[00:00] <Docfxit> Bencahill That much I know. I followed the information at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html and it didn't work.
[00:00] <bencahill> Docfxit: brb
[00:00] <gardenia> ah ok a_p3rson . how do i do that. sorry im not familiar how to do it.
[00:00] <a_p3rson> gardenia: what client are you using?
[00:00] <Guest68446> someone in MENLO PARK ...
[00:01] <a_p3rson> gardenia: if you are using the freenode webchat interface, click on the first tab (the server one) and type         #xubuntu
[00:01] <gardenia> i don't understand what is a client . im just a girl. don't understand technical stuff
[00:01] <a_p3rson> !ontopic | Guest68446
[00:01] <Quex> ok
[00:02] <Quex> letdds so it
[00:02] <Guest68446> hey ... Gardenia is a flower name ...
[00:02] <[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] <Quex> im gonna make yoo a movie star, lovely
[00:02] <Quex> come to my hotel
[00:02] <a_p3rson> gardenia: type this:       /join #xubuntu
[00:02] <a_p3rson> !ontopic | Quex
[00:02] <Jordan_U> Quex: That is not apropriate, please stop.
[00:03] <IdleOne> !codeofconduct > Quex
[00:03] <a_p3rson> lol @ mass response...
[00:03] <bencahill> wow, alot of spam today
[00:04] <bencahill> Docfxit: back, one sec...
[00:04] <alesan> hi I wanted to mount my newly installed second hard disk so it goes in a specific directory
[00:04] <gardenia> ok thanks a_p3rson
[00:04] <alesan> I noticed that in fstab there are UUIDs instead of device names
[00:04] <alesan> how am I supposed to work with UUIDs?
[00:04] <bencahill> Docfxit: !paste /etc/network/interfaces , please
[00:04] <jow_otro> Got change my name ...
[00:05] <bencahill> alesan: you can do either, but uuid's are better, why do you ask?
[00:05] <jrib> !uuid | alesan
[00:05] <jow_otro> Gardenia ... Is it a flower name ???
[00:05] <bencahill> !ot | jow_otro
[00:05] <alesan> bencahill, how do I get the UUID for my new hard disk?
[00:05] <alesan> bencahill, what if I change hard disks?
[00:05] <bencahill> alesan: what ubottu said, sudo blkid
[00:05] <BiPolah> alesan: You can get your drive UUID by typing "blkid" in your terminal
[00:05] <bencahill> alesan: read the link by ubottu above ^^
[00:06] <BiPolah> Bencahill: You don't need to have sudo on it.
[00:06] <alesan> thanks jrib I will read that! that will probably answer all my questions
[00:06] <bencahill> BiPolah: oh, that's what I've always read :-/
[00:06] <alesan> if you give me A SECOND I can read everything
[00:06] <BiPolah> bencahill: I saw that too, but it works fine for me without it.
[00:06] <bencahill> alesan: take your time :)
[00:06] <bencahill> BiPolah: o_o root shell?
[00:07] <jow_otro> bencahill, sorry ... I don't understand english well ... now I got the message ...
[00:07] <jrib> BiPolah: you're right, though I believe I remember sudo being required when it was first introduced
[00:07] <zhoste> anybody know of a good bittorrent client or bittorrent client addon that i can access through ssh and keep track of?
[00:07] <zhoste> preferably something with a progressbar.
[00:07] <jrib> zhoste: rtorrent?  btdownloadcurses?
[00:08] <BiPolah> Bencahill: Nope
[00:08] <zhoste> does rtorrent have progress bars now?
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> zhoste: 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] <BiPolah> Can just leave ubottu how it is, it still works with sudo
[00:08] <zhoste> i've been trying to get transmission-remote-cli to work for a few hours. it won't let me ssh in.
[00:08] <peaveyman> I 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 boot
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> zhoste: i've not used it at cli, i always use web interface
[00:09] <Jordan_U> peaveyman: Yes.
[00:09] <peaveyman> That's what I thought, Jordan_U
[00:09] <bowser22> k guys im flippin right now
[00:09] <a_p3rson> peaveyman: 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 windows
[00:10] <bowser22> heres my issue
[00:10] <bencahill> BiPolah: blkid (no sudo) doesn't print anything on stdout for me
[00:10] <peaveyman> Is there any reason not to install the 64bit version
[00:10] <BiPolah> Peavey: 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 reinstalled
[00:10] <BiPolah> Bencahill: What version are you running?
[00:10] <bencahill> peaveyman: flash, and some others...
[00:10] <bencahill> BiPolah: 10.10
[00:10] <peaveyman> so 64bit flash doesn't work
[00:10] <zhoste> ActionParsnip: does btdownloadcurses have a config file i can edit? it looks good, but i'd like to not see some of the information it displays.
[00:11] <bowser22> i have 10.0.0.4 installed and a sb live card. i have a program running that will take sound from the line in and synthesize it and oputput to lineout or speaker out, problem is the line in just loops back out and plays through the speakers!
[00:11] <Jordan_U> bencahill: 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] <jrib> peaveyman: 64bit flash does work
[00:11] <bencahill> !64-bit | peaveyman
[00:11] <jrib> Jordan_U: makes sense I guess
[00:11] <peaveyman> ok, thanks
[00:11] <bowser22> can anyone help?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> zhoste: not one i've used, sorry
[00:11]  * jrib likes « ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ » anyway
[00:11] <bencahill> Jordan_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 blkid
[00:12] <bencahill> jrib: whatever works :)
[00:12] <BiPolah> Bencahill: That would just be running it as sudo, since it elevates privileges for a short time, not a single command
[00:12] <victor_> Ola pessoal meu picasa nao inicia, jah tentei reinstalar e nada... segue o erro >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/567517/
[00:12] <mneptok> BiPolah: incorrect
[00:12] <bencahill> BiPolah: no, sudo is for a command
[00:13] <bencahill> BiPolah: where did you get this idea?
[00:13] <barf> Which command line tool to use to set the console resolution? http://www.cyberciti.biz/files/linux-kernel/Documentation/svga.txt
[00:13] <bencahill> barf: you could adjust it on boot
[00:13] <bencahill> !grub2 | barf
[00:14] <BiPolah> Bencahill: I remember having run several apt-gets to install/remove programs without typing sudo for all of them. Perhaps I'm recalling it wrongly

[00:14] <bencahill> BiPolah: and... ?
[00:14] <bowser22> i have 10.0.0.4 installed and a sb live card. i have a program running that will take sound from the line in and synthesize it and oputput to lineout or speaker out, problem is the line in just loops back out and plays through the speakers!
[00:14] <miketomdool> bipolah did you use sudo -i first?
[00:14] <zhoste> umm...my wife just stole my truck. :(
[00:14] <maco2> BiPolah: i thought it was in 10.10 that pitivi was added and gimp was removed from default ubuntu...
[00:14] <bencahill> !ot | zhoste
[00:15] <BiPolah> Bencahill & Miketomdool: Nope, just regular sudo apt-get etc.
[00:15] <BiPolah> Maco2: There's no GIMP in 10.10 by default certainly, but I don't remember ever having Pitivi
[00:15] <gardenia> it works. thanks for the tip. someone in xubuntu helped me.
[00:15] <zhoste> staying on topic isn't something i generally do...
[00:16] <mneptok> zhoste: then this channel is not for you.
[00:16] <miketomdool> idk how you managed to do it without sudo... but ok
[00:16] <bencahill> zhoste: doesn't matter
[00:16] <bencahill> !guidelines | zhoste
[00:16] <StFS> Hi. 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 hdd
[00:17] <felix_dusx_12> hi... someone has a good tutorial about postfix
[00:17] <bencahill> felix_dusx_12: was that intended to be a question?
[00:17] <BiPolah> StFS: I believe it would take the MBR from whichever drive it's set to boot from
[00:17] <felix_dusx_12> sth like that
[00:17] <maco2> BiPolah: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.manifest
[00:18] <root_> hello
[00:18] <felix_dusx_12> i have problems installing  postfix
[00:18] <a_p3rson> !hello | root_
[00:18] <felix_dusx_12> i am trying to use postfix with nagios
[00:18] <bencahill> !root | root_
[00:18] <bencahill> man...
[00:18] <Docfxit> bencahill what I tried for network static configuration is at http://pastebin.com/cEhdLrWT
[00:18] <Jordan_U> StFS: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
[00:19] <Jordan_U> StFS: And in the future you should use grub-install rather than using grub-setup directly.
[00:19] <BiPolah> Maco2: 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] <Docfxit> bencahill When I re-booted Ubuntu wiped out everything below the 2nd line.
[00:19] <StFS> Jordan_U: ahh... thank you kind sir ;-)
[00:20] <Jordan_U> StFS: You're welcome.
[00:20] <mneptok> Docfxit: really? the subnet is 168.168?
[00:20] <barf> Is there a command line tool to see current video mode in use for the console? http://www.cyberciti.biz/files/linux-kernel/Documentation/svga.txt
[00:20] <bencahill> Docfxit: running gnome?
[00:21] <Docfxit> mneptok yes
[00:21] <Docfxit> bencahill not that I know of.
[00:21] <mneptok> Docfxit: and the router/gateway is, in fact, 192.168.168.168?
[00:21] <bencahill> Docfxit: cli then?
[00:21] <Docfxit> mneptok yes
[00:21] <bencahill> mneptok: heh :P
[00:21] <MC8> lol
[00:21] <bencahill> Docfxit: where did you get this info?
[00:22] <Docfxit> bencahill I have a number of PC's on my LAN all configured that way.
[00:23] <mneptok> Docfxit: those values are very, very strange. most gateways are at .1
[00:23] <Docfxit> bencahill I'm not sure about network and broadcast for windows I don't configure those.
[00:23] <bencahill> Docfxit: so are you running a cli then?
[00:23] <bencahill> Docfxit: that's quite obvious
[00:23] <bubu> any channel for helping with screen resolution?
[00:24] <Docfxit> I don't know what cli is.
[00:24] <BiPolah> Default router address is typically 192.168.1.1
[00:24] <mneptok> Docfxit: the values you say you use elsewhere, how did you get them? did you enter them statically in another OS, or ... ?
[00:24] <rudolph> plugging my mytouch 4g does not show on desktop but I see it in Computer but can not access it.
[00:24] <BiPolah> Rudolph: Is it mounting at all?
[00:25] <Docfxit> mneptok yes. I run everything static on my lan.
[00:25] <Docfxit> LAN.
[00:25] <rudolph> Not on desktop
[00:25] <BiPolah> Rudolph: If you right click it does it give you the option to unmount it or mount it?
[00:25] <Dougdoug4> guys
[00:25] <Dougdoug4> quick question
[00:25] <Dougdoug4> I'm editing my kernel so i can make it so i boot into single user mode
[00:26] <Dougdoug4> where do i add the word 'single' in this set of lines i've got
[00:26] <feyd> is there a way to control GTK themes in a session file?
[00:26] <Docfxit> mneptok For a SonicWall router the default LAN Gateway is 192.168.168.168
[00:26] <Dougdoug4> the guide i'm reading says 'add at the end of the kernel line'
[00:26] <Dougdoug4> i'm not sure which line is the kernel line
[00:26] <bubu> i have problems for changing my screen resolution. I have a fujitsu-siemens laptop. Any sugestion?
[00:26] <bastidrazor> Dougdoug4: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"   add text inside the quotes.
[00:26] <rudolph_> When plugged in, the only place I see it is Computer and I can unmount it but not access it at all.
[00:26] <bastidrazor> Dougdoug4: in the file /etc/default/grub
[00:27] <Dougdoug4> NO
[00:27] <mneptok> Docfxit: so you enter these values in /etc/network.interfaces and then what happens?
[00:27] <Dougdoug4> bastidrazor
[00:27] <BiPolah> Rudolph: What version of iOS are you running on it?
[00:27] <Dougdoug4> I was at the grub menu
[00:27] <Dougdoug4> I clicked 'e' to edit the kernel
[00:27] <Dougdoug4> i'm at that menu right now
[00:27] <Dougdoug4> the only line that contains quiet splash is this one
[00:27] <bubu> hey dude could anyone please help me
[00:28] <Dougdoug4> "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=UUID-c58-23582(more numbers)\ca more numbers ro    quiet splash
[00:28] <Dougdoug4> "
[00:28] <ricorx7> ask bubu
[00:28] <ricorx7> thats the line doug
[00:28] <Dougdoug4> so i just add 'single' too the end of quiet splash?
[00:28] <rudolph_> BiPolah I am not certain. It showed on the desktop last week but not now. Can I manually mount and if so how?
[00:28] <miketomdool> bubu try downloading drivers from the company website
[00:28] <Dougdoug4> Yea ricorx7? Just make it "ro    quiet splash single"
[00:28] <bubu> ok
[00:28] <Docfxit> mneptok I rebot the PC because I can't figure out how to restart the network. After it reboots all the lines in interfaces are wiped out except for the first 2 lines.
[00:28] <BiPolah> Rudolph_: Grab libimobiledevice1
[00:29] <mneptok> Docfxit: ls -l /etc/network/interfaces
[00:29] <bubu> i just need to change the resolution
[00:29] <mneptok> Docfxit: and you're running with no GUI, right?
[00:29] <rudolph_> Okay. I will try  that
[00:29] <bencahill> Docfxit: if you're using gnome, right click on the nm applet, and configure it from there
[00:29] <ricorx7> doug: ya
[00:29] <BiPolah> Rudolph_: Then remount it
[00:29] <bubu> company website wont work
[00:30] <ChaosR> hello people, when my screen goes into standby (not computer), it sometimes refuses to wake up again. SSH still works, and will show X using 100% CPU. restarting GDM does not work, and killing X is impossible (even with kill -KILL). it is however not limited to standby, occurs rarely on normal screensaver too, anybody knows how to solve this?
[00:30] <rudolph_> This program,  libimobiledevice1, is already installed.
[00:30] <miketomdool> bubu i dont know what it is in ubuntu but under the administrative section is there "Monitors"
[00:31] <mneptok> ChaosR: stop using screensavers and just blank the screen. the OpenGL accelerated screensavers are killing you.
[00:31] <bencahill> Docfxit: here, it looks like this: ↑↓
[00:31] <[Coke]> ChaosR: i have a similar problem with my netbook after the upgrade to 10.x
[00:31] <ChaosR> mneptok: blank screen does the same thing
[00:31] <bubu> no
[00:31] <bencahill> Docfxit: right click that, and click edit connections
[00:31] <bencahill> Docfxit: but why are you not using dhcp?
[00:31] <bubu> hey mike whats the link men
[00:31] <mneptok> bencahill: because (s)he does not want to?
[00:32] <mneptok> bencahill: if an OS cannot work with static IPs, it's a crap OS. full stop.
[00:32] <bencahill> mneptok: I doubt they understand basic networking
[00:32] <bowser22> i have 10.0.0.4 installed and a sb live card. i have a program running that will take sound from the line in and synthesize it and oputput to lineout or speaker out, problem is the line in just loops back out and plays through the speakers!
[00:32] <bencahill> mneptok: who said an os can't work with static ip's?

[00:33] <stags> curious about experiences that any have had running all linux servers with windows clients
[00:33] <mneptok> Docfxit: do you have a grpahical user interface?
[00:33] <miketomdool> bubu its under system->preferences->Display
[00:33] <bencahill> wow
[00:33] <duke3d> bencahill, installing windows 7 now, ubuntu afterwards
[00:34] <bencahill> duke3d: just do it like that, and you'll be good, ubuntu will detect the win7 install and add a boot item for it
[00:34] <bencahill> duke3d: just don't do ubuntu, then win7
[00:34] <ricorx7> bubu mine is under Syste->preferences->monitor
[00:34] <bubu> ok

[00:35] <bencahill> duke3d: yep :)
[00:35] <zaibach333> how do I install the generic display drivers from console?
[00:35] <mneptok> (or whatever that is)
[00:35] <ricorx7> bubu: look at system->administration->Additional Drivers
[00:36] <bencahill> mneptok, bubu: no, Additional Drivers :P
[00:36] <Docfxit> mneptok no.
[00:36] <ricorx7> different menu options

[00:43] <boxbeatsy> bencahill: trying to access the US google.com from an overseas IP dynamically
[00:43] <Guest9850> hey all
[00:43] <boxbeatsy> bencahill: so i need to skip the DNS lookup
[00:43] <Dougdoug4> when running ubuntu in recovery mode, it still wants a root password from me
[00:43] <Dougdoug4> And I need to reset my root password, help?!
[00:44] <bencahill> !root | Dougdoug4
[00:44] <hylian> does anyone know how i can gain priveleges to /etc/fstab? (not sudo gedit or chmod a+x)
[00:44] <mneptok> boxbeatsy: IP will not help. Google does geolocation. set your Google prefs to always use English
[00:44] <Dougdoug4> I typed sudo for god sake
[00:44] <Dougdoug4> the little thing says
[00:44] <boxbeatsy> mneptok: i've alrady tried.  accessing the US IP does work
[00:44] <boxbeatsy> i just don't know how to get a complete list
[00:44] <Dougdoug4> "Give root password for maintenance (or type Ctrl-D to continue):"
[00:44] <Dougdoug4> I type sudo, it says login incorrect
[00:44] <boxbeatsy> if you type in dig www.google.com you get 5 sample IP's google.com resolves to
[00:44] <Dougdoug4> what do i do
[00:44] <bencahill> hylian: well, if you can't edit it with sudo, it must be mounted as ro
[00:45] <bencahill> hylian: ...I did that once :P
[00:45] <Logan_WP> !enter | Dougdoug4
[00:45] <Guest9850> hello
[00:45] <maco2> bencahill: or chattr'd to immutable
[00:45] <bencahill> maco2: ?
[00:45] <hylian> bencahill: 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 change
[00:46] <karim2> how come when the group of a user is change the files owned by that user is not also changed to that group?
[00:46] <bencahill> hylian: try sudo mkdir /tester
[00:46] <maco2> bencahill: if you chattr +i (set the immutable bit) you cant modify the file regardless of other permissions
[00:46] <Logan_WP> !addingfs | hylian
[00:46] <bencahill> maco2: but not if the drive is mounted as ro :)
[00:46] <Mrokii> Guest9850: As nobody else seems to care... Hello :)
[00:46] <maco2> bencahill: right, but im saying ro isnt the only possible explanation for a file being ro
[00:47] <maco2> bencahill: erm, i mean a ro partition isnt the only possible...
[00:47] <bencahill> maco2: yes, but I think it is in this case
[00:47] <bencahill> maco2: it is = it is most likely
[00:47] <bencahill> :)
[00:47] <Guest9850> Mrokii: hello ty I am wondering why its not identifying me I have a user a pw
[00:47] <boxbeatsy> er, does anyone know what's going on behind the scenes with the dig command?
[00:47] <Logan_WP> !ot | Guest9850
[00:47] <feyd> is there a way to control GTK themes in a session file? Select a certain session, have it load a GTK theme different than another session
[00:47] <boxbeatsy> undrestanding that would help me determine a way to get the full list maybe
[00:47] <bencahill> boxbeatsy: man dig?
[00:47] <Guest9850> Mrokii: trying to sort it out atm
[00:48] <hylian> bencahill: i can't umount that drive, but i can see the contents, and i can even open a file using nano, for instance.
[00:48] <ricorx7> hylian: you have to sudo to umount
[00:48] <bencahill> hylian: what drive? this isn't /?
[00:49] <barf> On a text based base install of ubuntu, will apt-get install nautilus give me the smallest possible install of GNOME?
[00:49] <bencahill> ricorx7: unless it's users
[00:49] <hylian> ricorx7: i sudo'd. thanks.
[00:49] <doolph> hi
[00:49] <Mrokii> Guest9850: I don't know unfortunately. I'm not really an expert regarding Ubuntu. Hopefully somebody else on this channel can help. But are you sure that you are entering the right password and username?
[00:49] <bencahill> barf: gnome != small
[00:49] <bencahill> barf: what are you trying to acheive?
[00:49] <hylian> bencahill: yes, it would be /
[00:49] <doolph> anyone can help me install Internet Explorer 7 or 8 or 9
[00:49] <bencahill> s/acheive/achieve/
[00:49] <jahrome_> help! my gnome is corrupt after installing wine
[00:49] <Starminn> boxbeatsy:" dig +all www.google.com" gave me seven results.

[00:49] <krycek> FF
[00:49] <krycek> :)
[00:49] <bencahill> hylian: then don't try to umount it, the drive you're running on
[00:49] <jahrome_> when i go to plaes wine start with error "file not found"
[00:49] <maco2> krycek: obfuscated swearing is still swearing. please don't.
[00:50] <bencahill> !language | krycek
[00:50] <hylian> bencahill and ricorx7 i'll be right back, im going to boot of the cd and change fstab, brb
[00:50] <jahrome_> sorry, Places

[00:50] <hylian> exit
[00:50] <barf> bencahill: To install Ubuntu with GUI on a 1GB SSD
[00:50] <bencahill> hylian: yes, that's what you need to do
[00:50] <bencahill> man
[00:50] <bencahill> barf: ?
[00:50] <bencahill> barf: try openbox
[00:51] <bencahill> barf: what specs computer?
[00:51] <Guest9850> ok this is better
[00:51] <Guest9850> hmm maybe not
[00:51] <gnewb> barf: There are some pre written scripts that can do something like that, edit and use at your own discretion and always make a backup before doing such things.
[00:51] <lov> Hi, I'm trying to install getlibs using 10.10 x86_64. However, getlibs, get-libs, and variations thereof don't seem to exist in my repos.
[00:51] <lov> Do I need to point to some older repos to get getlibs?
[00:52] <bryhoyt1> Hi, 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] <barf> bencahill: I am debootstrapping Ubuntu onto a Samsung SyncMaster 400PXn
[00:52] <bencahill> does ubuntu use (terminology) x86_64? I thought it was "amd64"...
[00:52] <bencahill> barf: why ubuntu?
[00:53] <sacarlson> boxbeatsy: I guess you could try install bind9 and backup the cache over time?
[00:53] <barf> bencahill: I prefer apt based distros
[00:53] <barf> I usually use ubuntu
[00:53] <gnewb> barf: Try Lubuntu
[00:54] <sacarlson> boxbeatsy: problem with ip's is that they change, like mine changes ever 24 hours
[00:55] <Starminn> I've got some runaway processe somewhere. When all applications are closed my CPU's running at 50% with no apps running. How do I identify and kill these meany heads?

[00:57] <Guest9850> lets see if it worked this time
[00:57] <lov> Hi, I'm trying to install getlibs using 10.10 x86_64. However, getlibs, get-libs, and variations thereof don't seem to exist in my repos. Do I need to add an older repo to import it? I can't seem to even find a .deb either.
[00:57] <KGBWolf> i want to remove super block last mount time from stopping my systems from booting
[00:57] <boxbeatsy> ah ok, so i figured out i can specify a specific DNS server to query with dig, and i get new results for different DNS servers, so now i just need to figure out how to get a list of DNS servers..
[00:58] <Guest9850> Hello
[00:58] <Starminn> boxbeatsy: Not that I can contribute anything to your problem, but does "man dig" not reveal anything useful?
[00:59] <bowser22> benca
[00:59] <boxbeatsy> Starminn: ya, i just finished reading the manual, am trying to go from there
[00:59] <bowser22> using dsd 1.4

[01:08] <hylian> hey guys, fixed my problem. i used my simply mepis usb key and undid my fstab damage.
[01:10] <hylian> bencahill, man, i appreciate the help, but how can you ask me if i am connected to the internet, when i am using an internet protocol to talk to you?
[01:10] <barf> Hmm, is there a way to turn off default vga mode? GRUB uses the right one, but as soon as kernel loads, it’s changed to something redonkulous
[01:10] <hylian> !irc
[01:11] <boxbeatsy> w00t ok, so what i did was grab a list of public DNS servers, and then i'm using dig to resolve DNS for google.com for all of them and ocmpiling a list.  thanks for the help guys :)
[01:11] <hylian> bye
[01:16] <Docfxit> I would like to install a program called double commander. Would the command sudo dpkg -i doublecmd.deb be correct?
[01:16] <mitch_> way.deepbondi.net
[01:16] <mitch_> server speedway.deepbondi.net
[01:16] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, usually yes
[01:17] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ I'm getting an error saying dpkg: error processing doublecmd.deb
[01:18] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, well.... happens sometimes
[01:18] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ cannot access archive: no such file or directory
[01:18] <rumpe1_> hmm... typo? ... use tab-completion
[01:18] <thefinn93> How do i configure rsyslog to listen for remote logs? or is there a better program that I should try?
[01:18] <ghost_> does anyone know a site that sell computer parts for netbooks for good price
[01:19] <Logan_WP> !ot | ghost_
[01:20] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ I sent an email to the author. He replied "You can try to install it manually from *.deb packages."
[01:20] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, is it your first time in the terminal?
[01:21] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, the .deb has to appear, if you type "ls" ... and there mustn't be any type of typo
[01:21] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ no. But I'm not working with Ubuntu very often.
[01:22] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, also unlike windows uppercase and lowercase characters are different
[01:23] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ I have nothing in uppercase.
[01:23] <thefinn93> does anyone know anything about rsyslog, such as where it stores remote logs?
[01:23] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ Where does .deb have to appear?
[01:24] <Logan_WP> thefinn93: I would ask that in #rsyslog
[01:24] <thefinn93> Logan_WP: great, thanks
[01:24] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, in the same directory as you ... or you have to use dpkg -i /path/to/file/file.deb
[01:26] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ I'm guessing you think the package is on this PC? I don't think it was downloaded yet.
[01:26] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, lol... that's the reason ^^
[01:27] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ How can I find the correct repository and download and install Double Commander?
[01:27] <VAPA> anyone willing to answer few noobish questions..Im moving from win to linux for the first time so I wanna get some info
[01:27] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, 32bit?
[01:28] <rumpe1_> VAPA, just ask
[01:28] <coz_> VAPA,   what are the questions?
[01:28] <VAPA> mkay
[01:28] <Docfxit> Rumpe1_ yes
[01:28] <sacarlson> Docfxit: I normaly just double click the deb file in nautilus after I down load it from my browser
[01:28] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, gnome?
[01:28] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ no.
[01:28] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, so... kde?
[01:28] <VAPA> Im going to instal it on a laptop..checked on the net few ubuntu versions..I kinda like more desktop version than netbook..there wont be any issues instaling desct vers on laptop ?
[01:29] <coz_> VAPA,  no issues should come up
[01:29] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ what is kde?
[01:29] <Logan_WP> !kde | Docfxit
[01:29] <tlab> anyone have luck with a rt8192SEvB wireless card in ubuntu?
[01:29] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, your desktop environment
[01:29] <coz_> VAPA,  are you going for a dual boot   windows + ubuntu?
[01:29] <VAPA> nah..only linux
[01:29] <bencahill> Docfxit: does your desktop look like this? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/UbuntuMaverickDesktop.png
[01:29] <coz_> VAPA,  ok   what is the video on that system?
[01:30] <VAPA> got separate gaming machine with win for games and win baseds tuff
[01:30] <VAPA> hmm.. nvidia 9100
[01:30] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, i mean... there are gtk and qt versions for doublecommander... gtk is better for gnome, qt for kde   (afaik)
[01:30] <VAPA> mobile edition..nothing much..old laptop
[01:30] <coz_> VAPA,   then  there really should be no issue at all
[01:30] <VAPA> 2gb ddr2 ram..and athlon 62 x2
[01:30] <VAPA> athlong 64 *
[01:30] <VAPA> good
[01:30] <bencahill> VAPA: aw, you call that old? come on..
[01:30] <coz_> VAPA,   sounds fine... did youi already download the iso image?
[01:30] <Docfxit> bencahill yes it does.
[01:31] <bencahill> Docfxit: then you're running gnome
[01:31] <VAPA> coz_ now question about image :D
[01:31] <coz_> VAPA,   ok
[01:31] <coz_> VAPA,  there are several options
[01:31] <Docfxit> bencahill Oh great. Thanks for clearing that up.
[01:31] <bencahill> lol
[01:31] <coz_> VAPA,   you can download the live cd   the alternate cd or the  minimal install cd
[01:31] <coz_> VAPA,   the live cd will allow you to boot into ubuntu and test on the system
[01:32] <VAPA> on the site its 700mb large..but I see torrents with 2gb..4gb iso images..some called ultimate..and so on..are there benefits from getting those large ones..I mean more hardware supported and stuff..
[01:32] <jake_> Hello i am trying to get a a chat spammer
[01:32] <bencahill> !ot | jake_
[01:32] <coz_> VAPA,  well since you are starting off in linux I would simply download the live cd
[01:33] <coz_> VAPA,  when you do download that  ,, if possible.,.. burn it at  1x  speed
[01:33] <VAPA> 1x O.o
[01:33] <bencahill> VAPA: or lowest possible
[01:33] <VAPA> ok
[01:33] <VAPA> tnx
[01:33] <coz_> VAPA,  this will insure  fewer to no  burn issues
[01:33] <bencahill> VAPA: the slower the better, otherwise you will spend much more time burning more cds
[01:33] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, try this: "wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/doublecmd/files/DC%20for%20Linux%2032%20bit/Double%20Commander%200.4.5%20beta/doublecmd_0.4.5-1.gtk2_i386.deb/download ; sudo dpkg -i download"
[01:34] <barf> Is here anything to tell me which VGA mode is used before the kernel is loaded? http://pastie.org/private/88c42cuzekjik0sesw3w0a
[01:35] <VAPA> purpose of the lap is broswing..listening music..watching movies..and small gaming..2 games.. warcraft3 and pes6..ive seen guys running them using Wine..but havent saw them running fullscren..everyone just play from a window..can Wine work in fullscreen
[01:35] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, but it doesn't seem to work on my ubuntu... :/
[01:35] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, i mean doublecmd
[01:37] <BitWraith> is there a way I can obtain a list of files that were installed with a certain package?
[01:37] <rumpe1_> BitWraith, dpkg -L packagename    *i guess*
[01:37] <popkorn> have lost grub2 menu, get command line at boot. have update-grub and update-initramfs . still no menu.
[01:37] <craigbass1976> instead of a honking name that dyndns gave me, I'd rather type in something short, like myhomebox.  In /etc/hosts, I can only put in ip addys and names, not names and names.  How do I get around this?
[01:38] <bc81_> is it possible to purge config files for programs already removed using apt-get remove??  (like some kind of "auto-purge" function)??
[01:38] <bc81_> or must i clean up manually
[01:39] <Logan_WP> !grub2 | popkorn
[01:39] <rumpe1_> bc81, which config-files e.g.?
[01:39] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps
[01:39] <moes> I have a sata driver file I downloaded to ubuntu 10.04...What program can use to burn to floppy disc
[01:40] <Docfxit> rumpe1_ I get an error when I try to install it.
[01:40] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: bind9 can do cname lookup name to name  I'm not sure you want to go through all the trouble to setup a local bind9 just to do that though
[01:40] <gnewb> moes: You may want to look at Minimal.
[01:40] <popkorn> Logan_WP: ty i'll try those
[01:40] <Eryn_1983_FL> how do i get my wfi networking  to work in flux box and  how do i get my power management to work in there ?
[01:40] <rumpe1_> Docfxit, well... me too (something with "menu_proxy_module_load")
[01:40] <gnewb> !minimal | moes
[01:41] <craigbass1976> sacarlson, no.  I was hoping a quickie like putting a line in hosts.  Is there something I can do in my bash profile?
[01:41] <lolcat> gnewb: There are smaller, the usb netinst, is just like, 1MB!
[01:41] <bc81_> rumpe1_: well, i installed a "ton" of apps, games etc.  tried them out, kept what i liked, apt-get removed the rest...but most left behind all kinds of litter (~/.foo) in the way of config files
[01:41] <Logan_WP> Eryn_1983_FL: I would ask that in #fluxbox
[01:41] <Eryn_1983_FL> lol
[01:41] <gnewb> lolcat: True, I forgot about that one.
[01:42] <rumpe1_> bc81, you always have to remove configs in $HOME manually
[01:42] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: not that I know of, and what about your gui apps even if there was a way to do that?
[01:42] <Eryn_1983_FL> trying
[01:42] <thr33kb> hello all, what are you doing this late?
[01:43] <craigbass1976> sacarlson, gui apps like what?  I'm not even sure what to google for...  Everything I find is for putting an ip in hosts
[01:43] <lolcat> gnewb: Think that all of ubuntu cna be fitted inside a 1MB thing! It is AMAZING! Amazing I tell yoU!
[01:43] <Logan_WP> !ot | thr33kb
[01:43] <rumpe1_> lolcat, well... not all of ;)
[01:43] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: like firefox (gui app)  and synaptic.... vnc  many  oh isn't there like bookmarks?
[01:44] <bc81_> rumpe1_: ok, i was afraid of that.  but should i use "apt-get --purge remove <package>" in the future, to remove the packages along with their config files/folders?
[01:44] <thr33kb> ubottu: ok sorry
[01:44] <rumpe1_> bc81, that will only remove configs in /etc (e.g.) ... still not in $HOME
[01:44] <craigbass1976> sacarlson, but I'm only ever getting at this box via ssh.  I can just cat my bash history and grep for part of the dyndns hostname, but it's a pain
[01:45] <hylian> can xlinks2 support flash player? i can't find a defintive yes or no...
[01:45] <bc81_> rumpe1_: that's rather frustrating..next time i'll have to remember to set up a "test" user account to experiment :-(
[01:45] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: create a bash script to ssh into your box?
[01:45] <rumpe1_> bc81, whats the problem?
[01:45] <gnewb> lolcat: Is that like the Debian NetIsnatll ?
[01:46] <moes> gnewb, What I need is a program like k3b but capable of burning my file to floppy disc to use for reinstalling windows xp
[01:46] <craigbass1976> sacarlson, I thought of that, but then I'd have to write another one for scp I guess...
[01:46] <rumpe1_> bc81, if some configs seem to be broken, just (re)move the ~.applicationsconfigs-folder
[01:46] <gnewb> moes: That is listed on the Ubuntu Install sight..one moment..
[01:46] <bc81_> rumpe1_: the problem is now i have to sift through a million folders to find what i need in ~/.*
[01:47] <hylian> craigbass1976: you can use gedit to add something like this: ssh yourlogin@ubuntu.com, then save it, and the in terminal chmod a+x filename, and then ./filename
[01:47] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: ok well if those are the only two command you will use maybe a bash alias will work
[01:47] <craigbass1976> sacarlson, bash alias...  googling

[01:47] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: or in this case two bash alias
[01:47] <bc81_> rumpe1_: nothing is broken, just my home folder looks like a landfill of configs
[01:47] <overclucker> yeah, you could alias it, or store it in a variable
[01:48] <rumpe1_> bc81, ...hidden configs...
[01:48] <hylian> bc81_: try holding control and hitting h. it sounds like you accidentally turned on "see hidden files and folders"
[01:48] <gnewb> moes: And here:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[01:49] <hylian> does anyone know if xlinks2 can support flash player's plugin? i can't find a definitive yes or no...
[01:49] <overclucker> instead of storing addresses in hosts, sometimes I add a line to .bashrc, something like export myhost="192.168.0.2"
[01:49] <overclucker> then access it with $myhost
[01:49] <bc81_> hylian: i know about that, but the point is......nevermind.
[01:50] <hylian> bc81_: ohh, maybe i missed the point, sorry.
[01:50] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: I see an example if you didn't find a better one http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/sample-bashrc.html
[01:50] <moes> gnewb, I guess I am not making myself clear I already have utuntu clear....I only want to burn a file from ubuntu documents to floppy drive disc
[01:50] <hylian> i'm using inx and loving it!
[01:51] <gnewb> moes: Oh ok, one moment please...

[01:52] <bjv> help! how do you mount one of your spare partitions (eg, by-uuid/a6fa*) over SSH? I have no keyboard/mouse bc of a house fire.  I have connected my machine to my girlfriends netbook via aa crossover cable, i just clicked 'share connection' on her ethernet. i can ssh into my pc and run nautilus, but i do not see the normal (mount/eject) items in sidebar, help!
[01:53] <bjv> only unusable mountpoints in /media/ ?    something is not running... what is the ubuntu mounting tool called?
[01:54] <rumpe1_> bjv, "mount"
[01:54] <HerCury> bjv: mount
[01:54] <bjv> no, the gui mount
[01:54] <bjv> little eject buttons, or click to mount available drives in file manager
[01:54] <Eryn_1983_FL> ok so i guess i need the apps that are used to start these apps
[01:55] <wangzh> solely mount.
[01:55] <rumpe1_> bjv, mount /dev/parititonsname /mountpoint/path
[01:55] <bjv> i do not see with 'ssh user@host -X nautilus&'   why?
[01:56] <bjv> ok.  i have like 7 partitions to check nthough
[01:56] <rumpe1_> bjv, or even mount -U <uuid> /mountpoint/path
[01:56] <rumpe1_> (if i read man mount correctly)
[01:57] <bjv> why does nautilus over x11 forward not show the eject/mount media buttons?
[01:57] <bjv> is some daemon not running?
[01:57] <wangzh> there's really a GUI disk util on my Ubuntu 10,04
[01:57] <bjv> i just logged into ssh and ran the x ap
[01:57] <bjv> *app
[01:58] <barf> Is there a way for grub to tell current video mode?
[01:59]  * Logan_WP is away: I'm busy
[01:59] <apet4u> is there anyone in here that would mind helping me figure out how to set up a 3rd party SL viewer... i feel like a real knob cause i cant figure it out :(
[02:02] <crazybrain1> how to download streaming videos in Ubuntu
[02:02] <crazybrain1> it does not saved in tmp file
[02:02] <stat1k> firefox - flashgot
[02:03] <crazybrain1> any other way?
[02:03] <crazybrain1> where does buffering video is downloaded in Ubuntu?
[02:03] <sacarlson> bjv: maybe it's a sudo function that's grayed out?  I see palimpsest can mount and umount stuf with a gui, it's part of gnome-disk-utility
[02:04] <stat1k> crazybrain1: install orbit downloader in wine
[02:04] <stat1k> ?
[02:04] <apet4u> can anyone help me install secondlife pls?
[02:05] <imthenachoman> how can i get ubuntu to use dhcp with manually set IP?
[02:05] <IsUp> hello
[02:05] <stat1k> crazybrain1; the /tmp folder?
[02:05] <IsUp> imthenachoman: use dhclient3 maybe?
[02:05] <arand> crazybrain1: normally in /tmp but as mentioned, flashgot works
[02:06] <bjv> sacarlson: interesting idea, i just looked for similar uuid from the nonfunctional /media mountpoints in /dev/disk/by-uuid and found mine -- it did ask for sudo privledges, and after retrying w/ password the permissions look fine
[02:06] <bjv> let me try again over x11 forwarding
[02:06] <IsUp> my first time with ubuntu desktop, after 2 years with ubuntu server edition
[02:06] <IsUp> damn great
[02:06] <adub> The installer encountered an error copying files to hard disk (error 5) input/output error)  <-----------   I keep getting this error when attempting an install
[02:08] <bjv> sacarlson, hm  not quite.  sudo nautilus does show the eject buttons for the two disks i mounted from the console, but all the icons and stuff are messed up.  app must be running as root and not connected to my ck session
[02:09] <Djlbert> DeSmuME has such horrible joypad support
[02:09] <DivineEntity> marvel vs. capcom 3 f'n rules
[02:09] <bjv> plus when i retry without sudo, i can still see those two eject buttons
[02:10] <bjv> so i guess specifically what's missing are the 'one click mount media' buttons
[02:10] <bjv> i suspect it's because the system booted, and i ssh'ed right in without starting a gdm session?
[02:11] <bjv> i tried to vnc, but vinagre would not connect (no gdm session yet?)
[02:12] <bjv> and i couldnt figure out how to connect a remote-x-dm session easily, so i just went in from the terminal
[02:12] <bjv> i've got my files now
[02:12] <alex_> How do i remove entries in GRUB2?
[02:12] <bjv> it was just weird that the button i normally rely on wasnt there
[02:14] <Cyberfusion> is there a way to preserve the system in hibernate then reboot into another?
[02:16] <kwtm> Cyberfusion: ?? Do you mean, after you hibernate in Ubuntu, can you then reboot into another system (anotehr version of Ubuntu, or WIndows etc) and then shut down and reboot and bring back up the hibernated system?  If so, then yes.
[02:16] <kwtm> Oh, wait.  I don't know what happens to the swap space if there's a hibernated system living there ...
[02:16] <Cyberfusion> i want to suspend ubuntu into swap then reboot into windows
[02:16] <Cyberfusion> hibernate**
[02:16] <kwtm> Maybe it won't work if you boot up another Linux system because it will use the swap space.  Windows won't use it, so it should be okay --I've done it before.
[02:17] <Cyberfusion> its windows
[02:17] <kwtm> Cyberfusion: Go for it, try it out.
[02:18] <kwtm> bjv: If you want to VNC into a system where you have not yet logged in (graphically), you can use the -auth option in x11vnc.  I have a post on LinuxQuestions about that, if you want.
[02:20] <doofy> I can't seem to see my samba share. I just set up an ubuntu server with samba, and have it configured and running. I go to another computer on the network, then go to places, windows network, but the box doesnt show up. Any ideas?
[02:21] <VAPA> tnx for the help..gonna dl and instal ubuntu 10.10..finaly moving from win to linux enviroment..regards peeps
[02:21] <doofy> scratch that, I figured it out. I hadn't bound the samba server to an interface
[02:22] <boldfilter> how do i remove kde
[02:23] <barf> I am in a text based ubuntu, what is the smallest component I can install to have a functionable startx or similar?
[02:23] <nerdlinger> Hey I am having a couple of problems with netbook remix 10.10, I can't seem to add anything to the favorite bar and I can't right click on the desktop, is there a way to renable this?
[02:24] <gsp2009> boldfilter: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[02:24] <Eryn_1983_FL> allright i am confused..
[02:24] <Eryn_1983_FL> how do i get the network manager to come up
[02:24] <Eryn_1983_FL> i fluxbox
[02:25] <kwtm> barf: Do you mean you want the minimal amount of packages installed to get a running GNOME desktop?  If you install Xfce, it would take up less memory but may not be smaller number of packages. (There's a xubuntu-desktop package or something like that that you can install from command-line.)
[02:25] <andornaut> I have an encrypted ~/ in ubuntu 10.04. I changed my pw with passwd, now when i reboot, my homedir isnt mounted, and i have to run ecryptfs-mount-private. How can I change (or add/delete) my encryption key so it matches my new login pw ?
[02:27] <gmg> Does anybody knows anything about using Remastersys? I mean using it...
[02:27] <barf> kwtm: couldnt find package xfce
[02:27] <Logan_WP> !xfce | barf
[02:28] <dtrf4837> for some reason i cant download ubuntu server iso properly. i did cd-rom integrity check and it says 'Integrity test failed
[02:28] <dtrf4837> The ./pool/main/miscfiles/miscfiles_1.4.2.dfsg.1-9_all.def file failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your CD-ROM or this file may be corrupted.'
[02:28] <dtrf4837> should i go ahead and install the disc anyway?
[02:28] <sacarlson> gmg: I had plans of trying remastersys,  did your attempt fail?
[02:28] <induz> how can i install KDEnlive as I get error
[02:29] <induz> i tried via synaptec
[02:29] <kwtm> dtrf4837: I'd see if you can replace the corrupted file with the correct one, then see if it passes checksum.
[02:29] <induz> synaptec shows as installed but i dont see it
[02:29]  * barf 267MB! ...
[02:29] <barf> Too much space, I only have 101MB avaiable
[02:29] <gmg> If have a new installation on 2 diffrent machines and both attemps failed...It runs but in the end (NO ISO FILE)
[02:29] <kwtm> dtrf4837: Failing that, you might want to randomly check MD5 of other files to lookj for other corrupt files.
[02:29] <boldfilter> how do install nvidia driver in 11.04
[02:30] <kwtm> barf: In that case, yuou may want to see what package xubuntu-desktop depends on, then selectively install.
[02:30] <kwtm> barf: For example, you mnight not need Firefox, which is part of the desktop.
[02:30] <Nevyn1> Okay, hello, I am an Ubuntu user, and I use the netbook remix. anybody able to help me out tpo explain why my soundcard does not work anymore?
[02:30] <barf> kwtm: I was hoping to have nautilus and FireFox
[02:30] <kwtm> barf: Basically, the xubuntu-desktop is almost the whole package of Xubuntu (except for what you've already installed, like Linux kernel, bash, etc.)
[02:30] <dtrf4837> kwtm cant i install the cd then try to fix the corrupted file later?
[02:30] <meshek> hello
[02:31] <meshek> i need help with the boot parameters
[02:31] <kwtm> barf: You might want to see what else there is that you can cut out.  E.g might not need email client?  Also, xubuntu doesn't even have nautilus ; it uses thunar, I think, which is smaller.
[02:31] <meshek> for the Live Cd 10.10
[02:31] <Nevyn1> I need help with alsa and my soundcard
[02:31] <dtrf4837> kwtm maybe its not an important file?
[02:32] <kwtm> barf: But, yeah, 101MB is not much room for a GUI.  I used to work with text only Linux, and it would take up about 40MB, so 101MB isn't much room.
[02:32] <barf> Sometimes I miss debian 2.0
[02:32] <kwtm> dtrf4837: I guess so.  There are 2 reasons to check integrity: errors, and malware.  You probably won't get that much of an error from your file, but make sure it's not malware.
[02:32] <kwtm> barf: What, debian 2.0 has a graphical environment under 101MB?
[02:33] <gmg> which is a better distro to wotk on...I getting fedup with Ubuntu...it fails many install attemps
[02:33] <meshek> at the installation screen i get stuck after pressing enter on install ubuntu
[02:33] <barf> I used to run it on 40MB if I recall correctly? Or was that 40 MB of RAM? Pentium 1 60MHz it was for sure
[02:33] <mickster04> barf: i missed the rest of the convo but why so little? why not use a smaller distro?
[02:33] <bullgard> sacarlson: Last night you advised me a workaround for Nautilus that did not mount my external USB hdd partitions. I found an easier solution: I rebooted my Maverick laptop computer. Now both partitions are mounted automatically again when I plug in the USB hard disk. I felt reminded on Windows.
[02:33] <kwtm> barf: I've found that I can't squeeze a modern KDE into less than 4GB now.  So I'm guessing for a good GUI you'd need at least 500MB.
[02:34] <induz> how can i install Kdenlive/
[02:34] <kwtm> barf: You used to run Nautilus and Firefox in 40MB?  Maybe Mosaic or Cello, but not even Netscape could fit into that small a space.
[02:34] <induz> http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/installing-source/installing-kdenlive
[02:34] <dtrf4837> kwtm thanks i didnt know i could get malware from installing ubuntu
[02:34] <kwtm> barf: Have you considered using text-only?  Can come in very handy.
[02:34] <meshek> anyone here can help with boot parameters??
[02:34] <induz> i tried but no success
[02:34] <barf> mickster04: I am trying to debootstrap ubuntu onto an embedded PC in the Samsung Syncmaster 400PXn
[02:34] <barf> It has 1 GB of total space
[02:35] <mickster04> barf why not use something designed for smaller spaces, like puppy linux
[02:35] <barf> Can I debootstrap a smaller distro perhaps?
[02:35] <kwtm> dtrf4837: It depends where you got the files from --why is it failing checksum?  Possible that someone hacked the mnirror.  (Of course, it's unlikely, but the point of the checksum is that when it fails, you automatically check for all possible problems including security breach.,)
[02:35] <barf> I would prefer something that is apt based
[02:35] <mickster04> barf: ah i see i'm sure there must be one somewhere:p
[02:35] <nerdlinger> Hey I am having a couple of problems with netbook remix 10.10, I can't seem to add anything to the favorite bar and I can't right click on the desktop, is there a way to renable this? (repeated cause I believe my question got lost)
[02:36] <bullgard> meshek: Please put a more specific question here in this channel.
[02:36] <foxjazz> trying to install teamspeak3 and it's a .run file. anyone know how to do this?
[02:36] <Bholzi> Where is the chatzilla file location on the FS?
[02:36] <kwtm> barf: Do I understand correctly you are trying to put Linux into a ... what is a Syncmaster, a monitor?  I'd really go for text-only Linux.  Have you tried it?  Elinks, vim, screen ... the text only interface is underrated.
[02:36] <Aleut> Okay, I have the following problem.  I suddenly have no sound. So, I went and installed the alsa stuff, like the self help page said. only to discover that apparently, there are no alsa modules recognised. I use the netbook remix on the newest version, and am a relative noob in Linux. So, is it fixable?
[02:36] <barf> kwtm: That is my regular work environment
[02:37] <chills518> anyone know what would cause the synaptic manager to not open the first one or two times I click it?  It opens a task saying "Starting Administrative Application" and then closes..  I have to click it 2-3 times before it asks for password and then opens..
[02:37] <Logan_WP> induz: ask in #kdenlive
[02:37] <kwtm> barf: I think my 40MB hard disk went with a 80486 15MHz, so I'm pretty sure the Pentium 60MHz had more than 40MB hard drive ...  40MB ram sounds more like it.
[02:37] <sacarlson> bullgard: cool, I have to do the same with my usb wifi adapters,  sometimes they just stop but unplug and replug normaly fixes them
[02:37] <barf> I would like to install X for my son to use this screen to watch youtube and do some minor email stuff
[02:37] <gmg> which is a more stable and compatible Distro version?
[02:37] <meshek> ok if the installation fails, i assume that the software is not connecting with the hardware...
[02:38] <meshek> so i read the troubleshoot on ubuntu.com
[02:38] <meshek> and said it has to do with the boot parameters
[02:38] <sacarlson> gmg: are you trying your remastersys with propraitary video or other drivers?
[02:38] <meshek> i'm new to linux
[02:38] <barf> Maybe just run some partitions on USB?
[02:38] <kwtm> barf: Hmm... it's going to be a tight squeeze, but you might want to look into fluxbox or something that is smaller but which needs manual installation.  And I wouldn't put in Firefox just for Youtube, unless you want your son surfing the web.
[02:38] <barf> like the man pages does not need to be on the SSD
[02:39] <kwtm> barf: If it's okay for you to download the youtube videos and then play the Flash, then just youtube-dl.py, elinks (or links2) and mplayer (which I think doesn't even need X)
[02:39] <barf> kwtm: He would have to do that too, to do research for homework
[02:39] <bullgard> foxjazz: Teamspeak is a proprietary software. Please use open source software instead so that people can better help you in this channel.
[02:39] <gmg> I got a version of laptops which I want to ship with an OS...but if it keeps on going on like this I might as well keep Windows on them
[02:39] <barf> Well at least I got the metrics of the console right now
[02:40] <kwtm> barf: Well, okay, in that case I guess you'll have to check out smaller win managers.  Yes, definitely a USB drive (you might as well get a 1GB drive if not a 16GB drive) would help, although disk access would be slow.
[02:40] <nerdlinger> -_-
[02:40] <foxjazz> bullgard, are you an idiot? I need to use teamspeak, or do you know of open source software that connects to a teamspeak server?
[02:40] <kwtm> Is a Syncmaster a monitor, barf?
[02:40] <dtrf4837> kwtm what about 'Rescue a broken system' on the cd? would that help?
[02:40] <Aleut> Anyone able to help me how to load modules into ALSA?
[02:40] <sacarlson> gmg: I'm reading this that tells me the custom stuf that needs to be setup before the remastersys is ran http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ubuntu.html
[02:41] <meshek> the question then should be that when i get at the installation screen and press F6(other options) what option(s) should i mark with an X in order to continue on with the installation of ubuntu 10.10?
[02:41] <bullgard> sacarlson: Hehe. --  Thank you for your help anyway.
[02:41] <kwtm> dtrf4837: How did you get the file/cd?  Did you download it off a torrent?  Can you put it back up on the torrent so it will autocorrect any defects?
[02:41] <dtrf4837> kwtm i got it from the official ubuntu site
[02:41] <gmg> I'll take a look right a way...
[02:42]  * barf kwtm: Yes, it’s a 40" monitor with a built in PC, I bought it from an auction from bankrupt companies
[02:42] <kwtm> foxjazz: I'm afraid that from time to time on this channel people will ask "How do you use Software X?" and the reply will be "Why are you using Software X?  You should use Software Y instead."  It's a pet peeve of mine.
[02:42] <kwtm> dtrf4837: That tells me WHERE you got the CD, but HOW did you get it --direct download?  INstalled by Wubi?  BitTorrent?
[02:42] <foxjazz> never mind. I found instructions on google on how to install teamspeak 3
[02:43] <meshek> i'm running a VIA apollo chipset
[02:43] <dtrf4837> kwtm i think it was direct download
[02:43] <sacarlson> kwtm: well some people think there is only one way to do things when really there is 100 ways
[02:43] <kwtm> barf: I'd go with the USB drive thing, if you can get it to boot off USB drive.
[02:43] <i_didnt_know_she> trying to download web directory using wget, but the files I need (which I know are there) don't appear in the download. help
[02:43]  * barf kwtm: That’s why I use bootstrap
[02:43] <nerdlinger> anyone able to help on my problems?
[02:43] <barf> only way I was able to make it run
[02:43] <dtrf4837> kwtm i tried  downloading twice and twice i got the error notice
[02:43] <kwtm> barf: Good move!  Anyway, that's my recommendation.  40" monitor?  Nice.
[02:44] <bullgard> !ask | nerdlinger
[02:44] <rpreston> Im new to ubuntu does anyone know how to login as root there is a file that requires me to login that way
[02:44] <rpreston> Im trying to change the work group in samba
[02:44] <nerdlinger> bullgard i have asked twice
[02:45] <kwtm> dtrf4837: Interesting.  That's one of the ways you can get malware.  Hmm... what MD5 hash do you get (not the correct one but yours)?  Google for it and see if others have the same problem.
[02:45] <barf> kwtm: Siemens Futro S400 w/AMD Athlon64 X2 3400+(1.8GHz,
[02:45] <bullgard> nerdlinger: I did not scroll back.
[02:45] <meshek> anyone here can help with the boot parameters options on ubuntu 10.10 to continue the installation??
[02:45] <barf> It’s the kind of monitors in airports and train stations showing time tables
[02:45] <rpreston> Im new to ubuntu does anyone know how to login as root there is a file that requires me to login that way
[02:45] <researcher1> when I try to install application using Command Line I get the erro "No network" but I can browse by Firefox all site n can install appz using Synaptic. My proxy is configured peoperly
[02:45] <nerdlinger> I am having a couple of problems with netbook remix 10.10, I can't seem to add anything to the favorite bar and I can't right click on the desktop, is there a way to renable this? (repeated cause I believe my question got lost)
[02:45] <barf> It had WinXP Embedded on there ... not quiet the choice of my genereation
[02:46] <nerdlinger> I dont see the + sign that the ubuntu troubleshooting site says should popup
[02:46] <gmg> This doesn't help...These laptops are using small basic intel drivers and still Remastersys doesn't want to work. Is their anything else I can use to make a Distro?
[02:46] <bullgard> meshek: What is your specific problem with bbotparameters?
[02:47] <meshek> after i press enter on the "Install Ubuntu" nothing happens....
[02:47] <dtrf4837> kwtm ok i'm googling ./pool/main/miscfiles/miscfiles_1.4.2.dfsg.1-9_all.def
[02:47] <kwtm> sacarlson: I like to think that if someone asks for a way to do something, s/he wants to do something, not do something else.  Of course, additional suggestions are welcome, but I think one needs to respect the questioner.
[02:48] <kwtm> dtrf4837: What do you get when you do "md5sum ./pool/main/miscfiles/miscfiles_1.4.2.dfsg.1-9_all.def" ?
[02:48] <kwtm> It's going to look something like a random bunch of numbers/lettesr, like 32489324789ac12c2121
[02:48] <kwtm> dtrf4837: Then google for that bunch of random numbers./letters.
[02:48] <meshek> and i know nothing about boot parameters
[02:49] <bullgard> meshek: You did not give enough information so that I could help you. May be you should try using the Alternate Ubuntu CD for installing.
[02:50] <zoltar99> Hello?
[02:50] <meshek> i order a copy of ubuntu and just received it in the mail today
[02:50] <chills518> anyone know what would cause the synaptic manager to not open the first one or two times I click it?
[02:51] <joe_happy> hey i got a little issue i installed the amsn and then i tried to install a skin the amsn web page told me that i needed to copy the folder i donwloaded into /usr/share/amsn/skin but when i try to do that it tells me that i dont have the permision to copy that folder into that file
[02:51] <sacarlson> kwtm: I have seen people spend 3 days trying to compile an application when someone finaly steps up and tells them you know you can install that with apt-get install yourapp,  20 secounds later wow there done
[02:51] <dtrf4837> kwtm ok i googled md5sum ./pool/main/miscfiles/miscfiles v1.4.2.dfsg.1-9_all.def and i got 'Did you mean: md5sum ./pool/main/miscfiles/miscfiles v1.4.2.dfsg.1-9_all.def'...and there's only a few hits unlike before
[02:51] <zoltar99> How do I stop the movie player from opening when I use the places menubar?
[02:51] <gmg> is their a program I can use to collect missing software packages to install a program?
[02:51] <researcher1> what to do when we get the message  "No internet connection" while attempting to install some software online from Command Line Interface?
[02:52] <KM0201> researcher1: connect to the internet?
[02:52] <xangua> zoltar99: create a folder>right clic>open with other>open folder
[02:52] <kisuke> whats ubuntu's default network manager?
[02:52] <bullgard> meshek: Sometimes you will have to first press the space bar and select some obvious button before you press Enter.
[02:53] <kwtm> dtrf4837: I'm sorry that I wasn't clear.  I was suggesting that you: 1) open a terminal window, and 2) type "md5sum ./pool/main/miscfiles/miscfiles v1.4.2.dfsg.1-9_all.def" and press Enter.  THere should be a string of letters that appear as your answer (after a while).  Tell us what that string of numbers is.
[02:53] <meshek> bullgard: after i press enter on the "Install Ubuntu" nothing happens...so i went to the FAQS at www.ubuntu.com and there was an article suggesting i should delete the quiet splash line and change the boot parameters as well
[02:53] <researcher1> KM0201: Im already connected to internet.I can browse using firefox.
[02:53] <xangua> kisuke: network manager :P
[02:54] <dtrf4837> sacarlson but this might be malware and if it is i dont know if i can fix it just by installing the proper file
[02:54] <KM0201> researcher1: then it sounds like the server might be down or something... what are you tryin to install?
[02:54] <meshek> such as the acpi=off
[02:54] <kwtm> sacarlson: Sure.  In that case, if someone asks how to compile application X, you say: 1. "This is a summary of how you do it.  Do you want more detail?"  2. "What is your end goal, so that we can help you better?  There may be another way."
[02:54] <bullgard> researcher1: type 'route' in your terminal to see if your router works correctly.
[02:54] <researcher1> KM0201: trying to install HP printer software
[02:54] <kwtm> sacarlson: You wouldn't say "You should not be compiling application X.  You should be using application Y."  (at least I hope you wouldn't)
[02:54] <joe_happy> hey i got a little issue i installed the amsn and then i tried to install a skin the amsn web page told me that i needed to copy the folder i donwloaded into /usr/share/amsn/skin but when i try to do that it tells me that i dont have the permision to copy that folder into that file can anyone help me with hat?
[02:55] <joe_happy> that
[02:55] <dtrf4837> kwtm the computer i'm trying to install ubuntu has windows xp running at the moment. can i still do what you said?
[02:55] <kwtm> sacarlson: I'm imagining you buying an air ticket to Chicago, and the travel agent saying, "Why do you want to go to Chicago?  You should go to London instead."
[02:55] <kisuke> xangua: that the package name
[02:55] <kwtm> dtrf4837: Hmmm... technically yes, but I don't know *how* to do it in Windows.  You'd have to download a MD5 application.  Tell you what, just go ahead and install.  What the hell.
[02:56] <kwtm> sacarlson: I'm imagining the ticket agent saying, "I've seen people spending 3 days trying to relax in Chicago, when London is a much better place to relax."
[02:56] <greaterthan9000> Question-- i have a lifecam vx3000. the microphone works just fine under ubuntu, but not under debian. what package or module (was included in ubuntu 9 or 10 i think) is providing this support in ubuntu?
[02:56] <bullgard> meshek: Yes, I know such an advice. This may be a good advice. But this applies to a later stage of the boot process. You are stuck at the very beginning. --  Have you tried using the space bar after I advised you?
[02:56] <gmg> dtrf4837>>The CD give an option to install Ubuntu allong side Windows
[02:56] <dtrf4837> kwtm lol ok thanks

