[00:00] <chairmao> but they just say update flash
[00:00] <chairmao> and on chromium
[00:00] <ehw> Right so echo '$hostname' literally prints $hostname
[00:00] <juken> ehw: '' makes it literal
[00:00] <ehw> juken: Correct
[00:01] <juken> ehw: wasn't sure if you were asking a question or telling someone else, sorry :P
[00:01] <SlickT10> my touchpad freezes after resuming from sleep and never comes back till I restart. What can I do?
[00:01] <ehw> juken: Hehe
[00:01] <chairmao> really annoying because sometimes it works
[00:02] <cayne> ehw: and that is where my problem started... I question if I should even be playing around with scripting an entire server installation if I have a hard time getting something so simple to work...
[00:02] <ehw> juken: Need to remember to include usernames, it's a busy channel ;)
[00:02] <juken> ehw: indeed, lots of traffic, hehe
[00:02] <Suit_Of_Sables> does anyone know what repo LAME is in? apt-get install lame  can't find it with the default repos
[00:02] <ehw> cayne: gotta start somewhere!
[00:03] <juken> cayne: what language?
[00:03] <cayne> ehw: bash
[00:03] <juken> ah
[00:03] <cayne> juken: bash
[00:03] <juken> cayne: I find O'Reilly books to be great resources :)
[00:04] <cayne> ehw: yeah but if I make a mistake while setting up certificates, installing services and applications en masse, and the like I could imagine I would have a nightmare tracking down the bugs that will inevitably pop up
[00:04] <Reallycool> sfill seems to have frozen up, how can I get it to work?
[00:04] <cayne> juken: I have actually seen a couple of those before... I might need to look into getting my paws on the BASH one
[00:05] <high-rez> Back again.  I cannot figure out for the life of my what the 'correct' way is to obtain the /exact/ kernel source for the version i'm running including the version magic - so that I can build a kernel module against the specific version of the kernel i'm currently running (which is likely to be an older version than what is current in ubuntu).  Any of you know how this would be achieved ?
[00:05] <ehw> cayne: True enough; otoh doing it all by hand each time can introduce other unexpectedness
[00:06] <jongbergs> !topic
[00:07] <cayne> ehw: yeah... I've done it by hand like 5 times in the past week and I keep wiping it and redoing it trying to get it to play nicely with what I want it to do
[00:07] <gerrin> anybody know any Gba and/or N64 emulators that will work in 10.10 without and compiling or configuring
[00:08] <jongbergs> hi, i'm considering to setup network monitoring software which do you recommend among the tw? Nagios vs OpenNMS..thanks for you opinion.
[00:08] <xangua> gerrin: look at software centre
[00:08]  * ehw heading out, night all 
[00:09] <gerrin> i have looked, and all of them have very choppy audio
[00:09] <cayne> anyone willing to take a look at my horrible mess of a script before I call it working and throw it into action? I'd love a few extra sets of eyes that are not bash rookies like me to check it out and tell me what I screwed up on? http://pastebin.com/FVm8K4R8

[00:11] <Unirgy_> hi, for some reason my ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS is stuck with php 5.2, where should i look, maybe there's a limit on upgrade for it?
[00:12] <SlickT10> any one have any idea how to get a trackpad to wake after the computer resumes from sleep. Mine freezes after the first sleep and has be restarted to restore functionality to the trackpad
[00:13] <rhin0> silly one -- ubuntu 10.04 "click to show appointments or tasks" irritatingly covers the clock display even when the mouse isn't on it -- is there any other clock with seconds -- or a way to disable this?
[00:13] <skutr3> hey im installing ubuntu using 64gb how big should swap be???
[00:13] <xangua> Unigy compile a newer version or upgrade your distro
[00:13] <rhin0> just covers the clock -- look at the clock "click to show appointnmetns or tasks" covering it
[00:13] <Unirgy> xangua it is 10.04.1 LTS - shouldn't be fine?

[00:18] <giiker> hi everyone, I'm going to install ubuntu on a flash drive, anyone can recomend me a fast file system to choose?

[00:21] <Tohuw> Has anyone successfully installed redmine using postfix for the email backend? If so, can I take a gander at your email.yml?
[00:21] <Polah> Would I be right in understanding that the minimal install has the kernel, a command line and nothing else?
[00:21] <Polah> or thereabouts
[00:24] <Reallycool> sfill seems to have frozen up, how can I get it to work?
[00:24] <Tohuw> Polah: The minimal install contains significantly more than that. Its primary purpose is to not include packages in the image. Rather, it downloads them all using a text-based installer. See http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal to get an idea.

[00:37] <mickster04> giiker: and i don't know if ext# will work either

[01:07] <mickster04> StepNjump: this is ubuntu support, you don't have a problem with ubuntu

