with 10.10 on it and was in my pocket right now I'd considder letting you get away with it
[08:35] <Cairo> oh
[08:35] <Cairo> :(
[08:35] <Filthy_MacNasty> unrequited love
[08:35] <mail> http://www.neowin.net/forum/uploads/monthly_01_2011/post-183474-0-11198400-1295188663.png
[08:35] <mail> the dock in that SS
[08:35] <Valen> though if your a hot chick I'd let you get away with it anyway, your not a "hot chick" by any chance are you?
[08:36] <Filthy_MacNasty> say #ubuntu?!?
[08:36] <hiexpo> Valen, what if i delete the others and start over
[08:36] <sam-_-> Cairo, dpkg -l linux-header-`uname -r`
[08:36] <Valen> hiexpo, might be best if you fired up gparted, opened the disk your talking about and took a screen shot, post it on one of the image paste bin things
[08:36] <Cairo> No packages found matching linux-header-2.6.35-23-generic.
[08:36] <Cairo> is that the latest?
[08:37] <hiexpo> Valen, ok
[08:37] <sam-_-> Cairo, no. it seems you don't have the latest kernel installed but that shouldn't matter
[08:37] <Cairo> ok
[08:37] <sam-_-> !nvidia | Cairo
[08:37] <Filthy_MacNasty> sudo apt-get install linux=header='uname -r'
[08:38] <sam-_-> Filthy_MacNasty, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[08:38] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: this is totally new for me. I'm going to have to figure out how to develop on it natively.  I'm the new maintainer for the PECL extension AMFEXT
[08:38] <sgt> how do u noe if i have da latest kernel
[08:38] <chalcedony> I AM DESPERATE i have windows open and can't find anything, the doggone task bar tabs are all single. How can i make it 'stack' them?
[08:38] <sgt> ??
[08:39] <Valen> heh I think I'm going to love clonezilla
[08:39] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman:  I'm thinking Eclipse for PHP with SVN...i've got a lot to learn
[08:39] <szpreader> hello, being a newbie, I'm wondering what can I set deluge to start @ startup?
[08:40] <chalcedony> please?
[08:40] <chalcedony> google isn't finding it for me.
[08:40] <Cairo> #windows
[08:40] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: great. I'm a php developer too. I also use eclipse with svn for my php projects
[08:40] <sam-_-> sneakyimp, amf = action message format?
[08:41] <Irulan> szpreader: System > Preferences > Startup Applications ?
[08:41] <szpreader> yes, but what should I write there?
[08:41] <Filthy_MacNasty> ompaul by any other name
[08:41] <sneakyimp> sam-_-: yes
[08:42] <szpreader> I took to command, I added "&" and it won't start
[08:42] <speeqs>  /j #hack
[08:42] <Valen> whats the nvidia problem somebody is ah
[08:42] <Irulan> don't add &
[08:42] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: I'm really rusty at the C code stuff. It's been hard getting back on the horse
[08:42] <Valen> having?
[08:42] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: you've really helped
[08:42] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: thanks so much
[08:43] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: you're welcome, I try to help as much as I seek help too - the community you know ;)
[08:44] <sneakyimp> DannyButterman: you've done me right.  Have a good nite.
[08:44] <YankDownUnder> Anyone know if XFCE 4.8 has made it into the repos yet?
[08:44] <DannyButterman> sneakyimp: it's 9:40 here in France ;)
[08:45] <Irulan> szpreader: "deluge-gtk" should work
[08:45] <hiexpo> Valen, http://tinypic.com/r/2ro2sfl/7
[08:46] <chalcedony> does anyone know what i'm talking about - items in the task bar - that i need to have 'stack' instead of being single?
[08:46] <YankDownUnder> chalcedony, Um...are you asking WHAT to stack, or HOW to stack?
[08:47] <chalcedony> YankDownUnder, how
[08:47] <chalcedony> in my 9.04 i had it, but now i have 10.04 and i have a zillion tiny icons and can't see them
[08:47] <YankDownUnder> chalcedony, I use Cairo-dock, so it's part of that - and all my task management is done via Cairo-dock => WITH the MacOSX theme (and it's settings)
[08:48] <chalcedony> i don't know what that is YankDownUnder .. looking
[08:48] <Irulan> chalcedony: right-click on task bar, click on preferences, choose to stack
[08:48] <chalcedony> Irulan, THANKS
[08:48] <YankDownUnder> chalcedony, you can check it out at: http://glx-dock.org
[08:49] <chalcedony> Irulan, i have minimize, maximize, always on top.. i don't see stack ..
[08:50] <osmosis_paul> good morning just one question\
[08:50] <hiexpo> Valen, you still there
[08:51] <osmosis_paul> somebody know how can i change the user/password of my current mysql configuration
[08:52] <Valen> osmosis_paul, update mysql.user set foo=bar where username = whatsit; is the hardcore way
[08:52] <Zeu5> hi there, i have installed a ubuntu server on amazon web services ec2 successfully
[08:52] <Zeu5> i need to add another user account called deploy
[08:52] <Valen> otherwise google, mysql grant
[08:52] <Zeu5> i used this sudo useradd -d /home/deploy -m deploy
[08:52] <Zeu5> and then i copied the .ssh folder over
[08:53] <Zeu5> i can login but i do not see deploy@ip-123-123-123-12 as the command shell
[08:53] <Zeu5> when i do ssh
[08:53] <Zeu5> please advise.
[08:53] <osmosis_paul> Valen, but where can i specify the password?
[08:54] <sam-_-> Zeu5, a whoami will tell you who u are
[08:54] <mfaroukg1> how can i use the fax modem to dial a number and talk through the speaker and the mic?
[08:55] <sam-_-> !ot | mfaroukg1
[08:55] <Valen> osmosis_paul,look at the mysql grant options
[08:55] <Zeu5> sam-_-, that is not the point. my command shell starts with a $ sign instead of my username. please advise
[08:55] <coldfront> you need a voice modem for that mfaroukg1
[08:55] <sam-_-> Zeu5, then adjust your .bashrc
[08:55] <osmosis_paul> Valen, sorry mate where is that
[08:55] <Zeu5> sam-_- how do i do that?
[08:56] <sam-_-> Zeu5, try this: PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
[08:56] <mfaroukg1> coldfront: i can use the fax modem through dialer.exe in the windows xp
[08:57] <coldfront> you might be able to use/see it in dialer.exe but you wont be able to talk without it support voice
[08:58] <mfaroukg1> coldfront: how can i dial a number with the fax modem ?
[08:59] <sam-_-> Zeu5, echo "PS1='$\{debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)\}\u@\h:\w\$ '"  >> .bashrc
[08:59] <sam-_-> Zeu5, to make it permanent
[08:59] <Gnea> hmm
[08:59] <Zeu5> sam-_-, thanks. i will try. first i am going to restart the server
[08:59] <coldfront> a modem can still dial but without the support of voice protocol in the modem it wont work
[09:00] <coldfront> you can use it to send faxes but if it doesnt support the voice protocol on the hardware then you cant talk with it
[09:00] <sam-_-> Zeu5, works only for bash but i do think you use that
[09:01] <Gnea> I've been using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 for quite awhile, and recently I find that I can't connect to wireless networks anymore using wicd.  I noticed that NetworkManager has been running, so I stopped that service, but it didn't do any good. The only way I can get online now is via windows. I've gone through the wifi docs and nothing, the forums don't seem to have this either... the ssid gets set, but dhclient never gets an ip, but it should, what gives?
[09:02] <dan88> gnea: try nm-applet in the terminal
[09:02] <Gnea> dan88: perhaps you didn't read what I said... please read it again.
[09:02] <mfaroukg1> coldfront: good, so let me show you output from the scanModem
[09:02] <hiexpo> Valen, ok i deleted all partions so what do i do first
[09:02] <Gnea> dan88: I had to remove networkmanager-gtk as well
[09:03] <Gnea> it was conflicting with wicd, and I prefer wicd because it normally does a better job at connecting and retaining a connection
[09:03] <sam-_-> Gnea, do it step be step. without wicd. first wpasupplicant then dhclient
[09:03] <mfaroukg1> coldfront: http://pastebin.com/H2WKeRDS
[09:03] <coldfront> mfaroukg1 http://www.modemsite.com/56k/voice.asp
[09:04] <Gnea> sam-_-: okay, it's been awhile since I did it on the commandline. basically, set the ssid with iwconfig, then run dhclient? I'm just trying to connect to an unsecured AP at this point.
[09:04] <sam-_-> Gnea, ok then this should do it i guess.
[09:04] <Gnea> sam-_-: thanks, I'll give it a shot
[09:05] <Irulan> chalcedony: http://i.imagefra.me/a4chyq4a
[09:05] <diddy> If dir thedir  has ownership fred:vboxuser and permissins 770 then why can user dude not cd into that dir if he is in group vboxusers?
[09:06] <sam-_-> diddy, s/vboxuser/vboxusers/
[09:06] <its-me-again> hi si this bug known in ubuntu many multi 5in1 readers aren't supported
[09:06] <syddraf> Is there a way to change the <Super> key from a modifier to an actual key for keybindings?
[09:06] <diddy> sam-_-, what?
[09:07] <sam-_-> diddy, vboxuser != vboxusers
[09:07] <sam-_-> diddy, look at the end :-)
[09:07] <hiexpo> well if anyone finishes helping me i might get ubuntu back installed again
[09:07] <its-me-again> sam the coirect syntax to corect mistakes in irc is *vboxusers
[09:08] <sam-_-> its-me-again, says who?
[09:08] <chalcedony> Irulan, thank you .. i'm trying to figure out how you got that window
[09:08] <diddy> Ahh I see. Sorry. Typo. Here we go: If dir thedir  has ownership fred:vboxusers and permissions 770 then why can user dude not cd into that dir if he is in group vboxusers?
[09:08] <its-me-again> my 20 years on adn off of irc usage.    thats how i see many peopel corect mistakes
[09:09] <its-me-again> its the common way.
[09:09] <sam-_-> its-me-again, i think it just has to be understandable that's all.
[09:09] <its-me-again> sam just for your infomation infuture helping.
[09:09] <sam-_-> its-me-again, y. thx for that ;-)
[09:10] <sam-_-> diddy, did you get what i was trying to tell you?
[09:10] <Irulan> chalcedony: you have to click in the 'windows list applet' zone, not anywhere in the task bar
[09:10] <diddy> sam-_-, yes
[09:10] <hiexpo> ok i have deleted all partitions with gparted need helping reinstalling partitions now
[09:11] <sam-_-> diddy, so... did it help?
[09:11] <diddy> sam-_-, no
[09:11] <diddy> sam-_-, permission denied
[09:11] <feanor> hiexpo, did you deleted neeeded, importantpartitions?
[09:11] <sam-_-> diddy, did you just add him/her to the group?
[09:12] <hiexpo> feanor, i got rid of them all to start over
[09:12] <diddy> sam-_-, yes
[09:12] <sam-_-> diddy, you have to log out then log in again for it to work
[09:12] <diddy> sam-_-, out of the gui?
[09:12] <its-me-again> hi is this bug in ubuntu 10.10 with many multi 5in1 card readers.
[09:12] <sam-_-> diddy, yes, unfortunately
[09:13] <sam-_-> diddy, because gnome-session launches the terminal and it still is in the old environment
[09:14] <hiexpo> feanor, now i need to reinstall partions but dont know how to first
[09:14] <DND> guys. shall i do the normal ubuntu installation when i want it to install it to USB?
[09:15] <DND> and i want to plug that USB on various computers and boot it
[09:15] <its-me-again> DND: what do you mean exactly
[09:15] <its-me-again> there is a usb instller built into the ubuntu cd
[09:15] <its-me-again> you boot the live cd adn run that to install it to usb
[09:16] <Gnea> sam-_-: it worked :
[09:16] <Gnea> :D
[09:16] <its-me-again> DND: hopefully you et that
[09:16] <its-me-again> * get
[09:16] <sam-_-> Gnea, what again? i forgot ;-)
[09:16] <Gnea> sam-_-: lol, I was able to connect to wifi
[09:16] <diddy> sam-_-, thx
[09:16] <DND> its-me-again but can i plug that usb on another computer and it will boot normally?
[09:16] <sam-_-> Gnea, ah ok.
[09:17] <DND> its a usb stick not external hard drive
[09:17] <Gnea> the only issue now is that it's not catching an ipv6 address
[09:17] <ashish> hi
[09:17] <its-me-again> DND: you need to set the bios to boot from usb if thecomputer can do it.   older computers cant boot from usb
[09:17] <sam-_-> Gnea, in my defense. i'm really tired :-(
[09:17] <its-me-again> but most newer ones can
[09:17] <Gnea> sam-_-: it's all good, I can live with ipv4-only for the time being
[09:17] <Gnea> sam-_-: I'm tired as well, but I needed to get on to check email, etc
[09:18] <sam-_-> Gnea, does your provider give you some ipv6 addresses?
[09:18] <ashish> my right click not work
[09:18] <ashish> any one plz help
[09:18] <sam-_-> ashish, start: xev
[09:18] <Gnea> sam-_-: it did in windows, and I've been used to having ipv6 auto-assigned for the past year or so
[09:19] <sam-_-> ashish, you can test there if the button works
[09:19] <Gnea> sam-_-: ipv6 has been mostly rolled out around here
[09:19] <dzderic> Guys, I really need some help
[09:19] <its-me-again> dzderic: ask you question to get help.
[09:19] <dzderic> I accidently dd'd the first 500MB of my drive instead of my USB

[09:19] <sam-_-> Gnea, where are you? which provider?
[09:19] <Gnea> dzderic: testdisk

[09:25] <ashish> yes
[09:25] <sam-_-> ashish, yes, what?
[09:25] <ashish> in which boton
[09:26] <Gnea> ashish: here we speak english, try to keep up, or specify another language that you are better at speaking and we can get you to a place that understands you better
[09:26] <vs-hs> omg he has a laptop!
[09:26] <vs-hs> witout right click
[09:26] <vs-hs> ;)
[09:26] <sam-_-> Gnea, that would be hindi i guess :-)
[09:26] <Daekdroom> Don't troll
[09:26] <Gnea> Daekdroom: who are you directing that toward?
[09:26] <ashish> yes
[09:26] <Daekdroom> vs-hs
[09:26] <Gnea> vs-hs: macs have those
[09:27] <Gnea> !in | ashish
[09:27] <chalcedony> Irulan, FOUND and fixed! Thank you!
[09:28] <ashish> inubuntu 10.10
[09:28] <Irulan> you're welcome
[09:29] <sam-_-> Gnea, lol @ the channel topic of ubuntu-in: it says: please chat in english so that everyone can understand
[09:29] <JackyAlcine> Lmfaoo
[09:30] <chalcedony> sam-_-, lol
[09:31] <vs-hs> Daekdroom: Ok :)
[09:31] <Gnea> sam-_-: oh wow
[09:32] <sam-_-> Gnea, i guess it's because hindi has so many dialects they can't understand each other anyway. not sure though
[09:32] <Valen> all that cos his mouse is broken anyway
[09:33] <VectorX> using cli apt-get, how can i specify a server to get the downloads from ?
[09:33] <sam-_-> Valen, i'm not so sure. could also be a driver issue.
[09:33] <Gnea> perhaps he spilled coffee on it
[09:34] <sam-_-> Valen, especially with touchpads
[09:34] <sam-_-> VectorX, i guess you have to edit sources list manually
[09:34] <Valen> was it a laptop even?
[09:34] <root_> how can i edit sequence of OS s in grub boot loader?
[09:35] <sam-_-> Valen, he claimed so.
[09:35] <Valen> ahh
[09:35] <Valen> still probably mechanical if left mouse and pad were working
[09:35] <tajys> Hello, all... I'm having some trouble
[09:36] <sam-_-> Valen, would be my first guess too.
[09:36] <tajys> I think I broke Java T_T
[09:36] <sam-_-> tajys, why?
[09:36] <Gnea> root_: use a text editor
[09:36] <VectorX> sam-_- basically i want to tell it to use the server for a specific country so that the installs will be faster, could have done it with gnome but its not installed
[09:36] <Valen> crap man half the internet works on java you better fix it before somebody notices
[09:37] <Valen> VectorX,sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:37] <Valen> sudo apt-get update
[09:37] <sam-_-> VectorX, what Valen is suggesting.
[09:37] <harish> hello
[09:37] <tajys> Some friends got me hooked on Minecraft, but my sound stopped working... I tried to fix it... but now minecraft.net/game causes firefox to give me the silent treatment (it stops responding)
[09:38] <Carl0s-> That sucks dude.
[09:38] <tajys> Sound was only not working in Minecraft. It works everywhere else, though I don't use anything else with Java... So I'm not entirely sure if it's a Java issue or a minecraft issue =/
[09:39] <root_> how can i edit sequence of OS s in grub boot loader?
[09:39] <sam-_-> !grub | root_
[09:40] <harish> any one can help me for use of external pci ethernet interface
[09:40] <tajys> So now I am sad, and I'm not sure what to do =/
[09:40] <Carl0s-> You've probably misadjusted the triangular vortex wavelength. Hth.
[09:40] <Valen> grub2 is hard
[09:41] <Gnea> !pm | root_
[09:41] <refund> How do I enable scrolling with the mouse wheel in byobu
[09:41] <Carl0s-> This is cool.I've got irc on my phone! Dip how long til unity gets a menu, our do I need to ask that in plus one?
[09:41] <Gnea> root_: I told you: with a text editor.
[09:42] <root_> how ?
[09:42] <Gnea> uh
[09:42] <Gnea> how long have you used Ubuntu?
[09:43] <root_> now about 4mounths only
[09:43] <tgywa> how do I remove compiled and installed programs ?
[09:43] <tgywa> php 5.2 in this case
[09:43] <feanor> tgywa, make uninstall
[09:43] <Gnea> root_: are you familiar with gedit, nano or vim?
[09:43] <Gnea> root_: stop PMing me
[09:44] <root_> ya suerly.
[09:44] <totem> Valen, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[09:44] <tgywa> feanor, thank u ... trying that out now
[09:44] <Gnea> root_: if you PM me one more time, I reserve the right to stop helping you.
[09:44] <feanor> !rootirc
[09:45] <Carl0s-> Root_: Sudo nano..
  i know gedit, nano or vim how can  edit grub
[09:45] <Gnea> root_: gedit, nano and vim are text editors. use one of them to edit the file.
[09:45] <Gnea> !grub2 | root_
[09:45] <root_> with file
[09:45] <tajys> Am I just SoL, then? =/
[09:45] <Gnea> root_: second URL that ubottu just said
[09:45] <Gnea> root_: read it.
[09:46] <sam-_-> tajys, no. you just have to clear your configs. not sure about the java sound issue though
[09:46] <root_> okey lot of thanks
[09:46] <tajys> How do I go about doing that? I don't want to break anything more T_T
[09:46] <Carl0s-> I'll never get to work like this..
[09:47] <Carl0s-> That reminds nrw of a question I had
[09:47] <Carl0s-> Me..
[09:47] <bubuzzz> is there anyway to improve the sshfs peformance ?
[09:48] <bubuzzz>  i am using vim to edit the remote files and it is very slow every time i save the file
[09:48] <popey> bubuzzz: are you using compression "-C" with the ssh connection?
[09:48] <jpds> bubuzzz: Log into the server, and run vim remotely?
[09:48] <bubuzzz> jpds, yes
[09:48] <bubuzzz> popey, no. will have a look at that
[09:48] <Carl0s-> I have installed pureftpd. How do u set it to auto start.. I understand sysvinit but not upstart.
[09:49] <twoface> Hi. I just installed 10.10 on a laptop, and connected it via VPN to my work. I am having trouble reaching our systems as 'systemname.local'. I can resolve it perfectly, but can ping og access via a browser. It has always worked, but just not on this specific laptop. Any suggestions as to why dns lookup works fine, but connecting doesn't? 'traceroute' returns 'Name or service not known' and 'tracepath'
[09:49] <twoface> says 'gethostbyname2: Unknown host'
[09:49] <Carl0s-> Twoface dida vb le avahi-daemon
[09:49] <twoface> Carl0s-, what?
[09:50] <Carl0s-> Disable avahi-daemon, it breaks .local lookups.
[09:50] <twoface> aah, thanks
[09:50] <Carl0s-> Or apt-get remove avahi-daemon. You'll lose zeroconf stuff tho.
[09:50] <twoface> perfect :)
[09:50] <twoface> never uses it anyway
[09:50] <Carl0s-> Cool :)
[09:51] <twoface> you just saved me a lot of pain :) i do remember having read about it a long time ago, though, but had obviously forgotten again
[09:51] <Carl0s-> Me too but I encountered it again just yesterday si it
[09:52] <Carl0s-> So it was fresh in my mind!
[09:52] <sam-_-> Carl0s-, edit /etc/vsftpd.conf
[09:52] <sam-_-> Carl0s-, the listen parameter
[09:52] <math2> Bonjour
[09:52] <tgywa> can't use "make uninstall" ... didn't work
[09:52] <sam-_-> Carl0s-, should be set anyway
[09:52] <math2> Does everyone use to speak english ?
[09:52] <Carl0s-> Sam-_- cool thanks I'll check it!
[09:52] <flazzid> might anyone be able to tell me when i go to the software center and try to download anything it says "requires installation of untrusted packages
[09:53] <tgywa> feanor, , can't use "make uninstall" ... didn't work
[09:53] <sam-_-> tgywa, try make help. if there is nothing there you have to delete the files manually
[09:53] <bubuzzz> -C option increases the performance a little bit
[09:53] <bubuzzz> cost me around 3, 4 seconds everytime saving file
[09:54] <math2> ok… May someone help me ?? I would like to install an Ubuntu an unofficial perl module… And I don't have clew how to do it. I found CPAN for official library… but in my case ...
[09:54] <sam-_-> flazzid, like which packages?
[09:54] <sam-_-> flazzid, maybe you accidentally uninstalled ubuntu-keyring
[09:54] <flazzid> sam-_- : the last one was stellarium
[09:55] <flazzid> how to i reinstall it
[09:55] <pitiplatch> hey, can someone tell me how to repplace files with a script?
[09:55] <sam-_-> flazzid, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring
[09:56] <VectorX> where can i get a list of repo servers for each country ?, the list i got from http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/generate.php doesnt seem to be working
[09:56] <tgywa> sam-_-, thank u
[09:56] <tgywa> it worked that way.
[09:56] <flazzid> it says i already have the newest one
[09:58] <math2> … I would like to install an Ubuntu an unofficial perl module… And I don't have clew how to do it. I found CPAN for official library… but in my case… Can someone help me ?
[09:58] <sam-_-> flazzid, did you add any ppa?
[09:58] <flazzid> sam-_- : just the one for wine
[09:59] <root_> ഹൈദരാബാദ്
[09:59] <sam-_-> flazzid, might be the cause
[09:59] <flazzid> how do i uninstall it
[09:59] <sam-_-> root_, right...
[09:59] <flazzid> yeah
[09:59] <root_> sam-- thanks
[10:00] <feanor> !th
[10:01] <sam-_-> flazzid, try installing sth. like openvpn to see if it really is because of the ppa.
[10:04] <Gatonegro> Hello all. I'm having an odd issue -- we have several Ubuntu machines in a network, but sometimes we can't see each other shared folders.
[10:04] <Gatonegro> It happens quite frequently.
[10:05] <sam-_-> Gatonegro, unfortunately not odd at all
[10:06] <Gatonegro> sam -- That's bad news. :(
[10:06] <Gatonegro> sam Is there any way to fix it?
[10:07] <sam-_-> Gatonegro, it helps to directly address them via their ip address
[10:07] <Rapidspeeds> Want a fast unmetered 1Gb seedbox or srteaming server ? www.rapidspeeds.com
[10:08] <Gatonegro> sam I'm not sure how to do that? Where should I put their IP?
[10:08] <feanor> wow that was quick
[10:09] <feanor> what's a seedbox?
[10:09] <sam-_-> Gatonegro, in natilus press ctl + L then enter sth like smb://<ip address>
[10:09] <Gatonegro> sam Aahh... Alright. I'll see if that works.
[10:09] <Gatonegro> sam Is there a way to make that automatic?
[10:10] <Gatonegro> I mean -- we have static IPs, and the machines are usually always on.
[10:10] <feanor> Gatonegro, play with browser settings
[10:10] <sam-_-> Gatonegro, bookmarks?
[10:10] <Gatonegro> sam-_-, Hum. I'll try that.
[10:13] <_du> hi all, i've a problem with remmina rdp connection - backslash doesn't work, i.e. when i press backslesh btn it doesn't produce corresponding symbol on remote box. Any suggestions?
[10:15] <nVee> hey guys
[10:15] <nVee> very stupid question, in terminal, how can I pause output?
[10:15] <kaushal> hi
[10:15] <nVee> e.g.
[10:15] <kaushal> when i do pastebinit -i ipsec.log, i get http://pastebin.com/, i dont get pasteid
[10:16] <nVee> ifconfig, it runs but I cant see the top of the output
[10:17] <squig> I want to reinstall a package, so that its database config gets installed
[10:17] <squig> what command would i use to do that?
[10:17] <sam-_-> nVee, pipe it through less
[10:17] <sam-_-> nVee, ifconfig  | less
[10:18] <sam-_-> squig, database config?
[10:19] <kaushal> hi
[10:19] <kaushal> when i do pastebinit -i ipsec.log, i get http://pastebin.com/, i dont get pasteid
[10:19] <squig> sam yes tahts what I want to do, but whats the command for that?
[10:20] <Taste> hello
[10:20] <shai__> Hello :) I've got a very new installation of Ubuntu 10.04.01 amd64 Server Edition (headless) and I've installed on it Firefox with all the needed X libs so that I can do some X forwarding when needed. When I run ssh -X myserver ; the X forwarding is very very very slow which is impossible to work with. The WAN over SSH connection to the server itself is perfect. What could be causing X...
[10:20] <shai__> ...forwarding to be so slow?
[10:21] <Qci> hello, i have a testing pc that runs ubuntu server. i want to create virtual machine on it that will have the same server settings (php, java....) can i do that? basicly what i wan in the end is to have 2 enviroment that are the same (except file system), one for QA and one for DEV. where can i read more about it?
[10:21] <ozzynotwood> Hello room, can anybody chat to me about the program "Motion"? I'm having some trouble with it
[10:21] <sam-_-> squig, i don't know what you mean by database config?
[10:21] <sam-_-> squig, which software?
[10:21] <deww> shai__: i've always thought x forwarding is crazy slow
[10:21] <Taste> im having an issue updating m drivers with ubuntu anyone about may be able to assist me?
[10:21] <squig> sam-_-, the package installs a database at install time, i am trying to reinstall the database
[10:21] <squig> sam-_-, bacula
[10:22] <shai__> deww: It is plain now working.... I start up firefox and it takes approx. 3-5min to open up and then every click a couple more min to do something (if at all)
[10:22] <sam-_-> squig, maybe dpkg-reconfigure will help
[10:23] <sam-_-> shai__, use vnc or rdp or sth. like that.
[10:23] <squig> sam-_-, yes had to force it
[10:23] <tajys> sam-_-, can you tell me how to clear the configs, or where I can find out? I tried to figure it out on my own, but I don't want to mess up anything else =/
[10:23] <sam-_-> tajys, configs for what again?
[10:24] <sam-_-> !anyone | Taste
[10:24] <sam-_-> !ask | Taste
[10:24] <shai__> sam-_-: Do I need to have an X server for that or can I lunch just firefox in VNC without having to install a desktop completely?
[10:24] <sam-_-> shai__, you will need an xserver.
[10:25] <Taste> well im downloading my nvidia drivers from their site, and im downloading their linux 32bit version (sinc eim on a ubuntu 32 bit) but hwen i downlaod them i can run the file etc etc
[10:25] <Taste> cant*
[10:25] <tajys> sam-_-, I dunno... You said something about clearing configs... because something I did to Java is causing firefox to not respond whenever I try to run something with Java
[10:25] <sam-_-> !nvidia | Taste
[10:25] <barca_> hello
[10:26] <deww> shai__: try -C (compression), i don't think it's gonna be much better tho
[10:26] <sam-_-> tajys, by that i meant the java cache and the firefox cache and maybe more
[10:27] <its-me-again> hiexpo: hello are you around still
[10:28] <shai__> deww: I actually ran 'ssh -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc -XC user@myserver' ; and it works much better (not that fast, but better no the less)
[10:28] <tajys> sam-_-, if that's something I'm supposed to do through the Java control panel, it's not coming up =/
[10:29] <root_> where  is font folder?
[10:29] <sam-_-> tajys, i don't know where exactly they are. possibilities: .config/  .sun/  .java/   .firefox/<subdir>
[10:30] <sam-_-> root_, /usr/share/fonts/
[10:30]  * tajys thinks she might have broken java good, since the control panel won't even run =/
[10:31] <root_> thanks sam
[10:31] <sam-_-> tajys, run it in a console. it will probably tell you sth.
[10:31] <its-me-again> tajys: adn how woudl you have broken java then
[10:32] <tajys> its-me-again: What?
[10:32] <its-me-again> tajys: you said you broak java right.   how did that brake
[10:33] <its-me-again> tajys: how did java break
[10:33] <tajys> its-me-again: I think something I did when I was trying to fix the sound did something that negatively impacted the rest of java...
[10:34] <Gatonegro> sam-_-, Entering the IP worked just fine -- and I can add them to bookmarks and they stay where they should be. :o) Thanks a lot.
[10:34] <Gatonegro> However, this is something that needs fixing badly, no?
[10:34] <its-me-again> tajys: java has nothing to do with sound
[10:34] <Gatonegro> Is there a reported bug for this?
[10:34] <refund> How do I enable scrolling with the mouse wheel in byobu
[10:34] <sam-_-> Gatonegro, is winbind running on all of your machines?
[10:34] <its-me-again> refund: what is byobu
[10:34] <tajys> its-me-again: I figure when the sound is only not working on something that uses Java, it does have something to do with it.
[10:35] <refund> its-me-again, Interface changes to screen or something
[10:35] <its-me-again> tajys: i dont think so but you maybe right
[10:36] <its-me-again> refund: i dotn know what byobu is
[10:36] <its-me-again> but have you made sure the corect mouse type is setup
[10:36] <tajys> its-me-again: Of course, I could be completely mistaken and sound only not working in Java (but working fine everywhere else) could be a problem with flash or something
[10:36] <its-me-again> tajys: in the menu type mouse
[10:37] <tajys> What?
[10:37] <its-me-again> tjok look for the mous settins under settings
[10:37] <osmosis_paul> to commit a change of a folder to svn is just svn add "folder/file" and then svn commit?
[10:38] <its-me-again> shoudl be in menu>prefferances
[10:38] <tajys> Because mouse does have to do with the sound not working in Java?
[10:38] <its-me-again> ^ tajys
[10:38] <LunaVorax> Hello everyone !
[10:38] <tajys> How does mouse = sound?
[10:39] <its-me-again> tajys: oops recund has mouse problem
[10:39] <its-me-again> refund
[10:39] <LunaVorax> I'm on a computer with two graphical cards but the most power hungry (9600M) is the only one detected and therefore activated. Is there a way to force the detection of the second graphical card (9400M) and activate it instead of the other one ?
[10:39] <its-me-again> refund: in menu>preferances you will find mouse settings
[10:40] <its-me-again> LunaVorax: what are the 2 cards
[10:40] <its-me-again> is oen on the motherboard adn the other oen in the screenccard slot
[10:41] <LunaVorax> its-me-again, I'm on a mbp 15" theses are two chips on the motherboard

