[00:00] <ResQue> thanks guys downloading some of them now
[00:00] <bc81> gmg: if you're using network manager, right-click the applet, edit connections, choose your connection, edit, enter password when prompted, check "connect automatically"
[00:00] <sacarlson> gmg: I'm not sure about network manager but I think you could do it by modifying /etc/network/interfaces file,  I wonder if wicd will do it?
[00:00] <JeffCBR> Thanks. I read that shred doesn't work right with ext3. Is that true for ext4?
[00:01] <ResQue> JeffCBR, what are you looking todo secure delete files?
[00:02] <JeffCBR> ResQue: I was just reading man shread.
[00:02] <gmg> I did that but it doesn't automaticly recreate the Ad-Hoc network. But it automatic connect to a other access point
[00:02] <JeffCBR> man shread
[00:02] <JeffCBR> man shred!
[00:02] <JeffCBR> Is journaling enable by default with ext4 in Ubuntu?
[00:03] <ResQue> JeffCBR, i see, secure-delete is very useful
[00:03] <gmg> I need to recreate a wireless internet sharing network automaticly when a pc restarts
[00:03] <bc81> !ext4
[00:03] <nRy> ohsix: how are you sure that the controller will work
[00:03] <rww> JeffCBR: yes
[00:03] <nRy> OCZ said it will not work without the special drivers they made
[00:03] <almoxarife> I have cron.daily jobs starting at 15.30 my time, I rather they start between 00-03 my time, how do I make that happen?
[00:03] <gmg> In Ad-Hoc mode
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> JeffCBR: may help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tools-to-delete-files-securely-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> JeffCBR: yes ext4 is journalized
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> JeffCBR: ext2 is not, ext3 is just ext2 with a journal
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: change the cron. If it's cron'd as your user run: crontab -e   if its as root use: sudo crontab -e
[00:05] <livingwithrats> elp
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: or you can use gnome-schedule for a gui (run with gksudo for root crons)
[00:07] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: gnome-schedule changes cron ? or is an added process?
[00:07] <dandaman> quick question
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: its a gui to cron afaik
[00:07] <dandaman> i want to know what folder bzr is installed in
[00:07] <gmg> can anyone else help me how to wake a pc with bluetooth while in suspend mode?
[00:07] <dandaman> is there a command i can use?
[00:07] <rww> dandaman: whereis bzr
[00:07] <dandaman> i need to change my authentication.conf file
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: Gnome-schedule is a graphical user interface that leverages the power of vixie-cron, dcron and at to manage your crontab file and provide an easy way to schedule tasks on your computer
[00:09] <rww> dandaman: if you're running a bzr server, it's probably somewhere in /etc/bzr/. If you're running a bzr client, I think ~/.bzr/
[00:09] <gmg> isn't their a command I can put in startup to auto-recreate a wireless Ad-Hoc network?
[00:09] <dandaman> thanks!
[00:09] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: thnks
[00:12] <sacarlson> gmg: you did what?  modify /etc/network/interfaces?  pastebinit lets see what you have
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: i thin s/he went
[00:15] <cyphase> what's an easy way to decode gzip content on a captured http stream?
[00:16] <SliMM> hello guys
[00:16] <teddyb> ok im trying to setup my internet connection, on campus i have to go through various proxies, one for anything on port 80 and 443, another for every other port, and then at home i dont have to go through any of this, the proxy for port 80 and 44
[00:16] <teddyb> 3 is a http proxy
[00:16] <SliMM> I was wondering, will the nVidia graphics card work on the latest dell xps 15 with ubuntu?
[00:17] <SliMM> I mean, beacause of all that optimus thing
[00:17] <teddyb> SliMM so far for me its been a nightmare
[00:17] <john___> hi, does anybody has to suggest me a cover-flow or grid-flow pluggin for rrhythmbox? Thanks in advance!
[00:18] <Sub_Zero> I'm trying to format my SD card to ntfs but in the format menu via right clicking the desktop icon I can only see fat
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: its a GT435M, so yes. The proprietary driver will run it
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> Sub_Zero: install ntfsprogs
[00:18] <SliMM> ActionParsnip: the problem is nvidia optimus
[00:18] <Diamondcite> Sub_Zero: Won't gparted be more suitable for that?
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: what's that?
[00:18] <john___> hi, does anybody has to suggest me a working cover-flow or grid-flow pluggin for rrhythmbox? Thanks in advance!
[00:19] <Sub_Zero> ActionParsnip Already installed, still no show
[00:19] <SliMM> ActionParsnip: core i5 has an integrated gpu that generally gets priority
[00:19] <SliMM> ActionParsnip: and nvidia doesn't have proper drivers for linux
[00:19] <Sub_Zero> Diamondcite The format selection is greyed out
[00:19] <SliMM> teddyb: why?
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: oh one of those dual vga card things
[00:19] <Diamondcite> Sub_Zero: For just ntfs?
[00:19] <kironide`> what does this error mean? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added.
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: nvidia have been supporting linux for AGES
[00:19] <kevin_> Anyone know a good drag bar gui for ALSA audio?
[00:20] <Sub_Zero> Diamondcite No the entire 'format to' is
[00:20] <SliMM> ActionParsnip: not optimus
[00:20] <kironide> what does this error mean? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added.
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: they MAKE linux drivers
[00:20] <SliMM> ActionParsnip: they don't include their optimus technology
[00:20] <teddyb> i have a 310m :(
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: that looks like some switch where you can change video adapters, right?
[00:20] <Diamondcite> Sub_Zero: If Maybe you card is unformated and a partition table needs to be created first?
[00:20] <SliMM> ActionParsnip: software switch
[00:21] <SliMM> teddyb: and does it not work at all?
[00:21] <SliMM> teddyb: or is there an option in the bios for enabling it
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: i've seen people write scripts and guis for it, personally I advise staying away from stuff like that
[00:22] <th0r> Sub_Zero: you may need superuser priv to format removeable media
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: http://www.netbooknews.com/5133/linux-ubuntu-gets-gpu-switching/
[00:22] <SliMM> ActionParsnip: i don't want that thing, i just want to make sure i can disable it without disabling the nvidia card as well
[00:22] <teddyb> in the bios i have the option for just the intel one or the two of them
[00:22] <teddyb> slimm ^
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: http://www.laptops-drivers.com/video-cards-drivers/how-to-fix-nvidia-optimus-disabled-to-switch-to-discrete-graphics-in-asus-u35jc.html
[00:23] <Guest43275> join red
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> SliMM: seems possible, thats for an asus but there may be similar for dell
[00:24] <Guest43275> okie, i got bodhi linux, how do i get this xchat to server for ICQ?
[00:24] <Guest43275> anyone?
[00:24] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, still here?
[00:24] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, yep
[00:25] <Diamondcite> Guest43275: .. ICQ can do IRC? For that matter.. ICQ has a linux client?
[00:25] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, it seems to be working now :)
[00:25] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, excellent
[00:25] <teddyb> im trying to setup my internet connection, on campus i have to go through various proxies, one for anything on port 80 and 443, another for every other port, and then at home i dont have to go through any of this, the proxy for port 80 and 443 is a http proxy, while the proxy for the other ports is a socks proxy, i have looked at preferences >  network proxy but can only seem to add the http proxy properly
[00:25] <teddyb> sorry for the repost, just wanted to consolodate it all
[00:25] <Mon_Colonel_> hi
[00:25] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, you may also be able to reduce the sleep time, you could try sleep 10 and see how it goes
[00:26] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, what is that sleep command?
[00:26] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499,  check man sleep, it explains it
[00:26] <Mon_Colonel_> do you know how to run 'compizconfig-settings-manager' with a command line please ?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> Mon_Colonel_: ccsm
[00:26] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, does it delay the time the other commands are executed?
[00:27] <Mon_Colonel_> ActionParsnip, great ! Thank you
[00:27] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, it delays yes
[00:27] <immy> hi
[00:27] <ohsix> hrm too bad slimm left
[00:27] <eijutobi> can anyone help me with installing ubuntu netbook?
[00:27] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, just looked at its man file
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> eijutobi: in what sense, can you expand the question please
[00:27] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, basically we said wait 20 seconds and then execute the other command
[00:28] <immy> i'm trying to add the google repository to software sources. I've added the key already and it is listed but I'm not sure what the actual repository URI is
[00:28] <scarface> I'm trying to install 10.10 alongside Win 7 in a dual-boot scenario.  But there are already 4 primary partitions on the laptop (HP).  Is there a way to create an extended partition without deleting any of the existing primaries?  Or convert one of the primaries to be an extended, without losing the data?
[00:28] <eijutobi> i put in the disc and there's no installation menu, just something that looks awfully like a terminal
[00:28] <immy> has anybody here added the google repository?
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> immy: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/use-google-linux-repositories-in-ubuntu.html
[00:28] <_vladt> I'm trying to use synaptics for my mouse so that I can use syndaemon to turn off my track pad while I type on my laptop; however, /proc/bus/input/devices doesn't list my mouse as having synaptics enabled and though I've turned it on in X11/xorg.conf it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to look at? I'm on 10.10
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> eijutobi: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[00:29] <eijutobi> yeah.
[00:29] <eijutobi> should i re-download it?
[00:29] <kironide> does anyone know how to fix this error? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> eijutobi: good and are you using a CD?
[00:29] <eijutobi> yes
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> eijutobi: no if it passed MD5 then its fine :)
[00:29] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I modified it a bit also http://pastebin.com/gX6qxB6w
[00:29] <eijutobi> hrm..
[00:29] <Aikar> im finding the default video drivers for 10.10 sufficient for my nvidia GTS 250, however fan speed is still maxed out w/o nividia drivers, anything i can do besides installing nvidia?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> eijutobi: ok then when the CD starts to boot, press SPACE and select to test the CD for defects, you can also test RAM from the same page
[00:30] <Mon_Colonel_> ActionParsnip, thank again
[00:30] <Mon_Colonel_> bye everybody
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Mon_Colonel_: np man
[00:30] <eijutobi> alright i'll try it. thanks
[00:30] <deadline> hay all
[00:30] <kevin_> hay
[00:30] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, looks fine
[00:31] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I'm going to reboot once more and check it...
[00:31] <kevin_> 10.04 has multitouch touchpad function enabled by default.. however the system/mouse doesnt show any settings for it.. any ideas?
[00:31] <ShapeShifter499> brb
[00:32] <immy> thanks actionparsnip - i have found that and another webpage with the same URI but it gives me an error - unable to find expected entry
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> immy: so you added: deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free       to /etc/apt/sources.list?
[00:34] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: that repo doesn't exist anymore
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: yeah just noticed
[00:35] <meLon> Anybody have a multi-touch solution for laptop that they like?
[00:35] <immy> nvm actionparsnip - i was getting an error - software sources adds an extra entry for source code - i just deleted it and it looks like everything is ok now
[00:35] <immy> thank you
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> immy: are you after picasa?
[00:36] <immy> google chrome
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> immy: chrome is in the ubuntu repo
[00:36] <kironide> Does anyone know how to fix this? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added.
[00:37] <immy> that's chromium - should i just go with chromium?
[00:37] <g_0_0> immy, http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux
[00:37] <xtbgod> i'm i able to formatan NTFS partition from ubuntu so i can use it for files storage?
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> immy: you can get daily chromium buils using: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install chromium-browser
[00:37] <erUSUL> xtbgod: yes; install ntfsprogs and use gparted
[00:37] <immy> but will it be stable?
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> immy: or chrome: http://blog.sudobits.com/2010/10/22/how-to-install-google-chrome-on-ubuntu-10-10/
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> immy: yes it's stable, its all I use
[00:38] <g_0_0> immy, chrome available here -> http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux
[00:38] <meLon> You can get Chromium, as well immy
[00:38] <immy> thx guys :)
[00:39] <cyphase> lol, what the.. 127.0.0.1 is being resolved as tracker.thepiratebay.org in wireshark
[00:39] <immy> i had ubuntu running over the weekend but gnome crashed after i installed chromium and had it running...
[00:39] <immy> i thought it might be chromium
[00:40] <kironide> clear
[00:40] <kironide> what does this error mean? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added.
[00:40] <immy> so i reinstalled ubuntu this morning
[00:40] <xtbgod> erUSUL, my package manager says i got it .. i just don't know how to use it.. i started today
[00:40] <erUSUL> xtbgod: use it via gparted. System>Admin>Partition editor
[00:41] <mia158> exit
[00:44] <pundit> what program or ps-viewer does the system use to display manpages, after they are formatted with groff and before they are diplayed with the pager (less)?
[00:45] <xtbgod> erUSUL, and to which type do you recommend me to change de partition?
[00:45] <immy> i'm studying psyc and some humanities courses - i usually use MS Word and looking for an alternative - i'd like a very good citation/bib tool (preferably integrated) and a word processing programme that allows me to write essays and research reports with appropriate styles and citation formats (APA, Harvard...)
[00:45] <immy> is OO sufficient?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> immy: that or libreoffice
[00:45] <pundit> immy LaTeX
[00:46] <Aikar> hmm, i just reinstalled ubuntu and i cant remember how to get Chrome Unstable added to sources, anyone know? using ubuntu tweak
[00:47] <erUSUL> xtbgod: type? primary vs logical?
[00:47] <erUSUL> pundit: none they go from froff to less directly
[00:47] <erUSUL> groff*
[00:48] <immy> i better read up about latex... i'm thinking of trying out lyx. it may be useful for psyc research papers particularly with quantitative statistical data
[00:48] <erUSUL> immy: LyX
[00:48] <erUSUL> !info lyx | immy
[00:48] <rww> pundit: Don't crosspost between #ubuntu and #debian, please.
[00:48] <erUSUL> !info texmacs
[00:48] <pundit> erUSUL thats what i thought, too. but i ran a manpage manually through groff -mandoc and it produced a postscript file, which cant be read with "less"
[00:48] <pundit> rww ok
[00:49] <xtbgod> erUSUL, i mean FAT16, N95 Fat32?
[00:49] <erUSUL> xtbgod: you said you wanted ntfs ...
[00:50] <kironide> what does this error mean? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added.
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> pundit: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a | pastebinit     Thanks
[00:50] <chrislu5tic> HI there, I am trying to install     gem install rubydns....  but it says "You don't have write permissions into the /var/lib/gems/1.8 directory."
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> pundit: run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit    if you don't have it installed
[00:50] <_vladt_> chrislu5tic: Run as root?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: prefix with sudo
[00:51] <chrislu5tic> thank you
[00:51] <immy> thx and bye
[00:51] <chrislu5tic> all
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: without sudo, the command will run as user, which doesn't have write access
[00:51] <chrislu5tic> excellent.
[00:52] <chrislu5tic> i have now achieved my gaol
[00:52] <chrislu5tic> thanks
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> good times :)
[00:52] <erUSUL> pundit: groff -Tascii -mandoc | less
[00:53] <chrislu5tic> hmmm
[00:53] <pundit> erSUL hm, that option  -T is not in the /etc/manpath.config
[00:53] <pundit> erUSUL hm, that option  -T is not in the /etc/manpath.config
[00:55] <chrislu5tic> my next command wont work
[00:55] <nsgn> hello. i need to run a script each time a network cable is connected or disconnected so i can alert virtualbox  to this condition. the script needs to be specific to each NIC, and whether or not it has gone up or down. any pointers for the right way to approach this?
[00:55] <chrislu5tic> sudo ./fuckPSN.rb
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: what is the error?
[00:56] <pundit> ActionParsnip http://pastebin.com/DzfqpyuM
[00:56] <chrislu5tic> no command found...
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> pundit: Jaunty is no longer supported
[00:56] <chrislu5tic> its suppost to start  "fuck psn"
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: i suggest you search yur filesystem and re-read the guide you are using
[00:57] <plaastik> anyone know a way to get network security alerts thru gnome notify?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | pundit
[00:57] <chrislu5tic> take a look at this.... and ignore the rainbow part    http://gitorious.org/fuckpsn/pages/Home
[00:57] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, its not working again :/
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> plaastik: you can use: notify-send   to make notify-osd show the text you want
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> !eol | pundit
[00:58] <chrislu5tic> just the linux part
[00:58] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, pastebin your rc.local. Was there a reason you edited it to add the other channels
[00:58] <pundit> ActionParsnip well, this is a very general linux question from me; and, is this an official support channel here? Actually i want to use troff for the mapages, this is about 30 years old... i doubt i will find a "support channel" for that  (LOL)
[00:59] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499,  did you reduce the sleep time, you may need to increase it again.
[00:59] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, not really
[00:59] <plaastik> ActionParsnip: thanks
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> pundit: your release isn't suppored in any way
[00:59] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, no    http://pastebin.com/3jg5w0xA
[00:59] <arnold> heya, i'm trying to install adobe air. i see in most tutorials to download the .bin instead. but i also see a .deb. should i download the .bin anyway?
[01:00] <pundit> ActionParsnip please read my last post, maybe then my question will become clearer to you
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> plaastik: not sure man, sorry
[01:00] <chrislu5tic> Launch fuckPsn: sudo ./fuckPsn.rb
[01:00] <alisalaah> sorry..i got disconnected
[01:01] <alisalaah> UBUNTU 10.10 :: how do i put the Clock all the way to the right, it wont allow me to go paste the wifi icon and such in the top panel?
[01:01] <dsdeiz-> ahh nvm. it maybe the .deb
[01:01] <Roasted> Are there any media players that compare to Banshee and Rhythmbox? I'm having an issue with both of them, so I'm trying to find one that uh. works.
[01:02] <tripelbaby> roasted vlc plays media
[01:02] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I left the values alone in alsamixer and when I run the whole command as it is in rc.local  in the terminal, it works
[01:02] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, sound
[01:02] <alisalaah> Roasted, all i could suggest is http://alternativeto.net/software/rhythmbox/ which you may have already looked at
[01:03] <adamruffolo>  Roasted: what about vlc?
[01:03] <DaGeek247> Roasted totem (Movie Player) does
[01:03] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, it should work
[01:03] <g_0_0> you could split the command over several lines
[01:03] <Roasted> guys, I'm not trying to PLAY media. I'm trying to find an itunes style program, that can set up playlists on my mp3 player, etc.
[01:04] <pundit> erUSUL truely with the option -T ascii instead of the default ps the output of groff -mandoc is readable. but i cant see why the system should use this option, as the /etc/manpath.config explicitly says it uses "groff -mandoc"
[01:04] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, so if I put the commands on different lines in rc.local, they will run separately?
[01:04] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, yeah
[01:04] <alisalaah> Roasted, you could use Spotify.. or WINE the WIndows version of iTunes
[01:04] <adamruffolo> Roasted: gtkpod?
[01:05] <alisalaah> Rythmbox and Banshee are the best ones I know of
[01:05] <Roasted> alisalaah, well, I want a program that works, so no - I won't use itunes :P
[01:05] <Roasted> I'm having issues with both of them that's raging me at the moment.
[01:05] <Roasted> I'm not sure if it's my player or the programs or what.
[01:05] <Stormx2> alisalaah, right click the items which won't move and uncheck "lock to panel"
[01:05] <adamruffolo> Roasted: what about gtkpod?
[01:05] <Roasted> let me look that one up
[01:06] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, ah I did not know that
[01:06] <Roasted> do I need an ipod for gtkpod?
[01:06] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, and no need for  &   between them?
[01:06] <alisalaah> Stormx2, i tried and the clock wont go right of wifi.. and wifi doesnt move
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: wine + spotify is decent
[01:06] <adamruffolo> Roasted: Don't think so.  I have it installed.  Haven't played around with it much but it works without an iPod as far as i can tell.
[01:07] <M4A1> everyone here
[01:07] <adamruffolo> Roasted: scratch that.  Never mind.  I think you are right about the ipod tpart
[01:07] <Macstheyjustsuck> bc81_: It worked on the USB port it was on, then I took it off like I usually do when it's charged, came back, plugged it back in, it says it's in USB mode and it shows up in Computer, and it just didn't work right after that
[01:07] <Macstheyjustsuck> Oh whoops
[01:07] <Macstheyjustsuck> wrong preset
[01:07] <Macstheyjustsuck> ma bad
[01:08] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, no no need f0r &&
[01:08] <Roasted> if only rhythmbox would work
[01:08] <Roasted> sigh
[01:08] <immy> hi
[01:08] <adamruffolo> Roasted: did you try to remove it and reinstall?
[01:08] <immy> i removed the empathy icon from the panel but the power button is also gone now
[01:08] <immy> how do i get it back?
[01:08] <Roasted> adamruffolo, many times
[01:09] <DaGeek247> immy reset the tasbars?
[01:09] <pareli> is it possible to disable the capabilities to use a mouse in a terminal via some config file?
[01:09] <kdog> \quit
[01:10] <adamruffolo> Roasted: try gmusicbrowser
[01:10] <immy> how do i reset?
[01:10] <adamruffolo> roasted: or Amarok
[01:11] <strav`> he. I'm currently using vlc as my main media player for I found it's pretty much the best at handling latency over my lan (I'm actually accessing a small samba share on nas over wifi)... Only problem is it kinda sucks for music management. Any good alternatives? (mainly I'm looking for: good buffering (latency handling), decent music/collection management, low on ressources)
[01:11] <DaGeek247> immy hold on. you might wanna back up your links while i hand type in the command
[01:11] <agreimann> Hello. Had a quick question for everyone. Can hyperlinks be written into zenity dialogs?
[01:12] <spark_> hi all I got like  problem   first my keyboard on my laptop is not totaly working the numpad do not work   and  my nvidia gc is not used ( it is using myhd intel instead -_-)  the 2 cards are detected but  when I install the nedded nvidia drivers I end up to the consol is there a way that I can fix this ?
[01:13] <pareli> x
[01:14] <Nicolas_Leonidas> how do you know what apt-get has installed on your ubuntu before?
[01:14] <chrislu5tic> I cant seem to run a file in the terminal from my desktop that I need.
[01:15] <Nicolas_Leonidas> or is there a way to find out what apps are installed
[01:15] <DaGeek247> immy this will do it: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[01:15] <pareli> spark_: what kind of nvidia gc do you have?
[01:15] <immy> thx :)
[01:15] <spark_> pareli I have an 310m
[01:15] <agreimann> Nicolas_Leonidas: You're trying to find previously installed programs?
[01:15] <mnaines> What's the solution to a kernel panic caused by a bad kernel update or memory allocation error?
[01:15] <Nicolas_Leonidas> agreimann: yes
[01:16] <strav`> Nicolas_Leonidas: synaptic has a filter to show you installed packages
[01:16] <Nicolas_Leonidas> strav`: only for packages that synaptic has installed or everything?
[01:16] <agreimann> OK. In the shell, go ahead and type in "ls /var/cache/apt/archives" with no quotes.
[01:16] <agreimann> This will list all packages you have previously installed.
[01:17] <chrislu5tic> Download source code
[01:17] <agreimann> You might want to add the | less flag if the list is long.
[01:17] <chrislu5tic> Install required gems with gem install rubydns
[01:17] <chrislu5tic> Launch fuckPsn: sudo ./fuckPsn.rb
[01:17] <FloodBot1> chrislu5tic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:17] <chrislu5tic> sudo ./fuckPsn.rb  wont work.. andy ideas?
[01:17] <pareli> spark_: tried startx when you end up in console?
[01:17] <Nicolas_Leonidas> agreimann: thanks
[01:17] <lahwran> I recently updated my system. apparently this included a nm-applet update. since then, the tooltip that tells me wireless strength on nm-applet has stopped working (it just doesn't show up). anyone have any ideas how I would troubleshoot this?
[01:17] <mnaines> agreiman, how do you do a complete uninstall through the command line?
[01:17] <agreimann> A complete uninstall?
[01:18] <agreimann> From which operating system?
[01:18] <mnaines> agreiman, like completely remove an app and all its components from Ubuntu
[01:18] <strav`> Nicolas_Leonidas: everything you installed with apt
[01:18] <agreimann> Ah.
[01:18] <agreimann> apt-get remove program_name, where program_name is the program you want to uninstall.
[01:18] <bc81> strav`: i'm currently using rhythmbox with a similar setup as you, and have no latency problems, tried it out yet?
[01:18] <spark_> pareli I do not whant to mess up my system :/
[01:18] <strav`> Nicolas_Leonidas: you can also try dpkg-query which is neat on the cmd line.
[01:19] <mnaines> agreiman, next question:  What's the solution to a kernel panic caused by a bad kernel update or a memory allocation error?
[01:19] <zzing> Is there such thing as a 'mini' cd instead of the 700mb variety?
[01:19] <agreimann> Or, you can open Synaptic, Quick Find the program you want to remove, right-click it, and click "Completely remove package."
[01:19] <strav`> bc81: nope, I tried audacious with different buffer settings and can't seem to get rid of glitches now and then.
[01:19] <Nicolas_Leonidas> strav`: thanks
[01:19] <agreimann> mnaines: Can you revert to the last kernel from grub?
[01:19] <immy> worked like a charm
[01:19] <immy> thx dageek
[01:19] <mnaines> agreiman, yes.
[01:19] <strav`> bc81: I'll give rythmbox a try.
[01:20] <lahwran> anyone on the nm-applet tooltip problem?
[01:20] <spark_> pareli I did not tryed because it try to boot on both card
[01:20] <bc81> strav`: then again, i'm relatively close to my router, so that may be why i experience no latency problems.  only with 720p video streaming over samba
[01:20] <agreimann> lahwran: You might need to reinstall the notification service with the shell.
[01:20] <strav`> bc81: ok
[01:21] <agreimann> Anyone how if hyperlinks can be used in a zenity dialog?
[01:21] <lahwran> agreimann: well the notification daemon works fine with it, shows me popups just fine, it just doesn't show me the status *tooltip* that indicates signal strength
[01:21] <bc81> strav`: also, gconf-editor apps >> ryhthmbox >> player, there is a network_buffer_size setting.  i think you'll be quite happy with rythmbox :)
[01:21] <strav`> bc81: kinda odd, I don't seem to have any latency for 720p videos.
[01:21] <jigynet> anyone here play dark orbit?
[01:22] <induz> why I can not change my display monitor's resolution?? on KuBuntu Lucid
[01:22] <agreimann> lahwran: Ah. What desktop environment do you use?
[01:22] <induz> it is set to too high
[01:22] <pareli> spark_: oh, well then i'm not sure. installed ubuntu about a week ago for my first time, and i only know so much.. post your problem on ubuntuforums and search your query on google.
[01:22] <bc81> strav`: i should probably look into vlc settings to increase buffer size..forgot aobut that one
[01:22] <agreimann> lahwran: If it's a fresh Ubuntu install, it'd be GNOME.
[01:22] <strav`> bc81: although it would have been nice to have this option in rythmbox itself. Have you tried mpd btw?
[01:22] <lahwran> agreimann: gnome. I use the standard applets
[01:22] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, going to try it now, I got distracted by watching the earthquake reports on tv
[01:23] <bc81> strav`: never heard of it until now
[01:23] <agreimann> lahwran: OK. Can you try to delete your top panel, rebuild it, and explain what happens then?
[01:23] <jigynet> yea i know
[01:23] <jigynet> will there be more tho?
[01:23] <lahwran> agreimann: purpose being? i've heavily customized my panels and would prefer not to delete them. it'd actually be the bottom panel with the indicators.
[01:24] <agreimann> induz: Edit the xorg.conf file. Check /etc/X11 and Ubuntu support for options with this.
[01:24] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, should I add a sleep command before each one?
[01:24] <agreimann> lahwran: Your applets are on the bottom of the screen?
[01:24] <xtbgod> Recommend me a p2p client?
[01:24] <jigynet> gay
[01:25] <agreimann> lahwran: Resetting the panel should assist in fixing the tooltip problem.
[01:25] <lahwran> agreimann: the indicator applet is.
[01:25] <aeon-ltd> xtbgod: p2p like bittorrent?
[01:25] <lahwran> I see :/
[01:25] <jigynet> wants to /join ubuntuofftopic
[01:25] <twitch> !torrent | xtbgod
[01:25] <aeon-ltd> xtbgod: rtorrent if you like cli, transmission for gui
[01:26] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, you shouldn't need a sleep command before each one
[01:26] <xtbgod> Thank you
[01:26] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, just put one at the beginning
[01:26] <strav`> bc81: it's really a good thing. mpd is a music deamon that allows you to control it via tons of clients. So basically, my nas is connected to a sound system and I'm controlling what plays using an mpd client. I never tried to use it on a remote file source.
[01:26] <Solm> Hey, is it possible to run Ubuntu without restart? And then exit ubuntu without restart via having it on a usb drive?
[01:27] <agreimann> Quitting...
[01:27] <aeon-ltd> Solm: no, but you can run ubuntu inside other oses
[01:27] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, begging of the whole thing like this ?     http://pastebin.com/5daDA2jS
[01:27] <Qation> Hey does anyone know how I can get the sound device name I'm using? I'm trying to use gtk-recordmydesktop and I'm not sure what to put for the device area..
[01:27] <bc81> strav`: sounds interesting, i'll look into it. hey do you know where the vlc buffer settings are?  i can't find them for the life of me
[01:28] <Solm> @Aeon-Itd, how would I go about doing that?
[01:28] <aeon-ltd> Solm: virtual machines
[01:28] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, *begining
[01:28] <aeon-ltd> !vm | Solm
[01:28] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, *beginning
[01:28] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, that should work
[01:29] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, ok trying now brb
[01:29] <bc81> strav`: is it the default caching policy under input/codecs?
[01:30] <jigynet> me have 64bit atom netbook with xubuntu xD
[01:30] <strav`> bc81: tools/settings... show Settings set to all, then input/codecs
[01:30] <Solm> Ubottu, No, I'm asking if I, for example, could go to another computer, for example one at school (I'm in college), and put a USB drive in and start up ubuntu, without restarting the entire computer.
[01:30] <bc81> strav`: thanks :)
[01:30] <Solm> lawl
[01:30] <rww> Solm: no
[01:30] <strav`> bc81: it's in the input/codecs I just don't remember exactly what setting, let me check.
[01:30] <ExplodingPiglets> how do I wipe my hard drive?
[01:30] <ExplodingPiglets> completly?
[01:31] <jigynet> open it..
[01:31] <bc81> strav`: think i got it, default caching policy?  probably want that high as it can go
[01:31] <rww> ExplodingPiglets: download http://www.dban.org/ , write it to a CD, boot from it, follow instructions.
[01:31] <aeon-ltd> Solm: this is kinda close http://lifehacker.com/#!5195999/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows
[01:31] <jigynet> shoot it from a cannon?
[01:31] <hypatia> ExplodingPiglets: i use the shred command with the flags -n 1 -z
[01:31] <Qation> Does anyone know how I can find my sound devices's name if I'm using alsa?
[01:32] <hypatia> ExplodingPiglets: which writes random data to the drive once, then zeroes
[01:32] <jigynet> repeat
[01:32] <strav`> bc81: heh. I just don't see that default caching policy
[01:32] <jigynet> if your really harry about your data being gone, try to recovver it xD
[01:32] <Solm> @Aeon-itd, Ah, that's awesome, is there any Mac-compatible ones?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> ExplodingPiglets: you can zero it
[01:33] <bc81> strav`: tools >> settings >> input & codecs >> network >> default caching policy
[01:33] <strav`> bc81: ok, It's in the simple settings
[01:33] <strav`> bc81: you have some interesting network related stuff in advanced if you wish to take a look.
[01:33] <Secret1222>  is there a program to allow to use exe files?
[01:33] <rww> !wine | Secret1222
[01:34] <Lamo> Like the jacknutts I am I accidentally botched my /var permissions. Anyonbe have a link where i can find the defaults?
[01:34] <bc81> strav`: i set it to highest, restarted vlc, tried a 720p video stream, but it still hangs.  might be because it's pulling the file off a usb external drive over samba through wifi lol.  i'll check out some of those advanced settings though
[01:34] <jigynet> i play dark orbit in xubuntu... the games resolutions are not takeing..
[01:34] <mattmatteh> i am trying to update 10.04 to 10.10, ran the update manager, and i get a window that pops up saying "Could not calculate the upgrade" .... "
[01:34] <mattmatteh> This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later."
[01:35] <strav`> bc81: ah there, in input/codecs in the advanced settings, if you expand access modules you can select alsa and then enter a numeric value in ms for the cache.
[01:35] <jigynet> bc81, try 1500 mtu and turn off traffic controls..max any cache available..enable media mode?
[01:35] <strav`> bc81: this of course is for audio... for video I don't remember if I tweaked anything.
[01:36] <Nicolas_Leonidas> I don't know why this file is being created every time I restart /etc/init.d/.svnserve.swo
[01:36] <bc81> strav`: , jigynet i'll tweak around with those, thanks :)
[01:36] <jigynet> x
[01:36] <Nicolas_Leonidas> I'm trying to get rid of all traits of svn
[01:36] <jigynet> xD
[01:37] <Secret1222> thanks
[01:37] <aeon-ltd> Solm:  i don't think so
[01:37] <strav`> bc81: something nice too... in the access modules you have an smb module which has a cache value to be set too. (mine is at 1500)
[01:37] <Secret1222> :)
[01:37] <iszak> so I've got a bunch of JPEG's that kind of in a non-standard format and I want to batch resave them via the CLI, anyone know of a CLI tool that'll read and resave jpeg's accordingly.
[01:38] <bosyak> how to use second desktop? I enabled "single display desktop" (Multi-desktop)" but can't find how to drag to it something?!
[01:38] <Secret1222> im not playing around with perl because i stuffed it up
[01:38] <jigynet> hmm
[01:38] <mickster04> iszak: do you want to change bits or something else?
[01:38] <Solm> @Aeon-Itd, Ah well thanks anyways
[01:38] <mattmatteh> anyone familiar with updating problems that could help?
[01:38] <iszak> mickster04, It will change the format or so yeah.
[01:38] <jigynet> so who should i contact? adobe? game devs? or os support?
[01:38] <Secret1222> i mean i stuffed ubuntu by installing proxysitelist
[01:39] <iszak> bosyak, what graphics drivers do you have ATI or Nvidia?
[01:39] <bosyak> iszak: Ati 5450
[01:39] <Xeon06> Hey folks. If I precede a script with "#!/bin/bash" and call it foo, and I just run "foo" from the same directory, it should work, right?
[01:40] <iszak> bosyak, you've installed catalyst control center?
[01:40] <bosyak> it's seems to work... yes
[01:40] <bosyak> mouse is working
[01:40] <Jordan_U> Xeon06: No.
[01:40] <Xeon06> Jordan_U: What am I doing wrong?
[01:40] <iszak> so you went into the catalyst control center -> display manager -> select the monitor -> multi display taba nd set it to multi-display desktop with display(s) x
[01:40] <iszak> bosyak, ^
[01:40] <Cpudan80> Xeon06: If you chmod it so it's executable and do ./foo
[01:41] <Cpudan80> Xeon06: then it will execute the stuff in the bash script
[01:41] <mickster04> iszak: so you need a cli tool that can edit files byte by byte so wait around seeif anyone knows of one, otherwise googling that may also help?
[01:41] <jigynet> soo, hmm
[01:41] <Jordan_U> Xeon06: It needs to be executable and you need to run "./foo". You can only use the program name alone for programs in $PATH.
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> Xeon06: you will need to chmod +x filename    for it to work, but yes
[01:41] <Xeon06> Jordan_U: Cpudan80: ActionParsnip Thanks!
[01:41] <Cpudan80> np
[01:41] <Jordan_U> Xeon06: You're welcome.
[01:41] <induz> why I can not change my display/monitor settings on Kubuntu/lucid KDE?
[01:41] <Cpudan80> satisfiedCustomers++
[01:41] <iszak> mickster04, well I just need to resave them all in a common format.
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> induz: what video chip?
[01:42] <induz> I tried to change the dpi from highest to lower and the monitor goes black...
[01:42] <bosyak> iszak: I don't want share my desktop on two monitors. I want two separate desktops... is it possible?
[01:42] <mickster04> iszak: are they in a proer format now? like png? and you want to change then to jpg? cos that's again slightly different?
[01:42] <induz> its integrated intel chip
[01:42] <induz> it works fine on Gnome
[01:43] <induz> now with the highest dpi set the dispaly is fudgy
[01:43] <strav`> bosyak: it's possible but a little more involved.
[01:43] <Jordan_U> iszak: You can use the "convert" command from imagemagic.
[01:43] <bc81> strav`: thanks again, no more 720p laggage!  not sure which setting fixed it (i set all cache possiblities to 5000).  now i don't have to copy the files here to watch them
[01:43] <iszak> Jordan_U, yeah just found that
[01:43] <bc81> strav`: any luck with rhythmbox?
[01:43] <strav`> bosyak: there are some good tutorials about this but the last time I did this, you could play with xorg.conf now things have changed.
[01:44] <tensorpudding> can one use application indicators with vala?
[01:44] <iszak> bosyak, then change the multi-display setting to single display desktop (multi-desktop) in the same area in catalyst control panel.
[01:44] <iszak> bosyak, but that said you won't be able to drag between them IIRC.
[01:44] <tensorpudding> and if so, what library do you need
[01:44] <bosyak> iszak: how to run something on second monitor? or how to use it?
[01:45] <iszak> bosyak, you move your mouse into the second monitor and thus desktop and run something.. simple
[01:45] <iszak> and it shouldn't conflict with the other one.
[01:45] <bosyak> strav`: are Ati card good? or Nvidia have better support?
[01:45] <strav`> bc81: my nas is currently down (gotta buy new hds), but I'll try it later - meanwhile perhaps I'll see if I cannot get more juice out of vlc. I really like using one good application for all my media.
[01:45] <induz> I go to k--computer..system settings--display/monitor, it ios set to 1280x1024[auto], i want it to change it to1152x864
[01:45] <iszak> bosyak, I heard Nvidia have better support
[01:45] <induz> how can i achieve that
[01:46] <strav`> bosyak: you should be able to do it with both. Of course nvidia is always less a pain.
[01:46] <mickster04> induz: you can do that in gnome?
[01:46] <bc81> strav`: theres also a ton of plugins in vlc, never messed with them myself.  you might find something of use in there
[01:46] <jigynet> how do i tell darkorbit/flash to use one resolution?
[01:46] <induz> mickster04, yes
[01:47] <steve__> where is the natty chat?
[01:47] <mickster04> !natty
[01:47] <steve__> ty
[01:47] <mickster04> )
[01:47] <mickster04> :)
[01:47] <bosyak> iszak: second monitor is absolutly bold... no context meny. no menu... suppose it's bug?
[01:47] <induz> yes i can do that on Gnome
[01:47] <iszak> bosyak, you probably haven't created the menus and stuff yet.
[01:47] <induz> I am stuck
[01:47] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, rebooted 4 times and the commands only worked once
[01:48] <induz> now the fonts are bleeding
[01:48] <strav`> bosyak: the term you're looking for in google is: xorg multiseat conf
[01:48] <bosyak> iszak: mean for secon desktop? But context menu should work?
[01:48] <bosyak> strav`: ok
[01:48] <Nach0z> um. i've got a question... i'm looking at a bunch of ubuntu scripts that have rc.d in them but my Ubuntu install (10.10) has no rc.d folder. it's got rc1.d through rc6.d but no actual rc.d ....  will the "update-rc.d" command still work with that?
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> !boot
[01:49] <iszak> bosyak, ah yeah, you're right.
[01:49] <Nach0z> ah. thank you.
[01:52] <bosyak> how to disable compiz at all?
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> bosyak: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
[01:53] <strav`> bosyak: you can also try to install compiz-fusion that lets you manage this from a try icon.
[01:54] <strav`> bosyak: I'm sorry, I meant: fusion-icon
[01:54] <strav`> and I meant tray
[01:54] <dazonic> Hi I'm trying to get the latest sqlite3, I've run apt-get update && apt-get install sqlite3 but it's only getting 3.4.2 not 3.7
[01:54] <dazonic> what am I forgetting?
[01:55] <rww> dazonic: which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[01:55] <hesco> I'd like to add zabbix-agent to an ubuntu box where /etc/debian-version reads: '4.0'.  Which version of this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=zabbix-agent do I need, please?
[01:55] <induz> is it a chip problem??
[01:56] <induz> I dont have any extra video card
[01:56] <bosyak_> iszak: strav` I disable compiz and now I have two desktops :)
[01:56] <dazonic> rww hardy I believe... is that the problem?
[01:56] <induz> is there some solution to that?
[01:57] <rww> dazonic: Yes. Ubuntu doesn't update to new major versions of software after release, so the current version in hardy repositories is 3.4.2.
[01:57] <rww> !latest
[01:57] <xangua> dazonic: upgrade to lucid if ypu want to have newer software
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | dazonic
[01:57] <danub> hey all, i have 3.6 gigs used in /var/cache/apt/archives. Can i safely delete stuff in that directory?
[01:57] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I give up
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> danub: run:   sudo apt-get clean    it will happen for you
[01:57] <iszak> bosyak_, will have to remember that.
[01:58] <danub> ActionParsnip: ty, ill do that :)
[01:58] <coz_> danub,   or autoclean
[01:58] <strav`> bosyak_: I somehow doubt that you'll be able to plug two keyboards and have one assigned to a screen and vice-versa (for that would really be two desktops).
[01:58] <dazonic> rww, xanga, ubottu thanks heaps! there's no one-liner to upgrade is there? sorry i'm just a drop kick web dev with a vps
[01:59] <coz_> dazonic,   upgrade the current system or upgrade to next version?
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> bosyak_: you can have a dualseater, but you will need another monitor and mouse :)
[02:00] <ahaziah77> need some help with my taskbar, doesnt give me the option to shutdown, reboot etc.....is there any way to fix this glitch?    http://imagebin.org/139197
[02:00] <dazonic> coz_ the current system, from hardy to lucid
[02:00] <hesco> I generally work in debian and am unfamiliar with how ubuntu lables its versions or what relation the /etc/debian-version file (which reads '4.0') might have to the version of ubuntu installed on this box.  Can anyone please advise?
[02:00] <coz_> software or hardware kvm
[02:00] <rww> dazonic: "sudo do-release-upgrade"
[02:00] <eskpados-insane> somebody know how use the arpspoof?
[02:00] <danub> ActionParsnip: you seem to be a pretty knowledgable guy, what do you use to track down disk space?
[02:00] <rww> !upgrade | dazonic
[02:00] <coz_> dazonic,   which version do you have now   in terminal    lsb_release -a
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> danub: there is disk space analyser but I keep my OS trim. You can remove old kernels to regain 120Mb per kernel
[02:00] <bc81> ahaziah77: right-click panel, add, Shutdown
[02:01] <danub> im using du with the max-depth flag, but i need to exclude a few directories under root (windows partitions that are mounted and take forever to du)
[02:01] <hesco> tap, tap, tap.  is this mic on?
[02:01] <dazonic> coz_ no good, zsh: command not found: lsb_release
[02:01] <coz_> hesco,   in terminal     lsb_release -a
[02:01] <danub> ActionParsnip: yeah, im trying to cut back... its at 14 gigs right now and I have no idea where it's hiding all this extra data ;)
[02:01] <coz_> dazonic, mm
[02:01] <hesco> coz_ thanks, will try that
[02:01] <bc81> ahaziah77: sorry, not Shutdown but "Indicator Applet Session"
[02:01] <rww> danub: If you only want du to traverse the current filesystem, use du -x
[02:01] <ahaziah77> bc81, k, is there anyway to actually fix where it is supposed to be though, that adds additional icon
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> danub: run:  uname -a   this is the current kernel
[02:02] <coz_> dazonic,  sorry I apparently gave that command to the wrong person
[02:02] <ahaziah77> bc81, k, lemme give that a try
[02:02] <bc81> ahaziah77: right-click the applets > move
[02:02] <coz_> dazonic,  I believe it would be   sudo update-manager -d
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> danub: run:  dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2    those are the installed kernels
[02:02] <coz_> dazonic,  but check  !upgrade
[02:02] <rww> dazonic, coz_: it's sudo do-release-upgrade for command-line VPSes.
[02:02] <hesco> thanks coz_, it says feisty, 7.04.
[02:02] <coz_> !upgrade | dazonic
[02:02] <Twiggy2cents> I finished my apt-get upgrade and I have packages held back. linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic mythtv-frontend  mythvideo
[02:02] <rww> coz_: the -d switch to update-manager and do-release-upgrade is for upgrading to development releases, and should not be recommended in here.
[02:02] <danub> ActionParsnip: yeah right now i have 2 (plus their recovery). want to make sure this update went good before i remove them
[02:03] <coz_> rww,   ah old habits :)
[02:03] <Twiggy2cents> Any idea why they were held back?
[02:03] <bc81> !panels | ahaziah77 also you can reset the to default with a single command
[02:03] <dazonic> okay sweet hey thanks everyone for your help, incredible community here
[02:03] <Twiggy2cents> I am on mythbuntu 10.04
[02:03] <hesco> my choices of zabbix-agent packages include: hardy, karmic, lucid, maverick, and natty
[02:03] <ahaziah77> bc81, where do i locate the applets, cant find
[02:03] <coz_> dazonic,  good luck on that :)
[02:03] <hesco> which might be closest to an old hardy installation?
[02:03] <marcagio> Hi everyone, here is my problem. I have a PC with an ATI video card, it's connected to a TV via S-Video, I don't have a monitor 'cause all my other pcs are laptops... I boot up with the live CD but as soon as the OS starts the refreshing rate is too fast and I have no clue how I could change it, since everything is fuzzy on my screen
[02:04] <bc81> ahaziah77: try that command, it will reset your panels
[02:04] <mattmatteh> marcagio: using any computer with s video will be painful
[02:04] <mattmatteh> marcagio: no computer display at all ?
[02:04] <MindWarper_> UNITY !
[02:04] <mattmatteh> marcagio: what is your intended use of this once you install gentoo ?
[02:04] <ahaziah77> bc81, k
[02:05] <rww> hesco: If you're using 7.04 as lsb_release says, your system reached end-of-life status in October 2008. It is no longer receiving security updates, and is not supported here. See the following message from ubottu for upgrade information.
[02:05] <rww> !eol | hesco
[02:05] <mattmatteh> marcagio: doh, i forgot i was not in #gentoo, no matter, what is your intended use after you install ubuntu :P
[02:05] <J697> This is a stupid question but, how can I make my computer not turn off if I leave it alone for like a day?
[02:05] <drexl> hello, long question here about wi-fi driver and lubuntu  http://paste.ubuntu.com/570347/
[02:05] <ahaziah77> bc81, cool deal, command worked
[02:05] <coz_> marcagio,  I have never tried this but  when the cd boots to the keyboard logo at the bottom hit "enter" to get to grub menu  then hit "e"  and edit the kernal stanza  with   nomodeset  just before quiet splash   then boot from there   ,,, I have no idea if that will help though
[02:06] <bc81> J697: System >> Preferences >> Power Management
[02:06] <marcagio> mattmatteh, I have the display, it's showing... but the screen is scrolling fast I can't see what i'm doing, but i do see the mouse and everything... I want to watch movies that are stored on another pc on my TV
[02:06] <mattmatteh> coz_: console is hardly useable with s video
[02:06] <J697> bc81, I already tried that
[02:06] <hesco> rww: thanks, understandable.  But I have not been asked to upgrade this machine, only to ascertain if it is still running.  WOuld any of these zabbix-agents work on that old box?
[02:06] <coz_> mattmatteh,  ah   ok   as I said I have no experience with it
[02:07] <J697> bc81, I pressed don't sleep or whatever after 15 minutes, and it still does
[02:07] <send_from_shell> I want to send files from shell to another website
[02:07] <send_from_shell> how can I do it
[02:07] <mattmatteh> coz_: kinda readable, way better than composite
[02:07] <coz_> mattmatteh,  ok .. I will try to keep that in mind
[02:07] <marcagio> coz_ will try
[02:07] <mattmatteh> marcagio: i would suggest fidning a computer display to do the install
[02:07] <bc81> J697: also check your screensaver settings
[02:08] <rww> hesco: If there's a zabbix-agent package in feisty's repositories, ubottu's EOLUpgrades link says how to get access to those repositories (which have been moved to an archive server). If not, we don't support mixing different versions' packages here.
[02:08] <J697> bc81, where are those at?
[02:08] <bc81> J697: System >> Preferences >> Screensaver
[02:08] <mattmatteh> marcagio: i think ubuntu only has a gui installer.  all i can think of is using ssh and installing from another computer, like gentoo, but not sure thats what you want
[02:08] <recoil_> hi everyone. if i use conky, and i want him to display the artist name from rythmbox wich variable do i have to call?
[02:08] <hesco> thanks, will pursue that then
[02:08] <mattmatteh> coz_: i only used s video once on a computer, and mostly from ps2 linux days
[02:08] <danub> ok, time to clean up the /usr/ dir. there is 8.9 gigs in it. what can safely be deleted here?
[02:08] <strav`> I'm going. See ya all.
[02:09] <mattmatteh> danub: shouldnt you be using the package manager to remove old packages ?
[02:09] <bc81> recoil_: i've never tried this, so good luck: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5843297
[02:10] <xtbgod> how can i type ascii characters using Alt + NumPad and type symbols using AltGr + Letter?
[02:10] <danub> mattmatteh: probably, but I dont know how to see the list of the 2200 packages that got downloaded with the upgrade in a terminal.
[02:10] <danub> guess ill reboot to runlevel 5 and use the gui :(
[02:10] <rww> ubottu: tell send_from_shell about crossposting
[02:10] <mattmatteh> danub: you dont want to go deleting files without understanding how the system works
[02:11] <danub> mattmatteh: well i was hoping it was all manpages
[02:11] <mattmatteh> danub: take a look at filelight
[02:11] <send_from_shell> rww ?
[02:11] <crlcan81> especially hidden files with the .*filename*
[02:11] <danub> mattmatteh: but its all in /usr/lib/ and /usr/share, which gets rid of my "just delete the manuals" theory
[02:11]  * send_from_shell ignores ubottu
[02:11] <bc81> xtbgod: you mean you want to type special charcters like ©※℞⊙ ?
[02:12] <hesco> rww: thanks for that.  Its a beautiful thing.  I've never even been able to apt-get update this box since assuming some responsibility for it nearly two years ago.
[02:12] <rww> send_from_shell: Crossposting support questions in multiple IRC channels is rude and against our IRC guidelines. Asking support questions in #ubuntu-offtopic is also rude.
[02:12] <xtbgod> bc81, but by pressing AltGr + Letter or Alt + NumPad ..
[02:12] <mattmatteh> danub: is that really using that much space ?
[02:12] <send_from_shell> rww: ok you are rude
[02:12] <mattmatteh> danub: do you have games installed ?
[02:12] <danub> 3.8 gigs in /usr/lib, and 4.8 in /usr/share/
[02:12] <mattmatteh> danub: that what i noticed taking up alot
[02:13] <danub> mattmatteh: just what was installed by default
[02:13] <rww> send_from_shell: No, I'm just pointing out things you should have read when you joined here and there.
[02:13] <mattmatteh> danub: 8 GB seems high, mine is about 5 here
[02:13] <mattmatteh> with addition apps installed
[02:13] <danub> mattmatteh: yeah, thats why im doing some housecleaning ;)
[02:13] <rww> hesco: You're welcome. Bear in mind that those repositories are frozen in the state they were in when feisty went EOL, so as I said, you're missing security updates.
[02:13] <mattmatteh> danub: thats not the correct way to clean
[02:13] <recoil_> bc81: thanks
[02:14] <crlcan81> Is there any way of expanding your mounted drive's swap space/filesystem space to empty space right beside it without loading liveCD and running gparted?
[02:14] <mattmatteh> crlcan81: how much ram do you have ?
[02:14] <crlcan81> 4 gigs.
[02:14] <danub> yeah, looks like ill have to go thru synaptic to clean some stuff up
[02:15] <mattmatteh> crlcan81: and thats not enough that you need swap ?
[02:15] <crlcan81> If you can learn terminal commands, use sudo apt-get ubuntu-tweak
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: as long as the partition is unmounted, you can manipulate it
[02:15] <bc81> recoil_: i just press and hold ctrl+shift, then type u2299 then let go of ctrl+shift and get ⊙
[02:15] <crlcan81> It's not that, I have free space on the drive I want to recover.
[02:16] <crlcan81> the only way of doing it is via livecd then, so the drive isn't mounted.
[02:16] <crlcan81> Because this is the drive currently being ran.
[02:16] <recoil_> bc81 so???
[02:16] <mattmatteh> crlcan81: oh.  i am not a fan or resizeing, i usually back up, repartition, restore.  infact i am doing that now.  if i could only update ubuntu
[02:17] <crlcan81> Well this is from an old install that wasn't properly finished.
[02:17] <goguda> Hey... could I have some help identifying why I am getting the error: Failed to build newlib (stage: newlib_build) in the terminal? Here's the log of the build: http://pastebin.com/5hYeg2nk It doesn't start from the very top, but I don't think that part is important.
[02:17] <crlcan81> So I finally was able to fix it.
[02:17] <recoil_> bc81: uhm no1 asked that me neither.. xD
[02:17] <bc81> recoil_: so there are some settings in System >> Preferences >> Keyboard >> Layouts >> Options >> Alt/Win Key Behavior
[02:18] <recoil_> i dont want this to know i never aked that
[02:18] <bc81> recoil_: sorry, got your name mixed up with xtbgod
[02:18] <recoil_> xD
[02:19] <crlcan81> In fact I'm about to run live CD now to resize.
[02:20] <clarkrente> boa noite, amigos!
[02:20] <crlcan81> So you can, in fact, expand your filesystem's partition once the freespace has been moved between swap and filesystem? Or can it be incorporated with other keystrokes?
[02:20] <goguda> Nevermind. Stupid me. I think it might be because I don't have some newlib files installed.
[02:20] <crlcan81> I don't know all of gparted's commands, or any other program that does that.
[02:20] <xtbgod> bc81, i read what u said lemme check
[02:21] <ShapeShifter499> what are some ways of running commands at boot as root?
[02:22] <jukelox> So I just upgraded from Hardy to Lucid and the one thing I cannot get installed is libmtp8. dpkg -d=2000 isn't giving me any information at all and none of the bug reports on this topic seem to be resolved.
[02:23] <Loshki> ShapeShifter499: you can put commands into /etc/rc.local and they will be run at boot as root, automatically....
[02:23] <recoil_> bc81: works perfectly thank you :D
[02:23] <jukelox> Does anyone have any experience getting libmtp8 installed on Lucid? Amarok and rhythmbox depend on it.
[02:23] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki, rc.local isn't reliable for me, doesn't run commands most of the time
[02:25] <Loshki> ShapeShifter499: then you're doing something wrong. I don't know of any bugs in this area that would prevent running commands. Wanna pastebin the commands so we can see them?
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> !info libmtp8
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> !info libmtp8 lucid
[02:27] <theperfecttaco> does anyone else have trouble with fullscreen streaming video in maverick?
[02:27] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki http://pastebin.com/ukXRiNx5
[02:27] <Frenk> yes
[02:27] <Frenk> as in yes, i have problems with fullscreen streaming
[02:27] <mickster04> !who
[02:27] <itaylor57> theperfecttaco: no
[02:27] <theperfecttaco> i've tried several fixes listed on various message boards, no luck
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> theperfecttaco: do you mean like youtube?
[02:28] <Frenk> !theperfecttaco   as soon as i fullscreen the vid pauses
[02:28] <jukelox> ActionParsnip: Doesn't appear to be any warnings about libmtp in that info
[02:28] <theperfecttaco> exactly
[02:28] <theperfecttaco> youtube and every other site with streaming video
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> jukelox: it says libmtp is at version 1.0.2-1 in lucid in the main repo
[02:29] <jordan_> hello
[02:30] <jordan_> i dont suppose anyone is on who happens to be pretty efficient with Ubuntu
[02:30] <jukelox> ActionParsnip: libmtp8 is at version 1.0.2-1 in lucid, yes
[02:30] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki still there?
[02:31] <hypatia> jordan_: just ask your question :)
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> jukelox: thats what ubottu said
[02:31] <jordan_> Anybody mind helping me for a minute??
[02:31] <recoil_> dont ask meta questions
[02:31] <jukelox> ActionParsnip: yet it won't install
[02:31] <gunndawg> jordan_, just ask ur question
[02:31] <jordan_> whos Meta
[02:32] <jukelox> !ask jordan_
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> jukelox: ok run: sudo apt-get install libmtp8    and pastebin the output]

[02:32] <recoil_> metaquestions are obsolete like "can somebody help me" or "does anyone know about X)
[02:32] <bc81> jukelox: does this help you? http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/LLXmLQPyZq4ggnmMbyDZ#luyevnGcshO7TLB

[02:33] <induz> why i was not able to set my monitor display on KDE
[02:33] <induz> i can change on Gnome
[02:33] <jordan_> ah, yeh , i dont like asking them but i hadnt seen anybody typing at the moment so wasnt sure if it was a dead chatroom
[02:33] <mickster04> recoil_: use !ask or !anybody
[02:33] <hypatia> jordan_: open a terminal, type lsusb - that will tell you wht kind of wifi chipset you have
[02:33] <induz>  is there any problem on Lucid with KDE
[02:33] <recoil_> ty

[02:33] <recoil_> !ask recoil_
[02:33] <jukelox> bc81: that only helps me hold the package, doesn't help me install it
[02:33] <hypatia> jordan_: let me know what wireless chipset you have; if you're not sure which line is the wifi stick, paste the whole thing into pastebin.com
[02:34] <theperfecttaco> is there an option in XChat to not show joins/quits in the channel window?

