[00:00] <Guest92847> (#GH::E510M1Tgewt) hello?
[00:00] <rww> Guest92847: Microsoft Comic Chat is irritating and not allowed in this channel. Change your client now, please.
[00:00] <fadax> i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ?
[00:00] <andornaut>  /quit
[00:01] <Guest92847> (#G010E810M1Tgewt) but this is the best irc client ever
[00:01] <Guest92847> (#G610E>10M1Tgewt) suggestions for a new one?
[00:01] <rww> Guest92847: xchat, irssi, mIRC, http://webchat.freenode.net/ ...
[00:02] <pw-toxic> logicalor, mysqldump tells me, that i have no access... however im wondering how mysql gets the login data
[00:02] <nillerz> bitchx
[00:02] <rww> !bitchx
[00:02] <dashx> Hi guys. Question. If I hvae 8 gb of memory is it safe to remove the swap partition?
[00:02] <rww> dashx: yes
[00:02] <dashx> rww: Anything special I have to do, or can I just remove it with gparted?
[00:02] <thunwind> I'm having trouble with lucid, I've got tor ppa installed and it's failing on apt-get update with BADSIG.  However, the key is valid and the repo can be manually validated.  I also checked apt-key has a valid key.  Any advice?
[00:02] <rww> dashx: disable it with swapoff first
[00:02] <dashx> rww: ty.
[00:03] <somethinginteres> I'm looking for away to highlight text in a PDF (like with a digital yellow highlighter). Any apps that can do this?
[00:03] <Guest92847> (#G=10E110M1Trww) try microsoft notepad
[00:03] <rww> Guest92847: /join #ubuntu-ops when you've found a better client.
[00:04] <logicalor> pw-toxic, you need to use mysqldump -u -p[yourpassword] [yourdatabase] > [yourfilename]
[00:04] <logicalor> er
[00:04] <pw-toxic> ah ok thx
[00:04] <logicalor> skip the -u
[00:04] <logicalor> or use -u [username]
[00:05] <chaitresh> hi, need help registering my irc nick
[00:05] <rww> chaitresh: /join #freenode for nick registration help
[00:05] <chaitresh> can someone help or point me to right room?
[00:05] <chaitresh> thanks!
[00:05] <musicpiff> which room can I discuss "torrent" clients for linux?
[00:06] <gmachine_24> ------> pointing to correct room
[00:06] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, what do you want to know
[00:06] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: for me its on the other side :D
[00:06] <Ben65> musicpiff: i use utorrent on ubuntu
[00:06] <gmachine_24> ;)
[00:06] <musicpiff> no its just that I dont wanna be off topic
[00:06] <Jasonn> musicpiff: I would use transmission,
[00:06] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, I use rtorrent. CLI. sleek and easy
[00:06] <musicpiff> thats why if there is a special room for this.. tell me
[00:06] <logicalor> utorrent / deluge
[00:07] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, we are telling you
[00:07] <logicalor> or rtorrent and a web gui
[00:07] <Ben65> oh yeah deluge is pretty cool
[00:07] <gmachine_24> you've had 3 suggestions
[00:07] <gmachine_24> maybe 4
[00:07] <gmachine_24> seriously rtorrent is the bomb
[00:07] <logicalor> transmission isn't very customisable
[00:07] <logicalor> rtorrent is awesome
[00:07] <Ben65> rtorrent was slow for me
[00:07] <Ben65> dunno if that's improved since i tried it last
[00:08] <musicpiff> Do the torrent clients have a built in encryption feature for downloading music?
[00:08] <gmachine_24> Ben65, I don't think that was the program.......... but I could be wrong
[00:08] <Ben65> utorrent does, i think deluge does, not sure about that though
[00:08] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, if you are asking how to break a copyright law, no one will help you
[00:08] <Ben65> whoops
[00:08] <gmachine_24> haha
[00:08] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: jumping to comclusions are we?
[00:08] <gmachine_24> mujsicpiff, I said "if"
[00:09] <musicpiff> I asked if there is an encryption feature :)
[00:09] <gmachine_24> er, musicpiff
[00:09] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, what do you want to encrypt? the download? it seems the source does that............................
[00:09] <Dash_> Halloo all!
[00:09] <Krycek> hi
[00:09] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, unless you go through a site that attempts to hide the transmission
[00:09] <Ben65> gmachine_24: i think he means the protocol and stuff, some mean ISPs tend to block all torrenting
[00:10] <musicpiff> ya
[00:10] <musicpiff> well I just wanna be safe
[00:10] <gmachine_24> Ben65, yeah. I have one of them. Sort of.
[00:10] <gmachine_24> wear a condom
[00:10] <gmachine_24> My ISP uses firewall software
[00:11] <gmachine_24> to redirect you from bittorrent sites that contain copyrighted material
[00:11] <musicpiff> how do they know its a torrent and not a regular file
[00:11] <Nisstyre> gmachine_24, ssh tunnels and VPNs are remarkable at getting around firewalls
[00:11] <gmachine_24> Nisstyre, yes, true.
[00:11] <musicpiff> Nisstyre: dont vpn's make you even more unsecure?
[00:11] <logicalor> seedbox + vpn = minimal problems
[00:12] <Nisstyre> musicpiff, uh no
[00:12] <Nisstyre> the opposite
[00:12] <Ben65> set up ssh on a server on port 80, and you can't get blocked (pretty much)
[00:12] <musicpiff> how?
[00:12] <gmachine_24> theproblem is, I don't trust seed boxes
[00:12] <Nisstyre> musicpiff, by encrypting all traffic by default
[00:12] <jiangbin> nimenhao
[00:12] <gmachine_24> actually I don't trust anyone
[00:12] <musicpiff> because your relying on the opposite server to not rat you out
[00:12] <Mahoro> please
[00:12] <Nisstyre> musicpiff, you're relying on your isp to not "rat you out"
[00:12] <musicpiff> ya but a vpn
[00:12] <logicalor> just remember gmachine_24, wearing a tin foil hat actually increases the ability of 'the man' to read your brainwaves
[00:12] <musicpiff> is connecting to another server through your isp
[00:13] <Ben65> musicpiff: maybe you should consider getting music legally?
[00:13] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use??
[00:13] <gmachine_24> logicalor, I stopped making tin foil hat jokes when dick cheney became vp ;)
[00:13] <musicpiff> im not talking about downloading anything
[00:13] <logicalor> ^_^
[00:13] <musicpiff> im just getting around how it works
[00:13] <musicpiff> I do downloading on windows
[00:13] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?
[00:14] <Nisstyre> also Ben65, 443 is the best port
[00:14] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?
[00:14] <Nisstyre> because it becomes indistinguishable from ssl traffic
[00:14] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, they catch you when the RIAA or MPAA signs up users to track the ISP addresses of the seeders/leechers
[00:14] <Jasonn> !ot | Pretty_much_everyone
[00:14] <Ben65> Nisstyre: interesting
[00:14] <Nisstyre> sorry for OT
[00:14] <Jasonn> lol
[00:14] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?
[00:14] <Jasonn> !guidelines
[00:14] <Mahoro> pleas
[00:14] <Mahoro> please
[00:15] <Ben65> Mahoro: repeating doesn't help - maybe try asking what you want in a manner people can understand easier?
[00:15] <gmachine_24> here's something to keep in mind: use a rotating set of routers and you will be getting a new IP address every few days. It will also keep your neighbors away and just in general drive people crazy
[00:15] <pw-toxic> logicalor, this was what i was looking for - thanks
[00:15] <Jasonn> Mahoro: you mean use terminal to see the running processes?
[00:15] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: sign up users?
[00:15] <logicalor> yw
[00:15] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: which users
[00:15] <Mahoro> yes
[00:15] <Mahoro> yes
[00:15] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: hahah,
[00:15] <Mahoro> yes
[00:15] <FloodBot3> Mahoro: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:15] <pw-toxic> logicalor, now i have to fight with crontabs... can you tell me where my crontab file is created after i have don "crontab -e"? i want to edit my crontab with gedit
[00:15] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, seeders and leechers
[00:16] <gmachine_24> i.e. people uploading and downloading...........
[00:16] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: so your saying they themselve's sign up seeders and leechers to track the isp of the seeders?
[00:16] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, yes
[00:16] <Jasonn> musicpiff: yes, but mostly only happens on public sites
[00:16] <gmachine_24> or really to track the seekers
[00:16] <greppy> pw-toxic: set your EDITOR and/or VISUAL environment variables and you can use gedit with crontab -e
[00:16] <Jasonn> i live in Canada, so not a problem for me
[00:17] <Dash_> Still cannot get ipw2200 to work after the last update.  A few pointers?
[00:17] <BlackDragonTechy> I'm having a problem with screen standby (monitor sleep) I was wondering if anyone could help. The screen saver in gnome currently turns on but the monitor itself never "falls asleep" it just keeps playing the screensaver. Any ideas would be great, thanks in advance.
[00:17] <Jasonn> they can see your IP addr, and then report you to the ISP
[00:17] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, we hate Canadians... cuz $1C = $1.03US
[00:17] <musicpiff> Jasonn: what if you go through a proxy
[00:17] <pw-toxic> greppy, why not use gedit /etc/...path_to_crontab_file ?
[00:17] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?
[00:17] <Mahoro> someone know?
[00:17] <greppy> pw-toxic: because you can't edit them as a normal user.
[00:17] <Mahoro> command
[00:17] <Jasonn> musicpiff: does the torrent go through the proxy, or just the access to the website
[00:17] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, proxies are not very safe
[00:18] <tyatpi_> Mahoro:  ps -ef maybe?
[00:18] <logicalor> pw-toxic i'm not sure - i have always used crontab
[00:18] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: actually, im not very fond of canadians,
[00:18] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: im from Peru, forced to come hgere
[00:18] <pw-toxic> greppy, im root ;) so i dont care about this
[00:18] <greppy> pw-toxic: also I think crontab actually does some basic syntax checking so you don't hose stuff up.
[00:18] <tyatpi_> greppy: it does
[00:18] <gmachine_24> Mahoro, stop asking the same question all the time
[00:18] <pw-toxic> greppy, ok then i think i will just work with nano
[00:18] <musicpiff> you cant download torrents through a proxy?
[00:18] <greppy> pw-toxic: then you can figure it out, the accepted way is to set your EDITOR and/or VISUAL env variables in your shell.
[00:18] <Mahoro> zorry
[00:18] <Mahoro> i am very new in this
[00:19] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, find someone from Anonymous and ask them
[00:19] <Mahoro> i configure LDAP
[00:19] <Mahoro> and
[00:19] <Jasonn> Mahoro: you mean the command to see the running processes?
[00:19] <musicpiff> whats anonomous
[00:19] <pw-toxic> greppy, no i wont do thise, because i want a minimum of configuration for my server
[00:19] <musicpiff> that a room'?"
[00:19] <logicalor> i think he's after services, not just all processes
[00:19] <Mahoro> noone know ldap araun my university an anywhere
[00:19] <Mahoro> araund
[00:19] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, google anonymous and hackers
[00:19] <Mahoro> yes
[00:19] <Krycek> XD
[00:19] <Mahoro> es fine
[00:20] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, I was just kidding
[00:20] <logicalor> Mahoro, maybe service --status-all?
[00:20] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, you've had that famous tea from Peru?
[00:20] <pw-toxic> greppy, when im right here.. can you maybe tell me how i could do backups of my system? For the scenario my system hard drive crashes, i want to restore my fileserver on a new hard drive
[00:20] <Jasonn> Mahoro: if you are not comfortable speaking in english, we have ubuntu chatrooms in most languages
[00:20] <musicpiff> oh ya, anther interesting questions I had
[00:20] <gmachine_24> top
[00:20] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: Yes, and i know, but i dont like canadians, they are mean
[00:20] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, how are they mean
[00:20] <Jasonn> Mahoro: and yes, you can just type: top
[00:21] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: have you been here?
[00:21] <musicpiff> Lets say your in a hotspot with like 50 other people using the network and you download music and just run
[00:21] <musicpiff> how do they know its you
[00:21] <musicpiff> if your on a laptop
[00:21] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, Canada? of course. my mom was from Canada and I have relatives there still
[00:21] <Jasonn> musicpiff: they could track your mac address, but they probably wouldnt go so far
[00:21] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, do you mean if you're on a laptop at Starbucks?
[00:21] <iceroot> musicpiff: ip-adress (which is set thourh dhcp which is using MAC)
[00:21] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: yes
[00:22] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, see, I knew it.
[00:22] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: i mean particularily from Toronto, people that live/drive in the city are extemely rude
[00:22] <musicpiff> iceroot: still how would they track you
[00:22] <musicpiff> if you never connect to the internet again
[00:22] <logicalor> if you are after a list of running / installed / not installed services you can also use service --status-all.  running services have a + before them, non-running services have a - before them, non-installed services have a ? before them
[00:22] <BlackDragonTechy> I'm from Ottawa, Canada.
[00:22] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, they will bust the door down, screaming "I want a Venti Americano" and dump some flash bangs around the cafe and the next thing you know you'll be in jail
[00:22] <iceroot> musicpiff: this is ubuntu support, so there is no reason ti discuss how you can use an open wlan to download mp3s
[00:22] <Jasonn> BlackDragonTechy: im from Toronto
[00:23] <fadax> i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ?
[00:23] <nit-wit> hows it going eh
[00:23] <david234> I am compiling a program from sources, how can I get from "make install" to a .deb ?
[00:23] <Mahoro> wich chatrooms is in spanish
[00:23] <Mahoro> and
[00:23] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: dont scare him, they wont go through all that trouble, and they wont het there before you leave.
[00:23] <Mahoro> ldap?
[00:24] <Jasonn> Mahoro: hablas espanolo?
[00:24] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, sssssssssssh

[00:25] <Jasonn> LOL sorry for spam
[00:25] <csree_> can someone point me to get help with network connection issues (specifically, my internet connection drops after a while)
[00:25] <gmachine_24> Ok, other than using the usual suspects - dimming the screen, spinning down hard drives, shutting off the screen after a couple minutes - is there some way to reduce to amount of power I use on my laptop running on its battery?
[00:25] <Mahoro> thank you
[00:25] <Mahoro> causita
[00:25] <Jasonn> !wifi | csree_
[00:26] <Jasonn> Mahoro: adios :)
[00:26] <csree_> thanks!
[00:26] <Mahoro> bye
[00:26] <Jasonn> chau
[00:26] <theperfecttaco> in 11.04 is there any way to customize the applications launcher on the sidebar?
[00:27] <iflema> !natty
[00:27] <blackswan> is there an ubuntu equivalent of "yum whatprovides"?
[00:27] <greppy> !backup | pw-toxic
[00:27] <Logan_> !equivalents | blackswan
[00:27] <fadax> i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ?
[00:27] <Flannel> blackswan: Does that tell you what package provided a file (already installed) or what package proves a file (not installed)?
[00:27] <pw-toxic> greppy, thx
[00:28] <Flannel> Logan_: Not quite the right tack there.
[00:28] <Logan_> Flannel: :P
[00:28] <Flannel> blackswan: That "proves" should be "provides"
[00:28] <csree_> !wifi
[00:29] <musicpiff> is sattelite connections faster than LAN?
[00:29] <lauren_> I have many questions regarding this os, making transistion from mac
[00:29] <Jasonn> musicpiff: no
[00:29] <musicpiff> slower?
[00:29] <blackswan> hmm. i don't remember, actually. i want to know what packages provide a particular virtual package.
[00:30] <Jasonn> Lauren_: such as what?
[00:31] <lauren_> I am in university and many of the students use this os, so I'm trying to get started.  for starters I use microsoft one note for a task list, is there something similar here, is there evernote or something like it.
[00:31] <lauren_> but i don't like the interface of evernote
[00:31] <Jasonn> Lauren_: I am sorry for being such a stickler, but when you talk to people, can you please include their nicks in the message
[00:32] <Jasonn> lauren_: what is one note?
[00:32] <greppy> Jasonn: an MS office product similar to evernote.
[00:32] <Jasonn> brb
[00:32] <lauren_> Jasonn, I am sry  microsoft one note is a program that keeps list of txt, pics, etc.  like a spiral but digital
[00:33] <DictatorZero> Hey, I was wondering if there was anyone one that can perhaps provide some advice/insite to a noob?
[00:33] <DrGrov> Evening
[00:33] <DrGrov> What is the issue with Java on the latest Firefox on Ubuntu 10.04?
[00:33] <pw-toxic> logicalor, everything works - thanks
[00:34] <DrGrov> It has really messed up my Java. Can not even get into my bank
[00:34] <lauren_> is this bettter
[00:34] <logicalor> no worries
[00:34] <Jasonn> lauren_: Im sure theres something like it, just dont know its name off the top of my head, though switching to ubuntu will be, undoutedly the best thing you will ever do
[00:34] <DictatorZero> I'm trying to set up ubuntu server for a web server and I need some advice on what software packages need to be installed
[00:35] <csree_> Is there a way to filter based on nick name so I can tell if someone responded to me? (using xchat)
[00:35] <LadyNiko1> greetings
[00:35] <Logan_> !server | DictatorZero
[00:35] <Logan_> !java | DrGrov
[00:35] <rww> DictatorZero: apache2 is the usual package for web serving
[00:35] <LadyNikon> Why is 32bit recommended over 64 bit?
[00:35] <Jasonn> LadyNikon: compatability
[00:35] <DrGrov> Logan_: I have Java installed already. Not ever been an issue until now with the latest Firefox 3.6.14.
[00:35] <rww> LadyNikon: because almost all consumer computers run 32bit, and only some run 64bit
[00:35] <Logan_> DrGrov: that's not the latest version of Firefox - it's 3.6.15
[00:36] <lauren_> jasonn:  How about using Rsync, is there directions online to help me learn
[00:36] <iflema> csree_: /lastlog <nick>
[00:36] <DrGrov> Logan_: Well something it managed to screw up good. Last night had no issues at all. It is at least my latest version that I can get for Ubuntu 10.04.
[00:36] <Jasonn> lauren_: Ubuntu, and the *buntu family are community run, so there will always be help online
[00:36] <skycrazy> any one help with metasploit?
[00:37] <musicpiff> if you switch to debian, is it a really bog chage?
[00:37] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: i would go to their channel for help
[00:37] <lauren_> Jasonn:  Can you direct me to a site?
[00:37] <skycrazy> can't find can you direct please
[00:37] <csree_> iflema: thanks, does that auto update in the future?
[00:37] <blackswan> Can't load '/home/hermit/work/stonesoup/i386/preprocessing/swig/SPICE.so' for module SPICE: libjava.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Operation not permitted at /home/hermit/localperl32/lib/5.12.3/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 200.
[00:37] <Jasonn> lauren_: http://everythinglinux.org/rsync/
[00:37] <DrGrov> Well, never mind about this
[00:38] <Flannel> blackswan: You can find stuff with `apt-cache search [virtual]`, the virtual packages can be found under the "Provides" field for the packages returned in the above.
[00:38] <DrGrov> Just switch browser might help
[00:38] <Jasonn> lauren_: almost all ubuntu docs can be found with a simple google search
[00:38] <Flannel> blackswan: It's not ideal, but I'm not sure what the format for the regexp search is.
[00:38] <blackswan> this is the error i get with my hand-compiled perl 5.12; the stock perl doesn't have this problem
[00:38] <crlcan81> \
[00:38] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: hold on lemme look
[00:38] <Djpenguin> I'm in the middle of writing a little script and I was wondering (OS specific) how I could open up a second shell (using xterm) but send it to the background so that my input would still be directed to the original window. The way I have it now is functional, but not optimal.
[00:38] <lauren_> Jasonn:  Have you ever installed Ubuntu on a macbook?
[00:38] <skycrazy> thankyou
[00:38] <blackswan> any ideas what I change to allow perl to load java even though it wants an executable stack?
[00:39] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: have you tried their user guide?
[00:39] <blackswan> flannel: tx
[00:39] <Jasonn> lauren_: i personally dislike macs, but am sure it will work
[00:39] <skycrazy> sure have my eyes are nearly bleeding
[00:39] <Jasonn> lauren_: I have seen someone install it on a mac, definitely
[00:39] <lauren_> Jasonn:  I like this os I think better than mac, the only thing disheartning is it is windows based rather than applications based so I can't hide a single app.  Is there a hide function?
[00:39] <skycrazy> problem with connecting to postgres database
[00:39] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: they have a wiki and a blog
[00:39] <Dash_> Jasonn: Possible to direct me to someone that might assist with a slightly broke system after a recent update?  I have done a pastebin already.  Juuuust need a few steps shown me. (Dang busy in here.)
[00:40] <iflema> csree_: your name should be highlited in text with an audio prompt, if not by default itll be inthe settings.... it should hilight your nick at least
[00:40] <skycrazy> post gres channel?
[00:40] <crlcan81> Anyone else here heard about the 'yes they are, no they aren't' over the Linux native Steam client possibility?
[00:40] <rww> crlcan81: that's offtopic here, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:40] <the_seraphim> hello. im having very low sound on my system. i touched the volume icon and chose preferences, setup my sound card to the type in the drop down and the volume cut by 80% i cant seem to find a set up that returns the old volume. i tried to check alsamixer but got command not found, its installed with alsa-utils so im lost
[00:40] <pw-toxic> !cloning
[00:40] <lauren_> Jasonn:  May I ask why you don't like mac?
[00:40] <skycrazy> been reading for days, last resort was to find some one in the know, get no response from forums
[00:40] <Jasonn> Dash_: Really dont know mate, a google search may help you find what you are looking for
[00:41] <the_seraphim> crlcan81: steam has been saying that for like 3 years... unlikely it will happen
[00:41] <the_seraphim> crlcan81: works fine under wine anyway
[00:41] <Djpenguin> Jasonn: There's also macbuntu
[00:41] <pw-toxic> greppy, is there a possibility to copy a partition?
[00:41] <iflema> csree_: oh, and no... it does not
[00:41] <Jasonn>  lauren_: Many reasons, eg, User interface, compatability, support, look
[00:41] <DrGrov> Logan_: How long do you think it will take until 3.6.15 is released for 10.04?
[00:41] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: http://www.metasploit.com/framework/support/
[00:41] <Jasonn> Djpenguin: yeah, but why install that when you can get the real thing?
[00:41] <lauren_> Jasonn:  Is there a hide feature in Ubuntu?  similar to mac
[00:41] <Dash_> Jasonn:  Been doing that all day, thanks.  :/  Will go back.
[00:41] <pw-toxic> greppy, i simply want to restore a small system partition of my system if the hard drive crashes, so i can restore everything with copying one partition
[00:42] <DrGrov> Logan_: Usually how long does it take from source into a Ubuntu package?
[00:42] <pw-toxic> greppy, the ubuntu help pages focusses on data backups
[00:42] <greppy> pw-toxic: you can use dd to copy a partition.
[00:42] <Jasonn> Dash_: Sorry i cant help you mate,
[00:42] <Dash_> Jasonn:  I appreciate it anyway.  Truly. ;)
[00:42] <Jasonn> lauren_: depends on the prog, but there is 4 different desktops you can choose from
[00:42] <pw-toxic> greppy, do you think it is a good idea to backup the system partition using dd?
[00:43] <Jasonn> Dash_: try downgrading with the alternate CD
[00:43] <Djpenguin> Jasonn:  You were looking to get off of mac, no? You'd install that because you have the functionality of linux with a pretty interface that would be more familiar to an ex-mac user
[00:43] <lauren_> Looking for Program similar to Microsoft One Note any ideas?
[00:44] <greppy> pw-toxic: you can.  I normally worry more about actual data to backup, since I can restore packages rather easily.
[00:44] <greppy> pw-toxic: I use rsync and rsnapshot to backup /etc for example.
[00:44] <Jasonn> Djpenguin: HAHA, why would i get a mac? I was actually suggesting ubuntu to an ex-mac user, but i really wouldnt mind the interface change as the mac interface is horrd anyways
[00:44] <pw-toxic> greppy, the problem is that there is so much configuration im doing..
[00:45] <csree_> iflema: no worries, I'm new to irc, and will either get used to this or find a client that will work best for me
[00:45] <Jasonn> lauren_: you can change between the desktops to see what you were looking at
[00:45] <Jasonn> BRB
[00:45] <pw-toxic> greppy, my system hard drive crashed and now i have to set up ubuntu from scratch.. dhcp   NAT   apache2 mysql  samba.. everythign
[00:45] <greppy> pw-toxic: almost all of which is stored in /etc
[00:45] <lauren_> Jasonn:  I will try to use that and see what works best for me
[00:45] <tenten> hello
[00:45] <pw-toxic> greppy, almost? what exactly do you mean with almost all ;)
[00:45] <logicalor> one of the guys at work was investigating unison for regular backups - looks interesting but i haven't played too much with it yet
[00:46] <tenten> so, how do i get from one thousand to zero?
[00:46] <tenten> i thought su is root
[00:46] <greppy> pw-toxic: user crontabs are in /var/spool
[00:46] <greppy> pw-toxic: for example
[00:46] <rww> !sudo | tenten
[00:46] <itaylor57> lauren http://basket.kde.org/
[00:46] <Jasonn> lauren_: you can also get a mac-looking doc for your ubuntu PC
[00:46] <adross> I have a dvd that is region encoded. I would like to make a copy, removing or changing the region encoding. is there a package that I could use for this?
[00:47] <tenten> thanks
[00:47] <lauren_> Jasonn:  How?
[00:47] <Jasonn> adross: why not just rip the DVD, and then just burn it on another with another encoding?
[00:47] <anass> Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it?
[00:47] <tenten> i looked at su and it was 1000 when it should be 0
[00:47] <pw-toxic> greppy, so thats bad just to restore a server... im still not sure what backup solution i should use
[00:47] <tenten> or did it return my normal priv
[00:47] <Jasonn> lauren_: there is a package you can install for that
[00:47] <lauren_> itaylor57:  I don't like the interface of evernote and ones I've tried in past, is this similar to onenote?
[00:48] <t-rask> I ran Brasero, it ran into a problem burning the CD I wanted to, so I shut the program down normally, but now when I try to re-open it, it won't open. From terminal it gives "Segmentation fault" as the error, any suggestions?
[00:48] <lauren_> Jasonn:  I know I keep asking a lot, but can you direct me to that as well
[00:48] <itaylor57> lauren open the link and take a look
[00:48] <Jasonn> t-rask: reinstall it
[00:48] <Jasonn> What is the mac-looking doc for ubuntu?
[00:48] <Jasonn> ^important
[00:49] <t-rask> Jasonn, that seems a little extreme if it was just working?
[00:49] <anass> Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it?
[00:49] <t-rask> I mean, it's no big deal, I'm doing that right now, but I would assume there's something more exact to try, heh.
[00:49] <Jasonn> t-rask just reinstall the program if a segment of it is missing, thats all i can think of
[00:49] <anass> Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it?
[00:50] <Jasonn> lauren_: i really dont know the name off the top of my head, but its really easy to install too, i can give you my email address if you need anything else after :)
[00:50] <lauren_> I am interested in learning how to use terminal more efficiently, and to create aliases for things such as compress and decompress, any Ideas were to start?
[00:50] <Black> !terminal
[00:50] <pw-toxic> greppy, just tell me if I annoy you.. im just reading through dd ... if i do dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sb1 ... can i now boot form /deb/sb1 if i plug it in as a primary drive?
[00:50] <t-rask> Jasonn, after a purge and an install, still getting "Segmentation fault"
[00:50] <Black> Hey guys
[00:50] <greppy> pw-toxic: probably
[00:50] <Jasonn> t-rask: did you also delete all of the prog files?
[00:50] <StuckMojo> hi, i've booted the maverick live cd to copy my root volumn onto my new SSD. problem is, both volumes are lvm2. i've installed lvm2 and they show up in lvdisplay, but not in /dev/mapper. any ideas?
[00:51] <BlackSaviour> I need help.
[00:51] <lauren_> Jasonn, kk
[00:51] <StuckMojo> what module i need to modprobe, or what?
[00:51] <pw-toxic> greppy, so I think i do it like this.. what do you think?
[00:51] <Jasonn> !ask | BlackSaviour
[00:51] <Jasonn> lauren_: check PM
[00:51] <pw-toxic> greppy, or can i just copy the result to a file and restore from that file?
[00:51] <greppy> pw-toxic: do it, give it a shot and see what happens. make sure and test it.
[00:51] <lauren_> Jasonn:  what does PM mean?
[00:51] <BlackSaviour> I went from Linux mint to Ubuntu, And when i did, i took a package list off mint, then when i got to ubuntu, i got its package list, i used a script to take out all the entires they had in common... kay?
[00:52] <pw-toxic> greppy, ok thx i'll try this one
[00:52] <anass> lauren_: it's Private Message
[00:52] <BlackSaviour> Then i went thrugh it manually, removed mintInstall etc
[00:52] <BlackSaviour> Things i didnt need
[00:52] <StuckMojo> they're showing up in lvdisplay, but when i try to mount one i get: mount: special device /dev/vg0/ubuntu64 does not exist
[00:52] <mickster04> BlackSaviour: one line please
[00:52] <BlackSaviour> Then i used a command to install everything on the list.
[00:52] <lauren_> anass:  how do I envoke a private message
[00:52] <StuckMojo> i've run pvscan, vgscan, and lvscan, and it sees them, so apparently i just need to make the device files?
[00:53] <BlackSaviour> Now when i boot ubuntu, grub and everythin else calls it "Linux Mint 10 Fluxbox" ... But IT IS UBUNTU 10.10...
[00:53] <Blue1> !touchpad
[00:53] <anass> lauren_: just double click on the user that you want to send a PM to him
[00:53] <BlackSaviour> I got this boot script off the Ubuntu forums, they couldnted help me at all, but ill paste bin what it told me.
[00:53] <BlackSaviour> !pastebin
[00:53] <mickster04> BlackSaviour: doesn't sound like a problem to me?
[00:54] <lauren_> Anass:  where do I double click at?
[00:54] <BlackSaviour> for someone like me who needs perfection, grub , and the boot script... and everything else... telling me im running somthing im not
[00:54] <BlackSaviour> is majorly ticking me of.
[00:54] <DaGeek247> lauren_ just type in '/msg nick text-to-say'
[00:55] <Pat> I'm having problems booting my ubuntu
[00:55] <t-rask> Jasonn, yes, apparently after I removed all config files with it, it seems to work. Huh. Thanks.
[00:55] <mickster04> BlackSaviour: maybe paste bining a list of the packages u isntalled might also be useful?
[00:55] <mickster04> !details | pat
[00:55] <Jasonn> t-rask: no problem :)
[00:55] <Pat> Is there anyway to show the error message?
[00:55] <BlackSaviour> Alright , ill paste that and the boot script
[00:55] <BlackSaviour> gimme a sec
[00:55] <BlackSaviour> and i may have uninstalled it when i tried to fix it.
[00:56] <Pat> When I'm booting I get an error message
[00:56] <mickster04> Pat: yeah, just type it here
[00:56] <Pat> Saying /devices/pci1000
[00:56] <Pat> something along those lines
[00:56] <fadax> i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ?
[00:56] <Pat> And it won't let it boot
[00:56] <StuckMojo> aha! just need to modprobe dm_mod
[00:56] <tenten> sudo shutdown -r 1
[00:56] <TajHQ> question... can anyone help me figure out how to keep my computer from booting me off of irc/muds/etc when theres zero activity (ie I'm idle an so is the channel)
[00:56] <rww> BlackSaviour: ... so you installed Linux Mint, then changed the package list to match Ubuntu's, and your contention is that this makes it Ubuntu and the grub etc. are wrong?
[00:56] <tenten> whoops
[00:57] <gmachine_24> ok.......... no help on cutting back on power usage while on battery power, other than the easy options on the GUI power preferences
[00:57] <lauren_> Has anyone used free services like DropBox for syncing filing systems and backing them up?
[00:57] <gmachine_24> lauren, just rsync
[00:57] <Jasonn> lauren_: yes, works fine, but if you have a bad connection, dont try it
[00:57] <tenten> so i should now get the 3d working?
[00:57] <gmachine_24> for me
[00:57] <lauren_> why is that?
[00:58] <rww> BlackSaviour: 1) go back in time to before the start of this silliness, 2) give yourself an Ubuntu CD, 3) install Ubuntu, 4) Congratulations, now you're actually running Ubuntu.
[00:58] <mickster04> tenten: depends what fgraphics cpabilities youhave
[00:58] <StuckMojo> hmm...dm_mod doesn't seem to be on the livecd?
[00:58] <gmachine_24> rww, my hero :) ;)
[00:58] <tenten> i installed tenten su commands
[00:58] <BlackSaviour> K, boot script
[00:58] <Pat> Guys
[00:58] <Pat> My ubuntu won't boot
[00:58] <BlackSaviour> And it is ubuntu, it just has all the extras and the name got changed.
[00:58] <BlackSaviour> http://paste.ubuntu.com/575783/
[00:58] <rww> BlackSaviour: No, it isn't.
[00:59] <Pat> I'm getting an error message along the lines of /devices/pci1000
[00:59] <anass> Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it?
[00:59] <mickster04> Pat: you're gonna have to give us the full error message, also explain what you did to break it and what you've done to try and fix it
[00:59] <mickster04> anass: apps> internet > remote desktop viewr?
[00:59] <tenten> i am amazed, it actually worked, some linux console hax and it did not kernel panic
[00:59] <BlackSaviour> http://paste.ubuntu.com/575784/ there
[01:00] <BlackSaviour> package list ^
[01:00] <tenten> i have tried every major release since ubuntu 7
[01:00] <Pat> How do I find the full error message?
[01:00] <tenten>  and tenten is the first that looks promising
[01:00] <StuckMojo> ah damn, all i needed to do was one more step after vgscan: vgchange -a y
[01:00] <StuckMojo> they weren't activated
[01:00] <anass> mickster04: it's not working because it's cannot see GDM
[01:00] <BlackSaviour> rww: Yea kinda is.... When you use a ubuntu iso... it kinda means its ubutu.
[01:00] <BlackSaviour> ubuntu*
[01:00] <Gamer19901> can someone please help me?
[01:00] <tenten> is there some package for vb 404 or is that cdonsole magic really necessary?
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> Thats the point of cusomisation. It looks/feels/acts like ubuntu ....  Just with x-chat and a good backup utility /new menu (thats really all i kept)
[01:01] <tenten> i could only find outdated console
[01:01] <Gamer19901> i want to ask for some help
[01:01] <rww> BlackSaviour: No, if you /install/ from an Ubuntu ISO, that makes it Ubuntu. I'm gathering from your convoluted process above that you started with Linux Mint and then jumped through hoops.
[01:01] <bazhang> Gamer19901, ask then
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> No i started with a ubuntu
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> And added the packages from minti that i wanted.
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> min
[01:01] <anass> mickster04: I was using it untill I needed to login, but I can't because it cannot see GDM!
[01:01] <gmachine_24> we can't read minds
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> But i musta installed a system package
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> That changed the name.
[01:01] <lauren_> how do I log into comp using putty
[01:02] <Gamer19901> is it normal for the flash plugin to make everything come up as red or yellow?
[01:02] <lauren_> what is a version of putty on mac
[01:02] <Gamer19901> or both in flickering
[01:02] <mickster04> BlackSaviour: seeing as you have a tonne of mint based packages there it's not surprising, what have you isntalled in mint that you need in ubuntu? and why not just download them from the repos like normal?
[01:02] <rww> BlackSaviour: Okays. Those packages are not supported here. Mixing repositories from different distributions is not a good idea. Go ask the Linux Mint people.
[01:02] <bazhang> Gamer19901, with compiz on or off
[01:02] <Gamer19901> on at max
[01:02] <rww> They're their packages, after all.
[01:02] <BlackSaviour> mickster04, Becuase it was faster :P
[01:02] <bazhang> Gamer19901, disable it and try
[01:02] <Gamer19901> hold on...
[01:02] <mickster04> anass: i am not sure if you can acces the log in screen remotely
[01:02] <BlackSaviour> rww: i didnt add any repos.
[01:02] <rww> BlackSaviour: s/repositories/packages/, then.
[01:02] <mickster04> anass: you have to og in when you connect so you never see the log in opage
[01:03] <tenten> how does fullscreen differ from seamless mode?
[01:03] <BlackSaviour> rww: those packages are all in the ubuntu repos which makes em ubuntu.
[01:03] <tenten> looks the same to me
[01:03] <mickster04> Pat: just boot up and write it down
[01:03] <rww> BlackSaviour: Ubuntu does not contain packages that would make your computer say "Linux Mint", so no.
[01:03] <BlackSaviour> rww: so your saying your not running ubuntu? x-chat isnt stock with it.
[01:03] <BlackSaviour> rww: nope, they dont. Thats why you download the deb files :P
[01:04] <rww> BlackSaviour: which are not supported here.
[01:04] <anass> mickster04: I remeber that there is an option in GDM sessions called "Remote session" but I can't find it in GDM Sessions List
[01:04] <BlackSaviour> rww: mhmm, your point? Just cus i did some editin dosent mean you guys can help me get it back.
[01:04] <tenten> and is there a way to make those part and connect messages go away in this empathy?
[01:04] <mickster04> anass: iunno, i dont use that, if i ever need to remote i just ssh in and use cli
[01:04] <BlackSaviour> rww: Knowlage you posses works on all distros, and if i go to the mint chat room, they will tell me what you said
[01:05] <pw-toxic> Can someone help me to configure my samba server so someone can connect to my public drives without having to submit a username and password in windows 7? i have spend about 1 hour now configuring my samba server
[01:05] <BlackSaviour> rww: SO. stop stalling and actually help a brother in need.
[01:05] <rww> BlackSaviour: My point is that your frankenstein configuration is not supported in this channel, and that you should stop asking for support here.
[01:05] <telive> hello everybody , does anyone can tell me the name of the sound driver in ubuntu?
[01:05] <fadax> i'm on a dual boot pc with windows  and ubuntu installed... is there a way to share my windows files easily? at the moment i have to mount the windows drive, and navigate to my windows user directory. is there a way to just place a shortcut to this directory on my ubuntu desktop?
[01:05] <madcatter> I just installed ubuntu on a M5405 Emachines...    wireless isn't working...  any ideas?     It seemed to install the new broadcom drivers
[01:05] <telive>  hello everybody , does anyone can tell me the name of the sound driver in ubuntu?
[01:05] <BlackSaviour> rww: if you can't sovle it, just say it.  And its not a weird config, its Ubuntu with like 3 extra things
[01:05] <mickster04> pw-toxic: try in #ubuntu-server
[01:06] <bazhang> !mintsupport | BlackSaviour
[01:06] <telive> madcatter, ndiswapper maybe a good choice
[01:06] <mickster04> fadax: you can make ashoret cut, but you will always have to mount it first
[01:06] <BlackSaviour> omfg
[01:06] <anass> mickster04: but I can't login by ssh, it said: Connection refused.
[01:06] <mickster04> anass: well yeah, thats not the same as what you are using
[01:06] <madcatter> telive...    I will have to look that up :)
[01:07] <madcatter> new to linux
[01:07] <Gamer19901> it did nothing
[01:07] <Gamer19901> still the same even when i turn it off
[01:07] <DaGeek247> fadax, try an automount script?
[01:07] <bazhang> Gamer19901, how did you disable it
[01:08] <Gamer19901> through the appearance menu
[01:08] <quipel> .
[01:08] <DaGeek247> fadax?
[01:08] <StuckMojo> hmmm...got dropped.
[01:08] <tenten> i must say i am amazed that how fast 1010 boots, it is as fast as vistas return from hibernation
[01:09] <tenten> in a virtualbox.!
[01:09] <StuckMojo> well, if anyone asks again, they just need to: pvscan, vgscan, vgchange -a y, lvscan, then mount
[01:09] <Esay_girl> http://www.palandokenrentacar.com/
[01:09] <Gamer19901> the flash plugin just crashed with no report
[01:09] <tenten> but why cannot i set the "magic" on in the effects menu, now that i have the emulated 3d drivers?
[01:10] <quipel> hi I'm wondering why the package ubuntu-restricted-extras installs freepats when it isn't a dependency
[01:10] <bazhang> Gamer19901, how was it installed, what arch are you on
[01:10] <Gamer19901> arch?
[01:10] <Gamer19901> i386
[01:10] <bazhang> Gamer19901, 32bit or 64bit
[01:10] <Gamer19901> x86_32 (IA32)
[01:11] <fadax> is there  a way to make ubuntu mount my windows partition automatically every time i boot?
[01:11] <Gamer19901> bazhang : i am running 32 bit
[01:11] <tenten> whoa, seamless mode means the dfesktop is a hole into my windows desktop?
[01:11] <tenten> christ this is hot
[01:12] <Gamer19901> i might just end up installing kubuntu
[01:12] <bastidrazor> fadax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[01:13] <fadax> thanks bastidrazor
[01:14] <bastidrazor> fadax: you're welcome

[01:19] <iCyrus> and I even tried playing them in movieplayer and they worked
[01:19] <deadkitten> anass: edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[01:20] <deadkitten> you might have to reboot/restart X
[01:21] <anass> deadkitten: thank you very much
[01:21] <mickster04> iCyrus: are they on a seperate hard drive? you may need to mout that hdd
[01:22] <iCyrus> mickster04: No, it's on the same HDD
[01:22] <iCyrus> ~/Music
[01:23] <mickster04> iCyrus: can you open the files individully fro nautilus?
[01:23] <iCyrus> mickster04: Yes.
[01:23] <mickster04> iCyrus: also if you mouse over you can usually see an error message
[01:24] <mickster04> iCyrus: thats in rhythmbox
[01:24] <iCyrus> mickster04: "Missing files"
[01:24] <iCyrus> mickster04: but the path is there, I can confirm that
[01:24] <iCyrus> and I can confirm that the file at that path is a working .mp3
[01:24] <mickster04> iCyrus: so you can double click the file and play it in rhythmbox but the media import doesnt work?
[01:25] <mickster04> iCyrus: and when i say mediaimport i mean update library
[01:25] <whitehat> If I have a problem with python would I post it here?
[01:25] <mickster04> whitehat: nope, there are python channels
[01:25] <iCyrus> mickster04: I can double click and play it in "Movie Player"
[01:25] <jgornick> hey guys, what's the best way to automatically start services in ubuntu?  i'm used to putting a script in /etc/init.d ...
[01:25] <whitehat> mickster04, ok thanks.
[01:25] <mickster04> iCyrus: right click and open with?
[01:26] <iCyrus> mickster04: Sec
[01:26] <mickster04> iCyrus: see what happens then :/
[01:27] <[deXter]> Hi all, I have purchased a DVD from BBC, it's protected by Macrovision ACP, so I'm unable to play it in Ubuntu
[01:27] <[deXter]> Any solutions? Thanks.
[01:27] <iCyrus> mickster04: Doesn't play when I open with RhythmBox
[01:27] <mickster04> iCyrus: error messages?
[01:27] <iCyrus> mickster04: Nope, it showed the file path at the bottom but then it just went away
[01:28] <mickster04> iCyrus: went away?
[01:28] <iCyrus> mickster04: The file path went away
[01:28] <iCyrus> mickster04: It wasn't showing anymore
[01:29] <anonboots> I am having trouble getting my VPN working. I followed all steps outlined by the provider in setting up my VPN, and I cant seem to get it running. Anyone able to help?
[01:30] <manosone> Can anyone who uses firefox 3, change his/her layout to something different than us and hit alt-left?
[01:30] <AStyx> http://speely.wordpress.com/2010/07/31/arch-linux-promising-disappointing/ Ubuntu rocks!
[01:30] <manosone> Please inform me if the back action through alt-left works
[01:30] <mickster04> iCyrus: tbh i haven't heard of this issue before as i use banshee
[01:30] <bazhang> AStyx, dont paste here please
[01:31] <manosone> anonboots, give us a link
[01:31] <iCyrus> mickster04: Is Banshee more resource-heavy than Rhythm Box?
[01:31] <bazhang> iCyrus, clear the existing database and relist
[01:31] <iCyrus> bazhang: Tried that, about 3 times
[01:31] <anonboots> Pasting: here is the VPN website, and the steps it lays out https://www.anonine.com/en/guides/linux_gui
[01:32] <bazhang> iCyrus, how did you do that
[01:32] <mickster04> iCyrus: uhm i really don't know. i can't see why
[01:32] <iCyrus> bazhang: Highlighted all (ctrl + a), then went to edit -> remove
[01:32] <iCyrus> Then after they were all gone and there was nothing showing, I went to file -> add folder or whatever the path to do that is
[01:32] <iCyrus> and added ~/Music
[01:33] <bazhang> iCyrus, what about completely purging it
[01:33] <iCyrus> and the songs get added, they show up in Rhythm Box, but they just delete when I play with the message "File Missing"
[01:33] <iCyrus> bazhang: What do you mean?
[01:33] <bazhang> iCyrus, rhythmbox
[01:33] <iCyrus> bazhang: Hm>?
[01:33] <manosone> anonboots, while i check your vpn issue do this.Change your layout to something different than us english and hit alt-left.Tell me if you went on the previous page
[01:33] <bazhang> iCyrus, purge it and reinstall
[01:34] <iCyrus> bazhang: Does that mean uninstall/reinstall?
[01:34] <anonboots> manosone: Yes, it did.
[01:34] <bazhang> iCyrus, go into synaptic package manager and do it from there
[01:35] <bazhang> iCyrus, trying another music player such as audacious (very light) or banshee as well.
[01:35] <manosone> anonboots: which layout did you used?Which version of Firefox?
[01:35] <iCyrus> bazhang: Would Audacious work with my PSP?
[01:36] <BlackDragonTechy> Is there a work around to get Apple DAAP streams to play in rhythmbox?
[01:36] <bazhang> iCyrus, doubtful, banshee would more likely (audacious is very bare bones)
[01:36] <anonboots> manosone: 3.6.14 English UK
[01:36] <anonboots> And what do you mean by layout? Keyboard layout?
[01:37] <iCyrus> bazhang: What do you prefer? Between Rhythmbox and Banshee?
[01:37] <manosone> anonboots: yes keyboard layout.Do this.Add a greek layout, switch to it, and try alt-back
[01:38] <bazhang> iCyrus, neither, I use audacious
[01:38] <AStyx> setxkbmap do the thing also
[01:38] <anonboots> Manosone: I used Afghanistan
[01:38] <anonboots> It worked.
[01:39] <manosone> anonboots:because i need username/password for your vpn and i assume you do not want to give it in public, please tell me what is the message you received
[01:39] <manosone> anonboots: thanks for the help in the firefox problem
[01:40] <iCyrus> bazhang: I don't see a 'purge' option in the Synaptic Package Manager
[01:40] <drake_> Is anyone on this channel?
[01:40] <rww> drake_: no
[01:40] <mickster04> iCyrus: completely remove
[01:41] <anonboots> manosone: Check PM
[01:41] <blackshirt> hello
[01:41] <mickster04> drake_: that is one of the worst questions to ask in this channel. just sak your quesstion, if anyone knows the answer they will speak? that will be the same regardless of how many people there are here.....
[01:41] <mickster04> drake_: nothing peronal mind
[01:41] <mickster04> blackshirt: greetings
[01:42] <mickster04> personal*
[01:42] <blackshirt> good morning
[01:42] <mickster04> blackshirt: problem
[01:42] <mickster04> ?
[01:43] <blackshirt> i having trouble samba4 on ubuntu..anyone can help ?
[01:43] <craigbass1976> Is firefox wonky lately for any of you?  I just got the update and haven't restarted yet, so hopefully it's better.  A lot lately though it hangs and gets dark.  Sometimes it comes uut of it, sometimes I have to kill it
[01:43] <drake_> I am trying to install LibreOffice from the internet and it set me up with a debian installer. However, the Software center, which opened the software center. However, it would not install it. There was also an rpm installer. Shouls I use that or should i just not do anything and use the pre-loaded software?
[01:43] <red2kic> blackshirt: Many people here use samba, imo. I'm not too sure about samba4.
[01:43] <mickster04> drake_: uhm was there an install button on the page that got opened in the software centre
[01:43] <drake_> sorry about the typo
[01:43] <mickster04> ?
[01:44] <mickster04> !details | blackshirt
[01:44] <mickster04> drake_: there normally is
[01:44] <blackshirt> hmm
[01:45] <drake_> yes, there was, but it pulled up an error message. let me type what it said
[01:45] <cma`> how do I list mounted volumes and their underlying /dev/ entry?
[01:45] <bazhang> cma`, sudo blkid
[01:46] <bastidrazor> cma`: type mount
[01:46] <drake_> Dependency is not satisfiable: libreoffice3-ure
[01:46] <bazhang> drake_, is there not a PPA for libre?
[01:46] <mickster04> drake_: uhm. not sure about that, an rpm will not work for you at all...
[01:46] <cma`> bazhang, bastidrazor thanks
[01:47] <drake_> let me browse through the archive to see real quick
[01:47] <bazhang> drake_, you could wait a month and get libre with natty
[01:47] <mickster04> drake_: it won't be in the default repos i think, you will have to browse their site, see if there is a ppa for libre
[01:47] <mickster04> drake_: that would definitly help
[01:48] <bazhang> drake_, check the ppa search site at launchpad
[01:49] <drake_> not as far as i can see
[01:49] <drake_> I can just wait for the next ubuntu release
[01:49] <mafia> tes
[01:50] <mafia> helo
[01:50] <mickster04> hi
[01:50] <drake_> Thanks for your help

