[Coke]I have a dell netbook - after the upgrade to 10.10, I'm having difficulty with suspend - hibernate works, but suspend never wakes up - have to power off and on. I know others have reported similar issues; is it worth reporting a new issue (or updating an existing one) for my particular hardware config? (if so, any particular information I should attach tot eh ticket?)00:02

alesanhi I wanted to mount my newly installed second hard disk so it goes in a specific directory00:04
gardeniaok thanks a_p3rson00:04
alesanI noticed that in fstab there are UUIDs instead of device names00:04
=== thatsme is now known as jow_otro
alesanhow am I supposed to work with UUIDs?00:04
bencahillDocfxit: !paste /etc/network/interfaces , please00:04
jow_otroGot change my name ...00:04
bencahillalesan: you can do either, but uuid's are better, why do you ask?00:05
jrib!uuid | alesan00:05
ubottualesan: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)00:05

alesanbencahill, what if I change hard disks?00:05
bencahillalesan: what ubottu said, sudo blkid00:05
BiPolahalesan: You can get your drive UUID by typing "blkid" in your terminal00:05
bencahillalesan: read the link by ubottu above ^^00:05
BiPolahBencahill: You don't need to have sudo on it.00:06
alesanthanks jrib I will read that! that will probably answer all my questions00:06
bencahillBiPolah: oh, that's what I've always read :-/00:06
alesanif you give me A SECOND I can read everything00:06

zhosteanybody know of a good bittorrent client or bittorrent client addon that i can access through ssh and keep track of?00:07
zhostepreferably something with a progressbar.00:07
jribzhoste: rtorrent?  btdownloadcurses?00:07
BiPolahBencahill: Nope00:08
zhostedoes rtorrent have progress bars now?00:08
ActionParsnipzhoste: you can use transmission, it has a web interface you can log into to remote monitor it. It also can be monitored from ANdroid phones using transdroid ;)00:08
BiPolahCan just leave ubottu how it is, it still works with sudo00:08
zhostei've been trying to get transmission-remote-cli to work for a few hours. it won't let me ssh in.00:08
peaveymanI have 2 drives in my desktop, a 500 gb with Windows 7 and a 250 gb that is blank. If I install ubuntu on the 250 will it detect 7 on the 500 and set up a dual boot00:08
ActionParsnipzhoste: i've not used it at cli, i always use web interface00:09
Jordan_Upeaveyman: Yes.00:09
peaveymanThat's what I thought, Jordan_U00:09
bowser22k guys im flippin right now00:09
a_p3rsonpeaveyman: it depends. you will have to manually select which drive to boot, or you can default to the ubuntu drive, which can bounce back to the windows00:09
bowser22heres my issue00:10
bencahillBiPolah: blkid (no sudo) doesn't print anything on stdout for me00:10
peaveymanIs there any reason not to install the 64bit version00:10
BiPolahPeavey: Yes. It will install GRUB which will detect Windows. If you install Windows after Ubuntu it will wipe the MBR and GRUB would have to be reinstalled00:10
BiPolahBencahill: What version are you running?00:10
bencahillpeaveyman: flash, and some others...00:10
bencahillBiPolah: 10.1000:10
peaveymanso 64bit flash doesn't work00:10

Jordan_Ubencahill: BiPolah: jrib: I believe it depends on whether there is anything in the libblkid cache or not. When there will / won't be anything in the cache I don't know.00:11
jribpeaveyman: 64bit flash does work00:11

* jrib likes « ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ » anyway00:11
bencahillJordan_U, BiPolah: ah, if I run blkid after sudo blkid, I get results, but I'm sure those wouldn't update if you didn't use blkid00:11
bencahilljrib: whatever works :)00:12
BiPolahBencahill: That would just be running it as sudo, since it elevates privileges for a short time, not a single command00:12

StFSHi. I just installed Ubuntu using the netinstall usb and I managed to mess up writing the MBR to the disk and somehow wrote it to the installation flash drive instead. I was able to fix this by doing "grub-setup '(hd0)'" but I'm just worried that I'm leaving something out... perhaps some config file that should be updated so that future upgrades and such will not try to find the MBR on the USB key but the MBR on my hdd00:16
felix_dusx_12hi... someone has a good tutorial about postfix00:17
bencahillfelix_dusx_12: was that intended to be a question?00:17
BiPolahStFS: I believe it would take the MBR from whichever drive it's set to boot from00:17

ubotturoot_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo00:18

Docfxitbencahill what I tried for network static configuration is at http://pastebin.com/cEhdLrWT00:18

Jordan_UStFS: And in the future you should use grub-install rather than using grub-setup directly.00:19
BiPolahMaco2: You're right. I must've installed it at some point, I just don't remember since video editing isn't something I plan to do so I wouldn't pay much notice. I've got a few leftover packages in /var/00:19

Dougdoug4when running ubuntu in recovery mode, it still wants a root password from me00:43
Dougdoug4And I need to reset my root password, help?!00:43
bencahill!root | Dougdoug400:44
ubottuDougdoug4: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo00:44

Dougdoug4I typed sudo for god sake00:44

hylianbencahill: it currently isn't mounted at all, or so i thought. but my problem isn't accessing the drive, my problem is editing fstab, which i can access, but cannot change00:45
karim2how come when the group of a user is change the files owned by that user is not also changed to that group?00:46
bencahillhylian: try sudo mkdir /tester00:46
maco2bencahill: if you chattr +i (set the immutable bit) you cant modify the file regardless of other permissions00:46
Logan_WP!addingfs | hylian00:46
ubottuhylian: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc).  See !permissions and !fstab00:46
bencahillmaco2: but not if the drive is mounted as ro :)00:46
MrokiiGuest9850: As nobody else seems to care... Hello :)00:46
maco2bencahill: right, but im saying ro isnt the only possible explanation for a file being ro00:46

bryhoyt1Hi, I'm trying to set up a gstreamer pipeline with a gamma adjustment. There are 2 gamma plugins for gstreamer, but they've got issues. The "gamma" plugin isn't actually gamma, it just sets the brightness (real gamma should not interfere with the black & white points). The "frei0r-filter-gamma" plugin does the right thing with black & white, but it adds a blueish/washed-out tinge to my whole video. Why? How can I get a decent gamma using gstreamer?00:52

santhoshthat is  wen v generally do ssh -p 1234 user@example.com -L 5005:localhost:5005 . we will go inside the example.com and also use the localhost:5005 from our local system from where we ssh, but this tends to be lost once we close the ocnnection but i want to do this permanently04:13
GanymedeHello, I have Maverick with fglrx from the repository. I have a laptop with a Radeon HD3200-ish (I'm guessing it does not have EyeInfinity). I have a projector hooked up via VGA (working perfectly, can be enabled through both xrandr and the GUI displays utility). I just got a new monitor and would like to use it via HDMI but the GUI utility does not detect it. I've heard aticonfig --initial can fix it but aticonfig help suggests that I have to d04:14
Ganymedeecide then my resolutions and screen layout...but doesn't both AMDCCCLE and xrandr allow me to change that after aticonfig? It suggests only two devices can be used at a time...does that mean I have to re-run aticonfig every time I want to switch between VGA projector and HDMI monitor? And AMDCCCLE appears to not work at the moment.04:14

tomreynmadmn_: if your goal is to access your desktop computer from the internet and you have a standard residential internet access there, then you also need to set up port forwarding in your router (the devices which usually also gets you access to the internet, you usually access it by web address, somthing like http://192.168.1.0 ) and, if the external IP address you get assignd by your internet provider changes regularly, you also need some 'dyndns'04:30