[02:34] <jordan_> hey hypatia, how do i do that
[02:34] <recoil_> ahh ok
[02:34] <mickster04> recoil_: yeah you need a pipe
[02:34] <moszer> hello, need help, been trying to upgrade Blender 2.4 to 2.5,ive tried to run the package thru terminal,an error telling me that "the folder isn't empty", can anyone help me please,i am trying to use openshot video that required blender 2.5

[02:34] <recoil_> !anybody | recoil_
[02:34] <Loshki> ShapeShifter499: Your file looks ok, though I don't like the 'sleep 20' in rc.local, as it will cause the entire boot to pause for 20 seconds. I assume the unreliability comes from the same timing issues that caused you to add the sleep in the first place...
[02:35] <hypatia> jordan_: do you know how to open a terminal window?
[02:35] <hypatia> jordan_: applications -> accessories --> terminal
[02:35] <jordan_> Hypatia , yes
[02:35] <hypatia> jordan_: ok now type lsusb
[02:35] <green_> Hello every one, having trouble with my Drivers, I can only get wireless on Ubuntu 10.4 32bit not in 10.10 or any other Linux mint distro, or arch based o.s. for that matter.
[02:35] <jordan_> k
[02:35] <hypatia> green_: what wireless chipset is it?
[02:35] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki well idk, someone else suggested it after rc.local STILL wouldn't run the commands
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> jukelox: is there a bug report for it?
[02:36] <mickster04> moszer: what package?
[02:36] <jordan_> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191S WLAN Adapter
[02:36] <theperfecttaco> green_ i had a similar problem in 10.10 - is your wireless option disabled completely?
[02:36] <jukelox> ActionParsnip: 573444 and 587072
[02:36] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki after some googling.....  couldn't I just add this to the crontab?
[02:36] <induz> maybe my comp can not handle KDE
[02:36] <theperfecttaco> and greyed out
[02:36] <bc81> theperfecttaco:  /SET irc_conf_mode 1
[02:36] <induz> should i download some s/w
[02:37] <jukelox> ActionParsnip: neither have resolutions, neither have any attention from the maintenance team
[02:37] <theperfecttaco> bc81: thanks
[02:37] <hypatia> ok jordan_ now search google or wherever for RTL8191S and ubuntu
[02:37] <linoge> induz: what's your problem?
[02:37] <induz> i need to set my display on KDE with  LUcid
[02:37] <coz_> preinstallation script errors can be PITA   sometimes purging the package can hel p   ..yes?
[02:37] <mickster04> moszer: you can double click .deb's to install them
[02:37] <induz> linoge, I can not change my dispaly/monitor setting to lower from 1284x
[02:37] <moszer> hold on mickster04
[02:37] <Loshki> ShapeShifter499: do the commands not run, or do they run too soon to take effect?. Add some echo "running amixer" >> /tmp/local.log statements to the file to see if they show up in /tmp/local.log....
[02:38] <induz> linoge,  i can change it on Gnome but not on KDE
[02:38] <Loshki> ShapeShifter499: you could use crontab instead, but until you know why it isn't working, you could just end up with the same problem..
[02:38] <nowimproved> I'm trying to install ubuntu with vsphere and am having no luck. It says that it can't find the mirror and just stops at 0 percent when installing?
[02:38] <green_> theperfecttaco: yes its totally disabled
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> jukelox: if there is a bug logged then its a known issue. You'll just have to watch the bugs
[02:39] <moszer> mickster04~its a tar.bz2, should i run it on terminal?
[02:39] <hypatia> jordan_: http://alexsleat.co.uk/2011/02/15/realtek-rtl8191s-in-ubuntu-10-10/ looks to be your answer
[02:39] <induz> 1280x1024[5:4] is set on Gnome but I can not change that on KDE
[02:39] <mickster04> moszer: that is probably best
[02:39] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki ok so add it to rc.local and reboot?   --> echo "running amixer" >> /tmp/local.log s
[02:39] <induz> linoge, 1280x1024[5:4] is set on Gnome but I can not change that on KDE
[02:39] <mickster04> moszer: there will be instructions how to install it
[02:39] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki /s
[02:39] <green_> theperfecttaco: "wifi is disabled by hardware button"
[02:39] <njero> hey all, I am trying to get dvbstream to work for my AverMediaVolorMAX usb card. I can scan channels with w_scan and I can view with "mplayer dvb://ChannelName". When I try to dvbstream though it won't lock
[02:39] <hypatia> jordan_: please keep it in the channel
[02:39] <induz> is some driver missing?
[02:39] <hypatia> green_: you need to flip your wifi switch
[02:40] <hypatia> on your laptop somewhere
[02:40] <jukelox> ActionParsnip: But it's not an issue for everyone, it's a limited scope issue, so I'm asking if anyone here has experience with it.
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> induz: no the drivers is the same
[02:40] <jordan_> ah, sorry, just getting confusing whos comments are going where
[02:40] <jordan_> lol
[02:40] <hypatia> jordan_: see the link i posted a bit ago
[02:40] <jordan_> i got it
[02:40] <green_> hypatia: yea it doesnt respond its a big flashing button next to my power button
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> induz: the settings on the driver in the DE may be different
[02:40] <RedXIII> hey. I'm having a problem with gnome-power-management not detecting that its in a discharge state on my laptop
[02:40] <theperfecttaco> green_: what type of system do you use?
[02:40] <jordan_> so dl that
[02:40] <induz> ActionParsnip, i liked KDE as i want to work on KDEnlive but now caz of this dsplay problem i can not
[02:40] <RedXIII> I run upower --dump and it says its AC-line in
[02:40] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki ok rebooting.... brb
[02:40] <hypatia> jordan_: yup... you'll also need to install the "build-essential" package
[02:40] <RedXIII> Any insight?
[02:41] <moszer> mickster04: thanks,but i did follow the instructions,lastly i copy & paste the code
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> induz: try a clean install of kubuntu
[02:41] <hypatia> in order for those instructions to work, jordan_
[02:41] <green_> theperfecttaco: ubuntu 10.4? or what do you mean?
[02:41] <FuseOnFire> is anyone able to have mental pictures or images in your mind?
[02:41] <jordan_> k, how do i dl it
[02:41] <induz> ActionParsnip, Iupgraded this from karmic?
[02:41] <hypatia> jordan_: use synaptic or apt-get
[02:41] <theperfecttaco> green_: hardware - desktop/laptop? manufacturer?
[02:41] <Loshki> ShapeShifter499: yes, add it then reboot, then look in /tmp/local.log. Maybe add a 2nd line at the end (before the exit 0) like: echo "ran amixer" >> /tmp/local.log so you can make sure the script executes all the way to the end...
[02:41] <induz> now i am on Lucid KDE with Gnome
[02:41] <jordan_> do i need to type a cmd in the terminal
[02:41] <bc81> green_: you have any blocks?  type the command >> rfkill list
[02:41] <hypatia> however you usually install software, jordan_
[02:41] <jordan_> haha, i just migrated from windows this week
[02:41] <mickster04> moszer: well it sounds like you have already unziped the package, you just need to go do the next thing
[02:42] <jordan_> so im an absolute noob with linux right now
[02:42] <green_> theperfecttaco: Laptop 64 bit, compaq presario CQ60
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> induz: from karmic kubuntu?
[02:42] <hypatia> jordan_: at a terminal: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:42] <coz_> jordan_,  this is the place to be then...
[02:42] <hypatia> jordan_: also, welcoem :)
[02:42] <bc81> !ot | FuseOnFire
[02:42] <green_> bc81: no no blocks
[02:42] <jordan_> k, its doing some stuff
[02:42] <theperfecttaco> green_: do you know the maker of your wireless card?
[02:42] <jordan_> thank you btw
[02:43] <mickster04> bc81: in general you can just ignore one off's like that
[02:43] <hypatia> jordan_: if you prefer a graphical interface for installing software, you can use applications --> ubuntu software center
[02:43] <jordan_> microsoft wanted over $600 to put an os on two htpc's, well not from me,lol
[02:43] <bc81> mickster04: will do xD
[02:43] <hypatia> jordan_: i run ubuntu on my htpc, it's lovely :)
[02:43] <jordan_> ah ok, seen that a bit already
[02:43] <hypatia> (and my tablet, and my netbook....)
[02:43] <hypatia> (and my servers...)
[02:43] <green_> theperfecttaco: no but let me check I just had it
[02:44] <hypatia> jordan_: the build-essential package includes some compilers and other tools for building software
[02:44] <jordan_> yeh i will do the same if i can get everything worked out, laptop, server, two htpc's
[02:44] <induz> from karmic ubuntu ActionParsnip
[02:44] <hypatia> which is what you're doing for that wifi card
[02:44] <jordan_> ah, cool
[02:44] <induz> ActionParsnip, Then downloaded KDE desktop plasma
[02:44] <moszer> mickster04: next thing i guess is to :cd" it in the terminal, correct me if i am wrong
[02:44] <canthus13> Any idea why maverick would just randomly go blindingly white for a second and then back to normal?
[02:44] <jordan_> so normally when i need to install something, i compile the driver and stuff myself
[02:44]  * canthus13 has the intel 4500MHD chipset.
[02:44] <hypatia> jordan_: for the htpc make sure you run the vdpau builds of mplayer to do graphics card accelleration for video playback
[02:44] <share> !ftp
[02:45] <mickster04> moszer: yeahg
[02:45] <jordan_> ah ok, maybe u can walk me throught that in a second
[02:45] <share> What is your favorite ftp client?
[02:45] <hypatia> jordan_: normally the drivers are just in the kernel, but for some wifi cards and a few other thigns, you end up needing to build them yourself
[02:45] <theperfecttaco> green_ i think compaq uses atheros
[02:45] <jordan_> back in the terminal the process has finished
[02:45] <hypatia> jordan_: also, plese try mentioning my name (hit tab to complete it) so your messages stick out for me
[02:45] <mickster04> share: a favourite is off topic
[02:45] <canthus13> compaq/hp uses a lot of different chipsets.
[02:45] <share> mickster04: ...
[02:45] <njero> if anyone has a suggestion for a better channel on dvbstream questions too, that would be great
[02:46] <share> Which FTP client do you recommend?
[02:46] <jordan_> Hypatia, gotcha
[02:46] <mickster04> !best
[02:46] <green_> theperfecttaco: yup that one is it
[02:46] <nowimproved> someone give me some proxy information
[02:46] <bc81> share: filezilla
[02:46] <nowimproved> so i can install this please
[02:46] <green_> theperfecttaco: dont have the info on me but that sounds correct
[02:46] <infox> Can someone help me install ubuntu 10.10?  I have a system with 5hdds and I want to install it on /dev/sdc since its the fastest of them all.  After I finish the install and reboot nothing happens, grub doesnt even attempt to load.  I booted into a live disc and reinstalled grub on /dev/sdc, rebooted and still nothing????
[02:46] <share> bc81: k tks
[02:46] <jordan_> test
[02:46] <share> test
[02:46] <jordan_> how do i get them to stick to u
[02:46] <mickster04> infox: you probably don't wanto install grub there, unless your pc boots to it first?
[02:46] <BlueProtoman> Hello.
[02:47] <hypatia> infox: try picking the third drive to boot first in the bios
[02:47] <theperfecttaco> green_: my problem was that there was a miscommunication between the wireless card and the system - the card was telling the system that it was hard disabled when it actually wasn't
[02:47] <coz_> njero,  try  # dbox2
[02:47] <Jordan_U> infox: Are you sure that you're booting from /dev/sdc? What exactly does happen when you try to boot?
[02:47] <BlueProtoman> I'm leaning more and more towards switching to Ubuntu...
[02:47] <infox> It is already selected to boot from that drive
[02:47] <infox> nothing
[02:47] <BlueProtoman> What's the difference between the netbook and desktop versions?
[02:47] <infox> no messages
[02:47] <theperfecttaco> green_: this is a long shot, but try "sudo rmmod -f "compaq_laptop"
[02:47] <infox> it finishes the post and does nothing
[02:47] <njero> coz_: thanks will do
[02:47] <jordan_> Hypatia, how do i get my comments to stick to u again
[02:47] <mickster04> infox: well try the different drives and see if one of them works
[02:47] <infox> :|
[02:48] <hypatia> jordan_: you just did :)
[02:48] <jordan_> lol, i wish, i typed it
[02:48] <hypatia> jordan_: oh hit tab
[02:48] <hypatia> that completes the name
[02:48] <jordan_> test
[02:48] <hypatia> jordan_: so like hyp<tab>
[02:48] <rww> BlueProtoman: The netbook edition has a user interface tailored to netbooks and different default programs. Apart from that, they're the same.
[02:48] <IdleOne> jordan_: type hyp and hit the tab key one time
[02:48] <jordan_> hypatia, ahhhhhhhh
[02:48] <jordan_> got it
[02:48] <green_> theperfecttaco: had no response from terminal
[02:48] <jordan_> hypatia,  got it
[02:48] <nowimproved> Hey. I need a proxy to download ubuntu, anyone please help.
[02:49] <BlueProtoman> Would Ubuntu work on a Dell Inspiron Mini?  I think it's designed to work on a lot of things, but...
[02:49] <hypatia> jordan_: did you get build-essential working?
[02:49] <jordan_> hypatia,  so my terminal has finsihed doing whatever it does
[02:49] <mickster04> !tab
[02:49] <hypatia> BlueProtoman: dell sells minis with ubuntu preloaded, i expect it'll work pretty well
[02:49] <rww> BlueProtoman: It works fine on my Mini 10v.
[02:49] <hypatia> :)
[02:49] <green_> theperfecttaco: nvm now it works
[02:49] <jordan_> hypatia,  dunno, i installed like u mentioned
[02:49] <scott__> kl
[02:49] <dazonic> I just upgraded a VPS to 10.04 and lost ssh access but I do have access via linode's lish.... where should i start
[02:49] <nowimproved> Hey. I need a proxy to download ubuntu, anyone please help.
[02:49] <theperfecttaco> green_: write down that command - i have to use it periodically to re-enable my wireless
[02:50] <hypatia> jordan_: gonna take this to pm as it's a bit complex from here
[02:50] <green_> theperfecttaco: and it says no such file or directory
[02:50] <njero> coz_: was dbox2 a channel name or a tool?
[02:50] <jordan_> hypatia, k
[02:50] <Jordan_U> nowimproved: What do you mean?
[02:50] <theperfecttaco> green_: oh. balls.
[02:50] <coz_> njero,  channel name    type   /join #dbox2
[02:50] <theperfecttaco> green_: it could be that your wireless card has a proprietary driver. check System>Administration>Hardware drivers
[02:50] <nowimproved> Jordan_U, i'm going through vsphere if asks for a proxy or when i'm going to download it just stalls at 0 percent
[02:50] <njero> coz_: yeah I joined, it is empty
[02:50] <green_> theperfecttaco: but im in 10.4 right now, were the wifi works
[02:50] <rww> dazonic: run "sudo service ssh start" and see if you get errors
[02:50] <coz_> njero,  o0
[02:51] <nowimproved> the specified ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not exist.
[02:51] <coz_> njero,   al darn ,,, then google the name of the app +  irc channel   example    gimp irc channel
[02:51] <miel> i am trying to update the crontab file but i don't know how to save the command i am using is "sudo crontab -e -u root"
[02:51] <nateddgg> hi, is there a channel for portable ubuntu
[02:51] <and> jest tu ktos z polski
[02:51] <theperfecttaco> green_: same system? in that case, i don't know..
[02:51] <BlueProtoman> Is Ubuntu for netbooks designed for really, really weak netbooks?
[02:51] <bc81> !pl | and
[02:51] <green_> theperfecttaco: same system
[02:51] <BlueProtoman> Or is my Inspiron Mini good enough for the desktop version?
[02:52] <rww> BlueProtoman: I prefer Desktop on mine.
[02:52] <dazonic> rww:      init: ssh pre-start process (845) terminated with status 1
[02:52] <dazonic> start: Job failed to start
[02:52] <green_> theperfecttaco: I do check the "hardware drivers" but none show, the drivers are installed but there is no comunication in the activate wifi BUTTON.
[02:53] <rww> dazonic: well, that would be why. I'd recommend looking in /var/log and seeing if you can find a more specific error message.
[02:54] <green_> theperfecttaco: I have linux mint (all of them) archbang, frugalware, slax, and many other live CD/DVD but wireless doesnt work with them... well just the activate wireless button
[02:55] <alakhia> what is a good channel to discuss video editing?
[02:55] <theperfecttaco> green_: have you tried "sudo lshw enable <interface>"
[02:55] <green_> theperfecttaco: *well just the activate wireless button" is the one that is stupid
[02:55] <ShapeShifter499> Loshki, I rebooted 4 times and the commands on;y worked 2 times
[02:55] <semitones> is "checkinstall" still the thing to use when compiling from source? or is that soo 2009
[02:55] <ShapeShifter499> *only
[02:56] <recoil_> bc81: thank you very much i managed showing the artist , track, and a cover art thank you very much for your help
[02:56] <bc81> recoil_: welcome :-)
[02:56] <green_> theperfecttaco: no I have not, im writing them all down and going to try them in the other O.S. in a bit
[02:56] <medberry> semitones, I don't know of another tool that accomplishes the same thing
[02:57] <semitones> ok cool :)
[02:57] <RedXIII> Is there a way to get ubuntu to turn off some features automatically when switching from AC power to battery power on mobile devices?
[02:57] <njero> coz_: lol, first hit on google for dvbstream irc help is this channel :)
[02:57] <coz_> njero,   ooo lol
[02:57] <RedXIII> Like instead of using quality compiz, it switches to performance compiz
[02:58] <green_> theperfecttaco: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[02:58] <njero> I'll figure this out.. slowly but surely
[02:58] <theperfecttaco> green_: <interface> will be wlan0 or 1 or eth0 or 1 or something of the sort.
[02:58] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, still there?
[02:58] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, ya
[02:58] <green_> oooo hahaha
[02:58] <green_> ok
[02:59] <alakhia> i basically have mp4 files that i wish to trim and replace the entire audio track with another one
[02:59] <swazzy> anyone know's any website's where i can get icons from?
[02:59] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, I think you're going to need the sleep commands, try putting sleep 10 at the beginning and sleep 5 after each command it's not ideal but I think you should be able to get it to work
[02:59] <green_> theperfecttaco: what is somthing (command) you would do if your wireless activation button was to break?
[02:59] <alakhia> i would like to avoid re-encoding the video to do this. Suggestions?
[02:59] <recoil_> swazzy: gnome-look.org
[02:59] <theperfecttaco> green_: if you have a disable/enable radio button on your keyboard - type "rfkill list" in terminal, hit your radio button and type the command again and see if there's a change in the output
[03:00] <theperfecttaco> green_: do you mean hardware button or a software button?
[03:00] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I've been google-ing  and I'm wondering... why not use crontab
[03:01] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, what's the advantage?
[03:01] <g_0_0> have you got the correct driver for your soundcard?
[03:01] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, yes
[03:01] <green_> theperfecttaco: the physical button
[03:01] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, is it an old soundcard, I've only come across this problem with old machines?
[03:02] <theperfecttaco> green_: sudo lshw -enable <wireless interface> is the terminal command equivalent to the physical button
[03:02] <alakhia> !video editing
[03:02] <mickster04> alakhia: why not use audacity?
[03:03] <alakhia> mickster04: hmm, isn't that just for audio?
[03:03] <mjn> hi all...new to this..
[03:03] <green_> theperfecttaco: thank you, just something I would want to try, in the rfkill list nothing would show up
[03:03] <mickster04> alakhia: oh of course :/ my bad
[03:03] <green_> neather before or after the button
[03:03] <miketomdool> avidemux is good for video editing...
[03:03] <ramon> hi all
[03:03] <mickster04> alakhia: pitivi is included by default
[03:03] <ohsix> alakhia: pitivi comes with ubuntu
[03:03] <miketomdool> go to getdeb.com to get it
[03:03] <Prinler> Anyone think a AIW 9800 would work well with ubuntu? How about XBMC
[03:04] <alakhia> miketomdool: can i trim a video without reencoding? that is what i'm looking for
[03:04] <theperfecttaco> green_: good luck. msg me later if you need any more help, i'll do what i can
[03:04] <mjn> just tried to install cinepaint from source archive....got what looks like some unmet dependencies....good resource for learning how to figure out what they are and resolve?
[03:04] <green_> theperfecttaco: the rfkill list" wouldnt do anything... just would get the same wifi is disabled by hardware button.
[03:04] <ramon> im having problems with wifi: whenever the laptop goes on battery power, the wifi gets really really slow.
[03:04] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, this problem had showed up a few months back when I used pulseaudio to do something, I accidentally muted something and ever since my computer allways booted with the Speaker channel muted
[03:05] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, and prior to that you had no problem?
[03:05] <green_> theperfecttaco: for sure man thank you for all your help btw you got the best Nick name i've seen
[03:05] <ohsix> ramon: tha'ts the wifi going into power saving mode; what chipset? you need to use iwpriv to disable power saving on broadcoam chips with the wl driver, iw should work for all the open source drivers
[03:05] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, yep
[03:05] <theperfecttaco> green_: hahaha, thanks. it's a tom robbins reference :p
[03:05] <miketomdool> alakhia: what video format is it currently in?
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> ramon: are there any bugs logged?
[03:06] <alakhia> miketomdool: i think the canon videocam uses h264 compression
[03:06] <mickster04> alakhia: i don't think that is at all possible? you still have to stitch the sound and video back together again?
[03:07] <ramon> ohsix: how do i do that?
[03:07] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, ok do -> alsactl init   - if the system is correct, try alsactl store and reboot
[03:07] <mufasis> can someone point me in the right direction for how to manage ubuntu server
[03:07] <mickster04> !server
[03:07] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, iirc I switched the output to headphone only in pulseaudio, and then this issue arose
[03:07] <ramon> ActionParsnip:how do i check for bugs?
[03:07] <alakhia> mickster04: i was hoping i could at least trim without reencoding
[03:07] <mickster04> alakhia: I assume you could mute it?
[03:07] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, for a reason?
[03:07] <alakhia> mickster04: perhaps replacing the audio would not be that easy ... and i could do that last
[03:07] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, can you change it back again?
[03:08] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I did change it back
[03:08] <alakhia> mickster04: right, or just drop the audio without re-encoding
[03:08] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, and I did it so sound wouldn't play durring a remote control session
[03:08] <mickster04> alakhia: try it
[03:08] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, sound wouldn't play at home
[03:08] <g_0_0> ok do as I described above, comment out  the lines in rc.local by placing a # at the beginning of each line
[03:09] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, obviously not the exit line
[03:09] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, just the lines you added
[03:09] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, ok
[03:09] <alakhia> thanks ohsix, miketomdool and mickster04
[03:10] <nowimproved> dude seriously i need a mirror for 8.10
[03:10] <nowimproved> please
[03:10] <xangua> nowimproved: 8.10 is no longer supported
[03:10] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, ok now what?
[03:10] <wangxiyue> what is mirror  i'am a new man  :)
[03:11] <alakhia> i'll check out pitivi and avidemux
[03:11] <jukelox> ActionParsnip: The maverick .deb for libmtp8 installed just fine on my lucid box. I think there may be an issue with the package. Is there any way to get the maintainers to put the deb in the old repository?
[03:11] <mickster04> wangxiyue: if you don't know you don't have to say anything
[03:11] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I've all ready tried  alsactl init and alsactl store
[03:11] <miel> when running "sudo crontab -e" how do i save and break out?
[03:11] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, the system just isn't saving any of my audio settings

[03:16] <ramon> how do i permanently disable wifi power management? because "sudo iwconfig eth1 power off" only temporarily disables it.
[03:17] <xangua> fabian: sudo apt-get install msn-pecan
[03:17] <xangua> and change your account from MSN to WLM, it also works on pidgin
[03:17] <rootsecurity> how to  the install Add printer On Linux
[03:17] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, do it without sudo then :)
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> ramon: what module does the interface use?
[03:19] <ramon> ActionParsnip:what you mean by module?...im using the STA driver, if thats what you mean.
[03:19] <drexl> rootsecurity: http://localhost:631/
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> ramon: if you run: sudo lshw -C network   you'll see the driver listed
[03:19] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, everything works till      alsactl: save_state:1532: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for writing: Permission denied
[03:19] <mickster04> zlatan: ?

[03:20] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I'm going to sudo rm this file and start over
[03:20] <zlatan> mickster04, what?

[03:22] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, still getting this error after removing the file
[03:22] <mickster04> zlatan: oh inwhich case you can't get it from there, go to the website for the screen saver see if they have a deb version
[03:22] <rootsecurity> Thank Much
[03:22] <ramon> ActionParsnip:oh i hadnt waited for the command to finish. but i dont see anything about module when i run that command
[03:22] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, one second
[03:22] <mickster04> zlatan: i said that a while ago, i forgot what your question was
[03:22] <scottnyc> what are some must have system software installs for ubuntu 10
[03:23] <zlatan> mickster04, what is the name of that screensaver
[03:23] <hipkat> Hate to barge in, but I have probably an easy question....
[03:23] <coz_> scottnyc,  that is a real "loaded"  question
[03:23] <scottnyc> lol
[03:23] <drexl> scottnyc: vlc
[03:23] <coz_> scottnyc,   what do you like to do?  graphics...music composition... writing  ???
[03:24] <ramon> ActionParsnip: BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY...is that what you meant?
[03:24] <rootsecurity> thank much
[03:24] <ubuntunoob> how do i hide recovery mode in grub2?
[03:24] <nowimproved> http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/
[03:25] <hipkat> anyone here familiar with adb in Ubuntu?
[03:25] <Da|Mummy> anyone have any idea why my wifi keeps dropping?
[03:25] <drexl> rootsecurity: cool I'm guessing you got your printer installed.
[03:25] <coz_> scottnyc,  if you give some idea of your interests  that would helpful :)
[03:25] <Da|Mummy> even if its for a mere 10seconds
[03:25] <Secret1222> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:25] <rootsecurity> i want to the link for add printer no linux
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> ramon: read the rest. There will be a bit saying: driver=
[03:25] <Secret1222> whats this mean
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> Da|Mummy: when it drops, run:  dmesg | tail   and pastebin the output
[03:25] <coz_> Secret1222,  you probably have synaptic opened
[03:26] <Secret1222> and theres no progress  running
[03:26] <Jordan_U> ubuntunoob: Uncomment GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true in /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub".
[03:26] <mickster04> zlatan: i dunno,google it
[03:26] <Secret1222> execpt a folder
[03:26] <Secret1222> firefox and chatzilla
  i want to the link for add printer on linux
[03:26] <coz_> Secret1222,  something is still accessing apt
[03:26] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, ok in light of the fact we have found an easy solution and it was working before try this -->  sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2
[03:26] <rishav> Hey, I wanted to know how to increase the level of RGBA transparency. I have enabled it, but its almost negligible. I'm on Lucid.
[03:26] <Secret1222> like what
[03:26] <ramon> ActionParsnip:oh! its wl0
[03:26] <Secret1222> how do i find out what?
[03:27] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, haven't*
[03:27] <drexl> rootsecurity: please re-phrase the question..
[03:27] <Secret1222> how do i find out what is useing apt
[03:27] <coz_> rishav,  I believe  gnome-color-chooser can help ...but... I have only used it a few times and not sure of all of its settings   you will have to google for that
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> ramon: ok then hunt around to see if there is a module option on wl0 to see if you can turn of power management
[03:28] <xangua> Secret1222: do you have software centre/synaptic running¿
[03:28] <coz_> Secret1222,  well first see if synaptic is opened  if not  you could just restart x   with   ctrl+alt+F1   log in   then    sudo   restart gdm
[03:28] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: you can do it with iw or iwpriv
[03:28] <rishav> coz_: I tried it, but there's only an option to enable/disable. I'v googled this issue too, but only found some unanswered threads. thanks anyways, I'll check it out again in case I missed on something.
[03:28] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, ok
[03:28] <Secret1222> how do i find out if synaptic is running
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: 2 prongs of attack then
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> Secret1222: ps -ef | grep -i syna
[03:29] <coz_> rishav,  I know gnome-color-chooser has a metacity  tab I believe it was...that is where the rgba can be adjusted
[03:29] <Guest75341> Yay, the filesystem and swap are expanded.
[03:29] <rishav> coz_: okayy thnx :)
[03:29] <coz_> rishav,  or look in   gconf-editor
[03:30] <Secret1222> harley@Harley:~$ ps -ef | grep -i syna
[03:30] <Secret1222> harley    4072  4040  0 14:29 pts/3    00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i syna
[03:30] <Secret1222> whats that
[03:30] <rishav> coz_: ok I'll do that too.
[03:30] <dataviruset> someone here good at NUT (ups monitoring software)? i'm trying to attach my working driver ("blazer_usb") to it (which i know works)

[03:31] <jordan_> high
[03:31] <hypatia> jordan_: keep the files around - if you upgrade to a new kernel, you'll need to do the make/sudo make install part again
[03:31] <jordan_> i will test in  a minute which will require me to unplug but just wantedt to let u know
[03:32] <jordan_> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, dangit
[03:32] <jordan_> lol

[03:36] <bill> someone help me with fileshar‌ing
[03:36] <bill> please
[03:36] <drexl> bill: add your user to the group which you would like to share with
[03:36] <chikokishi> I just installed ubuntu 10.10 again, i am afraid to update it because everytime i do i get internet errors, sound problems, and two ubuntu loaders.  Help?
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> bill: install samba and you can use nautilus to share folders
[03:37] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: if you attempt to enable shared folders it will offer to install all the right parts
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> chikokishi: 2 ubuntu loaders? Don't you mean 2 kernels?
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: I don't trust stuff like that, I advise the ways I know it will work
[03:38] <Secret1222> http://paste.ubuntu.com/570371/
[03:38] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: heh
[03:38] <chikokishi> ActionParship, sure.  The menu that comes up when you turn the computer on and you decide between windows and ubuntu
[03:38] <Secret1222> look
[03:38] <bill> i have samba installed but its not working
[03:38] <chikokishi> i have 2 ubuntu options.  But right now i only have one (before updating)
[03:38] <Roasted> about to punch rhythmbox in the face
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> chikokishi: yes, one is an updated kernel. If the new kernel is ok (test it a few days) then you can remove the older kernel if you want to save ~120Mb space
[03:38] <bill> says the packages are not installed that i need
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> bill: in nautilus you can right click folders and share them
[03:39] <bill> but the package manager says that samba is installed
[03:39] <Secret1222> so how come that error is comeing up
[03:39] <bill> i get a 255 error
[03:39] <JeffCBR> ll
[03:39] <Secret1222> http://paste.ubuntu.com/570371/
[03:39] <Secret1222> look
[03:39] <Secret1222> how do i fix it
[03:39] <chikokishi> ActionParsnip what exactly is a kernel?  Also. as i said my errors dont start till after the update.  I lose internet in one, and sound in the other
[03:40] <chikokishi> My computer just froze, i cant click anywhere but in this dialog =(
[03:40] <Secret1222> whats  syna
[03:40] <Secret1222> thats what it said
[03:40] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | chikokishi
[03:41] <Jordan_U> chikokishi: Hopefully it won't be needed, but keep that information handy in case it is.
[03:41] <kj6lxu> y is it when i start a torrent it starts downloading at 1.2 mbps but then slows to 600 kbps ??
[03:41] <g_0_0> Roasted, have you still not got rhythmbox and your sansa to work?
[03:41] <Roasted> no
[03:42] <Roasted> its a piece of garbage
[03:42] <Roasted> I got it to work on about 3 occasions
[03:42] <karabaja4> logout
[03:42] <g_0_0> which sansa is it?
[03:42] <Roasted> but it's been the most inconsistent piece of garbage ever
[03:42] <Roasted> fuze
[03:42] <Roasted> rhythmbox is like that part time punk employee at burger king who only shows up to work half of the time
[03:42] <Roasted> oh hi, I see your music
[03:42] <Jordan_U> kj6lxu: Does it only happen with bittorrent or does it also happen with other downloads (like http)?
[03:42] <Roasted> LOL JUST KIDDING NOT ANYMORE
[03:42] <FloodBot1> Roasted: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:42] <Roasted> shut up
[03:42] <g_0_0> have you got the mtp plugin enabled in rhythmbox?
[03:42] <Roasted> yes, but I'm not even using MTP
[03:43] <chikokishi> Thanks jordan, i pagemarked it
[03:43] <madmn> i have samba installed and i am still getting errors when i try and share a folder help please
[03:43] <Roasted> it wont mount as MTP. It says something about a camera being locked. Yet this thing doesn't have a camera?????????
[03:43] <kj6lxu> jordan_U : with all downloads
[03:43] <g_0_0> Roasted, disable the plugin and use msc
[03:43] <ohsix> Roasted: cammeras are MTP devices too; something else might have it open if it says that
[03:44] <ohsix> (like banshee, if you have rb and banshee running at the same time)
[03:44] <chikokishi> IF i update my system is there a way to go back to the un updated version?
[03:44] <hypatia> chikokishi: there is, but it's annoying
[03:44] <hypatia> chikokishi: it's easy for individual packages, though
[03:44] <Roasted> ohsix, banshee isn't open from what I see. sys monitor says nothing abou ti.
[03:44] <Roasted> its refreshing now, I disabled ipod and MTP and I'm going to try it again.
[03:44] <Jordan_U> kj6lxu: It sounds like your ISP is trying to make it appear that you are getting the full speed you payed for by allowing bursts of high bandwidth then throttling if you try to sustain that speed. Read your contract carefully / contact your ISP to confirm what service you are really getting.
[03:45] <ubuntunoob> can someone help me with a weird problem? for some reason I can connect to MSN with Pidgin and amsn but I get an error in Empathy
[03:45] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, still not working
[03:45] <kj6lxu> Jordan_U: tnx for the help
[03:45] <Jordan_U> kj6lxu: You're welcome.
[03:45] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, it is still muted upon reboot
[03:45] <xangua> ubuntunoob: sudo apt-get install msn-pecan
[03:45] <xangua> works for pidgin & empathy, restart them and change your MSN accout to WLM
[03:46] <rww> Jordan_U: good call. Comcast does do that.
[03:46] <ubuntunoob> thank you xangua
[03:46] <Roasted> big surprise. didn't work.
[03:46] <Roasted> importing 0/0, except theres 1100 songs on it. awesome.
[03:46] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, ok try unmuting now and reboot again, see if it sticks this time
[03:46] <xangua> ubuntunoob: latest pidgin also works but it has some issues currently with msn
[03:47] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, should I run aslactl store?
[03:47] <ShapeShifter499> no I'm just going to reboot now brb
[03:48] <g_0_0> Roasted, you have got the latest firmware on your fuze?
[03:48] <Roasted> not only do I have the latest firmware, but I dual boot it with rockbox firmware too
[03:48] <Roasted> WEEEEEEEEEE
[03:48] <bc81> question, is it possible to increase the overall bluetooth buffer size?  i have bluetooth headphones, and when i walk more than 10 feet away from the computer, the audio starts dropping out.
[03:48] <Roasted> g_0_0, I can put music on it, don't get me wrong. But I want to set up PLAYLISTS, and rhythmbox does that. Tha's why I want to use it.
[03:48] <Roasted> I have no clue why rhythmbox is being like this.
[03:48] <Stevezau> ffs
[03:49] <Stevezau> why is gdm still startin??
[03:49] <Stevezau> i told it to not load on startup
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> bc81: if its a class 3 device then that's its effective range: http://www.blueunplugged.com/What-is-Bluetooth.aspx
[03:50] <Diamondcite> Roasted: I've been wondering.. Does a playlist actually physically COPY the files?
[03:50] <Diamondcite> Roasted: I've seen people move their itunes playlist to their ipod.. as in just the playlist... without the files...
[03:50] <Roasted> Diamondcite, no
[03:50] <Roasted> it doesnt duplicate the file space
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> Diamondcite: no, its just a list of the media to play and sometimes where it is
[03:50] <Roasted> Diamondcite, it just creates a file the gizmo references
[03:51] <Diamondcite> Roasted: Have you ever compared one of your sansa's playlist files with your own creations?
[03:52] <Roasted> Diamondcite, I've only made playlists in rhythmbox cause it was the only program that worked, until rhythmbox decided to stop working all together
[03:52] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, it still muted
[03:52] <bilios> hi
[03:52] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, well not muted but it comes up with the sound turned all the way down in alsamixer
[03:52] <Diamondcite> Roasted: Do you still have one of those working playlists around to compare them with to see what is different? (it doens't help that I don't use rythmbox...)
[03:52] <Roasted> Diamondcite, yes, theres 2 playlists on the device itself.
[03:53] <Roasted> Diamondcite, whats the point tho? I dont want to create playlists ON the device. I want to create them in a program because its much more efficient
[03:53] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, was the sound down when you rebooted, you could try adjusting the sound to the required volume and rebooting
[03:53] <g_0_0> Roasted, have you seen this -> http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/sandisk-sansa-fuze/rhythmbox
[03:53] <Riobe> Hello all. :) I'm looking to switch to Linux and my main time waster will be some Java programming. Is Ubuntu a distro that's well suited for this goal?
[03:53] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, yes, and I have
[03:53] <Nitrohax> Riobe, yes
[03:53] <Roasted> g_0_0, I saw that I should create an EMPTY file named that, but never with the contens like that
[03:53] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, it won't save my changes
[03:54] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, ok let me think about that
[03:54] <Diamondcite> Roasted: Well I'm curious as to how it's writting the file link.. maybe it is now writting /home/roasted/Desktop/music/01-Hello_World.mp3 instead of 01-Hello_World.mp3 ?
[03:54]  * Sifo Hello all
[03:54] <Nitrohax> Riobe, how are you going to install it?
[03:55] <Riobe> Nitrohax: Probably do a live boot for a day or so to get the feel of it then reformat my machine and make it the only OS.
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> Diamondcite: you can make playlists of folder contents using ls, as well as the dir command in windows
[03:55] <Diamondcite> ActionParsnip: I am mainly trying to figure out why Roasted's playlist is no longer working as desired.
[03:56] <Nitrohax> Riobe, that will work but you can do a WUBI install and have a perm. and not change the file structure of your partition
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> Diamondcite: depends how the device reads and/or makes playlists
[03:56] <Roasted> Diamondcite, the playlist works. rhythmbox just doesnt detect any music on the device.
[03:56] <whitefire> Help me about Hybrid Graphics with switcheroo. I'm using acer aspire 5745G
[03:56] <Roasted> Diamondcite, once I can get rhythmbox working as, you know, a normal music program, I can carry on with my playlist creations
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: try this:  cd /folder/of/songs; ls *.mp3 > ./playlist.m3u
[03:56] <Diamondcite> Roasted: And the only requirement is to have to look else where for music?
[03:56] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, have you tried alsactl store again?
[03:57] <MrDetail> does anyone know why   grep [A-Z]   would return lines without caps even if there is no match?
[03:57] <crlcan81> Can someone help me with properly installing burg? I've got the first necessary sudo commands, adding the ppa, updating repositories, then installing from the new repository, but I don't know for sure where the master boot record is located so burg can install.
[03:57] <Riobe> Nitrohax: I broke my filesystem into two partitions when I installed Windows, and I'd like to get back down to 1. I haven't heard of WIBI install yet, so I'm not sure if I can change partitioning with that kind of install.
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: copy /folder/of/songs to the device then see if playlist.m3u exists/works
[03:57] <Roasted> Diamondcite, if I can have a program that *works* and can make and create playlists, I'd be happy. But besides banshee, there are none I have found on linux. But! Banshee, when I create playulists, it doesnt "save" to the device. If I go to the sansa, banshee playlists come up empty. only rhythmbox playlists work.
[03:57] <Nitrohax> Riobe, you wouldn't need to change it
[03:57] <Roasted> Hence my insane frustration.
[03:57] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, the playlist works...
[03:57] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, my issue is getting rhythmbox to detect the music.
[03:58] <Roasted> It says importing 0/0, when there are over a thousand songs on the thing.
[03:58] <Riobe> Nitrohax: Methinks I should figure out what a WUBI install is. To scholar Gugle!
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: i dont use rhythmnbox so I'm not much help here. I always manually make them using ls
[03:58] <whitefire> I haven't folder call /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[03:58] <Riobe> Thanks for giving me something to look up. :)
[03:58] <whitefire> I haven't folder call /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch can I create?
[03:59] <Nitrohax> Riobe, it's on the live cd already. if you put the live cd in it's on there. it's a way where ig you don't like it add/remove programs and it come off
[03:59] <MiladKhajavi> HELP: How can I set pidgin to notify new message with gnome notification? any plugin ?
[04:00] <Diamondcite> Roasted: Can you open the Sansa with a file manager and actually see the music?
[04:00] <mickster04> MiladKhajavi: have you looked at the included plug ins?
[04:00] <adamruffolo> whitefire: did you try "mkdir"?
[04:00] <Roasted> Diamondcite, sure can.
[04:00] <mickster04> MiladKhajavi: also don't sound so dramatic
[04:00] <pinoyoragon> Can somebody recommend a web-based/console download manager so I can manage download from remote?
[04:00] <Nitrohax> Riobe, let me know what you find
[04:00] <Diamondcite> Roasted: And Inside rythmbox, right click music, Import Folder, Navigating to the same place with the graphical navigation and then clicking import.. doesn't work?
[04:00] <Yoha> Greets
[04:01] <MiladKhajavi> mickster04: Yes, but dont like sound notification, I like gnome notification
[04:01] <Riobe> Nitrohax: Thanks. Will do. :)
[04:01] <juabn> how work ubuntu wubi?
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> MiladKhajavi: there is the notify plugin which is enabled by default
[04:01] <mickster04> MiladKhajavi: yeah I think there will be one include, if it isn;t on already
[04:01] <Roasted> Diamondcite, nope. It doesnt even show anything in my device within rhythmbox
[04:01] <xangua> MiladKhajavi: activate libnotify plugin
[04:01] <juabn> work slow
[04:01] <juabn> i don't know why
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> pidgin rocks
[04:02] <juabn> wubi is simil  virtualbox
[04:02] <juabn> ??
[04:02] <MiladKhajavi> xangua: Oh yes yes I forgotten the name of this plugin. thanks thanks alottttttt
[04:02] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, oh.... sorry didn't see your post till now
[04:02] <Diamondcite> Roasted: Can you please type the path you are using to reach it with in rythmbox here?
[04:02] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, no I haven't
[04:02] <whitefire> adamruffolo: mkdir: cannot create directory `/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo': Operation not permitted
[04:02] <Stupendoussteve> juabn: No, wubi doesn't run in a virtual machine, you have to reboot into Ubuntu
[04:02] <mickster04> whitefire: sudo it
[04:02] <adamruffolo> whitefire: are you running as root?
[04:02] <Yoha> I'm having a problem with this network install; I've got an old machine booting with pxe; The installer wont download files off of my lan server (I have the iso mounted in /ubuntu) ... in the install debug its because it can't access the md5 sums from a release site.  Anyone have any suggestions on how I can complete this install?  (Btw, no cd drive, won't boot off of USB)
[04:02] <whitefire> yes
[04:02] <rww> juabn: no. Virtualbox guests run inside a virtualized environment. Wubi installs run on the actual hardware, without a VM between them, but installs to a loopback filesystem instead of a normal partition.
[04:02] <Roasted> Diamondcite, there is one thing that strikes me as odd.
[04:02] <mickster04> whitefire: sudo !! to run the last ocmmand as sudo
[04:03] <Nitrohax> juabn, kinda, wubi installs ubuntu on the windows partition. it has a boot loader and if you don't like it go to add/remove programs and remove it
[04:03] <Aikar> anyone recommend a panel applet for managing volume that works with the base audio drivers and not pulseaudio? had to uninstall pulseaudio cause it distorts sound
[04:03] <whitefire> mickster04: yes
[04:03] <Roasted> Diamondcite, my sansa used to come up labeled as "SANSA FUZE". I formatted it within the sandisk interface, and now it comes mounted as 1234-5678. it creates a folder with those numbers.
[04:03] <Roasted> Diamondcite, that's around the time my issues started.
[04:03] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, you could give it a go, see what happens, make sure you have the parameters set as you want them first
[04:03] <whitefire> mickster04: bonsai@Aspire-5745G:~$ sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo
[04:03] <halaszvarig> I just created a simple Xubuntu bluebird like chrome theme (only the frame color was changed to match the color from the theme): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hedddjdackneeciinimepakidindpgdd
[04:03] <whitefire> mkdir: cannot create directory `/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo': Operation not permitted
[04:03]  * Nitrohax is going to party with the amish
[04:03] <Aikar> and is there a site to find more applets (ie a site specific to applets in general)
[04:03] <Nitrohax> stupid file transfer vbox @#$%^&*(&^%$#@!%#$%^&*(&^%$#@
[04:03] <Roasted> Diamondcite, but if I go to gparted to try to rename the label of it, it says the disk is unallocated. Someone told me its sandisk's way of "protecting" the device.
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> Aikar: if you use a dock like avant window navigator, there are volume managers for that
[04:03] <mickster04> whitefire: dod you tab complete that?
[04:03] <Riobe> Nitrohax That makes more sense now. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm looking to get out of using Windows at home.
[04:04] <liveCD> hola
[04:04] <Riobe> Nitrohax, So I'm sure that I want Windows nuked.
[04:04] <Diamondcite> Roasted: Now why would you want to use a sandisk tool on something working to begin with >.>
[04:04] <scottnyc> i wanna install apache, php and mysql will this work? correctly ? sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-xsl php5-gd php-pear libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql
[04:04] <MichaelDeaton> Hello does anyone here know how to install FlightGear on Ubuntu 10.10?
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> !lamp | scottnyc
[04:04] <Nitrohax> Riobe, just incase you don't like it. but you want it nuked full install it, why partition. back your music and videos up thouhg. LOL
[04:04] <Roasted> Diamondcite, I used the format tool because of another issue I was having with it.
[04:04] <Roasted> Diamondcite, but then rhythmbox took a bomb after tha.
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: its in the playdeb ppa
[04:04] <Roasted> Diamondcite, I flahsed the thing to the latest firmware, etc. I just have no clue. I'm so close to buying a new one, but that's a ridiculous answer.
[04:05] <MichaelDeaton> I tried installing it and it said, "flightgear:  Depends: libalut0 (>=1.1.0-1) but it is not installable  Depends: libopenscenegraph65 (>=2.8.3) but it is not installable  Depends: libopenthreads13 (>=2.8.3) but it is not installable  Depends: libplib1 (>=1.8.5-1) but it is not installable  Depends: simgear2.0.0 but it is not going to be installed  "
[04:05] <Diamondcite> Roasted: Maybe that numbered partition is a ghost? Have you tried doing "ls /media/1234-5678" while it's mounted?
[04:05] <Riobe> Nitrohax: Heheh, yeah, that I will be doing. I have a spare tower I can move stuff over to temporarily.
[04:06] <Roasted> Diamondcite, when the thing is plugged in MCP mode or whatever it is, yes it has a directory there.
[04:06] <Nitrohax> Riobe, use one of those all in one hd readers for usb. I have a ide and a sata hot swap port. But i fix to many computers
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: then you need deb files or a reop with those files to satisfy deps
[04:06] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, ok rebooting
[04:06] <MichaelDeaton> But I dunno how to get them.
[04:06] <MichaelDeaton> :C
[04:06] <Hellz_Bellz> do the ubuntu source repos contain unmodified source code or is it optimised for ubuntu spicifically?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: if you can pastebin all the text I can try and find deps for you
[04:06] <MichaelDeaton> pastebin?
[04:06] <Diamondcite> Roasted: Could you try various modes of access until one of them actually yields a fully listed direction inside a terminal?
[04:06] <Nitrohax> !pastebin
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: yes, copy all the text and use http://pastie.org to store them
[04:07] <Roasted> Diamondcite, I'm not sure I understand what you just said.
[04:07] <MichaelDeaton> sorry I just started using ubuntu about two days ago.
[04:07] <MichaelDeaton> still getting use to it.
[04:07] <MichaelDeaton> I like it a lot better than windows.
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: pastebin isnt ubuntu specific
[04:08] <Aikar> if SMART detects an hdd has a few bad sectors, it shouldnt ever try to write to them right? i just reinstalled my OS yesterday to fix my hard system freeze issue, now it just happened again :/ i noticed hdd i got ubuntu installed on has 17 bad sectors
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> Aikar: I'd get a new drive PDQ
[04:08] <Aikar> well i got other drives i can put ubuntu on, but yeah dont wanna lose data
[04:08] <ohsix> Aikar: if they aren't being reallocated then it's at the end of its useful life
[04:08] <adamruffolo> whitefire: you may need to change the permissions on the /debug/ folder
[04:08] <MichaelDeaton> http://pastie.org/1592199
[04:08] <MichaelDeaton> That?
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> Aikar: then you should have backups in place
[04:09] <Riobe> Does anyone here know how ubuntu compares to Fedora as far as being suited for programming? The community seems to be a hell of a lot more active judging by IRC channels, but I don't know about the distro.
[04:09] <Aikar> it says "reallocated sector count, value 17 sectors, threshold 36", smart is still listed as passed.
[04:09] <Nitrohax> aikar, you have open sata ports? install on the new drive and then place in the old drive with a sata and move files that way
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Riobe: its fine, there is the build-essential which will install c and c++ compiling environments
[04:09] <maco> Riobe: if you're not doing ruby, i dont think it really matters.  the ruby community hates debs though
[04:09] <cfedde> Riobe: linux is pretty much linux.  the diffrences will mostly be minor.
[04:10] <Hellz_Bellz> i love ubuntu and i program in truby
[04:10] <Riobe> I see.
[04:10] <Aikar> i got enough room to get the files off really, but ANY bad sector = sign of disk failing?
[04:10] <scottnyc> how do i check the version of something in terminal again? verion --python right?
[04:10] <Hellz_Bellz> its a matter of "does it work with little fuss?"
[04:10] <maco> Hellz_Bellz: i think its the directory into which gems get installed that annoys other rubyists
[04:10] <Hellz_Bellz> of yes use it
[04:10] <Hellz_Bellz> if
[04:10] <ohsix> Aikar: ok if they are reallocated then it's fine
[04:10] <Riobe> I don't mind a bit of fuss as long as it's manageable.
[04:10] <Hellz_Bellz> :/ should it matter so long as its in the path?
[04:10] <Nitrohax> linux is linux, unix is linux with out the L and windows i sbs
[04:10] <maco> Hellz_Bellz: i went with just adding that directory to my path, and then everything was happy and i thought they were silly
[04:11] <ohsix> Aikar: if that 17 keeps growing while you use the disk part of it could be damaged,  it might stabilize though
[04:11] <MichaelDeaton> This? http://pastie.org/1592199
[04:11] <scottnyc> whats the terminal command for checking the verssion of something?
[04:11] <Hellz_Bellz> maco i didnt even need to add it to the path actually it just gives the error somehow
[04:12] <Hellz_Bellz> everything just works
[04:12] <Hellz_Bellz> lol
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: cool, gimme a sec
[04:12] <ohsix> scottnyc: apt-cache show, or apt-cache policy
[04:12] <MichaelDeaton> Alright.
[04:12] <Nitrohax> Aikar, spinrite will move them for you if it can
[04:12] <maco> Hellz_Bellz: ok then :)
[04:12] <Aikar> well im having a weird damn issue. flash kept hard freezing system where REISUB couldnt even reboot the system, soi thougt maybe its cause i moved hdd with ubuntu on it to a new system entirely, although it mostly worked fine i reinstalled, and flash no longer crashes, but i just got a random freeze out of nowhere no flash this time
[04:12] <Hellz_Bellz> is the source code in the ubuntu repos ubuntu specific or can i use the repos for a different source based distro?
[04:12] <maco> Hellz_Bellz: im not really a rubyist. i was installing diaspora on my server, which is not running the latest ubuntu
[04:12] <scottnyc> ohsix whats the one that looks like this version --python3
[04:12] <ohsix> Aikar: nvidia blob?
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: what is the output of:  lsb_release -d   please
[04:12] <Aikar> only real diff is that i uninstalled pulseaudio and rebooted then it happened
[04:13] <c1truz> assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabrakatuh
[04:13] <Aikar> ohsix: blob? was nvidia drivers before, i havent installed nvidia now, running on default.
[04:13] <maco> Hellz_Bellz: you can run "dpkg -x foo.dsc" if you have a source package to break it back out into the tarballs it came from
[04:13] <scottnyc> assuming i was checking the version of python 3 ohsix

[04:14] <MichaelDeaton> Uhhh How do I know?
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> !info libalut0 maverick
[04:14] <Hellz_Bellz> maco im not on linux atm, does it download the dependencies too?
[04:14] <maco> Hellz_Bellz: no
[04:14] <Hellz_Bellz> hmmm
[04:14] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, not working STILL
[04:14] <Hellz_Bellz> not much use
[04:14] <maco> Hellz_Bellz: "apt-get source foo" just gets the foo source package
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: use software centre, click edit ->software sources and tick the universe reo to enable it
[04:14] <Hellz_Bellz> i want something that will track dependencies for source code
[04:14] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, are you running 10.10?
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: may just fix you up
[04:14] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, yes
[04:15] <Hellz_Bellz> i dont wanna have to go all over the internet to get my code
[04:16] <saty> hello all, i just installed moovida in maverick. the screen is kinda thinned in the middle doesnt occupy the whole screen...any ideas ?
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: simgear2.0.0 is available on the playdeb repo
[04:16] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, are you using a laptop?
[04:16] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, yep
[04:16] <bc81> when i turn on these bluetooth headphones, the volume icon does not control the headphone volume until i go to sound preferences, and select the headphones in the output tab.  so how i can i force ubuntu to control the headphone volume as soon as it's detected?
[04:17] <ohsix> saty: try hitting alt enter
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDeaton: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/getdeb_games?dist=maverick    shows how to add it
[04:17] <madmn> by default what port does ssh and ftp use in ubuntu
[04:17] <MichaelDeaton> trying that now
[04:17] <ohsix> madmn: the same ones used everywhere, 22 and 21
[04:17] <saty> ohsix: it goes full screen, however the gui is kinda slimmed in the middle
[04:18] <ohsix> saty: weird
[04:18] <madmn> okay i can't ftp into ubuntu using 21
[04:18] <Aikar> madmn: neither are installed by default, sudo apt-get install openssh-server, and dont use FTP, use SFTP
[04:18] <madmn> but i can using 22
[04:18] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, Acer Aspire 7540-1284, AMD Athlon II X2 M300 Processor, ATI Radeon HD 4200 Graphics Card, 320 gigs or storage, 3 gigs ram
[04:18] <ohsix> madmn: ports being blocked by your isp?
[04:18] <Aikar> SFTP uses SSH port, port 21 is "please hack me" standard FTP port
[04:18] <saty> ohsix: ya and the fonts are overlapping vertically
[04:18] <madmn> they could be
[04:19] <madmn> but i did forward like port 1234 to port 22
[04:19] <madmn> and tried it that way
[04:19] <g_0_0> ShapeShifter499, it may be an idea to search for you laptop model and this problem, it may be a bug
[04:20] <EnigmaticCoder> madmn: Did you give ssh the -p 1234 option?
[04:20] <madmn> how else can i do it if they are blocking the port
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> Aikar: you can change ports used easily
[04:20] <joobie> guys im trying to rebuild a RAID1+0 within a livecd and i get "ERROR: disk /dev/sda cannot be used to rebuilding"

[04:22] <EnigmaticCoder> madmn: What is your Port set to in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[04:22] <madmn> i am using putty and it asks for the port i can ssh fine its ftp that is not working right
[04:22] <EnigmaticCoder> madmn: Are you using ftp or sftp?
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> madmn: you can connect to FTP servers using firefox etc
[04:23] <crlcan81> Any specific package, or does it matter?
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> madmn: you can use filezilla in windows to connect to SFTP
[04:23] <Aikar> madmn: ensure your using the SFTP function of your client and not FTP
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> madmn: if you have SFTP then you don't need FTP
[04:23] <madmn> port 22
[04:24] <bastidraZor> madmn: you can use winscp to transfer files via port 22
[04:24] <madmn> i have filezilla runnign
[04:26] <esiri> hii, first need say to  accept my apologize for bad english, i used ubuntu 10.04, have shutdown issues , i did read some from topic about power off, i did add acpi=off in  /etc/default/grub  and that "noacpi nolapic acpi=off"  after i did update grub but dont be shut down never normalize, i can turn off only with

[04:30] <jimlovell777> why is dvd burning so slow (1.1x)? We're talking 40 minutes. With this same drive and discs it's under 4 minutes. I would just use Windows for burning but it's since been demoted to a VM. What's the deal?
[04:30] <Nitrohax> jimlovell777, nice flight on apollo 13 but dvd drives are dual layer and more info
[04:31] <esiri> ruffdog i dont understand you ?? i sent my isuues msg again cause i get disconnected i tougth maybe your dont see my msg
[04:31] <dorin_> hey
[04:31] <ruffdog> esiri: you are having troubles shutting down?
[04:31] <Diamondcite> For those curious the solution to Roasted's problem where a Sandisk Sansa's music wasn't showing in Rhythmbox, the playlist.xml and rhythmdb.xml had to be removed from ~/.local/share/rhythmbox
[04:31] <rww> esiri: freenode has a message length limit. Yours ended with "i can turn off only with"
[04:32] <Riobe> esiri: The msg I saw you send stopped in the middle of a sentence.
[04:32] <esiri> ruffdog yes
[04:32] <dorin_> does anyone know anything about using "curl"?
[04:32] <esiri> rww understand
[04:32] <Roasted> And for those curious about my issue I didn't just remove the playlist and rhythmdb file but I just cut and pasted the entire folder on my desktop. I hate deleting stuff without being positive, but nonetheless, Diamondcite nailed it on the head. :)
[04:32] <jimlovell777> Nitrohax: I cut myself off. The same discs (literally - DVD+R 4.7GB) burn completely in 4 minutes when I used Windows7 on this computer but take 40+ under Ubuntu. Why?
[04:32] <dorin_> I'm trying to find out where curl downloads everything to.
[04:32] <dorin_> Any ideas?
[04:32] <rww> dorin_: the current directory
[04:33] <Nitrohax> maybe a driver issue or something?
[04:33] <ruffdog> esiri: did you try typing "shutdown"
[04:33] <dorin_> I've looked in there, and it hasn't put anything in there
[04:33] <esiri> ruffdog yes
[04:33] <strigoi66> dorin_: try opening console and typing (whereis curl) without braces
[04:33] <Nitrohax> jimlovell777, I'm thinking maybe a dirver issue. what are you using to burn?
[04:33] <esiri> ""shutdown"
[04:33] <dorin_> alright.
[04:34] <ruffdog> esiri: okay.  Is there a specific error message you get?  Or do you click "shutdown" and nothing happens?
[04:34] <dorin_> ah /usr/bin/curl
[04:34] <dorin_> Going to look in there.
[04:34] <jimlovell777> Nitrohax: Whatever comes with a plain Ubuntu 10.10 install. I put in a blank disc and drag a file over and click Burn
[04:34] <michaelxq> anyone knows LBRC program?

[04:35] <ruffdog> michaelxq: not me.
[04:35] <Nitrohax> jimlovell777, I've had goo dluck with basero I think that's what you might be using. There are couple others that you can try too.
[04:36] <esiri> ruffdog i cant shut down my comp with shutdown botton , sudo halt or shutdown now command, said powerdown now but my fan working
[04:36] <dorin_> curl http://yeeeeee.com/imagebank/BlackBerry_Bold_9000_Wallpapers/BlackBerry%20Bold%209000%20Wallpaper%[201-400].jpg
[04:36] <dorin_> is that the right way of using curl?
[04:37] <dorin_> I'm trying to download all the pictures ranging from 201-400 with curl.
[04:37] <michaelxq> ruffdog, can you tell me the process to install a program .tar.gz
[04:38] <ruffdog> esiri: try "sudo shutdown -h now" without the ""
[04:38] <esiri> ruffdog i did change in /etc/default/grub with that  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="noacpi nolapic acpi=off" and acp=off same issues