[01:08] <Alfastar> hi
[01:08] <DOOX> yeah i did
[01:08] <mickster04> Logan_: not really, he is asking about something ubuntu doesn't really do, and he hasn't got a problem, he wants to know what else is an option. this channel isn't about that?
[01:09] <Logan_> mickster04: there is nothing wrong with that
[01:09] <Krycek> free help
[01:09] <RobotCow> DOOX -> I suspect you had installed it through ubuntu graphical user interface
[01:09] <mickster04> Logan_: except this is a support channe;
[01:09] <mickster04> Logan_: for when things break
[01:09] <darkstar> my wireless is always disable ,how to deal with
[01:09] <RobotCow> DOOX -> which gives you flash through certain packages
[01:09] <Logan_> omid: /join #opensuse
[01:10] <RobotCow> DOOX -> there is a better way to do it and it's been working good with me for a long time
[01:10] <mickster04> darkstar: can you turn it on ever? or do you just mean on boot up? have you checked the BIOS
[01:10] <Jordan_U> omid: If you can boot Ubuntu then just run "sudo update-grub" in Ubuntu.
[01:10] <DOOX> yeah i think something like that , you know i am new to linux so you have to be patient for me :)
[01:10] <Jordan_U> omid: If you can't boot Ubuntu follow this guide from a LiveCD: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[01:10] <RobotCow> DOOX -> so i suggest you remove all packages like flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree
[01:11] <DOOX> ok
now both my ubuntu and windows7 works fine like before but i couldnt see a suse option in the grub.
[01:11] <RobotCow> DOOX -> once all flash packages are removed
[01:11] <recursion> Im having an issue in 10.10 where regular users dont have priveledges for removable media (memory sticks/usb drives..etc.) --> what do i need to do to let regular users have the same access to removable media as the adminstrative user accounts have?
[01:11] <oneliner> having the /tmp directory owned by root, apache running as www-data user group, should i add root to www-data group or else how would i mix match users groups so both can write to /tmp?
[01:11] <RobotCow> DOOX -> you need one file flashplugin.so and I will find the link for you
[01:11] <Jordan_U> omid: Then run "sudo update-grub" in Ubuntu.
[01:11] <mickster04> recursion: settings>admin>users and groups?
[01:11] <DOOX> ok
 right now i'm using ubuntu. this screen shot shows the partition which i installed suse in . do you think i can fix it ? http://www.up.pnu-club.com/images/2vuzl8sp4ax2cy3mktm.png
[01:12] <fizy[laptop]> is there any way to set options for the login screen in lucid? specifically disabling clicking with the touchpad and enabling the ctrl alt backspace shortcut?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> omid: Again, just run "sudo update-grub" and come back if that doesn't add a SuSe entry to the grub menu.
[01:13] <omid> jordan_u thank you.

[01:36] <azizLIGHTS> is it safe to change my username? i want to change my /home/userdir name basically
[01:37] <jtrucks> azizLIGHTS: sure... change the directory, the uername in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, and fix the permissions on the directory
[01:37] <azizLIGHTS> what about programs and stuff
[01:37] <jtrucks> OR, if you just want to move your homedir, ust change it and copy/mv every there.
[01:38] <azizLIGHTS> what about ssh keys and stuff
[01:38] <azizLIGHTS> will i have to remake those
[01:38] <jtrucks> no.
[01:38] <azizLIGHTS> but they say ubuntu@myip
[01:38] <jtrucks> as long as the UID stays the same, IIRC
[01:38] <jtrucks> that doesn't matter. that's just a comment.
[01:39] <jtrucks> you still present the data from the same key and the same key is used on the other side.
[01:39] <azizLIGHTS> thats nice
[01:39] <azizLIGHTS> i do have root on the machine, maybe i should just make a new user?
[01:40] <promdog> test
[01:40] <azizLIGHTS> and move stuff there
[01:40] <promdog> If I am creating a class A  network with 8 Subnets, what shou my subnet mask be?
[01:41] <jtrucks> if you don't have root, you likely must make a new user or ask the admin.
[01:41] <jtrucks> you can't change your homedir
[01:41] <jtrucks> or username
[01:41] <jtrucks> without root
[01:41] <Pici> Or create a new user.
[01:41] <jtrucks> if you have sudo access, it's root enough :)
[01:42] <jtrucks> creating a new user is usually easier... just open perms on old user such that new user can read everything and copy to newuser's homedir tree as newuser (so perms are right)
[01:42] <azizLIGHTS> ok

[01:48] <tmandry> fabio333: I tried that, didn't work. Look like I'm not using grub1, not 2 btw
[01:48] <giiker> how do I find out if I have Ubuntu x64 installed?
[01:49] <Thedemon007> yes mickster04
[01:49] <naryfa> is it possible to suppress those messages: user entered the room, user left the room, in here????
[01:49] <mickster04> Thedemon007: uhm then something is severly broken
[01:49] <tmandry> giiker: "uname -a" at the prompt, it should say x86_64 in there if you do
[01:49] <mickster04> naryfa: /ignore #ubuntu ignore join leave
[01:49] <Chelsea> isn't that uname -a?
[01:49] <tmandry> fabio333: am using 1, not 2*
[01:49] <Thedemon007> aff no mickster04 is this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581883/ the other is manual mount
[01:50] <randomuser> is there some reason (outside of a hardware flub) i can't get a console on the 10.04x32 installer?
[01:50] <mickster04> Thedemon007: can you see it in windows?
[01:50] <naryfa> mickster04: it says there's no such command
[01:50] <fabio333> tmandry, so there is a grub.cfg in the /boot folder
[01:50] <mickster04> naryfa: oh what client are you using?
[01:50] <naryfa> uhm, finch
[01:50] <mickster04> Thedemon007: how did you try an mount it?
[01:50] <fabio333> /boot/menu something like that i can't remember
[01:50] <mickster04> naryfa: no idea, i use irssi
[01:51] <naryfa> mickster04: oh, but thanks for trying :)
[01:51] <Thedemon007> yes i can use flash drive in other machine with ubuntu
[01:51] <tmandry> fabio333: mmk thanks
[01:51] <Thedemon007> sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt
[01:51] <ivanBliminse> Does anyone know how to disable autofill forms in firefox 3.6.15 for ubuntu 10.04??
[01:51] <randomuser> you know, "Ctrl+Alt+F(x)" ??