[10:43] <SlyUk> Hey, ive installed a new wireless card which is detected fine. When i tell wicd to use wlan1 instead of wlan0 it tells me it cant find anything. ifconfig shows wlan1 is there too.
[10:43] <pitiplatch> how do i tell the script not to run the next command untill the last one is done?
[10:43] <sam-_-> Gatonegro, installing it should help
[10:43] <dr4g> its-me-again, ok aha i just found the "Places" -> "Network" icon

[10:48] <dr4g> feanor, get a life
[10:48] <zhibo> hello
[10:53] <PPK_> rizon.net

[10:55] <ox3a> feanor, ?
[10:55] <zlatan> hi there everyone
[10:56] <tajys> Did I mention that java -version doesn't work in the terminal?
[10:56] <zlatan> my transmission came almost to the end of downloading but didn't finish...and there are 60 connected peers but I am not downloading from any..Why is that?
[10:56] <tajys> I am trying to find the site with the instructions I followed to try to get sound working, and I can't find it >.<
[10:57] <erUSUL> zlatan: maybe the file has less than 1 disponibility ( no peer has the complete file ) and all of you are stuck with incomplete downloads ...
[10:58] <zlatan> erUSUL:can I check somehow that
[10:59] <erUSUL> zlatan: i do not use transmission myself; dunno where it displays that info
[10:59] <sugoruyo> zlatan: I suggest you wait, you can check that if you go to your torrent's peers tab, also try to locate and manually additional trackers, but if it completes let it seed for a while
[10:59] <ubufind> how do i find an iso in ubunto if i dont know where to look?
[11:00] <ubufind> the "find" command is very confuseing for me
[11:00] <linuxtech> try locate iso
[11:00] <popey> ubufind: click the find icon in nautilus?
[11:00] <popey> ubufind: why use the command line at all?
[11:00] <ubufind> what?
[11:01] <ubufind> there is no find command
[11:01] <ubufind> or icon
[11:01] <popey> there is a magnifying glass icon (search) in nautilus
[11:01] <ubufind> ???
[11:01] <popey> nautilus being the file manager
[11:01] <zlatan> sugoruyo:my torrent tab doesen't have any option-actually it has but I can't use it
[11:01] <ubufind> not installed
[11:01] <popey> ubufind: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[11:02] <ubufind> xubuntu
[11:02] <_Rno_> Hello, I'm using the guest mode of ubuntu, and so the guest apparmor profile and I'm facing an issue with google chrome. I would like to add a sub profile to the guest one which authorize everything only for google-chrome but I don't find anything about such a thing in the apparmor.d man page.
[11:02] <sugoruyo> zlatan: why?
[11:02] <nicolina> i have a big problem
[11:02] <popey> ubufind: sorry, i dont know xubuntu, try in #xubuntu
[11:02] <nicolina> i am not able to boot opensuse from PXE ( i used  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro )
[11:02] <nicolina> the PXE shows up, but pressing enter on opensuse label doesn't make anything
[11:03] <sugoruyo> nicolina: can you boot anything else with PXE?
[11:03] <nicolina> i have only suse
[11:03] <nicolina> no error message appear
[11:03] <nicolina> nothing
[11:04] <zlatan> sugoruyo:I do not know that :D
[11:04] <ribot> how can i display unicode chars in irssi?
[11:04] <zlatan> I see options but are like disabled
[11:05] <ubufind> ty
[11:05] <_Rno_> any idea?
[11:06] <skilz> How can I share my internet connection over eth0? the internet is ppp0
[11:07] <nVee> in samba, is there a way to hide share folders from users who cannot access it?
[11:07] <feanor> how ro see installed package version??
[11:08] <testing_09> hi
[11:08] <freddy__> hi
[11:08] <testing_09> how can I make ipip tunel un ubuntu desktop?
[11:08] <danne_> hi, i have some problem with my cpu fan. Its running at full speed al the time and its kinda noisy. how can i slow it down?
[11:09] <uni4dfx> how do i set banshee to watch multiple folders?
[11:09] <erUSUL> !ics | skilz
[11:09] <sugoruyo> feanor: I'm on Windows right now, but I think apt-cache should do, try man apt-cache
[11:09] <sugoruyo> feanor: there should be an option to do what you want
[11:10] <uni4dfx> can't believe this crap will become the new default ubuntu player
[11:11] <danne_> how do i install drivers for my mb? i have them on the cd but i dont understand how to install them
[11:11] <rumpe1> danne_, linux-driver? why do you need them?
[11:11] <feanor> uni4dfx, banshee is fabulous, and developer isn't arrogant scum unlike rhythmbox
[11:12] <danne_> to quiet down my cpu fan
[11:12] <erUSUL> danne_: you probably do not need them. ubuntu includes most of hardware drivers it needs
[11:12] <feanor> uni4dfx, make a new folder and symlink everything there
[11:13] <uni4dfx> feanor shit...
[11:13] <erUSUL> !language
[11:13] <uni4dfx> feanor are you a masochist?
[11:13] <uni4dfx> feanor do you enjoy when your player takes longer to load and works slower?
[11:13] <danne_> no mabie i dont but i installed drivers for my graficcard to get the fan to slow down so i thougt it was the same to my MB
[11:14] <erUSUL> uni4dfx: none is forcing you to use it.
[11:14] <feanor> uni4dfx, I like it's library management more
[11:14] <uni4dfx> they're forcing me to waste time to replace idiotic software
[11:15] <uni4dfx> what library management, it can't even watch more than one folder
[11:15] <uni4dfx> it's pathetic
[11:15] <erUSUL> uni4dfx: none is forcing you to use ubuntu either.
[11:17] <uni4dfx> erUSUL please come up with an actual argument next time
[11:18] <feanor> use Arch, it doen't impose _any_ software choice on you. Most people are fine with defaults
[11:18] <uni4dfx> feanor i'm a big fan of ubuntu, but if bullsh*t like this continues i'll probably switch to it
[11:18] <erUSUL> uni4dfx: please next time explain who in  "they're forcing me" are and by what means they are forcing you to do anything.
[11:19] <sugoruyo> uni4dfx: choosing a distro == choosing the one whose default system and other choices you like the best, ergo noone is *actually* forcing you to do anything, and installing rhythmbox is as simple as sudo apt-get install rythmbox
[11:20] <uni4dfx> meh why am i arguing with people who have no clue about the desktop experience...
[11:21] <sugoruyo> uni4dfx: if you'd rather not have to do even that, try some distro that ships is as default, if that distro however makes other choices you don't like, please go troll their IRC, ok?
[11:21] <icesword> !info rythmbox
[11:21] <strange> what are we crying about today?
[11:21] <sam-_-> !info rhythmbox
[11:22] <strange> cant we have the kde/gnome discussion again
[11:22] <strange> thats always good
[11:22] <icesword> ...
[11:23] <sugoruyo> uni4dfx: it's linux, you can always make your own distro if you're so inclined... if not, noone will do it for you so you either compromise or politely attempt to influence the decision - if people still make the choice you don't like, don't bitch about it!
[11:25] <bazhang> uni4dfx, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:29] <glaceman> does anybody know please a shortcut key to switch the keyboard layout ?

[11:49] <aurilliance> greppy, sorry, my mistake
[11:49] <bazhang> madstein, you spelled it wrong
[11:50] <madstein> oi
[11:50] <madstein> u type it then
[11:50] <DND> bazhang, so with this i can install it to USB as if its a hard disk. plus i can plug it into another computer?
[11:50] <madstein> :p

[11:50] <madstein> u right
[11:50] <bazhang> DND, install from it yep
[11:50] <bazhang> madstein, /msg ubottu please
[11:51] <madstein> just playing dumb
[11:51] <madstein> i'll stop
[11:51] <c4pt> can anyone recommend a good firefox password management system with aes (and a firefox button) similar to 1Password for ubuntu?
[11:51] <bazhang> DND, you can make it a live usb, persistent usb (save changes) or installer usb
[11:51] <bazhang> dnd try /msg ubottu usb    for some of the options
[11:53] <bazhang> c4pt, check out the firefox plugins page
[11:54] <c4pt> bazhang, well
[11:54] <c4pt> bazhang, i see something like lastpass
[11:54] <c4pt> bazhang, but i dont like the fact that lastpass transmits the passwords to lastpass servers.
[11:54] <bazhang> c4pt, try it, there are some others (can't remember the names atm)
[11:55] <c4pt> bazhang, i am looking for a password manager similar to 1password which stores the database on the harddrive in an aes container and has firefox plugins
[11:55] <bazhang> c4pt, never heard of something like that, doubt it exists
[11:57] <c4pt> bazhang, yeah its called 1Password
[11:57] <yimfos> truruf
[11:57] <c4pt> bazhang, for mac os x and windows
[11:57] <c4pt> bazhang, they dont make a linux version L:(
[11:57] <hedin_> hi, I need a 32 bit app on my 10.10 64 bit inst. (canon print drivers), how do i make this happen?
[12:03] <MadVector> c4pt, try keepassx. maybe u like it
[12:03] <c4pt> MadVector, i have its pretty decent but no firefox addon for autofill
[12:03] <tajys> Whew... sam-_-, thanks for trying to help me. Looks like I was over thinking it a bit
[12:03] <johnlocke> this is a freaking joke. How do I set fstab to mount my drives as a user?
[12:04] <c4pt> MadVector, bazhang its ok i think ill just use lastpass and be paranoid about it transmitting the encrypted data i shouldnt have to worry though "its encrypted right" lulz
[12:04] <greppy> johnlocke: take a look at the man page for fstab, you need to set the user option.
[12:04] <johnlocke> greppy: I have set the user option. It does not work
[12:04] <johnlocke> it mounts as root. I try to chown it to my user, and I still get a permission denied when I try to touch anything
[12:04] <feanor> \ot{do not trust AES}
[12:05] <greppy> johnlocke: for instance, my cdrom entry on one box: /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
[12:05] <greppy> johnlocke: is it mounted automatically at boot, in that case, yes, it will be owned by root.
[12:05] <c4pt> feanor, ?
[12:05] <sam-_-> johnlocke, then you need to umask
[12:06] <johnlocke>  /dev/sda1       /media/series/  ext4    user,noauto,exec                0       0
[12:06] <Utente> hi all! how can i see any unmounted HDisks with command line (not formatted disks...), pls?
[12:06] <johnlocke> mount /media/series
[12:06] <johnlocke> it mounts as root
[12:06] <johnlocke> even though I run the mount command as user, and it returns fine
[12:07] <johnlocke> it is still owned by freaking root. That doesn't make any sense
[12:07] <sam-_-> johnlocke, add umask=000
[12:08] <sam-_-> johnlocke, but then the permissions on all files are rwxrwxrwx
[12:08] <johnlocke> unrecognized mount option umask=000
[12:09] <johnlocke> I dont care what permission it has. As long as I can reach it as a user. badabing badaboom why is this an issue?
[12:09] <sam-_-> johnlocke, seems to not exist for ext4
[12:10] <johnlocke> sam-_-: ofcourse it doesn't. Why on earth did I choose ext4 then!?
[12:10] <sam-_-> johnlocke, for ext4 you should really just set the permissions the normal way
[12:11] <sam-_-> johnlocke, via chown and chmod
[12:11] <johnlocke> I did that. and when I run ls -lah it returns johnlocke root
[12:11] <johnlocke> but I still can't create files!
[12:12] <freddy__> i have a problem with my ubutnuserver, it has mounted the filesystem ro but I didnt do anything to make that happen - can I find out why when etc and how to remedy ?
[12:12] <sam-_-> johnlocke, well maybe you don't have write permissions?
[12:12] <sam-_-> johnlocke, it isn't enough to just own the file/dir#
[12:13] <johnlocke> ok. So in fstab. How do I get write permission to fucking everyone? I don't care if the NSA can create files on my hdd. As long as it just works
[12:13] <johnlocke> I want to run mount -a as my normal user and have full controll of the hdd
[12:13] <sam-_-> johnlocke, does it just hold data?
[12:13] <johnlocke> yes
[12:14] <johnlocke> no os or swap etc
[12:15] <sam-_-> johnlocke, then mount the device and do this: chmod 666 -R <path to mounted fs>
[12:16] <sam-_-> johnlocke, may need sudo. just be sure it's the right path to the fs otherwise it will mess up everything
[12:17] <johnlocke> ok, now I can't even cd in to that dir
[12:17] <feanor> omg filesystem permissions DO NOT affect mount points
[12:17] <sam-_-> feanor, doesn't matter.
[12:18] <usuario> ehhh
[12:18] <usuario> gilipollas
[12:18] <sam-_-> johnlocke, also to claim the ownership chmod johnlocke -R <path to fs>
[12:19] <sam-_-> !es | usuario
[12:19] <usuario> olaaaa
[12:19] <greppy> sam-_-: chown johnlocke -R /path/to/fs
[12:19] <usuario> putaaaa
[12:19] <usuario> abaerto
[12:19] <sam-_-> !ops | usuario
[12:20] <DJones> !es > usuario
[12:20] <johnlocke> ok chmod 777 and chown johnlocke did it. Jesus that was annoying. thank you for the help. Ill probably set it up properly when I have time
[12:20] <greppy> johnlocke: the chown should have been all that was needed
[12:21] <sam-_-> greppy, how do you know?
[12:21] <sam-_-> greppy, it could be that he didn't have write permission even then
[12:22] <greppy> sam-_-: because if he owns it all, he would have been able to make changes, unless it he didn't have write perms, but setting it to 777 makes it so that any user on the system can create, delete or change files on the volume, including from the webserver if there is a broken or compromised script.
[12:23] <sam-_-> greppy, you realize you just contradicted yourself?
[12:23] <greppy> no
[12:23] <kasparof> hello!
[12:24] <c4pt> im having trouble with smb-samba :(
[12:24] <c4pt> this is a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10
[12:24] <c4pt> after the install
[12:24] <c4pt> i right clicked on my public folder and selected share this folder
[12:24] <greppy> sam-_-: even if he didn't have write permissions, he would be able to change them without using sudo.  try it, touch somefile, chmod 000 somefile try to mess with it, then chmod 600 somefile.
[12:24] <c4pt> so it installed the samba services.
[12:24] <bullgard4> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo: "If all devices listed say "no wireless extensions." then your wireless card is not configured. " <--  What is a "wireless extension"?
[12:25] <c4pt> after it installed the samba services when i try to connect to a windows 7 host on the lan from ubuntu it says failed to retrieve list
[12:25] <hedin_> how do i install 32bit apps on 64 bit 10.10?
[12:25] <sam-_-> greppy, yes. but he would still need chmod which you said he didn't
[12:25] <c4pt> ubuntu -> windows 7 on ubuntu (via samba and both firewalls are permitting 136-139 and 445
[12:25] <sam-_-> greppy, look. it doesn't matter. we both meant the same just worded it differently...
[12:25] <greppy> sam-_-: he shouldn't unless the perms were set intentionally restrictive.
[12:26] <sam-_-> greppy, y. but you couldn't know
[12:26] <aurilliance> Does anyone know how to remap the Ctrl+n command in nautilus to create a new file, instead of open a new window?
[12:27] <Liooba> hi  all, i'm currently installing a brand new system. i first install ubuntu as my main system, and now i'm partitionning. i plan to install Windows XP or 7 on my PC later. how should i do the partitionning ? (i've 1TB hd space and 2GB RAM) ?
[12:27] <feanor> c4pt, setup user name and workgroup
[12:27] <c4pt> feanor, can you link me?
[12:28] <aurilliance> Liooba, what are you going to use each OS for?
[12:28] <feanor> c4pt, it's in samba.conf
[12:28] <c4pt> ok
[12:29] <Utente> sorry folks, again, how can i see any unmounted HDisks with command line (not formatted disks), pls?
[12:30] <Liooba> linux for programming (i'm astudent) and internet surf, and maybe other stuff, and windows mainly for gaming and use of only windows software (such as some specific calculation programs of my school). I also want to be abe to listen to my music and watch videos on both, but these will be on an external usb hd.
[12:31] <poggle> has anyone else experienced rather slow ubuntu installs lately?
[12:31] <poggle> this new 10.10 has been somewhat retarded
[12:32] <sacarlson> Liooba: it's a bit easier to install windows first so that grub will become the first boot loader
[12:32] <poggle> compared to older versions 1010 is a lot slower
[12:32] <poggle> same as next to different distros
[12:32] <c4pt> feanor, ?
[12:32] <c4pt> feanor, where in smb.conf ?
[12:32] <c4pt> feanor, the workgroup is already correct.
[12:32] <c4pt> feanor, for valid users its = %S
[12:33] <Liooba> sacarlson: mmm ok , but now i'm stuck with a ubuntu install CD, i've got a ISO win XP install CD, but no cd writer now, until i install my system :/
[12:33] <feanor> c4pt, you need setup a user name of some user on windows 7 machine you're connecting to
[12:33] <c4pt> feanor, can you give me an example ?
[12:33] <c4pt> feanor, so i can translate the example into my smb.conf please?
[12:34] <c4pt> feanor, there are alot of options in the smb.conf
[12:34] <Liooba> isn't it possible to configure the grub on dual boot later ? i'm not afraid of command lines and stuff like that, i'm glad to learn new things on computers ;)
[12:35] <feanor> c4pt, i have no samba installedm but look for group of "user", "pass" and "workgroup" options
[12:36] <Moreliini> Liooba: grub-install and grub-mkconfig are the bins you'll need, but sacarlson is right about the order, you could burn your XP cd in Ubuntu Live with Brasero
[12:37] <Liooba> ok, i'll stop install and reboot with Live, thx for your advises moreliini and sacarlson
[12:37] <sacarlson> Liooba: ok,  it just adds a bit more work,  so other things sounds like you want then are the restricted package to allow video and music playback and build-essensials http://packages.debian.org/sid/build-essential  for software C and c++ programing
[12:39] <Liooba> sacarlson: ok, thanks. btw, do recommend using ext4 for the linux partition(s), instead of ext3 ?
[12:39] <ryanf109> Hi all. What is the advantages of using sudo rather than su root then running a command?
[12:39] <Deddly> Am I in the right place to get help with installing ubuntu with Universal USB Installer?
[12:39] <jrib> ryanf109: root is locked by default on ubuntu for one
[12:39] <jrib> !sudo > ryanf109
[12:40] <ryanf109> jrib, thanks.
[12:40] <Moreliini> !sudo > Moreliini
[12:41] <Deddly> When trying to put Ubuntu onto a USB drive I get the following error: "an error () occurred while executing syslinux. Your USB drive won't be bootable"
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> Deddly:  what tool are you using to put it on USB?
[12:42] <Deddly> Dr_Willis: Universal USB Installer, according to the instructions on the main Ubuntu web site
[12:43] <sacarlson> Liooba: yes I see no problems with ext4 and third party windows software can now read it from windows.
[12:43] <Deddly> Dr_Willis: Oddly, there is no number between the brackets
[12:43] <Liooba> ok! thx for your help
[12:44] <qdii> how can I make it so metacity is run at every gnome boot instead of the default window manager ?
[12:48] <wald0> does the version x64 run in a I7 processor ?
[12:48] <wald0> in other words, i need the version x64 for my I7 processor ?
[12:49] <deww> wald0: yes that will work with i7
[12:49] <DDAZZA> (connection died) I'm getting this error from a java application.  http://pastebin.com/VCMfH5AL Can someone tell me what’s wrong and how to fix it?
[12:49] <sugoruyo> wald0: x64 means 64-bit, so an i7 will be fine with it
[12:49] <greppy> wald0: if you have a 64bit cpu, like an i7, you can use the amd64 kernel
[12:49] <dnivra> hello. when I try to upgrade, it says 67 packages available but all are held back. what is wrong?
[12:49] <sugoruyo> wald0: but you don't need the x64 with an i7, unless you have more than 3 gigs of RAM
[12:50] <deww> dnivra: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:50] <romeo> hi
[12:50] <wald0> apart of the ram, it is better to use the x64 version than the 32 one ?
[12:50] <dnivra> thanks deww !
[12:50] <wald0> i heard that there's not optimization/speed difference
[12:52] <deww> wald0: some stuff like printer drivers might be easier to find
[12:54] <wald0> im downloading the "natty desktop amd64.iso", it is a LIVE system, right ? because i don't want to install it on my disk now
[12:55] <blackshirt1> wald0: i think yes
[12:55] <DJones> wald0: Should be, desktop cd's are live systems
[12:56] <doodoo> is there any fan control utility for Ubuntu?
[12:56] <pr0ph3t> hi all
[12:56] <blackshirt1> hi

[12:57] <aurilliance> hm no
[12:57] <bazhang> pr0ph3t, #ubuntu+1
[12:57] <DJones> pr0ph3t: Can't rememeber the command off teh top of my head, but if you join #ubuntu+1 they'll be able to help you
[12:58] <pr0ph3t> thanks all :)

[13:00] <v4nelle> thx :)
[13:01] <usr13> aurilliance: Are you talking about changing the login screen?
[13:01] <aurilliance> usr13, No, just selecting a color for use in websites, apps etc. Ie, a hex, rgb, hsl colour wheel.
[13:01] <aurilliance> I thought gnome-color-chooser would be it, but that's a desktop customisation app
[13:02] <usr13> aurilliance: Theems ?
[13:03] <sipior> aurilliance: gcolor2 will do what you want, but i don't believe it is installed by default.
[13:03] <aurilliance> sipior, Thanks mate, I'll have a look
[13:03] <aurilliance> sipior, perfect! That's *exactly* what I wanted!
[13:03] <aurilliance> Thank you so much
[13:04] <sipior> aurilliance: sure, no trouble.

[13:08] <basilbear> people - why is rhythmbox opening when I select places->documents and how do I set it back to use nautilus pls?
[13:09] <[bean]> there shoul be a set application defaults setting
[13:09] <[bean]> under administration or preferences
[13:09] <sam-_-> aurilliance, check your compiz settings
[13:10] <aurilliance> sam-_-, Am doing
[13:10] <YammYgirlcoding> bazhang how come? do i have to update anything?
[13:10] <poggle> it takes forever to install this pos
[13:10] <poggle> wtf did they change in 10.10 to make installs crawl like this?
[13:10] <YammYgirlcoding> when i install /home in another partition is it supposed to change anything ? I expected it to be just transparent for me.
[13:10] <bazhang> poggle, language please
[13:11] <aurilliance> sam-_-, nothing :/
[13:11] <YammYgirlcoding> before i used to cd.. or cd /home and it worked. Now it can't find anything
[13:11] <[bean]> poggle what are you tryin to install?
[13:11] <poggle> [bean], 10.10 desktop
[13:11] <sam-_-> aurilliance, sry. i'm too tired now :-)
[13:11] <geirha> YammYgirlcoding: Should be transparent, yes.
[13:12] <[bean]> can you share your hardware info?
[13:12] <sam-_-> good night
[13:12] <thiefy> v4nelle, i think this might help you?       ps ax | grep /usr/lib/firefox-*/firefox-bin > ~/download/cow.txt
[13:12] <basilbear> bean: unfortunately it does not cover opening folders
[13:12] <thiefy> v4nelle, i'm not a good scripter though.
[13:12] <YammYgirlcoding> how is that updatedb command ? I'm new to ubuntu
[13:12] <poggle> [bean], well, it's an 1215n asus netbook, i believe
[13:12] <aurilliance> Just found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/678423
[13:12] <v4nelle> thiefy, thank you very much.....but i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=915299
[13:13] <basilbear> ?
[13:13] <thiefy> v4nelle, i think what you want to do is quite easy, but i am not good at that. hahah.   good job finding an answer mate.
[13:13] <YammYgirlcoding> I recall that i should have /home mounted in some config file. is that still true ?
[13:13] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: sudo updatedb rectreates the file index
[13:13] <bazhang> YammYgirlcoding, used in conjuction with mlocate
[13:14] <YammYgirlcoding> do i have to manually have /home mounted in some config file or anything?
[13:14] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: Only if you have a sperate home partition the config file is /etc/fstab
[13:14] <YammYgirlcoding> as it's in new partition now
[13:14] <[bean]> basilbear: Right click a folder, go to Properties -> Open With, and change it back to Nautilus. There's a bug where if a folder is opened in an application, it automatically associates folders with that application on your system.
[13:14] <YammYgirlcoding> yes the /home is at another partition now
[13:15] <skorv> a girl!
[13:15] <skorv> wow
[13:15] <thiefy> a girl?
[13:15] <Pici> skorv: Please don't.
[13:15] <thiefy> wht the heck?
[13:15] <basilbear> bean: thanks, I'll take a look
[13:15] <skorv> lol
[13:15] <YammYgirlcoding> yes =) what's wrong with that :p
[13:15] <skorv> nothing
[13:15] <[bean]> poggle: have you checked the ubuntu compatibility list to see if it list your netbook or its hardware?
[13:15] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: find the correct
[13:15] <skorv> sometimes i wonder why there arent more :P
[13:15] <Pici> !girls | skorv
[13:15] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: UUId of the partitio and add a line in /etc/fstab
[13:16] <sipior> skorv: try looking in the mirror.
[13:16] <bazhang> skorv, offtopic and inappropriate please stop
[13:16] <YammYgirlcoding> i guess cause linux is ugly ^^
[13:16] <skorv> lol
[13:16] <YammYgirlcoding> hmm how i know where /home partition is ?
[13:16] <thiefy> hahah
[13:16] <YammYgirlcoding> i used linux 10 years ago, so i don't recall much
[13:16] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: UUID=287d7319-edd2-4ce3-8d4c-dea74b744bf6 /home               ext4    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[13:16] <YammYgirlcoding> how do i list the partitions in first place?
[13:17] <skorv> ppl here are top level... i'm a newbie myself so i wont be able to help that much
[13:17] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: sudo fdisk and then type p to lit the partitions
[13:17] <YammYgirlcoding> hmm hold on. i go try that at the another room
[13:17] <greppy> YammYgirlcoding: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[13:17] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: and sudo blkid to find the UUID<->partition mappings
[13:18] <basilbear> bean: success, thanks
[13:18] <[bean]> np
[13:18] <thiefy> YammYgirlcoding, type sudo fdisk -l    and sudo blkid     that'll help.