[05:03] <ActionParsnip> nroy1: also uninstall old unused kernels you no longer use. You can also free space by using bleachbit but watch the browser options or it will remove stuff you want to keep
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> nroy1: clean removes the debs used to install stuff was, they are held until you tell the OS to remove them
[05:04] <nroy1> ActionParsnip: i want to reinstall ubuntu, which has run into some problems because of me removing stuff to gain space.
[05:05] <nroy1> but i want to fix the partion table first, otherwise i won't be able to install ubuntu
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> nroy1: the reinstall will create a new table (unless you dual boot)
[05:07] <nroy1> ActionParsnip:  i have xp and solaris11 on sda, ubuntu on sdb
[05:08] <nroy1> there are some important drives on sdb, otherwise there wouldn't be much problem... :(
[05:09] <nroy1> gparted is unable to see ANY partition on sdb. i have tried it from ubuntu, solaris and parted magic
[05:09] <nroy1> the gnome disk util is seeing them fine, but i cant resize / from ubuntu itself
[05:10] <navin> webkit
[05:11] <esiri> ruffdog i cant with comand  stoped acpi sudo /etc/init.d/acpid stop
[05:11] <navin> i wana help about webkit...so hw can i?
[05:11] <here4thegear> Using ubuntu server. php mail and sendmail both are sending mail out to yahoo accounts but for some reason not to my hosted gmail account. It isn't even showing up in my spam folder.
[05:12] <esiri> ruffdog u can check , here have a issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/570399/
[05:13] <lnxg33k> how to switch between keyboard layouts on xubuntu 10.04?
[05:13] <juabn> i need change the root partition privilege  to user
[05:13] <Starminn> !xubuntu
[05:14] <Jordan_U> nroy1: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[05:15] <gnewb> navin: Maybe here:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebKit
[05:15] <lnxg33k> thanks guys :)
[05:15] <immy> hi again
[05:16] <JeffCBR> !GNOME
[05:16] <immy> is there a way i can make alt+tab work across workspaces and alt+ctrl+tab within workspaces?
[05:16] <nroy1> Jordan_U:  i am currently on xp. ubuntu is having some serious problems, cause i messed up some stuff. the thing is, the extended partition on sdb is showing insanely huge space even on windows. i just want to remove the linux partition now, and readjust the partitions
[05:16] <JeffCBR> Will I break everything if I sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop?
[05:17] <gmachine_24> I want to clone a 160GB HD to a 20GB HD and I can't use Clonezilla bc of the drive size difference (there is <10GB of data on the 160GB drive so it will all fit). Anyone know of other good options? Thanks.
[05:17] <Jordan_U> nroy1: Can you boot from a liveCD?
[05:17] <nroy1> Jordan_U: yes i can, but gparted isn't helping
[05:18] <JeffCBR> gmachine_24: Can you shrink your partition down to be smaller than the destination drive?
[05:18] <Jordan_U> gmachine_24: What is your end goal (why do you want to "clone" the drive)?
[05:18] <gmachine_24> JeffCBR, good point. I can probably use a live distro and gparted and that should do it.
[05:18] <Jordan_U> nroy1: parted itself gives descriptive error messages which should tell you exactly what is wrong with the partition table.
[05:19] <gmachine_24> I mean I can shrink the partion(s)
[05:19] <JeffCBR> We're talking about a Linux FS, right?
[05:19] <gmachine_24> Jordan_U, I want to clone the drive so I can replace the 160GB drive with the 20GB drive.
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> JeffCBR: no, its a hollow metapackage. if you remove it it will change nothing
[05:20] <gmachine_24> JeffCBR, if that is directed at me, yes, it is Ubuntu
[05:20] <nroy1> Jordan_U: the entire sdb swows up as unpopulated in gparted
[05:20] <gmachine_24> Ok then, nm.
[05:20] <Jordan_U> nroy1: I understand.
[05:20] <ruffdog> esiri: okay.  I'm stumped.  You tried sudo /sbin/init 0 and that didn't work?
[05:20] <JeffCBR> One time, I shrank the partition of an undefragmented Windows 98 install...
[05:20] <gmachine_24> lol
[05:21] <gmachine_24> ... and you never did that again
[05:21] <JeffCBR> ActionParsnip: So, I'd still have Gnome installed, then?
[05:21] <JeffCBR> gmachine_24: No. No, I did not.
[05:21] <angus-vaio> hola.. tengo un problema alguien seria tan amable de darme una mano??
[05:21] <Librarat> So x server is broken - I was trying to set up dual displays, and now I can't even get the failsafe to boot -> no vesa driver found.  How do I resolve this? :s
[05:21] <Lancelot> Question: is there a way for me to see how much hard drive space individual packages are taking up?
[05:21] <gmachine_24> A friend of mine says the hardest lessons to learn in life are the ones we learn again and again
[05:22] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, yes.
[05:22] <abhinav_singh> what does "ii" means here http://pastebin.com/hhgMc8WJ
[05:22] <esiri> ruffdog stumbed mean ? i did used sudo init 0
[05:22] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, how do I go about doing that?
[05:22] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, do you mean packages or install packages?
[05:22] <gmachine_24> *installed
[05:22] <esiri> ruffdog let me try  sudo /sbin/init 0 :)
[05:22] <ruffdog> esiri: When I say "stumped" I mean I'm uncertain of what to do.  All of the things I mentioned should have worked.  You tried to type "sudo /sbin/init 0" into your terminal and it didn't shut down?
[05:23] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, just packages in general...what's the difference?
[05:23] <andy_> question: I got too ambitious trying to strip away extraneous applications after installing the xfce desktop environment. now all I have is a command line when I boot into ubuntu. how do I get xfce back?
[05:23] <albert> startx
[05:24] <ruffdog> albert: what's your question?  You only typed "startx"
[05:24] <here4thegear> K, I'm using joomla and require the use of sendmail on a server who's email is actually hosted on gmail. some emails sent go to spam, some just don't get sent at all. is there perhaps a DNS record that I need to set up?
[05:24] <Lancelot> startx isn't a question
[05:24] <albert> I have no question
[05:24] <Lancelot> it's the answer to andy_ 's problem
[05:24] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, well a package is typically a *.deb file
[05:24] <I_wanna_learn> Hi I am new to Linux world, I am a hardcore Window user, is ubuntu good to start with ?
[05:25] <Jordan_U> !who | albert
[05:25] <bastidraZor> andy_: xubuntu-desktop should get you back to where you need to be.
[05:25] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, you know, something you dl and install
[05:25] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, okay, makes sense, how about stuff I got through repositories?
[05:25] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, still here?
[05:25] <albert> I see
[05:25] <andy_> bastidraZor: many thanks. I'll try it.
[05:25] <gmachine_24> After that, finding out how much an installed program occupies usually involves scoping out how big the install folder(s) is are.
[05:25] <Librarat> I was trying to set up dual displays earlier and have managed to botch my ubuntu install entirely -- x will no longer start at all, and I can't get failsafe to load either (it crashes with an error saying no suitable driver found, and no vesa either).  The best I get is a command prompt.. how do I get X back?
[05:25] <JeffCBR> !tab
[05:26] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, are you saying you've not done a sudo apt-get clean install command? ;)
[05:26] <JeffCBR> ubottu: I was hoping for the soda.
[05:26] <nroy1> Jordan_U:  any ideas? is there a boot-cd version of the gnome disk utility?
[05:26] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, no.... what's that for?
[05:26] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, to clean up the dl .deb files
[05:26] <ruffdog> esiri: did it work?
[05:26] <esiri> hi again
[05:26] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, you'll have to forgive me. I'm not too familiar with unix systems. I'm planning to spend time on it later
[05:26] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, isn't that what the computer janitor application does?
[05:26] <esiri> ruffdog did not work
[05:27] <esiri> :(
[05:27] <andy_> bastidraZor: what command do I run to get the desktop to start? Sorry, I'm a noob at the command line.
[05:27] <Murphant> when I press ctrl-alt-f6, it should bring me to a new command line session login, right?
[05:27] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, I seemed to have fixed my problem by putting the following command into startup applications ---->  "alsactl init"
[05:27] <bastidraZor> andy_: install the package then reboot
[05:27] <Starminn> Murphant: "CTRL+ALT+F1 -> F6" are command lines. CTRL+ALT+F7 is the GUI.
[05:27] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, packages dl via apt-get are placed in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory
[05:27] <Jordan_U> nroy1: Palimpsest is included in recent Ubuntu LiveCDs, but I highly recommend figuring out what is wrong with your partition table before trying to modify it further.
[05:27] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, this way it automatically sets up my sound and everything and I don't have to do anything
[05:27] <Starminn> Murphant: That is, F1 through F6
[05:28] <Jordan_U> nroy1: If you don't you risk serious data loss.
[05:28] <ruffdog> esiri: Okay.  I'm out of ideas.  Poss another user here can help with your shutdown problems.  Maybe ActionParsnip.  You should repost your question.
[05:28] <rtz> hi
[05:28] <rtz> where is the network channel?
[05:28] <rtz> I have couple of network questions
[05:28] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, and you must forgive me, I've been using Linux for more than a decade and there was no such thing as a computer janitor - although I have seen the icon in my system :D
[05:28] <Jordan_U> rtz: #freenode
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> rtz: ##networking if memory serves
[05:29]  * unreturned hello world
[05:29] <Guest78293> it says i'm banned
[05:29] <Guest78293> lol
[05:29] <esiri> ruffdog thanks a lot for try help me :)
[05:29] <Jason1> Hi all. I've been having trouble with an intermittent connection after configuring opendns. Any advice on how to diagnose the issues?
[05:29] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, I've been using ubuntu for a little over a year and a half now. I just haven't had the time to read up on the background stuff yet
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest78293: ask in #freenode about bans
[05:29] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, it's constant learning.
[05:30] <ruffdog> Guest78293: for ubuntu network I think "#ubuntu-network"
[05:30] <JeffCBR> Constant learning forever.
[05:30] <crlcan81> I'm trying to get sudo burg-install to run and any designations for my drive that gparted list, as well as any of the alternate designations, like hd1, or hd0, give me /usr/sbin/burg-probe: error: cannot stat 'drivename#'.
[05:30] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, well that works, I'm trying to figure out how I managed to fill up my drive
[05:30] <ruffdog> esiri: Yes.  Sorry I couldn't resolve it with you :( :(
[05:30] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, well almost
[05:30] <Murphant> ok for the command line, but when I press it I just get pixelated colors at the top of the screen
[05:30] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, idk why it won't save my audio setup, but if alsa all ready knows my system, it *should* for future references, and alsactl init  *should* therefor work always
[05:30] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, yes, that is one way.
[05:30] <ruffdog> Guest78293: scratch that.  I was wrong.
[05:30] <Librarat>  I was trying to set up dual displays earlier and have managed to botch my ubuntu install entirely -- x will no longer start at all, and I can't get failsafe to load either (it crashes with an error saying no suitable driver found, and no vesa either).  The best I get is a command prompt.. how do I get X back?  I was googling for a fix and ruan an apt-get purge xserver-xorg and then apt-get install xserver-xorg ... which now lead
[05:30] <Librarat> s me to the no driver found... :s
[05:30] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, so sudo apt-get clean install will delete these archived packages?
[05:31] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, the ones in that archive, yes.
[05:31] <andy_> bastidraZor: thanks. I try this (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop), and I get a long list of "Failed to fetch" all kinds of things. The final message is: "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?" (that response shows up without quote marks).
[05:31] <esiri> ruffdog i did ask many forum my shutdown issue but cant correct yet, i will sent a report thanks again :)
[05:31] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, these are debian packages
[05:31] <Murphant> I'm thinking it's not a video driver issue since I'm working in CLI, could it be a monitor problem?
[05:31] <nroy1> Jordan_U: honestly, there ARE some bad sectors in both the disks, but i have managed to keep those areas in the free (unpartitioned) zone. And it seems some drives have wrong info on start/end of sectors/cyllinders. I hope manually adjusting them via a good partition manager like disk-uti will fix it. but CAN i use disk utility via boot cd... it is not available on solaris.
[05:31] <bastidraZor> andy_: what version of xubuntu are you using?
[05:32] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, you probably have other packages or software dl that could still be in the compressed version if you did not delete the dl file after installation.
[05:32] <ShapeShifter499> g_0_0, thanks for your help anyways
[05:32] <Checkmate> hi, I recently installed ubuntu server and I want to install an irc bot. I notice an user group called 'irc' in Ubuntu, what does it do may I ask?
[05:32] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, okay, so how do I deal with those then?
[05:32] <gmachine_24> There is a program or utility that will list major files for you............ but it escapes me at the moment.
[05:32] <Jordan_U> crlcan81: GRUB2 has theming capability as well. I highly recommend using that instead of BURG (which doesn't appear to be maintained anymore and when it was was a one man fork).
[05:32] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, if you know where you dl them, you just rm them
[05:33] <crlcan81> ahh would have been nice for the websites to say that :(
[05:33] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, the disk usage analyzer?
[05:33] <gmachine_24> you go to the directory and do sudo apt-get rm <filenametoremove>
[05:33] <andy_> bastidraZor. Good question. Checking...
[05:33] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, I think that might be more of a global shapshot but give it a try.
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> gmachine_24: why is apt-get needed for folder removal??
[05:33] <Jordan_U> nroy1: Yes you can use palimpsest from an Ubuntu 10.10 liveCD. But please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" before you do so.
[05:33] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, it gave me a pretty pie chart
[05:34] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, yeah, that's what I thought.
[05:34] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, give me a second and I will look up the name of that utility.
[05:34] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, there's also a very detailed listing here
[05:34] <BVB> random question.. anyone know where i can get cheap office space.. Like $100/month? can be anywhere in the US
[05:34] <Lancelot> every single directory
[05:34] <albert> esiri :/
[05:34] <esiri> albert ? :)
[05:34] <Lancelot> BVB, you could try a cardboard box, but the rent is outrageous!
[05:35] <Roasted> oh boy. rhythmbox acting up again.
[05:35] <Roasted> I give up.
[05:35] <gmachine_24> ActionParsnip, good question. It all depends really on the permissions the dl program/pgk has.
[05:35] <albert> you can  sudo gedit /etc/modules
[05:35] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, does it list space occupied?
[05:35] <nroy1> Jordan_U:  ok, i"ll see you from the live cd in a min
[05:35] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | Lancelot albert
[05:35] <albert> add  apm power_off=1
[05:35] <Librarat>  I was trying to set up dual displays earlier and have managed to botch my ubuntu install entirely -- x will no longer start at all, and I can't get failsafe to load either (it crashes with an error saying no suitable driver found, and no vesa either).  The best I get is a command prompt.. how do I get X back?  I was googling for a fix and ruan an apt-get purge xserver-xorg and then apt-get install xserver-xorg ... which now lead
[05:35] <Librarat> s me to the no driver found... :s  What do I need to do to get Xserver back?
[05:35] <esiri> ActionParsnip i am used ubuntu 10.04 i have shutdown about that
[05:35] <rtz1> hi
[05:35] <rtz1>  i have two ISP ie 10.10.10.1 (first gateway) 10.10.11.1 ( second gateway) and i have dhcp 192.168.1.1/24  for my clients... i want half of my clients (192.168.1.0/25) to go out thru 1st gateway and my second half (192.168.128/25) to go thru second gateway
[05:35] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, it lists each directory, and then a breakdown of the percentage of the current directory space, and it's actual size
[05:35] <esiri> albert u wanna see /etc/modules/?
[05:35] <rtz1> ubuntu 10,.10 sry
[05:36] <lighta> does someone here can link me to a good usbcreator for windows ? (base os linux, target win2k)
[05:36] <albert> this can help you shutdown
[05:36] <gmachine_24> ActionParsnip, when you dl a debian package I believe it comes with permissions that only allow the su to ex, read, write, etc.
[05:36] <Lancelot> Jordan_U, let me give this a try
[05:36] <gmachine_24> ActionParsnip, if you change the permissions to give users free reign, then you can probably remove the original file/package without using sudo
[05:37] <andy_> bastidraZor: "uname -r" returns "2.6.35-25 generic," but I don't think that's the xubuntu version, is it?
[05:37] <rtz1>  i have two ISP ie 10.10.10.1 (first gateway) 10.10.11.1 ( second gateway) and i have dhcp 192.168.1.1/24  for my clients... i want half of my clients (192.168.1.0/25) to go out thru 1st gateway and my second half (192.168.128/25) to go thru second gateway
[05:37] <Starminn> lighta: So you want to install Windows? Have you tried the folks over at ##windows?
[05:37] <rtz1> can someone help me ?
[05:37] <Murphant> My question got drowned, sorry for the repost: When I press ctrl-alt-f1, I get a bunch of pixelated colors at the top of my screen instead of a readable, black-and-white prompt, any ideas why it is the case?
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> gmachine_24: yes, but apt-get isn't needed to rm a directory.
[05:37] <bastidraZor> andy_: close enough, that would indicate you're using 10.10 .. did you try sudo apt-get update?
[05:38] <albert> esiri you can  try my way
[05:38] <lighta> yep i'm there also Starminn, reading some tutorial but if you had a good link I'd be pleased if you share it =)
[05:38] <crlcan81> thank you. for some reason ubuntu's repositories listed burg as newer then grub2 and better.
[05:38] <gmachine_24> ActionParship, I was talking about removing a program file that had been downloaded and was then installed. If that was unclear, I apologize.
[05:38] <Jordan_U> crlcan81: You're welcome.
[05:38] <esiri> albert http://paste.ubuntu.com/570401/
[05:38] <Lancelot> Jordan_U, this is turning up much more stuff, thanks
[05:38] <Librarat>  Sorry for the repost, but I keep drowing :\    I was trying to set up dual displays earlier and have managed to botch my ubuntu install entirely -- x will no longer start at all, and I can't get failsafe to load either (it crashes with an error saying no suitable driver found, and no vesa either).  The best I get is a command prompt.. how do I get X back?  I was googling for a fix and ruan an apt-get purge xserver-xorg and then
[05:38] <Librarat> apt-get install xserver-xorg ... which now leads me to the no driver found... :s  What do I need to do to get Xserver back?
[05:39] <crlcan81> now gonna add my personal desktop walkpaper choices and a few other things.
[05:39] <Starminn> lighta: No, unfortunately I have nothing to shed on the situation. Just making sure you asked in a Windows channel too as they'd likely know better than us. :)
[05:39] <esiri> albert i can try why not,
[05:39] <gmachine_24> This is what I wrote: you go to the directory and do sudo apt-get rm <filenametoremove> ... the directory being where you dl the program file
[05:40] <lighta> ok^^
[05:40] <gmachine_24> Librarat, someone give Librarat the pastbin addy
[05:40] <andy_> bastidraZor: I did. It gives me a list of things it "failed to lock," then asks me if I'm root. Then I enter "sudo bash" to become root. But when I run apt-get update, I get another long list of "W: Failed to fetch etc." and ending with "W: some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[05:40] <albert> esiri  add this line at the end of  modules   apm power_off=1
[05:40] <Librarat> gmachine_24, not sure what you're asking me for .. :s
[05:41] <rtz1> does anyone have an answer to my q?
[05:41] <albert> esiri good lucky to you
[05:41] <esiri> albert i did try before add    apm power_off=1 but stil same :)
[05:41] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, I think you're on your way, right?
[05:41] <Jordan_U> gmachine_24: apt-get has no "rm" option, nor does it perform a function like what you are explaining.
[05:41] <Starminn> lighta: You have the .iso?
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> gmachine_24: so why not just: rm -r folder-or-filname-here
[05:41] <lighta> yes
[05:42] <albert> esiri I am sorry
[05:42] <lighta> just need to know wich file to put to make it bootable
[05:42] <albert> esiri  I will go to school
[05:42] <Starminn> lighta: Why not go to System->Administration->Startup Disk Creator and make it? I've never done it myself but try it out?
[05:42] <esiri> albert seems havent luck :)
[05:42] <gmachine_24> Jordan_u, god, of course you're right. I'm sorry - my mind is trying doing too many things at once.
[05:42] <gmachine_24> leave off the apt-get
[05:42] <Jordan_U> gmachine_24: np :)
[05:43] <rtz1> who has a lil knowledge about nat here ?
[05:43] <Starminn> lighta: What do you mean "Which file to make it bootable"?
[05:43] <lighta> isn't this create only linux distri ? I never tryed but, yeah let's give a try =)
[05:43] <gmachine_24> devine a little
[05:43] <Jordan_U> !anyone | rtz1
[05:43] <esiri> albert thanks good luck too :)
[05:43] <rtz1>  i have two ISP ie 10.10.10.1 (first gateway) 10.10.11.1 ( second gateway) and i have dhcp 192.168.1.1/24  for my clients... i want half of my clients (192.168.1.0/25) to go out thru 1st gateway and my second half (192.168.128/25) to go thru second gateway
[05:43] <rtz1> I keep posting it lol :P
[05:43] <rtz1> do u see my question?
[05:44] <lighta> well for usb you often need BOOT.ini folder and lots of thing like that, I wish I'd as easy as cd, but cd is dead.. and I don't have any lector so
[05:44] <Librarat> gmachine_24, how can I suppliment my hep request? I know what pastebin is, but I'm not sure how it applies in my current situation. the vesa module cannot be found, and xorg is failing to start, even after dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:44] <Jordan_U> rtz1: Yes. And if anyone is around that can answer it they will.
[05:44] <gmachine_24> ok, I meant DEFINE a little.... not 'devine a little'
[05:44] <bastidraZor> andy_: have you made any changes to your /etc/apt/sources.list? it sounds as if you've borked them in some way.
[05:44] <Starminn> lighta: I've always made my Linux CDs by just right-clicking on the .iso and hitting "Write to disc..." so I'd imagine you could (maybe) set the "disc" to your thumb drive?
[05:45] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, yup, that helped. thanks
[05:45] <Starminn> lighta: I've never succeeding in botting from a USB, and I'm not sure if it's me or my somewhat-old system. *shrug*
[05:45] <rtz1> Jordan_U, ty
[05:45] <Checkmate> !details
[05:45] <andy_> bastidraZor: I think that must be exactly what I (unintentionally) did. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?
[05:45] <gmachine_24> I was at the ER yesterday morning at 3:30 because I couldn't breathe and so I'm kind of whacked out on meds.... perhaps I should give a big "caveat emptor"
[05:45] <lighta> yeah but linux usb are easier to create then windows in my opinion
[05:45] <bastidraZor> andy_: paste your sources.list
[05:46] <gmachine_24> If you spend enough time to really learn Linux - and I am not nearly there but am working on it - you will find it is truly amazing.
[05:46] <gmachine_24> so.... many..... options
[05:46] <Lancelot> gmachine_24, I've heard. Well, thanks for the help. Cya
[05:46] <andy_> bastidraZor: how to generate that list? (Sorry, like I said: noob.) Also, key fact I didn't mention: it's on a different computer.
[05:47] <gmachine_24> Has anyone had a go at setting up Android on a Ubuntu/Linux PC?
[05:47] <cybertek> anyone know how to fix bind9 "update_resolv: not found"  errors?
[05:47] <gmachine_24> Lancelot, you're welcome
[05:47] <Andrew___> Hi I am new to Linux, a hardcore windows user, but wanna shift, which flavour is best ?
[05:47] <Starminn> lighta: Well, all the links I can find are about creating a Windows-bootable USB *from* Windows (i.e. downloading programs, etc., etc. in typical Windows fashion). I'd just guess around. I can't help you much more (obviously) but I think you might be asking the wrong questions. ;) Try asking in this channel what Ubuntu programs can make a bootable USB and then ask the Windows channel what files it needs/what it should look like after 
[05:47] <gmachine_24> Learn the command line, Luke
[05:48] <Andrew___> Hi I am new to Linux, a hardcore windows user, but wanna shift, which flavour is best ?
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: that's what I thought..
[05:48] <Jordan_U> !best | Andrew___
[05:48] <gmachine_24> Andrew_, chocolate
[05:48] <andy_> bastidraZor: maybe the simplest thing is to start over with my bootable Ubuntu 9.10 usb?
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> rtz1: I know how it works, if its specifically networking you want then there is ##networking which may help
[05:49] <bastidraZor> andy_: http://pastebin.com/eNi1AMJ9   ..instead of 'lucid' yours should say 'maverick'   compare your list
[05:49] <rtz1> ActionParsnip: thnx buddy but they seem to be sleeping :)
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> rtz1: thats not about NAT, that's about DHCP
[05:49] <gmachine_24> is lighta still there?
[05:49] <rtz1> ActionParsnip: dhcp server is easy to setup .. i just need this nat rule
[05:50] <rtz1> ActionParsnip: FYI it's mangle .. I need to mark packets as they go out so they know where to go out
[05:50] <Starminn> gmachine_24: He hasn't parted the channel yet, it seems. He probably just hasn't checked back. He hasn't parted though.
[05:50] <gmachine_24> Starminn, he just wants to make a bootable jump drive?
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> rtz1: you will need to setup 2 logical networks, one where one half of the network connects and one where the other half connects. Setup the dhcp service to distribute the right gateway to each then set the subnetworks to go through the single nat point to the web
[05:50] <feg_mx> hi all
[05:50] <esiri> I have a problem with shutdown  , I'm running Ubuntu version  10.04 lts desktop ,When I try for shut down , all process done and last said power down but dont power off.
[05:51] <lighta> yeah, just 2s guys
[05:51] <gmachine_24> esiri, are you using a shutdown command i.e. cli? or what
[05:51] <rtz1> ActionParsnip: i wish u could explain it in cli :P
[05:51] <sacarlson> rtz1: I used mangle for shaping some time back
[05:51] <baegle> Is there a way to do a fresh ubuntu net install from the command line of an existing system?
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> esiri: try adding the boot option:   acpi=force
[05:51] <baegle> Or am I required to burn a CD?
[05:52] <rtz1> sacarlson: i used it with other things like routers OS MIkrotik or CISCO
[05:52] <feg_mx> somebody can helpme?   I installed Elastix, but I don0t know which is the extension number to check voicemail
[05:52] <andy_> bastidraZor: I get "no such file or directory"
[05:52] <esiri> gmachine_24 i did used many comand about that  sudo shutdown now  power off init 0 ,,
[05:52] <bastidraZor> andy_: when you do what?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> rtz1: if you have 2 networks, one network can be routed through a different gateway to another, thereby splitting the network as you desire
[05:52] <Jordan_U> baegle: There are multiple ways. All of them relatively advanced.
[05:52] <andy_> sorry - misunderstood your directions. Trying.
[05:52] <Starminn> gmachine_24: He wants to make a bootable USB, but he wants to make it Windows-bootable. Problem is, he's using Ubuntu to make the USB and all the tutorials call for using Windows to make it, so he's trying to figure out how to do it from Ubuntu. (P.S. I think he's back now)
[05:53] <lighta> ok, yeah Starminn =( sound long maybe I'll ask a friend to make one for me instead. gmachine_24 you had something for me ?
[05:53] <rtz1> ActionParsnip: I know but how can I do that from ubuntu ? i have two of my isps connected to my ubuntu box and 1 LAN for my clients and i want to split them thru different gateways
[05:53] <baegle> Jordan_U: I live in the CLI, but I'm not looking to recreate what the installer does. I'm looking to run the installer from the CLI
[05:53] <rtz1> ActionParsnip: wat do i exactly do
[05:53] <gnewb> beagle: Yes, but is easier to just repair it from boot, hen again I do not know why or the purpose for a net install on your setup.
[05:53] <gmachine_24> esiri, yeah, sometimes when I use sudo shutdown -h now I end up with a screen where it says system has been halted... usually I just hit the off button at that point.
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> esiri: also make sure you have the latest bios for your system, there may be acpi fixes in the newer versions (if one exists)
[05:53] <esiri> ActionParsnip i did but stil same , and also i try  adding acp=off noacpi nolapic acpi=off but stil same
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> rtz1: what I said, I have no idea what network hardware you have so cannot advise further
[05:54] <Secret1222> any time i type anything to do cpan this keeps coming up
[05:54] <Secret1222> http://paste.ubuntu.com/570410/
[05:54] <Secret1222> look
[05:54] <gmachine_24> lighta, I have windows systems. if you tell me what you need I might be able to do it - the problem is transmitting the result...??
[05:54] <Secret1222> how do i stop it
[05:54] <FloodBot1> Secret1222: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:54] <nroy1> Jordan_U: here's the info you wanted: http://pastebin.com/M1bz2PEA
[05:54] <gmachine_24> Starminn, thanks. :)
[05:54] <rtz1> ActionParsnip: i don't see where u said it but .. i let u know I have everything connected .. i just need that firewall rule
[05:54] <Jordan_U> baegle: Then you'll want to setup grub to boot the netinstaller.
[05:54] <baegle> gnewb: I'm just trying to save the DL and burn time
[05:55] <sacarlson> rtz1: oh i've done that too but using dhcp to tell 1/2 of my clients to use this gateway and the other 1/2 to use the other
[05:55] <baegle> Jordan_U: sweet, thanks
[05:55] <rtz1> ActionParsnip: so it doesn't matter what kinnda hardware i have
[05:55] <Secret1222> i did
[05:55] <Secret1222> use pastebin.com
[05:55] <andy_> bastidraZor: I see the page to which you've directed me. How do I generate a source list from the terminal for comparison?
[05:55] <rtz1> sacarlson: how'd u do that?
[05:55] <johnson81385> Hi all
[05:55] <Secret1222> HI
[05:55] <bastidraZor> andy_: nano /etc/apt/sources.list   ..this will open it without the ability to change it.
[05:56] <johnson81385>  I am trying to setup a Samba Domain controller with LDAP backend. The version of Ubuntu is 10.04 and openldap version is 2.4.21. And i followed the document from the URL  https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-ldap.html. The problem with my setup is I am not able to Join windows machines to the domain.
[05:56] <Secret1222> can someone tell me how to stop it
[05:56] <rtz1> sacarlson: they idea is that they are 192.168.1.0/24 clients and i want them to be able to ping each other or share files while goin out to the internet thru different isps
[05:56] <Secret1222> http://paste.ubuntu.com/570410/
[05:56] <gnewb> beagle: Here it is:> http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu
[05:56] <Jordan_U> baegle: You're welcome. If you need more guidence than that feel free to ask.
[05:56] <johnson81385> any help would be really great
[05:56] <bastidraZor> andy_: unless you're in the 'sudo bash' terminal.
[05:56] <rtz1> sacarlson: i'll just use cisco to do thsi for me but i so wanted it to be on ubuntu
[05:56] <sacarlson> rtz1: I'll take it pm since it's not ubuntu related
[05:56] <esiri> ActionParsnip i dont check that yet but after upgrade with new kernel 2.6.32-28-generic or after installing s2-liplianin-dkms driver i have issues power off , i did back old kernel and remove s2-liplianin but stil same cant shut down
[05:56] <rtz1> sacarlson: thnx
[05:56] <lighta> yeah gmachine_24, I sure have an ftp for storing file but I know usb need to be in fat32 to be recognize and idk what else it need. Otherwise i'm looking for an win2k usblive
[05:56] <immy> is it possible to make alt+tab tab across workspaces? so can I switch functionality between alt+tab and ctrl+alt+tab?
[05:56] <Secret1222> how do i install cpan module from  apt-get
[05:57] <kwc> how to i change listening port onskype
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> esiri: is the system a branded PC or laptop
[05:57] <raido>  Secret1222 thts what cpan is for, not apt
[05:57] <DaGeek247> johnson81385 #samba might be able to help.
[05:58] <gmachine_24> lighta?
[05:58] <gmachine_24> you still here boy?
[05:58] <esiri> ActionParsnip desktop not branded
[05:58] <andy_> bastidraZor: thanks. Looks like the list starts "deb cdrom: [Ubuntu0netbook-Remix 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386..."
[05:58] <Jordan_U> nroy1: Ok, so it was just the fact that your hard drive has hardware problems that was creating issues for GParted. So while you should not trust this drive with any important data, it's probably no more dangerous to use palimpsest to modify partitions than it is to use the drive at all.
[05:58] <gmachine_24> lights, sorry, should have put in the comma
[05:58] <gmachine_24> damn.
[05:59] <andy_> bastidraZor: no, I have "no write permission" at the bottom of the screen
[05:59] <DaGeek247> !guidelines
[05:59] <gmachine_24> lighta, since I am a bit uncertain what you want, check this page http://bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm
[05:59] <lighta> ok gmachine_24 , hmm
[05:59] <gmachine_24> and everything else at that web site
[05:59] <koolhead11> hello all
[05:59] <mickster04> SO, I have ubuntu installed on sda5, and windows on sda1. grub2 is also on sda1, ubuntu10.10, clean install. grub2 will not boot into windows anymore, it just loads itself up every time
[05:59] <DaGeek247> hai
[05:59] <koolhead11> any ldap guru here :P
[05:59] <koolhead11> we have some issue with it
[06:00] <bastidraZor> andy_: it appears you have messed up your /etc/apt/sources.list  :|  mixing two versions of ubuntu.
[06:00] <Jordan_U> mickster04: You accidentily installed grub to your windows partition.
[06:00] <nroy1> Jordan_U:  ok, but i'm still gonna need help adjusting the partitions.
[06:00] <mickster04> Jordan_U: clearly
[06:00] <esiri> ActionParsnip sorry my english not well i mean i didnt buy present desktop .
[06:00] <baegle> Jordan_U: Not finding many up-to-date posts on the topic
[06:00] <andy_> bastidraZor: that makes sense, as I was using 10.10 before I screwed this up. Any suggestions for a fix?
[06:00] <mickster04> Jordan_U: can I fix it without reinstalling windows
[06:01] <andy_> bastidraZor: and thanks for your generous help, btw.
[06:01] <DaGeek247> mickster04 the !grub command can tell you how to restore grub
[06:01] <nroy1> disk utility is seeing the primary partitions and the ext. part, but is not seeing the logical partitions inside the extended.
[06:01] <Jordan_U> mickster04: In the future, never install grub to a partition, always to the mbr. To restore the windows bootloader follow this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector
[06:01] <mickster04> DaGeek247: yeah, this is a aspecial case
[06:01] <gmachine_24> Also, MS has image DLs available of its OSes - Apple heads use these along with VMWare to install Windows Apps on their precious MacBooks
[06:01] <bastidraZor> andy_: what version did you install, did you upgrade your installed version to a new version, if so, how?
[06:01] <gnewb> beagle: And here>: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryInstallation
[06:02] <DaGeek247> mickster04 special case?
[06:02] <gaelfx> here come the fireworks
[06:02] <mickster04> DaGeek247: yeah, !grub won't help me
[06:03] <DaGeek247> ok
[06:03] <DaGeek247> hai RaNa!
[06:03] <andy_> bastidraZor: I started w/9.10, then installed upgrades as they became available through the software center. I ended up at 10.10. Then the other day, I thought I'd try xfce...
[06:04] <kibaya> evilbug is your cdrom visible in bios
[06:04] <andy_> bastidraZor: and thus began my tale of woe.
[06:04] <raido> Secret1222: do you know how to use the cpan shell?
[06:04]  * WhiteCrow1 hi all
[06:04] <gnewb> mickster84: There is a System Rescue CD from a few places, I saw it on distro watch that could maybe help you.
[06:05] <Starminn> andy_ So what is wrong, what do you expect to accomplish, and what is happening instead? (Just trying to make it easier for others to help)
[06:06] <mickster04> !tyab | gnewb:
[06:06] <mickster04> !tab
[06:06] <evilbug> kibaya: why do you ask?
[06:06] <Starminn> andy_ Oh sorry you are already being helped. Disregard that. :)
[06:06] <gnewb> sryy'
[06:06] <andy_> Starminn: thanks - bastidraZor is on the case here. Thanks for your willingness to help out, though.
[06:07] <Jordan_U> baegle: Dowload the netinstall kernel and initrd then add an entry like this: http://pastebin.com/wrugrf7r to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then run "sudo update-grub". Then if you reboot you should see the "Ubuntu netinstaller" entry in your grub menu and you can select it and install normally.
[06:07] <kibaya> evilbug: may be it is visible set as the first boot devise but it is not active for booting
[06:07] <kibaya> evilbug: which type of machine is it
[06:08] <evilbug> kibaya: you must be confusing me, i haven't spoken about any problems.
[06:08] <bastidraZor> andy_: the pastebin i gave you, your sources.list should mirror that .. 'lucid' in the pastebin should be 'maverick' in yours. after you confirm this do a: sudo apt-get update  .. exit out of sudo bash and just use sudo .. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:08] <baegle> Jordan_U: thank you
[06:08] <Starminn> I tried setting up a PAE kernel -- upon GRUB boot it lists it as PAE, but it my machine still does not recognize the RAM it should be seeing. Any pointers?
[06:08] <gnewb> mickster04: I saw a System Rescue CD on distro watch , but then again, there is nothing like a good backup routine.
[06:08] <Jordan_U> baegle: You're welcome.
[06:08] <nroy1>  :'(
[06:08] <kibaya> evilbug:sorry mistaken identity
[06:08] <Secret1222> harley@Harley:~$ wine /home/harley/GNAAender.exe
[06:08] <Secret1222> wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables
[06:08] <Secret1222> harley@Harley:~$
[06:08] <Secret1222> how do i install it
[06:08] <FloodBot2> Secret1222: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:08] <evilbug> kibaya: not a problem.
[06:08] <Secret1222> for wine
[06:08] <kibaya> exit
[06:09] <c_nick> My Desktop folder says 2.7GB free while GParted says 6.3GB Free how much exactly is the free space?
[06:10] <andy_> bastidraZor: I think I'm following you. So I should generate that sources list as root, alter the first line to read "maverick," then run sudo-apt-get update, then exit out of sudo bash and use sudo nano etc to see the new sources list?
[06:10] <gaelfx> c_nick: gparted says 6.3GB free for what partition?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> c_nick: what does: df -h   say?
[06:11] <gaelfx> c_nick: if your '/' and your '/home' folders are on different partitions, then the free space will be different
[06:11]  * ActionParsnip doesn't trust gui apps for stuff like that
[06:12] <bastidraZor> andy_: sudo will make you do things as root. the first line does not matter since it is looking for a CD.. add a # before that line. the rest of the file is the concern
[06:12] <Starminn> I tried setting up a PAE kernel -- upon GRUB boot it lists it as PAE (and boots successfully), but my machine still does not recognize the RAM it should be seeing. Any pointers?
[06:13] <nroy1> i could really use some help regarding the readjusting of the partitions... :(
[06:14] <Starminn> nroy1: Ask it again and see if anybody can help. Just say what you said earlier.
[06:14] <gmachine_24> nroy1, you've been here before?
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> c_nick: does the df-h command make things clearer?
[06:15] <gmachine_24> nroy1, I imagine everyone has already suggested gparted from a live boot disk?
[06:15] <gmachine_24> df-h
[06:15] <gmachine_24> oops. sorry.
[06:15] <nroy1> Starminn:  ok
[06:15] <d03boy> I'm dumb. I am installing ubuntu server right now and I accidentally didn't install openssh. How do I go back and install it from CD?
[06:16] <nroy1> gmachine_24:  gparted is unable to seee the partitions on sdb. disk utility does
[06:16] <gmachine_24> which disk utility?
[06:17] <nroy1> i just want more space for a new ubuntu install.
[06:17] <gmachine_24> ok
[06:17] <nroy1> gmachine_24:  gnome disk utility
[06:17] <andy_> bastidraZor: I am very sorry, but I think that I misled you accidentally. The first line in the source list has a # mark in front of it, which I guess marks it as a comment? The fifth line is: "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted"
[06:17] <gmachine_24> nroy1, and what does gnome tell you?
[06:18] <andy_> bastidraZor: the first line preceded by a # is the one which mentions 9.10
[06:18] <nroy1> it is a gui partition manager, which shows all the primary partitions and the extended partition, but fails to see the logical partitions inside the extended partition.
[06:19] <c_nick> gaelfx: ActionParsnip: sorry for not getting back to you earlier.. whats df -h ? gparted says 6.3 GB free for my main disk (disk of my concern)
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> c_nick: it's a terminal command
[06:20] <c_nick> ok wait i will try that
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> c_nick: don't confuse disks with partitions
[06:21] <c_nick> ActionParsnip: ok df -h gives /dev/sda1 as 2.7GB free
[06:22] <fudog> has anyone tried gparted boot off usb and found that it hangs on start up?
[06:22] <c_nick> ActionParsnip:  Gparted says for the same partition /dev/sad1 as 6.33GB free
[06:22] <gmachine_24> nroy1 and you have tried the !df -h command?
[06:23] <gmachine_24> nm I see that someone suggested that.
[06:23] <nroy1> gmachine_24: bash: !df: event not found
[06:23] <fudog> is gparted iso and unetbootin not working?
[06:24] <babai> I have manually installed the nvidia binary drivers from the .run file, how do I uninstall it now?
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> c_nick: i'd trust df personally, but thats me
[06:25] <mobius2> ckserv identify cobalts
[06:26] <Flannel> mobius2: You'll want to change that
[06:26] <mobius2> if someone really wants to vandalize my tech supprt chat box they can have it  :P
[06:26] <mobius2> greetings channel
[06:26] <mobius2> is there an alt for libopenal0a that anyone knows about?
[06:26] <mobius2> i seem to get broken and garbled sound when playing my video games :)
[06:27] <gmachine_24> nroy1, ok you need to leave the ! out of it
[06:27] <mobius2> namely a game called astromenace
[06:27] <gmachine_24> nroy1 but try this one fdisk -l /dev/xxx  where xxx is your hd as in sda and you might have to be sudo to run it
[06:27] <c_nick> ActionParsnip: ok I will go with that :) 2.7 worst case 6.33 best case :)
[06:28] <mobius2> anyway it uses libopenal0a
[06:28] <mobius2> just wondering about any alternatives
[06:28] <gmachine_24> libopenal sounds dirty
[06:28] <nroy1> gmachine_24: no response to the fdisk
[06:28] <mobius2> yea it really does
[06:29] <gmachine_24> nroy1, did you try to run it prefaced by "sudo"
[06:29] <gmachine_24> ?
[06:29] <mobius2> gmachine_24,  is there anything better that I could use for sound on games with spatial 3d sound?
[06:29] <gmachine_24> mobius2, dude, no idea.
[06:29] <nroy1> gmachine_24:  YES
[06:29] <gmachine_24> nroy1 and you got no response?
[06:29] <gmachine_24> as in none?
[06:30] <nroy1> gmachine_24:  yes. and sorry for caps
[06:30] <gmachine_24> nroy1, np
[06:30] <miat_> sdfasd
[06:30] <gmachine_24> nroy1, is your drive @ /dev/sda or what?
[06:30] <nroy1> gmachine_24:  sdb
[06:31] <gmachine_24> nroy1, so sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb yields what?
[06:32] <nroy1> gmachine_24:  nothing. another prompt
[06:32] <nroy1> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[06:32] <nroy1> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[06:32] <gmachine_24> it should give you info on your sda drive
[06:32] <gmachine_24> sorry, sdb
[06:33] <nroy1> well, it doesn't. :(
[06:33] <gmachine_24> this is what I get: erikm-desktop:/home/erikm# fdisk -l /dev/sda
[06:33] <gmachine_24> Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

[06:34] <FloodBot1> gmachine_24: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:34] <nroy1> but the gnome diisk utility can see the partitions, and all the partitions are accessible from windows, and my ubuntu iis on sdb1, which is bootable
[06:34] <gmachine_24> I didn't use enter as punct... on never mind
[06:34] <gmachine_24> ok so don't get mad here............
[06:35] <glitchd> anyone know how to add an entry to grub2 to boot a cd?
[06:35] <glitchd> instead of setting the bios to boot cd
[06:35] <gmachine_24> but.......... you've checked your /dev/sda under filesystem/dev/sdXX ?
[06:36] <nroy1> gmachine_24: my sda is fine. i just need more space for my ubuntu on /dev/sdb1
[06:36] <gmachine_24> nroy1
[06:36] <gmachine_24> nroy1, ok

[06:40] <andy_> bastidraZor: thanks for your help. I will try a few more things before giving up: "Jump off bridge (Y/n)?"
[06:40] <andy_> night all - thanks for the hospitality and good luck.
[06:40] <gmachine_24> nroy1 and when you do a live boot from Puppy Linux or something you can see sdb and the partitions?
[06:40] <gmachine_24> night andy
[06:40] <theos> hi! i need some help to auto-mount a partition at startup. i am using storage device manager. but it sets root as the owner. so i cant execute file :/ halp
[06:40] <glitchd> anyone know how to add boot cd into grub2??
[06:40] <sacarlson> glitchd: I've added grub2 entry to just boot an iso file wouldn't that be better,  then you don't need to burn a cd
[06:41] <tripelbaby> rww the guy who's taking the win-98 compaq laptop thanks you!
[06:41] <Blou_Aap> i use ubuntu at work right, but i go home,  next morning im back at office and it seems my pc is in sleep mode, but no mouse clicking keyboard tapping would bring it back. Ubuntu crashes every ight for some reason, how can i stop this, im also getting tired of having to set up the correct resoltuion for my other monitor too when i restart
[06:41] <glitchd> sacarlson, well honestly that was gonna be my next question, id like to add both if possible. im not always gonna have the option to use an iso.
[06:42] <theos> umask and dmask must be the key? or how to edit the fstab?
[06:42] <theos> Blou_Aap, did you try ctrl+alt+f1 then ctrl+alt+f7. it should bring it back?
[06:42] <Blou_Aap> yep
[06:43] <Blou_Aap> even tried 1-7
[06:43] <theos> didnt work?
[06:43] <Blou_Aap> inope :(
[06:43] <glitchd> sacarlson, well how did u add the option to boot an iso to grub?
[06:43] <Blou_Aap> its like a sleep mode that fails
[06:43] <nroy1> gmachine_24: I AM on a live cd now. ubuntu has gparted and disk utility. du sees them , gparted doesn not.
[06:44] <mickster04> Jordan_U: it is now fixed :D you legend :D
[06:45] <sacarlson> glitchd:  this is a start http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604

[06:45] <Jordan_U> mickster04: You're welcome.
[06:45] <mickster04> !cookie | Jordan_U
[06:45] <glitchd> sacarlson, thats just adding a boot from usb to the grub
[06:45] <theos> anyone plz halp me with fstab? :)
[06:46] <glitchd> sacarlson, i was looking for more specifically boot cd or boot file on machine currently
[06:47] <nroy1> Jordan_U: can you help me with the resizing of the partitions please?
[06:47] <sacarlson> glitchd: it's simply a manter of editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom  with your entry
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: the xpud site shows how you can add an ISO to grub2
[06:47] <JeffCBR> Does Ubuntu include anything to check my CPU temp?
[06:48] <glitchd> sacarlson, ActionParsnip ok thx guys
[06:48] <gmachine_24> can someone pastebin theos  so he can post his fstab file please?
[06:49] <Jordan_U> nroy1: No, I don't know how to resize partitions on failing drives.
[06:49] <gmachine_24> nroy1, yes, I'm wondering the same thing - if you drive is failing.
[06:49] <gmachine_24> *your
[06:49]  * c1truz istirahat
[06:49] <gmachine_24> mazeltov
[06:49] <nroy1> Jordan_U: just for the time being... until i get a new drive
[06:49] <Blou_Aap> If i restart my machine i have to re-setup my ati under System>Pref>Ati Catalyst center to setup the resolution, EVERY time i restart. Kind of getting tired of this why can't it just stay on the resolution i set.
[06:50] <gmachine_24> nroy1, I would spend my time making sure I had everything backed up. Which I'm sure you do. :)
[06:50] <twitch> JeffCBR: acpi -t
[06:50] <josefig> what kind of hardware would work on ubuntu for controlling 12 LCD Monitors as multimonitor ?
[06:51] <nroy1> gmachine_24: i will, when i have a new large-enough drive
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> josefig: a motherboard with a tonne of pci express slots
[06:51] <mickster04> Jordan_U: nope
[06:51] <gmachine_24> nroy1, yeah, I know. it's a pain.
[06:51] <mickster04> Jordan_U: sorry wrong nick
[06:51] <josefig> ActionParsnip: haha
[06:51] <gmachine_24> I bought a slew of 1T drives a month or two ago and now they are small
[06:52] <josefig> I was reading this article: http://www.junauza.com/2010/12/50-monitor-setup-powered-by-25-node.html
[06:53] <nroy1> so, no way to move, resize partitions?
[06:53] <Geoffrey2> can anyone tell me what file I need to install to provide a Synchronize on Ubuntu One option?  I have the application installed and an account set up....
[06:53] <gmachine_24> I saw a computer a guy built to back up all his TIVO recordings ... and it was a special case with like 8 hard drives stacked.... one atop the other... this guy seriously needed a life
[06:53] <JeffCBR> twitch: Thanks. :D
[06:53] <twitch> josefig: wow .. that would get a bit warm though
[06:53] <gmachine_24> nroy1, not on a failing drive.
[06:53] <Geoffrey2> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, by the way
[06:53] <twitch> JeffCBR: nps
[06:54] <gmachine_24> nroy1, do what I do. Take a hammer and electric drill to it.
[06:54] <josefig> twitch: yes, I want to do something like that :)
[06:55] <dubey> hello
[06:55] <nroy1> well, my disk actually has some important stuff, otherwise i would not be wasting my time here.
[06:57] <sacarlson> gmachine_24: I think gparted might have also worked in nroy1's case
[06:57] <twitch> or livecd
[06:57] <gmachine_24> sacarlson, he tried gparted
[06:57] <cbilljones> Whats the best way to convert .ape to .flac?
[06:58] <sacarlson> gmachine_24: oh didn't read back that far
[06:58] <gmachine_24> nroy1, I suppose you don't have access to ontrack tools
[06:58] <gmachine_24> sacarlson, yeah, some disk utilities won't read the partitions, etc. on his drive
[06:58] <sacarlson> gmachine_24: s/he left
[06:58] <gmachine_24> sacarlson ok thanks
[06:59] <dubey> I am suing ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Laptops. I am noticeing since last 15 days that, In a single day at 4-5 times my wifi connection goes down and system hangs, then i have to hard reboot. What would be the problem ?
[06:59] <gmachine_24> I've had to use Ontrack in the past. It takes FOR freakin ever ... but it does pull off your data
[06:59] <gmachine_24> you're suing them?
[06:59] <gmachine_24> oh. using. nm.
[06:59] <baegle> Jordan_U: Net Install is failing on disk partition. It's failing on handling the swap partition for some reason
[06:59] <kyo> sth wrong with my iptux,i can't open it for the 2nd time.is there somebody can fix it.
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> dubey: instead, restart the x server, if you are able
[07:00] <Jordan_U> baegle: Can you get to a terminal and run "swapoff -a"?
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> dubey: also test your ram using memtest in your grub menu
[07:00] <twitch> !info shntool | cbilljones
[07:00] <dubey> ActionParsnip: No, even keyboard hangs, totally dead
[07:00] <baegle> Jordan_U: yup
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> dubey: does ALT+K+PrintScreen make the X server restart?
[07:01] <twitch> cbilljones: install it then use shnconv -h
[07:01] <cbilljones> twitch ok thanks
[07:01] <scottnyc> how can install xemacs on ubuntu
[07:01] <dubey> ActionParsnip: I haven't tried that
[07:01] <sacarlson> dubey: I've only seen that when  ndiswraper is used
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> dubey: didn't think so
[07:01] <baegle> Jordan_U: Didn't seem to help, though. the attempt to mount failed
[07:02] <dubey> ActionParsnip: I have to try this next time
[07:02] <Jordan_U> baegle: When are you seeing an error about mount failing?
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> dubey: i'd test your ram too
[07:02] <baegle> Jordan_U: During the disk partition step during install
[07:02] <JeffCBR> screen is flipping out...
[07:02] <mickster04> scottnyc: sudo apt-get install?
[07:02] <JeffCBR> or putty is...
[07:02] <dubey> ActionParsnip: Using memtest ? Can i test mem during running system ?
[07:03] <whitefire> how to boot with modeset=1?
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> dubey: no, hold shift at boot, before grub shows. You will then see the grub menu and you can choose memtest
[07:03] <cbilljones> twitch would "shnconv -o flac *.ape" do all files?
[07:04] <mickster04> scottnyc: or software centre, or go to the wbsite and look for instructions
[07:04] <twitch> !info xemacs21 | scottnyc
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> dubey: you cannot memtest a running system as the ram changes may make false positives be detected
[07:04] <mickster04> !nick | THEBRODOZER|WORK
[07:04] <dubey> ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks i will try both next time when system hang, and update you
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> dubey: enjoy :)
[07:05] <twitch> cbilljones: don't know mate, give it a go but make sure you have back ups .. it might compile it all into one output
[07:05] <cbilljones> twitch ok will do thanks
[07:05] <scottnyc> ok thx gor it
[07:06] <NinjaJeff> :(
[07:06] <NinjaJeff> I killed screen somehow.
[07:07] <Jordan_U> baegle: Can you take a picture of the error as well as the partition setup screen?
[07:08] <Geoffrey2> ok, once again, I set up the Ubuntu One service in Ubuntu 10.10, and am even paying for the streaming service...problem being, there's nothing to stream, because I've never been able to discover the secret to UPLOADING anything to the cloud.....
[07:08] <mickster04> !ubuntuone
[07:09] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: see above...does that help?
[07:09] <baegle> Jordan_U: not really, I'm going to try from the top and see what happens
[07:09] <NinjaJeff> I tried to enable CPU Temp in byobu, and it broke.
[07:10] <baegle> Jordan_U: taking it from the top appears to have resolved the issue for some reason
[07:10] <baegle> Jordan_U: Thanks for being available to assist
[07:10] <Jordan_U> baegle: You're welcome.
[07:10] <gmachine_24> ok everyone. have a good night.
[07:10] <Geoffrey2> not really, because the site assumes it just works....if it doesn't, you're left scratching your head as to why it isn't....
[07:11] <Blou_Aap> If i restart my machine i have to re-setup my ati under System>Pref>Ati Catalyst center to setup the resolution, EVERY time i restart. Kind of getting tired of this why can't it just stay on the resolution i set.
[07:12] <ohsix> Blou_Aap: because the driver probably doesn't do xrandre
[07:12] <ohsix> -e
[07:12] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: what's not working? and how do you know it isn't
[07:12] <twitch> NinjaJeff: hurm check logs i guess and check if there is a current bug on it
[07:12] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: also /join #ubuntuone
[07:12] <Blou_Aap> ohsix, xrandre ?
[07:13] <Geoffrey2> mickster04, is someone actually alive in there tonight?  the several times I've been in there, it's been a room of lurkers, period....
[07:13] <ohsix> Blou_Aap: xrandr, type xrandr --query in a console and see if you get any output
[07:13] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: iunno
[07:14] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: have you actually asked a question with an appropriate amount of detail, "it doesn't work" isn't really detail, what have you tried, what didn't work etc
[07:14] <Geoffrey2> mickster04, supposedly when I right click on the Music folder, I should get an option to synchronize the folder, I get no such option...
[07:15] <Blou_Aap> ohsix, http://openetherpad.org/dhmj6ngilM
[07:15] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: i assume you have rebooted?
[07:15] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: is the service started?
[07:15] <Geoffrey2> hundreds of times.....trust me, this has been ongoing for...months
[07:15] <ohsix> Blou_Aap: try the Monitors applet in the preferences to set the resolution
[07:15] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: are there right-click options on the ubuntuone logo that give clues away etc?
[07:16] <mickster04> Geoffrey2: alternatively dropbox
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> definately dropbox :)
[07:16] <Blou_Aap> in gksudo mode ?
[07:16] <ohsix> Blou_Aap: no ... it's a user setting
[07:17] <Blou_Aap> it gives me the correct resolutions atm
[07:17] <Blou_Aap> but you say i must try next time it's not set correctly ?
[07:18] <Blou_Aap> xorg.conf the resolution is also set correctly thats why I don't understand why I have to set the resolution after every restart
[07:18] <ilon> how can i mount a ext3 filesystem as rw for a user?
[07:18] <garcia_> Any had any luck in synching iPod Touch 4.1 in Ubuntu? I can see the iPod within Rythmbox, and apparently I can drag/drop mp3s, but they do not sppear o nmy iPod

[07:21] <ohsix> Blou_Aap: nvidia's driver doesn't use xrandr
[07:21] <Blou_Aap> wow Fuchs ur on to something ^_^. it says both my monitors are on 1280x1024

[07:28] <ohsix> Blou_Aap: use the desktop settings before other applets, cuz people have put a lot of work in making the desktop settings work as they should, where those other applets need manual setup to apply your preferences when you want to, that includes at login time
[07:29] <amin> ooh caps = shout excuse

[07:39] <Chu> Okay. Hello, I'm having problems upgrading from Lucid to Maverick. I've copied the required files and compressed them for analyses. Could someone help me?
[07:39] <KB1JWQ> Chu: Define problems.
[07:40] <gaelfx> Chu: What method are you using for upgrading?
[07:40] <raido> chu=troll
[07:40] <Chu> I'm using the same method: update manager. I'm unable to Upgrade
[07:40] <Chu> If you'd like, I could send in the files
[07:40] <gaelfx> Chu what does it say when you try to upgrade?
[07:41] <mickster04> !troll
[07:41] <Chu> "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."
[07:42] <Chu> I've even tried removing every package not provided by Ubuntu, and yet no luck
[07:42] <lanks> is it possible to use the hash symbol '#' inside a config file as part of a value rather than the start of a comment?
[07:42] <Jordan_U> lanks: It depends on the syntax of the config file.
[07:43] <cdbs> lanks: for that, use \#
[07:43] <raido> lanks: yes, it depends what program is parsing the config file
[07:43] <cdbs> lanks: that escapes the hash and you can use it as part of a value/key
[07:43] <Chu> Would you like to see the log files? The error asked me to copy them just in case
[07:43] <lanks> ok thanks
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Lanks: I'd say not. The guys in #bash may know different
[07:43] <gaelfx> Chu: if you pastebin them, sure
[07:44] <Chu> Um, I have no idea what pastebin is
[07:44] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: It's certainly possible in bash.
[07:44] <gaelfx> !pb
[07:44] <Autonomiser> ITM!
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: apparently so. Personally I wouldn't and stick to the KISS ideology

[07:46] <Chu> That's from Main.log
[07:46] <ohsix> lanks: they're preserved in here documents, and they're documented in the man page
[07:49] <gaelfx> Chu: well, I'll tell you how I upgraded. I just used a LiveUSB and installed over my old '/' partition and mounted the same '/home' without formating it
[07:50] <gaelfx> Chu: of course, with that method, you have to reinstall anything special you might have had, but that probably won't be an issue for you
[07:50] <Chu> gaelfx: I see. I don't mind reinstalling the software, but unfortunately It'll take ages for me to redownload the ISO. I was hoping for an upgrade method.
[07:51] <ohsix> Chu: you can make sure nothing is pinned, purge any ppa's then look for conflicts in what's left
[07:51] <crlcan81> I don't know what I did to my GPG signatures, but whenever I try to reload to check for updated packages, or when I add new package sources and reload for them, I get a GPG error: http://mirrors.cavecreek.net maverick Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2GPG as well as six or eight other GPG errors.
[07:51] <gaelfx> Chu: even with bittorrent?
[07:52] <Jordan_U> Chu: It usually takes more bandwidth to upgrade than to download the latest iso and re-install.
[07:52] <ohsix> that message is what you get when the upgrader can't find a solution with the dependencies
[07:52] <Chu> Ah, how do I do that? I have disabled Ubuntu Tweak from the software center, but I don't know what else
[07:52] <crlcan81> in synaptic it gives me those errors via gui, in terminal it just says there's errors you may need to update your..
[07:52] <Chu> Software sources*
[07:53] <crlcan81> how do I fix that though? it didn't happen until after I added a more learning focused Ubuntu tweaker.
[07:53] <crlcan81> Didn't actually change any of the gpgs or software sources other then adding to.
[07:53] <Chu> gaelfx: Even Torrents wouldn't help. It says it'll take over 2 hours. I'm downloading via direct method, since it'd be faster.
[07:54] <gaelfx> I guess we have different ideas about what "ages" means
[07:54] <crlcan81> Hate when I screw things up.
[07:54] <Tweaky> hi everyone. bought a new pc, came with windows 7................ trying to get to the bios screen (hp laptop) to enable the cd drive to boot first so i can install ubuntu, it doesnt even give me text saying press f10 or anything to enter bios mode just goes straight to loading windows. any idea how i can get around this so i can install ubuntu already :/
[07:55] <gaelfx> crlcan81: have you tried disabling all the ppa's or whatever? Maybe if you write them down and re-add them, things will be ok
[07:55] <crlcan81> you know how many of those I have..?
[07:55] <twitch> Tweaky: from boot keep spaming f12 or del
[07:56] <ohsix> Tweaky: if theres no bios you can try holding C, or pressing f9; it depends on the bios what brings up the menu, hitting escape just after it boots might show the actual boot screen and key combos too
[07:56] <gaelfx> Tweaky: if you google for your particular model, you should be able to find out which key to press to get into the BIOS on startup, then make sure you change the settings to display the POST screen in the future
[07:56] <gaelfx> crlcan81: you know how easy it is for those to screw up your GPG signatures?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> Chu: if your packages are weird, try the large command block I suggested here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/146348
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Tweaky: try F11
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: please see above
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Chu: sorry bad tab
[07:58] <suprscott> Does 10.4 have the ability to mount USB drives formatted as exFAT?
[07:58] <gaelfx> I hate how Windows 7 notebooks are all preconfigured to keep you from knowing the BIOS exists. I want UEFI dagnabits
[07:58] <crlcan81> which part of above?
[07:58] <crlcan81> your command block part?
[07:59] <gaelfx> crlcan81: he was talking to someone else
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: yes
[07:59] <Tweaky> i have tried every key i cannot get to the bios.... question: if i format the hard drive will this give me access?
[07:59] <Chu> Ah
[07:59] <Chu> Tweaky: Try ESC key
[07:59] <gaelfx> Tweaky: no. What model is your computer?
[08:00] <Tweaky> hp pavillion dv5-2129wm
[08:00] <Jordan_U> gaelfx: UEFI can be just as bad, in fact in my experience [U]EFI implementations have been more annoying than BIOS ones far more often than not. <3 OpenFirmware though.
[08:00] <Tweaky> i have tried escape, all f keys, and del, during startup
[08:00] <Jason1> Hey all. Can someone give me some advice about a network connectivity issue?
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> Tweaky: as long as Cd is a boot option, yes. I suggest you find your manual to see which button you need
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> Jason1: ask away
[08:01] <ohsix> Tweaky: that machine should have the insyde uefi bios, f9 for boot menu, f10 for bios; hitting escape at first splash will show the boot messages
[08:01] <gaelfx> Jordan_U: this is probably true, but at least with UEFI, there is some hope of it growing in any way
[08:01] <wilbur> what
[08:01] <osmosis_paul> Morning, somebody know where is the error or this query??
[08:01] <osmosis_paul> ssh -i /home/ubuntu/.ssh/booster_aws.pem ubuntu@REMOTE_MACHINE mysql -uweb -pweb -e "PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE  '2011-02-18 13:23';"
[08:02] <crlcan81> what's bin/bzip2/ returned 'Error Code 2' mean?
[08:02] <Jason1> ActionParsnip: thanks man. Someone else on another channel just jumped in.
[08:02] <osmosis_paul> if i execute that query local in the machine works\
[08:02] <crlcan81> well, returned an error code (2) actually
[08:02] <Tweaky> ohsix : i just want to access the bios screen so i can change to cd drive as first boot to install ubuntu ><
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: surely aski
[08:02] <osmosis_paul> but when i try remotely does not works
[08:03] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip, what?
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Ng in #sql would be wiser, osmosis_paul
[08:03] <crlcan81> because I did what was listed in the text block, and still got the same error.
[08:03] <osmosis_paul> the mysql sentence works if i use in the local machine
[08:03] <osmosis_paul> but if i use as a ssh command dont, so the problem is ssh
[08:04] <crlcan81> It's not that the GPG key isn't available, it's that it doesn't exist, anymore.
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: do you have ssh keys setup?
[08:05] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip, yes, i can connect by ssh, the most funny thing is that the response is the command option of mysql like if i dont execute correctly the command
[08:05] <osmosis_paul> but as i told you if execute that command without the ssh stuffs in the local machine works
[08:05] <osmosis_paul> is wierd
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: have you asked in #ssh too (or a channel for ssh)
[08:07] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip, dont know that exist thanks!
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: its worth a try
[08:09] <gaelfx> Tweaky: There should eb a manual here that tells you how to get into BIOS: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&contentType=SupportManual&docIndexId=64255&prodSeriesId=4210545&prodTypeId=321957#4
[08:09] <gaelfx> apologies about the spammy link folks
[08:09] <Tweaky> thank you
[08:09] <gaelfx> please lodge any complaints with the good folks at HP
[08:10] <Tweaky> lol yeah
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Yeah hp don't make pretty urls
[08:10] <gaelfx> or.ly?
[08:10] <_skpl> rww: hi
[08:11] <rww> _skpl: hi
[08:11] <_skpl> what's up?
[08:11] <_skpl> :)
[08:11] <Jason1> Hey there. Can someone give me some advice about a network connectivity issue?
[08:11] <rww> _skpl: not the size of #ubuntu's ban list ;P
[08:11] <_skpl> :)
[08:11] <gaelfx> Jason1: describe your issue and we'll give it a shot ;)
[08:13] <Jason1> configured opendns this morning and now a connection doesn't last longer than about 20 minutes. Have to restart or at least put the computer to sleep.
[08:13] <gaelfx> Tweaky: looks like you need to hold the ESC key as you turn the laptop on
[08:13] <Tweaky> gaelfx : ok, will try
[08:15] <kisuke> ok is any one else having trouble with nividia-current?
[08:16] <Tweaky> i guess the issue is that its totally skipping the post screen
[08:16] <mickster04> !details | kisuke
[08:17] <crlcan81> Well it's corrected on the 'can't recognize' part, but now software sources and the rest says I have duplicate entries. How do I remove copies of the same software sources?
[08:18] <nallide> Hi guys
[08:18] <gaelfx> Tweaky: well, there really ought to be a way around that though, I had a lot of trouble with my netbook at first, but eventually I got it
[08:18] <gaelfx> crlcan81: 'Software Sources' under Administration
[08:18] <kisuke> mickster04: im tring to be, its not cooperating.
[08:18] <gaelfx> crlcan81: oops, or in Synaptic Package Manager
[08:19] <nallide> Is it possible to extract XML from PDF, like Adobe
[08:19] <gaelfx> crlcan81: in Synaptic, it's Settings -> Repositories
[08:20] <gaelfx> I have no idea why they chose to hide Software Sources in 10.10
[08:20] <Tweaky> gaelfx: yeah i need to figure out how to get the post screen up so i can edit the bios since it doesnt try to auto boot from cd.. i cant stand this windows garbage! lol
[08:20] <crlcan81> Witch part though? in Ubuntu software tab, other software, updates?
[08:21] <kisuke> ok let me phrase that, has any one tried to install nvidia-current and gotten a dmesg full of "NVRM:rm_init_adapter(0) failed"?
[08:21] <mickster04> kisuke: you didn't tell us anything about your problem
[08:21] <mickster04> kisuke: better
[08:21] <gaelfx> crlcan81: "Other"
[08:21] <kisuke> mickster04: i had to dig out a keyboard to drop to a shell
[08:22] <theos> hi all! i am not able to connect to my wireless modem after i restarted my system. can i get some help? :)
[08:22] <crlcan81> all the extra ppas are disabled, only things active are conical and independent third party.
[08:22] <mickster04> theos: have you turned it on?
[08:23] <theos> mickster04, yes its turned on
[08:23] <gaelfx> crlcan81: you might also check under "Authentication" to see if it has any keys duped
[08:23] <mickster04> theos: my point is we need more details, what have you tried doing
[08:23] <crlcan81> once I let sudo apt-get update run.
[08:23] <crlcan81> to double check
[08:24] <theos> mickster04, ok. dmesg shows "[  890.920773] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready"
[08:24] <mickster04> theos: good , now see if anyone can help
[08:25] <mickster04> wait and see*
[08:25] <gaelfx> theos: could you pastebin 'ifconfig' or 'iwconfig'
[08:25] <theos> the network manager applet is not searching for wireless networks this time :/
[08:25] <theos> gaelfx, do you need the wlan0 part of both? or whole?
[08:25] <twitch> theos: pastebin "lspci -v"
[08:26] <gaelfx> theos: just wlan is fine, but whatever's easiest
[08:26] <crlcan81> as far as I can tell, no, no duped keys.
[08:26] <theos> ok i will pastbin it . just a moment :)
[08:27] <gaelfx> crlcan81: then I have no idea what it's talking about when it says you have dupes :P
[08:27] <crlcan81> exactly..
[08:27] <gaelfx> sorry, wish I were more helpful
[08:27] <crlcan81> that's alright, I think I DO know what it is, but no clue HOW it happened.
[08:31]  * gaelfx lulls
[08:32] <mickster04> wow, did i just fall off the end of the planet
[08:32] <EvilPhoenix> mickster04:  ?
[08:32] <gaelfx> if you did, you'd probably end up where I am
[08:32] <mickster04> it just went really quiet
[08:32] <EvilPhoenix> mickster04:  that sometimes happens
[08:33] <theos> twitch, gaelfx http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FwruN3Ts
[08:34] <twitch> theos: what ubuntu are you running?
[08:34] <theos> the network manager applet is also missing most of the time. i have to put my laptop to sleep to get it back
[08:34] <Tweaky> thank you everyone who tried to help me, i think i will just take the pc into a shop and pay them to install it then it will be fine. thank you all very much for trying
[08:35] <Lint> which program work with .in files?
[08:35] <theos> twitch, its lucid (10.04)
[08:35] <gaelfx> theos: did you try just adding it back to the panel by right-click and Add to panel...?
[08:35] <theos> gaelfx, i couldnt find it there. so cant add :(
[08:35] <gaelfx> Tweaky: apologies about not figuring it out!
[08:35] <navin> any one help me in cross compile of webkit for arm
[08:35] <navin> ?
[08:36] <Tweaky> gaelfx : thank you!
[08:36] <gaelfx> theos: oh, that's my bad :P
[08:36] <navin> moritz:will you solve the error of cross compile
[08:36] <gaelfx> I didn't check that before I said it
[08:36] <twitch> theos: uname -a
[08:36] <theos> :(
[08:37] <theos> twitch, Linux illusionist 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:48:22 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[08:37] <theos> does it show that i messed up with the kernel before restarting? :D
[08:38] <gaelfx> theos: you said it worked before, right?
[08:38] <theos> yes. perfectly well :)
[08:38] <twitch> theos: i have the same chipset as you in a lappy i dont use ... either get maverick or update kernel though external drives etc usb etc
[08:38] <denayviawutmi> hi, is there anyway someone can create interference on wifi bands? 2.4 GHZ
[08:38] <gaelfx> theos: you could try installing backports-compat-wireless package?
[08:39] <theos> ok thanks twitch . i just wanted to find the reason why it doesnt work just after 1 restart. i didnt change anything
[08:39] <gaelfx> denayviawutmi: really big magnets?
[08:39] <sacarlson> theos: I suspect it's a network manager thing.  maybe try wicd
[08:39] <theos> oh lemme try thanks :)
[08:39] <kisuke> denayviawutmi: some wireless telephones, and some ham equiptment
[08:40] <denayviawutmi> gaelfx: will it affect 5GHZ bands too? i have came to the conclusion that my connection was due to the band
[08:40] <navin> make: Leaving directory `/home/navin/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/WebCore'
[08:40] <navin> Failed to generate WebCore's derived sources!
[08:40] <navin>  get the error when cross compile for arm
[08:40] <navin> any sol plz?
[08:40] <gaelfx> denayviawutmi: sorry, that was meant as something of a joke. I don't really know
[08:40] <sacarlson> theos: also is your network encrypted? from this it would apear not
[08:40] <boota2> hello, guys
[08:40] <boota2> anyone understatnds bind9 and dns?
[08:40] <navin> boota2:hi
[08:41] <theos> sacarlson, no. its not encrypted. it used to work 30 mins ago. i restarted the system and it cant find any wireless devices now :(
[08:41] <navin> boota2:what u want to ask about dns?
[08:41] <denayviawutmi> kisuke: i have replace an old router 2.4GHZ with a new dualband one.. when it was 2.4 same problems arose... when i use 5GHZ no slow network.. even if 5GHZ signals suck alot..
[08:41] <theos> the network manager applet says "device not managed" does that help?
[08:42] <mickster04> !ot | boota2
[08:42] <sacarlson> theos: well as we see in iwconfig and ifconfig they are seen,  I assume you mean wlan0
[08:42] <gaelfx> what's the command to scan wireless in terminal?
[08:42] <boota2> navin: i want you to ask me about it. i've got job interview about it today
[08:42] <mickster04> !ot | boota2
[08:43] <denayviawutmi> kisuke: thats why i say someone might be messing w/my wifi 2.4GHZ connection and would like to know how can one do it.. i have googled and googled with not much luck
[08:43] <sacarlson> theos: the other funny thing is that wlan0 already has an ip address maybe you configured static or manualy in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[08:43] <navin> boota2:for that google is always for u
[08:43] <boota2> navin: it's not the same, and you do understand it. anyways, already google in parallel
[08:44] <theos> sacarlson, hehe. yeah i only did "ifconfig wlan0 up" :D
[08:44] <boota2> *i already
[08:44] <navin> Belea:do u hav any idea about cross compile
[08:44] <navin> ?
[08:44] <Belea> No.
[08:44] <Lint> navin, try #gcc
[08:44] <mickster04> navin: i am not sure that is entirely ubuntu related either
[08:45] <navin> mickster64: i am doing cross compilation...do u hav any idea about it
[08:46] <twitch> theos: u pastebin it yet?
[08:46] <twitch> theos: sry u did .. ok gimme a min
[08:46] <theos> twitch, sorry. what should i pastebin?
[08:47] <theos> it used to show "default" before in the network connections. then connected to default. pppoeconf would find the modem then and connection was easy
[08:47] <twitch> theos: sry doing a few atm :P .. like i said prolly install maverick instead of lucid
[08:48] <lone_wolfII> could someone please tell me how I can attempt to reinstall the folder sharing program and service on ubuntu 10.10?
[08:48] <lone_wolfII> I'm currently getting the following error:
[08:48] <lone_wolfII>  'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot create tmp file /var/lib/samba/usershares/:tmpX907JI
[08:49] <mickster04> navin: i'm pretty sure thats not ubuntu support
[08:49] <theos> twitch, i wanted to stick to the lts. maveric must be good too. i just found it funny that just 1 restart can mess with the system :)
[08:49] <mickster04> navin: like Lint suggesteded #gcc or find an arm dev channe;l
[08:50] <crlcan81> Finally figured out the problem.  At least it was a learning experience.
[08:50] <haaga> Hello. I have a machine with 2 NICs with UFW enabled.

[08:55] <gaelfx> are you asking or telling?
[08:55] <Priyank> I am unable to figure out drives?
[08:55] <theos> twitch, oh thanks :)
[08:56] <farciarz84> hi, how many parallel sftp connections the ssh server can handle?
[08:56] <Priyank> I have to drives of same size D: / and G:/
[08:56] <navin> FloodBot2:what is your problem
[08:56] <Priyank> But i want to install on G:/ , but linux setup dont show like it
[08:56] <NinjaJeff> 'night, all.
[08:56] <theos> Priyank, you want to install ubuntu? we call them partitions in linux. different names like sda1 etc
[08:57] <lone_wolfII> can someone tell me how to reinstall the samba client?
[08:57] <Priyank> theos:  so how do i figure out my partision
[08:57] <Priyank> **partition
[08:57] <someonelikeme> when i connect my cellphone sony ericsson w300i networkmanager does not respond. i am on 10.10 64bit. it worked fine on 8.04 32bit... how can i fix this
[08:58] <theos> Priyank, use the ubuntu livecd. open gparted. it will show all your drives/partitions. you can find out which is D: or G: by looking at their sizes etc
[08:58] <Priyank> sizes are exactly same
[08:59] <gaelfx> on a side note, is there a reason that the default install doesn't put '/' and '/home' on separate partitions?
[08:59] <theos> Priyank, then open the folders/partitions in ubuntu and match the data. you know which drive has which data.
[09:00] <syn-ack> gaelfx, It's not that "common" of an option, though it ought to be
[09:00] <gaelfx> someonelikeme: via wifi or bluetooth?
[09:00] <Priyank> theos:  So you mean to say that , While setup I will be able to view contents
[09:00] <navin> hi
[09:00] <someonelikeme> gaelfx: ?
[09:01] <theos> navin, dont paste so many lines. use pastebin.com :)
[09:01] <someonelikeme> gaelfx: i want to use the phone a a modem
[09:01] <gaelfx> someonelikeme: are you connecting to the phone using bluetooth or wifi?
[09:01] <sacarlson> Priyank: you can mount each partition and look inside at the files to determine what might be your g: disk
[09:02] <someonelikeme> gaelfx: a sorry USB it is
[09:02] <theos> Priyank, no. you can use the livecd before installing ubuntu. its like using ubuntu and enjoying it without installing.
[09:02] <Priyank> Thats what i am doing right now
[09:02] <Priyank> I am try Ubuntu
[09:02] <sacarlson> Priyank: oh yes as theos: said you will have to boot a cd first to look inside your disks
[09:02] <Priyank> I am on try Ubuntu

[09:11] <theos> Priyank, alternatively you can go to menu>places>computer it shows you your mounted partitions
[09:11] <gaelfx> naiveuser: how did you try to install?
[09:11] <Priyank> theos:  yes it is there, its /dev/sda6
[09:11] <theos> twitch, thanks
[09:11] <naiveuser> gael i am trying it through usb loader
[09:11] <Priyank> But it is nested in other partition, so is there any problem
[09:12] <theos> Priyank, ok good. so you can open it and verify. remember the name /dev/sda6. you have to use it while installing ubuntu.
[09:12] <gaelfx> naiveuser: and what does the error say?
[09:12] <shal3r> Client is telling me that his server is configured to mirror data on both hard drives. Am i right that it's using only SDA drive? http://pastebin.com/eJ6gtYD8

[09:13] <vega-> naiveuser: nobody is going to be able to help you if you don't give the error. it has been asked for several times now
[09:13] <gaelfx> hagior: you should check out wine
[09:13] <hagior> I have wine
[09:13] <theos> Priyank, use gparted. you can make new partitions, delete them. increase or decrease their size , label them etc using gparted
[09:13] <naiveuser> can i check out the error again through some log files..??
[09:13] <vega-> naiveuser: "help, error, fix my problem" is NOT very informative
[09:14] <gaelfx> hagior: I'm not sure about how well iTunes works with it, but you can check the appdb on their site
[09:14] <naiveuser> vega can i use syslog?
[09:14] <hagior> ooo ok

[09:17] <someonelikeme> gaelfx: seems phone not present
[09:17] <gaelfx> jess_: well, I don't think you can use desktop effects with mutter running, so you either should 'stop' mutter or uninstall it
[09:17] <naiveuser> priyank:you should select a free space for that..

