[00:00] <hiexpo> hola all
[00:00] <Wiesshund> ZenMasta numlock?
[00:00] <VCoolio> ZenMasta: I think ctrl+alt+numlock is the keybinding to toggle numpad/mouse movements
[00:00] <ZenMasta> well, to be continued gotta go. Thanks anyway though
[00:00] <ZenMasta> i'll give that a shot when I get home. writing it down now
[00:00] <ZenMasta> thanks
[00:01] <hiexpo> what is the differance on the 10.04 alternative and dexktop?
[00:01] <gordonjcp> if anyone's interested, what I did was boot the .iso image with qemu, with the whole disk I want to install onto a partition of as qemu's hard disk
[00:01] <jrib> RobotCow: start your own ppa :)  You can even have it automatically pull git and build the package for you
[00:01] <Irreducibilis> There's no way to pause an update?
[00:01] <gordonjcp> it's pretty slow but the installer is running now
[00:01] <bazhang> Irreducibilis, no
[00:01] <Irreducibilis> Damn.
[00:02] <gordonjcp> it's a shame it's not easier to just install Ubuntu from removable media
[00:02] <RobotCow> hiexpo, gui installer vs ncurses (debian installer) with more options for advanced users like setting up raid and/or LVM
[00:02] <Wiesshund> gordonjcp hmm? ubuntu installs from removable media
[00:02] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: how?
[00:02] <hiexpo> oh ok
[00:02] <jgcampbell300> hello, I am looking for a piece of software for ubuntu that will let me draw out a flowchart of my network i am building so i can visualize what i am about to do. Do any of you have any suggestions. Please keep in mind I am not looking for something extremely complex.
[00:02] <bidaboy> hi all,when i try to mount an ntfs partition i got this error msg : Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
[00:02] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: I've been trying to find accurate documentation on it all evening
[00:03] <Wiesshund> you can install it from cd or usb drive easily
[00:03] <brontoeee> jgcampbell300, maybe yed, its java app
[00:03] <greppy> jgcampbell300: look at dia
[00:03] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: there's no USB image availagle
[00:03] <rtdos_AFK> sorry guys, i was installing a script in xchat and didn't see that my preferences conflicted with the script. :">
[00:03] <gordonjcp> *available
[00:03] <Dangr_> Test
[00:03] <Dangr_> Ok that we go
[00:03] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: and just dd-ing the image to a USB stick doesn't appear to work for Ubuntu
[00:03] <jgcampbell300> thanks for the suggestions ... i will look them up now
[00:04] <Irreducibilis> What if my laptop goes to sleep on it's own when its updating? Will that screw it up too?
[00:04] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: I tried unetbootin but it was messy and confusing, and still didn't actually write anything resembling a bootable image to the USB stick
[00:04] <bazhang> Irreducibilis, it wont
[00:04] <Irreducibilis> I'm basically worried that I have to sit here and babysit it
[00:04] <Wiesshund> gordonjcp http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[00:04] <brontoeee> jgcampbell300, also there are some nice online sites that offer such software
[00:04] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: doesn't work
[00:04] <Irreducibilis> Oh okay.
[00:04] <trakinas> dodgy_script: if you have a ssh server, is possible. =P
[00:04] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: it doesn't actually produce anything that boots on any machine I've tried it in
[00:05] <DiamondSword> gordonjcp, you're trying to install ubuntu from the usb?
[00:05] <gordonjcp> DiamondSword: I *was*, but now I'm just doing something a bit evil with qemu
[00:06] <bidaboy> any suggestion ?
[00:06] <rostami> \exit
[00:06] <DiamondSword> gordonjcp, i installed this ubuntu from my usb today. and all was fine.
[00:06] <gordonjcp> DiamondSword: I didn't get anywhere with trying to put the Ubuntu installer on a USB stick
[00:06] <gordonjcp> DiamondSword: what did you use to copy it across?
[00:06] <rostami> quit
[00:06] <rostami> exit
[00:06] <DiamondSword> gordonjcp, you need to fist download the .iso file. did you?
[00:07] <gordonjcp> DiamondSword: yes, of course, that's what qemu has booted
[00:07] <dodgy_script> trakinas, wow whats that i mean how do you use it  i can ssh -X me@box2
[00:07] <agnostic> Question: What is a good Latex-Editor with preview for Lucid Lynx?
[00:07] <VCoolio> agnostic: gedit has a plugin which works fine; and gummi is ok
[00:08] <Wiesshund> gordonjcp does your system normal boot from the usb drive ok?
[00:08] <Wiesshund> normaly*
[00:08] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: how else would I install an OS?
[00:08] <DiamondSword> gordonjcp, go there http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download and follows the instructions at step 2.
[00:08] <DiamondSword> *follow
[00:08] <Wiesshund> gordonjcp cd?
[00:09] <DiamondSword> after that, gordonjcp, you just need to change it boot from usb in your bios at starting.
[00:09] <agnostic> VCoolio: I can not install gummi. It refers to old packages, which are not supported anymore :-(
[00:09] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: I can't remember the last time I saw a CD drive
[00:09] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: I wouldn't even know where to buy one
[00:09] <foolhardy> has anyone had any luck with iwconfig in ubuntu 10.10?
[00:09] <VCoolio> agnostic: package gedit-latex-plugin from universe repo, and gummi has seen a lot of updates lately, see if there is a repo for it or compile it
[00:10] <Wiesshund> gordonjcp hehe anyplace that sells computer hardware
[00:10] <foolhardy> ubuntu appears to recognize my card and have driver but I've gone through 2 iwconfig guides and I still can't pull an IP from my router
[00:10] <agnostic> VCoolio: repo?
[00:10] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: around here they just look at you funny and tell you to go back to ten years ago
[00:11] <VCoolio> agnostic: package database where the package manager gets the stuff from, you can add more, for example from launchpad.net
[00:11] <hiexpo> hmm
[00:11] <Wiesshund> gordonjcp heh ask them how would they then chose to install retail software and operating systems etc.
[00:11] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: I don't understand
[00:11] <dodgy_script> foolhardy, install arp-scan
[00:11] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, thanks
[00:12] <ubun> does anyone know how to restore default ubuntu 10.10 fonts
[00:12] <agnostic> VCoolio. I chanched the source according to a tutorial. (first it didnt now gummi at all) But then it said, that the packages on which it depends, are to old.
[00:12] <hiexpo> busy today
[00:12] <Wiesshund> gordonjcp you buy er say Halo (just agree) it comes on a disc, you buy windows it comes on a disc, you buy ubuntu (yea you can buy a hard copy) it comes on a disk
[00:12] <VCoolio> agnostic: https://launchpad.net/~gummi/+archive/gummi
[00:13] <hiexpo> these colors are a pain on xchat
[00:13] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: oh, okay
[00:13] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: I've no idea, I don't really know anything about Windows
[00:14] <VCoolio> agnostic: also there are pdf viewers that refresh pdf's if they changed, which results in a preview-like experience; evince also does that, so then any editor will do
[00:14] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: I suppose I thought they must just netboot the machines or something
[00:14] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: it's not really something I've thought about
[00:14] <agnostic> VCoolio: Evince?
[00:15] <dodgy_script> foolhardy, sudo arp-scan -I wlan0 -l
[00:15] <I_C_Wiener> hey people, i cant add or delet anything on my mp3 player, ist mounted properly, icant even do anything as root
[00:16] <VCoolio> agnostic: aka 'document viewer' which is a ridiculous name, but anyway
[00:16] <gordonjcp> Wiesshund: surely manufacturers don't sit with a CD and install computers one at a time like that?
[00:16] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: How did you mount it?
[00:16] <I_C_Wiener> i plug it in
[00:16] <DiamondSword> my archive manager can't open .rar files, where do i go wrong? any ideas?
[00:16] <I_C_Wiener> pugged*
[00:16] <I_C_Wiener> lol
[00:16] <agnostic> VCoolio: Strangely, I could install gummi now. But i don't know why^^ I didnt chanche anything....
[00:16] <agnostic> VCoolio: But thanks ;-)
[00:17] <agnostic> *change
[00:17] <x_> can anyone help with spdif on ubuntu 10.10?
[00:17] <jrib> !rar | DiamondSword
[00:17] <I_C_Wiener> @soeau /dev/sdb on /media/ARCHOS type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush)
[00:17] <Wiesshund> gordonjcp no, but then niether does the average pc owner have the cash to set up a mass imager in his house, but he can afford a disc drive
[00:17] <eross> hey, i have windoze on another harddrive (instead of the C: master drive), how can I set up grub to boot from either harddrive instead of going into the BIOS and switching the harddrive position?
[00:17] <VCoolio> agnostic: check the link anyway, you may like a newer version of gummi with new features, check the homepage
[00:17] <DiamondSword> jrib, This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates.
[00:17] <greppy> !ot > Wiesshund
[00:17] <I_C_Wiener> @soreau /dev/sdb on /media/ARCHOS type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush)
[00:17] <jrib> DiamondSword: delete the '.' at the end...
[00:17] <DiamondSword> ah.
[00:18] <agnostic> VCoolio: It's what I did before according to a german manuall ;-)
[00:18] <trojan_spike> any1 know of a good stress test?? Graphics and cpu?
[00:18] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: Try remounting it but use no args like sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/ARCHOS
[00:18] <agnostic> VCoolio: It's the newest version :-)
[00:18] <I_C_Wiener> did so didnt help
[00:18] <DiamondSword> jrib, it says "Archive type not supported"
[00:19] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: What are your permissions on /media/ARCHOS dir?
[00:19] <I_C_Wiener> dunno, how to check
[00:19] <jrib> what is "it" in your sentence?
[00:19] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: Did you check dmesg output for any interesting messages?
[00:19] <I_C_Wiener> nope
[00:19] <I_C_Wiener> dont even know what dmesg is
[00:19] <KipMacy> how does the Alternate CD manage to put /boot on an encrypted partition if i want it to?
[00:19] <protie> dodgy... is armscan anything like wifiscan? Had problems with that one
[00:20] <Wiesshund> eross sudo update-grub should see windows on the other partition and add it to the boot menu automaticaly
[00:20] <protie> arp that is
[00:20] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: dmesg is a command to output your system log to terminal. See sys>admin>log file viewer
[00:20] <r0dy4> exit
[00:21] <eross> thanks Wiesshund :)
[00:21] <DiamondSword> jrib, it = archive manager
[00:22] <I_C_Wiener> @sorau [  379.727843] FAT: Filesystem error (dev sdb)
[00:22] <I_C_Wiener> [  379.727848]     fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0)
[00:22] <I_C_Wiener> [  379.727852] FAT: Filesystem has been set read-only
[00:22] <I_C_Wiener> [  381.314556] FAT: Filesystem error (dev sdb)
[00:22] <I_C_Wiener> [  381.314561]     fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0)
[00:22] <jrib> DiamondSword: did you do what ubottu's link told you to do in order to view rar files in archive manager?
[00:22] <FloodBot2> I_C_Wiener: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:22] <I_C_Wiener> all the time
[00:22] <I_C_Wiener> -.-
[00:22] <DiamondSword> yes. i clicked on "Extract Here" and not worked and i double-clicked and not worked.
[00:22] <Rave1> I thought removing indicator-me via synaptic would remove the envelope on the panel     it did not    I have ubuntu 10.04 installed
[00:23] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: Have you tried mounting it in any other OS or are you sure the file system is not corrupt on the device?
[00:23] <I_C_Wiener> did ou get anything?
[00:23] <jrib> DiamondSword: no.  Read the section on Rar files: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression#Rar%20(.rar)
[00:23] <I_C_Wiener> the mp3 player works fine
[00:23] <I_C_Wiener> no other os yet tried
[00:24] <I_C_Wiener> @soreau, [  381.314561]     fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0) thats what im geting
[00:24] <dodgy_script> protie,  arp-scan is a low level scan should work !
[00:24] <DiamondSword> so jrib, i need to download "unrar free" package? but i don't know how to..
[00:25] <gordonjcp> ah, white on black terminal again, I was beginning to think my monitor was failing
[00:25] <bazhang> DiamondSword, from the repos
[00:25] <DiamondSword> repos?
[00:25] <greppy> DiamondSword: using aptitude or apt-get
[00:25] <bazhang> !software | DiamondSword
[00:25] <greppy> DiamondSword: or whatever package manager you are using.
[00:25] <protie> thanks dodgy
[00:25] <jrib> DiamondSword: you probably want the "unrar" package.  Not "unrar-free".  The link explains why.  You install them using an APT frontend like synaptic or Add/Remove programs
[00:25] <bazhang> !manual | DiamondSword read this
[00:26] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: Try this: sudo umount /dev/sdb && sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb -a -w
[00:26] <x_> iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
[00:26] <x_>  wont work for me....
[00:26] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, what would be the command to install arp-scan?
[00:26] <I_C_Wiener> and?
[00:27] <I_C_Wiener> sudo umount /dev/sdb && sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb -a -w
[00:27] <I_C_Wiener> sry
[00:27] <I_C_Wiener> FATs differ but appear to be intact. Using first FAT.
[00:27] <foolhardy> nvm, got it dodgy_script
[00:28] <DrDeathly> how do I access a network file server from ubuntu?
[00:28] <dodgy_script> foolhardy, you can just type  arp  on its own  i think give you your ip
[00:29] <DrDeathly> NAS
[00:29] <gordonjcp> okay, I give in, where does Ubuntu keep its startup sound and gdm "ready" sound?
[00:29] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, after running that command I don't have an IP
[00:29] <foolhardy> access point: not-associated
[00:29] <induz> why i get this http://i.imgur.com/mNlZg.png
[00:30] <I_C_Wiener> @soreau, - random/file Contains a free cluster (608000). Assuming EOF.
[00:30] <gordonjcp> found you! time to apply some accurately-aimed rm -rf lovin'
[00:30] <induz> is there some problem with sun java http://i.imgur.com/Kxfby.png
[00:30] <induz> I have java insytlled
[00:30] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,  are you connected to a network
[00:31] <induz> java is installed
[00:31] <adamkex> how can i do "control alt f1" in virtualbox?
[00:31] <induz> but i get this http://i.imgur.com/Kxfby.png
[00:31] <soreau> gordonjcp: /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg for the login sound
[00:31] <foolhardy> i'm not yet. I guess I need to connect to it then run arp-scan dodgy_script ?
[00:31] <jgcampbell300> is there a command apt-get *something* to find a program
[00:31] <adamkex> i only end up in the virtual terminal of the host
[00:31] <jrib> jgcampbell300: apt-cache searhc
[00:31] <adamkex> jpds: aptitude search
[00:31] <jrib> jgcampbell300: apt-cache search
[00:31] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: After it's finished, remount the drive and try again
[00:31] <gordonjcp> soreau: yup, found it, now I just need to find and rm that damned annoying conga slap that gdm has
[00:31] <jrib> !apt | jgcampbell300
[00:31] <jgcampbell300> thank you
[00:31] <jrib> adamkex: try #vbox
[00:32] <I_C_Wiener> @soreau fixed it ty
[00:32] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,  yep indeed you need to be connected for an ip !
[00:32] <blocky> so I've got a problem with the nVidia X control panel, I've enabled an external display on my laptop in twinview, and it's working fine except it's not allowing the offset of the second screen(it's higher than the other)
[00:32] <soreau> I_C_Wiener: :)
[00:33] <gordonjcp> soreau: unfortunately I've found that sound control panels are unreliable and some things still insist on making wee beeps and bloops despite setting "no sounds"
[00:33] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, i can join a network but I can't get an IP
[00:33] <soreau> gordonjcp: I can't find the bongos audio file
[00:33] <soreau> gordonjcp: Yes I noticed that as well
[00:33] <gordonjcp> soreau: yeah, might be a .wav instead of .ogg?
[00:33] <soreau> anything is possible
[00:33] <gordonjcp> soreau: my PC is frequently hooked up to radio equipment - I don't want it to *ever* make a sound that I haven't explicitly told it to ;-)
[00:33] <soreau> ah indeed o.O
[00:34] <x_> so no one knows anything about spdif in here huh?
[00:34] <gordonjcp> soreau: I actually ran a wee contest for some software I wrote, for software-defined radio
[00:34] <gordonjcp> x_: it very much depends what you want to know
[00:34] <gordonjcp> soreau: "Find the Windows Bong"
[00:34] <x_> gordonjcp, why mine doesn't work I really need someone to help me out
[00:34] <soreau> ! work | x_
[00:34] <trakinas> does anyone here ever used javafx to play h264?
[00:35] <gordonjcp> soreau: somewhere in a ten-minute recording of a 48kHz-wide chunk of the 7MHz amateur band, there were three distinct Windows <Choonk> error bonks
[00:35] <stefanos90> hello, which programm should i use to build a site? like frontpage? ubuntu
[00:35] <soreau> gordonjcp: nice :p
[00:35] <gordonjcp> stefanos90: gedit!
[00:35] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,  have you got an ip when you use network tools
[00:35] <foolhardy> I haven't tried "network tools" -- sudo network tools ?
[00:35] <x_> soreau, no output from my spdif with it set to default pcm in alsamixer and everything unmuted, I however do not have a volume slider on iec958 just a mute unmute... realtek alc888
[00:35] <ha-ny> hola, estoy intentando eliminar un controlador y me da este error: SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[00:36] <gordonjcp> soreau: sound card to transmitter, transmitter set to VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) so when you start sending data it keys the transmitter
[00:36] <Pici> !es | ha-ny
[00:36] <blocky> lol, so apparently ctrl + L clears the buffer in xchat... I thought chrome had the focus
[00:36] <trakinas> ha-ny: #ubutnu-es
[00:36] <ha-ny> oh sorry i thought i was in ubuntu-es
[00:36] <ha-ny> sorry
[00:36] <gordonjcp> x_: typically spdif wouldn't have a volume control
[00:36] <stefanos90> gordonjcp , no i am not so expert, i need sth with graphics
[00:36] <x_> gordonjcp, well I get no output to my receiver with coax or optical.
[00:36] <trakinas> blocky: I always type exit (without / ) to disconnect.
[00:36] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,  i mean the gui interface in administration menu
[00:36] <gordonjcp> x_: are you sure the thing you're plugging into is receiving sp/dif correctly?
[00:36] <soreau> ha-ny: You need to close all other package managers such as synaptic and update manager
[00:37] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, no gui
[00:37] <foolhardy> just cli
[00:37] <x_> gordonjcp, its a 7.1 amp. it should be fine. optical isn't showing any red light out of the wire on ubuntu anyway.
[00:37] <foolhardy> basically, I'm just trying to setup a wifi connection via the cli
[00:37] <foolhardy> with wpa
[00:37] <gordonjcp> stefanos90: it's actually pretty easy once you get your head round it, and if you code them by hand your sites will be faster and not suck
[00:37] <x_> gordonjcp, my cable box spdif works fine on the same amp
[00:37] <soreau> foolhardy: You want to use wpa_supplicant then
[00:37] <gordonjcp> x_: sounds like your s/pdif output isn't even enabled
[00:37] <foolhardy> arp-scan just returned about 5 pages
[00:37] <foolhardy> wpa_supplicant
[00:38] <x_> gordonjcp, my bios only has settings for onboard audio on / off
[00:38] <gordonjcp> x_: all I can suggest is hitting Google for information about your card
[00:38] <x_> gordonjcp, I have and all I find is other people with the same issues, I posted on the forums too no reply.
[00:38] <gordonjcp> x_: maybe it's badly supported then
 i dont know php.. i am studing other languages is any programm?
[00:38] <x_> gordonjcp, every pc pretty much comes with realtek/intel hd audio though ...
[00:38] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, "sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant" can't find package
[00:39] <gordonjcp> x_: from experience, stereo s/pdif is usually okay but trying to get multi-channel working is ridiculous
[00:39] <x_> gordonjcp, I might just be missing something stupid but I dont think so since I can get hdmi to work by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa
[00:39] <gordonjcp> x_: it's something I'm going to look into later, for some of my audio work
[00:39] <Rypervenche> If I start to run out of hard drive space, will it slow down my Ubuntu system like it does on Windows?
[00:40] <x_> gordonjcp, are you an audio dev on ubuntu{
[00:40] <trakinas> stefanos90: PHP is easy to learn. and html + css is simple and your code will be much more clean and clear if you code your self. is really simple.
[00:40] <Toxicsgz> Any idea why the linuxmint 10 and ubuntu 10.10 installers cannot find my HD when my Ubuntu 9.04 installer sees it clear as day?
[00:40] <gordonjcp> x_: I'm an audio dev, but I mostly work on Arch Linux
[00:40] <gordonjcp> x_: I don't like pulseaudio much, though
[00:40] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,  what is it that you are trying to do?  im guessing your on the net !
[00:40] <x_> gordonjcp, ive tried alsa too and it didn't work. I don't get this at all
[00:41] <gordonjcp> you know what, I'm going to kick off an upgrade to 10.10
[00:41] <stefanos90> trakinas, i am in univeristy and we haveexams.. i cant start it now
[00:41] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, i've got a separate box with a light ubuntu install (xbmc live). I'm just trying to get it to connect to my wlan
[00:41] <foolhardy> it has wpa
[00:41] <foolhardy> and I only have the cli, no gui
[00:42] <x_> gordonjcp, Im hoping I dont have to really go to windows 7 to get spdif this is a shame.
[00:42] <trakinas> stefanos90: for what reason do you want to build this webpage? but to answer your question, I think komposer may suit your needs.
[00:42] <gordonjcp> x_: I have no idea how sound works in Windows, I've never used it
[00:42] <trakinas> is not a dreamweaver-like, but definitely can do what frontpage can.
[00:43] <Rypervenche> If I start to run out of hard drive space, will it slow down my Ubuntu system like it does on Windows?
 i will start studing php and just want to test some ffree servers.. thank you will try
[00:43] <Wiesshund> x_ what audio card do you have?
[00:43] <gordonjcp> x_: I tried XP but my soundcard wasn't supported, so I gave up on it until I have more time
[00:44] <x_> Wiesshund, alc888 realtek/intel hd
[00:44] <trakinas> Rypervenche: probably not.
[00:44] <x_> Wiesshund, shows up as alc887-vd in ubuntu though.
 it is kompozer.. :)
[00:44] <Wiesshund> x_ is it an onboard?
[00:44] <x_> Wiesshund, yea on a brand new gigabyte i3 mobo
[00:45] <trakinas> Rypervenche: if Im not wrong, windows become slower because of the pagination file. since you have a separate partition with your swap, I *think* it won't be slower.
[00:45] <dodgy_script> foolhardy, no x then lol ... is dhclient installed ?
[00:45] <Wiesshund> Rypervenche running out of disk space doesnt really do any OS much favors. but if you have swap on a spearate partition it should keep running ok
[00:45] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, I have tried running it and i get returned "no working leases in persistent database - sleeping"
[00:46] <Diamondcite> trakinas: If the swap partition is on the same disk as the OS, it will still have some effects if swap is used alot.
[00:46] <trakinas> Diamondcite: I thought so, but OS is not my speciality. thanks
[00:46] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, but iwconfig shows that I have the correct network and pass and all configured
[00:46] <jgcampbell300> I am thinking of setting up a linux server to run a media server, deluged, and a few other smaller servers ... my question is would ubuntu server be a good os to use or should i be looking for a less resource intensive solution ?
[00:47] <Rypervenche> Wiesshund: Ok, thank you.
[00:47] <dodgy_script> foolhardy, but no ip address
[00:47] <greppy> jgcampbell300: if you install ubuntu server it should be fine, I use it to serve up movies on my home network.
[00:48] <Wiesshund> x_ it doesnt look like that audio solution has exactly full capabilities in ubuntu, least not yet
[00:48] <foolhardy> how can I check for an ip dodgy_script ? - what is the cli's ipconfig
[00:48] <Diamondcite> Rypervenche: Ubuntu might work a little better than windows, as Wiesshund stated, swap is on another partition, so running out of disk space won't hurt much, system will keep running. Since linux has reserved 5% of each partition for itself for CRITICAL tasks, even when you run out of useable diskspace, important information is still being stored and written, unlike windows which stops ^_^
[00:48] <greppy> foolhardy: ifconfig
[00:48] <x_> Wiesshund, so thats why my spdif doesn't work? and can you tell me where you figured that out
[00:49] <dodgy_script> foolhardy, ifconfig , or iwconfig
[00:49] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, I have no ip on wlan0
[00:49] <foolhardy> -only on eth0
[00:49] <jgcampbell300> greppy: what kind of hardware are you running it on, the box I have available is 1ghz, 512Mb, 10/100 x3
[00:50] <Rypervenche> Diamondcite: Ah ok, I still ihave about 20 GB left, I was just curious if I should be worried or if I can still use up some more space without worrying too much about performance.
[00:50] <dodgy_script> type   ifconfig
[00:50] <Diamondcite> Rypervenche: Well then, to put your mind at ease, I've run my /home to 0bytes left 4 times since this month started ^_^
[00:50] <greppy> jgcampbell300: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+, which is 1ghz with 1 gig of ram.
[00:51] <trakinas> Diamondcite: 400MB here. almost there!
[00:51] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, after ifconfig I show no inet addr for wlan0
[00:52] <jgcampbell300> greppy: do you see many problems with 1G memory and do you think 512 would do it ?
[00:53] <kanja1> I just used dist-upgrade to update my system from jaunty to natty - I'm trying to apt-get python-virtuanenv, but it's getting placed in my old (python2.6) python version - env python is spitting out 2.7. Is this is a problem with env giving me the wrong version or with apt get installing to the wrong location
[00:53] <oddtod> greppy: Heyo greppy
[00:53] <Wiesshund> x_ have you tried looking at the alsa commandline mixer?
[00:53] <greppy> jgcampbell300: depends on what you are going to do with it, I haven't had any problems with my setup streaming .ISO of dvd's using vlc.
[00:54] <x_> Wiesshund, alsamixer ?
[00:54] <nishttal2> how do i completely remove apparmor
[00:54] <Wiesshund> x_ in terminal run alsamixer
[00:55] <nishttal2> anyone?
[00:55] <kanja1> looking at launchpad, the default python version is 2.7 - so apt is placing the installed python files into the wrong place. Does anyone know how I can control that?
[00:55] <Wiesshund> x_ see if you have an option to enable device IEC958 or similar
[00:55] <x_> Wiesshund, yea, I know how trust me :\ iec958 is unmuted and set to default pcm everything else is unmuted too..
[00:55] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,  what is the name of your connection wlan0 or eth0
[00:55] <foolhardy> wlan0
[00:55] <jgcampbell300> greppy: i have not had much luck streaming so far ... i have been using my ubuntu desktop runing mediatomb and converting my dvds to avi to save space ... but it seems to freezing problems from time to time
[00:56] <Wiesshund> x_ in alsa mixer or ?
[00:56] <x_> Wiesshund, yea alsamixer
[00:56] <induz>  how can i repo for Sun-Report-Builder
[00:56] <x_> Wiesshund, and Im using the green jack.
[00:56] <induz> on Lucid
[00:56] <melkor> Has anybody here successfully installed gnome 3 ?
[00:57] <greppy> jgcampbell300: ah, I just used dd to make images of my dvd's and share them out using samba
[00:57] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, wlan0
[00:57] <induz> I get this  Conflicts: openoffice.org-java-common (>=1:3.2.0.1) but 1:3.2.1-6ubuntu2~10.04.1 is to be installed
[00:57] <greppy> jgcampbell300: I bought 2 2T drives to hold dvd isos :)
[00:57] <drahx> hey guys, how can I remove display drivers?
[00:58] <bsmith093> i have a vostro 1710 dell laptop and every so often my touchpad wont respond on startup, usually rebooting fixes it, but i found a fix for the grub kernel config i8042.reset but where do i put it in lucid?
[00:58] <jgcampbell300> greppy: what watch your movies on ... I have been using my ps3
[00:58] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,   did you follow the instructions to set it up
[00:58] <greppy> jgcampbell300: my desktop or laptop or the asus eee pc plugged into the tv.
[00:58] <drahx> I use a tablet to stream movies in bed :-)
[00:58] <foolhardy> instructions? I missed a link if you posted one
[00:58] <foolhardy> dodgy_script,
[00:59] <foolhardy> ^
[00:59] <jgcampbell300> greppy: I see, maybe my problem is with the ps3 its self. I think before I go any further I will hook my notebook up to the tv and see how it handles. Thank you for your Input.
[00:59] <drahx> Any ideas on how I can remove my ATI drivers?
[00:59] <Wiesshund> x_ i see people running that audio chip in mythbuntu and studio, but not vanilla, you might try asking around one of those channels
[00:59] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,  is it for windows / mac/ or what?
[01:00] <melkor> drahx which version?
[01:00] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, I don't understand. I have a light ubuntu install. no windows, no mac. I'm trying to get my wifi card to connect to my wlan. iwconfig shows that the card's drivers are installed
[01:00] <Wiesshund> drahx system > admin > hardware drivers
[01:01] <foolhardy> dodgy_script, how can I tell if I'm connected to the wlan and not receiving an ip vs not connectedt o the wlan at all?
[01:01] <x_> Wiesshund, according to the realtek driver dl for linux this chip works, and my analog out works
[01:02] <melkor> foolhardy: you need to set the ssid to your wireless ssid.
[01:02] <melkor> foolhardy: there is not really a 'connected without an ip state'
[01:02] <foolhardy> melkor, I have the essid set
[01:02] <foolhardy> need I also set ssid?
[01:02] <Wiesshund> x_ have you tried any of these kinds of fixes? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1084436
[01:02] <dodgy_script> foolhardy,  your not connected!
[01:03] <melkor> foolhardy: is it an encrypted network?
[01:03] <foolhardy> melkor, yes, wpa
[01:03] <melkor> foolhardy: then you will need to use wpa_supplicant.
[01:03] <myradlife_> What is the meaning of "gethostby*.getanswer:" in /var/log/auth.log?  here is an example http://pastebin.com/4mMD0gYY
[01:03] <melkor> foolhardy: you are using completely cmd line?
[01:04] <foolhardy> melkor, i asked about that a while ago. how do I install that? sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant returns couldn't find package wpa_supplicant. Yes, I am only cli
[01:04] <greppy> foolhardy: after doing a "apt-cache search wpa" I came up with "wpasupplicant" try that instead.
[01:05] <melkor> foolhardy: you need the repo to get wpa_supplicant, if it is on the cd then put the cd in, or you need to connect to the internet.
[01:05] <x_> Wiesshund, the bottom post and reboot ?
[01:05] <foolhardy> ok, i aparently already have wpasupplicant installed
[01:05] <greppy> foolhardy: there is also wicd-cli and wicd-curses, never used it, or wpasupplicant for that matter ,but it might help.
[01:06] <foolhardy> how does one use wpasupplicant?
[01:06] <melkor> foolhardy: so you can run wpa_supplicant?  (don run it but see if it is there.)
[01:06] <Wiesshund> x_ the post where the guy showed how he was modding his alsa setup manualy
[01:06] <foolhardy> melkor, "wpasupplicant is already the newest version"
[01:06] <x_> Wiesshund, which one?
[01:06] <melkor> foolhardy: then you need to create a config file.
[01:07] <foolhardy> melkor, ok. to do that I need to use nano or vi?
[01:07] <melkor> foolhardy: I have used wicd and it was real easy, but I did not use the wicd-curses, but it could be easy
[01:08] <melkor> foolhardy: choose your poison, nano is easiest.
[01:08] <Wiesshund> x_ yes last post on that page
[01:08] <x_> Wiesshund, ok ill try it thanks
[01:09] <melkor> foolhardy: you need to run wpa_passphrase
[01:10] <foolhardy> is that something I need to install also melko?
[01:10] <foolhardy> melkor, ?
[01:10] <melkor> foolhardy: it will give you instructions.  It should have come with wpa supplicant.
[01:12] <melkor> foolhardy: try to install the wicd-curses, that is a cmd line program for setting up your wireless.  You should be able to just type in your ssid and your passphrase without making a config file.
[01:12] <akagi82> is there a japan channel i can join?
[01:12] <foolhardy> melkor, after using wpa_passphrase should it connect automatically?
[01:13] <wedwo-> akagi82, #ubuntu-jp
[01:13] <melkor> foolhardy: no that converts you passphrase to a psk that you use in your .conf file
[01:13] <akagi82> wedwo ty
[01:13] <foolhardy> melkor, i'll try to find wicd-curses
[01:14] <protie> foolhardy - what system did you install this on?
[01:14] <foolhardy> protie, system - hardware dell gx280
[01:15] <digitalfiz> hey guys ive install apache2 and the php5 and i did a2enmod php5 but when i try to check out a php page in my browser it tries to download the php file
[01:15] <melkor> foolhardy: http://www.pastie.org/1479315 that is my wpa conf file.
[01:15] <digitalfiz> this normally works flawlessly for me but its not now
[01:15] <protie> ok was wondering. I had the exact same prob but different system
[01:15] <greppy> digitalfiz: did you restart apache?
[01:15] <jrib> !lamp > digitalfiz
[01:15] <digitalfiz> yes
[01:15] <jrib> digitalfiz: follow the troubleshooting steps on that wiki page for that issue
[01:15] <foolhardy> melkor, i've got wicd-curses installed. how do you run it?
[01:16] <digitalfiz> ty jrib
[01:16] <melkor> foolhardy: type wicd and press tab
[01:17] <foolhardy> melkor, tab returns wicd and wicd-curses
[01:17] <protie> I ended up having to do a full reinstall, sucks yeah, but been good ever since
[01:17] <melkor> foolhardy: run wicd-curses then.
[01:17] <melkor> foolhardy: curses is a cmd line 'gui'
[01:18] <foolhardy> melkor, I see. seems useful
[01:18] <foolhardy> says "obtaining ip address ... /"
[01:18] <foolhardy> but I haven't entered key yet
[01:18] <digitalfiz> jrib, just realized its only downloading files when they are in ~userdirs i think i might be able to fix that
[01:18] <melkor> foolhardy: I don't know I haven't used it before.
[01:19] <protie> it will prob pop up that key is incorrect after a min or so
[01:19] <protie> even though thats not its prob (even with correct key it would still give that error)]
[01:21] <melkor> foolhardy: if that does not work, you can create a wpa_supplicant.conf file, and then run wpa_supplicant and it should work.
[01:21] <foolhardy> where does the wpa_supplicant.conf file go?
[01:21] <foolhardy> -location
[01:22] <DiamondSword> Good night.
[01:22] <melkor> foolhardy: where ever you like.
[01:23] <melkor> foolhardy: did you see the paste I made?  You should be able to make a file with that information.
[01:24] <foolhardy> I did. I'm trying to get wpa-curses to work. If not I'll try the manual route
[01:24] <fft_> anyone here good with labview?
[01:25] <melkor> http://www.pastie.org/1479340 < that is how I run my wpa_supplicant you might have to change the interface name.
[01:26] <guampa> i don't undestand, why dpkg -l reports i have libreadline 6.1 while ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash has readline up to 5.1 ?
[01:26] <liam> I want to configure a pop mail server so that I can receive email as the postmaster through thunderbird... This will mean I receive all email that goes through it. I have set up an smtp server (postfix) and I can send mail as postmaster. I have installed dovecot but I don't know how to configure it to use a root/postmaster account. Does anyone know how to do this?
[01:27] <guampa> *understand
[01:27] <pwnmonkey> hurray irssi worked =)
[01:28] <greppy> liam: postmaster is usually an alias, take a look at /etc/aliases
[01:28] <liam> greppy: that dir doesnt exist...
[01:28] <greppy> liam: it's a file
[01:28] <melkor> Is there a way I can get the updated to quit installing new .32 kernels?
[01:29] <liam> greppy: ok I see its an alias for root
[01:29] <greppy> liam: you can then alias root to whatever user account you want, voila, you get all the mail.
[01:30] <GreekPimpSlap> ps3dev
[01:31] <trism> guampa: perhaps you should look at ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline which has 6.1
[01:31] <wolter> how do I make my terminal make a sound with the bell?
[01:31] <guampa> trism: thanks, would this mean that bash is linked only to readline 6?
[01:33] <sagaci> wolter: \a
[01:33] <wolter> ?
[01:34] <sagaci> wolter: type \a into a terminal
[01:34] <wolter> \a yields a: command not found
[01:34] <wolter>  /a yields bash: /a: No such file or directory
[01:35] <wolter> I do have a visual bell, compiz's, but no sound
[01:35] <trism> guampa: I don't know
[01:35] <guampa> ok, thanks
[01:36] <foolhardy> melkor, is the encrypted psk required or can I have it unencrypted?
[01:39] <JackyAlcine> !coc
[01:40] <melkor> foolhardy: I use it "encrypted" but maybe there is an argument.

[01:55] <xangua> Lavaeagle: and why not install mysqk from repository¿
[01:56] <BennyBoyBoise> I've installed it onto an old laptop
[01:56] <BennyBoyBoise> and want to be able to close the lid
[01:56] <BennyBoyBoise> short of installing gnome and X and such
[01:56] <Lavaeagle> xangua: I have mysql++ installed.
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> BennyBoyBoise: why didnt you install the desktop OS if you wanted a desktop OS?
[01:57] <BennyBoyBoise> good point
[01:57] <Lavaeagle> xangua: I had to makefile it.  However I don't understand how to make geany understand where the include file is.
[01:57] <BennyBoyBoise> this has just been really hard to find anywhere - and it is the last thing I need to do to this server
[01:58] <BennyBoyBoise> I very well might install gnome - was just hoping the masters would have the quick and easy command
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> BennyBoyBoise: http://askubuntu.com/questions/3179/closing-lid-freezes-laptop
[01:58] <Lavaeagle> With $ wget http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/releases/mysql++-3.0.9.tar.gz I have configured and make'd' it

[01:59] <liam> if I change an alias in /etc/aliases do I need to restart the computer to get the other programs to pick it up? i.e. courier-pop
[02:00] <BennyBoyBoise> yeah - that's what I found earlier - it affects gnome power management though - which isn't installed.
[02:00] <BennyBoyBoise> bah - I will just install gnome
[02:00] <BennyBoyBoise> thank you action

[02:09] <amh345> does the latest edition of ubuntu server install with wireless adapters?
[02:09] <ryanf109> Hi all. I've got Ubuntu installed but I'm planning on installing windows 7. I've ran into problems with it removing GRUB before but is there a way to avoid this in the first place? If not what is the solution?
[02:10] <KM0201> !grub2 | ryanakca follow the insstructions after your windows install...
[02:10] <melkor> Lavaeagle: are you creating your make file manually?
[02:10] <xangua> ryanf109: install windows first next time
[02:10] <Lavaeagle> reading...
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> amh345: depends on the chip
[02:10] <ryanf109> xangua, It's to try and improve my understanding of the whole concept.
[02:11] <ryanf109> KM0201, thanks.
[02:11] <amh345> ActionParsnip: past versions of ubuntu seemed to have installed with it. but this latest one looks like it hasnt.  i'm resintalling again, just to ensure i did it right.. but incase it doesnt install again, is there a bundle for wireless drivers i can apt-get?
[02:12] <FloridaGuy> i did ( do-release-upgrade -d )   there at the end it said 26 package need remove... to continue ( Y ) ( N ) or ( D ) for details...so i hit ( D ) to see what packages were being removed..and it wouldent let me get back to press ( Y ) to continue...so now if i do (do-release-upgrade -d ) i get no new release found...so its not leting me finsh the job...and sudo apt-get upgrade...finds nothing.....so i do i make it finsh the job....??
[02:12] <gnewb> ryanf109: Here> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html :That may help a bit...
[02:13] <^Mike\b> Should emesene 1.6.3 support webcams? I can't get it to send video to my friend, nor vice versa.
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> amh345: maybe: linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic or if you are installing server      linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-server
[02:13] <rambam> Are we moving toward 1000 instead of 1024? What are the latest news on that?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> amh345: obviously change the release name if necessary
[02:13] <Lavaeagle> melkor: I am clicking compile in geany.  If thats what you mean by manually
[02:14] <Lavaeagle> I'm going to try in the terminal
[02:14] <ubuntu> Can someone walk me through installing ubuntu?
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> ^Mike\b: should do, does the cam work in cheese?
[02:14] <xangua> ^Mike\b: maybe if both use emesene, for videochat i better use skype
[02:14] <amh345> ActionParsnip: thank you
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTUoAoyjSM8
[02:14] <xangua> ubuntu burn it, set your bios to boot from cd, boot it, install it
[02:15] <^Mike\b> ActionParsnip: Yes -- and it can show my my own video in the "webcam" tab of the Preferences window
[02:15] <gnewb> FloridaGuy: Have you tried the Repair at Boot option?
[02:15] <^Mike\b> ActionParsnip: It just doesn't turn on when using it in a chat
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> ^Mike\b: try amsn maybe
[02:16] <melkor> Lavaeagle: I haven't used geany for compiling c++.
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: remember to MD5 test the ISO before using it
[02:16] <^Mike\b> ActionParsnip: but... it should work O_o :(
[02:16] <ubuntu> Im running through jumpdrive right now
[02:16] <Lavaeagle> melkor: Even when I run g++ out of the terminal I get an error

[02:16] <Lavaeagle> diederdas.cpp:1:34: error: /usr/include/mysql++.h: No such file or directory
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ^Mike\b: yes it SHOULD but you need to see if it's emesene specific, then you have identified an issue#
[02:16] <Lavaeagle> I was using g++
[02:17] <Lavaeagle> For some reason g++ is unable to see where /usr/include/mysql++.h is.
[02:17] <FloridaGuy> gnewb: no....i dont get no options at boot....everytime i reboot..all i see is black screen until my desktop pops up
[02:17] <FloridaGuy> everything runing good...just dident get 20+ package removed
[02:18] <gnewb> FloridaGuy: There is a keystroke that pulls that up, I forgot it, what version are you on now?
[02:18] <ubuntu> I need to partition my hard drive to have room for a swap partition.
[02:18] <wyclif> hey all
[02:19] <Adnana> http://bux4ad.com/_2ba3a196.htm
[02:19] <ubuntu> Along with everything else but I already have 4 primary partitions, and its not letting me add anymore.
[02:19] <Lavaeagle> ubuntu: What is your question?
[02:19] <apporc> Hi my friends ,what is a user cpu time.
[02:19] <ubuntu> Honestly I dont know what Im doing.
[02:20] <Lavaeagle> apporc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_%28Unix%29
[02:20] <ubuntu> I need to shrink my 4th Partiton (Data) and turn it into three partitions(root, swap, and home)
[02:20] <gnewb> FloridaGuy: This one is for 8.04,,still looking> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/rescue.html
[02:20] <apporc> Lavaeagle:thank you.
[02:20] <Lavaeagle> ubuntu: use the gparted on the live disc or use "sudo apt-get install gparted"
[02:21] <ubuntu> Well when I shrink the Data partition it says I cant make any new partitions because I already have 4 primary partitions.
[02:21] <jrmcm> I need help with an external hd. I have gotten it formated into ext3, but when i mount it, its owned by root and I dont have write permission on it. How can i fix this?
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: you'll need to delete one and make an extended partition, then make new logical partitions in the extended partition. You will lose the data on the partition but you can then have more partitions
[02:22] <JackyAlcine> jrmcm: sudo nautilus <path-to-root-drive-folder>
[02:22] <JackyAlcine> And then jrmcm: right click and edit permissions.
[02:22] <Lavaeagle> I keep getting this error: g++ -Wall -c "diederdas.cpp" (in directory: /home/michael/Projects/diederdas)
[02:22] <Lavaeagle> diederdas.cpp:1:34: error: /usr/include/mysql++.h: No such file or directory

[02:22] <jrmcm> ok thx. :)
[02:23] <peterkirn> In adding my primary login id to another group, I believe I somehow removed my account from the sudoers / root. I now can't authenticate via su or sudo. Is there a way to restore root privs?
[02:23] <Lavaeagle> I am trying to inlcude mysql++ and I am unable to include it.
[02:23] <ubuntu> But all of those partitions I need.  One is Windows 7, one is System, and the other is bios.
[02:23] <ubuntu> (Honestly don't know what system is)
[02:24] <Lavaeagle> ubuntu: bios is stored on your motherboards memory called cmos(?).
[02:24] <Ny51bern> any1 know where there is a Dell channel?
[02:24] <Lavaeagle> ubuntu: unless you meant swap
[02:25] <ubuntu> Well the partition is labeled BIOS_RVY
[02:27] <ubuntu> So what should I do?
[02:27] <liam> does anyone know of any easy docs to create a local smtp and pop mail server and use the postmaster account all locally?
[02:27] <Wiesshund> ubuntu that is a recovery partition
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> Ny51bern: if you are using Ubuntu you should ask here. Otherwise I'd ask in ##hardware if you are having hardware issues
[02:30] <nobodybk> Hey there
[02:30] <Wiesshund> liam nothing special to using it localy, if you can already set it up in general
[02:30] <KipMacy> if you change your nick, i'll help you out

[02:31] <Toxicsgz> Hi, my Ubuntu 10.10 iso CD will not reconize my HD during install, I get no option to use entire disk, it goes straight to the partition menu where my HD is not listed. The live CD will read my HD and its contents but the installer does not. Any help please.
[02:31] <liam> Wiesshund: I have set it up and I can use normal user accounts however I can't access the postmaster account over pop.....
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> Toxicsgz: run: lspci   websearch for the drive controller you have
[02:32] <charlesno> how do i install emacs 23 on ubuntu 9.10
[02:32] <ubuntu> Is it possible to install Ubuntu using one partition?
[02:32] <xangua> ubuntu yes
[02:32] <peterkirn> Eep, okay, indeed, my root password is suddenly not recognized anywhere. I made a minor change, I thought, to user groups ... for audio purposes. i.e., sudo usermod -G audio [userid]
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Toxicsgz: try running gparted and partitioning the drive, then run the installer
[02:32] <xangua> that's how most people do
[02:33] <Wiesshund> liam you get an error or?
[02:33] <Toxicsgz> gparted ActionParsnip?
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> peterkirn: there is no root pass, your password your user logs in with is not the root pass
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> Toxicsgz: its the partitioning tool
[02:34] <Toxicsgz> THe disk utility you mean?
[02:34] <peterkirn> ActionParsnip: Right, I understand. So somehow I've removed my default login from the root group, which means I can't authenticate at all. Is there any way to recover?
[02:34] <enav> hi ppl... im having so weird eror.... i got a web server with   text files and pictures, when i access the folder it shows a list with all those text files but not the images   how this is even possible
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> peterkirn: reboot and hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root, you can now re-add your user to the admin group and/or reset your password with:  passwd foo    (replace foo with your username)
[02:35] <rww> peterkirn: had you read man usermod, you've have seen "If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed, the user will be removed from the group.". Like the 'admin' group :\
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> enav: do you have an index.html with HTML code to display the images?
[02:36] <peterkirn> rww: thanks, yep -- and, of course, I will now forever remember how to correctly use usermod. ;)
[02:36] <enav> i just  acces the folder with the addres bard  no  index files at all
[02:36] <enav> alll files have 777
[02:37] <peterkirn> ActionParsnip: thanks, got it. sorry, was used to systems on which there is a separate root account independent from group status of the default login. will do.
[02:37] <liam> Wiesshund: it just wont authenticate if the username is postmaster
[02:38] <Toxicsgz> OK had to download it ActionParsnip. Can you tell me how to create a pnew partition
[02:38] <snake_> how do you boot from usb in virtualbox
[02:38] <Wiesshund> liam what error does it gove?
[02:38] <Wiesshund> give*
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> Toxicsgz: gparted is a preety gui app which will help lots
[02:39] <liam> Wiesshund: Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server localhost responded: Login failed.
[02:39] <naptastic> Hi, I'm trying to do Diskless Booting (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto ) and have followed the instructions, but instead of booting, the computer stops in Busybox. How do I make it boot?
[02:40] <mellin> Hey everyone. I am trying to figure out how to install a experimental fglrx driver for my video card. I got a notification icon in the upper right corner of the taskbar, but I was in the process of installing updates so there was a lock on the files and directory. How do I bring up the icon to click to install the driver for my video card?
[02:40] <ubuntu> Im in the middle of the installer, and it Im stuck on the "Who are you?" page.  I have filled out my information but it wont let me continue.
[02:40] <snake_> how do you boot from usb in virtualbox
[02:40] <rww> ubuntu: make your username all lowercase
[02:41] <snake_> is it possible?
[02:42] <Wiesshund> liam check the mail server log, should be a more detailed account of what occured in it
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> snake_: sure, you will need the closed source virtualbox to get USB access
[02:42] <skilz> for some reason 'beep' doesnt output any sound
[02:43] <skilz> I do beep -f 300
[02:43] <skilz> nothing...
[02:44] <snake_> ActionParsnip, the binary on their site, correct?
[02:45] <bencahill_> Hey guys, my new 10.10 install on a laptop with an ssd is hanging after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done.". Any ideas?
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> snake_: sure, or you can use the repo to get updates when the vbox guys update
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> bencahill_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[02:47] <bencahill_> ActionParsnip: yes (the cd was burned a few weeks ago), and ran the 'test cd' option (when you boot the cd) before installing
[02:47] <bencahill_> ActionParsnip: no errors during install
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> bencahill_: cool

[02:49] <meway> the one that makes noise :p
[02:49] <opasan> Would someone be so kind to give me an demonoid invite? I've been waiting for months i've never caught it when its open. Maybe the ubuntu community will pull through
[02:49] <mellin> skiz: Do you have audio when you boot up, or what about playing music, etc.
[02:49] <rww> opasan: this isn't an appropriate place for that.

