[00:02] <jepeux> how long should gcc44 take to build?
[00:02] <histo> esing123: what is your problem with samba specifically?
[00:03] <Prinler^Lin> Can i delete the stuff in /var/cache/apt ???
[00:03] <esing123> how do I know which workgroup I have https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html
[00:03] <iiicyg> spikey_, try apt-install
[00:03] <bastidrazor> Prinler^Lin: yes with sudo apt-get clean
[00:03] <flohuels> hi all
[00:03] <wechat> Prinler^Lin: sudo apt-get clean
[00:03] <flohuels> have 1 question about screen and screenrc...
[00:03] <jepeux> flohuels: just ask.. ;)
[00:03] <flohuels> how do i specify a shell with options e.g. "bash --rcfile.."
[00:04] <histo> esing123: on the samba server or on windows computers?
[00:04] <Prinler^Lin> ok ty
[00:04] <giiker> by the way anybody using chromiun with GPU acceleration?
[00:04] <flohuels> already asked in #LFD but they couldn't help me...
[00:04] <histo> giiker: I have version 10 installed
[00:04] <semitones> What is the difference in xset dpms between the modes "standby," "suspend," and "off"?
[00:04] <semitones> i can't find em on the googles
[00:05] <esing123> histo let me exaplin what I want to do
[00:05] <exutux> flohuels: --rcfile file Execute commands from file instead of the system wide initialization file /etc/bash.bashrc and the  standard personal initialization file ~/.bashrc if the shell is interactive (see INVOCATION below).
[00:05] <headset> so ubuntu 10.10 cant play movies
[00:05] <maf> does anyone know how to set default color to 32 bit in ubuntu ?
[00:05] <esing123> histo I want to down and upload files to my linux computer from my windows 7
[00:05] <headset> getting lines in screen
[00:06] <giiker> histo: is acceleration worth only for video? o does the gpu really help run it faster?
[00:06] <esing123> histo I have added this into smb.conf so far : http://pastebin.com/h4V8Wmww
[00:06] <histo> esing123: well you have several options. You could create a samba share on the ubuntu computer and windows 7 would be able to browse to it with proper settings.
[00:06] <wechat> esing123: what is the connection type beetween two machines?
[00:06] <histo> giiker: i don't see any gpu settings
[00:07] <histo> giiker: but i'd ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:07] <esing123> wechat wlan ofc
[00:07] <semitones> where do I put my bash script so that it's in the $path?
[00:07] <esing123> wechat and ethernet
[00:07] <giiker> ok, thanx!
[00:07] <esing123> histo what is the other option than ?
[00:07] <esing123> *then
[00:07] <flohuels> @exutux: bash doesn't use one of the standard rc files, it's not a problem in ubuntu but in one other linux system...
[00:07] <bastidrazor> semitones: you can add it like the example in ~/.profile
[00:07] <histo> esing123: okay does the windows computer see the ubuntu computer in the Network sectioin?
[00:07] <wechat> semitones: echo $PATH
[00:07] <maf> anyone ?
[00:07] <esing123> histo no unfornatutly not
[00:08] <histo> esing123: try clicking on start and going to run and type //ipofubuntucomputer
[00:08] <exutux> flohuels: so this is worng channel
[00:08] <bastidrazor> semitones: err..i misread.. you can have a ~/bin that will be included in your PATH so that you can add your scripts there.
[00:08] <histo> esing123: substituting ip with the actual ip ofcourse
[00:08] <exutux> wrong*
[00:08] <esing123> histo does it matter if I use lubuntu for the //opfubuntucomputer command?
[00:08] <semitones> bastidrazor, ok. too bad there isn't one automatically made for you
[00:08] <esing123> ihsto ah okay
[00:08] <flohuels> hmm ok sorry for that i thought there would be many people with general screen/bash knowledge
[00:08] <histo> esing123: no the actuall internal ip address
[00:09] <flohuels> :-) but thanks
[00:09] <bastidrazor> semitones: just create it mkdir ~/bin then add files to it. ~/.profile will automatically add it for you
[00:09] <esing123> k
[00:09] <semitones> oh sweet! thanks
[00:09] <exutux> flohuels: but bash is bash in all linux systems.... and --rcfile works too
[00:09] <histo> esing123: you could also open a cmd prompt in windows from the run dialog and try to ping the ip of the lubuntu computer
[00:09] <semitones> bastidrazor, what extension should a bash script use?
[00:09] <maf> if you can read this line press .
[00:09] <histo> semitones: doesn't need one
[00:09] <maf> I get the feeling my posts aren't even posting.
[00:09] <histo> semitones: linux doesn't use extensions
[00:09] <semitones> sweet
[00:09] <bastidrazor> semitones: extensions are pointles in linux. as long as its executable
[00:09] <histo> maf: we can see you
[00:10] <maf> oh, phew. ok
[00:10] <wechat> semitones: *.sh or not any . But make it chmod +x
[00:10] <flohuels> exutux: yeah, and I will have to use --rcfile option for bash in screenrc...
[00:10] <bastidrazor> semitones: after you've added it, either start a new terminal session or type source ~/.profile
[00:10] <semitones> ok i'll leave it as no extension
[00:10] <semitones> "source ~/.profile" ?
[00:11] <esing123> no it does not work histo
[00:11] <bastidrazor> semitones: that will rerun .profile so that ~/bin is included in your PATH.
[00:11] <esing123> /192.168.0.100
[00:11] <flohuels> exutux: i also could write a script or alias that includes that option but i thought there must be the possibility to do that in screenrc itself...
[00:11] <esing123> /192.168.0.100:139 does not work either
[00:11] <histo> esing123: forget about the port its //192.168.0.100
[00:12] <histo> esing123: if that is the ip of the lubuntu machine
[00:12] <cchildress> hmm...by manually extracting the firmware i seem to have it going...for now
[00:12] <esing123> yes in my router it says lubunts ip is 100
[00:12] <esing123> and in ifconfig too
[00:12] <maf> so, I'm running XP and installed Ubuntu via VirtualBox... So I could run Ubuntu inside of VB - and then install VB on ubuntu and install another instance of XP and run IT from ubuntu ?
[00:12] <ccvvcc> I got a file alot of lines formatted like this a,b how can i change positions? so it will be b,a?
[00:12] <maf> I wonder how many layers you could go
[00:12] <histo> esing123: okay then //192.168.0.100 two /  not one
[00:12] <maf> XP inside of ubuntu inside of XP inside of ubuntu etc.
[00:12] <wechat> esing123: maybe you need some GUI prorgram to configure share like in GNOME
[00:12] <Alexander> Can somebody help me? I just installed flash player with ubuntu on my lappy and youtube videos will not play
[00:13] <histo> esing123: or it's \\192.168.0.100 I can never remember what windows uses

[00:14] <Alexander> I already have flash. :X
[00:14] <bastidrazor> ccvvcc: if you were using vim you could :s/a,b/b,a/g
[00:14] <maf> seems 800x600 is largest it allows.
[00:14] <wechat> ccvvcc: search some commands working with columns
[00:14] <histo> maf: install guest additions
[00:14] <esing123> histo no it doesnt work either
[00:14] <maf> is that from ubuntu ?
[00:14] <maf> ok -I'll look into that. thanks
[00:14] <esing123> but I can ping 192.168.0.100 tho
[00:14] <maf> oh, I see
[00:14] <maf> in VB
[00:14] <ccvvcc> bastidrazor, but not all the file is a,b
[00:14] <histo> esing123: do you get an error when you try what I told you. doens't help me when you say it doesn't work.
[00:14] <SpooK^laptop> should work

[00:15] <histo> wechat: he can't even see the machine in network browsing doesn't matter if the shares are working at this point.
[00:16] <histo> esing123: can you pastebin your full smb.conf please
[00:16] <esing123> ok
[00:16] <histo> esing123: any firewall ont he windows 7 box?
[00:16] <bastidrazor> ccvvcc: then run another with the matching argument
[00:16] <semitones> Alexander, "adobe flash plugin"?
[00:16] <wechat> histo: ok, install Look@LAN, Zenmap and scan your network from win*
[00:16] <Alexander> mhm
[00:16] <exutux> histo: but shared folder is in windows or in Ubuntu?
[00:17] <histo> esing123: i've seen issues with filesharing and some firewalls like norton etc...
[00:17] <semitones> Alexander, what version of ubuntu? 32 bit, 64 bit?
[00:17] <histo> exutux: he's trying to get samba going so  windows 7 box can see a share
[00:17] <wechat> Alexander: go get.adobe.com/**** and download *.deb -- it always works  for me
[00:17] <Alexander> 64 bit
[00:17] <semitones> 10.10?
[00:17] <Alexander> the latest version
[00:17] <Alexander> I think so.
[00:17] <exutux> histo: windows use \\ipaddr
[00:18] <histo> exutux: ahh
[00:18] <histo> esing123: \\192.168.0.100  would be the right slash not /
[00:18] <semitones> hmm it should be working then -- might want to visit this page to see if it's just youtube messing up http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[00:18] <stiltzkin> Greetings...hoping someone can help me with a frustrating display issue
[00:18] <semitones> Alexander, that should tell you what version of flash you have installed
[00:19] <randomuser> just popped in - if the guy working on samba is still trying to figure it out, i have some tips
[00:19] <wechat> Alexander: dpkg -l | grep flash
[00:19] <histo> semitones: 10.2 has issues right now
[00:19] <stiltzkin> I have a Dell panel, an E153FPF I believe
[00:19] <histo> Alexander: there is a 64bit version of flash prerelease availible from adobe fyi
[00:19] <stiltzkin> There is a bug out for my issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/514997
[00:19] <exutux> histo: and on Ubuntu him must create sambauser by smbpasswd
[00:19] <semitones> .2?
[00:19] <stiltzkin> ubottu, yeah I see that
[00:20] <histo> exutux: not to browse to a computer only when trying to access the shares
[00:20] <exutux> histo: oh sure
[00:20] <histo> exutux: he can't even get the first part working so he hasn't made it that far.
[00:20] <semitones> histo, my version is 10.2, on 64 bit and it seems to be working. what is the bug?
[00:20] <SpooK^laptop> ubottu, allright divide 2 with 0
[00:20] <Alexander> histo where can i get it?
[00:20] <exutux> histo: oh ok, step by step setup :p
[00:21] <stiltzkin> OK, so basically I can't get X to start at all with this monitor. I think it's a refresh rate problem. I've tried setting it myself manually in xorg.conf but to no avail
[00:21] <stiltzkin> Anyone have any ideas?
[00:21] <esing123> uhm
[00:21] <histo> Alexander: i'm trying to find you a link hold up they keep hiding it on adobe
[00:21] <Alexander> Lol, thanks.
[00:21] <esing123> histo it was a lot of work copying all infos from nano ^^ here you go : http://pastebin.com/r9Rfvqzd
[00:21] <poliumgh> hi
[00:21] <stiltzkin> I've been working at this on and off over the past 3 days and I can't make any headway with it
[00:22] <histo> Alexander: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html
[00:22] <Guest41402> i got 50gb for the root system, how much space it used by ubuntu maverick by default?
[00:22] <stiltzkin> I'm beginning to think Ubuntu just can't support my monitor
[00:22] <histo> !pastebinit > esing123
[00:22] <Alexander> so histo, how do i install that?
[00:22] <Alexander> And is it safe?
[00:22] <esing123> oh yes
[00:22] <esing123> !!!
[00:23] <esing123> \\IP works
[00:23] <esing123> :)
[00:23] <FloodBot3> esing123: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:23] <stiltzkin> Anyone here an expert with xorg.conf maybe?
[00:23] <wechat> Alexander: get.adobe.com/flashplayer
[00:23] <histo> Alexander: remove whatever flash you have now. and dowload that. Then you put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins for just your user or /lib/mozilla/plugins where ever the system wide folder is if you want it system wide
[00:23] <histo> Alexander: after extracting it ofcourse
[00:23] <Alexander> right
[00:23] <wechat> esing123: congratulations
[00:23] <Alexander> Thanks!
[00:23] <randomuser> esing123, lol, that was going to be my tip
[00:24] <Guest41402> is there anything like silverlight for linux?
[00:24] <wechat> Guest41402: moonlight
[00:24] <esing123> thx
[00:24] <Guest41402> i'll take a look, thx
[00:24] <esing123> histo but is my smb.conf correct th o?
[00:24] <histo> esing123: okay the network browsing is just a stupid problem with netbios naming. Or the workgroups are different.
[00:24] <histo> esing123: I would suggest putting your shares at the bottom of the file not at the top but it looks okay to me.
[00:24] <Samuel2> i got 50gb for the root system, how much space it used by ubuntu maverick by default?
[00:25] <wechat> Guest41402: Guest41402 : install it then click on video - accept the message - and it will download codecs - enjoy
[00:25] <stiltzkin> I'm gonna try one more refresh rate setting and if it doesn't work I'm installing a different OS, this is kinda nuts
[00:25] <esing123> oki
[00:25] <damian> Unfortunately moonlight doesn't work with netflix because of drm
[00:25] <esing123> i set chmod now to 755
[00:25] <Alexander> wait histo
[00:25] <esing123> i will test it
[00:25] <Alexander> I can't find my firefox folder.
[00:25] <wechat> Samuel2: my / is allways 10GB - really enogh
[00:25] <Samuel2> seems fine then
[00:26] <semitones> How come my script "screenoff" runs in terminal, but when I set a keyboard shortcut to run it, I get
[00:26] <Samuel2> thx wechat
[00:26] <histo> esing123: there is also this for creating samba users if you want user pass access http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/create-a-samba-user-on-ubuntu/ .  If you want guest access you ahve to edit your smb.conf accordingly and change security = user to security = share
[00:26] <wechat> Samuel2: absolutely fine, and my home is always 8 GB - ok
[00:26] <histo> stiltzkin: what's wrong?
[00:26] <semitones> "error while trying to run (screenoff) which is linked to the key <foo><bar><bob>
[00:26] <semitones> "
[00:26] <damian> As long as you keep all your big stuff on a separate partition 10GB is definitely enough
[00:26] <iiicyg> Hi
[00:26]  * rootpt is away: Estou ocupado
[00:26] <stiltzkin> histo, display isn't supported by Ubuntu I suppose. Not sure
[00:27] <Samuel2> now how can I get rid of the old kernal in grub?
[00:27] <histo> stiltzkin: nvm I see the problem.
[00:27] <randomuser> wechat, i don't believe you. You said 'always 10GB' then 'always 8GB' and i dont think either is enough
[00:27] <histo> stiltzkin: what type of video card?
[00:27] <iiicyg> Can you advise me extremely lightweight browser (not console)?
[00:28] <Samuel2> iiicyg, \ chromium
[00:28] <stiltzkin> histo, Radeon RV200 QW
[00:28] <histo> stiltzkin: did you see post #5 it has a solution
[00:28] <semitones> How come my script "screenoff" runs in terminal, but when I set a keyboard shortcut to run it, I get "error while trying to run (screenoff) which is linked to the key <foo><bar><bob>"
[00:28] <stiltzkin> histo, yes, the solution is only for the nvidia-xconfig though
[00:28] <wechat> randomuser: 10GB - /, 2GB - swap, 8GB - /home
[00:28] <itaylor57> i have 10.10 64bit and my flash works fine
[00:28] <stiltzkin> histo, I can't even get X to run at all. The monitor just says "Cannot display this video mode."
[00:29] <histo> stiltzkin: there is also the xrandr solution.
[00:29] <stiltzkin> histo, xrandr does nothing. Just prints "Can't open display."
[00:29] <Alexander> histo please help me?
[00:29] <headset> seen ubuntu dont like ati cards
[00:29] <Alexander> I can't find my firefox folder
[00:29] <Alexander> :X
[00:29] <histo> stiltzkin: most likely you are going to have to setup a custom xorg.conf to set the max display
[00:29] <semitones> i thought ubuntu didn't use xorg.conf no mores
[00:29] <stiltzkin> histo, already done that. Multiple times with various settings
[00:30] <aeon-ltd> headset: linux in general doesn't like ati cards, though its getting better
[00:30] <damian> I made the mistake of giving Ubuntu 40GB when after year (I upgraded over the internet to 10.10 from 10.04), I have only used 10.25GiB, I use a games partition for wine and storage for big downloads
[00:30] <stiltzkin> histo, including the ones on that bug page, straight from Dell specs
[00:30] <histo> Alexander: well for your user its in /home/Alexander/.mozilla/plugins the system wide one. I have to check on hold up
[00:30] <wechat> semitones: maybe `gnome-terminal <keyforcommand> script_name`
[00:30] <headset> is that why mplayer dont movies that well
[00:30] <semitones> wechat, cool will try
[00:30] <alecbenzer> I just got a fresh 10.10 install, intalled chrome (not chromium) and tried to go to youtube. I didn't get anything about the flash plugin not working but the video just won't load. (flash is also listed in about:plugins). anyone know what might be up?
[00:31] <histo> Alexander: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[00:31] <semitones> alecbenzer, tell us what version of flash you have http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[00:31] <histo> Alexander: you need to install flash
[00:31] <damian> I wish I could give Vista 20GB, but winsxs and several other folders fill up within a few hours of use
[00:31] <Alexander> where is /usr under?
[00:31] <Alexander> File system
[00:32] <histo> Alexander: yes
[00:32] <Alexander> Thanks
[00:32] <Alexander> Wait
[00:32] <esing123> hehe it even works entering my downloads folder :D
[00:32] <alecbenzer> semitones: 10,2,152,27
[00:32] <esing123> Thanks !!!!!!!
[00:32] <Alexander> What do you mean install flash?
[00:32] <histo> Alexander: extract the downloaded file tar -xvzf nameofflash.tgz   then cp the .so somehting like sudo cp thenameofthe.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins   then restart firefox
[00:33] <stiltzkin> Where can I check to see what refresh rate Ubuntu is trying to use for my monitor? I set the correct values in xorg.conf
[00:33] <histo> Alexander: or you cna just copy it in your /home/username/.mozilla/plugins folder without sudo but it won't be system wide.  I don't know if there are other users on this box etc...
[00:33] <alecbenzer> hm, actually hulu's player seems to be working
[00:33] <alecbenzer> maybe just a problem with youtube
[00:33] <esing123> Will samba be started every start automatically or do I have to add it to startup settings?
[00:33] <nimbiotics> Helllo evry1. I've got a  568Mb zip file and I need to split it into 25Mb files. When I try the command "zipsplit -n 25000 MyCompressedFile.zip" I get error message "zipsplit error: Interrupted (aborting)". Why? TIA!
[00:33] <histo> alecbenzer: if you are running 10.2 there are many bugs
[00:34] <semitones> alecbenzer, i think it might me -- try enabling html5 on youtube
[00:34] <Samuel2> is there some usefullnes for the mentest thing in the grub?
[00:34] <semitones> histo, what bugs?
[00:34] <Alexander> nope histo
[00:34] <histo> semitones: try opening two flash videos at once watch it crash
[00:34] <Alexander> just me
[00:34] <histo> Alexander: nope what?
[00:34] <Alexander> So which is the easiest way?
[00:34] <histo> Alexander: ohh
[00:34] <Alexander> I am the only user on my lappy
[00:34] <xj> how to uninstall my QQ
[00:35] <semitones> histo, sure that happens, but it shouldn't prevent them from opening any videos
[00:35] <histo> Alexander: then just put it in /home/username/.mozilla/plugins   remember .mozilla is a hidden directory in your /home/username so if you are looking at it with a GUI filemanager. You have to hit ctrl+h to show the hidden folders
[00:35] <histo> semitones: it derps up sometimes
[00:35] <Alexander> thanks histo!!
[00:35] <histo> semitones: also practly none of there videos or html5 or don't work
[00:35] <wechat> esing123: install chkconfig (it turns on the deamon like this: sudo chkconfig <deamon> on)
[00:35] <xj> hello , help~ how can i uninstall my QQ
[00:36] <semitones> Alexander, remember when you need to upgrade flash, uninstall this plugin before using software center
[00:36] <headset> only get mplayer in x11
[00:36] <AP> hi
[00:36] <exutux> esing123: it will start alone at the boot
[00:36] <itaylor57> histo: I juat ran 3 youtube vids and no crash
[00:36] <Alexander> wait what semitones?
[00:36] <esing123> exutux ah k
[00:36] <AP> whats going on
[00:36] <Alexander> histo there is no plugins folder just an extensions folder
[00:36] <histo> itaylor57: it will derp at some point
[00:37] <AP> wHAt isgoing oooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
[00:37] <exutux> esing123: you don't need install
[00:37] <esing123> How do I start teamviewer automatically on startup?
[00:37] <histo> Alexander: then put it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins   use sudo
[00:37] <rww> AP: Ubuntu technical support.
[00:37] <esing123> ok thx exutux :)
[00:37] <histo> esing123: at it to your session
[00:37] <histo> esing123: s/at/add
[00:37] <Alexander> so what command do i put in the terminal?
[00:37] <exutux> esing123: you don't need to install other things
[00:37] <xj> hello , help~ how can i uninstall my QQ?
[00:37] <AP> hi i am new not in your company
[00:37] <histo> Alexander: sudo cp nameoffile.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[00:37] <damian> memtest is probably the best way to test your memory, as for why its included in grub, convenience?
[00:38] <stephthegeek> so i plugged in a secondary monitor and enabled it, and after applying/closing changes, my taskbars have become unclickable and partially hidden
[00:38] <Alexander> .so?
[00:38] <esing123> histo s/at/add teamviewer ?
[00:38] <AP> yes
[00:38] <semitones> Alexander, if you manually install the pre-release plugin, you'll have to remove it before attempting the "normal" install through software center
[00:38] <semitones> Alexander, like if you wanted to get updates
[00:38] <AP> yes
[00:38] <stephthegeek> i can alt-tab to a terminal window though, so how would i open display settings from the command line?
[00:38] <exutux> xj: what about your QQ is?
[00:38] <Alexander> but semitones, the normal plugin is not working for me
[00:38] <stephthegeek> (or fix this some alternate way)
[00:38] <histo> esing123: add teamviwer to your session startup.  Look under system > preferences > session or startup applications can't remember what it's called uner the menu now.
[00:38] <Alexander> i mean it is but youtube is not working
[00:39] <histo> Alexander: you need to restart your browser after putting the .so in that folder
[00:39] <histo> Alexander: and check the about:plugins page
[00:39] <giiker> guys, I think Iḿ stickting to w3m, midori uses webkit and runs a little faster than firefox but less ram, links, lynx does not format webpages that well... love my new browser :-)
[00:39] <semitones> Alexander, i'm not saying not to do the manual install, i'm just telling you ahead of time how to update it in the future
[00:39] <xj> extutux , a software.
[00:40] <damian> nimbiotics, if you can't use zip's built in splitter you could always use split in conjunction with it
[00:40] <histo> giiker: links or links2 has graphics support fyi
[00:40] <esing123> histo yes I have the session manager in preferences but I cant add anything to it. there is a list with checkboxes no more
[00:40] <exutux> xj: software called QQ? i don't know it, but how you have installed it? from repos or??
[00:41] <wechat> exutux: it is some kind of icq - qq
[00:41] <headset> better use swap or ram ?
[00:41] <histo> esing123: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[00:41] <esing123> histo i run lubuntu 1010
[00:42] <wechat> esing123: make .xinit file?
[00:42] <giiker> histo: just read the man page about the -g option thanks, will try it now with g option
[00:42] <histo> esing123: ask in #lubuntu i'm not sure what "their way" is
[00:42] <aeon-ltd> headset: ram, its faster but you need both anyway
[00:42] <stephthegeek> hmm, ok i figured out how to disable the second monitor, except the problem still exists going back to just my laptop screen -- taskbars missing text labels and unclickable
[00:42] <esing123> oki
[00:42] <esing123> thx
[00:42] <headset> got it set to 0 ?
[00:42] <xj> exutux , i am new , can you tell me how to uninstall  a software ?
[00:42] <histo> xj: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[00:43] <alex__> why is x-windows xlib xorg or x anything sooooooooooooooooooooo bad?
[00:43] <alex__> gtk included
[00:43] <xj> i think it is just as other
[00:43] <bullgard4> dist-upgrade Ubuntu 10.04.1 to 10.10 only partially succeeded. '~$ sudo service gdm restart' obtains: "restart: Unknown instance:". What is the correct syntax?
[00:43] <alex__> it's like the x system is just one big steaming pile
[00:43] <histo> alex__: what areyou trying to do?
[00:43] <wechat> bullgard4: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[00:43] <MagicJ> If I connect to a remote machine using PLACES/NETWORK etc I can use what I need from the GUI - how do I see that remote machine once I am connected from the command line, etc?
[00:44] <bullgard4> wechat: I will follow your suggestion.
[00:44] <Guest75903> \list
[00:44] <alex__> histo, i'm trying to do the windows equivalent of taking a screenshot (IN MEMORY ONLY. no jpegs, pngs or whatevers to create), and then reading the colors of pixels
[00:44] <alex__> soudns sooo easy doesn't it?
[00:44] <exutux> esing123: you must edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and put your command there
[00:44] <wechat> bullgard4: sudo /etc/init.d/<service> restart
[00:44] <giiker> histo: i just run links -g website, and got error: nod isplay driver, haha forgot i'm sshing to a remote box :-)
[00:44] <alex__> and i got lost for 7 hours in this x crap and some other sdl crap that hasn't had dcoumentation updated since 2009
[00:44] <exutux> xj: you can use synaptic too
[00:44] <stephthegeek> ah, this link worked, in case anyone's following along at home... http://netgator.blogspot.com/2010/06/taskbar-missing-in-ubuntu-1004.html
[00:45] <histo> giiker: ahh yeah you need a worker frame buffer to do graphics with links2 unless you use X forwarding and launch it.  It may work that way with the -g option.
[00:45] <alex__> gtk is documented just as well as sdl.. piss poor
[00:45] <exutux> esing123: or in ~/.config/autostart
[00:45] <alex__> gtk gdk gtkmm whatever it is
[00:45] <alex__> it's a big huge mess.
[00:45] <esing123> perfect thx
[00:45] <xj> exutux , yes , synaptic is well
[00:45] <esing123> thx exutux I added it
[00:46] <giiker> histo: thanx again
[00:46] <esing123> I reboot now
[00:46] <esing123> and hpfully it works
[00:46] <alex__> linux is only good for wgetting apache servers and configuring nat and connecting a shitty website to the internet.
[00:46] <xj> extux ,thanks
[00:46] <alex__> not for anything else you might do on a regular desktop
[00:46] <exutux> not at all
[00:46] <histo> !language | alex__
[00:46] <bullgard4> wechat: '~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' did not produce any output. (The command was accepted.)
[00:46] <alex__> anything video, forget it
[00:46] <histo> alex__: what you are trying to do is not something that is normally done. If you have a question about ubuntu please feel free to ask.
[00:47] <alex__> it's like linux is for blind people only
[00:47] <histo> !ot | alex__
[00:47] <alex__> expected as much. "not supported"
[00:47] <exutux> it's only your wrong opinion
[00:47] <wechat> bullgard4: restarting gdm will kill your graphics - it's like ctrl+alt+del
[00:47] <alex__> o well back to windows
[00:47] <exutux> \o/
[00:47] <wechat> alex__: Niasilil?
[00:48] <alex__> what?
[00:48] <wechat> alex__: fixed: "into win*"
[00:48] <nimbiotics> damian, How do u do that, and will I be able to unzip in windows?
[00:48] <bullgard4> wechat: What should I substitute for <service> in the command: 'sudo /etc/init.d/<service> restart'?
[00:48] <stiltzkin> I plugged in a Compaq monitor with the same resolution - works fine. So it's just that particular Dell monitor that doesn't work? Hope someone can help me understand this.
[00:48] <h00k> bullgard4: sudo [servicenamehere] restart, for instance: sudo service ssh restart
[00:48] <wechat> bullgard4: sorry, i can't remember is a gdm a service
[00:49] <h00k> wechat, bullgard4: yes, gdm is a service
[00:49] <randomuser> alex__, don't you have a print screen button?
[00:49] <wechat> h00k: :)
[00:49] <histo> stiltzkin: probably an issue with the refresh rate or hz
[00:49] <alex__> randomuser, i'm trying to apply the concepts of artificial intelligence to a game.
[00:49] <giiker> histo: had to enable graphics when compiling, aaahhhhhhh!
[00:49] <alex__> which invovles screen scraping.
[00:49] <stiltzkin> histo, but they both seem to use the same refresh rate - 60Hz
[00:49] <alex__> not print screen and me manually doing things
[00:49] <wechat> bullgard4: the *best* way to restart gdm is `kill gdm` ^)
[00:49] <h00k> wechat, bullgard4: sudo service gdm restart <- this works very nicely
[00:50] <alex__> but yea.. the whole x windows system is completely broken
[00:50] <alex__> there has even been a book written about how broken it is
[00:50] <histo> !troll > alex__
[00:50] <randomuser> alex__, so you have one entity that needs to react to another, and it's "input" comes from color recognition and screen scraping?
[00:50] <histo> stiltzkin: odd
[00:50] <alex__> yes randomuser
[00:50] <wechat> hook: ok, :) i'm usually restart apache and openvpn not gdm :)
[00:50] <stiltzkin> histo, I'd much rather use the Dell panel if possible - the Compaq is a hulking beast
[00:51] <alex__> specifically, i'm doing a neural network ocr thing.
[00:51] <bullgard4> h00k: It does not work nicely. It obtains with me: "restart: Unknown instance:".
[00:51] <wechat> alex__: "Niasilil" == give up
[00:51] <alex__> it's easy in windows..  getdesktopwindow(), get the device context, getpixel() job done.
[00:51] <randomuser> alex__, is there somethigng that led you to believe this is sound methodology for programming a game?
[00:51] <alex__> randomuser
[00:51] <wechat> bullgard4: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm --help
[00:51] <alex__> i'm not programming a game, please read
[00:51] <histo> stiltzkin: there may be some X experts that can get you going around here. But i'd bet you'll find the same issue with any distro that is running bullet proof X and that monitor
 randomuser, i'm trying to apply the concepts of artificial intelligence to a game.
[00:52] <wechat> alex__: Delphi?
[00:52] <alex__> yes. Never hear of deep blue? but this is OCR instead
[00:52] <alex__> i'm not programming a game.
[00:52] <stiltzkin> histo, indeed, this is not an ubuntu-specific problem. I tried Arch and I have Lenny running at the moment. Same issue
[00:52] <alex__> i'm programming soemthing that recognizes objects on the screen
[00:52] <syrinx_> I would think the scope of this argument is beyond this channel alex__
[00:52] <alex__> based on images.
[00:52] <stiltzkin> histo, it just baffles me that this one monitor could be completely misconfigured every time
[00:52] <alex__> and i can't getpixel because xwindows is broken
[00:52] <histo> stiltzkin: yeah it's the way Xorg is detecting the display modes. if you specify a working mode in your xorg.conf you should be fine
[00:52] <wechat> alex__: It is *very* easy in windows: firfox, far, soffice ^)^)^)^)^
[00:53] <histo> !ot > alex__
[00:53] <stiltzkin> histo, how would I go about doing that? All I have in there now is a "Monitor" section that specifies the HorizSync and VertRefresh rates
[00:53] <randomuser> alex__, i would have to agree with syrinx_ : if you need help with X, you should talk to X, not the people that package it for you
[00:53] <alex__> xwindows is very on topic
[00:53] <bullgard4> wechat: This obtains: "The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, but --help is not supported for Upstart jobs."
[00:54] <syrinx_> xwindows is idependent of ubuntu, thus not fit for this channel
[00:54] <alex__> whatever.
[00:54] <histo> alex__: your problem has nothing to do with ubuntu. and you are just continously whinning about X windows nto asking questions
[00:54] <wechat> bullgard4: sooooooo, only restart X?
[00:54] <alex__> gnome is built on x windows right?
[00:54] <exutux> bullgard4: sudo service gdm restart
[00:54] <randomuser> alex__, i don't want to be discouraging, we need game developers
[00:54] <nsd_> Anyone know how to make Ubuntu accept bad ram addresses (as indicated by memtest)?
[00:54] <nsd_> That is, ignore those addresses
[00:54] <histo> stiltzkin: I'd check that bug report you had did that guy have working modes posted?  I'm sure there is working xorg.conf somewhere on line.
[00:55] <histo> alex__: i would try in #linuxhelp or #xorg
[00:55] <alex__> for the last time, i'm not developing a game :/ i'm developing something to play one.  I would never develop a game in any flavor of linux. there's just no drivers for video cards that work.
[00:55] <randomuser> alex__, you should realize that one can't simply find a one-to-one conversion for every method used in windows and expect it to work. You need to learn your tools
[00:55] <exutux> bullgard4: or better is sudo service gdm stop && sudo service gdm start
[00:55] <llua> could someone help me with this mpc volume + problem? http://pastebin.com/R1Ugqyc8
[00:55] <stiltzkin> histo, no, he didn't post his .conf file, just a list of setting specified by Dell, which I tried my best to implement into a .conf file. I've tried sample configurations but can't find anything that works
[00:56] <giiker> anyone using irssi here? how do I go to my terminal from inside irssi?
[00:56] <wechat> alex__: while you're a gaming people are building the internrt
[00:56] <histo> !attitude | alex__
[00:56] <bullgard4> exutux: As I mentioned earlier, this fails.
[00:56] <syrinx_> giiker: /exit
[00:56] <histo> stiltzkin: what is the model of monitor again?
[00:56] <exutux> bullgard4: so but do you have gdm? or kdm?? or other?
[00:56] <giiker> syrinx_: that will logme out, right?
[00:56] <syrinx_> giiker: yes
[00:56] <stiltzkin> histo, I believe it is a Dell E153FPF, but I can't find a model number on it anywhere
[00:57] <stiltzkin> histo, that's only from googling the serial number
[00:57] <giiker> syrinx_: don't want to logout of irssi
[00:57] <datakid> morning. yesterday afternoon I logged into a clients server, used /usr/bin/at to schedule a 5am reboot then logged out. The reboot didn't happen.
[00:57] <wechat> exutux: dpkg-reconfigure says he only has gdm
[00:57] <syrinx_> giiker: open a new terminal?
[00:57] <tsimpson> giiker: then you need to use another terminal, or screen
[00:57] <gfs> goodmorning,all
[00:57] <EvilPhoenix> how can i remove a package that has a failed prerm and postinst script?
[00:57] <bullgard4> exutux: In the past (Ubuntu 10.04-1) I had gdm.
[00:57] <histo> giiker: you could do something likie /exec commandname     or use screen
[00:57] <datakid> What have I done wrong? Should the at commend have been run in screen?
[00:57] <alex__> well. i'm perfectly fine with the answer "you can't do that in ubuntu because it's broken".  Now I can stop spinning my wheels in the mud.
[00:57] <syrinx_> alex__: you probably CAN do that, you just don't know how
[00:58] <stiltzkin> Why is everyone being trolled so hard by this alex guy?
[00:58] <syrinx_> and i've told you this is the wrong place to try to find out how
[00:58] <exutux> bullgard4: pidof gdm
[00:58] <nsd_> alex__: what are you trying to find out?
[00:58] <h00k> alex__: perhaps you can check the forums, but if this isn't an Ubuntu specific issue, you're better to ask in ##linux or elsewhere
[00:58] <InsaneModz> can anyone help me connect to a lan network? i seem to be having some trouble?
[00:58] <alex__> it is very distribution dependent.. GTK c++ programming isn't something that's every distro workable.
[00:58] <giiker> tsimpson: funny thing is I'm running my irssi inside screen and I logged in into a remote shell using ssh, ahha, complicated, I know, I know I can just dettach, but I thought there was another way instead of pressing Ctrl -a -d
[00:58] <wechat> alex__: learn to use gOOgle
[00:59] <histo> giiker: i use irssi inside of screen over an ssh connection so I can C-a c and create a new terminal etc....
[00:59] <bullgard4> exutux: '~pidof gdm' does not produce any output.
[00:59] <exutux> bullgard4: uhm ps ax | grep gdm
[00:59] <wechat> bullgard4: ps aux | grep gdm
[00:59] <exutux> first!
[00:59] <histo> giiker: here ssh > box  then screen irssi    then inside screen you can have as many windows as you want. C-a c for a new one
[00:59] <exutux> i think that it was gdm-binary
[00:59] <stiltzkin> histo, nevermind, found the model number in teensy font on the bottom side, it is indeed an E153FPF
[01:00] <giiker> histo: I'm connected to this channel just like you, so the only way to get out of irssi without login out is dettaching?
[01:00] <exutux> giiker: yes
[01:00] <alex__> wechat i've been googling for 8 hours.  Most things say:  Xwindows broken. Xorg broken and no new releases.  Use SDL (no documentation update since 2009).  Use some GDk, gtk, gtkmm gtwhatever. use xlib. install xorg-dev.  install xlib-dev. install some other stuff. it's a big mess.
[01:00] <tsimpson> giiker: no, just open another window, you don't need to detach from screen to do that
[01:00] <histo> giiker: no opena  new window in screen
[01:00] <wechat> alex__: So?
[01:01] <giiker> histo: you are right, forgot one can create other screens, with C-a c, thanx one again...
[01:01] <histo> giiker: ctrl+a  then hit c to create a new window will put you at a terminal.
[01:01] <histo> giiker: ctrl+a + backspace to go back to the previous screen etc...
[01:01] <bullgard4> wechat: '~$ ps aux | grep gdm; 25841 0.0 0.0 5112  764 tty1    S+  01:59   0:00 grep gdm'. I infer that gdm is not installed.
[01:01] <wechat> alex__: not only googling but REading bro
[01:01] <giiker> histo: let try it...
[01:02] <wechat> bullgard4: ps aux | grep xdm
[01:02] <alex__> most of what i read doesn't help.. would u like the 20 or so links that end with a question?
[01:02] <wechat> bullgard4: lxdm?
[01:02] <exutux> bullgard4: why tty1??
[01:02] <alex__> they are actually ubuntu forum links
[01:02] <histo> giiker: or ctrl+a+"  to get a window list then you can ctrl+a+# to go to a specific window
[01:02] <wechat> bullgard4: fedora?
[01:02] <giiker> histo: awesomeeeeee, it worked...
[01:02] <alex__> but yes, i know this is not possible in c++.. i have to use some python junk to do this
[01:02] <exutux> bullgard4: are you on tty console?
[01:02] <alex__> even though i want maximum performance
[01:03] <wechat> bullgard4: Why are you hunting on gdm? :)
[01:03] <bullgard4> wechat: I am Using Ubuntu 10.10 but it is not fully configured yet.
[01:03] <syrinx_> your still trolling?
[01:03] <histo> giiker: that's the whole point of screen. you can also split windows horizontally so irssi uptop and terminal below or vertically if you have hte vertical patch. (ubuntu default).
[01:03] <bl4ckcomb> when installing ubby from the live cd, after partitioning the disks and clicking install, is it normal that the wait cursor is turning around for like 10 minutes without any new window popping up?
[01:03] <giiker> ctrl+a+" did not work,
[01:03] <wechat> bullgard4: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a ?
[01:03] <rww> alex__: As the rather noticible lack of help you're getting from #ubuntu is showing, this channel really isn't suited to the level of support you need. You might want to look elsewhere rather than continuing to butt heads with people :\
[01:03] <alex__> 1% desktop adoption rate. good job linux.
[01:03] <histo> giiker: remember you have to shift ' to get a "
[01:03] <bullgard4> exutux: I am on  virtual console number 1 at present.
[01:03] <rww> that works too.
[01:04] <giiker> histo: split horizontally, how?
[01:04] <wechat> bl4ckcomb: `dmesg | tail -20` what says?
[01:04] <giiker> histo: yeah forgot to Shift
[01:04] <histo> giiker: ctrl+a+s  then ctrl+a+TAB to switch between them i believe
[01:04] <exutux> bullgard4: and sudo service gdm start   doesn't works too?
[01:05] <histo> giiker: after switching to the lower screen then you have to ctrl+a+backspace or open a new screen in it with c
[01:05] <bl4ckcomb> wechat, VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr
[01:05] <wechat> bullgard4: you havo n0 X?
[01:05] <bl4ckcomb> *sr0
[01:05] <bl4ckcomb> wechat, and then: eth1: no IPv6 routers present
[01:05] <wechat> bl4ckcomb: ipv6 it's ok
[01:05] <wechat> bl4ckcomb: have no X?
[01:06] <bullgard4> exutux, wechat I have started '~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a'. This will take a while to finish.
[01:06] <bl4ckcomb> wechat, Xes in the dmesg log? no (or did you mean X server?)
[01:06] <exutux> bullgard4: so do it

[01:17] <chibihogoshino> histo: how about with raid ?
[01:17] <LUcase> Winehq, but also synaptic is going good.
[01:17] <NotTeddy> StepNjump: they are maintaed by the same guy, just the ubuntu repo is older
[01:18] <francesco_> ya get the newer one from winehq
[01:18] <histo> chibihogoshino: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server and network installations

[01:22] <exutux> alternate doesn't install a minimal Ubuntu...but it is a full installation

[02:09] <Chipper351> I made another user but it does not see the Ubuntu Live User
[02:09] <rww> pbearie: No. apt-get update checks the update server for an updated list of packages. yum update downloads and installs available updates on RedHat-based systems.
[02:09] <Shudder> freezway: lol ok
[02:10] <esing123> Well I want to start teamviewer as administrator on startup. Adding @sudo teamviewer does not work. only @teamviewer works but without admin

[02:10] <rww> pbearie: checking the update server does not involve downloading or installing available updates themselves.

[02:11] <kothaguy_ubuntu> hi friends,i want to download natty alpha3 image with the help of zsync, url is:http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/natty/alpha-3/ i am unable to download it,can anybody help me what command should i use in the terminal to download it,as using zsync is first time for me
[02:11] <rww> pbearie: as an analogy, apt-get update is "Waiter, fetch me an up-to-date menu!", apt-get upgrade is ordering some stuff off the menu and eating it, and yum upgrade is probably all of the above, I dunno, I don't use RedHat.
[02:11] <rww> kothaguy_ubuntu: Natty support and discussion in #ubuntu+1, please
[02:11] <pbearie> rww: then how do you download and install. would that be "apt-get upgrade"?
[02:11] <rww> pbearie: correct
[02:11] <Shudder> pbearie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:12] <kothaguy_ubuntu> rww, :the issue is with zsync,i dont knw how to use it
[02:12] <resno> yea, yum upgrade does it all in one fail swoop
[02:12] <rww> kothaguy_ubuntu: just run "zsync some_url_here" in the terminal.

[02:12] <bl4ckcomb> I'm trying to set up a mirror raid with an array of 2 identical disks: one with data on it and an empty one. Using disk utility only allows me to create an array of empty disks. is there another way to do this?
[02:13] <rww> kothaguy_ubuntu: though "How do I download Natty?" also counts as #ubuntu+1 topic, really ;P
[02:13] <Shudder> kothaguy_ubuntu: also I believe that isn't the url
[02:13] <Shudder> kothaguy_ubuntu: that's just the page
[02:13] <pbearie> rww: oh..so yum update includes both the "update" and "upgrade"?
[02:13] <skullboy> ok so were is the grub.lst for ubuntu
[02:13] <Shudder> kothaguy_ubuntu: you gotta pick one of the links on it I think
[02:13] <greg__> anybody handy with ice1712 sound card issues?
[02:13] <rww> pbearie: Google appears to think so. I'd recommend asking the support channel for a distribution that uses yum ;)
[02:13] <econdudeawesome> Hey all. I'm curious of opinions/preferences people have here for tools compatible with Ubuntu for analyzing large datasets
[02:14] <econdudeawesome> (open source, of course! :-) )
[02:14] <Shudder> kothaguy_ubuntu: e.g. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/natty/alpha-3/natty-desktop-i386.iso
[02:15] <econdudeawesome> Have I netsplit? I'm not getting any input
[02:16] <tonnez> im running ubuntu karmic, how can i install a package from the lucid repo? it is just something simple, tinyproxy
[02:16] <histo> econdudeawesome: what kind of dataset?
[02:16] <histo> econdudeawesome: and more importantly what kind of analysis?
[02:16] <greg__> ubuntu 10.10 seeing my sound card....but no sound.  using m-audio delta 1010 (ice1712)
[02:16] <kothaguy_ubuntu> Shudder, :Thank you,its working now,some one in this chat only said me about zsync,is it really worthone,i am in aplace where the net speed is too slow,by using this,how much it may take time to download the image ,speed will be max upto 15 kbps
[02:17] <econdudeawesome> histo: would you like a link? I'm not sure exactly how to answer that. I am eventually going to use the data for econometric analysis. But at this point I want to see the data (im exporting it to csv, but way to large for excel and probably gnumeric/openofficecalc to open)
[02:17] <econdudeawesome> histo: http://www.prosper.com/tools/DataExport.aspx
[02:18] <fastbear> anyone knows proxy software to bypass the http proxy and firewall?
[02:19] <Shudder> kothaguy_ubuntu: I have never used zsync
[02:19] <Shudder> kothaguy_ubuntu: I typically used wget or just clicked on the link :P

[02:19] <greeniekin> I've been pulling my hair out trying to get my tv tunner to work on ubuntu. though it seems no simple tutorials exist
[02:19] <Shudder> kothaguy_ubuntu: I don't know if it necessary makes a difference... maybe it just works it easier to put in the background?
[02:19] <starlock> something better than xchat?
[02:19] <econdudeawesome> starlock: whats your question? I use irssi (a command line utility) and prefer it to xchat.
[02:20] <rww> Shudder: zsync downloads less data than wget if you point it at a file that you already have that's at least partially the same as the one you're downloading. Otherwise, they're pretty much the same.
[02:20] <kothaguy_ubuntu> sudder :Thanks for the info
[02:20] <histo> econdudeawesome: google desktop has some nice searching features etc...
[02:20] <GaryD> starlock: i use pidgin for im and irc.
[02:20] <tonnez> im running ubuntu karmic, how can i install a package from the lucid repo? it is just something simple, tinyproxy
[02:20] <starlock> econdudeawesome: irssi is good but i use it on remote boxes only, need something with GUI, right now im on smuxi, switched to it from xchat
[02:21] <rww> tonnez: Mixing packages from different versions of Ubuntu is not supported by this channel.
[02:21] <econdudeawesome> starlock: ah. I am out of ammo then. My irssi nade was the best I had. Best of luck :-)
[02:21] <xangua> tonnez: to install a package from lucid, upgrade to lucid
[02:21] <tonnez> how can i just upgrade to lucid?
[02:21] <Shudder> rww: well whatdoyouknow
[02:21] <Shudder> rww: learn something knew everyday
[02:21] <greeniekin> it's absolutly driving me nuts the lack of a simple step by step instructions
[02:21] <xangua> !upgrade | tonnez
[02:22] <econdudeawesome> histo: Google desktop can parse?
[02:22] <histo> econdudeawesome: disregard the google desktop. Not sure of a solution for you.
[02:22] <econdudeawesome> histo: all good :-D
[02:22] <histo> starlock: any reason you need a gui?
[02:22] <Shudder> irssi may work
[02:23] <histo> econdudeawesome: sounds like you may need statistical software or scientific software
[02:23] <Shudder> no gui though

[02:24] <lathan_devers> sponzor, virtualbox maybe?
[02:24] <histo> econdudeawesome: ahh
[02:24] <starlock> bl4ckcomb: you cant just introduce another drive then RAID it and expect the RAID to copy over, it only happens AFTER the intial RAID volumes have been formatted and marked as a set
[02:24] <esing123> hey
[02:24] <econdudeawesome> histo: I try hard to use only open source software
[02:24] <histo> econdudeawesome: yeah check out statistical software or scientific stuff.
[02:25] <esing123> something what I have setup with samba now makes my lubuntu system start very long
[02:25] <bl4ckcomb> thx histo, I'll check it out
[02:25] <econdudeawesome> histo: I'll give gretl a shot. I just worry about running out of memory with soemthing so large
[02:25] <histo> econdudeawesome: r-project.org looks promissing from that link
[02:25] <esing123> it searches 30 seconds something with DHCP and then boots lubuntuu
[02:25] <econdudeawesome> histo: I've used R, again a memory issue
[02:25] <histo> econdudeawesome: that's what computers are for. Processing large amounts of data
[02:25] <bl4ckcomb> starcoder, I could expect it when I used geomirror (freebsd)
[02:25] <esing123> before GRUB is loaded DHCP is searched
[02:26] <econdudeawesome> histo: yes! :-) But I want to see what I have in the data too, get my hands dirty if you will
[02:26] <econdudeawesome> histo: but anyway, thanks for the tips.
[02:26] <fastbear> any proxy software under linux to bypass the fireall and http proxy?
[02:26] <histo> econdudeawesome: np that's how'd i'd approach it. I'm sure there is some scientific/statistical software package that will handle it.
[02:27] <histo> fastbear: you could ssh tunnel
[02:27] <pbearie> has anyone installed web100?

[02:28] <h3r0> hi all
[02:28] <greg__> any help with envy24control and m-audio sound card issues?
[02:28] <histo> amh345: netflix streaming is not possible on linux at the moment. The only way is to run it through a windows guest on top of linux.
[02:28] <Guest10528> i just only want to ask...
[02:29] <Guest10528> what is the relation between redhat and datacell.com?
[02:29] <greeniekin> this is reallly really annoying me. so much frustration
[02:29] <rww> reminds me, I need to mail netflix and say "Thanks for the offer to resubscribe, but no, and here's why..."
[02:29] <amh345> histo: like windows on a vm?
[02:29] <rww> !ot | hensem
[02:29] <hensem> im an ubuntu's user
[02:29] <histo> amh345: yes
[02:29] <esing123> hey
[02:29] <LUcase> pbearie:Web100 project was created to produce a complete host-software environment that will run common TCP applications at 100% of the available bandwidth, regardless of the magnitude of a network's capability.

[02:29] <histo> amh345: http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_watch_Netflix_(Watch_Instantly)_in_Linux
[02:29] <histo> esing123: what's that?
[02:29] <amh345> damn.  i guess ill just use my other mac laptop. so much for having ubuntu as my meida machine. :(
[02:30] <rww> hensem: That doesn't make a question about a website and another distribution on-topic for #ubuntu...
[02:30] <histo> amh345: yeah it's them being sticky with their drm stuff is the reason
[02:30] <pbearie> LUcase: so yes? i haven't noticed a significant difference..mm..
[02:30] <hensem> sori rww... i just found out they connected to that linux in port 22
[02:30] <scottj> anyone recommend a color grabber that can grab color anywhere on the screen (without taking a screenshot)?
[02:30] <starlock> anyone try natty yet?
[02:30] <hensem> im just suspicious
[02:30] <esing123> histo I want to run teamviewer as root on start up, but with adding @teamviewer to etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart it starts without root. @sudo teamviewer does not work
[02:30] <amh345> histo: ok, thanks for the confirmation.
[02:30] <astory> is there a guide to making a custom .iso?  I'd like to make one for my school with all the programs needed for our various cs classes already installed
[02:31] <LUcase> pbearie: see everything here : http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Kernels/Web100-7559.shtml
[02:31] <histo> esing123: why would you want to run it as root?
[02:31] <esing123> histo because it was suggested in an error which I received after teamviewer broke down. teamviewer breaks down only on linux
[02:32] <histo> esing123: teamviewer does not need root access
[02:32] <rww> starlock: try #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion
[02:32] <esing123> mhm
[02:32] <esing123> histo unfortunatly the program crashes and I need to ctrl+del
[02:32] <histo> astory: there are many on the forums and online
[02:32] <esing123> histo i thought i should try it with root because it was recommended
[02:32] <histo> esing123: what version are you trying?
[02:32] <greeniekin> why does something that should be so simple be so bloody hard
[02:32] <esing123> histo newest version teamviewer 6
[02:33] <Suit_Of_Sables> is lame not in the standard repos?
[02:33] <whitewolf> can someone help me out?
[02:33] <LUcase> !ask | whitewolf
[02:33] <histo> esing123: maybe contact there support?  I've never had a problem with it crashing.
[02:33] <esing123> histo yes mb i contact them tho I'd like to try it one time with root . is it actually possible to run it on startup as root?
[02:34] <histo> esing123: not sure how you would handle that.
[02:34] <esing123> histo would I need to add something like this " sudo teamviewer password?"
[02:34] <econdudeawesome> histo: for future folks, the best way to do this really looks like implementing R and the additional Rpy package. Best of luck!
[02:34] <esing123> histo how do I write sudo with pass?
[02:34] <greeniekin> has anyone here ever used a tv tuner card on ubuntu?
[02:34] <whitewolf> i just installed Ubuntu onto my dell laptop, and removed windows xp from it.  now it won't recognize the internal wifi card, and i can't turn wifi on with the function + f2 command.  how do i turn on my wifi card with ubuntu?
[02:35] <LUcase> !wifi | whitewolf
[02:35] <histo> esing123: not sure that would be the best way to do it. why not jsut try and launch it from a terminal sudo teamviewer3 or whatever and see if it crashes. Then try putting it in the startup later on if it doesn.t
[02:35] <LUcase> whitewolf, see my pm too :)
[02:36] <esing123> histo ye i should try it first
[02:36] <greeniekin> the ubuntuforums search is slow as it's been like 3 min of twirling. yet browsing other sites are instant
[02:36] <subcool> anyone- webcam.
[02:36] <esing123> histo tho, how could someone write the password within sudo ?
[02:36] <amh345> i've got a sample.txt file another a test.asc file. how the heck to i use the asc file to encrypt the sample.txt?   i cant figure it out.
[02:36] <esing123> sudo password xchat ?
[02:36] <esing123> or sudo xchat password?
[02:36] <amh345> does anyone know?
[02:36] <nullp0inter> i am trying to do sftp to my server however it says "Recieved message too long" probably because i have the user set to /sbin/nologin shell. Isnt it less secure to enable shell access? and is there a different solution to this that is still secure?
[02:36] <amh345> i've checked the gpg man but i dont understand it.
[02:37] <esing123> or sudo password "password" xchat ?
[02:37] <kriume> lol i paid 10 euro for a 11 hours bus ride
[02:37] <histo> esing123: you wouldn't you'd use visudo and edit the config. something like esing123 ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/teamviewer3     in there then your user could run teamviewer with sudo and not be prompted for password
[02:38] <Evanescence> 能否wine win7 ？

[02:39] <esing123> histo --> root ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/teamviewer3 ?
[02:39] <esing123> histo or :       Username ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/teamviewer3 ?
[02:39] <histo> esing123: no your username ALL=NOPASSWD: /path/to/executable
[02:40] <esing123> ah k
[02:40] <esing123> thx
[02:40] <esing123> :)
[02:40] <bob__> how do you switch channels with smuxi?
[02:40] <Suit_Of_Sables> does anyone know what repo LAME is in? 'apt-get install lame' doesn't find it :(
[02:40] <esing123> histo
[02:40] <esing123> histo is it enough when I write username ALL=NOPASSWD: teamviewer ? because i can run teamviewer like this in terimnal
[02:41] <J697> xangua, ok, but I want my emblem to stay on it and it does not for some reason
[02:41] <nullp0inter> anyone know about my sftp problem?
[02:41] <shawnboy> Is there a CLI command for getting info about media currently in an optical drive (using wodim or something)?
[02:41] <amh345> any ideas on my gpg question above?   there's no active chan that i can find--  you guys are my only hope :)

[02:42] <leg3nd> shawnboy, what kind information? have you tried 'file'?