[09:35] <gaelfx> dante2: it sure seems like it won't, but maybe that's not such a bad thing. If you want the latest of a certain program, chances are there's a PPA that has it

[09:39] <naiveuser> twitch: i did the benchmark read test on hard disk. nothing strange.
[09:39] <Corey-NeedHelp> thanks YankDownUnder
[09:39] <dante2> where can you read the reason why its good that ubuntu is not a rolling release ?
[09:39] <YankDownUnder> Corey-NeedHelp, Coolbeans
[09:39] <theos> anybody knows where the network connections files are stored?
[09:39] <YankDownUnder> dante2, http://www.ubuntu.com
[09:39] <dante2> even opensuse has it
[09:40] <YankDownUnder> Ubuntu is Ubuntu. OpenSuSE is OpenSuSE.
[09:40] <joaopinto> and opensuse is not a rolling release either :)
[09:40] <joaopinto> you can use ppa's or getdeb to make ubuntu "rolling"
[09:40] <dante2> YankDownUnder: do you have an exact link where you can read why its good not to be a rolling release ?
[09:40] <Secret1222> As you did not allow me to connect to the internet you need to supply a valid CPAN URL now.
[09:41] <twitch> naiveuser: ohhh you benchmarking sry .. i cna only help with getting you to install/fix :P
[09:41] <YankDownUnder> joaopinto, Yes - just have to read up on it.
[09:41] <sogeking99> if i make 3 partitions ('/' 'swap' 'home') can i change to another linux OS without affecting my data?
[09:41] <dante2> joaopinto: do you have a link with a tutorial ?
[09:41] <Secret1222> what do i put down for that
[09:41] <YankDownUnder> dante2, If you're not able to dig through the Ubuntu site, mate, I really can't help ya.
[09:41] <jatt> sogeking99: yes
[09:41] <Secret1222> As you did not allow me to connect to the internet you need to supply a valid CPAN URL now.
[09:41] <sogeking99> cool
[09:41] <Secret1222> what do i use for the url?
[09:41] <Lint> sogeking99, if you'll be careful
[09:42] <sogeking99> careful of what?
[09:42] <naiveuser> twitch: help in that... I got error ubi-partman failed code exit 10
[09:42] <joaopinto> YankDownUnder, dante2 , there is no such statement about rolling releases, there are common sense problems related to rolling releases, you should be able to find some information about it on forums, etc
[09:43] <overclucker> sogeking99: as long as you don't have an encrypted home, you can use it dirty. . .
[09:43] <Corey-needhelp> YankDownUnder, the pointing device's program wouldn't work, and for the comment by Slyon "And setting desktop->gnome->peripherals->touchpad->scroll_method to 2 in gconf-editor did the magic for me!
[09:43] <Corey-needhelp> " what does he mean
[09:43] <joaopinto> dante2, not a tutorial, learn about ppa's and getdeb, there are plenty of resources on the web for that :)
[09:43] <joaopinto> !ppa

[09:57] <tdhfox21> anyone up to the job of assisting?
[09:57] <eubey> twitch, first server I've configured via SSH, basically just glad it can run PHP/sql and host several domains without fucking up. Just making sure that error wasn't someone just messing with my files or something
[09:57] <recoil_> !ask | tdhfox21
[09:57] <Priyank> theos:  Sorry for long disconnection
[09:58] <jussi> recoil_: jussi@warhawk:~$ man format
[09:58] <jussi> No manual entry for format
[09:58] <theos> Priyank, its ok :) did you manage to install ubuntu? what was the error
[09:58] <twitch> jussi: you cant do it from gui?
[09:58] <silverlightning> hi
[09:58] <theos> gparted for gui :)
[09:58] <jussi> theos: no
[09:58] <llutz> jussi: man mkfs
[09:58] <jussi> twitch: no
[09:58] <Priyank> theos:  No still unable....
[09:58] <silverlightning> I gave up on Ubuntu for my laptop, it was to large and resource taking,
[09:58] <Ademan> does anyone know how I can write raw bytes to a CD-R ? everything, including the sector information is already in my data, I'd dd it if I could, but I've been told that doesn't work for CD writers
[09:58] <twitch> !fdisk | jussi
[09:59] <silverlightning> I have installed lubuntu and it seems to work better
[09:59] <tdhfox21> anyone here have enterprise cloud setup experience?
[09:59] <recoil_> !ask | tdhfox21
[10:00] <silverlightning> does anyone know if the Cerelon M processor just doesn't go well with Ubuntu at all, and a duo core 2 would have better drivers in ubuntu?
[10:01] <twitch> jussi: are u in ubuntu or windows wtc
[10:01] <silverlightning> I notice that package manager and update manger runs much lighter in lubuntu
[10:01] <twitch> atm
[10:01] <sacarlson1> Priyank: you should just delete that 10gb partition you planed to use and let ubuntu pick the format that will default to ext4
[10:01] <tdhfox21> I am looking for assistance with enterprise cloud configs
[10:01] <jussi> twitch: given this is a ubuntu support channel, Im in ubuntu.
[10:02] <mikebeecham> just did a update-manager -d and notice that 11.04 is available.  Is it adviseable to download yet?
[10:02] <silverlightning> ##linu
[10:02] <tdhfox21> In particular HA for virtual machines
[10:02] <recoil_> jussi: why is format missing??? its installed by default
[10:02] <twitch> jussi: u wouldn't believe other questions that's all
[10:02] <DJones> mikebeecham: I wouldn't yet unless you're willing to test bugs, its still in Alpha, you'd be better asking in #ubuntu+1 though if you can test it
[10:03] <mikebeecham> DJones, ahhh didnt realise that
[10:03] <mikebeecham> thanks dude
[10:03] <sacarlson1> mikebeecham: It's not really ready full of bugs,  but it also depends on what you plan to do with it.  also you might be lucky with your hardware with it
[10:03] <mikebeecham> sacarlson1, Ubuntu is my day-to-day machine, and have now managed to transition my kids onto it...so I better not mess with it until it's ready
[10:04] <mikebeecham> it'll ruin their homework life, etc
[10:05] <twitch> !msg | jussi
[10:05] <jussi> twitch: ?
[10:05] <Priyank> theos:  It says http://img818.imageshack.us/i/screenshotgj.png/
[10:05] <twitch> sry ... was for another
[10:05] <twitch> tabbed wrong
[10:06] <Priyank> theos:  It says http://img818.imageshack.us/i/screenshotgj.png/
[10:06] <twitch> !msg | recoil_
[10:07] <sacarlson1> Priyank: for one thing you can't run ubuntu from fat32,  just delete that partition and let ubuntu default to ext4
[10:08] <sacarlson1> Priyank: with the partition deleted ubuntu will assume you want to install it there and just let the defaults guide you
[10:08] <Priyank> sacarlson1: Can I delete it using GParted
[10:08] <sacarlson1> Priyank: yes
[10:09] <Priyank> Okay I try It
[10:09] <Tito0096> Anyone know why gparded adds letters to my lable change?
[10:09] <theos> Priyank, use manual install. dont go for automatic
[10:10] <Priyank> theos:  how
[10:10] <Tito0096> I try and name something "Titos SD" and it adds random letters
[10:11] <sacarlson1> theos: Priyank: if you choose manual partition then use ext4 and setup a swap partition the size of your ram size
[10:11] <theos> Priyank, oh you are already there. format the partition to ext3 or 4. and choose "/" as mount point
[10:11] <Priyank> I have 4gb
[10:11] <sacarlson1> Priyank: you will also be required to manualy select the root partiton location
[10:11] <theos> you had 10gb partition?
[10:11] <Priyank> right
[10:12] <theos> Priyank, you can add more space to your partitions. decrease the size of unwanted partitions. eg. windows partitions :P
[10:13] <Priyank> Okay I try using manual method :D:D
[10:13] <Tito0096> theos, is there a manual way to change partition labels via the terminal?
[10:13] <theos> you should make partitions before installing. use gparted
[10:14] <Tito0096> I am getting really frustrated with gparted adding random letterings after the labe i want
[10:14] <mevvis>   I am human and have read and agree to the terms of service.
[10:14] <mevvis> :D
[10:14] <mevvis> la
[10:15] <sacarlson1> Tito0096: if you need to use a terminal you can use fdisk of cfdisk but be warned you would probly loose all data in the partition if you do
[10:15] <Tito0096> not worried about data
[10:16] <Tito0096> what would be the command?
[10:16] <theos> Tito0096, or you can try fstab. there are many utilities. whats your filesystem?
[10:16] <Tito0096> hmm the filesystem i am on is nfts and the one i want to format the sd to is fat32
[10:16] <Tito0096> and the mount point is /dev/sdg1
[10:17] <theos> Tito0096, try out e2label or tune2fs
[10:17] <Tito0096> what would i enter in the terminal?
[10:17] <Tito0096> (its a 16gb card space avaliable 14.93gb)
[10:18] <theos> Tito0096, sudo mlabel -i <device> ::<label>
[10:19] <alloosh> Hello, does anybody know how to fix the php problem (not being parsed)? this really need to be patched.
[10:19] <Tito0096> theos this is what returns
[10:19] <Tito0096> tito@Tito-MintBox ~ $ sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdg1 ::Titos SD
[10:19] <Tito0096> [sudo] password for tito:

[10:19] <Tito0096> opps
[10:20] <theos> Tito0096, first format the partition to the desired filesystem.
[10:20] <Tito0096> its at fat32
[10:20] <Zeu5> hi there, i was told that there is a pdf GUI editor called pdfedit
[10:21] <Tito0096> already, and formatted
[10:21] <Zeu5> i installed it via synaptic but i cannot find the GUI version of it in the Menus
[10:21] <Zeu5> please advise
[10:21] <dnivra> Zeu5: try pressing "Alt+F2" and type in "pdfedit" in there.
[10:22] <theos> Tito0096, what does this give "sudo mlabel -i <device> -s ::"
[10:22] <Tito0096> tito@Tito-MintBox ~ $ sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdg1 -s ::
[10:22] <Tito0096>  Volume label is TITOS SDú
[10:22] <Tito0096> gparted added an extra character
[10:22] <Zeu5> dnivra: it works
[10:22] <Zeu5> but how do i get it to show up in the menus
[10:23] <theos> Tito0096, so it worked :)
[10:23] <Tito0096> no that was what gparted did
[10:23] <Axlin> Zeu5: look under the "graphics" menu
[10:23] <Tito0096> gparted kept adding extra characters
[10:23] <Axlin> should be called "PDF Editor"
[10:24] <Zeu5> Axlin: oops. its there. i thought its under Office
[10:24] <Zeu5> thanks Axlin and dnivra
[10:24] <Tito0096> theos I couldnt get the label to apply with the terminal command it just kept showing the fuctions mlabel did
[10:24] <Tito0096> tito@Tito-MintBox ~ $ sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdg1 :: Titos SD
[10:24] <Tito0096> Mtools version 4.0.12, dated November 3rd, 2009
[10:24] <Tito0096> Usage: mlabel [-vscVn] [-N serial] drive:
[10:24] <theos> Tito0096, try sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdg1 ::"Titos SD" if that works
[10:25] <Tito0096> that seemed to work
[10:25] <Tito0096> leme mount
[10:25] <theos> use blkid
[10:25] <sacarlson1> Tito0096: what even will see the label of your disk?  everything I see on my screen is just directory names
[10:25] <Tito0096> nope. . it named it as "TITOS SD4"
[10:25] <Tito0096> why does it add extra characters!!
[10:26] <theos> Tito0096, it doesnt take spaces. use titos_sd
[10:26] <Tito0096> Ahhh
[10:26] <Tito0096> leme try that
[10:26] <sacarlson1> Tito0096: I think your right I see names in Places so I think I'm wrong
[10:26] <Tito0096> the under score trick worked
[10:26] <Tito0096> Eh
[10:26] <Tito0096> its good enough
[10:26] <Tito0096> but i would like a space lol
[10:26] <theos> sacarlson1, yeah you see labels instead of boring sda123 :)
[10:27] <Tito0096> sacarlson1 I checked gparted to make sure it was /dev/sdg1 that was being labeld and not my HDD
[10:27] <Tito0096> lol
[10:28] <Tito0096> the thing i dont understand though is that using a drive that was previously formatted in windows with the name "Media Drive" has no problems
[10:28] <Tito0096> why wouldn't it accept spaces now?
[10:31] <Ademan> does anyone know how I can write raw bytes to a CD-R ? everything, including the sector information is already in my data, I'd dd it if I could, but I've been told that doesn't work for CD writers
[10:32] <lone_wolfII> hey guys, i'm attempting to set up a samba server on my ubuntu 10.10 machine. i've installed samba but there's no configuration files in /etc/samba. what do i need to do in order to get a configuration file in there?
[10:32] <erUSUL> Ademan: see if cdrdao can do what you want. but i doubt it
[10:33] <lone_wolfII> apt-get suggested that i install the following packages
[10:33] <lone_wolfII> openbsd-inetd inet-superserver smbldap-tools ldb-tools
[10:33] <lone_wolfII> should i do it?
[10:34] <llutz> Ademan: maybe "readcd" (which also can write cds) from cdrtools
[10:35] <Miri28f> Hello, I've installed Ubuntu on my new laptop "HP 620" and for some reason the wireless not working, any idea?
[10:36] <borek> siema. co tam?
[10:36] <erUSUL> Miri28f: what wireless chip does the mchine have?
[10:36] <erUSUL> Miri28f: lspci | grep -i inet
[10:36] <erUSUL> Miri28f: lspci | grep -i net
[10:37] <erUSUL> Miri28f: sorry first one has a typo
[10:37] <WamPIRe__> Miri28f: and check hardware button for wireless if you have it
[10:37] <theos> turn on your wireless modem too
[10:38] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: it might just work if you try nautilus and right click on the dir you want to share and select share
[10:38] <Axlin> Miri28f:  here's a forum thread for you. at the end, somebody posts a link which they say solved their problem. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1584525
[10:39] <Miri28f> erUSUL:RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
[10:39] <lone_wolfII> yeah i have no idea why, but that option isn't on the context menu when i select a folder
[10:40] <lone_wolfII> i tried reinstalling samba, i got this error:

[10:42] <theos> Miri28f, try "ifconfig wlan0 up" it worked for me. donno about you
[10:43] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: make sure you have install  sudo apt-get install nautilus-share
[10:43] <lone_wolfII> will try that, thanks

[10:43] <Miri28f> sacarlson1:http://pastebin.com/f2bCjwRG
[10:43] <lone_wolfII> looks like i didn't have nautilus-share
[10:44] <sacarlson1> Miri28f: it looks good so best install wicd
[10:44] <lone_wolfII> will i need to log out, log in?
[10:44] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: I'm not sure
[10:44] <theos> Miri28f, hmm install wicd. "apt-get install wicd-daemon"
[10:44] <insanity99> hey guys how do i make it so windows is default boot option instead
[10:45] <lone_wolfII> sacarlson1: i'll give it a go, i assume it adds the context menu item?
[10:45] <theos> Miri28f, i had the same issues. wicd solved them :)
[10:45] <insanity99> of ubuntu, like after 5 seconds just boots to windows
[10:45] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: can't hurt to try
[10:45] <llutz> insanity99: edit /etc/default/grub
[10:45] <insanity99> how?
[10:46] <llutz> insanity99: sudo nano /etc/default/grub    change line "GRUB_DEFAULT=0" to whatever entry your win is
[10:46] <theos> insanity99, terminal> type sudo gedit  /etc/default/grub
[10:46] <llutz> insanity99: sudo update-grub after it
[10:47] <insanity99> not certain what number windows is, is last one on list
[10:48] <lone_wolfII> okay so partial success, i have the context menu item but when i select "Create Share" it gives the error:

[10:51] <Netw0rkBug> to panel :S
[10:51] <insanity99> ok thanks, if this is wrong will it course boot issues?
[10:51] <theos> Netw0rkBug, you cant. use wicd
[10:51] <Netw0rkBug> what is wicd
[10:51] <llutz> insanity99: it shouldn't
[10:51] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: is everything intalled? sudo apt-get install samba samba-common 
[10:51] <Netw0rkBug> i removed panel with network manager
[10:51] <Netw0rkBug> :/
[10:52] <theos> Netw0rkBug, "apt-get install wicd-daemon"
[10:52] <lone_wolfII> sacarlson1: i'll try it
[10:52] <insanity99> sorry how do i save from ternimal?
 thank you
[10:52] <Netw0rkBug> btw i have mint :)
[10:52] <lone_wolfII> sacarlson1: both are installed :(
[10:52] <orbit> Netw0rkBug nm-applet
[10:52] <lone_wolfII> mix22891: nps
[10:53] <Netw0rkBug> orbit
[10:53] <insanity99> i entered 4 but dont know how to save
[10:53] <Netw0rkBug> where is nm-applet
[10:53] <Netw0rkBug> there is no at add to panel
[10:53] <orbit> just hit alt+F2 and type in nm-applet
[10:54] <orbit> should start it in your panel
[10:54] <lone_wolfII> surely there must be some way to reset a particular package so that it redownloads a pristine copy of the config files, bin files etc.
[10:54] <Pumpkin-> I think you want apt-get purge <package>
[10:55] <insanity99> llutz how do i save those changes?
[10:55] <lone_wolfII> Pumpkin-: thanks :D
[10:55] <Netw0rkBug> orbit no :(
[10:55] <Netw0rkBug> there is no
[10:55] <llutz> insanity99: ctrl-x
[10:55] <brachiosaurus> having an issue with new install of maverick meerkat (netbook), don't know what on earth to search for, but basically the computer won't do anything unless i'm either holding the spacebar (or any other key) or moving the mouse... soon as i stop doing either of those it pretty much freezes... any ideas?
[10:56] <orbit> Netwo0rkBug: i apologize then because that is how i start it in LXDE.
[10:56] <Netw0rkBug> never mind
[10:56] <Netw0rkBug> :/
[10:56] <insanity99> thanks
[10:57] <llutz> insanity99: sudo update-grub      then
[10:57] <theos> brachiosaurus, boot ubuntu without startup screen. and see the errors
[10:59] <theos> brachiosaurus, maybe your keyboard and mouse freeze? you can do ctrl+alt+f1 then ctrl+alt+f7 if it works
[11:00] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: yes there is you can --purge
[11:00] <lone_wolfII> guys, i just want to say thanks a lot. purging and reinstalling samba and samba-common along with nautilus-share did the trick
[11:00] <lone_wolfII> thanks for your patience :D
[11:00] <Pumpkin-> cool :)
[11:00] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: apt-get remove --purge samba samba-common; apt-get install samba samba-common
[11:01] <brachiosaurus> ok, thanks. i'll give it a go. it was a problem the whole way through the install...
[11:01] <lone_wolfII> sacarlson1: yeah that one worked :D
[11:01] <ray_> I wanted to learn how to remove ubuntu from a hard drive that has 2 versions of ubuntu installed on it. So I decided to try it out and learn how to do it. How is it done?
[11:01] <lone_wolfII> sacarlson1: now the only issue is that i can only access the top level of the folder
[11:01] <ray_> I have no worry of losing data, as all my info is backed up
[11:02] <lone_wolfII> any ideas on what i need to do in order to allow the permissions to all folders in the hierarchy?
[11:02] <ray_> What's the name of the folder?
[11:02] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: you may also have more problems if you try to share files in an ntfs file system
[11:03] <ray_> I know some commands that can help him out maybe
[11:04] <lone_wolfII> sacarlson1: it's on my ubuntu partition which is set up to whatever the default is (ie not ntfs)
[11:04] <ray_> sudo chown -R username /the/path/to/thefolder  sudo chgrp -R username /the/path/to/thefolder   sudo chgrp -R username /the/path/to/thefolder  find /the/path/to/thefolder -type f -exec chmod 640 \{} \; find /the/path/to/thefolder -type d -exec chmod 750 \{} \;
[11:05] <ray_> oops sorry
[11:05] <ray_> I will be back
[11:05] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: nautilus>properties>permision>apply permisions to enclosed files or ...
[11:05] <ray_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/570515/
[11:06] <llutz> ray_: shorter "sudo chown -R username:groupname /the/path/to/thefolder "  no extra chgrp needed
[11:06] <brachiosaurus> theos: naw that didn't really do anything
[11:06] <brachiosaurus> no errors on boot either
[11:07] <immy> hi
[11:07] <ray_> ha ha, ya, I was pasting from a text file I haven't used in a little
[11:07] <ray_> I modified it first though
[11:07] <immy> im tinkering around with netstat but can't figure out how to lookup the hostname of 74.125.237.83
[11:08] <lone_wolfII> sacarlson1: worked like a charm, so the permissions don't propagate when selecting "share folder" which is a shame :(
[11:08] <sacarlson1> ray_: I'm not sure what you are atempting to do, but can't you just use gparted and reformat the disk that has the now uneeded install of ubuntu?
[11:08] <Pumpkin-> host <ip> (for the DNS reverse entry for it)
[11:08] <llutz> immy: host 74.125.237.83
[11:08] <llutz> NXDOMAIN
[11:08] <Pumpkin-> whois <ip> (for what might be more useful information that you actually want) :)
[11:09] <immy> what does nxdomain mean?
[11:09] <sacarlson1> lone_wolfII: cool
[11:09] <llutz> immy: not-existing-domain
[11:09] <lone_wolfII> sacarlson1: thanks again for helping me out :D
[11:09] <immy> well i know it is google
[11:10] <llutz> immy: google, but not assigned to an official hostname
[11:11] <ray_> I am just trying to learn. I can just as easily re-install Ubuntu 10.04 instead, but for fun I wanted to learn how to remove one and leave the other which I just set up to do. I don't know what the proper way is so I can't argue whether what you are suggesting is the best way. I should just Google it for a while. There are so many answers on Google it's crazy
[11:11] <immy> when i do dig google.com it comes up in the answer section...
[11:11] <immy> i think i understand
[11:13] <sacarlson1> ray_: well for one I would need to see like sudo fdisk -l ; to get an idea of the locations of each;  then just to delete all in the root of the disk should be as easy as sudo rm -r /path/to/delete/
[11:13] <immy> actually i don't... if i run 'host google.com' that ip address pops up among others... so why doesn't 'host ip' resolve back to google.com?
[11:17] <sacarlson1> immy: google.com might be a bad example to play with in this case since google will redirect you depending on your location on the planet
[11:18] <MOTOP> HELLO
[11:19] <MOTOP> :)
[11:19] <MOTOP> hello
[11:19] <MOTOP> :D
[11:19] <MOTOP> aloo
[11:19] <MOTOP> tuka is be
[11:19] <MOTOP>  :D
[11:19] <FloodBot2> MOTOP: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:19] <Jonii^> So, I have my hd partition table all messed up
[11:19] <ray_> What about opening the other half by the gui by going to place, and right below where it says computer it is there just like when a flash drive is there. Then open, then the mounted part of the hard drive with pop up on the desktop then I can right click it and format it?
[11:20] <ray_> Just something I thought of
[11:20] <Jordan_U> Jonii^: Messed up how?
[11:20] <Ademan> erUSUL: thanks (sorry for the lag)
[11:21] <ray_> I have nothing to worry about if things go wrong. I have everything backed up on another hard drive
[11:22] <ray_> And I have DBAN on a disc
[11:22] <sacarlson1> ray_: well to format a disk I think it can't be mounted
[11:22] <ray_> OK, so the Disk Utility then
[11:23] <sacarlson1> ray_: there are also other ways to test ideas like this by doing them in a virtualbox so you don't damage a working system
[11:23] <ray_> OK, now I see how that thing is layed out
[11:23] <ray_> I didn't see it before.
[11:24] <sacarlson1> ray_:  to see what you are now using you can see with the command mount  that will show what drives are mounted to what directory
[11:24] <ray_> I haven't tried a virtual system yet. It's something someone suggested for doing something else I asked abou recently
[11:26] <ray_> OK, but how do I see this by size also in the terminal in GB? I made the installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron have 20 GB and the rest for this install.
[11:26] <sacarlson1> ray_: virtualbox is cool you can play with toys you don't even have yet,  like raid systems that need 6 hard disk to try,  even though you don't have the disks yet you can setup a virtual system to test it
[11:27] <mix22891> hello. how do i enter as a root in terminal ?
[11:27] <erUSUL> !rootshell | mix22891
[11:27] <erUSUL> !sudo | mix22891
[11:28] <ray_> When I want to move files I do gksudo nautilus
[11:28] <sacarlson1> ray_: you should take a look at gparted,  it will display what is mounted and the size of each partition and enable you to format if needed
 thank you
[11:29] <ray_> OK, so GPart needs to be installed I am guessing?, which is no problem to me.
[11:29] <brachiosaurus> man... not liking Maverick
[11:29] <brachiosaurus> nothing seems to want to work :/
[11:29] <DesertFox1> You can download a   live disk and use it
[11:29] <Guest18808> 大家好
[11:30] <sacarlson1> ray_: it was default installed but maybe needs install in later versions,  there is also a disk utility that might have replaced it
[11:30] <sodapanda> 大家～挺好
[11:30] <ray_> OK
[11:30] <YankDownUnder> sodapanda, /join #ubuntu-cn
[11:30] <bazhang> !cn | sodapanda
[11:31] <DesertFox1> gparted I believe is installed on all ubuntu distros but like carlson  not sure about later   modeeels
[11:31] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: want to add some detail to your problems?
[11:31] <brachiosaurus> lol
[11:31] <brachiosaurus> sure
[11:32] <brachiosaurus> at the moment: computer stops doing anything if i stop using the mouse or keyboard
[11:32] <Broker> Hi Everyone
[11:32] <Guest18808> 有中国人吗
[11:32] <Jordan_U> !cn | Guest18808
[11:32] <brachiosaurus> it won't boot unless i'm holding spacebar (tried booting without the splash screen, no errors, just nothing happens until i do stuff on the keyboard)
[11:33] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: well that sounds normal if I don't move my mouse or keybourd my system seems to stay the same
[11:33] <brachiosaurus> funny.
[11:33] <immy> i'm running dm-crypt with full disk encryption and I'd like to backup my data - can you recommend a programme? if i need to restore will encryption pose a problem?
[11:33] <Broker>  Hi
[11:33] <rimaljitkaur> hi
[11:35] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: you sure your just not waiting long enuf?  try reset go take a leak and come back and see what you see
[11:35] <brachiosaurus> yes. hours.
[11:35] <sodapanda> hate Cn?
[11:35] <brachiosaurus> but then the second i press the spacebar it continues to boot
[11:35] <brachiosaurus> let it go, it stops
[11:35] <DesertFox1> When I installed backtrack on my system I was unable to use the  mouse with the gui, and my keyboard double types characters as well on occasion but never had any issue with the  keyboard while using the gui. I would probably try to find the device drivers and install them  using the  CLI
[11:36] <bazhang> sodapanda, no, it's english only here. chinese in #ubuntu-cn
[11:36] <bazhang> DesertFox1, check the backtrack support channel then
[11:36] <bazhang> !backtrack > DesertFox1
[11:36] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: strange,  must be a usb keyboard?
[11:36] <DesertFox1> no I dont have the issue any longer
[11:36] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: nope, on my netbook
[11:37] <DesertFox1> just stating I had a  issue like the other  ussser
[11:37] <DesertFox1> user*
[11:37] <brachiosaurus> it's super weird. don't have a clue how to search for the issue. feeling like it's too much hassle
[11:37] <DesertFox1> The funny thing is  I had no issue using it in Virtual Box
[11:38] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: sounds like you have text on at boot can't you see at what points it stops?
[11:38] <DesertFox1> You could use VM ware and troubleshoot the issue
[11:38] <DesertFox1> hit f2
[11:38] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: naw. i booted without the splash, it stops on just about every line, but isn't prompting for anything
[11:39] <DesertFox1> what fails
[11:39] <brachiosaurus> DesertFox1: me?
[11:39] <DesertFox1> yes
[11:39] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: I'm sure you didn't setup encryption,  I'm clueless
[11:39] <brachiosaurus> nothing fails, it just doesn't do anything unless i'm holding the spacebar down. it's mental
[11:40] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: it was doing it during installation as well, would stop doing anything if i stopped moving the mouse...
[11:40] <DesertFox1> Try hitting F2 when it boots and see what fails
[11:40] <brachiosaurus> DesertFox1: booted without splash. nothing fails.
[11:41] <Gunni> i have this laptop running ubuntu 10.10, how can i make it remember i want the screen brightness always to be 100%, the battery is broken so it never can run without being plugged in. So i want it to kind of "think" it's a pc. :P
[11:41] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: so does it finally boot up and work normal then?
[11:41] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: kind of. boots up but still stops doing stuff if i'm not moving the mouse.
[11:41] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: sounds like some custom kernel with added debug or something
[11:41] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: try another kernel if posible
[11:42] <brachiosaurus> there's nothing custom? it's a straight Maverick netbook edition install
[11:42] <a> 可
[11:42] <Guest54966> 个广告
[11:42] <psycho_oreos> !cn| Guest54966
[11:42] <Sinister> anyone know why when i open a program its not on top it goes to the bar on the bottom anyone know how to fix ?
[11:42] <DesertFox1> Are you using the ubuntu 10.10? A buddy of mine had a   similar issue
[11:42] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: oh take a look at /var/log/system and see what can be found there also
[11:42] <DesertFox1> He has a dell netbook
[11:43] <brachiosaurus> DesertFox1: yes, 10.10 - this is a toshiba nb200 if it makes a difference to you
[11:44] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: /var/log/system doesn't exist
[11:44] <brachiosaurus> maybe /var/log/syslog?
[11:44] <ariwig> hi, after installing the ttf-mscorefonts i cant find any arial, or other microsoft core fonts? im using ubuntu lucid lynx
[11:44] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: yes syslog
[11:44] <a__> 所
[11:46] <juk> how to pull package plus it's deps from /var/cache/apt/archives *properly*
[11:46] <juk> so called *common* way
[11:47] <Gunni> using aptitude?
[11:47] <bazhang> juk, for aptoncd?
[11:47] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: nothing noteworthy there...
[11:48] <juk> bazhang: no, lets say in a lesser scale
[11:48] <bazhang> juk, could you clarify please
[11:49] <juk> bazhang: like in 20M range
[11:49] <bazhang> juk, wanting to install some package offline?
[11:50] <sssss> 啊啊啊
[11:50] <juk> bazhang: yes, i thought there's some wheel aleady been made, for this purpose
[11:50] <sssss> 好
[11:51] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: well there are a few other logs to check like Xorg.0.log but if nothing seen in syslog I'm not sure you will see much else
[11:51] <bazhang> http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ juk
[11:52] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: what kernel are you running?  uname -a  to find out
[11:53] <brachiosaurus> 2.6.35-22-generic
[11:53] <NET||abuse> hey there folks, i'm in desperate need of help, I need to to work on a macro in OpenOffice (3.2 on ubuntu 10.04) that connects to mysql to do some queries. but the mysql connector for openoffice won't work :(
[11:53] <bazhang> NET||abuse, try #openoffice.org
[11:54] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: doesn't look like anything weird in the Xorg log, although my webcam is being registered as a keyboard apparently... lol
[11:54] <juk> bazhang: yes, download will download whole list?
[11:54] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: oh wow that sounds like a problem try disable the webcam in your bios
[11:55] <brachiosaurus> k
[11:55] <etfb> Sometimes, when I click on a menu and open a submenu, the menu doesn't come up, or the shadow around the menu appears but the text doesn't.  Sometimes the shadow stays there until I xkill it.  Does anyone else get this behaviour?
[11:56] <FACCIADICAZZO> Fuck
[11:56] <FACCIADICAZZO> tihs is a blul shitt
[11:56] <bazhang> FACCIADICAZZO, no cursing
[11:56] <juk> bazhang: is it perl or python where's the script, so i can do it from my apt archives
[11:56] <DJones> !language
[11:56] <sodapanda2> what's wrong?
[11:57] <FACCIADICAZZO> exscuse me but i'm really neurvous becous my linux doesn't work well
[11:57] <juk> bazhang: ah, nevermind, looks like php
[11:57] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: can't :/
[11:57] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: why not?
[11:57] <ray_> http://imagebin.org/139251
[11:57] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: no option :P stupid laptop
[11:57] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: it's built in isn't it?
[11:58] <ray_> I now have 20 GB of allocated free space
[11:58] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: yup. just a not helpfup bios ftw
[11:58] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: never heard of a device that's built in that can't be disabled from bios but ok must be a way to do it in xorg.conf then
[11:59] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: I don't even recall how to auto create a xorg.conf file
[11:59] <sodapanda> I think I have been stuck
[12:00] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: where is xorg.conf in 10.10? it's not in /etc/X11 ?
[12:00] <brachiosaurus> ah
[12:00] <brachiosaurus> right
[12:00] <brachiosaurus> i tried it about 15 mins ago... can't remember what i used but it wasn't terribly effective (nothing happened :P)
[12:01] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: well to start this isn't one but yes that's were you will put it /etc/X11/xorg.conf  with this http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html
[12:01] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: but after it creates it you will have to figure out how to modify it so that webcam won't become a keyboard
[12:02] <LogicallyDashing> I made a custom install CD out of the 10.04.2 i386 desktop CD. I booted the CD in a virtual machine (kvm) and it seemed to work. Then I used that disc image to make a USB bootdisk... and instead of booting it says: "vesamenu.c32: Not a COM32R image". What?
[12:02] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: ty. i'm not sure the issue is in X though, seeing it happens during boot before X is loaded :/
[12:03] <sacarlson1> LogicallyDashing: well what did you use to install the image to a usb disk?
[12:03] <LogicallyDashing> sacarlson1: Startup Disk Creator, in Kubuntu
[12:04] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: ya sounds like the keyboard problem starts early on
[12:04] <LogicallyDashing> sacarlson1: The startup disk creator was on a different machine than what I used to make the image so I guess that might be a thing, the Kubuntu machine is 64 bit...
[12:04] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, hello did u fix the undelflv script?
[12:05] <sacarlson1> LogicallyDashing: well that sounds like it should have worked as long as it's a ubuntu destro iso file
[12:05] <juk> hi
[12:05] <juk> any idea how i pull pack + deps from apt archives?
[12:05] <LogicallyDashing> juk: by installing like normal?
[12:06] <LogicallyDashing> juk: if you want to download the packages and NOT install them, Synaptic has a checkbox for that, the packages will end up in /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:06] <juk> LogicallyDashing: aren't you smart, you think i didn't think of that in the first place
[12:06] <jrib> juk: what do you want to accomplish, i.e. once you have these packages, what do you want to do with them?
[12:06] <sacarlson1> LogicallyDashing: I think I found your problem http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-mint-84/trying-to-boot-linux-mint-9-from-usb-flash-drive-vesamenu-c32-not-a-com32r-image-829397/
[12:07] <juk> jrib: move to offline machine and install in deps order
[12:07] <indeed> hi
[12:08] <jrib> juk: have you explored your options in the !offline factoid?
[12:08] <LjL> juk: why doesn't what LogicallyDashing said work?
[12:08] <juk> jrib: doing :/
[12:09] <juk> LjL: because like you php script it generates list, which is no use, when hell lot of deps
[12:09] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: naw no help... i don't think i'm going to resolve this one...
[12:09] <brachiosaurus> thanks though
[12:10] <surial> How do I figure out with (aptitutde) why something has been auto-installed? I'm trying to remove all signs of the GUI (currently xfce) and neither apt-get remove xfce4 nor xubuntu-desktop is doing the trick (neither is installed).
[12:10] <LjL> juk: why? just do "dpkg -i *.deb" and it'll sort things out automatically, always did for me...
[12:11] <juk> jrib: it says will generate download list, but it's offline machine i need to move on, and if it would online i would bother doing...
[12:11] <jrib> juk: right, so you download on a machine that is online, then copy to the offline machine and do what LjL said
[12:11] <dnivra> hello. I would like to know is the file /etc/lsb-release created by installing of some application or is it existent by default?
[12:11] <juk> LjL: ah, i didn't know :/
[12:12] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: well find out what driver it uses for the cam and just delete it from the kernel,  then it can't even try to use it as a keyboard
[12:12] <jrib> dnivra: base-files seems to own it
[12:12] <jrib> dnivra: (installed by default)
[12:12] <juk> jrib: fare enough, thanks
[12:12] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: you might see with sudo lshw
[12:12] <surial> Okay, looking at the sheer number of packages explicitly installed (no A in aptitude search), I don't think apt-get remove (anything) is the appropriate way to turn an ubuntu install back to a command-line only version. WHat is the right way?
[12:12] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: it's not the problem i think. just tested and the cam works fine anyway.
[12:12] <jrib> surial: apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop (for example) and then apt-get autoremove
[12:13] <sacarlson1> brachiosaurus: oh ok, ya could be something totaly different cuasing the problem
[12:13] <surial> jrib: ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, xfce4 all not installed.
[12:13] <jrib> surial: but they were at some point?
[12:13] <dnivra> jrib: installed by default good-that's what I wanted to know. but something else too-is it dynamically created? cos I extracted the file lsb-base.deb and i didn't find the file in the /etc folder inside it.
[12:13] <surial> jrib: No. And yet when this machine boots, I see a gdm login and if I do, xfce.
[12:13] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, the script will work in firefox?
[12:13] <surial> gdm also is installed according to aptitude.
[12:13] <jrib> surial: so how did you install xfce, what packages did you install?
[12:14] <brachiosaurus> sacarlson1: i think so. anyway, bedtime. thanks for the help. bye
[12:14] <surial> jrib: Fairly sure xubuntu-desktop, but I guess not.
[12:14] <jrib> surial: why do you guess not?
[12:14] <surial> Because apt-get -s remove xubuntu-desktop says: Package not installed.
[12:14] <jrib> surial: sure you didn't remove it earlier?
[12:14] <surial> Possibly. But the system still boots into a gdm login screen. and most GUI related packagesa re still installed.
[12:15] <jrib> dnivra: it's in base-files package
[12:15] <jrib> surial: so do the second step (apt-get autoremove)
[12:15] <surial> jrib: Did it. Didn't do much.
[12:15] <surial> jrib: I see xfdesktop4 is installed with the A flag. How do I check why it's on A?
[12:15] <surial> perhaps that'll lead me to the package.
[12:15] <arvind_khadri> surial, did you remove gdm ? A is for automatic
[12:16] <surial> arvind_khadri: I know - how do I figure out which package is dependent on it?
[12:16] <juk> jrib: one more moment apt-get says i have pack installed so wont download, what now :|
[12:16] <jrib> surial: probably xfce4?
[12:16] <arvind_khadri> surial, apt-cache rdepends <packagename>
[12:16] <dnivra> jrib: oh okay got the package name wrong :). thanks a lot!
[12:16] <surial> jrib: xfce4, xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop are all not installed.
[12:17] <arvind_khadri> surial, first of all xubuntu and ubuntu-desktop are meta packages.
[12:17] <juk> jrib: is there way to point it to look in cache first
[12:17] <jkg> try to remove xfdesktop4 and see what else it wants to get rid of? (this may not be the "right" method, but it's what I'd try)
[12:17] <jrib> juk: which method are you trying?
[12:17] <surial> sigh. removing xfdesktop4 just removes that.
[12:17] <jrib> surial: what ubuntu version is this?
[12:17] <surial> karmic koala.
[12:18] <surial> I think. hold on.
[12:18] <juk> jrib: apt-get -d (do NOT install)
[12:18] <surial> Yeah. 9.1.
[12:18] <jrib> surial: are you an aptitude or apt-get user?
[12:18] <surial> usually apt-get.
[12:18] <surial> I thought they amounted to the same thing.
[12:18] <khussein78> is there application under ubuntu work like cd roller in window ( recover multiple disks )
[12:18] <arvind_khadri> surial, no
[12:18] <surial> ow.
[12:18] <surial> uhoh.
[12:19] <jkg> aptitude remembers what got installed automatically, so you can ... uh, yeah :-)
[12:19] <indeed> am i connected ?
[12:19] <jrib> surial: not with the auto-removal stuff.  I think if you use one to install and the other to remove, they don't "know" what the other knows as far as auto-removal goes
[12:19] <surial> arvind_khadri: It's our home server and various people have been playing around with it. I usually use apt-get. I believe a roommate usually uses aptitude. Did we screw this system up beyond repair?
[12:20]  * juk wanna see super cow powers in action
[12:20] <arvind_khadri> surial, no you haven't . Are you getting any errors when you run apt-get/aptitude ? And here is why to use aptitude "aptitude has more advanced conflict/dependency resolution and will often find a solution where apt-get gives up. It can be used from the command line like apt-get plus an interactive resolver makes it much easier to recover from broken dependencies."
[12:20] <surial> No errors.
[12:21] <surial> and autoremove doesn't remove anything (I did that before).
[12:21] <arvind_khadri> surial, do you get a GUI when you login through GDM ?
[12:21] <jrib> juk: doesn't that mean you already have the packages in archives?
[12:21] <surial> Well, let me try.
[12:21] <jrib> !who | surial
[12:22] <juk> jrib: right, what i was saying prevously
[12:22] <juk> jrib: is there way to point it to look in cache first
[12:22] <jrib> juk: apt-get -d will download to archives, won't it?
[12:22] <surial> I see xfce.
[12:23] <surial> It doesn't look what it used to, and I get an error that it can't talk to the wastebasket service... so I guess it's about half of an xfce.
[12:23] <juk> jrib: right unless i have it installed already
[12:23] <surial> jrib, arvind_khadri: It doesn't look what it used to, and I get an error that it can't talk to the wastebasket service... so I guess it's about half of an xfce.
[12:23] <kwc> i have a school i want a software to generate results for students
[12:24] <jrib> juk: so it's already in archives, why not just copy your archives over to the other computer and then use apt-get to install.  If the computers are the same ubuntu version, should be fine
[12:24] <kwc> any ideas guys
[12:24] <surial> jrib, arvind_khadri: Hey, 'xinit' is installed.. what if I remove that?
[12:24] <kwc> i have five subjects
[12:24] <indeed> I have installed  new kernel on Ubuntu 10.4.. How can i disable old kernel menu from boot please?
[12:24] <jrib> !enter | kwc
[12:24] <erUSUL> kwc: maybe more ideas in #edubuntu ?
[12:24] <kwc> if it could be web based it would be fine
[12:24] <erUSUL> indeed: remove the old kernels
[12:24] <arvind_khadri> !puregnome | surial
[12:24] <erUSUL> indeed: i use synaptic for that
[12:25] <sodapanda> yes that's a good idea
[12:26] <juk> jrib: here we go again, we came to point i aked about wheel to generate list of deps...
[12:26] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. I installed the ntp package to sync the date/time of my ubuntu server machine with the internet pool.ntp.org servers
[12:26] <juk> jrib: no from LjL's database
[12:26] <SmokeyD> but how do I force a sync right now
[12:26] <jrib> juk: why?  You shouldn't need to.  Just copy everything and use apt-get.  Why would that not work?
[12:26] <Pumpkin-> SmokeyD: you want ntpdate
[12:27] <SmokeyD> because after installing, the date/time of my ubuntu server machine is still off by 10-15 minutes
[12:27] <juk> jrib: *everything* how you know all the deps, do you remember everything
[12:27] <jrib> juk: copy everything in your archives folder
[12:27] <SmokeyD> Pumpkin-, on https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/NTP.html I read ntpd is better since it checks it more frequently
[12:27] <Pumpkin-> SmokeyD: yeah, ntp sets the time slowly by lengthening/shortening a second slightly. If your clock is off by miles, stop ntpd, run ntpdate, then start ntpd again.
[12:28] <SmokeyD> Pumpkin-, ah, ok, now I understand
[12:28] <Pumpkin-> ntpdate gets the time right, ntpd keeps it right (if that makes sense)
[12:28] <SmokeyD> Pumpkin-, thanks
[12:28] <juk> jrib: ah, ok, yeah why not just take the hard to hook to offline machine, no problem, nevermind
[12:28] <SmokeyD> Pumpkin-, cool. That worked.
[12:29] <indeed> erUSUL, yeah .... But i need help
[12:29] <indeed> erUSUL, How?
[12:29] <indeed> erUSUL, man explain it please
[12:29] <erUSUL> indeed: search for linux-image ( the packages are named linux-image-version-foo )
[12:29] <erUSUL> indeed: right click the old ones you do not want and mark for removal right click
[12:30] <sacarlson1> juk: I create a list of package after I have installed what I wanted with dpkg --get-selections > installed-software  then to recover with a new install dpkg --set-selections < installed-software ; dselect
[12:32] <sacarlson1> juk: I'm not sure this is related http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/  to put the packages on a cd or other media before install
[12:32] <bazhang> sacarlson1, thats in repos as well
[12:32] <bazhang> !aptoncd
[12:33] <juk> sacarlson1: it's on the repo, not exactly what i need, you talking about system backup
[12:33] <surial> How do I check what runlevel the machine would boot to?
[12:33] <sacarlson1> juk: no offline repository
[12:33] <juk> sacarlson1: that's basically, how we just solved this with jrib
[12:34] <juk> !info aptoncd | sacarlson1
[12:34] <ajay> anyone free for clarifying a doubt
[12:38] <cak054> ajay extensial angnsts have there place, u have a question please ask
[12:39] <Jonii^> Ok, so how do I fix partition table of my system disk?
[12:40] <gaelfx> Jonii^: probably the best way is with a livecd and gparted
[12:40] <gaelfx> er, I shouldn't have said best, I should have said easiest
[12:40] <Jonii^> I have my Windows C: drive end on the same block as D: drive begins, plus my system drive partition table has some unknown, starts-out-of-nowhere -partition
[12:41] <fruitwerks> new / up to date lucid install and php / pdo_pgsql.so
[12:41] <fruitwerks> will not load
[12:41] <Paddy_NI> sacarlson1: Hey man cheers for your help last night... it's always something obvious aint it :)
[12:43] <Jonii^> gaelfx, gparted does think my entire disk is unallocated
[12:43] <gaelfx> Jonii^: what does fdisk say?
[12:44] <Jonii^> It lists five different partitions, 4 of which windows shows, and one that is totally weird and should not exist
[12:44] <surial> Okay guys, xfce is gone. But, the boot procedure still goes through a splash screen of sorts with the xfce mouse. Now, turns out, linux hard-crashes if there's no display connected... which is _really_ annoying. I'm hoping its that mouse splash screen. How do I get rid of that?
[12:46] <Paddy_NI> surial: You will probably have to remove plymouth.. from what I hear it is not a pleasant experience
[12:47] <surial> Paddy_NI: plymouth?
[12:47] <Paddy_NI> I am yet to find a simple way of disabling the splash screen or just having verbouse/text boot
[12:47] <surial> Paddy_NI: Whatever it is, it's not xsplash.
[12:47] <Paddy_NI> surial: plymouth is responsible for the mouse :)
[12:47] <surial> Paddy_NI: Do you know which apt package this is?
[12:47] <Paddy_NI> plymouth
[12:48] <surial> No such package.
[12:48] <Paddy_NI> which version of ubuntu are you running?
[12:48] <RamonMiranda> Hi all
[12:48] <surial> Paddy_NI: 9.1 (karmic koala).
[12:48] <surial> I'm pretty close to just reinstalling this whole thing from scratch.
[12:48] <Paddy_NI> there is no 9.1
[12:48] <RamonMiranda> Which is the size needed to make a partition for ubuntu?
[12:48] <surial> 9.10, sorry.
[12:48] <Paddy_NI> ah
[12:48] <Paddy_NI> surial: I dont think that uses plymouth
[12:49] <RamonMiranda> i am using Vista but i want to test the ubuntu 10.10
[12:49] <surial> Paddy_NI: Evidently not - no such package around.
[12:49] <surial> RamonMiranda: I assume you want a graphical shell?
[12:49] <Paddy_NI> surial: I think its usplash although I might be wrong
[12:49] <Klaus_Dieter> hello world.
[12:49] <Paddy_NI> surial: you should opt for a recent release of ubuntu anyway
[12:49] <gaelfx> RamonMiranda: best way is either make a LiveCD or LiveUSB
[12:49] <surial> Paddy_NI: Yeah.
[12:49] <Klaus_Dieter> there is this great software called miniupnp and there is no ubuntu package for it. How can I create one?
[12:49] <surial> Paddy_NI: I'll guess I'll have to find the time to put meerkat on this thing.
[12:50] <RamonMiranda> surial: i want to make a "real" space for my ubuntu 10.10
[12:50] <Paddy_NI> surial: Yeah that is always a problem.. time
[12:50] <Klaus_Dieter> this is not about installing it on my system, it is about creating a package for ubuntu to be used in the repositories
[12:50] <toniadmin> pederi
[12:50] <jrib> !packaging | Klaus_Dieter
[12:50] <RamonMiranda> gaelfx: i have tried the live release , but i want a better performance installing on my computer
[12:50] <toniadmin> kus
[12:50] <toniadmin> to
[12:50] <surial> Whoa. I'm running remove usplash and it's writing a new kernel. That sounds interesting.
[12:50] <toniadmin> sd;.a
[12:51] <Klaus_Dieter> thanks jrib  ubottu  :)
[12:51] <gaelfx> RamonMiranda: fair enough, then use the installer that should be on the desktop when you are running ubuntu
[12:51] <toniadmin> ae
[12:51] <toniadmin> ne
[12:51] <toniadmin> be
[12:51] <toniadmin> sod

