[00:15] <cowguru2000> KBlJWQ: I also already have lame, etc. installed. I'm not sure whether my system is using ALSA, PulseAudio, or JACK though (please excuse me, I'm an audio noob)
[00:16] <fdsaseemslegit> MalfermitaKodo, :  I saw your pastebin,  so the problem now is connecting to your network through it?
[00:16] <kienai|gao> KB1JWQ: can you help me set up my wireless ? i deleted network-manager
[00:16] <MalfermitaKodo> yes
[00:16] <MalfermitaKodo> fsor, the first time the thing is plugged in, it advances further
[00:16] <MalfermitaKodo> fine with me, if you ask me
[00:17] <fdsaseemslegit> MalfermitaKodo, : Are you connecting to a router?  a switch?  and modem?
[00:17] <fdsaseemslegit> *or a modem

[00:18] <MalfermitaKodo> hopefully
[00:18] <MalfermitaKodo> that would mean connecting

[00:32] <tbruff13> hey ive go a sound bug
[00:32] <Sean93> my pc froze and now my headset doesn't work
[00:32] <fdsaseemslegit> I just know you have been here for a long time trying to get it to work.
[00:32] <tbruff13> I have sound with headphones no sound for laptop speakers
[00:33] <aeon-ltd> tbruff13: thats not a bug, check alsamixer that they are all maxed out and not showing MM
[00:33] <MalfermitaKodo> fdsaseemslegit: in-freaking-deed
[00:33] <MalfermitaKodo> I have regged on the O2 fora with a mildly frustrated nick and askedfor help
[00:34] <Suit_Of_Sables> hey gang, I'm trying to install nfs-kernel-server but I get an upon trying to install. I can't purge it afterwards because it says it can't find the package. but using apt-get update it attempts to finish the nfs-kernel-server install and fails again. this is the pastebin of the output when trying to install: http://pastebin.com/bPrs4i5x
[00:34] <fdsaseemslegit> MalfermitaKodo, :  have you considered calling the manufacturer?
[00:34] <tbruff13> how do i turn them up in the terminal the master volume
[00:35] <MalfermitaKodo> My Mandarin is too bad
[00:35] <fdsaseemslegit> :))
[00:35] <jrib> ugliefrog: don't know.  You could see if mplayer still has that codec package lying around (I don't know if it handled your type of movie at all though and nowadays they shouldn't be required)
[00:35] <MalfermitaKodo> tbruff13: alsamixer?
[00:35] <tbruff13> never mind the terminal is tied to my regular volume
[00:35] <Sean93> My pc froze momentarily and now my usb headset doesn't show up in sound settings
[00:35] <jrib> ariqs: did that work?
[00:35] <tbruff13> the mixer is right but i still have no laptop speaker sound, but i can hear it from headphone
[00:35] <bazhang> ugliefrog, you could also get the medibuntu.org version of mplayer and give that a try. .mov work great here
[00:36] <ugliefrog> jrib, thanks tho its just sux.....im going to convert it to another format and see if that works
[00:36] <ariqs> jrib: I have alreaady tried that in the past, it overwrites the files I don't want to get again
[00:36] <jrib> ugliefrog: is it a public file?  I can tell you if I have issues here
[00:36] <ugliefrog> bazhang, ill try that too
[00:36] <tbruff13> jrib,  oh your on can i ask you for some help if you are not overwhelmed
[00:36] <jrib> ariqs: how did you try?
[00:36] <ugliefrog> jrib, no i recorded it on a lil digital camcorder
[00:36] <jrib> tbruff13: sure, just ask the channel and I'll help if I can
[00:37] <fdsaseemslegit> :D
[00:37] <kienai|gao> OK i've read the wifi guide. I got up to the point with the GUI network tool, but I don't even hvae that program
[00:37] <Jkessler> how do i edit cupsd.conf so i can access the web interface from another computer on my network?
[00:37] <jrib> ugliefrog: hmm.  How big is the file?  How long?  Can you replicate the behavior with a public file?  Do you know if .mov is just a container (and if so, what codec is being used)?
[00:37] <tbruff13> okay i have an acer aspire i have perfect sound from headphones, but no sound from laptop speakers
[00:38] <ugliefrog> jrib, about 30secs i have a series of them..i was filming our snow storm here
[00:38] <Sean93> My pc froze momentarily and now my usb headset doesn't show up in sound settings
[00:39] <fdsaseemslegit> tbruff13: what was the last thing you did before you speakers stopped working,  if they ever did work?
[00:39] <kienai|gao> please help me est up my wifi on ubuntu :.
[00:39] <tbruff13> uh they went out i reinstalled they were still out but no hardware damage
[00:39] <jrib> ugliefrog: and size-wise?
[00:39] <Jon--> I just deleted a file with rm, any way to recover it?
[00:39] <bazhang> !wifi | kienai|gao please have a read
[00:40] <fdsaseemslegit> tbruff13, : that is what you did after,  not before.
[00:40] <ugliefrog> jrib, 21-41mb
[00:40] <Hoyt> hi , is it possible to encrypt root in ubuntu ?
[00:41] <jrib> ugliefrog: according to google, .mov is indeed just a container; you should investigate what codec is being used (for example: mplayer -identify)
[00:41] <Hoyt> I'm in Gentoo before , never tried Ubuntu , and i want my root to be encrypted , and decrypt before all boot process
[00:41] <ugliefrog> jrib, in the terminal type that and the filename?
[00:41] <tbruff13> Hoyt, no but it is possible to encrypt home you do it on a reinstall there is a little box
[00:41] <jrib> ugliefrog: yep
[00:42] <ugliefrog> jrib, ok..
[00:42] <Hoyt> tbruff13: right , no offical support , then i had to do some work with RamDisk

[01:13] <NixGeek> Gulfstream: try right clicking the file adn using "extract here"
[01:14] <Gulfstream> NixGeek: same error...
[01:15] <NixGeek> Gulfstream: how about renaming the file to a .zip?
[01:15] <sacrebleu> guys, recently updated ubuntu and it nixed PDO, following this tutorial on step 2 fatal errors during make: http://www.theatons.com/ubuntu-install-php5-mysql-apache2-ssl-pdo-pdo_mysql#6
[01:15] <sacrebleu> can anyone help with this?
[01:15] <Gulfstream> NixGeek: same error...
[01:16] <NixGeek> Gulfstream: what is the error exactly?
[01:17] <Gulfstream> End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not   a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the   latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on   the last disk(s) of this archive.
[01:17] <Gulfstream> NixGeek: that's the error...
[01:19] <NixGeek> Gulfstream: try redownlaoding it
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> sisif: did you try both options?
[01:21] <genii-around> NixGeek: They are self-ectracting .exe files
[01:21] <genii-around> *extracting
[01:21] <Gulfstream> NixGeek: same error
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> Gulfstream: if its an executable you can extract it with cabextract
[01:21] <Suit_Of_Sables> hmmm my NFS kernel daemon fails to start. Where do I check to get a better idea of what is going wrong?
[01:21] <sisif> ActionParsnip, yup, I did. Same issue. Though it seems that if I start gdm by service and not by running the command, then my PC won`t have the whole flicker screen / loockups
[01:22] <NixGeek> genii-around, Gulfstream: so if it's run it should extract its self?
[01:22] <genii-around> NixGeek: Perhaps under Wine
[01:22] <sacrebleu> can someone please help: http://codepad.org/mfbsoFCd  when running pecl install pdo
[01:22] <weboh> how do I change desktops
[01:22] <weboh> ?
[01:22] <NixGeek> genii-around: exactly what I was thinking once you told me it was self extracting.
[01:22] <sacrebleu> you click on the friggin boxes weboh
[01:23] <NixGeek> weboh: by "chacnge desktops" you mean....?
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> weboh: can you expand the question please. i can think of 3 things that can mean
[01:23] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip,  im back ive got a new issue the first thing you told me to do worked, but now if i plug my earphones in i hear sound from them and my laptop
[01:23] <weboh> from gnome to kde, for example
[01:23] <LinuxWouldBe> Hello everyone
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> weboh: log off, select your username, then at the bottom select kde, then login
[01:24] <fridgerator> what is Zeitgeist in ubuntu?
[01:24] <weboh> I feel so lame.
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> tbruff13: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1533332&page=2
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> weboh: you just didnt know, but now you do
[01:27] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, nice thanks
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> weboh: you can install all the DEs you like and select the one you want at logion just like that
[01:27] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, how do i get to the file again
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> tbruff13: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf   you can use up cursor in terminal to run the old commands
[01:28] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, nevermind found it
[01:28] <tbruff13> thanks thats how i got it
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> :)
[01:28] <NixGeek> ActionParsnip, weboh: WOW KDE is a big download, it's like downloading ubuntu again!  I only have 100KB/s internet, so that takes awhile
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> NixGeek: yes, its a full desktop
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> NixGeek: kde is quite fat, just like gnome. lighter desktops are smaller to download
[01:30]  * NixGeek gets ready to set up a cron job for it at midnight
[01:30] <Gulfstream> NixGeek: I tried it in CrossOver to see if it would work...
[01:31] <LinuxWouldBe> Hello:  I am running Ubuntu as a guest OS (VitualBox) and I installed DropBox, but the icons or folders never showed up.  I tried to remove it via the package manager and this is the message I'm getting>>>installArchives() failed: dpkg: error processing nautilus-dropbox (--remove):   Package is in a very bad inconsistent state
[01:31] <ValisTraitorsban> Ok, this is just silly. why is there no "disconnect from this network" button in the network manager gui?
[01:31] <K3rmit> is ubuntu 10.10 the best download?
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> ValisTraitorsban: right click and untick the 'enable wireless' or whatever
[01:31] <NixGeek> ValisTraitorsban: in ubuntu, if you click on the network icon there is a disconnect option
[01:32] <KM0201> K3rmit: best can mean different things, but it's the most current, and typically is very stable.
[01:32] <K3rmit> ok
[01:32] <MaffW> hi, I just install ubuntu. how do i start internet ?
[01:32] <K3rmit> holy crap ubuntu is only 700MB? the other distros the downloads are 4GB+
[01:33] <gunndawg> MaffW, go to Applications > Internet > Firefox
[01:33] <MaffW> gunndawg: server not find
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> K3rmit: lucid is LTS so supported longer
[01:33] <Prolix> K3rmit: Arch is better than ubuntu
[01:33] <K3rmit> huh?
[01:33] <rww> Prolix: Your distro preferences are offtopic for this channel.
[01:34] <Prolix> rww: care ?
[01:34] <KM0201> K3rmit: thats because ubuntu just comes w/ a base of packages, and others are easily iinstalled via the ubuntu repositories
[01:34] <MaffW> how do i start internet
[01:34] <rww> K3rmit: Ubuntu deliberately keeps its ISOs CD-sized. Makes it a lot easier to hand CDs out for free.
[01:34] <NixGeek> Prolix: a little offtopic, but how much do you like arch and how hard it is it to setup, I've been thinking about installing arch for awhile
[01:34] <Suit_Of_Sables> hmmm my NFS kernel daemon fails to start. Where do I check to get a better idea of what is going wrong?
[01:34] <KM0201> K3rmit: best thing to do, is download the live CD, adn give it a run,, and see what you think.. if you encounter problems, come here, and we'll discuss them.
[01:34] <rww> NixGeek: ask in PM or #archlinux, please. It's offtopic, as you said.
[01:35] <K3rmit> ok thanks guys
[01:35] <MaffW> fire fox say server not find, why does internet not work
[01:35] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, its no good still go speaker and headphones going at the same time
[01:35] <NixGeek> rww: sorry, but you have to admit there aren't a ton of things going on right now...
[01:35] <ValisTraitorsban> ActionParsnip: I don't want to disable the wireless .I want to disconnect for this network and still have the wireless enabled.
[01:35] <Prolix> NixGeek: Its not as simple as ubuntu, as its designed for people to actaully have a choice in setup rather than being force fed
[01:35] <thomasc> NixGeek, arch is great
[01:35] <KM0201> K3rmit: ubuntu live cd's can be used before you install, so there's really no risk in just burning the cd and booting it.
[01:36] <chalcedony> i need some help! please- i have an APC backup es 350 ups SCREAMING.
[01:36] <Prolix> NixGeek: installation of arch is simple tho
[01:36] <bazhang> NixGeek, #ubuntu-offtopic is for chat
[01:36] <MaffW> my internet not working
[01:36] <rww> NixGeek: the channel guideline against being offtopic doesn't have "unless it's quiet" at the end ;)
[01:36] <MaffW> how to start
[01:36] <MaffW> :(
[01:36] <thomasc> bazhang, you better shut up
[01:36] <MaffW> i have dial up
[01:36] <KM0201> lol
[01:36] <Prolix> rww: I never accepted any t&c's or any legal crap
[01:36] <bazhang> thomasc, thats not acceptable here . be civil
[01:36] <digirak> guys
[01:36] <rww> Prolix: Perhaps you should read the message chanserv sent you when you joined the channel.
[01:36] <thomasc> bazhang,  i was only playing you fag.
[01:36] <thomasc> jeez.
[01:36] <digirak> i am not able to switch users on my ubuntu desktop
[01:37] <minimec> MaffW: This is too general for us. Internet? wireless? LAN Network?
[01:37] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, are you there
[01:37] <ValisTraitorsban> Excellent. Found the disconnect button in a different location than expected.
[01:37] <MaffW> minimec: dial up
[01:37] <rww> thomasc: Please don't use "fag" as a pejorative.
[01:37] <iszak> How do I get unity now
[01:37] <K3rmit> KM0201 ok but what about a distro for my hosted web server?
[01:37] <fridgerator> what is zeitgeist as it refers to ubuntu?
[01:37] <thomasc> rww, what should i use instead, queer ?
[01:37] <ValisTraitorsban> K3rmit: CentOS?
[01:37] <KM0201> K3rmit: just about every linux distro can do that... ubuntu is no exception
[01:37] <digirak> I am getting this error The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files
[01:37] <MaffW> minimec: the phone goes into the computer and windows say it is dial up
[01:37] <KM0201> that was quick
[01:37] <thomasc> awh rww you fucking quuer bait
[01:37] <thomasc> awh rww you fucking quuer bait
[01:37] <thomasc> awh rww you fucking quuer bait

[01:37] <K3rmit> ok
[01:37] <minimec> MaffW: you would need a ppp-dial software
[01:38] <Prolix> rww: I dont pay attention to that >null is the place for chanserv messages
[01:38] <MaffW> minimec: how do i do that ?
[01:38] <NixGeek> 1. rww, good point, and I am normally on topic, sorry again.  I tried to move it to a PM,a dn Prolix didn't respond in the PM 2.  bazhang: you get onto me, after I try to move it to a PM, get onto Prolix, he was still off topic!
[01:38] <Prolix> NixGeek: i just replied to your pm
[01:38] <aeon-ltd> rww: heh, noob spam
[01:38] <MaffW> what is a ppp dial
[01:38] <K3rmit> what about be the most popular webserver distro KM0201 ? Best to learn for that?
[01:39] <digirak> ping can some onehelp me here
[01:39] <digirak> ?
[01:39] <MaffW> i am new to ubuntu
[01:39] <KM0201> K3rmit: again, most popular, best.. etc... is irrelevant its all about what meets your needs.
[01:39] <brobinson> need help my ubuntu server dies
[01:39] <minimec> MaffW: INstall gnome-ppp for example. I don't know if that is the only solution. The last time I did a dial up connection, was some years ago.
[01:39] <cryptodira> anyone know why rythmbox would close whenever i move the volume slider too fast?
[01:39] <brobinson> i am back in with plop and unetbootin
[01:39] <brobinson> i want to recover files
[01:39] <MaffW> minimec: how do i install that
[01:39] <brobinson> i cd to /
[01:39] <KM0201> K3rmit: running a server, is probably gong to require that you do some serious reading...
[01:39] <LinuxWouldBe> I dont mean to be a pest but I'm wondering if some of you can help me with my problem?
[01:40] <K3rmit> KM0201 I don't know what meets my needs. I just need to chose a linux distro for my host
[01:40] <brobinson> but cannot see my old files under /opt
[01:40] <brobinson> where are they?
[01:40] <minimec> MaffW: Applications Ubuntu Software Center
[01:40] <gunndawg> LinuxWouldBe, just ask the question, if anyone has an answer they'll respond
[01:40] <KM0201> K3rmit: i would do some reading.. there are a gazillion options....
[01:40] <NixGeek> brobinson: please stop using the return button as puncuation, it's rather annoying and hard to read..
[01:40] <rww> gunndawg: they already did ask the question
[01:40] <MaffW> minimec: it cannot find internet
[01:40] <gunndawg> rww, then what does that tell you ?
[01:40] <rww> gunndawg: that telling them to ask the question is pointless?
[01:41] <gunndawg> rww, no it tells you that no one has a solution, so spamming for help will probably yield the same response
[01:41] <rww> gunndawg: good thing they weren't doing that, then.
[01:42] <gunndawg> rww, you got a question ?
[01:42] <brobinson> my ubuntu server died, i am back in now with plop and unetbootin, i can ssh to the server and want to find my old files which were in /opt, how to i get to those old files from within the ubuntu live session?
[01:42] <Prolix> rww: whats your quesiton ?
[01:42] <Prolix> ?
[01:42] <Prolix> ?
[01:42] <FloodBot2> Prolix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:42] <minimec> MaffW: MAybe that is also part of the install disk, I don't know. You may download it on another computer and transfer it via usb stick http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnome-ppp&suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names
[01:42] <LinuxWouldBe> I'm running Ubuntu in a VirtualBox as a guest OS and I tried to install dropbox via the archive manager but could not find the dropbox icons.  So I tried removing it and this is the error message I'm getting>>>nstallArchives() failed: dpkg: error processing nautilus-dropbox (--remove):   Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should   reinstall it before attempting a removal.

[01:44] <joeoshawa> however now i am trying to get 1080i at a 4:3 aspect ratio (desktop i like widescreen movies) so i put 1440x1080 as the resolution and for some reason it won't let me do it

[01:44] <twitch> LinuxWouldBe: sudo apt-get install -f
[01:45] <brandon420> anyone care to help me get the themes working on cairo-dock?
[01:45] <MaffW> minimec: i have dial up internet and i just today install ubuntu , how do i start the dial up ?

[01:45] <LinuxWouldBe> Thanks twitch
[01:45] <joeoshawa> can someone help me with this i will pastebin my xorg.conf
[01:45] <bazhang> minimec, yes, its a command we dont discuss here

[01:46] <minimec> bazhang: Installing gnome-ppp?
[01:46] <tacotron> hi guys.. im having sound problems on ubuntu 10.10. i had sound, then all of a sudden after a reboot i lost sound.. is there anyway to easily fix this?
[01:47] <LinuxWouldBe> ok, twitch, the answer I get from the CLI is the package nautlius-dropbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find the archive for it.
[01:47] <MaffW> how do i install a gnome ppp?
[01:47] <minimec> MaffW: You need a software called gnome-ppp. Maybe you find that on the install disk. Try synaptic package software for that. That is the easist solution.
[01:47] <bazhang> MaffW, by the package manager
[01:48] <joeoshawa> tacotron what happened is this after an update?
[01:48] <tacotron> joeoshawa: it may have been.. im sure i had told ubuntu NOT to update unless i authorized it.. so it shouldnt have
[01:48] <twitch> LinuxWouldBe: did you get the .deb package stright from dropbox?
[01:48] <induz> Lucid lynx, on my Desktop I see Big icons of files/folders/directories, how can i make them small?
[01:48] <joeoshawa> you have to put your password in for update so that would be no
[01:49] <joeoshawa> strange
[01:49] <tacotron> joeoshawa: i just ran an update and installed kernel 35-26 to see if maybe that would work.. but it didnt
[01:49] <MaffW> my son just install ubuntu for me
[01:49] <JoeGazz84> !part
[01:49] <LinuxWouldBe> twicth:  yes I did
[01:49] <bazhang> JoeGazz84, /msg ubottu please
[01:49] <MaffW> he say it would make my computer run faster
[01:49] <brobinson> my ubuntu server died, i am back in now with plop and unetbootin, i can ssh to the server and want to find my old files which were in /opt, how to i get to those old files from within the ubuntu live session?
[01:49] <JoeGazz84> bazhang: Pardon?
[01:49] <bazhang> JoeGazz84, /msg ubottu factoid
[01:50] <twitch> LinuxWouldBe: are you able to do apt-get remove nautilus-dropbox
[01:50] <JoeGazz84> What do I need to do? It doesn't know what I mean
[01:50] <twitch> LinuxWouldBe: +sudo at the front
[01:50] <JoeGazz84> I accidentally joined my bot
[01:50] <tacotron> joeoshawa: it is strange.. so i dont know if an update ran.. that would be the only explainable cause for thebreak.. it wouldnt just stop.. which btw.. its only the speakers that dont output sound.. the mic headphone port still works
[01:50] <tacidsky> MaffW: you dont want to run ubuntu, you want OpenBSD to have it run faster.
[01:50] <bazhang> tacidsky, thats not helpful
[01:51] <elvis2> anyone know how to debug a machine that freezes randomly? caps and scroll lights blink, mouse and keyboard freeze...
[01:51] <USS_OHIO> can someone tell me how to turn off my security settings so i don't have to enter my password every freakin time i wanna do something, it's rather aggervating, including when i log on to ubuntu i have to enter my password twice, i dont need security settings at all i'm only one with any access to my pc

[01:51] <chasis> hello, i want to blur a part of a video, does ubuntu have any video editor that can do it?
[01:51] <joeoshawa> tacotron hardware problem? did you try other speakers check the connection?
[01:52] <LinuxWouldBe> twitch:  I just get the message>>> the package nautlius-dropbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find the archive for it
[01:52] <tacotron> joeoshawa: i doubt its a hardware problem.. its a brandnew laptop.. i could boot into windows and see if i get audio
[01:52] <genii-around> elvis2: all 3 keyboard lights blinking on and off indicates a kernel dump. maybe check /var/log/kern.log
[01:52] <joeoshawa> good idea
[01:52] <paq7512> how can i view my vlc crash in a log?
[01:52] <mikebot> If I install ubuntu with Wubi, does it run through Windows, or is it just like intstalling it on a different partition with the live cd?
[01:52] <brobinson>  my ubuntu server died, i am back in now with plop and unetbootin, i can ssh to the server and want to find my old files which were in /opt, how do i get to those old files from within the ubuntu live session?
[01:53] <tacotron> joeoshawa: if it does.. than i just give up on getting sound to work right.. for some reason snd-hda audio NEVER works with linux
[01:53] <tacotron> they cant figure out the modules right or something id ont know
[01:53] <joeoshawa> don't give up there is a fix
[01:53] <tacotron> brobinson: quit repeating your quesiton, if someone knows the answer you will get the answer
[01:53] <MaffW> help i need diall up
[01:53] <chasis> please help, i need to know if there is any video editor that can blur part of a video
[01:53] <gpc> MaffW: why do you need dialup?
[01:53] <brobinson> thanks
[01:53] <tacotron> joeoshawa: ill have to look at it later.. i have a huge programming assignment i need to knock out
[01:53] <joeoshawa> cool
[01:54] <MaffW> gpc: beacuase that is the internet we have
[01:54] <induz> I have dual boot with Xp and Lucid, when i am on Lucid my HD starts sounding like a whiny
[01:54] <tacotron> thanks though, later
[01:54] <bazhang> !dialup | MaffW
[01:54] <joeoshawa> no problem
[01:54] <elvis2> genii-around, num lock is lit normally, when this happens it remains unlit while the other two blink...
[01:54] <gpc> MaffW: and how are you connected now?
[01:54] <MaffW> gpc: dial up
[01:54] <elvis2> genii-around, how do i turn on kern.log?
[01:54] <MaffW> gpc: i am in windows
[01:54] <gpc> MaffW: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[01:55] <joeoshawa> does anyone know about xorg and nvidia can help me
[01:55] <genii-around> elvis2: The log should exist by default
[01:55] <elvis2> genii-around, i am running centos, the guys at #centos suggested i ask my freeze question in here
[01:55] <minimec> induz: It may be that your HD is doing some indexing or so. That should be gone after 1-2 minutes. That could be one explanation.
[01:56] <elvis2> genii-around, no kern.log on my machine
[01:56] <induz> minimec, it sounds like running faster
[01:56] <gpc> elvis2: this is the Ubuntu channel.
[01:57] <induz> minimec, should i do correct it and how
[01:57] <minimec> induz: Did you use that machine a little longer now? Do you still think it's running 'faster' after 10 minutes of use?
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: you can generate one with:  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:57] <induz> minimec, something is not right with the HD, but it runs smooth, with no sound on XP
[01:57] <tacidsky> Woah this is the ubuntu channel? I thoght this was woodshop
[01:58] <elvis2> gpc, i know... it was suggested i ask in here... thanks for the reminder though...
[01:58] <bazhang> elvis2, what does it have to do with ubuntu
[01:58] <bazhang> elvis2, please explain
[01:58] <joeoshawa> i did but it won't gimme 1440x1080
[01:58] <induz> minimec,  when i am on Lucid it makes sound as " OOOOOOOOO'...or maybe the fan runs faster
[01:58] <gpc> elvis2: you're welcome. I was trying to point out that we help with Ubuntu not centos
[01:59] <USS_OHIO> can someone tell me how to turn off my security settings so i don't have to enter my password every time i wanna do something, it's rather aggervating, including when i log on to ubuntu i have to enter my password twice, i dont need security settings at all i'm only one with any access to my pc, i even have it set in user settings not to ask for password on log in

[01:59] <joeoshawa> it sends it at another res thats widescreen
[01:59] <joeoshawa> as son as i got interlaced video everything was widescreen
[01:59] <minimec> induz: fan may be an issue. GPU may use more power, specially on ATI I guess.
[01:59] <gpc> MaffW: stop wasting our time please.
[01:59] <joeoshawa> even the desktop
[02:00] <aeon-ltd> USS_OHIO: please don't, sudo is there to stop mistakes
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> USS_OHIO: once you get the OS setup you will see that very rarely
[02:00] <timoharling> can someone help me with the signing of the ubuntu code of conduct
[02:00] <tpw_rules> how to use APC ups with ubuntu? apcupsd installed from repos doesn't seem to be working
[02:00] <bazhang> timoharling, using seamonkey?
[02:00] <bazhang> !info seamonkey
[02:00] <alter-ego> does cpu virtualization decrease system preformance?
[02:00] <elvis2> gpc, no worries
[02:00] <USS_OHIO> but half the time when i enter my password it doesnt accept, i click on authenticate and nothing happens
[02:00] <mikebot> If I install ubuntu with Wubi, does it run through Windows, or is it just like intstalling it on a different partition with the live cd?
[02:01] <bazhang> whoops
[02:01] <timoharling> seamonkey?
[02:01] <bazhang> !find seahorse
[02:01] <bazhang> !info seahorse
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: the boot will run from an image in your ntfs
[02:01] <induz> minimec, its not ATI  but nvidia
[02:01] <bazhang> timoharling, correction, using seahorse?
[02:01] <paq7512> what dvd cloning software is recommended for gnome? like a dvd shrinker?
[02:01] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: So I cannot install it that way to an unallocated partition?
[02:01] <bazhang> paq7512, ogmrip
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: windows isnt touched, it just uses the (crappy) ntfs to store the disk image
[02:01] <induz> minimec, how can i control the sound of the fan/HD?
[02:02] <joeoshawa> http://paste.ubuntu.com/561709/  here is my xorg.conf
[02:02] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: I don't understand.... after it is installed, does it still touch the ntfs?
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: no, you will install a normal (better) ubuntu using unpartitioned space
[02:02] <USS_OHIO> ok when i downloaded ubuntu ISO file in windows, ounce ubuntu is installed can i remove the ISO file?
[02:02] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: Ughh OK thanks.... this install process is absurd
[02:03] <minimec> induz: Do you use the nvidia-property driver? You may have a possibility to undervolt the GPU. YOu could also try to undertvolt CPU.
that will also shrink dvd 9 to dvd 5?
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: wubi makes a disk image in the ntfs, much like storing an ISO file on the partition, but you can change the wubi file wheras in ISO it is much harder
[02:03] <bazhang> paq7512, double layer?
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: yes, wubi is fine as a quick and dirty try before you buy but as a long term solution it stinks
[02:03] <induz> minimec, no properietey driver
[02:03] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: Wait, this is my question: is there any difference between installing ubuntu through Wubi and a live cd, once it is actually installed?
[02:03] <timoharling> ok where do i get seahorse?  the problem i have is with the signing procedure.. i have the key
[02:03] <minimec> induz: Try to install these once. That may help.
[02:04] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: I'm clearly not understanding all the details here
sure
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: one you have unpartitioned space you can simply tell the installer to use it and the dual boot will be handled, nice and easy
[02:04] <induz> minimec, how?
[02:04] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: Even from wubi?
[02:04] <alter-ego> does virtualization slow overall system preformance
[02:04] <bazhang> timoharling, install from package manager, it makes signing that very easy ie generating keys and such
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: the OS is identical, wubi wil suffer the shortcomings of ntfs as the 'disk' is store on ntfs, so fragmentation in ntfs will affect your wubi image
[02:05] <joeoshawa> USS_OHIO yes you can but i would keep a copy of the install cd just in case
[02:05] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: Does the wubi image get touched after ubuntu is installed?
[02:05] <shadowscene> Hi, question
[02:05] <alter-ego> ive noticed more application hangs since i enabled it
[02:05] <minimec> induz: Try >system >administration >Additional drivers. The software will tell you, if there is a driver for your GPU.
[02:05] <alter-ego> i have a 2.9 quad core amd athlon II
[02:05] <bazhang> alter-ego, sure it does, its using ram
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: also fixing wubi adds extra complications as you will need to mount the image then work on that wheras a true install will just allow you to mount the partitions which is much easier
[02:06] <shadowscene> I cannot adjust the brightness of my laptop display. Every time I use the appropriate key combination or do it through the panel, my system hangs and I need to restart itl
[02:06] <USS_OHIO> yes i have it on disk as well, im just trying to free up some space, 10 gigs is a nice little chunk of space.  considering i only have 35 gigs left
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: yes, the image can be upgraded and manipulated like a normal install
[02:06] <alter-ego> for cpu virtualization?
[02:06] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: OK, this is what I want... I have an unallocated partition, and I want to install ubuntu on that. Can I do that with Wubi???? I don't care where the cd image is stored. I want the OS on a different partition.
[02:06] <alter-ego> im talkin about amd-v or the VT-v or watever intel has
[02:06] <bazhang> alter-ego, vbox? qemu xen or what
[02:06] <induz> system--admin--hardware driver.... it says there is no proprietary hardware driver on this system
[02:06] <joeoshawa> yeah go ahead its only for burning the live cd it makes no difference after that
[02:06] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: I want it to be like I installed it on a blank partition from the live cd
[02:06] <alter-ego> vbox
[02:07] <alter-ego> but im talkin about hardware virtualization
[02:07] <bazhang> alter-ego, best try in #vbox
[02:07] <alter-ego> like adding more then 1 core
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: you will need to partition it as ntfs then tel wubi to use it as storage, its a bit silly though as unpartitioned space can be turned into Ubuntu native install space
[02:07] <alter-ego> in bios
[02:07] <alter-ego> but even when the guest os isnt runninig
[02:07] <alter-ego> is when i notice it
[02:07] <induz> minimec, there is no . additional Driver listed
[02:07] <minimec> induz: Ok. Is that a rather old nvidia card?
[02:07] <gpc> mikebot: you need to format the unallocated space to ntfs then you should be able to select the partition and install to it.
[02:07] <bazhang> alter-ego, easy on the enter key, its impossible to follow you
[02:07] <induz> minimec, yes its a old card with came with Dell dimension
[02:08] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: I've tried 15 times to install ubuntu on the unallocated space (with different programs, versions of ubuntu, and the same sticks on different computers and none of them have worked)
[02:08] <timoharling> when i enter   gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt  into the terminal it asks for a passcode and after i9 put it in i get this
[02:08] <timoharling> gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt
[02:08] <linuxpusher_> minimec, induz problem a bug? hdd parking repeatedly?
[02:08] <timoharling> gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session
[02:08] <timoharling> gpg: can't open `UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt': No such file or directory
[02:08] <timoharling> gpg: UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt: clearsign failed: file open error
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: did you md5 test the ISO you used?
[02:08] <bazhang> timoharling, I'd really recommend using seahorse for this
[02:08] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: Yes, both of them
[02:08] <minimec> induz: still... I am surprised.
[02:09] <timoharling> thats what im using
[02:09] <bazhang> timoharling, you say 'the terminal'
[02:09] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: Actually I used two different md5 things too, one that some guy from this chat made (on sourceforge), and winmd4sum
[02:09] <induz> minimec,  still its making sound
[02:09] <joeoshawa> mikebot you can only have so many partitions regardless of the operating system if you go past this the space is useless unless you erase a partition
[02:09] <gpc> mikebot: that is because it is unallocated. the installer doesn't know how to handle that space, it's blank and doesn't read as usable. first format it.
[02:09] <mikebot> 5**
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: good, loads of folks don't
[02:09] <induz> linuxpusher_, how can i find that BUg
[02:09] <joeoshawa> you have to make it a partion first then format
[02:10] <minimec> linuxpusher_: induz: I don't know if it is HD or GPU (fan). I know that fan can be an issue compared to WInXP. On the other hand, I never had problems with HD and linux.
[02:10] <joeoshawa> unallocated space has no partion
[02:10] <mikebot> The installer can't even run (I tried it on my laptop and a school computer)... I'm probably doing something wrong, but so far no one has been able to tell me what that is.
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: create a new partition in the space then when you install wubi you (should) be able to tell it to use the new empty partition
[02:10] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: But I don't want it on ntfs
[02:10] <joeoshawa> once partitioned it is unformatted space
[02:10] <timoharling> listen i dont have time to be made fun of.. can i please get some help? god its like you people forget what the word ubuntu means
[02:10] <mikebot> I've never had a problem installing ubuntu before, it really is a shame
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: thats what wubi uses, or you can use fat32 but it isn't very robust
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: did your liveCDs boot to a black screen?
[02:11] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: I was using the usb, not a cd... they got to the screen with a symbol in the bottom (purple screen), and when I press a key the menu comes up, and when I click either run from usb or install, I get a terminal that scrolls a bunch of junk then freezes.
[02:12] <induz> minimec, linuxpusher_ bye for now
[02:12] <minimec> induz: cu
[02:12] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: That's when I used the pendrive... neither the usb-creator nor some other one worked as well
[02:12] <paq7512> my nic doesn't always connect using dhcp
[02:12] <paq7512> what is wrong?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: did you use the nomodeset to fix the black boot screen?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> paq7512: wireless or wired?
[02:13] <paq7512> wired
[02:13] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: I did the very first time I installed (with UNR)... I'm at school, I'll try it on their computer now, one second
[02:13] <timoharling> hello
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> paq7512: ok have you tried changing cable, or port on your router?
[02:14] <paq7512> i have
[02:14] <lotus-blade> is there a good tutorial on how to set up as a print server with ubuntu 10.10?
[02:14] <paq7512> same thing, it connect fine on windows machines
[02:14] <sacrebleu> hey folks having one hell of a time getting PDO to happen on my Ubuntu VPS.. can anyone assist?
[02:14] <alter-ego> does amd-v decrease overall system preformance?
[02:14] <blahsphemer> would I have to format my usb drive when I try to install ubuntu from a usb drive?
[02:14] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: Oh, I currently have the desktop version on the usb... there is no nomdeset option that I can see
[02:14] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: (I did it when I tried the UNR one)
[02:15] <h00k> ubottu: cups | lotus-blade
[02:15] <joeoshawa> mikebot, can you tell us what partions you have on the drive your unallocated space is on
[02:15] <joeoshawa> mikebot, all of them
[02:15] <tpw_rules> how to use APC ups with ubuntu? apcupsd installed from repos doesn't seem to be working. can anybody help? i've configured it but the test fails
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: use the F6 button and you can choose it, or you can manually edit the boot options and remove 'quiet splash' and change it to 'nomodeset'
[02:15] <mikebot> joeoshawa: Sure, one second please
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> blahsphemer: not really but it can't hurt
[02:15] <joeoshawa> cool
[02:16] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: f6 just beeps and flashes the menu
[02:16] <mikebot> ActionParsnip: (That's on the school computer)
[02:16] <blahsphemer> ActionParsnip: no cuz mine is a 500GB external HD, and I have a lot of data on it. So I was wondering if it necessary
[02:16] <skutr3> hey my headphone jack is not working on ubuntu can i get some help?
[02:17] <blahsphemer> ActionParsnip: now that you've told me that it isn't _necessary_, I'll just go ahead w/o formatting
[02:17] <Andyman555> try alsamixer in terminal - make sure headphone volume is up and unmuted?
[02:17] <mikebot> joeoshawa: On mine I have: 200mb NTFS, C: 59gb NTFS, 44gb unallocated, Lenovo: 9.81gb NTFS, 20.38 free space, 14.75gb OEM Partition
[02:17] <mikebot> joeoshawa: This is all from the 'Computer Management' tool in Win 7 Starter
[02:18] <skutr3> my headphone jack is not working in ubuntu can i have some help?
[02:18] <joeoshawa> mikebot, that is your problem the unallocated space cannot be used because you have too many main partitions you cannot make any more partitions
[02:19] <mikebot> joeoshawa: Oh... OK, let me ask the windows folks if they can recommend better, free partition software
[02:19] <skutr3> avis: nothing is muted
[02:19] <joeoshawa> mikebot, you can repartition from the live cd
[02:19] <mikebot> joeoshawa: How?
[02:19] <mikeliss> Anybody know how to put the menus like File, View, Tools etc into gnome-panel?
[02:19] <mikeliss> There was an app for that, right?
[02:19] <mikeliss> Outside of Unity?
[02:19] <h00k> mikeliss: it's not software you're limited by, it is the partitioning that you currently have. There's a difference between Extended Partitions and Logical Partitions
[02:20] <mikebot> joeoshawa: Oh, also, I cannot even run ubuntu from the usb... it gives me the same error. Not sure if that is affected by the partitions
[02:20] <paq7512> where is the application crash log file?
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> blahsphemer: well then i suggest you partition off 1Gb of the space and transfer the install media to that
[02:20] <mikeliss> hook: I'm guessing that was for somebody else?
[02:20] <h00k> mikeliss: yep.
[02:20] <blahsphemer> ActionParsnip: sounds good
[02:20] <h00k> sorry.
[02:21] <joeoshawa> mikebot, first could you move the data from the 59 gb and 9.81 gb ntfs and join those together by removing them and making one big partition
[02:21] <skutr3> my headphone jack isnt working on ubuntu can i have help?
[02:21] <joeoshawa> then worry about the rest
[02:21] <bazhang> skutr3, hardware issue?
[02:21] <andy-at-alba> can anyone recommend a text editor that supports ftp saving? kind of like ultraedit except liter
[02:21] <skutr3> bazhang: no ive had it before
[02:21] <bazhang> skutr3, check alsamixer
[02:21] <skutr3> bazhang: i did
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> mikebot: globalmenu can do that if the menus in an app are coded in a certain way
[02:21] <joeoshawa> mikebot, so at least you can make a partition to use the unallocated space
[02:22] <skutr3> bazhang: nothing is muted
[02:22] <skutr3> bazhang: someone gave me a command but i forgot what it was
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> andy-at-alba: if you mount the ftp, you can edit like the data was local
[02:22] <Milossh> hello. would someone please help me diagnose the problem I have with samsung n210 and ubuntu NBR - I don't see an input device, and I have it, for sure.
[02:22] <bazhang> skutr3, sounds like a hardware/cable issue
[02:22] <andy-at-alba> interesting idea
[02:22] <skutr3> bazhang: its not cause someone gave me a command and it worked
[02:23] <skutr3> bazhang: i cant remember it though
[02:23] <bazhang> skutr3, what command
[02:23] <andy-at-alba> never tried it that way before one linux
[02:23] <andy-at-alba> on linux*
[02:23] <skutr3> bazhang: i cant remember
[02:23] <Milossh> hello. would someone please help me diagnose the problem I have with samsung n210 and ubuntu NBR - I don't see an sound input device, and I have it, for sure.
[02:23] <skutr3> bazhang: something init
[02:24] <bazhang> skutr3, when was this?
[02:24] <skutr3> bazhang: like yesterday or the day before
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> andy-at-alba: nautilus can mount ftp
[02:24] <skutr3> g_0_0: hey what was that command for the headphones?
[02:24] <tpw_rules> how to use APC ups with ubuntu? apcupsd installed from repos doesn't seem to be working. can anybody help? i've configured it but the test fails
[02:24] <bazhang> skutr3, I doubt a single command would do that; I'd suspect a dodgy cable/connection instead
[02:25] <bazhang> skutr3, you can check the logs if you wish though
[02:25] <skutr3> bazhang: well it did
[02:25] <rww> skutr3: irclogs/freenode/#ubuntu/#ubuntu freenode2011-02-02.log:02:36:45 < g_0_0> skutr3, in the terminal type --> alsactl init
[02:25] <bazhang> !1984 | skutr3 check here
[02:25] <skutr3> g_0_0: what was that command you gave me?
[02:26] <linuxpusher_> minimec, sorry so long to reply playing catch up. ask him to turn off his wireless radio if he can listen 4 noise. turn wireless radio back on noise?
[02:26] <blahsphemer> can I upgrade from a 32-bit ubuntu installation to a 64-bit ubuntu installation
[02:26] <rww> blahsphemer: no
[02:26] <blahsphemer> rww: k
[02:26] <blahsphemer> thanks
[02:26] <bazhang> blahsphemer, with a full reinstall
[02:27] <mikeliss> The answer to my question, in case somebody reads this later is to install indicator-applet-appmenu.
[02:27] <joeoshawa> he could reinstall over the old install without formatting but theres no guarentee his data will all be ok
[02:27] <joeoshawa> but it probably would
[02:27] <minimec> linuxpusher_: He has gone for a while now.
[02:28] <skutr3> i cant fund it guts
[02:28] <lotus-blade> I have xdm setup and it is not letting me enter my password.  can type the username, but not the pass.  any ideas?
[02:28] <skutr3> guys*
[02:28] <joeoshawa> i need someone good with xorg to help me fix my resolution problem
[02:28] <rww> skutr3: I just pasted it to you...
[02:28] <linuxpusher_> minimec, finally caught up
[02:28] <rww> skutr3: again, it was alsactl init
[02:28] <skutr3> oh lol
[02:29] <rww> ;)
[02:29] <skutr3> thanks
[02:29] <rww> np
[02:30] <alex_jet> what are you doing here?
[02:30] <bazhang> alex_jet, ubuntu support
[02:31] <joeoshawa> strange question
[02:31] <linuxpusher_> I had the same prob long time ago. I think it was caused by a bug making the HDD park unpark a lot. if I remember right turning off the radio stopped it and there is a fix. but I would have to dig thru 200GB to find it. need to organize help files. too busy volunteering to organize it
[02:31] <joeoshawa> bazhang you ever delt with xorg and nvidia for resolutions?
[02:31] <bazhang> joeoshawa, which card
[02:31] <joeoshawa> 8400gs
[02:32] <bazhang> joeoshawa, you tried the OSS driver yet?
[02:32] <linuxpusher_> looking
[02:32] <joeoshawa> the open driver?
[02:32] <bazhang> yep
[02:32] <joeoshawa> yea no 3d support
[02:32] <fuzion24> how do I change the lock screen from the plain boring gray screen?
[02:33] <alex_jet> ubuntu_10.04 sleeping mode problem
[02:34] <homecable> my isp lets me dhcpd 5 ips how do i make vlan dhcpd 4 ips ?
[02:34] <joeoshawa> so if i want 4:3 resolution at 1080i i lose 3d?
[02:34] <minimec> alex_jet: That is often related to wifi and GPU.
[02:34] <Athenon> How can I connect to a VPN via terminal only?
[02:34] <brandon420> can anyone help me get the themes in cairo dock working?
[02:34] <Athenon> (10.04)
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: you can install the proprietary then specify the resolution in xorg.conf if the nvidia-settings app isn't giving what you need
[02:35] <joeoshawa> i know thats why i need help to figure out why i only get 16:9
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> Athenon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient
[02:36] <joeoshawa> i posted my xorg.conf here it is again
[02:36] <joeoshawa> http://paste.ubuntu.com/561709/
[02:36] <joeoshawa> think you can help?
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: if you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings  set a resolution then click 'save to X config file'. You can now run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and change the resolution to what you desire
[02:37] <fuzion24> how do I change the lock screen from the plain boring gray screen?
[02:37] <linuxpusher_> minimec, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=531866
[02:37] <Suit_Of_Sables> anyone know how to get to the bottom of what might be causing data transfer to and from a dir mounted with sshfs to be insanely slow?

[02:38] <DysteR> anyone knows why Compis-Fusion is disabling after I sucessfully turn on Dual Monitors on Extended view ???
[02:38] <quantumtransfer> izinucs Hello again, i have tried the steps outlined with the previous link you have givin me. here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10065524&postcount=16 . This method does not work for me.
[02:38] <DysteR> cant even turn back on Special Effects on Ubuntu 10.10
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> Athenon: read ALL the text
[02:38] <minimec> linuxpusher_: that would indeed have been an interesting link for the other guy. I don't even remember his nick.
[02:39] <mbvpixies78> How do I know if ssh server is running on ubuntu?
[02:39] <joeoshawa> ActionParsnip, if it was that simple i would go in the nvidia settings panel provided when you install the proprietary drivers and change the resolution its not there
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Athenon: wicd also has wicd-curses which may give a curses based gui to vpn but that guide DOES tel you hw to configure it at command line, you simply have to READ
[02:39] <linuxpusher_> induz??
[02:39] <Athenon> ActionParsnip:  yeah i see it now...it's just organized a little weird is all
[02:39] <linuxpusher_> minimec, induz?
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: I guessed, but if you hand edit xorg.conf you can set the res you want
[02:40] <joeoshawa> nvidia-settings is the settings manager in the menu
[02:40] <mbvpixies78> what's the command to stop/start ssh server?

[02:40] <joeoshawa> ActionParsnip, i did hand edit my xorg.conf file but its not working thats why i posted it in pastebin
[02:41] <minimec> linuxpusher_: right
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: I had a weird time getting a nice res. I ended up using puppy linux, making the xorg.conf there then using the same config file
[02:41] <linuxpusher_> minimec, similar is the radio button turned off noise stops. it was brought up again last nights lug wifi overheating compat issues with certain radios
[02:41] <sacrebleu> anyone?  bueller?

[02:42] <quantumtransfer> Hello everyone, I am having this issue noted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1593705 . I tried the solution found on post #16. This method doesn't work for me. Does anyone have any other idea's?
[02:42] <minimec> linuxpusher_: Yeah the new wifi stack was a regression for one of my chips too... I also have heat problems with a motorola stick.
[02:43] <joeoshawa> ActionParsnip, i wish i could but i highly doubt that would do anything since puppy-linux doesn't support my current display config
[02:43] <schutzstaffel> hello

[02:45] <jethrot> please
[02:46] <joeoshawa> so ubuntu video is crap and unusable and you need another distro to get a proper config file?