[01:52] <ivanBliminse> mickster04: where at, i've looked all through it and cant find it
[01:52] <fabio333> i got a brand-new hp g62... got rid of win 7 after a couple of days.... after a a month... something went wrong
[01:52] <mickster04> ivanBliminse: no idea,l i don't use ff, but it should be about there really
[01:52] <Thedemon007> yes i can use flash drive in other machine with ubuntu mickster04
[01:52] <fabio333> my laptop shuts down by itself
[01:52] <mickster04> ivanBliminse: also try about:config
[01:53] <giiker> tmandry: thanks that worked...!!!
[01:53] <Thedemon007> sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt mickster04
[01:53] <ruan> fabio333: do you think it could be overheating?
[01:53] <fabio333> no... i'm using sensor and the temp is under 40°
[01:53] <Stevethepirate> fabio333: Don't always trust sensors.
[01:53] <fabio333> by now: temp1:       +38.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)
[01:53] <naryfa> syrinx_: same thing, no such command, maybe I'm typing something wrong, not a big deal I guess
[01:54] <tankant> I would like to ask.... How many Chinese people are  in this place ?
[01:54] <fabio333> i thinnk this budget laptop is crap
[01:54] <jtrucks> anyone know the approx upgrade time needed for 8.04LTS to 10.04LTS? (it's a really fat pipe on the server, so download time is fairly minimal)
[01:54] <mickster04> Thedemon007: uhm, so are you sure it's vfat and have you tried not mounting it there? is it definitely /dev/ssd?
[01:54] <naryfa> fabio333: I learned that most budget things are crap, but that doesn't mean I'm rich lol
[01:56] <Thedemon007> I'm not sure to be vfat but if it is /dev/sdd mickster04
[01:56] <fabio333> what about ubuntu and the warranty?
[01:56] <mkquist> jtrucks: im of the opinion that its faster and easier just to reinstall new version...
[01:56] <EClaesson> Are there any installers/distros that can install on a pc with windows installed without a need of reinstalling windows? I read about some some time ago, but of what i heard they weren fully stable/safe
[01:56] <jtrucks> mkquist: I don't have that option. it's a remote server and it's production.
[01:57] <syrinx_> EClaesson: WUBI
[01:57] <jtrucks> every in place upgrade I've done has worked without issues so far.
[01:57] <naryfa> fabio333: what's wrong with it?
[01:57] <mickster04> Thedemon007: well basically the mount command is wrong is what it is saying...but the problem is that you are missing some major part of ubuntu that deals with usb, what did you do recently
[01:57] <Shkodrani> Samsung I9000 =-> android IRC =-> wireless connection =-> freenode =-> good result ;-)
[01:57] <Thedemon007> I've compiled my own kernel may be that this is my config file http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581876/
[01:58] <jrmcm> EClaesson: I installed ubuntu next to win 7 no reinstall needed, just popped in the install cd and then partioned my drive
[01:58] <fabio333> naryfa, maybe ubuntu caused the damage to the system
[01:58] <mickster04> Thedemon007: well then i don't know how to fix it. but that'll probably be why it's broken, the kernel has usb drivers
[01:58] <researcher1> i want to creat space in my hard drive.How can I do that without harming the installed prgrams?
[01:58] <Thedemon007> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-814657.html <mickster04>
[01:59] <syrinx_> fabio333: doubt that
[01:59] <naryfa> fabio333: I'm sorry I wasn't reading before that, do you mind repeating what is the problem?
[01:59] <jrmcm> Is there a vm channel?
[01:59] <jtrucks> researcher1: delete old logs or unused tmp files
[01:59] <fabio333> nayfa the problem is that my hp g62 shts down by itself
[01:59] <xangua> researcher1: there is always a risk, make a coppy of your important data
[01:59] <mickster04> Thedemon007: what am i looking at?
[01:59] <fabio333> seems to be an hardware issue
[02:00] <xangua> ooh didn't read well :S
[02:00] <EClaesson> Thanks syrinx_
[02:00] <syrinx_> fabio333: maybe the fan is stuck
[02:00] <fabio333> i can hear it
[02:00] <jtrucks> researcher1: find the offending directories with the most space and see what isn't needed by doing cd /; du -sm * | sort -n
[02:00] <aroman> hey, does nautilus ever automatically create any folders?
[02:01] <naryfa> fabio333: can you still return it?
[02:01] <syrinx_> aroman: not that I know of
[02:01] <fabio333> i suppose so
[02:01] <syrinx_> fabio333: HP is usually cool about that kind of stuff
[02:01] <naryfa> fabio333: then don't wait
[02:01] <aroman> syrinx_: I suspect it's creating a folder called `Desktop` in $HOME
[02:01] <ruan> lol
[02:02] <ruan> desktop is created on install
[02:02] <aroman> yes naturally
[02:02] <aroman> i'm aware of that, lol
[02:02] <syrinx_> lol
[02:02] <ruan> and it is placed in home
[02:02] <aroman> i was asking the question because it's interfering with my remaster of ubuntu
[02:03] <aroman> i've set XDG to sepcifically NOT create a desktop folder, yet it pops up on the livecd anyhow
[02:03] <aroman> yet when you `adduser`, or install the system, the folder is gone as it should be
[02:03] <aroman> my suspicion is that nautilus caches something before xdg can get to it.
[02:03] <naryfa> fabio333: what's the exact model of your laptop
[02:03] <fabio333> by now i'm using it with the battery plugged
[02:04] <jrmcm> Is there a vm channel?
[02:04] <fabio333> and uptime says "02:59:42 up  1:56,  2 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.09, 0.06" .. so far so good
[02:04] <jrmcm> or a virtual box channel?
[02:04] <fabio333> naryfa, hp g2 b02sl
[02:05] <ruan> jrmcm: #virtualbox    im not sure if its active though
[02:05] <ruan> jrmcm: 230 users

[02:09] <fisix> hey! does anybody know how to switch the icons between and within the system tray (notification area / indicator applet)?
[02:10] <Da|Mummy> what are people using to check sfv files?
[02:11] <ruan> Da|Mummy: cksfv

[02:12] <ruan> yes
[02:12] <Da|Mummy> anything with a nice gui?

