[00:00] <mr_gnu> Jonii: I don't have a swap since I have 8 gigs of ram. But that's my preference.
[00:00] <mickster04> mr_gnu: well if you wanna use hybernate that won't help any
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> Jonii: you need swap for hibernate
[00:00] <Noxes42> ikonia: Could it possibly be the PCI slot itself? If I were to move the card to another slot, would that make a difference?
[00:00] <Guest93163> ok so i can ssh in but only as root
[00:00] <mr_gnu> mickster04: I never hibernate lol.
[00:00] <mickster04> Jonii: but if you don't mind just using sleep, then you don't really need it :p
[00:00] <Guest93163> is that normal?
[00:00] <mickster04> mr_gnu: me neither
[00:00] <geekbri> Jonii: the only harm it causes is not having that space available as normal storage.... :)
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: me neither
[00:01] <Jonii> geekbri, well, I do have more than enough space
[00:01] <mickster04> Guest93163: depends if you are doing root@server
[00:01] <immy> how can i delete an encrypted partition created with disk utility?
[00:01] <mickster04> Jonii: in which case make a swap partition
[00:01] <Guest93163> i tried dave@server and got host terminated
[00:01] <drc> mr_gnu: but jonii is from .fi and it gets cold there in the winter
[00:01] <mickster04> Guest93163: is dave an account on the server?
[00:02] <Guest93163> yes
[00:02] <Geo> can someone tell me a c++ help channel?
[00:02] <sparky44> i need to organize music on my walkman on ubuntu 10.10 whats the best to use
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> Geo: #c++ or #programming
[00:02] <sparky44> what program is best to use i mean
[00:02] <mickster04> sparky44: banshee and ryhtm box both have that ability i believe
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> sparky44: there is no best
[00:02] <mickster04> !best | sparky44
[00:02] <neyhay> YankDownUnder: It doesn't seem to want to mount.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/570835/
[00:02] <Geo> ActionPaesnip thx
[00:02] <PhoenixSTF> How do I apply a patch to the lucid kernel? do i Have to recompile?
[00:02] <mr_gnu> drc: lol
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> !patch
[00:03] <maco> PhoenixSTF: yes
[00:03] <makefile> !path
[00:03] <YankDownUnder> neyhay, What happens when you try to manually mount the /dev/sdb1 mate?
[00:04] <Jonii> And, help page says I should use ext3, but it's good to use ext4?
[00:04] <mickster04> Jonii: just use ext4
[00:04] <Jonii> Ok
[00:04] <mickster04> Jonii: that help page may be slighty behind...:p
[00:04] <mickster04> Jonii: ext4 is still relatively new
[00:04] <functor> How do I blacklist the rt2860 mod(s) in 10.10 netbook in order to use the official one?
[00:05] <functor> it seems lsmod has a bunch of them
[00:05] <mickster04> !blacklist > functor
[00:05] <PhoenixSTF> maco: great how about upgrading lucid server kernel to 2.6.32-25, how do i do that?
[00:05] <immy> how can i delete a "dm-X" device - n is an integer
[00:05] <Jonii> So, I'm making root(that is, "/" as mount point), but why is it logical and not primary? Logical seems less worthy than primary, and my windows partitions are primary
[00:06] <Jonii> Does this matter at all?
[00:06] <sparky44> mickster04 thanks and sorry for saying best meant had thoes capabilities
[00:06] <immy> can i just go into /dev and sudo rm?
[00:06] <mickster04> Jonii: don't worry bout it
[00:06] <functor> mickster04: rather, "which ones" should i blacklist
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> functor: just add a new .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d with a .conf extension wuth the words:  blacklist modulename      in the file
[00:06] <functor> i know how blackist works
[00:06] <maco> PhoenixSTF: -25 is no longer in the repos. it's old. bugfixes have pushed it up to -28
[00:06] <functor> there is rt2800lib and sta, but the official one is different
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> functor: just blacklist what you don't want
[00:07] <Jonii> So I select logical, and choose the amount of memory as installation program suggested, and use ext4
[00:07] <Guest93163> does anyone know the default password for openssh
[00:07] <maco> PhoenixSTF: you could dig it up on launchpad.net if you /really/ want
[00:07] <jrib> Guest93163: there isn't such a thing
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: there isn;t one
[00:07] <Guest93163> crap
[00:07] <mr_gnu> Jonii: You really only need to use logical if you are seperating your "/" partitions
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: you use YOUR account to connect
[00:07] <mickster04> Jonii: well you shouldn't need to select either logical or primary, it should have been chosen for you?
[00:07] <rww> Guest93163: openssh uses your user account passwords for authentication
[00:07] <Jonii> mickster04, yeah, it's autoselected as logical
[00:07] <Guest93163> then why if i try to login as root@server and i give the password i use for sudo it fails authentication
[00:07] <KB1JWQ> rww: Or ssh keypairs.
[00:08] <maco> Guest93163: becauase that's your user's password, not root's
[00:08] <maco> Guest93163: root has no password
[00:08] <Guest93163> huh...
[00:08] <maco> Guest93163: use your username
[00:08] <mickster04> Guest93163: cos is shouldbe that sudo isn't an account on the server
[00:08] <Jonii> But this seems a bit weird
[00:08] <PhoenixSTF> maco: yes well i am talking about lucid server, im how can i upgrade the kernel on it? apt-get upgrade wont go above 2.6.32-21
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: there is no root pass, that's why. Login as your own user
[00:08] <Jonii> But, I select logical, and it's all good, right?
[00:08] <maco> PhoenixSTF: do you not have the security or updates repositories enabled?
[00:08] <mickster04> Jonii: if that is what is defaulted yes
[00:08] <maco> PhoenixSTF: check your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:08] <PhoenixSTF> maco: never mixed on sources....
[00:09] <neyhay> YankDownUnder: tried both ext3 and 4  http://paste.ubuntu.com/570841/
[00:09] <pareli> are there any other way to do so new windows get centered other than using compiz?
[00:09] <Guest93163> aha!
[00:09] <Guest93163> geniuses the lot of ya
[00:09] <jrib> pareli: you could use devilspie
[00:09] <jrib> !devilspie | pareli
[00:09] <mickster04> bbiab
[00:10] <PhoenixSTF> maco: i have all security updates and repositories enable, on apt-get upgrade is says some have been keeped back
[00:10] <Guest93163> thanks alot then fellas/lasses im off to play with me ssh terminal
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: the sooner you forget about root, the better dude
[00:10] <Guest93163> i dont know why i tried root
[00:10] <Guest93163> frustration i imagine
[00:10] <maco> PhoenixSTF: and lists the kernels specifically?
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: if you connect with:  ssh -X name@server   you can use X forwarded apps :)
[00:10] <pareli> ubottu: so no other way than using 3rd party software?
[00:11] <PhoenixSTF> maco: its syas linux generic pae
[00:11] <mr_gnu> Is the "auto-complete" feature to search the repos in apt-get a some what new feature/patch? I don't remember it in the past.
[00:11] <Jonii> "Make sure you've a root and swap partition and that your windows partition has a mount point so you can access it."
[00:11] <Guest93163> im using an android phone as the client so i dunno about that
[00:11] <Jonii> How do I do this? Does doing this risk breaking my windows?
[00:11] <maco> PhoenixSTF: and if you run "sudo apt-get update" that doesnt change anything?
[00:11] <PhoenixSTF> nop
[00:11] <PhoenixSTF> maco : The following packages have been kept back:
[00:11] <PhoenixSTF>   linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae
[00:11] <Guest93163> well im off to play anyway. thanks guys
[00:11] <jrib> pareli: well presumably you're asking how to do in metacity since you specified wanting to avoid compiz, and metacity is meant to be a very straight-forward window manager.  So yes, you need to use something like devilspie
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> pareli: http://jetpackweb.com/blog/2009/08/06/ubuntu-tip-force-new-windows-to-open-centered-on-the-desktop/
[00:13] <Jonii> Like, how do I make sure windows partition has a mount point?
[00:13] <mr_gnu> Good ol' windows, gotta love the dual boot. ^_~
[00:14] <toastyjustice> I am trying to run a couple commands in the background using "at now", but nothing seems to be happening, nor is a job created, maybe I am doing something wrong?
[00:14] <PhoenixSTF> maco : is it on backports?
[00:15] <gr8Q> anyone run playonlinux here
[00:15] <jrib> toastyjustice: we can only know if you tell us what you are doing
[00:15] <jrib> gr8Q: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[00:15] <Jonii> Windows partition, mount point?
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> toastyjustice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV   has an example of 'at' being used at the bottom
[00:15] <toastyjustice> Like: at now; touch /tmp/test;
[00:15] <nRy> does anyone know I can search if my system has a driver named: ds9490r
[00:15] <toastyjustice> Doesn't create the file
[00:16] <nRy> I need to find out if Ubuntu ships with this driver and if so if I can safely remove it
[00:16] <jrib> toastyjustice: you run at now, you get a new line, you type "touch /tmp/test", you press enter, you press ctrl-d
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> nRy: try:  sudo modprobe ds9490r      if you get no error, it exists
[00:17] <kj6lxu> my organizations email group has huge treads that go back and forth. not every one wants so much email. is there a way to have temporary email groups people can sign up for so thay that the email tread ????
[00:17] <pareli> can i turn off the capabilities to use mouse in a particular terminal?
[00:17] <toastyjustice> Jrib: Perfect, thanks! I knew it had to be the exit keystroke I was messing up
[00:18] <jrib> pareli: no idea, but I'm curious as to why?
[00:18] <entity> Hi guys. I wanna grow my ubuntu partition.
[00:18] <jrib> toastyjustice: at reads jobs from stdin (that's why it prompts you like that).  You could also do something like: echo touch /tmp/test | at now
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> entity: do it in live CD environment
[00:19] <toastyjustice> Oh yeah, that pipe uses the prior command as input, right?
[00:19] <pareli> jrib: i have a transparent terminal in the upper left corner of my desktop, and for more desktop intergration i was thinking of turning of the usage of mouse in that terminal
[00:19] <entity> fabulous.
[00:19] <jrib> toastyjustice: command1 | command2 sends stdout from command1 to stdin of command2
[00:20] <snowrichard> hello
[00:20] <toastyjustice> Gotcha, awesome.
[00:20] <snowrichard> just got hooked up to hughes net satellite internet today
[00:20] <nRy> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/96BuLHmJ
[00:20] <entity> Ahh ActionParsnip. I remember you. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll get on that.
[00:20] <jrib> pareli: so you'd want it to sort of pass through?  What do you want it to do when you right click on it?   Act like nothing happened, or act like you right clicked on the desktop?
[00:21] <th0r> pareli: depending on what is displayed in the terminal you might be better served to use something like conky
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> nRy: if you are root, you don't need sudo
[00:21] <voglster> any experts on routing here?
[00:21] <snowrichard> voip apps like paltalk or skype seem to have a little trouble with the audio streaming though
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> voglster: in what sense
[00:22] <nRy> ok, but does this mean the driver is not present?
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> nRy: you should also run:   mv /etc/modprobe.d/virtualgl /etc/modprobe.d/virtualgl.conf   to supress that message
[00:22] <pareli> jrib: i want so nothing happens when i click on it, just so when mouseover theres no way to click on the terimnal, the only way i want to use it is by: alt&tab
[00:22] <kj6lxu> my organizations email group has huge treads that go back and forth. not every one wants so much email. is there a way to have temporary email groups people can sign up for so thay that the email tread ????
[00:22] <avis-> snow erle
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> nRy: but no the driver doesn't exist
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> voglster: I can explain spanning tree and OSPF of you like but those are offtopic here
[00:23] <voglster> network A attached to internet 192.168.0.0/24, network B attached to network A through an ubuntu linux box with 2 nics in it... network B 192.168.250.0... the ubuntu linux box is set to ip_forward and i have internet access on netwrok B
[00:23] <jrib> pareli: oh I see, you don't want the window to get selected then.  I don't know, but have you looked at options like tilda or yakuake instead?
[00:23] <pareli> th0r: i am using conky, the terminal is not for displaying anything
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> voglster: ok, what addressing does network B use?
[00:24] <luqui> Hi, my computer thinks its battery is low when it's not.  Can i tell it not to take any action when it detects the battery is critically low?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> voglster: ok, just read it
[00:24] <voglster> ActionParsnip, /24 192.168.250.0/24
[00:24] <Jonii> Now, when I install, this setup will remember that it's dual boot, and doesn't destroy my windows loader?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> !ics | voglster
[00:24] <Firefishe> I'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  I currently have:  OpenOffice.org 3.2.1   –   OOO320m19 (Build:9505)  –   ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Ubuntu package 1:3.2.1-6ubuntu2~10.04.1  --  I've downloaded and uncompressed this file:  OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz  --  What will happen if I run the `update' command from within the top-level directory?
[00:25] <pareli> jrib: i'l check into that, right now im using xfce4-terminal as the desktop terminal, the terminal itself can be configured to be totaly transparent + noborders, and so on.
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, internet works fine, but noting in network B can access resources in network A
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Jonii: grub2 will overwrite the windows loader and will manage the dual boot for you entirely
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, but everything in network A can access network B resources.. http, ssh, rdp etc...
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> voglster: can you ping the IP addresses in LAN A from LAN B
[00:25] <Jonii> ActionParsnip, sounds good enough
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, and I can both ways
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, ping*
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> voglster: and can you ping names?
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, yup.. dns works fine
[00:26] <shigutso> I have a 1GB flashdrive with badblocks. Is there any Linux command to fix that? Or at least hide the badblocks?
[00:26] <jason__> guys, do i need a chromium apparmor profile? or it's ok the way as it is?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> voglster: ok, what resources areyou trying to access
[00:26] <voglster> ActionParsnip, http, ssh, anything really...
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> jason__: seems fine here
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> voglster: are you using the local accounts when you SSH or do you have a domain controller?
[00:27] <jason__> ActionParnship, thx :-)
[00:27] <voglster> ActionParsnip, i can access those resources on network A's router from network B (i think but id need to verify) but i cannot get to a webserver located somewhere in network A
[00:27] <voglster> ActionParsnip, Local
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> voglster: if you can ping the IP then you shouold be able to connect to the services on the system as the logical connection is present
[00:28] <voglster> ActionParsnip, my thoughts exactly ;-)
[00:28] <pareli> jrib: by tilda and yakuka you mean drop-down terminal? for that i'm using guake-terminal
[00:28] <voglster> ActionParsnip, guessing its a firewall issue with network A's default gateway
[00:28] <jrib> pareli: yeah
[00:28] <nRy> <ActionParsnip: is that message going to possibly cause any problems on the system?
[00:28] <pareli> jrib: ok, thanks but il see
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> nRy: it means that the file with the bad name isn't being processed, so whatever you added in there isn't being used
[00:29] <pareli> jrib: into the posibilities on writing your own script for the window not to be selected by mouse
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> voglster: have you setup the forwarding of the ports used by the other protocols to go to the other LAN, kinda like an internal port forward
[00:30] <voglster> ActionParsnip, nope... in fact the ubuntu box has a blank firewall...
[00:30] <voglster> ActionParsnip, just accept all
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> voglster: strange
[00:31] <voglster> ActionParsnip, exactly
[00:31] <Jeruvy> voglster: its true, but you can quickly add a deny all rule and then add from there.
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> voglster: maybe you need a rule to push packets  destined to a certain subnet mask down the relevant interface
[00:32] <voglster> ActionParsnip, then why is ping working? hehe
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> voglster: not sure, maybe icmp is handled automagically
[00:33] <Bing0> Hi. Ubuntu 10.10.  What is the best way to share files between two Ubuntu machines?  I tried SSH but the overhead on the CPU is too high. This is LAN traffic so security isn't important for this.  Thanks!
[00:33] <aeon-ltd> !samba | Bing0
[00:33] <voglster> Bing0, samba?
[00:33] <avis-> su do
[00:33] <voglster> ActionParsnip, i like that... automagically
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: samba is quick and dirty and will accommodate windows clients should you get any
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> voglster: I'd look at the route table of the central PC to make sure it smells right.
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: its not the best way, as a best way doesn't exist
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: you could setup tftp and it will be quick :)
[00:35] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, will do
[00:35] <harold> I need help with swap area. i am pretty novice at this. I have x64 version of maverick. 3gigs ram. do i need swap area?? I allocated free space on HDD of about 20 gigs to swap when i installed.
[00:36] <nRy> <ActionParsnip: ah! Thanks for the tip that sounds like it might be important since our system is based on VirtualGL
[00:36] <harold> I need help with swap area. i am pretty novice at this. I have x64 version of maverick. 3gigs ram. do i need swap area?? I allocated free space on HDD of about 20 gigs to swap when i installed.
[00:36] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, only 2 routes: 192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1      192.168.250.0   *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0   plus a default
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> harold: if you want hibernate then you'll need swap, or if you expect to exhuast your RAM (Large image manipulation or video edittng will do that), You will need 3Gb RAM at least
[00:37] <drc> harold: conventional wisdom say swap = ram
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> voglster_: can you pastebin that please, irc is killing the formatting
[00:38] <voglster_> harold, you dont "need" swap if you never go over 3 gigs of ram but thats a BAAAD thing.. if you EVER do... system will panic and lock
[00:38] <harold> but I allocated free space of HDD to swap. I have other partitions which are logical not primary. can i change swap area to them?? Like windows uses pagefile in other partitions???
[00:38] <aeon-ltd> harold: i suggest you keep 1gb of swap for scratch space, but if you use hibernate i'd allocate more
[00:38] <davew> hello world
[00:38] <cruzj> any yahoo for ubuntu
[00:39] <WeThePeople> is it possible to hack a WinXp admin password from ubuntu?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> cruzj: yahoo offer a tonne of services, which do you mean
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: yes
[00:39] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/EnDBUrDr
[00:39] <cruzj> yahoo native app for linux
[00:39] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip, would you show me how?
[00:39] <harold> but I allocated free space of HDD to swap. I have other partitions which are logical not primary. can i change swap area to them?? Like windows uses pagefile in other partitions???
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/resetwindowspassword/
[00:39] <Bing0> ActionParsnip, sorry for the delay.  I was aware of Samba but I probably won't need Windows machines.  Does Samba have much overhead(well versus SSH)?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: that's how "secure" your OS is
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: no, samba is pretty fast and light on CPU
[00:40] <Bing0> ok
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> !info chntpw
[00:40] <dostoj> how can i make changes in configuration editor permanent? in detail: i want the button layout to be like this: close,minimize,maximize:menu. However, everytime I change my system theme, the buttons get reset to the "normal" order, where they appear on the right top of the title bar. I tried both set as default and set mandatory but both didnt help
[00:40] <daniel_tree> how long should it take to compile the linux kernel ???
[00:40] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, just for good measure... iptables -L
[00:40] <harold> but I allocated free space of HDD to swap. I have other partitions which are logical not primary. can i change swap area to them?? Like windows uses pagefile in other partitions???
[00:40] <Bing0> ActionParsnip, i did consider samba but figured i'd ask in here.  side-question.  When I click connect to server(from task bar) FTP is a choice.  is that as efficient as browsing for files?
[00:40] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/aeHc44rV
[00:40] <Bing0> ActionParsnip, or should I just try it and see? :)
[00:41] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: a long time, on the order of hours
[00:41] <voglster_> Bing0, other options could be nfs?
[00:41] <harold> help here too please
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: sure, it uses 2 ports so is wasteful that way but ftp is light
[00:41] <daniel_tree> like 2 or 3 or more ?
[00:41] <Bing0> ok thanks
[00:42] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: I guess it depends on how fast a cpu you have
[00:42] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, I fallow this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> voglster_: I believe you need a route going the other way from the route output you said
[00:42] <blackstar> anyone know how can i enable lucid, and maverick to delete my tmp folder, at boot or shutdown, please?
[00:43] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, do u think is it necesary to do the last part "using the ubuntu kernel configuration ??
[00:43] <harold> but I allocated free space of HDD to swap. I have other partitions which are logical not primary. can i change swap area to them?? Like windows uses pagefile in other partitions???
[00:43] <Jordan_U> Sakuya: What problem are you having specifically with SP1 and grub?
[00:43] <harold> guys swap area help please...
[00:43] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: I guess not, what are you trying to do?
[00:44] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip, do you think using knoppix will work instead of using 10.04 live cd
[00:44] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, I want to upgrade the kernel.. I have an annoing bug ..hope it will get fixed this way
[00:45] <davew> Explain in details how you would modify the system-level Bash configuration files to log the login / logout of every single user on your Linux box.
[00:45] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: there is the mainline kernel ppa, you can get any kernel just without ubuntu patches
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: aslong as you can get that package in, the ultimate boot cd has it too
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> blackstar: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/unofficial_ubuntu_starter_guide/index_168.html
[00:45] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: To be fair, it's just as easy if not easier to reset your Ubuntu password if you have physical access.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> blackstar: looks ok but I havent used it
[00:45] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, what do you mean?
[00:45] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, what ppa ??
[00:45] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: mainline kernel
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: root pass is a little harder ;)
[00:46] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, can u give me some more details pls ?? i dont understand
[00:47] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, where can I get this ppa from ?
[00:47] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: No, it's not. But this is getting offtopic.
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: aye
[00:47] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/    download and install the ones you want
[00:48] <bc81> dostoj: i dont know of a way to make it permanent, so maybe create a script that you can execute to easily put them back
[00:48] <blackstar> thanks Action
[00:48] <davew> Explain in details how you would modify the system-level Bash configuration files to log the login / logout of every single user on your Linux box. can anyone answer this
[00:48] <sasy360> guys i'm trying to compile a software and it needs a package but it's packaged with a little different in title so it could not find it
[00:49] <pareli> i cant't seem to open gconf-conf, isn't gconf-conf standard on gnome?
[00:49] <Sakuya> Jordan_U:  this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproSP/thread/9083e953-f06c-4041-8977-115235359e23
[00:49] <Zoso> hey does anyone know where to point me to a chat about LDAP/SAMBA
[00:49] <allisonvoll> sasy360: what is the package?
[00:49] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, should I cancel compiling the kernel ??and try this ppa method ?? or would it take as long ?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> pareli: gconf-editor do you mean?
[00:49] <Roman34> Every 60 seconds (exactly) the sound goes mute if I use build in loudspeaker but never happens with headphones (works just fine) on Ubuntu 10.10, any clue?
[00:49] <shcherbak> pareli: gconf-editor ?
[00:49] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip, LOL, this is so easy!!
[00:50] <bc81> dostoj: something like this: http://pastebin.com/mRwALAuV   (make executable, click it when you wan the button layout back)
[00:50] <blackstar> ActionParsnip .. the files does not exist on lucid or maverick
[00:50] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: the ppa would only take a few minutes, the other a few hours.  It is allot quicker.  You should be able to try and install some of the ppa kernels while the compile is running
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: yeah, its good for helping folks who forget their admin pass :)
[00:50] <sasy360> allisonvoll: actually i'm on sabayon. trying to compile midori and it needs valac but it's packaged as vala
[00:51] <dostoj> bc81, thanks, i will try that
[00:51] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, is it ok if I install the latest one v.26.38 -rc6 natty on 10.10 ?
[00:51] <allisonvoll> sasy360: you can do # apt-cache search valac
[00:51] <ChogyDan> ya
[00:51] <pareli> ActionParsnip: gconf-editor is that the gnome registry editor?
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> blackstar: it assumes server which runs syslogd
[00:52] <pareli> ActionParsnip: that did the trick
[00:52] <allisonvoll> sasy360: if you want to compile by hand, probably you will need the -dev package with contains librarys and headers files
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> pareli: its the gnome settings editor, its similar to the windows registry but isnt nearly as sensitive
[00:52] <blackstar> ok, how about and a desktop can  that be enable also?
[00:53] <nRy> actionparsnip: http://pastebin.com/sWUJu6vg
[00:53] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, only the image and the headers ?? or should I download all the files ???
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> blackstar: if you add the line to one of the stop commands in the system it will work, or make your own init.d script and have the shutdown stuff call it
[00:54] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: yeah, image and headers
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> nRy: use tab to complete the filenames
[00:54] <blackstar> ok cool
[00:54] <tripelbaby> I want to delete a lot and rewrite the rest to make all the files fit in snugly. I want to partition my HD, err repartition. Does this make sense? --- oops, doing Properties on my 1T drive does not reveal how full it is. I should Know How to find out. (I did places computer r-click on the drive)
[00:54] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: image, headers, and headers_all
[00:54] <Roman34> Can I get some help please: Every 60 seconds (exactly) the sound goes mute if I use build in loudspeaker but never happens with headphones (works just fine) on Ubuntu 10.10, any clue?
[00:54] <Jordan_U> Sakuya: Interesting, thanks for the link. You can re-install grub from a liveCD/USB or even install grub to a CD/USB so that it doesn't need to be in the mbr if you'd like to try to work around the problem. It is truly surprising though.
[00:55] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, linux-headers-2.6.38-020638rc6_2.6.38-020638rc6.201102220910_all.deb this one  too ??

[00:56] <StoqLive> hi
[00:56] <Bing0> hi
[00:57] <StoqLive> i'm using a usb stick...my PC got a kernel panic
[00:57] <nRy> ActionParsnip: that seemed to work now
[00:57] <nRy> went back to command line
[00:57] <StoqLive> anyone can help me?what should i do in this case
[00:57] <StoqLive> ?
[00:58] <mcnellis> I'm trying to compile a program in 32bit mode on my 64 bit machine but I'm getting: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/libstdc++.so when searching for -lstdc++
[00:58] <StoqLive> 8.244756 kernel panic not syncing
[00:58] <stanman246> is it possible to create multiple ssh keys?
[00:58] <mcnellis> I just installed libc6-dev-i386 package
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> nRy: cool
[00:59] <StoqLive> the  procblem occur after try to install a app called basket no pad
[00:59] <StoqLive> note pad
[01:00] <StoqLive> so the apps  not start very much  and i got 8.244756 kernel panic not syncing
[01:00] <sasy360> damn i'm so noob on irc :( how can i reply?
[01:00] <bc81> Roman34: laptop or desktop?  battery or A/C power?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> mcnellis: grab the 32bit deb for libstdc++6-4.4-dev  and extract it, then copy libstdc++.so to /usr/lib32
[01:00] <allisonvoll> StoqLive: you try to select an prior kernel in grub menu?
[01:01] <StoqLive> allisonvoll yes, i tried but all kernel show the same problem
[01:01] <Roman34> bc81.... laptop HP6510
[01:01] <StoqLive> allisonvoll i tried with nrecovery mode too
[01:01] <mcnellis> thanks for the tip ActionParsnip will try now
[01:01] <Roman34> both battery or power
[01:01] <StoqLive> allisonvoll show me /script/local-bottom ...done
[01:02] <mickster04> sasy360: reply to what? usually you just type?
[01:02] <StoqLive> allisonvoll /script/init-bottom ...done
[01:02] <Paddy_NI> How do I install Joomla locally on this laptop, I have already installed "apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin php5" via apt and I have downloaded the "Joomla_1.6.0-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz" to my downloads folder... what must I do next?
[01:02] <Paddy_NI> The read me makes little sense
[01:02] <allisonvoll> StoqLive i suggest to enter in mono user mode, and them disable/remove the app module you had installed
[01:02] <Roman34> when i chnage and uncheck mute after exactly 60 seconds chages to mute if using default loudpeaker
[01:02] <StoqLive> /sbin/init : no such file or directory...after it 8.244756 kernel panic not syncing
[01:02] <mcnellis> should I grab the .a too ActionParsnip ?
[01:03] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: you should learn to read the read me:p this is ubuntu help, not lamp or joomla?
[01:03] <StoqLive> what key i have to type to enter in this mode?
[01:03] <ruffdog> Paddy_NI, did you try dpkg -install [packagename] ?
[01:03] <sasy360> mickster04: i'm using xchat , i see you type nick name with : it is not a reply?
[01:03] <StoqLive> or i can remove it using my usb stick or only inside system?
[01:03] <Roman34> bc81: when i change and uncheck mute after exactly 60 seconds changes to mute if using default loudspeaker
[01:03] <allisonvoll> StoqLive you chose kernel with (single user mode) in grub menu
[01:03] <Paddy_NI> mickster04: yeah your right I was not thinking lol, ask in the correct channel would help :)
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> mcnellis: if its required, yes
[01:04] <mickster04> sasy360: when i press tab it auto completes your nick and adds : at the end, it is unnecessary
[01:04] <Paddy_NI> ruffdog: no I installed apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin php5 via apt
[01:04] <Pete_> Um does any one no how to connect a laptop to ps3 using a crossover cable?
[01:04] <mickster04> sasy360: just using someones nick is enough for it to be highlighted to them, no extra symbols needed
[01:04] <daniel> the theme restored to the default theme when I startup ...to restore it back I have to log out and log in again...any ideas how can I fix that ?
[01:04] <Paddy_NI> ruffdog: and there is no joomla .deb afaik :)
[01:04] <bc81> Roman34: it happens when using a specific audio application, or no matter?
[01:05] <sasy360> mickster04: that worked, thanks :)
[01:05] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: i assume the apache install worked? (localhost in browser should show something)
[01:05] <mickster04> sasy360: yeah tab complete is awesome
[01:05] <mickster04> !tab > sasy360
[01:05] <Paddy_NI> mickster04: Yep it says it works
[01:05] <StoqLive> ok..edit the grub menu and put the "S " or the word single in the kernel line
[01:05] <Roman34> no matter.... the light of mute is on I push it and 60 secs later it comes back
[01:05] <Paddy_NI> mickster04: but no content
[01:05] <StoqLive> i'll try now
[01:05] <StoqLive> i'll right back
[01:06] <Roman34> I'm not alone with this problem on forums and no solution for moment
[01:06] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: thats fine then, at least you have apache up and running
[01:06] <allisonvoll> StoqLive: for every kernel version  in grub menu, there should be one with (single user)
[01:06] <Paddy_NI> mickster04: oh, cool :)
[01:07] <ruffdog> Paddy_NI, yeah sorry.  *kicking himself* didn't fully read message.  I don't know the software you are talking about :(
[01:07] <ubuntu_> hola
[01:07] <bc81> Roman34: show me the forum thread please, out of curiosity.  did you file a bug on launchpad?
[01:07] <Paddy_NI> no worries mate I am going to ask in #joomla to see if anyone there fancies giving me a hand
[01:07] <juabn> jajaja ubuntu aca hablamos ingles
[01:08] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: http://www.joomla.org/about-joomla/getting-started.html

[01:08] <travis_> ok I need help, nevermind that I was running win7 with no problem but I need help.. I installed ubuntu 10.10 in an "along side" fashion and now I cant boot into ubuntu, i read something that said to install lilo which got me back to my windows partition, is there a way to make the dual boot work, I dont have a windows disk.. HELP!?!?
[01:08] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: i assume you have read http://downloads.joomlacode.org/docmanfileversion/1/7/4/17471/1.5_Installation_Manual_version_0.5.pdf
[01:09] <immy> hi
[01:09] <tripelbaby> I dont understand most of the results of df -h -- I understand this line > /dev/sdc5             884G   84G  756G  11% /  < the next ones (starting with none) tell me about /dev   /dev/shm  /var/run  /var/lock  and  /lib/init/rw      ---  I dont even know how to phrase a question. I know they are parts of the system. why are these parts noted in df -h ?
[01:09] <mickster04> immy: hey
[01:09] <immy> are any of you connected by tor sasl?
[01:09] <immy> or maybe if you were ud rather not say
[01:10] <mickster04> !anyone
[01:10] <immy> oops - ok so ive seen when some ppl join or quit freenode their hostname/ip is not shown
[01:11] <sasy360> allisonvoll: sorry i'm using sabayon. no one were available on their channel so i came here. can i symlink it or something? valac to vala?
[01:11] <ice799> "Package BLAH is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[01:11] <ice799> How do I find out which packages refer to BLAH ?
[01:11] <drc> immy: /j #freenode and for a cloak
[01:11] <bastidraZor> immy: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks  also talk to those in #freenode
[01:11] <mickster04> indoctrinated: what is package blah?
[01:12] <ice799> mickster04: did you mean ice799?
[01:12] <allisonvoll> sasy360: i can't tell because i'd know about vala
[01:12] <allisonvoll> bye
[01:12] <travis_> i need help with a dual boot issue
[01:13] <mickster04> ice799: yes
[01:13] <mickster04> indoctrinated: ignore me :p
[01:13] <ice799> mickster04: just any arbitrary package
[01:13] <ice799> given an arbitrary package how do i find out which packages refer to it
[01:13] <mickster04> ice799: it usually depends on the package
[01:13] <strigoi66> travis_: what seems to be the issue?
[01:14] <bastidraZor> indoctrinated: dpkg -L packagename or dpkg -S filename
[01:14] <tripelbaby> relating to understanding (df -h output) I'd like to know how much of the drive err partition I can repartion off. I have a 1T drive and a partion of 750G and I've used 84G. How much can I take off for another partition. I think I want to keep things in NTFS. I want a partition for media, for photos, for backup of fotos.
[01:14] <bastidraZor> indoctrinated: -L will tell you what a package will install.. -S will tell you what package installed said file
[01:14] <mickster04> ice799: like bastidraZor said
[01:15] <ice799> bastidraZor: that isnt what i need
[01:15] <ice799> I need the reverse.
[01:15] <ice799> I need to know which packages refer to a specific package
[01:16] <bastidraZor> ice799: apt-cache show packagename .. will show what packages are related to
[01:16] <mickster04> thanks bastidraZor
[01:16] <arand> Would rdepends be the thing to look at there?
[01:16] <travis_> strigoi66: have a win7 mochine, just installed ubuntu 10.10 in an "along side" install to dual boot.. recieved errors trying to boot into ubuntu after install, also into windows, read that i needed to install lilo from live cd to get back into windows, which i did... just want dual boot to work in the hopes that i can shitcan windows.. but need to dual boot for now.. thats it
[01:17] <travis_> strigoi66: hope that made sense
[01:18] <bastidraZor> i assume "Provides: .... " would be
[01:18] <ice799> bastidraZor mickster04: i ended up grepping /var/lib/dpkg/available
[01:18] <ice799> and found it
[01:18] <mickster04> ice799: well done
[01:19] <StoqLive> hello
[01:19] <PaulNM> Hi, Is it possible to feed a service fingerprint from one nmap run into a newer version of nmap on another machine that doesn't have access to the scanned network?
[01:19] <StoqLive> anyone can help me with a kernel panic
[01:20] <arlander> help
[01:20] <StoqLive> i can't start ina  single user mode
[01:20] <mickster04> arlander: 42
[01:20] <arlander> exit
[01:20] <bastidraZor> ice799: that shows the same information as apt-cache show
[01:20] <arlander> how to get outta here
[01:20] <StoqLive> the error is /sbin/init :no such file or directory
[01:20] <arlander> lol
[01:20] <tripelbaby> All hard drive names start with "/dev" which simply means "device"  I did not know
[01:20] <mickster04> arlander: /quit ?
[01:20] <StoqLive>   kernel panic not syncing
[01:21] <mickster04> StoqLive: has it ever worked?
[01:21] <mickster04> StoqLive: or is this a fresh install?
[01:21] <StoqLive> 8.244756 kernel panic not sycing
[01:21] <StoqLive> 2.6.35.27-generic
[01:21] <StoqLive> i tried the otherts kernel in my grub list
[01:21] <mickster04> has it ever worked, fresh install?
[01:22] <StoqLive> but got the same error...i think the error occurs after try to install a app called basket9notepad)
[01:22] <StoqLive> basket (notepad)...i don't if it is  problem..or after the update by canonical...
[01:22] <mickster04> StoqLive: what does that do?
[01:22] <StoqLive> mickster04 yes,it's
[01:23] <StoqLive> the app is a note manager
[01:23] <StoqLive> but run with kde envoroment but my enviroment was gnome
[01:24] <mickster04> uhuh, so how did you expect that to work? i mean it shouldn't cause a kernel panic but... and i assume all kernels reach kernel panic?
[01:24] <StoqLive> after the install and remove this app i saw that some libs are duplicated and triplicated at /usr/lib...i decide to remove some
[01:24] <StoqLive> mickster04 yes
[01:24] <mickster04> StoqLive: oh man, well done, sudo apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean would have been  better
[01:25] <mickster04> StoqLive: i think you may have quite broken your install...i mean kernel panics are beyond me, if you can boot a live cd and back up any data do...otherwise...i dunno what to suggest
[01:26] <StoqLive> mickter04  i tried it
[01:26] <mickster04> StoqLive: tried what?
[01:26] <mickster04> StoqLive: tried what?
[01:27] <StoqLive> to clean the app installation,but when i try to remove the ubuntu software center don't work
[01:27] <StoqLive> so i try to start by terminal,and there i saw the libs and the error like more libs than expected
[01:27] <mickster04> StoqLive: are you natively english speaking?
[01:28] <mickster04> explain what you mean by software centre not working
[01:28] <teddyb> whats the best thing to do when a software install freezes (at applying changes)
[01:28] <mickster04> how did it not work?
[01:28] <StoqLive> mickster04 no no,my native langua is brazilian portuguse...my english is it...bad,but i've only it for now
[01:29] <mickster04> StoqLive: no it's ok, there are channels for your native toungue?
[01:29] <mickster04> StoqLive: it may be easier for you to get help there?
[01:29] <StoqLive> stop answer
[01:29] <mickster04> StoqLive: purely for the sake of understanding
[01:29] <leaveboy> stop answer
[01:29] <mickster04> teddyb: wait?
[01:29] <mickster04> teddyb: it might still be working?
[01:29] <StoqLive> yes
[01:30] <teddyb> its been over an hour
[01:30] <teddyb> and its an install of wine
[01:30] <StoqLive> no  no for an hour? a simple app?
[01:30] <mickster04> StoqLive: so you explain what didn't work when you tried uninstalling using softwrae centre?
[01:30] <teddyb> i wanted to make sure it was frozen :)
[01:30] <nejode> teddyb, what are you installing? some apps requiere you to accept a licence
[01:30] <mickster04> teddyb: uhm , well cancell it and try again, how are you installing it? software centre, synaptics or terminal? (or sumat else)
[01:31] <StoqLive> so,the problem was after try to remove this app called "basket notepad"
[01:32] <mickster04> StoqLive: well did you install it using software centre?
[01:32] <StoqLive> the system stop to work i did a reboot and got a kernel panic
[01:32] <StoqLive> yes
[01:32] <mickster04> StoqLive: sounds like you have corrupted your system
[01:32] <teddyb> mickster04 software center (i dont see a cancel option anywhere)
[01:32] <mickster04> StoqLive: it may have been writing to the hdd and you just forced a reboot
[01:32] <teddyb> and nejode, wine1.2
[01:33] <mickster04> teddyb: uhm. well try closing the software centre see what happens :p iunno really :/ system monitor might be able to tell you if the process is zombied?
[01:33] <StoqLive> don't have a ideia to recover my system...the init process (pid 1) can't start
[01:33] <nejode> teddyb, close the window and run the command "sudo apt-get -f install"
[01:34] <mickster04> StoqLive: get a live disk, mount the hdd back up your data, reinstall imo :p but i don't really know how to rescue an install
[01:34] <mickster04> !rescue
[01:34] <sacarlson> travis_: you must have read a very old post if it told you to install lilo,  we have used grub2 for years,  how did you install lilo,  what did it change?
[01:34] <mickster04> StoqLive: see what ubottu wrote?
[01:34] <teddyb> nejode E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:34] <teddyb> nejode and i closed the window
[01:35] <StoqLive> mickster04 /sbin/init ? no such file or directory
[01:35] <mickster04> teddyb: wait a second for it to kill it properly
[01:35] <StoqLive> mickster04 8.244756 kernel panic not sycing
[01:35] <DandyKoffin> I can't scroll through spells on Diablo II running in WINE; how can I fix this?
[01:35] <mickster04> !rescue | StoqLive:
[01:35] <nejode> teddyb, do you have synaptic running too?
[01:35] <DandyKoffin> also, sounds and cutscenes don'ts work
[01:35] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: ask #wine
[01:35] <DandyKoffin> k
[01:36] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: what does the wine appdb say about diablo2
[01:36] <teddyb> nope
[01:36] <DandyKoffin> mickster04: what do you mean?
[01:36] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: you know what the wineappDB is right?
[01:37] <DandyKoffin> mickster04: no
[01:37] <DandyKoffin> but I'll look it up
[01:37] <GeekMan> how do i install openoffice 3.0
[01:37] <GeekMan> not 3.2
[01:37] <tripelbaby> I have a 884 gig partition. I want to carve it up and have a separate /home  756G are free now. I'd like to plan now here and not whine later after making errors, losing stuff, etc.
[01:37] <GeekMan> i cant find it in synpatic man
[01:37] <teddyb> nejode no i dont, but software center isnt quitting the install when i close it
[01:37] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: why do you want to do that?
[01:38] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: ok, so yeah, look into the wine app DB and it'll tell you about compatibilty with lots of apps thru wine
[01:38] <tripelbaby> geekman http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[01:38] <DandyKoffin> mickster04: thanks
[01:38] <mickster04> tripelbaby: back up everything first :p
[01:38] <tripelbaby> geekman I googled it
[01:38] <mickster04> tripelbaby: that link is out of date
[01:38] <tripelbaby> mickster I cant back up everything, no space to do that. Why not? Because I didnt partition it.
[01:39] <mickster04> tripelbaby: what is the fs atm
[01:39] <nejode> teddyb, give me a minute
[01:39] <sacarlson> GeekMan: it might be posible to pin openoffice to an older version, normaly you pin when you already have or had it installed and want to keep it
[01:39] <GeekMan> sacarlson ?
[01:40] <wangbj> how to use this?
[01:40] <mickster04> GeekMan: any particular reason?
[01:40] <GeekMan> i need an extention to work
[01:40] <mickster04> wangbj: press key; repeat step one;
[01:40] <GeekMan> :P
[01:40] <tripelbaby> mickster04 re geekman and softpedia link. wont the terminal instructions still work.
[01:40] <sacarlson> GeekMan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[01:40] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: if all you want is a separate /home, there is a new gui feature next release I believe that allows you to reinstall maintaining /home folder.
[01:40] <GeekMan> what is pinning
[01:40] <GeekMan> lol
[01:41] <GeekMan> nvm
[01:41] <mickster04> GeekMan: see if you can't type sudo apt-get install openoff[tab] and see if there is a 3.0 option listed
[01:41] <rcmaehl> WTF!? I got a kernel panic unplugging my usb headset
[01:41] <nejode> teddyb, go to system>administration>system monitor
[01:41] <GeekMan> i have 10.04
[01:41] <teddyb> nejode yeah
[01:41] <tripelbaby> chogydan I dont want to reinstall. I want to have things on a NTFS partition. also things are safer in separate partitions.
[01:41] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, you here
[01:41] <Roasted> how do I make rhythmbox NOT pop up automatically when I plug in my sandisk player?
[01:41] <mickster04> tripelbaby: i think you can resize the partitions
[01:42] <tripelbaby> I also want to learn how things work internally and how much of my not-too-old reive is already written on mickster04
[01:42] <nejode> teddyb, go to the precess tab
[01:42] <rcmaehl> Is that a bug or soemthing?
[01:42] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: not sure ntfs is good for /home
[01:42] <nejode> *process
[01:42] <teddyb> nejode yep
[01:43] <nejode> teddyb, look for software-center. right click and kill process
[01:43] <immy> hi again
[01:43] <mickster04> tripelbaby: so what is the situation now, and how do you want it to be...explain in full pls
[01:43] <tripelbaby> ChogyDan, I want ntfs for data. I was trying to simplify my question, which worked.. because the original question and the second and third try (yesterday and today) got no responses.
[01:43] <GeekMan> mickster04 do i type [tab] or press it
[01:43] <Gryphon4200> I'm connecting to my Ubuntu server via Kitty (a Putty clone) and I'd like to use Midnight Commander which works fine but it's not being rendered correctly.
[01:43] <tripelbaby> mickster04, ok just a minute.
[01:43] <teddyb> there isnt one
[01:44] <nejode> teddyb, geeks will kill me for saying this: reboot
[01:44] <GeekMan> mickster if i type out tab i get:: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:44] <teddyb> was thinking that would be a good way to do it
[01:44] <DandyKoffin> mickster04: Diablo II runs, but I can't scroll through spells
[01:44] <immy> i want to install drivers/scripts for my samsung scx-4521f printer. do you think I should try and install it via live CD first and once I find a method to get it printing and scanning boot up to my installation and install? i don't want to mess things up or add cruft
[01:45] <teddyb> thanks for the help nejode
[01:45] <WeThePeople> how would i find out what the numbers and letters are of the mounted drive...e.g.493D9CB55373C3DD?
[01:45] <immy> i think you can browse in /dev
[01:45] <Roasted> Is there a reason why Rhythmbox doesn't detect all of my music on my mp3 player? Each time I plug it in, Rhythmbox "imports" a different number. It varies from, 0, 690, 665, 700, 890, 1100, etc. Yet the number NEVER changes....
[01:45] <nejode> teddyb,  remember to run "sudo apt-get -f install" after reboot to fix the broken install
[01:45] <Gryphon4200> WeThePeople: Are you attempting to find out the /deb/???? stuff is?
[01:45] <Jeruvy> WeThePeople: the uuid you mean?
[01:46] <immy> i think you can use df?
[01:46] <immy> df -h i think
[01:46] <WeThePeople> Jeruvy, yes i think
[01:47] <GeekMan> browse deb yeah
[01:47] <GeekMan> *dev
[01:47] <Jeruvy> WeThePeople: you can check your mount's for that (or the kernel..)
[01:47] <Roasted> Is there a reason why Rhythmbox doesn't detect all of my music on my mp3 player? Each time I plug it in, Rhythmbox "imports" a different number. It varies from, 0, 690, 665, 700, 890, 1100, etc. Yet the number NEVER changes....
[01:47] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: try blkid
[01:47] <endeavormac> i'm trying to create a startup disk with the
[01:47] <ruan>  /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:47] <ruan> go there
[01:47] <endeavormac> startup disk creation tool. I am stuck on "Installing the bootloader"
[01:47] <Jeruvy> Roasted: have you tried gmusicbrowser?
[01:48] <Godslastering> i'm doing some rendering in blender, and it seems to not be using my GPU at all, any way to test if it is, and/or fix it?
[01:48] <DandyKoffin> the Diablo II wineappDB doesn't have much
[01:48] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, thankyou
[01:48] <DandyKoffin> didn't help
[01:48] <Roasted> Jeruvy, no, but I'd REALLY like to stick with rhythmbox since it does a nice job of playlist handling with my Sansa...
[01:48] <albert> hello
[01:48] <Roasted> Jeruvy, I just hate how right now, it picked up 461 songs when there's almost 1200 on here.
[01:48] <drc> Roasted: After watching this struggle for days :) ... maybe it's time to try #rhythmbox on irc.gnome.org ?
[01:48] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: well ask wine channel
[01:48] <Jeruvy> Roasted: OK, Can't say I've had any luck with rythmbox  personally.
[01:48] <GeekMan> Roasted where did you buy the songs
[01:49] <GeekMan> if you did
[01:49] <Roasted> GeekMan, a lot of them were ripped
[01:49] <theos> hi guys :) do we have an m4b player in ubuntu? totem and vlc cant play it i guess
[01:49] <g_0_0> Roasted, so you got your fuze working?
[01:49] <immy> karma
[01:49] <ruan> lol
[01:49] <Roasted> g_0_0, lol, are you kidding me? of course not.
[01:49] <mickster04> GeekMan: press it:D
[01:49] <speedrunnerG55> what is a goood irc client for ubuntu
[01:49] <speedrunnerG55> xD
[01:49] <g_0_0> Roasted, :)
[01:49] <Jeruvy> Roasted: Gmusicbrowser handles my gvfs library without concern.
[01:49] <mickster04> speedrunnerG55: irssi
[01:49] <Roasted> g_0_0, I keep wnating to get rhythmbox working, since it's worked the best so far. It just doesn't detect all of my music right.
[01:49] <ruan> speedrunnerG55: irssi/chatzilla/xchat
[01:49] <theos> speedrunnerG55, xchat is what i use :)
[01:49] <GeekMan> mickster04 if i press it it just completes the word openoffice thats it
[01:49] <Gryphon4200> What's the term type that mc needs to render correctly?
[01:50] <g_0_0> Roasted,  did you try the link I gave you yesterday?
[01:50] <speedrunnerG55> ok ill use xchat
[01:50] <mickster04> GeekMan: press it again then, and it'll give you a list of things that match
[01:50] <Roasted> Jeruvy, I'm trying it now, but I'm still very curious about rhythmbox.
[01:50] <trebuchet> what if compression software were to use gpu's to perform calculations?
[01:50] <tokinjoe> just installed 10.10 on a virtual machine inside windows XP, having problems changing screen resolution, assuming i need to install the proper drivers? (intel 4 series chipset family)
[01:50] <Roasted> g_0_0, uh, what was in the link, the .is_audio_player file?
[01:50] <g_0_0> Roasted, yep but you had to edit it
[01:50] <immy> i guess i'll try installing my samsung scx-4521f printer via liveCD first
[01:50] <xrdodrx> Does Ubuntu have fluid handwriting recognition like Windows 7?
[01:50] <Roasted> oh look! Rhythmbox has detected 482 songs this time, whereas 5 minutes ago it was 461. BUT... there's 1200 on here. Isn't that cute?
[01:50] <Roasted> g_0_0, yeah, tried it. didn't work.
[01:51] <GeekMan> oh i didnt give it enough time i guess lol
[01:51] <nejode> tokinjoe, if you're using virtualbox you need to install "guest additions"
[01:51] <Roasted> no WONDER they're switching to Banshee in 11.04
[01:51] <Roasted> (oh snap)
[01:51] <Jeruvy> Roasted: I personally gave up on rythmbox
[01:51] <sadistic_angel> hola
[01:51] <mickster04> xrdodrx: i don't think either have it inbuilt?
[01:51] <mickster04> !sp
[01:51] <sacarlson> immy: if you install anything in livecd when you reboot it won't be there
[01:51] <mickster04> !es
[01:51] <Roasted> too bad banshee shuts off when I open it
[01:51] <Roasted> do I really have to boot up windows to manage my music? really?
[01:52] <xrdodrx> mickster04,  yes it does
[01:52] <Jeruvy> Roasted: I would.
[01:52] <immy> thats fine... i don't want to mess up my install or add cruft
[01:52] <Roasted> Jeruvy, I refuse.
[01:52] <Roasted> I absolutely refuse.
[01:52] <xrdodrx>  windows I mean
[01:52] <sadistic_angel> i use aqua lung of vlc
[01:52] <Jeruvy> Roasted: good luck with that.
[01:52] <GeekMan> mickster04 what exactly am i trying to find in this list of 500+ possibilites lol
[01:52] <theos> Roasted, you dont have to use windows now :)
[01:52] <mickster04> xrdodrx: well i dunno, i have never heard of it?
[01:52] <hydester> how do i know what user account a service uses?  i'm getting permission denied on a service (mongodb) trying to use a file owned by root.  troubleshooting
[01:52] <GeekMan> ooo 3.0 right
[01:52] <Roasted> theos, actually yeah. I do.
[01:52] <immy> i just want to get a method that works for printing and scanning - so first thru livecd then once I get it working ill redo on my local install
[01:52] <mickster04> GeekMan: add 3 before pressing tab
[01:52] <Roasted> theos, because I like to , you know, manage my music collection on my mp3 player.
[01:52] <Roasted> theos, evidently all of the linux players fail to do so.
[01:53] <drc> Roasted: I'd try #rhythmbox on irc.gnome.org (the horse's mouth) ... after all this time, it can't hurt
[01:53] <theos> Roasted, why so? whats your problem in linux?
[01:53] <Jeruvy> Roasted: gmusicbrowser is the only player that manages my library, rythmbox is crap.
[01:53] <ruan> there still are more
[01:53] <sacarlson> immy: for that kind of thing I use virtualbox so I can try it and not break anything. in fact in ubuntu 8.04 I ran virtualbox to get my printer to work on a 64bit machine
[01:53] <mickster04> hydester: use sudo with that command
[01:53] <Teligard> hello
[01:54] <xrdodrx>  Does anyone know of a handwriting recognition system for Ubuntu that does not require you to write
[01:54] <speedrunnerG55> what about smuxi?
[01:54] <xrdodrx> in boxes**?
[01:54] <theos> Roasted, almost all players in ubuntu can manage mp3 atleast. m4b is a problem i guess
[01:54] <Teligard> I was wondering if anyone has had issues where their floppy and hard drives go through a seek check about 20 times after logging in
[01:54] <Roasted> theos, rhythmbox won't see all of my music. each time I plug in, it sees a different amount. 490, 482, 1100, 690, 800, 700, 665, it just sees random amounts and seems to skip over a lot of bands I have on there. Banshee works but shuts off at random times and its playlist support as of now sucks, exaile's playlists come up empty on my sansa when I unplug and all other players don't have the support I need.
[01:54] <trebuchet> lol
[01:54] <immy> thx for the tip sacarlson
[01:54] <Teligard> additionally, I run into a similiar issue with the login audio
[01:54] <Gryphon4200> What's the term type that mc needs to render correctly?
[01:54] <Teligard> (it plays over itself several times)
[01:55] <l1nuxman> I have a weird problem when I open rar files in archive manager. I have unrar installed and can list my .jpg files but when I try to extract some of them (some do work) they don't extract or can't really open them.
[01:55] <ponbiki> y access to the channels and then had my oline remved
[01:55] <theos> Roasted, maybe you have a bad install of ubuntu. or you messed it up someway?
[01:55] <moes> mickster04, Is there a command I can use in a terminal to list my optical drives
[01:55] <ponbiki> oops
[01:55] <g_0_0> Roasted, have you tried songbird?
[01:55] <Roasted> theos, does the same thing on my laptop.
[01:55] <sacarlson> xrdodrx: take a look at ocr apps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR
[01:55] <Roasted> g_0_0, songbird died.
[01:55] <GeekMan> mickster04 it wont work "sudo apt-get install openoffice3[tab] .... or openoff3[tab]
[01:55] <mickster04> moes: probably
[01:55] <theos> Roasted, which mp3 player?
[01:55] <mickster04> GeekMan: what happens?
[01:55] <Roasted> theos, sandisk sansa fuze
[01:55] <g_0_0> Roasted, there are still unsupported releases as far as I'm aware
[01:55] <Teligard> I'm running 10.10 x64, kernel 2.6.35-26-generic
[01:55] <GeekMan> nothing i get a beep
[01:56] <Roasted> g_0_0, I'm trying to get into that rhythmbox chat. Is it not preloaded in xchat??
[01:56] <mickster04> GeekMan: press tab a couple of times till it lists stuff?
[01:56] <mickster04> GeekMan: try openo[tab]
[01:56] <Teligard> It started after allowing a system update that got stuck setting the kernel
[01:56] <bastidraZor> g_0_0: i thought songbird was dead.. have it been revived?
[01:56] <ruan> browse the sound&video section on ubuntu soft center.
[01:56] <sacarlson> Teligard: sounds like you might have a irq conflict,  lets see your sudo lshw
[01:56] <GeekMan> 3270-common  3dchess
[01:56] <g_0_0> Roasted, this looks like a pretty recent version to me -> http://developer.songbirdnest.com/builds/trunk/latest/
[01:56] <GeekMan> lol
[01:56] <Roasted> yes, songbird died.
[01:56] <Roasted> the linux songbird died.
[01:56] <ruan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird
[01:57] <jaywalker> Im trying to set up a few hard drives on ubuntu server 10.04 (64 bit). I've got them mounted and recognized and all that, but each time i reboot the server they show up as different devices (ie sda1 swapped for sdb1) and then they mount in the wrong folders... how can i fix this?
[01:57] <Roasted> I think only windows is actively supported with it so far
[01:57] <Jeruvy> Roasted: agreed.
[01:57] <g_0_0> roasted 19th feb - linux
[01:57] <Roasted> if it's back, it came back from the dead, but I'm positive they killed off the linux port.
[01:57] <GeekMan> hold on
[01:57] <xrdodrx> sacarlson, That's not really what I'm talking about, that's more if you were to scan a document or something.
[01:57] <g_0_0> Roasted not supported but worth a try :)
[01:57] <nejode> jaywalker, use UUID's
[01:57] <Roasted> g_0_0, meh
[01:57] <Teligard> sacarlson: working on getting that for you
[01:57] <mickster04> GeekMan: iunno what the package is called sorry
[01:57] <mickster04> :/
[01:58] <Teligard> sacarlson: where do you want it posted?
[01:58] <Roasted> how do I get into this irc chat for rhythmbox
[01:58] <Roasted> I only use freenode stuff
[01:58] <sacarlson> xrdodrx: what do you want to write on a pad?
[01:58] <jaywalker> ty
[01:58] <Chardot> Hi, does anybody use BURG? I can't get it to show in 1680x1050 resolution..
[01:58] <bastidraZor> jaywalker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab   and yes using UUID's is best. sudo blkid   will give that to you
[01:58] <Gryphon4200> exit
[01:58] <sacarlson> !paste | Teligard
[01:58] <Teligard> ok
[01:58] <mickster04> Chardot: it doesn't show all resolutions, only certain ones, go to the burg site for help i think?
[01:58] <theos> Roasted, the forums show that your player is officially supported by ubuntu.
[01:59] <xrdodrx> sacarlson,  I have a USB pen tablet
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, that's what I thought oo.
[01:59] <inoh> how do you gain pemissions to a hidden file on a usb hdd when using ubuntu live?
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, it works great if I just dump the files on the device.
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, but rhythmbox doesnt detect all of the music. It picks and chooses what it wants to see.
[01:59] <Teligard> It's taking a while to generate
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, its so irritaing to be in and, oh wait, where's Pearl Jam at? That entire folder is just mysteriously gone.
[01:59] <theos> Roasted, maybe it chooses a specific format?
[01:59] <Chardot> mickster04: I was looking for help, and it seems that many of those in my situation were successful, they (somehow) get it
[01:59] <sacarlson> xrdodrx: in any case I think it's still falls into ocr  caricter recognition,  I'm not sure we have anything like apple has
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, whats the excuse for it picking it up next time?
[02:00] <GeekMan> mickster04 i het things for openoffice.org2.0
[02:00] <Roasted> theos, it's not he SAME music each time. It';s different every single time I plug in.
[02:00] <drc> Roasted: PM?
[02:00] <theos> Roasted, lol thats a problem then
[02:00] <xrdodrx> sacarlson, I didn't even bring up apple lol
[02:00] <Roasted> theos, I know :(
[02:00] <Roasted> drc, ?
[02:00] <Roasted> how in the world do I get on irc.gnome.org
[02:00] <Jeruvy> irc://irc.gnome.org
[02:00] <theos> do /server irc.gnome.org 6667
[02:00] <IdleOne> Roasted: /server  irc.gnome.org
[02:01] <Chardot> maybe someone here had the same problem and fixed it..
[02:01] <theos> lol we forgot to tell him to type that on a new server tab :/
[02:01] <mickster04> char this is ubuntu help, not burg help
[02:01] <Teligard> sacarlson: Still, apparently, generating for SCSI
[02:01] <Roasted> well that was fun
[02:01] <mickster04> Chardot: ^^^^
[02:01] <IdleOne> theos: I didn't forget :)
[02:01] <Roasted> can I not be on irc.gnome.org and freenode at the same time?
[02:01] <IdleOne> Roasted: you using xchat?
[02:01] <theos> Roasted, yes you can :) use a new server tab
[02:01] <Roasted> IdleOne, sure am
[02:02] <tripelbaby> what is this file I have XING.TAR