[02:57] <kwtm> dtrf4837: Good luck in your endeavours!
[02:57] <dtrf4837> thanks
[02:57] <meshek> bullgard:so you are saying that instead of pressinfg down "enter" to install ubuntu I should press spacebar instead?
[02:57] <joe_happy> nope i havet tried it, how do i do that?
[02:58] <nerdlinger> Repeating issue: i am trying to add programs into the favorites bar in UNRE 10.10, the Ubuntu trouble shooting site doesn't help cause I can't see the (+) that its saying should popup when holding over the icon, also how can I change the screen saver on UNRE or enable the right mouse button on the desktop
[02:58] <Lazzlo> do you know if you're user has admin priviliges?

[02:59] <Ray2> How to save file from ubuntu 10.04 to /dev/fd0 which is the floppy drive
[02:59] <Lazzlo> joe_happy: whatever command you're using to copy just put "sudo" in front of it in the terminal window.  Then enter your password.
[02:59] <meshek> ok. i will try and do that
[02:59] <Lazzlo> you'll need to have admin prviliges though..
[02:59] <meshek> bullgard:thanks
[02:59] <joe_happy> ok thats the deal im not using any comand just moving the file from one file to another one hehe...
[03:00] <Lazzlo> you're better off using the terminal for this..
[03:00] <sacarlson> gmg: I'm not sure this will help but I use this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366  to create a list of application I always install and then when I install a fresh install
[03:01] <joe_happy> ok yeah i like to use the terminal can you tell me the comand?

[03:03] <joe_happy> thanks i guess XD
[03:03] <joe_happy> ok so cp to copy
[03:03] <joe_happy> so il guess it would be somthing like sudo cp *name of the file* and then?

[03:04] <Lazzlo> so what was the file you wanted to copy

[03:41] <keastes> sacarlson: now to get my remote working..
[03:41] <bullgard> exodus: It cannot be that this list is empty. In that case you would not obtain DEB program packages via the Internet.
[03:41] <exodus> bullgard: yeah you are right but its really empty.
[03:41] <exodus> I opened it with gedit
[03:42] <santhosh> i want to forward the incoming requests to port 5005 to example.exampledomain.com port 5005. How can i do this?
[03:42] <alesan> how can I change the options to mount / ??
[03:42] <santhosh> i want this to be permanent also.
[03:42] <alesan> I wish to specify data=writeback
[03:42] <bullgard> exodus: Well. This is really bad. -- I don't know at once where to get it from.
[03:43] <exodus> bullgard: me too :)
[03:43] <overclucker> are you sure you are opening /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[03:44] <bullgard> exodus: I could give you mine. But this is of no value to you as I am in Germany.
[03:44] <apsss> ,'
[03:44] <exodus> yeah i am sure.
[03:44] <exodus> I used this sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

[03:45] <rigved> hello everyone...i am trying the localnet installation using the dhcp-pxe-tftp-http method from here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet. but whenever i boot my laptop from lan, i get a tftp open timeout error. but i don't remember any timeout set for tftpd. can anyone help me with this?
[03:45] <santhosh> i want to forward the incoming requests to port 5005 to example.exampledomain.com port 5005. How can i do this?
[03:45] <nerdlinger> when I right click the app I want to add to the favorites bar - it merely blinks a few times and doesn't do anything
[03:46] <exodus> bullgard overclucker: I guess i am going to reinstall Ubuntu again :P
[03:46] <santhosh> ubottu: i want to forward the incoming requests to port 5005 to example.exampledomain.com port 5005. How can i do this?
[03:46] <bullgard> exodus: Yes, do it.
[03:46] <santhosh> bullgard: i want to forward the incoming requests to port 5005 to example.exampledomain.com port 5005. How can i do this?
[03:46] <rigved> !brain | santhosh
[03:47] <nerdlinger> The favorites bar apparently also works as a task bar so any opened program goes over there, however i can't seem to lock it down as it only has the quit option
[03:47] <rigved> can anyone help me? ^^
[03:48] <DaGeek247> nerdlinger you may have found yourself a bug
[03:48] <exodus> bullgard: that's really odd... now its not full :) how it can be? I run again gedit and now its not empty.
[03:48] <nerdlinger> ._. but but I want my computer to work not to be buggy
[03:49] <bullgard> santhosh: I don't know as you did not tell me  what program caused incoming requests.
[03:49] <DaGeek247> nerdlinger lol. my is uses ubuntu desktop on her netbook fine. try it
[03:49] <DaGeek247> *sis
[03:49] <nerdlinger> Thats what I am going to do, I am not liking Netbook Remix
[03:49] <nerdlinger> lol
[03:49] <bullgard> exodus: I do not know how that happend. Probably you overlooked an important minor item.
[03:50] <santhosh> bullgard: lets say i simply say curl localhost:5005 and i want the request to fetch data from port 5005 of exampl.com
[03:50] <DaGeek247> if bntu fails youall the ay ad all you want is someting stable check out debian
[03:50] <exodus> bullgard: thanks anyway I guess I have to restart it... Take care.
[03:50] <santhosh> normallu ill do this with ssh -p 1234 user@exam.com -L 5005:localhost:5005
[03:50] <nerdlinger> DaGeek I actually don't mind using ubuntu I just thought Ubuntu Netbook would be just as easy to use
[03:51] <bullgard> santhosh: I am not familiar with curl. I am sorry not being able to help you.
[03:51] <rigved> this is my question again - hello everyone...i am trying the localnet installation using the dhcp-pxe-tftp-http method from here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet. but whenever i boot my laptop from lan, i get a tftp open timeout error. but i don't remember any timeout set for tftpd. can anyone help me with this?

[03:53] <su> if i view regular folder view
[03:53] <su> the network folders display

[03:54] <shell> hi everyone i have a problem with Chromium in Ubuntu Lucid...
[03:54] <mickster04> !details
[03:54] <shell> everytime I start chromium after i restart my laptop I get the following message in the term
[03:54] <shell> FATAL:base/shared_memory_posix.cc(158)] This is frequently caused by incorrect permissions on /dev/shm.  Try 'sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm' to fix.
[03:54] <shell> i hate having to do this every single time .... what is the problem with this?
[03:54] <bullgard> su: I believe that you are not using Ubuntu.
[03:55] <shell> is this caused by the way the Ubuntu devs packaged Chromium? with wrong permissions messing up the startup of Chromium?
[03:55] <pnorman> Ah - I got the card working, but I want to change which interface is eth0 and which is eth1, how'd I go about doing that?
[03:55] <su> lolol
[03:56] <overclucker> shell: what does the entry for /dev/shm look loike in /etc/fstab ?
[03:56] <bullgard> HugoKuo__: If there is no backport for it, then you cannot install it.
[03:56] <su> you mean as a server? my partner runs windows so the server is windows, but my OS is ubuntu 10.04 and here's the reg folder view in nautilus http://i53.tinypic.com/2lx9zf8.jpg
[03:56] <overclucker> sorry, i mean /etc/mtab
[03:56] <shell> overclucker: for some reason there is no such entry for /dev/shm
[03:56] <overclucker> I meant to say mtab
[03:56] <shell> oh
[03:57] <su> I tried the same thing on another computer as well, so it's not my skin or theme

[04:12] <santhosh> and fetch the data from there
[04:13] <nate_> hey, does anybody know where the download version of py2exe is for ubuntu?
[04:13] <pnorman> Okay - I think I've got the drivers installed for my network card, I now have eth0 and eth1 showing up in ifconfig -a, however, it doesn't seem to be getting an IP
[04:13] <santhosh> that 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 permanently
[04:14] <Ganymede> Hello, 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 d
[04:14] <Ganymede> ecide 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] <FloodBot1> Ganymede: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:14] <su> xangua i don't know what you mean.  I've just been told  by another that what I wish to do is actually a current "feature request" for development
[04:15] <su> i tried to create folder, open with nautilus or open with firefox, but it does not make server display in the side panel of the save file dialogue
[04:15] <su> anyways thanks!
[04:16] <tomreyn> yourwhiteshadow: i don't think this answers santhosh's question on how to have it persist across reboots, does it.
[04:17] <yourwhiteshadow> tomreyn: no it doesn't, but with a little cleverness he can write a script and just run the script, which will persist across reboots
[04:18] <Rav3n> hi
[04:18] <Rav3n> everyone
[04:18] <DaGeek247> shhh!

[04:19] <DaGeek247> darn wrong channl again!
[04:19] <Rav3n> wtf?
[04:19] <DaGeek247> -offtopic is sleeping
[04:20] <tomreyn> pnorman: were you asking a question there or just reporting on your progress?
[04:20] <Rav3n> have anybody used loop-AES drivers on Ubuntu?
[04:20] <pnorman> tomreyn: I think I was trying to ask a question, and failed at doing so
[04:20] <Rav3n> anyone?
[04:20] <yourwhiteshadow> santhosh: any luck?
[04:21] <santhosh> yourwhiteshadow: reading it now
[04:21] <madmn> what package do i need to install in ubuntu so i can ftp into my box ?
[04:21] <tomreyn> pnorman: feel free to retry ;-)
[04:21] <santhosh> yourwhiteshadow: will let u know wen i hit somethin
[04:22] <yourwhiteshadow> santhosh: do you know how to write a script? you can just write a script to do it
[04:22] <tomreyn> madmn: you mean, from a remote location, into your buntu system?
[04:22] <Ganymede> madmn, Here's a kind of old page giving some options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer
[04:22] <eruditehermit> hi, how do I use the software center history to remove packages installed on a certian day?
[04:22] <eruditehermit> or how do I get it into an easy to use format with spaces so that I can use it with apt-get to remove them
[04:23] <Ganymede> madmn, Actually, sorry, I just read the page I linked you to and it's terribly written.
[04:23] <santhosh> yourwhiteshadow: no im new to ubuntu servers
[04:23] <yourwhiteshadow> santhosh: ok, lemme try to help you out
[04:23] <santhosh> yourwhiteshadow: wow so kind of you. Thank you so much
[04:23] <madmn_> what package do i need to install so that i can ftp into my ubuntu box ?
[04:23] <yourwhiteshadow> santhosh: can you pm me?
[04:24] <santhosh> sure
[04:24] <Ganymede> madmn, Here's one for Maverick with vsftpd: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=2127 but I strongly urge you to look into SFTP instead.
[04:24] <jeffwheeler> A while back I tried buying an album from the Ubuntu One music store and got an international surcharge fee at my bank (I'm in the US). Does this still happen?
[04:24] <madmn_> there is no package called that
[04:24] <pnorman> I've got a ubunutu 10.10 server where I just installed an intel network card. I've installed the drivers from intel (essentially following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601222) and now have eth0 and eth1 showing up in `ifconfig -a` but neither have IPs. Where should I go from there?
[04:25] <tomreyn> madmn_: i, too, think you really want to install openssh-server and use sftp
[04:25] <madmn_> i am using filezilla right now
[04:25]  * pnorman agrees with sftp and openssh
[04:25] <Chuck> quit
[04:26] <Ghastly> while I know this is likely the wrong place to ask this, (have asked in the correct places as well)
[04:26] <madmn_> do you know where to get open-ssh server
[04:26] <jeffwheeler> Hmm, it looks like this is my issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1528557 - I'll see if there's a way to pick the store.
[04:26] <blackxored> hello guys
[04:27] <tomreyn> madmn_: it's "openssh-server", a package available in the ubuntu repositories.
[04:27] <blackxored> I have  the odd question of the day for you guys, I was wondering how to speed up a very slow link to a VPN server in term of web browsing, things such as disabling encryption are out of question, but what about other ways, such as setting up a cache proxy or something??? Any clues on it?
[04:28] <Ganymede> I don't see what's so odd about that..but bye.
[04:28] <madmn_> does ubuntu come with any programming software
[04:28] <erpo> madmn: a ton. What language?
[04:28] <madmn_> to program c sharp
[04:28] <blackxored> Ganymede, hehhe ok
[04:29] <erpo> madmn: For .Net?
[04:29] <blackxored> madmn_: you can try monodevelop
[04:29] <madmn_> yeah right now i am learning console applications
[04:29] <blackxored> or you can go to vala
[04:29] <blackxored> does anybody here, not sleep, can answer my question? :P
[04:29] <Ghastly> trying to figure out how to set the correct environmental variables in crystalspace (have read the docs, asked around)... its... very... strange... I know HOW to set it, just well... not where (docs haven't helped / Google refers to the docs, logic disagrees)
[04:29] <Ghastly> any help would be greatly appreciated
[04:30] <herman_> #xbins
[04:30] <tomreyn> madmn_: 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] <tomreyn> service.
[04:30] <AbhijiT> madmn, every linux has gcc inbuilt
[04:30] <blackxored> madmn_: If C# is your thing, then go to monodevelop, you won't get CLR 4 but it's a good project
[04:32] <madmn_> okay and i should look into sftp for ftp software then not filezilla /
[04:32] <tomreyn> madmn_: i think filezilla does support sftp
[04:33] <Ghastly> it does
[04:33] <tomreyn> madmn: i think filezilla does support sftp
[04:33] <madmn> okay cool
[04:33] <blackxored> tomreyn: in deed it does
[04:33] <tzDev> it does, I use it all the time
[04:33] <madmn> one more question ubuntu is not seeing my usb drive
[04:33] <blackxored> so there's no clue about the connection speedup i was talking about right?
[04:33] <madmn> how do i get it to reconize it
[04:35] <VooDooNOFX> I'm having some troubles installing ununtu-10.10-netbook-i386 into my Toshiba Portege 3505 tablet. It shows the initial text based screen, then dumps to busybox within about a minute.
[04:36] <BlueEagle> madmn: In most cases the USB drives are detected automatically.
[04:36] <VooDooNOFX> I see some forums recommending that I put all_generic_ide floppy=off irqpoll, but not sure where to type them in
[04:36] <blackxored> VooDooNOFX: usually, corrupted ISO
[04:36] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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] <blackxored> VooDooNOFX: at your bootloader screen?
[04:36] <BlueEagle> madmn: Try running dmesg after connecting the USB drive.
[04:37] <sre-su> How to install xfce in Ubuntu?
[04:37] <blackxored> tomreyn: I'm basically routing all my traffic through the VPN
[04:37] <VooDooNOFX> it's installing from a pcmcia dvd-rom, it's the 3rd iso i've burned, and i've now tried desktop, netbook and alternate versions. I can try booting from a windows cd to test the drive, but this laptop doesn't support usb booting :(
[04:37] <blackxored> tomreyn: I do have a lot of hops which come by my ISP, sadly couldn't get rid of them ;)
[04:38] <blackxored> VooDooNOFX: the third you tried, ok, have you bothered to md5sum at least one? ;)
[04:38] <VooDooNOFX> blackxored: it dumps me directly to a (initramfs) screen. Not sure, but that doesn't appear to be the bootloader
[04:38] <tomreyn> blackxored: so maybe your issue is your network route to the VPN server then?
[04:38] <_jesse_> sre-su: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[04:38] <blackxored> VooDooNOFX: weird, that's not finding kernel
[04:38] <BlueEagle> madmn: You're looking for something similar to " usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4"
[04:38] <blackxored> tomreyn: ok it's not really an issue, I wanted to take some measures when I'm off-work to make this thing faster
[04:39] <dw1> hello - looking for some Windows 7 Ubuntu 10.4 dual boot install advice. Anyone here can help?
[04:39] <blackxored> I wanted to know if caching proxies will do it, if dialup acceleration services are worth, that kind of stuff
[04:39] <BlueEagle> blackxored: It works.
[04:39] <madmn> it saw it before
[04:39] <BlueEagle> blackxored: Sorry. Wrong nick.
[04:39] <sre-su> _jesse_: Will it affect if the system is Kubuntu?
[04:39] <tomreyn> blackxored: if your route to the VPN server is bad then, of course, all routes you establish through it will be, too.
[04:39] <BlueEagle> dw1: It works.
[04:39] <madmn> but since i reinstalled it is not seeing it
[04:39] <dw1> Windows 7 is already installed. I want to "install them side by side" without changing the size of any existing partitions, so I am torn between "install them side by side......" and "use the largest continuous free space"
[04:39] <dw1>  I want to do exactly both of these things, but I am asked to choose between them (or go manual).
[04:39] <dw1>  Which is preferred?
[04:39] <sre-su> _jesse_: or its desktop environment?
[04:39] <BlueEagle> madmn: Does dmesg show anything when plugging it in?
[04:39] <_jesse_> dw1: just as your question
[04:39] <_jesse_> *ask
[04:40] <blackxored> tomreyn: what was this name of a software I can use to test network quality between my two links, my machine and the VPN server per se
[04:40] <pnorman> I think I've got my problem fixed - i changed eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces to eth1
[04:40] <_jesse_> sre-su: no
[04:40] <madmn> where do i run that ?
[04:40] <_jesse_> sre-su: it will install another enviornment; you can switch at log in
[04:40] <madmn> in a terminal window/
[04:40] <BlueEagle> madmn: The terminal would be a good place to start.
[04:40] <dw1> There are 3 primary partitions already. So I need Ubuntu to do all it needs inside one extended partition
[04:40] <blackxored> madmn: like on the shell ;)
[04:40] <blackxored> BlueEagle: +1
[04:40] <tomreyn> blackxored: there's several, traceroute and ping would be the most common, i personally like mtr
[04:40] <kingofthething> I downloaded a hidpoint1-0.bin file for my MX revolution mouse and I dont know how to install it or run it through the terminal
[04:40] <blackxored> tomreyn: great I'm using mtr
[04:40] <dw1> _jesse_: Well I am using the 64 bit install CD
[04:41] <blackxored> what do you want me to test here is packet loss
[04:41] <blackxored> ?
[04:41] <madmn> that came up with a ton of stuff
[04:41] <sre-su> Alright thanks
[04:41] <dw1> _jesse_: And I have got to t a place where I am unsure which radio button to select for the best
[04:41] <BlueEagle> madmn: That is why I asked you to run i right after plugging in the USB drive. That way you'd look at the last few lines.
[04:42] <kingofthething> can anyone help...I downloaded a hidpoint1-0.bin file for my MX revolution mouse and I dont know how to install it or run it through the terminal
[04:42] <blackxored> i'm also getting a weird openvpn message log saying no buffer space available
[04:42] <tomreyn> pnorman: make sure the interfaces are configured properly and that they are up. depending on your configuration you may need to manually run a DHCP client then
[04:42] <_jesse_> dw1: is the partition you want to install to already created? I always just choose the manual option
[04:42] <madmn> [ 1380.444279] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdf] Attached SCSI removable disk
[04:42] <blackxored> i took the recommendation from the list and tweaked memory_bytes but still getting those
[04:42] <_jesse_> so I'm not sure what the others do
[04:42] <madmn> looks like it sees it

[04:43] <BlueEagle> madmn: Can you now `mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt`
[04:43] <abhilashm86> I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on virtualbox, i use mobile broadband in windows7 and ubuntu is not taking the connection...what should i use in network settings of virtualbox?
[04:43] <blackxored> when I don't have this message, I get like 20% of packet loss, not sure on how to evaluate this
[04:43] <dw1> _jesse_: No. I just want Ubuntu to use up all the exsiting free space without touching any of the three existing partitions (which are all primary partitions)
[04:43] <blackxored> tomreyn: what do you think?
[04:43] <tomreyn> blackxored: 20% packet loss is a whole lot.
[04:43] <tomreyn> blackxored: that's a really bad link
[04:43] <blackxored> so what / if any can do about it
[04:43] <_jesse_> dw1: largest contiguous free space sounds good then
[04:44] <AbhijiT> abhilashm86, try in #vbox
[04:44] <madmn> does not exist it said
[04:44] <abhilashm86> AbhijiT: yes i'll post it there......
[04:44] <dw1> _jesse_: OK. Will that still understand that I want to install the two OSs side by side?
[04:44] <BlueEagle> madmn: ls /dev/sdf*
[04:44] <tomreyn> blackxored: where does the loss take place according to mtr?
[04:44] <blackxored> abhilashm86: you should move, but for that matters you'll only need NAT, let the windows take care of networking for you
[04:44] <BlueEagle> madmn: Does it show anything with numbers after sdf?
[04:44] <dw1> _jesse_: The format of a choice between radio buttons does not make this altogether clear
[04:45] <blackxored> tomreyn: umm you'll blame me, but's basically everywhere
[04:45] <blackxored> it's down now to 14%
[04:45] <madmn> says /dev/sdf
[04:45] <_jesse_> dw1: it'll install to the largest free space, yes; shouldn't overwrite any partitions (I assume you backed up just in case, right?)
[04:45] <dw1> _jesse_: there is a dount in my mind as to whether only the "Install them side-by-side radio button will allow the dual boot to work?
[04:45] <BlueEagle> madmn: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdf
[04:45] <tomreyn> blackxored: run mtr like this: disable the VPN, then mtr -i 5 VPN-HOST
[04:45] <BlueEagle> madmn: Does it have an empty partition table?
[04:45] <_jesse_> dw1: grub will see them both
[04:46] <_jesse_> dw1: *both installs that is
[04:46] <blackxored> you want it with the vpn disabled?
[04:46] <dw1> _jess_: Yes. I backed up all the v important stuff
[04:46] <abhilashm86> blackxored: Yes i'll try that. Thanks!
[04:46] <blackxored> abhilashm86: np
[04:46] <tomreyn> blackxored: keep it running for 5 minutes or so and put it on a pastebin
[04:46] <blackxored> tomreyn: all right
[04:46] <blackxored> I might loose this connecction, please keep on
[04:46] <tomreyn> blackxored: yes, with VPN disabled, since you want to know whether the underlying network route causes your trouble or the VPN server itself.
[04:46] <_jesse_> dw1: I have never seen that option though, maybe they added it to make it clearer for newcomers
[04:46] <madmn> http://pastebin.com/Pk25YB46
[04:46] <dw1> _jesse_: OK. So I guess it is just a slight imperfection in the interface documentation of that screen in the install procedure:
[04:47] <dw1> _jesse_: well there are  4 radio buttons I have to select between
[04:47] <BlueEagle> madmn: Did you have data on this drive before?
[04:47] <madmn> yes
[04:47] <madmn> i know there was data on it
[04:47] <_jesse_> dw1: yeah, I think it's just to make it 'nicer' when people want to dual boot with windows
[04:48] <madmn> does 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 whatnot
[04:48] <BlueEagle> madmn: 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] <BlueEagle> madmn: You _do_ have backup, don't you?
[04:48] <madmn> yes i think its on another computer
[04:48] <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 will
[04:48] <_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 Windows
[04:48] <madmn> but how do i get this drive to work in here for the future
[04:49] <dw1> __jesse_ to press or not to press
[04:49] <KREDO> hi all
[04:49] <BlueEagle> madmn: 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] <KREDO> I have a dual processor computer, when I open the System Monitor the CPU usage shows 100%, but I have no program is open
[04:49] <dw1> Maybe I'll delay a few more mins in case I get another view
[04:49] <BlueEagle> madmn: 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.
[04:50] <madmn> let me check that i said it is a data traveller usb drive
[04:50] <_jesse_> dw1: that is the question. I don't think that option could possible do any better than just installing to largest free space
[04:50] <_jesse_> dw1: since grub will see them all regardless
[04:50] <_jesse_> dw1: might be a good idea, maybe someone is familiar with that option
[04:50] <madmn> its just a little flash drive not an actual hard disk
[04:50] <KREDO> I have a dual processor computer, when I open the System Monitor the CPU usage shows 100%, but I have no program is open, help me
[04:50] <BlueEagle> madmn: Even flash drives need partition tables.
[04:50] <madmn> okay
[04:51] <BlueEagle> madmn: It's an 8GB device, isn't it
[04:51] <madmn> let me try it on another computer upstairs and see what it says
[04:51] <madmn> yes it is a 8GB usb
[04:52] <blackxored> hey guys
[04:52] <blackxored> i'm back
[04:52] <blackxored> this is odd
[04:52] <BlueEagle> KREDO: in a terminal run `top` and see what uses CPU power.

[04:52] <dw1> _jesse_: you almost talked me into it, but I'll hang on a little longer
[04:52] <dw1> _jesse_ thanks for your thoughts
[04:52] <blackxored> 0 packet loss, now that I've restarted vpn 0 packet loss as well
[04:52] <blackxored> weird
[04:52] <blackxored> a little bit slower on the vpn of course
[04:52] <blackxored> but no loss
[04:52] <jeffwheeler> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon
[04:53] <jeffwheeler> oops, sorry, wrong window
[04:53] <_jesse_> dw1: np
[04:53] <blackxored> what do you guys think about this?
[04:53] <BlueEagle> blackxored: I think you should stop using the enter key as punctuation.
[04:53] <blackxored> BlueEagle: you're absolutely right, my bad
[04:54] <Ghastly> if one of you would be willing to take a look at ^ link, would be greatly appreciated
[04:54] <blackxored> Ghastly: when I do http://^ I get invalid URL, chrome bug? :P
[04:54] <AbhijiT> Ghastly, describe your problem here in short
[04:54] <AbhijiT> lol :D
[04:55] <tomreyn> blackxored: keep a terminal window open with the same command you ran now for some hours, see how it develops. it will be a single hop of course, now that you have the VPN going, but it's still nice to know whether the is loss there.
[04:55] <Ghastly> haha, sorry
[04:55] <KREDO> BlueEagle I looked at the CPU but there's nothing
[04:55] <blackxored> tomreyn: hours, yeah right ;) that won't really be a feasible thing to do
[04:55] <blackxored> i mentioned dialup, right?
[04:56] <Difesa> Hello
[04:56] <Ghastly> pretty much crystalspace through either a manual install, or ubuntu managed install, spreads EVERYTHING out
[04:56] <blackxored> ok, 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] <evilsushi> KREDO: paste your top output
[04:57] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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] <blackxored> otherwise I'll have to take a quick jump to my work to do it
[04:57] <blackxored> tomreyn: oh dude, i've been wasting your time, it was dialup from the very beginning ;)
[04:57] <sacarlson> blackxored: I didn't read back to were your problem began but what I did see may be a mtu setting might fix it
[04:57] <Ghastly> the problem is... hmm
[04:57] <blackxored> nevertheless I found some useful answers
[04:58] <Ghastly> I cant get the environmental variables to set correctly, or for it to build into a single directory
[04:58] <Ghastly> *install
[04:58] <blackxored> sacarlson: 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 so
[04:58] <tomreyn> blackxored: you didn't waste my time, no worries.
[04:59] <blackxored> tomreyn: great, that's the spirit, so any clues about caching ???
[04:59] <blackxored> will it prove helpful
[04:59] <blackxored> through a VPN link?
[04:59] <evilsushi> Ghastly: use ./configure --help see if there is a option to pass the lib into the configure
[04:59] <blackxored> it'll speed things up or it's a total waste of time/resources/you name it
[04:59] <sacarlson> blackxored: wow dialup, It's too many beers back to remember anything about that
[04:59] <KREDO> apt-get uses 100% CPU
[05:00] <blackxored> evilsushi: 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] <Difesa> Sorry 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 installer
[05:00] <blackxored> sacarlson: the ones I'll get into myself when we get rid of these ;) but sadly it's what we've got for outside access
[05:01] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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] <madmn> i can't format it on the windows machine either it won't let me
[05:01] <evilsushi> blackxored: so tell ghastly, not me =P
[05:01] <madmn> how can i fix it or is the usb drive messed up
[05:01] <ybit> any ideas for fixing the video output for gtk-recordmydesktop? http://heath.blip.tv/file/4772416/
[05:01] <juk> !format | madmn
[05:01] <blackxored> evilsushi: my bad, pipe it for me plz
[05:02] <blackxored> tomreyn: here's the thing, i'm pretty sure that at the network layer I won't be getting any faster
[05:02] <blackxored> which is totally subjective but that's my though
[05:02] <madmn> i just want to format the usb drive nothing else
[05:02] <madmn> so i can get a partion table on it
[05:03] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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 wine
[05:03] <evilsushi> madmn: system->admin->disk utility is a gui way to format
[05:03] <blackxored> tomreyn: mtr has been running from all this talk, after I left and re-joined, 0 packet loss
[05:03] <BlueEagle> KREDO: Is your computer running slow?
[05:03] <Ghastly> heh evilsushi / blackxored
[05:03] <BlueEagle> madmn: sudo fdisk /dev/sdf
[05:03] <Ghastly> I was actually doing said (prefix / custom install dir) as was waiting for help
[05:03] <BlueEagle> madmn: Hang on. Let me get you a tutorial. :)
[05:03] <blackxored> tomrey: I have a slow link here, on to the server the actual internet access is respecfully fast
[05:04] <blackxored> which is also respectfully far ;)
[05:04] <sri_> how to use bittorrent client in ubuntu.. its not working.. how to enable that
[05:04] <BlueEagle> madmn: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html
[05:04] <Ghastly> thank you both very much
[05:04] <evilsushi> sri_: a torrent client is provided with ubuntu
[05:05] <madmn> says it is unknown
[05:05] <tomreyn> blackxored: so the issue is network throughput (bandwith / data transferred over time)? or reliability fo your network link?
[05:05] <blackxored> BlueEagle: 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] <BlueEagle> madmn: 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 smoothly
[05:05] <BlueEagle> blackxored: Because he'll hardly learn anything from it. ;)
[05:05] <blackxored> tomreyn: 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 blazing
[05:06] <KREDO> BlueEagle not working properly but I'm afraid that computer is not good
[05:06] <blackxored> I wanted to know if putting a cache server on the endpoint would help my dialup UX to seem faster
[05:06] <pnorman> to	
[05:06] <overclucker> fdisk it a little too heavy
[05:06] <blackxored> BlueEagle: good point, is on you if we don't hear from him again ;)
[05:06] <tomreyn> blackxored: so you are getting all the speed you can expect to get, based on its technical limits, on the dial-up line?
[05:07] <overclucker> sfdisk or cfdisk would probably be better for a first time user
[05:07] <blackxored> I'm not 100% sure, but I have a strong feeling I am
[05:07] <sri_> its not getting started.. its not working
[05:07] <evilsushi> both of those are more confusing than fdisk imo
[05:07] <blackxored> since it's to limited
[05:07] <pnorman> tomreyn: I just moved the server to it's home for the next 10 years, and it came up properly on bootup
[05:07] <blackxored> the speed ;)
[05:07] <sri_> 0.00
[05:08] <pnorman> Which 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 over
[05:08] <BlueEagle> madmn: When you've defined the partition you need to give it a type. press "T" and select type 7 "HPFS/NTFS"
[05:08] <overclucker> cfdisk too much gui for you, hehe
[05:08] <blackxored> I'd personally stick to fdisk/mkfs but I do find parted quite useful and easy
[05:08] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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.
[05:09] <blackxored> and of course gparted, which was my initial recomm endation
[05:09] <BlueEagle> blackxored: It's just an USB drive that's already w/o a partition table.
[05:09] <blackxored> tomreyn: netperf requires a server?
[05:09] <juk> madmn: why not just right click and format?
[05:09] <blackxored> juk: the brilliant answer ;)
[05:09] <BlueEagle> juk: Because you cannot right-click a drive that has got no partitions.
[05:09] <blackxored> tomreyn: I remember a tool which was client/side
[05:09] <juk> BlueEagle: ah
[05:09] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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.
[05:10] <BlueEagle> juk: But thank you for playing.
[05:10] <juk> BlueEagle: np
[05:10] <blackxored> tomreyn: meaning?
[05:10] <BlueEagle> madmn: Now after you've written the partition table with "w" quit fdisk with "q"
[05:10] <blackxored> I assume I just can't try to connect anywhere, right?
[05:10] <tomreyn> pnorman: i do not understand what you are trying to say.
[05:11] <tomreyn> blackxored: netperf measures the trhoughput of network interfaces.
[05:11] <blackxored> tomreyn: i'll stick to speedtest for the moment, it's flashy but who cares
[05:11] <BlueEagle> madmn: 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] <BlueEagle> madmn: I recomend you reformat it in any case.
[05:11] <blackxored> I didn't like the term debugging ;) sounded like a full OSI stack evaluation at what's now 12:11am here ;)
[05:11] <tomreyn> blackxored: you can use it to check whether there is less throughput on the VPN than there should be.
[05:12] <BlueEagle> blackxored: Pfft... It's 06:12 am here. ;)
[05:12] <pnorman> tomreyn: it's working
[05:13] <blackxored> i'm a late sleepier, you guys are early wakers, who would tell?
[05:13] <overclucker> shame on you blackxored, BlueEagle for having the wrong times, it's 9:13pm here
[05:13] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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-su> I 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] <blackxored> Ok, but I might ask if we can we add more content that the times here ;)
[05:14] <blackxored> tomreyn: i'm about to do that, so you'll get out of me for a little while ;) as soon as flash doesn't crash yet again ;)
[05:14] <Frenk> Hello, I have a question. I have someone connected via SSH to my PC, how do I close his ssh session? (its not a hacker)
[05:14] <blackxored> flash usually hates linux
[05:14] <paq7512> when they release a service pack (10.4.2) is it a bunch of fixes to the point when they release it or do they ever add new things?
[05:14] <blackxored> or me, who can tell?
[05:14] <BlueEagle> madmn: ofcourse you could just install gparted and partition it from there. It's got a nice graphical interface.
[05:14] <blackxored> paq7512: i believe is an ISO? ;)
[05:15] <blackxored> i'm out
[05:15] <blackxored> speed testing
[05:15] <blackxored> for that matters
[05:15] <BlueEagle> Frenk: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart
[05:15] <juk> !iptables | Frenk
[05:15] <BlueEagle> Frenk: Make sure to disable the account you created for him.
[05:16] <tomreyn> pnorman: congratulations. :-) if you want to change which NIC gets assigned to which eth* interface name, edit /etc/udev/rules.d/*-persistent-net.rules
[05:16] <evilsushi> Frenk: ps -ef |grep ssh
[05:16] <evilsushi> Frenk: pkill -9 <pid>
[05:16] <juk> Frenk: cut the power plug
[05:17] <evilsushi> juk: lol
[05:17] <Frenk> Oh I solved that by htop and kill user@pts/3 =)
[05:17] <evilsushi> many ways to do things
[05:17] <Loshki> Frenk: presumably, he can just login again if he wants...
[05:18] <Frenk> Loshki: dont think so. He had a car-accident.
[05:18] <pnorman> tomreyn: Ah, that's where it is. Thanks
[05:18] <evilsushi> Frenk: edit your sshd_config add AllowUsers <user1> <user2> .. this will allow you to control what users are allowed to connect to u via ssh
[05:19] <overclucker> Frenk: you just closing a session he left open?
[05:19] <snotmonkeybawls> hi i am having troubles with my awl5088 mini usb driver
[05:19] <Snakkah> After 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] <Frenk> overclucker: yes.
[05:19] <snotmonkeybawls> anybody ever work with it?
[05:19] <Snakkah> It's also saying that my external hard drive has one bad sector.
[05:19] <Snakkah> Is this just an update bug, or what?
[05:21] <evilsushi> snotmonkeybawls: whats the prob
[05:21] <tomreyn> pnorman: 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] <snotmonkeybawls> well i was trying to install my awl5088 network adapter
[05:22] <littlerue> hi guys, is there any way i can get ls to restrict the output to just hidden files or to just directories?
[05:22] <tomreyn> pnorman: unless you're using really current hardware there, maybe.
[05:22] <evilsushi> littlerue: man ls
[05:22] <snotmonkeybawls> 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 10kb
[05:22] <Snakkah> No answers?
[05:23] <Loshki> Snakkah: 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] <littlerue> evilsushi: 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] <evilsushi> littlerue: regex
[05:23] <evilsushi> littlerue: ls -a | grep '^\.'
[05:23] <Frenk> I 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] <pnorman> tomreyn: 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 initially
[05:24] <evilsushi> littlerue:  http://www.robelle.com/smugbook/regexpr.html
[05:24] <lamefun> What's the size of ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso, in bytes?
[05:25] <littlerue> evilsushi: ok, so ls has no ability to do this itself?
[05:25] <snotmonkeybawls> evilsushi: 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 10kb
[05:25] <tomreyn> pnorman: 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 work
[05:25] <Strife89> Is there any way for me to make the battery meter show a percentage indicator over/in place of the icon?
[05:25] <Strife89> (Ubuntu 10.10)
[05:26] <nunuyabiz> I installed wordpress on ubuntu server, but later uninstalled it. now when I reinstall it, it doesn't install correctly. How can I get it to install correctly/
[05:26] <pnorman> tomreyn: On a side note, the reason I got the card is the machine reboots under heavy network usage with the motherboard ethernet
[05:26] <robertzaccour> recordMyDesktop doesn't record properly when basic compiz is running. Default compiz settings that is. Does this qualify as a bug?
[05:26] <tomreyn> pnorman: uh that's ugly. tried a bios upgrade?
[05:27] <evilsushi> littlerue: it prob can, you can read the full manual here               info coreutils 'ls invocation'
[05:27] <Snakkah> Loshki, what do you make of this one bad sector appearing right after a major system update and the Disk Utility ALSO reporting my external hard drive with a bad sector, also after this update?
[05:27] <Loshki> Frenk: some SMART data is vendor-specific, so you might check for your particular model, but offhand, your disk looks ok and stable to me...
[05:27] <evilsushi> littlerue: whats wrong with regex?
[05:27] <agike> #slug
[05:27] <ybit> anyone have an idea what my stereo in recording device location is? /dev/dsp is OSS
[05:27] <ybit> and i use pulse
[05:27] <juk> robertzaccour: depends on how you define properly ;)
[05:28] <pnorman> tomreyn: nope - a better network card was on my list of hardware to buy anyways, so I just got it sooner then I had planned to
[05:28] <Frenk> Loshki: thx. is there a (console) utility which can tell me whether my smart values are good or bad?
[05:28] <Loshki> Snakkah: 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] <robertzaccour> juk, 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 bug
[05:29] <robertzaccour> juk, by a few blurred frames I mean it only shows a few frames
[05:29] <nunuyabiz> Please help. This is a simple install question. When I uninstall something, why doesn't it reinstall correctly. I'm trying to reinstall wordpress
[05:29] <pnorman> tomreyn: Managed to send a message just as you left. Basically, I had planned to get an intel network card eventually anyways
[05:29] <Loshki> Frenk: Well, I like gsmarcontrol -- http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/Home
[05:29] <evilsushi> nunuyabiz: #wordpress
[05:30] <robertzaccour> nunuyabiz, sudo apt-get purge <package name>
[05:30] <nunuyabiz> evilsushi this is not a wordpress issue. it's an ubuntu issue
[05:30] <robertzaccour> nunuyabiz, then install again
[05:30] <Loshki> Frenk: oops, that's not a console app. The only console app I know about is gsmartcl...
[05:30] <evilsushi> wordpress is in the repos?
[05:30] <nunuyabiz> robertzaccour thanks
[05:30] <evilsushi> lmao
[05:30] <juk> robertzaccour: sure, just run bug-buddy
[05:30] <littlerue> .
[05:30] <evilsushi> wordpress is not something you should install from a repo
[05:31] <robertzaccour> juk, bug-buddy?
[05:31] <nunuyabiz> robertzaccour that won't purge my mysql database will it?
[05:31] <Frenk> Loshki: thx =) Ill take a look at it
[05:31] <littlerue> so
[05:31] <juk> !bug | robertzaccour:
[05:31] <pnorman> tomreyn: The forums had a similar report (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682900) from someone with a different realtek onboard controller. Looking at his system info, I think it's a problem that only shows up if you can saturate a gigabit connection, or close to it
[05:31] <littlerue> is it possible to get ls to display just regular files and directories? or do i have to use the '-a' switch to just get everything?
[05:31] <Guest76682> hey guys i'm back
[05:32] <tomreyn> pnorman: oh i see. well as long as this works for you i guess it's fine. for the next buy, there's actually ways to ensue you buy something which will be supported by linux out of the box. there are hardware/PCI ID databases and related buyer guides out there.
[05:32] <evilsushi> littlerue: why not just use find
[05:32] <aroshlakshan> hey can anyone tell me is there a net meter software for ubuntu?
[05:32] <evilsushi> littlerue: read the man pages dude
[05:32] <blackxored> so
[05:32] <Strife89> Is there any way for me to make the battery meter show a percentage indicator over/in place of the icon? (using Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop)
[05:32] <juk> blackxored: wb
[05:32] <evilsushi> littlerue: find . -type d
[05:32] <littlerue> evilsushi: im not actually wanting to use ls
[05:32] <blackxored> Do you want to be back in time by 20 years? I bet you're. Maybe I
[05:32] <blackxored> should become a speedtest host on this link? ;) You tell me:
[05:32] <littlerue> evilsushi: im implementing my own 'ls' like functionality, but im just trying to understand the 'ls' api
[05:32] <blackxored> download: 0.03mbps, upload: 0.06mbps, ping: 1068ms
[05:33] <VooDooNOFX> blackxored: Thanks for the tips earlier. I just put the hdd into another laptop, installed from there and moved it back to my netbook. Seems to be working, mostly, now :)
[05:33] <blackxored> VooDooNOFX: that's good news, but don't get offended when I tell you I don't have a clue on what you're talking about ??? Nothing personal :P
[05:34] <aroshlakshan> please guys can anyone tell me is there a net meter software for ubuntu?
[05:34] <blackxored> so those are my numbers, I'll apply for speedtest host and then go straight for a VC ;)
[05:34] <pnorman> tomreyn: 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 at
[05:34] <littlerue> evilsushi: 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 specify
[05:34] <littlerue> evilsushi: so 'ls -rc' just displays constants, etc.
[05:34] <evilsushi> littlerue: ill use it
[05:35] <blackxored> littlerue: it actually looks like is running a buggy version of ls, uhh ls -RC
[05:35] <blackxored> nah i'm sleepy this is not really me
[05:35] <blackxored> tomreyn: ya still around?
[05:35] <littlerue> blackxored: this is actually for exploring runtime state of a ruby process, it's not actually for exploring your file system
[05:35] <tomreyn> blackxored: yes
[05:36] <researcher1> when we apply proxy setting System Wide does it append the apt.conf file?
[05:36] <blackxored> littlerue: really, how's so? are you working on a gem wrapping ls?
[05:36] <blackxored> tomreyn: so did you see my numbers, they're not at the very least, encouraging
[05:36] <littlerue> blackxored: no, it's this: http://banisterfiend.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/turning-irb-on-its-head-with-pry/
[05:36] <snotmonkeybawls> i recently reinstalled ubuntu 10.10, and i was downloading at 300 kb  a sec with an old network adapter. i recently created a module for my awll5088 airlink mini usb network adapter and installed it. after the install, i now only dl at 10 kb at the most. is there anyway to get back that bandwidth?
[05:36] <overclucker> littlerue: go get the coreutils source package
[05:36] <littlerue> blackxored: im enhancing the shell commands for pry
[05:37] <aroshlakshan> plaease can any one help me
[05:37] <robertzaccour> nunuyabiz, i have no idea what that is sorry
[05:37] <blackxored> littlerue: i'll check the link, I remember on something called ruby shell or rush, i did tried, kinda loved it, went back to ipython ;)
[05:37] <Snakkah> Loshki, you said to download the manufacturer's diagnostic tool for hard drives. I did. It only runs in Windows and running it in WINE won't detect my hard drive. Is there any alternative? :/
[05:37] <blackxored> littlerue: it's cool
[05:37] <robertzaccour> nunuyabiz, you can back it up if you're unsure
[05:38] <juk> aroshlakshan: net meter?
[05:38] <researcher1> is there an application to recover a bad VideoCD
[05:38] <aroshlakshan> yep
[05:38] <aroshlakshan> a net meter
[05:38] <aroshlakshan> a software that records my traffic
[05:38] <Loshki> Snakkah: nearly all manufacturers have a standalone version which you can boot into (for people who don't have windows installed). Look for one of those and use it instead...
[05:38] <lubuntu> n
[05:38] <blackxored> littlerue: it's kinda ruby for sysadmins on steroids I kinda liked it, someday, sometime, I'll give it a try, thanks for the link
[05:38] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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?
[05:39] <lubuntu> hola
[05:39] <blackxored> tomreyn: that was weird in deed
[05:39] <blackxored> how's this spanish bot command thing?
[05:39] <blackxored> !es | lubuntu
[05:39] <blackxored> hey that was a great shot ;)
[05:39] <tomreyn> blackxored: i think it's really just bad measurement in this case.
[05:39] <blackxored> tomreyn: i was telling that to myself
[05:40] <lubuntu> que
[05:40] <lubuntu> eso q
[05:40] <blackxored> how's even possible upload twice as faster as upload, well it's faster leave the comments for later, we all now that's far from faster ;)
[05:40] <lubuntu> help
[05:40] <m4v> lubuntu: este canal es de habla inglesa, por favor entra a #ubuntu-es para soporte en español
[05:40] <lubuntu> español
[05:40] <blackxored> lubuntu: que aqui se habla ingles, usa #ubuntu-es para un canal de ubuntu en español
[05:40] <evilsushi> !es | lubuntu
[05:40] <blackxored> evilsushi: copycat ;)
[05:41] <tomreyn> blackxored: you'd probably get more realistic stats if you just download something file of a couple megabytes filesize from a nearby webserver using wget and check its average speed.
[05:41] <evilsushi> blackxored: haha
[05:41] <lubuntu> ojbñioyvbgio