[12:51] <rlp10> How do you update a package beyond the version that's in the official repos?
[12:51] <gaelfx> rlp10: best way is to find a PPA for it, which package are you wanting to update?
[12:52] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: you can also share it in ppa with the world
[12:52] <RamonMiranda> gaelfx: but which is the best size without giving too much hard disk?  :S
[12:52] <llutz_> rlp10: build yourself, find a repo with newer version, prepare to break your system
[12:52] <rlp10> newsbeuter - the never version (2.4) syncs with google reader
[12:52] <gaelfx> RamonMiranda: a typical install shouldn't need more than 15-20GB I would say
[12:52] <rlp10> llutz_: were they alternatives? or a to do list?
[12:53] <Klaus_Dieter> ! ppa
[12:53] <tr43nd> hi
[12:53] <llutz_> rlp10: not really, all stuff not in the official repos will possibly break something. thats the risk
[12:53] <Klaus_Dieter> sacarlson: is anyone actually using those?
[12:53] <llutz_> rlp10: ppa is the best way to try
[12:53] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: ya me
[12:54] <Ghostly> has any one used Lrzip, i recently installed it and now i tried to compress a folder but i only got the error: Failed to map buffer in rzip_fd
[12:54] <rlp10> gaelfx: i'm looking to update newsbeuter to v2.4 so i can use google reader syncing
[12:54] <tr43nd> anyone tell me command to look my firs time install ?
[12:54] <rlp10> llutz_: thanks, do you mean find someone else's PPA, or make one myself?
[12:54] <RamonMiranda> gaelfx: that is for the OS and the Swap file?
[12:54] <Paddy_NI> sacarlson: Hey man cheers for the help yesterday night.. my head was fried.. :)
[12:54] <llutz_> rlp10: 1st try to find a ppa offering the stuff you want
[12:54] <rlp10> llutz_: just google?
[12:55] <gaelfx> rlp10: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/newsbeuter see if it's there
[12:55] <sacarlson> Paddy_NI: no problem,  I don't even recall what I did,  glad it worked whatever it was
[12:55] <Paddy_NI> sacarlson: 2 hdds dual boot
[12:55] <llutz_> rlp10: launchpad or google
[12:55] <Paddy_NI> sacarlson: was the drive order in the end up as you originally thought :P
[12:55] <sacarlson> Paddy_NI: oh very good
[12:56] <gaelfx> RamonMiranda: well, for swap, they usually say twice the size of your physical RAM, for system, 15GB should be plenty, if you're just trying it out
[12:57] <tr43nd> how I can see how long time I have ubuntu in computer ?
[12:57] <Attivism> Salve a tutti
[12:57] <pcperson1> I have installed Ubuntu, but the GRUB bootloader says Grub Rescue> Out of disk. I am not sure what to do.
[12:58] <rlp10> gaelfx, llutz_: i'm using lucid and the natty package is the right version. can i cross install?
[12:58] <gaelfx> rlp10: not suggested
[12:58] <gaelfx> really really really not suggested
[12:58] <Paddy_NI> you mean recommended
[12:58] <Paddy_NI> :P
[12:59] <gaelfx> I'm not in a position to recommend anything to anyone
[12:59] <Paddy_NI> pcperson1: what is the package?
[12:59] <gaelfx> besides, haven't you heard of the power of suggestion?
[12:59] <pcperson1> ubuntu 10.10
[12:59] <rlp10> gaelfx: there's an untrusted PPA with v2.3, which does include the functionality I want. could i try that?
[12:59] <pcperson1> I have tried the Live CD install and the alternative install and I get the same problem
[12:59] <Paddy_NI> pcperson1: no the natty package you are trying to install on lucid
[12:59] <tr43nd> how I can see how long I use ubuntu on my comp ?
[13:00] <gaelfx> rlp10: of course
[13:00] <netech> tr43nd: uptime?
[13:00] <Klaus_Dieter> sacarlson: so how does that work. to use the package in the archive I create you have to subscribe to my archive? or is there a meta ppa?
[13:00] <tr43nd> hi, yes, uptime all
[13:01] <ankur> ny1 have ny idea how to use AIRCRACK-ng  ......... ??
[13:01] <gaelfx> tr43nd: system monitor should show you how long you've been up
[13:01] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: you just add the ppa of the desired package to you repository list
[13:01] <tr43nd> I need to knov my time install,
[13:01] <Paddy_NI> ankur: If your wifi card capable of scanning?
[13:01] <Paddy_NI> *Is
[13:02] <Klaus_Dieter> sacarlson: until at some point in time an ubuntu package  has the pity to include it in universe?
[13:02] <Klaus_Dieter> ! universe
[13:02] <Klaus_Dieter> ! multiverse
[13:02] <Klaus_Dieter> forgive my probably stupid questions, I am kinda new to ubuntu land
[13:02] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: example  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily
[13:02] <rlp10> gaelfx: ah, the PPA package is for maverick not lucid :(
[13:02] <Ghostly> pcperson1, i had a similar problem, i fixed it using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202
[13:02] <gaelfx> tr43nd: scratch that, I was disillusionating
[13:02] <tr43nd> I knov command uptime in terminal, but I wanna knov my first time install
[13:03] <tr43nd> ok
[13:03] <Klaus_Dieter> sacarlson: ah cool there is acommand to do the editing of the apt sources file :)
[13:03] <rlp10> gaelfx: is there anything I can do to help upgrade the package in lucid?
[13:03] <pcperson1> okay, thanks Ghostly
[13:03] <pcperson1> I will try that
[13:03] <gaelfx> rlp10: you could contact the guy who's running the ppa
[13:03] <Ghostly> pcperson1, more spesifically chroot
[13:03] <Faustus2> When using the arrowkeys to jump from file to file, and when reaching the end of a row of files, nautilus used to jump one row down. It does not do this anymore. Is there an option for this?
[13:03] <gaelfx> rlp10: alternatively, you could just install it by hand right now
[13:03] <Klaus_Dieter> ! ppa
[13:03] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: you can also add it within synaptic
[13:03] <Morl> tr43nd: stat /*  (the earliest date listed)
[13:04] <amin> how knows NginX
[13:04] <Klaus_Dieter> sacarlson: no cli is perfect, I just installed a natty box without X on an old p2
[13:04] <rlp10> gaelfx: download, make, make install?
[13:05] <gaelfx> rlp10: or if they have a .deb that might be a little safer/easier
[13:05] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: rather than upgrade I use backports and ppa to get my new stuf that I need or want
[13:05] <dr_spork> Dhcp has stopped working for me, and I can't connect to my wireless network. Any ideas on how I might troubleshoot this?
[13:06] <Klaus_Dieter> dr_spork: most integrated route boxes are plain pieces of shit that need to be rebooted regularily
[13:06] <gaelfx> dr_spork: my first thought would be with an ethernet cable, do you actualy have access to the router or not?
thans
[13:06] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: with this method you can backout if something doesn't work easier
[13:06] <rlp10> gaelfx: is the website pkgs.org well known? considered vaguely trustworthy?
[13:06] <Klaus_Dieter> dr_spork: try this first
[13:06] <rlp10> gaelfx: i've found a package on there
[13:06] <Klaus_Dieter> sacarlson: that is a good idea - ok so I will have to register to create an own ppa?
[13:07] <juk> whatsup with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/570562/ i enabled disable execute bit, in bios protection
[13:07] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: yes to create one,  or you can become a part of a team that modifies a group or one package
[13:07] <gaelfx> rlp10: um, I think that one's ok, but might wanna ask some other folks
[13:07] <Klaus_Dieter> sacarlson: so if there is no miniupnp ppa already I better create one?
[13:08] <dr_spork> I tried rebooting the router but it's working for other machines just not one.
[13:08] <juk> and i have that 'pae' flag in cpuinfo
[13:08] <dr_spork> No ethernet cable here unfortunately
[13:08] <ryan_> nick comeback89
[13:08] <Ubuntu_JS> hi
[13:08] <sacarlson> Klaus_Dieter: yes if none exist you would just create one,  or if yours is much different than what someone else has already you can still create one
[13:09] <amin> any one knows Nginx plz help
[13:09] <Ubuntu_JS> what is the command to updte all of the security and patches when i first log into my ubuntu server?
[13:09] <comeback89> hey guys
[13:09] <jrib> !apt | Ubuntu_JS
[13:09] <surial> Ubuntu_JS: apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:09] <surial> Ubuntu_JS: with sudo in front, of course.
[13:10] <amin> nginx help needed
[13:10] <comeback89> anyone know how to set up remote access to a ubuntu server from a laptop? to access mysql, preferrably from terminal??
[13:10] <juk> !openssh | comeback89
[13:10] <sacarlson> dr_spork: so wifi?  maybe show us sudo iwconfig  and add sudo lshw if nothing shows there
[13:10] <gaelfx> comeback89: ssh
[13:10] <surial> YES! Finally, it worked. Updated grub scripts to not request a splash screen and finally this damn machine will boot without a monitor plugged into the back.
[13:10] <Paddy_NI> surial: :D
[13:11] <comeback89> anyone know how to set up remote access to a ubuntu server from a laptop? to access mysql, preferrably from terminal??domain?
[13:11] <juk> !repeat
[13:11] <comeback89> gaelfx: ssh then domain?
[13:12] <dr_spork> Iwconfig shows access point: not associated. But the rest of the interface looks healthy
[13:12] <jigynet> how do i adjust settings on the intel gma in xubuntu?
[13:12] <dr_spork> It sees the networks but can't associate
[13:12] <Ubuntu_JS> surial: thank you
[13:12] <Ubuntu_JS> jrib: thank you
[13:13] <sacarlson> dr_spork:  maybe try sudo iwlist wlan0 scan  ; change wlan0 to your device name
[13:13] <dr_spork> Syslog says "activation (eth1) failed"
[13:13] <ruan> is there a way i can completely remove the trash feature?
[13:14] <Ubuntu_JS> surial: does the dist-upgrade upgrade my version? I only want to only update my 10.04 and not go to the next version
[13:14] <ruan> and just delete permanently
[13:14] <juk> ruan: what it did to you?
[13:14] <amin> How is familiar with NginX
[13:14] <ruan> juk: i prefer things to delete instantly
[13:14] <juk> ruan: ah, nice
[13:14] <comeback89> gaelfx: sorted it, thanks for your help
[13:14] <dr_spork> I don't have sudo privileges on this machine but wiliest eth1 scan returns "interface doesn't support scanning"
[13:15] <juk> ruan: you set it think in nautilus to force remove
[13:15] <strigoi66> admin: Try this site for info wiki.nginx.org
[13:15] <ruan> juk: how? i only got the command that bypasses trash
[13:15] <jigynet> lol
[13:15] <ruan> juk: and that command isn't used when i press del on the keyboard
[13:15] <juk> ruan: you talking trash from nautilus?
[13:16] <ruan> juk: yes
[13:16] <sacarlson> dr_spork: well I'm not sure how you can scan then without having some sudo priv
[13:16] <jigynet> =c
[13:16] <Ubuntu_JS> does the 'apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade' upgrade my version? I only want to only update my 10.04 and not go to the next version
[13:16] <jigynet> no one answered my question =c
[13:16] <r1tz> It updates your apt-get repos
[13:17] <dr_spork> Networkmanager sees networks fine though just doesn't get an ip address properly
[13:17] <strigoi66> ubuntu_JS: apt-get update is what you want to use
[13:17] <ruan> update updates the repos, and upgrade does an upgrade
[13:17] <amin> Nginx helppppppp
[13:17] <juk> ruan: :/ i dont see it in nautlus prefs either
[13:17] <Ubuntu_JS> strigoi66: damn it.. so what does the second command do?
[13:17] <gaelfx> comeback89: np, sorry about afk
[13:18] <ruan> hmm i did a google
[13:18] <Jonii^> Ok, so how do I fix partition table of my system disk?
[13:18] <Jonii^> It lists five different partitions, 4 of which windows shows, and one that is totally weird and should not exist
[13:18] <Ubuntu_JS> strigoi66: I typed it in just like that as someone suggetsed and now it seems to be doing a lot more than just update
[13:18] <ruan> alright google helped
[13:18] <sacarlson> dr_spork: oh ok so is your network encrypted?  try install and use wicd package
[13:18] <Ubuntu_JS> reboot
[13:18] <juk> ruan: you can install nautilus scripts though and write script for you puropse
[13:18] <Jonii^> fdisk, I mean. Also, Ubuntu installer and gparted think my entire disk is unallocated
[13:18] <ruan> gconf-editor apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete
[13:19] <Ubuntu_JS> strigoi66: did i screw my ubuntu 10.04 os?
[13:19] <Jonii^> So, what do I do?
[13:19] <ruan> wait nvm
[13:19] <strigoi66> ubuntu_js: no you should be ok
[13:19] <dr_spork> Yep it's wpa. Can't install any packages without wifi though. Interestingly I was able to connect by manually setting an ip address but couldn't access the Internet
[13:19] <cryptops1> how can i get 1920x1080 console resolution? can vesa do it?
[13:20] <ruan> Admin > sys > shortcuts > delete.. hmm i'll try that
[13:20] <Ubuntu_JS> strigoi66: ok whew thank you
[13:20] <dr_spork> Anyone know what the stock numbers are for "netmask" and "gateway"?
[13:21] <Ubuntu_JS> strigoi66: i just got my new server and they gave me some wierd pasword how do i change my root pass?
[13:21] <sacarlson> dr_spork: do you have another system that does have access to the net?  maybe aptoncd could be used to install what you need offline
[13:21] <dr_spork> Just my phone which I don't think can run apt
[13:21] <LjL> dr_spork: there isn't really a stock number, but try 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.0.1 (or 192.168.0.100 or other simple numbers), and 255.0.0.0 and 10.0.0.1 (or .100 etc) respectively
[13:21] <Paddy_NI> sacarlson: I highly recommend Keryx over aptoncd
[13:22] <strigoi66> ubuntu_js: sorry man im still new give me a sec ill try to search for the info!
[13:22] <overclucker> Ubuntu_JS: do you wanto change your password or root's password?
[13:22] <sacarlson> Paddy_NI: seems nether of those options will work without another system
[13:22] <Paddy_NI> sacarlson: oh... gah
[13:23] <Ubuntu_JS> overclucker: both
[13:23] <juk> whatsup with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/570562/ i enabled disable execute bit, in bios protection
[13:23] <sacarlson> dr_spork: oh can you just turn the encryption off on the router long enuf to install wicd ?
[13:23] <overclucker> Ubuntu_JS: it's recommended that you not change root password,
[13:23] <sacarlson> dr_spork:  that's was stupid of me without another system how could you
[13:23] <Ubuntu_JS> overclucker: they gave me some strange root pass
[13:24] <overclucker> Ubuntu_JS: but if you feel you must, run: passwd
[13:25] <Ubuntu_JS> overclucker: thank you.  Is there an easy command to use for createing a user id for my admin to come in using his own password? so I dont have to share my root pas with him?
[13:25] <sacarlson> dr_spork: you must be thinking if  you setup a static address it will work but I don't think it will
[13:25] <juk> is there any tools i can use to play with bios, like patching etc.?
[13:26] <Paddy_NI> juk: dosbox i guess
[13:26] <dr_spork> Yup it's connecting to the router that way but still not Internet
[13:26] <ruan> how do i make the delete key delete a file permanently without going to trash?
[13:26] <sacarlson> dr_spork: can you ping the router?
[13:26] <ruan> i dont feel like pressing shift every single time.
[13:27] <Paddy_NI> ruan: hold shift when you press it
[13:27] <overclucker> Ubuntu_JS: sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash username
[13:27] <ruan> Paddy_NI: i want to press one key.. windows could do this
[13:27] <juk> !info dosbox
[13:27] <Paddy_NI> ruan: there is an option for it on kde not sure about gnome
[13:28] <juk> Paddy_NI: sure?
[13:28] <sacarlson> dr_spork:  I think all you have is a wifi access point Associated connection,  that's before encryption
[13:28] <Paddy_NI> ruan: look in gconf-editor under apps>nautilus
[13:28] <jrib> Ubuntu_JS: just use: adduser USERNAME
[13:28] <Ubuntu_JS> overclucker: thank you, so where you have 'username' i put his user name correct? and what password do i set for him? or i should say where?
[13:28] <overclucker> Ubuntu_JS: if you wn;t them to be able to login, you should set a password for them with sudo passwd username
[13:28] <Paddy_NI> juk: yes as most bios flashing tools are for use with windows
[13:28] <Paddy_NI> juk: well dos
[13:29] <Ubuntu_JS> overclucker: ok got yea
[13:29] <sacarlson> dr_spork: otherwise you could use something like dhclient wlan0  to create a full connection
[13:29] <juk> Paddy_NI: that doesnt looks good, dosbox is a dos games emulator, not particulary related to what i asked
[13:30] <Paddy_NI> juk: woops I meant freedos
[13:30] <Petfrogg> hello!
[13:30] <juk> !freedos
[13:30] <mer_ge> stupid question, but can I change my password as usual, when I choose to encrypt my home (during install)?
[13:30] <juk> !dosemu
[13:30] <Petfrogg> i have a hard time figure why i can not "Enable wireless"
[13:31] <strigoi66> mer_ge: yes
[13:31] <juk> !bochs
[13:31] <Ubuntu_JS> in order to use x11vnc, do i have to also install ubuntu desktop into my ubuntu server? I already have ubuntu server 10.04 on it already
[13:31] <mer_ge> thanks
[13:31] <sacarlson> mer_ge: your encrypted password can be different than your login password,  if you change one it will cause problems
[13:31] <Pici> !fishing | juk
[13:32] <juk> Pici: thanks, he doesnt know anything about these
[13:32] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: it might be an rfkill thing
[13:32] <ruan> wow, i accidently pressed ctrl alt f2
[13:33] <ruan> went into some console..
[13:33] <Paddy_NI> !info freedos | juk
[13:33] <Petfrogg> rfkill
[13:33] <mer_ge> sacarlson so when I encrypt my /home during install, I can't change my password later on without problems?
[13:33] <Petfrogg> gonna google it
[13:33] <Paddy_NI> hmm
[13:33] <AbhijiT> ruan, you can come back using ctrl alt f7 or f8
[13:33] <Klaus_Dieter> is webmin available for ubuntu?
[13:33] <juk> Paddy_NI: yeah already checked
[13:33] <ruan> AbhijiT: thanks
[13:33] <Petfrogg> just that on ubuntu 9 it came up by itself
[13:33] <ruan> is there a way i can disable ctrl alt f2?
[13:33] <Petfrogg> gonna google rfkill
[13:33] <juk> Paddy_NI: you confusing with dos games mate
[13:33] <Paddy_NI> juk: nope
[13:33] <overclucker> raun, haha, think xserver is on c-a-f7 of f8
[13:34] <sacarlson> mer_ge: I have seen people here that have changed later and found that changing there login password broke the encryption setup in there home dir
[13:34] <AbhijiT> ruan, there are 6 ttys you can acces them via ctrl alt f1/2/3/4/5/6
[13:34] <AbhijiT> ruan, i dunno how to disable them
[13:34] <ruan> AbhijiT: ok
[13:34] <researcher1> Is it possible to avoid  displaying usernames on welcome screen of ubuntu?
[13:34] <ardchoille> researcher1: yes
[13:35] <researcher1> ardchoille: how can I do that?
[13:35] <sacarlson> mer_ge: you should create a nonencyrpted user just in case
[13:35] <ardchoille> researcher1: System > Administration > Login screen
[13:35] <ardchoille> researcher1: uncheck "show list of users"
[13:35] <evelyette> hey
[13:35] <researcher1> ardchoille: thanks
[13:35] <ardchoille> yw
[13:36] <mer_ge> sacarlson okay good to know
[13:36] <sacarlson> mer_ge: I mean to add a spare user that isn't encrypted in the event of failure of your normal account
[13:36] <mer_ge> sure
[13:36] <Petfrogg> sacarlson: Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes
[13:36] <Petfrogg> i suppose that is a problem
[13:37] <Klaus_Dieter> AbhijiT: man inittab - there you will find that the thing is configured the ubuntu way in /Etc/init
[13:37] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: ya that's bad
[13:37] <andreamorim> oi
[13:37] <sogeking99> hey guys, i made a bootable usb with ubuntu on it for my asus laptop(http://www.ebuyer.com/product/237739) switched boot priority to usb but i just get a messege 'boot error'
[13:37] <Klaus_Dieter> check the tty files there
[13:37] <overclucker> ruan: you should be able to rename them in /etc/event.d/ and they sill stop working
[13:37] <andreamorim> alguem consegue configurar o Kismet
[13:37] <ruan> overclucker: ok
[13:38] <andreamorim> ola
[13:38] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: there must be a botton the changes a light someplace to fix the hard block part,  the other soft block can be fixed with rfkill
[13:38] <ardchoille> !br | andreamorim
[13:38] <juk> Paddy_NI: i meant smthing like http://www.coreboot.org/Welcome_to_coreboot
[13:38] <ruan> is there a way i can recover files from ntfs > ext?
[13:39] <Petfrogg> sacarlson: this is a Thinkpad Z61p so suppose there is something that it does not start as default
[13:39] <ruan> if it has been converted
[13:39] <overclucker> ruan: i meant /etc/init.d
[13:39] <Petfrogg> maybe i can fix it in bios
[13:39] <sogeking99> anyone know what i can do?
[13:39] <Ubuntu_JS> how do i ad someone to the sudoer file?
[13:39] <andreamorim> alguem fala portugues
[13:39] <jrib> Ubuntu_JS: just add the user to the admin group (sudo adduser USERNAME admin)
[13:39] <overclucker> ruan: gr again, it;s /etc/init/
[13:39] <sacarlson> ruan: yes cp -a /path/to/ntfs/  /path/to/extX/
[13:40] <ruan> sacarlson: i mean on a drive that converted to ext
[13:40] <Ubuntu_JS> jrib: does that add the user to the sudoer file so they can use sudo access?
[13:40] <strigoi66> sogeking99: what did u use to create the usb disk
[13:40] <ardchoille> andreamorim: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado.
[13:40] <jrib> Ubuntu_JS: it adds the user to the admin group.  In a default ubuntu install the admin group is in sudoers
[13:41] <sogeking99> usb-creator
[13:41] <sacarlson> ruan: what is ext?  external usb drive?
[13:41] <ruan> sacarlson: ext is the filesystem
[13:41] <neofang> ubuntu_js what is your problem
[13:41] <strigoi66> sogeking99: maybe try a different source or try to re-create the boot disk
[13:41] <Paddy_NI> juk: Yeah the free linux bios... nice if you can get it to work on your hardware :)
[13:42] <madjoe> how can I check available disk space on disk? df -1 ?
[13:42] <ruan> linux bios...?
[13:42] <jigynet> is there nm10 fan control for ubuntu?
[13:42] <sacarlson> ruan: you can copy files from ntfs to ext4 the only difference is that when they become ext4 files they will now have user names and priv
[13:42] <sogeking99> it worked when i dested it on my pc, though i added a folder to it by mistake, i have deleted it. would that affect it?
[13:42] <Ubuntu_JS> neofang: i am new and trying to set up so that my admin can come in and work on my server to get me set up
[13:42] <juk> Paddy_NI: yeah, but my chances not much
[13:42] <billmania> Anyone have an external USB webcam working with Skype beta with ubuntu 10.10? My camera works fine with xawtv and Skype sees the /dev/video0 device, but Skype can't read the video stream from it.
[13:43] <neofang> Ubuntu_JS,  you must set up x server
[13:43] <elisa87> is anyone familiar with disk tracing?
[13:43] <Paddy_NI> juk: well providing it does not brick your motherboard I would say give it a go... and remember it is not supported by canonical
[13:43] <strigoi66> sogeking99: it may have I have not tested one yet due to the pc I use is pre 2k
[13:43] <ruan> sacarlson: i mean, my ntfs was formatted into ext4, can i recover the files that were on the old ntfs before they were formatted?
[13:43] <jrib> neofang: why do you say Ubuntu_JS needs an x server?
[13:44] <Ubuntu_JS> neofang: set up x server? is this same as x11vnc?
[13:44] <sogeking99> ok thanks i will redo it
[13:44] <juk> Paddy_NI: hope so, i'll give it a shot
[13:44] <neofang> Ubuntu_JS,  yes
[13:44] <neofang> Ubuntu_JS,  desktop
[13:44] <sacarlson> ruan: oh IC sounds like a job for the FBI foresic lab,  I sure couldn't do it
[13:44] <ruan> sacarlson: lol
[13:44] <researcher1> how to identify IP address of thje netowrk printer
[13:44] <khrm> ruan: Try testdisk
[13:45] <ruan> khrm: where is that available
[13:45] <Ubuntu_JS> neofang: so in order to do that do I need to install ubuntu desktop when i type 'tasksel'
[13:45] <khrm> ruan: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
[13:45] <ruan> khrm: ah found it
[13:45] <ruan> khrm: ubuntu soft center
[13:45] <ruan> thanks
[13:45] <jrib> Ubuntu_JS: you only need to do that if you actually want ubuntu-desktop
[13:46] <ruan> i hope the files still exist on there
[13:46] <neofang> Ubuntu_JS,  yes
[13:46] <Ubuntu_JS> jrib: ? i dont know. I want to install x11vnc on my server so i can use vnc to admin my server
[13:46] <jrib> !vnc | Ubuntu_JS
[13:46] <sacarlson> ruan: you could try dd the disk and if you have a txt file with a book you wrote you might do a string search for a phrase to find a point to start a data grab
[13:46] <jrib> Ubuntu_JS: well you can install ubuntu-desktop if you want, but you could also install some lighter window manager along with X
[13:46] <Ubuntu_JS> neofang: so I need to install ubuntu desktop even though I have ubuntu server already loaded? this will allow me to use x11vnc to have gui interface to it?
[13:47] <sacarlson> ruan: other than text I would say hopeless
[13:47] <DarkSector> I'd like to instally python-webkitgtk on 10.04 but its not present in the repository. Its available in 10.10 though. How can I find this package/repository for 10.04. Google doesn't show this, except a tarball to compile from source
[13:47] <neofang> Ubuntu_JS, yes
[13:47] <andreamorim> como se configura o kismet
[13:47] <andreamorim> please
[13:47] <andreamorim> please kismet
[13:47] <jrib> !pt | andreamorim
[13:47] <juk> !kismet
[13:47] <sogeking99> whats the best usb creator?
[13:47] <juk> !info kismet
[13:48] <jrib> DarkSector: python-webkit is in lucid
[13:48] <jrib> !info python-webkit lucid | DarkSector
[13:48] <Ubuntu_JS> neofang: ic, yes my admin insist that i have x11vnc loaded for adminstring the server ... so i should then load ubuntu desktop and then install x11vnc on the server correct?
[13:49] <DarkSector> jrib: oh shit, thanks
[13:49] <ruan> what does "write partition structure to disk" do?
[13:49] <Paddy_NI> Ubuntu_JS: all you need on the server is X and a window manager
[13:49] <gsfai> Is there a way to setup my computer so when i start it up, it will automatically log in my account, start up startup programs, then lock screen ?
[13:49] <Paddy_NI> Ubuntu_JS: installing ubuntu-desktop for that would be overkill
[13:50] <ruan> it sounds as if it is overwriting my partition with ntfs
[13:50] <ruan> but it probably isnt
[13:50] <sacarlson> raun: sounds like something that will do a dd of about 512 bytes of a disk to preserve to allow for a recover if needed
[13:50] <gsfai> I probably have to put the "gnome-screensaver" thingy in the startup applications, but it will run everytime i login, not only when i start the PC up
[13:50] <deuterium> does anybody know a good replacement for gnome's virtual pager? one like that we used in the old days with fvwm2 that supported moving windows on the same virtual page too?
[13:50] <ruan> write partition table?
[13:50] <Ubuntu_JS> paddy_ni: IC.. but will the X-server give all the rich interface as the Ubuntu desktop with similar look and feel?
[13:50] <Klaus_Dieter> gsfai:  configure your display manager to autologin, then setup your .xinitrc
[13:51] <Klaus_Dieter> gsfai: in your xinitrc you want to run xlock or something like that
[13:51] <Paddy_NI> Ubuntu_JS: if you choose to install gnome
[13:51] <Ubuntu_JS> paddy_ni: yes I think gnome was installed on my old server as well
[13:52] <Paddy_NI> Ubuntu_JS: then fire ahead let us know how you get on
[13:52] <Ubuntu_JS> paddy_ni: in fact he tar balled my entrire old server that was 10.04 lts ubuntu and said that I can down load the tarball to my new server and just creconfig it
[13:52] <sacarlson> ruan: oh or it could be the reverse taking a prestored or created structure and writing to the partition sectors of a disk
[13:52] <Paddy_NI> Ubuntu_JS: who?
[13:53] <juk> Paddy_NI: also fyi http://www.openfirmware.info/Open_Firmware
[13:53] <Ubuntu_JS> paddy_ni: the guy who administered my old server
[13:53] <jrib> gsfai: well a kludgy way would be to create some file when your computer boots then have a script run when you login that checks for that file, if it exists: lock screen and delete file.  You can use gnome-screensaver-command --lock by the way to lock the screen.
[13:53] <Paddy_NI> juk: ah yeah nice :)
[13:53] <gsfai> jrib: yea i was thinking of a lock file too
[13:53] <andreamorim> alguem aqui fala portugues
[13:53] <Paddy_NI> Ubuntu_JS: then you should really ask him
[13:53] <Ubuntu_JS> paddy_ni: he stated he wrote a lot of custom scripts so to save all that i needed to tarball my entire server and i can replicate it on the new server
[13:54] <khrm> ruan: It will write the original partition table and delete the existing one. Backup everything before proceeding with that step else if you want to just recover some files use photorec or foremost
[13:54] <jrib> andreamorim: aqui nao.  faz « /join #ubuntu-br » para ajuda em portugues
[13:54] <dtcrshr> !pt andreamorim
[13:54] <AzizLight> hi everybody
[13:54] <dtcrshr> !portuguese andreamorim
[13:55] <gsfai> dtcrshr: its !br :P
[13:55] <dtcrshr> !portuguese | andreamorim
[13:55] <dtcrshr> oh, sorry
[13:55] <AzizLight> I read somewhere about a notational velocity clone for linux, but I forgot the name, could someone please remind me of the name please?
[13:55] <dtcrshr> ill quit, flooded enought :D
[13:55] <gsfai> yup
[13:55] <Petfrogg> sacarlson: yes the button for activating the wireless does not work
[13:56] <andreylosev> this channel is for casual conversation, you might have more luck in #linuxmint-help
[13:56] <dtcrshr> whereas portuguese and br goes the same way
[13:56] <andreylosev> oops sorry
[13:56] <Pici> andreylosev: No, this channel is for Ubuntu Support.
[13:56] <andreylosev> I know pici
[13:56] <Pici> andreylosev: okay :)
[13:56] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: does it work in windows?
[13:56] <andreylosev> but since #linuxmint-help doesn't have a bot I've set up a text replacement system.
[13:57] <andreylosev> and right now it's working against me. ok no more offtopic
[13:57] <gsfai> jrib: well i concluded, ill place a script in init.d, to place a file somewhere, a startup bash script will search for it each time i login, and if it finds it, it will delete it, and lock screen.
[13:57] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: can you turn the soft switch on with rfkill?
[13:57] <gsfai> flawless
[13:57] <Petfrogg> sacarlson: havent used windows on it on ages. gonna first try to get it on with rfkill
[13:57] <Petfrogg> hold on
[13:58] <overclucker> gsfai: why not just search for it, if it's not there, run a script, and then touch the file(/tmp or /dev/shm would be a nice place for it)
[13:59] <hemu_> can someone help me, am newbie with linux
[13:59] <Paddy_NI> !ask | hemu_
[13:59] <hemu_> !ask help
[14:00] <miketomdool> xD
[14:00] <hemu_> !ask problem while installing on laptop
[14:00] <miketomdool> lol hemu dont put !ask infornt of your questions xD
[14:01] <hemu_> problem while installing on laptop
[14:01] <miketomdool> whats your problem while instaliing?
[14:01] <hemu_> miketomdool i don't get display while installing
[14:02] <danub> im trying to install vmware tools on 10.10 but its complaining about linux header files. I googled and see this issue didn't have a fix on the ubuntu forums. can i remove the current linux-headers and then reget them? maybe there was an issue with the install
[14:02] <jrib> !vmware | danub
[14:02] <Petfrogg> sacarlson: yes i can unblock the softblock using rfkill
[14:03] <miketomdool> hemu_ is it a graphic problem youre saying?
[14:03] <danub> jrib: its installed on a windows system. im just trying to get the vmware tools on the ubuntu vmware
[14:03] <gsfai> overclucker: and have init.d delete it every time, its kinda the same thing
[14:03] <jrib> danub: read the link
[14:03] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: so maybe the hard switch works only when soft is unblocked?
[14:03] <Petfrogg> seems like the button for wifi is connected to the bluetoot  button
[14:03] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: start pushing some bottons and looking at events
[14:03] <overclucker> gsfai: use /dev/shm
[14:03] <andreamorim> I need help to configure Kismet
[14:04] <danub> yeah, that takes me to the same article i was reading
[14:04] <gsfai> never heard of shm, what is it?
[14:04] <overclucker> gsfai: dev/shm is tmpfs
[14:04] <danub> jrib: can i downgrade back to 10.04?
[14:04] <gsfai> ah
[14:04] <Petfrogg> hehe
[14:04] <jrib> danub: what step exactly are you on and what exactly is happening?
[14:04] <Petfrogg> tried som different stuff and some works great . 8 )
[14:04] <gsfai> well, init scripts run with root, so ill just touch /home/gsfai/.firstlogin
[14:04] <Petfrogg> now where is that wireless
[14:04] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: wow cool
[14:04] <danub> the very bottom of the vmware server page where it talks about the /usr/src/linux/include directory
[14:05] <jrib> gsfai: use su to create the file as your user or chown the file (so your user can delete it later)
[14:05] <Petfrogg> accidential hit the sleep button
[14:05] <jrib> danub: didn't you ask about vmware tools?
[14:05] <gsfai> jrib: the startup file will be like "touch blah, chown blah gsfai"
[14:05] <ylmfos> ?
[14:05] <jrib> gsfai: ok
[14:05] <danub> jrib, yeah. and at the bottom of that page, it talks about the vmware tools not installing and no one has a fix yet
[14:06] <neofang> ylmf 你是哪里的
[14:06] <overclucker> gsfai: so . . .: [ -e /dev/shm/booted ] && ./script && touch /dev/shm/booted
[14:06] <Jinxed--> I need to copy a backup image of my systsem from an external harddrive to a internal harddrive but im out of usb ports. I only have the ennough for usb thumbdrive which im using to boot a live version of ubuntu. Is it possibly to somehow set up a network where I could copy from an external drive connected to a different laptop to an internal drive from my live usb?
[14:06] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[14:06] <Petfrogg> sacarlson, can i just turn it on in bios?
[14:06] <theos> why do i get bash: ./configure: Permission denied when i use ./configure ?? i tried chmod +x too but doesnt work even as root :(
[14:07] <jrib> theos: what are you compiling?
[14:07] <erUSUL> theos: what filesystem?
[14:07] <compdoc> Jinxed--, sure
[14:07] <andreamorim> I need help to configure Kismet
[14:07] <cak054> One! Two! Five!
[14:07] <Jinxed--> compdoc, how would I got about setting that up?
[14:07] <theos> jrib, i am compiling eggdrop bot for irc
[14:07] <theos> erUSUL, filesystem is fat32
[14:07] <jrib> theos: eggdrop is in the repositories.  Don't compile it, use apt instead
[14:07] <ikonia> that's not a compiled software product is it ?
[14:08] <AndrewMC> !chinese | neofang
[14:08] <erUSUL> theos: probably is mounted noexec
[14:08] <compdoc> Jinxed--, attach the drive, share it with samba, or whatever you like, then copy. I would suggest using rsync
[14:08] <compdoc> to copy
[14:08] <sacarlson> Petfrogg: sometimes yes it can be turned on in bios
[14:08] <theos> jrib, yes its already installed. i wanted to add some modules to it. dont know other methods to install new modules without compiling it again
[14:08] <neofang> #ubuntu-cn
[14:08] <histo> Jinxed--: clonezilla can do that
[14:09] <Petfrogg> ok cause somehow on upgrading from ubuntu 9 to 10 this happens
[14:09] <histo> Jinxed--: it can do networked backups etc...
[14:09] <brince> salut
[14:09] <theos> erUSUL, can you tell me how to mount it without noexec? or check if its mounted with that?
[14:10] <brince> j'ais une consommation cpu tros eleves dans mon serveur
[14:10] <erUSUL> theos: check the apropiate line in « cat /proc/mounts  » output
[14:10] <erUSUL> !fr | brince
[14:10] <brince> je ne sais pas les causes
[14:10] <jrib> danub: so why doesn't https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools work for you.  Can you say *exactly* what you are doing?  Not point to some vague location in a wiki page that someone else wrote?
[14:10] <brince> a connaitre que j'ais un application qui tourne de dans
[14:10] <jrib> !fr | brince
[14:10] <brince> application web
[14:11] <theos> erUSUL, yes you were right. it has noexec. how to remove that? fstab?
[14:12] <danub> jrib: at the very bottom of that page, it's exactly what my problem is and there doesn't appear to be a solution. vmware tools cant find the linux header files to build vmware tools. I point it to the right directory, and it says its the wrong version
[14:12] <erUSUL> theos: do not think so; probably it was mounted via udisks or something like that. try « sudo mount -o remount,exec  /mount/point/ » but i do not see the point of all this; just copy the sources to your home
[14:13] <jrib> danub: it's not clear to me why you are not installing the tools from the repositories, it's the first thing the link I gave you suggests
[14:15] <theos> erUSUL, any idea what should be the umask for file and directory permisions in octal? so that i can exec on that partition?
[14:15] <erUSUL> theos: noexec has nothing to do with permissions. if a partition is noexec you can not execute anything in it no matter the permissions
[14:16] <theos> oh
[14:19] <spaceninja> hi, Im trying to run a java program with java program.jar but I get this error http://dpaste.com/437827/
[14:19] <spaceninja> what might be the problem?
[14:19] <[4-tea-2]> spaceninja: I think the correct way is "java -jar program.jar"
[14:20] <kjelle> in my "who" list, what does this strange hostname mean: xxxxx      pts/16       2011-02-15 19:42 (ip-151:S.0)
[14:20] <spaceninja> [4-tea-2], ah, it works, thanks
[14:21] <[4-tea-2]> kjelle: try "who --ips", perhaps that helps.
[14:22] <kjelle> same =)
[14:22] <theos> erUSUL, thanks a lot :)i now know the problem atleast
[14:22] <erUSUL> theos: no problem
[14:23] <[4-tea-2]> kjelle: there goes my theory about your router returning phantasy hostnames when receiving a DNS lookup for an RFC1918 address.
[14:23] <kjelle> nod
[14:23] <kjelle> must be some wicked stuff from my server provider
[14:25] <kjelle> I just had some network problems, and a lot of ssh clients disconnected. Now, some are back with login time like in januar. They might be dead or something. Tho, wicked, all got thrown out a few hours ago :-)
[14:25] <[4-tea-2]> Hmmm. I would probably panic and suspect foul play.
[14:25] <kjelle> hehe
[14:25] <kjelle> nah, buddies of mine
[14:26] <[4-tea-2]> ...not by your buddies, but by a third party.
[14:26] <kjelle> ah, hmm
[14:26] <ruan> cant boot now
[14:26] <kjelle> idle times seems ok
[14:26] <shal3r> Client is telling me that his server is configured to mirror data on both hard drives. Am i right that it's using only SDA drive? http://pastebin.com/eJ6gtYD8
[14:26] <shal3r> # cat /proc/mdstat \ Personalities : \ unused devices: <none>
[14:27] <ruan> grub says can't find device [device-name-long-string]
[14:27] <jpds> shal3r: Erm, did you ask this yesterday?
[14:27] <[4-tea-2]> kjelle: well, there are probably bugs that can corrupt wtmp.
[14:27] <shal3r> jpds, yes and nobody answered
[14:27] <ruan> i tried to recover files from boot drive and it messed up my boot
[14:27] <jpds> shal3r: Try #ubuntu-server
[14:28] <ruan> how can i change my drive back to ext without messing up the files?
[14:28] <nerdy_kid> when I run ls in a folder of mine, one of the files shows red.  What does that mean exactly?  thanks
[14:28] <kjelle> [4-tea-2]: mm. no illegal traffic to/from past day, no suspect processes etc. I guess the box got some issues as the network was a bit fubar. Okey, thank you :-)
[14:28] <histo> ruan: you can't unless you move hte files and put them back on there
[14:28] <histo> ruan: you can't just change file systems and keep the files there
[14:28] <lgl> Hi
[14:28] <_Alex__> hi
[14:28] <shal3r> jpds, ok, thanks
[14:28] <lgl> Are there any Macbook Air users in here?
[14:28] <[4-tea-2]> ruan: long strings are usually UUIDs. Sometimes it helps to use device names instead (if the UUID has changed for some reason).
[14:29] <zero-hell> hi..newbie here.
[14:29] <jrib> nerdy_kid: broken symlink
[14:29] <histo> !anyone | lgl
[14:29] <jrib> nerdy_kid: (probably)
[14:29] <llutz_> ruan: if UUIDs changed, use a live-cd to fix grub and/or /etc/fstab
[14:29] <_Alex__> lgl: No, bit still, wha's the problem
[14:29] <_Alex__> *but
[14:29] <ruan> llutz_: is it possible to boot off ntfs?
[14:29] <shal3r> afaik, no
[14:29] <ruan> :/
[14:29] <nerdy_kid> jrib I dont think thats it, it is a perl script and both it and it's simlink work
[14:30] <llutz_> ruan: you'llneed writeaccess to your linux-system. so:  unlikely
[14:30] <lgl> I have followed the installation instructions for a MacBook Air 3,2, and everything is working except that none of the drivers in the mactel packages work
[14:30] <histo> ruan: yeah
[14:30] <sss> Is there a program I can use to log all packets I send/recieve?
[14:30] <lgl> So, no multitouch touchpad, no brightness, no special keys and no bluetooth
[14:30] <Pumpkin-> sss: tcpdump / wireshark
[14:30] <_Alex__> Too bad
[14:30] <ruan> lgl: how is this related to ubuntu?
[14:30] <jrib> nerdy_kid: well check your $LS_COLORS then
[14:30] <sss> Pumpkin-, thanks
[14:30] <lgl> ruan: Um well I'm running Meerkat on it
[14:31] <ruan> ok
[14:31] <nerdy_kid> jrib ok thanks :)  I thought there was an environment var somewhere that i could check.
[14:31] <jrib> nerdy_kid: apparently archives or compressed also show up in red
[14:32] <lgl> Apparently nobody else in the forums have the same problem but I just can't figure out what's wrong, so I was hoping to find someone else on an Air
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> wee need to get a ls colors in ubuntu wiki page setup someday :)
[14:32] <jrib> danub: did the repositories work?
[14:33] <adamthehack> hai all
[14:33] <_Alex__> hi
[14:33] <dehuman> ubuntu comes with compiz but not ccsm, is there a reason? like some type of 'enforced' defaults or some type of design goal?
[14:34] <jrib> dehuman: probably just not to overwhelm with options
[14:34] <dehuman> makes sense, i am overwhelmed presently ;)
[14:34] <jrib> dehuman: there should also be simple-ccsm
[14:35] <ruan> heres the story: i tried to recover files on my boot drive, and it changed the partition table to ntfs. couldnt boot after, but i can access the drive
[14:35] <sinisterstuf> I installed mpd in ubuntu and did the configuration but when I run mpc or Ario there are no files to play, what do I do?
[14:36] <ruan> how do i change the partition table back to its original content?
[14:36] <_Alex__> ruan: You did a stupid thing going form EXT* (Where * is a number) to NTFS, and you cant change it back!
[14:36] <histo> ruan: do you have your files off the drive now?
[14:36] <ruan> histo: havent got anything to store the files on.
[14:37] <jrib> sinisterstuf: default location for music is /var/lib/mpd/music
[14:37] <ruan> _Alex__: i didnt know it'd mess up the boot
[14:37] <_Alex__> ruan: how about a USB datastick?
[14:37] <histo> ruan: So what do you want to do exactly? I'm confused
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> ruan:  how many gb of data is it?
[14:37] <ruan> Dr_Willis: 11 gb
[14:37] <AbhijiT> is it possible now to boot from usb? slitaz is installed in my usb. and my guest is super os and my host is ubuntu. in virtual box that is.
[14:37] <AbhijiT> help
[14:37] <histo> ruan: how big is the drive?
[14:37] <ruan> histo: 80 gb
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> If its really imporntant.. its worth finding a usb hard drive to back it up to.
[14:38] <histo> AbhijiT: the non ose edition has usb suport not sure if you can boot from it though
[14:38] <histo> ruan: okay why not move it to a seperate parition, then fix the problem one, and move it back
[14:38] <ruan> i only have a 4gb and a 2gb usb
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> if its REALLY REALLY imporntant. get a usb HD and 'dd' an image of the currupted hard drive to the usb. then try to recover from that image also.
[14:38] <AbhijiT> histo, its nothing to do with 'usb support' its to do wiht 'usb boot'
[14:38] <Pici> !qho
[14:38] <Pici> !who
[14:38] <histo> AbhijiT: I know that's what I said.
[14:39] <AbhijiT> hmm
[14:39] <ruan> how come a drive can change to ntfs but it cant change back to ext without removing the files?
[14:39] <histo> AbhijiT: ose wouldnt' be able to do it. Wouldn't even be remotely possible is all I was trying to hint at.
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> ruan:  it proberly can.. but do you want to risk it...
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> ruan:  you could use gpart5ed and just change the fs type and hit apply. and hope it works...
[14:39] <llutz_> AbhijiT: virtualbox cannot boot from usb, their BIOS doesn't support that
[14:39] <ruan> Dr_Willis: will it boot though?
[14:40] <gcristian> hello guys, does anybody remember the linux command, to change dinamically where my Java Home points to ?
[14:40] <moshind> h?
[14:40] <histo> AbhijiT: also there is #vbox
[14:40] <AbhijiT> llutz_, okay
[14:40] <AbhijiT> histo, i know
[14:40] <gcristian> not with update-alternatives, not changing manually the JAVA_HOME
[14:40] <sinisterstuf> jrib, I changed my music location to ~/Music yet there is nothing to play
[14:41] <jrib> sinisterstuf: don't use ~, use the absolute path from /.  Also, initiate a database update (mpc update)
[14:41] <claint> how do i see the kernel messages in Ubuntu installation cd while it is booting?
[14:41] <histo> AbhijiT: yeah i'm running the newest vbox and no option for usb boot
[14:41] <sinisterstuf> jrib, that didn't work either
[14:41] <AbhijiT> histo, ok
[14:41] <histo> AbhijiT: why not just make an image of the usb drive and boot that
[14:41] <jrib> sinisterstuf: I suggested two things.  What didn't work?
[14:42] <sinisterstuf> jrib, the first one. I'll try the database update, thanks
[14:42] <moshind> ?
[14:43] <ruan> gparted says..
[14:43] <hoangnn> hello everyone
[14:43] <bonjoyee> claint: with upstart the boot messages are too fast to pick up something...unless you are stuck at something..is that the case?
[14:43] <khrm> ruan: No that will not boot. As I think ext? was your /
[14:44] <claint> bonjoyee: I am stuck, and there is nothing in ttyS0 to S5
[14:44] <bonjoyee> claint: you could try the F6 option on the boot cd...and then edit the ubuquity command line
[14:44] <ruan> !paste
[14:45] <bonjoyee> claint: ubiquity*
[14:45] <pareli> dasgssadfsadf
[14:46] <claint> bonjoyee: as in adding boot options: nosplash console=ttyS0 ?
[14:46] <bonjoyee> claint: just removing the "splash" option should do it..
[14:47] <ruan> gparted says it can't open my drive as NTFS
[14:47] <claint> bonjoyee: thanks. I'll go try that.
[14:48] <compdoc> ruan, open the drive? gparted should be able to do everything gparted does no matter what partition
[14:48] <brince> ubottu merci :-)
[14:49] <brince> ubottu: merci :-)
[14:49] <Howler> I am trying to set my domainname, so that sendmail will stop complaining. Do I need to set it to anything specific (like my ISPs' domain or anything)?
[14:50] <ruan> compdoc: i can access the drive, but gparted cant access it as NTFS
[14:50] <compdoc> what is gparted saying?
[14:51] <tomble> how can I see what ipv6 dns server is being used if I connect with aiccu? iptables -j log, tcpdump?
[14:51] <compdoc> gparted is for creating and deleting partitions
[14:51] <ruan> i'll post it
[14:52] <ruan> i need to change the partition table to its original content
[14:52] <ruan> http://imagebin.org/139277
[14:53] <ruan> just note that i can access the drive
[14:53] <dec_> hello
[14:54] <erUSUL> tomble: dig aaaa ipv6.google.com ?
[14:54] <AnAnt> Hello, I have a problem on some machine: if RAID mode is enabled in BIOS (machine default), I get an oops in Ubuntu when it attempts to load ahci module, and it cannot find any drives (neither HDD nor DVD), if I switch the mode to ATA, Ubuntu runs fine, but this results that Windows (windows is pre-installed on that machine) does not boot
[14:55] <tomble> erUSUL: I only see 127.0.0.1#53 :/
[14:56] <erUSUL> tomble: you use a caching dns server in your machine...
[14:56] <erUSUL> tomble: when i do it i see my ipv4 dns servers. i use freent6 tunnel if that helps
[14:57] <erUSUL> tomble: this could be usefull too http://test-ipv6.com/
[14:57] <poveart> #webing_santfeliu
[14:57] <r1tz> AnAnt, what raid card? does it support ubuntu?
[14:57] <erUSUL> !fakeraid | AnAnt
[14:57] <AnAnt> how can I know the RAID card ?
[14:57] <erUSUL> AnAnt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[14:58] <b0ot> I have setup a samba share on one laptop that has an external harddrive with an ubuntu image on it that I want to copy accross the network via a samba share to another computers 2nd harddrive. How would I do this?
[14:58] <r1tz> erUSUL, that won't really help because it will confilct with windows.
[14:58] <histo> b0ot: drag and drop or you can mount it and cp
[14:59] <tomble> erUSUL: thx, I know that test but I want to know how to see the IPv6 dns server I use with sixxs on my machine
[14:59] <histo> d03boy: or dd etc...
[14:59] <erUSUL> r1tz: what will conflict with windows?
[14:59] <histo> b0ot: basically browse from the destination to the share and copy the file over
[14:59] <tomble> erUSUL: If you say you see your ipv4 servers then dig aaaa is not the right option for me
[15:00] <erUSUL> tomble: probably you are not using one. you are using the old one ipv4 only. they have the ipv6 records anyway
[15:00] <ruan> i really hope i dont have to reinstall ubuntu :(
[15:00] <b0ot> histo, wouldn't i need to use dd?
[15:00] <tomble> erUSUL: yep, just stopped the dns cache and I only see the ipv4 dns server
[15:00] <histo> b0ot: well yeah from the destination browse to the share and then use dd > external hd
[15:01] <r1tz> The fake raid and the hardware raid can not/should not be used on the same drives.
[15:01] <histo> b0ot: I would copy the file locally then write it to the second drive just so It didn't take ages but thats me.
[15:01] <CaBa> hi
[15:01] <histo> b0ot: i guess either way it would take the same amount of time.
[15:01] <tomble> erUSUL: that's what I want to know exactly :)
[15:01] <erUSUL> r1tz: fakeraid == hardware raid in most motherboards machines
[15:01] <b0ot> histo, the image is 115 gigs
[15:01] <CaBa> what permissions / group memberships are required to shut down a ubuntu machine from the KDE menu?
[15:02] <histo> b0ot: okay, so whats the problem?
[15:02] <b0ot> histo, how do I browse to the samba share in ubuntu
[15:02] <histo> b0ot: Places > Network
[15:02] <erUSUL> r1tz: note when the ubuntu wiki, this channel and myself say fakeraid we are talking about bios raid like intels, amd and many other
[15:02] <histo> b0ot: but you probably want to mount it
[15:02] <b0ot> So I did a backup of my system using dd to an external hardrive using the entire drive. I now want to copy that image onto my internal hardrive of a networked computer and boot to the image.
[15:02] <histo> b0ot: sudo mkdir /media/share && sudo mount -t cifs //network/location /media/share
[15:02] <ruan> finished in 26 seconds..
[15:03] <histo> b0ot: then you could dd /media/share/nameofimage /dev/whatever
[15:03] <histo> b0ot: sorry with the dd if=/media/share/nameofimage of=/dev/seconddrivename
[15:03] <AnAnt> erUSUL: by the way, I already installed Ubuntu (after setting BIOS to ATA mode), will I have to reinstall ?
[15:03] <ruan> what...
[15:03] <ruan> 1.4 gb free?
[15:04] <b0ot> histo, alright but first I need to do this? sudo mkdir /media/share && sudo mount -t cifs //network/location /media/share
[15:04] <b0ot> because I don't see it in media
[15:04] <erUSUL> AnAnt: if windows is using the bios raid and you want to keep raid and install ubuntu. yes you will have to reinstall afaics
[15:04] <ruan> why is there 1.4 gb free?
[15:04] <histo> b0ot: you have to mount the share.  Either by browsing there with Places > Network and click on it. It will be mounted in /home/username/.gvfs/nameofshare   or on your desktop
[15:04] <mutante> i noticed that my syslog is full of DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK for eth1, every few minutes, then i changed /etc/network/interfaces, so everything is static, nothing mentions dhcp anymore. But now syslog is still full of them...   and i did networking restart and ifdown / ifup ....
[15:05] <r1tz> erUSUL: ok, that makes sense then.
[15:05] <histo> !samba | b0ot
[15:05] <ruan> i just formatted ntfs to ext4 and it says 1.4 gb free
[15:05] <ruan> does it require a reboot?
[15:05] <histo> ruan: who are you talking to and what are you trying to do?
[15:06] <histo> ruan: there is no way you changed the partition type and still had access to your files. So i'm not sure what your problem is
[15:06] <ruan> i still do have access to my files
[15:06] <AnAnt> erUSUL: but those instructions won't work for me
[15:06] <ruan> they were ext4, but the header was ntfs
[15:06] <histo> ruan: then you didn't change the format of the partition you just maybe changed the type code
[15:06] <AnAnt> erUSUL: I am using alternate CD image
[15:06] <llutz_> histo: changing partition-type (id) won't affect the data/filesystem
[15:06] <peakone> ？？
[15:06] <ruan> or something like that
[15:06] <histo> llutz_: I know he is confused
[15:07] <ruan> but what i am wondering is why does it have 1.4 gb left
[15:07] <AnAnt> erUSUL: and it can't even detect the CDROM
[15:07] <ruan> it had 60 gb left
[15:07] <erUSUL> AnAnt: well bad news is you can only intall in a fake/bios raid using the livecd
[15:07] <histo> ruan: can you please paste the output of sudo fdisk -l
[15:07] <AnAnt> aha
[15:07] <peakone> Can you speak Chinese?
[15:07] <histo> ruan: and why are you trying to change the partition type?
[15:07] <llutz_> !cn
[15:07] <Pici> !zh | peakone
[15:08] <ruan> histo: some data recovery program messed up my ext4
[15:08] <histo> ruan: what program?
[15:08] <ruan> cant remember the name
[15:08] <ruan> http://pastebin.com/BnVL6VWC
[15:08] <mutante> which other place besides /etc/network/interfaces could cause DHCPREQUESTS on an interface
[15:08] <histo> ruan: what is your ultimate goal here?
[15:08] <AnAnt> erUSUL: thanks
[15:09] <ruan> histo: i need to get back to ubuntu
[15:09] <histo> ruan: okay is windows on /dev/sda1 ???
[15:09] <ruan> histo: nope, no windows at all
[15:09] <ruan> sdb1 is my main hdd
[15:09] <ruan> with ubuntu
[15:09] <histo> ruan: then what is on /dev/sdb1?
[15:09] <histo> ruan: sry /dev/sda1?
[15:09] <ruan> sda1 is my documents/music drive
[15:10] <histo> ruan: okay well both drives are marked as bootable for some reason. Which drive is grub installed on?
[15:10] <llutz_> ruan: "sudo blkid |grep sda1"
[15:10] <ruan> histo: sda1
[15:10] <histo> wth
[15:10] <ruan> grub installed itself randomly
[15:11] <b0ot> histo, I found the share under /home/username/.gvfs but when I tried the dd command it said permission denied
[15:11] <histo> ruan: no your drives are backwards but whatever.
[15:11] <ruan> i struggled to install ubuntu at first
[15:11] <histo> b0ot: use sudo   and becarefull with dd you can destroy the data on a drive if you get your if and of mixed up
[15:11] <ruan> had to reinstall it 4 times before i realised grub put itself on the other drive
[15:11] <histo> ruan: what are you booted off of now?
[15:11] <ruan> llutz_: what will that do?
[15:11] <b0ot> sudo dd if=/home/comm/.gvgs/share\ on \tom-laptop of=/dev/sda bs=1M
[15:11] <ruan> histo: im on my livecd
[15:11] <zachlr> Trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, I'm getting a "Could not calculate the upgrade" dialog.  It asks me to run the package manager "Error marking the upgrade ... this may be caused by held packages.  This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."  How might I identify which package is causing the problem?
[15:12] <llutz_> ruan: print the filesystem used on sda1
[15:12] <histo> b0ot: no
[15:12] <Hans_Henrik> is there some support channel for gparted? or partimage?
[15:12] <b0ot> histo, ?
[15:12] <histo> b0ot: you need to specify the path to the image not just the share folder.
[15:12] <ruan>  /dev/sda1: LABEL="Local disk" UUID="1A1433381433166B" TYPE="ntfs"
[15:12] <histo> ruan: Okay can you mount /dev/sdb1 ?
[15:12] <b0ot> histo, well the shared folder is the image
[15:12] <ruan> histo: it is mounted atm
[15:13] <histo> b0ot: how'd you make the image?
[15:13] <b0ot> histo, dd
[15:13] <histo> ruan: and are your files there?
[15:13] <ruan> histo: yes
[15:13] <histo> b0ot: okay whats the name of the image file?
[15:13] <ruan> im really confused
[15:13] <histo> ruan: alright sudo cfdisk /dev/sda1  and remove the boot flag.
[15:13] <b0ot> histo, it's not one file... it's an exact copy of a harddrive so it has lots of files and folders
[15:14] <histo> ruan: then reinstall grub to the mbr of /dev/sdb
[15:14] <lazukars> I'm trying to run Eclipse via the command line by typing in eclipse /home/user/eclipse/.  But that errors out saying that eclipse is not installed.  However if i navigate to that folder via nautilus and click on eclipse, then it luanches fine.  Any Ideas?
[15:14] <LikesFruit> When i boot my ubuntu partition it goes strigh to BusyBox any ideas what i can do to fix the problem
[15:14] <histo> b0ot: then you didn't use dd
[15:14] <llutz_> histo: ruan you don't want to run cfdisk on partitions
[15:14] <ruan> histo: how do i install grub to the other drive?
[15:14] <b0ot> histo, I definitally 100% for sure used dd... that is the only way I know how to back things up
[15:14] <histo> llutz_: ruan yeah sorry cfdisk /dev/sda  not /dev/sda1
[15:14] <histo> ruan: grub-install /dev/sdb
[15:14] <histo> !grub | ruan
[15:15] <Raydiation> disk utility is beyond awesome
[15:15] <histo> !grub2 | ruan
[15:15] <histo> b0ot: what commadn did you use to back it up?
[15:15] <ruan> cp: cannot create regular file `/boot/grub/915resolution.mod': Permission denied
[15:15] <b0ot> histo, the share has bin, boot, cdrom, dev, etc, home, lib, lost+found, media.mnt... etc folders and initrd.img, initrd.img.old, vmlinuz, vmlinuz.old files
[15:15] <aguitel> anyway to check and fix divx video in ubuntu ?
[15:16] <ruan> im probably going to have to reinstall ubuntu at this rate
[15:16] <b0ot> histo, sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdc bs=1M
[15:16] <mikelietz> Does anybody else have trouble even seeing particular DVD movies in Nautilus? I have three movie DVDs - only one even shows up. Inserting either of the two other discs doesn't show anything in the browser.
[15:16] <b0ot> because that partition has a 115 gig file system in it
[15:16] <histo> b0ot: well you didn't backup the partition just the files
[15:16] <b0ot> and I also used  sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc bs=1M for 1 to 1 copy of entire harddrive
[15:17] <histo> b0ot: usually you do something like dd if=/dev/sda1 of=backupimage.img    or something similiar
[15:17] <ruan> well bye.. im going to reinstall ubuntu
[15:17] <evelyette> hi, what ubuntu version still uses glibc 2.23 or lower ?
[15:17] <histo> b0ot: well you overwrote you first copy then
[15:18] <geekbri> is 1M always the right value to use for bs?
[15:18] <b0ot> histo, different harddrives
[15:18] <histo> b0ot: not if the destination is still /dev/sdc   sdc will just have hte last command you wrote
[15:18] <b0ot> when i swap externals they are always sdc
[15:18] <llutz_> ruan: http://tinyurl.com/grub2chroot   read and follow the steps. if you don't have any other OS running, /dev/sda is where you want to write grub
[15:18] <histo> b0ot: ohh
[15:18] <histo> b0ot: gotcha
[15:19] <MC8> Hey there; how would I go about remapping my keyboard?
[15:19] <Dr_Willis_> b0ot:  dont trust exteranl usb hd's always being the same letter...
[15:19] <b0ot> Dr_Willis_, I always check with disk utility before I do anything with dd
[15:19] <histo> b0ot: so just sudo dd if=/path/to/share of=/dev/where/ever/you/want/it
[15:19] <b0ot> histo, I tried that with sudo and it said permission denied
[15:20] <Dr_Willis_> b0ot:  you have a image FILE of the drive at /path/to/share ? or  what exactly?
[15:20] <histo> b0ot: can you paste the command and the error you are getting?
[15:20] <histo> Dr_Willis_: no he doesn't have an image file
[15:20] <histo> Dr_Willis_: he writing with dd to the drive root
[15:20] <Dr_Willis_> he should be making a filesystem on the target then and just use cp. (is how im reading this)
[15:21] <histo> Dr_Willis_: yeah he could
[15:21] <Dr_Willis_> histo:  i cant think of any other way :)
[15:21] <histo> Dr_Willis_: actually thats probably why since there isn't an image
[15:21] <b0ot> sudo dd if=/home/comm/.gvfs/share\ on\ tom-laptop/ of=/dev/sda bs=1M
[15:21] <histo> b0ot: look at what Dr_Willis_ is saying^^^^^^
[15:21] <histo> b0ot: yeah you can't do that
[15:21] <b0ot> dd: opening `home/comm/.gvfs/share on tom-laptop/`: Permission denied
[15:21] <Dr_Willis_> You dont 'dd' a directory of files...  you dd a image, or device..
[15:22] <Dr_Willis_> brb
[15:22] <histo> b0ot: you have to create a file system on /dev/sda and cp the files from the share there now. You aren't using dd properly
[15:22] <b0ot> histo, how do I do that then?
[15:22] <llutz_> histo: this is no job for dd at all
[15:22] <b0ot> can I make my share act as a device?
[15:23] <Dr_Willis_> b0ot:  no you cant make a share work as a device
[15:23] <Dr_Willis_> using cp would possibelly be faster also...
[15:23] <Luis_> Hello, I'd like some help please, i've been trying to install ubuntu on my home file server (i'm not v good with terminal so i've been trying to install the desktop version) but every time i log in the screen just goes fuzzy/pixelated and it resets back to the login screen, i was advised here yesterday by somebody to reinstall unbutu, which i just did, well it looked good to start with as at first it loged in no problem, but
[15:23] <Luis_> upon updating ubuntu and restarting as required it's gone back to doing the same, some help would be very much appreciated.
[15:23] <b0ot> Dr_Willis_, how do I copy 115 gigs to an empty drive?
[15:23] <Dr_Willis_> Luis_:  whats your video card for starters...
[15:24] <b0ot> empty being has nothing on it
[15:24] <Dr_Willis_> b0ot:  you make a filesystem on the drive and use cp like you would copy from one cirectory to another...
[15:24] <llutz_> b0ot: create a partition/filesystem on the empty drive, cp the stuff you need
[15:24] <histo> b0ot: thats why normally you should have created the backup wtih dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/usb/drive/imagename.img   then you could mount the share that has the usb drive plugged in and dd if=/share/location/imagename.img of=/dev/sda
[15:24] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, I dont know exactly as its a built in one (old pentium III board)
[15:25] <Dr_Willis_> Luis_:  start with the 'lspci' command  and look for a line mentioning 'vga'  (lspci | grep -e vga)  might show the lines.
[15:25] <Dr_Willis_> using dd to make a backup image also can waste space.  but it all depends on how you want to do things. :)
[15:26] <b0ot> while I'm at it... are there better tools for backing up systems then dd? the problem I have is when I copy back to my internal drives they always have the same UUID which causes issues on which drive is selected at boot despite what the bios says... the other issue is that I'm only using like 15 gigs of space and each backup takes 115 gigs of space since it copies blank space. would something like fsarchiver be better suited for my needs?
[15:26] <eMyller> hey. has anyone tried a multiseat setup on ubuntu? i need some guiding to start. thanks in advance.
[15:26] <llutz_> b0ot: backing up linux-systems? use tar or rsync
[15:26] <eMyller> there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX and http://kahuna.clayton.edu/byron/multiseat-kdm.html . i want to try it, but it must be fail safe, as my main machine is in production right now.
[15:26] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, ok give me a minute, i'll have to restart into terminal
[15:26] <b0ot> llutz will those allow my to copy back and forth from harddrives of different sizes?
[15:26] <jrib> b0ot: partimage if you want to image the whole thing, rsnpashot or rdiff-backup if you want to backup certain files
[15:27] <alisalaah> Ubuntu 10.10 :: I am noticing about 1/2 or even 1/3 of the battery life on Ubuntu compared to when I was using Windows 7 just a few days ago.  Is there any fix for this? (note: I also notice that when I change brightness level the graphical bar moves but my screen doesn't dim or brighten) - I am using an Asus UL50VT which can get up to 9-10 hours life and only getting about 3.
[15:27] <llutz_> b0ot: sure
[15:27] <llutz_> b0ot: it backups filewise
[15:27] <llutz_> b0ot: that just won't work with windows
[15:29] <Dr_Willis_> Luis_:  you can also IRC from  the console with weechat or irssi
[15:29] <Dr_Willis_> alisalaah:  often laptops have special drivers/tricks in windows  that are tweaked :( hard to do that in linux.
[15:29] <b0ot> jrib doesn't partimage just do 1 partition, and doesn't ubuntu have multiple paritions?
[15:29] <Dr_Willis_> alisalaah:  my laptop gets more life in windows also.. it has a 'eco' mode that really throttles stuff down.
[15:30] <mikelietz> nobody else has dvd problems where only some movie DVDs show up in the file manager? (even after installing libdvdcss2?)
[15:30] <saatanaperkele> Is there a good way to control my computer usage in Ubuntu? I clearly lack self dicipline and I need to prepare myself for an exam. I mean could I schedule some annoying popup alert + annoying sound to pop every ten seconds or so when the clock hits 23:59 for example? :)
[15:30] <Dr_Willis_> b0ot:  you  can easially backup/restore  partitions. you dont have to do the whold drive at once.. in fact its often easier to do it one partition at a time
[15:30] <alisalaah> Dr_Willis_, there was a lot of Asus branded "junk" that came a long with it, especially performance and graphics tweaks.. is there an easy way to import and emulate them? such things like WINE may not do it but something similar
[15:30] <Dr_Willis_> b0ot:  theres no real need to  'backup' your swap partition thats on a hard drive. for example.
[15:30] <jrib> b0ot: well sure partimage works on partitions, but you can use it more than once.  Also, a default ubuntu install will only have 1 partition unless you set it up differently (which doesn't matter anyway in light of the first point)
[15:31] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: you just need to control yourself, there is no real other method, ubuntu can't help you with that
[15:31] <Dr_Willis_> alisalaah: i doubt if wine is going to do it.. for a great many reasons..
[15:31] <b0ot> hmm interesting
[15:31] <Pumpkin-> saatanaperkele: Put "shutdown" in cron
[15:31] <adamthehack> is there any one experience use Gnacktrack
[15:31] <Dr_Willis_> !info gnacktrack
[15:31] <Dr_Willis_> whats gnacktrack?
[15:31] <ikonia> adamthehack: we don't support that distro here
[15:31] <saatanaperkele> ikonia I actually disagree with that, in Windows I got good results from "at shutdown -s 23:59" or something similar
[15:31] <lazukars> Can anyone help?
[15:32] <saatanaperkele> Pumpkin-: okay, I'll check this cron thing out
[15:32] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: ok, you can set up a cronjob to shutdown at midnight, but there is nothing to stop you disabling that, so it's back to self control
[15:32] <adamthehack> any one can solve the problem with ISO Gnacktrack?
[15:32] <b0ot> Dr_Willis_, but for my current problem... basically I am going to have to format my blank drive and create a swap partition and then copy all my files from my network share into the main parition I create?
[15:32] <ikonia> adamthehack: stop asking, we don't support that distro here
[15:32] <llutz_> saatanaperkele: use at in linux too if you liek
[15:32] <alisalaah> Dr_Willis_, that's why i said "or something similar"
[15:32] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, thank you for the tip, luckly i have a KVM hooked up =) so thegfx card line says " Intel Corp 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev02)
[15:32] <llutz_> like*
[15:32] <adamthehack> why
[15:32] <r1tz> saatanaperkele: You can use cron
[15:32] <ikonia> adamthehack: because we only support ubuntu here
[15:33] <ikonia> adamthehack: not derivitives
[15:33] <saatanaperkele> ikonia yea but I find even those kinds of little aids helpful :)
[15:33] <Dr_Willis_> Luis_:  ive seen KVM switches cause so many issues in the past...
[15:33] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: ok, then schdule a cron shutdown at midnight
[15:33] <saatanaperkele> how do I access this cron?
[15:33] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: crontab -l or crontab -e to edit
[15:33] <adamthehack> but it similiar OS with Ubuntu but newest version
[15:33] <llutz_> saatanaperkele: sudo apt-get install atd && man at
[15:33] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: you would be well advised to read up on cron
[15:33] <ikonia> adamthehack: it's not ubuntu, we don't support it, sorry
[15:33] <gharz> guys, i've been trying to copy disc my ubuntu 8.10 (desktop right click cd->Copy Disc then select copy) but nothing happens... it closes and does not copy the CD. i used Brasero as well but it's the same story. nothing happens.
[15:33] <Dr_Willis_> adamthehack:  they proberly have their own support forums/channels and web site.
[15:33] <gharz> any idea?
[15:33] <saatanaperkele> ikonia allright, I'll find some kind of howto. thanks
[15:34] <Jason1> I configured opendns this morning and now my connection keeps dropping after 10 or 20 minutes of use. Any tips on how to diagnose the issue?
[15:34] <Dr_Willis_> adamthehack:  if they dont.. then thats a good reason to not use it.
[15:34] <ikonia> gharz: 8.10 is dead, you need to move to a supported distro
[15:34] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, surely shouldn't be the cause of this problem as i consistantly use it with my other computer (currently not hooked up) also running ubuntu?
[15:34] <Dr_Willis_> gharz:  you could use dd..
[15:34] <Dr_Willis_> Luis_:  i dont even rember the original problem. :) im running around after a 3 yr old kid...
[15:35] <gharz> ikonia: i find it easier and faster in recovering files from my window$ pc.
[15:35] <Guest90630> why does my start menu button not work in Win7 them for JULinux8 ??
[15:35] <alisalaah> Dr_Willis_,  Will NDISWrapper work for Asus specialty tweaked drivers if i can find them?
[15:35] <ikonia> gharz: ok, use windows then
[15:35] <Dr_Willis_> alisalaah:  i doubt it.
[15:35] <Guest90630> theme*
[15:35] <Dr_Willis_> alisalaah:  check the forums for that exact make/model - could be theres some tweaks out you can do.
[15:36] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, oh dear, thank you for lightening up my day that made me chuckle, i can't help you with that one but if you can still help me i'll be very greatfull
[15:36] <gharz> ikonia: i'm currently using ubuntu
[15:36] <Dr_Willis_> Guest90630:  you mean the windows KEY on the keyboard?
[15:36] <gharz> i don't have window$
[15:36] <ikonia> gharz: ok, but the version you are using is not supported
[15:36] <b0ot> histo, I created master boot record, then I created a 115 gigs (of 120 gigs) main parition and now how do I create the 5 gig swap partion?
[15:36] <adamthehack> ikonia: i already have Ubuntu too version 10 but I wonder that OS can bootable too with ISO seems like booting with FD or ROM not to installed it
[15:36] <ikonia> gharz: so you need to upgrade to a supported version
[15:36] <Dr_Willis_> brb.. hes in the fish tank now.....
[15:36] <ikonia> adamthehack: what part of "we do not support it"
[15:36] <ikonia> adamthehack: please stop asking
[15:36] <Guest90630> i click on the start button and nothing happens
[15:36] <gharz> ikonia: i'm using it to recover files... i have the latest version but it doesn't run on my PC
[15:36] <ikonia> gharz: define doesn't run on your PC
[15:36] <gharz> ikonia: that's the problem. my only concern is i can't copy the CD
[15:36] <r1tz> dd t
[15:37] <Guest90630> help please
[15:37] <gharz> ikonia: on the latest ubuntu, it gets stuck after asking if i wanna try ubuntu or install... then that's it. doesn't work.
[15:37] <ikonia> gharz: does it just hang, can you move the menu at all,
[15:38] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, right original problem is that ubuntu wont log in to the "desktop screen", after i enter my details to log in the screen goes all pixelated & fuzzy and then it just resets back to the log in screen
[15:38] <alisalaah> Dr_Willis_, thank you sir
[15:38] <b0ot> Dr_Willis_, how would I copy my files to a device?
[15:38] <adamthehack> i got from my friend Ubuntu version 10.10 is there any support of that
[15:38] <ikonia> adamthehack: full support yet
[15:38] <ikonia> yes
[15:38] <Guest90630> nothing happens when i click on the start orb
[15:39] <b0ot> sudo cp /home/comm/.gvfs/share\ on\ tom-laptop/* of=/dev/sda?
[15:39] <gharz> ikonia: i can't move the menu. i'm getting this hour cursor.
[15:39] <ikonia> gharz: there isn't a cursour on the boot screen, or do you mean the desktop it loads after it's booted
[15:39] <gharz> ikonia: i'm using 8.1 just to copy files from a window$ partition
[15:39] <ikonia> gharz: 8.10 is not supported
[15:39] <gharz> ikonia: mouse pointer.
[15:39] <sllide> window$ >.<
[15:40] <adamthehack> that kind of version must installed too boot it or just i can create ISO to FD or ROM to bootable with dual OS Seven and Ubuntu?
[15:40] <ikonia> gharz: mount pointer ? there is no mounse point on the boot screen, do you mean the desktop it displays after ubuntu boots ?
[15:40] <gharz> ikonia... anyway thanks
[15:40] <gharz> appreciate it
[15:40] <ikonia> adamthehack: we don't support custom ISO builds,
[15:40] <gharz> it just doesn't help me
[15:40] <ikonia> adamthehack: you can boot from it and run it as a live CD
[15:40] <ikonia> gharz: if you answer the question we can see if we can get a supported version running
[15:41] <ikonia> adamthehack: or you can install it
[15:41] <Johnm> rename u435607 jan_pomni_fb
[15:41] <Johnm> save
[15:41] <dehuman> now thats much better, compiz is pretty nifty
[15:41] <Guest90630> what is the fix for the start button in Win7 theme?
[15:41] <ikonia> Guest90630: contact the theme maker
[15:41] <amin> how to correct missing dependencies in comand line
[15:41] <adamthehack> if I installed it can I make a duall booting with seven or just Ubuntu OS with Live CD
[15:42] <gharz> ikonia... i'm currently using 10.10... and now i am trying to copy a 8.10 disc to another disc ... copying doesn't work even with brasero... brasero just closes after selecting copy from the option
[15:42] <ikonia> adamthehack: what is Seven ?
[15:42] <ikonia> amin: what are you trying to install
[15:42] <alisalaah> Is there a way to replace Evolution within the Indicator Applet 0.4.6 with GMail Prism or such?
[15:42] <gharz> i use 8.10 live cd to recover files from a windows partition
[15:42] <ikonia> gharz: you said you where using 8.10 a minute ago
[15:42] <Guest90630> well i installed it from JULinux
[15:42] <gharz> ikonia... please check my previous messages... i said i am trying to copy a 8.10 disc
[15:42] <venom> hi can anyone help me with kubuntu
[15:43] <Guest90630> anyways, i thought someone might know whats going on
[15:43] <Klaus_Dieter> can I transparently compress a tmpfs?
[15:43] <Dr_Willis_> gharz:  make an image file with dd. then burn the image file to the  disk.
[15:43] <gharz> i didn't even mention the version which i'm using
[15:43] <gharz> Dr_Willis_: thanks so much!~
[15:43] <Dr_Willis_> gharz:  i think i mentioned that earlier. :)
[15:43] <adamthehack> I means window 7 for OS make a primary and Ubuntu with Live CD to Boot
[15:43] <Dr_Willis_> gharz:  brasero has been problematic for a long time  i rarely use it.
[15:43] <ikonia> gharz: ah, I see, my apologies
[15:44] <dehuman> how do i make it so compiz desktop cube doesn't 'snap' or flip so fast, i want to actually see the windows on the cylinder before selecting
[15:44] <ikonia> gharz: if you open brasero does it see you have a blank CD in the drive ?
[15:44] <ikonia> adamthehack: ubuntu supports dual boot with windows 7 just fine
[15:45] <amin> webmin which need apt-show-versions which is not install because libapt-pkg-perl which is not install because apt-show-versions  is not install
[15:45] <silverlightning> I have a critical problem with package manager in lubuntu, it is stuck in installation process of restriced packages.
[15:45] <ikonia> amin: webmin is not supported, you must be getting it from a 3rd party repo
[15:45] <ikonia> amin: webmin is not in the ubuntu repos
[15:45] <llutz_> !webmin | amin its not a bug its a feature, forget webmin crap
[15:46] <Dr_Willis_> !ebox
[15:46] <adamthehack> is there any groups Ubuntu at Facebook that I can Join it?
[15:46] <erkan^> !apidaemon
[15:46] <ikonia> adamthehack: have a look
[15:46] <erxyz> Hi, is there any type of NAS that can run any type of Ubuntu so I can use a NAS as a small server and run ruby scripts???
[15:46] <andreylosev> I killed my notify-osd, how do I start it again?
[15:46] <ikonia> erxyz: any x86 based box would be a good contender
[15:46] <Dr_Willis_> erxyz:  theres a great many NAS's that run Linux..
[15:46] <amin> how get around missing dependencies in shell
[15:47] <Dr_Willis_> erxyz:  even some of my Media-player box's are running linux. :)
[15:47] <erxyz> yes, ikonia, but i cant have a "box" running in my doorm, it has to be silent
[15:47] <ikonia> amin: ubuntu does not package webmin, it must be from an external resource
[15:47] <Dr_Willis_> erxyz:  customizeing teh OS on them will be the bigger issue.
[15:47] <adamthehack> Is there any groups that I can join it may I know the link
[15:47] <ikonia> erxyz: so buy a silent nas box that is x86 based
[15:47] <erxyz> yes, example of such??
[15:47] <ikonia> erxyz: google and ##hardware
[15:47] <amin> yes I know but its dependencies is in repo
[15:47] <saatanaperkele> "47 17 * * * root echo "test test"" okay I don't see where it got echoed, any ideas?
[15:47] <ikonia> amin: what repo ?
[15:47] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: that's not a valid cron entry
[15:48] <Dr_Willis_> erxyz:  many of the NAS's are using ARM cpu.
[15:48] <saatanaperkele> ikonia how come?
[15:48] <Hans_Henrik> with GParted, i wanted to transfer a 40 gb ntfs partition to the end of the drive. it started moving, and about 6 GB done, power failed... and i'd like to preserve as much of the data as possible... any idea what i should do now?
[15:48] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: because it means nothing to cron beyond the timing
[15:48] <amin> the main point is how to install libapt-pkg-perl and  apt-show-versions
[15:48] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: the timing bit is spot on, the rest means nothing
[15:48] <Aelingil> I'm having a problem logging into ubuntu. I start the computer up and it does not load the "sign in" screen. It drops me into (initramfs). Can anyone help me get back into Ubuntu?
[15:48] <ikonia> amin: what repo did it come from ? answer the questions
[15:49] <erxyz> Dr_Willis_, yep, but aren't it possible to use some linux on ARM?
[15:49] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, right original problem is that ubuntu wont log in to the "desktop screen", after i enter my details to log in the screen goes all pixelated & fuzzy and then it just resets back to the log in screen
[15:49] <amin> main
[15:49] <Pici> amin: sudo apt-get install libapt-pkg-perl apt-show-versions
[15:49] <ikonia> !info webmin
[15:49] <stevecam> my display is behaving weirdly, part of my screen seems to be shaded and it seems to be related to what windows are open in the background, what is going on?
[15:49] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, sorry wrong key, are you avaliable now?
[15:49] <ikonia> amin: it can't be in main as webmin is not packaged by ubuntu
[15:49] <ikonia> amin: therefore where did it come from ?
[15:49] <saatanaperkele> ikonia can I schedule a command to lock the screen?
[15:50] <saatanaperkele> that should get my attention that its time to shut down the computer :D
[15:50] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: I'm sure you would be able to, something like "xlock"
[15:50] <ikonia> saatanaperkele: not sure how you'd call the gnome interface to lock the screen though
[15:50] <silverlightning> what to do when package manager is frozen during installation process ?
[15:50] <ikonia> silverlightning: that's a worry, are you sure it's froze and not just doing a long task
[15:50] <silverlightning> well, if it is a very long task then it might be
[15:51] <Colonel_Panic> Having trouble with pureftpd
[15:51] <ikonia> silverlightning: there are some big jobs to do sometimes

[15:51] <amin> my dear fellow libapt-pkg-perl is not related to webmin forget webmin

[15:52] <Valaya> Hello everyone
[15:52] <silverlightning> there is no way to press "OK" or agree?