[02:43] <greeniekin> who would have thought there would be so much confusing useless info on tv tuners in ubuntu
[02:43] <J697> I added a folder to the places part of the top panel but it is a project folder and I put a Developer emblem on it, however it did not stay on when I put it in the places folder, I mean it is still on the folder but in the places there is no emblem on it... how can I add the emblem to it for the places menu?
[02:43] <histo> nullp0inter: I don't think they will be able to sftp without shell access but I could be wrong.
[02:43] <histo> greeniekin: not something that is popular
[02:44] <esing123> histo I found only this: core@core-ThinkPad-T43:/$ sudo find . -name teamviewer6
[02:44] <esing123> ./usr/bin/teamviewer6
[02:44] <leg3nd> nullp0inter, you should create a ftp user and give him limited privilages and groups.
[02:44] <histo> esing123: you can just use "which teamviewer6"
[02:44] <esing123> so I must write " core ALL=NOPASSWD: usr/bin/teamviewer6
[02:44] <subcool> Can anyone help me google webcams? please?
[02:45] <shawnboy> leg3nd: just tried file. no go. In GUI software I've seen info button (ie Nero) that will tell you if a blank is in drive, if it's full, whether it's -R or RW or +R, etc.
[02:45] <histo> esing123: but it's in /usr/bin/teamviewer6 aparently
[02:45] <shawnboy> amh345: sorry, I'm not up on CLI gpg
[02:45] <subcool> i have done a few angels... i cant find anything that works
[02:45] <esing123> ah okay
[02:45] <histo> esing123: core ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/teamviewer6
[02:45] <esing123> thx !
[02:45] <J697> I added a folder to the places part of the top panel but it is a project folder and I put a Developer emblem on it, however it did not stay on when I put it in the places folder, I mean it is still on the folder but in the places there is no emblem on it... how can I add the emblem to it for the places menu?
[02:45] <histo> esing123: you may have to log out and back in for the changes but try it at a terminal sudo teamviewer6 should not ask for password now
[02:47] <leg3nd> shawnboy, theres a CLI disc burning application called 'cdrecord', i have no expierence with it but its probably as good as it will get besides fdisk and size commands.
[02:48] <kothaguy_ubuntu> how to join ubuntu natty chat server in xchat

[02:48] <shawnboy> leg3nd: ok. thanks.
[02:48] <esing123> hist i think you were right. Although Ive read a hint to run it as root now it says: TeamViewer must not be executed as root!
[02:48] <amh345> shawnboy: no worries. i figured it out with help from #gnupg
[02:49] <esing123> so I cant run it as root
[02:49] <shawnboy> amh345: glad to hear. simple solution?
[02:49] <leg3nd> yea you probably dont want to run RDP software as root..

[02:52] <J697> Where are all the folder icon pictures?
[02:52] <rcmaehl> Is it rhetorically possible to rm the rm file?
[02:52] <J697> I need a developer folder icon, is there a specific folder in which they are located?
[02:53] <rcmaehl> theoretically*
[02:54] <rcmaehl> Also is it bad if kubuntu-netbook uses less ram then gnome-desktop?
[02:54] <J697> I need a developer folder icon, is there a specific folder in which they are located?
[02:55] <rcmaehl> J697: /usr/share/icons probably

[02:57] <syrinx_> !ask | subcool
[02:57] <subcool> rcmaehl, tring to find a working howto for a builtin webcam
[02:57] <ajwill> hi all, i have a quick question, I know you can change the transparency of your panels... but how do you change the transparency of the applet backgrounds and window toolbar backgrounds?
[02:58] <rcmaehl> subcool: sudo apt-get install cheese should allow you to see through your webcam
[02:58] <subcool> rcmaehl, i have an HP Dv5 - but i cant find anything..
[02:58] <subcool> sob- really!?
[02:58] <rcmaehl> yep
[02:58] <iiicyg> Hello.
[02:58] <subcool> i have ben googling this all day, not a single forum pointed to that.
[02:58] <subcool> thanks..
[02:59] <rcmaehl> subcool: no problem
[03:01] <extra11> where can I see list of upcoming features?
[03:03] <kontagious> hey i am trying to edit my fstab. anyone familiar?
[03:03] <rcmaehl> kontagious: yes
[03:04] <kontagious> id like to mount this: /dev/sda3 on /media/Storage type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
[03:04] <kontagious> automount on startup
[03:04] <rcmaehl> O_o
[03:04] <kontagious> thats output from mount command
[03:04] <rcmaehl> very specific
[03:04] <Auriga> ajwill, As no one replied to you... Maybe you could try Emerald, I haven't played with it, but it might do it...
[03:04] <ajwill> kontagious: okay, that's easy, open up a terminal, cd /etc
[03:04] <rcmaehl> okay you got fstab alread opened
[03:04] <kontagious> i mean business
[03:05] <rcmaehl> ?
[03:05] <ajwill> Auriga: I'm trying compiz, I havent used ubuntu in quite a while
[03:05] <psusi> kontagious, what is the actual type of the filesystem?  ntfs?
[03:05] <kontagious> im in /etc
[03:05] <kontagious> ntfs
[03:05] <ajwill> okay then make a new line anywhere in fstab
[03:05] <ajwill> and put
[03:05] <Auriga> ajwill, Yeah it might, not something I use in compiz personally, I keep my compiz usage down to a cube & some other small things.
[03:06] <J697> I can't find the Developer icon folder picture anywhere, I really need it. Can anyone help out?
[03:06] <ajwill> /dev/sda3 /media/Storage ntfs rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions 0 0
[03:06] <Auriga> ajwill, Yeah it might, not something I use in compiz personally, I keep my compiz usage down to a cube & some other small things.
[03:06] <ajwill> Auriga: ahh, yeah... I'm waiting for my new computer, my old one didnt have enough ram or a good enough video card to hardly even use compiz :P
[03:06] <kontagious> ajwill, thanks will try restarting. ill be back
[03:06] <rcmaehl> put /dev/sda3      /media/Storage      auto         defaults       0      1
[03:06] <rcmaehl> make that 1 a 2 actually
[03:07] <kontagious> hmm
[03:07] <Auriga> ajwill, For your old machine, maybe try elive, something which I came across today for the first time. Or a mini distro like Slitaz.
[03:07] <rcmaehl> those options are defailt
[03:07] <kriume> lol
[03:07] <kontagious> rcmaehl, i will try that if ajwill's doesnt work. thanks :D
[03:08] <rcmaehl> kontagious: ok
[03:08] <ajwill> Auriga: once I get my new one I'll turn the old one into a server :)
[03:08] <Auriga> ajwill, An even better idea.
[03:08] <ajwill> Auriga: and I found elive too, but I couldnt be bothered to create a paypal or write an article...
[03:08] <skullboy> how do i access the grub2 menu
[03:09] <ajwill> skullboy: could you be more specific? like, do you just want it to show at boot? or change basic settings?
[03:09] <nobita> bosan
[03:09] <skullboy> ajwill: i want it to show at boot
[03:10] <kontagious> worked :D
[03:10] <ajwill> skullboy: if I recall properly, try holding shift while booting
[03:10] <ajwill> kontagious: great! glad to hear it! :)
[03:10] <subcool> is it normal for kubuntu to be running like 2gb ram?
[03:10] <kontagious> do you mind helping me with another fs mount?
[03:10] <ajwill> yeah sure!
[03:10] <skullboy> subcool: how much ram do you have
[03:10] <subcool> 4?
[03:11] <subcool> it appears to use swap at 3
[03:11] <ajwill> skullboy: and if that doesnt work then let me know and we'll take a look at your grub file :P
[03:11] <kontagious> ok now when i installed i didnt put swap.. the tutorial i used said add it in after. so i have a swap file in /media/Storage/1024Mb.swap
[03:11] <skullboy> subcool: then it should uese all 4gb what kernel are you useing
[03:11] <ajwill> okay, first things first, are you ever going to be suspending your system?
[03:11] <subcool> uname -r right?
[03:11] <kontagious> no
[03:12] <kontagious> i might accidentily though
[03:12] <ajwill> then dont worry about it
[03:12] <ajwill> that's all swap is for
[03:12] <ajwill> I dont use it
[03:12] <ajwill> its just a waste of a few GB in my opinion
[03:12] <subcool> 2.6.32-28-generic
[03:12] <kontagious> i am going to be running virtual machines (up to 3 at a time)
[03:12] <rcmaehl> ajwill: LIES! swap is also for when you run out of ram
[03:12] <kontagious> i need to run 3 windows servers in vmware for college
[03:12] <kontagious> i need swap :(
[03:12] <ajwill> rcmaehl: really? I thought it was just for SWAPing? and suspending
[03:13] <kontagious> i never used it before tho
[03:13] <subcool> skullboy, 2.6.32-28-generic
[03:13] <rcmaehl> ajwill: yeah it's like windows pagefile
[03:13] <ajwill> kontagious: okay, do you have a partition set aside for swap or no?
[03:13] <Auriga> If you had 16GB of ram though... how often would you run out of ram...?
[03:13] <ajwill> rcmaehl: hm, I didnt know that, thanks for informing me :)
[03:14] <kontagious> no, i did mkswap on a file then swapon
[03:14] <kontagious> its showing up in system monitor perfect
[03:14] <GaryD> If i had 16GB of RAM, i would just run more programs. i'm sure i could use it all.
[03:14] <skullboy> subcool: no thats not the problem are they mismatch
[03:14] <rcmaehl> Auriga: if you're running a netbook with only 1gb of ram running Kubuntu-desktop who often whould you run out of ram?\
[03:15] <Auriga> rcmaehl, ....?
[03:15]  * rcmaehl facepalms
[03:15] <kontagious> should i just append /media/Storage/1024Mb.swap  none  swap  sw  0 0
[03:16] <kontagious> since my storage is already auto mounted
[03:16] <subcool> skullboy, mismatched with... what?
[03:17] <skullboy> subcool: mismatch types
[03:18] <skullboy> subcool: did all 4 ever work
[03:18] <kontagious> i stumped the irc rats hahaha
[03:18] <subcool> skullboy, havent really noticed honestly-
[03:18] <subcool> i just installed vmare and decided to keep an eye on it- then noticed its usage
[03:19] <skullboy> subcool: use hwinfo to see if they are present
[03:19] <ajwill> Auriga: which was it you suggest for applet/window transparency? compiz isnt doin it for me :P
[03:19] <skullboy> subcool: or take it apart
[03:19] <skullboy> subcool: that just voids ur warenty
[03:20] <kontagious> rcmaehl or ajwill any ideas
[03:20] <rcmaehl> no
[03:20] <skullboy> ajwill | !compix
[03:20] <skullboy> ajwill | !compiz
[03:20] <rcmaehl> nope
[03:20] <kontagious> i should have set it as a partitian but i didnt want to resize my ntfs in fear of losing my data
[03:21] <kontagious> !compiz | ajwill
[03:21] <Auriga> ajwill, I was saying to take a look at Emerald, I don't know if you will get it with that or not. But was sugesting that it might.
[03:21] <edbian> kontagious, I've re-sized my NTFS a dozen times.  Never once lost data
[03:21] <kontagious> using the installer?
[03:21] <Auriga> ajwill, You'll maybe want to look at 111.1.32.149
[03:22] <edbian> kontagious, Using gparted on a live CD
[03:22] <Auriga> Not that...
[03:22] <Auriga> ajwill, gnome look .org or something so...
[03:22] <Auriga> ajwill, I have it up in a vm right now hence not pasting.
[03:23] <kontagious> i have hours of work saved i couldnt risk losing it. maybe i could run the swapon command at startup as an easy quick fix?
[03:23] <ajwill> Auriga, ahh, why dont you use virtualbox? it can transfer copy.pastes ;)
[03:23] <ajwill> *copy/pastes
[03:23] <elektroid> I have a dual-core amd, my current distro when using top or looking at /proc/cpuinfo reveals only a single core but I remember using ubuntu amd64, it showed 2, is it just because I am runnig a 32bit distro or how can I find out?
[03:23] <Auriga> ajwill, I do use Vbox, but that is the first time ever I have needed to copy paste from a vm. So it's not something I have looked at how to do lol.
[03:23] <subcool> skullboy, what am i looking for- memory?
[03:24] <subcool> i just skimmed through it twice
[03:24] <midas007> Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" and one particular video file (flv) I play has delayed audio. I'd like to play this file and have the audio properly synchronized. I'm not trying to convert the file, just to play it. Does anyone know of an application that would allow me to adjust the sound delay?
[03:24] <skullboy> subcool: RAM
[03:25] <kontagious> midas007, have you tried using VLC player
[03:25] <iretch> is there any simple way to have a script run instead of a screensaver? I wish to have the screen just immediately go to DPMS off mode when screensaver is run. This would be useful because I'd like the screen to immediately go back to sleep if there is an unsucessful login attempt at the lock screen
[03:25] <elektroid> midas007: which audio driver are you using?
[03:25] <pbearie> how do i upgrade a 2.6.18 kernel to 2.6.35?
[03:25] <subcool> skullboy, -- lol .. nothing came up. i just ran hwinfo | grep RAM
[03:25] <midas007> i've tried VLC but I don't see how to resynchronize the audio
[03:26] <elektroid> I had significant audio lag when I used OSS
[03:26] <elektroid> midas007: VLC is your best bet for determining if its a software or audio driver issue
[03:26] <elektroid> midas007: which driver are you using?
[03:26] <midas007> how do I check which driver?
[03:26] <skullboy> subcool: hwinfo --ram
[03:26] <edbian> midas007, That is a common problem with flash.  I am pretty sure that it is actually that the data itself is not syncronized.  You'd have to use a video editor to actually fix it.  Not sure if such a thing exists
[03:27] <jrmcm> I need help "uncapturing" my keyboard and or mouse from a vbox.
[03:27] <elektroid> midas007: just open the sound under preferences should indicate if its oSS, alsa, pulse or whatever
[03:27] <subcool> nope
[03:27] <subcool> skullboy, nada- usage errored
[03:27] <elektroid> jrmcm: right-Ctrl doesnt work?
[03:28] <jrmcm> Nope.
[03:28] <elektroid> jrmcm: right-ctrl should be your default home key unless you altered it
[03:28] <midas007> Sound Preferences ... Applications ... says ALSA
[03:28] <skullboy> subcool: sorry hwinfo --memory
[03:29] <elektroid> midas007: ah ok, also in VLC you can pick in preferences which driver to use, try forcing it to use alsa
[03:29] <_antant_> Hi guys.
[03:29] <elektroid> see if that doesnt make a difference for a start, otherwise, some videos themselves have bad encoding
[03:29] <_antant_> What can I do to solve a 'java.awt.headlessexception' error?
[03:29] <midas007> OK, tried it with VLC. Video plays the same. Same delay.
[03:29] <_antant_> Trying to run RemoteDroidServer.jar
[03:29] <subcool> skullboy, Memory Size: 3 GB + 512 MB
[03:29] <midas007> Delay about .3 secs, sound behind.
[03:29] <subcool> i guess it uses some for the Video
[03:30] <elektroid> midas007: delays only appears with this video or always?
[03:30] <midas007> Only this video
[03:30] <elektroid> midas007: in VLC you can alter the sync itself
[03:31] <midas007> elektroid, u r onto the path I'm looking for, altering the sync, preferably during playback
[03:31] <elektroid> Tools -> Track Synchronization
[03:31] <skullboy> subcool: so you have about 4gbs of ram
[03:31] <subcool> appears..
[03:32] <skullboy> subcool: use the names of the people
[03:32] <subcool> what?
[03:32] <zee313> hi
[03:33] <csf111> hello
[03:33] <zee313> how to open .rar and .bok files?
[03:33] <csf111> unrar
[03:33] <xangua> install unrar like csf111 said
[03:33] <midas007> elektroid, thank you, looks promising, will give it a try
[03:33] <rcarcamo> midas007: Cinelerra can do both
[03:34] <skullboy> subcool: if your talking to someone pacific put NAME: MESSAGE
[03:34] <rww> !rar
[03:35] <midas007> thank you too rcarcamo
[03:35] <Alix_> Hello, i'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu and I have a problem with gksu.. http://pastie.org/1681222
[03:35] <subcool> skullboy, sorry- i get lazy
[03:35] <rcarcamo> midas007: welcome
[03:35] <skullboy> subcool: no problem just imageion 1mill people and one person saying something without identifying the person
[03:35] <Alix_> Can log in trought gksu.. auth failed but sudo is fine
[03:35] <elektroid> Alix_: can you use su or sudo?
[03:35] <csf111> zee313: Did that help? Or do you need more?
[03:36] <Alix_> elektroid, sudo yes but su, no
[03:36] <syrinx_> root password Alix_
[03:37] <Alix_> I never defined a root password while the installation of ubuntu, just my user
[03:37] <elektroid> Alix_: ah yeah set the root password then suduo passwd root
[03:37] <Alix_> ok
[03:37] <elektroid> sudo*
[03:37] <subcool> skullboy, i know- so- what is the common use of kubuntu? why am i running on 2gb?
[03:37] <elektroid> cant use su without a password
[03:37] <Alix_> sudo passwd <my_user> ?
[03:37] <elektroid> root
[03:37] <Alix_> ok
[03:37] <Alix_> i try that :)
[03:38] <klabezo> hi there any one know how to config conky ?
[03:38] <subcool> skullboy, i guess that came out wrong- but i thinku got what im saying
[03:38] <Alix_> it's working ! thank you elektroid and syrinx_ :S
[03:38] <syrinx_> no problem Alix_
[03:39] <skullboy> subcool: wait i just looked it up it that is how much its useing at the time if it needs more it will use more
[03:39] <elektroid> no where are the bigboys for my question and answer LOL
[03:39] <elektroid> now*
[03:40] <klabezo> any thing about conky please ?
[03:40] <_antant_> elektroid (or anyone): I'm trying to run RemoteDroidServer.jar and I'm being told there's a 'java.awt.headlessexception' error. Works fine under windows. Any idea why not here?
[03:40] <edbian> elektroid, What is your question?
[03:40] <subcool> skullboy, ya, i get that. but i thought ubuntu was supposed to use like 1gb.
[03:40] <xangua> klabezo: an easy way to configure conky is: conky colors
[03:41] <elektroid> edbian: with my current distro, top and /proc/cpuinfo only give show 1 core, previously, I used Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 and it showed 2 cores, is it just a product of using a 32bit distro?
[03:41] <klabezo> apt-get install what to install conky colors Xangua ?
[03:41] <skullboy> subcool: yes but ur running kubuntu correct
[03:41] <xangua> klabezo: no, google it... is not in repository
[03:42] <subcool> skullboy, yes- but its just KDE.
[03:42] <edbian> elektroid, 32 vs. 64 bit OS should not make a difference. That is mostly about memory mapping and performance (for apps that take advantage of it)
[03:42] <elektroid> _antant_: I am not specifically familiar, sorry
[03:42] <klabezo> thank you Xangua i will try
[03:42] <edbian> elektroid, You should def see 2 cores in 32 bit Ubuntu of 64 bit Ubuntu if you have 2 cores
[03:42] <skullboy> subcool: kde is more demanding than gnome
[03:42] <audiotrax> i'm not getting sound from my m-audio delta 1010 (ice1712).  I've been through every forum post/troubleshoot i could find and i still have no sound.  any ideas?
[03:42] <needlez> Hi, quick question I'm having an issue with using unlock when I lock my screen through ubuntu. I have pam_tally configured to lock out user at 3 login attempts.  not sure if there is something that i need to modify in pam.d to get the gnome-screensaver to let me use unlock
[03:43] <elektroid> edbian: thats what I am worried about, is it because a 32bit distro isnt setup to use SMP in the kernel?
[03:43] <subcool> skullboy, ya- i know. but not 1gb...
[03:44] <Doonz> I just got a VPS box with ubuntu 10.04 installed. I created 2 new users. How do i get them to have the same terminal feel as the original user (sorry i dont know what to call it)
[03:44] <edbian> elektroid, 32 vs 64 bit has no bearing on SMP.  They can both use it.
[03:44] <skullboy> subcool: well there is the apps ur running to
[03:45] <subcool> skullboy, once again- not 1gb.
[03:45] <StepNjump> Guys, how come the real player doesn't have the save video option in Ubuntu. It has the option in windows
[03:45] <elektroid> edbian: I looked at the kernel config, it does have SMP, I guess I am just trying to figure out why I only have a single core available, worried I am only getting half performance
[03:45] <edbian> elektroid, Yes it is very strange...
[03:45] <audiotrax>  i'm not getting sound from my m-audio delta 1010 (ice1712).  I've been through every forum post/troubleshoot i could find and i still have no sound.  any ideas?
[03:45] <Chr|s> I asked this earlier, but I forgot, how do I switch to command line only mode and switch back
[03:46] <edbian> elektroid, Do you have an nvidia card?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1638963
[03:46] <skullboy> subcool: that depends what r u running
[03:46] <elektroid> edbian: nope, ati-amd radeon

[03:46] <elektroid> audiotrax: I would be interested to find out too because I am planning on getting a setup like that
[03:46] <StepNjump> Is there anything easy to install I could use to save streaming video or streaming video in Ubuntu?
[03:47] <edbian> elektroid, What is the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo   ?

[03:47] <elektroid> edbian: http://pastie.org/1681254
[03:48] <audiotrax> elektroid:  I even did a completely fresh instsall of ubuntu and started from scratch....still no results
[03:48] <edbian> elektroid, one core is missing.  I don't know why though.
[03:49] <wenbert> from the commandline, how do I add fileA.png  to myarchive.zip?
[03:49] <elektroid> audiotrax: do you get the drivers to load at least?
[03:49] <elektroid> audiotrax: as in can you get alsamixer up and what not
[03:49] <Komotive> Can anyone give me some pointers on identifying unexpected shutdowns in ubuntu
[03:50] <Prinler^Lin> how do i log in as root? I think i killed sudo... i looked it uponline and it says log in as root and change permissions. How do i do that
[03:50] <audiotrax> elektroid:  you bet.  the sound card is set to the default.  the alsamixer comes up no problem, the system sees the card and sees the inputs.  but it only gives me the option of digital outputs (which i'm assuming is the S/PDIF) and i'm not using that...i'm using analog outs 1/2
[03:50] <Prinler^Lin> Changing the file rights from 644 to 440 "fixed" it.
[03:51] <needlez> Prinler^Lin:  I was gonna say cant you use sudo su to drop to root?
[03:51] <Abhijit> !tar | wenbert
[03:52] <elektroid> audiotrax: do 'lsmod | grep snd-ice' for me
[03:52] <audiotrax> elektroid:  I got back "Usage:  lsmod"
[03:52] <Komotive> Can anyone give me some pointers on identifying unexpected shutdowns in ubuntu
[03:52] <wenbert> Abhijit I just want to add a single to a zip file. I have uploaded that 90mb file to the server but forgot to add one file to the zip. i was hoping to add it via command line...
[03:52] <cardamon> Anyone know why empathy's stopped logging into facebook?
[03:53] <kontagious> hey im having a problem installing flash player on firefox 4, ubuntu 64 bit
[03:53] <kontagious> cardamon, mine is down too
[03:53] <elektroid> audiotrax: ok lets try 'lsmod | grep snd'
[03:53] <elektroid> audiotrax: you should see snd_ice, if not you arent using the right module for that card
[03:53] <Prinler^Lin> sudo
[03:53] <Prinler^Lin> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440
[03:53] <Prinler^Lin> sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
[03:54] <Prinler^Lin> needlez my sudo has died
[03:54] <audiotrax> elektroid:  got back a whole list of stuff.  at the top of the list i see "snd_ice1712"
[03:54] <Abhijit> wenbert, no idea
[03:54] <delinquentme> whats the ubuntu panel icon .. in the top right .. that gives me a menu with shut down at the bottom?
[03:55] <Loshki> wenbert: you answer is buried somewhere in the depths of 'man zip'
[03:55] <crazyharry> I was wondering if this PCMCIA usb card will work for my T40 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839101111&cm_re=pcmcia_card-_-39-101-111-_-Product
[03:55] <Loshki> wenbert: you -> your
[03:55] <crazyharry> both my USB doesnt work, I bought it like that from ebay
[03:56] <Prinler^Lin> Anyone know how to log myself inro root so i can fix a file permission with sudo?
[03:56] <banker247> anyone savvy in autoconf?>
[03:56] <Komotive> Can anyone give me some pointers on identifying unexpected shutdowns in ubuntu please?
[03:56] <trism> delinquentme: indicator-applet-session
[03:57] <elektroid> Prinler^Lin: if sudo works then 'sudo -s' will drop you into a root shell
[03:57] <delinquentme> trism, thanks!
[03:58] <Prinler^Lin> elektroid,  did you not even reasd my issue? sudo is BROKEN!!!!!!
[03:58] <Loshki> Komotive: start in /var/log and see if there's anything interesting logged around the shutdowns. Also, please describe exactly what happens at one of these 'shutdowns'
[03:59] <elektroid> Prinler^Lin: I didnt understand what you meant, if you cant use sudo then use su, what else can you do?
[03:59] <Loshki> Prinler^Lin: can't you just boot single-user and fix the file?
[03:59] <Komotive> I've had a good few of them now and been through the logs that I'm aware of. I can see any particular issue yet
[04:00] <Komotive> *cant*
[04:00] <Komotive> Kern log doesn't show anything faulting
[04:00] <audiotrax> elektroid:  message me again
[04:00] <Loshki> Komotive: ok, please describe the 'shutdown'? e.g. dead with keyboard leds flashing...
[04:01] <Komotive> It's almost like the power just cuts out momentarily ....
[04:01] <elektroid> audiotrax: are my msgs not going through?
[04:01] <Prinler^Lin> Loshki,  no
[04:01] <elektroid> audiotrax: I asked if you are using Ubuntu studio and if you had installed any modules for the card
[04:01] <tripelbb> ok, please tell me what I did when I hit  control-alt-F1   ---  and how to recover after doing it.  (says the dumbo)
[04:02] <Loshki> Prinler^Lin: er, why can't you boot single user?
[04:02] <rww> tripelbb: switched to a text terminal. ctrl-alt-F7. or sometimes F8.
[04:03] <ericy> tripelbb: Recover via ctrl-alt-F7
[04:03] <Komotive> Loshki: Is there any way to log the power info?
[04:03] <Loshki> Komotive: It sounds hardware/power supply related. Do you have a UPS, btw?
[04:03] <tripelbb> thanks ericy quit exit didnt work.
[04:03] <Prinler^Lin> no root password
[04:04] <elektroid> Prinler^Lin: root password isnt necessary for single user
[04:04] <Komotive> Loshki: No - but I may have to get one to rule it out ....
[04:04] <Loshki> Prinler^Lin: what elektroid said...
[04:04] <elektroid> Prinler^Lin: run level 1 = single user mode
[04:05] <Prinler^Lin> you need root to do the command to change permissions on sudoers.d
[04:05] <Loshki> Prinler^Lin: when you boot single user you are automatically root...
[04:06] <audiotrax> how do you unignore someone?
[04:06] <Prinler^Lin> *raises eyebrow*
[04:06] <audiotrax> clicked the wrong button
[04:06]  * nick laughs at audiotrax None of that!
[04:06] <Prinler^Lin> how do i boot into run lvl 1
[04:06] <rww> audiotrax: try #freenode for IRC help
[04:06] <audiotrax> #freenode
[04:06] <spiralni> hi.. new here
[04:07] <elektroid> Prinler^Lin: this should help you with single user mode and other problems http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub
[04:07] <needlez> Prinler^Lin: you could hold shift down on reboot and go to recv mode and then drop to root shell and modify sudoers file from there
[04:08] <elektroid> can someone tell audiotrax that he cant get my msgs
[04:08] <needlez> Hi, quick question I'm having an issue with using unlock when I lock my screen through ubuntu. I have pam_tally configured to lock out user at 3 login attempts.  not sure if there is something that i need to modify in pam.d to get the gnome-screensaver to let me use unlock??
[04:10] <Echo9er> hi all
[04:10] <elektroid> needlez: you tried 'passwd -u [user]'
[04:11] <Echo9er> would anyone be up to help me pick a new laptop?
[04:11] <Echo9er> i wanna run ubuntu on it
[04:11] <Echo9er> it will be for school mostly.
[04:11] <needlez> elektroid: its not at a terminal, its the screensaver login it wont allow unlock, since I modified pam.d/auth-common
[04:12] <Echo9er> and this dell rep is an idiot who i am talking to via chat.
[04:12] <Echo9er>  11:11:18 PM   	 Agent 	 Vishnu V 	
[04:12] <Echo9er> You can install Ubuntu on your own but you need to uninstall the existing software
[04:12] <elektroid> I thought Dell came with pre-installed Linux distros these days?
[04:12] <Echo9er> evidently not anymore.
[04:13] <Loshki> audiotrax: /ignore -r <user> to unignore. See http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/ircc-commands.html
[04:13] <elektroid> needlez: cant reboot or what exactly?
[04:13] <needlez> Echo9er: you should look into the different hardware that is in the laptop and see if the laptop's hardware is supported by ubuntu
[04:13] <elektroid> if you are account is locked out, you cant do much of anything besides rebooting
[04:14] <needlez> elektroid: its not that im locked out, its that when I go to use unlock on screensaver its like unlock has been disabled, says password is incorrect even though its the correct password.
[04:14] <Echo9er> how much hardware isn't supported?
[04:14] <hiexpo> h8axors
[04:15] <needlez> elektroid: I can go to switch user and login as me but just wanted to know if I can turn back on unlock somehow
[04:15] <elektroid> needlez: I think I misunderstood the context, basically, you can login and want to reactivate unlock for screensaver?
[04:15] <needlez> Echo9er: depends, some wifi cards, some graphics cards, some processors if your kernel is before 2.6.35-xx
[04:16] <needlez> elektroid: correct, i have to use switch user instead of unlock to login, its kinda annoying
[04:16] <Prinler^Lin> Hmm how do i reboot into run lvl 1 from my usb drive?
[04:16] <Prinler^Lin> it doesnt have grub
[04:16] <elektroid> Echo9er: yeah wifi cards are the biggest pain especially if you only have one computer around, check on the supported list
[04:17] <hiexpo> !air rack-ng
[04:17] <trism> Prinler^Lin: if it is a usb drive, just plug it in somewhere else and edit the file
[04:17] <Echo9er> is 2 gb enough to run ubunto?
[04:17] <Echo9er> is 2 gb enough to run ubuntu?
[04:17] <hiexpo> !aircrack-ng
[04:17] <needlez> Prinler^Lin:  what do you want to drop to run lv  1 for??
[04:18] <elektroid> Echo9er: for a desktop, with the majority of common software, no
[04:18] <Prinler^Lin> to alter the permission on sudo.... sudo is broken
[04:18] <elektroid> oh wait, Ram?
[04:18] <Prinler^Lin> i need root access to change it all
[04:18] <Echo9er> yeah ram
[04:18] <elektroid> 1 gb is fine but I would go 2gb if you can
[04:19] <elektroid> 512 mb would even be fine but it wouldnt be the best choice if you intend to use desktop programs normally
[04:19] <needlez> Prinler^Lin: if you want to get to root, you could just hold shift on reboot which should give you grub selection , choose recv mode and then start in root or rootshell, you'll have root permission to alter any file you need
[04:19] <Echo9er> its going to be for coding in c++
[04:19] <Echo9er> and java
[04:19] <elektroid> I added another 1 gig ram because I tend to have firefox, openoffice and various audio programs open at the same time
[04:19] <Echo9er> and online test.
[04:19] <jigynet> Is there any software for xubuntu that wiy systwmll assit in clearin ALL cache, tmp and cookies on m
[04:19] <jigynet> my system
[04:20] <elektroid> Echo9er: if you arent doing anything intensive, you can get away with 512 but again its about comfort, I wouldnt in modern times use anything less than 2 gb
[04:20] <W43372> I was installing Samba and I got these weird messages in my terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581453/
[04:20] <jigynet> how do i assign more swap space on a wubi install, last timme i tried i messed up the grub booter somehow
[04:20] <mrdeb> do you recommend ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10
[04:20] <Echo9er> well most of these laptops are 2gbs that i am looking at... thats why im asking
[04:21] <jigynet> most os's use 400mb of ram minimum
[04:21] <Echo9er> i got windows 7 down to like 100 by disabling tons of stuff.
[04:22] <needlez> mrdeb: depends, for more over all long lasting support 10.04 its LTS but for  bleeding edge 10.10  or if your computer runs an i7 you maybe forced to run 10.10, cuz 10.04 won't recognize some i7 systems
[04:22] <jigynet> so to keep costs down, buy it as is with minimum specs..but make sure it supports upgrades and that they can be done easily
[04:22] <Echo9er> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834157502&cm_re=hp_laptop_i3-_-34-157-502-_-Product
[04:22] <mrdeb> needlez: why not
[04:22] <Echo9er> what do you think of that one?
[04:23] <elektroid> Echo9er: are you buying each person that helps you one too? :)
[04:24] <jigynet> for maximum options and performance steer clear of hp,compaq,dell,alien or any other proprietay vendors...they severely limit upgrades and performance in most models
[04:24] <elektroid> that one is more than enough
[04:24] <Echo9er> lol suuuuuure...
[04:24] <needlez> mrdeb: different kernels on 10.04 and 10.10 , 10.04's kernel isn't 2.6.35-xx which my i7 will only run with that kernel or newer, older kernel doesn't allow correct acpi configuration for my system
[04:24] <Echo9er> wait
[04:24] <Echo9er> dont get that hp?
[04:24] <Echo9er> which should i get then?
[04:24] <Echo9er> you just listed everyone.
[04:24] <jigynet> the i3 and other integrated 3d gfx is mighty weak
[04:25] <jigynet> xD
[04:25] <Echo9er> i5 is a 200 dollar jump
[04:25] <jigynet> i'm not syaing that i'm looking this one over now
[04:25] <eamon> What's a good lightweight web browser that supports images?
[04:26] <raido> eamon: Midori
[04:26] <jigynet> nice 3mb lvl 3 cahce
[04:27] <jigynet> ddr3 is a plus
[04:27] <extra11> http://www.gotomidori.com/ that is insanely slow
[04:27] <extra11> loading
[04:27] <jigynet> the hd gfx has no shaders or physix..not for gameing
[04:27] <mrdeb> needlez: that's a major issue
[04:27] <Echo9er> i can get away with dx7 games though
[04:27] <jigynet> xD
[04:27] <sloucher> general
[04:28] <jigynet> lets see if i can find something on newegg to demonstrate my point tho
[04:28] <needlez> mrdeb: kinda, just an issue with older kernels not having the right acpi configuration for newer laptop computers
[04:28] <Echo9er> if you can find something on newegg please show me
[04:28] <W43372> I was installing Samba and I got these weird messages in my terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581453/
[04:30] <W43372> Anybody know what all this means? http://paste.ubuntu.com/581453/
[04:32] <Prinler^Lin> fail
[04:32] <Prinler^Lin> holding shift down does nothing
[04:33] <Prinler^Lin> Guess its time to redo this thumb drive i guess.
[04:33] <Prinler^Lin> thanks for the help

[04:37] <gabo1323> tanks so much ruan
[04:38] <Echo9er> i didnt know newegg could do that
[04:38] <Echo9er> is a n830 better than an i3?
[04:39] <elektroid> jigynet: for big links, use tinyurl, just a suggestion for us using console irc clients
[04:39] <ruan> y they all have windows 7
[04:39] <zsx0859> sgas
[04:39] <zsx0859> dg

[04:40] <Echo9er> that's the one i am looking at
[04:40] <Echo9er> but pentium?
[04:40] <Echo9er> really?
[04:40] <Echo9er> thats... sooooooo old.
[04:40] <zsx0859> on
[04:40] <elektroid> just curious, are most of you using amd64 distros?
[04:41] <zsx0859> what?
[04:41] <pbearie> how do i upgrade a 2.6.18 kernel to a 2.6.35?
[04:41] <jigynet> also note echo that 64bit will perform much much better then 32
[04:41] <ruan> pbearie: why would you want to do that?
[04:41] <needlez> hi can someone go look at there /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver  file and post its configuration for me?? I think mines broken, unlock doesnt work
[04:41] <Echo9er> you know you could go as high as 600 dollars yeah?
[04:42] <jigynet> xD
[04:42] <pbearie> ruan: i have a web100 deb that can run on 2.6.35, and i want to install that
[04:42] <jigynet> yea i'm trying to save you dough too xD
[04:42] <jigynet> but yea that ill probably get more of what you need for audio
[04:42] <elektroid> needlez: http://pastebin.com/pEdLJ82V
[04:42] <Auriga> VirtualBox issue... Under windows I was able to edit the xml file to get more than 128mb of vram... It's not happening in Linux... Any thoughts?
[04:42] <Echo9er> you going to hook me up with another link?
[04:42] <giiker> histo: if u r still there, I finally sply my window vertically!
[04:43] <giiker> histo: if u r still there, I finally splited my window vertically!
[04:43] <jigynet> the one you originally selected need to be met or better..3mb lvl3 cache, 7200rpm HD 2gb or more ddr3 and atleast 3 cores
[04:43] <Echo9er> the i3 is a quad core bro
[04:43] <jigynet> 7200rpm hd would be best for audio and media
[04:43] <jigynet> LOL
[04:43] <jigynet> no the i3 is a 3 core
[04:43] <jigynet> xD
[04:44] <Echo9er> orly?
[04:44] <jigynet> hence I"3"
[04:44] <jigynet> xD
[04:44] <Echo9er> well its got 4 threads
[04:44] <elektroid> AMd64 X2 dual-core, how many cores in that?
[04:44] <mrdeb> i dont understand why i3 would not be supported in 10.04, when an older os like xp alreayd supports it
[04:44] <elektroid> j/k
[04:44] <jigynet> yup, the more threads the better
[04:45] <Echo9er> ok so what should i buy jigynet
[04:45] <elektroid> what do you mean i3 isnt supported?
[04:46] <rww> Core i3 has two physical core, and works fine on Ubuntu as far as I know.
[04:46] <elektroid> its really down to the kernel you use
[04:46] <needlez> elektroid: are you on ubuntu or what distro is this from, cuz its way different from mine. guessing its fedora since it shows fedora
[04:47] <elektroid> yeah, fedora, you spotted me out
[04:47]  * elektroid hides
[04:47] <Echo9er> is a dual core pentium ok to use?
[04:47] <elektroid> needlez: but the version of pam should be the determinant as far as syntax
[04:48] <needlez> yea, im using it to try to figure out how to configure mine, thank you very much was jw
[04:49] <needlez> gonna test it after configuring it
[04:49] <Echo9er> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214185
[04:49] <Echo9er> how about this one
[04:50] <needlez> still no luck, shows auth failed
[04:50] <needlez> even tho password is correct
[04:51] <elektroid> needlez: have you altered anything specfic to /etc/passwd or /etc/group?
[04:51] <ruan> Echo9er: sold out
[04:51] <needlez> elektroid: no
[04:51] <Echo9er> just saw it
[04:51] <ruan> why not a laptop without windows 7.. if there are any
[04:51] <elektroid> needlez: has this issue occured since first install or when did it specifically start?
[04:52] <Echo9er> lol find me one and i will get it
[04:52] <elektroid> http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[04:52] <Echo9er> orly
[04:52] <Echo9er> awesome
[04:53] <elektroid> or do you want vendors that preconfigure with Linux?
[04:53] <elektroid> I can think of a few
[04:53] <Echo9er> i wanna install it
[04:53] <elektroid> and Dell claims to online
[04:53] <Echo9er> a laptop that has nothing would be even better
[04:53] <needlez> elektroid: occured after I added this to common-auth auth required pam_tally.so onerr=fail deny=5 unlock_time=21600 no_reset
[04:54] <ruan> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121006&cm_re=laptop_no_os-_-17-121-006-_-Product
[04:54] <ruan> lol
[04:54] <elektroid> Echo9er: cant you just format the partition? whats the difference?
[04:54] <ruan> elektroid: windows 7 adds on to the price
[04:54] <Echo9er> you pay for the key is all
[04:54] <elektroid> any partition program will wipe a windows install in seconds
[04:54] <elektroid> ahh
[04:54] <elektroid> the price
[04:54] <stewartlittle> Greetings from Madison WI... Just getting the word out about Operation Moon-Walker in Madison WI.  Sat the 19th at Noon.  People are meeting at the state street statue to gather... then we are going to Moon Scott Walker.  Cheers.  I hear there may be a wave... Epic
[04:55] <W43372> I was installing Samba and I got these weird messages in my terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581453/
[04:56] <needlez> elektroid: any idea??
[04:57] <stiltzkin> alright gentlemen, I've got another quick question for ya
[04:58] <stiltzkin> The only wireless adapter I have for this PowerMac G4 is a Netgear WG111 usb dongle
[04:58] <elektroid> needlez: sorry, I am reading pam.d configuration to find out what each part means, I am suspect to the onerr part
[04:58] <stiltzkin> The installation of which requires ndiswrapper
[04:58] <elektroid> needlez: if it was that line that changed everything perhaps something is missing or incorrect and I am trying to find out
[04:58] <stiltzkin> Unfortunately ndiswrapper can't really be used on PPC, since there are no PPC Windows drivers.
[04:58] <needlez> elektroid: kk take your time
[04:59] <stiltzkin> So my question is, does anyone know of any other drivers or methods one might go about using to get this working on a PPC machine? Or am I SOL
[05:01] <pbearie> if i want to upgrade a kernel version, i download the new kernel source, compile and install?
[05:02] <stiltzkin> There is an ancient thread here with my question but no real answer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=177850
[05:03] <jigynet> echo well i'm stumped, i can't seem to find a non-proprietary laptop matching or beating your first choice
[05:03] <Echo9er> ok
[05:03] <overclucker> stiltzkin: does the usb dongle have windows drivers available?
[05:04] <stiltzkin> overclucker, yes, but since I'm on PowerPC, it doesn't matter.
[05:04] <overclucker> ndiswrapper works on ppc, but only if you have windows drivers for the device.
[05:04] <giiker> anyone know what gvfsd-http does ?
[05:05] <stiltzkin> overclucker, sure ndiswrapper will work, but the drivers themselves can't work...they're written for x86 processors since no version of Windows runs on PPC
[05:05] <jigynet> anyone know how i can remove tmp,cache,cookies completely? is there any helpful software?
[05:07] <ruan> jigynet: bleachbit
[05:07] <jigynet> thx
[05:08] <ruan> the linux equivalent of ccleaner
[05:08] <stiltzkin> overclucker, It's even on the ndiswrapper FAQ...the software runs on PPC but the drivers do not. That's my problem
[05:09] <subcool> Hey- i recently got some help, and it didnt work out- I am trying to install my Built-in web cam.. and installing Cheese didnt work.
[05:09] <subcool> googling it is getting me no where..
[05:11] <giiker> subcool: you just want to use your webcam right!?
[05:11] <subcool> ...? ya-
[05:11] <stiltzkin> lsusb returns "NetGear, Inc. WG111(v1) rev 2 54Mbps Wireless [Intersil Prism54 Intersil 3886]
[05:11] <giiker> have you used Gimp?
[05:12] <stiltzkin> So it's a prism54 card. Are there open source drivers for that that I might compile on PPC?
[05:12] <subcool> what else would i be trying to do?? - u got me curious on that one..
[05:12] <dannyLopez68> http://pastebin.com/YXehS5vR alguien any idea?
[05:12] <subcool> gimp? -- nah
[05:12] <subcool> installing gimp now
[05:13] <giiker> subcool: if you can import an image from your webcam in gimp, you mostly sure can get any image off the webcam
[05:13] <dannyLopez68> http://pastebin.com/YXehS5vR any idea?
[05:13] <giiker> subcool: through anything else
[05:14] <giiker> well ifgimp recognizes the webcam and gets iamges, it means drivers are ok
[05:16] <subcool> giiker, how does gimp import live webcam feeds?
[05:17] <giiker> dannyLopez68: what are you trying to do?
[05:17] <dannyLopez68> giiker: I have no idea
[05:17] <giiker> live webcam, hmm only pics mate
[05:18] <subcool> lol - hahhaha
[05:18] <subcool> im trying to install any drivers to make my webcam work
[05:19] <giiker> dannyLopez68: ok
[05:19] <needlez> Elektroid: well with it changed to succeed it still gave auth failed, then when tried to use switch user it stalled the login and forced me to reboot, think could be the gnome-screensaver set up also
[05:20] <needlez> anyone  in ubuntu please post your etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver file, wanna check to see what the default is for ubuntu compaired to what I have
[05:20] <giiker> subcool: what's your model?
[05:21] <subcool> HP DV5- 2035
[05:21] <Echo9er> XT989UT#ABA < can someone confirm that this model is ubuntu compliant?
[05:22] <giiker> subcool: run lsusb
[05:23] <giiker> subcool: HP DV5- 2035, that's just your laptop model, run lsusb
[05:24] <needlez> FIXED!!!
[05:24] <needlez> yes
[05:24] <needlez> FIXED!!
[05:24] <subcool> i see my usb
[05:24] <hiexpo> hola all
[05:25] <elektroid> needlez: what was it?
[05:25] <needlez> Elektroid:  it was the gnome-screensaver file,... needed to add @include common-account; @include common-password; @include common-auth
[05:25] <subcool> giiker, all i see is my usb hub,
[05:26] <needlez> lol, looked at login unix section and it explained what happend
[05:26] <elektroid> ah so you only had that line in the config altogether
[05:27] <needlez> no each seperated, but yea, it was missing the password and account and the way fedora sets it up is much different, so thats why it wasnt working with the other config
[05:27] <needlez> lol
[05:27] <needlez> thank you very much
[05:27] <giiker> subcool: what about: dmesg | grep webcam
[05:28] <subcool> nada
[05:28] <needlez> well now, im happy :D
[05:28] <needlez> subcool: sup?? you trying to find your webcam??
[05:28] <stiltzkin> Can anyone explain what this error means? "*** KERNELPATH:/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-powerpc/build does not exist. Stop."
[05:28] <hiexpo> needlez, soyour running fedora
[05:28] <giiker> Echo9er: you might want to try a live CD first!
[05:28] <Echo9er> what?
[05:29] <elektroid> hiexpo: no its me with fedora
[05:29] <hiexpo> oh ok elektroid
[05:29] <awanti> Hi
[05:29] <[deXter]> Hi all
[05:29] <[thor]> !livecd
[05:30] <Echo9er> i dont wanna buy it and not have it working
[05:30] <[deXter]> I've got a gnome panel on the left side that's sort of hidden, except for a 1 pixel coloumn which is visible
[05:30] <[deXter]> how do I unhide or get rid of it?
[05:30] <[thor]> Echo9er: it's free, and always has been
[05:30] <subcool> needlez, ya-
[05:30] <[thor]> Echo9er: www.ubuntu.com
[05:30] <Echo9er> the computer isnt....
[05:30] <subcool> needlez, and install it
[05:30] <Echo9er> i need to know before hand
[05:30] <stiltzkin> No seriously guys, what does that error mean...it's the only thing keeping me from solving my problem
[05:30] <[thor]> oh that
[05:31] <elektroid> subcool: which webcam are you using and do you already have v4l installed? most cams work without needing more than that
[05:31] <giiker> Echo9er: you might want to burn a Live CD, burn it, and ask people @ the store if you can try you CD
[05:31] <sheenams> i have a question about ssh
[05:31] <needlez> subcool: internel webcam?? or external through usb??
[05:31] <Goome> how would i make it so /usr/bin/ping can only be executed by root?
[05:31] <Echo9er> im ordering it online
[05:32] <subcool> elektroid, i have a builtin webcam on my laptop
[05:32] <giiker> Echo9er: some stores will say, Ok!
[05:32] <subcool> needlez, see above
[05:32] <elektroid> subcool: you know the brand-mode?
[05:32] <needlez> oh
[05:32] <elektroid> model*
[05:32] <subcool> elektroid, no- its builtin- i would say HP. lol
[05:32] <hiexpo> cheese
[05:32] <giiker> Echo9er: you might want to try to look for a similar one on a local store and go there!
[05:32] <[thor]> Echo9er: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification
[05:32] <subcool> hiexpo, installed already
[05:32] <Echo9er> local stores have crap
[05:32] <[thor]> Echo9er: has all the hardware by manufacturer/etc
[05:33] <Echo9er> kk
[05:33] <elektroid> subcool: if you gave us the HP laptop model perhaps we could then know what cam you are actually using if you dont know
[05:33] <giiker> Echo9er: ok then, then don buy it!
[05:33] <Goome> how would i make it so /usr/bin/ping can only be executed by root?
[05:33] <hiexpo> should work with cheese especially hp
[05:33] <elektroid> because its down to specific webcam to know which drivers are needed
[05:33] <subcool> elektroid, HP DV5 2035 -
[05:33] <sheenams> quick question about ssh, ls lists nothing but cd /.ssh finds ssh directory. Help?
[05:33] <subcool> dont be snippy- i have restated this 5 times already, just ask.
[05:34] <giiker> sorry, OPs, but it's always like this @ this time, too many trolls
[05:34] <rww> sheenams: dotfiles aren't shown in ls by default. use "ls -a" (All) instead
[05:34] <rww> giiker: then ignore them. feeding them makes things worse.
[05:34] <sheenams> rww: that gives .  ..
[05:34] <subcool> what command can i give to give a more specific desciption?
[05:34] <root_> ?
[05:34] <rww> sheenams: presumably because you changed directory to ~/.ssh ;)
[05:34] <Goome> how would i make it so /usr/bin/ping can only be executed by root?
[05:35] <hiexpo> great batteries dieing in mouse
[05:35] <elektroid> subcool: you have a HP TrueVision cam
[05:35] <[thor]> !permissions | Goome
[05:35] <root_> ?
[05:36] <subcool> elektroid, thank u-
[05:36] <stiltzkin> I'm almost there...fixed my previous error message by installing kernel headers. Now I get "fatal error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory." How can I fix that?
[05:36] <giiker> rww: I know, sometimes I just doubt my judgment on trolls, anyway...
[05:36] <sheenams> rww: im following directions at github. it says to cd ~/.ssh then ls to find the kepair.
[05:36] <uberbob> hi, i am having a problem where a ubuntu box refuses to change hostname, the names in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are fine yet hostname and hostname -f are wrong (and yet many reboots have been done)
[05:36] <rww> sheenams: if you did ls inside ~/.ssh and you only see . and .., then you have no keypair.
[05:36] <Goome> [thor]: 700 would do fine?
[05:37] <rww> or none in there, anyway
[05:37] <sheenams> rww: Thanks!
[05:38] <elektroid> subcool: can you not get it to load in cheese?
[05:38] <hiexpo> allbetter
[05:38] <elektroid> I believe the v4l drivers are already on there, so it should just work
[05:39] <giiker> sheenams: u need to generate them first...
[05:39] <ejv> uberbob: you know you could just restart the hostname service in /etc/init.d/ lol
[05:39] <[thor]> Goome: you need to chown the file to root as well
[05:39] <ejv> rebooting is overkill ;)
[05:39] <stiltzkin> Nobody?
[05:39] <subcool> elektroid, no i cant..
[05:39] <Jon--> I am unable to add anyone to my MSN on Ubuntu 10.04 using Pidgin 2.7.9 (libpurple 2.7.9). I always get the message "Unable to add the buddy EMAIL_HERE@hotmail.com because the username is invalid.  Usernames must be valid email addresses.  Any ideas?  I hve
[05:39] <Jon--> Shit. Sorry. Bad enter key.
[05:39] <FloodBot2> Jon--: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:39] <uberbob> your not helping
[05:39] <sheenams> giiker: i know that now. the tutorial i'm following said it would give me an error if there wasn't one, but it didn't give me the error so I assumed there was one
[05:40] <Jon--> I am unable to add anyone to my MSN on Ubuntu 10.04 using Pidgin 2.7.9 (libpurple 2.7.9). I always get the message "Unable to add the buddy EMAIL_HERE@hotmail.com because the username is invalid.  Usernames must be valid email addresses.  Any ideas?  I have asked in #pidgin already, but it's much less active, figured I'd ask here.
[05:40] <ejv> uberbob: did you try restarting via the init script?
[05:40] <ejv> (im referring to the hostname service)
[05:40] <subcool> elektroid, or.. it hasnt...
[05:40] <[deXter]> So, any ideas folks?
[05:40] <elektroid> ?
[05:41] <subcool> elektroid, cheese didnt make it work
[05:41] <Chr|s> is there a channel for team speak here?
[05:41] <hiexpo> jon_relax ok with pidgin and hotmail nothing special is needed when you opened pidgin you should have  got a welcome right
[05:41] <giiker> sheenams: ok, good luck setting up your keypair, and please don't skip the part where it asks for passphrase...
[05:41] <needlez> subcool: can you generate the lspci for that device so I can get the exact info for it?
[05:41] <Chr|s> I am having issues with my headset working for Team Speak
[05:42] <Jon--> hiexpo: I have used Pidgin for a while as my MSN client. It's just that lately it stopped allowing me to add buddies.
[05:42] <subcool> certainly
[05:42] <uberbob> just did sudo service hostname start and it didnt help
[05:42] <elektroid> needlez: you need lsmod
[05:42] <ejv> i'd check the ubuntuforums Chr|s
[05:42] <Jon--> hiexpo: Always telling me that their email is invalid, even if I know for a fact it isn't.
[05:42] <ejv> (http://ubuntuforums.org)
[05:42] <hiexpo> Jon--, oh so you can log in but not add buddies
[05:42] <needlez> ahh my bad, i see,
[05:43] <Jon--> hiexpo: Correct. returns error message, I pasted into my message above ^
[05:43] <giiker> Jon--: I have been able to add contactsin amsn, if you want to try other client
[05:43] <subcool> needlez, nothing in the output mentioned webcam. all the output contained CPU and ATI
[05:43] <Chr|s> ejv, thanks
[05:43] <Jon--> giiker: Pidgin interfaces nicely with alerts. I'm also used to the interface. I've considered changing clients, but I'd rather stick with them if I can for now, so I'd like to try and fix this.
[05:43] <hanasaki> what is a good tool for administrating users / groups in LDAP for id/password/group/samba
[05:43] <needlez> subcool: lsmod sorry got mixed up
[05:44] <hiexpo> jon_i just added one to my hotmail last night and no problem so maybe it is a invalid email
[05:44] <subcool> its ok- im relearning the command
[05:44] <Matisse> hi
[05:44] <Jon--> hanasaki: Windows.  Not trolling, but it's very hard to do in Ubuntu I find.
[05:44] <subcool> can i lsmod | webcam or something?
[05:44] <needlez> just pastbin the output
[05:44] <giiker> Jon--: have you been able to use the webcam with pidgin and msn, i've had no succes at all
[05:44] <hanasaki> Jon--:  you mean active dir?
[05:44] <Jon--> giiker: MSN changed protocol no FOSS client can use webcams anymore
[05:44] <Matisse> theres a directory /home/a/.mozilla/firefox-3.5.abandoned   ... what's that all about?
[05:45] <Jon--> hiexpo: It's done it to any email I try.. The last 5-10 from 5-10 different people. I doubt that that is the issue.
[05:45] <hanasaki> Jon--:  and giiker what about gmail and pidgin
[05:45] <Jon--> To be honest, Meebo does a better job than Pidgin and aMSN at features/webcam/etc. -_-'
[05:45] <Jon--> But I don't want a web based client
[05:45] <Jon--> I am unable to add anyone to my MSN on Ubuntu 10.04 using Pidgin 2.7.9 (libpurple 2.7.9). I always get the message "Unable to add the buddy EMAIL_HERE@hotmail.com because the username is invalid.  Usernames must be valid email addresses. " Any ideas?  I hve
[05:46] <Jon--> Sorry, wrong message. -_-'
[05:46] <xangua> update pidgin Jon--
[05:46] <Jon--> xangua: I have the latest version from http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/
[05:46] <xangua> 2.7.9 is not 'latest'
[05:46] <Jon--> It's the latest repository supported..
[05:47] <Jon--> Are you suggesting I compile from source?
[05:47] <ejv> probably a ppa via launchpad
[05:47] <Jon--> Any resource on Pidgin site for installing onto Ubuntu links to http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ on their site. They don't support any packages beyond 2.7.9 it seems.
[05:47] <xangua> so the pidgin ppa has no latest
[05:47] <Jon--> (currently)
[05:48] <Dwood> I need help fixing a problem with my sounds on Ubuntu. Anyone care to help?
[05:48] <Jon--> Dwood: !ask
[05:48] <xangua> try getdeb.net repository, i got 2.7.11 from there i believe Jon--
[05:48] <Jon--> Shit, wrong bot macro, sorry.
[05:48] <Jon--> Just ask.
[05:48] <Dwood> lol
[05:48] <ejv> !language | Jon--
[05:49] <elektroid> subcool: you can also ls /dev/video and then try vlc v4l2:///dev/video*
[05:49] <giiker> hanasaki: gtalk works fine, but last time i tried to chat with webcam with my wife @ home it did not work
[05:49] <elektroid> sorry ls /dev/video*
[05:49] <Dwood> first: need to get my buntu version...
[05:49] <hanasaki> giiker:  did you need to use the google plugins to the apt sources? BRB
[05:50] <Jon--> I am unable to add anyone to my MSN on Ubuntu 10.04 using Pidgin 2.7.9 (libpurple 2.7.9). I always get the message "Unable to add the buddy EMAIL_HERE@hotmail.com because the username is invalid.  Usernames must be valid email addresses."  Any ideas?  I have asked in #pidgin already, but it's much less active, figured I'd ask here.
[05:50] <ejv> can you stop repeating, for the love of god
[05:50] <Jon--> xangua: Will getdeb replace my other package for pidgin  or will it be named differently in aptitude?
[05:51] <xangua> will update/replace Jon--
[05:51] <elektroid> subcool: you still there?
[05:51] <Jon--> xangua: apt-get update did not find an update for pidgin
[05:51] <giiker> harisund: i have the plugins installed, maybe it was because we were on the same LAN, i don't know I could chat but not webcam conversation, weird....
[05:51] <Jon--> After installing the getdeb repo
[05:51] <subcool_> bah - got disconnected
[05:51] <Jon--> Oh
[05:51] <Jon--> Yes it did.
[05:51] <Jon--> I apologise.
[05:51] <subcool_> http://pastebin.com/pmgpq5xa
[05:51] <elektroid> ah subcool, do lsmod | grep video
[05:51] <Dwood> Upon starting Ubuntu every time, the sound manager uses the previously set volume level as the MAX volume level
[05:52] <Dwood> This is not okay.
[05:52] <Jon--> How bleeding edge are these packages, quite safe and stable?
[05:52] <giiker> Jon--: i'm going to try to add someone on pidgin right now
[05:52] <Jon--> giiker: Alright.
[05:52] <subcool_> video                  20623  0
[05:52] <subcool_> output                  2503  1 video
[05:52] <Jon--> giiker: I wasn't getting any problems for the longest time, then 3-4 days ago, out of the blue, I cannot add anyone.
[05:52] <Dwood> Can someone help me with my sound issue?
[05:52] <_jesse_> hey all having some issues with ssh and public key authentication; same private key works on one system, but not on another. Gives the follwing output: http://pastebin.com/4YWBzaD8
[05:52] <hanasaki> giiker:  did you need to use the google plugins to the apt sources? BRB
[05:52] <Jon--> Ahhh
[05:52] <Jon--> From #pidgin "bug fixed in 2.7.11
[05:53] <elektroid> subcool_:  and ls /dev/video* please
[05:53] <elektroid> if you get video0 and have vlc we can try testing it on there
[05:54] <needlez> elektroid: i looked over his lsmod and it shows no uvc or v4l area, however shows video0
[05:54] <Dwood> Every time I start ubuntu it uses the previously set sound level as the maximum sound level
[05:54] <subcool_> ls: cannot access /dev/video: No such file or directory
[05:54] <giiker> Jon--: ha ha, just got the same error like you
[05:54] <Jon--> giiker: From #pidgin they said the bug is fixed in 2.7.11  Are you running 2.7.9?
[05:54] <Dwood> Like if I set it to half sound, then the next time I start it up half is now as if the sound was turned up all the way
[05:54] <elektroid> needlez: yeah its just video using raw output module
[05:55] <giiker> Jon--: let me see
[05:55] <elektroid> I am trying to find out if truevision is v4l compatible
[05:55] <giiker> Jon--: mine is 2.6.6
[05:55] <elektroid> if so, then loading that driver should fix it
[05:55] <lolsies> hey guys please can i ask you to rate OSKit compared to other tools
[05:55] <subcool_> im glad u guys know about this- cause im soo puzzled
[05:56] <Jon--> giiker: Damn. well, to fix, compile from source or install the getdeb repositories. #pidgin says "Jon--: package builds are done by different people, unfortunately"
[05:57] <giiker> Jon--: let me try
[05:57] <jblpxh> when is ubuntu 10.10 server going to upgrade to apache 2.2.17 in apt?
[05:57] <jblpxh> it came out december 2010
[05:57] <Jon--> giiker: I'm confident this will fix it. Pidgin is aware of the bug, it's just that their PPA is not up to date.
[05:58] <Dwood> Can someone help me with a sound issue?????
[05:58] <elektroid> subcool_: which Ubuntu are you using?
[05:58] <subcool_> 10.04
[05:59] <rww> !latest | jblpxh
[05:59] <Dwood> I'm using 10.04 and have an issue with the sound, can someone help me set it up?
[05:59] <jblpxh> ubottu
[05:59] <jblpxh> :(
[05:59] <Dwood> I hate to continue repeating my question
[06:00] <Dwood> Just only 1 support channel is kind of...
[06:00] <Dwood> sad
[06:00] <Tohuw> !enter | Dwood
[06:00] <elektroid> Dwood: this time of day is hard to get good live support
[06:00] <Chr|s> Dwood, copy and paste is a great feature
[06:01] <subcool_> elektroid, idk about that- i get better help now then during the day
[06:01] <rww> when used appropriately, in 15 minute intervals
[06:02] <Tohuw> Dwood: There are 1k+ users in this channel at any given time. This is much more useful than a few users in many channels. There are in fact multiple Ubuntu support channels, though this is the one for Ubuntu desktop. Your best bet is to repeat your question every 15-ish minutes. If someone has an answer, they'll answer.
[06:02] <giiker> Jon--: have you tried to build it yourself yet?
[06:02] <Dwood> Tohuw: all right. I'll try every now and then.
[06:02] <elektroid> subcool_: if you have ekiga installed(most likely) give that a run see if your cam works, otherwise all I can find is sites mentioning to install the uvc drivers from source
[06:03] <needlez> Dwood: sound issue??
[06:03] <Tohuw> Dwood: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[06:03] <subcool_> elektroid, installing now-
[06:03] <subcool_> i found a couple helps that include installing from source, but when i went to follow the guide- the links were no good
[06:03] <Dwood> Tohuw, already tried that. needlez: when starting Ubuntu every time, the sound manager uses the previously set volume level as the max volume level
[06:04] <ubuntu> hi
[06:04] <elektroid> subcool_: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/
[06:04] <giiker> Jon--: source is heavy
[06:04] <Jon--> giiker: lol. Yes, it's no fun.
[06:05] <Tohuw> Dwood: meaning when you restart, the highest you can set your sound is whatever it was set to before restarting?
[06:06] <Jon--> giiker: Are you having trouble?
[06:06] <subcool_> elektroid, nothing was found
[06:06] <elektroid> what do you mean?
[06:06] <Jon--> giiker: I can help you if you like. Ironic, you tried to help me fix problem, and in doing so, you realized you also have problem, and now I can help you fix it. Hahaha.
[06:06] <elektroid> the site is there, I am on it now