[05:41] <FloodBot1> lubuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:41] <blackxored> can someone do something about this?
[05:41] <m4v> lubuntu: no hagas eso por favor :(
[05:41] <blackxored> lubuntu: sleep time?
[05:41] <blackxored> nah?
[05:41] <evilsushi> ugh
[05:42] <blackxored> tomreyn: but on the other side what does it tell me about the network latency stuff you were talking me about
[05:42] <evilsushi> I need a program that watches a directory and notifies me of any changes
[05:42] <kevdog> How do you want to be notified?
[05:42] <blackxored> evilsushi: inotify or something?
[05:42] <evilsushi> pipe it to mutt and send me a email
[05:43] <evilsushi> sms would be even better =)
[05:43] <sri_> how to change system startup os selection menu
[05:43] <juk> aroshlakshan: i think you want system monitor applet on gnome-panel
[05:43] <kevdog> You 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 possible
[05:43] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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.
[05:44] <blackxored> evilsushi: yeah, inotify it is, another shot, you can have even shell script aware tools installing inotify-tools for that matter
[05:44] <blackxored> tomreyn: in deed
[05:45] <blackxored> without vpn the results were better, but didn't really made a big difference
[05:45] <sri_> how to change the delay of os selection menu
[05:45] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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 1.0
[05:45] <aroshlakshan> juk: it does not count the my whole traffic. it only counts my traffic in a single session. when i restart my PC it resets
[05:45] <evilsushi> kevdog: kinda sorta what I am doing now.. I think inotify or dnotify may be better since its a daemon
[05:45] <blackxored> sri_: /etc/default/grub, search for timeout, update-grub and reboot
[05:46] <kevdog> evilsushi: Probably -- but cron is a daemon too!!
[05:46] <juk> aroshlakshan: ah
[05:46] <blackxored> tomreyn: i was testing both ways, when the vpn was active chose some server from the UK, so it was close
[05:46] <tomreyn> blackxored: but in fact i don't really know what commonlatencies are on voice modem links. so this can be totally okay.
[05:47] <blackxored> tomreyn: "okay" heck no it's okay, you meant standard, common, right? :P
[05:47] <evilsushi> kevdog: 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] <tomreyn> blackxored: right
[05:47] <blackxored> evilsushi: 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 you
[05:48] <aroshlakshan> juk: can you think of a solution
[05:48] <evilsushi> pfft
[05:48] <sri_> anybody pls help me to change os selection menu
[05:48] <blackxored> tomreyn: 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] <juk> aroshlakshan: you can write wrapper for ifconfig to dump stats somewere..
[05:48] <blackxored> sri_: I did answered to your timeout question, didn't I?
[05:48] <kevdog> evilsushi: Not sure how efficient either method actually is in terms of resources.
[05:49] <tomreyn> blackxored: "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_assessment
[05:49] <sri_> pls tell that again
[05:49] <blackxored> tomreyn: on it
[05:49] <juk> aroshlakshan: /j #bash many creative people out tere
[05:50] <aroshlakshan> juk: what? i didnt understand
[05:50] <blackxored> evilsushi: 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 scripts
[05:50] <blackxored> evilsushi: there you go
[05:50] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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] <juk> aroshlakshan: that's why i proposed to /join #bash
[05:50] <blackxored> tomreyn: 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..
[05:51] <blackxored> sri_: np
[05:51] <aroshlakshan> juk: k
[05:51] <aroshlakshan>  /j #bash
[05:51] <blackxored> sri_: make sure to only mess with timeout, I don't want to weight of a broken grub on my shoulders
[05:51] <blackxored> tomreyn: it's complicated
[05:51] <sri_> k
[05:52] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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] <evilsushi> aroshlakshan: records your traffic and keeps it around so you can view it anytime?
[05:52] <__shai> Hello :) 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] <__shai> But nothing before or after that range...
[05:52] <blackxored> tomreyn: really? I mean, no flash, probably no HTML5-intensive stuff, also no javascript, should be faster
[05:52] <blackxored> than many sites
[05:53] <blackxored> __shai: hoping forward to hear an answer to that, kinda tricky, specially since I believe find uses glob, but not sure
[05:54] <blackxored> tomreyn: well it talks very little about this odd case
[05:54] <tomreyn> blackxored: page load time depends on may things. in this case i think the webservers just respond a bit slow.
[05:54] <blackxored> tomreyn: almost switches to talk about DSL in a sec
[05:54] <sre-su> How to change default desktop environment from terminal?
[05:55] <blackxored> tomreyn: so again on to http caching, i don't want to waste my eye hours
[05:55] <robertzaccour> i'm adding a choppy video to the bug report
[05:55] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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.
[05:56] <blackxored> in deed, it seems, I do have to agree with you
[05:56] <blackxored> that was a nice part that vikingur
[05:56] <blackxored> :P
[05:56] <tomreyn> __shai: just within one directory level, or across subdirectories, too?
[05:57] <blackxored> but the fact is the options on what the ... i can do about it are pretty limited right?
[05:58] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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] <blackxored> I 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 muted
[05:58] <piercedwater> Does anyone know of any cli hotkey applications for 10.0.4?
[05:59] <blackxored> tomreyn: weren't a lot faster, actually let met tell you, you can shame on speedtest, but the vpn was actually faster on download/upload speeds
[05:59] <evilsushi> blackxored: you should reverse proxy everything you do to your local machine so it seems super fast =)
[06:00] <blackxored> tomreyn: let me switch buffers and actually tell you
[06:00] <blackxored> ping: 869ms, download: 0.03mpbs, upload: 0.02mbps
[06:00] <evilsushi> ouch
[06:00] <robertzaccour> hope attatching a video for the but will help the process
[06:00] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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 area
[06:00] <blackxored> evilsushi: sounds interesting, let me get a 250TB hard drive so I can get the internet ;)
[06:00] <blackxored> and browse locally, that would be heck faster
[06:01] <evilsushi> blackxored: 250TB SSD =)
[06:01] <blackxored> oh right, as it even mattered ;)
[06:01] <blackxored> from the vpn, pinging google.co.uk it's 875ms
[06:01] <blackxored> speedtest wasn't that wrong
[06:02] <blackxored> i'm starting to believe (or resign) that we can't do pretty much anything about it
[06:03] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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, too
[06:03] <blackxored> Ok 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 network
[06:03] <evilsushi> blackxored: do a real test, scp a file over the vpn and scp a file over non-vpn link
[06:03] <blackxored> tomreyn: I haven't noticed
[06:03] <blackxored> tomreyn: sleepy I guess
[06:03] <blackxored> it's indeed way faster
[06:03] <tomreyn> blackxored: 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] <blackxored> and I chose a server close enough to the vpn
[06:03] <gedankenlos> hi
[06:04] <blackxored> tomreyn: I'll have, sadly, for everytime I'm not at work
[06:04] <blackxored> I like being at home
[06:04] <blackxored> kids don't listen to this
[06:04] <blackxored> but this is hungover
[06:04] <blackxored> or something
[06:04] <blackxored> excuse my english, ain't native, BTW
[06:04] <extra11> freenode been having ddos issues all day too apparently
[06:05] <blackxored> I've got that hungover from a kesha song ;)
[06:05] <blackxored> ok i've been digging a little, I guess, mostly there's squid or something like polipo
[06:05] <blackxored> for http caching
[06:05] <mneptok> !enter > blackxored
[06:05] <robertzaccour> can i attatch a video to a bug report?
[06:06] <blackxored> i used polipo for tor on the past, didn't really get acquantined to it, just pasted the tor config
[06:06] <evilsushi> i use squid for reverse proxy
[06:06] <robertzaccour> i eat squid sometimes. only fried though
[06:06] <blackxored> robertzaccour: you can? who knows? you should? well i'm a little off ubuntu development, but that's not the way we used to look at bugs
[06:06] <evilsushi> I had deep friend brussel sprouts yesterday, delicious.
[06:06] <blackxored> evilsushi: nice, I use apache at work
[06:07] <foxjazz> anyone know of a good aggregator for linux
[06:07] <blackxored> evilsushi: and this is relevant to us because? :P
[06:07] <blackxored> evilsushi: kidding
[06:07] <blackxored> foxjazz: what about liferea, RSSOwl
[06:07] <blackxored> ?
[06:07] <evilsushi> blackxored: same.. I cache ad content to devices we have that we server up to our customers =P
[06:07] <robertzaccour> blackxored, just trying to submit a bug report with a video attached of what I'm talking about
[06:07] <blackxored> evilsushi: ad content? umm interesting
[06:07] <foxjazz> BlackBinary, will google
[06:08] <evilsushi> blackxored: yea, guess what I do
[06:08] <blackxored> robertzaccour: my question is? is the video really necessary for reproducing what you're experiencing?
[06:08] <mneptok> robertzaccour: videos attached to bug reports does not scale
[06:08] <blackxored> evilsushi: no idea
[06:08] <evilsushi> pron
[06:08] <robertzaccour> blackxored, its a video recording of exactly what is happening
[06:08] <blackxored> mneptok: you mean like you can't zoom them on the browser? :P
[06:08] <robertzaccour> mneptok, does not scale? what you mean by that?
[06:09] <blackxored> robertzaccour: I won't be the one to tell you a conclusive answer, go #ubuntu-motu and ask there
[06:09] <robertzaccour> blackxored, whats that channel about?
[06:09] <blackxored> those are the developers of the universe repository
[06:09] <blackxored> you can also try #ubuntu-devel, for the same matter
[06:10] <blackxored> but i'm pretty sure I've never heard about video reporting before
[06:10] <evilsushi> So I made the switch a few weeks ago, took all my production servers from centos to ubuntu
[06:10] <blackxored> maybe with some compiz, fire on this is when it crashed, kinda cool lol
[06:11] <evilsushi> haha
[06:11] <blackxored> evilsushi: so you switched "from" centos
[06:11] <blackxored> great to know
[06:11] <blackxored> please tell godaddy
[06:11] <Strife89> Is there any way for me to make the battery meter show a percentage indicator over/in place of the icon? (using Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop)
[06:12] <blackxored> and a lot more of VPS providers which offer centos as it's most stable, which i dont' care, but only - which I do care- solution
[06:12] <evilsushi> blackxored: try linode for vps systems
[06:12] <evilsushi> blackxored: godaddy is a cpanel hosting service yea? that bloated crap
[06:12] <blackxored> evilsushi: nah, I've pretty much sticked to amazon
[06:12] <blackxored> evilsushi: ok, you might be hurting some feelings
[06:13] <evilsushi> w/e
[06:13] <blackxored> I was thinking about transferring my domain there
[06:13] <blackxored> but the hosting really sucks
[06:13] <blackxored> and reading some reviews, well it's not for me
[06:13] <blackxored> linode to the list
[06:13] <evilsushi> linode is the best
[06:13] <blackxored> sure, you start to see a pattern
[06:14] <blackxored> hey my hoster is blackxored, he's the best, everyone's provider seem to be the best
[06:14] <blackxored> but I do agree, I've read a lot of good stuff about linode
[06:14] <blackxored> the best? who can tell? but it certainly is good enough
[06:14] <inasdeen> hi, need some advice, can i use plasma workspace (only) on gnome?
[06:14] <blackxored> on the other hand
[06:14] <blackxored> I switched to cloud
[06:15] <blackxored> - are we making this a personal talk? -
[06:15] <evilsushi> dunno
[06:15] <blackxored> the very first time I wanted to save a snapshot and revert my machine
[06:15] <evilsushi> take it to ubuntu-offtopic
[06:15] <blackxored> if I take anything anywhere, I'd rather go to sleep
[06:15] <blackxored> let's make ontopic
[06:15] <evilsushi> lol
[06:15] <blackxored> dude, ubuntu is the best option you could choose for a servewr
[06:16] <blackxored> better? :?
[06:16] <evilsushi> I dunno about that, but it certainly is nice.
[06:16] <IdleOne> !ot
[06:16] <evilsushi> I'm just use to rpm so I've got to understand how to build a deb package so I can create my own repo
[06:16] <evilsushi> for my ubuntu servers, I guess thats the next step.
[06:17] <blackxored> cool
[06:17] <blackxored> my production is a mixture of debian/centos/ubuntu
[06:17] <blackxored> but it's because I like diversity
[06:17] <blackxored> invoke-rc.d: command not found on centos, if you know what I mean
[06:17] <robertzaccour> Whenever 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.
[06:18] <evilsushi> you make custom deb packages for your servers?
[06:18] <inasdeen> anyone?
[06:18] <blackxored> that's why I'm better suited to leaving ubuntu when they finally switch to unity ;)
[06:18] <blackxored> kidding!?
[06:18] <robertzaccour> blackxored, why not just use a different DE like gnome, xfce, kde, or a wm?
[06:18] <George__>  in the repos, I do believe this qualifies as a bug.
[06:18] <George__> 22:18 < evilsushi> you make custom deb packages for your servers?
[06:18] <blackxored> evilsushi: well I'm more a rubyst so we tend to package gems
[06:19] <evilsushi> blackxored: yes i've been using gems more and more lately
[06:19] <evilsushi> REE ftw
[06:19] <blackxored> robertzaccour: it was a joke
[06:19] <evilsushi> ubuntu goes to unity and gnome3 is going to launch soon
[06:19] <robertzaccour> blackxored, oh ok haha. I was thinking, dude you could always just change the DE haha
[06:19] <blackxored> evilsushi: there was a post about the debian ruby maintainer talkign about all this, you should really get into that, it describes a lot of stuff on why gems
[06:19] <evilsushi> blackxored: links me
[06:20] <blackxored> robertzaccour: ain't that what we all love, diversity, freedom and choice?
[06:20] <blackxored> evilsushi: ?
[06:20] <evilsushi> link me to this article
[06:20]  * centHOGG freedom of choice is what you got
[06:20] <blackxored> robertzaccour: who knows, maybe we'll get to love unity, and canonical has taken the big step into a dying desktop
[06:20] <blackxored> evilsushi: umm not really sure about it, you could google it
[06:21] <evilsushi> I could google it but im going to bed
[06:21] <robertzaccour> blackxored, its not complete yet, but I meant so far I don't like it. should have specified sorry
[06:21] <mneptok> !offtopic
[06:21] <evilsushi> its easier if you tell me and it goes into my logs =)
[06:21] <blackxored> mneptok: is unity offtopic?
[06:21] <mneptok> blackxored: yes, if you're not asking support questions
[06:21] <kevdog> In my limited experience, building deb packages properly are a pain for a novice like me.  In Arch its way easier -- however I'm not here to advertise the benefits of their package manager
[06:21] <blackxored> ok, my bad, i'll go to #fedora to talk about gnome-3 then, is it ok? :P
[06:22] <blackxored> or I'll get banned there as well?
[06:22] <evilsushi> kevdog: I love pacman.. I would use arch for my desktop if they offered package signing.. Which they may now.
[06:22] <mneptok> blackxored: i do not know the channel rules for #fedora
[06:22] <blackxored> evilsushi: maybe we should go to bad
[06:22] <blackxored> mneptok: I have this sick bad humor, don't really care about it
[06:22] <kevdog> what's your beef with package signing?
[06:22] <blackxored> it's off for me guys, have an amazing day/morning/afternoon/whatever
[06:23] <blackxored> i'll be back in the morning
[06:23] <evilsushi> kevdog: its a great way to get mitm attacked
[06:23] <blackxored> best wishes to everyone
[06:23] <kevdog> ohhh, yea the evil mitm (theoretical) attack.  Forgot about that
[06:23] <mneptok> #ubuntu-offtopic for these non-support topics, please.
[06:23] <seidos> kevdog: woof
[06:23] <kevdog> but I do get your point
[06:24] <kevdog> meow
[06:24] <seidos> ow
[06:24]  * lazy247x I having networking problems?? can't log on the internet with my linux??? I connect but no webpages popup
[06:24] <kevdog> mneptok: no one is ever in #ubuntu-offtopic -- but I understand the rules
[06:24] <evilsushi> looks like you can make .deb packages with checkinstall.. anyone used this before?
[06:25] <kevdog> checkinstall makes "fake" packages.
[06:25] <Gnea> lazy247x: you can't?
[06:25] <kevdog> Not good to distribute between machines
[06:25] <mneptok> kevdog: 23:25 -!- Irssi: #ubuntu-offtopic: Total of 215 nicks [0 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 215 normal]

[06:26] <kevdog> mneptok: All bots!!
[06:26] <seidos> lazy247x: how do you know you are connected to the internet?
[06:26] <Gnea> lazy247x: oh okay, the way you were saying it it sounded like you were asking if you could connect or not rather than making a statement. can you ping anything?
[06:26] <lazy247x> not not with linux
[06:26] <evilsushi> is your linux in a virtual machine ?
[06:26] <lazy247x> no
[06:26] <lazy247x> its on a duel boot
[06:26] <mneptok> lazy247x: nslookup google.com  <--- in a terminal
[06:26] <seidos> is your linux version 2.6.35?
[06:26] <evilsushi> wireless?
[06:26] <lazy247x> yes

[06:27] <mneptok> lazy247x: welcome to #ubuntu
[06:27] <kevdog> waste of time :(
[06:27] <Gnea> nothing but a troll, move on
[06:27] <seidos> Gnea: way to catch it.  i suspected trollship when he first started.
[06:28] <seidos> he=she
[06:28] <rww> ze!
[06:28] <kevdog> thats why name starts with lazy
[06:28] <Gnea> seidos: as did I, gotta get up early in the morning to catch it.  It's shortly after midnight here and I woke up an hour ago LOL
[06:28] <evilsushi> opensuse has a lizard
[06:28] <evilsushi> ubuntu needs a lizard
[06:28] <seidos> ubuntu needs a king cobra
[06:28] <k5egg> hey guys, I have an issue with 10.10 and screen resolution
[06:28] <lazy247x> well i had ubuntu for a long time
[06:29] <Gnea> k5egg: what's going on?
[06:29] <piercedwater> Does anyone know of any cli hotkey applications for 10.0.4?
[06:29] <k5egg> for some goofy reason its decided this CRT I'm using should be at 1280x960
[06:29] <evilsushi> well you left us for the novell dark side
[06:29] <lazy247x> but my wireless board doesnt work with it
[06:29] <evilsushi> so go ask your novell buddies
[06:29] <k5egg> arandr shows 1024x768 as an option, and when I try to set it X restarts - at 1280x960
[06:29] <Fuchs> k5egg: what graphic card with what driver?
[06:29] <mneptok> Ubuntu has the mnepolo. it needs no reptile.
[06:29] <Gnea> lazy247x: well, that's not something we can help you with, sorry, you'll need to ask in the #suse channel
[06:29] <Fuchs> k5egg: ah, you want a lower resolution?
[06:29] <k5egg> via km333 or 400 board, via driver.
[06:29] <k5egg> onboard junk
[06:30] <k5egg> yeah, lower resolution
[06:30] <seidos> or he could ask in #linux :)
[06:30] <Fuchs> k5egg: have a look at your ~/.config/monitors.xml
[06:30] <evilsushi> he could ask in #wicd
[06:30] <seidos> i wouldn't do that to the #wicd peeps
[06:30] <Fuchs> k5egg: usually the gnome tool should write it in there, and use the resolution specified in this file.
[06:30] <overclucker> how about 3 reptiles holding hands?
[06:31] <semitones> if uname -r says "generic" does that mean 32 bit?
[06:31] <kevdog> or he could just read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188
[06:31] <seidos> how about a penguin, a bsd demon, and a lizard holding hands?
[06:31] <Fuchs> semitones: ask uname -m
[06:31] <kevdog> fag alert
[06:31] <Gnea> !resolution | k5egg check out the first couple of options on the URL here
[06:31] <centHOGG> in a tree?
[06:32] <kevdog> generic means it was compiled with any processor specific code optimizations
[06:32] <evilsushi> sigh, this deb package howto is like reading a book [ #ubuntu ] or you can tell me
[06:32] <evilsushi> http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html
[06:32] <semitones> Fuchs, thanks
[06:32] <Gnea> evilsushi: yeah, it's just a matter of sitting down and following directions until something sticks
[06:32] <semitones> Fuchs, yeah, that's a better one to ask :)
[06:33] <semitones> 64
[06:33] <kevdog> evilsushi: I gave up
[06:33] <seidos> evilsushi: what is a virtual package anyway?
[06:34] <tannern> i've just changed my hostname in /etc/hostname and rebooted but when I ssh in my prompt still says `user@old-host-name`, however `hostname` gives me the correct name, why woudl the prompt be wrong?
[06:35] <Strife89> (Last repetition, I promise.) Is there any way for me to make the battery meter show a percentage indicator over/in place of the icon? (using Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop)
[06:35] <Fuchs> tannern: because you forgot /etc/hosts maybe?
[06:36] <tomreyn> tannern: have you updated /etc/hosts , too?
[06:36] <tomreyn> oh i'm late
[06:36] <tannern> ah ty Fuchs and tomreyn
[06:36] <k5egg> ahh, now I know whats going on
[06:36] <k5egg> the settings fail, when it tries to start at 1024x768 X freaks out.
[06:37] <k5egg> the keyboard quits working... but the system is still alive (tapping the power button initiates a proper shutdown)
[06:37] <k5egg> but the keyboard and mouse does nothing
[06:37] <k5egg> cant even ctrl-alt-f1 to hit a console
[06:37] <kevdog> sounds like problem with x server
[06:37] <evilsushi> Strife89: apt-get install acpi
[06:37] <Fuchs> k5egg: you might want to try Alt+SysRQ+R, CTRL+ALT+F1
[06:38] <evilsushi> Strife89:  this will not change your battery icon thingy
[06:38] <Fuchs> k5egg: this should take you to a VT so you can read logs and restart X
[06:38] <Diverdude> which commandline-ftp client is recommended in ubuntu?
[06:38] <evilsushi> Strife89: but you can atleast see the %
[06:38] <Fuchs> k5egg: if that doesn't work, you can install sshd and try to connect from a different machine in your network
[06:38] <cfedde> Diverdude: there's not much reason to use anything other than the default one that comes installed.
[06:38] <Diverdude> cfedde, which one is that?
[06:39] <kevdog> use ftp on command line -- is that what you mean?
[06:39] <cfedde> Diverdude: it's called ftp. :-)
[06:39] <sleek> i'm trying to install redis in a chroot environment... i'm having a strange problem though ... every time i chroot into the environment, i create a redis system user ... i check /etc/passwd and it's there... however, when i exit and come back into the environment, the user is gone... what's going on here?
[06:39] <Strife89> evilsushi: That's the best that can be done, then?
[06:39] <evilsushi> Strife89: yeah, you could use conky and display it on your desktop if you wanted
[06:40] <tannern> huh, I edited /etc/hosts for `127.0.0.1` to point to the correct new hostname, rebooted, and my prompt is still the old name. everything seems to work fine but it's bugging me
[06:40] <ikonia> tannern: /etc/hostname for the hostname
[06:40] <kevdog> Look up how to change your prompt then
[06:40] <Strife89> evilsushi: Giving it a whirl.
[06:41] <tannern> ikonia: yes this is after i did that
[06:41] <robertzaccour> !bug #719818
[06:41] <tannern> oh well
[06:41] <evilsushi> tannern: you could make a new prompt and set it up how you want
[06:41] <ikonia> tannern: show me the output of "uname -n"
[06:41] <juk> tannern: sudo hostname newhost; sudo sh -c 'echo newhost > /etc/hostname'
[06:41] <robertzaccour> included is a video showing exactly what the problem looks like
[06:41] <evilsushi> Strife89: have fun with conky, lots of howtos out there for it.
[06:41] <Strife89> evilsushi: Does conky in the respitories come with a config, or do I need to build one manually?
[06:42] <Gnea> k5egg: are you able to make a new account and login with it? does the same thing happen if you do?
[06:42] <Strife89> evilsushi: (I've heard of it, seen it, never actually tried it)
[06:42] <kevdog> I think you have to set up a config manually
[06:42] <darmath> Hello. I was wondering if someone can direct me to approproriate information for configuring multiple sound cards (onboard sound device + external sound card) so that different applications can direct their output to the different devices.
[06:42] <Strife89> evilsushi: (And was planning on installing it on my Debian box one of these days)
[06:42] <tannern> ikonia: `uname -n` and /etc/hostname are both the correct new name
[06:42] <evilsushi> Strife89: this looks pretty easy http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/07/conky-ubuntu-lucid-theme-among-most.html
[06:43] <ikonia> tannern: great, so it's just the PS1 prompt that's the problem
[06:43] <ikonia> tannern: echo $PS1
[06:43]  * centHOGG Philips PSC805
[06:43] <Glutsch> lo
[06:43] <evilsushi> I need a screencast or something for how to make deb packages
[06:43] <ikonia> !packaging | evilsushi
[06:44] <tannern> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567553/
[06:44] <evilsushi> this old debian howto is killing me
[06:44] <ikonia> tannern: why is that on debian ?
[06:44] <tannern> i haven't touched it :/ set up this new linode with ubuntu 10.04 tls today
[06:45] <darmath> Does the PlusAudio server "sit" between applications and ALSA?
[06:45] <ikonia> tannern: ok, you're prompt looks a little messy
[06:45] <tomreyn> darmath: i think you need to look into alsa and a dmix configutation. but it's actually well possible that there is another, more user friendly way to achieve the same on the pulseaudio layer, so look into that, too.
[06:45] <ikonia> tannern: can you show me the output of uname -a please
[06:46] <Gnea> evilsushi: http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/video?name=linuxJensMakingDeb
[06:46] <darmath> PulseAudio* rather
[06:46] <tomreyn> darmath: yes it does
[06:46] <kevdog> I hate pulse
[06:46] <tannern> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567554/
[06:47] <darmath> tomreyn: Oh ok thanks. You might be right then about looking at ALSA. (i'm only new to ubuntu..and linux..hoping i might be able to ditch windows)
[06:47] <ikonia> tannern: ahh, it's a custom ubuntu build, sadly we can't support it, but if you that explains why your prompt is messsed upt
[06:47] <ikonia> up
[06:48] <ardchoille> ikonia: the date is way off
[06:48] <kevdog> set the date
[06:48] <evilsushi> tannern: linode has a channel on efnet I think
[06:48] <ikonia> ardchoille: yes it is,
[06:48] <tannern> ikonia: ah thanks I'll just overwrite it, I mainly wanted to make sure it wasn't a sign that I had changed the hostname wrong
[06:48] <evilsushi> tannern: err they are on oftc
[06:48] <rww> tannern, evilsushi: OFTC, actually
[06:49] <ikonia> tannern: nah, a few providers do customised installs, this sort of thing isn't uncommon
[06:49] <tannern> ikonia: cool thanks all, and I'll set the time :)
[06:49] <ikonia> tannern: as ardchoille pointed out, you may want to look at your clock sync too
[06:49] <researcher1> is there an application to recover DVD
[06:50] <tomreyn> ddrescue
[06:51] <researcher1> tq
[06:52] <evilsushi> Gnea: ahh thanks, this is going to help
[06:54] <researcher1> tomreyn: does it have a GUI?
[06:55] <Green> Hello any one knows of  a Wireless U.S.B. adapter that works well with Linux(debian distros like ubuntu) or that I would be able to find help forums of?
[06:55] <tomreyn> researcher1: no, i don't think there's one for it. and  don't know one with a GUI, which doen't mean there isn't one.
[06:55] <Strife89> Hmmm, that Conky theme works beautifully, but it lacks a battery indicator.
[06:55] <Strife89> Time to get my hands dirty.
[06:55] <researcher1> ok
[06:55] <makis30> i have just downloaded oracle 10g ..and run the package installer,now i can see the oracle10g option but when i am going to open start database home page ..it opens the firefox homepage..wat to do???
[06:56] <fuzzybunny69y> Hey everyone! What is the best search to use with Ubuntu? For some reason whenever I search with Nautilus(using CTRL+F) it only searches my home folder.
[06:56] <shcherbak> Green: Make sure you know chipset, i.e. raltek, most of them are supported.
[06:57] <shcherbak> fuzzybunny69y: find, man find
[06:57] <Green> shcherbak: Thank you
[06:57] <fuzzybunny69y> shcherbak, yeah find it good I was wondering about a GUI one though
[06:58] <kevdog> most wireless usbs work with Ubuntu however it really depends on the chipset contained in the device rather than by manufacture
[06:58] <shcherbak> fuzzybunny69y: um, gui, dunno.
[06:59] <BIII> Hey, I've got a Sony Ericsson W518a cell phone that only sort of syncs with Ubuntu.
[07:00] <shcherbak> Strife89: conkycore site had few scripts for battery, otherwise acpi
[07:00] <BIII> It shows up in Rhythmbox, but not in Computer or Media
[07:01] <tomreyn> fuzzybunny69y: normally searching your home directory is sufficient. is there something special you are looking for?
[07:01] <_jesse_> fuzzybunny69y: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FindingFiles
[07:01] <shcherbak> BIII: are you using gammu/wammu?
[07:01] <Strife89> shcherbak: I installed acpi, but it had no obvious effect.
[07:01] <BIII> Not to my knowledge
[07:01] <shcherbak> Strife89: you need script to read from acpi
[07:02] <tomreyn> fuzzybunny69y: 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 system
[07:02] <_jesse_> tomreyn: really? that seems strange that running as root would be necessary
[07:02] <_jesse_> I'm pretty sure you can change the flder it searches in
[07:02] <shcherbak> BIII: wammu is first to try with mobiles, there is suppoted handset list on their website.
[07:02] <Ghastly> tomreyn, been there :p
[07:03] <toloykhan> hello there
[07:03] <BIII> If you go to places --> search you can choose where you're searching
[07:03] <liu> 8001
[07:03] <BIII> It's not as convenient as ctrl+f...
[07:03] <toloykhan> I have an iptables case
[07:04] <tomreyn> _jesse_: sure you can, just need to browse to the right directory. however, a restricted user cannot search in all places the superuser can.
[07:04] <toloykhan> I need an explanation for this line : $IPTABLES -A BAD_SITES -p tcp -m string --string "www.facebook.com" --algo kmp -j DROP
[07:04] <tomreyn> Ghastly: uh oh...
[07:04] <BIII> shcherbak: Thanks, I'll go get that
[07:04] <_jesse_> tomreyn: true, but in most default installs regular users at least have list access for almost anything
[07:05] <tomreyn> _jesse_: right, good point
[07:05] <toloykhan> hello guys i need an explanation for this line of iptables: $IPTABLES -A BAD_SITES -p tcp -m string --string "www.facebook.com" --algo kmp -j DROP
[07:06] <fuzzybunny69y> tomreyn, 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 folder
[07:06] <shcherbak> toloykhan: man iptables, in short, this rule will drop connections from facebook
[07:06] <snapp> hi
[07:06] <Slie> Any one here into developing for android?
[07:06] <Ghastly> fuzzybunny69y, if your searching a single folder (not looking through sub dirs)
[07:06] <fuzzybunny69y> and then it displays Images Documents Source code and other things at the top to filter it down more
[07:06] <Ghastly> you can just type, and it will search
[07:06] <toloykhan> shcherbak , thanx for replay.. but what exactly the algo and kmp mean
[07:07] <_jesse_> Slie: just throw your question out there
[07:07] <shcherbak> toloykhan: this just trying to know, reading
[07:07] <^Phantom^> Is there any way to use terminal to clear what's in the cache?
[07:07] <_jesse_> though for android specific questions #android-dev will probably be better
[07:07] <keastes> !ot > Slie
[07:07] <yourwhiteshadow> so evidently i can't do anything to my home folder, can't create new documents/folders, what should the permissions be on this folder and how can i change it
[07:08] <Slie> _Jesse_: not really any question i'm new to IRC but thanks !
[07:08] <toloykhan> shcherbak: do you have and resources
[07:08] <_jesse_> ^Phantom^: what cache?
[07:08] <^Phantom^> the ram
[07:08] <^Phantom^> Or rather
[07:08] <^Phantom^> Wait, I'm not on my android
[07:08] <^Phantom^> Sorry.
[07:08] <_jesse_> Slie: :) np, this channel is just for ubuntu support questions only though
[07:08] <shcherbak> toloykhan: Select the pattern matching strategy. (bm = Boyer-Moore, kmp = Knuth-Pratt-Morris) from: http://linux.die.net/man/8/iptables
[07:09] <tomreyn> toloykhan: kmp is a string comparison algorithm, used to match a string against a packet in this case.
[07:09] <fuzzybunny69y> I am just not sure how to get nautilus to search the current folder I am in without searching the home folder. Like say if I wanted to find all the files in the current directory with the word php in it or something
[07:09] <Slie> _jesse_: Well it does have to do with Ubuntu:)
[07:09] <robertzaccour> fuzzybunny69y, have you tried gnome-do?
[07:09] <_jesse_> Slie: is it a support question?
[07:09] <robertzaccour> thats a good search tool. similar to spotlight in os x
[07:09] <toloykhan> tomregn: thanx very much
[07:10] <toloykhan> tomreyn: thanx very much
[07:10] <fuzzybunny69y> robertzaccour, yeah I use kupfer instead though it doesn't seem like it is updated anymore
[07:10] <TornadoXubuntu> Hello! Please by any chance do you provide some help for Xubuntu users here? [At the Xubuntu channel the support is almost non-existent].
[07:10] <marverick> oi
[07:10] <marverick> comunidade do brasil e aki ?
[07:10] <toloykhan> shcherbak: thax a lot the link is very useful
[07:10] <Slie> I can only compile Android 2.3 on a 64 bit system but yet there is very little support for the missing libraries and ect. so far the only one i have rand into is Java 1.5
[07:11] <tomreyn> toloykhan: that link is a website made out of the same information you most likely can read when typing 'man 8 iptables' on your terminal
[07:11] <Slie> "support as in information for people that are not 100% experienced,yet competent...\
[07:11] <_jesse_> !pt | marverick
[07:11] <shcherbak> toloykhan: best known tautorial: http://www.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial/iptables-tutorial.html
[07:12] <Ganymede> Do the open-source ATI drivers on Maverick have any support for power management? My laptop is running 10 or 11 degrees C warmer after I switched from fglrx to the ATI drivers.
[07:12] <marverick> tranks o/
[07:12] <marverick> im noob
[07:12] <marverick> :P
[07:12] <_jesse_> Slie: mmm, that question would be better suited for #android-dev I think
[07:12] <_jesse_> marverick: :)
[07:12] <yourwhiteshadow> i don't have access to write to my home directory, anyone know how i can get access back?
[07:13] <snapp> i want create the image of the my partition boot (is part of / lvm) i found online this: sudo grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 _chain pc gpt biosdisk lvm , but this command i must do from / of lvm whi access chroot?
[07:13] <toloykhan> tomreyn: but i couldn't find the string matching in man iptables
[07:13] <shcherbak> TornadoXubuntu: ask?
[07:13] <juk> !ask | TornadoXubuntu:
[07:13] <tomreyn> TornadoXubuntu: i'm not sure what the policy is, but if your question does not relate to the window manager, try just asking it here and see what you get in return.
[07:14] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: what does `ls -la /home`  say?
[07:14] <_jesse_> for your home directory
[07:15] <snapp> i want create the image of the my partition boot (is part of / lvm) i found online this: sudo grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 _chain pc gpt biosdisk lvm , but this command i must do from / of lvm whi access chroot?
[07:15] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567558/
[07:15] <aaditya_> hello
[07:16] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: ouch
[07:16] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: sudo chown -R imran:imran /home/imran
[07:16] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_: yeah it seems i lost access to my own damn home directory LOL
[07:16] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: assuming imran is your username
[07:16] <shcherbak> yourwhiteshadow: have your system remounted? ls -l ~
[07:17] <Slie> Please spit the system you are compiling Android source one plz
[07:17] <kisuke> how does on disable the login sound?
[07:17] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_: chown: cannot access `/home/imran/.gvfs': Permission denied
[07:17] <TornadoXubuntu> Actually, I am running (Xubuntu 10.10) with (Thunar File Manager 1.0.2). The problem i am facing is simply a huge delay of almost (35seconds) upon right clicking on the desktop or right clicking anywhere in the file system to access the ("Create Document") option. The whole system will freeze if i did not wait those 35 seconds. Please any ideas or suggestions to solve this issue are greatly appreciated.
[07:17] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: use used sudo ?
[07:18] <jasuv> disk full?
[07:18] <snapp> i want create the image of the my partition boot (is part of / lvm) i found online this: sudo grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 _chain pc gpt biosdisk lvm , but this command i must do from / of lvm whi access chroot?
[07:18] <_jesse_> *you used
[07:18] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_: yeah of course :)
[07:19] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: strange, try `sudo su` and then the chmod command as above
[07:19] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_: chmod or chown?
[07:19] <BIII> Okaaayy... I installed it and now my phone shows up as three cameras. I guess I'll settle for that.
[07:19] <Slie> does any one know how to change a directory using cd / ?
[07:19] <juk> TornadoXubuntu: have you been upgrading recently?
[07:20] <tomreyn> snapp: You question does not seem to make sense. It is most likely a bad translation.
[07:20] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: sorry, *chmod
[07:20] <_jesse_> oops
[07:20] <_jesse_> lol
[07:20] <_jesse_> chown
[07:20] <snapp> i want create the image of the my partition boot (is part of / lvm) i found online this: sudo grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 _chain pc gpt biosdisk lvm , but this command i must do from / of lvm whi access chroot?
[07:20] <FloodBot1> _jesse_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:20] <shcherbak> yourwhiteshadow: check log first please, look for "write only"
[07:20] <_jesse_> BIII: lol
[07:20] <_jesse_> Slie: what?
[07:21] <yourwhiteshadow> shcherbak: check which log?
[07:21] <mneptok> yourwhiteshadow: what is your Linux username?
[07:21] <yourwhiteshadow> mneptok: "imran" but on boot it shows "imran-P5Q-PRO"
[07:22] <Slie> how do you use man cd?
[07:22] <ilea> hi all
[07:22] <ilea> i have a question
[07:22] <rww> Slie: you don't. `cd' is a shell builtin; try `help cd' instead.
[07:22] <kisuke> Slie: just type "man cd" in a term
[07:22] <shcherbak> yourwhiteshadow: /var/log/ look in   syslog and messages and dmsg
[07:22] <TornadoXubuntu> juk: I update my PC on a regular basis. But i did not upgrade from a previous release, this is a fresh install on a brand new empty hard drive. My PC was working perfectly the last 4 months without any issues under the same system.
[07:22] <_jesse_> Slie: cd doesn't have a man entry
[07:22] <mneptok> yourwhiteshadow: sudo chown -R imran:imran /home/imran && sudo chmod -R 640 /home/imran && sudo chmod -R -x+X /home/imran
[07:22] <_jesse_> afaik
[07:23] <TornadoXubuntu> *hard disk
[07:23] <Slie> how can i install manual pages on any system with a terminal ?
[07:23] <ilea> i bought a printer and if i plug it in linux will search automaticaly for driver or i have to search for it?
[07:24] <pragma_> I'm trying to run glxgears but I get a empty black window instead of the gears spinning...
[07:24] <ilea> i am asking to know what to do
[07:24] <BIII> ilea: It should automatically go to CUPS
[07:24] <KB1JWQ> ilea: The former.
[07:24] <mneptok> Slie: cd is a shell built-in command, so it does not have a nman page
[07:24] <mneptok> *man
[07:24] <juk> TornadoXubuntu: you on maverick? natty i think is not enduser-firendly yet
[07:24] <BIII> ilea: But often it won't work for brand new printer models
[07:24] <ilea> so it will automatically search or recocnize the printer
[07:24] <hilarie> What does this mean? Reading package lists... Done
[07:25] <hilarie> W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6E871C4A881574DE
[07:25] <ilea> its hp
[07:25] <BIII> ilea: You can hope.
[07:25] <yourwhiteshadow> mneptok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567560/
[07:25] <ilea> and i hear that hp haves good suport
[07:25] <TornadoXubuntu> please do you have any suggestions or tips (juk) that i can cope with at the moment?
[07:25] <pragma_> If I use the default X.org display drivers (VESA?) it shows the gears, but spinning slowly in software mode.  I want to use hardware accelerated OpenGL, which works in Windows XP on this same machine
[07:25] <pragma_> if I switch to the maverick ati/radeon drivers, I get a black window for glxgears.
[07:25] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: did `sudo su` help?
[07:25] <snapp> i want create the image of the my partition boot (is part of / lvm) i found online this: sudo grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 _chain pc gpt biosdisk lvm , but this command i must do from / of lvm whi access chroot?
[07:26] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_: i didn't try it, wasn't sure whether to use chmod or chown lol
[07:26] <MyWay> hello, everytime I reboot my notebook, ubuntu power off my hard disk and I can't mount it anymore... what can I do?
[07:26] <pragma_> anyone have any experience/suggestions for x.org and ati/radeon configuration?
[07:26] <mneptok> yourwhiteshadow: you need to put that entire command on one line
[07:26] <ilea> ok i will plug the printer in and see
[07:26] <MyWay> I have to unplug/replug it everytime
[07:26] <yourwhiteshadow> mneptok: ahhh, ok lemme try again
[07:27] <juk> TornadoXubuntu: replace file manager
[07:27] <_jesse_> hilarie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SecureApt
[07:27] <TornadoXubuntu> with what juk?
[07:27] <ilea> it starded automatically to search and install the printer:)
[07:27] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: haha chown
[07:27] <BIII> Ah, while I'm here, I did have one other enquiry. I tried to play starcraft by mounting an .iso file with 'sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt/disk,' and everything worked until I went to play it. The install went fine, but upon launching the game it say that there is an important file that it cannot read from the disk. Is there some sort of limitation to the mount command that might cause this?
[07:28] <shcherbak> mneptok: ~/.gvfs do not have write pesmission on normal system, or usually, so it will produce err

[07:29] <shcherbak> yourwhiteshadow: ~/.gvfs do not have write pesmission on normal system, or usually, so it will produce err
[07:29] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: hmm, interesting
[07:29] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_: sorry jesse, what was that command again?
[07:29] <sre-su> How to fix this error - E: You do not have enough spave in /var/cache/apt/archives ??
[07:29] <MyWay> hello, everytime I reboot my notebook, ubuntu power off my hard disk and I can't mount it anymore... what can I do? I have to unplug/replug it everytime
[07:29] <tomreyn> MyWay: check top gnome panel -> system -> preferences -> power management for a related option and deactivate it.
[07:29] <mneptok> yourwhiteshadow: sudo chmod 700 .gvfs
[07:29] <MyWay> ok tomreyn
[07:29] <mneptok> yourwhiteshadow: those are the perms that dir has on my system
[07:29] <tomreyn> MyWay: also check with your hardware vendor for a firmware update.
[07:29] <shcherbak> yourwhiteshadow: youwould want to unmount  /home first
[07:30] <yourwhiteshadow> mneptok: permission denied lol
[07:30] <BIII> sre-su: Is your hard drive full?
[07:30] <hilarie> @_jesse_ ty, will look at that
[07:30] <juk> !info pcmanfm
[07:30] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: `sudo su` followed by `sudo chown -R imran:imran /home/imran'
[07:30] <mneptok> _jesse_: that will make no difference
[07:30] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: well actually the second sudo isn't necessary, but it shouldn't batter
[07:30] <sre-su> BIII: No
[07:30] <_jesse_> *matter
[07:30] <tomreyn> MyWay: regarding the disk drive, that is. even if this only happens on linux but not other operating systems.
[07:30] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_ su invalid option -- 'R'
[07:30] <MyWay> I don't know, I use only linux
[07:30] <mneptok> yourwhiteshadow: are you currently connected to FTP, SFTP, or other file servers that would use GVFS>
[07:30] <lamefun> how to change Jabber password in Empathy?
[07:31] <shcherbak> _jesse_: sudo su is not ubuntu way of fixing stuff
[07:31] <tomreyn> MyWay: good choice ;-)
[07:31] <MyWay> :)
[07:31] <yourwhiteshadow> whoops sorry all, i unmounted the file system
[07:31] <yourwhiteshadow> and it works now
[07:31] <yourwhiteshadow> x.X

[07:31] <MyWay> I'll check for a firmware upgrade now
[07:31] <yourwhiteshadow> CHEERS all
[07:31] <FloodBot1> yourwhiteshadow: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:31] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: :P
[07:31] <tomreyn> MyWay: do you know what drive model you have there precisely?
[07:32] <shcherbak> yourwhiteshadow: Champ
[07:32] <yourwhiteshadow> _jesse_ & shcherbak & mneptok: thank you, you guys are awesome
[07:32] <_jesse_> yourwhiteshadow: I was going to suggest that, but since it seemed to be trying to change the perms on that file I figured it was mounted
[07:32] <MyWay> tomreyn: how can I check it? I know it's a WD My Book USB 3.0

[07:43] <_jesse_> Talicom: yeah, uninstall the old kernels
[07:43] <Slie> how do it turn on linux?
[07:44] <_jesse_> Talicom: or your can configure grub to just not list them
[07:44] <chris_osx> #
[07:44] <shcherbak> chris_osx: $
[07:44] <_jesse_> Slie: stop
[07:44] <Slie> _jesse_: okay, okay i promise
[07:45] <Talicom> I'd prefer to uninstall, but I'd also like to read up on grub configuration. could you tell me how to do the first, and point me to an online source for the other?
[07:46] <Slie> _jesse_: will you tell me how you learned how to dominate *unix? like the work flow?  all the way down to kernel programming or configuring?
[07:46] <_jesse_> Talicom: yeah, `apt-get remove linux-image-<stuff>` for the first, <stuff> should be the version number
[07:47] <_jesse_> Talicom: as for grub, I assume it's on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 somewhere
[07:47] <Talicom> Thank you very much
[07:49] <_jesse_> Talicom: np, take note not to uninstall all of the kernels of course ;) not sure if it'd let you do that

[07:52] <slie> does that use X11 or is that irellevant?
[07:53] <_jesse_> littlerue: you're offtopic
[07:53] <Flannel> slie: You mean view them in text form? or open up something in framebuffer? or what?
[07:53] <rww> littlerue: it doesn't matter.
[07:53] <slie> Flannel: what would you recommend?
[07:53] <_jesse_> slie: evince is graphical; wasn't sure what your end goal was
[07:54] <Flannel> slie: I'm just curious what you're trying to do and what you had in mind by 'view a picture' in a terminal
[07:54] <slie> _jesse_: probably less graphical as possible.