[02:49] <opasan> thank you
[02:49] <rww> bencahill: It's not appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic, either.
[02:50] <psusi> rambam, what?
[02:50] <bencahill> rww: oh, sorry :)
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> rambam: for what? Your question has no scope
[02:50] <rambam> psusi: mebibyte, megabyte.
[02:50] <bencahill> rambam: why?
[02:50] <Anom_> !ati
[02:50] <mellin> Anom_: Thank you!
[02:50] <rambam> bencahill: To move forward.
[02:51] <psusi> rambam, insufficient words for meaningful question
[02:51] <bencahill> rambam: move forward to what? copying apple?
[02:51] <sacarlson> naptastic: are you running ubuntu 10.04?  it states in gotcha's This does not work for a PXE server running 10.04.1 LTS,  I also DON'T see it say that does work in 10.10. so it might have the same problem
[02:51] <meway> opasan, #freenode welcomes offtopic discussion if its anything to do with support
[02:51] <bencahill> psusi: I believe he's talking about reporting disk/filesize values in base 10, not base 2, is that correct, rambam?
[02:51] <rambam> bencahill: No, I didn't even know they did that, I don't care about them.
[02:51] <naptastic> sacarlson, yeah, I'm running 10.10, so I guess I've gotta figure out what changed and fix it
[02:51] <rambam> bencahill: Correct.
[02:51] <Daemonik> What happened to vde support in kvm on Ubuntu 10.10??
[02:51] <Nanoha> awesome! I think I just got my first IRC server operational :)
[02:52] <neil_d> i am trying to share a printer via the 'appsocket' protocol... I have the printer tagged as 'shared'... but according to 'netstat' there is no process listening to port 9100... what is wrong?
[02:52] <Anom_> hi,   if I have an ATI card, and need the binary drivers for it, but Hardware drivers is not showing it, does that mean its not supported ???
[02:52] <sacarlson> naptastic: I havn't had it working since 8.04
[02:52] <bencahill> rambam: so why do you want them reported in base 10, when a computer uses base 2?
[02:52] <psusi> rambam, having WHAT do that?
[02:52] <bencahill> psusi: lol :)
[02:52] <rambam> bencahill: Is Hz base 2?
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> Anom_: what is the output of:  lspci | grep -i vga
[02:53] <rambam> psusi: Everything displayed.
[02:53] <bencahill> rambam: what exactly is your point?
[02:53] <psusi> rambam, too vague
[02:53] <rambam> bencahill: Humans count in 10.
[02:53] <Wiesshund> Anom whaich ATI card?
[02:53] <sacarlson> naptastic: I'd like to have that working so I'll work on it with you,  if you find a fix before me pm me with the solution
[02:53] <bencahill> rambam: computers != humans
[02:53] <MacManDan> I wanted to install vmware workstation in Ubuntu and it says I need to uninstall player first.  How do I uninstall Player?
[02:53] <cogsworth> I'm trying to burn a .iso to a DVD+RW and have it bootable, but when I select the drive at boot, it boots to grub instead.  I've verified that it's burning the files in the .iso and not the .iso itself, and followed the .iso burning guide to the letter.  What do I do?
[02:53] <rww> rambam: Per Ubuntu's units policy, applications should already use 1000/SI based units for many contexts. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> rambam: can you give a full and complete question rather than wasting users time habving them milk tiny pieces of information from you
[02:54] <psusi> rambam, a number of the command line tools like du and ls take a --si switch that will do that
[02:54] <rambam> bencahill: So why are we displaying letters here? Computers don't read letters, they read 0 or 1.
[02:54] <neil_d> bencahill: rambam: computers should accomidate humans!
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> cogsworth: how did you put the ISO on the disk?
[02:54] <Anom_> ActionParsnip,  ati rs482 [radeon express 200m]
[02:54] <psusi> thuogh if you ask me, the push to abandon 30 years of precedent and switch to base 10 is stupid
[02:54] <cogsworth> Right clicked the iso from the desktop and selected write to disk.  It burned at 4x so I'm relatively sure it burned accurately.
[02:55] <MacManDan> How can I remove vm player so I can install workstation?
[02:55] <Anom_> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 10.10
[02:55] <rww> Anom_: That card isn't supported by versions of ATI fglrx that work with the versions of Xorg used in current versions of Ubuntu.
[02:55] <neil_d> i am trying to share a printer via the 'appsocket' protocol... I have the printer tagged as 'shared'... but according to 'netstat' there is no process listening to port 9100... what is wrong?
[02:55] <Zelozelos> on my desktop on the login screen half of the screen appears to be a magnified screen and i cant fig out how to get rid of it...any ideas how?
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> Anom_: may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1654240
[02:56] <rambam> psusi: google this, ubuntu slashdot base 10, and you'll soon probably switch distro?
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> cogsworth: ok did you test the CD for defects once booted to?
[02:56] <cogsworth> ActionParsnip: Once booted to Ubuntu?
[02:56] <bencahill> Does anyone else have any ideas regarding my install hanging after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done." ?
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> cogsworth: no, waay before
[02:56] <mellin> MacManDan: You should install virtual box which is like vmware for mac. This will let you install other operating systems and run them in a virtualized environment
[02:56] <Silkjc> What packages do I need to install to get the samba sharing GUI that comes up when you right click a folder and go 'share'? I've got samba4 installed, no menu though
[02:57] <rambam> Anyway, to rephrase my question: How do I display sizes and such in Ubuntu as base 10 and not base 2?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> cogsworth: boot to the cd and press space a lot, you'll get the OLD boot menu and you can test the CD and RAM
[02:57] <MacManDan> Okay I will try that.
[02:57] <cogsworth> ActionParsnip: When I try to boot to the CD from Bios, it gives me "Booting from CD..." then "Booting GRUB"
[02:57] <bencahill> rambam: I believe rww and psusi answered your question quite well.
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> rambam: if you'd have said that in the first place it would have been much better
[02:57] <rww> rambam: Most GUI applications should already do that. Some command-line applications have an argument to do so. You'd need to specify which application you're talking about.
[02:57] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: ;)
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> cogsworth: try selecting in the BIOS to only boot CD
[02:58] <rambam> rww: The whole system.
[02:58] <cogsworth> ActionParsnip: Ok, will do.   Will report back with results.
[02:58] <rww> rambam: "The whole system." is not an application. It's not a system-wide setting.
[02:58] <Zelozelos> on my login screen the desktop magnifier is taking up half the screen and i can't click on anything behind it so how am i supposed to turn it off?
[02:58] <bencahill> rww: so does Nautilus report filesizes in base-10?
[02:59] <rww> bencahill: I don't use it, so I can't check, but I believe it's been modified to do so.
[02:59] <skilz> Zelozelos, ctrl + alt + print screen + s
[02:59] <rambam> rww: But that's what I want.
[02:59] <Zelozelos> ty skilz ill give it a try
[02:59] <psusi> rambam, no.. but I will continue to point out the stupidity of overturning 30 years of precedent and changing the behavior of numerous programs instead of getting the idiots who use wrong numbers ( HD manufacturers ) to stop doing so.
[03:00] <bencahill> psusi: actually, if you want to be technical, the hdd manufacturers are correct, gigabyte means '1 billion bytes'
[03:00] <needlez> hey people i got a quick question and want to know if it can be done easily. Is it possible to change permissions for pm-suspend so that it doesn't require sudo to run it?? like chown something or chmod something so that sudo isn't needed for pm-suspend??
[03:00] <rww> rambam: Please feel free to see the UnitPolicy page I linked you to, file bugs against applications that violate it, and fix existing bugs tagged as such, then.
[03:00] <Zelozelos> skilz nope its not doing anything
[03:01] <bencahill> psusi: but now we have also gotten to where gigabyte means 2^whatever
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> rww: nice
[03:01] <needlez> anyone??
[03:01] <purpzey> Does anyone have experience with energymech? I am having some issues communicating with it and I really can't figure out why...
[03:01] <psusi> bencahill, no, it doesn't...
[03:01] <bencahill> psusi: technically, gibibyte should have been the term picked to be used to indicate base2 numbers
[03:01] <lake> yooooo. is it possible to record audio from an app source, like rhythmbox or a web browser in linux? (i'm certain it's possible)... How can I do it?
[03:02] <psusi> bencahill, we havn't gotten there, we have been there for 30 years
[03:02] <Zelozelos> on my login screen the magnifier is taking up half of the screen with the magnifier viewer, usually it just shows all black except for a border...how can i get rid of it
[03:02] <sandyd> lake: jack-audio
[03:02] <rww> I note that the intricacies of unit prefixes are offtopic for #ubuntu, though #ubuntu-offtopic would probably love to have an extended debate about them ;)
[03:02] <naptastic> lake, sadly, it's quite difficult to do that. The easiest way is to get a patch cable and connect your line out to your line in, and record your line in.
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> needlez: you can add pm-suspend to visudo so it will need sudo, but you won't get asked for a password
[03:02] <mellin> lake: Yes you should be able to use audacity to record streamed music and such
[03:02] <bencahill> psusi: from wikipedia, summarizes what I'm saying: "Historically, the term has also been used in some fields of computer science and information technology to denote the gibibyte, or 1073741824 (10243 or 230) bytes."
[03:02] <rambam> psusi: Did you google what I told you?
[03:02] <Aleiex> hi, my window manager closed or something because i can see controls: minimze, close, etc
[03:02] <Aleiex> how to restart it?
[03:02] <bencahill> rww: understood :)
[03:02] <skilz> Zelozelos, Sorry mate, Hold down Alt-PrintScreen (this is the SysRq key combo), and while holding down those keys, press the letters 'S' to sync the disks, then 'U' to unmount the filesystems and 'B' to reboot the computer. Always try that before going for the power button. It's a bit awkward to do all that while holding Alt-PrintScreen, but it's not something you'll do often.
[03:03] <Aleiex> i tried to restart pc but the same
[03:03] <psusi> that 640k of base ram dos supported?  it wasn't 640,000... 720k floppy disks?  wasn't 720,000... a 1mb stick of ram was not a million
[03:03] <lake> sandyd: naptastic mellin thanks all for the super quick input. I'll look into jack-audio asap
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> Aleiex: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace
[03:03] <naptastic> sacarlson, thanks. Sorry, I'm distracted and working on 2 problems at once. I'm pretty sure the problem is in the initramfs but I don't know how to solve it.
[03:03] <mellin> lake: NP
[03:03] <psusi> rambam, no
[03:04] <bencahill> anybody have an idea about hanging at boot, could have something to do with firewire?
[03:04] <Aleiex> thnx ActionParsnip
[03:04] <needlez> ActionParsnip: I need to change its permission cuz I'm thinking about adding it to the end of a bash script to tell the computer to automatically sleep after totem closes. I made a c wrapper to do shutdown, but that just shuts down the computer and I'd rather it sleep. So is it possible to get rid of that sudo requirement for this??
[03:04] <sandyd> lake: youll also want to use it with qjackctl
[03:04] <Aleiex> why this happen?
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: when you see plymouth, press ESC and it will get out of the way and let you see whats actually happening
[03:04] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: plymouth?
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: plymouth is the pointless boot splash Ubuntu uses
[03:05] <needlez> bencahill: plymouth is the purple screen
[03:05] <sandyd> bencahill: ya. that purple/blue startup screen
[03:05] <rambam> psusi: So you might want to perhaps change distro, if they go through with it. http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/03/27/1451238/Ubuntu-Will-Switch-To-Base-10-File-Size-Units-In-Future-Release
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> needlez: like I said, you will need to add the word 'sudo' to the command but you will NOT need to enter a password
[03:05] <aju> hai all,When i am trying to update ubuntu 10.04 I got an error message"E: crossplatformui: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2" any one can help me
[03:05] <mellin> rambam: lol
[03:05] <bencahill> ActionParsnip, needlez, sandyd: I never get there, it only sits at a blinking cursor if I boot normally, i'm booting into the 'recovery mode' grub entry
[03:05] <psusi> rambam, like I said before, that would be silly.
[03:05] <lake> sandyd: I've got that package installed, now. thanks.
[03:05] <sandyd> bencahill: you can also press shift/esc on boot to show the grub menu, press 'e' and remove "splash"
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached
[03:06] <sandyd> lake: its not as easy as you think - read the wiki
[03:06] <sacarlson> naptastic: I've worked on this initramfs problem in the past before 8.04 when I had to add drivers,  It was involved with lots of trial and error and seemed at the time I had two problems that made it more dificult
[03:06] <bencahill> sandyd: yes, I know :)
[03:06] <needlez> ActionParsnip: ok thank you
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> !visudo | needlez
[03:06] <psusi> at any rate, it seems 10.10 did not make the switch like that says
[03:06] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: will check, brb
[03:06] <rambam> psusi: Not yet, but we'll see.
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> needlez: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> needlez: if you screw the file you will need to boot to root recovery mode and fix, so be careful
[03:07] <psusi> both df and gnome are still using base 2, like everyone else but HD makers have done for 30 years
[03:07] <rambam> psusi: Do your research a little bit better.
[03:07] <lake> sandyd: okay, thanks for the reality check.
[03:08] <rww> !ot | psusi, rambam
[03:08] <Zelozelos> skilz that does effectivly reboot the machine (awsome to know that key combo-something i was wondering) but the magnifier is still there
[03:08] <PresuntoRJ> is there a file size limit when importing an Outlook 2007 PST file into Evolution ? It seems to work fine with a 650M I have, but the NEXT button wont enable when I try it with another 9G one... Must I brake it into little pieces beforehand?
[03:08] <needlez> ActionParsnip: umm, ill pass then, i have a solution that will work for now, I made a Cwrapper that has the shutdown command basically and doesn't require it to be ran as root cuz it thinks im already root running it
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> psusi: base 2 is more accurate to what is actually on the partition, so you know that there is no rounding etc. Windows shows both which I have had many calls about wanting me to explain
[03:08] <needlez> but thank you i will look into this
[03:09] <aju> please help meee
[03:09] <lake> sandyd: is this wiki to which you refer? HowToJACKConfiguration
[03:10] <Zelozelos> my kids did something to my login screen, the magnifying thing is taking up half of the screen and i cant fig out how to get rid of it..any ideas
[03:10] <cogsworth> ActionParsnip: Changing the boot priorities to only CD didn't help, but I DID find something puzzling.
[03:10] <sandyd> lake: yup
[03:10] <lake> great
[03:10] <sandyd> lake: but Ill assure you that it will perform MUCH better than pulseaudio ;)
[03:10] <rww> Zelozelos: I've never played with it, but there should be an accessibility icon somewhere along the bottom you can click to change magnifier settings. Looks like a person in a circle.
[03:10] <sandyd> aju: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1641387
[03:11] <cogsworth> ActionParsnip: The files I'm trying to burn are originally contained in a .bin totaling 707mb in size.  However, when I open the .bin with an archive program, the files only total around 600mb.
[03:11] <Zelozelos> rww sometimes i can see it but i cant click on anything but the login names/cancel button
[03:11] <cogsworth> How can the uncompressed files possibly be smaller than the compressed container?
[03:11] <mellin> Anyone have some reading for me on how to monitor and watch to see if anyone is trying to breach my system? What I'm thinking is it is possible for example to grep the ports somehow to see if someone tries to exploit said port. I know /var/log can be reviewed, but I'm wanting to learn better how to use the command line and programs that are available to me there
[03:11] <naptastic> sacarlson, I have the right drivers, at least, I'm pretty sure.
[03:11] <teage> having problems with my touchpad on my toshiba laptop. pointer over travels when i move it. meaning i stop and it doesnt (right away )
[03:11] <Wiesshund> Zelozelos can you log in?
[03:11] <Zelozelos> Wiesshund yup can login just fine
[03:11] <naptastic> sacarlson, I'm in Busybox right now and can see my ethernet adapter, though it isn't "up"
[03:11] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: nope, none of those worked, it doesn't seem to be something with the graphics
[03:12] <Wiesshund> Zelozelos i think you need to disable Gnompernicus
[03:12] <rvn> trying to use smbclient to connect to my windows box - would use GUI but it doesn't support the dollar sign in a share name, and im trying to connect to the hidden drive share T$. i did "smbclient \\\\retrocomputer\\t$ -U=<My Username> <My Password>" and it tosses back NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED
[03:12] <teage> im running ubuntu 10.10
[03:12] <rvn> box runs win7 pro
[03:12] <rvn> ideas?
[03:12] <Zelozelos> Wiesshund, disable what? is it a simple process?
[03:12] <sandyd> rvn: if your using homegroups or whatever you call it, samba doesnt work with it
[03:12] <lake> sandyd: am i replacing pulseaudio by following this wiki?
[03:12] <Wiesshund> Zelozelos yea after you log in.
[03:13] <CJ232> If my partitions are setup like [C:][D:][unalloted], can I move unalloted between C and D any way?
[03:13] <naptastic> rvn, have you tried putting a / in front of the $? I think you might need to. I'm not sure though.
[03:13] <sandyd> lake: no. but its not a good idea to run both at the same time
[03:13] <Wiesshund> Zelozelos Applications>Assistive Technologies>Screen Reader and Magnifier.
[03:13] <rvn> naptastic: same error.
[03:13] <sandyd> lake: because their both sound servers
[03:13] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: what does it usually do after /scripts/init-bottom ?
[03:13] <lake> sandyd: that makes sense
[03:13] <rvn> brb, trying something
[03:13] <naptastic> rvn, okay, I'm out of ideas.
[03:13] <levi_> hey guys. For some reason, ubuntu isnt mounting my usb flash drive. I have media set to automount and this has worked before. any ideas?
[03:13] <Zelozelos> Wiesshund, ahh i see ill check there if not i dont care anyhow..its still running 9.4
[03:14] <needlez> bencahill: should bring up limits or loading img or something like that, have verbose bootscreen
[03:14] <lake> it appears my mental model is lacking in this area, sandyd. thanks for the guidance
[03:14] <sandyd> lake: however, if you get jack working, you can just use jack by default
[03:14] <Zelozelos> thanks for the info
[03:14] <sandyd> lake: it works the same as pulseaudio
[03:14] <bencahill> needlez: the last line on the screen is "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottm ... done."
[03:15] <needlez> hold on give me a little bit ill look into it
[03:15] <bencahill> needlez: sure, thx
[03:15] <CJ232> Anone know if I can move a non adjacent partition to next to it if there is another partiion in the way like | C: | D: | unalloted |?
[03:15] <Wiesshund> I dont think you can hop partitions easily
[03:15] <sacarlson> naptastic: did you try this https://launchpad.net/~serge-hallyn/+archive/kvm-pxe-backport ?
[03:16] <CJ232> How hard is it to "hop" paritions
[03:16] <ayecee> CJ232: mostly time consuming, depending on the size. gparted takes a lot of the guesswork out of it.
[03:16] <Wiesshund> ayecee gparted wont hop partitions though
[03:17] <ayecee> Wiesshund: really? it did for me?
[03:17] <Anom_> rww, ActionParsnip
[03:17] <Wiesshund> ayecee it let you drag one over the top of others?
[03:17] <Anom_> how do I get the open source drivers working again ?
[03:17] <naptastic> sacarlson, reading..
[03:17] <Anom_> I installed (tried) the binary ones, but they didn't go.
[03:17] <Anom_> resolution is low, ect.
[03:17] <ayecee> Wiesshund: ah, that's just moving a partition, no?
[03:17] <sandyd> Anom_, which ones. nvidia or ati
[03:17] <CJ232> yeah it jusrt moves it
[03:17] <CJ232> not hops
[03:18] <Anom_> sandyd, ati
[03:18] <CJ232> I dont think
[03:18] <Anom_> ATI 200M
[03:18] <Wiesshund> ayecee no its moving say partition 1 over the top of 2 and 3 and dropping it like between 3 and 4
[03:18] <ayecee> CJ232: I don't understand the difference from your scription.
[03:18] <rww> Anom_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver
[03:18] <naptastic> sacarlson, what does that do? I'm not sure if it will help me.
[03:18] <rww> Anom_: I can't offer any help past that; my policy with fglrx for a long time has been "stay the hell away"
[03:18] <ayecee> Wiesshund: like, sliding 2 and 3 to the left, and dropping 1 between 3 and 4?
[03:18] <CJ232> aycee what do you mean
[03:18] <sandyd> Anom_: you mind if I give you the instructions on pastebin?
[03:19] <CJ232> and I can move the partition over with gparted ?
[03:19] <sandyd> Anom_: here http://pastebin.com/mnHMVJ7h
[03:19] <ayecee> CJ232: sure, but it normally has to be moved into free space.
[03:19] <Wiesshund> ayecee yea
[03:19] <sacarlson> naptastic: I think it fixes at least one bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etherboot/+bug/617316 and hopfully our problems also
[03:19] <ayecee> CJ232: what you might do is shrink the partitions so you have room to work with, then move them, then grow them. Really slow, but it does what you're asking.
[03:20]  * rww notes that the commands on that pastebin are also on the wiki.ubuntu.com page
[03:20] <Wiesshund> CJ232 you can mirrior the partition you want moved out of sequence, then after you verify its ok, you can remove the original
[03:20] <sandyd> Anom_: if your using 64bit, the /usr/lib32/libGL* links may also be fried
[03:20] <sandyd> Anom_: you need to restore those manually
[03:20] <sacarlson> naptastic: I norally try the easy solution first if that fails have to look closer
[03:20] <Propel> is ext4 the latest?
[03:20] <ayecee> Propel: the latest what?
[03:20] <Propel> format for HDD
[03:20] <Propel> for ubuntu
[03:20] <CJ232> so C: D: unalloted unolatted slides to C: D: Slides after unalloted doesnt work huh
[03:21] <Propel> or best working for ubuntu
[03:21] <ayecee> Propel: it's the default for current ubuntu, yes
[03:21] <rww> Propel: it's the lastest stable one, and the current default.
[03:21] <CJ232> never mirrored it before
[03:21] <Propel> ahh ok. thx guys
[03:21] <ayecee> CJ232: sorry, I can't follow that.
[03:21] <Wiesshund> CJ232 i guess maybe we should ask why you think they need moved first?
[03:21] <sacarlson> naptastic: oh and I forgot you run 10.10,  I'm running 10.04
[03:22] <webPragmatist> pardon my ignorance but didn't ubuntu have an app to generate an ssh key and add it to the authorized_keys?
[03:22] <mellin> ayecee: It really depends on what you want to try and accomplish with the filesystem. There are others that are for example better for really big file sizes. As stated ext4 should be more than adequate for most situations ;-
[03:22] <naptastic> sacarlson, yeah, the 10.10 vs 10.04 probably isn't a big deal
[03:22] <webPragmatist> ah ssh-copy-id
[03:23] <naptastic> sacarlson, the PXE bug isn't affecting me; the problem appears to be in the mounting of the root over NFS, or what happens after that.
[03:23] <sacarlson> naptastic: can you mount the nfs from a system that's already booted?
[03:23] <ayecee> meway: did you mean to address Propel?
[03:23] <ayecee> oops.
[03:23] <Wiesshund> CJ232 tell us what your trying to accomplish, maybe we can give you better answers
[03:24] <ayecee> stupid autocomplete.
[03:24] <Propel> i assume you meant to refer to someone else, ayecee?
[03:24] <sacarlson> naptastic: maybe it's missing nfs drivers?
[03:24] <ayecee> Propel: apparently.
[03:24] <Propel> ;P
[03:24] <bencahill> ironic
[03:25] <CJ232> ok
[03:25] <samfire> where can i get packages from for ubuntu so i can local install them? i need network-manager so ican connect from the ubuntu box.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: what is?
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> samfire: package.ubuntu.com
[03:26] <rww> !offline | samfire
[03:26] <CJ232> I have a drive with a C: primary partition and a extended partitions with D:  and also 976 mgbytes of unalloted space
[03:26] <samfire> thanks :) its packages. but i found it.
[03:26] <CJ232> ayecee:  the extended is split so the extended has two logical drives D: and unalloted space
[03:27] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: mellin (gone now) referenced ayecee where he should have referenced Propel, so ayecee tried to ask him if he meant that, but he made the same error due to autocomplete ;)
[03:27] <CJ232> i want to take the logical drive in the extendend partition and move it next ( in front of ) to C:
[03:27] <Propel> lol
[03:27] <Wiesshund> CJ232 unalloted space is just that unused, its not part of D:
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: thats not ironic
[03:28] <CJ232> I know It is part of the extended partiton which contains the logical drives D: and then the unalloted space also
[03:29] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: uk english?
[03:29] <CJ232> ..
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: Uk, Leeds, West Yorkshire
[03:29] <Wiesshund> unalotted belongs to no partition, you could make a new partition in it or you could grow D: into it etc
[03:29] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: US here, probably a difference in terms :)
[03:30] <CJ232> D is just part of the extended partition though, and the unalloted is in the extended partition
[03:30] <naptastic> sacarlson, when I compiled the kernel, I made sure NFS and root over NFS were configured into the kernel, not as modules; though maybe I goofed in there somewhere?
[03:30] <CJ232> which is not D
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: it'd have been ironic if the nick was 'accuracy' or something like that, Yeah the US 'ironic' is the UK 'coincidence', makes us all laugh over here
[03:30] <naptastic> sacarlson, (Sorry I'm so slow. My sister just called to say she's pregnant so I've been distracted.)
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: expected?
[03:31] <Wiesshund> CJ232 unalloted space is not part of a partition, hence its unalotted. If you want to use it the easy way would be grow D: into it
[03:31] <sacarlson> naptastic: no rush on my side, ok can you mount then from a booted system?
[03:31] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: oh yes, not a coincidence, but ironic because in trying to correct he made the same error as the one being corrected :)
[03:31] <bencahill> needlez: anything?
[03:31] <Wiesshund> or you could grow D into it, then shrink D and grow C if you want C bigger
[03:32] <naptastic> ActionParsnip, yes. Actually I predicted it a month ago.... I was too early!
[03:32] <sacarlson> naptastic: I mean can you mount nfs from a booted system?
[03:32] <naptastic> sacarlson, yes, mount, read, write and execute. Everything works correctly from a booted system.
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: than in that case, congrats
[03:32] <naptastic> ActionParsnip, thanks! Their first child is adorable and I'm excited they're having another.
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: i guess, makes sense :D
[03:33] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: ;)
[03:33] <sacarlson> naptastic: I also had problems in dhcp with the ip change that gave me problems in nfs,  not sure this is your problem
[03:33] <CJ232> but D is a logical drive ... but it's good it will be not part of any thing and I can just grrow C:
[03:33] <CJ232> *grow
[03:33] <Wiesshund> CJ232 are you running linux or windows or both?
[03:33] <CJ232> both
[03:34] <Wiesshund> ok cause you keep using windows terms, was wondering
[03:34] <CJ232> oh sorry
[03:34] <Wiesshund> CJ232 in in simple, which partition did you want bigger?
[03:34] <bencahill> Wiesshund: wait, c: and d: are windows terms? ;P
[03:35] <CJ232> the C drive but I am in xp
[03:35] <edbian> bencahill, definitely
[03:35] <zvrk> CJ232, you sure about that d drive logical is usually recovery from your win
[03:35] <elitedev> lol
[03:35] <bencahill> edbian: jk ;)
[03:35] <CJ232> which the capitalistic M$ programmer wanted you to pay for partiton software
[03:36] <CJ232> not that it's a bad thing
[03:36] <Wiesshund> CJ232 ok then what you do is, you grow d into the unalocated space. when that is done, you drag the front edge of D and shrink it again, making a gap between C and D. When that finishes, you drag the back edge of C and give it the sapce you just made
[03:38] <bencahill> does anyone else have any idea why i can't boot past /scripts/init-bottom
[03:38] <bencahill> ?
[03:38] <Wiesshund> CJ232 partition tools are free, but the average MS user isnt capable of using them without destroying the whole works.
[03:38] <Wiesshund> bencahill can you boot the live cd fully?
[03:38] <naptastic> sacarlson, I don't think DHCP should be a problem; everything is static and well-defined
[03:39] <bencahill> Wiesshund: no
[03:39] <naptastic> sacarlson, running my own DHCP, BIND, NFS, tftp, etc is awesome :-) I love being in control.
[03:39] <bencahill> Wiesshund: never associated the two, but it's probably the same problem, now that i think about it :-/
[03:39] <CJ232> so shrinking from the fron doesnt mean that's where the data that;;ll get overwrittens at on the track of th disk
[03:39] <Anom_> ActionParsnip, hey
[03:39] <Anom_> ok so that ATI 200M is not compatable
[03:39] <CJ232> the plates of the drives tracks
[03:39] <sacarlson> naptastic: the process of pxe involves dhcp look in the dhcp logs to see if the boot tries to get two different address
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> Anom_: sup
[03:40] <Wiesshund> bencahill did you check the boot cd on another machine just to verify it didnt have an error in creation etc
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> Anom_: I believe it will use the open driver. You may need an xorg.conf file to make it nice]
[03:40] <naptastic> sacarlson, where do I find the dhcp logs?
[03:40] <sandyd> bencahill: I havent been checking on the convo cause I went outside to give my dog a run, but you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1271827 ?
[03:40] <Anom_> but the ATI drivers work
[03:40] <Wiesshund> CJ232 ive no idea what you just said
[03:40] <Anom_> however certain things are not working perfectly
[03:40] <Anom_> ie. Google Earth looks like crap
[03:40] <sacarlson> naptastic: /var/log/dh??
[03:40] <Anom_> (ATI drivers being open source ones)
[03:40] <schwinn434> I have tried to dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 with Windows xp (it works, as long as I don't install Ubuntu to a seperate HD)
[03:40] <bencahill> Wiesshund: yes, and i also tried booting using a liveusb, but installation using an alternate cd worked fine, it just won't boot :(
[03:40]  * naptastic looks
[03:41] <rvn> i cannot connect to my win7 box from ubuntu 10.10, i tried all the solutions in this thread, no go
[03:41] <rvn> the smb.conf fix did nothing
[03:41] <schwinn434> I have to install both OS onto the same HD to get the computer to dual boot, would like to install ubuntu 10.10 to its own hd
[03:41] <bencahill> sandyd: looking...
[03:41] <rvn> the natty smbclient substitute did nothing
[03:41] <sandyd> Anom_: use gallium
[03:41] <Wiesshund> bencahill hmm, what kind and how new of a laptop?
[03:41] <rvn> schwinn434: you can do that, just have to set the ubuntu disk higher in the boot order in the bios
[03:41] <bencahill> Wiesshund: an old hp zv5410us
[03:41] <naptastic> sacarlson, yeah, no such log files...
[03:42] <Wiesshund> bencahill no familiar with model number, can you give me a rough date that it was new?
[03:42] <rvn> can i do a dist-upgrade to natty from 10.10?
[03:42] <schwinn434> not sure my pentium 4 bios support this rvn
[03:42] <nit-wit> schwinn434, is the second hd a slave that can't be first to boot
[03:42] <rvn> schwinn434: even a pentium one supports this.
[03:42] <linuxmonger> Okay, I loaded up 10.10 and noticed that Pidgin is gone, replaced by Empathy. I give it a try, but can anybody tell me how to get it to do a /list of channels?
[03:42] <bencahill> Wiesshund: don't know, it was given to me, but has an athlon 64 3200+ (i think) and nvidia graphics
[03:42] <Anom_> !gallium
[03:43] <schwinn434> the second hd is a slave with ubuntu installed
[03:43] <rvn> nit-wit: slave disks can be boot disks, that's irrelevant on a modern box
[03:43] <Wiesshund> bencahill ok that gives me a rough idea from the cpu
[03:43] <schwinn434> it shows up under the grup menu but will not boot
[03:43] <nit-wit> schwinn434, can you put the slave first in the bios?
[03:43] <Wiesshund> bencahill have you tried by change booting a 9.x live cd?
[03:43] <sandyd> Anom_: gallium is the new mesa architecture. works really well. for more info -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10350363
[03:43] <sacarlson> naptastic: sorry /var/lib/dhcp3/leas??
[03:43] <schwinn434> have not tried to do this nit-wit did install windows xp first though
[03:44] <nit-wit> schwinn434, put the slave to be read first.
[03:44] <schwinn434> nit-wit: thx
[03:44] <schwinn434> will try this next time
[03:44] <nit-wit> schwinn434, assuming it has grub in its mbr.
[03:44] <PresuntoRJ> is there a PPA for current stable evolution (email-client) version (2.32.1)?
[03:45] <schwinn434> not sure if grub is installed in the mbr
[03:45] <Anom_> sandyd, thanks, not sure how this installs though..
[03:45] <schwinn434> I installed xp first then ubuntu - telling it to install to the 2nd slave hd
[03:45] <nit-wit> schwinn434, does xp boot straight in without grub now.
[03:45] <miyamoto> how to create our own custom live cd,dvd or usb stick for installin ubuntu in different machine so tht i cud save time
[03:46] <schwinn434> again shows up in the grub menu - but will not boot
[03:46] <sacarlson> naptastic: you should see what attepts of dhcp leases here /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases
[03:46] <schwinn434> nit-wit: I installed both os s on one hd, now
[03:46] <schwinn434> and it works, with ubuntu 10.10 the default
[03:47] <Anom_> sandyd, the reason I am asking is because I am not very skilled
[03:47] <Wiesshund> My favorite way to install (with 2 HD) is install windows in HDA, then unplug HDA and install linux on HDB. then either drive could explode, and the other os would boot just fine
[03:47] <naptastic> sacarlson, copy that. Checking...
[03:47] <Anom_> I mean I can do a few things, but is it easy to install ??
[03:47] <schwinn434> gave up on installing unbuntu 10.10 to its own hd
[03:47] <nit-wit> schwinn434, okay, if you can get the slave first in the bios you could install there.
[03:48] <naptastic> sacarlson, yeah, that appears to just be dynamic leases... hang on...
[03:48] <schwinn434> nit-wit: thx for the info
[03:48] <txdv> Wiesshund: it is very unlikely that either will explode
[03:48] <txdv> i got 9 os'es on one disk
[03:48] <sacarlson> naptastic: yes you will see the pxe client in there check the mac to verify
[03:48] <schwinn434> nit-wit: will try to get slave hd to boot first next go around
[03:48] <naptastic> txdv, 0_0
[03:49] <naptastic> sacarlson, my PXE client has a fixed address, ergo, no entry in that file.
[03:49] <rvn> im doing a distribution upgrade from 10.10->11.04 ;)
[03:49] <hasee> I need help, I have a netbook hasee and everything works perfectly, unless the suspension and hibernation
[03:49] <rww> rvn: Good luck. When it breaks horribly, support for unreleased versions is in #ubuntu+1, not here ;)
[03:49] <bencahill> Wiesshund: no, why?
[03:49] <Anom_> sandyd, maybe I should just configure my current open source driver
[03:49] <Wiesshund> txdv i was being over dramatic :) but the point was one disk can disapear and the other wont care (In my case it dissapears cause i pull it and take it to another machine)
[03:49] <Anom_> so I don't screw things up
[03:49] <rvn> rww: i'm looking forward to it not breaking horribly, but we shall see, sir!
[03:49] <hasee> What I can do?
[03:49] <sacarlson> naptastic: I"m not sure how that works,  what if 10 people want to pxe boot?
[03:50] <xaueious> is it okay to ask for help here?
[03:50] <rvn> lol
[03:50] <rvn> yes
[03:50] <xaueious> :D
[03:50] <naptastic> sacarlson, then I have 10 static leases defined in dhcpd.conf. It is a bit of a hassle, but I'm a control freak so it all works out.
[03:50] <Wiesshund> bencahill cause i have a machine here roughly around that age, and it will not run 10.x either same boot issue, but it runs 9.x just fine. 10 doesnt like something on its funky motherboard
[03:51] <sandyd> Anom_: if you screw it up, you can jst go back with ppa-purge....
[03:51] <purpzey> Does anyone have experience with energymech? I am having some issues communicating with it and I really can't figure out why...
[03:51] <Anom_> sandyd, well I don't even see how to install it
[03:51] <xaueious> i am not a long user of ubuntu, but somehow i think i have remapped my 'end' key to something
[03:51] <Anom_> there is no Ubuntu package
[03:51] <xaueious> i can't use my 'end' key
[03:51] <sacarlson> naptastic: oh ok I see what you mean then, yes with that setup you won't see the lease in that file
[03:51] <sandyd> Anom_: add the xorg-edgers ppa
[03:51] <Boatingbum23> when i play movies in full screen. If its not HD I can usually see what looks like  4 horizontal lines that appear when the frames moving, or if it is HD it slows the video down, any way i can fix this without replacing the graphics card?
[03:51] <xaueious> nothing happens
[03:51] <rvn> xaueious: did you rule out hardware problems by booting to another OS or a live cd/usb?
[03:51] <sandyd> Anom_: ill have to drop a line to handy to add it in once the forums are back up
[03:52] <xaueious> it's not a hardware problem for sure
[03:52] <xaueious> works fine in windows
[03:52] <naptastic> sacarlson, okay, so I made a few different initrd's with different options. The one I just tried does manage to get a DHCP lease with the correct address. It starts trying to mount the root over NFS, then stops doing anything and I don't know why.
[03:52] <xaueious> is there a way to troubleshoot this?
[03:52] <xaueious> i'm using gnome
[03:52] <xaueious> but i installed compiz
[03:52] <xaueious> might have mapped it somewhere o_O
[03:53] <rvn> xaueious: i'm pretty sure you didn't remap the key on accident
[03:53] <rvn> xaueious: it's not the easiest thing to do
[03:53] <Nanoha> hi all!  I just got my own IRC server running (ircd)  I can't use nickserv though.  How do I configure my server to use that?
[03:53] <rvn> xaueious: it's possible that compiz assigned it to something, if thats waht u mean
[03:53] <sandyd> Anom_: and sorry for the lag in response. HighWinds CDN is being funky again.
[03:53] <Anom_> sandyd, no probs
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> Nanoha: i'd ask in #freenode
[03:53] <rvn> xaueious: hit alt+F2 and type "ccsm" and hit enter
[03:53] <Anom_> sandyd, add software source
[03:53] <rvn> xaueious: that'll bring up the compiz configuring thing - see if you can find something assigned to the end key and reassign or clear it
[03:53] <sacarlson> naptastic:  maybe monitor with wireshark see what it tries that fails?
[03:53] <piyushmishra> how do I upgrade to php5.3.5 in ubuntu 10.04 or is it not enabled by default for some specific reason?
[03:54] <Anom_> what do I add to add software source sandyd
[03:54] <Anom_> ?
[03:54] <xaueious> okay
[03:54] <sandyd> Anom: add the xorg-edgers
[03:54] <xaueious> checked there...
[03:54] <Nanoha> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[03:54] <thauriswulfa> QUESTION:ubuntu not running , after power cut off ,,its saying at startup  failed to mount /proc and /sys no such file system ...help!!!!!!!!!!
[03:54] <xaueious> not there...
[03:55] <hasee> pleasehelp meeee
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> thauriswulfa: i'd boot to livecd and fsck the partitions
[03:55] <rvn> thauriswulfa: sounds like hdd corruption, might need reinstall :/
[03:55] <xaueious> i'll try something else
[03:55] <hasee> I have a netbook hasee and everything works perfectly, unless the suspension and hibernation, what can i do? (sorry for my English)
[03:55] <nobodybk> hey anyone , do you have damn vulnerable linux iso file download direct link ?
[03:55] <rvn> thauriswulfa: yeah if ur lucky that might fix it
[03:55] <xaueious> i did make a xstartup file that was supposed to remap the windows key
[03:55] <naptastic> sacarlson, yeah, how do I tell what succeeds and what fails? I can see a lot of data, but most of it looks like a language I can't understand.
[03:55] <xaueious> maybe that did something
[03:55] <nobodybk> >	hey anyone , do you have damn vulnerable linux iso file download direct link ? i need it
[03:55] <Lavinho> hello
[03:55] <naptastic> sacarlson, every boot attempt generates 26,000 packets of NFS traffic. :-)
[03:55] <thauriswulfa> rvn: no other solution? as i don't have ubuntu cd now
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> hasee: Have you stated your case/asked a question?
[03:55] <Anom_> sandyd, so put into software sources  "xorg-edgers" ?
[03:55] <Lavinho> boas noites
[03:55] <rvn> thauriswulfa: well you can't boot, so you can't do anything without a live disk of some sort, right?
[03:55] <Anom_> I thought it would be like   ppa:xorg-edgers-ppa  something..
[03:56] <sacarlson> naptastic: well if you see a repeat of a packet without responce?  maybe there is also info in nfs logs?
[03:56] <hasee> ??
[03:56] <rvn> thauriswulfa: you can make a live USB if you have access to another machine and you have a usb drive
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> nobodybk: this is ubuntu support, not damn vulnerable linux support
[03:56] <hasee> I have a netbook hasee and everything works perfectly, unless the suspension and hibernation, what can i do?
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> hasee: I can't state it any simpler
[03:56] <Anom_> but your saying just xorg-edgers sandyo
[03:56] <Boatingbum23> when i play movies in full screen. If its not HD I can usually see what looks like 4 horizontal lines that appear when the frames moving, or if it is HD it slows the video down, any way i can fix this without replacing the graphics card?
[03:56] <sandyd> Anom_: instructions are here https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[03:56] <Anom_> thanks !!
[03:56] <ayecee> hasee: the easiest thing to do is to avoid using suspension or hibernation.
[03:56] <xaueious> on my Android phone, I can run something called 'getevent' or 'getinput', and it shows me if the keys are actually being registered or not
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> hasee: what make / model is the netbook?
[03:57] <thauriswulfa> rvn: i have only puppy linux only now , no ubuntu download or  cd but i have ubuntu 10.10 server cd
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> xaueious: xev   is the same in linux
[03:57] <rvn> xaueious: xmodmap can do that, and it's used to remap too
[03:57] <rvn> thauriswulfa: puppy might not support teh filesystem you're using on ubuntu
[03:57] <rvn> thauriswulfa: by default ubuntu now uses ext4
[03:57] <thauriswulfa> no it supports
[03:57] <rvn> thauriswulfa: well if it supports it then don't worry, just use that to fsck it
[03:57] <thauriswulfa> rvn: its supports ext4
[03:57] <sandyd> Anom_: remember to install ppa-purge after you add repo
[03:57] <rvn> thauriswulfa: doesnt matter what linux
[03:58] <rvn> thauriswulfa: it's like using XP to repair Vista, it will still fix
[03:58] <thauriswulfa> rvn: how
[03:58] <thauriswulfa> rvn:
[03:58] <rvn> thauriswulfa: fsck /dev/sda1 (or whatever your hdd is)
[03:58] <xaueious> i'll google for a bit
[03:58] <thauriswulfa> rvn:
[03:58] <xaueious> thanks anyway :D
[03:58] <thauriswulfa> how
[03:58] <hasee> i dont know, its a chinese hasee netbook
[03:58] <rvn> thauriswulfa: stop spamming my name, i was typing
[03:58] <thauriswulfa> rvn:sorry
[03:58] <ZenMasta> anyone here know much about vsftpd? the channel is pretty dead and i'm having trouble uploading
[03:58] <ayecee> hasee: what model? it will say on the laptop somewhere.
[03:58] <hasee> but are all the same hardware (hasee)
[03:59] <ayecee> hasee: there are several hasee models
[03:59] <sandyd> Anom_: because if you install it, running "sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa" will return your system back to normal
[03:59] <naptastic> sacarlson, I am starting to think the fs I'm mounting into might be broken in some way. I'mma try something different...
[03:59] <hasee> wait a minute
[03:59] <Anom_> sandyd, install gallium ?
[03:59] <Anom_> sandyd, I am adding this edgers source
[03:59] <sacarlson> ZenMasta: I think vsftpd defaults to only allow read,  look in conf files
[03:59] <Anom_> should that put gallium into my packages ????
[03:59] <Anom_> sandyd,
[03:59] <Anom_> ?
[03:59] <sandyd> Anom_: add it, run "sudo apt-get install ppa-purge"
[04:00] <ZenMasta> sacarlson yeah I know, but I already edited the conf. I actually followed the ubuntu guide to set it up
[04:00] <sandyd> Anom_: then upgrade everything
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> hasee: netbooks use different hardware and this needs working around. Suspend can be quite tricky to get working. Depends on the hardware
[04:00] <Anom_> sandyd, ok
[04:00] <cogsworth> Is there any reason an 8 gig flash drive wouldn't support NTFS formatting
[04:00] <sandyd> Anom_: upgrading everything should give you gallium
[04:00] <hasee> ok
[04:00] <sacarlson> naptastic: I thought you said you mounted it from a booted system and it worked?
[04:00] <dhanijeremy> greetings... how do i manually create a bootable linux distro using USB?
[04:00] <cogsworth> I'm trying to format it to NTFS from GParted but it won't let me.
[04:00] <rvn> cogsworth: i find that linux sucks at formatting things in windows formats.
[04:00] <sandyd> Anom_: remember if it fails, ppa-purge is your friend.
[04:00] <rvn> cogsworth: but what do you mean "it won't let you"
[04:01] <cogsworth> rvn: I was able to format a partition to NTFS from the Ubuntu LiveCD.  And I mean it won't let me as in the ntfs selection is grayed out in GParted.
[04:01] <sandyd> cogsworth: you mean the option is greyed out?
[04:01] <cogsworth> sandyd: Yes
[04:01] <sandyd> cogsworth: ah. that. you have to install ntfs-utils
[04:01] <rvn> cogsworth: no idea.
[04:01] <rvn> cogsworth: ah yeah that would do that
[04:01] <cogsworth> ohhhh ok many thanks Sandyd
[04:01] <naptastic> sacarlson, yes, however I think I created it in an incorrect way, and in some subtle way, it will not boot.
[04:02] <helidude20> I just installed java6.22 from the repository. When I went to java.com to test it stated that the current version is 6.23. Will my system update to the latest version once it's available in the repository ? Thank you
[04:02] <sandyd> cogsworth: or whatever its called. I havent used ubuntu for a long time
[04:02] <hasee> the model is ME12X
[04:02] <Anom_> sandyd, ok perfect
[04:02] <naptastic> sacarlson, right now I am actually taking the hard drive I used to boot from and exporting the / partition over nfs; what I had tried was a copy of that partition made with find and cpio
[04:02] <Anom_> sandyd, ok upgrade or update >
[04:02] <Anom_> ?
[04:02] <naptastic> sacarlson, and I think maybe the copy missed something important.
[04:02] <sandyd> sandyd: "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[04:03] <ayecee> hasee: using what version of ubuntu?
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> hasee: let me see what I can find
[04:03] <sandyd> Anom: "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[04:03] <Anom_> upgrade hey
[04:03] <hasee> 10.10
[04:03] <hasee> ok
[04:03] <sacarlson> naptastic: ok
[04:03] <Anom_> ok upgrading
[04:04] <nobodybk> ActionParsnip: Sorry , but DVL support is no more :D , i just need help
[04:04] <naptastic> sacarlson, that was the problem, apparently
[04:04] <sacarlson> naptastic: cool
[04:04] <cogsworth> rvn: I'm having some trouble finding ntfs-utils in the repository, is there any chance you might have it and could point me to it?
[04:05] <naptastic> sacarlson, spoke too soon. It got to a login prompt and now will not login. GRR!!!
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> nobodybk: what is DVL?
[04:05] <rvn> cogsworth: i don't use the GUI, but you can open up a terminal when you know the exact name of what you want and type "sudo apt-get install <THING>", in this case ntfs-utils
[04:05] <sacarlson> naptastic: so if I upgrade with that backport then It should work for me then
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> hasee: have you contacted the supplier?
[04:05] <rvn> cogsworth: i dont use the GUI for the package manager, that is
[04:05] <cogsworth> rvn: Yes, I tried looking for it with aptitude and it isn't listed
[04:05] <cogsworth> rvn: I searched for "ntfs" and looked under all the utils listed
[04:05] <rvn> cogsworth: did you try apt-cache search ntfs-utils
[04:05] <rvn> yeah
[04:06] <rvn> sec.
[04:06] <hasee> ActionParsnip no because they are chinese
[04:06] <rvn> cogsworth: try ntfs-3g-utils
[04:06] <Wiesshund> cogsworth ntfsprogs
[04:06] <hasee> i cant contact they
[04:06] <needlez> ok so im back bencahill: been looking into your issue but didnt see anything promising
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> hasee: so, they should still support you
[04:06] <rvn> cogsworth: go with what he says
[04:06] <nobodybk> ActionParsnip: damn vulnerable linux
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> nobodybk: is it Ubuntu Linux?
[04:06] <linuxmonger> Is there a way to list channels in irc with Empathy? /list doesn't work. Am I missing something simple or is Empathy just weird?
[04:06] <rvn> nobodybk: go away.
[04:06] <cogsworth> Thank you Wiesshund
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> nobodybk: if its not Ubuntu from Canonical, it's not supported here
[04:07] <rvn> linuxmonger: just install pidgin and get it over with.
[04:07] <ayecee> hasee: I couldn't find any info related to your model. All I can suggest is a general suspend/hibernate troubleshooting guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144999.
[04:07] <Wiesshund> cogsworth eh i just remembered it cause i had to make some windows hard drives a while back
[04:07] <sacarlson> naptastic: maybe you forgot your password for this image?
[04:07] <cogsworth> Wiesshund: Is it a terminal-only utility or is it passive?
[04:08] <nobodybk> ActionParsnip: , rvn , you dont need to say that , this is support irc , and i dont spam here , so dont make anyone sad
[04:08] <rvn> cogsworth: both
[04:08] <rvn> cogsworth: the other programs utilize it
[04:08] <rvn> cogsworth: in the background
[04:08] <hasee> ayecee thanks, I'll check it now
[04:08] <Wiesshund> cogsworth once installed just re run gparted
[04:08] <rvn> cogsworth: but you could use it yourself
[04:08] <cogsworth> Ok, thank you both for your help!
[04:08] <linuxmonger> rvn: Thanks, that's the confirmation I needed, back in a few.
[04:08] <rvn> nobodybk: this is UBUNTU support irc, try ##linux
[04:08] <rvn> nobodybk: nobody will mind you asking there
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> nobodybk: this is ubuntu support only, you may get help in the channel for your distro or ##inux
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> ##linux

[04:10] <rvn> neither solution worked for me
[04:10] <naptastic> sacarlson, fstab was still trying to mount / locally. Trying again...
[04:10] <rvn> i have decided to upgrade to 11.04
[04:10] <sacarlson> naptastic: yes you said you can't login, so maybe password is different?
[04:10] <rvn> any other ideas?
[04:11] <Wiesshund> nobodybk each distro has its own tools quirks and widgets, thats why they all have thier own channels, some problems require distro specific answers
[04:11] <naptastic> sacarlson, the machine hangs after I type my username...
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> rvn: natty is discussed and supported ni #ubuntu+1
[04:11] <rvn> ActionParsnip: i wasn't talking about natty
[04:11] <rvn> ActionParsnip: the problem occured in 10.10
[04:11] <rvn> ActionParsnip: i am upgrading as a possible solution, but was curious if there were other ideas
[04:11] <sacarlson> naptastic: well fstab that should be easy to fix then
[04:12] <naptastic> sacarlson, indeed, and now I've booted into the full graphical environment :-)
[04:12] <Bluefever> Hey, not neccisarily a serious issue, but I can't find anything on google. So I keep trying to play The Penumbra demos for linux, both Overature and Black Plague, but neither will work. I mean after the video sequence , the screen says loading, then it goes away and its just black. I can't exit out of it, and I have to do a hard restart. This is the same for both demos. I've tried turning off the effects for my computer, no apps running in 
[04:12] <Nanoha> After I wget a *.bz2 file, how do I install it via the cli?
[04:12] <ayecee> Nanoha: what are you trying to install in bz2 format?
[04:12] <sacarlson> naptastic: ok time for my breakfast then
[04:12] <Anom_> sandyd, ok
[04:12] <Anom_> upgrade done
[04:12] <Anom_> although Google Earth sill looks like crap
[04:12] <rvn> Bluefever: anything proprietary for linux usually breaks after a while, and those aren't too new - 2007 iirc? - so they aren't likely to work on modern linux - try the windows version under wine, more likely to work.
[04:12] <Nanoha> ayecee: atheme-services-6.0.4.tar.bz2
[04:13] <naptastic> sacarlson, thanks for your help! :-)
[04:13] <Bluefever> good idea.
[04:13] <Wiesshund> rvn your havinf linux to win7 share troubles?
[04:13] <Bluefever> I'll try that.
[04:13] <hroberts> Can someone answer a couple of questions for me?  When I am installing server 10.10 and I select print server, is that only installing CUPS?  If I want a Windows PC to connect to it do I also need to select SAMBA
[04:13] <rvn> Wiesshund: yes.
[04:13] <Nanoha> ayecee: run after a wget command
[04:13] <Bluefever> I'll come back with results. @rvn
[04:13] <rvn> Bluefever: gl
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> rvn: java + flash work flawlessly here and are proprietary....
[04:13] <Wiesshund> rvn have you scoured your win7 box for the windows live sign in assistant?
[04:13] <rvn> ActionParsnip: because they are constantly updated
[04:13] <ayecee> Nanoha: tar.bz2 is not a package format. It's like a zip file, the contents could be anything. There's no one way to install it.
[04:14] <piercedwater> Will someone suggest a newsgroup reader/downloader/file assembler for Gnone?
[04:14] <rvn> ActionParsnip: i was referring to one-off proprietary software like games
[04:14] <ayecee> piercedwater: pan
[04:14] <piercedwater> Gnome*
[04:14] <Wiesshund> rvn which incidently seems it also come with live messenger updates
[04:14] <Anom_> Anom_, so I guess not much has improved then with these upgrades ?????
[04:14] <rvn> Wiesshund: no, but if it's on my machine it's due to the SP1 RC i'm running and it won't be going anywhere - it's a fairly fresh install, and there's no live essential packs or related
[04:14] <Nanoha> ayecee: okay, cool.  I know there is a tar command, but I don't remember all the swtiches.  Dont I need a special one for the .bz2 format?
[04:14] <hroberts> Can someone answer a couple of questions for me?  When I am installing server 10.10 and I select print server, is that only installing CUPS?  If I want a Windows PC to connect to it do I also need to select SAMBA
[04:14] <edbian> Anom_, Are you trying to talk to yourself?
[04:14] <ayecee> Nanoha: if you just want to extract it, then tar -xjf file.tar.bz2
[04:15] <Anom_> sorry
[04:15] <piercedwater> thanks ayecee
[04:15] <Anom_> sandyd, so I guess not much has improved then with these upgrades ?????
[04:15] <Omen_20> ok so why is skype in the software center if it comes from unverified sources? It wont let me install it. Retarded.
[04:15] <IdleOne> hroberts: yes to the samba
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> rvn: doom3 works amaznigly, World of warcraft, Halflife, return to castle wolfenstein, Penumbra
[04:15] <hroberts> IdleOne: Thanks
[04:15] <Wiesshund> rvn yea the live sign-in assistant doesnt need you to install the essentials though, one of the normal windows updates has it included. and it isnt really a needed tool, not any bother to remove
[04:15] <rvn> ActionParsnip: halflife and world of warcraft do not have native linux versions afaik
[04:15] <rvn> ActionParsnip: and penumbra isn't working, that's what sparked this
[04:16] <Wiesshund> rvn but it does break samba sharing
[04:16] <hroberts> can you recommend a good How to to configure this print server so i can manage it remotely using a GUI
[04:16] <rvn> ActionParsnip: i have a copy of Alien Crossfire for Linux and it won't work on a modern box, the suggestion from anybody i talked to was "get the windows version and use wine"
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> rvn: wow, works well here. Its a sweet game :)
[04:16] <rvn> yes but that is through wine, no?
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> rvn: no the native demo game
[04:16] <rvn> if blizzard released a linux version that'd be bigger news methinks
[04:16] <toon> Hi! Anoynoe knoes what´s up with hu.archive.ubuntu.com it seems gone down, or something?
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> rvn: definately
[04:17] <rvn> native demo game?
[04:17] <needlez> rvn: the day blizzard releases a native version id be happy
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> toon: change server in software centre, maybe its being maintained
[04:17] <rvn> i'm not seeing this in google, can you link me?
[04:17] <toon> k thx
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> rvn: yes, penumbra has a free demo version
[04:17] <skraps> for some reason probly really retarded but I cant declare a frikkin function in my bash script it driving me nuts http://pastebin.com/YW5b46iq
[04:17] <Wiesshund> Blizzard could release a linux version easily, i guess they just dont see enough market to put the customer support in place for it
[04:17] <rvn> ActionParsnip: oh that
[04:17] <hroberts> IdleOne: can you recommend a good How to to configure this print server so i can manage it remotely using a GUI
[04:17] <rvn> ActionParsnip: i thot u meant WoW
[04:17] <needlez> rvn, ActionParsnip: Linux native for SC2 would be sweet
[04:18] <rvn> ActionParsnip: bluefever came in here saying the penumbra demos would not work at all for him and i suggested the windows version which will likely function more readily
[04:18] <Nanoha> okay.  I untar'd it.  Now I run ./configure and then make.   Isn't there something else too?
[04:18] <edbian> hroberts, The reason that is hard is because Ubuntu server does not have a gui by default.  You first have to install one (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:18] <IdleOne> hroberts: maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ has some info
[04:18] <rvn> ActionParsnip: if you are able to get the demos to work on modern linux perhaps you should assist him
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> rvn: https://eu.battle.net/account/creation/wow/signup/  maybe
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> rvn: what's the nick?
[04:18] <hroberts> thanks guys
[04:18] <rvn> ActionParsnip: bluefever, as i said
[04:18] <skraps> ./user.sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[04:18] <skraps>  ui get this error, stf
[04:18] <Nanoha> make install (maybe?(
[04:18] <skraps> ./user.sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[04:19] <rvn> ActionParsnip: lol you noobhead - the "native linux demo" is using crossover, which is bundled wine
[04:19] <mykal> howdy all, having dvd issues. i have looked online and installed the relevant etc. suggestions. i dont get an error, just sits and never plays
[04:19] <rvn> ActionParsnip: it's "natively" bundled with wine..
[04:19] <Wiesshund> I do some work for Playnet, and thats the sole reason WWII Online never had a linux release, we actualy had a native test client up and running and it ran well, but there wasnt enough interest :(
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Bluefever: hey man, you after penumbra? ok, what video chip are you using and are you running (or able to run) desktop effects ok?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> rvn: are we wanting WoW or penumbra
[04:20] <rvn> ActionParsnip: bluefever wants penumbra demos to work
[04:20] <rvn> ActionParsnip: im talking about WoW tho
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> rvn: ok cool
[04:20] <hroberts> One last question and Im out:  Where is the setting to change the workgroup in ubuntu?
[04:21] <rvn> hroberts: the windows workgroup?
[04:21] <rvn> hroberts: i don't know if there's a GUI place to do it, but you can change it in smb.conf
[04:21] <Wiesshund> mykal does the dvd drive work in another OS? can you boot from it like on the live cd etc?
[04:21] <skilz> how can I have a remote ubuntu system email me it's ip adress each time it connects to the net?
[04:21] <hroberts> when I browse the network it shows as default, I would like it to say roberts
[04:21] <hroberts> smb.conf thanks
[04:21] <rvn> skilz: i think you'd have to write your own program for that
[04:21] <skilz> I want some script so when my sister connects I get an email with her IP.
[04:21] <rvn> or script
[04:22] <mykal> installed not long ago fromn the same drive, trying another dvd in it now to test the disk
[04:22] <Wiesshund> skilz you could sign it up for dyn-ip
[04:22] <edbian> skilz, well lets see.  The easy part is the script, the hard part is activating it
[04:22] <skilz> so then I can ssh into her system
[04:22] <rvn> well you could activate it via.. erm.. what was that
[04:22] <rvn> there's a startup script in *nix..
[04:22] <rvn> i'm rusty..
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> skilz: do you want the WAN IP or it's LAN IP?
[04:22] <rvn> rc.. something
[04:22] <skilz> internet IP
[04:22] <Wiesshund> rc_local
[04:22] <skilz> WAN
[04:22] <Wiesshund> ?
[04:23] <skilz> she uses mobile broadband
[04:23] <rvn> Wiesshund: the linux startup script that you can piggyback commands and other scripts onto
[04:23] <edbian> skilz, You want her public IP so that you can ssh into the machine
[04:23] <cj23> HI
[04:23] <Wiesshund> skilz just sign her of for free dyn-ip service
[04:23] <mykal> Wiesshund, another dvd, same issue
[04:23] <cj23> oops
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> skilz: why bother, just setup a no-ip account and install noip2 it will then refresh the IP in the account and you can use a name, just like you use names in your web browser instead of IPs
[04:23] <txdv> getting the wan ip adderss is easy, 3-6 lines in ruby
[04:23] <skraps> see it was me being retarded, sudo was killing me, rofl
[04:23] <mykal> Wiesshund, perhaps i have missed something
[04:23] <sacarlson> skilz: you could have it auto tunnel to you with openvpn  then her ip would always be the same
[04:23] <Wiesshund> mykal you got your liveCD handy? just quickly see if you can boot it?
[04:23] <skilz> I dont know the ip address but
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> txdv: its making life hard, could use a free dns service
[04:24] <mykal> Wiesshund, will try now
[04:24] <skilz> I have the computer her, I want to do all that before she gets it back and knows
[04:24] <Wiesshund> skilz just use a dun-ip service then she will always be sisterpc.blah.com
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> skilz: you don't need it. Setup an account then install the client on the PC which will update the IP in the DNS at regular intervals so if the IP changes, you dont care
[04:25] <skilz> ah ok
[04:25] <skilz> so dyndns?
[04:25] <cj23> wiesshound, shrinking and then enlarging didn't work becuase the drive adjecent to the one I want to resize is a logical drive : http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4cjy9v0f2esyhjw&thumb=6
[04:25] <sacarlson> skilz: with openvpn to your server it will also get past any firewall she hapens to be under at the time
[04:25] <Wiesshund> http://www.dyndns.com/
[04:25] <WhatToDo> where can i download codecs?
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> skilz: I suggest no-ip as there is an ubuntu service which runs in the background to update the address. I'm not aware if there is a dyndns app
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | WhatToDo
[04:26] <hasee_> WhatToDo in a terminal type sudo-apt get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:27] <sacarlson> skilz: if she connects from a wifi her IP won't help you connect to her even if you did know
[04:27] <needlez> WhatToDo: what codecs do you need?? if its ones for dvd playback and windows movie playback just install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:28] <txdv> Im glad that my moms internet connection has an external ip address
[04:28] <txdv> I can connect to her computer and do shit
[04:28] <IdleOne> txdv: please keep the language clean
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> txdv: all web connections have an external IP.....
[04:29] <Wiesshund> cj23 er wow that is kind of a mess
[04:31] <cj23> bucky is that like Captain Americas sidekick James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes
[04:31] <bucky> that's it!
[04:31] <Some_Person> How can I turn off this particular notification? http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4872/screenshotdu.png
[04:31] <cj23> ^^ cool
[04:32] <Wiesshund> cj23 im not really sure the best suggestion to clean that up, maybe ask ActionParsnip to look at the image?
[04:32] <cj23> ok
[04:32] <Wiesshund> I mean i got a suggestion but it's not the happiest one
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> Some_Person: usually you can just ignore it and it goes after a time
[04:33] <Some_Person> ActionParsnip: Not on Debian
[04:33] <cj23> reformat
[04:33] <KM0201> Some_Person: system/preferences/power management, click on the "general" tab... and in "Notification Area" change it to your desired setting
[04:33] <KM0201> Some_Person: if you'renot on debian, that sure looks like debian
[04:33] <KM0201> lol
[04:34] <zer0c00l> What is the version of python ubuntu 10.10 uses?
[04:34] <infectedbrain> Hello all
[04:34] <Some_Person> KM0201: No, I meant it doesn't go away on Debian
[04:34] <Some_Person> KM0201: Not on its own at least
[04:34] <KM0201> oh.. well then try what i said above
[04:34] <cj23> ActionParsnip:  I have a setup as shown http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4cjy9v0f2esyhjw&thumb=6 but I want to grow  C:. I cant shrink D: and use that space to enlarge C: becuase D is a logical drive in an extended partition... Got any ideas?
[04:34] <edbian> zer0c00l, 2.7
[04:34] <zer0c00l> edbian: thanks
[04:35] <infectedbrain> What irc client is better ... xchat or the gnome xchat
[04:35] <infectedbrain> JW
[04:35] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain depends on personal preference
[04:35] <needlez> zer0c00l: been watching Hackers too much??
[04:35] <infectedbrain> me?
[04:35] <KM0201> infectedbrain: personal preference.. i heard a joke that they called xchat-gnome "xchat-gnome", because "xchat-withallthefeaturesremoved" was to long.. :)
[04:35] <infectedbrain> in your opinion witch is better
[04:35] <Wiesshund> I use mirc of all things so just depends on which client you like
[04:36] <skilz> for some reason, when I click to play a movie with VLC it works fine, but if it opens with movie player, I can't see any video till I reboot?
[04:36] <Some_Person> KM0201: I want the icon to stay, but not the giant notification. I see no option for that
[04:36] <KM0201> !best | infectedbrain
[04:36] <infectedbrain> or witch has a more streamlined UI
[04:36] <skilz> It's so annoying, because the default player for video is movie player, how can I change it to VLC so it stays that way?
[04:36] <infectedbrain> ah. i see
[04:36] <ayecee> I'd think their UIs are virtually identical
[04:36] <Wiesshund> they are
[04:36] <AbhiJit> when i run vim it say its not installed ask your admin to install one of them. but when i run vi it runs and tellme its vim vi improved
[04:36] <AbhiJit> how ???????