[13:22] <FxIII> hi all
[13:22] <FxIII> what is the command to get the package dependecies list ? (command line)
[13:23] <DND> hi. is it possible to have 2 usb sticks? one stick(256mb) will be the boot partition and another stick(8gb)will be swap and /
[13:23] <DND> so if im not in the house, i can just take the 256 so no one can boot it
[13:23] <DND> ?
[13:24] <FxIII> DND: is it possible in line of principle
[13:24] <nibbler_> DND, nothing wrong about that
[13:24] <sipior> DND: unless they bring their own usb stick...
[13:25] <FxIII> there can be just a problem in the devices enumeration
[13:25] <FxIII> you should use the uuid to idendify the disks because de /dev/sd*  enumeration may change
[13:26] <DND> maybe if the swap and / is on an internal HDD then there will be no problem with device numbering
[13:26] <tehbaut> when I try to run fsck on an HFS+ formatted partition, it tells me it's journaled and stops
[13:26] <sacarlson> DND: it might be easier just to lock the computer by bios password or encyption or other methods
[13:26] <[bean]> FxIII: if you run apt-get install program it should list dependencies
[13:26] <DND> so its somewhat a false sense of security?
[13:26] <oCean> FxIII: apt-cache depends packagename or use rdepends for reverse dependencies
[13:27] <sipior> DND: completely false.

[13:42] <poggle> his wireless issue was easily fixed
[13:42] <oCean> kaushal: one more suggestion, you could try pasting to ubuntu: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com
[13:42] <poggle> [bean], he powered off? ;)
[13:42] <kaushal> ok
[13:42] <bazhang> ahaney3, either check apache or find a ppa?
[13:42] <[bean]> possibly, or he could of lost connection. he lives in indonesia after all
[13:42] <ahaney3> bazhang I'm not familiar with your tla, what's a ppa?
[13:42] <BluesKaj> ahaney3, not in the repos . but http://cassandra.apache.org/
[13:43] <organise> Hi i'm using ubuntu 10.10 when i restart gnome by doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart, gdm sometimes doesn't launch it just shows text saying "Checking battery ...", can anyone tell me what is going wrong and how i can fix this issue?
[13:43] <ahaney3> blueskaj, yeah, I've installed it on a few machines, enough to know that it'd be MUCH easier to just run apt-get install cassandra :), and I didn't see a good reason why it wasn't already in the repo :)
[13:43] <poggle> organise, i guess it is too risky to restart gnome
[13:44] <poggle> organise, just google the "checking battery" thing
[13:45] <farciarz84> I would like to create homedir for user, what kind of permission should have this dir that user can go to it and cannot go up?
[13:45] <farciarz84> any help?
[13:45] <farciarz84> is it possible?
[13:45] <poggle> go up as in into /?
[13:45] <poggle> or browse anyone elses home dirs
[13:45] <organise> poggle, it does it sometimes but if i ssh into the machine and do /etc/init.d/gdm restart again then it works, I've been googling "checking battery" but can't find a fix
[13:45] <farciarz84> /home/user/blabla/ - he can go to blabla but not to /home/user/
[13:46] <[bean]> i think he wants the user to only have read/write access to the users home directory
[13:46] <poggle> hmmm
[13:46] <poggle> i dont know anything else, sorry
[13:47] <raba> hi all. Can I ask& - if I have a Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller , can I have resolution more then 1280x800 and if I can ,how?
[13:47] <farciarz84> [bean]: no he don't ecpecially read
[13:48] <farciarz84> doesn't *
[13:48] <farciarz84> so is it possible or not?
[13:48] <farciarz84> cd /home/user/blabla - ok / cd /home/user - permission denied
[13:48] <raba> yes,i'd like to have more resolution then current 1280x800
[13:49] <raba> I'm a newbie in ubuntu and not have install any of video driver, may be this is a reason?
[13:50] <linuxguy101> anyone know of a stopwatch program for linux????
[13:50] <bazhang> linuxguy101, stopwatch
[13:50] <farciarz84> I made chmod 777 /home/user/blabla but he cannot go there :(((
[13:50] <rumpe1> linuxguy101, "time read" ... press enter for stop :)
[13:51] <violetstreak> Is there any advantage of installing trac using the Bitnami installer?
[13:51] <linuxguy101> bazhang: sorry i dont see that program
[13:51] <bazhang> linuxguy101, thought you were on mandriva
[13:51] <bazhang> !info stopwatch | linuxguy101
[13:51] <linuxguy101> bazhang: i am, but there seems to be no linux stop watch programs
[13:52] <bazhang> linuxguy101, #mandriva  this is for Ubuntu support
[13:52] <farciarz84> how to set permission to concrete dir that anyone can access it but cannot go up?
[13:52] <linuxguy101> bazhang: we are all in this linux thing together
[13:52] <bazhang> linuxguy101, thats ##linux
[13:52] <farciarz84> linux guy come on
[13:52] <farciarz84> ubuntu guys come on:)
[13:53] <jrib> farciarz84: what do you mean by "go up"?
[13:53] <researcher1> is it possible to install virtual printer to study printer networking?
[13:53] <bazhang> linuxguy101, and mandriva uses rpm, so no use asking in an Ubuntu channel
[13:53] <linuxguy101> hey if you guys have a stopwatch program, then i can find out what the name is and maybe install it on mandriva
[13:53] <farciarz84> jrib: access top dir e.g cd /home/user/blabla --> ok but cd /home/user --> permission denied
[13:53] <bazhang> linuxguy101, I just did, "stopwatch"
[13:54] <linuxguy101> bazhang: really, that actually works on ubuntu?
[13:54] <sipior> researcher1: interesting notion. perhaps easier just to run a packer sniffer like tcpdump, selecting for traffic intended for the printer.
[13:54] <bazhang> linuxguy101, yes.
[13:54] <linuxguy101> bazhang: ok cool, i will get it on mandriva
[13:54] <jrib> farciarz84: not possible
[13:54] <organise> poggle, i've googl'ed it's something after the checking battery state that is causing the problem, how i can find out what is being checked and in what order
[13:55] <jrib> farciarz84: what do you want to accomplish though?
[13:55] <farciarz84> jrib: :-( what can I do then? I want to user cannot read anything from /home/user/ but can do anything in /home/user/blabla
[13:56] <jrib> farciarz84: do not give the user access to the files in /home/user then.  And only give him execute permissions on /home/user
[13:56] <janmoesen> farciarz84: create a directory somewhere else, e.g. under /home or /var and chmod that to 777
[13:56] <farciarz84> so he can access/read/write in /home/user/blabla/ but cannot read/write files in /home/user/  '/home/user/ is just a example in fact this is different dir
[13:56] <FxIII> is there a way to reset the configuration for the upper bar when in ubuntu-netbook remix?
[13:57] <FxIII> is there some .configurationDir under the home directory?
[13:57] <jrib> farciarz84: you cannot prevent him from "cd parent_directory", but he won't be able to do anything in it :)
[13:57] <lebear> I'm looking for some support on a dvd device issue
[13:58] <bazhang> lebear, ask an actual question
[13:58] <tehbaut> how do I set my time zone in Maverick?
[13:58] <tehbaut> I added a location, but that didn't change the time zone of my main clock
[13:58] <ProjectTFZO> hi all - is there a ubuntu package for usa-19h keyspan usb to serial adapater drivers
[13:59] <lebear> the dvd in my laptop simply refused accepting any discs a few days back. tried blank dvd's, orginal dvd's, dvd-r's etc. nothing happened. I thought it was a hardware issue, bought one of those cleaning discs which actually did load (with some "cleaning in progress" music and video)
[13:59] <jrib> farciarz84: example: « mkdir -p parent/sub; chmod a-rw parent »  If you had files in parent, you would need to remove the user's permission on those because even though he cannot « ls parent », he could still access the files there if he knew of them and had permission
[13:59] <lebear> now, how do I proceed to diagnose what the issue might be?
[14:00] <jrib> lebear: probably a hardware issue, I've had many dvd drives fail.  You could try a different OS to see if it makes a difference
[14:00] <lebear> if I put a dics in, it makes some noise for a while,, and the disk utility tells me "no media present"
[14:00] <mbeierl> lebear: are there errors in /var/log/messages?
[14:00] <serialized> is it all discs or just dvds?
[14:01] <lebear> serialized, tried a cd-rw aswell, didnt work
[14:01] <serialized> my dell 6000 could only read dvds not cds
[14:01] <serialized> for some reason
[14:01] <mbeierl> lebear: my dvd reader died in a strange way.  For a month or two it refused to read CDs at all, just DVDs.  then it stopped reading those too
[14:01] <serialized> like someone has said your drive is probably broken
[14:01] <mbeierl> serialized: my dell d630 too!
[14:02] <serialized> :D
[14:02] <lebear> mbeierl, in the message log: [ 7150.093663] VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0
[14:02]  * jrib has also had dell dvd drives fail -_-
[14:02] <mbeierl> that's too funny.
[14:02] <mbeierl> that it's just dvds and not cds ...
[14:02] <serialized> i know
[14:02] <serialized> gave it to my sister in the end so not all bad
[14:03] <farciarz84> jrib: thx
[14:03] <farciarz84> :)
[14:04] <lebear> mbeierl, annoying though. it's a PATA interface and I can't seem to find any of those reasonably priced as replacements.. :(
[14:05] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[14:05] <mbeierl> lebear: what I would do ... although not as good, is get a cheap usb standalone one.  you can find them for around $30CAD here...
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> DVD/cd reading - uses differnt lasers i thought.
[14:06] <lebear> mbeierl, yeah I'll do that. wouldnt mind watching dvds on the train.. but that's the only option. I live in Sweden and there are NO drives (PATA) available. so I'd have to order internationally, which would cost over $80 usd.. def not worth it
[14:07] <mbeierl> Dr_Willis: I thought it was just a different spectrum frequency, but same laser unit...
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> mbeierl:  may be same diode 'thing' but i thought it was 2 differnt types/colors.. (freq) but i may be thinking of the burner lasers also
[14:07] <mbeierl> lebear: there's no type of used computer shop that might carry old hardware?
[14:08] <Guest10678> hello
[14:08] <mbeierl> Dr_Willis: yes, it is two different colours.  dual layer adds even more colours I think.
[14:08] <shack1> Hello all
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> dual layer - think can move the focus up/down some how. :) Ive never had a DL burner work worth a darn.

[14:09] <nVee> is there a way to run mutliple terminal "windows" in ubuntu server?
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nVee:  screen lets you have more then one terminal in a 'window'
[14:10] <nVee> awesome
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nVee:  it depends on the details of how you are getting a terminal....
[14:10] <nVee> let me get screen :)
[14:10] <nits_hunter> trying to do a chmod -R username:groupname /path-to-folder to get ownership of the mounted partitions at /mnt but it aint changing the ownership, ideas guys?
[14:10] <nVee> well at the moment I am running terminal through ssh
[14:10] <nVee> putty :)
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nits_hunter:  and the filesystem of the partition is?
[14:10] <nVee> i know I can open multiple putty windows
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nVee:  you want to use screen/byobu then.

[14:13] <Dr_Willis> nits_hunter:  No.. you dont use chmod at all. You use teh proper options to ntfs-3g or the mount ommand.
[14:13] <Sammi16> and i cannot change it back that i can see...

[14:41] <organise> hi does anyone know why when you do /etc/init.d/gdm restart in ubuntu 10.10 it doesn't properly restart gnome it just goes to a black screen saying "checking battery status" ?
[14:41] <AnthLee> zlatan, I recommend cleaning the dust out of your machine to make sure its cooling properly and running a memtest and see if either of those are the cause
[14:41] <Guest3811> I'm testing something on BlogTV, actually my cam works well, but It doesn't detect me when I'm talking with microphone, It just says I'm using a Linux Microphone (this one was used when I had Windows).
[14:41] <aeon-ltd> organise: it doesn't restart gnome, it restarts X what you are seeing is the cli/vitrual terminal without X
[14:42] <nits_hunter> nodestool: http://www.d9x.net/linux/guides/crons.php
[14:42] <zlatan> AnthLee:how do I conduct memtest
[14:42] <AnthLee> zlatan, also checking the filesystem for errors is good practice in such matters
[14:42] <Guest3811> o nvm
[14:42] <royale1233> zlatan: during startup
[14:42] <Guest3811> It works, but It needs me to press the record button on altamixer option
[14:42] <Guest3811> dO I need to have it toogled on all time o.O?
[14:42] <SA-Geoff> lol
[14:42] <organise> aeon-ltd but how i can restart X so that it goes back into gnome
[14:42] <SA-Geoff> once you set it, log on as root and run alsactl store
[14:42] <royale1233> zlatan: select memtest from list of os
[14:42] <zlatan> AnthLee:how to check filesystem
[14:42] <AnthLee> zlatan, use the live cd and instead of choosing live or install choose memtest
[14:43] <SA-Geoff> "alsactl store"
[14:43] <zlatan> royale:there is no memtest on list
[14:43] <nnvno> Hello
[14:43] <AnthLee> zlatan, http://www.memtest.org/
[14:43] <aeon-ltd> organise: kill it then start it, 'sudo killall X' then gdm should do the rest

 try to configure the sound  in the prefernaces manu
[14:45] <nnvno> Excuse me (probably this has been answered a thousand times before, but) I'm getting "bus error" when I try to start applications.
[14:46] <pianonut> I am having difficulty setting up a LinuxMint boot on a desktop with XP.  The LinuxMint User's manual on p 14 shows the screen at the stage: "Allocate drive space" the option  "Install alongside other operating systems" but that option is not on my scrfeen.
[14:46] <nnvno> Killing profiles from the "home" sort of works, but I'd prefer less radical solution.
[14:46] <nnvno> If there is one...
[14:47] <tsaklidis> can anyone help me? i installed 10.04 and have no sound..
[14:47] <royale1233> pianonut: try #linuxmint.com channel
[14:47] <Pici> !mintsupport | pianonut
[14:48] <pianonut> Thanks, royale1233.  and Pici and ubottu.  I'm now going to irc.spotchat.org
[14:49] <guitar-maniac> Hey! I'm trying to install ubuntu to USB stcik with Unetbooting.. How can i know if i should choose /dev/sbd1 od dev/ Also does unetbooting make it automatically persistent style install?
[14:50] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: what brand is your soundcard?
[14:50] <fluitfries> question: does the latest version of ubuntu make a good solution for a hulu/flash video PC hooked up to a television?  last time i checked it was tricky to get flash installed correctly.  thanks!
[14:50] <SA-Geoff> guitar-maniac:  run this in a terminal:  lshw -C disk
[14:50] <organise> aeon-ltd thanks so what's /etc/init.d/gdm for then?
[14:51] <Luci4n0> Sound Blaster Augigy by any chance?
[14:51] <nnvno> So, only wipe-out or reinstall?
 don't know.. how check?
[14:51] <SA-Geoff> guitar-maniac:  it will give you a description of your drives adn should give you enough info to figure out which one is correct
[14:51] <aeon-ltd> organise: its a daemon, that controls the gnome login manager and starts X automatically on boot
[14:51] <marefenicio> ci sei
[14:52] <aeon-ltd> organise: without it you would start without X, unless you had another login manager
[14:52] <Koheleth> hi, is there a channel for the Evolution mailer on Freenode?
[14:52] <guitar-maniac> SA-Geoff: Thanks! How about that Persistent style install with Unetbootin?
[14:52] <marefenicio> \ dns _luke
[14:53] <SA-Geoff> guitar-maniac:  Not sure about that one.
[14:53] <aeon-ltd> !persistent | guitar-maniac
[14:53] <BluesKaj> fluitfries, what kind of connection to your TV?
[14:53] <aeon-ltd> !usb | guitar-maniac
[14:53] <fluitfries> BluesKaj: just a VGA...  i have no HDMI or DVI cards to use at the moment.  i'm more worried about flash...
[14:53] <Koheleth> maybe someone on here can help?  Setting up Evolution, my server uses prot 587 for smtp so would the settings for the server in the sending mail tab be mydomain.net:587
[14:54] <nnvno> Anyone?
[14:55] <evanandersen> help! my nvidia graphics drivers are not working! i installed them the regular way through the additional drivers pane
[14:55] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: do you have gnome or kde?
[14:55] <BluesKaj> fluitfries, if you're running a 64bit Install then you might have some flash issues , but if not make sure you install flashplugin-installer and ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:56] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: if you have gnome, install gnome alsamixer to check if your sound may be muted.
[14:56] <fluitfries> BluesKaj: this is an older IBM workstation...  2.5 Ghz, 1 G ram...  should I use the Desktop, or Netbook ISO?
 gnome..
 it is installed
[14:57] <stickyboy> I'm trying to edit Exif tags on Ubuntu 10.10.  I swear I did it once, but Eye of Gnome doesn't seem to be able to edit them...
[14:57] <nnvno> Sorry to repeat - is there a solution to "bus error" when starting most applications?
[14:57] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: start the mixer and check if your sound is muted somewhere
[14:57] <BluesKaj> fluitfries, desktop, but I think the "alternate install" will be best for your older hardware
it is not...
[14:57] <fluitfries> BluesKaj: thanks for your help!
[14:57] <___flazzid> how do i remove ppa's
[14:57] <BluesKaj> !alternate | fluitfries
[14:57] <pianonut> Please bear with my ignorance but I'm trying to follow ubottu's suggestion of using irc.spotchat.org to ask a linuxmint question.  All I get is a screen with the phrase:  It works!

[15:00] <Luci4n0> pianonut: try connecting to irc.spotchat.org with your irc client.
i think it is from motherboard the laptop is not mine..
[15:00] <bazhang> ___flazzid, install it?
[15:00] <nnvno> failed command: READ DMA in kern.log - is this related to the "bus error"?
[15:00] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: what is the brand of the laptop? and type?
[15:01] <aeon-ltd> markturnip: background it? 'commandofchoice &'
[15:02] <nnvno> OK, I see there's not much help here
[15:03] <markturnip> aeon-ltd: Ist that the only way? Some init.d/ scripts allow me to "start" then they will just run as a daemon?

[15:12] <Flynsarmy> hey guys. I've set up mail server on ubuntu using tasksel. I now have to set up email aliases - foo@mydomain.com -> bar@otherdomain.com.au - how would i go about doing this?
[15:13] <Julia_23>  I have a system reserved  emtpy SDA1 primary NTFS 100 mb.   SDA2 is 100 gig ntfs emtpy. 3rd partition is extended 50 gig  for linux, finally 2gig swap.  I want to replace the 100 GIG ntfs with ext4 and use that partition as my home folder.... if I replace the system reserved or the SDA2 ntfs partition
[15:13] <Julia_23> Sorry, system reserved isnt empty... my bad
[15:14] <panoukla_> is there a file system that both windows and linux can use together. for example i have on HD for windows, second HD for ubuntu, and a third HD that i use for music, pictures, etc. problem is i want to host on my lamp and the "storage" hd is NTFS and doesn't play well with writing in the ubuntu install
[15:14] <panoukla_> so im thinking i could change the filesystem to play nice with both, if possible
[15:14] <Flynsarmy> panoukla_: they both work with NTFS
[15:14] <Julia_23> If i format or delete sda1/2 will I lose my grub?
[15:14] <F0sterO4> nobody?
[15:14] <Flynsarmy> panoukla_: I believe you can also get ext2 working on windows - i did a while back
[15:14] <compdoc> panoukla_, samba
[15:14] <Julia_23> see, I want to copy some of my old ubuntu files to a new 100 gig ext4
[15:14] <panoukla_> Flynsarmy, the problem im having is writing to the NTFS partition
[15:15] <Flynsarmy> panoukla_: it shoudl work out of the box
[15:15] <skorv> Julia_32: are u replacing windows system completely?
[15:15] <Pici> Flynsarmy: Modify /etc/aliases and then run sudo newaliases
[15:15] <SA-Geoff> F0sterO4, what is your question?
[15:15] <skorv> sorry 23 :P
[15:15] <Pici> Flynsarmy: See man aliases for the file format.
[15:15] <Julia_23> So I want to keep my logical 50 gig linux in tact for the time being, because I dont have any drives to back up my information
[15:15] <Julia_23> skorv
[15:16] <cyphase> ah, my phone now appears as a digital music player after that last update of the media player info files
[15:16] <rubbs> Julia_23: so just make sure I have this right. You have a 100Gb ntfs drive you want to delete and make an EXT4 drive correct?
[15:16] <Flynsarmy> Pici: I've had a look in there and it seems to take a foo: bar syntax. problem is, i need foo@domain1.com => bar@domain2.com...do i just enter foo@domain.com: bar@domain2.com into the aliases file?
[15:16] <ndts> I'm using Rhythmbox to play music off my iPod touch and it messes up the album artwork. How can I fix this?
[15:16] <royale1233> Julia_23: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR try thsi
[15:16] <skorv> Julia_23: they are wiser than me... listen to them not to me hihi!
[15:16] <Pici> Flynsarmy: Do you receive mail from domain.com on that server?
[15:16] <rubbs> Julia_23: You are willing to lose everything on your NTFS drive?
[15:16] <Julia_23> my windows installation went bad because I never ran chdks before resizing, so I backed up what I could and transferred it to my linux partition.  now my nfts is emtty . would like to dual boot
[15:16] <Julia_23> chkdsk
[15:16] <Flynsarmy> Pici: the server receives mail for domain.com but not domain2.com
[15:17] <rubbs> Julia_23: ah, so you want to re-install windows.
[15:17] <Julia_23> maybe place windows on 20 gig
[15:17] <Julia_23> partition
[15:17] <Pici> Flynsarmy: Then just put:   foo: bar@domain2.com
[15:17] <Flynsarmy> Pici: thanks, you've been extremely helpful :)
[15:17] <Julia_23> and create a partition for grub
[15:17] <Julia_23> to avoid conflictiong os. im kind of new at this so
[15:17] <Julia_23> been researching for hours!
[15:18] <rubbs> Julia_23: I'd suggest using a partion editor to carve out the partitions you want. Then install windows on the ntfs drive. Then if grub gets messed up you can use the livecd to repair grub.
[15:18] <Julia_23> ok
[15:18] <rubbs> Julia_23: I'll see if I can dig up a link on how to repair grub... just a sec.
[15:18] <Julia_23> does it really matter if i install ubuntu first or not? if i create a small partition for bootloading
[15:19] <Julia_23> im sure i can find a grub repair link myself, but if you can find a good one then cool, 10.10 maverick
[15:19] <rubbs> Julia_23: not really. Linux second is easier because it's auto-magical. but it's possible to do windows after a linux install.
[15:19] <royale1233> Julia_23: instlling ubuntu lst will be better
[15:19] <aroman> hello, how can I record my entire desktop as a screencast with audio from my mic? Thanks!
[15:19] <Flynsarmy> Pici: last question, one needs to be forwarded to 2 places. how would I go about that? separate the addresses on the right of the : by a comma?
[15:19] <popey> aroman: recordmydesktop
[15:19] <aroman> popey: doens't that only do ogv?
[15:19] <Julia_23> see I already transferred my wubi to a 50 gig and hand to repair my grub, so im fammiliar with that, i know its different for a logical/;primary repair
[15:19] <Pici> Flynsarmy: I haven't done it myself, but the manpage for aliases suggests thats the proper syntax.
[15:19] <popey> aroman: it does, but you can convert to other formats easily
[15:20] <popey> aroman: i convert to h264, avi..
[15:20] <aroman> popey: using what software?
[15:20] <popey> aroman: ffmpeg

[15:44] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: thanks.
[15:45] <Julia_23> @rubbs: If your home partition is separate from your system partition, is there any point in encrypting your HOME parition, will this make it not worth the hassle of reinstalling your UBuntu os?
[15:45] <ayecee> Julia_23: sure, provided you have a backup of the data on your home partition.
[15:46] <Geli> anyone can help?
[15:46] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: I'm not seeing anything wrong. I'm not sure why grub-update didn't work. have you tried posting on ubuntu-forums? there are much better grub gurus there. I may be stumped :(

[15:47] <goltoof> what would i use to just record the sound currently playing? not input sound.
[15:47] <rubbs> Julia_23: I've done both. Encryption can make it harder to do a recovery if you ever have to re-install... on the other hand, that's kind of the point ;).
[15:47] <Julia_23> @ayecce aka, you can't access previously encrypted HOME partitions on fresh / new installations of UBUNTU without a hassle?
[15:47] <rohitnikcool> rubbs: yea man thanks.
[15:47] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: sorry I couldn't help more :(
[15:47] <ayecee> Julia_23: right, wouldn't be much point to encryption if you could.