[15:52] <ikonia> silverlightning: what are you installing ?
[15:52] <Luis_> can any one help please? i can't see the desktop on a brand new installation of ubuntu 10.04.2
[15:52] <ikonia> amin: so what are you actually asking ?
[15:52] <Colonel_Panic> is this the right place to ask such a question?
[15:52] <silverlightning> ikonia, restricted packages
[15:52] <Valaya> Anyone has experience with compiliing drivers for Ubuntu ? need some help :/
[15:53] <amin> the main point is how to install libapt-pkg-perl and  apt-show-versions which non of these two install becuse of each other
[15:53] <ikonia> silverlightning: move the windows around make sure it's not behind it (you may need to use the arrows and enter key to select "accept")
[15:53] <ikonia> silverlightning: it's normally an ncurses based interface that doesn't support the mouse
[15:53] <ikonia> amin: as pici said, you can do it on one line
[15:53] <amin> one line solve it?
[15:53] <silverlightning> it says preparing tff-mscorefonts installer
[15:54] <ikonia> amin: yup
[15:54] <amin> yes of course thanks dear hooora
[15:54] <silverlightning> ikonia, I have I cant find any way to agree or confirm, weird
[15:54] <ikonia> thanks Pici he got what you where asking, not me
[15:54] <ikonia> silverlightning: I wonder if you closed the window
[15:54] <ikonia> silverlightning: I don't have a box to test on
[15:55] <silverlightning> no, i can't close the window
[15:55] <Luis_> ikonia, Hi, you were helping me yesterday is there any chance you could help me out further today please?
[15:55] <silverlightning> well, at least I don't know how
[15:55] <ikonia> Luis_: I'm about to leave, sorry
[15:55] <Dr_Willis_> silverlightning:  use tab key to highlight ok and hit enter perhaps...
[15:56] <adamthehack> can I share my Facebook link in here to make a friend with all of you
[15:56] <ikonia> adamthehack: no thanks
[15:56] <ikonia> adamthehack: this is a support channel only,
[15:56] <triptec> java6-sdk vs sun-java6-sdk?
[15:56] <Luis_> ikonia, thank you anyway.
[15:56] <Valaya> anyone has experience with compiling drivers for Ubuntu ? I can't seem to figure out how to compile wireless card drivers (yes, I've searched the net before asking >< )
[15:57] <Dr_Willis_> Valaya:  the drivers dont have some sort of readme?
[15:57] <Colonel_Panic> exit
[15:57] <Colonel_Panic> oops
[15:57] <Colonel_Panic> hehe
[15:57] <Luis_> Dr_Willis_, are you still able to help me please?
[15:57] <BluesKaj> Valaya, which wifi chipset ?
[15:57] <Valaya> well, they do, but I can't understand shit to be honest, just came from Windows
[15:57] <Valaya> RTL8185
[15:57] <Colonel_Panic> Having trouble with pureftpd
[15:58] <N1k0s> hey everyone, noob here. Just wondering what desktop environment ubuntu uses, KDE or GNOME?
[15:58] <silverlightning> Dr_Willis, it doesn't work either, but thanks for the tip
[15:58] <Colonel_Panic> n1k0s Gnome
[15:58] <llutz_> gnome
[15:58] <Tri-Edge> gnome
[15:58] <Dr_Willis_> N1k0s:  kubuntu = kde, ubuntu = gnome
[15:58] <Colonel_Panic> by default
[15:58] <zixelex> gnome
[15:58] <Dr_Willis_> N1k0s:  you can install both if you wanted on the same install.
[15:58] <silverlightning> I really don't have luck with ubuntu
[15:58] <Colonel_Panic> but you can use whatever you want
[15:58] <N1k0s> Gotcha, thx all
[15:58] <Valaya> I've heard that official Realtek drivers would help increase the signal strength, since mine is uber low and im like 10 meters from router :S
[15:58] <silverlightning> however, lubuntu runs much more lightly
[15:58] <Colonel_Panic> xubuntu
[15:59] <Dr_Willis_> lubuntu is nifty. very good. lacking in some areas.. but thats to be expected  for a 'light' desktop
[15:59] <silverlightning> ikonia, dr_willis, this means full reinstallation ?
[15:59] <triptec> what's the difference between suns version of the jre and the one that shows up in the rep?
[15:59] <silverlightning> *##¤%&/
[16:00] <Dr_Willis_> silverlightning:  i dont know what your origianl problem is.. i do see lots of people fail to realize to hit 'tab' to accept the eula/other things the pacakge manager can piopup.
[16:00] <Colonel_Panic> Having trouble with pure-ftpd
[16:00] <kim_wolf> #$$^%^
[16:00] <Dr_Willis_> triptec:  one is the iced-tea oss version.. suns is in the partenres repo if you want it.
[16:00] <kim_wolf> 进来了
[16:00] <triptec> Dr_Willis_, is it faster or something?
[16:00] <silverlightning> Dr_willis, I have tried the usual procedure, but package manager seem stuck in the agreement face
[16:01] <silverlightning> weird
[16:01] <Luis_> Can anyone please help?
[16:01] <Luis_> I can't see the desktop after a brand new installation of ubuntu 10.04
[16:02] <compdoc> Luis_, did you install a 3rd party driver for the vid card?
[16:02] <Luis_> compdoc, no i haven't just the standard install
[16:02] <soreau> I was trying something with python2.7 and kinda had to reinstall a lot of packages but now that the system is back to normal, I can't play dvd's with totem anymore even though I reinstalled libdvdread css
[16:03] <Colonel_Panic> does anybody have any experience with pure-ftp?
[16:03] <Luis_> compdoc, the video card is an onboard Intel Corp 82815 chipset graphics controller (SGS) (rev02)
[16:03] <llutz_> Colonel_Panic: just state your problem. if someone can help he possibly will do
[16:04] <zixelex> Luis_ nay ext video card
[16:04] <compdoc> Luis_, Ive seen options in the bios for the vid card that dont work well with some OSes
[16:04] <Colonel_Panic> logging into the ftp server, I'm getting: "421 Unable to read the indexed puredb file (or old format detected) - Try pure-pw mkdb"
[16:04] <gimpy5612> I'm trying to get Java into FireFox 3.6 on Ubuntu 9.10. I've gone as far as to wipe out ALL java and firefox packages then kill ~/.mozilla, then install FF, install sun-java6 and the plugin package for sun java, but it tstill claims I have no java in FF. If I try to install the plugin within FF, it claims I need it, but already have it so it won't install.
[16:04] <compdoc> Luis_, is there a manual online somewhere?
[16:04] <Valaya> Can anyone help me out ? just need some guidelines on what to punch into the terminal ><
[16:05] <Colonel_Panic> gimpy5612: try asking in #mozilla
[16:05] <Luis_> compdoc, not that i managed to find, its an old pentium III board with no make written on it
[16:05] <silverlightning> Dr_Willis, maybe I made it stuck it's self not hitting the correct confirmation keys right away?
[16:05] <Colonel_Panic> they're really helpful with issues like that
[16:05] <Luis_> compdoc, it has always worked reliably under windows as a file server and print server at home, i just wanted to make the move to ubuntu - finally
[16:06] <compdoc> Luis_, then reboot it and enter the bios, and tell me what you see for video options
[16:06] <Colonel_Panic> I'm trying to give myself FTP access to the /var/www/ directory, and I can't log in
[16:06] <Luis_> zixelex, sorry i didn't understand your comment?!
[16:06] <Luis_> compdoc, will do, just a sec
[16:06] <Aelingil> I'm having a problem logging into ubuntu. I start the computer up and it does not load the "sign in" screen. It drops me into (initramfs). Can anyone help me get back into Ubuntu?
[16:06] <compdoc> Luis_, a modern OS on an old board - occasionally it just doesnt work out
[16:08] <zixelex> Luis_get some cheap video card
[16:09] <Citizenwarrior> need a bit of help. eth0 and eth1 of my duel 10/100/1000 NIC vanished over night when no one was even using the box... have tried both ports with different cables on different port on my switch and even different networks.  multiple reboots and the output of ifconfig -a is always the same just 'lo' and 'vboxnet0'  where do I start?
[16:09] <adil_> hi sorry my english isn't very well
[16:09] <adil_> I need Ubuntu's default text fonts (sequentially or mixed).I'm looking for on the Internet.
[16:10] <Luis_> compdoc, well there's settings all over the place, should i go through them? i just wish this worked because i only have to set my file and print shares, once they're done it just sits in a cupboard with no monitor mouse or keyboard
[16:10] <Aelingil> I'm having a problem logging into ubuntu. I start the computer up and it does not load the "sign in" screen. It drops me into (initramfs). Can anyone help me get back into Ubuntu?
[16:10] <dehuman> citizenwa: try ifconfig eth0 up and then look at dmesg
[16:10] <dehuman> for the clues
[16:10] <compdoc> Luis_, how much ram is assigned the video, and what size is the aperature?
[16:11] <BluesKaj> Aelingil, can you get to a tty prompt?
[16:11] <Citizenwarrior> dehuman, the output is this 'eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found'
[16:11] <Aelingil> BluesKaj, by typing tty at the prompt?
[16:12] <Aelingil> BluesKaj, when i type it in, i get  /dev/console and then pushed back into (initramfs)
[16:12] <saatanaperkele> does anyone have any idea why this does not work in crontab? "10 18 * * * virtanen DISPLAY=:0 && xlock -mode rain"
[16:12] <dehuman> citizenwa: check further up in dmesg, around last boot
[16:12] <harold> hey guys... how to install a manually downloaded driver???
[16:12] <crlcan81> What is it you call what goes on between grub and splash? where it shows your distro and a loading bar of some sort?
[16:12] <dehuman> see if you see the card or any errors
[16:12] <crlcan81> or IS that splash?
[16:12] <saatanaperkele> crlcan81: yes
[16:13] <raido> saatanaperkele: crontab requires full path to command
[16:13] <harold> help
[16:13] <Luis_> compdoc, Video BIOS cashable - diable, AGP Graphics aperture size - 64MB, On-chip video Window Size - 64MB
[16:13] <crlcan81> Was thinking it was but I kept having it changed by Ubuntu itself.
[16:13] <amin> how to establish a ssh tunnel between my pc and a dedicated server for untifiltering
[16:13] <saatanaperkele> raido oh okay, so /etc/xlock.... right?
[16:13] <voglster> do we have any openvpn experts here? im having a strange problem where openvpn connects, i can ssh, scp, and ping everything on my remote lan but i cannot rdp or access http resources...
[16:13] <raido> saatanaperkele: indeed
[16:13] <saatanaperkele> raido thank you, ill test that
[16:13] <compdoc> they used to say to make the aperture size twice the size of the vid cards ram
[16:13] <harold> i downloaded nvidia drivers but when i opened it to install it wont decode.
[16:14] <xorg62_>  / /quit
[16:14] <harold> help me installing this *.run file
[16:14] <compdoc> how about palette snoop? that should be disabled
[16:14] <Citizenwarrior> dehuman, stand by will read... btw I am losing you in the room sorry it took so long to reply
[16:15] <AbhijiT> hi guys
[16:15] <Luis_> compdoc, was that last comment for me? sorry.
[16:15] <Licuadora> I remember I could download youtube videos from the tmp folder, but I cant no more, where are they stored now?
[16:15] <AbhijiT> i am running lucid. and i run one video on youtube but that file is not either in /tmp nor in /home/<username>/tmp
[16:15] <saatanaperkele> raido didn't work :S
[16:15] <AbhijiT> hgeeelp
[16:15] <compdoc> Luis_, yes:  they used to say to make the aperture size twice the size of the vid cards ram, and, how about palette snoop? that should be disabled
[16:15] <harold> i tried by terminal but it says cant open the file. file is intact then why is it not installing??
[16:16] <jOZe> hola!
[16:16] <jrib> !nvidia | harold
[16:16] <Luis_> compdoc, yes indeed it is
[16:16] <compdoc> Luis_, there should be a setting for the ram assigned. how much ram does the system have?
[16:16] <jrib> harold: don't install the nvidia driver manually, use System → Administration → Additional Drivers
[16:16] <amin> how to establish a ssh tunnel between my pc and a dedicated server for untifiltering
[16:16] <harold> thx jrib
[16:16] <Luis_> compdoc, the system has 512 of ram
[16:16] <harold> jrib: is there no way to install manually??
[16:16] <crlcan81> Ohhk.. this is fun.
[16:16] <adil_> anywhere don't have a list
[16:17] <compdoc> Luis_, and the vid card is using 32 megs?
[16:17] <adil_> please help me..
[16:17] <harold> i dont want to download again n again
[16:17] <raido> saatanaperkele: try making file with that command in it and then have cron execute the script
[16:17] <jrib> harold: there is (and the wiki link tells you how), but it's recommended you use APT
[16:17] <llutz_> amin: man ssh (look for -D or  -L)
[16:17] <Luis_> compdoc, well according to the settings i posted a minute ago, it has 64 assigned to it
[16:17] <harold> alright. will it work with maverick release?
[16:17] <BluesKaj> harold, make sure the file is in your /home dir , otherwise you have cd to the dir where the file is loacated and do : ./nvidiafile.run
[16:17] <compdoc> Luis_, Ive seen vid cards freak out when they access bad ram. have you ever run memtest86+ on the system?
[16:18] <harold> its in download folder in root.
[16:18] <silverlightning> Ubuntu puts people in an impossible pickle !!!!!
[16:18] <silverlightning> Linux in general
[16:18] <harold> so in terminal I tried opening that file but it says cant open file
[16:18] <amin> you mean ssh -D 8080 user@1.1.1.1
[16:18] <Aelingil> I'm having a problem logging into ubuntu. I start the computer up and it does not load the "sign in" screen. It drops me into (initramfs). Can anyone help me get back into Ubuntu?
[16:18] <BluesKaj> harold, whatn is the exact file name ?
[16:19] <harold> BluesKaj:NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run
[16:19] <gauravsc> hi!!
[16:19] <crlcan81> Well at least I know why the splash screen's being overridden
[16:19] <gauravsc> I have a question
[16:19] <Luis_> compdoc, no i haven't however forgive my ignorance but why would the video card only go crazy when i try to log into the desktop yet the login screen is displayed properly
[16:19] <crlcan81> the multiple GDMs
[16:19] <gauravsc> I am running lampp on my ubuntu
[16:19] <Licuadora> harold, Are you trying to install an nvidia driver?
[16:20] <saatanaperkele> raido I'm afraid I don't have the sufficient skills to do that :D
[16:20] <harold> Licuadora:yeah
[16:20] <compdoc> Luis_, make the aperture size twice the size of the ram assigned to the card. do you think 'On-chip video Window Size' means the ram?
[16:20] <BluesKaj> harold, move the file to your /home
[16:20] <raido> saatanaperkele: no skills required
[16:21] <gauravsc> I am running lampp on my ubuntu at port no 80(default). I have made the port(sudo ufw enable 80 ) .. But its still not visible to my friend remotely while it works fine for me on localhost.?? what is wrong ??
[16:21] <Luis_> compdoc, i would imagine so, however when i enter that "setting" i only have the option for 32 or 64 and its already on 64 so if i wanted to change it i could only half it anway
[16:21] <raido> saatanaperkele: make a text file that looks like this..
[16:21] <compdoc> Luis_, when the vid card starts to access ram is when you'll see it fail if the ram is bad - doesnt matter if its a seperate vid card or an onboard vid card. Ive seen it happen
[16:21] <djindy> I have a non-journaled hfs+ external hard drive that I use to transfer data from my ubuntu machine to a iMac for work. Recently, it hasn't been mounting as writeable in Ubuntu, and I have confirmed it is still non-journaled. How can I get this to mount as writeable?
[16:21] <harold> BluesKaj moved to home folder. now?
[16:21] <BluesKaj> Licuadora, he says file is in his root folder , starnge normally they're in /home downloads if ff was used
[16:21] <amin> llutz: you mean ssh -D 8080 user@1.1.1.1
[16:21] <saatanaperkele> raido wait before that, are you sure xlock is in /etc/xlock?
[16:22] <llutz_> amin: if a socks-proxy connection is what you want, yes
[16:22] <raido> saatanaperkele: do "which xclock"
[16:22] <Luis_> compdoc, all makes sence now, do you think that'd be logical step now? to run a mem test?
[16:22] <saatanaperkele> raido its in /usr/bin
[16:22] <BluesKaj> harold, is it in /home downloads?
[16:22] <saatanaperkele> okay let me try the old method again
[16:22] <gauravsc> I am running lampp on my ubuntu at port no 80(default). I have made the port(sudo ufw enable 80 ) .. But its still not visible to my friend remotely while it works fine for me on localhost.?? what is wrong ??
[16:22] <sacarlson> gauravsc: well did you setup port forwarding on your adsl router to your ubuntu box ip and served ports?
[16:22] <raido> saatanaperkele: I assumed you knew where it was
[16:22] <raido> saa
[16:22] <harold> BluesKaj: yeah...
[16:22] <raido> saatanaperkele: lol
[16:22] <gauravsc> no diddidn't
[16:22] <gauravsc> please tell me how to do it
[16:23] <compdoc> Luis_, its always a hardware or software problem. you have to start somewhere to troubleshoot. A driver would be something to look at next, but thats harder to troubleshoot than testing the hardware
[16:23] <sacarlson> gauravsc: and I'll bet there is really no need for a firewall in your case
[16:23] <saatanaperkele> raido nah, I'm a newbie :D
[16:23] <amin> llutz_: I want to pass the filter in another words chang my pc ip to server ip
[16:23] <Citizenwarrior> dehuman, I have read my dmesg now and although I am no expert at decoding it all, nothing jumps out as an error of any type... It is worth noting for clear communication that the 'output' i quoted you last time wasn't from dmesg it was the return of running ifconfig eth0 at the command line. just wanted to tell you that in case I was unclear
[16:24] <soreau> I am getting '** Message: Error: No URI handler implemented for "dvd".' and tried installing libdvdcss, libdvdread, totem-gstreamer, totem-xine but nothing works. When I install gstreamer plugins it crashes with "totem: /build/buildd/libdvdnav-4.1.3/src/vm/vm.c:1485: process_command: Assertion `0' failed." Googling around points to a codecs issue but I have u-r-e and everything I know to install so far
[16:24] <llutz_> amin:what filter?
[16:24] <Luis_> compdoc, saying that i just restarted the computer and it quickly goes through that memory check that the BIOS on older systems usually shows and it says RAM 524*** + 1024 OK
[16:24] <Licuadora> BkuesKaj It doesent matter where it is, as long as it is somewhere, eh?
[16:24] <saatanaperkele> 25 18 * * * virtanen /usr/bin/xlock -mode rain
[16:24] <saatanaperkele> 25 18 * * * virtanen DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/xlock -mode rain
[16:24] <saatanaperkele> neither works :S
[16:25] <BluesKaj> harold, ok copy and paste this to the terminal : sudo ~/Downloads/./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run
[16:25] <soreau> mplayer can play dvd's fine but I have no way to navigate the videos. totem just complains about not having a codec or crashes when it gets one installed. Can someone help me get totem working to play a dvd?
[16:25] <Dr_Willis_> saatanaperkele:  X has some security features that may be stopping it. you might need to use the xhost command as part of your X startup.
[16:25] <amin> firewall proxy specially configured to ban access to especial domains and etc
[16:25] <raido> saatanaperkele: what is virtanen
[16:25] <compdoc> Luis_, so it has more ram? thats bios test doesnt actaully test the ram - its just counts it
[16:25] <saatanaperkele> my username
[16:25] <amin> llutz_: firewall proxy specially configured to ban access to especial domains and etc
[16:25] <saatanaperkele> and when I type xlock or /usr/bin/xlock it works fine on the command line
[16:25] <Luis_> compdoc, only reason i was quite quick at ruleing out hardware is because the system didn't go wrong or anything i pulled it out for a reinstall, i wanted to get rid of the last ubuntu system in my house.
[16:25] <raido> saatanaperkele: are you using your own crontab
[16:26] <harold> Hey command not found
[16:26] <Licuadora> $sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[16:26] <saatanaperkele> raido gedit /etc/crontab
[16:26] <saatanaperkele> oooooops
[16:26] <llutz_> amin: ok, socks-proxy should do. configure your local apps to use it (socks5, localhost, 8080)
[16:26] <Licuadora> harold and then install it
[16:26] <Dr_Willis_> Licuadora:  its better to use 'sudo service gdm stop' these days
[16:26] <Luis_> compdoc, ahh fare enough,. well it has 2 x 256 sticks and i just assumed that the extra bit was the video memory
[16:26] <raido> saatanaperkele: no, you have to "crontab -e" and your user
[16:26] <saatanaperkele> yea
[16:26] <amin> llutz_: just socket or all ex in firefox
[16:26] <harold> Licuadora the given command was wrong
[16:27] <harold> can u give it again?
[16:27] <llutz_> amin: no idea about firefo
[16:27] <llutz_> x
[16:27] <raido> saatanaperkele: i meant "as" your user
[16:27] <BluesKaj> harold, ok,  cd ~/Downloads, then  : sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run
[16:27] <raido> saatanaperkele: so "virtanen$crontab -e
[16:27] <compdoc> Luis_, its possible theres seperate memory onboard that is for the video, but it wasnt common
[16:28] <amin> llutz_: so in network proxy in ubuntu in my pc?
[16:28] <llutz_> amin: if it supports socks-proxy...
[16:28] <raido> saatanaperkele: and you should consult the crontab man page,
[16:28] <harold> "no such directory found"
[16:28] <jrib> harold: do you understand the consequences of not using APT for the nvidia drivers?  You'll have to maintain the drivers yourself instead of update-manager automatically handling that for you
[16:29] <BluesKaj> jrib, good point
[16:29] <Aidar-Nagato> hi, i used gnome, but now i moved to openbox. i'd like to use gnome-screenshot, but it has got sound when i run it in openbox without gnome. how can i turn its sound off?
[16:29] <saatanaperkele> raido: 29 18 * * * virtanen DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/xlock -mode rain
[16:29] <amin> llutz_: i did but my browser open no page nothing
[16:29] <saatanaperkele> no effect, fffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
[16:29] <harold> jrib:why? wont it update DB every restart??
[16:29] <compdoc> Luis_, I meant it wasnt common for computers back then
[16:29] <raido> saatanaperkele: you did crontab -e ?
[16:29] <saatanaperkele> yeah
[16:29] <Luis_> compdoc, i'm going to rule out hardware (faults wise anyway) while we've been chatting i've restarted the system about 10 times and it consistantly logs in now (no pixelation or screen fuzzyness) however it wont show me the top/bottom applications bars but when i right click the options menu comes up and i can change the desktop background and what-not
[16:30] <raido> saatanaperkele: take that username out, you dont need it
[16:30] <saatanaperkele> replace it with * ?
[16:30] <llutz_> amin: then you'll have to configure that browser to use the socks-localhost-8080
[16:30] <compdoc> Luis_, set the desktop resolution
[16:30] <saatanaperkele> raido replace with * or just remove?
[16:30] <BluesKaj> harold, not the driver from the nvidia website, it's not the same driver as in the repos
[16:30] <jrib> harold: update-manager will only manage things installed through APT
[16:30] <amin> llutz_: it is exactly what am i doing
[16:31] <raido> saatanaperkele:  and why the DISPLAY entry
[16:31] <raido> saatanaperkele: just remove
[16:31] <sogeking99> i cant get my ubuntu live usb to boot on my laptop, it just says boot error, but it works on my pc.
[16:31] <saatanaperkele> raido okay, one minute
[16:31] <llutz_> amin: and the ssh-connection is established?
[16:31] <BluesKaj> harold, which nvidia card is it?
[16:31] <jrib> saatanaperkele: get rid of &&
[16:31] <saatanaperkele> raido I copied the display thingy from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=350264
[16:31] <harold> ohkay... well then tell me the recommended way.. but it will install the latest drivers right??
[16:31] <jrib> !nvidia | harold
[16:31] <harold> nvidia 8400
[16:32] <harold> @jrib: what does that mean?
[16:32] <saatanaperkele> 32 18 * * * /usr/bin/xlock -mode rain
[16:32] <saatanaperkele> nothing
[16:32] <Dr_Willis_> sogeking99:  ive had some usb flash drives not work on some machines but not others also.. also had a differnt flash drive work on pc #2 but not the first.. i havent seen the issue with my newer machines and newer flash drives however.
[16:32] <Luis_> compdoc, how do i do that without access to the "system" menu? is there a key combination to bring it up?
[16:32] <saatanaperkele> this is getting really frustrating to be honest
[16:32] <jrib> harold: ubottu should shortly chime in with information...
[16:32] <amin> llutz_: yes and the cerser in shell is blinking
[16:32] <sacarlson> sogeking99: you might try change the bios settings in your laptop for boot on usb if it has boot from usb disk pick that
[16:32] <jrib> ubottu: test
[16:32] <Dr_Willis_> saatanaperkele:  does that same command work from the console?
[16:32] <ResQue> Hey guys, i am having real trobble with live CD, if i install a package either by software center or apt-get install it get about 80% done then just freeze, the app still works but the progress bar does not go any further. can anyone help.
[16:32] <BluesKaj> harold, 8400 is the same card as I have , the recommended driver in admin hardware is the on to install
[16:32] <saatanaperkele> Dr_Willis_: yup
[16:32] <jrib> !nvidia
[16:33] <jrib> harold: see that link
[16:33] <llutz_> amin: no idea then
[16:33] <harold> jrib:watching dat
[16:33] <Dr_Willis_> saatanaperkele:  thats odd.. it really shouldent. unless you usesd  'xhost' to disable some of the securty features. (or thats how it used to work)
[16:33] <saatanaperkele> nope, just sudo apt-get install xlock
[16:33] <saatanaperkele> then xlock
[16:33] <saatanaperkele> works like a charm
[16:33] <sogeking99> yeah i tried making usb boot priority but it just gived me 'boot error'
[16:33] <saatanaperkele> but this cron doesn't want to work at all
[16:33] <Dr_Willis_> could be xlock is calling some system/service.
[16:33] <amin> llutz_: any other methods like this to do this job?
[16:34] <Dr_Willis_> saatanaperkele:  try the same trick with somthing like 'xterm'
[16:34] <Luis_> compdoc, can i remote desktop into the computer? ie is it possible on a standard installation without setting it up on the computer itself first?
[16:34] <sacarlson> sogeking99: well if you tried every option of devices in bios you can look at installing plop boot manager
[16:35] <raido> saatanaperkele: you are missing the "export" in the DISPLAY variable
[16:35] <Dr_Willis_> Luis_:  thers no services setup on a live cd that ive noticed.
[16:35] <harold> guys i downloaded x64 version of maverick. how to make sure its x64 architecture working on system now??
[16:35] <Dr_Willis_> raido:  i was just thinking that also. :)
[16:35] <saatanaperkele> raido isn't that export just the guys username?
[16:35] <jrib> harold: uname -m
[16:35] <sogeking99> whats that
[16:35] <llutz_> amin: vpn/ssh are the only things i use for that purpose
[16:35] <Dr_Willis_> saatanaperkele:  No.. export is imporntatn.
[16:35] <saatanaperkele> oh
[16:35] <raido> saatanaperkele: no
[16:35] <saatanaperkele> god damnit
[16:35] <nrosvall> haha I can see at least one finn in here :DD
[16:35] <Dr_Willis_> saatanaperkele:  without export the child processes dont get the settings
[16:35] <nrosvall> nice nickname :D
[16:35] <saatanaperkele> nrosvall o7
[16:35] <Luis_> compdoc, changing resolution is a good idea if i can access the menu but without the "system" bar is dificult to say the least
[16:35] <sacarlson> sogeking99: I'm not sure what you presently have installed but plop has many ways to install http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[16:35] <harold> jrib:it said x86_64 ..??
[16:36] <jrib> harold: that's 64bit
[16:36] <guess_who> Hello.
[16:36] <guess_who> Would anyone here know how to sync iphone with ubuntu?
[16:36] <sogeking99> i just been using bios boot options
[16:36] <saatanaperkele> raido okay so half an hour of troubleshooting and I failed at ctrl+c ctrl+v
[16:36] <harold> jrib i thought then it would say k7
[16:36] <saatanaperkele> thanks anyways guys :D now it works
[16:36] <JeffJassky> hey, guys. I'm having an issue configuring PHP and Sendmail. Sendmail itself seems to be working but when I try to send mail using PHP it doesn't seem to send.
[16:36] <compdoc> Luis_, gnome-display-properties is the app. if you right-click the desktop, you could create a launcher
[16:36] <Dr_Willis_> saatanaperkele:  if you were running both commands from a script. you wouldent need the export command. but the && is a seperate process.. so i would think 'foo=100 && echo foo' may return nothing for foo. :)
[16:36] <amin> llutz_: any tricks in ssh -D 8080 method both server or client side?
[16:36] <raido> saatanaperkele: the best way to learn
[16:36] <llutz_> amin: nope
[16:36] <JeffJassky> i'm not an experienced server admin so I'm hoping someone can maybe point me in the right direction
[16:37] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, no i meant because i can't do much on the desktop as the top and bottom bars are missing i wonder if i could remote desktop into the PC with the problem but because its a new installation and i havent set remote desktop on that system yet i wondered wether it'd be blocked on a fresh install
[16:37] <Luis_> compdoc, can i remote desktop into the computer? ie is it possible on a standard installation without setting it up on the computer itself first
[16:37] <harold> jrib:i cant understand this. can you give me a lucid version??
[16:37] <Luis_> sorry wrong key
[16:37] <jrib> harold: System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers in your menu
[16:37] <harold> i just want the latest nvidia drivers on system so that i can have all the juice from maverick
[16:38] <lolzer> is there a way to control the fan speed
[16:38] <lolzer> ??
[16:38] <Dr_Willis_> Luis_:   does alt-f2 get you a run command? if so try running gnome-panel perhaps.
[16:38] <sogeking99> not sure i understand what im ment to do with it, am i ment to put it on the same usb as ubuntu?
[16:38] <compdoc> Luis_, its worth a shot
[16:38] <llutz_> amin: ssh -2 -N -l user -D8080 host      is what i use
[16:38] <harold> jrib:that system utility says i have the current version activated. how to know which is it?
[16:38] <Dr_Willis_> Luis_:  are the panels crashing? or are they juyst hidden ? is another thing to check out.
[16:38] <Dr_Willis_> bbl
[16:38] <jrib> harold: then you're fine, use your system
[16:39] <saatanaperkele> raido true true, learning is painful sometimes though
[16:39] <saatanaperkele> but yea bye bye, sauna waiting!
[16:39] <harold> jrib: but nvidia panel says i dont have that driver.
[16:39] <raido> JeffJassky: ??
[16:40] <amin> llutz_:could you write a command  for user@1.1.1.1
[16:40] <JeffJassky> raido: I feel like there's something wrong in my configuration.
[16:40] <harold> jrib:nvidia x server says : "you do not appear to be using nvidia X driver
[16:40] <llutz_> amin: ssh -2 -N -l user -D8080 1.1.1.1
[16:40] <jrib> harold: pastebin the output of: jockey-text -l
[16:40] <amin> luttz_:no space betweend and 8080
[16:40] <ruijian> Hi
[16:40] <amin> ?
[16:40] <llutz_> amin: doesnt matter
[16:41] <astra05> what is the gnome applet called that display evolution, empathy, and pidgin messages?
[16:41] <raido> xorgouney: gwibber?
[16:41] <raido> astra05: gribber?
[16:42] <harold> jrib: xorg:nvidia_173 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
[16:42] <harold> xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use)
[16:42] <harold> pkg:sl-modem-daemon - Software modem (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
[16:42] <astra-x> raido is that the default one?
[16:42] <Luis_> compdoc, Dr_Willis, Well i've tryed changing resolution up and down and the bottom task bar magicly appeared but not the top one
[16:42] <freetz> anyone using awesome with 10.10? i can't seem to get it to actually use rc.lua
[16:42] <Starminn> raido No it's the Indicator Applet
[16:42] <raido> astra-x: pretty sure
[16:42] <Starminn> astra-x: Indicator Applet.
[16:42] <astra-x> raido: it is indicator,
[16:42] <raido> Starminn: Yes indeed
[16:43] <astra-x> Starminn: thanks :)
[16:43] <Starminn> astra-x: Yep.
[16:43] <sogeking99> can anyone help me?
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  weird.   You using some odd monitor/video card setup?
[16:43] <Starminn> sogeking99: Depends. Ask and we'll see. :)
[16:44] <ruffy> does any1 know why im getting permission denied error 13 on mounting a windows share folder to my ubuntu
[16:44] <sacarlson> harold: well you can see what is running now with sudo lshw  and you should be able to see what will run after the next gdm restart in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:44] <Aelingil> I'm having a problem logging into ubuntu. I start the computer up and it does not load the "sign in" screen. It drops me into (initramfs). Can anyone help me get back into Ubuntu?
[16:44] <jrib> harold: pastebin (use http://paste.ubuntu.com) your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:44] <harold> sacarlson:so i should just reboot and new drivers will be up and running?
[16:44] <Luis_> compdoc, Dr_Willis, the video card is as i mentioned earlier an onboard card on an old PIII mobo (intel corp 82815) and the monitor is a newish but fairly standard LG W1946S
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  crt or lcd?
[16:45] <Starminn> Aelingil: I can't help, but just for your reference, the loading screen that says "Ubuntu" with the loading bar -- the 'program' is called Plymouth.
[16:45] <Roasted> This may be a dumb question, but is the Banshee media player open source?
[16:45] <sacarlson> harold: well that's one option yes, but you might want to take a look first
[16:45] <Luis_> compdoc, 19" little widescreen LCD
[16:45] <Starminn> Aelingil: If you're Googling for help, add that to your query and see if it helps any
[16:45] <sogeking99> i cant boot my live usb on my laptop, which i got just to install linux on. the usb works fine on my pc and the laptop does let me set the usb to top boot priority on bios, but all im getting is 'boot error'
[16:45] <erUSUL> Roasted: yes
[16:46] <Luis_> compdoc, Dr_Willis, 19 " LCD
[16:46] <Roasted> erUSUL, do you know if Banshee has an official support channel? The freenode #banshee is empty
[16:46] <harold> jrib:I ahve pasted under "harold" poster
[16:46] <harold> *have
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  well either the panel is there.. and for some reason the system has the wrong res and is not showing it.. or its crashing. i would guess the first..
[16:46] <Aelingil> Starminn, I can get that far, it does not mount the system..
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  this was not using a KVM switch was it?
[16:46] <jrib> harold: need link
[16:47] <erUSUL> Roasted: maybe it is in gimpnet where gtk gimp and many gnome projects have channels
[16:47] <harold> jrib: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/570656/
[16:47] <erUSUL> Roasted: check banshee website
[16:47] <compdoc> Luis_, widescreen is prolly the problem - doubt an old board like that can support those odd resolutions. As you wont use the montior, and only use vnc, dont worry about it
[16:47] <Roasted> erUSUL, I have. I haven't noticed anything regarding IRC on it.
[16:47] <raido> sogeking99: You likely have  mistake in building the bootable usb. You shoule redo that process
[16:47] <jrib> harold: did you just use Additional Drivers now to install the nvidia drivers?  If that's the case, then yes, you need to restart
[16:47] <Starminn> Luis_ If it's not a laptop just move the whole screen down using the buttons on the monitor. Re-position it.
[16:47] <sogeking99> but i booted it fine on my pc
[16:47] <raido> sogeking99: oh
[16:48] <harold> well as u say. brb
[16:48] <Luis_> good idea starminn, i'll try that see if it works
[16:48] <sacarlson> harold: looks like your still on nouveau_drv.so
[16:48] <Starminn> Luis_: :) But if that works, once you know how to do it you'll probably end up like me. I dual-boot Windows/Ubuntu and Ubuntu needs (out of 100) to be at 54 and Windows at 46. Neither of them are actually center.
[16:48] <sogeking99> asus does let me install other OS' doesn't it? i bought this just for linux
[16:48] <andreylosev> is your hdd is mounted as read-only when you're on a livecd?
[16:49] <raido> sogeking99: yes of course
[16:49] <Starminn> sogeking99: Brand has nothing to do with it. The vendor can't really control what you do with your hard drive.
[16:50] <sogeking99> ok so this should definitly be fixerble, some how
[16:50] <guigouz> wasn't unity the default desktop manager for 11.04 ?
[16:50] <Tri-Edge> looking to buy a new laptop that is 14" and under and it will be using ubuntu only.  any suggestions on brand?  I know not to use anything with optimus
[16:50] <Luis_> well didn't work
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> guigouz:  its supposed to be i have read.
[16:51] <Starminn> guigouz: The default Desktop Environment, yes. It is also the default for Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
[16:51] <jamesgecko> Tri-Edge, I've had decent luck with Dell
[16:51] <Starminn> Tri-Edge: Also ood luck with Dell here.
[16:51] <raido> Tri-Edge: Im a ThinkPad fan, have owned many and all have been great
[16:51] <Luis_> even if i resize the screen to 640x480 the only thing that i get is the bottom bar back (it goes away once i restart the system)
[16:51] <Roasted> I'm curious if anybody can shed some light on an issue I'm seeing with Banshee. If I create a playlist on my mp3 player, I've noticed I have to "export" it to the device in order to save it, otherwise the device playlist comes up empty. Okay, fine. But when I plug the device back in, the playlist is gone, but I want to see the playlist so I can add more music to it. Mind you, it doesn't delete from the portable player, just from the Banshee interface when I
[16:51] <Roasted>  fire it back up.
[16:51] <guigouz> Starminn: I just installed the alpha 2 here, but it's still running gnome.
[16:51] <andreylosev> is your hdd is mounted as read-only when you're on a livecd?
[16:51] <Luis_> the card does support the monitor's rezolution, at least it displays it correctly
[16:51] <Tri-Edge> jamesgecko, don't like dell customer service but hardware is nice.
[16:52] <Starminn> Tri-Edge: You can get them pre-shipped with Ubuntu from Dell (and a few others) I'm sure. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Dell
[16:52] <guigouz> Starminn: any idea ?
[16:52] <ruan> im back..reinstalled ubuntu
[16:52] <Starminn> Luis_: Run in a terminal "killall gnome-panel" and it will restart. FI the bar is truly gone, that'll bring it back.
[16:52] <Starminn> If*
[16:52] <jamesgecko> Tri-Edge, Ah. I've never called them. Just make sure the graphics card and network hardware have open source drivers, and you'll usually be fine.
[16:53] <sacarlson> ruan: you ruaned it
[16:53] <ruan> yeah its ruaned
[16:53] <Luis_> Starminn, how do i access terminal without the top menu bar again?
[16:53] <Starminn> guigouz: Nope. I'm going to ubottu you more info though for a place who WILL know.
[16:53] <Starminn> !natty > guigouz
[16:53] <Starminn> Luis_: CTRL+ALT+T
[16:53] <JeffJassky> hey, guys. My server is remote. how do I view /usr/share/doc in my browser? i tried making a symlink to it in one of my document roots but it showed as forbidden.
[16:53] <Luis_> Starminn, thank you
[16:53] <xorgouney> raido: wat
[16:53] <YBinnenweg> Hi guys
[16:54] <raido> xorgouney: typo, no worries
[16:54] <Tri-Edge> jamesgecko, yeah using a gateway right now its just not great anymore and too large to carry
[16:54] <xorgouney> ok
[16:54] <triptec> hi, libssl-dev doesn't want to install  "libssl-dev: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8o-1ubuntu4) but 0.9.8o-1ubuntu4.1 is installed."
[16:54] <guigouz> Starminn: thanks
[16:54] <YBinnenweg> I have problems installing ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop
[16:54] <nm5tf> Dell "customer service" is all in India-at times it is VERY hard to understand their version of English-I once spent 4 hrs on telephone with them-glad it was a toll free number!!!
[16:54] <jamesgecko> JeffJassky, By default, apache won't follow system-links.
[16:55] <YBinnenweg> It just loops at the purplr screen
[16:55] <raido> Tri-Edge: I have a X201s in front of me now, 4GB RAM and a Core I7. LED backlight... its a sweet machine
[16:55] <Luis_> Starminn, flippin genious, and then as if by magic it came back! - let's restart and see what happens
[16:55] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: Thanks for the info - however it seemed to have followed it. it was just forbidden. does that make sense?
[16:55] <sacarlson> jamesgecko: I've used symlink in apache before they work fine  ln -s
[16:55] <YBinnenweg> And when i go to the command line thing while booting the livecd it gives me pretty much errors :S
[16:56] <Starminn> Luis_: Lol, Super awesome! ;)
[16:56] <jamesgecko> sacarlson, Dunno; I've had issues with them in the past.
[16:56] <YBinnenweg> Do i need internet to install ubuntu??
[16:56]  * Starminn Has had a similar problem as Luis_ before. (Since running that command it fixed it though)
[16:56] <compdoc> YBinnenweg, only to update it, I think
[16:57] <YBinnenweg> Hmm weird :S
[16:57] <Starminn> YBinnenweg: No, but it is highly suggested so you get the most up-to-date of everything and can install some codecs such as mp3, etc. (though you can do that later)\
[16:57] <sacarlson> jamesgecko: remind you that the priv is dependent on what you link to not what you set the link to
[16:57] <YBinnenweg> Yes i did
[16:57] <YBinnenweg> I downloaded the image from the site
[16:57] <jamesgecko> JeffJassky, if it's following the links, you'll need to make sure that www-data has read access to the docs
[16:57] <YBinnenweg> Burned it
[16:57] <YBinnenweg> Twice
[16:57] <sogeking99> how else could i install it without a usb? i have no blank cd's
[16:57] <YBinnenweg> And it just wont boot
[16:58] <Luis_> Starminn, is that a permanent fix or just something i'm gonna have to do all the time? also what exactly was the problem to start with - why wouldn't it sort itself after a restart?
[16:58] <ruan> YBinnenweg: how many hard drives do you have?
[16:58] <harold> guys.. any command to check the driver version of graphics??
[16:58] <jamesgecko> sacarlson, just as I was typing that out. =)
[16:58] <compdoc> YBinnenweg, which image?
[16:58] <amin> luttz_: could you do me a favor ?
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> harold:  what driver/video card you using?
[16:58] <ruan> harold: which vendor graphics card?
[16:58] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: how would i go about doing that?
[16:58] <YBinnenweg> Ubuntu 10.10 x64
[16:58] <harold> nvidia
[16:58] <YBinnenweg> 3 harddisks
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> harold:  the nvidia-settings tools tells you  i think
[16:58] <ruan> YBinnenweg: try set boot priority to different ones
[16:58] <sacarlson> harold: well sudo lshw is one,  ya nvidia you set dude
[16:59] <ruan> YBinnenweg: ubuntu can sometimes install grub on the wrong hdd
[16:59] <YBinnenweg> Well it boots
[16:59] <Aelingil> Starminn, I can get that far, it does not mount the system..
[16:59] <Aelingil> I'm having a problem logging into ubuntu. I start the computer up and it does not load the "sign in" screen. It drops me into (initramfs). Can anyone help me get back into Ubuntu?
[16:59] <YBinnenweg> But it gets stuck after a while
[16:59] <YBinnenweg> At the purplr screen
[16:59] <Starminn> Luis_ Honestly I don't know. You'd have to ask somebody more knowledgable than I for that information. What happened to me though (and other people) is upon restart --- every restart the panel stuff would get moved around and I had to rearrange them how I like. That fixed it though. Is it a permanent fix? I don't know, but at least you CAN get it to work now.
[16:59] <harold> it gives me a driver version which is older...but hardware utility says i have the latest one... but site says tehy have newer releases.. help
[16:59] <Starminn> Luis_ I remember some other command ubottu has. Lemme find it...
[16:59] <llutz_> amin: which is?
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> harold:  the 'latest one' is the latest one thats in the default repos....
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> harold:  so that makes sence..
[17:00] <ruan> ubottu knows everything
[17:00] <harold> Dr_Willis: ohkay...
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> harold:  ubuntu dosent keep up to date with every new version of  things like that.. every 6 mo it nbasicaly updates everything
[17:00] <Starminn> !resetpanel | Luis_
[17:00] <jamesgecko> JeffJassky, I'm not sure it's a permissions issue anymore. by default /usr/share/doc is owned by root and readable by everyone.
[17:00] <Starminn> Luis_: The bot has more arguments than I gave you (or care to remember) so ti might do a better job. *shrug*
[17:01] <harold> Dr_willis: then any option that i can add it??
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> harold:  depending on how things get relaased.. the day a new ubuntu version comes out it could in theory allready have 'old' nvidia drivers.
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> harold:  i would use the ones in the repos.. unless you have some real need for the updated ones
[17:01] <Luis_> Starminn, doesnt seem permanent, i just restarted and the panel was gone again but the same command seemed to fix it alright though
[17:01] <Starminn> Aelingil: I said I didn't know what ot tell you, but was ust letting you know that. Sorry I can't help more.
[17:01] <YBinnenweg> K
[17:01] <YBinnenweg> I dismounted 2 hdds
[17:01] <YBinnenweg> Lets see
[17:01] <ruan> i just go system > admin > additional drivers and then use current.
[17:01] <amin> llutz_; go to http://code.google.com/p/webmin-theme-stressfree/downloads/list and give me direct dl link plz thanks
[17:02] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: any idea what it might be? i've been working on this for 3 hours now.
[17:02] <BluesKaj> harold, lspci -v | less, look for this :02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 10c3 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) then the last line will show which driver you are running mine is ,Kernel modules: nvidia-current, nouveau, nvidiafb . the first one listed is the driver in use , nvidia-current in my case
[17:02] <harold> Dr_Willis:no need as such but i just installed maverick x64... wanted to see how different it claims and really is.. but seems quite as the older were...
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> harold:  differnt then what?
[17:02] <Aelingil> Starminn, yeah i know, sorry i hit the up arrow to re-post my question and hit the last message to you. Sorry about that.
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> harold:  what sort of major changes were you expecting? :)
[17:02] <amin> bot
[17:02] <llutz_>  and give me direct dl link
[17:02] <llutz_>                plz thanks
[17:03] <harold> Dr_Willis: visual for firsts
[17:03] <harold> BleusKaj:i lost u ..
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> harold:  compiz is compiz... No idwa why you would expect major changes in the eyecandy.
[17:03] <jamesgecko> JeffJassky, Have you tried the "Files Outside the DocumentRoot" section here? http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/urlmapping.html
[17:03] <calum_> just to clarify, if I have run "sudo ufw enable", by default are all 65535 ports blocked from inbound traffic?
[17:03] <Luis_> Starminn, i'll try the more complex command now and see what happens
[17:03] <harold> Dr_Willis: I meant in the benchmarking also..
[17:03] <vonvon> hi
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> calum_:  if theres no service running on the ports.. they are basically closed.
[17:04] <llutz_>  http://code.google.com/p/webmin-theme-stressfree/downloads/detail?name=theme-stressfree-2.09.tar.gz&can=2&q=0
[17:04] <Starminn> Luis_: Alright. Ubottu knows her (I say it's a she) stuff. Cross our fingers.
[17:04] <llutz_> amin: ^^
[17:04] <Starminn> Aelingil: That's alright.
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> !firewall | calum_
[17:04] <YBinnenweg> It starts nagging aboutvmaverick stuff?
[17:04] <vonvon> how to install driver WiFi Ubuntu
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> vonvon:  depends on your wireless chipset
[17:05] <calum_> I plan on putting a web server in a DMZ but I want to make sure all other ports are blocked, nothing is running right now
[17:05] <ruan> you could run a portscan
[17:05] <llutz_> amin: but still, using webmin is a real bad idea
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> why put it in a dmz?
[17:05] <ikonia> calum_: then use the firewall to block all ports apart from port 80
[17:05] <amin> llutz_; excuse me i didn't want to offend you I am hopeless tunell is not working
[17:05] <ikonia> amin: you've been told webmin is not supported here
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> shields up web site befor and after setting up ufw. :)
[17:05] <sacarlson> calum_: we have more than enuf security on ubuntu you don't need firewalls in my opinion
[17:06] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: yeah.. i don't really understand how to do it, though.
[17:06] <llutz_> amin: odd, works here fine for ages
[17:06] <amin> llutz_; do u know any thing else open source?
[17:06] <calum_> I'm just funny about activating DMZ on my hardware firewall, in terms of outside attacks
[17:06] <harold> BluesKaj: tried that command but it wont scroll..duhh... damn..
[17:06] <llutz_> amin: ssh + vim is all you need to configure servers, imho
[17:07] <ikonia> calum_: it's a reasonable worry, use the ubuntu firewall to block everything but port 80 and that will be quite tight
[17:07] <llutz_> !ebox | amin
[17:07] <sacarlson> calum_: they will still come in on the ports you have open, apparmor and setup other owners of the files than who runs them
[17:07] <harold> BluesKaj: tried find.... but it seems nothing like that in there
[17:07] <calum_> I havent got any ports open at the moment I checked with netstat
[17:08] <BluesKaj> harold,  lspci -v | less
[17:08] <jamesgecko> JeffJassky, You understand that it goes in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf , right?
[17:08] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: i put it in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[17:08] <ubuntu_> I like cheese
[17:08] <sacarlson> calum_: all the more reason you don't need a firewall
[17:08] <ikonia> ubuntu_: ok, then take it to a cheese loving channel, this one is for ubuntu support only
[17:08] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: Alias /usr/share/doc /var/www/vhosts/guruz.us/subdomains/www
[17:08] <YBinnenweg> Guys wht does the install fail?
[17:08] <Aelingil> Can anyone help me log into Ubuntu from Initramfs?
[17:09] <Luis_> Starminn, nop =( loooks like its not permanent, oh well its a nuisance but once its set up the computer tends to sit there for months without doing nothing
[17:09] <calum_> but don't I need one in case someone scans my box for vulnerable services on port 80?
[17:09] <ubuntu_> theres a cheese loving channel?
[17:09] <ikonia> Aelingil: initramfs is not something you log into, ubuntu has failed to boot
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> Aelingil:  the system is proberly having some big issues if its stoping at the initramfs. when was the last time it actually worked?
[17:09] <ikonia> ubuntu_: not here
[17:09] <ubuntu_> where?
[17:09] <sacarlson> calum_: you just said that you don't have a listiner on port 80 they will see nothing
[17:09] <ikonia> calum_: I don't understand the problem, you want to block ports, block them, block all port apart from 80 if you are just running a web server
[17:09] <harold> Blueskaj: there is one but in 01:00.0 vga compatible controller
[17:09] <ubuntu_> cheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheesecheese
[17:09] <ruan> a...cheese..loving..channel?..what is this?
[17:10] <markskilbeck> lol ubuntu_
[17:10] <maco> ubuntu_: please stop
[17:10] <Starminn> Luis_: Ah, alright. Well, I'd suggest coming back on here and asking about it in about...oh.... 6 to 8 hours. Some really knowledgable people are on around then -- they should be able to set up a permanent fix if you wish. But for now, just remember the command you ran and it'll work -- albeit only 'sort of' lol
[17:10] <BluesKaj> harold, and is it nvidia-current ?
[17:10] <calum_> OK, I'm only going to open port 80. But I will have to keep watch for Apache updates?
[17:10] <Aelingil> Dr_Willis, It was working yesterday. This morning i went to wake up the computer and it did not come out of "screen saver mode". did Ctrl + Alt + f1 to restart the GDM and it told me it could not do it.
[17:10] <YBinnenweg> Guuys comeon can anyone help me?
[17:10] <ikonia> Aelingil: just reboot, see if the problem returns
[17:10] <Starminn> Luis_: ikonix and maco are pretty good to. See if they can help. ;)
[17:11] <Aelingil> ikonia, done that, even went to a previous version. still no luck both kick me to this
[17:11] <harold> Blueskaj:dunno... how to check that... sorry I am pretty naive at this
[17:11] <sacarlson> calum_: it's the applications you run that are vunerable not apache in most cases
[17:11] <YBinnenweg> I only get errors
[17:11] <ikonia> Aelingil: ok, that sounds like a serious issue then, do you get any warnings/errors before it drops to initramfs ?
[17:11] <YBinnenweg> Plz helpme
[17:11] <amin> ebox bettrer than webmin?
[17:11] <jamesgecko> JeffJassky, It looks like you've already got something in that directory. Try mapping it  somewhere that doesn't already have php files in it.
[17:11] <sacarlson> calum_: I've been hacked before I should know
[17:11] <Pici> !helpme | YBinnenweg
[17:11] <ikonia> amin: just differnt,
[17:12] <YBinnenweg> It wonteven freakin go past thd purple screen!
[17:12] <Aelingil> ikonia, I can read some of the errors, they are saying "Mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory"
[17:12] <calum_> I don't want someone finding a buffer overflow in Apache. Thats all I'm concerned about really
[17:12] <YBinnenweg> All i get are buffer I/O errors
[17:12] <ikonia> Aelingil: ok, make a note of them and get a livecd and lets have a look
[17:12] <ikonia> calum_: a firewall won't help that
[17:12] <Pici> YBinnenweg: Please re-ask your question on ONE line with as much information as you think is necessary. We can't follow otherwise.
[17:12] <ikonia> calum_: if there is a bug in apache, you can't stop it being hit beyond firewalling it off
[17:12] <YBinnenweg> Okay
[17:12] <ikonia> calum_: if you firewall it off, no-one can use it
[17:12] <amin> why every body against webmin sth is any thing happened in history/
[17:12] <harold> Blueskaj:hey can u check this out: I ahve pasted the result here http://paste.ubuntu.com/570667/
[17:13] <sacarlson> calum_: I think most of that should be fixed but they will always be finding new ways with different apps in php and other
[17:13] <Aelingil> ikonia, I've got a thumbdrive w/ the installer on it. Should i boot w/ that?
[17:13] <ikonia> amin: massive security holes, not compatible with distros configs, etc
[17:13] <ikonia> Aelingil: will it support a live non-install boot ?
[17:13] <calum_> so would running CGI scripts decrease my server security?
[17:13] <Aelingil> yeah, it boots up and if i want to install i click i icon on the desktop and then it will install.
[17:13] <ikonia> calum_: depends on the scripts
[17:13] <amin> could ebox and webmin install at the same time?
[17:14] <ikonia> amin: no
[17:14] <ikonia> that would be very unwise
[17:14] <jamesgecko> JeffJassky, But anyway, I use lighttpd, so I'm a bit out of my depth here. If you've spent 3 hours on it, I'd just give up and copy the entire docs folder to a subdirectory of your site and run chmod on it to give www-data full ownership. ;-)
[17:14] <sacarlson> calum_: I asume you don't write all your own code that will run in apache,  it maters not what it is writen in
[17:14] <Aelingil> ikonia, yeah, it boots up and if i want to install i click i icon on the desktop and then it will install.
[17:14] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: Thanks for the help.. but i'm giving up for now.. i see no end in sight.
[17:14] <ikonia> Aelingil: ok, lets look at some stuff, but it up
[17:14] <calum_> I do write some html
[17:15] <amin> thanks all  thing shell is better but how prepare myself ?
[17:15] <Luis_> Starminn, thank you for your help and sugestions, i will ask ikonia in a minute
[17:15] <calum_> I don't write my own server scripts like CGI though
[17:15] <ikonia> amin: read and learn
[17:15] <ikonia> calum_: this channel will help you with ubuntu issues, we are getting a bit beyond that now
[17:15] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: That's what I ended up doing. I spent 3 hours trying to get sendmail to work with PHP.. and every step along the way is like a 30 minute detour that dead-ends.
[17:15] <amin> mean google?
[17:15] <Starminn> Luis_: Yep. At least it works now, lol. Good luck. :)
[17:15] <ikonia> amin: any credible resource
[17:15] <harold> Blueskaj:yeah it says current, nvidiafb, nouveau
[17:15] <calum_> ok thanks for the advice
[17:15] <jamesgecko> JeffJassky, server stuff is hard. I feel your pain.
[17:16] <Aelingil> ikonia, K, ran Ubuntu from USB. It is loaded into Ubuntu
[17:16] <JeffJassky> jamesgecko: yeah it's a fairly new thing for me
[17:16] <calum_> I'm going to go ahead and put the server in the DMZ and hope for the best
[17:16] <ikonia> Aelingil: first question, are you using anything fancy like raid ?
[17:17] <Aelingil> ikonia, Nope, I've taken an older computer that had windows on it, formated it, installed Ubuntu on a Fat32.
[17:17] <ikonia> Aelingil: installed ubuntu on fat32 !!! that is really unsupported
[17:17] <BluesKaj> harold, did you install the recommended driver in System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers ? because the latest driver on the nvidia site doesn't work on your graphics card, believe me , I already tried it.
[17:17] <proti> Hello there. I need some help for natty boot problem, is this the right channel or ubuntu-devel is more appropriate ?
[17:17] <sipior> ikonia: also, perverse :-)
[17:17] <ikonia> proti: try #ubuntu+1
[17:17] <YBinnenweg> I'm trying to install ubuntu on my desktop computer. Rightnow only 1 harddisk is mounted. When i use a usb disk to run the live ubuntu version first of all i get this error "glib-warning ** getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" after that it gives me buffer I/O errors. When i try to use a livecd i get the same glib warning and after that i get some stuff about maverick meerkat amd64 restricted which cannot be loaded. Sorry for
[17:17] <YBinnenweg> typemistakes but im on my iphone.
[17:17] <harold> Blueskaj:yeah..i did like u said..
[17:18] <BluesKaj> pothos, goto #ubuntu+1
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> Aelingil:  you mean you installed to a live-cd on a flash drive type setup?
[17:18] <proti> ikonia: thanks, will try.
[17:18] <BluesKaj> oops proti , #ubuntu+1
[17:18] <Luis_> ikonia, when you have a minute if you could give me a hand, i've narrowed my problem/fault down to how to actually fix it, although its not permanent, whenever i restart the computer it goes back to how it was
[17:19] <Aelingil> Dr_Willis, Yeah i downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 onto a Flash Drive. I plug that into the computer and install the OS from that (onto the Hard drive)
[17:19] <BluesKaj> harold, then you should be good to go, didyou reboot?
[17:19] <ikonia> Luis_: one moment, phone
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> Aelingil:  thats not quiet the same as 'installing on fat32'
[17:19] <Luis_> ikonia, no worries, when you have a minute!
[17:19] <Aelingil> no, i formated the hard drive to fat32 then installed ubuntu?
[17:19] <harold> Blueskaj:yeah i did. I had to manually cause it got stuck dunno why... I am afraid there are still vulnerabilities... is there anyway to check and solve any??
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> Aelingil: installed using what tool?
[17:19] <angelkiller> I got a question to answer but i dont know what they want to know...
[17:20] <angelkiller> the question is Find the log files created during the installation and login. Which files and where are they stored? What do you find in these files (you have to google to find info about
[17:20] <angelkiller> these log files).
[17:20] <angelkiller> I think all the logfiles is in /var/log/ and you can view that with logviewer application in system menu. Or do they ask for boot loog and installer directory?
[17:20] <FloodBot2> angelkiller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:20] <stianhj> YBinnenweg, tried x86 version?
[17:20] <sacarlson> YBinnenweg: I wonder if your cpu is 32 bit or 64 bit?
[17:20] <Dwade09> what do i type in the terminal to check my video driver see what one i have?
[17:20] <YBinnenweg> I run wjndows 7 x64
[17:20] <BluesKaj> harold, what vulnerabilities are you referring to ?
[17:20] <YBinnenweg> No prlblems
[17:20] <Aelingil> Dr_Willis, Downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 ISO to my Flash Drive (Thumb Drive). Re-booted the computer and Ubuntu loaded off the flash drive.. I formated my hard drive to fat32, then installed off the Thumb Drive onto the Hard Drive
[17:20] <YBinnenweg> I alsoran ubuntu x64 a while ago, no prlbmens
[17:20] <Starminn> Dwade09: lspci is all your cards -- I think "lspci | grep VGA" might find video. LEmme try real quick.
[17:20] <sacarlson> YBinnenweg: that's software what is your hardware?
[17:21] <YBinnenweg> No
[17:21] <harold> Blueskaj:I am referring to unknown ones.. is there any commands or like to see my system is intact and good to go..??
[17:21] <harold> like windows got scannow utility and else ..
[17:21] <angelkiller> anyone know what they are ment with that question?
[17:21] <YBinnenweg> Im really installing ubuntu not in vmware or something
[17:21] <Starminn> Dwade09: Yeah. "lspci" lists pretty much everything, and "lspci | grep VGA" gives you your video card.
[17:22] <Dwade09> thanks Starminn
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Aelingil:  i would double check the filesystem of your hard drive. Either you got some things confused.. or you are using a feature i thouight got taken out of most disrtos 8+ yrs ago.
[17:22] <ikonia> Luis_: back, what's up
[17:22] <sacarlson> YBinnenweg: well did you do an md6sum of the iso file you downloaded?
[17:22] <sacarlson> YBinnenweg: sorry md5sum
[17:22] <YBinnenweg> Uhmm no?
[17:22] <YBinnenweg> But i downloaded twice
[17:23] <YBinnenweg> Different burns
[17:23] <ilan_> il y a des francais ?
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> !md5
[17:23] <Roasted> Can Exaile make playlists in m3u format for use with my Sansa portable media player?
[17:23] <Pici> !fr | ilan_
[17:23] <guntbert> !fr | ilan_
[17:23] <Dwade09> Starminn,  what i type in to see what vid driver i have?
[17:23] <sacarlson> YBinnenweg: well you could have just downloaded once and checked the md5sum
[17:23] <Aelingil> Dr_Willis, I could easilly be saying something wrong. it may not have been fat32 format. I'm still crash courseing my self through Linux
[17:23] <ilan_> i can speak english
[17:23] <ikonia> Aelingil: ok, lets get back on track
[17:23] <ilan_> so
[17:24] <Luis_> ikonia, so with the help of some other users, we've got my desktop working but not task bars i have to use the following (killall gnome-panel) command to get them working but when i restart they're gone again is there a more permanent solution?
[17:24] <Aelingil> ikonia, I could not access the hard drive that had ubuntu on it before. I'm restarting to see if i can access the hard drive from my other os (on a different Hard drive)
[17:24] <Starminn> Dwade09: Something more like this? http://www.ehow.com/how_6893832_do-check-driver-versions-linux_.html
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  are they starting off screen, or crashing would be a good thing to figure out. YOu could start x with nothing but  a terminal and try 'gnome-session' and see if any error mesages show up.
[17:25] <BluesKaj> harold, open a terminal install mesa-utils , then do glxgears and check the fps at full screen , should be over 60 fps
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  when they do show up. try (as a test) draging them (alt click, and drag) to the sides of the monitor. that way you can see if they are in fact not running when you login
[17:25] <Dwade09> thanks Starminn  again
[17:25] <tuzlo> what do I need to add to have a fully emulated Windows system in ubuntu?
[17:26] <harold> Blueskaj, how to do taht?? i dunno commands..
[17:26] <Roasted> Can Exaile make playlists in m3u format for use with my Sansa portable media player?
[17:26] <harold> *that
[17:26] <Starminn> Dwade09: Sorry I gave you the wrong thing first time. ;) You're welcome
[17:26] <tuzlo> After I install Wine, do I need to install an OS?
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  also do they fail when you log out/backin? or do they just fail the first time you 'reboot/boot' to the system,
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> tuzlo:  no.
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> !wine | tuzlo
[17:26] <BluesKaj> harold, sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
[17:26] <Starminn> !vm | tuzlo
[17:26] <patlbs2> me
[17:27] <patlbs2> you?
[17:27] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, funny you should  mention error messages because 2 flash up quickly before the login screen appears, one says error - no suitable mode found and the other one i haven't manage to see properly but says something along the lines of error - no such comman "terminal"
[17:27] <ikonia> Luis_: when you load gnome for the first time after it boots do you have the bars ?
[17:27] <xrdodrx> !info aptitude
[17:27] <tuzlo> OK, whats the best solution, I only need to run one piece of software but will require IE as well
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  sounds liek thy MAY be starting but off the screen..
[17:27] <tuzlo> !virtualbox
[17:27] <Starminn> Dr_Willis: He tried that already. ;)
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  but its hard to tell. You could try  disabling gdm. and using 'startx' from the console.
[17:28] <harold> Blueskaj:damn some updates are on...
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  then there may be some messages in the console
[17:28] <Starminn> tuzlo: What piece of software do you wish to run?
[17:28] <harold> wont unlock
[17:28] <xrdodrx> can you install windows 7 in virtualbox-ose? :o
[17:29] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, ikonia, no i dont ikonia, and i will get on with doing the tests you sugested Dr_Willis
[17:29] <ruan> not sure but i know vmware can run anything
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> xrdodrx:  I belive so
[17:30] <Aelingil> ikonia, I cannot access the hard drive that had ubuntu installed. I'm going to try and get access to that hard drive before i continue.
[17:30] <BluesKaj> harold, do sudo dpkg --configure -a . let the updates finish , then run the other command
[17:30] <mongy> xrdodrx, yes you can, but you're better off using the new vbox 4.0 which is ose until you install the usb2 extension pack
[17:30] <Starminn> xridrx: OSE is limited in some aspects. To be safe you could grab the non-OSE from their site.
[17:30] <ikonia> Aelingil: that's the problem then, if you can't access that hard disk, that explains why it's not booting
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> vbox has been improveing  all the time. :)
[17:30] <Starminn> xrodrx: I think it should be fine though. I can't ay either way (also see whan I typo'd your name)
[17:30] <xrdodrx> mongy, Dr_Willis, Starminn thanks :D
[17:30] <harold> alright..
[17:30] <sacarlson> ruan: can I boot my usb flash drive with my virtualbox?
[17:31] <harold> Blueskaj:can wine run games and Matlab etc??
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> sacarlson:  with the non-ose version and it setup right. i belive you can.
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | harold
[17:31] <mongy> you can use usb stick, but you cant boot from them, yet..
[17:31] <ruan> i havent got any experience with virtualbox as of yet. only wine and vmware
[17:31] <sacarlson> Dr_Willis: I'd like to try that
[17:31]  * Starminn Man, we're just ubottu'ing it out over here.
[17:31] <BluesKaj> harold, some games i guess , I'm not a gamer
[17:31] <sacarlson> Dr_Willis: I have the non-ose version installed
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> sacarlson:  i know ive made usb flash drive/disrtos from vbox.. but i dont recall trying to boot from one. :) you could dd it to a image file and boot from that.
[17:32] <Brock> quick question...when running ubuntu when im playing a game like after about five minutes my computer just turns off...running dual boot with windows doesnt happen on windows
[17:32] <BluesKaj> !games | harold
[17:32] <ikonia> Brock: probably overheating
[17:32] <Chu> Sorry, back again
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> Brock:  sounds like classic overheating.
[17:32] <harold> Dr_Willis...app db not found
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> harold:  that bot factoid gave a web url to the app database..
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | harold
[17:32] <ruan> i ran a game on wine recently, so yeah
[17:32] <Brock> haha but i can run games on windows all day...kind of what i was thinking just seemed weird
[17:33] <ikonia> Brock: windows may control your fans/psu better
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> Brock:  could be some fans/controls are not working right.
[17:33] <jimcooncat> gthumb keeps dying on me doing a mass rescale. How would I do this with another tool? Use imagemajick from the command line?
[17:33] <ruan> but i know good games with linux support
[17:33] <Chu> I couldn't install 10.10 on EEE PC, so thought I'd install 10.04 and upgrade. Unfortunately despite the clean install, and no other software in, I'm still getting the error when upgrading. Any help, please?
[17:33] <harold> Dr_Willis:ur command gave : event not found
[17:33] <Brock> ohhhhh ok....any way to change fan settings in ubuntu
[17:33] <ikonia> Brock: not if your hardware isn't as well supported as windows
[17:33] <BluesKaj> !alternate | Chu
[17:33] <Pici> harold: Its not a command for your terminal. You need to READ what ubottu said to you here.
[17:33] <izinucs> with the default theme on 10.10 the Firefox menu items (File, Edit, View, History etc) are black on slightly light black making them almost invisible.  I have not noticed that on other programs or windows.  Is there a fix for FF?
[17:34] <Brock> ok so just kind of sol
[17:34] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, ikonia, no the bars aren't sarting "off the screen" they just dont start up at all but after using that command killall gnome-panel they show back up where i left them
[17:34] <ruan> izinucs: did you hover the mouse over the menu entry?
[17:34] <harold> Pici: I am on the page. ohkayyy... gotcha...am just in learning mode
[17:34] <izinucs> ruan: yes.. no change
[17:34] <ruan> izinucs: oh ok
[17:34] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: do you know the name of the process for the bars ?
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> izinucs:  theres always selecting a differnt ff theme.. or ubuntu theme. i never noticed the issue.. but i always pick my fave themes first.
[17:35] <Citizenwarrior> need a bit of help. eth0 and eth1 of my duel 10/100/1000 NIC vanished over night when no one was even using the box... have tried both ports with different cables on different port on my switch and even different networks.  multiple reboots and the output of ifconfig -a is always the same just 'lo' and 'vboxnet0'  where do I start?
[17:35] <harold> So does Wine run like a virtual sys inside ubuntu?? wont it hog over resources then??
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> ikonia:  gnome-panel
[17:35] <ruan> i use lavafox blue
[17:35] <izinucs> Dr_Willis: hadden't thought of the FF theme .. I'll check that out.. thanks.
[17:35] <ikonia> Luis_: when you log in open a terminal and do "ps -ef | grep gnome-panel" does anything come back
[17:35] <Starminn> ikonia: Pretty sure the panel is called "gnome-panel". I told him to run "killall gnome-panel" which is what fixed them but they're still ggoing awya at startup
[17:35] <Aelingil> Dr_Willis, How about Ext4.. instead of Fat32?
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  could be they are trying to start to 'fast' befor gnome is ready for them. but that would be weird..
[17:35] <sipior> Citizenwarrior: have you confirmed that the card is not dead?
[17:35] <Chu> Hmm, alternate... Okay, thank you for the help! But is there no way to fix the upgrade problem?
[17:35] <ikonia> Aelingil: that is the correct file system, can you see you're disk yet ?
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> Aelingil:  ext3/4 are the normal filesystmes used for a Linux install these days
[17:36] <Aelingil> ikonia, i can see it, but i cannot access anything on it.
[17:36] <ruan> asking ubottu the difference between ext3 and ext4.
[17:36] <ruan> !ext
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> Aelingil:  mount it with the proper options, or use root privalages to access it.
[17:36] <guntbert> harold: wine is no virtual OS, its a collection of libraries
[17:36] <ruan> !ext3
[17:36] <Citizenwarrior> sipior, no I have not, what i have done is boot from a Backtrack live disk and it didn't see the NIC either, so I am starting to think it is dead, but wanted a more knowledgeable opinion
[17:36] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, ikonia, should i get the output of that command before or after running killall gnome-panel or does it not matter?
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> ruan:  check the ext4 wiki page. theres good info on it.
[17:36] <ruan> !ext4
[17:36] <Starminn> !botabuse | ruan
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  if you want to be lazy. :) you could make a gnome startup item that sleeps for 10 sec. then runs killall gnome-panel.
[17:37] <Aelingil> ikonia, I am in the Disk Utility from Ubuntu. Anything i try to do w/ accessing that hard drive i get the error: "Devise is busy. There is already a job running"
[17:37] <Chu> Ah, I guess I'm out of time. Anywhos, I'll try the Alternate CD. Thank you again for the tip.
[17:37] <sipior> tizenwarrior: might simply be a bad connection; easy thing to check. are the link lights on at all?
[17:37] <harold> guntbert:so will it install or run directly through memory?
[17:37] <ikonia> Aelingil: it's probably already mounted, do you see it on your desktop ?
[17:38] <sipior> Citizenwarrior: check that the card is properly seated first.
[17:38] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, lets have a go at sorting it out properly but that did cross my mind, if no luck in a min i'll ask you for some directions on that one ;)
[17:38] <Aelingil> ikonia, nope, when i click on it, it does not send it to the desktop like the other hard drives.
[17:38] <guntbert> harold: sorry, I didn't follow your problem, did you ask in #winehq already?
[17:39] <Citizenwarrior> sipior no lights on the box, on either port, have tried multiple cables, have tried two networks (one restricted and one that will give an IP to anyone), no joy on any of these trys... also maybe worth noting is I have also tried different ports on my switch
[17:39] <Aelingil> ikonia, When i view SMART data: it shows the self test failed. and there are 50 bad sectors on the hard drive.
[17:39] <Citizenwarrior> sipior, it is an integrated card
[17:41] <sipior> Citizenwarrior: i guess the good news is that ethernet cards are one of the cheapest components to replace :-)
[17:42] <sipior> Citizenwarrior: assuming you have a spare slot, of course.
[17:42] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, ikonia, the silly computer wont recognize the straight "/" in your command ikonia, i thought the key combo to use it was ctrl+alt+ key before "1" right ?
[17:43] <harold> can i override the constant authorization popups..??
[17:43] <BitWraith> what programs need to be running for package update notices to appear?
[17:43] <Citizenwarrior> sipior yes I have a free slot, just wanted to make sure I have covered all the bases before I spend any money
[17:43] <BitWraith> I'v replaced my WM/DE, and I don't think the right programs are running yet.
[17:43] <sipior> Citizenwarrior: sure, of course.
[17:44] <sipior> Citizenwarrior: might be worth having a look at the board to see if there's any obvious damage.
[17:44] <alfredo_> come faccio a vedere la lista dei miei device audio???
[17:44] <Pici> !it | alfredo_
[17:45] <daveguy> I have a question about sound on an Intel Classmate machine. Could anyone help me?
[17:45] <sacarlson> harold: you mean for sudo?  you can add no password for a user in sudo
[17:45] <alfredo_> sorry... how can i see the list of my audio devices?
[17:45] <Citizenwarrior> sipior yea will do that now...
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  the | is above my enter key....
[17:45] <Starminn> !details | daveguy
[17:45] <harold> well yeah i am on maverick so it means sudo right?? sacarlson
[17:46] <corsten> /j wanskgh24
[17:47] <daveguy> ubottu: Running UNE 10.10 on an Intel Classmate. Sound works fine, but when headphones are plugged in, the main speakers do not cut out. I have teachers having fits because of this.
[17:47] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, ikonia, i've worked it out, i've used pate bin to paste the output, i hope this is how you're supposed to use it, paste stuff on there and then give the link to people, anyway the output is on this link http:/paste.ubuntu.com/570682
[17:47] <krycek> i have problems instaling The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0, has any one manage to install it?
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> daveguy:  ive seen variants of the 'speakers do or dont work when headphones plugged in' or the reverse. - You may want to check the forums. Ive never seen a definitive 'quick' fix.
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  i dont even rember the original problem. :)
[17:48] <pupuserc1803c> hi
[17:48] <daveguy> Dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll have a look there. Dang, I was hoping for a quick fix!
[17:49] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, top/bottom task bars dont show up when the system starts
[17:49] <alfredo_> how to list audio devices  devices? does anyone have the command for this?
[17:49] <CoreWar> Is there a way to open files on different workspaces ? For instance "gvim f1; gvim f2" with f1 opening in workspace 1, and f2 in workspace 2 ?
[17:49] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, i have to run killall gnome-panel everytime i start up
[17:49] <sacarlson> harold: you can add:   yourusername    ALL=(ALL) ALL   in the sudoer file using visudo
[17:49] <krycek> i used winetricks and tried too install The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 on ubuntu 10.10, it give me a typical windows error where u send or not send...
[17:49] <harold> Processes ask for authorization every now and then. its annoying as i am the only user. is there any way to overcome this?
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  i would havge made a startup script to automate that.. and moved on by now. :)
[17:50]  * kirilos_AwAy is away: Gone away for now
[17:50] <daveguy> Luis: I have to do that too at home! Not every time, but at least half!
[17:50] <harold> sacarlson:i dont know how
[17:50] <harold> whats visiudo
[17:50] <krycek> yey..\
[17:50] <sacarlson> harold: it's the command that enables you to edit the /etc/sudoer file
[17:51] <sacarlson> harold: try man visudo
[17:51] <rockman125> hi guys do u know what happened to my server? all files i try to execuse says not a binary executable?
[17:51] <harold> sacarlson:ohkay.. tell me again
[17:51] <maco> rockman125: partition mounted read-only?
[17:51] <rockman125> i can create files no issue
[17:52] <harold> i entered man visudo. now what to override authorization popups??
[17:52] <Luis_> Dr_Willis, i'm up for that, how do i go about it please?
[17:52] <daveguy> Dr_Willis: seems like kind of an inelegant solution, write a script to kill gnome-panel every time?
[17:53] <sipior> rockman125: what does "/bin/mount" show for flags on the filesystem in question. and what does "file /usr/bin/<program>" return for the things that won't run?
[17:53] <sacarlson> harold: is your screen so small you can't see the line 10 lines up? (12:49:36 AM) sacarlson: harold: you can add:   yourusername    ALL=(ALL) ALL   in the sudoer file using visudo
[17:53] <Luis_> it is, but i spent 3 hours here last night and its on the way to 4 today i just need it done =/
[17:53] <SirVendetta> hola
[17:53] <Starminn> Luis_: (Yeah, I've been Googling for a while now and everybody seems to do the same thing -- startup script.)
[17:53] <SirVendetta> alguien que hable espanol?
[17:53] <harold> sacarlson:its not that man. i souldnt understand the lines...
[17:53] <harold> *couldnt
[17:54] <WalterBishop> Is it unsecure to use an ssh public key without entering a password on it?
[17:54] <sacarlson> harold: man it the manual to any command you need to learn
[17:54] <Luis_> Starminn, how do i easly create a script to automate it?
[17:54] <sipior> WalterBishop: generally, yes, although it's a surprisingly common practise
[17:54] <rockman125> hi sipior , it says rw
[17:54] <harold> sacarlson:ohkay..thanks.. but where do i add those lines??
[17:54] <daveguy> Starminn: I changed themes once and it helped for a while, but now it's doing the same thing again. Could it have something to do with the theme?
[17:54] <maco> WalterBishop: no password means if someone gets access to your hard drive they can use the key. if your hard drive or your home directory are encrypted though, its not so bad
[17:55] <Starminn> daveguy: Change the theme and try to replicate. Try different themes. :)
[17:55] <sipior> rockman125: and file?
[17:55] <sacarlson> harold: I guess near the top as seen here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1505447
[17:56] <Starminn> Luis_: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> daveguy:  if it works...
[17:56] <Luis_> Starminn, i'll go through that thank you again
[17:57] <Dr_Willis> daveguy:  altenratively perhaps delaying  gnome-panels starttup till a few sec later.. may work. but ive no idea how to do that.
[17:57] <rockman125> sipior: its behaving real confused, when i try to run ls it says unrecognised option `human` try ls --help
[17:57] <mix22891> how do i uninstall program?
[17:58] <daveguy> Dr_Willis: Okay, thanks again for your help!
[17:58] <sipior> rockman125: does "ls --help" return normally?
[17:58] <Starminn> mix22891: Applications->Ubuntu Software Centre-> Find the program -> Remove
[17:58] <sipior> rockman125: also, what does "alias ls" say?
[17:58] <ruan> mix22891: depends where you installed it from, but ubuntu software centre should work
 ty
[17:58] <rockman125> sipior: no it returns same error
[17:58] <Starminn> Luis_: Yep. SO you're really just writing a bash script and telling it to run on startup. Never done it before though, personally, and I've always wanted to know how so it's fun for the both of us. :)
[17:59] <sipior> rockman125: and the output from alias?
[17:59] <rockman125> alias ls=`ls --human --color=always`
[17:59] <rockman125> :(
[17:59] <sipior> rockman125: well there's your problem...
[17:59] <rockman125> how come this all happened itself
[18:00] <sipior> rockman125: what does "file $(which ls)" report?
[18:00] <Starminn> mix22891: You're welcome.
[18:00] <BajK> I want to upgrade to the 2.6.38-4 kernel in the ubuntu kernel ppa, do I need to take any precautions for upgrading? especially because I use the nvidia proprietary driver on my machine. it worked flawlessly on my notebook with intel graphics but what do I need to watch for here?
[18:00] <simon__> actualize de 10.10 a 11.04, pero por alguna razon tengo unity 2d(tengo una tarjeta de video integrada de 128mb que corre perfectamente compiz)
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> alias ls='ls --color=auto'
[18:00] <Starminn> !es | simon__
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> is the default ls alias here.
[18:00] <sacarlson> rockman125: it might be what it's get set to in your ~./bashrc file
[18:00] <Luis_> Starminn, i wouldn't exactly call it fun i'm about pulling my hair out, why something so easy ends up being so complicated!
[18:00] <Dr_Willis>  color=always can cause issues
[18:01] <simon__> sorry, i made a mistake
[18:01] <simon__> i updated to 11.04  from 10.10, but i have unity 2d(i have a video card of 128mb)
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> Luis_:  at least there are work arounds.. just a question.. you have updated/upgraded your system recently? its possible its a known bug that will/has been fixed.
[18:02] <Starminn> Luis_: Well when it happened to me I fixed it then shortly after I tried to change my mouse cursor. Ha!! Not doing that again. WOund up doing a full reinstall after it screwed over my entire graphics rendering abilities. (Err... my machine's graphics rendering abilities.)
[18:02] <Starminn> Luis_: Anyway, point being it seems completely random. It's not happened even once on this install.
[18:03] <sacarlson> Starminn: maybe you should create a spare user you can login to next time if you break another one
[18:03] <mix22891> i can't understand how can i .zip file
[18:03] <rockman125> it says unrecognised option `--human` again, bear with me mny connection to server is slow
[18:03] <rockman125> sipior*
[18:03] <Starminn> mix22891: .tar .gz. tar.gz .bz2 .tar.bz2
[18:03] <zamba> how can i get mp3 support in vlc?
[18:03] <Starminn> mix22891: Windows has .zip and .rar. Linux has all the oens I mentioned.
[18:03] <mix22891> i see
[18:03] <Starminn> zamba: Installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[18:03] <Luis_> i see, well thank you very much for all your help this afteroon i'll give up for today
[18:04] <vladikoff> is there a way to change these: http://gyazo.com/e88f755c677aeb4804e79ef8e12be644.png to a normal path view?
[18:04] <riboflavin> hi
[18:04] <rockman125> even ssh and other basic services not running on server due to this issue :(
[18:04] <sipior> rockman125: you included the "which" command, right?
[18:04] <mix22891> so how do i .tar file?
[18:04] <Starminn> Luis_: Good. Take a breather. Linux can be bad for your health when something bad happens. ;)
[18:04] <mix22891> please
[18:04] <rockman125> i typed like this
[18:04] <rockman125> file $(which ls)
[18:04] <sipior> rockman125: and what does "which ls" say?
[18:04] <Starminn> mix22891: right-click the file(s)/folder(s) and hit "Compress..."
[18:04] <zamba> Starminn: ok, but i definitely will now :)
[18:04] <riboflavin> do i need to partision my hard drive to install ubuntu?
[18:05] <vladikoff> mix22891, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-268887.html
[18:05] <Lasse1> hey guys
[18:05] <Aikar> riboflavin: yes but ubuntu will do it for you, just drag a block to change how much space to give to ubuntu, and itll do it all for you
[18:05] <rockman125> sipior: it says >> alias ls='ls --human --color=always' /bin/ls
[18:05] <Starminn> !codecs > zamba
[18:05] <Lasse1> do u know some cool apps??? :D
[18:05] <sacarlson> mix22891: you might be able to just right click in nautilus and select compress
[18:06] <sipior> rockman125: do "unalias ls" to get rid of this garbage. or just, "file /bin/ls"
[18:06] <Lasse1> do u know some cool apps??? :D
[18:06] <Starminn> !ot > Lasse1
[18:06] <riboflavin> is ther a way to install without  partision?
[18:06] <sacarlson> mix22891: if compress isn't seen in the list with right click then you will need to install fileroller or something like that
[18:07] <Starminn> !wubi | riboflavin
[18:07] <riboflavin> if i dual boot will it slow down my performance  ?
[18:07] <Aikar> no
[18:07] <Aikar> only 1 os is loaded at a time
[18:07] <Starminn> riboflavin: Nope, not in the slightest bit.
[18:07] <Aikar> dual boot just lets you select which os to boot
[18:07] <Aikar> w/o dual boot your bios still "selects an os" but you only have 1 so it immediately selects it for you
[18:07] <Starminn> riboflavin: Dual-booting is more efficient by quite a bit than not dual-booting. ;)
[18:07] <Lasse1> plz can u say some cool apps for me??
[18:08] <Starminn> !ot | Lasse1
[18:08] <riboflavin> ahh i see
[18:08] <stianhj> Lasse1, photostory
[18:08] <Aikar> and i was warned to not use wubi heh, it was painless to install dualboot anyways
[18:08] <sipior> Lasse1: "man" is a pretty cool app.
[18:08] <riboflavin> so wth is compriz fusion?
[18:08] <Lasse1> what is man?
[18:08] <Starminn> Aikair riboflavin: Right, Wubi *really* isn't preferred.
[18:08] <Lasse1> "man"
[18:08] <Starminn> Lasse1: In Terminal, type "man <command>"
[18:08] <Lasse1> !sipior: what is "man"
[18:09] <sacarlson> Aikar: if you install with wubi don't try to upgrade,  good chance it will break
[18:09] <Pici> !man | Lasse1