[08:08] <littlerue> slie: yeah i've got a few patches on ruby core
[08:08] <xman> hi :)
[08:09] <Wulfy> littlerue,  and what would you have to program if us lowley sysadmins didnt do our job? pen and paper?
[08:09] <mneptok> littlerue: stop the personal attacks and insults.
[08:09] <^Phantom^> I downloaded gifsicle, but every time I try to launch it I get told that my window is a terminal.
[08:09] <^Phantom^> I type "sudo gifsicle" and get "gifsicle: <stdin>: is a terminal"
[08:09] <slie> littlerue:Cool, will you recommend a path for me if i tell you my current "and i know f$$#@ng stupid path. i need some corruption
[08:10] <mneptok> ^Phantom^: gksu gifsicle
[08:10] <^Phantom^> Um, I was just told to authenticate it to modify essential parts of my system, mneptok
[08:10] <vak> hi all
[08:11] <slie> littlerue:lunux wirelless wep, java, little python, basic all around all programming knowledge, and fuck windows
[08:11] <mneptok> ^Phantom^: GUI apps get run with gksu, not sudo, i have no idea what gifsicle does.
[08:11] <littlerue> slie: learn to spell first, bitch
[08:11] <mneptok> littlerue: last warning.
[08:11] <^Phantom^> mneptok, here is the description from Ubuntu Software Center "This is a tool for manipulating GIF image files. It has good support for transparency and colormap manipulation, simple image transformations (cropping, flipping), and creating, deconstructing, and editing GIF animations, which it can also optimize for space."
[08:11] <vak> System Monitor is OK, but I need to track down the applications that cause high CPU load peaks. Any desktop app can do this?
[08:12] <slie> littlerue:Okay i know how to spell Bitch, i learned now will you tell me?
[08:12] <Wulfy> mneptok, i woulda considerd your last request before that the last warning he seems to be trolling for a reason
[08:12] <mneptok> ^Phantom^: OK, i just use The GIMP :)
[08:12] <^Phantom^> Ah.
[08:12] <Wulfy> vak could try htop
[08:12] <mneptok> Wulfy: i'm in a generous mood. or just stupid.
[08:12] <slie> littlerue::)P
[08:12] <Wulfy> mneptok, more so than me maybe i need more coffee :)
[08:13] <mneptok> Wulfy: i mix Nembutol and a horse tranq in mine. helps a lot on IRC.
[08:13] <^Phantom^> mneptok, I would imagine maybe gifsicle is missing a front-end?
[08:14] <vak> Wulfy: great, thx, gonna try it. Other ideas are still welcome!
[08:14] <Wulfy> vak htop will prity much nail most headaches on the head
[08:14] <mneptok> ^Phantom^: i have never used the app. i just know that GUI apps can complain about sudo, and gksu should be used.
[08:14] <slie> So will someone tell me where i can find a mentor?
[08:14] <snapp> want i create the image of the partition boot (the partition boot is part of / lvm) i found online this link: sudo grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 _chain pc gpt biosdisk lvm , this command must be execute from / of lvm how chroot?
[08:14] <^Phantom^> mneptok, Ah, okay thank you.  I have learned more about ubuntu tonight.  ^_^
[08:14] <Wulfy> mneptok,  share the love :)
[08:15] <kisuke> snapp: what is your native language?
[08:15] <slie> they have to be serious and can have three of my ideas and take partner in six of my ideas and after that we can talk about how we work together
[08:16] <vak> kisuke: "C" ! :)
[08:16] <bryhoyt1> I use "rsync --link-dest" for a backup script, over ssh. When I used to use it between Ubuntu 9.10 and Redhat something-or-other, it creates hardlinks for identical files. When I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, it no longer creates hardlinks (it creates full copies of every file). At first I thought the problem was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features#hardlink, but turning that off doesn't fix it! What gives?
[08:16] <xman> exist any im program for ubuntu,kubuntu
[08:16] <kisuke> vak: ?
[08:16] <kisuke> vak: oh, lol
[08:17] <vak> kisuke: i am guessing re native language :)
[08:17] <^Phantom^> xman, there are several
[08:17]  * kisuke unplugs vak's speakeres
[08:17] <^Phantom^> xman, empathy internet messaging is one that supports multiple protocols (msn, aim, etc.)
[08:20]  * vak talks with gestures now
[08:20] <nukem> hey im trying to compile my own kernel using make-kpkg, the compile goes fine however when it goes to make the debian package it fails with error: package linux-image-2.6.37-anfs+ not in control info
[08:20]  * diemos is taking five girls and himself down to LA this weekend to party.
[08:20]  * diemos stoked.
[08:20] <nukem> i never added the +
[08:20] <nukem> so i dont get what im doing wrong
[08:21] <nukem> the same command works in Debian lenny
[08:22] <vak> Wulfy: htop doesn't allow to track down what apps have been lusting the CPU during last time
[08:22] <vak> Wulfy: at least I don't see this capability in the console app "htop"
[08:22] <bryhoyt1> Why is rsync --link-dest broken since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10? It used to work in older versions.
[08:22] <TornadoXubuntu> how to set KDE Dolphin 1.5 as my default file manager under xubuntu 10.10?
[08:23] <vak> quite strange. this demand is quite generic... many people should like to know what app has slowed the PC down for last N minutes

[09:34] <lucagiove> sre-su: bzip is too slow..
[09:34] <arvind_khadri> hi, i have been using FF from the mozilla PPA, but now I want to switch back to the Ubuntu repository one, how do i do that? If i try to remove firefox, it doesnt let me do that as it says ubuntu-desktop recommends it.
[09:34] <bazhang> !info ppa-purge | arvind_khadri
[09:35] <Gnea> guest101: cheers, sorry I couldn't give you the answer you wanted, it's actually physically and electronically impossible
[09:35] <Gnea> oops
[09:35] <lm> ahah
[09:35] <jhattara> arvind_khadri, when opening the synaptic package manager, you can also change which version you want to use from a specific package, in case different repositories have different versions
[09:35] <bazhang> arvind_khadri, ubuntu-desktop is safe to remove btw.
[09:36] <jhattara> can't remember the specifics, as i don't have an ubuntu desktop at hand right now
[09:36] <MagicJ> I have a system where in a directory du reports: 27080676 ./public_html  then shows all the subdirectories of public_html, they do not come close to 10% of the 27080676, where is the soace bein used
[09:36] <bazhang> jhattara, he needs ppa-purge
[09:36] <Nibinaear> Had to post this, MTBS syndrome: http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/The-Tragedy-of-Microsoft-Trained-Brain-Syndrome-71800.html

[09:36] <researcher1> when I type the command sh hplip-3.11.1.run the CLI says No network but my proxy setting is correct n is applied systemwide
[09:37] <Blorg28> Is there a way to tell ubuntu to mount my usb drive to a fixed folder ?
[09:37] <jhattara> bazhang, does, firefox-ppa works different from other non-standard repositories ?
[09:37] <lucagiove> Blorg28: udev rules
[09:38] <wietze> hello; I am experiencing very slow wifi connection with ubuntu 10.10; much as described as in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/linux/+bug/621265 ; does anyone happen to know if there is a working solution to this issue?
[09:38] <bazhang> jhattara, not that I know of, he said he wanted to switch back the official line, so ppa-purge is what he would need
[09:38] <amit> what is difference between gksudo and sudo?
[09:38] <DJones> !gksudo | amit
[09:38] <bazhang> !gksudo > amit
[09:39] <jhattara> bazhang, if the package has same name, but different version in two different repositories, you can also choose in synaptic which version to use and downgrade software
[09:39] <lm> /c/
[09:39] <bazhang> jhattara, that's not the case with respect to PPA
[09:40] <Blorg28> lucagiove: no other way ?
[09:40] <lucagiove> Blorg28: don't know that's the low level way  :)
[09:41] <Blorg28> lucagiove: yeah I know but it would be easier for me to tell the person to click here and here and choose a folder, than edit an undev rules (find the hdd serial with lsusb etc lol) :) thanks anyway
[09:41] <jhattara> bazhang, so it's a bug with PPA specifically ?
[09:42] <bazhang> jhattara, you may be thinking of app "pinning"
[09:43] <lucagiove> Blorg28: don't know then.. would be useful as you said
[09:43] <jhattara> bazhang, can't remember what exactly i did, but recently i wanted to try a software version that wasn't in the standard repos, can't remember if i used PPA or another non-standard repo to upgrade, then when i found out that the newer version didn't work as expected, i just used synaptic to force version
[09:43] <lucagiove> Blorg28: for what I know the disk is always mounted in /media/"partitio label" right?
[09:44] <Blorg28> lucagiove: I think so
[09:44] <Blorg28> lucagiove: the thing is : I need the person to plug the drive, and then I want it to click on a bash script I made that will rsync his home
[09:45] <bazhang> jhattara, forcing version is not  a good decision as compared to purging the ppa and getting back on the official track
[09:45] <Blorg28> lucagiove: problem is : if the drive is not mounted in the same directory each time, it will fail
[09:45] <jhattara> bazhang, might cause problems later on if the standard repos upgrade, right ?
[09:46] <bazhang> jhattara, ppa are always a crapshoot. the fewer the better
[09:47] <MegaHerz> Hi all. I have problems with my mouse pointer. It stops accepting clicks once per 2-3 minutes, then somehow it start working again, then fail again etc...
[09:47] <MegaHerz> Where could be the problem?
[09:47] <jhattara> bazhang, depends on what you need and what you're doing, there are some stuff where your options are 1) build from source, 2) build a deb from source, 3) use PPA, in those i'd always use the option 3: PPA
[09:48] <lucagiove> Blorg28: I see
[09:48] <rumpe1> MegaHerz, i would test it on another usb-port, if its has a usb connector
[09:48] <jhattara> bazhang, but i can agree to using as little external repositories as possible
[09:48] <lmvc> Hi guys. Im trying to install Mathematica in my ubuntu 9.10. I got a .sh file to install and according to the manual, I mush write sh file.sh. After 3 minutes I execute the command I got: CRITICAL FAILURE: PrintIntroduction() Error. In the next line ... ProductTitle not defined... and finally, ..... Installation failed. See /temp/InstallErrors-4105. I open InstallErros-4105 but I dont understand anything there. Please help me with this
[09:49] <Karen245> Hello, Can someone tell me what is the recommended/common file/folder permissions to set on apache server? and which user owner to use ?
[09:49] <lucagiove> Blorg28: you could make some tests looking at the mount output command..
[09:49] <MegaHerz> rumpe1: I did it, and tried another mouse too - same resulty
[09:49] <MegaHerz> rumpe1: also, right mouse button - works, while left - don't
[09:49] <Blorg28> lucagiove: right. I have to find a way to list the mounted device, find the serial, and rsync on it
[09:50] <rumpe1> MegaHerz, then i would recommend a look into the system logs like dmesg/messages/Xorg.0.log...
[09:50] <lucagiove> Blorg28: if the disk is always the same you can check the UUID
[09:50] <jhattara> Karen245, 644 with owner other than apache process for everything you don't need to write through web interface
[09:51] <Blorg28> lucagiove: yes the disk is the same. What's the UUID ? how can I get it ? fdisk ?
[09:51] <MegaHerz> rumpe1: see nothing interesting about mouse
[09:51] <lucagiove> Blorg28: the UUID is the partitio id which is always the same..
[09:51] <F|shie> I am trying to install a dummy-snd module to enable some applications that requires a sound driver, but i get this error http://pastebin.com/sFJeyKqe any1 got clues to this -_-
[09:52] <jhattara> Karen245, 666 (or 664 if apache's process belongs to the group) if apache needs to write something, or preferrably 644 with owner set to apache's owner if possible
[09:52] <Jordan_U> F|shie: Have you tried simply using padsp/aoss?
[09:52] <jhattara> Karen245, and +x (or 755 775 777) for folders
[09:52] <lmvc> Somebody help me with my problem. Please
[09:52] <F|shie> no
[09:52] <Blorg28> lucagiove: ok. I'll take a look at it, thx
[09:53] <F|shie> can u tell me about it
[09:53] <basw> anyone ever made a full encrypted filessystem under ubuntu?
[09:53] <Jordan_U> F|shie: Try "padsp some_command" where some_command is the program you're trying to run.
[09:53] <Blorg28> basw: using encfs here
[09:54] <jhattara> Karen245, with any system that is accessible via anything else except physical connection, keep the write permissions as restrictive as possible
[09:54] <basw> Blorg28, do you know how to unwrap the encryption key of the filesystem, not the users home .Private dir?
[09:54] <basw> I have the passphrases
[09:54] <Blorg28> basw: you're talking about encfs ?
[09:54] <basw> ecryptfs
[09:54] <lucagiove> Blorg28: just google uuid
[09:54] <F|shie> Jordan_U: im trying to setup a siptosis with skype on a ec2...i dont think pulseaudio would work like that
[09:55] <basw> Blorg28, Luke
[09:55] <Blorg28> basw: don't know, I'm using encfs. It's an encryption system using fuse, and encrypting on the fly
[09:55] <F|shie> Jordan_U: That is why i need to load module snd_dummy ...
[09:55] <Blorg28> lucagiove: yep already done, thank you
[09:55] <^Phantom^> sorry for all the quits joins earlier
[09:55] <basw> I can retrieve the passphrase from the /home/user/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase but not from the whole disk
[09:55] <Jordan_U> F|shie: skype works fine with alsa.
[09:55] <MegaHerz> Now my mouse pointer turned into vertical slash akin entering text, and feels no clicks, and presses no buttons when clicking
[09:56] <Blorg28> lmvc: pastebin your error file ?
[09:56] <basw> Blorg28, i want to make a new encryption key not a new passphrase
[09:56] <Blorg28> basw: I'm not using ecryptfs, I'm using ENCFS, I can't help you sorry
[09:57] <F|shie> Jordan_U: actually i did not try it after compiling alsa...i was trying to load a dummy module....but this error does not  make sense...
[09:57] <MegaHerz> And there are repeating messages in syslog when I touch almost not-functioning Touchpad: psmouse.c: Touchpad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 4
[09:57] <basw> but how would you change the encryption key of an encfs system then?
[09:58] <basw> Blorg28, but how would you change the encryption key of an encfs system then?
 sorry I dont underestand what you mean by pastebin. Im not an english speaker
[09:58] <bazhang> lmvc, paste.ubuntu.com
[09:58] <Jordan_U> F|shie: You shouldn't need to compile ALSA, or do any manual configuration for that matter, to use skype.
[09:58] <Blorg28> lmvc: you copy the content of your error file on http://pastebin.com/ or the link bazhang gave you
[09:58] <Blorg28> lmvc: so we can see the content
 OK
[10:01] <leaveboy> It's time to go!byebye everyone!
[10:02] <Blorg28> lmvc: don't forget to give us the link
[10:02] <TommyG> Is the pure-ftpd that comes with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS compiled with support for virtual hosts?
 Ok I already did that. The file name is MathematicaV8. Thanks again

[10:04] <shamelessn00b> I have an issue regarding alsa on ubuntu maverick
[10:04] <Blorg28> lmvc: what are you launching exactly ?
[10:05] <edwardteach> !ask
 an .sh file. According to what i read, this file is the installer.
[10:06] <shamelessn00b> how can I use a dummy soundcard on ubuntu maverick
[10:06] <Blorg28> lmvc: do you have the original dvd mounted ?
[10:06] <mae_tae> what is this port 47512 all about ?
[10:07] <Blorg28> lmvc: look here http://support.wolfram.com/kb/1146
[10:07] <Blorg28> lmvc: follow those steps
 I got the installer from a friend. I already read these steps, however, for the installation, they start mounting the dvd. I dont have a dvd
 just have a .sh file
[10:09] <CoreWar> How can I write the string "foo\0" in a buffer in assembly ? (considered I have malloc a block of size 4 and store the pointer address in register %si)
[10:09] <Blorg28> lmvc: I can't help you more sorry. Contact the company from where you bought the license
[10:10] <rumpe1> CoreWar, what does this has to do with ubuntu?
[10:10] <Phoebus> Hey, anyone know an easier way to get Ralink usb wireless to work - why are guides min 5 pages for just a wireless adapter? Wtf?
 Ok im gonna ask my friend where did he get the installer. I dont know if they actually bought Mathematica. Thanks my friend
[10:10] <llutz> Phoebus: that you'll have to ask ralinktech
[10:11] <ashish> how to install libconfig on ubuntu?
[10:11] <Phoebus> llutz, bought this stupid adapter because it "said" linux support, didn't know I had to do 20 steps for it to work... ffs.
[10:12] <CoreWar> rumpe1: sorry for this out of subject, is there a chan more appropriate for assembly questions ?
[10:14] <ljsoftnet> what does it mean if my processor has 1 core and 2 threads? i mean the intel atom N450?
[10:14] <Jordan_U> Phoebus: Ralink is an odd company, they often release open source drivers but the drivers are unstable and completely inapropriate for inclusion in the mainline kernel. They're getting better, but for current linux support I would stick to PCI wireless cards rather than USB and specifically Atheros and Intel cards.
[10:14] <histo> ljsoftnet: 1 core with hyper threading probably would show up that way
[10:15] <ljsoftnet> histo: does it have the same, power with 2 cores?
[10:15] <edwardteach> Phoebus,  nearly all wifi cards  work well with ubuntu and linux, you need to find out the chip and driver if it will not plug and play!
[10:16] <Phoebus> Jordan_U, I realize that now, but I'm just bad - especially at the false advertising. It's like "oh yeah, linux suports, in 30 steps or more!!" :P Gah, I want to throw it out the window, spent a day trying to make it work >.<
[10:16] <histo> ljsoftnet: no two cores would be two cpus each with their own hyper threading.
[10:16] <histo> ljsoftnet: I'm sure you can find specs for that processor on google.
[10:16] <Jordan_U> Phoebus: Return it and send a complaint to Ralink. The latter especially.
[10:17] <histo> ljsoftnet: I have a 550 which I believe is the dual core 1.8ghz
[10:18] <ljsoftnet> histo: ok thanks man
[10:18] <Phoebus> Jordan_U, thinking about sending them a bomb, or anthrax envelope to be precise... but yes.
[10:18] <amit> i ahve deleted a user through command deluser but when i go to terminal in home and type ls -l  it shows the user that i had deleted.howz it possible and how to get rid of this?

[10:22] <amit> iqpi: i have created a user and delete it through terminal using deluse but when i checked through ls -l  it shows that user that i have deleted?
[10:22] <edwardteach> amit,  its just the dir and file struct left after the  skeleton  set up for the user! i think you have to del manualy !
[10:23] <basw> sacarlson: thanks but i use full disk encryption not .Private encryption..
[10:23] <iqpi> ashish: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libconfig

[10:23] <MegaHerz> How to run a script upon every Xserver start?
[10:23] <MegaHerz> what is the Ubuntu way to do this?
[10:23] <Blorg28> amit: or use --remove-home next time
[10:23] <sacarlson> basw: but does it use ecryptfs?
[10:24] <bazhang> ashish, you'll need to be more specific
[10:24] <ashish> I want to parse my config files
[10:24] <ashish> lets say I want all the packages
[10:24] <ashish> how do I do that?
[10:24] <bazhang> ashish, then search in synaptic and install them
[10:25] <iqpi> amit: 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 user
[10:25] <amit> blorg28: it said user doesnot exist
[10:25] <ashish> did that, but when I run a file using the libconfig.h header , it doesnt compile
[10:25] <sacarlson> basw: there is like 4 different encryption formats, without knowing that makes it a bit harder
[10:25] <Blorg28> amit: yes, you already delete the user
[10:25] <Blorg28> amit: I said "next time" for another user
[10:26] <bazhang> ashish, you have build-essential installed ?
[10:26] <Blorg28> amit: deluser remove the user, but not the home folder (by default), unless you specify --remove-home
[10:26] <amit> so how to remove home
[10:26] <ashish> nope, I thought I did though
[10:27] <ashish> let me try after installing build essential
[10:27] <iqpi> amit: sudo rm -r /home/user
 i want to retrieve the encyption key, not the passphrase because i have that, from my full encrypted disk. I use encryptfs

[10:28] <amit> iqpi:thanx
[10:28] <amit> blorg28:thanx
[10:28] <basw> sacarlson,  you can get the encryption key of the .Private folder with: ecryptfs-unwrap-passphare file
[10:29] <basw> sacarlson, i need the full disk encryption key but cannot find the command for that..
[10:29] <medfly> hi dudes, I want my (separate) /home partition to be encrypted, is there a trivial way to do this on install?
[10:29]  * medfly is on the livecd
[10:29] <medfly> I found some guide but it's describing a complicated way :P
[10:29] <sacarlson> basw: what link did you use to create a full encrypted install?
[10:29] <amit> how to decrypt my md5 password through terminal
[10:30] <basw> link, the cd
[10:30] <monstro> I'm running the ubuntu 10.10 into live cd! which is the password to log in on system?
[10:30] <basw> no link, just the cd with the iso file
[10:30] <iqpi> monstro: there is no password
[10:30] <bazhang> ashish, lets keep it in channel please
[10:31] <iqpi> monstro: just type sudo before the comand and you will get root privileges
[10:31] <ashish> ok, bazhang , how do I direct the messages to you?
[10:31] <bazhang> ashish, why do you want to compile? and what exactly
[10:31] <ashish> is it done automatically when i write ur name?

[10:32] <frans__> `
[10:33] <edwardteach> medfly,  on install its just a check box ! but it not allways a good idea!
[10:33] <iqpi> bazhang: ok, i was just givin information, I agree with you ;)
[10:33] <medfly> edwardteach: why not
[10:34] <medfly> but sweet, good to know

[10:36] <medfly> I'm not that much of a novice...
[10:36] <ashish> bazhang, what info are u wanting?
[10:36] <medfly> I'm just really lazy
[10:37] <sacarlson> basw: I meant what website did you use as a method to encrypt your entire install?

[10:57] <Pumpkin-> jaeger_beer: very VERY crude option. Setup a webserver, make it serve whereever you are storing the syslog files. (+security considerations)
[10:58] <Guest60211> is it possible on ubuntu to watch my network to see who is actually downloading my files i share to make sure nobody is cracking me
[10:58] <Pumpkin-> but I'd generally read syslog output, particularly from multiple systems with some combination of tail and grep on the command line
[10:58] <robertzaccour> ever notice nobody ever pirates Ubuntu?
[10:59] <Ve2> That is because Ubuntu implements a new kind of DRM
[10:59] <Ve2> Called F.R.E.E
[10:59] <jaeger_beer> Oke understood. No graphical tool available. I prefer ssh in combination with tail then
[11:00] <Pumpkin-> jaeger_beer: if your needs are met by the free version of splunk, you might want to consider that too.
[11:00] <ikonia> robertzaccour: don't be stupid please, it's an open license
[11:01] <robertzaccour> duh
[11:01] <robertzaccour> i was making a joke
[11:01] <nagaozen> hey
[11:01] <ikonia> robertzaccour: then don't, you've been told the topic of this channel
[11:01] <jaeger_beer> oKe splunk i shall try. Thanks
[11:01] <nagaozen> anyone here could help me to test my new gedit-plugin ?

[11:01] <sacarlson> Guest60211: there are many ways one being using wireshark  that will provide you the ip that connections come and other info

[11:03] <suigeneris> !wubi
[11:04] <Guest18482> is there a way to uninstall all the "recommended updates" you did in the past? I'm afraid I installed too much...
[11:04] <suigeneris> hello
[11:04] <rumpe1> Guest18482, no
[11:05] <madfox> Guest18482 turning off your computer and going outside where you belong helps
[11:05] <kokozedman> hey guys....
[11:05] <kokozedman> anyone what official kernel version is the current kernel for maverick?
[11:05] <suigeneris> in 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?
[11:06] <kokozedman> i'm looking into using TUN/TAP feature inside LXC.... and that only works with kernel built from official 2.6.35.9 or greater
[11:06] <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.
[11:07] <madfox> kokozedman, get maverick if you insist, and merely install the proper kernel you need
[11:07] <MadHaTTer_666> :( my linux liscense was revoked
[11:08] <Guest18482> Pumpkin the thing is I just have a small harddisk and it's getting too full
[11:08] <ikonia> MadHaTTer_666: what are you talking about ?
[11:08] <Guest18482> madfox, but today is my day off from work!
[11:09] <Pumpkin-> ahh, so you don't really want to roll back old updates, you just want to uninstall things you don't use :)
[11:09] <MadHaTTer_666> lool so far i asuck at linux
[11:09] <ikonia> MadHaTTer_666: ok, are you using ubuntu ?
[11:09] <MadHaTTer_666> yes
[11:09] <erUSUL> kokozedman: 2.6.35
[11:10] <MadHaTTer_666> how to u terminate a process in terminal?
[11:10] <ikonia> MadHaTTer_666: ok, check out https://help.ubuntu.com it's a good starting point
[11:10] <ikonia> MadHaTTer_666: it will give you an idea of the basics of how to use ubuntu
[11:10] <erUSUL> MadHaTTer_666: kill PID
[11:10] <suigeneris> after installing wubi, I am not being asked what OS I want. how come?
[11:10] <suigeneris> !wubi
[11:10] <MadHaTTer_666> any suffix or input later?
[11:11] <sagaci> suigeneris, mustn't have installed properly
[11:11] <kokozedman> madfox, erUSUL: i know that it's using 2.6.35.... but exactly which one? 2.6.35.0?
[11:11] <MadHaTTer_666> ohh i dont need the basics
[11:11] <MadHaTTer_666> i just keep running into problems
[11:12] <ikonia> MadHaTTer_666: you said you suck at linux, learning the basics will help with that
[11:12] <erUSUL> kokozedman: i guess that all the stable patches are included in it + ubuntu specific ones
[11:12] <madfox> MadHaTTer_666 sounds like you need the basics to me...
[11:13] <MadHaTTer_666> ohh when i say i suck at linux i mean doing things more like modprobes in unusual enviroments and knowing every usable app
[11:14] <madfox> MadHaTTer_666 and yet kill is not a modprobe
[11:14] <MadHaTTer_666> ik

[11:20] <fedora_newb> arvind_khadri, do you know if there is a fix for it or do I have to just use a different client?
[11:21] <arvind_khadri> fedora_newb, upgrade to the latest version of empathy.
[11:21] <medfly_> how long is the install supposed to take? I think it's stuck :/
[11:21] <Guest60211> sacarlson thx very much i will give wireshark a try
[11:21] <vak> System Monitor is OK, but I'd like to track down the applications that cause high CPU load peaks during last minutes. Any desktop app can do this?
[11:23] <suigeneris> after installing wubi, I am not being asked what OS I want. how come?
[11:23] <suigeneris> I installed and re-installed
[11:24] <suigeneris> can someone help please?
[11:28] <iqpi> suigeneris: do you have more than one hard disk?
[11:29] <shaula> Hi 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?
[11:31] <suigeneris> iqpi np
[11:31] <suigeneris> no*
[11:31] <iqpi> shaula: perhaps there is a problem with mkinitcpio-busybox
[11:31] <shaula> on busybox screen it says "(initramfs) Can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)...
[11:31] <Attivism> ragazzai ilgiornalr.it è down
[11:31] <iqpi> suigeneris: how have you installed?
[11:32] <shaula> does correct sha1sum guarantees that I do not have a defected image, should I redownload it?
[11:33] <suigeneris> iqpi I just inserted the CD in windows, I got a GUI installer, I filled in the details and hit Enter
[11:33] <shaula> iqpi, 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 repository
[11:33] <iqpi> I 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.
[11:34] <iqpi> shaula: my last message wasa for you
[11:34] <iqpi> suigeneris: have you installed grub?
[11:35] <iqpi> shaula: if you redownload, and have the same error, we should check for another cause
[11:35] <shaula> iqpi, I have downladed the image from "http://releases.ubuntu.com/"
[11:36] <suigeneris> iqpi ,how do I install grub? isn't it something wubi should do?
[11:36] <Scott`> it does
[11:37] <Scott`> actually it might not, just add ubuntu to the windows bootloader
[11:38] <fedora_newb> ty arvind_khadri for the advice, fixed my problem. :)
[11:38] <iqpi> shaula: i cannot open that url, i think its broken, try this other :  http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[11:39] <arvind_khadri> fedora_newb, np :)
[11:39] <iqpi> suigeneris: grub should install from wubi check it
[11:40] <iqpi> suigeneris: 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 manuals
[11:41] <shaula> iqpi, http://releases.ubuntu.com/  is working, maybe the quotations make it fail. I have checked md5sum, sh1sum, sh256sum of the image where all seems fine
[11:41] <esterpader> freepbx
[11:43] <suigeneris> iqpi I think I got it, the OS options were set not to show. that's in windows
[11:44] <iqpi> shaula: 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 myself
[11:44] <iqpi> !wubi > iqpi
[11:44] <R3k> what is the difference between windows and ubuntu ?
[11:44] <ikonia> R3k: totally different operating system

[11:45] <R3k> windows is shit ?
[11:45] <iqpi> R3k: everything works in a differente way
[11:45] <R3k> ubuntu is shit so ?

[11:46] <R3k> and what differences ?

[11:51] <iqpi> suigeneris: i kown why you cannot boot ubuntu
[11:51] <iqpi> suigeneris: the problem is that wubi have trouble with grub2 (grub2 is the default loader for ubuntu)
[11:52] <iqpi> suigeneris: you will have to restore grub
[11:53] <miniuser> hello. i'm getting errors with "lirc": dpkg: error processing lirc (--configure):
[11:53] <miniuser>  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 20
[11:53] <miniuser> Errors were encountered while processing:
[11:53] <miniuser>  lirc
[11:53] <FloodBot3> miniuser: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:54] <miniuser> i removed it "lirc" then reinstalled it ..the above happened
[11:54] <iqpi> suigeneris: to tdo that, there are many ways, I use to do the manual one (boot with the livecd disk) chek the partions you have (ls /dev/sd*) mount the root directory in a new folder, then chroot in that folder, and finally sudo grub-install, then you will have the loader
[11:56] <suigeneris> iqpi I fixed it by setting the OS options in windows to show
[11:57] <iqpi> suigeneris: great, sorry then for my explanation, i use to do always the traditional way of doing this kind of things xD

[12:04] <Kruptein> raju: I've chmodded a dir  777  and a certain user still has no read access
[12:06] <amit> can we use two desktop environment at a time
[12:06] <choleric> Does anyone have a ballpark figure w/r/t how long shrinking a partition from ~220GB to ~196GB will take using gparted?
[12:06] <bazhang> amit, no
[12:06] <^Phantom^> Actually, I wonder if it's the DVD.
[12:06] <waqar-malik_> hello alll
[12:06] <Cyberelves> hi guys, i am having mouse issues on ubuntu 10.04. seems like my mouse starts sleeping after a while on my usb ports...
[12:06] <choleric> Perhaps I'm asking too late: I'm already committed
[12:06] <waqar-malik_> how r u
[12:07] <choleric> But I'd like to know if I'm going to be here for another hour
[12:07] <kisuke> amit: in a VM yes
[12:08] <Kruptein> it's driving me crazy  how can a user get a read-error if the dir is chmodded 777 :A AAAH
[12:08] <Kruptein> *sorry for the last bit
[12:08] <cbz> why is half of ubuntu's services started via /etc/init and half via /etc/init.d ?
[12:09] <llutz> Kruptein: symlinks always are 777, whats the permission of the link-source?
[12:09] <Kruptein> llutz: also 777
[12:09] <Kruptein> llutz: okay I solved it
[12:09] <Kruptein> thanks anyway
[12:10] <Cyberelves> is there an energy savin mode on usb ports???
[12:11] <kisuke> Cyberelves: they are either on or off generally so...
[12:11] <EnergySpirit> hi, im have a vps container with NO SWAP SPACE, and it doesn't let me run large java programs, even if I have sufficient ram. I used the -Xms and -Xmx parameters, and it keeps giving invalid initial heap size, could not create the java virtual machine. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[12:11] <raju> Mostly negative
[12:11] <drt4923> Hi, I have an ftp server running on my machine, but im not sure how to stop it, ?
[12:11] <M_Kay> hello is there a way to get rid of the bootloader on my usb flash drive?
[12:12] <llutz> drt4923: sudo service ftp stop
[12:12] <Cyberelves> kisuke, how could i disable the energy saving mode??? it really looks like that this is my major mouse issue
[12:12] <kisuke> M_Kay: have you tried formating it?
[12:12] <M_Kay> yes
[12:12] <kisuke> Cyberelves: AFAIK ther is not one, im assuming this is on a laptop?
[12:13] <Cyberelves> kisuke, true it is a notebook
[12:13] <kisuke> Cyberelves: then in that case your note book cant supply the power your mouse needs and you will need to look at getting a powered hub
[12:13] <M_Kay> now there is message that the bootloader is missing but
[12:14] <M_Kay> then the system is stopping during boot
[12:14] <drt4923> llutz: I get the error :  ftp: unrecognized service
[12:14] <Cyberelves> kisuke, thx
[12:14] <amit> kisuke:no my question is about not vmware? simply can we use two environments
[12:14] <llutz> drt4923: what ftp-server do you use?
[12:14] <drt4923> llutz: 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 machine
[12:14] <kisuke> amit: ok, can you rephrase that then, i dont think i understood your question
[12:15] <drt4923> llutz: i want to change it to something more secure, i heard ftp needs to die
[12:15] <erUSUL> drt4923: use sftp via ssh
[12:15] <amit> can we use two desktop environment at a time without using vm?
[12:15] <llutz> drt4923: look in /etc/init or /etc/init.d  for ftp and use that to stop
[12:15] <erUSUL> amit: using a nested Xserver?
[12:15] <drt4923> llutz: I have already, found nothing
[12:16] <llutz> drt4923: "sudo lsof -i :21"
[12:16] <drt4923> erUSUL: does that implement ftp over an ssh session on port 22 ?
[12:16] <amit> erUSUl:thanx i will try
[12:16] <erUSUL> drt4923: it implements sftp
[12:16] <llutz> drt4923: sftp != ftp, its a own protocol based on ssh
[12:16] <drt4923> llutz: inetd   1312 root    4u  IPv4   5164      0t0  TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)

[12:17] <llutz> drt4923: edit /etc/inetd.conf and disable the ftp thingy
[12:17] <erUSUL> !info xephyr
[12:17] <erUSUL> !info xserver-xephyr
[12:18] <amit> !nested Xserver
[12:18] <cdbs> !msgthebot | amit
[12:18] <drt4923> llutz: thanks, i have commented out the line with ftp,  is there a way to stop the server though?
[12:19] <llutz> drt4923: sudo service inetd restart
[12:19] <llutz> drt4923: or just purge inetd if you don't use it for other things
[12:25] <^Phantom^> This is cool.

[12:27] <lllhamedlll> hi to every body
[12:27] <llutz> sre-su: live-cd, ancient? then ext4dev
[12:28] <MagicJ> we don't do hi and nice things like that  in here - it adds to the confusion of what is real

[12:30] <drt4923> llutz: thanks, seems to have worked :)
[12:30] <llutz> drt4923: if you don't use inetd for other services, you should remove it

[12:31] <Gifford> Can I download Ubuntu iso from a ftp?
[12:31] <llutz> sre-su: extended, you have to use sdb6 or sdb7

[12:32] <memoryleak> Is there a way to get rid of the horizonal stripes while watching a movie with closed ATI drivers?

[12:33] <memoryleak> It's so anoying, especially in full screen mode
[12:33] <gbjk> Hi. i just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 on a machine. I've found ssh agent forwarding is no longer working, and I can't work out why. I'm using ssh -A -vvv devel 2>/tmp/view. I'm looking at the /tmp/view and see no attempt to forward
[12:33] <llutz> sre-su: whatever, you home is _not_ on /dev/sdb4
[12:33] <llutz> your*
[12:33] <maxagaz> my Ubuntu crashed, I ran LiveCD, tried fsck /dev/sda5 (my linux partition), and I get this message: fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda5, Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program ?
[12:33] <maxagaz> whan can I do ?
[12:34] <maxagaz> also, my system isn't mounted at all
[12:34] <sre-su> ah.. right :)
[12:34] <gbjk> Does anyone know what might have caused that?
[12:34] <llutz> sre-su:  you have to use check /dev/sdb6 or sdb7  which of these is your home-dir
[12:35] <sre-su> llutz: How did you identify using fstab whihc one is /home and which one is / root ?
[12:35] <sre-su> I got to  confirm about it only after able to mount it
[12:35] <kisuke> ok how does one turn off the login sounds?
[12:36] <llutz> sre-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 AllowAgentForwarding
[12:36] <sre-su> llutz: 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 checking
[12:36] <gbjk> Pumpkin-: sshd is ... sshd, right. I haven't *touched* the server!
[12:37] <gbjk> Pumpkin-: And the key is that the ssh *client* isn't even requesting forwarding.
[12:37] <sepehr> Anyone else having problem installing Liferea in maverick, as I do?
[12:37] <llutz> sre-su: sdb1-3 could be too, i just refered to your sdb4 and "thought" it has to be a logical drive
[12:37] <Pumpkin-> ahh, you upgrade the CLIENT :)
[12:37] <Pumpkin-> sorry, my bad
[12:37] <llutz> sre-su: so finally, check them all except sdb4/5
[12:37] <sre-su> Thanks
[12:37] <gbjk> Pumpkin-: No issue :o)
[12:37] <^Phantom^> I just accidentally removed the applications menu. :S
[12:37] <llutz> sre-su: what size has your /home, do you know?
[12:37] <^Phantom^> Where do I get it back?
[12:38] <sre-su> llutz: 437 gb
[12:38] <hedin> Hi, I have just upgraded to 11.04 and got an interesting bug... is this the right channel for 11.04 stuff?
[12:38] <llutz> sre-su: sdb7 then
[12:38] <Pumpkin-> erm then check ssh_config for ForwardAgent I'd guess :) (and a personal config file in your .ssh directory if you use one).
[12:38] <ion_> hi how do I recover data using using a ubuntu live cd ?
[12:38] <sre-su> llutz: 443.4
[12:38] <sre-su> alright
[12:38] <llutz> sre-su: see "blocks" column from fdisk -l output
[12:38] <^Phantom^> I can't launch anything, I accidentally removed the application menu.
[12:39] <^Phantom^> What do I do?
[12:39] <sre-su> llutz: as per the blocks then
[12:39] <iflema> hedin: /join #ubuntu+1
[12:39] <gbjk> Pumpkin-: I bypassed config files by using -A :o)
[12:39] <Pumpkin-> I just PM'd you that :)
[12:39] <^Phantom^> Help, I can't get to my drives or anything D:
[12:40] <^Phantom^> Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu again now?
[12:40] <llutz> !reset-panels
[12:40] <ion_> hello how can I recover data using ubuntu live cd I know can be done using that terminal, but I don't know the steps..anyone are willing to help out, please ?
[12:40] <llutz> !panels | ^Phantom^ try this
[12:40] <^Phantom^> Panels?
[12:40] <^Phantom^> Okay, I will try.
[12:41] <llutz> ^Phantom^: to open a terminal, alt-f2: gnome-terminal
[12:41] <^Phantom^> :O
[12:41] <^Phantom^> You are the best.
[12:42] <^Phantom^> My scattered quicklaunch items are back!
[12:42] <sepehr> Any other one having problem installing Liferea? (maverick)
[12:42] <^Phantom^> But I got the menu back!
[12:42] <^Phantom^> Thank you so much, llutz !!!
[12:42] <wulfy> Good afternoon all
[12:42] <ethanol> So eh, ubuntu 'magically' mounted my windows share for me. But eh, where did it mount it? Cause I'm trying to browse to it in filezilla but it's not under /mnt or /media :<
[12:43] <^Phantom^> Thank you so much, llutz!
[12:43]  * ^Phantom^ writes the command down for in the future.
[12:43] <llutz> ^Phantom^: you're welcome
[12:43] <^Phantom^> The lost quicklaunch buttons are a minimal issue.
[12:44] <Pumpkin-> ethanol: run "mount" and look for the NTFS/FAT thing that is mounted (assuming it is automagically mounted).
[12:44] <^Phantom^> I just have x-chat, gedit, and terminal up there.
[12:44] <^Phantom^> The three I use most.
[12:44] <ethanol> Pumpkin-, well it's actually a samba share on a linux server. And mount doesn't show it mounted.
[12:45] <ethanol> Pumpkin-, my bookmark under Places is a smb: link
[12:45] <Wulfy> any email clients simler/better than ms office's outlook? using evolution atm seems a bit..... flat?
[12:45] <ethanol> Thunderbird?
[12:45] <llutz> Wulfy: claws-mail
[12:45] <Wulfy> feature wise ?
[12:46] <llutz> thunderbird lacks all of the basic features a mua needs. :(
[12:46] <gbjk> issue solved (ish) by just running ssh-agent manually.
[12:47] <^Phantom^> I wish I didn't panic so easily at stuff so small, llutz :(
[12:47] <llutz> it can't even bounce mails without using an add-on
[12:47] <Wulfy> ill have a peek at claws-mail llutz  thanks :)
[12:48] <llutz> Wulfy: if you need exchange-compability, you're lost
[12:48] <sre-su> for chroot*
[12:48] <sre-su> If /home was encrypted durin installation then is the passphrase same as account/login password?
[12:48] <Wulfy> llutz,  no my mail servers are exim based
[12:48] <llutz> Wulfy: "mutt" then :)
[12:48] <jrib> !encrypted | sre-su
[12:48] <jrib> sre-su: read the link at the bottom about mounting encrypted homes
[12:48] <Wulfy> llutz,  and tbh if it was exchange the outlook web based interface is very caperble
[12:49] <sre-su> I'm on it jrib
[12:49] <jrib> sre-su: k
[12:49] <llutz> Wulfy: baaaah, its crap
[12:49] <Wulfy> llutz,  compared to some of the web interfaces ive seen/used its not so bad
[12:50] <llutz> Wulfy: i have to use it daily, it might be ok using IE but with firefox etc.... no thanks
[12:50] <Wulfy> llutz,  chrome :D
[12:50] <Wulfy> llutz,  any clues on how to get my media keys to interface with wine ran programs such as spotify?
[12:51] <llutz> Wulfy: nope, no clue about wine/win-apps
[12:51] <biblio> hello
[12:51] <Wulfy> llutz,  shame :)
[12:51] <ethanol> Anyone know where ubuntu temporarily mounts smb shares?
[12:51] <ion_> my pc isn't boot so I have to recovery my data on it..so how can I do it using ubuntu a live cd
[12:51] <cdbs> !ot | llutz
[12:51] <molotov> ДЩД
[12:51] <ion_> please...
[12:51] <Wulfy> cdbs ? where was the ot?
[12:52] <Guest49852> any women single??
[12:52] <jpds> Guest49852: Wrong place to ask.
[12:52] <sre-su> jrib: Still, it doesn't asy about passphrase for /home encryted during installation
[12:52] <ion_> ?
[12:52] <jrib> sre-su: you are sure you read the link at the bottom about what you are trying to do?  Because I am sure it tells you every step you must take.
[12:53] <sre-su> jrib: Yes
[12:53] <ion_> hello everyone please help ....
[12:53] <jrib> sre-su: ok, link me to what you read.  I'll take a look
[12:53] <gbjk> Okay, so my issue is actually that keychain is not setting the environment variables.
[12:53] <sre-su> jrib: There is no mention of passphrase for encryption done during installation
[12:53] <llutz> Wulfy: just ignore it
[12:53] <sre-su> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Live%20CD%20method%20of%20opening%20a%20encrypted%20home%20directory
[12:54] <wildbat> ion_: just boot with CD ~ mount the drive you need and backitup
[12:54] <jrib> sre-su: no.  at the bottom there are links that tell you what to do
[12:54] <Wulfy> llutz,  okiedokie :)
[12:54] <sre-su> jrib: Link please
[12:55] <jrib> sre-su: scroll to the bottom of what you just linked me to.  Anyway, basically, your login pass allows you to access the encryption pass. The procedure is explained in one the links at the bottom of the wiki page however
[12:55] <ion_> wildbat: yeah that's the point, I don't know how to do it ..I have the terminal open but I don't know the commands that I have to type...
[12:55] <sre-su> jrib: Are you talking about more info links?
[12:55] <jrib> sre-su: yes, though the section you just linked me to is probably sufficient as well
[12:55] <sre-su> Duh
[12:56] <wildbat> ion_:  open the gnome file browser shall have your HD shown there ~
[12:56] <jrib> sre-su: do you know what to do now?
[12:57] <ion_> wilbat: I doesn't
[12:57] <choleric> In a new Ubuntu installation on a fairly new machine (but with a traditional HD, not an SSD), should I use ext3 or ext4?
[12:57] <llutz> choleric: ext4
[12:57]  * gbjk suddenly realises that the issue is probably the WAY his xterm is being invoked!
[12:57] <ion_> wilbat: I know that I can mount it using the terminal
[12:57] <sre-su> jrib: I get these erros actually w/o asking for passphrase which is why I'm asking about passphrase for users who had encrypted /hom during installation - No directory, logging in with HOME=/ -su: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device
[12:57] <jrib> sre-su: "No space left on device"
[12:58] <sre-su> even after apt-get clean
[12:58] <wildbat> ion_:  yes you can. try System -> Admin.. -> Disk Util..
[12:58] <drt4923> ion_: you can mount it in the terminal but you dont know how to back stuff up from the terminal?
[12:58] <jrib> sre-su: there's no space left on the device.  Are you sure that's not the case?
[12:59] <sre-su> jrib:  That;s not the case. Thats' secondary. First issue is - No directory, logging in with HOME=/ <-- Why this?
[12:59] <jrib> sre-su: fix the space issue first
[12:59] <ion_> drt4923: no I won't to  make the files appear on the desktop and then back it up ...
[13:00] <sre-su> jrib: Fix space issues where? I'm on liveCD
[13:00] <ion_> drt4923: *  want
[13:00] <sre-su> jrib: /mnt cleaned of folders not required. /var cleaned. archives cleaned. autoremove done apt-get clean done. Now what?
[13:01] <jrib> sre-su: pastebin « df -h »
[13:01] <ion_> drt4923: I had done it before with a help but I forgot how to do it ...
[13:01] <drt4923> ion_: is it mounted?
[13:01] <choleric> llutz: thanks for the advice.
[13:01] <ion_> drt4923: no ..
[13:02] <gbjk> Pumpkin-: Issue is that I was starting xterm the wrong way round. I need to recall how to run xterm so that it starts in my home dir. I *think* it's xterm -e 'cd $HOME;/bin/bash/'
[13:02] <drt4923> ion_: do you know what partition its on?
[13:02] <sre-su> jrib: Well, yes I see /mnt/home and /mnt Use% as 100. How to clean that?
[13:03] <jrib> sre-su: make space, delete things I suppose
[13:03] <sre-su> jrib: delete things in /mnt/home?
[13:03] <jrib> sre-su: sure
[13:03] <sre-su> That's wierd
[13:03] <ion_> drt4923: well, I do have just one OS running ...ext3 I guess...
[13:03] <medfly> how do I enable wireless?
[13:03] <gbjk> nnngggh!
[13:04] <ibrahim> how do i stop having to authenticate with  a password every time i leave my pc for what ever length of time?
[13:04] <jrib> sre-su: why weird?
[13:04] <gbjk> So frustrating. alt+f2 and run xterm -e 'cd $HOME;/bin/bash' and my env contains the ssh-agent. Run that from shortcut and it doesn't.
[13:04] <wildbat> ion_: did you try mounting it with Disk Util. yet?
[13:04] <rumpe1> ibrahim, deactivate/remove screensaver(?)
[13:04] <ethanol> ibrahim, system -> screensaver -> uncheck lock screen?
[13:05] <rumpe1> ibrahim, ah... or deactivate lock ^^
[13:05] <ethanol> Assuming it is checked.
[13:05] <ion_> wildbat: that's it the point I don't know how to do it ...
[13:05] <jrib> gbjk: how do you start ssh-agent?
[13:05] <ibrahim> thanks guys i gotta say i am now a ubuntu convert
[13:05] <ion_> wildbat: I know that I have to type sudo -i and the next steps I don't know ...
[13:06] <drt4923> ion_: try with the gui interfaces wildbat is suggesting first, i dont mind trying over ssh if you gave me access
[13:06] <sre-su> jrib: /mnt/home contains home directory which only contains two files for .desktop and .txt created after encryption. For me to be able to deleted files from mounted /home partition I need to decrypt it first. Secondly, /mnt is / partition. What ever update/upgrade/install must have taken space in var or archives are cleared. What else do you expect?
[13:06] <wildbat> ion_:  just select then drive and  partition -> click Mount  button
[13:06] <jrib> sre-su: all I know is something needs space and you don't have it because a partition is full
[13:07] <sre-su> jrib: Which partiton is full and what needs space is exactly what I want to know
[13:07] <LikesFruit> any idea what this error means, i am trying to install grub " cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda5.  Check your device.map."
[13:08] <sre-su> jrib: http://pastebin.com/98S9B7CV
[13:08] <jrib> sre-su: well since there are only two choices and it sounds like it's easier to make space on / than on the partition for /home, I would try making space on the partition for / first
[13:08] <gbjk> jrib: Sorry, it's run via keychain .ssh/id_dsa in .bashrc
[13:08] <jrib> gbjk: probably put it in your ~/.profile instead
[13:08] <rascal999> where is the kernel? I would like to use it in a vm
[13:09] <sre-su> What all in / of LiveCD mounted as /mnt needs cleaning? I'm not able to make out now ...
[13:09] <sre-su> jrib: ^^
[13:09] <jrib> sre-su: nothing needs cleaning, you just need to free up some space
[13:09] <gbjk> Oh. My profile isn't being run ....
[13:10] <sre-su> sre-su shrugs
[13:10]  * ibrahim nods
[13:10] <gbjk> jrib: This *isn't* a login shell, though.
[13:11] <gbjk> Note: The keychain is being RUN. The vars just aren't in env if it's run through shortcut.
[13:11] <jrib> gbjk: how do you login?
[13:11] <ion_> wilbat: I can't ...
[13:11] <gbjk> jrib: Recap on issue: If you run xterm -e 'cd $HOME;/bin/bash' from alt-f2, then keychain runs and env| grep SSH has ssh vars
[13:12] <jrib> gbjk: I understand, but how do you login?
[13:12] <wildbat> ion_: any error msgs?
[13:12] <gbjk> HOWEVER, the issue is that a keyboard shortcut that runs the SAME command, does run keychain, but doesn't have vars.
[13:12] <gbjk> jrib: It's a desktop. I login using ... whatever the login prompt is.
[13:12] <jrib> gbjk: 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 shell
[13:13] <wildbat> ion_: you may wanna click the Check filesystem button ~ if there is errors in filesystem that prevent you from mounting
[13:13] <gbjk> jrib: 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] <jrib> sre-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] <jrib> gbjk: that's mighty weird
[13:13] <sre-su> jrib: But, where?
[13:14] <jrib> sre-su: either in sdb6 or sdb7
[13:14] <sre-su> jrib: That is what I'm not able to make out, where in mounted sdb6/sdb7. There is a command which tells about usage right?
[13:15] <gbjk> jrib: I know! And it's new.
[13:15] <jrib> gbjk: after you've transferred stuff over to ~/.profile, we can discuss the other issue (xterm starting in /)
[13:15] <jrib> sre-su: it doesn't matter where, anywhere
[13:15] <ion_> wildbad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567649/
[13:15] <sre-su> jrib: anywhere in / root?
[13:15] <jrib> sre-su: that's one of the two possibilities, y.es
[13:15] <gbjk> jrib: 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.
[13:16] <jrib> sre-su: the complaint is just that the device is full, so make it not full
[13:16] <jrib> gbjk: how do you create the keyboard shortcut?
[13:16] <gbjk> jrib: system menu, preferences.
[13:17] <gbjk> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1645905
[13:17] <Hans_Henrik> how can i make a program run automatically on each startup?
[13:17] <gbjk> Someone else has encountered this.
[13:17] <Hans_Henrik> (in superuser privs*)
[13:17] <wildbat> ion_: you are doing the cli way ~
[13:17] <gbjk> Also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/373111
[13:17] <wildbat> ion_: and you missing spaces
[13:18] <ion_> wildbad:so what's the right way, please ...
[13:18] <llutz> Hans_Henrik: add it to /etc/rc.local
[13:18] <wildbat> ion_: mkdir /mnt/disk && mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk
[13:18] <jrib> gbjk: in the two instances (keyboard shortcut and alt-f2), what does "echo $-" return?
[13:19] <wildbat> ion_: assuming your partition is sda1
[13:19] <ion_> wildbad:how shall I know it ?
[13:19] <gbjk> jrib: himBH
[13:19] <Hans_Henrik> llutz: so if i add "/path/to/bin", will it run as su?
[13:19] <jrib> gbjk: for both?  See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/373111
[13:19] <llutz> Hans_Henrik: yes
[13:20] <gbjk> jrib: I can also confirm that "run a terminal" shortcut works vs custom shortcuts which don't
[13:20] <wildbat> that's y you wanna you gui ~ it is easier for you ~ but you can figure that out with    fdisk -l
[13:20] <MadCarburetor> Hi
[13:20] <gbjk> jrib: For both
[13:20] <MadCarburetor> I just installed Wbar from the software center, But how do i use it?
[13:20] <Hans_Henrik> llutz: will the script what for the binary to finish before continuing, or will it just "start it and leave it"? (or whatever its called)
[13:20] <Hans_Henrik> wait*
[13:21] <gbjk> jrib: heh, you just pointed me to the url I pasted (13:17)
[13:21] <llutz> Hans_Henrik: it just calls the script and continues.
[13:21] <jrib> gbjk: sorry (no highlight = me blind).  But there is a workaround there.  You could also use something like xbindkeys instead.  It's a bug and has to be sorted out upstream
[13:21] <gbjk> jrib: The final comment seems worth a shot.
[13:22] <llutz> Hans_Henrik: your script shouldn't be interactive...
[13:22] <MadCarburetor> I can't find it under any menu anywhere?
[13:22] <gbjk> jrib: YEah, Understandable> I have the same issue. Mea culpa.
[13:22] <Hans_Henrik> llutz: ok, thanks