[15:52] <webresourc> I am new on Linux and I need some help  . . .
[15:52] <Dr_Willis_> Geli:  you dont use gdebi/dpkg on .tar.gz   its for .deb packages
[15:53] <ayecee> Geli: tar.bz2? that doesn't sound like an ubuntu package.
[15:53] <Geli> oh i see
[15:53] <Geli> ??
[15:53] <schnuffle> !ask | webresourc
[15:53] <webresourc> why when I use the sudo and after I pree enter it work fine and when I use the su and enter the same password as in sudo the passwork is incorect ?
[15:54] <Geli> i wanna install my media system
[15:54] <webresourc> any idea please ?
[15:54] <AnthLee> webresourc, sudo su to change to root
[15:54] <webresourc> ah !
[15:54] <ayecee> or sudo -s
[15:54] <bazhang> AnthLee, webresourc sudo -i NOT sudo su
[15:54] <balthus> webresourc: because with sudo you type your own password while with su, it expects the root one
[15:55] <AnthLee> and why not sudo su?
[15:55] <Geli> so tar.bz2 isn't good for installing a progam for Ubuntu?
[15:55] <webresourc> I am the only one person in my computer . . .
[15:55] <webresourc> and the password is the same . . .
[15:55] <smw> AnthLee, well, I would at least use sudo su -
[15:55] <webresourc> and now to return from root to my username just exti ?
[15:55] <AnthLee> webresourc, su username
[15:55] <webresourc> nice :)
[15:56] <smw> webresourc, yes
[15:56] <bazhang> !noroot
[15:56] <webresourc> thanks a lot :)
[15:56] <Dr_Willis_> Geli:  i think you may need to learn some ubuntu/linux fundamentals first
[15:56] <smw> webresourc, do not su from root back to your user.
[15:56] <Geli> i have some...
[15:56] <AnthLee> we aren't setting a root password we are getting root there is a difference
[15:56] <balthus> webresourc: on ubuntu, the root account is not active
[15:56] <bazhang> AnthLee, its not how its done here, please dont recommend it
[15:56] <Geli> i'm TRYing with linum approx 2 year
[15:56] <IdleOne> AnthLee: sudo -i for extend root privs
[15:57] <Geli> but i think tar.bz2 must be an installebale somehow
[15:57] <AnthLee> and this is why I run Debian =)
[15:58] <shazzr> Dr_Willis_: So what did you do? I've connected the printer, but it won't work.
[15:59] <Geli> hmmm i hate be internetless in ubuntu...
[15:59] <christian> holaaaaaaaaaaaa
[15:59] <Dr_Willis_> shazzr:  check the foruyms for your exact make/model printer. check  the cups.org site and linuxprinting.org site also it may give a clue if theres extra packages you need.
[15:59] <Dr_Willis_> !printing
[15:59] <smw> Geli, I also hate it when I am internetless...
[15:59] <Guest62825> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[16:00] <Geli> any other ideas how to install a tar.bz2 package in Ubuntu offline?
[16:00] <Dr_Willis_> Geli:  2 years? you realise a tar.gz is just an 'archive' it could be anything in there.. most likely Source code - you compile. and  if so 'yes' it would be installable. IF you compiled it.
[16:00] <Dr_Willis_> Geli:  to compile it. you sould need to download quite a few other packages first.
[16:00] <AnthLee> and compiling things is a pain Geli what program are you trying to install ?
[16:00] <Geli> my media system
[16:01] <smw> Geli, is that the name of a program?
[16:01] <Geli> yes
[16:01] <agodami> Greetz,  noob trying to download packages via ftp , but we have a darn proxy server here at work.
[16:02] <agodami> please help me get cli /usr/bin/ftp   to get some packages from ftp.perl.org   can't get it to work.
[16:02] <agodami> I've already tried setting up ENV proxy for http and ftp  no worky
[16:03] <Mike1> where am I supposed to configure X in Ubuntu 10.04? The /etc/X11/xorg.conf is deprecated, isn’t it?
[16:03] <Dr_Willis_> Mike1:  for the most part. Yes.. you can make one if you wanted
[16:03] <sacarlson> A_B_: I'm reading this and haven't found a good solution yet other than unload the cx88 module http://video4linux-list.1448896.n2.nabble.com/cx88-IRQ-loop-runaway-td1563570.html
[16:05] <sacarlson> A_B_: if it's a card try move it to a different slot seems to be a shared irq conflict problem
[16:05] <Garzooka> greetings
[16:05] <A_B_> sacarlson, I have a dvb card in the computer but i'm not using it right now, should I take it out?
[16:06] <sacarlson> A_B_: yes if you can live without it pull it
[16:06] <A_B_> sacarlson, ok, I'll give it a try. will have to log off though....
[16:06] <oCean> agodami: Can I suggest installing ncftp? Once you've installed that, and ran "ncftp" once, there's a ~/.ncftp/firewall configuration file, where you can give all the details for connecting through proxy
[16:07] <Des79> Hi all, can I get help with postfix please
[16:07] <ShootEmUp> Hi everyone!
[16:07] <balthus> !ask
[16:08] <oCean> Des79: for specific postfix, there's #postfix channel
[16:08] <Des79> I know oCean
[16:09] <agentgasmask> So why arn't you there?
[16:09] <oCean> Des79: it it's not specific, but related to ubuntu, then explain your issue (detailed in one single line) in this channel
[16:10] <Des79> I have problem with sending emails outside the box getting relay access denied , do I have to set my wan ip in mynetworks = ? any ideas
[16:13] <YankeesFan> Is ubuntu the operating system or is linux the operating system?
[16:13] <azert> hi there
[16:13] <ayecee> YankeesFan: both, for various definitions of operating system.
[16:13] <Garzooka> what us
[16:13] <joel135> Hi! Is there a by you known way of creating an iso holding the contents of a hd, saving it directly to a scp/sftp-server?
[16:13] <thebitguru> Hi, I have been playing around with samba, resintalled it a few times and now I am noticing that it is using different location for the configuration file, e.g. /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb instead of /etc/samba/secrets.tdb.  Does anyone have any idea where that is configured?
[16:14] <Garzooka> what is the minimum Hdd and ram needed to run Linus?
[16:14] <YankeesFan> linux is the kernel right?
[16:14] <Garzooka> linux*
[16:14] <joel135> (I need to back up a messed up windows partition)
[16:14] <rumpe1> YankeesFan, yes
[16:15] <organise> hi if i remove gdm will i still be able to use gnome desktop but without the logging bit?
[16:15] <Garzooka> anyone?
[16:15] <oCean> !reqs | Garzooka
[16:16] <sacarlson> Garzooka: about 512meg ram with about 4 gig hd
[16:16] <teweWork> i use ubuntu 10.04, i have to use a http proxy with authentication with a windows domain user, i tried setting system preferences, added export http_proxy with user and password to bashrc, modified apt.conf and apt works fine, but synaptic sais Proxy Requires Authentication, it worked when i installed ubuntu but a few months ago it broke
[16:16] <Mike1> anyone have a tutorial for me on how to set up a TV-Out with the radeon driver?
[16:16] <Mike1> can’t find any real information on the internet
[16:17] <Mike1> just some configs which might, or might not work
[16:17] <ZykoticK9_> sacarlson, the minimum pages states "15GB of hard-drive space" -- i've installed onto 4GB EEE 701, it runs out of space very quickly.  Garzooka
[16:17] <azert> hi there
[16:18] <joel135> Please help me with what I wrote a couple of minutes ago :D
[16:18] <azert> what this error tell me ?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/555443/
[16:18] <ayecee> joel135: why an iso?
[16:18] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9 I also have an eeepc and it's barly big enuf
[16:18] <ayecee> joel135: why not a raw image?
[16:18] <joel135> sorry
[16:19] <Garzooka> its just that I need an os for my old pc with 20k Hdd and 50mb of ram
[16:19] <joel135> meant that
[16:19] <Mike1> Garzooka: Tiny Core Linux? :)
[16:19] <joel135> anything that lets me revert any changes made
[16:19] <A_B_> sacarlson, thanks it seems ok now....
[16:19] <AlecTaylor> Finally got around to installing Linux on my Laptop...
[16:19] <AlecTaylor> Was unable to resize partitions properly, first boot fails; need to force shutdown, wireless card isn't detected... so I reboot. Then I get this "reloc offset is out of segment" error, and am not able to boot into any OS.
[16:20] <ayecee> joel135: use dd, pipe to scp, perhaps?
[16:20] <sacarlson> A_B_: cool it might even work in a different slot
[16:20] <Da_Wrecka> This question may seem peculiar... But here's the deal. I liked the interface in Lucid UNE. I HATE the Unity interface. Is it possible to use the netbook interface from 10.04 in 10.10? Or am I just going to have to format my root partition and install 10.04?
[16:20] <Garzooka> I have know idea but I need another os other than dos
[16:20] <AlecTaylor> FreeDOS? :P
[16:20] <ayecee> crap. scp doesn't take - as meaning stdin.
[16:20] <IdleOne> azert: i would ask in #asterisk
[16:20] <A_B_> sacarlson, yes.. this might also explain the endless problems i've been having with the dvb card :)
[16:21] <ZykoticK9> Garzooka, 50MB of RAM is probably not enough to run Ubuntu, you should check out one of the smaller/minimal distros out there.  I'm sure the 20k HD was a typo, 20GB would be fine for Ubuntu or others.
[16:21] <joel135> how do you do that?
[16:21] <azert> are you good on * ?  IdleOne
[16:21] <ayecee> joel135: dd if=hdd_device | ssh sshserver cat > backup.file
[16:21] <IdleOne> azert: I don't know it at all sorry
[16:22] <azert> ok thanks
[16:22] <ayecee> oops, that's not quite right either.
[16:22] <Garzooka> its just silly, its been acting up since the old hdd stopped spinning up (just beeped)
[16:22] <Garzooka> I don't get whats wrong
[16:22] <sipior> ayecee: have you tried specifying "/dev/stdin" for the argument to scp?
[16:22] <IdleOne> Garzooka: sounds like a hardware problem, see ##hardware.
[16:22] <ayecee> joel135: put the "cat > backup.file" in quotes
[16:23] <ayecee> sipior: good idea
[16:23] <agodami> revising my question:   Trying to go through a  http proxy at work from my linux but so that I can ftp to perl.org to dowload packages.  I got ncftp installed, not sure how to configure the firewall  file.
[16:23] <m1chael> im trying to use fdisk for the first time to set up a new hard drive.. http://dpaste.com/329615/ # what am i doing wrong?
[16:23] <ayecee> sipior: nope, scp complains "not a regular file"
[16:23] <sipior> ayecee: works here.
[16:23] <joel135> ok. I will try that. thank you!
[16:24] <ayecee> sipior: dd if=/dev/whatever | scp /dev/stdin fileserver:remotefile ?
[16:24] <ZykoticK9> m1chael, once you reboot you should have no partitions - you deleted them all.
[16:25] <agentgasmask> Anyone know if you can use Calcurse with calDAV?
[16:25] <ayecee> sipior: if that works (and it doesn't for me), might as well scp the hard drive device directly
[16:25] <m1chael> i want to create 1 full linux partition now
[16:26] <Da_Wrecka> I'd actually recommend NOT doing that, m1chael
[16:26] <Da_Wrecka> I'd suggest you make at least two partitions; One mounted at /, and the other mounted at /home
[16:26] <ZykoticK9> m1chael, until you reboot your system is still using the old partition table, as noted in the last message "The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot"
[16:26] <joel135> wait... do I have to use the partition dev or could I use the hd dev?
[16:27] <potatotrip> hi, i need to change my wifi-adapter setting (PSP XLink mode = true), but i don't know where to find the config-file.
[16:27] <ayecee> joel135: hd dev would be better, that way you can restore the partition table and boot sector at the same time.
[16:27] <sipior> ayecee: if you're trying to pull from a disk, best to pull the partitions with partimage and then send them along with scp. or simply use pax.
[16:27] <ZykoticK9> m1chael, typically linux will use a minimum of 2 partitions, a / and a swap -- technically swap isn't required, but you usually should have one.
[16:27] <ayecee> joel135: but you could do either.
[16:27] <joel135> great
[16:28] <Da_Wrecka> My recommendation; Three partitions, one for /, one for /home, and one swap. Unless you're forgoing swap, which can be done with enough RAM.
[16:28] <ayecee> joel135: sipior's got a point, partimage would be better, but what I've described will still work.
[16:29] <joel135> ok
[16:29] <Dr_Willis_> I always put at least a 512mb swap on any HD. just in case I use a live cd. :) they can use it.
[16:29] <ayecee> I wouldn't recommend partimage for a damaged filesystem, though.
[16:29] <induz_>  i need some help on OOffice templet making, basically i want to store/save a Service form so that i can fillup the info when i open it i am using OO3 with Lucid
[16:29] <Da_Wrecka> I'm not using swap on my netbook right now, but that's because it's running off a USB hard disk since the internal hard disk has failed
[16:30] <joel135> do I need to be root?
[16:30] <ayecee> joel135: yes, definitely.
[16:30] <ayecee> joel135: the partition on the hard drive should not be mounted either. this is something you'd normally do from a livecd.
[16:30] <potatotrip> hi, i need to change my wifi-adapter setting (PSP XLink mode = true), but i don't know where to find the config-file.  i really got stuck here...
[16:30] <joel135> I am
[16:31] <michaelxq> how can i install a windows program?
[16:31] <Dr_Willis_> !wine | michaelxq
[16:31] <bazhang> michaelxq, via wine check the appdb and join #winehq
[16:31] <undecim> induz_: I think #openoffice.org could offer better assistance. Not many people on that channel though. Perhaps the OOo forums?
[16:32] <sacarlson> potatotrip: my guess is you can make that change in your wifi adapter with the iwconfig  command
[16:32] <michaelxq> bazhang, thanks
[16:32] <michaelxq> Dr_Willis_, thank you
[16:32] <organise> hi i've got autologin setup but whenever i kill X, the window manager restarts but goes to the gdm login screen i want it to just autologin how can i do this?
[16:33] <potatotrip> thx, sacarlson, i'll try that
[16:33] <ayecee> organise: I'm kind of curious to know myself.
[16:33] <newb1> hello i wastrying to load ubuntu  10.10 after xp  and it got hung in the install and i can't boot into xp ...just get the xp
[16:33] <undecim> organise: I think that's to prevent GDM from going into an infinite loop...
[16:34] <undecim> organize: I think you can add a timed login in addition to the auto-login
[16:34] <Guest72987> hello
[16:34] <undecim> organize: That way when X dies, it will wait a few seconds, but it will auto-log back in
[16:34] <kill> dafadf
[16:34] <kill> opo kie cah???
[16:34] <kill> :o
[16:35] <ayecee> undecim: I haven't seen it autologin on restart, only on first start. maybe that's changed recently.
[16:35] <balthus> michaelxq: you should also have a look at Playonlinux, it can handle tricky windows apps that require extra installation in order to function properly
[16:35] <Pici> !id | kill
[16:35] <joel135> It seems to be working. There shouldn't be any text output, right?
[16:35] <ayecee> joel135: right
[16:35] <organise> timed logins doesn't solve the problem
[16:36] <michaelxq> balthus, thank you
[16:36] <ayecee> joel135: the reverse operation is similar, but even easier: ssh fileserver "cat backup.file" > hdd_device
[16:36] <michaelxq> balthus, i'll try it :)
[16:36] <undecim> organize: GImme a minute and I'll see if there is an option in the GDM conf file.
[16:36] <joel135> ok
[16:37] <ne2k> joel135: ayecee: you shouldn't use cat for diskimages, you should use dd and tune the blocksize to the HDD buffer size for maximum efficiency
[16:38] <sacarlson> potatotrip: also lood at iwpriv command
[16:38] <ayecee> ne2k: I don't think it would make a dramatic difference in this case. the network is likely the bottleneck.
[16:38] <joel135> it is. 2.8MiB/s
[16:38] <undecim> organise: If that can't be done, you could always start X directly as your desired user with inittab, and forget about GDM completely
[16:39] <organise> undecim hmm might try that how would i do that is it just /etc/init.d/X start ?
[16:39] <ayecee> ne2k: besides, read-ahead and async writes will take care of most of the difference even if the network were faster.
[16:40] <undecim> organise: First you have to setup ~/.xinitrc to start gnome (or whatever DE you're using) then put the line in inittab to run it
[16:40] <ne2k> ayecee: dd is the correct tool
[16:40] <ayecee> ne2k: dd is a correct tool
[16:42] <undecim> organise: Are you using Gnome? (i.e. the default Ubuntu desktop)
[16:42] <coder2> any hacking stuff for debian??
[16:42] <undecim> coder2: "Hacking stuff".... Either you should be in a programming channel, or you watch too many movies.
[16:42] <jimc> quit

[16:44] <cyb3r> new here
[16:45] <popey> joel135: thats configurable
[16:45] <joel135> the default
[16:45] <popey> joel135: power manager can configure what happens
[16:45] <Daekdroom> popey, he's probably asking the default.

[16:46] <duelle> Good evening! I have a quite strange problem concerning ndiswrapper and my WLAN usb stick. I got the usb stick running but after reboot it refuses to do so. So i have to reinstall. And if i'm lucky it works ... but I'm not always lucky :(
[16:46] <schnuffle> aree: elaborate
[16:46] <joel135> popey: is it the "laptop lid"?
[16:47] <sacarlson> aree: I guess you can use nat on openvpn but it's not the same it's a network tunnel/bridging tool
[16:47] <popey> joel135: in system -> preferences -> power manager (I think that's what it's called - I am not on an ubuntu box right now)
[16:47] <dury> about avidemux...is it possible to start creating a video with this application as you start a new document in a word proccessing application?
[16:47] <joel135> ok
[16:47] <joel135> could anyone tell me what a "laptop lid" is?
[16:48] <Julia_23> can anyone here pm me, I need some help with Ubuntu partition options
[16:48] <share>  hello
[16:48] <jrib> !pm | Julia_23
[16:48] <popey> joel135: the bit with the screen in
[16:48] <duelle> joel135: usually it is the thing where the lcd is in .. a kind of metaphor for an eye
[16:48] <dury> I mean add images, transitions, and music
[16:48] <Julia_23> hehe
[16:48] <Dr_Willis_> joel135:  you mean the powersettings refering to the lid switch?
[16:48] <aree> well i try to explain  my problem i got a public IP on a pc without router with nat setting on my vbox, host ubuntu guest centos ayecee schnuffle sacarlson
[16:48] <joel135> correct
[16:49]  * Dr_Willis_ flips his lid
[16:49] <cyb3r> how do i use linux with the laptop lid closed?
[16:49] <Dr_Willis_> cyb3r:  set the pc to not shutdown/hibernate when lid closed. (power saver settings i belive)
[16:49] <aree> i want that host and guest communicate each other
[16:49] <Julia_23> I have multible partitions, want to format the larger of them, create a partition for my home folder, and copy some of my old /home stuff to the new partition, as well as install windows and have a /boot partition

[16:51] <dury> avidemux video editor application.... any users in this channel?
[16:51] <akshay> hi
[16:52] <dury> is there specific channel
[16:52] <ZykoticK9> dury, i think Pitivi or another video editor would be better suited to your needs then avidemux (which i use, but not for transitions and music as you are requesting)
[16:52] <cyb3r> is there any way to do it through the konsole
[16:52] <cyb3r> ?
[16:52] <duelle> I have a quite strange problem concerning ndiswrapper and my WLAN usb stick. I got the usb stick running but after reboot it refuses to do so. So i have to reinstall the driver with ndiswrapper. And if i'm lucky it works ... but I'm not always lucky :(  So sometimes I have to reboot several times until it works ..
[16:53] <sacarlson> aree: just set virtualbox to bridge mode?
[16:54] <Dr_Willis_> dury:  check the aps homepage. it may have a channel.. or ask a more specific question abut it in here.
[16:54] <dury> What's wrong with avidemux Zykoyick9?
[16:54] <ZykoticK9> dury, nothings wrong with avidemux
[16:55] <dury> Zykotick9: why you recommend me Pitivi
[16:55] <ZykoticK9> dury, for transitions and music it's not ideal - i use it more for basic cut/paste

[17:26] <Julia_23> A popular way to circumvent OS boot loader incompatibilities is to install a small,  independent "boot" partition (must be a primary partition) in which one  specific bootloader is permanently stored. The MBR is then permanently  set to always refer to the partition of this primary bootloader (and is  never allowed to be changed or to refer to the partition of any other  bootloader). This primary bootloader (in the boot partition) lo
[17:27] <tehbaut> ayecee, I would venture to say it usually happens around the same spots
[17:27] <ayecee> saulus: ddrescue doesn't copy files, but it may be able to recover enough of the filesystem to recover the files within.
[17:27] <ayecee> tehbaut: it seems likely that the drive is taking to long to respond when it's rereading the questionable sectors.
[17:27] <ayecee> so linux resets the drive, and rediscovers it.

[17:43] <Guest65971> ayecee: That would be problematic as the machine with the problem also refuses to make eth0 connection. It is samsunch netbook.
[17:43] <sacarlson> aree: aree: the command route   do man route
[17:43] <Guest65971> ayecee: *samsung
[17:43] <duelle> I have an wireless usb stick running with ndiswrapper, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes I have to reboot several times until it works again. Would like to set it up running on _every_ boot.
[17:43] <ayecee> Guest65971: fdisk -l says there's no partitions?
[17:43] <sipior> sugoruyo: yes.
[17:44] <Guest65971> ayecee: No. The fdisk shows all of them. Gparted ergo the install program has problems. Let me check it again.
[17:44] <sugoruyo> sipior: that's not feasible, it would take too long for something that risks running into the exact same problem...
[17:45] <sipior> sugoruyo: do what you want, i don't care.
[17:45] <miro_> hi i reinstalled grub on my wubi partition accidentally, now i can see grub menu at startup, i can go to windows but hen i select ubuntu, my computer being rebooted. how can i fix this?
[17:45] <sipior> sugoruyo: mac os x is nice.
[17:46] <jayz33> undecim: Thanks much for the quick tutorial! :D
[17:46] <Guest65971> ayecee: Nope. Still it looks like unallocated space. Maybe this is related but few days ago it stopped booting. It started the bios and then restarted. I reinstalled grub from live cd and everything was working till yesterday as I was performing dist updated and some hanges.
[17:46] <ayecee> Guest65971: I'm confused. fdisk -l shows partitions, but gparted shows all unallocated space on /dev/sda ?
[17:47] <Guest65971> ayecee: excacly.
[17:47] <ayecee> Guest65971: you're running gparted as root as well?
[17:47] <bobhope> join #git
[17:47] <Guest65971> ayecee: yes.
[17:48] <bobhope> Hi, I just discovered that for the past few weeks I've been commiting to no branch, and I want to take all of my history and move it to the master branch
[17:48] <bobhope> What's the easiest way to do this?
[17:48] <miro_> hi i reinstalled grub on my wubi partition accidentally, now i can see grub menu at startup, i can go to windows but hen i select ubuntu, my computer being rebooted. how can i fix this?
[17:48] <sipior> bobhope: i think you meant that for the folks in #git :-)
[17:49] <bobhope> sipior, yep, didn't notice
[17:49] <duffolonious> is this the correct place for natty questions?
[17:49] <ayecee> Guest65971: when you run gparted from terminal, do you see any messages in the terminal?
[17:49] <sipior> duffolonious: no, but have a look in #ubuntu+1
[17:49] <undecim> duffolonious: #ubuntu+1
[17:49] <duffolonious> thanks guys
[17:50] <Guest65971> ayecee: Right now I am booting into ubuntu installed on the hdd (the one I want to reinstall).
[17:50] <jshriver> greetings
[17:50] <nicolina> i followed the tutorial about multidistro boot from PXE, but i am not able to boot any distro!!
[17:50] <jshriver> is it possible to configure the network settings without the gnome network manager? this is for a server and I really don't want to rely on X for anything
[17:50] <nicolina> i press enter on opensuse and nothing appens
[17:50] <nicolina> *happens
[17:51] <ayecee> Guest65971: ok. in any case, someone had a similar problem to you, and found that the drive had overlapping partitions. It may be relevant to your case: http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=1161
[17:51] <nicolina> the initrd.,lnux is the right place..
[17:51] <ayecee> Guest65971: I have to attend to other things. good luck!
[17:51] <miro_> can anybody help me? when i try to go ubuntu from grub, its rebooting
[17:51] <sipior> jshriver: absolutely. have a look in /etc/network/interfaces, and "man interfaces"
[17:51] <Guest65971> ayecee: I will check that out. Thank you.

[17:52] <undecim> miro_: Wubi tends to have a lot of boot problems... Unfortunately, not a lot of people are experience with Wubi.
[17:52] <JasonSN> Why won't my movies play?
[17:52] <undecim> miro_: Do you have multiple Ubuntu options in grub, or just one?
[17:52] <JasonSN> I installed restricted-extras and my movies still won't play...
[17:52] <undecim> JasonSN: What is the file extension on the movie?
[17:52] <JasonSN> undecim: How do I see that?
[17:53] <undecim> The movie has a file name... like "movie.avi"
[17:53] <undecim> In that example, the file extension is ".avi"
[17:53] <JasonSN> .mp2?
[17:53] <JasonSN> wait
[17:53] <JasonSN> .bup, .ifo, .vob
[17:53] <JasonSN> .vob is the most popular one it seems
[17:54] <undecim> JasonSN: Have you tried using VLC?
[17:54] <miro_> undecim, i have one. i accidentally blow up my mbr. than i reinstalled it. at now.i  can go to windows but when i select ubuntu computer reboots... i think i broke grub which stays at *wubi disk file*
[17:54] <JasonSN> I am using VLC right now
[17:55] <JasonSN> It not working or I am just not doing something right
[17:55] <undecim> miro_: Alrigh. How did you go about reinstalling your MBR?
[17:55] <bencahill> hey, has anyone around here used xdmx?
[17:55] <JasonSN> File reading failed: VLC could not read the file
[17:55] <undecim> JasonSN: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[17:55] <undecim> JasonSN: Are you reading this from a DVD or something?
[17:56] <kubanc> "The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." :S :S
[17:56] <NooBoontoo> I keep getting the same message in the terminal...
[17:56] <NooBoontoo> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/8JAD3Xvw
[17:56] <dury> hi there channel :) success with pitivi video editor :)
[17:56] <JasonSN> yes
[17:56] <NooBoontoo> Is there a way to fix this?
[17:56] <undecim> JasonSN: It appears to be encrypted then... You will need libdvdcss from the medibuntu repos
[17:57] <undecim> JasonSN: Then you should be able to play it with any player
[17:57] <undecim> JasonSN: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Encrypted%20DVDs
[17:58] <Guest65971> ayecee: It is exacly the same as in the link. One more question. Do you knew the software that the person is reffering to? The "testdisk". I can't find it in a live cd or repositories.
[17:58] <JasonSN> Still not working
[17:58] <miro_> undecim, i start computer with livecd, than i mounted my wubi disk file. after that i used grub-install command, to install grub on wubi partititon. (it overwrite boot folder i think). i restarted computeri, noting worked. After that i start with livecd again, installed lilo and give command lilo fix-mbr (or something like this). it fixed my mbr. I can reach windows and see grub menu. But i think when i used grub-install command i broke my grub on wubi disk. so 
[17:58] <miro_>  can see my grub menu but  i cant go to ubuntu..
[17:59] <Guest65971> Or maybe someone knows how to fix "Can't have overlapping partitions" problem?
[17:59] <undecim> miro_: Okay, I think I see what the problem is...
[18:00] <undecim> miro_: See, wubi uses grub4dos, but you installed grub.
[18:00] <NooBoontoo> I feel hopeless
[18:00] <JasonSN> k, got it working now
[18:00] <JasonSN> thanks
[18:00] <undecim> miro_: Which would have been fine on a normal install, but not so great for Wubi.
[18:00] <sda_> hi all, i have a problem, my desktop doesn't suspend, how can i fix it? (Amd-x6 Asrock MB)
[18:00] <bencahill> NooBoontoo: don't worry, we've all been there at some point in time. :)
[18:01] <undecim> miro_: You'll have to give me a minute to look up some stuff about grub4dos... I've never used it much.
[18:01] <miro_> undecim, okay, i am reading boot problems about wubi now too
[18:02] <wpecker> .
[18:02] <undecim> miro_: Do you ever get to a prompt that looks like "sh:grub>"
[18:02] <undecim> miro_: ?*
[18:03] <miro_> undecim, before i fix my mbr with lilo, i was getting grub rescue prompt
[18:03] <wpecker> Hi, can someone help me understand why this rt61 driver doesn't compile on Karmic? Here is the make output: http://pastebin.com/ApeYXpjz
[18:03] <undecim> miro_: I think you will need to reinstall grub4dos from windows
[18:04] <ezra-s> wpecker, looks like a bug in the code or incompatbility with the kernel code
[18:04] <wpecker> ezra-s, thank you but is there a way I can solve this?
[18:04] <ezra-s> wpecker, judging by the output only
[18:05] <wpecker> changing the filepaths in makefile etc?
[18:05] <ezra-s> wpecker, no idea, try checking the info or requirements in the place where you got the sourcecode
[18:05] <wpecker> they say this project is no longer supported

[18:08] <sda_> hi all, i have a problem, my desktop doesn't suspend, how can i fix it? (Amd-x6 Asrock MB)
[18:08] <JackyAlcine> sda_; suspend's a sloppy feature of the X11 server. don't expect too much.
[18:08] <bencahill> did anyone answer me while I was gone? :P
[18:09] <chris_29> was using ubuntu 10.10
[18:09] <sda_> JackyAlcine,  so i canot put my computer in powersafe mode i can only turn it off?
[18:10] <wpecker> anyone using rt61 wifi?
[18:10] <JackyAlcine> sda_: I was referring to sleep, but you should be able to "hibernate". And you should be able to do that

[18:14] <Daekdroom> bencahill, killall gnome-panel
[18:14] <Daekdroom> It'll automatically come back if you didn't modify the GNOME session that comes by default
[18:14] <bencahill> Daekdroom: thx :)