[04:39] <winged_arel> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 via Wubi, then went to update. grub-pc wanted to update, so i did what the installer recomended to install toboth drives in my tower. now my windows bootloader is lost and i have a grub rescue prompt
[04:39] <cj23> ActionParsnip: are you busy
[04:39] <skilz> 10.04?
[04:39] <winged_arel> yes
[04:39] <AbhiJit> Wiesshund, no this is clean new install. i havnt created any alias. now i am installing vim
[04:39] <skilz> why not 10.10
[04:40] <winged_arel> i'm doing that LTS thing
[04:40]  * KM0201 uses LTS for 6mo :)
[04:40] <infectedbrain> What is the UA for windows?
[04:40] <winged_arel> UA?
[04:40] <infectedbrain> User Agent. it says to type that into the plugin
[04:40] <Wiesshund> AbhiJit eh ok im confused, i thought you said nothing runs when you type vim, but if you ran vi it was vim?
[04:41] <winged_arel> it just popped up with where i want grub to install, didn't ask anything about the UA
[04:41] <AbhiJit> Wiesshund, right
[04:41] <AbhiJit> Wiesshund, so now i am installing sudo apt-get install vim
[04:42] <infectedbrain> grub? sorry linux newb.... no its a plugin for firefox i have an idea of how to get netflix to work.
[04:42] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain what are you installing?
[04:42] <AbhiJit> Wiesshund, its solved. now vim is running!
[04:42] <infectedbrain> the plugin? Useragent switcher
[04:43]  * winged_arel is very confused now
[04:43] <infectedbrain> as am i
[04:43] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
[04:43] <infectedbrain> btw is there like a ctrl-alt-delete for linux?
[04:43] <sabgenton> is there any reason to use realvnc over ultravnc?
[04:44] <wolter> I need help enabling my audible bell, no settings will do
[04:44] <sabgenton> the ubuntu help doesn't mention realvnc for a windows choice
[04:44] <sabgenton> sorry
[04:44] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain dunno i use tightvnc cause it does opengl desktops properly
[04:44] <sabgenton> doesn't meantion ultravnc I mean *
[04:44] <winged_arel> infectedbrain: you can set one somewhere, but the kill-x keystroke is disabled by default
[04:45] <infectedbrain> ubuntu software center froze :(
[04:45] <sabgenton> I'm really just suprised https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Clients doesn't mention ultravnc
[04:46] <sabgenton> for a windows conection choice
[04:46] <infectedbrain> anyone know of a game project that needs a coder....an intermediate code but still...
[04:46] <sabgenton> but does mention realvnc
[04:46] <Anom_> hello
[04:46] <Anom_> need help
[04:46] <Anom_> I was following instruction
[04:47] <Anom_> I added edgers to my sources and did an upgrade
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> sabgenton: it's a wiki so you can add it
[04:47] <infectedbrain> um... how do i enable kill-x?
[04:47] <sabgenton> Wiesshund: does x11vnc not do opengl as well?
[04:47]  * winged_arel shrugs
[04:47] <Wiesshund> i did not think so sabgenton
[04:47] <sabgenton> ActionParsnip: yeah just wondering if it wasn't added for a reason
[04:48] <Wiesshund> i thought it was very sluggish
[04:48] <infectedbrain> knowbody knows?
[04:48] <winged_arel> i dont generally use ubuntu therefore i never bothered to elarn how to get ctrl+alt+backspace enabled
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> sabgenton: add it and the change will be reviewed
[04:48] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain you want to force kill X ?
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: try: #ubuntu-dev maybe or #ubuntu-gamer  (if it exists)
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> winged_arel: it's in keyboard settings
[04:49] <infectedbrain> okay
[04:49] <Wiesshund> i mean if you really want to force kill X, jump to a console and shut it down
[04:50] <Jankes> part of the channel where I have to look for Black Trac
[04:50] <skilz> For some reason, when I play a movie with VLC it works fine, but if it opens with movie player 'which is the default video player', I can't see any video till I reboot? It's so annoying, because the default player for video is movie player, how can I change it to VLC so it stays that way? I want so fix it too so I dont have to reboot so watch video and put up with the black screen.
[04:50] <coz_> Jankes,  you mean backtrack linux?
[04:50] <infectedbrain> i dont know how. i know its Kill <process ID> but i cant find the ID
[04:50] <ayecee> infectedbrain: service stop gdm is usually better
[04:51] <skilz> It's usually after I have played something with VLC, then I accidently play with movie player it shows blank.
[04:51] <ayecee> or is it service gdm stop?
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: ps -ef | grep something
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: the k is lowercase too. Kill != kill
[04:51] <mellin> clear
[04:52] <Jankes> coz, yes
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack | Jankes
[04:52] <Jankes> ys
[04:52] <mellin> What command do I use from command line to view a known local ip and the ports and nameserver information for said PC?
[04:52] <infectedbrain> how do i kill the software center from the terminal
[04:53] <mellin> infectedbrain: xkill and click on it
[04:53] <cj23> ActionParsnip:  With a configuration like this http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4cjy9v0f2esyhjw&thumb=6 is it possible to grow partition C:
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> mellin: you'd need to cat /etc/resolv.conf on the system to find it's nameservers. You can use nmap to scan for listening ports
[04:53] <modec> hey everyone when i try to run svn I get the following : "svnserve: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" . when I do ldd /usr/bin/svnserve it show libexpat.so.1 => /lib/libexpat.so.1 and the latter exists. any ideas?
[04:53] <mellin> Action
[04:53] <skilz> ^^^ Anyone? ^^^
[04:53] <infectedbrain> nobody knows?
[04:53] <Wiesshund> skilz right click movie, change default app
[04:53] <Jankes> ok dzieki
[04:53] <infectedbrain> ah thanks
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> cj23: which partition is C:??? C: means nothing in Linux
[04:54] <infectedbrain> ubuntu  is kickass
[04:54] <skilz> Winesshund. that would require doing to that to EVERY movie
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> cj23: any of those partitions can be C:
[04:54] <infectedbrain> except .... its boring sometimes
[04:54] <infectedbrain> well thanks
[04:54] <infectedbrain> exit
[04:54] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain on your tool bar is a force quit tool
[04:54] <skilz> bit hard when you have something like 2000+ pornos
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: boring how?
[04:54] <Wiesshund> the lower tool bar
[04:54] <ayecee> skilz: anyone what?
[04:54] <Wiesshund> skilz no you change the default app
[04:54] <cj23> sorry sda1
[04:55] <skilz> ayecee, For some reason, when I play a movie with VLC it works fine, but if it opens with movie player 'which is the default video player', I can't see any video till I reboot? It's so annoying, because the default player for video is movie player, how can I change it to VLC so it stays that way? I want so fix it too so I dont have to reboot so watch video and put up with the black screen.
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> cj23: you really need to ditch the 'drive' mentality dude
[04:55] <infectedbrain> cant find things to do.... my Windows 7 hard drive ..... has games..... and stuff.... ubuntu has no good games that i was able to find....
[04:55] <skilz> Wiesshund, ?
[04:55] <mellin> ActionParsnip: Ok thanks. I'm trying to figure out why Ubuntu sees the WORKGROUP, but can't retrieve a list of pcs with shares. I already installed samba and smbfs...then checked smb.conf for the workgroup name there to make sure it matched. Still no joy and when I issue smbclient -L <ip> it gives me a NT_Server status error
[04:55] <infectedbrain> compiz is cool tho
[04:55] <Wiesshund> skilz right clikc a video file, and change its default app
[04:55] <needlez> infectedbrain: use wine and play the windows games in Linux
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> mellin: if you run: smbtree    do you see PCs and shares?
[04:55] <ayecee> skilz: system->preferences->preferred applications
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> cj23: if you can resize sda5 then sure
[04:56] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain ubuntu has many good games, virtualy all your decent windows games to be exact, install wine
[04:56] <infectedbrain> i can never get wine to work without crossover... plus the HDD im running linux on is only 40 GBs
[04:56] <mellin> infectedbrain: It wasn't really designed for "playing games" although you can pay to have software let you run and install pc games under linux
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> mellin: is the sharing PC running windows 7?
[04:56] <infectedbrain> Fallout 3 doesnt work on wine
[04:56] <sacarlson> skilz: maybe if you uninstall movie player, if it doesn't work why keep it?
[04:56] <ayecee> skilz: movie player makes my whole screen blink once, but otherwise it works. I'm not sure what it's up to.
[04:56] <infectedbrain> No bethesda games do except for morrowind
[04:56] <mellin> ActionParsnip: Yes just a sec I need to check and see what smbtree tells us
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: penumbra, urban terror, Doom3 all run 100% native
[04:57] <skilz> I need movie player to watch youtube
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> mellin: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/
[04:57] <cj23> It doesnt let me resize sda5
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> skilz: use minitube
[04:58] <infectedbrain> riddick doesnt work.... i used to have a mac and i was an advocate for crossover....lots of my games dont work... and i have doom 3 installed on my windows drive....i wanted linux primarily to play open source games and to develop.... but yeah....
[04:58] <Wiesshund> skilz all you got to do is right click a movie file, and change the default app to the one that doesnt blank screen you
[04:58] <ikey> bleh
[04:58] <mellin> ActionParsnip: Yeah I figured as much, I'm just trying with limited skills to figure out if it is related to firewall, or something else. Smbtree lists out the information, but for the wrong PC
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbm8j4D1wTU
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> mellin: it has a fix
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: it does work
[04:58] <buttpacker> this channel almost has 1337 members
[04:58] <Wiesshund> there are quite a few free open source games in software center
[04:58] <mellin> ActionParsnip: I will check out your link. Thanks for the help!
[04:59] <skilz> Wiesshund, Thats not really 'fixing' the problem, thats just working around it...
[04:59] <ayecee> skilz: I think movie player is trying to change to a different video mode, but i don't know why.
[04:59] <infectedbrain> 1.1.8? Wow.... lol i was using 1.1.2. but still i have FO3 on my windows Sata drive..... wanted open source games....do ya know any good ones... preferable made with SDL or open gl so i can learn a bit from the code
[04:59] <buttpacker> Is Ubuntu best for Linux?
[04:59] <skilz> It's only since I installed my nvidia card
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: it does run though
[05:00] <ayecee> skilz: using ubuntu 10.10?
[05:00] <bazhang> !ot | buttpacker
[05:00] <skilz> Shouldn't have to reboot whole system just to watch video... yes ayecee
[05:00] <infectedbrain> ya.. i didn;t know the made a 1.1.8
[05:00] <infectedbrain> hm...
[05:00] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain eh you can get the source code for quake, thats openGL
[05:00] <buttpacker> quake is a good game
[05:00] <infectedbrain> really?
[05:00] <bjorn_248> hey quick question for you guys...usb sound cards should be plug and play even for ubuntu correct? Because I am not having that experience
[05:00] <infectedbrain> ya i have quake on my windows side
[05:00] <ayecee> skilz: I noticed that I didn't have the problem with nvidia's driver, but only with the nouveau driver that's the default in 10.10
[05:01] <cj23> ActionParsnip:  if I can't resize sda5, then you can't think of any other way?
[05:01] <infectedbrain> Bjorn i think u still need drivers
[05:01] <bjorn_248> oh, where can I acquire them
[05:01] <Wiesshund> id software released source code for doom heretic i think hexen, and quake. its on thier ftp
[05:01] <infectedbrain> what are you using
[05:01] <bjorn_248> I've done unsuccessful google searches
[05:01] <infectedbrain> Really epic i love all those games
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> cj23: you should be able to, the secret with this sort of thing is to plan your partitions
[05:02] <skilz> ayecee, It's a HDMI video card, it gave me audio problems too, I didnt have sound, so I had to mute the hd audio device and install alsatools
[05:02] <bjorn_248> well it's a usb sound card, but I have no other information other than Model: AD-AND01
[05:02] <bjorn_248> wait
[05:02] <infectedbrain> bjorn find the chipset of the card and then look for drivers for those. i needed to do that with my wireless card
[05:02] <bjorn_248> Model: AD-SND01
[05:02] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain mind you sourcecode doesnt include any level maps, or game assets of course
[05:02] <Wiesshund> but you can see how the game engine works, mod it etc
[05:02] <infectedbrain> i understand that. but i have the levels and i think doom builder 2 makes quake lvls
[05:03] <bjorn_248> i have no idea how to find out the chipset
[05:03] <bjorn_248> here's the funny thing though, it worked the first time I tried it
[05:03] <bjorn_248> it just stopped working
[05:03] <infectedbrain> well i am new to game programming learning SDL now.... but yeah.... suck to be all self taught ..... there is not 1 person i know besides my school IT guy who knows anything about programming
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> bjorn_248: lsusb   will help identify it
[05:04] <infectedbrain> bjorn yeah sorry past this point cant help ya.... im new to linux myself
[05:04] <bjorn_248> it's ok, I have some experience
[05:04] <infectedbrain> let me find those source codes
[05:04] <Wiesshund> bjorn try typing lsusb in the terminal
[05:04] <Naeblis> I just installed xubuntu and had a terminal problem which is apparently bug 621927. Can't find an xfce fix for it.has it been released yet?
[05:04] <bjorn_248> ActionParsnip: I don't see any sound devices popping up
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> bjorn_248: try: sudo lshw -C sound
[05:04] <bjorn_248> hold on a sec
[05:05] <Wiesshund> bjorn_248 lsusb should show detailed info bout your usb audio
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: keep an eye on the bug you have found,when it gets closed it is solved
[05:05] <bjorn_248> aha
[05:05] <bjorn_248> Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0c76:1607 JMTek, LLC. audio controller
[05:05] <infectedbrain> what language are those codes written in?
[05:05] <bjorn_248> maybe now I can figure it out on my own
[05:06] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain which codes?
[05:06] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain like doom quake etc? c++
[05:06] <infectedbrain> the doom source codes. and quake ones... i understand them not.
[05:06] <infectedbrain> really?
[05:06] <infectedbrain> hm.
[05:06] <Wiesshund> or is it just C
[05:06] <Naeblis> Yeah, that's the plan. Its annoying that the terminal keeps saying its not fully functional.
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: I think I've had this. try adding to ~/.bashrc     exprt TERM=xterm      then try opening a terminal
[05:07] <Wiesshund> nah im sure quake is c++
[05:07] <infectedbrain> i cant read c... but c__ has ben gaming industy standard since the 80s though right?
[05:07] <Naeblis> Umm...no idea how to do that. New to linux :)
[05:08] <jgcampbell300_> I am looking for advice ... i would like an ipblocker ... i have been using moblock + moblocker on my ubuntu desktop but i am building a server and would like to start off solid so what would be the best ipblocker to install on a server ?
[05:08] <KipMacy> ʎǝʞ ʍoɹɹɐ dn ǝɥʇ buıʇʇıɥ ʎɹʇ
[05:08] <Wiesshund> infectedbrain eh depends, some game devs used other stuff back then, and in the 80's most games were for mac or commodore
[05:08] <RaidZoft> Anyone here that have experience using FreeNX? I have been experiementing with it but I am seeing a very high CPU load when using it, is this to be expected?
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: press ALT+F2 and run:  mousepad ~/.bashrc    add the text to the end of the file
[05:08] <agu10^> hey
[05:08] <infectedbrain> i know macs can use c++ apps but commadore 64 is before my time
[05:08] <agu10^> how can I use the modified 7zip SFX module??
[05:08] <agu10^> I don't understand... there's no executable
[05:09] <agu10^> only .sfx files
[05:09] <agu10^> and the docs don't say anything about it
[05:09] <Wiesshund> in the 80's ? compiles apBasic and i think the commodore was a form of GWbasic or Basica
[05:10] <Wiesshund> and there was also logo
[05:10] <agu10^> help
[05:10] <infectedbrain> yeah DUke Nukem was made with quick basic .... amazing someone could make anything like that with Qbasic
[05:10] <bazhang> infectedbrain, Wiesshund please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:10] <mykal> wiess
[05:10] <mykal> Wiesshund,
[05:10] <Wiesshund> sorry bazhang
[05:11] <infectedbrain> no all written with c... adn preprocessor stuff... i hate that stuff..
[05:11] <Wiesshund> mykal?
[05:11] <mykal> Wiesshund, sorry mate, live cd works fine
[05:11] <Naeblis> AntionParsnip:Can't open file to write when I try to save it
[05:11] <Wiesshund> mykal ok well that is good it means you drive isnt toasted
[05:11] <mykal> still get no error and no dvd
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: your user should have a ~/.bashrc file or there will be issues
[05:12] <Wiesshund> mykal is your dvd drive set to auto mount?
[05:12] <mykal> Wiesshund, tried 2 different disks,movieplayer still wont play and no error
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: if you press ALT+F2   can you run: xterm    ?
[05:12] <mykal> the disk shows immediatly on the desktop when i insert it
[05:13] <infectedbrain> is anyone here interested in teaching some programming to a inthusiastic ....person (what is like 1 level above script kiddie)
[05:13] <Wiesshund> mykal oh? and it knows the disk title?
[05:13] <jetole> Hey guys. I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my workstation at the office and it seems like my ssh keys are being password protected automatically through ubuntu. I delete the key. Create a new one (rsa 2048 bit), ssh-copy-id the key to a server. Test it. Log out of the xsession and log back in. ssh back to the server and I am receiving "Enter passphrase for key '/home/jetole/.ssh/id_rsa.pub':" which has no passphrase applied and when I hit enter I am then ...
[05:13] <jetole> ... prompted for the password to login to the server hence my key is not being used. Also, after I log out and log back in, my public key (not the private key) now has the permissions 0644 which causes an alert from openssh client as well that I have insecure permissions on my key. Can someone please tell me what part of ubuntu is breaking my keys so I can tear it the hell out of my system?
[05:13] <Naeblis> yes
[05:13] <bazhang> !ot | infectedbrain
[05:13] <mykal> Wiesshund, yes
[05:13] <desaiu> what is the name of the program at the bottom of the screen on the panel which shows me which windows are opened, and allows me to switch between them, minimize, etc. i want it on my topbar
[05:13] <Wiesshund> mykal hmm but you can not open it when you click it?
[05:13] <jetole> p.s.: This has never happened for me from ubuntu 6.06 through 10.10 nor has it happened in any other distro or even another OS
[05:13] <infectedbrain> sorry... what is ubuntu written in... PYTHON?
[05:13] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip : yes
[05:13] <jetole> *6.06 through 10.04
[05:14] <bazhang> infectedbrain, please stop with the offtopic
[05:14] <mykal> it will open movie player, but just sits and does nthing, shoutl i try vlc?
[05:14] <infectedbrain> it had to do with ubuntu though?
[05:14] <bazhang> infectedbrain, this is not the channel for it
[05:14] <Wiesshund> mykal try to open the dvd just in your file manager
[05:14] <maco> indoctrinated: depends what program, ok? some stuff's C, some's python, some's vala...
[05:14] <infectedbrain> okay okay relax.... sorry
[05:14] <maco> indoctrinated: apt-get source $packagename   to see the source code and find out for yourself
[05:14] <desaiu> window switcher, got it
[05:14] <mykal> Wiesshund, that works, it shows the contents
[05:15] <IdleOne> maco:  I think you meant infectedbrain
[05:15] <Wiesshund> mykal ok then i think your dvd drive is fine
[05:15] <jetole> infectedbrain: 1 level above script kiddie uses guns to rob liqour stores in person
[05:15] <maco> IdleOne: erm yep
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: great, ok run:   echo "export TERM=xterm" > ~/.bashrc
[05:15] <maco> infectedbrain: read what i said up there ^
[05:15] <ranjan> is there a linux version of Editshare Lightworks available?
[05:15] <Wiesshund> mykal try to copy a small file of the dvd just to test
[05:15] <jetole> infectedbrain: /join ##c
[05:15] <maco> indoctrinated: ignore that. mis-tabbed
[05:15] <bazhang> !equvalents | ranjan
[05:15] <bazhang> whoops
[05:16] <bazhang> !equivalents | ranjan
[05:16] <jetole> infectedbrain: /connect irc.perl.org
[05:16] <infectedbrain> hm....
[05:16] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: did it.
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: when you use the xubuntu terminal (not sure what it uses) then it should work
[05:16] <mykal> Wiesshund, copy to desktop works
[05:17] <Wiesshund> mykal ok your drive is fine, you can try an alternate player if you want, but the problem isnt the drive
[05:17] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: It works!
[05:17] <mykal> Wiesshund,
[05:17] <Naeblis> Thanks
[05:17] <mykal> Wiesshund, vlc opens it fine
[05:17] <ranjan> bazhang, but recently it became opensource
[05:18] <mykal> Wiesshund, guess it's a bug report
[05:18] <bazhang> ranjan, then check out their homepage
[05:18] <ranjan> bazhang, and they have plan to release linux version
[05:18] <Wiesshund> mykal ok good. i cant say whats up with movie player, i can tell you i have alot of troubles with it
[05:18] <Wiesshund> granted i am usualy opening oddball video formats, but i have the codecs for them so
[05:19] <janspues> alguien ke me ayude a desintalar el wine
[05:19] <maco> !es | janspues
[05:20] <civpro> is there something i can add to a command to respawn the service if it dies?
[05:20] <janspues> okas grax amigo...........
[05:20] <civpro> i got 2 services i need to restart if they crash out
[05:20] <civpro> so i dont get pestered all the time
[05:22] <Diamondcite> civpro: You could always try to make a cronjob which checks for the presence of the process name for the said services and then restarts as needed?
[05:23] <civpro> yes i was thinking the same thing, but where do i find a tutorial for the bash file to create
[05:23] <civpro> thats where im stuck as there are 2 processes im worried about
[05:23] <civpro> one is ./authserver and the other is ./worldserver
[05:23] <Diamondcite> If they freeze I have no idea..
[05:23] <Anom_> anyone here know anything about gallium ?
[05:24] <civpro> no they dont freeze they crash
[05:24] <Anom_> what is it ?
[05:24] <Diamondcite> I only know how to deal with things that go boom! =P
[05:24] <Anom_> a program or a driver ?
[05:24] <naptastic> So, I finally have diskless network booting working, except now the networking on my client is all messed up. Mounting things over NFS works and that's it.
[05:24] <Anom_> !gallium
[05:24] <naptastic> DNS just... doesn't work. Help?
[05:24] <ayecee> naptastic: how are you testing dns?
[05:25] <ayecee> naptastic: like, ping? what happens when you try?
[05:25] <Diamondcite> civpro: Things to look up,, "ps auxw | grep procesname" "grep "./" "wc -l" "If (results<1) then restart" or something like that.
[05:26] <naptastic> ayecee, I can ping computers inside my network by IP address but not by hostname.
[05:26] <naptastic> ayecee, I have not yet succeeded at pinging anything outside my network.
[05:26] <MadRobot> Hi all.
[05:26] <MadRobot> How do I fix this error? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/323697/
[05:26] <naptastic> ayecee, correction: I can ping things outside my network by IP address.
[05:26] <ayecee> naptastic: check your /etc/resolv.conf, make sure there's nameservers in there?
[05:27] <ayecee> MadRobot: that looks more like an url
[05:27] <MadRobot> ayecee, It's a BADSIG error, obviously.
[05:28] <naptastic> ayecee, yep, resolv.conf is empty. Do I need to restart anything after making changes?
[05:29] <ayecee> naptastic: I don't think so
[05:29] <gluonman> My visual effects are broken, and I'm having a hard time figuring it out.  I have nVidia driver260.19.29 installed, compiz is the window manager, and all my effects (desktop cube, etc.) are enabled, but desktop effects "cannot be enabled".  This happened right after breaking grub by attempting to install burg.  I accidentally deleted the grub directory after grub broke, and just reinstalled it.  What about reinstalling grub broke m
[05:29] <gluonman> y visual settings, and how can I restore them?
[05:29] <MadRobot> ayecee, I've been unable to update my computer for a long time because of it, and I tried many possible solutions but nothing seems to work.
[05:29] <ayecee> MadRobot: was this previously working? when did it stop working?
[05:29] <naptastic> ayecee, correct! It seems to be working now. Thank you!
[05:29] <ayecee> :)
[05:30] <MadRobot> ayecee, I don't remember exactly when, but it's been bothering me since 10.04.
[05:30] <mOHawk> ok silly question i'm using 10.04 ubuntu and regularly use 10.10 ubuntu on another laptop now i can't remember where compiz is under i can't find it :P
[05:30] <ayecee> MadRobot: it might work with apt-get --allow-unauthenticated, though I guess that's more of a workaround than a fix.
[05:32] <ayecee> MadRobot: the fix would be to install the signing key for maverick packages, though I don't know how to do that off the top of my head.
[05:32] <MadRobot> ayecee, ...
[05:32] <MadRobot> ayecee, Ya know what's the ultimate solution?
[05:32] <Wiesshund> mOHawk under system >prefs > compiz settings manager, but you may need to install it
[05:32] <mOHawk> thx
[05:33] <bazhang> !gpgerr | MadRobot
[05:33] <gluonman> I'm suffering from completely broken visual settings (ubuntu 10.10) immediately following re-installation of a broken grub.  All my settings are enabled, and everything seems to be there.  How can I fix my visual settings/compiz?
[05:33] <agu10^> can you help me?
[05:33] <bazhang> gluonman, what is burg
[05:33] <agu10^> I can't find a way to use 7zip modified SFX modules
[05:33] <agu10^> anybody familiar with 7zip SFX modules?
[05:33] <gluonman> bazhang, it's a more stylish grub.
[05:33] <bazhang> gluonman, in the ubuntu repos?
[05:34] <agu10^> the docs talk about config.xml, but don't tell me how to create the self-extractor whatsoever
[05:34] <agu10^> any clues?
[05:34] <mOHawk> ok not there? i don't see it listed hmmm i don't think i took it out but compiz is running
[05:34] <ayecee> agu10^: aren't those like zip sfx, where the regular decompressor works?
[05:34] <gluonman> bazhang, not standard repos
[05:34] <agu10^> ayecee, idk
[05:34] <ayecee> agu10^: oh, you're trying to _create_ a 7zip sfx.
[05:34] <agu10^> ayecee, how is that?
[05:34] <bazhang> gluonman, so unsupported 3rd party stuff?
[05:34] <agu10^> no, I want to create a self extractor
[05:34] <agu10^> a binary file
[05:34] <agu10^> an executable
[05:34] <agu10^> that extracts itself
[05:34] <ayecee> agu10^: for use on what platform? windows, mac, linux?
[05:34] <gluonman> bazhang, burg is grub.  It adds OS icons
[05:34] <agu10^> windows
[05:34] <kernalogs> 7zip sfx is a windows binary
[05:35] <bazhang> gluonman, seems unrelated to compiz, you could certainly ask in #compiz though
[05:35] <agu10^> yes
[05:35] <MadRobot> ayecee, The ultimate solution is that the glorified geeks at the Ubuntu development team should get back in that lab, close the door behind them and come up with better, less painful way to deal with packages, imho. -_-
[05:35] <ayecee> agu10^: haven't the foggiest clue, sorry.
[05:35] <agu10^> :/
[05:35] <ayecee> MadRobot: thanks for sharing.
[05:35] <agu10^> anywhere I can ask?
[05:35] <bazhang> gluonman, its not supported, and not seemingly related to compiz issues
[05:35] <ayecee> agu10^: nothing comes to mind
[05:35] <bazhang> agu10^, ##windows
[05:35] <MadRobot> ayecee, Anytime. :)
[05:35] <LinoSP|net> hi     do u recommend to install 10.10 or 10.04 ????
[05:35] <ayecee> LinoSP|net: yes
[05:35] <gluonman> bazhang, you're suggesting it's a pure coincidence that all my graphics completely broke at the exact same time that grub did?
[05:36] <agu10^> ok
[05:36] <agu10^> I'll try that
[05:36] <Wiesshund> gluonman maybe silly question but is your gfx driver loaded?
[05:36] <LinoSP|net> ayecee:  yes what?
[05:36] <ayecee> LinoSP|net: yes, I recommend to install 10.10 or 10.04
[05:36] <bazhang> gluonman, there's not a connection that I can see. again compiz issues in #compiz , burg issues in their support forums
[05:36] <gluonman> Wiesshund, may not be the silliest question, actually, because I kind of assumed it was
[05:37] <LinoSP|net> both????
[05:37] <kernalogs> 7zip is similar to bzip2 .bz2 but slighly differing format
[05:37] <gluonman> bazhang, you're not understanding that this is not a burg or compiz complaint/question.  This is visual effects in ubuntu.
[05:37] <ayecee> LinoSP|net: nah, that'd take far too much space.
[05:37] <bazhang> gluonman, which would point to what Wiesshund asked
[05:37] <Wiesshund> gluonman might wanna check its actualy loaded and not running in a generic default
[05:38] <gluonman> bazhang, Wiesshund yeah, I'm on it.  thnx
[05:38] <mOHawk> MadRobot: u think this is a painful way to deal with packages i remember when you had to do packages almost manually without synatic package manager
[05:38] <rodneymillerpca> This might be somewhat off subject. My apologizes if it is. Is there any java ide's for complete noobs other then eclipse and netbeen that run on ubuntu?
[05:38] <ayecee> LinoSP|net: if you're on a home system, 10.10 is probably the way to go. It has the most up to date software.
[05:39] <ayecee> rodneymillerpca: nothing comes to mind. eclipse rocks my world.
[05:39] <cryptodira> anyone here with ANY toshiba laptop that has a functional microphone.... and... is running 10.04 amd64 ?
[05:39] <kernalogs> similar performance to 7zip/bz2 but maybe slightly better is BWTS before a deflate
[05:40] <MadRobot> mOHawk, I agree, mate. But I still think the way we deal with packages these days is in bad need for renovation (unless there's something wrong with that..).
[05:40] <kernalogs> i use netbeans 6.9.1, it has full screen render issues but fine otherwise
[05:40] <rodneymillerpca> ayecee thanks. I'm working with an open source project that the creators just ignor my question with and I'm stuck hard.
[05:40] <LinoSP|net> ayecee: 10.04 updates  aren't equal  as the 10.10 ones?
[05:40] <ayecee> LinoSP|net: no.
[05:41] <ayecee> rodneymillerpca: hate it when that happens. what are you working on, out of curiosity?
[05:41] <mOHawk> see your point but it would leave away from open source (i think?)
[05:42] <kernalogs> maybe libc should backport this for floats http://sites.google.com/site/jackokring/Home/mith-the-maths-package-for-java-me
[05:43] <rodneymillerpca> ayecee arianne game engine. I'm stuck with the client not seeing the correct server version and their recent update has it checking in like 10 different places. I been asking politely for assistance and getting ignored in the arianne chat.
[05:44] <mykal> secret maryo chronicles wont play, from terminal error is $ smc
[05:44] <mykal> Error : Screen mode creation failed
[05:44] <mykal> Reason : Couldn't find matching GLX visual
[05:44] <ayecee> rodneymillerpca: how long did you wait? A lot of those chats have 12+hr turnarounds. If you can find a mailing list, it might be a better venue.
[05:44] <mOHawk> but maybe linux is heading in that direction anyways?
[05:44] <mykal> $ smc   Error : Screen mode creation failed   Reason : Couldn't find matching GLX visual
[05:45] <rodneymillerpca> ayecee: working on it a few days. They are  in the chat just bumping over me.
[05:45] <ayecee> rodneymillerpca: I'd suggest to post a proposed solution instead of a question, though. Takes to long to answer a question, but almost no time to say why your solution is wrong :D
[05:46] <bjorn_248> well it looks like I am back
[05:46] <bjorn_248> JMTek, LLC. audio controller
[05:46] <bjorn_248> can't get it working
[05:46] <Wiesshund> mykal An error message that has puzzled many a X user is "Couldn't find matching GLX visual" (or similar) — it means that the program tried to use a GLX visual that was not available on that X server. A possible solution is to change the color depth to something that supports the requested capabilities.
[05:47] <bjorn_248> google hasn't helped
[05:47] <beautifulmiracle> hi everyone
[05:47] <bjorn_248> is there a generic usb audio module/driver I should be using?
[05:47] <ayecee> bjorn_248: I imagine not. "X not working" queries don't work well in google.
[05:47] <bjorn_248> well that's not what I wrotwe
[05:48] <rodneymillerpca> ayecee: true however it is just a simple question as whee is it catching the wrong version number? You use to be able to just change it in one place and boom. Now it is hard coded so many odd ways. rofl
[05:48] <ayecee> well, why did you write it here? :P post the symptoms, errors, etc.
[05:48] <beautifulmiracle> I just bought a pnp dvd writer for my netbook.  It's not working and I'm extremely new to ubuntu.  Google hasn't helped much either
[05:48] <mykal> Wiesshund, so change my resloution. or try find a switch for the game
[05:48] <mykal> ????
[05:49] <ayecee> bjorn_248: for instance, I don't know whether your device is not recognized, is recognized but doesn't play audio, sets the computer on fire, nothing!
[05:49] <bjorn_248> ok well, I have this usb sound card, I want to use it for ubuntu since my main card (Creative X-fi Xtreme) is unsupported, but it doesn't work right now, and I'm trying to get it to work
[05:49] <Wiesshund> mykal yes, or verify you have your proper video drivers installed. nvidia right?
[05:49] <bjorn_248> if I lsusb I see the device
[05:49] <Aleiex> few hours ago some upgrades installed via manager, and now i see that my pannels are transparent like windows 7
[05:49] <Aleiex> or im crazy?
[05:49] <ayecee> bjorn_248: same problem. what does "doesn't work" mean? what happens when you try?
[05:50] <ayecee> (computer bursts into flames?)
[05:50] <ayecee> Aleiex: maybe?
[05:50] <beautifulmiracle> I can't play dvd's with any player nor do i see the dvd on the comp anywhere
[05:51] <bjorn_248> kind of the same issue with my main internal sound card, but that is a lost cause...the forums told me that my specific sound card just does not work with anything (ALSA, OSS, anything)...when I try playing audio nothing happens, no sound, but the device appears in preferences, sound
[05:51] <Wiesshund> Aleiex i cant say as mine are always like that because of compiz
[05:51] <bazhang> !dvd | beautifulmiracle
[05:51] <Aleiex> Wiesshund Iknow, i have active transparency in compiz, but it affect all
[05:51] <Aleiex> even the words
[05:52] <ayecee> bjorn_248: how are you testing?
[05:52] <ayecee> bjorn_248: i.e. with what program are you testing?
[05:52] <beautifulmiracle> I'll check that out thanks
[05:52] <bjorn_248> two methods...the "Test" button in Preferences sound, and also I have an mp3 file that I am trying to play, I realize that not playing a file might be caused by the player, but no system sounds are happening either, so I'm assuming it's the system
[05:53] <mykal> Wiesshund, yes. nvidia, followed the install of the ubuntu help forums
[05:53] <Wiesshund> Aleiex might be your emerald theme, not sure though
[05:53] <skilz> Is it possible the watch a movie in console wtih mplayer and also have irssi running behind it?
[05:53] <ayecee> bjorn_248: checked the mixer settings, I guess? alsa mutes devices by default, it seems
[05:53] <skilz> I got the mplayer console movie part happening...
[05:53] <Wiesshund> mykal try lowering the video settings of the game, if that doesnt work, make sure your video driver is active
[05:54] <bjorn_248> where can I access the mixer settings ayecee
[05:54] <nmvictor> any fortran ide for linux and maybe specifically ubuntu?
[05:54] <mykal> the game wont start for me to get that far, just lowered the desktop settings, no joy
[05:54] <nmvictor> any fortran ide for linux and maybe specifically ubuntu?
[05:54] <ayecee> bjorn_248: there's usually a volume icon in the upper right, can also find it in system->preferences->sound
[05:54] <Aleiex> any way to check keys form keyboard?
[05:54] <bazhang> nmvictor, apt-cache search fortran should show
[05:55] <Wiesshund> mykal dont know the specifics of your game, but it must have a config file someplace where you can edit resolution etc
[05:55] <bjorn_248> i have no volume button in the upper right, also nothing like that in preferences sound
[05:55] <skilz> mkaay_, what game are you trying to run?
[05:55] <mykal> Wiesshund, will have a look
[05:55] <ayecee> bjorn_248: nothing like what?
[05:55] <bjorn_248> no mixer
[05:56] <ayecee> bjorn_248: do you have a volume slider in system->preferences->sound?
[05:56] <bjorn_248> output volume yes
[05:56] <ayecee> that's a mixer.
[05:56] <bjorn_248> ah
[05:56] <ayecee> do you have an output tab?
[05:56] <bjorn_248> yes
[05:57] <ayecee> which device is selected for output?
[05:57] <bjorn_248> I've selected the correct hardware, and tried every output module, as well as selecting the correct hardware in the output tab
[05:57] <MadRobot> mOHawk, The problem is that not all project make their public key (if any) easily visible.
[05:57] <MadRobot> projects*
[05:58] <bjorn_248> I would like to know if there is a generic driver I need to make this work
[05:58] <desaiu> what is equivalent of registry editor for ubuntu? docky is starting on my external monitor and i want it to start on my laptop monitor. i remember fixing this by going into something like a registry editor for ubuntu
[05:58] <nmvictor> bazhang, gives me some compilers, GNU compilers and alot of other stuff like lib packages, no specific line talking of IDE. Do people still use fortran? I hate our curriculum,
[05:58] <ayecee> bjorn_248: it sounds like you already have the generic driver, otherwise it wouldn't show up at all.
[05:58] <Wiesshund> ayecee maybe its muted in alsamixer ?
[05:58] <bjorn_248> alrighty, so then my problem is an alsa module?
[05:59] <ayecee> Wiesshund: is that more different than gnome mixer?
[05:59] <Wiesshund> bjorn_248 you said it worked once right?
[05:59] <bjorn_248> yes, when I first plugged it in, for a very brief period
[05:59] <Wiesshund> ayecee yea kind of, you run it in terminal and it has settings you cant normaly see
[06:00] <Wiesshund> bjorn_248 there is the possibility it is defective, have you tested it in another machine or OS?
[06:00] <bjorn_248> alright I'm in alsamixer but it won't let me pick the usb card because " This sound device does not have any controls.    "
[06:00] <agentgasmask> Hi. During a dist upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04, I get: "/var/cache/apt/archives/PACKAGE" "Subproces installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2". I get this error on 10+ packages. It is still telling me about them (ie. I'm not finished the upgrade). Two questions: One, Should I be writing the package names down for later trouble shooting? Two, Is this a sign of a faild upgrade?
[06:01] <bjorn_248> sweet
[06:01] <bjorn_248> alright
[06:01] <bjorn_248> i just had to go into alsamixer
[06:01] <bjorn_248> terminal
[06:01] <bjorn_248> the volume was all the way down in alsamixer
[06:01] <bjorn_248> but in preferences sound it was maxed
[06:01] <DasEi> agentgasmask: there is not much sense in downwriting; let it fisch, then try to fix with apt/dpkg, maybe from init 1
[06:01] <Wiesshund> rofl
[06:01] <bjorn_248> how annoying
[06:01] <FloodBot2> bjorn_248: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:01] <mOHawk> MadRobot: sometimes might have to work around project keys but i know the feeling it's not all clear and dry to be able to make programs work properly and like in my case somethings don't happen the way i like them to
[06:01] <bazhang> !enter | bjorn_248
[06:01] <bjorn_248> sorry, I was excited :)
[06:02] <bazhang> agentgasmask, does the installation stop? in the version upgrade?
[06:02] <MadRobot> mOHawk, Exactly.
[06:02] <DasEi> agentgasmask: case of resisting failure, will get the info in the later, too
[06:02] <Wiesshund> bjorn_248 yea alsamixer is a handy little tool some times
[06:02] <mOHawk> MadRobot: unexpected results lol
[06:02] <bjorn_248> well thanks for the headsup about alsamixer Wiesshund :)
[06:02] <nmvictor> I dont have a ~/.bashrc, nor a ~/.profile, My terminal looks weired [http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=1686]! Please help
[06:03] <mOHawk> MadRobot: i mean for me
[06:03] <MadRobot> mOHawk, I see.
[06:03] <Wiesshund> bjorn_248 one of my boxes has 4 clock locked sound cards, i visit alsamixer alot unfortunately
[06:03] <agentgasmask> bazhang: The install is only waiting for me to click "continue" after I have read the message about the package. So far pressing continue has only lead to more messages.
[06:03] <DasEi> nmvictor: its /etc/bash.bashrc
[06:03] <bjorn_248> it actually has a pretty nice interface
[06:05] <DasEi> nmvictor: also you can configure the appearance of terminal from the upper bar of it
[06:05] <Wiesshund> ok, im off to bed, got a job interview tomorrow
[06:05] <bonjoyee> Wiesshund: good luck for the interview!
[06:05] <mOHawk> it be nice if video cards divers software were plentiful on linux i can't use the driver software for this machine it will blank out the screen
[06:05] <cryptodira> anyone here with ANY toshiba laptop that has a functional microphone.... and... is running 10.04 amd64 ?
[06:06] <Wiesshund> thanks bonjoyee i need the job
[06:06] <DasEi> good luck
[06:06] <agentgasmask> Wiesshund: Yes, Good luck! :)
[06:06] <bonjoyee> Wiesshund: im in the same boat:)
[06:06] <nmvictor> DasEi, what?! bjorn_248, do you mean my terminal, seriously i'd give anything to get the other one, this one has no bash completion , for instance i'd have to type the full pckg name after `sudo apt-get install`, please help
[06:07] <DasEi> nmvictor: get out of x-server, purge and reinstall terminal..
[06:07] <DasEi> nmvictor: first read then do:
[06:07] <agentgasmask> bazhang: Any other info?
[06:07] <DasEi> nmvictor: sudo service gdm stop

[06:08] <taha> I have a vostro 1320 laptop with (properly installed) nvidia 9300M GS graphic card. Suspend successfully works. Also it seems computer successfully goes into hibernate (data is writed to disk, and computer shutted down). but after boot up a clean login page appears (sessions lost).

[06:08] <nmvictor> DasEi, then ..

[06:08] <myradlife_> Does anyone know the proper way to run the ipupdate daemon for the dnsexit.com dns server? It inexplicably quits periodically and I have to keep restarting it.
[06:08] <DasEi> nmvictor: should do it
[06:09] <DasEi> first cmd logs you off
[06:09] <nmvictor> DasEi, giving that a shot!

[06:13] <CheBuzz_Home> I am trying to build something from source the requires the binary libgnutls-config, but it is not to be found on my system.  I have installed gnutls-bin gnutls-dev pkg-config to no avail.  Anybody know what I have to install to get libgnutls-config?
[06:13] <taha> fizy[laptop], it's a problem with your graphic card, do you change xorg.conf?
[06:13] <fizy[laptop]> whats xorg.conf? im somewhat new to linux
[06:14] <CheBuzz_Home> Is there some kind of apt-cache command, similar to yum --whatprovides?
[06:14] <fizy[laptop]> taha whats xorg.conf? im somewhat new to linux
[06:15] <ayecee> CheBuzz_Home: I'd check http://packages.ubuntu.com, however that filename isn't found in any packages.
[06:16] <DasEi> CheBuzz_Home: I'm not 100% on that, but try python-gnutls
[06:16] <agentgasmask> I get a: "subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2" error on many packages in an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04. What should I do?
[06:16] <DasEi> CheBuzz_Home: what do want to compile ?
[06:16] <Omen_20> Is there a way to get Evolution to allow the graphics in emails? In browser it asks you and so does Thunderbird. I dont see where Evolution allows it.
[06:17] <CheBuzz_Home> DasEi: iksemel, for asterisk 1.8 chan_gtalk and chan_jabber
[06:17] <CheBuzz_Home> DasEi: And no, python-gnutls did not provide it.
[06:18] <taha> fizy[laptop], do you change your display configurations?
[06:18] <fizy[laptop]> they are at the defaults
[06:19] <fizy[laptop]> oddly enuf, i dont have any display configurations. my laptop monitor wont show up in the config diag
[06:19] <fizy[laptop]> i cant change any of the settings
[06:20] <DasEi> CheBuzz_Home: libiksemel3 for jabber is in the repo, and also a dev-package
[06:20] <Lint> Omen_20, switch to HTML mode first?
[06:21] <CheBuzz_Home> DasEi: Ah, I tried iksemel, and thought I did an apt-cache search for it, but didn't see anything.
[06:21] <agentgasmask> Anyone?
[06:21] <CheBuzz_Home> Thanks.

[06:23] <raviepic3> i have ubuntu 10.04 64 bit gnome

[06:24] <DasEi> raviepic3: default install it's in the gdm package, yet to be configured to appear or not
[06:24] <raviepic3> DasEi, System-> Admin -> login screen aint giving me any options to change
[06:25] <taha> fizy[laptop], you face the terminal after installation or after a change in display configuration?