BlueEaglemadmn: In most cases the USB drives are detected automatically.04:36
VooDooNOFXI see some forums recommending that I put all_generic_ide floppy=off irqpoll, but not sure where to type them in04:36
blackxoredVooDooNOFX: usually, corrupted ISO04:36
tomreynblackxored: what does your route to the VPN server look like (best test this with the VPN off/disabled)? is it a lot of hops, do you have packet loss?04:36

VooDooNOFXblackxored: it dumps me directly to a (initramfs) screen. Not sure, but that doesn't appear to be the bootloader04:38

BlueEaglemadmn: Did you have data on this drive before?04:47
madmnyes04:47
madmni know there was data on it04:47
_jesse_dw1: yeah, I think it's just to make it 'nicer' when people want to dual boot with windows04:47
madmndoes that mean its gone ?04:48
dw1_jess_: and only the first of these 4 explicitly says "Install them side by side, choosing between them at startup"04:48
_jesse_dw1: right, should be largest contiguous space, manual, and guided or whatnot04:48
BlueEaglemadmn: Because there is no longer a partition table on that disk, which means you're looking at restoring from backup unless youc an recover the partition table.04:48
BlueEaglemadmn: You _do_ have backup, don't you?04:48
madmnyes i think its on another computer04:48
dw1_jess_: so there's a possible interpreation  of the interface that choicese 2,3, and 4 will not do the "side by side" selection thing as well as 1 will04:48
_jesse_dw1: hmm... well like I said, I'm not familiar with that option; it may have been added in a new release.  It's been a while since I did side-by-side with Windows04:48
madmnbut how do i get this drive to work in here for the future04:48
dw1__jesse_ to press or not to press04:49
KREDOhi all04:49
BlueEaglemadmn: Since the disk does currently not have a partition table you need to create one. This is typically done with fdisk or gparted.04:49
KREDOI have a dual processor computer, when I open the System Monitor the CPU usage shows 100%, but I have no program is open04:49
dw1Maybe I'll delay a few more mins in case I get another view04:49
BlueEaglemadmn: You may want to look at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Partition-Rescue.html if you want to attempt to rescue the data on the disk.04:49
madmnlet me check that i said it is a data traveller usb drive04:50
_jesse_dw1: that is the question. I don't think that option could possible do any better than just installing to largest free space04:50
_jesse_dw1: since grub will see them all regardless04:50
_jesse_dw1: might be a good idea, maybe someone is familiar with that option04:50

Ghastlyhaha, sorry04:55
KREDOBlueEagle I looked at the CPU but there's nothing04:55
blackxoredtomreyn: hours, yeah right ;) that won't really be a feasible thing to do04:55
blackxoredi mentioned dialup, right?04:55
DifesaHello04:56
Ghastlypretty much crystalspace through either a manual install, or ubuntu managed install, spreads EVERYTHING out04:56
blackxoredok, let's shift the focus, onto software-based speed up things, can a cache proxy provide some help, and if that, there's something lighter than setting up squid (setting squid for that purpose is a breeze, doing it over dialup it's suicide ;))04:56
evilsushiKREDO: paste your top output04:56
tomreynblackxored: not sure whether you mentioned it. if you did, i missed it. so this is a phone line + voice modem or DSL or what type of dial-up link?04:57
blackxoredotherwise I'll have to take a quick jump to my work to do it04:57
blackxoredtomreyn: oh dude, i've been wasting your time, it was dialup from the very beginning ;)04:57
sacarlsonblackxored: I didn't read back to were your problem began but what I did see may be a mtu setting might fix it04:57
Ghastlythe problem is... hmm04:57
blackxorednevertheless I found some useful answers04:57
GhastlyI cant get the environmental variables to set correctly, or for it to build into a single directory04:58

blackxoredsacarlson: not a clue on how it'll affect it, honestly, also there are some posts on disabling modem compression, I didn't even know that it was possible to do so04:58
tomreynblackxored: you didn't waste my time, no worries.04:58
blackxoredtomreyn: great, that's the spirit, so any clues about caching ???04:59
blackxoredwill it prove helpful04:59
blackxoredthrough a VPN link?04:59
evilsushiGhastly: use ./configure --help see if there is a option to pass the lib into the configure04:59
blackxoredit'll speed things up or it's a total waste of time/resources/you name it04:59
sacarlsonblackxored: wow dialup, It's too many beers back to remember anything about that04:59
KREDOapt-get uses 100% CPU04:59
blackxoredevilsushi: usually all that kind of stuff is/should be on a BUILD/INSTALL file, if you want custom location is normally --prefix=<location> if you want to compile with some linked lib in an abnormal path is normally --with-<lib>=<location>05:00
DifesaSorry if this is in improper format, but could anyone field a question concerning Booting from CD on a mac?  After choosing to load from CD and passing the initial boot screen, the display goes blank.  its hasppened using both the standard iso and 64bit text based installer05:00
blackxoredsacarlson: the ones I'll get into myself when we get rid of these ;) but sadly it's what we've got for outside access05:00
tomreynblackxored: i'd start on the lower layers and work to the higher ones. I think when you say "caching" you refer to a http proxy cache. That would be a higher layer. I'd start debug your network link first, see if there are issues which actually allow you to solve your issues (whichever those actually are, you never specified this).05:01
madmni can't format it on the windows machine either it won't let me05:01

ubottumadmn: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap05:01
blackxoredevilsushi: my bad, pipe it for me plz05:01
blackxoredtomreyn: here's the thing, i'm pretty sure that at the network layer I won't be getting any faster05:02
blackxoredwhich is totally subjective but that's my though05:02
madmni just want to format the usb drive nothing else05:02
madmnso i can get a partion table on it05:02
tomreynblackxored: however, if you still want to start with looking into a http proxy cache, then this can be a good way to cut down on traffic which needs to flow through the line. and if you have a low bandwidth link there, which I assume based on what you said so far, then I'd suggest you use one. Squid is the de facto standard there.05:03
sri_i cant install utorrent using wine05:03

Ghastlyheh evilsushi / blackxored05:03
BlueEaglemadmn: sudo fdisk /dev/sdf05:03
GhastlyI was actually doing said (prefix / custom install dir) as was waiting for help05:03
BlueEaglemadmn: Hang on. Let me get you a tutorial. :)05:03
blackxoredtomrey: I have a slow link here, on to the server the actual internet access is respecfully fast05:03
blackxoredwhich is also respectfully far ;)05:04
sri_how to use bittorrent client in ubuntu.. its not working.. how to enable that05:04
BlueEaglemadmn: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html05:04
Ghastlythank you both very much05:04
evilsushisri_: a torrent client is provided with ubuntu05:04
madmnsays it is unknown05:05
tomreynblackxored: so the issue is network throughput (bandwith / data transferred over time)? or reliability fo your network link?05:05
blackxoredBlueEagle: oh man you've sent him to kill himself, why don't give him a gparted one, it's more user-friendly for the starter ;)05:05
BlueEaglemadmn: So you want "n" for new partition and it should be a primary partition. Accept the default start and end cylinders.05:05
sri_other downloads are going smoothly05:05
BlueEagleblackxored: Because he'll hardly learn anything from it. ;)05:05
blackxoredtomreyn: ok, let's break it down, I am slow obviously since right now i'm using a dialup connection, the endpoint is way faster on the other hand where internet speed is blazing05:05
KREDOBlueEagle not working properly but I'm afraid that computer is not good05:06
blackxoredI wanted to know if putting a cache server on the endpoint would help my dialup UX to seem faster05:06