[02:46] <joeoshawa> just trying to understand what he is trying to say
[02:46] <jethrot> Unable to get libcurl and PDO happening on my Ubuntu server, anyone pelase??
[02:46] <bazhang> skutr3, that one command did not work?
[02:46] <skutr3> can someone help me my headphones arent  working im in alsamixer but i dont understand it??????
[02:46] <skutr3> bazhang: no
[02:47] <bazhang> skutr3, sounds like hardware then
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: its one way to achieve a goal
[02:47] <skutr3> bazhang: it did last time but not now
[02:47] <Soraya_> skutr3, take it easey pal
[02:47] <bazhang> skutr3, you using wine/dual booting?
[02:47] <linuxpusher_> minimec, can we e mail link to induz?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=531866
[02:47] <skutr3> Soraya_: huh
[02:47] <ssm2017> hello
[02:47] <skutr3> bazhang: yeah
[02:48] <ssm2017> is there a way to monitor mouse events in 10.04 ?
[02:48] <USS_OHIO> just out of curiosity is there a linux program like limewire?
[02:48] <ssm2017> the wheel button is not responding so i would like to see if this is a mechanical problem or software
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: i'm just saying how I achieved the same goal. It's not the ONLY way
[02:48] <joeoshawa> i am trying to set up a complicated config and yes i have tried puppy my standard config made it not work
[02:48] <bazhang> joeoshawa, I had that very same card and got the 3D working okay; not sure why you'd need to customize the xorg.conf as the nvidia tool worked just fine
[02:48] <skutr3> bazhang: i know its not my headphones cause they work in windows and on my phone and ipod
[02:49] <bazhang> skutr3, using wine/ windows / or both
[02:49] <Blue1> ssm2017: easy way would be to either borrow someone else's mouse, or take your mouse to someone else's machine.
[02:49] <Soraya_> USS_OHIO, i havnt senn one yet,there was a limewire for Linux if im not mistaking
[02:49] <USS_OHIO> ya but limewire is bunk now,
[02:49] <Blue1> Soraya_: there was indeed
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> !limewire | Soraya_  USS_OHIO
[02:49] <rww> !frostwire
[02:49] <skutr3> bazhang: what?
[02:49] <DysteR> anyone running dual monitors on linux ???
[02:49] <jethrot> Unable to get libcurl and PDO happening on my Ubuntu server, anyone please??
[02:49] <quantumtransfer> Hello everyone, I am having this issue noted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1593705 . I tried the solution found on post #16. This method doesn't work for me. Does anyone have any other idea's?
[02:49] <Noah0504> USS_OHIO: There is Frostwire...
[02:49] <BlueBomber7> USS_OHIO, Soraya_:  There are many gnutella clients, like Frostwire, for example.
[02:50] <minimec> linuxpusher_: I get his crypted IP on freenode, when I do a /whois, but he not on the server anymore.
[02:50] <USS_OHIO> thanks i'll look into frostwire
[02:50] <Soraya_> USS_OHIO, there is a app called SONGR u can use it in wine
[02:50] <joeoshawa> i have posted this often i am trying to set up dual display one 20 inch lg at 1680x1050 and a separate x display at 1440x1080 that is on a tv and interlaced
[02:50] <bazhang> skutr3, are you using wine / windows/ or both?
[02:50] <skutr3> im using Ubuntu bazhang
[02:50] <ssm2017> good idea Blue1 :)
[02:50] <bazhang> joeoshawa, using xrandr
[02:50] <quantumtransfer> .
[02:50] <joeoshawa> the standard nvidia config gives a crappy res
[02:50] <joeoshawa> xrandr?
[02:51] <Blue1> joeoshawa: indeed
[02:51] <jsec> Soraya_: referencing your issue, do your run off of a USB stick?
[02:51] <Milossh> one question: I have an ubuntu box: how can I connect to it, if I have a few other ubuntu boxes in the same network?
[02:51] <BlueBomber7> Milossh: Wifi or ethernet are my best guesses.
[02:51] <Soraya_> jsec, yes i do in fact im on it now as we speak
[02:51] <bazhang> joeoshawa, I doubt your card can do those two resolutions simultaneously, please check xrandr though
[02:51] <USS_OHIO> frostwire is bit torrent. so i'll have to search through endless links to webpages that give me nothing 99% of the time or is it like limewire where i can just search and dowload?
[02:52] <Milossh> BlueBomber7: yeah, but to which of the boxes with that ip I will connect to?
[02:52] <BlueBomber7> USS_OHIO: Frostwire is gnutella.
[02:52] <Milossh> how can I know that
[02:52] <jethrot> can you guys take your OT discussion elsewhere?  I need some support.
[02:52] <skutr3> bazhang: ubuntu
[02:52] <skutr3> bazhang:  idk what wine is
[02:52] <bazhang> jethrot, pardon?
[02:52] <USS_OHIO> no clue what gnutella means
[02:52] <BlueBomber7> !gnutella
[02:52] <USS_OHIO> <[02:52] <jsec> Soraya_: This may be of some interest I suppose: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/562312
[02:52] <joeoshawa> one sec looking up xrandr
[02:52] <jethrot> bazhang: Limewire != ubuntu-related
[02:52] <BlueBomber7> USS_OHIO: Wiki it
[02:52] <BlueBomber7> But everyone's right, this is way OT
[02:53] <BlueBomber7> Milossh: You have a router?
[02:53] <skutr3> bazhang: hello?>
[02:53] <linuxpusher_> minimec, going to try e mailing jack. probably won't work
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> USS_OHIO: gnutella is the network, limewire is a client for that network,
[02:54] <Milossh> BlueBomber7: yep
[02:54] <Milossh> BlueBomber7: please don't make me forward ports
[02:54] <Fretta> any ideas on this iptables command http://pastie.org/1523783
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> USS_OHIO: any client which can talk on the gnutella network is a gnutella client, limewire is one such client, as is frostwire, as is soulseek
[02:54] <BlueBomber7> Milossh:  Are you just talking about setting up a LAN?  I don't know what you want to do.  Can you provide more information?
[02:55] <USS_OHIO> ok, i just have tons of issues find torrent files, trying to avoid them at all cost
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> !torrents
[02:55] <bazhang> USS_OHIO, lets move on please
[02:55] <Milossh> BlueBomber7: I want to connect to a specific computer on LAN via internet
[02:55] <skutr3> can anyone help me please? my headphones dont work on ubuntu????????
[02:55] <rww> Fretta: --sports, not --sport, I think.
[02:55] <USS_OHIO> sorry i have abandonment issues
[02:55] <USS_OHIO> :P
[02:55] <BlueBomber7> Overcome them.
[02:56] <skutr3> can anyone help me please? my headphones dont work on ubuntu????????
[02:56] <bazhang> USS_OHIO, this is not the channel for it. lets move on please
[02:56] <Blue1> skutr3: you've tried the usual things, like sound prefs?
[02:56] <skutr3> Blue1: i dont understand them
[02:56] <bazhang> skutr3, please dont repeat every five seconds
[02:56] <Fretta> rww mm iptables v1.3.8: Unknown arg `--sports'
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: then you will need to setup port forwatrding in your router, so that when you connect from the outside world the traffic will be pushed through to the desire system
[02:56] <Blue1> skutr3: private message ok?
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> !sound | skutr3
[02:56] <skutr3> ok
[02:57] <Blue1> okay that's what I would have said only it did it more concisely
[02:57] <joeoshawa> but xrandr is only going to tell me the display resolutions ubuntu sees not what the screen is capable of i have checked and this tv has a native resolution of 1440x1080
[02:57] <BlueBomber7> Milossh: If you want to PM me for some (limited) network help, feel free.
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: i believe you can add resolutions to xrandr
[02:57] <Soraya_> how can i install a linux image generic so i can stop having this issues.,,,,http://pastebin.com/7ui0N4AD
[02:57] <BlueBomber7> Milossh: Otherwise, if you have a specific question related to Ubuntu, please ask away publicly.
[02:57] <mouse> I'm looking for conformation concerning the login screen.  Is it true in ubuntu 10.04 all you can change is the background and the logo?
[02:57] <Milossh> thanks gusy
[02:57] <Milossh> guys, even
[02:57] <bazhang> joeoshawa, you card may not be able to handle both of those simulataneously, you can try via xrandr though
[02:57] <Soraya_> i believe thats the rrot of my problem
[02:57] <Milossh> I tried to avoid port forwarding
[02:57] <linuxpusher_> Minimec, nope well i tried. back to lurking.
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> mouse: correct
[02:58] <mouse> ActionParsnip, Thank you.  Good to see you again.
[02:58] <BlueBomber7> Milossh: I don't know what you want to do.  It may not require port forwarding at all, although I can't say I understand your aversion to it.
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> mouse: and you :)
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> mouse: I can give you a guide if you want, to change the screen
[02:59] <mouse> ActionParsnip, Sure.  That sounds great.
[02:59] <ssm2017> Blue1, i could find another mouse that is working, then i have pushed the wheel in all directions to try to get an answer and sudenly, the problem dissapeared, so it looks like it was a dust problem (than you for attention)
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> mouse: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[02:59] <Fretta> any ideas iptables http://pastie.org/1523783 <-- error iptables v1.3.8: Unknown arg `--sport'
[02:59] <Engrish> hello
[02:59] <Blue1> ssm2017: ah kewl - glad you got it working
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> mouse: remember, once you have changed the screen and logged back in there is ONE MORE command to run to complete the job
[02:59] <mouse> ActionParsnip, Thank you.  Is this also the case for 10.10?
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> mouse: yes, its the same GDM
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> mouse: step 6 is the last step when all is done
[03:00] <quantumtransfer> curious if anyone can give me some assist
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> mouse: if you don't, every time you go to the login screen you will be bothered to change the wallpaper etc again and again
[03:02] <jethrot> please help, i have a similar issue and cannot figure out how to fix it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1402699
[03:02] <quantumtransfer> it seems like everyone is on a coffee break
[03:03] <mouse> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu tweak is also useful for this.
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> mouse: not used it, I can change what I need without an extra ap :)
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> quantumtransfer: what's your issue?
[03:03] <mouse> ActionParsnip, And one less entry in your repositories too.
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> mouse: i guess, not a huge saving but still a saving
[03:04] <reason> hey i have a small issue when your ready
[03:04] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: I am having this issue noted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1593705 . I tried the solution found on post #16. This method doesn't work for me. Do you have any idea's? I am pretty new at this stuff..
[03:05] <alter-ego> hey ever since i enabled virtulization in bios i noticed increased system hangs... when i look at system monitor   my cpu2 is stuck at 100% and my 4 fills up very quickly
[03:05] <paq7512> is an lts version much better?
[03:05] <linuxpusher_> reason, state the issue
[03:05] <Blue1> paq7512: lts means that it is supported longer --
[03:06] <paq7512> it is more stable or can having the latest version be as fine?
[03:06] <iszak> So I searched for unity's PPA but it seems rather old, where can I get the latest version of unity?
[03:06] <linuxpusher_> reason:state the issue
[03:07] <reason> i'm trying to use exe files using wine but linux has blocked me saying its untrusted i've tried to change privliges but linux keeps unticking it how do i get around this
[03:07] <Blue1> paq7512: it depends on what you want/need.  If you need stability then go with lts.  if you need a bleeding edge driver, then go with something newer.
[03:07] <alter-ego> ever since i enabled Virtualization in bios my CPU2 is stuck at 100% anyone know how to fix this... its a quad core
[03:07] <iszak> disable virtualization.
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> quantumtransfer: have you tested your RAM?
[03:07] <iszak> supposedly anything > 4 cores doesn't really help
[03:08] <alter-ego> so should i only run 1 cpu on my guest os then?
[03:08] <DareDevil01> Does anybody knows how i change the grub 2 menu list, is not the same way as before that i needed to edit the menu.lst
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> quantumtransfer: or boot to root recovery mode with network and get fully updated.
[03:08] <alter-ego> its not running when my cpu2 is at 100% btw
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> quantumtransfer: what release is that?
[03:08] <AbhijiT> !grub2 | DareDevil01 there is no menu.lst in grub2
[03:09] <brandon420> how do i play .mkv?
[03:09] <rww> iszak: in the development version of Ubuntu. There isn't a PPA backport of the latest version of Unity to maverick.
[03:09] <AbhijiT> brandon420, install vlc
[03:09] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: when i follow the directions located on post #16. @ the boot menu where it asks to boot from usb, boot to HD, memtest ect. it acts like it refreshes the screen but nothing else, when i go into help then press f6 it gives minor things to change but not what was mentioned in the post. after it boots and i get the same screen.
[03:09] <AbhijiT> !restricted | brandon420
[03:09] <DareDevil01> I need to edit the menu not actually repair it
[03:09] <DareDevil01> i just need to edit the menu
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: install w32codecs, mplayer and vlc and you should be able to play it
[03:09] <DareDevil01> how do you do it in grub 2
[03:09] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: yes, memory is fine.
[03:09] <brandon420> thanks man
[03:09] <iszak> rww, NOO D: so I need 11.04?
[03:09] <AbhijiT> DareDevil01, yeah go to that docs see which file is there to edit go thro doc.
[03:09] <kstar66> can someone please help me with installing a new theme? After I download it, I decompress the file, went into appearence and tried loadnig it from there... but it did not work.. its a metacity file.
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> quantumtransfer: ok did you try root recovery with network?
[03:09] <rww> iszak: natty is the current development version of Ubuntu, and will become 10.04, yes.
[03:10] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: also i checked the checksum of the image, it was also fine
[03:10] <rww> 11.04 **
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> quantumtransfer: and what release is it?
[03:10] <iszak> rww, how stable is 11.04?
[03:10] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: 10.10
[03:10] <rww> iszak: it isn't
[03:10] <gunndawg> iszak, not real
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> iszak: ask in #ubuntu+1
[03:10] <iszak> come on, i'm sure it's stable.
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> iszak: natty is offtopic here
[03:10] <gunndawg> iszak, if your sure its stable then why ask ?
[03:10] <iszak> alright, thanks.
[03:10] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: i dont know by what you mean to try root recovery with network
[03:11] <DareDevil01> Thank you

[03:17] <Nanoha> okay, so I'm trying this again.  I'm installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS on a second SATA 2TB hard drive.  It should complete in a few minutes.  I will see if I can boot my computer up using this new installation.  I guess one can not pull out a hard drive out of another computer and put it into another computer and expect it to boot up, huh?

[03:20] <Nanoha> noisewaterphd: hmm.  I thought it would work too, but...hence I'm having problems. LOL
[03:20] <reason> if that makes sense
[03:20] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: that did not work.
[03:20] <chima> I went to the java website and it said I need an update
[03:21] <chima> I downloaded a self extracting file
[03:21] <philo> twitch: my computer will be off
[03:21] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: the problem i am hasing is that i cannot find a play to put in the kernal args at the install boot
[03:21] <chima> which is a .bin
[03:21] <SnakeATWAR|Mr-X> is there someone online who can help me to get the samba service to broadcast to the workgroup? how do i set up an identity to broadcast?
[03:21] <bazhang> chima, thats not how to get java
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> quantumtransfer: if you are using wireless, I suggest you get a wired connection as wireless is trickier to setup in terminal
[03:21] <chima> on the website it tells me to download it?
[03:21] <mbvpixies78> I'm getting connection refused with rsync.  Where do I check for port 22 to be open and accepting SSH connections?
[03:21] <bazhang> chima, thats not the correct way, what version of ubuntu you on
[03:22] <Sharpclaw> Also, when I have a screen saver and I log out or suspend, it just shows my screensaver and I can't get out of it.
[03:22] <OEP> I am stumped. Is there a package that's supposed to provide res.cls for latex? I thought it was texlive-latex-extra...
[03:22] <alter-ego> ever since i enabled virtualization in bios my cpu2 (outta 4) has been stuck at 100% usage... is there a way to fix this without turning virtualization off?

[03:23] <SC-M> How to ByPass SUDO Password?
[03:23] <bazhang> SC-M, you dont
[03:23] <bazhang> SC-M, stop asking for it
[03:23] <SC-M> i'm tired of the sudo passwd
[03:23] <quantumtransfer> actionparsnip: perhaps your not understanding.. i am running the live boot from usb and i cannot even get into the live desktop because i get a graphical glitch. the fix noted in the forums has a fix, but it does not work for me because there is not a place to put in kernel args with in the boot screen from the live usb. if there is that information is pertinent.
[03:24] <alter-ego> ever since i enabled virtualization in bios my cpu2 (outta 4) has been stuck at 100% usage... is there a way to fix this without turning virtualization off?
[03:24] <mouse> !java > mouse
[03:24] <twitch> SC-M: then type "sudo su" and run everything as root ;)
[03:24] <bazhang> twitch, dont recommend that here
[03:24] <SnakeATWAR|Mr-X> can someone help me make samba visible on the windows network? i can access via ip but not via browsing
[03:24] <noisewaterphd> SC-M: if you need to be working as superuser for some time you can just su to the root user for the session
[03:25] <reason> fine..
[03:25] <bazhang> noisewaterphd, twitch its sudo -i
[03:25] <SC-M> aahh.. now i found
[03:25] <noisewaterphd> SC-M: but as said, their is no way to just not require it, that would defeat the excellent nix security model
[03:25] <Engrish> is there a way to retain data in a RAID if i do a fresh install?
[03:26] <alter-ego> ever since i enabled virtualization in bios my cpu2 (outta 4) has been stuck at 100% usage... is there a way to fix this without turning virtualization off?
[03:26] <Hornet> I have an issue with an ntfs drive not properly auto-mounting at start, despite a manual entry in fstab to load it, namely: UUID=# /media/ntfs_storage ntfs detaults,user,exec,rw 0 0
[03:26] <SC-M> sudo visudo then (userID) ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL , ex: r00tzero ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[03:26] <Hornet> any ideas as to why it won't mount at startup?
[03:26] <Hornet> the 'old' UUID entry appears in the 'places' list and mounts when clicked
[03:27] <noob_> Hey, I know there are ways to edit keyboard shortcuts, but is there any way to edit the keys themselves? Like have A be B?
[03:27] <quantumtransfer> Is there away to perform a special setup when installing ubuntu from usb, is there a way to input kernel args some where in the boot screen ?
[03:27] <linuxpusher> Anyone know if Crossover and Wine are compatible?
[03:27] <Hornet> noob_, look into xmodmap

[03:28] <AbhijiT> !repeat | alter-ego
[03:28] <mouse> Hornet, I feel silly saying this but you misspelled defaults.  Could that be it?
[03:28] <SC-M> what is: Ubuntu-based OS ?
[03:28] <alter-ego> i have been searching
[03:28] <noob_> Alright thanks
[03:28] <alter-ego> and i have been in here for hrs
[03:28] <Hornet> mouse, I mistyped it on here, that wasn't a copy/paste
[03:29] <mouse> Hornet, Ah.
[03:29] <Snake|Mr-X> can someone please help me make my samba service visible on windows?
[03:30] <Hornet> futher info: the 'ntfs_storage' entry appears in the 'places' list, but complains about it being already mounted when clicked, even though it isn't (even as the UUID one)
[03:30] <SC-M> what is different between ubuntu and ubuntu-based dist?
[03:30] <Hornet> SC-M, it's what it says on the tin tbh
[03:30] <bazhang> SC-M, one is on topic here
[03:30] <AbhijiT> SC-M, distrowatch.org
[03:30] <AbhijiT> bazhang, :D
[03:30] <SC-M> cool
[03:30] <chima> bazhang my shell doesnt want to copy and past certain things
[03:30] <bazhang> SC-M, lets move chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[03:31] <SC-M> how to install unity in ubuntu?
[03:31] <SC-M> -ubuntudesktop-
[03:31] <bazhang> chima, enable partner repo first
[03:32] <chima> im trying to copy the text that ubottu gave me from "Copy text" but its not letting me
[03:32] <brandon420> can anyone help me with cairo dock?
[03:32] <Deemux> my ubuntu 10.04.1 wont start, i get a black page with BusyBox v1.13.3(Ubuntu …….) (initramfs) any body had this problem or know how to fix it?
[03:33] <Mindkontrol> hello everyone
[03:33] <chima> sorry man
[03:33] <bazhang> chima, whats the exact error
[03:33] <Mindkontrol> does anyone here use tor or sasl to connect to irc?
[03:33] <Snake|Mr-X> I can see the server visible on the workgroup from the same computer but windows in not able to see it
[03:33] <bazhang> Mindkontrol, best ask in #freenode about that
[03:33] <Snake|Mr-X> is not able*
[03:33] <chima> ok forget the copy and paste. i get command not found
[03:34] <Hornet> anyone have any ideas on my mount issue?
[03:34] <bazhang> chima, then you are likely putting in the wrong command ie spelled something wrong
[03:34] <BlueBomber7> Hornet: I never caught it.  Repeating yourself (infrequently!) helps better than a "how 'bout now, guys?" ;)
[03:35] <Frank_Ec> provide help in Spanish
[03:35] <bazhang> Frank_Ec, in #ubuntu-es
[03:35] <Hornet> BlueBomber7, that would mean re-spamming everything, check your scrollback
[03:35] <mouse> Hornet, My only ideas are about the options.  Have you tried with different options or are you experienced enough with each one to rule it out?
[03:36] <Deemux> my ubuntu 10.04.1 wont start, i get a black page with BusyBox v1.13.3(Ubuntu …….) (initramfs) any body had this problem or know how to fix it?
[03:36] <craigbass1976> I was just in here (at someone else's house) and had to leave, so if anyone answered me earlier, I apologize for asking again...  A friend is on a slow connection, and the jre download keeps conking out.  Can I download it some other way and bring it to her computer on a thumb drive?
[03:36] <BlueBomber7> Hornet, you send a message either way, no?  Might as well be more specific.
[03:36] <Hornet> well, those options should work for ntfs, and 'auto' is implicit
[03:36] <linuxpusher> !sp | Frank_Ec
[03:36] <chima> bazhang I cant get the code that ubottu gave me into terminal. ive tried right click cntrl +c but nothing
[03:36] <Hornet> BlueBomber7, would be 3/4 messages to set out all the info again
[03:36] <craigbass1976> Deemux, can you Ctrl+Alt+F1 and get to a terminal?
[03:36] <dzup2>                                        
[03:36] <BlueBomber7> linuxpusher: He left already...
[03:37] <rww> \
[03:37] <rww> \
[03:37] <rww> rf
[03:37] <Deemux> no i cant tried that.
[03:37] <FloodBot2> rww: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:37] <rww> sorry, dropped keyboard
[03:37] <bazhang> chima, try typing it out
[03:37] <Hornet> "I have an issue with an ntfs drive not properly auto-mounting at start, despite a manual entry in fstab to load it, namely: UUID=# /media/ntfs_storage ntfs detaults,user,exec,rw 0 0"
[03:37] <zab> 有人在吗？
[03:37] <craigbass1976> Deemux, Ugh... can oyu boot to a live cd and look at logs?
[03:37] <Hornet> futher info: the 'ntfs_storage' entry appears in the 'places' list, but complains about it being already mounted when clicked, even though it isn't (even as the UUID one)
[03:37] <bazhang> zab, english here
[03:37] <Hornet> BlueBomber7 ^
[03:37] <bazhang> zab, chinese in #ubuntu-cn
[03:37] <linuxpusher> BlueBomber7, time 4 me to go intermittent_ internet
[03:38] <zab> ok
[03:38] <Deemux> craigbass1976: i am on a live cd right now how do i see the logs?
[03:38] <BlueBomber7> Hornet: Did you manage to deduce if it's a nautilus problem or not?
[03:39] <Hornet> BlueBomber7, no idea tbh
[03:39] <BlueBomber7> Hornet: (I'm assuming you use nautilus for some reason :-D )
[03:39] <Engrish> anyone else have problem using Dlink wireless cards?
[03:40] <Hornet> (and I do use it yes)
[03:40] <mouse> Hornet, I have a manual entry in fstab for a ntfs parition too.  I can send it in a private message if you think it will help.
[03:40] <Hornet> please do mouse
[03:40] <chima> bazhang  is there anything wrong with this?
[03:41] <chima> bazhang  is there anything wrong with this? sudo add-apt-repository"deb http://archive.canonical.com/$(lsb_release-sc)partner"
[03:41] <brandon420> someone wanna help me get cairo dock working correctly?
[03:41] <Hornet> when clicking on the 'places' entry for the mount point, I get an exclusive mout warning, despite it _not_ being mounted automatically (otherwise I'd not be trying this....)
[03:41] <gunndawg> brandon420, whats the matter with it ?
[03:41] <brandon420> i only have the basic theme
[03:41] <Deemux> craigbass1976, i am on a live cd right now how do i see the logs?
[03:41] <BlueBomber7> Hornet: Did the output of
[03:41] <BlueBomber7> $ mount
[03:41] <BlueBomber7> help you determine anything yet?
[03:41] <bazhang> chima, you need a space there
[03:41] <brandon420> gunndawg,  i only have the default theme
[03:41] <Hornet> BlueBomber7, nothing useful no
[03:41] <gunndawg> brandon420 read the docs. and it should tell you about themes
[03:42] <Space-Duck> After I mount a FTP, can I create some kind of shortcut to automount it later? (The real problem is I have a few FTPs and cant remember the passwords for all of them)
[03:42] <bazhang> sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" chima
[03:42] <chima> bazhang it worked
[03:42] <chima> i got return $
[03:42] <bazhang> chima, now update sources.list then install the java
[03:43] <KM0201> bazhang: whats the $ trigger?
[03:43] <skilz> what device is a ps2 keyboard usually? something like /dev/ps2 ?
[03:43] <KM0201> (not disputing what you're saying, never saw it done that way)
[03:43] <bazhang> KM0201, pardon?
[03:43] <Hornet> BlueBomber7, now I can see it as /dev/sdd1 /media/uuid - but that's only after I mounted it by clicking on the menu (which _didn't_ work for the ntfs_storage option, which was allegedly already mounted)
[03:43] <KM0201> bazhang: in the line you gave him, you put a $ right before the ( )
[03:44] <bazhang> KM0201, partner repo one? !partner
[03:44] <KM0201> hmm.
[03:44] <KM0201> ok.
[03:44] <KM0201> i'd just never saw it added like that.
[03:44] <craigbass1976> Deemux, mount up the / of your installed ubuntu (I usually just put it in /mnt)  so sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt
[03:44] <bazhang> check with /msg ubottu :)
[03:45] <skilz> would  Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input2
[03:45] <skilz>  be my keyboard?
[03:45] <craigbass1976> Deemux, so long as /dev/sda1 is your root partition.  Then the logs would be in /mnt/var/log/
[03:46] <Frank_Ec> how I can configure the Anope alises 1.8.5?
[03:47] <juniour> hi

[03:48] <juniour>  kstar66 have you tried ubuntu tweak
[03:48] <craigbass1976> A friend is on a slow connection, and the jre download keeps conking out.  Can I download it some other way and bring it to her computer on a thumb drive?
[03:48] <kstar66> used premier.. But premier only allows me to pick from a selection.
[03:48] <kstar66> not use my own.
[03:48] <bazhang> juniour, please do not recommend that here
[03:48] <chima> bazhand i updated sources.list with sudo apt-get update
[03:49] <chima> bazhang
[03:49] <bazhang> chima, fine
[03:49] <bazhang> chima, now install java

[03:49] <juniour>  bazhang why not?
[03:49] <kstar66> i really dont care.. I just want someone to assist me.
[03:49] <bazhang> juniour, its not supported here, and breaks things. Please don't
[03:50] <OEP> Anyone know the correct latex package for res.cls? Tried texlive-latex-extra but I don't think that did it.
[03:50] <craigbass1976> Deemux, just type mount and what are the last couple of entries?
[03:50] <kstar66> how can I install a theme..onto premier. I just downloaded..
[03:50] <kenyabob> Is this the biggest room on freenode?
[03:50] <chima> from update manager?
[03:50] <bazhang> kenyabob, yes
[03:50] <juniour>  bazhang it supports i am using it
[03:50] <mouse> bazhang, I use ubuntu tweak.  Do you suggest I stop?
[03:50] <chima> bazhang i mean software center?
[03:50] <bazhang> juniour, its not supported here. Please lets move on
[03:51] <juniour>  bazhang dude i am using it
[03:51] <kstar66> junior.. how do I use that program to install the theme?
[03:51] <mouse> juniour, He means this support channel doesn't troubleshoot it.
[03:52] <kstar66> but if junior is recommending it.. and he can help me..
[03:52] <kstar66> why not
[03:52] <kstar66> the #1 goal is to assist/help right?
[03:52] <bazhang> kstar66, its not supported here, and when it breaks things you are out of luck.
[03:52] <Deemux> craigbass1976, binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt..... and gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/ubuntu/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse....

[03:53] <sriram_> anyone tell how to disable user login prompt fom showing users list
[03:53] <bazhang> juniour, thats not true
[03:53] <JoseeAntonioR> Hi! I need help with my iPod Touch 4G iOs 4.2, Ubuntu doesn't recognizes it. I followed this steps (http://www.viviendolinux.com/en/installation-impossible/linux-and-the-ipod-touch-4g.html) and now it doesn't recognizes it.
[03:53] <craigbass1976> Deemux, no /dev/sda2 anywhere?
[03:54] <KM0201> juniour: ubuntu tweak really isn't a great idea.. you probably don't remember back in the day the mess that "automatix" caused.
[03:54] <kstar66> i have tweak..
[03:54] <kstar66> im asking how I use it to solve my issue.
[03:54] <craigbass1976> sriram, I've actually been wondering that myself... this new way is like windows
[03:54] <juniour>  bazhang it true i think u tyr u cna find there
[03:54] <bazhang> kstar66, you dont
[03:54] <kstar66> of installing the theme I downloaded from gnome.
[03:54]  * KM0201 imagines bazhang's remembers the automatix disasters
[03:54] <joeoshawa> xrandr doesn't work with multi diplays and nvidia so i cannot change the resolution that way
[03:54] <mouse> If I have ubuntu tweak should I stop using it?
[03:54] <kstar66> this is out of control..
[03:55] <kstar66> lol
[03:55] <sriram_> craig , i see
[03:55] <KM0201> mouse: ubuntu tweak does things that really you should be able to do w/o a 3rd party tool.. none of it is horribly complex w/o automatix
[03:55] <kstar66> alls I want to know is how to use anything.. including tweak.. to install my new boot up theme.
[03:55] <chima> bazhang i enabled lucid right?was that the partner package?
[03:55] <KM0201> *tweak
[03:55] <Deemux> craigbass1976, nop /dev/sda2 is not there
[03:55] <mouse> I'm more worried about my machine's security than having a discussion over the usefulness of tweak.
[03:55] <bazhang> chima, you're on maverick so no
[03:55] <kstar66> ill do it with out tweak... someone just tell m.e
[03:55] <doobien> JoseeAntonioR, you can use rhythmbox and drag music and vid into your ipod
[03:55] <chima> o ya
[03:55] <jsec> TWEAK = NO GOOD. nuff said.
[03:56] <jsec> !caps | jsec
[03:56] <m_fulder> hm why can't I still reach my external IP (by IP or DN) when Im in LAN? when beeing outside I can reach it just fine but not in LAN any ideas why?
[03:56] <kstar66> how do you install a newly downloaded theme for boot up using premier
[03:56] <JoseeAntonioR> doobien But it doesn't recognizes it. If it did, I wouldn't be here
[03:56] <KM0201> mouse: usually when you "upgrade" is when those third-party tools(automatix, tweak, envy, etc..) rear their ugly head.
[03:56] <KM0201> whatever happened to automatix?
[03:56] <mouse> kstar66, http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[03:56] <doobien> doesn't mount when plugging in you mean?
[03:57] <Thales> mouse, why you should stop using it?
[03:57] <mouse> KM0201, And those updates do more harm than good right?  Is it intentional or just bad writing?
[03:57] <rww> KM0201: automatix got discontinued and regurgitated as ultamatix, which is still being developed and still crap.
[03:57] <Deemux> craigbass1976, do u think there is a way i can access my files from the live cd?
[03:57] <KM0201> rww: yeah, i was just googling that.
[03:57] <JoseeAntonioR> doobien Yes. I've followed this steps (http://a.joj.me/1G) and when I've finished problems started. Any idea of how to revert them?
[03:57] <craigbass1976> Deemux, hrmmmm  But it's busy when you try to mount it....  Yes, I totally think you can get at them from the livecd
[03:58] <rww> KM0201: and ultamatix is part of Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, which is one of the reasons the name of Ultimate Edition is hilarious.
[03:58] <KM0201> mouse, the updates (if they are ubuntu updates) are fine, what usually happens(or at least what would happen w/ envy and automatix) is it would pull in its own updates also, and almost ALWAYS break an upgrade
[03:58] <craigbass1976> Deemux, did you try mounting sda1?
[03:58] <KM0201> rww: thats just sad...lol
[03:58] <doobien> JoseeAntonioR, sorry, my 4gs worked from the start without any changes made
[03:58] <chima> bazhang the java website says I dont have the latest version but terminal does
[03:59] <mouse> KM0201, I disabled the new repository once I got tweak out of fear of the updates.
[03:59] <ubun> My labtop's wireless is disabled... i found that this might be common... can any one help me enable it..?
[03:59] <KM0201> mouse: that's probably smart.
[03:59] <bazhang> chima, you dont need to worry about the java website, you are installing from repos, not there
[03:59] <Deemux> craigbass1976, sda1 gives me mount:wrong fs type, bad option ...
[03:59] <bazhang> chima, try checking in package manager now for java packages to install
[03:59] <mouse> KM0201, Yeah I'm real wary of what repositories I add.
[04:00] <KM0201> mouse: you'll probably be ok in that instance.. but really, tweak does nothing, that 5min of googling won't give you the answer, w/o googling
[04:00] <KM0201> mouse: sorry, w/o tweak
[04:01] <craigbass1976> Deemux, sudo fdisk /dev/sda  When you get to Command (m for help):  type a lowercase p and hit enter.
[04:01] <chima> bazhang synaptic package manager? what do I search?
[04:01]  * pragma_ ops itself.
[04:01]  * pragma_ deops itself.
[04:01] <mouse> KM0201, I agree.  I just like thinking I can change my loginscreen without having to logout since I'm usually multitasking.
[04:02] <bazhang> chima, java
[04:02] <chasis> hello, i need a software that can add blur to a part of a video
[04:02] <joeoshawa> whatever you want to do if ubuntu doesn't do it already you can make ubuntu do it if you google search enough
[04:02] <craigbass1976> Deemux, oh, forget it.  If you're already there, hit q to quit.
[04:03] <mouse> Then again it's not worth risking the death of my machine over it.  I think I'll remove it.
[04:03] <joeoshawa> for instance changing the login theme
[04:03] <Deemux> craigbass1976, yes i got something
[04:03] <KM0201> mouse: death is probably a little extreme, but i would remove it.
[04:03] <chima> bazhang there are atlease 50 packages. should I chose all?
[04:03] <craigbass1976> ANYONE!  How to you tell what the filesystem type is on a given partition?  I forgot and told Deemux to fdisk and see, but that only says Linux, not ext3, 4, etc
[04:04] <AbhijiT> fisk -l
[04:04] <bazhang> chima, please re-read the bot link, the part about  sun-java6- packages
[04:04] <JoseeAntonioR> Hello, my PC crashed
[04:05] <v0lksman> any good gui pdf editor/compressor/merging apps?
, best way check /etc/fstab
[04:05] <Axlin> craigbass1976: df -T
[04:05] <joeoshawa> when they took sun java off ubuntu i hated it took me 10 seconds to start figuring out how to change it back
[04:06] <AbhijiT> craigbass1976, sudo fdisk -b 512 -l /dev/sda
[04:06] <JoseeAntonioR> I have a problem, my PC don't recognizes my iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.2 since i have followed this steps (http://a.joj.me/1G)... Any idea on how to revert them?
[04:06] <joeoshawa> so many things require sun java to work
[04:06] <rww> not really
[04:07] <craigbass1976> Axlin, how do you tell df to check a particular partition?  Does that only work on mounted partitons?
[04:07] <mouse> Since we were talking about repositories would there be in harm in the google chrome repositories or can it be trusted?
[04:07] <craigbass1976> Deemux, what's df -T say?
[04:07] <joeoshawa> rww not really what who are you responding too
[04:07] <rww> mouse: do you trust Google?
[04:07] <craigbass1976> mouse, it's google.  Of course it can't be trusted,
[04:07] <Axlin> craigbass1976: just list the partition at the end. e.g., df -T /dev/sda1
[04:07] <rww> joeoshawa: okay
[04:08] <KM0201> joeoshawa: google info is "typically" safe... "Trust but verify"
[04:08] <chima> is doesnt really tell me what to do after I use the repo bazhang
[04:08] <craigbass1976> Axlin, Ahh ok.  I needed to preface it with sudo
[04:08] <mouse> rww, craigbass1976, That's been my thinking too but it never hurts to be sure.
[04:08] <akhyariz> v0lksman: use pdftk, it's esay command line
[04:08] <craigbass1976> Deemux, sudo df -t /dev/sda1
[04:08] <bazhang> chima, did you search for the sun-java6- packages yet?
[04:08] <v0lksman> akhyariz, it doesn't seem to want to compress the pdfs I'm throwing at it..
[04:08] <mouse> They are still interested in making money after all.
[04:08] <Axlin> really? sorry i missed that then
[04:08] <craigbass1976> mouse, the more I watch, the more I wonder if they're worse than MS... but that's offtopic.  :)
[04:09] <joeoshawa> I didn't ask about google but thanks KM0201  good advice i always do
[04:09] <joeoshawa> rww i was asking who you were saying not really to
[04:09] <mouse> craigbass1976, WORSE than MS?  Is such a thing possible?
[04:09] <joeoshawa> i still am wondering
[04:09] <Deemux> craigbass1976, i got no file system processed
[04:09] <rww> joeoshawa: interesting.
[04:10] <akhyariz> v0lksman: oh, i use pdftk to cut or merge pdf pages
[04:10] <craigbass1976> Deemux, meh?
[04:10] <craigbass1976> Anyone else?
[04:10] <craigbass1976> brb
[04:10] <chima> bazhang ya and I chose two packages to update
[04:10] <v0lksman> akhyariz, yeah it did a good job merging but the pdfs I'm feeding it are uncompressed from inkscape...they should be much smaller
[04:11] <bazhang> chima, ok, then install them
[04:11] <Deemux> craigbass1976, u said u know how to get my files from a live cd?
[04:11] <kids> hi
[04:11] <akhyariz> v0lksman: sorry, i have no suggestion for that
[04:11] <v0lksman> akhyariz, thanks anyways! :)
[04:11] <chima> bazhang there was an option to download only but I left it unticked. do I still have to manually install?

[04:15] <KM0201> gangdrama: whether it has a mac versio is irrelevant
[04:16] <joeoshawa> Deemux, what error does it give or does it give one
[04:16] <sacarlson> gangdrama: there is a download manager inside firefox and most other browsers

[04:21] <Engrish> i'm trying to decompress a bz2 file but bzip2 say it's not a bz2 file?
[04:21] <bazhang> Engrish, whats the file
[04:21] <wildbat> Deemux: may be you can try mounting the drive with command line ?
[04:21] <Engrish> Ralink's wireless card driver
[04:22] <bazhang> Engrish, which card
[04:22] <Engrish> WMP600N
[04:22] <gangdrama> Ever you heard of bugmenot?
[04:22] <diego_> how can i get compiz at Kubuntu start?
[04:22] <Engrish> it's linksys brand but Ralink chip
[04:22] <Deemux> wildbat, how do u do that?
[04:22] <Nanoha> GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
[04:22] <bazhang> Engrish, which chipset please
[04:22] <JoseeAntonioR> Anyone here knows how to revert this? http://a.joj.me/1G Now my PC doesn't recognizes my iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.2
[04:22] <Engrish> RT2860
[04:22] <Nanoha> I  installed a brand new installation of 10.04.1. LTS on a brand new 2TB hard drive.
[04:22] <sherorox> guys I think my Sun Java is broken
[04:23] <Nanoha> the install was sucessful but... I can not get past "Loading Operating System..."!
[04:23] <Nanoha> (after reboot)
[04:23] <wildbat> Deemux: what you are trying to mount btw?
[04:23] <KirkMcDonald> Nanoha: Are there multiple hard drives in the system?
[04:23] <Nanoha> not right now
[04:23] <Deemux> wildbat: sda2
[04:23] <kstar66> my login window wont let me unlock it? any suggestions?
[04:24] <JoseeAntonioR> Anyone here knows how to mount manually an iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.2 on Maverick?
[04:24] <KirkMcDonald> Nanoha: Did you install Grub? :-)
[04:24] <joeoshawa> Deemux, did it mount the drive anyway is it in the places menu
[04:24] <Nanoha> I just follwed the installation wizard
[04:25] <joeoshawa> i found a bug where you get that error and it mounts anyway
[04:25] <KirkMcDonald> Hmm. I'm not sure, then.
[04:25] <joeoshawa> someone reported it
[04:25] <sherorox> can someone help me fix my SunJava?
[04:25] <Deemux> joeoshawa, it is but it wont mount
[04:25] <Nanoha> anyway, wouldn't I be getting "Missing Operating System" or something like that without Grub?
[04:26] <joeoshawa> if its in the places menu just click on it
[04:26] <joeoshawa> should open
[04:26] <bazhang> sherorox, fix? where was it installed from?
[04:26] <ray24> how do you filter out weirdoes on ubuntu
[04:26] <KirkMcDonald> Nanoha: It would probably depend on your particular BIOS.
[04:26] <Deemux> i get the error unable to mount Filesystem
[04:26] <wildbat> Deemux: sudo mkdir /mnt/sda2; sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
[04:26] <bazhang> ray24, pardon?
[04:26] <Nanoha> If I turn off all of my drives in BIOS, I get missing operatin system
[04:26] <KirkMcDonald> I see.
[04:27] <joeoshawa> ray24, exit chat lol
[04:27] <ray24> but i want to chat to normal people
[04:27] <joeoshawa> Nanoha, umm yeah
[04:27] <joeoshawa> one would think
[04:28] <sherorox> I went on the Ubuntu website and it gave me alot of things to install among them Sun java bazhang
[04:28] <bazhang> ray24, this is ubuntu support chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:28] <Nanoha> I'm thinking I am not going to be buying another Gigabyte motherboard ever again.
[04:28] <linoge> hi, what's the gnome-ruby library for ruby1.9.1?
[04:28] <Engrish> bazhang...never i'm stupid...didn't set WLCD to wlan1
[04:28] <bazhang> sherorox, and what part is broken ie what error messages etc
[04:28] <Engrish> *nevermind
[04:28] <sherorox> I know I have it because when I run java -version it spits it out bazhang
[04:29] <sherorox> ok well for example things do not look normal
[04:29] <KirkMcDonald> Nanoha: In reading the scrollback some more, my first impulse is to blame the change in hardware.
[04:29] <sherorox> bazhang the irc chat is a tab not a pop out window
[04:29] <Nanoha> not this time. LOL
[04:29] <sherorox> bazhang .jars do not open up properly
[04:29] <Nanoha> this was a brand new hard drive, empty.  installed with the current hardwear
[04:29] <KirkMcDonald> Oh, okay.
[04:30] <sherorox> bazhang ie .jar open up with files and folders
[04:30] <bazhang> sherorox, sounds like an irc2go issue not java
[04:30] <joeoshawa> Nanoha, why i love gigabyte dual bios and well built
[04:30] <juk> hi, im feeding sqlite huge sql file, and want to see progress on which line it's now goes, would be nice
[04:30] <sherorox> no I tried irc before and this is not correct
[04:30] <KirkMcDonald> Nanoha: Can you get a shell from the install CD?
[04:30] <bazhang> sherorox, any actual error messages?
[04:31] <Nanoha> they might be built well, but I've been banging my head against a brick wall for the past day and a half now
[04:31] <joeoshawa> whats the problem
[04:31] <KirkMcDonald> Nanoha: Then can you mount the boot partition on the hard drive from that shell?
[04:31] <nmvictor> does AMD64 ubuntu run on intel64 machine? When I select 64bit in the download section I the AMD64 version is downloaded by default
[04:31] <Nanoha> I can load GRML froma  CD and drop to a shell, and see the contents of the hard drive
[04:31] <KirkMcDonald> Okay.
[04:31] <rww> nmvictor: yes
[04:31] <bazhang> nmvictor, yep
[04:31] <sherorox> bazhang. There is no actual error message or evidence of it not working, however, I am not able to open any jars
[04:31] <Deemux> wildbat: it just hangs there, is it supposed to take a while?
[04:32] <nmvictor> bazhang, rww , thanks all
[04:32] <sherorox> I do not have the OpenJDK because that can interfere with some programs that I have
[04:32] <wildbat> Deemux:  shouldn't be to long ~
[04:32] <sherorox> bazhang, I want to stick with the default Sun Java
[04:32] <nmvictor> bazhang, is their a chance for the 32bit to run on a 64bit machine?
[04:32] <joeoshawa> Nanoha, i hate to say it but ubuntu not loading is a ubuntu problem not a motherboard problem
[04:33] <joeoshawa> unless motherboard is fried
[04:33] <wildbat> Deemux: what kind of partition it is ?
[04:33] <rww> nmvictor: yes, it'll run fine.
[04:33] <bazhang> nmvictor, sure. how much ram you have
[04:33] <joeoshawa> i cannot install ubuntu 10.04 it will not see my hdd
[04:33] <joeoshawa> dunno why
[04:33] <LinuxAmt> I have a problem using windows (exe) in wine: ERROR MESSAGE: Blocked not marked as executable.  i Tried to click the execute tab within permissions in properties menu but linux keeps unticking it how do i resolve this problem?
[04:33] <joeoshawa> but 9.10 does and 10.10
[04:33] <bazhang> corrupt iso bad burn joeoshawa
[04:34] <Deemux> wildbat: it is on my laptop, and ubuntu is the only parition
[04:34] <Nanoha> but..... the first hard drive I had booted just fine in my old system>..?
[04:34] <joeoshawa> nope works on every other computer but a dell 2400 which is a well known issue
[04:34] <juk> is there any util like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/561743/
[04:34] <joeoshawa> tried three iso's all verified all burnt
[04:34] <wildbat> Deemux: may be you need a fsck ? is the sda1 working?
[04:34] <bazhang> joeoshawa, then check the bootoptions or try alternate installer
[04:35] <joeoshawa> used ubuntu 10.10 all good
[04:35] <nmvictor> bazhang, ream, 2GB. However, I tried that last night with my shipped 32bit ubuntu  and it could'nt load past the  splash screen so i guessed it was incompatible
[04:35] <joeoshawa> no problem
[04:35] <joeoshawa> just the 10.04 installer
[04:35] <joeoshawa> strange no
[04:35] <joeoshawa> oh well
[04:36] <Deemux> wildbat: i am restarting, i will try that when its up
[04:36] <andres_> hey guys is it xchat a good irc client?
[04:36] <joeoshawa> andres_, yes
[04:36] <Cpt_Zyph> guys i need some help with better available wifi details. im trouble shooting some of my office buildings and i figured a good test would be to check out my networks in the trouble areas.. via my laptop
[04:36] <bazhang> andres_, sure, try that, irssi weechat quassel decide what is best for you
[04:37] <Cpt_Zyph> i was hoping to just walk into some of the buildings and see / verify that the channels were correct as well as were it might be weak... how ever in my wifi network manager it just shows some bars and the name nothing more.. is there such a tool i can run ?
[04:37] <joeoshawa> unfortunately no client seems to support cut and paste
[04:37] <joeoshawa> annoying really
[04:37] <bazhang> joeoshawa, irc client?
[04:37] <joeoshawa> yes
[04:37] <joeoshawa> tried a bunch
[04:37] <DaGeek247> andres_  yes.
[04:37] <bazhang> sure they do
[04:37] <andres_> i was in an other server recently but i wasnt able to join into different channels
[04:37] <joeoshawa> which ones
[04:37] <bazhang> joeoshawa, which one are you using now
[04:37] <joeoshawa> i can paste in but not cut and pastte what you say into say a browser
[04:38] <ubun_> does anyone know how to enable wireless on a labtop...?
[04:38] <bazhang> !wifi | ubun_
[04:38] <juk> !register | andres_
[04:38] <bazhang> ubun_, please have a read of that ^
[04:38] <andres_> check on the top pannel ubun_
[04:38] <sacarlson> juk: looks like standard input to file so  cat > filename.txt   might be about the same
[04:38] <bazhang> joeoshawa, which client
[04:38] <joeoshawa> xchat
[04:38] <andres_> ubottu,  not this server
[04:39] <bazhang> joeoshawa, it works perfectly
[04:39] <joeoshawa> not for me
[04:39] <Cpt_Zyph> i was looking at wicd but i guess it requires replacing the network manager all togather..
[04:39] <andres_> i was logged in into hispano
[04:39] <joeoshawa> installed from repos
[04:39] <ubun_> k ill look at that now
[04:39] <bazhang> joeoshawa, what are you doing then to copy paste
[04:39] <joeoshawa> newest client i checked
[04:39] <juk> sacarlson: no, i need to see progress
[04:39] <joeoshawa> highlight right click
[04:39] <joeoshawa> same as every app
[04:39] <andres_> i used command /j channel but it didnt go through
[04:39] <joeoshawa> every program i ever used
[04:39] <juk> sacarlson: file quite huge and sqlite is slow
[04:39] <bazhang> joeoshawa, higlight then middle click
[04:40] <wildbat> Cpt_Zyph: airodump may be
[04:40] <LinuxAmt> hey andres did you use # on the channel name eg /j #mine
[04:40] <joeoshawa> now sorry but that is stupid why would you do that when every program i ever used uses right click in some way
[04:40] <Cpt_Zyph> wildbat can it run side by side with the network manager?
[04:40] <joeoshawa> on any os
[04:40] <CryonicCore_Ubun> hmm
[04:40] <bazhang> joeoshawa, that is the way to do it in xchat
[04:41] <joeoshawa> still stupid
[04:41] <bazhang> joeoshawa, so file a bug
[04:41] <wildbat> yea it is cli based ~ you can get it from aircrack package
[04:41] <Cpt_Zyph> wildbat is that a packet sniffer?
[04:41] <andres_> um
[04:41] <sacarlson> juk: I don't see any progress printed in the program,  but you could add another pipe that showed progress if needed
[04:42] <r007> .
[04:42] <wildbat> yea ;p but it do show you all channels and signal strenght, Cpt_Zyph
[04:42] <andres_> LinuxAmt,
[04:42] <juk> sacarlson: it's ok, i think it does it
[04:42] <andres_> let me see
[04:42] <Cpt_Zyph> wildbat thakn ya sir ill have to read up on this tool .. thx for the direction
[04:42] <LinuxAmt> did it work andres_?
[04:43] <hilarie> How would I run Game Conquerer in gksudo mode? it has 2 names?
[04:43] <hilarie> would it be gksudo Game_Conquerer?
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: running a game with gksudo? are you sure?
[04:43] <KB1JWQ> hilarie: Probably, try it and see.
[04:43] <andres_> LinuxAmt,  yes dude.. i thought commands work same here
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: you need to escape the space with a \ character
[04:43] <hilarie> @actionparsnip its a game cheat program, it edits memory, thus it needs admin powers
[04:43] <sacarlson> juk: if you want to add progress in the future the command pv might work http://linux.die.net/man/1/pv
[04:43] <ljsoftnet> when i xrandr command can i increase the given Maximum?
[04:44] <hilarie> so gksudo game\conquerer?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: Game\ Conquerer
[04:44] <species> in bash you can also use double quotes
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: remember case sensitivity
[04:44] <hilarie> kk
[04:44] <LinuxAmt> So has anyone got an answer to my problem? with the whole not bening able to make an exe program executible?
[04:44] <species> double quotes work with tab completion as well
[04:44] <Deemux> did anybody ever had this problem: when u restart ubuntu it hangs on BusyBox v1.13.3(Ubuntu …….) initramfs ...
[04:44] <species> gksudo "Game<space><tab>
[04:44] <r007> hilarie if it has a space in the name you need to use " " or \
[04:45] <DaGeek247> hilarie, just type in "game conqueror" and look at the suggestions.
[04:45] <Cpt_Zyph> wildbat thats a crazy looking tool..
[04:45] <andres_> LinuxAmt,  what are u trying to do?
[04:45] <juk> sacarlson: thanks, i was looking for it, forgot name, search came up with crappy bar and dbar