[02:12] <fabio333> good nite... see you soon
[02:14] <ruan> Da|Mummy: closest thing i could find to a gui was a ftp client that supports sfv checking
[02:15] <Da|Mummy> ok i guess im sticking to quicksfv with wine...thx

[02:16] <TechniCore> Is it possible/safe to install both 10.10 and 11.04 at once?
[02:16] <TechniCore> on one system i mean
[02:16] <edbian> TechniCore, sure
[02:16] <edbian> TechniCore, If you have enough hdd space you could install 200 different linux distros
[02:16] <fisix> jrmcm, i'm trying to move the icons themselves. like the internet icon right beside the volume icon
[02:17] <TechniCore> Because I remember a friend telling me that the two installations can't detect eachother
[02:17] <dustin> anyone of you folks know much about compileing programs like Tor ?
[02:17] <fisix> jrmcm, unlocking to move only allows switching the notification area and indicator applet back and forth as groups
[02:18] <edbian> TechniCore, They can 'detect' each other but you can't be running more than one Operating System at a time so they only 'detect' each others files which is harmless.
[02:18] <ruan> !compiling | dustin
[02:19] <jrmcm> fisix: there are different "themes" that move the indicators around within each group.
[02:20] <dustin> thanks ruan brb gonna view the site i still gotta find the folder its in :(
[02:21] <matt___> I don't know where to ask so I figured I'd ask this nice group of smart people. I want to utilize some sort of plugin/web software/etc to automatically sell something via paypal, after payment, automatically reach into a mysql database and email a unique PIN to the purchaser...
[02:23] <fisix> matt___, make a php page to do that?
[02:23] <matt___> fisix: Well....I was hoping for something already done, but I have been leaning towards just getting started on that. I'm not sure how it'd work verifying with paypal, but I guess that's the fun part;)
[02:25] <fisix> matt___, me neither. maybe there's some open source code out there that does the job or similar. good luck!
[02:25] <matt___> fisix: Well..I've found a thing or two...but really I'm wanting to get it to work within TomatoCart...this seems to be an awesome piece of stuff right there...
[02:27] <fisix> matt___, tomatocart looks neat!
[02:28] <matt___> fisix: It is based, I believe, on one of those OS's that runs in an internet browser...and it does everything. IF I can just get this to work, I can use it for my entire webstore. See...the problem with me and custom coding PHP is it will be different than the rest of my webstore....I want to use something like TomatoCart, OScommerce, ecwid, etc.
[02:30] <matt___> fisix: Maybe the simplest thing to do would be to setup a "download" of instructions on what to do with the PIN, and then write a bash, etc on my desktop that all I have to do is enter email after email and it will grab the stuff from a mysql and email it from my desktop
[02:31] <amusselm_> Hello. I'm having issues with BCM4306 wireless. I enabled the propitary drivers through the GUI, but network-manager still says the device is missing it's firmware

[02:32] <matt___> fisix: OR if I could have a system that just allows me to upload 500 images, each with a unique pin, and let 1 customer download 1 image after purchase, and then never download that image again....but I like the record keeping ability of mysql
[02:32] <fisix> matt___, an OS can't run in an internet browser... but maybe a shell script with some php could do the job!