[01:53] <jonstanford> After the last update to .29 Grub2 can't read initrd.img, though i can boot into the last good version by manually reading initrd.img.old.  How do I go about getting the (corrupt) update to reload?
[01:57] <A|i3N> Anyone in here familiar with the app "Spinner"
[01:57] <itaylor57> bazhang: thanks for the link on libreoffice ppa, I am using it now
[01:57] <bazhang> A|i3N, whats the question
[01:58] <A|i3N> well.. installed it from software center. Can't find it to run it.
[01:58] <bazhang> A|i3N, what about alt f2 spinner
[01:58] <NicholasRoge> Anyone mind giving me a hand?  I"m running a server, and using ubuntu server as the OS.  But for some reason, I can't access the sql server from outside localhost.  Anyone mind helping me figure out why?  (I've already made sure to forward port 3306)
[01:58] <mickster04> #uuntu-server
[01:58] <mickster04> #ubuntu-server
[01:59] <bazhang> NicholasRoge, ^
[01:59] <NicholasRoge> Okay, sorry.
[01:59] <einoensio> Hello. Is save to remove hidden files/folders from ~/home? I mean those files wich stays there after you have uninstalled programs.
[02:00] <mickster04> e=eitry sudo apt-get autoremove and autoclean
[02:00] <mickster04> see if that removes anythin einoensio
[02:00] <craigbass1976> Is there an X-Wing clone for ubuntu?
[02:00] <brandon420> whats a easy way to mount, .iso, .bin/.cue?
[02:00] <mickster04> brandon420: double click on it?
[02:01] <bazhang> brandon420, what sort of iso
[02:01] <A|i3N8> ok if you typed anything after I asked my question, i got discoed.
[02:01] <brandon420> mickster04, yeah, that doesnt work
[02:01] <prometheanfire> my wireless keeps on going up and down, here is my /etc/network/interfaces  http://dpaste.com/474031/
[02:01] <brandon420> bazhang, its a game.     .bin/.cue
[02:01] <prometheanfire> it cycles ever 2-3 seconds
[02:01] <bazhang> brandon420, windows game?
[02:01] <mickster04> A|i3N8: try alt+f2 then spinner
[02:02] <A|i3N8> so um, yea, please retype :) I installed that app so it'd keep pinging so my cellular connection won't keep dying.
[02:02] <prometheanfire> 04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[02:02] <brandon420> bazhang, ofc
[02:02] <einoensio> mickster04 : That wont remove them. There are forexample old wine files and old game configuration files
[02:02] <mickster04> oh well then probably wasfe? why not?
[02:02] <mickster04> einoensio: ^
[02:02] <A|i3N8> mickster04 - doesn't seem to do anything
[02:03] <craigbass1976> prometheanfire, is it your card, or the router?  I've had bad luck with a couple of dlinks, and this belkin I have now turds out if I send or receive too much data.  Also, I think our tenant's droid phone does something to it; if I shut her off things seem to go better
[02:03] <mickster04> A|i3N8: open a terminal and type spinner -a
[02:03] <prometheanfire> craigbass1976: I can test from my laptop
[02:03] <mickster04> A|i3N8: open a terminal and type spinner -h*]
[02:04] <mickster04> A|i3N8: so not -a but -h
[02:04] <A|i3N8> oh wow. ok that looks like not what I thought it was. lol. -a and -h did the same thing though.
[02:04] <prometheanfire> lol, need to open the firewall to test the transfer
[02:04] <mickster04> A|i3N8: very good
[02:05] <j_ayen_green> The sysrq key is enabled on my 10.4 system, but when I do alt-sysrq-letter all I get is a popup asking me if I want to save the screenshot
[02:05] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[02:05] <A|i3N8> ok is there a ... preferably graphical program that'll run in the tray.... that will simply ping a website or something ever 5 or 10 secondsand keep my internet connection going?
[02:05] <ExplodingPiglets> YIKES
[02:05] <mickster04> ExplodingPiglets: sounds about right
[02:05] <A|i3N8> wow haven't seen one of those in a while.
[02:06] <j_ayen_green> didn't know asking about sysrq would have that kind of result!
[02:06] <mickster04> A|i3N8: consider just opening up facebook, that should keep an open connection?
[02:06] <mickster04> j_ayen_green: like googling google :p
[02:06] <j_ayen_green> mickster04, hah, yeah :)
[02:06] <A|i3N8> Nope - if it's just sitting there and I'm chatting with someone, it'll keep dropping off. So far, IRC seems to be keeping it alive. Maybe I should just keep XChat open in a busy channel like this one lol
[02:07] <neorc> can i filer out the login & logout info in irc? it's kind of annoying.
[02:07] <mickster04> A|i3N8: uhm, ok, easiest way i guess but there is something more wrong with the connection imo
[02:08] <mickster04> neorc: /ignore #ubuntu joins quits leaves
[02:08] <A|i3N8> i'm connected through a MetroPCS cell phone, it seems to need constant activity or it keeps constantly d/c and r/c.. not a big deal when i'm just surfing, but screws other stuff up
[02:08] <jonstanford> Hi, can anyone give me advice on getting a corrupt update to load again?
[02:09] <deckard42_> anyone know how to make the gnome-panel confine to one monitor in a twinview setup, but also have it expand to the width of that monitor?
[02:09] <mickster04> jonstanford: give us mmore details
[02:09] <A|i3N8> So yea - that's what is wrong with the connection. It's a cell phone that's not really made for heavy tethered internet LOL
[02:09] <mickster04> A|i3N8: yeah ok
[02:09] <jonstanford> last regular update resulted in a /initrd.img that grub2 can't read
[02:10] <A|i3N8> Ubuntu is cool though, it picked it right up when i plugged the data cable in. Less configuration then windows needed, metroPCS was already in there even
[02:11] <mickster04> jonstanford: have you tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal?
[02:11] <neorc> help say
[02:11] <bazhang> neorc, with what
[02:11] <mickster04> neorc: did that work?
[02:11] <progre55> hey guys, anyone knows how to install the mozilla-plugin-gnash? I have installed it, but ff4 still wont play flash vids
[02:11] <jonstanford> no, only used terminal to reload grub
[02:11] <progre55> I mean, I've apt-get installed it
[02:12] <neorc> actually not, it says the joins arg is unknown
[02:12] <A|i3N8> One more question if I may. :) Got a couple small video files I'm trying to convert to MP4 to play on my playstation 3. 2 or 3 of 'em stop processing and just sit there maybe 1/3 of the way through, although they play ok in the current format. I'm using Arista Transcoder to do it. Any way to figure out why it won't finish processing them?
[02:12] <mickster04> jonstanford: well try that, then do sudo updae-grub2
[02:12] <bazhang> A|i3N8, try handbrake?
[02:12] <jonstanford> OK, Thanks!
[02:13] <bazhang> A|i3N8, are these ripped from dvd?
[02:14] <bazhang> A|i3N8, if so, you might choose to use ogmrip instead as it has loads of nice presets
[02:14] <brandon420> can someone tell me how to mount a .bin/.cue file?
[02:14] <mickster04> jonstanford: well try that, then do sudo update-grub2*
[02:14] <brandon420> ubutntu 10.10
[02:14] <prometheanfire> craigbass1976: nope, still 4.6 KBps vs the 2.8MBps of the laptop

[02:14] <A|i3N8> Well. They were downloaded, so I don't know
[02:15] <mickster04> neorc: try that
[02:15] <A|i3N8> They're old bugs bunny cartoons
[02:15] <bazhang> A|i3N8, handbrake then
[02:15] <A|i3N8> ok I will try that one

[02:17] <prometheanfire> the wireless card that is giving problems was tested in another system
[02:17] <bazhang> wizkid5059, ubuntu support issue?
[02:17]  * wizkid5059 has a question?
[02:17] <bazhang> wizkid5059, please stop with the /me and ask
[02:17] <prometheanfire> don't ask to ask
[02:18] <wizkid5059> I wish to install ubuntu on my laptop. Trouble is, it won't boot from a CD.
[02:18] <aeon-ltd> wizkid5059: does it support cd booting?
[02:18] <wizkid5059> Yes
[02:18] <bazhang> wizkid5059, md5 the iso yet?
[02:18] <wizkid5059> what
[02:18] <bazhang> !md5 | wizkid5059 have a read
[02:18] <prometheanfire> md5 the cd too
[02:19] <bazhang> disk integrity check actually
[02:19] <mickster04> prometheanfire: nope, that won't work :p
[02:19] <bazhang> wizkid5059, md5 iso, reburn at low speed do the disk integrity check
[02:19] <bazhang> wizkid5059, or use unetbootin and the like to make a usb installer stick
[02:20] <bazhang> !usb > wizkid5059
[02:20] <wizkid5059> Well, trouble is, I DID install it onto the laptop. I used another laptop, placed my hard drive in, installed, switched back, and got a message to update my BIOS.
[02:20] <wizkid5059> Sorry for a long response
[02:20] <bazhang> wizkid5059, thats not an ubuntu issue
[02:21] <killown> does ubuntu support bluetooth adapter? because this is not working with my bluetooth phone, but it works with windows very fine....
[02:21] <prometheanfire> mickster04: you can md5 a block device
[02:21] <prometheanfire> 2f711edc31571813c674fc4658d05f46  /dev/vg/opt
[02:21] <mickster04> !bluetooth
[02:21] <mickster04> killown: ^
[02:21] <wizkid5059> Wwl,, it goes to the GUI, shows my Gradient image, and refuses to go any further.
[02:21] <bazhang> prometheanfire, well the disk integrity check is what is recommended
[02:21] <killown> mickster04,  [  884.201421] hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout
[02:21] <wizkid5059> Well, it goes to the GUI, shows my Gradient image, and refuses to go any further.
[02:21] <prometheanfire> ya, that would be best
[02:21] <bazhang> wizkid5059, gradient image?
[02:22] <neorc> mickster04: neither, seems this command is to filter out someone's talking
[02:22] <wizkid5059> I use a gradient as a background.
[02:22] <bazhang> wizkid5059, try booting without splash then
[02:22] <mickster04> neorc: what do you mean? that sentence made no sense
[02:22] <wizkid5059> how
[02:22] <bazhang> !nox | wizkid5059
[02:23] <bazhang> neorc, its to hide joins and parts
[02:23] <bazhang> neorc, you using irssi?
[02:23] <neorc> bazhang: xchat
[02:23] <wizkid5059> It does not matter what backdrop I use. I tried 8.04 once and it just hung at the same place for 48 HOURS
[02:23] <killown> mickster04,  Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)
[02:24] <bazhang> neorc, right click channel and choose hide joins/parts
[02:24] <killown> doesn't work
[02:24] <mickster04> killown: i don't know how to fix it, i figured i could at least give u a starting poiint
[02:24] <bazhang> wizkid5059, need some error messages to proceed
[02:24] <neorc> ...so easy, and i did't find it
[02:25] <bazhang> neorc, got it now?
[02:25] <neorc> bazhang, thanks a bunch
[02:25] <wizkid5059> None. Just a blank desktop, backdrop only. No errors.
[02:25] <bazhang> neorc, welcome
[02:25] <bazhang> wizkid5059, what about starting in recovery mode
[02:25] <mickster04> wizkid5059: ctrl+alt+f5
[02:25] <wizkid5059> I then went to install Windows XP on the laptop. Now, it's a Bluescreen-Reboot chain.
[02:25] <A|i3N8> bazhang - ok found a how to guide for adding the repository and key and all that - which version do I want - GTK - GUI?
[02:25] <wizkid5059> It's crap anyway.
[02:26] <bazhang> A|i3N8, yep
[02:26] <A|i3N8> kool i'm proud of myself ;) lol
[02:26] <bazhang> wizkid5059, hold shift at boot to get there
[02:26] <neorc> bazhang, btw, if i wanna use a command, how to?
[02:26] <bazhang> neorc, what sort of command
[02:27] <wizkid5059> I mainly use this desktop (half life 1, civilizations 1, Steam) and my CR-48. (YouTube, Facebook, ETC.)
[02:27] <A|i3N8> now that's something I don't have to do in windows lol. But then again, it's easier to install things with ubuntu - one click if it's there :)
[02:27] <cromson> hi everybody
[02:27] <LadyNikon> hi cromson

[02:27] <rkantos> How can I invoke my GOBI UN2420 WWAN modem? It showed in connection manager once I had installed Ubuntu, but has now disappeared. Any help?
[02:27] <wizkid5059> I've given up. I think: Restore it and sell it as a bargain laptop OR have it microwaved.
[02:28] <bazhang> neorc, either right click channels you have on autojoin or check in preferences
[02:28] <A|i3N8> thank you bazhang, maybe this software will work better for me. Trying to put these on disc for the kids. Thank you also Mickster04 :)
[02:28] <bazhang> A|i3N8, welcome
[02:29] <wizkid5059> What do you think? Sell or MIcrowave?
[02:29] <wizkid5059> What do you think? Sell or Microwave?

[02:30] <mickster04> wizkid5059: i think you going away is a good enough resolution for me
[02:31] <banisterfiend> hey, if im running gnome, can i still use tools like kdiff3? when i go to install 'kdiff3' it's like 200 megs that sounds ridiuclous for a freaking merge tool, waht's the deal?
[02:32] <bazhang> !find diff
[02:33] <cromson> My ubuntu machine behaves rather strange.. It's set up as a NAS, running the latest ubuntu version, and it has samba installed. But since today my windows 7 machine refuses to resolve the "netbios name" nas. I have recently done "apt-get upgrade" and then moved the machine to another room. Before that it worked fine.. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[02:33] <AnnaOnMac> Hello any Mactel folks here?
[02:33] <AnnaOnMac> Need some urgent help.
[02:33] <bazhang> AnnaOnMac, related to ubuntu?
[02:34] <milind> i want to be able to start apache2 from a remote script...i tried ssh -t user@host 'sudo apache2ctl start' but its not working..can any one tell me the corrct way
[02:34] <AnnaOnMac> Its an ubuntu type Linux mint.
[02:35] <AnnaOnMac> Its booting.

[02:36] <sacarlson>  cromson maybe winbind problem, is it installed?
[02:36] <cromson> @sacarlson: never heard of winbind.. do you mean on the server or the client?
[02:36] <LadyNikon> doh
[02:37] <LadyNikon> dual monitors didnt auto detect :(
[02:37] <rww> Hi. I'm about to remove some bans involving URLs. I don't know what's at them, so I recommend you don't click them. kthx.
[02:37] <bazhang> LadyNikon, using xrandr ?
[02:37] <sacarlson> cromson: it would be on your ubuntu nas I would think
[02:37] <cromson> let me check
[02:37] <Leandro> helooo
[02:38] <LadyNikon> bazhang: this is a fresh install.  I havent looked into it yet.
[02:38] <LinuxGuy2009> I think I read somewhere that grub2 can autodetect filesystems or other linux installs. Does this mean that I can install ubuntu on my first hard drive and something like kubuntu on drive 2 and when I boot up, grub2 will automagically allow me to choose between the two?
[02:39] <sacarlson> cromson: maybe take a peak at this http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html
[02:39] <cromson> @sacarlson: nope, it's not installed
[02:40] <A|i3N8> bazhang - um.. got everything set up..... but start button is greyed out.. ? Do I need the metapackage too or something?
[02:40] <Leandro> estou no Kurumim, brasileiro, rsrsss
[02:40] <cromson> @sacarlson: and as far as I can tell I just did an apt-get upgrade
[02:40] <bazhang> A|i3N8, load a file first
[02:40] <cromson> is there maybe a new setting I haven't discovered yet?
[02:41] <Leandro> Kurumim, Linux, 100% Brazil
[02:41] <bazhang> Leandro, offtopic here
[02:41] <Leandro> ok
[02:41] <A|i3N8> Yea - already loaded, destination set...
[02:43] <A|i3N8> think I found the problem. "libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable."
[02:43] <sacarlson> cromson: well it can't hurt too much to try winbind, I'm not sure what was used to resolve in your previos edition so sudo apt-get install winbind could be one posible solution
[02:44] <bazhang> A|i3N8, libdvdcss from medibuntu.org then
[02:44] <ohsix> A|i3N8: run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[02:44] <bazhang> A|i3N8, err sorry libdvdcss2
[02:44] <Leandro> Ubuntuzão??
[02:45] <Leandro> Ubuntu Good??
[02:45] <bazhang> Leandro, yes
[02:45] <Logan_> !br | Leandro
[02:46] <Leandro> Ok, Ubuntu brazil
[02:46] <Leandro> eu sou ninja
[02:46] <Logan_> Leandro: Please stop.
[02:47] <prometheanfire> it looks like ubuntu is having my wireless card reauthenticate ever 2-3 seconds
[02:49] <Leandro> weight excuse
[02:49] <sacarlson> prometheanfire: is that with a wpa encryption network?  if so maybe try wicd or wpagui
[02:49] <Leandro> Logan, weight excuse
[02:49] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all.  Any idea how to transfer music from my ipod nano 3rd gen to ubuntu 10.10?
[02:49] <Logan_> Leandro: what?
[02:49] <bazhang> SeanInSeattle, using banshee?
[02:50] <Logan_> !ipod | SeanInSeattle
[02:50] <ReinH> Hi folks. Trying to write an init.d script. Stop is not working, could that be because the command that is bring run is different from $NAME?
[02:50] <sacarlson> prometheanfire: if posible choose wpasupplicant in whatever network manager you might use
[02:50] <SeanInSeattle> Logan_:  I'm not *adding*.... I'm trying to get my music _off_ my ipod.
[02:50] <ReinH> I'm using start-stop-daemon ... --name $NAME
[02:50] <prometheanfire> sacarlson: I do not have xorg
[02:51] <prometheanfire> sacarlson: http://dpaste.com/474031/
[02:51] <A|i3N8> bazhang - done - last entry in activity windows is libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access - so no errors, but still can't hit start lol
[02:51] <Jasonn> hello there
[02:51] <Jasonn> i messed up the sudoers file, and now i cant edit it again
[02:51] <Leandro> I apologize
[02:51] <ReinH> so I guess me question is: if I've written a wrapper for the start command in, say, /usr/local/bin/foobar, how do I change the process name as reported by /proc/pid/stat?
[02:51] <ReinH> *my
[02:51] <Jasonn> and i cant use the sudo command,so i dont have root access
[02:52] <rww> Jasonn: boot from a livecd and fix it, and use visudo next time.
[02:52] <SeanInSeattle> bazhang:  Sure.  How would I do it with banshee?
[02:52] <bazhang> A|i3N8, got all the codecs installed? x264 ubuntu-restricted-extras and the like?
[02:52] <Jasonn> rww: how do i fix it with a livecd?
[02:52] <Trfsrfr> Hey all, I have some Linux rookie questions regarding dual monitors and sound...
[02:52] <Leandro> Logan, you're an administrator of the chat?
[02:52] <bazhang> A|i3N8, what format to what format did you want to convert
[02:52] <rww> Jasonn: mount the / partition on your hard disk, open the terminal, sudo nano /media/whatever/etc/sudoers
[02:52] <Logan_> Leandro: no
[02:53] <AnnaMactel> Hi, I am on a mac. I installed from a singleboot from a ubuntu livecd and now my computer won't be anywhere but the livecd.
[02:53] <bazhang> Leandro, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[02:53] <bazhang> AnnaMactel, using mint?
[02:53] <rww> Leandro: no, but the people that are agree with him on this.
[02:53] <Leandro> You no administrator ?
[02:53] <ReinH> hmm, can I just reset ARGV[0]?
[02:53] <Leandro> ok, soee
[02:53] <bazhang> Leandro, ----> #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:53] <Jasonn> rww: isnt the / partition already mounted on my hard disk?
[02:54] <rww> Jasonn: If you boot from a LiveCD? dunno, depends on Ubuntu version I think.
[02:54] <AnnaMactel> It is mint, but they really haven't been able to help me on there irc. I thought there might be someone knowing about mac and ubuntu linuxes here.
[02:54] <rww> I haven't done it in a while.
[02:54] <Jasonn> rww: xubuntu 10.10
[02:54] <rww> AnnaMactel: We don't support Mint in here. At all.
[02:54] <bazhang> !mintsupport | AnnaMactel
[02:54] <bazhang> AnnaMactel, more the reason to never use Mint
[02:54] <rww> When choosing a distro, the amount of support you can get for it should be a factor.
[02:54] <A|i3N8> bazhang - MPG and AVI to MP4 ... as far as codecs, I'm not sure. Like I said, I'm new to this.
[02:55] <A|i3N8> I may not.
[02:55] <ReinH> or should I use exec -a ?
[02:55] <sacarlson> prometheanfire:  you should try wpa_supplicant in your interfaces file example here but might find better ones if you look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=419020
[02:55] <bazhang> A|i3N8, check the package manager for 264 and -restricted-extras then
[02:55] <A|i3N8> Ubuntu Restricted Extras are not installed according to the software center
[02:56] <bazhang> A|i3N8, pretty important, those
[02:56] <A|i3N8> x264 for Mpeg-4 is not installed, regular one is
[02:56] <Leandro> ok, I'm going to embrace all and good night
[02:56] <bazhang> A|i3N8, apt-cache search 264  or in synaptic as well
[02:56] <A|i3N8> The very one that handbrake is trying to use. LOL
[02:56] <Alex--> hello
[02:56] <Leandro> ok, I'm going to embrace all and good night
[02:57] <bazhang> Leandro, ok
[02:57] <Alex--> i'm running 11.04 alpha 3 from live usb, but the unity interface doesnt shows up, why is that??
[02:57] <bazhang> Alex--, #ubuntu+1 please
[02:57] <A|i3N8> When you say Synaptic - you mean the software center right? :)
[02:57] <Leandro> I just wanted an American kitty for me, just that! : P
[02:58] <bazhang> A|i3N8, that will do as well, synaptic package manager is something separate however
[02:58] <Leandro> And hot, and cute
[02:58] <bazhang> Leandro, please stop
[02:59] <rww> Leandro: I recommend that the next thing you say be on-topic for #ubuntu.
[02:59] <Leandro> good night
[02:59] <Jasonn> Is there any way that i can get root access without using sudo on terminal?
[02:59] <Leandro> Ok
[02:59] <Jasonn> Or on mousepad?
[02:59] <A|i3N8> oh ok. Dangit I learned DOS inside and out when i was 12, learned windows 3.1 - 7 inside and out. By god I'll learn Linux too! hehehe
[02:59] <Leandro> Yess, Bye bye
[03:00] <edbian> A|i3N8, It's gonna take more time.  There is a lot more to learn :)
[03:00] <edbian> Jasonn, not in Ubuntu.
[03:00] <A|i3N8> Oh I know. lol.
[03:00]  * LadyNikon watches the updates fly
[03:00] <A|i3N8> It'll take years i'm sure but I'm a quick learner when it comes to computer stuff
[03:01] <A|i3N8> so far I'm liking ubuntu.
[03:01] <bruenig> hmm
[03:01] <A|i3N8> faster and more stable, I'll take that over a memory hogging microsoft product any day.
[03:01] <KB1JWQ> !ot | A|i3N8
[03:01] <Jasonn> edbian: i messed up the sudoer file, and now i dont have root privelages to fix it, andy ideas?
[03:02] <edbian> Jasonn, Boot a live CD.  Use root on that live CD to edit the file.
[03:02] <rww> as I already said.
[03:02] <A|i3N8> lol. Guess I ticked the bot off. Thanks for the help everyone, this is rather large so I'ma do this restricted extras download later after I recharge the cell connection.
[03:02] <sacarlson> Jasonn: I guess you can boot into single user to get back to root access and then modify your /etc/sudoer file from that
[03:03] <ReinH> no luck... would anyone be so kind as to explain to me how I can change the process name of a process I'm starting using init.d? I'd like to be able to use start-stop-daemon --name
[03:03] <Jasonn> sacarlson: how do i get root access on LiveCD?
[03:03] <edbian> Jasonn, sudo, just like you do normally.  But the default user has no password
[03:04] <sacarlson> Jasonn: that's also an option you could use just enter a terminal in livecd sudo -s to become superuser
[03:04] <Jasonn> Thank you
[03:09] <sunboy2> Hi.  Can anyone suggest how to get vnc working?
[03:10] <alexanderbandukw> sunboy2: did you read the community documentation
[03:10] <sunboy2> I can log into a remote machine but I can't change anything (or I'm not seeing screen refreshes)
[03:10] <bazhang> !vnc
[03:10] <alexanderbandukw> sunboy2: thats a problem with compiz
[03:10] <alexanderbandukw> sunboy2: theres a fix posted in the forums somewhere
[03:10] <sunboy2> compiz? is that a client?
[03:11] <alexanderbandukw> sunboy2: no thats your window manager
[03:11] <sunboy2> I've been browsing the forums for the past couple of hours. No dice
[03:11] <sunboy2> I've tried both vinaigre and tightvnc
[03:11] <alexanderbandukw> one sec
[03:11] <sunboy2> I did read that vinaigre has a known issue about screen refreshing
[03:11] <sunboy2> And the person at the other end said he did see me opening windows
[03:12] <sunboy2> But when I right tightvnc, the cursor becomes a small dot and won't change anything
[03:12] <sunboy2> right-> run
[03:13] <[[thufir]]> when you install ant, is Tools.jar supposed to be available?  http://pastebin.com/wYp1d1tC

[03:15] <sunboy2> Alex: I did turn on nodamage from gconf-editor
[03:15] <sunboy2> was that for vinaigre?
[03:15] <sunboy2> didn't help
[03:15] <alexanderbandukw> i dont know i use x1vnc instead of vinagre
[03:16] <alexanderbandukw> because i couldnt get it working
[03:16] <alexanderbandukw> same issue
[03:16] <audi0> hell0
[03:16] <sunboy2> alex: whatever works
[03:16] <sunboy2> There's not a lot of discussion on alternative vnc clients for ubuntu
[03:16] <cyix> Is there a tool that allows me to change my Window Manager from this default thing to, say, blackbox/fluxbox, xfce, etc?
[03:17] <audi0> http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt    How do I found my HD audio model name?
[03:17] <audi0> tks
[03:17] <audi0> find*
[03:17] <edbian> cyix, gdm
[03:17] <cyix> ok, ty.
[03:17] <alexanderbandukw> umm the client shouldnt be your problem
[03:17] <alexanderbandukw> the server is i believe
[03:18] <edbian> cyix, It's the login screen.  It lets you choose which you wanna use when you log in
[03:18] <audi0> anyone?
[03:18] <cyix> ok.. looking.. I just don't recall seeing any choices there.
[03:18] <firsttimecaller> hello all, can anyone help out a semi noob with an ubuntu problem?
[03:18] <bazhang> audi0, from ubuntu?
[03:18] <audi0> yes bazhang
[03:18] <edbian> cyix, It's under the session menu I believe
[03:18] <bazhang> audi0, sudo lshw
[03:19] <sunboy2> Alex: where do I install x1vnc from?
[03:19] <cyix> kk, ty.
[03:19] <alexanderbandukw> sudo apt-get install x11vnc
[03:19] <cyix> firsttimecaller, just ask =)
[03:19] <sunboy2> Oh ok
[03:19] <BlackDragonTechy> x11vnc is also in the Ubuntu Software Centre
[03:19] <sunboy2> x11
[03:19] <BlackDragonTechy> You spelt it wrong
[03:19] <sunboy2> that makes a difference :)
[03:19] <BlackDragonTechy> The viewer and the server is there.
[03:20] <alexanderbandukw> yeah
[03:20] <firsttimecaller> yeah, i installed the ubuntu version of password safe from the sourceforge site. . . i was able to find it in applications > accessories. it ran fine, but now that i've rebooted, i can't find it. synamptic still shows it as installed. this is the 2nd time i've had this problem
[03:21] <audi0> bazhang: the "model name" here is the codec right http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt
[03:21] <ReinH> ok, let me ask this another way: if I have a file called, say ~/bin/carbon that contains https://gist.github.com/5522b16c58486c2af837, why would its process name not be "carbon" when I run it?

[03:25] <now0pen> i'm trying to install joy2key on ubuntu 10.04. i am following these instructions http://mcaf.ee/3ac61 but couldn't get past step two
[03:25] <firsttimecaller> do i need to be patient, or should i ask my question again?
[03:25] <now0pen> i get an error message http://mcaf.ee/43f8a
[03:25] <edbian> firsttimecaller, ask again
[03:25] <firsttimecaller>  i installed the ubuntu version of password safe from the sourceforge site. . . i was able to find it in applications > accessories. it ran fine, but now that i've rebooted, i can't find it. synamptic still shows it as installed. this is the 2nd time i've had this problem
[03:26] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, whats the package name, the ubuntu version is NOT on sourceforge
[03:26] <edbian> firsttimecaller, open a terminal.  What is the name of the package?
[03:26] <alexanderbandukw> i g2g gl
[03:26] <LadyNikon> !nvidia
[03:27] <LadyNikon> <3 ubottu
[03:27] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, whats the package name
[03:27] <anonboots> Im still having issues with my VPN setup. Anyone with experience in setting up a VPN in 10.10 able to help?
[03:28] <firsttimecaller> bashang: what's this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/Linux-BETA/0.3/passwordsafe-ubuntu-0.3.i686.deb/download
[03:28] <bazhang> !info mypasswordsafe | firsttimecaller
[03:28] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, use the repos version first and almost always
[03:29] <audi0> anonboots: with network-manager applet is easy
[03:29] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, 3rd party stuff will cause issues and are not supported here
[03:29] <anonboots> audi0: yes, it is. I have set all settings as per my provider, but I still cannot connect.
[03:29] <LorgonJortle> Ubuntu (System Monitor) is saying that I've 2.9GB RAM, but I've 4GB installed. Where could the missing gig be?
[03:29] <[TK]D-Fender> "may"
[03:29] <firsttimecaller> ok, so looks like i didn't install it right the first time, yes?
[03:29] <firsttimecaller> is that what you're saying?
[03:30] <audi0> anonboots: is it PPTP or OpenVPN?
[03:30] <edbian> LorgonJortle, Are you using 64-bit Ubuntu?
[03:30] <firsttimecaller> pls keep in mind i'm kind of a noob
[03:30] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go look inside the deb and see what command it drops in /bin or /usr/bin
[03:30] <anonboots> audi0: PPTP
[03:30] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, best to search in package manager or apt-cache search package or on irc /msg ubottu find package
[03:30] <anonboots> audi0: Let me double check just to be sure.
[03:30] <firsttimecaller> ok, so don't download and install stuff from the sourceforge site, yes?
[03:30] <audi0> anonboots: in advanced options select use point-to-point encryption
[03:30] <LorgonJortle> edbian, Nope. But I've 64 bit architecture.
[03:31] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, thats a very last resort, even after PPA
[03:31] <firsttimecaller> instead use the synaptic package manager?
[03:31] <bazhang> !ppa | firsttimecaller
[03:31] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, yep
[03:31] <edbian> LorgonJortle, You need 64 bit OS to take advantage of more than 3.2 Gb of RAM (not sure why you see 2.9) but either way you need 64 bit to get all 4 GB
[03:31] <firsttimecaller> you guys keep using all the acronyms and jargon words that i don't really follow
[03:31] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, or the terminal sudo apt-get install mypasswordsafe
[03:31] <anonboots> audi0: Im going to attempt to set up as OpenVPN. When I purchased, it was unclear, to be honest.
[03:31] <LorgonJortle> edbian, Ah.... Thanks for the clarification.
[03:32] <anonboots> audi0: if I have no luck, Ill ask again.
[03:32] <firsttimecaller> ok, so i should probably uninstall it now. how do i do that?
[03:32] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, synaptic package manager handles all that. best to use it first and almost always
[03:32] <audi0> anonboots: to use openvpn in nm applet you need install the plugin
[03:32] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: I jsut told you what to look for
[03:32] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go see if you can find the binary it should have installed
[03:32] <edbian> LorgonJortle, no problem.  It's because there are more than 2^32 addresses in 4Gb of ram, so you need 64 bit (2^64 possible addresses) to use them all.  There is some hack for the 32 bit kernel called pae or something.
[03:32] <edbian> !pae
[03:32] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, system administration synaptic package manager
[03:32] <audi0> anonboots: install the package network-manager-openvpn
[03:33] <audi0> anonboots: or you can install openvpn client package
[03:33] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, top panel under the system menu
[03:33] <feiyu> madwifi,ndiswrapper,which is better?
[03:33] <LorgonJortle> edbian, Yeah, I understand machine addressing. It just didn't occur to me when I saw it. Much appreciated.
[03:33] <edbian> LorgonJortle, no problem :)
[03:34] <steff12321> I asked earlier how to get sudo access when i messed up the sudoers file
[03:34] <edbian> steff12321, Did you figure out a solution?
[03:35] <steff12321> now i am in livecd, and when i say sudo gedit /etc/sudoers it just brings me to the temp sudo file
[03:35] <audi0> steff12321: sudo visudo
[03:35] <firsttimecaller> ok, so i want the mypassword safe found in synaptic, yes?
[03:35] <edbian> steff12321, It's accessing the file on the live CD.  You need to mount the partition on the harddrive first and edit the sudoers file on there.
[03:36] <steff12321> edbian: how do i do that?
[03:36] <edbian> firsttimecaller, Yes, always choose software that's in the repos first because it's safe and automatically updated
[03:36] <edbian> steff12321, CLI or GUI way?
[03:36] <firsttimecaller> right
[03:36] <firsttimecaller> and the mypassword safe is the program that's the ubuntu version of password safe, yes?
[03:36] <steff12321> edbian: preferably GUI
[03:37] <sacarlson> steff12321: you will need to mount the disk you normaly boot from and modify the /etc/sudoer file on that root disk
[03:37] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, likely yes
[03:37] <edbian> steff12321, Go to computer.  See click on the drives listed in there until you figure out which is your Ubuntu root partition.
[03:37] <edbian> steff12321, Then find the file in there.
[03:37] <steff12321> edbian: its a protected file, so i have to do it with a sudo command
[03:38] <edbian> steff12321, gksudo nautilus will give you a nautilus window as the root user.  You can use it to do all of this.
[03:38] <edbian> steff12321, Typically you do not want to use a root window but this is a case where it is useful for you
[03:38] <firsttimecaller> ok, i just installed mypassword safe from synaptic. any idea how i run it? i can't find the icon
[03:39] <edbian> firsttimecaller, mypassword in the terminal is a guess
[03:39] <steff12321> edbian: wait, so what do i do after the nautilus?
[03:39] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, what about alt f2 mypasswordsafe
[03:39] <edbian> firsttimecaller, time mypass and then jam on tab frantically and it'll auto-complete something useful
[03:39] <sacarlson> steff12321: after you have mounted it or know where it it mounted you can gksudo gedit  /path/to/your/etc/sudoer  and modify it as needed
[03:39] <audi0> bazhang: the bug is this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/607482
[03:39] <edbian> steff12321, what sacarlson said
[03:40] <audi0> headhphones disabled in alsamixer
[03:40] <steff12321> thank you
[03:40] <firsttimecaller> darn, and how do i get the terminal?
[03:40] <audi0> firsttimecaller: ctrl+alt+t
[03:41] <edbian> firsttimecaller, alt+f2  => gnome-terminal
[03:41] <audi0> or accessories terminal
[03:41] <audi0> or that
[03:41] <edbian> firsttimecaller, seriously not a hard thing to find
[03:42] <audi0> :>
[03:42] <firsttimecaller> hard is a relative thing and is almost always different for different people, but this discussion is probably out of the scope this channel
[03:42] <audi0> ye
[03:43] <bazhang> !manual | firsttimecaller this may help
[03:44] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, ubuntu wiki and help.ubuntu.com are useful as well
[03:44] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[03:44] <audi0> what is snd-hda-tools ?
[03:46] <LadyNikon> audi0: sounds like sound driver tools
[03:46] <firsttimecaller> ok, i found the terminal, but typing mypasswordsafe gets me a message that says that command isn't recognized
[03:46] <audi0> yes P
[03:46] <firsttimecaller> is there some kind of manual for passwordsafe that i can access?
[03:47] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, let me check
[03:48] <edbian> firsttimecaller, it might be my-password-safe  it might be mypassword-safe  it might be mps   you have to try more than one guess
[03:48] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go lok in the deb like I told you to
[03:48] <[TK]D-Fender> look*
[03:48] <firsttimecaller> k, i just found the mypasswordsafe manual, so i'll check that out
[03:49] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller
[03:49] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: If you've already ripped & reinstalled from USC then use Synaptic to look at the package and see what files it left you
[03:51] <Wiesshund> Anyone use grub2 v1.98-2xxxxxxxxxxxx ? im having somenon fatal issues with it
[03:51] <sougata_> Corleone, Any luck ?
[03:52] <psion> so, smbfs is being replaced by cifs, should I use likewise-open-server instead of samba?
[03:52] <firsttimecaller> ah drat, it doesn't appear this mypasswordsafe works at all. password safe is the preeminent password management program for windows and the mac, written by bruce scheier. i have all my passwords stored it in already, so i want to use it on ubuntu . . . is it *really* not possible to do this?
[03:53] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Show us the failure
[03:53] <firsttimecaller> just get a message saying the command isn't recognized
[03:53] <[TK]D-Fender> SHOW US
[03:53] <[TK]D-Fender> Should take 2 lines....
[03:54] <firsttimecaller> main@Dell-laptop:~$ mypassword-safe
[03:54] <firsttimecaller> mypassword-safe: command not found
[03:54] <firsttimecaller> '
[03:54] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: that isn't the command the instructions you were given had on it
[03:54] <firsttimecaller> same thing when i try mypassword-safe and other variations
[03:54] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, no space
[03:54] <[TK]D-Fender> [22:49]	<bazhang>	http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller
[03:54] <[TK]D-Fender> ^^^^
[03:55] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: You are guessing instead of looking
[03:55] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: read the doc he gave you
[03:55] <megana> Hi #ubuntu. Does anyone know how to remap media keys
[03:55] <psion> in gnome?
[03:55] <gaurav_help> how do i compress big exe file in small
[03:56] <psion> I'd assume just go into the keybindings configuration
[03:56] <megana> no, just plain X
[03:56] <firsttimecaller> main@Dell-laptop:~$ mypasswordsafe
[03:56] <firsttimecaller> mypasswordsafe: command not found
[03:56] <psion> megana: which WM?
[03:56] <megana> it's ubuntu server so I has no gnomes
[03:56] <psion> most WMs have a keybindings file
[03:56] <firsttimecaller> i don't see anything in the man page that says how to start itg
[03:56] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Now pay attention to the doc because it clearly has some CAPITALIZED LETTERS
[03:56] <megana> where is it psion?
[03:57] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: "Starting MyPasswordSafe is just like any other program, you just need to run it. If you copied the binary into your PATH, all you need to is type MyPasswordSafe. "
[03:57] <psion> megana: well it depends on which one.  for example fluxbox's is .fluxbox/keys
[03:57] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: "MyPasswordSafe"
[03:57] <megana> what's a WM again?
[03:57] <psion> window manger
[03:57] <megana> oh
[03:57] <megana> I have openbox
[03:57] <psion> ah, it's probably .openbox/keys then
[03:58] <psion> not positive though, openbox is a little different than fluxbox
[03:58] <sacarlson> firsttimecaller: in synaptic can you see if mypasswordsafe is installed?
[03:58] <psion> megana: look in .config/openbox/rc.xml
[03:58] <[TK]D-Fender> sacarlson: Lets wait and see after he runs the command the docs told him to
[03:58] <Wiesshund> Anyone use grub2 v1.98-2xxxxxxxxxxxx ? im having some non fatal issues with it
[03:59] <firsttimecaller> but man, now is someone supposed to know that?
[04:00] <psion> megana: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings
[04:01] <Code_Bleu> Can i remove Unity Shell from 11.04 and go back to Gnome Shell?  I really do not like Unity
[04:01] <psion> megana: I think there's an application to configure it, though I don't know the name of it
[04:01] <rww> Code_Bleu: ask in #ubuntu+1 for natty help
[04:01] <psion> Code_Bleu: from what I read, you can change your session to ubuntu classic or gnome classic
[04:01] <psion> something like that
[04:01] <Code_Bleu> psion: where and/or how?
[04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: the doc told you exactly what to type... you could have copy & pasted
[04:02] <megana> psion, I think it's xmodmap, but it seems to be a little over my head
[04:02] <sacarlson> Wiesshund: non fatal issues?  that's a new one
[04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Welcome to *NIX the lad where every character matters... or else
[04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> land*
[04:02] <psion> megana: nah don't bother with xmodmap, that's more difficult than it needs to be.  it kind of circumvents the built in keybindings that openbox has
[04:03] <psion> megana: it's good if you need to change the way mouse buttons behave or something, but anything else it's just a pain
[04:03] <megana> oh
[04:03] <firsttimecaller> D-Fender thanks for the welcome . . . but how the heck is someone supposed to know?
[04:03] <Wiesshund> sacarlson grub functions fine as far as booting, but the newest grub seems to pay no attention to the config files, such as 000_header, or 05_debain_theme etc
[04:03] <megana> well I used showkey to tell me the keycode for the key I want to map
[04:03] <megana> would you have done it like that psion?
[04:03] <firsttimecaller> D-Fender, where exactly did this man page tell me this? what are the words?
[04:04] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, by reading the links we suggested, which are numerous
[04:04] <psion> megana: I'd have used xev but they probably do the same exact thing
[04:04] <firsttimecaller> i don't see anything that says, to open this document, type MyPasswordSafe in the terminal
[04:05] <firsttimecaller> i followed the links, but just didn't see anything that seemed to tell me what i needed to know to open the program
[04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: [22:54]	<[TK]D-Fender>	[22:49] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller
[04:05] <psion> megana: then just modify the xml file with your own keybindings.  tbh I kind of like fluxbox's ~/.fluxbox/keys file more, it seems quicker to add little keybindings
[04:05] <bazhang> MyPasswordSafe   <----- firsttimecaller
[04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: and I even followed the link and pasted the very explicit instructions for you
[04:05] <firsttimecaller> d-fender, yes, i went to that link. where on that page does it show exactly what has to be typed in to open?
[04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> bazhang: Yeah, he got it now.
[04:06] <megana> psion, do you know how I can put xmodmap back to defaults. I think I screwed it up some how
[04:06] <firsttimecaller> i'm asking so the next time i go to a page like that i';ll know how to read it
[04:06] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, case matters
[04:06] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/ <- ah, I followed the link to the actual project page...
[04:06] <psion> megana: is it running right now? ps ax |grep xmodmap
[04:07] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: When you want answers... drill
[04:07] <megana> no
[04:07] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/#starting
[04:07] <firsttimecaller> i udnerstand case matters, but how is one to know the precise caps that are required?
[04:07] <megana> psion it's not running. I just notice a significant delay on the key I was messing with
[04:07] <psion> megana: not sure, I'm pretty sure changes don't persist through relogging though
[04:07] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, by following the links given many times here
[04:07] <megana> okay, I will just reboot the machine and hope for the best :)
[04:07] <psion> megana: http://mywereld247.blogspot.com/2011/02/key-bindings-in-openbox.html <-- that looks like a decent guide
[04:07] <firsttimecaller> i followed the link
[04:08] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: The doc shows it with case.  the man page does as well.  Standard dictate that it has to match 100%
[04:08] <firsttimecaller> but where on that page does is say, to open this program type MyPasswordSafe in the terminal?
[04:08] <megana> ugh the people in the adjacent tower are playing really loud salsa music from 30 years ago

[04:08] <Wiesshund> wth?
[04:09] <rww> !botattack
[04:09] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, the project page within that link does. as we have posted several times now
[04:09] <megana> pscion, yeah shutting it down fixed the lag
[04:09] <megana> so the keycode is 162 thanks to xev
[04:09] <psion> megana: good, I thought it might. do you still have what I just linked you? seems like it breaks it down pretty well
[04:09] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Anyway you seem to have learned a few things all at once on this... several steps further ahead for it I hope
[04:10] <megana> no psion, I looked away
[04:10] <psion> ah
[04:10] <psion> http://mywereld247.blogspot.com/2011/02/key-bindings-in-openbox.html
[04:10] <firsttimecaller> so is the answer to my last question "yes"?
[04:10] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go make yourself a launcher for it now so it's convenient
[04:10] <megana> thanks, I scrolled up and then I came down and saw it again :)
[04:11] <psion> np
[04:11] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: all "commands" are terminal.  Linux is not built around the assumption of "GUI"
[04:11] <firsttimecaller> d-fender, i don't see anything anywhere on the page you linked to that says WHAT the command is
[04:12] <psion> megana: as an example, this is what my volume keys looks like in my ~/.fluxbox/keys file, yours will be different since it's xml, but it shows you the commands to manipulate volume and such
[04:12] <firsttimecaller> can you help me understand how to read those things?
[04:12] <psion> 123 :Exec amixer sset Master,0 1+
[04:12] <psion> 122 :Exec amixer sset Master,0 1-

[04:12] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: I told you I DIRLLED the HOMEPAGE link on that to the HOME PAGE
[04:12] <bazhang> http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/#starting   <----- firsttimecaller
[04:12] <[TK]D-Fender> DRILLED*
[04:12] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, see that link?
[04:12] <Ubuntu_JS> hi
[04:13] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: [22:49] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller <--- in here I followed the HOMEPAGE link and read the instructions of the product's main page.  In their words.
[04:13] <Ubuntu_JS> does anyone have any experience with setting up sftp chroot jail in in ubtunu?
[04:13] <sikilpaake> how can i "make" a makefile?
[04:13] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: does your sftp server support chrooting?
[04:13] <anonboots> lolflood
[04:13] <BlackDragonTechy> Is there any game for Ubuntu worth trying?
[04:13] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: yes
[04:13] <megana> psion, thanks a lot. It says my keysym is 0x0, I wonder if it really means that?
[04:13] <bazhang> !games > BlackDragonTechy
[04:14] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: should be easy in the config file then
[04:14] <psion> megana: guessing not :P I dunno though
[04:14] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: yesi had it working.. but then i changed the permissions for the folder which I was giving the user sftp access into
[04:14] <BlackDragonTechy> Thanks bazhang
[04:14] <bazhang> welcome BlackDragonTechy
[04:14] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: then it gave my errors when I tried to go back in
[04:15] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: so i was told to delete the null user.. and start over which I did but I am getting exit 1 error when i try to ftp back in
[04:15] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: well I'm guessing the sftp server is being run by a system user, like sftp.  depending on the case you could just consider chown -R sftp:sftP folder
[04:15] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: i am not sure if i should also delete the /dev/null folder and reinstall the user and recreate it
[04:15] <firsttimecaller> d-fender, yes, you have pointed repeatedly to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html == but you have yet to show me where on the page it says that to open the program you have to type MyPasswordSafe in the terminal
[04:15] <firsttimecaller> am i missing something?
[04:15] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: yeah you don't want to delete /dev/null :P
[04:16] <bazhang> http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/#starting   firsttimecaller
[04:16] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: it's kind of used by a lot of stuff

[04:16] <psion> I don't know how that happened
[04:16] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, its linked in the page we gave you. please read carefully.
[04:16] <psion> I appologize
[04:16] <firsttimecaller> but i'm still trying to figure out of there's some kind of short hand that you guys know about that i don't that tells you that
[04:16] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: That page has a blatantly obvious link. I FOLLOWED IT.
[04:17] <shmup> looking for a "FIXED" guide on this ubuntu login loop. happened after a reboot.
[04:17] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: this is dev/null created by the scponly program when you are installing a sftp chroot in ubuntu
[04:17] <shmup> go to login. screen goes black for a second, back to login.
[04:17] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, lets move on please. you have been given that link half a dozen times at least now
[04:17] <firsttimecaller> d-fender, can you give me the quote from the page that's blatantly obvious, just so i can learn from all this
[04:17] <firsttimecaller> ?
[04:17] <megana> psion thanks! I got it to work