[04:46] <r007>  LinuxAmt chmod +x program.exe not work?
[04:46] <LinuxAmt> tring to install a windows exe with wine but linux says it's blocked because it is not marked as exicutible, i tried to sole the problem by going to permmitions and clicking the tab but linux keeps unticking it
[04:46] <LinuxAmt> any ideas?
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> LinuxAmt: try:  wine /path/to/filename.exe
[04:46] <r007>  LinuxAmt chmod +x program.exe
[04:46] <LinuxAmt> okay let me give it a go
[04:47] <r007>  LinuxAmt make that sudo chmod +x program.exe
[04:47] <LinuxAmt> k
[04:48] <kandinski> for some reason, my 10.4 won't upgrade to 10.10. Can I force that_
[04:48] <bazhang> kandinski, whats the error
[04:48] <bazhang> kandinski, pastebin if more than a line
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | kandinski
[04:48] <Deemux> ActionParsnip: i saw that didnt work 4 me, did this happen to u?
[04:48] <juk> sacarlson: i need bookmark them, too often notice awesome util and then forget after time
[04:48] <joeoshawa> kancerman, you might want to stick with 10.04 if it works for you since its and lts
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> Deemux: not personally, i've seen it a lot though
[04:49] <bazhang> joeoshawa, you mean kandinski
[04:49] <kandinski> bazhang: it's an alert window, let me do it again and paste the screenshot somewhere
[04:49] <joeoshawa> yeah sorry
[04:49] <kandinski> joeoshawa: I need to upgrade to try some ppas
[04:49] <bazhang> kandinski, in terminal?
[04:49] <joeoshawa> ahh
[04:49] <joeoshawa> cool
[04:49] <joeoshawa> just a thought
[04:49] <sacarlson> juk: by the time you bookmark them they make something even better
[04:49] <kandinski> bazhang: no, in the update center
[04:50] <bazhang> kandinski, a warning, or it just stops the upgrade process
[04:50] <kandinski> bazhang: it stops
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> kandinski: use the server upgrade method, there is a text file to edit, then you can upgrade off of LTS release to non-LTS
[04:50] <hilarie> Okay, I can't find the name of the actual program I am trying to run for Game Conqueror, is it possible to elevate priviliges for an applications w/o using terminal?
[04:50] <kandinski> ok, using server upgrade method now
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: you can use gksudo
[04:50] <joeoshawa> curious urban terror is in the repos now is it not
[04:50] <bazhang> !find terror
[04:51] <r007> hilarie yes gksudo nautilus
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: or make a script to run it correctly and put it ni /usr/bin
[04:51] <r007> hilarie that will launch nautilus as root
[04:51] <joeoshawa> !find urban
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: if you add the playdeb repo you can install it easily
[04:51] <hilarie> Thanks for the suggestion r007
[04:52] <JoseeAntonioR> How do I mount a device manually?
[04:52] <ljsoftnet> when i xrandr command can i increase the given Maximum resolution?
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> !mount | JoseeAntonioR
[04:52] <new2ubuntu> whats a good video editor for ubuntu
[04:52] <juk> sacarlson: :)
[04:52] <r007> hilarie np
[04:52] <joeoshawa> i was just wondering for next time i have dl it from the site like four or five times (long story don't ask)
[04:52] <CryonicCore_Ubun> I like Quassel IRC
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> new2ubuntu: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/
[04:52] <JoseeAntonioR> ActionParsnip: This works with an iPod Touch?
[04:52] <bazhang> new2ubuntu, pitivi openshot avidemux check the repos new2ubuntu
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> !ipod | JoseeAntonioR
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> JoseeAntonioR: not sure personally, i don't buy apple's garbage
[04:53] <KB1JWQ> !android
[04:53] <kandinski> ok, now trying the upgrade via server method
[04:53] <JoseeAntonioR> ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks.
[04:53] <hilarie> Okay
[04:53] <sacarlson> JoseeAntonioR: normaly devices are mounted auto at boot or at plugin,  you can unload and load modules to setup drivers that would mount a device manuly,  if you mean a disk drive you can use the mount command
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> kandinski: i find it easier, edit a simple file then run 2 commands
[04:53] <hilarie> Where do I go to make a suggestion?
[04:54] <rww> hilarie: about what?
[04:54] <bazhang> !brainstorm | hilarie
[04:54] <hilarie> It is absolutely fucking rediculous that there is no GUI option to run something as admin
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[04:54] <rww> ah.
[04:54] <KB1JWQ> !language | hilarie
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: there is, gksudo
[04:54] <joeoshawa> JoseeAntonioR, apple made it so you can't mount new ipods in linux but a solution is almost finished
[04:54] <korokosa> hello
[04:54] <bazhang> hilarie, watch the swearing
[04:54] <JoseeAntonioR> sacarlson: No, I need to mount an iPod Touch 4G because when I connect it Ubuntu doesn't recognizes it
[04:54] <korokosa> exit
[04:54] <hilarie> W/O Commandline!
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: press ALT+F2!!
[04:54] <korokosa> quit
[04:54] <korokosa> :q
[04:54] <KB1JWQ> korokosa: You dropped this: /
[04:54] <korokosa> help
[04:54] <bazhang> hilarie, use the run menu
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: you can even make a script to run the commands you need then make a pretty icon to run the script, the gksudo will appear to ask for authentication too
[04:55] <hilarie> @Actionparsnip thank you!
[04:55] <joeoshawa> JoseeAntonioR, does it give you an invalid checksum
[04:55] <hilarie> I don't want to make a script, to do something so stupidly simple
[04:55] <Deemux> wildbat: how do u use fsck?
[04:55] <JoseeAntonioR> joeoshawa: I don't know what a checksum is.
[04:55] <DaGeek247> hilarie, calm down.
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: you can make it appear as a desktop icon then which you can click
[04:55] <ljsoftnet> in the terminal when i xrandr command can i increase the given Maximum resolution?
[04:55] <wildbat> Deemux: sudo fsck /dev/sda2
[04:55] <LinuxAmt> no luck
[04:55] <sacarlson> JoseeAntonioR: well an ipod is just a usb device and it would be handled same as any other usb device,  try sudo lshw to see if a driver is attached to it
[04:56] <LinuxAmt> i keep getting no such file or directory
[04:56] <hilarie> Okay, with alt-f2, how do I run it as admin?
[04:56] <joeoshawa> JoseeAntonioR, doesn't matter i mean the error it gives when you try to mount it
[04:56] <LinuxAmt> i tried going to the folder then doing commands
[04:56] <LinuxAmt> and then i tried the wole path within the command
[04:56] <joeoshawa> does it say something like invalid checksum
[04:56] <joeoshawa> or similarr
[04:56] <r007> hillarie if you really want to use the gui with root access then open a terminal type sudo passwd root set a password then log out and login using root ..... this is not the ubuntu way or endorsed by the ubuntu community or myself as a gui as root is foolish
[04:56] <hilarie> got it, appending gksudo after finding the right file name
[04:56] <joeoshawa> JoseeAntonioR, is it new
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | r007
[04:57] <r007> ActionParsnip did I not say that no need to bot me
[04:57] <hilarie> @r007 I don't want to run everything as root, some applications, need better access then what ubuntu wants to give,
[04:57] <LinuxAmt> is there a way i can give myself temp root privlage so i can change the settings i need?
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> hilarie: exactly, you will then run the app with gui
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> r007: its easier if you just don't tell users in the first place
[04:57] <joeoshawa> unless its pre 2008 or so you can't use it with ubuntu
[04:57] <vudude> vudude
[04:57] <JoseeAntonioR> joeoshawa: I still don't try to mount it, when I connect it, it doesn't appears as a camera. The problem is that I followed this steps http://a.joj.me/1G and I don't know how to revert them.
[04:57] <r007> LinuxAmt no ubuntu sets a random root password you need to change it first
[04:58] <kandinski> same erorr: http://paste.lisp.org/display/119325 this is why I asked if there was a way to force the upgrade. I did have some nonstandard software installed, but I don-t remember which.
[04:58] <DaGeek247> LinuxAmt :  yes. sudo -su
[04:58] <bazhang> r007, thats not correct
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> r007: its not random at all, the account is simply disabled
[04:58] <r007> ActionParsnip think about that for a second
[04:58] <neil_d> I am loading a torent via 'transmission'... can I stop the program and restart latter, and have the download proceed from where it left off?
[04:59] <rww> neil_d: yes
[04:59] <DaGeek247> neil_d yes
[04:59] <r007> ActionParsnip it is not disabled
[04:59] <rww> r007: Yes, it is.
[04:59] <bazhang> r007, lets move on.
[04:59] <neil_d> rww: DaGeek247: good!
[04:59] <LinuxAmt> so typing sudo -su will temp give me the root rights so i can then go to the properties menu of the application i wish to run and change the settings?
[04:59] <r007> LinuxAmt yes
[05:00] <joeoshawa> wish i could help i don't own one cause apple only wants you using apple i just helped someone else with one and tried to find a solution for hours with only finding out someone almost has it figured out without touching the existing os
[05:00] <LinuxAmt> sweet i'll give it a go
[05:00] <joeoshawa> sorry
[05:00] <r007> LinuxAmt although not sure by default I always set a root pass
[05:00] <DaGeek247> LinuxAmt sudo su is for cli. use gksudo to run a gui app with root priviliges.
[05:00] <r007> I came from slackware so not used to sudo to much
[05:01] <neil_d> LinuxAmt: I use 'sudo -i' to get a root login in a terminal.
[05:01] <bazhang> its not sudo su its sudo -i
[05:01] <DaGeek247> bazhang, theu both work.
[05:01] <JoseeAntonioR> joeoshawa: No problem. Don't worry.
[05:01] <bazhang> DaGeek247, and one is supported here
[05:02] <kandinski> about upgrading from lucid to maverick.... same erorr: http://paste.lisp.org/display/119325 this is why I asked if there was a way to force the upgrade. I did have some nonstandard software installed, but I don-t remember which.
[05:02] <hari_shrestha> can any one help me? I want to install ubuntu to my desktop using pen drive?
[05:02] <DaGeek247> bazhang, then why have the other?
[05:02] <bazhang> kandinski, all PPA are disabled when you upgrade
[05:02] <bazhang> DaGeek247, one retains proper permissions one does not
[05:03] <bazhang> DaGeek247, so sudo - i is what we use in Ubuntu, though really sudo is enough
[05:03] <DaGeek247> ok.
[05:03] <r007> hari_shrestha use startup disk creator under system > admin
[05:03] <bazhang> err -i
[05:03] <LinuxAmt> no good
[05:04] <hari_shrestha> r007, Do i need ISO file?
[05:04] <hilarie> Thank you for help with the alt-f2 everyone!
[05:04] <r007> hari_shrestha yes
[05:04] <DaGeek247> LinuxAmt :  tried 'gksudo appname'?
[05:04] <hari_shrestha> r007, thanks
[05:04] <bazhang> DaGeek247, why would he run an app like that?
[05:05] <LinuxAmt> no i typed gksudo then the window came up and there i put the full path and app name
[05:05] <bazhang> LinuxAmt, to run what
[05:05] <r007> LinuxAmt what is it you wish to do?
[05:05] <venkat> how to add partimage to a live cd and then make a iso of the live cd,   is there any links for that, right now I am using system rescue cd for ubuntu backup but like to use ubuntu live cd itself
[05:06] <bazhang> venkat, why not just put iso on hdd and add to grub2
[05:06] <LinuxAmt> it's an windows (exe) everytime i try to run linux tells me it's blocked and not marked as an executible, i tried going to properties and permmitions to click the executible tab but linux autmaticly un clicks it
[05:06] <ljsoftnet> in terminal when i xrandr -q can i increase the given Maximum resolution? i mean with the word Maximum
[05:06] <LinuxAmt> it's every fustrating
[05:06] <kandinski> bazhang: yeah, but still it doesn't let me upgrade, grrr etc
[05:07] <LinuxAmt> i have the newest wine installed too.
[05:07] <venkat> bazhang : why not just put iso on hdd and add to grub2 ,  any links for this
[05:07] <bazhang> venkat, there is gparted live cd iso you could add as well
[05:07] <r007> LinuxAmt sudo chmod +x /path/to/program.exe then paste the output of ls -l to pastebin
[05:07] <sacarlson> venkat: you can use http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/
[05:07] <bazhang> venkat, the grub2 wiki
[05:08] <bazhang> !grub2
[05:08] <undecim> Can I get 2 clocks on gnome panel with different time zones?
[05:08] <r007> LinuxAmt which directory is it in btw?
[05:08] <venkat> thanks baz sacarlson I will do that
[05:08] <LinuxAmt> the setup.exe is on an exturnal hard drive under LaCie in media
[05:09] <r007> LinuxAmt ntfs ?
[05:09] <LinuxAmt> yes
[05:09] <bazhang> venkat, that remastersys is more of a create restore point / back up type deal
[05:09] <LinuxAmt> is that the problem
[05:09] <LinuxAmt> i should move it to the linux system first
[05:09] <r007> LinuxAmt can you copy it to your ext* part and try changing the perms
[05:09] <krish> join #django
[05:09] <LinuxAmt> okay
[05:10] <sacarlson> venkat: you can also boot an iso file by adding a grub2 entry as seen here: http://ansi.interblc.com/2010/02/06/howto-boot-iso-images-via-grub2-with-ubuntu/
[05:10] <venkat> remastersys will work for me
[05:10] <LinuxAmt> hey hey it stayed
[05:10] <linuxrunner> PLEASE HELP, I cannot get my nvidia X driver to configure, and then I need to activate the X server.  I am running under the kernel backup with x turned on as a one-time thing, trying to boot the kernal normally only sends me to tty1
[05:10] <LinuxAmt> okay  i'm going to try and install hopfully i wont be bugging yous again :P
[05:10] <LinuxAmt> thx
[05:10] <linuxrunner> Nothing I've done, including updating the driver has helped at all.
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> r007: "By default, the Root account password is locked in Ubuntu" from  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:10] <kandinski> pop the trunk
[05:11] <r007> ActionParsnip why? m8 I know the script with the root account in ubuntu
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> r007: its not random at all (went for a smoke)
[05:11] <venkat> “Howto boot ISO images via grub2 with ubuntu”   I thought it was only possible in windows 7        Very good to know that it can be done in Ubuntu too :)
[05:12] <venkat> thanks you very much sacarlson
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> venkat: grub legacy can't boot ISOs, Grub2 can :)
[05:12] <Flannel> r007: It really is locked, not random.  I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but it is inaccurate.  If you'd like to continue this topic, please head to #ubuntu-offtopic.  Thanks.
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: thanks
[05:13] <r007> ActionParsnip I got kicked last time we discussed root logins I came from other distros slackware being the last one so can we drop the subject
[05:13] <venkat> how can I know if I am using
[05:13] <bazhang> venkat, what version of ubuntu
[05:13] <LinuxAmt>  Thanks alot fellas it works fine have a great one
[05:14] <venkat> I am using 10.10
[05:14] <DaGeek247> hai RobotCow
[05:14] <bazhang> venkat, thats grub2
[05:14] <RobotCow> sup
[05:14] <RobotCow> sup
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> r007: well you have me and Flannel telling you you are incorrect, i'm happy to drop it but please don't give users incorrect information
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> hi RobotCow
[05:14] <venkat> cool actually thats what I was searching online to see what version I am using
[05:14] <venkat> so I already have grub2 so thats good
[05:14] <ATMRobotCow> $$$
[05:15] <DaGeek247> :p
[05:15] <r007> ActionParsnip I was meaning more the root policy in ubuntu
[05:15] <venkat> I will look into getting boot from iso thing
[05:15] <bazhang> ATMRobotCow, please dont
[05:15] <DaGeek247> lolz
[05:15] <ATMRobotCow> oh ya, feel gooooooood, just wrote 500+ lines of ANSI C code
[05:16] <DaGeek247> hai pusakat
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> ATMRobotCow: nice :)
[05:16] <r007> ActionParsnip if you can change a password for an account it is not diabled
[05:16] <r007> no matter how its phrased
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> r007: if you say so, but the fact is, it's not
[05:17] <Flannel> r007: Please head to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[05:17] <vudude> I'm trying to stream a xbox 360 thru ubuntu 10.10. I did the initial config of ushare.conf ok but when using an editor(kate) to do the advanced configuration I could not save the file. whats the best way to edit this file and save it to /etc/ushare.conf.
[05:18] <rww> r007, ActionParsnip: I'd appreciate it if the two of you dropped it. The best way to do that would be to stop replying to each other about this, not repeatedly replying to say that you're going to stop replying.
[05:18] <sacarlson> r007: I used to disable my girl freinds account at a time in cron then enable it again with another cron,  I know it can be done,  don't ya just love linux
[05:18] <r007> vudude did you use sudo to open it, may have been in RO
[05:19] <undecim> Can I get 2 clocks on gnome panel with different time zones?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> rww: I'm done :)
[05:19] <vudude> yes for the simple config
[05:19] <Gulfstream> undecim: yes?
[05:19] <venkat> sacarlson - Do you run and virus scanner on your machine
[05:19] <r007> rww was done before ActionParsnip had finished googling sorry smoking
[05:19] <sacarlson> venkat: nope
[05:19] <Gulfstream> undecim: I am not sure about different time zones though...
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> undecim: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/247758
[05:19] <vudude> Whats ro
[05:20] <r007> read only
[05:20] <venkat> so were you affected by any virus
[05:20] <undecim> ActionParsnip: :(
[05:20] <undecim> Anyone know of an alternative clock applet I can install for the gnome panel?
[05:20] <venkat> how long are you running your machine without any virus scanner
[05:20] <sacarlson> venkat: they make like 10,000 new virus a day what good is it to even try,
[05:20] <bazhang> venkat, ubuntu?
[05:21] <AbhijiT> !virus | venkat
[05:21] <r007> you only need av to protect the unfortunate windows users
[05:21] <vudude> so how do I get to the editor using sudo
[05:21] <TRAPPED> Guys I need serious help
[05:21] <l1nuxman> anyone know how can I enable alerts for only certain channels in xchat?
[05:21] <r007> you should check for rootkits though
[05:21] <bazhang> TRAPPED, then ask a question
[05:21] <venkat> Oh Got it, so if I dont do samba then I dont need to do anything on ubuntu. Got it
[05:21] <AbhijiT> l1nuxman, i dont think it can done. but ask in #xchat
[05:21] <TRAPPED> the default power off button disappeared
[05:22] <KB1JWQ> vudude: sudo vi $file
[05:22] <undecim> Even Windows users don't really need AV as long as they don't download and run stuff without knowing what it does
[05:22] <undecim> And have a firewall, ofc...
[05:22] <TRAPPED> adding a different power off button works but...its not the default
[05:22] <l1nuxman> AbhijiT,  is there a better IRC program ?
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> TRAPPED: right click panel -> ad item  then add what you wish
[05:22] <Deemux> wildbat: when i did sudo fsck /dev/sda2 i got fsck.ext4: device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda2 after just restarting my computer
[05:22] <rww> l1nuxman: There are a lot of IRC programs. Whether they're better is a matter of opinion.
[05:22] <AbhijiT> l1nuxman, yes
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> l1nuxman: there are many irc apps, use which you like, there is no better or best
[05:22] <AbhijiT> l1nuxman, search in software center.
[05:23] <TRAPPED> ationparsnip I did that but why would the default disappear???
[05:23] <r007> Deemux did you unmount it before running fsck
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> TRAPPED: maybe its hidden under another item (this can happen if you add another item or move one)
[05:23] <TRAPPED> ill live with it
[05:23] <vudude> $file = kate?
[05:23] <TRAPPED> THNX
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> TRAPPED: use tab to autocomplete nicks too :)
[05:23] <Deemux> roo7, how do u unmount it?
[05:24] <r007> Deemux sudo umount /dev/sda2
[05:24] <r007> Deemux do a df to show your partition setup you might have to unmount a few others depends on your install
[05:25] <Deemux> r007: sda2 is not mounted
[05:25] <wildbat> Deemux: is your sda1 working ?
[05:25] <undecim> Will windowmaker apps work like gnome-panel apps? Or compeltely different?
[05:25] <r007> Deemux try fsck again
[05:25] <Deemux> df doesnt show sda1
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> undecim: you can run apps from any desktop in any other as long as deps are met
[05:26] <Deemux> r007: still same error
[05:26] <undecim> ActionParsnip: I know, but will they run in the gnome panel, or will they run windowed?
[05:26] <ubun_> i went to the ubuntu wireless help ... but its not completed... i can see my wireless card, but how do i enable it. i can paste what it says if nessecary
[05:26] <r007> Deemux I take it sda2 is /
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> undecim: if they use a systemtray icon then they will run as you expect. You can always use alltray to put any app in the system tray
[05:27] <Deemux> r007: no sda2 is not shown by df either
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> Deemux: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo parted -l   Thanks (if possible)
[05:28] <piercedwater> can anyone suggest a better diagnostics tool than Dell's DSET? (64-bit please)
[05:28] <r007> Deemux what does df show?
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> piercedwater: what are you wanting to test?
[05:28] <vudude> what does $file mean in - sudo vi $file
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> vudude: the file you want to open in vi#
[05:29] <piercedwater> ActionParsnip: I think I have a bad power supply, so anything that might cause the power supply to turn off aburptly
[05:29] <vudude> thanks
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> vudude: so you can use (for example):  export file=~/.bashrc; vi $file
[05:30] <ohsix> is there a backup application that'll monitor drives being plugged in; i want something that can initiate a backup when the storage drive is inserted, and it's been more than 3 days
[05:30] <Guest64321> how to add a new panel
[05:30] <r007> vudude if you need to ask that youd be better using nano so sudo nano file
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Guest64321: right click the desktop -> new panel (might be add panel)
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> piercedwater: i'd stick to the dell one if its a dell psu
[05:31] <piercedwater> ActionParsnip: They dont have a 64-bit version for Ubuntu
[05:31] <piercedwater> :(
[05:31] <vudude> ha! now you really have me confused
[05:31] <piercedwater> I dont have an updated copy of Windows to run on a VM on it either
[05:31] <vudude> 007
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> piercedwater: you can use 32bit if you install ia32-libs
[05:32] <piercedwater> ohh ok
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: http://serverfault.com/questions/21327/run-a-command-when-a-disk-is-inserted-linux
[05:32] <r007> vudude nano is a text editor like vi and kate are so type sudo nano /var/log/messages for example
[05:32] <Bop> hello , i putted this command su -c "screen rtorrent" whitecrow on rc.local , but aint working after reboot , any help ?
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> piercedwater: you will need to manually satisfy 32bit deps if it needs extra suff, you can download the 32bit deb, extract it then copy the .so file into /usr/lib32
[05:33] <vudude> thanks for the tips... I'll give them a try
[05:33] <r007> vudude and if you want to use vi use vim (vi improved) sorry to confuse you morre :D
[05:33] <wildbat> Bop:  use sudo
[05:34] <Bop> wildbat, did that too , sudo and the command i've posted
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> wildbat: it's in rc.local so is already running as root
[05:34] <r007> Bop su -c will not work as you dont have root access
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Bop: did you add it ABOVE the exit 0 line?
[05:34] <Bop> its rc.local , so its root
[05:34] <Bop> upper exit 0
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Bop: good
[05:34] <howoriginalAU> Hello everyone :)
[05:35] <Bop> ActionParsnip, any more help ?
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> Bop: websearching, gimme a sec
[05:36] <Bop> ok
[05:36] <glaceman> Good morning guys
[05:36] <r007> Bop what is it you want to achieve?
[05:36] <glaceman> i have a very simple question please
[05:36] <glaceman> i have a folder wish i want to delete, when i make sudo rmdir foldername, it says cannot delete folder, it's not empty
[05:37] <Bop> r007, is server is restarted  i want to start rtorrent on a screen session automatica
[05:37] <nmvictor> How do I install eeclipse from eclipse.org?
[05:37] <r007> Bop what you have in rc.local?
[05:37] <ubun_> what is the command "lspci (looks like a L or a 1) grep Network" ??? my question is what is that leter?t
[05:37] <Bop> r007, sudo su -c "screen rtorrent" whitecrow
[05:37] <red2kic> glaceman: mkdir = create empty directory ; rmdir = delete empty directory
[05:37] <Bop> this works in console
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> Bop: i found a page when the command is in 's rather than "s
[05:38] <r007> ubun_lspci | grep Ethernet should do the trick
[05:38] <rww> ubun_: pipe/vertical bar. shift and \ on US keyboards.
[05:38] <nmvictor> glaceman, look into the folder, their is probabli something rm thinks you shouldnt or cannot delete
[05:38] <glaceman> red2kic: i want to delete a directory, but it's not empty, that's the error i receive
[05:38] <Bop> ActionParsnip, what do i mean , should i replace " with ' ?
[05:38] <Deemux> r007, df has aufs, /dev/sr0, /devloop0, tmpfs...
[05:38] <rww> glaceman: rm -r foldername
[05:38] <r007> Bop try leaving out su -c and try using the full path
[05:38] <red2kic> glaceman: "rm -r Directory/"
[05:38] <ubun_> oh didnt know it existed thank you... appanrantly i dont have eyes... thanks RWW
[05:39] <r007> Bop you might be better using init over rc this isnt bsd or slackware :D
[05:39] <Bop> r007, how do i say wich user i want it to run then ?
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> Bop: or try: su -c "screen rtorrent" - whitecrow    with the minus sign addition
[05:39] <r007> Bop sudo
[05:39] <Bop> ok , first ActionParsnip
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> Bop: you don't need sudo as the command is running as root, root can run commands as whomever it pleases
[05:40] <Bop> r007, im used to rc.local it just works
[05:40] <Bop> :D
[05:40] <Bop> ActionParsnip, right , removing
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> !boot | Bop
[05:40] <sacarlson> glaceman: one option but be careful is sudo rm -r /path/to/dir/
[05:40] <r007> Bop tell me about it although I have had no joys with rc on ubuntu
[05:41] <Deemux> ActionParsnip, i did sudo parted -l   output:3partitions
[05:41] <sacarlson> glaceman: I think I forgot something sudo rm -r /path/to/dir/*
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> Deemux: are you able to pastebin?
[05:41] <glaceman> thanks guys it worked
[05:41] <Deemux> ActionParsnip: not familar with that
[05:42] <rww> sacarlson: it'll work fine without the *
[05:42] <Bop> ActionParsnip, fail :s
[05:42] <Bop> no rtorrent process
[05:42] <rww> sacarlson: actually, with the * it won't remove the directory itself (or any dotfiles inside it)
[05:42] <sacarlson> rww: see all this time I was putting * and never knew
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> Deemux: copy the text and visit http://pastie.org  paste the text there then click the big paste button. The address will change, copy that and paste the addrss here
[05:42] <Bop> so , lets see r007 tip
[05:43] <red2kic> It is a good practice for /tmp/  :)
[05:43] <shad0w> where is the terminal server client?
[05:43] <ubun_> my terminal said operation not possible due to RFKILL.. WHAT DO I DO?
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> shad0w: press ALT+F2 and run: tsclient
[05:44] <shad0w> ty
[05:44] <r007> Bop what about sudo /bin/screen\rtorrent ?
[05:44] <r007> Bop I assume its in bin
[05:44] <Bop> its on /usr/bin
[05:45] <r007> Bop try using sudo with the full path although why do you need to elavate it?
[05:45] <l1nuxman> anyone know what the package for FastCGI for apache2 is?
[05:45] <Bop> r007, im on it , rebooting
[05:45] <rww> l1nuxman: libapache2-mod-fastcgi
[05:46] <ubun_> what is rfkill?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> Bop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340121
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> Bop: there's a cheeky number using cron's @reboot ;)
[05:46] <sacarlson> ubun_: I think it turns your wifi device transmiter on and off
[05:47] <ubun_> ok... while i look for it, does anyone know how to turn it on...?
[05:47] <bethddo97>  installed 10.04 with wubi and decided I wanted to do a  full install rather than having it inside windows. The 10.10 install went fine and I was still able to boot my computer thru the grub 2 bootloader except that there are alot of bogus  entries on the menu. The problem I am having is that the uninstall program did not eliminate the loopback devicenor the loopback network device  so my full install is unable to connect to the inte
[05:47] <Deemux> ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1524017
[05:47] <r007> ubun_ man rfkill
[05:47] <sacarlson> ubun_: man rfkill will show you
[05:47] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: thanks, was looking to see if there was a something that existed at all; i will end up cobbling one together if there isn't :]
[05:49] <ubun_> sacarlson: says there is no manual for it
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Deemux: ok, hopefully that will help r007 with what s/he was doing. r007 all yours dude/tte
[05:49] <sacarlson> ubun_:  you must not have the package installed
[05:49] <r007> ubun_ if its not installed there will be no man pages
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> ubun_: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill
[05:49] <bethddo97> unused ethernet card and the lo - loopback device that allowed the wubi install to connect to the internet.  How do I get rid of all the crap the wubi left behind andhow do I get my internet connection to recognize my wireless device again instead of the loopback device that shoudn't be ther anymore???
[05:49] <ubun_> ok is that in the synaptic?
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> !info rfkill
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> ubun_: its part of a stock install
[05:50] <r007> Deemux looks like you will have to drop into single user to run the fsck
[05:51] <bethddo97> I know about the rfkill, however it does not eliminate the obsolete loopback device installed by wubi
[05:51] <Deemux> r007, do do u drop into single user?
[05:51] <Deemux> r007, how do u drop into single user?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> bethddo97: you need a loopback device, its how services on the same system talk to each other
[05:52] <Bop> ActionParsnip, thanks ! it worked ! for your reference i sucessfully used su whitecrow -c "screen -d -m rtorrent"
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Bop: yay!
[05:52] <bethddo97> How do I get rid of all the stuff  left behind by the wubi uninstall?
[05:52] <sacarlson> bethddo97: your wubi install should have no effect on your new grub2 install,  there is always a lo device in ifconfig,  maybe your having problems with a ethernet driver?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> bethddo97: what do you have left?
[05:52] <r007> Deemux never done it on ubuntu but it should be the recovery option in grub otherwise if someone can tell you how to give arguments to the kernel ubuntu stylee just add init=/bin/sh to the end
[05:52] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: some backup app that was power aware and could be paused/resumed would be great too; all of the stuff i've seen or tried seems to want to start with at least a complete initial copy, even if the diffs are cheap
[05:53] <l1nuxman> I try to upgrade to 2.6.35 from 2.6.32 with apt-get upgrade but it shows it has nothing to upgrad
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> l1nuxman: what release are you on?
[05:53] <zschallz> Hi. I'm trying to boot with a kernel parameter. Grub seems to respond to me arrowing up and down, but not to e or c which will let me edit the parameters. Any ideas?
[05:53] <r007> linuxman the kernels are held back try apt-get update linux-generic
[05:54] <zschallz> okay, for some reason using caps lock and e worked... sorry.
[05:54] <bethddo97> When I just had ubuntu 9.instaled there was no lodevice just my ethernet card and my wireless device.  Now the wireless device is not found
[05:54] <r007> linuxman the kernels are held back try apt-get install linux-generic even
[05:54] <sacarlson> zschallz: try the help command,  I would think e should work
[05:54] <zschallz> guessing maybe it thinks I have a different keyboard, or something
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> bethddo97: the OS wouldnt have worked. You need one. The X server (for example) needs it to communicate with the system
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> bethddo97: you may not have seen it before, but you did have one
[05:56] <ubun_> i put in " sudo rfkill unblock wifi" is it supposed to do something, show a result?
[05:56] <l1nuxman> r007, didn't work
[05:56] <EvilPhoenix> l1nuxman:  did you apt-get update after the install?
[05:56] <l1nuxman> r007,  oh hold on the second one worked
[05:56] <l1nuxman> yes EvilPhoenix something is installing now, hold please
[05:57] <ljsoftnet> in the terminal when i xrandr, how do i increase the given Maximum resolution? i mean with the word Maximum
[05:57] <sacarlson> ubun_:  I think there is also rfkill status  that can show results
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> l1nuxman: could try:  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:57] <r007> linuxman try pressing a on the grub menu "might let" you modify the kernel arguments then add init=/bin/sh to the end with a space after the last argument
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> l1nuxman: do you see the kernel if you run:  dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2
[05:57] <l1nuxman> ActionParsnip, yes
[05:59] <bethddo97> Unlike when I did tthe full install on m,y son's, the intaller asked me nothing about my wireless settingsSince I cannot connect to th internet thru my wireless devvice since it  is not beeing foound after I try rfkill again do I have to do ifconfig or anytthing else to get the system to find my connection thru the wireless?
[05:59] <goetter> i'm looking for a console-only app (or service) that will help me organize a music collection -- mainly, to fix id3 tags by querying online music lookup services; then rename/organize files using the fixed id3 tags.
[05:59] <goetter> everything i find is either (a) an x app, or (b) bad
[05:59] <r007> linuxman ignor y last comments thought it was somoene with a diff issue that was saying it didnt work
[05:59] <sacarlson> ubun_:  the command to get status from rfkill is rfkill list  should see no at both hard and soft meaning it's enabled
[06:00] <bethddo97> what do you do if it doesn't show no at both hard and soft?
[06:00] <r007> 1nuxman does uname -r show the latest kernel (you need to reboot for kernel upgrades)
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> l1nuxman: ok then hold shift at boot, can you select the kernel you desire?
[06:01] <l1nuxman_> r007: I haven't rebooted, is it time to? It doesn't say the latest one
[06:02] <r007> l1nuxman you will need to reboot before the new kernel is used
[06:02] <ubun_>  sacarlson: it say hp wifi  wireless lan soft blocked yes hard blocked yes and then it says phy0 wireless lan softblocked no hardblocked yes.
[06:02] <sacarlson> goetter: I don't know of any so there might be a (w) option write one,  ruby has a cool lib for id3 tags and works well for renameing and moving stuf
[06:03] <pranay_09> in my friend's laptop having ubuntu 9.04 when i start it , memtest86+ starts automatically , before that i see the message Grub loading but no boot menu
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> pranay_09: jaunty isnt supported anymore
[06:03] <sacarlson> ubun_: hard blocked means there is a switch normaly on the keyboard to turn the wifi on and off
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> pranay_09: you can hold shift and choose a kernel possibly but I advise you upgrade
[06:04] <r007> prany_09 the box has had a kernel update but grub has not updated cant remeber if its the old grum on 9.04 but I think it is so you will need to edit grub.conf
[06:04] <bazhang> r007, you mean menu.lst
[06:05] <r007> thats the one :D
[06:05] <ubun_> sacarlson: will ubuntu 10.10 support that button... would it be the little antenna looking button with the two curved lines around it?
[06:05] <rrenaud> i am currently running a 32 bit version of ubuntu, but i want to upgrade to a 64 bit version
[06:05] <bazhang> r007, please research before giving advice
[06:05] <rrenaud> is there any easy way to do this without burning a CD?
[06:05] <r007> I know what Im doing I work with different distros all the time
[06:05] <bazhang> rrenaud, use a live usb?
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> rrenaud: you will need to reinstall, you can install via USB if your system supports USB booting
[06:05] <sacarlson> ubun_: yes the button is hardware not software,  you normaly also see an led that indicates if the wifi is active (hard blacked) or not
[06:05] <rrenaud> bleh :(
[06:05] <r007> and not used grub legacy for a bit
[06:06] <rww> grub2 has grub.cfg
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> rrenaud: if it doesnt and you have a floppy drive there is a floppy image on pendrivelinux to make usb sticks boot
[06:06] <r007> rww yes but you shouldnt modify it
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> rrenaud: or SD card (same as before)
[06:06] <rrenaud> hmm
[06:06] <rrenaud> but it all involves booting off some other hardware?
[06:06] <pranay_09> r007, ok but how do i edit it , i mean memtest starts and i'm unable to log in .. do you mean the method by ActionParsnip of getting into kernel?
[06:06] <gpc> r007: the point was that before giving advice please be sure it is correct
[06:06] <rrenaud> i have a laptop hanging around
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> rrenaud: yes, so you can wipe the current install and install the new OS
[06:07] <Bop> anyone uses RTGUI over rtorrent ?
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> Bop: i use the web gui of transmission personally
[06:07] <Bop> is that php ?
[06:08] <Bop> over apache ?
[06:08] <ubun_> sacarlson is " sudo rfkill unblock wifi" the command to "soft" ublock it?
[06:08] <rasuljon> kak ustanovit shrifti v ubunti, linuxe??? please help
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> Bop: it has a web interface, not sure about it using apache though
[06:08] <Bop> cause im having this annoying error with permissions from html frontend
[06:08] <r007> pranay_09 edit the menu.lst and change the default to the kernel you want to boot
[06:08] <bazhang> rasuljon, english here please
[06:08] <Bop> already set it as 777
[06:08] <Bop> still no good
[06:09] <sacarlson> ubun_: in some cases that will only fix the soft block not the hardware switch,  that has to be moved with a finger
[06:09] <skilz> I just installed apache2 metapackage
[06:09] <ubun_> sacarlson: ... lol....  but it also said soft blocked....
[06:09] <skilz> but my friend can't access my computer
[06:09] <skilz> its not behind a router or firewall
[06:10] <skilz> im using usb mobile broadband
[06:10] <r007> skilz have you opened port 80
[06:10] <bazhang> skilz, please keep it on one line, its impossible to follow otherwise

[06:10] <shmup> oh, wrong channel. thought people were responding in c# rofl

[06:11] <skilz> r007, opened it where? I just told you im not behind a router or firewall
[06:12] <r007> skilz iptables
[06:12] <rww> ... is a firewall.
[06:12] <Flannel> r007: Alright, no more bad information.  skilz: You don't need to open a port for apache to listen on it.
[06:12] <skilz> zomg
[06:13] <r007> Flannel wtf are you on
[06:13] <Flannel> r007: Just stop giving out inaccurate and incorrect information.  Thanks.
[06:13] <skilz> I knew that already, im using mobile broadband connected via ppp0, could it be my dongle or ISP is blocking port 80?
[06:13] <r007> so you dont need to allow port 80 to operate a web server ?
[06:13] <Flannel> skilz: ISPs have been known to block port 80, yes.  Try changing your port, see if it helps.
[06:14] <Flannel> r007: No.
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> skilz: can you ping the desired IP?
[06:14] <r007> Flannel why ?
[06:14] <shad0w> how do you get tsclient?
[06:14] <Flannel> r007: Please join me in #ubuntu-offtopic.

[06:14] <r007> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:14] <l1nuxman> r007,  and ActionParsnip  its still the same after reboot :(
[06:14] <shad0w> im running on backtrack4 and i dont seem to be able to find it. Run doesnt work either
[06:15] <bazhang> shad0w, #backtrack-linux for support

[06:18] <l1nuxman> ActionParsnip, I was rebooting on my host server
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> l1nuxman: ok, when you boot, hold shift and you should be able to choose the kernel (or press ESC when asked if you use grub legacy)

[06:26] <ActionParsnip> l1nuxman: then you'll need to check the default kernel, if you are using grub2 you can specify this ni /etc/default/grub
[06:27] <Blank> randomus1r: I'm not sure, but restarting might do it.
[06:27] <l1nuxman> ActionParsnip,  I don't have that file

[06:30] <Blank> As far as I can tell, you can't.  Part of the required information to register is a location, and it refuses anything not inside the US.

[06:38] <dhruvasagar> Hi guys, when I launch gvim from alt+f2 the path is not the same as when I launch from gnome-terminal, I have some additional updates (specifically for rvm) in .bashrc that updates the path, how can I make that available to gvim when launching from alt+f2 ?

[06:40] <doobien> bigbang12, i assume usb headphones, do they show up under sound preferences?
[06:40] <Malqart> Hello everyone
[06:41] <Malqart> I've got an issue with my graphic card  nVidia 9200M GS that doesn't work properly anymore :(
[06:41] <KB1JWQ> !nvidia
[06:41] <bigbang12> doobien: i am not using usb headphone, actualy i have two jacks for headphone, i am able to run headphone in one jack but not in other
[06:42] <skilz> ok somethings going on
[06:42] <dhruvasagar> bigbang12: do you know for sure that the other one works ? does it work in windows or something ?
[06:42] <skilz> I have changed the apache2 listen port to a few different ports, something is blocking it...
[06:43] <bigbang12> dhruvasagar: ya other works in windows
[06:43] <KB1JWQ> skilz: iptables?
[06:43] <KB1JWQ> !iptables
[06:43] <doobien> bigbang12, you sure one of them isn't for microphone? - look under sound preferences - maybe it is muted.
[06:43] <sacarlson> Malqart: ya say anymore so I think an option of boot the old kernel might be an option,  if that works then you can change grub2 to continue to boot the old one.  I say if it's not broke don't fix it (or upgrade it)
[06:44] <skilz> KB1JWQ, Whats the command?
[06:44] <bigbang12> doobien: no its not of microphone
[06:44] <Geoffrey2> I'm trying to use the Ubuntu One client software to upload music, but have yet to figure out how to do it...someone suggested I needed to install a particular file, but I've since forgotten which one it was....

[06:45] <KB1JWQ> !wireless | Guest64080
[06:45] <gschwepp> skilz: man iptables
[06:46] <Geoffrey2> Guest64080, did you try the b43-fwcutter yet?
[06:46] <ljsoftnet> in the terminal, when i xrandr, how do i increase the maximum resolution? i mean the word maximum
[06:47] <gardenia> hello
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | Guest64080
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> hi gardenia
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> randomus1r: it is part of the default Xubuntu install to start the desktop
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: may I PM please?
[06:49] <madmn> what is the best way to network ubuntu and windows 7 through a wireless connection or can it be done
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> madmn: using a router
[06:49] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: You don't need to ask
[06:49] <madmn> i have a router i just need to know the steps to do it
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> madmn: grab a wireless router and connect the hosts to it, you now have a network
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: I always will :D
[06:50] <madmn> how would i connect the host is there a particular way to do it right ?
[06:50] <Poshepocket> Is there a way that I can open the home folder using a mouse?
[06:50] <sacarlson> madmn: I think I would try sshfs  file tranfer over ssh
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> madmn: the router will distribute dhcp so addresses will allow connections of any sort
[06:50] <madmn> so what do i need then a program in  ubuntu
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> madmn: what are you trying to achieve?
[06:51] <chaunch> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN can anyone explain to me if they're replacing the original /etc/network/interfaces with the next section or just adding it on?
[06:51] <madmn> where would i set this up on ubuntu or windows 7
[06:51] <_Synergy_> madmn in your case, wireless file sharing is the same as wired. just google for any guide on file sharing to/from windows
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> madmn: setup what? The dhcp will automatically be given to all connected hosts
[06:52] <madmn> so i should just be able to go to the windows 7 computer and see this ubuntu box
[06:52] <ljsoftnet> in the terminal, when i xrandr, how do i increase the maximum resolution? i mean the word maximum
[06:52] <sacarlson> madmn: depends on what side you want to be the client (sharee) and the server (shareer)
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> madmn: if you can ping it you can 'see' the box
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> madmn: do you mean FILE SHARING?
[06:53] <madmn> i want the ubuntu to be the server and windows 7 to be the client
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> madmn: ok what sort of server do you want the ubuntu system to be?
[06:53] <Guest64080> Geoffrey I downloaded b43-fwcutter but don't know how to use it
[06:53] <madmn> yes i would also like to share files between the two computers
[06:54] <madmn> i would like to start with filesharing
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> madmn: file sharing does not mean 'network'
[06:54] <poggle_> heh. look at `aptitude changelog linux-image`
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> madmn: why do people term it that way, it means noting
[06:54] <poggle_> and see where the *** System restart required ***
[06:54] <poggle_> comes from...it's so silly
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> madmn: you can have a 'network' and run an email server and it has nothing to do with file sharing
[06:54] <madmn> okay i guess its filesharing that i want to do
[06:54] <madmn> okay
[06:54] <poggle_> what, you mean someone called steve conklin * Replaced versatile and now i have to reboot?
[06:55] <madmn> yes i would like to do that too
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> madmn: if you use that terminology (the right terminology) you'll get fatser results
[06:55] <madmn> i would like to run a email server
[06:55] <madmn> sorry
[06:55] <poggle_> please, just show me the must reboot message for security updates to the kernel, thanks
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> madmn: if you install samba, you can share folders. Win7 has some dumbass authentication in it now which Ubuntu has issues with but can be worked around
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> madmn: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/
[06:56] <chaunch> how do i add a bridge interface
[06:56] <madmn> okay so start with installing samba on ubuntu right
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> madmn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer   for help making a mailserver
[06:56] <KB1JWQ> madmn: Go read. :-)
[06:56] <Poshepocket> How do I open "my computer" of windows in Ubuntu? ("Home Folder")
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> madmn: yes, that will allow you to share folders in nautilus and they will be visible as windows shares to windows
[06:57] <red2kic> Poshepocket: Places --> Computer
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> Poshepocket: over LAN or on the same local PC (sounds like a dual boot)
[06:57] <Poshepocket> red2kic: a keyboard shortcut key
[06:57] <Poshepocket> ActionParsnip: In Ubuntu. I'm just comparing the similarities.
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> Poshepocket: if its the ubuntu docs you want then the places menu gives access to your files
[06:57] <francis> hello... i installed burg but grub2 is still in active. how to i activate burg?
[06:57] <sacarlson> madmn: on windows 7 I'm not sure but I think you need to setup your file shareing in XP mode,  not sure what success rate you get by the default method windows 7's new file share protocol with ubuntu
[06:57] <red2kic> Poshepocket: ALT+F1 ; P ; C ; Enter.
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> francis: burg isnt supported here
[06:58] <chaunch> how do i add a bridge interface
[06:58] <haldol> boa noite
[06:58] <gardenia> Hello is there anyway I can use my canonscan lide in xubuntu 9.10? or ubuntu 9.10 for that matter?
[06:58] <madmn> looks like i have samba installed already
[06:58] <red2kic> Poshepocket: You can assign a shortcut in Keyboard Shortcuts.
[06:58] <cryptodira> is there a command to put the sound slider back onto the top panel...it is NOT in the 'add to panel' choices.... :
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> madmn: then right click folders to share in nautilus and share them
[06:58] <haldol> tudo bom?
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> gardenia: what model?
[06:58] <Poshepocket> Whoah! Thanks red2kic! What I'm looking for.