overcluckerfdisk it a little too heavy05:06
blackxoredBlueEagle: good point, is on you if we don't hear from him again ;)05:06
tomreynblackxored: so you are getting all the speed you can expect to get, based on its technical limits, on the dial-up line?05:06
overcluckersfdisk or cfdisk would probably be better for a first time user05:07
blackxoredI'm not 100% sure, but I have a strong feeling I am05:07
sri_its not getting started.. its not working05:07
evilsushiboth of those are more confusing than fdisk imo05:07
blackxoredsince it's to limited05:07
pnormantomreyn: I just moved the server to it's home for the next 10 years, and it came up properly on bootup05:07
blackxoredthe speed ;)05:07
sri_0.0005:07
pnormanWhich is good, since to type anything in where it is I have to balance on one foot, hold the keyboard with one hand, type with the other, and use my knee to keep from falling over05:08
BlueEaglemadmn: When you've defined the partition you need to give it a type. press "T" and select type 7 "HPFS/NTFS"05:08
overcluckercfdisk too much gui for you, hehe05:08
blackxoredI'd personally stick to fdisk/mkfs but I do find parted quite useful and easy05:08
tomreynblackxored: if you want to be sure, run a speedtest with and without the VPN and compare the results. Use http://speedtest.net/ - or, for serious debugging, netperf.05:08
blackxoredand of course gparted, which was my initial recomm endation05:09
BlueEagleblackxored: It's just an USB drive that's already w/o a partition table.05:09
blackxoredtomreyn: netperf requires a server?05:09
jukmadmn: why not just right click and format?05:09
blackxoredjuk: the brilliant answer ;)05:09
BlueEaglejuk: Because you cannot right-click a drive that has got no partitions.05:09
blackxoredtomreyn: I remember a tool which was client/side05:09
jukBlueEagle: ah05:09
tomreynblackxored: i already responded to the question regarding the http proxy cache. and no, netperf does not require a special server, but an endpoint to connect to.05:09
BlueEaglejuk: But thank you for playing.05:10
jukBlueEagle: np05:10
blackxoredtomreyn: meaning?05:10
BlueEaglemadmn: Now after you've written the partition table with "w" quit fdisk with "q"05:10
blackxoredI assume I just can't try to connect anywhere, right?05:10
tomreynpnorman: i do not understand what you are trying to say.05:10
tomreynblackxored: netperf measures the trhoughput of network interfaces.05:11
blackxoredtomreyn: i'll stick to speedtest for the moment, it's flashy but who cares05:11
BlueEaglemadmn: Now you _may_ need to reformat the drive. If you're lucky however it was just the partition table that was wiped and not the filesystem. You can try mounting it and see what you've got.05:11
BlueEaglemadmn: I recomend you reformat it in any case.05:11
blackxoredI didn't like the term debugging ;) sounded like a full OSI stack evaluation at what's now 12:11am here ;)05:11
tomreynblackxored: you can use it to check whether there is less throughput on the VPN than there should be.05:11
BlueEagleblackxored: Pfft... It's 06:12 am here. ;)05:12
pnormantomreyn: it's working05:12
blackxoredi'm a late sleepier, you guys are early wakers, who would tell?05:13
overcluckershame on you blackxored, BlueEagle for having the wrong times, it's 9:13pm here05:13
tomreynblackxored: i guess http://speedtest.net/ is good enough. be sure to stop all other processes and quit any applications causing any internet traffic during your tests. if you want to test this at all.05:13
sre-suI did <sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop> But after selection of default display manager as gdm/kdm, I get the error as dpkg: ... : No space left on device and E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2). Should I do apt-get clean or what to fix it?05:13

snotmonkeybawlshi i am having troubles with my awl5088 mini usb driver05:19
SnakkahAfter I did a system update (the most recent update to Ubuntu 10.10 that upgraded the kernel to 2.6.35.27), the Disk Utility is reporting one bad sector on my hard drive. I checked the system for errors by booting into the Live CD and running fsck and it was fine...05:19
Frenkoverclucker: yes.05:19
snotmonkeybawlsanybody ever work with it?05:19
SnakkahIt's also saying that my external hard drive has one bad sector.05:19
SnakkahIs this just an update bug, or what?05:19
evilsushisnotmonkeybawls: whats the prob05:21
tomreynpnorman: by the way i'm surprised that you had to install the intel driver to get the NIC working. this should no longer be the case.05:21
snotmonkeybawlswell i was trying to install my awl5088 network adapter05:21
littleruehi guys, is there any way i can get ls to restrict the output to just hidden files or to just directories?05:22
tomreynpnorman: unless you're using really current hardware there, maybe.05:22
evilsushilittlerue: man ls05:22
snotmonkeybawlsthe adapter started functioning. it goes online. i perform a speed test and it registers at 2.55 MBps. however, when i download something from a good website like download.com, it only downloads at 10kb05:22
SnakkahNo answers?05:22
LoshkiSnakkah: a hard drive in good shape should remap bad sectors so you don't even see them. If I were you, I would download and run the manufacturer's own diagnostic on the disk...05:23
littlerueevilsushi: i did, but i think (from reading it) that it's only capable of showing hidden files AND regular files or directories AND regular files, not restrict the output to a subset therein. Any idea?05:23
evilsushilittlerue: regex05:23
evilsushilittlerue: ls -a | grep '^\.'05:23
FrenkI also have another question - who of you can tell me, if my smart-values are good or bad (http://oi55.tinypic.com/33w0f3d.jpg) I do not get along with whats "normal" for smart values.05:23
pnormantomreyn: The card was manufactured in week 51 of 2010, the motherboard is similarly recent. I think the reason I had to install the drivers was that I installed the card *after* i set up the server, since I didn't have it initially05:23
evilsushilittlerue:  http://www.robelle.com/smugbook/regexpr.html05:24
lamefunWhat's the size of ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso, in bytes?05:24
littlerueevilsushi: ok, so ls has no ability to do this itself?05:25
snotmonkeybawlsevilsushi: the adapter started functioning. it goes online. i perform a speed test and it registers at 2.55 MBps. however, when i download something from a good website like download.com, it only downloads at 10kb05:25
tomreynpnorman: ok, that's pretty recent, and could be why. but i think it's more likely then that you're just missing the firmware blobs package so that the in-kernel drivers would work05:25