[04:18] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Open your eyes
[04:18] <rww> [TK]D-Fender: drop it and move on.
[04:18] <bazhang> [TK]D-Fender, he does not want to read, lets move on
[04:18] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: to be honest I haven't done it in years and at the time it was ftp not sftp of course using a different program.  I don't know the specifics of yours, sorry
[04:18] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: How many more times will it take?
[04:18] <firsttimecaller> ok, i'm going to take that as an admission that there's nothing on the other page, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html, that makes it clear to a noob how to open the program
[04:18] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, lets move on
[04:18] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: ok thanks
[04:18] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: LINK ON THAT PAGE
[04:19] <firsttimecaller> i totally understannd that the other page makes it clear but that first one isn't, unless there's some kind of short hand you guys aretn't telling me about
[04:19] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Yeah I know...
[04:20] <yaaang> help, i'm getting "No candidate version found for python-profiler" on "sudo apt-get install python-profiler". tried "sudo apt-cache update", no change. i've installed this package fine on other boxes before. any ideas?
[04:20] <bazhang> !topic
[04:20] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Not worth it
[04:20]  * [TK]D-Fender sighs
[04:20] <rww> [TK]D-Fender: When multiple people tell you to drop something, it's a pretty good sign that you should drop it.
[04:20] <rww> Anyway. Moving on.
[04:20] <Niglop> can I get logitech webcam drivers in ubuntu?
[04:21] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Actually they were telling him to move on, but the point applies all around anyway
[04:21] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: So np...
[04:21] <BlackDragonTechy> so if I plug in a game joypad, were is the options for it in ubuntu?
[04:21] <rww> [TK]D-Fender: /join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss this further.
[04:21] <yaaang> anybody else getting my issue?
[04:21] <megana> niglop, not normally no
[04:22] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: No need, its all good.... sorry for having elevated the tone with it all...
[04:22] <Niglop> megana» so i cant use logitech webcams with linux at all?
[04:22] <tantalus> yaang try using the software center to get python, the cmd didnt work with me either
[04:22] <psion> question: smbfs has been replaced by cifs, should I use a cifs server instead of samba?
[04:22] <megana> I have had varied success niglop
[04:22] <[TK]D-Fender> Niglop: Most you can.  I recall reading an artical a few months ago that one programmer managed to make a massive driver contribution that cover almost all of them
[04:23] <megana> niglop meaning that it will either work or it won't work
[04:23] <Jasonn> Can i reinstall sudo
[04:23] <Jasonn> JUST sudo?
[04:23] <Jasonn> i need help
[04:23] <Jasonn> i triedd to fix it with the livecd, but that bothered me
[04:23] <bazhang> Jasonn, reinstall sudo?
[04:24] <Jasonn> yes
[04:24] <Jasonn> JUST sudo
[04:24] <[TK]D-Fender> Jasonn: Whats wrong with the one you have?
[04:24]  * rww bites tongue
[04:24] <bazhang> Jasonn, you removed yourself?
[04:24] <sacarlson> Jasonn: did you manage to learn to open and edit the correct /etc/sudoer file?  if so do you know what is needed to be added to make it work for your user?
[04:25] <Jasonn> nope
[04:25] <bazhang> Jasonn, nope to whom
[04:25] <tantalus> ya got yurself into a pickel
[04:25] <Jasonn> to sacarlson
[04:25] <bazhang> Jasonn, then kindly prefix his nick in your responses
[04:25] <Jasonn> sorry
[04:25] <megana> so just type su
[04:26] <megana> and readd yourself?
[04:26] <Jasonn> su = same thing as sudo?
[04:26] <megana> no
[04:26] <sacarlson> Jasonn: so I assume the nope was for the first question.  did you manage to find a way to know what disk you normaly boot from and how to mount that partition?
[04:26] <megana> it just makes you login as root
[04:26] <Jasonn> megana: i messed up the sudoers file
[04:26] <megana> logging in as root is not the same as sudoing
[04:26] <tianshiz> hey guys, question on using crontab. I have the following line: 01 04 * * * /var/www/cron.php under crontab. But for some reason my server never runs the cron. I'm using apache server. Anything blatantly obvious about this problem?
[04:26] <psion> don't manually edit the /etc/sudoer file, use visudo
[04:26] <rww> megana: the root account is not enabled on Ubuntu by default, and enabling it is not supported in this channel. Therefore, su won't work here.
[04:26] <Jasonn> sacarlson: yeah, i got that, and i replaced the file with another one that i wrote up
[04:27] <Jasonn> sacarlson: it didnt work though
[04:27] <bazhang> psion, hes been told numerous times
[04:27] <sacarlson> Jasonn: ok pastebin that file so we might get an idea what error you may have made
[04:27] <megana> psion, this is awesome ;D
[04:27] <psion> bazhang: my apologies
[04:27] <megana> the boxee remote is perfect
[04:27] <bazhang> psion, just a fyi
[04:27] <psion> megana: which boxee remote do you use?
[04:27] <megana> the dlink one
[04:28] <Jasonn> sacarlson: It said that it had the wrong file ID or something
[04:28] <megana> it has the keyboard on the back that I will probably never use
[04:28] <bazhang> Jasonn, paste.ubuntu.com <---- exact error
[04:28] <psion> megana: nice, I use boxee too, in fact I'm watching it right now.  I really want a remote though, right now I just use my android phone
[04:28] <megana> and it smells like a new mother board
[04:28] <psion> megana: can you buy that seperately from the device?
[04:28] <megana> psion, I don't have a boxee just the remote :(
[04:28] <EmuAlert> This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but does anyone know how to adjust the bit settings in GIMP? I'm trying to save an 8-bit .png, but I can't find out how
[04:28] <sacarlson> Jasonn: at what point do you see this wrong file id failure?
[04:28] <Jasonn> bazhang: i closed the window by accident
[04:28] <bazhang> EmuAlert, tried #gimp ?
[04:29] <psion> megana: I don't have a boxee box, I just run it in linux on my HTPC
[04:29] <Jasonn> sacarlson: when i had already replaced the file, had to make a new one because it was read-only
[04:29] <EmuAlert> bazhang: I'll go check that out
[04:29] <sacarlson> Jasonn: we should also take a look at your fdisk -l  to verify you are modifing the correct file on the correct partition
[04:29] <megana> I programmed one :P
[04:29] <psion> megana: where can I find that remote seperate from the dlink boxee thing?
[04:30] <Jasonn> sacarlson: yeah, i had because i saved a file on this HDD (partition) and then
[04:30] <megana> I bought it at J&R
[04:30] <psion> megana: I salivated over pictures of that remote
[04:30] <megana> do you live in manhattan?
[04:30] <psion> nah, indiana
[04:30] <Jasonn> sacarlson: is su the same thing as sudo?
[04:30] <sacarlson> Jasonn: oh IC you must have the security set correctly on the sudoer file or it will not work
[04:30] <megana> I guess you will have to order it through the mail then
[04:30] <rileymat> Hello, is there anyway to disable the gnome-terminal automatically opening a new window on right click?
[04:30] <psion> Jasonn: no, sudo allows a program to be run as root without su'ing
[04:30] <Jasonn> Thank you
[04:30] <sacarlson> Jasonn: yes su is the same it uses the /etc/sudoer file also
[04:31] <Jasonn> Ok
[04:31] <megana> http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DSM-22-Boxee-Remote/dp/B00480OSVK
[04:31] <Jasonn> thank you sooooooooooo much
[04:31] <Jasonn> brb ill report with my problem :)
[04:31] <psion> megana: awesome, thanks
[04:32] <sacarlson> Jasonn: do you know how to set security  with chmod?  and chown?  you should modify the correct /etc/sudoer to the correct security level to operate
[04:32] <megana> psion, how do you put files into your htpc???
[04:33] <_genuser_> hey people
[04:33] <_genuser_> anybody around?
[04:33] <megana> no
[04:33] <psion> megana: it's networked
[04:34] <megana> so you just stick it in a file system?
[04:35] <psion> megana: yeah, I have a couple of external drives hooked up to a net top (eeebox b202) and I have boxee scan a few folders in them for media.  when I download stuff, I download them to those folders
[04:35] <brandon420> ill give someone a dollar to tell me how to mount a .bin/.cue files. mount them as a cd
[04:35] <psion> megana: well it's an application that can run in linux/windows/osx
[04:35] <psion> megana: boxee that is
[04:36] <megana> brandon420 mount it using iso-something as the file system type
[04:36] <sacarlson> brandon420: what format is your .bin file in?
[04:36] <niooins> hello, can someone tell me if ubuntu ppa's use the concept of secure apt like in debian or the packages are unsigned?
[04:36] <megana> and it has to use some kind of loop back option too
[04:36] <brandon420> megana, i tried that. didnt work to well.  sacarlson im not sure, its a game.
[04:36] <rww> niooins: The packages are signed. The GPG key is automatically added if you use add-apt-repository or (I think) Software Sources, and is listed on the PPA page on launchpad.
[04:37] <sacarlson> brandon420: are you sure it can be mounted?
[04:37] <megana> brandon420, so you told it to loop?
[04:37] <sougata_> yaaang, did you solve your problem
[04:37] <psion> brandon420: you can convert it to an iso with ccd2iso
[04:37] <brandon420> sacarlson, if i was on windows, i would be able to mount it with deamontools
[04:37] <brandon420> and i have the iso
[04:37] <yaaang> sougata_: no
[04:38] <brandon420> but when i mount the .iso, its mounted as a folder, not a cd
[04:38] <niooins> rww: thank you
[04:38] <Cryptic> should be able to play with vlc
[04:38] <megana> brandon, but you wouldn't because daemons tools is bad. :P
[04:39] <bazhang> Cryptic, thats video iso
[04:39] <sougata_> you have to add multivers to your soure.list
[04:39] <megana> brandon what do you mean mounted as a folder?
[04:39] <brandon420> megana, but ubuntu gives me the option to not care that its bad
[04:39] <brandon420> its mounted as a folder
[04:40] <brandon420>    /media/nfs
[04:40] <sougata_> yaaang, what are you running , I mean which ubuntu version
[04:40] <megana> everything is mounted as a folder o_O right??
[04:40] <sacarlson> brandon420: sounds like an iso file then,  what error do you get when you do losetup /dev/loop0 example.img ; mount /dev/loop0 /home/you/dir
[04:40] <psion> brandon420: http://maketecheasier.com/mount-iso-bin-and-cue-files-from-nautilus/2009/05/23
[04:40] <sacarlson> brandon420: those will require sudo
[04:41] <brandon420> imma try psions link
[04:41] <brandon420> give me about 5 mins
[04:41] <brandon420> shit man
[04:41] <brandon420> i just wanna play some old school nfs
[04:42] <bazhang> brandon420, no cursing
[04:43] <yaaang> sougata_: 10.04
[04:44] <bezao> how can i show where apt-get will install some packge?
[04:44] <sacarlson> bezao: you can look with synaptic in properties as where each file in the package is installed
[04:45] <bezao> sacarlson cant i say to apt-get instala apache in /bla/apache instead of the default path?
[04:45] <sacarlson> bezao: oh and this will only work after you have installed not before
[04:45] <Jasonn> OK
[04:45] <Jasonn> I think i might have done it
[04:46] <Jasonn> but i need to know how to save and esit via the "visudo" command
[04:46] <bezao> i did not understood sacarlson
[04:46] <Madpilot> bezao, for the most part, just let the system install stuff where it needs to go
[04:46] <Flannel> Jasonn: Is there a line of stuff on the bottom? (^X ^O, etc) or not?
[04:46] <sougata_> yaaang, apt-cache serach python-profiler shows nothing ?
[04:46] <Jasonn> Flannel: yes
[04:47] <bezao> Madpilot sure. but i have something special that i want to be on another path, can i?
[04:47] <bezao> cant* i
[04:47] <_genuser_> anybody having issues with youtube after latest system upgrade on netbuntu?
[04:47] <Flannel> Jasonn: Then ctrl-o to save, and ctrl-x to exit
[04:47] <_genuser_> 10.04.2
[04:47] <_jesse_> bezao: you could compile and install it yourself I suppose
[04:47] <mouse> Does anyone know any magicjack or other voip alternatives or tutorials on it?
[04:47] <Flannel> Jasonn: (that editor is nano)
[04:47] <GodfatherofEire> Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops?
[04:47] <_genuser_> mouse: for dialing in US?
[04:47] <Jasonn> -YES
[04:47] <mouse> _genuser_, Yessir.
[04:47]  * Jasonn hugs Flannel 
[04:48] <Jasonn> THANK YOU
[04:48] <_genuser_> mouse: just use gmail. it's free from computer to any number in teh US for a year.
[04:48] <Jasonn> YOU HAVE SOLVED MY LIFE*s PROBLEMS !
[04:48] <Jasonn> :)
[04:48] <_genuser_> if you use google voice.
[04:48] <mouse> _genuser_, Cool.  How much after that first year?
[04:48] <_genuser_> like .02
[04:48] <mouse> 2 cents a call?
[04:49] <_genuser_> this is for this yr.
[04:49] <_genuser_> who cares about next year's charges.
[04:49] <_genuser_> it's not like google needs to charge you .02 to stay in business.
[04:50] <mouse> _genuser_, Do you need a landline phone?
[04:50] <sougata_> yaaang, you can directly install from here , but I guess there are dependencies http://mirror.soften.ktu.lt/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/p/python-profiler/
[04:50] <mouse> Or other hardware?
[04:50] <randomOfAmber> hello, if I wanted to secure a system that someone else had messed with (intentionally to make it not secure), would 'chmod -R 755 /usr/bin' be a good idea? should I do that elsewhere?
[04:51] <_genuser_> mouse: to call any number from within gmail, just installed the voice plugin from google. In your gmail, it should say on the side to call numbers install plugin.
[04:51] <GodfatherofEire> Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops? Like opening rhythmbox, gwibber, Firefox and nautilus all on separate desktops?
[04:51] <_genuser_> mouse: if it complains you need google voice number, just sign up. it's free. You need at least one number to sign up for google voice.
[04:51] <_genuser_> mouse: https://www.google.com/voice/rates
[04:51] <Madpilot> _genuser_, mouse - google voice is really offtopic for here - PM or #ubuntu-offtopic plz
[04:51] <morgan> stupid question - how do i change a default action for file?
[04:51] <sarah> hey
[04:52] <Jasonn> hey there sarah
[04:52] <Madpilot> morgan, you mean change the default app that opens a particular filetype?
[04:53] <yoaime> x
[04:53] <morgan> madpilot - yeh, somehow my places (most drives/locations) opens an application instead of the location
[04:54] <mouse> _genuser_, Thank you.
[04:54] <jxshxx> I've been reading about tethering methods.  They seem fairly complex for a beginner.  Can anyone suggest a set of simple instructions I may not have run across?
[04:54] <jiltdil> !root
[04:55] <xangua> morgan: create a folder>right clic>open with other>open folder
[04:55] <Jasonn> jiltdil: Please do not use commands to spam the channel, rather do it in a PM to ubottu
[04:56] <BaconAttack> hey everyone. is there anyone who could answer a quick crontab question for me?
[04:56] <Jasonn> !ask | beaconattack
[04:56] <rww> if you ask it, someone might :3
[04:56] <GodfatherofEire> Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops? Like opening rhythmbox, gwibber, Firefox and nautilus all on separate desktops? Running on a dummed down 10.10 server box (i.e. GUI etc)
[04:56] <Jasonn> !ask | BaconAttack
[04:56] <EricBlade> hi guys.  just installed ubuntu, first time i've used linux seriously in about 10 years.  my taskbar panel has a shit-ton of empty space on it, that i apparently can't use for anything except the trashcan icon.  how to solve?
[04:56] <Fluttershy> what's the "problem"?
[04:57] <Fluttershy> you can add a multitude of things to any panel
[04:57] <BlackDragonTechy> EricBlade : Right click it and "Add to panel"
[04:57] <BlackDragonTechy> There is tons of apps that go into the panel
[04:57] <mobile1> exit
[04:57] <EricBlade> yeah, but the problem is, it's empty space. i don't want empty space, i want the taskbar to take ita ll up
[04:57] <Jasonn> !wtf | EricBlade
[04:57] <Madpilot> morgan, very strange... never run into that issue before
[04:58] <BlackDragonTechy> I'm not really sure what you're asking. As your resolution increases there will be empty space in the bars.
[04:58] <EricBlade> ok, the taskbar should not be a fixed width
[04:59] <EricBlade> i added a second taskbar to the second monitor, and it's got a giant amount of empty space on the left and right of it, whereas on the main monitor it's only on the right
[04:59] <GodfatherofEire> Come on, anybody know how or if there's a way to do that? (see previous questions)
[04:59] <mark_> hi need help finding out what wireless network adapter i have
[04:59] <BaconAttack> I have a crontab question. As an introduction to using it, I was told to run 2 commands using cron. Do I have to put the commands into a script or can I just have it run the comman in terminal?
[04:59] <knoxy> hi all.. How the more recommended version of kernel to ubuntu as virtual machine (VMware ESXi) ? 2.6.x.x-server or 2.6.x.x-virtual ?
[04:59] <bazhang> mark_, usb or pci
[04:59] <Jasonn> !wifi | Mark_
[04:59] <Madpilot> morgan, one brute-force thing you can try is delete all of the gnome-panel prefs, which will reset the entire panel - and hopefully the screwed-up Places menu - to default configuration
[04:59] <edbian> mark_, lspci (pastebin it if it confuses you)
[05:00] <jiltdil> jasonn: spam the channel means m just want to understand about root sudo
[05:00] <jiltdil> jasonn:why u called like this?
[05:00] <Flannel> BaconAttack: command1 ; command2 if you want to run them both regardless (command2 after command1), command1 && command2 will run command2 if command1 completes successfully
[05:00] <Koong> Hello, can I ask for support here?
[05:00] <bazhang> Koong, please ask
[05:00] <Jasonn> jiltdil: sorry for that man, its just been a long day, my comp crashed today - twice ..
[05:01] <bazhang> jiltdil, /msg ubottu factoid
[05:01] <Madpilot> Koong, don't ask to ask, just ask!
[05:01] <shmup> ubuntu 10.10. gtx 460. stuck in login loop.
[05:01] <Koong> I'm using ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 on my hp netbook, i'm facing this problem of the panel and taskbar not working.
[05:01] <shmup> login. black screen. beats the drums. back to login screen.
[05:01] <Jasonn> jiltdil: plus, it was just a friendly-reminder
[05:02] <shmup> i can ctrl alt f1, login. stop the gdm service. startx, and i'm on.
[05:02] <jiltdil> jasonn: ok sorry
[05:02] <Koong> i had put the panel orientation at the bottom, and set it to auto hide.
[05:02] <Koong> now it's just stuck there.
[05:02] <shmup> there has got to be someone here that knows what i should do, or point me somewhere heh
[05:02] <BaconAttack> Flannel: maybe I phrased it wrong. What I meant was, if I want cron to execute, say, the "date" command in terminal.. would I need to put the date command into a script in order for cron to run it?
[05:02] <saebbi> when my laptop wakes up after suspend to RAM my touch pad doesn't work anymore. restarting X does not help. even reboot doesn't help. only if i shut it down, then restart it, the touchpad works again. what can i do against that?
[05:02] <Koong> IMy desktop environment is ubuntu desktop edition.
[05:02] <EricBlade> aha, had to delete both of the taskbars, and create two new ones, making sure that i clicked "Add To Panel" in the very first left hand pixel of each one
[05:03] <tmr0_> In 10.10 using fglrx video driver, kernel updated from 2.6.35-25 to -27, boots to terminal in -27, boots to gnome in -25, How to fix?  How to prevent at next kernel update?
[05:03] <Koong> the taskbars are not responding.
[05:03] <Koong> its a blank bar
[05:03] <Abhijit> hi
[05:04] <xangua> !panels | Koong
[05:04] <Flannel> BaconAttack: 'date' itself doesn't make much sense.  You want to incorporate it into another command I presume?
[05:04] <GodfatherofEire> Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops? Like opening rhythmbox, gwibber, Firefox and nautilus all on separate desktops? Running on a dummed down 10.10 server box (i.e. GUI etc)
[05:04] <Flannel> !devilspie | GodfatherofEire
[05:05] <Koong> ubottu how do i access the terminal? i cant click anything. and the bar at down there is flickering and its blank.
[05:05] <GodfatherofEire> Thanks Flannel
[05:05] <edbian> GodfatherofEire, I do not think there is a way to make them open on different desktops though :(
[05:05] <Abhijit> Koong, can you go to ctrl alt f1 ? you can come back from there by ctrl alt f7/8
[05:06] <saebbi> i would not mind disabling suspend to RAM completely as a workaround, if anyone knows how to do that
[05:06] <BaconAttack> Flannel: as an intro to cron, my professor just wants us to run some easy commands to get a basic understanding of it. the first command he wants us to run is "date" and it should be scheduled for every two minutes. I know the scheduling part. I'm just confused to how I actually get terminal commands to run via cron.
[05:06] <GodfatherofEire> edbian, well, ill look around
[05:07] <Koong> Abhijit i pressed ctrl alt f8 and now its a black screen with a blinking white line
[05:08] <Koong> what do i do next? sorry, im new to ubuntu.
[05:08] <Dustin> I'm having an installation issue.  Is anyone available to help?
[05:08] <Flannel> BaconAttack: Oh, you just throw them in the command portion of it.  I guess he expects you to check your mailspool to see its output?
[05:09] <cryptodira> hi folks, can anyone tell me if the failure of the backlit keyboard surviving beyond POST in 10.04 is resolved in 10.10  ... toshiba/amd64/10.04
[05:09] <Koong> Ok, i keyed in the !panels command to the terminal and now the panel is gone.
[05:09] <Koong> What should i do next?
[05:09] <Abhijit> Koong, i ddnt siad ctrl alt f8 that was for returning
[05:09] <_genuser_> so is anyone having issues with youtube after latest update?
[05:09] <_genuser_> on lucid netbuntu
[05:09] <Abhijit> Koong, first you need to press ctrl alt f1
[05:09] <Koong> i did that.
[05:09] <Starn> i have a CR-48 and i want to know how to increase the rate the curser moves. i tried mouse settings but that didn't work.
[05:09] <Koong> now im back to the desktop
[05:10] <Koong> the panel is gone now
[05:10] <BaconAttack> Flannel: He was suppose to give us a tutorial on how to use it but then decided last minute that we should figure it out. Here is part of the instructions. "In order to document the success of your task, take a screenshot of the terminal that shows the output of your cron job over at least 2 executions (4 minutes)."
[05:10] <DavidReza> Hi, I'm looking for a software that shows me the audio frequency graph of a video, so I can make loops in both audio and video. Any suggestions??
[05:10] <Abhijit> Koong, then now agian go to ctrl alt f1 from there login to your account and do that code for pan resetting. the code given by ubottu above
[05:10] <Dustin> I'm trying to set up Ubuntu on my second hard drive in my laptop (which I'm surrently using) but can't get past the login info screen before installation begins.  The Forward button is grayed out and unclickable.  Has anyone seen this problem before?  I've tried four times.
[05:10] <Flannel> !cron | BaconAttack
[05:10] <Flannel> BaconAttack: Take a look at those documents
[05:11] <BaconAttack> Flannel: second link is dead
[05:11] <Koong> gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel  < this?
[05:12] <Abhijit> Koong, yes
[05:12] <Koong> Ok
[05:12] <Koong> done that.
[05:12] <Abhijit> now come back by ctlr alt f7/8
[05:12] <Koong> ok
[05:12] <Koong> now im at the desktop
[05:13] <Koong> the panel is gone now.
[05:13] <Koong> So, how do i recover it back to normal?
[05:13] <Abhijit> O_o
[05:13] <Abhijit> Koong, log off and log in back?
[05:13] <Dustin> I'm trying to set up Ubuntu on my second hard drive in my laptop (which I'm surrently using) but can't get past the login info screen before installation begins.  The Forward button is grayed out and unclickable.  Has anyone seen this problem before?  I've tried installing four times now with no success.  Also, the narwhal bacons at midnight.
[05:14] <Starn> i have a CR-48 and i want to know how to increase the rate the curser moves. i tried mouse settings but that didn't work. anything you guys can think of in command line if nothing else?
[05:14] <SuperPaco69> does any one know how to tranfer a file with the samba protocol??
[05:15] <Abhijit> !samba | SuperPaco69
[05:15] <Jasonn> SuperPaco69: yes
[05:15] <SuperPaco69> Abhijit, no one is tehre

[05:19] <noob645> does anybody know how to install drupal from the repositories?
[05:20] <a> keybord?
[05:20] <milamber> noob645: sudo apt-get install drupal6 ?
[05:20] <noob645> I mean install and configure it with lamp
[05:20] <Abhijit> !drupal
[05:21] <Abhijit> :-[
[05:21] <milamber> noob645: it *should* just install on top of the lamp. do you have lamp up and running?
[05:22] <noob645> @ milamber no I don't
[05:22] <Jasonn> noob645: then start with sudo apt-get install lamp
[05:22] <__yhvh__> if my screen locks while doing an update, does the update continue in the background indefinately?
[05:23] <noob645> @ milamber how about lamp-server^
[05:23] <alpinestars_2002> sudo apt-get has to be the smartest line ever created.
[05:23] <milamber> !info lamp-server
[05:23] <rww> almost as smart as sudo aptitude
[05:23] <Abhijit> !lamp
[05:23] <alpinestars_2002> aptitude is amazing
[05:23] <Jasonn> __yhvh__: depends on the idle settings
[05:23] <alpinestars_2002> so is universe
[05:24] <cryptodira> hi folks, can anyone tell me if the failure of the backlit keyboard surviving beyond POST in 10.04 is resolved in 10.10  ... toshiba/amd64/10.04
[05:24] <milamber> noob645: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
[05:25] <noob645> @ millamber E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:25] <noob645> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[05:25] <milamber> noob645: are you running synaptic?
[05:25] <noob645> @ ah yes
[05:26] <milamber> noob645: you have to close that first

[05:34] <[TK]D-Fender> firtyx: Boot off an Ubuntu CD and go see what's taking up all your space and clean stuff up
[05:34] <firtyx> yes now  im using a live cd
[05:35] <JacobLinuX> How can I get my iPod touch on 4.2.1 to mount on lucid? I have tried using libimobiledevice1, but didn't work. Am I missing something?
[05:35] <[TK]D-Fender> firtyx: So go see what's taking up all your space
[05:36] <Abhijit> !ipod | JacobLinuX
[05:36] <sacarlson> SuperPaco69: you might try ssh file transfer since it works on most platforms
[05:37] <dax> does anyone still use windows along with linux?
[05:37] <SuperPaco69> sacarlson, is a windows box
[05:37] <MRegister>  Can someone help me diagnose why my screens go black after i boot Ubuntu? i dont get any sounds and i have to use ALT+PrtScn+RSENGUB  to reboot
[05:37] <sacarlson> SuperPaco69: windows also suports ssh
[05:38] <firtyx> tkd-fender everything looks the same
[05:38] <dax> scrooloose: you use windows?
[05:38] <[TK]D-Fender> And FTP.  And Samba.
[05:38] <dax> oops
[05:38] <dax> sacarlson: you use windwos
[05:38] <SuperPaco69> and how do I transfer a file with ssh?
[05:38] <xangua> JacobLinuX: months ago see that on webupd8 blog
[05:38] <[TK]D-Fender> firtyx: what do you mean "looks the same"?
[05:38] <PENTIUM3> hehe, you should see some of your nicks in petscii!!
[05:38] <sacarlson> dax: not often but I do have xp, vista, win7 installed in virtualboxes
[05:38] <MRegister> Is the support for ATI really just increadibly terrible??
[05:39] <softcoder> hello
[05:39] <softcoder> need help
[05:39] <softcoder> i have two hard drives
[05:39] <Abhijit> softcoder, ask
[05:39] <softcoder> I installed 10.10 on the new
[05:39] <softcoder> I want to decommission old
[05:39] <softcoder> but I 'think" i need to somehow get grub on the new hd cause when i disocnnect old it won't boot 10.10
[05:39] <JacobLinuX> That doesn't work. The method for 4.2.1 that includes changing from libimobiledevice0 to 1. Still not working
[05:40] <softcoder> old has 9.10
[05:40] <softcoder> what can i do?
[05:40] <Abhijit> softcoder, you said you installed ubuntu on second hdd. then there shoud be grub on second hdd too?
[05:40] <PENTIUM3> softcoder: is the new bigger?
[05:41] <Zorlin> MRegister: pretty much
[05:41] <softcoder> both are same size
[05:41] <Zorlin> MRegister: but patiently wait here, someone will try and help you :)
[05:41] <softcoder> not sure if grub is on new how to know?
[05:41] <PENTIUM3> softcoder: image the old, write that to the new, and upgrade distros.
[05:41] <softcoder> too late for that
[05:42] <softcoder> this was like months ago
[05:42] <softcoder> tons of new stuff on nerw
[05:42] <Abhijit> softcoder, ok do one thing disconnected old one. connect second hdd. boot to live cd and reinstall grub
[05:42] <MRegister> Zorlin: Yea, my current problem is that i cant get ubuntu to load back up. Tried removing the Catalyst Software now i just get a blank screen after POST....
[05:42] <Abhijit> !fixgrub | softcoder
[05:42] <softcoder> ok so how do i get grub on this new hd?
[05:42] <Zorlin> MRegister: I'm not really knowledgeable with Ubuntu, sorry :(
[05:42] <chai16> okay so i have an ipod and a network drive and i want to be able to manage the library of the ipod using the one on my network. but all that i have tried so far are really slow at doing this. i really don't want to copy 100+ gb to my local machine and constantly have to keep it up to date
[05:42] <softcoder> too much noise above
[05:43] <softcoder> grub2 then?
[05:43] <softcoder> right?
[05:43] <PENTIUM3> i still say that some of the symbol heavy nicks are really screwed up in petscii.
[05:43] <MRegister> Zorlin: No prob :P i used to have Nvidia cards, built a new rig and threw ATi in it. just tired of the headache haha
[05:44] <Abhijit> softcoder, yes grub 2
[05:44] <softcoder> let me rephrase, how do i install a boot manager so my 10.10 will boot after i remove the original hd
[05:44] <softcoder> link above will show this?
[05:44] <Abhijit> !fixgrub | softcoder
[05:44] <softcoder> is this a command?
[05:44] <Abhijit> where us ubottu?
[05:44] <Abhijit> ubottu, ping
[05:45] <Abhijit> !fixgrub | softcoder
[05:45] <rigved> softcoder: you can have a seperate 100 MB /boot partition.
[05:46] <PENTIUM3> i am ircing from a commodore 64
[05:46] <softcoder> freak~
[05:46] <softcoder> !
[05:46] <softcoder> and a 1200 baud modem no doubt
[05:46] <psusi> load joke,8,1
[05:46] <chai16> any ideas on what music player will allow me to add tracks to the library from the local network? ftp or smb. also with ipod support?
[05:46] <softcoder> ctrl shift runstop!
[05:47] <PENTIUM3> no, an rr-net ethernet cartridge
[05:47] <PENTIUM3> load"badass",8,1
[05:47] <PENTIUM3> (5 mins l8tr) run
[05:48] <Flannel> PENTIUM3: That's great.  Please take non-Ubuntu support chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[05:48]  * psusi misses his commodore 64... mission impossible... ghostbusters... and whatever that one was where you rode the motorbike around
[05:48] <PENTIUM3> ok
[05:48] <ox3a> I don't know why my network managment option automatic disabled ........ Now i can't connect to internet (wifi)
[05:49] <softcoder> hmm is there a simple 'install grub' command or something
[05:49] <softcoder> this link gives too much info for a simple boot manager!
[05:49] <psusi> softcoder, grub isn't a simple boot manager; it is a good boot manager
[05:49] <view666> nautilus at irc.gnome.org
[05:50] <softcoder> ok, how can i get it on here easily
[05:50] <softcoder> without editing files manually and trashing my hd?
[05:50] <chai16> grub-install softcoder
[05:50] <sacarlson> softcoder: it's a one liner: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice
[05:50] <psusi> softcoder, assuming you have ubuntu already installed to the first partition on the first hard disk, and you are currently booting from the livecd and have /dev/sda1 mounted in /mnt: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
[05:51] <rigved> softcoder: there is a command near the end of that web page which will install grub to the desired hd
[05:51] <ox3a> am i connected to internet or not?
[05:51] <psusi> ox3a, no, we are all figments of your imagination ;)
[05:51] <rigved> softcoder: ^^ psusi
[05:51] <administrator_> hi
[05:51] <softcoder> pigments
[05:51] <ox3a> psusi, oh
[05:54] <afman> Quick question how do you open something in a separate x window? I can see the window and move my mouse into it but I can't get anything to start in it and I'm not allowed to drag anything into it.
[05:56] <sacarlson> afman: if your windows is set to NOT maximized then you should be able to drag it to the desired display
[05:57] <Willkiller> please address community ubuntu brazil
[05:57] <softcoder> oh its lovely
[05:57] <softcoder> thx it worked
[05:57] <softcoder> 1 liner to install grub and i'm on my new hd
[05:57] <softcoder> i love ubuntu!
[05:58] <softcoder> even if it does rip Debian :)
[05:58] <afman> sacarlson: No dice. It's just a blank desktop. It's exactly what this guy describes
[05:58] <Willkiller> please address community ubuntu brazil
[05:58] <afman> http://ubuntuforums.org/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=6187496
[05:58] <afman> Nothing can be dragged to it but my mouse can move into it.
[05:59] <sacarlson> afman: oh vnc?  it may be a security setting,  I'm not sure what your running
[05:59] <Abhijit> !br | Willkiller
[06:00] <sacarlson> afman: I normaly use vino-server and vinagar  that I control from ssh
[06:00] <afman> sacarlson: I've set up my TV via nvidia settings to be a "separate x window"
[06:00] <afman> I'm not using VNC :-D
[06:00] <cyix> Is there a file in my $HOME that asct's like the old DOS autoexec.bat? Stuff keeps loading up when I log in, even tho the Startup Apps>options is turned off
[06:00] <Abhijit> cyix, which stuff?
[06:01] <cyix> xchat, a text editor and a term
[06:01] <Willkiller> tanks
[06:01] <Willkiller> obrigado
[06:02] <Abhijit> cyix, have you by accidentally added them to 'remember currently running applicationo session' under optionos tab in statup aps?
[06:02] <cyix> I did, once, yus, but I have that option unchecked now... is there a file I need to clear?
[06:02] <sacarlson> afman: oh there are many posible settings for that including https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo  xinerama but the one builtin to nvida propraitary should also work but I've never used it
[06:03] <afman> sacarlson: Thanks for the help I just figured it out. The resolution was off and the menus were hidden.
[06:04] <Abhijit> cyix, get clean desktop. no application running. and then save that session and then log off and log in

[06:06] <cyix> kk, was going to do that next =) I found a 'saved state' file but I won't mess with that.
[06:06] <cyix> brb
[06:07] <mado> before you say ... try it out by booting from the CD ... i can't do this ... my friend can't either (at least now)
[06:08] <cyix> Abhijit, thanks, that worked just fine.

[06:09] <sacarlson> mado ok how about just create a bootable usb flash with ubuntu and just try it out
[06:09] <mado> xangua: thanks ... but there's one more problem ... the website i showed you doesn't really specify e.g. what video card / wi-fi / etc ... it uses
[06:10] <mado> sacarlson: ... it's not that :) ... i would boot with a cd if i could ...
[06:10] <mado> my problem is more a distance-problem :)
[06:10] <mado> my friend lives across the ocean
[06:11] <jil> hello
[06:11] <mado> and xangua ... the website you showed me doesn't list any acer-notebook :)
[06:12] <sacarlson> mado tell your freind to create a bootable usb disk and install that, then get him to install ssh so you can remote in to modify it
[06:12] <galamar> i mounted an iso with a windows program on the iso. is there a way to make the iso appear as a disk in drive when looked for by autorun.exe? (this may be a wine question.)

[06:16] <galamar> ok
[06:16] <leapy0yo> hi
[06:16] <leapy0yo> how do i search for a certain package and see if it is installed in the console window?
[06:17] <Abhijit> leapy0yo, apt-cache search <package> and apt-cache policy <package>
[06:17] <sacarlson> galamar: sudo losetup /dev/loop0 example.img; sudo  mount /dev/loop0 /home/you/dir
[06:19] <thevishy> is it possible to extend / resize  a fdisk parition anyone ?
[06:19] <Abhijit> yues you can
[06:19] <Abhijit> use gparted
[06:20] <thevishy> and if we need to add more disks thats not possible unless we use LVM
[06:24] <sacarlson> thevishy: you can always create a loop disk from within another partition in a  file image
[06:24] <thevishy> I see
[06:24] <mutilator> hey all, question, if i did a dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb
[06:24] <pronoblem> moo
[06:25] <mutilator> and i didnt make a partition on sdb so it wasnt copied to sdb1
[06:25] <mutilator> but i can mount /dev/sdb and view files
[06:25] <Kranix> Whenever I try to boot my laptop, it simply says "missing operating system"... How to fix this?
[06:25] <mutilator> is there a way to make that parition afte the fact
[06:25] <mutilator> grub seems to require a partition to be there
[06:26] <Abhijit> akroushan, change ur email password and this account password
[06:26] <akroushan> abhijit: why?
[06:27] <sacarlson> mutilator: you could mount the /dev/sdb  and copy it's contents and move it to the new partitioned location
[06:29] <Abhijit> akroushan, you revealed your password while registering <akroushan> register 9352712274 amit_roushan2001@yahoo.com
[06:30] <akroushan> abhijit: thanks

[06:50] <Ubuntu_JS> sacarlson: thanks, i made a mistake one time and deleted the wrong folder. so this time I am already inside the /home dirrectory.. but i dont want to assume i can just do sudo rm -r me and think it will work
[06:51] <Ishwon> लाइनक्स पर हिन्दी लिखना ज्यादा आसान है।
[06:51] <Abhijit> Ubuntu_JS, you dont need sudo
[06:52] <Abhijit> !en | Ishwon
[06:52] <c_nick> i tried to rename a folder but i dont know what happened it just got deleted but the bad part is i could not find it in Trash Is there a way i can retrieve the file
[06:52] <shafiqissani> salo hindi likhna band karo
[06:52] <Abhijit> Ishwon, the credit gooes to ibus not to linux
[06:52] <milamber> c_nick: what command did you use?
[06:52] <sacarlson> Ubuntu_JS: I sometimes use full path to be sure so it won't mater where your pwd is set
[06:52] <[[thufir]]> how do I fix http://apress.com/book/downloadfile/4045?     chmod +rw FaceletsEssentials/  -Rv      http://pastebin.com/d3E80t0M
[06:53] <Abhijit> !language | shafiqissani
[06:53] <nanovany> #ubuntu-es
[06:53] <c_nick> I pressed F2 then i was renaming then i pressed something by mistake dont know what and it disappeared
[06:53] <Abhijit> !040 | shafiqissani
[06:53] <faryshta> Is someone here familiar with recordmydesktop?
[06:53] <lillecarl> c_nick, you probably renamed it so ubuntu thinks it is a "hidden folder"
[06:53] <nanovany> how can i chnage lenguge?
[06:53] <Ishwon> Abhijit: I meant compared to typing hindi in Windows, it's much much easier in Linux.
[06:53] <Abhijit> nanovany, type /j #ubuntu-es
[06:53] <Ubuntu_JS> sacarlson: so when i set a full path.. it will only remove the last in the path correct?
[06:53] <nanovany> thnaks Abhijit
[06:53] <Ishwon> Linux uses bolnagri... which is phoenetic...
[06:53] <nanovany> :D
[06:54] <c_nick> lillecarl: but Ctrl+H does not show it either ?
[06:54] <sacarlson> Ubuntu_JS: yes
[06:54] <faryshta> !recordmydesktop
[06:54] <Abhijit> Ishwon, yoou can use typwerite layout too, look into ibus preferences
[06:54] <Ishwon> u don't really need a keyboard layout...
[06:54] <Ishwon> when it's phoenetic, typing is faster...
[06:55] <lillecarl> c_nick, tried to search for it, nothing does ever dissapear i hope you know that ;)
[06:55] <c_nick> lillecarl: yep ubuntu never deletes it just replaces .. but what i am wondering is.. how will i search
[06:55] <c_nick> cause if it got renamed its god knows what
[06:56] <c_nick> is there a way i can find last edited files or something
[06:56] <lillecarl> in wich directory were the files?

[06:59] <c_nick> milamber:  yes ls -a all to see hidden files yes done that too
[06:59] <lillecarl> Jackneill, you dont install a tar file
[06:59] <Jackneill> it was .tar.gz but i use tar xfvz to create a .tar file
[06:59] <Jackneill> or the folder is created
[07:00] <lillecarl> Jackneill, the installable files is balled "deb"
[07:00] <c_nick> Jackneill: what happens when u double click on it
[07:00] <milamber> c_nick: find ~/Desktop -mtime -1 -ls
[07:00] <lillecarl> c_nick, did you try ls -a it could show something useful
[07:00] <c_nick> lillecarl: yeah not really helped
[07:00] <Jackneill> it's a tar.gz file, and i used 'tar xfvz fwefwe.ta.gz' command
[07:00] <Jackneill> and created a folder
[07:00] <lillecarl> to sad :/
[07:00] <nanovany> how can I run Resident 4 on ubuntu?
[07:00] <Jackneill> and then?
[07:00] <Jackneill> make, and make install?
[07:01] <nanovany> I used wine, but it works so slow!!
[07:01] <freakabcd> in gnome-volume-preferences, i can see 2 devices "internal audio" and "quickcam for dell notebooks" but in the Input tab, i *cannot* select the Quickcam mic
[07:01] <Jackneill> many .so file
[07:01] <c_nick> Jackneill: what exactly you want to do .. just untar it thats all right
[07:01] <milamber> Jackneill: there are tons of different options. what is the package/code you downloaded?
[07:01] <Jackneill> yep i untared
[07:01] <c_nick> then shouldn't by default double clicking show you archieve manager ??
[07:01] <Brandon_> I was installing 10.10, and it hung at "Configuring Hardware"  here is the exact command. "Generating /boot/initrd.img.6.35-22-generic"
[07:01] <Jackneill> tor
[07:01] <milamber> !compile | Jackneill
[07:02] <Jackneill> !package
[07:02] <milamber> !info tor
[07:02] <Jackneill> hm
[07:02] <Jackneill> i use maverick

[07:02] <c_nick> milamber: he is basically trying to untar something i presume
[07:02] <Jackneill> tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-1.1.4-dev-en-US.tar.gz
[07:02] <Brandon_> can someone help me please?
[07:02] <Jackneill> i untared
[07:02] <milamber> then cd into the directory and try ./configure
[07:03] <Jackneill> now it's a folder
[07:03] <Jackneill> ok milamber
[07:03] <sacarlson> c_nick: you might try the package recover or in synaptic search for undel  and 5 packages with tools to undelete stuf will apear
[07:03] <dtrf4837> Display doesn't appear in my administration menu. how do i fix that?
[07:03] <Jackneill> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[07:04] <milamber> c_nick: did that find command return anything?
[07:04] <xorxorxor> what are some utilities on ubuntu if i wanted to graph a few 3d vectors?
[07:04] <milamber> Jackneill: 1 sec, dl now
[07:05] <dtrf4837> Display doesnt appear in my Preferences menu I meant
[07:05] <c_nick> milamber: searching
[07:05] <Jackneill> ok
[07:06] <milamber> c_nick: and if it really is deleted, read up on foremost and scalpel
[07:06] <Corleone> hi, how do i give my server a static IP address from my wireless router?
[07:06] <fidyduce> ok so i used the "DD" command on my usb the other day and now i can not clear it and reformat it to FAT, help please....
[07:07] <c_nick> no undel in synaptic
[07:07] <milamber> Jackneill: ./start-tor-browser
[07:08] <qlue-ubuntu> c_nick: you should try photorec to recover something thats deleted
[07:08] <c_nick> qlue-ubuntu: not in synaptic
[07:09] <Jackneill> ok milamber
[07:09] <dubbe> Corleone: Usually you can lock one ip to your server's mac-adress
[07:09] <milamber> Jackneill: that work?
[07:09] <Jackneill> i paste the error
[07:10] <Jackneill> http://ideone.com/BgU5n
[07:10] <c_nick> i found e2undel but thats for ext2 file system while mine is ext4
[07:10] <c_nick> will that work
[07:11] <Corleone> dubbe: how?
[07:11] <_Ray_> Hey :) I have an old Feisty Fawn CD which I used to install Ubuntu on an IBM ThinkPad. What's the easiest way to upgrade this to Lucid Lynx? Trying System -> Administration -> Update Manager fails with a 404 on the repository indexes.
[07:11] <dubbe> Corleone: that depends on the router
[07:12] <milamber> Jackneill: you seem to be one level below where the script is. the extracted folder should be named: tor-browser_en-US, so you have to cd to that directory
[07:12] <qlue-ubuntu> c_nick photorec is part of testdisk package
[07:13] <[[thufir]]> how do I fix http://apress.com/book/downloadfile/4045?     chmod +rw FaceletsEssentials/  -Rv      http://pastebin.com/d3E80t0M
[07:13] <yuanyelele> Hi everyone! Unchecking "consider recommended packages as dependencies" hangs synaptic. Do I expected to wait for a long time?
[07:13] <[[thufir]]> yuanyelele: I
[07:13] <[[thufir]]> yuanyelele: I'm not sure, but why do that?
[07:14] <c_nick> ok installing testdisk
[07:14] <rww> !eol | _Ray_
[07:14]  * _Ray_ follows second link, thanks :)
[07:14] <Corleone> dubbe: can i not request static ip from my server?
[07:14] <yuanyelele> [[thufir]]: I want to install as few packages as possible
[07:15] <_Ray_> "You will not need to upgrade to 7.x. At the time of writing this is not an EOL upgrade." :s Feisty is 7.04
[07:15] <dubbe> Corleone: again it depends on the router, but i don't think it is possible on most routers
[07:15] <SirCane> Corleone you can add mac address to dhcp conf to give the same ip each time
[07:15] <amagee> hey, how do i configure grub so that it will append "acpi=off" to the kernel line by default?
[07:15] <_Ray_> Ah, nm, I was reading it wrong. :)
[07:16] <[[thufir]]> yuanyelele: well, you might to try from the CLI for better results as well as something you can pastebin.  hard to pastebin a GUI
[07:16] <c_nick> ubuntu server down :(
[07:16] <SirCane> Corleone but most home routers will try to issue the same ip for known mac addresses anyway, but few allow you to set an ip to a mac address. best thing to do it just set a static ip manually on the client
[07:17] <fidyduce> i downloaded the openbox window manager and now i can not figure it out how to get it started.... any suggestions?
[07:17] <Corleone> SirCane: yes, how would i do that?
[07:18] <SirCane> Corleone check your current dynamic ip settings with ifconfig then http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-static-ip/ try this
[07:19] <SirCane> substute your network setting ofc
[07:19] <Corleone> SirCane: yeah i removed it from my DHCP from my router, no connection now :/
[07:21] <asdfqwer> nautilus copy > windows copy
[07:22] <dtrf4837> how do i make Display appear in my Preferences menu?
[07:22] <asdfqwer> right click > edit menu
[07:23] <asdfqwer> otherwise if the menu item isn't there you might have to use gconfeditor or something
[07:23] <ruan> dtrf4837: isn't it called Monitors?
[07:24] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, yeah what is your "display"
[07:25] <dtrf4837> ruan i'm confused because there's Monitors in my menu but i also see 'Display' when i look it up on the web. i just thought if i tried Display i might have better luck with fixing the screen resolution
[07:25] <asdfqwer> i honestly try not to bother "over-tweaking" gnome when the result is somewhat trivial
[07:25] <asdfqwer> costs a lot of time
[07:25] <asdfqwer> are you using nvidia drivers?
[07:25] <asdfqwer> or special display drivers?
[07:26] <asdfqwer> for me my display settings are in admin > nvidia display settings
[07:27] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer i dont see display in administration either...just looking for a way to get my monitor to be detected
[07:28] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, dual monitors?
[07:28] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer no just one
[07:28] <asdfqwer> do you know what kind of graphics card you have?
[07:28] <[biabia]> does dpkg check and satisfy dependencies when used to install?  -i
[07:28] <parapan> hi there fellows > a DVD re-authoring for linux software - do you have any clue ???
[07:28] <asdfqwer> so you're in recovery mode or fail-safe settings?
[07:28] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer no i dont how do i find out what kind of card i have?
[07:29] <bazhang> parapan, to show on standalone dvd players?
[07:29] <asdfqwer> so basically you see nothing?
[07:29] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer i'm in normal mode
[07:29] <bazhang> parapan, or to rip from dvd
[07:29] <asdfqwer> is ubuntu up to date?
[07:29] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer cant go beyond 800 x 600
[07:29] <asdfqwer> admin > update manager
[07:30] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer ubuntu 10.10, updated
[07:30] <bazhang> parapan, devede for the first, ogmrip for the second
[07:30] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, go to admin > hardware drivers
[07:30] <parapan> bazhang: I want to put 2 DVD's on a single medium and then play the result with standalone player , yes
[07:31] <bazhang> asdfqwer, its additional drivers assuming hes using 10.10
[07:31] <asdfqwer> ah okay
[07:31] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, ^
[07:31] <bazhang> parapan, so use ogmrip then devede
[07:31] <asdfqwer> you see it?
[07:32] <bazhang> parapan, both are in the repos , install from there
[07:32] <parapan> bazhang:
[07:32] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer i tried Additional Drivers it says 'no proprietary drivers are in use on this system'
[07:33] <bazhang> dtrf4837, whats the card
[07:33] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, yeah select the recommended driver and click activate
[07:33] <parapan> bazhang: but why to rip first ? the movies are already in DVD format ...I just want to put them together on the same disc ....
[07:33] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer i dont know the card, how do i find out?
[07:33] <asdfqwer> doesn't matter
[07:33] <bazhang> dtrf4837, lspci to paste.ubuntu.com
[07:33] <asdfqwer> ubuntu should be able to detect the recommended driver
[07:34] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, does it not make a recommendation?
[07:34] <bazhang> parapan, by dvd format, you mean iso? or what
[07:34] <parapan>  bazhang: DVD format = Video and Audio folders / structure
[07:34] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer no it just says 'no proprietary drivers...' and nothing else
[07:34] <bazhang> dtrf4837, tell us the card please
[07:35] <Cryptanalyst> How can I find out how much of a hard drive is used in ubuntu server
[07:35] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, type this in terminal
[07:35] <dtrf4837> bazhang how do i find out what card?
[07:35] <asdfqwer> lspci -v | grep VGA
[07:35] <asdfqwer> paste result
[07:35] <bazhang> dtrf4837, I told you
[07:35] <dtrf4837> ok
[07:35] <dtrf4837> sorry
[07:37] <asdfqwer> shouldn't additional drivers detect and recommend something in 10.10?
[07:37] <asdfqwer> like for me i just get 3 different nvidia revisions
[07:37] <bazhang> asdfqwer, not if its intel or a really old card
[07:37] <asdfqwer> ahh
[07:38] <dtrf4837> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[07:38] <vish> even for ati i dont get suggests, and its not an old card ;p
[07:38] <asdfqwer> looks like an onboard card
[07:38] <dtrf4837> yes it is
[07:38] <dtrf4837> onboard
[07:38] <asdfqwer> laptop?
[07:38] <dtrf4837> desktop
[07:38] <asdfqwer> hmm
[07:39] <asdfqwer> what do you see again after running "additional drivers"
[07:39] <asdfqwer> can you select and activate anything?
[07:39] <milamber> parapan: you are not being clear. are you saying you have the audio and video ts folders for two separate movies?
[07:39] <binspace_> Hello, anybody know of any good asset packing web services out there?
[07:39] <parapan> milamber: indeed
[07:40] <parapan> milamber:  and I want them on the same disc
[07:40] <binspace_> if not, I got a project :-)
[07:40] <milamber> parapan: what are the total sizes for the filesystems?
[07:41] <vish> re-opening additional drivers isnt going to show any new drivers if there arent any..  dtrf4837: try googling for that card and drivers, my guess is that the card is not fully supported.
[07:41] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer there's a long square and underneath theres a big square, then on the bottom it says 'help' and 'close'. theres also 'enable' but its not activated so i cant click on it
[07:41] <parapan> milamber: 3,7 Gb
[07:41] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, yes just enable it
[07:41] <asdfqwer> will probably require you to restart gdm or reboot altogether
[07:41] <milamber> parapan: if you are going to play them on a computer you can just burn them directly. are you trying to create one movie?
[07:42] <parapan> milamber: I want them - both movies - to be able to play in a standalone ....not PC
[07:42] <vish> dtrf4837: is there any list of alternate drivers mentioned in that window?
[07:42] <dgirz> salut ubuntois
[07:43] <vish> dtrf4837: if it is blank, it means there isnt any alternate driver to offer
[07:43] <milamber> parapan: does the target support dvd format?
[07:43] <asdfqwer> i remember how hard it was like ~4 years ago to configure ubuntu display
[07:43] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7075501&postcount=14 dtrf4837
[07:43] <dtrf4837> vish no all i see is what i described...and again, i cant click on 'enable'
[07:43] <vish>  right, thats a blank list
[07:43] <asdfqwer> dtrf4837, i gtg though
[07:43] <asdfqwer> good luck
[07:43] <bazhang> dtrf4837, you'll have to copy that to your xorg.comf
[07:44] <dtrf4837> asdfqwer ok thanks for trying
[07:44] <asdfqwer> np
[07:44] <milamber> !info qdvdauthor | parapan this is probably what you are looking for
[07:44] <bazhang> whoops conf
[07:44] <asdfqwer> make sure you backup your xorg.conf to bazhang dtrf4837
[07:44] <parapan> milamber: if I copy both movies on the DVD, the stand alone player will see only the first one; even if stopped or whatever, it does not show me the structure of the DVD ...it starts to play directly the first movie
[07:44] <Jackneill> milamber sorry i was away :( i was that dir when i used the command
[07:44] <milamber> parapan: qdvdauthor is what you want
[07:45] <parapan> milamber: I'll give-it a try ...but it seems so complex ..I wanted something like 1/2/3 to be able to achieve this ...
[07:45] <bazhang> dtrf4837, doubtful youll get compiz with that card though, #compiz for confirmation
[07:45] <milamber> Jackneill: repost the link? i thought you were in the apps directory when you ran it which was one too far.
[07:46] <dtrf4837> actually for me it was a bit easier for me to fix when i tried ubuntu few years ago...now they changed this xorg thing so i keep getting stuck
[07:46] <Jackneill> ok wait  sec
[07:46] <bazhang> parapan, what I suggested is very easy
[07:46] <dtrf4837> bazhang ok i'll check out that link
[07:47] <mutilator> sudo su root
[07:47] <milamber> parapan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVDAuthoring
[07:47] <bazhang> mutilator, no
[07:47] <milamber> mutilator: that's usually a no go here
[07:47] <Jackneill> http://ideone.com/GWVbs here
[07:47] <bazhang> mutilator, sudo -i for a root shell if you must
[07:48] <milamber> !pastebin
[07:48] <milamber> Jackneill: can you try it there? there's something weird w/ the encoding, i can't really see what it says
[07:49] <parapan> milamber: I saw that thanks ....however , not quite sure about the result ..searching this topic on the net resulted that what i need is re-authoring a DVD - cause I'm not building a DVD from different video sequence ..I already have a DVD format for each movie .......
[07:49] <mutilator> anyone know what causes the 'can not mount /dev/loop0 on the livecd?
[07:50] <milamber> parapan: qdvdauthor is probably going to be your best bet, i was just providing alternatives.
[07:50] <Jackneill> milamber i trying another encodding ok
[07:51] <barberan> Does anyone have Linksys WRT160 ?
[07:51] <Fwb2700> Hey can someone help me to get my laptop with 10.10 to connect to my wifi
[07:51] <dtrf4837> bazhang oh yeah just so you know when i first installed 10.10 i had full resolution. somewhere along the line it just changed to 800 x 600
[07:52] <bazhang> Fwb2700, whats the chipset
[07:52] <Jackneill> milamber, i dont find any good encoding :s
[07:52] <Fwb2700> bazhang: How do I find that out? New to ubuntu and internal components
[07:53] <bazhang> Fwb2700, usb or pci? lsusb for the first lspci the second  --> paste.ubuntu.com
[07:53] <Fwb2700> Its a laptop built in wireless
[07:53] <bazhang> Fwb2700, and please paste the output of ifconfig as well
[07:53] <bazhang> Fwb2700, we need the chipset
[07:54] <dano> hi
[07:54] <Fwb2700> bazhang: How do I find out thechipset. Can I have specific instructions
[07:54] <bazhang> Fwb2700, I just told you
[07:55] <bazhang> Fwb2700, usb or pci? lsusb for the first lspci the second  --> paste.ubuntu.com
[07:55] <milamber> Jackneill: i think it's giving me the same issue, 1 sec
[07:55] <Fwb2700> bazhang: Its a laptop its built in to the motherboard
[07:56] <bazhang> Fwb2700, so run those commands in the terminal and paste.ubuntu.com with them
[07:56] <dtrf4837> bazhang im checking out the link but i see this is from couple years ago so i'm not sure its gonna work because i hear they since did away with xorg.conf
[07:57] <Fwb2700> bazhang: I don't have any Internet access on my laptop.only my iPhone which is how I talking now
[07:57] <bazhang> dtrf4837, you can still paste in your own
[07:57] <dtrf4837> ok
[07:57] <bazhang> Fwb2700, then copy it down and pastebin it
[07:58] <Fwb2700> Its huge
[07:58] <bazhang> Fwb2700, look for wireless controller like atheros broadcom or the like
[07:59] <Fwb2700> bazhang: Ar5001
[07:59] <bazhang> !atheros > Fwb2700
[08:00] <bin_bash> !swap
[08:00] <bazhang> Fwb2700, what does ifconfig show; eth0 lo and wlan0
[08:02] <Fwb2700> bazhang: Eth0 and l0 but no wlan0. It says at top device not ready
[08:03] <bazhang> Fwb2700, so check the wifi docs linked to you
[08:03] <indecipherable> I wanted to remove a user from access unwanted commands. I made a new bash script and placed it in local/bin to echo "command no active"; I was hoping it would call that command first. Is it okay to rename or move commands found in /usr/bin to another directory and replace them with a bash script?
[08:04] <dtrf4837> bazhang ok i copied and pasted /etc/X11/xorg.conf in terminal and it says 'bash: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No suck file or directory'
[08:05] <bazhang> dtrf4837, copied how, what was the exact command you gave
[08:05] <Fwb2700> Doesnt help
[08:06] <dtrf4837> bazhang i copied the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' command and pasted it in terminal
[08:07] <_Ray_> Hi :) I'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Feisty , but there's no step after "Make sure we can continue upgrading"? How do I proceed after running that perl script?
[08:07] <bazhang> dtrf4837, pastebin the exact command please
[08:08] <iceroot> indecipherable: unwanted commands like?
[08:08] <dtrf4837> bazhang but that was the exact command
[08:08] <bazhang> dtrf4837, thats not a command
[08:09] <_Ray_> Ah, nevermind, the formatting confused me - it seemed everything after that subtitle was part of it.
[08:09] <abstrakt> does vim have a default place to put extra system wide system scripts? ala /usr/local but for vim?
[08:10] <iceroot> abstrakt: /etc/vim/vimrc
[08:10] <abstrakt> ice799, that's a folder?
[08:11] <iceroot> abstrakt: that is the global vim-config
[08:11] <abstrakt> iceroot, right, I know what vimrc is, but I mean ~/.vim/
[08:11] <abstrakt> but the system wide equivalent
[08:12] <iceroot> abstrakt: i would guess /etc/vim  maybe have a look at #vim also
[08:12] <abstrakt> yeah I'm asking in #vim concurrently
[08:12] <win189> hi i would like a quick hand im trying to get my ubuntu server to run ssh so i can access it from my main pc any one know the command

[08:14] <win189> so i assume its not running
[08:14] <abstrakt> win189, is it ubuntu server?
[08:14] <dtrf4837> bazhang sorry i misunderstood, i'll try to figure it out
[08:14] <win189> ya
[08:14] <abstrakt> win189, iptables?
[08:15] <win189> sorry but i forgot 90% of command line
[08:15] <gemclip> i am trying to install a script and it says to add the XXX.sh file into the source repository. Where would I physicly put the file. sorry I am just learning
[08:15] <win189> ben useing grumbles (windblows cause of work)
[08:16] <abstrakt> win189, firewall... do you have any firewall rules blocking access?
[08:16] <abstrakt> I suppose it would be hard to check if you can't ssh in in the first place :P
[08:16] <abstrakt> win189, is this a box that you have physical access to?
[08:16] <win189> yes
[08:16] <win189> its behind me lol

[08:21] <gemclip> sure: i am trying to install awn. it is a dock app. I got that installed ok through the ubuntu software manager but they have a awn-extras tar package I downloaded to my desktop and extracted. Now I am just trying to get it installed. I think i have to MAKE something but IDK too new I think

[08:27] <insmod> long time linux user 16yrs new gnome user -- normally fluxbox widowmaker cde xfce etc gnome was great in solaris and others but sucks in ubuntu (compared) so I figured it out -- 10.10 runs compiz ans the manager which is slow and (bad) on some machines -- I changed it back to metacity  works great --- now Unity ohh crap i hate it and gnome3 isn't so good what to do?   back to fluxbox i guess
[08:27] <visual1ce> 46gb in ~14K secs
[08:28] <bazhang> gemclip, much easier to add ppa to repo than compile
[08:28] <visual1ce> is it because i'm running from live cd?
[08:28] <Tyto> Labas
[08:28] <bazhang> insmod, actual support question there?
[08:28] <gemclip> bazhang thank you i didnt see that
[08:28] <bazhang> gemclip, welcome
[08:28] <Tyto> hi
[08:28] <visual1ce> why do u say gnome3 isnt so good? besides i think natty is shipping with unity
[08:28] <dtrf4837> how do i access xorg.conf?
[08:29] <Tyto> Hi all
[08:29] <insmod> bazhang: yup need a better alternative
[08:29] <Tyto> Whats  your operating system?
[08:29] <bazhang> dtrf4837, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   copy the contents of that link then save it and reboot
[08:29] <bazhang> Tyto, Ubuntu.
[08:30] <Tyto> My Ubuntu 10.04 lts
[08:30] <bazhang> Tyto, this is ubuntu support, got a support question?
[08:30] <Tyto> im from Lithuania
[08:30] <visual1ce> insmod whats wrong with gnome3?
[08:30] <geev8> i need to setup domain controller for my small business network with 50 users using ubuntu server what is the sequence of pakge do i needto istall firs
[08:30] <visual1ce> too much like kde?
[08:31] <Tyto> sudo apt-get install gnome 3
[08:31] <dtrf4837> bazhang theres no content its empty?
[08:31] <insmod> visual1ce: wel just ran it a bit but it seems... to bloated for my liking
[08:31] <bazhang> dtrf4837, nonetheless it will be used
[08:31] <insmod> visual1ce: like kde
[08:31] <visual1ce> can't you install like a gnome3-core?
[08:32] <visual1ce> and then add the apps you want?
[08:32] <Skater0guy> i set my burner to 4x but the estimated speed says 10x
[08:32] <insmod> visual1ce: i like fast xfce fluxbox etc
[08:32] <visual1ce> i see...
[08:32] <visual1ce> dont like xubuntu?
[08:33] <insmod> visual1ce: no i don't like how it is set up -- much rather install debian or ubuntu then xfce
[08:33] <dtrf4837> bazhang i dont understand...its empty how do i copy it?
[08:33] <insmod> visual1ce: like zevonOS
[08:34] <insmod> visual1ce: ubuntu 10.10 is great with metacity
[08:34] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7075501&postcount=14 dtrf4837 the contents of that to your blank xorg.conf
[08:34] <visual1ce> insmod i'm doing a dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda on an ssd and its taking very long... 4 hours for 46GB
[08:35] <visual1ce> is that normal?
[08:35] <insmod> visual1ce: but they are going to unity -- that blows and gnome 3 ... gahh
[08:35] <Skater0guy> so whos trying to crack netflix
[08:35] <visual1ce> unity looks pretty much the same as gnome2 to me but ive only seen screenshots
[08:35] <bazhang> Skater0guy, no one
[08:35] <visual1ce> at least the panels look the same
[08:35] <insmod> visual1ce: is it fat or ntfs?
[08:36] <visual1ce> i don't think it really matters
[08:36] <SwedeMike> visual1ce: what speed do you get if you of to /dev/null ? what about increasing block size? why do you need random anyway, why not just /dev/zero ?
[08:36] <insmod> visual1ce: anoying side launcher
[08:36] <ruan> all of the sounds in my games are delayed by 1 second, how can i fix this? it doesn't happen in wine
[08:37] <insmod> visual1ce: ya fat can't do over 4gigs and ntfs may .. well be just that
[08:37] <SwedeMike> visual1ce: I only get 6 megabyte/s from /dev/urandom anyway, that's probably your problem.
[08:37] <visual1ce> what kinda drive are you running?
[08:37] <visual1ce> or is it also dependent upon cpu?
[08:37] <SwedeMike> visual1ce: c2d 2.4ghz.
[08:37] <leg-monster> names
[08:38] <visual1ce> should i use a particular block size to speed it up with /dev/null?
[08:38] <SwedeMike> visual1ce: and I'm not using a drive, I'm sending the output to /dev/null for testing.
[08:38] <visual1ce> oh
[08:38] <SwedeMike> visual1ce: no, block size didn't seem to change anything.
[08:38] <SwedeMike> I tried 1k and 1M
[08:38] <visual1ce> thx
[08:38] <SwedeMike> visual1ce: so if you want speed, use /dev/zero as source instead
[08:38] <timh____> what file do I need to edit to change the env for all terminals?
[08:39] <gh0st> how do I get custom images to change on my desktop every x minutes like the space desktop images?