[02:02] <Roasted> ty theos + IdleOne
[02:02] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, how do i mount a filesystem  in knoppix, same as 10,04?
[02:02] <inoh> Hi.  I have the following message: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of ".xchat2".  How can I fix this?
[02:02] <Chardot> mickster04: ^^^^ <-- what? o_O
[02:02] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: yes with mount in a term it's linux
[02:02] <crazybrain> How to download object-dock for Ubuntu?
[02:03] <theos> anyone know how to play m4b files on ubuntu?
[02:03] <mickster04> Chardot: i wrote a message to you but didn't use the right niclk, rather than re-type it i tried pointing to it
[02:03] <SirOmega> Ah mm yeah, so I am completely lost when it comes to getting drivers on ubuntu. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
[02:03] <mickster04> SirOmega: what device isn't working?
[02:04] <SirOmega> My wireless card. Apparently i've been reading in Ubuntu 10.10 there are driver issues?
[02:04] <tokinjoe> trying to install guest additions onto virtual box, every tutorial i find gives the same instructions(click on devices-->install guest additions). cannot find devices anywhere?
[02:04] <Chardot> mickster04: yeah, thanks. I use Ubuntu.
[02:04] <sacarlson> SirOmega: in most cases devices are plug and play,  what device might you need drivers for?
[02:04] <mickster04> Chardot: fine, but your problem isn't about ubuntu
[02:04] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, how would i do it using the terminal?
[02:04] <SirOmega> Well I've been trying to connect wirelessly to the internet in my house and it just can't seem to connect at all.
[02:04] <mickster04> SirOmega: tell us what the card is already
[02:04] <Chardot> mickster04: I appreciate your help.
[02:05] <sacarlson> WeThePeople:  try man mount

[02:05] <crazybrain> How to install object dock in Ubuntu 10.10?
[02:05] <GeekMan> i wish libre office was on linux ppc
[02:05] <mickster04> crazybrain: what does their websoite say?
[02:05] <sacarlson> SirOmega: show us what's seen with sudo iwconfig | pastebinit
[02:05] <Teligard> sacarlson: Still, apparently, generating for SCSI
[02:06] <sacarlson> Teligard: sounds like you found your conflicting device
[02:06] <Teligard> sacarlson: I think that somehow the process hung
[02:06] <mickster04> crazybrain: you know thats for windows right?
[02:06] <Vitasoy> sacarlson pastebinit command is a default command in 10.10? =p pretty neat
[02:06] <sacarlson> Teligard: is scsi a build in thing?
[02:07] <crazybrain> mickster04: yeah i know
[02:07] <Teligard> sacarlson: I don't know
[02:07] <mickster04> crazybrain: there are native ubuntu docks available
[02:07] <sacarlson> Vitasoy: I'm not sure it is or not, if not install it
[02:07] <crazybrain> mickster04: such as?
[02:07] <mjs> crazybrain, cairo-dock gets my vote
[02:07] <Teligard> sacarlson: I's assuming it's identifying SATA as SCSI
[02:07] <mickster04> crazybrain: docky
[02:08] <mickster04> crazybrain: do a google search?
[02:08] <crazybrain> mickster04: i downloaded Cairo Dock
[02:08] <crazybrain> and untar the file
[02:08] <sacarlson> Teligard: try reboot and try again,  if it fails again start to turn devices off in bios until it works
[02:08] <crazybrain> but i dont know how to install it
[02:08] <mickster04> crazybrain: how about you use the softrware centre?
[02:09] <crazybrain> mickster04: can you gimme the link?
[02:09] <Teligard> sacarlson: ok
[02:09] <mjs> crazybrain, depending on the version that you're using, its in the repos...sudo apt-get install cairo-dock
[02:09] <mickster04> crazybrain: apps>software centre ?
[02:09] <sasbazooka> hey a;;
[02:09] <sasbazooka> all
[02:09] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, the filesystem says its mounted when i right click, but it doe not show up on the desktop, is it still mounted? because i cannot access it using the terminal. so i can change the WinXP password. and i am typing in everything correct
[02:09] <mickster04> crazybrain: you haven't been using ubuntu long eh? :)
[02:09] <mjs> crazybrain, cairo-dock -O to run
[02:10] <crazybrain> kk
[02:10] <crazybrain> thnxxx guys
[02:10] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: if you just use the command mount alone it will display all the devices that are presently mounted and there location

[02:11] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: no you can't cd to the directory?  no you can't see where it's mounted with mount?
[02:11] <crazybrain> is it cool
[02:12] <mickster04> crazybrain: ya
[02:12] <Chardot> smarty comments don't help in a help channel..
[02:12] <cyborg_jt> what is a txt based web client?
[02:12] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: you must find out if it's mounted before you go there
[02:12] <pnunn> cyborg_jt: lynx
[02:12] <mickster04> cyborg_jt: lynx
[02:12] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: and what command did you use to mount it?

[02:14] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, its all correct, but no such file or Dir.
[02:14] <mickster04> WeThePeople: use tab to auto complete the path
[02:14] <mickster04> !tab
[02:14] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, does not work
[02:14] <pnunn> cyborg_it: Been watching it on TV.. bloody amazing stuff. Take care there.

[02:19] <stanman246> sudo apt-get install mc
[02:19] <n2i> Hi all!
[02:19] <mickster04> theos: apparently vlc will open them
[02:19] <stanman246> then in the terminal run mc (midnight commander)
[02:19] <mickster04> theos: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/m4b
[02:19] <mickster04> theos: that was my FIRST google result
[02:19] <stanman246> you can 'wander' around using your arrow keys and enter
[02:19] <theos> mickster04, vlc can open it but cant play
[02:19] <mickster04> theos: i typed "m4b file" into google
[02:20] <n2i> How to I login to irc with empathy?
[02:20] <mickster04> theos: what's the difference?
[02:20] <mickster04> n2i: does empathy support irc?
[02:20] <theos> mickster04, lol cant play m4b files on vlc
[02:20] <WeThePeople> wow mc is kick @ss
[02:20] <stanman246> ;-)
[02:20] <n2i> mickster04: yep
[02:20] <n2i> ubuntu 10.04
[02:20] <mickster04> n2i: then add account i guess
[02:21] <n2i> yes, i have a account
[02:21] <stanman246> WeThePeople, what was the problem?
[02:21] <trentg> How do I tell if I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server or regular?
[02:21] <n2i> but there is no place to choose/set server
[02:21] <mickster04> n2i: that'll probably be when you set up the irc account?
[02:22] <Hipotok> does anyone know if I can i use gconf-editor or some other tool create certain settings like show computer, home folder and trash automatically on newly created user accounts?
[02:22] <WeThePeople> stanman246, i am trying to access my WinXp F.S. on knoppix to change the admin password
[02:22] <raido> trentg: uname -a
[02:22] <trentg> uname -a shows a -server kernel, does that mean I'm running server edition?
[02:22] <n2i> hmm, wait me a moment!
[02:22] <raido> trentg: likelt
[02:22] <mickster04> Hipotok: what do you want to happen? how many users do you create?
[02:22] <ubuntu_> Having issues with my onboard ati radeon HD 4250, every time I install the proprietary driver I lose my full hd resolution??  My desktop gets black boarders
[02:22] <raido> trentg: likely
[02:22] <stanman246> ah i see
[02:22] <trentg> raido, thanks
[02:23] <mickster04> ubuntu_: you do reboot right?
[02:23] <kindari> hey guys, migrating a windows server over to ubuntu. There is a raid card installed with two hard drives setup for raid 1, the card itself reports raid is just fine (pre ubuntu.) Not sure how ubuntu handles raid though. When doing "lshw -C disk" I see both of the disks in the array, trying to decide how I should go about mounting one.
[02:23] <ubuntu_> mickster04 yes
[02:23] <raido> trentg: it is possible to install a server kernel on a desktop install but you would know it you did that
[02:23] <MeXTuX> I'm trying to use Ubuntu Live CD 10.10 on my laptop Sony VAIO VPCCW15FL but got a blank screen during boot time. This is what I get when I typed lspci -->01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 230M] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[02:23] <Hipotok> mickster84: I want to customize i guess the default files that are used to create a new user to include computer, home folder and trash icons as well as add a few extra buttons to pannel
[02:24] <Hipotok> mickster84: basically clone my user settings to every new user that will be created in the future
[02:24] <n2i> mickster04: http://www.imagesk.com/tl0Ty9On.png the add account dialog
[02:24] <ubuntu_> If I remove the driver than it goes back to normal but I lose all my graphic acceleration
[02:24] <n2i> how to add | chooser | set server?
[02:25] <mickster04> n2i: what happens when you try using that account?
[02:25] <tripelbaby> mickster04, This is my explanation http://paste.ubuntu.com/570884/
[02:26] <n2i> mickster04: I get error!
[02:26] <n2i> "Network error"
[02:26] <mickster04> n2i: what error? cannot find server n2i?
[02:27] <n2i> There is no server to connect!
[02:27] <Sir> Ok why is that I cannot seem to connect wirelessly but my XP laptop can?
[02:27] <n2i> mickster04: yep, i think so!
[02:27] <mickster04> tripelbaby: yeah ask again in the channel, i just wanted you to get an explaination together :p
[02:27] <WeThePeople> sacarlson,  i got it i didnt need the UUID only 'sda1' in it place...lol thx for the help
[02:27] <Hipotok> mickster04: does what I am asking for make any sense?
[02:27] <mickster04> n2i: account shouldn't be n2i i think that's the server name? not sure tho
[02:28] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: how are things safer on separate partitions?
[02:28] <n2i> hmm, i will try
[02:28] <wedwo-> n2i, on the left where it says ADD, you have to add irc.freenode.net
[02:28] <gsp2009> ugh... I uninstalled compiz and emerald completely, and now I have no window controls. 10.10... anyone know a fix?
[02:28] <mickster04> Hipotok: i think so
[02:28] <valsacar> Need some help, Ubuntu 10.10 32b on Compaq Presario CQ56, the function key is working in reverse (the fn function key)
[02:28] <n2i> wedwo-: maybe?
[02:29] <n2i> http://www.imagesk.com/wkf3nGpc.png error
[02:29] <HeatMzzr> can someone tell me where i should install bootloader when trying to dualboot?
[02:29] <Teligard> hello
[02:29] <mickster04> valsacar: u have a fnctn lovck on
[02:29] <wedwo-> n2i, click on "new IRC account" and see if you can add it there
[02:29] <administrator> hi
[02:29] <valsacar> HeatMzzr if you install Ubuntu second it will ask if you want dual boot, say yes and it does everything
[02:29] <Teligard> well, it appears it was SATA that
[02:29] <mickster04> Hipotok: the first hdd, like sda, NOT sda1/2
[02:29] <troyounces> hi everyone - I just installed linux yesterday
[02:29] <troyounces> for the first time
[02:29] <valsacar> mickster04 I can't find any button that does that, so assuming it's some config option (does this from start up)
[02:30] <mickster04> HeatMzzr: : the first hdd, like sda, NOT sda1/2
[02:30] <Hipotok> mickster04: I know how to ask this question in the windows world, just not sure what everything is called in gnome so I don't know what to search for on the internet. maybe you can help me by telling me where in ubuntu 10.10 does gnome store the files it uses to create a new desktop for a freshly created user?
[02:30] <gsp2009> and also I can't have focus on any other window...
[02:30] <troyounces> i want to share some files from solaris and want to know what the difference is between cifs and nfs
[02:30] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: personally, I don't think it matters much how you partition with a drive that big.  If you want your data safe, I would argue for another drive
[02:30] <raido> HeatMzzr: in the MBR
[02:30] <troyounces> any reason to use one over the other?
[02:30] <mickster04> Hipotok: i dunno how to do what you
[02:30] <mickster04> 're asking for
[02:30] <Guest74512> i just install ylmfos yesterday
[02:30] <kindari> Is it normal for both disks in hardware raid 1 to still show up in ubuntu? Which should I mount? (coming from windows server.)
[02:30] <Teligard> is there a way to use the SATA and soft-raid (onboard) for RAID support in 10.10
[02:30] <SuperL4g> marienz: you holding up okay? you near the CHCH area?
[02:30] <HeatMzzr> valsacar, tried to install already but got errors. trying to reinstall, wouldnt boot into ubuntu. now on iphone trying to fix. lol
[02:31] <valsacar> mickster04 Only thing that looks like it should (a little lock) just puts this in: l
[02:31] <raido> Teligard: cifs is more configurable and secure, nfs is easier to implement and less to troubleshoot but has no real security
[02:31] <Sir> ethernet controller is what my wireless card is correct or no?
[02:32] <mickster04> valsacar: well i dunno, i don't own that keyboard but that would be the problem, there is a lock key that you have [pressed
[02:32] <raido> troyounces: cifs is more configurable and secure, nfs is easier to implement and less to troubleshoot but has no real security
[02:32] <mickster04> valsacar: press fn + that key?
[02:32] <Hipotok> mickster64: guessing by the silence noone else knows or I am not making sense with what I am saying, thx for your time
[02:32] <valsacar> mickster04 I pressed nothing, it ws this way from the moment I installed ubuntu
[02:32] <gsp2009> f
[02:32] <mickster04> valsacar: oh humm:(
[02:32] <adub_> it appears i only install some of apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment i cancelled at 28% how can i remove the 28% files download for the gnome-desktop-environment application??
[02:32] <n2i> wedwo-: i get this http://www.imagesk.com/Sw8Rotu1.png
[02:32] <raido> troyounces: if you learn to use samba you will get more use out of having learned it over nfs
[02:33] <Guest74512> hello!everyone
[02:33] <mickster04> adub_: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
[02:33] <troyounces> i already know how to use samba
[02:33] <valsacar> mickster04 hence I figure there's some config option (I would think under gconf-editor) to flip it, but I can't find anything
[02:33] <adub_> did autoremove it did not do anything this time
[02:33] <troyounces> i'm using it to share files with my windows machines
[02:33] <mickster04> valsacar: bios mayb?
[02:33] <wedwo-> n2i, see if this helps: http://linuxcrunch.com/content/how-use-empathy-messenger
[02:33] <adub_> ill do autoclean
[02:33] <troyounces> just wanted to know if nfs buys me anything
[02:33] <mickster04> adub_: autoclean?
[02:33] <mickster04> adub_: ya
[02:33] <Sir> So I need help with my wireless card to get it to connect to my wireless network.

[02:35] <trav> ok. guys, tried to install ubuntu 10.10 alongside win7, after restart wouldnt boot into ubuntu or windows, read i needed to install lilo to get win back which i did and it worked.. want the dual boot to work but now just boots into win directly, no menu... HELP?
[02:36] <n2i> trav: you should try grub2?
[02:36] <trav> n2i: huh?
[02:36] <lucaspearson> ok go into windows and open the cd and install from the wubi (I think) it should take care of everything for you
[02:37] <wedwo-> n2i, sorry, I'm not understanding you. Are you saying you got it working or that you have already tried that without success?
[02:37] <mickster04> trav: i think you install grub onto the wrong part of the hdd....

[02:42] <gsp2009> Hey folks. Metacity isn't starting at log in. The fix of adding a startup application doesn't seem right. Is there a startup for metacity by default?
[02:42] <mickster04> trav: i think you could try fixing grub

[02:43] <trav> mickster, I dont know much about this stuff, do you know how to fix it?

[02:43] <mickster04> trav: not from over here no, if i had access to your pc i would try and fix it, but seeing as i don't really know whats broken i can't help much
[02:44] <mickster04> trav: what happens?
[02:44] <alisalaah> Is there a way to do roaming profiles if I installed Ubuntu on all of my 5 computers at home, so that applications/settings/etc transfer between all, like logging into a Domain on Windows?

[02:46] <Roasted> bc81, ya know, I did but I forget why I stopped using it. Does it do a good job handling portable media like ipods and such?
[02:47] <ecinx3> use malwarebytes and use the software gaelfx suggested
[02:47] <heavy_bullets> ecinx3: nah.. new instalation .. need it to avoid the virus xD
[02:47] <bc81> Roasted: i think there are plugins for that..in the configuratino menu
[02:47] <heavy_bullets> but thx
[02:47] <alisalaah> gaelfx, on a think client setup, what if i use the laptop outside of the house and bring it back to the house
[02:47] <ChogyDan> sogeking99: same way as firefox
[02:47] <mickster04> heavy_bullets: has installed windows, the worst virus available, and he probably paid for it too :p
[02:47] <alisalaah> then want to code more on Eclipse from my home comp
[02:47] <jack_> Logan_WP: what if i REALLY wanted to get root access...like... really bad
[02:47] <alisalaah> will it update my home folder once it reconnects?
[02:47] <mickster04> jack_: sudo
[02:47] <Roasted> bc81, doesn't appear to be
[02:48] <heavy_bullets> mickster84: i get it for free because of my university .. and no.. i don't have it .. my girlfriend has..
[02:48] <jack_> mickster04: -_-
[02:48] <gaelfx> alisalaah: no, that's not really what they're for, so maybe thin clients aren't the best way to do things
[02:48] <iflema> jack_: sudu (gksudo) <command>   OR   sudo -i   to open a root termianl
[02:48] <heavy_bullets> xd
[02:48] <mickster04> heavy_bullets: your what now?
[02:48] <Roasted> bc81, half these plugins you cant even enable
[02:48] <jack_> iflema: -_-
[02:48] <heavy_bullets> mickster84: wha?
[02:48] <sacarlson> heavy_bullets: well if you didn't notice most people have to pay to go to school so that isn't free
[02:48] <elocina> g NickServ Identify n@n@
[02:48] <alisalaah> gaelfx, I was thinking of MS' roaming profiles type of thing where it can store config on server like your home folder and such
[02:49] <alisalaah> and your background etc is all sync'd
[02:49] <mickster04> heavy_bullets: i was making a joke about not know what a girlfriend was
[02:49] <bc81> Roasted: i see it has usb mass storage plugin
[02:49] <heavy_bullets> mickster84: jajaj i get it
[02:49] <Roasted> bc81, yeah, I see that too
[02:49] <gaelfx> alisalaah: maybe something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RoamingProfilesWithNetworkManager
[02:50] <heavy_bullets> sacarlson: true.. but if that was the case.. everyone on my college would have one copy and nos just my career...
[02:50] <trav> mickster: hangon, gonna get info for you
[02:50] <heavy_bullets> i really don't want to talk about microsoft xd
[02:50] <ecinx3> windows isn't a viurs
[02:50] <bc81> Roasted: you device show up in tools > device menu?
[02:50] <ecinx3> it's system software
[02:50] <mickster04> trav: i may not be able to help you, so ask the channel again, with the extra info
[02:50] <Roasted> bc81, no... I assume it should?
[02:50] <heavy_bullets> sorry for the topic xd
[02:50] <mickster04> ecinx3: a big fat virus :p
[02:50] <sogeking99> is anyone here?
[02:50] <gaelfx> alisalaah: I'll warn you though, I've never tried it and I have no idea how it works
[02:51] <mickster04> sogeking99: no
[02:51] <neil__> hey guys how do i get flash for chronium with ubuntu 10.10
[02:51] <benjgvps> Hello, I installed Ubuntu server 10.04, though within under a minute to five minutes, it hangs and I have to do a hard reset. Is there a Grub argument or something I could use to stop this?
[02:51] <ecinx3> mickster04, no it isn't
[02:51] <gaelfx> trav: did you read the link about Grub2 I sent you?
[02:51] <bc81> Roasted: i recognized by the system, i assume it should.. maybe restart program
[02:51] <Logan_WP> !server | benjgvps
[02:51] <ChogyDan> neil__: same as firefox
[02:51] <Roasted> bc81, do you personally use exaile?
[02:51] <neil__> how?
[02:51] <bc81> Roasted: beyond that, im out of suggestions :(
[02:52] <bc81> Roasted: i only use it to listen to librivox recordings
[02:52] <ChogyDan> neil__: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[02:52] <bc81> Roasted: rythmbox is my main squeeze
[02:52] <Roasted> rhythmbox is such a fail :(
[02:52] <gaelfx> alisalaah: from looking at that article, it seems like there isn't a really simple way to do it, yet at least
[02:52] <bc81> Roasted: i thnk it's your media device that is not so good :P
[02:53] <Roasted> bc81, I talked to the rhythmbox developers about it.
[02:53] <Roasted> bc81, they simply "had no idea"
[02:53] <heavy_bullets> okey guys.. gotta be going.. thx for the help :D
[02:53] <Logan_WP> !info flashplugin-installer | neil__
[02:53] <heavy_bullets> take care
[02:53] <Roasted> bc81, when every other program finds all of my music each time, but rhythmbox doesn't, that kind of suggests its not the player, but the software. no wonder ubuntu ditched it for 11. :(
[02:53] <trav> gaelfx: yes some. seeing how im on a win7 machine, just downloaded ubuntu tonight and installed alongside windows using its settings, not my own...  I didnt do an advanced partition just the simple one, when i restarted and tried to go into ubuntu it wouldnt and got errors, would go into windows ok
[02:53] <bc81> Roasted: what is 11?
[02:54] <Roasted> bc81, ubuntu 11.04
[02:54] <neil__> thanks, do you know where .flv's are while loading them on sites? so i can save videos easy?
[02:54] <bc81> oh
[02:54] <Roasted> its not default anymore
[02:54] <bc81> Roasted: you tried using a later version, like from a ppa?
[02:54] <Roasted> no
[02:54] <Roasted> I asked about that
[02:54] <Roasted> they didn;'t seem to think any recent updates since 10.10's repo version would make a difference
[02:54] <Roasted> so, screw it. I'm off to bigger and better programs :P
[02:54] <extra11> hi
[02:55] <bc81> Roasted: good luck, im getting tired of seeing you in here everyday!  :)
[02:55] <trav> can you guys look at ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198    I think it describes my problem just dont know the fix
[02:55] <alisalaah> gaelfx, yea in windows domain setup you have an Active Directory on a server with usernames, then any computer you login with user/pass and it downloads your home folder (background files etc), and some programs are installed so that everyone can get them etc... on logoff or occassionally it syncs home folder so you can log on to any computer or something like that
[02:55] <Roasted> bc81, I'm getting tired of being here every day.
[02:55] <gaelfx> trav: then it certainly seems that reinstalling is the best option, I would say, since you were never able to successfully enter Ubuntu anyways. Did you use wubi to install?
[02:56] <bryant_> Hello?
[02:56] <neil__> i installed it but im getting a black screen on youtube
[02:56] <bryant_> Oh, so it's working?
[02:56] <bryant_> Can anyone see my messages?
[02:56] <trav> gaelfx: ummm downloaded, burned iso, restarted with cd in the mochine and chose install alongside windows
[02:56] <Logan_WP> bryant_: Yes.
[02:56] <mickster04> bryant_: nope:p
[02:57] <ruffdog> I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 in VMWare as a virtual machine.  I poped in a CD, ran the install direct from the CD and when it finished installing there was no GUI.  I tried startx but no good.  I tried apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (just in case) and still no go.  Any thoughts?
[02:57] <trav> gaelfx: sounding dumb as shit im sure... have absolutely no idea what im doing lol
[02:57] <bryant_> OK, so I'm having issues with Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition.  I don't know where to go and I'm unsure what to do, is this the right place to ask these sorts of questions?
[02:57] <gaelfx> trav: did you try to use it before you installed it?
[02:57] <mickster04> ruffdog: error messages?
[02:57] <Logan_WP> !ask | bryant_
[02:57] <gaelfx> trav: it's ok, everyone starts somewhere
[02:57] <CooKieMonster> how to get a copy of ubuntu for free ?
[02:58] <Roasted> ubuntu.com
[02:58] <gaelfx> alisalaah: looks like someone might be working on it, but it's probably a ways off yet
[02:58] <gaelfx> alisalaah: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RoamingProfilesSync
[02:58] <bryant_> Well ubottu, I'm new to this and wasn't sure if people were able to see my texts or not.
[02:58] <gaelfx> CooKieMonster: download from ubuntu.com
[02:58] <trav> gaelfx: used jaunty before so familiar enough to use synaptic and install crap but console stuff not so much
[02:58] <neil__> anyone know why?
[02:58] <gaelfx> bryant_: ubottu is a bot
[02:59] <CooKieMonster> gaelfx my donlwoad speed is slow
[02:59] <gaelfx> CooKieMonster: there is a way on the site you can request a free cd
[02:59] <trav> gaelfx: ill try to install again i guess.. im in it on live cd if someone knows how to see mbr and what issues may eb
[02:59] <trav> be
[02:59] <bryant_> Question: I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 netbook on my non-netbook laptop. :D  Should this matter?  Anywho, upon initial boot, nothing is appearing.  No panels, no icons, right click doesn't work.  However, they ARE present, as I'm able to hover over the panels/icons and receive a blank popup as if text should be there.
[03:00] <gaelfx> trav: yeah, just reinstall, if the issue persists, we'll be here to ask you about it ;)
[03:00] <ruffdog> mickster04, no.  no error messages.  It brings me into a CLI interface (not terminal).  It looks like it boots up fine though.  I downloaded it direct from the ubuntu website.  Maybe I need to redownload?
[03:01] <trav> gaelfx: im gonna be up all night arent i.... brb
[03:01] <mickster04> !md5 | ruffdog
[03:01] <gaelfx> trav: maybe not as long as you think
[03:01] <alisalaah> Different question, anyone install Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro, does the kernel's drivers allow two finger scrolling?
[03:01] <sacarlson> trav: it looks very well writen,  I just wonder why they us lilo at that one step,  but it says it's tested,  I would chose not to install with wubi
[03:01] <shooood> #dats
[03:01] <bryant_> If anyone is interested, I managed to take a picture of it with my phone.  Can/should I post it here?
[03:01] <obert> hello i was trying to get the apps local path,like kate
[03:02] <mickster04> alisalaah: 2 finger scrolling worked on my asus 900 like years ago
[03:02] <newtoarch> I can not get my Firewall/iptables script to run. When I put in sudo ./script.sh it says command not found.
[03:02] <shooood> #dats@irc.rizon.net
[03:02] <alisalaah> Or are there Bootcamp drivers for Ubuntu, made by community?
[03:02] <Rodolfo> bryant_ upload it to imageshack and then send us the image link here
[03:02] <th0r> newtoarch: did you change the script to be executable?
[03:02] <mickster04> newtoarch: sudo sh ./script.sh
[03:02] <bryant_> I've done so already, let me just copy the link
[03:02] <newtoarch> thor: Thanks lol forgot once again.
[03:02] <mickster04> !mac
[03:03] <mickster04> alisalaah: see above
[03:04] <bryant_> http://tinypic.com/r/snz9ty/7            ----  NOw my initial thought is surely this is display driver issue, huh?
[03:04] <newtoarch> Thanks guys go it.
[03:06] <bryant_> Now I've tried two things.  1.) I saw something through a google search and tried the command "killall gnome-panel" but it said gnome-panel doesn't exist.  So I found something else, but can't remember the command, something like "sudo yada yada install ubuntu-netbook" which was supposedly suuposed to install any missing files or w/e.
[03:06] <ruffdog> mickster04, my MD5Hash is f9fc22d9028ee887701719b32ada8d43 and the one from the website is 59d15a16ce90c8ee97fa7c211b7673a8.  So I guess I need to redownload?
[03:08] <neil__> do flash videos not go to tmp anymore
[03:08] <obert> oh yeah  wich appname
[03:08] <obert> hopefull
[03:08] <bryant_> So what do you guys think?  Anyone have any ideas?
[03:08] <mickster04> ruffdog: yes
[03:08] <openbees> neil: same prob her
[03:09] <ChogyDan> neil__: someone was asking about that the other day.  Apparently the videos are unlinked right after creation
[03:09] <bryant_> Anyone know how to install the latest display driver for my computer with ubuntu?
[03:10] <mickster04> system>pref > hardware drivers ?
[03:10] <mickster04> bryant_: see above
[03:10] <bryant_> I'm on the netbook edition, where would I Find that mickster?
[03:10] <bryant_> I literally just booted into this and am having display issues, so things aren't appearing right.
[03:10] <mickster04> bryant_: oh, go to the applications thing, then type in hardware and it should filter out one with a green icon
[03:11] <bryant_> OK, brb.
[03:11] <openbees> brayant : just go to mickster way u will found
[03:11] <mickster04> bryant_: how did you run sudo apt-get install?

[03:12] <mickster04> alisalaah: it is default
[03:12] <alisalaah> one article i found says to edit a conf file for a touchpad but how do i know if it works for my comp
[03:12] <mickster04> Roasted: uninstall it? :p
[03:12] <bryant_> Oh, I opened terminal.  Then I just copy-paste a command I found online.
[03:13] <Roasted> mickster04, I really dont want to nuke it just yet
[03:13] <bryant_> How do I specify who I'm writing to?
[03:13] <mickster04> alisalaah: as far as i am aware it is include by default
[03:13] <alisalaah> i dont have 2 finger scrolling like macbooks for vertical/horizontal now and im on ubuntu

[03:15] <fsync> ubuntu has switched to shipping chrome-ium instead of firefox, is that right?
[03:16] <mickster04> !chromium
[03:16] <mickster04> fsync: i dunno, i doubt it?
[03:16] <bryant_> mickster04 ok ok!  Anyway, how do I install the hardware driver?  I was unable to find the hardware in the search
[03:16] <gaelfx> fsync: I've never heard anything about that
[03:16] <fsync> i don't really know, i just heard some vague something
[03:16] <mickster04> bryant_: uhm iunno then
[03:16] <gaelfx> fsync: but Chromium is available in the software center pretty readily
[03:16] <fsync> so i'm trying to nail down what it actually is
[03:17] <mickster04> fsync: chromium is chrome, but it doesn't have flash built in :p n(not in my experince anyway)
[03:17] <gaelfx> fsync: I'm fairly certain that that would never happen
[03:17] <gaelfx> or at least not in the near future
[03:17] <fsync> so what is the default web browser in 10.10 (which i don't have yet)?
[03:17] <mickster04> fsync: ff
[03:17] <fsync> kk
[03:17] <gaelfx> if you want to see about what changes are coming up next, go to ubuntu.com/testing
[03:18] <fsync> alrighty, thanks
[03:18] <travmon> squid/adzapper hot topic beaten to death yet ?
[03:19] <gaelfx> I've no idea what either of those are
[03:19] <mickster04> yeah that didn't make much sens
[03:19] <mickster04> sense*
[03:19] <travmon> they auto broke apt
[03:20] <travmon> did not know they were installed in ubuntu
[03:22] <gaelfx> travmon: those are not packages that come installed in ubuntu by default, you would have had to install them yourself, or by adding a PPA or something like that
[03:22] <travmon> gaelfx:  really  :O
[03:23] <travmon> not good
[03:23] <gaelfx> travmon: indeed, I checked in Synaptic, they are available, but not by default
[03:23] <gaelfx> travmon: my guess is that adzapper is the problem, have you tried purging it?
[03:24] <travmon> gaelfx  they busted my girlfriends apt and i never installed them either
[03:25] <travmon> gaelfx: no not yet
[03:25] <gaelfx> travmon: did your gf install them? Like I said, it's possible that you added a ppa and didn't notice that they were part of it. Are there any PPAs on her system?
[03:25] <gaelfx> travmon: go into Synaptic Package Manager and search for adzapper
[03:25] <travmon> gaelfx: she new and did add some ppa's
[03:26] <gaelfx> travmon: well, there ya go. you probably want to find the offending one and remove it, probably just do a double check on the others too
[03:27] <bhagatsr> how can i setup a vpn betweebn two computers?
[03:28] <mickster04> !vpn
[03:28] <travmon> gaelfx: i am going remote again in her box an see,    takes awhile since she is 2000 miles away on business atm
[03:28] <gaelfx> travmon: are you remote desktop or ssh?
[03:28] <valsacar> so my new laptop is a bit odd, the fn keys are mapped in reverse (so I have to hit fn+alt+F2 to get the run command window)  Anyone know of an ubuntu setting to reverse this?
[03:28] <AKuj1n> and what OS
[03:29] <mickster04> AKuj1n: Ubuntu
[03:29] <gaelfx> valsacar: if you find one, let me know, that sounds interesting
[03:29] <travmon> gaelfx: vnc  not sure how to ssh outside my own lan yet
[03:29] <valsacar> gaelfx it's quite irritating actually
[03:30] <mickster04> travmon: same thing ssh username@host
[03:30] <travmon> (blush)
[03:30] <bhagatsr> what will be gateway in vpn connections
[03:30] <gaelfx> valsacar: I can imagine, yeah, I'm looking into it