[06:06] <subcool_> elektroid, well, after installing ekiga... nothing was found when trying to test the video
[06:07] <elektroid> oohhh
[06:07] <elektroid> got ya

[06:07] <nishant> my synaptic is not working
[06:07] <Jon--> giiker: I just installed the getdeb repository, it has a later verison of pidgin
[06:07] <giiker> Jon--: I do think I'll make it
[06:08] <elektroid> subcool_: looks like you are just going to need to install from source, I ve been looking in my usual spots and thats all I ve seen
[06:08] <giiker> Jon--: I don't think I'll make it

[06:08] <damien> \server irc.recycled-irc.net
[06:08] <subcool_> elektroid, thanks- all i got is google, and i get bs...
[06:09] <subcool_> what kinda cam do i have again?
[06:09] <subcool_> truevision
[06:09] <elektroid> yeah HP TrueVision
[06:09] <Chr|s> if I were to creat a launcher to open a program how would I add this command "padsp teamspeak"?
[06:09] <dr0id> hello friends
[06:09] <dr0id> howz it goin
[06:10] <giiker> Jon--: I was going to do evrything in virtual box, but then I said naaah, too long, i like pidgin too for their alerts, reminds me of Irc alerts somehow!
[06:10] <giiker> Jon--: will give it a try in the ffuture though
[06:10] <subcool_> according to ur website, my cam isnt supported
[06:10] <giiker> Jon--: it's a shame how Big Corporations shut us out though!
[06:11] <mean> i have two kernel ,but i always start with 2.6.32-24,how to change to 2.6.32-27?
[06:11] <Jon--> giiker: Not really.
[06:11] <giiker> Jon--: I meant MS...
[06:12] <Gadu> I'm choosing between 2 nearly identical graphics cards. Option 1 supports OpenGL 4.1 whereas Option 2 only supports 3.2 but it is slightly faster. (both are Radeon HD 6850 from same brand)
[06:12] <Gadu> What are the advantages of going up to 4.1 from 3.2?
[06:12] <Jon--> giiker: Microsoft has a closed source product that is designed to allow people to chat with other people who, most often, have their email account and choose to use their product. Should they be more open? Sure. Should we get mad or require it of them? I'm not sure you really can. It's within their rights to be competitive and keep their source closed, even if it makes us mad.
[06:12] <sacarlson>  mean: I use the gui startup-manager to change grub2 settings
[06:12] <Tohuw> Gadu: http://www.opengl.org/documentation/current_version/
[06:13] <Tohuw> Google is your friend, Gadu
[06:13] <Bing0> Hi.  Ubuntu 10.10 -- I have a flash issue(not speed, and full-screen works fine) on different computers with different browsers.  If I load a flash video(youtube for ex) and scroll down the flash video follows the page...also if I have other tabs open the flash overlays the other tabs.  Any ideas or anyone else having this issue?  Thanks.
[06:13] <Gadu> Tohuw: should have thought of it that way, kept searching OpenGL 3.2 vs 4.1 soft of thing which is pretty dead
[06:13] <giiker> Jon--: wau, by the speed of your typing I might venture to say you had that in a file and copied it, but who  knows right, haha!
[06:14] <Jon--> giiker: Nope, just a software developer who also chatted on MSN too much as a child.
[06:14] <Jon--> giiker: My keyboard and me are good friends ;)
[06:14] <nishant> hello , why my touchpad not workng
[06:14] <Gadu> Tohuw: thanks for the correct direction XD
[06:14] <sacarlson> mean: take a look at http://www.techienote.com/2010/10/changing-default-boot-option-in-ubuntu-10-10.html
[06:14] <Bing0> Gadu, have you googled your make/model with ubuntu 10.10 and tablet as keywords?
[06:14] <Bing0> err.. nish
[06:14] <Bing0> nishant,  have you googled your make/model with ubuntu 10.10 and tablet as keywords?
[06:15] <giiker> Jon--: you are my keyboard master, then! no joking eh!!
[06:15] <nishant> it was working fine ...stopped suddenly
[06:15] <Tohuw> You're welcome, Gadu
[06:15] <Bing0> nishant, does it work in another user account? have you tried a live cd to ensure the touchpad itself is functional?
[06:15] <nishant> no I can check in windows wait will be back

[06:16] <giiker> Jon--: I know all of your argument, and heard it many times, but I have seen many like MS do this and it has always been just to shut us out!
[06:16] <Gadu> Bing0: Tablet?
[06:16] <Bing0> Gadu, it was a tab completion typo..plz ignore
[06:17] <Gadu> Bing0: ah ok, i did find the necessary information to setup the graphics card properly with Ubuntu 10.10
[06:17] <giiker> Jon--: we'd better stop, before ubottu sends us to the cafe channel

[06:18] <jsoft> How to take screenshot?
[06:19] <sacarlson> jsoft <alt> printscreen

[06:20] <Gadu> Guest26494: I will in a PM if that is suitable for your test
[06:20] <ihack4fun> Thats a four letter word
[06:20] <subcool_> Jon--, its a laptop---
[06:20] <Guest26494> gadu that would be great
[06:21] <Jon--> subcool_: What's your problem?
[06:21] <Guest26494> i made an xchat profanity filter

[06:21] <subcool_> couple the guys were helping me..
[06:21] <giiker> Jon--: don't even go there, this afternoon, i learned how to use almost all screen keybindings, and I haven used irc commands in a long time, less dcc
[06:21] <Jon--> subcool_: You either need to get out (stay in?) more, or that was just a terrible troll.
[06:21] <subcool_> just trying to install my webcam
[06:21] <subcool_> troll?
[06:21] <elektroid> subcool_: your laptop is too new, you will have to try installing the drivers as I mentioned
[06:22] <elektroid> or try the newest version of Ubuntu
[06:22] <Jon--> giiker:   /msg Jon-- yo
[06:22] <subcool_> elektroid, working on it
[06:22] <giiker> subcool_: you have been trying to install your Webcam for the last 2 hours! come on, get some sleep!
[06:23] <subcool_> giiker, no- my gf has been giving me shit for 2 days
[06:23] <elektroid> subcool_: your webcam may very well not be supported by Linux
[06:23] <subcool_> elektroid, like everything else i purchase
[06:23] <Dwood> I have issues with brightness buttons on my laptop, someone want to help me out?
[06:23] <elektroid> I cant find anything except a few instances which is why I mentioned those drivers
[06:24] <hiexpo> wow u guys still messing with thatWB CAM
[06:24] <elektroid> otherwise, try getting another cam that is supported
[06:24] <Dwood> Ubuntu recognizes the buttons that they should change the brightness but nothing happens!
[06:24] <Jon--> Someone could have written him a driver by now.
[06:24] <elektroid> Jon--: by all means
[06:24] <Dwood> Well the brightness dialog comes up but it doesn't actually do anything!
[06:25] <Jon--> elektroid: D: Maybe. I have limited driver writing experience however ;P
[06:25] <subcool_> elektroid, i have two- but they suck
[06:25] <elektroid> subcool_: well, you may be in better luck if you have an older cam

[06:25] <subcool_> im noticing
[06:26] <elektroid> unfortunately, anything cutting edge is unsupported or extremely buggy in Linux
[06:26] <Jon--> _jesse_: Unknown Paste ID!
[06:26] <elektroid> unless you buy things specifically oriented for the unix world
[06:26] <giiker> subcool_: you should go to the same store where you bought your laptop and tell them it doesn't work in DOS and get a refund, then when you get a replacement come back here and then we can help you
[06:26] <subcool_> im use to it-
[06:26] <Jon--> Except things that actually matter, like solid state drives
[06:26] <Dwood> Kinect was supported within 3 hours of its release...
[06:26] <Jon--> Where the Linux kernel actually had better support than Win7 for a while.
[06:26] <subcool_> my gf is just mad she bought me a new laptop- and i refuse to install windows on it
[06:26] <_jesse_> Jon--: hrm it must have expired
[06:26] <_jesse_> one moment
[06:26] <elektroid> Jon--: as I said, if it isnt already something the unix world supports
[06:27] <subcool_> giiker, lol- i wish. but this thing is 6 months old
[06:27] <nishant> anyone can tell me why snyaptics touchpad not coming up http://pastebin.com/mejjFSVK

[06:28] <jekin> hey need a help ... I have some problem with Ubuntu ..... I have a Nvidia FX5500 card which causes the booting from hard disk or live CD to fail ......  when i try the text mode this following message is comming up
[06:28] <jekin> No init found try parsing init=bootarg
[06:29] <Jon--> _jesse_: And you did ssh-add on your client PC correct?
[06:29] <MTecknology> what app is there for ripping cd's?
[06:29] <elektroid> to iso?
[06:29] <Dannyd> hi i have a ubuntu installed on a computer at home. But no internet connection. How can I update that computer, (can I get a list of packages from the update manager and go to an internet cafe and download them in some sort of automatic way)?
[06:29] <elektroid> you can use dd
[06:29] <jigynet> !deep scan
[06:29] <jigynet> =/
[06:29] <_jesse_> Jon--: yeah, and I tried it with ssh -i too
[06:29] <jekin> any idea on how i can atleast boot to text mode
[06:29] <giiker> Jon--: weird it did not work
[06:29] <MTecknology> elektroid: to any audio format that I can toss onto my phone
[06:30] <elektroid> ah ok CD to mp3 then?
[06:30] <MTecknology> ya
[06:30] <giiker> damn, my neighboors are fighting again!
[06:30] <MTecknology> i remember sound juicer from way way back.. i'm guessing there's a lot better now
[06:30] <elektroid> Dannyd: use apt-rdepends [name of package] and download those
[06:30] <Dwood> I have an issue with the brightness controls for my laptop. Someone willing to help?
[06:31] <tmandry> I'm stuck in lucid and I need to install ant 1.8 which isn't in the tree - how can I do this?
[06:31] <Jon--> _jesse_: Sorry I have to go to bed shortly  please find someone else to assist you.
[06:31] <JetBoyJetGirl> hint Dwood: just ask your question
[06:32] <sacarlson> jekin: can you try holding shift at boot and select recover boot or single user boot?
[06:32] <elektroid> MTecknology: sound juicer is still the main but you can look at everything here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping
[06:32] <JetBoyJetGirl> not sure if anyone in here would be able to help though tbh
[06:32]  * rww uses k3b for CD ripping <3
[06:32] <Dwood> I press the buttons on my laptop to control brightness, ubuntu recognizes them but the brightness does not change!
[06:32] <elektroid> that site has a ton, kaudiocreator, k3b, and soundjuicer so I figured the site was better
[06:33] <MTecknology> elektroid: thanks
[06:33] <andrew_46> MTecknology: This is an old guide of mine that might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535950
[06:33] <jekin> sacarlson ....... i tried the recover mode but it also gives init not found error
[06:34] <elektroid> I am glad someone else likes k3b, I ve always liked it over Brasero
[06:34] <giiker> _jesse_: what are you trying to do again
[06:34] <Dannyd>  elektroid: once i do that the update manager will detect that they were installed right?
[06:34] <sacarlson> jekin: I guess your boot media must have mest up.  try boot a livecd and try mount the root partition to see if it's intact
[06:34] <giiker> ?
[06:34] <Dannyd> if i install the packages using dpkg -i
[06:34] <hiexpo> ya but k3b is kde
[06:34] <elektroid> Dannyd: hopefully, I ve been in a similar situation
[06:35] <elektroid> no internet and needing to grab packages from another pc
[06:35] <Chr|s> how do I make a bash script run from launcher?
[06:35]  * rww uses KDE <3
[06:35] <Dannyd> ok will try
[06:35] <elektroid> hiexpo: well, something wrong with using KDE apps?
[06:35] <Dannyd> thanks  elektroid:
[06:35] <elektroid> k3b works fine with the right libs in gnome
[06:35] <_jesse_> giiker: use ssh with pka; I think I might be onto something though
[06:35] <hiexpo> to each is own
[06:36] <ihack4fun> K3b good for DVD movie backups
[06:36] <ihack4fun> ?
[06:36] <giiker> _jesse_: what's your error?
[06:36] <jekin> sacarlson .. the boot CD also fails actually .......  it kind of freezes midway ... also tried the safe graphics mode while booting from CD still fails ......... as long as i am using the GFX card none of linux distro (tried fedora Kubuntu ubuntu)  fail to boot
[06:36] <elektroid> ihack4fun: as in to make .iso?
[06:37] <_jesse_> giiker: http://pastebin.com/dTkpEXtu
[06:37] <_jesse_> giiker: it looks like I didn't actually ssh-add this most recent key pair gen though
[06:37] <giiker> _jesse_: wait, can you delete known_hosts?
[06:37] <ihack4fun> I want to make bacup copies of my purchased movie DVDs
[06:37] <_jesse_> I think it's ok now
[06:37] <caffeinegum> hey all
[06:37] <giiker> _jesse_: ok
[06:38] <elektroid> ihack4fun: so why not just make a disk dump per and simple dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso
[06:38] <_jesse_> giiker: though I'm surprised ssh-agent refused to use the key even with the -i flag on ssh
[06:38] <elektroid> pure*
[06:38] <realsifo> hi. how to install nvidia driver on ubuntu?
[06:38] <jekin> easy way is hardware>drives
[06:38] <MTecknology> !nvidia
[06:38] <realsifo> thanks :)
[06:39] <ihack4fun> Because I didn't know how
[06:39] <elektroid> I bet a lot of people dont even look at the forums
[06:39] <_jesse_> giiker: thanks anyway
[06:39] <jekin> elektriod ... lol ....... or not ever do google search
[06:40] <MTecknology> gah... i need to use this system more often... >250 updates every time i turn it on is ridiculous
[06:40] <andrew_46> ihack4fun: There is the hard way documented here: http://www.andrews-corner.org/fist.html
[06:40] <giiker> _jesse_: shouldn't you be using 5.8 though?
[06:40] <MTecknology> maybe if i stop using +1 ..
[06:40] <cryptodira> totem is complaining about needing a 'dvd subpicture decoder' in order to play a dvd..... vlc does not play this  either...it just opens and closes.... suggestions??
[06:40] <elektroid> MTecknology: are they security updates only?
[06:40] <Dwood> I press the buttons on my laptop to control brightness, ubuntu recognizes them but the brightness does not change!
[06:40] <MTecknology> elektroid: nah; most aren't
[06:40] <van7hu> hi,I just getting started with python under ubuntu,yes,I could call 'python' from terminal,but how could I know the version of it?
[06:41] <MTecknology> pyrofallout: python -v
[06:41] <hitmoon> yes
[06:41] <elektroid> MTecknology: you dont need to update everytime a new release comes out and I personally advise against it, if you feel the need just update at every release
[06:41] <elektroid> ubuntu release
[06:41] <hitmoon> -v give you it's version
[06:41] <MTecknology> pyrofallout: python -V **
[06:41] <van7hu> yeah
[06:41] <giiker> _jesse_: read thi just in case: http://openssh.com/security.html
[06:41] <MTecknology> elektroid: I've been using natty for a few months now :P
[06:42] <van7hu> I used -v but does not work :)
[06:42] <MTecknology> pyrofallout: python -V <-- capital
[06:42] <MTecknology> van7hu: -v verbose && -V version
[06:43] <cryptodira> totem is complaining about needing a 'dvd subpicture decoder' in order to play a dvd..... vlc does not play this  either...it just opens and closes.... suggestions??  10.04.2  amd/64
[06:43] <van7hu> thanks
[06:43] <MTecknology> !repeat > cryptodira
[06:43] <airtonix> totem: qqmoar
[06:43] <elektroid> MTecknology: what I mean is that, you expose yourself to a lot of bugs by staying bleeding edge, if you have a version of something and its solid, stay with it unless you need new features
[06:43] <giiker> good night everyone, thanx for those who helped me tonight with screen, i really enjoyed it!! see you in the afterlife, if there is any!, I hope! :-)
[06:43] <MTecknology> elektroid: I'm just a bleeding edge person :P   I actually roll my own kernel too :)
[06:43] <Dwood> I press the buttons on my laptop to control brightness, ubuntu recognizes them but the brightness does not change!
[06:43] <MTecknology> !repeat > Dwood
[06:44] <elektroid> MTecknology: well, I guess its your computer, so do as you like
[06:44] <MTecknology> elektroid: i'm jobless for another week; spare time to do stuff like that :P
[06:44] <jigynet> what is "deep scan"
[06:44] <elektroid> that seems to be Ubuntu's trend anyway, constant updating
[06:44] <giiker> night
[06:45] <elektroid> I think Ubuntu was originally based off of Debian SID so that make sense
[06:45] <elektroid> different Linux philosophy
[06:45] <jigynet> MTecknology, roll your own kernal?
[06:46] <elektroid> and his own cigarettes
[06:46] <alhamdi> hei
[06:46] <hiexpo> ihack4fun, dvdbackup works great
[06:46] <jigynet> lol
[06:46] <MTecknology> elektroid: every version does imports from debian unstable; until a few months prior the auto sync is stopped
[06:46] <needlez> Dwood: you still there??
[06:46] <MTecknology> jigynet: setup and compile and install by hand; very very fun once you know what you're doing
[06:46] <hiexpo> ihack4fun, but gotta use terminal
[06:47] <elektroid> MTecknology: thats why I stopped using Ubuntu for a desktop, since 10.04 everything was overly buggy to me
[06:47] <ihack4fun> Use Dvdbackup in term?
[06:47] <jigynet> MTecknology,  meaning there is code that is tweakable for certain desireable things? and then re-compiled?
[06:47] <hiexpo> yep
[06:47] <Bing0> Hi.  Ubuntu 10.10 -- I have a flash issue(not speed, and full-screen works fine) on different computers with different browsers.  If I load a flash video(youtube for ex) and scroll down the flash video follows the page...also if I have other tabs open the flash overlays the other tabs.  Any ideas or anyone else having this issue?  Thanks.
[06:48] <jigynet> MTecknology, what would you change for instance?
[06:48] <ihack4fun> Syntax pretty easy?
[06:48] <jigynet> and why
[06:48] <elektroid> hell, I am using kernel 2.6.33 because of the realtime patch, I prefer that then the latest kernel just because
[06:48] <hiexpo> dvdbackup is a terminal app
[06:49] <elektroid> jigynet: there are a lot of modules that the normal kernel loads and processor functions that are unneeded
[06:49] <hiexpo> and works perfect
[06:49] <elektroid> a lot
[06:49] <elektroid> but I think the majority of Ubuntu users dont notice
[06:50] <nishant> my touchpad problem was because of the laptop key combination that disables touch pad , it remains intact even after boot
[06:50] <jigynet> lol processor functions? you would wnat as much cpu functions as possible..optimizations..
[06:50] <hiexpo> !dvdbackup
[06:50] <jigynet> couldn't these modules be uninstalled later without having to edit the code?
[06:50] <ihack4fun> Got it on Sourceforge thx
[06:50] <elektroid> jigynet: not optimizations, things like profiling and accounting which are extra overhead
[06:51] <MTecknology> jigynet: it all can be changed; the kernel you're using is about 4.3MB with about 132MB in modules  --  mine is 2.2MB total; no modules
[06:51] <MTecknology> no overhead of added jun
[06:51] <jigynet> 4.3gb?
[06:51] <MTecknology> that's an m, not a g
[06:51] <elektroid> a 4.3 gb kernel LOL
[06:51] <MTecknology> i don't think that's even possible
[06:51] <elektroid> imagine that thing loading up at start
[06:51] <MTecknology> lol
[06:52] <jigynet> well when you say kernal i think of it as the entire os
[06:52] <MTecknology> need 8GB ram
[06:52] <jigynet> not just one module
[06:52] <ihack4fun> Is there a terminal app for IRC
[06:52] <hiexpo> 4.3 gig kernal wow
[06:52] <jigynet> xD
[06:52] <Flannel> ihack4fun: irssi
[06:52] <andrew_46> ihack4fun: irssi
[06:52] <andrew_46> snap
[06:52] <elektroid> you arent going to have 4.3 gb in modules either
[06:52] <MTecknology> the kernel isn't just a module; it's what the whole os runs on
[06:52] <hiexpo> ihack4fun, yes
[06:52] <MTecknology> ihack4fun: irssi and weechat
[06:53] <knew> hi
[06:53] <ihack4fun> Cool one more torrents?
[06:53] <hiexpo> !hi
[06:53] <knew> ubuntu is NOT recognising the monitor I just plugged in
[06:53] <jigynet> kernal = similar to registry? contains code that allows the os to run etc?
[06:53] <knew> i'm on a laptop
[06:53] <elektroid> MTecknology: do you use a particular kernel version based on kernel.org or ubuntu stream release?
[06:53] <hiexpo> !hello
[06:53] <andrew_46> ihack4fun: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010780

[06:53] <HyperHoRse> hi, what version of ubuntu is the best version
[06:53] <elektroid> jigynet: the kernel is the vmlinuz and your /lib/modules
[06:53] <MTecknology> elektroid: latest from kernel.org
[06:53] <nishant> 10.10 is the latest
[06:54] <HyperHoRse> what version does mark shuttworth use on his personal
[06:54] <jigynet> chrobi, he's probably learning how to hack
[06:54] <hiexpo> !ubuntu
[06:54] <HyperHoRse> I have 10.10
[06:54] <MTecknology> nishant: it's the latest 'release' but 11.04 is available; i think it hit beta
[06:54] <knew> help me
[06:54] <hiexpo> !lts
[06:54] <HyperHoRse> What is better in 11.04?
[06:54] <knew> ubuntu is NOT recognising the monitor I just plugged in
[06:54] <[thor]> HyperHoRse: shuttleworth uses 12:12
[06:54] <elektroid> HyperHoRse: the best is the latest release that works best for your particular hardware
[06:54] <nishant> yes 11.04 will be released in april
[06:54] <knew> i'm on a laptop
[06:54] <HyperHoRse> thor: what is 12:12
[06:54] <iceroot> HyperHoRse: its not a stable release yet so forget about 11.04
[06:54] <jigynet> elektroid, so yes
[06:55] <iceroot> [thor]: please dont make fun of people here
[06:55] <HyperHoRse> iceroot: But what is better and more improved?
[06:55] <hiexpo> don't feed the trolls
[06:55] <nishant> how do i install driver for intel based graphics card inbuilt
[06:55] <knew> why won't ubuntu recognise my external monitor I plugged in?!
[06:55] <elektroid> jigynet: look at /boot/vmlinuz, it wont be 4.3 gb
[06:55] <iceroot> HyperHoRse: 11.04 is using a very important kernel-patch which should bring better desktop performance
[06:55] <ihack4fun> Chris got me on that one
[06:55] <jigynet> MTecknology, so what would i change to optimize a 64bit xubuntu for my atom netbook?
[06:56] <HyperHoRse> iceroot: I have only 512mb of ram
[06:56] <oven_> i mounted a network drive through nautilus..how do I figure out info about it through the terminal, using smb://harddrive/share/ won't work, and i don't know of a /dev name and uuid is what i want to figure out..
[06:56] <HyperHoRse> iceroot: Will the latest ubuntu always run with my low amount of memory.
[06:56] <iceroot> HyperHoRse: i think with 512mb ram, lubuntu is worth  look
[06:56] <jigynet> elektroid, i didnt say my kernal was 4.3gb i was thinking the numbers mt said were from the entire install
[06:56] <iceroot> HyperHoRse: not very good
[06:56] <HyperHoRse> iceroot: I also have a 512mb graphics card
[06:56] <iceroot> HyperHoRse: not if you are using ubuntu (with gnome)
[06:56] <HyperHoRse> iceroot: Yeah but my 512mb geforce takes care of opengl
[06:57] <HyperHoRse> icroot: I actually get ok peformance and can still play games.
[06:57] <iceroot> HyperHoRse: doesnt matter, applications are not using the ram of your vga
[06:57] <jigynet> hyper it will run
[06:57] <MTecknology> jigynet: depends; you first need to know what you're doing; then you deeply need to understand the inside of your system and how it all fits together; it's not as simple as just a change here and there and done
[06:57] <HyperHoRse> iceroot: is that actually true because I thought opengl takes care of all that
[06:57] <MTecknology> elektroid: so... m4a, flac, mp3 ??
[06:57] <jigynet> hyper only reason it runs in low gfx mode is because your drivers ar not installed properly
[06:57] <iceroot> HyperHoRse: its as i said
[06:58] <nishant> Folks , I think Ubuntu should allow by default http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/how-to-enable-intel-graphics-driver-for-ubuntu-10-10.html
[06:58] <HyperHoRse> jigynet: my peformance is not bad I can play games pretty good
[06:58] <elektroid> MTecknology: dont understand your question? which do I prefer? mp3 because of portability
[06:58] <jigynet> hyper what is your question about opengl specifically?
[06:58] <iceroot> !tab | jigynet
[06:58] <HyperHoRse> iceroot: Will ubuntu always support 512mb of ram
[06:58] <jigynet> a gefore 5500 for example support opengl 2.0 and previous versions
[06:58] <MTecknology> elektroid: if what your putting it on could understand anything; which would you use?
[06:58] <HyperHoRse> jigynet: What do you m ean
[06:59] <iceroot> HyperHoRse: its not a question of support, its a question about performance
[06:59] <HyperHoRse> jigynet: I mean open gl shouldn't it use all the graphics ram
[06:59] <hiexpo> i am just running a lappy and using ubuntu gnome and it runs fine
[06:59] <MTecknology> HyperHoRse: probably not 20yr from now where people can't believe we used to use DIMM's
[06:59] <elektroid> MTecknology: or if I want to give it to another person, I dont have to worry about it working or not
[06:59] <jigynet> most new games and hardcore cad and DCC uses opengl 3.0+
[06:59] <HyperHoRse> iceroot: more like a support question
[06:59] <nishant> ubuntu doest instal intel graphics driver default - why ?
[06:59] <Pete_> hello i need to no how to delete from comand line
[07:00] <hiexpo> run it till it breaks
[07:00] <HyperHoRse> MTecknology: 20years? Nah it would be sooner than that. Solid State drives are already here so its all gonna change horribly soon
[07:00] <MTecknology> elektroid: it was looking like m4a gives you some of the best compression without being too lossy - my phone will play anything
[07:00] <iceroot> nishant: maybe they are not free so they cant be on the cd
[07:00] <jigynet> HyperHoRse, no opengl wont use all the ram..textures and code fill ram..
[07:00] <HyperHoRse> jigynet: that sucks.
[07:00] <hiexpo> Pete_, google rm command
[07:00] <nishant> Right
[07:00] <HyperHoRse> How come ubuntu dont write their own drivers. Is it not possible
[07:00] <jigynet> HyperHoRse,  nop thats good actually
[07:00] <HyperHoRse> jigynet: why
[07:00] <elektroid> MTecknology: unless you are doing serious recording as a musician or working with audio tracks from video, m4a isnt going to be that much of an advantage
[07:00] <hiexpo> and ytour on your own Pete_
[07:01] <MTecknology> HyperHoRse: i have an ssd and when i boot up and run basic stuff for a day I don't end up using >1GB of the 4GB I have available until I start compiling stuff; firefox being most of that
[07:01] <jigynet> HyperHoRse, cause you dont want to fill; up ram at all
[07:01] <iceroot> hiexpo: if you dont want to help instead of just posting google please stop support here
[07:01] <HyperHoRse> jigynet: oh
[07:01] <HyperHoRse> 10.10 is pretty good.
[07:01] <jigynet> most directx 7-9 games uuse like 200-1gig at most
[07:01] <elektroid> Firefox appears to have a memory hole too, will eat up the majority of memory out of a common users processes
[07:02] <HyperHoRse> I have a problem with 10.10 though.
[07:02] <HyperHoRse> I real bad problem.
[07:02] <hiexpo> iceroot, so you want me to tell tell people how to use the rm command   . ok    I am a linux guy
[07:02] <HyperHoRse> The real bad problem is I cant run unity.
[07:02] <elektroid> LOL hiexpo
[07:02] <iceroot> hiexpo: i want that you give people good support if not we dont need you here
[07:02] <HyperHoRse> I think it is the problem to do with the fact unity doesn't use my graphics card drivers.
[07:02] <MTecknology> elektroid: abcde is pretty neat :)
[07:02] <HyperHoRse> I have a fairly new graphics card.
[07:02] <mean> i have 2 kernel but always start with 2.6.32-24,how to change to  2.6.32-27?
[07:02] <jigynet> unity?
[07:02] <iceroot> hiexpo: its fine if you are a linux guy a know a lot but that doesnt make a good support here
[07:03] <HyperHoRse> um the desktop thing
[07:03] <jigynet> you mean the unity3d players for battlestar gallactica?
[07:03] <HyperHoRse> the new one that came out
[07:03] <elektroid> mean: what do you mean at start up?
[07:03] <jigynet> hmm
[07:03] <elektroid> mean: if you are using grub its a simple selection at boot
[07:03] <elektroid> provided you have mention of the other kernel in grub
[07:03] <hiexpo> iceroot, i always give good support and always have i help in aircrack-ng backtrack-linux and pentoo
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> you know
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> when you login and stuff
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> and its like choose this one
[07:04] <hiexpo> and here in ubuntu
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> and you go into that one
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> and it has very simple control down the side
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> on the left
[07:04] <FloodBot2> HyperHoRse: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> and its like always freezing the computer
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> also why doesn't it use the nvidia graphics card drivers
[07:04] <elektroid> now we know why you are called HyperHoRse
[07:04] <jigynet> what version of unity would i get for the amd64 install?
[07:04] <HyperHoRse> yeah
[07:05] <HyperHoRse> im from www.atomicmpc.com.au
[07:05] <elektroid> you were created by a website?
[07:05] <[thor]> HyperHoRse: help with unity can probably be had in #ubuntu+1
[07:05] <jigynet> hyper it is using the gfx card, what makes you think its not?
[07:05] <HyperHoRse> cos when i go into appearance
[07:05] <HyperHoRse> it says it cant do extra.
[07:05] <jigynet> extra??
[07:06] <jigynet> what is that?
[07:06] <Chr|s> how can I make a bash file linkable through a launcher?
[07:06] <mean> elektroid, i installed startupmanage but the grub menu didnt show up.
[07:06] <Chr|s> for some reason its not opening up the file
[07:06] <HyperHoRse> go into appearance
[07:06] <HyperHoRse> then select extra
[07:06] <HyperHoRse> for extra desktop effects
[07:06] <jigynet> you need to download them?
[07:06] <HyperHoRse> no
[07:06] <HyperHoRse> i mean
[07:06] <jigynet> yes.
[07:06] <FloodBot2> HyperHoRse: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:06] <jigynet> xD
[07:06] <elektroid> mean: update /boot/grub/grub.conf and then do grub install
[07:06] <HyperHoRse> why doesn't unity work with them
[07:06] <HyperHoRse> i already have them
[07:07] <jigynet> oh k
[07:07] <HyperHoRse> im using them now
[07:07] <rww> HyperHoRse: Please stop abusing your enter key.
[07:07] <jigynet> he's not flooding....
[07:07] <MTecknology> yes he is
[07:07] <jigynet> he's talking to like 4 people lol
[07:07] <elektroid> mean: if when you compiled the new kernel and did make bzImage, it should have updated the grub.conf and should only need to do 'grub install'
[07:07] <HyperHoRse> what is ubuntu+1
[07:07] <rww> jigynet: Then they should probably start listening to the floodbots and not using their Enter key as punctuation.
[07:07] <lancel> its horSePower!
[07:07] <MTecknology> HyperHoRse: the next version of ubuntu
[07:08] <hiexpo> Pete_, google rm -rf  iceroot says ok to giveyou goodhelp on how to delete a folder so there ya go
[07:08] <HyperHoRse> so why am i supposed to tell them about my problem
[07:08] <elektroid> I can tell HyperHoRse uses text msging a lot
[07:08] <rww> !google > hiexpo
[07:08] <lancel> we need hp:s for ubuntu
[07:08] <HyperHoRse> my problem with unity not working with my graphics card drivers
[07:08] <jigynet> xD its not abuse of the enter key its adding additional details he left out of the previous lines
[07:08] <lancel> so far it is going with diesel
[07:08] <elektroid> jigynet: well, the idea is to type lines out longer
[07:08] <iceroot> hiexpo: are you a troll?
[07:08] <jigynet> so what shoulld be said is..please try to put everything you want to say in as little space as possible and on one line
[07:08] <MTecknology> jigynet: if you have an issue, it doesn't belong here
[07:09] <iceroot> hiexpo: i said we dont need google here
[07:09] <rww> jigynet: If you have an issue with the way the floodbots and channel operators are coded, please visit #ubuntu-ops.
[07:09] <jigynet> whoa
[07:09] <jigynet> it's just a suggestion...
[07:09] <jigynet> i'm not picking a fight
[07:09] <HyperHoRse> so why doesn't unity work with my graphics card drivers.
[07:09] <rww> jigynet: As was that. Now, back to Ubuntu technical support.
[07:09] <jigynet> k xD
[07:10] <bsdnux> i'm trying to recreate a raid1. both disks have 3 partitions. 2 of them where joined fine on md0 and md1, but when trying to add sdb3 to md2 i get mdadm: /dev/sdb3 not large enough to join array
[07:10] <bsdnux> the disks are the same size. mdadm is v2.6.7.1
[07:10] <nishant> hello , does ubuntu use the latest Linux Kernel
[07:10] <HyperHoRse> I thought unity was what ubuntu is changing to. But I dont understand because extra desktop effects no longer works in 10.10 due to it not using the graphics card drivers not provided by ubuntu
[07:10] <HyperHoRse> or canocal
[07:10] <HyperHoRse> or whatever,
[07:10] <rww> nishant: No, the current stable version of Ubuntu uses 2.6.35.
[07:10] <jigynet> hyper what?
[07:11] <jigynet> so your using nvidia drivers instead of what was provided by ubuntu
[07:11] <theclassycorsair> what's that website, where you can submit and VOTE on commands? like with switches and combined to do useful and neat things?
[07:11] <HyperHoRse> jigynet: in unity. I can't use unity because of the graphics card drivers. Extra Desktop Effects does not work.
[07:11] <nishant> so in general is there a lag wrt to latest kernel , is compiling the kernel on own own advised?
[07:11] <elektroid> nishant: you can generally go to www.distrowatch.com and see which version of the kernel and main software a distro uses and no maverick 10.10 uses 2.6.35
[07:11] <rww> nishant: No, we advise that you use the version that comes with Ubuntu, as that's the one we support ;)
[07:11] <jigynet> hmm i have a nvidia 5500 with 512 let me see if i can replicate the issue
[07:12] <nishant> Right
[07:12] <HyperHoRse> jigynet: What is up with Unity? also when I try to use unity for a limited amount of time it freeze the computer and i have to ctrl alt f7 ctrl alt del
[07:12] <hiexpo> iceroot, thats fine if we don't need google here > but you know when i need to find out something i use google to find out what itmeans     > so if that is the case why does google post anything about ubuntu   >     don't hack an google it is our engine
[07:12] <jigynet> one second pls xD
[07:12] <HyperHoRse> so does that mean that unity will be for basic computers that dont have graphics hardware?
[07:12] <nigelb> nishant: you dont get the bug fixes or security fixes if you compile your own kernel, neither can you log bugs.  They will be closed since we don't support mainline.
[07:13] <nishant> right thats fine
[07:13] <rww> hiexpo: You are welcome to use Google to find things out. You are also welcome to post those things in #ubuntu if answer someone's question. Please don't, however, tell people to Google things.
[07:13] <HyperHoRse> so basically
[07:13] <HyperHoRse> im not sure.
[07:13] <HyperHoRse> whats going on here.
[07:13] <rww> s/answer/they answer/
[07:13] <hiexpo> and i do work for google
[07:13] <MTecknology> nishant: if you miss one kernel module everything else could work fine but firefox might break; leading you to think it's a firefox issue, when it's not
[07:13] <jigynet> crap.. nvm forgot i had to format that pc
[07:14] <jigynet> =c
[07:14] <nishant> I see , I understand
[07:15] <MTecknology> nishant: it's also a huge undertaking; best done by really smart people that have minds of steel and glasses of whiskey
[07:15] <nishant> thanks so I guess I have better things to do :)
[07:16] <jokersmile> How do I make a startup thumb drive using puppy linux but putting ubuntu 10.10 on the thumb drive? And will it work?
[07:16] <airtonix> jokersmile: investigate the use of grub2
[07:16] <MTecknology> jokersmile: i 'think' you can just download the ubuntu iso and use dd to copy over the iso to the drive
[07:17] <rww> MTecknology: nope :(
[07:17] <MTecknology> oh.. :(
[07:17] <jokersmile> i think that i have tryied reading about how grub works and it's confussing
[07:17] <jokersmile> i already downloaded the iso file and copied it to the thumb drive
[07:18] <airtonix> jokersmile: then you need to get over that quick, because it's going to be the only way
[07:19] <pooz>  millions of people must use ubuntu.
[07:19] <jokersmile> ok then any one know of any user friendly tutorials for that. I prefer pictures. I'm a visual person.
[07:19] <airtonix> jokersmile: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-create-multiboot-liveusb-using.html
[07:20] <airtonix> jokersmile: i had to sacrifice my child to get that link
[07:20] <zodiac207> jokersmile: about what?
[07:20] <jokersmile> zodiac207: I was talking about grub
[07:20] <airtonix> grub2 you mean
[07:21] <mwiegand> Just got a quick add-apt-repository question: Would add-apt-repository on 10.10 add deb-src lines to the sources.list, even when given a repository starting with "deb "?
[07:21] <zodiac207> jokersmile: grub2?
[07:21] <jokersmile> if that's the latest and updated and recommeded one from the community, then yeah
[07:22] <MTecknology> elektroid: looks like mp3 defaults add an extra 20-25% over the m4a defauls; i'll assume it's just compression :)
[07:22] <airtonix> mwiegand: add-apt-repository does not add lines to /etc/source.list
[07:22] <airtonix> jokersmile: grub2 is the one that will let you do multiboot from usb
[07:22] <airtonix> jokersmile: it lets you boot straight from iso files on a partition
[07:22] <xZwhite> hi
[07:23] <mwiegand> airtonix: It sure does on 10.04.
[07:23] <airtonix> mwiegand: no. it adds files to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[07:23] <mwiegand> airtonix: It even says so on its man page.
[07:23] <jokersmile> will it work on 10.10
[07:23] <dpetrek> hihos
[07:24] <xZwhite> if i does apt-get source on a package how can i know how the deb package is compiled?
[07:24] <jigynet> sup
[07:24] <mwiegand> airtonix: But aside from that, it should not add deb-src lines if not requested, right?
[07:24] <airtonix> mwiegand: every single add-apt-repository action i've executed for the last year has only created a relevant file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[07:24] <dpetrek> so i have ubuntu server with shortage of disk space. command line access only. tried checking whats using the space with df -k. says 96% use on /dev/sda1 which is mounted on /
[07:25] <dpetrek> how can i see in detail where are top consumers
[07:25] <eckirchn> cmd line top
[07:25] <mean> how to load the new kernel?
[07:26] <airtonix> mwiegand: yes, it will create a file of the name related to the ppa you requested in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and fill that file with the relevant deb & deb-src lines
[07:26] <overclucker> dpetrek: du -h --max-depth=1 / works for finding bloat.
[07:26] <MTecknology> Doonz: du -hs /*
[07:26] <MTecknology> dpetrek: *
[07:26] <dpetrek> let me try
[07:27]  * hiexpo reads up and only sees one thing about recommending Google and it was about the rm command > so is gonna make recommendations to Google  about posting Ubuntu  topics any longer  in Google 
[07:27] <mwiegand> airtonix: So it will add deb-src entries, even when the repository starts only with "deb http..."?
[07:27] <mean> i have kernel 2.6.32-27 but it always start with 2.6.32-24,how to load the new kernel?
[07:28] <dpetrek> this does not make sense guys, although i can see disk usage by folders now, the sum of usage by fodlers is not what df -k reports for /
[07:28] <blackshirt> mean: i think you need update your grub menu, and then reboot with latest kernel
[07:29] <mean> i tried it,but it didnt work
[07:29] <MTecknology> dpetrek: pastebin both
[07:29] <blackshirt> not show on your grub menu ?
[07:29] <mean> even no grub menu  show up...
[07:30] <MTecknology> crap... i can't make the power cord stick in
[07:31] <dpetrek> MTecknology: http://pastebin.com/M19TahFj
[07:32] <xZwhite> if i does apt-get source on a package how can i know how the deb package is compiled?
[07:33] <jigynet> ok i installed unity where is it?
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> run it from a command line.. theres no icon.
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> since its a window manager type thing.
[07:33] <jigynet> ah
[07:33] <MTecknology> dpetrek: where's the last line?
[07:33] <Fuchs> it should be listed as a session in your display manager (where you log in)
[07:33] <overclucker> dpetrek: problem is you are using different units of measurement for each command.(-k, -h)
[07:34] <jraws> Hey guys, anyone want to help me with a charitable volunteer project? :) --> http://www.reddit.com/g5q7z/ | If you're interested, would you mind responding on the reddit thread, if possible? it literally takes 5 seconds to sign up for an account and requires 0 personal information.
[07:34] <jraws> Thanks! :)
[07:34] <dpetrek> overclucker: still it dos not sum well
[07:34] <FloodBot2> jraws: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:34] <dpetrek> MTecknology: everything is pasted
[07:34] <mean> blackshirt, yes,there is no grub menu when booting
[07:34] <MTecknology> dpetrek: look again
[07:34] <dpetrek> overclucker: /dev/sda1 should have about 10 gigs
[07:34] <jigynet> so unity will replace my current gui? or does it run overtop of it and use up more cpu/ram
[07:34] <dpetrek> overclucker: i can't find those 10 gigs
[07:35] <mwiegand> airtonix: Ping?
[07:35] <MTecknology> dpetrek: also.... look at /var/
[07:35] <Device> hello, short of pushing reset... what to do in the event of ubuntu locking up?