FrenkLoshki: thx. is there a (console) utility which can tell me whether my smart values are good or bad?05:28
LoshkiSnakkah: it may be that as a result of the update, you're accessing disk blocks that you weren't using before the update. It doesn't change my advice about your next step...05:28
robertzaccourjuk, just a few blurred frames every several seconds. not an issue w/o compiz but compiz is on and running by default and certain applications require it, so i think this qualifies as a bug05:28

pnormantomreyn: Ya, I was surprised that it didn't work out of the box, but the intel network cards are the best in the price range I was looking at05:34
littlerueevilsushi: tell me what you think of this api: 'ls' by itself just displays regular entries; 'ls -c' displays regular entries PLUS constants; 'ls -i' just displays regular entries PLUS instance variables. So all the flags add to the regular entries unless you combine then with the '-r' flag which restricts the output to just those flags you specify05:34

tomreynblackxored: i see them now. a shame this tool is so imprecise. it's obviously made for broadband connections. the latency is very bad, and for some reason according to this test your upload is twice as much as your download, normally it is the other way around or even. so you have a 56 kbps modem there?05:38

blackxoredtomreyn: but on the other side what does it tell me about the network latency stuff you were talking me about05:42
evilsushiI need a program that watches a directory and notifies me of any changes05:42
kevdogHow do you want to be notified?05:42
blackxoredevilsushi: inotify or something?05:42
evilsushipipe it to mutt and send me a email05:42
evilsushisms would be even better =)05:43
sri_how to change system startup os selection menu05:43
jukaroshlakshan: i think you want system monitor applet on gnome-panel05:43
kevdogYou could set up a cron script to calculate the md5 of the directory like every 15 minutes (or whatever you want), and if its changed it could email you -- not sure how to do sms although it might be possible05:43
tomreynblackxored: that your internet connection is very laggy. it takes 1 second for data to travel from your computer to the speedtest site you tested against. normally if the server you were testing against is in the same country as you, you should not get anything more than 200 milliseconds, so 0.2 seconds maximum there.05:43
blackxoredevilsushi: yeah, inotify it is, another shot, you can have even shell script aware tools installing inotify-tools for that matter05:44
blackxoredtomreyn: in deed05:44
blackxoredwithout vpn the results were better, but didn't really made a big difference05:45
sri_how to change the delay of os selection menu05:45
tomreynblackxored: and speedtest.net has many servers in many locations across the world so chances are you did have a close server to test against. however, if you were testing with your VPN active that would explain increased latency, but it should still be no more than ~ .2 seconds, not 1.005:45
aroshlakshanjuk: it does not count the my whole traffic. it only counts my traffic in a single session. when i restart my PC it resets05:45
evilsushikevdog: kinda sorta what I am doing now.. I think inotify or dnotify may be better since its a daemon05:45
blackxoredsri_: /etc/default/grub, search for timeout, update-grub and reboot05:45
kevdogevilsushi: Probably -- but cron is a daemon too!!05:46
jukaroshlakshan: ah05:46
blackxoredtomreyn: i was testing both ways, when the vpn was active chose some server from the UK, so it was close05:46
tomreynblackxored: but in fact i don't really know what commonlatencies are on voice modem links. so this can be totally okay.05:46
blackxoredtomreyn: "okay" heck no it's okay, you meant standard, common, right? :P05:47
evilsushikevdog: yea but I want to be notified like immediately and running a cron every few seconds to call a bash script is not very resource friendly =)05:47
tomreynblackxored: right05:47
blackxoredevilsushi: i'm not really on it, but i think inotify uses some kind of evented programming, it'll wrap the call you want to make through cron for you05:47
aroshlakshanjuk: can you think of a solution05:48
evilsushipfft05:48
sri_anybody pls help me to change os selection menu05:48
blackxoredtomreyn: it was a pointless observation just remarking that this makes someone to loose the meaning of life from time to time, and love work a lot ;)05:48
jukaroshlakshan: you can write wrapper for ifconfig to dump stats somewere..05:48
blackxoredsri_: I did answered to your timeout question, didn't I?05:48
kevdogevilsushi: Not sure how efficient either method actually is in terms of resources.05:48
tomreynblackxored: "Dial-up connections usually have latency as high as 400 ms or even more [..]" -> https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Dial-up_Internet_access#Performance_assessment05:49
sri_pls tell that again05:49
blackxoredtomreyn: on it05:49
jukaroshlakshan: /j #bash many creative people out tere05:49
aroshlakshanjuk: what? i didnt understand05:50
blackxoredevilsushi: from the inotify read, <aside>I'm a nice guy I even opened the README for you</aside> inotifywait simply blocks for inotify events, making it appropiate for use in shell scripts05:50
blackxoredevilsushi: there you go05:50
tomreynblackxored: where are you located and is money much of an issue, and are there other access options or do you have to use the dial-up per policy?05:50
jukaroshlakshan: that's why i proposed to /join #bash05:50
blackxoredtomreyn: why do we even care about speed testing when that link took over 10 seconds to open, and wikipedia is the fastest site ever ;)05:50
sri_i got it... thank you..05:50
blackxoredsri_: np05:51
aroshlakshanjuk: k05:51
aroshlakshan /j #bash05:51
blackxoredsri_: make sure to only mess with timeout, I don't want to weight of a broken grub on my shoulders05:51
blackxoredtomreyn: it's complicated05:51
sri_k05:51
tomreynblackxored: it's far from being the fastest site, pretty slow for me. and I pointed you to a https:// varinat of it, so this adds to it.05:52
evilsushiaroshlakshan: records your traffic and keeps it around so you can view it anytime?05:52
__shaiHello :) How do I use 'find' and regex to find all directories that have a matching range of two digit numbers (ie. all directories named 5.20.1.12 to 5.20.1.34) ?05:52
__shaiBut nothing before or after that range...05:52
blackxoredtomreyn: really? I mean, no flash, probably no HTML5-intensive stuff, also no javascript, should be faster05:52
blackxoredthan many sites05:52
blackxored__shai: hoping forward to hear an answer to that, kinda tricky, specially since I believe find uses glob, but not sure05:53
blackxoredtomreyn: well it talks very little about this odd case05:54
tomreynblackxored: page load time depends on may things. in this case i think the webservers just respond a bit slow.05:54

robertzaccouri'm adding a choppy video to the bug report05:55
tomreynblackxored: my point for the quotation frm wikipedia was just that your latency should not be considerably higher than 400 ms. you seem to have a remarkably bad link.05:55
blackxoredin deed, it seems, I do have to agree with you05:56
blackxoredthat was a nice part that vikingur05:56
blackxored:P05:56
tomreyn__shai: just within one directory level, or across subdirectories, too?05:56
blackxoredbut the fact is the options on what the ... i can do about it are pretty limited right?05:57
=== AndChat is now known as Guest58340
tomreynblackxored: i don't know how it would look like with VPN off. so this could be an option. but if it looks the same, then if you have a choice, get a different link. even mobile network links should be faster.05:58
blackxoredI bet you guys that followed that link must actually play that modem sound on the right to even remember what we're talking about here ;) For my purposes, I have it muted05:58
piercedwaterDoes anyone know of any cli hotkey applications for 10.0.4?05:58
=== MS_IS_s--h-i---t is now known as kderocks
blackxoredtomreyn: weren't a lot faster, actually let met tell you, you can shame on speedtest, but the vpn was actually faster on download/upload speeds05:59
evilsushiblackxored: you should reverse proxy everything you do to your local machine so it seems super fast =)05:59
blackxoredtomreyn: let me switch buffers and actually tell you06:00
blackxoredping: 869ms, download: 0.03mpbs, upload: 0.02mbps06:00
evilsushiouch06:00
robertzaccourhope attatching a video for the but will help the process06:00
tomreynblackxored: yeah, bad measurement regarding the speeds apparently. but the ltency test should still be of use. but then you can do this yourself using 'ping' to some well-connected server in your area06:00
blackxoredevilsushi: sounds interesting, let me get a 250TB hard drive so I can get the internet ;)06:00
blackxoredand browse locally, that would be heck faster06:00
evilsushiblackxored: 250TB SSD =)06:01
blackxoredoh right, as it even mattered ;)06:01
blackxoredfrom the vpn, pinging google.co.uk it's 875ms06:01
blackxoredspeedtest wasn't that wrong06:01
blackxoredi'm starting to believe (or resign) that we can't do pretty much anything about it06:02
tomreynblackxored: well you said "download: 0.03mbps, upload: 0.06mbps, ping: 1068ms" for the VPN to speedtest.net, so either their ping server is badly connected or it badly measured there, too06:03
blackxoredOk now I want you guys to sign me an NDA on not to post on twitter how slow it's my external access to my work's network06:03
evilsushiblackxored: do a real test, scp a file over the vpn and scp a file over non-vpn link06:03
blackxoredtomreyn: I haven't noticed06:03
blackxoredtomreyn: sleepy I guess06:03
blackxoredit's indeed way faster06:03
tomreynblackxored: but yeah, you have a bad connection there, it's not the VPN being the issue. use a proxy cache if you have to continue using this connection.06:03
blackxoredand I chose a server close enough to the vpn06:03