[06:31] <kanja> should I file a bug?
[06:32] <DasEi> GRUB*, GHH
[06:32] <GHH> DasEi, Yeah i was did it but still get the big wallpaper/screen(called Ubuntu)
[06:32] <needlez> quick question could someone help me with creating a C wrapper for suspend or sleep instead of shutdown?? I have one for shutdown made but would rather perfer on of the other two
[06:33] <acidrayne> hello
[06:33] <DasEi> GHH:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""            .. save n close.. sudo update-grub
[06:33] <hunting> Neither alsa nor my padevchooser can find input or output sound devices anymore
[06:34] <DasEi> GHH: there you are
[06:34] <GHH> DasEi, OK i was did these but doing it again
[06:34] <Guest15720> Anyone online good with Javascript?
[06:34] <GHH> thanks/
[06:34] <DasEi> GHH: problay missed the update
[06:34] <needlez> anyone got any ideas?? about my question??
[06:34] <DasEi> needlez: sorry, didn't read it
[06:35] <hunting> Anybody able to direct me where I can get some help for the sound problems?
[06:35] <DasEi> !sound | hunting
[06:36] <quietone> anyone use gtg? How to use synch with evolution?
[06:36] <needlez> DasEi: wanting to know if someone knows how to write a C wrapper to sleep / suspend a computer so i can add it to my script, so I dont have to keep giving my password for pm-suspend
[06:36] <DasEi> raviepic3: success ?
[06:36] <colonas> hunting: what happens if you start a sound player, like totem?
[06:36] <kanja> my python path doesn't include dist-packages, which is where pip installs packages to. Anyone know how I can add that to my system python path?
[06:36] <hunting> colonas: They'll play. No sound, though
[06:36] <greppy> needlez: are the acpi tools/libraries not enough?
[06:37] <colonas> hunting: I suggest you follow the path outlined by ubottu.
[06:37] <hunting> colonas: My sound was working. I was setting up a backport to get my mic working. When I restarted, nothing could find either device
[06:37] <needlez> not really, I think you helped me yesterday with the C wrapper for shutdown
[06:38] <hunting> colonas, Okay. Thanks.
[06:38] <greppy> needlez: that was a shell script, not a C program.
[06:38] <DasEi> needlez: you could try shutdown -H  for sleep, and then call the script initally as root (sudo)
[06:40] <needlez> greppy: im trying to write a script that tells totem to close after so long but then after close for it to put the computer to sleep ... only the issue is that it requires root priveleges for suspend commands and for shutdown commands, so I had someone help me make a c wrapper that does the same thing as shutdown and added it to me as users. any ideas??
[06:40] <CheBuzz_Home> According to this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/srtp, srtp should be a valid package, but trying to apt-get it gives me "Couldn't find package srtp"
[06:40] <greppy> needlez: you could have sudo not require a password for those commands from your username.
[06:41] <needlez> DasEi:  still requires root so no good
[06:41] <needlez> greppy: I don't want to remove my password because while this is my laptop that posses a security risk
[06:42] <colonas> needlez: your user password won't protect your laptop, only full disk encryption will.
[06:42] <DasEi> needlez: I thought you started the script manually, and then can leave it unattended
[06:42] <greppy> needlez: you don't remove the password, you just don't require a password for sudo to shutdown or suspend the computer.
[06:42] <CheBuzz_Home> But on my (non-server) Ubuntu machine, it finds it just fine.
[06:43] <needlez> DasEi: yes thats what i want to do is start and go to sleep, and for the computer to automatically go to sleep after totem closes
[06:43] <hunting> No soundcards were found, and the fix they gave isn't working
[06:43] <greppy> needlez: for instance, this in your sudoers: "needlez ALL=NOPASSWD: /path/to/your/script"
[06:43] <needlez> greppy: ok so I can make it so pm-suspend no longer requires sudo?? or a password to run?? please explain
[06:44] <needlez> greppy: did that yesterday and broke sudoers
[06:44] <greppy> needlez: or: needlez ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
[06:44] <Guest15720> anyone online good with basic javascript?
[06:44] <needlez> greppy: is there a way to change permissions of pm-suspend with chown or something like that??
[06:44] <colonas> Guest15720: ##javascript
[06:45] <Guest15720> ty sir
[06:45] <DasEi> needlez: so a while with totem's pid then close, call by sudo; to follow greppy : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=134968
[06:45] <abhilash> can anyone tell how to install matlab
[06:45] <hunting> No soundcards were found, and the fix they gave isn't working
[06:45] <greppy> needlez: yes... but that is really not a good idea.  making the one commnad usable by your user with no password is a better option.
[06:46] <needlez> greppy:  I was just going to change pm-suspend so it doesnt require root to run so then I can run it as normal from script
[06:46] <greppy> needlez: it needs root to run
[06:46] <needlez> ok
[06:47] <CMXILies> how would one hide the icons on a desktop? It has happened a few times when I let my friends use my system, but I can't seem to do it on purpose.
[06:47] <CMXILies> ubuntu 9.04
[06:47] <greppy> if you add "needlez ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend" using visudo, you should be able to run "sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend" and it not require a password.
[06:47] <needlez> kk
[06:48] <DasEi> needlez: both work, and even simpler : if you know the time, simple give it to shutdown, then lock the screen
[06:49] <Anom_> hi
[06:49] <Anom_> anyone heard of Gallium ?
[06:50] <needlez> DasEi: i have already told it to kill totem after 2 hrs but even so it still requires me to add something to shutdown or put it into sleep mode. For some reason gnome-power-manager is messed up on my computer
[06:51] <DasEi> needlez: first try shutdown -H, which works different on different machines, (why no complete shutdown ?), then can : sudo shutdown -H -t 120, enter pas once once, then xscreensaver-lock
[06:52] <Ascavasaion> How do I force the BIOS to detect a hard disk.  Its autodetect detects it as a 2Gb HDD and it is actually a 10Gb.  I cannot get to the cylinders, heads and sectors fields to manually change it as I have done before.
[06:52] <DasEi> needlez: neither there is an open rootshell then nor can the box be accesed without users pass
[06:54] <DasEi> Ascavasaion: some reason can be true: jumpers on the hd, wrong bios setting, wrong table (make new one with gparted)
[06:54] <Ascavasaion> DasEi: This is in the BIOS/CMOS.  It detects it as 2Gb, and the HArd disk is actually 10Gb.
[06:55] <DasEi> Ascavasaion: I assume ide at the size, so any settings like ahci, compatible.. around ?
[06:55] <yuva> hi.. i need to create a file in etc of ubuntu can anyone help me
[06:55] <DasEi> Ascavasaion: does the board also provide sata ?
[06:56] <Ascavasaion> DasEi: The problem is not with Linux, it is in the BIOS.
[06:56] <DasEi> yuva: gksudo touch /etc/SomeFile
[06:56] <peeps[lappy]> what package do i need to install if I see this message when trying to ./configure a program from source?   configure: error: GL is required
[06:56] <Ascavasaion> yuva: umm... sudo vi /etc/filename ?
[06:56] <DasEi> Ascavasaion: I got it
[06:56] <yuva> dasei: how to save that file after editing
[06:57] <DasEi> yuva: gksudo gedit /etc/SomeFile, press the save button or save as in menu..
[06:57] <YANAwiro> hi guys.
[06:57] <YANAwiro> whois is here???
[06:57] <DasEi> !support
[06:58] <YANAwiro> you can talk me
[06:58] <YANAwiro> i am new user of ubuntu
[06:58] <DasEi> YANAwiro: welcome here, generic chatter in #ubuntu-oftopic
[06:58] <DasEi> off*
[06:58] <rollman> Ascavasaion: i don't believe this is the case for you but i had that happen once when i partitioned the hard drive to a lower capacity and also had it partitioned to a higher capacity above the capacity of the fixed disk
[06:58] <raviepic3> DasEi, you had a look at the paste ?
[06:59] <raviepic3> DasEi, why am i asking this because i dont know whether this is a success or not
[06:59] <YANAwiro> excuse me , but talk little Englis
[06:59] <Anom_> hello
[06:59] <YANAwiro> hahah
[06:59] <Ascavasaion> rollman: Naaah, this is in the CMOS itself... when you detect hard disks and CDROMs.
[06:59] <hunting> Can I get some help with my sound?
[06:59] <DasEi> raviepic3: no.. please repeat (nick missed ?)
[06:59] <rollman> k
[06:59] <Anom_> anyone here know how to install edgers / gallium ?????   I installed the PPA and did an upgrade, but now Wine won't install..
[06:59] <YANAwiro> but  I can talk little
[06:59] <raviepic3> DasEi, you want me to repeat the issue i have ?
[06:59] <DasEi> YANAwiro: your language ?
[06:59] <YANAwiro> Spanish
[07:00] <DasEi> raviepic3: the pastie I missed
[07:00] <raviepic3> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/pJxVjg24
[07:00] <DasEi> !es
[07:00] <YANAwiro> Quechua and little AYMARA
[07:00] <yuva>  dasei: i opened with ur coomand and wrote something but am not geting how save and come back to terminal
[07:00]  * Blue1 wishes he were more spanish literate
[07:00] <YANAwiro> I am from PER{U
[07:00] <YANAwiro> I am from Peru
[07:01] <DasEi> raviepic3: first read, then do :
[07:01] <DasEi> raviepic3: sudo service gdm stop
[07:01] <Blue1> !es | YANAwiro
[07:01] <Anom_> YANAwiro, I want to go to Tiwanaku !
[07:01] <YANAwiro> Now developed my project about Artificial Inteligence
[07:01] <YANAwiro> ok
[07:01] <DasEi> raviepic3: sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm && sudo apt-get install gdm && sudo service gdm start
[07:01] <YANAwiro> thanks
[07:02] <Blue1> YANAwiro: lo siento - mi no se habla espanol muy bueno
[07:02] <DasEi> raviepic3: first cmd will stop the desktop environment
[07:02] <Ascavasaion> How do I force the BIOS to detect a hard disk.  Its autodetect detects it as a 2Gb HDD and it is actually a 10Gb.  I cannot get to the cylinders, heads and sectors fields to manually change it as I have done before.  It is an old machine, but I want to install a lightweight Linux distro onto it so my mother can surf a bit, and play MP3s.  The motherboard has no discerning features either... no name, make, model, etc.
[07:02] <YANAwiro> Welcome Anom, my heart and the all my brothers peruvian is open
[07:03] <YANAwiro> visited too BOSQUE DE PIEDRAS DE HUAYLLAY
[07:03] <Anom_> YANAwiro, check your PM
[07:03] <YANAwiro> what is PM
[07:03] <Blue1> Ascavasaion: wow that is an old machine
[07:04] <DasEi> YANAwiro: another TAb in your messenger :)
[07:04] <Ascavasaion> Blue1: hehe :)
[07:04] <tehbaut> does ubuntu keep a record of the command line output beyond the scrollback?
[07:04] <Anom_> YANAwiro, on the left
[07:04] <Eagle> Hi all :)
[07:04] <greppy> Ascavasaion: if it is old enough, it may not support that large a disk.  What kind of CPU does it have?
[07:04] <Anom_> you'll see Anom_
[07:04] <Blue1> tehbaut: yes .bash_history
[07:04] <Anom_> under #ubuntu
[07:04] <Ascavasaion> greppy: AMD Duron 900MHz
[07:04] <yuva>  dasei: lz help me
[07:04] <DasEi> tehbaut: no, but you can set how far the scrollback last and also there is a command history
[07:04] <greppy> tehbaut: the output? no.
[07:05] <Blue1> tehbaut: just uparrow at the command line prompt and you can scroll thorugh it
[07:05] <Anom_> YANAwiro, PM is Private Message
[07:05] <DasEi> yuva: gedit is open ?
[07:05] <tehbaut> I need the output, unfortunately
[07:05] <greppy> Ascavasaion: it is entirely possible that it doesn't support a 10G hdd.
[07:05] <Ascavasaion> greppy: It autodetects another 20Gb HDD correctly... it is just this specific Fujitsu hard disk.
[07:05] <DasEi> ...huh
[07:05] <yuva>  dasei: yes.. then how to save and come back to terminal
[07:06] <Blue1> Ascavasaion: should work, I put ubuntu 10.04 onto a compaq deskprro 733 mhz
[07:06] <YANAwiro> DasEi : I can't understand
[07:06] <greppy> Ascavasaion: then it is possible that that drive and that bios are not compatible, it does happen.
[07:06] <DasEi> yuva: menu on the left upper corner, save, close
[07:06] <YANAwiro> excuse me...
[07:06] <Ascavasaion> Blue1: It will work, the moment I figure this BIOS out.  Never had a BIOS where I could not manually tweak cylinders, heads and sectors.
[07:06] <Ascavasaion> greppy: Sigh... thank you.
[07:07] <Blue1> Ascavasaion: you might try seeing if there is a bios upgrade
[07:07] <DasEi> Ascavasaion: old drives often have jumpers,limitting capacity,too, see above
[07:07] <DasEi> Ascavasaion: pm you ?
[07:07] <Ascavasaion> DasEi: I will have a look around.
[07:07] <Blue1> Ascavasaion: what DasEi said
[07:07] <Ascavasaion> DasEi: Sure.
[07:08] <tehbaut> is there a way to visualize where data is on a partition? I need to see where a previous dd copy started failing due to errors
[07:09] <Eagle> Hi, I have a code that I know is to wipe a hard disk permanently, how do I tell it to wipe a specific Hard Drive? And is it correct?   ~$ sudo su /home/ubuntu # dd if = /dev/zero of=/dev/sda
[07:09] <tehbaut> the errors output got clipped by the scrollback
[07:09] <Ascavasaion> greppy: It is not a duron... I was mistaken.. it is an AMD Athlon 900MHz
[07:09] <bobthemilkman> Lovely.
[07:09] <bobthemilkman> I just overwrote I file that I didn't want to overwrite in my /home directory.... What's the easiest way to recover it?
[07:10] <greppy> Ascavasaion: since it works with the 20g, I am guessing it may be something specific to that drive or that drive and that bios together.
[07:10] <Blue1> Eagle: not clear what your objective is...
[07:10] <yuva>  dasei: there is no save option, only i have open terminal.open tab,close window.new profile:(
[07:10] <Ascavasaion> greppy: The Drive never detects properly in any machine... but on the other BIOSes I was always able to manaully enter cylinders, heads and sectors.  This BIOS does not allow it.  Extremely odd.
[07:10] <DasEi> yuva: ..
[07:11] <DasEi> yuva: gksudo gedit /etc/SomeFile, press the save button or save as in menu..
[07:11] <Eagle> 	
[07:11] <Eagle> Blue1: The  objective is to wipe my hard drive... Completely.
[07:11] <Blue1> bobthemilkman: usually if you overwrite a file, then the file can't be recovered. afaik.  if you delete a file, that can be recovered.  I could also be wrontg, but that's been my experience
[07:12] <Blue1> Eagle: you'd be doing this with a livecd then, yes?
[07:12] <Eagle> Blue1: ya ;-)
[07:12] <Blue1> Eagle: okay where I am confused is why you wanted to be in /home
[07:13] <tehbaut> Blue1: I believe it depends on where that file was on the drive, physically
[07:13] <solofight> DasEi: omg, i uninstalled the gdm, but not able to install using apt-get install because it not detecting my lan connection
[07:13] <Blue1> tehbaut: true but finding that out can be tricky
[07:13] <solofight> i tried ifconfig eth0 up
[07:13] <solofight> even then
[07:13] <solofight> i am locked out now
[07:13] <solofight> help help
[07:14] <yuva> DasEi: thanks a lot
[07:14] <greppy> Blue1: you may want to look at http://www.dban.org/
[07:14] <Blue1> omw
[07:14] <benjr> how do i do a search by mime type?
[07:14] <vivian> can someone tell me how to create a datetime content type?
[07:14] <Blue1> ahh thanks
[07:14] <tehbaut> bobthemilkman: you might still recover it... just not sure what software to use on linux... windows has Recuva, that's all I've ever used personally
[07:14] <Eagle> Blue1: Thats why im asking for help I found the code on the net, forget which site, but It did not look right, so do you understand what im getting at?
[07:14] <benjr> vivian: touch -t STAMP, perhaps
[07:15] <solofight>  DasEi you there ?
[07:15] <DasEi> solofight: yupp
[07:15] <Blue1> Eagle: well that would certainly write zeroes to the drive, if that's what your intention is.
[07:15] <solofight> DasEi: i am locked out of my linux gui now
[07:15] <DasEi> solofight: new nick; the grub ?
[07:15] <solofight> cause i uninstalled gdm and not able to install it back cause of net connection
[07:16] <benjr> how do i do a search by mime type?
[07:16] <solofight> it not detecting my net lan conn, when i say apt-get install gdm it says failed to fetch
[07:16] <solofight> Err
[07:16] <DasEi> solofight: ravi.. it is then
[07:16] <solofight> DasEi: yes
[07:17] <DasEi> solofight: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[07:17] <Eagle> Blue1: Yes that is my intention, to write Zero's and one's to the hard drive. You see it second hand and I want all the info off it. What code would you recomend ?
[07:18] <DasEi> Eagle: dd by /dev/zero, or for secure deeltition man wipe
[07:18] <Blue1> Eagle: well the dd that you had would only write zeroes
[07:18] <benjr> Eagle: i use a tool thats part of a bootdisk called "UBCD"
[07:18] <solofight> DasEi: done, and then tried to ping, no good
[07:19] <DasEi> solofight: sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0
[07:19] <solofight> DasEi: i connect through lan now,
[07:19] <Eagle> Blue1: What should I do? Write zero's only, one's only or the two of them?
[07:20] <benjr> Eagle: http://www.dban.org  "DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis"
[07:20] <benjr> its gpl
[07:20] <Blue1> Eagle: I'd follow what DasEi has said
[07:20] <DasEi> solofight: sudo dhclient
[07:21] <DasEi> solofight: connection back ?
[07:21] <solofight> awesome DasEi dhclient did the trick, if i have not configured using dhcp how will i have recovered from this ?
[07:21] <cache_surplus> how can i tell what cpu i have? in cmdline... syntax?
[07:21] <DasEi> solofight: later, get desk back first
[07:22] <solofight> DasEi: yeah already hit apt-get install gdm
[07:22] <DasEi> solofight: sudo apt-get install gdm && sudo service gdm start
[07:22] <DasEi> fine
[07:22] <benjr> cache_surplus: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:22] <solofight> done, got it :)
[07:22] <cache_surplus> thanks
[07:22] <cache_surplus> you mean less?
[07:22] <DasEi> cache_surplus: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:22] <solofight> DasEi: done :) got the desk :)
[07:22] <ggeorgy> do you know a way to increase volume in video file??
[07:23] <cache_surplus> got it, less /proc/cpuinfo thanks
[07:23] <DasEi> solofight: and now want eth0 for dhcp in regular ?
[07:23] <benjr> cat shows all, less shopws some info
[07:23] <cache_surplus> ?
[07:23] <cache_surplus> shopws?
[07:23] <Eagle> Blue1:  benjr:   DasEi:   Thanks I will be right on that   >:-)    :-))
[07:23] <cache_surplus> whats that
[07:23] <cache_surplus> ohhhh shows, got it
[07:23] <cache_surplus> really?
[07:23] <cache_surplus> im scared of cat
[07:24] <cache_surplus> i like more or less :)
[07:24] <cache_surplus> safer
[07:24] <FloodBot2> cache_surplus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:24] <benjr> cat only outputs, it doesnt edit, no need ot be scared
[07:24] <solofight> DasEi: i want to know how would i have recovered from the situation where it did not detect my network, even when i hit ifconfig eth0 up
[07:24] <cache_surplus> FloodBot k
[07:24] <cache_surplus> ill think about it
[07:24] <solofight> DasEi: without using dhclient
[07:24] <DasEi> solofight: ifup allows options , too, like dchp or static address, man ifup tells more
[07:25] <rollman> lol i @ cache_surplus i did that once in assembly in windows wrote a program to write to the cpu to change coding and forgot about the protect mode and gave me all the info about my cpu including serial number processor make, model etc
[07:25] <DasEi> solofight: can you now unlock/alter your loginscreen ?
[07:25] <ggeorgy> ???
[07:25] <greppy> solofight: you would have needed to edit /etc/network/interfaces to configure eth0
[07:25] <cache_surplus> rollman: wow
[07:25] <solofight> DasEi: i am able to unlock but no options to change the login screen there
[07:25] <rollman> thats what i thought
[07:25] <tehbaut> Anyone know why dd starts fast but slows to a crawl on one of my drives? Even if I stop it and start again (seeking to a point beyond the existing copied data), it still starts out generally quick, but speed seems to rapidly degrade. I don't get it.
[07:26] <DasEi> cache_surplus: cat /etc/cpuinfo > cpuinfo.txt,  for catphobics
[07:26] <cache_surplus> lolol DasEi
[07:26] <solofight> greppy: what should i type in that file ?
[07:27] <benjr> how do i do a search by mime type?
[07:27] <cache_surplus> i think cat is faster than more or less, i mean at spitting out info, rather than paging through it
[07:27] <greppy> solofight: take a look at "man interfaces" and/or zless /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz
[07:27] <cache_surplus> the only time i like to use cat is in DasEi's example or if im doing a grep, but really less does the same thing at my level of understanding
[07:28] <cache_surplus> i couldnt tell the diff of cat and less, can anyone?
[07:28] <solofight> greppy: thank you on it
[07:28] <cache_surplus> on a flat file i mean?
[07:28] <greppy> cache_surplus: most uses of cat and grep are redundant, just an fyi
[07:28] <maco> cache_surplus: depends how long the file is
[07:28] <solofight> DasEi: same old screen there, able to unlock it but no options to change it
[07:28] <greppy> cat dumps output to standard output, less or more, are pagers.
[07:29] <cache_surplus> greppy: my thoughts.. example i did a select * from a table in mysql, without setting pager to more/less and i was there for like 10 mins... waiting
[07:29] <benjr> i dont like the way less puts on a seperate page of sorts, that disappears again, usualy i need to use the information in ym next command, so its easier if tis still on the screen
[07:29] <cache_surplus> greppy: correct.
[07:29] <pZombie> exit #ubuntu
[07:29] <pZombie> oops
[07:29] <cache_surplus> lol pZombie
[07:30] <greppy> cache_surplus: yup, been there and done that before :)
[07:30] <cache_surplus> greppy: you know what i mean, lol
[07:30] <DasEi> solofight: you will have to log out again and run gnome control-center then, quite usefull, a second box
[07:31] <yuva> DasEi: can se edit files in etc directly as in windows
[07:31] <DasEi> yuva: yes, but systemfiles as in /etc have ownership of root, so call gedit with gksudo
[07:32] <DasEi> !gksudo
[07:32] <cache_surplus> do you guys suggest not loading both kde and gnome on one machine? or it shouldnt matter
[07:32] <cache_surplus> oh and edubuntu
[07:32] <yuva> DasEi: so that we no need use termina.
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: doesn't matter
[07:33] <benjr> cache_surplus: ive had both on a machine befire
[07:33] <cache_surplus> ActionParsnip: it wont corrupt or something funky
[07:33] <DasEi> solofight: so this connection will stay up while acting command line on the gdm-fuzzle ?
[07:33] <techbreak> how to extract .tar.gz file ?
[07:33] <cache_surplus> whats that hidden file called .something were you can change desktop managers on the fly?
[07:34] <yuva> DasEi: plz help i am new to ubunru....
[07:34] <DasEi> cache_surplus: you only run one environment a time, and mostly apart from performance the libs work togther
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: you can install as many DEs as you like. You just choose which to run at logon
[07:34] <cache_surplus> yuva: whats your question? in plain English, thanks
[07:34] <DasEi> yuva: I do, but I didn't get your last question
[07:34] <cache_surplus> ok
[07:34] <nixjr> techbreak: tar -xvwzf myfile.tar.gz
[07:35] <cache_surplus> but whats that file called? its .something in home dir
[07:35] <DasEi> techbreak: for lazies : install the needed formats and unp
[07:36] <cache_surplus> ok, now if i load up all 3 desktop managers, kde, gnome, edubuntu, what about my graphics config?
[07:36] <nixjr> How do I perform a find by mime type?
[07:36] <techbreak> NixGeek, DasEi it shows like this "extract `statusnet-0.9.6/Changelog'?
[07:36] <techbreak> "
[07:36] <cache_surplus> isnt kdm and gdm diff regarding how compiz is run
[07:36] <yuva> i installed drupal in  ubuntu,,, so i need to create some files ,copy ,delete which is saved in /etc so plz hlp how to do yhis oeration.
[07:36] <cache_surplus> or my nvidia.config
[07:36] <nixjr> techbreak, its waiting for a yes or no, type "y" or "n"
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: there is also openbox, lxde, fluxbox and xfce I  can think of quickly. There are more than just Gnome and KDE available
[07:36] <cache_surplus> ActionParsnip: i know, but im talking about those specifically
[07:37] <DasEi> cache_surplus: gnome.conf problably,  navigate to the dir you want to search and press ctrl+h to see the hidden files, or use locate (thou need exaact name then)
[07:37] <yuva>  i installed drupal in  ubuntu,,, so i need to create some files ,copy ,delete which is saved in /etc so plz hlp how to do this operation.
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: i believe edubuntu uses gnome
[07:37] <DasEi> techbreak: right sofar
[07:37] <cache_surplus> DasEi: im a cmdline guy thanks for the hotkeys though
[07:37] <cache_surplus> ActionParsnip: yah this is going to be a demo box
[07:38] <techbreak> DasEi, nixjr its asking for each n every file
[07:38] <cache_surplus> i just dont wan the xserver choking during switching
[07:38] <techbreak> DasEi, nixjr alot of files are there... am I suppose to hit y for every thing ?
[07:38] <cache_surplus> is there an authorized howto on switching between kde and gnome regarding xserver
[07:38] <DasEi> yuva: as said, these files belong to root, so gksudo for graphical apps, sudo for terminal comands..
[07:38] <cache_surplus> opps and compiz

[07:39] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: edubuntu is a gnome desktop with some educational apps by default. Its not much different to ubuntu
[07:39] <niklasfi> hi i can't get my ntfs usb drive to mount properly. my fstab options are: rw,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 but still i cannot write to it. what am i doing wrong?
[07:39] <cache_surplus> kde, gnome then, is my concern and xserver
[07:40] <cache_surplus> and compiz
[07:40] <nixjr> techbreak, the -f command should force it and it shouldnt be prompting you, if it is then im affraid im not sure howto help, im very new myself
[07:40] <DasEi> yuva: cp = copy, mv= move, rm = remove (delete)carefull with that if you are new to it, better do it graphically so it deletes to the bin, and not to unrevorable gone
  i installed drupal in  ubuntu,,, so i need to create some files ,copy ,delete which is saved in /etc so plz hlp how to do this operation.
[07:40] <bobthemilkman> Okay, so I accidentally overwrote a file that I didn't want to overwrite. I'm about to run Okay, so I've unmounted my /home, and I'm about to run "reiserfsck --rebuild-true -S -l /root/recovery.log /dev/sdb2", but is there a better way?  Note that I don't have any 250GB drives just lying around that I could use to backup the drive.
[07:40] <bobthemilkman> Errr, a copy/paste in there made some strange English, but the problem remains.
[07:40] <cache_surplus> here is my point, i dont think there is a quick simple switch ability, there is going to be a certain amount of extra configs each time or restarting of gdm or kdm,, so forth so on...
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: are you accessing it as the first user you made?
[07:40] <hunting> Can somebody help me with some sound problems
[07:40] <hunting> ?
[07:40] <DasEi> techbreak: unless you gave the -y option, yupp, keep your console trained :)
[07:40] <ben_> lol
[07:41] <techbreak> nixjr, i clicked "y" more than hundred times.. DasEi i gave the option...
[07:41] <devdrink_>  whats the easiest way to launch a one-time long running program without it dying when my ssh session disconnects
[07:41] <cache_surplus> yuva:  drupal is not a standard package and there is much more to it than simple copy pastes
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: that's fine, install away
[07:41] <cache_surplus> that goes for joomla or any cms
[07:41] <bobthemilkman> devdrink_: screen
[07:41] <devdrink_> thanks
[07:41] <nixjr> Does anyone know howto do a find based on mime type?
[07:41] <devdrink_> will man lookup
[07:41] <niklasfi> ActionParsnip: yes ... also apparently the permissions are rw,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 where ubuntu is uid=1000 ... and ubuntu should be gui=1000
[07:42] <niklasfi> *gid
 cant i do it without terminal.. means just by right clicking the mouse ...
[07:42] <DasEi> yuva: for your purpose: gksudo nautilus, if you're a former win user and want it quick and simple
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> !sound
[07:42] <galagalagala> does anyone have experience with xmonad?
[07:42] <cache_surplus> ActionParsnip: i dont like your advice sorry, im a bit more detailed before i just install things, no offense. but i know better
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: if you think so
[07:42] <bobthemilkman> I'll give you the quick answer. Type screen. Hit enter. You're now in a virtual terminal. Hit ctrl+a then ctrl+d to break out of the virtual terminal and back to a real one.  Type screen -r to reconnect to a previously started terminal. Use the "exit" command from within the virtual terminal to kill it.
[07:43] <nixjr> i know howto do a find, and howto display a mimetype, how can i link those two commands so it onyl finds those of a specific mime type?
[07:43] <cache_surplus> matter of fact, if you know, great, if not, don't say a word. i have data at stake.. even though it will be a demo box
[07:43] <cache_surplus> yah, i think so
[07:43] <bobthemilkman> devdrink_: You can read the docs if you want, and there's lots of interesting things (like running more than one at a time, using names for the terminals, etc.), but what I just told you is enough for you to do what you want.
[07:43] <devdrink_> so just screen command &
[07:43] <greppy> cache_surplus: I have never lost data due to installing a new window manager.
[07:43] <hunting> Can somebody help me with some sound problems?
[07:44] <cache_surplus> greppy: i did
[07:44] <bobthemilkman> You might be able to do it that way. I'm not sure. I invoke it by typing "screen" then enter, then doing the commands from within it.
[07:44] <cache_surplus> greppy: your special, you dont make simple mistakes
[07:44] <DasEi> yuva: if you are so new to ubuntu, I wouldn't recommend drupal.. linux is fine, but one shouldn't take first lessons on driverlicense on a highway maybe, just an idea
[07:44] <DarkStar1> does anyone know anything about the proxyPort connector attribute  of the tomcat http connector? I read the reference and I'd just like to clarify a few things
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: all you have so far discussed is installing more than one DE on the same OS which has been verified as ok. What else do you need
[07:45] <hunting> Can somebody help me with some sound problems?
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: you also think edubuntu is a DE so I'm questioning your knowledge level
[07:45] <cache_surplus> scroll up
[07:46] <DasEi> hunting: I give it a try

[07:47] <yuva> DasEi: for ma project i took it but i dont have time to chage now so..
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> cache_surplus: i would but my irc client only stores about 20 lines, can you fill me in please

[08:14] <nixjr> wauf, #ubuntu-jp
[08:15] <cache_surplus> yuva: there is a directory where themes are stored, and typically you upload themes using a browser/portal. to do it manually is tricky and the best way is to ask in /join #drupal   your really wasting your time here... trust me
[08:15] <ggeorgy> i want a program to increase video volume
[08:15] <tomek_> exit
[08:15] <coz_> ggeorgy,   for your speakers  and or headphones?

[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Yuva: Not sure. I don't play with themes in any way
[08:19] <yuva> ActionParsnip: then how do you do?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Yuva: do what?

[08:59] <c0de_> why aq don't use coreldraw 11 in my ubuntu meverick.,
[08:59] <daniel> i have a quick question i got docky and deleted the buttom tool bar and now i want it back
[08:59] <shcherbak> rUff3r: you havent have apache2?
[08:59] <c0de_> i am try install coreldraw it's success but why don't run
[08:59] <rUff3r> no it wasn't installed before
[09:00] <c0de_> can your help me :)
[09:00] <oCean> c0de_: maybe you need to contact the vendors of coreldraw; ask if ubuntu is a supported platform and why the software does not run
[09:02] <Quatar[it]> hi all. Is there some linux possibility to embed a video into a pdf? I mean, i want to create a pdf presentation which, on several slides, presents a video. I want to use pdf format because my file should be read by many computers
[09:02] <shcherbak> rUff3r: most likely you need to "redo" uptdate process after removing apache.
[09:02] <daniel> would someone know how to get the button tool bar back if i removed it to replace it with docky
[09:02] <rUff3r> i have lighttpd installed, so it kinda fucks my system up if apache runs. After the reboot apache started...
[09:02] <c0de_> hmm... ubuntu does not support coreldraw?
[09:02] <c0de_> ocean, :)
[09:03] <oCean> c0de_: it's commercial package, right? Ask the vendor of that package.
[09:03] <oCean> c0de_: also, v11 seems waaaay old!?
[09:03] <shcherbak> rUff3r: you can disable apache, but more interesting is to find what trrigered installation.
[09:03] <DJones> c0de_: Am I right in thinking coreldraw is windows software? You might be able to get help about installing it under wine in #winehq, there are some hints on how to get it working on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1840&iTestingId=13638
[09:04] <gordonjcp> DJones: there was a Linux version of Corel Draw, quite some time ago
[09:04] <MoL0ToV> hi to all! i have a problem: id i do: ps -ef  the processes for the user with id 1000 are displayed with uid at first colum instead the username. root and also other system users are ok. suggestions?
[09:05] <DJones> gordonjcp: Didn't know that, I only thought it was a windows app, good to know anyway
[09:05] <daniel__> hey i just have a quick question would someone be able to help i got a dock bar called docky so i delted the buttom bar but now i want to get it back but cant
[09:05] <gordonjcp> DJones: well, for suitable values of "good"
[09:05] <DJones> Heh
[09:06] <rUff3r> shcherbak: yeah i think so too. I removed it yesterday but I was freaked out that some1 got onto my pc. But I guess sinde the install happened at the same time the security updates get upgraded regularly. and at the same time php5 got upgraded it has something to do with that
[09:06] <shcherbak> Quatar[it]: Do not think it is way to do it, Ooo can procude M$ compatibile presentation.
[09:06] <c0de_> ok, .i will try again., n i here too use wine.., but after installation corel not can't run., but do you have solution, maybe aplication replacement of corel linux?
[09:07] <qazeqaz> how can i tell what ive recently installed on my ubuntu machine?
[09:07] <Quatar[it]> shcherbak: but with OOo i'm not succeeding in embedding movies
[09:07] <shcherbak> rUff3r: sudo apt-get install -f ?
[09:07] <oCean> !appdb | c0de_
[09:08] <oCean> c0de_: also, If it's a wine issue, you should ask in #winehq
[09:08] <oCean> qazeqaz: you could go through the /var/log/dpkg.log logfiles
[09:08] <graphlite> shcherbak: kubuntu -s normal kpackagekit or whatever it uses
[09:08] <shcherbak> Quatar[it]: didnt know... Which pretty much would sugest flash.
[09:09] <graphlite> shcherbak: i used aptitude and look what updated there were and all were in main tree and fully supported software
[09:09] <rUff3r> shcherbak: hmm? what should I do?
[09:09] <graphlite> 8 security updates and they are all resolved now , thanks for the reply tough
[09:09] <Quatar[it]> shcherbak: then i'l wait the next presentation to learn! I have a meeting tomorrow :) thanks anyway
[09:09] <c0de_> ok thx
[09:10] <oCean> c0de_: also, if you want to use a linux program, maybe you have some time to look into "inkscape"
[09:10] <oCean> !info inkscape | c0de_
[09:11] <shcherbak> rUff3r: clean system of apt-get with install -f and with autoremove, check log from last update.
[09:12] <shcherbak> graphlite: can you sudo apt-get update?
[09:12] <qazeqaz> yea im new to linux this is my 3rd day and i installed stuff but had no idea i had to retype it into termal to get it to run............ n00b mistake!
[09:12] <graphlite> shcherbak: i already used aptitude
[09:14] <shcherbak> graphlite: does update goes with no error? You have not intended distribution upgrade or edited source.list?
[09:15] <shcherbak> qazeqaz: Did you install with Synaptic?

[09:17] <techbreak> llutz, there isn't information for 10.10

[09:22] <GenCustard> hello all, just installed LAMP .. is there an equivalent to IIS for Apache server or the fact I'm not on Ubuntu server limits my server to running just one website?
[09:22] <jink> I'm not sure what you're asking.
[09:23] <shcherbak> rUff3r: and make sure to purge libapache
[09:23] <llutz> GenCustard: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/vhosts/  or better ask at #httpd
[09:23] <GenCustard> llutz: thanks, I'll read that over :)
[09:24] <Jesdisciple> trying to use Emacs (22.2 because I'm on Ubuntu 9.10) and perplexed that all the libraries are .elc
[09:24] <doktoreas> Hello everybody
[09:24] <rUff3r> shcherbak: http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/lucid/php5 i guess it's that. But I do have installed php5-cgi so I don't get it
[09:24] <Jesdisciple> how am I supposed to hack on it?
[09:25] <doktoreas> I installed ATI proprietary driver on a fresh new Ubuntu 10.10, but I can't access the ATI control center. The error is amdxdg-su: no graphical method available for invoking 'amdcccle' as 'root'
[09:26] <Jesdisciple> no Emacs gurus? =(
[09:26] <Jesdisciple> (improper question for #emacs because apparently other emacs have .el libs)
[09:27] <incandenza_> Jesdisciple: those are the compiled files, the .el files are in a package like emacs22-el
[09:27] <Jesdisciple> and where would I find the sources?
[09:27] <AnthLee> doktoreas, find out the command that launches the ati control center by created a button on the panel and then add sudo before it and then alt + f2 and run the command with sudo appended before it
[09:27] <AnthLee> creating*
[09:27] <incandenza_> Jesdisciple: apt-get install emacs22-el
[09:28] <Jesdisciple> oh, my bad
[09:28] <doktoreas> hi AnthLee, I did this and the error is amdxdg-su: no graphical method available for invoking 'amdcccle' as 'root'
[09:28] <Jesdisciple> I thought you meant it was already installed
[09:28] <AnthLee> doktoreas, try sudo su and then try running the command
[09:28] <Jesdisciple> incandenza_: then if I install that, the .el will be compiled to .elc when I start Emacs?
[09:29] <shcherbak> AnthLee: we do not do it here, scrap it!
[09:29] <shcherbak> doktoreas: What advice is low quality.
[09:30] <oCean> !gksudo | doktoreas
[09:30] <ubn2> how to set a default config of my Nvidia
[09:31] <lg_> can you speak chinese?
[09:31] <jink> The alternative is to never use graphical applications as root. :)
[09:31] <DJones> !cn | lg_
[09:31] <shcherbak> !cn
[09:31] <oCean> !cn | lg_
[09:31] <doktoreas> it seems related to sudo..without sudo it works fine amdxdg-su -c amdcccle
[09:31] <rUff3r> join #ubuntu-de
[09:31] <oCean> doktoreas: use gksudo
[09:31] <Matt-_-> hi, i'm on the ubuntu live cd and i'm going to install it. can anyone help me with the partitioning?
[09:31] <doktoreas> i think that the tool as a specific command to set sudo enviroment
[09:31] <shcherbak> ubn2: you mean nvidia-settings ?
[09:32] <incandenza_> Jesdisciple: no, because the compiled versions are already installed.  if you want to recompile one you can use M-x byte-compile-file
[09:33] <doktoreas> can it be that all the applications in the preferences menu are executed as super user?
[09:33] <incandenza_> Jesdisciple: but really you should try to put modifications in your own files rather than editing the system files
[09:34] <HelpMeSamba> hello everyone, I just upgraded my karmic koala into lucid and my samba server doesn't work anymore. I've tried installing the 3 packages sudo aptitude install apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-dnssd and enabled personal file sharing but my windoze machine still can't connect to the shares. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this please?
[09:34] <doktoreas> because the command line of ATI control center is just amdxdg-su -c amdcccle
[09:34] <doktoreas> which works in terminal
[09:34] <shcherbak> doktoreas: to see command you can drag item from menu to desktop, and right-click on launcher
[09:35] <Matt-_-> i'm on the parted, and it says i have 4 partitions (system, recovery, c and hp_tools). is it okay if i get space for ubuntu from c?
[09:35] <Jesdisciple> package emacs22-el in karmic has security issues apparently, anything I need to do to let apt get it from karmic-updates?
[09:35] <Jesdisciple> apt isn't something I've studied much
[09:36] <incandenza_> don't know, I only use lucid or maverick these days
[09:36] <Jesdisciple> should be similar solution for any *-updates I should think
[09:37] <shcherbak> Jesdisciple: sudo apt-get install emacs22-el
[09:37] <staar2> well i can't find my self coding challenge, any help ?
[09:37] <Jesdisciple> scherbak: I know what to do given I have the correct sources
[09:37] <Jesdisciple> I'm just making sure I do

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this please?
[09:38] <shcherbak> Jesdisciple: Jump to lucid would be ok, too.
[09:38] <Jesdisciple> nope, not for me, yet
[09:39] <shcherbak> maybe you right...
[09:39] <Jesdisciple> updating is a treacherous process for me, have lost everything every time by my own clumsiness
[09:40] <HelpMeSamba> can anyone help me to samba please...........
[09:40] <Jesdisciple> anyhow, anyone know about <distro> versus <distro>-updates in apt?
[09:40] <Jesdisciple> sorry, <version>

[09:48] <shanet> Hello all, I have recently switched to ubuntu as my main OS, from a great windows experience, mainly because I know how to fix the problems. However now, I switch to ubuntu, I am feeling the power of the new OS however I am faced with a simple problem: I downloaded one of my favourite games (Frets on Fire) and want to add songs to it. It is installed at /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/
[09:48] <shanet> I wish to add songs to the subdir /data/songs, but I can not change the permissions to allow writing to the file as I am not the owner of the file. How would I go about taking ownership of this file?
[09:48] <llutz> HupPuppy: what language?
[09:49] <greppy> shanet: you should be able to copy the files to that directory using sudo
[09:49] <user82> does ubuntu netbook edition detect ubuntu desktop edition and update grub proplerly?
[09:49] <upsla> does ubudsl run in ubutu 10.10??
[09:49] <HupPuppy> llutz, the address should be in memory
[09:50] <shanet> I am new to ubuntu, so can you please explain how I would do that?
[09:50] <shanet> I will open terminal now.
[09:50] <HupPuppy> i just want to load it
[09:50] <greppy> shanet: sudo cp NAME_OF_YOUR_FILE /data/songs

[09:51] <HelpMeSamba> The smbclient -L output is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/556099/ can anyone help me with checking what is wrong with my samba setup?
[09:51] <Jesdisciple> dangling Emacs question, above - can repeat if necessary
[09:51] <shanet> Greppy: Would it not be sudo cp home/shane/desktop/frets usr/share/games/fretsonfire/data/songs/   ?
[09:51] <upsla> does anybody know about ubudsl support in ubuntu 10.10. suggetions are invited :-)
[09:53] <HupPuppy> does it help if i say i want to load an address effectively
[09:53] <greppy> shanet: probably /usr/share and /home/shane
[09:53] <jana_> hello. is there a way to automagically improve disk performance? I get a lot of IO wait
[09:54] <HupPuppy> jana_ you could try loading an effective address
[09:54] <HupPuppy> but first i just need to find out how
[09:55] <jana_> HupPuppy, what do you mean?
[09:55] <llutz> HupPuppy: use a disassembler
[09:55] <upsla> does anybody know about ubudsl support in ubuntu 10.10. suggetions are invited :)
[09:55] <HupPuppy> i just want to load an effective address on my own

[09:58] <llutz> trupheenix: 32bit kernel can only address 3.x GB, with PAE you could use your 8GB but limited to 4GB chunks
[09:58] <HelpMeSamba> Hello, I need help with my samba server. After updating from karmic to lucid my samba server just doesn't serve properly to the rest of my network. I can see the shares but I'm unable to connect. can anyone help me with this? It used to serve without problems until i to lucid.
[09:58] <HupPuppy> greppy, it is and now own up to it or explain how it isn't ubuntu

[10:00] <shanet> Trolling is disrespectful

[10:10] <NotTooDumb3> i am debugging windows once, after that i will boot cd
[10:10] <mtt> but i don't know how to use gparted
[10:10] <sidd_mak> mtt: u don;t need to
[10:10] <mtt> some people told me so
[10:10] <sidd_mak> mtt: do u have any empty partition
[10:10] <oCean> !u | sidd_mak
[10:11] <Jesdisciple> late, but: thanks all
[10:11] <shanet> Greppy: Now its ommitting all the directories inside the frets file
[10:11] <mtt> i don't have empty partitions. i have 4 partitions and 1 of them (the c:\ of windows 7) has 250 gb free
[10:11] <tehbaut> I'm having trouble installing the ffmpeg plugin, but I can't figure out why, nor how to fix it... anyone care to help? Here's the output of the failed installation details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556105/
[10:11] <HupPuppy> ubottu, u r a lu zur
[10:11] <shcherbak> HupPuppy: hmm

[10:12] <greppy> !pastebin | Shanet post the output of ls -l /home/shane/Desktop/Frets
[10:12] <almoxarife> I am hoping you all can pass this link along to those mis fortunate souls who have a WUBI install of ubuntu and at some point after a kernel upgrade (happens mostly then) find themselves at the grub2 prompt, the 100% sure fire fix is done on the windows side, the link explains it better than I, and I am sorry to say I have yet to see this fix brought out in a Ubuntu.com site, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/ind
[10:12] <HupPuppy> ubottu i will admit you are pretty attractive for a bot
[10:13] <Tm_T> HupPuppy: leave bot alone
[10:13] <sidd_mak> mtt: see u need at least 10 GB for ubuntu
[10:13] <mtt> yes, i want to free 65 gb for ubuntu (60 for / and 4 for swap)

[10:14] <meway> Hello my computer has issues with ubuntu if its been on for a long period of time. I can't open firefox it crashes and when I open the terminal its blank. Only the programs that are already in progress appear to be working. Like this one.
[10:14] <almoxarife> tehbaut: how did you install it?
[10:14] <tehbaut> almoxarife, ubuntu software center
[10:15] <greppy> shanet: ah, do the same with /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/data/songs/
[10:15] <sidd_mak> mtt: which ver. do u have
[10:15] <shanet> Greppy: ok
[10:15] <almoxarife> tehbaut: what failed?
[10:15] <mtt> i want to install ubuntu 10.10
[10:15] <Jesdisciple> meway: non-guru here, but is anything hogging resources, or opening lots of processes?
[10:15] <meway> I also am not sure about the drivers system using ubuntu .....
[10:15] <krish> hey guys, anyone know how to set default configurations in cubuntu
[10:15] <krish> ubuntu for Xvnc4
[10:16] <meway> Jesdisciple, Doubt it.

[10:16] <tehbaut> almoxarife: not sure... here's the link to the details again: Here's the output of the failed installation details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556105/
[10:16] <meway> Jesdisciple, I think it over heats and than decides it can't handle even the smallest tasks
[10:16] <greppy> shanet: sudo cp /home/shane/Desktop/Frets
[10:16] <greppy> bah
[10:17] <tehbaut> almoxarife: as I had mentioned before, I don't know exactly what the issue is, let alone how to fix it
[10:17] <greppy> shanet: sudo cp -r /home/shane/Desktop/Frets/* /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/data/songs/
[10:17] <meway> brb A reboot normally fixes it
[10:17] <meway> I rather not make this a permanent fix obviously
[10:18] <chico_m> anada
[10:18] <tehbaut> almoxarife: there are some errors encountered while processing linux-image-* ...but that hasn't prevented me from installing other things
[10:18] <shanet> Greppy: Looks promising
[10:18] <upsla> does anybody know about ubudsl support in ubuntu 10.10. suggetions are invited :-)
[10:18] <tehbaut> almoxarife: although I'd be happy to figure out how to fix those issues as well
[10:18] <shanet> Greppy: Thankyou, it worked :D
[10:18] <shanet> =
[10:18] <oCean> upsla: I showed you the ppa's, have you tried?
[10:18] <MisterMeh> Hello, I have an externel CD/DVD RW drive and it used to work with Ubuntu on my netbook but not any more. However, it still works on Windows on my netbook, but not on Ubuntu. The drive also works on my Desktop on Ubuntu! Any ideas?
[10:20] <hivez`> MisterMeh: that is lamest question ive heard today. well done.
[10:20] <almoxarife> tehbaut: looking at that install log I am surprised you have a kernel installed
[10:20] <MisterMeh> hivez`: I am not lying.
[10:20] <Scott`> ubuntu is clearly the fault
[10:20] <tehbaut> almoxarife: it's a USB disk install... I believe I used some windows utility to make it
[10:21] <almoxarife> tehbaut: is the system up right now?
[10:22] <marathon> hello
[10:22] <tehbaut> almoxarife: yep, it's been running fine
[10:22] <techbreak> #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server : anybody help ?
[10:22] <shanet> Greppy: Just another question, how would I delete files in that folder that were already there before the copy?
[10:23] <almoxarife> tehbaut: do you have 'synaptic'?
[10:23] <greppy> in the /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/data/songs?
[10:23] <shanet> yes
[10:24] <greppy> shanet: sudo rm -r /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/data/songs/*
[10:27] <shanet> Thanks Greppy. That is all.

[10:33] <mtt> i had to download flash plugin, now i'm following the instructions
[10:34] <earwigs> <3 ubuntu
[10:35] <Calinou> earwigs: this goes to offtopic.
[10:35] <mtt> so, i shouldn't create space for ubuntu using gparted, but i should do it straight from install, right?
[10:36] <HelpMeSamba> yay i fixed it myself
[10:36] <HelpMeSamba> sorry for the earlier spams
[10:36] <HelpMeSamba> ciaos!
[10:36] <caustic> hello, I have a quick question
[10:36] <gordonjcp> !ask > caustic
[10:37] <caustic> I disabled my ctl-alt-f2-f6 terminals and forgot how I did it
[10:37] <sidd_mak> mtt : ya
[10:38] <caustic> i *think* the proper file is somewhere in /etc/init or init.d but I can't be sure
[10:38] <caustic> anyone know of the top of their head?
[10:38] <greppy> caustic: /etc/inittab
[10:38] <mtt> by the way, i have to make room for ubuntu on c:\, right?
[10:38] <Squarism> does anyone know if multi monitor support, for laptops with freq single/dual switching, got better in 10.10
[10:39] <caustic> ah yes, I should hav mentioned...was just about to.../etc/inittab doesn't exist
[10:39] <ksinkar> how do i install all my development tools on ubuntu in one go?
[10:39] <caustic> i'm running meerkat
[10:39] <caustic> 10.10 is it?
[10:39] <greppy> caustic: forgot that changed
[10:39] <ksinkar> is there any command such as apt-get install 'Development tools'??
[10:39] <rooks> ksinkar, just do apt-get install all of your soft names
[10:40] <DASPRiD> ksinkar, apt-get install build-essential ?
[10:40] <zlatan> hi..how to change in wich language we write cos I made the change for text in language support and there is no effect...And how to see all what is using RAM resources :)
[10:40] <RaidSoft> Do the VNC server that come with ubuntu have support for using it through java in a web browser?
[10:40] <sidd_mak> mtt: it can be any partition
[10:40] <sidd_mak> mtt: how many partition do u have
[10:41] <mtt> as i said before, i have 4 partitions (c:\, system, hp_tools and recovery)
[10:41] <rooks> RaidSoft, server just serves, the client that connects can be whatever, including that java on browser one you mentioned
[10:41] <mtt> system is the boot section
[10:42] <edwardteach> Squarism, shame there is not a script you could run to automate the change events!
[10:42] <zlatan> hi..how to change in wich language we write cos I made the change for text in language support and there is no effect...And how to see all what is using RAM resources :)
[10:42] <RaidSoft> rooks: http://www.realvnc.com/support/javavncviewer.html <- that's what I'm talking about getting to work
[10:43] <rooks> RaidSoft, i think it should work, its a viewer as anyother
[10:43] <Squarism> edwardteach, what what? =D Is that a hint that i should fix it myself? =D
[10:44] <ne2k> zlatan: what are you actually trying to do?
[10:44] <RaidSoft> right then I've missunderstood how it works.. I thought that you basically went to the server's webserver and it loaded remote desktop on it through java.. but you still need to download a client in this case :/
[10:44] <ne2k> zlatan: change your keymap?
[10:44] <sidd_mak> mtt: seee in linux setup u will able to see those part. by the label sda1,sda2,sda3,sda4 etc
[10:44] <mtt> yes
[10:45] <caustic> does anyone know where the settings that were in /etc/inittab moved to for the newer distros?
[10:45] <sidd_mak> mtt: most probably c will be sda1
[10:45] <ne2k> !upstart > caustic
[10:45] <zlatan> ne2k:I am traying to use cyrilic on my system but still american latin
[10:46] <sidd_mak> mtt : is there any important data in C:
[10:46] <RaidSoft> Basically I am trying to find a way to remote in to a linux computer without installing anything on a windows computer.. (it has the default remote desktop installed already as well as java) but seems impossible
[10:46] <mtt> i have all my docs and programs, but i've made a backup of the most important ones
[10:47] <ne2k> zlatan: system->preferences->keyboard->layouts->add
[10:47] <edwardteach> Squarism, no sorry ! just that  i have the same problem lol.. but its a thought!  i dont think that propitiatory drivers work well with command line but i could be wrong sorry
[10:47] <sidd_mak> mtt : there must be try ubuntu option when u booted the disc
[10:47] <mtt> that's what i did. in fact, now i'm on try mode
[10:48] <sidd_mak> mtt : ok so go to place at the top
[10:48] <ne2k> zlatan: add Russian, then you will see keymap switcher in the top bar
[10:48] <sidd_mak> mtt : n you will see your partition
[10:49] <mtt> ok, i already saw them on gparted
[10:49] <sidd_mak> mtt : copy the data on the partition on which u r not installing ubuntu
[10:49] <mtt> c:\ is sda2
[10:49] <techbreak> #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server :help :(
[10:50] <sidd_mak> mtt : explore it from file explorer
[10:50] <ne2k> zlatan: дзн ю кан раит по русский
[10:50] <mtt> sidd_mak i'm not sure i can do this. the other partitions are system ones
[10:51] <sidd_mak> mtt: go to Places in the menu at the top ,where u will file your all disk partitions
[10:52] <Jemt> Hello. I'm working on a remastered version of Ubuntu. I want to ensure all updates, so I do 'apt-get upgrade' after chroot'ing into the Live CD. This results in a lot of errors like this: "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of XYZ". Followed by the reason, which is usually "Package ABC is not configured yet" or "XYZ depends on ABC". Is this a problem ?
[10:53] <mtt> sidd_mak ok
[10:53] <schueler> n4ps
[10:53] <sidd_mak> mtt: transfer the data that is imp.

[10:55] <Holek> I don't want the cube, I want simple sliding through the desktops
[10:55] <Holek> where can I enable it?
[10:55] <sidd_mak> mtt : no man to any other partition of your drive
[10:55] <FloodBot1> Holek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:56] <Holek> FloodBot1: shoosh
[10:56] <sidd_mak> mtt : or transfer it to flash drive
[10:56] <zlatan> another one..I tried to drop my system cache and it said permission denied and I was superuser. Why is that?
[10:56] <mtt> can't i just leave it there? i'm not supposed to touch those partitions...
[10:57] <mtt> all i want is to make room for ubuntu on c:\ to dual boot it with win7
[10:57] <sidd_mak> there can't be more then one OS on same partition
[10:58] <mtt> i understand, but it's my fault that i can't explain what i have in my mind.
[10:59] <sidd_mak> mtt : ok now i got u
[10:59] <devdrink_> wondering weather to download 10.04 or 10.10 for a new pc. is the bug whereby you adjust mouse speed in gnome, and then the pc sleeps, on resume its back to default fixed?
[11:00] <sidd_mak> mtt : u r saying that u want to install windows 7 n ubuntu on the space that u have given to C: drive
[11:00] <sidd_mak> mtt : right
[11:00] <zlatan> zlatan@zlatan-MS-7529:~$ sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[11:00] <zlatan> bash: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: Permission denied...Why id that
[11:00] <zlatan> is*
[11:01] <mtt> my situation is: i have win7 on my notebook and i want to get some room for ubuntu 10.10. i'd like to use about 65 gb of my c:\ partition to make room for ubuntu (swap + \ partitions)
[11:01] <sidd_mak> mtt : ok
[11:01] <sidd_mak> mtt : wait a min let me install gparted n guide u
[11:01] <mtt> ok thank you very much :-)
[11:02] <FxIII> I have pidgin installed and then the skype repository, but skype does not appear from the account type list. anyting wrong?
[11:02] <Jemt> mtt: Remember to back up your data. Personally I wouldn't trust gparted to mess with my NTFS partitions
[11:03] <mtt> jemt i've saved my most important docs
[11:03] <user82> in the shortcut optiones how can i tell it to start a terminal with the command? if i do "samsung-tools -c status" it does not show stdout anywhere
[11:03] <mtt> and i've burned my win7 recovery dvds
[11:03] <mtt> just in case
[11:03] <Jemt> Good :)
[11:03] <mtt> however, everyone says that gparted is safe
[11:04] <sidd_mak> mtt : ya
[11:04] <sidd_mak> mtt : but before installing linux u need to install win 7
[11:04] <mtt> my notebook has already win7
[11:04] <edwardteach> devdrink_, sound like the sort of bug that is specific to hardware you should research all hardware components first if starting from a new system, the bug described sounds minor and was probably fix quickly !
[11:05] <user82> anyone?
[11:05] <mtt> that's the reason why i have so many partitions (blame hp)
[11:05] <sidd_mak> mtt : ya but once u create space for ubuntu on C: it will be wiped out
[11:06] <taha> I have a problem wiht hibernate (and not suspend) with my laptop,vostro laptop with (properly installed) nvidia 9300M GS graphic card. Suspend successfully works. Also it seems computer successfully goes into hibernate (data is writed to disk, and computer shutted down). but after boot up a clean login page appears (sessions lost). I enabled bootlogd but only few lines logged into /var/log/boot.log.
[11:06] <mtt> that's not what other guides say... i'm unsure
[11:07] <sidd_mak> mtt : it's quite obvious
[11:08] <nacho2k> hi guys, anybody was able to install passwordsafe in 64bit ?

[11:10] <sidd_mak> mtt : is win7 in working condition
[11:10] <edwardteach> mtt,  to create a partition on any drive you have to shrink the other portion of drive e.g. make less free space on C
[11:10] <sidd_mak> mtt : how much empty is your c:
[11:10] <mtt> edward it's what i meant
[11:10] <mtt> maybe i can't explain myself :/
[11:10] <ISKRA> i !google ubuntu multitouch drivers , but there is no any good results -.-"
[11:11] <mtt> my win7 is in working condition and with about 250 gb free out of 450

[11:18] <inSanity_> hi ppl
[11:18] <trupheenix> hi. my ubuntu installation hung up. what is the best way to rescue my system?
[11:18] <user82> does anyone know which file to change to get grub boot order right? /boot/grub/grub.cfg did not owrk?
[11:18] <inSanity_> trupheenix, try the recover option on the cd
[11:19] <trupheenix> inSanity_, ok the recover option asks me to choose a root file system. then it only gives me an option to execute a shell on the root file system. what do i do?
[11:19] <inSanity_> trupheenix, what exactly doesnt work anymore?
[11:19] <Jemt> trupheenix: Has it happened just once, or all the time ?
[11:19] <trupheenix> Jemt, all the time. i'm using the alternate installer.
[11:20] <Jemt> When does it happen? During boot ?
[11:20] <trupheenix> Jemt, after i choose the rescue system option
[11:20] <Jemt> trupheenix: When does it freeze when you boot your installation ?
[11:20] <Jemt> Not the CD
[11:21] <trupheenix> Jemt, it freezes after my system boots up and i am in the login screen.
[11:21] <inSanity_> trupheenix, what happens if you try the recovery mode? (aka single user mode)
[11:21] <zlatan> how to clean cache on ubuntu 10.10??...and how to see what is using my RAM memory so much
[11:21] <jpds> !memory | zlatan
[11:21] <inSanity_> zlatan, what kind o cache?
[11:22] <trupheenix> inSanity_, rescue or recovery mode?
[11:22] <trupheenix> inSanity_, i just put back the installation cd and chose rescue mode
[11:22] <inSanity_> well the option which you see in grub
[11:22] <fazzil> hi all
[11:22] <trupheenix> inSanity_, i don't see grub on my system. it just boots into ubuntu
[11:22] <inSanity_> please reboot the system and hold the shift key
[11:23] <inSanity_> it will display a boot menu
[11:23] <inSanity_> then you will have multiple options to boot from
[11:23] <inSanity_> choose the second one
[11:24] <trupheenix> inSanity_, ok
[11:25] <zlatan> inSanity: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches...this caches
[11:25] <trupheenix> inSanity_, ok i chose recovery mode
[11:25] <trupheenix> inSanity_, i think this is a noveau crash
[11:26] <inSanity_> zlatan, http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_vm_drop_caches.html
[11:26] <zlatan> ubottu:I look at system monitor and there is now using 800MB of my RAM memory and I don't see what is using so much
[11:26] <trupheenix> inSanity_, so how do u go ahead?
[11:26] <tabasko> where cron logs are going by default?
[11:27] <tabasko> there is no /var/log/cron.log or so
[11:27] <inSanity_> trupheenix, what did you installed before the system crashed?
[11:28] <zlatan> inSanity..thanks that helped but didn't delete all cache
[11:28] <zlatan> inSanity..do you know anything about what is using RAM
[11:28] <inSanity_> ubottu, free ram
[11:29] <inSanity_> bad ubottu
[11:29] <inSanity_> :p
[11:29] <inSanity_> zlatan, what do you need to know?
[11:30] <unluckier> hello! how do i figure out what caused a kernel crash on 10.10? like, what logs should have something? tried messages and kern.log, both have nothing..
[11:31] <zlatan> inSanity_:I went to look as system monitor and now Ubuntu is using 800mb of RAM...I dont know how nor do I see it...I don't have compiz,dock and that things
[11:32] <ksinkar> how do we use the scanner on ubuntu?
[11:34] <edwardteach> zlatan, you know that ubuntu man ages the cache very well you should not need to flush it .
[11:35] <edwardteach> zlatan, also if you use firefox it will use alot of cache !
[11:35] <inSanity_> ed1703, I agree
[11:35] <inSanity_> sorry, I agree on edwardteach
[11:35] <inSanity_> :p
[11:35] <zlatan> edwardteach:okay...what with this memory usage....firefix is now on system monitor using 300mb and evert applications is 10 times bigger
[11:36] <inSanity_> zlatan, you should use atop instead of top
[11:36] <inSanity_> it gives you a better insight
[11:36] <cqixk_work> After an do-release-upgrade I get an error regarding ureadahead requires upstart but upstart is not configured. with "telinit: relocation error: telinit: symbol __abort_msg, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference"