[13:22] <gbjk> jrib: Interestingly, I *don't* have this on my other 10.10s ... oh well
[13:23] <jrib> gbjk: that might be useful in the bug report.  In any case, I like xbindkeys (you just edit a file called ~/.xbindkeysrc; no messing with gconf)

[13:26] <zth> ardour
[13:27] <jrib> gbjk: I think compiz should use those too, or at least at one point it did (maybe try ccsm)
[13:27] <zth> lol, was gonna join the chan
[13:27] <jatt> does chrome spawn a lot of threads?
[13:27] <gbjk> jrib: I was going to do ccsm, but then I thought i'd just use your suggestion
[13:27] <andai> llutz, i'm just using it to mess around with my school's computers, lol
[13:27] <jatt> I have one chrome with several tabs and see several processes with top

[13:35] <DJones> !panels | thrillERboy
[13:36] <jrib> Hans_Henrik: you should *not* put noip2 in rc.local.  It has its own init script (/etc/init.d/noip2) already.
[13:36] <thrillERboy> but how to open terminal?
[13:36] <thrillERboy> I opened browser, by creating an empty html file

[13:38] <qubozik> thrillERboy: cntl + alt + F2 . But be  known that this will take you to a different console. If you want to go back to the desktop press alt + control + F7
[13:38] <Hans_Henrik> jrib: i got noip2 source code from no-ip.com 2 days ago. i did "sudo -s;make clean;make;make install;" , and i do not have a /etc/init.d/noip2 , and when i check the makefile for noip2, i find no references to a /etc/init.d/noip2. also the noip2 in the ubuntu repos has a __KNOWN__ buffer overflow vunerability.. thats fixed in the newest version for no-ip.com
[13:39] <jrib> Hans_Henrik: if this is true, you should file a bug against noip2
[13:40] <jrib> Hans_Henrik: though http://www.no-ip.com/downloads.php?page=linux says the file was last modified in 2008?
[13:41] <gbjk> jrib: Works perfectly, thanks!
[13:41] <jrib> gbjk: no problem
[13:42] <Hans_Henrik> jrib: somone already did... almost 2 years ago (2009), and in the ubuntu bugtracker, it still says "confirmed, importance: undecided"

[13:46] <sirlark> Hi, 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. If I restart apache the page just segfaults the php process. The offending code is the include of Mail.php, but the weirdness is the inconsistent results between first start of apache, and subsequent
[13:46] <jrib> Hans_Henrik: reading the changelog it seems like it was fixed a long time ago

[13:50] <thrillERboy> gnome-panel: no process found
[13:50] <anebi> Zeu5: check which process is using apt-get and stop it. then you will need probably to clear the cache /var/cache/apt
[13:50] <protonbart> Why would Ubuntu not understand partial transparency in a PNG?
[13:50] <thrillERboy> when i only type gnome-panel - The program gnome-panel is currently not installed
[13:50] <Zeu5> anebi: how do i check which process using apt-get i cannot see it from system monitor
[13:50] <thrillERboy> :/
[13:51] <Guru> yo thrillERboy o/
[13:51] <DannyButterman> Hi there
[13:51] <thrillERboy> hey Guru
[13:51] <anebi> Zeu5: check with : ps aux | grep apt
[13:51] <jrib> protonbart: what version of ubuntu?
[13:51] <thrillERboy> is this the same Guru  I know??
[13:52] <qubozik> thrillERboy: Wow. Type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:52] <Cale> Hey, I'm having a problem with update-manager being unable to upgrade my system. I get the message 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'
[13:52] <jrib> Cale: from what version to what version?
[13:52] <Cale> from 10.04 to 10.10
[13:52] <Zeu5> i get this anebi http://pastebin.com/7jg6aYXJ what does this mean?
[13:52] <DannyButterman> does some one has troubles like me with the screensaver ? On three machines I have the same issue : keyboard and mouse don't make the screensaver go
[13:52] <jrib> Cale: remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau if it's installed and try again
[13:52] <qubozik> thrillERboy: then accept all packages and things to possibly get your ubuntu installation back to normal
[13:53] <thrillERboy> Haha, that must be it... I did sudo apt-get remove evolution*
[13:53] <Cale> Okay, it is installed, trying that.
[13:53] <thrillERboy> I did it to get rid of the ugly mail icon in the panel
[13:53] <qubozik> thrillERboy: haha.. yeah you might have removed some important gnome packages
[13:54] <Cale> Okay, seems to be proceeding now, thanks!
[13:54] <qubozik> thrillERboy: the command above should get your install back, but when you remove evolution again, just keep an eye on the packages it will remove along with it
[13:54] <anebi> Zeu5: try this: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo dpkg --configure -a
[13:54] <Zeu5> i did
[13:54] <Zeu5> not working
[13:54] <qubozik> thrillERboy: haha that won't remove that. you can just right click on it and tell it to remove it from panel. that mail icon is independent of the evolution
[13:54] <thrillERboy> thanks qubozik me got back the panels
[13:54] <thrillERboy> thanks :)
[13:55] <anebi> Zeu5: can you give result from: ps aux | grep dpkg
[13:55] <qubozik> thrillERboy: It trys to tie into multiple messeging programs like email and IM (pidgin, empathy) to show you when you have new messeges
[13:55] <Zeu5> http://pastebin.com/JM0Uuzy4
[13:55] <qubozik> thrillERboy: Yay! no problem. gald it worked out for you :)
[13:55] <thrillERboy> qubozik: doing that removes the volume icon too :(
[13:55] <Zeu5> i mean anebi  http://pastebin.com/JM0Uuzy4
[13:55] <Pici> !who
[13:56] <qubozik> thrillERboy: That is because they are all tied into one applet called the indicator applet
[13:56] <anebi> Zeu5:: hmm, all looks ok. check if this file exist: /var/cache/apt/lock another solution is just restart and lock file should go away
[13:56] <A[D]minS> Dears , I'm facing weird problem , I've installed Google talk plugin for browser to use the video call , and i can see it recognized my webcam . But i can't see the Call icon which called"Google phone"
[13:56] <A[D]minS> anyone can advise with this case?
[13:56] <qubozik> thrillERboy: When you remove it everything goes alogn with ti. Now just right click on the panel and click "add to panel;.." and separately add your volume controls
[13:57] <Powerboat> hi all
[13:57] <Zeu5> anebi: no such file
[13:57] <anebi> Zeu5: do a restart
[13:57] <Zeu5> anebi: i go restart. will come back again to let you know results
[13:57] <ohzie> A[D]minS: My guess is that it doesn't have permission to use your camera all the time
[13:57] <ohzie> A[D]minS: It's just a guess, though
[13:57] <Zeu5> anebi: thanks so far
[13:57] <protonbart> jrib: 10.10
[13:57] <anebi> Zeu5: ok
[13:57] <thrillERboy> theres no volume controls in add to panel :/

[13:58] <aaron11> Hey
[13:58] <ohzie> A[D]minS: google 'flash settings' to see how to get into the settings and change the permissions, maybe? :( I'm just fishing though.
[13:58] <qubozik> thrillERboy: Hmmm.... yeah I thought there were. Sorry. They must have taken them out completely for the indicator applet. I would add back the indicator applet then search google on hwo to replace it with the old system
[13:58] <A[D]minS> ohzie webcam work, But i'm talking about Google phone , i can't call friends from Firefox.. in windows i can do using IE
[13:58] <ohzie> A[D]minS: Ahh
[13:58] <DannyButterman> Can someone help me troubleshoot my unresponding screensaver problem ?
[13:59] <ohzie> A[D]minS: Dunno, then. :(
[13:59] <qubozik> thrillERboy: Or just keep it and install the faenza icon set. or any other icon set
[13:59] <A[D]minS> ohzie thx for your try :)
[13:59] <qubozik> thrillERboy: It looks good on my system with faenza
[13:59] <ohzie> DannyButterman: I have a lot of luck using xlockmore instead of the built in gnome screensaver.
[13:59] <Zeu5> anebi: Hi
[13:59] <anebi> Zeu5:  welcome back :)
[13:59] <Zeu5> anebi: problem persists. :(
[14:00] <ohzie> DannyButterman: It's not a 'fix'but I like it.
[14:00] <thrillERboy> No prob qubozik gnome-desktop is going away in 11.04 no?? so I wont sweat much ;)
[14:00] <Zeu5> anebi: thanks . i am really upset at my own clumsiness

[14:00] <valter> who can help me+
[14:00] <bazhang> valter, ask
[14:01] <thrillERboy> ohzie: 11.04 will have unity as default interface

[14:03] <valter> I put ubuntu in a machine with two discs but in one I have windows7 (wife reason), but when I installed the ubuntu it overwriten the mbr and now I can start the windows 7- ( both are in seperated hdd), any thoughts how I can windows7 back without reinstalling it
[14:03] <andai> How do i change GRUB so Windows  boots automatically? (Windows is last in line of options, and the options before it change in number (kernel updates) so i'm not sure setting it as default would work??)
[14:03] <jrib> andai: I just make windows first and then set default to 0
[14:04] <andai> jrib: How do i edit the menu/reorder items?
[14:04] <andai> jrib: it's a bunch of shell scripts in /etc/grub.d/ right?
[14:05] <jrib> !grub2 | andai
[14:05] <valter> noI don have Mbr now. Ubuntu starts automatically
[14:05] <jrib> andai: yeah, you probably have to change the order they run (guess)
[14:06] <valter> thanks andai I will give it a try

[14:10] <JetBoyJetGirl> is there any advantage to using either GUI or CLI text editors? (one or the other)
[14:10] <Zoffix_> Hi. When I right click on a directory in Ubuntu 10.10 and setup "Sharing Options" for it, how do I go about configuring the "users"? I've just tried to connect to the share on a Windows box, and none of the credentials work...
[14:10] <jrib> JetBoyJetGirl: use what you like
[14:10] <joe_9> thanks guys. my google-foo was simply returning how to make a keyboard shortcut.
[14:10] <veovis_muaddib> JetBoyJetGirl: Familiarity, efficiency, etc...
[14:10] <wedo> qubozik: 9.10
[14:10] <sosaited> How do I find out if I have Qt-4 Dev installed?
[14:10] <qubozik> wedo: Is your system a laptop?
[14:10] <wedo> yes
[14:10] <Jimi_Neutral> >	Hi Guys, was not sure where to go with this but as my Synology DS110J is built on Linux I thought I would start here. I have a .spk file and I dont know how to open it. I got it from the synology forums for a build of a program called uMurmur. I need to install it on my Synology DS110J but do not know where to start. Any help would be great.
[14:10] <wedo> qubozik: yes
[14:11] <veovis_muaddib> JetBoyJetGirl: If you're good with vim or emacs chances are you will get things done on them a lot faster than with a GUI, but if you don't want to spend the effort to learn them then it's better to stick with a GUI
[14:11] <qubozik> wedo: Did you search google to see if there are any documented issues with your laptop and version 10.04?
[14:11] <Zoffix_> Never mind; I believe this answers my question: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/11/create-share-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-map-windows-7-vista/
[14:11] <ikonia> Jimi_Neutral: sorry, we don't support that here
[14:11] <wedo> qubozik: not yet
[14:11] <bunower> hello
[14:12] <Jimi_Neutral> any idea where i can go
[14:12] <Pici> Jimi_Neutral: ##linux would be a good start.
[14:12] <qubozik> wedo: OK for now... you can probably reboot and during boot up the first thing you will see is the boot loader grub. If you go into that you can select your old kernel to boot from and your hardware might work
[14:12] <JetBoyJetGirl> Thanks veovis
[14:12] <Jimi_Neutral> ok ty
[14:12] <qubozik> wedo: Not sure if previous version kernel are saved or not udring an upgrade. I think they are but I have never done an upgrade. i always fresh install
[14:13] <veovis_muaddib> JetBoyJetGirl: No problem.
[14:13] <Zoffix_> Actually, no it doesn't. I have `samba' package installed, but it does not appear in the "System->Administration". I've tried running `samba` on the command line, but it just printed "samba version 4.0.0alpha12-GIT-UNKNOWN started" and there's no GUI.... How do I get the GUI to configure my users and shares? 0_o
[14:13] <qubozik> wedo: That is worth a shot
[14:13] <paGos> hi all
[14:13] <paGos> I really need to disable shift+delete combination
[14:13] <qubozik> wedo: Try it and see if your hardware comes back
[14:13] <paGos> how can i do it?
[14:14] <bunower> i dont want to disturb but i need some help with bluetooth configuration
[14:14] <sosaited> What is the package name for Xapian-core?
[14:14] <wedo> qubozik: I tried that and its the same
[14:14] <gschwepp> Hello, does anyone know how to pipe a whole usb keyboardoutput to a file or /dev/null ? I made a movement sensor out of an keyboard and now its pressing space all the time. its anoying!
[14:15] <paGos> sosaited, I guess libxapian15
[14:15] <Pici> sosaited: xapian-core is a source package name that provides the following binary packages: libxapian15, libxapian15-dbg, libxapian-dev, xapian-tools, xapian-doc, xapian-examples
[14:15] <manoelagrace> necessary of aid to bring up to date ubuntu 5.10
[14:15] <ikonia> manoelagrace: 5.10 is dead, you won't be able to update it
[14:15] <veovis_muaddib> manoelagrace: I'm not sure that's a good idea....
[14:16] <sosaited> Pici, paGos Then I guess for building Recoll, libxapian-dev will be enough?
[14:16] <qubozik> wedo: Ahh.... ok. That's no good
[14:16] <Pici> sosaited: Likely.
[14:16] <veovis_muaddib> manoelagrace: I would HIGHLY recommend that you backup and install a newer version instead of updating
[14:16] <Pici> manoelagrace: You could upgrade to 6.06, and then from there to 8.04 and then to 10.04, but you're probably much better off installing from scratch.
[14:16] <paGos> sosaited, hmm not sure about that
[14:16] <paGos> sosaited, probably yes, give it a try
[14:16] <ikonia> Pici: he wo'nt be able to, the glibc restriction will stop it
[14:16] <DeRoSvOs> Let's say my "/etc/sudoers" is broken and I can't remember my root password.  How can I reset it?  I have physical access to the box.
[14:17] <Pici> ikonia: 5.10 to 6.06 should work I thought.
[14:17] <ikonia> DeRoSvOs: /etc/sudoers isn't needed
[14:17] <ikonia> Pici: didn't think it did due to the libc jump
[14:17] <qubozik> wedo: I woudl search google for knwon issue swith your laptop and 10.04. After that you may want to try to just go to 10.10 and see if it works.
[14:17] <veovis_muaddib> Pici: ikonia he's not here anymore anyway
[14:17] <sosaited> Pici, paGos, Any idea about libiconv?  Synaptic doesn't show anything useful.
[14:17] <paGos> DeRoSvOs, boot it up with a CD in rescue mode correct things

[14:18] <bunower> anyone there?
[14:18] <paGos> bunower, don't wait for anyone to take care of you
[14:18] <paGos> bunower, fire your question
[14:18] <qubozik> wedo: No problem. Sorry I couldn't *fix* it for you. but after searching goole you may find a tutorial on how to get your hardware back because someone already wen through what you have with the same laptop. It is worth a shot
[14:19] <Odaym> i am downloading the bitnami wordpress stack
[14:19] <bunower> ok :)
[14:19] <ikonia> Pici: this will sound terribly pig headed, but I'm not sure I trust it as at the time I remember the upgrade problems, but I could be wrong
[14:19] <Odaym> i just chmod it and run it?
[14:19] <Odaym> and it will install itself here?
[14:19] <offsense> paGos: is it better than tweetdeck desktop version using adobe air?
[14:19] <sosaited> paGos, Not really. That would be most helpful. Thanks :). Found qt4 dev files as well, kinda
[14:19] <Pici> ikonia: Thats fine :)
[14:19] <paGos> offsense, much much better & faster and does not fail when you use the mouse wheel ;)

[14:20] <Zoffix_> Man... each time my excitement of installing a new version of Ubuntu is destroyed by configuration issues that pop up :(
[14:20] <bunower> i have a mcbook 7.1 and i installed ubuntu 10.10 on it.
[14:20] <bunower> the problem is
[14:20] <bunower> bluetooth is not activated
[14:20] <Jems> please help me, if i open opera or pidgin application, it always uninterruptilble, what can i do to fix this problem?
[14:20] <bunower> i cant activate it
[14:20] <Pici> !enter | bunower
[14:21] <paGos> bunower, probably your bluetooth device is not recognized by the kernel
[14:21] <Krycek> .
[14:21] <Krycek> .
[14:21] <Krycek> .
[14:21] <FloodBot3> Krycek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:21]  * Zoffix_ chuckles
[14:21] <paGos> bunower, have you checked with syslog about what's going on?
[14:21] <Krycek> .
[14:21] <paGos> bunower, have you tried a bluetooth stick?
[14:22] <bunower> yeah mybe but if i type in terminal, lsusb | grep Bluetooth  it says: Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth)
[14:22] <bunower> no just the internal bluetooth
[14:22] <sosaited> Pici, Yeah but that version is 1.13. 1.15 has some GUI improvements that I need.
[14:22] <paGos> bunower, f! I hate broadcom, have you checked their site about any drivers available?
[14:23] <bunower> nothing found until yet
[14:23] <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] <Pici> sosaited: 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] <paGos> bunower, sorry, this is as good as it gets from me :|
[14:23] <paGos> I need to disable shift + delete, I cannot control myself!
[14:24] <bunower> if i type hciconfig --all nothing appears
[14:24] <sosaited> Pici, build-dep? I will do that if all else fails. Right now just trying to install a few qt4 packages wanted to get 181MB additional stuff. Trying to see if I can get away with less than that :)
[14:25] <undecim> Is there a CLI equivalent to the disk usage analyzer?
[14:25] <LjL> undecim: du | sort -n
[14:25] <LjL> sorta
[14:26] <Pici> undecim: I usually use a combination of df -h and du -h --max-depth=1
[14:27] <ohzie> !unity
[14:27] <undecim> Pici: That's what I was thinking... I guess I'll pair it with find and xargs....
[14:28] <zlatan> hi to all...there is no skype and opera in my repos..how do I add them to source list...
[14:28] <undecim> LjL: lol, almost missed your message... that should work
[14:29] <sylvester> = =
[14:30] <sylvester> what's it?
[14:30] <Odaym> what is the 755 permission?
[14:31] <Kioshi^_^> hellow
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> zlatan: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/other-downloads/
[14:31] <compdoc> pretty permissive
[14:31] <Odaym> i didn't ask for your opinion of it
[14:31] <Odaym> hehe
[14:31] <Odaym> i asked for the permissions that it implements
[14:32] <sipior> Odaym: "man chmod"
[14:32] <paGos> Odaym, user can read write and execute, others can only read and execute
[14:33] <zlatan> MonkeyDust, isn't there any repo for this or I was dreaming that there was once
[14:35] <iluminator101> i am getting this error please help http://debian.pastebin.com/yRQeyzC9 thanks in advance
[14:35] <wedo> what is the command to list running process
[14:35] <Pici> wedo: ps
[14:35] <wedo> thx Pici
[14:35] <Odaym> how does ps differ from ps aux?
[14:35] <popey> man ps :)
[14:35] <Odaym> the auxiliary processes?
[14:36] <Odaym> true
[14:36] <Odaym> i will
[14:36] <Pici> Odaym: aux are each separate arguments. It just happens to spell out Aux.
[14:36] <DeRoSvOs> Ok, so, how would I boot to single user mode?  I can't seem to do that, no matter what I try.
[14:36] <ohzie> just alias ps to ps aux because there's no reason to not type ps aux evry time
[14:36] <ohzie> every*
[14:37] <Sideways> HI I have a p8p67 MB, intel 82579V Gigabit that worked at install and now wont link. I can see it, but no ip. using e1000e driver
[14:37] <andai> Hi. I copied a 5GB partition into a 15GB partition with dd. Some apps say the capacity is 5GB, some 15GB, but they all agree on my remaining free space (1GB instead of 11GB). Help?
[14:37] <jorn> heyho, is it possible that texdoc doesn't find latex-beamer docs in ubuntu 10.10?
[14:37] <ohzie> DeRoSvOs: in yum put a 1 at the end of the bootline
[14:37] <ohzie> DeRoSvOs: that's how you used to do it
[14:37] <ohzie> DeRoSvOs: the '1' argument was for the runlevel
[14:37] <Sideways> wondering if thats the culprit, hear of intel nic,s not behaving well w/linux
[14:37] <jorn> i'm searching the beameruserguide, but seems as if its path isn't searched
[14:38] <DeRoSvOs> ohzie: You mean in grub?  Not yum, right?
[14:38] <linsir> hello
[14:38] <Pici> ohzie, DeRoSvOs: Er, Ubuntu doesn't use yum.
[14:38] <jorn> wondering if the package is broken since migration from texmf to texlive
[14:38] <ohzie> DeRoSvOs Pici Yes, Grub
[14:39] <Sideways> anyone have a p8p67?
[14:39] <ohzie> The thought formed as "the one that's not lilo" and I grab-bagged the wrong name. =)
[14:39] <DeRoSvOs> So again, what's the best way to get in to rescue, so I can reset my root pass?
[14:39] <ohzie> DeRoSvOs: you should have sudo
[14:39] <Smjork_> hello and many, many excuses for bothering with a rather noobish question. I ahve a PC , with wireless NIC. I just set up sshd to auto-run on runlevels 2,3,4,5 but the damn thing doesn't work. I can only ssh to that machine AFTER i physically log into it. any suggestions ?
[14:39] <ohzie> DeRoSvOs: type sudo su -l
[14:39] <ohzie> DeRoSvOs: and then run passwd
[14:40] <wildbat> andai ~ when you use dd ~ you clone the partition ~ so the partition is 5GB now ~ whild MBR say it is 15GB ~ use gparted and check the partition to fix it
[14:40] <Zeu5> anebi: hi
[14:40] <ohzie> Smjork_: SSH is running, it's the network connection you need to focus on
[14:40] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: did you actually ever set a root password?  Ubuntu locks the root account by default.
[14:40] <iluminator101> i am getting this error please help http://debian.pastebin.com/yRQeyzC9 thanks in advance
[14:40] <ohzie> Smjork_: because a wireless connection isn't initiated until you log in
[14:40] <anebi> Zeu5: hi
[14:41] <blackshirt> hi
[14:41] <tomreyn> iluminator101: try this: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys
[14:42] <DeRoSvOs> Ok, here's the problem.  Someone messed around in /etc/sudoers and now when I try and sudo I get:  sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 28  sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
[14:42] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: did you actually ever set a root password?  Ubuntu locks the root account by default.
[14:42] <DeRoSvOs> So now, I'm in a pickle.
[14:42] <Smjork_> ahh...crap
[14:42] <DeRoSvOs> I can't sudo su -.
[14:42] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: that's not my question
[14:43] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: you were talking about root earlier, so I'm trying to figure out if you actually ever set a password
[14:43] <tomreyn> iluminator101: then re-run the command that failed: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 83FBA1751378B444
[14:43] <blackshirt> visudo
[14:43] <DeRoSvOs> jrib:  Well, I'm not sure.  I didn't provision the server, unfortunately, and the person who did is unreachable right now.
[14:43] <iluminator101> tomreyn, i did that still no go
[14:43] <Smjork_> any way to startup the wlan without the need for a user to log into ?
[14:43] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: reboot, choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu, fix /etc/sudoers (use visudo always to edit sudoers)
[14:44] <DeRoSvOs> jrib:  Even in recovery, I need a root pass.
[14:44] <tomreyn> iluminator101: did you re-run the failing command, too?
[14:44] <raisin123> hello someone please help me. I want to install "tremulous" on my comp but when I go to software centre and click install, it tells me,"requires insatallation of untrusted packages" I click "ok" and then the isntallation aborts. Help !
[14:44] <SupeR_NovA> ppa for sun java 6 lastet ?
[14:44] <iluminator101> tomreyn, i did that too
[14:44] <DeRoSvOs> jrib:  Give root password for maintenance or type Control-D to continue.
[14:44] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: that's only if you set one.  In that case, edit the grub line to have "init=/bin/bash"
[14:44] <DeRoSvOs> jrib:  On CentOS, I can do a single user mode hack and it drops me to a CLI.
[14:45] <aadem> does anyone know off the top of their head a link to a skeleton sudoers file, freeBSD (my second OS aside of Ubuntu) does not use sudo by default but when i type it it returns "cannot find any sudoers file.  My thoughts are i can create a sudoers file from a skeleton example
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> raisin123: try sudo apt-get install tremulous
[14:45] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: or use a live cd
[14:45] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[14:45] <Sideways>  Does anyone know about p8p67 MB, intel 82579V nic not working?
[14:46] <tomreyn> iluminator101: run this and report its output here (unless it is more than a single line, in which case paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ): ls -l /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
[14:46] <jrib> aadem: grab it from ubuntu?  This is a better question for the freebsd channel
[14:47] <raisin123> MonkeyDust: didn't work . It said "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"
[14:47] <aadem> sorry i figured sudo was standard on ubuntu so ask the source :) ill take my question to freebsd which i will have to find hehe.  Thanks for the help
[14:48] <DeRoSvOs> jrib:  So if I boot and hit the GRUB menu, I see my diff kernels there... from this point, how do I get a shell?  You mentioned using "init=/bin/bash" but where would I put it?
[14:48] <gschwepp> Hello, does anyone know how to pipe a whole usb keyboardoutput to a file or /dev/null ? I made a movement sensor out of an keyboard and now its pressing space all the time. its anoying!
[14:48] <jrib> aadem: ubuntu has /usr/share/doc/sudo/examples/sudoers which comes straight from sudoers source, so figure out where that is on freebsd
[14:48] <raisin123> hello someone please help me. I want to install "tremulous" on my comp but when I go to software centre and click install, it tells me,"requires insatallation of untrusted packages" I click "ok" and then the isntallation aborts. Help !
[14:48] <medfly> I seem to have trouble connecting to my wireless network. I am sitting right next to the router, and I can see it. it uses WPA2 with TKIP+AES. is this a problem?
[14:48] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: edit the grub line (press 'e').  Or just use a live cd
[14:48] <aadem> perfect thank you!
[14:49] <hypatia> is there any way to make the Unity launcher in ubuntu netbook any smaller?
[14:49] <hypatia> it's too wide :(
[14:49] <hypatia> also is there a replacement for alt-f2?
[14:49] <hypatia> to launch programs
[14:49] <varun> Helooooo every one
[14:49] <blackshirt> hello
[14:49] <jrib> aadem: although all it seems to do is give root the ability to sudo and the rest is all commented :)
[14:49] <peterius> hi, can anyone here read korean?
[14:50] <hypatia> peterius: try #ubuntu-kr
[14:50] <varun> What would I do if I see a process as sl in the process details in ps ax in the terminal.I mean how to wake it up coz I dont want to kill it
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> !kr| peterius
[14:51] <Pici> !ko | peterius

[14:55] <piblos> im running an ubuntu based distro and need to dload an img burner so i can burn the ubuntu iso
[14:55] <Odaym> there's K3B, piblos
[14:55] <Guest14866> hi everybody
[14:56] <Guest14866> what is the best IDE java on unbuntu
[14:56] <Guest14866> ???
[14:56] <Odaym> if it's ubuntu based, then you should be able to use apt-get
[14:56] <Odaym> so try "sudo apt-get install k3b"
[14:56] <Odaym> if i am correct..i hope\
[14:56] <varun> anyone to my question?
[14:57] <varun>  What would I do if I see a process as sl in the process details in ps ax in the terminal.I mean how to wake it up coz I dont want to kill it
[14:57] <Odaym> try "fg processname"
[14:58] <Odaym> it will bring this process to the foreground if it is sleeping/stopped in the background
[14:58] <Pici> !who
[14:58] <Odaym> ok Pici
[14:58] <Odaym> Pici but is it accurate about any ubuntu based distro must have apt-get?
[14:59] <Pici> Odaym: That would be an accurate assumption.
[14:59] <Odaym> ok
[14:59] <KGBWolf> i have created a .sh file that i have set to run on startup but on startup it opens up kate instead of running as sh... problem 2 my server does not turn off even after beign sent the shutdown command it will go all the way back to post and start again...
[14:59] <hypatia> answered my own question about alt-f2 in ubuntu netbook: it doesn't work, install gnome-do, alawalk, gmrun, gRun, or guake to replace the functionality.
[15:00] <pibloes2> i need to burn the ubuntu iso.. but im on a ubuntu based distro now with no iso burner.. anyone know of a quick way to get and install one? ive heard about KB3 but dont know the command to download it..
[15:01] <qubozik> pibloes2: Right click on the file and select write to disk. That is a feature of newer versions of gnome
[15:01] <Odaym> pibloes2, it's K3B, and you can search for it with "apt-cache search k3b", then if found "sudo apt-get install k3b"
[15:01] <edge> Does anybody have the url for the documentation about adding things to the start up?
[15:01] <pibloes2> im running backtrack 4 atm
[15:01] <qubozik> pibloes2: If that doesn't work you can download basaro
[15:01] <Odaym> it exists, pibloes2 i searched for it
[15:01] <pibloes2> ahh thanks odaym will try that
[15:01] <qubozik> pibloes2: brasaro *
[15:02] <Odaym> Brasero has caused me and numerous other users kill errors through all the burning processes, since the latest updates
[15:02] <Odaym> i looked it up and everyone was experiencing it since the last updates
[15:02] <qubozik> Odaym: Good to know
[15:02] <pibloes2> The following packages have unmet dependencies:   k3b: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.1.4-2)
[15:02] <llutz> !backtrack | pibloes2
[15:03] <Pietras1988> hi all
[15:03] <varun> Odyam:fg eclipse says no such process but the ps shows that it is sl
[15:03] <ronr_> hi everyone. is there a simple way (with an application or otherwise) to load .img files in ubuntu? can it be done on network drives as well?
[15:03] <Odaym> im sorry, it's process number, varun, not process name
[15:03] <pibloes2> damn i guess im pretty screwed then
[15:03] <Odaym> see the number and fg it varun
[15:03] <Odaym> hmm, i think you can try aptitude there pibloes2 because i heard that it takes care of dependencies better than apt-get
[15:04] <llutz> pibloes2: sudo growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/path/to/foo.iso
[15:04] <Odaym> but i have no idea about aptitude pibloes2, all i know is its better with dependencies, llutz  knows more
[15:04] <llutz> pibloes2:or: wodim -dao /path/to/foo.iso
[15:05] <varun> Odaym:So for this ---1704 ?        Sl     0:11 /media/Yojimbo/eclipse 2010/eclipse.- I try fg 1704 and it says  no such job
[15:05] <Odaym> then ps again, varun, maybe it was assigned a different number since you last saw
[15:05] <ethanol> How can I assign applications a default workspace? I googled and found devilspie. But it seems from 2007. Did Ubuntu build this is by now, or should I install a tool from 2007?
[15:05] <Frenk> Hey, I have one server with Ubuntu and I see everything with colors in the console - another server shows b/w - whats the package to make the console colorful?
[15:05] <Odaym> llutz is it true that you can take a process out of Sleep "sl" by using "fg" foreground?
[15:05] <varun> Odaym:Nope the ps is the same for all the times
[15:06] <llutz> Odaym: afaik no
[15:06] <Odaym> afaik?
[15:07] <llutz> As Far As I Know
[15:07] <Odaym> what can, llutz ?
[15:07] <varun> llutz:Do I have to kill it and restart?Is there no other way?
[15:07] <Odaym> isnt there some sort of bump or wake...
[15:08] <pasquale25761> !list
[15:08] <llutz> varun: i don't know
[15:08] <sipior> varun: try sending it a signal: "kill -HUP 1704"
[15:08] <Odaym> wait varun, one second
[15:08] <Zoffix_> Hello. Once again, I'm stuck with a problem..  I'm running this: sudo mount //b-webtest-dt/transfer /home/pevstrat/Desktop/ZTransfer/ -t cifs -o user=user,pass=pass  It works, but the share is owned by the root and not the user I'm using. Due to that, I can't copy any files over into the share. How I go around this? It used to work fine in Gutsy >:|
[15:08] <Odaym> the forum says fg also, varun
[15:09] <Odaym> if you want to use process name, varun, prefix it with '%'
[15:09] <Odaym> varun, forum says, if the process is sleeping, check whether there is any wait command in the script, check why it is waiting if there is any wait... don't think the process will go into sleep without any wait
[15:09] <varun> Odaym:I have tried the process id
[15:10] <Odaym> try "wait <process id of sleeping process>"
[15:10] <drkhan> hi
[15:10] <varun> Odaym:The new eclipse I have "Helios" has recently started crashing I dont know why but this is what it does.I goes to sleep sometimes when I start is up
[15:10] <KGBWolf> my .sh is categorized as a plain text document how can i change this?
[15:11] <Zoffix_> KGBWolf, chmod +x yourfile.sh
[15:11] <llutz> KGBWolf: a shellscript is a plain text document
[15:11] <Zoffix_> (unless I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about)
[15:12] <DeRoSvOs> jrib:  Where would I place "init=/bin/bash" in the GRUB menu?  I mean, sequentially speaking?
[15:12] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: at the end of the kernel line
[15:12] <pasquale25761> xdcc send #25
[15:13] <pibloes2> thank you all for the help
[15:13] <DeRoSvOs> jrib:  Where it says linux /boot/vmlinuz....generic-pae root=UUID... ro quiet?
[15:13] <jrib> DeRoSvOs: yes
[15:13] <schnuffle> y
[15:13] <pibloes2> llutz..
[15:13] <pibloes2> Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968.
[15:13] <pibloes2> o properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment variables are set.
[15:14] <Zoffix_> I soved my problem. Had to add uid=1000,gid=1000 to the mount: sudo mount //b-webtest-dt/transfer /home/pevstrat/Desktop/ZTransfer/ -t cifs -o user=user,pass=pass,uid=1000,gid=1000
[15:15] <Jason_> ive got a wirless problem my wireless card stops working everytime i reboot i rhave to keep reinstalling the driver to get it to work
[15:16] <mh22mk> Hey i have a problem, im working on a server with wmware and i have a statich ip on it but when i choose nat i would like to get the real ip so i can connect to the internet, i have tried restart the netwrok and dhcp serve r but with no luck
[15:18] <Jason_> ive got a wirless problem my wireless card stops working everytime i reboot i rhave to keep reinstalling the driver to get it to work
[15:18] <ohzie> I really hate having to ask any questions in #centos because everything is so different that it makes me feel just stupid.
[15:18] <ohzie> I hate it.
[15:18] <ohzie> I hate it so much.
[15:18] <mh22mk> Hey i have a problem, im working on a server with wmware and i have a statich ip on it but when i choose nat i would like to get the real ip so i can connect to the internet, i have tried restart the netwrok and dhcp serve r but with no luck, any ideas plz?
[15:19] <ikonia> mh22mk: where are you chosing "nat"
[15:19] <ohzie> mh22mk: If you're using the NAT option for the VM, you won't get the server's IP address
[15:20] <ohzie> mh22mk: You probably need whatever option is pass-through. I don't recall what that is in vmware.
[15:20] <Frenk> Hey, I  am looking for a application to controle pulse audio
[15:20] <Jason_> any ideas with my problem ?
[15:20] <mh22mk> ohzie: first i had it on custom choice an Wmnet02 but now i wan it on nat so i can install some packages
[15:20] <sre-su> Which package contains gtk+-2.0 ?
[15:20] <DeRoSvOs> jrib:  Cool, it got me a prompt, but it's a read read-only FS... any ideas?  I mean, I took the regular kernel line and added that at the end...
[15:21] <ikonia> sre-su: it's already installed by default, gnome needs it
[15:21] <sre-su> ikonia: Yes, still what's the package name for it?
[15:21] <Cale> Jason_: maybe you could add an appropriate line/file to /etc/modprobe.d to get it to install the module?
[15:21] <g_0_0> Jason_, which driver?
[15:21] <ikonia> sre-su: gtck+2.0
[15:21] <Jason_> its broadcom
[15:21] <ikonia> sre-su: look it up in the package manager
[15:21] <chitam> ?
[15:21] <coz_> Frenk,  there is something named   adevchooser   it would be listed as Pulseaudio device chooser   there is also the puslesudo equalizer
[15:22] <g_0_0> jason, do you know which driver specifically?
[15:22] <BluesKaj> mh22mk, open /etc/resolv.conf , the IP beside nameserver is the router / modem that connects to the internet, plave that IP in your /etc/network/interfaces file as the gateway IP
[15:22] <ft_mn> Hello, flvs i hear from utube etc dont go to the /tmp folder anymore other temp files do go though (like pdfs or fotos) .... does anybody know what has happened??!?!?!?
[15:22] <xxiao> using CLI, how can I tell if I need reboot the machine after an update?
[15:22] <Jason_> bcm43 somthing
[15:22] <ikonia> xxiao: only a kernel should need a reboot at a high level
[15:22] <coz_> ft_mn,  I am not sure I understand
[15:22] <g_0_0> jason is it working at the moment?
[15:23] <KGBWolf> when sending a shutdown signal my server goes to post and comes back online
[15:23] <Jason_> well i installed it inside of windows
[15:23] <xxiao> ikonia: not really, sometimes an update with no kernel still asks for reboot when i use X
[15:23] <KGBWolf> is this an OS issue or server?
[15:23] <g_0_0> Jason_, can you pastebin the results of lsmod
[15:23] <ft_mn> coz_ u knew that any videos you watch through a site is temporarely stored on the /tmp folder didnt u?
[15:23] <ikonia> xxiao: shouldn't be the case, if it's an X update you just need to restart X
[15:23] <Jason_> ok ill go on linux now
[15:23] <coz_> KGBWolf,  not sure ,, have you tried in #ubuntu-server
[15:23] <Jason_> and do it then ill pm u it
[15:23] <ohzie> KGBWolf: what shutdown signal are you sending? HALT or RESTART ?
[15:24] <g_0_0> Jason_, ok