[08:39] <ruan> all of the sounds in my games are delayed by 1 second, how can i fix this?
[08:39] <timh____> bash
[08:40] <insmod> timh____: that is default
[08:40] <visual1ce> insmod is that sidepanel always visible? like if you maximize a window does it maximize over it?
[08:40] <SwedeMike> timh____: look into .login , most should run that.
[08:41] <timh____> is that ~/.login?
[08:41] <visual1ce> 19.4 MB/s
[08:41] <visual1ce> ...
[08:41] <insmod> visual1ce: nope just makes the screen smaller -- and if you kill it it destroys the desktop
[08:41] <SwedeMike> timh____: yes.
[08:41] <insmod> smaller
[08:41] <visual1ce> swedemike thx for the tip
[08:41] <visual1ce> im running a laptop - that wont work for me
[08:42] <visual1ce> ill probably check it out on a vm when its released
[08:42] <insmod> timh: there is no ./login
[08:43] <timh____> insmod I just noticed that.  Other systems used .xinitrc for that.
[08:43] <visual1ce> can somebody please explain the ^ and $ in this: pgrep -l '^dd$'
[08:43] <ceo> hai am miss my boot loader
[08:43] <ceo> couse am have install xp on my ubuntu

[08:43] <ceo> any can help me...
[08:43] <rww> visual1ce: ^ matches the beginning of a line, $ matches the end.

I have a machine running a samba server, and I can access it from my windows machine and from my mac, but for some reason when accessing the network from my Ubuntu desktop, I can see the machine name, but not the shares. Could anyone tell me where I have gone wrong?

[09:23] <visual1ce> is it true that the left icon area in unity is always on top?
[09:23] <ruan> novitololo: did you set it to boot from usb?
[09:23] <novitololo> yep, actually
[09:23] <novitololo> I excluded the hard disk option
[09:24] <ruan> novitololo: i think you can include the hard disk option
[09:24] <ray_> Is there an icon for DBGL?
[09:24] <the_drow> hello
[09:25] <ray_> hello
[09:25] <livingdaylight> Avé novitololo
[09:25] <novitololo> ruan: yes, I can. I just did it so it didn't jump into windows, because it doesn't recognize the USB
[09:25] <novitololo> livingdaylight: Av?
[09:25] <the_drow> I can't boot my linux anymore. I've installed it using wubi and not I am getting a bash like command line called GRUB. What do I need to do?

[09:28] <root786> hi
[09:28] <root786> hi friends
[09:28] <the_drow> and my grub folder is now empty
[09:28] <root786> i need a help from you
[09:28] <tom453642356> Could someone help with printer? I would like a page that lists Ubuntu 10.04 Printers that work OUT OF THE BOX - no downloads or any other tweaking
[09:29] <neil_d> milamber: thanks
[09:29] <airtonix> tom453642356: that depends on your printer
[09:29] <the_drow> so this is why I am getting GRUB. I have no menu.lst
[09:29] <the_drow> How do I create one in windows?
[09:29] <root786> i need to install ettercap in backtrack os but unable to do it, can anybody help me
[09:30] <airtonix> root786: backtrack is not supported here
[09:30] <tom453642356> airtonix: I haven't bought printer yet! I would like to advise my friend who knows nothing about computers what printer to buy
[09:30] <airtonix> tom453642356: then you ought to read the CUPS website
[09:30] <ruan> the_drow: you'll need to repair the bootloader with livecd
[09:31] <the_drow> ruan: what's livecd?
[09:31] <ruan> the_drow: how did you install ubuntu>
[09:31] <root786> but i want to know how to install a application, it happens with install.sh ryt? but when i click it, nothing happens
[09:31] <the_drow> ruan: wubi
[09:31] <airtonix> root786: backtrack is not supported here
[09:32] <airtonix> root786: you can install ettercap in ubuntu via the repositories
[09:32] <root786> to which server should i connect to get the info?
[09:32] <the_drow> ruan: so what's next?
[09:32] <ruan> !grub
[09:32] <tom453642356> the cups web site is pretty hopeless. firstly it says "CUPS is the standards-based, open source printing system developed by Apple Inc. for Mac OS® X and other UNIX®-like operating systems."
[09:33] <MaRk-I> tom453642356: this "might" help http://linuxhcl.com/browse/search?offset=0&category=14&manufacturer=&rating=&os=1&order-by=&keywords=
[09:33] <tom453642356> cups web site doesn't have list of recommended printers that i could see
[09:34] <tom453642356> linuxhcl.com looks good although its not ubuntu specific
[09:34] <the_drow> ruan: already read them
[09:34] <the_drow> I'm not much of a sysadmin
[09:35] <airtonix> tom453642356: it doesn't have to be ubuntu specific
[09:35] <ruan> the_drow: yeah you need a super grub disk/livecd to repair it
[09:35] <tom453642356> well if i tell my friend to spend $200 on a printer and it don't work i won't be very popular
[09:35] <the_drow> btw, I have the latest version of ubuntu. Does it mean I have grub2?
[09:35] <tom453642356> i'll use the info on linuxhcl.com
[09:36] <tom453642356> thank you for that
[09:36] <win189> ?????mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,

[09:36] <win189> (sorry it was suposed to go as one line message
[09:36] <tom453642356> i just noticed linuxhcl has operating system = ubuntu
[09:36] <tom453642356> thank you very much
[09:36] <airtonix> tom453642356: your threats mean nothing to me
[09:36] <tom453642356> looks like that will give me the answer
[09:37] <airtonix> tom453642356: btw, you didn't look very hard: http://www.cups.org/ppd.php
[09:37] <the_drow> oh goddamit I need a cdr. Got none :/
[09:37] <gemclip> any idea why I would keed disconnecting from my wireless ap every 3-4 minutes and I iave to click reconnect? It happens on 3 diffrent wireless cards. I think it may be a setting somewhere. If i run ping in the background it stays connected while I surf but as soon as I quit pinging it drops again
[09:38] <airtonix> tom453642356: i see you have yet to grasp the concept of what CUPS is.
[09:38] <tom453642356> Common Unix Printing System
[09:38] <ruan> lol
[09:38] <airtonix> tom453642356: yeah not Common Ubuntu Printing System
[09:39] <dtrf4837> how do i boot to desktop from command line?
[09:39] <tom453642356> i guess everyone is happy to trust APPLE with printing
[09:39] <airtonix> tom453642356: what's your point ?
[09:39] <tom453642356> APPLE aren't very good at open source
[09:39] <tom453642356> i suppose they are better than microsoft
[09:39] <rww> tom453642356: Yup. They bought CUPS, they can fund it. If they start being problematic, someone'll fork it. Not a big deal.
[09:42] <ruan> dtrf4837: how did you get to the command line?
[09:42] <tom453642356> thanks for your help
[09:43] <dtrf4837> ruan sometimes i boot into recovery mode and i have trouble booting back into desktop
[09:44] <tolga> command to fix broken packages please
[09:44] <ruan> dtrf4837: startx
[09:45] <gemclip> any idea why I would keep disconnecting from my wireless ap every 3-4 minutes and I have to click reconnect? It happens on 3 diffrent wireless cards. I think it may be a setting somewhere. If i run ping in the background it stays connected while I surf but as soon as I quit pinging it drops again. Any help for this newbie would be great
[09:45] <milamber> tolga: how is it broken?
[09:46] <tolga> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[09:46] <tolga> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[09:46] <ruan> tolga: is another process using it?
[09:46] <dejan_> hi, pls list some web editors
[09:46] <bazhang> tolga, close other instances of apt
[09:46] <tolga> god knows
[09:46] <tolga> god knows
[09:46] <bazhang> !html | dejan_
[09:46] <tolga> how do i check
[09:47] <dejan_> thanks
[09:47] <milamber> tolga: do you have synaptic open?
[09:47] <bazhang> tolga, no you know. close synaptic package manager software center or the like
[09:47] <ruan> tolga: are you installing  things with any other app, eg. synaptic, ubu. software center
[09:47] <tolga> There is another synaptic running in non-interactive mode. Please wait for it to finish first.
[09:47] <tolga> what the hell could that be
[09:47] <bazhang> tolga, then wait.
[09:48] <tolga> waiting for about 10mins
[09:48] <ruan> tolga: check for network traffic to verify that it's running
[09:48] <bazhang> tolga, if its configuring you dont want to interrupt it.
[09:48] <ruan> tolga: or cpu usage
[09:48] <tolga> sorry guys, newbie, be good if it had task manager like win's so i could either kill it or see whats running
[09:49] <bazhang> tolga, bad idea to kill it now.
[09:49] <dtrf4837> ruan i'm trying startx and i keep getting a long error message
[09:49] <Afflicto> What Linux\ubuntu version is best? I currently have Ubuntu 10.10 gnome I think.
[09:49] <ruan> dtrf4837: did you update the kernel recently?
[09:49] <tolga> what was the cli --- something --dpkg-a
[09:49] <hytreem> Afflicto, check my PM
[09:50] <bazhang> Afflicto, no best. choose one xubuntu lubuntu edubuntu ubuntustudio kubuntu
[09:50] <dtrf4837> ruan i dont know...i did reinstall recently
[09:50] <bazhang> tolga, you dont want to run that now
[09:50] <ruan> tolga: system > administration > system monitor > resources
[09:50] <ruan> tolga: dont kill it yet though
[09:50] <airtonix> dtrf4837: that's because there needs to be alot of other things done before you can run X from just grub recovery
[09:50] <ruan> tolga: just check if it's active
[09:51] <tolga> sorry guys, but check WHAT is running and were and what
[09:51] <bazhang> tolga, top in terminal
[09:51] <bazhang> tolga, do NOT kill it.
[09:52] <tolga> what am i looking for
[09:52] <cricido> ciao a tutti
[09:52] <ruan> tolga: synaptic?
[09:52] <tolga> sorry guys, its like playing pictionary here, dont understand what to look for here
[09:53] <dtrf4837> airtonix if I just shut down the computer and turn it on again i get right back into command line
[09:53] <tolga> ok, now its making little more sense
[09:53] <sandking> ok, i got really curious situation here - during copying files from desktop onto pendrive something happened and i lost my files. after data recovery and all i listed all files in the filetype the lost ones were and i found that the files are actually still on the desktop although i could only prove that by using find in terminal
[09:53] <tolga> 2 instances of synaptic
[09:53] <silvery> .äøûå
[09:53] <sandking> there are no icons and ls of desktop doesn't show these files
[09:53] <sandking> what can i do about these files?
[09:54] <tolga> ones sitting at mb and the other at 10mb with 2 windows
[09:54] <naoshige> Is there any way to mass grab all the sound files at http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specialreports/saveoursounds/index.shtml somehow?
[09:55] <tolga> going to restart - this aint going now where
[09:55] <milamber> sandking: what does ls -al show?
[09:55] <bazhang> tolga thats not a good choice
[09:55] <bazhang> ugh
[09:55] <sandking> milamber, it doesn't show these files
[09:56] <sandking> also tried to do the same as sudo
[09:56]  * M3de is away: No toy! favor dejar mensaje despues si quiero lo leo!
[09:56] <bazhang> !away > M3de
[09:58] <sandking> milamber, sorry i found  these files using locate, not find
[09:58] <sandking> find doesnt find them
[09:59] <milamber> sandking: can you pastebin the output of the locate command you used and pwd?
[09:59] <sandking> pwd?
[10:00] <milamber> sandking: it prints the working directory (to terminal)
[10:00] <oCean> sandking: locate might show these files because it has not updated its locate db yet
[10:01] <oCean> sandking: 'sudo updatedb' will update de locatedb. After that locate probably won't find the files
[10:02] <dtrf4837> i cant get back the desktop
[10:02] <sandking> oCean, problem is files disappeared after faulty copying [not moving] of files so i assume they should be somewhere
[10:02] <sandking> photorec recovered some wav files but not the one i was looking for
[10:02] <rigved> dtrf4837: try Ctrl+Alt+F7
[10:02] <oCean> sandking: if you want to trust the results of locate you might want to run 'sudo updatedb' anyway
[10:03] <sandking> yeah, i started it
[10:04] <visual1ce> could something like this be used to intercept a luks or truecrypt passphrase: http://www.castledragmire.com/Posts/BIOS_Level_Key_Logger
[10:04] <sandking_> oCean, ok, i did update and it still shows these files! spooky ;]
[10:04] <oCean> sandking_: type 'history' and see if you can track what you did
[10:04] <sandking_> and i use sandking@sandking-1001PX:~/Desktop$ locate '*.wav'
[10:05] <sandking_>    97  locate '*.wav'
[10:05] <sandking_>    98  sudo updatedb
[10:05] <sandking_>    99  locate '*.wav'
[10:05] <Fwb2700> Ubuntu sux. I am having nothing but issues
[10:05] <sandking_> [was that spam? ]
[10:05] <Afflicto> hello all
[10:05] <Afflicto> PC crashed.
[10:05] <rigved> Fwb2700: use Ubuntu 10.04, in case you are not already
[10:05] <Afflicto> Hytreem?
[10:05] <Fwb2700> No I am not spam
[10:05] <dtrf4837> rigved i tried Ctrl+Alt+F7 and i got this message that ends with * Enabling additional binary formats binfmt-support
[10:06] <hytreem> Afflicto, ?
[10:06] <Fwb2700> I have 10.10
[10:06] <oCean> sandking_: I meant to search your history for the 'move' commands that went wrong. Use pastebin multiple line pastes
[10:06] <sandking_> Fwb2700, no, i was talking about what i pasted :]
[10:06] <Fwb2700> Yes
[10:06] <sandking_> oCean, oh, that happened few days ago - in meantime i really tried a lot to recover these files so i can't find what happened :/
[10:06] <rigved> Fwb2700: use 10.04.
[10:07] <Fwb2700> Stupid killing my boot screens and now I fixed that no wifi
[10:07] <Fwb2700> Arghh
[10:07] <rigved> dtrf4837: are you getting any error messages?
[10:07] <sandking_> oCean, and as i see it gives only terminal history - what happened, happened in nautilus
[10:07] <Fwb2700> rigved: I cant get it as I now have no Internet access
[10:08] <oCean> sandking_: in that case it is very hard for us to determine what to do. After updating the locatedb, it should give the actual file locations. Can you show the output of the locate command in pastebin?
[10:08] <rigved> dtrf4837: use Shift+PageUp to scroll the earlier message which are not displayed on the screens
[10:09] <Fwb2700> And dont say I have net as I talking here on iPhone
[10:09] <dtrf4837> rigved i did get an error message when i tried startx. the message i got after ctrl + alt + f7...i dont know if thats an error message....part of it says something is disabled but i cant make it out because it doesnt fit into the screen
[10:10] <sandking_> oCean, http://www.pasteall.org/19675
[10:10] <sandking_> and that was after dbupdate
[10:10] <rigved> Fwb2700: i think there are vendors that sell Ubuntu DVDs. these have all the packages, so you do not need to download anything
[10:11] <oCean> sandking_: it does not say Desktop but Downloads.
[10:11] <rigved> dtrf4837: use Shift+PageUp buttons to scroll to the part of the screen that's not displayed
[10:11] <Fwb2700> rigved: Im in nZ not likely here
[10:11] <dtrf4837> i was booting into recovery mode to try and fix my monitor not being detected..i'm thinking that might be the reason why all the text doesnt fit into my screen when in command line
[10:11] <sandking_> oCean,  ...
[10:11] <dtrf4837> because the resolution is too low
[10:11] <sandking_> god almighty
[10:12] <mosty> gksu and ssh -X have stopped working for me in ubuntu 10.10 after a recent update. after I ssh -X, $DISPLAY is not set, but xauth is installed. anyone know what the problem might be?
[10:12] <dtrf4837> ok rigved will try that
[10:12] <sandking_> i wasted HOURS trying to figure out how to recover these files
[10:12] <rigved> Fwb2700: might i ask how you got 10.10?
[10:12] <oCean> sandking_: ghehe
[10:12] <sandking_> it was 1.5 hrs material for my podcast - recording it again would be tiresome!
[10:12] <oCean> sandking_: another set of eyes can work wonders :)
[10:12] <sandking_> oCean, THANK YOU
[10:12] <oCean> sandking_: no problem at all
[10:12] <dtrf4837> rigved its not working....maybe because the part i cant see is on the left part of the screen
[10:13] <Fwb2700> Downloaded it on xp. Then put on DVD now installed 10.10 and wiped xp so now I screwed
[10:13] <sandking_> I had them on my Desktop and I must moved it by mistake on the Downloads, not my pendrive while copying or something
[10:13] <sandking_> but at least i learned to use photorec, locate and find :D
[10:13] <rigved> Fwb2700: how does the LiveCD hold? does that also give you problems?
[10:14] <Fwb2700> rigved: Yes I cant connect to my wireless at all. Says device not ready
[10:14] <Fwb2700> I have a Compaq presario cq50-115AU
[10:15] <rigved> Fwb2700: and your WiFi card is enabled using the switch on the keyboard? i think there's a command to enable the device...
[10:16] <Fwb2700> Yes its enable by the switch. First thing I checked
[10:16] <rigved> Fwb2700: sudo ifdown --force wlan0
[10:16] <iceroot> normally "dd if=/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdc" should create a bootable usb-stick which can be used for installation? (i need a cli-way to create a usb-installation-medium)
[10:17] <rigved> Fwb2700: then - sudo ifup --force wlan0
[10:17] <offsense> is ubuntu netbook-edition session is better than normal gnome in 10.10?
[10:17] <rigved> Fwb2700: assuming that the WiFi interface is called wlan0
[10:17] <mosty> Fwb2700, do you have windows on this machine? sometimes when i disable wireless via software in windows, it doesn't work in other operating systems until i reenable it again in windows
[10:17] <mickster04> !better | offsense
[10:17] <misiac> adress umbutu.ro??????????????????
[10:17] <mickster04> !ro
[10:18] <misiac> thancs
[10:18] <mickster04> :)
[10:18] <Fwb2700> mosty: Not anymore I over wrote it with 10.10
[10:18] <dtrf4837> i'm considering reinstalling again. maybe that will fix both the desktop problem and the monitor not being detected when i do get into desktop? when i first reinstalled the monitor was detected so maybe that will fix it
[10:18] <mosty> Fwb2700, reinstall windows on a different drive?
[10:19] <rigved> Fwb2700: have you tried the commands that i gave you. in the terminal
[10:19] <Fwb2700> Its a laptop
[10:19] <Fwb2700> Turning laptop on again now
[10:19] <mosty> Fwb2700, you can change laptop drives easily, or use an external drive
[10:20] <Fwb2700> I guess. That means I have to find my xp or 7 disk
[10:20] <rigved> dtrf4837: are you able to boot into the recovery mode - failsafex
[10:20] <Afflicto> Please help, I deleted some of the Keyboard Hotkeys in ubuntu. If I go to "Add" I need the shortcut as well as the command. I need a list of those commands. Any idea?
[10:21] <prokyon> hello bot
[10:21] <oCean> prokyon: ?
[10:21] <rigved> !brain | prokyon
[10:21] <mickster04> Afflicto: well seeing as non of us know what those shortcuts did, i don't see how we can help?
[10:21] <Afflicto> Well
[10:22] <mogaj> after installing Universal HP Printer Driver for Linux - HPLIP 3.10.9 software .... i am unable to print pages please help .....
[10:22] <dtrf4837> rigved i think so...in fact i thought i'm stuck in recovery mode now....maybe not, i just assume that because i only see command line
[10:22] <Afflicto> I need the one that brings up the "mac"-ish menu to switch windows.
[10:22] <Afflicto> As well as "Previous workspace" and "Next Workspace".
[10:22] <mickster04> Afflicto: they are gnome gconf settings i believe
[10:22] <Fwb2700> rigved: Says interface force not configured interface WLAN not configured
[10:22] <mickster04> Afflicto: not in the shortcuts options
[10:22] <Afflicto> mhm? :P
[10:23] <Afflicto> it was there
[10:23] <Afflicto> but I managed to delete it..
[10:23] <dtrf4837> rigved but yeah i recall for sure i was able to get into recovery mode earlier...but after that i havent seen the 'recovery mode' option...now i just see the command line
[10:23] <dtrf4837> i just keep rebooting and thats all i see
[10:23] <chibihogoshino> any way to get the status of the battery level for a bluetooth device ?
[10:23] <mickster04> Afflicto: uhm yeah, try installing compizzonfiguration settings manager (ccsm) and then looking through that for the different stuff you can do there, namely switcher
[10:24] <milamber> dtrf4837: hold shift while it's booting?
[10:24] <Afflicto> ok how do I install that?
[10:24] <rigved> Fwb2700: first type - ifconfig
[10:24] <Afflicto> Ubuntu Service Center?
[10:24] <bartj> I am using Ubuntu 9.04
[10:24] <Afflicto> Software Center I mean*
[10:24] <dtrf4837> milamber i tried that earlier but i can try it again
[10:24] <bartj> will I not be able to download from any of the repositories ?
[10:24] <sandking_> also can someone tell me how to do live version of ubuntu desktop on my pendrive that wont ask me every time if i want to install or test drive it?
[10:24] <bartj> I am trying to setup pip
[10:24] <rigved> Fwb2700: do you see your WiFi card there?
[10:24] <milamber> shift should be what allows you to get into safe mode\
[10:24] <mickster04> Afflicto: if you can enable the highest level of effects in appearance settings (system>admin>appearance) then you should be go0od. or djust try changing that settings down and back again to see if it resets those keys
[10:25] <rigved> !9.04 | bartj
[10:25] <Fwb2700> rigved: No it has eth0 and l0 only
[10:25] <olit> dtrf4837, what u getting as prompt?
[10:25] <Afflicto> k
[10:25] <mickster04> Afflicto: yes, try the appearance settings first tho, it may be easier overall
[10:25] <bartj> but, doing a "sudo apt-get install pip" or "sudo apt-get install python-pip"
[10:25] <bartj> doesn't work!
[10:25] <Fwb2700> Rigved: no wlan0
[10:25] <ljsoftnet> is ZSNES emulator illegal to use?
[10:25] <ruan> bartj: any errors?
[10:25] <dtrf4837> milamber ok yeah i remember...i'm now at where it gives booting options
[10:25] <mickster04> bartj: how not?
[10:26] <bartj> I get the following errors:
[10:26] <rigved> Fwb2700: hmmm...so your WiFi is not being detected. is it possible for you to connect to your router via a wired connection, temporarily
[10:26] <mickster04> ljsoftnet: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:26] <Afflicto> Mickster04: I think it worked
[10:26] <bartj> " Couldn't find package pip" or " Couldn't find package python-pip"
[10:26] <mickster04> bartj: well use synaptics package manager to find it properly
[10:26] <dtrf4837> milamber the problem is from here on i dont have option to boot into desktop
[10:26] <mickster04> Afflicto: awesome
[10:26] <rigved> bartj: 9.04 has rached EOL.
[10:26] <Fwb2700> Yes if I must. Not as easy as it sounds. What will I have to do to fix wifi
[10:26] <rigved> bartj: *reached
[10:27] <bartj> rigved, so, I can't download from the repos ?
[10:27] <milamber> !info python-pip jaunty
[10:27] <Fwb2700> rigved: Yes if i must then what do i do
[10:27] <mickster04> bartj: are you sure that's what the package is called?
[10:28] <bartj> hmm, yes I asked in the python channel
[10:28] <medz> hello
[10:28] <rigved> Fwb2700: update
[10:28] <bartj> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-pip&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[10:28] <milamber> dtrf4837: not sure what your problem was, just caught needing the safe mode. once you get to a terminal usually startx will do it
[10:28] <mickster04> bartj: and you have added the ppa for that package?
[10:28] <Fwb2700> rigved: And if there is none or doesnt show any
[10:29] <bartj> mickster04, ppa ?
[10:29] <rigved> Fwb2700: you should also run this command just in case - sudo dkpg --configure -a
[10:29] <mickster04> bartj: have you enabled universe? (do you even have to?)
[10:29] <mickster04> !ppa > bartj
[10:29] <bartj> oh yes, I have enable universe
[10:29] <mickster04> bartj: sudo apt-get update /upgrade
[10:29] <Fwb2700> rigved: I am plugged in but not for long now what
[10:30] <bartj> er, the major stumbling block for me to upgrade is that an upgrade requires more than 2-3GB on my /
[10:30] <bartj> which I don't have...
[10:30] <mickster04> bartj: well the update should do it
[10:30] <bartj> and don't know how to "extend" the /
[10:30] <rigved> Fwb2700: there will be. you have 10.10 which came in the .iso. There have been tons of updates after that. also, during the install, you were probably unable to install the non-free drivers for your WiFi card. that should also be done
[10:30] <rigved> Fwb2700: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[10:31] <Fwb2700> rigved: How i check for updates
[10:31] <imanc> I can't do an 'ls /tmp' on my server - it just hangs my ssh client.  Any ideas why that is?  it's an ubuntu server
[10:31] <rigved> Fwb2700: then - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:31] <Afflicto> Ok fixed the hotkey issue
[10:31] <mickster04> bartj: there is a way to do it, and you are probably able to do it with the live disk :p
[10:31] <mickster04> Afflicto: awesome
[10:31] <Afflicto> Next issue is: Crackling\distorted sound when I recieve messages via pidgin. (also when I slowly change volume of music). How to fix?
[10:31] <mickster04> bartj: how come you haven't updated?
[10:31] <Fwb2700> It says time stamp to far in future
[10:31] <mickster04> Afflicto: is that the same with any speakers?
[10:32] <Afflicto> yea
[10:32] <mickster04> Fwb2700: is your computer time correct?
[10:32] <milamber> imanc: what is the output of du /tmp
[10:32] <Fwb2700> Yes it is correct
[10:32] <Fwb2700> If anythibg its 5 minutes slow
[10:33] <mickster04> Fwb2700: and the date?
[10:33] <imanc> milamber: hold on just rebooting ssh
[10:33] <tonghuix> join #ubuntu-cn
[10:33] <rigved> Fwb2700: open up - System > Administration > Software Sources
[10:33] <milamber> imanc: and depending you may have to use sudo
[10:33] <rigved> Fwb2700: set the server to the Main Server
[10:33] <bullgard> [Maverick] What packages do I need to install in order to use the Remote Desktop software NX?
[10:34] <mickster04> imanc: are you using terminal as your client?
[10:34] <Fwb2700> Yes and the date. I typed the update thing itd doing stuff
[10:34] <imanc> yes mac terminal
[10:34] <rigved> Fwb2700: ok
[10:34] <rigved> Fwb2700: now wait for it to finish
[10:34] <imanc> wow   du tmp   just hangs!
[10:34] <Fwb2700> rigved: There is no software sources
[10:35] <mickster04> imanc: uhm, then thats surely a mac issue? i can't believe the ubuntu server is dying on you?
[10:35] <rigved> Fwb2700: hmmm...someone will have to pit in here...i'm using 10.04. don't know if the position of Software Sources has been changed in Maverick
[10:35] <imanc> mickster04: I am going to log in via linode's LiSH and see fi ti's happening there. I have a PHP upload script that is failing for no obivous reason.
[10:35] <Fwb2700> My net slow is there anyway just to get wlan working
[10:35] <imanc> and the tmp dir is implicated
[10:36] <rigved> Fwb2700: Applications > Ubuntu Software Center . there in the Edit Menu, there should be a Software Sources
[10:37] <rigved> Fwb2700: which WiFi card do you have? broadcom?
[10:37] <Fwb2700> rigved: In there now what
[10:38] <rigved> Fwb2700: Edit (Menu) > Software Sources
[10:38] <dtrf4837> when i do startx, part of the error says Undefined Screen "FP91G" referenced by ServerLayout "ExternalDisplay"...and i recall now FP91G was part of the text I had copied from a ubuntu post to my xorg.cof the last time i was able to boot into desktop, to try to fix my monitor not detected problem
[10:38] <dtrf4837> xorg.conf
[10:39] <Fwb2700> rigved: I in software sources now what? And wifi card is whatever laptop came with
[10:39] <mickster04> right i'm off, good night y'all :)
[10:39] <rigved> dtrf4837: you should put in your monitor's model number here, not the one the post says
[10:39] <dtrf4837> i'm wondering if thats why i can no longer get into desktop
[10:40] <ruan> dtrf4837: at least you have access to a console
[10:40] <rigved> Fwb2700: what does the server say? server for NZ?
[10:40] <Fwb2700> rigved: Yes
[10:40] <milamber> dtrf4837: can you pastebin the xorg log?

[10:41] <rigved> Fwb2700: ok. now tick main, universe, restricted, multiverse
[10:41] <imanc> hey folks - yes, it appears the /tmp directory is somehow broken.  ls or du /tmp just causes the terminal to hang

[10:42] <telive> rigved, reinstall vmware or just the modules?
[10:42] <milamber> imanc: try sudo
[10:42] <ruan> telive: the modules
[10:42] <gerts> Are there any FOSS project which have had great access by attending at FOSS evens to make awarenes of there community? does it work in fact?
[10:42] <imanc> milamber: I am not on the sudoers list on the server. So I just su'd to root first.
[10:42] <rigved> Fwb2700: yes change that too
[10:43] <dtrf4837> milamber i can only give you the link to the post where i copied the text from...i wouldnt know how to access the xorg now that i cant access desktop
[10:43] <telive> ruan, but the modules work fine , just not loaded by default

[10:43] <dtrf4837> i dont have any important data on this hdd though so i can reinstall if thats what it takes
[10:44] <rigved> Fwb2700: there should be a tab that says Other Software. tick all in that too
[10:45] <rigved> Fwb2700: then close.
[10:45] <milamber> dtrf4837: pastebinit is a command line program to get a pastebin.

[10:45] <Fwb2700> rigved: Done

[11:11] <apter> milamber: yeah, i read a article about debian, but i love ubuntu. Specially if you aren't a experienced linux user!
[11:11] <Flannel> albech: You need to select text to change it, or go to the Text and Font menu (font choice on inkscape is somewhat fickle)
[11:11] <rigved> Fwb2700: ifconfig
[11:11] <rigved> Fwb2700: does it list wlan0?
[11:12] <Fwb2700> rigved: Now its enabled and says device not ready again Grr

[11:13] <visual1ce> dhclient

[11:13] <Parameter> so I know it must be possible

[11:13] <Athenon> [biabia]:  hmm....i dunno.  i have scripts for various things, but i just install apache normally so it's automatic.  id honestly recommend just using apt

[11:18] <Parameter> it's activated atm
[11:18] <Parameter> but it doesn't work
[11:18] <Parameter> it just makes the wired connection turn on and off frequently
[11:18] <twiztid> try that one maybe, unplug and replug the cat5 cable
[11:19] <Fwb2700> rigved: I have win 7 working on it now dual booting. Well in 5 I will

[11:19] <Parameter> k
[11:19] <visual1ce> i have a new install. i do "sudo apt-get update" and i get the following error: a error occurred during the sig verification- the repo is not updated... GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: The following sigs couldnt be verified because the public key is no longer available: NO_PUBKEY <randomstring>
[11:19] <dtrf4837> milamber no i dont even know what that is
[11:19] <twiztid> is ur ubuntu box connected wirelessly?
[11:19] <novitololo> stefwal: I've done that, I even excluded Hard disk to be bootable. But it's not working.
[11:19] <Parameter> nope it isn't
[11:19] <dtrf4837> milamber all i know is i have onboard card
[11:19] <Parameter> it is connected via USB
[11:20] <Nighthawk``> i'm working with the terminal, and everytime i want to make a important command i need to write sudo before, can i "login" and the command will give me permissions so i won't need to write it everytime ?
[11:20] <twiztid> usb to your router?
[11:20] <Parameter> and the other computer is connected via ethernet cable to this machine which runs ubuntu 10.10
[11:20] <stefwal> novitololo: did you set usb as startup option?
[11:20] <Parameter> I don't have a router
[11:20] <novitololo> yes I did
[11:20] <Parameter> I just have the computer
[11:20] <Parameter> the modem connects directly to my computer
[11:20] <twiztid> ohhhhh... so windows has the internet that you want to share with ubuntu
[11:20] <stefwal> novitololo: than maybe you should try another usb port
[11:20] <Parameter> nope
[11:20] <Parameter> ubuntu 10.10 has
[11:20] <novitololo> there is just two usb ports
[11:20] <novitololo> tried both :(
[11:20] <v4nelle> guys why i dont see the keyboard flags on 10.10?
[11:20] <Parameter> you see, in win 7, the sharing is perfect
[11:20] <twiztid> ok, like i thought...
[11:20] <milamber> dtrf4837: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome
[11:21] <Parameter> it works in win 7
[11:21] <Parameter> without configuring

[11:21] <Parameter> btw, my motherboard is asus p5p43td
[11:21] <dtrf4837> milamber ok i'll check out the link now
[11:21] <twiztid> ok, have you made sure that windows is dhcp?
[11:21] <milamber> dtrf4837: i am pretty sure that covers your chipset
[11:21] <dtrf4837> ok
[11:21] <Parameter> you mean windows xp right?
[11:21] <twiztid> yeah
[11:22] <Parameter> well, I have no idea
[11:22] <Parameter> it worked as-is between win 7 and win xp
[11:22] <Parameter> I dualboot win 7 and ubuntu 10.10 on this machine
[11:22] <novitololo> stefwal: I'm going to do that. this is so strange.
[11:22] <twiztid> you would need to tell windows to automatically assign an ip adress through dhcp
[11:22] <albech> Flannel, yes but all the fonts are marked with a red '!'
[11:22] <stefwal> novitololo: it could be you 'll have to upgrade your bios
[11:23] <apter> Nedd help : Are there any way to get the linksys wusb54gc to work in ubuntu?
[11:23] <Parameter> it already should
[11:23] <rigved> Parameter: just a thought. sharing in windows is only for windows. but if sharing is setup in Ubuntu, it can share with any OS, including Windows
[11:23] <stefwal> novitololo: but if that's the case be very causios
[11:23] <albech> Flannel, so i think its a matter of font packages or something like that
[11:23] <twiztid> parameter: either that, or, ubuntu dont support sharing internet connections through usb... id scour google on your card and setup...
[11:23] <SirCane> windows sharing of internet can be accessed by any computer or device connected to it
[11:23] <Parameter> I've tried googling so much
[11:24] <Parameter> i think drivers would help out
[11:24] <Parameter> but I don't find any
[11:24] <rigved> Fwb2700: if you have internet connected when you install Ubuntu, then almost everything is setup automatically (most of the times), including the WiFi cards
[11:24] <Parameter> the problem might be that mdi/mdix is not automatically enabled in ubuntu 10.10
[11:24] <albech> Flannel, and the font work fine in other apps like Gimp
[11:25] <Parameter> but it is required to connect two computers directly with ethernet cable
[11:25] <Parameter> otherwise, crossover cable is required
[11:25] <Fwb2700> rigved: I couldn't at time. I have win 7 installed just now. And it's working fine on wifi no updates
[11:25] <darksifer> hi everyone. am using code block to write aa
[11:25] <novitololo> stefwal: I will look for that
[11:26] <dtrf4837> milamber would it be best to just reinstall then keep this reference should the monitor not be detected again or should i try to install the driver now even though i cant get into desktop at the moment?
[11:26] <apter> okei, but I have tried every driver and i cant get i to work
[11:26] <darksifer> hi everyone. am using code block to write a c++ application but when i am compiling i am getting sh : permission denied. please anyone can help. thanks
[11:26] <milamber> dtrf4837: i would say delete the xorg.conf you manually put in and then try the tutorial
[11:27] <stefwal> darksifer: try ubuntu-devel for programming questions
[11:27] <ubuntu_> opa
[11:27] <rigved> Fwb2700: it's using the generic wifi drivers that come with it. Ubuntu also has drivers for your latop - ath5k and ath9k, you just need to download and install them. this is done automatically during the install if you have the internet enabled
[11:27] <dtrf4837> milamber i can do this without booting into desktop?
[11:28] <rigved> Fwb2700: charge your laptop fully and then connect it to the internet. then install Ubuntu.
[11:28] <twiztid> parameter: u near your xp machine?
[11:28] <Fwb2700> Anyway to use win drivers
[11:28] <Parameter> yes, it's behnid the wall
[11:28] <darksifer> stefwal: thanks
[11:28] <Parameter> it's no problem to go to the other computer for me
[11:28] <milamber> dtrf4837: absolutely. linux is the opposite of windows in that regard. since 3.11 windows has been gui based. linux always comes in a command line and sometimes they make a gui :)
[11:29] <twiztid> ok, on your ubuntu machine... go to network manager, edit connections, eth0 and share with other computers
[11:29] <Parameter> done

[11:32] <twiztid> select tcp/ip properties
[11:32] <milamber> dtrf4837: locate xorg.conf

[11:40] <twiztid> strange... uno momento... u can try unchecking it, im not sure if that has any effect... worth a shot
[11:40] <milamber> dtrf4837: -l is a lowercase L, not a 1
[11:40] <Parameter> still, no effects
[11:40] <Parameter> maybe I need to use manual sharing?
[11:40] <Parameter> on the ubuntu side
[11:40] <visual1ce> i have a fresh installation with just ubuntu-standard metapackage (no de). im presuming the first thing i do before i add packages is upgrade the kernel and other packages already installed right?

[11:43] <Parameter> tunich, maybe \- foo ?
[11:43] <Parameter> I am not sure, but it's worth a try

[11:50] <Parameter> twiztid: I tried to install a dhcp server
[11:50] <Azoff> No matter what I do, I'm unable to make users from LDAP accessing files/directories that are limitied to group access. Any idea where to start looking for a fix? Removing --mange-gids isn't a solution.

[11:50] <Parameter> but it resulted in internet connection loss on my ubuntu box

[11:52] <Parameter> ^ the output of dhcpd3
[11:52] <skiwithpete> sorry Cradam, I tracked down the bookmark, but it's for Quake not Quake2

[12:12] <popolon> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-hangul/+bug/685174
[12:12] <milamber> javahorn: sorry, i am a lts guy

[12:13] <twiztid> ya for sure, anytime i can i always try... i know how it feels to pull hair... lol
[12:13] <popolon> the patch is in this bug report
[12:13] <twiztid> your very welcome
[12:13] <popolon> (new version of ibus-hangul
[12:13] <javahorn> any further suggestions
[12:13] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete its a few years old, i just been having problems booting to desktop ever since i copied text from a post from 2009 into xorg.conf then saved it then rebooted. i had my desktop then but after that i havent been able to boot into desktop
[12:13] <assembledbear> #vim
[12:13] <popolon> there are two reporters of this bug on ibus bugtracker
[12:13] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete i have a desktop
[12:14] <popolon> this is really annoying, I compiled updated version on ubuntu 10.10 to avoid this bug
[12:14] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete i have gpc2
[12:14] <oCean> javahorn: screen brightness issues have always been around. Many issues can be found @LP
[12:14] <popolon> but most oversea koreans will don't like ubuntu because of that
[12:14] <javahorn> oCean: what is @LP ?
[12:14] <oCean> javahorn: sorry. Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu)
[12:15] <javahorn> oCean: LaunchPad ? file bug?
[12:15] <popolon> this is really blocking bug
[12:15] <dtrf4837> gpc2 came with linux but not ubuntu
[12:15] <javahorn> oCean:  you faced any? all Fn+Brightness keys are disabled , very disgusting!!
[12:15] <popolon> even korean using dvorak keyboard can't type in there own language then
[12:15] <skiwithpete> dtrf4837, what version of Ubuntu?
[12:15] <Parameter> back
[12:16] <dtrf4837> 10.10
[12:16] <twiztid> parameter: any luck?
[12:16] <oCean> javahorn: yes I ran into such issue using Asus x71. Currently 10.04.2 is works just fine. No promises for next releases :/
[12:16] <javahorn> oCean: so what you did?
[12:16] <Johnm> rename u911 john_mill_fb
[12:16] <Johnm> save
[12:17] <dtrf4837> skiwithpete i can reinstall i have all data backed up
[12:17] <skiwithpete> hey everyone, does 10.10 need xorg.conf?
[12:17] <Parameter> twiztid, unfortunately, it seems to be still not connecting
[12:17] <Parameter> anyways, thanks for the help, again
[12:17] <twiztid> parameter: damn well my next suggestion is instead of forwarding ip's you can bridge your ppp and eth0 connections together for the same effect of ICS
[12:17] <skiwithpete> true, you could even install alpha3
[12:17] <javahorn> staar2:
[12:17] <javahorn> staar2: sorry
[12:17] <Parameter> well, I gotta go now
[12:17] <oCean> javahorn: nothing. It was fixed in 10.04. But in the bugs at LP, there are sometimes workarounds.
[12:18] <Parameter> I'll try bridging if I have the chance
[12:18] <oCean> javahorn: the issues differ per hardware config i guess
[12:18] <Parameter> bye
[12:18] <skiwithpete> dtrf4837, but I think you can just ditch your xorg.conf and it will make a new one
[12:18] <twiztid> theres a bridging utility to join the two... no worries... heres a small tutorial on the matter:
[12:18] <javahorn> oCean: praying this time i am lucky, reinstalling 10.10
[12:18] <oCean> javahorn: fingers crossed :)
[12:19] <twiztid> ok, nvmind... now so eager to get it connected i guess
[12:19] <javahorn> oCean:  heads down, eyes closed for more brightness, let there be light
[12:19] <javahorn> :)
[12:19] <twiztid> so, back to my question... lol

[12:23] <twiztid> dtrf4837: cd /

[13:05] <javahorn> dubbe:  i donot know, very new, there was wubi.exe though
[13:05] <javahorn> cato_: thanks, reading
[13:05] <cato_> the general idea is that you select the amount of space you want for the partition
[13:05] <dubbe> javahorn: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
[13:05] <cato_> then make it ext4
[13:06] <`greenlight> I installed ubuntu 10.10 on vista. Ubuntu worked fine but when I update it through the Update Manager, it can't boot anymore on the next startup. It says, /dev/sda or something is not found

[13:07] <psycho_oreos> rohit64, from memory I think its update-grub
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> rohit64:  'sudo update-grub'
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | rohit64
[13:07] <rohit64> Psychoholic, thanks

[13:14] <xfgghjlsine> hello there... i was wondering if there was a way to exit / terminate any/all screen windows...
[13:15] <xfgghjlsine> as i have two windows but they seem to freeze if i try and -r them
[13:15] <xfgghjlsine> i have looked at the --help files for screen and i did not find an answer
[13:15] <xfgghjlsine> perhaps some one here can assist
[13:16] <antonio_> hi wat is a spanish channel?
[13:16] <llutz> !es
[13:16] <antonio_> thx
[13:17] <antonio_> bye
[13:17] <xfgghjlsine> does any one know if it is possible to exit two screen windows without -r them as it freeze every time i try to re atach
[13:17] <ruan> how do i record from my playback device? aka stereo mix
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> parapan:  not sure thats going to be a trivial thing to do.  It may be you have to do some custom menu creation for the dvd also. You could try 'devede' it can proberly do it.. some how.
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> xfgghjlsine:  you could kill the screen processes if you want them dead.
[13:19] <xfgghjlsine> any one recomend dtach seesm simpler than this
[13:19] <xfgghjlsine> all screen has done its give me grief
[13:20] <javahorn> Dr_Willis: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html -- is recommended if i am installing after Win7 ?
[13:20] <xfgghjlsine> thanks Dr_Willis -
[13:20] <BigMac> does anyone know when firefox 3.6.15 will be available in the repositories?
[13:20] <muppetbert> hey, im trying to connect my camera to my computer, but when i plug it in, nothing happens. when i do an lsusb though i see: "Bus 002 Device 008: ID 04cb:0213 Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd" so it recognises it
[13:21] <abhinav_singh> I am using Ubuntu ..how should I upgrade virtual box
[13:22] <knittl> $ gcc -Wall -lGL -lGLU -lglut opengl.cpp
[13:22] <knittl> /tmp/ccK3ZdwN.o: In function `main':
[13:22] <knittl> opengl.cpp:(.text+0x2d): undefined reference to `glClearColor'
[13:22] <knittl> anything i am missing? :(
[13:22] <xfgghjlsine> Dr_Willis would killall (proc name) work
[13:22] <erUSUL> g++?
[13:23] <knittl> erUSUL: same result
[13:23] <erUSUL> knittl: did you installed the mesa and freeglut dev packages?
[13:23] <knittl> yes. if i didn't it should complain about missing libs
[13:24] <xfgghjlsine> killall proc name did work
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> xfgghjlsine:  kill commands normally use the process id.  theres 'kill' and 'killall' check their manp[ages
[13:25] <xfgghjlsine> thanks though been scratching my head all morn with this issue - im new to ubuntu ofc :)
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> xfgghjlsine:  more of a 'bash job controll' type issue/thing tolearn about :)
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> kill, killall and oher commands. are pretty much standard on all disrtos. and even some non linux os's :)
[13:26] <xfgghjlsine> hehe well my guys hassled me into doing a vps with ubuntu so im in deep end imo
[13:27] <erUSUL> pkill and pgrep are prefered over killall :)
[13:27] <llutz> Dr_Willis: don't use killall on Solaris. if you don't know the differences ;)
[13:27] <ashworth> good place to ask a grub question? tried #grub but it's all silent
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> Not used a SUN os in years. :)
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  ask it here. see who knows.. if all else fails theres a LOT of good grub docs out there.
[13:27] <ashworth> does anyone know which partition grub2 looks for it's grub.cfg on boot?
[13:27] <ruan> ashworth: depends, but grub is related to ubuntu so it should be
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  when grub gets installed to the mbr - thats set  as part of the mbr i belive.
[13:28] <erUSUL> ashworth: the one you tell it when you install it in the mbr
[13:28] <xfgghjlsine> i followed a guide coments said was easyer to use killall proc name it worked nothing "looks" broken yet :)
[13:28] <xfgghjlsine> heh
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> killall on a multiuser ssytem with lots of users logged in - can lead to some mad users. :)
[13:28] <abhinav_singh> I am using Ubuntu ..how should I upgrade virtual box
[13:28] <ruan> lol
[13:28] <erUSUL> xfgghjlsine: « pkill process_name »
[13:28] <ruan> abhinav_singh: how did you install it?
[13:28] <llutz> Dr_Willis: only if used as root
[13:28] <ashworth> i dd'ed an ubuntu partition (to make it bigger. i have changed the uuid, resize2fs etc)
[13:29] <abhinav_singh> ruan i downloaded .deb package
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:   You proberly need to use a live cd. and fix the grub bootloader/files , and fstab file.
[13:29] <dubbe> ashworth: if you have meddled with the partitions you might have to re-install grub
[13:29] <erUSUL> abhinav_singh: download the last one from Vbox website
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  you can change the UUID of a partition via the tune2fs command. that may be easier to do.
[13:29] <GeekMan> hey is it normal that my cpu usage goes up as my tempreture on my laptop goes up
[13:29] <vargadanis> Hi! I am unable to boot up my Ubuntu partition after I installed a new version of another OS. Am I correct to assume that I can restore the boot menu by reinstalling grub?
[13:30] <ruan> GeekMan: cpu causes temperature rise
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | vargadanis
[13:30] <vargadanis> Dr_Willis, thaaaank you :)
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> vargadanis:  also check the various grub2 docs out in the forums and wiki.
[13:31] <ashworth> right, so now i have two ubuntu - say in /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5. my question is 'grub-install /dev/sda'  installs grub2 into mbr. OK. But where is it going to look for it's grub.cfg on startup? in /dev/sda2/boot/grub/grub.cfg or /dev/sda5/boot/grub/grub.cfg? as i understand grub.cfg is _not_ part of MBR
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  one of the os's controlls grub.. it uses that os's grub files.
[13:31] <GeekMan> ruan well this is all very strange because twice if i start a process and end it while im laying my laptop on my bed the cpu useage stay at 100 after i turn off that process but if i move it off the bed the usage drops
[13:31] <xfgghjlsine> so any one used dtach - like screen just simpler "apparently"
[13:31] <MinSikCHO> can i ask sth...?
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  unless you are doing chainloading.. grub2 here on ubuntu was able to see all my ubuntu os's on barious hd's so i just picked one ubuntu to handl the grub needs.
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> !info dtach
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> xfgghjlsine:  never heard of it. I do recall some other alternatvies to screen also. but rarely use them
[13:32] <GeekMan> ruan i would asume it has something to do with my temperature control or somthing its not a big issue though
[13:33] <llutz> ashworth: grub writes an information into MBR where to find "boot.img", which is the 2nd stage of boot-process
[13:34] <ashworth> llutz: so how do i change where it finds boot.img when using grub-install?
[13:34] <llutz> ashworth: man grub-install          "--boot-directory=DIR"
[13:34] <GeekMan> llutz: i have had problems like this in the past does the new os wipe the mbr clean along with grub or does it stay there
[13:35] <ashworth> llutz: boot-directory is not even listed in help
[13:36] <llutz> GeekMan: depends on the OS and the defaults. some will just overwrite MBR, some ask where to put the bootloader...
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  are you getting grub1 and grub2 confused?
[13:36] <ashworth> apparently it's in bzr/trunk
[13:36] <ashworth> Dr_Willis: mm, i hope not :) i am using grub2
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  grub2 has the option. I use command similer to this one all the time --->>>   sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint  /dev/sda --recheck
[13:37] <GeekMan> llutz ok cool
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> that reinstalls grub on sda, from my installed system i have mounted.
[13:37] <llutz> ashworth: grub 1.99~rc1-3 (debian sid)   but boot-directory is an option used since grub1
[13:37] <ashworth> Dr_Willis: ah, root-directory!
[13:37] <ashworth> now that's there indeed
[13:38] <ashworth> grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
[13:38] <ashworth> llutz: yes, 1.99 got that option it seems
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> ashworth:  root in this case is where to find the 'boot/grub' direcvtory' directory.  If you had grub on its own partition/boot partition. you would use that partition. not your / partition.
[13:38] <llutz> Dr_Willis: ashworth thats why they changed it into "boot-dir" with is more logic

[13:42] <fakingfantastic> why would the swap start getting used even when the main memory has ~12MB left?
[13:42] <Guest84073> Dr_Willis: I've done some research on the problem and it seems to be caused by missing compiler in most of the cases. I checked on if I have GCC intalled and it is installed.
[13:42] <Koong> this is the error that terminal gaved me Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libaccess-bridge-java : Depends: default-jre but it is
[13:43] <DOokami> aeon-ltd: okay, how to run files ? like open a picture
[13:43] <aeon-ltd> fakingfantastic: swappinness level, it determines when to use your swap, also ram maxing out is not good, if it does that it bottlenecks and starts moving to disk (during this time your pc will probably frozen)

[14:07] <Koong> leagris, I have did apt-get update && apt-get install -f && apt-get upgrade successfully. But still having the same error when trying to remove kde.
[14:08] <Koong> leagris, Or are there any other simpler ways of removing KDE?
[14:08] <etzerd> I just buy a Sony VAIO i7 with a 1024 Nvidia Gforce GT 425M. every time I install Ubuntu 10.10 the system crash after the instlllation. 1) the mouse doesn't work, as soon I install the update for the graphic and the wireless everything stop working. any idea?
[14:08] <leagris> Koong, apt-get remove libaccess-bridge-java or dpkg -r
[14:09] <leagris> Koong, the libaccess-bridge-java does not meet its dependencies
[14:09] <etzerd> fidyduce: I hope they don't do the same to me.
[14:09] <Koong> Ok
[14:09] <leagris> it may have been replaced by some new package tree so it won't met dependencies again
[14:09] <leagris> meet
[14:09] <fidyduce> etzerd: huh?
[14:10] <Koong> leagris, Removed it. Now, its starting the process of removing KDE. Thanks for your help.
[14:10] <etzerd> fidyduce: can you help me with that?