[11:38] <knoppies> I want to install GRUB onto a USB Flash drive to boot a linux partition that I have on my HDD (long story short, I want to keep my HDD MBR for winXP, so if I unplug the USB, it boots winXP)
[11:38] <sidd_mak> mtt hi
[11:38] <cqixk_work> I'm currently setting up a replacement system. but is that the only way?
[11:39] <Scott`> knoppies: you can boot winxp with grub
[11:39] <mtt> we were working on gparted, right?
[11:39] <sidd_mak> mtt : ya
[11:39] <Scott`> GRUB boots 10.10 and windows 7 for me
[11:39] <sidd_mak> mtt : open gparted
[11:40] <mtt> my c:\ (sda2): size 452 gb and 264 gb unused
[11:40] <knoppies> Scott`, I know, but on this particular system, when I installed ubuntu with GRUB it failed to see the winXP, it might have something to do with the fact that the winXP is actually a clone image from another HDD that I just moved across.
[11:40] <sidd_mak> mtt : select sda2
[11:40] <sidd_mak> mtt : press resize
[11:40] <paroh> u lost the bootloader while reinstalling windows
[11:40] <mtt> ok
[11:40] <paroh> how can i reinstall the bootloader of ubuntu
[11:40] <paroh> ?
[11:41] <shcherbak> ubottu: tell paroh about brub
[11:41] <shcherbak> ubottu: tell paroh about grub
[11:41] <paroh> ok
[11:42] <Scott`> ubottu: tell Scott` about grub
[11:42] <Scott`> ok
[11:42] <kusanagi> my computer response is super slow and i dont know why. My to cpus are at 5% usage memory is about 50% usage (2Gb). Has anybody any idea what can it be?
[11:42] <knoppies> kusanagi, are you running Gnome?
[11:42] <paroh> can u take remote of my system and install grub
[11:43] <paroh> ?
[11:43] <kusanagi> yup knoppies. And movies and games run smooth, but desktop response is very slow :S
[11:43] <Scott`> doesnt it take like 3 commands to fix grub
[11:43] <inSanity_> paroh, thats a pretty unsecure option you're giving therer
[11:43] <knoppies> paroh, probably not. actually, you probably could get someone to SSH into a liveCD, but it would be easier to find a tutorial on google that will help you install GRUB
[11:44] <edwardteach> kusanagi, is your mouse jerky?
[11:44] <paroh> why
[11:44] <knoppies> kusanagi, install the CPU monitor on the gnome-panel.
[11:45] <kusanagi> edwardteach, no... It sometimes becomes jerky, but i just replug it and it goes back to normal (same thing happen to keyboard btw)
[11:45] <paroh> as there is any windows base utility that can install the brub bootloader?
[11:45] <shcherbak> kusanagi: metacity --replace , does it help? Check what drivers you can instal.
[11:45] <paroh> grub*
[11:45] <Guest47116> how to download video from youtube
[11:45] <kusanagi> knoppies, done, now what
[11:46] <Scott`> paroh scroll down on the url it gave you
[11:46] <Scott`> Recovery using Microsoft Windows and Its Bootloader
[11:46] <paroh> u can use firefox with extension downloadhelper
[11:46] <shcherbak> Guest47116: Use Opera, and get pligin youtube-download or something
[11:46] <shcherbak> *plugin*
[11:46] <kusanagi> shcherbak, done, still slow
[11:47] <greppy> Guest47116: or install youtube-dl to pull videos down from youtube
[11:47] <paroh> scott can i pm u?
[11:47] <knoppies> kusanagi, if you open its preferences, and take note of the IOWait color, is the monitor flooded with this color?
[11:47] <shcherbak> kusanagi: in menu go to Hardware Drivers and see if there is properiary. What card do you have?
[11:48] <sabri_icone> hello
[11:48] <kusanagi> shcherbak, ive got the nvide propietary driver installed. Games runs smooth :) and so do videos
[11:49] <shcherbak> greppy: not sure that youtube-dl still works
[11:49] <sabri_icone> i'am seeking for a linux online solutino
[11:49] <sabri_icone> solutin
[11:49] <shanet555> Hey everyone
[11:49] <sabri_icone> solution
[11:49] <BajK_> Where do I find out what wifi adapter is in my system? lspci?
[11:49] <BajK_> ah got it
[11:49] <BajK_> Any ideas why my WiFi on my notebook frequently drops after five minutes? Using "Atheros Communiactions Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter"
[11:49] <greppy> schatan: if the package version doesn't, hit google and pull the latest version from there, it's a single script.
[11:49] <devdrinker> power saving
[11:50] <shanet555> Having a problem with a game of mine and need to take ownership of some files. Is it possible?
[11:50] <devdrinker> BajK_, see if you can disable power management for the device
[11:50] <BajK_> It is only fairly stable if the notebook is lying right next to the router but even in my sleeping room two doors away I have frequent drops, wifi strength is okay but it just drops
[11:50] <sidd_mak> shanet555 : ya
[11:50] <BajK_> devdrinker: hm, that sounds logical :D
[11:50] <BajK_> hm, how?
[11:50] <sidd_mak> shanet555 : chmod
[11:50] <sabri_icone> there's an online solution for linux?
[11:50] <shanet555> sidd_mak: How does chmod work?
[11:50] <kusanagi> knoppies, i change the IOWait color to yellow so i can see it clearly, and no
[11:50] <BajK_> networkmanager doesnt recognize it drops, there is just that I see ICQ disconnects and I cannot ping the router anymore while the wifi status icon still says connected
[11:51] <devdrinker> BajK_ cant help you on that, but that exact chipsets behaves like that on windows
[11:51] <kusanagi> only a few points yellow here and there, but definetly not flood
[11:51] <BajK_> okay I'll try google, thx devdrinker
[11:51] <sidd_mak> shanet555 : u can chage the file permission
[11:51] <sidd_mak> shanet555 : chmod 777 <filename>
[11:51] <shcherbak> kusanagi: So you need to look for gnome component which hogging your system, iotop, system monitor (menu), htop (atop). You could make user (with default GUI to compare performance), check also logs (log viewer in menu).
[11:51] <knoppies> kusanagi, is your system slow to respond (in terms of, you click and wait for the menu to pop-up)?
[11:51] <shanet555> sidd_mak:Thanks
[11:51] <greppy> shanet555: don't do that.
[11:52] <greppy> shanet555: if you need to take ownership of the files, use chown shanet555 FILENAME
[11:52] <shanet555> greppy: Hi again
[11:52] <shanet555> greppy: Thanks.
[11:52] <sabri_icone> good morning ! can someone help me
[11:52] <boxxy> !ask | sabri_icone
[11:52] <greppy> shanet555: chmod 777 makes the files readable/writable/deletable by anyone.
[11:52] <sabri_icone> am connected from my work pc
[11:52] <sabri_icone> and i can't install linux on it
[11:53] <sabri_icone> so am seeking for an online linux solution
[11:53] <boxxy> sabri_icone, im happy to help but can you please type out exactly your problem and on one line
[11:53] <kusanagi> knoppies, not menus, but for example, firefox is super slow (even when cpu usage in a dual 3Ghz is about 4 % usage in each) and tilda for example takes like 5 seconds to appear and dissapear when the shorcut is pressed
[11:53] <cqixk_work> What does that anyway mean "telinit: relocation error: telinit: symbol __abort_msg, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference"
[11:53] <sabri_icone> cygwin dont work .. i can't retrieve the package of installation
[11:54] <shanet555> greppy: So I should use the command chown shane 555 (directory)
[11:54] <shcherbak> shanet555: or: chmod a=xrw <file>
[11:54] <kusanagi> when i click one tab it takes 5-10 secs to change tab and stuff like that
[11:54] <sabri_icone> linux online solution .. somthing like an online shell
[11:54] <boxxy> sabri_icone, if english isnt your first language we do have chats in other languages
[11:54] <greppy> shanet555: if you need all the files in the directory, use chown -r shane DIRECTORY
[11:55] <sidd_mak> shcherbak : he want to change ownership
[11:55] <sabri_icone> yeah my first language is arab , and i can speak frensh also
[11:55] <shcherbak> shanet555: man chown
[11:55] <shcherbak> sidd_mak: thanks
[11:55] <shanet555> greppy:It says -r is an invalid option
[11:55] <knoppies> kusanagi, Im not sure whats doing that.
[11:55] <shanet555> shcherbak: I shall do that later, thankyou.
[11:55] <greppy> shanet555: doh, sorry, -R instead, I always forget about that.
[11:56] <sveinse> What system/package provides the automount of devices into /media ?
[11:56] <shcherbak> shanet555: chown and chmod take capital r
[11:56] <Fale> hi
[11:56] <shanet555> greppy: Thanks, I did that but it said operation not permitted
[11:56] <Fale> is there a PR channel for ubuntu?
[11:56] <shanet555> greppy:do you want me to pastebin it for you?
[11:56] <boxxy> Fale, PR?
[11:56] <greppy> shanet555: try it with sudo at the beginning of the command :)
[11:57] <sidd_mak> shanet555 : sudo
[11:57] <shcherbak> shanet555: DO NOT chmod chown outside of /home !
[11:57] <Fale> boxxy: Public Relations
[11:57] <shcherbak> shanet555: especialy with -R
[11:57] <edwardteach> kusanagi, is this behaviour new or from fresh install ?
[11:57] <shanet555> greppy: I think I get the idea of sudo now :)
[11:58] <shanet555> shcherbak: I am using -R thankyou :)
[11:58] <boxxy> Fale, what exactly is the problem
[11:58] <sabri_icone> there's no online emulator for linux or UNIX systeme?
[11:58] <shcherbak> shanet555: What folder you chown?
[11:58] <boxxy> no
[11:58] <shanet555> shcherbak: why not?
[11:58] <shcherbak> shanet555: What folder you chown?
[11:58] <kusanagi> shcherbak, oitop marks 0 k/s almost all the time and with atop im not sure what im looking at but heres a screenshot http://i.imgur.com/md2xc.png
[11:58] <shanet555> shcherbak: /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/data/songs
[11:58] <Guest47116> download video form you tube
[11:58] <Fale> boxxy: I'm planning a big event in italy and I'm looking for a speaker man from ubuntu/canonical to speak about ubuntu ;)
[11:59] <shanet555> shcherbak: Its the directory to game data
[11:59] <shcherbak> shanet555: ah, thats ok.
[11:59] <shanet555> shcherbak: Thanks
[11:59] <boxxy> sabri_icone, have a look at "wubi"
[11:59] <boxxy> !wubi | sabri_icone
[11:59] <boxxy> Fale, brb
[11:59] <Guest47116> hello anyone please tell me how to download video from you tube
[11:59] <shanet555> Greppy: Thankyou, it works now
[12:00] <shanet555> shcherbak: Thankyou as well, all good now.

 firefox??
[12:00] <zlatan> hi there...again me...something is using 20GB+ memory that I would expect...is it possibly while using synaptic he downloads all packages and puts them there...I have now 2200 packages installed...and basic came 1500...that means other 700 used abut +20GB and that is almost impossible...Any clue??
 install addon
[12:00] <kusanagi> edwardteach, i had ubuntu in this computer for 3 years without this behaviour, i fresh installed 3 months ago or so (lucid) and i started feeling this like a month ago or so... i had nothing weird installed (that i know of)
[12:00] <greppy> Guest47116: ?
[12:00] <sabri_icone> i know it
[12:00] <boxxy> Guest47116, thats not supported here
[12:00] <sabri_icone> that's not what i want .. its not my own pc
 install download helper
[12:01] <boxxy> Fale, Not exactly what you asked for but > http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-it
[12:01] <ubutom> sabri_icone, http://www.nomachine.com/ -> it's something similar to vnc and you can play a little bit with a testserver, but I guess to have full access to a linux-system online you would have to rent a server or setup a pc and connect to that with vnc or other means if you can't install anything in your workplace
[12:01] <Guest47116> how to install rmp file on backtrack?
[12:01] <bazhang> !backtrack | Guest47116
[12:01] <shanet555> greppy: Also, while I am here, are there any resources you would suggest to get to learn bash better?
[12:01] <greppy> !abs
[12:01] <sidd_mak> shanet555: youtube
[12:02] <shcherbak> !alien > Guest47116
[12:02] <Fale> boxxy: thanks :)
[12:02] <boxxy> Guest47116, again not supported
[12:02] <shanet555> sidd_mak: of course!!! Thankyou :)
[12:02] <tehbaut> Anyone here good with hard drives and/or data recovery? I'm trying to clone a disk that has a few bad sectors, using dd ...but it seems to continually slow to a crawl. Any idea what the cause might be, and how to fix it, if possible?
[12:02] <boxxy> fale, my pleasure
[12:02] <sidd_mak> shanet555: u will find all kind of tuts
[12:03] <shanet555> sidd_mak: Going there now
[12:03] <sabri_icone> boxxy: there no site emulating shell command?
[12:03] <boxxy> sabri_icone, not to my knowlege what exactly are you after?
[12:03] <gioele> is there a way to have a guest user on the initial GDM login screen? Not an account named 'guest', but a temporary guest account as provided by the f-u-s-a menu
[12:04] <shanet555> sidd_mak: And bash script is part of the kernel, therefore the same with all distros, correct?
[12:04] <greppy> shanet555: bash is not part of the kernel
[12:04] <sidd_mak> yA
[12:04] <shcherbak> kusanagi: looks normal, one zombie, do you have errors on xorg.log or syslog?
[12:04] <greppy> shanet555: it is however a common shell on linux, solaris, and the BSDs
 virtual boxx??
[12:04] <shanet555> greppy: So it will be the same through *nix, solaris and BSD?
[12:05] <sabri_icone> boxxy: a shell emulator .. because i am not permitted to install linux on the entreprise desktop
[12:05] <greppy> shanet555: most of the time, yes.  but for instance I have a solaris server that has bash2 instead of the latest version, not everything works quite the same.
[12:06] <edwardteach> kusanagi, if you log out , then back in,  do the symptoms  persist ?
[12:06] <greppy> sabri_icone: you could get a shell account from freeshell.org, it's NetBSD, but you could get to it using putty or another ssh client.
[12:06] <zlatan> hi there...again me...something is using 20GB+ memory that I would expect...is it possibly while using synaptic he downloads all packages and puts them there...I have now 2200 packages installed...and basic came 1500...that means other 700 used abut +20GB and that is almost impossible...Any clue??
[12:06] <boxxy> sabri_icone, are you wanting to run linux on your work computer?
[12:06] <shanet555> greppy: Do you know about batch scripting?
[12:06] <kusanagi> edwardteach, yep
[12:07] <greppy> shanet555: I do some shell scripting, yes.
[12:08] <sabri_icone> boxxy: no just UNIX or Linux shell in the navigator if possible
[12:08] <kusanagi> shcherbak, ive got the syslog filled with messages like this one Jan 20 10:13:47 tachikoma kernel: [80053.935158] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x1070650
[12:08] <shanet555> greppy: Batch scripting is the windows counterpart. I am just wondering how I would save a shell script? (file extension)
[12:08] <bazhang> shanet555, ##windows for that
[12:08] <deebo> anyone happen to have a t410i from lenovo?
[12:08] <greppy> shanet555: ah, sorry, yeah, .bat files, been a while.  for shell scripts a common extension is .sh
[12:09] <kusanagi> shcherbak, ive googled several times and I havent been able to fix it tho. Ive got that for 3 years tho and I hadnt this problem
[12:09] <boxxy> sabri_icone, i dont understand what your trying to do or why, but have you considered live usb/cd distobutions?
[12:09] <shanet555> greppy: Thanks, you have been really helpful today.
[12:09] <jrib> shanet555: it makes more sense to not put an extension on a shell script, they're just executable files not files run through "sh" (sh is really vague)
[12:09] <edwardteach> kusanagi, i am guessing you have tried the live cd to compare!
[12:10] <boxxy> sabri_icone, such as busybox
[12:10] <ubutom> sabri_icone, http://techcruser.blogspot.com/2008/07/online-bash-shell-for-windows-users.html
[12:10] <shcherbak> kusanagi: What about new user (to know if it is global or userspace configuration)?
[12:10] <BajK_> hm well at least bluetooth is working now
[12:10] <knoppies> How would you suggest I boot into ubuntu on my second partition, first HDD, if I want GRUB to be on a USB?
[12:10] <BajK_> booyah that rocks :)
[12:11] <shcherbak> kusanagi: xorg.log do not have errors?
[12:13] <shanet555> greppy: Thanks, you have been really helpful today.
[12:14] <shanet555> jrib: Ok, thankyou for that advice. I think I will use it though until I am a bit more confidant in my shell scripting abilities.
[12:14] <jrib> shanet555: has nothing to do with shell scripting abilities
[12:14] <kusanagi> edwardteach, not really
[12:14] <kusanagi> shcherbak, thats a good idea, ill try that
[12:15] <kusanagi> shcherbak, not that i can tell, but here its the paste of Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/cUvD9DXJ
[12:15] <shanet555> jrib:Then what has it got to do with?
[12:16] <Name141> What is it you put after your crontab for it not to send you mail? > /dev/null 0 or something ?
[12:16] <edwardteach> knoppies, i do not understand the question . you could just have ubuntu installed on usb and use the hdd for storage !

[12:17] <Darklove> can not limit send in tc

[12:18] <bazhang> !ot | sabri_icone
[12:19] <jrib> shanet555: .sh is confusing because for one "sh" means different things on different systems.  And if you're writing a script that's getting interpreted by bash then it really doesn't make sense because sh is not bash.  Just don't put an extension, it's not required and honestly it's confusing
[12:19] <shcherbak> kusanagi: 329 line is worth to google, there is problem, all /usr/lib/libpixman do not look good.
[12:19] <knoppies> jrib, shanet555 or make up your own extension, I find files without extensions to be confusing.

[12:20] <venilsurya> Does RAM work better if you rub it with an eraser?
[12:20] <bazhang> venilsurya, no
[12:20] <shanet555> knoppies: are you saying that there is no requirement for file extensions in linux?
[12:20] <llutz> venilsurya: only when done at full moon
[12:20] <jrib> shanet555: that's correct
[12:20] <venilsurya> bazhang: That's what I thought, but someone here swears by it
[12:20] <venilsurya> llutz:lol
[12:20] <venilsurya> You're probably right
[12:20] <knoppies> shanet555, for the most part, your file extensions can be whatever you want, or even absent. It makes no difference to the file.
[12:20] <bazhang> venilsurya, offtopic here try ##hardware
[12:21] <shanet555> jrib: So how does the OS know what to do when you open a program as opposed to a text file?
[12:21] <jrib> shanet555: just conventions (like the one where things you execute usually do not have file extenions :))
[12:21] <venilsurya> bazhang:ok, but I think llutz had the right idea
[12:21] <jrib> shanet555: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

[12:21] <llutz> venilsurya: some guys do that to get dust/dirt off the ram-module contacts
[12:21] <knoppies> shanet555, it tends to just be able to tell. I still put file extensions in, but for my benefit.
[12:21] <greppy> shanet555: the permissions on the file and if there is a #! line, denoting an interpretor like #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/perl
[12:22] <shanet555> jrib: Thankyou
[12:22] <shanet555> greppy: I dont quite understand what #! is yet

[12:23] <llutz> venilsurya: idk
[12:23] <bazhang> venilsurya, please take chat elsewhere
[12:23] <greppy> shanet555: you'll get there, take a look at the advanced bash scripting guide.
[12:23] <sidd_mak>  shanet555 : u can call any command from history

[12:25] <knoppies> shanet555, # is a comment line, but #! is something more important. I think you should look at a shell script tutorial to get a good understanding.

[12:26] <bazhang> PhonicUK, install linux-generic-pae . it will pull in the rest
[12:26] <shanet555> I like ubottu :P
[12:26] <knoppies> shanet555, I suggest a slightly simpler one online before trying the ABS, but when you get the hang of things you will probably like the ABS. I will see if I have a bookmark for an easy tut.
[12:26] <PhonicUK> bazhang, will i need to reconfigure GRUB, or will it be done for me?
[12:26] <shanet555> knoppies: brilliant.
[12:26] <bazhang> PhonicUK, will be done for you
[12:27] <PhonicUK> cool, ty
[12:27] <PhonicUK> got a Atom N270, and 3GB RAM
[12:27] <PhonicUK> only able to use 2.5 without PAE

[12:29] <Squarism> are there some effort done to multiple monitor support/roaming-laptop-usage for ubuntu recently
[12:29] <Squarism> im on 10.04
[12:29] <PhonicUK> multi monitor works fine for me
[12:29] <PhonicUK> that said, the nVidia control panel does it for me
[12:29] <DasEi> Squarism: which g-card ?

[12:36] <phenom> What is u with Wubi? :/
[12:36] <phenom> Nothing but bugs with Ubuntu
[12:36] <phenom> ..
[12:36] <foo> Anyone know of a daemon I can run that can log an rss feed? mainly want to keep a text copy of a twitter feed, for instance, so it's greppable. Looking for a daemon or something similar, thanks
[12:37] <phenom> Is Wubi compatible with win7?
[12:37] <Scott`> yes phenom
[12:37] <shcherbak> Hate to do it, but #tmux is ghosted, so question is: how to change pane border colour "on fly" (without editing config)?
[12:37] <sidd_mak> mtt : enter the amount of space u req. in free space preceding
[12:37] <phenom> I"mm getting nothing but errors trying to use it
[12:38] <Scott`> you could just run ubuntu in virtualbox if you want
[12:38] <phenom> First it spits: pyrun.exe says "no disk" a million times,, and them it says it can not download the ISO!
[12:38] <phenom> Pissing me off
[12:38] <Scott`> oh
[12:38] <Scott`> do you have UAC on
[12:38] <phenom> Scott`, With all due respect, I don't want to.
[12:39] <phenom> Scott`, Yes
[12:39] <Scott`> try turning it off
[12:39] <mtt> done
[12:39] <Scott`> iirc doing that fixed it
[12:39] <phenom> I hear you, but it's not that important to me
[12:39] <phenom> Shouldn't have to degrade the security of my system to install Wubi
[12:39] <phenom> - ubuntu
[12:40] <sidd_mak> mtt : after resizing u will see unallocated space
[12:40] <mtt> yes
[12:40] <Scott`> its not very hard to install ubuntu fully though
[12:40] <akhyariz> hi all, anybody using keylogger in ubuntu? where can I download it?
[12:40] <sidd_mak> mtt : rigth click press new
[12:40] <phenom> Scott`, I know I have it installed on a few pc's
[12:40] <phenom> I just wanted to try wubi for shits and giggles and check out the new UI
[12:41] <sidd_mak> mtt : n also create partition for swap
[12:41] <mtt> mmh
[12:41] <Scott`> oh
[12:41] <mtt> "It is not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions"
[12:41] <Scott`> in the default state it sucks cause the buttons are on the left
[12:41] <sidd_mak> mtt : go 4 logical
[12:41] <sidd_mak> mtt : how much is the unallocated space?
[12:41] <phenom> Scott`, That is actually preferred. I have a widescreen and put the toolbar on the left any way
[12:42] <mtt> about 64 gb
[12:42] <sidd_mak> mtt : first u extend the parti.
[12:43] <mtt> how much?
[12:43] <sidd_mak> mtt  : all of it 64 g
[12:43] <jon8> how can i revert to a default my.cnf file for mysql?
[12:43] <phenom> Says can not download the metalink and therefor the ISO
[12:44] <phenom> :/
[12:44] <mtt> sorry for being so noob, but how can i extend the partition?
[12:44] <sidd_mak> mtt  : u will again get 64gb space under extended parti.
[12:44] <sidd_mak> mtt  : right click to unallocated space , press  new
[12:44] <boxxy> hey there, anyone know howto run two keyboards at the same time but with a different layout, one qwerty one dvorak?

[12:45] <phenom> What is the ubuntu dev chan?
[12:45] <phenom> #ubuntu-dev go figure

[12:46] <BajK_> hm, why can't I receive files with BlueDeviL? I can send files to my smartphone just fine but receiving it always fails. The mobile states "The dfevice refused connection"
[12:46] <knoppies> boxxy, try MPX, but that will be like having two cursors I think.
[12:46] <mtt> it says "If you want more partitions you should first create an extended partition. Such a partition can contain other partitions. Because an extended partition is also a primary partition it might be necessary to remove a primary partition first."
[12:46] <Line__> hello i know how to use wpa supplicant to connectto a secure etwork, how do i connect to an unsecured network though?
[12:46] <BajK_> they are linked with a PIN and I trusted the smartphone but it doesnt work
[12:46] <Line__> im running ubutu server btw
[12:46] <mtt> but i don't know how to create an extended parti
[12:47] <sidd_mak> mtt  : right click to unallocated space , press  new and then in that select Extended  Partition in "Create As" option

[13:04] <mah454> Did you work with flexPaper ?
[13:05] <sidd_mak> juk : it has a nice UI
[13:05] <juk> sidd_mak: why did they renamed it???
[13:05] <juk> sidd_mak: i know, but it was gmplayer for ages
[13:05] <gordonjcp> does the stock Ubuntu mplayer support jack?
[13:05] <gordonjcp> (I'm not using Ubuntu right now so I can't check)
[13:05] <sidd_mak> juk : i don't think they renamed it
[13:05] <jrib> juk: smplayer is not gmplayer, you probably want gnome-mplayer
[13:06] <RaidSoft> Anyone know if I can use xrdp to connect with a windows built in remote desktop client (RDP) to an ubuntu computer acting as server?
[13:06] <juk> jrib: can i use skins with gnome-mplayer?
[13:07] <jrib> juk: I don't know, I've never used it
[13:07] <juk> jrib: ok
[13:07] <jrib> juk: I'm just making a guess it's the same thing, and suggesting you try it
[13:07] <juk> jrib: why did they remove gmplayer, it was for sure
[13:07] <noroot> has anyone any knowledge of using the ipod touch with remote mouse sever on ubuntu. they dont make a linux version of the software so i wined the windows version. and i can move the mouse but no clicking and i cant send keyb events?

[13:08] <boxxy> !wine > boxxy
[13:08] <jrib> juk: reading the description of gnome-mplayer, it doesn't seem to be the same
[13:08] <ibrahim> jrib, is there a way or a huge font package to fix some microsoft fonts or other default fonts like verdana, tahoma .. etc. because i know from some websites that their fonts were not like what ubuntu shows me now when i clicked on them. he?
[13:08] <concon> noroot: The guys at wine probably does, and if you check the wine app db on the wine project homepage you'll get some inclination if it works or not
[13:08] <boxxy> !appdb

[13:10] <ibrahim> jrib, i am not sure but for example hotmail's sign in page's font was segoe ui but in ubuntu it's different, like arial font. i want to see websites with their original fotns. s, do i need ttf-mscorefonts-installer?
[13:10] <tomatto_> where i find new version of qt?
[13:10] <tomatto_> libs
[13:11] <ibrahim> and jrib, ttf-mscorefonts-installer includes which fonts, where can i see them?
[13:11] <bonjoyee> ibrahim: you need the ttf-mscorefonts-installer..
[13:11] <jrib> ibrahim: the description describes what fonts that gives you, I don't know if that's what you need or not. (apt-cache show PACKAGE)
[13:11] <kuuki> hai to everyone.....when i am trying to open a excel file in ubuntu it is always displaying a window that "recovery the document"..what is that
[13:11] <ibrahim> ok.
[13:11] <Lint> segoe UI is not corefont
[13:11] <Lint> you cannot have it legally on Linux
[13:12] <bonjoyee> ibrahim: but newer fonts like calibri, segoe etc..are not included..just the basic ones needed for the web..
[13:12] <ibrahim> hmm, bonjoyee, what's your advice to install to see almost the true fonts on web while using ubuntu?
[13:13] <ibrahim> well, it's annoying to see arial everywhere on web.
[13:14] <nimrod10> on ubuntu 10.04 i386 , rhytmbox 0.12.8 I can't browse other people's shared music over the network (DAAP plugin) but they can browse mine. Any ideas ?

[13:15] <Benkinooby> please can someone help me to activate sound in wolfenstein: enemy territory? i sue ubuntu 10.04
[13:16] <bonjoyee> Benkinooby: sue ubuntu?;)
[13:16] <boxxy> nimrod, let me clear that  up, do you use a firewall? have you enabled sharing in your rythmbox settings
[13:16] <Benkinooby> bonjoyee, oha, typy :o
[13:16] <Benkinooby> typo
[13:16] <Benkinooby> :/
[13:17] <mtt> sidd_mak... maybe there's a solution from hp forums. the way to get one primary partition is to backup the hp_tools one on c drive and then delete it. is it possible to backup those files from ubuntu's "try now" mode (which i'm using right now) or have i to use win7?
[13:17] <Benkinooby> witherway, there is a forum page for that, but it's not very helpful.... http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Spiele/Wolfenstein_Enemy_Territory#Modding
[13:18] <sidd_mak> mtt : see hp driver n tools can be downloaded from Hp's site
[13:18] <sidd_mak> mtt : even i m using hp notebook
[13:19] <nimrod10> boxxy, I'm not using any firewall
[13:19] <Lint> ibrahim, you cannot use these fonts if you have no Windows
[13:19] <ayaka> I use ibus to type chinese,but I press shift into Englishi mode,but before that,I should clean I have typed,I want to it turn into a once,how to do?
[13:20] <kuuki> hai to everyone.....when i am trying to open a excel file in ubuntu it is always displaying a window that "recovery the document"..what is that
[13:20] <tarelerulz> any of you gotten hdmi sound working on a tv?
[13:20] <gordonjcp> could anyone running a plain vanilla Ubuntu version of mplayer please pastebin or pm me the results of "mplayer -ao help" ?
[13:20] <gordonjcp> *not* Medibuntu
[13:20] <ubutom> kuuki, the application you are opening this excel file with is trying to convert that excel file or to "repair" it. Since the format is a proprietary one by ms and there even isn't very much compatibility from one MS Office version to another you should just let it do what it wants to do and check if the file still works like it's supposed to.
[13:20] <ibrahim> sidd_mak, your link makes all web pages to a single font that i choose?
[13:21] <mtt> sidd_mak so no problem if i delete this partition? i've already burned my recovery dvds...
[13:21] <noroot> what is the browser irc website. i can never seem to change channels when im using irc programs (gnome xchat)
[13:21] <ibrahim> Lint, i just installed ttf-mscorefonts and it fixed partly.
[13:21] <ibrahim> ok then.
[13:22] <bonjoyee> ibrahim: you can do so by unchecking a box in firefox that says "let web sites choose their fonts"
[13:22] <GHH> Is it Possible to rename "Ubuntu" ?
[13:23] <ibrahim> bonjoyee, then what happens? all websites are shown with the same font i choosed?
[13:23] <DJones> gordonjcp: Hopefully this is what you want http://pastebin.com/ZSMucuBA
[13:23] <aeon-ltd> GHH: why?
[13:23] <bonjoyee> ibrahim: i believe so!
[13:23] <gordonjcp> DJones: awesome, thanks
[13:24] <ibrahim> bonjoyee, thank you but i need letting websites to show their own fonts correctly in ubuntu.
[13:24] <gordonjcp> DJones: I'm not on an Ubuntu machine, I can't shell into my PC at home which is currently booted into Ubuntu but not running an openssh server, and I'm trying to explain how to connect audio apps with jack to someone using Ubuntu who doesn't really speak any of the same languages as me
[13:24] <ibrahim> anyway, i see it's not fully possible, but this ttf-mscorefonts fixed some.
[13:24] <ibrahim> ok.
[13:24] <bonjoyee> !details | GHH
[13:24] <gordonjcp> DJones: at least I know it actually uses jack ;-)
[13:24] <sidd_mak> mtt : ya
[13:25] <DJones> gordonjcp: Thats from a lucid machine, just checked to make sure that medibuntu isn't enabled. Didn't have mplayer installed so it was a clean install of mplayer a minute beforehand
[13:25] <boxxy> is it a illegal to sell copies of ubuntu? and would canonical supply ubuntu with legal reprisentation?
[13:25] <gordonjcp> DJones: great, thanks

[13:27] <Calinou> boxxy: ubuntu is free, why would you sell it then?
[13:27] <void_pointer> !ati
[13:27] <bonjoyee> boxxy: as long as one charges just for the labor/media .. i think it should be fine!
[13:27] <aeon-ltd> boxxy: you starting a war here too boxxy?, 4CHAN FTW !!!!!!
[13:28] <ibrahim> aeon-ltd, can i pvt?

[13:28] <aeon-ltd> ibrahim: ok
[13:28] <budyn> aaa
[13:28] <boxxy> i was just thinking about how ubuntu could sue the people on ebay for selling it to raise funds and then hire staff
[13:28] <boxxy> lol
[13:29] <mtt> ok sidd_mak... i've deleted that damned hp_tools partition... now i should set "extended partition" and take all the 65 gb i freed from c drive for the new partition, shouldn't i?

[13:38] <GHH> DasEi,  the live cd such as ubuntu@ubuntu and the boot up name. I mean creating another OS nam
[13:39] <sidd_mak> bonjoyee : modems are config in NAT mode by default i think
[13:39] <GHH> jrib, DasEi I need to do for education purpose
[13:39] <mbeierl> GHH: you want to change the live CD?
[13:39] <mohit> bonjoyee, : sorry .. when i connect  in windows , it works fine.... but in ubuntu
[13:39] <mohit> it is not working
[13:39] <BajK_> is it just placebo or did prelinking significantly improved performance of my KDE on my notebook?
[13:39] <GHH> mbeierl, If possible
[13:39] <DasEi> GHH: os = operating system = ubuntu, no way to change it into win

[13:40] <DasEi> GHH: sudo hostname win, your pc wil be known as win in a network
[13:40] <jrib> !remaster | GHH, this should get you started, but I don't know if it covers your exact question
[13:41] <GHH> DasEi, win ? sorry i did not get you
[13:41] <DasEi> GHH: an example to change the name ubuntu to win or winnetou or whatever
[13:43] <DasEi> GHH: where to you want to change it, in the bootsplash ?
[13:43] <GHH> DasEi, splash and the hostname both
[13:44] <DasEi> ghh: splash you would have to alter plymouth, hostname see above
[13:45] <BajK_> where do I get this KDE oxygen style for GTK?
[13:45] <BajK_> or is it not yet done what they are doing?
[13:45] <ne2k> I have installed a TTF font (double clicked it in nautilus, it opened, I clicked "install", and it copied it to ~/.fonts), but it is not showing up in programs. Is there anything I have to do to get the font to be recognized? I would rather not reboot.
[13:46] <marcelod> cit

[13:46] <santhust> hi every one. need help on deleting swap partition, to create free space. installed ubuntu on 4GB pendrive.
[13:46] <DasEi> !plymouth | ghh
[13:46] <jrib> ne2k: you also need to restart the program
[13:47] <GHH> DasEi, Can I disable it fully?
[13:47] <DasEi> GHH: yes, in /etc/default/grub
[13:47] <ne2k> jrib: thanks. found it here too: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/1140-installing-truetype-fonts-under-ubuntu]
[13:48] <ngrstan> omg! you guys are talking about grub!
[13:48] <ngrstan> i've been up all night trying to get that damn thing working properly.
[13:48] <buhradlee> anyone familiar with atheros wireless cards?
[13:48] <santhust> hi every one. need help on deleting swap partition, to create free space. installed ubuntu on 4GB pendrive
[13:48] <GHH> DasEi, I need to write it to disk as a live cd for future installation
[13:48] <DasEi> ngrstan: ask in a precise manner, for  hard chews try #grub
[13:49] <yoshcoooo> hey, i have quick question
[13:49] <DasEi> ghh: you want a default install without splashscreen ?
[13:49] <aeon-ltd> !ask | yoshcoooo
[13:49] <ngrstan> DasEi: i booted into livecd ubuntu 10.04, resized my main (ubuntu) partition just fine, installed winxp onto newly created ntfs partition.  it proceeded to screw up my mbr, and would only boot into winxp
[13:50] <ngrstan> so my process at that point was trying every method to repair the mbr, reinstall grub, etc
[13:50] <nuesel> Has anyone an idea how to setup a network bond and bridge?
[13:50] <ngrstan> so far i've run into hangups at every stop. results so far have included: boots into grub itself.  also, boots into black screen.
[13:50] <DasEi> ngrstan: ah, so first few steps back, after resizing, did you adjust /etc/fstab ?
[13:51] <ngrstan> DasEi: i did not.  i used gparted to change the size of the main partition and add the new ntfs partition
[13:51] <bonjoyee> santhust: delete the partition and also delete its entry  in fstab and reboot
[13:51] <santhust> can i delete swap partition to create free space for /home/usr
[13:51] <ngrstan> currently gparted, ubuntu installer, etc, all show the partitions just fine.
[13:51] <santhust> sorry /home/username
[13:52] <DasEi> ngrstan: so way to go is than, boot live cd, get the (now changed) uuids from your resized linux-partitons, correct fstab  and device.map,  chroot into the system, re-install grub and install os-prober
[13:52] <aeon-ltd> santhust: yes, but you're gonna need swap space if you run basically anything that needs scratch space, or if you use hibernation
[13:52] <DasEi> then*
[13:53] <DasEi> !blkid | ngrstan
[13:53] <santhust>  anyone please.. can i delete swap partition to create some free space for /home/username
[13:53] <ngrstan> the current uuid appears to be correct, or at least its what i've pulled up in the console
[13:53] <aeon-ltd> santhust: yes, but you're gonna need swap space if you run basically anything that needs scratch space, or if you use hibernation
[13:53] <DasEi> !grub
[13:53] <yoshcoooo> ok, i have a bin folder with many binaries, i would like to be able to run it (in terminal) from anywhere. where should i move it, or add it to path. (windows users switching)
[13:53] <ngrstan> i said grub, i meant grub2
[13:54] <DasEi> ngrstan: the first link from !grub details how to chroot, but first the ""new"" partitons must be found again
[13:54] <ngrstan> the ubuntu install is meerkat, i'm on a lynx livedisc, if that is relevant
  actually installed ubuntu on 4GB pendrive.. now running out of space.. :(
[13:54] <aeon-ltd> yoshcoooo: how about symlinks in /usr/bin ?
[13:54] <DasEi> ngrstan: common sense in ubu, grub is now grub2
[13:55] <yoshcoooo> aeon: thnx i will look into it
[13:55] <ngrstan> sorry for my slowness, but what do you mean !grub, and !shell
[13:55] <GHH> DasEi, how can create the host name for permanent for my live cd(Perhaps need to edit manually somewhere)?
[13:55] <aeon-ltd> santhust: my advice, start removing stuff you don't need, switch to alternatives - e.g. gnome to openbox to cut down on application's software footprint
[13:55] <adi11> hi everyone. can anyone help me? i can't start liferea clicking from the icon neither from terminal.
[13:55] <aeon-ltd> santhust: how big is your current swap space?
[13:56] <aeon-ltd> adi11: did you accidently uninstall it?
[13:56] <adi11> no its is there.
[13:56] <aeon-ltd> yoshcoooo: ok
[13:56] <ngrstan> now this is interesting, blkid shows the same uuid i've been using this whole time for sda1 (ubuntu)
[13:56] <adi11> i doubble checked
[13:56] <DasEi> GHH: you won't as a cd isn't writeable
[13:56] <ibrahim> which IDE should i use for C and C++ programming in ubuntu?
[13:56] <santhust> aeon-ltd: ok..
[13:56] <ngrstan> ibrahim: eclipse is a popular choice.  also geany
[13:56] <DasEi> GHH: can do this on a persistent usb install
[13:56] <santhust> aeon-ltd: anything else that may be of help??
[13:57] <adi11> liferea from terminal gives this: ERROR:ui_node.c:195:ui_node_add: assertion failed: (NULL == ui_node_to_iter (node->id))
[13:57] <adi11> Aborted
[13:57] <yoshcoooo> aeon: from what i understand everything in my home/bin is in my "path" so i should add a symbolic link to the bin folder i want to add and include it in there?
[13:57] <aeon-ltd> santhust: how big is the current swap space?
[13:57] <GHH> DasEi, I mounted the ISO and editing it for creating a Ubuntu base live CD
[13:57] <santhust> aeon-ltd: i guess it might be about 600 MB
[13:57] <adi11> aeon ltd: anyidea about this error output lifrea?
[13:58] <aeon-ltd> santhust: you could probably shrink it down to 512mb (half a GB)
[13:58] <aeon-ltd> adi11: no idea, sorry
[13:58] <adi11> ok
[13:58] <overdub> yoshcoooo, it's easier to simply keep your executables in /home/bin
[13:58] <MrUnagi_> how can i run cp in the background so that if my ssh disconnects, the cp will still take place
[13:58] <viniciusjose> hello
[13:58] <overdub> yoshcoooo, manage them all from one location
[13:58] <nacho2k> hi guys, anybody was able to install passwordsafe in 64bit ?
[13:59] <tasse> is it possible that if i boot 10.04 it boots with the programs i used the last time?
[13:59] <DasEi> GHH: you follow a tut for a custom cd ?
[13:59] <aeon-ltd> yoshcoooo: oh wait new idea, aliases in your bashrc
[13:59] <DJones> MrUnagi_: You could use screen & then run the cp within screen
[13:59] <GHH> DasEi, yea
[13:59] <DJones> !screen | MrUnagi_
[13:59] <MrUnagi_> ty
[13:59] <greppy> nacho2k: from passwordsafe.sf.net?  last I heard 64bit is broken for it, they are aware and working on it.
[13:59] <GHH> DasEi, I like to rename the OS name for my personal use
[13:59] <santhust> aeon-ltd: i didn't create it manually, but by default by ubuntu...in this cale i guess on 4GB it should be around 600 MB. can i do away with it completely..
[13:59] <nuesel> I need a little help. I try to set up a network bonding and bridge. Both work, but not together. Any idea?
[13:59] <_steve> tasse, system --> prefferences --> startup programs
[14:00] <aeon-ltd> santhust: what kind of applications do you run?
[14:00] <nacho2k> greppy: cool, thanks for the info!, I have changed my ubuntu to 64 bit and now I am running it on a virtual machine on windows..lol...
[14:00] <GHH> DasEi, But i do not find this way easily
[14:00] <tasse> ah thanks _steve
[14:00] <viniciusjose> hello
[14:00] <tasse> gonna try it ;)
[14:00] <nacho2k> greppy: I will be aware about next release ;) thanks!
[14:00] <santhust> aeon-ltd: g++, python, firefox, octave, wine, pdfexchange.. only these
[14:01] <_steve> tasse, no problem.
[14:01] <GHH> DasEi, Possible?
[14:01] <greppy> nacho2k: you may want to look at http://waxandwane.org/clipsafe.html or the java passwordsafe or gorilla safe
[14:01] <dslip> hello people. hopefully a simple questions, I have two ubuntu 10.04 LTS servers and need to compare the installed packages between the two (1 server when running a java app goes 100% on one core) which is abnormal. So, i believe that there is an installed package conflicting. What is the easiest way to compare installed packages ? Can I list installed packages to a txt file and then use something
[14:01] <dslip> like diff ?
[14:01] <Ruudjah> In nautilus, I do a search and enter *.png. I know in subfolders there are png files, but it does not find anything.
[14:01] <DasEi> GHH: so go ahead then, I'm up too long for now for new adventures, that you can do, but once you burned a cd, there are no more remaining changes ,  yes possible.. I recommend you a usb for such things, instead of waisting cd's
[14:01] <nacho2k> greppy: thanks! I will take a look on them! really appreciate your info!
[14:02] <greppy> dslip: dpkg --get-selections
[14:02] <erUSUL> Ruudjah: maybe nautilus does not understan globs
[14:02] <santhust> aeon-ltd: i've already deleted all games, and other unnecessary applications.. (i also use open office).
[14:02] <GHH> DasEi, I am using re-writeable CD
[14:02] <aeon-ltd> santhust: you could probably get away with a swap space of 64mb to 256mb, depending on the ram on the host pc(s) you use
[14:03] <tomatto_> how solve this /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQtGui ?
[14:03] <DasEi> GHH: yupp
[14:03] <Ruudjah> erUSUL: that'd make it pretty useless
[14:03] <erUSUL> Ruudjah: indeed
[14:03] <GHH> DasEi, How it possible? I am searching for long time(already spent 4 days)
[14:04] <santhust> aeon-ltd: ok.. can u suggest some link or document which can be of help ?
[14:04] <Ruudjah> "globs"/
[14:04] <Ruudjah> ?
[14:04] <santhust> aeon-ltd: i googled, but haven't found some thing good/ok/better..
[14:04] <aeon-ltd> santhust: not really, besides using gparted to edit them
[14:05] <santhust> aeon-ltd: can i do this while running ubuntu itself?
[14:05] <santhust> aeon-ltd: will there be any mounting problems etc.?
[14:05] <aeon-ltd> santhust: i suppose so, but i wouldn't call that 'safe', corruption may occur when editing
[14:06] <aeon-ltd> santhust: no, the uuids of the partitions remain the same, unless you delete them; resizing them doesn't change the uuids
[14:06] <lighta> hi guys, how can I shutdown samba service ?
[14:06] <santhust> aeon-ltd: ok.. thanks very much... :-)
[14:07] <aeon-ltd> lighta: 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop' iirc
[14:07] <aeon-ltd> santhust: ok, hope it works out
[14:07] <erUSUL> lighta: sudo stop smbd
[14:07] <santhust> aeon-ltd: i'll see what can be done.. thanks again :)
[14:07] <_steve> lighta, or 'sudo service smbd stop'
[14:08] <aeon-ltd> santhust: ok
[14:08] <lighta> thx guys =)
[14:08] <wilow04> hi
[14:08] <erUSUL> lighta: and for the winbind --> sudo stop nmbd
[14:09] <dslip> ok, so i have both dpkg-selections text files, can someone here explain to me how to use a cli program (maybe diff ?) to compare them, so I can find out what is different between both servers
[14:09] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:10] <greppy> dslip: diff file1 file2
[14:11] <erUSUL> dslip: diff -u file1 file2; or you may want a gui diff program like meld
[14:11] <erUSUL> dslip: meld file1 file2
[14:12] <tomatto_> how solve this /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQtGui ?

[14:14] <trelayne> hey all, anyone know other workspace switching hot-keys beyond  Ctrl-Alt-<Arrow> ?
[14:14] <tomatto_> erUSUL: libqt4-dev right?
[14:15] <greppy> trelayne: you can change those under preferences->keybindings
[14:15] <coz_> trelayne,  are you using compiz
[14:15] <aeon-ltd> trelayne: iirc/guessing but the numbers also work right? e.g. ctrl-alt-1
[14:15] <trelayne> coz_,  yes
[14:15] <coz_> trelayne,   desktop or laptop?
[14:15] <trelayne> aeon-ltd,  not the numbers don't work
[14:15] <trelayne> coz_, laptop
[14:15] <erUSUL> tomatto_: maybe the programs needs qt3? or another secondary library
[14:15] <coz_> trelayne,    ctrl+alt+ left right arrows
[14:15] <trelayne> but I want to say have a hotkey for "previous workspace"
[14:16] <tomatto_> i think no qt3 lib needed
[14:16] <trelayne> coz_, yes I used those but I'm looking for a "previous ws" command. I use workspaces in two dimensions (3x3)
[14:16] <coz_> trelayne,   unless you have a dock in stalled  that has a switcher... or you could try the settings in the viewport switcher plugin  let me check here
[14:17] <coz_> trelayne,   you can set keybindings within  the viewport switcher if you like
[14:17] <trelayne> coz_, thanks for this, taking a look now
[14:17] <craigbass1976> Anyone know what thunderbird
[14:17] <craigbass1976> 's backend database is.
[14:17] <coz_> trelayne,  under both the "Go to specific vidwport"  tab or  "Desktop-based biewport swtiching"  tab
[14:18] <tomatto_> erUSUL: it is only when i am building qt app as static, when it is dynamic libs its ok
[14:19] <dinexi> Hello. I have a question about Compose key in Ubuntu 10.10. I've added my rules to the .XCompose file in ~, but they seems to be working in xterm only. In all other application they doesn't, despite that Compose key is working (for example, I can use Compose-o-c to type © symbol and so on). What can I do to use my rules?
[14:19] <erUSUL> tomatto_: well then i dunno what the problem may be ...
[14:19] <tomatto_> erUSUL: really? what?
[14:20] <skorv> in msdos "path" would enable commands from a folder to be executed from anywhere. is there a similar thing in ubuntu
[14:20] <erUSUL> tomatto_: that it works if you compile as shared libs executable and fals if you compile statically
[14:20] <erUSUL> skorv: yes
[14:20] <skorv> nice
[14:21] <erUSUL> skorv: guess where msdos took the idea from ? yeah right from unix ;P
[14:21] <tomatto_> erUSUL: yes, but how to solve it?
[14:21] <skorv> nah i would never gessed it :P
[14:21] <tomatto_> when i need static app?
[14:21] <erUSUL> skorv: but they implemented it badly including current dir in it ... :P
[14:21] <skorv> so how do i do it?
[14:21] <skorv> < *noob alert*
[14:22] <erUSUL> skorv: your PATH var isw defined in ~/.profile you can tweak it there
[14:22] <skorv> ty
[14:23] <shadeslayer> could this have been caused by a bad graphics driver http://imagebin.org/133511
[14:23] <shadeslayer> ( note the weird colors )
[14:24] <aeon-ltd> shadeslayer: maybe, but i'd check your monitor first

[14:24] <shadeslayer> aeon-ltd: its quite randomn ... same spot appears fine on other pages
[14:24] <shadeslayer> wait
[14:25] <greppy> aeon-ltd: unless he used a camera to take the screenshot, it's not likely that the monitor is the problem.

[14:35] <greppy> shanet555: I'd have to take a look at my gnome desktop... and unfortunately, I can't do that right now, hopefully someone else can help.

[14:39] <SmokeyD> for NVIDIA it does that and then later jockey gives you the option to install the proprietary drivers later on
[14:39] <Squarism> FOR it to understand i unplugged my VGA cable
[14:40] <SmokeyD> Squarism: why do you need that? If you unplugged it, you unplugged it. What do you want ubuntu to do?
[14:40] <Squarism> SmokeyD, it doesnt detect it somehow
[14:41] <agrab> SmokeyD, so, the opensource driver should be used as default then? Because I have in mind Compiz didn't work properly before I installed the proprietary drivers
[14:41] <Squarism> it keeps feeding an unconnected monitor
[14:41] <magarwal> I am trying to do ftp from ubuntu 10.10, but after login to ftp , it hangs
[14:42] <magarwal> does ubuntu 10.10 needs any extra settings for ftp to work
[14:42] <Squarism> magarwal, prolly need to recompile kernel for FTP
[14:42] <SmokeyD> agrab: I wouldn´t know about that. I haven´t used ATI cards before. It may well be that the open source driver doesn´t support compiz properly or something
[14:42] <SmokeyD> but I wouldn´t know

[14:42] <shanet555> Hi everyone, I have somehow managed to loose the sound applet from my panel, and cant figure out how to add it back. I have looked in add new applet and can not find it, so am thinking it may be something else?
[14:43] <agrab> SmokeyD, Allright, I'll try it out then. Thanks
[14:43] <magarwal> Squarism:i am able to login to ftp
[14:43] <SmokeyD> Squarism: what do you mean with ¨it doesn´t detect it somehow¨. What should ubuntu detect when the cable is unplugged. What are you doing and what are you expecting to happen

[14:45] <nishttal2> Hi I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a 64-bit machine.. yesterday after an update.. firefox is crashing every time i click on a page that has flash in it
[14:45] <nishttal2> how can I fix this
[14:46] <bullgard4> shanet555: Try to de-install the DEB program package indicator-applet and then reinstall it.
[14:46] <tarelerulz> I have uninstall gnome default sound managing app .  I'm runing 10.10 how do I find it
[14:46] <ubuntusage> nishttal2: how much memory do you have?
[14:46] <shane_> AnthLee:I tried that and I lost my XChat window because it was on the notification area and it didnt come back :( Anyway I re-added the notification area but that only has the WIFI applet
[14:46] <nishttal2> 6 GB
[14:46] <ubuntusage> nishttal2: gimme me free -m output
[14:47] <nishttal2> ubuntusage, http://www.fpaste.org/jFSk/
[14:47] <bullgard4> tarelerulz: What do you mean by "GNOME default sound managing application"?
[14:48] <Williwaller> Hi all, how do you set the dot of the numerical pad to be a coma?
[14:48] <nishttal2> ubuntusage, system monitor says only 57.7% memory used
[14:48] <ubuntusage> nishttal2:  oops. you dont have free memory, wht do you run on thia machine tat eats up this much of mem?
[14:49] <ubuntusage> nishttal2:  you could have put some swap space
[14:49] <Pici> ubuntusage: Thats not what that output says.  Make sure that you look at the "-/+ buffers/cache" line.
[14:50] <nishttal2> ubuntusage, i am only using 57.7% of ram 3.4GB of 5.8GB
[14:50] <nishttal2> ubuntusage, and every other application is working great.. and this only happened after the update yesterday
[14:50] <ubuntusage> nishttal2: umm I was looking at  free : 73          0
[14:51] <nishttal2> ubuntusage, nah.. thats something else.. i have noticed linux takes up all available memory even when I am not running anything
[14:51] <nishttal2> ubuntusage, its probably buffering like Pici pointed out
[14:52] <nishttal2> Pici, why would an update break firefox
[14:52] <bullgard4> '~$ sudo iwlist eth1 modulation; eth1: unknown modulation information.' What is the reason of this negative result? [AP = Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7113]
[14:52] <Pici> nishttal2: When did the update happen?
[14:52] <nishttal2> Pici, yesterday
[14:52] <ubuntusage> nishttal2:  weired, it should no eat up this muuch , I guess yours is not somekind os server
[14:53] <ubuntusage> nishttal2:  of*
[14:53] <nishttal2> PIci, it broke my nvidia graphics driver and firefox.. i booted in rescue mode and rebuilt the nvidia driver (so thats fine now).. but dont know how to fix firefox
[14:53] <nishttal2> ubuntusage, no this is ubuntu desktop 10.10 64bit
[14:54] <Pici> nishttal2: Which version of firefox are you using?
[14:54] <nishttal2> Pici, 3.6.13
[14:55] <Pici> nishttal2: I don't see any recent updates to that package.  3.6.13+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1 was published 6 weeks ago.
[14:55] <ubuntusage> nishttal2:  check top and find out which one is eating memory.There will be specific reasons, you cant say LInux will eat memory. I am too on Ubuntu 10.10 al updated,
[14:55] <ubuntusage>            total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

[14:56] <dbm> its too slow...
[14:56] <Combatjuan> Sometimes when I wake my netbook up from sleep (in Jaunty), my konsole window no longer accepts right clicks.  The rest of the desktop does.  And if I close and reopen konsole, right click works again?  Anyone else?  Ideas?
[14:57] <craigbass1976> dbm, get a lighter weight ubuntu.  Either with xfce (xubunt) or LXDE (Lubuntu)  I had to to LXDE on this box
[14:57] <ubuntusage> dbm: how much is ur ram? u have compiz enabled? if you have low memory, I would suggest u to downgrade Ubuntu to lower version
[14:57] <aeon-ltd> Combatjuan: sounds like a bug, report it
[14:57] <ubuntusage> dbm: xfce is great
[14:57] <dbm> ubuntusage: 1gb ram, Amd spemron 3000+ NX6600 LE graphic and i dont have compiz enabled..
[14:57] <ubuntusage> dbm: I was having 512 and  xfce helped me a lot
[14:58] <patrunjel> hi there, i want to make a Ubuntu Startup Disk, but i have a problem.Othe the CD Drive/Image category i can't get rid of /dev/sr1.Can somewone help me? :) please...I mean, i have /dev/sr1 and the path to the ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 but i get a error when i press "Make Startup Disk", it's something about /der/sr1...
[14:58] <dbm> sempron*
[14:58] <Pici> nishttal2: I don't see anything for that package either.  Do you have issues if you boot from an older kernel?
[14:58] <Combatjuan> aeon-ltd: I suppose it probably is, but I'm not sure whose bug it is.  Another thing that seems to correlate is that holding down a key no longer repeats.  If I type "$xset r on", then that comes back.
[14:59] <Pici> Combatjuan: Jaunty reached its end-of-life on October 23rd 2010.  You really should upgrade.
[14:59] <Combatjuan> So I don't know if it's konsole, or Qt, or gnome/qt or X or what that is causing the problem.
[14:59] <NixGeek> dbm, in a terminal, type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and then on ligin choose the session type (at the bottom of the login screen once you choose your username) and change it to xfce
[15:00] <Combatjuan> Pici: I've been meaning to, but haven't found a compelling enough reason.
[15:00] <Diverdude> How do i play an avi movie over internet. I have it on my webserver under http://myip/vids/somevid.avi. If i open it in firefox or totem, then nothing happens. Its not because totem cannot play the file, because when i have it stored locally it plays fine...but served via http it works not. How do i then do it?
[15:00] <Pici> Combatjuan: Perhaps this is that reason ;)
[15:00] <aeon-ltd> Combatjuan: hmm, you may aswell report it under konsole, then test the others, if other terminals follow, then its probably X or udev not redetecting hardware inputs
[15:00] <WoolyMammoth> I've installed 10.10 but it only boots to the command line.
[15:00] <nishttal2> Pici, i havent tried booting in the old kernel yet

[15:06] <dtcrshr> hello! iv tried to update my 10.04 via update-manager -d but I got an error regarding some packages, saing im not connected. is there a way to force the update? or do i simply remove this packages?
[15:06] <jrib> dtcrshr: why are you using -d?
[15:06] <dtcrshr> bcause the update manager itself dont appear the new version button
[15:07] <jrib> dtcrshr: but -d is for updating to -devel releases.  That's not what you want to do.
[15:07] <jrib> !upgrade > dtcrshr
[15:07] <dtcrshr> oh i see
[15:07] <jrib> dtcrshr: LTS by default will only try to upgrade to another LTS.  You need to change that setting.  Ubottu's link explains
[15:08] <Symmetria> lo all
[15:08] <BluesKaj> dtcrshr, are you trying to upgrade to 10.10 . if so , -d means a development version like 11.04 , if you want 10.10 don't use -d
[15:08] <Symmetria> strange question, but is there ANY way whatsoever to upgrade from a 32bit system to a 64bit system short of a complete reinstall
[15:08] <dtcrshr> oh ok
[15:08] <Symmetria> or is that completely impossible :)
[15:08] <dtcrshr> well, im reading this instructions
[15:09] <Jeruvy> Symmetria: you need to reinstall.
[15:09]  * Symmetria doesnt wanna have to reinstall this system :( it will take forever, its complex, its likely to break and leave me days of work and its gonna leave the system offline :( 
[15:09] <Symmetria> heh jeruvy heh, thats what I thought, but one can always pray and hope :P
[15:09] <Symmetria> heh, ran into major issues because of the 32bit because of file system limitations on 32 bit systems yesterday
[15:09] <genii-around> Symmetria: It's not impossible, however, it's less time consuming to just reinstall
[15:10] <Jeruvy> Symmetria: I've heard rumors of ppl trying, but I can think of better ways to spend my winter ;)
[15:10] <spid3rn3t> hai evry 1 i v got nessus client but i dont can load all plugins
[15:10] <Lint> filesystem has no 32-bit limitations
[15:10] <Symmetria> heh my problem is this box averages 1.2 gigabit/second of traffic and has *immense* customization in it on everything from its scripts to its apache configs to its network stack tweaking
[15:10] <Symmetria> lint errr oh yes it does
[15:10] <Symmetria> it very definately does
[15:11] <Symmetria> lint try and create a file system > 16TB on a 32bit system
[15:11] <Symmetria> it cant be done :)
[15:11] <spid3rn3t> help

[15:11] <spid3rn3t> hai evry 1 i v got nessus client but i don t can load all plugins
[15:11] <dtcrshr> well, changed the software channels to normal releases, got the 10.10 button there, ill give a shot

[15:35] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: Ubuntu 10.10 the updates one.
[15:35] <mtt> hey
[15:36] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: actually it's not an old version but the brand new one
[15:36] <mtt> my partitioning is taking too long
[15:36] <Alex> DasEi: no, I wonder why my netbook is so slowly
[15:36] <om26er> wolfpack, which version of ubuntu?
[15:36] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: but my grub start's from the one which I installed later
[15:36] <DasEi> Alex:read it above;  open a terminal..
[15:36] <wolfpack> 10.04
[15:36] <mtt> is it normal 4 hrs for shrinking my drive c and get room for ubuntu?
[15:36] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: yea I know its a rand new one, I just have two of them installed
[15:36] <DasEi> Alex:sudo apt-get install bum htop
[15:36] <ne2k> B9: it's called a channel, not a room. you don't need a channel list. it's typical to join channels by name, having found the name from some other source, such as the www
[15:36] <Wiesshund> mtt depending on size and contents of drive yes
[15:36] <B9> Jerivy: thanx
[15:36] <Jeruvy> mtt: ntfs?  yes.  Not unusual.
[15:37] <wolfpack> om26er: 10.04
[15:37] <Alex> what is bum htop?
[15:37] <Alex> i have an ssd drive
[15:37] <DasEi> Alex: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && htop
[15:37] <VCoolio> ibrahim: what's wrong with the eclipse from the universe repo? or doesn't that do c++ ?