[03:32] <bhagatsr> i have one comp behind router and another behind a modem both use dynamic addresses can i setup vpn on those?
[03:32] <mickster04> !vpn | bhagatsr
[03:33] <travmon> :)
[03:33] <mickster04> valsacar you may want to bring up the on screen keyboard see if you can't switch the fn lock with that?
[03:33] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: I'm pretty sure VPN is built-in in 10.10, so it shouldn't be a problem
[03:33] <gaelfx> mickster04: he's gone ftm
[03:33] <mickster04> gaelfx: oh damn :/
[03:34] <bhagatsr> 	
[03:34] <bhagatsr> gaelfx: so what should be the gateway address since other computer is behind router
[03:34] <magpiie> good morning folks, any chance anyone could help me with soundcard drivers for an asus laptop running ubuntu 10.10 maverick?
[03:35] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: well, if memory serves, VPN operates on a certain port, so you need to set up the router to forward all traffic on that port to the computer that's running the VPN
[03:35] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: hang on, I'll find out which port
[03:35] <soreau> ubo! audio | magpiie
[03:35] <soreau> ! audio | magpiie
[03:36] <magpiie> at least, i think its a driver issue, basically the sound works fine, but when i plug earphones in, i get sound both through the laptop speakers as well as the earphones, i have fiddled with sound preferences and nothing seems to resolve it
[03:37] <mickster04> magpiie: open up the volume preferences and see if you can't mute the speakers manually?
[03:37] <soreau> magpiie: Try running 'aslamixer' in your terminal. Navigate with arrow keys and toggle mute with m
[03:37] <alisalaah> Is there any side effects if i change the only user's username and home folder?
[03:38] <mickster04> alisalaah: use system>admin>user and groups to change a users name
[03:38] <magpiie> i can mute the speakers manually in preferences but that way also mutes the earphones
[03:38] <soreau> alisalaah: Presumably they would be the same..
[03:38] <mickster04> alisalaah: that will make sure it works properky
[03:38] <alisalaah> but that wont change the home folder's name will it?
[03:38] <joljam> I desperately need help with Adobe Connect. I cannot share my Ubuntu desktop with another person using Adobe connect.. I can see his desktop but I cannot share my desktop
[03:38] <mickster04> alisalaah: if you use the correct program yes?
[03:38] <alisalaah> i named it Home want to name it my name
[03:38] <soreau> magpiie: What sound card is it as per lspci?
[03:38] <alisalaah> oh okay, i havent used ubuntu in awhile and i remember it being an old bug i think? or maybe not
[03:39] <mickster04> alisalaah: you renamed the home folder?
[03:39] <WeThePeople> my computer keeps selecting and deselecting the open window at a high rate of speed. anybody have any ideas
[03:39] <alisalaah> i changed a username and home folder stayed the old name
[03:39] <alisalaah> ill try changing it in about 20 minutes here..
[03:39] <mickster04> alisalaah: how did you change the name?
[03:40] <mickster04> WeThePeople: maybe it is just flashing because it thinks it has a notification for you, have you tried selecting it and something else?
[03:40] <mickster04> WeThePeople: think the orange flashingin windows
[03:40] <magpiie> i am not sure tbh, i am new to ubuntu, how do i get the system info screen up?
[03:40] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: my bad, vpn actually isn't implemented by default, hang on
[03:40] <mickster04> magpiie: apps >(top one)> system monitor
[03:40] <magpiie> ta
[03:40] <mickster04> !vpn | bhagatsr:
[03:41] <WeThePeople> mickster04: no its not that it does it with everything
[03:41] <mickster04> WeThePeople: ok
[03:42] <kevin_> hai.
[03:42] <bhagatsr> gaelfx:actually vpn s/w is installed in 10.10 by default ; i just want to know how to configure it for dynamic addresses. Do i need any special hardware for vpn?
[03:42] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: it's a little trashy and hard to follow, but I think this will get you started at least: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNServer/
[03:43] <Roasted> If I downsize my Ubuntu partition which currently dual boots Ubuntu and Win 7 and install Linux Mint, will Linux Mint thereby take over boot responsibilities? Would I still be triple booting or would Mint only see Win 7?
[03:43] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: well, what I do with my network is I've got DHCP enabled, but I have address reservation set up by MAC address
[03:43] <Xase> join #ubuntuserver
[03:43] <Xase> hmm
[03:43] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: that way, my main box is always on the same IP in the LAN
[03:44] <ruffdog> xase: add a "/" before "join"
[03:44] <magpiie> ok, the system monitor is only showing me processes and minimal system info like cpu and memory
[03:44] <Xase> Yes I know ;)
[03:44] <Xase> I meant to type that.
[03:44] <Xase> There's also a dash in there too
[03:44] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: then you can set up port forwarding, if necessary, though I think if you have upnp enabled, it shouldn't be an issue
[03:44] <ruffdog> xase: I thought that was the case.
[03:45] <Xase> Thanks though ruffdog
[03:45] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: I know pptp is in by default, but I think you actually need to install some other software to get a real vpn running
[03:47] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: I don't really know that you need to set up a gateway or anything like that though
[03:47] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: do you know why my windows are being selected and deselected at a high rate of speed?
[03:47] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: all on there own
[03:48] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: maybe someone has a vnc connection to you?
[03:48] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: I think the pptp only allows you to connect to a VPN, not create one
[03:48] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: vnc?
[03:48] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: do you have an ssh port open?
[03:49] <bhagatsr> 	
[03:49] <bhagatsr> gaelfx:ok, thanks
[03:49] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: it does it with every window i open
[03:49] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: no...idk
[03:49] <Xase> Sos...
[03:49] <Xase> Lol*
[03:49] <Xase> No one's alive in ubuntu-server
[03:49] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: maybe a keyboard problem
[03:50] <mickster04> Xase: wait around
[03:50] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: a little dated, but should still work: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-pptp-vpn-server-with-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[03:50] <crlcan81> I'm trying to update 10.10, did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and when I have it install that and the dependencies related to them, it gives me a 404 not found error. Do I need to change my server for software sources AGAIN?
[03:50] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: what changes did you make last when it started?
[03:50] <bhagatsr> 	
[03:50] <bhagatsr> gaelfx: i'll try to create one server at the pc with router and join it using my pc; then what addresses i'll need to know
[03:51] <mickster04> crlcan81: prolly not, why not use the UI to upgrade
[03:51] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: i installed Lubuntu
[03:51] <crlcan81> I'm trying to teach myself terminal a little.
[03:51] <crlcan81> On the off chance I completely screw up, or have to run things from a command line, I want to know at least enough to try and repair it.
[03:51] <crlcan81> Though I'll always have my run from cd
[03:52] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: try reboot and see if it continues
[03:52] <mickster04> crlcan81: ok, well ime dist upgrades aren't the easiest from terminal
[03:52] <crlcan81> I'm going to try it graphically again
[03:52] <hypatia> mickster04: dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade the version
[03:52] <BHXSpecter> was following a tutorial telling how to install gnome-shell on ubuntu so I could use a tron legacy theme I liked and it got to the reboot part....took me to the terminal login so I told it to remove gnome-shell and now dont know how to fix it....I get a lost graphics device error and taken to terminal login everytime lol
[03:52] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: done that...yes it still continues...should i uninstall lubuntu and reinstall
[03:53] <mickster04> hypatia: well there we go then
[03:53] <crlcan81> gives me the same error, just different description.
[03:53] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: cheers, lemme know if it actually works. I need to set one up back in the States so I can actually access this thing people keep calling the "internet"
[03:53] <crlcan81> failed to download packages.
[03:53] <hypatia> crlcan81: you get the same error when you changed servers?
[03:54] <crlcan81> no I haven't changed servers yet, I mean I got the same error graphically that I got via sudo
[03:54] <crlcan81> just described differently
[03:54] <BHXSpecter> if I type 'X' and hit enter I just get a flash on screen and then a black screen with nothing
[03:54] <hypatia> crlcan81: oh, yeah, that makes sense, it's hitting the same servers :)
[03:54] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: I've never heard anyone with this problem before,  can you try <ctl><alt>+f2  and do ps -A
[03:54] <gaelfx> who wants to take bets on whether they'll mainline the apt-p2p service?
[03:54] <crlcan81> Time to see how bad I screwed up
[03:54] <crlcan81> Doesn't help I'm medicated.
[03:54] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: then to return <ctl><alt> + f7
[03:55] <mickster04> gaelfx: the what now?
[03:55] <rockman125> Is there anyway to repair corrupted files in /bin folder?
[03:55] <mickster04> rockman125: reinstall?
[03:55] <mickster04> !rescue | rockman125
[03:55] <tucemiux> !ot | gaelfx
[03:55] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: I think it's a keyboard thing
[03:55] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: i am using WinXP right now its to annoying to use ubuntu.....what does that do
[03:56] <gaelfx> mickster04: search synaptic for apt-p2p
[03:56] <rockman125> mickster will that affect my files or installed applications?
[03:56] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: it switches to console out of graphic mode
[03:56] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: the ps -A will display all the running processes
[03:56] <crlcan81> Don't know how I keep screwing things up so ever slightly
[03:56] <mickster04> rockman125: if they're broken then i don't see how it matters?
[03:56] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: i will try that and get back with you....will you be in in 15 min?
[03:57] <rockman125> only /bin folder is broken not anything else
[03:57] <hypatia> crlcan81: can you paste the errors you're getting to http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[03:57] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: my guess is you will see random text from some keyboard driver
[03:57] <mickster04> WeThePeople: have you tried unpluggin your keyboard to see if it still haooens :p
[03:57] <rockman125> 15-20 files are corrupted there
[03:57] <mickster04> rockman125: well you back up first then run the rescue
[03:57] <gaelfx> crlcan81: it's cause you're testing the limits of what you can do, it's not such a bad thing
[03:57] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: I should be around
[03:57] <mickster04> rockman125: pretty straight forward
[03:57] <rockman125> ok mickster ty i will try
[03:57] <gaelfx> crlcan81: my theory about linux is if you don't screw up the system at least twice a week, you're doing something wrong
[03:58] <bhagatsr> bye folks
[03:58] <mickster04> gaelfx: i like
[03:58] <gaelfx> mickster04: I know, right?
[03:58] <mickster04> gaelfx: yep:)
[03:58] <MrCleanWithHair> Jag behöver en webbplats som pandora.com för svensk musik?
[03:58] <gaelfx> Swedish?
[03:59] <crlcan81> YAY GAELFX
[03:59] <MrCleanWithHair> ya
[03:59] <MrCleanWithHair> gaelfx, yes
[03:59] <gaelfx> !sv | MrCleanWithHair
[04:00] <gaelfx> MrCleanWithHair: was that right?
[04:00] <Trav> mickster04, gaelfx, just reinstalled. can tell you the error is kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown block 0,0. any suggestions?
[04:00] <grom358> I've ODBC working from command line with isql. But its not working in apache.. has anyone here got ODBC working in php under apache?
[04:00] <gaelfx> crlcan81: hey, how's it going? not so well I take it?
[04:00] <MrCleanWithHair> yes. ubuntu-se is crickets
[04:00] <crlcan81> and with the changes I make to my system constantly I rarely am on for more then a day or two before I'm restarting for some reason, usually a change that makes it prettier or easier for me to alter aspects of.
[04:01] <arand> MrCleanWithHair: And the request is offtopic here, I'm afraid.
[04:01] <crlcan81> no actually gaelfx, it's fine :P waiting on updates, once that's done I'm going to do a quick menu check to remove via sudo some entries.
[04:01] <gaelfx> Trav: it sounds like the partition manager made a mistake, you might need to do it by hand
[04:01] <MrCleanWithHair> arand, this channels so noisy anyway it doesnt really matter does it.
[04:01] <gaelfx> crlcan81: hey, that doesn't sound too bad!
[04:01] <crlcan81> got some multiple programs that do the same thing, going to take out the ones I added that don't work or don't really alter anything at all, becuase it's for the earlier version of Ubuntu.
[04:01] <mickster04> bbl
[04:01] <arand> MrCleanWithHair: It matter exactly bcause of that.
[04:02] <jordan_> hypatia, hey
[04:02] <crlcan81> since I want to alter splash screens and splash screen doesn't do that for me.
[04:02] <crlcan81> gotta restart for kernal update though.
[04:03] <crlcan81> once it's done :(
[04:03] <hypatia> hey jordan_ how is your ubuntu going
[04:03] <hypatia> good luck crlcan81
[04:03] <gaelfx> crlcan81: yeah, it's pretty tough to get around that one, but it actually is possible to update kernel without rebooting
[04:03] <crlcan81> well that's just it, it's saying reboot necessary but it's still configuring via update manager.
[04:03] <crlcan81> like still installing
[04:04] <crlcan81> almost done but.. still. it said restart earlier then necessary.
[04:04] <c-unit> can somebody help me?
[04:05] <grom358> so I'm getting Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
[04:05] <grom358> works fine from command line.. not from php under apache
[04:05] <albert> c-unit, what is your problems
[04:06] <crlcan81> woot
[04:06] <grom358> I've got the environment variables set according to phpinfo()
[04:06] <sxndave> crlcan81 : Ive notice somthing similar before, I believe it changes the toolbar icon for restrat required directly after installing the package that requires the restart. the rest will just finish as normal. You can then restart when you are ready
[04:06] <hypatia> yeah definitely don't restart til it's done installing
[04:06] <c-unit> a proble with conky i dont know if can make that q here
[04:06] <crlcan81> I realize that, just those are quick to act or aren't used to linux would get scared.
[04:06] <gaelfx> is apt-p2p pretty effective for increasing download speed?
[04:07] <albert> c-unit, what
[04:07] <hypatia> crlcan81: yeah, that wording is kinda awkward
[04:07] <coi> hi guys. does the graphical installer for 10.10 not provide a way to do full-disk encryption? or do i still need to use the alternate cd approach?
[04:07] <sxndave> fair point, never thought of it that way tbh
[04:07] <hypatia> c-unit: just ask your question :)
[04:07] <hypatia> coi still need the alternate
[04:07] <coi> thanks hypatia
[04:08] <hypatia> coi: the graphical installer only does homedir encryption
[04:08] <coi> hypatia, thanks :D thats what i thought/had
[04:08] <hypatia> i look forward to the day when FDE is in the main installer :)
[04:08] <gaelfx> hypatia: ah, I was gonna say I thought it did encrypt. Good to know
[04:09] <gaelfx> what's FDE?
[04:09] <c-unit> i tried to compile conky with alsa mixer support and everything seems to work but when i type conky -v theres np support enabled
[04:09] <gaelfx> d'oh, ignore
[04:09] <gaelfx> my acronym recognition software is off today
[04:09] <hypatia> gaelfx: full disk encryption :)
[04:10] <gaelfx> anyone know the cure for choppy smplayer playback?
[04:10] <c-unit> also i run conky and i get the error that theres no dev/mixer
[04:11] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, it doesnt seem to be doing it...when i ran the code everything was norm.
[04:11] <coi> hypatia, does alt. encrypt everything? I dont want to reinstall to find out that it isnt fully enc'd
[04:11] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: so it stoped when you returned?
[04:11] <crlcan81> yay all the unnecessary packages are removed, what exactly is knetattach?
[04:11] <albert> c-unit, i am sorry
[04:11] <gaelfx> you know what would be pretty handy? if there was an easy way to share info about your system with someone trying to help, like they could search through what packages you have installed, system version and stuff like that
[04:12] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, no it never started when i logged into Lubuntu
[04:12] <crlcan81> only one I have no clue if I need or not, the rest I removed I knew I'd not need as I had alternatives alaready installedes
[04:12] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: <ctl><alt> +f7 should have returned you to graphics
[04:12] <Jinxed-> I'm trying to use openshot in ubuntu and it says I need blender 2.5 or later but when I installed it from the ubuntu software center it was version 2.49
[04:12] <Jinxed-> how do I get 2.5
[04:12] <Jinxed->  or later
[04:12] <hypatia> coi: the alt installer lets you do encrypted lvm, which encrypts everything except your kernel
[04:12] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: oh so just the reboot fixed it
[04:12] <gaelfx> Jinxed-: you should check out the PPA for blender
[04:12] <Jinxed-> gaelfx: how would i do that
[04:13] <gaelfx> Jinxed-: just google ubuntu blender ppa
[04:13] <coi> hypatia, thanks
[04:13] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, the reboot fixed it this time, i am sure it will return
[04:13] <hypatia> coi: you're welcome :)
[04:13] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: ok but can't fix it if it aint broke
[04:13] <coi> sucks how the iso is only torrent
[04:13] <hypatia> coi: pick the "encrypted lvm" option
[04:13] <FreezingCold> I just bought a GoDaddy domain, how can I get it to go to my home server?
[04:13] <hypatia> coi: there is an alternate iso for direct download
[04:13] <hypatia> coi: you need to find the "releases" page tho
[04:14] <joljam> I am desperately in need of help. My colleague using a windows machine wants to see my ubuntu desktop. I googled and found that tighvnc was the software to use. However, after installing it and typing in my ip address which starts with 192.168..... my friend gets the message that the connection cannot be established
[04:14] <coi> hypatia, ill check it out
[04:14] <magpiie> ok, i deleted the dock bar at the bottom of my screen and now i don't know how to get it back, any help? sorry, I have only recently come over to ubuntu from microsh*te
[04:14] <coi> hypatia, actually... im getting great dl speed with this :D
[04:14] <gaelfx> joljam: well, if your friend is outside of your LAN, then it won't work that way
[04:14] <intok> Well crap, need the Tux n' Tosh icons from the Art Manager to tie my theme together but it seems to be dead
[04:15] <gaelfx> joljam: use: http://www.whatismyip.com/
[04:15] <hypatia> coi: awesome ;)
[04:16] <gaelfx> joljam: alternatively, your router's page should tell you your global ip
[04:16] <joljam> gaelfx: thanks let me check
[04:16] <duncan_> joljam, are you guys on the same network, or are you trying this over the net?
[04:17] <gaelfx> joljam: oh, another thing that might help is making sure that upnp is enabled on your router
[04:18] <joljam> gaelfx: I am bit ignorant on this: how can I go to my routers webpage
[04:19] <miketomdool> hey is there a way to transfer your existing ubuntu installation to a flash drive?
[04:19] <mikebot> Is it possible that a USB install won't work if my screen resolution is a difficult setting?
[04:19] <hypatia> miketomdool: you could make a bootable flash drive then move your /home over
[04:19] <gaelfx> joljam: go to 192.168.1.1 in your browser
[04:19] <hypatia> miketomdool: that's probably the closest you can get to directly transferring it
[04:20] <miketomdool> ok thanks
[04:20] <joljam> gaelfx: thanks
[04:20] <alisalaah> hypatia, if i just copied my /home to another ubuntu and did nothing else would my user/pass work for login on it and everything?
[04:20] <gaelfx> joljam: no prob
[04:20] <sxndave> miketomdool: there is a tool for generating a distro from your current install, with or without custom applications and settings
[04:20] <mikebot> Or rather, if I know that a bootable USB drive works (tried it on another computer), and it doesn't work on my computer, is there a way to diagnose the problem?
[04:20] <sxndave> miketomdool: once its doen you get an iso you can install to the bootaable media
[04:21] <lahwran> in the places menu in a default ubuntu install, if I add more than 8 bookmarks, it turns it into a submenu. is there a way to tell it to not do that? I have plenty of room on my screen.
[04:21] <gaelfx> joljam: how's comcast's service for you?
[04:21] <miketomdool> some BIOS dont support boot from usb
[04:21] <joljam> gaelfx: its ok
[04:21] <miketomdool> i use a boot manager on a cd to get boot from usb to work
[04:21] <gaelfx> miketomdool: that'd be pretty old BIOS
[04:22] <crlcan81> ok, now then..
[04:22] <miketomdool> or a really sucky bios >.> (pheonex bios)
[04:22] <gaelfx> miketomdool: ah, yeah, that too :P
[04:22] <gaelfx> crlcan81: everything hunky dory?
[04:23] <sxndave> miketomdool: the package for making your own distro for live cds and flash drives is called Remaster
[04:23] <crlcan81> since the ubuntu 'splash screen' is using plymouth, or whatever it's called, is it necessary to have the 'splash screen' installed to alter it, or as it seems like since these are different programs trying to do the same thing, it's a waste of space?
[04:23] <miketomdool> sxndave: thanks i will look for it
[04:23] <crlcan81> I'm talking about the menu entry splash screen
[04:24] <sxndave> miketomdool: not sure if its in repos although i seem to remember it being, some info here http://maketecheasier.com/reconstructor-creating-your-own-ubuntu-distribution/2008/07/05
[04:24] <gaelfx> !plymouth | crlcan81
[04:24] <joljam> gaelfx: I typed in 192.168.1.1 in my browser but I got the message Problem loading page
[04:24] <miketomdool> mikebot: i use http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html to boot usb for bios that dont support it
[04:24] <gaelfx> joljam: did whatismyip not work for you?
[04:25] <miketomdool> sxndave: thanks
[04:25] <mikebot> miketomdool: Thanks, I'll try that... I also just found this: http://technomess.blogspot.com/2010/11/ubuntu-1010-and-lenovo-ideapad-s10-3.html
[04:26] <joljam> gaelfx: i failed to realise that the IP address was given in the top itself for whatismyip
[04:26] <gaelfx> joljam: haha, that's ok. so you found it?
[04:27] <gaelfx> what can I do about choppy playback with vdpau in smplayer?
[04:28] <joljam> gaelfx; is it necessary that I should be connected directly from the modem to the computer without any wireless routers in between
[04:28] <alisalaah> My macbook says no Bluetooth adapters present..
[04:28] <gaelfx> joljam: no, as long as you have upnp enabled on your router, it should be fine
[04:29] <gaelfx> joljam: what does your machine say your ip is?
[04:29] <gaelfx> (ugh, I gotta stop using stupid words for 'computer')
[04:30] <ruijian> hi
[04:30] <intok> gaelfx it's not a machine till it's vodka cooled
[04:31] <gaelfx> intok: I like how you think
[04:31] <magpiie> can someone tell me how i get the dock on my monitor back? i deleted it to try a new addon and everytime i minimize a screen, it minimizes to the deleted dock
[04:32] <Hexbomber_> I have a total noob question on ubuntu. I am using full disk encryption and tried updating and fubar'd things. I want to copy over my home directory and back everything up to a new partition, but i can't mount the drive. Right now I am in a LiveCD and I have tried mounting it but I get the error "Unable to mount 250 GB LVM2 Physical Volume -- Not a mountable file system", can anyone suggest anything here.
[04:32] <coz_> magpiie,   dock  as in cairo dock  or awn  or are you talking about the panel at the bottom or top
[04:32] <gaelfx> magpiie: if you still have the panel on top, you should be able to right-click and add a new panel
[04:32] <coz_> magpiie,   you want to right click >>"add to panel"   window list
[04:32] <magpiie> lol thanks, sorted, proper noob here :P
[04:32] <coz_> magn3ts, cool
[04:32] <gaelfx> coz_ magpiie not add to panel, new panel ;)
[04:33] <crlcan81> I've already got a plymouth chosen, that's why I asked if it was useless to keep the OLD splash screen program menu entry and package installed?
[04:33] <gaelfx> magpiie: nah, that one can be a little tricky for anyone
[04:33] <coz_> gaelfx,  yes I realized that after typing :)
[04:33] <crlcan81> I have been using ubuntu since 8.04
[04:33] <coz_> crlcan81,  cool
[04:33] <sxndave> magpiie: you will need to add the applets back how you want them if you do that, thisnks like the window list etc
[04:33] <articulas> Been so ling since I used irc. Using Unbuntu is like skinny dipping.
[04:34] <crlcan81> I just SOMETIMES get the tutorials for 8.04 9.04 and whatnot because I just search 'blahblah ubuntu' not 'blah blah ubuntu 10.10'
[04:34] <coz_> articulas,  cool ,, refreshing  and sometimes a bit of shrinkage :)
[04:34] <crlcan81> I forget
[04:34] <gaelfx> crlcan81: keep it
[04:34] <crlcan81> that's what I was wondering, since it's.. not actually doing anything
[04:34] <crlcan81> it changes nothing
[04:34] <magpiie> thanks, i managed to figure that bit out, not before panicing that it wasnt showing this window that i minimized to the new dock lol
[04:34] <crlcan81> my splash 'login' doesn't change either.
[04:35] <Braber01> I can't seem to be able to install gcc or g++ on a dumb termnial any idea why?
[04:35] <coz_> Braber01,  the current for your version of ubuntu should already be installed
[04:35] <coz_> Braber01,    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:35] <sxndave> magpiie: you can reset completely back to default if you like but you will loose andy bits you've added to the top panel too. thats the way I usually do it since I don't keep much up there.
[04:35] <hypatia> alisalaah: sorry to disappear - to answer your question, you'd need to add a user as well
[04:35] <hypatia> alisalaah: and maybe reinstall some packages, depending on the system
[04:35] <Braber01> coz_ thank you
[04:36] <ITGeekwhisperer> Kernel panic - not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block 0,0 thats the error not how bout one of you young folks that kickass in ubuntu help me out?
[04:36] <dustin_> HOW DO YOU UPDATE ADOBE FLASH  THROUGH COMMAND LINE
[04:36] <magpiie> thanks, i sorted it out now, no need to reset cheers
[04:36] <coz_> dustin_,  if you installed via apt it should update automatically
[04:37] <coz_> dustin_,  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:38] <Braber01> I keep trying which gcc and which g++ and I get no result.
[04:38] <Braber01> and what was that second command sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[04:38] <magpiie> ok now back to my original problem, whenever i plug the earphones in, i get sound from both speakers and earphones, even after installing the alsamixer, any ideas?
[04:38] <coz_> Braber01,  yes   in terminal also   gcc --version
[04:39] <articulas> do I need to run virus ware with unbuntu?
[04:39] <Braber01> coz_: I've tried the command to find out if it was installed, i.e "which" and it didn't return any locations.
[04:39] <coz_> articulas,  most likely no
[04:39] <cybonix> Dustin did you try sudo apt-get upgrade flash?
[04:39] <coz_> Braber01,  and did  gcc --version have a readout?
[04:40] <Braber01> /bin/sh: gcc: not found
[04:40] <coz_> Braber01,  ooooo
[04:41] <coz_> Braber01,  open synaptic package manager   ,,, hit the Search button type in gcc
[04:41] <Braber01> coz_ I can't I'm on a dumb terminal.
[04:41] <coz_> Braber01,  oo  you are not in GUI  desktop ?
[04:41] <Braber01> coz_: that's correct
[04:42] <coz_> Braber01,  can you get into DE
[04:42] <ozzloy> when i hit suspend on my lenovo x200, the screen blanks, sleep light blinks, but the machine immediately wakes up again. how do i trouble shoot this? so far my google-fu has failed me

[04:42] <coz_> Braber01,   un comment and line starting with   deb
[04:43] <Gitt> I've been out of the loop for some time, does anyone know if ubuntu can be installed on an intel mac ( 2010 ) model, without using bootcamp, or having to do some crazy patching process for grub?
[04:43] <rockman125> Hi, i don't have access to server physically , how do i run rescue there?
[04:43] <sxndave> magpiie: it can usually be done manually from the sound preferences dialog. if you go to the soundpreferences item in the sound menu of the top panel and head to the 'output' tab you can select which ouput to use in the 'connector' dropdown menu
[04:43] <coz_> Braber01,   save it  ctrl+x   then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:43] <cyberjunk502> how to schedule broadband connection to connect at specific time

[04:44] <cyberjunk502> how to schedule broadband connection to connect at specific time
[04:44] <cyberjunk502> using pppoe
[04:45] <magpiie> i have done that, but for some reason, i either get no sound at all, or still sound out of both headphones and speakers, Its annoying becuase i bet it is something really simple too. I have even tried muting the speakers on output but all that does is mute both
[04:45] <sxndave> do they appear as seperate devices in the hardware tab?
[04:46] <magpiie> i have analogue output and anologue headphones as the two options
[04:47] <magpiie> when i plug earphones in, it automatically mutes the speakers, when i choose headphones output, i cant hear anything until i unmute speakers, then i get sound from both earphone and speakers
[04:49] <alisalaah> Is there two versions of "Alt+Tab"? I just installed Ubuntu on wife's macbook and it looks different then on my Asus but I've never customized that?

[04:51] <dr_Willis> !be
[04:51] <sxndave> magpiie: sorry, not sure where to go from there. I had a similar problem back in an older version but i have no idea how i fixed it.
[04:52] <magpiie> a 10 second shot of nerd rage sometimes does the trick, its just really really annoying the hell out of me, i am in the library studying and i cant listen to my music AHHHH

[04:56] <rakesh> o is that a channel
[04:56] <rakesh> thanks
[04:56] <rakesh> because this seems to be a compiler issue?
[04:56] <magpiie> oh well, i will have to leave it for another week, my mate is a linux programmer but he isnt in town till after the weekend, i was trying to get this system sorted before he arrived, he has been banging on at me for the past 8 years about sacking microsoft and jioning the linux community, at least its only the sound i am ahving trouble with. pretty much got my head around everything else so far
[04:58] <Starminn> magpile: Are you grateful for your friend's persistence?
[04:58] <Starminn> Just curious. Despite the issues, thus far how has it been?
[04:59] <rockman125> Hi, i don't have access to server physically , how do i run rescue there?
[04:59] <sxndave> magpiie: glad to hear it. when I first moved over I had a lot of little niggly things like that. It was a real drag as it was easy to end up ina mess after reading countless forum posts and endless commands into the terminal.
[05:00] <Kaleidomorph> So far I'm enjoying my switch to Linux.
[05:00] <thrillERboy> I accidentally uninstalled few packages by sudo apt-get remove evolution*, now whenever I start ubuntu, theres an error GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet error while loading. How to fix this?
[05:01] <magpiie> aye, I had a few small issues like the sound one, basically i was trying to set the 3d desktop to spere and it wouldnt have any of it, 8 hours and 3 you tube videos later, bobs ya uncle, awesome 3d desktop, first thing i always do when installing an operating systme, pimp it up
[05:01] <ben__> What up?
[05:01] <magpiie> sky?
[05:01] <ben__> funny magpiie
[05:01] <ben__> my mate always says sky lol
[05:02] <wrongturn> t
[05:02] <magpiie> My uncle always used to get me with it, guess it rubbed off onto me lol
[05:02] <ben__> lol :P
[05:02] <kevin_> thrillERboy: install evolution lol
[05:03] <ben__> im sync my keys how long does it take usually?
[05:03] <thrillERboy> I'm sure its not the evolution package ;) there are many other evolution packages, I don't know which one is it :/
[05:03] <thrillERboy> coz, I have already removed evolution without any problems

[05:04] <satya> error in creating home directories for the ldap users. could not chdir to /etc/username
[05:05] <Senjai> Hey guys, does anyone know how to mount a remote filesystem?
[05:05] <Senjai> e.g. is there a way to mount my uni's filesystem onto a folder locally.
[05:06] <DouglasK> Question, how do you find which package contains a specific file?
[05:07] <sxndave> Senjai: In nautilus, select 'File > conect to server...'. There are several options of how to do it. You will either need to have ssh access to the remote machine and use that account of ftp access to it.
[05:07] <maco> DouglasK: whats the file?
[05:07] <DouglasK> libflashplayergc.so ..... the flash plugin that comes with Google Chrome.
[05:07] <satya> error in creating home directories for the ldap users. could not chdir to /etc/username
[05:07] <maco> DouglasK: oh if it came with chrome, then it was in the chrome package
[05:07] <satya> error in creating home directories for the ldap users. could not chdir to /home/username
[05:08] <DouglasK> maco: so I would have thought.  I purged Chrome, reinstalled it, and the file is nowhere on my box.
[05:08] <maco> !find libflashplayergc.so
[05:08] <Senjai> sxndave, i have ssh access, is there a command line varient to do it though? I'm aware of the GUI version (perhaps I should have stated so)
[05:08] <maco> DouglasK: ^ its not from an ubuntu package
[05:09] <Senjai> sxndave, and I believe that the GUI version uses sftp, which my uni allows.
[05:09] <DouglasK> maco: K.  I'll dig into the .deb from Google and see what's up.
[05:09] <maco> DouglasK: dpkg --contents foo.deb
[05:09] <maco> DouglasK: to get a list of files in the deb
[05:09] <DouglasK> maco: thanks!
[05:10] <navin> any idea about cross compilation?
[05:10] <sxndave> Senjai: I guess there is but I dont't know it unfortunately, and yeh it can use sftp or ftp in the nautilus method
[05:10] <Senjai> sxndave, yea... neither do I
[05:10] <sxndave> Senjai: Im interested to know myself how to do it from the command line. It would be nice to be able to put a bash script together to mount my remote systems at startup
[05:11] <Senjai> sxndave, sftp uses ssh protocol, ftp uses.. ftp protocol.
[05:11] <Senjai> sxndave, that's what I'm trying to do
[05:12] <sxndave> Senjai: yes and you can choose to use either when connecting via nautilus. I would use sftp from the cli though in order to be able to authenticate using keys instead of putting the password in the script
[05:12] <JeffCBR|away> How do I access my CDROM drive?
[05:13] <Senjai> sxndave, I'd either prompt for a password on startup, or make it so the script cant be read by anyone except me
[05:13] <Senjai> JeffCBR|away, using the mount command
[05:13] <svetlio> Hi all
[05:13] <motion> hi
[05:13] <miketomdool> it might automatically mount it as /media/cdrom
[05:14] <Senjai> JeffCBR, check the /media/cdrom if its there, if its not, type mount /dev/cdrom
[05:14] <motion> I would like some help recovering my dual-boot ability with grub2 -- it seems to have not been installed after i installed maverick 10.10
[05:14] <ITGeekwhisperer> can anyone help with a dual boot issue? just dl'd and installed ubuntu 10.10 (used the "install along side" method) .. when I restart and try the ubuntu it says.. Kernel panic -- not syncing VFS unable ti mount root fs on unknown block 0,0      could really use the help and some sleep

[05:15] <Senjai> !ask jose-neto
[05:15] <Senjai> Logan_WP perhaps you would know how to answer my previous question?
[05:15] <jose-neto> ubottu,i nstalled ubuntu 11.0 but the bars and window borders are not showing
[05:15] <Senjai> Logan_WP, you just joined so I'll repeate it
[05:16] <jose-neto> ubottu  i nstalled ubuntu 11.0 but the bars and window borders are not showing
[05:16] <IdleOne> !11.04 | jose-neto
[05:16] <miketomdool> jose-neto: ubottu cant respond to you
[05:16] <motion> what I have done this time, which is a bit different then most times when I've installed ubuntu is I've used one hard disk - 500mb, windows has half and linux has half, 250 - so linux being linux I've given it a 20gb SWAP and a 210gb EXT4 -- after installing ubuntu using the manual-partitioner via ubuntu installer it fails to boot through GRUB giving me no selection of OS, just booting into ubuntu
[05:17] <Senjai> Logan_WP, do you know how to mount a remote filesystem locally? (The GUI does this via Places -> Connect To Server) I'm looking for the command line equivalent in order to set up a bash script
[05:17] <jose-neto> ubotto  do you have any idea how can i downgrade it
[05:17] <ITGeekwhisperer> can anyone help with a dual boot issue? just dl'd and installed ubuntu 10.10 (used the "install along side" method) .. when I restart and try the ubuntu it says..

[05:20] <sxndave> Senjai: check out the package 'sshfs'
[05:20] <jose-neto> ubottu no one responds my message in #ubuntu+1
[05:20] <Senjai> sxndave, it wants its own usergroup, It doesn't have to be done that way
[05:20] <motion> if I am running GRUB2, will the "grub-install -v" return this :grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 ?
[05:20] <kevin_> ubottu hello
[05:20] <Senjai> sxndave, if Ubuntu can already do it via the GUI, there has to be a way to do it via the command line
[05:20] <g_0_0> motion, in terminal -> sudo update-grub   -- should do the trick
[05:21] <Senjai> sxndave, and I have no intention of creating a user in which the application has full rights to
[05:21] <miketomdool> is there a command line program to watch videos?
[05:21] <xangua> miketomdool: mplayer
[05:21] <miketomdool> oh wow cool
[05:21] <bowentwo> 1 TB HD Windows 7 2 TB Ubuntu installation was a breeze but when i rebooted i went straight to windows can anyone help me fix it? i'm in live cd now not sure what to do next... thank you in advance for the help.
[05:22] <miketomdool> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[05:22] <sxndave> Senjai: I wouldnt either, but im inclined to think that that functionality is either part of nautilus or gnome as I could not do it in xubuntu without installing nautilus and fudging it to be the default file manager with a link
[05:22] <BHXSpecter> is there a way to restore gdm to the ubuntu installation from the live cd without reinstalling everything ?
[05:22] <motion> g_0_0, ...update-grub generated a grub.cfg but, all I see is that it has found only "linux img: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic", "initrd img: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic", and lastly memtest86+ img
[05:22] <sxndave> BHXSpecter: just teh panels?
[05:23] <Senjai> sxndave, I can map network filesystems, but I cant mount remote filesystems that require authentication.
[05:23] <motion> g_0_0,  shouldnt there be a "/windows"  or something present?
[05:24] <jose-neto> senjai
[05:24] <jose-neto> Senjai i need heelp
[05:24] <BHXSpecter> sxndave: well I was following a tutorial to install gnome-shell so I could get a tron legacy theme working and I rebooted when it told me to but suddenly  I got blank screen with errors about losing graphics/monitor/etc settings and sent to the console login so I booted up live cd hoping to fix without a full reinstall
[05:24] <g_0_0> motion, can you check in system->administration-> startup manager and see what options are listed under default operation system
[05:24] <jose-neto> Senjai Ubottu could not help me
[05:24] <intok> yay / nay? http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Icons/Tux-n-Tosh-Icons-Reloaded-52313.shtml
[05:25] <jose-neto> help

[05:27] <Senjai> jose-neto, then wait, and ask again later, or ask on the ubuntu forum
[05:27] <BHXSpecter> guess Ill have to tackle my issue tomorrow morning then cause the silence tells me it is harder than I had hoped lol
[05:27] <sxndave> BHXSpecter: beyond my expertise I feel
[05:28] <jose-neto> Senjai the problem is that i need to navigate on this computer to back up my data
[05:28] <sxndave> BHXSpecter: was just checking out some threads i had bookmarked
[05:28] <Senjai> BHXSpecter, that seem like a complicated problem, for the super complex problems try the forums, and post logs.
[05:28] <BHXSpecter> *shrugs* may just do reinstall, make a day of re installing updates and apps again
[05:28] <jose-neto> if i could back up my data would be better
[05:28] <Senjai> jose-neto, have you tried booting into single user mode?
[05:28] <ruffdog> mickster04, wanted to let you know I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 desktop again.  Checked the hash, it was good.  Installed perfectly.  Tks for you help on that.

[05:29] <jose-neto> Senjai how do i do that

[05:29] <motion> ubottu, pastebin\

[05:32] <GKA> Hi everyone. Here's my issue: Visual Effects reset on restart. I have tried many attempts to correct this. My alternative is to reconfigure my settings to equal to that of when I start Ubuntu from a live CD. I'm using 10.04. Any helpers?
[05:32] <jose-neto> Senjai , give me a minute
[05:33] <RPG-Master_> crlcan81: RPGs WOOT
[05:33] <Starminn> soreau: For what it's worth, I got the same output as Senjai gave you
[05:33] <motion> g_0_0, ive run into a problem like this before which took forever to solve and i dont remember the steps, so to avoid this i had formatted completely after using ubuntu10 as standalone, but now due to compatibility issues I would like to dual-boot windows/linux and the grub doesnt seem to have co-operated with me
[05:33] <Senjai> Hi Starminn :)
[05:33] <Starminn> Hi.
[05:33] <Starminn> Going to bed. See ya. :)
[05:34] <Senjai> olimones_ do you know the folder?
[05:34] <kevin_> GKA: driver issue?
[05:35] <DandyKoffin> hey guys. no one in #winehq will help me with this. I can't use hotkeys for spells in diablo II. Anyone know how to fix it?
[05:35] <Senjai> !ot | Dand
[05:35] <g_0_0> motion, do you have a raid?
[05:35] <jose-neto> Senjai ,and what else
[05:35] <DandyKoffin> #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:35] <Senjai> jose-neto, sorry I have to go, once your in recovery mode, you can copy all your files over to a seperate disk (I think thats what you wanted)
[05:36] <jose-neto> yep
[05:36] <jose-neto> but how
[05:37] <GKA> kevin_: could be. I never used the proprietary driver when I installed 10.04 for the first time. I tried the fglrx fix, compiz, save settings, etc. Now I want to know what drivers are installed from the Live CD. Is there any way to get a list?
[05:37] <Senjai> jose-neto, have you logged into recovery mode
[05:38] <motion> g_0_0, no im not using raid... and you know what -- ive just been thinking, i think i may have installed ubuntu incorrectly -- ext4 is mounted at / and thats the only mount point along side 'swap' ....i just realised before formatting i had /, /home, /boot -- i beleive
[05:39] <crlcan81> How would I go about changing the login screen? what program would do the actual background and icon?
[05:40] <soreau> Senjai: Thanks, dvd playback works again now :)
[05:40] <motion> !pastebin
[05:40] <Senjai> soreau, good to hear :) anytime
[05:41] <sxndave> crlcan81: you can change the icon set by editing the theme in 'system > preferences > appearence'

[05:42] <crlcan81> ouch
[05:42] <Senjai> crlcan81, what I wanted ubottu to do is point you to a GNOME configuration site
[05:42] <bazhang> !themes > crlcan81
[05:43] <Senjai> Thank you bazhang :)
[05:46] <g_0_0> motion, sorry I'm on the phone perhaps somebody else could help you with your boot problem
[05:47] <crlcan81> I found part of the problem.
[05:47] <motion> g_0_0,  no problems, thanks anyhow.
[05:47] <crlcan81> For some reason administration has login screen, but not login window. screen lets me select users and whatnot, but not install themes. There's no theming access in it.
[05:48] <bazhang> crlcan81, gdm2 is not terribly configurable
[05:48] <crlcan81> So basically the eyecandy help associated with GDM is out of date.
[05:50] <log_15> hi
[05:50] <log_15> can you help me
[05:50] <crlcan81> only 'configuration' available I've found is if you do synaptic and search gdm theme, but that also pulls up splash and mouse during GDM.
[05:50] <bazhang> log_15, ask a question
[05:51] <pr3zident> hello people ? can somebody tell me how to join 2 avi files i used cat file.avi file2.avi ? file3.avi and then mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy file3.avi -o file_final.avi but it still only plays the first video after cat ?

[05:58] <pr3zident> thanx i will
[05:58] <Valkyrie> For some reason, people can't connect to it directly.

[05:58] <Senjai|AFK> Valkyrie, i don't know what icecast is, but if I don't have to install anything I will

[06:06] <PokeTehPenguin> Hi everyone, I seem to have a problem with Ubuntu 10.10 and my laptop wireless card not being compatible with it... In using WUBI to dual boot Ubuntu and windows 7, I am using a Dell Inspiron 14R(N4010) and I got it to connect to wifi, but will not load pages, so I am going to do yet another fresh install and need some help to get my wireless working. Does anyone have the time to help me out to fix my wireless once WUBI installs

[06:33] <Raj_Sagi> battery prob

[06:35] <gaelfx> [biabia]: did you check for a PPA?
[06:35] <[biabia]> gaelfx: no, not sure how/what you mean
[06:36] <gaelfx> [biabia]: actually, I'm pretty sure there is no reader x for linux yet
[06:36] <[biabia]> ok
[06:36] <dravekx> so, can you put a group inside a group?
[06:36] <gaelfx> [biabia]: if it's not on adobe's website, then I can't imagine that it actually exists

[06:38] <dpierce> dhanesh: fsck
[06:38] <gaelfx> dhanesh: you can use Disk Utility
[06:38] <CodeYeti> Should I put the java JDK in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/lib or what?
[06:38] <pikini> PokeTehPenguin, can you give me the log
[06:39] <alisalaah> Is there any way to make the Ubuntu splash come up as soon as computer is powered on or wakes from suspend without any of the text displaying? (this will prevent family nagging me that they think something is broken possibly)

[06:41] <pikini> PokeTehPenguin, got it
[06:41] <PokeTehPenguin2> Alright
[06:41] <alisalaah> CodeYeti, i thought it was /usr/lib/jvm
[06:41] <PokeTehPenguin2> Sorry, using iPod and laptop at the same time
[06:42] <gaelfx> dhanesh: open Disk Utility, select the drive
[06:42] <gaelfx> dhanesh: if your drive has S.M.A.R.T. it should tell you right away if there are bad sectors or not
[06:42] <CodeYeti> alisalaah, Is there some linux for idiots tutorial out there that would explain to me the meaning of this directory structure?
[06:43] <gaelfx> CodeYeti: everything starts at '/', you're on your own from there ;)
[06:43] <alisalaah> CodeYeti, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/DirectoryStructure
[06:43] <darkthawt> haha
[06:44] <[biabia]> everything starts with an e
[06:44] <alisalaah> CodeYeti, "/usr/lib for libraries which cannot be directly run but are essential for running other programs. Your package manager takes care of the things in /usr for you."
[06:44] <ilea> hi all
[06:45] <gaelfx> howdy
[06:45] <gaelfx> dhanesh: did you figure it out?
[06:45] <CodeYeti> alisalaah, Except for apparently installing the JDK
[06:45] <ruffdog> PokeTehPenguin, I realize pikini is helping you, but did you check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported to see if your card was supported?
[06:46] <ilea> can anyone tell me a good CAD program for drawing plans and for drawing the plan of a building and other things. I need for a profesor?
[06:46] <alisalaah> CodeYeti, try "apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre"
[06:46] <gaelfx> CodeYeti: are you installing from the package manager or did you download it and are trying to do it yourself?
[06:46] <PokeTehPenguin> ruffdog: Let me see...
yes but i want to scan the disc like norton disk checkup?
[06:47] <alisalaah> CodeYeti, you may need to add "sudo"
[06:47] <darkthawt> If I backup my /opt/ directory, does that mean I don't have to reinstall applications that exist in it?

[06:48] <thauriswulfa> ilea:freecad
[06:48] <exitdescription> yeah ruffdog
[06:48] <CodeYeti> gaelfx, I was trying to do it myself. Does the package manager version contain the lastest version immediately?
[06:48] <alisalaah> CodeYeti, many packages you can use "-current"
[06:48] <gaelfx> CodeYeti: no, it doesn't contain the latest version immediately, but you might be better off looking for a PPA
[06:48] <ruffdog> exitdescription, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765360 maybe that helps.
[06:49] <gaelfx> !ppa | CodeYeti
[06:49] <darkthawt> gaelfx: wasn't sure, usually used the package manager do everything for me.
[06:49] <gaelfx> CodeYeti: chances are someone has already done what you want to do and has made it easier for others to do it as well, google for ubuntu jdk ppa
[06:49] <ilea> freecad is not so good i need a complex one to help me draw a full house plan including bath utilitis and other stuff

[06:52] <CodeYeti> alisalaah, Sorry to keep bugging you, but how did you get that package name?
[06:52] <gaelfx> ilea: you could search in Synaptic for CAD and see if anything looks halfway decent, but my inclination is to say that good CAD software is bought with real money
[06:52] <alisalaah> Google
[06:52] <mehdi> is there any program that shows available INTERNET connection with their infos?
[06:52] <KB1JWQ> RollerDK: Ask.
[06:52] <alisalaah> I had to install JDK 3 times in the last week
[06:52] <sdollins> Could someone perhaps tell me what 4 dots rotating between red and white means on the screen after grub?
[06:52] <alisalaah> I am a J2EE dev at work and was moving to Ubuntu on a couple comps
[06:52] <alisalaah> that got me running with jdk 1.6
[06:53] <gaelfx> sdollins: sounds like a bad graphics driver
[06:53] <darkthawt> gaelfx: I've been using Maple that is installed in /opt and hate going through the installation process.
[06:53] <rumpe1> mehdi, "netstat tulpen"
[06:53] <RollerDK> now the challenge question is "please type closeup without the close", any answer? :P
[06:53] <KB1JWQ> up
[06:53] <rystraum> type up
[06:53] <sdollins> gaelfx, it's a server if it matters..
[06:53] <steven__> Hello every one. I'm a newer .
[06:53] <Jeruvy> sdollins: thats the hal/?? stage prior to loading user profiles.
[06:53] <alisalaah> RollerDK, "up"
[06:54] <gaelfx> darkthawt: well, if you really want to keep something safe in case you ever need to reinstall, you should set up '/' and '/home' on separate partitions and install any apps like that into your '/home' directory
[06:54] <thauriswulfa> steven_:hi steven
 how can i check using terminal /
[06:54] <sdollins> Jeruvy, i'm not in the datacenter so i'm not exactly sure what it's doing. he just said it's doing that after grub
[06:54] <gaelfx> sdollins: oof, well, that's certainly not my area of expertise, you might wanna try to find someone with a better idea of what's going on with that
[06:54] <RollerDK> ok, thanks It was literal meaning. I was trying to look up for meaning, thanks gyus :)
[06:55] <sdollins> We just moved drives into a new chassis.
[06:55] <gaelfx> dhanesh: fsck is probably the best
[06:55] <Jeruvy> sdollins: thats normal.
[06:55] <darkthawt> gaelfx: I keep every my documents for /home, a partition that exists in home sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the tip.
 so what i want to do how?
[06:55] <darkthawt> gaelfx: all my documents*
[06:55] <sdollins> Jeruvy, so this is normal? how long should it take?
[06:55] <mehdi> @rumpel is that program belongs to germany?
[06:55] <CodeYeti> alisalaah, the sun-java6-jdk package is unavailable. If it matters, I'm on 10.04 because I wanted to run in virtualbox without issues
[06:56] <gaelfx> darkthawt: yeah, it's something that they really need to make an option on default installs. when you're setting up partitions, it's best to keep some things separate
[06:56] <gaelfx> dhanesh: you should type 'man fsck' and see what it can do
[06:57] <darkthawt> gaelfx: I manually partition my OS installation
 i saw  but i didnt understand
[06:58] <gaelfx> dhanesh: ok, you just want to check your disk for errors?
[06:58] <dpierce> dhanesh: 'sudo fsck --help'
[06:58] <syrinx> anyone  here?
[06:59] <dpierce> alternatively you can fsck.$ . where '$' is the filesystem of the drive
[06:59] <gaelfx> dhanesh: maybe we should start over, why do you want to check your disk for errors?
yes bad sectors
[06:59] <cwheeler> can I install raid 5 using the ubuntu desktop dvd?
[06:59] <dhanesh> in windows it showd that had bad sectors
[07:00] <sdollins> cwheeler, software raid?
[07:00] <ruffdog> asdf
[07:00] <syrinx> jkl;
[07:00] <ruffdog> asdfasdf
[07:00] <Jeruvy> dhanesh: what does SMART tell you?
[07:00] <rumpe1> mehdi, no.. it's a usual cli command
 2 bad sectors
[07:01] <cwheeler> yes software raid
[07:01] <mehdi> @rumpel is that netstat?
[07:01] <Jeruvy> dhanesh: you should fix them, then seek a new drive.
[07:01] <ZummiG777> Question: I have a dual monitor setup.  Is there a way to have individual backgrounds in each monitor?
[07:01] <rumpe1> mehdi, yes
[07:02] <mehdi> @rumpel well tanx and wat exactly Nmap do?
[07:02] <immy> so if i want to copy the encrypted data with dd i need to use low level /dev/sdx which has no directory structure - in other words all i can do is a low level copy
[07:02] <gaelfx> Jeruvy: 2 bad sectors isn't really a big deal, nothing to buy a new drive over anyhow
[07:02] <rumpe1> mehdi, port scanning e.g.
[07:03] <ruffdog> ZummiG777, check out http://crimm.me/2009/04/multiple-monitors-multiple-wallpapers-ubuntu-9-04.html  See if that helps
[07:03] <mehdi> ok
[07:03] <peakone> 这个IRC怎么用？
[07:03] <ZummiG777> Thanks ruffdog!
[07:03] <cwheeler> sdollins: I want to install software raid 5 on my desktop system, I've used it before
[07:03] <Jeruvy> gaelfx: Better to have a spare ready, than to find yourself without if the drive decides to go south quickly.
[07:04] <sdollins> I think you'll need the text installer and you need a raid1 /boot partition
[07:04] <dpierce> !ubuntu-cn
[07:05] <gaelfx> !cn | peakone
[07:06] <gaelfx> Jeruvy: I've got 11 bad sectors, been that way for months
[07:07] <Jeruvy> gaelfx: sorry whats the question?
[07:09] <cwheeler> thanks sdollins, I know about the /boot partition
[07:09] <cwheeler> I'm testing ram now

[07:13] <dravekx> ok, who asked me about the group inside group thing?
[07:13] <dravekx> internet went down...
[07:14] <gaelfx> dravekx: it was kinda rhetorical, I was wondering why you would need that, why you wouldn't just make 2 separate groups
[07:15] <wizz> anyone know how to merge "undf"  file in ubuntu?
[07:16] <dravekx> gaelfx, i have 3 uses jailed in their home folders with public_html folders for web pages. I set up a group called www-group, and i set the permissions fo the folders as USER1:www-group. But now, I need to add www-data also because one of them said wordpress will not install correctly.
[07:17] <dravekx> I read somewhere that you shouldnt use www-data on every folder because it's a security risk, or evidently I don't have a clue what I'm doing. lol
[07:17] <dravekx> I made www-group because I need some users to have full access to all home directories.
[07:18] <wizz> anyone know how to merge "undf" file in ubuntu? "undf" is undefined format for media. i used VLC but it won't work.
[07:18] <sdollins> What is the kernel package?

[07:29] <nraic> My system has started freezing and I'm trying to figure out why. It can work ok for a few hours and then just freezes.
[07:29] <louzer> How do I install https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/screem on Ubuntu Maverick using Synaptic? In other words how do I add the repo for the said URL so I get all the dependencies?
[07:29] <gaelfx> apparently I need to get help during daylight hours in the western hemisphere
[07:29] <syrinx> @nraic is it overheating?
[07:30] <nraic> The only thing I have changed is physically moved the machine to a new location and installed a wifi card.
[07:30] <nraic> syrinx, I'm not sure but I don't think so. I have a really good case with great ventaltion.
[07:31] <pw-toxic__> hi

[07:33] <nraic> I enter acpi -t into my terminal
[07:33] <nraic> and
[07:33] <syrinx> it should report something
[07:33] <nraic> it does nothing

[07:43] <slink> hello. i'm running ubuntu lucid (10.04 LTS/server), and after doing an "apt-get upgrade", i get a "permission denied" on /dev/null from non-root users. i've tried adjusting /lib/udev/devices/null permissions to 666, along with /dev/null, but they keep changing back (even if i don't reboot)
[07:43] <gaelfx> louzer: yeah, sorry about that, it was the first thing that came to mind :P

[07:43] <gaelfx> amit: I don't know, is there a support channel for virtual box you could ask in?

[07:51] <Senjai|AFK> amit, gaelfx, though gaelfx is correct, if there is a support medium (forums, irc, etc) for your software it would be best to use it

[08:05] <happyaron> If I use vpn to access the internet, will DNS queries also be sent via VPN? (openvpn)
[08:05] <slink> happyaron: that depends
[08:05] <slink> happyaron: if the VPN modifies your resolv.conf file to use a DNS server on the remote network, it will. hwoever, if you are on an internal network (outside the VPN), and DNS queries go to a local server, then they won't
[08:05] <edwardteach> gaelfx,   a cpu should be able to manage any load, and not overheat!
[08:05] <slink> happyaron: hoever, if you are directly on the internet, or using a nameserver directly on the internet, and you setup a VPN, the queries will go over the VPN if your default route is set to the VPN
[08:05] <slink> however*
[08:05] <happyaron> slink: how to determine which way I am using?

[08:34] <mattcen> Hi all. Has anybody found the latest Firefox update for Lucid causes Firefox to consistently start in Offline mode, regardless of the user's profile setting? I have two Lucid systems, one does it, the other doesn't.
[08:34] <syrinx> lol probably
[08:34] <Kaleidomorph> 3 splits already in the last little while.
[08:34] <coz_> Kaleidomorph,  that one I cant help with I am on 11.04
[08:34] <syrinx> ive mastered ubuntu settings
[08:34] <syrinx> i guess
[08:34] <cast> to master ubuntu is to master linux, gnu, and a few other things
[08:34] <syrinx> 11.04 tho?
[08:35] <syrinx> is that even out?
[08:35] <coz_> syrinx,  no it is not
[08:35] <syrinx> didnt think so
[08:35] <syrinx> im on 10.10.04?
[08:35] <coz_> syrinx,  in terminal     lsb_release -a
[08:36] <syrinx> 10.10 mav
[08:36] <syrinx> thought that was the latest
[08:36] <coz_> syrinx,  it is indeed :)
[08:36] <syrinx> unless your an insider?
[08:36] <syrinx> lol
[08:36] <coz_> syrinx, 11.04 is out there for testing
[08:37] <syrinx> nice
[08:37] <syrinx> think you could help me out setting up a server?
[08:37] <coz_> syrinx, if you wish to listen in on some reports  or join in at some point you would have to go to the #ubuntu+1  channel
[08:38] <syrinx> im there
[08:38] <cast> nc -p 80 -l|bash - # bam! shell server, setup

[08:39] <chaojituzi1_> who
[08:40] <chaojituzi1_> did they have any one here

[08:40] <syrinx> well
[08:40] <kiwilatham> I am here.
[08:40] <gmachine_24> a very deep subject
[08:40] <syrinx> i have had ubuntu 10.10 for like 5 months now
[08:40] <coz_> chaojituzi1,  I think there may have been a server down or somethings  a  "net split"
[08:40] <coz_> syrinx,  ok
[08:40] <syrinx> exclusively, no dual book
[08:41] <syrinx> boot*
[08:41] <coz_> ok
[08:41] <kiwilatham> do people still dual boot?
[08:41] <coz_> kiwilatham,  I do always
[08:41] <gmachine_24> kiwilatham, are you from en zed?
[08:41] <syrinx> and i love it, ivea learned alot of commands and inner workings if you will
[08:41] <thauriswulfa1> QUESTION:  i just intalled festival, but there's no link in menu?
[08:41] <coz_> syrinx,  understood
[08:42] <coz_> thauriswulfa1,  I believe festival is terminal accessed  but I would read more about it on the net
[08:42] <syrinx> i have an old machines downstairs that has 300gig of HSS space that I would like to install server on
[08:42] <coz_> syrinx,  sounds like a good plan
[08:42] <coz_> syrinx,  what is the issue?
[08:42] <kiwilatham> hmmm.  I just put my microshaft os on a Virtual Machine.  Virtual Box is pretty good.  Seems I hardly ever fire the thing up these days.  My linux does everything I need.
[08:42] <syrinx> but im having a hard time gettin the network card to work
[08:42] <thauriswulfa1> coz_:there should have some gui?
[08:42] <chaojituzi1> i`m a new man
[08:42] <gmachine_24> wow that was a let down
[08:42] <coz_> syrinx,  ah ok
[08:43] <coz_> thauriswulfa1,   I dont think so but let me check for sure hold on
[08:43] <syrinx> so the install isn't easy
[08:43] <syrinx> because I can't connect
[08:43] <kiwilatham> are you sure the network card is actually working.  Physically I mean?
[08:43] <mattcen> Ah it turns out that on the problematic system I was running (but not using) NetworkManager, which was "helpfully" informing Firefox that my system was "offline'. Disable/stop NetworkManager, and problem goes away. Hooray!
[08:43] <MACscr> grrr, i dont get it, no matter what i select in ubuntu, its using my hdmi for sound output
[08:44] <syrinx> i believe it is...should i go down there and check?
[08:44] <coz_> thauriswulfa1,  festival is "text to speech"   it doesnt have an interface  ,, it will work with any application that needs test to speech...  you could open a terminal and type     man festival
[08:44] <coz_> syrinx,  what is on that system right now in terms of OS
[08:44] <thauriswulfa1> coz_ , thanx for help, i will try it
[08:45] <syrinx> its completely formatted to ext3 i believe
[08:45] <syrinx> nothing installed
[08:45] <gmachine_24> syrinx, nothing?
[08:45] <coz_> syrinx,  oh I see... did you test internet access with the live cd?
[08:45] <syrinx> nothing
[08:45] <syrinx> no i didn't
[08:46] <coz_> syrinx,  that would be the first step
[08:46] <syrinx> let me go try it
[08:46] <gmachine_24> syrinx, I might be vague, but don't you at least need the drivers?
[08:46] <syrinx> exactly
[08:46] <llutz_> syrinx: how do you expect to connect to the "server" if nothing runs on it?
[08:46] <syrinx> my problem is i have no idea how to get the drivers without an internet connection
[08:47] <gmachine_24> ahhh
[08:47] <coz_> syrinx,  test with an ubuntu desktop live cd
[08:47] <gmachine_24> syrinx, from a disc.......... or usb drive
[08:47] <kiwilatham> syrinx: I was hoping we could see if it shows up in your OS at all.  IE: Is it enumerated in dmesg or lspci?  Is it a PCI card?
[08:47] <coz_> syrinx,  if that works you can download the minimal install cd   which is only  megs and at one point it will prompt you to install things including a server
[08:48] <cast> 'a server' for what?
[08:48] <coz_> syrinx,  the minimal install cd is only 12 megs
[08:48] <gmachine_24> it's as good as cake and fewer calories
[08:49] <gmachine_24> so... did everyone see that an Egyptian gentleman named his daughter "Facebook"...? I think this is a hoax
[08:50] <syrinx> sry, hadda move down there to work on this thing
[08:50] <gmachine_24> meanwhile, in tripoli
[08:50] <kiwilatham> ok - see ya.  Srynx: Try lspci and see if you can see details of your PCI network card.  Also try searching through the output of dmesg for details of your card.  If it shows up there then we have a software issue.  These days it's hard to find a nic that is not supported in linux.