robertzaccourWhenever I do a screen recording with gtk-recordMyDesktop and compiz running at the same time, which it does by default, The recording is always very buggy and still-framed for the most part and crazy mixes of coloring. Some applications (that are in the repos) require compiz to run properly e.x. docky. Since compiz and gtk-recordMyDesktop are both in the repos, I do believe this qualifies as a bug.06:17

Strife89shcherbak: I installed acpi, but it had no obvious effect.07:01
BIIINot to my knowledge07:01
shcherbakStrife89: you need script to read from acpi07:01
tomreynfuzzybunny69y: you could run nautilus with sudo, as superuser, and search then. but this is also quite dangerous since you could, with the click of a wrong button, break your system07:02
_jesse_tomreyn: really? that seems strange that running as root would be necessary07:02
_jesse_I'm pretty sure you can change the flder it searches in07:02

fuzzybunny69ytomreyn, yeah that is true but sometimes I want to search in just the folder im in but for some reason nautilus always just starts searching from the home folder07:06

mneptokyourwhiteshadow: those are the perms that dir has on my system07:29
tomreynMyWay: also check with your hardware vendor for a firmware update.07:29

ashishhow do I do that?10:24
bazhangashish, then search in synaptic and install them10:24
iqpiamit: perhaps you have deleted the user but not the user home directory, so when you do it, you see that directory, try sudo rm -r user10:25
amitblorg28: it said user doesnot exist10:25
ashishdid that, but when I run a file using the libconfig.h header , it doesnt compile10:25
sacarlsonbasw: there is like 4 different encryption formats, without knowing that makes it a bit harder10:25
Blorg28amit: yes, you already delete the user10:25
Blorg28amit: I said "next time" for another user10:25
bazhangashish, you have build-essential installed ?10:26
Blorg28amit: deluser remove the user, but not the home folder (by default), unless you specify --remove-home10:26

jattwhat's wrong with vi10:56
Ve2Hmm if I try to boot the ubuntu server disk from a usb dvd drive it loads the installer and then says it cant find the disk. What is the deal?10:56
jaeger_beerI want to view the syslog from the ubuntu server from my Mac or Windows PC. I prefer to view it in my web browser but client software is also oke10:56
jattnotepad10:57
erUSULjaeger_beer: ssh to the server and use tail10:57
Pumpkin-jaeger_beer: very VERY crude option. Setup a webserver, make it serve whereever you are storing the syslog files. (+security considerations)10:57
Guest60211is it possible on ubuntu to watch my network to see who is actually downloading my files i share to make sure nobody is cracking me10:58
Pumpkin-but I'd generally read syslog output, particularly from multiple systems with some combination of tail and grep on the command line10:58
robertzaccourever notice nobody ever pirates Ubuntu?10:58
Ve2That is because Ubuntu implements a new kind of DRM10:59
Ve2Called F.R.E.E10:59

kokozedmanhey guys....11:05
kokozedmananyone what official kernel version is the current kernel for maverick?11:05
suigenerisin windows, I inserted ubuntu cd and it fired up a GUI installer. is that wubi? if yes, after installing shouldn't it ask me at boot what OS I want?11:05
kokozedmani'm looking into using TUN/TAP feature inside LXC.... and that only works with kernel built from official 2.6.35.9 or greater11:06
Pumpkin-Guest18482: you can see what you have installed from /var/log/apt/history.log. Going back versions is slightly trickier, I think you would need to find old .deb's and install them manually. However, you almost certainly don't want to roll back updates unless you know one has caused you a specific problem.11:06
madfoxkokozedman, get maverick if you insist, and merely install the proper kernel you need11:07

shaulaHi there, I am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on virtualbox which is running again on ubuntu 10.10, when I boot the virtualbox from i386-desktop image it fails to install with ending on "busybox.. " screen. I checked the cd image's sha1sum which seem fine. What can be the problem can anyone guide?11:29
suigenerisiqpi np11:31
suigenerisno*11:31
iqpishaula: perhaps there is a problem with mkinitcpio-busybox11:31
shaulaon busybox screen it says "(initramfs) Can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)...11:31
Attivismragazzai ilgiornalr.it è down11:31
iqpisuigeneris: how have you installed?11:31
shauladoes correct sha1sum guarantees that I do not have a defected image, should I redownload it?11:32
suigenerisiqpi I just inserted the CD in windows, I got a GUI installer, I filled in the details and hit Enter11:33
shaulaiqpi, what can I do to fix that, is it some problem with the image or the virtualbox, the virtualbox is the default one from ubuntu 10.10 repository11:33
iqpiI think i would redownload it, because perhaps the md5sum is correct, the download would be correct, but the cd image was wrong on the server.11:33
iqpishaula: my last message wasa for you11:34
iqpisuigeneris: have you installed grub?11:34
iqpishaula: if you redownload, and have the same error, we should check for another cause11:35
shaulaiqpi, I have downladed the image from "http://releases.ubuntu.com/"11:35
suigenerisiqpi ,how do I install grub? isn't it something wubi should do?11:36
Scott`it does11:36
Scott`actually it might not, just add ubuntu to the windows bootloader11:37
fedora_newbty arvind_khadri for the advice, fixed my problem. :)11:38
iqpishaula: i cannot open that url, i think its broken, try this other :  http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download11:38
arvind_khadrifedora_newb, np :)11:39
iqpisuigeneris: grub should install from wubi check it11:39
iqpisuigeneris: anyway, i have never used wubi, so i dont know how should it work, i recommend you to try to install ubuntu in your hard disk in a new partition, but if you don't know how to do it, read before some manuals11:40
shaulaiqpi, http://releases.ubuntu.com/  is working, maybe the quotations make it fail. I have checked md5sum, sh1sum, sh256sum of the image where all seems fine11:41
esterpaderfreepbx11:41
suigenerisiqpi I think I got it, the OS options were set not to show. that's in windows11:43
iqpishaula: ok, now it works, any way if the image you download was bad in the server, even if you downloaded it without errors, you will have a bad image because the image was wrong on the server, so the md5sum md239874sum will show you any errors because is the correct md5sum for an incorrect cd image, i dont know if I have explain myself11:44