[18:16] <bencahill> NooBoontoo: why are you trying to run it from terminal?
[18:16] <Raqn> Hey there. I have a problem with a External HDD. It mounts fine on this compiuter, but it won't mount on my PC, it says that it lacks the permissions to install them. This computer is running 10.10, and the one it wont mount on is 10.04. Anyone got any solutions?
[18:16] <bencahill> NooBoontoo: ...and why does it need to be run as root?
[18:16] <NooBoontoo> bencahill: either way, it wont run
[18:17] <bencahill> NooBoontoo: ^^ does it need to be run as root?
[18:17] <NooBoontoo> bencahill: I am running the program from terminal to have a debug output
[18:17] <bencahill> root, root, root?
[18:17] <NooBoontoo> bencahill: no, not even as normal user works
[18:17] <robbit10> bencahill: About !patience: When you have asked a question and about 10 minutes have passed, is it okay to ask again?
[18:18] <brack9> What's the name of the Ubuntu package with the complete set of Oxygen icons including the SVG sources?
[18:18] <bencahill> robbit10: not an op, but I would say if it's been 10 minutes, rephrase your question and you can ask again. don't ask more than two or three times in an hour, come back at a later time, or figure it out yourself. again, just my opinion though, don't know what the ops think :)
[18:18] <brack9> oxygen-icon-theme-complete seems to just have some of the 256x256 PNGs
[18:18] <Karen_m> how do you fix wifi for a 3945abg?
[18:18] <fission6> i am sshed into an ubunutu machine and when i connect i am immediatly attached to a screen session, when i do ctrl+a d to detach and get a prompt, my ssh session is closed, how can i ssh in and get a prompt
[18:20] <undecim> fission6: What prompt do you have in the screen session?
[18:20] <fission6> what do you mean prompt
[18:20] <NooBoontoo> Is there a way to reset a GPU?
[18:21] <undecim> fission6: Usually, screen will start your default shell
[18:21] <undecim> fission6: What do you see in the screen session?
[18:21] <NooBoontoo> thx anyway.....
[18:21] <fission6> right, echo $0 shows /bin/bash
[18:21] <fission6> undecim: ^
[18:21] <undecim> fission6: What's wrong with this prompt?
[18:22] <xiven> Has Canonical changed (customized, patched) Ubuntu much  at the networking & hosts level?
[18:22] <fission6> what do you mean? nothing, my pain is that when i do ctrl+a d to detach, i dont get a prompt i get my ssh session closed
[18:22] <zion_> i got error when im trying to mount my harddisk:Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13... anyone can help me with it????
[18:22] <dury> Zykotick9: just create my first video using pitivi :) great
[18:22] <fission6> i want to detach from screen when i login
[18:23] <undecim> fission6: You could try killing the screen session with "exit 1", which depending on the script behind the auto-started screen session, may drop you to the bash shell... but that's not a detachment.
[18:23] <fission6> well how can i see the script behind the screen session maybe that will let me know why i am getting booted
[18:23] <fission6> is that bashrc
[18:23] <undecim> fission6: Pastebin it?
[18:23] <undecim> fission6: And then I can have a look
[18:24] <fission6> which bashrc
[18:24] <undecim> depends... probably /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/bashrc.
[18:24] <undecim> fission6: Or /etc/profile, or ~/.bashrc, or /.bash_profile....
[18:25] <undecim> fission6: Just look at each of those for one that starts screen
[18:25] <fission6> right ok ill review thank you undecim
[18:26] <niklasfi> hi... i have a network problem. i can ping ip addresses on my network but i cannot reach the internet. http://pastebin.com/CXmaBa9E this is my interfaces file. What am i doing wrong?
[18:26] <fission6> undecim: none of them show screen
[18:26] <fission6> even did a grep on everything in ~
[18:27] <Raqn> Ok, I have just looked at the HDD and tried to mount it using Disk uyility, and its still saying "Permission Denied". I really need to get some files from this drive, anyone got any clues why its not working?
[18:27] <undecim> fission6: What is the output of "grep /etc/passwd $USER"?
[18:27] <ZykoticK9> dury, :)
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: add: nameserver 8.8.8.8  to /etc/resolv
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Oops
[18:27] <undecim> fission6: Or even "echo $SHELL"
[18:28] <fission6> its bin/bash
[18:28] <undecim> niklasfi: What is on Ip address 192.168.2.1?
[18:28] <fission6> btw this is sshing from a mac so the screen binding is ctrl+] d
[18:29] <niklasfi> undecim that is my router/adsl modem
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: add it to /etc/resolv.conf
[18:29] <undecim> fission6: see if you can find what is starting screen with "pstree | less"
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: does the web then work?
[18:30] <undecim> niklasfi: Follow ActionParsnip's advice with /etc/resolv
[18:30] <buggyer> hi, if i use phpldapadmin on the ldap server itself i cannot login. if i use phpldapadmin from a remote machine logging in works... do i have to config phpldapadmin on the server, i didnt conf anything on remote machine. except domain for sure.
[18:30] <niklasfi> ActionParsnip: changed /etc/resolv ... but the problem is not that dns does not work. even pinging the actual ip is not working
[18:31] <fission6> nothing shows up for that command undecim
[18:31] <ajwill> hi all, I have a problem: I use a program for my schooling called FirstClass, and I'm having a problem, I can save attachments and then open them, but when I attempt to just open them, it appears all the program does is save the file to my tmp folder for firstclass and then sits there, it doesnt open the file with OOo like it should... help?
[18:31] <undecim> fission6: Guess there is no pstree on this system then :/
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: bah
[18:31] <DdOo> Hello, is there a software to learn english in Ubuntu ?
[18:31] <DdOo> please
[18:32] <buggyer> DdOo: theres commercial java software, but i know them only for german -> english.
[18:32] <fission6> well this is odd
[18:32] <ezra-s> ajwill, sounds like the program has a bug, can you open other files of any type with ooo?
[18:32] <undecim> fission6: Did you exit the screen with "exit 1" yet?
[18:32] <fission6> no
[18:32] <fission6> what does that do
[18:32] <ajwill> ezra-s: yeah, ooo is working perfectly fine, I can open files save edit etc
[18:32] <buggyer> DdOo: http://www.sprachenlernen24.de/
[18:32] <DdOo> buggyer, I'm french, but what's the software ?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> Ddoo: there are educational games in the repos. Depends on the level
[18:33] <undecim> fission6: Exits with an error code. If you're lucky, that will drop you to the shell
[18:33] <undecim> fission6: unless the server is configured to go straight to screen
[18:33] <fission6> undecim: nope just dropped the session window
[18:33] <ezra-s> ajwill, I'd say the program you use has a bug and there is nothing wrong with your system by the sound of what you mention...
[18:33] <undecim> fission6: It may be an SSH configuration
[18:33] <DdOo> ActionParsnip, I need vocabulary :) and past grammar
[18:34] <fission6> that is likely
[18:34] <undecim> fission6: Can you view /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[18:34] <fission6> how can i check that
[18:34] <agentgasmask> I try to check the "checkbox" next to my caldav calendar in evolution and it just flashes for a milisecond. When I try to add an appointment and use the dropdown to select the caldav calendar, it says "Unable to open the calendar". Any help?
[18:34] <ajwill> ezra-s: okay, the thing is I've never had this specific problem before, and I even tried totally uninstalling the program and reinstalling it... still got nothing
[18:34] <undecim> niklasfi: Are you able to get internet access with other machines on the same network?
[18:35] <DdOo> buggyer, thanks, but yes, it's for german only :(
[18:35] <DdOo> ActionParsnip, which educational software please ?
[18:35] <fluitfries> does flash video streaming perform worse under ubuntu than under windows?  it seems choppy in a brand new ubuntu desktop install.  any tips?
[18:35] <fission6> i dont see anything in for screen in ssh config
[18:36] <niklasfi> undecim: i am currently on an ubuntu machine in that network however doing "cat /etc/networking/interfaces" just gives the loopback adapter... there must be something magical going on
[18:36] <undecim> niklasfi: If it's a default desktop install, then that is all handle by network-manager.
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Ddoo: not specifically sure, try searching software-centre
[18:36] <niklasfi> undecim: just an hour ago i had debian working on that machine with networking
[18:36] <niklasfi> undecim: well this new one is an arm board... no gui...
[18:37] <undecim> hmm...
[18:37] <buggyer> DdOo: http://freshmeat.net/projects/lingoteach/
[18:37] <undecim> can I get a pastebin of "service --status-all"?
[18:38] <fission6> may be i should ask in ssh undecim
[18:38] <undecim> niklasfi: Actually, now that I ask for the pastebin, I realize that's an unreasonable request, lol
[18:38] <undecim> fission6: go for it
[18:38] <DdOo> buggyer, thanks, I will test it
[18:38] <fission6> thanks for you rhelp

[18:39] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: could install wicd if there is an arm build, it has a curses gui for non X systems
[18:39] <undecim> niklasfi: Have you tried "sudo service networking restart"?
[18:40] <inashdeen> hi, anyone, curious. is there an offline monopoly like game for ubuntu?
[18:40] <niklasfi> undecim: no but i tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ;)
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> fluitfries: better video card. 8mb is low. I suggest you use minitube
[18:41] <Pici> inashdeen: gtkatlantic perhaps?
[18:41] <fluitfries> ActionParsnip: i will try to fit a video card into this box, but the case is so slim...  i will look at minitube, thanks
[18:41] <undecim> niklasfi: Same difference, I suppose :P... What interfaces do you see with "ifconfig -a"?
[18:41] <drt33838> inashdeen: http://kapitalist.sourceforge.net/

[18:43] <niklasfi> undecim: is there any way to determine wether i need to use usb1? on debian it was usb1
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> NooBoontoo: try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig ,then reboot
[18:43] <Raqn> Hey there. I have a problem with a External HDD. It mounts fine on this compiuter, but it won't mount on my PC, it says that it lacks the permissions to install them. This computer is running 10.10, and the one it wont mount on is 10.04. Anyone got any solutions?
[18:43] <undecim> niklasfi: Try it and see then.
[18:43] <niklasfi> linux without networking is such a pain... i can't even install vim and only have vi
[18:44] <undecim> niklasfi: lol
[18:44] <Owner> hi
[18:44] <undecim> Owner: Hello
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: you can use the install cd as an offline repo
[18:45] <inashdeen> btw, anyone knows any windows version of antivirus which run smoothly on wine in windows
[18:45] <inashdeen> sorry, wine i mean
[18:45] <undecim> inashdeen: Sorry... Any anti-virus software worth its hard-drive space would be doing operations too low-level for wine handle
[18:46] <hoko> there's an avs that runs natively, I don't see why you would use it though
[18:46] <hoko> I think clamAV maybe?
[18:46] <undecim> inashdeen: There is ClamAV you can use on Ubuntu though.
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen: why bother, there are native antivirus solutions in the repos
[18:46] <inashdeen> undecim: really? owh,thats bad. but how all the portable runs in windows?
[18:46] <niklasfi> undecim: and i don't have ssh which means that i am stuck with this serial port where the keyboard is all messed up, beacause i have a german keyboard. install cd is not so easy on a device that is that small that  a standard sd-card is too big for it... :D anyway if i set everything to usb1 i get:  * Reconfiguring network interfaces...        Ignoring unknown interface usb0=usb0.
[18:47] <inashdeen> actionParsnip: clamav doesnt seem to work right for me. i dont know, it just look deadf on my system
[18:47] <undecim> niklasfi: What interfaces do you see when you run "ifconfig -a"?
[18:48] <niklasfi> undecim: usb0, usb1 both set to 192.168.2.222 but usb1 has RX packets: 41... that sounds better
[18:48] <undecim> niklasfi: usb1 sounds a lot better... Are you able to ping after setting the interface to usb1?
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen: if you install clamtk you will get a gui you can scan with. Avg also has a linux port
[18:48] <niklasfi> no
[18:49] <niklasfi> undecim: i mean: yes! ... but no dns
[18:49] <SuperMoist> hello
[18:49] <undecim> niklasfi: Can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[18:49] <niklasfi> undecim: yes
[18:50] <undecim> niklasfi: Make sure "nameserver 8.8.8.8" is in your resolv
[18:50] <undecim> niklasfi: (That's Google's public DNS, btw)
[18:50] <undecim> niklasfi: Or maybe change it to your router's IP
[18:50] <drt33838> inashdeen: theres debs available too
[18:50] <undecim> niklasfi: Or better yet, add both
[18:50] <j_ayen_green> anyone use aptana 2 and git?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: echo huh... :-)
[18:50] <drt33838> inashdeen: u wanna play w/ me?
[18:51] <niklasfi> actionparsnip: that is what i just thought
[18:51] <milko> hi!
[18:51] <sidd_mak> What command should you use to check the number of files and disk space used and each user’s defined quotas?
[18:52] <NooBoontoo> ActionParsnip: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/chkzwujF
[18:52] <NooBoontoo> ActionParsnip: Can you see a problem there?
[18:52] <niklasfi> undecim: hey! i have a ping!
[18:52] <milko> how I can know where is the cd-rom dev? in System > Administration > Disk utility, it appears as /dev/sr0
[18:52] <_sh> I am having problems configuring sound. System > Preferences > Sound > Hardware shows up empty by /proc/asound/{card,devices} shows expected output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/555514/
[18:52] <milko> but I can't mount it
[18:53] <undecim> niklasfi: Cool... I have to go in a minute :P
[18:53] <niklasfi> undecim: now tell me (... after i installed ssh and vim) why my router's nameserver won't do
[18:53] <undecim> niklasfi: If your router has a built-in DNS server, it would do fine.
[18:53] <_sh> How do I reconfigure alsa ?
[18:53] <undecim> niklasfi: Or you could add your ISPs servers.
[18:53] <drt33838> sidd_mak: du checks disk usage
[18:53] <milko> sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom > umount: /dev/sr0: unknown device
[18:54] <undecim> niklasfi: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are publicly available DNS servers though, so that's what most people use when giving instructions
[18:54] <undecim> niklasfi: Anyways, I have to get going
[18:55] <niklasfi> undecim: thank you!
[18:55] <sidd_mak> drt33838 : i does n't shows for every user
[18:56] <sidd_mak> anyways i got the ans. it is repquota -a
[18:57] <drt33838> sidd_mak: ok
[18:57] <drt33838> sidd_mak: or u could try   du -sch /home/*
[18:58] <inashdeen> hi,everyone, not sure if anybody had this problem, but i cant connect to freenode using empathy. and im having this issue since  10.04
[18:59] <Sprechkaese> hello, i need detailed information to a problem caused my a hard drive, anyone here can help?
[18:59] <sidd_mak> drt33838 : thanx man
[18:59] <schnuffle> !ask Sprechkaese
[19:00] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: I can't help, but you will need to provide more details such as what kind of Hard drive problem.
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen: what happens when you try? Is it a known bug?
[19:00] <niklasfi> Sprechkaese: du kannst auch den chanell #ubuntu-de benutzen. dort kannst du deine Fragen auf deutsch stellen
[19:01] <Sprechkaese> I have a harddrive which seems to have a software problem. when i plug it in (via USB) is is listet at /dev/sdb1 (seen via "mount") but when I try to rescue data with ddrescue it can not be found
[19:01] <Sprechkaese> also e2fsck can not find it
[19:01] <inashdeen> ActionParsip: not sure, but i had been on freenode through the browser since 10.04. it is like, i registered on empathy, blah2, then it says this resource is already connected to the server
[19:02] <ayecee> Sprechkaese: what error does ddrescue give you?
[19:02] <Sprechkaese> ddrescue: cannot open input file: No such file or directory
[19:02] <Sprechkaese> mount gives: /dev/sdb1 on /media/5EDC593FDC59129F type fuseblk (rw)
[19:02] <mbeierl> dumb question: anyone know if there's a way to tell that date that the OS was installed on?
[19:02] <ayecee> Sprechkaese: does "ls /dev/sdb1" return anything?
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Sprechkaese: is it mounted when you usd dd_rescue?
[19:03] <inashdeen> owh yeah, not to forget the monopoly game + the antivirus.anyone?
[19:03] <Sprechkaese> when i plug it in, i can see the drive, for a short time and have no exit to it, afterwards it dissapeares and another one "is mounted", but there is no data on that "new" disc
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Ayecee: ls doesn't show files on raw block devices
[19:04] <ayecee> ActionParsnip: I'm asking if the dev node exists :P
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> !antivirus
[19:04] <drt33838> inashdeen: did u see my msg about debs being available for kapitalist
[19:04] <ayecee> Sprechkaese: does "ls /dev/sdb1" return anything?
[19:04] <smw> I have a custom install cd with a preseed file that says "oem-config      oem-config/steps        multiselect language, timezone, keyboard, user, network, tasks". Is there a way to ssh into a currently running server and emulate what it would do on boot?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Ayecee: makes sense
[19:05] <Sprechkaese> ayecee: yes, it says no such directory
[19:05] <deww> ayecee: hopped network? :)
[19:05] <ayecee> deww: too much idling, need more distraction :)
[19:06] <Sprechkaese> i tried to remount the drive, and that worked
[19:06] <trism> mbeierl: check out the files in /var/log/installer/, the timestamp in the syslog file there may give you a hint
[19:06] <Sprechkaese> but still there are no files on the drive
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Sprechkaese: the partition needs to be unmounted to use dd_rescue
[19:06] <deww> :)
[19:06] <ayecee> Sprechkaese: okay, so mount is giving wrong information. What has probably happened is that the device reset itself, but mount didn't pick up on it.
[19:06] <Sprechkaese> although i see that 164GB are used space via right click
[19:06] <ayecee> Sprechkaese: unmount it, remove it, reinsert it, maybe the files will show up.
[19:06] <Dcite> Sprechkaese and ayecee: maybe something like "ls /dev/sd*" and see what is returned? (please use pastebin)
[19:06] <mbeierl> trism: thanks
[19:07] <Sprechkaese> /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda5  /dev/sda6  /dev/sda7  /dev/sdc  /dev/sdc1
[19:07] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: Replaced any occurance of sdb1 with sdc1
[19:07] <Sprechkaese> no, sdc1 is my other hard drive
[19:07] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: Though why do you wish to try dd_rescue? Did you mess up the partition by accident?
[19:08] <Sprechkaese> friend brought it to me saying it does not work on windows anymore
[19:08] <ayecee> he may be right
[19:09] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: Eeep... Assumng the data is present..and just a bad partition 'testdisk' might help.
[19:09] <ayecee> Sprechkaese: is it possible to hook up the drive directly, rather than through usb?
[19:09] <Sprechkaese> tried that, cant find it either
[19:09] <Sprechkaese> its a SATA, hooked op via a sata/usb converter
[19:09] <Sprechkaese> converter works, tried it on another drive
[19:10] <ajwill> hi all I'm having a little problem, chmod -r doesnt seem to be working... am I using it wrong? I want to change the permissions of a folder and all contents, shouldnt I just be able to do: chmod a+rw -r folder ??
[19:10] <ayecee> Sprechkaese: could you hook it up directly via SATA? usb convertors don't handle failing drives very well.
[19:10] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: It's strange that it dissapears from /dev.. maybe he can look at the messages.log and look to see if there is a USB disconnect?
[19:10] <ajwill> with sudo of course
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Sprechkaese: if the data is needed, unmount all the drives partitions and use foremost to attempt a data recover on the raw drive
[19:10] <Sprechkaese> tried foremost too :D
[19:10] <metalfan___> hi
[19:10] <Sprechkaese> but i have to give foremost a device position, which i do not have :/
[19:10] <ayecee> usb converters often get dazed and confused by errors
[19:11] <Dcite> ajwill: try chmod -r ugo+rw filename     (this gives everyone read-write acess to filename)
[19:11] <metalfan___> how much trouble would it be to use a i386 server cd to install and later add all the software for a movie system (freevo) ?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Ajwill: for recursive chmod, its -R not -r
[19:11] <Dcite> ActionParsnip: I thought -R is for chown.
[19:12] <Dcite> ActionParsnip: Never mind, you were right.
[19:12] <ZenMasta> I just installed lamp and I can't get my default site to work here's my config file http://pastie.org/1474568
[19:12] <superlinux> There is some sound plug-in that is used to match the correct Sound Equalizer settings, and is named "Match EQ plug-in". I am listening to house music now, and I knew about the plug-in thru google. the music now does give  its correct identity. Well, is there a Linux equivalent plugin for any of the known Linux media players?
[19:13] <milamber> metalfan___: shouldn't be bad
[19:13] <inashdeen_> hi, not really doing anything illegal, just to learn,is there a good gui for wep hacking
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Dcite: the r is capitalized for most if not all afaik ;-)
[19:13] <metalfan___> milamber, thx
[19:13] <metalfan___> ActionParsnip, rm uses -r
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> metalfan: true true
[19:14] <drt33838> metalfan___: actually -R works too :P
[19:14] <metalfan___> drt33838, ah. didnt know that
[19:14] <schnuffle> ZenMasta: does it listen on port 80 after starting it?
[19:14] <metalfan___> milamber, whats the big difference between a server/desktop cd anyway?
[19:15] <Raqn> Ok, I now have a problem where ubuntu wont let me mount any USB drives whatsoever. Whats wrong with it because the USb drive is brand new and works on this computer, just not my other one
[19:15] <Sprechkaese> Dcite: where is that messages.log u mentioned before?
[19:15] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: /var/log/messages.log
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen_: i'd look into wireshark maybe. There are tonnes of guides for wep attacking
[19:15] <ZenMasta> schnuffle I dont get any erors when I reload apache and if you notice in the config I linked it, it mentions port 80
[19:15] <milamber> metalfan___: the default install. server makes it easy to install a lamp/other server type packages. no desktop.
[19:15] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: Err just /var/log/messages   no .log
[19:15] <Sprechkaese> Dcite: empty file...
[19:16] <Sprechkaese> k
[19:16] <Sir_Ragnarok> quick question: how do I see my external IP Adress? (All I can find is how to see my LAN IP adress)
[19:16] <ZenMasta> schnuffle: also, ports.conf has same ip/port and Listen 80
[19:16] <inashdeen_> ActionParsnip: wiresharh? how can i get it? air wep seems to fuzzy for me
[19:16] <milamber> Sir_Ragnarok: whatismyip.com
[19:16] <Dcite> Sir_Ragnarok: If behind NAT, sites like ipchicken or whatismyip tell you your IP.
[19:16] <drt33838> Sir_Ragnarok: ask ur router   or  http://www.whatismyip.com/
[19:16] <metalfan___> milamber, but isnt lamp/other server type   just another .apt packet?
[19:17] <Sprechkaese> Dcite: no such file...
[19:17] <Sir_Ragnarok> milamber, drt33838 not my own IP. The one of my server. I need the bash command
[19:17] <Dcite> Sir_Ragnarok: If you have the modem connected directly.. try connection information or ifconfig
[19:17] <ZenMasta> schnuffle: actually my ports.conf only shows *:80 could that be the problem?
[19:17] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: How about dmesg?
[19:17] <Sir_Ragnarok> I have this linux server, the only problems is that I don't have a clue how to work with it
[19:17] <inashdeen_> just a note for everyone, i'd tested and find out that clamwin run quite smooth ( and fast) in wine. so i believe it is a good alternative for those who wanna scan their files before sending to fellow windows user
[19:17] <milamber> metalfan___: correct. the desktop and server releases both use the same repositories. you can get a desktop on top of the server with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:17] <chewey> Hi. Weird thing: I use the keyboard layout switcher to switch between a UK and a DE layout. Everything works fine, except for the key right of the left shift. It always types \ and |. Any ideas?
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen_: you'll find guides with no effort. Also try aircrack-ng
[19:18] <metalfan___> milamber, thx
[19:18] <ajwill> okay so the problem from before still remains, I have a program called firstclass, and its supposed to save attachments in a folder called fcc.temp and delete them when it exits when you dont select to actually save the files, I tried changing user permissions for the folders and that did nothing... help?
[19:18] <schnuffle> ZenMasta: sudo netstat -tulpen shows you the ports
[19:18] <Sprechkaese> Dcite: scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access     WDC WD40 00YR-01PLB0      6A01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS
[19:18] <Sprechkaese>  <- this is where the drive is mounted the first time i think
[19:18] <chewey> using setxkbmap makes it type the right characters, but then the switcher stops working...
[19:19] <Sprechkaese> Dcite: then i get many error -71
 NAT??
[19:19] <Dcite> Sprechkaese: I can't answer those question, as I don't know where to start at the moment (and I'm somewhat pre-occupied)
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen_: clamtk will run cleaner and smoother and uses thd same virus defs. Why are you so determined to use wine for virus scanning?
[19:20] <milamber> Sir_Ragnarok: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-526176.html
[19:20] <KipMacy> sometimes i need to restart my computer after sleeping to connect to certain wireless networks, some i don't.  how can i fix that/
[19:20] <cdubya> is there a way graphically to encrypt a folder in gnome?
[19:21] <doug9> Hi.  I'm looking for specific how-to to change the resolution setting on a hard drive, while booting into that system from a 10.04 Live CD.  The problem is that the monitor in question has a max of 800X600.  I can not see a screen when booting from the hard drive but can see a screen when booting from the Live CD
[19:22] <angelo_2berto> satellite 1400?
[19:22] <angelo_2berto> notebook
[19:22] <guampa> cdubya: perhaps some gpg frontend
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> Kipmacy: make a script to remove the driver module, then reload it. You can then tell the OS to run the.script on wakeup and it will work
[19:22] <Sir_Ragnarok> milamber: thanks, more complicated then I expected but apparently this is what I was looking for. Also thanks to the otherpeople who tryed to helpt :) sidd_mak Dcite
[19:22] <cdubya> guampa, I'm reading about seahorse?
[19:22] <inashdeen_> ActionParsnip: clamtk got several issues with updates and scanning viruses. clamwin is no better in database, but it handles updates , and kind of windows file slightly better than clamtk. i want to find a better options since clamav database is not so good either.
[19:23] <milamber> Sir_Ragnarok: no problem. good luck. come back w/ any other issues :)
[19:23] <xangua> inashdeen_: there is avast
[19:23] <guampa> cdubya: seahorse is a key manager, it doesn't encrypt things on its own
[19:23] <cdubya> guampa, ok
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen_: there is a clamav ppa with newer engine and newer definitions
[19:24] <erebel55> could anyone help me revert back to firefox 2 ?
[19:24] <xangua> avast, avira, avg, one of those; the V confuses me, and it also has a live cd linux based
[19:24] <erebel55> I've tried a few links but nothing is working
[19:24] <erebel55> firefox still is telling me that it is 3.6.13
[19:24] <Wolfsherz> hello, when entering the ~ sign, i need to press space bar before it appears, where can i disable this, and make it appear immediately?
[19:24] <xangua> erebel55: http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php
[19:24] <inashdeen_> xangua: tried the avast version for linux. the big prob is, the engine fails afters sometimes. tried avg, i dont actually understand what happen, it just go dumb. avira. to techy, with the dazuko thing.
[19:25] <inashdeen_> ActionParsnip: still not satisfied with clamtk. u see, it is very weird, u run clamtk, ur freshclam gone, u run freshclam, it just goes weird
[19:25] <sidd_mak> inashdeen : antivirus linux
[19:25] <sidd_mak> ??
[19:25] <nze> what's a decent media player that can do upnp (using mediatomb as server)?
[19:25] <Maikl27_> Hi. Can I edit CONCURRENCY in /etc/init.d/rc from default value "none" to "shell" for faster boot?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: in which app? Hundreds of apps take keyboard input
[19:26] <ZenMasta> schnuffle: http://pastie.org/1474644
[19:26] <pupuserc1803c> hi
[19:26] <inashdeen_> sidd_mak: having an antivirus on linux is not an obligatory, but a responsibility if u are sending files to native windows user, + i am having windows 7 and occasionally i do run windows 7 when commercial doesnt support us. ;-)
[19:26] <milamber> nze: check into vlc
[19:27] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: actually everywhere, console, gnome, xchat...
[19:27] <YankDownUnder> Sending files/stuff from a linux box is insecure? Wow! Learn something new every day (not)
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen_: clamscan -r /folder/to/scan  its not that hard.
[19:27] <inashdeen_> anyway,looking for a good monopoly like game, either offline, or online with many people around
[19:27] <rui> hi people
[19:27] <ajwill> does anyone here have any experience with the firstclass client program that could help me out?

[19:28] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: found it already, what i need is deadgraceacute
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: sounds like an xorg issue. Do all keyboards do it?
[19:29] <haker> hallo
[19:29] <haker> Is who there ??
[19:29] <rui> can anyone help  me, can i have on ubuntu 10.10 the windows manager enlightment?
[19:29] <schnuffle> !ask | haker
[19:29] <xangua> rui: yes, you can
[19:29] <ZenMasta> schnuffle I see.. I don't remember stopping it. how it shows 0.0.0.0:80 Listen for apache
[19:29] <ZenMasta> schnuffle and bingo default site is working, much appreciated
[19:29] <rui> xangua:tahnk you how
[19:30] <xangua> rui: install it¿
[19:30] <erebel55> xangua: ok...the link you gave me, linked me to .exe files
[19:30] <doug9> dante: don't have one available.  am thinking that, somehow, I can make permanent writes to the h.d.?
[19:30] <inashdeen_> YankDownUnder: linux box, i am proud to say, is one of the most secure system on earth. the best i can tell. sadly, not every one runs linux like we do, and their system is not as solid as ours. linux is virus resistance, but not virus free, this is a fact,hence, virus( windows version in many case) can still penetrate and live dormantly in linux
[19:30] <rui> xangua: telll me how please
[19:30] <erebel55> I'm actually trying to install firefox 3.5 in ubuntu 10.10
[19:30] <ZenMasta> schnuffle: gosh I was almost about to pull my hair out. thanks again.
[19:30] <r3in> they should teach Ockham's razor in grade one or earlier
[19:30] <xangua> erebel55: it does¿¿ mmm try mozilla ftp then http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
[19:30] <xangua> rui: install it thru synaptic
[19:31] <YankDownUnder> inashdeen_, Um, you're preaching to the choir mate. Been using linux since 92, mate. I build linux servers for a living.
[19:31] <erebel55> xangua: thanks, i'll try that
[19:31] <rui> xangua:i try but im without finde it
[19:31] <inashdeen_> ActionParsnip: its a hassle if u r an average user my friend. i am looking for solutions, practical one to make ubuntu a better environment for average users,like me
[19:32] <inashdeen_> YankDownUnder: u asked.huhuhuh.anyway, i am proud to use a linux. go linux. can a build a good gui for clamtk though? would be a great thing
[19:32] <xangua> rui: sudo apt-get install e16
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> I
[19:32] <YankDownUnder> inashdeen_, Setup a script to scan wherever your files repose. Easiest, least troublesome resolution.
[19:32] <nze> milamber: anything other than vlc? i don't really dig the ui..
[19:32] <bencahill> Hey, can someone help me test a bug I think I found?
[19:32] <roadkill> I can't start mysql on ubuntu, it tells me "can't create test file in /var/lib/mysql/", but the folder is owned by mysql user and group. I already did a complete reinstall , but I still get the same error. Any ideas how to fix this?
[19:32] <inashdeen_> YankDownUnder: any clues on building A script? i am not a programmer. just an average user
[19:32] <rui> xangra:thank you
[19:33] <bencahill> !desktop
[19:33] <roadkill> it worked fine until I tried it today
[19:33] <inashdeen_> YankDownUnder: + like i said, hoping to find a good solution in promoting linux to my fellow windows friend
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> inashdeen_: i wouldn't say it was a hastle. I think you are confusing "hassle" with "using the keyboard"
[19:34] <asasas> can wget download pages as screenshots of the whole page?
[19:34] <bencahill> hey ActionParsnip are you running ubuntu right now?
[19:34] <milamber> nze: djmount is the only other one i have heard of working relatively easily. i'm not too familiar with it though: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780702
[19:35] <YankDownUnder> inashdeen_, Easy. As the "root" user, you can create a simple text file (like a batch file) that will scan for you - what you basically do is find all the commands/switches you want to use, put that into your "script", chmod +x your script, plonk it in the /usr/bin/ directory, and then setup a cron job so it's run at whatever time.
[19:35] <Yugnoswam> Hello. I am trying to install Windows 7 over Ubuntu but it does not boot from disc, you are supposed to install from the disc on the desktop, however I do not have this option?
[19:35] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: is bios set to boot from cd?
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: I'm on my Android phone so technically yes
[19:35] <inashdeen_> ActionParsnip: sorry to be harsh my friends, but many developer( linux i mean, in general), fails to understand that windows user, in general, are not used to the terminal, the type this and type that, and this and that happen. they just want buttons! a button to update,another to scan, another to tell them ,hey mate, u r secure
[19:35] <Yugnoswam> Yes. CD-ROM, Hard Disk, Internet, Removable
[19:35] <bencahill> inashdeen_: ah, already gone :(
[19:36] <nze> milamber: okay, thanks. a bit shocking though; i was sort of expecting all the major media players to be able to do it (even the media player on my [linux] mobile does it)
[19:36] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: then it doesn't boot from the disc?
[19:36] <inashdeen_> bancahill: gone?
[19:36] <Yugnoswam> No.
[19:36] <bencahill> inashdeen_: yes, at 1:35:31 PM cst
[19:36] <bencahill> !who | yugnoswam
[19:36] <Yugnoswam> I thought that but when I have read the 'bumf' it just says to install from desktop.
[19:36] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: the 'bumf'?
[19:36] <Yugnoswam> Sorry.
[19:37] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: np :)