[09:03] <MACscr> cant seem to figure out why
[09:03] <MACscr> The correct one is selected
[09:04] <gmachine_24> Has anyone tried installing Android to run on their Linux/Ubuntu desktop (or laptop)?
[09:05] <Stormx2> MACscr: just run it, then at the prompt type "help"
[09:05] <MACscr> gmachine_24: without an emulator, thats impossible
[09:05] <cast> MACscr: no it's not.
[09:05] <MACscr> Stormx2: ive tried that. Im confused by the term sink though
[09:05] <MACscr> cast: of course it is, you cant simply run a os on top of another os
[09:06] <rockman125> can you guys help me with this http://pastebin.com/fUSbMXTc ?
[09:06] <MACscr> without some sort of virtualization/emulation
[09:06] <gmachine_24> so is that a yes or a no?
[09:06] <immy> thx coz
[09:07] <extra11> heh
[09:08] <gmachine_24> "Download and install the Android SDK (Software Development Kit), which comes with an Android Emulator."
[09:08] <gmachine_24> happy now?
[09:09] <mickster04> gmachine_24: well do  it and tell #ubuntu-offtopic what happens
[09:09] <gaelfx> what can I do to fix choppy playback using vdpau in smplayer?
[09:09] <gmachine_24> okie
[09:09] <coz_> gaelfx,   are all codecs installed?  and also try vlc to see if you get the same results
[09:09] <MACscr> gmachine_24: you never said you wanted to install the sdk
[09:10] <gaelfx> coz_: yeah, the codecs are installed, vlc runs it fine, but vlc doesn't use vdpau
[09:10] <coz_> gaelfx,  mm hold on let me check on t hat
[09:11] <gmachine_24> zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[09:11] <MACscr> i cant stand morons
[09:11] <joeoshawa> i am playing wmv files using video player but i have to close and restart it after each video any idea why?
[09:11] <gaelfx> coz_: thanks
[09:11] <joeoshawa> if i double click a second video i just get a black screen
[09:13] <joeoshawa> it just started today
[09:13] <coz_> gaelfx,  apparenlty on this forum there are links to vlc  git  with vdpau patches   http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=53928&start=30
[09:14] <coz_> gaelfx,  also make sure the system is completely updated   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:14] <p896gbm> hi folks. i have a RAID question. i have an external 1TB usb harddrive which had been flaking out for a few weeks and stopped responding entirely, so i disassembled it and found two regular 512MB drives. i took them out and added them to my computer and both seem to work fine; no smart failures or anything. one of them contains the start of the filesystem; fsck says the filesystem size is twice the drive size. the other has no superblock.
[09:14] <p896gbm> since this appears to be a simple raid array, my question is how do i assemble it so i can rescue the data?
[09:15] <gaelfx> coz_: yes, the system is totally updated, but you don't understand, I didn't have this problem in 10.04 and I really would prefer not to use git just to get vlc working
[09:15] <ikonia> p896gbm: what technology is controlling the raid array
[09:15] <bullgard> [LAN] '~$ arp' shows on computer »T43« "Address=noname", "HWaddress=00:0a:e4:...". But that computer shows '~$ hostname; MD97600'. How to accomplish that on computer »T43« '~$ arp' will show  "Address=MD97600", "HWaddress=00:0a:e4:..."?
[09:16] <ikonia> bullgard: that is a networking question
[09:16] <joeoshawa> strange it stoped doing it
[09:16] <coz_> gaelfx,  mm  then I am not sure where to go from here... hold on let me check one more thing
[09:16] <joeoshawa> thanks anyway
[09:16] <MACscr> anyone know what "sink-inputs" means in pacmd? They mention the term sink many times
[09:16] <joeoshawa> odd i didn't do anything
[09:17] <gaelfx> coz_: thanks again
[09:17] <p896gbm> ikonia: no clue. it's just a very small circuit board that connected both drives. it has two sata ports, two hdd power connectors, a connector for a power adapter and a usb port, that's it
[09:17] <ikonia> p896gbm: is it mdadm based on a hardware raid solution ?
[09:17] <coz_> gaelfx,  no I couldnt find any other channel that could help with t his...although stay here and ask again ... others may have a solution that I do not...also you could ask in ##linux  ,,, its possible someone there may also have a solution
[09:18] <p896gbm> ikonia: i have no clue. i tried assembling it with mdadm but i don't really know what i'm doing. i'm hoping it's just a raid-0 array but i don't know
[09:18] <ikonia> p896gbm: before touching it with mdadm you need to know the technology that the device was put together with
[09:18] <greenIT> hi, does any1 know how to install javaME on ubuntu?
[09:18] <p896gbm> ikonia: i assume the circuit board implemented a hardware raid array; the usb drive showed up as a single partition whenever you plugged it into a computer, no drivers needed
[09:19] <ikonia> p896gbm: if it's hardware array, then you'll need the hardware array to build it
[09:19] <p896gbm> ikonia: ok. is there a way i can find that out? i thought i would first try assembling it as raid-0. it seems the most logical thing the hardware would do
[09:19] <p896gbm> ikonia: why? isn't raid-0 a standard way of assembling drives? i should be able to emulate that with a software like mdadm, no?
[09:19] <ikonia> p896gbm: using mdadm to assemble it if it's a hardware controlled array will help
[09:19] <p896gbm> k
[09:19] <beliveyourdream> is there a software for vector graphics with a command line like autocad ?
[09:19] <ikonia> p896gbm: sorry, typed that terrible
[09:19] <p896gbm> do you know the commands to mdadm to assemble it? they have different uuids
[09:20] <ikonia> p896gbm: assembling a hardware array with mdadm will never happen
[09:20] <p896gbm> ok
[09:20] <p896gbm> why?
[09:20] <greenIT> how can i install javaME on ubuntu?
[09:20] <ikonia> p896gbm: because they are two different technologies that relay on their own software controlled methods that are different
[09:21] <p896gbm> so? there's gotta be a way i can reassemble the filesystem on here. if i can figure out how it's striped, i could in theory create a 1gb file, copy all the chunks in, and then loopmount the file
[09:21] <p896gbm> i mean the data is all there, it's mountable *somehow*
[09:21] <ikonia> p896gbm: why does there have to be a way ?
[09:21] <p896gbm> i'm not sure why i need the hardware. the hardware is dead
[09:21] <p896gbm> ikonia: there has to be a way because the drives are fine, it's the controller that died
[09:21] <ikonia> p896gbm: you need the hardware as it knows and understands (and builds and presents) the finished array
[09:22] <p896gbm> k
[09:22] <ikonia> p896gbm: yes, but the controller is what makes the raid array, if that is dead a different raid technology doesn't understand how it's built
[09:22] <p896gbm> ikonia: yes i know that, that's why i figured i would start by assuming it's raid-0
[09:22] <p896gbm> isn't raid-0 a standard? different controllers would mount it the same way, no?
[09:22] <ikonia> p896gbm: assuming it's raid-0 is pointless if you don't know how it's built
[09:23] <p896gbm> k
[09:23] <ikonia> p896gbm: raid 0 is a "standard" not an implimentation, different methods/controllers build and present it in different ways
[09:23] <p896gbm> k
[09:24] <greenIT> i need javaME on my ubuntu machine... how can i install it?
[09:24] <p896gbm> can't i start by just guessing a few common ways it would assemble it? there's gotta be a few 'most common' ways the data is striped across the drives
[09:24] <ikonia> greenIT: download it from Oracle and install it
[09:24] <p896gbm> if i can force mdadm to mount it with different striping parameters i can test each one to see if it's a valid filesystem
[09:24] <ikonia> p896gbm: no, you're not listening
[09:25] <greenIT> ikonia: isn't there only a version for windows?
[09:25] <ikonia> p896gbm: the raid array is built with a software chip on that hardware controller, other software components don't know how that software works
[09:25] <ikonia> greenIT: contact Oracle and ask for support
[09:25] <greenIT> ikonia: ok, thx
[09:25] <Talicom> greenIT: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=137149
[09:25] <p896gbm> yeah i know ikonia, but i can *guess* how it works
[09:25] <p896gbm> that's what i'm trying to do
[09:25] <ikonia> p896gbm: no "you" can't
[09:25] <ikonia> p896gbm: the software can't
[09:26] <greenIT> yay, thx Talicom :)
[09:26] <p896gbm> i don't want the software to guess, *I* want to guess. i want to tell it different ways to stripe the data and test whether it's a valid filesystem
[09:26] <ikonia> p896gbm: mdadm has no idea how LSI presents array, so asking mdadm to build an LSI controlled array is like asking a someone who doesn't speak English to write shakespear
[09:26] <cast> MACscr: actually, you can
[09:27] <ikonia> p896gbm: it's not telling it how to stripe, guessing it's raid-0 is fine, but the layout of the disks and how it's assembled and intergrity depends on the device that built it
[09:27] <p896gbm> k
[09:27] <ikonia> p896gbm: you need the same tool that built it to re-assemble it
[09:27] <MACscr> cast: prove it? ive never seen such a thing without an emulator or virtualization
[09:27] <MACscr> or a "container"
[09:27] <cast> chroot
[09:28] <MACscr> but that would mean they would have to share the same kernel, correct?
[09:28] <cast> yip, sure
[09:28] <cast> what kernel does android use again?
[09:29] <cast> one wouldn't use chroot, but....i think you're getting my point
[09:29] <p896gbm> ikonia: i'm not convinced of that. i'm sure it's simple, because it looks simple. i can even mount the first drive alone, and see the directory structure. this is a simple ext2 filesystem
[09:29] <cast> for what its worth, linux can run under linux as a process, aka UML
[09:29] <[deXter]> cast: depends on the android version. for instance mine is running 2.6.37.1
[09:29] <p896gbm> ikonia: if i fsck the first drive, it recognizes the ext2 filesystem and can even repair it. it says the filesystem is twice the size of the drive
[09:29] <ikonia> p896gbm: if you can mount the first drive, it probably isn't a raid disk
[09:30] <cast> [deXter]: right, so it uses linux :P
[09:30] <ikonia> p896gbm: if it was a raid device you wouldn't be able to mount the first disk unless it was raid 1 possibly
[09:30] <wonderwal-> hi which kernel does 10.10 server come with?
[09:30] <wonderwal-> !kernels
[09:30] <cast> with linux its pretty trivial to seperate OS instances with the likes of vserver and openvz,
[09:30] <MACscr> cast: yeah, i see your point. Im not a big fan of chroot setups
[09:31] <llutz_> wonderwal-: 2.6.35-22
[09:31] <p896gbm> ikonia: ok. so it's probably not raid then. it's something simpler. do you think the controller just put the two drives back to back? maybe i should just cat the two devices together into a file and try loopmounting it
[09:31] <cast> though...back to the original question, i was more thinking it would be feasible to install android on a piece of similar hardware, such as an ARM laptop
[09:32] <wonderwal-> llutz_: whats the -22 for? theyre on 2.6.35.11
[09:32] <ikonia> p896gbm: no, I don't think the second drive was but back to back as that would be raid 1 and I don't think there is any raid on it
[09:32] <cast> ikonia: that would not be raid 1
[09:32] <p896gbm> ikonia: well raid-1 would replicate the data, no? there's no replication here
[09:32] <ikonia> sorry raid 0
[09:32] <ikonia> typo, had raid 1 on the brain
[09:32] <cast> ikonia: that would not be raid 0, either, unless you set the strip size to the size of the disks
[09:32] <p896gbm> i thought raid-0 striped it for better speed
[09:33] <ikonia> cast: I agree it would not be raid 0, which is what I said
[09:33] <p896gbm> cast: do you know if i can tell mdadm, or some other tool, to mount it as a raid array with the strip size == the size of the disks?
[09:33] <ikonia> p896gbm: yes, but to make two disks presented as one file system would have to be done through some sort of raid or lvm
[09:33] <cast> p896gbm: rather than catting the two devices together you could suggest using a dmsetup to create a virtual device that was the concat of the two drives
[09:33] <MACscr> grrr, this audio thing is driving me crazy. Why the heck is ubuntu not switching my sound output back to the correct device. its showing that it switched, yet all apps still use hdmi
[09:33] <ikonia> p896gbm: 1.) there is no raid used on your disks 2.) you cannot tell mdadm to build arrays out of other raid technology disks/arrays
[09:33] <p896gbm> ikonia: is there a linux tool to do that in software? or should i try telling my motherboard it's a raid array and booting from a livecd?
[09:34] <ikonia> p896gbm: its NOT a raid array
[09:34] <MACscr> here is some of my pacmd output: http://pastebin.com/9pxHujxf. Any help is sincerely appreciated
[09:34] <p896gbm> cast: that would be great. so dmsetup will let me do that?
[09:34] <p896gbm> cast: k i will try that
[09:34] <wonderwal-> what is kernel 2.6.35-22 ?  is that 2.6.35.0 with patches or something?
[09:34] <cast> ikonia: actually, you can, mdadm surprising supports non-mdadm native arrays...it won't support all the various HW and fake and soft raid formats, but i believe it supports a few
[09:35] <ikonia> cast: it never works
[09:35] <wonderwal-> :'(
[09:35] <ikonia> cast: the main ones, LSI/3com/HPciss it never works due to the private region data not being accessible
[09:35] <ikonia> or in an understan
[09:35] <ikonia> oops
[09:36] <cast> that private region is enforced by the raid controller :P if you have the raid controller, you'd use that for raid...
[09:36] <ikonia> cast: totally agree
[09:37] <cast> it is annoying how some raid cards don't obviously have a way to just act as a normal sata/sas controller
[09:38] <cast> p896gbm: dmsetup will, using linear mappings. the devicemapper is how cryptsetup/mdadm/lvm implement their functionality
[09:38] <ikonia> p896gbm: why do you think the 2 disks where used together
[09:38] <ikonia> p896gbm: what makes you believe that the 2 disks are somehow linked ?
[09:38] <ali___> hi
[09:38] <cast> p896gbm: actually, the first example in man dmsetup is joining two disks together :D

[09:50] <oopepe> Hi, where is a good place to store my custom iptables script in ubuntu so that it gets loaded on server reboot? Im running ubuntu server 10.04. I dont want to use ufw.
[09:50] <p896gbm> cast: cool. the filesystem size (indicated when i fsck it) seems to imply that the number of sectors used is slightly less than the number on the drive. blockdev gives me 976773105, but if i work out half the filesystem size it's 976768032. i'll try it both ways
[09:50] <MACscr> hmm, could my pulseaudio be failing and alsa is being used instead? Seems none of my pulseaudio options are working
[09:51] <MACscr> i cant even use the master volume controls (aka, they dont apply)
[09:51] <Gnea> oopepe: I just save it somewhere like this:  iptables-save > /etc/network/firewall  then call it at boottime in /etc/network/interfaces like this:  post=up iptables-restore < /etc/network/firewall
[09:51] <Gnea> oopepe: er, post-up
[09:51] <YankDownUnder> oopepe, You can use /etc/rc.local => put the contents of the script there, or call it from that script.
[09:51] <oopepe> Gnea: Ok, thank you
[09:51] <oopepe> Thank you
[09:51] <Gnea> MACscr: the loss of pulseaudio can never be a bad thing
[09:52] <cast> i like the interfaces idea :)
[09:52] <MACscr> Gnea: isnt it what ubuntu uses by default? id prefer to stick with it
[09:52] <iDope> hi guys, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and I want to connect to a Wireless network using 802.1X Authentication with WEP (Dynamic WEP). I only see WEP WPA Passhprase WPA2 personal in Wireless Authentication options when I try to set the security parameters in Network Manager. What do I need to install to get the 802.1x auth option available
[09:52] <MACscr> plus i dont like that none of my management software work
[09:52] <MACscr> aka, sound contorls
[09:53] <MACscr> controls
[09:53] <MACscr> how do i know which is being used?
[09:53] <Gnea> MACscr: alsa is the driver that makes the sound hardware work - pulseaudio is nothing more than an application layer that attempts to form a mold around it. alsa has historically been better, is better, and will always be better than using a sound daemon. pulse works good for some hardware situations, though.
[09:54] <Talicom> I am dual booting with windows 7. how would i be able to mount the partition that my windows files are in on startup?
[09:54] <erUSUL> !ntfs | Talicom
[09:54] <Gnea> MACscr: you can easily control alsa (And have more fine-tuned control) by using alsamixer
[09:54] <MACscr> Gnea: everything worked fine until a yesterday when i changed the default output to my hdmi temporarily
[09:54] <Talicom> thanks
[09:54] <llutz_> oopepe: use iptables-save / -restore and place it in /etc/network/if-up.d  if-down.d
[09:54] <MACscr> now i cant change it back
[09:55] <Gnea> MACscr: aaah, so was that just for audio or video and audio or just video?
[09:56] <MACscr> Gnea: well i have changed it back and it shows correctly and when i run tests within the ubuntu sound utility, it works correctly, but even after rebooting, every app uses my hdmi
[09:56] <bullgard> Is there a Ubuntu command to print the known hosts in the LAN?
[09:57] <Gnea> MACscr: if you open the sound preferences, what do you have selected for your output?
[09:57] <llutz_> bullgard: you could use nmap -sP <network>
[09:57] <MACscr> analog stereo (aka, my headset)
[09:57] <Gnea> MACscr: okay, keeping the pref window open, what other sound apps are you trying to use?
[09:58] <yeah> i m on blackscreen
[09:58] <yeah> but it must be ali@ali-netbook but i m on ali@locakhost
[09:58] <yeah> so i cant change anything
[09:58] <MACscr> Gnea: been using totem for testing. But even on boot, the ubuntu startup music is using hdmi
[09:59] <fredrik_> When I log in to my ubuntu there is something wrong with compiz and/or window manager. My awn dock is messed up and windows misses the frame. My solusion is to load "compiz fusion icon" and threw that "reload window manager". How can I resolve this?
[10:00] <Gnea> MACscr: okay, would you please separately pastebin the output of the files contained in /etc/pulse/ ?
[10:00] <YankDownUnder> fredrik_, You can add the "fusion-icon" to your startup programs (SYSTEM => PREFERENCES => START UP APPLICATIONS)
[10:00] <satya> could not create directories for the normal users

[10:02] <satya> could not create directories for the normal users
[10:02] <satya> after creating the users with useradd
[10:03] <Gnea> MACscr: I meant the contents of each file, please
[10:03] <MACscr> Gnea: the files havent changed as you can see since last year. So obviously its not a change within those files
[10:03] <MACscr> that caused the problem
[10:04] <fredrik_> YankDownUnder, Yes, I have done that now. But still. I have to do a reload everytime I start my computor. Why doesn't  compiz load correctly? Or most important. How can I make this happend automaticaly?
[10:04] <Gnea> MACscr: what about in ~/.pulse/ ?
[10:05] <YankDownUnder> fredrik_, Make sure you have the settings correct for "fusion-icon" - as well, you could always use gconf-editor to change the window manager as well.
[10:05] <terrid> hi all
[10:05] <terrid> I'm having a problem trying to install APC on my local machine
[10:05] <Gnea> terrid: what do you mean by 'APC'?
[10:06] <MACscr> Gnea: you need to see the contents of each of those files in .pulse?
[10:06] <MACscr> brb, going to try something
[10:06] <terrid> Gnea: http://php.net/manual/en/book.apc.php
[10:07] <Gnea> MACscr: yes, please. it's easy: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[10:08] <Gnea> terrid: what's the problem?
[10:09] <andreylosev> are the floodbots going through a coup?
[10:09] <YankDownUnder> I think they're fighting.
[10:10] <andreylosev> yeah, and FloodBot2 is the agessor
[10:10] <fredrik_> YankDownUnder, I just checked the "default window manager" with gconf-editor. It is set to "compiz" (exaclty like the attribute "current". Still.. everytime I log in to ubuntu the window manager doesn't load correctly
[10:10] <YankDownUnder> fredrik_, As well, did you setup "fusion-icon" to load in your startup-applications?
[10:11] <fredrik_> nope. Do I have to do that? Thought that this was just a "launchbar" for some compiz-applicaitons
[10:12] <YankDownUnder> fredrik_, Give it a go - and test it - lemme know how it goes mate. (Missus just got home)
[10:12] <fredrik_> ok.. I'll do that!
[10:12] <fredrik_> thanks
[10:14] <SPaz> Hi
[10:16] <MACscr> Gnea: deleting the .pulse audio folder and rebooting resolved the issue. woo hoo =P
[10:16] <heyboy> hi
[10:16] <rockman125> if i want to chroot on my file system i just need to do like this chroot and the folder where my / is mounted?
[10:17] <Israfel-Laptop> UBuntu seems to have the british spell checker enabled by default. How do I fix that?
[10:17] <erUSUL> rockman125: from a livecd? i would bind mount /dev/, /sys/ and /proc/ before chrooting
[10:18] <erUSUL> rockman125: i.e « sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mount/point/dev/ » and the ssame for the other two
[10:18] <rockman125> ah and then chroot?
[10:19] <rockman125> after mounting the other two also what would be the command to chroot
[10:20] <erUSUL> rockman125: the command is « sudo chroot /mount/point/ »
[10:20] <p896gbm> cast: ok, so i figured out how to properly mount this thing. however the second device seems to be reporting its size as 160gb rather than 500gb. turns out maybe this drive is bad after all.
[10:20] <Gnea> MACscr: oh, okay lol
[10:20] <rockman125> good i will do it ty erUSUL
[10:20] <rockman125> what does this error means >> Error unpacking rpm package net-tools-1.60-81.el5.x86_64
[10:20] <rockman125> error: unpacking of archive failed on file /bin/netstat: cpio: rename
[10:20] <MACscr> Gnea: yeah, i gave up as i had been working on the issue for 45 mins and just said screw it, lets try this =P
[10:20] <erUSUL> rockman125: dunno; ubuntu does not use rpm
[10:21] <Israfel-Laptop> Anyone else annoyed that the default spell checker is using the british english spelling?
[10:21] <rockman125> alright ty erUSUL for the commands :)
[10:21] <ylmfos> hi
[10:21] <cast> given the queen is from britain, no
[10:22] <satya> hello
[10:22] <satya> newly created users, having the shell as /bin/sh. why is it happened?
[10:24] <fredrik_> YankDownUnder, Nope. It did not help. Compiz-fusion Icon starts but I still have to right-click on it and choose "reload window manager"
[10:25] <satya> in my /etc/passwd file, users have the shell /bin/sh. i created the users with useradd
[10:25] <ylmfos> what labs dos it need in osd lyrics?
[10:26] <satya> if i su username, pwd= /
[10:26] <ylmfos> i can't run it
[10:27] <Gnea> satya: what's the problem?
[10:28] <erUSUL> satya: check /etc/adduser.conf
[10:28] <bullgard> Is there a Ubuntu command to print the known hosts in the LAN?
[10:29] <Gnea> bullgard: well you could ping the broadcast and then look at the arp table
[10:29] <fredrik_> Anyone that knows how I can fix so I don't have to reload the window manager everytime I log in?
[10:29] <[biabia]> in ubuntu software center i downloaded the gmail app. when i open links in gmail, what program are they running in
[10:30] <llutz_> bullgard: you still could use nmap -sP <network>
[10:30] <blagorod> blagorod/nick
[10:30] <blagorod> username/blagorod
[10:30] <blagorod> hi to all
[10:30] <jd> hi
[10:31] <blagorod> hows you?
[10:31] <TheSarge> how can I change the port the built in RDP server uses?
[10:32] <bullgard> Gnea: What do you mean by "ping the broadcast"?
[10:33] <Gnea> bullgard: get your broadcast address from ifconfig, then: sudo ping -b broadcast-ip
[10:33] <p896gbm> cast: do you know why fdisk might show the wrong size? my bios says the correct size, 500gb, and does not signal any SMART failure. fdisk seems to think it's 160 GB
[10:33] <Gnea> bullgard: then look at the arp table: arp -a
[10:33] <p896gbm> cast: and when i try to mount with dmsetup it says the device is not big enough
[10:33] <cast> p896gbm: what does blockdev think?
[10:34] <Gnea> bullgard: nmap could work too, you might have false positives using both so they are good together
[10:34] <cast> p896gbm: or the line in dmesg for that matter
[10:34] <_Rix> guys i have a question
[10:34] <_Rix> will it blend
[10:35] <Phlosten> _Rix: always
[10:35] <p896gbm> blockdev says 160041885696 == 160 gb exactly (not 166, slightly less than a third), and dmesg says the same, 160gb
[10:35] <FrEaKmAn_> hi.. I have windows7 and ubuntu with dual boot.. today I started my PC and grub boot menu wont show up..
[10:35] <p896gbm> very strange
[10:35] <FrEaKmAn_> before that menu there is a new message but I cant read it because it disappers really fast
[10:36] <FrEaKmAn_> any ideas how I could read it
[10:36] <erUSUL> FrEaKmAn_: what is showing up instead?
[10:36] <FrEaKmAn_> erUSUL, nothing...
[10:36] <FrEaKmAn_> just that underscore blinks...
[10:36] <TheSarge> Can anyone tell me how I can change the port the built in RDP server uses please?
[10:36] <erUSUL> FrEaKmAn_: so a black screen? you boot directly into ubuntu? into windows? the machine explodes?
[10:36] <p896gbm> cast: so both blockdev and dmesg say 160gb. what do you think? is the device just busted?
[10:37] <FrEaKmAn_> erUSUL, no. I dont boot into anything.. because grub menu doesnt show up
[10:37] <cast> p896gbm: its an interesting way for a device to break wouldn't you say
[10:37] <erUSUL> FrEaKmAn_: i would boot into a livecd to check that the disk is ok; mount partitions and see if everything is still there and finally reinstall grub
[10:37] <erUSUL> !grub2 | FrEaKmAn_
[10:37] <p896gbm> cast: i agree, heh. i'm installing smartmontools
[10:38] <cast> p896gbm: so whats written on the drives label? :P
[10:38] <blagorod> can somebody tell me how to install 3g modem driver on ubuntu 10.04? HP pavilion dm3 1010
[10:39] <p896gbm> cast: shit, i think i'm retarded. this isn't even the right device
[10:39] <p896gbm> cast: i have so many damn drives plugged into this computer now
[10:39] <TheSarge> No one knows how to change the RDP port?
[10:39] <FrEaKmAn_> erUSUL, Im doing that right now.. everything mounts great.. btw are there any hd diagnostic tools in ubuntu?
[10:40] <erUSUL> FrEaKmAn_: yu can use Admin>disk utilitie and check drive health ( is smart test )
[10:40] <erUSUL> you*
[10:40] <gryffongrey> ello
[10:41] <theos>  hi :) is there a way to use m4b files in ubuntu?
[10:41] <p896gbm> cast: ok i got it. it remapped it to sdb, not sde, which is why my fstab was all fucked when i booted with these drives in it. smartctl says it's fine, blockdev says it's 500gb, fdisk says there's no partition table (which is correct). this is promising
[10:41] <gryffongrey> sudo make me a sandwich
[10:42] <cast> p896gbm: ahhh. linux device enumeration is often a PITA
[10:42] <theos> :|
[10:42] <erUSUL> theos: http://robert.penz.name/94/convert-m4b-to-ogg-on-linux/
[10:43] <p896gbm> cast: yeah. i switched up my fstab to use all uuids
[10:43] <gryffongrey> @theos - vlc
[10:43] <FrEaKmAn_> erUSUL, actually.. I cannot mount ubuntu partition..hm
[10:43] <theos> erUSUL, thanks :)
[10:43] <b0tz> Hi, I accidently cleared my package cache using ubuntu tweak, I forgot I was supposed to make a APTonCD backup before I did that. when i reload the package cache in aptoncd it doesnt find anything. Can I make a cache again of all apt-installed packages for aptoncd?
[10:43] <TheSarge> Does anyone know the default RDP port in Ubuntus RDP client?
[10:43] <TheSarge> or how to change it?
[10:43] <carrera> hi
[10:43] <erUSUL> FrEaKmAn_: check it with gparted 8 or directly with e2fsck in command line )
[10:44] <cast> b0tz: i don't know what aptoncd is, but unlikely, the debs don't exist on your system now that the cache is cleared
[10:44] <b0tz> anyone have any ideas?
[10:44] <b0tz> Yeah thats what i figured
[10:44] <mah454> who i can send file.gz with mail command ?
[10:44] <b0tz> But I mean theres still installed versions
[10:44] <cast> b0tz: there is no way to work backwards and create them from an installed set of packages
[10:44] <b0tz> so i was hoping i could just remake the cache
[10:44] <b0tz> Grrrr...
[10:44] <TheSarge> wow big help here..
[10:44] <b0tz> AptonCD lets you 'burn' a iso of your currently cached apt installed stuff so you can do an easy restore of them
[10:45] <b0tz> This sucks..
[10:45] <erUSUL> TheSarge: try another rdp client?
[10:45] <erUSUL> !find rdp
[10:45] <wildman> hello. I'm using 10.04 x86 here, and sometimes (cannot tell precisely when, it seems to be random), I get my USB pendrives mounted as read-only. if I disconnect them and reconnect them, they are mounted R/W again. Any ideas?
[10:45] <erUSUL> !info tsclient
[10:45] <cast> b0tz: that seems like a 1 line of sh, kind of program
[10:46] <TheSarge> erUSUL: why? I want to use the built in one, surely there is some config file to change the port?
[10:46] <b0tz> how would I do that
[10:46] <b0tz> aptoncd makes it easy  anyways
[10:46] <b0tz> Im screwed now that I cant remake my cache though. ffs..
[10:47] <cast> you'd just burn /var/cache/apt/archives/ to cd/dvd
[10:47] <erUSUL> TheSarge: maybe it accepts the common address format of  ip.of.machine.here:porthere
[10:47] <b0tz> meh.
[10:47] <wildman> forget it, I got my answer: the FAT FS is damaged :( thanks anyway :)
[10:48] <blagorod> did somebody dance with 3g modem on ubuntu 10?
[10:49] <gryffongrey> yep used sprint 3g modem- pretty straight forward
[10:49] <llutz_> blagorod: works fine here with 10.10, aao 531h and internal Option-3G modem
[10:49] <b0tz> cast what shell command would give you a list of all the currently installed ones then? atleast can have a list of them
[10:49] <TheSarge> erUSUL: Its a server not a client...
[10:49] <cast> dpkg --get-selections
[10:49] <TheSarge> erUSUL: You are not understanding.. I am trying to change the listen port of the server
[10:50] <takuan> damn
[10:50] <takuan> when is this stupid fqdn issue with network-manager going to be resolved
[10:50] <erUSUL> TheSarge: 11:43 < TheSarge> Does anyone know the default RDP port in Ubuntus RDP client? 11:43 < TheSarge> or how to change it?
[10:51] <wildman> bye ppl, have a nice one
[10:51] <blagorod> llutz_: Ive ubuntu 10.04
[10:51] <erUSUL> TheSarge: i should have added emphasys on *client* above
[10:51] <takuan> because of that my /etc/host file is not correct and openoffice.org takes 5 seconds extra to start up...
[10:51] <b0tz> cash: is there a wya to take install out of the whole list without going down each line? im not too good with awk..
[10:51] <b0tz> pretty much format it so its apt-get install :paste: able
[10:52] <blagorod> can I get working 3g modem in ubuntu 10.04?
[10:52] <TheSarge> erUSUL: lol my bad
[10:52] <llutz_> blagorod: usb-device?
[10:52] <TheSarge> SERVER!
[10:52] <TheSarge> 'lol
[10:52] <blagorod> not, its internal\
[10:52] <llutz_> blagorod: mine is internal too, but still usb. use" lsusb "
[10:52] <erUSUL> TheSarge: ubuntu uses vnc not rdp if i recall correctly
[10:53] <llutz_> blagorod: get the vendor/prod-id and do some googling with it
[10:53] <mah454> How i can attach file with mail command ?
[10:53] <TheSarge> erUSUL: Really? Its called remote Desktop...
[10:53] <TheSarge> erUSUL: Its rdp
[10:53] <erUSUL> TheSarge: either way i really dunno if you can chenge the port sorry
[10:54] <TheSarge> erUSUL: Well it not connecting with the default.. you can change it. Just cant remember.

[11:05] <madstein> hey any one using arpon on a wifi network with 3 or more computers in it ?
[11:05] <Gnea> flor: what's a wlan modem?
[11:06] <Gnea> !ask | madstein
[11:06] <madstein> cable modem if u are conected tru a cable WLAN
[11:06] <madstein> ?
[11:06] <madstein> gnea whats the idea?
[11:07] <Gnea> madstein: the idea is, don't ask if anyone has done this or that, just ask your question about the problem you're having and we'll try to help
[11:07] <blagorod> llutz:_ Ive working this
[11:07] <blagorod> llutz_: Ive working this modem when I load from live CD
[11:07] <flor> Gnea, its a wlan device that connects with dsl for internet access. it's got an additional function, printing via wlan: I plug the printer into the wlan-modem. and should be able to print, but i'm Not ;-)
[11:08] <blagorod> llutz_: can I copy that driver to my OS?
[11:08] <Gnea> flor: okay, well just to be clear here, it's just a dsl modem that allows computers to connect wirelessly to it?
[11:09] <flor> Gnea, yep, exactly.
[11:09] <tittn> anybody know good tool to connect to my plesk vpn from ubuntu im having problems setting it up with the tools available in software manager
[11:09] <Gnea> flor: ah okay, so if you plugged the printer in and if it has an IP, you should be able to set it up using the printing configuration tool
[11:09] <Gnea> !printer | flor
[11:09] <alp82> i am searching a good uml editor

[11:10] <alp82> doesnt matter if online or desktop or eclipse/netbeans plugin
[11:10] <alp82> it just has to have a nice user interface
[11:11] <bullgard> llutz_: I have cursorily read 'man nmap'. But I still do not know what to substitute for <network> in my case.
[11:12] <flor> Gnea, trying out something
[11:15] <Back4More420> where would I find the drivers for wireless card in this OS to copy and use with the linux I want to use?
[11:16] <Jonii> Wubi installer left my windows booting thing with this annoying "select if you want to use ubuntu or windows", where ubuntu-choice doesn't work, and windows ubuntu uninstaller doesn't work. How do I destroy that manually?

[11:17] <Erdj> ¿?
[11:17] <Jonii> Wubi uninstaller says something like "py<something> not found"

[11:17] <Back4More420> I haxw ubumtu 10.4
[11:18] <Back4More420> 64 bit
[11:18] <spidla> Jonii, you probably need to restore your Windows master boot record
[11:18] <flor> Gnea, i've done the following: (1) duplicated my existing printer in -> system -> printers. (2) changed settings: device-uri  -> change -> network-printer -> lpd/lpr-host (3) entered as host: socket://<IP-address> (4) sEARCH for printers/printer queues. it didn't work
[11:18] <Gnea> Back4More420: are you just trying to get wireless to work correctly in ubuntu?
[11:18] <Jonii> spidla, ok, how? Also, where did wubi-installer put its stuff?
[11:19] <MegaHerz> Hi all. How to create screencast on Ubuntu? Two apps which I found in Applications and then tried - failed to do anything. One creating gif's which I don't and another (Istanbul) - just hangs
[11:19] <spidla> Jonii, you can use Windows install CD to reach recovery console
[11:19] <shal3r> http://pastebin.com/mWuKXmzx - Any ideas how to fix that?
[11:19] <spidla> Jonii, there is an option to recover MBR
[11:19] <Gnea> flor: I see, what's the make/model of the printer?
[11:19] <Jonii> I don't have Windows install CD
[11:19] <flor> Gnea, it's a kyocera mita 1020 d
[11:19] <Back4More420> no I have it working in this version but want to get it working in the UE 2.8
[11:19] <Jean1> hi, I keep getting 'access denied' if i want to delete something in /var/www, I guess I have to use chown, but with what parameters ? Thanks
[11:20] <Gnea> Back4More420: what's UE?
[11:20] <Jonii> Also, with dual boot ubuntu thing, wouldn't MBR-recovery destroy my ability to boot into Ubuntu?
[11:20] <Back4More420> ultimate eddition 2.8
[11:20] <spidla> Jonii, which version of Windows do you have ?
[11:20] <Jonii> spidla, Vista
[11:21] <penalvch> Jean1: You could also try at the Terminal sudo rm (file)
[11:21] <dr0id> any difference between rm -f -r folder and rm -fr folder ?
[11:21] <Back4More420> if I can get the drivers from this OS I could then put them in the UE
[11:21] <Jean1> penalvch: I don't want to use sudo all the time
[11:22] <spidla> Jonii, I thought that you want to get back to Windows install only . Then the proble is probably in the GRUB loader configuration. Try to boot from Ubuntu live-cd and then you can access your Ubuntu partition and repair GRUB
[11:23] <Jonii> spidla, hmm... GRUB is this Ubuntu-related OS-choice-manager-thing?
[11:23] <Lint> dr0id, not for rm
[11:23] <spidla> Jonii, well I assume you are using GRUB as you boot-loader ... it is a deafult one in Ubuntu
[11:23] <dr0id> Lint: maybe some speed differencee ? :)
[11:23] <p896gbm> hey guys, if i use dmsetup to assemble a drive that has a partition table in it, how do i then mount one of the partitions?
[11:23] <Lint> dr0id, lol no
[11:24] <dr0id> ok
[11:24] <Jonii> If it is, it works just fine. It's just that when I choose to start windows from it, Windows, before launching, asks if I want to launch Windows Vista or Ubuntu(this Wubi-installation of Ubuntu doesn't work)
[11:24] <dr0id> Lint: I thought -fr would be faster than -f -r :)
[11:24] <Jonii> And I want to get rid of this Wubi-installation entirely
[11:25] <Gnea> Back4More420: I think you'll want to ask in #ultimateedition
[11:25] <spidla> Jonii, ouch I understand... this may be the result of chainloading process used while booting Windows from GRUB
[11:25] <Back4More420> Thank You @Gnea
[11:26] <spidla> the second menu is probably installed in windows partition .. not in MBR where the GRIB lives
[11:26] <spidla> *GRUB
[11:26] <Back4More420> this is the OS I want drivers from, where are they stored?
[11:26] <Gnea> flor: can you print if you connect the printer directly?
[11:27] <Gnea> Back4More420: they're not really 'stored' anywhere, it's part of the kernel usually, you'll need to identify your wifi card and which driver it's supposed to use and find a suitable package or driver in UE
[11:28] <takuan> anybody in here knows about fqdn and network-manager?
[11:29] <Back4More420> Gnea, Thanks
[11:29] <tittn> !openvpn
[11:29] <spidla> Jonii, maybe PartitionMagic could help ?
[11:29] <Jean1> hi, I keep getting 'access denied' if i want to delete something in /var/www, I guess I have to use chown, but with what parameters ? I want to be able to delete from a filemanager or even from a samba share. Thanks
[11:30] <MegaHerz> What device should I use in an sound recording application if /dev/dsp doesn't work?
[11:30] <Gnea> Jean1: chown -R user.group dir/  will recursively change it
[11:30] <spidla> Jonii, or there might be some useful settings in your boot.ini in your Windows installation
[11:30] <Jonii> spidla, if you know any keywords I could try googling, it'd help. Like, what's the name of that boot loader that let's me choose between Windows and Wubi.
[11:31] <Gnea> Jonii: wubi just uses NTLDR
[11:31] <Jean1> Gnea: chown -R jean.group /var/ww/* ? and what is 'group' ?
[11:31] <Gnea> !wubi | Jonii
[11:31] <Gnea> Jean1: whatever your group name is set to
[11:31] <cecilio> wenas
[11:32] <cecilio> estas sonia
[11:32] <cecilio> t kero acer el amor ç
[11:32] <Gnea> !es | cecilio
[11:32] <spidla> Jonii, well it seems that Wubi is really updating your boot.ini in Windows ! try to find those lines and edit them
[11:32] <cecilio> sorry
[11:32] <Jean1> Gnea How do I know what my group name is, and will apache/php be able to do their stuff after that?
[11:33] <Jahon> anus
[11:33] <Gnea> Jean1: by using the id command, or just do something like this:  touch ~/test.file && ls -l test.file  to see what gid it uses
[11:33] <Gnea> !language | Jahon
[11:33] <Jean1> Gnea thanks , gonna try

[11:34] <bibic682> hello, anyone please help ....need philips 7130 tv card set up properly....seems like a lotta hoops to jump thru
[11:34] <flor> Gnea, yes, that's working fine, printing directly.
[11:34] <pirx> hi! i have a situation where a software is making a lot of requests to an external API, and i would like to check for how long those sockets are open. it will take some time before i am able to add that to the loggaing of the application. any ideas? (e.g. how to check for how long sockets are open, to some certain IP, during say 1minute)
[11:34] <spidla> Jonii, there should be a list of available operating systems. There you can delete the Wubi lines and you can set your Vista installation as a default operating system. Second boot menu should disappear
[11:34] <Gnea> !tv | bibic682
[11:35] <bibic682> thanks all...will check it out
[11:36] <Gnea> flor: so what's preventing you from adding the new printer instead of copying the currently working printer?
[11:36] <spidla> Jonii, In your boot.init you should see something like this http://pastebin.com/3iFa8QmN
[11:36] <flor> Gnea, got it! i had to type in the ip address only without "socket://" in front of it. yeah!!! thanks for your support!!
[11:36] <Jean1> Gnea it worked, thanks, have a good day :)
[11:36] <Gnea> flor: oh, awesome :)
[11:36] <spidla> Jonii, the last line represents the modification made bu Wubi
[11:36] <Gnea> Jean1: cheers :)
[11:37] <Jonii> spidla, windows Vista doesn't have boot.ini, but yeah, it seems wubiguide has good tutorial to how to remove it
[11:37] <spidla> Jonii, well I am Linux user :-) in Windows XP there was boot.ini
[11:37] <goggle-eyed_bear> do u have windows iso disks?
[11:38] <spidla> Jonii, well good luck
[11:38] <flor> Gnea, have a good day from me too! : ) bye, everybody!
[11:39] <flor> Gnea, ps: you gave me the idea to try a network-printer-conection. for windows, its differently...

[12:29] <Gatekeeper-ZA> kk mmm i installed ubuntu 8.10 but sunaptics cant find packages.. i installed cause newer ubuntu does not support my display card.

[12:30] <Neosano> halvors, aha, good that you found it
[12:30] <Satauros> first question, to set a time server in Ubuntu (10.04.2 LTS) server, i just have to edit / create the /etc/ntp.conf file, correct?
[12:30] <helghareeb> I used additional drivers, however it keeps crashing
[12:30] <bullgard> Gnea: Thank you for commenting.
[12:30] <helghareeb> I recommend you using 10.10 edition, and don't force ubuntu using external drivers
[12:31] <Gatekeeper-ZA> yeah its an old ati now i know it works in 8.10 but cant seem to get the sources
[12:31] <helghareeb> ubuntu are experiementing 3D drivers in Unity ( 11.04) now. Hopefully it will be available soon
[12:31] <helghareeb> my advice as I told you: stick to the default now, and wait for the new release. Hopefully it will handle the issue
[12:32] <Gatekeeper-ZA> no the issue is i cant recive the sources list so synaptics cant let me add packages ets. it doesnt list
[12:33] <helghareeb> aha, I c
[12:33] <Gatekeeper-ZA> Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.mirror.ac.za/ubuntu-archive/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404 Not Found

[12:33] <Neosano> Satauros, can't you use gui for this? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/sync-your-system-clock-with-internet-time-servers-in-ubuntu/
[12:33] <helghareeb> :) sounds weired to me
[12:33] <Gatekeeper-ZA> then i get at the end ailed to fetch http://mirror.in.th/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/universe/source/Sources.gz  301 Moved Permanently
[12:33] <Gatekeeper-ZA> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[12:34] <Gatekeeper-ZA> how would i add a working sources list.

[12:34] <helghareeb> sounds a good start Gatekeeper
[12:34] <Neosano> Satauros, ahaa

[12:38] <Satauros> the ubuntu server I mentioned will be running drupal, so the system should be able to send emails using our mail relay servers
[12:38] <bullgard> Gnea: I am struggeling on 2 fronts at the moment. I did not solve yet the question how to determine the known host computers in my LAN.
[12:38] <Satauros> how do i configure this on the server?
[12:38] <Satauros> i already figured out that i'll be needing sendmail :p, but then what?
[12:39] <jrib> Satauros: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html
[12:39] <Thalius> Satauros: I had the same problem. Ended up using Exim4.
[12:41] <Satauros> Thalius, and that worked? (i'll be configuring a primary and secondairy mail relay, is this possible?)
[12:42] <Satauros> jrib, the link you gave doesn't mention anything about sendmail, any other suggestions?
[12:42] <Thalius> Satauros: You can try. It can easy be configured using exim-config.
[12:42] <Satauros> without GUI?
[12:43] <jrib> Satauros: you can use postfix or exim.  If you really want to use sendmail, sure use that.  Each of these projects have their own irc channel for configuration questions
[12:43] <Satauros> ok, *searches for the sendmail irc channel :p*
[12:43] <Thalius> Satauros: It has a commandline gui, really easy to config
[12:44] <jrib> Satauros: out of curiousity, why do you want to use sendmail if you don't know how to configure it?
[12:44] <CASSANO> need shell, irssi screen q me
[12:44] <jrib> !ot | CASSANO
[12:44] <CASSANO> bla bla bla
[12:44] <Satauros> due to lack of other options, jrib
[12:44] <jrib> Satauros: but we just gave you two other options
[12:45] <Satauros> my boss told me to set the mail relay on the ubuntu server
[12:45] <Satauros> so first option i noticed, sendmail
[12:45] <jrib> Satauros: I've always used exim, mostly because sendmail is notorious for being difficult to configure :/
[12:45] <Satauros> first come, first serve
[12:45] <bfri> any one help me find where my temp files are when i open a youtube page?
[12:45] <Satauros> ok, exim it is
[12:45] <Satauros> you've convinced me
[12:45] <Satauros> ^^
[12:46] <Satauros> i suppose a simple sudo apt-get install exim will do the trick?
[12:46] <Thalius> Satauros: yes
[12:46] <jrib> Satauros: might be exim4, check the link
[12:46] <Satauros> i'll try right away
[12:47] <Thalius> Satauros: exim4 indeed. After that use sudo exim4-config, youll get this: http://library.linode.com/web-applications/project-management/redmine/images/redmine-debian-5-exim-config-1.png
[12:47] <Satauros> ok installed  - i'm so happy it automatically uninstalled sendmail :D -
[12:48] <bfri> any one help me find where my temp files are when i open a youtube page?
[12:49] <Satauros> don't you mean sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config Thalius?
[12:49] <jrib> bfri: /home/jrib/.mozilla/firefox/p26rxi5a.default/Cache ?
[12:49] <jrib> bfri: or whatever your *.default directory is.
[12:50] <Satauros> so that worked Thalius, now, in order to make this work (using our primary and secondairy mail relay), which option should i choose best?
[12:50] <Satauros> (yes i have entered n00b mode)
[12:51] <Thalius> Satauros: Dont know tbh. Been some while since i configged it, and i only use 1 relay
[12:51] <bfri> jrib: i dont have that location you mentioned and i just up graded to 10.04 and my default directory no longer has them
[12:52] <doodie> how do I join 2 empty partitions using gparted?
[12:52] <jrib> bfri: you don't have ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache?
[12:52] <Thalius> Satauros: I picked the internetsite option, since that matched my needs/requirements
[12:53] <Satauros> Thalius, i suppose i should be choosing 'mail send by smarthost, no local mail'?
[12:53] <Satauros> in my case
[12:53] <Thalius> Satauros: would make sense since you dont want to host a mailserver on the same host, and only want to send out forgot-my-passwords mail
[12:54] <Thalius> Satauros: You can always check if the relay works by sending a mail from commandline.
[12:55] <bfri> any one help me find where my temp files are when i open a youtube page?
[12:55] <jrib> bfri: can you answer my question?
[12:57] <bfri> jrib: no i dont have that directory
[12:57] <jrib> bfri: type "about:cache" in your firefox and see what the directory for Disk cache device is
[12:58] <Satauros> ok, thx Thalius, in case of any problems i'll notify (today or tomorrow, probably tomorrow :p)
[12:58] <elvissilva> tem algum usuario brasileiro na rede?
[12:58] <Thalius> Satauros: Yw. and goodluck :)
[12:58] <jrib> !br | elvissilva
[12:58] <Satauros> next question, to set my primary and secondary DNS, i suppose i only have to edit the /etc/resolv.conf file?
[12:58] <bfri> jrib: ok there it is i was trying to just go to that directory manually
[12:59] <Thalius> Satauros: Yup. considering you dont have a daemon generating the config file
[12:59] <Satauros> yes I read that the dhcp3 client reconfigures that resolv.conf file
[13:00] <Satauros> but i'll be using a static IP, so probably will remove the dhcp client, if possible
[13:00] <bfri> Jrib: if i just start in the "/" directory and follow the path i get stopped at ".mozilla" why is that
[13:00] <rams_pandu> how can I install a dictionary in ubuntu?
[13:00] <doodie> how do I join 2 empty partitions using gparted? Copy and PAste?
[13:00] <Thalius> Satauros: No need to remove it, just set the /etc/network/interfaces to static and it wont be used
[13:01] <Satauros> noted
[13:01] <jrib> bfri: show me what you are doing in pastebin, I do not understand what you said
[13:01] <Thalius> doodie: why not remove on partition and extend the other?

[13:04] <oxodesign> hi i did pack a folder like this "tar -cvf tarFileName directory/" who do I unpack that file?
[13:05] <jrib> oxodesign: tar xf filename
[13:08] <shane4ubuntu> ok, question, when I run: sudo service --status-all    I get a bunch of + and - and ?  beside the daemon, however what does that mean?
[13:10] <BartHH> Hi there, Does someone know if it is possible with dual head seperate X to hide all the gnome stuff from the second monitor?
[13:11] <Bohemian_Cow> What are you trying to accomplish BartHH?
[13:12] <BartHH> I need to have 1 app running on my second screen without all the panels around it
[13:12] <pilas> hello ubuntu world... been on linux since monday... the world is a happier place
[13:12] <pilas> need help with linux partitions... simple questions... pleas pm
[13:13] <Neosano> pilas, just ask here
[13:13] <pilas> ok...
[13:13] <AbhijiT> pilas, ask here only. with all details on one line
[13:13] <BartHH> Bohemian_Cow: do you know if it is even possible?
[13:13] <Neosano> BartHH, it's linux, everything is possible
[13:14] <MaslowK> Except being windows.
[13:14] <MaslowK> lol.
[13:14] <pilas> Ok, so I am doing my first hard disk install on a 500GB ATA with one NTFS partition with my windows on. Ubuntu needs its own linux partition: Can I trust linux to do the partition without fucking up windows?
[13:14] <BartHH> I mean possible without creating ubuntu from scratch
[13:14] <Bohemian_Cow> Well you could just manually set the length of the panel in question?
[13:15] <Bohemian_Cow> Ie not having it "Expand"
[13:15] <pilas> panel?
[13:15] <BartHH> the panels are duplicates of the ones running on my main screen
[13:15] <BartHH> If I change the settings, they change both
[13:15] <Neosano> pilas, oh wait, you have to resize ntfs partition first
[13:15] <BartHH> or mmm
[13:15] <BartHH> maybe not
[13:16] <BartHH> where are all those panel settings saved?
[13:16] <Neosano> pilas, you can do it from GParted, I've done it several times successfully, but I'll recommend you to save data first
[13:16] <pilas> tks neosano... im in the middle of saving it up
[13:16] <Bohemian_Cow> Do you have Gnome-Configuration editor installed?
[13:17] <Bohemian_Cow> aka gconf
[13:17] <BartHH> ah yes found it in /apps/panel
[13:17] <shane4ubuntu> I linked ddclient into /etc/init.d/  is there an easy way to make sure it is running?  I ran sudo service --status-all and ddclient shows up as:  -  ddclient  does that mean it isn't running?
[13:18] <Neosano> pilas, so you have to run live cd, try ubuntu without installing, run GParted to resize ntfs partition.
[13:18] <rams_pandu> can I access windows vista desktop from ubuntu10.04?
[13:18] <MaslowK> rams_pandu: Sure can.
[13:18] <Neosano> rams_pandu, desktop?
[13:18] <MaslowK> Well
[13:18] <Neosano> you mean desktop folder?
[13:19] <rams_pandu> MaslowK, can you tell me how?
[13:19] <MaslowK> Depends on what you mean by that
[13:19] <jrib> shane4ubuntu: what do you mean, you linked it?  When you install ddclient it should automatically be there
[13:19] <MaslowK> If you mean having both installed and being able to switch between them, you can do that.
[13:19] <AbhijiT> rams_pandu, use teamviewer
[13:19] <shane4ubuntu> jrib hmm, mine wasn't at least I don't think it was, yes, I linked it.
[13:19] <rams_pandu> Neosano, I mean i have many apps on windows, I want to access all of then from ubuntu. like start button, programs etc
[13:19] <jrib> shane4ubuntu: how did you install it?  Surely, you used apt?
[13:19] <shane4ubuntu> jrib: if it was in there it is possible that I linked over top of it, but I'm about 90% sure it wasn't running
[13:19] <MaslowK> Oh, well.
[13:20] <Neosano> that's a different thing..
[13:20] <shane4ubuntu> jrib yep apt
[13:20] <MaslowK> Not really rams_pandu
[13:20] <AbhijiT> rams_pandu, is this vista and ubuntu installed on the same hard disk?
[13:20] <jrib> shane4ubuntu: ddclient package includes /etc/init.d/ddclient
[13:20] <Neosano> rams_pandu, mostly no. though you can install windows on a virtual machine and use windows from linux.
[13:20] <shane4ubuntu> jrib, it didn't seem to be running though, is there a way to check if it is running/configured correctly?
[13:20] <rams_pandu> AbhijiT, yeah, both are installed on the same harddisk
[13:21] <jrib> shane4ubuntu: furthermore, what exactly did you link?  /etc/init.d/ contains init scripts, it's not just links to executables
[13:21] <AbhijiT> rams_pandu, hmm then you cant access vista menus programs from ubuntu. you can only access files, folders, data, music, videos, etc
[13:21] <shane4ubuntu> jrib: sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/ddclient /etc/init.d/
[13:21] <jrib> shane4ubuntu: yeah, that's not correct
[13:22] <shane4ubuntu> jrib, ok, should I remove the link and re-install ddclient?
[13:22] <jrib> shane4ubuntu: yeah, purge and install again
[13:22] <rams_pandu> AbhijiT, yeah, I know that. In my hard disk windows and ubuntu are installed in different partitions
[13:22] <Neosano> Do you guys know how can I catch window events? I need to see if there's any window fullscreened.
[13:22] <AbhijiT> rams_pandu, still you cant
[13:22] <jrib> shane4ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS walks you through the configuration
[13:22] <shane4ubuntu> jrib, ok, thanks a bundle, let me give that a try, however is there a way to confirm it is running?  --status-all should show with a plus if it is running?
[13:23] <ufk> hi
[13:23] <rams_pandu> Neosano, thank you
[13:23] <ufk> i installed debug version of flash 32 bit version on my firefox-bin (using amd64). the problem is that whenever a flash error occur a popup doesn't comes up with the proper error. i need to install flashbug to actually see in the firebug window the error. any ideas how to resolve the issue?
[13:23] <rams_pandu> AbhijiT, thank you
[13:24] <Attivism> ragazzi eccomi di nuovo
[13:24] <jrib> shane4ubuntu: just do « ps -ef | grep ddclient » as service --status-all probably only works well for upstart type jobs

[13:40] <Guest83757> So, I got the "Window Selector" applet on my panel in Ubuntu 10.10 - one problem: i want to change a setting so it will show the names of all workspaces when I go to select a window.
[13:40] <Guest83757> Ubuntu is refusing to let me modify the applet's settings. What do I do?
[13:41] <EmpoyLayaw> juk, it doesn't seem to help because they'll point you to sync-ing with gmail account. what I want is to use Evolution mail to sync my phone contacts. Just as how you would sync a Windows mobile phone with Outlook. Not sure if that is possible in Ubuntu yet
[13:41] <EmpoyLayaw> So what I want to know if it is possible to use Ubuntu's preloaded Evolution to sync my Android Froyo phone
[13:42] <acid> hello ppl
[13:43] <Guest83757> Any ideas guys? How do I change the properties/setting for my Window Selector applet in Ubuntu 10.10?