[15:37] <Krishnandu> Hi, I've some pictures, what can I use to put Copyright Text on the pictures??
[15:37] <DasEi> !info htop | Alex
[15:37] <ne2k> your bum!
[15:38] <jrib> Krishnandu: imagemagick
[15:38] <mtt> i've just spent 2 hrs for "reading" blocks, now i have to wait 4-5 hrs for "writing"!! that's a lot of time!
[15:38] <Krishnandu> jrib, Thanks
[15:38] <DasEi> ne2k: it's bum your sys, but let's stay topic
[15:38] <Alex> ah
[15:38] <ibrahim> i guess not. i've installed it from ubuntu software center and couldn't open a c/c++ project with that. so, uninstalled again.
[15:38] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: then boot from your 10.10 install disc (or download it first if you don't already get one), then tell the install process when it ask for it that you want grub to be installed on your first bootable hdd
[15:38] <Wiesshund> mtt resizing takes time
[15:38] <jrib> Krishnandu: I assume you want to batch process them on the command line right?
[15:38] <ne2k> mtt: how large is the partition, and how full is it? and how fragmented?
[15:38] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: it will overwrite the old grub
[15:38] <Krishnandu> jrib, That would be best
[15:39] <mtt> i have a 450gb partition
[15:39] <mtt> i have to shrink it to 390 gb
[15:39] <jrib> Krishnandu: k, imagemagick is the right tool for the job then :)  It's in the repositories and has online documentation
[15:39] <mtt> to get some space for ubuntu
[15:39] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: Yea but it will install another ubuntu?
[15:39] <DasEi> Alex: from htop you can also tell how much ram is there at all, and what is currently eating it up how much cpu is in use
[15:39] <mtt> i defragged yesterday
[15:39] <Krishnandu> One more thing, what can I use for primary video editing, like spliiting a video, joining videos, put copyright text, cut some part of a video etc
[15:39] <ne2k> Krishnandu: "convert" is the command line swiss-army knife from imagemagick suite
[15:39] <Krishnandu> jrib, Thanks
[15:40] <ne2k> Krishnandu: pitivi or kdenlive
[15:40] <VCoolio> ibrahim: is there a README inside? it could be like ./autogen.sh or ./configure to start with, then make, then 'sudo checkinstall' to create a deb and install
[15:40] <Krishnandu> ne2k, Thanks...
[15:40] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: no, it depends what partitions you tell the install process to use.
[15:40] <DasEi> ffmpeg, if you like syntax-fuzzle, Krishnandu
[15:40] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: I really dont get u :(
[15:41] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: it will replace the partition you specify
[15:41] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: hmmm it will replace it with a newer ubuntu right?
[15:41] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: or only grub?
[15:42] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: besides, if you tell it not to format the choosen partition, you will keep your data
[15:42] <DasEi> alex:any hints yet ?
[15:42] <mtt> ne2k: after writing data in the new partition (5 hrs from now), will it need other operations as long as this?
[15:42] <Alex> DasEi: no
[15:42] <DasEi> bhaveshnande: it depends on the installer-medium wherever that is newer or older than the existing ones on the hd
[15:42] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: it will replace it with the ubuntu version burned on the install disc (10.10 if you will)
[15:42] <Alex> afk
[15:43] <DasEi> alex: what does htop show ?
[15:43] <electron8000> hello
[15:43] <Alex> afk
[15:43] <Alex> sorry
[15:43] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: is it clearer now ?
[15:44] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: Ok so I want to use grub from my ubuntu installed on sda5 partition so all I have to do is start the installation process and install new ubuntu on sda5?
[15:44] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: yes
[15:44] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: And format a partition to delete unwanted ubuntu..
[15:45] <DannyButterman> bhaveshnande: yes
[15:45] <DasEi> bhaveshnande: yes, and can also choose no new grub and add the new install manually to the existing grub
[15:45] <bhaveshnande> DannyButterman: ok ty :D
[15:45] <DasEi> bhaveshnande: or interchange grub1 and 2 as you  like
[15:45] <bhaveshnande> DasEi: "and can also choose no new grub" ?
[15:46] <piyushmishra> postgresql shows installed but pgsql command doesn't work
[15:46] <DasEi> bhaveshnande: at the end of an install, can proceed with no grub installation, yes
[15:46] <bhaveshnande> DasEi: ok got it ty :D
[15:46] <mtt> anyone: after moving old data to make space for the new partition (5 hrs from now), will it need other operations as long as this?
[15:46] <DasEi> bhaveshnande: so if there is  one, can add the install manually, too
[15:46] <mtt> i'd like to use ubuntu this evening... :(
[15:47] <Pici> mtt: The harddrive resizing process is longest operation.
[15:47] <SF|008> Trying to boot Ubuntu 10.04.1 x64 on my laptop via USB drive.
[15:47] <DannyButterman> Now someone for my screensaver problem ?
[15:48] <mtt> ok, thanks pici.
[15:48] <DasEi> DannyButterman: repeat your question ?
[15:48] <under> Hello everyone. I have a problem: I read with difficulty the characters on the screen which does not happen on windows. how can I fix? thanks.
[15:48] <SF|008> It dumps me to a shell and tells me it can't find a live file system.
[15:49] <DannyButterman> DasEi: The problem is that *sometimes* I can't exit the screensaver. I may hit ctrl Alt and F1 for a text mode shell but that's all. Then if I go back to F7 I can exit the screensaver
[15:50] <DannyButterman> DasEi:Very annoying
[15:50] <___jryda_> how to run svn...hmmm
[15:51] <DasEi> DannyButterman: so your pc freezes while the saver is up, first idea disable saver, secondly check  files :
[15:51] <DasEi> DannyButterman: /var/log/syslog  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:51] <DannyButterman> DasEi: No it doesn't freeze, the screensaver is alive, the 3D animation is running. I just can't exit it the usual way.
[15:52] <DasEi> DannyButterman: is it set to ask for pass ?
[15:52] <rusivi> under: Please be more specific. For example, are the characters are too small? The font is off makes an "L" look like a "1"?
[15:53] <DannyButterman> DasEI: not even. it should exit straight
[15:53] <Krishnandu> jrib, Can't this batch conversion be done from GUI?? I guess no GUI is installed with imagemagick
[15:53] <nishttal2> how do I completely remove firefox with all its plugins and reinstall
[15:54] <nishttal2> the plugin container is killing my machine
[15:54] <DasEi> DannyButterman: do you know which particular saver you are using ? xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver...
[15:54] <SF|008> Gotta go, bbl
[15:54] <DannyButterman> nishttal2: can you access the package manager though ?
[15:55] <DannyButterman> DasEi: gnome-screensaver. And keyboard and mouse are wireless
[15:55] <cjensen> lspci finds my webcam, but I cant get it to be recognized by cheese or skype: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556192/
[15:55] <nishttal2> nishttal2, yes
[15:55] <DasEi> DannyButterman: aharr, that will be it, options in the enrgy/ahcpi management
[15:56] <Hilarie> Will installing ubuntu destroy my existing boot loader?
[15:56] <agentgasmask> Hi, How to launch "keyboard shortcuts" from commandline?
[15:56] <DannyButterman> DasEi: Isn't it strange that I can go text mode though ?
[15:56] <electron8000> i have a question concerning installation of libraries - i installed a library called zlib (compression) 1.2.5 and after this i am not able to compile the player project anymore (the library libplayertcp.so needs version 1.2.0 obviously and cant find one of the functions). so how could i get back to the old version?
[15:56] <nishttal2> DannyButterman, yes i can
[15:56] <saheb> irc.freenode.net/#osmocom
[15:56] <DasEi> DannyButterman: yes it is, maybe wrong thought
[15:57] <DannyButterman> nishtall2: then look for firefox there and ask for it to be removed completely (right click on these elements)
[15:57] <IdleOne> agentgasmask: run: gnome-keybinding-properties
[15:57] <nishttal2> DannyButterman, would that break anything in Gnome
[15:57] <bullgard4> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_%28media_player%29: "Separate library locations for music, videos and podcasts." What are the pathes of these 3 library locations in Banshee 1.8.0?
[15:57] <agentgasmask> IdleOne: Thanks! :)
[15:58] <giles> is there any way I can make the resize window areas bigger?
[15:58] <DannyButterman> nishttal2: as far as I can tell, no. Anyway it will ask you for all dependancies, no worries
[15:58] <giles> it seems to be about 1 pixel currently
[15:58] <irishman2020> lspci finds my webcam, but I cant get it to be recognized by cheese or skype: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556192/ any ideas?
[15:59] <agentgasmask> IdleOne: Ooops, I ment "system - pref - keyboard"
[15:59] <DannyButterman> DasEi: What options in BIOS ACPI should I look for ?
[15:59] <IdleOne> agentgasmask: gnome-keyboard-properties
[15:59] <DasEi> DannyButterman: strange least , wireless will  be usb, other actions work though, so it isn't something in that direction then
[16:00] <agentgasmask> IdleOne: Sweet. Thanks alot! :)
[16:00] <electron8000> any idea?
[16:00] <Hilarie> I can't create backup disks for my laptop system restore (HP wont let me make disks) and I wanted to install ubuntu, will allowing the bootloader to install onto my primary(only HDD) kill the system restore stuff? I.E. not let me access the windows recovery partition
[16:00] <DannyButterman> DasEi: And I should not be the only one in this case... :/
[16:01] <nishttal2> DannyButterman, did that and reinstalled.. it retained all my settings and plugin-container is still killing me
[16:01] <giles> question number 2, how the hell do I get a standard path  view in nautilus?
[16:01] <DasEi> DannyButterman: I have no certain clue, run gmome-screensaver from commandline to see possible output.. a cron job for re-loading usb, no real clue but disable it, sorry
[16:01] <DaGeek247> Hilarie: it shouldnt. Ubuntu detects all operating systems and adds them to the boot mn when its installd.
[16:02] <Hilarie> @dageek247 thank you
[16:02] <DannyButterman> nishttal2: are you *sure* you did a full removal, I mean not the usual one, but the full uninstall option you see when you right click
[16:03] <nishttal2> DannyButterman, yes.. mark for complete removal
[16:03] <UrKo> привет
[16:03] <UrKo> всем
[16:03] <FloodBot2> UrKo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:03] <Hilarie> Is it possible to install ubuntu w/o a boot loader so I could use a utility in vista to add it to the existing boot loader?
[16:04] <Hilarie> (to be on the safe side)
[16:04] <DasEi> DannyButterman: maybe try another screensaver just, (xscreensaver, ktux.. and others)
[16:04] <Naia> v10.04 server, 64bit. Failed on installation of kxsldbg-0.4. Was installing it as part of a web development application. Error at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556198/
[16:04] <DannyButterman> nishttal2: I'm sure it would remove your profile but it doesn't seem to. do that uninstall process once again, and then remove your .mozilla folder (hidden one) in your home directory
[16:05] <DaGeek247> Hilarie: i belieeve ubuntu gives you the option of not putting its bootloader in yes.
[16:05] <irishman2020> is there a better location to ask about webcam issues (uvc etc)
[16:05] <takamarou> Hi all, I'm trying to setup a key-based SSH login between a ubuntu desktop 10.04 and ubuntu server 10.04.  I had it working, and then decided I wanted to change my password, so i deleted the id_dsa (and .pub) from my local computer, and removed authorized_keys from the remote computer...  Now after trying to reconfigure the keys I am no longer getting prompted for my public key password
[16:05] <DannyButterman> DasEi:I will. Thanks anyway for your help/

[16:18] <ayecee> undecim: or magic, yeah.
[16:18] <kilinkis> una consulta
[16:18] <undecim> Well is the kernel at least smart about swapping? Will it try to swap the least-used bits of ram?
[16:18] <ayecee> undecim: yes
[16:18] <kilinkis> sorry, a have a q
[16:18] <DaGeek247> is there a app for system management?

[16:21] <maco> Hilarie: by the time someone breaks into your house you're already pwned anyway?
[16:21] <Hilarie> True!
[16:21] <ayecee> kilinkis: free cds are available to individuals. companies would order cds from the online shop: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17
[16:22] <ayecee> kilinkis: companies could also download ubuntu and prepare their own cds.
[16:22] <Hilarie> Is there a way to make it so my wireless thingy on my laptop doesn't flash with network activity
[16:22] <DaGeek247> kilinkis: i would suggest a network install instead.
[16:22] <undecim> kilinkis: It's probably most cost-effective to burn your own
[16:23] <ayecee> DaGeek247: I imagine he's thinking of professionally printed CDs.
[16:23] <DJones> kilinkis: You could try https://shipit.ubuntu.com/specialrequest You may be able to request multiple cd's
[16:23] <ayecee> DaGeek247: like, the kind you'd want to hand out to customers.
[16:23] <DaGeek247> ok
[16:24] <YANAwiro> i wen a CD...

[16:24] <Pici> !shipit | YANAwiro
[16:24] <ayecee> not bad, a pack of 100 ubuntu 10.10 cds for 80 euro
[16:24] <DaGeek247> Hilarie: try right-clicking on it and deselecting the notifications.
[16:24] <maco> Hilarie: the little light? opaque tape?
[16:24] <Hilarie> Referring to the actual hardware
[16:25] <Hilarie> It never flashes on vista, it was set up to allow me to toggle the wifi on/off as the laptop has no hard switch for it

[16:29] <hivez`> right thats spam! ban him!
[16:29] <maco> tomatto_: ooooh i thought you meant you wanted to get a certain app, but in qt instead of its normal toolkit haha... um, you can check the kubuntu PPAs for other versions of Qt if theyve been backported but other than that, compile
[16:30] <irishman2020> Unable to get webcam to work. lspci finds my webcam, but I cant get it to be recognized by cheese or skype: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556192/ any ideas?
[16:30] <tomatto_> do you have qt version 4.7 on x86_64 ubuntu?
[16:30] <maco> ibrahim: i havent installed eclipse in years, and at the time i used the one in the repos, which i know is now something like 2 years out of date
[16:30] <purpz> Can someone take a look at my issue fully detailed here: http://pastebin.com/nhdPHLy5
[16:30] <ibrahim> ok.. maco.
[16:30] <undecim> purpz: You would get a better response if you included a short synopsis in the chat
[16:31] <nightwalker> hallo guys :D
[16:31] <undecim> purpz: (btw, I'm taking a look myself... My network is slow today though :P)
[16:31] <maco> tomatto_: yes
[16:31] <purpz> Can someone take a look at my issue fully detailed here: http://pastebin.com/nhdPHLy5 -- I am having an issue relating to permissions
[16:31] <tomatto_> maco: how?
[16:31] <kuuki> what is the command for open a cd-rom drive and close the cd-rom drive.
[16:31] <maco> tomatto_: version 10.10 has it in the main repository
[16:31] <llutz> kuuki: eject (-t)
[16:32] <tomatto_> maco: and version 10.04?
[16:32]  * nightwalker h
[16:32] <maco> tomatto_: probably 4.6
[16:32] <tomatto_> yes 4.6 is main, but i need 4.7
[16:32] <maco> tomatto_: then either use 10.10 or use the kubuntu backports
[16:33] <kuuki> llutz:
[16:33] <tomatto_> maco: how i get from 10.04 to 10.10? apt-get dist-update?
[16:33] <undecim> purpz: I think you need to run "sudo chown -R root:root /usr/share/eggdrop/scripts
[16:33] <maco> tomatto_: sudo do-release-upgrade
[16:33] <undecim> purpz: That will fix the chmod you did.
[16:34] <kuuki> llutz:for opening eject command is working but closing eject -t command shows input put output errors
[16:34] <pickled_> anyone know how to mount a virtual floppy as read/write?
[16:34] <pickled_> i can only seem to get read access
[16:34] <pickled_> and sudo chown wont allow me to set the permissions
[16:34] <undecim> pickled: Have you included rw in the options?
[16:35] <pickled_> yes i did...
[16:35] <purpz> undecim: Can you just please repeat that...
[16:35] <maco> tomatto_: if it doesnt find a new release, change the setting in kpackagekit for whether it should show all new releases or just new LTS releases
[16:35] <undecim> purpz: I think you need to run "sudo chown -R root:root /usr/share/eggdrop/scripts"
[16:35] <pickled_> udo mount -o rw /dev/loop0 /media/floppy
[16:35] <purpz>  purpz: I think you need to run "sudo chown -R root:root /usr/share/eggdrop/scripts"
[16:35] <pickled_> -s
[16:35] <purpz>  purpz: I think you need to run "sudo chown -R root:root /usr/share/eggdrop/scripts"
[16:35] <Pici> purpz: stoop
[16:35] <tomatto_> maco: No new release found gave me back
[16:35] <purpz>  purpz: I think you need to run "sudo chown -R root:root /usr/share/eggdrop/scripts"
[16:35] <Garzooka> greetings
[16:35] <Pici> purpz: Please stop that.
[16:35] <vectoroc> guys, why my ubuntu tries to open places from start menu in gedit ? how do I stop it ?
[16:35] <purpz> Ack so sorry.
[16:36] <purpz> I didn't realize.
[16:36] <xtc> Hi
[16:36] <irishman2020> irishman
[16:36] <undecim> Pici: I think he's having technical difficulties? maybe he's not used to irssi
[16:36] <xtc> I'm XTC  from HUngary
[16:36] <purpz> undecim: Yep...
[16:36] <irishman2020> Is there a better place to ask my questions about webcams/uvc? no one has answered my questions.
[16:37] <ayecee> irishman2020: your question doesn't have an easy answer.
[16:37] <undecim> pickled: Any reason you're not just using "sudo mount -o loop,rw /path/to/image /path/to/mount/point"?
[16:37] <Naia> irishman2020: Patience is key. With 1500+ people in here, not every question gets answered right away. :) I've been nearly 45 mins.
[16:37] <tomatto_> maku: i have no kde, but gnome on ubuntu
[16:37] <irishman2020> Naia: Understood, I've been searching for a while.  If there is a better channel, I'd love it
[16:38] <Pici> Naia: You may want to try #ubuntu-server as well, perhaps someone there has seen that.
[16:38] <undecim> irishman2020: You'll probably get better response from the forums
[16:38] <ayecee> irishman2020: what error do you get from cheese?
[16:38] <llutz> kuuki: maybe your drive doesn't have the "close tray" command implemented. idk
[16:38] <Naia> Pici: Will do.
[16:38] <irishman2020> Ayecee: it says no device found
[16:38] <Garzooka> did i say something
[16:38] <IdleOne> purpz: have you tried asking in #eggdrop about your bot issue?
[16:39] <maxsx> i use a pppoe connection with ubuntu 10.10 and get a 2 times higher (30-50ms) latency then a windows xp pc (13-15 ms) in a LAN environment. Can i fix it somehow
[16:39] <ayecee> irishman2020: I see a usb disconnect in your paste. Is that when you disconnected the camera yourself, or is it still plugged in?
[16:39] <purpz> IdleOne: I hadn't...I presumed it was a permissions problem
[16:40] <irishman2020> Ayecee: its builtin.  I noticed that, but I wasnt sure how to correct it
[16:40] <IdleOne> purpz: looks like a permissions problem but i am wondering why those two .tcl files went missing. #eggdrop probably can help explain it
[16:40] <kuuki> llutz: to close cd-rom using terminal what can we do?
[16:41] <ayecee> irishman2020: that's bad news then. It's likely that the uvcvideo driver doesn't play well with your camera, and there's no easy way to fix that, I think..
[16:41] <BajK_> is there a BlueDevil ppa? Since BLueDevil 1.0 is a bit buggy and I cant find 1.0.2
[16:41] <pickled_> undecim: i tried that but it's still not giving me write access :(
[16:42] <purpz> IdleOne: If I can get it back to where that's happening I can ask there...:)
[16:42] <pickled_> chown: changing ownership of `/media/floppy': Read-only file system
[16:42] <irishman2020> ayecee: thats understandable.  is there a place to look at for hardware compatibility or to report it?
[16:42] <mh22mk> Hi! i got one question if i may, what is the diffrence between files in /dev and the other files on the hdd?
[16:42] <ibrahim> ayecee, can i pvt?
[16:42] <undecim> pickled: I assume it's a Fat FS on the floppy/
[16:42] <ayecee> ibrahim: I don't pvt, sorry
[16:42] <pickled_> fat12 yes
[16:42] <sergio_> hi
[16:42] <llutz> kuuki: what drive is it? manuf/type?
[16:42] <IdleOne> purpz: then in that case undoing the chown should get you back to the previous error
[16:42] <tomatto_> maco: i have no kde, but gnome on ubuntu
[16:43] <ayecee> irishman2020: I don't know. myself, I'd google the usb id to see if it had been reported somewhere.
[16:43] <pickled_> undecim: fat12 format yes
[16:43] <irishman2020> ayecee: thank you.
[16:44] <cache_surplus> yo
[16:44] <irishman2020> ayecee: would that be "5986:0241"?
[16:44] <ayecee> irishman2020: that looks like it
[16:44] <undecim> pickett: 1 sec... let me give this a try myself.
[16:44] <undecim> pickett: oops, sorry, bad tab completion....
[16:45] <undecim> pickled:  1 sec... let me give this a try myself.
[16:45] <mh22mk> Hi! i got one question if i may, what is the diffrence between files in /dev and the other files on the hdd?
[16:45] <undecim> mh22mk: Files in /dev/ represent devices on the system
[16:45] <Pici> mh22mk: The 'files' in /dev are actually kernel interfaces to the devices themselves.
[16:45] <undecim> mh22mk: For example, /dev/sda represents the first harddrive.
[16:45] <kuuki> llutz: how to know it?
[16:45] <jbrannan> hey guys, is there a fix for the glitch with global-menu and monodevelop?
[16:46] <llutz> kuuki: "wodim -scanbus"
[16:46] <mh22mk> undecim: Pici ok ty
[16:46] <purpz> IdleOne: undecim I ran 'sudo chown -R root:root eggdrop' from /usr/share and I now getting "./eggdrop: is a directory" when I run './eggdrop;
[16:46] <sidd_mak> mtt: done with shrinking ??
[16:46] <amit> ubuntu volume control icon is missing? how to restore it
[16:47] <undecim> pickled: What are the permissions on the mount point?
[16:47] <IdleOne> purpz: well you don't want eggdrop owned by root
[16:47] <purpz> IdleOne: Nope, i don't...
[16:47] <IdleOne> so change it back to your user
[16:48] <kuuki> llutz:rw 7580s FX04 removable cd-rom
[16:48] <purpz> IdleOne: K, so I ran 'sudo chown -R username:username eggdrop'
[16:48] <undecim> pickled: It should be owned by root... Are you trying to access the virtual disk as root or a normal user?
[16:48] <amit> volume control icon is missing from pannel?how to get it back?
[16:48] <mtt> sidd_mak... i have to wait just other 4 hrs for moving files (i'm stuck in step 1 out of 4)
[16:48] <mtt> "just" is sarcastic...
[16:48] <trism> amit: right click the panel, add to panel, select the Indicator Applet
[16:49] <pickled_> undecim: it's currently owned as root:root, but even as root i cannot write to it :(
[16:49] <IdleOne> purpz: now ./eggdrop
[16:49] <sidd_mak> mtt: ??
[16:49] <purpz> IdleOne: ./eggdrop is a directory
[16:49] <mtt> others say it's normal...
[16:49] <Hilarie> Yay, it worked great!
[16:49] <pickled_> the only way i can seem to write anything to it is by using gksudo nautilus, but that sort of sucks for my makefile script
[16:49] <amit> trism:thanx
[16:49] <llutz> kuuki: by optiarc (Sony/Nec)? maybe try to flash a newer firmware the get it work.
[16:49] <Hilarie> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLaptopPowerFeatures I don't see on that how I can enable this
[16:50] <undecim> pickled: what happens if you cd to the mount point and run "sudo touch test"?
[16:50] <IdleOne> purpz: you have run the bot before right? I don't remember the command to start the bot. something -m botname.conf I think
[16:50] <pickled_> undecim: i shall try that...
[16:50] <undecim> pickled: assuming there is no file named "test" there already
[16:50] <purpz> IdleOne: Yes, it was working before I started tinkering with this
[16:51] <kuuki> llutz:i didn't understand?
[16:51] <amit> how to move volume icon to right or left in the pannel
[16:51] <amit> amit: oh sorry wrong question
[16:51] <llutz> kuuki: is that a notebook-drive?
[16:51] <pickled_> undecim: ok that wrote a "test" file in there
[16:51] <mtt> sidd_mak i think it's impossible to stop these operations without problem, right?
[16:52] <kuuki> llutz:yes
[16:52] <undecim> pickled: what about "echo testing | sudo tee test"
[16:52] <llutz> kuuki: aaaah, those drives cannot use "eject -t". they have to be closed manualla
[16:52] <sidd_mak> mtt : what r u doing right now
[16:52] <llutz> manually
[16:52] <undecim> pickled: And then, if that succeeds, "cat test"
[16:52] <sidd_mak> mtt : installing ubuntu
[16:52] <IdleOne> purpz: it has been so long since I ran eggdrop, I really think you would be better off asking in #eggdrop and hope you get a sympathetic user to help you even though they might say it isn't their problem.
[16:52] <sidd_mak> mtt : or backing up files
[16:52] <purpz> IdleOne: Ok, will shoot over there and see, thanks for your time.

[16:53] <pickled_> wrote the info
[16:53] <undecim> pickled: Okay, we seem to be able to write to it as root just fine.
[16:53] <irishman2020> ayecee: hey, I found a possible solution, do you think this applies? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=375739, it says to remove the kernel module ehci_hd
[16:53] <undecim> pickled: You would like to be able to write as a normal user?
[16:53] <mtt> no, i'm still on gparted. it's moving files. now it's copying 388 gb using blocks of 8 mb
[16:53] <undecim> pickled: Just a specific user, or any user?
[16:53] <pickled_> undecim: yes that would rock
[16:53] <kuuki> llutz:thanku
[16:53] <pickled_> as pickled
[16:53] <neyder> i have 2 card with 4 seats, 2 seats on each card
[16:54] <sidd_mak> mtt : 388 gb is too big

[16:54] <neyder> but only one seat displays at time on any card
[16:54] <neyder> i have 2 card with 4 seats, 2 seats on each card	
[16:54] <neyder> but only one seat displays at time on any card	
[16:54] <pickled_> undecim: as user pickled
[16:54] <mtt> i know, but i've done what you said...
[16:55] <kuuki> what is the command for safely remove pendrive?
[16:55] <sidd_mak> mtt : interruption may corrupt windows
[16:55] <mtt> sidd_mak ok, i'll have to wait
[16:55] <undecim> pickled_: then mount with this command: sudo mount -o rw,loop,uid=pickled /path/to/disk/image /path/to/mount/point
[16:55] <ayecee> irishman2020: who knows, might work. That would also mean no high speed usb.
[16:56] <cal_> where do I add this so I don't have to run it after every reboot.. rc.local? --> modprobe lirc-serial
[16:56] <irishman2020> ayecee: I'll test it and see if that works.  would I need to reboot to receive results?
[16:56] <pickled_> undecim: thanks a lote mate, i'll give that a whirl
[16:56] <mtt> but after this operation, will there be other steps as long as this?? i'll have to sleep...
[16:56] <irishman2020> kuuki: http://www.basicconfig.com/linux/mount
[16:56] <ayecee> irishman2020: don't know.
[16:57] <irishman2020> ayecee: thanks, gonna give it a go.  I think I'll probably have to reboot... well, whats the command to check for new usb devices?
[16:57] <Hilarie> I need to reduce the speed at which my processor operates due to heat issues, where would I start?
[16:57] <Guest68313> j

[16:59] <ayecee> irishman2020: ouch.
[16:59] <bencahill> daedaluz: not this one, but this happens with verified cds also, it's the laptop, weird hardware or something...
[16:59] <bencahill> daedaluz: this any clue? "udevd[81]: worker [223] unexpectedly returned with status 0x100"

[17:00] <mtt> sidd_mak, how long will it take to complete? consider that after this operation there's another operation called "move sda2 to the right", then there'll be the deletion of the previous partition (hp_tools) then it'll create my extended partition...

[17:04] <sandmann> someone else maybe too, with a solution?
[17:04] <undecim> tf87: At what point does it fail?
[17:05] <ayecee> sandmann: would usually depend on the model of the laptop
[17:05] <sandmann> ibm x61
[17:05] <undecim> tf87: And by start, you mean the boot process, correct? Not using a sudo command?
[17:05] <irishman2020> amit: have you tried downloading another sound theme? (http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=25)

[17:07] <sidd_mak> mtt : 23 done with engineering
[17:07] <ayecee> sandmann: when you say it doesn't charge, do you mean that it doesn't run on battery, or runs for a very short time?
[17:07] <Guest85591> Hi. What do I need to change so the usb devices will be auto mounted in rw?
[17:07] <sandmann> ayecee: ubuntu says at every start, that the battery may be broken or old because it has only 30 % capacity left
[17:08] <undecim> pickled_: Can you test those commands we did before? "sudo touch test", etc?
[17:08] <ne2k> akos: it is common for on-board SD drivers not to be supported by linux
[17:08] <ne2k> akos: SD drives, that is
[17:08] <ne2k> akos: can you find the device ID under lspci or lsusb? then search google for it
[17:08] <akos> ne2k, erm... this is a card reader
[17:08] <ayecee> sandmann: that usually happens when the battery is old. how old is it?
[17:08] <ne2k> akos: is it onboard?
[17:09] <sandmann> ayecee: two and a half years
[17:09] <akos> ne2k, yeah
[17:09] <d2db> grep it
[17:09] <ne2k> akos: well, then what I said stands
[17:09] <ayecee> sandmann: okay, so you're asking how to get it to charge past 30%?

[17:10] <Yugnoswam> Hello, I am trying to boot windows XP or Windows 7 from USB stick via unetbootin. Could somebody show me how to put the OS Iso's onto the usb stick?
[17:10] <pickled_> undecim: sudo touch /media/floppy/test
[17:10] <pickled_> touch: cannot touch `/media/floppy/test': Read-only file system
[17:10] <ne2k> Yugnoswam: off topic
[17:11] <akos> ne2k, http://pastebin.com/cuhc6Rs9
[17:11] <Yugnoswam> ne2k: I am on ubuntu.
[17:11] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: but its not ubuntu issue
[17:11] <Yugnoswam> ne2k: and it is an ubuntu program. gobbe
[17:11] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: you are trying to put windows on usb-stick and it's windows-issue how to do it
[17:11] <undecim> pickled_: Anything interesting in dmesg?
[17:12] <Yugnoswam> gobbe: it is ubuntu software that I do no understand. The iso's type does not matter.
[17:12] <ne2k> akos: does it work if you boot with a card in?
[17:12] <ne2k> akos: found this: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10294663
[17:12] <ayecee> sandmann: I don't understand what you mean when you say it doesn't charge. Does it remain at 0%?
[17:13] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: just follow instructions of unetbootin, add iso and copy it
[17:13] <akos> yeah i read that, didn't try it yet
[17:13] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: however it wont work and it's not ubuntu issue
[17:13] <pickled_> undecim: [ 1204.283854] FAT: Filesystem error (dev loop0)

[17:13] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: you can do it with dd also
[17:13] <pickled_> undecim: ouch, i guess thats not good:P
[17:13] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: dd if=/path/to/iso.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1m
[17:13] <undecim> pickled: There's the problem.
[17:13] <akos> ne2k, ok, i'll try it now...
[17:13] <ne2k> akos: also while you're rebooting check in bios that it's enabled
[17:13] <undecim> pickled_: there's the problem
[17:13] <Yugnoswam> gobbe: I have tried it twice already and it did not work, I would boot from removable and then it would go to the unetbootin screen to choose which file to boot from but would not let me choose the file or even boot ubuntu.
[17:14] <akos> ne2k, okay
[17:14] <undecim> pickled_: I think you need to rebuild the image.
[17:14] <Yugnoswam> gobbe: it is ubuntu software so is an ubuntu issue.
[17:14] <pickled_> undecim: thanks a lot for help, i'll do that
[17:14] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: well, it's not. If the software gives you error it is, however if you cannot get your windows working from stick it's windows-issue
[17:14] <undecim> pickled_: You know all of what to do? It's not difficult.
[17:15] <IdleOne> Yugnoswam: Windows does not offer iso to boot from usb. the issue is not an Ubuntu issue it is a legality issue. Please stop asking for help with booting Windows from USB. try ##windows.
[17:15] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: and after you stick is created, if unetbootin is not working it's unetbootin-issue and you should ask it from guys created that
[17:15] <ayecee> Yugnoswam: it doesn't look like unetbootin can boot windows xp.
[17:15] <pickled_> undecim: i'll try to use linux mkfsdos thingie (i generated the bpb of that floppy myself so probably why it's a bit naffed)
[17:15] <Boatingbum23> Hello all, im having aproblem with my video quality, when i watch SD videos, the picture is jumpy and laggy, when i watch HD video, the picturelags horribly,
[17:15] <Boatingbum23> any way i can solve this without replacing my video card?
[17:16] <ayecee> Yugnoswam: that is, unetbootin can't make a bootable windows xp usb device.
[17:16] <anao> Yugnoswam try stick format fat first or vfat
[17:16] <undecim> pickled_: "dd if=/dev/zero of=/new/floppy/image bs=1k count =1440" will make a new blank image
[17:16] <Yugnoswam> Ubuntu software, ubuntu operating system, and the iso doesnt make a difference.
[17:16] <Yugnoswam> anao: formatted already
[17:16] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: well, like you told unetbooting cannot boot it, it's unet issue
[17:16] <IdleOne> Yugnoswam: I am not going to ask you again. Please drop this subject it is NOT supported in this channel.
[17:16] <anao> most older bios read only fat for installed ubuntu
[17:17] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: and even more its windows-issue more
[17:17] <d2db> boatman: what video players have you used?
[17:17] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: so just drop it
[17:17] <anao> take live cd ubuntu to create the stick
[17:17] <IdleOne> gobbe: please drop it
[17:17] <IdleOne> thank you :)
[17:17] <wizo> hey
[17:17] <Boatingbum23> movie player, vlc and youtube all do it
[17:17] <gobbe> IdleOne: :)
[17:17] <anao> cause unetbootin often fails to create the mbr of the stick
[17:17] <Yugnoswam> gobbe: if it wasn't a windows iso i was trying to boot from then it would not be a windows issue, it would be ubuntu so why dont you stop being so closed minded and fuck off.
[17:17] <wizo> why does putting files in the server root have to be sudo
[17:17] <wizo> for apache2
[17:17] <akos> ne2k, it's working now, but isn't there a fix for this? so that i wouldn't need to reboot each time I change my SD card?
[17:18] <gobbe> it's nice to provide help
[17:18] <d2db> adn are they all the same
[17:18] <d2db> and
[17:18] <Boatingbum23> pretty much
[17:18] <pickled_> undecim: thanks, gonna have to format it as fat12 just mucking around with an emulator and read a fat12 fs
[17:18] <ne2k> akos: can you change card now and have it recognized?
[17:19] <ne2k> akos: did you not read the link I sent you?
[17:19] <rumpe1> fat12? o.O
[17:19] <akos> i've read it, but haven't found a fix for it there
[17:19] <ne2k> akos: add "pciehp.pciehp_force=1" to your kernel arguments.

[17:21] <birrbert> hi folks. how are you? I would like some help in fixing my PC running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. for some reason GRUB was installed on the flash drive where I installed the operating system from and the system won't boot without it. how can I fix this issue?
[17:21] <dandre> hello,
[17:21] <dandre> is there a black-port of 2.6.37 kernel for maverick?
[17:21] <ne2k> dandre: lol. I think you mean back-port ;-)
[17:22] <Barkhorn> Hi guys, i have a problem getting pcsx2 to work on ubuntu 10.04 64bit: http://pastebin.com/vZwyi8mJ  Something is amiss with the libraries. Anyone got an idea?
[17:22] <dandre> I haven one only for lucid
[17:22] <dandre> yes :-)
[17:22] <ne2k> birrbert: you need to boot linux somehow, then you can fix it from there. a livedisk or install disk ought to do the trick
[17:22] <akos> ne2k, okay, i'll try that, thanks
[17:22] <akos> ne2k, need to edit grub.cfg, right?
[17:23] <d2db> boatman: do you know what video card you have and check the web for what it supports!!
[17:23] <ne2k> akos: no, edit /etc/default/grub, as it says in that article. then run update-grub. otherwise you'll have to do it manually every time there is a kernel update
[17:24] <ne2k> akos: this is the post I keep referring tohttp://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10300553&postcount=86
[17:24] <ne2k> akos: just the first bit of that
[17:24] <birrbert> ne2k: I booted Ubuntu 'cause if I plug in the flash drive, it boots. I don't have opportunity to use an optical drive. I have to fix this issue using the flash drive. any ideas?
[17:25] <IdleOne> Barkhorn: install libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0
[17:25] <ne2k> birrbert: grub-install <device>
[17:25] <akos> ne2k, okay, thanks for your help
[17:26] <akos> спасибо
[17:26] <IdleOne> Barkhorn: actually just the -dev package should be good
[17:27] <ne2k> akos: Lech Walȩsa!
[17:27] <Barkhorn> thanks IdleOne, that did something: "error while loading shared libraries: libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"
[17:27] <aioobe_> is there a daemon that handles "automounting" of USB-drives in Gnome? Or is it like part of the core WM?
[17:28] <IdleOne> Barkhorn: got me now.
[17:28] <akos> ne2k, you polish?
[17:28] <ne2k> akos: no, I'm british
[17:28] <akos> ah, okay, sorry then, just saw you writing in russian, so I thought... ehh.. whatever :) take care
[17:29] <ldf> 035
[17:30] <shcherbak> ne2k: Why British would keep polish font?
[17:30] <ne2k> shcherbak: it's a unicode font. eh? what?!

[17:32] <gharz> anyone? http://paste.ubuntu.com/556230/
[17:32] <aioobe_> d2db: reason I'm asking is that I've changed window-manager (to Awesome WM) but I still want the automount-functionality...
[17:32] <aioobe_> d2db: Any ideas for me?
[17:33] <coz_> gharz,  not sure... I would wait  for a bit and try again   actually   try  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:33] <gharz> coz_: ok. i'm already using the latest distribution
[17:33] <coz_> gharz,  dist-upgrade doesnt upgrade to the latest release it just updates the current install completely

[17:43] <coz_> tomatto_,  the next release in april is  11.04

[17:43] <Pici> tomatto_: Ubuntu releases are named for the year and month they are released.
[17:43] <aioobe_> shcherbak: thanks! Still though, starting that doesn't seem automount USB-drives, and that's what gnome-volume-manager was for if I understand it correctly..
[17:44] <tomatto_> Pici: thx for info

[17:47] <coz_> grullers,   ok try    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:48] <coz_> shawnboy,  i agree
[17:48] <grullers> coz_, then it says you first have to do a dpkg-reconfigure -a
[17:48] <grullers> and then the error comes again

[17:57] <VCoolio> brijithmac: import screenshot.png or .jpg or whatever you like
[17:57] <wildc4rd> evening all
[17:58] <coz_> brijithmac,   maybe   gnome-screenshot -d 5      or look at   man gnome-screenshot
[17:59] <brijithmac> coz_: but i don't want a gui
[17:59] <aeon-ltd> brijithmac: scrot
[18:00] <maco> multiplatinum:  ati and nvidia drop support for older graphics cards every now and then. if yours was one of them, it may be a release or two before it gets full functionality back through a generic driver.  intel doesnt do this with their graphics, but there have been race conditions for them... whether your stuff will work with a new release kinda depends a lot on whether someone with the same hardware was active in testing and following up with developers
[18:00] <maco>  on issues during development time
[18:00] <ner0x> Most common java runtime used on ubuntu? Package name please.
[18:00] <maco> multiplatinum: the intel race condition im thinking of was in 10.04... sometimes you needed to reboot once or twice to get it to reach the login screen :-/
[18:00] <VCoolio> brijithmac: import will change cursor to grab area to screenshoot; import -window root file.png will create screenshot of complete screen
[18:00] <[bean]> grullers: seems the error you are getting is a known bug in debconf package
[18:01] <multiplatinum> maco,  ok, i'll do a clean install then, but then the option to upgrade to a newer release shouldn't be available if it's so risky
[18:01] <maco> multiplatinum: um...its not that upgrade is more risky than new install really
[18:01] <grullers> [bean], yes but is this bug fixed yet? and how do i fix my problem?
[18:01] <maco> multiplatinum: its that new releases *period* are only as good as the testing that was done
[18:01] <multiplatinum> maco,  oh, then i'll do an upgrade
[18:02] <maco> multiplatinum: play with a live cd first to check it out if you want to be safe
[18:02] <gsp2009> hello folks. I am running 10.10, and after a recent upgrade I can no longer browse my local network. Nautilus simply fails. Anyone else have this issue?
[18:02] <multiplatinum> ok maco
[18:02] <maco> multiplatinum: and you are very welcome to play with development live cds to help ensure your hardware will work right with 11.04!
[18:02] <multiplatinum> great idea maco
[18:02] <grullers> gsp2009, samba network?
[18:03] <gsp2009> grullers: yes.
[18:03] <grullers> gsp2009, did you try this: crtrl+L in nautilus, smb://ip.of.smb.server ?
[18:03] <[bean]> grullers: it doesnt seem to be fixed officially but there is a patch fix for it on launchpad
[18:03] <gsp2009> grullers: will try now
[18:04] <LtHummus> is there a way to use apt-get to list the changelogs of an updatable package?
[18:04] <grullers> [bean], how do i install this fix?
[18:04] <[bean]> grullers: maybe someone else can help you with that. all i know is that it is a bug and cant really be fixed without the fix thats on launchpad at the moment
[18:05] <gsp2009> grullers: nautilus crashes when I try a direct connection
[18:05] <[bean]> if you google your error you will find the thread talking about dpkg-reconfigure -a and debconf and cron and the patch
[18:05] <grullers> [bean], ok i'll try

[18:10] <unimaxlin> pulseaudio[1984]: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
[18:10] <guitar-maniac> And usb creator is the only one i know how to do a persistent style stick
[18:10] <unimaxlin> pulseaudio[1984]: main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock
[18:10] <unimaxlin> load is increasing rapidly
[18:11] <[bean]> did you format the stick before hand?
[18:11] <Narcissus> Hey ubuntu people, can someone tell me a way or toss me a guide to a way to install Unity for Ubuntu, but not Ubuntu Netbook Remix please
[18:12] <[bean]> if its one of those usbs with that built in compression software it might pose a problem
[18:12] <gpled> Using 10.10.  Notice ssh connections are slow to connect.  Is their a way to quicken the connect time?
[18:12] <Narcissus> gpled: what's your ping time to the box you're trying to connect to?
[18:13] <undecim> Narcissus: Just add the unity PPA and install it with your favorite package management app
[18:14] <undecim> Narcissus: Actually, I don't think you need a PPA anymore...
[18:14] <gpled> Narcissus: it is on my LAN.  average .139
[18:14] <rumpe1> gpled, yes... stopping other downloads e.g.
[18:15] <undecim> Narcissus: Yeah... just "sudo apt-get install unity"
[18:15] <gpled> rumpe1: no other downloads
[18:15] <rumpe1> gpled, 0.139 secs?
[18:15] <undecim> gpled: Run ssh with -vv and see what part it's slow on
[18:15] <tabasko> undecim, no additional configuring needed?
[18:15] <undecim> tabasko: AFAIK
[18:15] <Narcissus> undecim: seriously? that's easier than I was expecting
[18:17] <rafael> ola
[18:17] <rafael> boa tarde a todos!
[18:17] <gpled> undecim: thanks.   looks like its trying different authentication mettods
[18:18] <rafael> estou com um problema em meu ubuntu, acho q é a questão de links
[18:18] <rafael> no menu locais quando clico em documentos por exemplo, aparece uma mensagem de arquivo não encontrado
[18:18] <gobbe> !en | rafael
[18:19] <rafael> hi
[18:19] <gobbe> hi
[18:19] <rigved> !br | rafael
[18:19] <rafael> I'm in trouble on the menu of my local ubuntu
[18:20] <rafael> #ubuntu-br
[18:20] <gpled> undecim: is their a way for the client to tell the server which method to start with?  notice putty is real quick when connecting from m$
[18:20] <rigved> rafael: ask away
[18:20] <grovitch> what s the prob rafael?
[18:20] <rafael> ola
[18:20] <undecim> gpled: Not sure...
[18:21] <undecim> gpled: What auth methods does it try, in which order?
[18:21] <rafael> when I click on documents for example, a message file not found
[18:21] <gpled> undecim: just about everything it can, before droping to password
[18:21] <Azendale> I'm trying to edit a post on ubuntuforums.org, but I can't get it to save, no matter what I do! Any suggestions?
[18:22] <rigved> rafael: are you able to open your Documents folder at all?
[18:22] <undecim> gpled: You can do like '-o "RSAAuthentication No"' to make it not use pubkey auth, etc.
[18:22] <grovitch> you mean you are trying to go to /home/someone/Documents ?
[18:22] <undecim> gpled: Put those in the config files to make them permanent
[18:22] <wolfpack> I am working under some HTTP proxy. When i try to branch through bazaar I get this error---"ssh: connect to host bazaar.launchpad.net port 22: Connection timed out bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist. "..Is there any way around to solve this??
[18:22] <taos> I jjust installed ubuntu and every time I boot its a blank screen
[18:22] <undecim> gpled: ~/.ssh/config for user-wide settings
[18:22] <gpled> undecim: i think this is slowing it down more then the auth methods.   Cannot determine realm for numeric host address
[18:23] <taos> I think its something to do with nvidiea drivers
[18:23] <rafael> through the computer link can usually access the folders, only the local menu that I can not
[18:23] <taos> but how can I install these from the boot drivers
[18:23] <taos> boot disk
[18:23] <taos> *
[18:23] <gpled> undecim: k, thanks for the -vv tip.  does debug1 mean client and 2 server?
[18:23] <KM0201> taos: install what from the boot disk?
[18:24] <undecim> gpled: A quick google says that adding a line for the server to /etc/hosts will speed it up
[18:24] <taos> Latest 64bit 10.10 build
[18:24] <undecim> gpled: e.g. "192.168.1.23 mysshserver", then you can connect with either the IP or "mysshserver" and it should be faster
[18:24] <rigved> wolfpack: ask in #launchpad
[18:24] <KM0201> taos: apt-get update && apt-get ugprade   ?
[18:25] <taos> KM0201:  Im on the bootdisk atm
[18:25] <taos> KM0201:  the actual os wont boot
[18:25] <gpled> undecim: smells like ssh is trying to resolve DNS names.   bet their is a way to turn that off
[18:25] <KM0201> taos: oh i see.. well what makes you think upgrading the installed OS is going to fix the problem?
[18:25] <grovitch> you mean in the file browser, you can access something like /home/rafael/Documents/foo but only from the computer link, not from the Documents link?
[18:25] <taos> KM0201:  I don't I just wanna know how to install nvidea drivers onto the os from my boot disk
[18:26] <rigved> taos: are you able to boot into recovery mode?
[18:26] <KM0201> taos: you can't
[18:26] <taos> ubuntu fails then
[18:26] <KM0201> taos: well, to my knowledge.. there's probably a way to do it
[18:26] <multiplatinum> i need help changing my computer's name, i entered this command: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts /etc/hostname, but idk what to do now, PM plz
[18:26] <KM0201> taos: if you say so... it does't sound like its ubuntu's problem though, all my nvidia stuff works fine
[18:26] <taos> multiplatinum:  reboot
[18:26] <KM0201> great actually
[18:26] <undecim> gpled: Not that I can find.
[18:26] <multiplatinum> taos i need to change things first...
[18:27] <gpled> undecim: found it on the sever side, but not client
[18:28] <gpled> undecim: UseDNS no
[18:28] <undecim> gpled: Have you tried adding the line to /etc/hosts?
[18:28] <mcb_1>  multiplatinum: Just edit the /etc/hostname, save it and restart.
[18:28] <[G]ohan> Can anyone tell me more about Ubuntu ?
[18:28] <rigved> taos: try to boot into recovery mode. press Shift just before the OS starts to load to get the grub menu
[18:28] <Michal31337> feels good..
[18:28] <undecim> [G]ohan: What would you like to know?
[18:28] <Michal31337> having gfx drivers installed
[18:28] <taos> I get grub anyway
[18:28] <gpled> undecim:  not yet. i connect by ip, and dont realy have dns on this lan yet
[18:28] <[G]ohan> Can we play Counter strike in Ubuntu ?
[18:28] <multiplatinum> mcb_1,  no i heard i need to change the other file too or else ill have issues with sudo commands
[18:28] <taos> [G]ohan:  try wine
[18:29] <[G]ohan> Sedega will work ?
[18:29] <r_a_f> [G]ohan: ubuntu is OS and play CS with Windows ;)
[18:29] <[G]ohan> Just asked
[18:29] <rigved> taos: so, then are you able to boot into recovery mode?
[18:29] <r_a_f> [G]ohan: yea its ok ;)
[18:29] <wang> go
[18:29] <taos> trying now
[18:29] <taos> brb
[18:29] <wang> lst
[18:29] <undecim> [G]ohan: Not sure. You'll have to ask them
[18:30] <Michal31337> so.... I have linux. now what?
[18:30] <Michal31337> learning python?
[18:30] <wang> kao
[18:30] <undecim> [G]ohan: Though a lot of people will install Ubuntu next to windows so that they choose Ubuntu or Windows when they turn the computer on, and use Windows for gaming, and Ubuntu for everything else
[18:31] <[G]ohan> My bootloader doesn't support any version of linux including Ubuntu...How do i install it ?
[18:32] <Guest93100> !ot
[18:33] <gpled> undecim:  ip hostname of server in /etc/hosts made it work
[18:33] <undecim> gpled: Nice.
[18:33] <rigved> [G]ohan: which computer do you have?
[18:33] <shcherbak> Michal31337: Python, that would be option.
[18:33] <[G]ohan> Toshiba laptop
[18:34] <Michal31337> yeah, im reading about it
[18:34] <undecim> [G]ohan: When you install Ubuntu, it installs the GrUB bootloader, which supports just about any OS you could want on your computer, including both Windows and Ubuntu
[18:34] <Michal31337> seems hard
[18:34] <takamarou> Hi all.  I've got a new ubuntu server 10.10 install going.  I'm adding users using 'groupadd -d <dir> -m <user>'.  For some reason, now when I log in as those users my bash .profile is not being loaded?  Anyone ever seen this before?
[18:34] <rigved> [G]ohan: did you try many linux OS's that you are saying that it doesn't support?
[18:34] <shcherbak> Michal31337: Why not bash, nice start, or perl?
[18:34] <[G]ohan> Yeah
[18:35] <[G]ohan> Open suse , mint , fedora
[18:35] <grovitch> hi there, anybody knowing how to scan with the Samsung CLX-3175 or CLX-3185 but not through usb?
[18:35] <[G]ohan> Most of them
[18:35] <rigved> [G]ohan: hmmm..so i am assuming you have windows pre-installed?
[18:35] <[G]ohan> Yes
[18:36] <Michal31337> shcherbak: i dont like bash but i think i'll get more info about perl
[18:36] <Michal31337> and see what happens
[18:36] <rigved> [G]ohan: there is a way to boot into ubuntu (or debian) in such cases...but the online guides are old and are meant for Grub...ubuntu now uses Grub2
[18:37] <stercor> When I log out the machine freezes and has to be powered down.  Fortunately sda1 is clean.
[18:37] <gordonjcp> rigved: just on that, there isn't likely to be a problem with blowing away grub2 and reinstalling grub is there?
[18:38] <gordonjcp> rigved: like, Ubuntu won't have a screaming fit if I switch back
[18:39] <rigved> gordonjcp: after making many changes, there will be no problem...it's easier to use grub2
[18:39] <gordonjcp> rigved: not really, grub2 doesn't really work on this machine
[18:39] <gordonjcp> grub works just great, grub2 not so much
[18:39] <eee1> can I upgrade 8.04LTS to 10.04 without impacting (loosing) data in user home directories?
[18:39] <WhitePelican> where do I go for questions about xfce?
[18:40] <gordonjcp> eee1: if you have set up a separate /home partition, yes
[18:40] <aeon-ltd> eee1: you shouldn't but config files may be deprecated
[18:40] <gordonjcp> WhitePelican: #xfce would be a good guess
[18:40] <greppy> eee1: I did it, there should be docs on the ubuntu website about what steps you need to take to do the upgrade.
[18:40] <gordonjcp> !root | Guest8565
[18:41] <gordonjcp> oops, wrong factoid, it's been a while...
[18:41] <undecim> screen ftw
[18:41] <undecim> wrong chat...
[18:42] <eee1> my install does not have /home on a separate partition. will continue looking on website.
[18:44] <mysho> hi, any ideas of what can be causing that unity installed to desktop version of ubuntu 10.10 is slow?
[18:45] <GHH> I am still getting error when executing Java application
[18:45] <serialized> what error are you getting?
[18:45] <GHH> serialized, 1 mini pastbin
[18:46] <almostblind>  just install xchat into ubuntu and i cant see ssl into the window  box(i mean i cant check it) but i'm sure that i have install openssl
[18:46] <almostblind> any ideas?
[18:46] <serialized> sorry? 1 mini pastbin?
[18:46] <Wolfsherz> almostblind: try #xchat.
[18:47] <almostblind> Wolfsherz yes just join there
[18:48] <GHH> serialized, Its working now
[18:48] <serialized> ah ok :)
[18:49] <nishttal2> is there a way to install 32bit firefox on 64 bit ubuntu
[18:49] <mysho> i have installed unity to my ubuntu 10.10 and it is working very slowly, mouse is lagging,... (like if i had windows on slow PC), when i logout and get back to ubuntu desktop it works fast again
[18:50] <mysho> any ideas of how can i make unity work faster?
[18:50] <dtcrshr> can anyone help me updating my ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10? i got a bunch of errors trying
[18:50] <anuj> #help
[18:52] <rigved> nishttal2: not sure but you could try to download the .deb file from the website and then trying
[18:52] <chaozuper> could somebody help me with 'make' errors or direct me to a page with help about them please?
[18:55] <nishttal2> rigved, ok will try that
[18:55] <Guest11774> Which programme could I use for check how my voice sounds while using a microphone?
[18:56] <honeypot> is there a way to install ubuntu without GUI?
[18:57] <greppy> honeypot: install the server edition
[18:57] <rubbs> honeypot: server edition or try the alternative edition
[18:57] <honeypot> greppy: I don't have the disc nor the time to download atm
[18:57] <rigved> Guest11774: System > Administration > System Testing
[18:57] <jPuff> well how about this
[18:57] <rubbs> honeypot: you can install a desktop version then use aptitude to remove gdm and the like.
[18:58] <jPuff> i have a process thats been running for 6 hours and is currently taking up 94% of some resource
[18:58] <jPuff> its called apt-get -qq -y update
[18:58] <sloopy> rtdos, hello!
[18:58] <honeypot> rubbs: I have a problem in spotting all "the like" :(
[18:58] <greppy> honeypot: I think there are boot options for the cd that will let you do it sans gui, but not sure what they are off the top of my head.
[18:58] <dtcrshr> i got the following error http://pastebin.com/LWt0s7R7 I think he tryes to select br. repos to update, but they seem to not be avaiable here. how do i force the updater to choose not br repos?
[18:59] <honeypot> greppy: I checked them one by one :( F1 F2...
[18:59] <rubbs> honeypot: you can also look at setting your runlevel so the gui never starts, but I'm not sure how that works with upstart
[18:59] <rubbs> !runlevel | honeypot
[18:59] <rigved> dtcrshr: easiest way is to backup your data and do a clean install
[19:00] <dtcrshr> rigved, disagree
[19:02] <ivan_> hi, is there something to do when installing ubuntu on a ssd? or are the default settings ok?
[19:02] <cellardoor> ivan_, using a notebook version?
[19:02] <gobbe> ivan_: just install, use ext4 if you want trim
[19:02] <vcdeveloper> has anyone here successfully setup a streaming server for live & on-demand service?
[19:02] <rigved> dtcrshr: my opinion...but your's may differ
[19:02] <qos> i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... how can i fix it?
[19:03] <rtdos> hey sloopy. :)
[19:03] <ivan_> cellardoor: yes, it will be on a notebook (the disk is a ocz vertex 2)
[19:04] <ivan_> gobbe: what about fstab? i read somewhere that it was suggested to change the options with something else (don't remember what)
[19:05] <gobbe> ivan_: yes, add discard-option
[19:06] <Encrypte1> Hi, what should i format my external USB HD to? Ext3 or 4? Or FAT32? It will be used only on Ubuntu, reason i say fat32, is most usb jump drives are fat32 and those work just fine on my Ubuntu
[19:06] <honeypot> rubbs: what is runlevel used for :(
[19:06] <ivan_> gobbe: what about noatime ?
[19:07] <gobbe> ivan_: it helps, but not necessary
[19:07] <dtcrshr> rigved, changed in my synaptic to use main servers, instead of my local ones and worked
[19:07] <dtcrshr> kinda harsh to "clean install"
[19:07] <rigved> dtcrshr: cool...local servers may be down
[19:08] <Wolfsherz> Encrypte1: if you are absolutely sure that you will only use it with Ubuntu, then go for ext4. if there is just a slim chance you will plug that drive to another os one day use fat32...
[19:08] <rubbs> honeypot: traditionally it does things like "single-user-mode" "non graphics mode" and "gui mode" lower run levels would not load certain sections of the system. Looks like upstart kills off the whole runlevel thing though, so I'm not sure what is possible.
[19:08] <ivan_> gobbe: ok... and should i keep the swap or remove it? (4gb of ram)
[19:09] <gobbe> ivan_: well, i have swap activated and been running ~2 years on ssd
[19:10] <Encr9> Hi, what should i format my external USB HD to? Ext3 or 4? Or FAT32? It will be used only on Ubuntu, reason i say fat32, is most usb jump drives are fat32 and those work just fine on my Ubuntu
[19:10] <Encr9> oh Wolfsherz just now seen your response, ok thanks :D
[19:11] <ivan_> gobbe: ok... i'll keep it :)
[19:12] <donvito> why oidentd on my ubuntu doesnt work
[19:13] <ivan_> gobbe: how's your hdparm? with my current hd it says ~80 mb but i saw that the ocz does like 200-250... i think the speed will change a lot :)
[19:13] <chaozuper> how do i know what to do about make errors?
[19:13] <amr> after an update my networking menu is being a bit funny: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52148/test.png
[19:13] <ProjektGhost> Hello, recently a friend told me that Ubuntu would be dropping xorg in future releases. I've been reading around, and I've come across Ubuntu Unity. Will this be a derivative of Ubuntu Desktop, or will it be the new, main version of Ubuntu?
[19:13] <gobbe> ivan_: ocz's are fast, but they can break easily
[19:13] <amr> the entire applet seems to be a bit broken
[19:13] <ivan_> gobbe: mm..nice :)
[19:14] <amr> is it possible to reinstall it perhaps?
[19:14] <gobbe> ivan_: how did you run it?
[19:14] <ivan_> gobbe: break because of what ?
[19:14] <gobbe> ivan_: build quality is not so good as in intels, they are faster and can break easier
[19:14] <Pokinawa> does anyone know the command to check cpu temperature?
[19:14] <gobbe> ivan_: so i would say do your backups
[19:15] <gobbe> ivan_: in our company we have had ~5 cases in past 2 years where ocz's has broke
[19:15] <ivan_> gobbe: hdparm? with other stuff open, but don't think that something was accessing a lot the disk
[19:15] <Mrokii> Hello. I have a problem with a generical 105-keys keyboard on Ubuntu 10.10. The character named "dead_tilde" ("~"; shown when the "win"-key is pressed) only shows up on the second keypress of the key. Does anybody know what the problem could be?
[19:15] <gobbe> ivan_: what parameters did you use?
[19:15] <chaozuper> i'm trying to get my belkin f5d8053 wireless adapter working and i keep getting a make error when compiling the driver. any ideas?
[19:16] <ivan_> gobbe: nice :( about backups sure... i'm putting everything on dropbox and github for the source.... i'd lose stuff like movies&audio, but it's not a big issue :)
[19:16] <alexbobP> If I use full disk encyption, is it safe to use automatic login?  I want to make sure there's no way for someone to get it to log back in as me after I log out but leave my computer running.
[19:16] <ivan_> gobbe: hdparm -tT /dev/sda
[19:16] <donvito> why oidentd on my ubuntu doesnt work
[19:16] <gobbe> ivan_: aah, ok, i can get something like 180
[19:16] <Mrokii> The strange thing is that the other 3rd levels of the keys are shown on the first key-press, just not the dead_tilde-character.
[19:17] <ivan_> gobbe: cool :)
[19:17] <gobbe> ivan_: actually 206 says now
[19:17] <gobbe> ivan_: and this is intel
[19:17] <donvito> why oidentd on my ubuntu doesnt work
[19:18] <mtt> i'm shrinking my 450gb ntfs drive and creating a new partition for ubuntu. how long should it take? it's going on for 8 hrs!
[19:18] <ivan_> gobbe: my big problem is when i have netbeans/kontact/nepomuk which index the whole world and the computer just start go so slow... :) hope to resolv in part with the ocz
[19:18] <Wolfsherz> Mrokii: you need to switch keyboard to deadgraveacute mode
[19:18] <gobbe> ivan_: are you running encryption or something?
[19:18] <ivan_> gobbe: yes, on home dir
[19:18] <Mrokii> Wolfsherz: How/Where do I do that?
[19:19] <amr> anyone know how i can fix my notifier?
[19:19] <gobbe> ivan_: ok, that can slow down ofcourse
[19:19] <sandking> hey
[19:19] <Wolfsherz> Mrokii: System -> Settings -> Keyboard
[19:19] <ivan_> gobbe: yeah, i know, but i prefer to have it, you never know :)
[19:19] <sandking> rhythmbox has sorting with BPM option but i don't see way to detect BPM?
[19:19] <gobbe> ivan_: i know, i run luks but it means that i cannot use trim
[19:20] <ivan_> gobbe: mm..i think that it's a bad thing... do you know what is used by default to encrypt the home dir?
[19:21] <gobbe> ivan_: what is bad thing? bot using trim?
[19:22] <ivan_> gobbe: not be able to use trim.. i mean, i'm actually new on ssd's but i've read that it's useful ;)
[19:22] <gobbe> ivan_: well...it can slow down the ssd in future, but i'v been running this for ~2 years now
[19:23] <Mrokii> Wolfsherz: I'm sorry, but I can't find that option anywhere in the keyboard-settings? And I don't think I've seen it before.
[19:23] <Oli``> How do I blacklist a hardware module from being loaded without -- and this is the important bit -- rebooting.
[19:23] <Wolfsherz> Mrokii: my system is german, i can not tell you exactly what the menu is called
[19:24] <Wolfsherz> its the tab where you can add other keyboard layouts
[19:24] <Guest79609> hola
[19:24] <Matt-_-> i'm shrinking my 450gb ntfs drive and creating a new partition for ubuntu. how long should it take? it's going on for 8 hrs!
[19:25] <endrien> Hello, I downloaded some GTK themes but ubuntu 10.10 says its not valid?
[19:25] <Wolfsherz> you add the keyboard-layout of your language with the option nograveacute
[19:25] <Mrokii> Wolfsherz: So, what is the menu called in German? I can change it to German, as I am German, it's just that I usually use Ubuntu in English).