[15:25] <Idris> HI is this the right channel for Ubuntu
[15:25] <c0ld> well I want to create a 3d model of something Im creating
[15:25] <coz_> Idris,  yep
[15:25] <stefano_> grazie a te :-)
[15:25] <BluesKaj> why are you choosing nat , it should be automatic. mh22mk
[15:26] <KGBWolf> ohzie shutdown/HALT
[15:26] <stefano_> ma cos'è questa chat? poi me ne vado :-)
[15:26] <Idris> I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I want to upgrade it to 10.10
[15:26] <ohzie> KGBWolf: Weird.
[15:26] <sre-su> ikonia: I didn't get what all libraries are required ...
[15:26] <BluesKaj> !es | stefano_
[15:26] <Idris> Is it wise to upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10?
[15:27] <mh22mk> BluesKaj: cause im working on dhcp servers and stuff so i have made my own groupe wmNet02
[15:27] <xxiao> checked a list of packages i just updated: vlc, libssl, login, passwd, libc-bin, and my Desktop asked for a reboot
[15:27] <compdoc> depends on if the newer version does somethign the old one doesnt
[15:27] <iceroot_> Idris: why you need to upgrade?
[15:27] <coz_> Idris,  many upgrade,,, I personally prefer clean installs
[15:27] <xxiao> no 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 reason
[15:27] <ikonia> xxiao: who says you need to reboot ?
[15:27] <xxiao> more importantly, how can I get this notice if I do it over CLI
[15:27] <coz_> c0ld,  oh!   are you running compiz  at the same time?
[15:27] <gnewb> How 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] <xxiao> ikonia: the GUI update program
[15:27] <iceroot_> ikonia: openssl update needs a reboot
[15:28] <ikonia> iceroot_: does it, ? I've updates SSL many times without an update
[15:28] <iceroot_> ikonia: sorry, libc i mean
[15:28] <ikonia> without a reboot
[15:28] <xxiao> also the button turns to red, reminds you a reboot is required on the top right
[15:28] <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] <ikonia> ahh yes, libc good call
[15:28] <Frenk> I put tail -F /blal/bla - how do I end it?
[15:28] <c0ld> yes coz_
[15:28] <Pumpkin-> Frenk: ctrl-c
[15:28] <xxiao> iceroot_: the problem is that, how can I know that if I'm using a CLI to manage my servers
[15:28] <ikonia> Frenk: ctrl+c
[15:28] <coz_> c0ld,  try turning off compiz and see if you are getting the same "lag"  with the menus
[15:28] <iceroot_> xxiao: what?
[15:29] <Idris> I am eager to find out what is new in Ubuntu 10.10?
[15:29] <BluesKaj> !it | stefano_
[15:29] <xxiao> ikonia: how do you know if you need reboot after an update using only terminal?
[15:29] <ikonia> xxiao: you learn from reading what's updated
[15:29] <ikonia> xxiao: I believe some packages will give a message too
[15:29] <vega-> xxiao: the icon will turn red even when using command line
[15:29] <Jordan_U> xxiao: 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 upgrade
[15:30] <xxiao> thanks. need find that googies package
[15:30] <iceroot_> xxiao: there are 3 parts which needs a reboot. kernel, libc and dbus-update
[15:30] <vega-> Jordan_U: doesn't restarting necessary services do the same thing?
[15:30] <Idris> Is it safe to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04 using a dial up connection?
[15:30] <xxiao> i have headless servers ...
[15:30] <xxiao> iceroot_: what about openssl?
[15:30] <elricL> Is 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 of
[15:30] <vega-> xxiao: it should also tell you upon login that reboot necessary
[15:30] <iceroot_> xxiao: openssl doesnt need a reboot
[15:30] <ikonia> elricL: no ranting is welcome
[15:30] <iceroot_> xxiao: just a restart of all daemons using ssl
[15:30] <ikonia> elricL: #ubuntu+1 is a valid discussion channel
[15:30] <Jordan_U> vega-: I'm not sure about libc.
[15:30] <BluesKaj> elricL,  #ubuntu+1
[15:31] <elricL> Thank you
[15:31] <DeRoSvOs> Hey 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] <DeRoSvOs> Any idea why?
[15:31] <Idris> Coz_, 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 reboot
[15:31] <xxiao> that problem is that , i need a notifier somehow tell me that i need a reboot after updating on my remote headless servers
[15:31] <ikonia> DeRoSvOs: it's mnot a reinstall, it's setting up a recovery env
[15:31] <iceroot_> xxiao: debian-goodies
[15:31] <BlueEagle> vega-: The message that a reboot is required comes when security updates in the kernel have been automatically installed.
[15:31] <DeRoSvOs> ikonia: Thank ya.
[15:31] <BluesKaj> elricL, you'll just get the stock answer "it's still in alpa or beta" blah blah
[15:31] <sipior> iceroot_: no, when the processes restart, they will resolve and pick up the new (correct) glibc.
[15:31] <Odaym> the aliased commands in 'alias' are always stored there once you 'alias run=runprogram.sh' for example?
[15:31] <xxiao> thanks. searching that
[15:31] <iceroot_> sipior: no
[15:32] <gnewb> DeRoSvOs: Did you try holding Shift on boot?
[15:32] <iceroot_> sipior: trust me, libc-update needs a reboot
[15:32] <sipior> iceroot_: i'm afraid so.
[15:32] <vega-> BlueEagle: no, not just the kernel, also other packages
[15:32] <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 upgrade
[15:32] <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] <BlueEagle> vega-: Oh. Well I did not know that. :)
[15:32] <c0ld> @coz_ how I disable compiz
[15:32] <Odaym> i 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] <Pumpkin-> ctrl-e
[15:32] <Odaym> End works too
[15:32] <Odaym> nice
[15:33] <Odaym> ok
[15:33] <vega-> Pumpkin-: yea i know, it just feels so windowsish to reboot every second day .. :)
[15:33] <Idris> coz_, thank you for your suggestion...
[15:33] <Odaym> but 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] <elricL> BluesKaj: 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 :x
[15:33] <Odaym> if i add one now, how long will it stay there?
[15:33] <Frenk> How do i delete a certain IP from IPtables (fromm all possible chains)
[15:33] <coz_> c0ld,    compiz --replace ccp &
[15:33] <BlueEagle> vega-: Well they could have listed the services that had been updated and allowed you to just restart those.
[15:34] <coz_> c0ld,   or to restart compiz  you could log off then log on
[15:34] <sipior> iceroot_: instead of having me trust you, could you provide an argument as to why what you say is true?
[15:34] <c0ld> yah blender menus still lag
[15:34] <c0ld> Ill try sharpconstruct
[15:34] <coz_> c0ld,  mnmm then I am not sure  what the issue is..
[15:35] <iceroot_> sipior: init is using libc
[15:35] <iceroot_> sipior: have fun to restart init without reboot
[15:35] <coz_> c0ld,   sharpconstruct is more of a sculpting tool... it is inscluded in blender as well
[15:36] <c0ld> oh
[15:36] <Frenk> I have the IP adress: 88.209.105.000 how do I whitelist it?
[15:36] <c0ld> hmm
[15:36] <coz_> c0ld,   the best one that runs native to linux is blender
[15:36] <Frenk> In IPtables in all chains
[15:37] <xxiao> debian-goodies is on ubuntu too, great stuff. thanks!
[15:37] <coz_> c0ld,   there are others lke maya   that can run on linux  but they are not free
[15:37] <c0ld> yah
[15:37] <Odaym> what is debian-goodies, xxiao?
[15:37] <Odaym> what's it have?
[15:37] <c0ld> I wonder why the menus are choppy looking
[15:37] <vooze> Quick question... about SWAP.. if last says i ran out of RAM.. and i have 15GB swap... Hvor much RAM is 15GB swap equal?
[15:37] <example92> hello!
[15:37] <xxiao> google for it, i need it to tell me if i need restart services/servers
[15:37] <Odaym> alright
[15:38] <xxiao> Odaym: most of my machines do not have a screen attached to it
[15:38] <compdoc> 15GB swap is pretty huge
[15:38] <xxiao> Odaym: so i need it to tell me if i need reboot after the update
[15:38] <sipior> iceroot_: the ksplice folks manage both kernel upgrades and init restart via kexec, to my recollection.
[15:38] <Odaym> i see
[15:38] <Odaym> nice
[15:38] <iceroot_> sipior: and its not the default
[15:38] <c0ld> Wings3d
[15:38] <sipior> iceroot_: i didn't say it was. but rebooting is not necessary.
[15:38] <bayer> hi there, i installed ubuntu 10.10 2 days ago, yesterday i did some upgrades, and suddenly when i try to boot the system it complains about not finding the harddrive: http://pastebin.com/HmEHnyT0
[15:38] <iceroot_> sipior: so you have to reboot after a libc-update
[15:39] <example92> lsusb on terminal recognize my usbstick but, i cant get or put files on this.. anybady help?
[15:39] <bayer> i tried a long rootdelay, that didnt change anything
[15:39] <bayer> any idea?
[15:39] <vega-> BlueEagle: that's my point exactly yeah, instead of rebooting ..
[15:39] <kreantos> hello, can someone give me a hint how to prevent gnome from starting on startup
[15:39] <vooze> compdoc, yeah i know.. but i had ALOT of free HD space.. so i figuret wtf. :D
[15:39] <xxiao> sipior: for security updates i will reboot anyway...debian-goodies will tell you
[15:39] <vega-> BlueEagle: especially in a server environment
[15:40] <sipior> xxiao: do what you like, of course. some of us like to keep our machines running independent of security updates.
[15:40] <Jordan_U> xxiao: I belive that a message will be added to the motd, and you can check with /etc/update-motd.d/98-reboot-required .
[15:40] <xxiao> sipior: yes, do the same for internal servers, but for external website i reboot more often
[15:41] <Frenk> How do I flush the IP-Table rules remotly without losing connection?
[15:41] <terry> Frenk: -F
[15:41] <terry> Frenk: Wait, are you doing ipmasquerade?
[15:41] <pestilence> i'm trying to get a vpn connection going (pptp).  i want to use pptp-linux.  when i type "pon myvpn" the connection comes up and i get a ppp0 interface with an ip, but i cannot ping across the connection to the server.
[15:41] <terry> Frenk: -F will flush all rules.
[15:42] <kreantos> i tried  "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" but after reboot there was again the gnome mask
[15:42] <Frenk> terry: I have a server and one guy cant connetc, his IP is not in iptables and denyhost but still hes blocked. I can access the IP without any problems
[15:42] <BluesKaj> elricL, afaik X is broken on natty , especially if you accepted the removal and "upgrade" of several important xorg file
[15:42] <terry> Frenk: Flush the one rule that is blocking his IP
[15:43] <kreantos> no idea?
[15:43] <Wulfy> kreantos,  is your ip ON your system or is it a remote host?
[15:43] <kreantos> ?
[15:43] <Frenk> terry: I can not find that rule =( iptables -L and grep the ip = no result
[15:43] <Jimi_Neutral> hi guys, i had phpmyadmin set up with some databases on it for a website and gallery and such...thing is i changed my router and even though I can access the website and gallery and such I cannot access phpMyadmin anymore...what am i missing
[15:43] <Jimi_Neutral> very new to this by the way
[15:43] <Wulfy> kreantos, if he is trying to access your system?
[15:44] <kreantos> who?
[15:44] <pestilence> is there a firewall enabled by default in maverick?
[15:44] <elricL> BluesKaj: I just wanna work on ubuntu code. Dissapointing start :/
[15:44] <iceroot_> pestilence: no
[15:44] <pestilence> iceroot_: ok
[15:44] <kreantos> im talking about windowmanager
[15:44] <BluesKaj> elricL, nvidia drivers are broken as well
[15:44] <pestilence> is there other security software in place that would prevent pptp-linux from working correctly?
[15:44] <Wulfy> kreantos,  sorry wrong person
[15:44] <kreantos> no clue what you are talking about ;)
[15:44] <pestilence> e.g. apparmor?
[15:44] <kreantos> hehe
[15:45] <Wulfy> Frenk,  is the server on your system or a remote system?
[15:45] <elricL> BluesKaj: yeah,i figured that. Getting irritated now. Dont know how i am gonna work on unity without being able to run it
[15:45] <Jimi_Neutral> nm, forgot my old routers lan IP was different to this new one
[15:46] <Frenk> Wulfy remote system
[15:46] <replicasex> I don't suppose anybody knows anything about the 2d Unity package in the PPA?  It installed fine when I tested it out in a VM but on my regular system (10.10) it doesn't actually show up as Unity, it just has the default desktop when I choose it at the GDM.
[15:47] <Wulfy> frenk mind me asking what service your trying to allow access
[15:47] <bencahill> testing...
[15:47] <Zoffix_> Hey. Is samba the only way to let a windows computer access files on Ubuntu drive? I spent over two hours trying to make samba work to no avail; that's just more than I wish to invest into this...
[15:47] <IdleOne> bencahill: aboration in the matrix I suppose :)
[15:47] <terry> Frenk: It is probably a range of IPs
[15:47] <Frenk> Wulfy http imap pop3 smtp
[15:47] <bencahill> IdleOne: weird :)
[15:47] <bayer> hi there, i installed ubuntu 10.10 2 days ago, yesterday i did some upgrades, and suddenly when i try to boot the system it complains about not finding the harddrive: http://pastebin.com/HmEHnyT0
[15:47] <compdoc> Zoffix_, samba is the simplist way
[15:48] <terry> Frenk: Look at the file and see if you can find it.
[15:48] <Wulfy> Frenk, and he cant access any of them? is there any control panel in use (i.e cpanel?)
[15:48] <Zoffix_> compdoc, doesn't seem to work at all... When I try to connect from windows I get "The account is not authorized to log in from this station."
[15:48] <llutz> Zoffix_: ssh/scp/sftp as an alternate way, using winscp/putty/filezilla on win-side
[15:48] <compdoc> Zoffix_, check permissions on the folder youre sharing
[15:48] <Frenk> Wulfy no I use just ssh - he cant access any of them - thats right.
[15:49] <bencahill> hey guys, is there vm software that can run programs so they look like they're running native?
[15:49] <Wulfy> frenk very odd..... have you verified you can access such services other than ssh?
[15:49] <Frenk> Wulfy Yes I did - Website&Mail are fine
[15:50] <Zoffix_> compdoc, It's drwxr-xr-x 37 zoffix zoffix 4096 2011-02-16 07:46 Music/   In fact, it worked this morning until I rebooted my Ubuntu box.. >_< (and I tried rebooting again)
[15:50] <Frenk> for me
[15:50] <Wulfy> Frenk,  and its an external ip (i.e not a 192.168.*)
[15:51] <medfly> I have problem connecting with my wireless card. sitting right next to the router, it sees the network but doesn't connect. it uses WPA2 with AES/
[15:51] <terry> Frenk: to get a clue, do:  iptables -L |grep 10.1.1.    #leaving off the last portion or two
[15:51] <bencahill> Wulfy: there are more private ip ranges than 192.168, just fyi, you can read about it on wiki
[15:51] <medfly> ha;[
[15:51] <Frenk> Wulfy Right (atm im just rebooting the server =) ill give it a try =) )
[15:51] <bencahill> Wulfy: generally called public and private ip's
[15:51] <Wulfy> bencahill,  not sure why after last your on ignore but yes im aware of that i guess ccna taiught me something
[15:52] <Wulfy> why your not^
[15:52] <bencahill> Wulfy: what do you mean on ignore?
[15:52] <Wulfy> bencahill,  how can i put this polietly, butt out?
[15:53] <LIkesFruit>  /join #macosx
[15:53] <compdoc> heh
[15:53] <bencahill> lol
[15:53] <sipior> iceroot_: by the way (and apologies if you're not interested), i did confirm that it is possible to restart init via "telinit u". i had to double-check the man page; i don't do it very often, but it's nice to have the option.
[15:55] <replicasex> I'm befuddled as to why this silly 2d unity does not work -- alas!
[15:55] <coz_> replicasex,  are you on natty?
[15:55] <bencahill> so, is there vm software that can run apps like they're native?
[15:56] <iceroot_> sipior: nice to know
[15:56] <Wulfy> i used the 192.168 range to simplify would it confuse the issue if i gave EVERY possible private ip range (i discounted the 10.* range due to it being deployed mainly in larger networks the most common home range would have been the 192.168 range) and were in a linux channel aimed for the most part at the desktop/home user sigh now is that enough justification on why i said what i did?
[15:56] <zuber> hey, do u know any packet to login from webcam?
[15:57] <gt5050> join #hawkboard
[15:57] <Zoffix_> Jesus.. never ever upgrading my Ubuntu EVER again >_< So far I've spent 11 hours trying to make everything work ok... >_<
[15:57] <gt5050> quit
[15:57] <kevdog> don't upgrade -- just reinstall
[15:57] <omac> bencahill: I believe you mean emulator software.  What software do you want to run on ubuntu as if they were native?
[15:57] <Zoffix_> kevdog, that's actually what I did...
[15:58] <Zoffix_> blowed up my old install by accident.... so I formatted
[15:58] <example92> gentlemen, any idea?
[15:58] <bencahill> omac: just ms access with a database, it doesn't work in wine...
[15:58] <zuber> need packet to webcam login like startlogon
[15:58] <kevdog> yea I went through the phase I had to have the latest and greatest a while ago, now I just settle in on the LTS
[15:58] <Zoffix_> ditto :)
[15:59] <omac> bencahill:  have you tried opening an access database using the libreoffice(formerly known as openoffice) data tool?
[15:59] <zuber> need packet to webcam login like startlogon
[15:59] <bencahill> omac: nah, it's a very complicated database
[15:59] <bullcityrambler> hello.  i'm taking my first stab at bash scripting.  i'm adding a function to .bashrc in U10.10.  Is there anyway to have ubuntu load the function without restarting?
[15:59] <hazzarux> Hiiii! :)
[15:59] <iceroot_> bullcityrambler: source ~/.bashrc
[15:59] <medfly> woops -.- I just got the password wrong
[16:00] <i7-Cud4> Hi i have a problem with the booting the os, target filesystem dosnt have /sbin/init    try passin init=bootar
[16:00] <xeroadmin> has anybody had any grief with the latest updates?
[16:00] <zuber> need packet to webcam login like startlogon
[16:00] <iceroot_> zuber: stop repeating please
[16:00] <omac> I'm not a wine expert, but I'm sure you can tweak it to work with the help from some other people around here.
[16:00] <hazzarux> xeroadmin: what do you mean?
[16:00] <bullcityrambler> @iceroot_:  thanks!
[16:00] <sosaited> xeroadmin, The MIT krb ones? Nope
[16:00] <zuber> cmon
[16:00] <terry> xeroadmin: updates for 10.04?  or 10.10?  or...?
[16:00] <hazzarux> xeroadmin: The ATI drivers can be screwed up if you use MintUpdater.
[16:00] <christop1er> i have a hang on resume from hibernation about 2/3 of the time
[16:00] <xeroadmin> as in, today, youtube is refusing to load, and on boot, there was no theme applied, I had to reapply it... and even then it would not apply to the file manager...
[16:01] <example92> any idea? usb stick cant be recognised
[16:01] <xeroadmin> and I use nVidia, not ATI
[16:01] <omac> perhaps you could export your access data base into another format and import it into libreoffice.  i.e. sql export database
[16:01] <christop1er> no problems with pointing it to the resume device, so im not sure what
[16:01] <hazzarux> has somebody any experience with the Google Code-in Contest for pre-university students?
[16:01] <xeroadmin> network access seems to take a lot longer than usual, youtube doesn't load and facebook is on a similar path...
[16:02] <bencahill> omac: no, you're not answering the question, this database has over a hundred tables, and many forms and reports, I am not looking to redesign it :), just to run windows in a vm to access it
[16:02] <simplexio> leiska
[16:02] <Wulfy> Frenk,  any luck?
[16:03] <Frenk> Wulfy no - I cleared denyhosts and greping iptables -L with the apy = no luck
[16:03] <Frenk> Anyone any sugestions
[16:03] <example92> anybody help?
[16:03] <sosaited> example92, What do you get with lsusb?
[16:03] <vonlieverman> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[16:03] <BluesKaj> Frenk, what's your network setup ?
[16:03] <bencahill> Frenk: what exactly are you trying to do?
[16:03] <example92> Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0951:1625 Kingston Technology
[16:03] <vonlieverman> como funciona esto?
[16:04] <example92> but i cant open this
[16:04] <Wulfy> frenk odd sorry i cant really help any further check with bencahill  he seems to be as clever as yoda
[16:04] <kevdog> you probably need to manually mount it
[16:04] <kevdog> is the usb stick formated in fat32?
[16:04] <bencahill> Frenk: lol disregard what Wulfy said, he doesn't like me for some reason :P
[16:04] <sosaited> example92, Yes like kevdog said, you might need to manually mount it.
[16:05] <example92> i think so
[16:05] <example92> is this problem?
[16:05] <bencahill> !who | example92
[16:05] <kevdog> no fat32 is ok.
[16:06] <kevdog> Id have to do some re-reading how to manually mount the usb stick, however its not that hard.
[16:06] <example92> !kevgod, how to mount it manually?
[16:06] <Frenk> bencahill:  BluesKaj: I try to connect from an IP to the server. The server is rejecting every protocol - http,pop3,smtp. When I connect from my own laptop (other IP) I can access ssh and any other service. Denyhosts is cleared up and when I do iptables -L|grep IPTHATISBLOCKED it shows nothing!
[16:06] <cppguru> What do I need to uninstall from a maverick server to get rid of the CAN protocol (and address) family?  I would need Protocol family 29 for another driver, but CAN uses it :(
[16:06] <bayer> hi there, when i boot my ubuntu (freshly installed) 10.10 i suddenly get dropped to a shell, (initramfs) and it seems it cant find my harddrive anymore: http://pastebin.com/TWzpYBYv
[16:07] <bayer> it seems /proc/modules is empty
[16:07] <bencahill> Frenk: how are the laptop and the rejected IP connected to the server?
[16:07] <bayer> although grub seems to have a command to load an ext2 module
[16:07] <kevdog> what does dmseg | grep -i "SCSI device" say?
[16:07] <bayer> any ideas anyone?
[16:08] <sosaited> example92, First you need to find out if the USB is sda1 or not, which you can do by running dmesg when inserting the USB
[16:08] <harith> Hello, please Help, I want to install Ubuntu 10.10, I already have windows 7 installed with 5 partitions, now when partitiong for Ubuntu, I see only Unallocated space, while this unallocated space has the windows 7 partitions
[16:09] <sosaited> example92, Then make a folder in /media or /mnt "sudo mkdir /media/usb" and do "mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb" replace sda1 with whatever you get from dmesg
[16:09] <Frenk> bencahill: The server is remote - I connect from a remote location, so the rejected IP does
[16:10] <mbeierl> anyone else get hit by the dist upgrade of curses5 giving this error today?   "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ia32-libs: ia32-libs depends on lib32ncursesw5; however:  Package lib32ncursesw5 is not installed."
[16:10] <andreylosev> how do I set the sound from the commandline?
[16:10] <andreylosev> I tried amixer -q set PCM 2%+ unmute but it didn't work
[16:10] <kevdog> example92 -- take out and then put back in your usb drive --then type dmesg and look for a line relating the sda1 or sda2 or sda3 (or whatever)
[16:10] <bencahill> andreylosev: also do Master
[16:11] <kevdog> mbeierl: So just install the new package (I'm speculating)
[16:11] <KGBWolf> how can i disable ubuntu from automatically adjusting date
[16:11] <andreylosev> didn't work
[16:11] <mbeierl> kevdog: yep, just need to drop to a shell to do so, etc...
[16:11] <andreylosev> please not I have only cli
[16:11] <bencahill> andreylosev: error?
[16:11] <andreylosev> no gui at all
[16:11] <bencahill> !who | andreylosev
[16:11] <cppguru> Can anyone help with the CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol removal from maverick server? PF_CAN - 29.  What should I apt-get remove to get rid of it?
[16:12] <bencahill> andreylosev: can you use alsamixer?
[16:12] <andreylosev> no error either bencahill
[16:12] <andreylosev> yes I can
[16:12] <bencahill> andreylosev: does that work then?
[16:12] <andreylosev> it says full volume
[16:12] <bencahill> andreylosev: on master and pcm?
[16:12] <andreylosev> yes
[16:12] <sosaited> kevdog, Actually I too wrote it wrong. For USB memory sticks with one partition, won't it be just sda, sdb etc
[16:13] <andreylosev> !tab
[16:13] <mbeierl> kevdog: just as an fyi, apt first recommended removing quite a few packages before it suggested installing the missing dep :)
[16:13] <kevdog> mbeierl -- just install it anyways -- that's what I do
[16:13] <KGBWolf> ubuntu is changing date even though i set it to NOT adjust automatically???
[16:14] <example92> i didnt understanded what exactly is sdal...
[16:14] <andreylosev> http://pastebin.com/yRewph0f
[16:14] <andreylosev> that's what my alsamixer says bencahill
[16:14] <mbeierl> kevdog: sorry, to be clear I did.   I just wanted to offer help in case others here were bit by it and didn't know what to do when it started to recommend removing stuff
[16:14] <maxo> Hi there. Howdo i enable the explode plugin animation in compiz-manager?
[16:14] <omac> i hate open id.  I think it's crazy technology to consolidate your username/passwords into one place.
[16:14] <bencahill> andreylosev: I don't know, sorry :(
[16:15] <omac> Anyways I wanted to report a bug.
[16:15] <kevdog> example92: what does your dmesg output about sda??  sda -- scsi drive a
[16:15] <bencahill> omac: then don't use it
[16:15] <andreylosev> anyone else?
[16:15] <kevdog> never used open id?  I have no clue what this is
[16:15] <bencahill> so is there vm software that can run apps like native?
[16:16] <Frenk> bencahill: any sugestions where to look?
[16:16] <omac> the main launchpad login system changed recently, forcing me to use my email username and email password to login to launchpad.  Not gonna doit!
[16:16] <kevdog> openbox, virtualbox
[16:16] <bencahill> Frenk: you never told me anything, how is the laptop connected to the server?
[16:16] <kevdog> vmware
[16:16] <example92> !kevgod this one ??? sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
[16:16] <bencahill> omac: nah, I don't believe it
[16:16] <natrixnatrix89> Is it possible to use startup disc creator on ubuntu to create a startup usb that could install win xp ?
[16:17] <Frenk> bencahill: its above. the laptop is connected remortly to the server, as well as the rejected ip
[16:17] <kevdog> example92:  Thats the one
[16:17] <sosaited> example92, Yes that is most probably your USB.
[16:17] <bencahill> Frenk: remotely = over the internet?
[16:17] <Frenk> bencahill: yes
[16:17] <kevdog> example92: take a look at this page http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11637.html
[16:18] <bencahill> Frenk: how is the laptop connected to the internet?
[16:18] <Frenk> bencahill: over a dsl-modem
[16:18] <terry> Frenk: What type of server is it?
[16:18] <bencahill> Frenk: and it is hooked directly to the modem?
[16:19] <Frenk> bencahill: wifi - but i can access other websites from the laptop - just the one server isnt working
[16:19] <omac> I found a way to avoid openid.  I go to this web page to login:  http://askubuntu.com/users/login.  Otherwise it forces me to use openid from the tomcat bug reporting page.
[16:19] <Frenk> terry: root server in germany
[16:19] <bencahill> Frenk: you said the laptop worked, but another computer didn't
[16:19] <syn-ack>  /j #ubuntu-az-us
[16:19] <Frenk> bencahill: yeah sorry, i mean that (the other computer is also a laptop)
[16:19] <terry> Frenk: root server? not sure about that term.  Is that same as firewall server?
[16:20] <harith> Please Help here... I'm stuck at Ubuntu partition because I see no windows 7 partitions which I already have on my machine, I see them as one Unallocated Space
[16:20] <syn-ack> hah, did it again. Sorry.
[16:20] <Frenk> terry: its a dedicated server and I have the controle over the firewall (a linux-box connected to the internet)
[16:20] <terry> Frenk: Is it a NAT firewall server?
[16:20] <bencahill> Frenk: ok, so laptop that can connect is #1, laptop that can't connect is #2, sound good?
[16:20] <rumpe1> harith, where/how/... do you see it?
[16:20] <Frenk> bencahill: yes
[16:20] <bencahill> Frenk: ok, so how is #1 connected to the internet (including routers)?
[16:21] <rlm> hi to all
[16:21] <rlm> any spanish ?
[16:21] <bencahill> !es | rlm
[16:21] <rlm> ok thx
[16:21] <Frenk> bencahill: both can browse other websites, 1&2, still. Laptop 1 is connected via wifi->dslmodem->internet same 2
[16:21] <terry> Frenk: Is the server a Network Address Translation Firewall?
[16:21] <Frenk> terry: no it isnt
[16:21] <harith> rumpe1, I have 5 win7 partitions, now I want to install Ubuntu, I reached the partitioning stage, I see only one unallocated space
[16:22] <bencahill> Frenk: if they are both connected using the same modem, they have the same public ip
[16:22] <Frenk> terry: look dedicated server/root server
[16:22] <rumpe1> harith, manual partitioning?
[16:22] <harith> rumpe1, yes
[16:22] <Frenk> bencahill: no i mean the same procedure wifi->router->internet
[16:22] <kevdog> Frenk: I'm betting there is some NAT going on in your router
[16:22] <Frenk> 1&2 have different ips
[16:22] <omac> Get this, I went to login to launchpad and now they say I don't exist as a launchpad user when I try to recover my account.
[16:22] <rumpe1> harith, hmm... maybe wrong device?
[16:22] <terry> Can someone tell me what he means "deticated server/root server"?
[16:22] <KGBWolf> want to enable remote desktop server on ubuntu 10.04 LTS server
[16:22] <kevdog> Frenk: local IPs or external IPs
[16:22] <bencahill> Frenk: so if you visit whatismyip.com, they report different addresses?
[16:22] <omac> Now they are forcing me to use my email address and email password to login!
[16:23] <example92> kevdog! it needs a passwors to become root... and my password is wrong
[16:23] <omac> in other words they would love to know my email password.
[16:23] <terry> bencahill: He can't do that if the PC is not connected.
[16:23] <bencahill> omac: show me where, I don't believe you
[16:23] <harith> rumpe1, I am sure that this unallocated space has the win7 partitions, but for some reason, I only see them as one unallocated space
[16:23] <bencahill> terry: he said it can access other websites
[16:23] <kevdog> Don't use su:  just preface the commands with sudo (for ubuntu) --- and yes you need the admin password to mount volumes
[16:23] <Frenk> bencahill: yes, I am in Berlin - the other guy is in Monaco - I am conected to his laptop 2 wia teamviewer and via ssh im connected from laptop 1 to the server
[16:23] <omac> http://askubuntu.com/users/authenticate
[16:23] <harith> while there's some unallocated space that I have dedicated for Ubuntu
[16:24] <bencahill> Frenk: got it
[16:24] <omac> launchpad is forcing me to use openid.
[16:24] <terry> bencahill: Oh, I see.
[16:24] <bencahill> omac: no, you don't use your email password, openid simply uses your email address as their "username"
[16:24] <terry> Frenk: iptables -L   #Does it give you any clues?
[16:25] <bortreb> I'm trying to use ps to list the processes I'm running using  "ps -ww -U r --no-headers  -o comm" , but the output width never grows past 15 characters, even though the man page says that if comm is listed last the output will grow to whatever size it needs. what's up?
[16:25] <Frenk> terry:  no
[16:25] <Cale> hmm
[16:25] <Frenk> bencahill: any ideas?
[16:25] <bencahill> Frenk: so if you try on #2 to access the server with ssh, what does it do, timeout?
[16:25] <sosaited> harith, Did you apply some changes to the disk before? I have never seen Ubuntu/gparted seeing an NTFS partition as empty space. As a matter of fact it will identify even corrupt NTFS partitions
[16:25] <terry> Can  you ping the server from the laptop in question?
[16:25] <bencahill> terry: good one
[16:26] <Cale> In Ubuntu 10.10, assuming I don't want to use pulseaudio, how do I get back my alsa support for gnome-mixer? In 10.04, I just recompiled gnome-media, but it seems that disabling pulseaudio support in that now disables building the volume control.
[16:26] <omac> well I had a launchpad account, but it disappeared.
[16:26] <omac> My email address was lost.
[16:26] <joelr> good day! i'm having trouble installing from the amd64 version of the 10.10 desktop cd/iso. it keeps booting me into what seems like a live cd and the "install ubuntu" shortcut on the desktop and in the admin menu does not do anything.
[16:26] <terry> Frenk: Can  you ping the server from the laptop in question?  Also, what type of connection is this laptop in question attempting to make?
[16:26] <joelr> any suggestions?
[16:27] <Frenk> terry bencahill no i can not ping the server
[16:27] <devin> Hello, I have a gnome/ubuntu issue to report. Maybe 100 papercuts worthy.
[16:27] <harith> sosaited, I never applied any changes, just partitioned the disk for win7, i have 5 NTFS partitions, now I'm stuch at Ubuntu partitiong because I see the 5 NTFSs as one Unallocated space
[16:27] <bencahill> Frenk: could you msg me the server IP?
[16:27] <omac> I tried to recover my password, but they said my username email doesn't exist.
[16:27] <harith> stuck**
[16:27] <terry> Frenk: but  you CAN ping it from the other Laptop?
[16:27] <Frenk> terry: yes
[16:28] <Flannel> omac: Try #launchpad, they may be able to help you better
[16:28] <terry> Are you sure you're on the same network range?
[16:28] <bencahill> Frenk: wait, how are you connected to laptop #1 from #2 again? vpn?
[16:28] <anir> salut
[16:28] <omac> thanks
[16:28] <devin> can i get a private conversation with a dev about a bug I found?
[16:28] <sosaited> harith, Partitioned for WIndows 7? You don't have it already installed?. And with which software did you partition them? Was there data on it?
[16:28] <Frenk> bencahill: teamviewer
[16:28] <bencahill> devin: try #ubuntu-bugs
[16:28] <bortreb> anyone know about ps on ubuntu?
[16:28] <anir> salam
[16:29] <bencahill> Frenk: can you view/ping internet websites on #2 while connected with teamviewer?
[16:29] <bencahill> bortreb: man ps
[16:29] <maxo> Hi there. Howdo i enable the explode plugin animation in compiz-manager?
[16:29] <Frenk> bencahill: yes I do
[16:29] <bencahill> Frenk: ok, could you msg me the server IP?
[16:29] <zuber> how i can reverse preview in webcam 180 degrees?
[16:29] <terry> Frenk: Do you have any reason to believe the server has blocked the laptop in question?
[16:29] <harith> sosaited, no my laptop is new, I first installed windows and made 5 partitions during the win7 installation process
[16:29] <Frenk> bencahill: message with /m bencahill ?
[16:30] <bencahill> Frenk: /msg bencahill texthere
[16:30] <harith> sosaited, now with ubuntu, I don't see the 5 partitions, I see them as one Unallocated space
[16:30] <terry> Frenk: Can I pm you?
[16:30] <shubbar> i am getting key error when updating sources ... http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/wsZDTbA7
[16:30] <zuber> how i can reverse preview my webcam by 180 degrees? any idea any1?
[16:31] <sosaited> harith, Can you run Livecd? You can use Test Disk to search for the partitions if they are lost somehow
[16:31] <barf> http://pastie.org/private/sjrlewavkn6dfv2r1eysa
[16:32] <agentgasmask> Hi. During the install of phpmyadmin, it asks to "configure database with dbconfig-common?". I already have some databases setup in mysql. Should I just skip this?
[16:32] <harith> sosaited, no need, I quit the LiveCD, then I booted win7 normally where I se the whole partitions safe and sound
[16:32] <harith> see*
[16:32] <[4-tea-2]> agentgasmask: it's optional, if you allow it, it might save you some manual work.
[16:33] <Frenk> bencahill yes i can
[16:33] <txomon> has anyone worked with eclipse?
[16:33] <[4-tea-2]> agentgasmask: it will not affect existing databases.
[16:33] <bortreb> bencahill: yes, I've read the man page -- I'm wondering why "ps -ww -U r --no-headers -o comm" never produces output greater than 15 characters, when the man page clearly states that "When (comm is) specified last, this column will extend to the edge of the display."
[16:33] <bencahill> Frenk: odd, I don't know then
[16:33] <sosaited> harith, This is weird. Did you try running livecd again and see if it shows the partitions now?
[16:33] <bencahill> bortreb: tty?
[16:33] <harith> sosaited, I've already tried it twice...
[16:34] <bortreb> bencahill: what does tty mean in this context?
[16:34] <bencahill> bortreb: are you on a tty or a term emulator?
[16:34] <bortreb> bencahill: X term
[16:34] <bencahill> bortreb: try the command from a tty
[16:35] <abstrakt> txomon: I'm sure that the people in #eclipse have worked with eclipse, yes
[16:35] <harith> sosaited, thanks for the try, I'll figure something out
[16:35] <bortreb> bencahill: same problem
[16:36] <bencahill> bortreb: ah, can't really help here as I'm on win :(
[16:38] <bortreb> it doesn't even work with something like "ps --width 500 --cols 500  -U r --no-headers -o comm:50" ... any ideas?
[16:41] <vooze> If i'm root.. how do i change the password of mysql root-user if i dont remember it?

[16:41] <KGBWolf> installed xrdp and when i try to rdp from windows i get because of a protocol error. this session will be disconnected
[16:42] <sipior> vooze: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[16:42] <lwizardl> why does the right click menu in gnome remove the compress/add to archive option for ISO images
[16:42] <Pumpkin-> vooze: you need to run mysqld up with --skip-grant-tables, and then reset the password. I'd read something like http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-generic (assuming its 5.x)

[16:47] <example92> ohh, ya, thanks.. i was typing sudo...!!
[16:47] <Odaym> or just "sudo command"
[16:47] <wildbat> Rubix`: System -> Admin.. -> Hardware driver

[16:54] <nsahoo> whats the software to check for any error in hard drives?
[16:54] <bortreb> can anyone confirm that  "ps --width 500 --cols 500 -U <your-username-here> --no-headers -o comm:50" doesn't print anything wider than 15, contrary to the man page?
[16:55] <Odaym> nsahoo, try here
[16:55] <example92> has anybody teamviewer or somethink to help me with mount... i really can't
[16:55] <Odaym> http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287
[16:55] <BiPolah> bortreb: 15 characters?
[16:55]  * Pumpkin- makes something that is running that is longer than 15 chars to test
[16:55] <bortreb> BiPolah: yeah, 15 characters
[16:56] <BiPolah> Bortreb: Yeah, 15 chars maximum. "telepathy-logger" has 16 chars and only shows up "telepathy-logge"
[16:56] <wildbat> bortreb: ya 15 char only
[16:56] <Pumpkin-> indeed, doesn't print anything longer than 15 chars for me, despite me now running something that is 40 characters long
[16:56] <bortreb> so if I'm reading the man page right, that's a bug in ps, right?
[16:57] <__Midor> I am using nouveau driver instead of Nvidia's proprietary driver. I am seeing flickers when running games (or even simple benchmark: glmark2) is that normal? Should I hope it would be fixed soon?
[16:57] <bortreb> because it says in reference to comm that if it's at the end of the format string, it expands to the terminal width, moderated by width and coll, etc
[16:57] <DeuceP> What is a good book to get a good grasp on the linux terminal?
[16:57] <IdleOne> !cli > DeuceP
[16:57] <compdoc> google isnt bad, and its free
[16:58] <example92> who kno how to mount manually a usb stick?
[16:59] <Pumpkin-> bortreb: my very quick glance over the ps man page suggests it is a bug
[16:59] <rumpe1> example92, find device via fdisk -l, mount it with "mount devicename mountpoint"
[16:59] <WhaleDolphin> Hi, I have been hitting Kernel Panics on boot with my XFS root partition.  Is anyone else hitting the same?
[16:59] <bortreb> example92: look at /dev to find the usb stick's special file, read man mount, create an empty folder to mount to, then use mount to mount it
[16:59] <Jason_> hi
[17:00] <DeuceP> I know the basics of the terminal I was just wondering what a good in depth reference was
[17:00] <example92> fdisk -l
[17:00] <example92> ?
[17:00] <cannonfodder> DeuceP
[17:00] <WhaleDolphin> I've read that GRUB sometimes isnt able to mount XFS, does that have something to do with it?
[17:00] <bortreb> if it really is a bug, then I should report it, yes? But, I don't know how to do that. any pointers/ something to read?
[17:00] <souheb> can i downgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to 10.4 without format?
[17:00] <cannonfodder> get a book on bash scripting to master your terminal
[17:00] <rumpe1> example92, sudo fdisk -l
[17:00] <Jeruvy> souheb: no, you'd need to reinstall
[17:00] <cannonfodder> or find a good website tutorial on bash scripting to master your terminal
[17:01] <ct529> hi!
[17:01] <cannonfodder> DeuceP learn how to pipe and grep
[17:02] <DeuceP> cannonfodder Alright

[17:17] <sosaited> llutz, I am not sure. AFAIK it basically ads the custom entries to .cfg.
[17:17] <sosaited> Someone correct me if I am wrong
[17:18] <rumpe1> k0rdz, "won't let me" isn't enough information

[17:22] <cannonfodder> hey you guys...does ubuntu/linux do well recognizing projectors? are they plug and play?
[17:22] <pareLi> sosaited: i have Nvidia, yea i just did that.. Thought it would fix my problem, when i got to System > Admin > Additional drivers now there's two driveres listed and the (version current)[Recommended] one is activated..

[17:24] <lima> i mean
[17:24] <sosaited> pareLi, But you can only use Ubuntu in low-graphics with this driver right? You can try to see if activating the other driver fixes your problem, and then search for any bugs/fixes related to your card
[17:24] <qcode> hi
[17:24] <lima> lima is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[17:24] <geekbri> lima can you login locally as user ubuntu?
[17:24] <BluesKaj> Bartzy, if you're using one gateway/router/modem they''re the same
[17:25] <Fuchs> lima: you can boot in single user / recovery mode and look at /etc/sudoers,
[17:25] <Fuchs> lima: probably you are not in the right groups
[17:25] <lima> Fuchs, thats what I was  thinking
[17:25] <lima> Fuchs, how do I do that? forgot how to do it
[17:25] <Rico> llutz: where can i look where windows is? how it names the hd(0....
[17:25] <llutz> Rico: "sudo fdisk -l"
[17:25] <lima> Fuchs, you are right
[17:26] <Bartzy> BluesKaj: What do you mean ?
[17:26] <Fuchs> lima: holding shift when booting should give you grub, there you can choose it

[17:31] <sosaited> pareLi, Well if you don't have the problem right now, then you don't need to activate the other one. If that low graphics message appears after you have been using your system for a while, then its X bug. See X log to see what exactly is causing that

[17:31] <Rico> llutz: i havent a menu.lst yet, it is wrong?

[17:37] <Rico> everywhere stands ### BEGIN and such things
[17:37] <Rico> llutz: everywhere stands ### BEGIN and such things
[17:37] <openSUSEkorisnik> dont know if u understand mine issue
[17:37] <rumpe1> openSUSEkorisnik, sometimes you have to adjust the subtitle-filename if it should be loaded together with the movie-file
[17:37] <openSUSEkorisnik> I want to set them at that black place benith video
[17:37] <openSUSEkorisnik> like in KMP player
[17:37] <rumpe1> openSUSEkorisnik, ah... ok
[17:37] <llutz> Rico: you can create /etc/grub.d/11-windows
[17:38] <openSUSEkorisnik> and VLC can only do that .txt subtitles
[17:38] <lima> Fuchs, what groups do I usually need to part of by default?
[17:38] <openSUSEkorisnik> So mine question is does anybody know about any play that can do that ?

[18:02] <sosaited> Rico, After the Ubuntu install is complete, it searches for and shows you all the other OS it found, and then asks you if these are all it. Then it installs Grub and adds the menu entries. Didn't it find Windows then?
[18:02] <bortreb> thank you llutz

[18:30] <sre-su> I've a single HDD1 containing Ubunt OS. Now, if I attach another HDD2 containing Windows and then change boot priority for HDD1 over other, how later in ubuntu I can update grub so that its easily detected and allowed for boot from grub menu?
[18:30] <sre-su> Ubuntu*
[18:30] <Gulfstream> I need help finding the right driver & installing it for my RT2870 USB wireless card... I am looking at this page atm :  http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
[18:31] <edbian> sre-su, attach the hdd2, boot ubuntu, run this: sudo update-grub  it will automatically find windows and add an entry into grub.
[18:31] <edbian> sre-su, Then when you boot grub will ask you which OS to boot
[18:31] <sre-su> edbian: is this a normal approach?
[18:31] <edbian> sre-su, yep
[18:32] <DoctorPepper> can someone help me please ,  i am  having a issue configuring a tramsparent proxy  with content filtering using squid+squidGuard  but  the  filtering bit  doesnt seem to work
[18:32] <edbian> sre-su, It's called dual-booting
[18:32] <YouKay> Hey guys, what is the command to make 'sudo aptitude upgrade' install the upgrades without asking 'Do you want to install the update? (Y/N)"?
[18:32] <sre-su> edbian: And, I've read that Ubuntu can always be installed after Windows since there ll be no MBR issues... Will it affect grub or any other settings
[18:33] <sre-su> Ya, thank you!
[18:33] <YouKay> Or, make Yes to any command at the beginning?
[18:33] <edbian> YouKay, sudo aptitude -y safe-upgrade
[18:33] <YouKay> Oh, many thanks edbian. Does -y make Yes to all commands?
[18:33] <edbian> sre-su, what you read is true.  Grub is 'the MBR issues'
[18:34] <edbian> YouKay, sure does!  (course it only asks one time in safe-upgrade)
[18:34] <YouKay> edbian: Oh, many thanks. :)
[18:34] <Senjai> Hey all
[18:34] <sre-su> edbian: Will adding hdd2 after hdd1 affect any settings for grub/linux?
[18:35] <sre-su> edbian: apart from its detection after update-grub
[18:35] <edbian> sre-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] <edbian> sre-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 hdd1
[18:35] <LucidGuy> does anyone know if the allowusers line within sshdconf supports user@ip? example  john@10.10.10.20      I have an ubuntu system that seems to fail.

[18:36] <milind> i wrote a script to pull from my git repo , but i want that script to start everytime i restart my system..how do i go about doing that...i addeed the script to /usr/bin and i have a soft link to /etc/init.d and i ran the udo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/custom_script.sh defaults command as well...but for some reason its not pulling from the repo...all other command work this way..git related commands are notworking
[18:36] <edbian> milind, scripts you wrote should go in /usr/local/bin
[18:36] <sre-su> edbian: Directing booting of Windows from grub , detecting and allocation of its partition like /dev/sdb* will be done by update-grub, right?
[18:36] <edbian> milind, look at update-rc.d
[18:37] <edbian> sre-su, yes
[18:37] <Senjai> Hey guys, so does anyone have some time to help out a noob with linux? I finally took some comp sci courses at my uni. I have limited C++ knowledge on windows, does anyone know any books or resources I could use to learn linux?
[18:37] <Senjai> I have can use the bash at a basic level already.
[18:37] <Senjai> I can*
[18:37] <edwardo> yolinux.com
[18:37] <eXpLoD> how do i start open office calc application?it's not in the applications tab
[18:37] <edbian> Senjai, Just download and burn a live CD and start messing around.  That is my advice to you.
[18:37] <llutz> LucidGuy: look for "Patterns" in  man 5 ssh_config
[18:37] <edwardo> w3schools.com is good too not for linux though
[18:37] <Senjai> edbian I have been, I use the bash for 100% navigation, and am learning emacs :)
[18:38] <milind> edbian, yes theya re in usr/local/bin..and the did the update-rc.d too...if i put some other commands in the script...its working on restart..but just git pull orgin master is not working...any ideas..i am thinking on start up its failing to use my ssh ketys
[18:38] <edbian> Senjai, You want to learn more stuff?  Start looking into open source projects and trying to help out.
[18:38] <Senjai> edbian I'm mostly looking for linux related programming books, web and local, most books and sites are windows specific programming
[18:38] <edbian> milind, I'm not sure.  You did the Ubuntu part right.  Now it's just a programming issue I think
[18:39] <Senjai> edbian how can I? I havent had any formal training yet (intro comp sci courses) and some direct X stuff i experimented with when I was younger
[18:39] <Senjai> I mean I know C++, enough to program in it, but it's less than, proper.
[18:40] <edbian> Senjai, Besides compiling, file I/O logistics, and GUI stuff, most programming languages are platform independent.  I'm not sure there is a lot to learn about 'linux' programming

[18:45] <SkyVodka>  sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

[19:01] <akm22562> Hey All, I just got a NetBook (HP Mini 1150NR).  I installed 10.4 NetBook Remix.  My max Res is 1024x576.  Sometimes as a result, things get cutt off.
[19:01] <milen8204> how I can open .bin files ???
[19:02] <spasysheep> milen8204: depends what type of .bin file. lots of things use that extension
[19:02] <schnuffle> milen8204: chmod +x binfile.bin, but be sure you know what you do!
[19:02] <Who> Logan_WP:  that's for Realtek Wifi card
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: what is the filename and where is it located?
[19:02] <trond-> can I use a natty kernel on maveric. I need the 38-30 (the 38-rc4-actually)
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> trond-: there is a ppa with the 38 kernel but it won't be supported here in any way
[19:03] <trond-> ActionParsnip, this one? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[19:03] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, /home/milen/Azureus Downloads/Swat 4 The Stetchkov Syndicate - RELOADED/rld-sw4x.bin
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> trond-: isn't that a paid for software?

[19:05] <example92> hot to mark a program as "executable" if I want to run it on wine?
[19:05] <Gulfstream> how do I copy a file?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: isn't that a paid for software?
[19:05] <trond-> ActionParsnip, no worries
[19:05] <milen8204> spasysheep, it is for virtual CD
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> trond-: yes thats the ppa, if you get issues then the channel cannot help as you are using 3rd party kernel
[19:06] <milen8204> i downloaded from one site
[19:06] <SkyVodka> no pirating
[19:06] <Gulfstream> How I copy a file in terminal?
[19:06] <SkyVodka> cp
[19:06] <llutz> Gulfstream: cp file /path
[19:06] <coinop> OKay, so I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop I just bought, ran fine for two weeks, now I cant get GRUB to boot. It just keeps starting and shutting down repeatedly. Anyone have any tips?
[19:07] <trond-> ActionParsnip, I c. Because there isn't an official 38 kernel for maveric, right?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> trond-: correct, 38 is a natty kernel
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> !piracy | Gulfstream
[19:08] <Guest5091> coinop, rtry to reinstall it
[19:08] <Pici> ActionParsnip: You mistargeted there...
[19:08] <Senjai> Hey guys, in ubuntu, how does ubuntu know, say after installing google-chrome that google-chrome points to the right file? does it use a registry or what?
[19:08] <Gulfstream> ActionParsnip: I didn't know copying files was piracy! Sorry!
[19:08] <Pici> Gulfstream: It wasn't supposed to be pointed at you.
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Pici: did a bit

[19:10] <ActionParsnip> yay
[19:11] <SkyVodka> Senjai, when chrome is installed, a command is added to the list that bash reads from
[19:11] <Senjai> SkyVodka Where is that list?
[19:11] <_Neytiri_> how do i install java via the command line
[19:12]  * Senjai is new from windows, misses the registry, kind of..
[19:12] <coinop> reinstall will not work, it wont boot from the disc. its just keeps repeatedly sarting up and shutting down.
[19:13] <Senjai> _Neytiri_ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
[19:13] <Senjai> I would think
[19:13] <coinop> I just want to know if its a hardware or software issue.
[19:13] <_Neytiri_>  cant find pacakge
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> !java | Senjai

[19:14] <fbsrosa> exit

[19:14] <Senjai> update your apt
[19:14] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, you mean that is pirate copy ?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: yes, its clear you used Azeurus to pull it down. Piracy is not condoned or supported here
[19:14] <SkyVodka> milen8204, if you downloaded the game for free, then yes
[19:15] <Senjai> _Neytiri_ update your cache, use sudo apt-get update

[19:15] <milen8204> ok i will delete it
[19:15] <Senjai> _Neytiri_ then try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
[19:15] <SkyVodka> !bash
[19:15] <trond-> ActionParsnip, which again means that I shall not use it on maveric. I see that there are backports to lucid. Is it a better option to reinstall to lucid (lts) and then use the backport to lucid?
[19:15] <BunnyFooFoo> 4018: <Speedsta> heh, just wasted 25c on a msg saying: ":`("
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> trond-: not sure, i've not played with it
[19:16] <trond-> ActionParsnip, I see. (someone has to, maybe I am that someone). I need to use the 38-kernel because the intel graphic card issues are fixed in that kernel.