[07:01] <sacarlson> madmn: from ubuntu Places>Connect server> protocol select> ip of computer select
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: If it's win7 theres extra stuff in the way, hence me giving users that link of a guy messing with it
[07:02] <madmn> which ip do it use the 192 or the actual ip
[07:03] <livingdaylight> problem: everytime I go to reboot or shutdown I get a dialog informing that a Program is still running... I can't identify the program?
[07:03] <livingdaylight> I get it even if I've just had a clean reboot and not used any applications yet
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> madmn: the 192 is the actual IP
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> madmn: just add the rest of the address
[07:04] <livingdaylight> It says: A program is still running: Unknown Not responding - Waiting for the program to finish. Interrupting the program may cause you to lose work.
[07:05] <madmn> then what next ActionParsnip

[07:09] <livingdaylight> genii-around, why not?
[07:10] <KB1JWQ> livingdaylight: ps auxww to a pastebin.
[07:10] <genii-around> livingdaylight: Because it's 2:09am here local time and I don't have the time or acuity
[07:10] <livingdaylight> genii-around, are you too busy looking for opportunities to type: !de | genii-around  ?
[07:10] <KB1JWQ> ...and there goes my intereset in helping livingdaylight.
[07:10] <livingdaylight> genii-around, go to bed then
[07:11] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, thx
[07:11] <cryptodira> is there a command to put the sound slider back onto the top panel...it is NOT in the 'add to panel' choices.... :
[07:11] <KB1JWQ> !panel
[07:11] <KB1JWQ> Hmm.
[07:11] <genii-around> livingdaylight: Part of monitoring channels involves trying to ensure people receive help in their language of choice. Yopu spoke in german.
[07:11] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, it is annoying people who don't want to help, but loiter just to type out these !commands
[07:12] <KB1JWQ> !ot | livingdaylight
[07:12] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, lol
[07:13] <gardenia> Excuse me but I have a question. I need to know my bandwidth so I downloaded nload but there are so many numbers there. How do I know which one?
[07:13] <KB1JWQ> gardenia: Why, man nload of course. :-)
[07:14] <gardenia> I don't understand KB1JWQ
[07:14] <KB1JWQ> gardenia: "man nload"
[07:14] <livingdaylight> KB1
[07:14] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, output http://pastebin.com/fK7zmt5c
[07:14] <KB1JWQ> gardenia: They wrote the documentation for a reason, and that reason wasn't so other people can read it to you. :-)
[07:15] <gardenia> Im hurt. Sorry KB.
[07:16] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, I've done ps command before to get lists of things... only to be told I should killall them one by one and byprocess of elimination see what program is hanging... however, as stated this happens even if I've done a fresh reboot prior to having opened any applications at all yet.
[07:17] <moth_woman> Is it safe to clean your anus with rubbing alcohol?
[07:18] <livingdaylight> !ot | moth_woman
[07:18] <moth_woman> ok sorry
[07:18] <moth_woman> I'll just watch
[07:19] <gardenia> sorry KB i still don't understand i have already man nload
[07:19] <triunity> Heyy, what ps1 variable parameter can you set to have your command prompt display current time??
[07:20] <ipatch> is there an easy way to get a live USB going for mac? i just downloaded 10.10?
[07:20] <rww> triunity: \t
[07:20] <triunity> Thanks!
[07:20] <KB1JWQ> gardenia: http://linux.die.net/man/1/nload says interesting things about the -u flag.  Check that. :-)
[07:20] <nellim> ipatch - unetbootin?
[07:20] <ipatch> nellim i tried that didn't work :-/
[07:20] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, ?
[07:20] <rww> triunity: or \T if you want it in 12-hour format.
[07:20] <nellim> ipatch what happened?
[07:21] <KB1JWQ> Not sure how live performance is, but I've seen great results with Ubuntu on Mac hardware. :-)
[07:21] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, are you determined not to help me?
[07:21] <ipatch> nellim well for one unetbootin doesnt setup the proper directory structure to load the proper.efi file to bootstrap the kernel
[07:21] <KB1JWQ> livingdaylight: We're all volunteers here, and choose what to spend our respective time on.
[07:22] <triunity> 24 hour is better.  never cared for 12 hour format, but thanks for the tip
[07:22] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, so, the answer is yes
[07:22] <nellim> ipatch have you tried it with any other distros? or an older version of ubuntu?
[07:22] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, good for you
[07:22] <nellim> ipatch - the mac hardware boot is different than PCs
[07:22] <ipatch> what use unetbootin?
[07:22] <KB1JWQ> !mac
[07:23] <KB1JWQ> ipatch: ^^
[07:23] <ipatch> nellim yeah macs use EFI not bios
[07:23] <nellim> ipatch well the easy test is to take an older version or different distro that hasn't been through a revision lately
[07:23] <nellim> ipatch yep
[07:23] <livingdaylight> KB1JWQ, although quite pathetic
[07:23] <rww> livingdaylight: best to move on
[07:24] <nellim> ipatach ie Fedora 14 just came out so i would try this with Fedora 13 cause i know that unetbootin worked with F13
[07:24] <ipatch> ubottu this is what i am trying to do http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504038&highlight=ubuntu+10.10+live+usb+mac
[07:24] <rww> ipatch: ubottu is a bot
[07:24] <KB1JWQ> ipatch: Okay, what are you getting stuck on?
[07:25] <livingdaylight> rww, its just petty, is all, considering all i did was say something to someone else who also didn't want to help excpet throw one of those !commands at me
[07:25] <ipatch> the video error
[07:25] <rww> livingdaylight: Either way, no point in dwelling on it. It just causes distractions and makes getting help even harder :(
[07:25] <ipatch> video line length 8192 message :-/
[07:25] <KB1JWQ> ipatch: Pretend I don't want to read 15 comments to find "the video error" please. :-)
[07:26] <livingdaylight> Anyone out there both willing and able to help me with problem I encounter when shutting down and rebooting?
[07:26] <red2kic> ipatch: Append "nomodeset" at bootup. That would solve your "garbage" graphic. If that's what you're experiencing.
[07:26] <livingdaylight> problem: everytime I go to reboot or shutdown I get a dialog informing that a Program is still running... I can't identify the program?  I get it even if I've just had a clean reboot and not used any applications yet
[07:26] <livingdaylight>  It says: A program is still running: Unknown Not responding - Waiting for the program to finish. Interrupting the program may cause you to lose work.
[07:27] <ipatch> i know my video protocol is UGA but i think the new EFI file is setup to use the newer GPT protocol in the 10.10 release
[07:27] <KB1JWQ> ipatch: That's not release driven, it's hardware dependant.
[07:27] <KB1JWQ> Mac wants GPT instead of MBR.
[07:27] <livingdaylight> Here is output to ps auxww : http://pastebin.com/fK7zmt5c
[07:28] <sacarlson> livingdaylight: when you first boot you can try the command ps -A ,  from that you will see there are many applications or programs running even without you starting them
[07:28] <cryptodira> livingdaylight,  try running 'htop' first thing after you boot up... you will see that even tho you havent opened/started anything... there are plenty of programs running.... take a look and by process of elimination, you will find the culprit.
[07:28] <ipatch> sorry been long day, meant gop
[07:28] <livingdaylight> sacarlson | cryptodira thanks !
[07:29] <gardenia> KB will it be alright if I ask you another question? The thing is I have a neo laptop which would not let me resize the display to 1024x768. All it has is 800x600. Its driver is sis
[07:29] <goddard> im trying to use netboot with pxe from windows and it isn't working
[07:29] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, htop is not currently installed yet ;)
[07:29] <gardenia> By the way i still didnt solve my other two questions
[07:30] <livingdaylight> is it same as ps -A ?
[07:30] <ole> hello from denmark
[07:30] <Jordan_U> ipatch: When booted using the BIOS interface neither GOP nor UGA are used, just VBE and native drivers.
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> Gardenia: you may need to form an xorg.conf file if udev isn't picking things up
[07:31] <gardenia> what sudo command actionparsnip?
[07:31] <KB1JWQ> !xorg
[07:31] <gardenia> I dont know the sudo command to open xorg.con
[07:31] <cryptodira> livingdaylight,  it is graphical... and in my opinion easier to parse... you can find it in synaptic or ubuntu software center... do a search for 'htop'
[07:31] <moth_woman> gardenia: Xorg --configure
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Gardenia: you may get a better display performance if you use the vesa driver
[07:31] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, how is it different than system monitor?
[07:31] <goddard> no more address or address previously allocated by another server [02/02 23:31:02.324]
[07:31] <gardenia> ok. il try that. thanks everyone.
[07:33] <cryptodira> livingdaylight,  it gives you the actual 'pid' among other things and will allow you to kill processes.
[07:34] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, I don't know what 'pid' is but i know system monitor enables one to end or kill processes too
[07:34] <pranay_09> on my friend's laptop the default runlevel was 3 , i logged in and changed runlevel to 5 by telinit 5 then rebooted but still no graphical mode
[07:34] <DareDevil01> Hey guys is there anyway that i can change my  home to another partition?
[07:34] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, running htop now, how would I kill a process should I choose?
[07:34] <tufu> 这东西怎么用阿
[07:35] <moth_woman> DareDevil01: u can do that from the fstab
[07:35] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, i see how - F9
[07:35] <tufu> 有人没
[07:35] <Jordan_U> !cn | tufu
[07:35] <eto> excuse me but in which file user locales are stored?
[07:35] <ljsoftnet> in terminal, when i xrandr, how do i change the maximum resolution? i mean the word maximum
[07:35] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, commands at the bottom - sorry
[07:35] <cryptodira> livingdaylight, take a look at the bottom of the window.... 'f9' kill process... use the arrow keys to move about and highlite what you want
[07:35] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, but the list is so long, identifying culprit is not gonna be easy
[07:36] <DareDevil01> moth_woman, ok but all the conf will state in the other part?
[07:36] <Leny> 见到中文真亲切
[07:36] <DareDevil01> i mean all the data?
[07:36] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, yes, F9 and other commands. Saw already, sorry
[07:36] <soreau> ljsoftnet: You probably would have to patch the code and build it yourself, assuming it's hardcoded. Why do you want to change it?
[07:36] <DareDevil01> and i have to copy it manually?
[07:36] <moth_woman> DareDevil01: ya that might work
[07:37] <ljsoftnet> soreau: i plan to adjust my laptop and external monitor to max resolution
[07:37] <DareDevil01> ok i guess i will try it because it suck to install the system again
[07:37] <cryptodira> livingdaylight, probably you have a zombie that did not shut down and is recurring at each reboot.... a carefull perusal of each progam should reveal it.... Good Luck.
[07:37] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Why do you want to change the word 'maximum' though?
[07:37] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, do you know what the NI parameter stands for? I have udevd --daemon which I don't know what it is and pulseaudio both on negative and red numbers running under the NI column
[07:38] <ljsoftnet> soreau: not the word maximum, the value of maximum

[07:42] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Sounds like you just need to add a mode
[07:42] <moth_woman> I don't a a clue, can it be removed

[07:43] <pranay_09> ActionParsnip, could you please help
[07:44] <ljsoftnet> soreau "Multiple Screen" software says, "User set screen size larger than max screen size"
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> jesusvaldez: its not ubuntu specific. Its a defacto way of testing data is good
[07:44] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, no, all that happens upon hitting reboot is that said dialog immediately pops up: A program is still running: Unknown Not responding... etc... htop remains as it was including this Xchat window
[07:44] <tufu> 有高手没 学习学习阿
[07:44] <jesusvaldez> i seee
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> pranay_09: sup?
[07:44] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Which graphics driver are you using?
[07:45] <ljsoftnet> soreau intel
[07:45] <|||zal|||> hello, is anyone know hot to install intel vga 82852/855GM on ubuntu maverick?
[07:45] <sagarchalise> Hi there, everytime i restart nautilus I get Unique DBus Warning, does anyone know whats the problem ? I am using maverick by the way and have installed nautilus-elementary
[07:45] <Moopz> Hey.. Noobish question, but say I want to remove previous kernel versions from my system. How do I go about that? I can find some of it in the Package manager but I don't know what to delete
[07:45] <jesusvaldez> whaat can i do now
[07:45] <soreau> ljsoftnet: You could try setting a Virtual line in xorg.conf..
[07:46] <cryptodira> livingdaylight, when you do that... take a look at the cpu and mem columns... is there one showing higher numbers than the rest.... that 'may' be your culprit.
[07:46] <ljsoftnet> soreau i already did change it, but after reboot it still doesn't want me too
[07:46] <|||zal|||> any script for xorg.conf pls
[07:46] <moth_woman> Moopz: you don't need to uninstall old one to use newer one.
[07:46] <soreau> ljsoftnet: What resolutions are max for each monitor and what does xrandr say the maximum is?
[07:46] <pranay_09> ActionParsnip, when i log into the laptop it by default goes to runlevel 2 , i want to go to graphics mode ,  i even changed the telinit 2 to telnint 5 in /etc/event.d/rc-default  file but still when i log in i don't get into graphical mode
[07:46] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, I don't know whether it is a clue, but the panel goes funny sometimes. with the username and shutdown button getting split in two. Configuring the clock, by adding locations and adding seconds seems to trigger that (eventually, after some time)
[07:46] <jesusvaldez> im installing from a usb drive
[07:46] <soreau> |||zal|||: It's already installed by default
[07:46] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, ok
[07:47] <Moopz> moth_woman, I know but I want to clean up my grub loader, and I don't see a reason to have 5+ kernel versions laying around.
[07:47] <|||zal|||> xorg.conf is blank T_T
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> jesusvaldez: read ubottu's factoid. It shows how to test the iso. If its bad you will need to redownload
[07:47] <moth_woman> o
[07:47] <ljsoftnet> soreau my laptop 1024x768 the external monitor 1280x1024, xrandr maximum is 2048 x 2048
[07:47] <soreau> |||zal|||: There is no xorg.conf by default
[07:47] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Which version of ubuntu?
[07:48] <ljsoftnet> 10.04
[07:48] <ljsoftnet> soreau 10.04
[07:48] <cryptodira> livingdaylight, what else is on your top panel?
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> pranay_09: the default behavior is to boot desktop. Did you change the boot options any to boot to text mode?
[07:49] <|||zal|||> /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?? right
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> Pra
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> Pra
[07:49] <pranay_09> ActionParsnip, no
[07:50] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, volume, network manage and whatever applications are running
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> pranay_09: if not then you should check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for why the x server isn't loading
[07:50] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, http://img152.imageshack.us/i/screenshotxt.png/
[07:51] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Try setting a Virtual line in xorg.conf of 2560 1024 like this http://pastebin.com/1wiBYa2G
[07:51] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, I've just stopped drop box
[07:51] <ljsoftnet> soreau ok w8
[07:51] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Delete the Driver line that says "vesa" (or change it to intel, which is the default)
[07:52] <cryptodira> livingdaylight,  hang on a sec....
[07:52] <Moopz> Hey.. Noobish question, but say I want to remove previous kernel versions from my system. How do I go about that? I can find some of it in the Package manager but I don't know what to delete
[07:52] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, I've heard that compiz can have a bug?
[07:52] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Put this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/Sm7E8xA6
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> soreau: isn't there a ppa for the intel 8xxx chip to make it nice?
[07:53] <|||zal|||> i try :D thanks
[07:53] <soreau> ActionParsnip: nfc
[07:53] <pranay_09> ActionParsnip, it's a long file what should i look for?
[07:54] <ljsoftnet> soreau ok w8
[07:54] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Make sure to use the text area at the bottom of the pastebin so as to not copy the line numbers
[07:54] <ljsoftnet> soreau ok
[07:54] <sahitya> Hey....
[07:54] <soreau> ljsoftnet: After you save the file, restart X by logging out
[07:55] <ljsoftnet> soreau ok
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Moopz: uname -a   gives the CURRENT kernel. dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2   shows INSTALLED kernels.
[07:55] <sahitya> I want to open windows drive in ubuntu
[07:55] <sahitya> can someone help me
[07:55] <sahitya> Anyone :( ?
[07:55] <Jordan_U> sahitya: Your windows partition should be listed in Places > Computer.
[07:55] <soreau> sahitya: Are you using a live session or do you have ubuntu installed already?
[07:56] <cryptodira> livingdaylight, beyond doing a boot from disk and comparing htop from that boot to a screenshot of htop on a fresh boot from your harddrive.... i am out of suggestions.
[07:56] <eto> hello .... ubufagfs how does one change per user's locale in your crappy distro from console? a common task?
[07:56] <sahitya> i installed ubuntu already
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> Moopz: remove installed kernels but NOT the CURRENT kernel
[07:56] <gunndawg> How can I manually move one folder into another folder that doesnt give you permission to move
[07:56] <Moopz> ActionParsnip, I know which versions I want to remove already but I cannot find heads or tails in the Package Manager files to find out which to remove
[07:56] <soreau> sahitya: Does 'mount' show the ntfs partition is mounted to a location?
[07:56] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, ok, thank you. What is boot from disc? is that a big procedure?
[07:56] <GHH> hey
[07:57] <Jordan_U> eto: That type of attitude, and those homophobic terms are not acceptable in this channel.
[07:57] <cryptodira> livingdaylight,  your install disk...put it in and let it boot... ( you may or may not have to change the boot order in your bios)
[07:58] <moth_woman> sahitya: install ntfs-3g and edit your etc/fstab then mount -a
[07:58] <sahitya> Jordan_U :There is nothing listed like computer in places
[07:59] <GHH> i was removed quiet splash from /etc/default/grub. But it is not giving me console or gui login prompt. Why is this problem?
[07:59] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, I see, bootup with live cd take a screenshot of htop and compare?
[07:59] <cryptodira> livingdaylight,  it is like you are doing an install.... you have the option of running ubuntu WITHOUT installing.
[07:59] <Jordan_U> sahitya: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[08:00] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, I understand. just use live mode to go into virtual desktop
[08:00] <piercedwater> I need some opinions...anyone up for it
[08:00] <cryptodira> livingdaylight,  yes, correct... i would take a screenshot of a hard disk boot...with nothing running but htop... save it to desktop... then reboot from the live cd and run htop again... put the 2 screens side by side.
[08:00] <soreau> piercedwater: nope
[08:00] <soreau> ! ask | piercedwater
[08:01] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, can I install htop in this live cd mode session?
[08:01] <ljsoftnet> soreau still cant max the laptop resolution same as before
[08:01] <soreau> livingdaylight: Yes
[08:01] <red2kic> GHH: When you make changes to /etc/default/grub, you're to run a special command. It said so in /etc/default/grub.
[08:01] <livingdaylight> soreau, ok, thx
[08:01] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, thx for everything
[08:01] <soreau> livingdaylight: You can do anything in the live session. Just remember the file system is running in memory
[08:01] <cryptodira> livingdaylight, you should be able to run it .... open a terminal .... cd to where htop lives... and run it.
[08:02] <piercedwater> I have a Dell PowerEdge 1850 that needs a new riser baord ($90 used) and a new power supply ($50). Would you all invest that much into that server?
[08:02] <cryptodira> livingdaylight, your welcome... good luck :)
[08:02] <livingdaylight> :D
[08:02] <vega-_> piercedwater: not really the right channel for that question
[08:02] <GHH> red2kic, i have did update-grub
[08:02] <piercedwater> uh ok
[08:02] <vega-_> this is for ubuntu support
[08:02] <piercedwater> ok
[08:02] <piercedwater> oh
[08:03] <soreau> ljsoftnet: What does xrandr report as the maximum now?
[08:03] <livingdaylight> cryptodira, you may be interested to know. The culprit may be a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tangerine/+bug/455238
[08:03] <Jordan_U> piercedwater: Try ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:03] <GHH> red2kic, i am running 10.10
[08:03] <ryansmith> I'm having trouble getting the optical (s/pdif) out port working on my Turtle Beach Montego DDL. Gnome-volume-control doesn't show an optical out option and alsamixer shows the s/pdif as "off" with not option to enable it. Anyone have any suggestions?
[08:03] <ryansmith> *no
[08:03] <piercedwater> thanks
[08:03] <realg> where is sqlite3 installed in ubuntu ? not finding the installation dir
[08:03] <ljsoftnet> soreau still the same 2048x2048
[08:03] <red2kic> GHH: What problem are you exactly having?
[08:03] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?
[08:04] <cryptodira> livingdaylight,  Thanks for the link!  you may be on the mark with that.
[08:04] <ljsoftnet> soreau ok
[08:04] <soreau> ljsoftnet: basically I think your hardware may not be capable of doing this, especially not with acceleration
[08:04] <amit> by mistake a text file is deleted by me having my important documents,how to recover this plz help me
[08:04] <gunndawg> could someone tell me how to sudo move a .zip file from my desktop into the docky themes folder ?
[08:04] <ljsoftnet> soreau ah
[08:05] <realg> quit
[08:05] <KB1JWQ> amit: Restore from backups.
[08:05] <amit> how to do that
[08:05] <red2kic> gunndawg: "sudo mv"
[08:05] <amit> i haven't backup yet
[08:05] <KB1JWQ> amit: Then you're out of luck I'm afraid.
[08:05] <GHH> red2kic, It is just giving some text (Like debug/console mode). After that it is not giving any option for login (like stand by)
[08:05] <moth_woman> amit: there's no way..
[08:05] <pranay_09> i am not able to log into graphics mode in ubuntu 9.04 , the default is text mode,  i even changed the telinit 2 to telnint 5 in /etc/event.d/rc-default  file but still when i log in i don't get into graphical mode
[08:05] <amit> should i use scalpel
[08:06] <amit> can installing scalpel or foremost  help me to recover
[08:06] <GHH> red2kic, Actually i am trying to remove Gnome login GUI interface and splash wallpaper
[08:06] <red2kic> GHH: If it was previously working, then maybe you did something that you shouldn't. See if you can get on virtual console.
[08:06] <soreau> ljsoftnet: This command will at least tell you the maximum texture size for your card:  glxinfo -l|grep -i max_texture_size
[08:06] <gunndawg> red2kic is it the name of the file first then sudo mv and destination folder or what ?
[08:06] <red2kic> !tty | GHH
[08:07] <red2kic> gunndawg: "sudo mv /path/Desktop/bears.zip /tmp"
[08:07] <soreau> ljsoftnet: You shouldn't exceed this area by any dimension in the total resolution of outputs connected to the card, or else any undefined behavior may occur
[08:08] <GHH> red2kic, yeah i did the ctrl + alt + F1-F6 but it is giving me just a blank screen (black)
[08:08] <amit> yup scalpel helps me guys cheers!
[08:08] <red2kic> GHH: What did you type in /etc/default/grub? You mistyped or something. Me guess.
[08:08] <moth_woman> amit: cool I'm going to look into that
[08:09] <soreau> GHH: It is very possible you typo'd somewhere
[08:09] <ljsoftnet> soreau heres the paste bin of /var/log... http://pastebin.com/x2JdbPq1
[08:09] <GHH> red2kic, pm?
[08:09] <red2kic> GHH: No. I prefer it here.
[08:10] <GHH> red2kic, ok
[08:10] <red2kic> GHH: Maybe you forget to append an quote.
[08:11] <GHH> red2kic, Can you tell me How can i disable boot wallpaper ?
[08:11] <red2kic> GHH: I can not. I think you disabled grub.
[08:12] <soreau> ljsoftnet: Search for the word 'virtual' in the log. It seems to ignore the xorg.conf setting. Ask in #intel-gfx maybe
[08:13] <pranay_09> ??
[08:13] <kephu> hi
[08:13] <Jordan_U> GHH: What is the output of "cat /proc/cmdline"?
[08:14] <kephu> hey, does anyone else have this thing where just after installing you get this pretty sweet splash screen the first time you boot ubuntu, and then it never EVER works right ever again?
[08:14] <kephu> I had it on two completely separate machines
[08:14] <ljsoftnet> soreau ok thanks
[08:15] <Jordan_U> kephu: Is one of the first things you usually do after a fresh install to install proprietary graphics drivers?
[08:15] <kephu> yup
[08:15] <Jordan_U> kephu: Proprietary graphics drivers don'
[08:15] <kephu> don' what
[08:15] <soreau> kephu: The proprietary drivers killed it
[08:16] <Jordan_U> kephu: ... Don't support kernel mode setting, which is requrired for that nice splash.
[08:16] <elFidel> dont support that specific bootsplash thing
[08:16] <soreau> indeed
[08:16] <soreau> kms
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> Kephu: i know a guide to force the fb driver during bootup
[08:18] <gunndawg> wow, why is my CPU running 98%!
[08:19] <jmad980> Accomplishment unlocked!
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Kephu: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[08:19] <jmad980> gunndawg: look and see what's eating it up in top htop gnome-system-monitor or w/e
[08:19] <red2kic> gunndawg: "htop" Find out why.
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: run: top ,to see what's munching your mhz
[08:20] <gunndawg> looks like its chromium
[08:20] <jmad980> figures
[08:21] <gunndawg> jmad980, why do ya say that ?
[08:21] <jmad980> I don't like chromium ;)
[08:21] <jmad980> but yeah, I've had that problem previously
[08:21] <jmad980> out of basically nowhere
[08:21] <gunndawg> jmad980, on ur browser you have ?
[08:21] <jmad980> Firefox 4 life ;)
[08:22] <red2kic> Problems goes away when you're using lynx.
[08:22] <jmad980> btw, Firefox 4 is looking very nice
[08:22] <jmad980> red2kic++
[08:22] <red2kic> No flash 4 life. :)
[08:22] <moth_woman> lynx
[08:22] <gunndawg> red2kic, I am on linux
[08:22] <kephu> oh, speaking of drivers and while I'm at it
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Kephu: use that guide until the embedded video. Works great. I do it toal all the systems i setup
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: do you use chromium, or do you use chrome?
[08:22] <kephu> any general clues as to why my audio (both in and out) is stuttering like crap?
[08:22] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, Chrominum
[08:23] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, Chromium*
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: the daily build?

[08:24] <amalgama> hi... i edited /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf file so that the pc would start with initlevel 3 ... nevertheless, nothing changed.. it boots exactly as before... any suggestions??
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: did you add a ppa and install it or just install the ones in the default repos
[08:25] <damian> hello
[08:25] <damian> im from poland
[08:25] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, default repos, even firefox is using quite a bit of CPU
[08:25] <kephu> congratulations, damian
[08:25] <red2kic> damian: Good morning. Welcome to #ubuntu. If you have any questions, ask away.
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> Amalgama: if you add the boot option:  text   it will boot to text mode
[08:26] <Jordan_U> GHH: What is the output of "cat /proc/cmdline"?
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: probably chrome then
[08:26] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, what do you mean?
[08:27] <ernesto_> ...
[08:27] <amalgama> ActionParsnip: i have no relation whatsoever with grub2, so if you can slightly guide me on how to add it ...
[08:27] <avinashhm> hi, i migrated to 10.10 recently ,... i am seeing an instability in network .. i observe eth0 goes down suddenly... it is fixed if i do  a reboot of my ubuntu .. is there any way to reset only network .. [ like re enumerate eth0 ]
[08:27] <amalgama> i have used a number of methods (now, most of them i cannot remember lol),  but it hasnt workes so far
[08:28] <avinashhm> '[43515.967250] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Down' is the message i see ..even if n/w is proper
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: also if you have 64bit OS and installed default flash it goes through a wrapper which can labour on the cpu too
[08:28] <red2kic> Jordan_U: I think he didn't realize he messed up his default/grub
[08:28] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, I am on 32bit
[08:28] <moth_woman> avinashhm: same here 10.10 it was irq conflict
[08:29] <avinashhm> moth_woman, hwo did u confirm irq conflict .. any solution ?
[08:29] <avinashhm> is reboot the only way ?
[08:29] <moth_woman> avinashhm: yup just a sec I'll get it
[08:29] <avinashhm> moth_woman, sure .. np
[08:30] <gunndawg> I think I might have to shut my laptop down if I am maxing the CPU, this is nuts
[08:30] <root> hey everyone
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Amalgama: you add boot options in /etc/default/grub inside the quotes with the default: quiet splash   you can then run: sudo update-grub   to apply
[08:30] <Guest38967> is anyone really proficient in backtrack?
[08:30] <GHH> Jordan_U, I can't login at all
[08:31] <moth_woman> avinashhm: I added irqpoll to my boot menu.lst
[08:31] <triunity> How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information?
[08:31] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | Guest38967
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: should be ok then
[08:31] <Rypervenche> Could someone open up their OpenOffice Writer and click on the magnifying glass on the top right of the page and tell me what the default choice is for the option on the left?

[08:32] <red2kic> GHH: You broke it. Time to plop in LiveCD. Chroot into your /dev/sda -- Bind the paths. Fix your grub and update-grub.
[08:32] <Guest38967> i really need help
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Backtrack isn't supported here
[08:32] <Guest38967> which forum do i go to
[08:32] <Rypervenche> Guest38967: Read what was written to you...
[08:33] <triunity> How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information?
[08:33] <amalgama> ActionParsnip: i will be right back after a restart ;)
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Guest38967: and running an irc client as root is massively foolhardy
[08:33] <Shinnok> :))
[08:33] <avinashhm> moth_woman, sorry .. forgive my ignorance. but i dont' find menu.lst in /boot/grub
[08:33] <triunity> ActionParsnip --> Backtrack comes with only root user
[08:33] <GHH> red2kic, I have install kde
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack
[08:33] <triunity> So he doesn't really have a choice
[08:33] <red2kic> GHH: That's fine. You still have to fix your grub.
[08:34] <triunity> Unless he adds a new user, but then the new user wont be able to launce certian apps
[08:34] <triunity> Its a lose lose...
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> triunity: does it have a facility to make a new user?
[08:34] <avinashhm> moth_woman, i have crypto.lst, command.lst, handler.lst, fs.lst, moddep.lst, parttool.lst, partmap.lst, video.lst, terminal.lst
[08:34] <moth_woman> avinashhm: might be named something else like grub.cfg I dunno I use debian
[08:34] <avinashhm> moth_woman, mine is ubuntu 10.10
[08:34] <avinashhm> yeah i have grub.cfg
[08:35] <byunting> hello
[08:35] <GHH> red2kic, but i can not login
[08:35] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | avinashhm
[08:35] <morgan> hey all - got what may be a stupid question. I wanna list every file in every directory in nautilus.. any hints?
[08:35] <red2kic> GHH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 --See "Reinstalling GRUB 2"
[08:35] <moth_woman> avinashhm: linux /boot/vmlinuz26 irqpoll root=bla bla bla
[08:35] <byunting> china?
[08:36] <red2kic> GHH: You need to use LiveCD (the disc you used to install Ubuntu or Kubuntu).
[08:36] <byunting> 中文？
[08:36] <moth_woman> should look something like that
[08:36] <Jordan_U> !cn | byunting
[08:37] <avinashhm> moth_woman, thanks very much i ll try this .. any place where i can get to see what irqpoll does ?
[08:37] <triunity> How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information?
[08:37] <moth_woman> avinashhm: I havn't the slightest
[08:37] <neilman011> why is running xchat as root stupid?
[08:38] <avinashhm> moth_woman, no probs .. i ll try this .. again, thanks very much buddy.
[08:38] <Shinnok> neilman011: in case of a sploity \o.
[08:38] <elFidel> neilman011: reverse the question: why running it as root in the first place?
[08:38] <morgan> anyone got any idea about my nautilus issue? I wanna show everyfile on a drive..
[08:38] <neilman011> im not sure how to do it any other way
[08:38] <GHH> red2kic,ok. How can i disable or remove all GNOME boot big screen/wallpaper and using kde as default ?
[08:38] <neilman011> im really new to ubuntu/backtrack
[08:39] <red2kic> GHH: In /etc/default/grub. You can disable it.
[08:39] <Shinnok> neilman011: shold try ubuntu first? get familiar with that and then take backtrack to a ride
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Neilman011: backtrack isn't supported here
[08:39] <Rypervenche> Could someone open up their OpenOffice Writer and click on the magnifying glass on the top right of the page and tell me what the default choice is for the option on the left?
[08:40] <neilman011> does me running as root pose any risk to my compute just chatting like this
[08:40] <moth_woman> neilman011: no
[08:41] <triunity> They really should create a bt irc channel.  Though i wouldn't want to be the person answering those questions... "How do i hack <insert something illegal"
[08:41] <discord_> my dvd rom isnt working, but its worked before. It's like it doesn't detect the dvd in the drive
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Neilman011: yes
[08:41] <neilman011> how does it pose a risk?
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Neilma
[08:42] <red2kic> neilman011: You're running a root privlege. Someone use the exploit to get into your machine. Format your hard drives for lols.
[08:42] <neilman011> haha i actually want to see somebody do that
[08:42] <GHH> red2kic,How? is it removing "quite splash"
[08:42] <triunity> not to mention, everyone knows the bt password. so we could take over your system in no time...
[08:42] <GHH> neilman011, see pm
[08:42] <avinashhm> Jordan_U, thanks very much , i read the link .. thank u.
[08:42] <discord_> anybody help me to get my dvd working / mounted?
[08:42] <leoncutz> hi there i am new to ubuntu. i've just install it yesterday & it seems that i am having trouble with the sound. there isn't any. can anyone help me pls?
[08:42] <red2kic> neilman011: Root allows xchat to write files to places they shouldn't write to.
[08:42] <Jordan_U> avinashhm: You're welcome.
[08:42] <triunity> How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information?
[08:43] <iceroot> neilman011: if you have an exploit in your software you are running as root, the atacker can start code with the user your program is running, in this case, root
[08:43] <red2kic> GHH: That is one way. The another way is to install different plymouth boot (text).
[08:43] <neilman011> but just chatting is it possible for somebody to do that or would i need to click something?
[08:43] <triunity> neilman what happens if i run : "rm -r /*" as a sudo user?
[08:43] <one> what
[08:43] <Jordan_U> !danger
[08:43] <iceroot> neilman011: its just possible with chatting, e.g. someone is sending you a crafted string
[08:44] <iceroot> neilman011: which will exploit your client
[08:44] <neilman011> what does that command do
[08:44] <triunity> ohh god
[08:44] <Jordan_U> triunity: That command attempts to delete all files in the filesystem. Please don't repeat it here.
[08:44] <ignus> it starts a nuclear chain reaction
[08:44] <morgan> remove recursive from root
[08:44] <moth_woman> neilman011: neilman011: it erases your hardrive
[08:44] <iceroot> neilman011: so please stop running programs as root if they dont need root. its not supported here and a very stupid idea
[08:45] <GHH> neilman011, You use Backtrack as your primary os?
[08:45] <triunity> Jordan_U: I am fully aware of the power of that command, i was merely remarking on why neilman shouldn't be running as root in irc
[08:45] <neilman011> no i have like 5 laptops i just started using backtrack
[08:45] <TheMusicGuy> I have a complicated request. Is it possible to have my system go into suspend mode after a certain amount of inactivity, but ONLY if its a certain time of day?
[08:45] <triunity> And i will not utter any other destructive commands
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Neilman011: irc exploits gaining root access, people telling you to execute stuff in the clieng which some support. Attackers may capture the process and gain the access of the running account which is normally user but will be root in your case so gives 100% system access including stored passwords and access to local email data if you use a client. I can go on
[08:45] <iceroot> neilman011: backtrack is also not supported here
[08:46] <neilman011> if i didn't tell you, how would you have know that i'm in root?
[08:46] <gunndawg> ugg there is no resaon firefox and chromium should be maxing out my CPU usage!
[08:46] <GHH> red2kic, Can you help me customizing ubuntu ?
[08:46] <Shinnok> neilman011: #backtrack-linux .
[08:46] <triunity> neilman for using bt you really don't know alot about explotation and penitration testing...
[08:46] <moth_woman> neilman011: ~root@23432.234.234
[08:46] <iceroot> neilman011: lets stop the stupid root-discussion, we told you its a bad idea
[08:46] <kandinski> hi, how can I add this ppa to my sources?
[08:46] <red2kic> GHH: Did you fix your grub first?
[08:46] <kandinski> https://launchpad.net/~matthaeus123/+archive/mrw-gimp-svn/+packages
[08:47] <morgan> no one got a hint on this simple prob in nautilus? a list of files in subdirectories?
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: try removing plugins like java and flash or addons to isolate the issue
[08:47] <triunity> How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information?
[08:47] <neilman011> it can't be any worse of a conversation then what you guys are talking about
[08:47] <neilman011> how do i get out of root then?
[08:47] <leoncutz> can anyone help me to solve my sound trouble. there is no drivers install
[08:48] <triunity> neilman run this command "adduser <USERNAME>"
[08:48] <moth_woman> neilman011: create a user account and log into that instead
[08:48] <triunity> change <USERNAME> for a user that you would like to have in the system
[08:48] <GHH> red2kic, I have actually mounted , chrooted and then editing manually and at least testing it again and again(with kde)
[08:48] <triunity> then give it root access
[08:49] <neilman011> ok i just ran that command
[08:49] <Rypervenche> kandinski: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn
[08:49] <triunity> ok, if you did it right, you should now have a new user in the system
[08:49] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, I dont have any plugins or add-ons installed
[08:49] <kandinski> Rypervenche: ta
[08:49] <moth_woman> neilman011: read the manual for adduser
[08:49] <triunity> next edit /etc/sudoers
[08:49] <neilman011> ok i just made a new user
[08:49] <GHH> neilman011, You hacker or going to be a hacker?
[08:49] <triunity> and give that new user sudo access
[08:50] <neilman011> no i just want to learn a little bit more
[08:50] <red2kic> GHH: You only need to chroot in and fix your GRUB2 first. Then you don't need to use chroot again. That way, you boot into your real system. Furthurmore, if you don't know what you're doing, don't worry about customization, just grab a Kubuntu disc. It'll have KDE boot splash style.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack | neilman011
[08:50] <neilman011> i know the basics such as ettercap and a little bit of metasplit
[08:50] <triunity> so, something like "nano /etc/sudoers"
[08:50] <Jordan_U> neilman011: If you use Ubuntu rather than backtrack you will not be logging in as root by default, and you will be able to get support here.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> neilman011: your OS isn't supported here
[08:50] <neilman011> i just made a new backtrack user so i assume that is not root by default
[08:51] <Rypervenche> neilman011: I just run backtrack off of an SD card whenever I need it. I don't use it as my main OS. I would recommend running it off of a DVD or USB drive only.
[08:51] <Gnea> Jordan_U: since when does backtrack default to root for login?
[08:51] <triunity> with the line "<USERNAME>  ALL=(ALL) ALL"
[08:51] <neilman011> it always does
[08:51] <Jordan_U> Gnea: AFAIK forever.
[08:51] <Gnea> neilman011: you will need to ask for help in #backtrack-linux from here on out
[08:51] <red2kic> triunity: Use visudo when it c omes to /etc/sudoers.
[08:51] <Gnea> Jordan_U: I'll have to double check that...
[08:52] <discord_> TheMusicGuy: how about a cron job to start the service which does that
[08:52] <triunity> red2kic: I really don't like vi or vim... so even though i shouldn't i use gui programs.... and seeing as our friend doesn't know how to add a user, i didn't want to subject him to vi
[08:52] <vinok> neilman011, i think you are in the wrong channel. BT is a compilation of hacking/cracking software into one os. if you really want to learn, research each tools availble, the concept of the attack. the people from the backtrack channel can assist you
[08:53] <Jordan_U> triunity: visudo doesn't actually use vi unless that is the default editor.
[08:53] <Gnea> vinok: he already left.
[08:53] <triunity> Jordan_U:  I didn't know....

[08:53] <ucenik04> haw are you
[08:53] <Gnea> ucenik04: oh really?
[08:53] <triunity> Learn something new everyday...
[08:53] <triunity> How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information?
[08:54] <Gnea> vinok: one of the main reasons why I *don't* turn joins and part messages off :)
[08:54] <red2kic> It is wiki. You can edit it.
[08:54] <triunity> Thanks red2kic
[08:55] <TheMusicGuy> discord_, what service does that? All I know is the graphical interface for configuring it (System>Preferences>Power Management)
[08:55] <resurection> What program can do sync folders via FTP by schedule?
[08:56] <discord_> ;;
[08:56] <TheMusicGuy> resurection, I'm thinking a combination of rsync and crontab,
[08:56] <GHH> red2kic, Backtrack for example
[08:57] <TheMusicGuy> resurection, That should at least get you started
[08:57] <triunity> resurection: http://serverfault.com/questions/24622/how-to-use-rsync-over-ftp
[08:57] <TheMusicGuy> resurection, If its for backup then I recommend rsnapshot (available from the repos)
[08:57] <Slion> After upgrading to 10.04LTS I cannot login anymore. It says access denied in the UI.
[08:57] <Slion> How can I fix this?
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> resurection: you can mount ftp servers and rsync / cron the copy process
[08:58] <Slion> I can still login as root from the recovery console
[08:58] <GHH> lol i am connected or disconected from irc
[08:58] <GHH> ?
[08:58] <livingdaylight> GHH, we are both disconnected
[08:59] <vinok> guys where is the file located where i can edit my ip address manually.
[08:59] <GHH> livingdaylight, hahaha
[08:59] <Slion> actually it says 'permission denied' from the login screen
[09:00] <TheMusicGuy> vinok, you can modify your ip address using the ifconfig utility. I don't know if there is a file (there might be)
[09:00] <livingdaylight> GHH, it is not funny, we are disconnected from mothership; floating through space.... omg... what will happen to us?
[09:00] <Jordan_U> !ot | livingdaylight
[09:00] <resurection> TheMusicGuy: not for backup. I need sync my_documents folder between notebook and home station. Sync must by 2 way. Thenks for link, i'll read about rsync.
[09:01] <GHH> red2kic, i am trying to customize ubuntu for our company.  such a way did Backtrack(Ubuntu renamed as Backtrack)
[09:01] <TheMusicGuy> I didn't give a link ^_^
[09:01] <vinok> TheMusicGuy, yup there is a file where the ifconfig writes to, but i can't find it =(
[09:02] <TheMusicGuy> vinok, are you sure altering the file would automatically update the NICs correctly and such?
[09:02] <vinok> TheMusicGuy, yup that's the idea
[09:04] <discord_> TheMusicGuy: search for documentation on using grep, its fairly easy to use. I think maybe you could use it to change the gconf settings for gnome power manager
[09:04] <vinok> TheMusicGuy, I found it already thanks anyways =)
[09:04] <bc81> can someone recommend a mini/micro USB Wireless adapter for an older laptop?  i'm looking at one but i'm not sure if it's linux compatible: http://tinyurl.com/wirelessUSBlinux

[09:09] <kandinski> discord_: you were supposed to pick up the slack
[09:09] <kandinski> tsk tsk
[09:09] <discord_> kandinski: i do some

[09:39] <ivan_> Yes, I have. I wonder if I can make bootable flash disk with "Startup Disk Creator" on the base of ext2 filesystem. Well, you see, this utility formats disk in FAT! It's not logical deed.
[09:41] <bc81> ivan_: try using gparted to format your drive, you will have many more options than FAT.  sudo apt-get install gparted

[09:55] <henson1001p>  for i in `find /lib /var -name wl\.ko`; do mv $i $i.orig; done -- works for me
[09:55] <its-me-again> i never needed to do that or anything similar
[09:55] <red2kic> Slion: This is why I always do a clean installations over upgrading. Far less hassle.
[09:55] <ranjan> hi all
[09:55] <hrhrhr> what's the best way to get an 'image' backup or as close to as possible?
[09:55] <its-me-again> i cant help you much ok

[09:55] <Slion> red2kic I take note
[09:55] <its-me-again> Tm_T: y ban him
[09:55] <henson1001p> Guest82375: So I guess, just use your original without the braces. And you're not typing 'sh:' right?
[09:56] <its-me-again> Tm_T: shesh did he do anything that ad
[09:57] <ranjan> how can i partition my usb pendrive so that the system identifies it as two devices??
[09:57] <Tm_T> its-me-again: he was banned previously and haven't discussed about it, getting around the ban isn't allowed
[09:57] <greenmang0> ranjan: by making 2 partitions on your pen drive
[09:58] <its-me-again> Tm_T: exactly but be fair andgive seccond chances and all i was banned in my early days because i did not know how to act in #ubuntu and people where not overfriendly to em

[10:00] <Guest82375> henson1001p thnx, i know a bit of programming
[10:00] <bc81> greenmang0: i haven't used a mac ever, but do you check the BIOS for any USB boot options?
[10:00] <Guest82375> and im noob in linux
[10:00] <Guest82375> so i don't know how that expression works
[10:00] <hilarie> It's adding a new repository, and I installed the .deb to add a new repository, but it's still not working,
[10:00] <greenmang0> bc81: mac doesn't contain BIOS
[10:01] <bc81> greenbit_: oh lol.  last apple/mac product i used was in the early 80's an "Apple IIe"
[10:03] <hilarie> ... is there any way to make ubuntu 10.10 as friendly as windows...
[10:04] <hilarie> I am trying to install a program, but its the wrong for 32bit, and I am running 64 bit, windows lets you do that, why wont ubuntu?
[10:04] <Gnea> hilarie: ubuntu does let you.
[10:05] <hilarie> @gnea Wrong architecture 'i386'
[10:05] <ranjan> greenmang0, but it considers just as partitions. i want to create it as two devices
[10:05] <gunndawg> Gnea, hey can I PM you ?
[10:06] <Gnea> gunndawg: k

[10:09] <asfjio> hello guys, i'm trying to restart rsyslog daemon by doing "sudo service rsyslog restart", but it says "restart: Unknown instance:". anyone can help?
[10:09] <hilarie> @RanJan I found the game originally here http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/10.10/?category=Simulation but i can't get that website to work, I tried to add the .deb package that is supposed to add the ripositories needed for those games, but it didn't, or they need to be updated or something on my side of things
[10:09] <iceroot> asfjio: rsyslogd
[10:09] <greenmang0> ranjan: hmm...
[10:09] <asfjio> iceroot: "rsyslogd: unrecognized service"
[10:10] <insane_kangaroo> thanks
[10:10] <joaopinto> hilarie, you need to refresh your repository information
[10:10] <insane_kangaroo> doing a dox on someone who hacked a popular furry forum
[10:10] <ranjan> greenmang0, is there any solution?
[10:10] <joaopinto> hilarie, from the terminal: sudo apt-get update
[10:10] <asfjio> iceroot: my version is "Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l"
[10:10] <hilarie> @joanpinto okay,
[10:11] <greenmang0> ranjan: as far as i know, no.. why do you want to do it?
[10:11] <hilarie> !!! They are working now, thank you
[10:11] <Chalkie1983> Hey guys, i am using ubuntu 10.04 on my dedi server, i cant get infront of the machine to upgrade to 10.10, but the version of transmissionbt is 1.93 and the latest is 2.13, how can i force ubuntu to download and install the latest version?
[10:11] <iceroot> asfjio: hm, sorry i am not using a new version, so i am only using /etc/init.d/ and cant help with "service"
[10:11] <asfjio> iceroot: okay, thanks though.
[10:11] <ranjan> greenmang0, i want to do it coz i want to make one splitted driver for Bootable OS and other for Keeping my files :)
[10:12] <ranjan> greenmang0, i have a similar thing done here with me , but i dont know how it became like that.
[10:12] <ranjan> hilarie, i think then you should go for installing from source
[10:13] <hilarie> @ranjan Joanpinto was able to get the installer working from the original source was
[10:13] <henson1001p> asfjio: Take off the 'd' on rsyslog
[10:13] <hilarie> @ranjan I have spent many hours trying to source things, it never works out lol
[10:14] <ranjan> hilarie, did you follow this guide? http://the-powder-toy.wikispaces.com/Building+in+Linux
[10:15] <hilarie> @ranjan hehe, that's the kind of compiling I might be able to handle :) but I got it installed after I updated my repositories
[10:15] <ranjan> hilarie, great :)
[10:15] <ranjan> hilarie, enjoy playing :)
[10:15] <hilarie> Thank you for your help
[10:16] <bc81> Chalkie1983: you installing the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa
[10:17] <bc81> Chalkie1983: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa, sudo apt-get update
[10:18] <tufu> 有人么
[10:19] <bc81> !cn | tufu
[10:20] <Chalkie1983> bc81 thanks a lot
[10:20] <bc81> Chalkie1983: you''re welcom
[10:20] <Dreki_> whats that nickserv command to get your nickname back from someone else on the server using it?
[10:21] <Chalkie1983> ./msg nickserv kill <username> <password>
[10:21] <Chalkie1983> thats what it is on my other server anyway
[10:21] <asfjio> henson1001p: i think i was stopped before i try to restart it, so thats why it says to me "restart: Unknown instance:". thanks it is working now.
[10:22] <Ad0> hi
[10:22] <henson1001p> asfjio: Ah, great!
[10:22] <Ad0> installing RAID-5 with 4 1TB disks.
[10:22] <Ad0> I created a 3+1 setup (1 spare)
[10:22] <Ad0> but it shows only 2 TB?
[10:22] <Ad0> should really show 3
[10:23] <DJones> Dreki_: It might be worth you setting nick protection on as well, that'd stop somebody using the nick without knowing the password, ask in #freenode if you need help doing that
[10:25] <snowrichard> my windows PC is down.  It needs a new CPU fan.  The power supply tries to start the fan spinning and it does not start, then it tries again about a second later.
[10:25] <snowrichard> but the fan does a little shake every few seconds
[10:26] <Chalkie1983> so your CPU is over heating?
[10:26] <snowrichard> well it didn't
[10:26] <snowrichard> just the fan won't start so it doesn't complete POST
[10:26] <snowrichard> i took the fan off and cleaned the heat sink out
[10:26] <neure> hello
[10:26] <snowrichard> a lot of dust there
[10:27] <sergio91pt> once I forgot to reconnect the fan after cleaning my pc
[10:27] <neure> how do i build linux-tools for my kernel version?
[10:27] <sergio91pt> it worked fine for some mins on xp
[10:30] <snowrichard> i have an amd 64 system here not being used.  if could image the windows install to several DVD's and be able to restore it to the amd 64 sata drive i could use that system
[10:30] <snowrichard> or better yet copy the windows partition to my external 2TB linux drive
[10:33] <its-me-again> thanks for the chat Tm_T
[10:34] <snowrichard> the new fan is cheap i'll go ahead and replace the fan then try to move the windows install to the amd64 system
[10:36] <its-me-again> sno
[10:36] <its-me-again> snowrichard: you will nave no luck windows needs to be installed on the computer from scratch
[10:37] <its-me-again> and the motherboard drivers used
[10:38] <its-me-again> snowrichard: it might start gto boot the os but have major problems.
[10:39] <snowrichard> well if it no longer works i basically have only been using it for one app, a chat program, and i can chat with most of those folks on facebook.
[10:39] <snowrichard> i'm not spending the 100 bucks again
[10:40] <bc81> snowrichard: what chat program is it?
[10:41] <snowrichard> paltalk.com.  They have a web based version of it but adobe flash player 10 crashes when you try to input the password
[10:42] <snowrichard> and the mobile web version also had problems and there is no version of the app for android yet only i phone and blackberry
[10:42] <bc81> oh i see
[10:43] <bc81> looks like empathy or pidgin can compete with it, no?
[10:43] <snowrichard> just my friends on there use that program and facebook and that's about it
[10:44] <yeshu> how to run c program on ubuntu
[10:45] <yeshu> yeshu,  i have installed gcc
[10:45] <gidas> ;D
[10:45] <snowrichard> you must compile it using gcc -o objectfilename sourcename.c
[10:45] <snowrichard> then ./objectfilename
[10:45] <snowrichard> but in the general case you'll probably run make
[10:45] <amalgama> yeshu: type in terminal "gcc    -o    [the name of the txt file]         [the name of the new file].c
[10:45] <snowrichard> to build it
[10:46] <amalgama> oh, already answered...
[10:47] <its-me-again> e chatting
[10:50] <ct529> hi guys. just installed ubuntu with lxde and having some substantial problems .... it works perfectly from live cd .... when I install I get flooded by local_softirq_pending 08 errors ...
[10:50] <ct529> any clue?
[10:50] <ct529> I have done plenty of googling but cannot udnestand the issue
[10:52] <Gnea> ct529: have you tried turning on irq polling or irq routing?
[10:52] <rtyuio> hi there
[10:52] <rtyuio> how to install .bin file file ?
[10:52] <Gnea> depends what the .bin file is
[10:54] <anirudhr> How do I connect to a remote MySQL server using the mysql CLI application?
[10:55] <rtyuio> from a week i try to install this j2sdk-1_4_2_13-linux-ia64.bin one, impossible it just returning to next line Gnea
[10:55] <rtyuio> is that possible or not ?
[10:56] <ct529> Gnea: what is irq polling / routing and how do I turn it on?
[10:56] <minimec> anirudhr: The application would be phpmyadmin. You might have to install it.
[10:57] <anirudhr> minimec: I was just told I could do "mysql --host" to connect.
[10:58] <mulmundang> hi
[10:58] <ranjan> Hi ,all, can anyone help me in installing and configuring Conky as shown in this site???? http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/12/13-breathtaking-conky-configurations.html
[10:58] <bc81> anirudhr: use mysql --help or man mysql, mysql --host=host_name --password[=password] etc..
[10:58] <taran> I have my printer connected to localhost but every time I give print command I ge the message print Job Submitted it never prints
[10:58] <minimec> anirudhr: You can connect to your mysql host via terminal and commandline. phpMyadmin is a Web.based admin software. YOu would probably access it with www. yourhost.com/phpMyadmin or so.
[10:59] <taran> !localhost
[10:59] <ranjan> any conky specialists here??
[10:59] <mulmundang> hi~
[10:59] <Sharad> join #ubuntu
[11:00] <bc81> ranjan, i use conky (albeit a minimalist configuration, nothing too elaborate)
[11:00] <ct529> Gnea: what do you think is giving that error? and why is the error not happening when I use live cd?
[11:01] <ranjan> bc81, can you help me in configuring conky like the one shown in that website?
[11:01] <bc81> ranjan: which one?
[11:02] <ct529> Gnea: also, because I am flooded with local_softirq_pending 08 there is no much I can do
[11:02] <ranjan> bc81, http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/12/13-breathtaking-conky-configurations.html
[11:02] <ranjan> bc81, in that the conky street :)
[11:03] <rtyuio> i can't able to install j2sdk-1_4_2_13-linux-ia64.bin
[11:04] <bc81> ranjan: ranjan save the text file http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs37/f/2008/258/8/a/Conky_street_by_Kouri1977.txt as .conkyrc to your home folder then start conky with alt+F2 conky &
[11:04] <ranjan> bc81, which package should i install?? is it Conky?
[11:04] <bc81> ranjan: yes
[11:05] <ranjan> bc81, installed conky :)
[11:06] <ranjan> now going to replace the .conkyrc