[02:55] <eristikophiles> apparently phonon didn't work right the first time
[02:55] <ericy> Thedemon007: It is often a good idea to inspect your connected drives, via:   sfdisk -l   -OR-   df -h    -OR-   blkid
[02:55] <rilkean_heart> :D
[02:55] <futr_vision> Yes. Not sure if i should use Ext4 etc. or Fat32 which i am more accustomed too.
[02:56] <joshmclvl1> futr_vision : NO fat32. of the two most def. ext4
[02:56] <Thedemon007> ericy http://pastebin.com/SeebeCwv
[02:56] <joshmclvl1> futr_vision : something in me just cringes at that thought for some reason.
[02:56] <Belial`> soul, mine: http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/8615/screenshot2grc.png
[02:56] <ericy> Thedemon007: Wait, i will look...
[02:57] <futr_vision> Ok. Just wasn't sure.
[02:57] <mickster04> futr_vision: definitely ext4 over fat32, but if you need it to work with windows make a partition with ntfs,
[02:57] <Thedemon007> ericy http://pastebin.com/9u5mSAvh
[02:57] <joshmclvl1> soul, that is pretty overwhelming. Of course I'm running xmonad and xmobar so It's next to nothing in comparison ;)
[02:58] <futr_vision> Got one more Q too. I've already got WinXP and Server 2003 installed on their own drives. I'm install Ubuntu now on its own drive(hopefully). Is there anything special I need to do?
[02:58] <soul> Lol, Joshmclvl1... I have compiz and emerald going too... I love helping people set up nice desktops.... Belial, urs looks SUPER nice and clean
[02:58] <ericy> Thedemon007: What is that from?
[02:59] <mickster04> futr_vision: not really, follow the on screen instructions :p
[02:59] <jrtayloriv> When I try to put a Windows recovery disk into my CD-ROM drive (on either of my Ubuntu laptops), it makes a bunch of whirring and clicking noises but generally won't mount the disk. By insert-eject-repeating I have gotten it to mount once, but it generally won't. I get the following from dmesg when I pop it in: http://pastebin.com/6pmVJXFG
[02:59] <futr_vision> leave mount point blank?
[02:59] <jrtayloriv> Really I'm just interested in mounting the disk image so that I can run it in qemu
[02:59] <joshmclvl1> futr_vision: you'll probably be ok, but I'd let someone else more knowledgeable answer first.
[03:00] <mickster04> futr_vision: nope
[03:00] <jrtayloriv> Is there any way that I could use dd to pull the contents of the disk, even if I can't mount it properly?
[03:00] <mickster04> futr_vision: if it's just one big partition for the whole thing use /
[03:00] <Aginor> futr_vision, be very sure you select the right disk if you repartition/wipe things
[03:00] <Thedemon007> blkid | pastebinit ericy
[03:00] <ericy> Thedemon007: OK, the last pastebin was output of blkid command.  Show me sfdisk -l  with your 4GB usb stick plugged in.
[03:01] <ericy> Thedemon007: OK, the last pastebin was output of blkid command.  Show me sfdisk -l  with your 4GB usb stick plugged in.
[03:01] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, yes, there's many alternatives for you
[03:01] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, What would be the easiest way for me to just make an ISO image?
[03:01] <futr_vision> I think I am only going to use one partition unless there is a better option. I do plan on copying web pages from the Server 2003 install over to Ubuntu and vice versa.
[03:01] <Thedemon007> sfdisk -l no show nothing
[03:01] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, but you will most likely end up dumping the entire disk/filesystem to a file
[03:01] <Thedemon007> sfdisk -l no show nothing ericy
[03:02] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, That's fine with me, as long as I can create a mountable ISO image from it.
[03:02] <ericy> Thedemon007: sudo sfdisk -l
[03:02] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, proper ISO file system or a general disk image?
[03:02] <ruan> i want to install usplash. i cant do it from terminal, and synaptic suggests that i remove ALL of my packages first
[03:02] <ericy> Thedemon007: Run the command: sudo sfdisk -l
[03:02] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, are you getting read errors from the disk?
[03:02] <futr_vision> Aginor, that is something i fear doing but I think I have it. I am planning on installing on the only drive not showing NTFS.
[03:02] <Thedemon007> http://pastebin.com/v4gCjZGF ericy
[03:03] <giiker> exit
[03:03] <Aginor> futr_vision, if you want to be certain, unplug the other drives :D
[03:03] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, Yes, if "Buffer I/O error" is what you mean: --> http://pastebin.com/6pmVJXFG
[03:03] <futr_vision> aginor, I guess that is a pretty full proof way of doing it
[03:04] <ericy> Thedemon007: See the /dev/sdd1 , that is what you should mount...
[03:04] <ruan> how can i install usplash without removing all of my packages
[03:04] <Aginor> futr_vision, that's what I do on the rare occasions I need to install windows. windows have eaten too many of my partitions for me to even let it touch my real OS
[03:04] <ericy> Thedemon007: .. but tell me what you have installed on it ?
[03:04] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, that looks like an unhappy disk :D
[03:04] <xlord> i have a question, is any one can help. i use tcpdump to get
[03:05] <futr_vision> Am I going to be able to share files between Server 2003 and Ubuntu?
[03:06] <noob> why can't i sudo aptitude install lekhonee-gnome in ubuntu 10.10
[03:06] <xlord> i have a question , is any one can help. i use tcpdump to get dns packet, but i only can get response packet, no query packet
[03:06] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, Do you have any idea why I would have been able to get it to mount once though?
[03:06] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, I would recommend that you try to use ddrescue http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html on the relevant partition of your device
[03:06] <soul> noob sudo
[03:06] <xlord> is anyone knows why
[03:06] <knightrage> i'm running 2.6.32-28-generic... how can i find out if my SATA hard drives are hot-swappable?
[03:06] <android2> I have a quick question.  If I have two volumes on my hard disk and have windows 7 on one and ubuntu on the other, what is the best way to remove ubuntu?
[03:06] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, OK -- I'll look into that. Thanks for your help.
[03:06] <soul> noob: sudo aptitude install <package>
[03:06] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, if it's a cd, you might have a dirty laser in the device, the cd or dvd might be dirty/scratched
[03:07] <noob> soul, sudo aptitude install lekhonee-gnome umet deps
[03:07] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, you could try to carefully wipe it off with a microfiber cloth, from the centre and out, not in circles
[03:07] <Thedemon007> ericy i believe what is a problem of kernel i compiled my kernel
[03:07] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, The CD is brand new, no scratches. I just got it in the mail. I'll try to take out the CD drive and clean it out.
[03:07] <soul> noob: you must configure ur depostories
[03:08] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, have you tried it in a different cd?
[03:08] <ericy> Thedemon007: Oh, yes I remember you discuss it with another person..
[03:08] <ruan> how can i install a usplash theme without usplash installed?
[03:08] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, try a different drive first, is my recommendation
[03:09] <ericy> Thedemon007: ...but can you (or do you want to) try another  usb stick ?
[03:09] <jrtayloriv> Aginor -- Actually, I just had a brain fart. It's happening on two different laptops, so it's unlikely to be the disk drive.
[03:09] <jrtayloriv> It's probably a corrupt CD. Which would make sense that Gateway would send me one, considering how crappy their hardware is.
[03:09] <jrtayloriv> It's only fitting that their software is the same quality as my laptop.
[03:09] <Thedemon007> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581876/ my cofig file ericy
[03:10] <Thedemon007> yes i can
[03:10] <Thedemon007> yes i can ericy
[03:10] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, it might have some nasty copy protection on it that confuses the operating systems as well
[03:10] <nsh_> what's the difference between *-desktop-* and *-alternative-* releases?
[03:10] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, but dodgy cd sounds like a good theory :)
[03:11] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, I'll try ddrescue and come back and whine some more if that doesn't work :) thanks again.
[03:11] <soul> nsh: alternive is not as packed as Desktop veriosns
[03:11] <nsh_> *alternate
[03:11] <Thedemon007> i believe is this i have # CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437 is not set
[03:11] <nsh_> hmm
[03:11] <soul> nsh: its more "light"
[03:11] <ericy> Thedemon007: Your last pastebin (581876), I saw already, but its too complicated for me.
[03:11] <nsh_> oh, ok
[03:11] <xangua> text install nsh_
[03:11] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, it'll take long and you probably have to run it several times, so you have been warned
[03:11] <xangua> is not more light, installs the same soul
[03:12] <nsh_> (they're the same approx size)
[03:12] <soul> xangua... so what is the difference tehn?
[03:12] <xangua> soul: text install....said it twice
[03:12] <robdig> alternative is text install, desktop is gui
[03:12] <soul> xangua: gotcha... learned something new
[03:12] <soul> thanks
[03:12] <nsh_> oh ok
[03:12] <ericy> Thedemon007: Do you have Ubuntu installed on the 4 GB usb stick? (PS: Right now I am running Lubuntu 'Live-CD' on a 4GB usb stick.)
[03:12] <nsh_> so it doesn't matter really
[03:13] <Thedemon007> ericy i need reboot i install kernel 2.6.35-27
[03:13] <ericy> OK. See you later.
[03:13] <nsh_> and will wubi blow up if i rename *alternate* to *desktop* because it doesn't seem to care that i have the former locally
[03:13] <nsh_> assume not
[03:13] <ericy> Thedemon007: OK. See you later.
[03:14] <TechniCore> bye
[03:14] <aroman> what in Ubuntu's livecd causes a "Desktop" folder to be created in the livecd desktop user's home folder?
[03:14] <xangua> nsh_: i preffer a real install
[03:15] <nsh_> me too, but i cba to go find a stick/dvd
[03:15] <nsh_> will redo it when i get back home :)
[03:15] <ericy> aroman: An act of God, I suppose.
[03:15] <aroman> ..
[03:15] <nsh_> 13 hour coach journey tomorrow, would rather be messing around in linux than windows :)
[03:16] <Thedemon007> Hello
[03:16] <joshmclvl1> aroman: do you prefer to use the user's home folder for desktop? there is a setting in gconf-editor for that, methinks.
[03:16] <ericy> nsh_: If your coach is a B-747, you can be in Tokyo by tommorrow!
[03:16] <memorygap0> hello everyone. how can i add this manually on repo
[03:17] <aroman> joshmclvl1: I have already set the two gconf keys for nautilus that I'm aware of to do that. I also set XDG's user directory defaults to not include the desktop
[03:17] <memorygap0> ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa
[03:17] <nsh_> ericy, inspiring... ;)
[03:17] <aroman> and in fact, when `adduser`ing, the new user has no Desktop folder.
[03:17] <xangua> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa
[03:17] <joshmclvl1> aroman: interesting.
[03:17] <xangua> memorygap0:
[03:17] <aroman> it would seem that SOMETHING is causing the Desktop folder to be created
[03:17] <memorygap0> xangua: i get command not found
[03:18] <xangua> memorygap0: what version of ubuntu are you using¿
[03:18] <Zelozelos> when using 2 monitors is there a way to switch monitor 1's workspace with out switching #2's?
[03:18] <jimmy_birer> yes
[03:18] <memorygap0> xangua:how can i check the version
[03:18] <jimmy_birer> Zelozelos
[03:18] <aroman> joshmclvl1: yeah, it's very strange. I'd be happy removing it by hand when the live environment runs, but I don't know how I can reliably do that
[03:18] <futr_vision> Hmm. Quit my install of Ubuntu, pulled the USB  to disconnect Server 2003 and WinXP drives. Pulled the USB drive I am installing from as well. Get and error. Plug in the Server 2003 and WindXP drives and it won't boot into those systems.  Did i screw something up?