[13:45] <super_elite> Any ideas guys? How do I change the properties/setting for my Window Selector applet in Ubuntu 10.10? It works in Xubuntu, so why won't it work in Ubuntu?

[13:57] <alisalaah> lo

[13:59] <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), should I use my web domain name, or just make up a name for my local network?
[13:59] <oliver_> Voita: http://pastebin.com/i9djSsMN
[13:59] <juk> Howler: #postfix
[14:00] <Voita> thnx oliver Iḿ checking
[14:00] <sipior> Howler: you really shouldn't just make up a name, no :-) do you really need sendmail?
[14:01] <Voita> ok so if I want to configure that script to start an openoffice pres. what do i type?
[14:01] <sipior> Howler: if your dns provider has set an MX record for your domain, you can of course use the domain name you're paying for.
[14:01] <Howler> sipior: Of course I don't *need* it =). I'm using it for my redmine account to send emails about my projects.
[14:01] <oliver_> Voita: I'm not sure but just try to take only the top 3 lines and change  the exec command   my file is called  yakuake.desktop    urs should be called (the command to start ur wordpress)
[14:02] <sandhu> hi  pl tell how to download  you tube videos
[14:02] <Voita> ok I will play around for a while and see what happens :)
[14:02] <Howler> My question is more about what I should really set my local domain to be, so I can have a FQDN. sendmail is just the program that alerted me to the fact that I don't have it.
[14:02] <mikebot> In UNR, is there a way to change the systray icons in the top-right corner?
[14:03] <sandhu> hi  pl tell how to download  you tube videos
[14:03] <sandhu> hi  pl tell how to download  you tube videos
[14:03] <alisalaah> sandhu, like flv to mp3 conversion?
[14:03] <Godslastering> what is the proper way to change the system hostname?
[14:04] <sipior> Howler: you could try using dynamic dns in conjunction with your preferred dns provider.
[14:04] <Sirgado> Godslastering: I guess edit /etc/hostname
[14:04] <sandhu> no  i wanna download  videos
[14:04] <oliver_> Voita: i would try      calling the file like        mypresentation.desktop     and change the command to     openoffice.org /path/to/your/presentation
[14:04] <Sirgado> Godslastering: or using GUI
[14:04] <Godslastering> Sirgado: is this permanent? and which GUI tool?
[14:04] <supreme> created some vpn tunnel, connection to the server works, but i want that ALL traffic is routed through this connection, how should i set the route for this ?
[14:04] <Voita> tnx oliver.... will give it a try
[14:05] <alisalaah> sandhu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547848
[14:05] <alisalaah> forums/google had an easily searchable  topic, that looks liek what you want
[14:06] <Howler> sipior: Yeah, I have my domain name pointed at my IP address (and my router updates it, should it change).  What you're saying is that I should really make the machines on my local network use that as their domain?
[14:07] <alisalaah> Ubuntu 10.10 on a new 2010 model Macbook Pro :: Saying I have no bluetooth adapters, I want to setup with my magic mouse, is there a way to get it to work?  i checked forums and did bluez with no success.
[14:07] <sipior> Howler: if your domain is already pointed there, yes. but if you don't expect the machines on your local network to be reached directly from the larger internet, there's no need for an fqdn. each machine with a fqdn should be listed in an authoritative name server. that's probably overkill for a home network.
[14:08] <supreme> hmm anybody around who can tell me the route add command to route all traffic to ppp0 ?
[14:08] <sipior> Howler: if your domain points to the internet side of your home router, you can use port forwarding to direct service requests from that external address to the appropriate internal machines, without involving the dns further.

[14:11] <elfranne> anyone know how to remove the x first characters on all files in a folder ?
[14:11] <Voita> oliver do I type the pathway under exec=?
[14:12] <Howler> sipior: Sure, I understand that. No reason for the outside world to reach any machine except my webserver. I just saw that sendmail kept complaining about not knowing its fqdn, and I didn't know that I should have one =). But, that makes sense, I really only need a fqdn for machines that can be seen by the outside world. That's why sendmail cares...because why would it be on a machine the outside world can't see.
[14:12] <Howler> sipior: Thanks for helping me understand.
[14:13] <sipior> Howler: sure. are you really running sendmail, and not postfix? postfix is much easier to configure (and the machine itself doesn't need an fqdn, you simply have to tell the mailer what to use).
[14:13] <sipior> Howler: you might also look into ssmtp, which probably fits better with your expected usage.
[14:14] <erUSUL> elfranne: from the filename? or the file contents?
[14:14] <elfranne> erSUL filename
[14:14] <sipior> Howler: you're just forwarding all delivery to your isp mail server as a relay, i assume?

[14:17] <slutgarden> hello
[14:17] <oliver_> Voita: :D don't u have a xfce menu?
[14:17] <Howler> sipior: Yeah, it's just a forward. Redmine just uses the local mail server to email updates (when I change the status on one of my projects). I'm using sendmail, because that's what the tutorial used. It's working fine, just complains in my logs about not knowing it's fqdn
[14:17] <Voita> no only about xfce

[14:24] <sipior> skorv: "sudo chmod u+s kismet_capture". obviously not something you would do lightly.
[14:25] <jrib> Cube``: should be fine
[14:25] <sipior> skorv: that assumes root owns the above-mentioned file, of course.
[14:25] <skorv> ah... ok then
[14:25] <skorv> that i know
[14:25] <Cube``> BluesKaj: well Networkmanager works perfectly, but i need something to connect to the internet when using a tiling WM
[14:26] <jrib> Cube``: erm, you can use network manager in a tiling wm.  You could still use the applet, or just use nmcli
[14:27] <oliver_> alisalaah: maybe u need to check if theres a new release of "Linux guest tools"
[14:27] <Cube``> jrib: i dont have a panel
[14:27] <jrib> Cube``: then see my second option
[14:27] <Cube``> ahh nmcli!
[14:27] <skorv> now to find kismet files
[14:27] <Cube``> sounds nice
[14:28] <Cube``> jrib: how to install it? there is no package nmcli
[14:28] <jrib> Cube``: you already have it
[14:29] <petesy> Hey if anyone wants to take a look at a small sh script that im having a little trouble with the cancel option it will be appreciated. http://pastebin.com/UyN6iRP2
[14:30] <jrib> petesy: might try #bash
[14:30] <petesy> jrib, there not to fond of sh there lol
[14:31] <jrib> petesy: huh?
[14:31] <petesy> jrib, yea they freak
[14:31] <jrib> petesy: your script is a bash script
[14:31] <BluesKaj> jrib, Cube`` it's cnetworkmanager
[14:32] <jrib> BluesKaj: although cnetworkmanager also exists, nmcli is a way to interact with nm through the terminal and is part of nm by default in ubuntu
[14:32] <petesy> jrib, yea but because it says /bin/sh they hated me lol
[14:32] <jrib> petesy: your script says /bin/bash
[14:32] <oliver_> Voita:  check out the xubuntu channel #xubuntu
[14:32] <petesy> jrib, o sorry i must have not changed it back
[14:33] <BluesKaj> jrib, ok i wasn't aware of that , is it the engine under /etc/network/interfaces ?
[14:33] <jrib> BluesKaj: no, i believe it's just an interface to nm, with commands instead of clicking
[14:33] <NeoSentient> Hi all :) My wireless has been running straight "out of the box" with fresh install, but I just noticed in my connection properties it is registering as 150mbps connection, the network is 300mbps, is this just a display error or do I need to configure something to utilise full speed wireless?
[14:33] <BluesKaj> jrib, intersting , good to know
[14:35] <gaelfx> NeoSentient: It's probably an issue with the driver not being able to utilise the card fully. What kind of wifi card is it?
[14:36] <NeoSentient> I'm running 10.10 on a HP Pavilion Dv6 Laptop, the network cards installed are atheros for wifi and realtek for lan as far as I am aware
[14:37] <ashish> hi pl tell me about download from you tube
[14:38] <ashish> how to download frm u tube
[14:38] <compdoc> ashish, there are videos on youtube abot how to d/l videos from youtube
[14:39] <ashish> yes
[14:39] <zhou> hi
[14:39] <LjL> !info youtube-dl | ashish
[14:39] <Jonii^> So, I've finally switched over to Ubuntu. Now I need to figure out how the Linux works. Like, how to become a power user?
[14:40] <greppy> !sudo | Jonii^
[14:40] <ashish> tell me pocudere
[14:41] <Jonii^> A power user as in "Knows how the system works, and is able to use it effectively to accomplish wide range of tasks"
[14:41] <ashish> way how to d/l
[14:41] <LjL> ashish: "sudo apt-get install youtube-dl", then "youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/blah"
[14:41] <Cube``> BluesKaj: ahh ok
[14:42] <dustin_> Jonii, i wish
[14:42] <Cube``> BluesKaj: nope, i dont see it
[14:42] <steven__> lu les filles :)
[14:42] <lirakis> i have been using compiz for a while now and i love it ... but i can not seem to find a plugin that allows me to maximize and minimize windows with a keybinding
[14:42] <BluesKaj> Cube``, see ?
[14:42] <lirakis> does any one know how to do this?
[14:42] <jrib> Jonii^: just use the system and explore things to understand how they work (read lots of documentation, setup a vm and break things, read source code).  The rute book is nice too.
[14:42] <lirakis> i have googled and am not able to find
[14:43] <jrib> !rute | Jonii^
[14:43] <simonadameit> hello
[14:43] <Cube``> BluesKaj: see what?
[14:43] <Shogoot> Hi guys. I got a old machine with newest Ubunto on. Its really amazing with one flaw i cannot get the wifi to work. I had a friend tell em to use ndiswrapper and followed a guide, but its not working for me. And when i do iwconfig it says lo no wireless extensions eth0 no wireless extensions. Any clue on how to solve this problem of mine?
[14:43] <Disturbed1> hello
[14:43] <jrib> lirakis: ask #compiz if there is a more integrated way, but you could use wmctrl
[14:44] <BluesKaj> Cube``, what don't you see?
[14:44] <steven__> hello
[14:44] <steven__> do you have probleme ?
[14:44] <Cube``> BluesKaj: i do neither have cnetworkmanager, nor do i have nmcli
[14:44] <jrib> Cube``: what ubuntu version is this?
[14:44] <Cube``> jrib: 10.04
[14:45] <BluesKaj> cnetworkmanager is in the repos, Cube``
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> !find nmcli
[14:45] <Cube``> BluesKaj: there is no sudo apt-get install cnetworkmanager
[14:45] <jrib> Cube``: BluesKaj and myself are saying things about maverick
[14:45] <simonadameit> I have a server with hardy and want to use a new git version on it, … its not in hardy backports, so what options do I have and which is best? (compiling myself, using some other repo, etc..)
[14:45] <simonadameit> ?
[14:45] <Cube``> jrib: ah, that is 1010?
[14:45] <jrib> Cube``: yes
[14:46] <Cube``> ah i should upgrade
[14:46] <erUSUL> simonadameit: i would compile it myself.
[14:46] <Bilz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/571105/ <- final few lines of what i get one i run sudo apt-get update, any ideas?
[14:46] <Jonii^> Hey, I think there is a quick key combination that opens some sort of quick search window where you can type stuff and it searches for programs and such
[14:47] <simonadameit> erUSUL:  that requires installing all the develpment tools on the server, which I wanted to avoid, but maybe its best.
[14:47] <Cube``> Jonii^: either Alt+F2 or gnome do
[14:47] <jrib> simonadameit: look for a ppa or official repository from the git project
[14:47] <erUSUL> simonadameit: in that case why not compile it in your workstation or a vm?
[14:48] <Jonii^> Cube``, gnome?
[14:48] <dustin_> how do you command line uninstall all of mythtv( front,and backend)
[14:48] <steven__> en francais le tchat ?
[14:48] <Cube``> Jonii^: yes, but my goal is to use xmonad and still be able to connect to wpa2 wifi
[14:48] <ps3_> hey, is someone able to help me with with ps3vram swap??
[14:48] <BluesKaj> jrib, no cnetworkmanager or nmcli on 10.04 ?
[14:48] <Cube``> steven__: cela serait #ubuntu-fr
[14:48] <jrib> Cube``: if you don't want to upgrade, use wicd-curses (that's what I did in 10.04)
[14:48] <steven__> merci
[14:49] <dustin_> ps3_, whats that?
[14:49] <dustin_> how do you command line uninstall all of mythtv( front,and backend)
[14:49] <ps3_> its the ram on the ps3 linux
[14:49] <B-r00t> dustin_: sudo apt-get remove --purge mythtv*
[14:49] <jrib> Cube``: you can even run regular old wicd-client -n in xmonad too
[14:49] <ps3_> i think i changed the restrictions
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> dustin_:  determine the packages names.. watch out for it removeing stuff you might want to keep. the way apt/ubuntu uses meta-packages can make it annoying to remove things
[14:50] <g[r]eek> Hi is there a flash animation program for ubuntu? I want to make a SWF flash animation
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> !swf
[14:50] <g[r]eek> Dr_Willis, I'm guessing that's a no...?
[14:50] <teolicy> Hi. I'm using 9.10, which has Python 2.6.4. I'd like to upgrade it to 2.6.6 (latest 2.6 release, and the version in 10.10). What's the 'correct' way to go about doing this?
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> ive seen video -> flash video befor.. but i dont use the stuff
[14:51] <ps3_> sudo: /etc/sudoers.d/admin is mode 0644, should be 0440
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> teolicy:  i would check the ppa's  or backports for updated versions
[14:51] <ps3_> how can i change from 0644 to 0440??
[14:51] <g[r]eek> ok thanks
[14:51] <jrib> ps3_: why is it 644 instead of 440?  What exactly did you do to make it that way?
[14:51] <dustin_> Dr_Willis, i want it all gone
[14:52] <gaelfx> what can I do to fix choppy playback using vdpau in smplayer?
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> dustin_:  start removing then.. pay attention to anything else it may try to remove
[14:52] <ps3_> i think..... i changed it when changing eth1 to eth0... but that is a complete guess...
[14:52] <^cheeky> hello, iam trying to mount a nfs directory using this comand sudo mount -v 192.168.10.3:files/ /files but i get an internal error message back, in my NFS my export file has these two lines unchecked /files 192.168.10.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) and /files 192.168.10.3(rw,async). i also ran sudo exportfs -a  and then restarted the  nfs-kernal server. in the client side i have installed portmap and nfs-common and both are running but i
[14:52] <^cheeky> still get internal error
[14:52] <jrib> ps3_: what did you run?
[14:52] <g[r]eek> Oh the other question I had, is it possible to get tabbed chat in Skype?
[14:52] <roasted_> ping drc
[14:52] <ps3_> sudo mkswap /dev/ps3vram
[14:53] <silverlightning> hi
[14:53] <ps3_> im running lxde ubuntu on my ps3.. apprantly it should be an easy swap of VRAM
[14:54] <ps3_> /dev/ps3vram: Device or resource busy

[14:54] <Disturbed1> Can anyone tell me how to login to a shell as linuxmce?
[14:54] <teolicy> Dr_Willis: Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. I didn't find a PPA where someone already pre-pacakged and tested Python 2.6.6 for 9.10. By "backport" do you mean I should head to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.6/2.6.6-5ubuntu1, download 2.6.6 sources and patch them with the diff of 10.10, then install that?
[14:54] <gaelfx> Shogoot: do you know what kind of card it is?
[14:54] <shentino> Don't get sued by sony! :P
[14:54] <jrib> !wifi > Shogoot
[14:55] <ps3_> hahah.. dontworry, i think im safe from them :P
[14:55] <mikael69> !list
[14:56] <Rickycoe> so you guys have any ideas on the reasons why im getting this damn 0644
[14:57] <WeThePeople> how would i uninstall lubuntu-desktop
[14:57] <DarkPsy_> hi
[14:57] <ruan> WeThePeople: sudo apt-get remove lubuntu-desktop?
[14:58] <NeoSentient> Hmm I was just trying out the youtube-dl command line app but it responds with the error "unable to download video (format may not be available)" the format in question, I assume, is .FLV
[14:58] <erUSUL> !details | Rickycoe
[14:59] <Bilz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/571105/ <- final few lines of what i get one i run sudo apt-get update, any ideas?
[14:59] <ruan> hmm
[14:59] <Rickycoe> im running lxde kubuntu.... need a vram swap
[14:59] <ruan> is there a way to open a link from irssi with lynx?
[15:00] <gaelfx> does apt-p2p also work with PPAs?
[15:00] <calijames> hi can anyone see me?
[15:01] <ruan> calijames: yes
[15:01] <kaspharm> i have 10.10 and compiz fusion - why when i disable compiz i gave nice animation of panel "sliding" from top, but with compiz panel just appering without that animation?
[15:01] <calijames> ok just checking.
[15:01] <zamba> calijames: i can even see what you're wearing
[15:01] <calijames> i just installed ubuntu on my pc
[15:01] <calijames> i cant really figure out the terminal yet. but i am trying
[15:01] <simonadameit> how can I check which package would provide a certain file?
[15:01] <calijames> it's reall neat. i like it better than mac osx
[15:02] <calijames> where is everyone located?
[15:02] <calijames> i am in florida
[15:02] <kaspharm> poland
[15:02] <calijames> i want to move though it kind of sucks
[15:02] <ruan> slightly offtopic.
[15:02] <jrib> Ps3_: stop changing your name please.  It's confusing.  And you never answered my question
[15:02] <calijames> florida has the weather, it's nice
[15:02] <calijames> poland  .. i never been. how is it?
[15:03] <kaspharm> ugly
[15:03] <jrib> !ot | calijames
[15:03] <Disturbed1> am in florida as well calijames
[15:03] <kaspharm> cold
[15:03] <Ps3_> im sorry, i keep getting the damn registered nicks
[15:03] <calijames> really.
[15:03] <calijames> well florida is ok, but, its just hard to make friends here
[15:03] <randyJ> Disturbed1:  try sudo su - linuxmce
[15:03] <calijames> like, you need a lot of money
[15:03] <jrib> calijames: this channel is dedicated to support.  You can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:03] <Disturbed1> Okay, thank you randyJ.
[15:03] <calijames> how do i join a different channel?
[15:04] <jrib> calijames: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:04] <ruan> calijames: /j #[channel]
[15:04] <calijames> are there people in there?
[15:04] <kaspharm> is there channel with compiz support?
[15:04] <jrib> kaspharm: #compiz
[15:04] <kaspharm> thx
[15:04] <tcg_> How do I register my nick?
[15:04] <Reventlo1>  /msg Nickserv help
[15:05] <Reventlo1> btw, read the man :)
[15:05] <Disturbed1> randyJ: terminal tells me Unknown id: linuxmce
[15:06] <gaelfx> in the apt-p2p package, the description says "The configuration is very simple, and only involves prepending 'localhost' and the port to your current sources.list lines (similarto other apt-proxy-like software)." Does this mean I have to do that manually for this to work, or does that mean the package will take care of it?
[15:06] <skorv> cant find kismet files in ubuntu 10.04
[15:07] <skorv> anyone has any idea where they are?
[15:07] <ruan> is it possible to view images in terminal or am i going too far?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> info kismet
[15:07] <jrib> ruan: it's possible... see fbi
[15:07] <adub__> running xfce my wireless icon in the upper right has disappeared dunno why how can i get it back???
[15:07] <randyJ> Disturbed1: so, linuxmce is not a user-id on your computer?
[15:07] <gaelfx> Launchpad is sooooo slow in China
[15:08] <Disturbed1> i guess not.  i really don't know.  i'm still a noob at that, and at using terminal.
[15:08] <Disturbed1> lol
[15:08] <skorv> info kismet doesnt give me the path :P
[15:08] <WeThePeople> what is an openbox session
[15:08] <ruan> terminal has an irc client and a browser, so it is quite good

[15:09] <souterrain> Is it preferable to use x86 or amd64 when installing ubuntu on macbook2,1?
[15:09] <souterrain> i.e., are there any driver caveats to be concerned with using 64-bit?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> souterrain: how much ram do you have
[15:09] <ruan> souterrain: depends on the specifications
[15:09] <souterrain> 2GB RAM
[15:09] <ruan> souterrain: 32bit then
[15:09] <geekbri> anybody know of good documentation for creating your own init scripts on ubuntu ?
[15:09] <jrib> souterrain: 64-bit installer for 10.10 won't work (see release notes), so if you want 64bit 10.10, use 10.04 and upgrade
[15:09] <juk> somebody removed it, was yesterday
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> souterrain: then either is fine
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> geekbri: bum can help
[15:10] <jrib> !upstart | geekbri
[15:10] <ruan> so it's possible to see an image in terminal?
[15:11] <geekbri> yes i was trying to use init.d so as to make it easily usable on my debian boxes as well :)
[15:11] <souterrain> Any benefit from using 64-bit other than "zomg 64 bit!"
[15:11] <gaelfx> ruan: you can watch movies in terminal using vlc, it's trippy and awesome
[15:11] <ruan> gaelfx: wow
[15:11] <geekbri> souterrain: double the amount of addressable space for the cpu ?
[15:11] <jrib> geekbri: then read /etc/init.d/skeleton
[15:11] <geekbri> jrib: thanks
[15:11] <souterrain> geekbri: yes, but only 2GB RAM...
[15:11] <gaelfx> ruan: it's all ascii artish, but often the colors aren't wrong
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> souterrain: if you do a lot of sound manipulation of video rendering it will help
[15:12] <souterrain> geekbri: 32-bit should go to... 4GB is it?
[15:12] <ruan> i dont mind acii :D
[15:12] <ruan> ascii*
[15:12] <gaelfx> geekbri: double? you're kidding, right?
[15:12] <shaullx> hi, i can't mount my sd card, dmesg prints this: [ 2492.912847] usb-storage: device scan complete [ 2492.913465] scsi 17:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Motorola A853             0001 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 [ 2492.913855] sd 17:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 [ 2492.917820] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> souterrain: you can install PAE to access 64Gb RAM but each process will only be able to use 3.2Gb RAM
[15:12] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip: i have deleted my admin pass for WinXP through knoppix using chntpw, but i still cant login into it, any ideas
[15:12] <gaelfx> !pb | shaullx
[15:12] <souterrain> gaelfx: hah, yeah, you're right
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: did you set a blank pass?
[15:12] <jrib> ruan: you'll see the actual image with something like fbi
[15:12] <shaullx> it wasn't that long x.x
[15:12] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip: yes
[15:13] <Roasted__> Has anybody used Wifi Radar? I'm using it to map out the MAC addresses of which access points are where in our buildings, but I noticed Wifi Radar is returning me a Mac address that isn't 100% to the sticker on the AP I'm looking at. It's off by 2 digits. Uhh??
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: and did you let the chkdsk complete?
[15:13] <souterrain> ActionParsnip: oh, the registers are also 64-bit, ok
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> Roasted__: nmap is good like that
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> souterrain: ?
[15:13] <Roasted__> ActionParsnip, it'll handle what I need?
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> souterrain: yes in the cpu the registers are 64bits long
[15:14] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip: idk, i let the chntpw complete, but i didnt use chkdsk
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> Roasted__: if you are finding mac addresses, it should be fine
[15:14] <souterrain> ActionParsnip: regarding your comment about video/audio editing, I imagine large registers would help in this regard
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: usually windows panics and chkdsks after you use the app
[15:14] <gaelfx> is launchpad really slow for anyone else?
[15:14] <souterrain> But ultimately I was concerned with certain hardware drivers being 32-bit only.
[15:15] <paulina> yeas you do mbi cos
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> souterrain: yes, SQL servers also benefit too, anything data intensive benefits. Standard word processing and web browsing doesn't benefit much at ll
[15:15] <paulina> ola
[15:15] <gaelfx> souterrain: most drivers are built-in to the kernel, so I wouldn't worry about that so much
[15:15] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip:  so should i run chkdsk in knoppix for the windows F.S.?
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: its the central point for hundreds of projects, so its usually busy and therefore, slow
[15:16] <souterrain> gaelfx: the weird one is the internal Apple iSight
[15:16] <gui_> yl
[15:16] <gaelfx> souterrain: when the 64-bit kernel first came out, it was a mess getting anything to work, but nowadays, it's pretty awesome

[15:17] <souterrain> jrib: iirc, I installed xubuntu 10.10 x86_64 without issue... different installer I suppose?

[15:19] <BajK> to make a /usr/share/autostart not being triggered, is it enough to just rename it to .desktop_ ?
[15:19] <Roasted__> ActionParsnip, is zenmap what you were referring to? Isn't nmap an actual terminal app or command?
[15:20] <paulina> hello my name is paulina i love you.

[15:23] <erUSUL> paulina: tienes que escribir "/join #ubuntu-es" sin las comillas y darle a enter en donde escribes normalmente para entrar en el canal en castellano.
[15:23] <Roasted__> ActionParsnip, well my goal is to walk into an area and based on signal strength determine exactly whcih access point is placed where based on mac address. How would nmap via terminal help in that case? Would it be able to tell me that info?

[15:30] <souterrain> jrib: so, upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 will not induce a non-bootable condition, it only affects the CD boot?

[15:32] <gaelfx> theos: well, if it has DRM, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to play it. You could always try using iTunes in Wine, if you're really that desparate for it

[15:39] <phox_> Hi! I am running the latest version of Ubuntu, and have a second harddrive with windows installed on it. When I boot, how do I remove the windows alternative? I want the disk itself to not have an operating system, not just disable the alternative.
[15:39] <juk> Dr_Willis: on spnish?

[15:43] <amithiel> hello guys. Anyonw know a rumour of a kernel being made with support for "optimus" ? also known as: graphic card switching
[15:43] <amithiel> don't know if thats true
[15:43] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip, ok, im in knoppix now. i have changed the password, how do i know if windoe F.S. has run chkdsk?
[15:44] <erUSUL> amithiel: work is being done in it... but as everything with gaphics in linux ( and more so with the uncooperative nvidia ) progress is slow
[15:44] <amithiel> cool =). i don't care if it takes 1 year. so, then the guyst at nouveau must be working on a driver too, right?
[15:45] <amithiel> btw, talking about asus with nvidia+intel
[15:45] <WeThePeople> erUSUL, is using ATI better for linux OS
[15:45] <xtbgod> what do i have to do if i want to play .mov videos?
[15:45] <AbhijiT> !restricted | xtbgod
[15:45] <gaelfx> WeThePeople: most people would tell you know, and I would agree with them
[15:45] <gaelfx> *no
[15:45] <amithiel> intel hd works just fine and with lots of compiz effects, i don't have any complaint at all. but of course, it will be better when nvidia joins it
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: when you boot windows it will automagically happen
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> xtbgod: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs from the medibuntu repo (I assume 32bit OS and Gnome desktop)
 apt-get install ubuntuone-client-gnome
[15:46] <mix22891>  --work for me

[15:47] <mix22891> at all
[15:47] <Neosano> ruan, what?? :O
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> ruan: can you explain what "linux format" is?
[15:47] <gaelfx> ruan: you just boggled my mind
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> mix22891: its a terminal command
[15:48] <xtbgod> ActionParsnip, thank you i'll try it
[15:48] <ruan> i mean, for a lobby that works under windows to launch a game that works under linux
[15:48] <Pici> !who
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> ruan: so a wrapper to run linux games in windows?
[15:48] <ruan> ActionParsnip: yes
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> ruan: most linux games have windows ports, unlike windows devs whom neglect linux
[15:49] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: hear, hear
[15:49] <ruan> ActionParsnip: the game is linux/windows, but i think it'll run better on linux
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> ruan: deoends on how supported your hardware is and how the game is coded :)
[15:50] <needhelpplis> I got this old laptop with a sitecom wifi card (those big ass cards).   iwconfig shows - - - lo no wireless extensions. eth0  - - - no wireless extensions. Anyone that can help me get this right? In addition I have done a ndiswrapper guide without luck.
[15:51] <Bomonu> could someone tell me where the icons are stored in the file system?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> needhelpplis: run: sudo lshw -C network    and you will see the chip used, you can find guides based on that
[15:51] <juk> Bomonu: /usr/share/{icons,pixmaps}
[15:52] <ntr0py> Is there an interface to tune HDD/FS-access? I need to get the disc access smoother on heavy disk load...

[15:57] <needhelpplis> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/xZsZHhvA
[15:57] <Mike__> where i can acces with terminal
[15:57] <juk> Mike__: mount | grep sr0
[15:57] <gaelfx> Mike_ oops, um, /mnt ?
[15:57] <ruan> possibly in /mnt yeah
[15:57] <Mike__> gaelfx: not there.
[15:57] <ruan> where is the mount point?
[15:58] <gaelfx>  /media?
[15:58] <erUSUL> Bomonu: /usr/share/pixmaps/
[15:58] <juk> Mike__: ah iso then: mount | grep loop
[15:58] <Mike__> i looked there too
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> needhelpplis: ok, its this: SiteCom Europe BV Device 9780 (rev 01)    it will help find guides
[15:58] <Bomonu> erUSUL, ty
[15:58] <needhelpplis> ok ill start looking
[15:59] <needhelpplis> ActionParsnip, ok ill start looking around. thanks so far :)
[15:59] <gaelfx> Mike_ if it shows up in Places, did you try hovering your mouse over it? That shows the path for a lot of other things
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> needhelpplis: what is the output of: lsusb too, just for completeness
[16:00] <Prolac> how can I get into real console in ubuntu?
[16:00] <needhelpplis> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/8z4DStFS
[16:00] <gaelfx> Mike_ or go to "Computer" and right-click the mounted iso and select properties
[16:00] <erUSUL> Prolac: define real console
[16:01] <Mike__> gaelfx: hovering over it, shows only the name of te iso
[16:01] <edbian> What is the command equivalent of system -> admin -> preferred applications ?
[16:01] <gaelfx> Mike_ how about properties?
[16:01] <Mike__> gaelfx: Volume: <isoname>.iso
[16:01] <ruan> Prolac: terminal or a fullscreen console?
[16:01] <Prolac> not the pseudo one, the "real" one, the key combo which works on debian doesn't work on ubuntu for some reason
[16:01] <ruan> the fullscreen terminal?
[16:01] <Prolac> yep
[16:01] <BHXSpecter> Im on the live CD for Ubuntu 10.10 and have my drive separated to swap, /, /home and I finally got GDM recovered, but now it appears that I don't have gnome desktop....is there a way to recover the default desktop while under the live cd?
[16:02] <ruan> ctrl + alt F2, but remember: ctrl alt f7/f8 etc to exit
[16:02] <gaelfx> Prolac: ctl+alt+f2?
[16:02] <juk> !recover | BHXSpecter
[16:02] <needhelpplis> ActionParsnip, any additional info in there?
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> needhelpplis: ok, no help with lsusb
[16:03] <Phoenixz> At the risk of asking for the obvious.. Is it normal that the shockwave flash plugin for chromium crashes just about ever 5 minutes while playing youtube videos? Specially when I close a completely unrelated tab, the @#$()* plugin crashes.. Is this some pre-alpha version or something?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> Phoenixz: shockwave and flash are different
[16:04] <Prolac> @ ruan: yeah, thats not working, could it be because its vmware install?
[16:04] <ruan> Prolac: possibly
[16:05] <gaelfx> does apt-p2p help with downloading ppas too? I can almost never get anything from launchpad
[16:05] <ruan> Prolac: tried ctrl alt f1-f6?
[16:06] <Scarra3_> Hello anyone have an alps touchpad that they got to work on 10.10
[16:06] <Prolac> @ ruan: yeah :(
[16:06] <ruan> i googled and found http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-switch-to-console-mode-for-ubuntu-vmware-guest/
[16:07] <bullgard> [Maverick] pstree shows that init spawns the process seahorse and the process seahorse-daemon. Does the process seahorse-daemon run on all Ubuntu computers, or what program does generate the process seahorse-daemon?
[16:07] <ruan> may or may not work
[16:07] <ruan> but worth a try.
[16:07] <Nick12345> hello, is anybody here who can tell me if its possible to receive data from a scanner with a c++ prog?
[16:07] <Prolac> thanks ruan
[16:07] <ruan> np, good luck
[16:07] <gaelfx> or here's a better question, is there something wrong with the rvm mplayer ppa? I can't seem to get the repo list at all
[16:08] <edbian> What is the command equivalent of system -> admin -> preferred applications ?
[16:09] <BHXSpecter> juk thanks but I'm not doing data recover ....recover is a bad choice of words, I installed a gnome feature and told it to remove....to my surprise it removed all gnome desktop stuff, but I don't know how to tell it to install the desktop again to fix it
[16:09] <Pici> gaelfx: Can you see the ppa on launchpad itself?
[16:09] <peter634> hi all  not so new to ubuntu 10.10 i got a problem i have removed the speaker from the top task bar by mistake how do i get it back ?
[16:09] <gaelfx> Pici: I'm trying to do that now, but it's taking ages to load
[16:09] <juk> !ubuntu-desktop | BHXSpecter
[16:09] <ruan> peter634: add to panel > indicator applet
[16:09] <ruan> right click
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> BHXSpecter:  try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[16:09] <gaelfx> I'm starting to fear that the Chinese government decided launchpad was some kind of threat to national security or young minds or something
[16:10] <peter634> thank you ruan
[16:10] <juk> BHXSpecter: sorry, for bad choise of words, use Dr_Willis command
[16:10] <gaelfx> https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/smplayer maybe someone else will have more luck than I?
[16:10] <delemi> Just a general question. I encrypted a raid array for a dentists office today, he is running server v10 w/ all updates. He asked me if there was a destructive encryption in case some one tried to access it. Like a 3 tries system and then it corrupts the data. He has secure backup offsite. He is worried about patient records.
[16:11] <Pici> gaelfx: Let me take a look
[16:11] <Nick12345> please tell me if its possible to receive data from a scanner using c++, with an API or sth like that
[16:11] <Pici> gaelfx: Loaded here.  What release of Ubuntu are you using?
[16:11] <gaelfx> maverick
[16:12] <Pici> Nick12345: Thats not within the scope of this channel, try ##C++, you'll need to register/identify to join though
[16:12] <edbian> Nick12345, It is possible.  (more likely you'd wanna work in c)  essentially what you're talking about is writing the driver.
[16:12] <edbian> What is the command equivalent of system -> admin -> preferred applications ?
[16:12] <docfxit>  Is there a way to have Show Join/part messages unchecked automatically in XChat when I connect to a channel?.
[16:12] <Pici> !register > Nick12345

[16:12] <Pici> gaelfx: That ppa doesn't publish any Maverick packages.
[16:12] <erUSUL> delemi: dunno maybe there is some pam module to do something after failed login attemps...
[16:13] <gaelfx> Pici: Thank you so much for clarifying that for me, I was about to go nucking futs
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: http://ppa.launchpad.net/rvm/smplayer/ubuntu/dists/
[16:14] <drc> docfxit: you want the join/part messages to show or not show?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: only up to lucid
[16:15] <delemi> erusul: I understand his paranoia, he has the right idea. Especially since they digitized all patient records for use an tablets and easy mobility. I was just curious. What about possibly writing a script that erases the first 10 sectors on the HD, simular to what spinwrite use to do.
[16:15] <docfxit> drc: I'd like them not to show.  So there would not be a check mark.
[16:16] <needhelpplis> ActionParsnip, im so lost.... could you help me find a decent guide?im so bumdout
[16:16] <drc> docfxit: /set irc_conf_mode 1
[16:16] <scarface> Is it true that wubi.exe needs the desktop .iso file to do an installation?  Won't it read the files off the CD that you just burned?
[16:16] <andreylosev> does anyone use an eeepc from the 1000x series?
[16:16] <docfxit>  /set irc_conf_mode 1
[16:16] <Mike__> gaelfx:I have mounted the iso with mount command, and now everything is fine. Thanks for all!
[16:16] <drc> docfxit: space in front?
[16:16] <gaelfx> Mike_ no prob!
[16:16] <ruan> scarface: if it has been extracted or burned, it will read off the files
[16:16] <docfxit>   /set irc_conf_mode 1
[16:17] <usr13> Firefox on my Ubuntu 10.04 system refuses to usr flashplayer and says: "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed."  Anyone have an idea as to how to fix it? (Must be that my firefox is configured not to use it. That's all I can figure...)
[16:17] <drc> docfxit: I meant you don't want a space...
[16:17] <gaelfx> I guess I have to use Nvidia vdpau ppa instead :S
[16:17] <usr13> *refuses to USE
[16:17] <craigbass1976> Is there an ubuntu tutorial for installing horde3?  Everything I see in the forums either has no replies, or is old
[16:17] <usr13> not usr
[16:18] <docfxit> drc: That's great.  I removed the space.  Now will it not show every time I get out of xchat and get back in?
[16:18] <scarface> ruan, I created a USB drive using unetbootin from the .iso.  Then plugged in the drive in Windows, ran Wubi, and it looks like it's downloading an iso rather than reading from the USB drive.
[16:18] <bullgard> [Maverick] pstree shows that init spawns the process seahorse and the process seahorse-daemon. Does the process seahorse-daemon run on all Ubuntu computers, or what program does generate the process seahorse-daemon?
[16:19] <drc> works form me :)  you can do the same thing by editing the xchat.conf in your ~/.xchat2 folder
[16:19] <gaelfx> craigbass1976: is that a windows game?
[16:19] <craigbass1976> gaelfx, no, web based email client
[16:19] <usr13> Anyone know how to get flashplayer to work? (On firefox 3.6.13)
[16:20] <ruan> usr13: did you install it yet?
[16:20] <Cali> ?
[16:20] <usr13> ruan: Yes, several times.
[16:21] <tyler_d> how do you get the core temp from terminal?

[16:21] <graytron> sudo netstat -tlp ?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> usr13: remove all flash plugins and then install flashplugin-nonfree
[16:22] <graytron> actually sudo netstat -tlpn
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> needhelpplis: I'd try ndisgtk
[16:22] <docfxit> drc: That's great.  Thanks.  I'm looking for the folder now.
[16:22] <usr13> ActionParsnip: I tried that but will try again.

[16:24] <needhelpplis> ActionParsnip, program manager says its already a newer version installed

[16:25] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: thank you very much :D
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> needhelpplis: then use it with the windows driver for the device
[16:25] <docfxit> drc:  I can't find the folder anyplace.
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: I got the thing to use with add-apt-repositor from the page, you can see it for yourself

[16:28] <gustavjoh1> Hi! Where can I find help if I bought  a software in Ubuntu and it failed to install?
[16:28] <juk> gustavjoh1: in my nightmare
[16:29] <gaelfx> gustavjoh1: hopefully where ever you bought it from, what software is it?
[16:29] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Still getting error: "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".  Any other suggestions?
[16:29] <gustavjoh1> Ubuntu software store (i'm not sure that's the english name for it)
[16:29] <gustavjoh1> Illumination Software Creator
[16:29] <gaelfx> aw, sheesh, they also don't have anything for maverick :S
[16:29] <usr13> !synaptic
[16:30] <IdleOne> gustavjoh1: what errors are you getting?
[16:30] <lrb> tyler_d: try acpi -t
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> ive not even noticed whats in the comercial part of the software center.
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> I fear that someday it will get as cluttere3d with trivial $3 apps like my android market. :)

[16:32] <gaelfx> later folks
[16:32] <fnordperfect> Hi! I've trouble resizing (growing) an ext4 filesystem. What is flex_bg flag, and is there a way to remove it?
[16:32] <usr13> ActionParsnip: I think I may have found the problem: Binary files /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so and /home/gayle/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so differ
[16:32] <bullgard> I did not call the program seahorse. Why does exist the process seahorse-daemon?
[16:33] <alisalaah> Ubuntu Software Center?
[16:33] <tyler_d> lrb: no joy
[16:33] <gustavjoh1> Well the the Ubuntu Software center tells me again and again when I try to install Illumination that it "uppdating cache"
[16:33] <juk> !info seahorse
[16:34] <usr13> ActionParsnip: And the date  2007-06-19 on /home/gayle/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so indicates that it is the one that is too old and is what is being used now.
[16:35] <Zoxc> are there prebuilt gallium drivers with opengl es 2 support for ubuntu?
[16:35] <gustavjoh1> And after a while a error message (that I'll soon post) said something like "can't download or reach server"
[16:36] <berefeira> anyone use miredo? having trouble getting browser to use tunnel
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  seahorse is the keyring manager tool
[16:37] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Yep, that was it.  I preplaced /home/gayle/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so and that fixed it.  SO, that tells us that if the file exists there, it will use it.  I should delete that file.

[16:39] <juk> usr13: can you tell how did you fix flashplugin, just in case im going to do sins...
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> docfxit:  if it exists it would be in the .xchat directory i belive

[16:39] <basy> My network adapter disappear form kernel, [ifconfig print only "lo" interface] What should i supose to do ? All happens after last update
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> basy:  what sort of network card?
[16:40] <coraxx> hey all.  Here is a good question .... if you have some raw text you wish to print in Ubuntu (or really to convert to PostScript or PDF) ... and the text has about 160 chars. per line ....how does one do that from the command line (or otherwise) ?
[16:40] <drc> docfxit: is a .xchat folder there (in your home directory)?
[16:40] <usr13> ActionParsnip: I also have it in /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/  (I wonder if it belongs there too?)  (I have deleted it from /home/gayle/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so and all still works fine, so I think that was a step in the right direction.)
[16:40] <drc> docfxit: er... .xchat2 folder
[16:40] <gustavjoh1> IdleOne: http://paste.ubuntu.com/571218/
[16:40] <basy> Dr_Willis: normal NIC was eth0 befor

[16:40] <alisalaah> Ubuntu 10.10 :: How do I find out what is using port 8080 and kill it so i can get port 8080 free?
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> basy:  check dmesg command see if any error messages show up. You may want to try rebooting and using an older kernel.
[16:41] <alisalaah> oh sorry
[16:41] <alisalaah> was answered my internets a bit buggy
[16:41] <basy> <Dr_Willis: thanks
[16:41] <usr13> ActionParsnip: ntr0py Since the date on that file is today's date, that probably indicates that it is supposed to be there.

[16:42] <docfxit> drc:  maybe I don't have the correct version of xchat.  The last version I had I was able to change the color of my user name by changing #30

[16:42] <pheonixman> i have a written a code but while compiling it in gcc it gives me error of "undefined reference"

[16:43] <IdleOne> gustavjoh1: seems that site does not think you have access to the repository. how long ago did you buy the app?
[16:43] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: I know that.But this does not answer the question which I have put.
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: i'd ask in #c++
[16:43] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, yup
[16:44] <usr13> ntr0py: "env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 firefox"  didn't seem to report anything.  Was it supposed to?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: or ##programming
[16:44] <gustavjoh1> IdleOne: About half an hour
[16:44] <ntr0py> usr13: my chromium dev did work with the newest x64 beta, but since you asked i tried and ff flash had no display on my box, starting via "env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 firefox" solved it (its a compiz related issue it seams... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10317206
[16:44] <IdleOne> gustavjoh1: have you tried closing Software Center and opening it again?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> ntr0py: also, what does it do please
[16:44] <drc> docfxit: Now I'm confused...is there something peculiar about your setup or installation I don't know about?
[16:45] <asif> how can i install .exe file
[16:45] <IdleOne> asif: with WINE
[16:45] <juk> crappy flash meesed up all over /usr/lib + /etc with symlinks
[16:45] <IdleOne> asif: what are you trying to install?
[16:45] <brontoeee> asif, if you have wine installed then basically double-click should do
[16:45] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis: is it ok if i pm you
[16:45] <ntr0py> ActionParsnip: it sets a temp environment with that variable and then launches ff
[16:45] <asif> internet download manager (idm)
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> ntr0py: cool, but what does the variable achieve?
[16:46] <usr13> ntr0py: My problem was that there was an old version of libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  i baby sitting.. so ima have to vanish at any time
[16:46] <docfxit> drc: I found it in /home/ubuntu/.xchat2 but I don't have a file called xchat.conf
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> asif: there are loads of download managers for linux....
[16:46] <asif> such as.....
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> asif: uget, jdownloader
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> docfxit:  thers proberly some save settings feature in the client tha tmay make one. or it just uses defauilts if that file dosent exist
[16:47] <ntr0py> ActionParsnip: Dunno just found it there: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1658439
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> asif: fatrat
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> ntr0py: good enough :)
[16:47] <juk> it was just one stupid .so how comes so many symlinks
[16:47] <coraxx> hey all.  Here is a good question .... if you have some raw text you wish to print in Ubuntu (or really to convert to PostScript or PDF) ... and the text has about 160 chars. per line ....how does one do that from the command line (or otherwise) ?
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> asif: gwget
[16:48] <asif> after re-start computer or log off doesn't resume downloads i've tried many download manager
[16:48] <gustavjoh1> IdleOne, tried restarting my computer as well and that didn't work
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> asif: multiget, kget, tucan
[16:48] <sipior> coraxx: check out "enscript"
[16:49] <docfxit> drc:  Yes there is.  I'm running this from a thumb drive.  Maybe that would make a difference.
[16:49] <coraxx> sipior: thanx ...I'll do that right now ;-)
[16:49] <IdleOne> gustavjoh1: you may need to either contact the vendor of that Software (the company that makes it) or Canonical you can get contact info on www.canonical.com for the latter.
[16:50] <drc> docfxit: er...silly me, ~ is YOUR home directory (/home/drc for me) not /home (I take it your login is ubuntu)
[16:50] <IdleOne> gustavjoh1: first open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get update
[16:50] <asif> after log on or re-start computer automatically remove incompleted downloads why?
[16:50] <docfxit> That could be.  I haven't logged in.
[16:51] <gustavjoh1> IdleOne: Thanks for all help, I will try aging tomorrow and if that doesn't work I will get in contact whit either Canonical or Radicalbreeze, again thanks!
[16:51] <usr13> ActionParsnip: ntr0py:  It is also important to note that this system is pretty old, been upgraded for years, probably from Ubuntu 6.??  So and earlier install of flasplugin-nonfree probably just placed the file in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ (and it's not done that way anymore)
[16:51] <rspace> df -h says 280 gigs are used, yet when I cd / and df -ch --max-depth=1 I can only find 29 gigs in use. How can I find the missing gigs?
[16:51] <docfxit> How can I change the color of the entry when my user is in the text?
[16:51] <IdleOne> gustavjoh1: welcome. I am thinking the site may just be down for updates or something and it will work later.
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> docfxit:  in what text?
[16:52] <ntr0py> usr13: is it x86 or x64 arch?

[16:53] <lowbob> hi!  is it normal that, when i install programs in terminal, the download stops for a minute then resumes some seconds then stops for some minutes.......???

[16:54] <docfxit> Dr_Willis, I did.  In the last version of xchat I could change color #30.  This version doesn't have the numbers by the colors.
[16:55] <docfxit> Dr_Willis, I think I need to figure out how to upgrade this version.
[16:55] <lowbob> @dr. willis: it takes ages to install bigger programs like kde etc. my connection is only 660kb/sec but VERY stable
[16:55] <brontoeee> what would be an mp4 cutter with preview? avidemux behaves...
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> lowbob:  isps can have issues.. or the ubuntu servers.. hard to tell.