[14:12] <etzerd> fidyduce: you don't have more issues than I do. brand new laptop and Ubuntu cannot install in it.
[14:12] <fidyduce> etzerd: well i have only installed ubuntu once this most recent time, are you using another machine right now?
[14:13] <etzerd> nope. this is the only machine that I have. for now I'm using windows7
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> etzerd:  'brand new' is often problmatic. You tried a 11.04 live cd yet?
[14:13] <fidyduce> etzerd: i am trying to add a 2Meg or smaller file to a 2GB usb that is "sudo" prefixed on the install so i basically never have the same level permission ever again and all i need is the file and i can go on about my day... sad cause usually i would just be happy with the working usb...

[14:15] <Dr_Willis> etzerd:  if 11.04 has the same issues. be SURE to file a bug report on 11.04 and hope it gets fixed.
[14:15] <fidyduce> etzerd: same to you brother
[14:16] <citrus5252342> intel 830m, biggest sony chipset, linux doesnt support it
[14:16] <etzerd> ok I will try the 11.04
[14:16] <bullgard> "FreeNX is a system that allows you to access your desktop from another machine over the Internet." What protocol does FreeNX use?
[14:16] <etzerd> let me go download it
[14:16] <etzerd> brb
[14:16] <fruitwerks-web> hey all - I just rebooted and now my nat isn't working, nothing has changed, tried different cables, check iptables... no luck
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> citrus5252342:  it would be more of an issue of 'intel supporting  that chipset for linux' Intel had some issues with making linux drivers for some of their chipsets available for linux.
[14:17] <IdleOne> bullgard: #freenx
[14:17] <erUSUL> bullgard: its own afaik; that is what it makes it ( so they say ) faster then native X ( over ssh or not ) and VNC
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  freenx was a lot faster then vnc.. if you could get freenx or the other ???nx's going.
[14:17] <opensorcerer> Somehow my root password for MYSQL has been changed and now I;m unbale to change it back or reinstall MysQL
[14:18] <opensorcerer> can someone help me reinstall mysql.
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> opensorcerer:  perhaps rembve with the purge option., and reinstall it..
[14:18] <bullgard> erUSUL: Ok. Thank you for explaing.
[14:18] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: you just need to change the password, hang on
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> opensorcerer:  or boot to rescue mode, and set a new password with the proper mysql commands.
[14:18] <jwhisnant> i recently updated some maverick packages, then I had an apci problem which I fixed with a reinstall, but I seem to be stuck at runlevel 2
[14:18] <erUSUL> opensorcerer: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[14:18] <jwhisnant> how do I change the runlevel at next boot to be 5
[14:18] <opensorcerer> Dr_Willis, Is that the same as completely remove option when done in Synaptic?
[14:18] <erUSUL> !runlevels | jwhisnant
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> jwhisnant:  ubuntu dosent really use runlevels. - You mean to say X is not starting?
[14:19] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: Are you going to tell me that it is hard to set up FreeNX so that it will be operational?
[14:19] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: make sure mysql is stopped, then start it this way: sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  i foubnd the wiki page confuseing and wrong in places.. i was able to get it going.. once...
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  that was about 5 mo ago. the docs may be better now.
[14:20] <fruitwerks-web> then do: mysql -u root mysql and then UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpass') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit;
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  now a days  i just ssh in and use x forwarding.
[14:20] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, I tried all that and sice it failed I tried removing mysql-server package completely by using the remove competely option(along with config files) from Synaptic..
[14:20] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: I found an Ubuntu help page that is relatively new-
[14:20] <erUSUL> opensorcerer: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/442
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  one issue i had was that there were like 2+ differnt 'free' nx variants ouit. so the docs sort of jumped around.
[14:20] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, Then I tried reinstalling it, then it all went fine untill the root password setting screen, where it gave me an error..
[14:21] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: I read that the option -XC is even more promising.
[14:21] <leagris> opensorcerer, or apt-get --purge remove mysql-server, will get ride of the server and its config files so a reinstall wil bring defaults
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  for X forwarding over ssh?
[14:21] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: try what I just said
[14:21] <jwhisnant> ok, when I start my computer after I did the most recent package upgrades, I get a login prompt; how do I fix it ?
[14:21] <Guest9931> fuck i'm stoned
[14:21] <fidyduce> is there a way for me to run the "dd" command without "sudo", whenever i use the prefix "sudo" the resulting file structure is RO for me when mounted as just a usb, or even when the usb has been booted i can not make any changes. all i need to do is add on more file to the usb after the iso is installed can someone help me please.....
[14:21] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis bullgard: FreeNX was confusing and hard to get working 4 years ago. TeamViewer is a lot easier
[14:21] <bullgard> Dr_Willis: Yes.
[14:21] <IdleOne> !language | Guest9931
[14:21] <opensorcerer> leagris, Ok lemme try this command-line way now..
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> jwhisnant:  login and try 'startx' look for error messages.
[14:21] <Guest9931> i mean, dude i'm stoned
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> Teamviewer - IS a lot easier to get going.. but it sorrt of has differnt design goals. :)
[14:21] <Guest9931> sorry about the lanauge guys
[14:22] <bullgard> IdleOne: Good to know. --  Thank you.
[14:22] <Guest9931> anyone got a burger
[14:22] <IdleOne> Guest9931: This is #ubuntu not #stonerchat. take it somewhere else please
[14:22] <fidyduce> bullgard: lol!
[14:22] <Guest9931> i'm the only one in that channel
[14:22] <Guest9931> ok
[14:22] <opensorcerer> guys where can I post a screenshot to share in this channel.
[14:23] <IdleOne> !paste | opensorcerer
[14:23] <fidyduce> is there a way for me to run the "dd" command without "sudo", whenever i use the prefix "sudo" the resulting file structure is RO for me when mounted as just a usb, or even when the usb has been booted i can not make any changes. all i need to do is add on more file to the usb after the iso is installed can someone help me please.....
[14:23] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: uhh imagebin, imagebam, tinypic
[14:23] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: is the usb mounted rw?
[14:24] <dohh3> Hey guys, trying to install ubuntu from backtrack4, but the cd drive doesn't work - can I use the iso to install from image?
[14:24] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: you can just su
[14:24] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: no, after the iso is installed it is mounted as RO
[14:24] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: ok how
[14:24] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: then remount it rw (if that is the real issue)
[14:24] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: baby steps with me lol
[14:24] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: yes that is the only issue
[14:24] <ugliefrog> i have xbmc installed...with addon mythbox.....i can see upcoming recordings program guide...but i cant see the recordings after they are done
[14:25] <fruitwerks-web> mount -o remount,rw /usbdrive/mountpoint
[14:25] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, erUSUL , This is the error that I got while trying to reinstall MySQL -http://imagebin.org/141295
[14:25] <opensorcerer> IdleOne, Thanks..
[14:25] <IdleOne> opensorcerer: welcome
[14:25] <mib_mib> hi guys, my ubuntu is running slow, and it seems that rtkit-daemon is using ~ 25% of CPU -- why would this be?
[14:25] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: follow my instructions from earlier
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> dohh3:  install from backtrack4 huh? Why not make a bootable flash drive and boot it to install ubuntu.
[14:26] <llutz> dohh3: use debootstrap, neither cd-rom nor usb needed
[14:27] <jwhisnant> startx - failed to load nvidia kernel driver, check log ... any suggestions, other than try to reinstall the driver, probably just kernel upgrade
[14:27] <bullgard> IdleOne: You dont mean irc://freenode/freenx ? It does not exist.
[14:27] <erUSUL> opensorcerer: click forward? then reset the password as esplained by fruitwerks-web or via the link i posted?
[14:27] <dohh3> llutz, ok, where is that on the cd image? under /boot?
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> bullgard:  not every one has tools that support irc type urls :)
[14:28] <llutz> dohh3: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html
[14:28] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: no dice
[14:28] <opensorcerer> erUSUL, The thing is that MySQL-server installation didn't complete, I had to do an Xkill to kill that window as in the screenshot. So not sure till what step the package got installed.
[14:29] <llutz> bullgard:  #NX
[14:29] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: what filesystem is on the usb?
[14:29] <IdleOne> llutz: that's it.
[14:29] <fruitwerks-web> nx rocks :)
[14:29] <opensorcerer> erUSUL, Should I try a sudo spt-get install mysql-server now?
[14:29] <opensorcerer> erUSUL, Sorry apt-get
[14:29] <erUSUL> why not?
[14:29] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: it is installed, just run those few commands
[14:30] <leagris> opensorcerer, if a package did not finish install you may apt-get install -f or dpkg-reconfigure package
[14:30] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, My installtion had to be killed in mid-way so not completed. What to do now.
[14:30] <opensorcerer> leagris, Ok I'll try that.
[14:31] <microboy> hi
[14:31] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: use the command line and install it apt, then try what I have been saying
[14:31] <fruitwerks-web> I think that last kernel update broke my nic
[14:32] <bullgard> llutz: Thank you very much for your help.
[14:32] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: crunchbang live iso is installed on it
[14:32] <fruitwerks-web> fidyduce: what are you trying to do exactly?
[14:34] <opensorcerer> leagris, fruitwerks-web I tried the sudo apt-get install -f it completed, but didn't ask me for a root password setup... This is the output-http://paste.ubuntu.com/575994/
[14:34] <opensorcerer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/575994/
[14:34] <fidyduce> fruitwerks-web: i want to install the iso to a usb, then move a 2Meg or so to the usb and then boot the usb on subsequent machines and access the file from terminal.... none of that has anything to do with the fact that other iso's install and you can still use the usb as a storage medium when it is not boot live.... so there is my issue after installing the iso to the usb i can not make any changes while either booted or mounted as storage...
[14:35] <Ububegin> I cant boot up my Ubuntu and have been getting this /*  status: {DRDY ERR} */.... I thot of using my LiveCD and running fsck to fix the harddisk..
[14:35] <dohh3> llutz, can I pm to make sure on the commands? They seem to be valid for earlier archives. Cheers :)
[14:35] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: great, now reset your password with the instrcutions we gave you 15 minutes ago
[14:35] <Jeruvy> !info camera
[14:35] <Ububegin> Or is there something else I coud do
[14:35] <microboy> IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN   -freedom
[14:36] <fruitwerks-web> Ububegin: that is a bad one, you might need a forensic recovery live cd to get past that
[14:36] <Ububegin> fruitwerks-web:  Oh where can i that..
[14:37] <Ububegin> get that , i mean
[14:37] <dmesg> hi , how to set libtorrent_cflags env variable
[14:37] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, Ok lemme check that..
[14:37] <fruitwerks-web> Ububegin: I have had the most luck (all around) with this one http://www.sysresccd.org/
[14:38] <dmesg>  how to set libtorrent_cflags env variable
[14:38] <Ububegin> fruitwerks-web: Hi, But i can still access my Linux partition via the LiveCD and can still duat boot into windows vista..
[14:39] <fruitwerks-web> Ububegin: you will need to disable scanning of that drive though - at boot, it will check all disks for a preferences / home dir - odd, well boot up that cd and use some of the tools on it to check the disk, I am surprised you can do anything on that drive getting that error
[14:41] <Ububegin> fruitwerks-web: kk, dude.. I will dl the systemCD and have a go... Btw, I need not have to worry about the data in the windows partition , right
[14:41] <Ububegin> fruitwerks-web: I mean shld I be backing it up
[14:42] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, leagris I tried to change the password of root, this is what happened-
[14:42] <opensorcerer> fruitwerks-web, leagris http://paste.ubuntu.com/575996/

[14:42] <opensorcerer> ERROR 130 (HY000): Incorrect file format 'user'
[14:43] <fruitwerks-web> Ububegin: that cd will not modify any data unless you tell it to - I would dd-rescue the whole disk if possible
[14:44] <fruitwerks-web> opensorcerer: stop mysql, cd /var/lib/mysql and rm -rf mysql, then start mysql and follow the instructions
[14:45] <fruitwerks-web> or copy that folder somewhere safe instead of removing it
[14:45] <fruitwerks-web> - rebooting to old kernel ... brb

[14:51] <Guest65564> hey everyone. i'm a newbiu in ubuntu. i use linux mint. when the system goes to hibernate, it cannot be wake up. it will get black screen.
[14:52] <IceClaw> than never go to hibernate :D
[14:52] <yeats> opensorcerer: I'm not sure what the other person was suggesting... I just knew how to get around your permissions issue - maybe someone else will know
[14:52] <opensorcerer> yeats, Ok thanks.. The other person is now off.  :(
[14:52] <Meta> rg
[14:53] <BluesKaj> dmesg, yeah , use the default rtorrent in the repos , sometimes compiling from source has unexpected problems and the versions may not be fully developed
[14:54] <petn-randall> Hi, can anyone point me to the documentation of ureadahead? I'm trying to find out which kernel patches are needed on a vanilla kernel for it to work.
[14:54] <yeats> petn-randall: man ureadahead?
[14:56] <IdleOne> petn-randall: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434502
[14:56] <petn-randall> yeats: that only covers the command line arguments to the daemon, not the kernel patch part
[14:57] <IdleOne> petn-randall: might try asking in #ubuntu-dev or maybe #ubuntu-server
[14:58] <petn-randall> IdleOne: Doesn't cover which kernel patches are needed, either :( but thanks
[14:58] <petn-randall> IdleOne: sounds like it's worth a shot asking there
[14:58] <petn-randall> IdleOne: thanks
[14:58] <dohh3> whats the current version alias?

[15:04] <azizLIGHTS> more detail please?
[15:04] <Phong_> hi guys, i have question, i want to execute a command  how can i do that?
[15:04] <Phong_> create bash or something
[15:04] <Phong_> example i wan to do this   'cp something '
[15:04] <ugliefrog> how to i access a folder on another pc on my network...I need to find out what to type in
[15:04] <Phong_> and want to have it as alias
[15:05] <Phong_> that way i dont have to really type long text
[15:05] <aeon-ltd> Phong_: create the alias in .bashrc
[15:05] <poor_guy> no one to help a poor guy like me?
[15:05] <Phong_> ok
[15:05] <Phong_> how can i get to bashrc ?
[15:05] <vsair> vi ~/.bashrc
[15:05] <poor_guy> Phong_: it's in you homne dir
[15:05] <poor_guy> nano ~/.bashrc
[15:06] <yeats> ugliefrog: is the other PC running Linux?
[15:06] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS - start here http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/how-to-read-an-rss-feed-with-php-screencast/ and this has nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:06] <Phong_> ok how to have alias?
[15:06] <Phong_> alias blalba= something?
[15:06] <vsair> alias xxx="xxx"
[15:06] <yeats> Phong_: there are examples in your .bashrc
[15:07] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: whats the better channel to ask
[15:07] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: thx
[15:07] <IdleOne> Phong_: alias copy="command goes here"
[15:07] <ugliefrog> yeats, yes..mythbuntu
[15:07] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS ##php
[15:07] <poor_guy> alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[15:07] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS you can also download the whole feed as a page with lynx / links via the command line
[15:07] <poor_guy> like that
[15:07] <sina> k
[15:08] <yeats> ugliefrog: do 'ssh username@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX' where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the Mythbuntu machine's IP address
[15:08] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: lynx --dump? and then parse with sed/awk?
[15:08] <fruitwerks> azizLIGHTS yeah, that works too, but it will be cleaner in php
[15:09] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: i see. thanks very much
[15:10] <poor_guy> bug http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg2764715.html
[15:10] <yeats> ugliefrog: if you prefer GUI, you can do the same thing from Places -> Connect to server...
[15:10] <IdleOne> Phong_: after you add your aliases you will either need to restart the terminal app or do << source ~/.bashrc >>  for the aliases to work
[15:10] <Phong_> IdleOne, single or double quote?
[15:10] <IdleOne> single
[15:11] <Phong_> IdleOne, thanks got it works
[15:11] <IdleOne> welcome
[15:11] <Phong_> ok i have question
[15:11] <ugliefrog> yeats, ill try that to..Im trying to get to my mythbuntu recordins folder...Its a fight when you dont know the lingo..thanks for the point tho
[15:12] <Phong_> i want to have a script do multi task
[15:12] <Phong_> how can i do that?
[15:12] <Phong_> think as windows...i use .bat
[15:12] <Phong_> i want to have a list of task in command
[15:12] <oCean> Phong_: you can create bash script
[15:12] <Phong_> how
[15:12] <DaGeek247> *.sh
[15:12] <Phong_> example ?
[15:13] <Phong_> lol
[15:13] <oCean> Phong_: open new .sh file, enter all commands, save
[15:13] <Phong_> with ?
[15:13] <Phong_> pico ?
[15:13] <DaGeek247> gedit
[15:13] <oCean> Phong_: make it executable (chmod +x myscript.sh) and execute ./myscript.sh
[15:13] <Phong_> pico oh
[15:13] <yeats> ugliefrog: if you want a "permanent" connection between the two computers, you should investigate NFS
[15:13] <oCean> Phong_: whatever is your favorite editor. I use vi
[15:13] <yeats> !nfs | ugliefrog
[15:13] <IdleOne> pico, nano, gedit, use your preferred editor
[15:13] <Phong_> i see
[15:13] <Phong_> ok let me try
[15:14] <yeats> Phong_: nano is easier than vi for beginners (and is the default editor)
[15:14] <Phong_> ok after that, can i make alias myscrip ='path to .sh"
[15:14] <Phong_> right?
[15:14] <vsair> yeah
[15:14] <Phong_> oh okay thanks
[15:14] <yeats> Phong_: no spaces around the
[15:14] <yeats> =
[15:14] <yeats> sign
[15:16] <amin> I need hostname.sh init script
[15:16] <oCean> amin: to do what
[15:16] <amin> any one provide me with that?
[15:17] <amin> oCean: what should it normally
[15:17] <amin> do
[15:17] <oCean> amin: you need the default upstart script?
[15:17] <amin>  yes
[15:18] <aadem> i just installed ubuntu on my girlfriends dads computer because he kept getting viruses surfing the web.  Every time ubuntu loads , even during the install, the screen flashes and scrambles at least once every 30 seconds.  Ive already installed the proprietary drivers that ubuntu found, this IS a display driver issue correct?
[15:18] <oCean> amin: I think you just should reinstall hostname, it's the package that creates those scripts
[15:18] <oCean> amin: /etc/init.d/hostname, /etc/init/hostname etc
[15:18] <maskoes> test
[15:19] <oCean> maskoes: we can see you
[15:19] <maskoes> thank you
[15:19] <ruan> aadem: looks like a driver issue
[15:20] <amin> oCean: host name is already install
[15:20] <oCean> amin: use --reinstall
[15:20] <ruan> aadem: could possibly be the monitor,does it scramble after 30 seconds in the bios?
[15:20] <aadem> well i have it dual booting with windows and windows / bios/ everything else no scramble whatsoever
[15:20] <aadem> not a one
[15:21] <ruan> aadem: ah ok
[15:21] <aadem> so i figured it was the generic video driver ubuntu loads with the kernel
[15:21] <aadem> but than the proprietary driver had no effect, so i may want to check the manufacturers web site i guess :) thanks for your help i appreciate it
[15:21] <DaGeek247> aadem its a bug
[15:21] <amin> oCean: but /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start
[15:21] <amin> -bash: /etc/init.d/hostname.sh: No such file or directory
[15:21] <aadem> DaGeek your farmiliar with this?
[15:21] <DaGeek247> aadem i got something like it before
[15:21] <oCean> amin: correct, it is 'hostname' not .sh
[15:22] <aadem> ohhhh okay did you become acustomed to it, or did you find a way to fix it hehe
[15:22] <poor_guy> E: Unable to locate package linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.35-27-generic
[15:22] <DaGeek247> aadem i dont know how to program drivers, so my solution was getting a cheap $5 replacement. :/
[15:22] <poor_guy> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.35-27-generic'
[15:23] <oCean> poor_guy: what version are you using (ubuntu)?
[15:23] <poor_guy> maverick
[15:23] <aadem> hah good thinkin :D   some part of me was hoping there was something i could do in xorg.conf to fix it lol.  sounds like the problems in the actual driver source itself :)  ive got my answers owe you one
[15:23] <gluon> how can I disable hibernate and suspend?
[15:23] <poor_guy> this makes me frustrated
[15:23] <poor_guy> bad hardware support
[15:24] <aadem> system pref power management for me gluon
[15:24] <DaGeek247> aadem if you have an old graphics card hanging around put itin and see if it fixes the problem
[15:24] <poor_guy> oh wait
[15:25] <oCean> poor_guy: maybe the linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-27-generic ?
[15:25] <gluon> aadem: I mean how to disable the options from the shutdown menu
[15:25] <ruan> poor_guy: linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic
[15:25] <gluon> so that a user can't hibernate
[15:25] <poor_guy> oCean: i didnt update the repositories :P
[15:25] <poor_guy> installing.
[15:25] <aadem> oohh sorry gluon that would take some research
[15:25] <gluon> np
[15:26] <gluon> I'll do it myself
[15:26] <keplenk> hey guys, does anybody know what fan control program ubuntu 10.10 use by default?
[15:28] <keith27> does anybody know why there would be activity on my vboxne network adapter when i am not running virtual box ?
[15:28] <Jasonn> keith27: messed up stats?
[15:28] <Jasonn> keith27: could also be because you didnt turn off your vb
[15:28] <BostX> hi
[15:28] <poor_guy> ruan: what package is that?
[15:28] <keith27> jasonn nope its not running at all
[15:29] <ruan> poor_guy: not sure, i looked in synaptic
[15:29] <BostX> anyone knows why im getting this openvpn error: "Note: cannot open openvpn_up_de081fa40736957e5630b2fe63e18c27.tmp for WRITE"
[15:29] <Jasonn> keith27: Lets just say that Ubuntu's network controls/interface/calculations arent always the best
[15:29] <petn-randall> keith27: How are you measuring activity? You running wireshark on it?
[15:29] <BostX> and after that: "TLS Auth Error: could not write username/password to file: openvpn_up_de081fa40736957e5630b2fe63e18c27.tmp"
[15:29] <Jasonn> BostX: its a read-only file
[15:30] <keith27> petn-randall: firestarter
[15:30] <Jasonn> BostX: try sudo -i and then your command
[15:30] <Jasonn> BostX: not all together**
[15:30] <BostX> Jasonn, well yea... but the file was created by /etc/init.d/openvpn
[15:30] <bibic682> HELP!!    upgraded to 10.10 and I have no sound in java online
[15:30] <Jasonn> BostX: run the command sudo -i
[15:31] <Jasonn> bibic682: try reinstalling java
[15:31] <BostX> Jasonn, I do "sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start", u mean the '-i' is missing... ? i'll try it
[15:31] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: ubuntu package: rsstail is good
[15:31] <poor_guy> Who hates bugs?
[15:31] <Jasonn> BostX: no, sudo -i is a separate command, try that
[15:31] <ruan> poor_guy: who doesn't?
[15:31] <azizLIGHTS> fruitwerks: its like tail but for rss
[15:31] <poor_guy> ruan: programmers?
[15:31] <DaGeek247> poor_guy, me! they bite so hard!
[15:31] <bibic682> Jasonn: I tried that a few times and even tried different versions
[15:31] <ruan> poor_guy: why wouldn't programmers hate bugs?
[15:31] <Jasonn> BostX: sudo -i makes you the root user in all commands you type, and THEN in a new line, type the command you want
[15:32] <poor_guy> ruan: gives them a job too
[15:32] <poor_guy> brb
[15:32] <ruan> poor_guy: lol
[15:32] <Jasonn> bibic682: try also removing the program files
[15:32] <DaGeek247> and they make me SO itchy!
[15:32] <bibic682> ok will try
[15:33] <BostX> Jasonn, hmm.. no success... the same error as before
[15:33] <BostX> :(
[15:33] <Jasonn> BostX: can you look for the file and see if its "read only"?
[15:33] <xfgghjlsine> Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from GroupManager.jar Can some one explain what is wrong here
[15:34] <Jasonn> BostX: with "gksudo nautilus"
[15:35] <BostX> Jasonn, hmmm... I cannot find the file...
[15:35] <BostX> Jasonn, do u know where it might be?
[15:36] <BostX> Jasonn, i tried /tmp/, /var/log/ but its not there
[15:36] <Jasonn> BostX: First, type this into your terminal: gksudo nautilus
[15:37] <mr-rich> any good work around for the no /dev/mixer errors yet?
[15:37] <Jasonn> BostX: BostX It will open up a file manager with root privelages
[15:37] <Jasonn> BostX: THEN what you have to do is go to: /etc/init.d/openvpn
[15:38] <cylent> What would be considered 'one step down' from Gnome and KDE but not fvwm, blackbox, or even just term, as a WM?

[15:39] <n1cky> anyone installed VDR?
[15:39] <cylent> keith27, need permissions and I dunno why.. I had to sudo wireshark
[15:40] <sur07> buenos dias
[15:40] <azizLIGHTS> edbian: thats easy for you, i am on ssh and lag 5+ seconds. if i hit one too many times del key or backspace key. i will have deleted everything and have to typ e all over again
[15:40] <bibic682> Jasson:  I am trying thru synaptic to remove the open jre and it won't mark for removal....script for removing that?
[15:40] <edbian> azizLIGHTS, count ?
[15:40] <azizLIGHTS> not useful
[15:40] <azizLIGHTS> thanks edbian
[15:40] <edbian> azizLIGHTS, Where are you connecting to that you have so much lag?
[15:40] <azizLIGHTS> this is not the issue
[15:41] <alsuna> bibic682: in a terminal: sudo apt-get remove <package name>
[15:41] <BostX> Jasonn, it must be somewhere in tmp_dir
[15:41] <bibic682> ok
[15:41] <keith27> cylent its working as root thanks
[15:41] <Jasonn> BostX: if you are trying to run file "/etc/init.d/openvpn" then that is where it is
[15:42] <AcePreshaw> how can i get the network icon back on my panel im on 10.04 LTS
[15:42] <wwssass> .
[15:42] <cylent> keith27, just be careful =)
[15:42] <n1cky> anyone installed VDR with skystar?
[15:43] <chombee> Can I run memtest from an installed Ubuntu, or do I need a LiveCD/USB? There doesn't seem to be a way to get the grub menu on boot
[15:43] <keith27> cylent what should i be aware of in trying to be careful?
[15:43] <AcePreshaw> !me
[15:43] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: rightclck on the panel -> add to panel, then find the network manager in the list
[15:43] <Jasonn> chombee: You can do it from GRUB
[15:43] <cylent> keith27, ... that you are 'root' ;)
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> chombee:  if its hidden (on a single os system thats the default) hold/tap the shift key at the right time.. or edit the grub configs to make it never hide.
[15:43] <chombee> Jasonn: How to get into grub?
[15:43] <keith27> is there anything i should avoid doing
[15:43] <AcePreshaw> opps
[15:43] <chombee> shift key
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> I hate how it auto-hides  by default.
[15:43] <chombee> ok, rebooting
[15:44] <AcePreshaw> alsuna i cant see it
[15:44] <Jasonn> chombee: no idea, you have to do it in the boot process, but im not sue what key you press
[15:44] <cylent> keith27, nothing come to mind, no.. just exercise caution
[15:45] <AcePreshaw> alsuna i cant see it
[15:45] <cylent> wireshark FAQ spoke of not being able to access , I guess any packet sniffer, if not root or privileged.
[15:45] <Jasonn> !grub | chombee
[15:45] <AcePreshaw> ?
[15:45] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: if the notification applet in your panel?
[15:45] <justfortoday_> has anyone noticed anything about the bin ary pay loads in met a sploit not being picked u p by A v G free edition?
[15:46] <AcePreshaw> yea
[15:46] <keith27> how come i get an icmp destination unreachable (port unreachable) like every second on my lo interface ?
[15:46] <AcePreshaw> it is
[15:46] <AcePreshaw> i cant see it
[15:46] <justfortoday_> I just tested with standard settings and named it notes.exe and it wasn't picked uo even in the startup folder after reboot, it never has done this in the past
[15:46] <AcePreshaw> yea is not comeing up
[15:47] <Jasonn> keith27: does the port exist and is open?
[15:47] <AcePreshaw> alsuna is not there
[15:47] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: lets find out if the network manager applet is running. what does "ps -A | grep nm-applet" give?
[15:47] <keith27> jasonn the port is closed but what could be creating the failed attempts in the first place ?
[15:48] <Jasonn> how do i get a static IP addr configd on my net adapter in xubuntu?
[15:48] <Jasonn> keith27: if the port is closed, then you cant ping it... because it doesnt exist
[15:48] <AcePreshaw> root@ace-laptop:/home/ace# ps -A | grep nm-applet
[15:48] <AcePreshaw>  1494 ?        00:00:00 nm-applet
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  the network manager tool should have settings to allow that.
[15:49] <justfortoday_> Jasonn: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[15:49] <AcePreshaw> there i did it in the Root alsina
[15:49] <Jasonn> Dr_Willis: I cant get to the network manager tool though...
[15:49] <keith27> jasonn im not trying to ping it or anything i'm trying to figure out what is running
[15:49] <AcePreshaw> alsuna
[15:49] <AcePreshaw> sry
[15:49] <Jasonn> keith27: sudo -i && top
[15:49] <edbian> keith27, If something was running you could ping it
[15:49] <Jasonn> keith27: run that command
[15:50] <deface> htop
[15:50] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: ok, so the applet is running, and you are sure the applet called "notification applet" is in your panel? (not exactly sure about the name, I'm not on an english machine here)
[15:50] <keith27> jasonn what does that do
[15:50] <sacarlson> Jasonn: other option is this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[15:50] <AcePreshaw> yea is up
[15:50] <Jasonn> keith27: it tells you all the processes that are taking up memory
[15:51] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: is there anything in it?
[15:51] <Jasonn> sacarlson: im running xubuntu, the network tab isnt there for me in the top bar
[15:51] <AcePreshaw> sond bat and msgs
[15:51] <AcePreshaw> im on it as we chat
[15:52] <Diverdude> if i type ss on my machine and see an unknown ip where it says 192.168.1.87:ssh for local address and port, does it mean somebody tried to log in via ssh to my server?
[15:52] <Diverdude> i tried looking up the remote ip...its some adress from chile
[15:52] <sacarlson> Jasonn: that link has nothing to do with your tabs it requires modifing /etc/network/interfaces files and other
[15:52] <MagicJ> I have a ralink RT2800 wifi dongle.  to some extent it is sort of working in that when I plug it in the network manager starts showing the possibility of wifi connections and iwconfig sees it.  But the network connections fo not include a list and I can not connect out - what step do I need>  (10l.4)
[15:53] <Jasonn> sacarlson: thank you :)
[15:53] <iocor> I need a way to fully backup my system that preserves as much space as possible
[15:53] <AcePreshaw> alsuna is not there
[15:53] <iocor> does anyone have any ideas?
[15:53] <Jasonn> MagicJ: Drivers
[15:54] <AcePreshaw> i can see all the icons at the top
[15:54] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: kk I don
[15:54] <MagicJ> what do u mean Jasonn?
[15:54] <AcePreshaw> ?
[15:54] <edbian> iocor, backup is a little more manual I've found in Linux.  Try searching there are some great backup apps in the repos
[15:54] <Jasonn> MagicJ: are the drivers installed?
[15:55] <AcePreshaw> alsuna sry cna u help me or not
[15:55] <MagicJ> Jasonn:  I guess that is th question, and the answer is probably no, what do I need to do to find out/install then
[15:55] <dtrf4837> in Other Software, should i have everything clicked?
[15:55] <Jasonn> !wifi | MagicJ
[15:55] <sacarlson> MagicJ: are the networks you want to connect to encrypted?  if so try wicd or any method that uses wpa_supplicant like wpagui
[15:55] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: kk I don't have any more ideas... last thing i can think of: you could try stopping the nm-applet and remove the notification aplet from the panel and then reverse again.
[15:55] <AcePreshaw> ok
[15:56] <AcePreshaw> is work now is the icon i want back
[15:56] <MagicJ> Jasonn:  When I use other dongles all works well, so if anything it must be specific to this set of chips - so how do I fibd what drivers I need
[15:56] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: good
[15:57] <Jasonn> MagicJ: do you know the model number?
[15:57] <AcePreshaw> yea now the icon
[15:57] <MagicJ> Jasonn: not really, dmesg shows that it sees it etc but does not give me a model # as such
[15:57] <sacarlson> MagicJ: the wpa_suplicant driver works with most devices
[15:58] <Algabe> alguien tiene la configuracion de noip2.conf?
[15:58] <alsuna> AcePreshaw: i don't understand
[15:58] <MagicJ> sacrlson:  what is that and where/how do I find it
[15:58] <Jasonn> !es | algabe
[15:58] <MagicJ> sacarlson: what is that and how do I use/find it
[15:59] <sacarlson> MagicJ: it is used in the wicd and wpagui packages   sudo apt-get install wicd
[15:59] <AcePreshaw> !caps
[15:59] <MagicJ> sacarlson: will install that brb
[15:59] <zth> i would like to see what device that is mounted to /media/PHONE CARD, how can i find that? i mean what device in /dev/
[15:59] <sacarlson> MagicJ: but you didn't tell me if you are encrypted so I'm not sure it will help you
[15:59] <AcePreshaw> YEA mee too
[15:59] <zth> i wanna make an image of my phonecard
[15:59] <BluesKaj> MagicJ, I have the ralink 2870 USB wifi adapter (Belkin) and it runs fine on wicd . you might want to consider it.
[15:59] <Develman> hi all, pcmanfm does not start anymore as user. there is no logging when i start it from console. if i start it as root it comes up with an error: no permission
[16:00] <Develman>  what can i do? i have already reinstalled it but with no effect
[16:00] <Jasonn> !fishing | AcePreshaw
[16:00] <MagicJ> sacarlson: as I say it does not even show me the list of networks - there are wpa and open ones here - as shown by other dongles
[16:00] <SnowmanX11> Does anybody have an MSI GX720? Could you make surround sound on it?

[16:01] <anon> Hi. I'm looking for a file-tagging solution (standalone software, nautilus add-on, anything) that allows me to tag files and subsequently search using these tags. Anyone knows if such a thing exists please?

[16:01] <BluesKaj> !info wicd
[16:01] <MagicJ> BluesKaj: what do u mean?  I am installing it npw
[16:01] <BluesKaj> ok, MagicJ , I wasn't sure
[16:01] <snimavat> I just updated my new installation of ubuntu server
[16:02] <snimavat> and now cant login to ssh
[16:02] <snimavat> connection refused
[16:02] <RobbiePreshaw11> !help
[16:02] <snimavat> did it change the port?
[16:02] <MagicJ> BluesKaj: sacarlson:  I did the install and it tried to start wicd and gave me a 'fail'
[16:02] <Jasonn> !enter | snimavat
[16:02] <sacarlson> MagicJ: oh if you don't already see networks then maybe your problem is rfkill
[16:02] <snimavat> Whts the default ssh port for ubuntu server
[16:02] <edbian> snimavat, 22
[16:02] <Jasonn> snimavat: its port 22
[16:02] <snimavat> connection refused
[16:02] <deface> snimavat, its set to listen on localhost only by default
[16:02] <MagicJ> sacarlson: what is rfkill
[16:02] <snimavat> what
[16:02] <zth> how can i look up what /dev-device that's mounted to a specific folder?
[16:02] <BluesKaj> MagicJ, did you set up the paramters in the wicd gui?
[16:02] <snimavat> How can i change it
[16:02] <sacarlson> MagicJ: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/rfkill.1.html
[16:03] <Jasonn> snimavat: then what did you set on configuration?
[16:03] <snimavat> I cant login using ssh now
[16:03] <Jasonn> snimavat: did you install openSSH on your server?>
[16:03] <MagicJ> BluesKaj: I just did the sudo apt-get install - it asked me ONLY, which users to add to the group and I did do that
[16:03] <sacarlson> MagicJ: rfkill will enable and disable your wifi device and tell you if it is enabled
[16:03] <deface> snimavat, #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
[16:03] <deface> snimavat, can you ssh localhost  ?
[16:03] <snimavat> i was logged in using ssh, i did apt-get upgrade, thn loged out and now when i try to login, connection refused on port 22
[16:04] <snimavat> No, its a VPS
[16:04] <edbian> snimavat, Can you ping the machine?  Can you physically walk up to the machine?
[16:04] <snimavat> I can ping, i cant walk to machine, its a vps
[16:05] <deface> snimavat, use the control panel from your hosting company to reboot it
[16:05] <snimavat> edbian: ?
[16:05] <Jasonn> snimavat: tell the provider/host of the VPS to reconfigure SSH for you then
[16:05] <snimavat> reboot would solve the issue ?
[16:05] <edbian> snimavat, a reboot might.  But how are you gonna reboot without logging in?
[16:06] <deface> edbian, its hosted elsewhere, he should have a control panel
[16:06] <Jasonn> edbian: with the hoting company's CP
[16:06] <llutz> snimavat: don't you have a recovery-console/rescue-system available?
[16:06] <edbian> snimavat, My next instruction would be to go to the machine and log in normally.  Check that ssh is running, check the config file, try to log in from that machine into itself.
[16:06] <MagicJ> sacarlson: rfkill lists one device and says that it is unblocked
[16:06] <snimavat> I can login to solusvm
[16:06] <deface> edbian, its a colo, go google 'vps'
[16:06] <edbian> deface, snimavat my mistake.  Try to reboot it
[16:07] <sacarlson> MagicJ: well with that and you still don't see AP's then maybe it's the lower driver to the device
[16:07] <anon2847> Hi. I'm looking for a file-tagging solution (standalone software, nautilus add-on, anything) that allows me to tag files and subsequently search using these tags. Anyone knows if such a thing exists please?