[19:37] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: how did you install ubuntu on this, if it doesn't boot to cd?
[19:37] <doug9> Can permanent writes to a systems hard disk be done when booting into that system from a Live CD?
[19:38] <red> i think I pressed skip all and the end result was the folder disappearing completely

[19:41] <Loshki> doug9: yes, after booting the live cd, you can find and mount the hard drive partitions, and then read/write to them....
[19:41] <Yugnoswam> I'm on Ubuntu, it's not letting me install.
[19:41] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: get a cd drive that works, and/or ask in ##windows

[19:45] <bencahill> nze: yes, but a better choice of words could have been used, imho. don't worry about it, just be careful when posting :)
[19:45] <Da_Wrecka> SOMEGUY4: Go into your BIOS and make sure it's set to boot from the right drive. The BIOS may have rearranged things when you removed the other drive.
[19:46] <SOMEGUY4> i know, i did
[19:46] <SOMEGUY4> setted cd, then hdd
[19:46] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4: what i written on bios
[19:46] <Da_Wrecka> Does this system have multiple HDDs, or just one?
[19:46] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4: what is written on bios?
[19:47] <SOMEGUY4> what u mean
[19:47] <SOMEGUY4> the boot order ?
[19:47] <bencahill> SOMEGUY4: does the bios see the hdd?
[19:47] <SOMEGUY4> yes
[19:47] <SOMEGUY4> it does
[19:47] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4: i mean when u start your computer, with the hdd attached what does it says?
[19:47] <nze> whatever..
[19:47] <bencahill> SOMEGUY4: how do you know? does it say the size?
[19:47] <ct529> drt33838: is it the only wya to achieve it? I thought it would have been better to use other

[19:48] <depesz> hi. which package should I install to get normal gnome desktop from ubuntu installation without even xorg ?
[19:48] <SOMEGUY4> it says the name of the hdd
[19:48] <marcusant> Just curious
[19:48] <Pici> nze: I must not be awake enough.
[19:48] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4:  or the 3rd is maybe the pin is faulty due to change every now and then
[19:48] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4: ok, here is to thing that might happen, it is either u r having to master or the pin is not set correctly
[19:49] <bencahill> Pici: I was going to correct you, but thought better of it :D
[19:49] <SOMEGUY4> well
[19:49] <bencahill> depesz: I think gnome-desktop?
[19:49] <Da_Wrecka> SOMEGUY4: Is the hard drive reattached to the same cable and position as it was before you removed it?
[19:49] <ct529> drt33838: I was wondering whether there is a configuration file I can use to set up compilation options
[19:49] <SOMEGUY4> im using 80 wire cable
[19:49] <bencahill> depesz: on second thought, I don't think so...
[19:49] <depesz> N: Unable to locate package gnome-desktop
[19:49] <SOMEGUY4> conecting the last conector to hdd
[19:50] <ct529> drt33838: also, I would like to set up -march=native, profiling and -O3 for all compilations for all compilers of the gcc family
[19:50] <SOMEGUY4> and the pin its setted at right (aside the bus cable)
[19:50] <drt33838> ct529: i dont know sorry, but im sure it would be in the gcc man page
[19:51] <SOMEGUY4> i kept movin the pin in case
[19:51] <SOMEGUY4> but got worse
[19:51] <SOMEGUY4> now instead says: Error loadin operatin system
[19:51] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4: try to pull out and pin it back ( the pin), then make sure the cable is correct
[19:51] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4: well, the best,to keep it cool for sometimes
[19:51] <SOMEGUY4> and when i try to reinstall the operatin system... it fails, dont let me ...
[19:52] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4: then only try it again, my experience on desktops, cooling is the best medicine ;-)
[19:52] <SOMEGUY4> i have moved the pin a LOT
[19:52] <SOMEGUY4> really
[19:52] <SOMEGUY4> :(
[19:53] <inashdeen> SOMEGUY4: not sure if this works for everyone, but sometimes, computer, especially an old machine gets buggy of constant changing of hardwares. so try to let it cool for sometimes
[19:53] <SOMEGUY4> I should be deliverin the pc today
[19:53] <SOMEGUY4> im in trouble
[19:53] <SOMEGUY4> xD
[19:53] <ShootEmUp> Hi everyone
[19:53] <Da_Wrecka> If by 'pin' you mean the jumper for master/slave, the label on the drive itself should tell you where to put it for master configuration; You shouldn't need to move it around.
[19:54] <Ubuntuuser_mit_P> hi, i've got a little problem with my gnome on ubuntu 10.10...i've installed a few gtk themes, but they don't show up...well...they show up in the "appearence" menu, but not on the desktop itself...what am i doing wrong? it looks realy ugly xD
[19:54] <SOMEGUY4> ya it says

[20:06] <zlatan> hi...I instaled ubuntu-netbook through software center and try it...It is much slower then standard 10.10 adition and I have on 10.10 all compiz shit on and cairo-dock...is it really so slow or what??
[20:07] <inashdeen_> hi everyone
[20:07] <willystylee> when i use the UNetbootin program, i chose ubuntu as the distribution, but in the pulldown tab which 10.10 do i choose? ubuntu 10.10 server version isnt on there...
[20:07] <ayecee> willystylee: what are the available options?
[20:07] <coolpro189> Hello, is there any possibilies to use PC as a phone?
[20:07] <xangua> willystylee: if you already have the iso, tell it to use it
[20:07] <inashdeen_> zlatan: ubuntu-netbook is too buggy, the chance is, u find all ur deskmooding go haywire
[20:07] <ayecee> coolpro189: yes.
[20:07] <willystylee> theres live, hdmedia, and netinstall versions in both regular and 64 version
[20:08] <coolpro189> ayecee: i mean, like a landline phone?
[20:08] <xangua> coolpro189: buy a samsung galaxy tab, it uses android
[20:08] <zlatan> inashdeen_:okay :D
[20:08] <Romeo5k> helloo.. i messedd up my server and now i cannot axx my server from the putty or ftp with either user names.. I am however able to access it from an app the host  lets us use thru console.
[20:08] <ayecee> coolpro189: could probably do that with asterix
[20:08] <ki2011> gobbe: hey, i used to be able to run a desktop edition session but now even when i choose the session type at log-in i get access to a UNE session instead
[20:08] <ierty> and centos do you know how ? jrib thanks
[20:08] <Romeo5k>  how do i get my files from the server to my desktop
[20:08] <ayecee> willystylee: live or netinstall versions should work fine
[20:08] <jrib> ierty: I don't know, try their channel
[20:09] <ki2011> any idea why that might be?!
[20:09] <willystylee> @ayecee what are the differences?
[20:09] <ayecee> willystylee: not entirely sure.
[20:09] <willystylee> hmm
[20:09] <Romeo5k> helloo.. i messedd up my server and now i cannot axx my server from the putty or ftp with either user names.. I am however able to access it from an app the host  lets us use thru console. how do i get my files.. i can cd to em.. but like i need em
[20:10] <jrib> Romeo5k: why not give yourself ssh access again?
[20:10] <ayecee> Romeo5k: what is the app?
[20:10] <Romeo5k> console jrib and ayecee
[20:10] <ayecee> Romeo5k: what is console?
[20:10] <Romeo5k> jrib and ayecee its thru my broseer
[20:11] <ayecee> like, a regular terminal, like you'd see through ssh?
[20:11] <Romeo5k>  ayecee i have no idea but it looks just like putty
[20:11] <coolpro189> ayecee: So I just simply plug in my phone cable to the phone model on my pc, and make calls?
[20:11] <ayecee> Romeo5k: okay, that should allow you to fix your putty and ftp problems.
[20:12] <Romeo5k> ayecee what create another user??
[20:12] <ayecee> Romeo5k: sure, that'd be one way.
[20:12] <Romeo5k>  lemme try
[20:12] <ayecee> coolpro189: something like that. I don't think it's very easy to set up, but I haven't tried it myself.
[20:13] <ayecee> mostly because I haven't had a landline in years.

[20:20] <ki2011> hi all, i am using ubuntu netbook edition and i used to be able to start a desktop edition session at log-in. for some reason, that doesnt work any more and when i choose a desktop session i still get a netbook session instead. Can i get some help on this please?! thanks
[20:20] <dooglus> ra21vi: I'm using 11.04.  cat /etc/lsb-release says "DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04".  so I don't know what you're running
[20:20] <Stava> erUSUL, I assume "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub" means that they are version 2?
[20:20] <erUSUL> Stava: yes
[20:20] <Stava> erUSUL, thanks
[20:20] <undecim> ki2011: Try installing the ubuntu-desktop package
[20:21] <erUSUL> Stava: np
[20:21] <ki2011> undecim: do i get that from the Software Center?
[20:21] <undecim> ki2011: Then you should have an option like "Ubuntu Desktop" or "Gnome" or something similar
[20:21] <Stava> erUSUL, do you know what happens if i connect a usb 3 device to a usb 2 port? Will it work but at reduced speed (limit of usb2)?
[20:21] <undecim> ki2011: Yes
[20:21] <undecim> ki2011: Or synaptic package manager, or by typing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" in a terminal
[20:22] <ki2011> undecim: alright, i'll try that. but i do have the option right now!
[20:22] <erUSUL> Stava: if the connectors are phisically compatible i spect so; but can't be sure
[20:22] <undecim> ki2011: What is the option called?
[20:22] <Stava> alright
[20:23] <ki2011> undecim: Ubuntu Desktop Session
[20:23] <Gaming4JC> Anyone know of a good/cheap VPS that supports ubuntu? :P
[20:23] <undecim> ki2011: Try installing the Ubuntu-desktop package and try the option again
[20:23] <Gaming4JC> I found one but not sure if it's a scam or something... o_O
[20:23] <undecim> Gaming4JC: Define "cheap"
[20:24] <Gaming4JC> undecim: VforVPS (0.99 first month and $4.99 afterwords)?
[20:24] <Gaming4JC> idk that's legit though xD
[20:24] <ki2011> undecim: alright, thanks!
[20:24] <undecim> Gaming4JC: And by "supports Ubuntu" You mean you want it to run Ubuntu Server?
[20:24] <Gaming4JC> undecim: yepyep
[20:24] <undecim> Gaming4JC: Any descent VPS is going to be at least $30/month
[20:25] <undecim> Gaming4JC: All the cheap guys oversell their server space, and your VPS constantly runs out of resources
[20:25] <Gaming4JC> undecim: Well, it's the basic plan? ah... yeah you might be right
[20:25] <shoutpc> i just installed proftpd and am trying to find the conf file ... i dont think installed it ... what can i do ?
[20:25] <undecim> Gaming4JC: Some of the more expensive guys do it as well, but far less often.
[20:25] <shoutpc> i just installed proftpd and am trying to find the conf file ... i dont think installed it ... what can i do ?
[20:26] <nilon_> is there a jolicloud channel anywhere?
[20:26] <accipter> I modify my trackpoint behavior using udev rules, but after waking from hibernate the rules are no longer present. Do I need to do something special?
[20:26] <Gaming4JC> undecim: But still if you're tight on a buck do you think that site might be reputable? :/
[20:26] <undecim> Gaming4JC: What kind of price range are you looking for?
[20:26] <Pici> !ot
[20:26] <aeon-ltd> nilon_: #jolicloud apparabtky is
[20:26] <Gaming4JC> undecim: Really cheap, lol. xP
[20:27] <undecim> Gaming4JC: Just do some research on it first
[20:27] <aeon-ltd> nilon_: *apparantly
[20:27] <nilon_> oh! good
[20:27] <nilon_> I'll try that, thanks
[20:27] <nilon_> at freenode?
[20:27] <Raqn> Ok, I have just looked at the HDD and tried to mount it using Disk uyility, and its still saying "Permission Denied". I really need to get some files from this drive, anyone got any clues why its not working? It is the same for any USb storage device
[20:27] <undecim> Gaming4JC: Google search for "[VPS Provide] sucks", "[VPS Provider] is a scam", etc and see what other people are saying they have problems with
[20:27] <drt33838> shoutpc: /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf   ??
[20:27] <Gaming4JC> undecim: Well, it traces back to http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/FDCservers.net which seems legit, but McAffee has a fit http://www.trustedsource.org/query/67.159.28.222
[20:27] <aeon-ltd> nilon_: yes
[20:27] <Raqn> I can't mount any USB storage =/
[20:28] <Gaming4JC> undecim: It's a bit too new, unless I search via the parent company... which is a good idea thanks :)
[20:28] <shoutpc> drt33838, there is no conf file ... i didnt see one
[20:28] <mbeierl> Gaming4JC: I like their support line: "At the moment, we do not have any refund policy that means you cannot have your money back, but if you find any issue feel free to contact us round the clock and our staff will be pleased to entertain you with the best they could! "
[20:28] <undecim> Gaming4JC: That reputation MAY have been caused by people abusing their VPSs....
[20:28] <mbeierl> Gaming4JC: that's from the VforVPS website
[20:29] <Gaming4JC> mbeierl: that is a little lacking... :/
[20:29] <drt33838> shoutpc: i dunno, try reinstall?  sudo apt-get install --reinstall proftpd
[20:29] <Pici> Can we please try to stay on-topic here?  Finding a good VPS isn't really within the scope of this channel.
[20:30] <drt33838> shoutpc: at least i just installed it and its there
[20:30] <undecim> Gaming4JC: Is there any reason you need a VPS rather than a plain 'ol shared hosting plan?
[20:30] <Gaming4JC> undecim: To run a small private minecraft server, yes.
[20:31] <shoutpc> drt33838,  no conf file and i reinstalled
[20:31] <undecim> Gaming4JC: If you have the hardware, you could setup the server on your own network.
[20:32] <Gaming4JC> undecim: True, but I don't leave my computer on all the time, waste too much electricity :s
[20:32] <Gaming4JC> not to mention my connection stinks
[20:32] <Gaming4JC> lol
[20:32] <undecim> Gaming4JC: understandable
[20:32] <drt33838> shoutpc: check the FILES section in the man page ?
[20:32] <undecim> Gaming4JC: There are service that offer private game servers. Surely one will offer a cheap private minecraft server
[20:32] <shoutpc> drt33838, how do i do that ?
[20:33] <Gaming4JC> undecim: hmm perhaps... *googles*
[20:33] <Gaming4JC> needs to support MCLawl :D
[20:34] <undecim> Gaming4JC: Or even find a buddy that has his own server or VPS and see if he'll let you run the minecraft server on it.
[20:34] <drt33838> shoutpc: man proftpd
[20:35] <Gaming4JC> undecim: Yeah my buddy was paying $75 monthly and told me to help him find a better VPS... lol
[20:35] <undecim> Gaming4JC: lol
[20:35] <Gaming4JC> undecim: Plus it had downtime, total rip-off
[20:35] <Gaming4JC> :s
[20:35] <endrien> Hello, I just installed drivers for WUSB600n v2 on ubuntu 32bit 10.10 and I can see my router, but not connect. Can anyone help?
[20:36] <undecim> Gaming4JC: I know of a good VPS for $30/month
[20:36] <bencahill> hey guys, how is the 'show desktop' button supposed to work?
[20:36] <Pici> Gaming4JC, undecim: As I mentioned before, this isn't really within the scope of this channel.  You can try #ubuntu-offtopic for opinions.
[20:36] <mbrigdan> So, I have a problem. I'm trying to migrate to an encrypted home directory, and I've almost succeeded, but it doesn't always auto-mount when I login, which causes problems. Anyone know what I can do.
[20:36] <undecim> Pici: kk, sorry :P
[20:37] <aeon-ltd> bencahill: click it
[20:37] <Gaming4JC> Pici: Ok, heading over to off-topic... :]
[20:37] <bencahill> aeon-ltd: are you running ubuntu right now?
[20:38] <aeon-ltd> bencahill: no
[20:39] <shoutpc> drt33838, didnt help me at all ... how do i make a conf file or remake it
[20:39] <drt33838> shoutpc: dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/proftpd*  | grep conf
[20:39] <bencahill> aeon-ltd: ok, because I think I've found a bug with it
[20:39] <aeon-ltd> bencahill: describe it, ask someone here to test it aswell
[20:39] <drt33838> shoutpc: i have  a line like  rw-r--r-- root/root      4731 2009-12-22 10:58 ./usr/share/proftpd/templates/proftpd.conf
[20:39] <drt33838> shoutpc: do you?
[20:40] <magn3ts_> dockbarx is broken: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555540/ Can anyone help me with it's zeitgesit/dbus error?
[20:40] <magn3ts_> thanks
[20:40] <shoutpc> dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/proftpd*  | grep conf
[20:41] <shoutpc> drt33838, rw-r--r-- root/root      4833 2010-11-18 04:48 ./usr/share/proftpd/templates/proftpd.conf
[20:41] <shoutpc> drt33838, looks like the documetation is wrong ... said it was in /etc/proftpd.conf
[20:41] <stanman246> hi i've got a hd camera which create .mov movies. Viewing them on my ubu 10.04 lts is very choppy, in both vlc and totem. What could i do to get it smooth?
[20:42] <drt33838> shoutpc: yh, well i have a conf file where it should be as well. i would guess u just need to copy that template to /etc/proftpd/ and it shud work
[20:42] <shoutpc> drt33838, ok
[20:42] <gboy> marramodou@yahoo.com
[20:43] <bencahill> aeon-ltd: ok, so you start with no windows open...then open two (let's say terminal) windows...then click the 'show desktop' button (or press mod4 + d), they both minimize. Then if you restore one window by click on it on the bottom panel, and click 'show desktop' or mod4+d, the other window re-appears. I do not believe this is the intended behavior. I would think that whenever there are any windows open, the show desktop function should show the desk
[20:43] <bencahill> top
[20:43] <ki2011> undecim: hey, i downloaded the package, restarted and logged in using a desktop session, still not working. any thoughts?
[20:43] <shoutpc> drt33838, what was the command to copy the file
[20:44] <undecim> ki2011: Do you have an option for "Gnome"
[20:44] <ki2011> nope
[20:44] <bencahill> aeon-ltd: if not all windows are open, but the 'show desktop' function was last used to restore windows, it works as expected
[20:44] <undecim> ki2011: Odd.
[20:44] <bencahill> aeon-ltd: I tried earlier, but no takers :(
[20:44] <ki2011> i know!
[20:44] <bencahill> can anyone test a ubuntu bug for me?
[20:45] <ki2011> undecim: thing is, i used to be able to run a desktop session. not anymore though!
[20:45] <aeon-ltd> bencahill: then report it, but if you can set its urgency to low
[20:45] <Vbitz> what is a render error
[20:45] <undecim> ki2011: Yeah, that's odd.
[20:46] <shezzophrenik> help please. i need russian chatroom
[20:46] <undecim> ki2011: What options do you have?
[20:46] <bencahill> aeon-ltd: okay, but I want to test it (or have someone else) test it on another, just to make sure it's not just me :)
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> bencahill: ok
[20:46] <bencahill> !bugs
[20:46] <ki2011> undecim: i have a config console, desktop edition, desktop edition safe mode and netbook edition
[20:47] <mbrigdan> So, I have a problem. I'm trying to migrate to an encrypted home directory, and I've almost succeeded, but it doesn't always auto-mount when I login, which causes problems. Anyone know what I can do?
[20:47] <LincKraker> trying to get some help with apache2 and mod_proxy. when i load a page its not finding the pictures/js/etc because its looking in /var/www/ and thats not where the files are.
[20:47] <aeon-ltd> mbrigdan: is it in fstab?
[20:48] <mbrigdan> aeon-ltd, Its not supposed to be, in theory it should mount when I log in.
[20:48] <undecim> mbrigdan: What have you done thus far in order to migrate to an encrypted home directory?
[20:49] <bencahill> mbrigdan: this makes no sense... :-/
[20:49] <mbrigdan> undecim, This, pretty much: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/06/migrating-to-encrypted-home-directory.html
[20:49] <mbrigdan> bencahill, What doesn't make sense?
[20:50] <undecim> mbrigdan: Okay, that howto is needlessly complex and looks like it will be problematic...
[20:50] <undecim> mbrigdan: There is a much easier way to migrate over...
[20:50] <mbrigdan> undecim, Well, I followed it without too many problems
[20:50] <bencahill> mbrigdan: see undecim ^^
[20:51] <undecim> mbrigdan: Usually, all you need to do is go into recovery mode and rune "ecryptfs-migrate-home -u username" where username is your username
[20:51] <Yugnoswam> Hello, I'm back. #Windows could not sort my problem.
[20:51] <mbrigdan> undecim, I tried that, and it didn't work. I sort-of had this problem when it was just a private directory too, it often didn't automatically mount when I logged in.
[20:51] <undecim> mbrigdan: Though it is highly recommended that you make a backup of your data before doing so
[20:52] <undecim> mbrigdan: What happened that the migration script didn't work?
[20:53] <Yugnoswam> How can I get my windows 7 installation to work off my desktop/my computer? It says to do that rather than boot from it which it does not do anyway. Yes my bios is set to CD first.
[20:53] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: what is 'it'?
[20:54] <mbrigdan> undecim, It said that my home was already encrypted. (I am EXTREMELY sure it wasn't, given that there was no mounted ecryptfs under mount, I could access me files when I logged in as root, etc.) Thats irrelevant now though, because my problem is that it won't auto-mount.
[20:54] <rtdos> how do i install the kde desktop without all the extras of kubuntu?
[20:54] <ki2011> undecim: i have a config console, desktop edition, desktop edition safe mode and netbook edition
[20:54] <aeon-ltd> rtdos: look for 'kde-core'
[20:55] <undecim> mbrigdan: Okay, let me read through that howto you linked so I can see what state your home folder is in...
[20:55] <Lachance> aeon-ltd, isn't kde-core a metapackage that includes all of the Kubuntu stuff?
[20:55] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: Installation notes that came with the disc. I've never installed off desktop apart from when running a secondary OS but this says it is for a full install
[20:55] <aeon-ltd> Lachance: yes but not as much as kubuntu-desktop
[20:55] <rtdos> aeon-ltd: is that basically the same thing for xfce, lxde, and other desktops?
[20:56] <aeon-ltd> rtdos: how do you mean?
[20:56] <undecim> mbrigdan: You have automatic login disabled, correct?
[20:56] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: ignore the instructions, as they do not apply to you in any shape, form, or factor :)
[20:56] <mbrigdan> undecim, That's correct
[20:56] <rtdos> aeon-ltd: is xfce4 desktop available without all the xubuntu extras?
[20:56] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: you cannot install windows from inside linux onto the disc linux is running on, by any stretch of the imagination :O
[20:56] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: well I have tried booting but it just went past it.
[20:56] <undecim> and /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecryptfs/auto-mount exist, correct?
[20:57] <kwtm> rtdos: Hi. I think you would say 'sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop'
[20:57] <DShepherd> anyone can tell me what program i can use to burn and avi to a dvd so that it plays in a dvd player?
[20:57] <aeon-ltd> rtdos: no idea, seach around in synaptics, though imo if you want 'light' then don't use DEs :)
[20:57] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: linux isnt running on a disc?
[20:57] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: You say this is a computer you bought? what model?
[20:57] <undecim> DShepherd: Try devede
[20:57] <kwtm> DShepherd: I would use "K3b" but you might use "brasero", I think.
[20:57] <jrib> DShepherd: devede
[20:57] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: sorry, disc = hdd
[20:57] <somaunn> DShepherd, use brasero for that
[20:57] <kwtm> undecim: Oh, does GNOME Ubuntu not use brasero any more?
[20:57] <Yugnoswam> disk = hdd? disc = CD/DVD etc
[20:57] <somaunn> DShepherd, burn it as a file
[20:57] <undecim> DShepherd: He wants to burn a DVD
[20:57] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: it's just the pc I have had forever
[20:58] <undecim> DShepherd: I don't think Brasero will convert an AVI to a DVD
[20:58] <guntbert> Yugnoswam: not sure if this applies to your problem: http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony
[20:58] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: no, I'm saying above ^^ when I said disc, I meant hdd, you're correct, I should have used disk or hdd :)
[20:58] <kwtm> Yugnoswam: That's how a lot of people use disk/disc but there is no official correct difference between the two.
[20:58] <DShepherd> undecim, ok...
[20:58] <DShepherd> somaunn, would burn it so that it plays in a dvd player?
[20:58] <Yugnoswam> guntbert: I am running ubuntu and another version of windows 7 as a virtual disk already
[20:58] <bencahill> kwtm: meh, I agree with him, I just messed up above :)
[20:58] <undecim> DShepherd: oops, wrong person... mean those last two messages for kwtm
[20:58] <DShepherd> undecim, devede you say?
[20:58] <bencahill> lol :)
[20:58] <undecim> DShepherd: Aye. You should be able to install that from the software center.
[20:59] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: k. well when you do it off your desktop you can choose clean install which formats your hdd as if you booted off the disc.
[20:59] <kwtm> undecim: Oh, okay. I admit I use KDE programs a lot more.
[20:59] <DShepherd> kwtm, k3b is an kde app right?
[20:59] <kwtm> DShepherd: Yes, it is KDE.
[20:59] <Yugnoswam> kwtm: with a K is your HDD, with a C is a CD/DVD/Blu-ray etc
[20:59] <somaunn> DShepherd, if your dvd player supports mp4 and/or Divx then you can do it like that
[20:59] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: what in the **** are you talking about? what do you mean by "off your desktop"?
[20:59] <undecim> DShepherd: It will convert the video to DVD format, let you setup menus if you want, etc.
[21:00] <kwtm> Yugnoswam: Are you telling me or are you asking?  If you are asking, my answer is above.  If you are telling me, then I would respectfully say that what you say doesn't apply all the time, and leave it at that.
[21:01] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: You put the disc in, it is supposed to bring the installation up, then you can choose upgrade (vista and above) or clean install. if you chose clean then it formats your hdd then installs as if you had booted from the disc origionally.
[21:01] <Yugnoswam> kwtm: ok, sorry.
[21:01] <bencahill> kwtm: see this page for common and accepted usages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_of_disc
[21:01] <Yugnoswam> kwtm: I did not mean to offend you in any way, shape or form. My apologies.
[21:01] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: lol ;)
[21:02] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: I am right with the disc/disk thing right?! XD
[21:02] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: according to me and wikipedia, yes. I have not done much or any actual study on the matter.
[21:03] <bencahill> s/me and wikipedia/wikipedia and I/ :)
[21:03] <bencahill> ^^ meh, forget that :(
[21:03] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: I've had this conversation before and it's always been that way. so we and wiki are right I think.
[21:04] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: probably :), but it doesn't really matter, and is ot...back to your problem :)
[21:04] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: when you say 'You put the disc in', do you mean boot to it?
[21:04] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: but back to the problem at hand. Would I need to partition beforehand? I've tried that before and being on windows, it didn't realise the PSU wasn't big enough and broke because it didn't have sufficient power so I don't do partitioning myself.
[21:04] <miidi> Hello, Is there any software i can use to show my desktop while on webcam?
[21:05] <mbrigdan> undecim, Oh sorry, I didn't see your second question. Yes, ut does exist
[21:05] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: no, I mean when you have booted you pc up, you can but the disc in and then the installation appears. Your actually on your OS.
[21:05] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: psu didn't break because of partitioning, probably something unrelated :) No, you don't need to partition before-hand
[21:05] <undecim> mbrigdan: Okay, make sure some folders are properly symlinked....
[21:05] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: and where do you read this?
[21:06] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: in the documents (bumf) that came with win7ult
[21:06] <ki2011> undecim: i tried re-installing the desktop package, i got a "package already installed" message.
[21:06] <undecim> mbrigdan: ~/.ecryptfs -> /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecrypts
[21:06] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: It was the PSU because my screen dimmed then powered off with a loud *beep*
[21:07] <Vbitz> what is a render error?
[21:07] <undecim> mbrigdan: /home/.ecryptfs/user/.Private/.ecryptfs -> /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecryptfs
[21:07] <___flazzid> can anyone tell me why when i try to useubuntu software center to get apps it says " waiting for apt-get to exit " yet it never exits
[21:07] <Wicked> anyone know if there is something special that needs to be done to mount a samba share from ubuntu on windows 7?
[21:07] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: I don't know what it's saying, but you cannot format/partition an hdd you are running from. :-/
[21:07] <Wicked> i can mount the share fine from linux to linux...but im unable to mount it when in windows7
[21:07] <undecim> mbrigdan: and ~/.ecryptfs should also link when the folder is not mounted
[21:07] <miidi> any recommended webcam app to stream desktop while in video conversation
[21:08] <Allen1> i want to use ubuntu 10.10 instead of my 10.04... however is that a good choice?... is ubuntu 10.10 buggy???
[21:08] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: I'm saying that partitioning the hard drive would not have caused the psu to fail directly
[21:08] <Yugnoswam> bencahill: its a small psu n didn't have enough power or something. [private]
[21:08] <undecim> Allen1: Any reason in particular you want to switch?
[21:08] <Allen1> well...
[21:08] <bencahill> Yugnoswam: ok, whatever, back to the problem...
[21:09] <Allen1> my ubuntu 10.04 acting slow and i had to do alot of stuff to get the wireless to work
[21:09] <mbrigdan> undecim, Hmm, that may have been the problem, let me logout/in and see if it works
[21:09] <Allen1> now i want to c if 10.10 would jus work stright
[21:09] <Allen1> *straight
[21:09] <undecim> Allen1: Try a Live CD of 10.10
[21:09] <undecim> Allen1: That should give you an idea of how it will work for you
[21:10] <Allen1> k
[21:10] <Allen1> but overall