kisukeM_Kay: have you tried formating it?12:12
M_Kayyes12:12
kisukeCyberelves: AFAIK ther is not one, im assuming this is on a laptop?12:12
Cyberelveskisuke, true it is a notebook12:13
kisukeCyberelves: then in that case your note book cant supply the power your mouse needs and you will need to look at getting a powered hub12:13
M_Kaynow there is message that the bootloader is missing but12:13
M_Kaythen the system is stopping during boot12:14
drt4923llutz: I get the error :  ftp: unrecognized service12:14
Cyberelveskisuke, thx12:14
amitkisuke:no my question is about not vmware? simply can we use two environments12:14
llutzdrt4923: what ftp-server do you use?12:14
drt4923llutz: i know an ftp server is running on port 21 though, it shows up in nmap, and i can log in with ftp clients from other machine12:14
kisukeamit: ok, can you rephrase that then, i dont think i understood your question12:14
drt4923llutz: i want to change it to something more secure, i heard ftp needs to die12:15
erUSULdrt4923: use sftp via ssh12:15
amitcan we use two desktop environment at a time without using vm?12:15
llutzdrt4923: look in /etc/init or /etc/init.d  for ftp and use that to stop12:15

amiterUSUl:thanx i will try12:16

llutzsre-su: you'll have to mount them all and check for contents if you don't know which one holds your /12:36
Pumpkin-gbjk: I don't know if the default changed or anything, but the obvious thing to do is check sshd_config for AllowAgentForwarding12:36
sre-sullutz: But, how did you come to options sdb6/sdb7 not others?12:36
Pumpkin-afaik the default is yes and always has been, but its worth checking12:36
gbjkPumpkin-: sshd is ... sshd, right. I haven't *touched* the server!12:36

sre-susre-su shrugs13:10
* ibrahim nods13:10
gbjkjrib: This *isn't* a login shell, though.13:10
gbjkNote: The keychain is being RUN. The vars just aren't in env if it's run through shortcut.13:11
jribgbjk: how do you login?13:11
ion_wilbat: I can't ...13:11
gbjkjrib: Recap on issue: If you run xterm -e 'cd $HOME;/bin/bash' from alt-f2, then keychain runs and env| grep SSH has ssh vars13:11
jribgbjk: I understand, but how do you login?13:12
wildbation_: any error msgs?13:12
gbjkHOWEVER, the issue is that a keyboard shortcut that runs the SAME command, does run keychain, but doesn't have vars.13:12
gbjkjrib: It's a desktop. I login using ... whatever the login prompt is.13:12
jribgbjk: using ~/.profile should work and I don't see why you are running "cd $HOME; /bin/bash".  When you run xterm, it should automatically run your shell13:12
wildbation_: you may wanna click the Check filesystem button ~ if there is errors in filesystem that prevent you from mounting13:13
gbjkjrib: Because running it from keyboard shortcut starts in / and I want ~.13:13
ion_wildbad: I can't put it on the pastbin for you ...13:13
jribsre-su: obviously we could try to understand /why/ it needs space and avoid it.  But it seems like it would be much easier to just free up some space.13:13
jribgbjk: that's mighty weird13:13
sre-sujrib: But, where?13:13
jribsre-su: either in sdb6 or sdb713:14
sre-sujrib: That is what I'm not able to make out, where in mounted sdb6/sdb7. There is a command which tells about usage right?13:14
gbjkjrib: I know! And it's new.13:15
jribgbjk: after you've transferred stuff over to ~/.profile, we can discuss the other issue (xterm starting in /)13:15
jribsre-su: it doesn't matter where, anywhere13:15
ion_wildbad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567649/13:15
sre-sujrib: anywhere in / root?13:15
jribsre-su: that's one of the two possibilities, y.es13:15
gbjkjrib: I've done that. I logged out and back in. I removed any confusion. I run `xterm` at alt-f2 and I have SSH env vars. I run a keybaord shortcut that runs xterm and I don't.13:15
jribsre-su: the complaint is just that the device is full, so make it not full13:16

sirlarkHi, I'm running lucid server, and have apache2, php5, and pear-mail installed. When I visit a page that includes pear-mail immediately after booting the server, I get a php deprecation warning, despite having disabled deprecation warnings.

sosaitedPici, Yeah but that version is 1.13. 1.15 has some GUI improvements that I need.14:22
paGosbunower, f! I hate broadcom, have you checked their site about any drivers available?14:22
bunowernothing found until yet14:23
Zoffix_Ok, I got it. I needed to install `system-config-samba` to get the GUI config tool; I guess in the past it was auto-installed along with `samba`, which is why the author of the tut didn't mention it.14:23
Picisosaited: Right, but if you're installing all of the build dependencies from the repositories anyway, why not just use the apt-get command to find and install them automagically?14:23

IdrisIs it wise to upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10?15:26
mh22mkBluesKaj: cause im working on dhcp servers and stuff so i have made my own groupe wmNet0215:27
xxiaochecked a list of packages i just updated: vlc, libssl, login, passwd, libc-bin, and my Desktop asked for a reboot15:27
compdocdepends on if the newer version does somethign the old one doesnt15:27
iceroot_Idris: why you need to upgrade?15:27
coz_Idris,  many upgrade,,, I personally prefer clean installs15:27
xxiaono kernel was involved, not even a driver, why do I need reboot?15:27
c0ld@coz_ the reason I ask is cause blenders menus lag on me for some reason15:27
ikoniaxxiao: who says you need to reboot ?15:27
xxiaomore importantly, how can I get this notice if I do it over CLI15:27
coz_c0ld,  oh!   are you running compiz  at the same time?15:27
gnewbHow do I load or save a GPG/GNU to unlock or use as the passphrase key for any encrypted /sections that I may have?15:27
xxiaoikonia: the GUI update program15:27
iceroot_ikonia: openssl update needs a reboot15:27
ikoniaiceroot_: does it, ? I've updates SSL many times without an update15:28
iceroot_ikonia: sorry, libc i mean15:28
ikoniawithout a reboot15:28
xxiaoalso the button turns to red, reminds you a reboot is required on the top right15:28
Pumpkin-Idris: really a personal preference/objectives question. 10.04 is an LTS, so if you want long term stability, I'd stay with 10.04. If you want new features, I'd upgrade.15:28
ikoniaahh yes, libc good call15:28
FrenkI put tail -F /blal/bla - how do I end it?15:28
c0ldyes coz_15:28
Pumpkin-Frenk: ctrl-c15:28
xxiaoiceroot_: the problem is that, how can I know that if I'm using a CLI to manage my servers15:28
ikoniaFrenk: ctrl+c15:28
coz_c0ld,  try turning off compiz and see if you are getting the same "lag"  with the menus15:28
iceroot_xxiao: what?15:28