[16:57] <Dr_Willis> docfxit:  thers xchat and then theres xchat-gnome. the -gnome version is lacking a lot of features

[17:01] <rspace> http://pastebin.com/eyyUn8eJ <--- df -h shows 280 GB used, du -ch shows only 21G used. Help appreciated.
[17:01] <rspace> 250 gb used rather, but I can only find 20 gigs of it with du
[17:02] <rspace> so there is 200+ gigs of space somewhere on my disk I cannot find.
[17:02] <asif> how can i use wired & dsl network together?how?
[17:03] <brontoeee> rspace, sudo find / -type f -size +100000k

[17:03] <tjc_>  hi all!i have a proble with youtube videos!they dont load!and i cant watch them!
[17:03] <rspace> brontoeee: The files it finds are mysql-bin files in /var/log/mysql -- which is accounted for in the 20 GB
[17:04] <brontoeee> rspace, and http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/2008/10/disk-space-analyzers/
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  for xp questions see #windows
[17:04] <sipior> rspace: try running the "du | sort -nr", preferably on each of the top-level directories individually.
[17:04] <drc> Dr_Willis: Thanks, docfixit was really begining to confuse me...never thought about GNOME-xchat (hate it)
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> drc:  ive never seen anyone that likes it
[17:05] <anfegame> can anyone help me with this!!
[17:05] <anfegame> pls
[17:05] <rspace> sipior: Didn't help.
[17:05] <brontoeee> rspace, what would df -h return?
[17:05] <sipior> rspace: but what was the output?
[17:05] <rspace> brontoeee: df -h is in my pastebin, it says I have used 250 of 280 gb
[17:05] <asif> i want to use Wired & DSL network together-how?
[17:05] <rspace> sipior: The output was a lot of lines of files scrolling very fast
[17:06] <rspace> sipior: I used head to see the top most, and it was already accounted for
[17:06] <sipior> rspace: that's a good sign.
[17:06] <rspace> in short, using du, I cannot find any files that I do not already know exist. Yet somehow, there are 250+ ! gigabytes! that are somewhere on the disk, that I cannot find
[17:06] <brontoeee> rspace, hmm, right, i do remember i had a case of borken trashcan once, but the files were found with find, so that was the solution...
[17:06] <bencc> is it possible to mount skydrive in ubuntu?
[17:07] <rspace> when I do find or du, I do sometimes see a line that looks like this: find: /proc/13731/task/13731/fdinfo/5: No such file or directory
[17:07] <sipior> rspace: can you show the summaries of du on each of the top-level directories?
[17:07] <rspace> I am not sure if that matters
[17:07] <Linda> hi,when I run GNU sound editor mi computer restar
[17:07] <Linda> brings me to the log in screen

[17:08] <sipior> rspace: or "du -s"
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> c-unit:  clarify what you mean.
[17:09] <rspace> sipior: Ok I just did that for all high level dirs, nothing abnormal. Everything is consistent with what I would have if in fact 20ish gigs of space were really used.
[17:09] <bullgard> asif: You better specify more precisely what do you mean by "together". Note: A DSL network is a wired network.
[17:09] <fjmatt> Hello all..
[17:09] <fjmatt> I've got a real simple question... can somebody help me?
[17:10] <AbhijiT> fjmatt, ask
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> fjmatt:  state the problem
[17:10] <sipior> rspace: you might consider booting from a livecd or the like, and running fsck on the device in question.
[17:10] <asif> i want to use Wired & DSL network together-how?
[17:10] <asif> i want to use Wired & DSL network together-how?
[17:10] <Linda> can some one explain to me why when i run GNU sound editor my computer restart
[17:10] <fjmatt> I'm trying to run an ubuntu 10.10 livecd, and I can't figure out the login and password.
[17:10] <asif> i want to use Wired & DSL network together-how?
[17:10] <FloodBot1> asif: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:10] <bullgard> Why does seajorse need a running process?
[17:10] <c-unit> when i install conky-all from the package manager it enables alsa mixer, but not the audacious support, ans i want both so i tried compiling it enabling audacious and alsa but when i run conky it gives me the error that thers no dev/mixer
[17:10] <bullgard> Why does seahorse need a running process?
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> fjmatt:  it should auto login. or use 'ubuntu' and just hit return for the pass.
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  thats the name of the keyring manager tools i belive
[17:11] <fjmatt> OK, that one worked... thank you Willis.
[17:11] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: What is the name of the keyring manager tools?
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  err..'seahorse' is the name of the gui to the keyring manager
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> try running 'seahorse' from the clo
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> cli
[17:13] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: This does not answer the question which I have put.
[17:13] <g_0_0> !flash | tjc
[17:13] <bastidrazor> bullgard: seahorse handles the saved passwords on your box. seahorse-daemon would need to be running this to work
[17:14] <o67pc> Galera
[17:14] <g_0_0> tjc_, you need to install flash to watch youtube videos, ctrl alt t - then in terminal type -> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:14] <usr13> Has network-manager been deprecated?
[17:14] <o67pc> Eu to tendo um problema com o mono aqui
[17:14] <bullgard> bastidrazor: Why is there a need to use a running process to accomplish this simple task?
[17:14] <Pici> !br | o67pc
[17:14] <juk> hey, im a nice guy now, all what i needed is to put /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libgcflashplayer.so from mozilla's one, we cool :)
[17:15] <AbhijiT> juk, :D
[17:15] <bastidrazor> bullgard: a process needs to run for any task. is it really an issue?
[17:15] <Pici> bullgard: Because I believe that it also acts as an ssh-agent
[17:15] <juk> im not going to teract
[17:15] <bullgard> !NetworkManager | usr13
[17:16] <bullgard> bastidrazor: No. Most tasks do not need an always running process.
[17:16] <usr13> Has network-manager been deprecated?  Reson I asked, I did a 10.04 install for a girl a few weeks ago and found that it was not staying connected to the cable modem and so I had her install wicd and it seems to stay connected just fine now.
[17:16] <maco> usr13: no, its not
[17:16] <maco> usr13: if it was deprecated it wouldnt be installed by default
[17:16] <bullgard> Pici: Ah! I will need to think longer about your answer. --  Thank you.
[17:16] <IdleOne> usr13: no it isn't deprecated. sometimes it doesn't do what we expect it to though.
[17:16] <usr13> bullgard: Thanks for that.  I was thinking that networkmanager was for wired and wireless ... 'er well I guess it may have changed.
[17:17] <maco> usr13: it is for wired as well
[17:17] <maco> usr13: that factoid should probably be changed, but i think it was just comparing NM to using /etc/network/interfaces
[17:17] <Over-Life> (Helloà
[17:17] <Over-Life> )*
[17:18] <usr13> maco IdleOne well, wicd seems to work fine, so...
[17:18] <maco> usr13: then go with it
[17:19] <usr13> maco: I did.  (As I just said)
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> exit

[17:20] <lcb> Hi. is it possible to install Natty (from usb) without removing previous /home and other user directories/files? (after upgrading from 10.10 most of important services failed (network, desktop etc).
[17:20] <khamer> I've changed my root shell to something invalid; any ideas on how to fix it? I don't have access to sudo, though I do have the root pw and access to su
[17:21] <Bsims> I am having trouble with usb devices in kde... its autolaunching the gnome apps even though I told the device manager widget not to... I deleted .kde and that solves it, but then I can not arrange my icons on the taskbar the way I would like
[17:21] <khamer> (I did a chsh -s bash and didn't realize on ubuntu you need to put the full path to bash)
[17:21] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, you here
[17:22] <scarface> There is a "Search for Files" option under Places menu.  It lets you search for files that "Contains the text" that you specify, but the search isn't case-sensitive.  Is there a way to do a case-sensitive text search from this dialog?
[17:22] <CrystalLinux> I have a problem with ubuntu, when I have 2 windows open it throws me out.
[17:23] <niles> CrystalLinux: how so
[17:23] <niles> what happends to your windows
[17:23] <bullgard> CrystalLinux: You better describe more precisely what happens on your computer in order that people can help you here in this xhannel.
[17:24] <CrystalLinux> say I open XChat, then I open Firefox and I can't click anywhere.
[17:24] <pilas> I also have a problem with ubuntu: it doesnt cook, clean the house or iron my clothes... I want my money back... (Thanks for the advice, I will be back)
[17:24] <khamer> Is there a way to call sudo as a different user? as in, sudo from useraccount foo specifying username bar and the password for bar?
[17:24] <niles> xserver problem? do you think?

[17:25] <brontoeee> khamer, su bar and then sudo ?
[17:25] <niles> khamer: I do not know, sorry
[17:25] <khamer> brontoeee, bar = root and I accidentally set root's shell to 'bash' instead of '/bin/bash' and I'm trying to fix it
[17:26] <LetsGo67> Hello!  I cannot render higher than 240p in PiTiVi.  Can someone help me, please?
[17:26] <khamer> brontoeee, I was hoping I could do something like 'sudo -U root vim /etc/passwd' or such
[17:26] <Somon> what is the best download manager?
[17:26] <juk> !brainstorm | scarface:
[17:26] <brontoeee> Somon, wget
[17:27] <sipior> khamer: why not just "sudo vim /etc/passwd"?
[17:27] <khamer> sipior, because the user accounts don't have access to sudo; only su
[17:27] <sipior> khamer: that's unfortunate.
[17:27] <Brisperkele> my friend typed "sudo apt-get install ekiga", his command line said this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SBNBQmkW and froze, now when he tries to reboot it only tells something about "usb G15 blahblah" and it wont boot, what should we do?
[17:27] <bullgard> Pici: No, I cannot accept your anwer. At the same time there is aprocess ssh-agent and a process sshd running.
[17:27] <sipior> khamer: bring the system down to single user mode and fix the file.
[17:27] <bullgard> +s
[17:28] <niles> khamer: did you set this in .bash_profile of something like that?
[17:28] <khamer> sipior, its a remote server...
[17:28] <niles> where is this set
[17:28] <claw> hey there my mouse does not work anymore (on a other maschine it works fine) got the following error in the syslog : Hub 2-0:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port2 disabeled
[17:28] <khamer> niles, no, I did chsh -s bash, because on other OSs chsh doesn't take a full path to the shell
[17:28] <claw> what can i do ?
[17:28] <sipior> khamer: well, isn't this your lucky day?
[17:28] <sipior> khamer: (i'm having a rather similar one...)
[17:28] <Somon> when i restart my computer then automatically remove incompleted downloads-why please help me.........
[17:28] <niles> khamer: i do not know what chsh does so I am of no help here
[17:28] <khamer> sipior, I was hoping su -s /bin/bash would work, but it doesn't....
[17:29] <llutz> bullgard: sorry for very late response, if you're still interested: nmap -sP <network>      where network is like "192.168.1.0/24"   if you use 192.168.1.xxx ip-range with netmask 255.255.255.0
[17:29] <khamer> niles, chsh just changes the shell, I think it's a glorified /etc/passwd editor
[17:29] <bullgard> Brisperkele: 1.) cite the complete error message here. 2.) Google for the precise error message in Launchpad.

[17:30] <AbhijiT> slb_, name and version
[17:30] <guntbert> tomasm-: mail servers are never zero setup

[17:31] <AbhijiT> aaaah
[17:31] <Brisperkele> my friend typed "sudo apt-get install ekiga", his command line said this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SBNBQmkW and froze, now when he tries to reboot it only tells something about "sata link down, no init found try passing= init bootarg" and it wont boot, what should we do?

[17:31] <LetsGo67> Hello again! I cannot render higher than 240p in PiTiVi. Can someone help me, please?
[17:31] <khamer> sipior, no, it doesn't, still get a "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory"
[17:31] <khamer> sipior, hm, I wonder if I cd bin?
[17:31] <guntbert> tomasm-: you don't need a mail server to get/read your mail, a mail client is enough
[17:31] <khamer> sipior, AH HA
[17:31] <sipior> khamer: might be worth a try.
[17:31] <defsum> Hi all, need help getting direct Gigabit Ethernet connection between Ubuntu 10.10 PC <-> Macbook (late 2007). Both are set to manual ip (192.168.2.1-2), both supports gigabit, cat.5e cable. Connection working well, but e.g. transmitting movie speed ~260Mbps max, which is too slow.
[17:31] <khamer> sipior, VICTORY IS MINE
[17:32] <sipior> khamer: i guess that's good, then
[17:32] <brontoeee> tomasm-, reading mail and being a mail provider are two things
[17:32] <llutz> bullgard: but even that won't find hosts filtering ICMP. afaik there is no perfect solution to find all hosts in a network except using special switches or other expensive hardware
[17:32] <tomasm-> guntbert, brontoeee , no i mean serving mail from my new ubuntu server
[17:32] <slb_> Brisperkele, not an expert but looks line either a permissions problem or a input/output (cannot read files) error

[17:33] <Roasted> got it.
[17:33] <guntbert> tomasm-: please join me in #ubuntu-server, the place is more quiet
[17:33] <Brisperkele> my friend typed "sudo apt-get install ekiga", his command line said this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SBNBQmkW and froze, now when he tries to reboot it only tells something about "sata link down, no init found try passing= init bootarg" and it wont boot, what should we do?
[17:33] <Roasted> thanks drc, gohan
[17:33] <Roasted> For some reason I can't boot Kubuntu 10.10 on this Optiplex 740. I used CD, USB, MD5's match, etc.
[17:33] <khamer> sipior, that was lucky :P
[17:33] <khamer> sipior, thanks for the thoughts
[17:34] <Roasted> These Optiplex 740's are such brats.
[17:34] <Brisperkele> my friend typed "sudo apt-get install ekiga", his command line said this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SBNBQmkW and froze, now when he tries to reboot it only tells something about "sata link down, no init found try passing= init bootarg" and it wont boot, what should we do?
[17:34] <LetsGo67> Hello professional Ubuntu users!  I have a very important announcement to make.  I cannot render higher than 240p in PiTiVi. Can someone help me, please?
[17:34] <sipior> khamer: sure. i'm curious why -m didn't work, as it is supposed to launch your own login shell (instead of the target's). still, glad you've got it fixed.
[17:34] <bullgard> Brisperkele: Your package system is not in order. First try to run update-manager until it does not throw any error. Then try again installing Empathy.
[17:34] <drc> Roasted: gohan had the short answer, but knowing you a bit, I thought you'd also want the long answer too
[17:34] <brontoeee> LetsGo67, i'd use something like kdenlive instead
[17:34] <ruan> [ if exist file.dat (rm file.dat) ] what am i doing wrong? sh script
[17:35] <juk> LetsGo67: im flatered!
[17:35] <bullgard> Brisperkele: Your package system is not in order. First try to run update-manager until it does not throw any error. Then try again installing Ekiga.
[17:35] <Brisperkele> bullgard but the whole system wont boot
[17:35] <Roasted> drc, I actually googled it and beat both of ya to the chase by a matter of nanoseconds. Xchat flashed up when I had received the MD5 ont he ISO. Guess I jumped the gun and asked too soon. :P
[17:35] <LetsGo67> Brontoeee: I already started all my hard work using PiTiVi.  It will only export 240p Theora.
[17:35] <khamer> sipior, I think that su does a check to make sure that the target's shell is valid (probably executable) so that when someone sets a shell to /dev/null or such it blocks su
[17:35] <LetsGo67> juk: Glad you feel that way.  :)
[17:35] <chrispercol2> hi, how do I boot into console, not gui in 10.10? thanks
[17:35] <bullgard> !boot | Brisperkele
[17:35] <khamer> sipior, I think I'm just lucky that I set it to a relative path so I could trick it into working :P
[17:35] <brontoeee> LetsGo67, that was a silly decision on your part, always check entire video workflow on small sample set
[17:35] <slb_> Brisperkele, i would start from scratch and reinstall
[17:35] <drc> Roasted: OK, next time I'll just say RTFM, it's faster :)
[17:36] <sipior> khamer: yes, an errant slash or whatever would've been a lot harder to deal with...
[17:36] <Brisperkele> slb_ okay, is there a way to test the hard drive from a live-usb or something?
[17:36] <Roasted> drc, I assume if I CD into the directory of /media/KubuntuCDIBurned and run md5sum I'd get the MD5 of that disc?
[17:36] <Brisperkele> I mean to check that here are no hardware problems
[17:36] <khamer> sipior, for sure
[17:36] <Roasted> drc, or can I only get the MD5 after burning it? I remember K3B showing me the MD5 in the log after a burn sesison
[17:36] <LetsGo67> Brontoeee: Well that's how Ubuntu works, isn't it?
[17:36] <sriram> finger #sriram
[17:36] <sipior> khamer: ah, i misread the man page. if the target's shell is "unusual", it will refuse to run (even though that's not the shell it would invoke anyway)
[17:36] <sriram> finger sriram
[17:37] <brontoeee> LetsGo67, huh?
[17:37] <Roasted> drc, it's just sitting here with a flashing cursor after running md5sum within the CD dir, that's why I'm like, uhh?
[17:37] <ruan> [ if exist "file.dat" rm file.dat ] what am i doing wrong? sh script
[17:37] <slb_> Brisperkele, just try and install and if it works, hard drive must be ok, youc could also open computer and check cables
[17:37] <alisalaah> What is the correct way to uninstall a program I installed via an SH script (springsource tools STS, eclipse build)
[17:37] <juk> LetsGo67: did you try mencoder or ffmpeg?
[17:37] <Brisperkele> well thats a shit advice, I mean if the hard drive has faulty sectors or something and it happens again, it doesnt really serve as a computer for him now does it?
[17:38] <khamer> sipior, haha, "unusual"
[17:38] <LetsGo67> juk: How do I do that?
[17:38] <LetsGo67> Brontoeee: Glitchy apps.
[17:38] <khamer> sipior, horray for the server being not broken
[17:38] <slb_> Brisperkele, it is also free advice, if you have better, then you don't need me
[17:38] <sipior> khamer: indeed
[17:38] <bullgard> llutz: In my (rather simple) case it worked. --  What do you mean by "special switches"? Hardware or software switches?
[17:38] <llutz> alisalaah: check the isntall-script for an "uninstall" option or check what it does when installing and revert it
[17:38] <guntbert> !language | Brisperkele
[17:38] <Brisperkele> slb_ true, shit advice is shit
[17:39] <ruan> does anyone here know basic sh scripting?
[17:39] <guntbert> Brisperkele: mind your language please
[17:39] <juk> LetsGo67: you were you cant output more that 256p in pitivi?
[17:39] <Brisperkele> shit shit shit
[17:39] <llutz> bullgard: manageable switches often have functions to list all connected hosts
[17:39] <LetsGo67> juk: Only the 240p setting works.  Anything smaller or larger or non-Theroa refuses to work.
[17:39] <ruan> if exist "file.dat" rm file.dat         what am i doing wrong?
[17:40] <bullgard> ruan: There is an IRC channel #bash.
[17:40] <ruan> alright, but this is extremely basic
[17:41] <cftygv> hey
[17:41] <Pici> ruan: So that makes it even more on-topic for that channel.
[17:41] <Pici> ruan: They are very helpful there.
[17:41] <bullgard> llutz: Yes. Thank you for explaining.
[17:41] <noecc> Does pinning php to 5.2 have any effect on future apache (mod-php) updates,
[17:41] <ruan> yeah but its the most basic and simple script ever
[17:42] <Josef_B> hi all .. i want to control my ubuntu machine from a windows computer .. what is a good tools / app ?
[17:42] <Pici> ruan: There are many things wrong with that script, they have links that can get you more accquanted with scripting.

[17:42] <obiyoda> I"ve installed a new 8.04 lts server but it doesn't have a crontab command where would I get that from I can't find it in the repos
[17:42] <LetsGo67> Oh please help people this is overwhelming and 240p is way too small when I was filming in 720p it's not fair that Linux does not have great and wonderful and noble movie editing software such as Windows Movie Maker it is really not fair that the rich steal from the poor it makes me want to cry because I got these two 720p HD video cameras as gifts and I want to use them and I am just getting started but it does not work with PiTiVi so please

[17:44] <Pici> Roasted: uname -m will show your architecture, /proc/cpuinfo show information about your processor itself, but I'm not sure what there can be used to tell what arch it is capable of.
[17:44] <obiyoda> ahh shoot don't have the cron package that was easy never mind
[17:44] <Roasted> Pici, i686 is 64 bit right

[17:47] <MagicJ> I have a computer in a public area and want to "lock down" the desktop.  I tried setting it and the icons therein to 511 and even 111 assuming that this would give me what I wanted.  It sort of is, BUT, right click still allows the icons to be edited.  How do I lock this down
[17:47] <sacarlson> Roasted: it's a safer bet to try the 32bit version

[17:49] <Dr_Willis> nitroxidus:  clarify what you mean.
[17:50] <sacarlson> c0nsense: one application for mem and cpu usage is called top
[17:50] <nitroxidus> one monitor in one workspace the second one on the second workspace
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> htop is nicer then top in ways. :)
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> nitroxidus:  work spaces dont work that way.
[17:50] <nitroxidus> crap
[17:50] <LetsGo67> kevin_ juk ubottu brontoeee http://pastebin.com/z1TpgBb6
[17:50] <nitroxidus> u sure
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> nitroxidus:  you could pin an app to be on 'all' workspaces so its always on monitor 2 if you wanted
[17:51] <nitroxidus> i could use compiy wall fucnstopn
[17:51] <Asad2005> what application to see my facebook message that i follow or like
[17:51] <c0nsense> sacarlson: just show cpu %
[17:51] <Roasted> wedwo-, I have "lm" listed within a LONG list of other things.

[17:52] <brontoeee> LetsGo67, please dont pitivi me, i said KDENLIVE , lol
[17:52] <mareksp> ehlo
[17:52] <sacarlson> c0nsense: no it has mem and cpu you must not read well
[17:52] <wedwo-> Roasted, then your cpu is 64bit

[17:52] <krycek> hi, is there anyone here playing Wow on linux? - Ubuntu maverick 10.10 ? i need tips to improve the fps. thanks
[17:52] <Roasted> wedwo-, then I wonder why this dang system won't boot kubuntu but itll boot ubuntu....
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> nitroxidus:  xinerama lets you have 2 monitors  showing one very wide (or tall) desktop. thats  not  really related to the workspaces.
[17:52] <Roasted> wedwo-, I thought for sure it had to be a 32b vs 64b thing, since ubuntu on it is 32 and the kubuntu I have is 64
[17:52] <LetsGo67> brontoeee: The work is saved in PiTiVi format.
[17:53] <bullgard> !language | bremner
[17:53] <nitroxidus> so it catn be done

[17:53] <mareksp> i need help, i have additional hdd now, but there is XP installed. can i resize NTFS part without data loss or have to defragment it first?
[17:53] <nitroxidus> like there is no waz
[17:53] <krycek> hi, is there anyone here playing Wow on linux? - Ubuntu maverick 10.10 ? i need tips to improve the fps. thanks
[17:53] <nitroxidus> to do it
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> nitroxidus:  workspaces dont work that way.. but you never said what you are actually trying to do..
[17:53] <nitroxidus> hmm
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> nitroxidus:  you can have a seperate X display for each monitor. then they are indipendant.
[17:54] <nitroxidus> how do i do that
[17:54] <IdleOne> mareksp: defrag it first
[17:54] <drc> LetsGo67: you might try #pitivi
[17:54] <wedwo-> Roasted, it may be something simple like vga, but I'm no good at troubleshooting that stuff. Press F2 or F3 before booting to get alternative boot options
[17:54] <LetsGo67> ONLY LE PHOQUE RENDERS IN 240P!
[17:54] <Guest72307> I'm trying to navigate with root privileges using nautilus, but i wish i could make this easy, with a symbolic link in the desktop. I'm trying to link mi XAMPP folder.
[17:54] <mareksp> thanks
[17:54] <trufoi> hi
[17:54] <mareksp> will it prevent ANY data loss?
[17:54] <trufoi> i installed once vim manually on ubuntu
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> Guest72307:   link it where?
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> Guest72307:  and from where..
[17:54] <trufoi> but now i want to install it from the ubuntu repositories
[17:54] <nitroxidus> tutorial
[17:55] <nitroxidus> and son on
[17:55] <trufoi> how can i remove the manual installed version of vim?
[17:55] <nitroxidus> so on
[17:55] <IdleOne> mareksp: can't hurt and you may want to backup any important data to make sure
[17:55] <docfxit> juk, I tried entering !trash in terminal and it couldn't find it.  What do I do with that?
[17:55] <brontoeee> LetsGo67, check what format is that and see if you can render that with something else...
[17:55] <LetsGo67> ONLY IN 240P when my Flip Video records in 720p!
[17:55] <LetsGo67> Brontoeee: Theora.
[17:55] <juk> LetsGo67: pastebin: lsb-release -a
[17:55] <juk> docfxit: nice :)
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> trufoi:  if by manual, you mean by compiling the source, you could try 'sudo make uninstall' in the source directory
[17:55] <IdleOne> mareksp: usually all goes off without a hitch but if you are concerned I suggest backups.
[17:55] <wedwo-> Roasted, I have a monitor that would only let me install 10.10 if I used vga=263 as a boot option
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> docfxit:  !STUFF in here are bot triggers.
[17:55] <sacarlson> c0nsense: as seen here:  23183 sacarlso  20   0  710m 568m 500m S   31 30.2  82:53.48 VirtualBox , that shows that virtualbox is using 30.2% of my mem
[17:55] <Guest72307> @Dr_Willis: in the deslkop, i wish a link to my XAMPP working folder, with priviledges, so i could create new folder there.
[17:55] <trufoi> Dr_Willis: ok i'll give a try
[17:56] <mareksp> that's impossible for me - no space for backup, but thanks 4 everything anyways :)
[17:56] <trufoi> thanks
[17:56] <brontoeee> LetsGo67, no, check the project file, kdenlive is making melt xml for example
[17:56] <Roasted> wedwo-, hmm, thats strange
[17:56] <Roasted> wedwo-, these optiplex 740s have given me so much trouble over the years
[17:56] <docfxit> ubottu, I tried finding trash in ~/.local/share and I couldn't find it.  I'm running 10.10
[17:56] <LetsGo67> brontoeee: Command not found.
[17:56] <Roasted> wedwo-, for example, I have to install BIOS 1.1.8 for PXE boot to work. 2.1.9 or any of the dozens of later versions fail tow ork.
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> Guest72307:   the link will have the same permissions as the original. your user can drag/drop a directory to their desktop to make a link there. click, drag, hold down alt key. make link... (i think)
[17:56] <LetsGo67> Brontoeee: It is the PiTiVi format.
[17:57] <sipior> mareksp: if you're worried about data loss from resizing, why wouldn't you have backups? you're worried, but not enough to protect yourself in any way?
[17:57] <docfxit> !trash
[17:57] <drc> docfxit: you just want to empty the Trash Can?  Did you try right clicking on it?
[17:57] <sacarlson> c0nsense: for netwoking there is something similar called htop
[17:57] <Guest72307> Dr_Willis:  sure, the link is the easiest part. But i cannot create folder inside the one related. So... the folder has no permissions?
[17:57] <c0nsense> lol
[17:57] <usr13> What is the name of the application to change desktop theme (in Ubuntu 10.04)?
[17:57] <docfxit> drc, As soon as I find it I'd be happy to right click on it.
[17:57] <Dr_Willis> Guest72307:  the LINK is just a link to the original.. it still has teh originals permissions set.
[17:58] <Dr_Willis> Guest72307:  so you need to make the directory owned by your user, or use groups. or other wise set the permissions to all ow the user to access the dir.
[17:58] <Dr_Willis> !permissions | Guest72307
[17:58] <mareksp> sipior: it's sentimental not work-like-important and i'm short of space :P
[17:58] <diphthong> so about 5 times out of 10, i have to reboot to get my wireless interface to work after Suspend my laptop.  how can i get around that?  is there some module i can unload?
[17:59] <trufoi> !whoami
[17:59] <drc> docfxit: right mouse click on any panel, Add to Panel, scroll down to Trash, click on Trash, click on Add button
[17:59] <trufoi> @whoami
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> diphthong:  sounds like it would be easiert o just not use suspend at all.
[17:59] <MagicJ> how do I set my desktop so that right click will not work
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> diphthong:  some drivers/devices just dont like being suspended under linux
[17:59] <LetsGo67> diphth_ng Because that is Ubuntu.
[17:59] <drc> docfxit: that will add a trash can to the panel...I'm assuming you "trashed" the Trash Can sometime earlier?
[18:00] <drc> docfxit: usually it's on the bottom panel on the extereme right
[18:00] <Guest72307> Dr_Willis: thanks so much. Giving permissions makes this work.
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> MagicJ:  i recall that 'ubuntu-tweak' (not in the repos) had some gnome-lockdown features.  but its just setting the proper gconf variables.   I dont know what all it could do.
[18:01] <docfxit> drc, That's great.  I like to accessorize
[18:01] <MagicJ> Dr_Willis: I can edit the gconf variable I suppose, if I know what it is
[18:02] <docfxit> drc, Thanks.
[18:02] <LetsGo67> IF YOU LOVE 240P SAY 12321 ELSE SAY 32123!
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> MagicJ:  yes you could..
[18:02] <IdleOne> MagicJ: might want to try pessulus, it is a gnome lock down application.
[18:02] <drc> docfxit: np
[18:02] <rufus-43> hallo
[18:02] <Jonii^> How do I change dns server in Ubuntu 10.4?
[18:02] <sipior> LetsGo67: find somewhere else to play.
[18:02] <IdleOne> MagicJ: it is in the repos
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> Jonii^:  network manager applet lets you do it. or you can edit /etc/resolv.conf I think. (but thats not the best way)
[18:03] <Qornholio> can i run gamash in lucid?
[18:03] <IdleOne> LetsGo67: stop that now and also drop the caps. This channel is for support only.
[18:03] <sacarlson> Jonii: there is a file /etc/resolv.conf that points to your dns
[18:03] <LetsGo67> Does someone have Ubuntu for Android?
[18:03] <Jonii^> Dr_Willis, network manager applet doesn't seem to have anything remotely related to DNA
[18:03] <Jonii^> dns*
[18:03] <docfxit> Now I need to remove temporary packages.  Any idea how?
[18:03] <MagicJ> Dr_Willis - I see in gconf-editpr that there is a lockdown for gnome - but the options do not include the ability to disable right click - or for that matter, what I really want to do, which is, prevent the launchers from being changed
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> Jonii^:  check the static ip settings..  i recall doing it befor.
[18:03] <Jonii^> But I don't know if poor translations are at fault
[18:04] <Prolac> could newest version of ubunut run on 256 mb of ram?
[18:04] <maco> Prolac: barely
[18:04] <Zorlin> Prolac: barely but absolutely
[18:04] <IdleOne> Prolac: it could but you won't be happy with it. try Lubuntu or Xubuntu
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> Jonii^:  I have 2 wired network connections ive made.. one uses googles dns. other is dhcp.
[18:04] <Zorlin> Prolac: consider... yeah, what IdleOne said
[18:04] <Zorlin> :)
[18:04] <TSHater> yes try resolv.conf magicj
[18:04] <LetsGo67> Prolac: Sudo apt-get remove openoffice-org gnome shotwell ekiga...
[18:05] <docfxit> It says I should run sudo apt-get clean to remove temporary packages.  When I run it nothing happens.
[18:05] <mehmann> okey,, can i install on LUKS with 10.04 or 10.10 from the alternate CD ?
[18:05] <sacarlson> Jonii: problem is if you run network manager and get an ip from dhcp then it will control what your dns server values are unless as dr_willis: points that network manager has a method of changeing it
[18:05] <TSHater> also i recommend opendns.
[18:05] <Prolac> what about debian, would it run?
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> sacarlson:  set a static ip. :_) actually i think teh static ip 'settings' have a way to set static just for the dns servers
[18:05] <brontoeee> LetsGo67, guessing, but what happens if you type: melt /path/toyour/pitivi.project ?
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> i wonder if i just disconnected playing with network manager. :)
[18:06] <Jonii^> Eeeh...
[18:06] <[Xiru]> My Empathy 2.32.1 stop worked with google talk. Does anybody know anything about it?

[18:06] <kdkdk1> i am looking for help in installing drivers on ubuntu

[18:07] <IdleOne> MagicJ: ubuntu-tweak is not a supported app. you will need to get it from the web
[18:07] <kdkdk1> TSHater:  it is a touch tablet
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> MagicJ:  i said it was not in the repos. :) it has its own ppa.

[18:30] <Guest83497> can someone please help me? :|
[18:30] <joeoshawa> when i set it as ntsc it still wants a 25 frame rate
[18:31] <uRock> how depressing...
[18:31] <sacarlson> Guest83497: you sure it crashes or just black screen?  did you try <ctl><alt> + f2?
[18:32] <stianhj> joeoshawa, http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/bombono/
[18:32] <juk> uRock: that's beaty of it enjoy
[18:32] <Guest83497> yes sacarlson .. im using the GUI installer .. i think it's called ubiquity .. i get to the time-zone selection screen which is step 2 and i click next and all I get is the circlular thinking icon and no progress whatsoever .. not even after waiting for hours!
[18:33] <uRock> juk, no doubt
[18:33] <stianhj> Guest83497, have you tried the alternate installer?
[18:34] <sacarlson> Guest83497: might be trying to get internet access at that point and fails.  try the alternate cd install
[18:34] <Guest83497> i have tried the alternate cd install
[18:34] <revad1> hi Can some one please take a look at some driver files and tell me from the file name if they will work on ubuntu and if so, the commands to install them?
[18:35] <Guest83497> i worked out today i have an i686 computer .. i don't know if that will affect the fact that i can only download i386 torrents from ubuntu.com but there arent any i686 torrents available?
[18:35] <sacarlson> Guest83497: and at what point does the alternate cd fail?
[18:35] <Guest83497> when it tried to get the time zones working .. it just stops. it thinks for a little and then just continues doing sod all
[18:35] <stianhj> Guest83497, have you tried to look at error messages if you switch to ALT+F2
[18:35] <stianhj> Guest83497, i386 version is the correct version for you
[18:36] <sacarlson> Guest83497: i686 are still 32bit so your system will still run on i386 or i686
[18:37] <Guest83497> ok ill have a look and let you know .. i thought i'd let you know though that im trying to REINSTALL ubuntu .. i had a successful dedicated partition and dual boot set up and then for some reason, when i booted once, i kept getting error messages with something like 'initram' and 'dev loop' errors
[18:37] <Guest83497> it couldnt mount it or something .. ive no idea what's going on and it's really frustrating D: because i do genuinely like ubuntu but it's really getting me nowhere now!
[18:38] <revad1> hello
[18:38] <revad1> need some help with drivers
[18:38] <crlcan81> I want to reinstall as well, not install over the top. I screwed up something in kernal and now when it boots gives me something like a can't find the disk error
[18:38] <Kosy__> Bon, j'ai fait le test, ça n'a pas marché, mais merci pour votre aide
[18:38] <sacarlson> Guest83497: did you use wubi on your original install, meaning did you install ubuntu from within windows ?
[18:39] <dtcrshr> !fr | Kosy__
[18:39] <Guest83497> i used wubi once i realised that the live-cd installer wasnt working and i seemed to get the same error
[18:40] <crlcan81> I installed via live cd, it wasn't till I tried to move my disk for the second time during a live CD run, thinking it was the fact I cancled during the first time, since i could have done a faster job.
[18:40] <sacarlson> Guest83497: so I'm still unsure from that if your failure was from a wubi install or not
[18:41] <stianhj> Guest83497, do both 10.04 and 10.10 fail in the same places?
[18:41] <stianhj> oh
[18:41] <IceGuest_75_> I can't connect to my wireless internet via xubuntu on virtualbox.
[18:42] <inco> hi all
[18:42] <inco> i need help with a new hardisk that i put in the pc
[18:42] <joeoshawa> sacarlson, his error couldn't have been from wubi if he was getting the error booting off the live cd
[18:42] <inco> i cannot put correctly fstab line
[18:42] <crlcan81> *runs a gparted repair disk first*
[18:42] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: good point
[18:43] <aeon-ltd> inco: is it partitioned?
[18:43] <inco> yes
[18:43] <joeoshawa> i would never use wubi tho
[18:43] <inco> i have a ext4 partition
[18:43] <aeon-ltd> inco: run 'blkid' get the uuid, the use that in fstab
[18:43] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: but I think he had a wubi install that failed and is attempting to fix it with a livecd
[18:43] <inco> yes
[18:43] <WeThePeople> anybody know why the open windows are being selected and deselected and a high rate of speed all on its own, in any window i open
[18:43] <inco> but when i mount with
[18:43] <inco> gnome i cant write
[18:43] <inco> only read
[18:44] <joeoshawa> sacarlson, he said it was the other way around besides the live cd would not even see the wubi install
[18:44] <aeon-ltd> heh, no idea - i've never tampered with whole partition permissions
[18:44] <inco> ok thanks
[18:44] <joeoshawa> other then for the boot loader all linux distros ignore windows partitions on install
[18:44] <WeThePeople> what does -u mean
[18:45] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: yes I think thats a total different problem, but he just said it crashes at time zone check,  I don't recall seeing anyone with this type of problem
[18:45] <amh345_> i've got the wrong keyboard configured for ubuntu server. ive got an international keyboard.  is there a way i can rerun the keyboard configuration i saw at startup?
[18:45] <stianhj> IceGuest_75, the xubuntu in virtualbox uses it's hosts internet connection via LAN connection
[18:45] <joeoshawa> me either
[18:45] <inco> anybody with fstab experence
[18:45] <Tigerboy> Cannot seem to install ubuntu 10.10 on systems that I can install 10.04... they have relatively new video -- amd athlon 3200+ 32 bit cpus... any ideas ?
[18:46] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: they left anyway
[18:46] <emanuele> !list
[18:46] <joeoshawa> ubuntu 10.04 had a major issue with my hdd but ubuntu 9.10 and 10.10 saw it fine
[18:46] <joeoshawa> so i can't use 10.04
[18:46] <joeoshawa> yeah hopefully they figure it out
[18:46] <juk> that's funny that people still do that
[18:46] <dustin> Tigerboy, fresh install ,  cuz there is a bug when you upgrade
[18:47] <Tigerboy> Yes but it fails also
[18:47] <amh345_> anyone?  my / key has an "e" with an accent over it.  cant get to '/'
[18:48] <juk> amh345_: stick your head in a toilet :p
[18:48] <crlcan81> How does one go about reinstalling ubuntu, without losing any files on said disk? Or is the only way to reinstall to reformat the entire Ubuntu partition and start over?
[18:48] <doodie> I've already got UBUNTU10 and now want to install Ubuntustudio also. I want both. that's possible?
[18:48] <joeoshawa> you will have the reverse problem with the dell dimension 2400's
[18:48] <Tigerboy> I was hoping there might be an alternate installer for 10.10.  I have tried every major 10.10 clone too all fail to install
[18:48] <Chads> Hi all trying to install wireless usb drivers.
[18:48] <amh345_> juk: didnt work ;)

[18:49] <Tigerboy> The installer fails reboot or just a black screen on some.
[18:49] <Tigerboy> that is after the install process begins
[18:49] <joeoshawa> btw if your in here and someone has a dell 2400 tell them to use ubuntu 10.10
[18:49]  * juk dont really apreciate that beaty either
[18:49] <Tigerboy> but then when you put debian or 10.04 it's all swimming
[18:49] <Wojownik> rver irc.swiftirc.net
[18:49] <sacarlson> crlcan81: only way I could imagin that posible would be if you had /home in it's own partition and made sure that install didn't format it
[18:50] <Chads> Usb wireless drivers anyone?
[18:50] <joeoshawa> Tigerboy,  ubuntu 10.04 is a lts you are probably better off using it
[18:50] <bonjoyee> !studio | doodie
[18:50] <Tigerboy> I see and just upgrade it really well
[18:51] <Tigerboy> maybe they will figure out the 10.10 installer issue in time for the next upgrade
[18:51] <drt48242> Hi, is there a way to change the contrast/brightness of my laptop through gnome or X

[19:07] <raven> 10.4 possible to disable the drive check? on every boot it hangs on because of any errors
[19:08] <aguitel> raven, i think grub-customizer does it
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> raven: sounds like you need to fix your file system
[19:09] <raven> ActionParsnip, i fixed it several times
[19:10] <zacktu> i'm set up for dual boot - i've temporarily removed my linux partitions (/, /home, swap) and left the /boot partition hoping that grub would be happy as long as it could find windows -- well, it's not -- i'd prefer to leave grub on rather than restoring the windows mbr -- can i edit grub so that it only boots windows?
[19:10] <joeoshawa> raven, sounds like your hard disk is crashing
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> raven: the system thinks it's bad. I suggest you grab the ultimate boot cd and test the drive using manufacturers tools. (do it overnight, it takes a while)
[19:11] <joeoshawa> zach32, why wouldn't you have left it the way it was and just make windows the primary os
[19:12] <joeoshawa> zach32, the top one
[19:12] <joeoshawa> zach32, it would still load grub but after the timer windows would automatically boot
[19:13] <xdude> thanks usr13...   I am about to try it on the other machine...  thanks for the info, its looks interesting...
[19:14] <sacarlson> raven: maybe it's time to use that disk for music or video files and boot from some other disk you have laying around