[11:07] <bibic682> hello, anyone have an answer for 100% cpu usage while playing swf video online ?
[11:08] <Sharad> hi
[11:08] <Jibadeeha> bibic682, don't play the swf video
[11:09] <Sharad> i m fresher for ubuntu...pl guide me...be my friend...
[11:09] <bc81> ranjan: next, download and extract the fonts to ~/.fonts: http://www.dafont.com/bring-tha-noize.font & http://www.dafont.com/the-b-o-m-b.font
[11:10] <bibic682> Jibadeeha: That is not the answer I was lookin 4  :)
[11:10] <bibic682> I watch streaming tv online and it uses Flash video
[11:11] <red2kic> bibic682: Flash is notorious for causing CPU spikes and issues. Ho ho ho. ;(
[11:11] <bc81> ranjan: then you can play with the gap_x & gap_y values of .conkyrc to position the readouts on your screen
[11:12] <bazhang> taran, what printer model and brand
[11:12] <ranjan> bc81, k i applying the font
[11:12] <taran> bazhang: it is HP laser jet 1020 plus
[11:12] <bibic682> I think it is a conspiracy for you to have to have the latest and greatest computer
[11:13] <bazhang> taran, what does the linuxprinting.org printer database say about that printer
[11:13] <taran> bazhang: I did not check it
[11:13] <bazhang> taran, then good idea to have a look at it
[11:13] <bc81> ranjan: i'm @ 1366x768 and using gap_x 200 & gap_y -70, but depending on your screen res, it will be different
[11:13] <taran> bazhang: ok. Im doing it just NOW
[11:14] <ranjan> bc81, yes the font got applied
[11:14] <bc81> ranjan, good :-)
[11:14] <ranjan> but its showing some letters like "f z j x" instead of that white spots :(
[11:14] <jr-minnaar> Hi Everyone! Do any of you know when Natty Alpha 2 will be released?
[11:14] <ranjan> bc81, what might be the problem?
[11:14] <AbhijiT> jr-minnaar, #ubuntu+1
[11:15] <bc81> ranjan: you need to install both fonts..see above, i linked to them both
[11:15] <bazhang> jr-minnaar, check the release schedule in #ubuntu+1
[11:15] <jr-minnaar> Ah, thanks
[11:15] <jr-minnaar> #ubuntu+1
[11:15] <bc81> ranjan: then killall conky, and alt+F2 conky &
[11:15] <AbhijiT> jr-minnaar, /j #ubuntu+1
[11:16] <Grav> Hello. How Can I disable Ubuntu Software Center while installing deb packages? It feels like I'm back to windows.
[11:16] <ranjan> bc81, OMG, i got it working :)
[11:16] <ranjan> bc81, Luv you :)
[11:16] <ranjan> bc81, thank you :)
[11:16] <bc81> ranjan: xD you're welcome
[11:16] <xangua> Grav: sudo apt-get install gdebi
[11:16] <ranjan> bc81, same way can i do the other configurations?
[11:17] <Grav> xangua: Ok I will try it.
[11:17] <bc81> ranjan: that's the basic idea..just look inside the .conkyrc file for any references to fonts, and download them. some configs might have a README, so be sure to read it
[11:18] <ranjan> bc81, yes i was about to ask that. how did you identified the font?
[11:18] <ChesterX> hi, I am looking for a package grouping some closed source drivers and codecs (MP3, AVI, and such). Unfortunately I don't remember the name, it should be something like ubuntu-forbidden-extras or something alike. Does anyone know the exact name?
[11:18] <ranjan> bc81, ok i found it in the TEXT section :)
[11:19] <AbhijiT> !restricted | ChesterX
[11:19] <ranjan> bc81, let me try the others too ;)
[11:19] <bc81> ranjan: ctrl+f the rc file for the phrase "font" and when you see it, google eg. "Best Of Magurno Brushes font"
[11:19] <bazhang> ChesterX, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:19] <Grav> xangua: Thanks, that's what I needed.
[11:19] <bazhang> ChesterX, check out medibuntu.org also for packages, ie related to playing dvd
[11:20] <ChesterX> thanks @ abhijiT & bazhang
[11:20] <xangua> forbidden-extras :S
[11:20] <dr5t4924> Hi, can someone help me find a command line to play songs in a directory (and subdirs) randomly  with mplayer?
[11:20] <AbhijiT> xangua, software developed at forbbidden kingodom?
[11:20] <AbhijiT> :P
[11:21] <bc81> ranjan: in case you want it, here's my .conkyrc it's very minimalist: http://pastebin.com/H8HxQNG2 :-)
[11:21] <AbhijiT> dr5t4924, mplayer
[11:21] <AbhijiT> though i dunno 'how'
[11:21] <ranjan> bc81, let me check :)
[11:22] <ranjan> bc81, small orange one :) isnt it?
[11:23] <bc81> ranjan: yes :-)  but easy to change the colrs
[11:23] <ChesterX> Usually I use open source but for the netbook there is just to much intel crap for it to work properly
[11:23] <ranjan> bc81, ok :)
[11:23] <dr5t4924> I tried mplayer -shuffle $(find .)  , but then mplayer intereprets every word as a song, not line
[11:23] <bc81> ranjan: you can do ctrl+h in gedit for replace
[11:23] <bullgard4> What does 'PEBS' stand for in http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2010-10/msg08841.html?
[11:24] <ranjan> bc81, great :) and i found that no need to restart conky for the changes to take effect
[11:24] <bc81> ranjan: yes, only ctrl+s...unless you add a font
[11:27] <catmando> hey all
[11:27] <catmando> i've got an odd problem with rabbitmq 1.8 (from the repos)
[11:28] <llutz> bullgard4: cpu-flags grep pebs /proc/cpuinfo
[11:28] <catmando> i'm trying to install it, but it's hanging on starting rabbitmq-server
[11:28] <catmando> what's odd is that if i look at ps i can see that the processes have started
[11:28] <catmando> it just doesn't seem to work that out
[11:28] <catmando> any idea?

[11:47] <Landstalker> hi guys, after some suggestions. I've got a directory of files that all have a code in their name. I need to rename them all to just their codes, but the code can appear anywhere in the filename. They all start with the same three letters though CNN
[11:47] <pradeep> please how did you setup an in house mail server that would work on the intranet inbound and  work on the internet outbound too.
[11:47] <llutz> Landstalker: read "man rename"
[11:47] <multiplatinum> im getting random disconnects, help!!??
[11:48] <geirha> Landstalker: So you know the start, how about determining the end of the code?
[11:48] <bazhang> multiplatinum, please be patient. pasting every few seconds wont get you help quicker
[11:48] <taran> bazhang: downloaded from here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hplip/hplip-3.11.1.run
[11:48] <kamalesh1> Can Ubuntu have Sony's gesture controls (using synaptic pointing device drivers) ? Sony Vaio E series (VPCEA16FG)
[11:48] <Landstalker> no, I know the middle
[11:48] <multiplatinum> but it might be crucial
[11:48] <erUSUL> !mta | pradeep
[11:48] <multiplatinum> what if i get a disconnect again
[11:48] <bazhang> taran, you should install from package manager instead
[11:48] <erUSUL> !mailserver | pradeep
[11:48] <Landstalker> I think something like awk and and for loop are required

[11:49] <multiplatinum> ok my apologies
[11:49] <bazhang> homecable, pardon?
[11:49] <geirha> Landstalker: Just the shell would probably suffice, but you need to know what to look for.
[11:49] <bazhang> !d2nt
[11:49] <erUSUL> Landstalker: show us an example filename and an how it should end up renamed
[11:49] <bullgard4> bc81: Thank you very much for your help.
[11:49] <bc81> bullgard4: you're welcome
[11:49] <bazhang> homecable, disable that

[12:00] <minimec> kamalesh1: Talking to me?
[12:00] <kamalesh1> minimec:  a stupid question, which version should i download ? Karmic,lucid,maverick or natty ? mine is ubuntu 10.10
[12:01] <kamalesh1> minimec:  yes, you suggested me to use easystroke for gestures
[12:01] <elFidel> kamalesh1: maverick = 10.10
[12:01] <kamalesh1> elFidel:  ah thanks :D
[12:01] <minimec> kamalesh1: Using the package manager synaptic with your distribution will choose the right one. What version are you on? 10.04 or 10.10?
[12:02] <dermaku> alo
[12:02] <kamalesh1> minimec: 10.10
[12:02] <minimec> kamalesh1: So why asking? ;)
[12:02] <kamalesh1> minimec:  i didnt remember the codename, someone said it's maveric :D
[12:03] <minimec> kamalesh1: maverick meerkat, that's correct
[12:03] <kamalesh1> minimec: and i was silly enough to forget searching in the synaptic package manager :">

[12:04] <ranjan> bc81, hey how to add the time to show seconds in conky?
[12:04] <kamalesh1> minimec: do you know why amarok is not able to play mp3 ?
[12:05] <anodesni> Hi, is there a hotkey to open totem-plugin in fullscreen in firefox?
[12:05] <kamalesh1> Any idea why amarok is not able to play MP3 ?
[12:06] <minimec> kamalesh1: I am not an amarok user. You might need some additional codecs. I am using gstreamer-based players like rhythmbox, banshee, exaile
[12:06] <user___> hello, when I try to do something that requires admin privilidges, I do sudo command or try doing sudo su, it says: "sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: access denied". When I choose (rescue mode), and login as root, I can cat the sudoers file and compare it with a different computer, it's the same.
[12:06] <bc81> ranjan: see: http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html
[12:06] <jrib> user___: you ran a chmod command, didn't you?
[12:06] <kamalesh1> minimec:  rhythm box is working fine, it's just amarok..
[12:07] <bc81> ranjan: also, http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html
[12:07] <jrib> jenia: paste the output of: ls -l /etc/sudoers
[12:08] <minimec> kamalesh1: It's depending on the multimedia framework. Check medibuntu for the codecs... http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/w32codecs.html
[12:08] <kamalesh1> minimec: Thanks :)
[12:08] <sanmugam> bc81: Will you tell where i can download the wink package?
[12:08] <bc81> ranjan: i think just add times_in_seconds before the TEXT line
[12:08] <GHH> Perhaps here none know answer of my question... is it?
[12:08] <minimec> kamalesh1: there is also a 64bit version http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/w64codecs.html
[12:09] <kamalesh1> minimec: ah, thanks again :)
[12:09] <bc81> sanmugam: http://www.debugmode.com/wink/download.htm
[12:09] <jrib> !helpme | GHH
[12:10] <sanmugam> bazhang: am not satisfied with istanbul.
[12:10] <GHH> jrib, OK .. I was forgot that sorry
[12:10] <kamalesh1> minimec:  Ok, i just insatlled Easystroke, i need to add "Back" functionality to browsers when doing a 2finger flip
[12:10] <buntar> test3
[12:10] <kamalesh1> minimec: So what "Type" action should I be adding ?
[12:11] <jenia> jrib, on sudoers?, no I just copied one file in /etc/rc.d and sbin folders, but after a problem, I booted to a livecd and removed those files. I checked the permissions on sudoers are the same as on other computer: -r--r----- 1 root root 609 2011-01-04 07:35 sudoers
[12:11] <jrib> jenia: what did you copy exactly?
[12:11] <buntar> ks
[12:12] <nishanth> anyone know how i can install a new theme ?
[12:12] <minimec> kamalesh1: Try to read a little bit about easystroke. It's a very powerfull tool. You can define the same gesture for multiple software. Like 'back'-'forward' in browser,file-manager,music-player. it's really cool.
[12:12] <Sheepherd> hey guys i want to set up my own private server with ubuntu. does it matter what hardware i get? the plan is a "HP ProLiant N36L"
[12:12] <kamalesh1> minimec: hm, will do. Thanks again :)
[12:13] <icarus-c> nishanth: gnome-look.org  grab the theme you like.  open up appearance settings,  drag the downloaded file (usually .tar.gz) to the apperance settings window
[12:13] <ranjan> bc81,  times_in_seconds is not working
[12:13] <erUSUL> Sheepherd: #ubuntu-server may be better place to ask about it
[12:13] <jrib> jenia: pastebin: ls -ld /etc $(which sudo)
[12:13] <jenia> jrib, I copied the output of ls -l /etc/sudoers
[12:13] <multiplatinum> when i booted ubuntu, i have random disconnects for the first 5 minutes and then it suddenly stops, any fix?
[12:13] <bc81> ranjan: pastebin your rc
[12:13] <Sheepherd> erUSUL: ah didnt know that channel existed thx :)
[12:14] <nishanth> icarus-c there is nosetting window
[12:14] <icarus-c> nishanth: are you using GNOME?  that is  System-> Preferences -> Appearance
[12:14] <jrib> jenia: yes I know.  But you mentioned "I just copied one file in /etc/rc.d and sbin folders" and I asked what exactly you are talking about
[12:14] <ranjan> bc81, http://pastebin.com/pjsMui4u
[12:15] <nishanth> icarus-c no matter what i do it keeps telling me that it is not a valid theme
[12:15] <GHH> I have spent about 1 month without success changing this wallpaper http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/small/ubuntu1004installation-small_000.png . Still no success. Please Help me to change the wallpaper
[12:15] <buntar> k
[12:15] <icarus-c> nishanth: well then probably it is not a valid theme.  what did you downloaded
[12:15] <ranjan> bc81, going for a reboot. will join back
[12:15] <icarus-c> nishanth: you should be looking for GTK2 theme
[12:15] <nishanth> icarus-c i downloaded GDM theme from gnome looks
[12:15] <jrib> GHH: you want to change your plymouth theme?
[12:16] <icarus-c> nishanth: afaik recent GDM has no theming ability
[12:16] <GHH> jrib, Actually i do not know where the wallpaper is exist but i need to change the wallpaper somehow
[12:17] <nishanth> icarus-c that explains it
[12:17] <sanmugam> bcd1: Am a newbie to ubuntu will you tell how to run .sh file?
[12:17] <icarus-c> nishanth: more over, you wouldn't be digging in System -> Preferences -> Appearance for GDM theme
[12:17] <GHH> jrib, I am not sure where it is exist. Please see the wallpaper : http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/small/ubuntu1004installation-small_000.png
[12:17] <icarus-c> nishanth: nor gdm appearance settings
[12:17] <jrib> GHH: search synaptic for plymouth themes, install the one you want, use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth » to choose, then run « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[12:17] <sanmugam> bc81: in that folder there is a installer.sh how to i run it?
[12:18] <bc81> ranjan: remove the time_in_seconds line, ctrl+h replace ${time %H:%M} with ${time %H:%M:%S}
[12:18] <ranjan> bc81, k :) let me try
[12:18] <sanmugam> bc81: ?
[12:19] <GHH> jrib, We want to use our own wallpaper
[12:19] <bc81> sanmugam: hmm...i guess you chmod +x installer.sh, then ./installer.sh (i don't know for sure, i only used the windows version of wink)
[12:19] <jrib> GHH: then you need to research how to create a plymouth theme
[12:20] <jenia> jrib, I misunderstood your question, I copied files thtat would allow me to use zte mf180 3G modem without it getting disconnected every 2 minutes, they are called: /etc/mf626.conf; /etc/rc.d/rc.mf626-b09; /usr/sbin/mf626-b09 - I deleted them now from those locations. The problem happened when I rebooted for changes to take effect after copying them, after I deleted them the problem didn't...
[12:20] <GHH> jrib, I am not understanding where the wallpaper is coming from
[12:20] <jenia> ...go away.
[12:20] <tim167> hello, my clock applet has dissappeared, how do i get it back?

[12:21] <aum> can anyone tell me where i can find those files of help and support...
[12:21] <tim167> xangua: ok thanks i'll try that
[12:22] <bc81> ranjan: then you may want to add some space: replace ${goto 220}$ with ${goto 220}   $  (or so)
[12:22] <GHH> Please help
[12:22] <GHH> jrib, please help me
[12:22] <ranjan> bc81, ok
[12:22] <jrib> GHH: yes, you want to learn how to create a custom plymouth theme.  I don't know how to do this offhand nor do I know the location of the docs offhand.  My suggestions are to check /usr/share/doc/ for plymouth-related packages, look at the source packages for the different plymouth themes in the repositories, search official plymouth documentation and the ubuntu wiki.  If you have trouble doing that, let me
[12:22] <jrib>  know.
[12:22] <sanmugam> bc81: we can run the sh file using sh installer.sh
[12:22] <kamalesh1> minimec: Hey, does it support multi touch gestures ?
[12:23] <bc81> sanmugam: that works too
[12:23] <tim167> xangua: i only see "about" "remove from panel" and "lock to panel" when right-clicking on the panel
[12:23] <jrib> sanmugam: really shouldn't use sh, make it executable and execute it
[12:23] <sanmugam> bc81: but it needs two more lib dependencies. it is not found in the repositories
[12:23] <pisto> hi. I cannot start an executable (eclipse), I am writing the correct path (indeed, tab-completion writes it for me), but the bash says no such file. It's a live cd, and I have no problems with the persisten installation instead
[12:24] <sanmugam> jriB: yes i did it after then only i use that sh command
[12:24] <xangua> tim167: how about right clic on a CLEAR area
[12:24] <jrib> sanmugam: you shouldn't use sh unless you know the script is meant to be interpreted by dash
[12:24] <sanmugam> bc81: libstdc++.so.5 libexpat.so.0 these are the packages are needed but it is not found in repositries how can i add it?
[12:25] <tim167> xangua: there is no clear area, if i remove an icon the panel resizes to have all its space filled...
[12:25] <bazhang> sanmugam, you're installing wink?
[12:25] <bc81> sanmugam: i don't know mate, sorry
[12:25] <sanmugam> jrib: how can i know it?
[12:25] <sanmugam> bazhang: yes i am trying to install wink.
[12:25] <rohitnikcool> my exaile player does not show shoutcast radio list...
[12:26] <tim167> xangua: anyway, i fixed it another way, clock now on the middle part of the panel...acceptable... thanks :)
[12:26] <Guest54266> Hey All
[12:26] <xangua> !panels | tim167 i suppose you can configure your panel as it was
[12:26] <jrib> sanmugam: you would read the shebang line (or not bother with this and just execute the script directly after making it executable)
[12:26] <sanmugam> bc81: its ok ya thanks for your support
[12:26] <sanmugam> jrib: but in that file there is no shebang line is mentioned.
[12:26] <jrib> jenia: still there?
[12:26] <bc81> sanmugam: good luck ;-) (wink)
[12:26] <xangua> mmm the bot did not hear me.....
[12:27] <minimec> kamalesh1: Had a phone call... Multitouch? You mean 2 finger=right click, 3 finger=middle button. That's default synaptic driver behaviour.
[12:27] <xangua> ooh here there is......too late
[12:27] <bc81> ubottu fell asleep on the job?
[12:28] <sanmugam> bc81: ha ha...
[12:28] <jrib> sanmugam: then ask the author
[12:28] <bc81> xD
[12:28] <sanmugam> jrib: hmmm k k
[12:28] <kamalesh1> minimec: Yes, like that :)
[12:28] <sanmugam> bazhang: any idea?
[12:28] <kamalesh1> minimec: also, 2 finger flip , you simply draw a line with 2 fingers
[12:28] <bazhang> sanmugam, about what
[12:28] <kamalesh1> minimec:  i'm so used to using it on windows, would like to have it here :)
[12:28] <kazagistar> I am trying to install ubuntu on a drive containing an truecrypt encrypted partition and an old linux install. I can see the linux partition (that I want to overwrite) from the live cd menus, but the ubuntu installer does not see any partition table on the drive at all
[12:28] <sanmugam> bazhang: installing wink, i am still struggling with installing the wink
[12:29] <bc81> sanmugam: i think you can search debian repos for the packages:  http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libstdc%2B%2B5  and the like

[12:30] <xangua> AbhijiT: http://font.ubuntu.com/
[12:30] <minimec> kamalesh1: You should be able to do all that. You can also just plug a mouse and do the same gestures with a mouse. It's the same.

[12:33] <kamalesh1> ubottu gesture
[12:33] <jrib> jenia: erm.  Why is your /etc/ owned by tahir and have 700 permissions?
[12:33] <kamalesh1> :D
[12:33] <kamalesh1> minimec: i dont use a mouse, just the touchpad :)
[12:33] <jrib> jenia: /etc/ should not be owned by tahir nor have 700 permissions
[12:33] <kamalesh1> minimec: unless i'm playing games
[12:33] <BinLaden> jean-claude : U r fun Jean Claude Van Damme ??
[12:33] <bazhang> !ot | BinLaden
[12:33] <BinLaden> sorry.
[12:33] <bazhang> BinLaden, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat NOT here
[12:33] <BinLaden> Ok.. OK bazhang i`m verry sorry
[12:33] <jrib> jenia: this doesn't really matter.  We need to know why your /etc/ permissions are broken
[12:33] <kamalesh1> minimec: i just read on a forum that easystroke can not recognise multi touch :)
[12:33] <kamalesh1> minimec: http://www.thejoojooforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=716
[12:33] <bXi> jenia: my guess would be that startx cant read something in /etc because the permissions are broken?
[12:33] <xangua> bazhang: the bot is a little lazy today :S
[12:33] <bazhang> xangua, lagging yes
[12:33] <bc81> aum: try yelp file:///usr/share/gnome/help/gcalctool/C/gcalctool.xml or something
[12:34] <aum> OEM kernel: [ 3999.029789] yelp[2263]: segfault at c ip 005463bd sp b19830c4 error 4 in libpthread-2.12.1.so[53e000+15000]
[12:34] <bc81> bazhang: thanks, i didn't know about that
[12:34] <aum> this is the kernel log error...
[12:34] <cies_> test 123
[12:34] <BinLaden> hmm.. i have question.. On ubuntu is something this to open web browser in text mode with graphical mode browser ??
[12:35] <GHH> jrib, any recommended link please? no good info in /usr/share/doc
[12:35] <bc81> bazhang: but the files he needs aren't in the ubuntu packages, only the debian
[12:35] <BinLaden> I can't talk about links
[12:35] <jrib> GHH: i made 4 suggestions, did you do them all yet? :P
[12:35] <kamalesh1> minimec: Ok, i just read there is no app which can help you do multi touch gesture, on linux :-< , thanks for your help though :)
[12:35] <buntar> test
[12:35] <minimec> kamalesh1: well somehow you are right. You first have to initiate the gesture by touching once with 2 fingers to 'indicate' the right-click. So it's not multitouch out of the box.
[12:35] <bazhang> bc81, debian packages dont belong in ubuntu, he can compile from source or look for a PPA
[12:35] <sacarlson> Guest54266:  did you hold down the left  shift key at boot,  without the shift key you won't see any menu,  you might try the startup-manager gui to change the delay time in grub2 to give you a better chance,  it will also display if win 7 is in the menu
[12:36] <GHH> jrib, Yeah but i can not find the wiki link for doc
[12:36] <jrib> GHH: and the other suggestions?
[12:36] <bazhang> GHH, for building your own plymouth theme?
[12:36] <GHH> bazhang, yeah
[12:36] <minimec> kamalesh1: But... easystroke allows you to use your computer in a complete different way.
[12:36] <bc81> BinLaden: you mean something like Lynx?
[12:36] <bazhang> GHH, not a simple enterprise better to do some reading first
[12:37] <jenia> jrib, bXi, I thought that the problem was with permissions, but couldn't figure out wher and why. Now that I look on permissions on working computer in comparison with the problemmatic computer, I see the difference, thanx. I don't completley understand permissions yet. I will change them to mach the good comp, and see what happens, thanx.
[12:37] <GHH> jrib, there is only readme file in /usr/shar/doc/plymouth
[12:37] <bazhang> BinLaden, did you have an ubuntu support question?
[12:37] <jrib> jenia: how did they get changed?  You changed them?
[12:37] <buntar> k
[12:37] <jrib> GHH: ... did you look at source packages for existing themes?
[12:37] <kamalesh1> minimec:  Yea i saw some blogs. Will try them, thanks for your help again :)
[12:37] <buntar> f
[12:38] <GHH> jrib, you mean synaptic?
[12:38] <sacarlson> Guest54266: the above  assumes you don't have a wubi ubuntu install
[12:38] <jrib> GHH: no
[12:38] <BinLaden> yes
[12:38] <bazhang> BinLaden, then ask it
[12:38] <rgb247> anyone can describe me how to compile a C program using GPP? what was the command?
[12:38] <minimec> kamalesh1: no problem. Give it a try ;9
[12:38] <rgb247> i remember something like: cpp file.c but it doesn't work
[12:38] <BinLaden> bazhang : But this is question with undertext ubuntu..
[12:38] <sdf> sdf
[12:38] <GHH> jrib, sorry then i did not understand this one
[12:38] <jrib> GHH: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Plymouth seems to have a lot of information
[12:39] <jrib> !source | GHH
[12:39] <buntar> d
[12:39] <bazhang> BinLaden, then #ubuntu-offtopic as its not an ubuntu support question
[12:39] <BinLaden> OK ok...
[12:39] <ivan_> hi
[12:39] <jenia> jrib, that's what I am trying to figure out. when I copied those files. they were from the extracted archive. I think I figured it out now. when I did cp, I set a parameter to preserve=all, and it probably preserved permissions from the extracted archive.
[12:39] <hzroot> When i log off I got AT API REGISTRY error. Can someone help me?
[12:39] <rgb247> anyone can help me? how can I compile a C program using GPP?
[12:39] <hzroot> what does this do?
[12:39] <rgb247> which was the syntax
[12:39] <hzroot> any knowledge?
[12:39] <jrib> rgb247: GPP?
[12:39] <opakavic> Gryllida: ping !
[12:40] <jrib> GHH: those blog posts seem to detail the process
[12:40] <opakavic> Gryllida: This is kingring
[12:40] <rgb247> jrib: probably I have forget the name of the compiler, but I remember for C++ was something like: cpp file.cpp
[12:40] <opakavic> Gryllida: Are you there?
[12:40] <GHH> jrib, yeah perhaps... thanks
[12:40] <rgb247> which are the syntax to compile a C app ?
[12:40] <jrib> rgb247: g++
[12:40] <jrib> rgb247: gcc file.c
[12:40] <rgb247> thanks you, it works
[12:40] <sacarlson> rgb247: I think it might be c++
[12:41] <rgb247> no, it's C
[12:41] <rgb247> I learn from a book written by K&R, I'm sure it's C
[12:41] <jenia> jrib, I just copied the folder structure over the root folder, because it matched the existing folder structure with preserve=all, but I thought at that time that only new objects will preserve permissions, but the existing folders will not be altered. I was wrong, and all this time I couldn't figure out what is happening.
[12:41] <sudo_zoel> any one can help me/
[12:42] <jrib> jenia: redo it and preserve permissions from the start
[12:42] <bc81> !anyone | sudo_zoel
[12:43] <aum> yelp program not working though i have reinstalled it...is there any other way to get it work...
[12:43] <aum> its giving segmentation fault...

[12:47] <addicted2088> uh, nope, still static
[12:47] <nightcrow> GHH: You just did ;-)
[12:47] <bc81> aum what system/distro/version
[12:47] <GHH> nightcrow, then more 2 question
[12:47] <nightcrow> hehehe, i was kidding buddy
[12:48] <aum> ubuntu 10.10
[12:48] <nightcrow> anything I can do to help?
[12:48] <GHH> jrib, My recovery mode and firefox is not working
[12:49] <link> ok, i posted an issue i have in the support section of the ubuntu forums about 4 days ago, yet no answer, can i post it here, maybe someone has an idea?
[12:50] <nightcrow> Can someone please tell me how to permanently configure my network interface as 1000/full
[12:50] <erUSUL> nightcrow: how are you configuring the interface? network manager?
[12:50] <rohitnikcool> i removed compiz config but the effects are still there. plz help
[12:50] <nightcrow> erUSUL: CLI

[12:51] <erUSUL> nightcrow: put a pre-up line with the call to ethtool to set the speed you want
[12:51] <nightcrow> erUSUL: there must be a more solid way than using ethtool
[12:51] <KM0201> !info msn-pecan
[12:51] <erUSUL> nightcrow: why is using ethtool not solid?
[12:51] <nightcrow> erUSUL: would the pre-up go before i add the ip lines?
[12:51] <pradeepchhetri> Can somebody please tell me a file where if i put my proxy settings then it will be applicable to all over my system ie i donot have to put proxy settings separately for terminal and gnome
[12:52] <nightcrow> erUSUL: i would rather have it configure as part of the OS than use an external tool.
[12:52] <erUSUL> nightcrow: i dunno if the order matters but put it the first
[12:52] <researcher1> pradeepchhetri: use Apply systemwide
[12:52] <adi_> My grub hasbeen messed up. In starting, I had windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04 .After that i installed Lubuntu 10.10 , my grub was ok till tahat time> After some updates in lubuntu I lost ubuntu and win7 from grub.Then i tried to reinstall the grub using "UBUNTU 10.04 USB" and using this link "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708" .now I am getting black screen while I try to boot
[12:52] <hrhrhr> what's the best way to get an 'image' backup or as close to as possible?
[12:53] <pradeepchhetri> where is the option to apply system-wide ?
[12:53] <buntar> k
[12:53] <nightcrow> erUSUL: so, iface eth0 inet static then the pre-up line and then my ips?
[12:53] <bc81> aum: same error with running gnome-help?
[12:53] <erUSUL> nightcrow: define part of the os ... you are aware that /etc/network/interfaces is simply a frontend that calls "ip" "ifconfig" "iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant" "route" and a bunch of other external tools for you ?
[12:53] <minimec> kamalesh1: Just played around with Ubuntu One. I published my .easystroke folder. http://ubuntuone.com/p/bSW/ Download and extract to your /home/yourname folder. You will have an .easystroke folder. Then start easystroke. It would give you my complete configuration.
[12:53] <nightcrow> erUSUL: yes, i am - but ethtool is a tool that i downloaded
[12:53] <nightcrow> i guess you have a point
[12:53] <pradeepchhetri> researcher1: where is the option to apply system-wide ?
[12:54] <aum> @bc81 yes...
[12:54] <kamalesh1> minimec: aah nice :D
[12:54] <minimec> kamalesh1: I use "right click" for initiation.
[12:54] <erUSUL> nightcrow: the ip gores in aline that begins "address yourip" then you need one for gateway and netmask etc ....
[12:54] <anodesni> pradeepchhetri, I think it's /etc/wgetrc
[12:54] <addicted2088> uh, where do I get the PCM setting for the sound hardware? that seems to be given as a solution on the net

[13:12] <link> i have no proxy

[13:12] <HeZ> ubuntu^^
[13:13] <link> bc81, i forgot to mention in the post that both routers have the same ISP
[13:13] <bc81> link: go to anonymouse and enter the address of the site you have trouble accessing http://anonymouse.org/
[13:14] <abhinav_singh1> i am using Ubuntu 10.04..i want to upgrade it to 10.10 ...so is there any need of system restore/backup ?
[13:14] <sacarlson> HeZ: maybe the security mode on the ssh-server is set to key only?  what error do you get when you attempt to connect?
[13:14] <link> nope,doesn't work
[13:14] <sipior> abhinav_singh1: there is *always* a need for system backup :-)
[13:15] <link> bc81, the thing is the page itself loads, but for example the youtube clip won't even start or load, and on the yahoo mail page, when i click on a mail message, it just loads forever and doesn't show it
[13:15] <fdsaseemslegit> sipior:  No there isn't.  Not always.
[13:15] <sipior> fdsaseemslegit: if he's asking, there is.
[13:15] <bc81> link, you use firefox?

[13:16] <RealKillaz> Hi there
[13:16] <Pici> B_Z: This isn't exactly the right channel for that, try ##C or ##C++
[13:16] <abhinav_singh1> hmmm...well i mostly have projects in my system and i have git  so no need to worry about projects...sipior :) how can i backup my system..is there system restore kind of thing in Ubuntu?
[13:16] <RealKillaz> I'm getting a No space left on device on my machine but this is not true
[13:16] <link> bc81, this issue appears in every browser i use: Firefox, Seamonkey, Chromium, and only from my home router
[13:17] <adi_> a
[13:17] <RealKillaz> df show all my devices are lower then 75%
[13:17] <link> bc81, the thing is i can't access my workplace router to find it's settings so i can copy them to my own router
[13:17] <link> and as i said, this only happens in ubuntu
[13:17] <ariqs> when I try to use edit via ssh I get: Warning: unknown mime-type for "test" -- using "application/octet-stream"
[13:17] <ariqs> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
[13:17] <sacarlson> HeZ: maybe the ssh-server side has some firewall settings that only allow certain ip or mask?   you could try look at the logs of the ssh-server side and maybe see attempted connects and reason why it didn't let it
[13:17] <ariqs> how do I correct this?
[13:17] <link> on windows both connections to both routers work without a problem
[13:17] <sipior> abhinav_singh1: not system restoration, exactly. not as part of the os proper. you can try partimage, tar, pax, amanda, or half a dozen others.
[13:18] <HeZ> it is a fresg gentoo install that i am trying to connect
[13:18] <HeZ> fresh**
[13:18] <Grav> Is there a way to boot to other system once on restart?
[13:18] <HeZ> i also cannot connect to my university labs, which i can from every other computer i have ever used
[13:18] <sacarlson> HeZ: I know nothing about gentoo and it's default settings,
[13:18] <HeZ> so i dont think it is a server issue
[13:19] <aum> @bc81, can you tell me the packages related to "yelp" so that i can reinstall it...
[13:19] <abhinav_singh1> Well I am new to ubuntu and i have no exp in upgrading the version..sipior
[13:19] <ariqs> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
[13:20] <link> bc81, so, any ideas?
[13:20] <coz_> abhinav_singh1,  which version are you running now?
[13:20] <sacarlson> HeZ: do you have another system hooked to the same connection this ubuntu is now connected that can connect to any of these systems?

[13:21] <coz_> Guest54266,   try the #grub  channel  they may be able to sort through this
[13:21] <coz_> abhinav_singh1,  and you want to upgrade to ?
[13:21] <coz_> abhinav_singh1,   10.10  ?

[13:22] <firefoxx> Is there anybody who can (and would like to) help me in ubuntu+oracle 10g-xe?
[13:22] <bc81> link: no clue at all...maybe try different dns servers?  edit your connections' IPv4 Settings, set it to Automatic (DHCP) Adresses Only, and add this to DNS servers: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 (those are google's)
[13:22] <coz_> Guest54266,  well where you type here  type    /join #grub   that should take you to the grub channle  if no one here can hlep
[13:22] <vikas> QUESTION: problem reconnecting gprs after disconnecting saying device busy????????????????????
[13:23] <coz_> abhinav_singh1,  one question... 10.04  is the LTS ,,, is there a reason you want to upgrade to maverick?
[13:23] <sacarlson> HeZ: I've never had any problems with ssh clients on ubuntu and never seen any one that's had any,  so must be some strange router problem like mtu or something like that?
[13:23] <HeZ> i have several other machines, running win7 or gentoo, all of those can make connections with each other and all of which can vnc and ssh into the ubuntu machine. The only problem is that ubuntu cannot make an outbound connection
[13:23] <ariqs> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream" <--- WHY?
[13:23] <HeZ> hmm weird
[13:23] <vikas> QUESTION: problem reconnecting gprs after disconnecting saying device busy???????????????????? CANNOT OPEN /dev/ttyACM0
[13:23] <sipior> vikas: probably "Error Code 101: Excessive question mark usage"
[13:24] <Guest54266> coz_:Oh Sorry went blank::::: :)
[13:24] <coz_> Guest54266,  no problem :)
[13:24] <link> bc81, the router is on dhcp
[13:24] <link> bc81, i will try the google dns thing
[13:24] <vikas> QUESTION: problem reconnecting gprs after disconnecting saying device busy? CANNOT OPEN /dev/ttyACM0	
[13:24] <sipior> vikas: does /dev/ttyACM0 in fact exist?
[13:24] <fdsaseemslegit> !patience
[13:25] <vikas> sipior: yes it exist.
[13:25] <aum> #java
[13:25] <sipior> vikas: and its permissions are?
[13:25] <vikas> sipior: last time i connected it
[13:25] <sacarlson> HeZ: well to be complete I guess we should see both ifconfig and route of this ubuntu,  beyond that I'm clueless
[13:25] <vikas> vikas: i don't kno anythiing about permissions
[13:26] <vikas> sipior: i don't kno anything about permissions
[13:26] <sipior> vikas: what does "ls -l /dev/ttyACM0" report?
[13:26] <vikas> wait
[13:26] <vikas> sipior:crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 2011-02-03 18:52 /dev/ttyACM0
[13:27] <link> bc81, tried the google dns think, no change
[13:27] <coz_> abhinav_singh1,  are you having problems with 10.04?
[13:27] <sipior> vikas: your user is part of the dialout group, i assume? you've used the link successfully?
[13:27] <bc81> link: bah i'm out of suggestions, sorry
[13:27] <minimec> vikas: Are you connection via a phone or via some gprs dongle? Is the device connected right now?
[13:27] <bc81> link: you hard-resetted the router, or soft?
[13:28] <HeZ> cool whats the easiest way to show you ifconfig and rout output?
[13:28] <vikas> minimec: its sonny ericsson k810i phone
[13:28] <link> bc81: i hard reseted it about 3 times, and soft reseted it 2 times
[13:28] <tev> How do I force apache to redirect to a www.*.* if say abc.*.* does not exist
[13:29] <minimec> vikas: phone is in modem mode? First connection was ok? Bug appeared after you unplugged/replugged the phone?
[13:29] <bc81> link: got any ip filtering software running (suck as moblock)
[13:29] <ariqs> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream" <--- WHY?
[13:29] <abhinav_singh1> coz_ no but i wanna have a look at 10.10
[13:29] <vikas> minimec: yes its in modem mode
[13:30] <link> no
[13:30] <schnuffle> tev: use Rewritecondition to check for the host you want to beredirected and then a Rewriterule to access the correct path on your server
[13:30] <minimec> vikas: When you first connected it. What happened? Was it available in the network-applet, or are you using some gnome-ppp dialup?
[13:30] <tev> Do I have to add it to every *.conf in sites-enabled?
[13:30] <bc81> link: you tested from an ubuntu live cd environment? (sorry for all the obvious questions)
[13:31] <sacarlson> HeZ: ifconfig | pastebinit ; sudo route | pastebinit
[13:31] <vikas> minimec:nope, i first edited wvdial.conf and then sudo wvdial
[13:31] <schnuffle> tev: Only to the virtualost that is in charge of the host you want redirected
[13:31] <link> bc81, that i didn't do, don't have one handy, but i will
[13:31] <rohitnikcool> i messed with the Compiz config and then the natural maximize and minimize effect does't come also Workspace switcher doesn't work.
[13:31] <tev> schnuffle mm k
[13:32] <link> bc81, thing is they both worked fine, until some ubuntu updates a few weeks back
[13:32] <link> after that, i started having trouble with my home router
[13:32] <bc81> link you wired or wireless @ home?
[13:32] <minimec> vikas: Shouldn't it be possible to use your device directly with the network-manager? The configuration is much simpler than wvdial or gnome-ppp. I would try that first...
[13:33] <link> bc81, both wireless
[13:33] <vikas> minimec: tried but not working
[13:34] <Guest54266> coz_: There is no one in that channel. Could you help? Im getting really annoyed with computers today :)
[13:34] <minimec> vikas: I am using a Huawei GPRS dongle like that. That is really simple and cool.
[13:34] <piglit> what is the open office #?
[13:34] <bc81> link: anyhow, maybe update your post with more details like all these things you tested, it might help get a faster reply :-)..i gotta go, so good luck i hope you figure it out!
[13:34] <bazhang> piglit, #openoffice.org
[13:34] <piglit> thanks!
[13:35] <link> bc81, thanks
[13:35] <vikas> minimec: yeah i have also used zte evdo,nokia 3g but problem is with sony ericsson

[13:36] <tev> schnuffle: mmm i think I needed to be clearer. I have dns for say abc.abc.com , 123.abc.com. Now I disabled abc.abc.com and reloaded apache but now everytime someone goes to abc.abc.com it goes to say xyz.abc.com

[13:38] <tev> now if I chmod 0000 say /var/www/abc.abc.com which is suppose to be disalbed, what is the point of writing to .htaccess in that directory
[13:38] <s1a4a> عربي ؟؟
[13:38] <jink> tev: #httpd
[13:39] <tev> jink: it's ubuntu specific since only ubuntu has all these funcky tools
[13:39] <jink> I know. :)
[13:39] <jink> tev: But still. ^__^
[13:39] <tev> s/funcky/funky/
[13:40] <claudiu_> Hello
[13:40] <tev> :P it's not defaulting to the first vhost ..
[13:40] <tev> and can't talk there
[13:40] <jink> Oh, not registered / identified?
[13:41] <minimec> vikas: That is strange. I never did that, but I just connected my SE w310 via USB in Modem Mode. 3G is available instantly.
[13:41] <kva> hello? anyone is able to help me with KMS and i915 problem on latest ubuntu?
[13:42] <tev> jink :P nope cause the Opers took all my usernames

[13:42] <snarkster> morning
[13:42] <tev> mmm oddly ubuntu changed my first vhost to something else besides www.
[13:42] <tev> grml
[13:42] <snarkster> I need to know if htere is a linux utility that will do low level format.
[13:43] <minimec> vikas: Maybe after you plugged it, you have to do an initial configuration "edit conections" in nm-applet.
[13:43] <snarkster> should i just use the dd command?
[13:44] <tev> snarkster: http://linuxgazette.net/issue37/tag/38.html
[13:44] <tev> basically yes
[13:44] <rohitnikcool> restore ubuntu 10.04 to factory settings
[13:44] <kva> dd if=/dev/random :-)
[13:44] <snarkster> dd if=/dev/urandom not random
[13:45] <tev> funny how "zeroing out your HD" is consider against the warranty
[13:46] <Guest54266> Hi Im having a problem with my dual boot. I have two hard disks, A 500 and 120 GB. Ubuntu 10.10 is installed on the 500 while windows 7 is on the 120. And when i start up it boots into ubuntu only. i tryed to reinstall Grub but it failed. What do i do can anyone help???	
[13:46] <tev> 500what?
[13:47] <g4tsu> Guest54266, whet is your error message ?
[13:48] <minimec> Guest54266: Start ubuntu and do 'sudo update-grub' in a console. It should see your Win install on the other HD. On the other hand, probably a reinstall does a update-grub too in the end...
[13:48] <Guest54266> tev: 500Gb hardisk sorry
[13:48] <tev> doesn't windows mbr require to be on the first HD and withint the first 80MB?
[13:49] <Guest54266>  mbr ??
[13:49] <Guest54266> Sorry?
[13:49] <Gnea> tev: the MBR is always within the first 512 bytes
[13:49] <rumpe1> Gnea, the first 440 bytes
[13:49] <Gnea> rumpe1: *WITHIN*
[13:49] <addicted2088> is this static sound problem always there in Ubuntu?
[13:50] <Guest54266> 	
[13:50] <Guest54266> tev: Sorry what isMBR??
[13:50] <minimec> Guest54266: MasterBootrecord
[13:50] <edbian> master boot record dog
[13:51] <HeZ> hey scarlson you still there?
[13:51] <Gnea> Guest54266: it's the part of the hard drive that acts as a translator between the system and the hard drive - it passes messages back and forth allowing the system to function
[13:52] <Guest54266> Gnea: Ya how do I fix it?
[13:52] <Bas> can anyone tell me how to disable standby?
[13:53] <Bas> my laptop seems to go to standby after 5 mins or so
[13:54] <bazhang> Bas, check in screensaver/power management settings
[13:54] <JohnRandom> good morning
[13:54] <minimec> JohnRandom: Depends on where you are living ;)
[13:55] <vikas> QUESTION: WHILE connecting gprs i am getting  Disconnecting at Thu Feb  3 19:23:36 2011
[13:55] <vikas> --> The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)
[13:55] <snarkster> freaking cold here.. 30
[13:55] <vikas> --> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
[13:55] <vikas> --> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd man pages for more information.
[13:55] <FloodBot2> vikas: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:55] <vikas> plz help
[13:55] <JohnRandom> quick question: I want to install mysql via a script, but apt keeps asking me (first) if I really want to install that Y/n and (second) for root password
[13:55] <JohnRandom> how would I provide the answer to those prompts in a script?
[13:55] <warlock_handler> hi guys... i am using a linksys wireless router.. and i am not getting regular wlan speeds while transferring files across my comps
[13:56] <JohnRandom> or should I ask #bash for that?
[13:56] <Asad> I am trying to setup a PPPoE DSL connection but it's not connecting (via the network applet). Where can i check the error log to see what's wrong?
[13:56] <warlock_handler> i have 2 ubuntu boxes and 1 win xp box
[13:56] <warlock_handler> facing the problem on win xp and on ubuntu... whats wrong with the wifi router?? .. any idea
[13:56] <minimec> vikas: I would try to unplug your phone, restart the computer, plug the phone, do a 'dmesg' in a console to see if the device was recognized. Then I would first retry a nm-applet configuration.
[13:56] <yata> JohnRandom, I guess you should use (with much caution) the --yes option to apt-get
[13:57] <vikas> minimec: ok
[13:58] <Bas> bazhang: my screensaver is disabled and my powermanagement also , im puzzled
[13:58] <JohnRandom> yata: it's a script for setting up fresh installed ubuntu servers, so I can more or less assume they are all in the same state
[13:58] <vikas> minimec: here is the result http://paste.ubuntu.com/561938/
[13:59] <yata> JohnRandom, I'm not sure I understand... do you mean you have no possibility to tweak it before launching the install ?
[13:59] <Guest54266> ?????????????? Have i been left to answer my own Questions
[13:59] <JohnRandom> yata: the main question was how I can provide an arbitrary number of answers for questions to come during installation ... using "echo answer | aptitude install ..." does only work for one answer
[13:59] <Guest54266> ????
[13:59] <bazhang> !grub2 | Guest54266 have a read
[14:00] <Bas> bazhang: screen goes blank in 5 mins , no screen saver and no powermanagement on
[14:00] <vikas> minimec: here is the result http://paste.ubuntu.com/561938/	
[14:00] <Guest54266> bazhang: I have read it and I have had no luck. So do you know anything??
[14:00] <sacarlson> HeZ: yes but I'm haveing a snack
[14:01] <minimec> vikas: I am looking at that right now...
[14:01] <yata> JohnRandom, ok, you don't want to always answer yes... that's a good idea, especially when you don't know the questions before :-) I don't know how to do it then ,sorry
[14:01] <bazhang> Guest54266, give the exact problems you encountered with that wiki; its quite comprehensive
[14:01] <JohnRandom> yata: thanks for your time anyway :)
[14:02] <Guest54266> bazhang: Hi Im having a problem with my dual boot. I have two hard disks, A 500 and 120 GB. Ubuntu 10.10 is installed on the 500 while windows 7 is on the 120. And when i start up it boots into ubuntu only. i tryed to reinstall Grub but it failed. Thats my problem>>>>
[14:02] <bazhang> Guest54266, please paste.ubuntu.com with the exact error messages and give us the url.
[14:03]  * yata is impressed by bazhang's patience :)
[14:03] <warlock_handler> anyone who can help me with a linksys wrt54g wifi router .... getting bad wlan transfer speeds
[14:03] <minimec> vikas: Seems to be recongnized, but could also be ttyACM1  http://paste.ubuntu.com/561948/
[14:04] <tev> Gnea: this is driving me mad
[14:04] <phaidros> is there a way to have a ubuntu live cd, bootable into virtualbox, where (important part!) one can write back to the install?
[14:04] <tev> -Gne
[14:04] <ubuntu_> all:can you help me
[14:05] <yata> JohnRandom, isn't that what you're looking for ? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html
[14:05] <phaidros> so, I fire up virtualbox, boot the thing and work with it (without installing) and changes are available?
[14:05] <AbhijiT> i cant figure out how to remove shadow of text in oo impress?
[14:05] <AbhijiT> help
[14:05] <bazhang> AbhijiT, #openoffice.org may help
[14:05] <AbhijiT> bazhang, yeah
[14:05] <phaidros> trying to figure that out, but it seems impossible because virtualbox cant boot of a virutal usb stick (where writing back would be easy) instead only as an iso, which is ro :/
[14:05] <Guest54266> 	
[14:05] <r000t_laptop> Ubuntu missed a great marketing opportunity
[14:05] <Guest54266> bazhang: It just said that It could not reinstall GRUB on dev/....   when i tryed . Thing is I did  afresh install of windows 7 and then ubuntu 10.10 and when it restarted it went into ubuntu. It did not have a boot menu at all/.
[14:05] <FloodBot2> Guest54266: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:06] <Nanoha> hi everybody!  Okay, still having problems booting.  Situation:  I removed my hard drive out of my old system, and put it in my new system.  New system sits on "Loading Operating System..."  I took out the hard drive from the new system amd put it back in my old system, and it boots just fine.  Do you think this is an Ubuntu problem or a motherboard problem?
[14:06] <r000t_laptop> Windows 7 had a 7 patty hamburger
[14:06] <pradeep> please how did you setup an in house mail server that would work on the intranet inbound and  work on the internet outbound too.
[14:06] <r000t_laptop> Ubuntu 10.10 needed a 10 patty hamburger at burger king
[14:06] <bazhang> Guest54266, you say that reinstalling grub failed, what was the error message
[14:06] <bazhang> r000t_laptop, stay on topic please
[14:06] <Guest54266> FloodBot2: What? flood??
[14:07] <YouKay> Hello guys
[14:07] <Guest54266> bazhang: This computer im using now to chat is the newly installed one.
[14:08] <bazhang> Guest54266, you say that installing grub failed, what was the error message
[14:08] <JohnRandom> yata: I'm not sure, but I'll have a look, thanks :)
[14:08] <tev> jink: how do I force a global rewrite? :/ it's odd Ubuntu does not do that when you a2dissite
[14:08] <yata> np
[14:08] <YouKay> Ubuntu's messaging menu doesn't show my name and photo, as it did previously on 10.04. I guess this is a permanent change, but is there a way to restore it?
[14:09] <jink> tev: RewriteRule is local to its scope.  If you have some defined in your server config (apache2.conf or similar) you need RewriteOptions Inherit in your virtualhost(s).
[14:09] <Guest54266> bazhang: Im not sure, It only failed when  I loaded into the CD and rescued a broken system and tryed that way..  It installed ok. but did not have a boot menu..
[14:10] <bazhang> Guest54266, then try again, and paste.ubuntu.com the relevant error messages
[14:10] <tev> jink :/ sigh kind of long winded. Thx
[14:10] <jink> mod_macro? :)
[14:11] <tev> just thought ubuntu would have covered that with all the funky a2 tools :P
[14:12] <firefoxx> I need some help. Is there anybody, who can help me now?
[14:12] <jink> tev: No, the a2 tools are just to enable disable things, and to keep mods virtualhosts separated in different files.  They don't actually do anything but create and remove symlinks.
[14:12] <Gwar_Trolle> Ok, anyone wanna help me setup internet connection sharing? I can't get it weking D: Basically, I need to be able to setup this: Nintendo DS ---USB Dongle--->My PC ---Wireless Card--->Router--->interwebs
[14:13] <sipior> firefoxx: easiest if you just ask your question directly to the channel.
[14:13] <tev> gawd.. it keeps changing the default vhost
[14:13] <tev> Anyone know how to force the default apaches Vhost in ubuntu
[14:13] <SoftarPaul> hello! I'm looking for a good email-notificator to check my hotmail and maybe my schoolmail. Any tips?
[14:13] <tev> everytime I enable another site, that becomes the default one.
[14:14] <panfist> my server has some nfs shares that are failing to mount on boot, is there any way to proceed booting anyway? it seems like it's just stuck
[14:14] <firefoxx> So, i have installed ubu 10.10 and tomcat6 (port: 8080), and oracle-xe (listener 1521, apex:8081)
[14:14] <firefoxx> and when i try to connect to apex, it doesn't work
[14:14] <firefoxx> there is no firewall
[14:15] <firefoxx> and the listener works correctly
[14:15] <sipior> firefoxx: it would be useful to know what you mean exactly by "doesn't work", including any attached error messages.
[14:15] <firefoxx> sipior, firefox says: cannot connect to ip-adress:8081/apex
[14:16] <Invader> My main PC has both an ATI and Nvidia Cards.  Is there an easy way to install the drivers with out conflict?
[14:16] <SoftarPaul> any good email-notificator?
[14:17] <bazhang> mail-notification SoftarPaul tried that?
[14:17] <sipior> firefoxx: can you connect directly to apex via telnet?
[14:17] <eivar> Hi!
[14:17] <SoftarPaul> bazhang: That's what I mean, lol. I've got one, but it just gives me error!
[14:18] <bazhang> SoftarPaul, that particular package?
[14:19] <SoftarPaul> bazhang: I've got mail-notification. But in another language then

[14:30] <eivar> hi
[14:31] <koskoz> I'm using virtualbox with 10.0.2.2 to access to my localhost, but that's really slow
[14:31] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:31] <koskoz> actually it's 10.0.2.2:3000 because I'm running ruby
[14:31] <koskoz> on firefox under ubuntu it's fast, but on IE under WinXP in VirtualBox that's way too slow
[14:32] <tekk> eivar and it worked?
[14:32] <tekk> koskoz, #virtualbox ?
[14:33] <koskoz> yeah thanks

[14:33] <dorgan> If i have a top snapshot from given point in time where our server had a load average of 5.00 is there a way to tell what was causing the load?