xxiaoikonia: how do you know if you need reboot after an update using only terminal?15:29
ikoniaxxiao: you learn from reading what's updated15:29
ikoniaxxiao: I believe some packages will give a message too15:29
vega-xxiao: the icon will turn red even when using command line15:29
Jordan_Uxxiao: You never need to reboot, it's just that you will not get the benefit of the newer libc (probably security) until you do.15:29
iceroot_xxiao: there is the package "debian-goodies" maybe its also for ubuntu. its telling you if you need a reboot after an upgrade15:29
xxiaothanks. need find that googies package15:30
iceroot_xxiao: there are 3 parts which needs a reboot. kernel, libc and dbus-update15:30
vega-Jordan_U: doesn't restarting necessary services do the same thing?15:30
IdrisIs it safe to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04 using a dial up connection?15:30
xxiaoi have headless servers ...15:30
xxiaoiceroot_: what about openssl?15:30
elricLIs there a seperate channel where i can Rant about natty or is this the right one?15:30
coz_Idris,  ooo   that one I am not sure of15:30
vega-xxiao: it should also tell you upon login that reboot necessary15:30
iceroot_xxiao: openssl doesnt need a reboot15:30
ikoniaelricL: no ranting is welcome15:30
iceroot_xxiao: just a restart of all daemons using ssl15:30
ikoniaelricL: #ubuntu+1 is a valid discussion channel15:30
Jordan_Uvega-: I'm not sure about libc.15:30
BluesKajelricL,  #ubuntu+115:30
elricLThank you15:31
DeRoSvOsHey guys, I'm booting using a Live CD and it asks me what I'd like to do, I choose "Rescue a Broken System" and it seems to put me back to a blue menu (CLI style ncurses) and seems like it wants to RE-INSTALL, asking me network settings, hostname, etc.15:31
vega-Jordan_U: might be yeah..15:31
DeRoSvOsAny idea why?15:31
IdrisCoz_, is there any advantage of the upgrade?15:31
iceroot_vega-: restarting services when you pull a libc update doesnt help, for libc you have to reboot15:31
xxiaothat problem is that , i need a notifier somehow tell me that i need a reboot after updating on my remote headless servers15:31
ikoniaDeRoSvOs: it's mnot a reinstall, it's setting up a recovery env15:31
iceroot_xxiao: debian-goodies15:31
BlueEaglevega-: The message that a reboot is required comes when security updates in the kernel have been automatically installed.15:31
DeRoSvOsikonia: Thank ya.15:31
BluesKajelricL, you'll just get the stock answer "it's still in alpa or beta" blah blah15:31
sipioriceroot_: no, when the processes restart, they will resolve and pick up the new (correct) glibc.15:31
Odaymthe aliased commands in 'alias' are always stored there once you 'alias run=runprogram.sh' for example?15:31
xxiaothanks. searching that15:31
iceroot_sipior: no15:31
gnewbDeRoSvOs: Did you try holding Shift on boot?15:32
iceroot_sipior: trust me, libc-update needs a reboot15:32
sipioriceroot_: i'm afraid so.15:32
vega-BlueEagle: no, not just the kernel, also other packages15:32
coz_Idris,  well  you are on the LTS right now... i n all honesty  I would stick with t hat until next LTS ...however ,,if you are like many of us,,, you want to try the newer stuff... then upgrade,,, but I still suggest  a clean install rather than an upgrade15:32
Pumpkin-vega-: no, it helps. when the processes restart, they will use the new libc. A reboot is the safest way to ensure EVERYTHING is using the new libc though.15:32
BlueEaglevega-: Oh. Well I did not know that. :)15:32
c0ld@coz_ how I disable compiz15:32
Odaymi know that the command to return to the beginning of a line on command line is "ctrl+A" but what's the one to go to the end of the line?15:32

Idriscoz_, thank you for your suggestion...15:33
Odaymbut about my question above, the aliases that show up when i "alias"15:33
coz_c0ld,    if you are on gnome   hit   alt+F2  type in    metacity --replace    when you want to restart compiz   hit  alt+F2     compiz --replace ccp&15:33
elricLBluesKaj: I understand its in alpha,but it doesnt mean it should be completely unusable.Crashed within 5 minutes of start,and to make matters worse,no Unity :x15:33
Odaymif i add one now, how long will it stay there?15:33
FrenkHow do i delete a certain IP from IPtables (fromm all possible chains)15:33
coz_c0ld,    compiz --replace ccp &15:33
BlueEaglevega-: Well they could have listed the services that had been updated and allowed you to just restart those.15:33
coz_c0ld,   or to restart compiz  you could log off then log on15:34
sipioriceroot_: instead of having me trust you, could you provide an argument as to why what you say is true?15:34
c0ldyah blender menus still lag15:34
c0ldIll try sharpconstruct15:34
coz_c0ld,  mnmm then I am not sure  what the issue is..15:34

Frenk I need your advice! I can not connect to a server, even I can not ping the server. I can tracoroute it and it ends one ip-adress before my server. then the connection is timed out. I cleared hosts.deny and all ip-table rules. The laptop can access any other website and service. =(17:15
llutzRico: you already did update-grub before?17:15

jectwhen i open the folder like download,music from place .  open the rythmbox automatically.  how i can change it into default.17:16

edbianYouKay, sudo aptitude -y safe-upgrade18:33
YouKayOh, many thanks edbian. Does -y make Yes to all commands?18:33
edbiansre-su, what you read is true.  Grub is 'the MBR issues'18:33

sre-suedbian: Will adding hdd2 after hdd1 affect any settings for grub/linux?18:34
sre-suedbian: apart from its detection after update-grub18:35
edbiansre-su, simply adding the hdd won't do anything.  Telling the bios to boot hdd2 will always just boot windows (cause hdd2 has the windows bootloader)18:35
edbiansre-su, what you want to do is continue booting hdd1 but tell grub to check for other OS's so that it can give you the option to boot them when you boot hdd118:35

jribWulfy: the decision not to run as root isn't primarily related to competence20:55
ohsixubuntu can use safe-rm as a wrapper; you can blacklist paths, but it's a silly concern20:55

ohsixhaving to type your own password is good enough for the transition, unless you have no sudoers20:58
ohsixRaj007: chances are it supports standard blocklists now that they have gui settings to change it, if so then you're looking for peerguardian lists or something like them; not transmission lists20:58
danubi have never idved into the differences between sudo and su, but they give me the same result (sudo apt-get update vs apt-get update while su). is sudo basically just a wrapper to elevate privlidges of non-root user?20:59

Pici_graham_: sorry, read. Brain confusion there ;)21:08
llutz_graham_: no need for execution-bit21:08
ohsixdoes wubi need to be "maintained"? it just has / on ntfs-3g and the kernel on ntfs21:09
danub_graham_: apache has to be able to see the path also. you can just put a line in your php to run '/home/graham/runme.php' if your home directory isn't accessible to apache21:09

inckieim trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on my htpc, with only my TV connected, but when i boot up the start cd, the tv goes to sleep mode21:09
fatninjaI'm sure there is.21:09
_graham_www-data user can def read the scripts - just confirmed that...21:10
ohsixfatninja: you can try booting the kernel manually from the grub prompt, or chroot into it from a livecd and update-grub/initramfs; dunno where instructions might be and i've no time to step by step it though21:10
_graham_Apache was offering the file as a download, so I was fairly certain that was the case anyway21:10
Jordan_Uohsix: There are some complications when finding the root.disk, especially in situation's with multiple disks/partitions. It's far from unsolveable, but it's a complex problem that requires dedicated time from an interested developer.21:11
ohsixfatninja: all your files should still be on your harddrive, you could just reinstall it as well; or access files you lost access to21:11

fatninjathe thing is that21:11
fatninjaI want to put it in a ntfs partition21:11

Jordan_Uohsix: You're welcome.21:11
_graham_index.php is the file in question for now21:12
_graham_Just straight "php" extension21:12
ohsixJordan_U: you could brute force it and add labels for everything in the menu entry for it in grub though :D21:12
danubfatninja: no. you cant put linux on the ntfs partition. the installer will seperate and repartition the disk (windows will be ntfs, linux will be ext3 (unless you choose different)21:12