[16:11] <friendishan> Jasonn: trying to run install.sh
[16:11] <BluesKaj> sacarlson, I still think he needs to configure the driver settings ..telling us what it doesn't do isn't helping
[16:11] <MagicJ> sacarlson: lshw shows it to be there - mac address etc - nt much more info though - what am I looking for
[16:11] <Jasonn> friendishan: did you already cd the folder?
[16:11] <Jasonn> friendishan: cd into the folder**
[16:12] <friendishan> Jasonn: I'm a newbie, don't know much, what do i need to do?
[16:12] <sacarlson> MagicJ: I see others have had problems with that device http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5835
[16:12] <hylian> i was wondering how to start a console app, like nano from gnome, for instance alt-f2, or in the menu.
[16:12] <Jasonn> friendishan: did you already untar the file??
[16:13] <friendishan> Yep
[16:13] <friendishan> Jasonn: Yep
[16:13] <Jasonn> friendishan: do: cd FILELOCATIONHERE
[16:13] <dtrf4837> when you access xorg.conf, is it supposed to be empty?
[16:14] <friendishan> Jasonn: file location path to install.sh?
[16:14] <ruan> dtrf4837: mine isn't empty
[16:14] <MagicJ> sacarlson: not sure what that page gives me - I do not have errors in the dmesg file - it looks like it works
[16:14] <Jasonn> friendishan: file location to the folder containing install.sh | Basically where you untarred the file
[16:14] <waxrose> hylian, Some thing like this ? http://do.davebsd.com/
[16:14] <sacarlson> MagicJ: I haven't found a solution only more people trying things here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9939138
[16:15] <hylian> how do i set up an app that normally is console only, i.e. nano, in a gui environment like gnome? (in stead of opening gnome-terminal, and then the app)
[16:15] <dtrf4837> ruan is it supposed to be empty after you just installed ubuntu?
[16:15] <hylian> waxrose, i will check that out, thanx
[16:15] <ruan> dtrf4837: not sure
[16:15] <waxrose> hylian, It allows you to quickly launch applications and no problem.
[16:15] <hylian> waxrose, no. i want to make a menu link to programs like nano, mocp, etc.
[16:16] <waxrose> oh
[16:16] <friendishan> Jasson: friendishan@craptast:~$ sudo cd /home/friendishan/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall/install.sh
[16:16] <friendishan> [sudo] password for friendishan:
[16:16] <friendishan> sudo: cd: command not found
[16:16] <friendishan> friendishan@craptast:~$
[16:16] <FloodBot2> friendishan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:16] <friendishan> err.. forgot to use paste
[16:16] <hylian> waxrose, what has to happen is that first something like gnome-terminal runs, and then it runs the console only app, like nano. i know it can be done, but i have been unsuccessfull using google to find it.
[16:16] <ruan> sudo cd?
[16:16] <llutz> friendishan: no sudo, no cd and for sure no "sudo cd". just" /home/friendishan/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall/install.sh"
[16:16] <Guest67322> SEXO
[16:17] <Jasonn> friendishan: why are you using sudo? Just do Cd, and dont include the install.sh in the file name
[16:17] <dtrf4837> ruan when i see instructions on xorg.conf there's always text in there but mine is always empty so i was just wondering
[16:17] <waxrose> hylian, Oh so you just want it to auto run when you open it up?
[16:17] <sacarlson> MagicJ: sounds like many had success with http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ralink-chipset-works-in-ubuntu-jaunty-not-karmic-beta-761949/  blacklist rt2800usb blacklist rt2870sta
[16:17] <llutz> friendishan: if its not executable, "bash /home/friendishan/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall/install.sh"
[16:17] <Jasonn> friendishan: first do: cd ymsmiley
[16:18] <Jasonn> friendishan: then do: cd smileythemeinstall
[16:18] <sacarlson> MagicJ: if that fails you should try rotate between them to find what will work for you
[16:18] <Jasonn> then do ./install.sh
[16:18] <Untouchab1e> So im trying to Install ubuntu 10.10 x64 on a HP pavilion dv3500 and when booting up the live cd I get: GLib-WARNING ** getpwuid_r(): failed due touknown user id (0)
[16:18] <hylian> waxrose, no, i can do that. i want to make a button for those programs, so it saves a step. it can be done. and no, not at startup, anytime. i just cant figure the bugger out. :)
[16:19] <Untouchab1e> followed by an infinite number of "stdin: error 0"
[16:19] <Untouchab1e> messages
[16:19] <Untouchab1e> any ideas?
[16:19] <friendishan> Jasson: I need to just do cd ymsmiley    or there's a path?
[16:19] <waxrose> hylian, Like a desktop button?
[16:19] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: any reason you want the 64 bit?
[16:19] <MagicJ> sacarlson: anyway to cause that blacklist to be read without re-booting?
[16:19] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: yeah? more than 4GB of RAM
[16:20] <Jasonn> friendishan: you are already auto-placed in: /home/USERNAME
[16:20] <Jasonn> friendishan: so now you just type cd ymsmiley
[16:20] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: try the laternate CD
[16:20] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: ALTERNATE*
[16:20] <hylian> waxrose, by george i think i found it! "gnome-terminal -e 'killall conky'"
[16:20] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: yeah, downloading it now
[16:20] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: that would honestly be your best bet
[16:21] <waxrose> hylian, Yeah, I figured you just wanted a desktop launcher which you could easily just put in a command and it'll launch it via terminal.
[16:21] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: thanks, ill give it a go
[16:21] <hylian> waxrose, actually, my intent is to make using the console easier by making some apps available in the gnome menu. i am trying to make console shock less prevolent for a certain family member.
[16:21] <MagicJ> I haved edited the moidprobe blacklist - any way to cause it to be read without a re-boot
[16:21] <friendishan> Jasson: friendishan@craptast:~/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall$ ./install.sh (Enter) friendishan@craptast:~/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall$
[16:21] <sacarlson> MagicJ: you can try rmmod ldmod modprobe http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-doc/2004-June/000599.html
[16:22] <waxrose> hylian, Well like I said you could just make desktop launchers that runs those commands.
[16:22] <Jasonn> friendishan: ok, now type ./install.sh
[16:22] <dtrf4837> i need to edit xorg.conf. the website i'm looking at has text in the xorg.conf. since mine is empty, should i just copy it and paste it in my xorg.conf?
[16:22] <Jasonn> !pastebin | friendishan
[16:22] <xrdodrx> how do I make the volume bar make a noise when scrolling the slider back in forth like in Windows? I can't judge how loud sound will be
[16:23] <hylian> waxrose, true, but i like my desktop to be an empty wasteland.  anyways, this command does the trick: gnome-terminal -e 'app name', i.e. gnome-terminal -e 'nano'
[16:23] <friendishan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/576027/ Jasson
[16:23] <ruan> Untouchab1e: remember to verify the integrity of the iso before burning it.
[16:23] <dtrf4837> i'm doing this to add openchrome drivers
[16:24] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: yeah
[16:24] <Jasonn> friendishan: are you sure that install.sh is in that folder?
[16:24] <waxrose> hylian, Check out commandlinefu.com as well. They have a lot of nifty tricks that you may be able to implement.
[16:24] <waxrose> http://commandlinefu.com *
[16:24] <friendishan> Jasonn: I believe it got executed as the folder smileytheme existed before
[16:24] <hylian> waxrose, thanks for the tip
[16:25] <Untouchab1e> ruan: where can I find the MD5 value to compare it to?
[16:25] <friendishan> Jasson: I used install.sh twice and the second time it gave error
[16:25] <meelu> i want to install freenx on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) x64, i had problems before when connecting on my last setup, is there anything i should know about the compatibility and a setup guide for this version because i googled and saw many users run into the same problem with this version but i couldn't find an answer
[16:25] <ruan> !md5
[16:25] <meelu> *?
[16:25] <Untouchab1e> thanks
[16:26] <waxrose> meelu,  Did you refer to this ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[16:26] <friendishan> Jasson: Thanks it works :)
[16:26] <Jasonn> friendishan: no problem :)
[16:28] <meelu> yes waxrose
[16:29] <snimavat> Guyz.. i just reloaded OS
[16:29] <snimavat> And not it works
[16:29] <snimavat> I created a new user and when i login with the new user, i dont see any colors or, prompt starts with $
[16:30] <Jasonn> !enter | snimavat
[16:30] <snimavat> though i have .bashrc but it doesnt seem to have been executed
[16:30] <Jasonn> snimavat: try reinstalling
[16:30] <llutz> snimavat: " echo $SHELL" says what?
[16:31] <snimavat> aah, sh
[16:31] <waxrose> meelu, Maybe I should have fully read you question. I havn't heard of any compatibility issues. Did you try #nx ?
[16:31] <snimavat> how do i change it
[16:31] <waxrose> your*
[16:31] <llutz> snimavat: usermod
[16:31] <meelu> IL try now
[16:31] <meelu> thanks
[16:31] <waxrose> meelu, No problem. :)
[16:31] <snimavat> gr8, let me do some googling on it now, thanks a lot
[16:31] <dtrf4837> i just edited 'File: /var/tmp/xorg.conf.XXlf1v8f' and now i need to save it. how do i save it?
[16:32] <waxrose> dtrf4837, What are you using to save it?
[16:32] <llutz> snimavat: usermod -s /bin/bash user
[16:32] <Haegin> hi, would the retarded behaviour of rubygems installing to /var/lib/gems (which requires root) and then making the installed apps which are symlinked in /usr/bin only readable by the owner (which is, of course, root) be considered a bug?
[16:32] <dtrf4837> waxrose i opened xorg.conf in terminal
[16:32] <snimavat> gr8
[16:32] <waxrose> dtrf4837, vim?
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  opened it with?
[16:32] <llutz> snimavat: or "man chsh"
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  why  are you editng /var/tmp/xorg.conf/XXxxxxxx  anyway?
[16:33] <dtrf4837> i opened it with terminal
[16:33] <Untouchab1e> Jasonn: the alternate CD install says "your installation cd-rom coulndt be mounted. This probably means that the cd-rom was not in the drive. if so you can insert it and try again.
[16:33] <ramji> hello I've got some visibility issues on google earth
[16:33] <waxrose> dtrf4837, If it was vim then you can type.... ":w" to save the file.
[16:33] <snimavat> worked, not it shows me sudhir@domain:~$
[16:34] <dtrf4837> Dr_Willis because i need to add openchrome drivers. my monitor isnt detected
[16:34] <waxrose> dtrf4837, Wait, I mean hit the "esc" key first then type ":w"
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  you use the terminal to run programs.. such as 'editorname /path/to/file/to/edit.txt'
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  you want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf i imagine. but it may be making a tmp file.
[16:34] <snimavat> but still when in home directory and i do ls -l  I get total 0, but when i do nano ~/.bashrc the file exists
[16:34] <llutz> snimavat: ls -la
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> snimavat:  ls -al = shows hidden .files
[16:35] <Jasonn> Untouchab1e: no idea mate, best to ask someone else about this particular issue, i thought the laternate CD might fix it
[16:35] <waxrose> dtrf4837, It would be helpful if you told us which editor you opened it in though.
[16:35] <dtrf4837> i'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome which was suggested to me
[16:35] <snimavat> :) thanks a lot
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   or similer...
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  so which editor did you use? vi? nano? pico? gedit?
[16:36] <tom___> 4
[16:36] <waxrose> dtrf4837, That is using nano. Use ctrl + x to save.
[16:36] <dtrf4837> waxrose sorry i didnt understand. ok it says 'GNU nano 2.2.4' on top
[16:37] <waxrose> dtrf4837, It will then prompt you to save which should be a "y" for yes.
[16:37] <Wespe> I have some questions.
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  notice at the bootom it mentions ^h and ^x  - the ^ = the ctrl key.
[16:37] <Wespe> I'd like to use this machine for tor, so my computers at school can bypass the University's firewall.
[16:39] <waxrose> dtrf4837, Next time you edit a file, instead of using sudoedit, you can use some thing such as "sudo gedit" which will open the file in a more use friendly editor.
[16:39] <dtrf4837> Dr_Willis oh ok...but i dont see ^h there
[16:39] <waxrose> user friendly*
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  You understand how it works now.. so read whats there and do what you n eed to do> :)
[16:39] <Ububegin> d
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  if you did not start it with 'sudo' you may need to save the file to your home. then copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:40] <dtrf4837> ok thanks...i was trying to follow what the webpage said to do
[16:40] <waxrose> dtrf4837, If you want to save that file and exit then press ---->>  ctrl then x ...... "y" for yes to confirm.... and then enter.
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> dtrf4837:  they assume you know the basics i guess. :)
[16:42] <waxrose> Wespe, Why do you want to bypass the firewall?
[16:42] <dtrf4837> hey if i am in terminal and i access xorg.conf from there by typing the command for that, does that mean i am still in that terminal or did i leave the terminal and enter xorg.conf?
[16:43] <edbian> dtrf4837, You are using the terminal to run a program that views xorg.conf
[16:43] <dtrf4837> edbian i see
[16:43] <edbian> dtrf4837, the terminal is not a place (location) it is an app.  Like firefox or irc
[16:43] <edbian> dtrf4837, yep
[16:43] <stefwal> QUESTION: where is my trashbin? I want it on my desktop
[16:43] <mongy> anyone know what file in lxde/lubuntu is equivalent to the /etc/gdm/custom.conf ?
[16:44] <dtrf4837> ohh
[16:44] <ruan> is it possible to run more than one process at once with terminal?
[16:44] <psion> yeah
[16:44] <ruan> how?
[16:44] <edbian> ruan, yes, put a & after the command
[16:44] <waxrose> stefwal, Either ~/Trash or ~/.local/share/Trash
[16:44] <psion> if you want to start something in the background do: command &
[16:44] <edbian> ruan, as in firefox&
[16:44] <ruan> edbian: ah
[16:44] <edbian> ruan, yep
[16:44] <waxrose> ~/.Trash *
[16:44] <psion> if you want to have one terminal but be working on more than one thing, use the screen command
[16:45] <psion> after typing screen, use ctrl+a+c to create a new window
[16:45] <psion> ctrl+a+a to return to previous window, ctrl+a+n to go to next window
[16:45] <ruan> how do i close a window?
[16:46] <stefwal> waxrose thx
[16:46] <psion> note that you hold ctrl while pressing both of the keys
[16:46] <waxrose> stefwal, No problem. :)
[16:46] <Wespe> waxrose: So I can download torrents.
[16:46] <Ors> Hi! Could anyone assist me how to set up my PCMCIA usb2.0 4 ports card?
[16:46] <edbian> ruan, kill that process
[16:46] <psion> ruan: if you're in a terminal you can hit ctrl+d
[16:46] <psion> or type exit
[16:47] <waxrose> Wespe, You probably shouldn't be downloading torrents from school. But you can ssh tunnel if you want to bypass them. Just get a remote server like your own VPS and just ssh tunnel into it. You will probably spend a lot on bandwidth though.
[16:47] <Wespe> I don't know how to do that.
[16:48] <psion> Wespe: just google ssh tunneling, there's lots of guides
[16:48] <Wespe> Alright.
[16:48] <Wespe> Thanks.
[16:49] <meelu> whats a simple freenx alternative for ubuntu i can setup very easily so i can view from my wndows pc
[16:50] <pcpower> vnc ?
[16:50] <psion> meelu: I use xrdp, it can be easy to setup.  sometimes it becomes a pain though
[16:50] <meelu> thanks
[16:50] <waxrose> Wespe, This might help to get you started. http://goo.gl/khyLj
[16:51] <Hedgehog456> when a window turns blue what does that mean?
[16:51] <psion> meelu: there's also vino, a program built in that allows remote desktop.  I'm pretty sure it uses vnc and not rdp though
[16:51] <waxrose> Hedgehog456, A browser window?
[16:51] <psion> Hedgehog456: it's deprived of oxygen
[16:51] <waxrose> psion, lol
[16:51] <piotrek131313> hi
[16:51] <ruan> lol
[16:51] <Hedgehog456> no, any window
[16:51] <edbian> Hedgehog456, They're turning gray because they're 'unresponsive'
[16:51] <cinnabarisland12> hello, I've just got a HP G62-18SA and can't get the Bluetooth to detect my LG KP500, does anyone know what I can do? (in Windows 7 atm)
[16:51] <ruan> Hedgehog456: do you mean grey?
[16:51] <piotrek131313> hi
[16:51] <waxrose> Hedgehog456, Maybe they lagged out.
[16:51] <waxrose> lol
[16:51] <Hedgehog456> maybe, i'm colourblind
[16:52] <waxrose> ruan, You can type gray or grey. Same meaning.
[16:52] <edbian> waxrose, he said 'blue' originally
[16:52] <Atlantic777> I've got some problems with booting ubuntu and xubunut live disks. It just hangs... Ubuntu disk stops at splash screen and xubuntu after chosing to install it. What to do?
[16:52] <piotrek131313> how to fix grub ??
[16:52] <ruan> !grub2 | piotrek131313
[16:52] <waxrose> edbian, I know,  I just can't read properly at that moment. haha
[16:52] <piotrek131313> installed ubuntu after 7 now 7 will not load
[16:53] <Atlantic777> Both cds are well burned, i've installed from them many times.
[16:53] <edbian> Atlantic777, Try booting with the HDD's disconnected
[16:53] <Logan_> !bluetooth | cinnabarisland12
[16:53] <Atlantic777> edbian: ok..
[16:53] <edbian> Atlantic777, Usually a live CD won't boot because the cd is bad or there is some piece of hardware that is not good on the system.  (usually hard to tell cause windows boots regardless of this sort of thing)
[16:54] <NotTooDumb3> what is the good website where i can download full english movie as one file?
[16:54] <Logan_> !ot | NotTooDumb3
[16:54] <ruan> Atlantic777: otherwise you can try pressing enter at the first livecd screen you get, to go straight to installation
[16:54] <piotrek131313> funny thing though win7 is still on grub list just doesnt load and comes back to grub menu
[16:54] <viswanathgs> elricL, ?
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> Atlantic777:  whasts your video chipset? if its nvidia you may want ty try the 'nomodeset' option. (hit space when you see a man/image at the boot screen, then hit f6 in the options menus)
[16:54] <ruan> Atlantic777: a text interface that lets you go straight to installation*
[16:55] <aaadem> is it possible to install another x interface like xfce or even kde without removing gnome.  id like to just be able to switch to xfce with a command but if i dont ubuntu still works just loke normal
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> aaadem:  you can have a dozen 'desktops' installed at the same time...
[16:55] <fidyduce> can anyone help me edit an iso??
[16:55] <edbian> aaadem, yes, just install them in synaptic
[16:55] <Elirips> fidyduce, what do you want to do with it?
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> aaadem:  your menus may get a bit cluttered.. but GDm should have a menu to select what desktop to load to.
[16:55] <edbian> aaadem, Then you choose them with the session menu when you log in
[16:55] <dbugger> Hello, how can I install the gd PHP module?
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> aaadem:  i got Gnome, KDE, and Lxde all on this box.
[16:56] <fidyduce> Elirips: just add a folder to the desktop of the live session...
[16:56] <Pilif12p> okay... how do i see what i have on one partition if it just won't mount
[16:56] <mix22891> ------------- Linux more fun More secure More beauty THEN WINDOWS!---------
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> Pilif12p:  mount it by hand and it gives an error? or what exactly.
[16:56] <aaadem> lol awesome!  those are just the answeres i was looking for
[16:57] <Pilif12p> Dr_Willis: tanner@tanner-laptop:~$ mount /dev/sda2 mount: can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[16:57] <Wespe> waxrose: Belated thanks. And w9ith that I got AFK.
[16:57] <Pilif12p> (Those were 2 lines)
[16:57] <deveras> I have apache2 installed in the latest ubuntu OS. I've apt got apache and php5, en2mod tells me that the module is loaded, but in the browser it offers to download the php file. I've re-installed both, same thing happends, rebooted apache, same thing
[16:57] <xfgghjlsine> ok really stupid question now... txt which is blue in terminal is a file correct ?
[16:57] <psion> Pilif12p: what kind of partition is sda2?
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> Pilif12p:  you are not giveing the right optiomns to mount..
[16:57] <waxrose> Wespe, You are welcome. :)
[16:57] <Elirips> fidyduce, try to mount the .iso file using 'mount -o loop myiso.iso /media/myiso'. Then edit it in there, unmount, and burn the myiso.iso to a new cd/dvd
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> !mount | Pilif12p
[16:58] <Elirips> fidyduce, I *think* that should work
[16:58] <marcus> Buonasera a tutti
[16:58] <piotrek131313> is there grub configurator
[16:58] <piotrek131313> it seemed to be in suse
[16:58] <psion> Pilif12p: it's mount -t type /dev/sda2 /folder/to/mount/it
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> piotrek131313:  ive not seen one for ubuntu, yet.
[16:58] <ruan> piotrek131313: there is a super grub disk, but you can also run update-grub2 from livecd

[16:59] <Pilif12p> psion: does it matter where i mount it?
[16:59] <psion> Pilif12p: if you wanted to mount an ntfs partition, an example would be: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/win
[16:59] <piotrek131313> what commands shuould start win 7
[16:59] <psion> Pilif12p: doesn't matter, just make sure you're mounting it to an empty directory
[17:00] <psion> Pilif12p: by convention, most people mount it inside of /mnt or /media
[17:01] <piotrek131313> i ve got grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
[17:01] <piotrek131313> is that correct one
[17:01] <Pilif12p> psion: http://pastebin.com/p8ZGJERH
[17:01] <edbian> piotrek131313, that's grub 2  :)  Great version number isn't it?

[17:03] <Guest43769> ed1703, no but it should show me all drives on that same hdd
[17:03] <psion> Pilif12p: is it working now then?

[17:05] <dtrf4837> ok i followed the webpage and rebooted and now my monitor resolution is up to 1280 x 720 but it really should be 1680 x 1050 and it still says 'monitor: unknown'
[17:05] <edbian> Guest43769, That is odd.  I don't know

[17:08] <dtrf4837> oh i still need to read the section 'VIA proprietary graphics driver for Chrome9'
[17:08] <DOokami> in terminal ,, if i want to multiply the numbers from 1 to 9999999 ,, how can i do that
[17:08] <DOokami> i used to do it on MS-DOS but forgot how to
[17:09] <edbian> DOokami, you mean like 99999999 factorial?
[17:09] <shcherbak> DOokami: check bc
[17:10] <DOokami> edbian, i mean like 2x1~9999999
[17:11] <DOokami> shcherbak, check bc ?
[17:11] <drc> DOokami: looking for someone to do your homework for you?
[17:11] <edbian> DOokami, That's the same as 99999999 factorial.  999999 * 999998 * 9999999997 ...
[17:11] <shcherbak> DOokami: bc - bash calculator, use loop
[17:11] <Random832> bc does _not_ stand for "bash calculator" :P
[17:11] <DOokami> drc, no ,, wanna show my bro how "smart" a computer can be
[17:11] <shcherbak> Random832: hm, but could
[17:11] <r3c0n> hi can anyone help with vsftp?
[17:12] <dtrf4837> oh no that section is only for ubuntu 10.04. i'm on 10.10. looks like i'm stuck with 1280 x 720
[17:12] <Daekdroom> fact(9999999) has no practical use and takes too long to calc
[17:12] <Random832> no, because it existed a decade before bash
[17:12] <DOokami> shcherbak, i'm looking for the "code"
[17:12] <friendly_user> )
[17:12] <DOokami> daekdroom, 99999 then ,, i just wanna see the "computing" speed ya know
[17:12] <vish> friendly_user: thanks :)
[17:12] <Pilif12p> for this partition it says "Cluster accounting (numbers, etc) extra cluster in $Bitmap" What does this mean?
[17:12] <Random832> bash stands for "bourne again shell", a pun on "bourne shell" which was named for stephen bourne
[17:12] <DOokami> what's the syntax ..
[17:12] <edbian> DOokami, pthon; import math; math.factorial(9999999)
[17:12] <friendly_user> when I try to record using front mic I just get a BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP sound
[17:12] <Pilif12p> in gparted
[17:13] <Random832> bc stands for i think "better calculator" [better than dc, which uses a RPN interface and is harder to program
[17:13] <dejan_> My ubuntu 10.10 is just installed and fine however when I edit text (copy cut) I spotted that whole system is freezing for very short time (1 sec) why this can be? I installed ubuntu wth no swap (0) maybe this is why or?
[17:13] <shcherbak> DOokami: for i in {1..99999}; do; <function>; done;
[17:13] <Jasonn> dejan_: how much ram do you have?
[17:13] <edbian> dejan_, Get a swap.  Took at top
[17:13] <dejan_> 1 gb
[17:13] <dejan_> I am not sure if this is happeing only in mozzila
[17:13] <shcherbak> DOokami: but bash is not good for it.
[17:13] <Elirips> fidyduce, make the directory first
[17:14] <DOokami> shcherbak: ,, so i can't do that in bash at all ?
[17:14] <Random832> Pilif12p: boot into windows and run chkdsk /f
[17:14] <dejan_> what you think why this can happen?
[17:14] <waxrose> dejan_, Ubuntu's default Firefox is a bit buggy anyways so that could be a reason.
[17:14]  * Pilif12p hates windows.
[17:15] <Random832> linux doesn't have a tool to repair NTFS partitions
[17:15] <Pilif12p> aw
[17:15] <Pilif12p> well, i'll return with results
[17:15] <dejan_> I think its because i set visual effects to high..
[17:15] <dejan_> now I think is normal i ve set to normal
[17:15] <waxrose> dejan_, I am guessing that it is running on high processing.
[17:15] <dejan_> so why is this coz of ram?
[17:15] <dejan_> waxrose maybe its that the reason..
[17:15] <shcherbak> DOokami: one moment
[17:16] <dejan_> no
[17:16] <dejan_> again
[17:16] <waxrose> dejan_, The default Ubuntu tends to be a resource monster so some times.
[17:16] <waxrose> i mean
[17:16] <waxrose> default firefox
[17:16] <waxrose> sorry
[17:16] <dejan_> its ot like real freeze but like a bug or I don;t know :S
[17:16] <DOokami> shcherbak: alright ,, i'll brb too ,, try to IM me plz ,, thanks :)
[17:16] <cryke> hello. has anybody problems with resizing the screen in games? i have nvidia 7600 gs videocard. OS - Ubuntu 10.10. When i load a game (for example, teeworlds) and the game tries to change screen resolution to 800x600 Xorg freezez. Black screen and nothing more.
[17:17] <dejan_> waxrose :  i will check in text editror ad report shortly - thanks
[17:17] <waxrose> dejan_, Try using chromium-browser and seeing if you experience the same issue. If not then it's most likely firefox
[17:18] <shcherbak> DOokami: for i in {1..9}; do s=$((1 * $i)); echo $s; done;
[17:18] <Thrawn> how can i prevent ubuntu 10.10 from automatically locking my screen if computer is idle for ~5 minutes?
[17:18] <dejan_> waxrose I will test yes and i will report
[17:18] <stefwal> QUESTION: in my /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/desktopcouch/records I had a link to a server.py file. Problem is I deleted de link. Can anyone give me the location to where the link was pointing??
[17:19] <dejan_> waxrose btw swap is only used when whole ram is used at the moment?
[17:19] <shcherbak> Thrawn: menu > Preferencies > Screenserver, and untick Lock screen...
[17:19] <dejan_> waxrose its ubuntu :S
[17:19] <carbonate> Hey if I wanted to prepare a Harddrive for booting what partition scheme would I use?
[17:19] <Thrawn> thx
[17:19] <dejan_> in gedit also
[17:20] <dejan_> why can thi be happeninng it aoys me :(
[17:20] <waxrose> dejan_, Yeah that is from my understanding.
[17:20] <dejan_> annoys*
[17:20] <waxrose> hmm
[17:20] <dejan_> anyone else experiencing little freeze when copying text?
[17:21] <Jasonn> dejan_: How much ram do you have
[17:21] <Jasonn> ?
[17:21] <waxrose> dejan_, Go to system --> administration --> system monitor and check to see if some thing is taking up resources.
[17:21] <OerHeks> dejan_, all i can think of, is about what source is the txt ? browser ?
[17:21] <dejan_> it happens only when I copy text very fast with ctrl+c
[17:21] <dejan_> :S
[17:21] <dejan_> 1 gb
[17:21] <dejan_> sec
[17:21] <Jasonn> !who | dejan_
[17:22] <dejan_> waxrose no no my ram is free 800 mb
[17:22] <dejan_> and cpu only 10%
[17:22] <dejan_> OerHEks in gedit also is ubuntu
[17:22] <dejan_> or my pc
[17:22] <dejan_> maybe its my pc im not sure
[17:22] <dejan_> OerHeks no matter what text
[17:23] <waxrose> The only thing I can think of is that some thing is spiking on processing.
[17:23] <dejan_> i formated with journal4.. don't remember right name, and made no swap i have 1gb but my resources are free
[17:23] <waxrose> dejan_, ext4
[17:23] <dejan_> however i had some erros when installing
[17:24] <drc> dejan_: 1gb of what?
[17:24] <dejan_> waxrose yes I think that, the first option that gave me..
[17:24] <Jasonn> Wait a min, where did 1000 people go?
[17:24] <dejan_> drc what is lgb?
[17:24] <waxrose> dejan_, It's probably wise to always have a swap unless you have more than 4+ gigs of ram.
[17:24] <drc> dejan_: " made no swap i have 1gb "  1gb of what?
[17:24] <waxrose> drc, I believe ram.
[17:24] <dejan_> waxrose its a matter of time when I reinstall it I had no experience with formmating
[17:25] <dejan_> also tell me what kind of format should I use?
[17:25] <dejan_> drc : 1gb of Ram
[17:25] <dejan_> 100 gb hdd
[17:25] <waxrose> dejan_, You typically should stick to the default until you gain experience in formatting partitions.
[17:25] <rigved> dejan_: swap is used during hibernation. so it should always be created
[17:25] <dejan_> waxrose : what is default ? :S
[17:26] <drc> waxrose: thought so but was just checking...loose track sometimes in this volume :)
[17:26] <waxrose> Ubuntu should now default to ext4 and provide a swap if I am not mistaken.
[17:26] <davdo> +1
[17:26] <waxrose> drc, It's fine, I lose track all the time as well. lol
[17:26] <Elssha> hi, I'm trying to make an install usb for 10.10 and it won't work
[17:26] <dejan_> rigved yes I know now but what about formating options what formating should I choose? fat32 fat16 ext4 what they differ in?
[17:26] <waxrose> Elssha, On Ubuntu or windows?
[17:26] <Elssha> i tried it on both
[17:26] <Elssha> neither works
[17:26] <davdo> +1
[17:27] <cato_> ext4 for ubuntu
[17:27] <rigved> dejan_: ext4 for / and linux-swap (also called swap area) for the swap
[17:27] <Elssha> i changed my boot up sequence to have the usb flash boot first
[17:27] <waxrose> Elssha, Did you try to Ubuntu "startup disk creator"?
[17:27] <Elssha> yes
[17:27] <alberto_> oin #ubuntustudio
[17:27] <edbian> dejan_, You can read all about the on Wikipedia.  It's a major area of computer science research.  ext4 is best for Ubuntu to sit on though.  fat 32 and fat 16 have limiting file sizes for example.
[17:27] <Elssha> as well as the windows method
[17:27] <waxrose> Elssha, Oh so you are just having problems actually booting it?
[17:27] <Elssha> yup
[17:27] <dejan_> rigved ok thanks, and swap on special partitions for the swap or?
[17:27] <rigved> dejan_: give swap atleast 2 GB and make sure that it's at the end of the hdd
[17:27] <Elssha> when i went into windows it looked like it was all good
[17:27] <dejan_> i think i will learn of these things
[17:27] <[TK]D-Fender> Elssha: Did you choose to try booting off USB?  Did you get some kind of error you could share with us?  Any kind of information at all?
[17:28] <rigved> dejan_: yes, there is a special option for swap
[17:28] <dejan_> sry bothering but why is this happening why pc freezes
[17:28] <waxrose> Elssha, Try restarting then pressing the key that brings up your boot options. Typicall it is either F8 or F12.
[17:28] <Elssha> only error i get is that it goes into the normal boot log vs booting from it
[17:28] <dejan_> when i use ctrl_c fast to copy text
[17:28] <waxrose> typically*
[17:28] <friendly_user> In pavucontrol what does "set as fallback" means?!
[17:28] <cato_> try unbootin
[17:28] <dejan_> it happens no matter if i copy text or no when i pres ctrl-c combo pc freezes for 1 sec
[17:28] <alberto_> anybody knows how to make dssi-vst work?
[17:29] <petan> !ubottu
[17:29] <Elssha> in windows i can click open the box dialogue window with the 'hi, try or install ubuntu off cd' stuff and it has other files on the drive
[17:29] <davdo> join #linux
[17:29] <Elssha> so i don't think it's a problem with the info being there
[17:29] <cato_> test
[17:30] <edbian> cato_, fizz
[17:30] <Elssha> and like i said, i changed my startup sequence to usb first, then optic, then HD
[17:30] <dejan_> anyone else experience freeze for 1 sec when press ctrl-c?
[17:30] <friendly_user> In pavucontrol what does "set as fallback" means?!
[17:30] <Elssha> still jumps to the grub bootloader asking if i want ubuntu or windows
[17:30] <dejan_> it happens when i press ctrl with any other key :S
[17:31] <dejan_> it happens when i press any 2 buttons at same time..
[17:31] <dejan_> :D
[17:31] <petan> !package libgtk
[17:31] <dejan_> :S
[17:31] <petan> what is that cmd
[17:31] <waxrose> Elssha, Like I said, try to restart your computer and press the key that starts up the boot process which is either F8 or F12. If not then you may need to try to format the usb and reinstall Ubuntu on the usb
[17:31] <will__> I think it might just check if there is a shortcut set for those keys
[17:31] <petan> for browsing apt
[17:31] <Elssha> okay, i'll try
[17:31] <andrew8806> anyone know how to burn img?
[17:31] <apter> Do someone have a link to commands in terminal?
[17:31] <gartral> is there a way too unind a laptop's powerbutton.. or add a delay too read it? my laptop has the power button very close too Backspace, which, is a very common key!
[17:31] <edbian> andrew8806, I do.  On linux or windows?
[17:31] <andrew8806> edbian: linux
[17:31] <dejan_> will__ its ot annoying that much im just wondering why it happens
[17:32] <apter> andrew8806: wich OS?
[17:32] <andrew8806> my VM wont recognize my dvdrw
[17:32] <waxrose> apter, http://ss64.com/bash/
[17:32] <edbian> gartral, change what it does.  System -> Preferences -> Power Management
[17:32] <dejan_> maybe it happens after i set local language support with shift+alt
[17:32] <cato_> .
[17:32] <apter> waxrose: Thank you!
[17:32] <shcherbak> !abs > apter
[17:32] <waxrose> apter, No problem. :D
[17:32] <friendly_user> !sound
[17:32] <edbian> andrew8806, use brasero, or K3b, or gnome-baker.  They make it easy
[17:32] <andrew8806> brasero doesnt support img
[17:32] <friendly_user> !players
[17:32] <waxrose> apter, Also, check out http://commandlinefu.com
[17:33] <dejan_> it will not happen with ctrl alt shift combo just with one of this combo with other 'normal' keys
[17:33] <andrew8806> k3b is no longer on the web
[17:33] <apter> waxrose : Thank you
[17:33] <gartral> edbian: there's no "do nothing" option... and the ask my has a timer that powers off the laptop, highly annoying
[17:33] <edbian> andrew8806, ? http://www.k3b.org/
[17:33] <andrew8806> he removed it
[17:33] <andrew8806> edbian: i know... all he has is source
[17:33] <edbian> gartral, Ahhh, I see.  haha IDK? sorry :(
[17:34] <edbian> andrew8806, use gnome-baker or brasero
[17:34] <andrew8806> i will look @ gnome-baker... once again brasero doesnt support .img files
[17:34] <edbian> andrew8806, ooooh,  sorry didn't realize that was the problem!
[17:35] <gartral> andrew8806: dd..
[17:35] <andrew8806> ?

[17:43] <Elssha> This is re: installing 10.10 off a USB
[17:44] <hihihi100> is installing from source difficult?
[17:44] <ugliefrog> what is the full adress of  a folder on one pc as it seen from another pc
[17:44] <gartral> dejan_ that's a feature, not a bug, go into System>Preferences>Mouse>Touchpad and you'll see a tick called "Disable Touchpad when typing"
[17:45] <giiker> After update I can't  print to file (PDF) anymore in open office
[17:45] <giiker> I can do it thought in gedit...
[17:45] <giiker> I can do it though in gedit...
[17:46] <amin> hi
[17:46] <Elssha> Anyone know how to make the USB install work?
[17:46] <carbonate> Can someone tell me if I'm bonkers for thinking this? If I set up a partition using disk utility as being 7gb Name Install and extracted the contents of natty-dvd-amd64 to it I could configure lilo or grub to boot from it and install to another partition on the same drive named Ubuntu 16gb?
[17:46] <gartral> Elssha: first we have too know what's wrong
[17:47] <Elssha> When I first start the boot the light on it does blink
[17:47] <amin> How could I power on the off server just by ssh and ip   I just have root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[17:47] <dejan_> I am sorry guys
[17:47] <Elssha> So the comp Is reading it
[17:47] <ogzy> i need help about pwauth, here is the description http://paste.ubuntu.com/576068/ any ides why it is not working?
[17:47] <dejan_> i feel stupid now :| i had disable touchpad when typing..
[17:47] <edbian> amin, if you're root just log in and shutdown -r not  to reboot
[17:47] <Elssha> But it won't enter the install screen
[17:47] <dejan_> I panic in a very short time
[17:48] <gartral> carbonate: you are indeed loony, you cannot, under any circumstances repartition your boot drive.
[17:48] <ruan> Elssha: is the usb set as #1 boot priority?
[17:48] <Elssha> Yup
[17:48] <Jasonn> !enter | elssha
[17:48] <gartral> dejan_: i pointed that out earlier
[17:48] <carbonate> gartral: what if its already partitioned?
[17:48] <Elssha> And the lights do blink on the USB
[17:48] <dejan_> gartal : i see..
[17:48] <giiker> carbonate: you can isntall to a partition or have the iso stored in any partition and have grub boot from the installed partition or tell it where that iso iamge is.
[17:48] <ruan> Elssha: hmm, have you tried installing from wubi?
[17:49] <amin> edbian: the server is turned off how could I get it back on line
[17:49] <Elssha> So the comp does read it
[17:49] <dejan_> gartal sry was in panic coz i didnt made swap
[17:49] <Elssha> Wubi?
[17:49] <ruan> Elssha: yeah, install from hard drive i think
[17:49] <Elssha> I saw that on there when I entered windows
[17:49] <ruan> !wubi
[17:49] <carbonate> giiker: I like the idea but what if its a brand new drive with nothing on it, can I use a live USB key to install lilo or grub on it
[17:50] <matze> Nabend
[17:50] <carbonate> Elssha: Whats your problem because I think we may have the same one
[17:50] <Elssha> Will that allow me to install on a sep partition though?
[17:50] <giiker> carbonate: aas long as you have a perfectly installed distro on the USB drive you can do anything, read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[17:50] <gartral> carbonate: I thin'k the installer paretitions the swap on the drive it's working on... but it's worth a shot, looking too set up a Google-Style "varified recovery"?
[17:50] <hihihi100> i cannot use the "clean install" command, whats the correct command line?
[17:50] <giiker> carbonate: grub 2 will let you this thought, not the previous version
[17:50] <Elssha> The options I saw on it were install in windows and Restarted
[17:51] <Elssha> Which option are you suggesting I pick?
[17:51] <giiker> yeah the installer partitions an area of the disk as swap, but after isntalling it releases/unomunts it othersiwe there would be probs with the File system
[17:52] <Elssha>  Carb... In a nutshell My USB installer won't install
[17:52] <andri_nong> malem semua
[17:52] <carbonate> gartral: No, so this is the problem. I built this computer yesterday and I didnt buy a cd/dvd drive because it came with a free usb drive and I think cd/dvd drives are ugly. I used pendrivelinux to turn Ubuntu Desktop amd64 into a Live USB Key and I am using it now. I tried to use the install function but it hangs unless I remove the usb drive which obviously ruins everything.
[17:53] <waxrose> hihihi100, Tried simply make install ?
[17:53] <ruan> carbonate: that also happened to me
[17:53] <carbonate> gartral: So I'm trying to get an os installed on this sata drive so i can stop booting from the usb key
[17:53] <ruan> carbonate: i was forced to use a livecd :/
[17:53] <carbonate> :'(
[17:53] <giiker> in open office I used to have the option to print documents to PDF through the print to file option when printing documents, now that option is gone, it has to do with cups I think, any ideas anyyone?
[17:53] <gartral> giiker: he's talking crazy i think, he said he wants a 7 gb partition and a 16 gb "logical" drive block, pre-partitioned.. and have grub boot the install image off of the 7 gb and install into the 16gb space...
[17:53] <hihihi100> i did install it, successfuly, but I dont know if some traces of the installation should be erased
[17:54] <hihihi100> and, now im trying to fo a git pull, but I cannot find the correct path
[17:54] <hihihi100> do
[17:54] <carbonate> gartral: thats not right
[17:54] <gartral> carbonate: you're woes aren't a quarter a bad as you may think.. tell me, do you have another computer available?
[17:54] <carbonate> gartral: not really, my roommates kinda but i dont like using it. WHy cant I just set up a bootable drive on this sata drive i have
[17:55] <waxrose> hihihi100,  For which application?
[17:55] <carbonate> I dont understand why that is not possible
[17:55] <giiker> carbonate, why no create a live Ubuntu USB and start from there?! you don't need a CD/DVD drive to do it.
[17:55] <hihihi100> scummvm, I extracted it onto a folder in my home dir, but it seems the sudo make install installed it in usr/local
[17:55] <carbonate> giiker: I am on one right now
[17:55] <hihihi100> in usr/local/bin
[17:55] <giiker> carbonate: :-;
[17:55] <carbonate> giiker: the installer doesnt work
[17:55] <ruan> !install
[17:55] <hihihi100> I tried the git both from usr/local/bin and home/Compiled
[17:56] <amin> i install xfce on server and I want to access the server via vnc but I get command line as before
[17:56] <dv310p3r> How can I upgrade xchat via the command line?
[17:56] <gartral> carbonate: neither do i, but it sounds too me like you used a very odd way of making the install disk... i allways use unetbootin and never have a problem. the Ubuntu drive installer just doesn't work.
[17:56] <erUSUL> !latest | dv310p3r
[17:56] <carbonate> gartral: I used PenDriveLinux to make the usb drive
[17:56] <giiker> grub is so much better now, I  really appretiate the ability to boot from ISOs stored in the hard drive, I can have 50 distros to boot from :-)
[17:56] <waxrose> hihihi100, And it won't push to your git repo?
[17:57] <gartral> carbonate: yea, i know, it sounds like that your problem, too me
[17:57] <dejan_> can I set panel to hide onmouseout? and how thanks
[17:57] <dv310p3r> ubottu: thanks, but apparently the version of xchat that I'm using has a bug where my favories are never saved.
[17:57] <giiker> I think carbonate is like me, I try to do it the most difficult way... :-(
[17:57] <carbonate> is there a ubootin for windows?
[17:57] <ruan> dejan_: what is onmouseout?
[17:57] <ruan> carbonate: yes there is a unetbootin for windows
[17:57] <erUSUL> dejan_: right click on it choose prefernces ?
[17:57] <carbonate> giiker: You are TOOO right
[17:57] <Elssha> Okay installing boot helper
[17:57] <gartral> carbonate: yes, google unetbootin
[17:57] <amin> i install xfce on server and I want to access the server via vnc but I get command line as before
[17:57] <dejan_> ruan i ment when i go up with mouse to show
[17:57] <Elssha> Is that going to help ?
[17:57] <dejan_> else to hide
[17:57] <hihihi100> its the second time I install a GIT folder/program, I may be forgetting something..
[17:57] <carbonate> I'm goint to make thedisk that way and see
[17:57] <carbonate> brb
[17:57] <dejan_> erUSUL thanks
[17:58] <giiker> carbonate: and once you keep going that way, you can't semm to see other methods... darn
[17:58] <gartral> carbonate: I think you'll find it much less painful.
[17:58] <gartral> lol
[17:58] <giiker> in open office I used to have the option to print documents to PDF through the print to file option when printing documents, now that option is gone, it has to do with cups I think, any ideas anyyone?

[18:00] <ZykoticK9> giiker, can you use File / Export to PDF instead?
[18:00] <waxrose> hihihi100, Are you pushing to github?
[18:00] <giiker> Logan, I did not update openoffice when this prob showed up
[18:00] <Logan_> !pm | dejan_
[18:00] <giiker> ZykoticK9: yeah that works!
[18:00] <zp> Hi, does Ubuntu has a non-free repo like debian? and if yes in which file I can enable it?
[18:00] <Logan_> giiker: okay
[18:00] <erUSUL> giiker: nope you are right gnome print dialog has pdf ps and svg
[18:01] <dejan_> logan i am sorry, i am now on javascript but why you said to join :)
[18:01] <erUSUL> zp: multiverse.
[18:01] <Logan_> dejan_: because that was a Javascript-related question
[18:01] <Elssha> Okay
[18:01] <ZykoticK9> zp, medibuntu

[18:01] <vivekbourne> whenevr i try to access any /etc/.... file it shows permission denied....why so????
[18:01] <dejan_> Logan_ no no:) i wanted panel in ubuntu to hide heheh i said onmouseout
[18:01] <waxrose> vivekbourne, It is protected by root.
[18:01] <ruan> giiker: nor do i have a printer
[18:01] <Logan_> dejan_: ah, okay :)
[18:02] <giiker> erUSUL: yeahp I even have that option in gedit, but can't figure out what is going n, this is the second time happens. The first one happened when I upadted ubuntu  9.04, aahhhggrr!
[18:02] <vivekbourne> how to access it?
[18:02] <waxrose> vivekbourne, sudo <editor> /etc/<file>
[18:02] <Logan_> dejan_: onmouseout is a Javascript function, so I was confused
[18:02] <dejan_> yes i didn't knew the word and I am making website now so i used that ;)
[18:02] <giiker> ruan: can you tell me your versiono openoffice and click on the about in pdf print and check its version too please?!
[18:02] <ruan> giiker: ok
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> vivekbourne:  thats called system security/permissions :) a normal user cant mess with imporntatn system files without proper use of sudo/gksudo
[18:03] <vivekbourne> suppose i have to access /etc/passwd then what should i type??
[18:03] <hihihi100> waxrose, im sorry I dont quite understand: pulling to github? the FGFS GIT just needed me to cd to the aircraft directory and in a terminal write git pull...
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> vivekbourne:  WHY are you even needing to mess with /etc/passwd?
[18:03] <ruan> giiker: openoffice.org 3.2.1
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> vivekbourne:  you may want to learn some more linux/command line fundamentals befor messing with imporntant files like that.
[18:03] <ruan> giiker: and pdf print doesn't give me a version no.
[18:03] <erUSUL> giiker: openofficve has its own pdf export funcionality. not related to gnome print subsystem
[18:03] <Logan_> ruan: try 3.3
[18:04] <Logan_> ruan: you're not running the latest version of OpenOffice
[18:04] <anna> hello
[18:04] <anna> I need some help
[18:04] <ruan> Logan_: i have no problems with 3.2.1 lol
[18:04] <Logan_> !ask | anna
[18:04] <zp> erUSUL: multiverse is the same as non-free?
[18:04] <waxrose> vivekbourne, You can do sudo gedit /etc/passwd  ... but you have to have the file permissions. Refer to an online reference before modifying any of these files as they could render you system unusable.
[18:04] <ZaapielVonTroll> hey
[18:04] <anna> could someone tell me a good program to convert files from .flv to .mkv?
[18:04] <ruan> !multiverse
[18:04] <ZaapielVonTroll> does ubuntu work on touch screen pc's?
[18:04] <ZaapielVonTroll> does it have touch support
[18:04] <erUSUL> zp: yes; there you have flash mp3 codecs etc ...
[18:04] <erUSUL> zp: also you can use ( additionaly ) medibuntu
[18:04] <zp> erUSUL: I need nvidia-opencl-dev
[18:05] <hihihi100> waxrose, I think I understand... I need to write the direction from which to download/pull GIT, https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm.git, am I getting closer?
[18:05] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | zp
[18:05] <vivekbourne> ok thanks
[18:05] <vivekbourne> i got it
[18:05] <zp> erEsul: I didn't find it in lucid
[18:05] <waxrose> hihihi100, Maybe I'm not understanding your question fully. I was asking if you were trying to push to github since you mentioned pushing.
[18:05] <theperfecttaco> with unity launcher - (using narwhal but i don't think this is a narwhal-specific issue) when I resize a window out of maximized it defaults to the upper-left corner of the screen. due to the launcher button in that same corner I'm unable to reach the min-resize-max buttons to or the titlebar in order to move the window. is there a workaround for this?
[18:05] <ruan> !touchscreen
[18:05] <ruan> hmm
[18:05] <Logan_> !info ffmpeg | anna
[18:05] <giiker> erUSUL: yeah I know, I need gnome print 'cause it is different for my printing needs thatn exporting and faster...
[18:05] <zp> erUSUL: however debian does have it
[18:05] <hihihi100> did I say pushing? I was trying to say Pull, im trying to do a GIT pull
[18:06] <giiker> I think I migh go to#openoffice and see there!
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> anna:  ffmpeg, mencoder, or front ends to those like winff.
[18:06] <Logan_> giiker: it's #openoffice.org
[18:06] <giiker> Logan_: thanks!  ;)
[18:06] <anna> !info ffmpeg
[18:06] <Logan_> giiker: you're welcome :)
[18:06] <anna> thx

[18:07] <zp> can I activate multiverse/medibuntu in /etc/apt/source.list?
[18:07] <hihihi100> waxrose, odd, FGFS didnt need me to determine a direction from which to pull the GIT
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> zp:  yes..  or use the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ method.
[18:08] <waxrose> hihihi100, Is that YOUR repo or some one elses?
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> zp:  medibuntu homepage gives details.

[18:15] <flexd> It's a built in intel card on a Asus P5K premium wifi/ap

[18:21] <steiner> przemasu: it says it needs to be an executable but i cant change that b/c its read only
[18:21] <Guest57975> how can i get good definition of topics on compiler design
[18:21] <flexd> waxrose: nice, i'll just remember that :)
[18:22] <steiner> ruan: ive done that but it runs very slwoly on my computer. would wine run it any faster?

[18:22] <erUSUL> jt13: so you have [ (prim)windows ] [ (prim)ubuntu ] [ (prim)swap ] [ [(ext)logical)swap] [logical)data] ]
[18:22] <Guest57975> please help me..
[18:22] <ruan> steiner: wine doesn't install windows, it only uses the crucial components of it
[18:22] <jt13> erUSUL,  ok so in gparted the last partition before the unallocated space is the swap, I need to delete it then expand to include all of the unallocated correct?
[18:22] <steiner> ruan: i dont mean the windows install cd, its simcoaster
[18:22] <ruan> steiner: oh
[18:23] <DinoSi_> Hello! I have a small problem - trying to install Ubuntu (via Windows), now I've gotten in to the Ubuntu but it looks like it's "LiveCD" install. I can see "Install Ubuntu" on desktop but I can't run it. In fact I can't run mose of the programs. Need help :(
[18:23] <erUSUL> jt13: no delete it and in the unallocated space ( will be swap + the previous unallocated space) create an extended partition
[18:23] <ruan> steiner: run the installation program with wine
[18:23] <waxrose> !wubi | DinoSi_
[18:24] <Stoy> Hi!
[18:24] <erUSUL> jt13: inside a extended partition you can create up to 63 logical partitions
[18:24] <steiner> ruan: i cant b/c its not marked as executeable
[18:24] <ruan> steiner: ah
[18:24] <ruan> steiner: hmm
[18:25] <kahen> HELP! after a `killall -9 firefox-bin' firefox now exits immediately on startup. even with `firefox -safe-mode'
[18:25] <erUSUL> steiner: in terminal « wine /media/cdrom/path/to/setup.exe » ?
[18:25] <erUSUL> kahen: never use -9 ( or try to avoid it at all costs )
[18:25] <jt13> erUSUL, ok this is slightly confusing but i'm giving it a shot now. i deleted the swap and instead of adding to the unallocated i now have two unallocated spaces, the main and one the size of the swap. \
[18:25] <Stoy> I have a problem with linuxdcpp on maverick, I kan connect to the hub, but whenever I try to get a file list the connection times out, could there be some firewall settings I need to change?
[18:25] <DinoSi_> Well I did install it via wubi, it extracted all the fiels from CD and asked me to reboot in the end. So now it should finish installation when I boot up Ubuntu but instead all I got is kinda "livecd" experience
[18:25] <waxrose> kahen, I always do pkill firefox.
[18:26] <erUSUL> jt13: they are not one next to the other?
[18:26] <kahen> yeah well... that's a little late *now*
[18:26] <jt13> erUsul and even now it tells me i can not have more then 4 primary when i try to edit it
[18:26] <erUSUL> jt13: can you post a screenshot of gparted?
[18:26] <erUSUL> !screenshot | jt13
[18:26] <waxrose> kahen, Just restart your computer and it should be okay.
[18:26] <jt13> erUSUL, yes they are right next to each other but still two spaces
[18:27] <hihihi100> how many words should I use for a strong passphrease?
[18:27] <hihihi100> passphrase
[18:27] <jt13> erUSUL,  ok hang on a sec though because i am talking to you on one machine and performing the maintenance on another
[18:27] <steiner> erUSUL: it said it couldnot find
[18:27] <waxrose> hihihi100, 8+ but it's more dependent on how you implement it.
[18:27] <backslash7> Does Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick support mutlithreading in mplayer?
[18:27] <kahen> hihihi100: words are not important. rather, you want a mix of lower case, upper case, numbers and non-alphanumeric chars
[18:27] <waxrose> hihihi100, Avoid dictionary passwords.
[18:27] <giiker> hihihi100: passphrases should be as long as you can!
[18:27] <erUSUL> steiner: huh?
[18:28] <hihihi100> should I then invent my own words?
[18:28] <hihihi100> like kmndcvbmfrgt...
[18:28] <ruan> hihihi100: that's what i did
[18:28] <erUSUL> steiner: ahh ok; you have to put the actual path to the exe you have
[18:28] <steiner> erUSUL: you said wine /media/cdrom/path/to/setup.exe ?
[18:29] <ruan> hihihi100: random chars are hard to remember, you could try combining words and adding numbers
[18:29] <giiker> hihihi100: I usually haave my password manager create a password,  but I use it as a passphrase, I can even define the scheme (sysmbols,numbers,etc)
[18:29] <hihihi100> password manager??
[18:29] <steiner> erUSUL: what is an easy way to do that?
[18:29] <hihihi100> where in ubuntu is that?
[18:29] <giiker> yeah
[18:29] <EvilPhoenix> if i want 2.6.35-* kernels, what package(s) should I install?
[18:29] <waxrose> hihihi100, This is a good tip. To keep passwords dictionary safe but so you can remember them, do some thing like so.  dog + cat --> dco56agt%!
[18:29] <hytreem> hihihi100, check my PM
[18:29] <giiker> hihihi100: I use keepassX
[18:29] <giiker> hihihi100: the best
[18:30] <waxrose> I can remember up to 100 character passwords with that technique.
[18:30] <erUSUL> steiner: well you have the disk mounted and can browse with the file manager there
[18:30] <Chakravanti> how do i link to and old version of a library?  I'm tryign to run pSX and it need libgtklext 1.0 and lucid has 1.2 and it doesn't seem to make the connection
[18:30] <erUSUL> steiner: crtl + L will show path in the navigation bar
[18:31] <iamjusttesting> i would like to get some help on a camera that doesn't show up in computer
[18:31] <steiner> erUSUL: thanks ive always wandered how you get the location
[18:31] <jt13> erUSUL,  http://imagebin.org/141326  <this is my partition table and this is the error message >>http://imagebin.org/141327
[18:31] <przemasu> steiner: find .exe file, right mouse button on it, open with another program, you will see list of programs, select "own command" and type "wine", and OK. I'm sorry, but I'm using Polisyh version of Ubuntu
[18:32] <ypbt> This is my first time.
[18:32] <erUSUL> jt13: remove sda4 partition
[18:32] <iamjusttesting> it is camera model argus 1512
[18:32] <jt13> erUSUL, ok
[18:32] <steiner> ok thanks all its working
[18:33] <jt13> erUSUL, won't let me delete only resize.
[18:33] <przemasu> steiner: no problem :)
[18:33] <kahen`> great... now gdm login screen refuses to show up on the laptop :(
[18:34] <erUSUL> jt13: resize it to take all the unallocated space you have ?
[18:34] <iamjusttesting> how do i get in the help line
[18:34] <erUSUL> !ask
[18:35] <ruan> kahen`: did you update recently?
[18:35] <Techathy> Sorry for being dumb but is there a list of RAID cards which are supported out the box by ubuntu?
[18:35] <giiker> iamjusttesting: do you mean i a terminal?
[18:36] <erUSUL> !hcl
[18:36] <kahen`> okay i'm  in a console now and I can't (after sudo -i) do `gdm restart'. it fails with the message "** (gdm-binary:1589): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
[18:36] <jt13> erUSUL, ok i went through and edited/resized it to take all of my space, it ran the progress bar and said complete. But my partition table is unchanged, the sda4 is still there as well as the partitions within
[18:36] <erUSUL> kahen`: is « restart gdm »
[18:37] <Gibby> is there a package to install to get video switching in the kernel?
[18:37] <erUSUL> jt13: but now the sda4 the extended partition takes all the unallocated space? doesn't it?
[18:37] <kahen`> erUSUL: hmm... still doesn't come up correctly. it loads the gdm theme (correct background) but no login box
[18:38] <Techathy> erUSUL: found that but it's talking about pre-build PCs not expansion cards.
[18:38] <stowoda> hi there
[18:38] <erUSUL> jt13: i.e --> the light blue line covers all the unallocated space
[18:38] <xrdodrx> stowoda, hi
[18:38] <BluesKaj> kahen`, drop to tty and do: sudo service gdm restart
[18:38] <stowoda> the Wifi symbol is gone.. It used to be on the panel
[18:38] <erUSUL> Techathy: time to google ... ...
[18:38] <jt13> erUSUL, ok now i see. the chart at the top is unchanged but the sda4 now is 250 gig with a 5 gig swap and the unallocated. but it still wont let me do anything with the unallocated.one sec and i will give you another pastebin
[18:39] <stowoda> how can I get it back
[18:39] <iamjusttesting> this camera doesn't show up in places computer but it shows up in the program device manger i know that it has pics on the camera and it is showing that it is conected on the little screen on the camera    by the way it is the first time i have use a camera on ubuntu
[18:39] <ruan> stowoda: do you have an up&down symbol on the panel?
[18:40] <kahen`> BINGO! fixed it
[18:40] <jt13> erUSUL,  http://imagebin.org/141328
[18:40] <kahen`> i uninstalled pango-graphite
[18:40] <ruan> kahen`: congrats
[18:40] <kahen`> you *really* really want to get rid of that package
[18:40] <kahen`> IT BREAKS X!
[18:40] <ruan> what is pango graphite
[18:40] <stowoda> ruan, no I dont
[18:40] <erUSUL> jt13: now right click n the unallocated space and create a new logical partition
[18:41] <ruan> hmm i dont have pango-graphite installed
[18:41] <erUSUL> jt13: then format it to ntfs
[18:41] <stowoda> there is volume, bluetooth..
[18:41] <xptical> Hi all, I have a couple of questions.  First off, sometimes it seems like my username/logoff button area gets corrupted.  Anyone else notice this?
[18:41] <behel1t> can anyone recommend a good guide to align an ssd for ubuntu
[18:41] <ruan> !ssd
[18:41] <xptical> Like the username tries to print twice
[18:41] <upgrdman> every time i boot ubuntu it wants to scan my hdds for errors. i don't know why as I always am able to correctly shut down. how can i track down this problem?
[18:42] <ruan> stowoda: can you still connect though?
[18:42] <jt13> erUSUL, ok, just to make sure i am understanding, i resized the partition so that now there are the two logical partitions in one. the swap will still work as it should and the other ntfs will be mountable to either of my operating systems right?
[18:43] <stowoda> ruan: yes
[18:43] <giiker> xptical: this happens to me but it is 'cause I have some effects with Compiz
[18:43] <kahen`> ruan: i only figured out to uninstall it because i happened to remember i had recently installed it as part of installing some ttf-sil-* fonts
[18:43] <stowoda> ruan: I am connected right now
[18:43] <kahen`> basically *dumb luck* that i could fix the system
[18:43] <iamjusttesting> anybody have an idea on the camera problem
[18:43] <ruan> stowoda: you can access connection manager from system > preferences
[18:43] <kahen`> this package needs to either be fixed or nuked from orbit
[18:43] <erUSUL> jt13: yes; but one caveat we moved the swap around so maybe you have to change the uuid listed in /etc/fstab to match the new one
[18:43] <stowoda> Ok. I got it
[18:43] <erUSUL> !uuid | jt13
[18:43] <ruan> stowoda: i'm not sure about wireless settings though
[18:44] <xptical> giiker Do you know which options cause this?
[18:44] <ruan> stowoda: there might be a seperate program for that
[18:44] <iCyrus> How do I unrar something? I could have sworn it was just unrar filename
[18:44] <iCyrus> But it's saying I have to use commands
[18:44] <stowoda> ruan: ok. understand
[18:44] <iCyrus> So I tried rar -e Filename and it's still not working :[
[18:44] <kahen`> iCyrus: man unrar says it's "unrar e filename"
[18:44] <erUSUL> iCyrus: unrar x filename
[18:44] <kahen`> or unrar x if you want directories
[18:45] <iCyrus> oh
[18:45] <jt13> erUSUL,  cool. I learned something new, last question. which would be my best option to format the unallocated? it is strictlly for multimedia storage
[18:45] <iCyrus> Without the -, sorry!
[18:45] <kahen`> 7z can unpack .rar files too i think
[18:45] <ruan> kahen`: it can, if it has the p7zip addon
[18:45] <nerdy_kid> hi guys, I am trying to back up a large file (1+GB) with rsync, how would I get it so that only the updated portions of the file are copied?  I used a cdrom to copy the file to the destination folder, and now want to use rsync to just update it.  Thanks!
[18:45] <iCyrus> I'm used to commands being [dash]letter XD
[18:45] <giiker> xptical: you might be able to fix it if you had made changes in Compiz, have you made any changes.cuzstomizations to COmpiz before?! if not it might be something else
[18:45] <erUSUL> jt13: well if it has to be for windows and linux the only sane choice is ntfs
[18:45] <kahen`> personally i always use 7z for .zip files. unzip is stupidly broken
[18:45] <stowoda> maybe I should restart my os?
[18:45] <ruan> stowoda: you can try that
[18:45] <jt13> erUSUL,  ok then, Thank you for all of your help.
[18:45] <xptical> giiker This is a fresh 32-bit install with no Compiz changes at all.
[18:46] <erUSUL> jt13: no problem
[18:46] <kahen`> unzip has this naasty tendency to make files with permissions set to 755
[18:46] <hihihi100> noob question, in a passphrase, do the empty spaces count as a character?
[18:46] <ruan> hihihi100: yes
[18:46] <iamjusttesting> i have camera model argus 1512 and it doesn't show up in places   computer
[18:46] <hihihi100> oik
[18:46] <stowoda> ok thx so far. willd o a reboot
[18:46] <giiker> xptical: then i don think I have your solution, sorry!
[18:46] <xptical> Okay.  Thanks
[18:47] <xptical> Next question:  What is the best way to backup my system?  I'd like to be able to do a bare-metal restore, like from a disk image.
[18:47] <erUSUL> xptical: use clonezilla?
[18:47] <xptical> I'll check it out
[18:48] <xptical> Is it on the Ubuntu 10.10 bood disc?
[18:48] <xptical> boot
[18:48] <giiker> xptical: dd
[18:49] <ruan> !dd
[18:49] <giiker> dd the best!!
[18:49] <xptical> I've used DD before
[18:49] <xptical> It works okay
[18:49] <xptical> especially using DD and netcat
[18:49] <xptical> awesome imaging across a network
[18:49] <erUSUL> xptical: http://clonezilla.org/
[18:50] <xptical> Last time I looked at CZ, you needed a special boot disc.  I was just wondering if that's still true
[18:50] <vivekbourne> i have installed wine how to run my windows programs using it?
[18:50] <navkram> how do i test a serial port in 10.04
[18:51] <giiker> xptical: last time I read one needs the live CD
[18:51] <ruan> vivekbourne: right click > open with wine
[18:51] <kahen`> vivekbourne: wine <path/to/program.exe>
[18:51] <ruan> vivekbourne: or command line ^
[18:51] <iCyrus> So I'm using Wine to run JFormDesigner and it's saying that I don't have a JVM installed. I'm running IntelliJ and 3 Java programs as it says that, how do I get it to work?
[18:52] <iamjusttesting> i have camera model argus 1512 and i will not show up in places - computer
[18:52] <erUSUL> navkram: define "test"
[18:52] <xptical> thanks for the advice guys.  I'm off for a bit
[18:53] <navkram> see if 10.04 sees it and what address it is
[18:53] <vivekbourne> does wine does not work for windows 64 bit?
[18:53] <giiker> iamjusttesting: run lsusb and see if it detects it at least.
[18:53] <erUSUL> navkram: serial ports are /dev/ttyS[0,1]
[18:53] <RoboticsEngineer> UBUNTU!!!!
[18:53] <ruan> iCyrus: lol
[18:53] <erUSUL> navkram: dmesg | grep ttyS
[18:53] <ruan> oops