[19:25] <Tigerboy> Joeoshawa on these we have 2 cards each headset audio works fine on windoze 7 but zero sound on ubunto 10.10 even when I specify headset and specify the ac888 model number
[19:25] <Pici> LinuxNoob: Its in your $PATH, the IDLE IDE is not installed by default though, you can choose to install that or any other IDE (or none at all) if you like.
[19:26] <Pici> LinuxNoob: I personally do all my python programming in nano.
[19:26] <LinuxNoob> =/ no idea what yall are talkin about, but i have to go to school.thanks.
[19:26] <khamer> Pici, hahaha
[19:28] <brontoeee> Pici, why nano?
[19:28] <joeoshawa> Tigerboy, sound cards are ac888?
[19:28] <khamer> brontoeee, don't you dare
[19:28] <Tigerboy> yes inboard
[19:28] <Pici> brontoeee: Because its the editor that I can use the fastest.  I'd like to find the time to learn vim and emacs as well.
[19:29] <brontoeee> Pici, ok, why not gedit?
[19:29] <joeoshawa> Tigerboy, onboard means part of the motherboard a sound card is an add on card
[19:29] <khamer> brontoeee, real programmers use sed
[19:29] <Jordan_U> Pici: vimtutor is good for learning vim.
[19:29] <Tigerboy> ok
[19:29] <joeoshawa> and is the headset usb or audio jack
[19:29] <Tigerboy> Joeoshawa in this case it is all inboard
[19:29] <joljam> Could somebody help me with my issues in Adobe Connect Web Conferencing. I have an Ubuntu Linux machine and I am having problem sharing and uploading files from my machine using Adobe connect.
[19:29] <Pici> brontoeee: 1) I prefer the terminal, 2) I don't always have a desktop environment installed.  3) ask me more in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like.
[19:30] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa the headset is audio jack based
[19:30] <brontoeee> Pici, ok, thanks
[19:30] <addiks> hi, is there a way to update the nvidia-driver over the package-management to a newer version than the one in 10.10?
[19:30] <khamer> Jordan_U, iorlyV~A?
[19:30] <joeoshawa> then you cannot have two sound cards
[19:30] <joeoshawa> you mean ports?
[19:30] <khamer> Jordan_U, er, iorly<Esc>V~A?
[19:30] <Somon> music player fast forward doesn't work why?
[19:31] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa it has headset and mic ports in front which work fine in win 7
[19:31] <Guest18283> how can i connect ubuntu with micro controller
[19:31] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa those are in addition to the analog ports in the back which are used for the speakers
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> addiks: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates   has 270 beta driver. The 260 driver nearly ALL new nvidia chips
[19:32] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa on win 7 they are sep so you can turn on the headset but the speakers off or both on
[19:32] <joeoshawa> ok so you have sound just no headset
[19:32] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa and you can turn on hdmi and digital also
[19:32] <mikebot> If my system is set up to dual boot to windows and unr, if I format my entire hdd, if I try to install something on the blank hdd, will the grub thing be messed up?
[19:32] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa onlything not working is the analog headset port in front
[19:33] <joeoshawa> ahh
[19:33] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa we are trying to get off of win 7 dual booting
[19:33] <joeoshawa> k one sec your lucky actually none of my headset ports work in ubuntu lol
[19:33] <ThinkT510> mikebot: everything will be gone if you format your entire drive
[19:34] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa well that's a major flaw hope I can figure this out
[19:35] <fnkyspccdt> Hey guys, anyone know of common issues with Wubi on ubuntu 10.04.2 ?
[19:35] <joeoshawa> yeah i am sure we can i just never bothered cause i have a headset jack on my speakers and i have a kinda complicated setup
[19:35] <fnkyspccdt> it installs from windows, reboots, and then i just get a blank screen, keyboard doesn't even respond to numblock
[19:35] <fnkyspccdt> and then monitor loses sync
[19:35] <fnkyspccdt> and i have to reset the pc
[19:35] <joeoshawa> my desktop is also my htpc
[19:35] <mikebot> ThinkT510: OK, even the boot loader preferences or whatever? Because I remember that (year ago) if you had UBuntu installed and tried to install WIndows, the boot thing would be messed up... (or something like that...)
[19:35] <joeoshawa> two sound cards
[19:35] <joeoshawa> one for media one for computer
[19:36] <vane> Hola
[19:36] <connyosis> so...I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (Since 10.10 and earlier wont work properly on this laptop) and after upgrading packages I get this weird problem where at boot the computer freezes and the screen slowly turns white and then slowly turns black.
[19:36] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa that is nice. yes there are some nice add on sound cards out now.
[19:36] <ThinkT510> mikebot: installing windows after linux does overwrite the grub bootloader, but grub can be reinstalled
[19:36] <Jordan_U> fnkyspccdt: I would recommend against using wubi.
[19:37] <connyosis> has my problem happened to anyone else? It's quite strange
[19:37] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa sound system in board is: Realtek ALC888
[19:37] <fnkyspccdt> Jordan_U, yeah i know, don't have the time/energy atm to partition with gparted atm
[19:37] <mikebot> ThinkT510: OK, maybe you can help me with this... is it possible to clear my hdd, install ubuntu, and then install Win 7 after ubuntu to dual boot? Or is it always easier to install windows first?
[19:37] <joeoshawa> did you check your preferences and make sure the headset is not muted
[19:37] <joeoshawa> and alsa as well
[19:37] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa yes I did and I made sure it was selected also
[19:38] <ThinkT510> mikebot: it is always best to install windows first, this is because windows assumes its the only thing being installed and always overwrites the boot loader
[19:38] <jordan_> sup all
[19:38] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa they system does "know" that I have two sets of analog ports and does properly label the front ports as headset ports
[19:38] <jordan_> need help trying to install UrbanTerror on ubuntu
[19:39] <mikebot> ThinkT510: do you know if usb bootable windows things come with a formatting tool? (I'm trying to format my whole system and then install the dual boot)
[19:39] <joeoshawa> when you plug the headset in the front do the speakers mute?
[19:39] <m4xx> i want to have different dhcp clients pxe boot different images. my current set up is as follows: http://paste2.org/p/1264227
[19:39] <joeoshawa> i think your problem is in alsa
[19:39] <m4xx> is there a way to give that group a name
[19:39] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa no they are on a separate line
[19:39] <Tigerboy> ok
[19:39] <m4xx> and change the conditional to use that group name
[19:39] <jordan_> Has anyone successfully installed the UrbanTerror game on ubuntu?
[19:40] <ThinkT510> mikebot: i tend to use a livecd and gparted to do my partitioning (including wiping the entire drive), i tend to use partedmagic livcd
[19:40] <mikebot> ThinkT510: But how do you install windows first?
[19:40] <joeoshawa> alsa has a seperate control for each jack and your front ports volume would be completely off by default
[19:40] <erUSUL> jordan_: yes; long ago. maybe still works ;P
[19:40] <mikebot> ThinkT510: Or, you don't install windows at all?
[19:40] <ThinkT510> mikebot: you need a windows install disk
[19:40] <jordan_> mikebot, cant u insert the windows disk first and boot of the cd drive
[19:41] <mikebot> jordan_: no CDROM drive
[19:41] <jordan_> ah
[19:41] <mikebot> jordan_: But also I need to format my computer somehow.
[19:41] <mikebot> ThinkT510: Does that have a program that can format my hdd?
[19:41] <jordan_> mikebot, do u have a seperate machine
[19:41] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa what is the best way to control alsa
[19:41] <jordan_> mikebot, if so place into an external case and format
[19:41] <bl4ckcomb> alsamixer
[19:41] <bl4ckcomb> Tigerboy ^
[19:41] <ThinkT510> !gparted | mikebot
[19:41] <noisewaterphd> alsamixer
[19:42] <mikebot> jordan_: Doesn't that void my warranty? Also, I don't have the tools to do that
[19:42] <joeoshawa> thank you noisewaterphd
[19:42] <mikebot> jordan_: Is it not possible to, like, insert a windows usb, format the whole hdd, then install windows to a blank disc?
[19:42] <joeoshawa> Tigerboy, in command line type alsamixer
[19:42] <mikebot> ThinkT510: But I need to format the whole thing, including the ubuntu partition
[19:42] <jordan_> mikebot, which warranty are you referring to? in any case I wouldnt imagine why you void any warranties
[19:42] <Tigerboy> Joeoshawa not muted but vol was down as it is on all the channels
[19:43] <joeoshawa> thats your problem
[19:43] <loki28> anybody know much about uucp?
[19:43] <mikebot> jordan_: Lenovo... I thought it was voided if the hdd is removed
[19:43] <joeoshawa> turn it up
[19:43] <joeoshawa> all the way
[19:43] <ThinkT510> mikebot: you can boot partedmagic from the usb to format your harddisk
[19:43] <jordan_> mikebot, is it a custom build pc or prebuilt (dell, hp, etc) type pc
[19:43] <jordan_> ah, no
[19:43] <Tigerboy> the one that says headphone is 00 with no up ability then it has several fronts
[19:43] <jordan_> mikebot, there should be screws on the underside of the laptop that will release the hdd
[19:44] <joeoshawa> pulseaudio works off alsa so no volume in alsa no volume in pulse
[19:44] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa it does state the chip realtek alc888 correctly
[19:44] <mikebot> jordan_: I know that I /can/ remove it, but in any event, I don't have tools to format it once it is out
[19:44] <joeoshawa> turn the volume up and you should be all set then
[19:44] <mikebot> ThinkT510: So I can use the ubuntu usb to format my whole drive, then I can remove the usb, install windows, then install ubuntu?
[19:44] <jordan_> mikebot, your not tearing  a part the hdd, your just removing it, so no warranty should be voided, unless for some reason they stuck a "void if removed" sticker across it
[19:44] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa ok good to know but on the "headphone" it will not go up
[19:44] <jordan_> mikebot , ah gotcha
[19:44] <joeoshawa> you can play with the settings to get it just right
[19:45] <ThinkT510> mikebot: yes, but you need a way to install windows from usb
[19:45] <jordan_> mikebot so ur trying to do it without opening the hdd bay
[19:45] <joeoshawa> your pressing the up arrow on the keyboard
[19:45] <joeoshawa> ?
[19:45] <ThinkT510> mikebot: do you have a usb external cd drive?
[19:45] <mikebot> ThinkT510: OK, I think that I can make a usb
[19:45] <mikebot> ThinkT510: My school does
[19:45] <joeoshawa> i know dumb question but i gotta ask
[19:45] <jordan_> yeah was about to ask if u had a usb optical drive
[19:46] <Tigerboy> yes just stuck at 00
[19:46] <ThinkT510> mikebot: i'd make sure you can boot from the usb cd drive before you format anything
[19:46] <Moshah> Hi, Dos anyone know where I have to go for Lubuntu specific help please?
[19:46] <jordan_> mikebot, it was a headache to make a bootable usb drive for winxp
[19:46] <Jordan_U> Moshah: #lubuntu
[19:46] <jordan_> maybe i just sucked at it
[19:46] <joeoshawa> hrmm anyone with experience with alsa can help here
[19:46] <joeoshawa> ?
[19:47] <joeoshawa> try space bar first
[19:47] <jordan_> mikebot, does the machine actually run?
[19:47] <mikebot> ThinkT510: jordan_: OK, so how about this: if I have ubuntu on a usb and win7 on a cd (with a usb cdrom drive), I can format the hdd fully with ubuntu, install windows from cd, then install ubuntu on top?
[19:47] <jordan_> mikebot, or is it dead for now
[19:47] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa all respond to uparrow except headphone, s/pdifs(no spdifs plugged in)
[19:47] <mikebot> jordan_: I'm on it now.. dual booted it, but the ubuntu install ruined the windows one
[19:47] <mikebot> jordan_: the windows has to be reinstalled
[19:47] <oxi> hi
[19:48] <mikebot> jordan_: when I boot into windows there is some error with memory or something
[19:48] <Logan_> !lubuntu | Moshah
[19:48] <jordan_> mikebot i would install windows first via its gui, then add the ubuntu
[19:48] <joeoshawa> is your headset plugged in
[19:48] <ThinkT510> mikebot: thats the way i'd do it, but before you format make sure you can boot from the usb cd drive
[19:48] <oxi> sudo ./ddrescue -v /dev/disk1 /dev/stdout | 7za a -t7z -mx9 /lacie.img.7z -si
[19:48] <oxi> ddrescue: output file is not seekable
[19:48] <mikebot> ThinkT510: OK, I'll do that, thank you.
[19:48] <oxi> can anyone help?
[19:48] <ThinkT510> mikebot: np
[19:48] <oxi> I was excited to try ddrescue as many claim it's "better" than dd and now I find that it's junk
[19:48] <mikebot> ThinkT510: (It's a netbook, so I imagine the os they sent with it can be installed like that)
[19:48] <jordan_> mikebot , yeah exactly, def make sure u can boot off a usb drive (wether its optical or hdd or thumbdrive)
[19:49] <mikebot> jordan_: OK, thanks
[19:49] <oxi> I don't have the space to create an uncompressed snashot
[19:49] <jordan_> goodluck
[19:49] <mikebot> Thanks
[19:49] <erUSUL> oxi: checked man page for alternatives to writte in stdout?
[19:49] <jordan_> np
[19:49] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa
[19:49] <mikebot> ThinkT510: jordan_ : I must be off, thanks a lot for the help. Have a good day!
[19:49] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa yes
[19:49] <joeoshawa> damn
[19:49] <jordan_> mikebot you to bro, you are welcome
[19:50] <oxi> erUSUL: yep - haven't found anyhting yet :-(
[19:50] <joeoshawa> i am not great at pulse
[19:50] <joeoshawa> or alsa
[19:50] <jordan_> now back to my original question,lol, can anyone help me install the UrbanTerror game for Ubuntu
[19:50] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa at least i'm making progress I think I might need a reboot but I will look up on the net
[19:50] <Lungan> Have just installed Ubuntu Netbook remix, how do i share folders? If i go in nautilus and rightklick on the folder theres no alternate that says "share" ?
[19:51] <Lungan> "Sharing options"
[19:51] <joeoshawa> cool keep trying it seems to be set up you just need to figure out the alsa
[19:51] <sandertje> I just had skype taking up 100% CPU power on both my cores (1.8Ghz each). IS that normal?
[19:51] <Tigerboy> joeoshawa exactly thanks for your help
[19:51] <sandertje> while it was running stationary
[19:52] <joeoshawa> no problem wish i could help more
[19:53] <grapz> After doing a fresh install of 10.10, the theme doesn't get applied to my Gnome panel bars (top and bottom panel). I've had this before, but I can't remeber what I did to fix it.
[19:53] <jordan_> can anyone assist me in installing UrbanTerror, im fairly new to linux( last week) and am not sure how to fully
[19:53] <sacarlson> Lungan: I guess you need to install  apt-get install nautilus-share samba samba-common
[19:53] <ibadan{y}> there is no root so adding sudo to root is bad ?
[19:54] <erUSUL> jordan_: last time i did it you only have to extrac it somewhere ( your home is ok ) then give executable permissions to the apropiate binary ( 32 or 64 bits  and run it ( making a launcher or from cli )
[19:54] <ThinkT510> !sudo | ibadan{y}
[19:55] <ibadan{y}> ty
[19:55] <ThinkT510> np
[19:55] <ibadan{y}> tyvm
[19:55] <jordan_> erUSUL, cool, what does that mean,lol
[19:56] <mastro> hi, i need a suggestion... my mother has a very old laptop (still a pentium 4) running ubuntu feisty.. pettry slow :) i'm not updating it since at least 2 years.. probably more.... now I'd like to give here wireless.. i have an edimax wireless stick (probably i'll have to compile driver), which tool can i install to make it easy for her to switch between wireless and ethernet? She's not a tecniciant :)
[19:56] <aliverius> is sysv-rc-conf ok now with upstart?
[19:56] <erUSUL> jordan_: you download it as zip archive ( otr tar.gz they are equivalent ) you extract somwhere you like and double click on the executable after giving executable permission to it.
[19:56] <jordan_> erUSUL, i dont get the second part , about giving executable permissions
[19:56] <erUSUL> jordan_: right click on the file choose properties- Permissions
[19:56] <joeoshawa> wow yeah with my dual sound card setup it would be way to complicated to get the headset jack working
[19:57] <mastro> oh.. better if i don't have to install anything requiring dependences... i don't want to update it
[19:57] <jordan_> erUSUL, i have it extracted but see no exe
[19:57] <Rob235> hey
[19:57] <Rob235> whats a good program to convert wav to mp3
[19:57] <erUSUL> jordan_: but i think that playdeb packages UT for even more easy install
[19:57] <joeoshawa> i already have three programs handling audio
[19:57] <joeoshawa> sorry 4
[19:58] <erUSUL> jordan_: ioUrbanTerror.x86_64 for 64 bits or ioUrbanTerror.i386 for 32 bits
[19:58] <Jordan_U> Rob235: "lame".
[19:58] <loki28> can anybody help with uucp
[19:58] <jordan_> ER, what do i do with ioUrbanTerror.x86_64
[19:59] <Guest45422> Question about dual-booting. I don't want to modify my BIOS. If I install linux onto its own harddrive, and keep windows on a separate harddrive. I can just use my BIOS settings to choose which harddrive to boot from right? I don't want to use the GRUB thingy
[19:59] <jordan_> enter it in the terminal?
[19:59] <erUSUL> loki28: unix to unix copy ??? in 2011 ?
[19:59] <Rob235> oh i didnt know you could do that, thanks
[19:59] <loki28> backwards compatibility thing
[20:00] <elenap> Hello everyone, I am using openoffice 3.2 running on ubuntu 9.04 and I am facing the following problem. I pasted calc objects in a writer file, saved and closed the file successfully. However, when I opened the file again, the objects would not show. Instead of each object, there is an icon showing a plug and a code name "Object 32". Is there any solution to this problem?
[20:00] <ThinkT510> Guest45422: yes, you can prioritize which harddrive gets booted first in most bios' today
[20:00] <jordan_> erUSUL, what do i do with the ioUrbanTerror.x86_64
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> !9.04
[20:00] <erUSUL> jordan_: right click on it
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> !eol | elenap
[20:01] <joeoshawa> jordan_, make it executable in preferences
[20:01] <jordan_> oh i thought it was a cmd
[20:01] <Godslastering> what port does IPSec use? (what ports do i need to forward)? i'm trying to set up l2tp/ipsec
[20:01] <jordan_> where is it at?
[20:01] <joeoshawa> jordan_,  then double click it
[20:01] <iiname> hello
[20:01] <elenap> ubottu: I am stuck with this version due to hardware issues...
[20:01] <erUSUL> jordan_: go to Properties||Permissions tab. click on the checkbox to make it executable
[20:01] <joeoshawa> jordan_, in urbanterror directory
[20:01] <iiname> i need help in making a touch screen and wimax work
[20:02] <joeoshawa> sorry for stepping on toes
[20:02] <joeoshawa> oops
[20:02] <jordan_> erUSUL, k from scratch all ive done was dl'ed and extracted the two zipped files into a single main folder
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> you an install urbanterror from playdeb repo
[20:03] <jordan_> playdeb-repo, would that be simpler
[20:03] <erUSUL> jordan_: maybe you prefer this http://www.playdeb.net/software/Urban%20Terror
[20:03] <__osh____> I tried starting ubuntu 10.10 with the -xforcevesa option but it still loaded radeon and failed to start X. How do I prevent the live-cd from loading radeon-driver?
[20:03] <joeoshawa> ActionParsnip, good idea
[20:03] <tuzlo> I know this is probably off topic. I deleted a windows partition on an external drive are there tools in Ubuntu to recover it?
[20:03] <ThinkT510> elenap: what kind of hardware issues?
[20:03] <iiname> can someone help me by identifying if certain files are linux driver files
[20:03] <sudipta> hi
[20:04] <__osh____> iiname: try the command 'file'
[20:04] <Jordan_U> tuzlo: Yes, depending on how you deleted it testdisk might be able to recover it.
[20:04] <__osh____> iiname: it should tell you what file it is.
[20:04] <jordan_> erUSUL, was running then at the end said it couldnt find the files
[20:04] <erUSUL> !undelete | tuzlo
[20:04] <iiname> __osh____,  there are driver files sent by the hw manufacturer
[20:05] <elenap> ThinkT510: my graphics card won't work with ubuntu 9.10, 10.4 or 10.10
[20:05] <tuzlo> Jordan_U, I deleted it with a windows boot disxk by accident, didnt format or do anything else besides unplug
[20:05] <joeoshawa> urban terror can be installed from the software center i believe
[20:05] <__osh____> elenap: same problem here.
[20:05] <ThinkT510> elenap: what graphics card do you have?
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> !find urban
[20:05] <Jordan_U> tuzlo: "unplug"?
[20:05] <elenap> ThinkT510: an old ATI radeon
[20:05] <__osh____> iiname: what's the question again?
[20:05] <tuzlo> it was a USB drive
[20:05] <jordan_> i tried the software center, it doesnt appear
use the drivers
[20:05] <tuzlo> Jordan_U,  it was a USB drive
[20:06] <iiname> __osh____, ftp://sysfae.fic.com.tw/  drivers for wimax, touch and audio ?  for a tablet pc
[20:06] <silverlightning> hi
[20:06] <elenap> sudipta: I have tried the drivers but had no luck
[20:06] <Jordan_U> tuzlo: Ok, please explain in more detail what exactly happened.
[20:06] <silverlightning> hi ActionParsnip, how are you tonight
[20:07] <ThinkT510> !ati
[20:07] <__osh____> sudipta: is there a way to force VESA during live-cd boot? I tried -xforcevesa but that didn't work.
[20:07] <tuzlo> Jordan_U,  I was installing Windows on another computer and accidently deleted all partitions, one happened to be the external HD I had plugged in at the time
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: not bad man, illin
I myself have nvidia and it works perfect
[20:07] <silverlightning> good to hear
i dont know tha...sorry :)
[20:07] <__osh____> iiname: what do you want to do with them?
[20:07] <tuzlo> Jordan_U, so far I have done nothing else to it other than unplug the USB cable
[20:07] <jordan_> erUSUL, , i get a msg saying "could not find package 'urbanterror'"
[20:07] <silverlightning> has anybody had problem with booting up to a white screen?
[20:08] <iiname> __osh____,  have 10.04 installaed in that tablet, wifi does not work, touch does not work
[20:08] <Jordan_U> tuzlo: Testdisk can almost certainly recover it if only the partition table was modified.
[20:08] <jordan_> erUSUL,  when i use that link and click install
[20:08] <erUSUL> jordan_: :/ and making the file executable has not worked either?
[20:08] <joeoshawa> !find terror
[20:08] <__osh____> sudipta: no worries.
[20:08] <tuzlo> Jordan_U, alright thanks for the info
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: you ok?
[20:08] <iiname> __osh____,  so need to install that drivers and test the tablet for wifi, then install touch files
[20:08] <rummage8> can we ask questions in here or is it better to do in a forum... (sorry n00b)
[20:08] <Jordan_U> tuzlo: You're welcome.
[20:08] <jordan_> erUSUL,  from scratch how do i do that again
[20:08] <__osh____> iiname: try modprobe or insmod on the files you have. If they are .so files.
[20:08] <palhmbs> hi - I'm wondering why there is no downgrade for sun-java6-jdk? -- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+publishinghistory
[20:08] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, well so so really, but under the circumstances all right
[20:08] <silverlightning> ;- )
[20:09] <erUSUL> jordan_: go to Properties||Permissions tab. click on the checkbox to make it executable
[20:09] <palhmbs> looks to me like it got deleted... is that normal?
[20:09] <erUSUL> jordan_: ioUrbanTerror.x86_64 for 64 bits or ioUrbanTerror.i386 for 32 bits
[20:09] <jordan_> erUSUL,  proporties where
[20:09] <iiname> __osh____,  have the files on a usb now, will try the commands now
[20:09] <erUSUL> jordan_: right click on the file
[20:09] <jordan_> the zipped file
[20:09] <xlemming> hi, does anyone have any experience with nslcd/nss-ldap and having it authenticate using the machine account keytab in activedirectory?
[20:10] <Lungan> Why doesn't I have any "sharing options" if i rightklick on folders in Ubuntu Netbook remix?
[20:10] <silverlightning> I am the only one who boots up to a white sceen?
[20:10] <silverlightning> screen*
[20:10] <george__> hey everyone
[20:10] <palhmbs> if I have upgraded to 6.24-1build0.10.10.1  and JAVA compilation is not quite working for my projects -- then logically I need to downgrade
[20:10] <jordan_> erUSUL,  right click to go to the proprties of the ZIPPED file?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: try the nomodeset boot option?
[20:11] <palhmbs> I guess I'll have to downgrade using a local package / download an older JDK from sun manually?
[20:11] <__osh____> silverlightning: I get dropped into a shell. Not much better. I want to boot to VESA and work from there on my livecd, but -xforcevesa doesnt seem to work. I'm hoping someone here knows how to get X working.
[20:11] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, that would work with lubuntu too?
[20:11] <erUSUL> jordan_: no in the extracted files you will see "ioUrbanTerror.x86_64" for 64 bits or "ioUrbanTerror.i386" for 32 bits
[20:11] <george__> does anyone know a good sight where I can find a good woman?
[20:11] <maco> george__: off topic here
[20:12] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, never heard of that
[20:12] <tuzlo> Jordan_U, that testdisk seems to be locked when installing
[20:12] <jordan_> erUSUL,  in the zip theres two pk3 files/folders
[20:12] <erUSUL> jordan_: what files did you dwonloaded?
[20:12] <LjL> maco: so "woman" too?
[20:12] <jordan_> erUSUL,  i unzipped these to a urbanterror regular folder
[20:12] <jordan_> UrbanTerror411_update.zip
[20:12] <iiname> __osh____,  have problem with modprobe command
[20:12] <silverlightning> osh, I know some who dual boot with other linux distros find that grub4dos is better?
[20:12] <__osh____> george__: +1 for the humour of asking a irc-channel of geeks for how to meet woman. Good form.
[20:12] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset >> ThinkT510
[20:12] <maco> LjL: hilight? no, that was just Quassel's chat view
[20:12] <jordan_> UrbanTerror411_update.zip,guess i didnt get the right one
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: possibly
[20:12] <LjL> ah :)
[20:13] <__osh____> iiname: what problem?
[20:13] <erUSUL> jordan_: is a single zip file http://www.urbanterror.info/docs/texts/110/#1.2
[20:13] <joeoshawa> jordan_, http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/11/install-popular-linux-games-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat/
[20:13] <palhmbs> maco, is downgrading broken on sun-java6-jdk?
[20:13] <silverlightning> grub4dos, is in package manager?, but for booting?
[20:13] <joeoshawa> tells you how to add it to the software center
[20:13] <maco> palhmbs: uh, downgrading is in general not supported...
[20:14] <SUFLEX> How can i change(set) default gnome folders name for every new created user?
[20:14] <maco> palhmbs: but i mean, if its just one package, purging the current one then using dpkg -i --force-downgrade foo.deb     should work
[20:14] <palhmbs> maco, so I can't apt-get install sun-java6-jdk=6.22-0ubuntu1~10.10 ??
[20:14] <__osh____> silverlightning: not sure what you mean by that.
[20:14] <maco> palhmbs: i think you need to remove the currently installed one first
[20:14] <iiname> __osh____,  on the terminal i am in the directory, and tried the command with file name as insmod WDMInstaller.zip  error: insmod: error inserting 'WDMInstaller.zip': -1 Operation not permitted
[20:14] <iiname>  
[20:14] <jordan_> kinda wondering wth it was that i dl'ed, was it just an upgrade file
[20:14] <rethus> i have shortly gnome installed, now xfce. but if i start xfce, during startup the desktop wallpaper still show for 3 seconds the old gnome wallpaper... and siwtch then to the actual paper.
[20:15] <SUFLEX> i mean Desktop Downloads and etc
[20:15] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, however, is white screen a fault in grub or lubuntu startup?
[20:15] <rethus> how can i remove all old gnomestugg
[20:15] <rethus> ff
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> jordan_: cd; wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; rm ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install urbanterror
[20:15] <palhmbs> right great - so purge first then use force-downgrade, thanks!
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: it sounds like a driver thing, do you use nvidia gpu?
[20:15] <ChogyDan> !purexfce | rethus (maybe this)
[20:15] <erUSUL> jordan_: if you are doing a fresh install you do not need the update
[20:16] <rethus> ChogyDan: i still have done this, but there seems to be old configs
 me neither unfortunately, I was given the suggestion to try grub4dos, and I really cannot figure out the difference to lubuntus grub2
[20:16] <jordan_> erUSUL,  i am currently dl'ing the full zip file u sent
[20:16] <__osh____> iiname: you can't use insmod on zip-files. only on drivername.so files. Unzip the file. Look inside. Look for the driver and try to insmod that. And I'm not really sure that will work either.
[20:16] <__osh____> iiname: are you sure you got linux drivers?
[20:16] <iiname> __osh____,  will try
[20:17] <bullgard> '~$ sudo nmap -sP ...' returns the MAC adddress of a neighboring host computer followed by "(USI))". What does "(USI)" mean?
[20:17] <__osh____> Got to reboot so I can get back to the graphics and google for my error.
[20:18] <silverlightning> I have a package called libvdpau1 Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (libraries)? actionparsnip?
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: lspci | grep vga     will tell you what it is
[20:19] <jordan_> man, its a 1 gb file
[20:19] <jordan_> has anyone played the urbanterror game, is it worth playing?
[20:19] <iiname> hi i have .cat  .ins and .sys file as part of the files in a folder for drivers sent by a manufacturer, will these files help me install the drivers in ubuntu?
[20:19] <anthony_> experienced user.  trying out live cd 10.10 on old machine (192 Mb RAM, processor probably not much greater than pentium III).  it gets to the background image, displays parts of the top bar (logout button, volume icon) and also shows working mouse, but doesn't get any further.  intermittent HDD and optical activity.  md5 verified ISO image (burned and re-ripped). does this sound like a memory issue to anyone?
[20:20] <palhmbs> maco, so dpkg -r might work best in this case... hopefully
[20:20] <joeoshawa> ubuntu 10.10 is karmic correct?
[20:20] <ThinkT510> !10.10
[20:20] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, in terminal? I get nothing there?
[20:20] <joeoshawa> crap
[20:21] <jordan_> anyone have an opinion of the UrbanTerror game?
[20:21] <jordan_> wondering if its even worth the DL?
[20:21] <ThinkT510> anthony_: i think it is a memory problem, i think the minimum is 256mb
[20:21] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, are you all happy with your ubuntu? I am still working to get in running smooth, with lubuntu
[20:22] <anthony_> ThinkT510, thanks.  is that minimum for install of live CD?
[20:22] <anthony_> ThinkT510, sorry, install *or* live CD
[20:23] <jordan_> erUSUL, have you played the UrbanTerror before?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: never had a hitch since Gutsy, Linux in general just works on all my hardware as I buy it so I KNOW it will work
[20:23] <maheanuu> What is the Ubuntu Noobies Channel?
[20:23] <erUSUL> jordan_: yes
[20:23] <craigbass1976> I need to copy a table out of a pdf and paste into a spreadsheet.  I've gotten the adobe reader and hightlighted with ctrl+alt pressed (so that blocks of text are selected) but it's still not pasting into a spreadsheet.  Actually, even just highlighting one row doesn't work; when I paste, it
[20:23] <jordan_> erUSUL, whatd you think
[20:23] <ThinkT510> anthony_: i think it's for both, let me check
[20:23] <craigbass1976> s a column
[20:23] <jordan_> pretty good game or kinda lame
[20:23] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, lucky you !!
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: no, smart me.
[20:23] <palhmbs> maco, is there not a apt-get / aptitude way to force downgrade?
[20:23] <maco> palhmbs: no
[20:24] <silverlightning> yes, very clever you :- )
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: I don'tbu whats new or what is cheap.I buy what works
[20:24] <erUSUL> jordan_: very fun. it is quak3 based so graphics by today standars are crappy but that does not make it less fun
[20:24] <drc> anthony_: Try this "The minimum system requirements for Lubuntu 10.10 are described by Mario Behling as "comparable to Pentium II or Celeron systems with a 128 Mb RAM configuration, which may yield a slow yet usable system with lubuntu"
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> *buy
[20:24] <bullgard> anthony_: To me this does not be caused by a faulty RAM.
[20:24] <ThinkT510> anthony_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes#System%20Requirements
[20:24] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, I shall have to do something similar I feel
[20:24] <jordan_> erUSUL, ah, gotcha
[20:24] <palhmbs> so --- just to clarify, I dpkg -r sun-java-jdk -- then dpkg -i --force-downgrade sun-java-jdk ??
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: as Linux is accepted, it will be easier to hit what works
[20:24] <bullgard> anthony_: To me this does not seem be caused by a faulty RAM.
[20:24] <maheanuu> I am looking for the newbie channel as the more I work the loster I get.....
[20:25] <jordan_> erUSUL, you know of any nice looking cpu monitors for a widget
[20:25] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, unfortunately I knew nothing when I bought this computer, and I was sort of given a bad deal by the seller
[20:25] <palhmbs> maco, so --- just to clarify, I dpkg -r sun-java-jdk -- then dpkg -i --force-downgrade sun-java-jdk ??
[20:25] <erUSUL> jordan_: nope sorry
[20:25] <maco> palhmbs: id add --purge to the dpkg -r
[20:25] <jordan_> erUSUL,  i just installed ubuntu yest and would like to be able to monitor the cpu and northbridge etc
[20:26] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, yes I think there are a few models here and there with Ubuntu/ linux preinstalled, they have to be working
[20:26] <jordan_> erUSUL,  ah ok
[20:26] <erUSUL> !sensors
[20:26] <palhmbs> maco, do I need the actual package deb name?
[20:26] <jordan_> checking those out now obottu
[20:26] <palhmbs> maco, let me rephrase that, do I need the actual .deb file... ?
[20:26] <maco> palhmbs: for dpkg -r, no. for dpkg -i, yes
[20:27] <Amithiel> guys, i know this is a highly debated conversation but.. ubuntu 32 vs 64 bits. how can i convince a friend that 64 is already stable and he will get much more advantages? any good reading? also, i got some doubts because i saw a benchmark on a site and in the results the 32 bits gets more perfomance. can't understand why...
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Amithiel: the 64bit apps are as supported and stable as 32bit
[20:27] <bullgard> Amithiel: You cannot.
[20:28] <Amithiel> right, but is it possible that 32 bits gets more performance than 64?
[20:28] <bullgard> Amithiel: Yes.
[20:28] <Amithiel> sorry for my poor english
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Amithiel: for desktop normal use, the advantages are isignificant, for 3d rendering and other data intensive activities will benefit
[20:28] <BluesKaj> Amithiel, if yoyr friend has over 4G ram then he might some benefit from 64 bit totherwise it's negliglable
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Amithiel: *insignificant
[20:28] <sogeking99> hey guys on ubuntu 10.10 when i go into hibernate or close my laptop i get just a blank screen and must restart
[20:29] <Amithiel> hum. i am 4 gb of ram. am i gaining some advantage?
[20:29] <BluesKaj> er negligible
[20:29] <anthony_> drc, bullgard, ThinkT510 thanks very much for your help.  will look at xubuntu instead.  I want to grab files off it initially then look at doing a minimal install when backed up.  in your experience how does hardware support differ between ubuntu and xubuntu?  is there much of a difference?
[20:29] <BluesKaj> Amithiel, perhaps
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> Amithiel: you can use pae with 32bit and get access to up to 64Gb but each process can only access 3.2Gb RAM
[20:29] <jordan_> Ubottu, i went to the site how do i install the lm_sensor
[20:30] <palhmbs> maco, right - so I can use apt-get to download just the package - but not install it with apt, then run dpkg -i --force-downgrade sun-java-jdk_blah_.deb?
[20:30] <bullgard> anthony_: Not much difference, but a small diffference.
[20:30] <Amithiel> oh...now i understand
[20:30] <ThinkT510> anthony_: exactly the same support, just different desktop environment, i prefer xfce myself
[20:30] <jordan_> really?
[20:30] <jordan_> hmm, i thought that was a reg person
[20:30] <jordan_> that sux
[20:30] <maco> palhmbs: yeah
[20:30] <palhmbs> maco,  sorry for picking on you - thanks, you've been a great help!
[20:30] <drc> anthony_: ifxubuntu is still not working well (although the specs say 192 meg RAM), I'd look at lubuntu
[20:31] <silverlightning> this is what I get running; sudo lspci, the whole sudo lspci | grep vga doesn't give anything http://pastebin.com/S2LKZE3p
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Amithiel: if you have more than 4Gb RAM then I'd always go 64Bit, at 4Gb you are in the middle so you need to analyse what your system is for and make the choice based on that
[20:31] <jordan_> currently i installed 4 gb ram and ran the 64bit
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Amithiel: the 64bit OS will mean you can upgrade RAM easier as the RAM is seen as one lump
[20:31] <Amithiel> i'm desktop normal user. not video editing or something. but i have 64bit version
[20:32] <jordan_> i figured i got 64 bit hardware, why not run it to its potential
[20:32] <raido> hx4
[20:32] <raido> oops, wrong keyboard
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Amithiel: then there is no noticable speed difference betwen the 32bit and 64bit OS for you but your RAM will be seen as 4Gb rather than 3.2Gb and then the extra bit used by PAE
[20:33] <gui_> hey
[20:33] <gui_> ça va ?
[20:33] <craigbass1976> I need to copy a table out of a pdf and paste into a spreadsheet.  I've gotten the adobe reader and hightlighted with ctrl+alt pressed (so that blocks of text are selected) but it's still not pasting into a spreadsheet.  Actually, even just highlighting one row doesn't work; when I paste, it's a column
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Amithiel: some 3rd party companys don't support 64bit, so you may need to run 32bit to accommodate
[20:33] <Mahjongg> Could anyone help me with setting up a bridge on my system for openvpn? I am having trouble deciding on the IP numbers to use.
[20:33] <anthony_> drc, ThinkT510, bullgard that's what I wanted to hear.  thanks for the help. need to stop the woman using my T60 and treating the USB ports like crap - girlfriends eh! if you do php I'm on #yii most days.  take it easy
[20:33] <Amithiel> thanks a lot for the info guys. i aprecciate :)
[20:34] <gui_> hey
[20:34] <CrystalLinux> Anyone know any good Linux distros that aren't ISOs?
[20:34] <ikonia> CrystalLinux: please don't ask in here
[20:34] <ikonia> !topic | CrystalLinux
[20:34] <gui_> can somebody help me ... i want install the driver of my ATI on my brand new ubuntu netbook 10.10
[20:35] <jordan_> gui, does it come up in the hardware or additional hardware link
[20:35] <unoob> I need help upgrading 10.04 to 10.10. Every time I try using the Update Manager I always get this error: http://pastebin.com/aPHBR1hT. I'm on a fresh install with no unusual packages installed, so what gives?
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> !ati
[20:35] <joeoshawa> i am trying to install bombono 1.0.1 from source in ubuntu 10.10  using scons but i am getting this error Can't find library libdvdread!
[20:35] <Mahjongg> !openvpn
[20:35] <drt3933> Hi, I just rm'd a file that i really want to get back, any suggestions/ideas
[20:35] <ikonia> drt3933: let it go
[20:36] <ChogyDan> unoob: how long has this been happening?
[20:36] <jordan_> GUI?
[20:36] <ThinkT510> CrystalLinux: you can install ubuntu from a usb drive if you don't want to use a cd iso
[20:36] <joeoshawa> i checked synaptic and libdvdread4 is installed
[20:36] <drt3933> it was just now, i think it should still be on the harddisk
[20:36] <drc> drt3933: It's dead, JIm
[20:36] <drt3933> no please dont say that
[20:36] <CrystalLinux> I haven't got a USB
[20:36] <Guest13940> ';
[20:36] <jordan_> guess gui didnt want help
[20:36] <ChogyDan> CrystalLinux: what do you have?
[20:36] <gui_> wait :p
[20:36] <gui_> sorry :D
[20:36] <drc> CrystalLinux: CD?
[20:36] <jordan_> ah
[20:36] <unoob> ChogyDan: I just freshly installed today, but it has been happening ever since I originally installed 10.04
[20:36] <jordan_> there yee is
[20:37] <drt3933> ok, ikonia drc , il try to let it go lol
[20:37] <gui_> i tried to install with an other tuto ... but on package couldn't be install ...
[20:37] <xlemming> CrystalLinux:  you can also boot to ubuntu using wubi to install it from inside windows:  http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
[20:37] <jordan_> gui, does it the driver appear when u go to system > admin > additional hw
[20:37] <ChogyDan> unoob: hmm, Im not sure which is the relevant log file.  Maybe you could run do-release-upgrade to get a better error msg?
[20:38] <joeoshawa> wubi causes major problems
[20:38] <gui_> hmm i would but it doesnt appear there ...
[20:38] <xlemming> CrytalLinux:  outside of wubi, a usb stick, an iso, or PXE booting the computer you're probably out of luck
[20:38] <unoob> ChogyDan: that gives me the exact same error, and it rolls back the upgrade either way
[20:38] <jordan_> gui, i got two htpc's which im using the integrated ati video card and the driver was there
[20:38] <ChogyDan> unoob: well, Im looking for a more detailed error
[20:38] <xlemming> joeoshawa:  what kind of wubi issues have you run in to?
[20:38] <joeoshawa> i don't use windows at all so none
[20:38] <jordan_> matter of fact im on one of them right now
[20:39] <joeoshawa> but lots of others come in here with major issues
[20:39] <xlemming> so not speaking from personal experience or observation then
[20:39] <joeoshawa> and it always ends with them installing it separate or just off the live cd
[20:39] <jordan_> gui, it was worth a shot, i am new myself, i just installed ubuntu about 3 days ago
[20:39] <gui_> :D
[20:39] <joeoshawa> observation
[20:40] <gui_> i install with a usb stick
[20:40] <joeoshawa> every time i come in here there is at least one person with wubi problems
[20:40] <jordan_> me too
[20:40] <joeoshawa> today was no exception
[20:40] <gui_> but i didnt see the left menu ...
[20:40] <jordan_> ohhhhhh
[20:40] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, could it be this one:  VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[20:41] <gui_> and some time the graphic bugs
[20:41] <glassresistor> is there a way to save or backup a printer in ubuntu?  we have a network printer at my office and it has some finicky settings, we have it working on one laptop, and i'd like to save those settings and load them onto other ubuntu laptops
[20:41] <jordan_> gui, are you running a liveCD or are you running it off the usb iso
[20:41] <guntbert> !enter | gui_
[20:41] <glassresistor> they are all the same ubuntu version and the same laptop model
[20:41] <gui_> i have a ati mobility VG V52000
[20:41] <gui_> something like that
[20:41] <xlemming> i think its just another option, and perhaps not an issue within wubi itself
[20:41] <gui_> usb
[20:41] <Senjai> !bot abuse | guntbert
[20:42] <gui_> but i install it
[20:42] <gui_> and try 3h ...
[20:42] <guntbert> Senjai: excuse me?
[20:42] <[poisonborz]> hola... I'm trying to log in remotely to my ubuntu box, but whenever I try to connect, a box comes up on the remote machine asking for password. I researched and found out it's a keyring issue, but no tutorial helped me... (like this: http://tinyurl.com/655sg26)
[20:42] <GeekyAdam> anyone here have experience using feh (image viewer)?
[20:42] <jordan_> gui, so when u first inserted the usb and booted off it, did u run the "try ubuntu" or install ubuntu option
[20:43] <silverlightning> thanks actionparsnip 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M],
[20:43] <Kgbwilf> If I have a command that requires sudo. How can I make it work without sudo?
[20:43] <gui_> i install it all was good and without troubles ....
[20:43] <joeoshawa> anyone with a cd burner or dvd burner can burn a copy of ubuntu
[20:43] <ThinkT510> !sudo | Kgbwilf
[20:43] <gui_> the issue is my graphic card i think ...
[20:44] <joeoshawa> regardless of the os
[20:44] <ikonia> Kgbwilf: you don't, that's why it requires sudo
[20:44] <h0nd0> sudo -i
[20:44] <jordan_> gui, gotcha
[20:44] <ikonia> Kgbwilf: what command do you want to run ?
[20:45] <jordan_> gui, if its not in the additional hardware window, than im just as stuck on it as u r
[20:45] <jordan_> gui, :D
[20:45] <gui_> ok
[20:45] <unoob> ChogyDan: this is the complete error I get when I try upgrading from either terminal or the gui: http://pastebin.com/gqAvnwTd
[20:46] <ChogyDan> unoob: you should check some of the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade

[20:50] <GeekyAdam> im trying to use feh to watch a windowed (not fullscreen) slideshow of a folder of images. but every time the slideshow transitions to the next image it goes fullscreen automatically. as if i clicked the maximize button every time it transitioned. any ideas how to stop that?
[20:50] <AndroUser> hi
[20:50] <silverlightning> what to do with a RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] VGA, that is not listed as supported by ubuntu?
[20:50] <AndroUser> anyone here
[20:50] <ChogyDan> unoob: well that isn't it, maybe term.log
[20:51] <caci> AndroUser: nope
[20:51] <AndroUser> is anyone getting this message
[20:51] <caci> AndroUser: nope
[20:51] <AndroUser> irc newb alert
[20:51] <unoob> AndroUser: just ask your question
[20:51] <jordan_> lol
[20:51] <maco> AndroUser: nope, cant see a thing you're saying
[20:51] <AndroUser> um
[20:51] <ThinkT510> !hello | AndroUser
[20:51] <AndroUser> how do I change my nick
[20:51] <aliverius> i have an old celeron here and i would like to check the cpu freq but the appropriate files dont appear in /sys
[20:52] <maco> AndroUser: /nick newnick
[20:52] <erUSUL> !nick | AndroUser
[20:52] <aliverius> what module am i missing?
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> aliverius: cat /proc/cpuinfo | less
[20:52] <AndroUser> changed
[20:52] <AndroUser> damn
[20:52] <unoob> ChogyDan: the term.log is empty
[20:53] <Naeblis> i need help. my xubuntu hard disk is filling up automatically. I'm not downloading anything i'm aware of!
[20:53] <droiduser> did it work
[20:53] <ChogyDan> unoob: apt.log?
[20:53] <droiduser> can anyone recommend any irc chat channels
[20:53] <Naeblis> at 0.96 GB now!
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: try:  du -h /var | tail     what is output?
[20:53] <andrew2u> ub studio 10.10 and 9.04... I often disconnect the network cable from the computer when I'm not using the net. The problem is when I reconnect, ubuntu studio takes really long to see it or establish connection. I have to wait several minutes or restart with the network cable. Linux mint sees it right away. Why is that?
[20:54] <droiduser> is there an Android channel
[20:54] <droiduser> ...
[20:54] <silverlightning> actionparsnip, there's 10 idia-glx packages to choos from, will they possible muck up my system?
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: sorry; du -h /var | tail -n 1
[20:54] <ikonia> droiduser: no idea, ask in #freenode
[20:54] <Pici> !alis > droiduser
[20:54] <unoob> ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/AqYKCdW6
[20:54] <droiduser> how do I see private messages
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: not sure dude, sorry

[20:54] <droiduser> also I'm on android
[20:55] <jordan_> anybody know a nice looking system mon that i can run similarly like a widget?
[20:55] <GeekyAdam> droiduser: depends which way you're viewing irc
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: sudo du -h /var | tail -n 1      will be neater :)
[20:55] <droiduser> so its not classic mirc or anything
[20:55] <aliverius> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/hXJz5QLR
[20:55] <droiduser> its just an Android market app
[20:55] <GeekyAdam> droiduser: whats the app?
[20:55] <droiduser> um
[20:55] <droiduser> brb
[20:55] <ikonia> droiduser: it's also offtopic for this channel, (geekyadam you too)
[20:55] <Pici> droiduser: How are we at #ubuntu supposed to know how your random android IRC app works?
[20:55] <droiduser> androirc
[20:55] <Naeblis> yeah I did sudo. it says  1.4 G /var
[20:55] <GeekyAdam> ikonia: just tryin to help man.
[20:56]  * GeekyAdam frowns at ikonia.
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> aliverius: ok so its a 2.8Ghz CPU
[20:56] <bencc> how can I delete a user and a group without getting a warning: group 'something' has no more members
[20:56] <ChogyDan> unoob: have you ever installed updated xorg packages?
[20:56] <droiduser> how do I check pms
[20:56] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip : 1.4G	/var
[20:56] <Pici> droiduser: We don't know.
[20:56] <ikonia> droiduser: ask in #freenode
[20:56] <aliverius> ActionParsnip: i want to be able to edit and read the files in /sys/devices/system/cpu
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: ok thats quite a lot, run: sudo apt-get clean   then re-run
[20:56] <jordan_> anybody know a nice looking system mon that i can run similarly like a widget?
[20:57] <Mahjongg> hi, could anyone help me with setting up a bridge on my system for openvpn? I am having trouble deciding on the IP numbers to use.
[20:57] <unoob> ChogyDan: the only thing I have done on this system since a fresh install is doing an update of what Ubuntu says should be updated, so no I don't believe so
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> bencc: you could remove the group first.
[20:57] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip did it. nothing happened
[20:58] <xlemming> aliverius:  you need to load one of the cpufreq kernel modules to get the scaling bits working
[20:58] <droiduser> how do I join freenode
[20:58] <ikonia> !info bombono-dvd
[20:58] <bencc> ActionParsnip: I thought I can't remove the primary group of a user
[20:58] <ikonia> droiduser: /join #freenode
[20:58] <aliverius> xlemming: which would it be in my case?
[20:58] <aliverius> xlemming: http://pastebin.com/hXJz5QLR
[20:59] <zerbiu> load
[20:59] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: its still filling up. 0.94 GB now!
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: cd /var;  sudo du -h *     what are the biggest ones, or ones that stand out as huge?
[20:59] <ChogyDan> unoob: did you post history.log yet?
[20:59] <andrew2u> ubuntu 10.10 ; can I get another volume control that doesn't have the mail indicator for gnome task bar, whatever it's called. The new one has volume /  mail and it's listed as the Indicator applet.
[21:00] <jordan_> I want to get a nice looking cpu mon similar to a widget? possibly even show the temps of the northbridge? anybody got any ideas
[21:00] <xlemming> aliverius:  probably speedstep-lib is what I have on 10.04
[21:00] <unoob> ChogyDan: would that be in the same directory? no such file exists
[21:00] <andrew2u> I just need a volume control on the bar, not volume and mail. The Volum/mail panel item is too wide.
[21:01] <ikonia> jordan_: try to wait a little longer before repeating the question please
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: try: cd /var; sudo du -h * | sort -n -r | head -n 10
[21:01] <ChogyDan> unoob: I dunno then, that's all the files right?
[21:01] <jordan_> gotcha, think i asked initially about 7 minutes ago, didnt think anyone saw so i rephrased it
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: also, what is the output of:  du -h ~/.xsession-errors
[21:02] <unoob> ChogyDan: yes... so should I just download a 10.10 ISO and install that?
[21:02] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: for the first command, log/gdm has 506M
[21:02] <master> hello everyone I am pretty good on computers but I just got one that can burn DVDs and I am a noob with that can anyone help me and answer a few questions for me really quick?
[21:02] <ChogyDan> unoob: sure, if that works for you
[21:03] <jordan_> master, is it ur first pc with a burner
[21:03] <unoob> ChogyDan: not the ideal situation I was hoping for, but it'll work. thank you for trying.
[21:03] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: I think this is it. now, log/gdm is 513 M
[21:03] <ikonia> jordan_: you asked it 1 minute apart and 4 minutes apart
[21:03] <master> no i know how to do cds never did dvds
[21:03] <jordan_> lol, my bad , seemed longer with no replies
[21:04] <jordan_> master, what do u need
[21:04] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: for the error command: 56K	/home/manish/.xsession-errors
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: run it in a bit and see if its grown
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: least its not that then :)
[21:04] <jordan_> ikonia, did u really go back and check the times
[21:04] <ikonia> jordan_: it is on my screen
[21:04] <master> i got a new mac and i have movies in AVI format but I want to burn them to DVD I have toast titanium 10 but when I burn them they look really really bad
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: you get the idea though. go hunting with that command :D
[21:04] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: still growing, 517M now
[21:04] <ikonia> master: what OS are you using ont he mac ?
[21:04] <soraya> hi guys,can i install ubuntu on a MAC iBook G4
[21:05] <master> now i know other people that used to give me avi to dvd and they looked clear
[21:05] <ikonia> soraya: you need the PPC port
[21:05]  * BluesKaj thinks master probly needs libdvdcss2
[21:05] <master> im using snow leopard
[21:05] <jordan_> ikonia, really, i dont see times on mine
[21:05] <ikonia> master: ok, this is Ubuntu support, not mac support
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: looks like you have the culprit
[21:05] <soraya> ikonia, whats that ?
[21:05] <ikonia> master: try ##apple
[21:05] <master> i heard toast ten was the best
[21:05] <master> thanks
[21:05] <ikonia> soraya: it's the ubuntu version made for hte Power PC
[21:05] <BluesKaj> !mac | master
[21:05] <Naeblis> I'm panicking here
[21:05] <BluesKaj> :)
[21:05] <soraya> ikonia, where can i get it ?
[21:05] <ikonia> !PPC | soraya
[21:05] <amh345> is it possible to have a mouse in terminal?  or even some way to copy things returned from terminal?  i'm tired of writing down my psk key
[21:06] <jordan_> ikonia, how do u see times on ur window
[21:06] <ikonia> amh345: gdm
[21:06] <ikonia> jordan_: it's just part of my client
[21:06] <guntbert> amh345: use <ctrl><shift> C to copy...
[21:06] <amh345> ikonia: i have no desktop
[21:06] <ikonia> amh345: oops, I meant gpm
[21:06] <ikonia> sorry
[21:06] <jordan_> amh, yeah, highlight whatever and right click hit copy or paste
[21:06] <jordan_> ctrl c and v wont work in the terminal right
[21:06] <guntbert> amh345: then my suggestion won't work, sorry
[21:07] <amh345> you guys no what i mean right? like leyts say i return an error and i want to copy that error and paste it here.
[21:07] <jordan_> right clicking and manually clicking copy and paste will work though
[21:07] <ikonia> amh345: gpm
[21:07] <amh345> ok, gpm it is.
[21:07] <andres_> hola
[21:07] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: what do I do now? Also, I downloaded an app called F.lux. Could it have to do something with it?
[21:07] <jordan_> amh, yeh highlight the error with the mouse, then right click the highlight, then choose copy
[21:08] <amh345> ikonia: thans]
[21:08] <IdleOne> jordan_: the shortcut to copy/paste in terminal are ctrl-shift-c and ctrl-shift-v
[21:08] <amh345> thanks*
[21:08] <guntbert> !es | andres_
[21:08] <jordan_> ah the shift is needed
[21:08] <jordan_> cool didnt know that
[21:09] <jordan_> IdleOne, thnx for the tip, i just installed ubuntu 2 days ago and initially tried ctrl c no no avail so resorted to right clicking
[21:09] <scottnyc> how do i make a folder writable, want to add files to /var/www for lamp use
[21:09] <ikonia> scottnyc: change the owner with chown or the permissions with chmod
[21:09] <amh345> woohoo i have mouse.  thanks guys
[21:09] <h0nd0> you can run the <command> &> error.txt and then copy and paste to here or a pastebin
[21:09] <scottnyc> ikonia not speaking my language lol im new to this
[21:10] <scottnyc> what can i write in terminal
[21:10] <scottnyc> to make that happen
[21:10] <GeekyAdam> just fyi if anyones wondering about using feh (image viewer) in windowed mode, the parameter to pass is -g640x480 (change to whatever window size you want to use.
[21:11] <ikonia> scottnyc: if you are going to be running a lamp server I think you need to look into https://help.ubuntu.com and learn the basics of how linux/ubuntu works
[21:11] <ikonia> GeekyAdam: no-one was wondering
[21:11] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: still there?
[21:11] <GeekyAdam> ikonia: ur very grumpy today :/
[21:12]  * GeekyAdam runs away to avoid ikonia's evil stare.
[21:12] <BluesKaj> ikonia, chases another one away
[21:12] <scottnyc> how do i change permissions with chmod, trying to make a folder writable to add files to for lamp, (/var/www) new to linux for mac
[21:12] <scottnyc> ok
[21:12] <jordan_> lmao
[21:12] <ikonia> BluesKaj: if you have something to say please join #ubuntu-ops and say it
[21:12] <jordan_> poor guy!
[21:13] <emme> ciao
[21:13] <jordan_> yeh why so cold?
[21:13] <BluesKaj> ikonia, why ? I'm not an op ..and you'd probly kick me :)
[21:13] <jordan_> think he was just trying to help ppl out
[21:13] <ikonia> BluesKaj: not at all, I'm asking you to do it
[21:14] <IdleOne> BluesKaj: If you have an issue with how one of the ops does things please feel free and welcome to join #ubuntu-ops and let us know.
[21:14] <IdleOne> BluesKaj: otherwise please keep the offtopic commentary to yourself
[21:15] <YBinnenweg> gys?
[21:15] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, it's not serious ...was making a funny
[21:16] <jordan_> test
[21:16] <jordan_> nvm
[21:16] <jordan_> thuoght i got booted
[21:16] <YBinnenweg> Guys I need some help with my other harddisk. Rightnow I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on 1 harddisk, but I have another one, which I would like to install windows 7 on, because of itunes and some other stuff. Now the windows installation won't let me install it, so my question is, if there is any disk recovery tool for ubuntu, which can scan my other harddisk, and fix bad sectors, or just fix the whole drive up.
[21:17] <miho> Nvidia GT8600 trouble
[21:17] <miho> 8(
[21:17] <miho> nvidia driver (recomented) install
[21:17] <miho> after
[21:17] <miho> console
[21:17] <silverlightning> is ubuntu radically different when it comes to drivers and hardware compared to fedora, slackware, ..
[21:17] <miho> not found nvidia
[21:18] <miho> 10.10
[21:18] <YBinnenweg> guys anyone of you knows a disc recovery tool?
[21:18] <YBinnenweg> well not recovery
[21:18] <usr13> YBinnenweg: If you can tell the system to boot to the other drive, you have a chance.
[21:18] <YBinnenweg> it doesn't matter
[21:18] <YBinnenweg> i got all the data
[21:19] <YBinnenweg> i just want to scan it for bad sectors from this ubuntu 10.10 installation
[21:19] <miho> xorg.conf default start
[21:19] <usr13> YBinnenweg: MS-Windows installs are for the first disk only.  Linux you can install on any of the others, but MS-Windows only installs and boots from first drive.
[21:20] <YBinnenweg> so i gotta dismount all my other drives and retry to install?
[21:20] <YBinnenweg> i mean hardware dismount
[21:20] <YBinnenweg> take the power out of my other drives
[21:20] <usr13> YBinnenweg: fsck /dev/sdb  # Or what ever.
[21:20] <YBinnenweg> wtf?
[21:20] <shutz> YBinnenweg, why would you do that? :/
[21:20] <usr13> YBinnenweg: fsck -y /dev/sdb  # To scan and fix.
[21:21] <Primdal> Are there different PATH variables for my standard user and sudo?
[21:21] <b0ot> Does ubuntu allow you to watch silverlight videos?
[21:21] <usr13> YBinnenweg: But do NOT try and do it on a drive that is mounted.
[21:21] <YBinnenweg> i won
[21:21] <YBinnenweg> 't
[21:21] <jo-erlend> b0ot: yes, but not with drm.
[21:21] <usr13> YBinnenweg: And it would be the partition, not the drive. i.e.  fsck /dev/sdb1
[21:22] <usr13> YBinnenweg: man fsdk for more details.
[21:22] <YBinnenweg> okay :)
[21:22] <YBinnenweg> but i got it i think
[21:22] <YBinnenweg> drive is unmounted
[21:23] <usr13> YBinnenweg: sudo fdisk -y  #To look at drive designations.
[21:23] <YBinnenweg> The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.
[21:23] <usr13> YBinnenweg: sudo fdisk -l  #Not y.
[21:24] <usr13> YBinnenweg: fsck -t (filesystem-type-here)  /dev/sdb1  # To scan and fix.
[21:24] <YBinnenweg> so that will be
[21:24] <YBinnenweg> fsck -t ntfs  /dev/sdb1
[21:24] <YBinnenweg> ?
[21:25] <usr13> YBinnenweg: fsck is really just to check and repair linux file systems.
[21:25] <YBinnenweg> so i gotta reformat it into a linux partition?
[21:25] <b0ot> jo-erlend, Is there a way just to record silverlight videos?
[21:26] <jordan_> I want to get a nice looking cpu mon similar to a widget? possibly even show the temps of the northbridge? anybody got any idea
[21:26] <usr13> YBinnenweg: But if you read the man file, you'll see that there is fsck.msdos and fsck.vfat etc...
[21:27] <brontoeee> jordan_, possibly script something with conky?
[21:27] <jordan_> whats conky
[21:28] <brontoeee> !conky
[21:28] <jordan_> brontoeee, is that a widget manager
[21:28] <brontoeee> jordan_, nope, check about here http://conky.sourceforge.net/, should be in repos
[21:28] <khamer> jordan_, it just displays text on your desktop
[21:28] <Primdal> everytime i try to use a command as sudo it says command not found
[21:29] <brontoeee> right
[21:29] <ben_> What up?
[21:29] <usr13> Primdal: What command?
[21:29] <Primdal> for example "sudo: cd: command not found"
[21:29] <ben_> Anyone up for starting a forum?
[21:29] <jordan_> ah i was lookin for a nice gui lookin one
[21:29] <ben_> i have full hosting privilages
[21:29] <usr13> Primdal: Leave off the colin :
[21:29] <jordan_> like the ones in win7
[21:29] <YBinnenweg> this is what it tells me in all cases: "Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb"
[21:29] <Primdal> usr13: the command i used was sudo cd root/
[21:30] <ben_> Anyone want to help start a forum?
[21:30] <Primdal> usr13: no :
[21:30] <khamer> Pricey, cd is not a command
[21:30] <khamer> er Primdal,
[21:30] <khamer> Primdal, cd is a builtin
[21:30] <usr13> *colon
[21:30] <khamer> Primdal, "sudo cd root/" doesn't even make any sense
[21:30] <Primdal> khamer: yeah, i know. It freaks me out
[21:30] <usr13> Primdal: You do not need to use sudo to cd to root
[21:30] <YBinnenweg> usr13: this is the message i get: "Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb"
[21:31] <DrupalJim> I just created some scripts to backup my sql dumps via duplicity. All the dumps are then sent to my cloudfiles account for backup purposes. I understand tehre is a command to restore backups...but what if i wanted to extract the difftar.gz's on my windows machine...how would i go about doing that?
[21:31] <khamer> Primdal, ?
[21:31] <usr13> Primdal: leave off the sudo, just:  cd /root
[21:31] <jordan_> you guys have any sys mon tools similar to the widgets in win7?
[21:31] <Primdal> usr13: Well when i tried cd /root/ it told me permission denied
[21:31] <khamer> Primdal, that's true, sudo isn't going to fix that
[21:31] <miho> GT8600 fail 8(
[21:31] <brontoeee> ben_, forums are so 2004, now you need to install a 'social network'
[21:32] <BluesKaj> jordan_, I just use the monitor in kmenu/apps/system
[21:32] <usr13> Primdal: Someting wrong with your sistem.
[21:32] <Primdal> khamer: ok, but i still dont understand the command not found part
[21:32] <khamer> Primdal you either need to specify what you want to do there (sudo ls /root") or switch you user to root (sudo -s)
[21:32] <jordan_> ah, i seen that one, i was looking for a desktop slimline one
[21:32] <usr13> YBinnenweg: sudo fdisk -l #To see what you have.  And as I said, partition not drive.
[21:32] <khamer> Primdal, cd isn't a command; its not in /bin, /usr/bin, or any of those; it's a builtin command to the shell
[21:32] <BluesKaj> jordan_, you can add it to the panel
[21:33] <khamer> Primdal, do "which cd"
[21:33] <Primdal> $ which cd
[21:33] <Primdal> no output
[21:33] <YBinnenweg> usr13: "/dev/sdb1               1       14946   120053713+   7  HPFS/NTFS"
[21:33] <khamer> Primdal, exactly, there's no executable called 'cd'; it's built-in to bash
[21:33] <khamer> Primdal, same as fc and bg and others
[21:33] <usr13> YBinnenweg: Whell there you go.
[21:34] <jordan_> BluesKaj, how do i do that
[21:34] <khamer> Primdal, sudo takes an executable as an argument; not shell built-ins
[21:34] <BluesKaj> jordan_, right click on the app , choose add to panel
[21:34] <YBinnenweg> usr13: when i try to check it i get these errors
[21:34] <khamer> Primdal, sudo really says "run this application as root", except, there's no application 'cd'
[21:35] <Primdal> khamer: ok. ty. So I tried $ which tlmgr and get and a path, but when i try $ sudo which tlmgr there is no output
[21:35] <YBinnenweg> usr13: "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2"
[21:35] <YBinnenweg> usr13: "fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found"
[21:35] <usr13> !paste | YBinnenweg
[21:35] <YBinnenweg> thnx :)
[21:35] <jordan_> no temperatures in there?
[21:35] <usr13> YBinnenweg: fsck is for linux file systems.
[21:35] <YBinnenweg> what is for ntfs?
[21:36] <khamer> Primdal, most likely, your root's path isn't the same as your path, so the root account doesn' know how to find tlmgr