[03:18] <Thedemon007> ericy kernel kernel 6.2.1935-27 work well the pendrive is very possible that I have compiled the kernel wrong

[03:19] <needlez> hi, i wrote this script (  http://pastie.org/1685010  ) however it passes both those commands to the correct area, my only thing is I would like it to pass those first two commands to that log file 10 times, but after the tenth time remove the first time it logged and replace it with the eleventh log, second replaced with 12th log, and so forth. any way to do this?
[03:19] <ruan> only tga or does it support more?
[03:20] <needlez> ruan: tga, png
[03:20] <memorygap0> xangua: ubuntu 9.04
[03:20] <jimmy_birer> needlez,facepalm
[03:20] <xangua> memorygap0: upgrade to a stable and supported version
[03:20] <needlez> jimmy_birer: why?
[03:20] <xangua> 9.04 is no longer supported
[03:20] <jimmy_birer> why not | instead of >>?
[03:20] <memorygap0> xangua: im using andlinux on xp
[03:20] <ruan> needlez: anything else?
[03:21] <aroman> jimmy_birer: he doesn't want |.
[03:21] <wjw> I am running Ubuntu server.  It sees the Internet fine (can ping www.whitehouse.gov).  Sources.list looks quite like the one on my desktop Ubuntu system.  But when I run aptitude, it shows only "obsolete and locally created packages" and "virtual packages".  Is this normal?
[03:21] <Zelozelos> jimmy_birer, theres no option 2 do that am i missing something?
[03:21] <aroman> it's redirecting stdout
[03:21] <memorygap0> xangua: just to play with linux envi
[03:22] <memorygap0> xangua:  can i add that manuality on source list?
[03:22] <needlez> jimmy_birer: um do realize that my command is to add both those to the same log file, how could I do that with pipe last time it just pipped one command to the log file not both
[03:22] <jimmy_birer> wjw,ahahahahah
[03:22] <Thedemon007> the config file of  2.6.35-27 http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581908/
[03:22] <jimmy_birer> give us the sources.list
[03:22] <jimmy_birer> and tell us the system version

[03:23] <speedrunnerG55> yaaaayyy chrome works with youtube videos!!
[03:24] <Belial`> speedrunnerG55, were you getting a black screen before?
[03:24] <jimmy_birer> speedrunnerG55,is that a surprise for you?
[03:24] <speedrunnerG55> a white screen
[03:24] <ericy> ubottu: In alphabetical order, are you android, bot, clone, robot or human?
[03:24] <Belial`> speedrunnerG55, what did you do to fix it?
[03:24] <speedrunnerG55> i was able to hear the videos and tnot see them for 2 weeks now
[03:24] <hiexpo> hola all
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> i put in a grafics card
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> and enabled visual effects
[03:25] <futr_vision> on a triple boot sytem what device do you use for the boot loader?
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> i dont know if it just updated
[03:25] <abstrakt> futr_vision, same as you would use for a dual boot
[03:25] <ruan> i hope this bootimage works
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> because i aLSO INSTALLED UPDATES
[03:25] <jimmy_birer> im thinking about porting ubuntu to same440p
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> ops caps