[07:36] <arand> Device: ctrl+alt+F2 login and kill things, or if that doesn't work, reisub.
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> howdy hiexpo
[07:37] <Device> arand, i cant get any keyboard access at all, i tried that already. i even lost the mouse now too.
[07:37] <hiexpo> how you doing this evening Dr_Willis
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> getting ready to take a long drive on vacation. wife wanted to leave early.. so i came hopme early.. they are all sleeping still..
[07:37] <pooz> so how come unity doesn't work with a graphics card in 10.10
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> Aint faily fun. :)
[07:38] <pooz> oi i thought ubuntu was supposed to support that
[07:38] <Device> arand, i almost want to cry lol. the ever faithful ubuntu has crashed on me for the first time ever...
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> it would depend on the driver support for that card pooz
[07:38] <pooz> yeah it works fine in desktop
[07:38] <pooz> but as far as support goes' why did they release unity to 10.10 when it has such bad issues with graphics card
[07:39] <jigynet> ??
[07:39] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, so being patient <
[07:39] <hiexpo> :0
[07:39] <jigynet> cause its meant to use opengl as an accelerater
[07:39] <hiexpo> :)
[07:39] <pooz> so
[07:39] <cdbs> pooz: as for that question, you need to really wait for 11.04 next month. You'll like it. No graphic issues now.
[07:39] <jigynet> pooz gotta start somewhere right?
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> perhaps because they knew it was getting a total work over for 11.04
[07:39] <pooz> cdbs will 11.04 have a more improved unity interface?
[07:40] <pooz> unity is cool but some of the interface sucked
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> pooz:  thats its MAIN feature.
[07:40] <pooz> MAIN?
[07:40] <cdbs> pooz: a completely rewritten one, using compiz/QT instead of mutter, much faster, and quite many changes
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> Ive rarely seen mentioned any other improvements/changes in 11.04
[07:40] <pooz> cdbs: good work ubuntu
[07:40] <pooz> good work mark shuttle worth
[07:40] <cdbs> pooz: yes, no more gnome-panel in 11.04. Unity for both desktop and netbool
[07:40] <cdbs> *netbook
[07:41] <pooz> will 11.04 have more games?
[07:41] <cdbs> pooz: http://ubuntuone.com/p/hx4/ is a screenshot of the applications place, and http://ubuntuone.com/p/hx5/ is dash
[07:41] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, where you guys going   . hopefully a nice place
[07:42] <knew> somebody help me!
[07:42] <cdbs> pooz: okay, since this is a support channel, further discussion on 11.04 should be on #ubuntu+1 or (if not a support question) on #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:42] <knew> ubuntu is not recognising my external monitor
[07:42] <cdbs> knew: Which version of Ubuntu?
[07:43]  * cdbs knows of some multi-monitor issues on 10.04
[07:43] <knew> cdbs: 10.04
[07:43] <cdbs> aha!
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> knew:  depends on yoru video chipset and drivers also.
[07:43] <knew> 8600m GT up to date nvidia drivers
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> knew:  desktop/laptop?
[07:43] <knew> laptop
[07:43] <MTecknology> cdbs: i think MOST issues happen to be video...
[07:43] <knew> also, it recognises up until ubuntu starts
[07:43] <cdbs> knew: What happens when you open up Monitors in the system/preferences menu?
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> upto-date as in from the nvidia web site? or latest in the repos?
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> knew:  you did run the nvidia-setttings tool?
[07:44] <knew> cdbs: It tells me it doesn't work with my driver, and it'll open my nvidia control center thing
[07:44] <knew> cdbs: the nvidia control center thing does not see any other monitor
[07:44]  * cdbs doesn't know much about the nVidia world :(
[07:44] <knew> Dr_Willis: yes, it does not see any other monitpr
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> knew:  you might need to hit the special laptop keys to toggle the monitor. OR ive seen some cases where teh monitor must be plugged in when the system boots.
[07:45] <Raptors> http://pastebin.com/VQpZkGVi
[07:45] <Raptors> Does anyone know how to fix that?
[07:45] <knew> Dr_Willis: yes, i do that, and it switches to my external monitor
[07:45] <xxmmaann> hi can you help me i have an error when try play youtube video in totem media player_GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error
[07:45] <knew> Dr_Willis: but then when ubuntu login screens comes up it goes back to my monitor screen
[07:45] <Raptors> (I'm on Debian so I can't use ubuntu emerald package)
[07:45] <Raptors> I tried asking in #compiz and #debian but those channels are deal
[07:45] <Raptors> dead
[07:45] <knew> Dr_Willis: any ideas?
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  emerald is basically a dead project.
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> knew:  not really. My nvidia laptops all work good.
[07:46] <MTecknology> Raptors: try #debian on irc.oftc.net
[07:46] <Raptors> Dr_Willis, what replaced it?
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  nothing.. it died..
[07:46] <knew> Dr_Willis: whatever, fuck ubuntu
[07:46] <Raptors> I want to use the emerald themes though :(
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> knew:   whatever.. have a nice day.
[07:46] <jigynet> http://pastebin.com/LsBSN6Ud my first attempt at running unity in 1010 is this bug or error knonw?
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  emerald is so problematic. and proberly will never get fixed.. so use it if you want i guess.. good luck with getting any sypport on it.
[07:47] <Raptors> Why was it killed?
[07:47] <MTecknology> is emerald even worked on anymore?
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> developers all moved on...
[07:47] <MTecknology> i thought that was tossed out years ago
[07:47]  * Raptors sobs
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> thats how  GPL stuff often dies. :)
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> The emerald theme servers all shut down about 2 yr ago? 1 yr ago?  i forget...
[07:48] <Raptors> There is nothing better available though
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> i dont find emerald that impressive.. sorry..
[07:48] <MTecknology> Raptors: compiz
[07:48] <jigynet> lol@knew he'll be back xD
[07:48] <hiexpo> compiz
[07:48] <Raptors> Emerald is the theme manager for Compiz
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> emerald is a window decorator that runs along side compiz...
[07:49] <MTecknology> jigynet: unfortunately; probably true
[07:49] <overclucker> dpetrek: it does look like there are files hidden somewhere. you could try looking under your mount points.
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> compiz has 3 differnt window decorators it can use. a GTK one, a KDE one . and emerald.
[07:49] <hiexpo> ^ yep
[07:49] <Raptors> Dr_Willis, can you at least look at the paste
[07:49] <Raptors> it looks like a GTK prob
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> Im suprised more window deforators have not came out.
[07:49] <Raptors> http://pastebin.com/VQpZkGVi
[07:49] <dpetrek> overclucker: how to do that?
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> but with the  changes in 11.04 - in 3 yrs.. compiz may  be dead. :) or at least very sick.
[07:50] <jigynet> http://pastebin.com/LsBSN6Ud does this look familiar to anyone, should i submit it?
[07:50] <MTecknology> i like openbox; everything i need and all the extra transparency and shadow stuff i want
[07:50] <overclucker> dpetrek: unmount em
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> MTecknology:  i read where TWM even has compositing options now.
[07:50] <Raptors> Dr_Willis, what did they add in 11.04
[07:50] <Raptors> ?
[07:50] <Raptors> that makes compiz sick
[07:50] <jigynet> well why can't compiz use directx or gpu acceleration/optimizations?
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  the new interface Unity revisted..
[07:51] <Raptors> ugh, unity
[07:51] <dpetrek> overclucker: how
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> jigynet:  directx on linux?  Compiz does use acell here.
[07:51] <Device> fifteen minutes of distrsction and the ever faithful ubuntu has given meancontrol again.
[07:51] <jigynet> lol xD well something like directx to give apps or gui the benefits of use of the gpu with cpu
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> that would be 'opengl' i think jigynet.
[07:52] <MTecknology> opengl is scary land
[07:52] <jigynet> yea opengl
[07:52] <jigynet> my bad
[07:52] <jigynet> xD
[07:52] <Raptors> LOL DirectX
[07:52] <tsimpson> jigynet: compiz does use gpu acceleration, where available
[07:53] <Raptors> Can someone please at least look at my paste :(
[07:53] <Raptors> http://pastebin.com/VQpZkGVi
[07:53] <jigynet> so what would be diffrent? why use unity?
[07:53] <Raptors> I think it's more secure
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> If you want fancy effects with out the hardware requirements.. check out  the latest Enlightment, or if you want to go to 'way out there land' theres metisse. :)
[07:53] <Raptors> and adds some more features
[07:54] <Raptors> Dr_Willis, are they as good as compiz?
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> 11.04 is just moveing ubuntu to a new directon
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  they can do  effects.. they are not the big hogs that compiz is... they have some features lacking in compiz.
[07:54] <tsimpson> jigynet: unity is supposed to be a unified UI, compiz is just a window manager
[07:54] <Raptors> I like it how it is right now
[07:55] <overclucker> dpetrek: type mount. it should show you what is mounted, and where. you can run umount on the mount point, or the mounted device.
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> Enlightment - is slowly growing into a 'desktop' :) metisse is a window manager that can do fancy effects  without needing 3d acell.
[07:55] <Raptors> I don't want this unity crap. :|
[07:55] <tsimpson> Raptors: the code is teh broken, unless you know C and GDK/GTK, you're stuck
[07:55] <jigynet> is unity more widely  supported and adaptable then compiz? tsimpson..so compiz has dependancies and unity is self contained and streamedlined because of this?
[07:55] <Raptors> ugh
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> Unity is the next generation. :) i guess youi can say.
[07:56] <Raptors> I guess I'll use the ubuntu package on debian and hope that it was brick my system
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> I recall when compiz was in version like .0001 :) and was a total disaster.  Unity is proberly at  .01 level.
[07:56] <tsimpson> jigynet: compiz doesn't do anything other than make your windows wobble etc, unity is something completely different
[07:56] <Raptors> tsimpson, it does more then just make your windows wobble
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> it can also make the cube!
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> :)
[07:56] <tsimpson> Raptors: ^ 'etc'
[07:56] <jigynet> xD
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> Cubewiz -
[07:57] <Raptors> Compiz > *
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> I can think of like 4 Compiz features that actually add functionality to my systems/work flow.
[07:57] <Raptors> I'm probably going to stick with x11/compize for a while
[07:58] <jigynet> hmmdr?
[07:58] <Raptors> Maybe mess around with unity in a VM or something
[07:59] <dpetrek> overclucker: http://pastebin.com/G5A8CbyK
[07:59] <wincent> yy
[07:59] <dpetrek> overclucker: maybe it could be that fsck should be run on the filesystem
[07:59] <jigynet> why would having terminal open, cause all windows to assume terminal window's size is fullscreen and not allow larger or drag them outside of it??
[07:59] <endafy> hey how do I enable the Nvidia drivers if they don't show up in hardware drivers list?
[08:00] <jigynet> endafy, is it onboard or integrated?
[08:00] <wincent> hello
[08:00] <wincent> how to install Chinese spelling tool?
[08:00] <endafy> jigynet, its a card, but nvm I am just going to install it with the .run file I just wanted a gui way of doing it
[08:01] <jigynet> um no?
[08:01] <overclucker> dpetrek: are any of the mounts in /storage currently in use?
[08:01] <jigynet> use synaptic or find the drivers using the provided software
[08:01] <piojunbabia> hi, is there a channel for vb.net progammers?
[08:01] <dpetrek> overclucker: yes there are
[08:01] <endafy> the "provided software" is a disk with Windows only drivers on it
[08:01] <piojunbabia> what is it?
[08:02] <syrinx_> !.net
[08:02] <dpetrek> overclucker: vmware1 points to one hard disk, vmware2 points to another one
[08:02] <syrinx_> awww
[08:02] <jigynet> endafy, the provided ubuntu software add/remove in the applictions menu...
[08:02] <endafy> Sparkle 8400GS with 1G DDR3
[08:02] <Raptors> What do you guys think of gnome shell?
[08:02] <hiexpo> !compiz \ hiexpo
[08:02] <syrinx_> wonderful
[08:02] <Raptors> I think it looks stupid
[08:02] <syrinx_> !asp
[08:02] <piojunbabia> #!asp?
[08:02] <sackbox> reminds me of my mobile phone
[08:03] <jigynet> endafy, that should have been detected and installed and probably is??
[08:03] <hiexpo> !compiz | hiexpo
[08:03] <Raptors> Dr_Willis, IDK what you find so great about Unity3d. It looks pretty weak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoUTBsL7M1s
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  ive not even tried it. so have no oponion on it.. it is going to be what gets pushed.. so thats the bottom line.
[08:03] <jigynet> endafy,  using the add/remove software in the apps pull down menu will list installed drivers with a gren check mark
[08:04] <endafy> jigynet, its all good the add/remove doesnt have any drivers and I really dislike synaptic
[08:04] <overclucker> dpetrek: probably not a good idea to just unmount them. you might want to reboot into a recovery console if you can. then check for files in the unmounted mount points.
[08:04] <Raptors> Dr_Willis, maybe by ubuntu. I don't think everyone will be pushing it
[08:04] <endafy> sudo su then .sh NV*.run should do the trick
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> ive used everything from GeOS on my C64 to twm, to you name whatever windowmanager/desktop out..
[08:04] <wincent> hello
[08:04] <jigynet> endafy,  so you went to nvida and download their drivers and expect them to work with ubuntu?
[08:04] <Raptors> I don't like the look of the side launcher.]
[08:04] <endafy> no but we'll see in a moment
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  dosent really matter.. Im in #ubuntu support. :) and i imagine other disrtos will follow. or go gnome-3 wich is also going similer routes.
[08:04] <Raptors> Looks pretty horrible to me :/
[08:05] <endafy> if it is proprietary they are going to be the same driver
[08:05] <Raptors> I'll probably have to switch back to windows or something before I use Gnome3 or Unity
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> I feel most docks are Horriable.. but that dosent stop people from using them
[08:05] <Raptors> They both look really horrible
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  thats the beuaty of gpl/linux. do what you want. I perfer function over looks.
[08:05] <endafy> Raptors, I am on Gnome 3 on my other Desktop and it is amazing
[08:05] <jigynet> endafy,  it DOES list your driver look for nvidia
[08:06] <Raptors> Hopefully there will be an option to disable gnome shell
[08:06] <endafy> brb says I have to reboot
[08:06] <jigynet> endy no proprietary drivers are completely diffrent from ubuntu supported and compiled drivers
[08:06] <Raptors> Dr_Willis, it doesn't look that functional. My Gnome 2.3.2 looks far more function then that
[08:06] <sackbox> ill use gnome3 if i get to decide what apps shows up where
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:  the operative word is 'looks' you havent tried it..
[08:07] <Raptors> Dr_Willis, the whole design looks whack like the lack of minimize
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> kde4 has Much more 'functions' then anything out.. so much.. its majorly confuseing.
[08:07] <Raptors> and no panels
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> Raptors:   differnt workflow/paradigm.  no need for them.
[08:07] <Raptors> and having to go into a giant menu to find an application
[08:07] <endafy> groovy it worked
[08:08] <sackbox> kde need to optimization and stability
[08:08] <jigynet> the .run file works??
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> I will wait for 11.04 to come out - then decide..
[08:08] <endafy> jigynet, lol yes
[08:08] <endafy> same driver
[08:08] <jigynet> you have nvidia control panel and can adjust resolution etc?
[08:08] <endafy> and sackbox try KDE 4.6 then talk
[08:08] <Raptors> I can't stand KDE's design either. I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'd probably have to switch to Windows/XFCE
[08:09] <dpetrek> overclucker: i think i don't understand what you want me to do.
[08:09] <Raptors> Or not upgrade to gnome3
[08:09] <cdbs> !ot | Raptors
[08:09] <endafy> KDE's "design" in KDE 4 can be made to look and mimic Gnome 2 Interface
[08:09] <jigynet> endafy, test it by running software then requires a 3d card
[08:09] <endafy> 3D effects enabled
[08:09] <hiexpo> <     please use windoz
[08:09] <dpetrek> overclucker: there is alot of consumption in backup, vmware1 and vmware2 but these point to another storage
[08:09] <endafy> you know what, please go use Windows we wont miss you much
[08:10] <jigynet> 3d effects are already enabled and use cpu??
[08:10] <endafy> jigynet, yes I just dislike using the .run as it has no interface to speak of
[08:10] <hiexpo> bye bye Raptors
[08:10] <Raptors> I could??
[08:10] <jigynet> exactly
[08:10]  * Dr_Willis goes back to BeOS.
[08:10] <Raptors> err
[08:10] <Raptors> hiexpo ??
[08:10] <mads> Hi: The ISO images on http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/, what time zone are the "time modified" set at. or what i really what to know is at what time are the daily iso updated for download?
[08:11] <cbf> morning chaps
[08:11] <jigynet> endafy, pls test it
[08:11] <overclucker> dpetrek: what i'm thinking, is that there may be files underneath one or more of your mount points. it would explain missing missing disk space.
[08:11] <endafy> I just dont see if you dont like KDE, how you could say you want to use Windows 7 with a straight face
[08:11] <hiexpo> Raptors, yu said you couldgo back to windoz   ?
[08:11] <cbf> got two ubuntu 8.04 LTS boxes, both using identical resolv.conf for two AD DNS servers
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> mads:  i doubt if its at a set time.   given the server load and  other things.
[08:11] <cbf> one will resolve hostnames
[08:11] <jigynet> linux is not windows...therefore kde can not be compared with windows
[08:11] <cbf> and the other needs the domain suffix before it will resolve... any ideas?
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> jigynet:  theres kde ported to windows. :)
[08:12] <jigynet> lol!
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> or at least parts of it.
[08:12] <mads> Dr_Willis: they are updated every morning.
[08:12] <Raptors> hiexpo, ya when gnome 3 comes out.. or just stay with current Gnome
[08:12] <endafy> jigynet, I know but Windows 7 and KDE look so similar
[08:12] <cdbs> !ot | jigynet, endafy, Dr_Willis
[08:12] <sackbox> jigynet: right. windoz doesn't compare. ubuntu/gnome is rock solid and thats what matters
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> mads:  proberly an automated script. so server load/downtime  could delay them.
[08:12] <jigynet> porting to windows.. how redundant and pointless
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> jigynet:  im using kvirc righjt now on windows.. so its not pointless. :)
[08:12] <mads> Dr_Willis: Thansk
[08:13] <jigynet> cdavis, o.0
[08:13] <endafy> jigynet, please join me in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:13] <cdbs> jigynet: PLEASE stop that. This is a support channel
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> im so used to weechat.. using  a GUI irc client seems.. weird.
[08:13] <hiexpo> Raptors, be careful don't threaten the linux community   lol   we don't wanna lose any business to microsoft
[08:14] <Raptors> lol
[08:14] <Raptors> What business?
[08:14] <Raptors> linux is free
[08:14] <jigynet> uh cdbs pls dont just assume we are not talking about or supporting something..everything we are talking about is in relation to a support question
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> Linux is used by a lot of businesses..  and other comercial ventures.
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> the licensing dosent really figure into it for them much. Other then its a very open license.
[08:15] <cdbs> jigynet: In relation, right? But the discussion moved offtopic, so it isn't valid here. The support question has been answered already
[08:15] <jigynet> really?
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> Im still waiting for a ubuntu branded tablet to come out.
[08:15] <Guest31863> ciao
[08:16] <Guest31863> !list
[08:16] <jigynet> well we are going oftopic talking about this and so i will stop talking about your actions as they are offtopic
[08:17] <dpetrek> overclucker: unmounted 3 mount points
[08:17] <dpetrek> overclucker: still same consumption
[08:17] <cbf> dns client... any ideas or what? :)
[08:18] <cbf> why does one server need a suffix resolve and t'other does not
[08:18] <cbf> using the SAME dns servers
[08:19] <ParadoxEternal> Is the compiler on Natty slower than Lucid?
[08:19] <dpetrek> overclucker: you were right
[08:19] <dpetrek> overclucker: i figured it out
[08:19] <overclucker> dpetrek: heh, there were files in a mount point?
[08:19] <dpetrek> overclucker: there is backup script that puts files on SMB share
[08:20] <dpetrek> but fo some reason it was not mounted
[08:20] <dpetrek> and it kept filling local disk
[08:20] <Tm_T> ParadoxEternal: why would it be? (#ubuntu+1 is better channel for that)
[08:20] <ParadoxEternal> I'm just noticing the same stuff taking more cpu.
[08:20] <ParadoxEternal> On Maverick aswell. I'm quite sure, I tested several times.
[08:21] <cdbs> ParadoxEternal: Natty has GCC 4.5, a major improvement, so maybe because of that
[08:21] <ParadoxEternal> What about maverick?
[08:21] <ParadoxEternal> Coz it's maverick and natty that's slower apparently, than karmic and lucid.
[08:21] <ParadoxEternal> So whatever it is, they share it!
[08:21] <ParadoxEternal> :)
[08:22] <jigynet> cool?
[08:22] <overclucker> dpetrek: whare are the permissions of the mount points? you might want to remove write for the mount points, so files don't end up there when it's unmounted
[08:22] <kauhuk> I need to move a file to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/ folder. How can I do it?
[08:23] <dpetrek> overclucker: yeah that would be good idea
[08:23] <beer_brouwer> kauhuk: sudo mv <filename> /etc/.../
[08:23] <overclucker> dpetrek: that won't affect a root user putting files there though
[08:23] <jigynet> http://pastebin.com/LsBSN6Ud is this a known bug with unity? should i submit it?
[08:25] <dpetrek> overclucker: yeah the script runs under root

[08:37] <cvmostert> yes vim is just another version of vi

[08:44] <Dr_Willis> Note the default vim - is actually vim 'light' and is missing some features in the full vim package.

[08:46] <gnewb> Can I put two Ubuntu flavors on one HDD, i.e. Lubuntu and Ubuntu both 10.04?
[08:46] <DJones> gnewb: Yes you can as long as you've got enough enough partitions
[08:46] <gnewb> DJones: Thank you.
[08:46] <elFidel> gnewb: you can even install debian,gentoo,ubuntu etc on the same hd -> its a partition issue
[08:47] <gnewb> elFidel: Yes, Thank you, I am still in that learning curve.
[08:48] <gnewb> I tried to get a BSD and Debian based to dual boot, still working on that.

[08:50] <RubenAlonzo> does anyone if there is a solution yet to hide the Unity side dock?
[08:50] <arejay> How can i fix this
[08:50] <arejay> -(~:$)-> screen
[08:50] <arejay> Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check.
[08:50] <arejay> Adding user `ircd' to group `tty' ...
[08:50] <arejay> still didnt fix it
[08:50] <FloodBot2> arejay: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:51] <gnewb> RubenAlonzo: I saw that as fixed on the Launchpad and Forums, which version are you running?
[08:52] <TheTinyToon> Hi everyone, any hints on a out-of-the-box working webcam?
[08:54] <RubenAlonzo> 2 Gigs of Crucial DDR2 200 pin, laptop memory should be sufficient for uubuntu?
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> RubenAlonzo:  yes.
[08:54] <RubenAlonzo> Dr_Willis: Thank you.
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> RubenAlonzo:  i dont think unity is gouing to let you hide the side dock. not seen that mentioned in the 11.04 previews yet.
[08:55] <gnewb> oh whoops
[08:55] <dr0id> hello Dr_Willis :)
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> Jello dr0id.
[08:55] <MagicJ> I love the PLACES/NETWORK ability to conneft to a remote machine . It works great with the GUI - how do I use it with file names and the command line etc
[08:55] <RubenAlonzo> Dr_Willis: I am hoping it will, i played around with 10.10 netbook remix on my little netbook and loved it but my real estate for screen is at a premium, its only10.1 inches
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> MagicJ:  depends on what sort of remote box you are connecting to.
[08:55] <gnewb> RubenAlanozo, Dr_Willis: Would Lubuntu be an option there?
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> gnewb:  lubuntu works very well for me.
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> gnewb:  it depends on your needs.
[08:56] <gnewb> True
[08:56] <MagicJ> DR_WIllis - it is my own remote box also running ubunto and  I am connecting via ssh
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> You can install the lubuntu-desktop pacakge on a gnome box and try lubuntu.
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> MagicJ:  ssh, scp, sshfs.  - are the tools to check out. It depends on your needs. :)
[08:57] <RubenAlonzo> Dr_Willis: havent seen that one yet, i should read into it for the time being, reason i went with netbook remix is i read it was very stable. and indeed it was a flawless installation with everything working right out of the box.
[08:57] <gnewb> I am using Lubuntu now, on a 512mb desktop box, is skippy and neat.
[08:57] <MagicJ> Dr Willis: I am using ssh to connect - and under the gui it is great - so what is the file path so that I can use it without the gui oce connected
[08:58] <RubenAlonzo> gnewb: what your browse of choice if you dont mind?
[08:58] <RubenAlonzo> browser*
[08:58] <eka> hi all
[08:58] <RubenAlonzo> hi eka
[08:58] <gnewb> RubenAlonzo:> Chrome
[08:58] <RubenAlonzo> thanks
[08:59] <eka> how can I farce so all the files creatd under a directory get the same permissions as the directory?
[08:59] <eka> force
[08:59] <RubenAlonzo> Also, are the terminal commands about the same for Lubuntu as Maverick Meerkat? I.E., sudo apt-get install nameofprogramhere?
[08:59] <gnewb> RuenAlonzo: On #! I am using IceWeasel or Icecat.
[09:00] <RubenAlonzo> gnewb: on a desktop or laptop?
[09:00] <gmcdonald> eka: chmod -R xxx
[09:00] <gnewb> RubenAlonzo:> Yes, it is called LXTerminal, that is about the only difference.
[09:00] <RubenAlonzo> thanks
[09:01] <RubenAlonzo> brb will go check it out
[09:01] <eka> gmcdonald: yea but the files/dir inside are created by a  daemon
[09:01] <eka> gmcdonald: so I want that next time it creates things... they will be in same perms as the dir holding it
[09:02] <gmcdonald> what daemon is it?
[09:02] <eka> gmcdonald: dropbox
[09:03] <gnewb> RubenAlonzo: I am currently on a homebuilt desktop.

[09:04] <AdvoWork> im trying to install an old version of postgresql(8.2) on ubuntu as a test, its not available doing sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.2 as there is no candidate, any idea what source I would have to add to the sources list to be able to add that version?
[09:04] <gnewb> TheTinyToon:> That link should show you the working and not yet known Hardware dongles.
[09:06] <DJones> TheTinyToon: This should help you looking for a webcam https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[09:07] <TheTinyToon> DJones: Thanks, that's the page I was looking for
[09:07] <gnewb> DJones:Thank you, I posted the FULL site, that one looks cleaner.
[09:08] <TheTinyToon> Gnewb: Yeah, I just found all the computers there but not for peripherials.
[09:10] <gnewb> TheTinyToon:> That is why I gave DJones a thumbs up, by working together we find solutions. eventually.

[09:11] <cvmostert> i want my program to be in trial-mode forever...
[09:12] <llutz> cvmostert:  thats illegal and not supported here. use free stuff, buy stuff or don't use it all
[09:12] <gmcdonald> eka: sorry dont know how that operates, either make sure it runs on umask 002, or create yourself a cronjob that fixes the permissions after ir runs
[09:12] <eka> gmcdonald: I set chmod 2770 <- that did it
[09:12] <gmcdonald> goodo
[09:13] <gnewb> cvmostert: Yeah, what llutz said, and also look for the FSF/GNU equivalent,is Free and Open Source .
[09:13] <eka> gmcdonald: so the group permissions are enforced inside that dir
[09:13] <cvmostert> thanks peeps
[09:14] <cvmostert> if you dont know, just say so... joking.. cheers

[09:17] <gnome-terminal> hi
[09:17] <ilea> i instaled the video driver but i still can't select the extra option so that i can play with compiz
[09:17] <ilea> what to do ?
[09:17] <AdvoWork> can i add the sources from hardy so i can add a package that was from that version?
[09:18] <ilea> i still stays on none
[09:18] <Frazer> hi ! what is the smallest Ubuntu dist that can runs? Because Mini Ubuntu need to download all the packages ; I would like to know if a base-Ubuntu dist exists with only minimal packages(shell...) ?
[09:18] <bazhang> AdvoWork, what version are you on now
[09:18] <gnome-terminal> I am trying to change gnome terminal color but it doesnt change. how can I fix this
[09:18] <gnewb> ilea: Have you added Restricted to the sources list?
[09:18] <ilea> i dont understand

[09:19] <bazhang> AdvoWork, no
[09:19] <gnewb> PSiL023: Did you want a Persistent USB or a Live Stick?
[09:19] <ilea> i am new and someone from here e-mailed me a step by step instruction on how to install it
[09:19] <AdvoWork> bazhang, why? cant i just add deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted to the sources list, install my package from there and so on?
[09:19] <bazhang> gnewb, you mean ubuntu-restricted-extras not restricted repo
[09:20] <bazhang> AdvoWork, what package
[09:20] <nishant> !latest
[09:20] <silvery> Hi. got a question about grub.d. Should it be a problem if 2 files there got same numbers: 20_linux_xen, 20_memtest86+ ? (I'm asking because it is default U*10.10 grub configuration)
[09:20] <extra11> :)
[09:21] <AdvoWork> bazhang, i just want postgresql version 8.2
[09:21] <gnewb> bazhang: Thank you, I learned something new today so it is a good day.
[09:21] <bazhang> AdvoWork, why that version in particular
[09:21] <gnome-terminal> Where are the gnome terminal settings saved?
[09:21] <Softdroid> Anyone who can an easy way to replace pulse audio with alsa or make alsa the default driver?
[09:21] <AdvoWork> bazhang, it has a feature available i need to use to do a fix, later versions have this feature also, but 8.2 is the only one i can restore to without fixing said issue lol
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> ilea:  tell the channel what your Video chipset is.
[09:22] <ilea> via chrome 9
[09:22] <red2kic> silvery: "The order the files are run determines the menu order in grub.cfg.
[09:22] <bazhang> AdvoWork, regressing repos and packages will only bring grief and breakage.
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> Softdroid:  pulse audio uses alsa. so its allready there.   I dont reccomend trying to remove pulse.
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> ilea:  thats one of the worst supported video chipsets out there for linux.
[09:23] <bazhang> ilea, that may not support compiz, ask in #compiz to be sure
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> ilea:  I dont know if  you even had the drivers working right - if compiz would work.
[09:23] <Frazer> hi ! what is the smallest Ubuntu dist that can runs? Because Mini Ubuntu need to download all the packages ; I would like to know if a base-Ubuntu dist exists with only minimal packages(shell...) ?
[09:23] <Softdroid> Dr_Willis: Thanks for your reply. but I use Audigy2 and I can't use all the futures with it
[09:23] <AdvoWork> bazhang, oh, any suggestions how can i get that package then? ive got the tar.gz but cant seem to install
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> Softdroid:  check the forums for tips/tricks.  I cant even recall any features of my AUdigy2 that i missed. :)

[09:37] <bazhang> !mintsupport | Tito0096
[09:37] <Frazer> yep gnewb but it downloads from web
[09:37] <Tito0096> Yes I know that
[09:37] <Tito0096> but since they are similar
[09:37] <bazhang> Tito0096, so mint is not supported here
[09:38] <gnewb> Frazer: Oh, offline install?
[09:38] <Frazer> yes
[09:38] <Tito0096> ive had many problems solved by not mentioning i had linux mint -_-
[09:38] <red2kic> Tito0096: Mac OSX are based on FreeBSD -- Does not make it the same thing. :P
[09:38] <Tito0096> lol
[09:38] <Frazer> Only the kernel and the shell and I would be ok !
[09:38] <bazhang> Tito0096, bad luck then. install Ubuntu and come back
[09:38] <Frazer> And I would like to know if such an iso exists
[09:38] <Tito0096> So you are just going to stop. . .and not even try to help?
[09:38] <Tito0096> since this is a grub problem
[09:39] <bazhang> Frazer, you'd not need an iso for that
[09:39] <gnewb> Frazer: Yes they do.
[09:39] <red2kic> Tito0096: I really would like to suggest you to try #grub channel.
[09:39] <bazhang> Tito0096, correct. go to mintsupport
[09:39] <Tito0096> mint support is deserted
[09:39] <Tito0096> no one is online
[09:39] <Tito0096> thus my presence here
[09:39] <bazhang> Tito0096, all the more reason to never use it
[09:39] <Frazer> gnewb: ?
[09:39] <Frazer> bazhang: u mean LFS i suppose?
[09:40] <Tito0096> bazhang, its pretty nice, this is the only quirk i have run into so far. .
[09:40] <gnewb> Frazer: Looking it up now....
[09:40] <bazhang> Frazer, no, but why not just remaster the mini or similar to what you want?
[09:41] <red2kic> Frazer: Use Mini.iso -- Don't go naive and install ubuntu-desktop. Install what you explicity want.
[09:41] <bazhang> Frazer, additionally you could choose one the base install packages and go that way
[09:41] <fenghuo> hello
[09:41] <Tito0096> grub is empty. . .
[09:41] <gnewb> Frazer:> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
[09:41] <Tito0096> well
[09:41] <Tito0096> most are afk
[09:41] <Frazer> My actual idea is to remaster actual ubuntu-desktop, remove what I want and repack the iso
[09:42] <llutz> !remaster | Frazer
[09:42] <bazhang> Frazer, thats more work than a base install, but sure its doable
[09:42] <Tito0096> red2kic please can you help?
[09:42] <silvery> I got 2 files with same numbers in grub.d: 20_memtest86+ and 20_linux_xen. Figured out that grub.cfg contains code only from 20_memtest86+ and nothing from 20_linux_xen, could this be because they have same numbers?
[09:43] <Tito0096> mint and ubuntu are really similar. and not in the sense of what they are based off of, like your argument with OSX being based off of FreeBSD
[09:43] <gnewb> Frazer:> That link I posted is what is called a Barebones install.
[09:43] <Cork> flash plays super fast in browsers for em (chrome, firefox and opera), tried to reinstall flash, totem, the browsers but can't find a solution
[09:43] <Frazer> hm Ok I take a look

[09:43] <red2kic> Tito0096: Okay. What is in  /boot/grub/grub.cfg?

[09:44] <Tito0096> Grub config - http://paste.ubuntu.com/581514/
[09:44] <red2kic> Tito0096: Because we don't really know what Linux Mint did.
[09:44] <Tito0096> well i modified the grub.cfg to add the file
[09:44] <Tito0096> and the option in grub2
[09:44] <Tito0096> as where the instructions on the plop website
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> You normally DONT edit grub.cfg by hand. You edit the /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/* files.
[09:45] <Tito0096> Ah
[09:45] <Tito0096> that makes much much more sense. .
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> See the grub2 docs/wiki/forums for details
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[09:45] <Tito0096> time to restore the old grub backup
[09:45] <Tito0096> grub.cfg
[09:45] <red2kic> Heh. Tito0096 ignored the message header in the file.
[09:45] <gnewb> Dr_Willis: Is that like conky.rc?
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> if you rerun update-grub - the grub.cfg gets regeernated.
[09:45] <Tito0096> ahhh
[09:45] <Tito0096> okay
[09:45] <ethanol> I keep getting Mar 17 10:44:56 ubuntu kernel: [ 7491.479367] multiqueue0:src[7128]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f5be737de4c sp 00007f5bde2885e0 error 6 in liborc-0.4.so.0.0.0[7f5be7367000+56000] whenever I try to play a .m4a podcast in rhythmbox
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> gnewb:  what does conky have to do wth grub? :)
[09:45] <Tito0096> I saw the header and i was like opps lol
[09:46] <ethanol> is there any coded/library I need to install to enable .m4a playback?
[09:46] <Tito0096> red2kic Dr_Willis - http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#rungrub2 -this is what I am trying to do
[09:46] <gnewb> Dr_Willis: I just asked because I did not know, on some systems dmenu,conky and such can edit that stuff.
[09:47] <johan^izi> amin: Go to System > Preferences > Keyboard > Mouse Keys
[09:47] <vpark> which is the best antivirus for Ubuntu?
[09:47] <amin> THANKS WORKED  :)
[09:47] <red2kic> !antivirus | vpark
[09:48] <johan^izi> ;)
[09:48] <gnewb> !best | vpark
[09:48] <red2kic> Tito0096: set root='(hd0,1)'
[09:48] <Tito0096> yeah i am looking over the wiki now
[09:49] <Tito0096> and i saw that entry before
[09:49] <red2kic> Tito0096: I was pointing out the quotes.
[09:49] <Tito0096> yep i did that
[09:49] <Tito0096> oh wait
[09:49] <Tito0096> i remember i took it off because i was trying to see if that made a difference lol
[09:49] <vpark>  ubottu:there may be document virus! aren't they?
[09:49] <ethanol> is there any coded/library I need to install to enable .m4a playback?
[09:50] <davzie> Bollocks. If I accidently hit enter when installing Ubuntu Server on the screen that lets me select services to install, is there any way I can get back to that screen?
[09:50] <red2kic> davzie: sudo tasksel, I think.
[09:50] <gnewb> ethanol: Is that a restricted package or format?
[09:50] <davzie> red2kic, champion, thanks :)
[09:51] <ethanol> gnewb: it's a podcast. rhythmbox keeps crashing when I try to play it.
[09:51] <vpark> there may be document viruses! aren't they? Shouldn't I be careful about them?
[09:51] <johan^izi> ethanol: You need to enable Multiverse and install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse.
[09:51] <gnewb> ethanol: Ok, have you apt-get update and upgrade?
[09:51] <ethanol> gnewb: basically what I did is, added this podcast url to rhythmbox: http://picklemonkey.net/flipper/convert.php?feed=http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/drum-bassarena-podcast/id110623324
[09:52] <ethanol> gnewb: yes, every day.
[09:52] <ethanol> johan^izi: I have it
[09:52] <fisix> hey, does anybody know how to rearrange the icons between and within the indicator applet and notification area?
[09:52] <Tito0096> red2kic - so i change the 40_custom file by adding that entry?
[09:52] <ethanol> johan^izi: actually I think I have 0.10
[09:52] <red2kic> vpark: If you're behind a router (firewall), you should be fine. However, I believe the viruses are mostly targetting for the servers.
[09:53] <maxillusionist> hi ilea
[09:53] <zvacet> vpark:  I don't thing there is linux virus in wild
[09:54] <red2kic> Tito0096: What is Plop? Do you need it? Paste the latest grub.cfg + "ls -al /boot"
[09:54] <Tito0096> red2kic - edit it like this correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/581520/
[09:54] <zvacet> vpark:  you can read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[09:55] <maxillusionist> zvacet it is wrong dude there are virus so fatal that you can't even imagine
[09:55] <Tito0096> red2kic - plop is a boot manager that lets you boot from usb on legacy devices
[09:55] <Tito0096> it can run along side everything which is good
[09:55] <zvacet> maxillusionist: can you point me to that
[09:55] <Tito0096> red2kic - atm i have a pc that cant boot from usb
[09:55] <Tito0096> so i need this lol
[09:55] <johan^izi> ethanol: hmm, do you have faad?
[09:55] <ethanol> johan^izi: http://pastebin.com/Pb7i47Ck
[09:56] <ethanol> johan^izi: faad?
[09:56] <ethanol> will search for that
[09:56] <Kills> why is ubuntu doesnt let me to play any of my audio players until a tab with a video  is no turned off?
[09:56] <red2kic> Tito0096: "file /boot/plpbt.bin"
[09:56] <gnewb> ethanol: There is also the Songbird thing:> http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/playing_m4a_files_on_ubuntu
[09:56] <red2kic> Tito0096: See if it's there. :)
[09:56] <ethanol> johan^izi: I have libfaad2 ?
[09:57] <Tito0096> file /boot/plpbt.bin
[09:57] <Tito0096> /boot/plpbt.bin: Linux kernel x86 boot executable zImage, version \353HdrS\006, RW-rootFS,
[09:57] <Tito0096> It is there
[09:57] <Tito0096> i made sure of it since the beginning
[09:57] <johan^izi> ethanol: faad - freeware Advanced Audio Decoder player :)
[09:57] <red2kic> Tito0096: Did you select Plop when it's booting up or it's simply not there? What was the response?
[09:57] <johan^izi> ethanol: and libfaad2
[09:57] <Tito0096> it always said "file not found"
[09:57] <ethanol> johan^izi: have both the shared and mp4 one
[09:57] <Tito0096> even though it was there and selectable
[09:58] <ethanol> johan^izi: don't have the command line tool though. would rhythmbox need it?
[09:58] <red2kic> Tito0096: Dunno. If everything worked, I don't know what to look for.
[09:58] <red2kic> Tito0096: (If everything are in places)
[09:58] <johan^izi> ethanol: no, i don't think so
[09:58] <cosmo_> I cant figure out what I have set wrong, the windows machines on my home network can see me and the folders I shared but when they try to access them they get the message "Not accessible Might not have permission"
[09:58] <Kills> this is just retarded why would some1 think that it would be good to shut down all media players till your on  a tab with video???
[09:59] <gnewb> I am going sailing now, y'all have fun and I thank you kindly.
[09:59] <Tito0096> red2kic - http://paste.ubuntu.com/581522/ - Grub.cfg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/581523/ - ls -al /boot
[09:59] <johan^izi> ethanol: try starting rythmbox from the command line and see what errors it prints when you try to play the m4a
[10:00] <alferio> ciao
[10:00] <red2kic> Tito0096: Seem fine -- What is in /boot/boot/
[10:00] <Tito0096> a folder with grub
[10:00] <Tito0096> and in that folder is a splash image
[10:00] <Kills> Any1 knows how make my media players play whenever I push play???

[10:01] <Tito0096> yeah i am going to delete it
[10:01] <red2kic> Tito0096: I'm out of ideas. "ls -al /boot/boot/"
[10:02] <johan^izi> ethanol: have a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592270
[10:02] <Tito0096> red2kic - that folder was made when i was reinstalling grub when windows took over
[10:02] <Tito0096> red2kic - i made a couple mistakes but now it works
[10:02] <ethanol> johan^izi: it's not installed
[10:02] <Tito0096> red2kic - so i am going to delete it to avoid confusion since the proper location has everything in there
[10:03] <johan^izi> ethanol: damn..
[10:03] <red2kic> Tito0096: Okay. I have no more solutions. Sorry.

[10:04] <johan^izi> ethanol: i think thats it for me :) You could try xmms or converting your files. but thats not really a solution imo. Maybe someone else here can help you?
[10:06] <ethanol> johan^izi: what player do you use?
[10:07] <HackeMate> hello, someone experienced with kerrighed?
[10:07] <khaard> anyone using ubuntu 10.04 server edition on ps3 console?
[10:07] <ethanol> johan^izi: if possible, could you try and check if you can play one of their files? (url: http://hwcdn.net/u5b4u5u8/cds/153.m4a )
[10:08] <ethanol> it plays fine for me in totem I just noticed
[10:08] <ethanol> :(
[10:08] <HackeMate> http://pastebin.com/5sEadEBT
[10:08] <ethanol> (which it opens in by default if I download a .m4a directly)
[10:08] <HackeMate> i were following this manual http://www.kerrighed.org/docs/releases/3.0/INSTALL
[10:08] <ethanol> so rhythmbox just doesn't like podcasts I guess. maybe cause it has a video stream? (even if it is just a static image)
[10:12] <ethanol> could anyone recommend a good podcast player?
[10:14] <jpds> ethanol: banshee.
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> !info miro
[10:14] <Tito0096> red2kic - http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#rungrub2 I am so stumped :(, just read the tutorial and tell me how you would start this
[10:14] <ethanol> jpds: will have a look, thanks
[10:14] <newbie101> hi all; What's the best way of connecting to the internet on ubuntu 10.04 through my nokia N95
[10:15] <loltoad> hey, any tips on profiling my boot up or system in general to speed things up?
[10:15] <elFidel> loltoad: bootchart might help understanding the boot-part
[10:15] <Boothk> Is this chat for support questions, or Ubuntu chat in general?
[10:16] <elFidel> Boothk: thats afaik a user2user help channel
[10:16] <ethanol> jpds: nope, banshee also crashes on these .m4a podcast files :<
[10:16] <Boothk> awesome. I'm somewhat new to bourne scripting and it hates me :V
[10:16] <elFidel> Boothk: so support -> see topic
[10:16] <loltoad> elFidel, ive ran bootchart before, but i wasn't sure what to do with the information, it was such a big file
[10:16] <zvacet> Boothk: support
[10:16] <newbie101> hi all; What's the best way of connecting to the internet on ubuntu 10.04 through my nokia N95?
[10:16] <elFidel> loltoad: i was talking about the image bootchart can generate
[10:17] <elFidel> and in case that part is not helpful - you should most likely not mess around with the idea of optimizing your boot-time
[10:17] <loltoad> elFidel, yea, even on that it was a massive image, i couldn't even visually pick out anythin gof value... though to be fair i don't quite know what to look for
[10:19] <Kills> why when i try to make a video fullscreen it ussually doesnt work?
[10:19] <elFidel> Kills: tried different players & video formats?
[10:20] <Kills> Im talking about videos from websites
[10:20] <elFidel> somehow your question right now isnt THAT DETAILED
[10:20] <elFidel> ah great
[10:20] <newbie101> What's the best way of connecting to the internet on ubuntu 10.04 through a mobile phone?
[10:21] <newbie101> i.e. nokia N95
[10:21] <Boothk> got this odd problem going on with iwconfig. I can set up wireless settings for a machine via .sh script, and configure the proxy so it'll go through. But no matter how hard i try, the machine refuses to pick up an IP address from DHCP server unless I use network-manager
[10:21] <jatt> it works with the n900
[10:21] <Kills> It very easy you play a youtube video froma website dif then youtube or someother flash video and whenyou try to go fullscreen the video keeps playing but you dont see nothing
[10:21] <jatt> you need to have the usb networking module in your kernel or as module I think ubuntu kernels already have it
[10:21] <jatt> then you need some iptables rules on the phone
[10:22] <jatt> it works fine
[10:22] <newbie101> is there a tutorial some here
[10:23] <juk> newbie101: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html
[10:24] <Kills> I get the feeling that ubuntu has a lot more bugs now at 10.10 than it had with 9.10
[10:25] <Boothk> Does anyone know why terminal might fail to pick up DHCP?
[10:26] <elFidel> Kills: video & flash is working great here - 10.10 too
[10:26] <Kills> well flash , audio quality and some other stuff aint exactly working great here
[10:27] <elFidel> Kills: checked if you got latest flash?
[10:27] <elFidel> some users tend to use flash ppa to get specific versions (afaik)
[10:27] <Kills> and srsly what the hell is with not letting media players play whenyou have a website tab with video opened
[10:27] <mads> HI all: How do i check what version and RC number of the kernel i have installed. "cat /proc/version" Returns: Linux version 2.6.38-6-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-5ubuntu1) ) #34-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 8 14:09:10 UTC 2011
[10:28] <mads> related to a bug test i need RC-8
[10:28] <ethanol> someone explain to me why totem can play my downloaded podcast files just fine (.m4a), but banshee _and_ rhythmbox both crash instantly when attempting playback? also, how coul I debug the cause of the crash?
[10:30] <ethanol> I take it back, they crash on everything now. even .mp3 :<
[10:30] <johan^izi> ethanol: Sure, one sec
[10:30] <ethanol> maybe I should remove some gstream packages
[10:30] <Kills> and i doesnt allow me to execute nothing and does not allow to change that in options
[10:31] <Kills> how to change my permissions so i could execute files with wine?
[10:32] <overclucker> chmod +x file
[10:32] <java_> hello
[10:32] <overclucker> but then, if you execute them directly with wine, you don't need to do that
[10:32] <zvacet> 1hi| java_
[10:32] <jokersmile> when i tried downloading 10.10 netbook edition it gave me desktop edition. why?
[10:32] <perl> just run them with wine
[10:32] <zvacet> !hi | java_
[10:33] <Boothk> isn't UNR 10.10 broken atm?
[10:33] <elFidel> jokersmile: netbook edition is dead afaik
[10:33]  * Boothk is using UNR 9.10
[10:33] <perl> there are other places to download unr 10.10
[10:33] <Kills> how to get permissions to execute files with wine is and easy question right?
[10:33] <jokersmile> what dose afaik mean
[10:33] <johan^izi> ethanol: I can play your link in Rythmbox, Banshee, VLC and Totem..
[10:33] <java_> Kills: chmod +x file
[10:33] <Boothk> akaik = as far as i know
[10:34] <java_> Kills: or right-click the file and mark as executable
[10:34] <jokersmile> oh
[10:34] <Kills> I have no idea what that means
[10:34] <almoxarife> Kills: you use what to look at files?
[10:34] <ethanol> johan^izi: it must be some conflict in my installed libraries. I can also play it fine in totem. but all other apps crash
[10:34] <Kills> yeah trying to do that aint workin
[10:34] <Kills> doesnt let me
[10:34] <Boothk> Kills, "chmod +x <file>" is a terminal command. Change "mode", add execute permission, to file
[10:35] <monaDeveloper> Hi
[10:35] <Boothk> if you need to, use sudo chmod +x <file>. sudo gives you root power (use responsibly)
[10:35] <overclucker> +x doesn't matter if he's trying to run them off an ntfs partition
[10:35] <Arabus> Good morning
[10:35] <java_> hi
[10:36] <monaDeveloper> I have dell xps m1530 but after a while using ubuntu I noticed that the machine is overheated
[10:36] <ethanol> johan^izi: I have no idea how to figure out which gstreamer libs I should install and which not (and which non-gstreamer ones)
[10:36] <Boothk> So.. nobody really knows about DHCP via terminal?
[10:36] <ethanol> johan^izi: but I can't even play mp3 files anymore in banshee and rhythmbox now :\
[10:36] <almoxarife> nautilus can change permissions, assuming the plugin is installed, unless you just love terminal
[10:36] <Kills> Boothk,  didint work
[10:36] <HackeMate> hello, i want to create a cluster with my old computers at home, kerrighed is a good project but just support 64bits
[10:36] <HackeMate> is there another project?
[10:36] <ethanol> johan^izi: totem still works fine though.. must use something else
[10:37] <java_> I'm having an issue with java... I can run a .jar using GUI but if I try to run it from terminal using "java -jar file.jar" it does not open. Help!
[10:37] <monaDeveloper> when I try to run a flash thing or try to use something like virtualbox I find my machines so overheated
[10:37] <johan^izi> ethanol: here is my config: http://pastebin.com/vzSrhxBy
[10:37] <monaDeveloper> sometimes reaches over 90
[10:37] <overclucker> Kills: just run: wine program.exe
[10:37] <monaDeveloper> and simply the machine turns off
[10:37] <jokersmile> what netbook version do people in here recomend. I already head a 9.10 but is I want to shoot for more recent because I figure that it is better.
[10:38] <Boothk> 9.10 is the most recent stable release as far as i know
[10:38] <almoxarife> java_: you are not in the directory where the jar is located?
[10:38] <monaDeveloper> that didn't happen before
[10:38] <java_> almoxarife: I am
[10:38] <almoxarife> java_: odd
[10:38] <java_> almoxarife: I will paste the output
[10:38] <almoxarife> java_: ok
[10:38] <jokersmile> ok i'll go for that.
[10:38] <Tito0096> Can someone help me out with this? - http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#rungrub2 - I need help going about with that section of the wiki
[10:38] <Arabus> I have a small problem regarding Ubuntu 10.04 - Some of our users are not able to log in successfully. When they type in username and password in the login prompt of gdm it turns black as if to load the desktop and then returns to the login prompt. Weird thing is, this only happens to some users not all of them.
[10:38] <Arabus> I have already tried looking into the logfiles but found no error message I could connect to this. also removing .gnome and .gnome2 folders from the home directory did not help either. Someone has a clue why this happens or where I could read more on that? I'd even be grateful about a pointer where I can increase the debug output of gdm.
[10:38] <monaDeveloper> any idea what should I do
[10:39] <java_> aloril: Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException
[10:39] <java_> almoxarife: Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException
[10:39] <Kills> doesnt let me
[10:39] <zvacet> Boothk: 10.10 is last see http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[10:39] <juk> monaDeveloper: using cooler pad doesnt help?
[10:40] <elFidel> Arabus: does that behaviour change if those users select another window-manager in gdm?
[10:40] <Boothk> zvacet: yes, but is it stable? I tried using it before and it didn't want to install
[10:40] <elFidel> i had that in 11.04 as well
[10:40] <Kills> this ubuntu aint anywhere even close to what you call a smooth expierence
[10:40] <hwnd> is there a patch or fix for xchat for unr 10.10, some reason i cant send or receive dcc
[10:40] <monaDeveloper> juk: I didn't try but this is a new thing
[10:40] <Arabus> elFidel: they are able to log in with openbox, but not with kde or gnome

[10:41] <elFidel> Arabus: hehe - sounds somehow known
[10:41] <ethanol> johan^izi: mp3 playback is working again. gonne check out podcasts now :x
[10:41] <fisix> can somebody go over to stackoverflow and tell them to unban me >___>, i've been trying to configure my auto-login favourites and signed in/out a bunch of times
[10:41] <Arabus> elFidel: I also have tried compelte reinstalls on different systems - to no avail
[10:41] <ethanol> johan^izi: meh still crashes. but loading the podcast rss feed in totem works, so I'll use that
[10:41] <Arabus> *complete
[10:41] <almoxarife> java_: the command is exact in terminal as it is in gui?
[10:42] <zvacet> Boothk:  soon you wil have to upgrade to 10.4 see if that version is stable
[10:42] <johan^izi> ethanol: meh, too bad, but at least you can listen to your dnb pods now ;)
[10:42] <elFidel> Arabus: always using the same install-source?
[10:42] <ethanol> johan^izi: yarrr :)
[10:43] <Arabus> elFidel: well I have been using the same repositories, installation of the machines is only a very basic ubuntu and then everything else gets installed via apt-get
[10:43] <elFidel> Arabus: k
[10:44] <juk> !grub2 | Tito0096
[10:44] <Tito0096> juk I have looked but my problem is specific
[10:45] <ethanol> is there a ubuntu dev channel for players like banshee/rhythmbox where I could go to perhaps debug the crashes these .m4a files are causing?
[10:45] <samueldaniel7> hello guys
[10:45] <Boothk> Any takers for figuring out why DHCP won't pick up in terminal?
[10:45] <samueldaniel7> this is fucking cool
[10:45] <samueldaniel7> any hardcore hackers here
[10:46] <DJones> !hacking | samueldaniel7
[10:46] <juk> Tito0096: mention it, may be you get lucky and someone helps
[10:46] <Arabus> elFidel: If I could increase the debug output of gdm maybe I could figure out what is wrong - currently I only get an omnious error message that also appears when a successful login happens. So this seems unrelated
[10:47] <legoeland> hello ! Is there a possibility to join my wifi printer HP (WPS button) with my wifi USB key Trendnet ?