[19:26] <Senjai> SkyVodka THANK YOU :)
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> eXpLoD: run it in a terminal
[19:27] <Atlantic777> How could I get local ip withou root acc, I don't have access to the ifconfig...
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> eXpLoD: its for when you run: sl   instead of:  ls
[19:27] <eXpLoD> its just an ascii train lol
[19:27] <erUSUL> SkyVodka: you mean --> echo $PATH
[19:27] <SkyVodka> that'll work too erUSUL
[19:27] <galax11> how i install the java
[19:28] <secretary_linux> Atlantic777: usually that just means ifconfig's location isn't in your PATH..try /sbin/ifconfig
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Atlantic777: ifconfig $1 | grep "inet addr" | awk -F: '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}' | tail -n 1
[19:28] <SkyVodka> galax11, open Ubuntu Software Center and search for java
[19:28] <erUSUL> SkyVodka: not too. "more" will error out
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> !java | galax11
[19:28] <burl> hellllllloooooo
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Atlantic777: users can run ifconfig
[19:28] <galax11> thank you

[19:29] <jkg> ok, how do I get rid of this damn fish?!
[19:29] <Atlantic777> ActionParsnip: yap, by default can, but I can't run it from here. Simply I don't have such bash alias/command.
[19:29] <Pici> jkg: killall gnome-panel
[19:29] <Atlantic777> Maybe this with /sbin/ifconfig will help.
[19:29] <burl> Ubuntu kinda sucks.
[19:29] <coz_> jkg,    opesn a terminal      type   killall  gnome-panel
[19:29] <jkg> um, I'd rather not kill everything else on my panel

[19:40] <nagel182> anda nice user helped me... his name started with u..... i want ask is he here?
[19:40] <ohsix> alfredWinI_bego: dependencies are automatically installed; mint is broken, this isn't a mint support channel
[19:40] <Odaym> I was thinking of something more along the lines of the global Linux community agreeing on standard distros for Desktop usage, standard distros for Server usage and so on
[19:41] <jkg> oh was c0br42 that girl that was in earlier asking about Mint?
[19:41] <alfredWinI_bego> ohsix: right.. i wanted ubuntu support
[19:41] <Odaym> but that does limit freedom since it would kill a lot of initiative in a lot of people/developers
[19:41] <Senjai> Odaym, doesn't that go against the whole philosophy of linux?
[19:41] <genii-around> Odaym: This is more a topic for #ubuntu-offtopic than here :)
[19:41] <BluesKaj> splitsville!
[19:42] <guampa> Odaym: those kinds of efforts are in place already from years, freedesktop.org and a lot others
[19:42] <ohsix> Odaym: commercial distros are there to provide a standard for people that want one maintained over time
[19:42] <Odaym> yea Senjai, this is what i was thinking, and it's not easy to avoid this in your thought process the more you progress in this field
[19:42] <Odaym> that is why a lot of "others" fall for it
[19:42] <Odaym> yes i know it's for offtopic, maybe i will go there
[19:42] <Odaym> sorry
[19:42] <alfredWinI_bego> what are some reasons that my ubuntu 9.10 distro may not be installing dependencies when i try apt-get?
[19:42] <Senjai> Odaym see you there :)
[19:42] <robho-neo> ohsix: this is what I got from lspci -mm --> 00:0a.0 "Ethernet controller" "nVidia Corporation" "MCP77 Ethernet" -ra2 "Micro-Star International Co., Ltd." "Device 508c"
[19:43] <ohsix> standards of the freedesktop type can be considered solved problems, ones that before it existed were blockers for interop and things to bicker over
[19:43] <KB1JWQ> alfredWinI_bego: Sure.  "You're running Mint."
[19:43] <alfredWinI_bego> KB1JWQ: you don't know that
[19:43] <IdleOne> alfredWinI_bego: One reason may be that it isn't Ubuntu. Maybe because it is broken and we don't support it

[19:44] <nagel182> Can someone help me instaling apache2 and PHP from source?
[19:44] <ohsix> robho-neo: i don't know anything about the status of the mcp ethernet driver, sorry
[19:44] <rumpe1> KGBWolf, why would you need something like that?
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> KGBWolf: does your system use NTP?
[19:44] <llutz> KGBWolf: stupid question: why do you change date? it its not correct, set timezone
[19:44] <rumpe1> KGBWolf, just set your local time correctly
[19:45] <Internet> how to install php in ubuntu

[19:46] <KB1JWQ> nagel182: What's the hard part? :-)
[19:46] <ohsix> robho-neo: theres documentation of sorts in the kernel tree, it should at least say what the driver can't be expected to do _if_ it's a driver restriction, due to immaturity or whatever
[19:46] <KB1JWQ> !pm | nagel182
[19:46] <KGBWolf> theres a REASON FOR  everything
[19:47] <anonboots> I still cant get my Deskjet 1000 to work. I downloaded and installed the latest HPLIP.
[19:47] <incorrect> other than inkscape, is there anything than does a good job of svg files?
[19:47] <KGBWolf> is there a time service i can stop?
[19:47] <IdleOne> alfredWinI_bego: don't force me to ban you. try ##linux maybe they are willing to help you with that broken distro

[19:47] <Diverdude> i have a folder (with files and subfolders) i want to send via ftp to my ftp server. If i do mput myfolder i get the error: myfolder: not a plain file. How do i send this folder with all content to the server via ftp?
[19:47] <KB1JWQ> nagel182: What part of the !pm factoid are you unclear about?
[19:48] <nagel182> sorry i saw that after i wrote.

[19:48] <alfredWinI_bego> why do you think mint is "broken"?
[19:48] <llutz> Diverdude: mput folder/*
[19:48] <jkg> alfredWinI_bego: I'm going to guess "because it doesn't correctly install dependencies"
[19:48] <ikonia> alfredWinI_bego: we don't - its offtopic, drop it please
[19:48] <ohsix> KGBWolf: theres a reason, people asked for it, people do that so they can tell you a better way to accomplish your goal instead of helping you make a mess
[19:48] <alfredWinI_bego> jkg: look at Internet he's having the same problem as me!!!
[19:48] <SkyVodka> alfredWinI_bego, because it isn't Ubuntu?
[19:48] <Guiri> How can I add a path like /usr/lib/afni/bin to my command line permenantly?
[19:49] <ikonia> Guiri: PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/afni/bin
[19:49] <ikonia> Guiri: export PATH
[19:49] <alfredWinI_bego> well the reason i went with mint is because ubuntu sucks
[19:49] <Guiri> that will survive restarts ikonia?
[19:49] <Senjai> export PATH=$PATH:your/path/here
[19:49] <oxi> hi
[19:49] <Internet> !pm | llutz
[19:49] <ikonia> Guiri: put it in your .bash_profile
[19:49] <Wulfy> alfredWinI_bego,  quite an odd statment as its based on ubuntu its not a MAJOR change
[19:49] <ohsix> if they're the same thing, how does ubuntu suck when mint doesn't :O
[19:49] <llutz> Internet: ? don't fool around
[19:49] <CoinOp> Grub will not boot. Any help?
[19:50] <SkyVodka> Internet, use > instead of |
[19:50] <Diverdude> llutz, hmm then it asks to copy each file, and then it says for each file: 553-Can't open that file: No such file or directory

[19:50] <oxi> how can I create a tar.bz2 of /mnt/sda1, where a /mnt/sda1/samplefile.txt is stored with the absolute path /samplefile/txt within the tar.bz2?
[19:50] <ohsix> SkyVodka: isn't the brand name Skyy?
[19:50] <Jordan_U> CoinOp: Do you use windows, and if so do you have Adobe Photoshop installed?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> CoinOp: when the system fires up, what happens?
[19:51] <SkyVodka> ohsix, you are gonna make me go to the liqueur cabinet before 5?
[19:51] <nagel182> haaah I come from windows, so oI'm noob to linux. I come here to set up a PHP development area. I installed LAMp reviously.. but what i needed to developed didnt work. i needed to instal magickwand for PHP. but that can only be installed if you have the PHP source. now i was herea few days ago, and a kind user helped me a lot(I can only remeber that his name started with u) and with his help i installed appache 2 and php 5 from source
[19:51] <nagel182> .. but fater that he elft... now i tried to countinue but Linux crashed, so hard i needed to reinstall.
[19:51] <saymin> #jaje
[19:51] <CoinOp> I dual boot with win7. I do not use adobe ps

[19:51] <nagel182> can someone help me to setup them again?
[19:51] <saymin> #jaje is of pokemon
[19:52] <oxi> I'd like to strip out the mount dir
[19:52] <craigbass1976> I'm going to ask in #thunderbird (on the mozilla network) too, but does anyone know of an add on or plugin that allows you to write notes about people in the address book?
[19:52] <KGBWolf> I dont have NTP
[19:52] <CoinOp> It loads the acer boot screen, then i get the flashing underscore, then a blank screen, then the underscore again but solid, then it repeats the process
[19:52] <SkyVodka> ohsix, I know, doesn't look as good though

[19:53] <IdleOne> !ot | saymin
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> oxi: you will need the partition mounted but not in use (liveCD is ideal here), then just create a compress archive of the mount point
[19:53] <CoinOp> It will not load the ubuntu disc or recovery discs
[19:53] <saymin> ok
[19:53] <v0lksman> nagel182, I could be wrong but if all you need is the php source to compile something against then you can install php the normal way (apt-get install php5) and also grab the source apt-get source php5, then compile magicwand against the source you downloaded
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> oxi: tar czf archivename.tar.gz foldertoarchive
[19:53] <llutz> oxi: cd  /mnt/sda1/    then create tar.file
[19:54] <Joseph_> I am attempting to install ubuntu 10,10 on my macbook.  I have followed the instructions for installation (created a partition, installed rEFIt) but whenever I try to load Ubuntu from the live CD i get a black screen after the first splash.  I tried moving to the text based installer, but i get the same results after selecting "install ubuntu".  the disc and memory checks both passed tests.  Does anyone have any help to offer?
[19:54] <Jordan_U> CoinOp: There are some windows programs whose DRM is known to overwrite GRUB, Photoshop is probably the most used, Dell Data Safe is another. Did you notice that the problems with GRUB happened after booting into Windows?
[19:54] <nagel182> How?
[19:54] <nagel182> how can i recompile it on an existing PHP?
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> Joseph_: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[19:54] <llutz> oxi:  or use --strip-components  when extracting tarfile
[19:55] <nagel182> v0lksman.. can we speak in PM?
[19:55] <Joseph_> actionparsnip: will this work with 10,10?
[19:55] <Jordan_U> CoinOp: You can no longer even boot from any CD as well?
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> Joseph_: works in any
[19:56] <HACKZ> hi there is anyone using pdfedit?
[19:56] <supertux__> CoinOp, what's the problem?
[19:56] <anonboots> I still cant get my Deskjet 1000 to work. I downloaded and installed the latest HPLIP, with no success. What should I do next?
[19:56] <v0lksman> nagel182, no, I'm busy and can only offer a little help...the channel will pick up where we leave off... :)
[19:57] <CoinOp> The only problem i ever noticed was when would shut down ubuntu i would get an miso exception, but it never was an issue. I did have to boot 7 yesterday to quickly use a flash website I couldnt load in ubuntu.
[19:57] <v0lksman> where are your docs for magicwand?
[19:57] <CoinOp> It wont boot any cd at all, correct. just the endless startup and shut down.
[19:57] <v0lksman> nagel182, ^
[19:57] <KGBWolf> does ubunt grab date from BIOS?
[19:57] <SkyyVodka> no
[19:57] <saymin> #jaje
[19:57] <Jordan_U> CoinOp: Sounds like a hardware/firmware issue.
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> CoinOp: did you MD5 test the ISO you burned? Did you make the CD check itself for errors once the boot starts :)
[19:58] <SkyyVodka> saymin, why do you keep posting that? Is there a reason?
[19:58] <v0lksman> KGBWolf, check for ntp running on your system..
[19:59] <Joseph_> ActionParsnip: Thanks, i will try
[19:59] <CoinOp> I dont recall doing either of those things ActionParsnip
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> CoinOp: then how did you know the ISO was complete or consistent?
[20:00] <malv> why does flash now crash chromium?
[20:00] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: When multiple CDs that used to work don't even get to the boot menu it's pretty safe to say there is a hardware problem.
[20:00] <idm> ola
[20:00] <idm> olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaAAAaaaAAaa
[20:00] <CoinOp> I guess I just assumed if it ran correctly for two weeks through dozens of boot ups and software installs it was good to go.
[20:00] <ikonia> idm: please don't do that
[20:00] <ikonia> !es |idm
[20:01] <CoinOp> So where do I go from here?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: when users have install issues, its the first thing I ask and they NEVER test anyting....
[20:02] <saymin> vivre dans un monde mystérieux, chacun d'entre nous
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> CoinOp: test the ISO as well as check the CD for defects once it starts to boot, you can also test the RAM from the same screen you test the CD from

[20:09] <openSUSEkorisnik> anyone tried KMplayer on Wine?
[20:09] <BluesKaj> openSUSEkorisnik, you don't use wine to run kmplayer
[20:09] <SkyyVodka> KMplayer in WIne?
[20:09] <SkyyVodka> odd
[20:09] <Odaym> I am ssh'ed to a computer and i want to go into a directory in it and have its Rythmbox or any other music application play a song
[20:10] <openSUSEkorisnik> how do you mean?
[20:10] <openSUSEkorisnik> Isnt it windows only
[20:10] <fatcobrah> hi
[20:10] <Odaym> !who
[20:10] <ohsix> too bad kgbwolf wouldn't say what he was doing, you can make a .so & use LD_PRELOAD to override the clock
[20:10] <BluesKaj> kmplayer is alinux app openSUSEkorisnik
[20:10] <EddFace> is there an off topic channel?

[20:11] <openSUSEkorisnik> Guys
[20:12] <SkyyVodka> or maybe not
[20:12] <openSUSEkorisnik> I meant KMplayer not Mplayer
[20:12] <SkyyVodka> KMplayer is for Kubuntu
[20:12] <Estragon> Hi, im trying to install ubuntu on a friend's computer, I usually install it through an live usb but it seems that her computer's bios doesnt know how to boot from an usb key
[20:12] <IdleOne> openSUSEkorisnik: sudo apt-get install kmplayer
[20:12] <Estragon> what is the good way to install ubuntu on a such computer ?
[20:12] <openSUSEkorisnik> anychance it can work in opensuse
[20:12] <openSUSEkorisnik> xD
[20:12] <SkyyVodka> Estragon, CD
[20:12] <IdleOne> Estragon: with a CD
[20:13] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: directx is a small and not great part of what Wine is; (also th ename changed, it hasn't been all caps for like 5 years)
[20:13] <Wulfy> Estragon, proberbly cd/dvd or as a last resort maybe pxe
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> openSUSEkorisnik: if you install smplayer in Kubuntu you will have a native equivelant, mplayer is mplayer dude. Why use Windows Mplayer when it is compiled natively for the OS you are using....?

[20:21] <adub> if i have a monitor with a sound plugin it should work i would think
[20:21] <CoinOp> I cannot get to the grub screen to boot, I can get the Live 10.10 cd to boot now. So I'm not sure where to proceed to test the ISO or RAM. I do get an MMIO exception. Should I just do clean install?
[20:21] <Pricey> adub: Are you sure its plugged in?
[20:21] <supertux__> ActionParsnip, if i write that no output
[20:21] <Pricey> adub: You will need to plug in both the VGA cable *and* a 3.5m jack for audio
[20:22] <adub> pricey yes im trying two different speakers now im not sure if my tv card is messing it up or not not sure not even sure if it worked before i  installed the tv card i actually had the tv card inside the computer before installing ubuntu
[20:22] <adub> it acts as if it is working
[20:22] <Pricey> adub: click on the sound icon top right, choose sound preferences, choose the output tab, make sure the correct output is then selected
[20:22] <adub> but no sound output i have a big monitor that has a sound input on it and i have that ran to my sound card i have just tried some external speakers that i had laying around nothing there too

[20:23] <Pricey> adub: also, are you sure you haven't plugged your speakers into your sound card?
[20:23] <adub> these speakers were working last week with this sound card
[20:23] <adub> now for the monitor speakers not sure
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> adub: if you run:  alsamixer    are all levels unmuted and cranked?

[20:24] <adub> actionparsnip yes
[20:24] <ikonia> needhelp1: try running that shell script direct
[20:24] <needhelp1> ikonia, k one sec
[20:24] <adub> does anyone know if an hvr-1600 tv tuner card would make the sound stop working
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> adub: what is the output of:   wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh      say yes to upload to the site and you will get a red hyperlink
[20:25] <Jordan_U> CoinOp: Follow this guide to re-install grub: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[20:25] <CoinOp> Jordan_U: Thank you.
[20:25] <supertux__> CoinOp, i have experience in grub 2 reinstalling
[20:25] <Jordan_U> CoinOp: You're welcome.
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> CoinOp: the ISO is on the system you downloaded it on, When the CD boots and you see the stick man with the keyboard, press SPACE and choose to test the CD for defects, reboot and repeat but choose the RAM test
[20:26] <zkriesse> Question: How do I copy a file from one folder and then move it to another folder via terminal
[20:26] <supertux__> reinstalled many times
[20:26] <supertux__> cp copy mv move
[20:26] <zkriesse> That doesn't really help
[20:26] <llutz> zkriesse: mv /path/file targetfolder/
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> zkriesse: cp file /path/to/location; mv /path/to/location/file /path/to/other/location
[20:27] <IdleOne> zkriesse: cp /file/to/copy /where/to/copy
[20:27] <zkriesse> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[20:27] <adub> actionparsnip its uploading now
[20:27] <Jordan_U> CoinOp: If that fixes GRUB then try booting into Windows a few times. If GRUB fails in the same way after booting Windows then it's probably some application's idiotic DRM.
[20:27] <needhelp1> ikonia, maybe im doing something wrong, im in /usr/bin .. i cant find the firefox directory
[20:27] <adub> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=806863ff491097d6539dbcfcd08c90b9094f0ac0   <--- actionparsnip
[20:28] <ikonia> needhelp1: look at the path in the symlink, it's not the same directory, it's up a level
[20:29] <needhelp1> ikonia, ?
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> adub: use: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/    to get the 1.0.23 version of ALSA
[20:29] <ohsix> Doed_: it's really not; ssh does everything securecrt can do and more, the rest is down to your terminal emulator
[20:29] <ikonia> needhelp1: the symlink (ls -la /usr/bin/firefox) points to a script, run that
[20:30] <ohsix> needhelp1: if firefox is already running, running "firefox" will talk to the running instance
[20:31] <Zoffix_> Hey. Is there a way to configure how long a menu stays open when mouse leaves it? Can't find anything in gnome-control-center and tried googling, but didn't get anything sensible.
[20:31] <c0dewiz> hi i have a problem that really freaks me up... i need to make a bootable usb pen-drive in ubuntu (to install a customers netbook with xp). i tried virtualbox with a windows guest, but it doesnt see the pendrive
[20:31] <Zoffix_> c0dewiz, free virtualbox doesn't have USB support.
[20:32] <c0dewiz> 4.0.0 has
[20:32] <Zoffix_> Oh. Wasn't aware.
[20:32] <c0dewiz> it actually sees my printer, but i cant click on the stick, its grayed out
[20:32] <Zoffix_> Maybe it has to do with permissions on the drive?
[20:32] <c0dewiz> is there maybe even a linux program to make a bootable stick with windows xp on it?
[20:33] <ikonia> c0dewiz: no
[20:33] <c0dewiz> hum.
[20:33] <needhelp1> /lib/firefox-3.6.13/firefox.sh   ikonia
[20:33] <needhelp1> ikonia, but its not there
[20:33] <needhelp1> that i can see
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> c0dewiz: uninstall the ose vbox then use this: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads   shows a repo you can add
[20:33] <llutz> needhelp1: /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13/firefox.sh
[20:33] <ikonia> needhelp1: /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13/firefox.sh
[20:33] <c0dewiz> zoffix, im a littlebit confused, are you talking of the permissions in the /media/ folder where the usb pendrive is actually mounted?
[20:33] <bc81> my gnome main menu is buggy, sometimes hovering over items doesn't open the sub-menu at all..i have to move the mouse away, come back and click for it to open.  what can i do to speed up the menus?  it seems to be a system-wide problem
[20:34] <SkyyVodka> Install more RAM
[20:34] <Doed__> ohsix: ok i have to specify my quest. I am looking for a terminal emul like securcrt
[20:34] <danub> i was in here yesterday and someone was trying to update their server but they had a LTS version and their updates would only update to the newest LTS. Someone said to change a value from 'lts' to 'normal' where is that change supposed to be made? (my system only went to 10.04, not 10.10 and i think this may be the reason)
[20:35] <ohsix> Doed__: on everywhere else than windows they are separate parts
[20:35] <zkriesse> cp /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/MSI-Flex/EasyDPS/SHIPMENTDELIVERIES_PRVN_AGFM0013516.TXT; mv /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/MSI-Flex/EasyDPS/SHIPMENTDELIVERIES_PRVN_AGFM0013516.TXT /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/MSI-Flex/EasyDPS/junk
[20:35] <zkriesse> That's my command
[20:35] <zkriesse> And it's not working
[20:35] <bc81> SkyyVodka: was that comment directed toward me?
[20:35] <SkyyVodka> si
[20:35] <needhelp1> ikonia, jessica@jessica-laptop:/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13$ bash firefox.sh
[20:35] <danub> what about it isn't working zkriesse ?
[20:35] <needhelp1> ikonia, froze terminal
[20:35] <zkriesse> danub: Isn't copying and then moving the file
[20:35] <ikonia> needhelp1: reboot your machine
[20:36] <danub> zkriesse: are you sure the files exist?
[20:36] <bc81> !who | SkyyVodka, i have 2 GiB of RAM, only 427 MiB is being used..so what makes you think it's lack of RAM?
[20:36] <zkriesse> I'm staring at it
[20:36] <drc> danub: Software Sources>Updates
[20:36] <needhelp1> jessica@jessica-laptop:/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13$ bash firefox.sh
[20:36] <needhelp1> /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13/run-mozilla.sh: 399: /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13/firefox.sh: Argument list too long
[20:36] <danub> because that would be the only reason it would fail
[20:36] <danub> drc: terminal. im ssh'd in
[20:36] <SkyyVodka> bc81 no need to bring ubottu into this
[20:37] <llutz> zkriesse: either you copy something or you move it. the first part cp .... ;  is pointless
[20:37] <trism> danub: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades after installing update-manager-core
[20:37] <drc> danub: sorry...didn't see that note in the question
[20:37] <SkyyVodka> get a new GPU
[20:37] <ikonia> needhelp1: reboot your machine
[20:37] <danub> drc, yeah, forgot to mention i was ssh'd
[20:37] <danub> ;)
[20:37] <trism> danub: it's all in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades
[20:37] <needhelp1> ikonia, will do i'll be back in about an hr
[20:38] <ikonia> needhelp1: no problem
[20:38] <SkyyVodka> bc81, how much RAM is on your GPU?
[20:38] <SkyyVodka> 32bit or 64bit?
[20:38] <bc81> SkyyVodka: it's intel integrated GPU on a laptop.  i don't know how much RAm it has.  32bit
[20:38] <Joepie> Q: is it possibleto delete a non empty directory @ once ?
[20:39] <llutz> Joepie: rm -rf dir/
[20:39] <drc> danub: someone else may have the answer, I don't...sorry
[20:39] <Joepie> llutz TY
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> Joepie: you only really need rm -r folder
[20:40] <eross> i deleted my panel #2, how do i get a window 'task list; onto the first panel? You know, the thing we always take for granted by clicking on the bar below to reveal the window
[20:40] <drc> danub: maybe that link trism gave would help...see the bit about upgrading servers (i.e.  edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal)
[20:41] <sinisterstuf> eross, right-click>add to panel> window list
[20:41] <Joepie> ActionParship ty 2
[20:41] <sinisterstuf> eross, description: switch between open windows using buttons (that;s what you want right?)
[20:41] <ohsix> bc81: that sounds weird that you have to move away and back, can you see the harddrive light? does it go solid on for 3+ seconds when you open the menu? and does it do the same thing if you try again quickly after having done it once
[20:41] <eross> dern.. why didn't it work before.  ok thanks
[20:42] <sinisterstuf> eross, you're welcome, anything else?
[20:42] <eross> lottery #s?
[20:42] <virtus> Okay. I'm attempting to extract a file to /usr/share/games/bve -- But, I can't. Even when I run nautilus as sudo, and then open archive manager on the file. It's a 7zip file. And, I can't figure out how to extract this archive to a directory, without either A: Putting all the files into ONE directory. Or, B: Putting it in a directory with the name examplearchive (example, of course)
[20:43] <virtus> Any ideas?
[20:43] <drc> eross: 314159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510
[20:43] <sinisterstuf> eross, 2047
[20:43] <willystylee> Can someone help me? i'm currently installing ubuntu 10.10 on another machine and i got stuck on the 7th step (entering name, pw etc) it shows a cmd line right above the progress bar, and it says "ready when you are" but 'forward' is grey'd out for some reason, and it just sits there with the cmd line showing "ubuntu CRON [9746] : (Root) cmd    (    CD / && run - parts -- report/etc/cron/hourly)
[20:43] <sinisterstuf> eross, if you're bored you can write a bash script to generate random numbers for you ;)
[20:44] <bc81> ohsix: the HDD light is just a blip, whether or not the sub-menu decides to appear.  i'm going to try deleting ~/.config/menus and log out/in.  this just started happening within the last week or so
[20:44] <maco2> willystylee: is the username all lowercase?
[20:44] <pyrophelia> got a problem, I have a file that I can't delete.  the file permissions are set to 777, I own the file, and i'm in the group.  lsattr shows no locks either.  I can move/delete the file as root but I need to be able to move it around as a normal user.  any idea to trace what's preventing me from moving/deleting the file?
[20:44] <willystylee> maco2: no its not... it needs to be?
[20:44] <maco2> willystylee: yes
[20:44] <willystylee> ok
[20:44] <gsp2009> hey folks... anyone have any suggestion on how to make an audio cd from mp3's?
[20:45] <eross> sinisterstuf - not that bored.. really want to write the next great bad graphics amateurish game for ubuntu, but am not feeling the drive and also think it will be for naught
[20:45] <roach> i'm logged in a shell, is there a way to i9nstall tcl without root?
[20:45] <luciash> hi, anybody using firehol as firewall ? i would like to get some hints what am i doing wrong trying to forward some ports
[20:45] <ohsix> bc81: if your computer isn't going nuts when you do it it's not for lack of memory or anything, the moving away rules a lot of stuff out; but unfortunately what's left is bugs and i dunno! D:
[20:45] <maco2> gsp2009: brasero
[20:45] <SkyyVodka> How do I add a new nick to my cloak?
[20:45] <balleyne> is there a way to set umask for a specific directory? just the sticky bit method, or any other options?
[20:45] <maco2> roach: you could compile it for your user only by setting --prefix when you configure the build
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> gsp2009: brasero / gnomebaker / k3b can do that
[20:45] <gsp2009> maco2: didn't know it supported it.. thanks.
[20:45] <guntbert> pyrophelia: where is the file? where do you want to move it to?
[20:45] <virtus> Okay. I'm attempting to extract a file to /usr/share/games/bve -- But, I can't. Even when I run nautilus as sudo, and then open archive manager on the file. It's a 7zip file. And, I can't figure out how to extract this archive to a directory, without either A: Putting all the files into ONE directory. Or, B: Putting it in a directory with the name examplearchive (example, of course)
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> SkyyVodka: i'd ask in #freenode
[20:45] <roach> maco2, i never used linux
[20:45] <roach> could you walk me through it
[20:45] <gsp2009> ActionParsnip. Thanks!
[20:46] <roach> i have the tar file in my $home
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> virtus: use gksudo or kdesu with nautilus, sudo is NOT for gui apps
[20:46] <virtus> ActionParsnip: It still works, does it not?
[20:46] <sinisterstuf> eross, if you have the time and skill it would be really nice if you could contribute to one of the current game projects, I think if there were some really really good games (that also look nice) on ubuntu then windows gamers would have 1 less "bad" thing to say about it
[20:46] <maco2> roach: no because i'm at work, and if you don't have sudo access, you can't install the build dependencies yourself and so would need to compile those and we're talking a several hours project
[20:47] <virtus> That wouldn't solve my problem -- You're just making a point of security. Sudo is for anything, if I remember correctly. I mean, I DID use Gentoo for like, four years.
[20:47] <virtus> Unless Ubuntu has re-written sudo?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> virtus: sudo 7z x filname -0 /usr/share/games/bve
[20:47] <virtus> ActionParsnip: zero? Or, o
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> virtus: sudo is NOT for GUI apps, it doesn't setup the environment correctly
[20:47] <maco2> virtus: i think the issue you hit was that archive manager wasnt also gksudo'd
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> virtus: -o   sorry
[20:48] <ohsix> sinisterstuf: that there are games isn't very useful if the game you want to play isn't on there
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo | virtus
[20:48] <ohsix> sinisterstuf: solitaire is all you need from that perspective, and it's there :D
[20:48] <sinisterstuf> ohsix, do you mean it would be nice if there was cod black ops for linux?
[20:49] <danub> ActionParsnip: just login as root, what could possibly go wrong ;)
[20:49] <virtus> ActionParsnip: Gave me an incorrect command line error
[20:49] <virtus> sudo 7z x NLopen_routes_98.7z -o /usr/share/games/bve
[20:49] <anonboots> I still cant get my Deskjet 1000 to work. I downloaded and installed the latest HPLIP, with no success. What should I do next?
[20:49] <ohsix> virtus: you'd need to be in sudoers and without a password for sudo to work, since it prompts for a password it will exit if the output isn't a terminal; gksudo asks for a password with a gui dialogue
[20:49] <anonboots> .
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> danub: root login is a really bad idea and not advised at all
[20:49] <nimbiotics> what is the channel for open office?
[20:50] <guntbert> nimbiotics: #openoffice.org
[20:50] <danub> ActionParsnip: i know, i was being a smartass :P
[20:50] <eross> i'll go to offtopic, thanks
[20:50] <ohsix> sinisterstuf: lots of things would be nice, but if you can't play what you want it's not even an option
[20:50] <nimbiotics> guntbert: THX!
[20:50] <Wulfy> ActionParsnip,  i miss the good ol day of messing with rh 7 as root.... and killing my system repeatdly
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> virtus: do you have p7zip-rar and p7zip-full installed?
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> danub: i see
[20:51] <sinisterstuf> ohsix, imo Warsow is a failry nice game that runs on Linux and on Windows etc. so you could techinically take a linux box to a lan and play that
[20:51] <danub> Wulfy: we do that at work, on RHEL 5. but thats because they assume no one will break anything and that nothing here is confidential or important... :: shrugs ::
[20:51] <ohsix> you could also try and convince 10 other people to play warsow instead of CoD, it's not about what you can do, but what people want to do
[20:52] <Wulfy> danub,  must fun with regards to acountability
[20:52] <zozipaa> xubuntu 10 для чайников совсем не подходит?  а то я вот чота чайник... никак звука немогу добится... играет только через интегрированую а через usb emu 0202 - никак.. но, цуко, видит её везде...
[20:53] <guntbert> !ru | zozipaa
[20:53] <malik_> hi anyone from an east asian country...
[20:53] <danub> Wulfy: well i have never broke anything so I'm safe. we did have a dev rm -rf /* one of our servers, but it was an accident and he forgot that /* started at / and not /home/user/tmp/*
[20:53] <guntbert> malik_: why do you ask?
[20:53] <danub> i got to take that day off ;)
[20:53] <malik_> cause there seems an error in using east asian languages in Qt apps
[20:54] <guntbert> !bug | malik_
[20:54] <Wulfy> danub, simler to some guy 2 days ago came on soemone had told him to dd his hard drive with 0's nice of them i mmust say thoe i agree i prefair running as root.... getting used to the idea of not now days as i consider myself compertant enought o undo what ever i broke
[20:55] <jrib> Wulfy: the decision not to run as root isn't primarily related to competence
[20:55] <ohsix> ubuntu can use safe-rm as a wrapper; you can blacklist paths, but it's a silly concern
[20:55] <Wulfy> jrib also security yes i agree
[20:56] <Wulfy> jrib,  im not knocking the descion to not allow root users far from it, im sure if users wanted to they could re-eanble root logins without to much headache
[20:56] <danub> Wulfy: yeah, its a bad habit for me too. i just get tired of prefixing sudo to everything I do so I just run as root. and if i break something. i slap myself, cry in a corner for a few hours, then start over
[20:56] <ohsix> privilege you don't need to do something is always too much privilege
[20:56] <ohsix> danub: sudo -s ftw
[20:56] <Raj007> anyone know of a working blocklist for transmission ?
[20:56]  * drc always thought that *nix's root permissions were a bit of Darwinian humor
[20:57] <ohsix> Raj007: does their wiki have any information on it?
[20:57] <danub> ohsix: su ftw ;)
[20:57] <Raj007> ohsix: i didn't check the wiki. Checked some forum posts with no certain answer.
[20:58] <ohsix> having to type your own password is good enough for the transition, unless you have no sudoers
[20:58] <ohsix> Raj007: 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 lists
[20:59] <danub> i 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] <virtus> Ah, that's why.
[20:59] <virtus> Okay. Now that I extracted the files, the permissions are wrong
[20:59] <oxi> what tool can I use to create a complete snapshot/backup of an ext3 filesystem?
[20:59] <virtus> What's permissions for read/write all?
[20:59] <danub> or is there actually some kind of safe guards put in place when sudo is used?
[20:59] <virtus> 777?
[20:59] <llutz> danub: main difference is, su needs root-password, sudo the user-passw
[20:59] <ohsix> sudo lets you pick lists of people and lists of programs that are ok to run; and different ways to make the transition, that's all
[21:00] <oxi> if heard that xattr's and acls, possibly more is not saved using tar
[21:00] <ohsix> oxi: i've been using duplicity recently, works well enough
[21:01] <oxi> ohsix: thanks
[21:01] <jrib> danub: with sudo you can restrict what user's can do and you also get a paper trail
[21:01] <virtus> What's the permissions for read/write all?
[21:01] <virtus> o O
[21:01] <virtus> 777? Or 755?
[21:01] <jrib> !permission | virtus
[21:02] <ybit> how do you keep up with the latest greatest software for ubuntu?
[21:02] <ohsix> apt-get update :]
[21:02] <JetBoyJetGirl> What's the bash command to list all of your programs ? I'm trying to execute a program but unsure of what command to use...
[21:02] <ohsix> but it does it automatically if you install the desktop version
[21:03] <fatninja> Hello to all Ubuntu users
[21:03] <fatninja> need some help
[21:03] <sraue> JetBoyJetGirl press tabulator twice
[21:03] <ybit> fatninja: with what?
[21:03] <x007me> yelp
[21:03] <fatninja> I'm currently using Windows 7 and I've installed it with wubi
[21:03] <JetBoyJetGirl> lol thanks sraue
[21:03] <fatninja> everything was great
[21:04] <fatninja> restarted
[21:04] <fatninja> installed it
[21:04] <jazzyjef> I am trying to create a fake root filesystem and use ath5k modules in the kernel either as loadable module or within the kernel itself
[21:04] <jazzyjef>  when i try to make it as a loadable module, my modules.dep files are missing
[21:04] <jazzyjef>  and now i have just compiled the modules as part of the kernel using make menuconfig, but still my device cant use it, how can i make sure that the ath5k module is part of the kernel
[21:04] <FloodBot3> jazzyjef: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:04] <x007me> where can I find a list of fun servers hehe
[21:04] <fatninja> now
[21:04] <fatninja> everytime
[21:04] <fatninja> after the first restart
[21:04] <JetBoyJetGirl> great thanks again
[21:04] <fatninja> it gives me an error
[21:04] <Jordan_U> !enter | fatninja
[21:04] <fatninja> and gets me into initframs, the error is something like can't mount /dev/sda6
[21:04] <sraue> JetBoyJetGirl no problem :-)
[21:04] <fatninja> Jordan_U , ok.
[21:04] <danub> fatninja, <enter> isn't punctuation.
[21:05] <x007me> or perhaps a list of channels???
[21:05] <fatninja> danub: ok.
[21:05] <danub> lol jordan, didn't know there was a bot command for that ;)
[21:05] <Jordan_U> fatninja: I recommend uninstalling Wubi and instead installing Ubuntu in a standard dual boot configuration.
[21:05] <guntbert> x007me: not here - this is a support channel
[21:05] <ybit> ohsix: is there a way to get a list of the newest updates in apt?
[21:05] <fatninja> Well, why am I having problems with wubi and Windows 7
[21:06] <fatninja> I get a mount error
[21:06] <danub> ybit: you mean like 'sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade'?
[21:06] <ohsix> ybit: well you can try upgrading then kill it to get a list of new programs, but aptitude shows updated packages easier in a category view
[21:06] <ybit> i mean, i want a list of the updates to software in the repos
[21:06] <fatninja> The thing is that it has like two boot managers, first one I choose Windows 7 and Ubuntu 2nd one Ubunt 2.6.35....etc / Ubuntu ... Recovery and Windows 7 bootloader
[21:06] <_graham_> Hey - I don't suppose anyone knows any reason why PHP on Apache doesn't work in my userdir? It's *not* the fix to remove "php-admin-value engine Off" from /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf either as that doesn't make a bit of difference :(
[21:06] <ybit> i don't want to upgrade myself
[21:07] <Pici> _graham_: Does www-data have permission to execute your php scripts in those paths?
[21:07] <_graham_> Pici: To *execute* them? Not just read them?
[21:08] <Jordan_U> fatninja: Because unfortunately, through no person's fault, Wubi isn't particularly well maintained at the moment.
[21:08] <_graham_> I've never given execute permissions to a php script before, and they are globally readable
[21:08] <Pici> _graham_: sorry, read. Brain confusion there ;)
[21:08] <llutz> _graham_: no need for execution-bit
[21:09] <ohsix> does wubi need to be "maintained"? it just has / on ntfs-3g and the kernel on ntfs
[21:09] <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 apache
[21:09] <fatninja> Jordan_U and is there any solution ?
[21:09] <inckie> im 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 mode
[21:09] <fatninja> I'm sure there is.
[21:10] <_graham_> www-data user can def read the scripts - just confirmed that...
[21:10] <ohsix> fatninja: 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 though
[21:10] <_graham_> Apache was offering the file as a download, so I was fairly certain that was the case anyway
[21:11] <Jordan_U> ohsix: 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] <ohsix> fatninja: all your files should still be on your harddrive, you could just reinstall it as well; or access files you lost access to
[21:11] <fatninja> ohsix: thanks for the response, but I will install a fresh copy of it via DVD
[21:11] <fatninja> the thing is that
[21:11] <fatninja> I want to put it in a ntfs partition
[21:11] <fatninja> is that possible ?
[21:11] <danub> _graham_: ok, so we know it has access to it. now, what is the extension of the script? php? php3? html? htm? what?
[21:11] <ohsix> Jordan_U: ah; that would be the windows side of things then, thanks for the tip
[21:11] <Jordan_U> ohsix: You're welcome.
[21:12] <_graham_> index.php is the file in question for now
[21:12] <_graham_> Just straight "php" extension
[21:12] <ohsix> Jordan_U: you could brute force it and add labels for everything in the menu entry for it in grub though :D
[21:12] <danub> fatninja: 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] <fatninja> danub: I realized that was a dumb question afterwards
[21:13] <fatninja> thanks
[21:13] <ohsix> you _can_ put it on there; but its silly and would be nothing but trouble for your effort
[21:13] <Jordan_U> ohsix: I can think of ways that it could be solved cleanly, and I probably should take the time to fix it myself but I don't personally use windows and I'm not particularly motivated :(
[21:13] <danub> _graham_: and .php is listed in the php config?
[21:14] <ohsix> Jordan_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 install
[21:14] <_graham_> I thought so, but badly it seems.....
[21:15] <_graham_> <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$"> is what it said before
[21:15] <_graham_> <FilesMatch "\.php$"> is what it says now, and it all works :)
[21:15] <danub> if 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 intrepret
[21:15] <Jordan_U> ohsix: Making an ugly hack like that would likely not take any less time / effort than doing it properly.
[21:15] <danub> _graham_: so your up and running now?
[21:15] <_graham_> Yes - thanks :)
[21:16] <ohsix> hrm dunno about ugly; you can't reliably get the info on one side, but you can bridge to the other side where you can; it'd all be in one menu entry in the grub menu & not user visible
[21:16] <craigbass1976> I'm looking for a crm that is not sugar or vtiger.  I just installed obm, wondering if there's something else.
[21:16] <ohsix> hm nevermind that though, wubi uses window's bootloader doesn't it?
[21:17] <danub> craigbass1976: depends on the backend DB you want to use
[21:17] <fatninja> well
[21:17] <fatninja> the first starts the windows boot loader
[21:17] <craigbass1976> danub, I'd rather mysql
[21:17] <fatninja> that goes to
[21:17] <fatninja> BCD ID: {c3319261-3911-11e0-94c4-001e8c7df38d}
[21:17] <fatninja> Drive: E:\
[21:17] <fatninja> Bootloader Path: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr
[21:17] <FloodBot3> fatninja: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:17] <Jordan_U> ohsix: It loads grub via the windows bootloader. If you'd like to put in the time to get this working properly I'd love to help out.
[21:17] <fatninja> Jordan_U I'd like that.
[21:18] <danub> craigbass1976: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems
[21:18] <fatninja> Jordan_U only if that is not a problem for you.
[21:18] <craigbass1976> danub, I thought crm was contact management type apps
[21:18] <Jordan_U> fatninja: Not at all.
[21:19] <danub> ohh, crm
[21:19] <danub> thought you said cms
[21:19] <fatninja> Jordan_U , how do I start ?
[21:19] <Jordan_U> fatninja: We should probably move this discussion to #ubuntu-devel.
[21:19] <ohsix> shrug, if it chainloads grub then it doesn't matter how ugly it is :D
[21:19] <danub> , lol ignore me. im a dumbass and got nothing for you on crm.
[21:20] <Klipox> Hi.. i have a problem with my swap partition not mounting at boot. http://pastebin.com/3VzjCBiq
[21:20] <craigbass1976> danub, no problem; there are too many acronyms in the world I think
[21:21] <ohsix> Klipox: you might have hit a bug with swap images, and had your swap guid change
[21:21] <ohsix> Klipox: you can get the original guid from /etc/fstab and mkswap -U <uuid> can assign it back
[21:22] <ohsix> this is the best way to fix it; as the guid is stored for hibernation in another file, and if it changes it breaks that as well
[21:22] <Klipox> ohsix: Oh ok. So how do i get the new UUID from the swap?
[21:23] <Klipox> ohsix: Or shall i write the same as in fstab?
[21:23] <ohsix> blkid can show all the uuid's, you can compare them against /etc/fstab
[21:23] <ohsix> no, update the swap with the guid, not the other way around
[21:23] <Joepie> Q: is there a way to bypass tap0 and "route" it to eth0 for sabnzbdplus ?
[21:23] <afrodeity> is there any reason pbuilder is not showing up in the repos?
[21:24] <Klipox> ohsix: Ok. Thanks alot :)
[21:24] <ohsix> no problem :} it'd be nice if it'd do it automatially, as like i said; it breaks suspend, but alas it doesn't
[21:24] <danub> has anyone had any experience growing a ubuntu disk running in vmware?
[21:25] <KB1JWQ> danub: Sure, but it's easier if you're using LVM. :-)
[21:25] <ohsix> shrizzug
[21:25] <danub> KB1JWQ: what do you mean? what lvm?
[21:25] <ohsix> probably helps more if you have an fs you can grow
[21:26] <karabaja4> someone write my name please :)
[21:26] <KB1JWQ> ohsix: Yeah, growfs is nice.
[21:26] <mickster04> karabaja4:
[21:26] <Pici> afrodeity: It should be there.
[21:26] <Rico> sosaited: ?
[21:26] <ohsix> pantomiming detected
[21:26] <Pici> !info pbuilder | afrodeity
[21:26] <Rico> sosaited: *
[21:26] <danub> well i have an ext3 fs for it, and I know i have done it once in the past, but that was back when it was at 8.04
[21:27] <Grishnackh666> hi there
[21:27] <afrodeity> Pici: sudo apt-get install pbuilder  returns "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "pbuilder""
[21:27] <afrodeity> Pici: its supposed to be in main
[21:27] <LittleJakub> how does THIS work? :P
[21:28] <Pici> afrodeity: Does apt-cache policy pbuilder  work?
[21:28] <danub> bumped 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 space
[21:28] <Grishnackh666> when 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] <afrodeity> Pici: N: Unable to locate package pbuilder
[21:28] <Pici> afrodeity: What architecture are you on?
[21:28] <afrodeity> 10:10
[21:28] <calum> Would running Ubuntu as a web server in a DMZ be a bad idea, in terms of network exploits?
[21:29] <Pici> afrodeity: What does uname -m  report?
[21:29] <ohsix> danub: resize2fs
[21:29] <danub> calum, running any webserver in the dmz has potential to be exploited (even not dmz'd)
[21:29] <Klipox> ohsix: When i run mkswap -U 1012e79e-ca93-47f5-914f-4094d55b3c62 i get "mkswap: error: Nowhere to set up swap on?"
[21:29] <afrodeity> Pici: i686
[21:29] <ohsix> but there's also the commandline version of parted; or the gui version, just runs the stuff for you
[21:30] <ohsix> Klipox: you need to specify the swap partition as well
[21:30] <Pici> afrodeity: hmm...
[21:30] <calum> danub: So if I keep up patches and run a firewall to block all ports except 80, that will help?
[21:30] <IdleOne> Pici: I got a feeling he still has CD as source. might not be on the CD
[21:30] <gr8Q> Since few days i get afc: error control file when i connect a iphone what should i do
[21:30] <anonboots> I still cant get my Deskjet 1000 to work. I downloaded and installed the latest HPLIP, with no success. What should I do next?
[21:30] <calum> I'm just wondering if gufw will do the trick
[21:30] <danub> if you just keep it patched you should be fine
[21:30] <ohsix> calum: if you block all but 80 how will you administer it
[21:30] <ohsix> calum: just stop services you aren't using
[21:31] <Klipox> ohsix: Oh, Right :P
[21:31] <calum> Don't I only need 80 open for the server?
[21:31] <triptec> what is the prefered ftpd?
[21:31] <triptec> pro or vs?
[21:31] <Pici> IdleOne: Thats entirely possible.
[21:31] <afrodeity> IdleOne: will check, thnks
[21:31] <Jare_> yup, if you want only http access
[21:31] <Pici> IdleOne: Good thinking :)
[21:31] <IdleOne> I have my moments :)
[21:31] <calum> thats the only public internet service I want to run
[21:32] <danub> the 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 server
[21:32] <afrodeity> IdleOne: Its listed, but not checked, so don't think so
[21:32] <IdleOne> afrodeity: sudo apt-get update & apt-cache search pbuilder
[21:32] <IdleOne> if it isn't there there is something very not right with your repos
[21:33] <calum> so that wouldn't stop a botnet with traffic headed for port 80?
[21:33] <ohsix> you should just not run services you aren't using
[21:33] <danub> calum: is this a personal site? or company site?
[21:33] <Jare> calum: you might also be interested having shell/nx access (ssh 22) and https (443)
[21:33] <calum> I intend to only open 1 port and run http only
[21:34] <calum> personal server
[21:34] <danub> then you shouldn't have to worry about botnets unless you piss off someone you shouldn't have
[21:34] <ohsix> you probably have more to worry about from scripts running on the web server than anything else by an order of magnitude
[21:34] <calum> I do intend to run a cgi script on the server
[21:35] <danub> calum: just make sure your system stays patched and your fine
[21:35] <ohsix> my fine!
[21:35] <calum> I am sure I have the latest updates for the moment
[21:35] <calum> but I will keep checking
[21:35] <danub> then you should be good
[21:35] <danub> calum, just put the updating in root's cron
[21:36] <calum> thanks for your advice danub
[21:36] <danub> have it run every day at 00
[21:36] <ohsix> that's a bad idea
[21:36] <danub> ohsix: y?
[21:36] <ohsix> because you don't want everything just applied; theres a script for servers that do updates intelligently
[21:37] <ohsix> forget the name of it, b ut it's pulled in when you install ubuntu-server
[21:37] <Jare> calum: 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/ips
[21:37] <abusaif> hi every body
[21:37] <calum> are updates for Apache applied through Ubuntu's updater as usual?
[21:37] <mickster04> calum: if you didn't just download a .deb, yes
[21:37] <stephans> does 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] <ohsix> snort is kind of unmaintained, seriously, the biggest problem you can have is the scripts running on the server
[21:38] <calum> I got Apache from the repositories
[21:38] <ohsix> stephans: how did you measure the "leak"?
[21:38] <mickster04> calum: then as the repo's get updated, so will you
[21:38] <danub> calum: then it will update with the system updates
[21:38] <calum> ok thanks
[21:38] <abusaif> i lose the panel and  i need to fix it ,can any body help me
[21:38] <stephans> ohsix, by watching it in top for instance
[21:39] <ohsix> stephans: 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 leak
[21:39] <abusaif> ????
[21:39] <stephans> it keeps growing endlessly
[21:39] <IdleOne> !resetpanel | abusaif
[21:39] <calum> cheers all for help
[21:39] <ohsix> stephans: well there is an end :] try looking how much memory it's actually using with smem
[21:39] <eross> i 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 icon
[21:39] <stephans> ohsix, ok I will... but it does reach the point where the computer is unusable
[21:40] <IdleOne> afrodeity: any success?
[21:40] <abusaif> thanks
[21:40] <IdleOne> abusaif: welcome
[21:40] <ohsix> stephans: suffice it to say the VM size is a useless number, it's really only something useful to track large and quick changes, it doesn't convey any actual information about memory use
[21:40] <TerribleTech> anyone run their own Ubuntu Server?
[21:41] <Jordan_U> !anyone | TerribleTech
[21:41] <eross> i did in 8.04, now it seems it has grown more difficult
[21:41] <mickster04> TerribleTech: yes
[21:42] <ohsix> stephans: nm-applet is using 4.7 megs here, bur top says 287m virt, it's a big gap
[21:42] <TerribleTech> thanks ubottu and mickster04 for your reply. I am only curious what you use your servers for.
[21:42] <abusaif> its give this message ?? no process found
[21:42] <EmuAlert> How do you delete files so that they DON'T go into the .Trash-1000 folder on a removable drive?
[21:43] <stephans> ohsix, OK... I have smem now... will check
[21:43] <mickster04> TerribleTech: i did, i don't anymore, don't have router access, port forwarding would be needed, anyway, this is off topic really
[21:43] <mickster04> EmuAlert: shift-del?
[21:43] <ohsix> stephans: free -m will show you how much swap is in use; if its becoming unusuable after a while and swap is full, it's probably something other than this
[21:44] <adub> my /dev/video0 just suddenly disappeared after installing lastest also drivers
[21:44] <TerribleTech> mickster04 what did you use it for? I'm considering setting up an web server, just for development.
[21:44] <EmuAlert> mickster04: Thanks
[21:44] <stephans> ohsix, got it
[21:44] <adub> why would /dev/video0 just suddenly disappear??
[21:45] <djoe> hello
[21:45] <abusaif> i try the code  the code to get the panel but it give this message no process found
[21:45] <ohsix> stephans: if it _is_ swapping, iotop will tell you the programs that are being paged in/out
[21:45] <otay> How to I install a local .deb file so the dependencies will be resolved for me?
[21:45] <pep`> hi
[21:45] <djoe> im djoe from algeria
[21:45] <mickster04> TerribleTech: lamp, email, ssh, uhm i had ottd server running on it, samba....
[21:46] <Joepie> Q: how to restart interfaces ?
[21:46] <joewefwef> whats the n00b channel?
[21:46] <stephans> ohsix, iotop? Ok I will have to look for that one! sounds usefull...
[21:46] <Linfert> *join ubuntu-fr
[21:46] <mickster04> joewefwef: this is the noob channel :D
[21:46] <mickster04> djoe: welcome
[21:47] <joewefwef> whayy
[21:47] <TerribleTech> mickster04: This won't be online or public. It will be an internal test server
[21:47] <pep`> does anyone know of a program or script (maybe using dia?) that can generate a process diagram/flowchart from C source code?
[21:47] <ohsix> stephans: it could be that you just don't have enough memory for your average working set though; if that's the case you'll need more, or find a way to weed out stuff you don't really need
[21:47] <mickster04> TerribleTech: ok
[21:47] <ohsix> smem will show you the largest memory consumers too
[21:47] <guampa> pep`: doxygen
[21:47] <djoe> @ mickster : thank u
[21:47] <pep`> doxygen.... I will check it out
[21:48] <guampa> also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3150900/is-there-any-free-c-c-code-to-flowchart-generator-tool-available-on-the-net
[21:48] <TerribleTech> mickster04: lamp and ssh sounds the way to go. of course ftp might help.
[21:48] <guampa> and related q's
[21:48] <mickster04> TerribleTech: if you set up ssh and then use sftp it's the one and same really :p
[21:48] <mickster04> !pm | djoe
[21:48] <otay> ahh.. I have to do a two-step process to auto install local debs.. hmm
[21:48] <TerribleTech> mickster04: thanks for the advice
[21:49] <djoe> ;-)
[21:49] <mickster04> TerribleTech: very good
[21:49] <pep`> thx guampa
[21:49] <guampa> np
[21:49] <alpha7> ubuntu 64 bits vs 32bits any differences?
[21:50] <Logan_WP> !amd64 | alpha7
[21:50] <stephans> ohsix, nm-applet --sm-disable             0   713772   714402   724244
[21:50] <GBGames> I'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] <alpha7> So of my drivers are not working with 64 bits ubuntu
[21:51] <ohsix> alpha7: lots of differences, practical differences are silly stuff like flash in the browser
[21:51] <stephans> ohsix, seems a little over the top to me
[21:51] <stephans> ohsix, no pun intended
[21:51] <joewefwef> 32bit drivers seem easier to get hold of
[21:51] <joewefwef> how much ram can 32bit ubuntu address?
[21:51] <ohsix> stephans: nice, so it is really going nuts, do you have wifi & is it constantly trying to connect? or vpn or any other "interesting" connection types
[21:51] <eross> joewefwef - 2Gb ?
[21:51] <alpha7> Is it possible I have 64 ubuntu and running 32 bit firefox or software or drivers?
[21:52] <mickster04> alpha7: yes
[21:52] <ohsix> alpha7: not drivers, a driver that works on 32bit but not 64bit is weird; is it a proprietary driver?
[21:52] <Jordan_U> joewefwef: 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] <alpha7> It's for printer.
[21:53] <alpha7> and I always get werid bugs on firefox
[21:53] <Raj007> My Brother's 32-bit driver are working fine on 64-bit ubunty
[21:53] <Raj007> Brother as in printer
[21:53] <alpha7> esp. it show this black bar when i highligh links
[21:53] <stephans> ohsix, well I do have wifi... on a lenovo T400... I usually have Hide My Ass (HMA)running bu not now...
[21:53] <stephans> HMA is an anon, vpn solution
[21:54] <ohsix> ah
[21:54] <ohsix> well, try disabling things one by one and finding out which part does it
[21:54] <alpha7> Is there a command to flush out every settings and programs and start out fresh/
[21:54] <ohsix> you can kill nm-applet fine, it'll restart
[21:54] <aeon-ltd> alpha7: heh reinstall?
[21:54] <MC8> lol