[14:39] <moi> hello
[14:39] <edoardo> ciao
[14:40] <llutz> BluesKaj: can you please be more vague than "wouldn't boot"
[14:41] <BluesKaj> llutz, ok it boots to bash prompt only
[14:41] <llutz> BluesKaj: "wouldn't boot" + "X totally broken" doesn't make sense to me. if it won't boot, how did you see broken X?
[14:42] <Grav1> Hi. I've set up remote deskto on ubuntu 10.10. How Can I connect to it now form 10.04?
[14:42] <llutz> BluesKaj: so it boots. any errors in xorg-logs?
[14:42] <Grav1> I've tried xrdp, but there are some errors.
[14:45] <BluesKaj> llutz, I didn't look , since the 2.6.35.22 kernel boots fine , so I settled for that . I'm just curious as to why a new kernel image that obviously doesn't work with the assigned graphics driver would install after an update.
[14:45] <llutz> BluesKaj: 1st thing to check if X won't start are the Xorg-logs. how do you expect to find the errors without?
[14:46] <Jimmey> I have installed ubuntu server on an old computer with a wireless NIC. The wireless NIC is working fine and has found my router (Essid "63"). How can I supply the passphrase to successfully connect?#

[15:30] <Uhrheber> Hi. Does anybody know of a console based bluetooth p2p chat application?
[15:30] <lee__> Uhrheber:  bluetooth??
[15:30] <pradeep> stefjuh, hmm the link you gave looks great but what you did was it the same thing i told i was trying to archive
[15:30] <Uhrheber> Yes.
[15:31] <brandon420> can anyone help me get the themes working right with cairo-dock?
[15:31] <dee01> hi everyone. i am returning with my /home problem. i have a partition (ntfs) and now i would like to change it to ext4. i got the new partition ready, but i cannot copy from the old to the new location properly. any hints?
[15:31] <Uhrheber> There are lots of bluetooth p2p chat programs available, but all are for Android or java. But I want one for the linux console.
[15:31] <stefjuh> pradeep: what exactly are you trying to achieve and what is limiting your options?
[15:31] <lee__> Uhrheber:  figured it wouldn't matter how you connected to the net... ah, i see
[15:32] <llutz> dee01: what error?
[15:32] <lee__> anyone here use tilda? is there a way to change the default monitor it shows on?

[15:33] <prakriti> whats the best way to encrypt a usb drive?   should i use truecrypt or does ubuntu have better tools now?
[15:33] <pradeep> stefjuh, can i PM you
[15:33] <Gwar_Trolle> So, I need help guys. I am trying to set a connection share like so:   Nintendo DS -----wlan1(wep)----->PC-----wlan0(wpa)----->router   but I cannot get it to work. :( I've tried firestarter, but it keeps saying wlan1 is not ready. Any suggestions?
[15:34] <fdsaseemslegit> !ICS | Gwar_Trolle
[15:35] <dee01> llutz: i used this manual: http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ and while copying it gave 'cannot open. no such file or directory' with every folder and file
[15:37] <dee01> llutz: to be more precise: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[15:37] <Uhrheber>  prakriti: Try truecrypt, and use an encrypted file cotainer. Encrypting the whole drive is more complicated and you may loose your data if anything goes wrong. Also a container file is easier to backup.
[15:37] <dee01> llutz: cpio: cannot make directory `/mnt/newhome//./dee01'
[15:37] <prakriti> Uhrheber, Disk Utility can encrypt partitions,  I'm trying with that way at the momen
[15:38] <Guest54266> dee01:

[15:40] <mew> hellllllllllo

[15:40] <Uhrheber>  prakriti: Encrypting a whole USB stick is dangerous, trust me. You can do this with a hard drive, but on a USB stick, a container file is safer and easier.
[15:40] <skurakai> Hi. Which file commander on ubuntu you prefer? I found twin commander but it doesnt work under Ubuntu 10.10

[16:03] <infantino> has anyone had any luck with them"?
[16:03] <lee__> webus:  depends on what you're converting and to what.  i'm still not savvy about how to properly encode things with ffmpeg, but it's definitely the right tool for the job
[16:03] <webus> i want improving the quality of the original video
[16:03] <popey> webus / lee__ it's possible to encode with no loss with ffmpeg, there is a --sameq parameter :)
[16:03] <lee__> webus:  you can never make the encoded version "better" than the original.. that'd require some sort of remastering
[16:03] <popey> webus: you can't make original better
[16:04] <erUSUL> !cn | tufu
[16:04] <lee__> popey:  --sameq .. good to know!

[16:08] <xangua> !root | JenniferB2
[16:09] <perlmonkey2> I just ran the latest update and gnome's color scheme is completely changed and the top bar is missing some of my widgets.
[16:09] <xangua> !gksu
[16:09] <xangua> JenniferB2: bad isea use sudo with a graphic app, use gksu
[16:09] <perlmonkey2> Anyone know what happened?
[16:09] <lee__> JenniferB2:  sudo -i
[16:09] <_Tristan> how can I stop ubuntu from using my harddrive periodically? I want it to spin up when I open it's folder and spin down after
[16:09] <JenniferB2> xangua: why can't I su then .. to enter root mode

[16:09] <lee__> JenniferB2:  you don't really want to login as root
[16:09] <JenniferB2> but is there a root password ?
[16:10] <JenniferB2> did I choose it ?
[16:10] <Zwei> JenniferB2: NO.
[16:10] <Zwei> Sorry for the caps
[16:10] <JenniferB2> hehe.. ok.. I was afraid I had lost it.. but I remember I used to be able to do su in earlier versions of ubuntu
[16:10] <Reapu> hello?
[16:10] <Reapu> where do I found my  launcher menu its not on the desktop screen?
[16:11] <perlmonkey2> man, what just happened. Now whenever I click on something, gnome clicks at me. Did no one test these updates?
[16:11] <JenniferB2> sudo -i works
[16:11] <minimec> infantino: Hmm... The dmesg error messages. Did you plug that adapter directly into the computer? Is the Port Replicator powered or does it get the power from the computer?
[16:11] <infantino> @minimec I plugged it directly into the computer...that wasn't what I was seeing in dmesg before, it had loaded the driver and was showing up in lsusb not sure why it is freaking out now
[16:11] <lee__> JenniferB2:  be careful, you can do a lot of damage if you mess up as root
[16:12] <Reapu> ive seen other ubuntu machines with this beautiful launch menu how do i get it i cant see it on my desktop
[16:12] <lee__> Reapu:  are you looking for a particular theme?
[16:12] <HalfMoon> JenniferB2: if you 'need' a root acct, you can set a password with sudo passwd.  the acct exists, but the passwd is set to null
[16:12] <minimec> infantino: So could you retsrt your machine and give me the correct outputs afterwards? You say you think that the device was recognized correctly?
[16:13] <james_ubuntu> JenniferB2: login as root not recommended, but if you really needs it sudo su - will take u there
[16:13] <schnuffle> JenniferB2: or just sudo -i
[16:13] <Reapu> lee,  i dont have a launcher menu at all i only have the Applications/Places/System menu
[16:13] <minimec> infantino: If yes, would it be recognized by xrander? What does the monitor configure tool say?
[16:14] <perlmonkey2> Anyone know if the latest updates change the gnome theme?
[16:14] <stefjuh> you happen to be thinking about the gui on netbook-version reapu?
[16:14] <Reapu> oh ye maybe
[16:14] <Reapu> btw, how do I access file manager ?
[16:14] <perlmonkey2> Or changes the top gnome panel?
[16:14] <lee__> perlmonkey2:  you can always change them back
[16:15] <setuid> Can someone help me configure gdm2 to *NOT* show the list of users at the initial login screen? How do I do that? gdmsetup doesn't have any options for this.
[16:15] <perlmonkey2> lee__: but why would an update change my theme?  kind of worrisome that something went wrong.
[16:15] <sushi_> I accidentally removed one files from nginx. I reinstalled it but I don't see that file even after reinstallation. Any idea why?
[16:15] <arbiter> I have an issue with my touchpad not unlocking when using my laptops touchpad lock function, anybody know anything that could help me?
[16:15] <rtdos> how do i set up my own nntp server? or where can i find info?

[16:19] <minimec> Reapu: All you need is installed. You just have to configure your pulseaudio server. Maybe install pavucontrol. What you need to create is a loopback device on pulseaudio and redirect the application using the micro and the musicplayer to that loopback device.
[16:20] <arbiter> gps23: could you explain the difference between apt-get purge and apt-get remove or is there none?

[16:21] <azertyu> hello
[16:21] <azertyu> hello there
[16:21] <ViN86> arbiter, Use purge instead of remove for anything that would be removed. An asterisk ("*") will be displayed next to packages which are scheduled to be purged. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Purge.
[16:21] <gps23> arbiter, remove doesn't delete configuration files, purge does

[16:22] <Reapu> minimec, where do I find my pulseaudio server exactly and how do I crreat such device?

[16:22] <Guest85284> Hi. I have problem with polish fonts. In some programs for example nautilus polish signs are replaced by "wtf signs" even thou they apear correctly in program menu. Any Idea how to fix this error? Sorry for spelling (spellcheck is off).
[16:23] <minimec> Reapu: Pulseaudio configuration can be done via console, with your Volume applet in the panel, or with pavucontrol for example. sudo apt-get install pavucontrol.
[16:24] <minimec> Reapu: Create loopback with 'pactl load-module module-loopback
[16:24] <jesusvaldez> hello
[16:24] <minimec> Reapu: -'

[16:26] <v0lksman> can anyone explain why my mic works in the sense I can hear myself in my speakers but Skype or anything that records audio for that matter doesn't hear the sound?
[16:26] <jesusvaldez> sorry forgot to mention that is hat i am doing
[16:26] <Datz> to enter dir /etc/cron.weekly one needs to set up root account?

[16:26] <minimec> Reapu: When configuring with GUI: caution to show 'all' devices! The GUI may filter the output.
[16:27] <Gwar_Trolle> hey guys. I am trying to use firestarter to setup a connection share (DS==wlan1==>PC==Wlan0==>Router) but it keeps saying wlan1 is not ready. I have looked at both the ubuntu wiki and firestarters page but I can't get it working. Anyone up to helping me? :'(
[16:28] <jesusvaldez> *** that is what i am doing ( installing from USB)
[16:28] <minimec> Reapu: install pavucontrol. It makes it easier.
[16:28] <Reapu> minimec, I dont really understand what  need to change or how to do it
[16:28] <minimec> Reapu: install pavucontrol. It makes it easier.
[16:28] <minimec> Reapu: first create a loopback in a console pactl load-module module-loopback
[16:29] <lewix> join #linux
[16:29] <minimec> Reapu: Then configure the loopback with pavucontrol.

[16:30] <shannonbrimer> hi can anyone help me out im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 and having problems when i get to the boot loader
[16:30] <Reapu> @ubuntu:~$ sudo pactl load-module module-loopbac
[16:30] <Reapu> Failure: Module initalization failed
[16:30] <rtdos> i'm getting this error when i install leafnode:   Leafnode must have a fully-qualified and globally unique domain name,   not just "G62".   Edit your /etc/hosts file to add a unique, fully qualified domain name.   "localhost.localdomain" or thereabouts will not work;   it's qualified, but not unique.
[16:30] <Gwar_Trolle> hey guys. I am trying to use firestarter to setup a connection share (DS==wlan1==>PC==Wlan0==>Router) but it keeps saying wlan1 is not ready. I have looked at both the ubuntu wiki and firestarters page but I can't get it working. Anyone up to helping me? :'(
[16:31] <shannonbrimer> anyone who knows about boot loading whisper me
[16:31] <v0lksman> oh joy...I guess I'm upgrading...fuuuuu
[16:32] <BluesKaj> v0lksman, open alsmixer in the terminal , make ctrls are turned up and unmuted (no M in the box)
[16:32] <minimec> Reapu: You don't need suso for pactl. Just do it as a user.
[16:33] <antihero> Hey, if I get a tar.gz from the net, is there some way I can install it as a package? IE compile it then have its files managed by apt?
[16:33] <stefjuh> rtdos: what output does "hostname" give on your system? anyway the instructions seem reasonably clera, set up a proper hostname :)
[16:33] <v0lksman> BluesKaj, yeah like I said I can hear my own voice coming through the mic and out the speakers (or get feedback)...but no app seems to record on that channel...I've tried front mic and back mic to no avail...even tried line in...really weird if you ask me
[16:33] <antihero> I can do the same with RPM IIRC.
[16:33] <xangua> !chekcinstall | antihero
[16:33] <antihero> !checkinstall
[16:33] <antihero> sweet!
[16:34] <antihero> perfect xangua, cheers
[16:34] <BluesKaj> !pm | shannonbrimer,
[16:34] <rtdos> stefjuh: hostname returns g62, i just plan on using g62 on my local intranet.
[16:35] <rtdos> stefjuh: here is my hosts file:   http://pastebin.com/yRvuYHMV
[16:35] <BluesKaj> v0lksman, dunno whether skype requires pulseaudio or not sometimes not dependeing on your setup, try it without PA . se if that works
[16:35] <stefjuh> im not sure if localhost counts as a FQDN
[16:36] <v0lksman> BluesKaj, Skype won't let me choose anything related to sound input...it's only options are Pulse...I think this is an issue with my chipset and the kernel...hence my upgrade groaning...don't have time for failure right now...hope its a smooth upgrade!
[16:36] <azertyu> hello
[16:37] <rtdos> stefjuh: so change localhost to g62?
[16:37] <azertyu> i can't remote access my HP bladesystem because of java
[16:37] <azertyu> what are the essentiel package to install for java ?
[16:37] <stefjuh> rtdos: all i can see is that leafnode demands a proper hostname, i dont know how you can circumvent that im afraid
[16:37] <BluesKaj> v0lksman, what are you upgrading to ?
[16:38] <v0lksman> 10.10
[16:38] <v0lksman> sry...on 10.04 right now
[16:38] <rtdos> thanks stefjuh. at least it's a start :-)

[16:46] <fdsaseemslegit> Gwar_Trolle, Did you also try to change the resolution in your xorg.conf?
[16:46] <antihero> Okay I'm using checkinstall. I compiled with --prefix=/opt and when I do dpkg -i nginx.. it doesn't show up in /opt/nginx

[16:49] <Linden940> the update wont finish and its locking up...once you restart it wont reboot.
[16:50] <fdsaseemslegit> Gwar_Trolle,  NintendoDS-------->wlan1(WEP)------->wireless router<-------------<wlan1(WEP)<-----------------PC  maybe
[16:50] <lee__> Linden940:  todays update just finished for me, 10.04, and didn't require reboot, so idk
[16:51] <rtdos> is there a way to find out all packages 'AND' commands i currently have installed (both desktop and text mode) ?
[16:51] <Gwar_Trolle> fdsaseemslegit: Not an option. I don't own the Router in this apartment and the guy who does wants WPA, which the Nintendo DS doesn't support

[16:52] <plectrum> Hi,
[16:52] <msshams> hi, i have a folder contain many folder and files. i want to change permission of all folders to 755 and all files to 644. how can i do that?
[16:52] <plectrum>  I want to add an ethernet printer to my network, but it is two rooms away from the wireless router.  But I do have a ubuntu box with ethernet and wireless next to the printer and lots of ideas
[16:53] <plectrum> msshams you need to us 'find' to find the folders and -exec to set their permissions that way
[16:53] <swart> msshams: you can do that with find and xargs. check the man pages
[16:53] <Anon7-2521> I have a 13" MacBook Pro 5,5 running Lucid and I'm having continuos swap crashes. I've already browsed through the apple help section
[16:54] <Steve973> my process list shows NetworkManager and /usr/sbin/modem-manager.  I don't believe that I need either of these since this is a server that's always wired to the network and since I don't use a modem.  It should be safe to disable that functionality, right?
[16:54] <rtdos> is there a way to find out all packages 'AND' commands i currently have installed (both desktop and text mode) ?
[16:54] <plectrum> Anon7 what do you mean swap crashes?
[16:54] <BluesKaj> plectrum, connect the printer to the ubuntu box as a network printer
[16:54] <lee__> rtdos:  software center
[16:55] <plectrum> BluesKaj well the printer has its own webserver in it and I want to use that
[16:55] <lee__> installed software
[16:55] <rtdos> lee_ i mean is there something i can pipe to a text file?
[16:55] <gpc> !clone | rtdos
[16:55] <lee__> rtdos:  not sure, but that takes care of the desktop part
[16:55] <BluesKaj> plectrum, what model printer ?
[16:55] <Anon7-2521> The computer will crash and say 'Not enough free swap"
[16:55] <remoteCTRL> i am mounting an nfs share via autofs (ldap) but it always belongs to root:root, and it's contents aren't there either, waht am i doing wrong?
[16:55] <plectrum> HP Laserjet 2840
[16:56] <plectrum> I can share networking, but then that sub-net see the whole network but b/c of the router(?) the whole network does not see the printer
[16:56] <rtdos> thanks, lee__

[16:58] <plectrum> Anon7 that is a very small swap partition
[16:58] <Anon7-2521> Yep
[16:58] <Virako> hello Edulix
[16:58] <edulix> Virako: what do you use ubuntu for?
[16:58] <plectrum> well I think that is the problem, that and the fact that whatever you are running eats up lots of memory
[16:59] <Anon7-2521> How can I increase my swap?
[16:59] <Virako> Edulix: I prefer Ubuntu that Window
[16:59] <BluesKaj> well plectrum if you must , but still think if you setup the printer as anetwork printer in ubuntu system settings/priner configuration, it will work for all machines

[17:14] <MarkAng> Hey fellows! Having trouble with making a bootable USB stick with Gparted and Ubuntu. Made them yesterday night using a locally installed copy of Gparted and Unetbootin, but my Windows XP computer won't recognize it as a bootable medium.
[17:14] <PowerTux> hi all, how to open login.live.com:443 on iptables and or squid ?
[17:14] <PowerTux> because hotmail doesn´t work.
[17:14] <PowerTux> the /var/log/squid/access.log:
[17:14] <PowerTux> TCP_MISS/200 8875 CONNECT login.live.com:443 lgsm DIRECT/65.54.165.169 -
[17:14] <FloodBot2> PowerTux: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:14] <MarkAng> What would I need to do?
[17:15] <stianhj> MarkAng, you can use dd instead.. Unetbootin (in my experience) doesn't always work
[17:15] <MarkAng> DD?
[17:16] <MarkAng> I'm a noob at making bootable usb sticks, so...
[17:16] <stianhj> MarkAng, gimmie a sec

[17:17] <ddilinger> i have a laptop with an 80G internal drive, i bought a 120G SSD to replace that drive, and am hoping to duplicate the data as easily as possible.  If i plug the old drive into my PC, make an image(with dd if=/dev/sdc ....), then dd that onto the new drive, is there a way to repartition and resize to expand and fit the drive without losing contents?
[17:17] <stianhj> MarkAng, you can do # sudo dd if=the_ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M , where X is the letter signifying your USB stick (Which you can see in GParted)
[17:17] <ubun> well... when i installed ubuntu1010 wireless worked, then same day i cant get wireless....
[17:18] <MarkAng> I'll give it a try. So do I just CTRL-C CTRL-V the command into the terminal?
[17:18] <MarkAng> Including the hashtag or without it?
[17:18] <ddilinger> without, the hashtag indicates the begining of a shell line
[17:18] <stianhj> MarkAng, without.. you have to change the X to your usb stick
[17:18] <k4g6> /exiy
[17:19] <stianhj> MarkAng, be careful and make sure you get the right letter or you will lose data
[17:19] <ionut> guys anyone knows a theme very simple with beautifull colours and light ?
[17:19] <stianhj> MarkAng, it's the same letter as in GParted, so for example /dev/sdc

[17:20] <grindhold> hi guys i have a question: how is the field called, that shows up in the upper right corner of the screen when e.g. a empathy buddy logs on, or a torrent has finished? I want to use it programatically through python, but i don't know anymore what word to search for
[17:20] <stianhj> is pretty cool.. there's also an advanced one
[17:20] <MarkAng> Thanks, and I will be careful. So my "X" would for instance be /dev/sdc1?
[17:20] <stianhj> MarkAng, without the 1
[17:21] <danileigh79> thx everybody, sorry, am new linux user
[17:21] <MarkAng> But wouldn't that just specify the kind of disk?
[17:21] <ionut> AbhijiT: where i can find it ?
[17:21] <stianhj> MarkAng, the 1 is the partition number, you want to write to the stick itself (not a partition on it)
[17:21] <MarkAng> Right. Okay.
[17:22] <stianhj> MarkAng, just leave it running.. you won't get any indication of how long it has left.. but it won't take that long
[17:22] <Asstyx> grindax, its notification-daemo, there are pyton bindings like pynotify for such things
[17:22] <MarkAng> Okay. I hate that kind of install, but I guess I'll just have to wait.
[17:23] <MarkAng> Thanks for the help, stianhj.
[17:23] <grindhold> Asstyx: thanks, going to search!
[17:23] <Ray_> Hello, I'm having a problem with Ubuntu. I did a minimal install and now every time I try and boot, it freezes; however, when I select to boot from the USB which I used to install Ubuntu, it boots just fine into my system. Can somebody please help me?
[17:23] <makulkar> hi all, my laptop is pointsec secured, meaning before boot options i get username/password query window. I want to install Ubuntu side by side with my windows. can  i do that with 10.04 disk?
[17:24] <stianhj> makulkar, yes
[17:24] <stianhj> makulkar, you'd just get to choose between windows and ubuntu after the bios password
[17:25] <ddilinger> i have a laptop with an 80G internal drive, i bought a 120G SSD to replace that drive, and am hoping to duplicate the data as easily as possible.  If i plug the old drive into my PC, make an image(with dd if=/dev/sdc ....), then dd that onto the new drive, is there a way to repartition and resize to expand and fit the drive without losing contents?
[17:25] <makulkar> stianhj, i heard before that the boot system screws up :)
[17:26] <DrGrov> Good evening
[17:26] <KC9SJQ> ddilinger: Afterwards, use the application gparted to resize and check the partitions
[17:26] <stianhj> makulkar, well if it's a BIOS password then it won't matter.. that happens before 'boot'
[17:26] <DrGrov> Having a minor problem at the moment. How can I burn a DVD so that I can play it in a normal DVD player? Does Brasero do this out of the box or do I need something else?
[17:26] <grindhold> Asstyx: works pretty easy! Thank you very much
[17:27] <makulkar> stianhj, its not BIOS password its a software called pointsec.. its kinda encrypts disk content or something
[17:27] <MarkAng> Oh, one more thing. Do I use this same command for the Gparted boot usb?
[17:27] <stianhj> makulkar, ah.. i misunderstood then
[17:27] <makulkar> stianhj, also is there a 64-bit image
[17:27] <stianhj> makulkar, maybe you could try wubi?
[17:28] <peposimo> hi to all!
[17:28] <ddilinger> KC9SJQ: gparted?  ok thanks will try
[17:28] <Kroun> I need somehelp!I can't use my Zcomax XI-325 Wireless card(PCMCIA) on laptop Thinkpad G-40 with Ubuntu 10.04!
[17:28] <stianhj> Kroun, try 10.10?
[17:29] <Kroun> Already
[17:29] <DrGrov> I have an personal .avi extended file that I would like to burn as a DVD so I can play it in my regular DVD player.
[17:29] <Kroun> Ubuntu didn't regconize!
[17:29] <DrGrov> Does Brasero fix this without any issues or do I need to go with k3b?
[17:29] <KC9SJQ> Howdy all, I'm having difficulty with my Asus 1015 netbook. I'm using it to serve an apt-mirror mirror via apache. During heavy accesses (saturating the 100MB connection), the networking sometimes fails, connection reset by peer on the server, bad header on the accessing client, and no network activity at all until my next reboot. I think I'm overflowing some kernel buffer. How to diagnose?
[17:30] <stianhj> DrGrov, don't you need to convert the .avi before burning?
[17:30] <KC9SJQ> Kroun: Insert the card, boot, and once on, check the hardware drivers option
[17:30] <peposimo> I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a 500GN hard drive with a windows 7 already installed and a free partition of 80GB for ubuntu. But the problem when I want to install ubuntu it shows that no operating system installed and shows hard drive as free space....
[17:30] <Kroun> KC9SJQ: didn't work!
[17:31] <Jeruvy> KC9SJQ: you could review dmesg | less
[17:31] <DrGrov> stianhj: No, I do not think I need to convert it.
[17:31] <KC9SJQ> Jeruvy: nothing in particular there
[17:31] <MarkAng> stianhj, do I use the same command for making the gparted disk bootable?
[17:31] <Error404NotFound> Do we need to have a swap space of 1.5xRAM for hibernate?
[17:31] <DrGrov> stianhj: I just hoped I could easily burn it with Brasero on a DVD so I can play it with a regular DVD player.
[17:31] <stianhj> MarkAng, you don't have to do anything other than that dd command.. no gparted, no unetbootin
[17:31] <DrGrov> stianhj: Is that possible or do I need to convert the .avi file?
[17:32] <MarkAng> Okay, just wondering. Thanks.
[17:32] <stianhj> DrGrov, if you want to burn a DVD video, i think you need to convert, yes
[17:32] <DrGrov> stianhj: Ok, which app do I need to use to convert it ?
[17:32] <stianhj> DrGrov, try WinFF (it's in the software center)
[17:33] <jd2320> hi, I'm new to linux and I need help changing my resolution
[17:33] <KC9SJQ> Jeruvy: Is there someway to maybe turn up the verbosity?
[17:33] <jd2320> Ubuntu doesn't recognise my native resolution
[17:33] <DrGrov> stianhj: Ok, will do that. Thanks
[17:33] <aeon-ltd> jd2320: install the appropriate drivers for your card
[17:33] <peposimo> Hi all! I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a 500GB hard drive with a windows 7 already installed and a free partition of 80GB for ubuntu. But the problem when I want to install ubuntu it shows that no operating system installed and shows hard drive as free space....
[17:33] <stianhj> DrGrov, there's also Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/)
[17:33] <jd2320> I think, I already have
[17:34] <jd2320> How do I get new nvidia drivers
[17:34] <Anon7-2521> jd2320: What kind of graphics card is it?
[17:34] <KC9SJQ> jd2320:  System->Preference->Monitor, does it let you change to soemthing right?
[17:34] <Jeruvy> KC9SJQ: I was thinking about that, but I'm not certain.
[17:34] <stianhj> peposimo, does it show the entire disk as free?
[17:34] <stianhj> peposimo, no partitions"
[17:34] <stianhj> ?
[17:34] <DrGrov> stianhj: I will try that WinFF first. I hope it does work. At least it has a GUI which helps.
[17:34] <KC9SJQ> Jeruvy: Thanks anyway
[17:34] <jd2320> Yeah, but my native resolution isn't there
[17:34] <jd2320> 1440x900
[17:34] <peposimo> stianhj: yes. as free space
[17:35] <jd2320> I've tried xrandr and everything
[17:35] <peposimo> tried with a 10.04 version and the same situation
[17:35] <stianhj> peposimo, hmm.. weird. haven't seen that before
[17:35] <stanman246> hi, i've had a 10.10 running. After a power failure i can't login again because of loads of errors (segmentation faults etc)... Can i recover my home partition?
[17:36] <dong> 1
[17:36] <stianhj> stanman246, you can boot from a livecd and mount the disks and see what's what.. and copy them to say a USB disk
[17:36] <jd2320> Hi, I can't set my native resolution (1440x900) on my pc. It doesn't come up on the nvidia software or the ubuntu software
[17:37] <vamgen> can any one help me please how do i bring maximise minimise and close buttions to the right side of the window
[17:37] <Fuchs> jd2320: probably because the edid is not correctly detected
[17:37] <Fuchs> jd2320: notebook or desktop pc?
[17:37] <DrGrov> stianhj: FFWin will work. Thanks for the help.
[17:37] <peposimo> stianhj, I did that with windows 7 on one hard drive and ubuntu installed on another hard drive. but at the moment I don't have free hard drives and tried to install on a free partition... and it doesn't seem an operation system installed
[17:37] <stianhj> DrGrov, np
[17:37] <llutz> !controls  | vamgen
[17:38] <jd2320> What'd you mean?
[17:38] <Fuchs> jd2320: that I would like you to answer my question so that I can fix your problem
[17:39] <Error404NotFound> Do we need to have a swap space of 1.5xRAM for hibernate?
[17:39] <danileigh79> lmao didn't relize closing terminal would kill xchat
[17:39] <jd2320> oh sorry, didnt see what you last wrote. I have a desktop
[17:39] <Fuchs> Error404NotFound: if you don't want to use a swapfile and tuxonice: yes
[17:39] <Kroun> It's me again!...I did reboot my laptop...check for new hardware drivers...I couldn't see Zcomax XI-325 Wireless card working!...
[17:39] <Fuchs> jd2320: what type of monitor, and how is it connected?
[17:40] <stianhj> peposimo, does it see any of the partitions?
[17:40] <jd2320> It's connected by VGA , just a normal monitor
[17:40] <vamgen> how do i compile the latest kernel on my ubuntu...i want to learn and in safe way
[17:40] <Error404NotFound> Fuchs: thanks, googling tuxonice
[17:40] <danileigh79> i crtd 7gb part and instlld ubunto9.10 nxt to WinXP, is there a way to make the ubuntu part bigger?
[17:40] <Fuchs> jd2320: because: the nvidia driver reads out valid resolutions from the monitor EDID. It can't read it if  1) the monitor doesn't provide it 2) the monitor provides a broken one  3) an adapter for the cable or a switch makes it impossible to transfer this data
[17:40] <jrib> !kernel | vamgen
[17:40] <Duga> vamgen: download source from, kernel.org and give it to /usr/src
[17:40] <antivirtel> Hello! How can I install my IBM T42 laptop's in built BlueTooth (and maybe Infrared) feature? In System > Settings > BlueTooth it shows, that I have no BT devices... what can I do?
[17:41] <Duga> vamgen: later tar -xzf and make menu, make bzImage
[17:41] <Fuchs> jd2320: please create a nvidia bug report as well  (sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh)  as well, so I can see whether this acutually is the problem (probably it is)
[17:41] <jd2320> okay.. one second
[17:41] <jd2320> just copy and paste into this?
[17:41] <danileigh79> anti, check to see if driver is restricted
[17:42] <Kroun> jd2320: copy paste into this --> http://goo.gl/ixcN9
[17:43] <Fuchs> jd2320: no
[17:43] <jd2320> ?
[17:43] <Fuchs> jd2320: do never paste into IRC
[17:43] <Kroun> jd2320: and then copy paste the link here
[17:43] <Fuchs> jd2320: use a pastebin service instead
[17:43] <jd2320> I'm sorry, I dont know what that is?
[17:44] <Pici> !paste
[17:45] <Error404NotFound> Fuchs: i know that i can create say 2G file using dd with /dev/zero and mkswap it, then mount it but how do i resume off that?
[17:45] <Fuchs> Error404NotFound: tux on ice supports swapfiles, but it is kind of tricky to install. I'd recommend you create a swap partition instead
[17:45] <jd2320> sorry, I ran the sudo but all that came where's the bug report?
[17:46] <Kroun> Zcomax XI-325 Wireless card didn't work on Ubuntu...!Anyway to enable it?
[17:46] <Error404NotFound> Fuchs: hmmm, leaving hibernation aside is there really a need for swap with 8G ram and usual work, may be couple of linux vms under vbox? i don't think so.
[17:46] <danileigh79> Kroun: check system>admin>hardware drivers
[17:47] <Fuchs> Error404NotFound: swap is always good since the OOM killer won't kick in as soon as RAM is full, e.g. by a process running amok
[17:47] <Fuchs> Error404NotFound: but there is no need for > 8 GB swap, no
[17:47] <Kroun> danileigh79: already,insert card while installing Ubunt-done.Reboot-done.ndiswrapper-done...Didn't work...
[17:47] <Error404NotFound> Fuchs: hmmm, i think i will live with swap file which i can create/mount when needed :)
[17:48] <Fuchs> jd2320: extract the file created and then upload the content of the text file to a pastebin service you just got links to
[17:48] <antihero> Hey, I'm trying to compile something with checkinstall but it doesn't seem to actually put anything anywhere
[17:48] <jd2320> How exactly?
[17:49] <antivirtel> Hello! How can I install my IBM T42 laptop's in built BlueTooth (and maybe Infrared) feature? In System > Settings > BlueTooth it shows, that I have no BT devices... what can I do?
[17:49] <antihero> jd2320: I'm running this script http://codepad.org/RkIx1lbH but nothing pops out at the end
[17:50] <antihero> jd2320: it says it puts things in their places and makes the directories in the log, but when I look they aren't there
[17:50] <antihero> jd2320: Anything look unusual here? http://codepad.org/rJZ3GFO2
[17:51] <Fuchs> jd2320: open your file manager, right click on the file, extract. Open the text file as you would open any text file, copy the content  (CTRL+A, CTRL+C), open a browser, go to the pastebin, paste the content, submit, give us the URL resulting
[17:51] <stianhj> antihero, why not just install nginx from the package manager?

[18:03] <Kroun> jenka: It maybe /dev/sda0
[18:03] <llutz> Kroun: /dev/sda    not 0
[18:04] <Kroun> llutz: ok,sorry,my mistake
[18:04] <antivirtel> llutz I have only to "hcitool dev", and this line only: "Devices: ". Other suggestions?
[18:05] <llutz> antivirtel: "sudo modprobe bluetooth"

[18:08] <rogelio> How to install and use Internet Explorer
[18:08] <jrib> antihero: 3 steps for you.  1) learn to rebuild a source package without modifications (see !source).  2) rebuild a package with modifications (same as (1), just make your modifications and build the package; good idea to increment version with « dch -i » and append something like "~antihero1" to the version as well as documenting your changes).  3) learn to upgrade the version of the software for a
[18:08] <jrib> package (see !packaging docs, there's an example of this on the wiki)

[18:10] <ChesterX> hey, I just installed ubuntu-netbook 10.10 . I would like to switch the clock from am/pm to 24h, but I can t seem to find the option for this. Can anyone tell me where it is hiding?
[18:11] <biopyte> jrib, ok thanks
[18:11] <jrib> ChesterX: that's determined by our locale
[18:11] <sipior> PowerTux: you might have a go with the "-M tcp" option to traceroute.
[18:11] <PowerTux> BluesKaj, Destination not reached
[18:11] <ChesterX> jrib, what do you mean by "our locale"?
[18:11] <jrib> ChesterX: that's determined by *your* locale
[18:12] <sipior> PowerTux: specify a port as needed with "-p". depends a bit on how your network access is set up, but you might have some luck there.
[18:12] <PowerTux> BluesKaj, my proxy is autenticated so, should i need to put user and password to run traceroute ?
[18:12] <evolone> whats up people
[18:14] <PowerTux> sipior  my proxy is autenticated so, should i need to pass user and password parameters to run traceroute ?
[18:14] <ChesterX> jrib, do you mean the time zone I chose? The thing is, in the option it is 19:14 but in the header there is written 7:14pm
[18:15] <jrib> ChesterX: no, I mean the locale :/
[18:15] <antihero> How do I edit dpkgs
[18:15] <sipior> PowerTux: good question. how do you normally authenticate?
[18:15] <jrib> antihero: see my last message to you...
[18:15] <jrib> ChesterX: for example, run: locale -k LC_TIME
[18:16] <PowerTux> sipior, in Firefox for example
[18:16] <hetii> Hello :)
[18:16] <sipior> PowerTux: best bet is to talk to the proxy admin, and see if you can work something out.
[18:16] <antihero> cheers
[18:16] <antihero> this could be useful to learn
[18:17] <PowerTux> sipior thanks
[18:17] <jrib> ChesterX: although google tells me: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1374734 so maybe you can try that instead of messing with your locale

[18:18] <antihero> jrib: Does this cover editing packages made by checkinstall?
[18:18] <antivirtel> llutz no other suggestions?
[18:18] <jrib> antihero: checkinstall sucks, don't use it for anything you care about at all
[18:18] <hetii> Is it possible somehow synchronized by ubuntu one ikons that i add to my panel ? if not how to add them my script ? i found that some off the activator are in file:///home/I/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers

[18:19] <antihero> jrib: Even if stuff is *only* available in source
[18:19] <hetii> but i`m not sure when system read them
[18:19] <antivirtel> ok, but thanks llutz
[18:19] <jrib> antihero: yes, checkinstall always sucks
[18:19] <antihero> jrib: so what do I do if something is only available as a source tarball? make a deb from scratch?
[18:19] <jrib> antihero: yes
[18:19] <antihero> jrib: And then repeat this every time the code is uploaded?
[18:20] <antihero> *updated
[18:20] <jrib> antihero: repeat what?  I told you to do 3 things earlier, if you took a few minutes to do them, you would not have this question :/
[18:20] <sipior> antihero: if you're looking for a nice way to keep track of software you're installing from source, in /usr/local/ say, have a look at GNU Stow.
[18:20] <antihero> jrib: Okay.
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> I was thinking i saw some other deb-helper type tools a few weekd ago but i rarely mess with them.
[18:21] <Linden940> i am trying to send files onto a ubs drive and its going very very slow....anyone have a clue as to why or how to fix it?
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> Linden940:  ive noticed that also at times. check 'dmesg' for any possible errors.
[18:21] <Linden940> it is all so taking up alot of the system cpu power
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> Linden940:  never noticed an actual fix. . some times its fast.. some times slow.
[18:22] <Linden940> where would i go 2 check that Dr_Willis ?
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> Hopeing it gets fixed in 11.04 (not tried it in there yet)
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> Linden940:   'dmesg' command May give some error/info messages
[18:22] <Linden940> Dr_Willis, its been slow for a few weeks now lol
[18:22] <Linden940> Dr_Willis, thats what i thought an alot of things came up....i will dig in that later lol

[18:23] <Dr_Willis> danileigh79:  the virtualbox docs mention how to do it.. they also give strong warnings that using it with a 'real' hard drive can cause data loss.
[18:24] <danileigh79> what's recommended to be able to access my WinXP data while in Ubuntu?
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> danileigh79:  you can easially mount the windows drive and access th actual 'data' on the drive
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g | danileigh79
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> danileigh79:  thats not the same as booting the HD in virtualbox
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> 2 radically differnt 'things'
[18:25] <GeorgeA> is there a way to turn off gnome-session warnings? like the: gnome-session lasted only 10 seconds, etc.
[18:25] <danileigh79> I'm trying to access itunes to sync iphone... best recommendation without switching back to WinXP partition?
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: you can read and write to NTFS from Ubuntu. Just mount the partition and you can manipulate and read the data
[18:25] <_yoda_> Hello all, sorry for what I am sure is a stupid question however can I upgrade an i386 install to x64 or do I have to start from scratch?
[18:25] <aeon-ltd> danileigh79: wine? but its not grear
[18:25] <aeon-ltd> *great
[18:25] <jrib> _yoda_: reinstall
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> GeorgeA:  i recall age3s ago the gdm configs had a timeout setting. but i think it changed with the change to the new gdm2 in the last 2 releases.
[18:26] <_yoda_> jrib: Cheers, that's what I thought.
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> !itunes
[18:26] <danileigh79> Wine 1.2 will not locate nor run itune... recommendations?
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> !players
[18:26] <GeorgeA> Dr_Willis, hmm... alright, i'll take a look
[18:26] <aeon-ltd> danileigh79: virtualbox?
[18:26] <brandon420> i just upgraded to 10.04 and my computer is being super slow..... ideas?
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: you will need virtualbox for itunes proper but rhythmnbox can transfer songs etc
[18:27] <tumii66> hey what the fuck happened, I installed fresh install of ubuntu 10.10, installed nvidia driver from the repos and now my resolution is 640x480? what the ****

[18:27] <Shay27> Hello, I am facing a problem with Phpmyadmin that's some tables shown blank page, i've found some post that someone suggest to adjust resources limit on the php.ini file? where i can find this file ?
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> tumii66:  run the nvidia settings tool and set up the monitor.
[18:27] <danileigh79> Rythmnbox did not recognize when iphone was plugged in? iphone settings maybe?
[18:27] <aeon-ltd> !resolution | tumii66
[18:27] <Krampus> is there a way to tell apt-get to download all the dependencies for a package, but not the actual package?
[18:27] <YankDownUnder> danileigh79, I've tried everything to get iTunes to run with wine/Crossover/PlayOnLinux - you name it - it just don't work, but you can run it in a VM - easiest and least of headaches.
[18:27] <tumii66> NVIDIA-settings doesn't have any settings to set up it higher than 640x480...
[18:27] <gpc> tumii66: System > Admin > Nvidia X settings

[18:29] <gpc> hope you figure it out
[18:29] <Linden940> danileigh79, buy a off brand one
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Linden940: i think it's fun but I like a challenge
[18:29] <tumii66> gpc: sry, but do you know any ideas why its doing this?

[18:31] <bigbang12> monk, after i did ctrl+alt+f7 it is hanged at checking battery state ....
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: you can use the closed source virtualbox and your windows cd to run itunes you will be running BOTH OSes at the same time so your PC may struggle if its a low to medium spec
[18:32] <Linden940> bigbang12, wait
[18:32] <bigbang12> monk, and not able to boot further
[18:32] <tumii66> that site is no use for me i don't understand since my xorg.conf doesn't have any strings like that page has
[18:32] <g_0_0> onebitxajax, try typing - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - in the terminal
[18:32] <danileigh79> thx actionparsnip
[18:33] <Linden940> bigbang12, can you reinstall 10.10 with out loseing any data? if so just try another install
[18:33] <monk> bigbang12, X sounds borked

[18:34] <v0lksman> trying to upgrade from lucid to maverick...get a TON of this in the apt.log and the upgrade fails...I'm sure this has to do with the changes I made to make the nVidia card work in Lucid...how can I remove my changes (without remembering exactly what I did)?
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: this slowness will only happen while the vbox is running. If you dualboot i'd use the windows side to manipulate the device but you will need to reboot.
[18:34] <brandon420> guys, how do i update to 10.10 from 10.04?
[18:34] <onebitxajax> g_0_0: now I am reinstalling nvidia drivers

[18:35] <jrib> v0lksman, brandon420: « update-manager -d » is not correct.  As ActionParsnip points out, that's for devel releases
[18:35] <monk> bigbang12, gfx wise

[18:38] <danileigh79> Linden940, Thx, I see that now, haven't used irc in over 10 yrs
[18:38] <jrib> brandon420: the page ubottu gave you, tells you that you need to change preferences so that update-manager does not look only for LTS releases.  Did you do that?
[18:38] <Linden940> aerofly5, go to the ubuntu software center...firefox is in there and is one click download and install
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: i advise you use the server method personally. Edit the text file stated or your OS will only upgrade if a

[18:39] <romistrub> is there any way to run ubuntu inside win7? easily? for an idiot?
[18:39] <aerofly5> Linden940: It's not firefox I need, it's fox
[18:39] <monk> bigbang12, and it started its crap when you installed nVidia?
[18:39] <jrib> romistrub: virtual box?
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: LTS is available. Then run the commands given

[18:39] <romistrub> jrib, I'm an idiot -- a virtual box sounds like something my poor-ass parents would buy me for christmas
[18:39] <v0lksman> ActionParsnip, weird...I did it and it wants to upgrade to 10.10...not doubting you just weird... :)
[18:39] <monk> bigbang12, apt-get remove nvidia from your machine

[18:41] <ConvolutedMusing> I seem unable to install Ubuntu on my new computer. When I boot from CD everything is fine where it shows the purple loading screen, until the point where I guess it would move to the CD's menu. Rather than showing the menu it shows a heavily distorted view of whatever I last on my screen (desktop, media player etc). Any idea what might be wrong and how I can fix it? ((Computer specs to come))
[18:41] <v0lksman> I'm getting those when trying to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04...any idea how to fix?
[18:42] <_jorde> Does anyone know how I can prevent ubuntu from using it's default graphics?
[18:42] <aerofly5> ubottu: No, it is a source pack that you have to download and compile yourself
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> ConvolutedMusing: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded?
[18:42] <_jorde> Because default uses old-style right now

[18:54] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, trying now.
[18:54] <ConvolutedMusing> Okay, so after doing a checksum on my ubuntu ISO, it doesn't match anything on the UbuntuHashes page. I'm guessing this means it is borked. Apart from re-downloading the ISO, is there anything I can do to fix it?
[18:54] <nabukadnezar43> hi how do i update java? (previously installed with apt-get)
[18:55] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, same problem
[18:55] <nabukadnezar43> i downloaded latest jdk from sun, but it just extract the bin to a folder
[18:55] <nabukadnezar43> how do i get ubuntu to see that?
[18:55] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: no idea then, sorry
[18:55] <zookalicious> ConvolutedMusing - No unfortunately. Check again to make sure it doesn't match any, if it doesn't you'll have to redownload (or order a CD)
[18:55] <brandon420> mmffferrrr
[18:55] <brandon420> grrrrr upgradesss
[18:56] <brandon420> i should have stayed at 9.04
[18:56] <_jorde> @nabukadnezar43, you can just apt-get update and then use apt-get upgrade to upgrade your packages
[18:56] <_jorde> should be in there
[18:56] <ConvolutedMusing> zookalicious: Okay. That kinda sucks, but thanks for the info.
[18:56] <nabukadnezar43> well it doesnt if newer version is not in the repositories
[18:56] <ubun> can you uninstall ubuntu.?
[18:56] <antihero> Sweet, all working nicely with stow
[18:56] <_jorde> in that case it won't no
[18:56] <jA_cOp> How can I change the grub background image with 10.10 netbook edition?
[18:57] <_jorde> what kind of file did you download?
[18:57] <jA_cOp> ?
[18:57] <zookalicious> ConvolutedMusing: Yeah I know, that happened to me once. But think about it this way, it's much better that you checked instead of having to deal with a bad installation due to the corrupted image.
[18:57] <theLE> hey. I'm having some problems getting ubuntu to install correctly. I'm trying to get it to run off of an external drive. the install goes fine but GRUB never shows when I boot the PC even though I have it set to boot from an external drive. any ideas?
[18:58] <ConvolutedMusing> zookalicious: In fact, I hate Firefox's search. Just realised the ISO does match the checksum. So, I guess I need to check the CD now.