[10:48] <h2o_> hello everyone...i've got a problem here with some *beep* wireless card... when i want to turn it on with "ifconfig wlan0 up" i get this error in return: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory .... any ideas anyone?
[10:48] <Boothk> sacarlson: No, I've tried using dhclient wlan0 -r, dhclient wlan0 (release/renew) and /etc/init.d/networking force-reload, both usually fail
[10:48] <samueldaniel7> ok guys
[10:48] <zvacet> Cork: did you tried to reinstasll them in synaptic
[10:48] <samueldaniel7> any hard core hackers here
[10:48] <Boothk> sacarlson: The only exception seems to be after I've logged into the gui and gotten an ip via network-manger before release/renew works properly
[10:49] <erUSUL> h2o_: what wifi chip ?
[10:49] <h2o_> erUSUL: ISL3886

[10:50] <legoeland> is someone can help me ?
[10:50] <Boothk> sacarlson: Also noticed that entering the name of the wireless network I'm trying to connect to doesn't add it to the iwconfig properties, but any other name DOES add =/
[10:50] <h2o_> erUSUL: it's not a good card, but at the moment this is all i've got ... the official name is: Siemens gigaset usb stick 54

[10:52] <DJones> samueldaniel7: This channel is just for support questions
[10:52] <h2o_> Kills: chmod
[10:52] <erUSUL> h2o_: it looks like it uses zd1211rw
[10:52] <High_Priest> Kills, the same way as in all other distros: chmod
[10:53] <erUSUL> h2o_: do you have the linux-firmware package installed ?¿
[10:53] <other_> rightclick file, properties, file access modality
[10:53] <Boothk> Kills: Normally, you would do something like "sudo chmod o+x <full filepathname>
[10:53] <Kills> didint work tryed to do chmod +x to the file
[10:53] <h2o_> erUSUL: yes, i've read that somewhere...i have the zd1211rw installed
[10:53] <Kills> it didint do anything
[10:53] <h2o_> by default
[10:53] <java_> I solved my java problem by installing openjdk..
[10:53] <hydraD> anybody can help me with one tutorial for ubuntu server to make one  server for lan with Bandwidth rulles?
[10:53] <Kills> yeah gave the thing the full pathname
[10:53] <overclucker> ultraviolet: unetbootin is good way
[10:54] <erUSUL> h2o_: you installed some third party driver?
[10:54] <hydraD> anybody can help me with one tutorial for ubuntu server to make one  server for lan with Bandwidth rulles?
[10:54] <hydraD> anybody can help me with one tutorial for ubuntu server to make one  server for lan with Bandwidth rulles?
[10:54] <h2o_> erUSUL: no, i didn't install any driver
[10:54] <High_Priest> hydraD, no need to repeat/flood
[10:54] <erUSUL> h2o_: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware
[10:54] <hydraD> sory
[10:54] <Arabus> I have a small problem regarding Ubuntu 10.04 - Some of our users are not able to log in successfully. When they type in username and password in the login prompt of gdm it turns black as if to load the desktop and then returns to the login prompt. Weird thing is, this only happens to some users not all of them.
[10:54] <Arabus> I have already tried looking into the logfiles but found no error message I could connect to this. also removing .gnome and .gnome2 folders from the home directory did not help either. Someone has a clue why this happens or where I could read more on that? I'd even be grateful about a pointer where I can increase the debug output of gdm.
[10:55] <ultraviolet> overclucker: Thank you kindly.
[10:55] <erUSUL> hydraD: make specific questions...
[10:55] <h2o_> erUSUL: E: Unable to locate package linux-firmware .... lol? :)
[10:55] <Kills> this is just stupid i set my account as admin it still doesnt let me execute it
[10:55] <Boothk> Kills: can you tell me what permissions are set and who the owner/groups are on the file?
[10:55] <erUSUL> !find linux-firmware
[10:55] <High_Priest> hydraD, so you want to do traffic shaping for internal lan users via linux router?
[10:55] <erUSUL> !info linux-firmware
[10:55] <overclucker> ultraviolet: yup, works for some other distros to
[10:55] <hydraD> yes
[10:55] <hydraD> this is
[10:56] <erUSUL> h2o_: !? what version of ubuntu?
[10:56] <hydraD> ubuntu server
[10:56] <overclucker> s/to/too
[10:56] <Kills> it is my group and it says read a write
[10:56] <ultraviolet> overclucker: I see so, but, ubuntu seems easiest to install in a hurry ;-)
[10:56]  * ultraviolet favours gentoo usually.
[10:56] <High_Priest> hydraD, there's a plenty of documents online which describe the complete procedure how to do it.. just google for linux router traffic shaping
[10:56] <Boothk> so, if you use ls -l in the folder
[10:56] <sacarlson> Boothk: I've had share of problems with network-manager maybe part of your problem in this case maybe try disable it.  I guess you setup wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[10:56] <hydraD> ok thanks verry much
[10:56] <h2o_> erUSUL: i use crunchbang...which is equal to ubuntu lucid i think or koala
[10:57] <h2o_> erUSUL: w8 i'll check
[10:57] <Boothk> sacarlson: Yeah, my script configures that file. I can PM you what I put in there
[10:57] <sacarlson> Boothk: ok
[10:57] <perseguidor> hello, I tried to install aircrack-ng svn but I got an error and somebody told me that I might need to install subversion, do you know how can I do that?
[10:57] <erUSUL> h2o_: "ls /lib/firmware/zd1211*" gives any result?
[10:58] <samueldaniel7> ok guys tell me how can i remote desktop from a linux machine
[10:58] <juk> Arabus: are some of those users use nvidia drivers?
[10:58] <lesshaste>  hi I just installed apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38-7-generic linux-headers-2.6.38-7 on lucid
[10:58] <h2o_> erUSUL: :) no... no such file or dir....
[10:58] <lesshaste> but weirdly, I can't actually find vmlinuz-2.6.38-7-generic
[10:58] <lesshaste> any idea what is going on?
[10:58] <Arabus> juk: all of them, there are nvidia cars in most of our computers
[10:59] <erUSUL> h2o_: well there you have the pointer you need. find out how to get that firmware in crunchbang
[10:59] <erUSUL> !crunchbang
[10:59] <overclucker> lesshaste: only the headers?
[10:59] <juk> Arabus: did you check X logs?
[10:59] <lesshaste> overclucker: oh..er... oops
[10:59] <h2o_> erUSUL: ok, i'll try to install it ... brb :)
[10:59] <h2o_> so zd1211rw you say
[11:00] <Arabus> juk: I have but did not find anything indicating problems. Is there a way to icnrease the debug output for that?
[11:00] <juk> Arabus: dont know, what is you type startx?
[11:00] <jokersmile> is it possible to downgrade from 10.10 desktop to NBR 10.10
[11:01] <Arabus> juk:  Please elaborate, I do not understand what you mean.
[11:01] <zvacet> jockersmile: I think you will have to reinstall
[11:01] <robbiethe1st> jokersmile: Isn't the difference just the desktop "theme" or desktop environment? I assume you could probably just load the right config package and do it without issue
[11:01] <Kills> ah forget these ubuntu are like riding a horse to work instead of takeing the car
[11:01] <Kills> maybe Ill come back and try them in 5 years
[11:02] <juk> Arabus: i meant, can you manually start X session by typing startx in terminal
[11:02] <Kills> good luck to ya all geeks your ubuntu still has years to go to reach windows
[11:03] <Sil4nc4> hi guys, a little question about sudo: www-data ALL=(core) NOPASSWD: GIT_SCRIPT
[11:03] <jokersmile> are the config packages what you would find in synaptic package manager
[11:03] <robbiethe1st> Kills: I argue the other way. Windows has loads to reach the usefulness of Linux
[11:03] <h2o_> erUSUL: i installed it through apt-get.... sudo apt-get install zd1211-firmware
[11:03] <robbiethe1st> jokersmile: try installing these packages https://launchpad.net/~netbook-remix-team/+archive/ppa
[11:03] <jokersmile> im linux all the way
[11:03] <Sil4nc4> this cmd would mean i could run git_script command as user core?
[11:03] <pc10> при
[11:03] <Sil4nc4> without a password
[11:03] <robbiethe1st> They should actually be in the main repo, but those are the names you want
[11:03] <Arabus> juk: I have not tried that, maybe this gives me more verbose output - thanks for the idea.
[11:03] <pc10> что это?
[11:03] <Kills> usefulnes if a simple user wastes 1 day to get 1 simple program runing and still doesnt manage to do it
[11:04] <overclucker> Kills: what are you trying to run, anyways?
[11:04] <robbiethe1st> Kills: What the heck were you trying to do? Install Compiz from git?
[11:04] <h2o_> erUSUL: now i've got it to load with ifconfig up... but it doesn't catch any wireless signals from routers :( any idea why is that?
[11:04] <Kills> you have to waste 3 months on learning to be able to use ubuntu and I dont have that i have work i have life
[11:04] <h2o_> erUSUL: ooooo wait...it does!! :D thanks man
[11:04] <robbiethe1st> Kills: "sudo apt-get install *name*" should install most anything.

[11:05] <robbiethe1st> Kills: And if you can't be bothered to be polite to the people helping you out of the goodness of their hearts...
[11:05] <Kills> i undersatnd taht but everybody assumes here that I know all the steps till the last step
[11:05] <Kills> which they tell me
[11:06] <Kills> and that aint usefull at all whenyou dont where to start
[11:06] <robbiethe1st> Well, then, tell us what the heck you're trying to do?
[11:06] <Sil4nc4> hi guys, a little question about sudo: www-data ALL=(core) NOPASSWD: GIT_SCRIPT, means I can as user www-data run the git_script command with user core without a password right?
[11:06] <robbiethe1st> What program do you want to run, anyhow?
[11:06] <Kills> I tryed forums guides and stuff it just eatsa lot of time
[11:06] <jokersmile> thanks robiethe1st: I new there was some easy way to downgrade
[11:06] <h2o_> erUSUL: i'm gonna go and try to connect to a network... need to disconnect from wired.... thanks again 4 your help... i'm happy to see ppl willing to help :)
[11:06] <h2o_> bye bye everyone
[11:06] <Kills> ubuntu aint even close to the smoothnesss and ease of use to windows
[11:06] <robbiethe1st> jokersmile: Well, it's not exactly a downgrade - Just a different UI.
[11:06] <researcher1> how can I install many number of applications available in the list of Ubuntu Software center?
[11:07] <Kills> k good bye gtg to work now
[11:07] <Sil4nc4> Kills, this is not a windows vs linux channel
[11:07] <Sil4nc4> i want to get help
[11:07] <robbiethe1st> Kills: But, in Windows, you can't just go "sudo apt-get install X Y Z". Makes things so much easier.
[11:07] <Kills> good luck to ya all
[11:07] <juk> Kills: dont say twice please
[11:07] <Kills> robbie ubuntu has far worse problems than just going to the net to downlaod a program
[11:08] <Sil4nc4> weird guy
[11:08] <overclucker> say hi to windows for me
[11:08] <robbiethe1st> *sigh*. I'm glad we have Windows - so -we- don't have to be stuck wuth such people.

[11:08] <robbiethe1st> Sil4nc4: Um, "man sudoers" possibly?
[11:09] <Sil4nc4> robbiethe1st, :) i know but check this
[11:09] <Sil4nc4> hi guys, a little question about sudo: www-data ALL=(core) NOPASSWD: GIT_SCRIPT, means I can as user www-data run the git_script command with user core without a password right?
[11:09] <jjp_> Sil4nc4: take a chance to ask your need
[11:09] <overclucker> he was just frustrated
[11:09] <Sil4nc4> it keeps asking for the password
[11:09] <osse> Hi! Let's say I want to get the number of files beginning with the letter D in ~ I can do ls ~/D* | wc -l. But what if I want to store this in a variable? number=`ls ~/D* | wc -l`doesn't work because I can't use wildcards in a subshell this way.
[11:10] <robbiethe1st> Sil4nc4: Try "git_script". Capitalization matters.
[11:10] <jjp_> osse: wrong, you will also list directories begining with D
[11:10] <Sil4nc4> its a cmnd_alias robbiethe1st
[11:10] <h2o_> erUSUL: :)) it works!! :)
[11:11] <jjp_> osse: try `ls |grep ^D|wc -l`

[11:19] <hobomo> does anyone know how to refresh hardware in ubuntu 10.04?
[11:20] <Diamondcite> I am not sure if one of your devices are not detected, but most of the time a linux system should just detect most of the hardware on boot
[11:21] <Diamondcite> Though if you think you have installed something special you can try to look in System -> administration -> additional hardware (or something like that)
[11:22] <Diamondcite> hrm.. not detecting a disconnect..
[11:23] <hobomo> Diamondcite, no the hardware is detected properly, but doesnt unmount properly
[11:23] <Diamondcite> hobomo: Have you looked in /var/log/messages to see if the kernel can see a disconnection?
[11:23] <hobomo> Diamondcite, no lemme check
[11:24] <Diamondcite> hobomo: You could also look at /dev for the remnants of your usb drive by looking for /dev/sdb when you unplug it?
[11:28] <hobomo> Diamondcite, theres a weird repeating error in /var/log/messages
[11:28] <stevecam> hello, how do i go about setting my max volume in ubuntu so it doesn't go over the unamplified mark
[11:28] <Diamondcite> hobomo: Please try to paste them inside http://paste.ubuntu.com

[11:30] <jokersmile> How do I get my computer to scan for networks so that I can pick my network

[11:31] <lathan_devers> dwarder, osticket is nice
[11:31] <lathan_devers> dwarder, also otrs

[11:32] <jokersmile> you mean ubuntu? I have 10.10

[11:52] <dr0id> so Dir/now_you_hit_tabs_and_you_get_file_name
[11:52] <meero> Milossh: maybe dhcp3 client is rewriting it..

[12:07] <grndlvl> endafy: so don't use it
[12:07] <Milossh> meero: I want to paste something for you, but can't open pastebin
[12:07] <endafy> fuck off this is bullshit there has to be a way
[12:07] <grndlvl> lmao
[12:07] <Pici> endafy: Mind your language.  Follow the instructions on the wiki there if you want it to work.
[12:08] <grndlvl> some ppl
[12:10] <jjp_> endafy: making it legal requires a (paid) agreement with the DVD consortium in order to get a decryption key. If you fund the realisation of the agreement, I'm sure developpers will fix the soft.
[12:11] <Pici> jjp_: Hes not here anymore.
[12:11] <Cosmo`> can anyone tell me how i can get the battery indicator to show percentages?
[12:11] <jigynet> Is anyone here familiar with bleachbit?
[12:11] <jjp_> Pici: ouch, sorry
[12:11] <grndlvl> jjp_: they already left, they could have found out by reading and its not difficult to add they just don't really care
[12:12] <bboi> hi eveyone
[12:12] <jjp_> yeah. This DVD issue is frustrating
[12:12] <jigynet> =c i want to know if there is anything i shouldn't tell bleachbit to do
[12:14] <red2kic> I bet reading manuals are frustrating for that dude too.
[12:14] <grndlvl> for the best really if they became so frustrated w/ a trivial task then well they would certainly have a hard time doing nearly everything else
[12:15] <jjp_> grndlvl: agreed. So far, I found adding dvd decryption relatively easy
[12:16] <grndlvl> it sucks but necessary due to legal crap :( unless everyone wants to pay per copy of ubuntu for something that we can add easily
[12:16] <jigynet> to heck with that
[12:16] <jigynet> you'd get pirated ubuntu xD
[12:16] <MitchHuggins> Lol.
[12:17] <Kre10s_> hey!
[12:17] <remus_> hey guys.. on ubuntu 10.10, running on an acer extensa 5220, i have installed the broadcom wireless driver from repos, the switch on/off button works, the lspci sees the device, the question is, how to connect to my wireless network?
[12:17] <jigynet> but i'd be happy to donate cash randomly for a fantasic product xD
[12:17] <jjp_> Honestly, it may still prove easier the way it is currently on Ubuntu than actually installing a proprietary DVD soft on Windows
[12:17] <Kre10s_> I'm using the huawei 3g modem to write this message! the modem is working. however, it only works if I plug it in and leave it for 20 min.
[12:18] <jigynet> remus you click on the up and down arrows in the top right and select your network
[12:19] <Kre10s_> is there a known problem with this device?
[12:19] <od3y> what???
[12:19] <jigynet> kre10 sounds normal.. are you multitasking when you plug it in?
[12:20] <jigynet> what kinda pc are you plugging it into?
[12:20] <jjp_> kre10: do u have kernel messagers related to this device ?
[12:20] <jjp_> messages
[12:20] <Bilz> hello, how do i get the timestamp of a file when it was last saved
[12:20] <jigynet> ^error messages^
[12:21] <Kre10s_> im on an hp 625. when i try to connect it fails. but if i leave the usb modem plugged in it will connect after 20min
[12:21] <Kre10s_> im grabbing the logs now
[12:21] <grndlvl> remus_: if its installed correctly which it sounds like it does if it lights up, then you *should* be able to https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/connect.html

[12:24] <jrib> jraws: what's your support question?
[12:24] <grndlvl> sunit: make the time shorter for testing and see if it does what you wanted it to do?
[12:25] <jigynet> kre10 those specs look good, shouldn't be that it's just busy.. but everytime you remove it..it may have to re-install it's drivers and that would take a bit
[12:25] <jigynet> what??
[12:25] <jraws> jrib: i'm requesting general advice & suggestions as well as practical suggestions for a charitable good deed.

[12:31] <wakawaka_> hi all, im using vsftpd, a user can login and create a file fine, but the created file is drwx------, any idea why / how to change the default permissions?
[12:32] <jigynet> jraws you in offtopic?
[12:32] <erUSUL> wakawaka_: see how to set umask for thse users/ftp
[12:32] <jrib> wakawaka_: search http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html for "umask"
[12:32] <eXpLoD> how is the default color picker called?
[12:33] <wakawaka_> erUSUL, jrib: i tried umask, but maybe i didn't set it right, thanks for the link jrib
[12:33] <jigynet> gsm modem for a cdma network lol
[12:33] <jigynet> that modem you have is configure to use cellphone towers
[12:34] <grndlvl> wakawaka_: also could be setting of the client
[12:34] <jigynet> there should be settings to change this tho right?
[12:34] <MarconM> i want to know how i can to link a file and open it with a command in whatever place , typing a command
[12:34] <wakawaka_> grndlvl: how do you mean? what should be changed?
[12:34] <MarconM> with command ln -s
[12:35] <jrib> MarconM: I don't understand your question.  Give an example please
[12:35] <grndlvl> wakawaka_: some ftp clients allow you to specify the perms of files that are uploaded
[12:35] <MarconM> ok
[12:35] <jigynet> Kre10s, are you able to connect in windows?
[12:35] <bullgard4> After dist-upgrade and rebooting I need to configure Grub 1.98-1ubuntu9. What do the letters  X and Y mean in the syntax "set root=(hdX,Y)"?
[12:35] <MarconM> jrib, do you know o command " ln -s "
[12:35] <wakawaka_> grndlvl: hm ok i'll look into that, thanks
[12:35] <jrib> !grub2 | bullgard4
[12:35] <MarconM> it make link
[12:35] <jrib> MarconM: yes
[12:35] <MarconM> ok ...
[12:36] <MarconM> all the command of the linux are on folder /usr/bin
[12:36] <MarconM> ok
[12:36] <MarconM> the meanly commands
[12:36] <jrib> MarconM: please just explain on one line
[12:36] <eXpLoD> how is the default color picker called?the one that pops out when you click choose colors in many apps and displays both rgb and hex codes
[12:36] <MarconM> okkkkk sorry .... eXpLoD ... ok i want to open a file typing a command
[12:37] <jrib> eXpLoD: I would guess that's just a part of gtk
[12:37] <eXpLoD> yeah,but i wanna start it manually,whats the command for it
[12:37] <jrib> MarconM: this isn't an example.  Do you just want to add a program to your PATH by creating a symlink so you can call it without giving the full path?
[12:38] <jrib> eXpLoD: apt-cache search color pick  should give you options
[12:38] <MarconM> ok ... i have a txt file ok
[12:38] <jrib> MarconM: you have a text file. ok.
[12:38] <grndlvl> eXpLoD: maybe gcolor2? sorry not on my linux box atm
[12:39] <wakawaka_> erUSUL, jrib: no luck on umask, set umask=077 in vsftpd.config, restart, re-logged in, mkdir has drwx------, any other thoughts?
[12:39] <eXpLoD> hmm,running in terminal both gcolor and gcolor2 says command not found
[12:39] <jrib> wakawaka_: I told you to search for umask on the page I linked.  Then you have to read about all the options that involve umask
[12:39] <ruan> MarconM: do you want to open the txt file with a command?
[12:40] <jrib> eXpLoD: because you have to install it.
[12:40] <wakawaka_> jrib: shoot, sorry if i missed something - will re-read
[12:40] <MarconM> marcon.txt on a folder .. ok ... or could be a log file ... lets go .. but this file stay in folder /home/myfolder/file/job/marcon/test... omg .. i have type all this soh a want tipy just a one command, like htop, telnet, gimp and open it
[12:40] <jigynet> jrib, for a prison..education and entertainment would be best to focus on..something that even if all 20 computers are in use that could still be a group activity for those not seated at the pc's
[12:40] <bullgard4> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 does not define what X  and Y mean. But this was my question.
[12:40] <eXpLoD> but how do i run it,if it;s not installed?
[12:40] <Pici> eXpLoD: the color picker that programs use is not a separate program. Its part of GTK.
[12:40] <robdig> wakawaka_: look at file open mode
[12:40] <jigynet> oh shoot did i direct that at the wrong guy?
[12:40] <Pici> !away > dkannan
[12:40] <ruan> MarconM: [program] [file]. eg. "gedit path/to/file/file.txt"
[12:40] <ikonia> bullgard4: it's the disk ID and partitoin for your system, X and Y are place holders that you swap out relevant to your system
[12:40] <coz_> eXpLoD,  sudo apt-get install agave
[12:40] <wakawaka_> robdig: set that 0777 too, no luck
[12:40] <overclucker> wakawaka_: umask shoud be the inverse of the permissions you want 077 sets 700
[12:41] <MarconM> ruan, ??????????
[12:41] <sunit> grndlvl: if I try to create a cron job to be run every 5 minute interval , what are the steps ?
[12:41] <jrib> bullgard4: the first argument is the number corresponding to a device (starts at 0), the second is the number corresponding to a partition (starts at 1)
[12:41] <jigynet> I've selected everything available in bleachbit, but i want to know if this is a bad idea before i give it a go..anyone have any idea?
[12:41] <elb0w> Whats the easiest way to install fonts?
[12:41] <wakawaka_> overclucker: so to get 077 permissions id set umask to 700?
[12:42] <ruan> MarconM: the command is "gedit /home/myfolder/file/job/marcon/test/marcon.txt"
[12:42] <elb0w> do I just make a ~/.fonts folder and copy them there?
[12:42] <Kre10s> jigynet: yes. I can connect under windows. but whats that indicate?
[12:42] <ikonia> !fonts | elb0w
[12:42] <coz_> elb0w,   click on the font and a dialog will appear with "install"  button
[12:42] <elb0w> o
[12:42] <ruan> MarconM: it depends what text editor you want to open it with though
[12:42] <wakawaka_> overclucker: ah gotchya, thanks!
[12:42] <overclucker> wakawaka_: yup,
[12:42] <Kre10s> I'm connected now. It just takes forever to make the connection.
[12:43] <rizzuh> Hmm... why exactly is aptitude gone now?
[12:43] <overclucker> 077 seems like a strange set of permissions
[12:43] <coz_> elb0w,  to use that font you will need to regenerate font cache with   sudo fc-cache -fv
[12:43] <bazhang> rizzuh, save disk space, you can install it
[12:43] <rizzuh> bazhang, meh... 20MB?
[12:43] <coz_> elb0w,  otherwise font cache will be regenerated on reboot
[12:43] <jigynet> Kre10s, was just wondering if for somereason it was configured diffrently..you could try a diffrent manufacturer and see if that makes a diffrence.. do you also have slow speeds?
[12:44] <rizzuh> bazhang, capacities are measured in gigabytes now, so saving 20MB sounds stupid, if it is that much.
[12:44] <bazhang> rizzuh, on the CD
[12:44] <ikonia> rizzuh: on a 700 meb install CD it's not
[12:44] <jigynet> Kre10s, is this something you bought at a store to connect to the net..or something that an isp gave you?
[12:44] <rizzuh> bazhang, ... I still wonder why Ubuntu doesn't ship on DVDs already.
[12:45] <bullgard4> jrib: How can I determine this device number and this partition number?
[12:45] <ikonia> rizzuh: because not all servers have DCD
[12:45] <ikonia> DVD
[12:45] <grndlvl> sunit: https://secure.jabsupport.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=135 <-- this looks to be accurate and states what each time value is. I think it would be something like */12 * * * * "PATH/SCRIPT"
[12:45] <Pici> rizzuh: There is a DVD available if you want.
[12:45] <riveryk> hispano
[12:45] <rizzuh> ikonia, for servers you doin't need to ship the whole GUI in the disc.
[12:45] <jrib> bullgard4: is there a reason you aren't using UUID?
[12:45] <Pici> !es | riveryk
[12:45] <ikonia> rizzuh: running a gui on a server is fine
[12:45] <bazhang> riveryk, #ubuntu-es
[12:45] <Kre10s> jigynet: I bought it at the isp. its from TIM but my isp is VIVO.
[12:46] <rizzuh> ikonia, and besides, with servers you can usually use a BMC to mount the image from a network share, or spend $20 and get a USB reader, since servers run for several hundred to several thousand.
[12:46] <coz_> rizzuh,  the alternative to a dvd install is the minimal install cd  which will list available packages /  DE 's   during install but is only a 12 meg download
[12:46] <ikonia> rizzuh: you don't dictate what people useually do
[12:46] <ikonia> rizzuh: it's 20 meg, if it's not a big deal, download it
[12:46] <rizzuh> ikonia, sure, but crippling the distro because of old technologies is not that great.
[12:46] <grndlvl> bah thats wrong actually */5 * * * * maybe... I usually have to play around with it a few times actually lol i rarely set one up
[12:46] <ikonia> rizzuh: it's not crippling a distro
[12:46] <wakawaka_> overclucker: any idea if there's a way to set the default group for a created file?
[12:47] <Pici> grndlvl: Thats correct
[12:47] <jigynet> rizzuh,  so you expect everyone to go .0020 gigabytes instead of saying 20MB?
[12:47] <rizzuh> ikonia, almost.
[12:47] <jrib> MarconM: the syntax to create a symlink is: ln -s TARGET NAME.  So for example if you want to create a symlink to /home/jrib/some/really/long/path/coolfile in /home/jrib, you could do: ln -s /home/jrib/some/really/long/path/coolfile /home/jrib/coolfile
[12:47] <overclucker> wakawaka_: not sure if vsftpd can do that or not
[12:47] <ikonia> rizzuh: not in the smallest part is it crippling a dsitro
[12:47] <rizzuh> jigynet, I expect people to stop using wimpy CDs.
[12:47] <bullgard4> jrib Yes, after dist-upgrade and restart Grub 1.98-1ubuntu9 asks me to enter this syntax following "set_".
[12:47] <jigynet> lol
[12:47] <Kre10s> jigynet: speed is ok...
[12:47] <bazhang> rizzuh, lets move on please
[12:47] <wakawaka_> overclucker: ok, thanks again for the umask help!
[12:47] <rizzuh> alright
[12:48] <jigynet> rizzuh, not until usb 3.0 is cheap and is actually faster then any other media
[12:48] <jrib> bullgard4: what do you mean by dist-upgrade?  Did you upgrade release versions?  Where/when is grub asking you?
[12:48] <bazhang> jigynet, lets move on past this please
[12:48] <jigynet> until then it's dvds/cds and portable hd's
[12:49] <jigynet> dang baz do you always have to mess with our conversations?
[12:49] <jigynet> interjection is quite rude..
[12:49] <Pici> jigynet: This channel has guidelines that people should follow if they want to continue to use the channels.  You can read them here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[12:50] <jigynet> Kre10s, so this only happens when you remove the device or each time you reboot?
[12:51] <Kre10s> The problem I have is that I cannot connect the device manually.
[12:51] <Kre10s> I have to plug it in and count sheep for 20 minutes
[12:51] <Kre10s> It will eventually connect on its own.
[12:51] <jigynet> i'm pretty sure i haven't violated a rule that would entitle someone to persistently interject, even in off-topic...
[12:52] <jigynet> everytime you remove it and re-insert it.. it installs drivers and such
[12:52] <ikonia> jigynet: he's just trying to guide you back to ontopic support discussion
[12:52] <jigynet> why do you need to keep removeing it?
[12:53] <jigynet> ikonia,  it was a single line of text... and all i intended.. i would take it to ot if he wanted to continue
[12:54] <ikonia> ]jok, so he asked you to move past it, and you did, great, lets move on
[12:54] <jigynet> but thank you xD
[12:54] <Pici> jigynet: If you disagree with an action of an operator you can take it up in pm or in #ubuntu-ops, otherwise we should keep #ubuntu clear for those who want support :)
[12:55] <Pici> Kre10s: Does dmesg indicate that anything is happening during those 20 minutes?
[12:57] <bullgard4> jrib: »dist-upgrade« was my short-hand for the command '~$ sudo update-manager -d'. Yes, I did upgrade a release version. The very last step of the '~$ sudo update-manager -d' procedure requested me to reboot. The very first prompt after rebooting is for Grub and requires that I enter my start data medium using the syntax: 'set root=(hdX,Y)'.
[12:57] <ikonia> update-manager -d
[12:57] <ikonia> bullgard4: why di dyou use update-manager -d ?
[12:57] <Kre10s> Pici: heres todays output. http://paste.ubuntu.com/581573/

[12:58] <eXpLoD> lol Pilopew this is not malvager
[12:58] <Pilopew> nothing, wrong channel
[12:58] <gottem> what if one day you woke up and your nipples were completely gone
[12:58] <gottem> like no scars or anything, just flat skin
[12:58] <gottem> and then once you leave your room you find out your dad died last night
[12:58] <gottem> and then several days later, you find out that for your entire life your dad had been sneaking into your room while you slept
[12:58] <gottem> and sucking on your chest to make to gigantic hickeys where your nipples should be
[12:58] <gottem> because you were born without them

[12:58] <gottem> not for any sexual reason, just so you would fit in

[12:58] <jrib> bullgard4: so you are on natty now?
[12:58] <ikonia> bullgard4: then it's not supported and disscussion is in #ubuntu+1
[12:59] <bullgard4> jrib:  Yes.
[12:59] <bullgard4> ikonia: No. There is no diskcussion in #ubuntu+1.
[12:59] <coz_> bullgard4,  well it may be that many of the people are not at their systems right now
[13:00] <coz_> bullgard4,  it has been slow...but that is the channel to be in for natty
[13:00] <ikonia> bullgard4: thats sad, but it's where the discussion for ubuntu 111.04 is, please join
[13:00] <ikonia> bullgard4: 11.04-pre-release is not a supported distro
[13:00] <jrib> bullgard4: read the !grub2 wiki page while you wait, but the proper channel for natty issues is #ubuntu+1
[13:00] <bullgard4> coz_: What do you mean by "their systems"?
[13:00] <ikonia> bullgard4: at their systems that they use to type messaages
[13:01] <coz_> bullgard4,  they may be logged on but at school...work...etc etc
[13:01] <Doonz> I just got a VPS box with ubuntu 10.04 installed. I created 2 new users. How do i get them to have the same terminal feel as the original user (sorry i dont know what to call it)
[13:01] <sunit> grndlvl: Thanks
[13:01] <jrib> Doonz: if you created the users with "adduser" (which copies /etc/skel to their homes, they should
[13:02] <bullgard4> jrib: I have been reading the wiki page while I was waiting. There the precise meaning of X and Y is not explained.
[13:02] <ikonia> bullgard4: it's been explained to you please join #ubuntu+1
[13:02] <coz_> bullgard4,  you question has been answered in #ubuntu+1
[13:05] <bullgard4> coz_: You are in error.
[13:06] <coz_> bullgard4,  one thing you have to keep in mind on irc,,, everyone here is a volunteer,, with their time... their knowledge,,, not everyone is correct all the time...which is an advantage on irc because someone can catch a typo  or  wrong  solution
[13:07] <Roland_> Hello, i am in need of assistance.
[13:07] <coz_> bullgard4,  it also means many times  that you have to stick around ,, and wait,, since everyone has a real life  aka   school...family...etc
[13:07] <bazhang> Roland_, with what
[13:07] <blackshirt> Roland: jusk ask here,
[13:07] <Roland_> Installing ubuntu
[13:07] <ruan> how do i remove assistive technologies completely?
[13:08] <jrib> hi Roland_ , we like it when you just get to the point and ask y our question immediately :)
[13:08] <rogard> hi hi, can you give me a documentation for linking an Active Directory server with a Postfix server (Ubuntu Server 10.10) ?
[13:08] <Roland_> I got it onto a USB drive, and booted from it, but whenever i select an option on the ubuntu screen that comes up it beeps and does nothing
[13:08] <Roland_> at first i was trying to instal 32bit on my 64bit comp, then i tried again with 64 bit version and same thing
[13:09] <Roland_> Any ideas on why it won't work?
[13:10] <fixx> if i scp something to a remote dir, like scp -r /etc/* blah.... is it common for the remote version and the local one to differ by a few bytes?
[13:10] <ruan> Roland_: what did you use to put it on the USB drive? have you tried unetbootin?
[13:10] <Roland_> i used Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.6
[13:10] <Pici> fixx: no. Can you verify with md5sum that the files are idneed the same?
[13:10] <red2kic> fixx: Use rsync.
[13:10] <blackshirt> rogard: you mean windows ad ?
[13:11] <ruan> Roland_: have you tried the alternative cd?
[13:11] <fixx> Pici: how do i md5sum a whole directory? just md5sum mydir
[13:11] <Roland_> I tried the 32 and 64 bit versions
[13:11] <Roland_> both downloaded from the ubuntu website
[13:11] <ruan> !alternative
[13:11] <fixx> red2kic: rsync -avuz -e ssh?
[13:12] <fixx> lemme test it quick
[13:12] <tzaeru> uh. is there a command to reset values such as contrast?
[13:12] <tzaeru> a game crashing screwed that up
[13:12] <Roland_> it seems this is what i have been using
[13:13] <Roland_> i thought i meant alternative as in i could use utorrent to download it
[13:13] <ruan> Roland_: hmm. have you tried the normal livecd instead of the alternative?
[13:13] <Roland_> and to make it bootable on my flash drive i had to change the name or the program wouldnt recognize it
[13:13] <Roland_> no i haven't. haha.
[13:13] <ruan> Roland_: try that then
[13:13] <red2kic> fixx: rsync -avz (should be fine). '-e ssh' is already configured to be default
[13:13] <Roland_> I should probably do that huh.
[13:14] <lathan_devers> tzaeru, r u sure it's software settings and not your monitor settings?
[13:14] <rogard> I've got to go, see U all
[13:14] <tzaeru> lathan_devers, guessing it's sofware. at reboot it anyway uses the right values.
[13:14] <Roland_> alright, ill have it downloaded and mounted in the next hour or so, ill be back.
[13:16] <frxstrem> I have this problem where when I boot my computer, instead of going directly to the graphical login screen I get a terminal and have to wait for about 3-4 minutes before I get the graphical login. Can anybody please help me fix this?
[13:17] <ikonia> frxstrem: does the graphical window start on it's own after 3 / 4 minutes?
[13:17] <coz_> frxstrem,  mm  is there a "read out"  during this 3 to 4 minute wait?
[13:18] <frxstrem> ikonia: yes, it does
[13:18] <coz_> that;s an odd issue
[13:18] <frxstrem> coz_: what do you mean by "read out"?
[13:18] <coz_> frxstrem,  is anything  printed out  or do you see errors reported during that time?
[13:19] <KramB> I am trying to make this .sh file executable I do "chmod +x file.sh" and when I try to execute it, it says cannot execute.  It is a compiler for java files, any help?
[13:19] <frxstrem> coz_: no
[13:19] <coz_> KramB,   the easy way is to right click the file ...go to properties / permissions  and make it executeable
[13:19] <High_Priest> KramB, try sh file.sh
[13:19] <airwork> hi. i'm trying to delete a partition from my drive but i'm getting weird error messages..http://paste.ubuntu.com/581577/
[13:20] <coz_> frxstrem,  mm this is definitely odd... is this a fresh install of ubuntu?
[13:20] <frxstrem> coz_: no, I've been using it for about half a year now, I think
[13:20] <coz_> frxstrem,  when did this start ocurring?
[13:21] <frxstrem> coz_: I think it was two days ago
[13:21] <High_Priest> KramB, and what is the exact error message?
[13:21] <coz_> frxstrem,  were there system updates at that time?
[13:22] <frxstrem> coz_: there might have been, I don't quite remember
[13:22] <m___> Hi! How can I find all files in a folder that has the regex "*[0-9].ser" ? I have tried to do this but to no avail: find . *[0-9].ser | egrep *[0-9].ser
[13:23] <KramB> coz: It still did not work.  Priest: That did not work either, the message was "not foundipts. sh: 2: not foundipts .sh: 8: compile scripts.sh 23: syntax error: and of file unexpected (expecting "fi")
[13:23] <coz_> frxstrem,  ok ,, one of the first things I suggest for any issue is to first open a terminal  and   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade     see if anything needs updated,, or a new package needs installed
[13:23] <KramB> end of file*
[13:23] <coz_> KramB,  what is this file for?
[13:23] <jigynet> is that guy with the HUAWEI Mobile still around?
[13:23] <ruan> KramB: you need to code the file correctly then
[13:23] <jrib> m___: ls **/*[0-9].ser    in the right directory
[13:23] <KramB> coz: to compile java scripts.
[13:24] <KramB> ruan: I guess I will look over it. :s
[13:24] <jrib> m___: and that's a glob, not a regex
[13:24] <ruan> KramB: it's returning errors because the code is incorrect
[13:24] <ruan> syntax errors
[13:25] <tdn> How do I install the latest 2.6.38 kernel in Kubuntu 10.10? I need to check if a specific bug has been fixed.
[13:25] <m___> jrib: that does not work
[13:25] <High_Priest> tdn, you download it, compile it and boot it
[13:25] <frxstrem> coz_: there were some updates (for tzdata and wine), thought I highly doubt updating them would solve anything...
[13:25] <KramB> I don't see what is wrong. >:l
[13:25] <High_Priest> :)
[13:25] <jrib> m___: in what sense does it not work?  Do you get an error or does it do something other than what you wanted?
[13:25] <coz_> frxstrem,  right
[13:26] <blackshirt> tdn: are you want install it from repos or compile by self
[13:26] <m___> cannot access **/*[0-9].ser: No such file or directory
[13:26] <coz_> frxstrem,  mm and this occurs every time you newly boot into  your system ...yes?
[13:26] <jrib> m___: what ubuntu version is this?
[13:26] <tdn> High_Priest, really? Is there no easier way? I would guess that this is a fairly common task. So I thought there would be some .debs available. Either via PPAs or similar.
[13:26] <frxstrem> coz_: yes
[13:26] <m___> 10.10
[13:26] <coz_> frxstrem,  does this also occur when you restart X?
[13:26] <tdn> blackshirt, preferably via repos.
[13:26] <jrib> m___: what shell are you using?
[13:26] <isbric_> Hey, i just ran a dist-upgrade on a lucid box, after my reboot i get consistent packet loss on localdomain every 10-11 minutes lasting for about 30-60 sec.
[13:26] <m___> well bash
[13:27] <bazhang> isbric_, dist-upgrade?
[13:27] <frxstrem> coz_: I don't know, I haven't tried
[13:27] <tdn> isbric_, that sounds *really* strange. What does dmesg say?
[13:27] <KramB> Does anyone here know java, and could look at this for me?
[13:27] <tdn> isbric_, paste your dmesg output here: http://paste.adora.dk
[13:27] <coz_> frxstrem,  ok try it doing it the correct way     ctrl+alt+F1    log in    sudo  restart gdm
[13:27] <blackshirt> tdn: check it when there that version on repo
[13:27] <blackshirt> tdn: or chek from ppa archives
[13:28] <tdn> blackshirt, I have tried adding the kernel PPAs, but there are still no 2.6.38 kernel availabe from it. Which PPA should I add?
[13:28] <jrib> m___: if you want to use find: find -name '*[0-9].ser'
[13:28] <isbric_> bazhang: apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:28] <tdn> blackshirt, I have not been able to find any useful info on this.
[13:28] <tdn> blackshirt, maybe I could try installing the natty kernel in maverick? Would that work? If so, how to do it?
[13:28] <bazhang> isbric_, that wont change versions if that is what you are attempting
[13:29] <coz_> frxstrem,  you got back here pretty quickly
[13:29] <m___> cheers, jrib!!
[13:29] <frxstrem> coz_: yes, that's because I didn't have to wait when I restarted X
[13:30] <coz_> frxstrem,  mmm  so something is up with the initial boot sequence,,, this may be beyond my knowledge....
[13:30] <Alonea> ok, is there anything I can temporarily do to fix the brightness on my EEE until the fix comes out next month? (on kubuntu) its at "100%" and its still really dim. I have the issue where my brightness scale is all over the place as I increase/decrease it (its not in order and its all pretty dim)
[13:30] <coz_> frxstrem,   which video card is on that system?    lspci | grep -i vta
[13:31] <coz_> nono
[13:31] <coz_> frxstrem,   lspci | grep -i vga
[13:31] <coz_> big fingers :)
[13:31] <frxstrem> coz_: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M]
[13:31] <blackshirt> tdn: you can install natty kernel on maverick, update your sources.list with natty repo, run update and then install kernel from natty repos
[13:31] <coz_> frxstrem,  ok
[13:31] <ruan> Alonea: have you tried the application "monitor settings"?
[13:31] <coz_> frxstrem,  hold on
[13:32] <isbric_> my dmesg: http://paste.adora.dk/P1991.html
[13:32] <Alonea> ruan: so far the brightness settings that came with kubuntu is what is broken. is this a separate application?
[13:32] <airwork> hi. i'm trying to delete a partition from my drive but it's telling me the partition is outside the disk. fdisk -l /dev/sda returns weird numbers
[13:32] <isbric_> bazhang: no
[13:32] <botcity> hi guys i recently put another linux distro on my netbook i thought it would set up a dual boot with ubuntu when grub loads it shows both distros but when i select ubuntu i get error 15 file not found , i dont wanna reinstall ubuntu i know that would fix it but is there another fix?
[13:33] <coz_> frxstrem,  out of curiosity would you try    initctl status gdm
[13:33] <ruan> Alonea: yes, though it is a gnome app
[13:33] <usr13> airwork: sudo fidsk -l /dev/sda | pastebinit
[13:33] <tdn> blackshirt, is that safe?
[13:33] <tdn> blackshirt, will I always be able to go back later?
[13:33] <[TK]D-Fender> tdn: No.
[13:33] <usr13> airwork: Which partition are you trying to delete?
[13:34] <tdn> [TK]D-Fender, thought so. What will you recommend?
[13:34] <[TK]D-Fender> ! 11.04 | tdn
[13:34] <frxstrem> coz_: "gdm start/running, process 3784"
[13:34] <isbric_> any ideas?
[13:34] <coz_> frxstrem,  mmm ok hold on  let me do a bit of research on this issue
[13:34] <airwork> usr13: : trying.. but i'm on the live cd and installing pastebinit is taking forever, let me paste manually
[13:34] <[TK]D-Fender> tdn: Recommend yuo wait until it is released and you have a reasonable chance of not ending up with a crippled system
[13:34] <tdn> [TK]D-Fender, I do not want to upgrade to natty just yet. I just want to try out the kernel under maverick.
[13:34] <airwork> i want to delete partition #2 on my one and only drive
[13:35] <Alonea> ruan: what is even worse is if I manually set the brightness to 100% in the terminal, its still wrong. echo -n 100 /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness
[13:35] <gee> #niteroi
[13:35] <usr13> airwork: How are you trying to delete it?  (What partitioning utility are you using?)
[13:36] <ryuguns1> Hey guys....
[13:36] <blackshirt> hey
[13:36] <ruan> any good download managers? i've tried jdownloader and fatrat but they gave me issues
[13:36] <miketomdool> hi
[13:36] <ryuguns1> Where is a good place to learn bash?
[13:36] <blackshirt> hi
[13:36] <airwork> usr13: i first tried the ubuntu install process, which showed no partitions. running gparted from the live cd yielded the same results. i then tried palimpsest, which is where i got this message http://paste.ubuntu.com/581577/ -- and here is fdisk -l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581580/
[13:36] <usr13> ruan: wget
[13:36] <Pici> ryuguns1: The tips in the topic in #bash are a good place to start
[13:37] <blackshirt> !tell bash
[13:37] <ryuguns1> Thank you guys :D
[13:37] <ryuguns1> Guessing !tell is not a command...
[13:37] <ryuguns1> !info bash
[13:37] <coz_> frxstrem,   mmm  not much found    http://askubuntu.com/questions/26030/10-10-boots-to-command-line-login-prompt  ,, I cannot guarantee any of this will work,,, the safest option is the purgin of gdm and reinstalling it
[13:38] <ruan> any good GUI download managers?
[13:38] <ryuguns1> Ubuntu software center???
[13:38] <ryuguns1> lol
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> !best| ruan
[13:38] <coz_> ruan,   downloading of what from w here  ?
[13:38] <ruan> i asked for "good" not "best"
[13:38] <usr13> airwork: sda2 is an extended partition (which also contains logical partition sda5).
[13:39] <kirkous> if i divide partition with gparted. can i be sure that no data will be damaged? :)
[13:39] <ruan> coz_: music is one of the things i need to download
[13:39] <airwork> usr13: sda5 must be an old swap. i'm willing to delete everything except for sda1
[13:39] <coz_> ruan,  mm  did you try google   ubuntu download managers
[13:40] <ruan> yes.
[13:40] <airwork> usr13: and the disk only has 100GB, so how can sda5 possibly end in 1167674?
[13:40] <ruan> coz_: jdownloader and fatrat gave me issues
[13:40] <isbric_> add to previus note: it seems like i get packet loss the same way on other domains just after localdomain get up.
[13:40] <coz_> ruan,  I see,,, let me check hold on
[13:40] <usr13> airwork: So maybe if you delete sda5 first you can then delete sda2
[13:40] <ruan> jdownloader corrupted 5 of my downloads, and fatrat can't maintain connections correctly. wget isnt gui
[13:41] <elFidel> kirkous: in case you really want to be save - create a clone before you do so
[13:41] <usr13> airwork: It is possible that there is unpartitioned space on the drive.
[13:41] <indrajeet> want face recognition software
[13:41] <coz_> ruan,   d4x  ...  aria ... wget of course...not graphical though,,,
[13:41] <bazhang> ruan, gwget
[13:41] <usr13> airwork: You could use fdisk to delete the partitions.
[13:41] <elFidel> there is no: being sure while working with partition-tools
[13:41] <coz_> ruan,  I have not used the first two at all
[13:42] <stephaaaan> seems like I got logrotate up and running for pure-ftpd - if anyone is interested -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/581584/ :-)
[13:42] <airwork> usr13: i wouldn't even know how to delete sda5 considering i can't spot it in any of the partition programs
[13:42] <usr13> airwork: You could use fdisk to delete the partitions. (fdisk shows it)
[13:42] <indrajeet> want face recognition software
[13:42] <ruan> i need an advanced gui. lots of features
[13:43] <indrajeet> want face recognition software
[13:43] <coz_> ruan,   d4x should give most of that ...yes?
[13:43] <airwork> usr13: would it be too much to ask you what the exact command would be like?
[13:43] <blackshirt> ruan: what you mean with advanced gui ?
[13:43] <ruan> blackshirt: advanced options for each file, etc
[13:43] <usr13> airwork: Commands:  sudo fdisk /dev/sda ; p ; d ; 5 ; d ; 2
[13:43] <airwork> i'm only an intermediate user and messing around with fdisk always sounds dangerous
[13:43] <airwork> specially considering i don't have backup
[13:43] <ruan> blackshirt: such as limiting speed at certain times for certain files
[13:44] <ruan> also, retrying after x seconds
[13:44] <olipanis> anyone got the command "ls" in C or C++?
[13:44] <red2kic> He want something advanced -- but not too advanced like wget. I guess.
[13:44] <Pici> olipanis: Try ##C or ##C++
[13:44] <ruan> wget isn't a gui
[13:44] <airwork> get the table, delete 5, delete 2?
[13:44] <olipanis> thx°
[13:44] <isbric_> Hey, i just ran a dist-upgrade on a lucid box, after my reboot i get consistent packet loss on localdomain every 10-11 minutes lasting for about 30-60 sec.
[13:44] <coz_> ruan,  check out some of the screnshots of d4x
[13:44] <bazhang> !info gwget | ruan
[13:44] <usr13> airwork: m for help
[13:45] <ruan> i'll try gwget
[13:45] <kirkous> elFidel: and can i make only image of that partition? or do i have to use real disc
[13:45] <ruan> though i dont know if it has the features i need
[13:45] <elFidel> ruan: http://alternativeto.net/software/jdownloader/?profile=linux&platform=linux
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> ruan: check http://www.linuxlinks.com/Software/Networking/Download_Managers/

[13:46] <ruben_hood> hi. is there any problem now with the repos?
[13:46] <Chr|s> How can I make a launcher to execute a bash sh file?
[13:46] <frxstrem> coz_: purging and reinstalling gdm did not fix the problem ...
[13:46] <indrajeet> elFidel:want face recognition software
[13:46] <usr13> airwork: print the partition table (so that you can see what is there on the screen).  delete partition 5  delete partition 2 and then w (write new partition table)  (I left out the last command w )
[13:46] <coz_> frxstrem,  damn
[13:46] <elFidel> indrajeet: are you somehow handicaped or first time irc-user?
[13:47] <elFidel> repeating is evil
[13:47] <ruan> lol. i dont think he understands the concept of sarcasm
[13:47] <elFidel> it might help if you try to ask a more detailed question - showing you did some research yourself
[13:47] <coz_> frxstrem,  ok  if no one here has a solution , at this time... jump over to the ##linux channel and see if someone t here may have a suggestion
[13:47] <Pici> elFidel: sarcasm doesn't work well over IRC, especially with those whose native language is not english.
[13:47] <indrajeet> elFidel:First time irc-user
[13:47] <usr13> airwork: Commands:  sudo fdisk /dev/sda ; p ; d ; 5 ; d ; 2 ; w ; q (quit)
[13:47] <frxstrem> coz_: okay, thanks anyways :)
[13:47] <elFidel> indrajeet: a general help regarding getting help in irc: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> indrajeet: your question should be more detailed or specific
[13:48] <thiebaude> !ask
[13:48] <usr13> airwork: Commands:  sudo fdisk /dev/sda ; p ; d ; 5 ; d ; 2 ; w ; p ; q (quit)
[13:48] <coz_> frxstrem,  apologies,,, either I cant think clearly about this and come up with a solutions or I just dont have the information
[13:48] <usr13> airwork: or, after your done do;  sudo fdisk -l
[13:49] <botcity> indrajeet: check synaptic package manager there may be something in there!

[13:50] <MonkeyDust> indrajeet: http://compixels.com/2071/add-facial-recognition-password-to-ubuntu-linux-distro
[13:50] <ruan> gwget doesn't have the features i need :/
[13:51] <Alonea> sogeking99: swap space not big enough? sometimes its buggy or sets my brightness to 0 so I up the brightness and its there
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> ruan: did you check linuxlinks? http://www.linuxlinks.com/Software/Networking/Download_Managers/
[13:51] <sogeking99> i chose half my ram
[13:51] <sogeking99> for swap
[13:51] <indrajeet> MonkeyDust:thank u i was looking for that only
[13:52] <erUSUL> sogeking99: for suspend to disk ( hibernate ) you need at least as much swap as ram
[13:52] <kirkous> where are chromium launcher saved? i need to delete one because it's messing up my docky :)
[13:52] <sogeking99> oh i thought it was half the ram
[13:52] <ruan> MonkeyDust: most of those are outdated :/
[13:54] <kirkous> i mean shortcuts to the websites which can be created with chromium
[13:55] <Alonea> sogeking99: its as much to 1.5 of your ram generally

[13:55] <botcity> hi guys i recently put another linux distro on my netbook i thought it would set up a dual boot with ubuntu when grub loads it shows both distros but when i select ubuntu i get error 15 file not found , i dont wanna reinstall ubuntu i know that would fix it but is there another fix?
[13:56] <cached> if i'm going to be installing ubuntu within the next week (new hard drive) would you recommend going for the alpha release of 11.04?
[13:56] <ruan> i hope download managers work well in wine
[13:57] <bazhang> cached, no, wait for after release for natty
[13:57] <MagicJ> I have used PLACES/NETWORK and cnnected to another machine and I love the way I can use the GUI to do things as though they are on my local machine.  How do I access the files on the remote machine by name though, for example from the command line if I want to vi/exit one of them?
[13:57] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[13:57] <karthik> \server 192.168.100.223
[13:57] <giova_> hi there
[13:58] <cached> bazhang: so what do you recommend I do: install whatever the current version is and upgrade, install current version and just wipe it clean when 11.04 comes out, not use my hard drive for a few weeks, or ???
[13:58] <giova_> I've found a bug with ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and fake raid 0
[13:59] <bazhang> cached, go for 10.10 then upgrade versions when 11.04 is released, if you wish. no need to install fresh. you may consider a separate /home partition though
[13:59] <cached> bazhang: there is no chance for strange behavior from upgrading?
[14:00] <kirkous> do you guys prefer to reinstal ubuntu when new version comes out or dist-upgrade? :) is it the same?
[14:00] <giova_> who am I supposed to report this bug?
[14:00] <bazhang> cached, of course there are no guarantees, but using an alpha is guaranteed to have problems
[14:00] <ruan> !bug | giova_
[14:00] <thiebaude> kirkous, i prefer a clean install
[14:00] <thiebaude> :)
[14:00] <JayGee> Hello. can I hide the Kmail or sending to the taskbar? just because if I close it, it does not notify me
[14:02] <kirkous> thiebaude, and why? what are the differences? config files?
[14:03] <gfs> hi,all.goodnight
[14:03] <lesshaste> there is an odd bug with the screen lock (in gnome at least) where you get to see the screen when it is locked and it doesn't black out until you wiggle the mouse or similar
[14:03] <lesshaste> is this known?
[14:03] <thiebaude> kirkous, i just prefer a clean install, to start new .
[14:03] <Gufik> Come to http://unforgivenwow.com/ we have all custumised votes&donation point pvp server over 300players
[14:03] <thiebaude> i have done a few upgrades since i have been using ubuntu since 6.06
[14:03] <bazhang> Gufik, wrong channel to paste that
[14:04] <Gufik> ok sory
[14:04] <Gufik> :D
[14:04] <usr13> thiebaude: I prefer upgrades. My ubuntu system has been in use for years, upgraded many times.
[14:04] <kirkous> i just would like to know what is recomended.. :) and why
[14:05] <Gufik> guys go on #unforgivenwow channel and stay there if you like you can visit ower web delovepment
[14:05] <Gufik> :)
[14:05] <thiebaude> usr13, but i have to say i did a upgrade yesterday to 11..04 and it did not work out for me, cos 11.04 used too much ram
[14:05] <isbric_> could anyone please give me a hint on what to try out? i have tryed disabling avahi and played with the mtu settings but that doesnt change a bit.
[14:05] <thiebaude> it was iding at like 570mb instead of around 180mb like ubuntu usally does
[14:05] <thiebaude> idleling
[14:06] <ruan> thiebaude: which process used the ram?
[14:06] <giova_> is there anyone using a fake raid 0 with ubuntu?
[14:06]  * _UsUrPeR_ tips his hat
[14:06] <thiebaude> ruan, there was a bunch of new processes that 11.04 uses, but i cant name them now :)
[14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> I am trying to figure out how to enable vino-server on all my users's accounts at the same time.
[14:07] <thiebaude> in system manager
[14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> Instead of going in to each user and enabling it
[14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> is there a config file I can copy in to each user's directory?
[14:07] <ruan> will 11.04 be a LTS release?
[14:08] <bazhang> ruan, no
[14:08] <thiebaude> ruan, now im bak at a clean 10.04 install
[14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> ruan: I don't believe 11.04 will be an LTS
[14:08] <thiebaude> back
[14:08] <ruan> ok
[14:08] <Gufik> hey all :)
[14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> the next LTS will be something like 14.04
[14:08] <[TK]D-Fender> wow..
[14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> correct me if I am wrong there :)
[14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> err no, 13.04 :)
[14:08] <bazhang> 12.04
[14:08] <thiebaude> ruan a new lts willl be realeased april 2012
[14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> lol yeah that one :D
[14:08] <thiebaude> will
[14:09] <ruan> ok
[14:09] <elFidel> guys: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[14:09] <thiebaude> april 26 :)
[14:09] <Gufik> guys any1 plays wow?
[14:09] <_UsUrPeR_> LTS is released on a 2-year basis with 3 years of support
[14:09] <bazhang> !ot | Gufik
[14:10] <thiebaude> I love the 3yr support thats why im sticking to LTS realeases :)
[14:10] <sss314> How do I create an empty archive using nautilus?
[14:10] <_UsUrPeR_> again: is there a way to enable vino-server on all my system users in one fell swoop? I don't want to enable remote desktop on each user's account separately. I would prefer to do it from command line.
[14:10] <thiebaude> its one of the reasons,lol
[14:10] <ruan> sss314: archive manager
[14:11] <sss314> ruan, thanks
[14:22] <co_cari_ceww> who can help me pleaseeeeeeeeee
[14:22] <ruan> !ask co_cari_ceww
[14:22] <v_v> co_cari_ceww: what's up
[14:23] <co_cari_ceww> my modem detected as storage memory on lucid
[14:23] <yuskhanzab> what modem u use?
[14:23] <co_cari_ceww> prolink P2000
[14:24] <co_cari_ceww> my modem is only detected when I go in and open the application the modem drivers on windows os and go back to ubuntu
[14:24] <yuskhanzab> ohhh
[14:24] <yuskhanzab> did u do modeswitch
[14:25] <co_cari_ceww> yes i know usb modeswitch, and the result error
[14:26] <yuskhanzab> i also got that problem before
[14:26] <rizzuh> I'm experiencing UI freezes on Ubuntu 10.10 (all update as of 1 hour ago, including proprosed and backports); no single UI element (except for web pages, but buttons, pop-ups, etc.) respond, at all. How can I fix it?
[14:26] <Caramels> cc
[14:26] <elFidel> rizzuh: i would start by checking the logs
[14:26] <ruan> rizzuh: have you restarted since the update?
[14:26] <jrib> rizzuh: proposed is not meant to be used by regular desktop users
[14:26] <rizzuh> Not yet
[14:26] <co_cari_ceww> also with modem?
[14:27] <ruan> restarting may fix it
[14:27] <rizzuh> The latest updates were non gui related though. I have for the big stuff, which I did after installing.
[14:27] <rizzuh> True, but that would be last resort.
[14:27] <rizzuh> jrib, agreed, I'm no regular user though. That, and I've seen this problem since December.
[14:28] <rizzuh> Though I haven't used Ubuntu since then, till today.
[14:28] <co_cari_ceww> how to resolve my problem????
[14:28] <jrib> rizzuh: your using repositories used for testing and that are more likely to contain broken software
[14:28] <co_cari_ceww> come on
[14:28] <yuskhanzab> usually it detect as a memory because there were a memory slot
[14:28] <jrib> you're even
[14:29] <jrib> rizzuh: anyway first step is reproduce issue on a system without -proposed
[14:29] <co_cari_ceww> you know my modem?
[14:29] <co_cari_ceww> there were memory slot, where it is?
[14:29] <rizzuh> jrib, easier said than done.
[14:30] <elFidel> rizzuh: why? reboot and see if problem still exists
[14:30] <elFidel> thats a pretty easy first step isnt it?
[14:30] <rizzuh> elFidel, I meant reproducing it on a system without proposed.
[14:30] <singh> I have created a cron job with command : */1 *   *   *   *     /home/starlite/Downloads/data-integration$ sh spoon.sh

[14:30] <co_cari_ceww> come oon
[14:31] <singh> but it's not running. please help me
[14:31] <jrib> singh: it's not related to your issue but */1 is the same as *
[14:31] <singh> jrib: what shall I do ?
[14:31] <rizzuh> Rebooting is a bit tricky when I can't use the UI at all...
[14:31] <elFidel> singh: take some time and re-read some example cron-entries
[14:31] <jrib> singh: now, as for your actual issue, the command you have written makes no sense.  It seems like you just copied what your terminal shows including the prompt
[14:32] <ruan> rizzuh: hmm. alt f2 and start gnome-terminal
[14:32] <ruan> rizzuh: does that work?
[14:32] <rizzuh> ruan, keyboard shortcuts don't either
[14:32] <ruan> rizzuh: hummmm
[14:32] <rizzuh> good ol' power button for 5 secs
[14:32] <rizzuh> but that's... not that great
[14:32] <ruan> yea
[14:33] <ruan> hmm
[14:33] <ruan> does ctrl alt f1/f2 work for going into console and restarting?
[14:33] <rizzuh> Is there any way to... like revert updates from proposed?
[14:33] <singh> jrib: thanks for suggestion. But how shall a make a cron job to run ?