[18:09] <sacarlson> Aikar: I should say don't try to update
[18:09] <sipior> rockman125: are each of these aliased as well? has someone been playing a prank on you?

[18:10] <Starminn> !ubottu | Lasse1
[18:10] <sipior> rockman125: what does "file /usr/bin/ssh" say?

[18:10] <rockman125> how somone can do this when the server is not with anyone
[18:10] <Pici> rockman125: What?
[18:10] <mix22891> linux more fun then windows
[18:10] <CoreWar> Is there a way to open files on different workspaces ? For instance "gvim f1; gvim f2" with f1 opening in workspace 1, and f2 in workspace 2 ?
[18:10] <Aikar> im excited to see what 11.4 is bringing with Gnome 3

[18:11] <mix22891> bye all

[18:11] <ugmg> hi. i installed u desktop 10.04 but i try to apt-get update give error  connection timed out unable to connect ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main packages and the last one is index files failed to download
[18:11] <ikonia> kayleigh: ask it then
[18:11] <sipior> rockman125: that probably just means you hit "tab" by mistake. what is the output of the file command i mentioned?
[18:11] <ikonia> ugmg: you are using a 3rd party PPA that it can't get to, remove it
[18:11] <Aikar> lol, so dropping the ver # for the word shell? seems odd, but i was seeing it referenced as gnome 3 still in some things and i see "GNOME 3 Stack" in my sources list too

[18:12] <ikonia> Aikar: 11.04 is discussed in the channel #ubuntu+1 please, not here
[18:12] <rockman125> it says ELF 64-bit LSB shared object
[18:12] <Pici> Aikar, Starminn: Natty discussion is offtopic for this channel, please use #ubuntu+1
[18:12] <ugmg> ikonia, ok
[18:12] <Lasse1> what's "photostory"
[18:12] <rockman125> sipior : and in end it says stripped
[18:12] <ikonia> Lasse1: in what respect
[18:12] <kayleigh> thank you. I installed Ubuntu last night and today when I went to boot it up it came up with a BIOS-type screen, not the GUI interface I expected. I don't know why it's doing this
[18:12] <sipior> rockman125: that's encouraging. you're running a 64-bit system, i hope? what is the output of "uname -a"?
[18:12] <Lasse1> i asked for some cool apps and some1 sayed "photostory"
[18:13] <ikonia> Lasse1: ask them
[18:13] <sipior> Lasse1: look, this is a help channel. and you're not helping.
[18:13] <Starminn> Lasse1: Again, it's off-topic. Go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:13] <sipior> Lasse1: if you have a question about ubuntu, now's the time for it.
[18:13] <rockman125> sipior: -bash: /bin/uname: cannot execute binary file
[18:13] <izinucs> kayleigh: bios type screen? but not the actual bios screen? Did it say Grub> so something?
[18:14] <kayleigh> yes, the word Grub was involved
[18:14] <ShishKabab> When trying to do 'cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdb1', I'm getting the error 'device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument'. dmesg says http://www.pastie.org/1594788 and Google doesn't tell me anything useful. Does anyone have an idea what's happening? (Using Ubuntu 10.10 by the way).
[18:14] <kayleigh> I dont know the difference between the
[18:14] <sipior> rockman125: interesting. and "file /bin/uname"?
[18:14] <izinucs> kayleigh: do you have multiple harddrives installed?
[18:14] <kayleigh> "actual" bios screen
[18:14] <kayleigh> yes I do
[18:14] <kayleigh> one external and the internal
[18:14] <ugmg> ikonia, now it say  failed to fetch form archive.ubunut .com
[18:14] <ikonia> ugmg: ok, then either your network is down or your dns resolution is not working
[18:15] <elfranne> i am looking for someone that can give me a hand for configuring samba, because i am apparently too stupid to figure out how to make it works
[18:15] <izinucs> kayleigh: ok.. what happened is the boot loader (grub) was installed on the wrong drive.  Should be a fairly easy fix.. I'll have ubottu send you a link/how to.  ubottu is a bot.
[18:15] <ugmg> it's WIFI 45MBS
[18:15] <ikonia> ugmg: that doesn't change what I just said
[18:15] <izinucs> !grub2 | kayleigh
[18:15] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: is this for a full root encryption?  I just setup one in virtualbox 2 days ago
[18:15] <ugmg> ok itry diff conn
[18:15] <ugmg> thx
[18:16] <kayleigh> how do I know if I need the first or the second one? I'm sorry I don't know how to direct a message directly at you
[18:16] <izinucs> kayleigh: read even the link for redoing grub after windows.
[18:16] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: It is an external usb drive.
[18:16] <rockman125> sipior: corrupted section header size :-<
[18:16] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: I want to have a backup there.
[18:16] <brontosaurusrex> any recent/valid guides on how to setup lighttpd or apache with h264 streaming mod?
[18:16] <izinucs> kayleigh: read both.. it's ok to install grub to *all* your drives if needed.. doesn't take up space and ensures that you get it in the right spot.
[18:16] <sipior> rockman125: starting to look like filesystem damage...what were you doing right before the problems started? is this a new install?
[18:16] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: but you used lvm?
[18:17] <izinucs> kayleigh: ah.. another easy fix is to change the drive boot order in bios.. try that first.
[18:17] <elfranne> i am looking for someone that can give me a hand for configuring samba, because i am apparently too stupid to figure out how to make it works
[18:17] <kayleigh> I have no idea how to do that or what that means.
[18:17] <rockman125> sipior: nothing, i just logged into ssh and found that commands were not executing, so i just rebooted it properly from there
[18:18] <sipior> rockman125: but how long has the machine been running this install of ubuntu?
[18:18] <ikonia> rockman125: does "ls" work on the system
[18:18] <Aikar> elfranne: server or desktop?
[18:18] <rockman125> sipior: no its 2+ years old install and everything seems in good condition though, its a server on 1gbps line
[18:18] <Aikar> elfranne: if using desktop, just right click/properties on said folder in Nautilus and go to Share tab. itll do it all for you
[18:18] <kayleigh> sweet heavens I have no idea what I've gotten myself into. I feel like I can do some damage if I go messing around with things I dont understand!
[18:18] <sipior> rockman125: first thing i would do now is verify the status of your backups.
[18:19] <sipior> rockman125: just in case.
[18:19] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: No. It's just one big primary partition. Could it matter that it's formatted as NTFS?
[18:19] <Aikar> kayleigh: long as your command doesnt start with sudo you likely wont do damage ;)
[18:19] <izinucs> kayleigh: when your computer first starts there is a beep at one point.. hit the Delete or F12 or F2 key (computer depending) and it will take you to the bios screen .. in there will be menus and an option to list the "order" the machine uses to look for a boot device.. typically the cdrom/dvd is first then a harddrive then sometimes your secondary harddrive. swap the positions of the harddrives.
[18:19] <rockman125> sipior: i have backup
[18:19] <sipior> rockman125: is the machine easily accessible to you, physically?
[18:19] <sipior> rockman125: ah good, that was the right answer :-)
[18:20] <reidar> Hi people. Im trying to get this oldpc to work and ubuntu is doing fine aparte from 1 problem. The wificard is not working. its a sitecom WL-140 and i followed this instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-945299.html but its not working. Ive googled but i cant find more guides to workon. Anyone here has experience with this?
[18:20] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: well I'm not sure but I wouldn't use ntfs in linux
[18:20] <rockman125> sipior: no, i am on lara consolve, machine is in germany, i am in india
[18:20] <elfranne> Aikar : server
[18:21] <Aikar> elfranne: lol maybe cheat and install nautilus on server and use X11 Forwarding? :P
[18:21] <kayleigh> Aikar, I dont know what sudo is so I guess thats good?
[18:21] <sipior> rockman125: you might ask the hosting company to have a look. also, check your log files for disk errors of one stripe or another. 
[18:21] <elfranne> Aikar :  i just want 2 simple things but apperently no one can tell me what is did wrong with my conf files
[18:21] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: No, that's why I'm trying to format the partition with LUKS and will then create an ext3 partition on top of it.
[18:21] <rockman125> sipior is it done by some rootkit or so? why its like that see ls was aliased when i didn't do anything and these executables?
[18:21] <Aikar> elfranne: sorry i dunno how to manually config it myself, havent had need for samba on my server,
[18:21] <kayleigh> ok Im going to try this boot order thing, brb
[18:22] <elfranne> Aikir : no i want to know how to do it
[18:22] <AzizLight> is there a way to hide the titlebar in urxvt?
[18:22] <sipior> rockman125: a rootkit doesn't seem too likely, but i suppose it's a possibility. the ls alias is a bit weird, and i would definitely ask the hosting company to look into it.
[18:22] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: well I'm not sure this will help but it might at least show you what you might need to have http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-encrypted-partitions-over-lvm-with-luks
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> AzizLight:  if using compiz. i think you can on a per window type setting.
[18:22] <izinucs> !samba | elfranne
[18:22] <rockman125> sipior also, httpd, ssh and everything was running before reboot
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> elfranne:  the samba-doc package has several books on samba included in it.  if you want to learn all about it in detail
[18:23] <rockman125> sipior, ok, do you think they might be able to fix this?
[18:23] <reidar> i people. Im trying to get this oldpc to work and ubuntu is doing fine aparte from 1 problem.

[18:23] <sipior> rockman125: can't hurt to ask.
[18:23] <Aikar> Simath: that ls alias looked common, i have alias ls="/bin/js --color=tty -F -a -b -T 0 -H" to default ls to have colors and -a
[18:24] <sipior> rockman125: if nothing else, they can restore from backups and get you running again.
[18:24] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: or maybe this would be closer http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/17/7-steps-to-an-encrypted-partition-local-or-removable-disk/
[18:24] <rockman125> surething, i will ask them and will report you soon, ty bro :-)
[18:24] <rockman125> sipior: yes but i don't like hassle of new install and then restore backups, its pain to setup webserver etc again :(

[18:27] <nroy1> Hi! I'm currently installing ubuntu 10.10 from live cd, and I specifically told it NOT to download updates while installing, but it seems that the installer is downloading anyway. So, is this a known bug or something?
[18:27] <Aelingil> ikonia, Thank you for your help previously, i'm going to have to wait till this self test is finished before i can access the hard drive. If i can i'm going to format it and re-install Ubuntu.
[18:27] <Aelingil> Dr_Willis, Thank you for your help previously, i'm going to have to wait till this self test is finished before i can access the hard drive. If i can i'm going to format it and re-install Ubuntu.
[18:27] <jrib> nroy1: check bugs.ubuntu.com to see if it's a known bug
[18:27] <izinucs> kayleigh: so the drive switched worked sort of?
[18:27] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: That's what I normally do. Is it normal that dm-crypt doesn't show up in lsmod?
[18:27] <andreylosev> how do I restart my notify-osd after killing it?
[18:28] <kayleigh> no, I was unable to bring up any kind of change to switch the drives

[18:28] <BluesKaj> BajK, do you want to shutdown from thje terminal?
[18:28] <kayleigh> that's the info I got when I FIRST tried to boot Ubuntu this morning
[18:28] <nroy1> jrib: ok ;)
[18:28] <izinucs> kayleigh: but the prompt you get is what you just mentioned? not a blank screen with Grub> showing?
[18:28] <th0r> reidar: have you looked into ndiswrapper?
[18:29] <izinucs> kayleigh: use my nick at the beginning of the line by typing the first few characters then hit TAB to autocomplete.. that will highlight on my end so I can see that you responded.
[18:29] <reidar> th0r: the first link is a guide to use ndiswrapper, so. yes ive tried that
[18:29] <reidar> th0r: i might have done it wrong though ;)
[18:30] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: I'm not sure but can't hurt to sudo  modprobe dm-crypt to be sure
[18:30] <kayleigh> izinucs: I remember seeing the word Grub somewhere but I dont remember exactly in what context I saw it or when. I started my computer, it asked if I wanted to boot win7 or Ubuntu, I chose Ubuntu and then a screen came up asking if I wanted to start either of two Ubuntu (one was recovery mode) or win7 again. I think thats where I saw the grub screen. I chose the first non-recovery mode Ubuntu and that is when it asked for my login a
[18:30] <BluesKaj> reidar, looks like this is your wifi chip Network controller: SiteCom Europe BV Device 9780 (rev 01)
[18:31] <th0r> reidar: there is a gui for it...gtkndis or some such....search for ndiswrapper in synaptic
[18:31] <Netw0rkBug> can i install freebsd from windows or linux without cd or usb stick or anyhing ?
[18:31] <izinucs> kayleigh: ok.. that answered the question.. did you install server or desktop version of ubuntu?
[18:31] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: I already did that and it doesn't work.
[18:31] <kayleigh> desktop
[18:31] <jrib> Netw0rkBug: this is #ubuntu, try #freebsd
[18:31] <Netw0rkBug> #freebsd
[18:31] <kayleigh> izinucs: sorry, desktop
[18:32] <BluesKaj> Netw0rkBug, nope
[18:32] <Netw0rkBug> 13:31 -!- #freebsd Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited
[18:32] <jrib> Netw0rkBug: ##freebsd
[18:32] <Netw0rkBug> 13:32 [477 (ErrorNoChannelModes) ##freebsd] Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[18:32] <Pici> Netw0rkBug: you need to be registered/identified to join

[18:32] <Netw0rkBug> im registred
[18:32] <Netw0rkBug> lol
[18:32] <jrib> Netw0rkBug: you aren't identified
[18:32] <izinucs> kayleigh: ok the following command will/should fully update your system and hopefully allow the gui to run on reboot.. it must be typed exactly including the "case" of the letters... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:32] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: well what are you using as a reference to setup by,  any web link?
[18:33] <th0r> reidar: is this a usb wifi?
[18:33] <Netw0rkBug> 13:32 -NickServ (NickServ@services.)- You are now identified for Netw0rkBug.
[18:33] <Pici> Netw0rkBug: That was just now.
[18:33] <kayleigh> izinucs:  where do I type that command?
[18:33] <jrib> Netw0rkBug: now you are...
[18:33] <Netw0rkBug> oh
[18:33] <Netw0rkBug> sorry
[18:33] <Netw0rkBug> :)
[18:33] <izinucs> kayleigh: when you boot the machine you'll get the black screen with a prompt..
[18:33] <reidar> th0r
[18:33] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: I did exactly the same as your last link.
[18:33] <Aikar> is there any way to make pulseaudio not sound like crap instead of just uninstalling it?
[18:33] <reidar> th0r: no, one of those old bigass cards
[18:34] <Lasse1> how do i change the "menu" buttom?
[18:34] <izinucs> kayleigh: the prompt will have your user name in it.
[18:34] <reidar> iminstalling the ndiswrapper gui thing,
[18:34] <kayleigh> izinucs: ah ok. is this happening because it was installed on the wrong drive or what?
[18:34] <Aikar> i dunno how i have this sound issue on pulseaudio of it making sound staticy on 2 diff pcs, is this a common issue? uninstalling pulse fixes the audio
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> Aikar:  determind the chipsets used. check the forums. there may be some twak
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> tweak :)
[18:35] <blackxored> hello guys, i'm about to do a clean install and I want to keep my encryption setup which is luks/cryptsetup, I've done this in the past, but I'm currently unable to remember what I did for sure, so there are any pointers on how to go on that?
[18:35] <izinucs> kayleigh: no.. it just happens sometimes on certain hardware configuations or possibly because windows 7 is also there.. this might not fix it though.. but it's the first step.. next would be to examine what component might be hanging things up.. most likely your video card.
[18:35] <maco> Aikar: yeah, its a fairly common way of sound drivers being broken that makes them interact with pulse wrong like that. please file bugs:   ubuntu-bug -s audio
[18:35] <Aikar> Dr_Willis: im using dell lattitude core i5 laptop at work, AMD x4 Phenom at home with XFi Gamer card
[18:35] <Aikar> so 2 very diff setups
[18:36] <kayleigh> izinucs: ok I am going to try the sudo command and report back!
[18:36] <izinucs> kayleigh: ok.
[18:36] <th0r> reidar: make sure you are using the windows xp drivers and not windows 7....don't think they will work
[18:36] <tamayo> ola
[18:36] <Roasted> Can Exaile make playlists in m3u format for use with my Sansa portable media player?
[18:37] <reidar> th0r, how can i se what i got?
[18:37] <blackxored> anyone? clean install while preserving cryptsetup luks?
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> Aikar:  x-fi only recently got linux support.  creative really dropped the ball with it and linux.
[18:37] <BluesKaj> Aikar, PA is just another layer of aidiomprocessing unless you're using a pci soundcard with several inputs such as digital from other devices , a regular soundcard doesn't benefit much from PA in my experience
[18:37] <th0r> reidar: I usually go to the manufacturers website and download the latest drivers from there
[18:37] <Braber01> Hi, I just found out a magnet was really, really close to my laptop, is my screen ruined?
[18:38] <irong33k> i am having a hardtime running vmware and virtualbox on kernel 2.6.37 ubuntu , are there patches ?
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  does it look funny now?
[18:38] <Braber01> and it was a really,really strong one as well
[18:38] <BluesKaj> Aikar, aidiomprocessing=audio processing
[18:38] <ikonia> Braber01: that's a hardware issue, not ubuntu
[18:38] <ikonia> Braber01: nothing to do with this channel
[18:38] <Aikar> Dr_Willis: i havent installed any drivers for my card
[18:38] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: well as an experiment I'm trying it in virtualbox with ubuntu 10.10
[18:38] <Braber01> ikonia: is there a channel for that?
[18:38] <th0r> Braber01: it probably won't hurt the screen, but might scramble the hard drive
[18:38] <ikonia> Braber01: ##hardware maybe ?
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> Aikar:  they are proberly built into alsa. not seperate droivers
[18:38] <Roasted> Can anybody think of a reason why Rhythmbox randomly picks up different amounts of songs on my mp3 player? It'll say it found 830, then 779, then 650, then 665, then 0, then 700 again, all when the exact amount NEVER changed.
[18:38] <Aikar> but both experience a crackling sound on IM in pidgin
[18:38] <Aikar> remove pulseaudio and its fine
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> Aikar:  and its only pidgin they have issues with?
[18:39] <irong33k> i am having a hardtime running vmware and virtualbox on kernel 2.6.37 ubuntu , are there patches ? or tutorials ?
[18:39] <Aikar> music and video sounds ok though, pidgins the one app ive noticed crackle
[18:39] <ikonia> irong33k: #vmware for vmware support
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> irong33k:  theres wiki/guides for both.
[18:39] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: as I see what it's doing in install I think you should reboot and try again
[18:39] <ikonia> irong33k: what is the issue running virtual box ?
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> !virtualbox | irong33k
[18:39] <izinucs> irong33k: I have no issues with vbox.. what exactly is the issue you're having.
[18:39] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: It works on my Debian (Lenny) machine and normally on my Kubuntu 10.10 PC, but now I'm stuck to this laptop.
[18:40] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: Ok, interesting.
[18:40] <Linda_91> Hello, I was here few weeks ago, I tried to install ubuntu instead of fedora on my PC had a problem with my wireless PCI adapter (TP-LINK TL-WN353G), I installed the windows driver using ndiswrapper with help from one the guys here.. but still have problems connecting to internet using it :( anyone can help please ?
[18:40] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: it's created an image that will need to be booted
[18:40] <irong33k> ikonia: i can't be able to compile the modules.....like vmmon for instance
[18:40] <ikonia> irong33k: you don't need to do that for virtual box
[18:40] <izinucs> irong33k: install build-essential and dkms
[18:41] <kubanc> where do i put settings for remote desktop viewer in ubuntu?
[18:41] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: The notebook is now rebooting.
[18:41] <irong33k> ikonia: you cant run virtualbox 4 without first compiling vmmon and vmnet
[18:42] <ikonia> irong33k: they are already packaged though are they not ?
[18:42] <irong33k> izinucs: i hadn't install dkms ....will it fix the trick..
[18:43] <reidar> th0r, you mind helping me to uninstall the vista driver i used first and replace it with the xp driver?
[18:43] <induz> since my monitor display shows some kind of errors when i am in KDE at 1252x864 dpi, i have to re-install Lucid so what is the good backup[reliable] application
[18:43] <reidar> th0r, seems that is the problem
[18:43] <izinucs> irong33k: no.. it only helps when upgrading versions of vbox and maybe vmware after a kernel upgrade..
[18:43] <irong33k> ikonia: i downloaded the virtualbox deb package and installed it...when running it, it tried to compile the modules...then gave out a few errors
[18:43] <Starminn> !backup | induz
[18:43] <th0r> reidar: is it working now?
[18:43] <Gryphon4200> How do I see what my hdd configuration is from the command line?
[18:44] <Linda_91> Can anybody assist me please? I am new to ubuntu and have problems with my wireless... I read the dcoumentation and still can't get the driver to work :(
[18:44] <raido> Gryphon4200: sudo fdisk -l
[18:44] <BlueProtoman> Yeah, I can't set up my Wi-Fi, either.
[18:44] <reidar> th0r, no. and when i try to install the xp driver it says the driver already is installed, wich is true, so i need to uninstall de vistadriver first
[18:44] <reidar> th0r, and for that i need help :)
[18:44] <kayleigh> izinucs:  that did not work. it said the Apt has Super Cow Powers...????
[18:45] <Gryphon4200> awesome... thanks
[18:45] <mix22891> linux more fun then windows
[18:45] <th0r> reidar: the gtk thing should allow you to uninstall
[18:45] <BlueProtoman> Can anyone help me?  I can't use Wi-Fi on my new Ubuntu install.
[18:45] <BlueProtoman> I'm here through Windows.
[18:45] <izinucs> kayleigh: LOL.. never see that one.. you didn't use any capital letters did you?

[18:45] <Starminn> !wifi | BlueProtoman -- does this help?
[18:46] <chonch> blueprotoman: you probably need proprietary drivers
[18:46] <BlueProtoman> How can I get those?
[18:46] <Gryphon4200> How do I quickly see my mount points?
[18:46] <irong33k> izinucs: i think dkms was the missing piece

[18:48] <BlueProtoman> Can anyone help me with my Wi-Fi?
[18:48] <izinucs> Call to Action.. kayleigh has a fresh install, dual boot with win 7 and multi-drive setup.  The install left him at a command prompt and apt reports having *super cow powers" when attempting to update fully (upgrade & dist-upgrade).. any help for him would be appriciated.. he's new at this so please walk him though what you can.
[18:48] <izinucs> irong33k: glad it worked !!
[18:48] <BlueProtoman> I am using a Dell Inspiron Mini 1011.
[18:48] <irong33k> BlueProtoman: whats your problem...
[18:48] <th0r> reidar: 'ndiswrapper -l' will list the installed drivers, and 'ndiswrapper -d <name>' will remove the installed drivers
[18:48] <chonch> blueprotoman: you need to find out the chipset of your wifi
[18:48] <irong33k> izinucs: :)
[18:48] <induz> there are so mnay backup programs but i have not used one so far so please suggest me the tested one
[18:48] <kayleigh> izinucs: thank you!
[18:49] <induz> as i have to backup my data on this system and reload[re-install] Lucid
[18:49] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: It worked. After rebooting I got another error after which I repartitioned the disk. Then it worked...
[18:49] <irong33k> BlueProtoman: broadcom ?
[18:49] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: Thanks!
[18:49] <Linda_91> I was here few weeks ago, I tried to install ubuntu instead of fedora on my PC had a problem with my wireless PCI adapter (TP-LINK TL-WN353G), I installed the windows driver using ndiswrapper.. but still have problems connecting to internet using it..
[18:49] <BlueProtoman> I can't connect.  Is Ubuntu supposed to list available Wi-Fi connections automatically?
[18:49] <chonch> blueprotoman:and download the proprietary debs that match
[18:49] <reidar> th0r,  reidar@reidar-Presario-R3200-PA473EA-ABN:~/Nedlastinger/WL-140v2$ ndiswrapper -lwl54cfg : driver installed
[18:49] <izinucs> kayleigh: sure thing.. easier I tried that 'cause I think I got all the pertinent info there :)
[18:49] <reidar> th0r,  but no wifi :(
[18:49] <sacarlson> ShishKabab: cool so you needed ext4 or anything other than ntfs?
[18:50] <irong33k> BlueProtoman: whats your wireless device name ?
[18:50] <BlueProtoman> Where can I find that?  I'm using Windows XP.
[18:50] <ShishKabab> sacarlson: No, that's the next step. I just wiped the partition table with fdisk.
[18:50] <Linda_91> I was here few weeks ago, I tried to install ubuntu instead of fedora on my PC had a problem with my wireless PCI adapter (TP-LINK TL-WN353G), I installed the windows driver using ndiswrapper with help from one the guys here.. but still have problems connecting to internet using it. does anyone have any experience in that area here?
[18:50] <th0r> reidar: does the wifi show up in either ifconfig or iwconfig?
[18:50] <irong33k> BlueProtoman: you  using a laptop ?
[18:50] <mix22891> lets take over the world!!!!!!!!! muaahahaaa
[18:50] <reidar> th0r, those are files i should have?

[18:50] <BlueProtoman> Yes.  A Dell Inspiron Mini 1011.
[18:51] <Odaym> when i download a binary, it's as if i have the "setup.exe" of the program?
[18:51] <chonch> blueprotoman: it's windows, right click on anything and your eventually find out
[18:51] <th0r> reidar: no...commands. Open a terminal and type each one (one at a time) and look through the resulting information to see if the wifi card is even mentioned
[18:51] <blackstar> hi, i'm running lucid Desktop AM64, and i notice that it does not empthy my temp folder, how can i fix this ?
[18:51] <jrib> Odaym: not really.  Ideally, you should be installing your applications through APT
[18:51] <irong33k> BlueProtoman: go to the dell website and download the appropriate drivers
[18:51] <Odaym> i didn't
[18:51] <Odaym> i downloaded the binary from the website
[18:52] <Odaym> Packet Tracer
[18:52] <jrib> Odaym: what does it do?  Isn't there an alternative in the repositories?
[18:52] <Linda_91> heloo, I tried to install ubuntu instead of fedora on my PC had a problem with my wireless PCI adapter (TP-LINK TL-WN353G), I installed the windows driver using ndiswrapper with help from one the guys here.. but still have problems connecting to internet using it.. can anybody assit me please?
[18:52] <reidar> th0r, no mention ---> http://pastebin.com/N9K35CeD
[18:53] <Odaym> no
[18:53] <chonch> blueprotoman: Dell = broadcom chipset, no free drivers
[18:53] <kayleigh> izinucs: am I just waiting around for a response now, then?
[18:53] <irong33k> BlueProtoman: try running "echo del -F -r %%system32%% it will fix or your problems :)
[18:53] <Odaym> packet tracer is ....packet tracer, simulator for Cisco, for routing and whatnot
[18:53] <JoeyJoeJo> Is there a tablet edition of ubuntu?
[18:53] <BlueProtoman> Nice try.
[18:53] <BlueProtoman> chonch: So how can I get them, then?
[18:53] <jrib> !who | Odaym
[18:54] <Odaym> you knew it was for you, jrib
[18:54] <Odaym> haha
[18:54] <Odaym> but alright :)
 no
[18:54] <jrib> Odaym: I don't get highlighted otherwise
[18:54] <jrib> Odaym: anyway, you have to read the documentation from cisco then on how to install it
[18:54] <JoeyJoeJo> webdevbyjoss: Darn, guess I'll just have to try the netbook edition then

[18:55] <immy> hi
[18:55] <Linda_91> anybody can help?
[18:55] <th0r> reidar: I would check lshw and see if the card is even recognized. But I am not a wizard at desktop hw....maybe someone else can help.
[18:55] <chonch> blueprotoman: dl the deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/b43-fwcutter
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> Linda_91:  some chipsets just have flakey support. You have checked the forums for that exact chipset?
[18:55] <BlueProtoman> Thank you.
[18:56] <chonch> put it at the root of your cd/usb
[18:57] <blackstar> hi, i'm running lucid Desktop AM64, and i notice that it does not empthy my temp folder at startup or shutdown, can anyone tell me how i can enable this ?
[18:57] <ymonir> any body can tell me how can i get some Videos from Youtube ?
[18:57] <werh> !ops
[18:57] <werh> fuck ubuntu
[18:57] <Linda_91> Dr_Willis: Yes I checked for it.. I was adviced to use ndiswrapper.. now it does show in interfaces but I can not get it to work.. I am new to ubuntu so it might be something easy I am missing...
[18:57] <werh> fuck u
[18:57] <FloodBot3> werh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:57] <immy> i want to backup my files... i have an external usb drive - should i do a full disk encryption on it and then just schedule rdiff to run daily?
[18:57] <BlueProtoman> Which should I download?  i386 or amd64?
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> ymonir:  theres video downloader plugins for firefox
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> BlueProtoman:  deopends on your cpu.
[18:58] <ymonir> Dr_Willis , how can i activate it or make it  work ?
[18:58] <BlueProtoman> Intel Atom N280
[18:58] <BlueProtoman> Dual core, 1.66Ghz
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> ymonir:   go to the firefox extensions page.. download one.. use it...
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> ymonir:  see whats popular there.
[18:58] <Starminn> BlueProtoman: AMD64=64-bit. Anything else=32-bit
[18:58] <BlueProtoman> i386 it is.
[18:58] <BlueProtoman> Thanks, guys!
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> atoms are 32bit i think
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> or are there 64bit atomns out now?
[19:00] <blackstar> hi guys , i'm running lucid desktop am64, and i notice that it does not empthy my temp folder at startup or shutdown, can anyone tell me how i can enable this ?
[19:00] <frixus> HEY
[19:00] <jdeslaur_> hi
[19:01] <Starminn> Dr_Willis: Only the N4, D4, and D5 (just Googled)
[19:01] <frixus> Co mozna ciekawego na linuxie zrobic ;pp ?
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> Starminn:  its hard to keep up with all these new things. :)
[19:01] <induz> any one can suggest me a reliable application to save by data on Lucid
[19:01] <Librarat> after trying to reinstall xorg, xserver and nvidia drivers, at bootup I am getting "Coul not update ICEauthority file". I have only a close button, then another popup comes up: "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited wtih stats 256)."  After that, I just get a background image and nothing else happens.  How can I resolve this?
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> induz:  clarify that a bit more.
[19:02] <marienz> Dr_Willis: I'm talking to you from a 64-bit dual-core atom :)
[19:02] <Linda_91> Dr_Willis: can you advice what could be the problem?
[19:02] <jrib> induz: you mean for backups?
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> marienz:  isent that special :)
[19:02] <Starminn> Dr_Willis: Oh, I'm sorry. And the N3 and 2. But not N2 which is what he had
[19:02] <Starminn> And yeah I agree
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> marienz:  we live in interesting times from a cpu point of view. So many new things.
[19:02] <marienz> technology marches on, et
[19:02] <marienz> etc, too
[19:02] <induz> Dr_Willis, i have to re-install my Lucid on the system, i have some files/folder mostly doc/mp3/video files , i need to backup
[19:03] <cellis> how can i get my sound to play? it plays a drum sound on startup but after that no more sounds. Is there something i need to enable?
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> induz:  so ... copy them, to a flash drive. or your ubuntu one account.
[19:03] <induz> Dr_Willis, they will not fit on 2Gb flashdrive they r about 6Gb
[19:04] <induz> I am sad that i have to re-install this lucid
[19:04] <Linda_91> ermm.. I give up.. two weeks trying to get a wireless card working.. it worked with freebsd and fedora like charm.. going back to fedora.. thanks to all =)
[19:04] <induz> I have to again go one by one to all the applications to reinstall them
[19:04] <cellis> my wireless card doesn't work either.
[19:05] <pipegeek> since switching from lucid to maverick, gnome-keyring-daemon no longer prompts graphically for ssh private key passwords, nor does it automatically ssh-add when using an identity for the first time.  What has changed?
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> !clone | induz
[19:05] <cellis> but i think my sound card works. if the gnome startup sound plays, how can i make sure sound works after i login?
[19:05] <pipegeek> It's still acting as ssh-agent (lsof $SSH_AUTH_SOCK shows that gnome-keyring-daemon has the socket open)
[19:05] <Linda_91> cellis: use fedora or pc-bsd.. ubuntu seems to be not very good in that area..
[19:06] <ymonir> Dr_Willis . i went to my Firefox extension and i didnt fine any there
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> cellis:  you tried just playing a video or somthing?
[19:06] <cellis> yeah
[19:06] <induz> Dr_Willis, Thanks
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> ymonir:  go to the firefox extensions web site.. and use the search feature.
[19:06] <cellis> Dr_Wills: no other sound works. not testing, not youtube, nothing
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> cellis:  now thats interesting...
[19:07] <cellis> i tried that whole "lookup your sound card driver" routine installed alsa mixers etc
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> cellis:  run a media player from a terminal. try to play solthing look for error messages.
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> cellis:  if you have 'tried' everything.. well.. its going to be hard for us to suggest somthing new. :)
[19:07] <apparle> someone reply to this as soon as you see this. I am checking whether network speed is usable
[19:07] <geegeegee> df wont finish, it just carrys on forever, if i do df -h it doesnt bring back the command prompt
[19:07] <cellis> well i didn't say everything
[19:08] <cellis> i just tried the top two searches for "fix ubuntu sound"
[19:08] <cellis> and I think i have it working
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> cellis:  i would be curious if a media player would work when ran as root.. (not a good thing to do.. but a test to try)
[19:08] <cellis> ok
[19:08] <cellis> what is a common system file sound i can play
[19:08] <WeThePeople> how do i select to run Lubuntu
[19:09] <WeThePeople> from Gnome
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  how did you install Lubuntu?
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  the GDM login screen should have a menu item for it.
[19:09] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, it never takes me to that screen (rarely ever)
[19:10] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  err.. just log out...
[19:10] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[19:10] <Dr_Willis> then at the login screen select your name,. and theres a menu/button Somewhere.. for it.
[19:10] <Odaym> how do I deal with a bin file?
[19:11] <geegeegee> Odaym, what do you mean?
[19:11] <Odaym> says here that i should set executable permission on it and run it, but when i do, it prompts me to choose an application to run it with
[19:11] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, when i log out all that shows up is a black screen with>    -     <blinking
[19:11] <jrib> Odaym: it depends on the file.  Did you find the documentation for your program yet?
[19:11] <Odaym> the file is .bin, it says unrecognized file type
[19:11] <Klaus_Dieter> is there still a public tracker that noone needs to register on like openbittorrent these days?
[19:11] <pipegeek> since installing maverick (fresh install), the "askpass" part of gnome-keyring-daemon doesn't work.  What would cause this?
[19:11] <geegeegee> Odaym, chmod +x <file> && ./<file>
[19:11] <jrib> Odaym: run it in a terminal
[19:11] <geegeegee> df wont finish, it just carrys on forever, if i do df -h it doesnt bring back the command prompt
[19:12] <Odaym> thank you ]
[19:12] <Odaym> damn gui
[19:12] <lobo_negro_desie> I have the same problem two days ago...

[19:13] <Dr_Willis> b0ot:  fsarchiver, or mondo/mindi. or perhaps otehr tools.. depending on how you want to restore things
[19:13] <lobo_negro_desie> and reset and after the computer ask again just not write nothing and the problem solve

[19:16] <erUSUL> Osmodivs: get a proper link
[19:16] <jrib> calum: erm isn't that some dos thing
[19:16] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, it does not take me to the login screen when i logout
[19:16] <calum> is there a linux equivalent?
[19:16] <calum> yeh it is
[19:16] <calum> damn
[19:16] <jrib> calum: try ##c if you're programming in C
[19:17] <apparle> calum: conio.h is specific to turbo C I think
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:   when you boot up the first time it goes to  the gdm login screen?
[19:17] <apparle> calum: what exactly are you using in conio.h?
[19:17] <calum> I only want to use cout<<
[19:17] <ohsix> calum: you'll have to replace its use with ncurses
[19:17] <erUSUL> calum: conio.h is a dos thing ... most of it is in stdio.h
[19:17]  * jrib is confused
[19:17] <erUSUL> calum: cout is c++
[19:17] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, when i boot it will take me to the dual boot section but not the gdm login screen
[19:18] <calum> stdio.h includes cout as well then?
[19:18] <apparle> calum: remove conio.h.
[19:18] <calum> it is a c++ program
[19:18] <calum> ok
[19:18] <apparle> calum: #include<iostream>
[19:18] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, it boots right into Gnome
[19:18] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks. The unity-style desktop used in Ubuntu Netbook Edition disappeared on me last week, and all I have aside from the upper bar and keyboard commands is my background picture, which keeps blinking grey epileptically. Can anyone help?
[19:18] <calum> I have iostream
[19:18] <calum> it just doesnt like conio
[19:18] <jrib> calum: that's what you need for cout then.  For more c++ help, use ##c++
[19:18] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, after i boot into ubuntu 10.04
[19:19] <calum> ok cheers, I will try to compile again
[19:19] <apparle> calum: and also add this line before the program. "using namespace std;"
[19:19] <apparle> calum: next time ask questions in ##c++
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  disable the autologin feature then. in the system menus
[19:20] <calum> I have that line too. and yeh sorry. I thought it would be some codeblocks issue
[19:21] <calum> thanks all, it compiles now!

[19:34] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks. The unity-style desktop used in Ubuntu Netbook Edition disappeared on me last week, and all I have aside from the upper bar and keyboard commands is my background picture, which keeps blinking grey epileptically. Can anyone help?
[19:34] <xrdodrx> BlueProtoman, can you please upload that image to imgur? Imageshack seems down from here...
[19:34] <BlueProtoman> Sure.
[19:34] <BlueProtoman> One sec.

[19:35] <BlueProtoman> There you go, xrdodrx.
[19:35] <xrdodrx> BlueProtoman, what type of wireless card do you have?
[19:36] <BlueProtoman> I'm not entirely sure.  My laptop is a Dell Inspiron Mini 1011, if that helps.
[19:36] <xrdodrx> BlueProtoman, Open a terminal and type the following: "lspci" and hit enter. Then paste the output into http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> BlueProtoman: ok if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    what wireless chip are you using?
[19:36] <Backtracker> Hey
[19:37] <Backtracker> Anyone else here?
[19:37] <Logan_WP> !anyone | Backtracker
[19:37] <BlueProtoman> xrdodrx: I will.
[19:37] <BlueProtoman> ActionParsnip: How can I check?
[19:37] <BlueProtoman> Windows XP here.
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> BlueProtoman: run the command I gave
[19:37] <Starminn> Backtracker: 1,624 off the top of my head.
[19:37] <BlueProtoman> OK, then.
[19:37] <BlueProtoman> I'll be back with both bits of info, then.
[19:37] <Backtracker> Who else here uses Backtrack?
[19:38] <xrdodrx> ActionParsnip, lspci would work just as well, right?
[19:38] <ikonia> Backtracker: the people in #backtrack-linux do
[19:39] <Backtracker> I will join that instead I guess
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> xrdodrx: lshw shows the driver used too :), both are fine
[19:39] <xrdodrx> ah, ok thanks :)
[19:39] <Gryphon4200> Does anyone here have any experince putting together an Unreal Tournament 2004 server?
[19:39] <Logan_WP> !anyone | Gryphon4200
[19:39] <zanberdo> I've recently upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 10.04. I have a samba mount I've added to my fstab which under 9.04 would mount with the correct user privileges, but under 10.04 fails to mount on boot and will only mount with root privileges thereby preventing me from writing. The following is my fstab: http://pastebin.com/JcdjyRS9. No difference between what I used with 9.04 and what I'm using with 10.04. I would like to know how
[19:39] <zanberdo> to configure it such that this mounts as it did with 9.04 (with my account privileges)
[19:40] <Gryphon4200> ubottu: huh?
[19:40] <sirtophat> is there a way to completely uninstall something
[19:41] <sirtophat> to make it as if that thing was never installed in the first place
[19:41] <Logan_WP> !uninstall | sirtophat
[19:41] <vedgeboy> !poll
[19:41] <sirtophat> nothing I've ever seen apt-get uninstall or similar do has actually removed files
[19:41] <sirtophat> ok
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> sirtophat: try removing firefox then try launching it, it won't work.
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> sirtophat: if you add the --purge option to the remove command, it will remove the residual configs too
[19:44] <BlueProtoman> Back.  Here's my PasteBin.  This is for that first command; for some reason, I lost the second.  http://pastebin.com/yySD007K
[19:45] <kpounds> hey
[19:46] <michaelxq> i need help installing LBRC (linux bluetooth remote control)
[19:46] <MrMintanet> What is the best program to record 3D Compiz stuff?  I am trying to use both Istanbul and Desktop Recorder, but I get a flicker when I use the 3D Cube.  I have a very powerful computer, so I am not thinking hardware is a factor... but perhaps it is?  Can someone help me out.  I have looked at the "Proper Screencasting on Linux" message board, but that seems hellaciously involved to simply record the screen to a video file.
[19:46] <xrdodrx> BlueProtoman, the relevant line is "03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)"
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> MrMintanet: there is no sinle best ap for anyting
[19:46] <MrMintanet> ActionParsnip, Thanks...  You're more than helpful as usual...
[19:46] <BlueProtoman> So that's the hardware I have, apparently.
[19:46] <BlueProtoman> So what do I do next?
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> MrMintanet: it's like asking "which is the best colour?"
[19:47] <Logan_WP> !poll | MrMintanet

[19:47] <Logan_WP> oops
[19:47] <MrMintanet> ActionParsnip, I have you on ignore from this point on.  Thanks for "trying" to help me all the time...
[19:47] <slackin> Hello, I just upgraded from 8.04 to 10.10 and I run virtualadmin and i got everything working, except bind. bind wont start and is not giving me any errors other than "Failed" I looked in syslog but it doesn't have any fail information there... any ideas?
[19:47] <michaelxq> Logan_WP, ok sorry
[19:48] <izinucs> MrMintanet: it may be a video driver thing.. if it's Nvidia and you're using the "stock" driver you might switch to the nvidia prop. driver.. look in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers to see if there's one there waiting for you.
[19:48] <xrdodrx> BlueProtoman, I'm searching, and it doesn't look like good news :<
[19:48] <BlueProtoman> So what does this mean?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> MrMintanet: you are more than welcome this time and all the other times too :D
[19:48] <BlueProtoman> Does this mean I can't install Ubuntu on my laptop?
[19:48] <xrdodrx> It's not impossible, but looks quite difficult to pull off
[19:48] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks. The unity-style desktop used in Ubuntu Netbook Edition disappeared on me last week, and all I have aside from the upper bar and keyboard commands is my background picture, which keeps blinking grey epileptically. Can anyone help?

[19:55] <jay__> try firefox youtube downloader plugin
[19:55] <izinucs> MrMintanet: that driver supplied by ubuntu is older.. there is a PPA called x-swat that will have a more uptodate driver that may work better.. google.. easy to implement
[19:55] <MrMintanet> izinucs, What is a PPA?
[19:56] <xrdodrx> !ppa | MrMintanet

[19:59] <MrMintanet> izinucs, I went to the website that produces this PPA, but I can not figure out how the heck to get it to actually install.  The site is extremely cryptic for a novice user...

[20:03] <michaelxq> ActionParsnip, how do i install it? i've download it but i don't know how to install it
[20:03] <Citizenwarrior> so get this, I spend most of the morning on here with everyone trying to figure out why my NIC stopped working, WE determent that it just died... So $29.99 latter I have a new NIC, now because my old NIC is integrated can't remove it so i just drop in my new card and boot the box... BINGO now all three of my NICs show up???   BUT!!!! now the system is all buggy, it takes forever for desktop to load, and when it does lots of stuf
[20:03] <Citizenwarrior> f isn't right...   Any ideas?
[20:04] <Delemas> I've got a broken package installed on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Can anyone tell me the equivalent of a rpm -e --noscripts? dpkg --purge --force-all packagename isn't doing the trick...
[20:04] <moes> Logan_WP, This command only list my mouse and keyboard

[20:04] <ActionParsnip> ymonir: i replaced /usr/bin/youtube-dl  with https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/raw/2010.12.09/youtube-dl
[20:04] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: try and disable the inbuilt one in bios
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> michaelxq: depends what file you have downloaded?
[20:05] <Logan_WP> moes: lspci
[20:05] <Logan_WP> moes: I think I misunderstood your question
[20:05] <michaelxq> ActionParsnip, i've downloaded the latest version lbrc 0.6.4.tar.gz
[20:06] <aeon-ltd> its not really a problem besides it clogging up one of my VTs, but why is vdpau always trying to call the nvidia driver whilst running flash?
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> michaelxq: ok then extract the file with:  tar zxvf ./lbrc-0.6.4.tar.gz     (replace the filenme if its wrong)
[20:07] <moes> Logan_WP, That list the controllers I want to see thecd/dvd etc

[20:08] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04 i could but my OLD NIC is working just fine now, it is GNOME that is crazy.... errors like "The panel encountered a problem while loading 'OAFIID:GNOME_IndicatorApplet'." and "The panel encountered a problem while loading ;OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet'."
[20:08] <michaelxq> ActionParsnip, done it...no what?
[20:09] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: so you have taken the new one out?
[20:09] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04 I'm not at high speed as some in here on this stuff but that doesn't sound like a NIC or Hardware of any type problem to me
[20:09] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04    nope, thinking about it though
[20:09] <detrate> any idea why the behavior of rename in nautilus has changed? In order to rename, without selecting the file extension, you now must be in an "icon view"
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> michaelxq: in the folder you will see files, there will be a readme file
[20:10] <xapel> Is there a ppa for the new Unity for 10.10?

[20:10] <serialize> uname -a
[20:10] <serialize> -m it is lol
[20:10] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: well my thinking is that one is broken, and that the ia is getting confused between the working one an the borken one?
[20:10] <bastidraZor> detrate: you're too lazy to type 4 more characters?
[20:10] <detrate> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627110
[20:10] <michaelxq> ActionParsnip, i've read it but it doesn't work
[20:10] <detrate> bastidraZor: don't be dumb, thanks
[20:11] <histo> detrate: what about hitting f2
[20:11] <detrate> yes
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> xapel: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/unity-2d-gets-a-ppa/
[20:11] <detrate> it's a bug, I just found the report
[20:11] <nullset1> having a conky problem.  wifi info not displayed.  seems to be permissions problem as can only get essid (example) via iwconfig if use sudo.  suggestions?
[20:11] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04 even though the old one is the only one with a cable in it right now and it is working just fine?
[20:11] <leshaste> ActionParsnip: Linux lesshaste-desktop 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 21:21:01 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

[20:11] <xapel> ActionParsnip: thanx
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> michaelxq: thats all I know dude, read and study what  you have and you can move from there
[20:11] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: oh, how odd, well remove the new one and restart?
[20:11] <histo> nullset1: add your user to the network group maybe?
[20:11] <detrate> bastidraZor: to elaborate, I'm not going to RETYPE 4 existing characters
[20:11] <serialize> 32bit
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> leshaste: i686 == 32bit    x86_64 == 64bit
[20:11] <canthus13> how would I add an IP address to an interface via command line? Specifically, a wireless interface that is controlled by network manager.
[20:11] <nullset1> histo: worth a try
[20:12] <histo> nullset1: I think you should be already but I could be wrong.
[20:12] <leshaste> ActionParsnip: oh! I seem to be running the wrong version :(
[20:12] <canthus13> (or just change the IP address altogether and restart the interface.
[20:12] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, ok will do, hang on just a sec... have to power down from terminal due to those applets not loading my GNOME right....
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> leshaste: then you will need a reinstall to change arch
[20:12] <michaelxq> ActionParsnip, ok thank you
[20:13] <leshaste> ActionParsnip: hang on.. I don't see i686 or x86_64 in that line
[20:13] <leshaste> oh I see
[20:13] <leshaste> my mistake :(
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> leshaste:  Jan 10 21:21:01 UTC 2011 _i686_ GNU/Linux
[20:14] <leshaste> ActionParsnip: thanks
[20:25] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, ok new NIC out system boots and loads as it should, and old NIC doesn't work at all, back to original problem
[20:25] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: i think you should install the new nic, disable the old one in bios, see what happens
[20:25] <Delemas> Nevermind I managed to bypass the script...
[20:25] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, no GNOME problems at all, smooth as a babies ass, however eth0 and eth1 aren't anywhere to be found
[20:25] <serialize> are the drivers installed?
[20:25] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: yeah, i think the new one was doing something for the OS, not sure what, but try without the old one enabled
[20:25] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, i guess it can't hurt???  brb
[20:25] <mickster04> yeah

[20:25] <serialize> i did but not many peeps there
[20:25] <Bizzeh> hi, if i create a chroot environment within my main environment, and then run sshd on a non-standard port within that chroot, but then exit the chroot... will any clients connecting to the non-standard port sshd still be chrooted?
[20:25] <DP_Prophet> afaik it will be gnome
[20:25] <jrib> serialize: that's the right place for your question, be patient
[20:26] <serialize> :)
[20:26] <psusi> Bizzeh: yes
[20:26] <serialize> what do you guys think of unity ?
[20:26] <histo> Bizzeh: I would think the clients would get terminated
[20:26] <DP_Prophet> looks promising
[20:26] <histo> Bizzeh: but maybe not
[20:26] <jrib> serialize: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat please
[20:26] <DP_Prophet> looking forward to try it

[20:26] <rcmaehl> Ummm? <guest_62> i unplugged my kettle lead, and when i put it back in my keyboard and mouse will not work? i am running linux <- this means?
[20:26] <wolfric> is sudoreplay a feature of sudo or was it a command simply left out of the sudo package.
[20:26] <serialize> does sudo give full access to the system?
[20:26] <mickster04> !sudo
[20:26] <serialize> just that once you know my login password sudo would make my system less secure right?
[20:26] <guntbert> serialize: as would knowing the root password
[20:26] <Bizzeh> just gives full access to the app you run it with
[20:27] <njero> I asked yesterday, but I am having a problem locking onto channels using dvbstream. It works with mplayer... anyone seen something similar. I can share the output if anyone knows
[20:28] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, ok I'm in BIOS and as crazy as it may sound I don't see anything about LAN or NIC or Eithernet... anywhere but the one option to enable boot from LAN... thoughts?
[20:28] <serialize> agreed, just wondered if sudo was a subset of superuser privileges
[20:28] <rcmaehl> lol floodbot troubles?
[20:28] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: there should be some part about onboard devices
[20:28] <serialize> thanks for clearing that up for me :)
[20:28] <njero> serialize: in general it is not a subset, but the way permissions in sudo are granted you can make it a subset
[20:28] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, you would think
[20:28] <rcmaehl> !kettle
[20:28] <rcmaehl> serialize: yep
[20:28] <serialize> yeah i was reading about that last night
[20:28] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: hum....well go thru, usually a bios lets you turn off on baord audio etc too....maybe update your bios?
[20:28] <canthus13> blargh.

[20:29] <sogeking99> hey guys i got my ubuntu usb working and am on ubuntu 10.10 now on my asus laptop(through live usb) but i have no sound
[20:29] <Pici> njin: Those two things need to be on different lines.
[20:29] <serialize> you have to type the script name before python binary
[20:29] <njero> serialize: additionally you can grant sudo abilities to other users, in which case they would not need access to your password. But you would need su access to grant those privileges initially
[20:30] <njin> Pici, they are on different lines
[20:30] <serialize> use """ multi line comment """
[20:30] <iflema> serialize: sudo can be configured for different users giving them access to different things instead of giving away one root password that does all
[20:30] <Pici> njin: How are you trying to execute the program?
[20:30] <guntbert> njero: s/su /sudo /
[20:30] <njin> Pici ./
[20:31] <njero> guntbert: right, su or sudo...
[20:31] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, nope none of that, you know this is the most useless BIOS screen I have ever gone through... nothing here at all
[20:31] <serialize> python yourscriptname.py yourparamters go here
[20:31] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: sorry for you, alls i can suggest is that you investigate if there is an update available for it....
[20:31] <Pici> serialize: Thats really related to what njin is trying to do.
[20:31] <serialize> ah
[20:31] <Pici> njin: And the file is set as executable?
[20:31] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, I guess I can let it boot with the new NIC and then run every update I can find...
[20:31] <guntbert> njero: as the root account is disabled bx default noone has su access
[20:32] <mickster04> Citizenwarrior: yeah i guess
[20:32] <Citizenwarrior> mickster04, good minds on same track.... lol
[20:32] <serialize> even if you sudo su and enter your password?
[20:32] <njin> Pici, yes executable
[20:32] <sogeking99> any one know how i might fix my sound issues?
[20:32] <njero> guntbert: ah, I must be thinking of debian on that, thanks
[20:32] <Logan_WP> !sound | sogeking99
[20:32] <BiPolah> Could anyone help me set up a script to automatically connect to a server via rdesktop?

[20:40] <Citizenwarrior> Anyone know where to start fixing errors like "The panel encountered a problem while loading 'OAFIID:GNOME_IndicatorApplet'." and "The panel encountered a problem while loading ;OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet'."
[20:40] <Perceptron> hey guys, I have instaleed Ubuntu Linux 10.10 Maverick Meerkar (server) with apache, and have set it up to run fastcgi with php. I have followed following tutorialhttp://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-apache2-with-mod_fcgid-and-php5-on-ubuntu-8.10 and it works but when i put the phpinfo.php in /var/www/ when i go url.com/phpinfo.php it downloads the file instead of running the php file...
[20:40] <Perceptron> ...anyone have any ideas? the stuff i found on web and forums didnt help
[20:41] <serialize> have you install php5?
[20:41] <Dagmesh> Perceptron eu entendo de php, só não entendo 100% a sua língua, foda
[20:41] <Perceptron> yep
[20:41] <serialize> you have set .php to execute with php?