[18:55] <joe_> testing 123
[18:55] <erUSUL> navkram: did you see it?
[18:55] <ruan> iCyrus: all i can think of is a dll override for the application, if java uses dlls
[18:55] <oCean> joe_: we can see you
[18:55] <iamjusttesting> how would you like me to run that
[18:55] <iCyrus> ruan: I thought .dll was a windows thing
[18:55] <iamjusttesting> in the termnal?
[18:55] <nerdy_kid> I used a dvdrom to back up a large file from my laptop to my desktop, and now want to use rsync to just update it without retransfering the whole file.  How would I do this?  thanks!
[18:56] <ruan> iCyrus: yeah but you're running a wine app
[18:56] <iCyrus> ruan: oya
[18:56] <iCyrus> ruan: I have no idea how to do what you said though
[18:56] <ruan> iCyrus: did you try to install java for windows on wine though?
[18:57] <iCyrus> ruan: Oooh no I didn't, thanks

[18:57] <Logan_> !bluray | phoenixsampras
[18:58] <iamjusttesting> that would mean that it might not be mounted
[18:58] <floodplain> hi all, how can i manually partition my already existing linux partition (gparted won't do it)?
[18:58] <jiltdil> channel for ubuntu 11.04?
[18:59] <ruan> !natty
[18:59] <phoenixsampras> Logan_: is there a blueray player
[18:59] <phoenixsampras> ?
[18:59] <hihihi100> what do I have to do with the key fingreprint? and the random image?
[18:59] <jiltdil> floodplain: did u used live cd/dvd or usb?
[18:59] <giiker> iamjusttesting: check here for your device: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices
[19:00] <floodplain> jiltdil: i used the 10.10  iso from usb
[19:00] <Kindari> Hi, on ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition, how do i add an item to the sidebar?
[19:00] <floodplain> jiltdil: my machine is dual boot if that makes a difference
[19:00] <ruan> Kindari: the panels?
[19:01] <Kindari> ruan: suppose so. it has basic apps on it, starts off with firefox, empathy, etc.
[19:01] <nicolaus> is there a software on ubuntu that can mount iso
[19:02] <ruan> Kindari: what do you want to add to it?
[19:02] <jiltdil> floodplain: no that doesnot the matter of worry .what the eroor exactly was?
[19:02] <floodplain> kindari: right clicking on it might give you a menu with options to add to it.
[19:02] <Kindari> Chromium and Terminal
[19:02] <ruan> nicolaus: yes, there is archive mounter by default and gmount-iso
[19:02] <ruan> Kindari: you can drag the icons from applications to the panel
[19:02] <Kindari> floodplain: right clicking does nothing on the panel itself. on one of the items in the panel it offers to remove the item.
[19:03] <floodplain> jiltdil: gparted doesn't give me the option to resize my ubuntu partion. it's ~90gb. i want to make it 20gb and then have a new 70gbpartition for media to be accessable from win and ubuntu
[19:03] <nicolaus> thanks ruan
[19:03] <iamjusttesting> giiker by what i see that this manufacture is not listed
[19:03] <Kindari> hm, nope drag and drop doesnt work either.
[19:04] <floodplain> kindari: that's strange
[19:04] <jiltdil> floodplain: is ur partition of 90gb is of extended?
[19:04] <fruitwerks> I am trying to run a php script from the command line and anything I try to exec is not found, even when I give the full path
[19:04] <floodplain> kindari: what desktop are you using? kde, gnome etc
[19:04] <juniour> hi
[19:04] <cato_> floodplain do it with live cd
[19:04] <ruan> Kindari: are you sure? i can drag icons from applications to my panel
[19:04] <Elssha> Okay got a basic Q on partition tables
[19:04] <floodplain> jiltdil: just checking but i think it's ext4
[19:04] <giiker> iamjusttesting: sorry
[19:05] <Kindari> gnome. all default settings, only thing ive changed from a fresh install was install chromium.
[19:05] <juniour> hi how to check battery life in ubuntu 10.10
[19:05] <Elssha> Installing ( finally) but it's giving me a error that no root file STD is defined
[19:05] <Elssha> STD*
[19:05] <cato_> when you have mounted a disk you cant partition it
[19:05] <ruan> lol
[19:05] <iamjusttesting> the next odd thing is that shotwell knows the manufacture but not the model
[19:05] <Elssha> stupid touch
[19:05] <Elssha> Sys
[19:06] <rsh> hello when i use gcc DEBUG option for compiling where do those extra information store???
[19:06] <drc> Kindari: you're talking about the sidebar on the left side (on Netbook Edition, not Desktop Edition), not the panels on the top or bottom, correct?
[19:06] <floodplain> cato_: thanks i may try that.
[19:06] <Kindari> drc: yes
[19:06] <ruan> oh.. a sidebar?
[19:06] <juniour> hi how to check battery life in ubuntu 10.10
[19:06] <mic_problem> hi
[19:06] <ruan> i'm on desktop :D
[19:06] <Elssha> O selected the sda3 partition
[19:06] <cato_> @floodplain there is no other way
[19:06] <jiltdil> cato:wright i think he has mounted disk
[19:06] <drc> Kindari: I don't have an answer, was just trying to clear the air...others seem to be talking PANELS, not SIDEBAR
[19:07] <Elssha> Checked to format it as ext4
[19:07] <ruan> i have no idea what a sidebar is :/
[19:07] <iamjusttesting> giiker: is that the list of the only supported devices
[19:07] <Elssha> What mount point must I pick for it
[19:07] <Ashlebede> is there any way to change the CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-F2, ... hotkeys ?
[19:07] <Kindari> ruan: : ive only seen it on netbook edition ;)
[19:07] <Elssha> Is that what the error asks for
[19:07] <cato_> mount point /
[19:07] <cato_> root
[19:07] <ruan> Ashlebede: why?
[19:07] <juniour> hi any one know here
[19:08] <juniour> hi any one know here
[19:08] <juniour> hi how to check battery life in ubuntu 10.10
[19:08] <FloodBot2> juniour: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:08] <floodplain> cato_: ok thanks. i might have 4 partitions already on the disk, a ntfs win partion, a linux extended one containing  (ubuntu -> ext4 and a swap partition), then a win recovery partition, is that 3 or 4?
[19:08] <cato_> have you make partition for swap?
[19:08] <Ashlebede> I'd prefer Super+F1, that<s all, ruan
[19:08] <Ashlebede> The question is not why, it's how. D:
[19:08] <rsh>  when i use gcc DEBUG option for compiling where do those extra information store???
[19:08] <rsh> if the above question is not valid here please inform me
[19:09] <cato_> i dont know
[19:09] <giiker> iamjusttesting: can you run this: dmesg | grep USB
[19:09] <cato_> you mast check the size to figure out
[19:09] <cato_> ex if the partition for recovery is 40gb
[19:10] <jiltdil> floodplain:if u have partition 90gb as extended and if there is also  swap,firstly remove that swap
[19:10] <cato_> you know when you see 40gb its recovery
[19:10] <jmwpc> Any recommendations for a CD ripper which can be run from the command line?
[19:10] <carbonate> Hey I need someone to help me install  linux to a sata drive while in a linux live environment.
[19:10] <maedox> Ashlebede: I might be wrong, but I think those hotkeys are in the kernel and would mean recompiling it to change them.
[19:10] <cato_> y? removew swap
[19:10] <carbonate> Can anyone lend a hang?
[19:11] <iamjusttesting> i did run it and got lots of text back
[19:11] <Ashlebede> maedox: I fear it is...
[19:11] <ruan> !info ripit
[19:11] <giiker> can you psate it in the pastebin
[19:11] <jiltdil> cato: i missjudged his language last one
[19:11] <giiker> iamjusttesting: can you psate it in the pastebin
[19:11] <iamjusttesting> where is thaty
[19:11] <cato_> y he mast remove swap?
[19:12] <floodplain> jiltdil: don't i need a swap? or do i create a new parition for it?
[19:12] <ThinkT510> !pastebin | iamjusttesting
[19:12] <cato_> floodplain how many ram??\
[19:12] <jiltdil> floodplain:if u have enough ram then its ok to not use swap its not a big issue
[19:13] <ruan> yeah, i have 3gb and i use no swap
[19:13] <cato_> if you have 4 or more gb no need of swap
[19:13] <giiker> iamjusttesting: http://pastebin.com/
[19:13] <ruan> it depends on what you're doing though
[19:13] <giiker> iamjusttesting: or the one that the bot mentioned
[19:13] <Dr_Willis> everything depends on what you are doing with the system.
[19:13] <floodplain> jiltdil: ok, i have to check but i think 1gb ram
[19:14] <iamjusttesting> ok
[19:14] <jiltdil> floodplain:if u r using the applicatin which takes enough ram then u must make swap
[19:14] <hihihi100> to the ppl that helped me out with the ssh key, for GITHUB, it seems I have done it
[19:14] <visual1ce> hi
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> It really really can get annoying if you run out of ram.. if you got swap hopefully you will notice somthing sucking down all the ram and be able to close down some apps.
[19:14] <ThinkT510> !yay | hihihi100
[19:14] <giiker> iamjusttesting: and then paste here the link to see the details
[19:14] <Elssha> One more Q. On install.   If I want Ubuntu on sda3 do I pick that for the boot loader device or the sda ( whole drive)
[19:15] <Dr_Willis> Elssha:  sda is the 'mbr' of the drive. where you normally put grub.
[19:15] <Elssha> Idk
[19:15] <iamjusttesting> giiker:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/576096/
[19:16] <hihihi100> now, more noob questions: how does this help me to pull a git repository?
[19:16] <meco> Can someone tell me what utility I can use to record this video strea: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/whcr-90-3#utm_campaigne=synclickback&source=http://www.whcr.org/&medium=5967567
[19:16] <jiltdil> floodplain:check ram  free-m  or free -mt
[19:16] <mic_problem> meco: run from copyright hipocrites
[19:16] <Elssha> I need it to register the xp partition ( sda1)
[19:17] <mic_problem> run away nowwww
[19:17] <Elssha>  But idk where it was before
[19:17] <iamjusttesting> giiker:  working?
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> Elssha:  clarify what you mean.
[19:17] <giiker> iamjusttesting: let me look
[19:17] <sony> hi
[19:17] <Gibby> working on my grandma's laptop, i had it setup so when they plugged in there digital camera, it auto opened, now it just mounts and doesn't open, where is the setting for it?
[19:17] <Elssha> I'm in the allocate drive space window
[19:18] <Elssha> Picked sda3 to format as ext4
[19:18] <ThinkT510> Elssha: grub2 automatically picks up the windows install and gives you the option to boot into it
[19:18] <meco> mic_problem: You mean I'm not allowed to ask that question on this channel?
[19:18] <Elssha> At the bottom it asks where I want the boot loader installation
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> Elssha:  mbr of the d4rive you are booting... ie: sda
[19:19] <jiltdil> Dr_willis:is there any command like shred to erase disk permanently?
[19:19] <mic_problem> meco: sort of
[19:19] <giiker> iamjusttesting: wird you have the right driver and only one that works with your camera, but somehow it doesn't.
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> jiltdil:  there are secure deletion tools/commands out there. or you could go old school and use 'dd'
[19:19] <meco> mic_problem: I'll modify my question then...
[19:19] <BitEncrypt> !!!!!@#$%
[19:19] <giiker> iamjusttesting: did you change USB ports?
[19:19] <ubun> how do i check how much ram i have?

[19:19] <iCyrus> I'm on wine and I need to get to a hidden folder from an "open file" window, how do I do that?
[19:19] <meco> Can someone tell me what utility I can use to record videos like http://www.ustream.tv/channel/whcr-90-3#utm_campaigne=synclickback&source=http://www.whcr.org/&medium=5967567
[19:19] <iCyrus> Like, I need to get to ~/.wine/
[19:20] <iamjusttesting> giiker:   leave it to me to mess it up
[19:20] <Elssha> Am I supposed to put it on sda3 with Ubuntu or on sda (whole drive)
[19:20] <Elssha>  I need it to see sda1 as well since that's where xp is
[19:21] <giiker> iamjusttesting: there is a driver that works with your camera, not the manufacturer's, but it is already loaded, so I don know what it might be at this point.
[19:21] <ThinkT510> Elssha: install the bootloader to sda
[19:21] <rsh>  when i use gcc DEBUG option for compiling where do those extra information store???

[19:31] <fisix> had no idea the ubuntu irc would be so helpful! you guys are awesome

Anyone know what I'm missing? Perhaps someone forgot to include a header file or missed a .o in a makefile?
[19:32] <Dr_Willis> fidyduce:  ive only used kiso to do similer tasks..  but that was ages ago.

[19:33] <hexdump_> Hey all!
[19:33] <hexdump_> It's been such a long time since I've been in here.
[19:34] <b0ng01> This an Ubuntu issue?
[19:34] <ThinkT510> visual1ce: ubuntu already has gnome, or am i misunderstanding you?
[19:34] <b0ng01> while watching a video*
[19:34] <hexdump_> I just updated my internet and now I have to configure everything over again
[19:34] <hexdump_> is there a channel dedicated to IPTABLES help?
[19:34] <visual1ce> i did a custom install without a de
[19:34] <hexdump_> ha seems it's #iptables I guess?
[19:35] <pet> heja
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> b0ng01:  more likely a 'flash' issue.

[19:35] <pet> opsss chyba nie ten kanal ;p
[19:35] <hexdump_> I'm trying to add an ip address to iptables.  Can somebody kind of push me along and let me know if I'm on the right track plz
[19:35] <b0ng01> Dr_Willis, I was thinking this, but doesn't chrome auto install the most recent version of flash or does it just use what you have?
[19:35] <ThinkT510> visual1ce: if you install gdm that will let you choose your desktop session
[19:35] <ruan> how can i figure out which usb port my UPS is connected to?
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> b0ng01:  no idea. even if it did install the latest.. that dosent mean it will work properly.  Flash is very problematic in some cases.
[19:36] <visual1ce> what is gdm?
[19:36] <mic_problem> ubuntu is driving me crazy
[19:36] <visual1ce> desktop manager?
[19:36] <hexdump_> is it sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --source "IP" --dport 80 -j ACCEPT ?
[19:36] <yeats> fidyduce: on 10.10, mkisofs is a symbolic link to genisoimage, so do 'man genisoimage' to see that built-in documentation
[19:36] <ThinkT510> !info gdm | visual1ce

[19:41] <pw-toxic> I am looking for a program where i can compare two files which shows me the differences of those two (config) files
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> agentgasmask:  10.04 uses gdm2.. most themes at gnome-look.org are proberly gdm1 themes and not useable.
[19:41] <ruan> aka usb port 1234
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic:  'diff'

[19:41] <pw-toxic> Dr_Willis, is this a gui tool?
[19:41] <agentgasmask> Dr_Willis: OK, if I got a gdm2 theme, how could I "install" it?
[19:42] <IsmAvatar> What do I do if I got to Add Printer, and don't see my model listed in the driver list? I have an ancient Z11, but it only shows Z12 and up.

[19:45] <jiltdil> nicolaus:enable that
[19:45] <nicolaus_> ok brb
[19:45] <konsinator> ok
[19:46] <Dr_Willis> !permissions | Ubuntu_JS
[19:46] <konsinator> I did it
[19:46] <jdizzle2011> hey guys
[19:46] <konsinator> but it still opens vlc player
[19:46] <konsinator> not with normal folders
[19:46] <visual1ce> thanks ThinkT510 and Dr_Willis
[19:47] <ThinkT510> np
[19:47] <konsinator> just the partitions listed at places on my start panel
[19:47] <konsinator> they are always opened with vlc player
[19:47] <fisix> i have an extra volume icon that looks grey with vertical blue bars in my system tray
[19:47] <fisix> how do i remove that?
[19:47] <Dr_Willis> konsinator:  did you look at -->  it shows several ways to fix the issue.. depending on what you did.   https://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/ubuntu-location-launchers-error-how-to-reset-gnome-panel-places-menu-launchers-to-open-with-nautilus/
[19:48] <ruan> fisix: right click it, what options do you get?
[19:48] <fisix> mute, sound preferences
[19:48] <nicolaus> nope i only see power of password and admin password when i go into security
[19:48] <konsinator> thank you very much I'll read it
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> they really need to put in some failsafe so people stop assoicating folders with media players. :)
[19:49]  * mic_problem breaks his mic
[19:49] <IvoV> can someone help me out with hdmi audio (ati hd4670), the device is recognized by ubuntu (10.04) and I can select it, but no matter what I do I can't get sound to come out of the tv
[19:49] <IvoV> strange thing is that it does work in 10.10, I don't know what's different
[19:49] <mic_problem> IvoV: you need to change audio output
[19:49] <IvoV> I did :)
[19:50] <mic_problem> sound preferences?
[19:50] <Dr_Willis> IvoV:  dosent work in 10.04 but does in 10.10  you are saying?
[19:50] <IvoV> yep
[19:50] <visual1ce> about to install gdm but after findout out about some of the packages it recommends id like to choose some of them also... is there a way to simply query a package for the packages it suggests or should i make a not of them now?
[19:50] <Dr_Willis> IvoV:  updated kernel/drivers would be my first guess.
[19:50] <fisix> i used the command "gnome-volume-control-applet"
[19:50] <fisix> how can i remove it?
[19:50] <mic_problem> fisix: killall gnome-volume-control-applet
[19:51] <IvoV> Dr_Willis: is this something I could fix perhaps?
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> visual1ce:  when i install somthing via 'apt-get install' and it shows some stuff in the reccomends line, i tend to just cut/paste and install them via command line.
[19:51] <mic_problem> IvoV: ofc you can
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> IvoV:   Its possible i imagine, but why not just use 10.10 ?
[19:51] <mic_problem> IvoV: is it hda intel?
[19:51] <fisix> wow sweet, thanks!!!
[19:52] <fisix> does this permanently remove it though?
[19:52] <mic_problem> fisix: if you added to startup applications you need to remove from there
[19:52] <IvoV> well, 10.10 is giving me problems with the cpu, I get hickups (cpu = i7). Background processes are constantly taking up cpu
[19:52] <IvoV> i couldn't fix it
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> fisix:  some peopel use that command and remove the other volume icon :) depends on what you want.
[19:52] <IvoV> mic_problem: I believe so
[19:52] <IsmAvatar> What do I do if I got to Add Printer, and don't see my model listed in the driver list? I have an ancient Z11, but it only shows Z12 and up.
[19:52] <mic_problem> IvoV: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> IsmAvatar:  some printer drivers are not installed by default. check the package manager listings. would be where i would check first.
[19:53] <IvoV> hmm, maybe not..card 2: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI]   Subdevices: 1/1   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[19:53] <IvoV> that's my aplay -l output
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> IsmAvatar:  ive had to install optional/old drivers in the past.
[19:53] <alecbenzer>  I can run lspci on my machine but when I try to save its output to a file like "lspci > some_file" I get "pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci". what might be causing this? If I can get the output on a terminal why wouldn't I be able to put it in a file?
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> IsmAvatar:  its also possible some of the new drivers are backwards compatiable.
[19:53] <mic_problem> IvoV: wait type this: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
[19:53] <visual1ce> Dr_Willis - i think i only have one tty (is that the right term)
[19:54] <ruan> alecbenzer: i think it needs to be run as root?
[19:54] <mic_problem> IvoV: then compare with http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt
[19:54] <ruan> alecbenzer: thats what it sounds like
[19:54] <konsinator> yeahaaa
[19:54] <konsinator> thank you
[19:54] <fisix> i see, thanks again
[19:54] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis: so start at the Software Center?
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> IsmAvatar:  thats always where to start :)
[19:54] <konsinator> it works
[19:54] <IvoV> mic_problem: Codec: Realtek ALC1200  that's the output
[19:54] <konsinator> I'm so glad
[19:54] <ruan> alecbenzer: wait..
[19:54] <jiltdil> how to paste things in virtual box OS that i copy from my host?
[19:55] <yellabs> hi there
[19:55] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis: search for Lexmark only turned up the c2050
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> jiltdil:  you mean text? or other kinds of data?
[19:55] <ruan> alecbenzer: is the file you're logging to inside a directory you have permissions to?
[19:55] <yellabs> how can i ( in bash ) make notify-send stack ist messages ?
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> IsmAvatar:  there may be some other printer/ppd packages
[19:55] <yellabs> any tips are welcome
[19:55] <mic_problem> IvoV: go to ubuntu forums and search for ALC1200
[19:55] <jiltdil> Dr_willis:text
[19:55] <mic_problem> hdmi output
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> yellabs:  ive seen some bash commands/aliasls/scripts to gernate notify messages.
[19:55] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis: ok. How do I find those?
[19:56] <JoeCoolDesk1> Is there a way to add a couple networked computers to use as a cluster, but have them be recognized by the OS as just more CPU/cores so that any arbitrary program can make use of them?
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> jiltdil:  i think if you install the guest os addations and run some tool. You can use the clipboard across both .
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> IsmAvatar:  search for ppd/printers/cups perhaps.
[19:56] <yellabs> how can i ( in bash ) make notify-send stack its messages ? so bash command are welcome if you know of any .. send-notify 'test'
[19:57] <jiltdil> Dr-willis: ok i will try
[19:57] <mic_problem> I am frustrated shit
[19:57] <mic_problem> soryr lang
[19:57] <yellabs> notify-send that is
[19:57] <yellabs> lol
[19:57] <yellabs> :)
[19:57] <alecbenzer> ruan: hm, odd. I didn't notice but the command was actually working, it was just also spitting out that message which I didn't get when running plain "lspci"
[19:57] <vikasap> Hello all , I recently intstalled power-top and I get this : "A SATA device is active 100.0% of the time". I also constantly hear some noise from my laptop. What can I do about it ?
[19:57] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis: well cups is already installed, as is printer drivers for cups. I'm seeing wrapper drivers for extra brother printers, whatever that means
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> alecbenzer:  standard output vs standard err output perhaps. :)
[19:58] <vikasap> Any suggestions ?
[19:58] <mic_problem> "rear mic" means mic from the back right?
[19:58] <ribon> (*bump*) a usb device is always mounted with a "Write Protected is on". Need to use gpart on it, but can't. There is no physical switch, help? :S
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> IsmAvatar:  extra drivers not installed by default.. sounds like a possibility.. :)
[19:58] <mic_problem> yeah rear = back
[19:58] <mic_problem> good translator ftw
[19:59] <mic_problem> bbl
[19:59] <guntbert> jiltdil: you will find support for virtual box in #vbox
[19:59] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis: no, just drivers for FAX and MFC models
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> yellabs:  a quick google for bash notify osd script --> http://www.barregren.se/blog/pop-notification-command-line
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> notify-send "This is a summary" "And this is the body text"
[20:01] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis: this looks promising: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452722
[20:01] <ajunior> hi all
[20:01] <woble> SSH question: Openssh setup; "connection time out" from android, SSHing from the machine to itsself works. No firewall (disabled) connectable according to web service, and hosts.allow/ deny is empty
[20:01] <Gibby> how do i tell which video card ubuntu is using?
[20:02] <ajunior> anybody know say what daemon application is used for distribute Ubuntu ISO in torrent?
[20:02] <woble> What else could cause a connection timeout? clearly something refuses connection
[20:02] <erUSUL> ajunior: bittornado iirc
[20:02] <geoffmcc> woble: port forwarding on the router possibly
[20:02] <milamber> Gibby: lspci | grep VGA
[20:02] <winehelp> can any1 help with installing office on Ubuntu? wine help?
[20:02] <woble> geoffmcc  according to canyouseeit.org its correctly forwarded (connectable on port 22)
[20:03] <guntbert> ribon: be patient please, and *bump* doesn't help you in any way
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | winehelp
[20:03] <visual1ce> can i open an additional terminal? i have no de installed...
[20:04] <Gibby> milamber, It goes up with 2 the onboard intel and the discrete nvidia, i think i finally got the nivida working the nouveau just don't know how to tell
[20:04] <geoffmcc> woble: was just a thought, but as long as you forwarded port 22 to the ip address of the box your trying to get into then thats not the issue
[20:04] <yeats> !tty | visual1ce
[20:04] <guntbert> visual1ce: you have only text?
[20:04] <ribon> btw. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/03/web-security-against-hackers-and-spammers-advanced-math-captcha.html
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> visual1ce:  what window manager are you using? are you using X at all?
[20:04] <visual1ce> nope not yet
[20:05] <woble> geoffmcc thats what i thought.. but clearly something refuses connection. If i ssh to 192.168.1.local IP it times out (Android) if i ssh to my real IP with the same android i get "connection lost, reset by peer"
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> visual1ce:  alt-ctral-f1 through f6, or use screen
[20:05] <visual1ce> forgot about the alt
[20:05] <visual1ce> i guess there is no way i can copy and paste either
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> visual1ce:  install gpm
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> !info gpm
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> that gives mouse on console =  you can copy/paste
[20:06] <geoffmcc> woble: if i understand u trying to ssh in from android to ubuntu. what about using your public ip address instead of local
[20:06] <woble> geoffmcc tried both
[20:07] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis (or interested parties): I have an uh-oh. I tried installed Foomatic-GUI from the software center, and now I keep getting this error message "Items cannot be installed or removed until package catalog is repaired. Do you want to repair it now?"
[20:07] <E8newallm> Right, I'm reinstalling Ubuntu onto my netbook
[20:07] <E8newallm> What partitions do people recommend I make?
[20:07] <E8newallm> It's 160GB
[20:08] <geoffmcc> woble: sorry. all i can think of as i havent had any issues ssh into any of my box's
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> E8newallm:  totally depends on what you are going to do with the pc
[20:08] <E8newallm> Just a normal netbook
[20:09] <E8newallm> Nothing unique or special
[20:09] <IsmAvatar> E8newallm: you only need 2 partitions. One for swap and one for linux. However, it's slightly recommended that you make a 3rd for your home folder.
[20:09] <Dr_Willis> E8newallm:  you could just use a / and swap then.
[20:09] <Dr_Willis> E8newallm:  or 20gb for / and a swap, and rest for home.
[20:09] <mic_problem> my microphone only records an annoying beep. any fix?
[20:09] <E8newallm> I'll do the three partitions then :)
[20:09] <yeats> woble: you have the openssh-server package installed?
[20:09] <E8newallm> So 20GB for the /?
[20:09] <woble> yeats yes I do
[20:09] <Dr_Willis> E8newallm:  i find 10gb to small... it depends on your needsd.
[20:10] <woble> yeats, both client and server
[20:10] <E8newallm> That would be enough for any further updates/upgrades?
[20:10] <Dr_Willis> E8newallm:  ive yet to fill up 20gb / on my systems
[20:10] <woble> geoffmcc , thanks for you input ;)
[20:10] <IsmAvatar> E8newallm: it'll be plenty for updates/upgrades. Main concern would be how much software you plan to install
[20:10] <E8newallm> Right ok, and the swap should be about 1GB?
[20:10] <Dr_Willis> remastering dvd = 4+GB in /tmp/ so 10gb was too small for me. :)
[20:10] <E8newallm> Can't imagine much software. It's not going to be used for much.
[20:11] <apter> Hello!
[20:11] <yeats> is the android on the same LAN or are you going through a router?
[20:11] <IsmAvatar> E8newallm: I'd recommend about as much swap as your ram, not exceeding 2 GB
[20:11] <yeats> woble: ^^
[20:11] <woble> yeats its going through a router.. but its portforwarded correctly
[20:11] <E8newallm> Yeah, it'll be 1GB then
[20:11] <E8newallm> Thanks for your help :)
[20:11] <fisix> what's the best way to have something on your desktop open a commonly used directory?
[20:12] <fisix> other than putting an icon to it on the desktop
[20:12] <altin> hello guys :)
[20:12] <yeats> woble: have you tried connecting from another SSH client on the LAN? (or connecting the android to the LAN)?
[20:12] <altin> can someone tell me how can I turn off all passwords, use only ssh keys
[20:12] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis (or interested parties): I have an uh-oh. I tried installed Foomatic-GUI from the software center, and now I keep getting this error message "Items cannot be installed or removed until package catalog is repaired. Do you want to repair it now?"
[20:12] <woble> yeats, i know the android device works with other machines, i just cant reach thisone.. and cant find mistakes in the setup either
[20:13] <Dr_Willis> IsmAvatar:  tell it yes?
[20:13] <IsmAvatar> Dr_Willis: same error just pops up again
[20:13] <woble> yeats, its portforwarded, yet even with firewalls completely down it refuses connection (time-out). hosts.deny / allow is empty..
[20:13] <yeats> woble: I'm not assuming the problem is with the android - I'm just thinking that you can rule out the router/routing as the cause of the problem if you can connect from another client on the LAN
[20:14] <dom0do> I read most of the Developers Week logs, and I just noticed a typo in a package description. How can I report this to Debian?
[20:14] <woble> yeats, think its the computer setup either.. must be a setting somewhere.. or a single parameter.. but cant think of anything else than already said
[20:16] <yeats> altin: you can't "turn off" passwords, but you can ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id to each computer you're trying to connect to
[20:17] <officeubuntu> can i use an iso to install in wine? i dont have a cd
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> officeubuntu:  you can mount the iso to a directory. and access it from wine. I know.. or perhaps some other way to mount it in wine as a cd. with the winecfg tool
[20:18] <Elssha> So what program is the most comparable with iTouch ?
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> !iso
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> night all
[20:18] <officeubuntu> Dr_Willis: how do I mount to a directory
[20:19] <officeubuntu> how do I mount an iso to a directory
[20:19] <ThinkT510> !iso | officeubuntu
[20:20] <apter> Can I use wine with all windows programs?
[20:21] <fisix> no, it's pretty damn buggy
[20:21] <fisix> won't even work with the latest windows live messenger
[20:21] <ThinkT510> !appdb | apter
[20:21] <Drknzz> Anyone here knows why the haskell-platform package seems to be damaged?
[20:21] <fisix> irc question.. how do you type so it goes to 1 specific person lol
[20:21] <Logan_> !tab | fisix
[20:22] <ThinkT510> fisix: you mean pm or highlight?
[20:22] <apter> Okei!
[20:22] <teek> I tried to add a group, without specifying which ones to keep. And now I've lost them all.
[20:22] <yeats> Drknzz: do you have more details?  what is damaged?  (error messages, etc.)
[20:22] <teek> Someone help! Now I can't get myself back into the sudo group.
[20:22] <apter> But to get wine, can i just type: apt-get install wine?
[20:23] <fisix> !tab | Logan_ ubottu
[20:23] <battlehands> ThinkT510, are you available?
[20:23] <audrey> Yes
[20:23] <Drknzz> yeats: GHCI [The Haskell compiler] does not work
[20:23] <ThinkT510> battlehands: hi, how'd the install go?
[20:23] <audrey> TEST
[20:23] <fisix> both pm and highlight. whatever makes it show as my name:
[20:23] <fisix> in red to me
[20:23] <fisix> i'm using xchat
[20:23] <audrey> Quick question...
[20:23] <battlehands> ThinkT510, very well.  Though, I am having some space issues.
[20:23] <fisix> and thanks logan, i know tab autocompletes in terminal
[20:23] <yeats> !sudo | teek
[20:24] <IsmAvatar> I need help getting drivers for a Lexmark Z11. I have webpages and packages installed, just don't know how to put it together.
[20:24] <ThinkT510> fisix: just mention the nickname in your message to highlight someone
[20:24] <battlehands> ThinkT510, it seems that even though my files are on my "file partition" my Ubuntu partition is running out of room.
[20:24] <Logan_> !lexmark | IsmAvatar
[20:24] <fisix> ThinkT510, highlights
[20:24] <fisix> ahh and pm'ing?
[20:24] <audrey> I have a PCI NETWORK ADAPTER made by TRENDnet is there anyway to get a driver for it?
[20:24] <yeats> Drknzz: that is the literal error message you're seeing?
[20:25] <Drknzz> yeats: No. Its just that no matter what i do, even calling ghci -v throws an error
[20:25] <ThinkT510> fisix: since this is a support channel its best to keep everything in the channel
[20:25] <ThinkT510> !pm
[20:26] <IsmAvatar> Logan_: tried that. It brought me here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersLexmark which doesn't list the Z11.
[20:26] <yeats> Drknzz: I'm not familiar with that particular program, but I would google the specific wording of each error you're seeing
[20:26] <battlehands> ThinkT510, any ideas of what is happening?
[20:26] <Drknzz> yeats: Ok
[20:26] <ThinkT510> battlehands: what have you got installed?
[20:26] <teek> Okay ubottu. Could you tell me what the default groups normally assigned are when you install?
[20:26] <Logan_> !whatareyou | teek
[20:27] <Logan_> oops
[20:27] <audrey> Do i have to get in line or something?
[20:27] <Logan_> !attitude | audrey
[20:27] <battlehands> ThinkT510, we partitioned my drive, remember?
[20:27] <Logan_> IsmAvatar: have you tried this driver? http://sourceforge.net/projects/lz11/
[20:27] <mic_problem> ei
[20:27] <IsmAvatar> Logan_: I don't know how
[20:27] <mic_problem> I got audacity to record!
[20:27] <ThinkT510> battlehands: yes to 15gb, wat is installed on the ubuntu partition?
[20:27] <durt> audrey, nics are usually supported in kernel, if your card is not it's up to the manufacturer to supply one, but even then it's less of a headache to spend $10 and buy one that's supported.
[20:27] <Logan_> mic_problem: congrats
[20:27] <yeats> mic_problem: great!
[20:27] <mic_problem> but gnome-sound-recorder doesnt
[20:27] <mic_problem> LOL.
[20:28] <yeats> mic_problem: take what you can get ;-)
[20:28] <mic_problem> how can I reinstall gnome sound recorders?
[20:28] <mic_problem> recorder
[20:28] <IsmAvatar> Logan_: actually, give me a moment, I'm going to try going through some steps here
[20:29] <yeats> mic_problem: 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall <package>
[20:29] <audrey> Where I can I find a list of support NIC's and can I search based on type?
[20:29] <battlehands> ThinkT510, very few programs.  I think the issues is that when I move my files over to the "file partition" my drive still thinks they are on the "Ubuntu partition".
[20:29] <mic_problem> yeats: i tried gnome-sound-recorder
[20:29] <teek> So, does anyone know what groups the first user is added to by default.
[20:29] <teek> When you install.
[20:29] <durt> audrey, a google search will get you lists of supported hardware easily enough.
[20:29] <battlehands> ThinkT510, I have only increase free space on my Ubuntu partition by moving files to the file partition.
[20:29] <ubun> how do i clear up memory... seems like it fills up quick then flash crashes .... UBUNTU10.10
[20:30] <mic_problem> oh it's gnome media utilities i think
[20:30] <ThinkT510> battlehands: are you copying (so they are on both) or cutting and pasting (so they are moved)
[20:30] <durt> audrey, search based on chipset.
[20:30] <crescendo> What are Ubuntu's aptitude autosuggest and autocomplete features based on?
[20:30] <battlehands> ThinkT510, I believe cutting and pasting.  There are not visible on my desktop or in any of my folders.
[20:31] <mic_problem> is it gnome-media or gnome-media-common
[20:31] <battlehands> ThinkT510, can I view the properties of each drive?
[20:31] <audrey> Ok.. like "SUPPORTED PCI Network Adapters with UBUNTU?"
[20:31] <Guest64570> Need help, went to install  plymouth theme and now cant boot into X anymore. Any ideas how to put it back to default?
[20:31] <durt> audrey, more like 'linux supported network cards' or someting to that effect
[20:32] <ThinkT510> battlehands: not sure what you mean by properties, if you mean amount of free space etc then yes
[20:32] <battlehands> ThinkT510, the drive is not as elegantly available as possible.
[20:33] <xorxorxor> phew
[20:33] <ThinkT510> battlehands: you want to put a shortcut to it in the file manager?
[20:33] <battlehands> ThinkT510, I was hoping to see something like "Windows Partition," "Ubuntu Partition," "File Partition," when I click on "Places" on my desktop.
[20:33] <trans> hello guys
[20:33] <audrey> Ok One last question and then I'm done. I just downloaded the latest from linux : UBUNTU 10.10 and cannot not find a GUI based device manager? I figured UBUNTU would have thrown an X out at me or some error indicated that attached hardware will not function or work properly.
[20:33] <battlehands> ThinkT510, yeah.  I have no idea what Im looking at when I go into mnt.  Its like the partition is tucked away deep in my hard drive somewhere...
[20:34] <battlehands> ThinkT510, I dont know enough to explain it well.
[20:34] <trans> can I get help regarding xilinx here, in case anyone here familiar with it
[20:34] <ThinkT510> battlehands: go to the /mnt directory and tell me how many folders there are in there?
[20:35] <battlehands> ThinkT510, just one.  "Magnificent"
[20:35] <ThinkT510> battlehands: so now you want to add that to the places menu?
[20:35] <mic_problem> looks like gnome sound recorder is stupid
[20:36] <mic_problem> it's looking for the wrong mic
[20:36] <battlehands> ThinkT510, yes.
[20:36] <officeubuntu> guys im trying to install a .gx file how do i  do it
[20:36] <Guest64570> Need help, went to install  plymouth theme and now cant boot into X anymore. Any ideas how to put it back to default?
[20:36] <Warwolt> Hello, I've installed Windows XP And want to dual boot Linux. When I read some tutorials there's supposed to be a "free space" under the device menu in Alloca drive space. I've been trying to use Gparted to make the XP partition smaller but it won't allow me to. What do I do?
[20:36] <officeubuntu> guys im trying to install a tar.gz file
[20:36] <ThinkT510> battlehands: give me a few mins, i'm not very familiar with gnome, i'll google it for you
[20:36] <mic_problem> what is gnome network
[20:36] <mic_problem> ?
[20:36] <mic_problem> !gnome
[20:37] <battlehands> ThinkT510, ok.
[20:37] <officeubuntu> guys im trying to install a tar.gz file howwww
[20:37] <bastidrazor> officeubuntu: normally there is an INSTALL or README file in after you untar it, or from the website you downloaded will have directions
[20:38] <Warwolt> Hello?
[20:38] <durt> audrey, the app 'Jockey' takes care of installing propietary 'blob binaries' for support of the most popular cards that don't have 'in kernel' support.
[20:39] <bastidrazor> battlehands: you could change its mount location to /media and it will put it on the desktop
[20:39] <Warwolt> !kernel
[20:39] <battlehands> bastidrazor, I dont want it on the desktop.
[20:40] <Warwolt> Hello, I've installed Windows XP And want to dual boot Linux. When I read some tutorials there's supposed to be a "free space" under the device menu in Alloca drive space. I've been trying to use Gparted to make the XP partition smaller but it won't allow me to. What do I do?
[20:40] <Pumpkin-> what determines which physical ethernet adaptor gets which ethX device these days ?. I've got a Ubuntu VM that I've change virtualisation technology and eth0 has become eth2. While I can deal with that, I'd like to know for future reference how physical ethernet adpators get device names.
[20:40] <battlehands> bastidrazor, also, I have drives with names that I dont understand
[20:40] <bastidrazor> battlehands: oh, i misread. in nautilus pull up /mnt directory then just drag and drop to the left pane
[20:41] <ThinkT510> bastidrazor: ah, just like thunar?
[20:41] <bastidrazor> ThinkT510: i don't know how thunar works, but if it does that then yes. just like thunar.
[20:41] <battlehands> bastidrazor, that puts the folder on my panel, that doesnt list it in my "Places" drop down menu
[20:41] <bastidrazor> battlehands: you're dragging and dropping i the wrong place then.
[20:41] <Warwolt> Hello, I've installed Windows XP And want to dual boot Linux. When I read some tutorials there's supposed to be a "free space" under the device menu in Alloca drive space. I've been trying to use Gparted to make the XP partition smaller but it won't allow me to. What do I do?
[20:42] <battlehands> bastidrazor, where do I drop it?
[20:42] <bastidrazor> battlehands: the left pane lists all your Places, in nautilus?
[20:42] <milamber> !details | Warwolt
[20:42] <battlehands> bastidrazor, I only have top and bottom panes
[20:42] <audrey> is there a way to see a list of hardware components in my computer using this OS?
[20:42] <yeats> Warwolt: have you done this?: http://www.ehow.com/how_5124581_shrink-windows-xp-partition.html
[20:43] <bastidrazor> battlehands: View > Side Pane, or press F9
[20:43] <fadax> hi
[20:43] <durt> audrey, 'lspci' in a terminal.
[20:43] <battlehands> bastidrazor, umm.. I dont have a View button.  Also, F9 does nothing.
[20:43] <durt> audrey, 'man lspci' for more info/help.
[20:43] <bastidrazor> battlehands: you're using nautilus?
[20:43] <battlehands> bastidrazor, I have no idea.
[20:44] <Warwolt> yeats: I tried to accses the XP partition through Gparted on my USB ubuntu but it won't allow me to resize it
[20:44] <fadax> how can  i find out what graphics card is inside my laptop?  i want to know for sure what card it is (not just the name of the card which i have a driver installed for)
[20:44] <IsmAvatar> well... at least the black works...
[20:44] <battlehands> bastidrazor, Im using Ubuntu...
[20:44] <yeats> Warwolt: what happens when you try?
[20:44] <bastidrazor> battlehands: go to help > about .. what does that tell you?
[20:44] <Guest64570> is there a commandline tool to reconfig X
[20:44] <battlehands> bastidrazor, Im using GNOME
[20:44] <Warwolt> yeats: I can only move it 10mb (which seems to be the free space I have right now) and if I try to manually write in a smaller number it just ignores me and rewrites the original number
[20:44] <milamber> !xconfig | Guest64570
[20:45] <Pumpkin-> Found my own answer. In case anyone was curious, its in udev (specifically: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules)
[20:45] <durt> fadax, 'lspci' and 'lshw' in a terminal, there are apps in the repos that can do this graphically but you need to install them.
[20:45] <battlehands> bastidrazor ! GNOME
[20:45] <battlehands> bah!
[20:45] <ThinkT510> battlehands: he's talking about the file manager
[20:45] <Pedrolima88> hellos sirs,  anyone can tell me fi have a brazilian channel of ubuntu ?
[20:45] <Pedrolima88> or pt
[20:45] <battlehands> ThinkT510, umm... I dont have a "Help About"
[20:46] <battlehands> ThinkT510, Only About Gnome
[20:46] <durt> !br
[20:46] <yeats> Warwolt: (this is veering outside the scope of this channel a bit, but) you may be able to get more space by defragging windows (sometimes more than once)
[20:46] <Pedrolima88> thanks
[20:46] <ThinkT510> battlehands: open a file manager (nautilus)
[20:46] <minimec> Hi I gave emesene and amsn a try. Both cannot send my cam image. amsn gives me the message immediatly -->'xy' rejected invitation for webcam session... can anyone establish a working 'Cam-Conversation with amsn or emesene and msn
[20:46] <bastidrazor> battlehands: take a screenshot and post it to imagebin
[20:46] <bastidrazor> !imagebin
[20:46] <battlehands> oh ok
[20:46] <battlehands> bastidrazor, yeah, Im using Nautilus
[20:47] <battlehands> bastidrazor, 2.32.0
[20:47] <Warwolt> yeats: Perhaps, but the thing is that right now about 99gig of my 100gig is the partition for XP. I need to make it about 50gig or so
[20:47] <ThinkT510> battlehands: do you see the side pane in nautilus?
[20:47] <battlehands> ThinkT510, yes.
[20:47] <naryfa> anybody knows why BASH functions don't work in ubuntu?
[20:48] <ThinkT510> battlehands: drag and drop the directory there
[20:48] <fadax> durt in lspci all i can see related to graphics is:   01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0e31 (rev a1)
[20:48] <battlehands> ok
[20:48] <fadax> how can i get it to tell me the model? i know it's either a nVidia geForce 460M or  a 485M
[20:48] <battlehands> ThinkT510, That worked, but why is it showing up as a file icon instead of a drive icon?
[20:48] <yeats> Warwolt: did you say this was a new WinXP install?  if so, could you delete the windows partition, use gparted to create partitions, then reinstall windows in a 40 GB or so partition (depending on your needs)?
[20:48] <Braber01> Gateway totally F***ed up my system, they deleted my linux partion and now I have a messed up grub how to i get the rid of the ubuntu listinings that arn't there and change grub so windows is the default so Gateway doesn't do something stupid like this again
[20:49] <durt> fadax, experiment with it, lotsa -vvv and maybe sudo, see 'man lspci'
[20:49] <bastidrazor> how did i not explain that right?
[20:49] <vivekbourne> fstab??
[20:49] <ThinkT510> battlehands: because it is a directory
[20:49] <Drknzz> How can i report a broken package? the GHC Haskell compiler from the Maverik repos is not working
[20:49] <Warwolt> yeats: Yeah, I only just got done updating and installing some drivers, so, redoing this isn't too much of a hastle. So I just remove the partition alltogther and redo it as a 40gig partitoin? (Or whatever size I feel I need)
[20:49] <durt> fadax, get the pci code and reference the readme at nvidia.com
[20:49] <bastidrazor> !bug > Drknzz
[20:49] <battlehands> http://imagebin.org/141338
[20:50] <yeats> Warwolt: yes - you can delete it with Gparted
[20:50] <battlehands> ThinkT510, http://imagebin.org/141338
[20:50] <battlehands> bastidrazor, http://imagebin.org/141338
[20:50] <battlehands> ThinkT510, is there any way to change the icon?
[20:50] <naryfa> nybody knows why BASH functions don't work in ubuntu?
[20:50] <naryfa> nybody knows why BASH functions don't work in ubuntu?
[20:50] <naryfa> anybody/
[20:50] <naryfa> ?
[20:50] <FloodBot2> naryfa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:50] <Braber01> !flood | naryfa
[20:50] <yeats> !detals | naryfa
[20:50] <ubun> can i delete everything in my tmp folder or does it contain any nessecary files?
[20:50] <Warwolt> yeats: Done, so now XP is completely gone? I'm making a new one and get to size it up, choosing 40gig
[20:50] <Guest64570> Ok, in big trouble here, i did update-alternatives --config default.plymouth, picked my boot screen and then did an update-initramfs -u  Now i can not boot into X at all, not even in recovery mode, anyone have any ideas how i can undo what ever i have done?
[20:50] <Braber01> opps wrong factioid
[20:51] <yeats> !details | naryfa
[20:51] <ThinkT510> battlehands: does it now appear in the places menu
[20:51] <ubun>  can i delete everything in my tmp folder or does it contain any nessecary files?
[20:51] <yeats> Warwolt: sounds good
[20:51] <fadax> durt ok how can i get the pci code?  i tried sudo lspci -v   and it's shown more info, but doesn't help me identify the card. i see this: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0e31 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])  Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 5102
[20:51] <Zelozelos> if i wanted to permantly change a screens resoloution i could add the xrandr command to /etc/gdm/custom.conf file right?
[20:52] <Warwolt> yeats: How much should I leave completely unpartitioned? I've heard its good partice to leave some for rescuemissions
[20:52] <ubun>  can i delete everything in my tmp folder or does it contain any nessecary files?
[20:52] <naryfa> yeats: my question is clear, why function () {commands} doesn't work in ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
[20:52] <battlehands> ThinkT510, yes.  Can we chance it from a folder icon to a drive icon?
[20:52] <durt> fadax, try lshw, w/wo sudo and the -vvv should get something, if not see system profiler in the repos.
[20:53] <yeats> naryfa: without specific examples of what the problem is, I wouldn't expect much help
[20:53] <ThinkT510> battlehands: technically yes, but you don't need to and i wouldn't know how
[20:53] <vivekbourne> when i try to install anything ,it displays a dialgue box of 'configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer' how to press ok on it??
[20:53] <battlehands> ThinkT510, do you see the other drives listed in my screenshot?
[20:53] <mohit> hi  ..how i run exe files in ubutun
[20:53] <mohit> ubuntu
[20:53] <ThinkT510> battlehands: yes
[20:54] <sec^nd> hello
[20:54] <ubun>  can i delete everything in my tmp folder or does it contain any nessecary files?
[20:54] <sec^nd> I'm cant get ubuntu to install from a cdrom or usb because it fails with an IO error
[20:54] <sec^nd> what is the best way to install ubuntu
[20:54] <battlehands> ThinkT510, What is File System, System Reserved, 81 GB Filesystem?
[20:54] <Warwolt> How much of my harddrive should I leave unpartitoined to save for eventual harddrive rescuemissions?
[20:54] <Braber01> Hi, I'm in gparted, and I'm trying to figure out which linux partions are the ones that have been wiped out by gateway?
[20:55] <naryfa> nybody knows why BASH functions don't work in ubuntu?
[20:55] <alberto_> Hello
[20:55] <[deXter]> Braber01: Why would gateway wipe out random linux partitions on your computer? O.o
[20:55] <bastidrazor> ubun: you would need to stop gdm first.. then yes, you can clear out /tmp
[20:55] <fadax> durt with -vvv i get this: http://pastebin.com/QVM7eqJp   it's quite a lot of info but don't think there is the pci code..?
[20:55] <alberto_> Does anybody know something about VST in Ubuntu?
[20:55] <[deXter]> ubun: Just get bitbleach and let it work the magic.
[20:55] <ThinkT510> battlehands: remember when we were partitioning it? the 81gb was the size of your windows partition, just before that was a tiny restore partition, and file system refers to / of the linux partition
[20:56] <milamber> naryfa: bash works in ubuntu. you have been asked to provide specifics so people could help. repeating your question over and over without providing anything that is asked for is not going to get you any help.
[20:56] <[deXter]> ubun: I meant bleachbit, sorry
[20:56] <Braber01> deXter: I don't know, I just got it back today, and tried to boot up in to my linux partions, and found out that from a live cd that those partions were no longer there.
[20:56] <itaylor57> naryfa: probably because you are not calling them with the right syntax
[20:56] <naryfa> milamber: See? somebody tried.
[20:57] <naryfa> itaylor57: thanks, I'll show you the syntax I got from a book.
[20:57] <ubun> deXter: thanks bastidrazor: what is gdm?
[20:57] <bastidrazor> sec^nd: with a md5 sum'd iso and cd that has been md5 sum'd as well
[20:57] <[deXter]> Braber01: Well look for ext partitions and if any exist try to mount it
[20:57] <yeats> Warwolt: it depends on what you mean by "rescuemissions" - I don't do that because I have an external USB drive for backups of my data - if you have that, you may not need reserve space
[20:57] <bastidrazor> ubun: if you're using ubuntu it is your window manager
[20:57] <milamber> naryfa: somebody told you that you are *probably* doing it wrong. if you provided specific examples, people could tell you what you actually need to know.
[20:57] <mic_working> microphone is working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:57] <ThinkT510> ubun: gnome display manager
[20:58] <vivek_> when i try to install anything , it displays a dialogue box of 'configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer' how to press ok on it..???pls help
[20:58] <durt> fadax, I think '5102' is what your interested in.
[20:58] <ubun> deXter: how do i run bleachbit or does it run auto?
[20:58] <mic_working> system > preferences > multimedia system selector then choose imput ALSA default
[20:58] <bastidrazor> vivek_: you can use tab and spacebar
[20:58] <softhelp> if anyone has ktorrent. what are good settings to block ips
[20:58] <IsmAvatar> oh, got it
[20:58] <milamber> vivek_: sudo apt-get -f install
[20:58] <battlehands> ThinkT510, so.... File System is Ubuntu partition.  81GB is Windows partition.  What is system reserved?
[20:58] <bp0> why goo.gl in stead of ln-s.net ?
[20:59] <vivek_> ok thanks
[20:59] <yeats> Braber01: you mean you sent your computer off for service and they deleted your linux partitions?
[20:59] <bp0> ln-s.net is so much cooler
[20:59] <mohit> hello  ... somebody there .... tell me how i run exe files
[20:59] <mic_working> How can I capture something from TV?
[20:59] <bastidrazor> mohit: with wine
[20:59] <mohit> how
[20:59] <mohit> i dont know
[20:59] <durt> fadax, er, 0e31:5102 could be the pci number/code whatever... I think.
[20:59] <ThinkT510> battlehands: launch gparted and take a look
[20:59] <IsmAvatar> yay, my z11 printer works
[20:59] <bastidrazor> !wine | mohit
[20:59] <naryfa> milamber: http://wklej.org/id/487532/
[20:59] <naryfa> milamber: that's the book example
[20:59] <vivek_> i have wine installed but how to configure it ??
[21:00] <mic_working> !capture
[21:00] <ThinkT510> battlehands: most oems install windows and a restore partition on the computers they make
[21:00] <[deXter]> vivek_: You don't have to.
[21:00] <yeats> naryfa: you create the function, but you don't call it - the function only exists in the script
[21:01] <naryfa> yeats: so I can't run this script with this function in it???
[21:01] <Braber01> I found a disk in my laptop called MRI S.S.I WTF is that?
[21:01] <yeats> naryfa: add a line to the end that says 'whoson' and you'll see it work
[21:01] <ThinkT510> battlehands: the idea of the restore partition is to restore windows
[21:01] <G2k> hey guys I'm thinking of buying a new laptop and was thinking for a moment to go to the evil side and buy a mac
[21:01] <G2k> but I love Ubuntu too much
[21:01] <G2k> what's a good laptop these days?
[21:01] <naryfa> yeats: so the last lline should be the first line?
[21:01] <yeats> naryfa: if you want a function available to you when you log in to your shell, add it to ~/.bashrc
[21:01] <bastidrazor> !ot | g2k
[21:02] <ThinkT510> G2k: i'm biased but i gotta say thinkpad
[21:02] <naryfa> yeats: no no, I want to run it ./
[21:02] <Gibby> I just upgraded to this kernel: 2.6.35-22-generic-pae          it seems to have broke my broadcom wireless... no luck on google, did see a few issues for 2.6.35-1 but it says it was fixed
[21:02] <Guest64570> Ok, in big trouble here, i did update-alternatives --config default.plymouth, picked my boot screen and then did an update-initramfs -u  Now i can not boot into X at all, not even in recovery mode, anyone have any ideas how i can undo what ever i have done? All i get is the recovery menu
[21:02] <yeats> naryfa: no - don't change what you have, just add the line at the bottom
[21:02] <G2k> ThinkT510: I'll take a look, thanks :D
[21:02] <mic_working> "speaker testing for internal audio" is not working. how can I fix this?
[21:03] <naryfa> yeats: what I meant was opening the function requires closing it with the same name?
[21:03] <ThinkT510> G2k: all my hardware works with ubuntu on a thinkpad, t40, t60 and t510
[21:03] <yeats> naryfa: no
[21:04] <naryfa> yeats: I mean in the script
[21:04] <G2k> ThinkT510: it's not so much a hardware issue as much as ...Im looking for a good computer
[21:04] <alberto_> Is there any Ubuntu music production channel around here?
[21:04] <naryfa> yeats: so why do you tell me to add the name to the script????
[21:04] <naryfa> yeats: I don't think you understand
[21:04] <mic_working> .
[21:04] <fisix_> i can't click on my open programs at the bottom...
[21:04] <milamber> alberto_: the closest thing would be #ubuntustudio
[21:05] <naryfa> yeats: Ok, let's try it this way. What needs to be done for this script to actually work.
[21:05] <yeats> naryfa: see here: http://pastebin.com/miExBJFs
[21:05] <alberto_> milamber Thank you very much, but no one ever answers there.
[21:05] <fadax> durt is this what a pci code looks like? 10de:0e31
[21:05] <ThinkT510> G2k: since i'm still running my t40 with xubuntu and 45days uptime and counting i'd say they are really good
[21:05] <yeats> naryfa: in your original, you create a function, but it is never called
[21:05] <Braber01> I tried mounted my pre-existing linux partions and I had no luck, I can't search the disk.
[21:05] <naryfa> yeats: ok, that's exactly what I meant, misunderstanding
[21:05] <durt> fadax, yes, the readme at nvidia.com form the drivers page has a list of all nvidia devices by code.
[21:06] <naryfa> yeats: what do you mean it's never called?
[21:06] <sam__> my other computer update manger is not working can some one help me
[21:06] <durt> from, even
[21:06] <G2k> ThinkT510 k thnx
[21:06] <ubun> does bleachbit run on its own?
[21:06] <bastidrazor>  ubun no, you run it.
[21:06] <fisix_> guys, i can't open the windows i have other than this one
[21:06] <fisix_> what's going on?
[21:06] <fisix_> clicking on firefox and pidgin windows don't open
[21:06] <yeats> naryfa: you are creating a function "whoson()", but that's all - you don't invoke it - adding that last line "whoson" says "now run the function called whoson"
[21:07] <sam__> Can i download 10.4 from the internet
[21:07] <ThinkT510> !10.04 | sam__
[21:07] <sam__> Thank you
[21:08] <ThinkT510> np
[21:08] <naryfa> yeats: makes sense now... so when is it called for, upon execution of the script?