[03:26] <jimmy_birer> sam440ep*
[03:26] <futr_vision> abstrakt, which one is that? I've got XP and Server 2003 installed.
[03:26] <NikkiGrrl> glad there's a big group in here tonight....anyone good with bizarre problems? heheh
[03:27] <abstrakt> futr_vision, well I'm not sure how that is managed, you'll have to read the manual
[03:27] <wjw> jimmy_birer sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/581909/
[03:27] <wjw> jimmy_birer How do I get the sys version?
[03:27] <abstrakt> futr_vision, specifically you should read the manual regarding making a dual boot with two systems that are not both microsoft based, i.e. one MS and one Linux based
[03:27] <abstrakt> futr_vision, because you will most likely need to use a different boot loader, but it's still gonna go in basically the same place which is the MBR (master boot record)
[03:27] <abstrakt> futr_vision, http://gog.is/windows/ubuntu/dual/boot
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> wjw
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> tell us which
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> 9.04
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> 10.10
[03:28] <FloodBot1> jimmy_birer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> or what
[03:28] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: I certainly think so (but its not me).
[03:28] <xiyazhao> 中国
[03:28] <NikkiGrrl> ahhh, thank you ericy
[03:28] <futr_vision> abstrakt, thanks. i was hoping i wouldn't have to do any reading beyind this chat :0
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> wjw,are you using lucid?
[03:28] <wjw> jimmy_birer Ubuntu 10.04.1 server
[03:28] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: What are you running  and running into?
[03:29] <abstrakt> futr_vision, here I'll make it easy for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[03:29] <jimmy_birer> wjw....upgrade to 10.10
[03:29] <wjw> By downloading the CD image?
[03:29] <jimmy_birer> no
[03:29] <NikkiGrrl> ericy : attempting to install onto an older thin client motherboard....it's definitely x86 based, but so far, any Ubuntu OS installed hangs at the login screen.....hard system halt, nothing in logs at all
[03:30] <jimmy_birer> wjw,enter in terminal=> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:30] <futr_vision> abstrakt, thanks. Already found that.
[03:30] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: Mmm..
[03:30] <NikkiGrrl> I have tried Ubuntu 10.04, Xubuntu 10.04, and even Ubuntu server 10.04 ....10.10 LiveCD insists the machine is not i386 compatible, but I know better, heh
[03:30] <rww> wjw: Ignore what jimmy_birer's saying, they're being odd.
[03:30] <ruan> ok i set the bootsplash image but it doesn't show the image when i boot
[03:30] <rww> wjw: Try "sudo apt-get update", it sounds like the package list isn't up to date and that will fix it.
[03:31] <jimmy_birer> rww,which better?
[03:31] <ruan> does the image have to be the same resolution as the screen?
[03:31] <jimmy_birer> no
[03:31] <wjw> Neither command did anything.  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[03:31] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: Maybe you should do a hardware diagnostic, like the memtest.
[03:32] <Abhijit> hi
[03:32] <rww> wjw: aptitude still says all packages are locally-installed?
[03:32] <hiexpo> !seen pure_hate
[03:32] <NikkiGrrl> Wonderful idea, ericy, which I already tried. All 512MB of onboard RAM are ok....and during the couple seconds I could get the machine running in command-line-only, top even said I have RAM free
[03:32] <wjw> rww, yes.
[03:32] <NikkiGrrl> we're on the right track, though
[03:32] <Abhijit> i downloaded eternal ladns. and marked it as executable. from terminal if i run ./file.bin it runs but i added same address to applicatioon menu manualy and it dont rum. how to add that menu?
[03:32] <Abhijit> help
[03:32] <jont2383> is there a ubuntu channel on here for ubuntu on mac computers ?
[03:32] <soul> NikkiFrrl: do you have it booting in IDE or ACHI?
[03:33] <ruan> ahh it can read jpg/jpeg as well.
[03:33] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: Wow..
[03:33] <Abhijit> !mac | jont2383
[03:33] <rww> wjw: Can you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy ubuntu-minimal", please?
[03:33] <Abhijit> jont2383, ask here only
[03:33] <NikkiGrrl> Only IDE, soul ....the device is 10+ yrs old
[03:33] <jimmy_birer> rww,you are digging too deep son.
[03:33] <jimmy_birer> k-i-s-s.
[03:33] <jimmy_birer> remember the principle?
[03:33] <ericy> NikkiGrrl:
[03:33] <hiexpo> hola rww
[03:33] <jont2383> ahhh so this is the open general topic channel ?
[03:33] <soul> NikkiGrrl: maybe bios update lol?
[03:33] <rww> hi hiexpo
[03:34] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: What did you install last, Xubuntu?
[03:34] <NikkiGrrl> no such thing, sadly, soul ....we're discussing a thin client
[03:34] <jimmy_birer> xubuntu is just ubuntu with xfce
[03:34] <futr_vision> Hmmm. Dual boot doc not terribly helpful. Boot loader should go on the drive where I installed the first OS?
[03:34] <jimmy_birer> ...
[03:34] <Abhijit> i downloaded eternal ladns. and marked it as executable. from terminal if i run ./file.bin it runs but i added same address to applicatioon menu manualy and it dont rum. how to add that menu?
[03:34] <NikkiGrrl> tried Xubuntu....had read on forums some people had better luck with it, but again, hangs shortly after GDM comes up
[03:34] <NikkiGrrl> GDM comes up....can move mouse around, almost type in username and pass, suddenly....halt
[03:34] <hiexpo> jont2383, yup
[03:35] <soul> NikkiGrrl: What about trying Puppy, thats nice and small?
[03:35] <NikkiGrrl> that's the kicker....Puppy works A+.....so it's apparently a kernel issue
[03:35] <wjw> rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/581911/
[03:35] <NikkiGrrl> Puppy won't exactly do what I need with the system, however....thus my attempt to migrate it to Ubuntu
[03:35] <soul> NikkiGrrl: ooooh gotcha
[03:35] <NikkiGrrl> Ubuntu loves all my other machines, and I love it right back, heh
[03:36] <rww> wjw: Thanks. Can I get the output from "sudo apt-get update" too?
[03:37] <NikkiGrrl> I guess a good question is this....is there a ....stripped down kernel for Ubuntu....for older machines? I can remove the hard drive and force it on there if there is one
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,you just can run ubuntu server