[14:53] <cba123> bugra, First, ask your question.  Second, wait for a response.  Everyone here helps free, so be patient.

[14:54] <Roland_> Hi, im back with another problem, when i click run from usb device (on the boot menu frommy usb device) it says missing live files or something after an ubuntu loading screen.
[14:54] <researcher1> is there a channel to discuss scientific software in linux?
[14:54] <usr13> cba123: Well, not everyone helps, some just hide and watch   ;/
[14:54] <blz> Are there any native disk image solutions for ubuntu that are comparable to Acronis True Image?  Specifically, I need to be able to make incremental image-based backups on a schedule.  Ideally compressed.
[14:56] <Roland_> Any helpers?
[14:56] <usr13> blz: so you want to periodically make images of your whole hard drive?
[14:56] <cba123> usr13, Might've said it with some ambiguity, it was meant as "Everyone here who helps, helps for free"
[14:56] <blz> usr13:  exactly, but incrementally
[14:56] <bugra> my sound card is not working on toshiba satellite pro a200, device is alc268
[14:56] <usr13> cba123: Sorry, was an attempt at humor.
[14:56] <dr0id> what is Inode Number ?
[14:57] <blz> usr13:  i.e.:  I want image n+1 to include only the changes since image n
[14:57] <blz> if that makes sense
[14:57] <isbric_> tdn: did you se my dmesg?
[14:57] <cba123> usr13, As was mine...
[14:57] <Roland_> Hi, im back with another problem, when i click run from usb device (on the boot menu frommy usb device) it says missing live files or something after an ubuntu loading screen.
[14:57] <paco57> ciao
[14:57] <usr13> blz: That's gonna take a lot of space.  Where do you  intend to store these images?
[14:57] <cba123> Roland_, patience is a virtue.  Ask once, and wait longer before re-asking.  I'd say 15minutes or so.
[14:58] <Roland_> oh, alright.
[14:58] <blz> usr13:  that's why compression would be ideal, along with the incremental versioning.  I have a solution for the storage
[14:58] <Roland_> sorry.
[14:58] <blz> usr13:  that solution being a big eSATA drive
[14:59] <usr13> blz I don't think the drive type matters much
[14:59] <blz> usr13:  well the speed sure as hell will ;-)
[14:59] <singh> maedox: I am getting error which can be seen in http://dpaste.de/NamM/
[15:00] <usr13> blz: Well, I've done a partition at a time like this:  dd if=/dev/hda | ssh $user@host 'gzip - > /home/user/image.gz'
[15:00] <isbric_> wat shuld i be looking for if i get consistent packet losses every 10 min lasting 30-60 sec intervals?
[15:00] <usr13> blz: Or:  dd if=/dev/hda1 | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /pub/image.gz'
[15:01] <usr13> blz: You could just as easily do the whole drive, but, well, just never saw the need in it.
[15:01] <blz> usr13:  i considered that, but there's two problems.  1)  no incremental backup (afaik), and 2) it stores *everything* including unused space... Which is kind of a waste of time/space
[15:02] <blz> usr13:  mondo looked promising, but it seems as though they expect you to save it in n number of .iso's and burn them for recovery.
[15:03] <sp4rc> guys, how can i change the keyboard layout on the console?
[15:03] <usr13> blz: Well, I guess that is as far as I got with backing up stuff.  I just back up my /home partition and am not all that concerned about applications and the rest.
[15:03] <bugra> is there anyone can help me?
[15:03] <blz> !ask|bugra
[15:03] <llutz_> blz: why backup as image? filewise is much easier
[15:04] <maedox> singh: what's in your scripts? It's trying to connect to a display but nothing is set. You might have to add export DISPLAY=:0 to the script.
[15:04] <bugra> !poll
[15:04] <blz> llutz_:  I've already done that, but reinstalling a system from scratch is a huge pain.  plus it's two different backup strategies.  filewize backups won't store all settings
[15:05] <bugra> !gg
[15:05] <llutz_> blz: depending on your config, it stores all settings.
[15:06] <blz> llutz_:  yes, i realize that, but it's a huge paint to back up every single config file.  Images allow you to recover from catastrophic failures very quickly
[15:06] <bugra> I ve sound problem on my laptop
[15:06] <Kentaree> hi guys, I'm having an issue with my logitech g35 usb headset in ubuntu. It plays sound once, for a while, and then stops, and starts spitting out usb_set_interface failed messages in log files
[15:06] <blz> two different strategies, each with its merits
[15:06] <llutz_> blz: backing up /etc/, /home, parts of /var + a list of actually installed packages and the reinstallation is easily done
[15:06] <singh> maedox; Thanks
[15:06] <llutz_> blz: ever looked at rsnapshot or rdiff-backup?
[15:06] <blz> llutz_:  right, but then you have no partition information and repartitioning a new disk or wiped disk is a pain
[15:07] <blz> llutz_:  i haven't.  is that file-based backup or image-based?
[15:07] <llutz_> blz: we have different definitions of pain :)  sfdisk might help to backup partition-info
[15:07] <bugra> can you talk in private with me for sound problem, who can do?
[15:07] <llutz_> blz: file based (rsync) i never did images because they seem pointless and space-wasting for me
[15:08] <blz> llutz_:  I appreciate the suggestions, but i've already implemented a file backup system
[15:08] <usr13> blz: One other thing I've done is to install two identical HDs in a PC and periocically ghost one to the other, (master to slave).  I've done that on servers
[15:08] <BluesKaj> llutz_, blz , what about aptoncd ?
[15:08] <blz> with unison, which is close enough to rsync =)
[15:08] <surreal7z> software for organizing your things + journal ?
[15:08] <blz> usr13:  that might be worhtwhile.  I imagine, using dd?
[15:08] <llutz_> BluesKaj: no idea, i never used it (actually i don't really know what it does exactly)
[15:08] <coz_> bugra,  the problem with PM's is that  you have the advantage of "backups"  rather caught errors
[15:09] <blz> BluesKaj:  not sure what it is
[15:09] <BluesKaj> !aptoncd
[15:09] <coz_> bugra,  rather you dont have the advantage
[15:09] <usr13> blz: Yes
[15:09] <coz_> bugra,  pm's  dont allow other to add to solutions
[15:09] <blz> BluesKaj:  definitely interesting.  does it store configurations or only the .deb package?
[15:09] <usr13> blz: Set it up as a cron job
[15:09] <surreal7z> software for organizing your daily stuff + journal ? or some sort of it, thx!
[15:09] <llutz_> BluesKaj: might make sense for people with very slow internet, not usefull for backups imho
[15:10] <BluesKaj> blz, nor sure
[15:10] <BluesKaj> not
[15:10] <llutz_> blz BluesKaj sounds like just keeping the packages
[15:10] <root__> hiya
[15:10] <blz> alright.  i'll have to take all of this into consideration.  too bad for mondo... it's *almost* perfect
[15:10] <bugra> coz_: I ve sound card problem
[15:11] <blz> bugra:  we can't help you if you don't give us specific information
[15:11] <Carl_> buonasera
[15:11] <coz_> bugra,  is it recognized?  open a terminal   type   alsamixer  and see if the card is listed at the top
[15:11] <BluesKaj> yeah llutz_ somehow an app that saves the configs as well as the apps is too much to ask :(
[15:11] <bugra> alc268 code sound device exists
[15:12] <coz_> bugra,  ok while in alsamixer  check to see if any volume sliders are down or muted
[15:12] <llutz_> BluesKaj: saving packages makes no sense in most cases, the rest easily can be done using rsync (or some scripts around it)
[15:13] <Mhaddog> need some help. Got a server with 10.04lts on it, and it has been quite difficult to be able to ssh into it.... I'm able to ssh into it form the local network, but when I do port forwarding, from the outside has been difficult to get into it, have another server, same configs, and works fine..
[15:13] <bugra> master, headphon, PCM, front are high
[15:13] <Mhaddog> only difference is that the problematic server, has two eth active... can this be the cause?
[15:13] <Mhaddog> I installed openssh
[15:13] <coz_> bugra,  mm  ok  you might want to check in both the #alsa channel  and the #pulseaudio  channel
[15:13] <BluesKaj> llutz_, it's surprising what ppl want to save , whether it makes sense or not :)
[15:14] <llutz_> BluesKaj: problem are devs thinking its a good idea to save some stuff inside /usr/....
[15:14] <bugra> ok thanks
[15:14] <root__> Mens.. you know how to do for increase or decrease sound on Backtrack 4 R1? I only find the option to disconnect the card sound,,, It's a Live USB, not yet installed on HDD
[15:14] <Kurlon> Afternoon all.  Got a bit of an odd rsync issue.  I have a box I try to keep synced with a remote unit via a while loop in a screen'd shell.  Hackish, but it gets the job done.  If I try to rsync a second directory via the shell, works beautifully.  If I try the same rsync command in the while loop, it bombs out partway through the run.  I'm stumped on this one.
[15:15] <Roland_> I still need help.
[15:15] <llutz_> BluesKaj: as i said, it might be usefull if you have very limited internet access. for _me_ it wouldn't make sense to store packages i could re-download within 10 minutes (32mbit-internet)
[15:15] <aeon-ltd> root__: ask in #backtrack
[15:15] <root__> okey, sorry, I'm new in this xD
[15:16] <GaryD> what is the command to fix mime types?

[15:19] <Diverdude> How do i get the back-button to work in chrome?
[15:19] <sp4rc> anyone running ubuntu 10.10 in conjunction with vmare-tools?
[15:20] <ruan> sp4rc: i have done that in the past and had it working
[15:20] <BluesKaj> llutz_, agreed , I've never bothered with that either , but there's no reasoning or understanding why some ppl attach importance , for whatever reasons and insist on something that seems trivial to us.
[15:20] <intok> anyone else currently unable to view youtube from Movie Player/Totem? I know it worked before an I can play .flv files, but otem now just tosses up a non helpful gstreamer error
[15:20] <cba123> Diverdude, I would report a bug to google, since there is no "how do I get the back button to work?"  It should just work like normal, click it.  If it doesn't, it's a bug you should report to google.
[15:20] <sp4rc> ruan: where are the C header files located?
[15:21] <xro> hi, when i'm logged with my username on a server, i have a prompt with '$' instead of 'username$'... and i cannot use tab... do you know why? with root, that works
[15:21] <Roland_> Hi, im back with another problem, when i click run from usb device (on the boot menu frommy usb device) it says missing live files or something after an ubuntu loading screen.
[15:22] <llutz_> xro: ls -la ~/.profile ~/.bashrc
[15:22] <ruan> sp4rc: im not sure
[15:23] <xro> llutz_: i get /home/myusername/.bashrc and /home/myusername/.profile
[15:23] <llutz_> xro: both exist and size != 0? echo $SHELL
[15:25] <xro> llutz_, they are 3.1ko and 675... echo $SHELL --> /bin/sh
[15:25] <llutz_> xro: "/bin/bash"
[15:25] <GaryD> how can I set the applications used by xdg-open?
[15:26] <xro> llutz_, why? i should be done automatically, no?
[15:26] <llutz_> xro: getent passwd |grep $USER           whats the login shel there? (last entry)
[15:26] <mouse> I installed easypeasy 1.6(derived from ubuntu) and changed the background image.  It immediately crashed and continues to crash at every startup.  Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[15:26] <xro> llutz_, there is my user... (it works with /bin/bash)
[15:27] <jrib> mouse: we only support ubuntu here
[15:27] <llutz_> xro: getent passwd |grep $USER           whats the login shel there? (last entry)
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> mouse: easy peasy is ubuntu-eee, do you have eee-pc?
[15:27] <jrib> llutz_: note getent passwd $USER  should work too
[15:27] <xro> llutz_: it is my login
[15:27] <llutz_> xro: What shell does it show??
[15:28] <llutz_> jrib: thx
[15:28] <mouse> MonkeyDust, No I don't.  It's a very old pc.
[15:28] <xro> llutz_: myusername:x:uid:gid:surname name:/home/myusername:
[15:28] <GaryD> I am trying to get chromium to open file links, torrent links, and irc links in the correct app. however, they all open in chromium. how can i fix this?
[15:29] <MonkeyDust> mouse: easy peasy is meant to be used on an eee-pc
[15:29] <llutz_> xro: ups no shell at all. usermod -s /bin/bash $USER
[15:29] <MonkeyDust> mouse: use ubuntu netbook remix instead
[15:30] <xro> llutz_: usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd
[15:30] <llutz_> xro: sudo
[15:31] <mouse> MonkeyDust, I figured the two were similar enough and I like the look and feel of easypeasy more so I figured I would go with that.  Is there really that much of a difference?
[15:31] <llutz_> xro: sudo usermod -s /bin/bash <yourusername>
[15:32] <xro> llutz_, user not exist in /etc/passwd... but this is normal... the users are in a ldap server
[15:33] <llutz_> xro: i never used ldap, is info like login-shell also saved there? then your have to change it there
[15:33] <mzuverink> what is the package for the default cursor, i have a blue one that turns to a hand when grabbing a window, I would like the default back and cursor selection from the pref window does not make a change.  or any other ideas on how to change it back gratfully welcomed
[15:34] <xro> llutz_, ok... thank you for your help... I now understand that the problem is in the ldap user config...
[15:34] <llutz_> xro: finally you have to set your login-shell correctly, whereever ;)
[15:35] <xro> llutz_: exactly... :) thanks again
[15:36] <Roland_> Hi, im back with another problem, when i click run from usb device (on the boot menu frommy usb device) it says missing live files or something after an ubuntu loading screen.
[15:36] <blz> usr13, BluesKaj, llutz_:  for what it's worth, I think I found what I'm looking for:  http://www.fsarchiver.org/Main_Page
[15:37] <blz> not sure if it has incremental versioning, but this seems to be a loose analog to TrueImage under windows
[15:37] <blz> in case anybody is interested ;-)
[15:41] <raido> cba123: That seems like a plan. but before you attempt it you would want a good backup. The inconvienient part of having such large arrays (I have one at work) is howto back them up.
[15:42] <blz> I'm unclear about a few details of btrfs.  If I understand correctly, snapshots are natively supported and can be backed up on external media?  Can they be restored onto new media from a live cd in the even of a hardware disk failure?
[15:42] <iceroot> blz: if the hardware is broken, no
[15:42] <[_snow_]> hi all. I have a problem. Do not run the applet Custom menu bar. Anyone encountered this problem? Are you could help me&
[15:43] <[_snow_]> ?
[15:43] <blz> iceroot:  i'm not sure I understand your point.  My hypothetical scenario is the following:  i have a laptop with a btrfs filesystem.  Snapshots are saved on an external disk.  One day my laptop drive fails and I replace it with a new one.  Can the filesystem be restored to the new disk?
[15:43] <sidartha> is there anyone around familiar with mounting samba shares in windows? They keep getting disconnected.
[15:43] <jdeslaur> sidartha: does it say why?
[15:44] <blz> sidartha:  do you have any error messages?
[15:44] <ruan> sidartha: any logs?
[15:44] <iceroot> blz: ah ok, it should be workinig but making a test before is a good idea
[15:44] <iceroot> blz: to be 100% sure
[15:44] <mehdi> how can i deactive/active my wireless card?
[15:44] <sidartha> no message. I windows 7 it just drops. When I open up my Computer ther is a red x next to the share.
[15:45] <dr0id> cat /etc/group us the way to list all the groups and its users ?
[15:45] <blz> iceroot:  ok, and this should be possible with any recent ubuntu live cd, right?
[15:45] <ruan> dr0id: try it and see
[15:45] <dr0id> i did, huge list. but i dunno
[15:45] <sidartha> I think it may be a problem with concurrent users. Does Samba have a limit.
[15:45] <dr0id> postdrop:x:125: <-- what is 125 ?
[15:45] <llutz_> dr0id: getent group
[15:46] <llutz_> dr0id: gid
[15:46] <ruan> dr0id: it seems to be. adm:x:4:ruan
[15:46] <dr0id> kinda same output
[15:46] <dr0id> after 127 it is 1001 and 1002 , wierd
[15:46] <dr0id> weird
[15:46] <llutz_> dr0id: those are the "gid"
[15:46] <dr0id> auto generated by ubuntu ?
[15:46] <raido> blz: Snapshots are increments usually, not a duplicate of an entire FS
[15:46] <iceroot> blz: any which support the filesystem by the kernel
[15:47] <iceroot> blz: so the old ones are not working
[15:47] <blz> raido:  ah, so it's not really a solution for backups on external media...
[15:47] <llutz_> dr0id: if you don't secify them, yes
[15:47] <dr0id> ok, thanks a lot
[15:47] <dr0id> :)
[15:47] <blz> raido:  it's more like local fs versioning ?
[15:48] <llutz_> dr0id: /etc/adduser.conf   for info about the current settings
[15:48] <jamesgecko> How do I tell what options the maintainers of a package compiled an application with?
[15:48] <dr0id> hmm
[15:48] <raido> blz: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#What_is_a_snapshot.3F
[15:49] <chpsheng> 用WINE可以启动WAR3.exe，怎么不能启动战网w3l.exe呢？谁有办法呢
[15:49] <blz> raido:  thx!
[15:49] <raido> blz: If you want a disaster recover solution, you would image the system after build and then store all snapshots. The in a recovery you would restore the image forst and then all the snapshots.
[15:50] <Pici> !zh | chpsheng
[15:51] <blz> raido:  ok that makes more sense now.  I guess there's no real reason to migrate away from ext4.  Not with other imaging solutions available
[15:51] <krger> Ubuntu doesn't have a One China Policy, it seems.
[15:51] <PeaceMaker> I am looking into the possibility to build a personal dropbox server. Anyone can give me a heads up?
[15:52] <sidartha> any one intrested at look at a samba log of one of the pc that disconnected from samba? http://pastebin.com/9nRdzpfW
[15:52] <jamesgecko> PeaceMaker, http://sparkleshare.org/ maybe?
[15:52] <raido> blz: Its a matter of what you want. It sounds like a fun thing to experiment with but there are other perfectly good solutions. Also btrfs is not considered stable from what Ive read
[15:52] <dr0id> getent group shows www-data as one of the groups but no users ? :O
[15:53] <PeaceMaker> thanks jamesgecko
[15:53] <BluesKaj> even china doesn't have it , krger , they have to deal with contonese and mandarin ...we think we have bilingual probs :)
[15:53] <blz> raido:  hmm. that settles it then.  I'll just stick with fsarchiver
[15:53] <BluesKaj> er cantonese
[15:53] <raido> PeaceMaker: look at Tonido too
[15:53] <dr0id> llutz_: getent group shows www-data as one of the groups but no users ? :O
[15:54] <raido> PeaceMaker: http://www.tonido.com/
[15:54] <llutz_> dr0id: its the group, e.g. apache runs as. groups don't need to have members
[15:54] <dr0id> weird
[15:55] <GaryD> argh
[15:55] <PeaceMaker> jamesgecko, it seems  SparkleShare doesn't have client for Windows yet.
[15:55] <dr0id> llutz_: umm, but whoami gives www-data
[15:55] <jamesgecko> PeaceMaker, In the same vein as Tonido, Opera Unite is kinda nifty. Though not much like Dropbox; more useful for just sharing files with other people quickly.
[15:55] <DOokami> hello everyone :) ,, any ideas about syncing Blackberry torch with ubuntu ?
[15:56] <PeaceMaker> Thanks, raido and jamesgecko, I will check them out.
[15:56] <IdleOne> !info barry
[15:56] <llutz_> dr0id: whoami         gives a username (yours)
[15:56] <dr0id> llutz_: yeh, when i do it via php , then i get www-data which is of apache's
[15:56] <IdleOne> !info barrybackup-gui
[15:56] <jamesgecko> PeaceMaker, SparkleShare is just a shim over Git. You can probably sync with windows manually, but it definately won't be as nice as the SparkleShare UI right now.
[15:56] <dr0id> i thought it was a user, but hmm, its a group o.O
[15:56]  * dr0id is a bit confused :S
[15:56] <llutz_> dr0id: theres a user and a group www-data
[15:57] <dr0id> llutz_: but i dont see any users beside www-data in getent group output ?
[15:58] <jwm_> hello.  I am having a problem with the headphone jack on my IMAC running Ubuntu 10.04.  Can anyone help?
[15:58] <ruan> !sound | jwm_
[15:58] <llutz_> dr0id: getent passwd    to list users
[15:58] <jwm_> ruan: are you recommending a channel dedicated to sound?
[15:58] <dr0id> llutz_: yeh. and again long weird output. may i PM you ?
[15:59] <ruan> no, it's not a channel. its a factoid
[15:59] <llutz_> dr0id: nope
[15:59] <dr0id> llutz_: www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

[15:59] <ruan> jwm_: yes, it's the right place
[15:59] <jwm_> ruan: thank you
[16:00] <llutz_> dr0id: home-dir:login-shell
[16:00] <ruan> jwm_: here, that is

[16:00] <jwm_> is anyone else running on an IMAC ?
[16:01] <llutz_> dr0id: man 5 passwd
[16:01] <dr0id> thanks
[16:01] <sp4rc> is there some central configuration gui which can be run from the console?
[16:01] <[TK]D-Fender> dropdrive: that specifies the home folder and default shell for that user respectively
[16:01] <sp4rc> something like yast, etc...
[16:02] <llutz_> dr0id: pls use your google-fu to find tutorials, i don't have some off hand
[16:02] <dr0id> yep, i didnt know what to search for exactly :d

[16:08] <nesh_> ruan_: yes i tried to boot ... when i try "No Init Found" Pops Up!!

[16:09] <nesh_> ruan_:yes but it is giving me a BusyBox Shell ... im not that experienced ... but i tried thing i found in the internet like fsck
[16:10] <nesh_> ruan_:but despite fsck no luck!
[16:10] <MagicJ> I like the PLACES/NETWORK method by which I can connect via ssh to a remote machine.  It works beautifully with the GUI.  How do I access files on that connection NOT through the GUI, for example if at the shell I wanted to use vi on one of them?
[16:12] <BajK> how can i write a bash script that repeats itself over and over again ever 30 seconds? using sleep 30 && ./scriptname.sh is not a good idea
[16:12] <ruan> BajK: use a loop
[16:12] <erUSUL> MagicJ: in ~/.gvfs/
[16:12] <BajK> ruan: that is the idea. and what kinds of loops are there in bash?
[16:13] <ruan> BajK: until [ $counter -lt 1 ] do
[16:13] <RubenAlonzo> BajK: what is bash please? i'm new to the world of linux
[16:13] <ruan> BajK: sleep 30
[16:13] <BajK> RubenAlonzo: console
[16:13] <ruan> BajK: and the rest of your commands
[16:13] <nesh_> ruan ??
[16:13] <RubenAlonzo> ok thank you
[16:13] <ruan> BajK: at the top, counter=2
[16:14] <ruan> nesh_: im not sure what to do :/
[16:14] <BajK> and while [ 1 -eq 1 ]; do for an infinite loop? :D
[16:14] <MagicJ> erUSUL: thank you so much - GREAT!

[16:15] <ruan> Chr|s: is this persistent in different browsers?
[16:15] <jdeslaur> mhaddog: need a little more info...

[16:16] <Chr|s> was working on Windows 2 days ago
[16:16] <RubenAlonzo> Chrjs try safari browser?
[16:16] <sp4rc> is there some central configuration gui which can be run from the console? like yast on suse?
[16:16] <RubenAlonzo> or opera even
[16:16] <Mhaddog> jdeslaur: ok i have a couple servers, one directed from 22 to 22, another from external 2226 to internal 22 and this one form external 2226 to internal 22
[16:16] <ruan> Chr|s: chromium?
[16:17] <ruan> RubenAlonzo: safari isn't in repos
[16:17] <Mhaddog> I can ssh into this one internally (I'm currently connected to it) but not extrenaly,
[16:17] <Chr|s> Firefox should work fine.
[16:17] <RubenAlonzo> that may work for you i had no probs in safari or opera though
[16:17] <Mhaddog> only difference is that this server has to eth activated....
[16:17] <ruan> besides, safari isnt a linux thing
[16:17] <RubenAlonzo> but yes, chromium

[16:21] <researcher1> if I dont get a .deb is it safe to download tar.gz to install new application on Ubuntu?
[16:21] <ruan> researcher1: yes
[16:21] <ruan> researcher1: it is generally better to install it from repos though
[16:21] <researcher1> ruan: then how do I install from tar.gz
[16:22] <jamesgecko> researcher1, does the tar.gz contain a binary?
[16:22] <Abhijit> !compile | researcher1
[16:23] <researcher1> ruan: yes but sourceforge is providing tar.gz
[16:23] <Shoryu> Hi, I'm trying to forward local ip traffic from a particular IP to make it go to a different IP. I'm trying to fake a local network address and point it at an external address. What I've been trying: sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp -d 192.168.100.213 --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 212.213.14.213:8080
[16:23] <Shoryu> I did turn on IP masquerade module and ip_forwarding ....
[16:24] <RubenAlonzo> brb
[16:24] <Shoryu> someone said I need an ACCEPT rule as well.
[16:25] <dryicebom> Shoryu, do you have a "1" in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ?
[16:25] <Shoryu> dryicebom: Yeah I did that first.
[16:26] <Shoryu> dryicebom: No wait. It's 0 now....
[16:26] <Shoryu> dryicebom: ok its 1 now...
[16:27] <ruan> Shoryu: try it again now?
[16:27] <Shoryu> ruan: Nope. No route to host.
[16:27] <dryicebom> Shoryu, that will reset every time the machine reboots, to make it permanent find the line that says net.ipv4_froward=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf
[16:27] <itech> everytime i closed my laptop and then reopened it i would get an error. now when ireopen it it doesn't do anything at all. why?
[16:27] <Shoryu> dryicebom: I hadn't rebooted. It reset itself somehow.
[16:28] <Shoryu> dryicebom: Yeah it doesn't work still. "No route to host"
[16:29] <PeaceMaker> Shoryu, do you have ufw up or not?
[16:29] <researcher1> I want to install octave3.2-headers octave3.2-html do shogun-octave-modular etc. files in one command can it be done?
[16:30] <Shoryu> PeaceMaker: ufp is active... i wondered if it conflicts with iptables ....
[16:30] <PeaceMaker> I did something similar with ufw, read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833844 to see if it helps.
[16:30] <Shoryu> PeaceMaker: Oops "ufw"
[16:31] <ruan> p is on the opposite side of the keyboard o_o
[16:31] <u_me> i need help , can i pm u , ruan ??
[16:31] <PeaceMaker> Shoryu, I think ufw is confilcting with the ip_forward bit.
[16:31] <itech> "pc i_pm_resume 0x0/0xa0 returns -16" "Device 0000:00:00.0 failed to resume async: eroor -16"     how do i fix that
[16:31] <ruan> !pm | u_me
[16:32] <Shoryu> PeaceMaker: Will try to disable it or something...
[16:33] <Shoryu> PeaceMaker: I disabled it... no affect.
[16:33] <intok> anyone else currently unable to view youtube from Movie Player/Totem? I know it worked before an I can play .flv files, but totem now just tosses up a non helpful gstreamer error
[16:33] <Shoryu> PeaceMaker: I'm gonna hve to use an alternate approach.... this sux.
[16:34] <claude_> hey everyone
[16:34] <claude_> i was trying to install ubuntu via usb disk, and it appears that grub was installed onto the disk instead of the internal drive
[16:34] <claude_> has anyone seen this?
[16:34] <Echo9er> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7148804
[16:35] <Echo9er> what people thing for a ubuntu laptop?
[16:35] <PeaceMaker> Shoryu, In file /etc/ufw/sysctl.conf, uncomment lines net.ipv4.ip_forward=1, net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding=1
[16:35] <PeaceMaker> I think these lines are guilty in changing ip_forward to 0.
[16:36] <Shoryu> PeaceMaker: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is supposably the same thing.
[16:36] <_UsUrPeR_> hey all. I am having some problems with my fstab file. I have a USB device which I have set to a certain mount directory, but is not mounting automatically upon plugging it in.
[16:36] <_UsUrPeR_> I can manually mount it, but I would prefer not to have to do that
[16:36] <MagicJ> Echoe9er: ubuntu is IDEAL for a laptop
[16:37] <PeaceMaker> Shoryu, yeah, but a reboot will ruin it and you don't know something else would reset it.
[16:37] <ruan> Echo9er: it has windows 7 preinstalled :c
[16:37] <Echo9er> lol
[16:37] <_UsUrPeR_> the fstab line is: UUID=(uuid)   /mountedusb ext4 defaults 0 2
[16:37] <Echo9er> well obviously i would remove it ruan
[16:37] <_UsUrPeR_> can anybody give me an idea of what the problem would be?
[16:37] <Shoryu> _UsUrPeR_: I think automount controls that stuff...?
[16:37] <jjp> usurper: 'auto' entries in fstab mean they r mounted on boot time, no that they r automounted when a removable device is inserted
[16:37] <jjp> shoryu: agreed
[16:37] <_UsUrPeR_> Shoryu: is that an fstab option, or something else?
[16:37] <ruan> Echo9er: yeah but its a waste of money D:
[16:38] <jamesgecko> MagicJ, Only if the laptop hardware is well supported.
[16:38] <Echo9er> well i cannot worry about that now ruan
[16:38] <_UsUrPeR_> jjp: is automount an option for fstab?
[16:38] <Echo9er> its 240 off.
[16:38] <_UsUrPeR_> should that go after default?
[16:38] <ruan> lol
[16:38] <MagicJ> jamesgecko: at this point I suspect that it would be tough to buy a new laptop that was not
[16:38] <_UsUrPeR_> i.e. default,automount
[16:38] <needlez> is there a simple way to change grub's background??
[16:38] <needlez> !grub
[16:38] <Shoryu> PeaceMaker: I didn't want the forwarding permanent anyways.
[16:39] <jamesgecko> MagicJ, It's not. Hibernate is infamous for a reason.
[16:39] <Shoryu> _UsUrPeR_: I thought automount is a program.
[16:39] <_UsUrPeR_> Shoryu: ok, I'll check in to it
[16:39] <_UsUrPeR_> thanks
[16:39] <Shoryu> _UsUrPeR_: Wait. I thnk i'm wrong.
[16:39] <ruan> needlez: i believe there is, splash image
[16:40] <ruan> needlez: http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20/GRUB2 Splashimages.html
[16:40] <Shoryu> _UsUrPeR_: it was an "I think" sort of answer... sorry.
[16:40] <MagicJ> jamesgecko: that would be a real pain because you could not test for that from the live CD either
[16:40] <needlez> ruan: yea, im looking how to change it from command line
[16:40] <ruan> needlez: perfect answer in that link
[16:40] <_UsUrPeR_> Shoryu: no big deal. Everything short of misinformation helps :D
[16:40] <needlez> ok, thanks
[16:40] <DystaN> I installed Ubuntu 10.10 and my flash player seems to be messed up , Unstable , cannot open multiple windows and wont open most websites , anyway arround this ? The Windows Also Keep Disappearing
[16:40] <jamesgecko> MagicJ, Would it work from live USB?

[16:42] <hyujkiol> hi, i've just installed sqldeveloper, but when it finished gave me an error. I've corrected the error by hand and now every time I install something or upgrade the error is being reported agains. What can I do?
[16:42] <ruan> needlez: is the link full?
[16:42] <jamesgecko> Liam, specific questions are easier to answer than vague requests for help. :)
[16:42] <Kentaree> hi guys, I'm having an issue with my logitech g35 usb headset in ubuntu. It plays sound once, for a while, and then stops, and starts spitting out usb_set_interface failed messages in log files
[16:43] <needlez> idk, i found it from the !grub link the bot linked me too
[16:43] <Liam> I can't connect to my wireless router, I've followed the guide on downloading the driver but I can't find a .inf file to use
[16:43] <ruan> needlez: hmm. i could upload the page
[16:43] <needlez> thanks anyways
[16:43] <ruan> needlez: i will upload the page for you
[16:44] <pigol> hello all
[16:44] <SITZ> hi folks :)
[16:44] <pigol> i am using ubuntu 10.04 on my dell laptop
[16:44] <needlez> ruan: its ok, I got the commands to do it, just grabbed them from the grub link the bot gave me
[16:44] <pigol> ubuntu is heating my laptop a lot
[16:44] <Echo9er> does everything work pigol?
[16:44] <ruan> needlez: ok.
[16:45] <pigol> it does not heat that much when i run windows on i
[16:45] <pigol> *it
[16:45] <Echo9er> do all the drivers work i mean pigol
[16:45] <pigol> pretty much
[16:45] <itech> okay i really need help here.
[16:46] <Liam> Anyone? I'm trying to register a new driver and I can't find a .inf file in the driver so I can't follow the ubuntu site's help
[16:47] <Jonii^> Hey, is there any way to make Ubuntu mouse act a bit more like windows mouse?
[16:47] <Kentaree> what's most likely to be at the root of sound issues, alsa or pulse?
[16:47] <ruan> Jonii^: how exactly? have you tried the mouse settings?
[16:47] <Jonii^> Like, not open that damn pop-up menu before I release the right button, _OR_ make right click unable to select menu items
[16:48] <Liam> Anyone? I'm trying to register a new driver and I can't find a .inf file in the driver so I can't follow the ubuntu site's help
[16:48] <Shoryu> Liam: If its a windows driver installer, the driver files will be packed inside the installer. Use something like UniExtract to get ithem out of it. That's a windows tool, and I don't know of a linux equivalent. I have no idea why linux would be able to use a windows driver...
[16:48] <Shoryu> Liam: Don't know if it would be able to use it. .... .
[16:48] <hiexpo> piglit, what temp is it running at
[16:48] <fission6> i am trying to uninstall openoffice.org through synaptic and some how in the process it ate up all my remianing diskspace? how the heck does this happen?
[16:48] <ruan> Jonii^: dont know about you, but right click can open menu items
[16:48] <Jonii^> Or, even make it so that pressing right mouse button to open menu, and then releasing it _can't_ select items from the menu list?
[16:48] <Liam> I downloaded an .exe and ran it, gave me a folder. As the ubuntu site said, can't find a .inf file in there. Is there any other way I can get the driver to work?
[16:49] <Jonii^> ruan, yes, that' s the problem
[16:49] <Jonii^> That's what I'm trying to fix
[16:50] <Shoryu> Liam: use "Shoryu:" at the beginning... it'll notify me that you messaged me.
[16:50] <nahab> moin ubuntustamm
[16:50] <meamme> is there any way to completely stealth my computer from the net ?? running "maverick" on amd 64
[16:51] <ruan> meamme: what's the point of that?
[16:51] <fission6> anyone know why uninstalling a package would eat up more disk space in the process?
[16:52] <ruan> meamme: you're safe enough as a linux user
[16:52] <jamesgecko> meamme, close all your ports. or better yet, unplug the ethernet cord. nothing gets out and nothing goes in! probably not what you want. :)
[16:52] <ruan> lol
[16:52] <meamme> cause i have a server constantly pinging me
[16:52] <Liam> Shoryu: Righto, will do. Anyway of doing it then, I know what the driver is I need, I just don't know how to get it into ubuntu.
[16:52] <ruan> meamme: block it from communicating with you?
[16:52] <llutz_> meamme: uuuh, how dangerous.... seriously, let them ping
[16:53] <ruan> lol
[16:53] <meamme>  ko
[16:53] <tomov> meamme: use iptables to block its ip, or do it on your router/server (if you are behind one)
[16:53] <meamme> cant seem to get the router to block it
[16:54] <ruan> !iptables
[16:54] <roel_> hi, can someone help me with my UM-1G usb midi interface, please?
[16:54] <meamme> ko
[16:54] <SITZ> anyone here, i have a weird problem with ubuntu
[16:54] <SITZ> please help
[16:54] <White-Horse> Hi for some unknown reason i click on disconnect on my wired network connnection and now i can not get it back i can now only use my wireless connection help me get my wired connection back please
[16:54] <ruan> SITZ: ask away
[16:55] <Shoryu> Liam: Um... well if you're d/ling a windows driver... an exe. That will not work afaik. You need to get the linux version of the driver.
[16:55] <SITZ> everytime I connect my usb mouse with PC
[16:55] <ruan> White-Horse: does it appear in network manager?
[16:55] <SITZ> it says device not detected
[16:55] <Shoryu> Liam: What "ubuntu" tutorial are you following anyways?
[16:55] <SITZ> and then after several plug-outs and plug-ins it gets connected with PC properly
[16:55] <White-Horse> ruan yes but it is greyed out
[16:55] <SITZ> any reasons ? or how to cure it ?
[16:55] <ruan> White-Horse: any enable options?
[16:56] <ruan> hm.. ifup eth0?
[16:56] <White-Horse> ruan no
[16:56] <Liam> Shoryu: Wireless troubleshooting section on the help section for the latest version. I don't think I'll be able to find a linux version :L
[16:56] <SITZ> ?
[16:56] <ruan> White-Horse: does "ifup eth0" in a terminal work?
[16:56] <White-Horse> ruan i will try right now
[16:57] <salomonv> hi, trying to run livecd (already have installed ubuntu but need to do some changes to my filesystem); 'create boot disk' usb device doesn't do anything except displaying SYSLINUX etc and old cd's I have (7.10/8.04) dump me to ash, anyone?
[16:57] <PeaceMaker> SITZ: I had a mouse failed to connect often, and tried another mouse with the same model, works fine. It turns out the USB connector wore out.
[16:58] <usr13> salomonv: You should try 10.04
[16:58] <White-Horse> ruan can i paste just 4 lines of text here ?
[16:58] <Shoryu> Liam: Paste a URL
[16:58] <SITZ> @PeaceMaker: well, I don't want to lose my this one ... any other suggestion ?
[16:58] <DOokami> hello everyone :) ,, any ideas about syncing Blackberry torch with ubuntu ?
[16:58] <Liam> Shoryu: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html
[16:58] <ruan> White-Horse: thats quite a lot
[16:58] <usr13> !paste | White-Horse
[16:58] <PeaceMaker> The thin copper foil on USB was gone.
[16:59] <SITZ> it seems to work fine when connected
[16:59] <jpsman> pardon the ignorance, but what is the name of the version comming out next month?
[16:59] <ruan> !natty | jpsman
[16:59] <SITZ> like right now, i'm using it and its working fine :)
[16:59] <jpsman> LOL
[16:59] <White-Horse> ruan here is the link > http://paste.ubuntu.com/581683/
[16:59] <nesh_> plz help "Init Not Found" with BusyBox!
[16:59] <jpsman> thanks ruan :0D
[16:59] <salomonv> not really busy here :P
[17:00] <ruan> White-Horse: ahh. run "sudo ifup eth0"
[17:00] <ruan> oh wait
[17:00] <ruan> White-Horse: ifconfig
[17:00] <Jonii^> Anyway, anyone know how to fix ubuntu mouse?
[17:01] <ruan> White-Horse: paste the output of ifconfig
[17:01] <Jonii^> Is there a way to do that in a different desktop environment? Other than gnome, that is
[17:01] <Shoryu> Liam: Ah... I see ... NDISWrapper .... Well.. Like I said, there WILL be an INF file. Windows must have that. What is in the folder the installer extracts? And are you able to use UniExtract on a windows computer?
[17:01] <intok> anyone else currently unable to view youtube from Movie Player/Totem? I know it worked before an I can play .flv files, but totem now just tosses up a non helpful gstreamer error
[17:01] <Shoryu> Liam: Also make sure you haven't simply downloaded a utility rather than a wireless driver.
[17:02] <salomonv> anyone here? :O
[17:02] <ruan> salomonv: yes
[17:02] <roel_> can someone help me with my usb midi interface?
[17:02] <twitch> !desktop | Jonii^
[17:03] <White-Horse> ruan heres the link to ifconfig > http://paste.ubuntu.com/581687/
[17:03] <ruan> lxde is also notable
[17:03] <Jonii^> twitch, that didn't help at all. My question already implied I'd already know all that, and I do know all that :/
[17:04] <PeaceMaker> SITZ, just use your mouse on another computer to see if works.
[17:04] <phonex01> guys need help here
[17:04] <ruan> White-Horse: sudo ifup wlan0?
[17:04] <phonex01> im using aircrack and im doing injection test i have negative answer !
[17:04] <GeekyAdam> yo. having problems with X. anyone wanna take a look at a segmentation fault in my Xorg.0.log?
[17:04] <phonex01> how can i make or patch my wireless card to provide injection ?
[17:04] <Liam> Shoryu: I'm fairly sure it's a driver, in the folder I got when I ran the .exe I found a variety of .dlls and .exes. I don't know if that software works but I don't know it's necessary. Is there any way I can find the drivers windows has a take the .inf from there?
[17:05] <salomonv> back
[17:05] <Jonii^> Anyways, is it really that difficult to fix ubuntu mouse?
[17:05] <GeekyAdam> phonex01: packet injection is a quality of a wireless card, if yours doesnt have it, you cant do it
[17:05] <PeaceMaker> My apartment is pested with mice recently.
[17:05] <White-Horse> ruan here it is > http://paste.ubuntu.com/581688/
[17:05] <SITZ> PeaceMaker: works, and the same problem is there with windows too :(
[17:05] <phonex01> oh no
[17:05] <Jonii^> I'm totally ready to work to get it working again, but I'd at least need pointers as to where to search for more hints
[17:05] <salomonv> my irc tripped, did anyone answer my message? :P
[17:06] <phonex01> ok what USB card i can use and provide injection ?
[17:06] <Shoryu> Liam: If there's another setup.exe, it would be in there. Run UniExtract on it so that it doesn't put it whereever it pleases.
[17:06] <phonex01> i mean wireless USB card
[17:06] <Gryphon4200> I'm having a little scripting problem... Is there away I can send something like screen -list | grep '[0-9]\{5\}' -o to an array?
[17:06] <f00bar80> I'm getting this error when tried to restart exim | ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken , paniclog says  Exim configuration error in line 832 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: .endif without matching .ifdef , but i can't find config.autogenerated.tmp
[17:06] <Ar71K> Hey so apparently my friend is getting a server from his work... I want to know what you guys think we should do with it?
[17:06] <White-Horse> ruan all this happened cause i forgot i did not have to disconnect from wired network to use wireless network
[17:06] <Shoryu> Liam: its tough picking out the driver from the windows/system32/drivers folder after it installs it. That's why I use UniExtract.
[17:06] <GeekyAdam> phonex01: you'll have to look online for what cards are known to be capable of packet injection. look around the backtrack forums.
[17:06] <usr13> White-Horse: use iwconfig
[17:06] <White-Horse> ruan i should of just unpluged the network cable
[17:07] <PeaceMaker> SITZ, if the same problem is there with windows, why not go to microsft and ask them as well?
[17:07] <salomonv> Okay, do does anybody know why my live, well, usb drive is stuck at syslinux?
[17:07] <phonex01> ok how can determine my card model in ubuntu ?
[17:07] <phonex01> can i use dmesg ?
[17:07] <usr13> White-Horse: apt-get install wicd
[17:07] <GeekyAdam> Ar71K: use it for dedicated game server and ventrillo server. then play games.
[17:07] <ruan> phonex01: card model of?
[17:07] <Jonii^> Are there any good places where one could expect answers to ubuntu-related questions?
[17:07] <Shoryu> phoneex01: sudo lshw
[17:07] <phonex01> Wireless card ?
[17:07] <fission6> let me try thanks
[17:07] <SITZ> PeaceMaker: Now, I think I  gotta do that :|
[17:07] <Ar71K> GeekyAdam i was thinking of that but are there any good ways to run my own cloud on it?
[17:07] <ruan> phonex01: depends on the card. lspci
[17:08] <Gryphon4200> Jonii: This would be a good place to start... :)
[17:08] <ruan> phonex01: lspci should work for pci wireless cards
[17:08] <Shoryu> phonex01: lshw does everything.
[17:08] <phonex01> i see it
[17:08] <SITZ> PeaceMaker: Actaully mouse was from a local vendor, not from MS ..so am ruined :(
[17:08] <f00bar80> any comment ?
[17:08] <phonex01> intel 5100
[17:08] <Ar71K> salomonv what did u use to make it?
[17:08] <GeekyAdam> Ar71K: you might not realize the real way a "cloud" or "cloud-computing" works.
[17:08] <White-Horse> usr13 heres the link > http://paste.ubuntu.com/581689/
[17:08] <salomonv> standard ubuntu startup disk creator
[17:09] <Jonii^> Gryphon4200, yeah, and I've been asking about how to fix ubuntu mouse for weeks now, and practically no responses at all
[17:09] <GeekyAdam> Ar71K: if you mean store your files on it for backup or whatever, then yes, you could easily use it as a file storage location on your network.
[17:09] <Ar71K> GeekyAdam: I don't im totally nub haha, we're getting 1-3 servers from his work and we're gona see what we can learn
[17:09] <Gryphon4200> a mouse issue?

[17:10] <GeekyAdam> Ar71K: one of my personal favorites is turning an old machine into a SmoothWall for awesome customization of your home network
[17:10] <llutz_> Jonii^: do other distros using gnome/compiz (mis)behave same way?
[17:10] <Jonii^> llutz, no idea
[17:10] <Liam> Shoryu: I tried UniExtract on the exe, and I got exactly the same as when I ran it on its own. I used the setup.exe too, and that looks like it's going to put the drivers in System32 and to a restart :L
[17:10] <brightspark> My battery is showing only a 40\% charge, yet the icon in the panel says "Laptop Battery is charged".  I can't get it to charge at all- how can I fix this?
[17:10] <usr13> White-Horse: apt-get install wicd and then log out and back in again.
[17:10] <SkiOne> I need help created a quick bash script that creates a symbolic link to all sub folders underneath my current position
[17:10] <llutz_> Jonii^: how do you know its a ubuntu fault then?
[17:10] <White-Horse> usr13 ok i will do that now
[17:10] <GeekyAdam> brightspark: most likely battery is old and only charges that much at max charge. it happens over time.
[17:11] <Gryphon4200> Jonii: I don't use the GUI all that often but I think there is an extensive options section in the mouse properties.
[17:11] <salomonv> older live cd's dumped me in busybox ash btw
[17:11] <llutz_> Jonii^: maybe you'd better ask in generic gnome-channels
[17:11] <phonex01> guys aircrack website says that intel 5100 support injection but when i make the test i have negative answer ?
[17:11] <Ar71K> GeekyAdam: I'm gonna look into that, i'm really looking for a beginner's guide to linux servers (most likely debian or ubuntu box)
[17:11] <Jonii^> llutz, I've also been asking if that's the case. Again, no responses at all
[17:11] <usr13> SkiOne: You want to link all sub directories underneath your current one to where?  And what is the current one?
[17:11] <Shoryu> Liam: There will be an inf file in there somewhere.
[17:11] <brightspark> @GeekyAdam This is actually a replacement battery I bought less than six months ago.
[17:11] <GeekyAdam> Ar71K: then id start with ubuntu server, imo its the easiest to learn. much like ubuntu compared to other desktop linux distros
[17:12] <GeekyAdam> brightspark: why'd you replace it? did old one do the same thing?
[17:12] <llutz_> Jonii^: have you used different window-managers to check the behaviour there?
[17:12] <BajK> did Kubuntu 9.10 already have a plymouth splash or was this introduced in 10.04?
[17:12] <usr13> SkiOne: What is it you want to do?
[17:12] <salomonv> anyone?
[17:12] <konaya> Hm. I have this odd problem with my wired ethernet controller. In short, it won't come up, and ifconfig says it generates an enormous amount of traffic while down (currently 480.2 TB and rising at ~0.1TB/min).
[17:12] <SkiOne> ./subfolder1-3 I need to ln a file in ./.template/file.php to subfolders 1-3 under my current folder
[17:12] <Shoryu> Liam: Tell me what driver you got... link me to it.
[17:12]  * SkiOne can not type today
[17:12] <Ar71K> GeekyAdam: I agree, i've used SUSE, crunchbang, mint fluxbox,  fedora and I always come back to ubuntu
[17:13] <Roasted> Question - Ubuntu has been slowly eating more RAM even though it's sitting idle on my server here on my desk. It began at 480 RAM and it's climbed to 961 meg. Every 10 seconds it shoots up another 10mb or so in use. What is it doing? NOTHING is running but default processes. It's not a big deal, I'm just curious to know.
[17:13] <brightspark> GeekyAdam: No, but it was three years old and only held about twenty minutes.  This one can discharge, showing 50min left, but I can't make it recharge at all.
[17:13] <Jonii^> llutz, no idea what are window-managers
[17:13] <Liam> Shoryu: Ack. *facepalm* There is a .inf file there. It was stuck between a .ini and a .inx, is why I didn't see it D:
[17:13] <SkiOne> cp -i looks like it will work
[17:13] <salomonv> Roasted, did you try opening system monitor to see what process it is?
[17:13] <llutz_> Jonii^: those things managing the windows on your screen
[17:13] <konaya> Anyone?
[17:14] <Shoryu> Liam: INX?? ... ppl using crazy file exts ... well glad you found it. Good luck with that.
[17:14] <GeekyAdam> brightspark: are you sure you're using the correct power cable? Dell laptops use either a 65watt or 90watt and if you use a 65 for a 90, the battery doesnt charge but the laptop still works fine when plugged in.
[17:14] <DOokami> hello guys
[17:14] <Shoryu> Liam: Thank you for using the live help system.
[17:14] <Roasted> salomonv, none of the processes are taking up that much RAM. I assume it's caching stuff in the background, but I'm wondering A - why, B - can I tell it to stop, C - will this effect performance if I add a bunch of applications to active tasks that use up majority of my memory.
[17:14] <DOokami> what's the best video converter ?
[17:14] <llutz_> Jonii^: i just checked an old kde-3, same action there. so it seems to be a thing of xorg mouse event handling. ask those xorg-devs
[17:14] <bubblegummybear> hey Samuel2 :)
[17:14] <Ar71K> GeekyAdam: Do you know of any ways to make my server access files on computers of my network and put them up on the internet with a password to access them?
[17:14] <Liam> Shoryu: XD Thanks, don't worry, I'll be back if something else goes wrong :P
[17:14] <BadElvis> i used to have sound preferences in my gnome panel, how ca i restore them
[17:14] <usr13> SkiOne: cp will copy the files
[17:14] <Jonii^> llutz, ok. Where to ask next?
[17:14] <salomonv> Roasted but what process eats the most memory?
[17:14] <Shoryu> DOokami: If this were Windows, I'd say SUPER by eRightSoft, but on linux you're stuck with ffmpeg and frontends written for it.
[17:15] <usr13> SkiOne: ln -s  will create symlink
[17:15] <SkiOne> I was thinking I could copy the sym links
[17:15] <AdvoWork> is it possible to update iconv to a later version?
[17:15] <DOokami> Shoryu ,, ffmpeg ? ,, can i download that ?
[17:15] <llutz_> Jonii^: no idea, try #xorg-devel as a start
[17:15] <GeekyAdam> Ar71K: i cant personally think of any packages ive used, but you might want to look more into mounting network locations and stuff like that.
[17:15] <Roasted> salomonv, compiz @ 23.5MiB. Certainly not enough to warrant the 1gb in use.
[17:15] <llutz_> Jonii^: google should help
[17:15] <GeekyAdam> Ar71K: learn more about using a server before you jumpi n
[17:15] <ruan> DOokami: try PiTiVi.. drag a video in there and export it
[17:15] <usr13> SkiOne: Well, yes I think cp will copy symlinks
[17:16] <PeaceMaker> Is it true btrfs will be used as default FS in ubuntu in future?
[17:16] <SkiOne> I need to run this command ln -s ../.template/* .
[17:16] <SkiOne> from inside each sub folder
[17:16] <ruan> !btrfs
[17:16] <hyjuki> I've just installed OracleSqlDeveloper, but It had an error on its install. I've fixed by hand and its running, but every install or update that I made it still gives me the config error. What should I do?
[17:16] <SkiOne> is there an easy way to do that?
[17:16] <brightspark> GeekyAdam: I have used this charger and battery combination without problems before.  Mine is a Gateway, with an 11-volt battery and a 19V/3.42A source
[17:16] <salomonv> Roasted, that's weird, most of the times there's one process eating it. Are you sure you get the results from all tasks?
[17:16] <Ar71K> GeekyAdam: Thanks man, maybe i'll download some EBooks on ubuntu servers first
[17:16] <a1cd> Hi guys, quick question.. in ubuntu how do you check what mode apache is running in? I'm trying to figure out if I am running apache2-mpm-itk or apache2-mpm-prefork
[17:16] <Roasted> salomonv, I have no idea. How do I tell?
[17:18] <White-Horse> usr13 i still do not have my wired network back
[17:18] <Shoryu> DOokami: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg  ... but google around for frontends for linux. The command line versino can be difficult to get used to without researching examples.
[17:18] <White-Horse> usr13 only the wireless networks hows up
[17:18] <Gryphon4200> Jonii: Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=207152
[17:18] <usr13> SkiOne: I take that back. If you try and cp a symlink, it will copy the file.
[17:18] <hyjuki_> i'm was out. I've changed from hyjuki to hyjuki_
[17:19] <f00bar80> any comment ???