[19:31] <jesus_> someone has installed google chrome?
[19:32] <xSodia> After extract ! I have a file named broadcom-wireless-kmp-pae-5.10.91.9_2.6.27.19_5-0.i586.rpm
[19:32] <rigved> jesus_: are you having a problem with it?
[19:32] <jesus_> yes
[19:32] <VarcMB> Thank you for the reply
[19:32] <jesus_> when i installed java
[19:32] <maco> xSodia: broadcom wireless should be available through system -> admin -> hardware drivers
[19:32] <rigved> xSodia: that's the wrong file
[19:32] <jesus_> it says that the plugin cant be found
[19:32] <maco> xSodia: RPMs are for Red Hat, Fedora, and SUSE
[19:33] <jesus_> i 've proved everything
[19:33] <rigved> jesus_: how did you install java?

[19:36] <sveinse> Hi. How can I start pulseaudio in my system? I'm using maverick and I don't have any X11, yet I need pulseaudio.
[19:36] <rigved> jesus_: http://superuser.com/questions/44827/java-support-for-linux-google-chrome
[19:37] <tsimpson> sveinse: why do you need pulseaudio?
[19:37] <VarcMB> So, if i wanna have a mentor i need register myself in Launchpad right?
[19:37] <sveinse> I need sound, and I need certain features of PA
[19:39] <tsimpson> sveinse: well pulse needs some X stuff to be installed
[19:39] <rhin0> not just ubuntu question -- why does it take half a day to copy 1.8 gigabyte using nautilus -- just drag n drop copying?
[19:39] <VarcMB> One ask, (and sorry for ask too many things) what mean "Wiki host:" In Launchpad
[19:39] <amr> after an update my networking menu is being a bit funny: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52148/test.png
[19:39] <sveinse> tsimpson: no it doesn't. You can disable the X11 specific libs in it's config.
[19:40] <amr> does anyone know how to fix it?
[19:40] <tsimpson> sveinse: it depends on libx11-6 for instance
[19:40] <VarcMB> Wiki host:? <-- What mean
[19:41] <tsimpson> VarcMB: did you create a wiki page about yourself yet?
[19:41] <VarcMB> No, i am just seeying LaunchPad site for request a mentor
[19:41] <rhin0> amr what is wrong with it
[19:41] <tsimpson> VarcMB: then just leave it blank for now
[19:42] <rhin0> cant see anything
[19:42] <normal> I have sound problems, googled HDA ATI SB, found a thread, stuck at "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec". It outputs "Codec: VIA ID 397". Using 8.04
[19:42] <VarcMB> Ok, thanks. What i need complet in LaunchPad?
[19:43] <tsimpson> VarcMB: at the minimum, an email address, user name and a password
[19:43] <sveinse> tsimpson: Yes. I'm trying to start pulseaudio in user mode according to PA docs, it insists on reading /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. So I'm wondering if Ubuntu has patched something here...
[19:44] <sveinse> I.e. pulseaudio cannot be used outside of X or something
[19:45] <rhin0> you may be connected to more than one network amr
[19:45] <VarcMB> I see, i wanna help Ubuntu :D But i first need complet it
[19:45] <sveinse> It seems to ignore my command line options
[19:45] <rigved> VarcMB: you also need to sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. so you need a key, like in public or private key
[19:45] <gufghur> Hi all, i'm extremely new on irc and just a little bit less new on ubuntu, am i in right place?

[19:46] <mellin> Hi everyone. I've been reading up on file permissions and haven't found information when using cifs and mounting dir_mode or file_mode. And that is each command I have seen are 0777. The 777 part is easy to understand. What is the significance of the "0"<zero> and is it specific only to using cifs?
[19:46] <VarcMB> Yes i have my personal key and i send the OpenPGP key
[19:46] <Mrokii> gufghur: But for asking questions about Ubuntu, this is a good start.
[19:46] <amr> rhin0: i am, how's that a problem?
[19:46] <gufghur> :) well, i've been trying to make my dvd player show the movies i want to see, but i can't get it work ...
[19:46] <rigved> VarcMB: then i guess you are good to go
[19:46] <thebloggu> i have an asus f3jc with a syntek webcam. it works perfectly aside from the fact it wont turn the led off after using it. not even a reboot will turn it off. i have to shut the computer off entirely. there have been several posts on the forums about this as well as bug reports but it has not been corrected for a lot of releases. can someone help me?
[19:47] <VarcMB> Cool, sorry for the questions
[19:47] <rigved> VarcMB: np
[19:47] <xangua> !medibuntu
[19:47] <xangua> gufghur: you need libdvdcs2, easily aviable via medibuntu repositories

[19:47] <rigved> xSodia: hi
[19:48] <tsimpson> VarcMB: if you have questions about launchpad, #launchpad is a better place to ask
[19:48] <xangua> !dvd | or if you want gufghur
[19:48] <gufghur> ok. i'll try it. thanks for helping out!!!!

[19:52] <galagalagala> okay, I have a linux mint iso, and ubuntu installed on my laptop. How can I install mint?
[19:53] <Pici> !mintsupport | galagalagala
[19:53] <mellin> galagalagala: Depends if you want to run it while booted into Ubuntu then Virtualbox is a good option. If not perhaps dual boot is a good choice?
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> galagalagala:  burn it to cd. or put on usb.. boot it.
[19:54] <amr> half tempted to give up on gnome
[19:54] <amr> or remove it
[19:54] <duryodhan> hi .. I want to enable twofinger scrolling and twofinger middle click on my synaptics touchpad. Online, the recommended settings are to use xorg.conf file, but I can't find this file in my 10.10 install
[19:54] <edwardo> my computer even runs quieter when running linux instead of windows
[19:54] <KM0201> amr: and use what?
[19:54] <amr> xfce or something
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> Lubuntu is getting nice
[19:54] <amr> this panel is getting on my tits
[19:54] <galagalagala> Dr_willis, thanks I trying to do it with a usb, but nothing is happening when i boot, I have put the right settings under the bios :/
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> galagalagala:  i dont see much point in using 'mint'
[19:55] <botcity> amr: right click the panel select properties check the show hide buttons box and then un-check it  !
[19:55] <KM0201> amr: but what are you going to use in place of it?
[19:55] <mellin> KM0201: Greets
[19:55] <KM0201> mellin: :) greetings
[19:55] <amr> botcity: i've restarted gnome & the netbook repeatedly
[19:55] <amr> removed the panel
[19:56] <amr> there is no properties when you right click the indicator applet
[19:56] <amr> just about, move, remove, lock
[19:56] <galagalagala> Dr_Willis, ah okay, I was hoping it would have a shorter boot time.
[19:56] <KM0201> amr: well what are you trying to do to indicator applet?.. fwiw, the indicator applet, and the panel, are different
[19:56] <mellin> amr: Perhaps if you state what it is that you are trying to accomplish in the first place other than just ditching gnome?
[19:56] <Wolfsherz> wenn ich über die sitzungsanzeige meinen status einstellen kann, wieso kann ich dort nicht auch meine kontaktliste öffnen (ICQ)?
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> galagalagala:  given how fast ubuntu boots for me.. i would be suprised if mint could make it any faster
[19:56] <amr> KM0201: indeed
[19:56] <replicasex> anybody remember a quick and easy way to move the window title to the center?
[19:56] <Wolfsherz> sorry, wrong channel
[19:56] <amr> i've stated it above twice
[19:56] <amr> "after an update my networking menu is being a bit funny: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52148/test.png"
[19:57] <galagalagala> Dr_Willis, okay, thanks
[19:57] <Programix> hi, i have this problem, i have dual boot with windows xp but i can't boot to it from grub for some reason, i get error 28. it worked fine a few days ago though. could someone help me please?
[19:57] <mellin> amr: Sorry missed it
[19:57] <amr> see how there's no formatting
[19:57] <amr> mellin: no worries
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> replicasex:  I was thinking the Ubuntu-tweak tool let you tweak the titlebar/button placements very easially
[19:57] <piyushmishra> I am having a strange issue with my ubuntu. when I lft click or rt click, it takes it like the alt key pressed and when I actually press the alt key and click, it behaves like normal clicks
[19:57] <mister> when I try to start timidity I get this: chown: changing ownership of `/var/run/timidity': Operation not permitted
[19:57] <KM0201> amr: it looks like it has combined the left click and right click menus... that is strange....
[19:57] <replicasex> Dr_Willis, that's what I thought but it seems to only let me place one spacer inbetween it o.O
[19:57] <xangua> Dr_Willis: maybe the emtacity theme aligns the tittle to the left or something
[19:57] <amr> KM0201: it is indeed!!
[19:58] <mister> can anybody explain this error? must be why not starting at bot...
[19:58] <amr> absolutely no clue how to fix it
[19:58] <guampa> anyone knows the reason why kernel.ubuntu.com doesn't upgrade its ppa? it only has a lucid backport, but over http it's full of kernels!
[19:58] <amr> adding/removing, killing, rebooting havent done anything
[19:58] <xangua> replicasex: you will manually need to edit the metacity theme you are using
[19:58] <KM0201> amr: but i fail to see how that would be a big deal.. you only see it when you left click the applet
[19:58] <amr> KM0201: a fault annoys me massively :p
[19:58] <amr> it shouldn't be like that in the first place so there's something wrong, which annoys me
[19:58] <piyushmishra> anyone else having an issue with mouse clicks? 10.04
[19:58] <KM0201> amr: i dunno... maybe is something that changed, who knows
[19:59] <amr> well, if i remove the indicator applet, the wireless icon goes into the notification applet (different widget maybe?) and that menu is fine
[19:59] <amr> well, it still has the right click in the left click menu
[19:59] <amr> but there's formatting
[20:00] <replicasex> xangua, uh how would I do that? O.o  I could swear I have seen the option for left/center/right before.
[20:00] <mellin> mister: Basically it is saying that something is trying to change the file ownership at the specified path, which of course it won't allow
[20:00] <pienkie> hi guys. I've set up a media center host, which was working fine up to a point, but then something broke. the system itself is still seemingly OK, but my auto-logon is a bit weird. I've made backups & modified the '/etc/init/tty5.conf' fine, adding a line to echo some status into to a log file, but theres noting in the log file, wich leads me to think that the file is not firing off correctly. is anyone able to help me with the auto-s
[20:00] <xangua> replicasex: you may have seen it in xfce or other window manager
[20:00] <milen8204> anyone who knows a program for audio edition ?
[20:01] <Mrokii> milen8204: Audacity?
[20:01] <piyushmishra> i upgraded sudo and installed sugar package that's the last thing I did before my clicks went auto alt
[20:01] <xangua> emerald for example replicasex
[20:01] <pienkie> milen8204: Audacity
[20:01] <normal> I have sound problems, googled HDA ATI SB, found a thread, stuck at "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec". It outputs "Codec: VIA ID 397". Using 8.04 #4
[20:01] <milen8204> Mrokii, pienkie it makes files in format which only it can read
[20:01] <steve590> wg
[20:01] <pienkie> milen8204: otherwise, if you have a particulat app in mind, check out alternativeto.net for alternatives
[20:02] <botcity> amr: is that screen shot of a netbook witch edition 9.10 ?
[20:02] <steve590> where do I find dban for ubuntu?
[20:02] <amr> it's 10.10, botcity
[20:02] <amr> now my muted volume icon has gone funny :/
[20:02] <gordonjcp> milen8204: what, audacity?
[20:02] <amr> it's ubuntu netbook edition, but with ubuntu-desktop installed instead
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> piyushmishra:  Upgraded sudo how exactly?   I dont see how that would affect X/mouse  tho.
[20:02] <milen8204> gordonjcp, yes
[20:02] <shadow98> i created a share and i had a user map it via windows using the username and passowrd i created for them....however i cannot edit file in that directory because
[20:03] <KM0201> amr: strange, i wodner if the netbook interface has something to do w/ it
[20:03] <Mrokii> milen8204: I think you can also export the files as mp3 (did that to turn songs into ringtones at one time).
[20:03] <gordonjcp> milen8204: it loads and saves pretty much any format you like
[20:03] <Programix> i have this problem, i have dual boot with windows xp but i can't boot to it from grub for some reason, i get error 28. it worked fine a few days ago though. could someone help me please?
[20:03] <shadow98> it says he is the owner...how do i make it so we can both work with the files
[20:03] <amr> it's only a recent develoment, in the last day or so?
[20:03] <milen8204> morhook, i will try to export :D
[20:03] <amr> so perhaps if there was a recent package update for the netbook version
[20:03] <gordonjcp> milen8204: if you do File->Save it saves the *project*, not the audio file - you want File->Export
[20:03] <botcity> amr: i know there is a command to reset the panel in gnome sorry i cant recall it ?
[20:03] <piyushmishra> Dr_Willis: it showed up in my upgrade center and I let it upgrade. then I installed sugar from sugarlabs to try. it wasn't broken till then suddenly now it behaves as if alt key is pressed
[20:04] <amr> botcity: heh that might be useful
[20:04] <amr> lemme know if you remember
[20:04] <mister> mellin: all I do is "/etc/init.d/timidity start" which I'm not supposed to sudo
[20:04] <wedwo-> milamber, it saves as .aup but has the option to "export" many other formats
[20:04] <amr> altho i'm not sure if that'd do it
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> piyushmishra:  Its possible sugar did somthing.. but i doubt if sudo did.
[20:04] <milen8204> gordonjcp, yes you are right Thanks alot
[20:04] <milen8204> Mrokii, thank you too
[20:04] <Mrokii> milen8204: you're welcome.
[20:04] <piyushmishra> Dr_Willis:  I already removed it to check. if it broke something, it hasn't undone it on uninstall :(
[20:04] <gordonjcp> milen8204: if you need something a bit more substantial you can use Ardour
[20:05] <piyushmishra> Dr_Willis: how do I fix it now?
[20:05] <brontoeee> milen8204, or commercial reaper
[20:05] <piyushmishra> I can't keep alt+clicking all the time lol
[20:05] <milen8204> Thanks guys

[20:08] <Dr_Willis> piyushmishra: see if a new user works.. if so. then its the other users settings that are the issue.. if all users have issues.. then its some system config perhaps.

[20:10] <pienkie> Mrokii: it is....
[20:11] <pienkie> JZandi: google: download ubuntu 64
[20:11] <Matt-_-> help! i have a serious issue
[20:11] <mellin> OK so it should already be started(I presume) try this....  timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0
[20:11] <JZandi> in this location exist 64bit os only for amd no intel
[20:11] <Matt-_-> i'm shrinking my c drive partition and creating my ubuntu one.
[20:11] <JZandi> my cou is Corei7!
[20:11] <tsimpson> JZandi: AMD64 works on all intel chips too, it's just the name for 64bit
[20:11] <gufghur> what iu figured out, was that i should put that into the command ...? but when i try that, command asks for my password and when i type the password, command does not register one character of it. the cursor just blinks.
[20:11] <Mrokii> gufghur: If you run that command in the terminal, it should solve the problem (hopefully...)
[20:12] <JZandi> why this named as amd?
[20:12] <tsimpson> JZandi: because AMD developed the standard for 64 bit chips this time round

[20:15] <aims> hello all. i am having an issue whereby samba wont start at boot. i've already tried using update-rc.d and adding 'smbd restart' to /etc/rc.local to no avail
[20:16] <tsimpson> mister: prefix the command with "sudo ", it will prompt you for your password, but it won't show what you type (it's a security measure)
[20:16] <froschblob> xangua: yeah, but how do i export the addressbook in mavi?
[20:16] <aims> however, 'smbd restart' will start samba when in a console. the issue is that i would like it to be automatic
[20:16] <jim__> hi, newbie, here. Can someone tell me if ubuntu requires anti virus software?

[20:18] <lieuwe> is it possible to get cp to show a progress bar?
[20:18] <jim__> ok, thanks.
[20:18] <aims> erUSUL: trying to get it to work, i did. should i put it back. why does it not show shares that were created by using nautilus?
[20:19] <botcity> gufghur: try again

[20:20] <pienkie> jim__: hi jim. it theory, no, but that does *not* mean that Linux will not be suceptible to virii in the future, i.e. it's not immune or impervious;  just that there' s not that much Linux out there compared to other OS's, & virus-writers, loke other coders, like to target as large a market or audience as possible. ClamAV is a free AV foe linux & a a good firewall helps too. also, you're more likely to pick up mal-code via your browse
[20:20] <erUSUL> lieuwe: pv can copy files with prograss bar
[20:20] <Ascavasaion> tsimpson: Could he not use wget using localhost IP?

[20:22] <pienkie> hi guys. I've set up a media center host, which was working fine up to a point, but then something broke. the system itself is still seemingly OK, but my auto-logon is a bit weird. I've made backups & modified the '/etc/init/tty5.conf' fine, adding a line to echo some status into to a log file, but theres noting in the log file, wich leads me to think that the file is not firing off correctly. is anyone able to help me with the auto-s
[20:22] <tsimpson> Ascavasaion: not unless he has a webserver installed, but possibly using file:// URIs
[20:22] <aims> erUSUL, then, no i did not modify that file
[20:22] <tsimpson> mister: are you following the instructions at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/SoftwareSynthesisHowTo#Installing%20TiMidity++
[20:22] <Ascavasaion> tsimpson: Exactly... wget file://127.0.0.1/  A very cumbersome way though.
[20:23] <cinmoon> greppy: i followed those instrutions, they simply caused my internet connection to quit working
[20:23] <pickled> anyone know the command to check for recent system errors that have occured in ubuntu?
[20:23] <erUSUL> pickled: dmesg ?
[20:23] <tsimpson> Ascavasaion: no, you don't use IPs with file://
[20:23] <mister> tsimpson: werd just found out timidity starts fine if I ~$ timidity -iA -Os
[20:24] <Ascavasaion> tsimpson: oh, okay.
[20:24] <pienkie> pickled: check out your /var/log/syslog & other log files
[20:24] <pienkie> (like messages)
[20:24] <erUSUL> aims: well then it is weird that it wont start ... it only depends on the filesystems being mounted ...
[20:24] <jfvineyardjr> if I go to applications>music, document, downloads, or any sub heading it takes me to appearence settings everytime
[20:24] <erUSUL> aims: maybe there is something in syslog or messages about it?
[20:25] <aims> the folder is in the user's home directory

[20:26] <jk_> The latest kernel update for Lucid killed my nvidia driver, but the previous kernel still works fine. What's the cure to let me use the newer kernel?

[20:26] <monokrome> Hi. I'm trying to change /etc/motd
[20:26] <monokrome> but Ubuntu keeps replacing it with stuff that I don't want
[20:27] <xangua> jk_: keep Shift key pressed during boot to show grub and use other kernel
[20:27] <pickled> what command can i use to check a fat12 floppy.img ?
[20:27] <monokrome> How can I change /etc/motd properly?
[20:27] <erUSUL> pickled: mount it in a loop device. use fsck.msdos ?
[20:27] <ugliefrog> how to i connect to a win 7 pc setup on my network....w7 pc sees me and access my ubuntu sys no problem...however it keeps asking me for a password and everyone i type in nadda happens
[20:28] <jk_> xangua, that's what I'm doing (except that I get the grub menu automatically) but I'd like to be able to use the newer one since it has security fixes.
[20:28] <erUSUL> pickled: mount is not the correct term you have to use losetup
[20:28] <aims> erUSUL: Jan 19 09:10:37 librarian init: smbd main process (412) terminated with status 1
[20:28] <jfvineyardjr> thank you

[20:29] <YANAwiro> hi guys
[20:29] <jk_> erUSUL, from the Hardware Drivers on the System menu; I'm using Xubuntu, not Ubuntu with full Gnome.
[20:31] <erUSUL> jk_: an update shouldn't have messed up the driver install then. report the bug.
[20:31] <erUSUL> !bugs | jk_
[20:31] <erUSUL> jk_: the log /var/log/Xorg.0.log may have info on why the driver is broken
[20:31] <pienkie> is anyone able to help me……….PLEASE? (I've asked the same pretty basic question 3 times already, with no response) if not, then *please* just let me know.
[20:32] <pienkie> need some gelp with init config scripts...
[20:32] <pienkie> *help*
[20:32] <jesus_> someone has problems with chrome and java?
[20:32] <jk_> erUSUL, Thanks, I'll check the logs and possibly file a bug on launchpad.
[20:33] <jimcooncat> ugliefrog: you're not giving anywhere near enough info for anyone to help you, but then again this might be a questions for ##windows. When I set up some win7 recently here I had to enable some TCP/IP stuff in it to work properly with the Ubuntu servers -- and even an Win2000 box.
[20:33] <froschblob> xangua: fyi the evolution-addressbook-export ist still there in /usr/lib... there only is no more an link into a dir in the path...

[20:35] <Cpt_Zyph> hey guys when i try to do updates im getting a driver error or something in regards to the b43 driver having errors... but I have not activated that driver at all.. i was told on my last install that using the wl driver could cause my lock up problems
[20:35] <erUSUL> pienkie: well; tty5.conf is not a shell script so just adding a line with « echo something > logfile » wont have any effect ( well it probably make the init file invalid or something )
[20:35] <Cpt_Zyph> i have not used the orginal b43 driver still get lock ups not as often.. but can someone look at this and tell me what is giong on with the update errors

[20:37] <StSapphire> I'm having an issue accessing one (but no other) samba share on my Windows machine that is hosted on my ubuntu server. The following is the section of my smb.conf where I define two of my shares - the first one is not working, the second is. Any thoughts? http://pastie.org/1482140

[20:39] <jesus_> I have problems with java and chrome, i have instaled correctly, but when i run a website with javaa, appears that message: icedTeaNPRBrowser Plugin (using Iced Tea6 1.9.2 (6b20-1.9.2-0ubuntu2) does anyone know this problem???
[20:40] <StSapphire> jesus_: Have you tried uninstalling that plugin from Chrome?
[20:40] <xangua> jesus_: use sun java instead of openjdk
[20:40] <jesus_> ok
[20:40] <jesus_> i'll try now
[20:40] <jesus_> i unistall only openjdk
[20:40] <pienkie> erUSUL: I've set up p a box to do some auto-login stuff & associated it with the '/etc/init/ty5.conf' fine. I've commented out the line `exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty5` & added `exec /bin/login -f tv < /dev/tty5 > /dev/tty5 2>&1` & another line to log the process: `echo $(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) ": started TTY5 @ user 'tv'" >> /var/log/xbmc.tty5.log` .  in `/home/tv/` & I'd added/modded to files, .bash_profile & .xinitrc to startx & star

[20:42] <rpolak> I'm trying to modifiy the ring buffers on an ethernet interface prior to the interface being configured by calling 'ethtool -G eth0 rx 8192' directly after the module is inserted into the kernel on 10.04 LTS
[20:42] <electron80001> i fixed the problem with the wrong libraries that didnt work by simply deleting them from the folders (i had the old ones in usr/lib, the new ones were installed into usr/local/lib) - is this the usual way to do uninstall?
[20:42] <pienkie> erUSUL: does that make sense?
[20:42] <electron80001> or is ubuntu setting something anywhere else during make install?
[20:43] <aioobe_> what is the propert way to disable gnome-panels (I may want them back some day so I prefer not to "delete" the panels....)
[20:43] <erUSUL> pienkie: well never done this; dunno if you can do shell style redirection in a upstart exec call for instance
[20:44] <masai47> I am wanting to install Edubuntu with RAID but setting up partitions as RAID does not seem to be an option during the installation process, advice?
[20:44] <aioobe_> (gnome-panels are not present in System->Preferences->Startup applications)
[20:44] <erUSUL> pienkie: maybe you should do all that between « script » and « end script » clauses and it will work
[20:44] <infectedbrain> Hey how can i get execuatble files enables on my windows partition that way i can just stay in linux and use wine
[20:44] <erUSUL> pienkie: anyway ask in #upstart ;
[20:45] <pienkie> erUSUL: thanks for the tip; I'm trying the `exec` directives & commmenting my other additions.
[20:45] <VCoolio> electron80001: no, now you have installed packages that have missing files and will throw errors once you remove them; you uninstall the way you install, with synaptic or apt-get or whatever
[20:45] <pienkie> erUSUL: looking good; thanks
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> aioobe_: possibly: http://awn.planetblur.org/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=1792&page=1&isLive=true
[20:45] <infectedbrain> anyone?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: most of those apps won't run unless they are portable
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: you can run a true install of windows in virtualbox but 3D will perform poorly, if at all
[20:46] <erUSUL> aioobe_: you have to use gconf-editor and edit the gnome session to not include panels iirc
[20:47] <Cpt_Zyph> so anyone making sense of this error..
[20:47] <infectedbrain> can you just help me out with it anyway when i check the allow as execuatable it just flashes that check then stays off
[20:47] <Cpt_Zyph> http://pastebin.com/0JWNHVtK
[20:47] <aioobe_> erUSUL: Ah, that seems to be a desent way of doing it... any idea why they have removed it from the "Session" settings?
[20:47] <pienkie> erUSUL: I learn something new every day. this new(sh) way of doing things will take some getting used to
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: try:  wine /path/to/filename.exe

[20:50] <stuart__> VLC is pretty good
[20:50] <cellardoor> erUSUL, ty
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> dreamon: could add the commands in /etc/rc.local   above the exit 0 line
[20:50] <Jemt> madjoe: I use audacity for music, mplayer for movies
[20:50] <infectedbrain> what do i need to edit in the fstab file to enable exec
[20:50] <aioobe_> erUSUL: I don't have those :-(  Under apps/gnome-session I only have "options" and under options, I have "auto_save_session", "logout_prompt" and "splash_image" :-(  (using maverick)  any other suggestions?
[20:50] <lwizardl> Hello
[20:50] <madjoe> infectedbrain: VLC FTW :-)
[20:51] <erUSUL> aioobe_: still in lucid
[20:51] <przemek_> madjoe: or if you want all in one try xbmc :-)
[20:51] <aioobe_> okay
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: there is no single best app for anything
[20:51] <infectedbrain> Madjoe: yeah all the way
[20:51] <dreamon> ActionParsnip, Will give it a try. Thx
[20:51] <infectedbrain> what do i need to edit in the fstab file to enable exec
[20:51] <infectedbrain> please someone answer
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: there are options available, try a few, see which you like
[20:51] <lwizardl> I was wondering if someone could point me to a proper guide on how to install a FTP server on Ubuntu 10.10 ? I want to transfer files off of some EXT3 and NTFS file system formated drives
[20:51] <przemek_> there are one. xbmc let you play music watch video and also photos
[20:52] <erUSUL> !ftpd | lwizardl
[20:52] <madjoe> ActionParsnip: I was thinking of video players, sorry.
[20:52] <aioobe_> erUSUL: FYI: in Maverick I found it at /desktop/gnome/session/required_components
[20:52] <infectedbrain> ya know what... irc is lile the cb radio of the net
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: personally I like gnome-mplayer as it is one of the oldest and most respected players but people coming over from windows still tout vlc. Its an opinion so is not concrete
[20:52] <infectedbrain> like*
[20:52] <erUSUL> aioobe_: ok
[20:52] <infectedbrain> what do i need to edit in the fstab file to enable exec
[20:52] <aioobe_> erUSUL: thanks for the hints!
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: it's like asking "what is the best drink?"
[20:52] <infectedbrain> PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER or at least say ya dont knwo
[20:52] <infectedbrain> know*
[20:52] <madjoe> ActionParsnip: red wine ftw!
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: there are more than 1000 users in here, for everybody to reply with no is ridiculous
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: I like Bourbon. Neither is "best" it's personal preference
[20:53] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: edit the options andd exec to them ( is the last filed before the last two number only ones )
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: same with media players
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: and anything you can name in life in general
[20:53] <lwizardl> erUSUL, Yeah I know what programs/applications there are out there, but I am looking for a proper way to setup and configure a server for internal usage only not just internet usage
[20:54] <infectedbrain> erUsul: where do i add exec?
[20:54] <erUSUL> lwizardl: i would just use ssh; easier to set up
[20:54] <gufghur> hi people. I'm trying to install flashplayer, but have to choose between several versions. which is the right one? yum, tar.gz, or rpm i'm using latest ubuntu.
[20:54] <DexterF> any easy way to de-crypt /home?
[20:54] <lwizardl> erUSUL, if you have a guide for it I am open to it
[20:54] <przemek_> are you using 10.10 with wifi from broadcom? 4312?
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: you are using an OS which trumpets freedom and choice, yet you wade into an IRC channel to ask strngers what to use... smacks of Microsoft's control don't you think?
[20:55] <lwizardl> I just want to tranfer off 160GB of contents from 6 drives so I can format the drives to be used in other systems
[20:55] <LordBert> join #zimbra

[20:55] <piyushmishra> my mouse is acting weird. seems like alt is key is pressed by default. how do I reset it for my user?
[20:55] <nmvictor> seems like shuttleworth has a thing for KDE, first Unity replaces Gnome as the default shell, now Qt is will have some space in that CD? Well, why doesnt he just come out clean and admit that he loves KDE?
[20:55] <madjoe> ActionParsnip: I disagree on that one... apps are slightly different. There are speed performance, number of supported media types, available features, known issues... you can't compare those numbers with freaking tastes! This is something more comparable.
[20:56] <erUSUL> lwizardl: sorry the thing about fstab was not for you
[20:56] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: is the fourth field of the line; just add ,exec ( note the comma ) to the options that are already there
[20:56] <infectedbrain> esusul: do i need to relog or remount because thats not working
[20:56] <infectedbrain> erusul: do i need to relog or remount because thats not working
[20:56] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: yes you have to remount for that to take effect

[20:57] <xangua> as gkt is not only for gnome
[20:57] <xangua> gtk*
[20:58] <piyushmishra> the mouse if driving me crazy!!!!
[20:58] <lwizardl> erUSUL, ok I'll look at these and see if I can find a way. It will just be temporary usage to transfer these files one time and the format the drives to be used inside of other computers or in a NAS
[20:58] <piyushmishra> is*
[20:58] <nmvictor> xangua, well i understand Qt is to KDE what GTK+ is to Gnome,
[20:58] <infectedbrain> erusul: doesn't work
[20:59] <erUSUL> lwizardl: if it is something to do once in while you can even use netcat
[20:59] <doodoo> I am trying to compile a application. But it is asking me to install -dev version pf a package. Are these package unstable?

[20:59] <madjoe> Let me rephrase this: I tried Google without too much luck, but does anyone know of a website with a comparison tests of the most recent video players for Ubuntu Maverick?
[21:00] <guntbert> !compile
[21:00] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: check « cat /proc/mounts » and see if the option is listed there
[21:00] <xangua> madjoe: comparison of what¿
[21:00] <koszerny> ahoj
[21:00] <Mehok> hey guys i am trying to update the bluetooth app on ubuntu 8.4 can anyone tell me how to do it
[21:01] <greppy> doodoo: -dev packages are the development libraries, sometimes needed for applications to run.
[21:01] <piyushmishra> help me with my mouse!!! I am gonna shoot myself lol
[21:01] <madjoe> Xangua: speed, supported video types, etc.
[21:01] <xangua> Mehok: upgrade to lucid ;)
[21:01] <BluesKaj> madjoe, you can't go wrong with vlc , it plays almost every kind of codec and even media that's wrapped in an iso
[21:01] <doodoo> greppy, they wont break my system right?
[21:01] <infectedbrain> erusul: i se noexec (i know thats the opposite of what i want) how do i change that
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: just install a few and try them, see which you like. They all use a central source for codecs so all players can play everything once they have the codecs
[21:01] <greppy> doodoo: they shouldn't, no.
[21:01] <xangua> madjoe: well any player with the codecs supports all kind of files, VLC is supposed to support the most
[21:01] <greppy> doodoo: think of them more like the .dll's if you come from a windows background.
[21:02] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: can you show me the whole line? also post the relevant fstab line
[21:02] <normal> I have a sound problem. Googled HDA ATI SB, found a thread, stuck on "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec". It outputs: "Codec: VIA ID 397". Using 8.04; #5
[21:02] <Mehok> xangua i would but the the programme i am useing may have a compatibility issue twards the new version of ubuntu
[21:02] <doodoo> greppy, Ah Ok. thanks a lot.
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> xangua: the players use a central source for decoders, so they can all play as many as each other

[21:06] <infectedbrain> erusulk: i have no idea
[21:06] <AIDS123424424> hello
[21:06] <infectedbrain> erusul: what do you mean by that
[21:06] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: well then what entry in the fstab file you modified?
[21:06] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: i mean what is the filesystem you want to enable exec on
[21:07] <infectedbrain> erusul: proc            /proc           proc    nodev,exec,nosuid 0       0
[21:07] <cellardoor> lots of respect to ActionParsnip!! Thanks man I forgot about Medibuntu
[21:07] <alberto> Does anybody know why it takes sooooo long to switch dvb-t channels in Ubuntu? My TV card is Hauppauge HVR-1100
[21:07] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: o.0!! why would you want to enable exec in /proc ?
[21:07] <alberto> In Windows switches channels almost immediately.
[21:08] <infectedbrain> erusul:  i dont know. still a linux newb dont
[21:08] <xxiao> is Mark totaly losing his mind? i mean the Qt decision?
[21:08] <gordonjcp> here's a strange one; if I set fonts for no subpixel smoothing Firefox *still* uses subpixel smoothing
[21:08] <infectedbrain> erusul: dont yell
[21:08] <xxiao> time to return to Debian
[21:08] <gordonjcp> so of course everything looks great apart from Firefox, which has smeary green text
[21:08] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: i did not yell; i am just surprised. what is your ultimate goal? why are you doing this?

[21:10] <infectedbrain> erusul: which*
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: same in all browsers?
[21:10] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: i do not think that is possible. to run a game in wine you have to install the game under wine ( it will be stored in your home folder )
[21:11] <trism> gordonjcp: firefox seems to ignore the gnome font settings, you usually have to set what you want with ~/.fonts.conf, here is an example of mine that is similar to the gnome "best shapes" option: http://pastebin.com/wK47SH22

[21:15] <ankur> hello
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: you should, see if its specific to firefox
[21:15] <ankur> i have one problem
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> ankur: ask away
[21:15] <ankur> that i want to ask
[21:15] <svm_invictvs> Where is the lspci command in Ubuntu 10.10?
[21:15] <BluesKaj> normal, lspci | grep -i audio
[21:15] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: can't really be bothered installing another browser and having to work out if it's mozilla-derived etc etc
[21:15] <ankur> i am working with ubuntu 9.4 currently
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> svm_invictvs: in terminal, you type it
[21:15] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: you have to undo the edit in the proc line. proc has nothing to do with your windows partition
[21:16] <xangua> ankur: 9.04 is no longer supported
[21:16] <ankur> and now i want to upgrade it to a 10.10 version
[21:16] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: your windows partition is not listed in there
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: its a great first step to troubleshooting
[21:16] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: I'm only really using Ubuntu for five minutes while I get some screenshots
[21:16] <mikedoty> Can I run a 32-bit ubuntu on a 64-bit processor?
[21:16] <xangua> ankur: fresh install
[21:16] <ankur> but
[21:16] <xangua> mikedoty: yes
[21:16] <ghostnik11> can anyone tell me what linux version is ubuntu 10.10 is it linux 2.2x or 2.4x or 2.6x
[21:16] <mikedoty> ty!
[21:16] <ankur> i have many applications installed in my 9.4
[21:16] <xangua> !info linux | ghostnik11
[21:16] <Jordan_U> ghostnik11: Every version of Ubuntu has come with linux 2.6x
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: it's not hard, just install chromium-browser or midori and you will have another borwser. sudo apt-get install midori    it's not that hard
[21:17] <infectedbrain> erusul: sorry not partition different drive
[21:17] <kay_> hey guys i am looking for a better image prog then eye of GNOME....anyone recon a better prog?
[21:17] <ankur> is there any alternative ??? can't i upgrade without removing my existing configuration ?
[21:17] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: yes, but the thing is I don't actually care
[21:17] <ghostnik11> jordan_u: thanks
[21:17] <normal> BluesKay: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia ---- 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device aa38
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> ankur: jaunty isn't supported now
[21:17] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: I just thought it was odd, is all
[21:17] <ankur> is there any alternative ??? can't i upgrade without removing my existing configuration ?
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: then why should anyone else care
[21:17] <infectedbrain> erusul: my bad about that
[21:17] <Jordan_U> ghostnik11: You're welcome.
[21:17] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: yes i know; your windows partition is /dev/sdb2 /media/FEC81365C8131B89 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0
[21:17] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: I'm not actually needing to use firefox for the screenshots
[21:17] <Michal31337> [wget] how can i download only 1 folder from website?
[21:17] <guntbert> ankur: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[21:17] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: I did wonder if anyone else had noticed; a couple of people seem to be saying "yes, it does that a bit"
[21:18] <ankur> that i have seen
[21:18] <ankur> but actually the commands which are given at their are not working as stated there
[21:18] <xangua> ankur: upgrade to 9.10, then to 10.04 and finally to 10.10
[21:18] <ankur> yeah but howw???
[21:18] <odio> oCean: yes that command shows my disk, i want to access the files on it
[21:18] <ankur> what is the way to do that ?
[21:18] <infectedbrain> erusul: then add the exec flag to that?
[21:18] <gordonjcp> xangua: surely you'd be better just blatting it and doing a clean install
[21:18] <xangua> ankur: open update manager
[21:18] <erUSUL> !ntfs | infectedbrain
[21:19] <BluesKaj> normal, open alsamixer in the terminal and make sure your ctrls are unmuted , and turned up to at least 80%
[21:19] <ankur> my internet connection is very slow that is the reason that i want to do it using cd
[21:19] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: read that to add a proper line for your windows partition to fstab
[21:19] <svm_invictvs> Oh tehre is it.
[21:19] <svm_invictvs> *it is
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Michal31337: http://txt.binnyva.com/2007/03/download-entire-folder-using-wget-command-in-linux/
[21:19] <gordonjcp> ankur: is there a reason why you're not just doing a clean install?
[21:19] <ankur> because it takes too much time to download 800 something MB
[21:19] <ankur> yes
[21:19] <Michal31337> ActionParsnip thx
[21:19] <xangua> ankur: you will have to download 3 alternate cd, it's the same
[21:19] <xangua> since you don't want to do a fresh install
[21:19] <normal> BluesKaj: 2 channels, Master 81, PCM 100
[21:19] <ankur> i have installed many of applications in my 9.4 which are academically useful to me
[21:20] <oCean> odio: In that case, you have to mount that second disk. Say in the output your second disk is /dev/sdb, with a /dev/sdb1 partition on it. Then you have to mount /dev/sdb1 on a certain mountpoint.
[21:20] <erUSUL> !ntfs-3g
[21:20] <gordonjcp> ankur: so, reinstall them on a clean install
[21:20] <ankur> is there any links to that alternate cd ???? i downloaded however version 10.10 from website
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> a goo alternative to eye of gnome (imho) is gthumb
[21:20] <ankur> will it work?
[21:20] <xangua> ankur: no
[21:20] <piyushmishra> is there anyway to keep my user specific settings or restore them from an old time?
[21:20] <xangua> ankur: only if you want to do a fresh install
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> or for more image viewers: http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/04/8-image-viewers-for-ubuntu.html
[21:21] <ankur> i am not getting
[21:21] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: sorry that wiki is too complex...
[21:21] <Jordan_U> ankur: Upgrading will take many times more downloading than a fresh install.
[21:21] <intrader> join #ubuntu-one
[21:21] <ankur> replacing kernel will work ?
[21:21] <ankur> :-/
[21:21] <odio> oCean: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /
[21:21] <odio> mount failed
[21:21] <ghostnik11> does anyone know how to enable a smcwusb-n2 wireless usb dongle as it works for like 5 secs then stops working, and checked smc website apparently they don't have driver support for linux 2.6, which i don't understand b/c it works by plugging it in, just stops working after couple of seconds
[21:22] <infectedbrain> erusul: its all about partitions though
[21:22] <ankur> i think it is a bad option to remove entire os just because to upgrade there should be any alternative...
[21:22] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: the line would look like this « /dev/sdb2 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0000,exec,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 »
[21:22] <ankur> can you please tell me where can i get alternative cds ?
[21:22] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: you have to create the mountpoint « sudo mkdir /media/windows »
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: if you run:   sudo lshw -C network; lsusb     then the product line will identify the chip, failing that the lsusb line hex ID will identify it, you can use that to find guides
[21:23] <gordonjcp> ankur: from the Ubuntu website
[21:23] <Michal31337> ActionParsnip: i cant download 1 folder coz i dont have acess and i can't get list of files in this folder
[21:23] <ankur> ohkkk
[21:23] <oCean> odio: I was just guessing the device, since I don't know the output of your fdisk -l command. If you have 2 drives, you should have a /dev/sda and a /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. You can paste the output of sudo fdisk -l at pastebin.com if you want us to have a look at it
[21:23] <dostokhan> ankur, you want to upgrade the os without installing the installed applications again?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> ankur: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/
[21:23] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: thanks
[21:23] <Jordan_U> ankur: There is an alternative, upgrading as explained @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades . It just requires more time and downloading.
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> Michal31337: then that's controlled on the server
[21:23] <ankur> yess
[21:23] <odio> oCean: that was the disk
[21:23] <odio> it matched the size
[21:24] <xangua> ankur: like i've told you you will need 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10 alternate, it's the same, Why don't you want to do a fresh install¿
[21:24] <dostokhan> ankur, is there any special reason for the upgrade or you just want to taste the new versions of ubuntu?
[21:24] <Jordan_U> ankur: Downloading the alternate CD will not save you any bandwidth over upgrading normally via the internet.
[21:24] <oCean> odio: if /dev/sdb1 is already mounted at /, then you are "on" that 2nd disk. Just type "mount" to see what partition is currently mounted
[21:24] <Michal31337> ActionParsnip: can i get that list by awk or something ?
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> Michal31337: not sure
[21:25] <infectedbrain> erusul: then add the /dev/sdb2 /media/windows ntfs-3g... to the fstab
[21:25] <ankur> just want to taste new version
[21:25] <ankur> no any special reason .... 9.4 is sufficient for my work
[21:26] <piyushmishra> my mouse works with alt key pressed by default. can anyone help me please. it works fine with another user
[21:26] <dostokhan> ankur,  then use virtualbox.
[21:26] <ankur> but i have made so much customization according to my need in it that's why i dont want to remove it
[21:26] <ankur> :(
[21:26] <piyushmishra> ankur, or make a fresh install and test on it
[21:27] <botcity> piyushmishra:  xinput
[21:27] <ankur> hmmm
[21:27] <ankur> ohkkk
[21:27] <piyushmishra> botcity: huh?
[21:27] <ankur> thank you all for you support
[21:27] <dostokhan> ankur,  virtualbox is an applications. it creates a virtual environment inside your current os.
[21:27] <ankur> :D
[21:27] <ankur> yeah i know that
[21:28] <dostokhan> ankur,  just google a little. you'll understand.
[21:28] <ankur> thanks
[21:28] <ankur> hmmm

[21:29] <cryptk> guntbert, I realize intrepid is EOL'd, hence wanting to upgrade it, lol
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> cryptk: I'd clean install you are 3 years behind, if you upgrade to Hardy you can jump straight to Lucid though but I recommend a clean install

[21:34] <infectedbrain> erusul: could this harm my windows hard drive
[21:34] <piyushmishra1> botcity: yes I have. I have also created a new user to check if I can use the mouse correctly there. It works fine there. it seems to have this alt+click problem on this account only
[21:35] <piyushmishra1> botcity: when I click anything it behaves as if alt were pressed by default. and when I actually press alt key, it works like being in normal state
[21:35] <Murchadh> Is it possible to disable window minimizing altogether for gnome?
[21:36] <piyushmishra1> botcity: I cannot make any sense out of the xinput guide you showed me