[21:10] <Allen1> do u kno if it is buggy?
[21:10] <rtdos> thanks kwtm and aeon-ltd
[21:10] <MilitantPotato> Allen1: no issues here
[21:11] <undecim> Allen1: It all depends on your computer. Sometimes it works better, sometimes it works worse
[21:11] <undecim> Allen1: All you can do is give the Live CD a go.
[21:11] <Allen1> o!
[21:11] <Allen1> thanks
[21:11] <undecim> Allen1: On my Asus, I've had 0 issues
[21:11] <Allen1> anyone of u had any serious issues with 10.10
[21:11] <Allen1> ???
[21:12] <JackyAlcine> Alien1?
[21:12] <JackyAlcine> describe your question
[21:12] <SDr> hey guys
[21:12] <ki2011> Allen1: working like a charm here
[21:12] <stanman246> hi, why do .mov movies playback in slowmotion?
[21:12] <SDr> is there any way t ohide [process]es from top / ps / etc? really don't care about drivers when eyeballing resources
[21:12] <mbeierl> stanman246: not enough cpu?
[21:12] <JackyAlcine> stanman246: It's probably your CPU speed. and depends on your client at times.
[21:12] <___flazzid> Allen1 define serious cause right now when i try to use the ubuntu software center  it says waiting for apt-get to close and have been dealing with same issue for 3 days
[21:12] <ACameron> Hello, #Ubuntu.  I'm getting an error in GRUB which might have something to do with the fact that I recently added a new partition to my boot device in the pre-existing blank space.
[21:13] <JackyAlcine> ACameron: can't boot?
[21:13] <ACameron> JackyAlcine: That's correct.  "mount: mounting [stuff] \n failed: Invalid argument"
[21:13] <dodgy_script> stanman246,  covert it to 720p or less work better
[21:13] <ACameron> JackyAlcine: "mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory".  Repeat with s/dev/sys
[21:13] <undecim> ACameron: Lemme guess... GRUB can't find the linux file?
[21:13] <JackyAlcine> Anyway for you to get the exact dump on screen? That's needed.
[21:14] <MrUnagi> how can i tell where a disk is mounted?
[21:14] <erUSUL> MrUnagi: cat /proc/mounts
[21:14] <ACameron> JackyAlcine: I'm not sure.  It's saying "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init", though.
[21:14] <JackyAlcine> ACameron: Why is it trying to mount to /root/dev?
[21:14] <stanman246> dodgy_script, any idea what software to use for that? And how to check if it's 1080 or 720p?
[21:14] <JackyAlcine> ACameron: Wow, your system sounds like it's all over the place.
[21:15] <ACameron> JackyAlcine: I can type it out to a pastebin if you like, but I can't very well copy/paste it.
[21:15] <ki2011> undecim: could it possibly be because i have mutter installed and running?!!
[21:15] <SDr> is there any way to hide [process]es from top / ps / etc? really don't care about drivers when eyeballing resource usage
[21:15] <undecim> ACameron: Sounds like you need to change the root option on the linux line
[21:15] <ACameron> JackyAlcine: I can also tell you the GRUB menu entry I'm trying to boot.
[21:15] <undecim> ACameron: Can you get to the grub menu?
[21:15] <undecim> ki2011: mutter?
[21:15] <ACameron> undecim: Yes, 1 sec...
[21:15] <JackyAlcine> ACameron: That'd be helpful.
[21:15] <brontoeee> stanman246, mediainfo, ffmpeg, mplayer
[21:15] <brontoeee> stanman246, mediainfo is my favorite
[21:15] <JackyAlcine> ACameron: Also, can you pastebin your GRUB config files?
[21:15] <ki2011> undecim: it locks my visual preferences for optimal performance
[21:15] <dodgy_script> stanman246,  i would use mplayer to check and play them . also ffmpeg is great
[21:16] <ACameron> JackyAlcine: Not easily.
[21:16] <undecim> ki2011: That I think might be causing the problem.
[21:16] <ACameron> undecim: JackyAlcine: I'm in GRUB now (GRUB 1, FYI).  Let me pastebin the menu entry I'm trying to boot...
[21:16] <undecim> ACameron: highlight the Ubuntu option and press E
[21:16] <ki2011> undecim: so how do i get to unistall the package then?!
[21:16] <undecim> ACameron: Find the part that says "root="
[21:17] <dodgy_script> stanman246,   ffmpeg for conversion
[21:17] <undecim> ACameron: GRUB 1? You mean 1.9something or 0.9something?
[21:17] <stanman246> mplayer locks after a few frames...
[21:18] <ACameron> undecim: I'm not sure, but I use /boot/menu.lst instead of /boot/grub.cfg, or whatever.
[21:18] <ACameron> undecim: Here is my menu entry: http://pastebin.com/4umyq7gV
[21:20] <MrUnagi> is there an lsusb for sata
[21:20] <undecim> ACameron: You might have to follow these directions to fix it: http://blog.undecim.org/2010/05/fix-boot-problems-with-a-live-cd-and-chroot/
[21:20] <xisco_> how can I know the usb device my pen drive is conneted to ?
[21:20] <erUSUL> xisco_: do « tailf /var/log/messages » and plug the usb
[21:21] <brontoeee> stanman246, ffmpeg -i file.mov should give you some info
[21:21] <erUSUL> MrUnagi: what do you want to know?
[21:21] <MrUnagi> fdisk did it thanks erUSUL
[21:21] <drpi> I'm having problems mounting my dvd drive
[21:21] <ACameron> undecim: I don't have easy access to a LiveCD at the moment.  Is there anything else I could do before resorting to that?
[21:21] <drpi> getting a "mount sr0 unknown device" error
[21:21] <slide> Does anyone know how to override a DNS entry for my local computer only? I've added an entry in /etc/hosts but its not using it
[21:22] <ayecee> slide: what's not using it? how are you testing?
[21:22] <Dewclaw> anyone in the mood to take down a forum? DoS?
[21:22] <brontoeee> slide, that should work
[21:22] <ki2011> does anyone know how i could disable mutter in UNE 10.10
[21:22] <ki2011> ?
[21:22] <daniel__> hola a todos
[21:22] <jrib> Dewclaw: that's not appropriate for this channel
[21:22] <undecim> ACameron: You appear to have modified the UUID of the partition somehow...
[21:22] <Dewclaw> that was a joke of course
[21:22] <drpi> anyone know what I should do? I tried looking around and nothing worked for me :(
[21:22] <undecim> ACameron: Either that, or broken something else worse...
[21:22] <slide> ayecee, chrome still uses the old IP (this is for my webhost ips switching)
[21:22] <linxeh> slide: I'm guessing you got the entry wrong, or are testing it wrong, or havent restarted your apps
[21:23] <slide> hrm
[21:23] <Allen1> People:
[21:23] <Allen1> Whats the easiest way to install windows on a partition AFTER installing ubuntu already???
[21:23] <linxeh> slide: does chrome do dns precaching from googles servers ?
[21:23] <undecim> ACameron: Which partition is your /?
[21:23] <linxeh> slide: or is it from your local resolver ?
[21:23] <undecim> Allen1: Use GParted from a live CD to make a partition for windows, install windows to that partition, the reinstall Grub with the live CD again.
[21:24] <ACameron> undecim: It's the second partition on the drive, I think... I booted into Windows to check, but Win has no idea about ext partitions
[21:24] <slide> oh i had to add an entry for the www to
[21:24]  * slide slaps himself with a large trout
[21:24] <undecim> ACameron: Alright, try replacing root=UUID=d103f61a-3f34-4040-a0a1-b05ee8563f8b with root=/dev/sda2
[21:24] <Vbitz> what is a render error, when my hp mini 211 woke from hybernation it showed a render error and 4 other lines of hex and other stuff?
[21:24] <linxeh> slide: cool :)
[21:24] <ACameron> undecim: Should I also get rid of the first line (uuid [identifier]) ?
[21:25] <undecim> ACameron: what first line?
[21:25] <undecim> ACameron: Oh I see
[21:25] <undecim> ACameron: Actually, that should work fine... Grub is already passing control to the kernel, so that shouldn't be a problem
[21:25] <drpi> anyone help please?
[21:25] <mbrigdan> undecim, Tried fixing it, it still doesn't work. I pretty sure this was happening to me with my encrypted directory before I migrated too, so it could be some strange configuration quirk
[21:26] <ACameron> undecim: OK, I changed the root as instructed, but still get "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg."
[21:26] <aeon-ltd> !help | drpi
[21:26] <undecim> ACameron: Okay, try again, but with sda1 instead of sda2
[21:27] <mbeierl> drpi: have you looked to see if there are errors in /var/log/messages?
[21:27] <ACameron> undecim: OK...
[21:27] <mbeierl> drpi: when you insert the dvd?
[21:27] <drpi> mbeirerl: yes
[21:28] <Bushman> i have a bluetooth mouse and since i've started to use it the bluetooth dongle dies on me every few seconds/minutes taking the mouse down on the way. here's the last few lines of dmesg: http://bushman.pastebin.com/uQh5nN1q Anyone?
[21:28] <drpi> mberierl: my dvd drive works in windows, but not ubuntu
[21:29] <ACameron> undecim: root=/dev/sda{1,2,3} all fail
[21:29] <celestius> how can i force a process to run on a particular core?
[21:29] <undecim> ACameron: Do you have multiple hard drives in this computer?
[21:29] <erUSUL> celestius: maybe with schedtool or cpuset
[21:29] <ACameron> undecim: Yes, about five...
[21:30] <undecim> ACameron: ...
[21:30] <celestius> ok ty erUSUL
[21:30] <drpi> mbeirerl: so basically the only error message I'm getting when trying to mount my "sr0 device" is that it's unknown
[21:30] <ACameron> undecim: ^_^;;  Although, I do appear to have an old 9.04 LiveCD!
[21:30] <undecim> ACameron: Well... I guess you'll have to try root=/dev/sd{b,c,d,e}{1,2} until you find the right one.
[21:30] <ACameron> undecim: Perhaps its partition editor can help me figure this out.
[21:30] <undecim> ACameron: Perhaps
[21:31] <undecim> ACameron: I think maybe since you have the partition numbers wrong, the init script is having trouble...
[21:31] <undecim> ACameron: If you tell GParted to fix the partition numbers, that might fix it
[21:31] <mbeierl> drpi: is this a removable device or built in?
[21:31] <drpi> mbeierl: built in
[21:31] <mbeierl> drpi: also, do you have a link /dev/dvd or /dev/cdrom ?
[21:31] <undecim> ACameron: Because right now, partition #1 would be the second partion on the drive if I understand correctly...
[21:32] <undecim> ACameron: Which means number 3 or 4 comes before that...
[21:32] <drpi> mbeierl: link?
[21:32] <mbeierl> drpi: "symbolic link"  do an "ls -al /dev/cdrom" and it should show something like /dev/cdrom -> sr0
[21:33] <__nick> sera a tutti!!
[21:33] <mbeierl> drpi: also, can you from a terminal do "dmesg | grep -i DVD"
[21:34] <__nick> a ki posso chiedere per informazioni su install ubuntu su mac?
[21:34] <drpi> mbeierl: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2011-01-18 13:29 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
[21:34] <royale1223> how can I get a nick list like this http://irssi.org/themefiles/revolutionary.png - on the right
[21:34] <Carl0s-> Sweet
[21:34] <__nick> ??
[21:34] <mbeierl> drpi: and what exactly is the command you are using to mount the drive?
[21:35] <Diez_> Hi there
[21:35] <Carl0s-> Hi
[21:35] <__nick> hi
[21:35] <Carl0s-> Hi
[21:35] <__nick> how can I install ubuntu on mac osx?
[21:35] <Diez_> i'm from france and this is the first time i try Ubuntu
[21:35] <drpi> mbeierl: mount/dev/cdrom
[21:36] <Carl0s-> That's one for google.
[21:36] <sidewalk> so Ubuntu decided to ask for a password when trying to print to a printer shared by a windows machine
[21:36] <sidewalk> why is this?
[21:36] <__nick> ??
[21:36] <sidewalk> and how do i get rid of it?
[21:36] <sidewalk> it started after a cups update
[21:36] <mbeierl> drpi: do you have /dev/cdrom defined in /etc/fstab?  Otherwise you need to specify the mount like "mount /dev/cdrom /path" where "/path" is the directory under which the contents of the dvd should be displayed
[21:37] <__nick> ??
[21:37] <Somelauw> Hi, I installed google chrome, but I heard it doesn't automatically update. Will ubuntu automatically give me updates when bugs are fixed?
[21:37] <__nick> ??
[21:37] <mbeierl> drpi: was the error something like "mount: can't find /dev/cdrom is /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"?
[21:37] <__nick> ??
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> Somelauw: how did you install it?
[21:38] <xangua> Somelauw: chromium is already in the repository
[21:38] <brontoeee> __nick, use virtualbox is the easy way
[21:38] <Somelauw> I installed it using the software centre
[21:38] <__nick> no, I want have a dual boot
[21:38] <drpi> mbeirerl: well... no. I think I typed the wrong command, but it's something like that
[21:38] <ACameron> undecim: Aha. My current drive layout is: (ntfs) (extended: [ext3, linux-swap]) (unallocated free space) (my latest partition, ntfs)
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> Somelauw: then it should when you update with the rest of your applications
[21:38] <Somelauw> But it says: Canonical does not provide updates for Chromium Web Browser. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community.
[21:38] <Vbitz> can anyone please help me with a render error
[21:38] <drpi> mbeirerl: all it's tell me is that it can't mount it because it's an unknown device
[21:39] <__nick> ??
[21:39] <ACameron> undecim: I think the new ntfs partition snagged /dev/sda3, making my linux partition /dev/sda5, for some reason.  I'll try again with GRUB.
[21:39] <brontoeee> __nick, maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/MacOSX or a search http://www.ubuntu.com/search/google-appliance/mac
[21:39] <aeon-ltd> Somelauw: i assume that just means its not branded by canonical, but updates should come to the repo, if not find alternative means to update
[21:39] <__nick> ok, now i see!! thx
[21:39] <Carl0s-> So anyway this mIRC thing is pretty cool! have you guys been on here a long time?
[21:40] <xangua> Somelauw: it does update
[21:40] <Darothane> does anyone in here use quassel?
[21:40] <Somelauw> xangua, okay cool
[21:40] <brontoeee> Somelauw, that only means that canonical takes no part in that specific project, repo will still work
[21:40] <Chetic> How do you change mouse x/y-axis sensitivity?
[21:40] <mbeierl> drpi: sorry - I don't notice you if the nick is wrong.  Can you be more specific on the exact command you are using and the exact error message?
[21:41] <brontoeee> Carl0s-, there is no mirc thing in ubuntu
[21:41] <drpi> mbeirerl: but my fstab doesn't say anything about my sr0(or cdrom)
[21:41] <Carl0s-> Lol
[21:41] <shotty> Is it just me or is everyone else so glad we have Ubuntu available to us, and do not need to pay all our money to Microsoft any more.
[21:41] <dibe> sorry channells italy???
[21:41] <shotty> :)
[21:42] <brontoeee> shotty, just you
[21:42] <ACameron> undecim: changing root=UUID=(something) to root=/dev/sda5 *did not* fix the problem.  =X
[21:42] <guntbert> !it | dibe
[21:42] <xangua> !it > dibe
[21:42] <shotty> haha, cheers Brontoeee
[21:42] <Carl0s-> I'm amusing myself. Irc on phone is such a bad idea ;)
[21:42] <guntbert> !ot | shotty, Carl0s-
[21:42] <mbeierl> drpi: brb
[21:42] <Darothane> just realised I should maybe have asked more than what I did.... does anyone use Quassel and knows if it's possible to prevent notices from going into the server window, I would rather have them in either the channel that they originated from or in a 'popup'
[21:42] <dibe> oks thanks
[21:43] <undecim> ACameron: I wonder if having it on a logical partition is causing problems...
[21:43] <ACameron> undecim: It's been on that partition for ages without issue.
[21:43] <drpi> mbeierl: sudo mount /dev/sr0
[21:43] <shotty> Apologies for the off topic comment.
[21:43] <Carl0s-> Meh
[21:43] <__nick> I do it, but when ubuntu installation finished  more error  there are!!
[21:44] <__nick> *there are more error
[21:44] <drpi> mbeierl: ok now I'm getting "mount: can't find /dev/sr0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" hmm...
[21:44] <TeslaTony> Is there any sane way to retrieve a single file from a Clonezilla backup of a partition?
[21:44] <undecim> ACameron: on /dev/sda5?
[21:44] <__nick> ??
[21:45] <SA-Geoff> __nick, what errors?
[21:45] <ACameron> undecim: I can't recall, but I think it used to be on /dev/sda3.  But my ext3 and linux-swap partitions are both inside one logical partition.  Previously, my drive was: (primary: ntfs) (logical, containing: ext3, linux-swap) (free space)
[21:45] <__nick> I\O error
[21:45] <ACameron> undecim: Now it's (primary: ntfs) (logical, containing: ext3, linux-swap) (free space) (primary: ntfs)
[21:46] <undecim> ACameron: Try to get / on a primary
[21:46] <undecim> ACameron: I don't think you can boot a logical
[21:46] <zpeakman> Hi! I've connected my PC to my Sony Bravia 55" FullHD LCD TV to work as the primary and only monitor.
[21:46] <Carl0s-> __nick sounds like cd dirty or bad burn
[21:46] <undecim> Someone here may correct me though...
[21:46] <ACameron> undecim: I'm telling you, I have been for ages.
[21:46] <Gaming4JC> !mac | __nick
[21:46] <__nick> and in the end of the list when i type "enter"  exit "will not restart"
[21:46] <Gaming4JC> for all else :)
[21:46] <zpeakman> But I experience a lag which is very annoying
[21:46] <Gaming4JC> hmm
[21:46] <ACameron> undecim: I didn't change my ext3 partition, didn't even touch it.  All I did was add a new ntfs elsewhere on the drive.
[21:46] <ubutom_> __nick, if that I/O errror is at the end of the installation before you take the cd out you can well ignore that, had that on my pcs too.
[21:46] <Gaming4JC> :s
[21:47] <zpeakman> Hi! I've connected my PC to my Sony Bravia 55" FullHD LCD TV to work as the primary and only monitor. But there is an annoying lag! Moving the mouse pointer is difficult since it's lagging maybe 200-300ms. What's causing this?
[21:47] <__nick> ok, but mac crash, and I must turn off the mac using power buttun!
[21:47] <__nick> hold it for five sec
[21:48] <Somelauw> Also, is there any way to view pdf pages in google chrome?
[21:48] <__nick> no good for mac :)
[21:48] <ubutom_> __nick, and is it bootinh up then?
[21:48] <Carl0s-> -
[21:48] <SA-Geoff> zpeakman, are you using hd out?  and what video card is it?
[21:48] <Somelauw> Inside the browser/
[21:48] <ubutom_> *booting
[21:48] <DThought> zpeakman: when its an TV it might be the "image enhancement" done by the TV?
[21:49] <DThought> zpeakman: turn off any image enhancement options in the TV (100/200/whatever Hz, sharpening etc....)
[21:49] <ACameron> undecim: Er, to clarify: I have 2 primary partitions and one *extended* partition, in which my ext3 resides as a logical partition.  But that really doesn't change much.
[21:50] <__nick> yes and I can choose  both s.o but when I choose Ubuntu, and restart it for enter in osx, pc crash! always
[21:50] <__nick> *mac crash
[21:50] <undecim> ACameron: I have no idea
[21:50] <ubutom_> __nick, sounds like an acpi issue then, I'm not familiar with that or EFI,
[21:51] <__nick> :(
[21:52] <ACameron> undecim: Fair enough. The instructions in your blog post - will there be a problem if I'm using an 8.04 livecd and I'm trying to resurrect a 10.10 install?
[21:52] <__nick> I create 2 partition :for swap (ms dos) and s.o (msdos) this is correct?
[21:52] <ubutom_> !mac | __nick
[21:52] <__nick> ok now isee
[21:53] <ubunt> I am trying to find out how to remove the default fonts on GIMP... but i heard that that would mess up some other things in the system. is this true?
[21:53] <__nick> thx, and sorry for my bad english! I am not english guy
[21:53] <ubutom_> __nick, maybe you wanna /join #ubuntu-it
[21:54] <ACameron> undecim: Interesting. When I try to mount /dev/sda5 from the LiveCD, it won't.  dmesg | tail tells me: "EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted!"
[21:54] <__nick> no, italian are fake !
[21:54] <ubutom_> __nick, fake in what way? :)
[21:54] <Anubi> is there some repo for php-gtk2?
[21:55] <__nick> lol :) italian people, and documentation :)

[21:56] <shotty> Hi all, could someone please help me with a problem i am having with a Cisco Linksys WMP600n wireless PCI card which i have in my custom built desktop running 10.04. I did ask on Launchpad but no one was able to offer a working fix. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[21:56] <tarrasch> Yugnoswam, me? I'm actually wondering if it's related to my user or not
[21:56] <__nick> maybe I understand that I have downloaded the wrong version!

[21:58] <tarrasch> Yugnoswam, and then test if I can login with that user
[21:58] <__nick> Lucid Lynx
[21:58] <Yugnoswam> tarrasch: could work..
[21:58] <ubutom_> __nick, could be, try and see
[21:58] <sanjoy> is there any soft similar with skype
[21:58] <shotty> Anybody who can help with my wireless issues?....
[21:59] <__nick> ok but tomorrow :)
[21:59] <ubutom_> __nick,  yah, good luck then :)
[21:59] <BluesKaj> shotty, so what's happening , describe what you've tried
[21:59] <sanjoy> is there any soft similar with skype in ubuntu ?
[22:00] <__nick> where I can download thet version?
[22:00] <endrien> Hello, I just installed drivers for WUSB600n v2 on ubuntu 32bit 10.10 and I can see my router, but not connect. Can anyone help?
[22:00] <__nick> official ubuntu site?
[22:00] <shotty> Basically, i was asked to paste a code into the terminal which gave back some troubleshooting details but then i did not receive further help. i could give you a URL to it if you like
[22:00] <ubutom_> !skype  | sanjoy
[22:00] <zpeakman> SA-Geoff: DThought: Just swapped to "Game" mode and it did indeed improve a bit. It's an NVidia GTX 450.
[22:00] <brontoeee> sanjoy, they say there is skype
[22:01] <ubutom_> __nick, yes it is the latest lts version (long term support)
[22:01] <__nick> thx ubutom :)
[22:01] <BluesKaj> shotty, what code/command string in the terminal?
[22:01] <shotty> BluesKaj The URL to launchpad is https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/135964
[22:01] <SA-Geoff> zpeakman, what type of output are you using from the computer?  vga?  dvi?  hdmi?
[22:02] <sanjoy> an equivalent soft similar skype
[22:02] <sanjoy> is there any of it in ubuntu?
[22:02] <SA-Geoff> sanjoy, skype has a version available for ubuntu
[22:02] <endrien> Hello, I just installed drivers for WUSB600n v2 on ubuntu 32bit 10.10 and I can see my router, but not connect. Can anyone help?
[22:02] <ubutom_> sanjoy, ekiga softphone or what's it called
[22:03] <SA-Geoff> sanjoy, just go to skypes site and click on download.  it should detect your os and offer you the .deb installation file
[22:03] <KipMacy> video/chat/audio works with Google Chat in ubuntu after you install a plugin
[22:03] <zpeakman> SA-Geoff: HDMI
[22:03] <shotty> BluesKaj, the following was the code but it is quite long sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep '8180|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|usb|witch|wl'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep '8180|acx|at76|ath|b4