[17:21] <DOokami> Shoryu: trying to frontends right now :)
[17:21] <fission6> how do i remove a symlink
[17:21] <usr13> SkiOne: What exactly are you trying to do?
[17:21] <llutz_> fission6: rm link
[17:21] <AdvoWork> is it possible to update iconv to a later version?
[17:21] <DOokami> anythoughts about syncing Blackberry Torch to Ubuntu ?
[17:21] <SkiOne> run the ln command in each sub folder
[17:21] <usr13> SkiOne: And it this a laptop or a desktop?
[17:21] <JTS000ID_> I wrote a shell script using XRandR to control display properties. My solution is ready for Linux. But since we support multiple platforms I am looking for a similar library (like XrandR) for windows platform. I know I'm asking a windows question. But then Windows guys won't understand what Xrandr is. Any help is much appreciated.
[17:21] <fission6> do i need -f? i keep getting rm: cannot remove `collection': Is a directory
[17:21] <Gryphon4200> SkiOne: you'll need to put ` around your ln and cd statements...
[17:21] <Gryphon4200> that might help
[17:22] <SkiOne> farir enough but I am getting an error before that
[17:22] <brightspark> fission6: I htink you need a -r
[17:22] <usr13> White-Horse: What is it exactly you are trying to do?  And is this a laptop or desktop?
[17:22] <ruan> DOokami: PiTiVi comes preinstalled with ubuntu i think
[17:22] <usr13> SkiOne: Sorry for the last two lines, was miss-directed
[17:22] <ruan> !info pitivi
[17:23] <DOokami> ruan: trying it and iriverter, thank you :)
[17:23] <SkiOne> np
[17:23] <fission6> how do i show symlink targets in ls?
[17:23] <llutz_> fission6: then its not a symlink
[17:23] <fission6> huh
[17:23] <Gryphon4200> How do I turn off the memeber join notifications? I'm using irssi
[17:24] <ruan> Gryphon4200: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS
[17:24] <ruan> Gryphon4200: /help ignore
[17:24] <fission6> ah i got i tnow
[17:24] <Gryphon4200> Thanks ruan... The room was scrolling a little to much...
[17:26] <llutz_> brightspark: removing a symlink NEVER needs rm -r
[17:28] <brightspark> llutz_: yeah I didn't see his first line.  based on the error message I did see, that was the solution that came to mind.
[17:29] <Liam> Hey, I'm having trouble with my wireless driver. I can't install the ndisgtk package to register my .inf file, can anyone help?
[17:29] <Gryphon4200> ruan: /help ignore doesn't do anything for me
[17:29] <SkiOne> this is what I came up with for d in *; do [[ -d "$d" ]] && ln -s ../.template/process_message_report.php "$d"; done
[17:29] <llutz_> brightspark: is his case, rm -r   would have removed the directory (by mistake)
[17:30] <ruan> Gryphon4200: check tab 1 (alt+1)
[17:30] <Gryphon4200> ruan: learned something new... sweet...
[17:30] <dTx> Liam, make sure your Ubuntu CD is in the drive, ensure it's listed in the repositories in Synaptic, and try it more than once. It bombed out on me the first time, but the second time it worked.
[17:31] <joe_9> the Sbackup available from the Ubuntu repositories is an older version and has a bug where you cannot restore your backups. When will the repository be updated?
[17:31] <Liam> DTx: I've got ubuntu installed to dual boot. When running ubuntu the install button does nothing. When on Vista, firefox does nothing and IE breaks when trying to install it.
[17:32] <dTx> Liam, what does Vista Firefox and IE have to do with it?
[17:32] <brightspark> llutz_: like I said, I didn't have the part where he claimed it was a symlink.  -r would have, as you pointed out, overridden the error.
[17:33] <Liam> dTx: I don't have an internet connection when running Ubuntu yet, so I was going to DL the package and put it on an XHDD
[17:33] <dTx> The package is on the Ubuntu install CD. Check your Repositories in Synaptic and make sure the CD is checked.
[17:33] <Liam> dTx: I'm not using a CD, I installing using Wubi, or whatever the program is called.
[17:33] <dTx> Ah
[17:34] <dTx> You wouldn't happen to know the chipset of your wireless would you?
[17:34] <Liam> Heh, no. I tried but Dell screwed me over :P
[17:35] <skulltip> do i need to remove libreoffice to install openoffice?
[17:35] <bart_> ppp
[17:35] <dTx> Liam, I'm not sure what to tell you. I have no experience with downloading packages from Ubuntu repositories without using apt-get
[17:35] <earthmeLon> I am running Ubuntu right now.  I have an extra partition on my HDD that I would like to install Natty on to do some tests.  Is there any way for me to install Natty with it's ISO on that partition without having to burn/boot from CD?  I'd like to install it without turning my computer off.  :D
[17:36] <dTx> skulltip, why would you want to uninstall libreoffice for openoffice. That's quite the downgrade.
[17:36] <honddddd> Hi, I have a laptop
[17:36] <honddddd> When using battery, how can I set the performance.
[17:36] <Jonny> Hey, does anyone have any idea why large pictures in firefox on 10.4 are coming out as noise, or heavily distorted?
[17:36] <honddddd> Like hight performance and low performace
[17:37] <needlez> is there a way I can check to make sure logrotate is running correctly??
[17:37] <spid3rnet> how no alote aboute security
[17:37] <sipior> needlez: run it manually. see if it rotated your logs.

[17:38] <sipior> needlez: add data to your logs. return to step one.

[17:38] <melow01> I turned off system sounds in Ubuntu Lucid but how do I kill the logon sound when the machine first boots up?  The Ubuntu logon screen sound.
[17:38] <needlez> kk

[17:39] <bB0i> hello everyone
[17:39] <airwork> hi. i can't mount /dev/sda1. what's the correct command?
[17:40] <skulltip> dTx - the downgrade is not being able to design forms as a front-end for db processing
[17:40] <jqke> airwork: mount /dev/sda1 /repertory_that_exist ?
[17:41] <jqke> maybe add the option to specify the filesystem
[17:41] <serghmt> Hi everyone
[17:41] <serghmt> I have a weird problem
[17:42] <airwork> it tells me it doesn't have a valid NTFS :O

[17:42] <serghmt> I can't authenticate
[17:42] <skulltip> otherwise have no issue using either
[17:42] <serghmt> I mean the window that tells me to input the pass
[17:42] <serghmt> It appears, shakes for a second and disappears
[17:42] <serghmt> I'm desperate
[17:43] <serghmt> I tried google but no results
[17:43] <Ang3|ofD3ath> here has anyone ever messed with cacti before I am having issues with snmp its refusing to connect to cacti
[17:43] <serghmt> Any ideas about that?
[17:44] <Abhijit> serghmt, are you able to input full password?
[17:44] <_UsUrPeR_> serghmt: that happens when you put in the wrong password
[17:44] <serghmt> I don't have the time
[17:44] <needlez> yea ok so logrotate, isn't working right or not configured correctly. What I would rather have is someway to tell the file when it reaches 20 lines to erase the first line and put the new response on line 1
[17:44] <serghmt> to do anything
[17:44] <mang0> Guys im having trouble getting my broadcom wifi card to work with ubuntu 10.10. i would be happy if someone could help me with this problem :D please /query me your reply as im on my phone and text disappears in 10 secs lol thanks :)
[17:44] <Abhijit> ??
[17:44] <serghmt> it disappears
[17:44] <earthmeLon> I am messing around in Grub2.  I have to set the root (root=(hd0,1)), but I am not sure which hd it is.  Is their a way to 'convert' or determine what the hd value of a particular /dev/sda* drive?
[17:44] <swim> howdy folks..  does anybody have any pointers about synchronizing files between different computers for programs like rednotebook with ubuntu???
[17:44] <serghmt> so no admin panel
[17:45] <serghmt> Except for gksudo
[17:45] <serghmt> it works that way
[17:45] <mang0> Please see my above question :D
[17:46] <llutz_> swim: rsync, unison
[17:46] <serghmt> So basically the dialog is completely broken
[17:46] <Abhijit> serghmt, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474676
[17:46] <sipior> needlez: consult the logrotate man page, and see if such an option exists. i suspect it doesn't.
[17:46] <Abhijit> serghmt, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474676
[17:46] <serghmt> I don't think it's my problem
[17:46] <Abhijit> no idea then
[17:47] <sipior> needlez: perhaps the "nocopy" option?
[17:47] <Abhijit> serghmt, ask new question on ubuntuforums.org and askubuntu.coj
[17:47] <Abhijit> askubuntu.com
[17:47] <mang0> Please help!
[17:47] <serghmt> I mean not the dialog at startup

[17:48] <sipior> mang0: standard protocol is to repeat your question at ten minute intervals.
[17:48] <needlez> sipior: it doesn't , so what I'm thinking is there should be a way that I can tell sed when this file reaches 20 lines delete the first line... just not sure how to do that, if it would be a script that runs all the time to check, or if it should be something added to the main script that is running to do the log??
[17:50] <onebitxajax> hi to all
[17:50] <onebitxajax> how can see the Multiplier  of my cpu??
[17:50] <cizra> What's the name of kernel packages in Ubuntu? What do I need to install to get a kernel?
[17:50] <sipior> needlez: sounds like you're just making work for yourself. the logrotate manpage does discuss hooking into the relocation scripts (postrotate, et alia)
[17:51] <cptmorgan> what package provides the command arch?
[17:51] <usr13> !broadcom | mang0
[17:51] <llutz_> cptmorgan: coreutils
[17:52] <cizra> ahh, linux-image
[17:52] <usr13> onebitxajax: in the cmos settings.
[17:52] <airwork> is there an equivalent to chkdsk that can be run under ubuntu?
[17:52] <ruan> airwork: fsck
[17:52] <airwork> for ntfs drives, i mean
[17:52] <onebitxajax> usr13← I want to know if cpu is unlocked
[17:52] <ruan> airwork: ntfs tools hmm
[17:52] <usr13> onebitxajax: Or look up the specs on manufacturers website
[17:53] <airwork> ruan: ntfsfix told me to run chkdsk =/
[17:53] <brosseaub> ntfs should be fixed in windows
[17:53] <cptmorgan> llutz_: are you sure in 8.04 ? not seeing it
[17:53] <ruan> i forgot the name of that ntfs tools thing
[17:53] <ruan> !ntfs
[17:53] <ruan> nonono
[17:53] <ruan> data recovery. it was linked there
[17:53] <llutz_> !find bin/arch hardy
[17:53] <airwork> brosseaub, i can't boot to windows
[17:54] <needlez> sipior: yea, just wondering if there's other ways to do things
[17:54] <sipior> needlez: there are always other ways of doing things.
[17:54] <brosseaub> i had to find a windows machine to fix a usb drive nothing in ubuntu could fix it
[17:54] <llutz_> cptmorgan: no idea about 8.04
[17:54] <ruan> airwork: ntfsprogs
[17:54] <usr13> brosseaub: What needed fixing?
[17:54] <ruan> !info ntfsprogs
[17:54] <needlez> plus wasnt grasping logrotate all that well, so figured there had to be an easier or simplier way to just add something to my already running script
[17:55] <cptmorgan> llutz_: thanks... apt-cache wont search for provided files in packages?
[17:55] <sipior> needlez: but it's surely easier to make use of the functionality already provided by logrotate.
[17:55] <llutz_> cptmorgan: apt-file does
[17:55] <airwork> usr13, that fdisk stuff killed /dev/sda1
[17:55] <llutz_> cptmorgan: dpkg -S $(which arch)
[17:55] <usr13> airwork: what do you mean it killed it?
[17:55] <airwork> can't mount it
[17:56] <airwork> ntfsfix tells me it's corrupted and i need to run chkdsk, but now i don't have windows anymore
[17:56] <ruan> airwork: ntfsprogs
[17:56] <usr13> airwork: fdisk is simply a partitioning tool.  If I recall, you asked how to delete a partition.  Well did it delete ther partition?
[17:56] <needlez> sipior: but can logrotate use only one file and restrict its size and then delete first line once file reaches 20 lines?? cuz thats what I really want... I need to save space and only want the log to be 20 lines at all times, but want the log to keep updating
[17:56] <Samuel2> is there a config file that contains settings for display devices?

[17:56] <brosseaub> ntsf disk table was broken and no tool in ubuntu could fit it i had to use some pretty obscure windows comand to fix it. Once the data was recovered the disk was formated to ext3....
[17:56] <airwork> usr13: it deleted /dev/sda5 correctly and sda2 as well. installed ubuntu on sda6 (new partition), but sda1 is not mountable anymore
[17:57] <usr13> airwork: What partition are you trying to mount?  The one you deleted?
[17:57] <airwork> usr13: no, the one i left intact
[17:57] <usr13> airwork: So how is it you think fdisk "killed it"?
[17:57] <sipior> needlez: no, it will not run automatically when the file exceeds twenty lines. if you're really interested in saving space, logging to a remote host is a much better option.
[17:58] <airwork> usr13: the fact that i can't mount it anymore?
[17:58] <usr13> airwork: Your logic is flawed.
[17:58] <v4nelle> guys how can i check if a package is installed manually or not?
[17:58] <airwork> i deleted sda5 (blocks 5380~116764, although the drive only really goes to 12161). i'm trying to mount sda1 which is/was 1~5379.
[17:58] <needlez> sipior: ok, well yea i could log to remote host didn't think of that, might just do that
[17:59] <sipior> needlez: could save you a lot of trouble, i imagine.
[17:59] <usr13> airwork: Clearly, the partition table had errors before you started.  Right?
[17:59] <airwork> right
[17:59] <needlez> yea, prolly will, don't know why I didn't think to do that
[17:59] <usr13> airwork: So what happens when you try to mount it?  What error do you get?
[17:59] <mehdi> how can i sync my htc ? it legend model
[18:00] <usr13> airwork: And what is it you're wanting to do with it in the first place?
[18:00] <M0hamed> hello all
[18:00] <M0hamed> I wanted to ask a question
[18:00] <airwork> i'm just trying to access the files from ubuntu, i don't really care about booting into xp (what is installed in it) any time soon. i get 'NTFS signature is missing' after mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /windows

[18:09] <overclucker> skullboy: you could get a better clue of your layout with: sudo parted -l
[18:09] <Echo9er> ruan help me find a better deal
[18:10] <sandking> hi\
[18:10] <usr13> airwork: I dont know if chkdsk will fix it or not, but it's worth a try.  The bottom line is that if you are working with MS Windows filesystems (such as vfat and [especially] ntfs) it is best to work on them from the MS Windows platform.  (Not linux).
[18:10] <bastidrazor> Echo9er: you do know you're in the wrong channel for computer deals?
[18:10] <airwork> usr13, i see.. i guess i'll have to wait til i go home, because i don't have a copy of windows handy
[18:10] <Echo9er> oh and i suppose there is a right channel? pfft.
[18:11] <cormyn> hey all, mistakingly deleted some /usr/bin/pg_* files thinking they were from a botched postgres 9 installation, but now I can't even remove/purge postgres-8.4 because pg_ctlcluster is missing ... but postgresql 8.4 won't start up now either ... how can I force a deletion of these packages so I can reinstall a clean copy?

[18:11] <FloodBot2> skullboy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:11] <bastidrazor> Echo9er: #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:12] <overclucker> !paste | skullboy
[18:12] <Echo9er> you got lucky
[18:12] <usr13> airwork: Reading and writing to vfat from Linux is ok, works pretty well.  ntfs is a little different and once in a while you will have problems when accessing data on a ntfs file system, it works ok usually, but not always.  And as far as fixing errors, I wouldn't try it from Linux, only from MS Windows.
[18:12] <overclucker> skullboy: paste the output of: sudo parted -l
[18:13] <Samuel2> can i hide a dir or folder in ubuntu?

[18:14] <domo_> do I install Google Chrome via the website or package manager?
 http://pastebin.com/R3hhjFrF
[18:15] <thiebaude> domo_, i installed it from the web
[18:15] <[TK]D-Fender> domo_: I might advise to use Cromium which is provided in USC
[18:15] <thiebaude> :)
[18:15] <johan^izi> domo_, Download the .deb from the site and install using your package manager
[18:15] <bastidrazor> domo_: chrome you would install from their site, there is a ppa for chromium nightly builds
[18:15] <cormyn> zvacet: even though pgsql isn't running, it still tries a 'stop' cmd before continuing, but pg_ctlcluster doesn't exist, so the remove/purge fails
[18:15] <usr13> domo_: You can install it from the package-manager if you like.
[18:15] <Ga_L> Must add the repository for chromium i think
[18:15] <Starminn> domo_: I installed fomr the web too
[18:16] <domo_> whats the advantage from the web vs package manager?
[18:16] <Hashyri> Hi, I downloaded ubuntu server, and I'm trying to install oracle SQL server on it, is it recommendable or should I go for windows ? (This is for learning purposes only)

[18:19] <usr13> Liam: Are you using ndiswrapper?
[18:19] <cormyn> zvacet: removing one by one didn't work ... hacked around it by creating a pg_ctlcluster script that just does an 'exit 0', seems to have worked for removal

[18:20] <sandking> i just downloaded this app http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsight/download-draftsight/ but when i try to install it it tells me that it's wrong architecture (i got 64 bit Ubuntu)  - shouldn't 64 bit run also 32?
[18:20] <Liam> usr13: I tried to get hold of it, but while running Ubuntu I have no internet connection. And while on vista I can't DL it so I don't know how
[18:20] <bastidrazor> sandking: negative.
[18:20] <sandking> [not by default but i thought that this options was mentioned somewhere]
[18:20] <ruan> sandking: install 32bit libs to run 32bit applications
[18:20] <bastidrazor> sandking: oh wait.. ia32libs or something to that effect..
[18:20] <usr13> Liam: What is the device? (What does lspci say about it?)

[18:28] <overclucker> skullboy: Then I think you should try: set root=(hd0,2)

[18:36] <evancharlton> bastidrazor: it's not an alias
[18:37] <bastidrazor> evancharlton: what is it?
[18:37] <evancharlton> bastidrazor: it's every bin that I added to my PATH
[18:37] <evancharlton> bastidrazor: just executables. For example, the Android SDK
[18:37] <evancharlton> `adb` works just fine; `which adb` = ''
[18:38] <bastidrazor> evancharlton: you don't add actual files to your path. you can directories that have bins in them..
[18:38] <evancharlton> bastidrazor: I know. I added dirs

[18:43] <splnet> usr13: ntpdate works with my config
[18:44] <usr13> splnet: From a client?
[18:44] <craz^> anyone know how to get more services to show up under System > Administration?
[18:44] <usr13> splnet: From another computer?
[18:44] <splnet> yeah my machine (w ntp.conf that I showed you) is acting as a client to 192.168.1.1
[18:44] <vish> herpderp: first thing, not to call yourself " Self-admitted Ubuntu n00b" ;p
[18:45] <usr13> splnet: Well, show me the npt.conf of the server.
[18:45] <splnet> usr13: don't have access to it
[18:45] <sss314> Suddenly when I try to install updates from Update Manager or install any application with Ubuntu Software Center, I get a message saying "Requires installation of untrusted packages"
[18:45] <usr13> splnet: You can't fix what you don't have access to.
[18:45] <splnet> usr13: other machines work as a broadcast client to it
[18:46] <usr13> splnet: Why not just use another time server?
[18:46] <splnet> usr13: why are you convinced its the server? ntpdate works to it, other broadcast clients work to it so thats why I'd like to fix ntpd
[18:47] <overclucker> bullgard4: you have to 'set root=(hdx,y)' before specifying a kernel
[18:47] <usr13> splnet: Ok, I must admit.  I'm not sure I know what your question is (or was).
[18:47] <splnet> usr13: I need two clients to be synced with a small error between the two. Using an NTP server on the LAN does this
[18:48] <wildc4rd> evenin all!
[18:48] <usr13> splnet: /etc/ntp.conf is a configuration file for ntpd
[18:48] <splnet> usr13: the question is/was client A using ntpd needs to sync to a stratum 3 server 192.168.1.1
[18:48]  * _sudo looks at the sun out the window
[18:49] <splnet> usr13: right ntpd can be used for a server AND a client
[18:49] <splnet> I want to use it as a client
[18:49] <sss314> Suddenly when I try to install updates from Update Manager or install any open source application with Ubuntu Software Center, I get a message saying "Requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
[18:50] <usr13> splnet: You can have them update their time often, like once a week or every other day and that should do it. Right?  Just have them use the same time server, what ever time server you like.
[18:50] <Danny_Joris_> small question: does Ubuntu for netbooks have the same functionality as Ubuntu for desktops? Is it only the GUI that is simplified or can you also do less with it?
[18:51] <splnet> usr13: right I just want that server to be the one on the LAN.. but ntpd is rejecting it for some reason. You get my problem now?
[18:51] <wmp> hello, i have problem with dpkg-buildpackage, this is part from my debian/control: http://wklej.org/id/494686 and this is error from dpkg-buildpackage: http://wklej.org/id/494689
[18:51] <MarconM> how i disable my trash
[18:51] <zachlr> The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages:  * openjdk-6-jdk  * ecj  * gcj-4.4-jdk  * gcj-4.5-jdk -- I'm a little confused about which of these is the right one, and why there is more than one.
[18:51] <MarconM> i want to delet forever
[18:51] <drc> splnet: You might try asking in #ntp
[18:52] <usr13> splnet: Well, not sure why ntpd is rejecting it, but can't use ntpdate instead?  Is that a viable work-around?
[18:52] <usr13> drc: Good idea.
[18:52] <overclucker> Danny_Joris_: only the interface is different
[18:52] <splnet> usr13: well I could with a crontab but thats kind of what ntpd is supposed to do
[18:53] <Danny_Joris_> overclucker: cool, thanks!
[18:53] <drc> usr13: Right tool/channel for the right job :)
[18:53] <madsj> hi; I get no errors when I run "sudo pm-hibernate", but my computer is not hibernating
[18:54] <wmp> #ubuntu.pl
[18:54] <mehdi> anyone know any thing about htc syncing?
[18:54] <usr13> splnet: I know, but until you fix it, ... I don't know and don't know how to fix it. And I know drc... right tool for right job... but just a work-around....
[18:54] <Samuel2> do i need a virusscanner on my ubuntu?
[18:54] <jrib> !virus | Samuel2, no
[18:55] <madsj> !security | Samuel2
[18:55] <Samuel2> i run a webserver here is there no risk at all?
[18:56] <madsj> Samuel2: on localhost, or for everyone? In the latter case, I hope you have some firewall-rules
[18:56] <jdeslaur> samuel2: everything is exploitable
[18:57] <Samuel2> is there are firewall active on ubuntu by default?
[18:57] <erUSUL> Samuel2: no
[18:57] <Samuel2> oke what is a good firewall?
[18:57]  * drc notes to self, NEVER go to a website Samuel2  has anything to do with
[18:58] <Samuel2> can i make it in a way so its only available to some selected ip's?
[18:58] <syrinx_> wat
[18:58] <[TK]D-Fender> Samuel2: Yes.. by setting up a firewall
[18:58] <Samuel2> !firewall
[18:58] <[TK]D-Fender> Samuel2: And you already HAVE one.. its called iptables
[18:59] <Samuel2> great
[18:59] <Samuel2> i'll take the server down for now
[18:59] <Samuel2> to be save
[18:59] <Ploploploop> Hello, I have a problem : the space to entre my password to log in my session doesn' appears at boot. Has someone encoutered a similar problem?
[18:59] <usr13> Samuel2: What kind of server is it?
[19:00] <Samuel2> apache2
[19:00] <Samuel2> basic lamp
[19:00] <_antant_> Can I mount 2 folders to the same place, so the contents are merged?
[19:00] <Ploploploop> It's a new installation, right after an upgrade
[19:01] <_antant_> ok, more basic question. I've mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/Media, can I then mount /mnt/Media/Media to /home/ant/Media ?
[19:01] <Samuel2> is there a GUI for iptables?
[19:01] <cryptodira> fresh install of 10.04 amd/64 .... all updates made.... neither totem nor vlc will play dvd's from the player.... but will from the HDD.... how can i fix this??
[19:02] <erUSUL> !info gufw | Samuel2
[19:02] <bullgard4> overclucker: Inserting a line 'grub> root=(hd0,7)' before the linux ... command obtains also the 'error: file not found.' message.
[19:02] <Ploploploop> Help?
[19:03] <Samuel2> great
[19:03] <Samuel2> i love ubuntu
[19:03] <coz_> hey all
[19:03] <hamstar_> Hi ^_^
[19:03] <coz_> Sami345,  very cool
[19:04] <_sudo> overclucker: love the name
[19:04] <Sami345> coz_, don't highlight me :D
[19:06] <zek152> is there an option to have "ls" display a file like "fd2" before a file like "fd100"?
[19:07] <ilea> anyone knows if empathi haves plugins for sending files or video calling?
[19:07] <bullgard4> ZekYou ca try 'sort'
[19:07] <usr13> zek152: not sure what your question is but see man ls
[19:07] <bullgard4> zek152: You ca try 'sort'
[19:07] <usr13> zek152: You can reverse the order  ls -ltr
[19:08] <usr13> zek152: You can reverse the order  ls -r
[19:08] <peteyk> time to drink my own piss
[19:08] <peteyk> this was meant for another channel (reddit)
[19:08] <peteyk> dammit
[19:09] <bullgard4> !language | peteyk
[19:09] <pyrofallout> lol
[19:09] <pyrofallout> really?
[19:09] <ilea> anybody knows if empathi haves some plug-ins for sending files and vor video chat????
[19:09] <ilea> for*
[19:09] <zek152> usr13, thanks.  i think ive confirmed that what I would like can't be done easily
[19:09] <bullgard4> ilea: Yes.
[19:10] <usr13> zek152: There are verious ways to sort files, you can pipe ls to sort.  See man sort
[19:10] <brontosaurusrex> zek152, what you are looking for is called: natural sort order, not that i know how to do that in bash
[19:12] <bullgard4> ilea: To video-chat via Empathy you'll need only a recent version of Ubuntu and installing Empathy packages, a webcam, a communication partner and some luck for NAT traversing. Your computer needs to be powerful enough. A centrino class computer often is not sufficient.
[19:12] <_antant_> I've mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/Media, can I then mount /mnt/Media/Media to /home/ant/Media ?
[19:13] <Dwood> Hey guys, i've been having a problem with my sounds, someone want to help me troubleshoot with my alsa-base file?
[19:14] <delac> trying to connect my backup drive (external usb). doesn't connect and gives these lines in syslog:
[19:14] <delac> end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0
[19:14] <delac> Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 0
[19:14] <delac> thoughts?
[19:16] <zek152> thanks all, for anyone who is curious "ls | sort -V" does a natural sort.
[19:16] <brontosaurusrex> zek152, how about: ls --sort=version ?
[19:16] <zek152> brontosaurusrex, thanks,  i was having trouble figuring out the name for what i wanted so your input was invaluable
[19:17] <hazzarux> evening, everybody!
[19:18] <raido> zek152: does the "v" option not do that?
[19:18] <scarleo> delac: Do you know what filesystem is on sdc?
[19:18] <scarleo> delac: also, are you sure the drive is working ok?
[19:19] <delac> scarleo: it's ntfs
[19:19] <delac> cashback: and it was working ok a while ago
[19:19] <delac> cashback: sory, that was not for you
[19:19] <brontosaurusrex> right, ls -v should do the same
[19:19] <cashback> np
[19:20] <delac> scarleo: althoug that while includes a upgrade fron lucid to maveric
[19:20] <keplenk> hey guys, anybody knows any plugin or software that can download flash videos on a web browser (embedded or not).  It is like Internet Download Manager in Windows.
[19:22] <mcb_2> keplenk: You can use Flah video downloader. It is an Firefox add-on.
[19:22] <bubblegummybear> keplenk: illegal though
[19:22] <shym> hi all
[19:22] <bubblegummybear> hey
[19:22] <shym> why i cant join #django ?
[19:22] <_sudo> can't you access the url directly and goto file saveas
[19:22] <bubblegummybear> shym: you need to be registered
[19:23] <scarleo> Ok, so it has been working ok? Can you try to reinstall ntfs-3g?
[19:23] <keplenk> mcb_2: thanks ill try it
[19:23] <scarleo> delac: ^
[19:23] <bubblegummybear> !register | shym
[19:23] <delac> ok, I'll try
[19:23] <crow_> irc://irc.oltreirc.net/the_mask
[19:24] <bubblegummybear> ><
[19:26] <akret> hi i have been facing some problems with the network manager in ubuntu10.10
[19:26] <airstr1ke> where can i change settings for unit?
[19:27] <datalay> can i communicate with serial port connected smart card device.. with fgets() and fputs()
[19:27] <airstr1ke> is there a config file (text-like) for the mobile broadband (3g) connections set in nm-connection-editor?
[19:27] <akret> my cell phone restarts after 5 minutues of connection
[19:28] <hwilde> hi I lost a smbmount and now it says the directory is d?????????   ? ?    ?        ?                ?
[19:28] <hwilde> I cannot remount or delete it
[19:28] <delac> scarleo: actually, now that I tried it on my kubuntu (different  computer), I don't think it's bad drivers. It will give the same errors there.
[19:29] <scarleo> delac: Might be something bad with the disk then
[19:31] <scarleo> delac: If you have nothing valuable on it you could try reformat it, but do take a backup of anything you want to save ffirst if possible
[19:31] <pl4sm4> where can I go for help on backtrack related issues?
[19:32] <tjiggi_fo> #backtrack-linux
[19:32] <pl4sm4> tjiggi_fo: i think that is a moderated channel, and i can't send things to the channel.
[19:32] <Curly_Q> Has anyone here used FreeNX?
[19:32] <pl4sm4> i can only listen in
[19:32] <delac_> scarleo: seems I disconnected there
[19:33] <delac_> scarleo: what I was saying, is that I think the disk is goner
[19:33] <Curly_Q> Also has anyone here used:   NoMachineNX?
[19:33] <scarleo> delac_: Yeah, sounds like it, if you get any contact with it you could try to reformat if there is nothing valuable on it
[19:34] <tjiggi_fo> pl4sm4, just ask for voice
[19:34] <scarleo> delac_: there are probably some disk checking tools available but I've never used any of those
[19:34] <delac_> scarleo: well, it was my backup disk, but luckily the data is elsewhere too :)
[19:35] <pl4sm4> tjiggi_fo: oh.. thanks :)
[19:35] <Curly_Q> Delac there is a Windows program that is called:  "Spinrite"    check it out.
[19:35] <delac_> scarleo: now I just gotta get a another backup disk quickly...
[19:35] <acicula> delac_: if its an usb disk try removing the disk and connecting it via sata
[19:36] <Curly_Q> Delac here is the website:   http://www.grc.com/spinrite.htm
[19:36] <akret> can i get the network manager in ubuntu 9.04
[19:36] <scarleo> delac_: there are some results if you google your error, maybe some solution, like this for example: http://openplug.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=206.0
[19:36] <Curly_Q> That software will check your hard drive for anything.
[19:36] <akret> i have ubuntu 10.10
[19:37] <cryptodira> fresh install of 10.04 amd/64 .... all updates made.... neither totem nor vlc will play dvd's from the player.... but will from the HDD.... how can i fix this??
[19:37] <acicula> akret: 9.04 comes with networkmanager as well
[19:38] <acicula> !restricted
[19:38] <acicula> and maybe
[19:38] <Curly_Q> Spinrite will correct all 1's & 0's on your hard drive and then you can install properly any OS.
[19:38] <acicula> !dvd
[19:38] <acicula> ah, check those two wiki pages cryptodira , you need to add a few packages to make dvd playback work
[19:39] <acicula> cryptodira: you may have to set a regioncode on your dvd drive as well(which you can only do a few times), the dvd wiki should cover that
[19:39] <akret> @acicula i am having problems with the ubuntu10.10 network manager... it was going fine with the 9.04
[19:40] <cryptodira> acicula, Thank YOU!
[19:40] <spid3rnet> how no progamming on google
[19:40] <spid3rnet> how no progamming on python
[19:40] <acicula> akret: ah ok,but  you cant mix and match versions between ubuntu versions
[19:40] <spid3rnet> xD
[19:40] <acicula> what problem are you having on 10.10
[19:40] <gyyrog_> when I run ifconfig on the interface I connect to with my vpn I get 10.1.1.23 --> 10.1.1.24 under the tun0 adapter
[19:40] <gyyrog_> what does the  arrow mean?
[19:40] <shmup> so i did an export to my $paths, 4x.. being a derp. so when i echo $paths i see /home/shmup/bin 4x
[19:41] <shmup> i'm trying to see where these are stored. i dont see it in .profile or .bashrc
[19:41] <shmup> google isnt helping. any idea?
[19:41] <niko-nojo> Hi - I've just set up the Evolution mail client with Gmail. It has imported all the filters that I had in Gmail. However, when I get a new email it only appears in the folder when I click on the folder. Anyone got any tips on how I can resolve this ? Do I need to set up new filters again ?
[19:41] <acicula> shmup: /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc, man bashrc and scroll to the end of the man page to list which config files it uses
[19:41] <delac_> scarleo: it's ide, but maybe I could try to plug it directly. I think I still have a spare connector on the mobo. Those other solutions on the other hand seem bit of a long shots...
[19:41] <akret> @acicula  i use mobile broadband ... my cell phone restarts after 15 mins.. cell phone is sony ericsson w200i
[19:42] <acicula> akret: your cell phone reboots?
[19:42] <akret> it goes to the memory mode
[19:42] <acicula> delac_: well you could always try cooling the disk with dry ice if you are not able to access it normally
[19:43] <acicula> akret: dont know what you mean by that
[19:43] <akret> with the nokia n97 it  disconnects
[19:44] <scarleo> delac_: I agree, but maybe better than loosing it, it's up to you :)
[19:44] <skullboy> how do i host a pop3 and stmp server
[19:44] <akret> i think its some cache it uses on phone or something
[19:44] <ihack4fun> Does anyone use their Ipod w/ Ubuntu
[19:45] <ihack4fun> I need to sync and transfer music files
[19:45] <acicula> !ipod
[19:45] <acicula> never done it myself, but it should work
[19:45] <shmup> acicula: i don't see a man for bashrc
[19:45] <acicula> shmup: man bash
[19:46] <cryptodira> acicula, you solved the totem/vlc dvd playing problem!  Thanks Again.
[19:46] <akret> @acicula  i have seen some post people  having  problems on wifi or lan.... there seem to be a major problem in the network manager this time around
[19:47] <acicula> cryptodira: have fun
[19:48] <acicula> akret: i dont know, but its not really clear to me what problem you are experiencing either
[19:48] <crow_> irc://irc.devilirc.org/whiffle

[19:55] <Maarten> Is there a remote desktop protocol to access an ubuntu system that performs a little better then VNC? I'm gonna take a strawl through the depositories, but just wondering if anyone uses something better. Right now I just use the standard remote access feature, and TightVNC from the client side.
[19:55] <everythingWorks> Ive just installed my ubuntu 10.04, but now ive forgotten my password and cant log in! :(
[19:55] <everythingWorks> What can i do so?

[19:57] <everythingWorks> maarten: ive tried around 100 combos yet hihi :P
[19:57] <mang0> newb13 stop repeating your question
[19:57] <acicula> Maarten: there is the XDMCP system, remote X using forwarding(using ssh), RDP or freeNX
[19:57] <KramB> Does Task Manager usually take about 15% of a CPU?  Is that normal.
[19:57] <Zelozelos> newb13 right click. create  launcher?
[19:57] <mang0> If no one can answer it, ask on the forums
[19:57] <Maarten> everythingWorks: Only thing I can think about is logging on with root or another administrative account and use the passwd command to change the password of the user.
[19:58] <vacho> is ubuntu BSD?
[19:58] <acicula> Maarten: there is also the linux terminal system, but i think that uses xdmcp
[19:58] <acicula> vacho: no
[19:58] <everythingWorks> maarten: how can i do that? :)
[19:58] <newb13> Zelozelos, I can't even right click it..?

[19:58] <mang0> newb13 its on the right hand side of the mouse

[19:58] <Maarten> everythingWorks: SSH into the system with a terminal from another machine perhaps.
[19:59] <mang0> so what happens when you try to right click?

[19:59] <acicula> Maarten: dont know, ssh with export works for me

[20:05] <SlickT10> Hey, guys. I installed ubuntu on a temporary laptop, and then moved the harddrive back to the intended laptop. Most everything works fine, but I am having a few problems. Namely screen size, and modem. Is there a way to reconfigure sound?

[20:07] <Nierle> well i just type ssh -f -N -D 0.0.0.0:1080 localhost :)
[20:07] <newb13> yes I can
[20:08] <newb13> Zelozelos, yes I can
[20:08] <Nierle> but that forwards anything
[20:08] <Zelozelos> newb13 ok so navigate to the desktop folder, is there anything in there?
[20:08] <joshua__> can anyone help me format my hard drive?
[20:08] <fr00g> Can anyone tell me why when my volume is muted, it shows three different pictures at times? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9337212/mute1.png  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9337212/mute2.png  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9337212/mute3.png
[20:08] <usr13> joshua__: Sure
[20:08] <Nierle> i want it to work only if the guest asks for foo.com or foo.com:2596
[20:09] <usr13> joshua__: What are you booted into now?
[20:09] <newb13> yes, "spotify" and "spotify.lnk
[20:09] <newb13> "
[20:09] <histo> Nierle: yeah it forwards for only computers on the ssh connection
[20:09] <Nierle> yes
[20:09] <Nierle> that's not the problem
[20:09] <Zelozelos> newb13 do they show on your desktop?
[20:09] <histo> Nierle: the outside world won't get to the forward. I'm not sure I understand you.
[20:09] <mehdi> is wifi diffrent with wireless?
[20:09] <newb13> Zelozelos, no they do not
[20:09] <joshua__> urs13: what do you mean?
[20:10] <histo> Nierle: do you want to lock down ssh ?
[20:10] <usr13> joshua__: What is the reason for formatting the Hard Drive?  Do  you have a new purpose for it?
[20:10] <Nierle> yes
[20:10] <Nierle> in some way
[20:10] <Nierle> :)
[20:10] <joshua__> usr13: putting windows 7 onto it
[20:10] <Nierle> i mean the only request that areto be accepted
[20:10] <histo> Nierle: I would install fail2ban and maybe look at using key based authentication
[20:10] <townes> in gnome-volume-control there is no hardware listed, and output says 'dummy output - stereo' any idea where to begin (sound is not working)
[20:10] <Zelozelos> newb13 ahh ok, have you modified anything as far as the backgrounds/compiz/or anything else that has to do with backgrounds
[20:10] <Nierle> are those to service.com:2596
[20:10] <histo> Nierle: fail2ban bans ips after 3 login attempts
[20:11] <histo> Nierle: I don't understand.
[20:11] <newb13> Zelozelos, nope, just added a new background, but it didnt show before that either
[20:11] <Zelozelos> newb13 ok 1 sec i have to do a little re-capping
[20:11] <usr13> joshua__: This channel is for Ubuntu help.  Not sure what this has to do with ubunu, but basically if you just delete the partitions on it, you'll be good to go and you can do that with fdisk.
[20:11] <newb13> okay thank you ze
[20:11] <leftist> i was buring a ubuntu 10.10. dvd do i want to burn as a file or as contents. it's an iso. i am brain dead right now.

[20:12] <usr13> joshua__: and let's see what you have now.
[20:12] <acicula> leftist: you want to burn the entire iso, not store it as a file

[20:13] <vacho> itaylor57
[20:13] <joshua__> usr13: http://pastebin.com/dYRVmCqT
[20:13] <usr13> joshua__: But basically, if the hard drive you want to format is /dev/sda then issue  command: sudo fdisk /dev/sda  #Type m for help
[20:14] <danharibo> ok, How can I turn off the breadcrumb in Thunar or Nautilus?
[20:14] <acicula> joshua__: usr13 you cant format /dev/sda
[20:14] <vacho> anyone here used webmin on ubuntu? Did it work?
[20:14] <acicula> joshua__: usr13 you will have to create a partition on sda and format that partition
[20:14] <staticsafe> vacho: i do all the time
[20:14] <acicula> vacho: sure its possible, but its not packaged for ubuntu anymore
[20:15] <arand> !webmin | vacho
[20:15] <usr13> joshua__: sudo fdisk /dev/sda ; p ; d ; 5 ; d ; 2 ; d ; 1 ; p ; w ; q
[20:15] <usr13> joshua__: type m for help
[20:15] <vacho> staticsafe: so it works fine for you?
[20:15] <staticsafe> vacho: it does indeed
[20:15] <orudie> can someone please help me? I installed vmware tools and at boot I get error: no such disk , I posted this on vmware forums but i'm not getting any responses http://communities.vmware.com/message/1718892#1718892
[20:15] <trism> danharibo: you can do it temporarily in nautilus with ctrl+L, or permanently by setting the key /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry in gconf-editor
[20:15] <Sansui350A> umm.. webmin works just FINE in Ubuntu/Debian
[20:15] <Sansui350A> lawl @ derp
[20:15] <danharibo> trism: thanks
[20:16] <joshua__> usr13: so what do i need to do?
[20:16] <vacho> ok, I am about to install webmin, should I install apache, mysql php manually myself or that is handles by webmin?
[20:16] <usr13> acicula:  You are correct, you can only format a partition.  But he does not need to format anything, just needs to delete the partitions.
[20:16] <mithridates> how can I edit win registry when I'm in ubuntu?
[20:16] <rhada> I ceated a sym link with ln 0s how do I delete a smy link?
[20:16] <usr13> joshua__: sudo fdisk /dev/sda ; p ; d ; 5 ; d ; 2 ; d ; 1 ; p ; w ; q
[20:16] <joshua__> usr13: then?
[20:17] <Sansui350A> vacho, I just install webmin via gdebi on the cli.. and it just works
[20:17] <Sansui350A> I'm using it on a 10.10 server atm
[20:17] <acicula> usr13: ah ok, seems i misunderstood it then
[20:17] <usr13> joshua__: Open a terminal window.  Type command: sudo fdisk /dev/sda   #When you have that done let me know and I'll give you next command.
[20:17] <staticsafe> vacho: you can install LAMP yourself, or when you install webmin, you can choose to install the server stuff from there.
[20:17] <keplenk> mcb_2: thanks for the flash video downloader .. do you know any such thing in chrome?
[20:17] <vacho> staticsafe: maybe i'll let webmin install lamp then.. seems better?
[20:17] <vacho>  
[20:17] <joshua__> usr13, ok
[20:17] <Paddy_NI> What was the name of that app Jono Bacon made to show people 'Quickly' ... it came with many examples
[20:18] <staticsafe> vacho: sure
[20:18] <staticsafe> brb
[20:18] <rhada> i created a smy link with ln -s how do I delete a smy link?
[20:18] <vacho> I switched to centos just for webmin and centos sucks... the default install is very unoptimized
[20:18] <usr13> joshua__: see my private message
[20:18] <acicula> rhada: unlink
[20:18] <Paddy_NI> I cannot find it any where.. I do believe it needed a package called "python-snippets" or something
[20:19] <Zelozelos> newb13 ok try this, alt+f2 type gconf-editor, navigate to desktop/gnome/background, deselect the draw_background check, do you see them now
[20:19] <Paddy_NI> It actually came out not long after lernid
[20:19] <newb13> one minute Zelozelos
[20:20] <rhada> aciula: ok so the command starts with unlink -s? then the path
[20:20] <newb13> Zelozelos, nothing comes up when i press alt+f2
[20:20] <Aerosonic> hey guys
[20:21] <Zelozelos> newb13 ahh ok do you see any window boarders/headers?
[20:21] <acicula> rhada:  just unlink file
[20:21] <townes> pulseaudio --start = E: main.c: Daemon startup failed. ?
[20:21] <newb13> no.. Zelozelos
[20:22] <rhada> aciculs the sym link i want to unlink is ln -s echolot.html index.html
[20:22] <Zelozelos> newb13  ahhh ok now things are making a little more sense. you need to restart metacity  the command is metacity -restart i think
[20:23] <Pici> Zelozelos: metacity --replace
[20:23] <Zelozelos> ahh yep thats it
[20:23] <newb13> Zelozelos, "metacity: Unknown option -restart"
[20:23] <B4ckBOne> how do i permanently change the rights of my laptops gsensor device?
[20:23] <rhada> acicula: wrong nick just not ok the smy link I want to unlink is ln -s echolot.html index.html
[20:24] <Zelozelos> newb13 hmmm...now using metacity...what ubuntu r u using again?
[20:24] <Zelozelos> **not using
[20:24] <newb13> Zelozelos, 9.10 - I googled and it was "metacity &", I did that and it said "unknown@ubuntu:~$ Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager"
[20:24] <rhada> acicula: so the command would be unlink echolot.html index.html ?
[20:24] <HelloWorld> Is there an SVN server packaged with either Desktop or Server?  Or just add it seperately?
[20:25] <Zelozelos> ohhh nvm the command is metacity --replace   not restart sorry its been a while since ive had this issue
[20:25] <acicula> rhada: just the symlink, look at the man page
[20:25] <BajK> :O just noticed, now unix time begins with 13xxx since march 13 :O
[20:25] <Zelozelos> newb13  ohhh nvm the command is metacity --replace   not restart sorry its been a while since ive had this issue

[20:34] <ejv> newb13: tsclient
[20:35] <Zelozelos> newb13 ummm...very strange i guess this one's over my head...only other suggestion i have is to make a new user account and login to it n see if its working correctly--this will make a brand new out-of-the-box account...if it works correctly on the new account its an option/config error if not...i have no idea what to do from there
[20:35] <newb13> okay thanks zeleftikam[S67]

[20:42] <Curly_Q> Newb13 have you tried UltraVNC it works with X11VNC. Make sure you set up a password with Linux.
[20:42] <optimist_> hello world!
[20:43] <newb13> Curly_Q, I don't get it now. X11VNC? What is that
[20:43] <Curly_Q> Newb13 also are you trying to use VNC from Windows to Linux or Linux to Linux?
[20:43] <newb13> From linux to linux Curly_Q
[20:43] <Curly_Q> Ok.
[20:44] <Curly_Q> If you open up a terminal you can see if your Linux distro has x11vnc but typing in   sudo x11vnc
[20:44] <newb13> Curly_Q, I installed x11vnc now
[20:44] <newb13> I want a graphical interface like UltraVNC On windows.
[20:44] <townes> no sound; haven't recently installed or updated anything. in volume control, no hardware is shown
[20:44] <tobiassjosten> Whichever domain I try to resolve, always get an IP. Even fake domains. Any ideas what could cause this?
[20:45] <townes> googling at the moment but I'm hitting a wall
[20:45] <moRph> exit
[20:45] <tobiassjosten> Dig shows me the domains doesn't have any pointers. And I'm getting a new IP for the same domain each time I try and resolve it.
[20:45] <Curly_Q> Newb13 you can try this:    sudo apt-get install vncviewer.
[20:46] <Curly_Q> Without the period at the end of the sentence.
[20:46]  * townes facepalms
[20:47] <newb13> Curly_Q, I installed it. It says VNC Server: I put in my VPS IP, pressed Enter and it just dissapeared.
[20:47] <newb13> Curly_Q: vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused
[20:47] <newb13> Unable to connect to VNC serve
[20:48] <Kartagis> how can I check what my wireless card's chipset is?
[20:48] <ccta-server> How do you enable an application to pass through firestarter UDP
[20:48] <Curly_Q> Make sure you do an aptitude update first.
[20:49] <dru__> HEy any1 there who could help with sound quality problems on an acer laptop?
[20:49] <orudie> can anyone help me check if my disk is properly mounted ?
[20:49] <newb13> Curly_Q, Can you please tell me how to do that? I am completely new to Ubuntu
[20:49] <orudie> i get error: disk not found, when ubuntu server is booting
[20:49] <Kartagis> orudie, mount
[20:49] <Curly_Q> Also do:     sudo apt-get update
[20:50] <Kartagis> how can I check what my wireless card's chipset is?
[20:50] <Curly_Q> Also sudo aptitude update before sudo apt-getting anything.
[20:50] <dru__> HEy any1 there who could help with sound quality problems on an acer laptop??
[20:51] <newb13> Curly_Q, I did sudo aptitude update, it says "aptitude: command not found"
[20:51] <Curly_Q> That will ensure that you have the right dependencies.
[20:51] <newb13> Curly_Q, Okay I did sudo apt-get update, and now?
[20:52] <newb13> How do I get the VNC server IP?
[20:52] <Curly_Q> Newb13 type this command:     sudo apt-get install aptitude
[20:52] <llutz> Curly_Q: there is no need to install aptitude
[20:52] <Primaris> Hi all. I've got a Toshiba Satellite L335-S7915 running a freshly-updated copy of Ubuntu 10.10; it has a SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad listed on it, but no matter what I do, it will not accept any input from the pad. I've tried the DKMS drivers that were listed on the support site, but to no avail. I've checked my settings in System --> Mouse --> Touchpad, and everything is clean so far as I can tell. Any ideas? Thanks!