danub_graham_: and .php is listed in the php config?21:13
ohsixJordan_U: well with grub2 brute forcing it would be a pretty decent compromise; once you boot into linux and grub is updated it'll obviously be able to find the image directly, so it'd just be ugly for a little while after install21:14
_graham_I thought so, but badly it seems.....21:14
_graham_<FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$"> is what it said before21:15
_graham_<FilesMatch "\.php$"> is what it says now, and it all works :)21:15
danubif the browser is prompting to download the file, it means that apache isn't handing the script off the php intrepreter or its filetype isn't listed in the php intrepretter as a type it should intrepret21:15
Jordan_Uohsix: Making an ugly hack like that would likely not take any less time / effort than doing it properly.21:15

afrodeityPici: sudo apt-get install pbuilder  returns "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "pbuilder""21:27
afrodeityPici: its supposed to be in main21:27
LittleJakubhow does THIS work? :P21:27
Piciafrodeity: Does apt-cache policy pbuilder  work?21:28
danubbumped it from 6 gigs to 10... now that i updated to 10.10, im at about 9 gigs used, i want to grow it to 15. i can add the space via vmware, but i cant remember how to make ubuntu see the extra space21:28
Grishnackh666when setting up a system config in mythbuntu the policykit pops up and asks for the root passwort...i have none?! what to do?21:28

calumWould running Ubuntu as a web server in a DMZ be a bad idea, in terms of network exploits?21:28
Piciafrodeity: What does uname -m  report?21:29
ohsixdanub: resize2fs21:29
danubcalum, running any webserver in the dmz has potential to be exploited (even not dmz'd)21:29
Klipoxohsix: When i run mkswap -U 1012e79e-ca93-47f5-914f-4094d55b3c62 i get "mkswap: error: Nowhere to set up swap on?"21:29
afrodeityPici: i68621:29
ohsixbut there's also the commandline version of parted; or the gui version, just runs the stuff for you21:29
ohsixKlipox: you need to specify the swap partition as well21:30
Piciafrodeity: hmm...21:30
calumdanub: So if I keep up patches and run a firewall to block all ports except 80, that will help?21:30

danubif you just keep it patched you should be fine21:30
ohsixcalum: if you block all but 80 how will you administer it21:30
ohsixcalum: just stop services you aren't using21:30
Klipoxohsix: Oh, Right :P21:31
calumDon't I only need 80 open for the server?21:31
triptecwhat is the prefered ftpd?21:31

PiciIdleOne: Thats entirely possible.21:31

PiciIdleOne: Good thinking :)21:31
=== Jare_ is now known as Jare
IdleOneI have my moments :)21:31
calumthats the only public internet service I want to run21:31
danubthe problem with firewalling your web-server is that it makes it easier to ddos you. and if you run some "auto-blocking" app that reads your logs, you need to make sure it can parse logs correctly or someone can effectively lock everyone out of your own server21:32
afrodeityIdleOne: Its listed, but not checked, so don't think so21:32
IdleOneafrodeity: sudo apt-get update & apt-cache search pbuilder21:32
IdleOneif it isn't there there is something very not right with your repos21:32
calumso that wouldn't stop a botnet with traffic headed for port 80?21:33
ohsixyou should just not run services you aren't using21:33
danubcalum: is this a personal site? or company site?21:33
Jarecalum: you might also be interested having shell/nx access (ssh 22) and https (443)21:33
calumI intend to only open 1 port and run http only21:33
calumpersonal server21:34
danubthen you shouldn't have to worry about botnets unless you piss off someone you shouldn't have21:34
ohsixyou probably have more to worry about from scripts running on the web server than anything else by an order of magnitude21:34
calumI do intend to run a cgi script on the server21:34
danubcalum: just make sure your system stays patched and your fine21:35
ohsixmy fine!21:35
calumI am sure I have the latest updates for the moment21:35
calumbut I will keep checking21:35
danubthen you should be good21:35
danubcalum, just put the updating in root's cron21:35
calumthanks for your advice danub21:36
danubhave it run every day at 0021:36
ohsixthat's a bad idea21:36
danubohsix: y?21:36
ohsixbecause you don't want everything just applied; theres a script for servers that do updates intelligently21:36
ohsixforget the name of it, b ut it's pulled in when you install ubuntu-server21:37
Jarecalum: anyway if you really want to inspect the traffic and/or selectively block ip addresses/packets, then you should make yourself familiar with Snort ids/ips21:37
abusaifhi every body21:37
calumare updates for Apache applied through Ubuntu's updater as usual?21:37
mickster04calum: if you didn't just download a .deb, yes21:37
stephansdoes anyone know when a fix for nm-applet will be out? I have a huge issue with mem leak... and when I went to post the issue in ubuntus ticket system there were already lots of others that had done so... This is a bad problem. 1.5 GIG after leaving the pc on for a day...21:37
ohsixsnort is kind of unmaintained, seriously, the biggest problem you can have is the scripts running on the server21:37
calumI got Apache from the repositories21:38
ohsixstephans: how did you measure the "leak"?21:38
mickster04calum: then as the repo's get updated, so will you21:38
danubcalum: then it will update with the system updates21:38

stephansohsix, by watching it in top for instance21:38
ohsixstephans: but, to answer your question, there is a network manager ppa that has updated stuff, but what you're seeing probably isn't a leak; a lot of people think a slowly growing VM size is a leak21:39
abusaif????21:39
stephansit keeps growing endlessly21:39

erossi do have a question, I can connect via DHCP wirelessly to the router, but if I try to go static it won't connect. I've tried editing /etc/network/interfaces and using the network manager windshieldwasher icon21:39

IdleOneafrodeity: any success?21:40
abusaifthanks21:40

GBGamesI'm using the time command to see how long it takes for an application to run, and the output gives three numbers: real, user, sys. I'm assuming user means the application's CPU time, and real gives me the actual clock time, but maybe I'm wrong. Is it reasonable to use "real" as "how long it takes based on the clock on the wall"?21:50
alpha7So of my drivers are not working with 64 bits ubuntu21:50

alpha7Is it possible I have 64 ubuntu and running 32 bit firefox or software or drivers?21:51
mickster04alpha7: yes21:52
ohsixalpha7: not drivers, a driver that works on 32bit but not 64bit is weird; is it a proprietary driver?21:52
Jordan_Ujoewefwef: For linux I can't think of any driver that is available for 32 bit which is not also available for 64 bit. The open source community tends to care a lot about 64 bit and portability in general.21:52

Guest88261Hi. How can I set double click for left down corner of synaptics touchpad?22:06
scampbellubergoober:  system -> preferences -> power settings22:06
maedoxDifesa: probably some "unsupported" gfx card. Search google for your gfx card with ubuntu and black screen. You might have to disable some module on startup, or install a driver from single-user mode.22:06

Jordan_UDifesa: Ignore any guide that suggests installing grub to a partition rather than the mbr, and any guide that recommends manual partitioning but does not explain that you should create a BIOS boot partition.22:07

iceroot_triptec_: chroot and use adduser23:24
Diamondcitemiddle: That might be adviseable, sudden crashes are odd, especially on fresh installs. Try to run it for 1-2 passes.23:24

DiamondciteAndorin: While I'm not expert, I beleive you CAN change it, remember to change /etc/passwd to match the new location of home. Some applications which are already installed and use absolute paths may break after moving /home, but that can be fixed with a symlink.23:40