[22:03] <volkan_> hii, does anybody know what "Enlightenment Foundation Libraries" that "foundation" means? is it like gruop, company or base, core meaning?
[22:03] <Yugnoswam> endrien Is it compatible?
[22:04] <sanjoy> wow thnx guys
[22:04] <SA-Geoff> zpeakman, do you have the proprietary nvidia driver installed?
[22:04] <endrien> Yes? It worked on 10.4
[22:04] <xangua> volkan_: foundation means foundation
[22:05] <BluesKaj> shotty, .I have a ralink  wifi as well, and I found wicd works quite well with it , network manager is clunky and unstable with that chipset.
[22:05] <ayecee> volkan_: in what context?
[22:05] <zpeakman> SA-Geoff: yes
[22:05] <Yugnoswam> put yugnoswam before you say anything so it singles me out
[22:05] <zpeakman> SA-Geoff: ubuntu latest
[22:05] <Yugnoswam> endrien: some things changed in the update.
[22:05] <volkan_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_Foundation_Libraries
[22:06] <ayecee> volkan_: oh. base, core.
[22:06] <SA-Geoff> zpeakman, i'm sure it's a tv setting then
[22:06] <brontoeee> what could be the problem with incredibly problematic ftp connection that seems to time out even before first list command is sent from the client, server seems to run on debian, client is karmic ubuntu -  filezilla
[22:06] <shotty> BluesKaj Excuse my ignorance but how would i install it?? is it a simple apt-get install?? will i need to remove network manager after install wicd|
[22:06] <endrien> Actually for some reason it just started to work, I'm not sure what I did. I've been installing drivers and messing with the terminal for a few hours
[22:06] <volkan_> ayecee thankyou
[22:06] <zpeakman> SA-Geoff: yes, seems like that
[22:06] <volkan_> xangua ty for answetr
[22:07] <guntbert> !who | endrien
[22:07] <BluesKaj> shotty, apt-get install wicd , network manager is auto disabled upon wicd installation
[22:07] <Darothane> does anyone use Quassel and knows if it's possible to prevent notices from going into the server window, I would rather have them in either the channel that they originated from or in a 'popup'
[22:07] <Yugnoswam> endrien: kk. told you, the bot did too XD
[22:07] <BluesKaj> shotty, sudo apt-get install wicd
[22:08] <Yugnoswam> endrien: if you type part of someones nickname then hit tab it fills the rest n then when you say it, it's hightlighted on their screen. like this messgae
[22:08] <shotty> BluesKaj, thanks for that. I will try tomorrow when the machine is free.
[22:08] <xangua> Darothane: i do not, try asking in #kubuntu or maybe #kde
[22:09] <rich_> hi there, trying to add system tools to my menu, i right click, click system tools and it keeps unticking itself after a second, any suggestions?
[22:09] <Darothane> aha! thanks xangua
[22:09] <shotty> I hope someone will be on to run any further troubleshooting steps
[22:09] <BluesKaj> shotty, just ask and I'm sure someone will halp you
[22:10] <shotty> BluesKaj. Cheers
[22:12] <olskolirc> can I 'cat' a microsoft doc in the terminal without all the scribblee?  Is there a command for that?
[22:13] <Bushman> i have a bluetooth mouse and since i've started to use it the bluetooth dongle dies on me every few seconds/minutes taking the mouse down on the way. here's the last few lines of dmesg: http://bushman.pastebin.com/uQh5nN1q Anyone?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> olskolirc: there seems to be a command antiword which converts word files to text
[22:14] <ACameron> undecim: FYI, after running fsck /dev/sda5 from the LiveCD, I was able to boot fine again without changing my GRUB entry.  But thank you anyway; I really appreciate the help.  =)
[22:14] <Steelers> Cant get any spdif output from any digital device in ubuntu 10.10. everything unmuted + turned up and spdif box checked.. receiver set to coax connection. optical doesn't work either. analog works fine. its realtek 887-vd intel HD
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> olskolirc: antiword filename.txt > /tmp/out.txt; less /tmp/out.txt; rm /tmp/out.txt
[22:15] <john38> In the Personal File Sharing Preferences Option i have a USB adapter do i choose "Share Files over Network" or "Share Files over Bluetooth??
[22:15] <root_> HOLA
[22:15] <naptastic> Is this a good channel to ask questions about tftp and tftpd-hpa? I am trying to set up remote booting and my tftp server is timing out instead of delivering the files.
[22:15] <olskolirc> thanks ActionParsnip installing antiword
[22:15] <root_> alguien habla español??
[22:16] <root_> olaaaaaaaaaaaa
[22:16] <john38> In the Personal File Sharing Preferences Option i have a USB adapter do i choose "Share Files over Network" or "Share Files over Bluetooth??
[22:17] <naptastic> john38, are you trying to share files over your home network or with a bluetooth device like a phone?
[22:18] <sandstrom> I've setup ssh key based authentication (http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication-p2), but I'm still asked for password. What could the reason be?
[22:18] <shotty> naptastic which type of pxe server are you setting up?
[22:18] <john38> naptastic, i have 2 computers one which is wired with Wireless router sharing internet with other computer with USB Adapter but i want to transfer some files between them
[22:18] <Braindead> hi there
[22:18] <naptastic> john38, then you want "Share Files over Network"
[22:19] <naptastic> shotty, I'm not sure how to answer that? I'm using tftpd-hpa and dhcp3-server from Maverick main
[22:19] <jrib> sandstrom: all you have to do on a default ubuntu install is use ssh-copy-id
[22:20] <john38> naptastic, so how do i do this file transfering thing
[22:20] <john38> naptastic, where and how to go about setting this up
[22:20] <jrib> sandstrom: without you giving more details my first guess would be a permissions issue or you made some mistake following the instructions.  I'd recommend you just start over and use ssh-copy-id
[22:21] <sandstrom> jrib: I got the key generated, and added the public key to authorized_keys on the remote host. When I ssh (using the -i flag pointing to the private key) I'm still asked for a password.
[22:21] <john38> naptastic, under "Share Files over the Network" it says "this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system"
[22:21] <naptastic> john38, I've never used the personal sharing wizard you mentioned, so I don't know how to guide you further, except to point you to google
[22:21] <shotty> naptastic You may find this site quite useful, it was invaluable to me when setting up a pxe server at home. It may not be exactly what you're looking for but may offer some helpful info http://www.serenux.com/2010/05/howto-setup-your-own-pxe-boot-server-using-ubuntu-server/
[22:22] <naptastic> shotty, thank you! I'll just lurk here while I read...
[22:22] <cryptodira> flashplayer square 64 bit linux.... i have placed the libflashplayer.so file in the plugins folder for both opera and mozilla.... any flash site (youtube for instance) complains about needing the latest flashplayer... with links to the 32 bit version... what might i be failing to do to get the 64 bit version to work.... do i need to have a 32 bit version installed first??
[22:22] <shotty> naptastic Best of luck
[22:22] <brontoeee> john38, both machines running linux, gnome ?
[22:22] <tarrasch> Hello, I can't login on my ubuntu 10.10 (logs out instantly after login), but I can login into other users. So the system is healthy but appearntly not the user prefernces. Where do one start to debug if it's the users settings fault?
[22:23] <john38> brontoeee, both 10.04 32bit
[22:23] <jrib> tarrasch: ~/.xsession-errors
[22:23] <jrib> cryptodira: you need to close all instances of firefox and start it again
[22:24] <brontoeee> john38, i find the easy way is ssh, first ping the machines, then install ssh on both, then you may use nautilus to mount one machine user home to another and share stuff
[22:24] <tarrasch> I know I get the same problem when using Safe Mode and Recovery Console. But I can login from ctrl+alt+f1, does that narrow it down anything?
[22:24] <john38> brontoeee, what is ssh
[22:24] <Steelers> Cant get any spdif output from any digital device in ubuntu 10.10. everything unmuted + turned up and spdif box checked.. receiver set to coax connection. optical doesn't work either. analog works fine. its realtek 887-vd intel HD
[22:24] <jrib> tarrasch: read ~/.xsession-errors
[22:25] <tarrasch> jrib, thanks!
[22:25] <john38> brontoeee, when i enable personal file sharing with password do have to enable sharing for specific folder?
[22:25] <tarrasch> jrib, ah, error in .profile :p
[22:25] <tarrasch> you're the best jrib!!!! :)
[22:26] <jrib> tarrasch: no problem :)
[22:26] <brontoeee> john38, i never used those wizards, let me google up a ssh guide, hold on
[22:27] <bastidrazor> !ssh
[22:27] <dodgy_script> once you have ssh'd into a machine is there an easy command to transfer files over
[22:28] <nothingspecial> john38: not if you have an admin login
[22:28] <nothingspecial> dodgy_script: scp
[22:28] <brontoeee> dodgy_script, you can use nautilus to mount a ssh point and then drag/drop mice
[22:28] <bencahill> hey nothingspecial, are you running ubuntu right now?
[22:28] <nothingspecial> bencahill: debian why?
[22:29] <nothingspecial> bencahill: I can move to the next room
[22:29] <john38> nothingspecial, when i enable share public files on network which folder which folder will be visible on other machines
[22:29] <dodgy_script> nothingspecial, brontoeee, ok i'll man page it ! thankyou
[22:29] <bencahill> nothingspecial: that would be great, I've got this bug I want someone to test, see below:
[22:29] <bencahill> so you start with no windows open...then open two (let's say terminal) windows...then click the 'show desktop' button (or press mod4 + d), they both minimize. Then if you restore one window by click on it on the bottom panel, and click 'show desktop' or mod4+d, the other window re-appears. I do not believe this is the intended behavior. I would think that whenever there are any windows open, the show desktop function should show the desktop
[22:30] <C3D> hey when i use ifconfig -a it shows eth0 wlan0 and lo. What is lo and why is it on?
[22:30] <bencahill> dodgy_script: man pages are very useful! ;)
[22:30] <shotty> C3D lo is loopback
[22:30] <naptastic> C3D, lo is the loopback interface. It's necessary.
[22:30] <Steelers> !spdif
[22:30] <jrib> sandstrom: did ssh-copy-id work?
[22:31] <shotty> C3D i wouldn't worry about it
[22:31] <C3D> thanks just wondering cause im trying to set up internet sharing and was wondering if it needed to be there or not
[22:31] <naptastic> C3D, it does, and you may safely ignore it.
[22:32] <dodgy_script> C3D, lo is a way for linux to communicate with it self at least that is what i understand !
[22:32] <brontoeee> dodgy_script, john38 just use file/connect to server, then server data and voila
[22:32] <nothingspecial> bencahill: hang on, I don`t even have a bottom pane, brb
[22:32] <sandstrom> jrib: I didn't try, since I already got the files copied (although I understand your point; I might very well have made a mistake and using ssh-copy-id will assure things are setup correctly). Will try if I can't nail down the problem myself.
[22:32] <bencahill> nothingspecial: sure, np
[22:32] <cryptodira> jrib: no joy.... same request to upgrade to the latest 10 version of flash.
[22:32] <brontoeee> john38, i cant find a simple guide with google, funny
[22:32] <bencahill> nothingspecial: you can use mod4 + d also, same behavior (at least on ubuntu)
[22:32] <john38> brontoeee, ok
[22:32] <nothingspecial> john38: How are you sharing?
[22:32] <jrib> sandstrom: if you want to troubleshoot, you should run your ssh command with -vvv and check your server logs (and pastebin both)
[22:33] <jrib> cryptodira: where did you put libflashplayer.so exactly?
[22:33] <john38> nothingspecial, System>Preferences>Personal File Sharing
[22:34] <cryptodira> jrib: /usr/lib64/mozilla  and /usr/lib64/opera
[22:34] <jrib> cryptodira: for firefox, you should just use ~/.mozilla/firefox/
[22:34] <jrib> erm
[22:34] <jrib> cryptodira: for firefox, you should just use ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[22:36] <nothingspecial> bencahill: That is indeed what happens, why, I could not say. You have a point, but I have never considered it like this.
[22:36] <bencahill> nothingspecial: thx :)
[22:36] <shotty> cannot find a clonezilla channel on here but does anyone know how one would push applications to many PC's on the network? i would like to have my clonezilla server deploying my images but i now need a way to send applications/packages out to multiple clients.
[22:37] <nothingspecial> john__: I don`t have that option, is it samba or something?
[22:37] <nothingspecial> john38 ^^
[22:37] <honeypot> apt-get remove vlc doesn't find but I have it installed :(
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> shotty: could use partimage and mount a fileshare, you can then tel partimage to drop the image onto the internal disk of the client
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> honeypot: try:  dpkg -l | grep vlc
[22:38] <Chilaquiles> hey guys how can I show the charge that I have on the battery on my laptop?
[22:38] <cryptodira> jrib: that is what i thought initially, however, there is NO /plugins anywhere in the ~/.mozilla/ hierarchy.
[22:39] <jrib> cryptodira: create it
[22:39] <Dakrav> what is kate?
[22:39] <Steelers> Cant get any spdif output from any digital device in ubuntu 10.10. everything unmuted + turned up and spdif box checked.. receiver set to coax connection. optical doesn't work either. analog works fine. its realtek 887-vd intel HD
[22:39] <cryptodira> jrib:  duh.... Thank YOU!
[22:39] <honeypot> ActionParsnip: I have 4 ones
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> !info kate | Dakrav
[22:39] <shotty> ActionParsnip Thanks for your reply. however, i am already able to deploy the images using a clonezilla server i set up, which allows me to images clients via pxe. but i would now like know of a way to send applications to existing installed ubuntu clients
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: sudo acpi -V
[22:40] <Dakrav> thanks
[22:40] <cognitiaclaeves> What is responsible for the system status splash when you ssh into a ubuntu server?  The thing that shows IP address, etc?
[22:40] <tyranscoter1> No sound out of totem after upgrade to Maverick   :-(
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> shotty: if you setup ssh keys, you can run a script which will run through a list of hosts and tell it to install a package, depends how many systems you have etc
[22:40] <^Mike\b> cognitiaclaeves: sshd, I think
[22:41] <bastidrazor> cognitiaclaeves: /etc/update-motd/   the fies in there
[22:41] <tyranscoter1> has anyone else seen this ?
[22:41] <shotty> any ideas on where to find scripts for this? or perhaps a link to a tutorial?
[22:41] <bencahill> cognitiaclaeves: I've been wondering this myself, it looks like this can change it: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ssh-welcome-banner-on-ubuntu/
[22:42] <crazyturk> Enter text here...hellloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[22:42] <^Mike\b> bastidrazor, cognitiaclaeves: No, those just update the motd, as the name suggests.
[22:42] <bastidrazor> bencahill: edit the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/..rathers
[22:42] <shotty> i am working in a school. We have upward of 1000 clients but i would like to setup a full Ubuntu IT Suite of 30 machines
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> shotty: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/shutdown-multiple-computers-via-ssh-try-different-passwords-835602/   just change the executed command ;)
[22:42] <cognitiaclaeves> I found it.  it's /usr/bin/landscape-sysinfo.
[22:42] <crazyturk> sex laz0131m sexxxxxx
[22:42] <bastidrazor> cognitiaclaeves: that is not in a default ubuntu install.. no idea where you got that from
[22:42] <cognitiaclaeves> A call was made by a script in /etc/update-motd/
[22:42] <tyranscoter1> Any sound guru's out there ?
[22:43] <cognitiaclaeves> Ubuntu server.
[22:43] <bencahill> bastidrazor: obviously you didn't even look at the link :)
[22:43] <shotty> ActionParsnip Thanks for the link :)
[22:43] <SA-Geoff> tyranscoter1, i do some sound work
[22:43] <SA-Geoff> tyranscoter1, you mean like audio recording and such?
[22:43] <bencahill> bastidrazor: "Changing this message requires editing two different files. The first three sections can be modified by editing the following file: /etc/motd"
[22:44] <bencahill> !ot |  crazyturk
[22:44] <^Mike\b> bencahill: on modern ubuntu, /etc/motd is dynamically generated - your edits will disappear
[22:44] <bastidrazor> bencahill: i don't need to look at the link since i know how to change it.
[22:44] <crazyturk> 0507 857233 ana laz0131m hurmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[22:44] <bencahill> bastidrazor: you corrected me saying exactly the same thing the link said
[22:44] <bastidrazor> bencahill: i have my own custom motd that one of the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/ calls
[22:45] <bastidrazor> bencahill: right. :)
[22:45] <shotty> Thanks for everyone's help. cya

[22:45] <IdleOne> !language | Steelers
[22:45] <bencahill> ^Mike\b: ok, what should you change?
[22:46] <^Mike\b> bencahill: Do you actually need to change the motd, or are you just getting your back up because you were wrong?
[22:46] <Steelers> IdleOne, I just need someone to help with my sound
[22:46] <cognitiaclaeves> Thanks, everyone.
[22:46] <bencahill> ^Mike\b: no, I would like to know how, I don't care if I was wrong :)
[22:47] <^Mike\b> bencahill: The scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/ dynamically write /etc/motd, so you should chmod and/or edit them
[22:47] <bencahill> ^Mike\b: translation: there is always more to be learned, and I'm all ears :)
[22:47] <hdon> can anyone recommend screen capture software besides Istanbul? Istanbul flat-out does not work!
[22:47] <bencahill> ^Mike\b: gotcha, thanks :)
[22:47] <popey> hdon: gtk-recordmydesktop
[22:47] <hdon> popey, thanks :)
[22:47] <sandstrom> jrib: troubleshooting ssh key pairs with -vvv http://pastie.org/1475468
[22:48] <popey> hdon: it's how I made many of the ones at http://ucasts.tv/ and http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ so I know it works :)
[22:48] <hdon> popey, :)
[22:48] <bastidrazor> bencahill: i have my own script in there 13-my-motd  and i've written to call my motd everytime.
[22:48] <hdon> i like Istanbul but on the current LTS Ubuntu, the package provided does not work!
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> hdon: is there a later one available. Maybe in a PPA?
[22:48] <^Mike\b> sandstrom: Your ssh key file isn't a key O_o
[22:49] <FiReSTaRT> does anyone know when 2.6.37 will be available as a standard update for maverick?
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> hdon: have you logged a bug to say it's not working too
[22:49] <hdon> ActionParsnip, i haven't had time to check!
[22:49] <cryptodira> jrib: made the directory... added the .so   restarted FF.... still no joy,,,, thoughts?
[22:49] <^Mike\b> sandstrom: Also note, you probably shouldn't have a file called ~/.ssh/id_rsa.
[22:49] <hdon> ActionParsnip, i think i did some time ago. it has been this way since the LAST LTS :(
[22:49] <jrib> cryptodira: what version does http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ say you have?
[22:49] <^Mike\b> sandstrom: use ssh's -i option to specify the key to use
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> FiReSTaRT: I don't think it will personally, it's a natty kernel as far as I am aware. I could be wrong
[22:50] <geoffrey_> #manila
[22:50] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, it should be no problem to install this even though it says natty: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.37-natty/
[22:51] <jrib> sandstrom: user is also "ubuntu" on the server?  Are you specifying the correct user?
[22:51] <cryptodira> jrib:  flashplayer_square_p2_64bit_linux_092710.tar.gz which yields libflashplayer.so
[22:51] <FiReSTaRT> ActionParsnip: i know it's available for maverick, but i don't wanna test upgrading the kernel on my main "desktop" machine.. it would be nice to run without the broadcom STA driver though ;)
[22:51] <jrib> cryptodira: huh?
[22:51] <FiReSTaRT> thanks sam-_- i'll add the repo and see :P
[22:51] <MrChinoSun> how do i install a printer driver for Canon MP150?
[22:51] <sandstrom> jrib: user on the local machine is ubuntu, on the remote it has the name backupsystem. When I connect I use ssh backupsystem@remote.host
[22:52] <jrib> cryptodira:  http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ should say "You have version _________ installed"
[22:52] <sandstrom> ^Mike\b: it looks like a key (updated the pastie: http://pastie.org/1475468)
[22:52] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, it will NOT replace your kernel. it will be installed alongside your "old" kernel
[22:52] <FiReSTaRT> sam-_-: so i'd go into grub and boot under it?
[22:53] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, y. basically that's it.
[22:53] <FiReSTaRT> sam-_-: so i just install the 2 packages, run update grub and reboot?
[22:53] <jrib> sandstrom: now check what the server is doing
[22:53] <adi11> hi all. how can i get bigger notify popups in my desktop. i cant read the content now.
[22:54] <bencahill> adi11: what screen res?
[22:54] <Error404NotFound> how can i remove and reinstall network manager without interrupting internet?
[22:54] <adi11> i am talking about the notify sistem popups
[22:54] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, it should run update-grub automatically after installing. doesn't hurt to do it manually though.
[22:54] <khbsdtyhb> ther ar som flash playyer tu linux??
[22:54] <^Mike\b> sandstrom: Sorry, misread. I'm not sure what's going on there
[22:54] <adi11> bencahill : it the max of my monitor
[22:54] <bencahill> adi11: which is?
[22:54] <FiReSTaRT> sam-_-: we'll see... but i'll blow my load if i dont have to depend on sta :P
[22:54] <adi11> just a sec
[22:54] <MrChinoSun> can anybody help me with printer driver?
[22:55] <bencahill> !language | FiReSTaRT
[22:55] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, how is the module called?
[22:55] <tyranscoter1> Anyone else having sound problems under Totem in 10.10 ?
[22:55] <adi11> 1152X964
[22:55] <bencahill> adi11: ^^ weirdest screen size i've ever seen :)
[22:56] <FiReSTaRT> sam-_-: not sure about modules, but 2.6.37 should have native support for broadcom wireless chipsets... that means that i don't have to use the proprietary driver
[22:56] <adi11> hahha yes.thats becasue i have a integrated sis of 2004
[22:56] <IamTrying> I loged in with ubuntu livecd on top of windows xp (which is crashed). How can i backup the windows now ?
[22:56] <bencahill> adi11: tft or crt?
[22:56] <cryptodira> jrib: from here:  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html
[22:57] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, i wouldn't count on it but it's worth a try.
[22:57] <adi11> its not a lcd.
[22:57] <sandstrom> jrib: thanks for helping out. Checked the authlog on the remote and there is nothing in the logs until I try a password (which is fallback), but the key authentication isn't mentioned.
[22:57] <adi11> i think crt
[22:57] <jrib> cryptodira: yes, I understand where you got it from (I also use it), but I need the information I asked about from that specific page :)
[22:57] <adi11> it heat my small room in the winter :)
[22:57] <jrib> sandstrom: interesting, it usually says "failed because blah" when it fails
[22:58] <jrib> sandstrom: server is also ubuntu?
[22:58] <bencahill> adi11: could you take a screenshot of the problem?
[22:58] <adi11> is there any way to get bigger popups and the content in it
[22:58] <sandstrom> jrib: yes
[22:58] <sandstrom> jrib: perhaps there is a specific log for sshd that I should look at?
[22:58] <FiReSTaRT> sam-_-: do i install just the headers and image for amd64 architecture or also that headers all package?
[22:59] <adi11> bencahill : there is not a problem. i  am talkin about a tweak for better reading my popups notify systems
[22:59] <jrib> sandstrom: I only know of /var/log/auth.log
[22:59] <wh0dat_> burned the 10.10 iso and when I boot it i get 1.   2.   Select a CD-ROM  .... ? options 1 and 2 are blank
[23:00] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, if you don't use dkms (thirdparty modules) you don't have to install the headers at all. i recommend installing all 3 packages though.
[23:00] <FiReSTaRT> sam-_-: btw i'm going by this link http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/205258/linux_wifi_gets_easier_with_new_broadcom_driver.html
[23:00] <FiReSTaRT> sam-_-: ok and which order should i install'em in?
[23:01] <sandstrom> jrib: I disabled password logins at the remote (when I created the user) could that have something to do with it? (though man-pages said that key auth would still be allowed)
[23:01] <sandstrom> jrib: (for this specific ssh user)
[23:01] <adi11> bencahill: i have problems with my eyes. this is why i need bigger fonts in the popups of the osd of ubuntu
[23:01] <bencahill> adi11: you mean the notifications in the top-right hand corner?
[23:01] <cryptodira> jrib: sorry, missed that request.... that page wants me to install additional plugins... looks like i need an actual installer... sigh.   Thank YOU for your help.
[23:01] <jrib> sandstrom: it should still work, but you could re-enable it just to troubleshoot
[23:01] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, in the order it works :-)   kernel   headers-all  headers-generic
[23:02] <adi11> bencahill: yes. the black windows with white fonts.
[23:02] <dodgy_script> adi11, bencahill , there was a package called notify-send for manual notifications maybe that has options?
[23:02] <FiReSTaRT> sam-_-: ok.. sounds like a plan.. thanks buddy.. i never did this outside of the normal update process :)
[23:02] <jrib> cryptodira: that page would display the flash version if firefox actually detected your libflashplayer.so.  Is libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/?  Maybe you did not close firefox properly after putting libflashplayer.so there.  Close firefox, then check to make sure it isn't still open using « ps -ef | grep firefox »
[23:02] <sam-_-> FiReSTaRT, good luck.
[23:02] <sandstrom> jrib: how would I do that?
[23:03] <adi11> bencahill : every time you have a action from let say pidgin or empathy it notify you
[23:03] <jrib> sandstrom: you don't have access to the machine anymore?
[23:03] <sandstrom> jrib: I do, but I don't know how I can re-enable password logins once a user is created
[23:03] <bencahill> adi11: right, I know
[23:03] <jrib> sandstrom: I'm not familiar with this.  There was a prompt to disable password logins when you created the user?  How did you create the user?
[23:04] <sandstrom> adduser --disabled-password
[23:04] <adi11> bencahill: i simetimes use configuration editor to tweak some setting... do you know if there is something in there to get bigger fonts on popups?
[23:05] <yshi> Hello, I just kinda bricked my laptop. I was hoping someone could help shed some light on this?
[23:05] <jrib> sandstrom: oh I see what you mean. That should be fine, though you could create a new user without that option just to troubleshoot if you want
[23:05] <magik-> When I connect to my ftpd on my local network.. my ftp client connects fine.. when I connect from a client over the internet.. it connects but then hangs. (Doesnt' list files). How do i solve this? I think it has to do with passiv
[23:05] <jrib> sandstrom: if you want to unlock this user, you can probably just run passwd USER
[23:05] <yshi> The problem now is there is no had found when I boot
[23:06] <sandstrom> jrib: thanks  I'll try that.
[23:06] <Chilaquiles> hey guys how can I show the charge that I have on the battery on my laptop?

[23:08] <nickcv> hi guys
[23:09] <nickcv> can someone please help me? :D
[23:09] <Craigwell> just ask nickcv
[23:09] <Craigwell> if someone is here and can help, they'll answer
[23:09] <nickcv> thanks Craig ^^
[23:09] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip: I did that and it seems like it installed something but I still don't see the charge of my battery
[23:09] <yshi> Information so far, I have an ibm thinkpad t61p running ubuntu10.10 x64, I no longer can boot from internal data hdd or flashdrive
[23:10] <Craigwell> yshi: if you boot from livecd, can you mount the internal drive?
[23:10] <yshi> Yes I am doing. That now and I can mount it
[23:10] <nickcv> i'm not a sysadmin for sure, but i was setting up an apache server with ubuntu… everything is working just fine, but i don't really understand how to set up a default virtual host. What i mean is that i want to set up a specific virtual host if someone inputs just the ip address of my webserver instead of using the domain name
[23:10] <Craigwell> yshi: maybe a grub problem?
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: sudo acpi -b
[23:11] <Craigwell> yshi: how far do you get when you power on the machine? were you running 64bit before?
[23:11] <yshi> I think so? When I was booting into

[23:11] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip: I did that, and now what?
[23:11] <cryptodira> jrib: yes the .so is in the proper place.... yes, i closed FF properly and restarted... it acutally required installing the flash installer... all appears to work properly... the adobe page reports:
[23:12] <sandstrom> jrib: haha, I think I got it. my spelling "authorized_keyz" seems a bit h4ckzor
[23:12] <bencahill> adi11: if you change the font size in System > Preferences > Appearance, the text on the notifications will increase as well. if you want to increase them separately, see this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/notify-osd/+bug/335383
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: it should show the battery status in terminal
[23:12] <jrib> sandstrom: heh
[23:12] <cryptodira> jrib:10,1,102,65 installed
[23:12] <adi11> thanks bencahill. :)

[23:13] <yshi> When I booted I got a grub screen where I chose the older kernel belonging to the new install
[23:13] <bencahill> adi11: no problem, just some googling :)
[23:13] <Craigwell> yshi: i'd save the aggravation and just run 32 bit
[23:13] <hellsing01>  hello, i installed gnome-shell and used gnome-shell --replace to load it, but all it did was screw up gdm, so i removed it, how can i fix it now?

[23:13] <sandstrom> jrib: thanks for your help. It was the z=>s spelling.
[23:14] <C3D> how do i edit dhcpd.conf?
[23:14] <nickcv> schnuffle: can the virtual host be defined in different files? in that case the first virtual host is in the file sorted by alphabetical order?
[23:14] <Craigwell> jrib: i still havent dealt with that /etc folder

[23:14] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: http://www.go2linux.org/laptop-battery-status-with-linux-console-command-acpi
[23:15] <Craigwell> jrib: if i just drag and drop my old /etc onto my new install, assuming the worst that can happen is i have to reinstall / folder ?
[23:15] <yshi> Well the only real trouble is backing everything up, I was hoping for a way to fix it cuz I didn't put home in a separate partition :/
[23:15] <jrib> Craigwell: you won't be able to boot
[23:15] <Craigwell> jrib: because of the fstab?
[23:15] <jrib> Craigwell: there are only changes in these files if you made them anyway.  If you're not aware of making any changes, then there's really no point in copying them
[23:15] <jrib> Craigwell: yes, because of fstab
[23:16] <nickcv> schnuffle: thanks it worked just fine
[23:17] <yshi> Would reinstalling grub be an option?

[23:18] <cryptodira> jrib: you are correct... that is not square.... i am not sure what i am doing incorrectly...i know square works as i had working before i formatted and did a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 ...hence my query here for helpl

[23:25] <amagee> is there some way i can automatically use that key whenever i connect to that server (for ssh, and also scp)?

[23:42] <Kevin147> dibs: will it remove any of my files? :S I'm scared about that.
[23:43] <dibs> aeon, yeah I just got my compiz running so I could enable the window decorator plugin so I didn't need to manually run a "metacity --replace"
[23:44] <dibs> aeon-ltd: The wobbly windows etc works too, but no dragging?
[23:44] <aeon-ltd> dibs: the buttons work right? (the close minimize etc)
[23:44] <bj0> Kevin147: it shouldn't, but you should always back up important files anyway
[23:44] <dibs> aeon-ltd: yes, that's how I get it to wobble, min then max

[23:54] <Ubberlisk> it will crash, dont install it

[23:56] <v4nelle> guys which font uses ubuntu console by default?
[23:56] <v4nelle> i cant find it in profile
[23:56] <cybastl> hi
[23:56] <gh0st> konsole
[23:56] <jrib> cryptodira: pastebin: « ls -l ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so » (including the command), the output of « ps -ef | grep firefox » after closing all instances of firefox, the output of « firefox » in a terminal after doing the previous step, and the version that is displayed at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[23:56] <cybastl> i want to run 0,2, * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'rvm use 1.8.7 && cd /home/vw && script/runner -e production RegularBooking.generate_bookings >> /home/vw/generate_bookings.log 2>&1' via cron
[23:56] <cybastl> running just in my terminal works fine
[23:57] <adac> trying to change password in gnome network manager openvpn. but the "save" utton remains disabled. whats wrong?
[23:57] <cryptodira> jrib: that is the current condition with a fresh machine reboot.... no flash anywhere except the libflashplayer.so in the directory you indicated above.... every flash file i try wants an upgraded version.
[23:57] <gh0st> v4nelle, try konsole
[23:57] <ross_> i can't play a file
[23:57] <jrib> cryptodira: if you pastebin all of that information I may be able to help you
[23:57] <cryptodira> jrib: wait one... will do
[23:57] <ross_> xvid
[23:57] <cybastl> but cron says CRON) error (grandchild #9116 failed with exit status 127) and (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output) i think there is no difference between the two methods wenn running bash -l -c
[23:57] <schnuffle> cybastl: there'S at least the user not defined
[23:58] <m4xx|home> i've updated my kernel to 2.6.36 and am trying to compile the linuxtv dvb drivers but i'm getting the following errors: http://paste2.org/p/1198366
[23:58] <m4xx|home> anyone have any ideas?
[23:58] <xangua> cryptodira: you can try this ppa instead https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash afted you add it and update your sources: sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
[23:59] <ross_> anyone knows what i need to install to play an xvid file?
[23:59] <schnuffle> cybastl: 0,2 * * * * root /bin/bash -l -c 'rvm use 1.8.7 && cd /home/vw && script/runner -e production RegularBooking.generate_bookings >> /home/vw/generate_bookings.log 2>&1'
[23:59] <jrib> cybastl: why don't you just write a small script and run that, I hate ugly crontabs.  Anyway, try using absolute paths for everything for starters.  Also, why do you end a field with a comma?
[23:59] <cybastl> if i just do ls instead of the script/runner part it works