[21:41] <guntbert> itaylor57: he is gone
[21:41] <mongy> Im suddenly having problems with internet access on this netbook.  Ive had it a couple of years, works fine, and I actually use an interfaces file for my wifi connection as its faster for connecting.   I just reinstalled fresh copy of maverick, updated it all and then inserted my interfaces config, which is the same as this pc except for the ip address of course, but I cannot do anything but ping ip addresses and names, I cannot apt-get, I cannot wge
[21:41] <mongy> t anything unless I use network mahager?
[21:41] <itaylor57> guntbert: as usual I am late
[21:41] <botcity> piyushmishra1:  what is the mouse Logitech or standard?
[21:41] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: it just suddenly stopped and cut out on me, now i am back on my laptop, but is there any other way i can fix this problem since i don't have product id for it
[21:42] <piyushmishra1> botcity: microsoft basic optical mouse
[21:43] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: it's a pretty impressive problem
[21:43] <oCean> piyushmishra1: a new user does not have this issue right? Maybe compare files in homedir ~/.gconf/ like ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse ?
[21:43] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: I am a linux noob and this hurts oCean done that. they only have speed values different
[21:44] <snake__> I'm assuming it's impossible to change my partition from ext4 to ext3 without having to backup my files, or lose them. Am I correct?
[21:45] <oCean> piyushmishra1: ah, ok. Still, it must be an user-specific setting. Now figure out which :s
[21:45] <pienkie> I'm having some difficulty with a remote control (lirc: surprise-surprise!). does anyone have a good reference of how I can remove lirc, including all remnands of modules, so that I can do an install as if it was from scratch?
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: did the guides not show you how to set it up
[21:46] <piyushmishra1> oCean: its user specific for sure
[21:46] <pienkie> ...please?
[21:46] <snake__> pienkie, you mean completely remove the program and all files?
[21:46] <snake__> pienkie, all of the files it uses. (config files)
[21:46] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: well, create a completely clean new user
[21:47] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: *do not log in as this new user*
[21:47] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: ok
[21:47] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: go through each file in the new user's directory, and compare it with the one in your own directory
[21:47] <snake__> pienkie, am I correct?
[21:47] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: no guides right now i am reading a post in ubuntu france site forums using google translate and they said try different driver so i will try this carl9170  driver and see if it works
[21:48] <pienkie> hi snake__ : yes & no. I've done an `apt-get purge` of lirc & `dpkg —purge`of ay packacages related to lirc, but I also want to remove any & all kernel modules that may have been added along the way
[21:48] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: There are a lot of files extra on my user. its been here for some months now. and the other user I just created works fine so why do I need to create yet another user?
[21:48] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: if that doesn't do it, then log in as the new user, and try all the new files that have been created
[21:48] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: so you have a totally completely clean new user, without any of the files created when you first log in
[21:48] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: hmm
[21:49] <piyushmishra1> I already have a just loggen in user. lemme create a not logged in one
[21:49] <snake__> pienkie, not sure how to do that. Maybe I should considering I compiled my kernel custom :/
[21:50] <pienkie> snake__: thought abou thtat, but custom kernels are tricky to maintain across upgrades
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: could try ndisgtk + windows driver as well
[21:51] <snake__> I'm assuming it's impossible to change my partition from ext4 to ext3 without having to backup my files, or lose them. Am I correct?
[21:51] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: cool, will try right now
[21:51] <dostokhan> snake__,  yes. as far i know.
[21:52] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: oooh, just thought of another way
[21:52] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: create a new user as before
[21:52] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: yes and ?
[21:52] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: copy the config files across one at a time from your current user, until the same fault shows up
[21:53] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: gut feeling is that it's probably in one of the .gconf directories
[21:53] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: I would better make my settings again on the new user
[21:53] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: since i just downloaded through synaptic ndisgtk can i just put in the cd and try to get driver for windows off of there
[21:53] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: well, thats' the other way...
[21:53] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: will I have to re install all softwares I installed on this user ?
[21:54] <piyushmishra1> there's like a ton of things I'll need to configure
[21:54] <knight__> hi
[21:54] <gordonjcp> no, but you may need to tweak local configs
[21:54] <piyushmishra1> feeling like puking
[21:54] <tim167> hi, does anyone know a way to control a mac OSX computer remotely from ubuntu ?
[21:54] <tim167> like remote desktop where ubuntu is controller and OSX the slave ? :)
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: you need the .inf and the .sys from the driver
[21:54] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp:  btw does your xinput list show macintosh mouse button emulation?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> tim167: both OSes can use VNC, I'd try that
[21:55] <tim167> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> tim167: if you want control over WAN then use an SSH tunnel
[21:56] <tim167> ActionParsnip: it's a OSX computer in Berlin I have to control from ubuntu in Brussels
[21:56] <normal> Does the open-source ATI driver support ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145? I cannot enable Extra visual effects, and my display did not adjust to 1600x900
[21:56] <keith4> anyone know of an ubuntu mirror on I2?
[21:57] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: I found something perhaps I have an extra folder called mouse under peripherals in my current user
[21:57] <cousin_mario> hello
[21:57] <cousin_mario> can I use debian-multimedia packages on ubuntu?
[21:58] <keith4> why would you want to do that?
[21:58] <ierty> hi there
[21:58] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: maybe
[21:58] <cousin_mario> keith4: need a more recent version of libx264-devel
[21:58] <ZykoticK9> cousin_mario, not required.  ubuntu-restricted-extras and/or Medibuntu
[21:58] <ierty> is that onyone here ?
[21:58] <cousin_mario> ZykoticK9: couldn't find what I need in there:/
[21:58] <ierty> well is it possible to buy an IP ?
[21:59] <cousin_mario> ZykoticK9: perhaps I should look for a ppa
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> tim167: what are you wanting to achieve on the remote side?
[21:59] <ZykoticK9> cousin_mario, ya sorry, you hadn't posted the specific package requirement libx264-devel when i answered
[21:59] <knight__> can any one tall me how to pot ubuntu back to default .this is my first time using ubuntu and I did no how to use it I'm learning . if some would help me .you can E-mail  me at knightserenity@yahoo.com or tall me now
[21:59] <cousin_mario> ierty: what IP?
[21:59] <tim167> ActionParsnip: i have to help somebody configure some software and get it runnign
[22:00] <ierty> public ip
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> tim167: vnc isn't secure and all keypresses etc are sent in cleartext
[22:00] <ZykoticK9> knight__, seeing as this channel is logged, your email will now be picked up by spam bots :(
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> tim167: if they use a router they will need to setup port forwarding
[22:00] <piyushmishra> gordonjcp: naah
[22:00] <tim167> ActionParsnip:
[22:01] <tim167> ActionParsnip: hmm,  any other way you know of
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> knight__: if you rename all the config folders in home your user will get default settings. If you are meaning more than just looks and settings and are having issues with the packages then it involves more than that
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> tim167: not really, anything you put in place will need port forwarding on the router
[22:01] <intrader> I am using `gpg --gen-key` and ran into a phrase that is confusing 'Make sure that the name on the key is not a pseudonym, and that it matches the name in your passport, or other government issued photo-identification! You can add extra e-mail addresses to the key later.' Does it mean I should NOT use by real name (that in the passport)?
[22:01] <Wiesshund> lol
[22:02] <botcity> piyushmishra: maybe...  ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/
[22:02] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: okay i got the .inf file but everything else is in .exe form and i don't see any .sys file
[22:02] <Wiesshund> lol 1 day 14 hours remaining on upgrade. puter went into standby
[22:02] <israfel_> Is there any part of a user's home folder that isn't encrypted when the encryption is enabled? Because SSH keys are located in ~/.ssh/ and is unreadable unless the user is already logged in on the remote server.
[22:02] <mellin> Ok so I installed the clipart for use in open office from the software center. Where did it unpack the archive to default?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: do you mean autorun.inf ?
[22:03] <rubbs> israfel_: as far as I can tell if your home dir is encrypted, that user's home is encrypted.
[22:03] <mellin> BTW all the googled links I found had a database error so I couldn't find the information myself ;-)
[22:04] <mellin> ActionParsnip: How R ya?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> mellin: i'll be better in 9 hours :)
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> mellin: you ok
[22:05] <mellin> ActionParsnip: Yep thanks for askin'
[22:05] <DrGrov> Good evening
[22:05]  * mellin percieves that ActionParsnip must be at work....bummer
[22:05] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: actually when i use the windows driver install feature and select autorun.inf to install driver as the location it tells me its already installed, but that makes no sense to me
[22:05] <DrGrov> Quick question about GNOME Art downloading. I am downloading some splash screens and login managers. Where on earth do I change them in GNOME on Ubuntu 10.04? Or how do I change them to be more precise
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: its not that file, that file ONLY makes the CD autorun
[22:06] <piyushmishra> ActionParsnip: lol thanks gordonjcp I kinda fixed it deleted the .gconf folder. sadly I hadn't realised all visual settings are lost but its way better than having to hit alt all the time
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: run the executable with wine and it will extract
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: you may be able to use cabextract to extract it too
[22:07] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: okay will download wine right now and try
[22:07] <DrGrov> Anybody know?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: you can only change the background and the login box colour in the current ubuntu
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[22:08] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Ah ok. So no possibility to use GNOME art to get splash screens nor login managers? :(
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: if its just an image, then its fine
[22:08] <aeiou> how do i debu mysqld from starting (service)
[22:08] <aeiou> ive checked var/log/mysql/x and /var/log/syslog
[22:08] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: cool will get that also, hopefully b/4 the wireless usb cuts out again
[22:08] <DarkSkyGhost> ActionParsnip: install plymouth manager
[22:09] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks
[22:09] <DarkSkyGhost> tfu
[22:09] <DarkSkyGhost> To the other guy
[22:09] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Something to suggest to install from GNOME art?
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> DarkSkyGhost: i dont use plymouth
[22:10] <DarkSkyGhost> That was to DrGrov, sorry.
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: no idea, I dont play with themes much at all
[22:10] <DrGrov> DarkSkyGhost: Thanks, I catched it :)
[22:10] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Ok, I will try my best to find something attractive. The blackish style I have now irritates too much since I have the 42" tv as a computer screen
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: there are lots, there are even projects to make it look like macOS or Win7
[22:12] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: No thanks on the MacOS and Win7 :)
[22:12] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: The sole reason I got into Linux is to get rid of MacOS and Windows
[22:12] <aeiou> 110120 22:11:07 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address
[22:12] <aeiou> 110120 22:11:07 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
[22:12] <aeiou> why would mysql not be able to bind on that port?
[22:12] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: It seems like Ubuntu Tweak can also change my login background?
[22:12] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: But how is it that my 10.04 does have a different look on the login screen than 10.10?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: not sure, it's free to try though ;)
[22:13] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: It sure is, I love Ubuntu Tweak. It works out really well since I got some nice 3rd party repositories installed.
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> aeiou: then run:  ps -ef | grep mysql
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> aeiou: you can then kil the pid, or you can run:  sudo service mysql stop
[22:14] <aeiou> nope nothing
[22:14] <aeiou> there isnt a mysql process running
[22:14] <aeiou> any other reason it wouldnt be able to bind?
[22:15] <aeiou> could it be apparmour?
[22:15] <mehok> hey guys i am in a bind i am getting a perticular error when i want to launch an app trough wine in ubuntu 10.10 xmbc error 3 is all i see
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> mehok: have you asked in #wine
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> #winehq sorry
[22:16] <mehok> good idea
[22:17] <ierty> hi there
[22:17] <ierty> is that possible ?
[22:17] <mehok> hey guys bit of a bind here
[22:17] <mehok> i installed a windows app on ubuntu 10.10 but it comes out with an eooro on xmbc 3
[22:18] <intrader> I am using `gpg --gen-key`, gets to the point where it tells me that gpg-agent is not available. I use apt-get to install it.
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> mehok: have you checked the appdb for compatibility?
[22:19] <ierty> hi there
[22:19] <ierty> is it possible to launch xdispay on xdisplay ?
[22:21] <ierty> is there any bug here ?
[22:21] <gordonjcp> why the hell does jack depend on Qt?
[22:22] <mehok> no one is on the winehq chat that will help me
[22:22] <gordonjcp> ugh, bug
[22:23] <gordonjcp> hm, I get to choose between an ancient and buggy version of jack, or a broken package that wants to pull in a couple of GB of Qt dependencies
[22:24] <Praxi> Anyone decent with Fetchmail?  I have a ubuntu server 10.04 trying to setup Request Tracker on it.  The RT install went fine, but now I'm trying to setup fetchmail to connect to a local pop3 account on my exchange server.  My fetchmail log shows these errors http://pastie.org/1482493  I have verified the pop account works using thunderbird on a windows box.
[22:24] <Praxi> The errors are related to certs, I know the exchange server has a bad cert
[22:25] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: do you remember the command to launch an application from terminal and return the control to the terminal and not kill it when the terminal closes
[22:25] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: screen, maybe?
[22:25] <itaylor57> piyushmishra1: nhup
[22:26] <rumpe1> piyushmishra1, disown, maybe ?
[22:26] <itaylor57> piyushmishra1: nohup
[22:26] <itaylor57> piyushmishra1: nohup or screen will work
[22:26] <piyushmishra1> umm like matlab [command]
[22:26] <piyushmishra1> what was that
[22:26] <piyushmishra1> lemme try
[22:26] <mikkelbg> Hi, how can I take a backup of my SD card with bootloader so I can restore it later?
[22:27] <cache_surplus1> hi
[22:27] <Dakrav> does ubuntu 10.04 already have python 3 on it?
[22:28] <piyushmishra1> itaylor57 , rumpe1, gordonjcp nope. the command launched the application and then freed the terminal for me
[22:29] <rumpe1> piyushmishra1, what do you mean with "return the control to the terminal" ?
[22:29] <Dakrav> does ubuntu 10.04 have python 3 already on it?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> mikegerw1tz: partimage :)
[22:30] <piyushmishra1> rumpe1:  usually when you run something from the terminal, the application launches and then you cannot close the terminal as it will kill the process
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> !info python lucid
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> !info python3 lucid
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Dakrav: seems so
[22:30] <rumpe1> piyushmishra1, well.. .with screen or disown you can.
[22:31] <Dakrav> ActionParnsnip: thanks!
[22:32] <piyushmishra1> rumpe1: no both still keep it coupled
[22:32] <piyushmishra1> rumpe1: found it application &
[22:32] <rumpe1> piyushmishra1, ? ... what have you tried exactly?
[22:33] <piyushmishra1> in the terminal I was trying matlab screen
[22:33] <piyushmishra1> and matlab nohup
[22:33] <piyushmishra1> and matlab disown but matlab & worked
[22:34] <rumpe1> piyushmishra1, wrong order ....   then close the terminal and it will close matlab
[22:34] <rumpe1> piyushmishra1, try e.g. "matlab & disown"
[22:34] <Sharpclaw> Hey everybody! How's my Linux peeps doin'? Anyway, I'll cut strait to the point... Where do I get an ISO image? And... why does it have to be so big? LOL.
[22:34] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, ISO for what? Ubuntu?
[22:34] <rumpe1> piyushmishra1, or "screen matlab"
[22:34] <Sharpclaw> Yup.
[22:35] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, the website..
[22:36] <Sharpclaw> Nice. If I use Unetbootin do I still need an ISO image?
[22:36] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, whats Unetbootin?
[22:37] <Sharpclaw> It's a tool you use to get like Linux on your USB stick or CD drive. (I'm takin' that as a no...)
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> Sharpclaw: you can use the minuimal ISO which is 12Mb but you will simply be installing the debss from the repos to install the OS
[22:37] <KM0201> cellardoor: it's to put an ubuntu CD ISO onto a thumb drive.... and make the thumb drive bootable.. it's pretty handy
[22:37] <eriverag> hwllo
[22:38] <eriverag> hello
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> Sharpclaw: yes, unetbootin simply puts the ISO onto the USB storage in an appropriate way. You can use the 1-2-3 installer (if you use Windows) which will download and MD5 test the ISO for you
[22:38] <eriverag> Recently configure apache with modules davfs, and ssl and .htaccess, in a folder called share ... everything works fine on the local network and internet, using WebDAV clients.  But when I go with Firefox to https: / /192.168.221.125 /share... identification does not ask me to login and allows me to see contents of the folder (I know cannot be edited) even download files.  I need this folder is not accessible only by WebDAV (for se
[22:38] <Sharpclaw> ActionParsnip, Wait, what? slow down. I'm a total newb at this.
[22:38] <Varc> Hey guys, one ask. What mean or how can i know my: IRC Network
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> Sharpclaw: the 1-2-3 app can be told to download the ISO and MD5 test it, then put it on the USB storage, all in one app
[22:39] <cellardoor> KM0201, learn something new everyday :)
[22:39] <piyushmishra1> rumpe1: none works if I make it into a shortcut
[22:39] <piyushmishra1> :(
[22:39] <KM0201> cellardoor: it's a pretty awesome tool actualy, i use it to make bootable usb's of various distros all the time
[22:39] <Sharpclaw> Ok, will 1-2-3 make the ISO download faster, like smaller iso?
[22:39] <Guest87822> Argh
[22:39] <bc81> is there a good tutorial for connecting to another ubuntu machine with vnc over a secured connection?  it's my understanding that VNC protocol is insecure
[22:39] <cellardoor> KM0201, all my laptops are old and run standard ubuntu ;D never had a BIOS modern enough to boot from USB
[22:39] <Guest87822> this is impossible.
[22:40] <Gryllida> What exactly does chmod 0751 stand for, please?
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> Sharpclaw: no, it just pulls down the file for you, its still ~700mb
[22:40] <Varc> Cool noboddy help :(
[22:40] <KM0201> cellardoor: lol, only one of my machines wil boot usb, all the others requier a cd. :)
[22:40] <Guest87822> whut?
[22:40] <KM0201> Sharpclaw: the torrents are usually pretty fast, which ISO are you trying to download?
[22:40] <Sharpclaw> :P that stinks. Dial-up is so slow with this stuff... 194 HRS!!
[22:40] <galanakis> I need drivers for a GMA500, can someone help?
[22:40] <ubun> how do you stop recording with desktop recorder... i started but dont know how to stop it.
[22:41] <Sharpclaw> KM0201, Ubuntu 10.10.
[22:41] <KM0201> Sharpclaw: 194hrs?  thats crazy...
[22:41] <cellardoor> ubun right click the icon in the top right corner
[22:41] <eriverag> Recently configure apache with modules davfs, and ssl and .htaccess, in a folder called share ... everything works fine on the local network and internet, using WebDAV clients.

[22:41] <Sharpclaw> KM0201, That's dial-up for ya!
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> Sharpclaw: try torrents, much faster and resumable
[22:41] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, dial up costs money doesnt it? just go to a library and use their wifi :P
[22:41] <Guest87822> ò_ó
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> Sharpclaw: what country are you in?
[22:41] <KM0201> Sharpclaw: yeah, i woud try the torrents, and like ActionParsnip said.. faster, and you can pause/resume them.
[22:42] <cellardoor> Guest87822, !google
[22:42] <Sharpclaw> USA
[22:42] <cellardoor> wait
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> Sharpclaw: or you could ask a buddy to pull a CD ISO down for you
[22:42] <ubun> cellardoor: oh ok its like a checkbox... wow i was recording 4 at a time.... thanks man
[22:42] <cellardoor> !google | Guest87822
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> Sharpclaw: dang, if you were UK based I'd post you one
[22:42] <cellardoor> Guest87822, I cant remember the command, point is, google (Y)
[22:42] <cellardoor> ubun thats ok :)
[22:43] <Gryllida> !google
[22:43] <Sharpclaw> ok, KM0201. But, the roads are soooo dangerous. I would not go out for a million US dollars.
[22:43] <Guest87822> lol
[22:43] <rww> ... you just called a factoid saying not to tell people to Google stuff... and then told someone to google stuff. nice.
[22:43] <KM0201> Sharpclaw: wel, you may wanna watch a youtube video or something..lol
[22:43] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, what about a million of my lovely british ones?
[22:43] <Guest87822> who here knows anything about NTFS?
[22:43] <Sharpclaw> Am ugh... I the only one from the US here.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest87822: in what sense
[22:44] <Sharpclaw> cellar, nope. Gosh, I am the only American here, aren't I?
[22:44] <xangua> Sharpclaw: here are people from all over the world
[22:44] <metric> is there an easy way to share a printer through a ubuntu?
[22:44] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, hell yeah!
[22:44] <Sharpclaw> Lot's of activity here.
[22:44] <Sharpclaw> ...
[22:45] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, well there is over 1520 users in this chatroom alone :P
[22:45] <stefan__> Hi I try to install telnetd at ubuntu 10.10 using xinetd
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> metric: cups will do it or you can samba share them
[22:45] <Guest87822> ActionParseNip: as in disros successfully running on NTFS platforms on partitions.
[22:45] <ubu_ply> Can anyone tell me why Scribus isn't using the theme that I set?
[22:45] <eriverag> Recently configure apache with modules davfs, and ssl and .htaccess, in a folder called share ... everything works fine on the local network and internet, using WebDAV clients.  But when I go with Firefox to https: / /192.168.221.125 /share... identification does not ask me to login and allows me to see contents of the folder (I know cannot be edited) even download files.  I need this folder is not accessible only by WebDAV (for se
[22:45] <Sharpclaw> Woah. did you count? LOL.
[22:45] <Guest87822> 123
[22:45] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, Xchat tells me
[22:45] <Guest87822> Xchat?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> metric: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP
[22:46] <Daekdroom> Xchat is a IRC client.
[22:46] <Guest87822> Oh.
[22:46] <Sharpclaw> Xchat, xchat, xchat. Never heard of it.
[22:46] <Daekdroom> It's the most commonly used in ubuntu along irssi.
[22:46] <Guest87822> lol
[22:46] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome ;)
[22:46] <Guest87822> thanks parnip.
[22:46] <Daekdroom> No, not xchat-gnome!
[22:46] <rww> xchat-gnome isn't xchat.
[22:46] <Daekdroom> original xchat :|
[22:46] <rww> ^
[22:46] <KipMacy> irssi is all you need
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Guest87822: NTFS is too primitive to hold Linux permissions. Are you meaning Wubi?
[22:46] <Daekdroom> but then it is a matter of opinion.
[22:46] <cellardoor> I run the gnome version..
[22:46] <Sharpclaw> So, what program makes Ubunut boot in 5 seconds?
[22:47] <Guest87822> YOU, bun. U.
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> Pidgin here (irssi currently due to being at work)
[22:47] <stefan__> can someone help me to install telnet Server ?
[22:47] <Mrokii> I use weechat.
[22:47] <Guest87822> boo sweetpi
[22:47] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, not a program lol, a LOT of work,
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> stefan__: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-a-telnet-server-in-ubuntu.html
[22:47] <vanguard> stefan__: are you totally sure that you do not want to use SSH instead of telnet?
[22:47] <cellardoor> Daekdroom, they both seem roughly the same to me
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> stefan__: I recommend you use openssh-server instead. Telnet has zero security
[22:47] <vanguard> is there an Exchange Calendar client for Linux?
[22:47] <stefan__> thank's start reading :-)
[22:48] <vanguard> ActionParsnip: :)
[22:48] <Sharpclaw> Oh... again, tooootall newbie! Waiting for a time when the roads won't kill me to get to a hotspot.
[22:48] <cellardoor> stefan__, agreed
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: sunbird possibly
[22:48] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, you live in... Canada?! xD
[22:48] <Sharpclaw> Cellardoor, I already said where I live...
[22:48] <Guest87822> Bieberite.

[22:49] <bc81> hi.  i'm trying to VNC to another ubuntu machine..how do i do it securely?

[22:49] <vanguard> ActionParsnip: isn't sunbird superseeded by thunderbird+lightning?
[22:49] <Guest87822> whoa
[22:49] <bc81> thanks ActionParsnip
[22:49] <Sharpclaw> Yeah, I need another monotor. Might use the extra one. :P

[22:50] <punjabdapunk> Noob, me... I've got ubuntu server 10.04 installed and have open-ssh server running. Occasionally, when I ssh into my server it refuses connection. Can anyone suggest which log to look in to find the cause?
[22:50] <ubu_ply> Can anyone tell me why Scribus isn't using the theme that I set?
[22:50] <rww> Guest87822: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support questions, not nonsense.
[22:50] <IcyFlamez> i need help, i have the accessability for my mouse to use my keyboard numpad as my mouse. when i hit 5 now, its not a left click anymore, its shows up a right click menu. could anyone help me? it worked with a restart last time that happened but i dont really want to do that at the moment
[22:50] <Guest87822> i know.
[22:50] <Daekdroom> !guidelines | Guest87822
[22:51] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, you have good port 22 settings in your router? and you use the correct username to login each time?
[22:51] <punjabdapunk> Yes... that's correct.
[22:51] <Sharpclaw> Say, can I use Windows mice with Ubuntu. Or like, my touch pad. I'm afraid Ubuntu won't recognize them.
[22:51] <stefan__> telnetd don't start because "sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart" don't exist
[22:51] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, does it say something like... Conection Refused Port 22: Remote Host Closed the Connection?
[22:51] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: sorry I am taking long but everytime i tried getting wine on it, the wireless usb would cut out so, i have to try and find my usb ethernet then will download wine and let you know if it works, but in the mean time i actually booted in windows xp partition and can say that the wireless usb actually works so once these stupid windows updates actually finish downloading and installing i will boot back into lubuntu
[22:51] <ghostnik11> 10.10
[22:51] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, and are you using terminal to connect?
[22:52] <punjabdapunk> Yes... it does.
[22:52] <killaz> hi anyone know  whats the command to compile on mingw32  from terminal ?
[22:52] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, that is a problem with either your underlying network e.g router but more probably a fault in your ssh... try running the following in termianl
[22:52] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server
[22:53] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, and run
[22:53] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, rm -rf ~/.ssh / on the machine you are using to try and connect to the server
[22:53] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, then run sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[22:53] <Guest87822> ooh, take the punjabpunk and run
[22:53] <stefan__> ssh is no option  I must acess the system using a embeded system without ssh
[22:53] <punjabdapunk> I do start my server via wake on lan. Sometimes I wait 20 mins before ssh in. Do you think the server goes into suspend or something similar?
[22:53] <punjabdapunk> I'll try your suggestion now....
[22:54] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, that sounds very likely actually
[22:54] <Guest87822> Anyone know how to run ubuntu on a cassiopeia?
[22:54] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, though I wouldnt know about how to go about fixing something like that..
[22:54] <Guest87822> Anyone know how to run ubuntu on a cassiopeia?
[22:54] <stefan__> ssh is no option I need telnet server because I use a embedde system
[22:55] <punjabdapunk> Any ideas about how I can find someone who does?
[22:56] <cellardoor> punjabdapunk, try ubuntuforums
[22:56] <punjabdapunk> Cool... thanks for your help. Later
[22:56] <mehok> anyone here considder them selves good at xbmc player for linux

[22:57] <NotBot> Anyone have a noob question?
[22:57] <mehok> i want to crack it and get what ever is in this windows setup into my linux xbmc player
[22:58] <Guest87822> lawl
[22:58] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor thank you kindly.. http://pastebin.com/0JWNHVtK i included some other info that might be needed..
[22:58] <Arisan> Good afternoon, #ubuntu. I'm wondering if it's possible to bring up the terminal that was SSHd into from the client computer as the client has crashed and the process is still running and I'd like to control it locally?
[22:58] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, please hold the line as it were.. ;)
[22:58] <Sharpclaw> Notbot, here's one... Should I chose Ubuntu or Xubuntu?
[22:58] <mehok> i know for a fact they are useing xbmc as a bace
[22:58] <scarface> I'm on 10.10... looking for a GUI hardware/device manager that can show info about my system.  I had thought there would be something for this under System | Administration menu, but I don't see anything that looks right.
[22:59] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, okay wow.. err start with... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[22:59] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, let me know when that command is completed
[22:59] <shadaloo> hi
[22:59] <shadaloo> audio isn't working
[22:59] <shadaloo> how to restart
[22:59] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor i see i didnt realize that was a sugested command .. (still learning)
[23:00] <martin__> hi all
[23:00] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, no worries :) just stick it in terminal and press enter :)
[23:00] <vanguard> how can I do the apostrophe sign (not the one on the #-key)
[23:00] <galanakis> how do i get a resolution that isn't in the GUI's list
[23:00] <shadaloo> how to restart audio?
[23:00] <shadaloo> !alsa
[23:00] <Sharpclaw> Coding... How do I code into Ubuntu?
[23:00] <vanguard> Sharpclaw: which language do you want to code in?
[23:00] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, so many ways...
[23:00] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor rgr that.. just had the adduser screen and a few other prompts runing it now
[23:01] <vanguard> Sharpclaw: C++, C, Java, Python, Ruby, TCL/TK, ...
[23:01] <mehok> anyone
[23:01] <SDr> Sharpclaw, madness lies that way
[23:01] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor does it matter were i make the apparmor dir location.. should it be root or home etc?
[23:01] <vanguard> Sharpclaw: classic is C or C++ with the GTK+ framework
[23:01] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, who do you intend to run it as :P
[23:01] <SDr> Sharpclaw, you're going to stay awake until 6am, sometimes not sleeping at all
[23:01] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor rgr that
[23:01] <SDr> Sharpclaw, be very, very afraid.
[23:01] <Sharpclaw> Um... well, C++. I mean like, changing Ubuntu. Still learning Python with Blender 3D.
[23:02] <Sharpclaw> SDr. I've coded in C++ before. Be quiet, please.
[23:02] <ubu_ply> Can anyone tell me why Scribus isn't using the theme that I set?
[23:02] <shadaloo> hi
[23:02] <shadaloo> I cannot hear
[23:02] <shadaloo> no audio
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> !sound | shadaloo
[23:02] <shadaloo> how to fix?
[23:03] <Sharpclaw> ubottu, Did'nt you already say that?
[23:03] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, something tells me that if you have to ask questions like these.. you really aren't up to it. There is no way to modify 'Ubuntu' as such. Ubuntu is a collective of so much open-source software. You can probably hack about with individual components however
[23:03] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, though unless you really know what you are doing, you will probably just damage things
[23:03] <idar> I am having some trouble compiling apps on Ubuntu, I have installed build-essentials and the necessary dev libs. But i get lots of errors in stdio.h and other header files in libc. Can anyone help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/556232/
[23:04] <Sharpclaw> Umm... then why is it open-source if I can't change it? That's kinda... UGH!
[23:04] <cellardoor> idar, what program are you trying to install
[23:04] <idar> cellardoor: FakeXinerama, but it happends with most c apps.
[23:04] <cellardoor> Sharpclaw, oh you can change and rebuild and modify the package by all means.. but I suggest you do a lot of reading first and decide why you would want to do it
[23:04] <Ricky_> Good evening, gents!
[23:05] <cellardoor> idar, there is no debian based package for it?
[23:05] <idar> cellardoor: no
[23:05] <estacion03> can anyone help me change the uri of my printer?
[23:05] <idar> cellardoor: should be fairly easy to compile though
[23:05] <cellardoor> idar, Indeed, but I can't really make out much from that paste unfortunately
[23:06] <RickyHarline> Hey, can I get a gent to be so kind as to offer me some advice on an Ubuntu install issue I'm having?
[23:06] <Sharpclaw> Oh. Well, then... cool. Also, (Lol, I wont stop!) Can I just download 1 iso image, copy it to my USB and boot or do I have to extract?
[23:06] <cellardoor> idar, what I can tell.. is its a problem with the .C files
[23:06] <vanguard> Sharpclaw: You can change it all you want, but the official Ubuntu release managers will not publish your changes :)
[23:06] <vanguard> Sharpclaw: You have to burn the ISO onto the CD using a disk buring program
[23:06] <cellardoor> idar, the header files are incomplete or somehow damaged? is the software actively maintained?
[23:07] <Sharpclaw> vanguard, Yeah. imma on my own for posting.
[23:07] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor i am still runing that command.. may i ask what line you saw that error at .. i dont see it my self.. i must be blind.. felt kinda dumb that you saw something so fast that i completly over looked.. but looking back at hte pastebin im not seeing what line entry has that sugested command to run
[23:07] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor or did you just know that was the command needed?
[23:07] <Sharpclaw> Like, Unetbootin or that other one I just downloaded a while ago...
[23:07] <idar> cellardoor: I just tried with a helloworld app and it failed when i included stdio.h
[23:07] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, its not an error, but it often helps to rebuild certain parts of the package management system.. I saw several breaks in that paste.. I will recommend running a 'check for updates' too at some point
[23:08] <cellardoor> idar, can you get a replacement of that file anywhere?
[23:08] <idar> cellardoor: Its an uptodate maverick system
[23:08] <estacion03> I have one ubuntu comp hooked up to my pc with a printer and it works fine my other unbuntu (a carbon copy) will not print the uri are different any thoughts
[23:08] <cellardoor> idar, stdio.h doesnt come with ubuntu if thats what you are implying.. it needs to be present in the directory you are trying to compile in
[23:08] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor understood... so you saw dpk errors and such so that = that sugestion.. sry just trying to understand and learn how to trouble shoot more etc.. and you think after this a sudu apt-get update would be in order?
[23:09] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, thats perfectly fine, I love people who like to learn :) absolutely! you get it! :) rebuild and collate the packaging system, then run an update and see how it fares this time
[23:09] <idar> cellardoor: it comes with libstdc++6-4.3-dev
[23:10] <idar> cellardoor: a damnit there is a lib32stdc++6 in here too
[23:10] <cellardoor> idar, you using the wrong one? ;)
[23:10] <Sharpclaw> Can I "Try" Ubuntu more than once?
[23:10] <RickyHarline> Well, perhaps someone may know what my problem is:  I go to install Ubuntu and there's a text thing that shows up first after the motherboard POST that says all the Linux OS info and then there's a screen with a small logo at the bottom, and then it sits there for ten seconds or so and then goes to a flashing cursor where it sits for infinity.  Can't find any solutions online...
[23:10] <idar> cellardoor: probably
[23:10] <cellardoor> idar, what architecture are you running on?
[23:10] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor thank ya ill let ya know how it turns out.. i have another weird problem and would like to learn how to address it but ill wait till after this issue.. unless your leaving soon *)
[23:10] <idar> cellardoor: 64bits
[23:11] <itaylor57> cellardoor: stdio.h is present on my system
[23:11] <Traintop> Hi Folks!
[23:11] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor do i want to launch byobu at shell log on ?? i dont even know what that is
[23:11] <cellardoor> RickyHarline, try pressing 'Ctrl-Alt-F1' when that situation arises, may switch you to a login prompt
[23:11] <idar> itaylor57: its pretty standard
[23:11] <RickyHarline> Hi!
[23:11] <wedwo-> Sharpclaw, yes, till the CD wears out
[23:11] <Traintop> I try to rotate my bg-image from a shell-script; I use gconftool-2 --set ....
[23:11] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, no i have time :) and byobu?! what is that? :P
[23:11] <Guest87822> !compiz
[23:11] <gulum> i tried setting a new startup launcher for conky -c ~/conky/conkyrc_orange but it keeps giving me the simple conky (it is not refering to the arguments im giving it). why is that?
[23:11] <idar> Is there a command to figure out which package a file comes from?
[23:11] <mehok> one question guys where does xbmc player install on ubuntu
[23:11] <Guest87822> best
[23:11] <Traintop> If I gconftool-2 --dump the change in displayed
[23:11] <Guest87822> bot
[23:11] <Guest87822> evuh
[23:12] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor i have a prompts in my termal after runing that command you gave me adn its asking me that question
[23:12] <cellardoor> idar, make sure its the right version...
[23:12] <Traintop> but not in the UI and the actual image also does not change
[23:12] <Traintop> any ideas?
[23:12] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, oh I get you.. you got skype?
[23:12] <RickyHarline> cellardoor, thanks, I'll see what I can do
[23:12] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor its a package cfg terminal screen asking "do you want to launch byobu at shell login for all users" negative i do not have skype
[23:13] <geirha> Traintop: Does it work if you do the same change in gconf-editor?
[23:13] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor ill just say no at this point
[23:13] <furi> guys, i've been trying to get ET to work with sound, but it says that /dev/dsp doesn't exist. what can i do about this?
[23:13] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, errr do you think you had it before? if not probably best to say no :)
[23:13] <Cpt_Zyph> no i know its a fresh install of only 2 3 days ago.. and thus far no skype install on this netbook for me
[23:14] <Traintop> geirha: mom, testing
[23:14] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, answer the questions as best you can :)
[23:14] <NotBot> mom?
[23:14] <Sharpclaw> got to go. Thanks.
[23:15] <exutux> moment i think NotBot
[23:15] <Traintop> NotBot: short for "one moment please"
[23:15] <Traintop> geirha: same behavior it seems like gconftool and gconf-editor use 2 different databases...
[23:16] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor it appears as the internet says its a scrip feature for command prompts arch battery cpu count cpu freq date other ................ " warpper scrpit for seeding a users byobu configuration and launching screen" pass for me
[23:16] <tehan> !players
[23:16] <geirha> Traintop: So doing it in gconf-editor works, but gconftool doesn't?
[23:16] <Traintop> NotBot: I heard that this abbreviation is only common under german mmorpg-players... :-)
[23:16] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, ah... if you were okay without it before.. you are now? ;)
[23:16] <geirha> Traintop: If so, how are you running the script? Is it a cronjob?
[23:16] <Traintop> geirha: no, both don't work
[23:16] <cache_surplus1> yawn
[23:16] <Traintop> geirha: only works by using UI
[23:17] <geirha> Traintop: Oh. Hm. Maybe you're changing something in metacity while using compiz or vice versa?
[23:17] <furi> guys, i've been trying to get ET to work with sound, but it says that /dev/dsp doesn't exist. what can i do about this?
[23:17] <Traintop> geirha: compiz is running for blingbling... :-)
[23:17] <gulum> i have set conky -c ~/.conky/conkyrc_orange in my startup application as a command and it keeps calling conky on startup, as it had no parameters. why?
[23:18] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor man this is a long fix command im likign what its steping me through.. while this is going ill just prep with.. this dell mini9 seems to lock at random.. i was told before my wl adapter driver could be the root of hte issue.. i was stumped and did a fresh install with hardwire update so the wifi would work.. (unlike last time i manualy downloaded it) it seemed better but started up once again and i cant figure out why
[23:18] <trism> furi: you can attempt to run it with padsp
[23:18] <geirha> Traintop: For a quick and dirty way to see what doing it with the UI changes, do the change in the UI, then run  find ~ -mmin -2  to see what files have been changed in the last two minutes.
[23:18] <trism> furi: I don't know what ET is though
[23:19] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, is the driver one Ubuntu is using by default.. or a windows one you have added on?
[23:19] <ubu_ply> Can anyone tell me why Scribus isn't using the theme that I set?
[23:19] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor deffently not a windows one.. it dosnt work out of fresh install but i plug into hardwire after update.. the additonal drivers option pops up and i select between the 2 new entries both seem to work tho last time i used B43 and was told that was no good so im doing the STA driver this go around
[23:20] <Cpt_Zyph> cedllardoor one sec tryin gto figure out what option is being changed for the altgr key replacement window i have up atm
[23:20] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, and it is still looking up? and ok
[23:20] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor yep .. completly random too..
[23:20] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, thats another problem for another time I think.... lets get these updates sorted first
[23:21] <idar> IS there a way to put apt-get packages list back to ubuntu stock list? Remove everything i have installed?
[23:21] <furi> trism, i mean wolfenstein enemy territory
[23:21] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor rgr that
[23:21] <cellardoor> idar, essentially, no :/ why do you need that?
[23:21] <inashdeen> hi, need some help, a new spanish ubuntu user need help on using graphic card XFX Radeon HD 5670
[23:21] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor my guess is the default for this option "Alt-gr key" should be right alt??
[23:21] <idar> cellardoor: becuase i have fucked up the dev packages somehow
[23:21] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: you told me to get cabextract? i am trying to remember what else you told me to get as i just finished downloading wine
[23:21] <inashdeen> this guy is like super new, and i cant speak spanish, he need a personal help rather than on irc chat
[23:21] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, thats correct
[23:22] <Traintop> geirha: ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml is changed
[23:22] <furi> trism, it says "sorry, but your soundcard can't do this"
[23:22] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor and if i have a function key is that effected in anyway?
[23:22] <inashdeen> cellardoor: mind ur language please
[23:22] <cellardoor> idar, its ok.. what are their full names? just search them.. right click.. 'completely remove' apply
[23:22] <cellardoor> inashdeen, that wasnt me... that was idar talking TO me
[23:22] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: actually i got it already, it was cabextract
[23:23] <gordonjcp> inashdeen: mind your spelling, please
[23:23] <estacion03> can anyone help with printer networking?
[23:23] <geirha> Traintop: Aha, then I guess your script needs to edit that file instead, then.
[23:23] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, shouldnt be..
[23:23] <idar> cellardoor: i have no idea what makes this not work, but install build-essential should be able to compile a c file with a main method.
[23:23] <cellardoor> idar, normally you dont even need that... hmm... no guides for it anywhere out there?
[23:23] <idar> cellardoor: I never had any problems compiling stuff on Gentoo. :(
[23:23] <Traintop> geirha: so you do not recommend using gconftool? -I thought this should be the script-interface to gnome-settings?
[23:23] <trism> furi: have you tried looking here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory
[23:24] <cellardoor> idar, opposite here, I could never get the bleedin xserver to ever start up :P
[23:24] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor dang... whats the compose key.. ??
[23:24] <idar> cellardoor: hehe :)
[23:24] <inashdeen> cellardoor: sorry. confused, tell him/her then'
[23:24] <inashdeen> gordonjcp: thanks mate
[23:24] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, probably a key like 'notepad' or something that WOULD start up a customised text entry on Windows.. I think.. it was once a windows laptop?
[23:24] <ratcheer> estacion03: What do you need?
[23:24] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, if you can 'ignore' it thats probably best
[23:25] <geirha> Traintop: Well, it's mostly a bit of a mess there. Most core gnome tools do use gconf, but apparently not all.
[23:25] <cellardoor> idar, I built everything perfectly.. then voomph... 'No screens found'.. funny... how was it telling me that? ;)
[23:25] <estacion03> i want to change the url setting of my device
[23:25] <furi> trism, already looked there
[23:25] <Jordan_U> idar: Can you pastebin your hello_world.c and the exact error from "gcc hello_world.c"?
[23:25] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor its a dell mini that came with windows but its got a mini netbook keyboard so it has the default ctrl , Fn, win, alt layout and on the right side is a right click key then arrows
[23:25] <estacion03> ratcheer, also figure out why one of my two identical ubuntu systems wont print on my network when the other one will
[23:26] <Traintop> geirha: thanks a lot, now I gonna dig into that xml-file... :-)
[23:26] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, just try and ignore the 'compose' key :P
[23:26] <ratcheer> estacion03: I'm not sure. Are you trying to print to a printer on another machine, but on the same network?
[23:26] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor nod.. sry just didnt want to break my keyboard setup and then later on this week notice and not know hwo to repair it
[23:26] <estacion03> yes
[23:27] <idar> Jordan_U: two sec
[23:27] <estacion03> ratcheer, like i said one works the other doesn{t
[23:27] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, no worries :) don't worry you are not doing anything wrong by asking :)
[23:27] <ratcheer> estacion03: Are they all on the same workgroup?
[23:27] <estacion03> ratcheer, the only dif i see is the url of the device
[23:27] <RickyHarline> GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SGLKJSLJKDSLJHRUIWHRQIOUHEOUPIQWEHIOUQPEH!)@#U)*!@HJ$@OI#HR%
[23:27] <estacion03> ratcheer, yes
[23:27] <cellardoor> !spam | RickyHarline
[23:27] <Jordan_U> RickyHarline: Please don't do that again.
[23:28] <Phantomgreen> Hi.
[23:28] <RickyHarline> Yessir
[23:28] <idar> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556359/
[23:28] <estacion03> ratcheer, another strange thing is one system found the exact model of my printer and the other didnt
[23:28] <ratcheer> estacion03: Just a sec, I'm going to look at mine.
[23:28] <ghostnik11> does anyone know how to get a driver to work with in wine, but the driver is in the cd rom or D: drive
[23:28] <estacion03> ok
[23:28] <inashdeen> ok, te guy just defriend me form fb, not sure whether he got help or not :-(. too sad we lost a potential ubuntu user
[23:28] <tensorpudding> ghostnik11: you have the driver on a cd?
[23:28] <cellardoor> ghostnik11, you don't need wine.. look into ndiswrapper, it can integrate windows drivers into linux
[23:29] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor ok doing an update now
[23:29] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor seems fine now *)
[23:29] <idar> Jordan_U: any idea what wrong with my stdio.h file?
[23:29] <RickyHarline> I will now say the same thing in a non-spammy way:  I have installed Linux about ten or twelve times, and I have never had any sort of issue with the installation.  Indeed, the installation gliding through easily in a contempt mockery of other operating systems is one thing I like very much about Linux.
[23:29] <idar> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556359/
[23:29] <ghostnik11> cellardoor: thanks, but the thing is that the driver with ndiswrapper doesn't work when i use the auto.inf file it gives me an error
[23:30] <RickyHarline> So why then does my cursed laptop refuse to let me install the easiest to install operating system on the planet?
[23:30] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, okay, now run sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:30] <ratcheer> estacion03: Mine don't use url's, they are using "smb:", which probably means Samba. Are yours like that?
[23:30] <ghostnik11> tensorpudding: yeah it is on cd but comes in exe files for windowns
[23:30] <tensorpudding> ndiswrapper doesn't work on all drivers
[23:30] <tensorpudding> you might be out of luck
[23:30] <cellardoor> ghostnik11, have a google about mate.. search "Ubuntu + Ndiswrapper" there will be loads of people with the same troubles as you
[23:30] <Phantomgreen> I have been using ubuntu since 8.04 and have ran into a few issue but overall it's not enough to make me not want to not use it.
[23:30] <estacion03> ratcheer. the one that works is like urs, the other is using an ip address
[23:31] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor done no errors
[23:31] <estacion03> ratcheer,  i figured that was the problem i just cant find a way to change it
[23:31] <ghostnik11> tensorpudding: nah i will figure it out, this is ubuntu and linux nothing is impossible
[23:31] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, is that all okay now then? :)
[23:31] <cellardoor> ghostnik11, good words!
[23:31] <ratcheer> estacion03: Sorry, I really don't know.
[23:31] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor i believe soo thank ya vmuch for that.. i did it a 2nd time no hang ups
[23:31] <estacion03> ratcheer, anywhere you can direct me to?
[23:31] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, there ya go, up to date :) now what was this you mentioned about the wireless drivers causing lockups?
[23:32] <tensorpudding> ghostnik11: it's always possible for you to write your own drivers
[23:32] <estacion03> ratcheer, ubuntu server said this would be the place for answers?
[23:32] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor well i asked a while ago and showed someone my dmesg log and they said OOoOo yoru wireless driver sucks thats prob why its locking up.. and thats about as far as that got.. 8/
[23:32] <ratcheer> estacion03: It may be easier to get an answer on ubuntuforums.org
[23:32] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor so i couldnt
[23:32] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: well, what is your wireless device?
[23:32] <RickyHarline> So gents, I was able to get so far as the screen where it asks if I would like to install Ubuntu or try the live version, after which it goes to the blinking cursor from hell.  I humbly ask for any input anyone may have.  At the cursor del diablo Ctrl Alt F1 is of no use, also.
[23:33] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, open 'Advanced Drivers' from System>Administration, and tell me which wireless driver you are running, and your notebook model
[23:33] <ghostnik11> tensorpudding: okay, never thought of that will look that up in google and see if i can, if i don't get it to work with wine
[23:33] <estacion03> ratcheer, thats why im here i cant seem to find it there
[23:34] <DexterF> heya
[23:34] <gmg> can anyone tell me which remote desktop software is easy to use to automaticly log into a machine (linux to linux)
[23:34] <Cpt_Zyph> well in the additonal drivers window it currently has the Broadcom STA driver activated and the b43 not activated
[23:34] <DexterF> how can I force the monitor to run at 50Hz instead of 60?
[23:34] <DexterF> nvidia-glx driver
[23:34] <tensorpudding> ghostnik11: i was somewhat joking, writing device drivers for linux requires a good bit of knowledge
[23:34] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: lol, those devices work fine w/ Linux.. who on earth tod you it was "bad"... do you know which broadcom you have?
[23:34] <cellardoor> tensorpudding, was gonna say..
[23:35] <tensorpudding> it's not at all impossible though
[23:35] <almoxarife> I have a html page I want to serve, it is a simple links page, nothing complicated, is there a webserver app that is simple/lite ??
[23:35] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, which model of notebook?
[23:35] <DexterF> gmg: do you mean to remotely operate the login screen or make a remote session?
[23:35] <ratcheer> estacion03: I would try deleting that printer, making sure the Samba config specifies the correct workgroup, and then add the printer, again. Making sure it is added as a Samba connection.
[23:35] <ghostnik11> tensorpudding: doesn't matter how long it will take, as long as i can read the information, i might be able to get it to work
[23:35] <Cpt_Zyph> according to lspci i have a braodcom corp bcm4312 which every guide says simply install.. plug in .. update preto. which is what i did and im on wifi with it now working fine
[23:35] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor dell mini vostro 9
[23:35] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: i just helped someone set that device up yesterday or the day before... i think it needs the b43
[23:36] <tensorpudding> if you have the specs for your device, maybe it would not be so difficult, but reverse-engineering is really painful
[23:36] <KM0201> !broadcom | Cpt_Zyph
[23:36] <gmg> to make a remote session..i need to log into a linux system automaticly any time of the day.
[23:36] <benfclark> Cpt_Zyph, good computer :)
[23:36] <estacion03> ratcheer can you help me do that im not good with samba
[23:36] <mehok> guys i need to know where do programmes install in ubuntu linux
[23:36] <Jordan_U> idar: Do you get the same error from "/usr/bin/gcc hello_world.c"?
[23:36] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, what happens in these.. lockups?
[23:36] <idar> Jordan_U: I get that error from helloworld.c yes
[23:36] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor well if im watching a movie hangs and sound get stuck and repeats.. if im list
[23:36] <tensorpudding> mehok: under /usr/bin for binaries, /usr/share for shared files, /usr/lib for libraries
[23:36] <idar> Jordan_U: Yes, sorry
[23:36] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, watching over the internet, right?
[23:37] <Jordan_U> idar: When gcc is invoked with the full path to the binary?
[23:37] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor list'n to pandora radio or something at work it hangs the music.. or the system just does a freeze and locks up without doing anything o nthe internet but im still connnected
[23:37] <mehok> for example the xmbc programme
[23:37] <ratcheer> estacion03: I can try. Mine has been set up for a long time and I don't mess with it much.
[23:37] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor no sometimes its just a avi file
[23:37] <gmg> over the internet
[23:37] <tensorpudding> mehok: did you install it using ubuntu?
[23:37] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, that isn't your wireless at all.. thats a ALSA or video decoding issue..
[23:37] <idar> Jordan_U: gcc -I /usr/include ??
[23:37] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor but its pretty much a old school freeze have to hold down power button to reboot
[23:37] <mehok> yea
[23:37] <estacion03> ratcheer thats fine im not worried about messing this up
[23:37] <tensorpudding> mehok: what is xmbc?
[23:37] <idar> Jordan_U: There is only one stdio.h on my filesystem
[23:37] <mehok> media player
[23:38] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: so is your wireless working or not?...
[23:38] <mehok> like windows media center
[23:38] <tensorpudding> mehok: try 'whereis xbmc'
[23:38] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor well sense its a freeze im told thats why im not seeing errors in a log file... so how do i work on trouble shooting that problem to narrow it down to the root
[23:38] <Jordan_U> idar: Run exactly this, nothing more and nothing less (in the directory containing helloworld.c): /usr/bin/gcc helloworld.c
[23:38] <Cpt_Zyph> KM0201 yep has been like a champ
[23:38] <mehok> where tha hell do i try that
[23:38] <ratcheer> estacion03: Go to System - Administration - Printers. Select the printer you cannot use and see if there is an option to delete or remove it.
[23:38] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: oh, i thought you said you were having problems w/ it...
[23:38] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, you listen to pandora using their official program?
[23:38] <mehok> terminal or
[23:38] <tensorpudding> mehok: in the terminal
[23:38] <Cpt_Zyph> KM0201 just someone rdo or something told me mthat driver suckede and i was locking cuz of it
[23:38] <idar> Jordan_U: Same problem
[23:38] <mehok> ok
[23:38] <Jordan_U> idar: Ok.
[23:38] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor no couldnt get that applet working so i use firefox through their site
[23:38] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: thats ridiculous.... a lot of people use that device w/o issue
[23:39] <Cpt_Zyph> KM0201 i figured the same but im so new to this i was like well.... humm... *) unknown to me atm
[23:39] <idar> Jordan_U: Any ideas?
[23:39] <Jordan_U> idar: Do you have a directory named "gcc" in the same directory as helloworld.c?
[23:39] <idar> Jordan_U: nope
[23:39] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, I am afraid I don't know what to suggest.. try listening to it some other way and see if it locks up doing that? if it doesnt, it could mean that there is something up with firefox? doesnt explain the ,avi problem though
[23:39] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: i can't explain your locking up/freezing.. but i feel fairly confident whatever it is, it is not related to your wireless device.
[23:40] <gmg> Which program is the easiest for remote sessions? (linux to linux)
[23:40] <rusty149> Hi, When connecting a VGA cable to my Sony VGN-NS20S Ubuntu freezes. I can still see the whole screen but it does not respond to trackpad, keyboard inc. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and SysRq. Any help please?
[23:40] <idar> Jordan_U: It runs gcc , and the binary is a 64 bit version. stdio.h comes from libc6-dev
[23:40] <tensorpudding> gmg: do you demand a remote shell, or do you want something like a remote desktop
[23:40] <KM0201> gmg: vnc is good, but if you want quick, dirty, and easy.. just use teamviewer
[23:41] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor the best way i could describe the random ness of the freeze would be a overheating CPU.. if i was dealing with a windows box which im familar with and troublshooting the Hardware i would of gotten down to the best discription overheating video card or cpu problem.. as i would of done a ram test already as well as driver checks etc..
[23:41] <gmg> remote desktop...to view a other desktop on mine over the internet
[23:41] <tensorpudding> gmg: ssh provides secure remote shells, vnc provides mostly insecure remote desktops
[23:41] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, i doubt its an overheating cpu :/
[23:41] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: well.. i guess i'll state the obvious, is your laptop over heating
[23:41] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor i appreciate ya time tho .. i have enabled boot logging in hopes that after a freeze it would leave me some trail to follow but thus far i dont know exactly were else to look to find out what locked up or got hung
[23:41] <gohan_> gmg: You can try vinagre
[23:41] <Cpt_Zyph> KM0201 na its deffently not a hardware overheating issue.. just thats the only way to discribe how random it is
[23:41] <tensorpudding> gmg: but you can start vnc using System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[23:42] <cellardoor> Cpt_Zyph, thats ok, I have to go now, catch me another time, here http://twitter.com/samcater, thanks for being an avid user :)
[23:42] <Cpt_Zyph> KM0201 if your familar with CPU heating up problems that hwo random it is
[23:42] <KM0201> gmg: teamviewer is very easy w/ that... it also makes it where if one of the parties is a moron, and can't open ports on a router, it will bypass allt hat
[23:42] <Cpt_Zyph> cellardoor thanks dude
[23:42] <KM0201> Cpt_Zyph: yup, i am.. i just figured i'd ask the obvious question
[23:42] <tensorpudding> gmg: it's easy and requires little thought
[23:42] <tensorpudding> gmg: but don't do it if you don't trust your local network
[23:42] <Cpt_Zyph> KM0201 understood .. np *)
[23:43] <Anom_> Hi
[23:43] <gmg> Can you set teamviewer so that it can log in automaticly?
[23:43] <vanguard> that is more a job for LogMeIn
[23:43] <Anom_> I am running the Open source ATI drivers for my Radeon 200M, and GLXgears does not work (says segmentation fault) is this normal ?
[23:43] <KM0201> gmg: i believe so... but i don't use that option
[23:44] <vanguard> Anom_: Does any other 3D things run?
[23:44] <Anom_> such
[23:44] <vanguard> Anom_: Segmentation Fault is a memory error in a C-Program
[23:44] <daveSizzle> looking for some help on running a virtual ubuntu on my windows7 machine...
[23:44] <gmg> I need for a pc that doesn't have a user or a mouse, keyboard or screen
[23:44] <vanguard> Anom_: a game, lets say urbanterror or sauerbraten
[23:44] <Cpt_Zyph> well afk time gatta do a little work before it gets any later thanks again for the help guysl... ill have to find out mroe abuot logs and or known issues with these dells and their hardware maybe thats a problem
[23:44] <Anom_> vanguard, thats strange, I wonder if it has to do with this Edgers thing (Gallium) that I installed
[23:44] <vanguard> daveSizzle: what do you need help for
[23:44] <daveSizzle> anyone?
[23:45] <vanguard> daveSizzle: what do you need help with?
[23:46] <furi> guys, i've been trying to get ET to work with sound, but it says that /dev/dsp doesn't exist. what can i do about this? padsp doesn't work
[23:46] <Jordan_U> idar: No idea. Try asking in ##c or #gcc.
[23:46] <rusty149> Hi, When connecting a VGA cable to my Sony VGN-NS20S Ubuntu freezes. I can still see the whole screen but it does not respond to trackpad, keyboard inc. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and SysRq. Any help please?
[23:46] <Jordan_U> furi: Have you tried "aoss" instead of padsp? What error message do you get with padsp?
[23:47] <idar> Jordan_U: thanks
[23:47] <Jordan_U> idar: You're welcome.

[23:47] <gmg> Another thing is how do you set a 3G USB modem to redial a connection when the pc restarts?
[23:47] <Hilarie> Is it possible to remove the root password from my system?
[23:48] <furi> Jordan_U: it says "sorry, your sound card can't do this" something like that
[23:48] <furi> Jordan_U: will try aoss
[23:48] <Anom_> ~ati
[23:48] <Anom_> !ati
[23:48] <KM0201> Hilarie: i don't think so, and even if you could, you don't want to.... you might as well use windows
[23:48] <Blacklite> I get random load average spikes, accompanied with htop showing HUGE red bars in the CPU lines
[23:48] <Jordan_U> Hilarie: Yes.
[23:48] <cache_surplus1> hi
[23:48] <Hilarie> What are the disadvantages of removing the password?
[23:49] <gmg> VERY FUNNY...I need a permanent connection to a workstation in case of power dips
[23:49] <Jordan_U> Hilarie: Ubuntu has no root password by default, instead you use sudo.
[23:49] <rusty149> Hilarie: Ubuntu does not have a root password by default  !sudo
[23:49] <Jordan_U> Hilarie: If you have set a root password then it is definitely good to remove it again.
[23:49] <rusty149> !sudo | Hilarie
[23:50] <Jordan_U> Hilarie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Re-disabling%20your%20root%20account
[23:50] <gordonjcp> it's not really a great idea to have a root password set at all
[23:50] <Anom_> hi, I installed the fglrx drivers, but they don't work, how do I reset by drivers back to ATI ?
[23:50] <tensorpudding> gmg: what software are you using to negotiate the 3g modem?
[23:50] <gordonjcp> the whole concept of "root" is fundamentally flawe
[23:50] <stu> hi
[23:50] <gordonjcp> *flawed
[23:50] <Hilarie> I was confusing what root was
[23:50] <gordonjcp> it's an outmoded throwback to the 1970s
[23:50] <Guest79386> jfdncdkd fcsj djd zxz
[23:50] <Hilarie> I am looking to get rid of the password to install things
[23:50] <Jordan_U> Hilarie: What is your end goal?
[23:50] <KM0201> Anom_: did you install the driver from ATI's website?
[23:51] <gmg> Gnome PPP
[23:51] <Hilarie> To not type in passwords when I am installing things, if I wanted that, I might as well use vista :P
[23:51] <Jordan_U> Hilarie: Such a configuration is not supported here. Those prompts exist for a good reason.
[23:51] <gordonjcp> Hilarie: it's easy to do that
[23:51] <aeon-ltd> Hilarie: just no. seriously you'd want to allow anyone to install anything without a prompt?
[23:52] <gmg> It redials when the line is droped but does redail when i restart the PC
[23:52] <tensorpudding> gmg: that software looks to be dead
[23:52] <gordonjcp> Hilarie: in fact, it's a case of adding a single word to a single line in a config file
[23:52] <gordonjcp> Hilarie: but I'm not going to tell you which one
[23:52] <tensorpudding> gmg: you probably just need to add it to the default start applications
[23:52] <Hilarie> and remote exploits become much easier for malicious crackers.
[23:52] <Hilarie> That's enough for me to keep it :)
[23:52] <gmg> I did but doesn't dial the number
[23:52] <gordonjcp> Hilarie: once you've worked it out for yourself, you'll see why it's a bad idea ;-)
[23:53] <rusty149> Hi, When connecting a VGA cable to my Sony VGN-NS20S Ubuntu freezes. I can still see the whole screen but it does not respond to trackpad, keyboard inc. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and SysRq. If I connact before boot it works fine.
[23:53] <tensorpudding> gmg: the documentation for it might help
[23:53] <tensorpudding> gmg: as it stands, it's just a front-end for wvdialer
[23:53] <tensorpudding> gmg: you can probably configure wvdialer to start when you boot up
[23:53] <gmg> I have been looking everywhere..just cant find a (stay connected software)
[23:53] <estacion03> can anyone help with a printing configuration issue
[23:53] <musseas> boa noite
[23:54] <Anom_> KM0201,    ATI  200M is not supported
[23:54] <gmg> Maybe I should surf porn and hope to get a dailer virus he he he
[23:54] <Anom_> with XORG 7.5
[23:54] <KM0201> Anom_: i understand that, but how did you install it, thats going to determine how you uninstall it
[23:54] <Hilarie> Do those even still exist gmg?
[23:55] <tensorpudding> gmg: look up the documentation for wvdial
[23:55] <gmg> In windows yes
[23:55] <Anom_> KM0201, well, everything seems to be working good with the right resolutions now with the open source ATI drivers
[23:55] <KM0201> Anom_: ok.. so..? why are you wanting to mess w/ it
[23:55] <gmg> Will try that but don;t think I will understand whats going on
[23:56] <Hilarie> Is it possible in ubuntu to set up music sharing that would work with win7?
[23:56] <david234> I am trying to use iptables -t mangle, I want to test my rules, is there a way to reapply my mangle rules to the active connections ?
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> Hilarie: sure you can use samba to share folders
[23:56] <tensorpudding> gmg: honestly, it would appear that Gnome's PPP awareness is being deprecated by lack of people actually using it
[23:57] <Zaelyx> Hilarie: you mean as the share that displays within windows media player?
[23:57] <Hilarie> @zaelyx that would be ideal
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> Hilarie: there is also the web interface in VLC which allows you to remotely control what VLC plays out of the server's remote speakers (or to make it play movies ;))

[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Hilarie: yes, a share which would appear and be accessible to your LAN systems