[18:58] <JuJuBee> I installed 10.10 to a separate partition and I did not mount all devices during install.  Can I copy the lines in fstab to the new install to mount on startup now?
[18:58] <aerofly5> theLE: I have always had problems booting from external drives. If you find an answer, please let me know what it is
[18:58] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: it'a bin file
[18:59] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: when i do "sh filename" it just extracts a jdk folder
[18:59] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, did you set the executable bit on your .bin file?
[18:59] <zookalicious> ConvolutedMusing: Hmm, if you burn it with Brasero there should be an option to verify the image after it's burnt. Only takes an extra minute or two ussually
[18:59] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: you mean "chmod +x filename"?
[19:00] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43: you need to execute the binary file
[19:00] <Asstyx> nabukadnezar43, i would go with chmod a+x ./filename.bin
[19:01] <jake__> I am trying to find a program to create techno music  does any one know where i could get it? and i want one like fruity loops
[19:01] <jake__> just better
[19:01] <jake__> and a full edition
[19:01] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: it gives me command not found error
[19:01] <zookalicious> jake__ Audacity is worth a look. There's a lot more but I don't use them much
[19:01] <aerofly5> jake__: lmms, it's what I use. available from the software centre
[19:01] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: when i do sh .bin it extracts the content of the jdk
[19:02] <YankDownUnder> SooperLooper
[19:02] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, you did set the bit or not?
[19:02] <aerofly5> jake__: lmms is similar to fl
[19:02] <nabukadnezar43> yes i did with "sudo chmod a+x ...."
[19:02] <aerofly5> jake__: vut audacity is also worth a look
[19:02] <_jorde> (properties -> permissions -> Allow executing file as program)
[19:02] <_jorde> oh ok
[19:02] <nabukadnezar43> did that too
[19:02] <george_> hello friends! how can I share internet connection on kubuntu 10.10?
[19:02] <area51pilot> is there a good frontend for rsync?
[19:03] <theLE> zookalicious: I believe it does support booting from USB and I told it to install the bootloader on the external drive
[19:03] <theLE> aerofly5: will do
[19:03] <ubun> how can you uninstall ubuntu
[19:03] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43 checking what it does on mine
[19:03] <aeon-ltd> ubun: you don't uninstall, you just repartition and reinstall mbr to get the windows boot loader again
[19:03] <zookalicious> area51pilot: try Deja Dup or time drive or back in time
[19:03] <_jorde> ubun: depends on how you installed ubuntu
[19:03] <alx_> #blobstore
[19:04] <ubun> aeon-ltd: do i need the windows install disk?
[19:04] <jake__> where would i get Vut Audacity
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> ubun: wubi has a uninstaller/remove tool if you use that
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> ubun: how did you dual boot?
[19:04] <jake__> where would i get Audacity
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> !audacity | jake__
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> jake__: is it not in the repos?
[19:04] <aerofly5> jake__: sorry, I made a typo. But, instead of vut. audacity is also available from the software centre
[19:05] <zookalicious> theLE: someone else earlier stated that they have trouble with booting from external drives. I think if you a linux installation on the pc your booting off of you can run update grub with the external drive plugged in, boot up normally, and select the external drive from grub, but thats just a theory, I've never actually tried it and the theory only comes from the fact that I once ran update-grub with a drive in and it added the entries to it
[19:05] <george_> jake_: try ubuntu software center
[19:05] <jake__> its not in the ubuntu software center
[19:05] <Guest95557> goodevening
[19:05] <ubun> aeon-ltd: i did dual boot idk how ever it said to in the disk... (works fine, but seems like wireless on a labtop is almost impossible.) found alot of threads and different ways to fix it but nothing worked,,,
[19:06] <aerofly5> jake__: thats where I got it from
[19:06] <Guest95557> !list
[19:06] <YankDownUnder> If you want to CREATE music, not edit stuff, you should check out: SooperLooper, Rosegarden, Jokosher. Audacity is merely an editor.
[19:06] <Guest95557> !list
[19:06] <zookalicious> its "/list"
[19:06] <jake__> Is it a packaged thing?
[19:06] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, just ./jdk-6u23-linux-x64.bin
[19:07] <_jorde> if you're using the 64 bit one
[19:07] <Staticwave_ace> Hello all, I just installed ubuntu-server 10.10 on a gateway laptop with a Marvel 88E8038 ethernet card and there is something seriously wrong with the networking, can anyone assist?
[19:07] <aeon-ltd> ubun: no, how did you dual boot? the livecd or wubi?
[19:07] <jake__> Is it a package?
[19:07] <ubun> aeon-ltd: live cd
[19:08] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: it extract files, it does not update java jdk and jre
[19:08] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: sorry I would help but I'm in a lecture. Stick around though and ask again in a bit, someone might be able to help you then
[19:08] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: kk
[19:08] <nabukadnezar43> i have old files in usr/lib/jvm, tried to put it there, didnt take effect
[19:08] <nits_hunter> ~~ documentation
[19:09] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: also try giving a few more details. It will make it easier for us to help :)
[19:09] <nits_hunter> how do we get ubottu to find us stuff from its db...???
[19:09] <zookalicious> (like what is wrong specifically, what doesn't work, what does, what you're trying to do)
[19:09] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, when I do it it works fine for me
[19:10] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: well, networking "works" but there's serious packet loss and hangups
[19:10] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: ok try this one http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
[19:10] <jake__> Is Audacity a package?
[19:10] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers
[19:10] <YankDownUnder> jake__, Are you trying to edit audio, or create audio?
[19:10] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: click verify your version there, lets see if it's the latest
[19:11] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers
[19:11] <zookalicious> (ehhhhh.... I'm sort of still paying attention...but now I'm curious) Staticwave-ace: Are you using Samba or just accessing it via ssh?
[19:11] <jake__> Create techno songs/beats like deadmau5 and basehunter does
[19:11] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, what does it say when you do $ java -version
[19:11] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: this happens for all connections, ping, ssh, apt-get
[19:11] <_jorde> in the terminal?
[19:12] <YankDownUnder> jake__, Then, as I've said, Jokosher, Rosegarden, SooperLooper.
[19:12] <nabukadnezar43> 1.6.0_20 where it should be 1.6.0_23
[19:12] <zookalicious> Staticwave-ace: If it "works" with packet loss, it could be your hardware. Have you tested your cable / Gateway with other systems? Or are you certain it is exclusive to your ubuntu server?
[19:12] <jake__> where could i find them at?
[19:13] <YankDownUnder> jake__, They're in the repos.
[19:13] <jake__> Ok
[19:13] <zookalicious> jake__ Software Center
[19:13] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: the cable/configuration of the network is known good at that drop, and the laptop worked in windows
[19:14] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: hmm
[19:14] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?
[19:14] <jake__> Is the Rosegarden a package?
[19:14] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: what does yours say?
[19:14] <jrib> aerofly5: why are you not using the repositories?  What are you trying to accomplish?
[19:15] <nanu> #join
[19:15] <jake__> Is the Rosegarden a package?
[19:15] <thehumanerror> #join?
[19:15] <xangua>  !info rosegarden | jake__
[19:15] <YankDownUnder> jake__, I think that before you ask the question, you might google.
[19:15] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, mine's fine
[19:16] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: yeah mine is fine too except that it's an old version
[19:16] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: does "dmesg | grep eth1" turn anything up? (or eth0 or whatever your ethernet card is called)
[19:16] <SuperPaco69> I need tp make a NAT any good tutorial.. the ones I found in google are not that good
[19:16] <_jorde> so your java -version returns _20?
[19:16] <damasceno> Someone here knows how can i make a RAID 0+1?
[19:16] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: yeah
[19:16] <jake__> Yeah thats the correct one
[19:16] <area51pilot> how owuld I get a backup utility to sync with a directory mounted from a Windows share?
[19:17] <area51pilot> I dont get any options but local
[19:17] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: http://paste.ubuntu.com/562160/
[19:17] <_jorde> mm gimme a sec
[19:17] <thehumanerror> Hey there, I need to enable Adobe Air and Adobe Flash Plugin 10 in "Ubuntu Software Centre"
[19:17] <thehumanerror> I think it tries to add the repos
[19:17] <thehumanerror> but it doesn't work
[19:17] <Popelux> ciao
[19:17] <Popelux> !list
[19:17] <thehumanerror> maverick-partner is already there, I think
[19:18] <marioooosthegoos> where does ubuntu control of set the window manager>?
[19:18] <thehumanerror> when I click "Use  This Source" it flicks around but the "Install" option doesn't come up
[19:18] <jake__> Thank you!
[19:18] <xangua> thehumanerror: if you already enabled the partner repository: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer adobeair
[19:18] <thehumanerror> marioooosthegoos: I think that's manual
[19:19] <thehumanerror> xangua: Okay, thanks, so it's a bug in Software Center?
[19:19] <marioooosthegoos> actuall trying to put openbox on mint and it became unbootable
[19:19] <marioooosthegoos> wont go past the login
[19:20] <marioooosthegoos> well it boots jsut wont log in
[19:20] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: hmmm sorry, I would suggest "ifconfig eth0 up" but the networking does work to an extent... Unfortunately I don't see anything that jumps out to me. Also I have to leave to switch classes, but like I said, try asking in here again later, hopefully you'll find someone more knowledgeable than I. Good luck!
[19:20] <crickj> why has running 'sudo tasksel remove lamp-server' removed vlc media player?
[19:20] <thehumanerror> itsays unable to locate package flashplugin-installer
[19:21] <thehumanerror> crickj: Fun fact - you can do package tasks with Synaptic
[19:21] <thehumanerror> I found that out today
[19:21] <thehumanerror> crickj: No idea on your problem though
[19:22] <crickj> thehumanerror: I try to avoid Synaptic (worst searching function ever)
[19:22] <SuperPaco69> I need tp make a NAT any good tutorial.. the ones I found in google are not that good
[19:22] <Staticwave_ace> [5~[5~[6~[6~[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[5~OH[6~
[19:22] <Pici> Staticwave_ace: Are you done?
[19:22] <thehumanerror> crickj: it is sometimes lame, but when you get the hang of the fact that it's got three different ways of searching, as far as I can tell, it's not so bad
[19:22] <redsnorf> Hi all.  Does anybody have any idea how to get multimedia keys to affect all sound devices/cards?  Specifically I want the mute button on my keyboard to mute my speakers as well as my headset.  I'm on ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit.  Thanks in advance for any pointers.
[19:23] <crickj> thehumanerror: three different ways?
[19:23] <thehumanerror> crickj: Quick search, Search, and typing in the window
[19:23] <thehumanerror> yeah
[19:23] <crickj> oh
[19:23] <rtdos> dumb question: where are the standard *nix utility directories for running commands that are not build in, such as sh, bash, ping, etc. ?
[19:23] <crickj> anyway... I still don't know why removing the lamp-server removes vlc and libpulseaudio
[19:23] <rtdos> ...the execution directories?
[19:24] <thehumanerror> crickj: Different ones obey the scope of searches you've already done or how you've narrowed it down using the bar on the left, but I think Ctrl-F doesn't
[19:24] <Pici> rtdos: /bin/ usually.  Check your $PATH and `which ping` , for example.
[19:24] <Pici> rtdos: You also may want to take a look at the hier manpage: man hier
[19:25] <crickj> thehumanerror: thanks - I've only ever noticed the search box on the toolbar
[19:27] <thehumanerror> well try the other two
[19:27] <thehumanerror> when you click in the box and type
[19:27] <thehumanerror> that only searches the beginning of package names
[19:27] <thehumanerror> but if you know the name of the package, like vlc, or want to see all the different packages that start with vlc-
[19:27] <thehumanerror> then it's quite good to just click in the box and type
[19:27] <crickj> can you use 'grep'-like syntax? -i.e *vlc
[19:27] <blag> what is the default location where xulrunner install apps like standalone chatzilla?
[19:27] <thehumanerror> holeh shit
[19:27] <thehumanerror> I don't know
[19:27] <blag> thehumanerror: no swearing in this channel, please
[19:27] <thehumanerror> I don't use that kind of stuff, bit advanced
[19:27] <thehumanerror> sorry
[19:27] <thehumanerror> you a bot?
[19:27] <thehumanerror> if so, you're slow ;)
[19:27] <blag> thehumanerror: nope, not a bot
[19:27] <FloodBot1> thehumanerror: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:27] <blag> thehumanerror: thats a bot ;-)
[19:27] <thehumanerror> ooh, now I type too fast as well
[19:27] <thehumanerror> frackers
[19:27] <aerofly5> jrib: I'm a linux newbie, and I have no idea what you're talking about
[19:27] <thehumanerror> crickj: What I just told you about the tasksel like functionality in Synaptic
[19:27] <thehumanerror> I think you have to have tasksel installed, because I can't find it any more
[19:28] <thehumanerror> as I removed it after I found that feature!
[19:30] <Pici> thehumanerror: tasksel itself should be installed by default.
[19:30] <thehumanerror> It's not in Desktop
[19:30] <crickj> thehumanerror: tasksel was very useful for installing lamp-sever - not so good, it seems, for removing it
[19:30] <thehumanerror> at least, my fresh 10.10 amd64 box doesn't have it
[19:30] <thehumanerror> yeah
[19:30] <thehumanerror> you know
[19:30] <thehumanerror> you can look in /etc
[19:30] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, are you using openjdk or the sun-jdk?
[19:30] <thehumanerror> to see what the "tasks" do
[19:30] <FloodBot1> thehumanerror: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:30] <thehumanerror> that might help
[19:30] <_jorde> you can check it by running $ sudo update-alternatives --config java
[19:30] <Pici> thehumanerror: Hrm, you may be right about that.  Odd.
[19:30] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: openjdk
[19:30] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?
[19:30] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Quick question for you... Do you have a nVidia graphics card? If so, did you have any problems installing the 64-bit 10.10?
[19:30] <linxeh> is it possible to sudo to another user and run X applications successfully? how do I do it if so ?
[19:30] <_jorde> set it to the sun one if you want to use the latest one
[19:30] <thehumanerror> well I thought it was because Synaptic has that feature so it wasn't necessary - but now I think I've found that that feature's only available in Syn if you have installed the tasksel package
[19:30] <linxeh> eg, to sudo to bash as another user then run xterm, gedit or whatever from the command line ?
[19:30] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: how do i do that? if i knew i'd do that instead of asking here :)
[19:30] <_jorde> ok
[19:30] <thehumanerror> no, I just installed, and it worked fine, then I used Additional Drivers to install the nvidia package
[19:30] <thehumanerror> and it worked fine
[19:30] <_jorde> use the command I just said
[19:30] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?
[19:30] <OttifantSir> Is there a way to change where notifications pop up? I run 10.10 with AWN-trunk and Notification Daemon applet.
[19:31] <_jorde> and type in the number that's in front of the sun one
[19:31] <thehumanerror> although I do get flashes of colour sometimes, which is quite worrying
[19:31] <_jorde> so
[19:31] <_jorde> sudo update-alternatives --config java
[19:31] <_jorde> and in my case it's selection 2
[19:31] <_jorde> so I then type in 2
[19:31] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: well jorde the problem is the sun one is not showing there
[19:31] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Ah, okay. Just that I'm having problems even installing with my new computer.
[19:31] <thehumanerror> might be my card or the power requirements, I think my PSU might not have the maximum required current the card manf says it needs
[19:31] <_jorde> so it's not installed in the right place
[19:31] <thehumanerror> describe your problems
[19:31] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: where do i put it so that ubuntu can see it?
[19:31] <yitz_> How do I disable apparmor? I think it's preventing mysqld from binding it's listen port
[19:32] <_jorde> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin
[19:32] <Photocopy> okay
[19:32] <Photocopy> this is pretty simple
[19:32] <A_J> i had installed linux (ubuntu), and it was working fine.. then suddenl a failed install of opera.deb, caused the system to get all unstable.. Anyway, now whenever it boots.. after a bit of usage the screen freezes and mouse and kobo become unresponsive.. also a recent problem i'm getting is when i boot i don't get the bios, kinda odd.. although it comes back up after a few minutes of power
[19:32] <A_J> down.. very odd.. any clue what i broke, or what needs fixing
[19:32] <_jorde> but youc an just use
[19:32] <_jorde> apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre
[19:32] <Photocopy> I made this image to ask this question; is there any way I can possibly ever achieve this; http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5926/chromes.png
[19:32] <_jorde> and then update it with the files you downloaded
[19:33] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?
[19:34] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: When I try to install from boot CD, I get the purple loading page fine, no problems. Then, when it should show the CD's menu, I instead get some jumbled up image of whatever I last was doing before reboot (such as desktop mixed in with media player). It also becomes unresponsive, as in I tried pressing enter to see if anything happens, and it doesn't.
[19:34] <YankDownUnder> aerofly5, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302790
[19:34] <ftn> Hey there. Do you know of any front-end for festival?, please.
[19:34] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: I'm checked the md5sum of the ISO, which was fine, I'm now checking the CD to see if that is the problem.
[19:34] <thehumanerror> hm, well this mount sound silly, but you could check you... yeah
[19:35] <thehumanerror> you know how to mount the CD and do md5sum -c md5sums.txt
[19:35] <thehumanerror> it's slow :(
[19:35] <rtdos> thanks pici
[19:36] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Yeah, it just finished checking - checksum matches. So I'm not sure what the problem could be.
[19:36] <thehumanerror> crickj: Have a look at /usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc
[19:37] <yitz_> mysqld refuses to start up. It tells me "Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address". No, there's nothing else listening on the port. I checked with netstat and tried with various random ports
[19:37] <Photocopy> okay
[19:37] <Photocopy> fine
[19:37] <Photocopy> here's a seperate but also annoying issue
[19:37] <aerofly5> YankDownUnder: I tried the 'apt-get install sqlite' but it says that I already have the latest version. But the configure script for the source I'm trying to build says that it can't find a compatible installation
[19:37] <Photocopy> when i resize windows this semi-transparent box appears to display what the size will look like when i let go of the mouse
[19:37] <thehumanerror> crickj: So it installs apache2 and mysql-server
[19:37] <A_J> did any1 see my question
[19:37] <YankDownUnder> aerofly5, Have you tried reading the documentation from the installation? (/usr/share/doc/)
[19:37] <Photocopy> when i let go, a white border ends up "stuck" to my wallpaper and doesnt go away unless i cover it up with something
[19:37] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusing: So, have you used this hardware with Linux before?
[19:37] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: i tried both, apt-get command doesnt work as there's not any sun-java6-jdk package in the repos
[19:37] <Photocopy> by moving around the window a bit
[19:38] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusic: got any loose connections? What happens if you boot, say a Windows install CD or something else bootable you have lying around
[19:38] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: extracting folders to the bin didnt work as well but i am trying
[19:38] <nabukadnezar43> :)
[19:38] <OttifantSir> Is there a way to change where notifications pop up? I run 10.10 with AWN-trunk and Notification Daemon applet.
[19:38] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusic: you might have to use the alternate explorer
[19:38] <_jorde> ok
[19:38] <aerofly5> YankDownUnder: It comes with documentation? I'll have a look and get back to you
[19:38] <_jorde> can you move your jdk.bin file to the /usr/lib/jvm/
[19:39] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Well, I have ubuntu 10.04 installed at the moment (I'm on the hardware now), but it's on an addition - internal - HDD and was installed on my previous computer.
[19:39] <_jorde> and then ./jdk.bin
[19:39] <_jorde> it
[19:39] <cristian> /list
[19:39] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Shouldn't be any loose connections, also have no Windows boot disc.

[19:40] <Photocopy> okay
[19:40] <crickj> thehumanerror: have just looked at the list of packages using tasksel --task-packages.  no mention of vlc or pulseaudio
[19:40] <Photocopy> whatever
[19:40] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: I have, however, tried two different ISOs - I originally was going to stay 10.04 - and both do the exact same thing.
[19:40] <Photocopy> i'll figure it out myself. bye guys.
[19:40] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: i did that
[19:40] <ubun> does anyone know of a easy program to make your own website? (not one online)
[19:40] <_jorde> ok
[19:40] <_jorde> rename the directory to java-6-sun-1.6.0.23
[19:41] <thehumanerror> crickj: You'll have to follow the link
[19:41] <sveinse> I have this in my Makefile: What could be wrong?
[19:41] <sveinse> REVISION   := $(shell svnversion $(SOURCE_ROOT) | sed -e 's#:#_#' )
[19:41] <A_J> thehumanerror see my question please
[19:41] <sveinse> Makefile:30: *** unterminated call to function `shell': missing `)'.  Stop.
[19:41] <thehumanerror> although I can't imagine installing apache2 would  require VLC
[19:41] <thehumanerror> or mysql-server
[19:41] <thehumanerror> but check anyway
[19:41] <thehumanerror> A_J: let me just see, am talking to two others right now
[19:41] <A_J> kk
[19:42] <thehumanerror> ubun: There used to be this thing called Nvu that is for beginners
[19:42] <thehumanerror> ubun: And there's something called Bluefish or something, btu that might be more advanced
[19:42] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: i did that
[19:42] <aerofly5> YankDownUnder: no help... The configure script specifies that headers are required with your installation
[19:42] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: but still it doesnt show up in the alternatives
[19:42] <ConvolutedMusing> ubun: What sort of website?
[19:42] <ubun> thehumanerror: let me find it...
[19:43] <crickj> thehumanerror: it's not only vlc that's been unintalled - pulseaudio, mixx - and now I can't launch new applications in gnome, so I've no idea what important gnome service it's just stopped
[19:43] <ubun> convolutedMusing: for my store..
[19:43] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusing: Sorry chap, can't think of anything. You help ubun, I'll scroll up to A_J
[19:43] <yitz_> I'm tempted to just do a fullblown reinstall :S
[19:43] <A_J> ty
[19:43] <thehumanerror> crickj: Damn, sounds bad
[19:43] <Photocopy> k
[19:43] <Photocopy> fine
[19:44] <Photocopy> a third question; why does chrome clear my clipboard when i close it?
[19:44] <ConvolutedMusing> ubun: Do you have any web development experience? Also, are you wanting like an online shop element as well?
[19:44] <crickj> yes - I have checked - apache2 does _not_ depend on vlc media player!
[19:44] <thehumanerror> A_J: Basically I think your computer is broken
[19:44] <OttifantSir> ubun: I tried a few web-authoring programs a while back, and Bluefish was the best in my opinion
[19:44] <_jorde> mmm
[19:44] <thehumanerror> A_J: It's unlikely opera could cause your BIOS to not boot
[19:44] <A_J> what do u think is wrong ?
[19:44] <thehumanerror> I would try booting up with your installation CD as a Live CD and see if you can get on okay with that
[19:45] <OttifantSir> Is there a way to change where notifications pop up? I run 10.10 with AWN-trunk and Notification Daemon applet
[19:45] <Photocopy> why does chrome clear my clipboard when i close it?
[19:45] <blag> what is the default location where xulrunner install apps like standalone chatzilla?
[19:45] <thehumanerror> A_J: Well if it's an old computer, I would say maybe that it's a dry joint, heat stress, or dust, or all of the above
[19:45] <ubun> convolutedmusing: no experience, but am looking for a good beginer program then work up to something more advanced. im searching for bluefish and nvu
[19:45] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: The only thing I can think of for my problem is that it has something to do with the graphics card - first time I've had a dedicated graphics card as I'm not a gamer really.
[19:45] <thehumanerror> Photocopy: The question is, why is the clipboard so crap in Ubuntu
[19:45] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Thanks for helping though :)
[19:45] <A_J> it's a kinda old mobo, but barely used
[19:46] <Photocopy> thehumanerror; are you suggesting I ask that? I'm looking for answers, not more questions.
[19:46] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusic: Well, me too really, I've just recently installed a graphics card too
[19:46] <xangua> Photocopy: install a clipboard manager, parcellite is one
[19:46] <thehumanerror> Photocopy: No :)
[19:46] <peteypan> can i run windows media player on ubuntu?
[19:46] <thehumanerror> xangua: That's a stupid thing to have to do
[19:46] <ConvolutedMusing> ubun: Honestly, I would suggest you take a look at http://w3schools.com to get the basics down. If you use `sudo apt-get install bluefish` that will install bluefish from which you can try out the stuff it shows you on there.
[19:47] <ConvolutedMusing> ubun: Without the backticks, obviously :)
[19:47] <pylix> peteypan: why would you want to?
[19:47] <clubpenguinfan> peteypan: no it only supports windows (me thinks)
[19:47] <aerofly5> could someone help me? I have sqlite, but the configure script for the Goggles Music Manager source says: " Unable to find a compatible sqlite installation. Please make sure the correct version is installed including the header files.". WTF?!?! Please help
[19:47] <thehumanerror> Photocopy: I would test it out with a different browser, to make sure it works, then file a bug with Chrome, or reinstall or update Chrome, or try Chrome and Ubuntu on a fresh machine or VirtualMachine just to make sure it's not something weird in your comptuer
[19:47] <ubun> convolutedMusing: ill look at that now
[19:47] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, i'm not sure anymore can you try adding the repository for java and installing it through apt-get?
[19:48] <clubpenguinfan> quick question: i know its a rubbish question, but can i run club penguin on ubuntu?
[19:48] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: it is in the partners repos
[19:48] <thehumanerror> A_J: Well try some of that, and see how you get on
[19:48] <Photocopy> thehumanerror; this has been a long term problem for me. it didn't work back when i had mint and in previous installations of ubuntu, i'm only just adressing it now. it has never worked properly on any linux distro on any computer i have ever had.
[19:48] <_jorde> you don't want to use those?
[19:48] <nabukadnezar43> i will try to figure it out, thanks for your help anyways
[19:48] <_jorde> np, good luck
[19:48] <aerofly5> clubpenguinfan: If its a browser game, than yes, most definitely
[19:48] <Marchitos> how can i start unity2d in ubuntu natty alpha 2?
[19:48] <_jorde> I installed it through the repository so I didn't have any issues
[19:48] <madprof> I know that this is the wrong channel to ask but I have seen an os called 'BSD' just wondering whether this was any different to ubuntu?
[19:49] <clubpenguinfan> thx
[19:49] <A_J> kk thehumanerror checking for bad capacitiors
[19:49] <thehumanerror> madprof, are you trolling ;)
[19:49] <thehumanerror> A_J: Yeah, that could be it
[19:49] <aerofly5> could someone help me? I have sqlite, but the configure script for the Goggles Music Manager source says: " Unable to find a compatible sqlite installation. Please make sure the correct version is installed including the header files.". WTF?!?! Please help
[19:50] <gabeodess> Hi, can anyone help me setting my crontab permissions?  When I do "crontab -e" and then try to ":w" I get ""crontab.jaVjrX/crontab" E212: Can't open file for writing".  I can't figure how to fix the permissions...
[19:50] <Photocopy> okay
[19:50] <Photocopy> here's another issue
[19:50] <gabeodess> oh, I'm using vim btw
[19:50] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, if you can get it installed through the repo I can help you update it from .22 to .23
[19:51] <aerofly5> could someone help me? I have sqlite, but the configure script for the Goggles Music Manager source says: " Unable to find a compatible sqlite installation. Please make sure the correct version is installed including the header files.". WTF?!?! Please help
[19:51] <Photocopy> when i resize a window, a white square follows my cursor to indicate what the new size will be. when i let go, a 1px wide remnant of white encloses the window, until something passes over it, such as moving the window or doing a drag on the desktop. is there any way I can fix this?
[19:51] <jrib> gabeodess: well investigate why vim can't write to that file in /tmp/
[19:52] <madprof> humanerror: you expect me to answer that?
[19:52] <aerofly5> could someone help me? I have sqlite, but the configure script for the Goggles Music Manager source says: " Unable to find a compatible sqlite installation. Please make sure the correct version is installed including the header files.". WTF?!?! Please help
[19:52] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: so i will just copy the contents to sun-java6-jdk.16.0.22?

[19:54] <OttifantSir> Is there a way to change where notifications pop up? I run 10.10 with AWN-trunk and Notification Daemon applet
[19:54] <aerofly5> ubottu: ok, thanks for the links\
[19:55] <aerofly5> convoltedmusing: I'm not sure how to do that from a repository
[19:55] <gabeodess> jrib: I don't really know where to start... when I leave vim and try to ls the file it says it does not exist...

[19:55] <SuperPaco69> does any one has a knowlege on NAT?
[19:56] <jrib> gabeodess: so don't leave vim
[19:56] <thehumanerror> poutine: There is a way, apparently, but it's not really supported and I couldn't get it to work, and I had to back up /home and reinstall and copy it back in
[19:56] <thehumanerror> the way is using the alternate CD and running "cdromupgrade" off the CD
[19:56] <thehumanerror> you can upgrade to the same version, I *think*
[19:56] <thehumanerror> well that's the idea, but I couldn't get it to work
[19:57] <poutine> I'll see, I'll likely boot up a livecd and copy everything to a USB stick before attempting

[19:57] <ConvolutedMusing> aerofly5: If you go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager, and type sqlite into the search box in the toolbar, that will show you the version you have installed.
[19:57] <thehumanerror> poutine: Yes, very sensible.
[19:57] <poutine> thanks thehumanerror \
[19:57] <thehumanerror> poutine: Google for what I suggested, you're probably smarter than me!
[19:57] <chaos2358> anyone?
[19:58] <thehumanerror> and try... it. okay bye
[19:58] <gabeodess> jrib: okay, so the permissions on that file so super low, and it's owned by root... but how do I configure it so that when I open crontab it doesn't set the permissions like that?
[19:58] <jrib> !sudo | chaos2358
[19:58] <jrib> chaos2358: what are you trying to accomplish exactly?

[19:59] <chaos2358> jrib I am trying to move a png file into /etc/share/icons but because i dont have root i cant.......nvm it's nautilus. I've got a migrain and brain isn't functioning properly today
[19:59] <jrib> gabeodess: 1) what command did you execute exactly to edit your crontab? 2) as what user? 3) what ubuntu is this? 4) what was the output you got from ls -l /tmp/crontab.whatever?
[19:59] <jrib> chaos2358: why are you doing this?
[20:00] <OttifantSir> xangua: Thank you so much. Tired of having the notifications obscuring my screen.
[20:00] <aerofly5> convoltedmusing: Synaptic Package Manager doesn't even work for some reason... I am really confused right now
[20:00] <damian> Hello
[20:00] <chaos2358> jrib i am creating custom launchers for certain programs and i am adding custom icons.

[20:01] <Firartix> Hello!
[20:01] <chaos2358> jrib it's gk gk sudo nautilus though right?
[20:01] <jrib> chaos2358: gksudo nautilus  if you know what you are doing
[20:01] <spow> Hi, I'm trying to follow a step by step example to format a SD card but I think I failed, how can I erase everything I did to start all over again ?
[20:02] <jrib> gabeodess: that file should be owned by appone.  Are you sure you aren't in a root prompt?  Maybe with sudo somethingorother?
[20:02] <Firartix> What is the WiFi connection manager launching command? Will it work with other window managers? Can i add said command to .xinitrc to have it launched auto on session opening?
[20:02] <Sorinan> I just installed ubuntu, but I'm getting this error: modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-server/modules.dep
[20:02] <chaos2358> jrib i've used it before frequentlly but like i said i have a migrain so bad to day im wearing sunglasses at the computer. for anything more then adding icons i'd wait till i was functioning properly
[20:02] <Sorinan> any idea on why? I already tried running depmod and regenerating initrd
[20:02] <marky_> firartix wicd start
[20:03] <Firartix> okay thanks lot ! :D
[20:03] <gabeodess> jrib: pretty sure... appone@App1:~$ crontab -e      that's what I'm using.
[20:03] <Firartix> marky_: if I add that to the .xinitrc, it'll be launched auto, 'right ? would it get launched twice on the regular ubuntu window manager thingy :| ?
[20:03] <Sterist> i've been told for eons that  file fragmentation doesnt happen with ubuntu. but does free space fragmentation occur?
[20:04] <marky_> firartix i'm thinking of something else, excuse me, my mistake
[20:04] <jrib> gabeodess: does it happen with a different editor?
[20:04] <Firartix> oh, kk.
[20:04] <Firartix> ty anyway ^_^
[20:04] <marky_> firartix forgot i wasn't in backtrack..

[20:06] <Firartix> ok tyvm :D !
[20:06] <marky_> anyone know how I can make an window exe trusted? It might be dodgy hence i've booted into ubuntu for safety
[20:06] <gabeodess> jrib:http://pastie.org/1526053
[20:07] <aerofly5> convoltedmusing: just ran Synaptic Package Manager from bash and found that sqlite is way outdated... but apt-get won't update it because it says it has the latest version
[20:07] <jrib> gabeodess: use nano; or do you know emacs is installed?
[20:07] <marky_> found it
[20:08] <jrib> gabeodess: after you do that (I think issue will persist with nano), can you paste: ls -l $(which crontab)
[20:08] <hernan> hello
[20:08] <hernan> hola
[20:09] <gabeodess> jrib: -rw------- 1 root users 166 Feb  3 20:08 /tmp/crontab.IJ875F/crontab
[20:09] <marky_> Goodbye helpers :) keep up the good work, us noobs need you :)
[20:09] <jrib> gabeodess: are you saying the issue persisted with nano?  Can you paste: ls -l $(which crontab)
[20:10] <gabeodess> jrib: yeah, that was with nano
[20:10] <jrib> gabeodess: k (note I'm asking for a different ls -l)
[20:10] <gabeodess> jrib: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 29912 Aug  4  2006 /usr/bin/crontab
[20:11] <jrib> gabeodess: right, so those aren't right.  Do you know why that might be?
[20:11] <gabeodess> jrib: no idea, I was just dropped on this project.
[20:11] <Da|Mummy> how do i mount iso files in ubuntu, like i do with deamon tools in windows?
[20:11] <gabeodess> jrib: what should I change it to?
[20:12] <jrib> gabeodess: well you should find out why those permissions are wrong as it could mean someone did something dumb and there are more permission issues on the box.  Anyway, remove setuid and add setgid (-rwxr-sr-x is what my crontab has)
[20:12] <erUSUL> !iso | Da|Mummy
[20:12] <blackxored> Da|Mummy, right click open with archive mounter, or mount -t iso9660 -o loop <iso> <mountpoint>
[20:13] <gabeodess> jrib: :( I don't know what that means or how to do that...
[20:14] <BluesKaj> Da|Mummy,or : mount -t iso9660 myimage.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop
[20:15] <Da|Mummy> whats a good archive manager to use with a nice gui, apparently the ubunutu archive manager doesnt support those rar files that come in .001, .002, etc format
[20:15] <erUSUL> !rar | Da|Mummy
[20:16] <jrib> gabeodess: sudo chmod 2755 $(which crontab)
[20:16] <Da|Mummy> !info unrar-free
[20:17] <magnus_> hi. how can i manage which services should autostart with my ubuntu system? preferably a gui tool
[20:17]  * Da|Mummy loads winrar over wine
[20:17] <gabeodess> jrib: worked like a charm.  Thank you so much for your help :)
[20:18] <jrib> gabeodess: no problem, but that's most likely caused by user-error, so you should be careful about what else has been broken
[20:18] <gabeodess> jrib: will do.  Thanks for the advice.
[20:19] <pylix> how do you install xfce if you just have ubuntu10.10 with like the default gnome?
[20:19] <hilarie> Okay so I have a game that feels it needs to be updated, it tells me so... alot... from running it normally, it will download the update, but then err out, so I figure it needs some admin privilidges, when I run it with gksudo, it never opens, any idea's? the-powder-toy

[20:26] <KB1JWQ> trond-: I suggest you don't break it.

[20:27] <trond-> KB1JWQ, thanks :) except that... is there a rollback function when upgrading?

[20:27] <KB1JWQ> trond-: Nope.
[20:27] <KB1JWQ> Other than "restore from backups."

[20:27] <jaxop> ok
[20:28] <fdsaseemslegit> :)
[20:28] <rsd> A package messed all permissions.  If I reinstall every package will it rebuild the right permission?

[20:30] <g_0_0> magnus - you can edit rc.local in that case to stop or start services on startup
[20:30] <jA_cOp> In the 10.10 netbook edition I can't get the splash screen to appear when booting. The "quiet" option works as expected, but there's never a splash screen, with or without the "splash" option. How can I get the splash screen in the netbook edition?
[20:30] <jaxop> I recently setup a site at a new host with co.cc domain. I set it up this morning by registering the new domain at co.cc and it works already, two hours later, but it stops working for a while and then it starts working again... so it is basically inaccessible for period of time.

[20:31] <Codemonkey1991> Codemonkey1991 :3
[20:31] <Jibadeeha> you can edit /etc/init/mysql.conf
[20:31] <Codemonkey1991> gedas: I'm a web developer, sorry. I delve in PHP and Javascript :)
[20:31] <gedas> Comedymonkey1991: Okey, no problem :_)
[20:31] <gedas> Comedymonkey1991: Okey, no problem :)
[20:32] <trond-> gedas, you can use mono-develop and then you can code in c#... (and .net)
[20:32] <gedas> Is here any c++ programmers???
[20:33] <Jibadeeha> g_0_0, are you wanting to stop mysql from starting at boot time so you have control of when it starts up?
[20:33] <trond-> gedas, this is the one you use for developing GUI in Linux/Ubuntu: http://glade.gnome.org/

[20:33] <g_0_0> Jibadeeha, I think it's magnus who wants to start and stop services on startup
[20:33] <gedas> trond-: thx
[20:33] <Jibadeeha> ah sorry g_0_0
[20:34] <th_> i just installed openssh server and its working fine. but can i stop it starting at the bootup? so i could launch it only when needed
[20:34] <Pars> can you recommend a php editor? how is gPHPEdit? thanks..
[20:35] <trond-> Pars, Eclipse, Komodo and Netbeans
[20:36] <fluvvell> Pars, Eclipse is good , for a paid option there is zend studio.

[20:53] <OttifantSir> After a visit to WebUpd8 looking for a way to change notify-osd, I found that AWN doesn't really use it, instead the position of the notification bubbles are controlled by notification-daemon-applet and can be changed in Gconf. Now, is x,y of upper-left of screen 0,0? And lower-left (for me) 1440,900?
[20:54] <azidhaka> galamar: i think you should start with MOTU's wiki here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted and also hang in #ubuntu-motu
[20:54] <Pici> galamar: Also #ubuntu-packaging
[20:55] <galamar> thank you!!
[20:58] <OttifantSir> After a visit to WebUpd8 looking for a way to change notify-osd, I found that AWN doesn't really use it, instead the position of the notification bubbles are controlled by notification-daemon-applet and can be changed in Gconf. Now, is x,y of upper-left of screen 0,0? And lower-left (for me) 1440,900?
[20:58] <ubuntu_> ;o\
[20:59] <azidhaka> OttifantSir: well, you have a very well structured question. why don't you try both settings and see in which corner the notification appears? :)
[20:59] <azidhaka> it's usually the top left corner
[21:02] <OttifantSir> azidhaka: ATM the values for x,y are -1, meaning the notifications show up relative to the position of the applet on the AWN-bar. I thought about setting an arbitrary value to see, but it seemed like a decent next step to ask. I'll try your suggestion and come back and tell what I found out.
[21:03] <OttifantSir> azidhaka: Actually, I asked the wrong question. Which is x, and which is y? Is height or width x?
[21:04] <guntbert> OttifantSir: x is alway horizontal
[21:04] <guntbert> *always
[21:04] <azidhaka> well in math x is horzontal
[21:04] <DPx> can anyone recommend a good usenet/nzb client?
[21:04] <azidhaka> y|__x :)
[21:05] <OttifantSir> guntbert, DPx: Thank you. Now to fiddle with numbers....
[21:05] <azertyu> hello there
[21:05] <azertyu> someone enter on my ubuntu server
[21:05] <azertyu> vps server, can't able to ssh what to do ?
[21:05] <minimec> azertyu: shall we hack you ;)
[21:05] <LYoung> holy crap am I glad to be here...
[21:06] <guntbert> DPx: try pan
[21:06] <LYoung> I can't get build-essential installed properly
[21:06] <azidhaka> azertyu: someone broke in your server/
[21:06] <randy__> I'm trying to make an image of the OSX Snow Leopard install disk in Ubuntu but all Ubuntu can see is the Windows support files etc, how can I access the actual install files on this disk?
[21:06] <DPx> Thanks guntbert :)
[21:06] <azertyu> yes correct
[21:06] <azertyu> someone decode my password
[21:06] <LYoung> sudo apt-get install build-essential works, but it says it can't fetch certain items...
[21:07] <Pici> azertyu: Would a french support channel be more helpful for you?
[21:07] <azertyu> and take my root password
[21:07] <azidhaka> azertyu: well, the best course of action for me is to re-image the vps
[21:07] <guntbert> LYoung: can you !pastebin the error message?
[21:07] <azertyu> hi Pici  am i speak french ?
[21:08] <randy__> !pastebin
[21:08] <Pici> azertyu: No, you aren't.  And neither do I.  I just wanted  to let you know that #ubuntu-fr exists.
[21:08] <azertyu> absulatly not i can 't re-image my vps  i got lots of data
[21:08] <k89> hi... can anyone suggest a text editor as good as notepad++ but not as complex as emacs
[21:08] <azertyu> no i prefer here seriously don't force me plz
[21:08] <Bionova> Hello all
[21:09] <azidhaka> azertyu: no worries. data is valuable of course
[21:09] <pooky> k89 gnome-text-edit?
[21:09] <k89> hehe.. pooky , have you used notepad++
[21:09] <azertyu> why i got this : ssh: connect to host 88.X.X.X.X port 22: Connection refused
[21:09] <azidhaka> azertyu: does your hosting support password reset on the vps?
[21:09] <kelvinella> hi, does format and reinstall fix bad sector?
[21:10] <pooky> k89: no, I use vim :/
[21:10] <azertyu> good question but i don't know
[21:10] <Bionova> I just installed and updated latest backtrack, i have a problem here im trying to solve the maximun resolution right now is 1024x768 when my native resolution is 1680x1050 How to fix this?
[21:10] <pooky> k89: actually I did in the late 90's, but that was so long ago
[21:10] <azidhaka> azertyu: can you please check your control panel provided by the hosting company?
[21:11] <k89> i want something with equally good color scheme , tried geany, almost does it , but some stuff like javascript doesn't look too good
[21:11] <pooky> k89: but maybe if you said the features you need, a reasonable suggestion could be made. There are other options like netbeans and such.
[21:11] <LYoung> Bionova, I have a similar issue too... my res is locked to 640x480... but I'm using 100% pure command line
[21:11] <LYoung> <<< ubernoob too
[21:11] <pooky> k89: so it's not the editor that's bad, it's the syntax hilighting?
[21:11] <Bionova> Damn =)
[21:11] <jamescarr> how can I found out what process is running on port 8080?
[21:12] <k89> pooky ?  isn't syntax highlighting editors job
[21:12] <guntbert> !backtrack | Bionova
[21:12] <k89> i don't like ides, too heavy
[21:12] <azidhaka> k89: how about scintilla? http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEImage.html
[21:12] <Bionova> Thanks for help! Im not too familiar with mIRC either though.
[21:12] <LYoung> Right now I'm trying to figure out why my system is telling me "Failed to fetch cdrom"
[21:12] <k89> will try ... thnx
[21:12] <guntbert> jamescarr: lsof -i | grep 8080
[21:13] <pooky> k89: I suppose what I'm suggesting is to see if there's an updated syntax file or something. Give me a minute I'll google it up for you.
[21:13] <k89> k
[21:13] <k89> pooky : thnx
[21:13] <azidhaka> k89: scintilla is the editing component, scite is the editor
[21:14] <LYoung> guys can anyone help me here?
[21:14] <azidhaka> jamescarr: or 'netstat -nap | grep 8080"
[21:14] <k89> LYoung : ask
[21:15] <guntbert> LYoung: we did not see the error message, did you sen it to a pastebin?
[21:15] <guntbert> *send
[21:15] <LYoung> guntbert I can't copy paste :(
[21:15] <guntbert> !info pastebinit | LYoung
[21:15] <azidhaka> LYoung: maybe the CD-ROM source is present in /etc/apt/sources.list and uncommented?
[21:15] <azertyu> no i don't have such as option azidhaka
[21:16] <pooky> k89: seems a lot of people recommend using scite instead. I might add that you could run notepad++ under wine if it is truly the only thing you're comfortable with at this time.
[21:16] <azertyu> but  i can reboot on rescue mode, can i do something ?
[21:16] <newbieOne> help!
[21:16] <azidhaka> azertyu: not sure what this rescue mode does
[21:16] <azertyu> recovery mode
[21:17] <azidhaka> azertyu: if you can reboot back to normal mode without doing anything, i suggest you try it
[21:17] <jdimatteo> I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (as shown by /etc/issue), but the Gnome System -> About Ubuntu menu opens a window that says "You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011
[21:17] <jdimatteo> ^ what gives?
[21:17] <LYoung> long story short, I can't get build-essential installed,
[21:17] <k89> pooky : was checking out scite .. looks good, gonna try it
[21:17] <k89> thnx
[21:17] <azertyu> yes i can
[21:17] <LYoung> azidhaka : it's in there, but no commented
[21:17] <guntbert> jdimatteo: thats a known bug
[21:18] <pooky> k89: there's always cream :P
[21:18] <azidhaka> LYoung: comment the lines and do a aptitude update
[21:18] <azertyu> but i don't know how to change root password, once i boot from recovery mode  azidhaka
[21:18] <jdimatteo> gunbert: it is sort of hilarious that nobody has fixed this
[21:18] <pooky> k89: that oddly useful for some people cousin of vim
[21:18] <jdimatteo> gunbert: oh well, thanks for confirming it is a known bug
[21:18] <LYoung> azidhaka: did you see me mention I'm an ubernoob?
[21:18] <azidhaka> azertyu: i am sure that there will be some help in the recovery console, just make sure you do not re-image or delete anything from the recovery console
[21:18] <guntbert> jdimatteo: if I remember correctly it is fixed but not released
[21:19] <azidhaka> LYoung: not really :)
[21:19] <newbieOne> I had ubuntu 10.04...for some unexplained reason, when I tried to open it today, it didnt...I made a bootable flash with ubuntu 10.10....I started it ( I m talking through it now)...but I cant view the files on the hard drive

[21:19] <BlaDe^> can I list the directories in a tar without extracting it?
[21:20] <maco> newbieOne: by "i cant view the files on the hard drive" you mean the disk wont mount?
[21:20] <azidhaka> LYoung: click on System -> Administration -> Software sources
[21:20] <newbieOne> yes