[20:48] <Thirtysixway> yeah
[20:50] <tull> hi
[20:51] <tull> i have lost the folder Downloads in the home, how can i find it?
[20:58] <nyarl-tep> aloha
[20:58] <tylerworden> serialize, after reading about nouveau install, I did not. It looks too complicated for me to just go for ti. I am new at this
[20:58] <brontoeee> MarkB, your chances will be slightly higher if you increase the info with every repeat
[20:58] <Sammi16> ChogyDan, yes. and i dont remember making any significant changes before the crash.
[20:58] <Pici> MarkB: Just ask and if we don't know, we won't answer.
[20:58] <Roman34> I have been in all forums and tried everything
[20:58] <nyarl-tep> anyone use temadrive in ubuntu?
[20:58] <nyarl-tep> teamdrive
[20:58] <StraveX> !Roman34 Have you checked your privileges for your profile ?
[20:58] <ChogyDan> Sammi16: do you get any error messages?
[20:58] <Roman34> How do I do that StraveX?
[20:58] <guntbert> StraveX: don't start regular messages with a !
[20:58] <Roman34> I'm supposed to be admin
[20:58] <Pici> StraveX: Please don't start your replies with an exclamation point, you're confusing our channel bot (ubottu)
[20:58] <Sammi16> ChogyDan, yes. and i dont remember making any significant changes before the crash.
[20:58] <MarkB> I was messing around the with Sessions and I went into the Xfce Session to see what it was, I noticed I gained 2 workspaces and the "headers" there the x, minimize, maximize where changed.  I switched back to Xubuntu and they were now on my Xubuntu session.  I used to have 2 workspaces, but now 4.  Also, my "headers" don't match my old ones or my windows.
[20:58] <Sammi16> oops.
[20:58] <StraveX> sorry guys new here >_<
[20:58] <Osmodivs> I have a problem with Blender... I am running Ubuntu version 10.10 64bits, When I try to open Blender I get the following output http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/D0bnk0Xj , bt I expected to run Blender as like yesterday
[20:58] <MarkB> How can I change my worksapces and headers back.
[20:58] <ace> thanks for the help people and bots. i will try making a server with ubuntu software center not the terminal
[20:58] <Sammi16> Chogydan, Yes, i see text, but it goes away too fast to read it.
[21:00] <littlepenguin> Osmodivs: have you tried reseting blender (rename .blender in profilepath)?
[21:00] <brontoeee> ace, same thing
[21:00] <MarkB> Guess not.
[21:00] <SleazyCriss> Hy guys, I've a problem with an amd radeon HD 6450, the open source driver won't load and the closed catalyst driver says that my card isn't supported by the driver what should I do?
[21:01] <Osmodivs> littlepenguin, Reset Blender!? hm... The thing is, I get the same message trying to open Ubuntu's blender and a build I got from GraphicAll.org
[21:01] <ikonia> SleazyCriss: does it say the open source driver should support it
[21:02] <littlepenguin> Osmodivs: ah with that builds sometimes problems occur..i also use them but you need to look in the build if something needs to be done
[21:03] <SleazyCriss> no it doesn't, that is the reason why I switched to the closed driver  but also that one  doesn't seems to work
[21:03] <Osmodivs> littlepenguin,  What about Ubuntu's Blender? they are supposed to be stable, I think it has to do something about my GPU, but I dont know how to fix it
[21:04] <littlepenguin> Osmodivs: have you tried other builds?
[21:04] <littlepenguin> but you should always ecure your .blender folder
[21:04] <Osmodivs> littlepenguin, I am using nVidia's drivers, and sometimes they dont match Linux Kernels
[21:04] <ikonia> SleazyCriss: ok, so then your card may not be supported
[21:05] <Osmodivs> littlepenguin,  Yeah, even older ones, but for some reason every 3d app does not work today and get the same terminal output
[21:05] <gummib> disconnect
[21:06] <Starminn> Massive fail.
[21:06] <Starminn> :)
[21:06] <mickster04> ouch
[21:06] <SleazyCriss> well but that is strange because on windows the catalyst   11.2 driver support  my card
[21:07] <Osmodivs> It's like a quitting overflow app made with a mix of Python & C++ with a touch of Ruby
[21:08] <MrMintanet> Can anyone tell me if Teamviewer's website is loading for them?
[21:09] <jrib> MrMintanet: downforeveryoneorjustme.com
[21:09] <Sammi16> Ok, so my computer says the checks are ok and then says Sammi tty but then flashes very quickly, so i cant even type anything.
[21:09] <Citizenwarrior> is anyone who is knowledgeable about the differences between Ubuntu 32 and 64 bit willing to join me in a privet chat, I have Dell on another chat and I am trying to work out some hardware configurations on a system I am trying to order
[21:09] <Col_Ingus> I need a new diaper
[21:10] <KrisDouglas> Hi everyone
[21:10] <jrib> Citizenwarrior: just ask your actual question
[21:10] <uplinked> hi, i have my local laptop with a development server (:8000) behind a firewall and i want to be able to access it (temporarily) from myhost.com:8000 -- do i want "local" tunneling or "remote" tunneling?
[21:10] <jrib> Col_Ingus: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:10] <KrisDouglas> I have a rather unusual request for some information. I was wondering if it would be possible to bond 2 3G modems through ubuntu?
[21:10] <erkan^> what Martinp23 ?
[21:10] <Osmodivs> !diaper COl_Ingus
[21:11] <Citizenwarrior> ubuntu 64 the .iso is something something 'amd64' does that denote that it is AMD processors only and not any intel?
[21:11] <brontoeee> Citizenwarrior, no
[21:11] <Col_Ingus> lollerskates
[21:11] <Logan_WP> !ot | Col_Ingus
[21:11] <Starminn> Citizenwarrior: AMD64 = 64-bit whether it's Intel or not.
[21:11] <jrib> Citizenwarrior: amd64 is just the name of the architecture and is for both intel and amd
[21:11] <brontoeee> erkan^, martinp23 = martinp23@freenode/staff
[21:12] <Osmodivs> Do you know any good program to overclock in Ubuntu?
[21:12] <insanity99> hey guys i am trying to install ubuntu 10.10, i have set up a 20gb '/' partition, how do  ichoose swap? i dint see a option in the mount point dropdown that says swap
[21:12] <Citizenwarrior> so a duel Intel xeon E5405 system should handle Ubuntu 64 just fine?
[21:12] <Logan_WP> Citizenwarrior: yes, definitely
[21:12] <erkan^> what is staff, brontoeee ?
[21:12] <Guest22064> hellp
[21:12] <Col_Ingus> This is about Ubuntu, we're all hip and cool and stuff because we stick it to the man and run free stuff... we should get together and party.. and talk about all the chicks we've sudo'd.
[21:12] <Guest22064> hello
[21:12] <Col_Ingus> I'm gonna get banned
[21:13] <Roman34> Hi  ... I have Maverick 10.10 and 2.36.35-27. Sound was always working OK before and since let's say december I have an issue with sound. It goes mute automatically. I uncheck mute and put sound level up, it works for a minute and then goes back to mute. It's mute when I start a session... Sounds always work ok with headphones plugged. Can somebody help me out? Thanks in advance
[21:13] <sevenseeker> howdy, I've been having problems with audio on my Dell Studio 1747 since 9.10 (I rebuild each release, fyi).  Ironically, I started out with no sound through headphones only (iow, built in speakers worked) then added some conf lines to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and that worked...
[21:13] <histo> Roman34: try adjusting the level and sudo alsactl store in a terminal
[21:13] <jrib> uplinked: here: http://www.debianadmin.com/howto-use-ssh-local-and-remote-port-forwarding.html
[21:14] <sevenseeker> with 10.10 it is the opposite (headphones work but no built in speakers).  I added the same and then later some other lines after googling for days, but nothing changed... relevant info next
[21:14] <soreau> ! netsplit | WB (-
[21:14] <sevenseeker> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf http://paste.pocoo.org/show/342993/
[21:14] <sevenseeker> snd card info via lspci -vvv http://paste.pocoo.org/show/342995/
[21:14] <insanity99> anyone?
[21:14] <Citizenwarrior> With that then does anyone no if running Ubuntu 64bit as my base system, then running Oracle VirtualBox, what architecture VB is going to present to guest OSs?
[21:14] <Logan_WP> !please | insanity99
[21:15] <sevenseeker> only lines I found in dmesg http://paste.pocoo.org/show/342996/
[21:15] <Citizenwarrior> my apologizes for the typo
[21:15] <insanity99> sorry
[21:16] <joaopinto> Citizenwarrior, using a 64  bits host you can run both 32 and 64 bits VMs
[21:16] <Osmodivs> Does anyone here knows a good preogram for overclocking a CPU in Ubuntu?
[21:16] <brontoeee> Citizenwarrior, i dont recall any problems with 64 bit ubuntu host and various vms
[21:16] <g_0_0> !sound
[21:16] <Citizenwarrior> great, thanks... I am sure I will be back let me relay that info
[21:17] <brontoeee> Citizenwarrior, you should check the gpu and audio card first really, that can problems you later on
[21:17] <sh4g0> exit
[21:17] <insanity99> what is 'swap' listed as in mount point select?
[21:17] <Roman34> histo I adjusted level and then sudo alsactl store but after one minute came back to mute
[21:18] <brontoeee> insanity99, you can certainly dedicate a partition to swap via installer, so whats your question?
[21:19] <Citizenwarrior> brontoeee, I know I have had issues in the past, we are going through the option right now.... when i hit a wall I will post the question here if google doesn't save the day
[21:19] <histo> Roman34: Do you have a keybound for volume down that is stuck or something?
[21:20] <insanity99> well, i have made a / partition and allowed 20gb(is this enough?) now i need to make a swap partition which should be 2gb i believe(half my ram). how do i designate the partition as swap?
[21:20] <lucas> Hi! I have a problem when going to Help-Contents. There are many windows popping up and I can't stop it. Running ubuntu Maverick 64 bit
[21:20] <brontoeee> Citizenwarrior, also, some nvidia cards offers nice vdpau decoding support, so if you are interested in hd video with 3% cpu usage, i'd check that as well
[21:21] <tsimpson> insanity99: choose the "swap" type
[21:21] <Roman34> histo: no... everything is OK with headphones. If I pulse the mute key on keyboard it changes and after 1 minute it goes mute again
[21:21] <spidla> insanity99, 20gb is ok for root partition of ubuntu installation
[21:22] <brontoeee> insanity99, http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HLTTALqHF4Q/TGY-DZv24LI/AAAAAAAAIxQ/h7T5zKZK-c4/s640/ubuntu-net.install.partition.swap.jpg
[21:22] <insanity99> ok thanks guys
[21:22] <spidla> insanity99, and I think swap partition should be at least as big as your RAM
[21:22] <Citizenwarrior> brontoeee, if you don't mind me picking your brain, given I haven't done my own homework and I normally try not to waste peoples time with un-researched questions... But could you recommended kind of the top of the line of linux supported video and sound cards
[21:23] <Datz> hi, I'm wondering what happens to ideas on ubuntu brainstorm after a month and they dissapear.
[21:23] <linxeh> Citizenwarrior: do you want a card with decent free drivers or not ?
[21:23] <maco> Datz: disappear?
[21:23] <Roman34> I went in a ubuntu forum and they told me to had "options snd-card-0 enable=1 index=0 model=basic " + "options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=basic" at the end of alsa-base.conf
[21:23] <lucas> Hi! I have a problem when going to Help-Contents of a program. There are many windows popping up and I can't stop it. Running ubuntu Maverick 64 bit
[21:23] <Datz> maco: I believe they are only held on ubuntu brainstorm for amonth
[21:23] <mickster04> Datz: they are gone? what more is expected to happen?
[21:23] <Roman34> but didn't help
[21:23] <histo> Roman34: no idea
[21:23] <maco> Datz: if ideas are disappearing, youve found a bug in the software
[21:24] <littlepenguin> canonical list of hardware http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog
[21:24] <Datz> mickster04: maco well I'll check but I think an idea is gone
[21:24] <Roman34> thanks histo.... it looks like a demon is running every minute and changes the status.... would that be possible?
[21:25] <Citizenwarrior> linxeh, if GREAT linux drivers for a GREAT card cost a little money but work without me investing tons of hours hacking the system together then I am willing to bite the bullet, but I like open and free for stuff like that
[21:25] <insanity99> does this look ok? kinda nervous first time trying http://img153.imageshack.us/i/screenshotmum.png/
[21:25] <linxeh> Citizenwarrior: by free I mean libre/free/oss, not free as in beer
[21:25] <Jonii> Hey, I downloaded a tool called gpart ( http://www.brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/index.html ) to fix my partition table, and I'm trying to run it from livecd ubuntu
[21:26] <Jonii> I am not succeeding
[21:26] <brontoeee> Citizenwarrior, how about using dell support, let them install ubuntu 10.10, check the drivers, check the sound, check the vdpau support, otherwise they are wasting your time anyway.
[21:26] <maco> Datz: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24575/ april 2010
[21:26] <mickster04> Jonii: gparted is included by default
[21:26] <Starminn> insanity99: Yeah, looks alright to me.
[21:26] <maco> Datz: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25197/ june 2010
[21:26] <Jonii> I downloaded the file, opened terminal, cd'd my path to where the file is, and then tried to run "gpart /dev/sda" but it failed
[21:27] <Jonii> mickster04, gpart, not gparted
[21:27] <Starminn> mickster04: Only on the LiveCD. Not on the full install.
[21:27] <Citizenwarrior> brontoeee just have a chat session up with dell, thats a no go, they won't do stuff like that for ubuntu on the R54oo system I am looking at
[21:27] <spidla> Jonii, if you are trying to rescue your system from livecd , try SystemRescueCD
[21:27] <insanity99> thanks
[21:27] <Jonii> spidla, nope, I'm not
[21:27] <brontoeee> Citizenwarrior, and her name is Michele? ok then, as you wish :)
[21:28] <Citizenwarrior> brontoeee that is unless you know of a part of dell support that even dell support doesn't know about
[21:28] <mickster04> Jonii: Starminn well jonii is using a live cd? so use gpparted instead?>
[21:28] <Jonii> spidla, my Windows works just about as fine as I can expect it to work, and I'm trying to install linux
[21:28] <Starminn> mickster04: Aha! Makes sense now. ;)
[21:28] <erUSUL> Jonii: sudo apt-get install gpart
[21:28] <Citizenwarrior> brontoeee sorry don't get the joke
[21:28] <spidla> Jonii, sorry then, my mistake
[21:28] <erUSUL> Jonii: an alternative to gpart is testdisk « sudo apt-get install testdisk »
[21:28] <Jonii> But, since partition table is broken, I'm having difficult time trying to not wipe out my windows while installing ubuntu. Ubuntu installer thinks my entire disk is unallocated
[21:28] <Roman34> how can i check if something is running every minute?
[21:29] <brontoeee> Citizenwarrior, last time i used a chat 'feature' to get dell support, the staff name was 'michele'
[21:29] <mickster04> Jonii: then windows is probably gone :/
[21:29] <Ubuntu_fedora> !gpart
[21:29] <Citizenwarrior> brontoeee, Got it
[21:29] <Starminn> Roman34: System->Administrion->System Monitor->Processes or "top" will show you everything that's running.
[21:29] <Logan_WP> !msgthebot | Ubuntu_fedora
[21:29] <Ubuntu_fedora> !gpart FloodBot1
[21:29] <Jonii> mickster04, well, then I don't install ubuntu
[21:30] <Datz> maco: humm, well this one idea disappeared, not sure where it went
[21:30] <silverrocker> hi, I have a question about configering static ip address from the commandline. I would also like to set my DNS. I have tried to change the values in /etc/network/interfaces without effect, even after ifconfig down/up of eth0
[21:30] <erUSUL> Roman34: quick and dirty; while pgrep programname; do sleep 60; done && echo "No running"
[21:30] <Aginor> Jonii: I offer hope, give me a moment to find the links
[21:30] <Logan_WP>  
[21:30] <Citizenwarrior> linxeh yes my preference is OOS for all the drivers and such
[21:30] <Datz> maco: maybe it was implemented
[21:30] <maco> Datz: did you try teh search? the "popular" tab just shows what's been popular for the month
[21:30] <mickster04> Jonii: you probably wanna try system rescue, it sounds like windows has been gone
[21:31] <erUSUL> Roman34: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ProcessManagement
[21:31] <Datz> maco: yea, I tried
[21:31] <Odaym> what does the file "issue" in /etc/ do?
[21:31] <Jonii> If it makes me lose my Windows, I'm not doing it. But anyway, I don't think the situation is that bad. Windows(and ubuntu fdisk -l and ubuntu file browser all find my system drives and such
[21:31] <hihihi100> i copy dvds with k9copy, but im not able to copy JUST the subtitles? is there any dvdripper ubuntu based that copies the subtitles alone?
[21:31] <Aginor> Jonii: I used http://www.sysresccd.org/ recently, it comes with a tool called test-disk that can scan your harddrive and recreate partitions for the filesystems it finds
[21:31] <Jonii> mickster04, no, it's still there
[21:31] <Citizenwarrior> linxeh however if such a great item of hardware were to be supported by proprietary drivers that worked out of the box in ubuntu then I would look at using them
[21:31] <jrib> Odaym: « man issue »
[21:31] <mickster04> Jonii: are you sure? you can boot into it?
[21:31] <Odaym> it's a command?
[21:31] <jrib> Odaym: read and find out!
[21:31] <Bijoe> Salut
[21:31] <Jonii> mickster04, sure. I've been switching between livecd and windows all day
[21:31] <Odaym> of course, yes jrib, but i can man a file?
[21:32] <Datz> maco: I bet it was implemented. there are no ideas in that section
[21:32] <Odaym> didnt know
[21:32] <mickster04> \joare you sure that the hdd is unallocated??
[21:32] <jrib> Odaym: section 5: File formats and conventions
[21:32] <brontoeee> hihihi100, subs from videoDVDs? you do know that those are actually bitmaps right?
[21:32] <Jonii> \joare?
[21:33] <Jonii> mickster04, anyway, gparted thinks the entire disk is unallocated, but it is not. It has my windows(and all the programs I have in windows) in it
[21:33] <Citizenwarrior> brontoeee, if a video card is supported with RedHat linux will it also be supported by Ubuntu?  Because all the systems I am looking at have shipping with RH as an option...
[21:34] <mickster04> Jonii: ok
[21:34] <pizzamano> qualcuno mi da una mano con ubuntu?
[21:34] <erUSUL> !it | pizzamano
[21:34] <Jonii> And since Ubuntu installer uses gparted(i hear?), Ubuntu installer kinda fails
[21:34] <brontoeee> Citizenwarrior, no idea
[21:34] <Datz> maco: I guess I'll find out in 11.04
[21:34] <hihihi100> to whoever answered me
[21:34] <pizzamano> thanks :D
[21:34] <hihihi100> no i didnt know subtitles where bit maps
[21:34] <pizzamano> join #ubuntu-it
[21:35] <hihihi100> im a noob, how does that affect the ability to copy just the subtitles?
[21:35] <oracle> what package am i missing: make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-26-generic-pae/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[21:35] <Kyle__> UEC question: shoudl WALRUS_IP_ADDR by defined in all the nodes, or just the walrus server?
[21:35] <erUSUL> oracle: kernel headers « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) »
[21:35] <oracle> thanks erusul
[21:35] <hihihi100> in pirate bay ppl can download movies with the subtitles as an independent file, the user can the choose to see or not to see them
[21:36] <oracle> did you type that all out or was it a script ;)
[21:36] <brontoeee> hihihi100, depends on your final usage, i don't know any tools for linux that will do OCR ripping
[21:36] <Jonii> Aginor, do you know if I could get livecd ubuntu run that program?
[21:36] <hihihi100> ok
[21:36] <brontoeee> hihihi100, warez is not supported
[21:36] <Citizenwarrior> anyone have any idea if a video card is supported with RedHat linux will it also be supported by Ubuntu?  Because all the systems I am looking at have shipping with RH as an option...
[21:36] <Cyberhot> hi everyone
[21:37] <mickster04> hello
[21:37] <linxeh> brontoeee: subs on dvds are text, not bitmaps I thought ?
[21:37] <Cyberhot> Who wants a cool ready .kth backtrack theme???
[21:37] <brontoeee> linxeh, nope, they are bitmaps
[21:37] <Cyberhot> :))))))))))))))))
[21:38] <Aginor> Jonii: I think you will be able to install the testdisk package when you have the live-cd booted, then you can run the tool
[21:38] <brontoeee> linxeh, let me find some nice link....
[21:38] <Jonii> I don't really have any more cd's
[21:38] <Aginor> Jonii: installing the package should not touch your harddrive either, it will al just be in memory
[21:38] <Kyle__> brontoeee: there are some, I've used them, give me a sec to remember the names.
[21:38] <Kyle__> tesseract, that's the one I've used.
[21:38] <Jonii> http://pastebin.com/CMy9nX4H <- This shows what fdisk -l thinks about my disk
[21:38] <luqui> hi.  my computer thinks the battery is low when it's not.  can i tell it not to take any action when it detects the power is critically low?
[21:38] <erUSUL> oracle: i have an alias. headers --> « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) »
[21:38] <Kyle__> Citizenwarrior: RedHat as in RedHat EnterpriseLinux?  Yes
[21:39] <hihihi100> this may work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=273635
[21:39] <hihihi100> subtitles
[21:39] <brontoeee> linxeh, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video#Subtitles
[21:39] <Kyle__> Citizenwarrior: RedHat is a slow moving distro (in terms of package updates, not processing speed ;).  If it's supported in RHEL, it should work fine in any modern linux.
[21:40] <Kyle__> hihihi100: brontoeee: you guys know that subtitles in DVD are a layered video track, not actual text, right?
[21:40] <linxeh> brontoeee: I was reading http://sam.zoy.org/writings/dvd/subtitles/ - interesting. I assumed they were text and the dvd player controlled the rendering completely. thanks for clearing that up
[21:40] <hihihi100> kyle__ no, im a nob
[21:40] <cobas_> Installing Ubuntu. Attempt #2.
[21:40] <brontoeee> Kyle__, i know that :)
[21:40] <Jonii> Also, I have first 512 bytes of my HDD on my friends USB stick. This, I suppose, means that my partition table is backup'ed?
[21:40] <Kyle__> hihihi100: NP.  But yea, it's video, which is why it's such a PITA to incorperate when ripping.
[21:40] <Klaus_Dieter> Jonii: correct
[21:40] <cobas_> I think I should just give up trying to use the desktop CD and always use the alternative CD, somehow the desktop one never works for me
[21:41] <BiPolah> hihihi100: Depending on what format it is, you could try a Demuxer to enable or disable subtitles. If you have no subtitles at all, get something like Media Player Classic and look for a subtitle file for that video
[21:41] <brontoeee> Kyle__, not really video, a series of bitmaps
[21:42] <Aginor> away
[21:42] <Jonii> Great. Now, how do I install this testdisk, what does that software do, how do I use it to fix my partition table, and what are the risks?
[21:42] <Kyle__> brontoeee: I always interpreted it as a video with 1 frame per "page" of text, with keyframes matching the frame it's switched to...but yea bitmaps is probably a better description .
[21:43] <Klaus_Dieter> Jonii: ???
[21:43] <Klaus_Dieter> it is only a table with offsets where the partitions start and end
[21:43] <Klaus_Dieter> it will not do you any good unless your partition table itself is broken
[21:44] <erUSUL> Jonii: as i said before. « sudo apt-get install testdisk »
[21:44] <erUSUL> Jonii: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[21:44] <BiPolah> Kyle, it's not bitmaps. It's just text overlaying the video.
[21:44] <Jonii> Klaus_Dieter, well, yeah, as far as I know, my partition table is itself broken
[21:44] <Klaus_Dieter> you can copy it to your harddrive but if you have to ask this kind of question it is porbably not what you want
[21:44] <kandinsk1> ta
[21:44] <geekbri> does anybody know if sun-java still hangs an ec2 micro instance if you are installling it in a 32bit one?
[21:45] <brontoeee> BiPolah, nope, they could be ubuntu logo jumping around, its not text, its: pictures of text
[21:45] <ResQue> i have a real problem here guys, i am running from the live cd, but when ever i try todo apt-get install. it freeze half way through. i have tryed burning a new cd but i get the same problem everytime. any ideas?
[21:45] <Klaus_Dieter> Jonii:  then you copy it over by dd if=/mnt/fileofthefirst512bytefromthehd of=/dev/hdd-device bs=512
[21:46] <ejv> hello, how do I disable the KVM module when my ubuntu server starts up? it's interfering with virtualbox virtualization.
[21:46] <BiPolah> Hmm, I guess that would allow usage of unavailable fonts, if I'm not mistaken
[21:47] <brontoeee> BiPolah, thats how they solved unicode problem in those days, all languages are magically supported
[21:48] <brontoeee> BiPolah, check http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/DVD/Book_B/Subpic.html
[21:48] <BiPolah> Brontoeee, I mean various symbols and things that may be in one font but not another. Not languages
[21:49] <Logan_WP> mmm, netsplit
[21:49] <Osmodivs> I think My system is about to crash, It does not open Celestia, Blender, Not even show info in SysInfo app, this is the latest out put for SysInfo  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6yXKYGZA   What exactly is hapening to my system??
[21:50] <grendal_prime> grrrr. i just had an id_rsa file dissapear..if that makes any sence
[21:50] <hihihi100> lol
[21:50] <shane_> anyone runnin ubuntu on a netbook?
[21:50] <Kyle__> BiPolah: No, in DVDs it's not text. In some ripped formats it's text, but not on actual DVDs.
[21:50] <grendal_prime> is this some sort of security enhancemtn
[21:50] <Jonii> Klaus_Dieter, http://pastebin.com/CMy9nX4H <- See this
[21:50] <Jonii> Ubuntu installation doesn't recognize existing partitions on my disk, so I can't install ubuntu without wiping out my entire disk if I don't fix the partition table. So, in case this attempt backfires, I wanted to backup my existing partition table, which I think I did
[21:50] <Jonii> The idea is that if something goes wrong, I can just use that backup and my windows is still usable
[21:50] <Jonii> It seems my connection is acting funny
[21:50] <Jonii> Or not.
[21:50] <Kyle__> Anyway, is there a UEC specific channel?
[21:50] <Kyle__> UEC==Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud.
[21:50]  * Kyle__ hasn't found one.
[21:50] <NixGeek> Truecrypt is not giving me a format options page like the once shown here, http://tinyurl.com/tcformatoptions, that was on this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TrueCrypt  Also, truecrypt sits at 100% and does give me an outer volujme contents screen.
[21:50] <Oer> ole
[21:51] <Kyle__> Fack... this netsplitting is bugging me.
[21:51] <Logan_WP> Kyle__: #ubuntu-cloud

[21:53] <Lorizean> anybody here know which packages I gotta get to have the opengl c++ headers?
[21:53] <erUSUL> Lorizean: mesa dev libs and probably glut

[21:53] <Lorizean> got mesa, still gives me an error when including GL/glu.h
[21:54] <Jonii> Hmm
[21:54] <Lorizean> gl.h seems to work though
[21:54] <Lorizean> so, glut?
[21:54] <Jonii> None of the scenarios test-disk-step-by-step has seem to fit

[21:55] <j3d3> is it*
[21:55] <erUSUL> !find glut
[21:55] <erUSUL> Lorizean: install freeglut3-dev then ?
[21:55] <Lorizean> on it
[21:56] <erUSUL> Lorizean: or glutg3-dev or both :P
[21:57] <heiner> ms-gateway.de
[21:57] <tzaeru> uh, does anyone happen to have any clue on why keeping buttons down suddenly stops working?
[21:57] <Jonii> Ahem, sorry, due to netsplit, my backlog doesn't have that command which installs disktest
[21:57] <Lorizean> erUSUL: got it working now, thanks!
[21:58] <erUSUL> Lorizean: no problem
[21:58] <tzaeru> I'm not sure what I've done, but usually after having the comp on for a while held down button counts as pressed only once >_>
[21:58] <blocktree> how do I set my drive with removable flag?
[21:58] <rww> Jonii: sudo apt-get install testdisk

[21:58] <erUSUL> Jonii: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[21:59] <Lorizean> so, now if anybody could help me with this - since maverick, my netbook won't shut down properly, i.e. it hangs during the shutdown and I have to hard-shutdown it.
[22:00] <Lorizean> I disabled the wireless once (before booting, switch on the netbook) and it worked fine, so I guess it has to do with the wireless
[22:00] <Lorizean> anybody got an idea what could be wrong? or tell me what info I should post... it worked fine with lucid too.
[22:01] <Starminn> How do I enter Unicode on Linux (not Character Mapping)
[22:01] <Aginor> Jonii: in a console, do sudo aptitude isntall tesdisk
[22:01] <Aginor> Jonii: or like rww said, sudo apt-get install testdisk
[22:02] <gnomefreak> Lorizean: can you shutdown from command ok or does it also hang
[22:02] <Jonii> rww, erUSUL : "package testdisk not found"
[22:02] <Jonii> Aginor, "packet testdisk not found"
[22:03] <Klaus_Dieter> Jonii: do not touch the partition table
[22:03] <Klaus_Dieter> make a backup first
[22:03] <Klaus_Dieter> chances are if you change something you will screw up your windows installation
[22:03] <j3d3> Loriz--- what kind of netbook
[22:03] <Jonii> Klaus_Dieter, like I said, I have 512 first bytes of my HDD safe on a USB stick
[22:03] <gnomefreak> Lorizean: it could be network-manager hanging?

[22:04] <eross> is there a comparable database editor w/forms similar to MS access that's not tied to openoffice or libreoffice? eg a little more dedicated, maybe produce html too?
[22:04] <Aginor> Jonii: you need to have the universe repo enabled
[22:04] <Lorizean> yeah, i found that thread before. last time i checked, they didn't have a real solution there and it all seemed to have different causes anyways?
[22:04] <Jonii> Aginor, how do I do that, and should I do that? Is there any danger?
[22:04] <Lorizean> and sudo halt doesn't work for me either
[22:05] <Aginor> jonii: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

[22:06] <Jonii> Like, I only have 3gb of RAM. After that runs out, what happens?
[22:07] <Aginor> Jonii: you will face difficulties, but you don't need to worry about running out of ram until you add quite some stuff
[22:08] <ner0x> Anyone familiar with nullmailers/
[22:08] <ner0x> ?*
[22:08] <cobas_> Jonii: if you run out of ram, you start using hard disk (swap area) as though it was ram
[22:08] <Aginor> cobas_: on a live cd?
[22:08] <Jonii> cobas_, swap area?
[22:09] <cobas_> oh, on a live CD?
[22:09] <cobas_> then I have no clue
[22:09] <Aginor> Jonii: it won't touch the hard drive unless you tell it to, so it won't swap

[22:10] <Aginor> yeah
[22:10] <cobas_> bbl.
[22:11] <JosephKerr001> i'm looking into it but i'm running an older version of ubuntu, not sure if that makes any kind of difference
[22:12] <JosephKerr001> the guide i was looking at was for newest version
[22:12] <Jeruvy> JosephKerr001: ppl have been successfully dual-booting for a long time, do you have a support question?  If you're just looking for advise I might suggest #ubuntu-offtopic.
[22:12] <Aginor> JosephKerr001: some of the guides might be too new, but for the obvious things using grub it should be pretty much the same
[22:12] <JosephKerr001> thought so. and if i have any more questions i'll check there. thanks both

[22:21] <Jonii> The suggested command to run it doesn't work
[22:22] <Jonii> that sudo testdisk-6.9/linux/testdisk_static
[22:22] <mgolisch> Jonii: sudo testdisk?
[22:22] <arand> Jonii: Have you succeded in installing it? You enable the universe repo though "software sources" in the admin menu.
[22:22] <ThinkT510> Jonii: try typing "man testdisk" and it should show you a manpage with what options you have to run it
[22:23] <zicho> i think ubuntu is saving files to my harddrives without me knowing... because i hade like 800mv free space earlier, now i have only 123mb, and i have not downloaded anything to my harddrive, what could cause this?

[22:25] <rww> evilsushi: I know it isn't truecrypt. Dunno what it is exactly.
[22:25] <erUSUL> zicho: check the isze of /var/log/ and ~/.xsession-errors
[22:25] <Targeter> normally logs should rotate on their own

[22:26] <Jonii> But, what do I do with testdisk now that it's up and running?
[22:27] <Targeter> yeaaaaa something in your /var/log is chugging space down
[22:27] <Sakuya> anyone run into errors with windows 7 sp1?  apparently having grub or other bootloaders installed makes it fail, and I really don't want to nuke GRUB over this crap :/
[22:27] <zicho> erUSUL /var/log is 2,1 gb and xsession errors only 1,1m
[22:27] <arand> Jonii: Select the disk, and scan it, then select which partitions (out of the ones it finds) you want to keep and which to not.
[22:27] <Jonii> test logical: Partition sector does not have the endmark 0xAA55
[22:27] <Targeter> you could try grub2, its much better at finding stuff. is SP1 win7 even out officially?
[22:28] <Jonii> Is this bad?
[22:28] <erUSUL> zicho: better take a look at them to find out what is spamming them. find out the root problem
[22:28] <zicho> erUSUL probably yes
[22:28] <Targeter> can use the du command to see the size of each directory
[22:28] <erUSUL> zicho: then zero them « echo "" | sudo tee /var/log/whatever »
[22:29] <Targeter> not to spam, but du -h /var/log will output the size of each directory :)
[22:29] <arand> zicho: I would beforehand take a look at WHAT it is that is making them so big
[22:29] <erUSUL> zicho: again find out what is spamming the log
[22:29] <voglster> ok routing issue... network A 192.168.0.0/24 network B 192.168.250.0/24... just a basic linux box routing between the 2 subnets  i can view a http server from a machine in network A to a machine in network B.. but i cannot from netwrok B to network A, pinging works fine

[22:34] <Jonii> Like, I have testdisk up and running, but I like step-by-step guide for my sort of problem, that is, I haven't lost any partitions, the table is just broken
[22:34] <WXZ> there's this flash based chat, where you can use cam and mic
[22:34] <WXZ> I have neither, but I still want people to be able to hear my music
[22:34] <WXZ> would gstreamer be useful for that?
[22:34] <mkanyicy> Jonii, why did it break?
[22:35] <Jonii> mkanyicy, no idea

[22:46] <erUSUL> zicho: solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1162100 <<<
[22:46] <Jonii> testdisk is trying to ruin my computer!
[22:47] <Jonii> What does "list files" do?
[22:48] <WXZ> is there any way to feed the stereo output into the mic input?
[22:49] <Jonii> Aagh.
[22:49] <Jonii> THis just doesn't work
[22:49] <FLJohn> I want to pass some good info on gang
[22:49] <Jonii> "Analyze" finds the drives just fine, but when I try to proceed, it breaks everything up
[22:49] <zicho> erUSUL thx i will look into it
[22:49] <Jonii> And there is no tool to fix that
[22:49] <Jonii> Like, what's the deal
[22:49] <jano> hi all. i think my x11 is pretty b0rk3d. is there a magic dpkg-reconfigure call that can reset gdm, gnome, x11, everything?
[22:50] <FLJohn> As of Today Amazon is streaming movies over the internet.  If you have a prime account, (less then 80 bucks a year you have unlimited streaming.  I just streamed it through Google Chrome on my Ubuntu 10.04 computer and it works fine.
[22:50] <rww> !ot | FLJohn
[22:51] <FLJohn> Ok well let me help you out with something else then
[22:51] <heavy_bullets> guys i have a question.. what's the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?
[22:51] <gedos21> ola
[22:51] <gedos21> fedra
[22:51] <mickster04> heavy_bullets: kde?
[22:51] <rww> heavy_bullets: kubuntu uses the KDE desktop environment by default. ubuntu uses GNOME.
[22:51] <mickster04> !kubuntu
[22:51] <Starminn> Ubuntu uses GNOME and Kubuntu uses KDE heavy_bullets
[22:52] <FLJohn> If you are running 64 bit Ubuntu and want to watch Hulu and can not, download the Seamonky browser from the repository and Hulu will work perfectly
[22:52] <zicho> erUSUL i didnt quite understand that solution... i added "blacklist evbug" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, this should solve it?
[22:52] <rww> FLJohn: This channel is for Ubuntu technical support, not unsolicited advice, thanks.
[22:52] <heavy_bullets> so can you switch betwen the desktop and override that difference?
[22:52] <erUSUL> Jonii: according to this http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step#Save_the_partition_table_or_search_for_more_partitions.3F <<< you choose writte on the menu not proceed
[22:53] <erUSUL> zicho: yes; do « modprobe -r evbug » too
[22:53] <zicho> erUSUL thx, should i erase the huge logs now, or does that cause problems?
[22:53] <Jonii> ersul, there is no "write" until you try to proceed or search, and that messes the table up entirely
[22:54] <erUSUL> zicho: better 0 them
[22:54] <Jonii> But, I try to fight fire with fire. I search more!
[22:54] <zicho> erUSUL how do i do that?
[22:54] <Firefishe> I'm running 10.04 LTS.  Everything is running reasonably smoothly, with little difficulty.  Considering this is a laptop circa 2008, is there any major reason to upgrade to meerkat?
[22:54] <erUSUL> zicho:  « echo "" | sudo tee /var/log/whatever »
[22:54] <rww> Firefishe: not really, no
[22:54] <jrib> Firefishe: nope, if lucid works, stick with it
[22:54] <Firefishe> rww, jrib:  thank you, I thought as much
[22:54] <rww> Firefishe: if you stay on 10.04, you have the benefit of it being an LTS, so it's supported for 3 years (instead of 18 months) and can be upgraded directly to the next LTS when it comes out.
[22:55] <Jonii> I'm a bit worried that Windows RE(store) changes name to "PQSERVICE", but whatever
[22:55] <erUSUL> zicho: i.e « echo "" | sudo tee /var/log/{syslog,messages} »
[22:55] <arand> zicho: Or you could use "logrotate"
[22:55] <Firefishe> rww:  really?  I did not know that about the LTS releases.  I have no problems with lucid, in fact, it's been the most stable u(k)(x)ubuntu I've used.
[22:55] <rww> !lts
[22:56] <erUSUL> arand: well a 2,1 Gib log will compress quite a bit but still...
[22:56] <drexl> I have on old hard drive which is reported in lubuntu as having many bad sectors how do I repair them, it's ntfs
[22:56] <IsmAvatar> drexl: send to manufacturer, ask for replacement
[22:56] <IsmAvatar> :-p
[22:56] <erUSUL> drexl: you can not repair them... you can mark them so they are not used check ntfs utils in windows-
[22:57] <Firefishe> rww:  backports keeps kde up to date, so I'm good there.  Haven't had a chance to try the new gnome yet...is there a way to try it out in a stand-alone fashion, perhaps?
[22:57] <zicho> erUSUL thank you :)
[22:57] <rww> Firefishe: put it on a USB stick and try it in Live USB?
[22:57] <erUSUL> no problem
[22:57] <olimones_> Hello, I have a problem installing asterisk-GUI 2.0 on a ubuntu server. Does any one can help?. I see the Web interface but when i try to log on it cycles looking to verify rights to write on gui folder.
[22:57] <drexl> I ran chkdsk \r it took all night and there are still bad sectors
[22:57] <Firefishe> rww:  I guess that'd work.  usb images are on the main site, correct?
[22:58] <sheant> drexl: Disks with errors, throw them away. New disks are much cheaper than the pain from losing data.
[22:58] <rww> Firefishe: you use the normal ISO image with Startup Disk Creator (found under System -> Administration, I think)
[22:58] <drexl> sheant: that's what I'm going to do
[22:58] <sheant> drexl: Good choice. :)
[22:59] <drexl> what's a good linux disk cloning tool?
[22:59] <olimones_> I have search on google and so far have had no solution even though it seems i am not the only one with this problem
[22:59] <Tamagotchi-0P0Pr> gparted drexl
[23:00] <drexl> Tamagotchi-0P0Pr: I was unaware gparted did cloning
[23:00] <Tamagotchi-0P0Pr> or i am being mixed up.. sorry bout that better dc
[23:01] <Jonii> Does empty space on a disk need to be partitioned somehow?
[23:01] <YankDownUnder> Define empty
[23:01] <WXZ> how can I record desktop audio
[23:01] <WXZ> and stream it directly into the mic input?
[23:02] <neil_d> Athenon: I got the freenx installed... but I can't seem to find a client (viewer) what do I use?
[23:02] <Logan_WP> YankDownUnder: containing nothing <empty shelves>
[23:02] <Jonii> Like, if I just use testdisk to partition C: and D:, which leaves last 14GB on my disk totally unallocated, and then run Ubuntu installation and install Ubuntu to the last 14GB, is there a problem?
[23:02] <YankDownUnder> Logan_WP, Ah...
[23:02] <YankDownUnder> Unallocated - grow already used partitions to use that space, or create a completely new partition...?
[23:03] <daniel_tree> is it safe to turn of the acpi ?
[23:03] <Jonii> YankDownUnder, Ubuntu installation should create a new partition for itself at the end of the disk
[23:03] <YankDownUnder> Jonii, "should" being the operative word...
[23:04] <Jonii> YankDownUnder, Ubuntu installation should know how to do that, right? Or not?
[23:04] <tobier> my network manager is no longer visible, however it evidently starts up because I got automatically connected
[23:04] <mickster04> Jonii: yeah, you can manually specificy partitions in the installer
[23:04] <tobier> why? :P
[23:05] <YankDownUnder> Jonii, Rarely do allow for "automatic" partitioning on either my own machines or client machines - I have a preference to enforce my own partition scheme (and filesystem) - therefore, I do it manually.
[23:05] <denwerko> tobier, try alt+f2 nm-applet
[23:05] <tobier> if I kill nm-applet and restarts, it shows up in my notification area, but not when logging in
[23:05] <tobier> *restart the applet
[23:05] <daniel_tree> does anyone see what I write ???
[23:05] <Jonii> YankDownUnder, naturally I'd do it manually
[23:06] <Jonii> The question was if it was possible to do it using installation program
[23:06] <serard> oh guys I'm sorry about the away msg :/
[23:06] <denwerko> daniel_tree, yes, we do. about acpi, it should depend on your hw (if it is safe or not)
[23:06] <YankDownUnder> Jonii, During the installation - you're allowed to check the partitioning scheme.
[23:07] <daniel_tree> denwerko, I have an annoing bug..that happens every time
[23:07] <denwerko> daniel_tree, why dont you try booting without acpi from liveCD or liveUSB ?
[23:07] <tobier> so, any ideas why the network manager starts doesn't show up in the notification bar until I kill it and restart it?
[23:07] <theborger> anyone give me a hand on getting apt-get to work? i need to install x

[23:13] <kaushal> Hi
[23:13] <mickster04> hello
[23:13] <kaushal> Can someone please guide me about setting P2P link ?
[23:13] <daniel_tree> denwerko, yes..those guys have the same problem :( I have an acer 5930g too like one of those guys...
[23:14] <theborger> mickster04, i cant get into X how  can i run synaptics?
[23:14] <mickster04> theborger: a valid point
[23:14] <magicianlord> theborger: from terminal, you run apt-get
[23:14] <daniel_tree> denwerko, but no solution :(
[23:14] <mickster04> theborger: if tab complete doesn't find it, have you run apt-get update
[23:14] <kaushal> is there a ubuntu networking channel ?
[23:14] <denwerko> daniel_tree, yep. Have you tried new kernel ?
[23:14] <magicianlord> apt-get is easy
[23:14] <drexl> Noxes: what wireless card are you using, I use ndiswrapper for all my cards
[23:14] <Noxes> I was running ubuntu 10.10 before, and I had my RT3090pci wireless card working perfectly. I decided to reinstall Ubuntu, but everytime I restarted after installing the drivers, it wouldn't work at all.. I checked "lspci" and instead of displaying the Ralink 3090 info, it just says "Device d8dc:f8d8" and lshw said it's "unclaimed".
[23:14] <mickster04> magicianlord: pay attention, he has done, it doesn't work

[23:15] <Noxes> I've searched google along with the ubuntu forums to no avail.
[23:16] <bowentwo> ok i am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 i can do it on the live cd and i have 1 monitor/1vidcard i don't think the other video card/monitor is being seen. I want to do a real install but am nervous of driver to use for 2 xfx 6850's i'm completely new to this so i apologize now if this is a simple task.\
[23:16] <mickster04> Noxes: update ungrade?
[23:16] <Noxes> Excuse me?
[23:17] <mickster04> Noxes: have you run update on your system recently?
[23:17] <ikonia> bowentwo: the nvidia propritary drivers are not happy with 2 graphics cards, twinview likes to use one video card
[23:17] <magicianlord> is there an ubuntu networking channel?
[23:17] <ikonia> bowentwo: if two monitors share one video card then twinview is happy
[23:17] <ikonia> magicianlord: just ask the question
[23:17] <syn-ack> magicianlord, you're kinda in it
[23:18] <Noxes> Yes, multiple times, but since I reinstalled ubuntu, it's just been sitting as Ubuntu 10.10 normally, without upgrades.
[23:18] <kaushal> ikonia: Can someone please guide me about setting P2P link ?
[23:18] <bowentwo> ikonia: sadly the 6850's are ati/amd cards
[23:18] <daniel_tree> denwerko, Linux version 2.6.35-25-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) ) #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011
[23:18] <rww> magicianlord: please don't repeat questions from other users
[23:18] <ikonia> kaushal: in what respect
[23:18] <rww> ubottu: tell kaushal about crossposting
[23:18] <denwerko> daniel_tree, yes, sure. i am running 2.6.38-rc6. if you have time, you could try compiling (how to is on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild). If it is kernel problem, this could help
[23:18] <ikonia> bowentwo: same is true of the ati cards, only in my experience worse
[23:18] <bowentwo> ikonia: lol thank you for the help
[23:18] <WXZ> is it possible to record your desktop sound and stream it as your mic
[23:19] <WXZ> like for skype and other chat stuff
[23:19] <kaushal> ikonia: not sure how to proceed
[23:19] <ikonia> bowentwo: I'm sorry it's not a positive response
[23:19] <daniel_tree> denwerko, I think is a kernel issue ..cause in 9.10 it wasnt this bug
[23:19] <ikonia> kaushal: you've not asked a question yet
[23:19] <quentusrex> Anyone know if iit is possible to start the download of all the packages needed to upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04?
[23:19] <mickster04> WXZ: you can get male to male 3.5 jack cables
[23:19] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys, when upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, during "Setting new software channels", it fails with the following error: http://pastebin.com/bqGjs8LZ looking at apt.log it looks like it might be a problem with my proprietary graphics driver.
[23:19] <denwerko> daniel_tree, btw, does it affect system performance, suspending or something else ?
[23:19] <Noxes> It's currently set as a Mint install though, I wanted to see if another distro would help.. I plan to install back to ubuntu.. But either way it still displays a weird device name in lspci, and drivers will not work.
[23:19] <magicianlord> denwerko: what bug
[23:19] <mickster04> quentusrex: it's called the live disk iso?
[23:19] <ikonia> quentusrex: it downloads it during the upgrade process
[23:19] <quentusrex> It will take hours for the packages to download, but I will not be ready to start the upgrade until tomorrow.
[23:19] <kaushal> ikonia: I have a P2P link between Data Center and our office
[23:19] <ikonia> Noxes: if it's mint we can't help
[23:19] <ikonia> kaushal: ok ?
[23:19] <mickster04> quentusrex: just download and burn the ISO
[23:20] <kaushal> so how do i set it up
[23:20] <denwerko> magicianlord, ask daniel_tree
[23:20] <daniel_tree> denwerko, the keyboard is not responding...when I type the writing lags
[23:20] <WXZ> mickster04: and then attach the mic input to the stereo output?
[23:20] <bowentwo> so ikonia: should i just stick with windows 7, till support can be found?
[23:20] <kaushal> like networking diagram
[23:20] <WXZ> I don't think it works that way
[23:20] <Noxes> Then I'll just install back to ubuntu on it.. It'll still display the same problem though.
[23:20] <ikonia> kaushal: it should just be a network connection to your ubuntu machine
[23:20] <mickster04> WXZ: yes
[23:20] <ikonia> Noxes: ok
[23:20] <WXZ> I think the mic input is a lot more sensitive then the mic output
[23:20] <kaushal> ikonia: can i pvt message you ?
[23:20] <WXZ> and it'll fry it
[23:20] <ikonia> kaushal: I'd rather you didn't,
[23:20] <WXZ> I'm pretty sure I heard that
[23:20] <ikonia> kaushal: better to speak in the hcannel
[23:20] <ikonia> channel
[23:20] <Noxes> Other than that, what do you think would be a good possible fix for this?
[23:20] <mickster04> WXZ: stick the ends in your ears if you want but mic to audio in will work best
[23:20] <kaushal> since its high volume
[23:20] <ikonia> kaushal: just speak in the channel
[23:21] <mickster04> WXZ: unlikely
[23:21] <syn-ack> ikonia! ikonia! I wanna pvt message you too! :P
[23:21] <daniel_tree> denwerko,  so it's impossible to continue working after the error occurs
[23:21] <mickster04> !pastebin
[23:21] <denwerko> daniel_tree, something like this ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466442
[23:21] <kaushal> so i need to 10 PCs the P2P connection via gateway or switch
[23:21] <ikonia> kaushal: ok, that will be done at the network device level, not the ubuntu level
[23:22] <mickster04> kaushal: you are mixing different layers of the OSI diagram
[23:22] <kaushal> mickster04: ok
[23:22] <IsmAvatar> 10.10 upgrade help please? http://pastebin.com/bqGjs8LZ
[23:22] <kaushal> mickster04: how do i proceed
[23:22] <ikonia> kaushal: do you have a networking team where you work ?
[23:22] <kaushal> nope
[23:22] <WXZ> mickster04: hmmm... ehow agrees with you
[23:23] <WXZ> I'll try it I guess
[23:23] <Jonii> About partitions
[23:23] <mickster04> kaushal: well p2p is nothing to do with how the network is physially connected
[23:23] <Jonii> I need help
[23:23] <ikonia> kaushal: the p2p link should be set up between networking infrastructure, not the ubuntu machine
[23:23] <mickster04> WXZ: yeah, turn the volumes down at first if you're cautious
[23:23] <Godslastering> about how much ram (estimated) does a ubuntu 10.10 install use, right out of the box?
[23:23] <ikonia> Godslastering: as much as you have
[23:23] <mickster04> Godslastering: it should say on the website
[23:23] <mickster04> !requirements
[23:24] <daniel_tree> denwerko, when I log in I can type normally ...only after a while...this error occurs from nowhere and then all the magic happens :) I cant type correctly..and the infinite messeges in the bus
[23:24] <Jonii> testdisk found all my drives, finally, but now I'm having trouble understanding what does "deleted" "extended" "primary partition" "primary bootable" and such mean?
[23:24] <ikonia> Jonii: ask in ##hardware that's not an ubuntu issue or lesson
[23:24] <Starminn> Godslastering: Mine ran like a dream (compared to Windows XP) on 512MB so it doesn't need much. Now that I have 4 and a half GB, I've never caught it using anything about 800MB.
[23:24] <Godslastering> ikonia: let me rephrase. i'm not talking about requirements, nor am i talking about caching. if i open "system monitor" with 24 gigs of ram, about how much should it be using, by default? (obviously if i open htop and look, it's using a lot much in the kernel for caching).. then again, if i have less than a gig of ram, it runs fine also
[23:24] <Godslastering> Starminn: yes i'm noticing about 800MB, didn't know if that is about what it should be or not
[23:25] <IsmAvatar> Would it be wise to uninstall my proprietary graphics driver to hopefully make the upgrade to 10.10 work?
[23:25] <Noxes> Ikonia, I'm installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.10 now.
[23:25] <ikonia> Godslastering: I know you're not talking about requirements, thats why I said it will use "as much as you have"
[23:25] <denwerko> daniel_tree, googling it with Aspire-5930 and doenst look like somebody solved it...
[23:25] <mickster04> IsmAvatar: it depends what is causing the update to break?
[23:25] <ikonia> IsmAvatar: do you have any 3rd party or external repos enabled ?
[23:25] <denwerko> daniel_tree, sorry, going off. good luck, bye
[23:25] <theborger> mickster04, so i ran sudo apt-get update,  still nuffin
[23:25] <WXZ> mickster04: Speaker output power can be many Watts. That energy has to go somewhere; a resistor burns it as heat. To bring the signal down to microphone levels a lot of Watts may need to be burned.
[23:25] <Godslastering> ikonia: nevermind then, Starminn pretty much answered me.
[23:25] <Starminn> Godslastering: Yeah, I think mine sits at around 300-800 while I'm using it (I multi-task a lot). Even now I'm running a VM and it's using 1004MB. So yeah you're good.
[23:25] <daniel_tree> denwerko, thanks bye

[23:28] <IsmAvatar>   Holding Back xserver-xorg-video-nouveau rather than change xorg-video-abi-8.0
[23:28] <WXZ> mickster04: I know there's a way to mix them in windows, I'm going to see if I can find a non-hardware solution
[23:28] <jfe> is there any program available that would allow me to pipe data to the clipboard?
[23:28] <ikonia> Noxes: ok , lspci is just based on psci-id's so that's not something to worry about
[23:28] <mickster04> WXZ: very good
[23:28] <WXZ> but plugging your output into your mic input would blow your soundcard out (according to that site)
[23:28] <regeya> I have an internal machine where I have phpldapadmin and redmine set up on apache2.  Right now avahi handles dns, so if I point a browser to foo.local dnssd is what handles it.  How would I go about setting it up so that redmine is available at redmine.foo.local and phpldapadmin at ldapadmin.foo.local?
[23:28] <mickster04> WXZ: fine
[23:28] <IsmAvatar> jfe: pastebinit will pipe output to pastebin
[23:29] <Logan_WP> !pastebinit | jfe
[23:29] <ikonia> regeya: just cheat it and put an entry in localhost
[23:29] <Noxes> Ikonia: Well before the wireless card worked, and Lspci always displayed it as something like "Network Controller: Ralink 3090.. etc" now it's just "Network controller: device [d8dc:f8d8]" and the drivers will not work the same anymore.. Soo.. Idk.
[23:29] <ikonia> regeya: in /etc/hosts
[23:29] <regeya> ok
[23:29] <milkmiruku> wondering if anyone can help - i uninstalled the avahi-common or somesuch and now 10.10 won't boot. /var/log/syslog mentiones that cups prestart, gdm main and avahi-daemon get terminated, though avahi-daemon tries to respawn again right after. can i somehow reinstall any missing dependancies, or totally remove avahi from the system?
[23:29] <ikonia> Noxes: possibly the livecd's pci-id's are out of date
[23:30] <jfe> IsmAvatar: thanks
[23:30] <Noxes> Ikonia: It does this after install aswell.. It used to work using this livecd all the time. I just hope someone in this channel can guide me to a possible fix.. I wouldn't care what lspci was saying, aslong as the drivers worked.
[23:31] <theborger> anyone point me to a web page, that says what servers to use for apt-get?
[23:31] <ThRiX> Hi at all
[23:31] <ikonia> Noxes: are the drivers normally supplied from the aditional drivers tool or a manual install ?
[23:31] <ikonia> theborger: ubuntu selects the best servers for you at install time
[23:31] <ikonia> theborger: they should already be setup
[23:31] <Jonii> Dear god thank you everyone! I can now install Ubuntu!
[23:32] <Noxes> Ikonia: manual install.. I've followed the steps the exact same as I have before, when it worked properly.. And I've done it about 100 times in the past day.. Yet they won't work.

[23:32] <syn-ack> err
[23:32] <syn-ack> sorry about that
[23:32] <ikonia> syn-ack: stop it, you've done that gag
[23:32] <ikonia> Noxes: define doesn't work
[23:32] <syn-ack> ikonia hit the wrong key and nuked my response. It was unintentional.
[23:32] <ikonia> syn-ack: not a problem
[23:33] <syn-ack> I was going to say, ikonia: That doesn't mean that the server that were the best at install time are still the best.
[23:33] <Noxes> Ikonia: After install, adding things to blacklist and modules, I reboot.. Nothing has changed.. Clicking on the wireless icon doesn't display any wireless routers, or possible wireless connection. Ifconfig doesn't even display wlan0 or whatever anymore.

[23:33] <mickster04> theborger: apparently xinit is in the main repo, but if you are getting errors, then it seems your seem is more boerked than originally thought, what happened?
[23:33] <ikonia> theborger: can you ping that host ?
[23:34] <Noxes> Ikonia: I don't quite know.. How could I see?

[23:40] <immy> hi
[23:40] <Jonii> But all the graphs seem a bit counter-intuitive
[23:40] <YankDownUnder> d03boy, You should be able to just use: apt-get install mono-apache-server (and all the other bits)
[23:40] <ikonia> theborger: what happens if you do "sudo apt-get update"
[23:40] <mickster04> Jonii: they are quite easy to read, can you screen shot and explain what you don't understand about them?
[23:40] <theborger> ikonia, it erros out
[23:40] <ikonia> the show me the error please.
[23:41] <mickster04> theborger: again that will be a different error so give the example
[23:41] <immy> ive used the disk utility to setup an encrypted partition on an external hard drive for backup. can i find out what settings the encrypted partition was setup with?
[23:41] <theborger> its the same error over and over, one sec
[23:41] <Jonii> mickster04, if I try "Install in parallel", lower graph has this draggable thing that paints the whole thing green if I want to, and color explanations below say orange is the color for Ubuntu partition, and there is no orange :/
[23:41] <mickster04> Jonii: use the manual option
[23:42] <Noxes42> Ikonia: lsmod does not display "rt3390sta" at all.. How do I manually load it?
[23:42] <gsfai> Where can i do a manual configuration of auto-login
[23:42] <theborger> ikonia Err http://security.ubuntu.com maverick-security/multiverse i386 Packages   Unable to connect to security.ubuntu.com:http: [IP: 91.189.92.166 80]

[23:42] <ikonia> theborger: that server is responding
[23:42] <Noxes42> Ikonia: "FATAL: Module rt3390sta not found."
[23:43] <theborger> ikonia, yes i can pink it
[23:43] <theborger> s/pink/ping
[23:43] <Jonii> mickster04, I tried, but "create a new partition" is a bit difficult to understand. What's that option about conjunction point(dunno if I translated that correctly), where you can select /, /tmp, /home etc
[23:43] <ikonia> Noxes42: is the module in the kernel tree ?
[23:43] <ikonia> theborger: so some networking (routing/firewalling) is blocking it on your machine, that's what you need to resolve
[23:43] <neyhay> Can someone tell me how to repair an ext4 file system?  Testdisk results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/569912/
[23:43] <ikonia> theborger: do any other package hosts error, or just security
[23:43] <mickster04> !mountpoint | Jonii
[23:43] <Jonii> Should I make the new partition "primary" or "logical"?
[23:43] <Noxes42> Ikonia: I don't quite know.. I tried "sudo modprobe rt3090sta" and no error came up.. Although it still won't connect.
[23:43] <theborger> ikonia, all of them error
[23:44] <PerfM> iight kids
[23:44] <YankDownUnder> neyhay, fsck.ext4 /dev/sdXX
[23:44] <GI_Jack> ok I created a new user and the new user works just my main account doesnt
[23:44] <mickster04> !partition | Jonii
[23:44] <ikonia> theborger: ok, so there is something wrong with your networking
[23:44] <ikonia> Noxes42: is the module loaded after you modprobed ?
[23:44] <mickster04> Jonii: better?
[23:45] <Noxes42> Ikonia: Yes.
[23:45] <WXZ> does anyone know how to get stereomix
[23:45] <WXZ> with pavucontrol?
[23:45] <ikonia> Noxes42: ok, so the module is loaded, how are you now trying to configure it
[23:45] <mickster04> basically if i understand right, you want to set the mount point as / and the rest should be fine as they are
[23:45] <mickster04> jano: ^^^^
[23:45] <Noxes42> Ikonia: I don't know..
[23:46] <ikonia> Noxes42: you must know how your setting up as you're telling me it fails when you try to connect
[23:46] <bc81> WXZ: i just go to configuration tab and choose analog stereo duplex
[23:46] <WXZ> bc81: configuration tab?
[23:46] <Noxes42> Ikonia: Oh I mean nothing comes up in ifconfig, or when I click the wireless icon..
[23:47] <WXZ> bc81: I think you're like 3 steps ahead of me
[23:47] <Noxes42> Ikonia: It's like there isn't even a wireless driver/card installed..
[23:47] <ikonia> Noxes42: show me the output of "sudo ifconfig -a" please in a pastebin
[23:47] <neyhay> YankDownUnder: output gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/570829/
[23:47] <bc81> WXZ: oh, well run pavucontrol, go to configuration tab, choose stereo
[23:48] <Jonii> So, basically, I need to create three different partitions
[23:49] <itaylor57> 2usagi99
[23:49] <Noxes42> Ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/570830/
[23:49] <WXZ> bc81: yeah, I've got stereo duplex on as well
[23:49] <WXZ> but it's not recording the output
[23:49] <mickster04> Jonii: optimally, but you may not need a swap drive, and you can keep the rest in / anyway
[23:49] <YankDownUnder> neyhay, Um...and you've tried also running (as root) fsck.ext4 -p -y -f /dev/sdb1
[23:49] <PhoenixSTF> Hi guys, i goota a problem with VT6421 controler board taht gives me trouble with WD HDD and Samsung, strangedly i got another one with the same chip that doesnt give me any kind of trouble, I already tried modprobe sata_via, but no luck errors keep coming, is there any fix for the kernel?
[23:49] <ikonia> Noxes42: is the wirless card actually enabled on the kill switch, does the syslog show anything on it ?
[23:49] <bc81> WXZ: what are you recording with
[23:49] <mmka> hi, after mounting the root file system I have got a problem "udev failed to create queue file", then the system stops there
[23:49] <Noxes42> ikonia: What do you mean?
[23:49] <WXZ> I'm not recording right now, just in puvacontrol
[23:49] <Jonii> mickster04, err, now I'm confused
[23:50] <WXZ> the bar which shows intensity isn't moving
[23:50] <ikonia> Noxes42: exactly what I've just said
[23:50] <mickster04> Jonii: well what three partitions do you think you need?
[23:50] <Noxes42> ikonia: What do you mean
[23:50] <ikonia> Noxes42: exactly what I've just said
[23:50] <Noxes42> ikonia: Sorry, uhmm.
[23:50] <Jonii> Swap, root, home?
[23:50] <Noxes42> ikonia: There's no "killswitch" for the wireless card on this pc.
[23:50] <Geo> there is a channel for c++ issues
[23:50] <ikonia> Noxes42: 1.) is the wirless card physically enable, most laptops have a kill switch 2.) does the syslog show anything on the card
[23:51] <ikonia> Geo: yes
[23:51] <Jonii> But I don't know how large I should make these partitions
[23:51] <bc81> WXZ: what program is making sound at the moment?
[23:51] <Noxes42> ikonia: It's a desktop.
[23:51] <Jonii> Swap should be double my RAM, right? But I don't know how much RAM I have
[23:51] <Geo> @ikonia can u tell me the name?
[23:51] <WXZ> bc81: vlc
[23:51] <ikonia> Noxes42: that doesn't change what I've just said
[23:51] <mickster04> Jonii: how much ram do you have, you may not need swap, root and home can be just made into one, if you don't specifiy a home partition, it goes under root
[23:51] <YankDownUnder> Finding RAM: free -m
[23:51] <Jonii> Root should be 8GB, but is there a reason to make it larger?
[23:51] <Noxes42> ikonia: There's no "killswitch" on it, what so ever.
[23:52] <mickster04> Jonii: run system monitor, it tells you in there
[23:52] <ikonia> Noxes42: ok, so move onto the next thing I said
[23:52] <Noxes42> ikonia: Idk how to view the syslog. o.e
[23:52] <neyhay> YankDownUnder: not yet, reading fsck man pages
[23:52] <mickster04> Jonii: if you just make one partition with the whole space you have set aside for ubuntu, make it root, everything comes under there (except swap, but you might not need it)_
[23:52] <YankDownUnder> neyhay, You're sure the partition is ext4, ya?
[23:53] <bc81> WXZ: so , you hear sound but don't see the meter moving?  i just joined, so you'll need to give more details if possible
[23:53] <ikonia> Noxes42: it's /var/log/messages
[23:53] <Jonii> mickster04, how do I know if I need it?
[23:53] <WXZ> bc81: I hear sound, and I see the output meter moving, but I don't see the input meter moving
[23:53] <Guest93163> hello, can anybody help me with regard to openssh behind a NAT enabled router
[23:53] <WXZ> bc81: nvm, there is no input meter
[23:53] <bc81> WXZ: thats for microphones and whatnot
[23:53] <Noxes42> ikonia: What do i search for?
[23:54] <Jonii> I have 3,6GB of RAM
[23:54] <mickster04> Jonii: well how much ram do you have? if it's great than 1GB I would argue you don't need it, UNLESS you want to be able to hybernate
[23:54] <ikonia> Noxes42: read through it, see if it mentions your card, networking issues, your cards device, the kernel modules
[23:54] <mickster04> Jonii: in which case you should get by fine without swap
[23:54] <mickster04> !swap > Jonii
[23:54] <WXZ> bc81: I know, I'm trying to get what I'm hearing on the desktop be sent to the mic input
[23:54] <g_0_0> Guest93163, what is the problem?
[23:54] <WXZ> bc81: kind of mimic like I have a mic, and I'm putting it up to my stereo
[23:55] <Guest93163> i set up port triggering on 5900 to this machine, ive set up and are running openssh, i try to connect from my phone through androidvnc (it worked once) but now it says authentication failed
[23:55] <Noxes42> ikonia: Nothing.
[23:55] <mickster04> Jonii: so just set the one partition as root (/) and just press next?
[23:56] <ikonia> Noxes42: can you confirm the hardwares working within windows (I thought you said you where dual booting earlier, I could be wrong)
[23:56] <ikonia> Guest93163: androidvnc is not ssh
[23:56] <g_0_0> Guest93163, you're trying to connect to a home server?
[23:56] <Noxes42> ikonia: I am not dual booting, no.
[23:56] <drc> Jonii: personally, I do swap = ram (depends on the space available) and everything else to / (no separate / and home). I think this is what mickster04 is trying to tell you also (not to put words in his mouth)
[23:56] <Guest93163> that explains that... i also tried connectbot via ssh protocol i got client terminated connection
[23:57] <WXZ> bc81: ??
[23:57] <mickster04> drc: yup
[23:57] <ikonia> Noxes42: Hmmm, there may actually be a hardware error there if it's not being detected correctly any more
[23:57] <ikonia> Noxes42: and it's not being mentioned in the syslog
[23:57] <Jonii> mickster04, and I should use ext3, not ext4?
[23:57] <mickster04> Jonii: uhm i think ext4 is safe by now?
[23:57] <Guest93163> im trying to get commandline access to the machine to remote run scripts and to scp files to my phone
[23:57] <mickster04> Jonii: i use ext4
[23:57] <neyhay> YankDownUnder: fairly positive it was ext4.  slight possibility it was ext 3
[23:58] <ikonia> Guest93163: so ssh in on port 22
[23:58] <GI_Jack> fixed one corrupted file
[23:58] <geekbri> Guest93163: i use connectbot on my phone... if youre using SSH keys make sure on the key screen you have the one you want to use set to unlocked
[23:58] <Guest93163> you know... i think i just realised my problem
[23:58] <Noxes42> ikonia: After a few hours of the annoying errors, I just popped open the box, carefully removed the card, used a dust cleaner can thing, and replaced it.. And it still displayed the wrong device, along with not working.
[23:58] <Jonii> And not make root primary but logical? I have no idea what difference do these changes make
[23:58] <Guest93163> im triggering 5900 for vnc not 22 for ssh
[23:58] <ikonia> Noxes42: a clean doesn't mean it's working
[23:58] <Noxes42> ikonia: More than likely it is a hardware issue, sadly.
[23:58] <mickster04> Jonii: just leave those settings as they are
[23:58] <Guest93163> let me just check if i forward to 22
[23:58] <mickster04> it'll most likely work as it is
[23:58] <ikonia> Noxes42: if it used to display the correct info, and not now, it's not autoloading the moudle, and it doesn't see the card once the module is loaded and there is no mention in the syslog, it looks bad
[23:59] <YankDownUnder> neyhay, What ya get when ya "cat /etc/fstab" => view the FS used for sdb1 ?
[23:59] <Jonii> But, I guess I want to make swap partition. Like, it could be useful, and it doesn't cause me any harm to have it, right?
[23:59] <mickster04> Jonii: correct