[20:54] <newb13> Curly_Q, I am supposed to put in my computers IP? When i run vncviewer, it just says "Vnc server:" and I am supposed to put in my own IP or what

[20:57] <daniel> hello is there a tasker(records what i do with my mouse and keyboard and replays it over and over) like program for ubuntu
[20:57] <guntbert> !here | raven
[20:58] <mithridates> how can I disable "executable bit" message and run .exe files in ubuntu?
[20:59] <Chr|s> !putty
[20:59] <raven> gpodder gives me this window again and again: http://picpaste.com/2cd58e8650c5df8006b52d82a27d9c64.png how to repair?
[20:59] <Primaris> Mithridates: Right-click the file and check its properties; there's a box on whether or not it is 'executable'. Check it and you should be good to go.
[21:00] <format120> hey, post 2 in this forum says that a text file containing every possible combination of a 10 letter string will be 2.1tb, is that a good estamation?
[21:00] <format120> http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/beginners-forum/1934-password-generator-crunch.html
[21:00] <daniel> is there a macro program for ubuntu?
[21:00] <mithridates> Primaris: I can see the check box, but when I click on that it changes it by itself just after my click
[21:01] <mithridates> Primaris: it doesn't let me to change it
[21:02] <Primaris> Mithridates: Is anything else working with that file at the moment? It may be holding that property until whatever else is working with it is released.
[21:02] <mithridates> Primaris: absolutely not, it's in my windows partition
[21:02] <llutz> format120: 10 letter? only [a-zA-Z] or from what pool?
[21:03] <Chr|s> any alternatives other than putty that actually works?
[21:03] <format120> A-G 0-9
[21:03] <format120> A-G 0-9 llutz
[21:03] <Primaris> Mithridates: What sort of file is this? I know you said it was an executable, but what exactly is the program? Curious what would be working with it or holding that property. Have you tried installing said program through WINE?
[21:04] <mithridates> Primaris: regedit.exe, I have to edit my windows registry from ubuntu, can u give me an advice for that
[21:04] <llutz> format120: 17^10Byte
[21:05] <salvatore6420> hello everybody
[21:05] <BajK> stupid pulse audio -.-
[21:05] <salvatore6420> anyone can help me with processing?
[21:05] <DJones> Chr|s: Have a look a puttytray its a slightly extended version of putty
[21:05] <Primaris> Mithridates: There are apps out there to edit the Windows registry without utilizing Windows apps, and disturbing a Windows install in any way tends to make the entire Windows install more temperamental than it already is. Try Googling a registry editor that works in Linux!
[21:05] <BajK> i cannot just if theres a nice song plug in my headset and turn full up
[21:05] <format120> what does that meen? llutz?
[21:05] <daniel> does anyone know if there is a program like tasker for ubuntu
[21:05] <BajK> no, stupid pulse audio mess interferes and says "f**k you you will not use your headset"
[21:05] <Chr|s> DJones: no I havent is it in the repos?
[21:06] <DJones> Chr|s: Ah, no sorry, I thought you were looking for an ssh client for windows
[21:06] <llutz> format120: you've 17^10 possible combinations if none of those character appears more than once in the string
[21:06] <salvatore6420> hi there anybody knows how to run processing?
[21:06] <mithridates> Primaris: it's about 4 hours that I'm looking for, I don't have blank cd or dvd to make a bootable cd, so I need to edit it in ubuntu :(
[21:06] <Chr|s> DJones: nope, for some reason putty doesn't copy and paste for me for some rason i have no idea
[21:07] <format120> how many gigs would that be? by estamate llutz?
[21:07] <llutz> format120: ~2.1TB as you said
[21:07] <format120> ok, how did you find it?
[21:08] <Gatorade> hi

[21:09] <betzi__> anyone knows the issue why  natty hangs on startup and boots after approx 1 min or 2?
[21:09] <BajK> okay, the old trick that helps people in troubles with their sound device has to be applied again: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio and your problems are gone :)
[21:10] <overclucker> salvatore6420: you mean java processing?
[21:10] <Primaris> Mithridates: I take it you *DO* have WINE installed, yes? Have you tried using WINE's built-in registry editor, and pointing it over to the Windows partition's hives?
[21:10] <zvacet> betzi__: join #ubuntu+1
[21:10] <daniel> does anyone know a tasker replacement for ubuntu

[21:12] <Primaris> Mithridates: Please do try telling WINE's version of the registry editor to load the hives on the Windows partition; it's been a while since I last used it and WINE isn't on this machine yet, so I can't lead you through anything personally.
[21:12] <mithridates> Primaris: Wow, it has an import/export option
[21:13] <mithridates> Primaris: I guess I got it, tnx man alot !

[21:55] <mickster04> skullboy: install it:p
[21:55] <skullboy> mickster: not helping
[21:56] <mickster04> skullboy: well do you mean snmp?
[21:56] <Aginor> mickster04, he probably means smtp server
[21:56] <Aginor> he wants to send and receive mail for a domain
[21:56] <mickster04> Aginor: yeah the post one is what i meant :p
[21:57] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: Pick an MTA and install it.
[21:57] <mickster04> skullboy: i used exim4
[21:57] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: sendmail, postfix, exim, there are plenty of others
[21:57] <skullboy> mickster: yes i do
[21:57] <Kre10s_> when building a bridge does it matter if the members of that bridge are controlled by the NetworkManager?
[21:57] <mickster04> skullboy: uhm so what's the issue? your questions was very vague
[21:57] <Aginor> soul, are you connecting to the right host and to the right port?
 but is that hosting on antoher server or puting up my own

[21:59] <bastidrazor> soul: add the hostname to /etc/hosts

[22:00] <Logan_> mjathree: We do not support Ubuntu derivatives in this channel.  I will try to find the appropriate channel for you.
[22:00] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: all of the programs I mentioned are exactly that.  You run it on your server you point your domain to your box, you add your own users.
[22:00] <Logan_> oops
[22:00] <Logan_> mjhszig: see above
 thanks
[22:00] <Logan_> mjhszig: found it - it's #pinguyos

[22:02] <Br0sephStalin> Alright

[22:03] <Rt666-1> hello
[22:03] <Rt666-1> i am from quebec
[22:03] <mickster04> [TK]D-Fender: that will probably be against ToS
[22:03] <soul> Aginor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581826/
[22:03] <Aginor> skullboy, not a good idea at home
[22:03] <Br0sephStalin> anybody
[22:03] <mickster04> Rt666-1: that's ok, we help everyone we can around here
[22:03] <[TK]D-Fender> mickster04: We'll burn that bridge when we get to it, k? ;)
[22:03] <Br0sephStalin> Can help me with my problem?
[22:03] <omid> hi.i have windows 7 installed on my thinkpad along with an ubuntu full instalition and a kubuntu instalition with wubi. one hour ago i installed open suse 11.4 on a seprate drive and when the setup was about to finish it shows errors with the grub and boot loader and i clicked cancel.now the drive in which i installed open suse contains the suse files but i can see it nowhere in the boot options.
[22:04] <Rt666-1> well this program freeze when i open the channels list
[22:04] <Rt666-1> dam program
[22:04] <skullboy> Aginor: why
[22:04] <Rt666-1> windows all versions sucks! long live LINUX
[22:04] <mickster04> skullboy: why do you want to do that? it sounds way excessive
[22:04] <Br0sephStalin> Logan, how do i private message you
[22:04] <mickster04> omid: it didn't install correctly that's why
[22:05] <mickster04> !pm | Br0sephStalin
[22:05] <france> hi, i want install virtualbox, what is the package?
[22:05] <acicula> omid: have suse put its bootloader on its own partition, then include it in your main bootloader which you can probably do by just running update-grub
[22:05] <dman777> i am using kde. how can i keep the programs in my title bar sperated by the desktop number they are on? rather than all combined
[22:05] <Br0sephStalin> I asked my question
[22:05] <Br0sephStalin> no answer
[22:05] <Aginor> skullboy, dynamic ips, breach of ToS for your home internet connection, lack of reverse lookups for your domain
[22:05] <skullboy> mickster04: so i dont have to relie on my isp to provide internet access and they dont get any info off my internet activity and yes i do use proxies
[22:06] <bastidrazor> france: virtualbox-ose
[22:06] <france> bastidrazor, thank
[22:06] <Br0sephStalin> All this stuff ( my music) filled my panel and now i cant access my applications, places or system. how do i create a new panel or get around this?
[22:06] <omid> mickster04 suse installed completely and in final minutes it shows errors regarding the grub.
[22:06] <mickster04> omid: hence it didn't install properly
[22:06] <bastidrazor> france: you're welcome
[22:06] <Aginor> soul, and everything worked nicely before you changed the port?
[22:06] <omid> acicula how can i do su in ubuntu.i'm new to linux
[22:06] <mickster04> !panels | Br0sephStalin
[22:07] <Aginor> !sudo | omid
[22:07] <bastidrazor> !sudo | omid
[22:07] <deek0146> Hey
[22:07] <soul> Aginore: yes it did.... are my settings right? Look here... http://paste.ubuntu.com/581828/
[22:07] <skullboy> Aginor: yes i know i dont want to have reverse look ups on me to track my location
[22:07] <bastidrazor> Aginor: great minds must think alike.
[22:07] <Aginor> bastidrazor, indeed :D
[22:07] <deek0146> I'm halfway through a distro upgrade (from 10.04 to 10.10) and I have run out of space on /boot, what should I do? Its halfway through installing packages so I don't think i could remove the old kernal images right now
[22:07] <Br0sephStalin> "gnome-pane: no process found
[22:07] <zen_cat> Hey, I've got a mail server with postfix, dovecot & squirrelmail - does anyone know how I would go about setting up a vacation autoresponder? Found some stuff on google, but it seems mostly to be homebrew solutions for what should be a well trodden path.
[22:08] <mickster04> Br0sephStalin: copy the l too?
[22:08] <mickster04> zen_cat: does squirrel not have it already?
[22:08] <ericy> Br0sephStalin: That sounds like a problem I had in Ubuntu 9.04, when I was playing with screen resolutions; the panel icons disappeared of the edge of the screen, leaving me  no 'controls'!
[22:08] <Br0sephStalin> I'm an idiot
[22:08] <Br0sephStalin> thank you very much
[22:08] <france> bastidrazor, thank, but i write feew words to english
[22:09] <skullboy> Aginor: reverse look up is when they track you right
[22:09] <Aginor> soul, it looks fine to me
[22:09] <Mac40DO> Hi! How can I list every available version of a package?
[22:09] <Mac40DO> Want to da a downgrade
[22:09] <Aginor> skullboy, no, have a look at www.endace.com, that's how they can track you if they really want to
[22:09] <soul> Aginor: hmmm.... guess I am gonna play it with it more and see what I can do haha, thanks for ur help though :)
[22:09] <zen_cat> mickster04: It appears not. There are a couple of plugins that do it, but they refer to getting your autoresponse service working before setting up the plugin, so I'm not sure if they are complete solutions by themselves.
[22:10] <acicula> omid: better to just familiarize yourself a bit on how grub works, the ubuntu grub and multiboot pages are a good start
[22:10] <sinisterstuf> what's the channel for linux audio users?
[22:10] <soul> Aginor: if I get it fixed then I will say how I fixed it...
[22:10] <mickster04> sinisterstuf: well we all use audio on linux? music etc ? :p
[22:10] <Aginor> soul, sorry about not being able to help. I read an old mailing list post that hinted at the fact that it might be useful to regenerate your server key, but besides from that I have no ideas
[22:10] <omid> thank you guys.i'm starting to use ubuntu more and more.but i wanted to give KDE a try and i didnt liked kubuntu.so i installed suse.do you think editing the grub may fix the problem or i most install suse again ?
[22:10] <[TK]D-Fender> [18:05]	<skullboy>	mickster04: so i dont have to relie on my isp to provide internet access and they dont get any info off my internet activity and yes i do use proxies <- You are getting upstream service from SOMEONE
[22:10] <Aginor> soul, that'd be great
[22:11] <bastidrazor> france: #ubuntu-fr may be a better channel for you.
[22:11] <skullboy> Aginor: how do i make it impossible to be traced
[22:11] <sinisterstuf> mickster04: there is an actual channel, for people doing audio production and stuff
[22:11] <soul> Aginor: I will try that and report back... not giving up
[22:11] <mickster04> sinisterstuf: oh i c, i doubt it, it depends what your problems are?
[22:11] <Aginor> skullboy, you can't while sending your packets to someone
[22:11] <bastidrazor> france: or #ubuntu-it for italy
[22:12] <mickster04> skullboy: remove the cable from the computer
[22:12] <skullboy> Aginor: packet spoofing how do i go about that
[22:12] <sinisterstuf> mickster04: I've been there before but I can't find the channel
[22:12] <Aginor> skullboy, packet spoofing means that your data would never actually reach you
[22:12] <acicula> omid: you can either boot the suse kernel/initrd directly from the ubuntu bootloader, or you have to use the suse boot disk/livecd/whatever  to boot the suse installation
[22:12] <mickster04> sinisterstuf: so what are your issues, are they with ubuntu or something else?
[22:12] <Aginor> skullboy, it's less hassle to follow mickster04's suggestion
[22:12] <soul> Aginor: how would I add a host to the add host file? by just typing the IP in the box?
[22:13] <skullboy> Aginor: to remove the cable???
[22:13] <battlehands> hello, all
[22:13] <Aginor> soul, which host file? hosts.allow and hosts.deny? if your hosts.deny is empty you don't need to bother with hosts.allow
[22:13] <carlos82> Why is my runlevel 2? should not be 5?
[22:13] <mickster04> skullboy: the internet is not private, or secretive beyond the normal security stuff yoiu can do. there is no way to make anything untraceable, merely very difficult. one has to ask what are you doing that is so important that you keep under wraps
[22:13] <iceroot> !runlevel | carlos82
[22:13] <soul> Aginor: oh okay
[22:13] <battlehands> Does anyone here use SSH through Ubuntu?
[22:13] <smw> carlos82, this is debian based, not redhat
[22:14] <smw> battlehands, yep
[22:14] <sinisterstuf> mickster04: I don't have issues but somebody else does, and like my previous issues, they are technical and specific to audio but not so much specific to ubuntu, although I do use ubuntu
[22:14] <iceroot> battlehands: yes, you have a real question?
[22:14] <mickster04> battlehands: yes
[22:14] <smw> !anyone | battlehands
[22:14] <dru__> I have the als base open on terminal how do i save and close???
[22:14] <bastidrazor> battlehands: feel free to state your original issue instead of making people guess and answer meaningless questions :)
[22:14] <jrn_a> what are these kinds of notations \u0049 for (special) chars / how are those called
[22:14] <skullboy> Aginor: how do i spoof the packets
[22:14] <acicula> jrn_a: unicode
[22:14] <battlehands> iceroot, I havent used the login before... and Im just a little lost on how to get started.
[22:14] <Aginor> skullboy, I am not going to help you perform malicious acts
[22:14] <omid> acicula when i have a bad experience in installing suse.and i have paid for my windows so i dont want to damage it.after i installed suse my windows needed system repair to boot.i dont know why but somehow i'm afraid to lose my windows data.i'm a newbie
[22:15] <battlehands> bastidrazor, thanks
[22:15] <snowed> When i use update-grub there will not add windows to boot loader. Windows is on other HDD than ubuntu. Can someone give me solution
[22:15] <jrn_a> isn't unicode known for that it accepts most special chars without special notation
[22:15] <dru__> I have the als base open on terminal how do i save and close?????
[22:15] <soul> Aginor... I'm doing the right switch and syntax though right? "ssh -p 1369 192.168.0.66" its Lucid distro too, should of said that at first
[22:15] <skullboy> Aginor: i dont plan to use this for illeagle perposes
[22:15] <smw> battlehands, what is your goal?
[22:15] <acicula> omid: the changes are only made to the boot sequence, not to the data, so unless you repartition your windows volume your data will be there
[22:16] <mickster04> skullboy: then why are you hiding?
[22:16] <bastidrazor> battlehands: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal  may help you get started
[22:16] <battlehands> smw, to learn how to use it
[22:16] <mickster04> battlehands: ssh != terminal
[22:16] <smw> battlehands, are you connecting to a remote machine?
[22:16] <snowed>  When i use update-grub there will not add windows to boot loader. Windows is on other HDD than ubuntu. Can someone give me solution
[22:16] <skullboy> mickster04: documents i dont want anyone to get my hands on
[22:16] <Aginor> skullboy, A) you don't know enough about how networks know what you're asking for. B) it wouldn't help you anyway. C) use encryption, security through obscurity is not security
[22:16] <soul> skullboy: Google and youtube help great
[22:16] <acicula> omid: best to use the windows recovery cd then to fix the window installation and then reinstall ubuntu?
[22:17] <mickster04> skullboy: well don't put them on the net?
[22:17] <Aginor> mickster04, I don't have a problem with him liking his privacy, I think everyone is entitled to privacy
[22:17] <battlehands> 1 moment
[22:17] <battlehands> on phone with tech support form my hosting
[22:17] <acicula> snowed: its typically caused by windows not being shutdown properly, reboot to windows, make sure its shutdown properly and try to rerun update-grub
[22:18] <vacho> im getting a node at linode.com .. should I go with ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit? I will be using 512mb ram.
[22:18] <acicula> vacho: either is fine
[22:18] <shell> hola
[22:18] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: You started from wanting to install a mail server, to becoming an ISP, from becoming independent of any upstream providers service, to spoofing (When is this NOT malicious?).  You seem to be trying to go from zero to "hacker god" in 0 steps and asking questions that you believe will be answered entirely in IRC in a GUI-happy distro channel.  You should re-evaluate your goals & methods
[22:18] <smw> hi shell
[22:18] <dru__> heyy cmon how do i close the alsa base and save?????
[22:18] <vacho> acicula: what about version? 10.04 OR 10.10 ??
[22:18] <dru__> how hard of a Q is it?
[22:19] <bastidrazor> dru__: its vague to say the least.
[22:19] <ericy> dru__: What is " als base "?
[22:19] <omid> acicula. right now both ubuntu and windows works fine.but i dont see a suse option in the grub.thats the only problem i have.during suse instalition i gave it a dedicated ntfs partition to format to ext4 and install suse. i didnt see it a treat to my ubuntu and windows instalition which where using seprate partitions.
[22:19] <mickster04> dru__: have you read up on the doco that came with it?
[22:19] <dru__> alsa
[22:19] <acicula> vacho: thats a personal choice pick lts or the latest release
[22:19] <snowed> acicula: windows was shuted down properly . Since i installed ubuntu few days ago i cant get in to windows.
[22:19] <ericy> dru__: What is " alsa base "?
[22:19] <dru__> yeah it says nuthing how to close just how to open and what to write in it
[22:19] <smw> dru__, what do you mean close alsa base and save?
[22:19] <vacho> 256 swap or 512? thats my last question
[22:19] <dru__> itetc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[22:19] <smw> dru__, what says that?
[22:20] <dru__> it doesnt say anything it just says to open and what to type in
[22:20] <smw> dru__, you need to give the full context of what you are doing.
[22:20] <acicula> !multiboot | omid
[22:20] <dru__> and i have no idea what to do after
[22:20] <smw> dru__, what is it?
[22:20] <smw> dru__, what is the guide you are reading from?
[22:20] <acicula> !dualboot | omid
[22:20] <dru__> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[22:20] <dru__> thats what Im doing
[22:21] <smw> dru__, ctrl x
[22:21] <dru__> thx
[22:21] <liam> Hey, can  someone help me with Wine HQ, I've installed it to run exe's and when I try and use it in terminal it just says cannot find the file
[22:21] <smw>   dru__ next time you come, tell the exact command you typed in, the guide you are following, and what you are trying to do.
[22:22] <omid> acicula by the way. do you see the wubie installer a good solution to trying kubuntu , xubuntu etc? i frequently need system repair and when i'm in kubuntu i think somehow it crashes too often.
[22:22] <ericy> dru__: " alsa base "? I have no idea, I can't picture what you are doing? Describe the window or application that you are running?
 so how about vnc injecting
[22:22] <acicula> omid: its pretty terrible, best to just install ubuntu on a plain partition
[22:22] <battlehands> So I have SSH setup with my hosting provider, but Im not sure how to use SSH through Ubuntu to login and move files around.
[22:22] <dru__> Logan your guide led me from poor sound qulity to no sound at all
[22:22] <omid> thank you ubottu.i'll read'em
[22:23] <acicula> omid: also you do not have to reinstall ubuntu to try kubuntu,xubuntu
[22:23] <Psydoll> Excuse me, I use ubuntu and I would like to know how to mount an Iso at the command line?
[22:23] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: Again, how is this not "malicious"?
[22:23] <smw> Psychoholic, mount -o loop iso /path/to/mnt/point
[22:23] <sharbour> Battlehands, from the command line you can use sftp
[22:23] <liam> Hey, can someone help me with Wine HQ, I've installed it to run exe's and when I try and use it in terminal it just says cannot find the file
[22:24] <sharbour> if you have a gui installed, you can use something like Filezilla
[22:24] <acicula> omid: as these are all the same, you can install these environments by installing the ubuntu-desktop,xubuntu-desktop, and kubuntu-desktop packages and just select the environment that you want at the login prompt
[22:24] <bubblegummybear> !wine | liam
 well if i remotely send the packets from another location then it would appear he is sending them
[22:24] <Psydoll> sudo mount /path/to/iso -o loop /place/to/mount
[22:24] <omid> acicula. when i asked guys in iranian ubuntu irc channel they said that ubuntu is good but kubuntu isnt as good as suse in KDE.that's why i downloaded suse
[22:24] <Psydoll> im trying to do that but it seems there is a problem
[22:24] <battlehands> !ssh
[22:24] <bubblegummybear> skullboy: take your hacking attempts elsewhere
[22:24] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: then set up a proxy on that machine
 know any good hacking channels
[22:25] <bubblegummybear> skullboy: no
[22:25] <smw> Psydoll, first of all, use my name in every msg directed to me. Second, post an error please :-)
[22:25] <acicula> omid: i havent tried suse in awhile, but you have to realize only one linux installation can manage the bootloader, if you install more distrivbutions you will have to chainload them or manually add them to the initial bootloader.
[22:25] <smw> battlehands, are you on linux or windows?
[22:25] <Psydoll> skullboy your computer is probably called yourname@ubuntu and your going hacking lol!
[22:25] <battlehands> battlehands, linux.
[22:25] <battlehands> smw, Im reading the ubuntu help page on SSH
[22:25] <Psydoll> smw thank you i will
[22:26] <bubblegummybear> skullboy's from Canada apparently
[22:26] <smw> battlehands, are you on windows or ubuntu?
[22:26] <omid> in suse i could change the bootloader with Yast. is there something like yast in ubuntu?
[22:26] <battlehands> smw, ubuntu
[22:26] <Psydoll> i did a whois on him it he has the freenode vhost
[22:26] <AgentTeddie> how do I reset the Gnome panel, there is an error with it and i forgot the command
[22:26] <bubblegummybear> lol!
[22:26] <acicula> !resetgpanel
[22:27] <bubblegummybear> !panels
[22:27] <Psydoll> smw basically im confused i have a .exe file instead that i need to run just run it in wine? and if i have an iso even if i mount it im unsure as to how to access it and use it
[22:27] <dru__> Can any1 help me with this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto Im strugling to find my model
[22:27] <smw> battlehands, if you want to transfer files, open the file browser and go to sftp://the-host/
[22:27] <omid> acicula i can just see lubuntu environment in ubuntu software center.how could i have KDE or XFCe in ubuntu? i want to switch between Gnome and KDE when i wanted to.and most people say that KDE takes a lot of space while my ubuntu system drive has only capacity of 25 gb
[22:27] <AgentTeddie> thanks guys! got it, for somereason my shutdown button was all garbled and now its fine...
[22:28] <battlehands> smw, Im setting up my desktop as the ssh server atm
[22:28] <acicula> omid: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop
[22:28] <smw> omid, "alot" is relative. It takes less than 3 GB
[22:29] <AgentTeddie> Everytime I boot up, I get this message before I get to my login screen, "EDID Checksum Invalid, Remainder is 22." What does that mean
[22:29] <acicula> dru__: what laptop do you have, also paste output from lspci | grep Audio
[22:29] <smw> Psydoll, yes, you just run it in wine. However, I highly suggest against this. Using wine is not easy.
 having both KDE and Gnome installed dosnt have any effect on performance and something like that?
[22:29] <soul> Aignor: I got it fixed... you are gonna laugh when I tell you how
[22:30] <smw> omid, not on performance.
[22:30] <Psydoll> smw its a programme with a gui how hard could it be?
[22:30] <dru__> acer 5738 zg I dunno what lspci is
[22:30] <smw> omid, just disk space and clutter. :-)
[22:30] <soul> Aignor: all I did was....... REBOOT hahaha, thank you for your help though, you helped me learn some new commands to trouble shoot
[22:30] <smw> Psydoll, what is a program with a gui?
[22:30] <Psydoll> smw surely you cant use an iso in wine after its mounted?
[22:30] <liam> I'm looking through the instructions for Wine and one of the instructions is "Open Terminal, and cd into the directory where the .exe is" What does it mean by cd?
[22:30] <acicula> dru__: you can type it in a console, gives a aline of output telling you what audio hw youhav
[22:31] <dru__> acicula,  please be more precise Im novice
[22:31] <Psydoll> smw what i mean is it has boxes to configure and check its not command line driven is wine is it?
[22:31] <vacho> usr/sbin/adduser
[22:31] <vacho> adduser: The group `admin' already exists.
[22:31] <vacho> wtf ??
[22:31] <Psydoll> smw i actually dont have wine, when i type sudo apt-get Wine i get a bus error?
[22:32] <smw> Psydoll, sudo apt-get install wine?
[22:32] <acicula> dru__: nvm, your audio driver is called snd_hda_intel
[22:32] <Psydoll> lowercase let me try it again
[22:32] <liam> I'm looking through the instructions for Wine and one of the instructions is "Open Terminal, and cd into the directory where the .exe is" What does it mean by cd?
[22:32] <Psydoll> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get wine
[22:32] <Psydoll> E: Invalid operation wine
[22:32] <Psydoll> smw
[22:32] <acicula> Psydoll: install
[22:33] <Psydoll> ofC!
[22:33] <Psydoll> sudo apt-get install wine
[22:33] <Psydoll> let me try
[22:33] <dru__> So i do type in options snd-hda-intel model=snd_hda_intel into the alsa-base?
[22:33] <battlehands> smw, how do I login to my SSHd (desktop) from my laptop?  (both running ubuntu)
[22:33] <Psydoll> smw
[22:33] <Psydoll> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install wine
[22:33] <Psydoll> Bus error (core dumped). 0%
[22:33] <Psydoll> i knew i tried them all lol!
[22:33] <acicula> dru__: that i dont know, you dont normally need to specify that. what are you trying to do?
[22:33] <omid> thank you <smw> and <acicula> . you helped me so much. i'll try what you said
[22:33] <smw> Psydoll, I have no idea
[22:33] <dru__> go to the link
[22:34] <acicula> Psydoll: you may have bigger problems with errors like that
[22:34] <smw> Psydoll, that is bad
[22:34] <dru__> and see the part where i need to type in the model
[22:34] <acicula> dru__: i did, doesnt tell me anything about what you are doing
[22:34] <dru__> Im not sure which model I need to type in
[22:34] <Psydoll> smw acicula im running of a persistent usb
[22:34] <dru__> Im having sound qulity problems with my laptop
[22:34] <Psydoll> i dont know if thats causing
[22:34] <liam> I'm looking through the instructions for Wine and one of the instructions is "Open Terminal, and cd into the directory where the .exe is" What does it mean by cd?
[22:34] <acicula> Psydoll: errors like that ussually mean hardware problems
[22:35] <smw> battlehands, ssh user@host
[22:35] <Psydoll> acicula, everything is fine here
[22:35] <smw> battlehands, that easy
[22:35] <acicula> dru__: what is the real problem you are trying to solve?
[22:35] <vacho> how do I remove a group in ubuntu????
[22:35] <dru__> Im having sound qulity problems
[22:36] <battlehands> smw,  it said that it could not resolve the host. name or service not known
[22:36] <liam> I'm looking through the instructions for Wine and one of the instructions is "Open Terminal, and cd into the directory where the .exe is" What does it mean by cd?
[22:36] <crow_> hi
[22:36] <cosmo_> I cant figure out what I have set wrong, the windows machines on my home network can see me and the folders I shared but when they try to access them they get the message "Not accessible Might not have permission"
[22:36] <Psydoll> smw can you recommend a small programme that i can try installing to see if other programs work?
[22:36] <earthmeLon> In ubuntu, I can open Startup Applications to add an application to start at boot.  In Xubuntu, however, I am unable to find 'Startup Applications' or anything of the like.  Any suggestions?
[22:36] <battlehands> psydoll, scilab
[22:36] <Psydoll> scilab?
[22:36] <Psydoll> kk
[22:36] <battlehands> Psydoll, sudo apt-get scilab
[22:37] <battlehands> Psydoll, sudo apt-get install scilab
[22:37] <ericy> liam: cd is a command, which changes directory.
[22:37] <AgentTeddie_> .
[22:37] <Psydoll> yeah im trying it
[22:37] <liam> ericy: how do I use cd?
[22:37] <Psydoll> got the same error
[22:38] <dru__> model basic works
[22:38] <alfio> aa
[22:39] <ericy> Open a terminal window (Accessories), and "cd directory"
[22:39] <ericy> liam: Open a terminal window (Accessories), and "cd directory"
[22:39] <battlehands> Can someone help me configure my openssh server file?
[22:39] <acicula> dru__: model refers to the laptop i think, so acer ? the wiki links to a thread with a list on models
[22:40] <dru__> acicula,  cant find my model
[22:40] <liam> Ericy: got it, thanks.
[22:40] <smw> battlehands, why do you want to do that?
[22:40] <acicula> dru__: dunno then
[22:40] <ericy> liam: Try "help cd" first.
[22:40] <leftist> i cannot locate the create a usb startup disk option under system/admin/ yet i checked and i see it is installed
[22:41] <battlehands> smw, because I want to use SSH to login to my desktop from any other computer and access/create files.  Im trying to learn HOW to do that and apparently I need to configure my sshserver file after having installed it.
[22:42] <smw> battlehands, you don't have to configure anything
[22:42] <acicula> battlehands: actually the default just works
[22:42] <mickster04> battlehands: not really, the normal config is fine
[22:42] <battlehands> smw,  could you help me get started?
[22:42] <liam> Ericy: I used "cd directory" like you said and terminal gave me ">", I typed wine "application.exe" like the Wine tutorial asks and it said "Bash: directorywine: application" cannot be found
[22:42] <smw> battlehands, if you already installed it, all that is left is to ssh to it.
[22:43] <Psydoll> exit
[22:43] <leftist> i looked under ubuntu software installation and i see it is installed but i dont see it under the path. what would be the command line ?
[22:43] <battlehands> smw, this is my first time doing anything like this, so I dont even know how to start using it.
[22:43] <battlehands> smw, I installed the server package on my desktop, and I installed the client package on my laptop
[22:43] <smw> battlehands, it comes with the client
[22:43] <smw> battlehands, anyways, just ssh user@host
[22:43] <battlehands> smw, what comes with the client?
[22:44] <smw> battlehands, ubuntu
[22:44] <battlehands> smw,  I tried that already when you said it earlier... and I received an error message.
[22:44] <battlehands> smw, could you be more specific in your instructions?
[22:45] <ericy> liam: Leave off the " ".
[22:45] <smw> battlehands, so instead of telling me that, you decided to edit a config file? lol. What was the error?
[22:45] <ericy> liam: And for directory, what did you type?
[22:46] <battlehands> I opened my laptop terminal (the computer Im using as a client), and typed "ssh battlehands@battlehands-dkt" and it said that the name or service was unknown.
[22:47] <smw> battlehands, that means that that dns name does not exist.
[22:47] <suprbly> hello
[22:47] <liam> Ericy: Yes, I did that.. XD I typed "media\expansion drive" my XHDD is called Expansion Drive and I don't know how to cd to it
[22:47] <smw> battlehands, use ip address.
[22:47] <battlehands> smw,  how
[22:47] <smw> battlehands, replace the host with the ip
[22:48] <battlehands> ok
[22:48] <dTx> battlehands, or you could try battlehands-dkt.local if you have mdns
[22:48] <battlehands> smw, I dont know what mdns means
[22:48] <dTx> just try it
[22:48] <dTx> :P
[22:48] <battlehands> smw, I was also under the impression that I need some type of hosting to use SSH
[22:49] <mickster04> battlehands: by installing ssh server you are hosting a ssh server?
[22:49] <smw> battlehands, something has to host it. Your desktop works
[22:49] <ericy> liam: It sounds like perhaps you need to learn the basics of directories & files.  Try this "man pwd" (without the ").
[22:49] <battlehands> dTx, it said that the authenticity cannot be established,,, do I continue?
[22:49] <mrdeb> is 10.10 worth installing now that 11.04 is coming?
[22:49] <smw> battlehands, yes
[22:49] <liam> Ericy: I do, this is my first day using Ubuntu :P
[22:49] <suprbly> 11.04 is coming
[22:49] <suprbly> crap
[22:49] <Polah> mrdeb, perhaps not, 11.04 is only a month away
[22:50] <suprbly> i just installed 10.10
[22:50] <mickster04> suprbly: just update?
[22:50] <mrdeb> so, 10.04 or wait for 11.04?
[22:50] <mickster04> mrdeb: i would say yes
[22:50] <suprbly> ya i will.. so far unbuntu rocks
[22:50] <battlehands> Warning: permanently added battlehands@battlehands-dkt.local to list of known hosts!!
[22:50] <ericy> liam: OK. To get help on the commands, do man "command"
[22:50] <mickster04> mrdeb: as in install 10.10, then update
[22:50] <suprbly> is 11.04 coming with gnome 3
[22:50] <mickster04> battlehands: that is a good thing
[22:51] <battlehands> mickster04, so am I in the terminal of my desktop now?
[22:51] <dougl> how do I install adobe flash player for ubuntu 10.10?
[22:51] <Logan_> !natty | suprbly
[22:51] <ericy> liam: It gives you a manual page or document on terminal commads; Try man pwd
[22:51] <Logan_> !flash | dougl
[22:51] <shell> hola
[22:51] <Logan_> !es | shell
[22:51] <dougl> Logan_, thanks
[22:51] <Logan_> dougl: you're welcome
[22:51] <ericy> liam: "man pwd" (without the ")
[22:51] <suprbly> o
[22:52] <mickster04> battlehands: yes
[22:52] <liam> Ericy: Done that, yes. Comes up with a load of text.
[22:52] <suprbly> so its not going to be out for average folks for awhile
[22:52] <Polah> Isn't Canonical removing the "Edition" from Ubuntu releases with 11.04?
[22:52] <mickster04> battlehands: type in uname -a and see what comes out
[22:52] <mickster04> Polah: what you do mean edition?
[22:53] <battlehands> Linux battlehandsdkt ...
[22:53] <ericy> liam: (By the way, do q key to quit/exit a manual page...
[22:53] <Polah> Mickster04: I remember seeing an article that they are discontinuing "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" and "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" in favour of just "Ubuntu" that will run well on both, and replacing "Ubuntu Server Edition" with just "Ubuntu Server"
[22:53] <mrdeb> which edition
[22:53] <liam> Ericy: Wondered what the escape char was XD I can't see any relevant information in "man pwd" though
[22:54] <battlehands> mickster04, I have a partition created on my desktop that is specifically for files.  how do I access them through terminal?
[22:54] <ericy> liam: Try "man pwd" , because you need to change your current working directory.
[22:54] <mrdeb> Polah: yes
[22:54] <battlehands> mickster04, they are in a folder called "Magnificent"
[22:54] <battlehands> smw, thank you for the help
[22:54] <mickster04> Polah: oic, yeah, uhm netbook is out, and it's just ubuntu and ubuntu server, no need for the word edition, but it doesn't matter any, makes no change
[22:54] <smw> battlehands, np
[22:54] <liam> Ericy: I've used "man pwd", now what?
[22:54] <battlehands> dTx, thank you as well
[22:54] <Polah> mrdeb, mhm, I just found the article again
[22:54] <Orson> Hola guys, in a BETA Invitaion on Rails 3 I have a problem in the signup url yet didn't find a solution http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/1298457#new any idea?
[22:55] <AnubArack> How can I make Sound Recorder, record from the desktop and not the mic ?
[22:55] <mickster04> battlehands: cd ~/Desktop/Magnificent
[22:55] <dTx> battlehands, you're welcome
[22:55] <Kre10s> liam: man stands for manual. it means your supposed to read the output of that command.
[22:55] <battlehands> mickster04, no such file or directory
[22:55] <ericy> liam: Change to the directory where your .exe file is.  Another command you need is ls do  "ls"
[22:55] <liam> Kre10s: I read it, there seems to be very little to no relevant information there.
[22:55] <mickster04> battlehands: use tab to autocomplete the address
[22:56] <battlehands> is doesnt seem to be finding it
[22:56] <battlehands> mickster04, is there a way I can search for that directoy?
[22:56] <mickster04> battlehands: well do cd ~/ and enter
[22:56] <battlehands> mickster04, directory*
[22:56] <mickster04> battlehands: then do a ls
[22:57] <vacho> guys I am getting: sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu ... why?
[22:57] <battlehands> mickster04, ok, ty
[22:57] <mickster04> battlehands: which will list everything in your home folder, find your desktop folder then the folder you are after
[22:58] <ericy> liam: Command: ls - list directory contents
[22:58] <soul> ls -laX = really helpful command to sue
[22:58] <soul> use*
[22:58] <battlehands> mickster04, the issues is that the partition is not in my home folder or on my desktop... so how do I find it then?
[22:59] <vacho> Help is really appreciated gentlemen, someone?
[22:59] <liam> Ericy: Okay, at the minute pwd gives me "user/home" how to I move up in the directory so I can access my XHDD?
[22:59] <soul> battlehands: do this command -- > $locate <file>
[22:59] <liam> Ericy: "\home\user" even.
[23:00] <AnubArack> How can I make Sound Recorder, record from the desktop and not the mic ?
[23:00] <ericy> liam: Do "help cd"
[23:00] <battlehands> soul, -bash syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
[23:00] <battlehands> soul, Im also looking for a drive partition, not a file
[23:00] <soul> battlehands... did you do that with out the $ symbol?
[23:01] <soul> oooh okay battlehands
[23:01] <battlehands> soul,  no
[23:01] <soul> battlehands.... "locate <file>" helps to find files... didn't know you were looking for a partion though... you can try to install gparted... really good partion tool
[23:02] <battlehands> soul, I dont need to create a partition... I need to access it through SSH using terminal.  Im logged into the SSH server, and I need to get into one of its partitions.
[23:02] <soul> battlehands "sudo aptitude install gparted" I believe.......... also... the locate cmd should find ur partion too, everything in linux is a FILE after all :)
[23:03] <soul> battlehands....... oooooooh lol, nevermind haha
[23:03] <vacho> http://pastebin.com/FYy5QVba why am I getting: sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu
[23:03] <ericy> liam: Example: cd /home/user/Documents
[23:04] <soul> battlehands... did you check the /mnt diretroy yet?
[23:04] <soul> directory*
[23:04] <battlehands> soul, what do you mean by check it?
[23:05] <soul> if ur in ssh you can go to the root file and see if what you are looking for is in /mnt
[23:05] <liam> Ericy: That example was lots of help. Although my XHDDs name has a space in it and that seems to be making problems for it
[23:05] <battlehands> soul,  how do I navigate to my /mnt through terminal?
[23:05] <soul> battlehands: cd /
[23:05]  * tommylommykins waves
[23:05] <battlehands> soul, I found it
[23:05] <soul> battlehands then type... cd mnt
[23:05] <battlehands> soul, how do I open the partition?
[23:06] <tommylommykins> is it possible to install packages while booted from a livecd?
[23:06] <mrdeb> is ubuntu 10.10 bette than 10.04 and faster?
[23:06] <ericy> liam: put quotes around the directory name.
[23:06] <battlehands> soul, it is listed as "Magnificent" in the mnt dir.
[23:06] <high-rez> Is there a way to get the source tree for the very specific version of the kernel I'm running now ?
[23:06] <tommylommykins> c
[23:06] <soul> battlehands....... hmmm, try ls -laX to waht permissions you get first
[23:06] <soul> what*
[23:06] <Polah> mrdeb: It's the later version; so I'd assume it makes mostly improvements
[23:06] <battlehands> soul, command not found
[23:06] <battlehands> tommylommykins, yes
[23:06] <mrdeb> it is faster
[23:06] <ericy> Spaces in file and directory names, are evil.
[23:06] <battlehands> !packages
[23:06] <soul> battlehands "ls -la"
[23:07] <battlehands> soul,  a bunch of nonsense showed up
[23:07] <soul> battle: you should be able to just mount that file to ur computer then you are able to go through it,.... I am not sure how to do that part though hahaha
[23:07] <tommylommykins> battlehands: I can't get apt-get to work straight off
[23:07] <vacho> WHY DO I GET permission denied on: sudo "bellagio" > /etc/hostname
[23:07] <tommylommykins> apt-get update errors with no address associated with hostname
[23:08] <soul> vacho: sudo
[23:08] <battlehands> tommylommykins, try synaptic package manager
[23:08] <vacho> I am doing sudo!
[23:08] <liam> Ericy: It's not having that problem anymore but now it won't find the directory even though I know what I'm typing is correct
[23:08] <Rodolfo> so whats up? any news on the upcoming U11.04?
[23:08] <Polah> vacho: Why are you defining "Bellagio"? Is that your user name?
[23:08] <soul> vacho... try "ls -laX" to see who gets permissions for it
[23:09] <soul> vacho: you may have to change the permissions
[23:09] <vacho> Polah: no I just picked a random name
[23:09] <tommylommykins> battlehands: synaptic says "could not download all respoitory indexes"
[23:09] <ericy> liam: Show me what you typed.
[23:09] <tommylommykins> (I am connected to the internet)
[23:09] <ia9371> i cant believe my stupid laptop overheats with just playing youtube videos
[23:09] <ia9371> ITs suppose to have radeon
[23:09] <battlehands> tommylommykins, not sure
[23:09] <ia9371> dvd video as well my stupid computer overheats
[23:10] <liam> I did, as a test, "cd "/home/pictures""
[23:10] <tommylommykins> battlehands: *should* I be able to install packages in the same way as I would with a normal install?
[23:10] <bubblegummybear> liam, Pictures, not Pictures
[23:10] <bubblegummybear> ugh, Pictures, not pictures
[23:10] <bubblegummybear> it's case sensitive
[23:10] <datakid> hola, using empathy as an irc client, I want to silence/ignore/plonk one particular user in one particular channel. I don't want to silence for everyone, I just want to ignore them in *my* view
[23:10] <datakid> any tips
[23:11] <liam> Bubblegummybear: It still rejected it with caps in place/
[23:11] <battlehands> tommylommykins, as far as I know
[23:11] <bubblegummybear> hm
[23:12] <battlehands> soul, http://imagebin.org/143599
[23:12] <soul> battlehands... try Google search "ubuntu how to mount from ssh" and go to the 2nd find...
[23:13] <ericy> liam: I think what you should have done was: cd /home/user/Pictures
[23:14] <Auriga> Hi, does anyone know how to stop applications which are opening, from following you across desktops, & opening where you are?
[23:14] <soul> battlehands: tell me if that link helps you k... Google search "ubuntu how to mount from ssh" and the second result
[23:14] <soul> battlehands: when you use "ls -lax" its all one command ;)
[23:14] <liam> Ericy: Oh sod, you're right. :P Okay, now I've got the hang of cd command, how do I cd into my XHDD, because "cd "/XHDD Name/folder"" isn't working
[23:15] <gerrin> need help, im running 10.10 and im having choppy audio when running emulators, anybody know a fix?
[23:15] <cayne> I have no idea if I am even close to the right room here, but I am looking for help with bash scripting
[23:16] <battlehands> soul, I think it should be simpler than that.
[23:16] <ericy> liam: What this XHDD ?
[23:16] <liam> Ericy: XHDD = External Hard Drive
[23:17] <battlehands> soul,  when I type Magnificent/ it says, "Magnificent is a directory".... Well... thanks, Ubuntu, now let me in that directory!!!
[23:17] <cayne> gerrin: which emulators?
[23:17] <soul> battlehands: lol, yah I never tried, just passing the info on haha........... type "cd Magnificent"
[23:17] <cayne> battlehands: cd magnificent
[23:17] <gerrin> mupen64plus and visualboyadvance
[23:17] <ericy> liam: External HDD's are usually mounted on: /media/....
[23:17] <Nicolas_Leonidas> hey ubuntu server asks me for "Enter the administrative password" and when I enter the only password I have, it does not work
[23:18] <battlehands> soul, wow.. I had tried that several times before... but now its worked.. Thanks

[23:18] <cayne> gerrin: I had problems with VBA on gentoo a couple weeks ago and found that recompiling it with different use flags helped a ton. What sound system are you using? ALSO or OSS?
[23:18] <soul> battlehands: gedit <filename>
[23:19] <cayne> gerrin: sorry, ALSA
[23:19] <soul> battlehands: its it a txt file you type "gedit <file>"
[23:19] <gerrin> not sure, how can i find out
[23:19] <liam> Ericy: When I do /media, I get into the media directory, but when I do /media/expansion drive" it doesn't work (expansion drive being the name of my external hard drive)
[23:19] <battlehands> soul,  so I need to specify the app that Im using to open the file before I open the file?
[23:20] <suprbly>  battlehands: and put a '&' after the file name
[23:20] <cayne> gerrin: try typing in "which alsa" without the quotes
[23:20] <battlehands> soul, for example... if Im using Texmaker to open a latex file I would do texmaker <test.tex> ???
[23:20] <cayne> gerin I bet that is what you are using right now
[23:20] <soul> battlehands: not sure... you can jsut try to "cd" in to it too and see it that works
[23:20] <ericy> liam: And if you see your XHDD, do: cd /media/"expansion drive"
[23:20] <battlehands> soul, ok.  I will play around with it
[23:20] <battlehands> soul, thanks again
[23:20] <gerrin> type that in terminal right?
[23:20] <suprbly> liam: you can also try the locate command
[23:20] <soul> battlehands: you are very welcome, glad I could help
[23:21] <cayne> gerrin: yup. just without the quotes
[23:21] <gerrin> got   /sbin/alsa
[23:21] <ericy> liam: Error > And if you see your XHDD, do: cd "/media/expansion drive"
[23:22] <cayne> yeah, thats the issue then. I would try compiling VBA from source using OSS instead and see if that helps any
[23:22] <gerrin> ok, im such a noob lol, how do i do that?
[23:22] <liam> Ericy: It's working now! I can open the .exe! Thanks a lot for the run through!!
[23:22] <cayne> gerrin: the same thing goes for mupen too
[23:23] <ericy> liam: Anytime. Bye.
[23:23] <cayne> gerrin: hit up the official website for VBA and look for a download section. You want to download the VBAFILENAME.tar.gz
[23:23] <gerrin> ok
[23:23] <vacho> I am new to webmin and I just installed it.. how do I setup php and mysql through webmin?
[23:24] <Urocyon> I have a vexing problem.  I uninstalled some packages, but now when I reinstall them they don't get completely installed.  They are missing configuration files and such.   Tried purging deleting, etc, but when I go to reinstall - it doesn't work.
[23:24] <cayne> gerrin: be warned though, compiling from source might end up with you scratching your head a fair bit, but you will learn a ton in the process
[23:24] <Urocyon> any ideas on what I may have done and how to correct?
[23:24] <gerrin> ok preciate it
[23:25] <cozziemoto> Urocyon,  which packages
[23:25] <itaylor57> !webmin | vacho
[23:25] <Urocyon> well, in this case postgres 9 using martin's backports.
[23:25] <vacho> itaylor57: that's not true..it is supported..I just installed it?
[23:26] <cozziemoto> Urocyon, ooo ok.. not sure then,,, did you try  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:26] <cayne> anyone able to help me out with bash scripting? I am trying to write a script that will rename FOO.BAR into something else using a combination of variables to automate the creation of a cert file for my server, but the default name won't do for me, and I would like to rename it based on my hostname. I'm good on the $HOSTNAME part, but I want the file to end up being called $HOSTNAME_ldap_key
[23:26] <itaylor57> vacho: no I just made up the factoid in the bot
[23:26] <Urocyon> not the dist-upgrade, no
[23:27] <soul> battlehands: type "gnome-open <file>"
[23:27] <Urocyon> dist-upgrading and rebooting, just in case.
[23:28] <EmuAlert> What the easiest way to copy a file's full location from Nautilus? Ctrl+C copies it in a way more appropriate for a browser than a terminal
[23:29] <ehw> cayne:  try ${HOSTNAME}_ldap_key ?
[23:30] <cayne> ehw: nope... it doesn't recognize the variable and instead prints out just _ldap_key
[23:33] <th0r> ehw: how about $HOSTNAME + '_ldap_key'
[23:33] <Jordan_U> EmuAlert: Just quote it in the terminal. cd '/this/path/that/I/copied/from/nautilus/with spaces in it/'
[23:33] <gerrin> trying to figure out how to configure VBA(visualboy advance) from source, can anyone help
[23:33] <ehw> cayne: is this is bash?
[23:33] <Urocyon> I think I found my postgresql problem.  I don't think it liked that I had /var/lib/postgresql as a mount point.
[23:34] <cayne> ehw: yeah, I just tried echoing $HOSTNAME from a test script and it apparently doesn't recognize the variable inside the script, but my system knows it
[23:34] <Urocyon> nope... that wasn't it afterall
[23:34] <gerrin> cant figure it out, never dont this befor
[23:34] <mirgonkj> #eArgentina
[23:34] <Urocyon> rats.   still no configuration love.
[23:34] <th0r> cayne: how about $HOSTNAME + '_ldap_key'
[23:35] <erik333> Hm, anyone know how to make xchat remember to not show join/leave msgs? would be helpful for this channel :) (or some alternative IRC client that is good)
[23:35] <cayne> th0r: no love. The script apparently doesn't know about $HOSTNAME
[23:35] <Urocyon> Got to be something peculiar to martin's script.  sorry for the bother.
[23:36] <ehw> cayne: You can set it explicitly with HOSTNAME=$(hostname -f) at the top of your script, then
[23:37] <gerrin> hey cayne, cant find that .tar.gz you told me to find
[23:38] <pooltable> hi ok help how do i set up my computer internet connection to go as fast as it can up and down thanks
[23:38] <cayne> ehw: still not picking up my hostname... I'm seriously confused now. I thought that a script would inherit the variables of the parent shell that executed it
[23:38] <testjohnboy> Hello All
[23:39] <ehw> It should, is it defined in the parent env? Echo $HOSTNAME working?
[23:39] <EmuAlert> Jordan_U: All of the spaces are replaced with %20, and the whole this is preceded by "file://". Is there another way to paste it? It has spaces and starts with / when I paste it here
[23:40] <cayne> ehw: yeah, I can echo my hostname of my FQDN with it, but the script doesn't catch it
[23:40] <cayne> can I post urls in here?
[23:40] <pooltable> yes
[23:40] <cayne> gerrin: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vba/VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.1-SDL-linux-glibc22.tar.gz?download
[23:40] <cayne> gerrin: that oughta be your source tarball
[23:41] <testjohnboyagain> hello
[23:41] <th0r> cayne: try $hostname....lowercase...in the script
[23:41] <Jordan_U> EmuAlert: That's not what is happening for me when pressing ctrl+L to see the location then ctrl+C to copy it, then pasting it into Gnome Terminal. Are you doing something different?
[23:42] <cayne> if I echo the hostname variable as you told me toset it inside the script it echos fine, but it doesn't seem to want to use it in another variable
[23:43] <cayne> th0r: still nothing... this is stupid... I have never had to fight this hard with one bloody variable
[23:44] <MasterLurker> hi guys, I need to take the screenshot of an entire window which extends beyond the screen (I need to scroll down). Is there an application like scrot to do that? (on Ubuntu 9.10)
[23:44] <ehw> cayne:  when you say inside another variable, can you give an example?
[23:44] <cayne> ehw: th0r: if you two are interested, here is my test script: http://pastebin.com/JtQCKCT1
[23:44] <Jordan_U> cayne: Could you pastebin the script?
[23:44] <cayne> Jordan_U: great minds think alike
[23:45] <[TK]D-Fender> "Fools seldom differ"
[23:45] <pooltable> internet connection to go as fast as it can up and down  how to ?
[23:45] <Jordan_U> cayne: You are using inconsistent capitalization of $HOSTNAME.
[23:45] <cayne> [TK]D-Fender: very nicely said
[23:46] <th0r> cayne: line3: SERVERNAME=$HOSTNAME + .... since HOSTNAME has been defined in line2
[23:46] <EmuAlert> Jordan_U: I'm just pressing Ctrl+C when the file is selected. The Ctrl+L thing works to get the location, but I still have to type in the file's name, which is a little annoying
[23:46] <th0r> cayne: and you might be causing yourself problems by trying to use HOSTNAME as a variable....use something like KEYNAME instead
[23:47] <cayne> th0r: wow... I can't believe my stubborness didn't let me come up with that one...
[23:47] <gerrin> anyone know how i can change from alsa to oss?
[23:47] <Jordan_U> EmuAlert: I see what you mean now. Not sure what you can do about that, but you might want to file a bug report against Gnome Terminal as it should probably be smart enough to recognize such pastes as file paths and handle them correctly.
[23:49] <Jordan_U> EmuAlert: Ahh, you can also just drag the file into the terminal window.
[23:49] <leg3nd> hey everyone, im trying to remotely monitor an enterprise network for host specific traffic and bandwidth usage, ideally using promisious mode without physical access to the gateway.
[23:49] <cayne> th0r: still nothing... I am getting frustrated pretty fast with this script... SERVERNAME=${KEYNAME} + '_ldap_key' isn't working either
[23:49] <EmuAlert> Jordan_U: Ah, thanks a bunch.
[23:50] <Jordan_U> EmuAlert: You're welcome.
[23:50] <th0r> cayne: yup....the change I suggested works in my vm at least
[23:50] <Guest31324> nick lwizardl
[23:51] <gerrin> im running 10.10 64bit build, would like to switch some programs from alsa to oss but dont know how, can anyone help?
[23:51] <ehw> cayne: http://pastebin.com/jWweW6ZS
[23:51] <pooltable> what is alsa and oss?
[23:52] <gerrin> the sound systems i think
[23:52] <Jordan_U> cayne: You don't need to rename your variable $KEYNAME, and it would be : SERVERNAME="${KEYNAME}_ldap_key"
[23:52] <th0r> cayne: if ehw's doesn't do the trick....I did it a little different and it seems to work
[23:53] <lee> I have a problem with xubuntu 10.4, I get a blank screen ("no signal detected" from the monitor) after the xubuntu splash screen. I have tried these kernel options: i915.modeset=0, xforcevesa, nomodeset, none make a difference. I have tried booting into recovery and doing failsafeX, but then I get "out of range" from the monitor. anybody have any suggestions what else to try?
[23:53] <Jordan_U> cayne: There is nothing special about the variable $HOSTNAME, this applies to any variable in bash.
[23:53] <cayne> ehw: worked like a charm. I guess I was trying to overcomplicate things
[23:53] <ehw> Great :)
[23:53] <cayne> Jordan_U: alrighty.
[23:54] <cayne> ehw: I appreciate the help
[23:54] <ehw> cayne: Very welcome, and good luck
[23:55] <cayne> ehw: so looking at your script I guess my issue was that I need the squiggly brackets to use a variable within another, and the entire thing needs to be double quoted?
[23:56] <ehw> cayne: The squiggles let bash pick out variable names,right
[23:57] <hasenj> is there a name for the process that manages the display of themes? my theme is messed up ..
[23:57] <hasenj> pretty much like here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1629628
[23:57] <ehw> If there's no white space ...
[23:58] <zen_monkey> hi... how can i check my battery level on command line?
[23:58] <cayne> ehw: okay, that makes sense. Nobody likes whitespace
[23:58] <juken> Is there a way to check to see if an mp3 file is DRM'd?
[23:59] <ehw> cayne: double quotes arund a syring mean vars should be substituted, single quotes mean to ignore them
[23:59] <chairmao> running 10.10 anybody know why i can't play youtube videos in full screen without them freezing all the time?
[23:59] <cayne> ehw: ahh... I wondered what the difference was between single and double