[21:54] <stephans> ohsix, HMA uses the Open VPN even under windows and mac...
[21:55] <ohsix> alpha7: start out as a user account or the entire install? it's easy to do either but why
[21:55] <bp0> is computer janitor completely useless or just mostly useless?
[21:55] <stephans> ohsix, would continuous connect attempts mess up nm-applet?
[21:55] <alpha7> ohsix there this weird program doesn't exit properly when i restart
[21:55] <ohsix> stephans: well, i didn't mean hma in particular; i mean like disable wifi scanning if you're not using wifi, disable other connection types and see if it goes away
[21:56] <alpha7> it always bugs me when it ask me to kill task or ignore or restart now
[21:56] <ohsix> stephans: anything that's done over and over could magnify a small leak
[21:56] <alpha7> something like that
[21:56] <ohsix> alpha7: what program?
[21:56] <ruffleS> I'm getting this error @ every boot: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35.22-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory on ubuntu 10.10. anyone?!
[21:56] <Hellsnake_> ??
[21:56] <alpha7> Doesn't say I'm going create new account.
[21:58] <alpha7> Is bleachbit is good for removing unused programs or files
[21:58] <stephans> ohsix, OK i will sleuth around and see... i have installed several items... even some KDE stuff, mybe that would include net software conflicting. Also I installed a Bank ID app for smart cards and tried to force it to work in my 64 bit ubuntu even if only 32 bit was supported... I had to replace some crypto libs.. which may ofcourse be in use by wifi...
[21:59] <ohsix> alpha7: it's probably better to figure out how to clean up things yourself before you let some program do it
[21:59] <alpha7> it says 'A program is still running
[22:00] <alpha7> and program name is Unknown ' Not responding
[22:00] <scampbell> given upstart on maverick, I have the two packages 'postgresql-server' and 'libvirt-bin' installed by apt-get.  Postgresql has been configured to listen on the virtual network configured by libvirt-bin, however, postgresql is getting started before the network is up.  postgresql is an init script and libvirt is a upstart  file.  How could I fix my problem?
[22:00] <ohsix> does it do that after you've already closed everything?
[22:00] <ohsix> if yes, close everything but a terminal and check out the output of xlsclients
[22:03] <Difesa> Hi, Im trying to install ubuntu 10,10 (i386 live cd and amd64 text based) on a mid '09 macbook, I've attempted to follow the instructions in the official ubuntu documentation and various other resources (http://tiny.cc/ijokl, http://tiny.cc/3m4b3, http://tiny.cc/cp9ug).  Each time i pass the grub screen, regardless, it seems, of what i do, i almost immediately black screen.   Does anyone have any advice?
[22:04] <fruitwerks> Call to undefined function pg_connect(), but I have php5-pgsql installed and I see it in phpinfo?
[22:05] <scampbell> fruitwerks: I would guess the #php could solve that in short order.
[22:05] <UberGoober> hi, could someone direct me to power settings (hibernate, etc) in Xubuntu? Linux noob here
[22:06] <Guest88261> Hi. How can I set double click for left down corner of synaptics touchpad?
[22:06] <scampbell> ubergoober:  system -> preferences -> power settings
[22:06] <maedox> Difesa: 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.
[22:07] <scampbell> ,er  system -> preferecnes -> power management
[22:07] <UberGoober> scampbell: no Preferences under System
[22:07] <Jordan_U> Difesa: 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.
[22:08] <Jordan_U> Difesa: Ubuntu's installer does the right thing if you use automatic partitioning.
[22:08] <KjetilK> my default kernel isn't booted even after a delay, and I really don't understand the grub2 config. This used to be so easy, how do I do this in grub2?
[22:08] <StrangeCharm> seahorse became unresponsive, and i ended the process. now it doesn't show any private or public keys. gpg --list-private-keys returns my private keys, but --list-public-keys lists nothing. what might have gone wrong, and how can i fix it?
[22:09] <Difesa> Jordan_U:  in attempting to just boot the LiveCD and try ubuntu i get black screen.  Maedox: Will try, thanks
[22:10] <adamruffolo> Don't know if I'm in the right place.  I'm trying to register my nickname with #backtrack-linux but seem to be failing miserably.  Any help?  I can't seem to find a direct answer on the net
[22:10] <mevvis> Difesa, its imposible push ESC and use boot options?
[22:10] <UberGoober> scampbell: found it, under Applications/Settings/Xfce4 Settings Manager - thanks
[22:11] <scampbell> UberGoober: If you choose to run XFCE (that's fine). Do tell folks when you ask.  We will usually assume you are running the default gnome.   You'll probably get better answers :)
[22:12] <tomreyn> adamruffolo: that's obviously offtopic here. ask in #freenode
[22:12] <canthus13> Anyone know how to get wicd to show up in the notification area in gnome?
[22:12] <Difesa> mevvis: I haven't tried that, what would i look for n that menu?
[22:12] <UberGoober> I said "Xubuntu," Xfce is default, no?
[22:12] <canthus13> UberGoober: yup.

[22:16] <diphthong> you know how Ubuntu hides the boot up messages?  I want to see them!  how do i do that?
[22:16] <maco2> diphthong: hit ctrl+alt+f1
[22:16] <seidos> diphthong: i don't recall.  i have done it before.  there was info in the forums/on the web
[22:17] <bastidrazor> diphthong: in /etc/default/grub remove the "quiet splash"  then sudo update-grub

[22:27] <Jeruvy> KnifeySpooney: did you check the user profile cache?
[22:27] <ciss> hi, i have some directory names containing umlauts that somehow got messed up while they were being edited on osx. i cannot access the folders by typing the names directly, instead i have to use the ascii representation and tab complete.
[22:27] <ciss> is there a tool or way to fix this?
[22:28] <KnifeySpooney> Jeruvy, where exactly is that? I scanned over the ~/.adobe and ~/.macromedia folders but wasn't sure where to look
[22:28] <ciss> bash locate settings are UTF-8
[22:28] <ciss> sorry, "locale"
[22:28] <Jeruvy> KnifeySpooney: in .mozilla,
[22:28] <wildbat> ciss: just rename them~
[22:28] <Eighteens> hello, thank yor considering my question. I had 10.10 running on my machine, from a prior upgrade from 10.04, then 10.41, however i got the urge to install natty (11.04), the problem is when it rebooted after install, all i was left with is a bouncy box on my screen stating "Monitor out of sync" --While i can't see the boot menu, i have the option to use my finger, and move the down arrow and guess on the fact it might land on my win
[22:29] <talineo> hi, I try and solve a problem on a machine recently upgraded to lucid lynx. the problem is the same as described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8761758 . I have read it should be due to kernel < 2.6.32 but the kernel version in grub seems correct
[22:29] <talineo> any ideas
[22:29] <talineo> ?
[22:29] <Jeruvy> !natty | Eighteens
[22:30] <KnifeySpooney> Jeruvy, thanks, I found it now. I guess Chromium saves the videos in its cache folder instead.
[22:30] <Eighteens> is there any way to go back to 10.10 without loosing my /home/user and all it's files
[22:30] <ciss> wildbat: thanks, i'll try that
[22:30] <Jeruvy> Eighteens: just back up your home dir and reinstall.
[22:31] <kerneltrouble> Hello. Whenever I boot my computer, I get an error like "fatal: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.xx-xx-generic/modules.dep" in which xx are kernel numbers. I have Googled, and the problem was reported on the forums, but there was no known (usable) solution. Can anybody here help me fix it, please? :)
[22:31] <EXio4> hi
[22:31] <Eighteens> thanks Jeruvy, i'll give that a try
[22:31] <lcb> hi. someone pls suggest me what to do with this error while compiling a 'package requires Sys::Mmap for mapped memory'
[22:31] <joelmob> how do i create a new user in ubuntu from terminal
[22:31] <bastidrazor> joelmob: sudo adduser newusername
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> !adduser
[22:32] <EXio4> hi, a "rm -rf" is a joke, licuadocorazon know me :)
[22:32] <Jeruvy> lcb that sounds like a perl module try googling for that exactly and it should point you
[22:32] <licuadocorazon> yes, is true, is a joke
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> Eighteens: your backups will make it a lot easier
[22:32] <EXio4> juabn1: hi!
[22:33] <juabn1> hi exio4
[22:33] <functor> got latest ubuntu for two netbooks, on acer aspire it freezes randomly, on eeepc the wifi randomly restarts and doesnt show correct signal
[22:33] <Percius> Anyone know how to disable a USB device in ubuntu
[22:33] <lcb> Jeruvy«  thanks. i know.. i'm googling and i see different approaches. i'm using natty and probably this is an ongoing test issue.
[22:33] <EXio4> leanfaust: hey, run rm.. XD
[22:33] <functor> xp works fine on both
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> functor: test the ram on the acer
[22:33] <functor> xp works fine on both <
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> functor: which model eeepc?
[22:34] <leanfaust> debian is the best
[22:34] <EXio4> yeah!
[22:34] <Percius> If my bluetooth (internal usb) is enabled I cannot connect to wifi, If I disable bluetooth in Bios I can... The problem is that I run multiple OSes and dont want to disable bluetooth in bios
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> leanfaust: maybe, but debian is offtopic here
[22:34] <leanfaust> only ubuntu in conversation?
[22:34] <lcb> leanfaust«  a bit outdated :o
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> leanfaust: yes, this is ubuntu support only
[22:34] <ecinx3> hello. I've restarted my computer and now I don't have any taskbar, and don't know how to get to the terminal either
[22:35] <Jordan_U> !ot | leanfaust
[22:35] <EXio4> ActionParsnip: you kick me? is only a joke a "rm -**" :)
[22:35] <leanfaust> ok thanks
[22:35] <EXio4> ActionParsnip: he know me :)
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> EXio4: i dont have kick powers
[22:35] <Percius> ecinx3: Try ctrl f1 to get a terminal
[22:35] <EXio4> ActionParsnip: ok, :(
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> ecinx3: CTRL+ATL+T
[22:35] <ecinx3> doesn't work, neither does alt f2
[22:35] <functor> ActionParsnip: same thing happened with previous acer aspire - the eeepc is 901
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> ecinx3: or try CTRL+ALT+F1
[22:35] <Wulfy> ActionParsnip,  to be fair with the ubotto line ubuntu related debian could be considerd "related" :)
[22:35] <ecinx3> Ctrl alt t worked, thanks
[22:35] <leanfaust> how i can create distribution  ubuntu based?
[22:36] <LordVorp> is there a keypress that will let me run an arbitrary command, in Unity?
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> ecinx3: sweet, kill gnome-panel and it should restart
[22:36] <Jordan_U> EXio4: Just because he knows better doesn't mean that some other unhappy soul won't try it just to see what it does.
[22:36] <StrangeCharm> seahorse became unresponsive, and i ended the process. now it doesn't show any private or public keys. gpg --list-private-keys returns my private keys, but --list-public-keys lists nothing. what might have gone wrong, and how can i fix it?
[22:36] <functor> ActionParsnip: Is the correct wifi modules in the latest ubuntu for EeePC 901?
[22:36] <Eighteens> I tried booting my 10.10 cd, and it got to the spot where you can choose f6 for other modes, and usually i have to choose, nolapic, noapic, and nomodeset. So i chose those options like usual, then a few seconds had elapsed, now i get a black screen saying "no live file systems found" or something to that affect.
[22:36] <ecinx3> how do i do that?
[22:36] <ecinx3> I don't think i'm on gnome, btw
[22:36] <EXio4> Jordan_U: ok, :)
[22:37] <sharav> Hi all
[22:37] <Difesa> I have been trying to install 10,10 on a mid 09' macbook.  I read somewhere that enabling the 195 drivers will enable my nvidia gf9400m card (fixing an ongoing blackscreen issue ive been having.  How do i enable those drivers?
[22:37] <ecinx3> looks like gnome though
[22:37] <sharav> Java 3d application crashed. How to solve?
[22:37] <kerneltrouble> is it normal lately for kernel related errors to show up at boot times (for example something like kernel 2.6.35-24: file doesn't exist or not found)
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> functor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks    references the wifi in the eeepc
[22:37] <EXio4> ikonia: please avise a "kick" knew a this "law" :)
[22:38] <ikonia> EXio4: what ?
[22:38] <sharav> my gpu is AMD radeon 6370
[22:38] <EXio4> not knew*
[22:38] <CoinOp> Jordan_U: That link you sent me did the trick, Grub is back up and running, both Ubuntu and Windows are booting perfectly. Thank you for all of your help. Awesome of you.
[22:38] <Wulfy> whats the blackberry support like in ubuntu btw?
[22:38] <korovamilk> hello
[22:38] <ikonia> Wulfy: terrible
[22:38] <EXio4> ikonia: my english is poor, sorry :)
[22:38] <Jordan_U> CoinOp: You're welcome.
[22:38] <leanfaust>  is bad english XD
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> kerneltrouble: websearch for the exact error and you may find bugs
[22:38] <Wulfy> ikonia,  rats
[22:38] <EXio4> bad? very bad :P
[22:38] <sharav> Has anyone meet java 3d issue?
[22:38] <functor> ActionParsnip: The other thing I am having trouble with is Bluetooth not working properly with stuff like tethered 3g
[22:38] <ikonia> EXio4: stop making random comments please
[22:39] <EXio4> ikonia: ok :(
[22:39] <functor> On the 901
[22:39] <kerneltrouble> ActionParsnip: I Googled and found bug reports, but no solution...
[22:39] <Percius> Anyone here know how to completely disable a USB device in linux? Blacklisting the modules doesn't seem to fix it
[22:39] <ecinx3> so how do i restart unity or w/e is supposed to be running
[22:39] <thauriswulfa> QUESTION: anyone know any package to open djvu files? tried document viewer but not working
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> kerneltrouble: then keep an eye on the bug, see if it gets resolved
[22:40] <iceroot_> thauriswulfa: sudo apt-cache search djvu is listening some tools
[22:40] <korovamilk> just wondering what irc client is using people around.. i'm actually using kvirc because i'm switching from a kde environment... what about a good gnome based irc client?
[22:41] <korovamilk> (running ubuntu 10.10 btw)
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> korovamilk: i use pidgin personally
[22:41] <iceroot_> thauriswulfa: e.g. djview3 and djview4
[22:41] <functor> ActionParsnip: Seems to be resolved in 10.04 - but I still cant see my signal - unless there is something wrong with whatever gnome is using to display (its always 100%)
[22:41] <iceroot_> korovamilk: xchat is imo the best gui client
[22:41] <thauriswulfa> iceroot_:but software centre says dependencies not met
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> functor: could try using wicd or wifi-radar
[22:42] <Wulfy> i would love to have a word with the guy who told me to use mutt's email client as apprently its feature rich and comparible to Outlook
[22:42] <korovamilk> ActionParsnip: does pidgin works with dcc file transfers?
[22:42] <EXio4> good bye
[22:42] <EXio4> :)
[22:42] <iceroot_> Wulfy: every mail-client sucks, this one just sucks less
[22:42] <kerneltrouble> ActionParsnip: ah, shoot.. I plan on keeping my eye on those threads, just thought there might be some kind of unofficial fix or something. Thanks though :)
[22:43] <iceroot_> thauriswulfa: evince is also listed
[22:43] <ecinx3> How do I get the taskbar back?
[22:43] <korovamilk> iceroot: i'll give xchat another chance ;)
[22:43] <Chelsea__> Hi all, I've been meaning to ask, everytime I start conky (default values, ugly black screen) in Xmonad, cpu-usage goes to 100%. Seen it in Ubuntu 10.4, Debian 5.0 stable, Virtualboxed Ubuntu 10.10.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> !panel | ecinx3
[22:43] <raisin123> hello. Can anyone tell me how to install KDE desktop environment. I have 10.04 LTS with GNOME. I want GNOME and KDE both.
[22:43] <Chelsea__> Am I the only one?
[22:43] <Wulfy> iceroot_,  shame trade descriptions dont apply to the description i was given for mutts
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> !fixpanel
[22:44] <SuperPaco69> how can I know if my processor is SSE2??
[22:44] <mickster04> raisin123: sudo apt-get install kde-desktop   ?
[22:44] <iceroot_> SuperPaco69: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:44] <ecinx3> raisin look for kubuntu desktop in synaptic
[22:44] <ecinx3> raisin123:
[22:44] <iceroot_> raisin123: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[22:44] <ecinx3> !panel
[22:44] <raisin123> mickster04: Is it that simple? are you sure?
[22:44] <leanfaust> is better  install xubuntu
[22:45] <mickster04> raisin123: use synaptics to search for it
[22:45] <functor> ActionParsnip: seems Acer Aspire One 110 and a newer EeePC is known for freezes
[22:45] <raisin123> Will it ask me on login screen, which desktop to use?
[22:45] <mickster04> raisin123: just to be safe
[22:45] <leanfaust> *kubuntu
[22:45] <mickster04> raisin123: yeah
[22:45] <iceroot_> Wulfy: if you are searching for a mailclient with groupware-features i think kmail/kontact is worth a try
[22:45] <raisin123> mickster: how to search on synaptics?
[22:45] <leanfaust> download the cd of kubuntu and install
[22:45] <ecinx3> raisin123: kubuntu desktop
[22:45] <SuperPaco69> iceroot_, thanks a lot!!!!
[22:45] <CaptainLexington> Hey all. I'm installing UNE on an Acer Aspire abd the install is cockblocking me.
[22:45] <leanfaust> install to terminal is very bad
[22:46] <Wulfy> iceroot_,  perfect just the job, the other idea i was playing with was to use a online version and just do everything web based
[22:46] <leanfaust> will have problem whit libraries
[22:46] <ecinx3>  !panel doesn't do anything " sorry, i know nothing of panel""
[22:46] <iceroot_> Wulfy: what groupware you need? kolab? scalix? ox? exchange?
[22:47] <iceroot_> leanfaust: why is it bad to install kubuntu-desktop?
[22:47] <iceroot_> leanfaust: from the shell
[22:47] <Gwar_Pony> hey guys, very odd request here. I have a library of close to 15,000 rendered pictures. I need a way to quickly filter out and display any that have a black square in the middle of them. is this possible at all or do I need to go through by hand?
[22:47] <leanfaust> the disorder
[22:47] <Wulfy> iceroot_,  not using exchange basicly notes mail  todo etc
[22:47] <mickster04> raisin123: open it....and click on the search box
[22:47] <kdog> Has anyone run parallels on ubuntu with Windows7 as the guest?
[22:48] <kerneltrouble> raisin123: just be aware that it might be harder to remove KDE and all it's affiliated programs then it was to get it
[22:48] <Jordan_U> Gwar_Pony: It can probably be done with imagemagic.
[22:48] <iceroot_> Wulfy: with kontact you can handle todos, calenders and so on
[22:48] <freebse> kdog: I did with debian
[22:48] <Wulfy> iceroot_,  thanks hunting for it now :)
[22:48] <maco2> iceroot_: um...as far as i know, it's not. and im an ubuntu dev using kubuntu.
[22:48] <roach> is there a way to tell if a service is running through a shell?
[22:48] <diphthong> I installed the ATI video driver from the 'add hardware' menu, now my X doesn't work.  how to recover?
[22:48] <dataviruset> ubuntu 10.04.2 is going to be released 1
[22:49] <dataviruset> 17 february, right? is there a way to get it noooow? :p
[22:49] <iceroot_> maco2: of course its not but i want to know from leanfaust
[22:49] <Jordan_U> roach: service foo status
[22:49] <raisin123> mickster04: ok thanks.
[22:49] <homeless> Hi I lost my home directory twice in a week. Xubuntu. Can anyone advise?
[22:49] <ecinx3> maco2: It would still be a problem if his hard drive is smal
[22:49] <roach> thank you Jordan_U
[22:49] <iceroot_> dataviruset: its not a featre update
[22:49] <Jordan_U> roach: You're welcome.
[22:49] <maco2> ecinx3: in which case you uninstall gnomne first
[22:50] <ecinx3> he want's to have both
[22:50] <korovamilk> hello
[22:50] <Wulfy> iceroot_,  bleh it relys on kde junk ? :)
[22:50] <l1nuxman> its so annoying when I want to edit a file thats in a filesystem directory with an editor after opening it and getting writing denied....Is there an easy way to make it open as root instead of having to do gksu ... explicitely in run ?
[22:50] <iceroot_> Wulfy: yes :(
[22:50] <korovamilk> now trying  xchat
[22:50] <kdog> freebse: what were the challenges?
[22:50] <korovamilk> looks better than kvirc
[22:50] <iceroot_> Wulfy: maybe have a look at evolution (gnome) it has some groupware functions too
[22:50] <iceroot_> Wulfy: but much less then kontact
[22:50] <ecinx3> iceroot was just warning him/her
[22:50] <Wulfy> iceroot_,  rats :( may go for a online solution then got plenty of hardware avalible and yeah using evolution now, feels kinda..... featureless and flat
[22:51] <dataviruset> can i get ubuntu 10.04.2 ISO somewhere? does it exist? :p
[22:51] <roach> d685ro6@gecko:~$ service foo status
[22:51] <roach> $foo: unrecognized service
[22:51] <iceroot_> Wulfy: have a look at zarafa, its an online outlook clone. look at google picture search. its really great
[22:51] <iceroot_> Wulfy: but zarafa is a complete groupware solution with mailserver and so on
[22:51] <iceroot_> dataviruset: why you need it?
[22:52] <sharav> How to fix java and ati problem?
[22:52] <Wulfy> iceroot hmmm i could just virtulise the app if that was what was needed but sounds like it may have a price tag on it?
[22:52] <iceroot_> sharav: by descriping the problem
[22:52] <dataviruset> iceroot_: i'm going to roll out some servers and i think it would be better to roll out 10.04.2 instead of 10.04.1 thinking of all updates i need to download afterwards
[22:52] <roach> Jordan_U, that command didnt work
[22:52] <roach> :(
[22:52] <iceroot_> dataviruset: what about a local repo?
[22:53] <homeless> Hi My Desktop and Documents folder just vanished from my home directory on Xubuntu - twice in a week. Do I need to reinstall?
[22:53] <sharav> iceroot_: every java applications crashes on my laptop with ati gpu :(
[22:53] <Wulfy> oh dear i just did sudo yum upgrade on a centos box.....
[22:53] <Jordan_U> roach: What did happen?
[22:53] <sharav> 3d java application
[22:53] <Diverdude> mevvis, when i do put CodeIgniter_2.0.0 in lftp which is a directory i get the error: CodeIgniter_2.0.0 is a directory. how do i copy the directory with files and subdirectories etc?
[22:53] <roach> d685ro6@gecko:~$ service foo status
[22:53] <roach> $foo: unrecognized service
[22:53] <iceroot_> sharav: but java has nothing to do with the gpu
[22:53] <roach> that ^
[22:53] <l1nuxman> its so annoying when I want to edit a file thats in a filesystem directory with an editor after opening it and getting writing denied....Is there an easy way to make it open as root instead of having to do gksu ... explicitely in run ?
[22:53] <iceroot_> sharav: ah ok java3d
[22:53] <dataviruset> iceroot_: ah, haven't thought of that. but i will need to install them anyway etc etc... well, whatever. i'll wait one more day :)
[22:53] <sharav> iceroot_ yes
[22:53] <iceroot_> sharav: 3d driver installed?
[22:53] <Jordan_U> roach: Replace foo with the service you want to check.
[22:53] <sharav> sure
[22:54] <roach> i dont know the name of the service
[22:54] <iceroot_> dataviruset: but its less traffic in the future
[22:54] <roach> if there is a service running there should be only one, and i dont know if it's running or not
[22:54] <iceroot_> l1nuxman: sudo vim filename
[22:55] <l1nuxman> iceroot_, GUI ! VIM ?
[22:55] <iceroot_> l1nuxman: no other (good way) to edit files owned by root
[22:55] <sharav> i want develop 3d java application, but java3d crashing :(
[22:55] <dataviruset> iceroot_: local repo sounds cool, just like windows deployment services or something. but it's in fact 2 servers that i don't wanna waste time with updates on :)
[22:55] <dataviruset> so it's not 100 servers...
[22:55] <iceroot_> l1nuxman: no need for a gui to write a text but if you prefer a gui, then use gksudo instead
[22:55] <mickster04> !details|  sharav
[22:55] <sharav> ok
[22:56] <iceroot_> dataviruset: ah ok though i was more
[22:56] <iceroot_> dataviruset: it
[22:56] <danub> hey all. ok, how do i use resize2fs to expand my drive? I just added 5 gigs of space to the vm disk and need to get that extra 5 gigs into the root drive.
[22:56] <yeats> roach: use 'ps aux | grep <search term>' to find a specific process
[22:56] <joelmob> how do i uninstall a package in java?
[22:56] <joelmob> i mena
[22:56] <joelmob> in ubuntu*
[22:56] <danub> i was looking at the manpage for it and it says i can do this while / is mounted
[22:56] <iceroot_> joelmob: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[22:56] <yeats> joelmob: sudo apt-get remove package
[22:56] <iceroot_> joelmob: sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename  to delete conffiles also
[22:56] <dataviruset> iceroot_: thanks for helping. i'll check local repo out, though... it seems cool :)
[22:56] <K|nG> joelmob: Go to Ubuntu software and there you search ajva and you can remove it or by using terminal apt-get remove packagename
[22:57] <danub> do i have to format the unused space, or will resizefs do it for me?
[22:57] <LordVorp> what's the package name for the 'wl' wireless driver?
[22:57] <danub> anyone?
[22:58] <iceroot_> danub: its a bad idea to resize / while it is mounted, use a live-cd with gparted (gui)
[22:58] <danub> dont have physical access to server
[22:58] <Diverdude> When i do put myfolder in lftp which is a directory i get the error: myfolder is a directory. how do i copy the directory with files and subdirectories etc?
[22:58] <sharav> I have problem with java3d, Im running ubuntu version 10.10(maverick), when I try to run jMonkeyEngine and other 3d java apps, Its crashed,
[22:58] <iceroot_> sharav: maybe #java with the traceback
[22:59] <sharav> every forum, they point it's ati issue
[22:59] <kschultz> quick question, how do i make a link or alias so that when i use ls it will always put it ls -l in the command prompt? I've seen people do similar things for vi -> vim
[22:59] <yeats> Diverdude: cp -r will copy recursively
[22:59] <terrapin> where does Ubuntu 10.10 store backround images for the desktop. ie, the folder?
[22:59] <terrapin> the path?
[23:00] <Raj007> terrapin : /usr/share/backgrounds
[23:00] <terrapin> ty
[23:00] <rumpe1> kschultz, its called "bash alias"
[23:00] <trism> kschultz: alias ls='ls -l'; although you may want to add --color=auto from the default alias
[23:00] <BiPolah> I accidentally removed some applications from my top panel, how would I go about resetting it to default?
[23:00] <iceroot_> kschultz: link = ln -l  or  "alias vi='vim'
[23:00] <kschultz> rumpel: thanks
[23:01] <sharav> my gpu is ati radeon 6370
[23:01] <iceroot_> !panels | BiPolah
[23:01] <yeats> !ati | sharav
[23:01] <Diverdude> yeats, also in lftp?
[23:01] <BiPolah> iceroot_:Thanks
[23:02] <iceroot_> kschultz: but it for e.g. in ~/.bashrc
[23:02] <Diverdude> yeats, no, unknown command cp
[23:03] <iceroot_> Diverdude: /bin/cp working instead of cp?
[23:03] <Diverdude> iceroot_, no i am in lftp
[23:03] <yeats> Diverdude: looking at lftp man page...
[23:03] <Diverdude> iceroot_, its not a normal copy
[23:03] <iceroot_> Diverdude: ah, then read the manpage of ltfp what is the copy command there
[23:03] <sharav> ok thanks all. maybe i should do more research with java and ati :(
[23:04] <iceroot_> Diverdude: normally its something like put
[23:04] <Diverdude> iceroot_, yes like i said thats what i used. put
[23:04] <Diverdude> iceroot_, but it gives an error
[23:04] <iceroot_> Diverdude: sorry never used lftp
[23:04] <Diverdude> gah
[23:05] <yeats> Diverdude: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567886/
[23:05] <Difesa> Can I use VirtualBox to install Ubuntu on a partition?
[23:05] <yeats> Diverdude: maybe "mput ftp://.../*"
[23:05] <wildbat> Diverdude: why don't you mount the ftp with ftpfs ~ easier
[23:06] <Diverdude> yeats, no mput only supports files
[23:07] <yeats> Diverdude: http://www.mail-archive.com/lftp@uniyar.ac.ru/msg03682.html

[23:15] <middle> Hey, need some help AGAIN: Had a horrible load of errors, the other night so i did a clean install, now i had an error similar to the on i had had before about repos not being trusted, so i did an apt-get update, and then it was fixed. This let me use the update manager... half way through the update my PC crashed (froze), when i reboot i get just a black screen after ubuntu has booted. ANy suggestions?
[23:15] <iceroot_> adub_: ctrl + alt + f1
[23:16] <adub_> iceroot_ i had tried that too
[23:16] <middle> So can anyone offer any advice?
[23:16] <james78> Anyone have any idea on how to start another GUI on any other TTY? I used to know but have since forgotten.
[23:16] <random_newb_0234> I'm trying to "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda bs=2M" but it will take 22 hours.  Isn't there like a "raw disk" option or something by referencing the hda and sda with an extra letter or two?  I forget the trick but sometimes it runs faster  Little help?
[23:16] <adub_> is there a new release of ubuntu anytime soon coming out
[23:17] <iceroot_> adub_: april 2011

[23:19] <iceroot_> triptec_: chroot into the system and create a user (and fill a bug report)
[23:20] <triptec_> iceroot_, is there any log from the install?

[23:21] <Diamondcite> middle: More details please, Which ubuntu version? Do freezes happen often?
[23:21] <adub_> AMD64 technology
[23:22] <Senjai> 64
[23:22] <adub_> does that mean my processor is 64  bit
[23:22] <ponbiki> i'd besonally use the amd64 arch adub_
[23:22] <Senjai> yes
[23:22] <ponbiki> personally*
[23:22] <Senjai> Use the 64 bit version
[23:22] <Diamondcite> adub: When possible preffer 64bit, you can always make a chroot for 32bit?
[23:22] <Raj007> yeah it's 64 and 32-bit. How much RAM do you have?
[23:22] <middle> Diamondcite: Ubutnu 10.10, no it was a clean install from last night
[23:22] <adub_> i have 4 gig of pretty high end ram
[23:22] <middle> Diamondcite: Froze a lot last night though, befor the install
[23:22] <Senjai> DDR3?
[23:22] <iceroot_> triptec_: i dont think so but i dont know (i am not running ubuntu here so i cant look up)
[23:22] <drexl> I get this error at boot time and sometimes the computer won't start..   (process:235): GlibWarning **: get pwuid_r() failed due to unknown user id (0)

[23:23] <adub_> 1 sec lemme check
[23:23] <Raj007> yeah, i'd use the 64-bit edition.
[23:23] <xnox> My internet is flaky. I'm copying large stuff over NFS. Can i resume "cp" from NFS after internet connection is reestablished?
[23:23] <droidftw> ubotu
[23:23] <droidftw> ubottu'
[23:23] <droidftw> ubottu
[23:23] <Senjai> tripelb ubuntu doesnt take much to run
[23:23] <adub_> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227496
[23:23] <Diamondcite> middle: Have you considered using the liveCD/LiveUSB to test your ram? I can't see ubuntu being crashy..
[23:23] <iceroot_> drexl: are you using ldap or something like that for managing users?
[23:23] <adub_> ya it appears to be ddr3
[23:23] <middle> Dinondcite: and its not my OC'ing i don't think, as it was stable for a long time, and i had no issues, also it crashed, on safest settings as well
[23:23] <rspencer> ya running ubuntu on pentiuum3 with 256mbs
[23:23] <droidftw> can you install unity on the desktop version?
[23:23] <Senjai> tripelb yes it can
[23:23] <ecinx3> anyone knows how i can start my taskbar?
[23:23] <drexl> iceroot_: it's a fresh install of 10.10 lubuntu
[23:23] <ecinx3> unity compviz
[23:23] <middle> Dinondcite: yeah i could use memtest 86+
[23:24] <wildbat> xnox: you may wanna use rsync instead
[23:24] <droidftw> thankyou
[23:24] <triptec_> iceroot_, thanks anyways chrooted and $passwd as root shoud be enough?
[23:24] <iceroot_> drexl: ok that means you are using passwd
[23:24] <rspencer> rsync better
[23:24] <Senjai> but i still think you should get something better for that price
[23:24] <drexl> iceroot_: yup
[23:24] <iceroot_> triptec_: chroot and use adduser
[23:24] <Diamondcite> middle: That might be adviseable, sudden crashes are odd, especially on fresh installs. Try to run it for 1-2 passes.
[23:24] <iceroot_> drexl: the problem is that the system cant translate userid 0 to root
[23:24] <middle> yeah will do
[23:24] <xnox> wildbat, rspencer - but NFS cp is *much* faster than rsync =(
[23:25] <middle> my worry is ECC is off, so yeah....
[23:25] <iceroot_> drexl: why, i dont know normally its when all your users are stored in ldap and you dont have a connection to ldap
[23:25] <adub_> why does 10.10 have reported problems with nvidia graphics cards
[23:25] <xnox> wildbat, rspencer - or do you mean rsync from NFS mount to local disk?
[23:25] <triptec_> iceroot_, ok, yeah done, lets see if it works
[23:28] <wildbat> xnox:  cp don't "resume" so ~ if data is large rsync will be faster ~
[23:28] <xnox> wildbat, ok
[23:28] <juabn1> help please  i need other repository for ubuntu
[23:29] <Diamondcite> juabn1: Other repository?
[23:30] <juabn1> yeah
[23:30] <middle> Diamondcite: Is there anythign i should look for in memtest?
[23:30] <Diamondcite> middle: If there are any errors your screen will start showing red text.. So either look for such text.. or a frozen memtest86
[23:30] <juabn1> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list     paste here
[23:31] <BuenGenio> hello
[23:31] <rspencer> ya but doesnnt rsync verify?
[23:31] <Diamondcite> juabn1: Can't use synaptic to manage your sources?
[23:31] <middle> Diamondcite: OK, but it is HQ ram, that is only like 2 months old
[23:31] <BuenGenio> I was wondering - how to change the default boot theme?
[23:32] <Diamondcite> middle: Well this is just a percaution, if ram is good, check the installation medium.
[23:32] <juabn1> my repos are very slow
[23:33] <Diamondcite> juabn1: As far as I know ubuntu's sources are load balanced, So everyone's sources.list should be the same...

[23:36] <tim_> I'm having a problem with a fresh install of 10.10 netbook remix: The sidebar and top panel don't show up properly. There is 'negative space' where they should be, but no graphics. Anyone here familiar with this issue?
[23:36] <freebse> tim_: I have the same issue with radeon
[23:37] <freebse> tim_: it is a bug
[23:37] <antonius> i've got a radeon x1200, had accelerated graphics working..then, just stopped working.  Personally, i think compiz is LAME, but, I do want my hardware to be capable to perform as its meant.  What do?
[23:37] <middle> Diamondcite: Do you mean the HDD? How would i test that from netroot?
[23:37] <Senjai> During an installation from source, after doing ./configure, i got this error: no terminal library found
[23:37] <Senjai> checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!
[23:37] <Senjai>       You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
[23:37] <Senjai> Does anyone know how to fix that?
[23:38] <juabn1> i have repost to japon
[23:38] <tim_> freebse: it could be a radeon card. There's an ATI sticker on teh computer, but 10.10 regular doesn't prompt for any special drivers, and looks fine.
[23:38] <juabn1> i need other repos
[23:38] <freebse> na ATI is lame, I never had problems with other cards
[23:38] <Andorin> Is Linux built in such a way that you can rename important directories, such as /home/?
[23:38] <Exterminans> http://ppa.launchpad.net/ down?
[23:38] <Diamondcite> Andorin: Renaming home is a little extreme, but if you are careful it should be doable.
[23:38] <freebse> since I have the ATI crad insinde my laptop compiz makes problems, I have font issues etc
[23:38] <Logan_WP> Exterminans: yes
[23:39] <bastidrazor> Exterminans: the ppa i am using from launchpad is down too. probably havnig issues
[23:39] <Senjai> Exterminans,  http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://ppa.launchpad.net/
[23:39] <antonius> yeah, ATI is lame, but when it's onboard, and on a laptop, not much you can do...but use windows :/
[23:39] <freebse> but I don't want to use closed source drivers, nv was much better
[23:39] <rumpe1> Andorin, linux can be build in any way you want....

[23:39] <Andorin> Diamondcite: Okay. I had someone ask me about it and obviously didn't know. I think she wondered about changing /home/user/ to /house/me/
[23:40] <tim_> Can I update the drivers at all, or is it a bust? Kind of weird, if I alt-tab, the graphics show up for a second.
[23:40] <BuenGenio> where are the "keyboard layout" and volume applets in 10.10 ?
[23:40] <Senjai> so does anyone know how I can fix my issue? what the hell is a terminal library
[23:40] <Logan_WP> !language | Senjai
[23:40] <antonius> lol changing from /home/ to /house/  that's like changing my name from Stephen to Steven
[23:40] <freebse> I fixed it by installing fglrx, but still it is a bug
[23:40] <Senjai> Sorry
[23:40] <Diamondcite> Andorin: 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.
[23:41] <Andorin> Diamondcite: I see
[23:41] <middle> Diamondcite: Do you mean the HDD? How would i test that from netroot?
[23:41] <freebse> what about moving home, normally nothing breaks, just update it in fstab
[23:42] <tim_> freebse: thanks, I'm installing that now, hopefully it's a fix.
[23:42] <Diamondcite> middle: Eh? I was thinking of testing the CD/USB drive holding the ubuntu install.
[23:42] <diphthong> how can i get the temperature of my machine ?
[23:42] <freebse> tim_: it does solve the problem at least it did over here, but still it is not a fix, it is a workaround
[23:42] <middle> oh... i could make a new one, running 32bit instead of 64 bit wouldn't cause errors woudl it? (beasty PC)
[23:42] <Senjai> !ot | dipthong
[23:43] <bastidrazor> Senjai: that is not offtopic.
[23:43] <diphthong> how is that not ubuntu related?  pedantic weirdo
[23:43] <tim_> Yeah, it should work out of the box. Really I just wanted to try the new interface. 10.10 is running fine.
[23:43] <Diamondcite> Senjai: Consider installing libncurses5-dev ?
[23:43] <middle> Diamondcite:oh... i could make a new one, running 32bit instead of 64 bit wouldn't cause errors woudl it? (beasty PC)
[23:43] <bastidrazor> !sensors | diphthong
[23:43] <freebse> besides this netbook thing is beta status
[23:43] <Senjai> Is it default with ubuntu repositories?
[23:43] <antonius> diphthong, well depending on WHAT u want a temp for, CPU, GPU, etc

[23:43] <Diamondcite> Senjai: yes, I can see it in synaptic.
[23:43] <Shjork> Is there a way to format a usb thumb drive so that it is capable of installing ubuntu onto a computer from the usb thumb drive??
[23:43] <bastidrazor> CryonicCore: turn that off, please.
[23:44] <Senjai> Diamondcite, I'll try it, let you know in a sec
[23:44] <middle> Anyone got a good reason for me to not use Arch?
[23:44] <tim_> freebse: so what exactly is flgrx or what ever that was?
[23:44] <Diamondcite> Senjai: Generally speaking, when you ./Configure a configure.log is generated, it will tell you what it might be looking for.
[23:44] <Dewey24> middle: they only have one book published?
[23:44] <freebse> tim_: the closed source graphic drivers from ati, what card do you have
[23:44] <bodhizazen> Anyone here familiar with framebuffer ?
[23:45] <Logan_WP> !usb | Shjork
[23:45] <Exterminans> middle: Might be even more stable the ubuntu, so give it a shot. Only reason not to, is that a lot of software out there has only prebuild packages for debian/ubuntu
[23:45] <bodhizazen> X is working fine, I am getting native resolution, but I can not get the proper resolution on my console(s)
[23:45] <middle> Dewey24: I haven't read any Ubuntu books so not the end of the world
[23:45] <Senjai> Diamondcite, no errors! Thank you Diamond :)
[23:45] <tim_> I don't know what card I have, since 10.10 doesn't report it. Is there an easy way to check from the shell?
[23:45] <Dewey24> middle: better start reading they are awesome
[23:45] <Shjork> Thanks~ :D
[23:46] <Logan_WP> !framebuffer | bodhizazen
[23:46] <tim_> freebse: I figured I'd see an option for ATI drivers on the additional driver window, but it only came up with stuff for my wireless card.
[23:47] <freebse> tim_: lspci
[23:47] <Logan_WP> !info lspci | tim_
[23:47] <Logan_WP> oops
[23:48] <freebse> what it does not exist ?
[23:48] <BuenGenio> where are the "keyboard layout" and volume applets in 10.10 ?
[23:48] <Logan_WP> tim_: it's a command, not a package - my mistake
[23:48] <Logan_WP> freebse: ^
[23:48] <Logan_WP> !layout | BuenGenio
[23:48] <freebse> lol, I have debian and just thought damn they even removed that :)
[23:48] <tim_> freebse: I got that, thanks :) It reports back that it's an ATI SB600? <-never heard of that.
[23:49] <bodhizazen> Logan_WP: How is that link supposed to solve my problem exactly ?

[23:49] <induz> can someone help me installing from .tar.gz downloaded files?
[23:49] <Logan_WP> tim_: that's your chipset
[23:49] <Alan> WHOA... is ppa.launchpad.net down or something?
[23:49] <Logan_WP> Alan: yes
[23:49] <freebse> it is a 5800 something
[23:49] <Alan> Logan_WP: way to go canonical?
[23:49] <induz> i have downloaded the source but its .tar.gz format
[23:49] <Logan_WP> bodhizazen: it has instructions for changing your framebuffer modes
[23:49] <aeon-ltd> !compile | induz
[23:50] <tim_> there is is, Radeon X1200
[23:50] <freebse> I don't know if this card is supported by the driver included in ubuntu, other wise you need to install it manual from the ati webpage
[23:50] <freebse> maybe someone else can tell you
[23:50] <bodhizazen> Logan_WP: When using frambuffer with intel cards one does not use "vga="
[23:50] <diphthong> what is the difference between aptitude upgrade and aptitude dist-upgrade ?

[23:50] <tim_> Cool, I'm gonna logoff and back on, see if that fixed it.
[23:51] <bodhizazen> setting vga=7xx would disable framebuffer
[23:52] <bodhizazen> Logan_WP: I am using KSM on an intel chip (GMA500)
[23:52] <bodhizazen> With a patched i915resolution
[23:52] <freebse> should be supported by the driver provided by ubuntu
[23:53] <BuenGenio> Logan_WP, thanks - I already added the extra layouts - but there is no indicator applet - so I don't know which one is turned on
[23:53] <bodhizazen> So as I said, X works fine, no problems there, I am having problems with my console resolution
[23:54] <bodhizazen> setting vga=7xx disables the (intel) KSM

[23:56] <freebse> BuenGenio: from which applet ?
[23:57] <bodhizazen> Logan_WP: Do you have any idea if it a problem with the kernel configuration, and if so what, or is it a problem with the initramfs ?