[21:36] <ilessthan3ubuntu> i have an intel & nvidia card in my laptop, how do i see which module is currently in use? lspci / lsmod ??
[21:36] <usr13> YBinnenweg: NTFS (New Technology File System)
[21:36] <khamer> Primdal, because 99% of the time "which foobar" and "sudo which foobar" will show the same thing
[21:36] <Primdal> khamer: Yeah, i thought it might be something like that. So that was why i wanted to change $PATH in /root
[21:37] <usr13> YBinnenweg: It's Microsoft's way of saying it's a New and improved file system.
[21:37] <Primdal> khamer: that is where sudos PATH var is, right?
[21:37] <YBinnenweg> okay
[21:37] <YBinnenweg> but I need to fix it somehow :S
[21:37] <YBinnenweg> well
[21:37] <Wipster> hey I am running a make script and its doing an rm command however my harddrive light is fully on but no processes seem to be running, in the system monitor the rm process is sitting there with sync_page and sync_buffer states... swap usage is 0 and memory is only 13%
[21:37] <YBinnenweg> scan it
[21:38] <khamer> Primdal, believe so
[21:38] <usr13> YBinnenweg: fsck is not for checking NTFS file system.
[21:38] <YBinnenweg> is there a command for checking NTFS file system?
[21:38] <ThinkT510> !ntfs-3g >> ThinkT510
[21:39] <Primdal> khamer: but i need to get to /root then. How do i do that?
[21:39] <Lastmerlin> hi!
[21:39] <BluesKaj> ogotta go bbl, I'm forgetting that I'm on kde , gotta load gnome if I'm gonna give help here :P
[21:39] <Lastmerlin> I need some help with setting up a wlan connection
[21:39] <ikonia> YBinnenweg: best to do it from windows
[21:39] <Lastmerlin> I already fought my way through driver installation etc
[21:39] <usr13> YBinnenweg: chkdsk
[21:39] <Lastmerlin> now I can chose the device in networkmanager
[21:39] <YBinnenweg> i don't have a windows rightnow :S
[21:39] <Lastmerlin> go to *add wireless connection*
[21:40] <Lastmerlin> scan for devices, it detects my easybox instantly
[21:40] <loculinux> hola
[21:40] <Lastmerlin> with 99% signal
[21:40] <Lastmerlin> enter wpa key, and press add
[21:40] <Lastmerlin> everything seems fine..
[21:40] <loculinux> hello
[21:40] <Lastmerlin> ... except that the box for wireless connections stays empty
[21:40] <khamer> Primdal, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257616/sudo-changes-path-why it's not in /root
[21:40] <Lastmerlin> no error message, nothing :(
[21:40] <usr13> YBinnenweg: I suggest you install Linux on the second drive and MS Windows on the first drive.
[21:41] <Lastmerlin> checked /var/log/deamon.log, because I found that networkmanager writes its log there
[21:41] <YBinnenweg> okay
[21:41] <Lastmerlin> nothing useful in there
[21:41] <khamer> Primdal, but you (your user account) cannot cd into /root, as it's not allowed to; you either need to use sudo to ls/edit a file in there without cd-ing into hte directory, or you need to 'become' root with a command like 'sudo -s'
[21:41] <YBinnenweg> can i also rightnow shut the power down of my linux drive, so my computer only sees the windows drive, install windows and after that mess with the bootloader?
[21:41] <Lastmerlin> any proposals what commands to run to get more information ?
[21:41] <usr13> YBinnenweg: And ust have a blank, un-partitioned drive to start with.
[21:41] <Lastmerlin> something that either works or prints some error message what went wrong ?
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> okay
[21:42] <Primdal> khamer: Ok. Thanks a lot. I will test the solution in the link
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> well
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> rightnow
[21:42] <shutz> YBinnenweg, so you have windows installed to that drive?
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> had
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> not anymore
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> it had aids or something
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> it would only boot in safemode
[21:42] <usr13> YBinnenweg: Disconnecting the power to the first drive will not help you.
[21:42] <shutz> lol
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> and i needed a reinstall anyway
[21:42] <shutz> well, you can do a chkdsk in safemode
[21:42] <YBinnenweg> chkdsk: command not found
[21:43] <shutz> on your windows drive...
[21:43] <usr13> YBinnenweg: Unless you intend to just switch drives each time.  In which case, I suggest getting a set of removable drive trays.
[21:43] <shutz> if there's windows on it ofc...
[21:43] <YBinnenweg> there is no windows on
[21:43] <YBinnenweg> it has been formatted 5 times by now
[21:44] <usr13> YBinnenweg: The ideal situation for a dual boot system is to have MS Windows installed on the first drive and Linux on the second.
[21:44] <YBinnenweg> i can switch the drives
[21:44] <YBinnenweg> that doesn't matter
[21:45] <YBinnenweg> i can just change the bootorder
[21:45] <YBinnenweg> it's 2 harddisks éh
[21:45] <usr13> YBinnenweg: Wouldn't you rather have a dual boot system?
[21:45] <YBinnenweg> i do
[21:45] <YBinnenweg> but i can edit the windows bootloader
[21:45] <amh345_> im setting up my wireless.  i see everything there under wlan0 when i run iwconfig.. but i cant update or ping anything.
[21:45] <amh345_> is there a way i can see where it's failing?
[21:45] <YBinnenweg> to make it dualboot windows and ubuntu
[21:46] <taptapir> hi is there a t1.micro ami for ubuntu 10.10?
[21:46] <shutz> there's no windows on your HDD, you don't have a windows CD, how would you change your boot.ini ? :/
[21:46] <usr13> amh345_: iwconfig  should tell you if the essid is correct.
[21:46] <Pjstaab> Can anyone help me with getting a python module named osgeo.gdal
[21:47] <amh345_> usr13: it is correct. but i defined it manually in /etc/networking
[21:47] <concon_> Nickserv dead?
[21:47] <Primdal> khamer: The workaround for sudos path worked for me. Thanks a lot. Have a nice day
[21:47] <amh345_> usr13: but im grabbing an access point, signal strength is showing.. all that stuff
[21:47] <usr13> amh345_: You defined the essid in /etc/networking ?
[21:48] <usr13> amh345_: What is the device name?
[21:48] <amh345_> usr13: sorry /interfaces
[21:48] <joeoshawa> if i log a bug for the bombono program in ubuntu will it still get fixed being that it is not a ubuntu specific issue
[21:48] <konaya__> Does anyone know how the default Ubuntu start-up sound is licensed?
[21:49] <newiiname> hello
[21:49] <usr13> amh345_: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file
[21:49] <konaya__> I've googled, but can't seem to find an answer.
[21:49] <usr13> amh345_: You are going about it in the wrong way.  What is the device name?  What do you see when you issue command  iwconfig  with no arguments?
[21:50] <EliasAmaral> f (a b) (c d) -> f (a b) $ c d. is there a way to remove the () from (a b) too?
[21:50] <EliasAmaral> ops
[21:50] <EliasAmaral> wrong channel
[21:50] <shutz> YBinnenweg,  why don't you use a bootable disk like ultimate boot CD or something to check for bad sectors?
[21:51] <usr13> amh345_: pastebin the output of iwconfig
[21:52] <ThinkT510> wow, bad netsplit
[21:52] <shutz> more splits please! :(
[21:52] <Lastmerlin> @ usr13: can you have a look at my issue as well ? its very similiar (setup wlan)
[21:53] <joeoshawa> if anyone is using bombono don't make ntsc dvds with it
[21:53] <usr13> amh345_:  iwconfig | pastebinit
[21:53] <joeoshawa> they won't work properly
[21:57] <newiiname> hello
[21:57] <_ghost> hey
[21:57] <newiiname> can someone tell me what packages to install in 10.04 to make a touch screen work in a tablet
[21:58] <_ghost> i have no idea what im doing
[21:58] <konaya__> Does anyone know how the default Ubuntu start-up sound is licensed?
[21:59] <konaya__> Is it open sourced?
[21:59] <amh345_> alright. server 10.10..   my wireless (wlan0) appears to at *least* grab the signal.. but pinging and updates yield no results..
[21:59] <konaya__> If so, where do I find the sheet music for it?
[21:59] <usr13> amh345_: sudo dhclient wlan0
[22:00] <amh345_> usr13: thanks ! :)
[22:00] <usr13> amh345_: NP
[22:00] <amh345_> i need to right that down
[22:00] <usr13> amh345_: sudo apt-get install wicd
[22:00] <amh345_> whats that?
[22:01] <_ghost> i just installed backtrack linux, are they gonna back trace me noww?
[22:01] <usr13> amh345_: Wired and Wireless Network Connection Manager
[22:01] <amh345_> usr13: for terminal?
[22:01] <Provenzano> hi. I have problem need some help plz. On boot I only see "grub rescue>" and cant get past it! I have a eee pc with ubuntu and windows 7 on it
[22:01] <usr13> amh345_: That is, if you want a pointy clicky way to do these things.
[22:02] <amh345_> usr	im trying to get familiar with just commandline.. but i'll install that just in case :)
[22:02] <usr13> amh345_: Open terminal, type: sudo apt-get install wicd   # Hit enter.  Once the application is installed, reboot or just log out and back in again.
[22:03] <nejode> newiiname, http://www.bytetips.com/touchscreen-support-ubuntu/
[22:03] <evo> kj
[22:03] <usr13> amh345_: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afVnO3p67Js
[22:03] <amh345_> my connection keeps dropping. crap
[22:04] <newiiname> nejode, THANKS
[22:04] <Provenzano> hi. I have problem need some help plz. On boot I only see "grub rescue>" and cant get past it! I have a eee pc with ubuntu and windows 7 on it I get a "error: no such partition". can someone help me?
[22:04] <usr13> amh345_: sudo dhclient wlan0 ; sudo apt-get install wicd
[22:04] <usr13> amh345_: sudo dhclient wlan0 ; sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo reboot
[22:04] <nejode> Provenzano, more info please... new install? what version of ubuntu? etc, etc
[22:04] <amh345_> i have to run this udo dhclient wlan0 each time i want to ping/update/install
[22:05] <amh345_> usr13: wicd is installing now
[22:05] <newiiname> nejode, doing it now,  but what is utouch ???
[22:05] <amh345_> shit. it just crapped out again.
[22:05] <usr13> amh345_: sudo dhclient wlan0 ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager ; sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo reboot
[22:05] <Provenzano> nejode latest version of ubuntu, i got the error after messing up I guess my windows partition, I really dont know what happened!
[22:05] <usr13> amh345_: Very good, that will probably fix it for you.
[22:07] <nejode> Provenzano, can you boot a live version of ubuntu with a flash drive?
[22:07] <[biabia]> ok i used google chrome before, thought i would try chromium.  why on earth is chromium so much slower
[22:08] <Provenzano> I can try. and what I should do next? can I put jeOs so I dont need to download a large file or should I get the files from a ubuntu cd?
[22:08] <Provenzano> nejode
[22:09] <amh345_> im throwing tmp_transmit: tpm_Send errors midway through my install.
[22:09] <sogeking99> hey guys is it possible to share my folders on windows 7 with my laptop which uses ubuntu
[22:09] <nejode> Provenzano, you need to boot into a live environment so you can fis grub
[22:09] <nejode> *fix
[22:13] <nejode> ...maybe nickserv is overloaded...
[22:14] <ychhh> hello everyone
[22:14] <newiiname> nejode, installed it, rebooting, thanks
[22:14] <induz> hello
[22:15] <induz> good afternoon
[22:15] <induz> hello
[22:15] <immy> hi
[22:15] <ychhh> may i ask a question
[22:15] <induz> how can i determine how many GB is avilable  to use on Lucid??
[22:15] <SoftarPaul> I'm having problems with my emailnotification
[22:16] <induz> I had 80 Gb hd out of which  Lucid is installed as it grows kinda
[22:16] <induz> now i want to know how much is left on my HDD??
[22:16] <SoftarPaul> It can't read my Hotmail
[22:17] <ychhh> a friend of mine installed ubuntu 10.10 and wants to change his screen-resolution from 1600 to 1024. but the screen stays black.
[22:18] <ychhh> does anyone knows why?
[22:18] <iflema> induz: terninal = df -h  or applications/accessories has a disk usage app
[22:18] <immy> yesterday i booted up I launched a terminal by custom shortcut (super + T)... not sure if I mis-keyed but when i moved the mouse after the that, the desktop got bigger and moved around... weird
[22:18] <Pumpkin-> induz: df (most likely with -h to get some human readable units)
[22:18] <nejode> induz, "df -h"
[22:20] <ychhh> a friend of mine installed ubuntu 10.10 and wants to change his screen-resolution from 1600 to 1024. but the screen stays black.
[22:20] <ychhh> does anyone knows why?
[22:21] <induz> ok I got it from both-GUI and command line
[22:24]  * Pumpkin- is getting very very confused by the Debian/Ubuntu exim configuration method. Anyone got a clue where I configure what interfaces I want exim to listen on ?
[22:24] <michaelxq> anyone knows how to install LBRC 0.6.4 at Ubuntu 10.04?
[22:24] <immy> hi pumpkin
[22:25] <Oer> !package lbrc
[22:25] <Vino> can somebody help me with this? http://pastebin.com/T5qMBLaJ
[22:25] <Vino> can't install a package because of some strange errors
[22:26] <Vino> first some stuff about "files list for package missing" and then "fork failed: cannoy allocate memory"
[22:26] <immy> anyone know why the values in df -h don't add up? i have one logical partition of 60G - it says 60G total, 8.6G used and 48G remaining
[22:26] <michaelxq> anyone knows how to install LBRC 0.6.4 at Ubuntu 10.04?
[22:28] <Vino> what the hell is going on with all these renames?
[22:28] <miho> FLY.........
[22:28] <maco> Vino: they're not renames, they're mostly joins and parts
[22:28] <ychhh> \me
[22:28] <maco> Vino: i think its actually netsplits
[22:28] <maco> given the number
[22:28] <mgolisch> yeah
[22:29] <jmwpc> The same thing is happening in #pidgin, presumably other channels
[22:29] <ychhh> and away :-)
[22:29] <Vino> * PleXuS is now known as 50UAAA7OY <-- this is a netsplit?
[22:29] <mgolisch> that happens if some of the servers loose connection to the rest of the network
[22:29] <mgolisch> all users on those servers will leave the channel and come back if they connect back again
[22:29] <Vino> well... with all this joins and parts i don't know how anybody can hold a conversation. is there somewhere quieter i can get help?
[22:30] <mgolisch> just disable the join/part spam in your client
[22:30] <mgolisch> its annoying anyways
[22:30] <ilessthan3ubuntu> how do i determine my wifi chipset?? lsmod / lspci ? dmesg|grep something??? help
[22:30] <maco> Vino: sure we can. and at the same time, they chat on their separate servers...  (personally, i have joins/parts set to a dimmer purple colour so they're out of the way of the text, which is black)
[22:30] <Pumpkin-> immy: I think it might be related to "reserved disk space" for root. Google around for tune2fs and the like.
[22:30] <Vino> fair enough...
[22:31] <Vino> would someone look at this for me then? http://pastebin.com/T5qMBLaJ
[22:31] <immy> thx pumpkin
[22:31] <Vino> i can't install the unzip package because of some strange errors
[22:31] <maco> immy: probably also some rounding and that fun base-2 versus base-10 gigabyte/gibibyte stuff
[22:32] <maco> Vino: i'd try "sudo dpkg -P unzip" first
[22:32] <miho> uiiiiiiiiii..
[22:32] <Pumpkin-> maco: indeed. I wish the entire industry had just picked one and gone with it a LONG time ago. Sadly we have marketing
[22:33] <Vino> erm, now it says "package is in a bad or inconsistent state, you should reinstall it before attempting removal"
[22:34] <Vino> usually stuff like this is a full hard drive, but i'm at 15%, this is a new install
[22:34] <maco> Vino: well since clearly *that* isnt gonna happen, purging is the only way to get it gone-gone
[22:34] <Vino> about a month or two ago
[22:34] <Vino> purging?
[22:34] <maco> Vino: the -P
[22:34] <maco> Vino: try adding  --force-remove-reinstreq
[22:34] <Pumpkin-> you might need some --force stuff
[22:34] <immy> thx maco
[22:35] <Vino> that seems to have removed it
[22:35] <Vino> so what now, reinstall again?
[22:35] <maco> Vino: yeah
[22:35] <Vino> okay it didn't give me the same error as before: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)"
[22:36] <Vino> what kind of thing would cause this?
[22:36] <maco> Vino: thats all the info it gave?
[22:37] <Vino> also i can't figure out how to shut these joins and parts up in my client, and it's driving me crazy
[22:37] <brontoeee> ePirat, either read the man or dump the sox file on hd and do mediainfo file.wav on that, then read oggenc man to see what kind of wav types it may eat
[22:37] <Vino> that's the only error, i can pastebin the whole thing if you want
[22:38] <ods15> Hi - I have a really stupid question - how do I disable a specific keyboard shortcut in gnome-terminal?
[22:38] <Vino> http://pastebin.com/c5LT9S6y
[22:38] <maco> Vino: /ignore * JOINS PARTS QUITS
[22:38] <ods15> I'm in the "keyboard shortcuts" menu, and i can figure out how to change the shortcut to something else, but i don't see how i can disable it entirely...
[22:39] <Vino> i tried installing "zip" instead and it went back to the fork failed error
[22:39] <maco> Vino: try adding -D20 to get debugging info?
[22:39] <maco> ods15: backspace or delet?
[22:40] <maco> ods15: back when it had an option to change by mousing over the menu option and clicking a button, that was what cleared it
[22:40] <maco> ods15: by "it" i mean gnome had that option
[22:40] <maco> (i imagine its still in gconf-editor somewhere...)
[22:40] <ods15> maco, ah, yes, "backspace" did it :)
[22:40] <Vino> to apt-get?
[22:40] <ePirat> wow
[22:40] <ePirat> what happens
[22:40] <Vino> apt-get doesn't recognize -D
[22:40] <ePirat> :o
[22:40] <ods15> thanks...
[22:41] <maco> Vino: no, to dpkg. the deb is in /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:41] <maco> ePirat: netsplits
[22:41] <Vino> i'm running "apt-get install zip"
[22:41] <ePirat> oh
[22:41] <maco> Vino: apt-get finished downloading though, right? so the deb is in /var/cache/apt/archives and you can dpkg -i -D20 zip*.deb
[22:42] <Vino> what should i be running?
[22:43] <Vino> sorry for being such a noob, i'm more of a programmer than a sysadmin
[22:43] <induz> any good .wav to mp3 encoder on Lucid
[22:43] <alisalaah> I have an HDMI port on my Asus laptop and Ubuntu isn't detecting the TV when I plug it in..
[22:43] <Raydiation> why is there no network-manager for console?
[22:43] <Vino> yeah it did finish downloading
[22:43] <Raydiation> wpa_supplicant is a pita
[22:43] <Vino> oh okay
[22:43] <erUSUL> induz: graphic? sound-converter
[22:43] <rww> Raydiation: cnetworkmanager in newer versions of Ubuntu
[22:44] <Raydiation> rww: ty
[22:44] <induz> sound converter is crashing
[22:44] <Slart> Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to make rsync copy files from one local dir to another and not care about files that exist with the correct size and modification time.. just doing the standard rsync copy writes everything again if I break and restart the process
[22:44] <rww> might just be maverick. I forget.
[22:44] <tuzlo> Jordan_U, you still here?
[22:44] <Slart> it's possible that rsync just isn't the right tool to use.. any other ideas on what to try?
[22:44] <Vino> http://pastebin.com/eQzD00hv
[22:44] <ilessthan3ubuntu> so whats up with 10.10 grub2, it looks like its from 1993
[22:44] <Vino> thank god the joins stopped
[22:44] <induz> erUSUL, something like MAX on apple
[22:44] <michaelxq> anyone knows how to install LBRC 0.6.4 at Ubuntu 10.04?
[22:45] <iggy_> fred
[22:45] <induz> I dont know why sound-conveter is crashing
[22:45] <bc81> Slart: i think you want the --ignore-existing switch
[22:45] <erUSUL> induz: i've never used an apple machine.
[22:45] <erUSUL> !info winff | induz
[22:45] <jmwpc> Vino: I just found the plugin in Pidgin that hides the joins/leaves :)
[22:45] <Vino> i'm using xchat for windows
[22:45] <konaya__> ilessthan3ubuntu, it does? Do elaborate.
[22:46] <Slart> bc81: I tried that.. it just skips files that already exist.. although they are too small (since I aborted the transfer)
[22:46] <tuzlo> I am tryint to install testdisk using the Ubuntu Software center and for the last hour it has been hung up in the applying changes. Ideas on how to get this package installed
[22:46] <ilessthan3ubuntu> konaya__, i just that it wouldnt be text, i remember a more fancy one
[22:46] <ilessthan3ubuntu> i just thought*
[22:46] <konaya__> ilessthan3ubuntu, because I can't recall that grub even existed back in 1993.
[22:46] <Raydiation> rww:  does this work for wpa enterprise and tls too?
[22:47] <konaya__> :P
[22:47] <ilessthan3ubuntu> konaya__, lol, ya i know...i was exaggerating
[22:47] <alisalaah> Ubuntu 10.10 :: I have an HDMI port on my Asus laptop and Ubuntu isn't detecting the TV when I plug it in..
[22:47] <rww> Raydiation: no idea, I just use it for WPA Personal
[22:47] <iggy_> fred
[22:47] <rww> well, WPA2
[22:48] <Raydiation> rww: hm ok ty
[22:48] <Raydiation> because kde has issues
[22:48] <Vino> what's another small utility i can install so i can see if it's just zip that's the problem?
[22:48] <bc81> Slart: you could try -c (skip based on checksum, i imagine...though, i'm not really an rsync guru)
[22:48] <konaya__> ilessthan3ubuntu, I know :) seriously, though. I kinda prefer when it is text-only. Graphics when your video mode isn't the native resolution for your screen looks terrible.
[22:48] <ilessthan3ubuntu> alisalaah, reboot with the hdmi plugged in
[22:49] <konaya__> alisalaah, System -> Preferences -> Monitors. Reboot shouldn't be necessary.
[22:49] <induz> erUSUL, winFf is working now
[22:49] <ilessthan3ubuntu> i used to have my aspire one triple booted with backtrack n osx
[22:49] <konaya__> alisalaah, what graphics chipset are you on btw?
[22:49] <ilessthan3ubuntu> i couldve sworn i used grub with graphic icons
[22:50] <konaya__> ilessthan3ubuntu, I don't buy graphic icons, but graphic backgrounds I recall seeing. Looks terrible IMO :)
[22:50] <Slart> bc81: mm.. I've been eyeing that switch aswell.. but I was kind of expecting rsync to do the size/mod-time comparison by default (since there is a special switch to start using checksums).. but perhaps I'm expecting to much from little rsync.. anyways.. thanks for your time, I'll try the checksumming and see if it does what I want
[22:50] <ilessthan3ubuntu> konaya__, on that topic dmesg says i have intel /nvidia cards in this laptop, how do i determine which is in use?
[22:50] <ilessthan3ubuntu> lsmod or
[22:51] <bc81> Slart: there's always grsync, it might be a little easier to deal with
[22:51] <konaya__> ilessthan3ubuntu, do you have two graphics adapters in your laptop then? Spec wise?
[22:51] <blundakat> When I run "additional Drivers" in lubuntu Nothing appears in the list, does this mean the proprietary drivers are not compatible with my graphics card? typing lspci shows my Graphics card to be Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M
[22:51] <Slart> bc81: ah.. didn't think of that.. I'll give it a try
[22:51] <ilessthan3ubuntu> konaya__, yes i do have them both in this laptop
[22:52] <Lasse1> hey dudes i havin problems
[22:52] <Lasse1> !!
[22:52] <konaya__> blundakat, that chipset (ATI RS200) is not supported by the proprietary driver, but it should work fine with the free one.
[22:52] <Lasse1> i cant mount my .iso file
[22:52] <konaya__> ilessthan3ubuntu, interesting. Why? :P
[22:52] <ruffdog> Lasse1, please state your problem.  The more specifics the better.
[22:52] <alisalaah> IM IN MONITORS, ITS NOT DETECTED
[22:52] <konaya__> Lasse1, what happens when you try?
[22:52] <alisalaah> oh sorry for caps
[22:53] <ilessthan3ubuntu> konaya__, intel to save battery, the nvidia to game, i can switch between the two with win7, i just want nvidia to work in ubuntu
[22:53] <konaya__> alisalaah, wierd. What graphics chipset do you have?
[22:53] <Lasse1> its says:    Error, could not mount image.  Solution: Try converting the image to ISO or extract the content to a folder from the upper menu "Image Conversion." NOTE: it is NOT possible to mount multi-sector images. For more information, please visit official website: http://www.acetoneteam.org
[22:53] <blundakat> konaya, I was hoping to get 3D support running games etc
[22:53] <michaelxq> anyone knows how to install LBRC 0.6.4 at Ubuntu 10.04?
[22:53] <tuzlo> I am tryint to install testdisk using the Ubuntu Software center and for the last hour it has been hung up in the applying changes. Ideas on how to get this package installed
[22:53] <cyborg_jt> hello, i have no gui for this server, what do i need to apt-get to install one?
[22:53] <bc81> tuzlo: do you have open synaptic?
[22:53] <Lasse1> konaya_:    Error, could not mount image.  Solution: Try converting the image to ISO or extract the content to a folder from the upper menu "Image Conversion." NOTE: it is NOT possible to mount multi-sector images. For more information, please visit official website: http://www.acetoneteam.org
[22:54] <konaya__> ilessthan3ubuntu, I dunno, really. Haven't had the scenario before. Could probably help you if I was there.
[22:54] <alisalaah> Asus UL50VT, I know I did a command line to install the nVidia drivers since the hdmi didnt work without it and i read about the probs with it, but even with nVidia drivers not working let me grab the chipset model
[22:54] <tuzlo> bc81, just Ubuntu software center, should I use synaptic instead?
[22:54] <konaya__> Lasse1, have you tried mounting it via the command line?
[22:54] <alisalaah> Sysinfo crashes when i open it ffs
[22:54] <bc81> tuzlo: no, just asking because USC will hang if another package manageris open
[22:55] <tuzlo> bc81, no no other one is open
[22:55] <Lasse1> konaya_: do know what i should do?
[22:56] <bc81> tuzlo: maybe it's process is hang?  system >> admin >> system monitor > processes
[22:56] <gsirving> I installed LAMP, but only root has write permissions for /var/wwwI tried sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www
[22:56] <mickster04> gsirving: chown
[22:56] <alisalaah> I have the NVIDIA GeForce G210M with 512mb
[22:56] <Vino> maybe it's because i'm on a smaller amazon instance and it's running out of memory?
[22:56] <ilessthan3ubuntu> im using a g218
[22:57] <brandon420> anyone use Privoxy?
[22:57] <tuzlo> bc81, which process am I looking for?
[22:57] <Slart> bc81: ahh.. found out why it didn't work.. I'm not preserving the modification timestamp when copying files so the files in the DEST-dir have a different timestamp.. that means rsync thinks they are different from the the source and needs to be copied again.. there is a switch --size-only that basically tells rsync to just look at file sizes and not timestamps.. it's working now
[22:57] <trigger> hi, is there a command line program to paste logs, config files, etc ?
[22:57] <erUSUL> !pastebinit
[22:57] <bc81> Lasse1: what iso file, how are you trying to mount it?  try using gmount-iso
[22:57] <trigger> erUSUL: thx
[22:58] <bc81> tuzlo: update manager, synaptic, gnome-terminal etc
[22:58] <michaelxq> anyone knows how to install LBRC 0.6.4 at Ubuntu 10.04?
[22:58] <bc81> Slart: good to know, thanks :)
[22:58] <nillerz> is there a channel for programmers?
[22:58] <Neosano> hello guys, I have problem with Azureus, man says that I have to replace Azureus2.jar file, but where can I find it?
[22:59] <Lasse1> bc81: Enterprise 2007.iso and im trying to mount it with "acetoneISO"
[22:59] <tuzlo> bc81, ok, done, now how do I get this package to install properly?
[22:59] <alisalaah> konaya__, GeForce G210M is what I have any idea on how to get my HDMI working :P
[22:59] <bc81> tuzlo: you can try from a terminal: sudo apt-get install <package>
[23:00] <Vino> okay i think it will fix it if i add some swap
[23:00] <Vino> how do i add some swap?
[23:00] <tuzlo> says another process is using dpkg, but I killed them
[23:00] <Neosano> Vino, you have to resize your partition, try GParted
[23:00] <konaya__> alisalaah, I'm not sure. Have you tried the nVidia Control Panel?
[23:00] <Neosano> Vino, well, it's if there's no free space
[23:00] <Vino> i what
[23:01] <tuzlo> bc81,  says another process is using dpkg, but I killed them
[23:01] <ilessthan3ubuntu> nvidia-xconfig as root
[23:01] <Vino> "free -m" says i only have 17 free megabytes of memory
[23:01] <Lasse1> bc81: have u find of something?
[23:01] <brandon420> anyone use Privoxy? i keep getting a 502 error
[23:01] <bc81> tuzlo: ok, good work :)
[23:01] <Vino> i have to repartition to add swap?
[23:01] <ilessthan3ubuntu> lol.17...
[23:01] <ilessthan3ubuntu> ouch
[23:01] <michaelxq> anyone knows how to install LBRC 0.6.4 at Ubuntu 10.04?
[23:01] <Neosano> Vino, oh, there's a possibility to add a swap file
[23:01] <bc81> Lasse1: no, i'm afraid not.  you try burning it to a cd?
[23:01] <tuzlo> bc81,  cant find anoything using dpkg, but still it wont install
[23:02] <Neosano> Vino, google "ubuntu swap file"
[23:02] <Lasse1> bc81: dont got any cd's
[23:02] <alisalaah> i just installed nvidia-settings and nvtv
[23:02] <Slart> !swap
[23:02] <84XAAABLZ> Lasse1: sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>    .you don't need an outside application to mount an iso. mount can do it
[23:02] <alisalaah> konaya__, and its still not helping
[23:02] <bc81> tuzlo: hmm...i would probably log out/in to be sure
[23:02] <gsirving> Thank you mickster04, that worked.
[23:03] <cyborg_jt> what is the most smallest gui i can install?
[23:03] <Lasse1> 84xaaablz: whats mount point?
[23:03] <Vino> okay faq reading time for me then thank you
[23:03] <ilessthan3ubuntu> Vino, i dont use swap
[23:03] <ilessthan3ubuntu> you can maybe just resize your partition
[23:03] <ilessthan3ubuntu> but best to use swap if you dont have RAM
[23:03] <Vino> i'm on an amazong ec2
[23:03] <bastidraZor> Lasse1: create one.. for it to display on your desktop create it in /media... sudo mkdir /media/iso  ::now your mountpoint would be /media/iso
[23:03] <tuzlo> bc81,  but will logging out and back in killl the process psaux|grep dpkg gives me a runing process trying to install testdisk still
[23:04] <Neosano> ilessthan3ubuntu, what about hibernation -_-
[23:04] <erUSUL> cyborg_jt: a simple window manager like openbox fluxbox or windowmaker
[23:04] <cyborg_jt> thx
[23:04] <ilessthan3ubuntu> Neosano, hmmmm, sacrificed for osx partition? i have too many paritions
[23:04] <bastidraZor> ubottu: tell Neosano about google
[23:05] <bc81> tuzlo: see, you are more advanced than me :)  just suggesting what i would try at this point
[23:05] <Lasse1> bastidrazor: shall i put "/media... sudo mkdir /media/iso" in terminal?
[23:05] <amin> hi how could i find what is the SSH tunnel port in my server
[23:05] <bastidraZor> Lasse1: yes, sudo mkdir /media/iso
[23:05] <ilessthan3ubuntu> ssh port 22
[23:05] <ilessthan3ubuntu> que no?
[23:05] <tuzlo> how the frig do I kill a process that is being run by root?
[23:06] <erUSUL> tuzlo: with sudo kill $PID
[23:06] <tuzlo> tried kill -9 PID#
[23:06] <erUSUL> never use -9 with kill
[23:07] <tuzlo> erUSUL, doesnt work
[23:07] <erUSUL> tuzlo: maybe it is an unkillable process
[23:07] <tuzlo> dpkg
[23:07] <ohsix> tuzlo: is it a zombie? what's the contents of /proc/<pid of undead process>/wchan?
[23:07] <amin> I waant to set ssh tunnel to my server but I do not know to which port my server accept this kind of connection
[23:07] <tuzlo> 14517  0.0  0.8  32384 27848 pts/2    Ds+  15:06   0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 17 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/testdisk_6.11-1_i386.deb
[23:08] <ohsix> tuzlo: it's blocked on disk io
[23:08] <erUSUL> tuzlo: what does this say ? « ps -o command,state PID »
[23:08] <ohsix> tuzlo: look at dmesg, something bad might have happened
[23:09] <erUSUL> tuzlo: yep; ohsix is right
[23:09] <Lasse1> bastidrazor: so for me its: "sudo mount -o loop Enterprise 2007.iso /media/iso"???
[23:09] <amin> I waant to set ssh tunnel to my server but I do not know to which port my server accept this kind of connection
[23:09] <rww> !repeat
[23:10] <bc81> tuzlo: amin ilessthan3ubuntu already said port 22, no?
[23:10] <bc81> tuzlo: ignore that plz
[23:10] <tuzlo> usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 1 D
[23:10] <bastidraZor> Lasse1: no, you will need to use the full path of the iso location and escape the space.. for example if the file is in your downloads folder use ~/downloads/Enterprise\ 2007.iso
[23:11] <ohsix> bastidraZor: default has a big D
[23:11] <amin> bc81: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu4 Protocol mismatch.
[23:11] <amin> tuzlo: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu4 Protocol mismatch.
[23:11] <soraya> Hi i get [errno5] input/output error wile installing on Mac iBook G4
[23:11] <bastidraZor> ohsix: true.. i have a symlink
[23:11] <tuzlo> amin, what?
[23:11] <Lasse1> bastidrazor: can u make the full command-line for me?
[23:12] <Vino> i know this isn't an ubuntu question, but: how does swapoff handle things if memory is in use on the swap?
[23:12] <bastidraZor> Lasse1: where is the located?
[23:12] <Lasse1> bastidrazor: my iso file is in downloads
[23:12] <bastidraZor> Vino: dumps all the swapped stuff to RAM
[23:12] <soraya> This is often due to a faulty Cd/DVD disk or drive-But both are fine
[23:12] <erUSUL> Vino: tells the kernel to read it back
[23:12] <Vino> how does it do that without the applications throwing a fit?
[23:12] <konaya__> Vino, real fun stuff happens, try it ;)
[23:12] <bastidraZor> Lasse1: sudo mount -o loop ~/Downloads/Enterprise\ 2007.iso /media/iso
[23:13] <erUSUL> Vino: the plaication does nt know anything about the tricks the kernel pays with memory
[23:13] <erUSUL> plays*
[23:13] <immy> hi again
[23:13] <immy> where is syslog?
[23:13] <cyborg_jt> how do i install xsever?
[23:13] <Vino> oh this is what memory mapping is, now that i think about it?
[23:13] <cyborg_jt> immy: /var/log
[23:13] <immy> thx
[23:13] <amin> ilessthan3ubuntu:SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu4 Protocol mismatch.
[23:14] <afat> hi I have just installed ubuntu and I only get a cursor on my screen! What should I do?
[23:14] <erUSUL> Vino: an aplication in any modern OS with virtual memory (linux) thniks all the ram is his to take
[23:14] <cyborg_jt> i am trying to run fluxbox, says it cant connect to xserver
[23:14] <cyborg_jt> i am running server version
[23:14] <ohsix> erUSUL: apps on operating systems without think the same :O
[23:15] <Vino> well, maybe not "think" because they actually do have all the ram
[23:15] <erUSUL> ok; ok. bad wording ;P bear with me not native speaker XXDD
[23:15] <ohsix> Vino: if it can't drop the disk caches and other ephemeral memory enough to hold the swap contents when its turned off, turning it off will fail
[23:15] <Vino> interesting. thank you
[23:15] <afat> hi I have just installed ubuntu and I only get a cursor on my screen! What should I do?
[23:16] <afat> I'm new to this....
[23:16] <bc81> afat: first thing i would do is verify the integrity of the media (cd,iso etc)
[23:17] <erUSUL> Vino: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory
[23:17] <Vino> so what are some ways then that I can reduce the amount of memory my server uses?
[23:17] <Vino> erUSUL, yes thank you i'm familiar with it, i just hadn't connected the dots until now :)
[23:17] <bc81> !verify | afat
[23:18] <afat> So, my ISO might be wrong!?
[23:18] <afat> I downloaded it from,
[23:18] <afat> torrentz.com
[23:18] <afat> latest version too!
[23:19] <cyborg_jt> how do i install xsever?
[23:19] <nillerz> very carefully
[23:19] <nillerz> because if you mess up
[23:19] <erUSUL> cyborg_jt: already installed by default
[23:19] <nillerz> you break everything!!! :O
[23:20] <cyborg_jt> fluxbox can not connect to xserver
[23:20] <tuzlo> ohsix, can I pastebin dmesg?
[23:20] <cyborg_jt> sounds like my firewall is blocking things
[23:20] <ilessthan3ubuntu> mmm fluxbox
[23:20] <erUSUL> cyborg_jt: how are you launching it?
[23:20] <LuckySMack_Work> it it feasable to move an ubuntu installation from a HDD to a SSD? The system has only been installed for about a week.Its installed on my primary HDD but i just got a 32gb SSD and want to move the ubuntu install to that new drive. How hard would that be without re-installing the system?
[23:21] <ilessthan3ubuntu> uh reinstall dude
[23:21] <ilessthan3ubuntu> esp if youve only had it for a week
[23:21] <cyborg_jt> just fluxbox, atm running ircII, im in christchurch, no power running old server off batteries
[23:21] <Vino> is it normal for mysql to take 240 megabytes of memory?
[23:21] <erUSUL> LuckySMack_Work: shouldn't be too hard. it all depends on your proficiency with linux i guess
[23:21] <CarlFK> LuckySMack_Work:  http://clonezilla.org/
[23:21] <LuckySMack_Work> yea i still have all the .debs in the cache dir. so i could just copy those over so i dont have to re-download them
[23:22] <erUSUL> LuckySMack_Work: well you only need the debs in case of a reinstall afaics
[23:22] <LuckySMack_Work> im decent with linux but no pro. I was thinking/hoping it might be as simple as booting to a live cd and moving the files and re-installing grub
[23:23] <CarlFK> LuckySMack_Work:  http://clonezilla.org/ <-live cd
[23:23] <gorgonzola_> anyone knows why flash suddenly disappeared from both chrome and firefox?
[23:23] <tuzlo> ohsix, here's the dmesg, I cant see nothing wrong with it. http://pastebin.com/dGkGtZ8s
[23:23] <CarlFK> LuckySMack_Work: and you don't need to mess with grub
[23:23] <LuckySMack_Work> erUSUL, yea but if i totally reinstall the OS i can copy those over to an external and install the os and move them back. so that wont be that bad as i wouldnt have to re-download.
[23:23] <erUSUL> LuckySMack_Work: that should work. i've done it in the past. you have to tweak /etc/fstab to reflect the changes in uuids
[23:24] <LuckySMack_Work> CarlFK, thanks. looking
[23:24] <erUSUL> !aptoncd | LuckySMack_Work
[23:25] <cbf_> evening folkd
[23:25] <cbf_> evening folks*
[23:25] <LuckySMack_Work> yea ive seen and used apton cd before. but its kinda just as easy to move the debs. lol
[23:25] <bc81> hi cbf_
[23:25] <cbf_> have a question regarding ndiswrapper
[23:25] <cbf_> hey bc81. having a couple of problems1
[23:26] <ohsix> tuzlo: cat /proc/14517/wchan
[23:26] <ohsix> love it
[23:27] <cbf_> is anybody familiar with ndiswrapper? i have installed a driver and can't get it working.....
[23:28] <LuckySMack_Work> CarlFK, ah so that will modify grub to reflect that I moved the os?
[23:30] <CarlFK> LuckySMack_Work: moved the os to where?
[23:30] <Reallycool> most of the Fn+F(x) combos don't work on my EeePC, is there a way to map them manually?
[23:31] <LuckySMack_Work> if I use that to move the ubuntu install from the HDD to the newer SSD
[23:32] <craigbass1976> has anyone ever extracted a table from a pdf with pdftk?
[23:33] <eksit> hey all
[23:33] <eksit> anyone who can help me out with a mounting issue?
[23:33] <ruffdog> eksit, please state your issue and we'll see what we can do about it.
[23:33] <Guest53943> got real problems with network im showing windows share network and workgroup my machine is on workgroup and all the rest of my net work is on my network how do i include my macine on my network and get it off workgroup?
[23:34] <eksit> >ruffdog :  im installing Need for speed on my linux machine with wine, i got the cd 1 mounted and now it asks for cd2, how do i properly mount cd2 for it to recognize it ?
[23:35] <Camarata> i setup the nvidia drivers
[23:35] <Camarata> i setup the nvidia drivers; now my laptop won't boot
[23:35] <Camarata> well it boots to terminal
[23:35] <evilsushi> type startx
[23:35] <Camarata> that didnt work
[23:35] <ruffdog> eksit, do you need both CDs?  It seems like you cold remove CD1 and put CD2 in it's place.
[23:35] <Camarata> startx; failed
[23:35] <evilsushi> we need more information than it didn't work.
[23:35] <eksit> the thing is , i got the .iso on my computer
[23:35] <ilessthan3ubuntu> just mount cd2 while the install is asking for cd2
[23:36] <eksit> ive mounted the iso in /media/iso
[23:36] <aykut> hi
[23:36] <eksit> then it asked for cd2
[23:36] <eksit> i mounted it in /media/iso2
[23:36] <eksit> doesnt seem like the instal knows it is there
[23:36] <ilessthan3ubuntu> why didnt you mount it to /media/iso
[23:36] <Camarata> UBUNTU 10.10 -- i did "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings && nvtv"; rebooted my Asus UL50VT with nVidia G210M; and it went to terminal; startx did not work
[23:36] <eksit> i got the .iso on my pc, its not a real CD
[23:37] <ilessthan3ubuntu> Camarata, is your normal boot taking you to tty1 ?
[23:37] <ruffdog> eksit, umount your ISO with CD1 and remount ISO with CD2
[23:37] <aykut> hi
[23:37] <Camarata> ilessthan3ubuntu: unsure
[23:37] <eksit> i tried umount in terminal
[23:37] <eksit> but since the instal is running it wont let me
[23:38] <CarlFK> LuckySMack_Work: it will clone the partition table and IDs and everything, so the nothing will really notice the move.. .execp.. it won't work if your  SSD is smaller than your HD.  (i think_
[23:38] <ilessthan3ubuntu> Camarata, i have nvidia 218 and that happend to me

[23:42] <daniel__> anyone can configure nfs file sharing on ubuntu ?
[23:44] <nillerz> What do you do if your joystick isn't supported by the joystick driver in ubuntu?
[23:45] <nillerz> Does anyone know?
[23:46] <ruffdog> nillerz, you have to be more specific with your question.  What joystick, do you get an error msg? Did you try to google and see if anyone had the same problem you are having and fixed it?
[23:47] <nillerz> Nope, nobody has. I have been at this for a week or so. Googled like nuts.
[23:47] <nillerz> It's the MacAlly iShock II
[23:47] <nickmoeck> nillerz: write a driver for it :) And then, open-source it and hope that you can get it into the ubuntu repos
[23:47] <nillerz> See, I'd love to but no one wants to help. I wouldn't know where to start.
[23:47] <kj6lxu> im using ubuntu 10.10.  when i go to places and click home ubuntu opens my media player. how do i get this to stop ?????
[23:48] <aykut> can anybody help me about my bluetooth dongle ?
[23:48] <antihc3> got a funny one.  I have a latitude E6510.  It has intel video.  When i boot i see the screen flicker and hear the login x sound.    It stays that way until i plugin an external monitor then the screen shows up.   Any suggestions
[23:48] <nickmoeck> nillerz: another option would be to bug the company that makes the joystick
[23:48] <nillerz> input-events from the package input-utils gives me a bunch of cool stuff, but actually getting it recognized as a joystick in the first place is a, I dunno, pregnant dog.
[23:48] <nillerz> they don't even make Windows drivers, I doubt they could be aresed to make Linux ones.
[23:49] <nickmoeck> funny thing, I just googled that model along with "linux" and your post on ubuntuforums came up
[23:49] <madbeaver> :2
[23:49] <nillerz> But I think Ican get it working! I can read the output of the device and it's pretty legible for machine standards
[23:49] <soraya> i need support installing ubuntu on MAC,,can someone reffer me to a page
[23:49] <jnrg> howdy ! I wonder : wha tapplication (if any) can I use to hear my voice as I speak in a mic (wireless mic well detected, the record function works)
[23:50] <soraya> is a  iBook G4
[23:50] <soraya> im gettin an errorno5 diring installatioon
[23:50] <nillerz> So, apparently most joysticks use the same driver for ubuntu
[23:50] <nillerz> it's called, originally enough, "joystick".
[23:50] <andrea> hi
[23:50] <jnrg> I'm on Maverick, I can see the mic as I tap it in the sound pref but it does'nt echo out
[23:51] <nillerz> but MY joystick is being recognized as a generic USB device
[23:51] <nickmoeck> nillerz: you might have some success talking to the authors of that driver. It might just be a matter of you sending them the information about the output of the device
[23:51] <nillerz> NOT, as a joystick.
[23:51] <Guest78276> hi .. i have a problem  with a script on init.d
[23:52] <nillerz> The joystick drier would probably work fine if the joystick was mounting as a joystic
[23:52] <Guest78276> it make mi impossible to reboot and shutdown the pc
[23:52] <nillerz> there is nothing on js0
[23:52] <tetsuo---> Hello, how safe is it, stability wise, to use the latest kernel instead of the older one thats installed/updated by default ?
[23:52] <nickmoeck> nillerz: the joystick driver is what determines whether it's displayed as a joystick or something else. if the joystick driver doesnt recognize the device, its not going to say its a joystick
[23:53] <nickmoeck> and hence, js0 won't be created
[23:53] <kj6lxu>  when i go to places and click home ubuntu opens my media player. how do i get this to stop ?????
[23:53] <nillerz> I'm assuming Joystick is an open-source program, right?
[23:54] <Guest78276> the script in a sh script with a infinite loop that check some parametres every 10 s
[23:54] <nickmoeck> nillerz: yes, joystick is open source
[23:54] <konaya__> kj6lxu, when did this start?
[23:54] <konaya__> Also, which media player?
[23:54] <nillerz> I'm going to see if I can read the source, and, even though it will probably be in a foreign language to me (I do php mostly) I could attempt to figure it out
[23:54] <aykut> HEELP !! my bluetooth is killing me !!1!1
[23:54] <nillerz> Here I go again on my own!
[23:54] <imanc> what does *~ mean ?
[23:54] <nickmoeck> nillerz: it's a great way to learn a new language :)
[23:55] <Nevyn1> aykut have you tried ubuntu netbook remix?
[23:55] <konaya__> aykut, stay calm, try to reach the rf kill switch, and dial 911.
[23:55] <konaya__> :P
[23:55] <soraya> does anyone knows a page for linux installation on MAC iBook G4
[23:55] <nillerz> a new language of which I will promptly forget. :c
[23:55] <Guest78276> how i can do exit the loop when i rebbot the oc?
[23:55] <nickmoeck> nillerz: you can grab the source of the driver by running "apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-joystick"
[23:55] <kj6lxu> konaya_: last week but i have had 10.10 installed on this system for 2months
[23:55] <geekahedron_> aykut: find a dentist?
[23:56] <nillerz> where would it download it to?
[23:56] <aykut> :D:D
[23:56] <konaya> kj6lxu, weird. Does it happen when you click on other folders in Places or just the Home folder?
[23:56] <nickmoeck> nillerz: I assume whatever directory you're in, or /var/cache/apt or something like that
[23:56] <Nevyn1> aykut, seriously, what kindof Bluetooth? internal or external
[23:56] <digirak> hi folks I seem to be having problems with my linker
[23:56] <aykut> Nevyn1: external
[23:56] <digirak> any idea what I could do?
[23:56] <kj6lxu> konaya: all folders exept network
[23:56] <aykut> Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:2035 Broadcom Corp. BCM2035 Bluetooth
[23:57] <voidmage> I copied my /var directory to a new drive and the permissions are all kinds of borked. everything's owned by root:root instead of the system users that need it. is there an easy way to fix this?
[23:57] <aykut> its damned
[23:57] <nillerz> I just downloaded it the old-fashioned way from some college-kids site.
[23:57] <konaya> kj6lxu, also, which media player is it?
[23:57] <ccc> hi boy, i have a problem with my touchpad, after an upgrade it not work
[23:57] <mylisto> hey everyone
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> ccc: what make and model laptop?
[23:58] <nickmoeck> nillerz: you're better off downloading it from the Ubuntu repos, in case there are any changes from the version you downloaded that are specific to ubuntu
[23:58] <Nevyn1> aykut, okay, externals are pretty much all covered with the netbook remix package. Just grab it, install, and you find that it works well. Have not met a device yet which  does not support it.
[23:58] <ccc> ActionParsnip, asus av6
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> ccc: why didn't you add that to your first question, it's pretty important wouldn't you say?
[23:58] <kj6lxu> konaya: mplayer but when i uninstall it totiom opens
[23:58] <mylisto> I just updated a bunch of packages via the update manager - When I started firefox I got the message about updating flash player, yada yada - Now flash videos dont work....
[23:58] <mylisto> What can I do?
[23:58] <aykut> hmm netbook remix
[23:59] <aykut> ok i try
[23:59] <nillerz> I don't see how it matters much, it's only going to be for my particular controller anyway, I'll just share what I did and they can put it into the main version or whatever when they see fit.
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> ccc: do you mean an asus v6?
[23:59] <Nevyn1> aykut, have it running on my 24 inch desktop, and it does etremely well. even the lil missus is happy with it.
[23:59] <digirak> ActionParsnip: could you help me with my linker
[23:59] <ccc> nono, aA6000