[21:08] <battlehands> ThinkT510, how can I tell what is taking up all the space on my drive?
[21:08] <keith27> is there any way to spoof your ip address by running a local proxy or something?
[21:09] <battlehands> Can I rename my drives in Nautilus?
[21:09] <fisix_> !ask test
[21:09] <yeats> naryfa: if all you want is a script that provides this information, remove the function and just make the script look like this: http://pastebin.com/9XhMzpnx
[21:09] <bastidrazor> ubun: i don't know.. look around in the menus.
[21:10] <yeats> naryfa: then do 'chmod +x whoson' (assuming that's the name of your script), then './whoson' will work
[21:10] <naryfa> yeats: no no, I don't want this, I only wanted to test the example from the book on a function, to see how it works, but thanks.
[21:10] <coz_> battlehands,  you might want to open system/administration/disk utiliy for that
[21:10] <fisix_> !ask none of my windows are opening (pidgin and firefox) nor can i click on anything Applications/Places/System
[21:10] <ThinkT510> battlehands: see the label in gparted, thats what the drives are called when they are mounted automatically
[21:10] <yeats> naryfa: your script was fine, but if you create a function, and then don't call it, you will not see it run
[21:10] <battlehands> ThinkT510, where is says Label?
[21:11] <battlehands> coz_, thanks
[21:11] <fadax> durt i can't find this list of pci codes...
[21:11] <fadax> on the nvidia website
[21:11] <naryfa> yeats: then what you're saying contradicts the book, what are functions for then????
[21:11] <ThinkT510> battlehands: the coloumn next to mount point
[21:11] <battlehands> ThinkT510, Yeah.
[21:11] <alberto_> Does anybody know why I get this message whenever I try to run vsthost? ---> Failed to find dssi-vst-server executable: No such file or directory
[21:11] <alberto_> vsthost: bailing out
[21:11] <dagni> hi
[21:12] <battlehands> ThinkT510, So what is that System Reserved partition?
[21:12] <durt> fadax, it's in the readme that comes with the binary drivers, but you can read it on their site. go to the linux driver section.
[21:12] <dagni> why does update-grub doesnt update the /boot/grub/menu.lst file ?
[21:12] <battlehands> ThinkT510, and why is there a caution symbol next to it?
[21:12] <yeats> naryfa: you'll understand when your bash scripts get more complex
[21:12] <guntbert> !grub2 | dagni
[21:12] <Guest64570> Ok, in big trouble here, i did update-alternatives --config default.plymouth, picked my boot screen and then did an update-initramfs -u  Now i can not boot into X at all, not even in recovery mode, anyone have any ideas how i can undo what ever i have done? All i get is the recovery menu
[21:12] <bastidrazor> dagni: since 9.10 there is no menu.lst
[21:12] <naryfa> yeats: that's not the explanation I need
[21:12] <yeats> !abs | naryfa try this:
[21:12] <dagni> bastidrazor: so which file i have to edit if i want to add new kernel ?
[21:13] <ThinkT510> battlehands: that was there when you got your computer, it was installed as a way to restore the windows partition if needed
[21:13] <naryfa> yeats: I remember that Guide, I should read it more
[21:13] <naryfa> yeats: thanks man
[21:13] <yeats> naryfa: sure
[21:13] <guntbert> keith27: no, but network questions are better answered in ##networking
[21:13] <ThinkT510> battlehands: and it likely has the caution symbol next to it because it isn't mounted
[21:13] <G2k> \q
[21:14] <G2k> oops
[21:14] <bastidrazor> dagni: go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2  and read 'Creating the Custom Menu' .. you'll actually be writing a script to add it, not just editing a file.
[21:14] <durt> fadax, http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.36/README/index.html
[21:15] <yeats> naryfa: functions allow you to modularize your code - so if you wrote a complex "whoson" function with lots of lines, you could just type "whoson" (within your script) rather than having to reinvent the wheel every time you need that code
[21:15] <dagni> bastidrazor: but i don't understand why the command "update-grub" doesnt update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg with new kernel ?
[21:15] <bastidrazor> dagni: how did you install the kernel? via synaptic?
[21:15] <battlehands> ThinkT510, ok.  I think I`ve got it:  System Reserved was created when I installed Windows in order to restore Windows if necessary.  81 GB File System is my Windows partition.  There is no "Ubuntu Partition" displayed while I`m in Ubuntu, because I`m IN Ubuntu.  The file partition we created is somehow linked to the Ubuntu partition, so it shows up as a folder because its a "directory" instead of an actual drive.  Close?
[21:16] <dagni> bastidrazor: apt-get upgrade
[21:16] <ivov> can anyone help me to upgrade my alsa driver to 1.0.9 ? I'm on 10.04 and I have no luck compiling the driver myself, the configure command gives me NO PREDEFINED KERNEL COMPILER IS DETECTED and make fails
[21:16] <ivov> can I upgrade from a package maybe?
[21:16] <naryfa> yeats: I see, let me just underline that this is an example from "A Practical Guide to The Unix System" by Mark Sobell
[21:16] <fadax> thanks durt
[21:16] <ivov> my current alsa version is 1.0.21
[21:16] <fadax> i can't find it on that list though
[21:16] <fadax> but the 485M isn't on the list so maybe i have that
[21:16] <coz_> ivov,  have you checked in the #alsa channel?
[21:16] <bastidrazor> dagni: did apt-get fail? it should have added the kernel without you having to do anything.
[21:17] <ThinkT510> battlehands: good so far, the ubuntu partition is the one called file system because you are in ubuntu
[21:17] <ivov> hmm I was about to, but I think the problem might be that I'm using ubuntu
[21:17] <ivov> I'll check there now as well
[21:17] <coz_> ivov,  I compile on my system but for me I need to know the name of the card
[21:17] <leapy0yo> hi
[21:17] <leapy0yo> can i move just directories and not files?
[21:17] <dagni> bastidrazor: it ended succesfully without any errors
[21:17] <battlehands> ThinkT510, and the file partition was created as a directory instead of a "drive"?
[21:17] <mic_working> Which video capture card do you recommend for Ubuntu/Linux?
[21:17] <milamber> leapy0yo: you have to add -R to the cp command
[21:18] <ivov> hmm I'm trying to get my acl1200 realtek chip to work
[21:18] <coz_> ivov,  I know you will need the alsa.libs   alsa-driver and alsa-firmware packages
[21:18] <darkos> after installing 10 LTS, and rebooting i've been dumped into the GRUB command line, and I'm getting "unkown command kernel" any ideas?
[21:18] <bastidrazor> dagni: i have no idea why it wasn't added during the installation process.
[21:18] <ivov> I can compile utils and tools, but not the driver
[21:18] <softhelp> guys I have an iso, how do I make it work with wine
[21:19] <ivov> coz_: the problem seems to be in the include files, I get a long list of include errors
[21:19] <softhelp> guyss
[21:19] <naryfa> ok, gotta go, thanks for information
[21:19] <mic_working> Which video capture card do you recommend for Ubuntu/Linux?
[21:19] <naryfa> I'll be back soon
[21:19] <leapy0yo> hi
[21:19] <leapy0yo> can i move just directories and not files?
[21:19] <coz_> ivov,  the command for the driver is something like ;  ./configure --with-cards=nameofyourcard --with-oss-yes/no --with-sequencer=yes/no
[21:19] <yeats> naryfa: good luck - try #bash too
[21:19] <battlehands> coz_, disk utility wont let me rename any of the labels of my drives.
[21:19] <leapy0yo> how do i move just directories and not files?
[21:19] <ThinkT510> battlehands: because we added it manually to fstab it comes up as a folder (directory), it would appear as a drive if it was automatically detected (but we made it after you installed ubuntu)
[21:20] <naryfa> yeats: I need to learn more
[21:20] <coz_> battlehands,  did you try the "Edit Filesystem Label"  option?/
[21:20] <Guest64570> Ok, in big trouble here, i did update-alternatives --config default.plymouth, picked my boot screen and then did an update-initramfs -u  Now i can not boot into X at all, not even in recovery mode, anyone have any ideas how i can undo what ever i have done? All i get is the recovery menu no matter what i pick in the grub menu
[21:20] <battlehands> coz_, yes and the option is grey`d out
[21:20] <battlehands> ThinkT510, so if I added the partition before I was in Ubuntu then it would show up as a drive?
[21:20] <ThinkT510> battlehands: i think so yes
[21:21] <battlehands> ThinkT510, this is excellent
[21:21] <vivek_> not able to work with wine:((
[21:21] <ecco> hey guys, how do i disable the "auto sleep" mode on ubuntu? (I wanna let transmission (torrent client) running when i go to bed)
[21:21] <ThinkT510> battlehands: to edit a label of a partition it must be unmounted
[21:21] <battlehands> ThinkT510, now Im going to work to rename those drives so I can kept better track of whats what
[21:21] <chaozuper> irc.purplesurge.net
[21:22] <zehruela> hey, how do i disable the auto sleep on ubuntu 10.10? When i left the torrent client running it simply goes to sleep
[21:22] <battlehands> ThinkT510, ok.  So Im going to have to run my livecd session, un mount my drives, run disk utility to relabel, remount drives, boot back into ubuntu drive session?
[21:22] <bastidrazor> zehruela: Syatem > Preferences > Power Management
[21:22] <neiz> battlehands: system->pref->power management
[21:22] <neiz> err zehruela sorry :p
[21:22] <battlehands> neiz, no problem
[21:23] <ThinkT510> battlehands: you can unmount them frm ubuntu (except the ubuntu partition of course)
[21:23] <zehruela> bastidrazor, thx
[21:23] <Jordan_U> zehruela: Right click the top pannel > Add to pannel > Inhibit applet. You can click on the applet to inhibit / uninhibit sleep.
[21:23] <bastidrazor> zehruela: you're welcome.
[21:23] <battlehands> using "sudo -unmount ect?
[21:24] <ThinkT510> battlehands: or via gparted or the file manager
[21:24] <bastidrazor> nice applet, didn't know about that one.
[21:24] <bastidrazor> battlehands: if you're doing it from terminal it would be sudo umount /path/to/mountpoint
[21:24] <fadax> durt since my pci id is: 10de:0e31   should i be looking for 10de or 0e31 in the list of graphics cards?
[21:25] <battlehands> thanks
[21:25] <battlehands> be back soon
[21:26] <ThinkT510> ok

[21:36] <AlexO> I have a question concerning ubuntu and wusb54gc ver3
[21:36] <hugo___> hello everyone
[21:36] <AlexO> I seem to get an awful lot of random disconnection with my wireless connection
[21:37] <mic_working> didnt get any help today
[21:37] <mic_working> just helped others
[21:37] <mic_working> shame
[21:37] <mic_working> cya later
[21:38] <AlexO> also slightly unrelated but just as annoying : The focus of the mouse seems to be acting up quite a bit
[21:39] <hugo___> iv been searching the web for an solution but havent got any clear answers. Just bought a laptop with the nvidia 310m graphics card. Works well but when i configure it to use 3d acc xserver fails. When altering the xorg.conf i get blackscreen and need to remove the .conf using recovery mode rooted terminal. ANyone now anything about this issue? Would love to use visual effects
[21:39] <yeats> !nvidia | hugo___
[21:39] <EricBlade> hi guys.  after a reboot, my new ubuntu system's fonts look terrible on my lcd .. on my secondary crt they still look fantastic.  however, they look fine on the LCD while i'm moving windows, but when i stop dragging them, they go back to looking terrible.
[21:40] <AlexO> it seemed to be relatively common in 9.04, but I'm using 10.10, and I still get a lot of those
[21:40] <EricBlade> any thoughts on that?  the different font options in Appearance only go from "terrible" to "most terrible"
[21:40] <yeats> EricBlade: could be a video card driver issue?
[21:41] <EricBlade> yeats: i'd say that's probably unlikely, considering it was working fine until a crash about an hour ago, and i'd rebooted a few times over the prior day
[21:41] <yeats> EricBlade: what caused the crash?
[21:41] <AlexO> and I just got a popup saying "Could not grab your mouse.bbA malicious client may be eavesdropping on your session or you may have just clicked a menu or some application just decided to get fous.  Try again"
[21:41] <AlexO> and I can't click on "close"
[21:42] <EricBlade> yeats: no idea, i've had two hard lockups since installing ubuntu, wasn't really doing anything inparticular during either of them
[21:42] <ahklerner> hi i have a problem, i trying to start using opencv. i did this "sudo apt-get install python-opencv python-pygame python-imaging " and the code here worked.....https://github.com/benosteen/FaceRecognition    ----- then i followed the instructions on http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Packages and now scripts just get errors
[21:42] <EricBlade> yeats: it's possibly something to do with wine, as that's about the only thing consistent, is i'm trying to get a particular app to run in wine
[21:43] <yeats> EricBlade: hmm - I would probably consider whatever is causing the lockups to be the primary issue
[21:43] <ahklerner> i have tried apt-get remove blah blah and reinstall, but it doesnt help
[21:43] <EricBlade> the part that really gets me, though, is that while i'm moving the windows, the fonts look fine, and then when i stop, a moment later, they fuzz out.
[21:43] <dagni> i have "Ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-27-generic" in /boot/grub/menu.lst but when i run "update-grub" the new kernel is not listed in /boot/grub/grub.cfg why is that ?
[21:43] <ahklerner> how can i totally remove the stuff so i can reinstall
[21:44] <Logan_> ahklerner: did you try purging it?
[21:44] <mohit> i have read that tutorials one or same materials on wine .... i am not able to mark that software as executable ... so there is another way to do that
[21:44] <Connor_B> ThinkT510, will that let me create a wireless hotspot from my laptop (XPS-L501X) while im connected to a wireless ap?
[21:45] <ahklerner> Logan_ yes i did
[21:45] <ahklerner> something got fubar and i have no idea how to fix
[21:45] <yeats> EricBlade: I would rule out hardware problems before continuing... I've never seen what you're describing
[21:45] <ThinkT510> Connor_B: sorry, not sure, perhaps someone else may know
[21:45] <Elssha> So hat is the best music program nowadays? I've been using amarok (1.4) up to now... iPod ( touch) comparability would be a plus

[21:47] <AlexO> I managed to close the window by using the keyboard shortcut.  But now, I cannot click on the menu bar or anything else
[21:47] <AlexO> has anybody experienced something like this?
[21:48] <AlexO> I saw on a forum about assistive technologies being in the way, but it doesn't change anything for the mouse focus
[21:48] <sagaci> Banshee is coming along

[21:53] <yeats> tetis: you might try installing libxml2-dev - often installing the -dev package for whatever a ./configure script complains about solves the problem
[21:53] <ThinkT510> battlehands: do a lot of browsing, watching youtube vids?
[21:53] <tetis> i'll try
[21:53] <yeats> tetis: also, you can do 'apt-cache policy <package>' to see which versions of what are installed/available
[21:54] <battlehands> ThinkT510, browsing, yes.  Youtube, no.
[21:54] <ThinkT510> battlehands: try clearing the cache in your browser (i assume its firefox)
[21:55] <battlehands> yes

[21:59] <tetis> all right I got another question when i do this procedure - ./configure; make; make install, where does all that files goes?
[22:00] <yeats> tetis: in most cases, programs will go into the "standard" directories - binaries in /bin, configs in /etc, and so on
[22:00] <tetis> all right I got another question when i do this procedure - ./configure; make; make install, where does all that files goes?
[22:00] <needlez> anyone here know how to fix the negative -1 channel issue?? I have tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598930&highlight=aircrack-ng, already and it doesnt work for me... any ideas would be helpful

[22:01] <battlehands> ThinkT510, I unmounted my windows partition in Gparted to change the label.  How do I remount?
[22:01] <Pumpkin-> tetis: it literally depends on what you are installing. configure usually has some options where you can specifiy where you want things to go (check ./configure --help).
[22:01] <yeats> battlehands: try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-find-the-largest-filesdirectories-on-a-linuxunixbsd-filesystem/
[22:01] <ThinkT510> battlehands: just select the partition in gparted rightclick and mount
[22:02] <wica> Hi,

[22:10] <ipwnage> DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
[22:10] <ThinkT510> battlehands: thats odd, try restarting, it might need to dynamically create the device name according to the label you just gave it
[22:11] <Connor_B> ipwnage you need ifuse from the software center
[22:11] <ipwnage> and then i will be able to mount my ipod?
[22:12] <kn100> ipwnage, this sounds simple
[22:12] <ipwnage> im downloading it now
[22:12] <kn100> ipwnage, but make sure your ipod touch is unlocked when plugging it in
[22:12] <Connor_B> yes but you have to make sure you kave all the packages
[22:12] <ipwnage> i did and still got the same message
[22:13] <kn100> hmn
[22:13] <Elssha> Anyone know why my cursor theme only works over certain windows (firefox, etc) but not when over the desktop and some other places?

[22:13] <miri> hey guys I have a username without a password, and when I try to download an app FlashROM from the  UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER - It asks for a password to install the app - however i dont have a password for the login,m my login name is simply miri
[22:13] <Connor_B> it took me like 3 hours the other day to find all of them

[22:13] <ef> Ok I may need help :P
[22:13] <miri> any way to install the app if I dont have a pssword
[22:13] <kn100> ef, go on
[22:13] <ef> It doesn't say the name of the wireless card
[22:13] <kn100> ef, just copy and paste the contents of lspci to pastebin.com
[22:14] <ef> It just says "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8192 (rev 01)
[22:14] <overclucker> miri you probably just dont know your password
[22:14] <ef> I can't :P
[22:14] <miri> overclucker:  when i login - password is empty
[22:14] <ef> My netbook has no internet :P
[22:14] <overclucker> miri: can you open a terminal?
[22:14] <miri> overclucker: : i just click login..
[22:14] <miri> overclucker:  yes
[22:16] <overclucker> miri: you can set a new password by typing this in a terminal: passwd
[22:16] <Connor_B> ipwnage ok give me a minute to find all the packages
[22:16] <ef> So is there any other way of finding the name of the wireless card?
[22:16] <ipwnage> okay
[22:16] <ef> There's the name of the ethernet card here
[22:16] <ThinkT510> battlehands: did it work>
[22:16] <battlehands> ThinkT510, I just needed to apply changes  :)
[22:16] <ThinkT510> ahh
[22:17] <miri> overclucker:  weird, the password isnt empty
[22:17] <Elssha> Anyone here use the rgba gtk+ module?
[22:17] <ThinkT510> battlehands: i should have noticed that from the imagebin
[22:17] <overclucker> miri: passwd hides input, but it virifies input
[22:17] <battlehands> ThinkT510, Im going to run a live session, unmount my ubuntu partition, rename it, remount it, and boot back up.
[22:17] <battlehands> ThinkT510, brb!
[22:17] <ThinkT510> ok
[22:18] <miri> anyhow - can I disable the UBUNTU software from asking a password on istall for now?
[22:18] <miri> All I am trying to do is to install FlashROM to flash my bios
[22:18] <everythingWorks> hey
[22:18] <everythingWorks> I've just installed ubuntu
[22:19] <ThinkT510> !yay | everythingWorks
[22:19] <everythingWorks> Unfortunately, ubuntu installs a lot of software, which i will never use
[22:19] <everythingWorks> So can i uninstall all that software with less clicks? :D
[22:19] <Sadistt0> yes u can
[22:19] <Sadistt0> from Synaptic (package manager)
[22:20] <ThinkT510> !uninstall | everythingWorks
[22:20] <overclucker> miri: you probably need to enter recovery mode to reset your password
[22:20] <miri> overclucker:  how?
[22:20] <gerts> Are there any good site where i can find research litterature regarding open source community?
[22:21] <Connor_B> ipwnage, search for libimobiledevice in Ubuntu software center and install all of the packages
[22:21] <overclucker> miri: reboot your computer, enter the grub menu, and selct ubuntu recovery mode
[22:22] <skullboy> dose ubuntu use getty
[22:22] <yanick_> hi, when I burn DVD's with Brasera, it fails to eject the drive and ask me to do it manually. The problem is that the drive is no longer mounted and just keeps on spinning.... This is on a laptop (Dell XPS) with an internal drive, so there's no way to mecanically eject the CD. Please help!
[22:22] <overclucker> miri: if you don't see grub menu, you might need to press press esc while booting
[22:22] <miri> overclucker:  can i try to install it from konsole?
[22:22] <miri> FlashROM
[22:22] <ipwnage> theres 2 already installed
[22:23] <bastidrazor> overclucker: miri grub2 .. you need to press shift
[22:23] <skullboy> dose ubuntu use getty
[22:23] <Elssha> Anyone here use the RGBA gtk+ module?
[22:23] <xorwhy> I have a bash script that generates and executes a script, it used to work fine. Now when the main script tries to execute one of its generated scripts I get this error: There was an error creating the child process for this terminal permission denied
[22:23] <ipwnage> libimobiledevice1 and libimobiledevice1-dbg
[22:23] <Elssha> Idk what step 4 means
[22:23] <xorwhy> strangely enough, if I start another terminal window and execute the generated script, it executes fine
[22:23] <Connor_B> install all of them
[22:23] <Sadistt0> yanick_: open terminal ant type eject
[22:23] <Elssha> 5* step 5
[22:23] <everythingWorks> what makes a following "&"? Example: "synaptic &"
[22:23] <bastidrazor> skullboy: yes
[22:23] <overclucker> bastidrazor: shift is it?
[22:23] <yanick_> Sadistt0, :) cheers!
[22:24] <bastidrazor> overclucker: yes.
[22:24] <skullboy> bastidrazor: what getty does it use
[22:24] <miri> overclucker:  I just need to flash a .rom file - i think FlashROM can do it, i have the file on the dekstop
[22:24] <xorwhy> Anyone know how to get rid of this error?
[22:24] <Wiesshund> well, i am bummed. with my vid driver removed i get a nice plymouth boot screen, with it installed i just get a lile square purpe ubuntu thing with 5 dots
[22:25] <scarleo> everythingWorks: backgrounds the process so it releases terminal
[22:25] <overclucker> miri: you will need your password to install software, and you'll probably need to set your password at some point anyways
[22:25] <Wiesshund> Anyone else have ATI and cant use the plymouth xsplash screens?
[22:26] <miri> overclucker:  i dont remember it .. however I login ubuntu without a password
[22:26] <skullboy> bastidrazor: what getty does it use
[22:26] <everythingWorks> scarleo thx
[22:26] <bastidrazor> skullboy: what version?
[22:26] <leapy0yo> how do I move just directories and not files or vice-versa
[22:26] <skullboy> bastidrazor: yea
[22:27] <ipwnage> connor_b: it is already installed
[22:27] <Wiesshund> leapy0yo just simply mv them?
[22:27] <bastidrazor> !info util-linux | skullboy :getty is provided by this package
[22:27] <overclucker> miri: you probably need to run your flash tool as superuser
[22:27] <Connor_B> ipwnage: All of them??
[22:28] <overclucker> miri: and you'll need your password for that
[22:28] <ipwnage> two of them...do i need to install all?
[22:28] <Connor_B> ipwnage: yess
[22:28] <Connor_B> ipwnage: yes
[22:28] <skullboy> bastidrazor: how do i run the init at level 2 or higher
[22:29] <ipwnage> it wont let me install all of them
[22:29] <Connor_B> is it giving you an error?
[22:29] <ipwnage> i got the -doc and -utils to install but thats it
[22:29] <leapy0yo> wiesshund, i used mv but it moves all directories, oh, btw this is a ntfs and external drive
[22:29] <leapy0yo> forget it, i will simply use nautilus
[22:30] <ipwnage> it says "libimobiledevice-dev:   Depends: libimobiledevice1 (=1.0.1-1) but 1.0.4-1ubuntu1~lucid1 is to be installed  Depends: libplist-dev but it is not going to be installed  Depends: libusbmuxd-dev but it is not going to be installed"
[22:30] <Connor_B> how many are in the list?
[22:30] <ipwnage> i have 4 of the 7 installed
[22:31] <Guest47940> What if any development is being seen with btrfs? Will it become the replacement for ext4 soon in ubuntu?
[22:31] <ipwnage> still can't get it to mount though
[22:31] <Connor_B> what does it say if you try to install all of them
[22:31] <skullboy> bastidrazor: how do i run the init at level 2 or higher
[22:32] <MK`> Is there any risk for me attempting to install more than one program at once? I know Windows always made it seem like the OS would implode if I so much as had notepad open
[22:32] <bugra> is there anyone knowing how to uninstall a ubuntuStudio
[22:32] <Connor_B> ipwnage: what version is your ipod firmware?
[22:33] <ipwnage> when i mark the -dev one to install it says it need to install other things with it i hit okay then it wont mark it for instalation it just gives what i posted earlier
[22:33] <bastidrazor> skullboy: upstart has replaced System V init
[22:33] <kn100> why does ubuntu say I only have 59% battery when it's been on charge all day?
[22:33] <ipwnage> i got the python one to install so there is only two not installed
[22:34] <kn100> and the hardware battery lights indicate full charge
[22:34] <guntbert> MK`: go ahead and don't worry, the package manager takes care
[22:34] <skullboy> bastidrazor: how do i run that as level 2
[22:34] <ipwnage> does it say your battery may be broken or damaged?
[22:34] <MK`> ok
[22:34] <kn100> ipwnage, nope, perfectly good battery, windows reports it as 100% charge
[22:34] <kn100> it's an ubuntu issue
[22:34] <Wiesshund> Anyone else have ATI and cant use the plymouth xsplash screens? I know its just a boot screen, but still kind of a bummer
[22:34] <bastidrazor> skullboy: what are attempting to accomplish?
[22:35] <ipwnage> i don't know then
[22:35] <Connor_B> ipwnage: which ones are not installing and what is the firmware version on your ipod
[22:35] <Pilif12p> so its not possible to fsck a ntfs partition?
[22:36] <ipwnage> i have 2g ipod touch mb on 4.2.1 jailbroken
[22:36] <skullboy> Multiuser mode
[22:36] <skullboy>     When the system reaches a suitable run level (2 or higher), init starts a series of processes called gettys. (In /etc/inittab each line specifying a getty process includes the option respawn. This means that whenever a getty process dies, init spawns a replacement with the same parameters immediately. The getty options include a tty serial line, which it serves.
[22:36] <kn100> new question
[22:36] <kn100> my grub used to list my windows seven, it no longer does after an update
[22:36] <ipwnage> its the libimobiledevice1-dev and the libimobiledevice0
[22:36] <kn100> how can I fix this
[22:36] <mjn> thanks all for the info....
[22:36] <mjn> gotta go..
[22:37] <mjn> thanks all for the info....
[22:37] <mjn> gotta go

[22:38] <skullboy> bastidrazor: i want multiuser mode on
[22:38] <ipwnage> ubuntu fails at dual monitors -.-
[22:39] <guntbert> skullboy: you *have* multiuser mode, those runlevels are not valid on ubuntu
[22:39] <leapy0yo> how do you view the size of a certain directory
[22:39] <sivik> what is the art of forcing yes for cp
[22:39] <Connor_B> ipwnage: i dont have those what version of ubuntu are you on
[22:39] <bastidrazor> leapy0yo: du -s directory
[22:39] <MK`> how do I execute a .run file?
[22:39] <ipwnage> 10.10
[22:39] <guntbert> skullboy: or do you want text only (no graphics)?
[22:39] <sivik> MK`, chmod +x file.run && ./file.run
[22:39] <ipwnage> i upgraded like an hour ago
[22:41] <ipwnage> im in synaptic package manager not in the software center
[22:41] <bugra> hi everybody i made a mistake by installing ubuntustudio with a dvd or i should have upgraded. do you know how can i uninstall?
[22:41] <Connor_B> ipwnage: do it in the software center
[22:41] <MK`> thanks sivik
[22:42] <ipwnage> i have all of them except for one
[22:42] <Connor_B> ipwnage: install that one
[22:43] <ipwnage> it says "Sorry, 'libimobiledevice0' is not available for this type of computer (i386)."
[22:44] <Connor_B> ipwnage: are you in software center
[22:44] <ipwnage> ya
[22:45] <Wiesshund> Anyone remember the website that shows how to install ubuntu from an ISO when no cd or usb capability is available?
[22:46] <sivik> Wiesshund, you wanna do it via usb?
[22:46] <sivik> Wiesshund, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[22:46] <Connor_B> ipwnage: do sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:46] <Jordan_U> Wiesshund: What operating system is currently on the machine?
[22:46] <Wiesshund> Jordan win7 lite
[22:47] <guntbert> Guest65783: don't run IRC as root
[22:47] <dejan_> good browser for ubuntu?
[22:47] <ipwnage> firefox!
[22:48] <LjL> dejan_: Ubuntu wouldn't come with Firefox if it weren't good, i think
[22:48] <Loshki> Wiesshund: try http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, the 'frugal install' option
[22:48] <Jordan_U> Wiesshund: You can install Ubuntu within Windows using Wubi. I'd normally prefer a normal dual boot install though.
[22:48] <Wiesshund> sivik unfortunately no usb booting is available on this lil POS im tinkering with
[22:48] <sivik> Wiesshund, not sure of any other way then
[22:48] <dejan_> LjL :) ok thanks but i have hp laptop and text fonts are small :S
[22:49] <Drknzz> LjL: It isnt good enough for KDE users tho :(
[22:49] <Wiesshund> Jordan_U yea i kinda dont want windows either, there was an article on doing it with unetbootin but now i cant find it
[22:49] <ipwnage> anythings better than Internet Explorer though xD
[22:49] <soreau> I have a 500MB usb stick and I want to install ubuntu on it. Is it enough space?
[22:49] <ipwnage> still not working connor
[22:49] <LjL> dejan_: i think font size can be adjusted...
[22:49] <dejan_> LjL should I download additional fonts or? they are noticably smaller then they were in firefox on win xp
[22:49] <bastidrazor> dejan_: press control and scroll up on the mouse.. it'll enlarge the fonts in firefox
[22:49] <dejan_> bastidrazor LjL thanks
[22:50] <Jordan_U> Wiesshund: Loshki: A "frugal install", as I've heard the term used, is not a full install. For instance it can't be upgraded.
[22:50] <ipwnage> Connor_B what was that supposed to do?
[22:50] <dejan_> other then firefox am I missing some nasty browser? :)
[22:51] <Connor_B> ipwnage: it makes sure all of your packages are up to date
[22:51] <dejan_> I read there are alot bowsers for ubuntu
[22:51] <bastidrazor> dejan_: i like chromium fairly well. there is a ppa for it.
[22:51] <Jordan_U> Wiesshund: If you were to install Ubuntu overwriting Windows, and the install failsed somehow, how would you recover without any other boot media?
[22:51] <metta> dejan_: chromium isn't in the default install of ubuntu
[22:52] <Wiesshund> Jordan_U the lil pos netbook has a recovery rom
[22:52] <dejan_> ok thanks
[22:52] <ipwnage> oh well it still doesn't work
[22:52] <dejan_> i am sorry whats difference in chrome chromium ...
[22:52] <Jordan_U> Wiesshund: Recovert ROM or recovery partition?
[22:52] <Jordan_U> *recovery
[22:52] <Wiesshund> Jordan_U and if it died, i dont think id care a whole lot anyways, i got it free, it flew through a car windshield
[22:53] <drc> dejan_: in Firefoc Edit>Preferences>Content>advanced...you can chose the default fonts and sizes...and UNCHECK Allow pages to choose their own fonts, you can force your choices on every site/page
[22:53] <Wiesshund> Jordan_U its actualy on a rom on this silly thing
[22:53] <Jordan_U> Wiesshund: Wow.
[22:53] <Connor_B> ipwnage: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone read this and see if it helps
[22:53] <dejan_> drc thanks I used zoom and now it is ok i will see options firefox have ton of them :S
[22:54] <drc> dejan_: ok...have fun :)
[22:54] <dejan_> chrome chromium what is the difference which is better?
[22:55] <metta> dejan_: firefox is better
[22:55] <Jordan_U> Wiesshund: You can install via wubi, then use grub2 from wubi to load the kernel and initrd of the Ubuntu netinstall to completely overwrite windows with Ubuntu. I'm sorry I can't walk you through that in detail at the moment as I need to leave soon.
[22:55] <drc> dejan_: I only use Firefox, because none of the other browsers have that "force my fonts" option (if one does can someone let me know?)
[22:55] <Wiesshund> Jordan_U ill make a note of that if the no usb thing in unetbootin dont work
[22:57] <dejan_> ok thanks all
[22:57] <dejan_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium
[22:58] <ipwnage> i got this
[22:58] <ipwnage> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[22:58] <Jordan_U> Wiesshund: You can probably use unetbootin to boot from the minimal / netinstall image. It's important that it be minimal/netinstall as that loads the installer entirely into RAM so that you can overwrite the (Windows) partition you booted from, while booted.
[22:59] <chibihogoshino> ipwnage: are you root ?
[22:59] <ipwnage> ?
[22:59] <ipwnage> im the only user on this computer
[22:59] <Wiesshund> Jordan_U yep thats the plan if all goes well :)
[22:59] <Connor_B> ipwnage: what are you doing?
[22:59] <ipwnage> i typed what it said to into the terminal
[23:00] <chibihogoshino> ipwnage: put sudo before what you typed
[23:00] <ipwnage> in var/lib/dpkg/lock it has an x in the upper right hand corner of it what does that mean?
[23:00] <chibihogoshino> what
[23:01] <chibihogoshino> are you looking at the lock file ?
[23:01] <ipwnage> the file it said it couldnt open....it has an x over the file
[23:01] <Connor_B> ipwnage: did you type sudo before apt-get upgrade
[23:01] <ipwnage> ya
[23:02] <Connor_B> ipwnage: did you type your password
[23:02] <ipwnage> ya
[23:02] <ipwnage> i know how to work the terminal.
[23:02] <chibihogoshino> sudo bash and run apt-get update
[23:02] <Wiesshund> some reason ive inherited 3 mini laptops all with no screens. shame the screens cost near $200 and the laptops only cost like $225 new
[23:02] <ipwnage> i got it
[23:03] <ipwnage> i think
[23:03] <ipwnage> buy the screen and replace yourself?
[23:03] <iceroot> chibihogoshino: sudo apt-get update   instead of sudo bash; apt-get update
[23:03] <ipwnage> its doing what its supposed to be doing now
[23:04] <Wiesshund> ipwnage at near 200 bucks, not worth it to buy the screens
[23:04] <techqbert> random hardware Q: is it okay to connect the power and sata to a previously unplugged sata drive in ubuntu much less any other OS like opensolaris?
[23:04] <Connor_B> ipwnage: great
[23:04] <ipwnage> i thought you meant it was that much to have it fixed
[23:05] <ipwnage> the terminal is its still not mounting
[23:05] <Wiesshund> just gonna set them up with cheap 14" desktop lcd's for now
[23:05] <Connor_B> ipwnage: mounting what?
[23:05] <ipwnage> my ipod
[23:05] <ipwnage> the same thing we have been trying to get work
[23:06] <Wiesshund> techqbert well if its a removable sata drive yea, dunno that i would wont to do it on one of the non hotswapped ports though
[23:07] <Connor_B> ipwnage: with your ipod pluged in type ideviceinfo into terminal
[23:08] <ipwnage> GNUTLS ERROR: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.

[23:11] <bazhang> !unetbootin > carbonate
[23:11] <carbonate> ubottu: Thanks but the installer is broken, is there another way?
[23:11] <carbonate> Is it possible to change where the installer installs from? I have another sata drive in addition to the one I want to use
[23:11] <carbonate> :(
[23:12] <bazhang> carbonate, ubiquity is not broken
[23:12] <chibihogoshino> xorwhy: variations in signal propagation
[23:12] <ipwnage> connor that just said "GNUTLS ERROR: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received."

[23:12] <carbonate> Seems broken to me :(
[23:12] <bazhang> carbonate, its your iso
[23:12] <carbonate> I've used 4 of them
[23:12] <bazhang> !md5 | carbonate
[23:12] <carbonate> Nope
[23:12] <carbonate> I've done that

[23:13] <xorwhy> chibihogoshino: I'm assuming that means there's nothing I can do about it, yes?
[23:13] <carbonate> I think its the usb drive i'm using

[23:13] <root_> Like WinFlash but gfor linux
[23:13] <carbonate> bazhang: It crashes

[23:13]  * drc wonders why something that works for thousands of people every week is suddenly "broken" when it won't work for "you"?
[23:13] <bazhang> carbonate, then its a problem on your end

[23:14] <Wiesshund> 512 ram? er Puppy maybe?
[23:14] <carbonate> bazhang: I think its the usb drive which is why I'm asking if there is a way to manual configure the drive with a bootloader and shit
[23:14] <bazhang> carbonate, no cursing please
[23:14] <carbonate> kk
[23:14] <MajorAstr> I try that but I don't like
[23:15] <Wiesshund> what ver of puppy you try? puppy is built from ubuntu
[23:15] <bazhang> carbonate, install without the problem drive, use the alternate text based installer
[23:15] <carbonate> How would I put a bootloader on a drive that is brandnew untouched
[23:15] <bazhang> !alternate > carbonate
[23:15] <MajorAstr> ok
[23:15] <carbonate> bazhang: Its the only USB drive I have available
[23:15] <Elirips> carbonate, do a netboot
[23:15] <carbonate> netboot?
[23:15] <bazhang> carbonate, its an iso. the alternate
[23:15] <carbonate> I'll google it thanks
[23:15] <chibihogoshino> xorwhy: try moving to other locations and scanning
[23:16] <Connor_B> ipwnage: try thishttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8563416 im getting desperate now
[23:16] <Elirips> carbonate, i had a problem some time ago, with a sata-driver, i dont remember exactly. I finally managed to install ubuntu by setting up a dhcp-server on my network, boot the machine with PXE, get an ip and download the iso
[23:16] <Elirips> carbonate, there is a howto somewhere, i dont remember exactly
[23:17] <ipwnage> thats for 9.10
[23:17] <bazhang> !install
[23:17] <ALFA> hi all
[23:17] <carbonate> Sounds like a plan but I only have one computer
[23:17] <magpiie> do i need to defrag with ubuntu? if so, what program do i use?
[23:17] <ipwnage> i've been looking through this to see if i can find anything its not for ipods but its same error on 10.10

[23:17] <carbonate> Elirips: Is it possible to put a bootloader on a usb drive and point it at a iso to boot from on that same usb drive?
[23:18] <xorwhy1> Is there any way to set txpower to a value greater than the manufacture specified maximum?
[23:18] <Elirips> carbonate, no idea.
[23:18] <magpiie> cant you burn a bootable iso image to a usb? done that before on windows
[23:18] <sidewalk> im using a md raid, how do i check the sanity of the disks?
[23:19] <ipwnage> is there a way i can manually mount it?
[23:19] <xorwhy1> ipwnage: Mount what?
[23:19] <overclucker> MajorAstr: 512 should be enough for ubuntu. have you tested it yet?
[23:19] <Connor_B> ipwnage: did you get all of the  libimobiledevice  installed
[23:19] <ipwnage> ipod touch
[23:19] <sidewalk> when i do cat /proc/mdstat i get U_ on md0
[23:19] <andrewjames> when i use IFS=$'\n' to separate some lines it separates at character 'n'.  in my old system with bash, this just worked
[23:19] <root_> Like WinFlash but gfor linux
[23:19] <root_> anyone knows a good GUI to flash a rom?
[23:20] <ipwnage> all except the libimobiledevice0 one
[23:20] <Connor_B> ipwnage: i dont think you can manually mount it :(
[23:20] <xorwhy1> ipwnage: I don't have any experience with those, but I'd image you could mount it using whatever dev ID the system attributes to it
[23:20] <SpecialBats> What's the command to attach a server in Xchat? LoL
[23:21] <xorwhy1> using mount /dev/foo /adiryoumade

[23:25] <bastidrazor> battlehands: it doesn't have to be. you can use gedit to make the changes

[23:29] <bastidrazor> battlehands: if you're using a terminal based editor yes. if you're opening gedit from a terminal you would use gksudo as well.

[23:50] <Jancsy> Hey bazhang. I'd like to disable the notifications when a user joins/quits in my pidgin Yahoo account.
[23:50] <ipwnage> i cant install all of them because installing one removes the other one
[23:51] <Jancsy> plus message notifications in the right upper side of the screen.
[23:51] <ZenGuy311> is there a way to get ssh upnp or nat traversal?
[23:51] <Jancsy> is that possible?
[23:51] <Connor_B> ipwnage: ok
[23:51] <ipwnage> which one do i need to install?
[23:51] <bazhang> Jancsy, remove the plugin?
[23:51] <schnuffle> Jancsy: activate the IRC plugins, there is one that lets you disable it for big channels
[23:51] <Jancsy> just the notification part.
[23:51] <Jancsy> well, i'm using pidgin for yahoo only.
[23:51] <Jancsy> not irc.
[23:52] <Aikar> i screwed up and tried to use gnome-shell to try it out... and now when i login i dont get a shell, only get my pidgin window lol. how can i reset my window manager back to metacity? cant even figure out how to get a term, had to control+Alt+F1 to get to this shell
[23:52] <Star_Light> shnuffle i joined in #ubuntu-otttopic but it hasnt anyone here :/ only me
[23:52] <Jancsy> and when someone writes me a message, there's an annoying popup. i'd like to remove that.
[23:52] <schnuffle> Jancsy: No idea for Yahoo IM
[23:53] <bazhang> Star_Light, its #ubuntu-offtopic  there are many people there

[23:55] <evdvelde> histo: because cdrecord is in no official repo+
[23:55] <schnuffle> jlonganecker: the niddle button should paste and highlighted text in vim should be in the CLipboard