[21:20] <maco> newbieOne: dead drive
[21:20] <spow> Hi, is there a way to manually fix the DVD drive rotating speed ?
[21:20] <newbieOne> it says DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending
[21:20] <jsec> paq7512, recordmydesktop
[21:20] <LYoung> dunno why it doesn't come installed by default
[21:21] <ubun_> when i run lshw -C network
[21:21] <LYoung> also wouldn't be having half as much hassles if I had a gui to work with...
[21:21] <ubun_> it says wireless unclaimed
[21:21] <guntbert> !tab | LYoung :-)
[21:21] <azidhaka> LYoung: i will guide you
[21:21] <LYoung> thanks :)
[21:21] <newbieOne> maco man? dead drive, for sure?
[21:21] <spow> because it's rotating at full speed during movies and it generates a lot of noise
[21:22] <azidhaka> LYoung: do you know how to use a console editor? like vi, nano, pico, etc...
[21:22] <LYoung> not at the moment, but I learn pretty quick
[21:22] <maco> newbieOne: hmm ok given the dbus thing then not so sure. try mounting it manually, nto double clicking
[21:22] <maco> newbieOne: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt      or something similar
[21:22] <newbieOne> same result
[21:22] <ubun_> my wireless adapter says its unclaimed... what do i do?
[21:22] <newbieOne> a, ok, let me try it
[21:23] <maco> newbieOne: you can try install smartmontools to get smartctl and run a diagnostic
[21:23] <azidhaka> LYoung: in the terminal type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:23] <azidhaka> LYoung: type your password and the editor will open the file

[21:25] <k89> Paste here what you see
[21:25] <OttifantSir> Update for my notification problem: AWN uses awn-notification-daemon-applet in GConf->apps. Changed override_x to 1420 and override_y to 1. Now, the bubbles show up in the upper right portion of my screen. Not QUITE where I want them, all the way to the right, but better than it was, aka lower-left.
[21:25] <k89> SoftarPaul : Paste here what you see

[21:28] <minimec> lee__: Well the flash-plugin is 'sucking' --> pulseaudio still plays the flash-plugin sound, even if firefox is shiut down.
[21:28] <istok> HakanBondesson, you have to do: sudo passwd root
[21:28] <istok> enter sudo pass, then new root pass
[21:28] <azidhaka> HakanBondesson: probably there is no root password. try user: ubuntu, password: ubuntu
[21:28] <k89> SoftarPaul : type cd /var , then ls -al | grep www  and press enter, if you did an apt get install of apache, thats where your document root is
[21:29] <VCoolio> tomatto_: tomboy?
[21:29] <newbieOne> how can I see the files on a computer, when booting it from a flash?
[21:29] <LYoung> is manually mounting things like thumb drives a regular necessity?
[21:29] <HakanBondesson> ok, I will try that
[21:29] <azidhaka> LYoung: not for a long time
[21:29] <tomatto_> VCoolio: i will check it
[21:29] <k89> SoftarPaul : "ls -al | grep www" will show you the file permissions of www
[21:29] <vurst> tomatto_: xpostit

[21:36] <dug1> if I do the following module update will my internet connection drop or does this only effect the ethernet adaptor at boot (rmmod e1000 && sudo modprobe e1000 TxDescriptors=128 RxDescriptors=128)
[21:36] <SoftarPaul> k89: That's what I wrote?
[21:36] <rtdos> thx azidhaka / lestat
[21:37] <k89> SoftarPaul : If you are like i was 3 weeks ago, then, don't add any quotes
[21:37] <SoftarPaul> k89: I didn't use quotes.
[21:37] <k89> azidhaka: that users think isn't reqd i think, i never needed it
[21:37] <k89> what are u getting
[21:37] <k89> SoftarPaul
[21:38] <azidhaka> k89: i do it just in case...
[21:38] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka: when I do that, it's trying to change owner of www...
[21:38] <LYoung> oooooh libc6-i686 is broken
[21:38] <k89> SoftarPaul: thats what you need, so that you have read-write -execute permission on www
[21:38] <azm> HI, how do I remove package which is not in repos in synaptic please?
[21:39] <SoftarPaul> but it says "Operation not allowed"...
[21:39] <azm> in kdebi there is just reinstall option
[21:39] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: sudo chown -R simon www
[21:39] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka: No result with that
[21:39] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: this will execute the command as root
[21:40] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: what do you need to do really?
[21:40] <k89> SoftarPaul : what do you get when you type ls -al | grep www
[21:40] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka: I want to write in my www-directory
[21:40] <SoftarPaul> right now, I can't
[21:40] <GeekMan> how do you apt get install adobe flash
[21:40] <k89> sudo chown simon www
[21:41] <seanp2k> does anyone know if bug #259145 ever got fixed?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/259145
[21:41] <k89> try without the _R
[21:41] <YankDownUnder> apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree
[21:41] <seanp2k> it has to do with a system being able to boot with only one functional drive in a software RAID 1 array using 'md'
[21:41] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: hold on a minute
[21:41] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: have you "cd /var/www' by now?
[21:41] <k89> SoftarPaul : try without the -R
[21:42] <LYoung> azidhaka: got an error with lucid-updates/main libc6-i686 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8 ... connection failed, is this going to be a problem? it said earlier libc6-i686 was broken
[21:42] <k89> SoftarPaul : sudo chown simon www
[21:42] <SoftarPaul> k89: No result
[21:42] <azidhaka> k89: he is in the directory already. in /var/www there is no another www, so the correct command must be: sudo chown -R simon .
[21:42] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: notice the dot at the end
[21:42] <saymoo> hi
[21:42] <RedXIII> How do I mount /dev/sda4 to a folder?
[21:43] <RedXIII> I have a partition on my drive I want to open, and I'm currently running off livecd
[21:43] <azidhaka> RedXIII: what filesystem is there/
[21:43] <YankDownUnder> mount /dev/sda4 /nameoffolder
[21:43] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka cd /var now
[21:43] <RedXIII> azidhaka: I have no clue
[21:43] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: oh
[21:44] <RedXIII> Its got the diag flag
[21:44] <RedXIII> Is that the diagnostics tool folder?
[21:44] <RedXIII> It shows ntfs
[21:44] <OttifantSir> RedXIII: sudo mount /dev/sda4 -t (filesystem, eg ext2/3/4 or nfs) /path/to/folder
[21:44] <k89> SoftarPaul: can you post again what do you get on "ls -al | grep www"
[21:45] <RedXIII> OttifantSir: thanks
[21:45] <OttifantSir> RedXIII: Directories made running a LiveCD aren't persistent, so I suggest: sudo mkdir /media/sda4 or another, more descriptive name.
[21:45] <SoftarPaul> k89: drwxr-xr-x  2 simon root  4096 2011-01-27 14:39 www
[21:45] <jeffwheeler> I'm a bit confused about what of GNOME 3 natty is adopting. Are we getting the new control center, etc. (e.g. the stuff in the gnome3-team/gnome3 PPA), or are we sticking with the current versions for now?
[21:45] <RedXIII> Its alright. I just got this new laptop so I wanted to know whats on each partition and if its safe to delete
[21:46] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: please run this: sudo chown -R simon:users /var/www
[21:46] <k89> SoftarPaul: you must be able to write in the directory now
[21:46] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: and show us the output
[21:46] <RedXIII> This partition has a "diag" flag and takes up 30gigs disk space. Is it necessary for the diagnostics tools?
[21:46] <k89> azidhaka : he is the owner already
[21:46] <jeffwheeler> This is the PPA I'm talking about: https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3
[21:46] <jeffwheeler> Is that stuff going to be adopted in natty?
[21:46] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka: sudo: /var/lib/sudo owned by uid 1000, should be uid 0
[21:47] <rww> jeffwheeler: #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion and support. #ubuntu is for already-released versions of Ubuntu.
[21:47] <RedXIII> I haven't gotten a new laptop in around 7 years so I don't know what they like to stick on the disks nowadays
[21:47] <jeffwheeler> rww: going now, thanks
[21:47] <k89> SoftarPaul : You are the owner of that directory, try creating a file in it
[21:47] <Jibadeeha> i was looking at gnome 3 shell the other day and it is looking really good .. think this will give unity a run for it's money ... love competition
[21:47] <azidhaka> LYoung: connection was reset when package was downloading. Run "sudo aptitude install build-essential" again until it finishes successfully
[21:47] <k89> azidhaka : drwxr-xr-x  2 simon root  4096 2011-01-27 14:39 www
[21:48] <k89> it must be because chown doesn't give any notification,
[21:48] <k89> he didn't notice
[21:48] <brunner> Can someone explain what this means? Jan 31 02:16:01 dev01 su[3360]: Successful su for nobody by root
[21:48] <brunner> from auth.log
[21:48] <SoftarPaul> k89: should I create a file in etc/www?

[21:48] <k89> SoftarPaul : Yes

[21:49] <azidhaka> brunner: some program is dropping privileges probably
[21:49] <k89> SoftarPaul : your document root is /var/www
[21:49] <k89> SoftarPaul : Try creating a file in it, you are its owner
[21:49] <brunner> azertyu, can you explain?
[21:49] <finken> I will install InDesign CS 4 on this Ubuntu-computer. How you recommend? Virtualbox?
[21:49] <BluesKaj> what's the gdm app responsible for "desktop effects" ?
[21:49] <azertyu> yes
[21:49] <brunner> azertyu, does that mean that nobody became root, or that root became nobody?
[21:49] <LYoung> VirtualBox is working ok here
[21:50] <azidhaka> azertyu: that was probably for me
[21:50] <SoftarPaul> k89: I can write in the index.html! Thanks a lot!
[21:50] <k89> SoftarPaul : can you do it
[21:50] <azidhaka> brunner: root became nobody
[21:50] <SoftarPaul> k89: Yes!
[21:50] <k89> SoftarPaul : your welcome , read this http://www.corantodemo.net/doc/chmod-doc.shtml
[21:50] <rtdos> how do i clean out or reset my printer cache? i have a file that is just sitting there and when i right click on the file and select cancel it won't let me cancel.

[21:50] <k89> SoftarPaul : as soon as you can
[21:50] <BluesKaj> !desktop-effects
[21:50] <SoftarPaul> Now to my next question, hehe. How to show the localhost to others. Like http://myip:80
[21:51] <azidhaka> LYoung: have you succeeded installing the compiler collection?
[21:51] <LYoung> still busy azidhaka

[21:52] <finken> Lyoung: You drive InDesign CS 4?
[21:52] <aadem> are there any standard terminal/console complete reference guides that are well known freeware?
[21:52] <azertyu> np
[21:52] <LYoung> oh lol, thought you meant running ubuntu
[21:53] <littlepenguin> hi what is causing in ubuntu ssdp requests?
[21:54] <Yugnoswam> Hello, how do I change the firmware on my hard drive from 3.AAE to NTFS. Or even just wipe it completely for a fresh install?
[21:54] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: originating from the machine running ubuntu?
[21:54] <GeekMan>  apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree didnt work
[21:54] <littlepenguin> yes azidhaka
[21:54] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: do you have Skype running?
[21:55] <SoftarPaul> how to make my apache-server public?
[21:55] <littlepenguin> azidhaka: no nothing..i have checked ff it is not the cause..i have not started any applicatrion
[21:55] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: Are you behind NAT or something?
[21:55] <littlepenguin> i havealso removed libssdp but they still occur
[21:55] <tacotron> hi all.. i have a question about the Bamboo Pen tablet. Im using ubuntu 10.10.. just installed the dkms package so it would work on my system. problem is, the tablet is taking in input without the pen touching the tablet! like.. ill be above the tablet maybe about an inch or so and its processing input.. can i adjust that?
[21:56] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: What's NAT?
[21:56] <littlepenguin> network adress translation
[21:56] <littlepenguin> no
[21:56] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: ssdp is usually associated with upnp
[21:56] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: I'm on a router, so I guess so
[21:57] <GeekMan> also how do you update iced tea plugin
[21:57] <littlepenguin> how to check if upnp is causing this? netstat does not show any open thing
[21:57] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: Set up a port forward.
[21:57] <Yugnoswam> Hello, how do I change the firmware on my hard drive from 3.AAE to NTFS. Or even just wipe it completely for a fresh install?
[21:57] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: Is that all?
[21:58] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: Possibly!
[21:58] <SuperPaco69> how can I add a user to an existing group??
[21:58] <Jordan_U> Yugnoswam: The firmware?
[21:58] <lee__> useradd
[21:58] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: I haven't set any port in apache. Is 80 default-settings or where can I change it?
[21:58] <civixier> Say I want to write a shell script that makes me cd into a directory and then list the files in there directly after. Then the first row in the shell script should contain cd and the second row should contain ls. But what do I write after cd to make it go to the folder i type after the name of the shell script? If the shell scripts name is cdls, and I type cdls /home/bleh, what do I write after cd to make it go to /home/bleh?
[21:58] <Yugnoswam> Jordan_U: Yeah, like NTFS
[21:58] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: 80 should be the default, yes.
[21:58] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: do you have some kind of media server or streamer running?
[21:59] <Jordan_U> Yugnoswam: The word you want is "filesystem".
[21:59] <geirha> SuperPaco69: If you mean from the terminal,  sudo adduser username groupname
[21:59] <LYoung> azidhaka: what happens if my connection dies before the install is complete?
[21:59] <littlepenguin> no azidhaka ..an apache server is running..also postgresql
[21:59] <Yugnoswam> Jordan_U: ahh ok, it says firmware on the disk utility here. How can I change it from 3.AAE to NTFS?
[21:59] <malloc_> hi, i have an problem with a erased cd-rw. When i try to mount it with "-t iso9660" it says "wrong fs type". How is it possible to mount it so that i can erase/format it again?
[21:59] <geirha> civixier: cd "$@" && ls
[22:00] <littlepenguin> wait maybe avahi daemon
[22:00] <Jordan_U> Yugnoswam: You can use GParted. But if you're going to just do a fresh install then let the installer format the drive.
[22:00] <Jordan_U> Yugnoswam: Screenshot?
[22:00] <civixier> geirha: ah, thanks :)
[22:00] <azidhaka> LYoung: when downloading, nothing. you need to restart the download. when installing also absolutely nothing :)
[22:00] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | Yugnoswam
[22:00] <geirha> civixier: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16106/how-can-i-create-an-alias-for-cd-and-ls
[22:00] <miguel> hey
[22:00] <lee__> import is nicer, imho
[22:00] <lee__> import foo.png
[22:00] <rednammoc> hi. i modified a file by accident. It was 2 MB and now it's something 2.8 KB. Is there any chance in getting this data back ?
[22:00] <LYoung> ah the problem would be restarting the download... I'm on a limited data cap at the moment
[22:01] <Yugnoswam> Jordan_U: I tried a fresh install (Windows 7) but it just came up that the system has to be on NTFS and it wouldnt let me format it from there. GParted won't let me create a partition either
[22:01] <Guest46224> do I have a simple way to save all my iptables config so as for having it loaded on the next reboots ?
[22:01] <civixier> geirha: ah awesome. I tried to google first, but I didnt get to that page :)
[22:01] <Yugnoswam> Jordan_U: check private
[22:01] <azidhaka> Guest15028: that would be iptables-save and iptables-restore
[22:02] <SoftarPaul> what's the command for ip-check?
[22:02] <littlepenguin> avahi demon is it not..still ssdp requests
[22:02] <rednammoc> shouldn't be the requested data right behind the current file ?
[22:02] <SoftarPaul> want to check my ip. what's the command?
[22:02] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: can you please send me in private query the output of "ps ax"
[22:02] <littlepenguin> aux?
[22:02] <littlepenguin> or ax?
[22:03] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: ax will do it
[22:03] <rednammoc> please :) this file is really important for me
[22:03] <littlepenguin> 1 mom azidhaka
[22:04] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: maybe you should use pastebin, i don't know what the limits for flood are
[22:04] <LYoung> azidhaka: I'm running ubuntu on VirtualBox, do you know if setting up file sharing between ubuntu and my host OS needs to be done in VirtualBox, or in ubuntu?
[22:04] <jhl> Why does the irc user have a login shell other than /bin/false?
[22:04] <Dazzled> Hi, what's the alternative to editing the bash.bashrc to edit the $PATH?
[22:05] <rednammoc> hi guys. is there any way to get the data behind a file ?
[22:05] <Dazzled> now I can only load certain apps from my terminal, other applications can't see them (and it seems to be related to the path)
[22:05] <Mindkontrol> Hello everyone
[22:05] <Mindkontrol> Is anyone familiar with using socat?
[22:06] <azidhaka> LYoung: i would use a simple Samba sharing
[22:06] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: TCP/UDP?
[22:06] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: HTTP uses TCP.
[22:06] <magicianlord> is 11.04 ready for installation basically?
[22:06] <Mindkontrol> Is anyone familiar with using socat?
[22:07] <splashote> hi, "/" is full. how do i free space?
[22:07] <zookalicious> magicianlord - its in Alpha 2 as of today
[22:07] <zookalicious> magicianlord - I would not advise installing it unless you want to do testing
[22:07] <magicianlord> should i dl it and put it on a netbook, zookalicious ?
[22:07] <rww> magicianlord: Natty discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1. #ubuntu is for already-released versions of Ubuntu.
[22:07] <magicianlord> oh right
[22:07] <zookalicious> magicianlord - go with 10.10
[22:07] <magicianlord> i am on 10.10. tired of it atm
[22:08] <azidhaka> Dazzled: you can globally set a path in /etc/profile
[22:08] <Mindkontrol> lol
[22:08] <zookalicious> you could dual boot
[22:08] <Crell> Is there a list of which codenames correspond to which release numbers? I have a netbook and I'm trying to figure out what version it's on and how feasible it is to upgrade. :-)
[22:08] <magicianlord> maybe i'll put 10.4.1 on again
[22:08] <magicianlord> jsut for the heck of it
[22:08] <Jibadeeha> magicianlord, what tires u?
[22:08] <Mindkontrol> I need some help running socat tunnel anyone?
[22:08] <Dazzled> azidhaka: thanks, I'll take a look
[22:08] <zookalicious> magicianlord - or try a different desktop environment
[22:08] <LYoung> azidhaka: all done, with 1 error... my connection failed at that point
[22:08] <magicianlord> i have already tried them. maybe i'll try flux linux mint
[22:08] <azidhaka> Dazzled: here is a full description: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm
[22:09] <zookalicious> magicianlord -  sounds good
[22:09] <Dazzled> azidhaka: great, I was a bit unsure, but this'll clear it up :)
[22:09] <azidhaka> Dazzled: :)
[22:09] <zookalicious> magicianlord -  I found Mint to be very similar to Ubuntu though
[22:09] <Gwar_Trolle> hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do  Nintendo DS [22:09] <magicianlord> zookalicious: i know. ive installed it a few times
[22:10] <zookalicious> magicianlord -  lol alright, well have fun either wy
[22:10] <rww> I found Mint to be very redundant to Ubuntu.
[22:10] <zookalicious> way*
[22:10] <magicianlord> zookalicious: got a fast connection today
[22:10] <magicianlord> maybe i'll do debian net install
[22:11] <LYoung> oh wow... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[22:11] <Mrokii> hello. How can I get espeak to work if I have OSS installed instead of ALSA?
[22:11] <rww> LYoung: install the build-essential package
[22:11] <VCoolio> Crell: lsb_release -a
[22:12] <zookalicious> magicianlord - or Arch if you're looking for something different
[22:12] <LYoung> rww: sudo apt-get install build-essential?
[22:12] <azidhaka> LYoung: looks like  libc did not install
[22:12] <rww> LYoung: yes
[22:12] <bhanu> not finding the linux kernel debug images for makerick
[22:12] <magicianlord> zookalicious: got arch on the other netbook
[22:12]  * rww nudges zookalicious and magicianlord over to #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:12] <bhanu> where should I look for them
[22:12] <zookalicious> rww - alright alright
[22:12] <kermit> on a recent dell laptop, is it possible to use touchpad scrollwheel emulation?
[22:12] <LYoung> azidhaka... it did say that was broken and it said my connection failed when it tried to download
[22:13] <Crell> Ah, I'm on 10.04.  Thanks, VCoolio.
[22:13] <Crell> Now to upgrade to 10.10 without a GUI, since plasma is borked. -)
[22:13] <Crell> What's the 10.10 codename for Apt?
[22:13] <rww> Crell: follow the Ubuntu server section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades
[22:14] <Crell> Ahso.
[22:14] <rww> Crell: maverick. I'm guessing here, but if you're planning to change sources.list and dist-upgrade, you should be aware that that isn't a supported upgrade method.
[22:14] <Crell> Hm.
[22:14] <LYoung> azidhaka: is there a way I can install just libc?
[22:14] <Crell> Well, the problem is that I did a safe-upgrade earlier, and plasma-netbook now dies on startup.
[22:14] <Crell> So CLI is all I got, because I happened to have a Konsole window open.
[22:15] <Crell> The server approach might work, though...
[22:15] <GeekMan> Support for PowerPC-based computers will be discontinued in a release following Flash Player 10.1. (this is an out raGE i use linux on my apple g4) sry for the off topic post im just up set)
[22:15] <azidhaka> LYoung: yes, sudo aptitude install  libc-dev
[22:16] <Crell> GeekMan: You say that like they support Flash on any version of Linux.
[22:16] <azidhaka> LYoung: it might be  libc6-dev, i am not sure
[22:16] <GeekMan> but they dont :(
[22:17] <Crell> rww: Hm.  OK, accoridng to do-release-upgrade there are no new releases.
[22:17] <GeekMan> beside the fact carry on
[22:17] <rww> Crell: did you follow all of the instructions in that section?
[22:17] <LYoung> well libc-dev worked
[22:17] <LYoung> and its unpacking libc6-dev
[22:17] <Crell> I'm following the server ones, because I don't have a functional GUI.
[22:17] <rww> Crell: like, say, step 2?
[22:18] <Crell> If I had a System > Administration menu I would.
[22:18] <LYoung> alright, it's working
[22:18] <rww> Crell: ... step 2 of the Ubuntu Server section.
[22:18] <azidhaka> LYoung: well done
[22:18] <rww> Crell: "edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal"
[22:18] <LYoung> now, one more issue... how can I make my console bigger? it's locked into 640x480
[22:18] <Crell> ... Bah.  No, because it got lost between the bolder code samples.
[22:19] <Crell> Ah, now it's doing something.  Thanks.
[22:23] <LYoung> azidhaka: you are officially my hero :) I been trying to figure this out for 2 days
[22:23] <16SAA1GDR> hey all, i'm doing a net install based mostly off https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet - however i would like it so that the the installer gets the install image off a the local server, not ubuntu.com
[22:23] <16SAA1GDR> how would I go about this
[22:23] <azidhaka> LYoung: that's compiling 101, the fun has just begun :)
[22:24] <sideone> .
[22:24] <LYoung> azidhaka: I'm a windows guy 100%... though I can see the appeal of using linux, it's a little too much thinking for me lol
[22:25] <Crell> Hm.
[22:25] <azidhaka> LYoung: me too, just remembering here the good ol' times
[22:25] <LYoung> make
[22:25] <LYoung> ummm... wrong window
[22:25] <Crell> rww: OK, that tries to update but fails.  It suggests use of pre-release or unofficial software packages, but I'm fairly sure I'm not doing any of that.
[22:26] <Crell> I don't think I have any pinned packages either.

[22:31] <GeekMan> hey guys i found out why flash 10 wont install
[22:31] <rww> LYoung: append .org to the program names. don't need one, though, they're both in the repositories.
[22:33] <fisch246> anyone know of a fast and easy firewall setup?
[22:33] <fisch246> basically a stand in setup?
[22:33] <aeon-ltd> !firewall | fisch246
[22:33] <aeon-ltd> fisch246: ufw can be set up easily, pretty much block all, open port 80 for web 443 for messaging
[22:34] <LYoung> rww: do i download sources or binaries?
[22:34] <q0z> learning iptables is quite usefull though, if you plan to work in the ocmputer industry..
[22:34] <Gwar_Trolle> hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do  Nintendo DS [22:34] <rww> LYoung: ... you do sudo apt-get install irssi
[22:34] <GeekMan> for one i have no idea why it wouldnt let me download it from adobes site but when you use this command: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin  you cant download it because you (i) need the repository 10.1.102.65-2lucid1 (adobe-flashplugin)
[22:34] <KB1JWQ> q0z: That's a bit inaccurate. :-)  It's useful if you intend to work with Linux.
[22:34] <q0z> hehe..
[22:35] <GeekMan> so i got the repository using software center
[22:35] <fisch246> aeon-ltd: i need something for a home network
[22:35] <q0z> KB1JWQ, just depends on how you interpret "work in the computer industry"
[22:36] <aeon-ltd> fisch246: oh you mean to act as a router?, then i do not know any
[22:37] <fisch246> well ipsense? i think is the name?
[22:37] <duckyflip> how can I stop windows loosing focus when you middle click on the window titlebar
[22:37] <james333james> Anybody from China?
[22:37] <fisch246> that's a BSD OS configured to be a firewall
[22:38] <magicianlord> so, 10.10 or 10.04.1?
[22:38] <fisch246> anyone have an experience with ipcop?
[22:38] <fisch246> any*
[22:38] <Crell> I used to run it, years ago.
[22:39] <rww> magicianlord: 10.04.1 = 10.04 + security upgrades in lucid-security. Assuming you apply updates sanely, they're identical.
[22:39] <GeekMan> ugh my java for my browsers is all kinds of messed up :*(
[22:39] <KB1JWQ> !anyone | fisch246
[22:39] <Crell> I eventually replaced it with an open source image for a Linksys router.
[22:39] <fisch246> ah ok
[22:39] <magicianlord> rww: well aware of it. problem wiht 10.04 is that it's slower than 10.10 and there is a sound mute bug that hasn't been fixed. however, i prefer the look
[22:39] <azidhaka> fisch246: you've got pfSense, ZeroShell, IPCop, monowall, etc
[22:39] <rww> magicianlord: sorry, I misread 10.10 as 10.04.
[22:40] <fisch246> well i'm looking for someone with experience with ipcop... so that was my question >.<
[22:40] <NixGeek> !china | james333james
[22:40] <azidhaka> azidhaka: if you prefer something linux-based, but not free, Mikrotik RouterOS is the easiest of them
[22:40] <fisch246> i haven't been able to test pfsense...
[22:40] <fisch246> and i've heard ipcop is the next best thing...
[22:40] <james333james> ubottu: thanks

[22:43] <randomus1r> stick off
[22:44] <dark_soul> how do i get openssl-devel for ubuntu?
[22:44] <dark_soul> i was reading libssl-devel??
[22:45] <azidhaka> dark_soul: libssl-dev if memory serves well
[22:45] <dark_soul> i see
[22:45] <dark_soul> thanks
[22:45] <azidhaka> dark_soul: good luck
[22:45] <murkasp_> Есть русские?
[22:45] <murkasp_> Русске
[22:46] <dark_soul> how do you search for a package?
[22:46] <azidhaka> murkasp_: только болгарские
[22:46] <dark_soul> i'm so use to yum
[22:46] <dark_soul> yum search packagename
[22:46] <VCoolio> !ru | murkasp_
[22:46] <maco> !ru | murkasp_
[22:46] <geirha> dark_soul: aptitude search 'regex'
[22:46] <VCoolio> dark_soul: apt-cache search package
[22:46] <geirha> dark_soul: And then to get more info,   aptitude show libssl-dev
[22:46] <dark_soul> okay..so there's no apt-get search packagename
[22:47]  * dark_soul wonders why its separated
[22:47] <azidhaka> dark_soul: apt-get installs, apt-cache searches. aptitude does both
[22:47] <VCoolio> dark_soul: and apt-key there is too, have fun
[22:48] <dark_soul> okay..aptitude search libssl-devel yields nothing!
[22:48] <geirha> dark_soul: Also, aptitude has a curses interface (if you run it without arguments), so it's a bit like a cli synaptic.
[22:49] <geirha> dark_soul: in debian/ubuntu, development packages have -dev suffix, not -devel
[22:49] <dark_soul> oh
[22:49] <geirha> dark_soul: aptitude search 'ssl.*-dev'
[22:49] <dark_soul> geirha: okay..the settle things
[22:50] <bastidrazor> !find openssl-dev
[22:50] <azidhaka> !find libssl-dev
[22:50] <azidhaka> that's it
[22:50] <james333james> Anybody from China?
[22:52] <Sdw195> how do i reinstall grub form a ubuntu10.10 live disc?
[22:52] <Sdw195> disk
[22:53] <bastidrazor> Sdw195: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[22:55] <epox> hi, can someone remind me how to edit boot parameters permanently (as opposed to hitting "e" at startup)
[22:55] <Sdw195> bastidrazor  mount | tail 1  gives a cannot open `1' for reading no such file or directory
[22:55] <bastidrazor> epox: /etc/default/grub  add them to this line between the quotes GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[22:56] <littlepenguin> azidhaka: thanks for the help
[22:57] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: don't mention it
[22:57] <bastidrazor> Sdw195: just use mount with out the | tail 1
[22:57] <Sdw195> ok
[22:58] <epox> bastidrazor: thanks
[23:01] <youra> how can I see how long a cd burn thru dd will take?
[23:02] <SabHawk> hey guys im looking to burn an avi to dvd and im also looking for a program that has a gui to make it easier, running ubuntu and i have aptitude
[23:02] <SabHawk> any suggestions?
[23:02] <durpa> i installed a lamp environment with apt-get install lamp^ , but i want to see what version of apache i'm running, and no where is httpd installed as a binary... anyone know why? or how i can check the version w/out httpd binary?
[23:02] <durpa> SabHawk: use mplayer
[23:02] <KM0201> SabHawk: do you want to make this DVD watchable in a normal DVD payer?
[23:02] <ray_> hi all
[23:02] <SabHawk> yes i do KM
[23:02] <KM0201> hmmm, not sure on that
[23:02] <MsBetty> SabHawk, devede should work
[23:03] <youra> how can I see how long a cd burn thru dd will take?
[23:03] <SabHawk> ill try both thank you
[23:03] <rww> durpa: apt-cache policy apache2 will show the version number
[23:03] <MsBetty> SabHawk, worked for me to create a looped dvd
[23:04] <rww> durpa: or "/usr/sbin/apache2 -v", if you want to use the binary itself.
[23:05] <blag> how can i remove the root password hash from /etc/shadow?
[23:06] <plazia> How do I enable the normal terminals. the Ctrl+alt+F1 - F5 ones. I press them and it goes black but there's no login prompt. just blank screen. I can then return to X with ctrl+alt+f7.
[23:07] <map7_> I'm trying to setup dual monitors on an Intel X4500 GPU with G41 chipset is it possible?
[23:07] <durpa> rww: thank you, that worked :D
[23:07] <rumpe1> plazia, well... if they are not there and you didn't "deleted" them, then you might have errors in dmesg/syslog
[23:08] <Sdw195> bastidrazor:  ok it gives me a list of things
[23:08] <plazia> rumpe1, in so far as I know I've not "deleted" them. and I've no errors pertaining to that sort of thing in syslog or the output of the dmesg command. For the very life of me I'm still unable to fathom as to why they're absent.
[23:08] <rumpe1> plazia, which ubuntu version?
[23:09] <plazia> 10.04
[23:09] <rumpe1> plazia, you could check for tty1.conf (e.g.) in /etc/init   (not /etc/init.d)
[23:10] <rumpe1> plazia, and start it with "initctl start tty1" ...   (or initctl restart tty1... →man initctl)
[23:10] <plazia> rumpe1, hmm they are there. tty1.conf and so forth. "start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]"  "stop on runlevel [!2345]"  "respawn"  exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1"
[23:10] <dos000> how do you make a  start script to launch in the background and start another tail right after that ? ./start.sh & ;  tail -100f nohup.out ?
[23:10] <dos000> for bash
[23:10] <Mrokii> How can I prevent kernel-messages (generated by a script) from showing in TTYs?
[23:11] <rumpe1> plazia, then try to start them with the command i gave and look for error messages...
[23:12] <plazia> rumpe1, http://pastebin.com/URUWT7aB is the output.
[23:12] <FloridaGuy> why would these have 2 different speeds....same mirror...2 different distro's....kubuntu...about 200 kbps slower the chakra....     http://mirror.rit.edu/ubuntu/   in ubuntu is 200 kbps slower...  then http://mirror.rit.edu/kdemod/  ... for chakra  ....  and i have noticed in other mirrors  that the same mirror slower in ubuntu then another distro
[23:12] <plazia> seems there is an error message of sorts.
[23:13] <rumpe1> plazia, retry it with sudo
[23:13] <tamtouma> hello ^^
[23:13] <plazia> rumpe1, that yeilds "initctl: Job is already running: tty1
[23:13] <plazia> "
[23:13] <rumpe1> plazia, and no terminal on ctrl-alt-f1 ?
[23:14] <plazia> nope just a blank screen
[23:14] <plazia> same with all ttys
[23:14] <plazia> rumpe1, sudo initctl restart tty1
[23:14] <plazia>  Just tried it with restart there. but no joy.
[23:15] <rumpe1> plazia, strange ⊙_ʘ
[23:15] <plazia> rumpe1, an echo of my thoughts :)
[23:16] <UbuntuNoob> hello
[23:16] <rumpe1> plazia, maybe try something different as "getty" in the configuration...  rungetty e.g.
[23:17] <UbuntuNoob> whats the best driver software i should use to make sure my drivers are all up to date :)?
[23:17] <plazia> rumpe1, thanks for your help it was all worth a shot. I'll keep digging.
[23:17] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[23:17] <skooz2011> hello
[23:18] <Umeaboy> Someone good at reading Spanish here? Correcture-reading if you know what I mean.
[23:18] <Umeaboy> Having some problems writing a letter in Spanish.
[23:18] <rww> ubottu: ot | Umeaboy
[23:19] <brandon420> whats the best torrent program? for >300 torrents?
[23:19] <Umeaboy> vuze.
[23:19] <brandon420> !torrent
[23:19] <brandon420> Umeaboy, isnt that a resource hog?
[23:19] <Umeaboy> Not really.
[23:19] <Umeaboy> That depends on your specs.
[23:20] <magicianlord> when is vlc getting updates to 1.1.7 in the ubuntu repos?
[23:20] <brandon420> quad core, 3.0, 2gb ram
[23:20] <rww> !latest | magicianlord
[23:21] <blag> does the default /etc/shadow file have the root user specified in it at all?
[23:21] <red2kic> magicianlord: Never. Or April (Next Ubuntu Release). Someone may make a PPA for it.
[23:21] <etfb> Here's a question where the default answer is apparently wrong: how do I make Firefox my default browser?
[23:21] <etfb> That is, when I click on an HTML file, how do I make it open in FF?  Currently it opens in Chromium.
[23:21] <jrib> !default | etfb
[23:21] <red2kic> etfb: System --> Pref --> Pref. Apps.
[23:22] <waseemdream> hey all
[23:22] <etfb> jrib: Doesn't work.  Any further explanations?
[23:23] <jrib> etfb: are you sure?
[23:23] <waseemdream> my Empathy Internet messaging app isnt recognizing my name, any qs or comments?
[23:23] <etfb> jrib: Quite.  Selected Open With..., chose Firefox and it opened with Firefox.  Closed FF, double clicked the file to see if it remembered, and up came Chromium.
[23:23] <jrib> etfb: that's not what the factoid says :/
[23:23] <waseemdream> plus i have major ocd so can't get it out of my mind as to why
[23:24] <etfb> Yes it is.  The factoid is wrong.  I experimented further, and what it SHOULD say is:
[23:24] <waseemdream> ohh and this empathy is only not recognizing facebook, all else is good
[23:25] <jrib> etfb: no.  What you just described is not what the procedure the factoid told you to do.  So either you did not describe what you did correctly or you did not do what the factoid says (hint: PROPERTIES)
[23:25] <waseemdream> btw is empathy the best all in one or are there better ones?
[23:25] <red2kic> waseemdream: Try Pidgin.
[23:25] <etfb> Select Open With... | Other application, then tick the box for "Remember this application".
[23:25] <etfb> The factoid is wrong.
[23:25] <jrib> etfb: either way works
[23:26] <waseemdream> cool will do,
[23:26] <jrib> etfb: like I said, you didn't click Properties first
[23:26] <waseemdream> pidgin
[23:26] <etfb> jrib: You're right.  I did misread it.
[23:26] <etfb> Sorry about that.
[23:27] <jrib> etfb: no problem, I'm tempted to right PROPERTIES in caps because I've had this discussion a hundred times :P
[23:27] <jrib> s/right/write
[23:27] <Guest58261> Hi, I'm trying to have conky launch on startup (after say 2 seconds)... there's plenty of stuff on google but I can't get any of it to work :S can anyone help?
[23:27] <etfb> However, that is the less obvious way.  The "Remember..." setting is more obvious (once you realise that the MOST obvious three methods all fail without warning, that is -- but that's Gnome's fault, not the factoid's)
[23:28] <jrib> etfb: what were the three obvious ways that didn't work?  One is just using open with directly I assume, the others?
[23:28] <jrib> Guest58261: what did you try exactly?
[23:28] <etfb> jrib: 1. Tell Firefox to be the default browser.
[23:28] <etfb> 2. Use Preferred Applications to choose Firefox.
[23:28] <jrib> etfb: in preferred apps?
[23:28] <Gwar_Trolle> hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do  Nintendo DS [23:28] <etfb> jrib: #1 is in Firefox itself.
[23:28] <Guest58261> I tried creating a script and adding it to the start up apps jrib, but the script itself didn't work, and I still couldn't get it to work when I tinkered with it. Just found something though, hold on
[23:29] <etfb> Hmmm... maybe I should just do a quick rundown of the options.  How easy is it to edit factoids, and what's the size limit?
[23:29] <jrib> etfb: ah yeah, I agree that is a bit misleading.  I think it just changes what x-www-browser is (maybe?).  Consider filing a bug complaining about it.  I agree it's confusing
[23:29] <jrib> !ubottu | etfb
[23:30] <waseemdream> no luck with pidgin doesnt offer facebook:(
[23:30] <jrib> Guest58261: pastebin the script if you are stuck
[23:30] <red2kic> waseemdream: It does.
[23:30] <red2kic> waseemdream: Plugin.
[23:30] <adamvr> gwar: it's doable, you'd need to set up packet forwarding between the two interfaces
[23:30] <jcvfen> ok, i have now tried 10 atleast different newsreader with newzbin.com and NONE of them works please help, wasted 5usd of this... crap. none of them will connect they all say its the wrong password etc
[23:31] <red2kic> waseemdream: Or don't use Facebook at all. Leave it at it. :\
[23:31] <adamvr> and i can't remember off the top of my head how you'd do that
[23:31] <waseemdream> okie doke, thanks
[23:31] <erUSUL> Gwar_Trolle: Network manager supports creating ad-hoc networks. not sure how well it will play with a nintendo DS though... why can not you connect the ds directly to the router?
[23:31] <Guest58261> jrib, this is one example I just tried that didn't work http://pastebin.com/gx31N8Wn all I want the script to do is wait 2 seconds then start conky
[23:31] <akaSoldats> Hi, I am having a problem installing vmware server on my machine. When I run the config file for first time use it asks me to locate my C header files then throws some errors and fails.
[23:32] <jrib> Guest58261: no space after the #!
[23:32] <erUSUL> !ics | also ->
[23:32] <Gwar_Trolle> erUSUL: because my roommate wont swap the router over to WEP, and the DS doesn;t support WPA.
[23:32] <erUSUL> !ics | Gwar_Trolle also ->
[23:32] <Guest58261> jrib, still doesn't run conky
[23:33] <jrib> Guest58261: what happens when you try and how are you trying?
[23:33] <erUSUL> Gwar_Trolle: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[23:33] <jrib> dash
[23:33] <Guest58261> I just double click and run in terminal, at which point a terminal window opens for like 2 seconds, displays nothing and closes
[23:33] <erUSUL> Gwar_Trolle: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html
[23:33] <Gwar_Trolle> erUSUL: I;ve tried that, but I can't figure out what to put, since I am using two Wlan and no eth hardware, :(
[23:33] <jrib> Guest58261: run it in a terminal
[23:34] <Guest58261> ah jrib, no idea why i didn't try that, tiredness :S I'll try that now
[23:34] <ComradeHaz`> Hi all. ON my Ububtu 10.10 clean install, I have some issues with my sound device. It's a bit non-standard so needs a bit of configuring post installing of OS. I've had it working before but I am unsure of what sound system I should have and so forth and certainly I have no idea where to find all the options. Is anyone able to assist, please?
[23:34] <erUSUL> Gwar_Trolle: you have to choose the iface that is connected to the router as the one aviable to other computers in network manager
[23:35] <znull> hey, does icinga have .rpms for centos?
[23:35] <Guest58261> ah got that working jrib, thanks for your help, I'll go add this to the startup apps and it should work :D
[23:35] <erUSUL> znull: ask in the centos channel ?
[23:35] <ComradeHaz`> Currently it's picking up the device and is using Alsa mixer.
[23:35] <ComradeHaz`> I seem to recall it should be usung another sound system
[23:36] <znull> yeah wrong channel ups
[23:36] <delaman> i just installed "libjexcelapi-java-doc" how do i view the doc?
[23:37] <Pars> How do I open doc files? but, I do not want openoffice.
[23:37] <erUSUL> Pars: try abiword then
[23:37] <snowrichard> oowriter is good for me
[23:37] <erUSUL> Pars: or office running in wine if you have it
[23:37] <VCoolio> Pars: install antiword to convert to text, or use google docs
[23:37] <benkevan> LibreOffice is better
[23:37] <njero> Hi All, I am trying to install ubuntu on my laptop from a CD that I created (and have successfully used)... but when I go to install it just sits on the loading screen forever

[23:39] <Pars> OK. found.
[23:39] <Pars> thanks..
[23:39] <akaSoldats> and then it doesnt compile. I have the progress on paste bin. http://pastebin.com/5PrLW7g8
[23:39]  * ComradeHaz` jumps up and down and waves his arms about
[23:39] <ComradeHaz`> HELLOOO!
[23:40] <g_0_0> njero, which screen does it stop at?
[23:40] <njero> The ubuntu loading graphic with the 5 (or six) dots.. they are still moving like they are loading... but nothing happens (left it for 40 minutes)
[23:40] <njero> g_0_0: ^
[23:42] <ComradeHaz`> Hmm, can anyone actually see what I say?
[23:42] <g_0_0> njero - what do you see if you type ctrl alt f1 or ctrl alt f2 etc?
[23:42] <njero> ComradeHaz`: yes, just don't know the answers
[23:42] <njero> g_0_0: one sec, let me try
[23:42] <njero> g_0_0: thanks btw
[23:42] <ComradeHaz`> o.O
[23:43] <njero> ComradeHaz`: I guess I don't really understand the question at all.. setting what to the system wide defaults? You didn't really ask a specific question
[23:44] <ComradeHaz`> Basically, how do I chose the sound device all apps will usse?
[23:44] <erUSUL> ComradeHaz`: click on the sound icon. choose sound properties. output tab
[23:44] <EmuAlert> What are mod1, mod2, mod3 and mod5 usually assigned to?
[23:45] <ComradeHaz`> I don't think I have a sound ico
[23:45] <ComradeHaz`> should it be by the time?
[23:45] <StaRetji> Folks, need help. I do killall xfce4-panel from terminal and it kills it. If i place this inside the bash script nothing happens? If though I kill several programs like that. Anyone?
[23:45] <erUSUL> ComradeHaz`: it in the indicators with the envelope and turnon/off icon
[23:45] <g_0_0> ComradeHaz`, system preferences sound

[23:46] <ComradeHaz`> um, possibly not
[23:46] <Acid190> Pars: yeah, get Vbox
[23:46] <ComradeHaz`> Is mythbuntu significantly different?
[23:46] <Pars> c: ubuntu     and         d: vista
[23:46] <Pars> ?
[23:46] <Plasmastar> Hi, I lost my sound. :(
[23:46] <erUSUL> !dualboot | Pars
[23:46] <Plasmastar> The only thing I know that caused this disaster is that I forced a shutdown.
[23:46] <ComradeHaz`> Plasmastar: welcome to my world!
[23:47] <ComradeHaz`> A quiet one!
[23:47] <Plasmastar> Well I had it working...
[23:47] <Plasmastar> But now it auto mutes and changes sound levels when I reboot, and doesn't do anything when I unmute.
[23:47] <pylix> is xfce 4.8 0n the xubuntu 10.10 live cd?
[23:47] <Plasmastar> I'm on xubuntu btw.
[23:48] <etfb> jrib, here's my rundown of the *complete* instructions.  Too big for a factoid, I think: http://etfb.dreamwidth.org/446272.html
[23:48] <g_0_0> Plasmastar, try typing - amixer init - in the terminal
[23:49] <jrib> etfb: yeah, too big, but if you can think of a way to make the current factoid more straightforward, that would be helpful
[23:49] <MylesMan> can som1 help me plz
[23:49] <MylesMan> ?
[23:49] <njero> g_0_0: (my computer freaked out, I unplugged, unplugged battery and am retrying... seems to be doing something)
[23:49] <blind> I have a secondary monitor set up and I want to put a gnome-panel on it but can't figure out how to get it there..
[23:50] <bastidrazor> blind: drag it over there
[23:50] <blind> it won't drag
[23:50] <etfb> jrib: What's the usual deal for "hyperlinking" a factoid, ie using it to point someone to a better and more comprehensive source of instruction?
[23:50] <bastidrazor> blind: alt left click
[23:50] <blind> yeah, it doesn't work
[23:51] <blind> i move windows with alt-click, but the gnome panel doesn't budge
[23:51] <BlackDalek> Help! my computer won't start...  the power died in the middle of a kernel update, now it won't boot. How do I get back in?
[23:51] <MylesMan> I have mythtv setup its all working except every boot i have to re-run the capturecard setup to init my usb tuner
[23:51] <njero> g_0_0: I am seeing errors now when I swap screens... "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 188108" etc etc... Also Unabled to read fragment, Unable to read page...
[23:51] <Plasmastar> g_0_0: amixer: Unknown command 'init'...
[23:51] <BlackDalek> I get a black screen and no grub menu
[23:52] <jrib> etfb: ideally, when possible, factoids should be self-contained.  Otherwise, give brief solution and external link to more info.  If neither of those is possible, then link.
[23:52] <BigMonkey> Streaming video problem in 9.10 on a thinkpad, streaming stops after varying short periods - 10 sec to a minute or so.  Wierd part - only happens in my main account
[23:52] <Acid190> blind: are you configuring through the graphics card or the .....preferences/monitors?
[23:53] <BlackDalek> All I get after POST is a black screen, then the ubuntu splash screen for a split second and then black screen and nothing.
[23:53] <Jordan_U> njero: Sounds like either a bad CD or a bad drive.
[23:53] <etfb> jrib, so let's see... !default
[23:53] <Jordan_U> njero: Try installing from a flash drive.
[23:53] <etfb> Nope.  Try again:
[23:53] <etfb> !default
[23:53] <jrib> etfb: /msg ubottu !default
[23:53] <njero> Jordan_U: yeah... I think the disc is good because I have used it so I will try the flash drive option
[23:53] <etfb> Gotcha.
[23:53] <njero> thanks Jordan_U, g_0_0
[23:54] <Jordan_U> njero: You're welcome.
[23:54] <BigMonkey> Can anybody help?  Streaming video problem in 9.10 on a thinkpad, streaming stops after varying short periods - 10 sec to a minute or so.  Wierd part - only happens in my main account
[23:55] <etfb> (Incidentally, we really need to stop calling the file manager "Nautilus".  It's nowhere near obvious enough for something so integral to the operation of an OS.  That's why I refer to it as "Gnome's file manager, Nautilus".)
[23:55] <g_0_0> Plasmastar, are you sure ? try - sudo apt-get install amixer - then run amixer init again
[23:56] <MylesMan> anybody got any ideas
[23:56] <MylesMan> ?
[23:56] <g_0_0> njero, check your cd
[23:56] <njero> g_0_0: is there a tool for that?
[23:57] <g_0_0> njero, at boot before install you can verify the cd
[23:57] <etfb> jrib, how about this, with a bigger newbie slant:
[23:57] <Plasmastar> g_0_0: E: Unable to locate package amixer
[23:57] <etfb> Does double-clicking a file launch the wrong program?  Change the default setting like this: right-click the file's icon in Nautilus (the file manager).  Choose the Properties menu.  In the Open With tab, select your preferred program and click OK.
[23:57] <Cale> Hi, I'm trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 and getting: "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."
[23:57] <Plasmastar> Yeah, I'm on xubuntu, don't know if that matters.
[23:57] <g_0_0> Plasmastar, you are using gnome ?
[23:57] <Cale> Any idea for what I could run to try to discover more about what the problem is?
[23:57] <Plasmastar> xfce
[23:58] <harleypig> I just noticed I'm using 6.9G on my main partition, /usr and /var are using up 4.8G and 1.9G respectively.  This is a headless server ... is there some way of determining what can be cleared up?
[23:58] <harleypig> aptitude clean and autoclean don't clean up any space.
[23:58] <g_0_0> Plasmastar, sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
[23:58] <BlackDalek> My computer won't boot after power failure during kernel update... how can I fix?
[23:58] <jrib> etfb: suggest it to ubottu :)
[23:58] <etfb> harleypig: you can buy a terabyte for under a hundred dollars. Is it worth your time?
[23:58] <Cale> harleypig: Is that a significant amount of space?
[23:59] <Plasmastar> alsa-utils is already the newest version.
[23:59] <Plasmastar> hmm
[23:59] <harleypig> etfb: This is a linode server.
[23:59] <BlackDalek> I can't get into a terminal or anything.... help!
[23:59] <BigMonkey> Can anybody help?  Gnome streaming video 9.10 on a thinkpad, streaming stops after varying short periods - 10 sec to a minute or so.  Wierd part - only happens in my main account
[23:59] <harleypig> Cale: It's 6.9G on a 7G partition.
[23:59] <Cale> I see
[23:59] <harleypig> I've got 85M left on the drive.
[23:59] <etfb> harleypig, I'm not sure what that means. I just always recommend asking yourself that question.  The days of expensive storage are long gone.
[23:59] <Cale> hmm, my /var is only 1.2G
[23:59] <BlackDalek> How do I get into a grub menu to boot from the previous kernel? It won't even show me the grub menu