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> 64 mb ram it requires
[03:37] <wjw> rww, Hmm, now it's doing things.
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> then install some X with fluxbox
[03:37] <NikkiGrrl> no, I can't jimmy_birer ....it does the SAME THING
[03:37] <Scunizi> How do I keep cairo doc from loading on boot.. I'm getting one instance on the non-opengl and the opengl version at the same time
[03:37] <NikkiGrrl> hangs some seconds after console log in prompt, instead of GDM, of course
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> well then throw that computer away
[03:37] <hiexpo> NikkiGrrl, which ubuntu you trying
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> get over it
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> no no no wait
[03:38] <NikkiGrrl> jimmy_birer, I came here because that and this are the only computers I can AFFORD, thus my usage of Ubuntu
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,what computer you have?
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> ok ok
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> what computer
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> ?
[03:38] <FloodBot1> jimmy_birer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:38] <jont2383> i am looking for someone who has installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 ppc
[03:38] <NikkiGrrl> as I said before, it's a thin client, 10+ yrs old.... 800MHz, 512MB RAM ....VIA processor and chipset
[03:39] <wjw> rww, btw my intent is to get the Xubuntu desktop.  I thought I'd save bandwitdth by starting with a server CD I already had.
[03:39] <hiexpo> NikkiGrrl, lubuntu
[03:39] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,get crunchbang
[03:39] <NikkiGrrl> lubuntu, hiexpo ? I will look into it, thank you
[03:39] <hiexpo> NikkiGrrl, np
[03:39] <Belial`> lubuntu might give you the same problem
[03:39] <Belial`> try an LTS release.
[03:39] <Belial`> 10.04, see if that hangs.
[03:39] <NikkiGrrl> jimmy....I have tried crunch and Puppy, both work, but neither even let you run outside Root, so they're basically useless
[03:39] <Belial`> if it doesn't, you know it might definitely be kernel related.
[03:40] <NikkiGrrl> Belial`, the various 10.04 flavors, (standard, Xubuntu, and server) are what I HAVE been trying, and yes, all three hang, leading me, as I have already stated, to suspect the kernel
[03:40] <Guest69991> cls_1231
[03:40] <Belial`> ah, well then give 10.10 a shot
[03:40] <jimmy_birer> nikkigirl,did you know that there`s this invention called ADDUSER!!!
[03:40] <hiexpo> Belial`, nah less ram no gdm like ubuntu gnome orkde   thats why it was made minimal with lxde
[03:40] <NikkiGrrl> I'm afraid 10.10 is worse....it insists the machine is not i386
[03:40] <Belial`> hmm
[03:40] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,yeah it is
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> every release has more kernel modules than previous
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> what you expect
[03:41] <NikkiGrrl> jimmy, how do you add user to something like Puppy, which runs from a read only CD?
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> the adduser command?
[03:41] <wjw> rww, I think you have solved my problem, although I don't understand what the cause was and how you addressed it.
[03:41] <deepu> hi i want to set path to an executable other than at bashrc file..i dont want fill my bashrc with so many lines.. is there any other process to specify path
[03:41] <rww> NikkiGrrl: Ubuntu 10.10 and higher require fully-i686 compatible processors. Several older VIA x86 processors aren't, which is why that's happening.
[03:41] <NikkiGrrl> and then when  you power off, jimmy, you're back where you started
[03:41] <NikkiGrrl> thank you rww!! now we're getting somewhere!!
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> adduser again
[03:41] <NikkiGrrl> same to hiexpo as well
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> isnt that hard
[03:42] <hiexpo> puupy runs of ram once booted you can remove the cd > or usb
[03:42] <landingonwater_> one thing i dont understand is that Peppermint gets my broadcom wireless working via additional drivers, but after countless triess I still have no wireless when running Ubuntu.
[03:42] <NikkiGrrl> does 10.04 require 586+ or 686+ as well?
[03:42] <jimmy_birer> yeah
[03:42] <juk> !lubuntu | NikkiGrrl
[03:42] <jimmy_birer> lubuntu is useless too
[03:42] <landingonwater_> how can Peppermint have fixed this issue, and not Cannonical ??
[03:42] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,maybe try debian live cd
[03:43] <ruan> !broadcom
[03:43] <rww> wjw: Alrighty. Your problem was that your computer didn't have a list of packages available from the repository servers. The usual reason for that happening is 1) the computer is new and hasn't contacted the server at all yet, 2) you made major changes to sources.list. "sudo apt-get update" connects to the servers and downloads a packages list.
[03:43] <jimmy_birer> wjw,ping us.ubuntu.com
[03:43] <jimmy_birer> and tell us if it works
[03:43] <rww> jimmy_birer: Their problem's fixed.
[03:43] <jimmy_birer> ok ok
[03:43] <NikkiGrrl> @jimmy : the reason I am still not using Puppy or crunchbang is due to being unwilling to install all my packages at every reboot....that said, you say ALL Ubuntu derivatives will require 686+?
[03:44] <wjw> rww, and jimmy_birer, thanks!
[03:44] <Scunizi> How do I keep cairo doc from loading on boot.. I'm getting one instance on the non-opengl and the opengl version at the same time
[03:44] <NikkiGrrl> if so, can I not perhaps use a 386 kernel from Debian or elsewhere?
[03:44] <rww> wjw: aptitude assumes that any package it can't match to a package list was installed from a .deb or obsolete (removed from the repositories), but in this case it was just that it didn't have any package lists to match against.
[03:44] <jimmy_birer> no problem wjw
[03:44] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,debian 5.0 has 386 support
[03:44] <wjw> rww, so the update is kind of key with a newly installed old system.
[03:44] <jimmy_birer> also debian supports many many more arhitectures
[03:44] <ericy> deepu: Try using alias command OR make a scritpt file.
[03:44] <futr_vision> Where do you install the boot loader on a triple boot system (3 hard drives)
[03:44] <NikkiGrrl> ok....looks like I might have to go straight-Deb.....thanks gang. I'll let you know how it goes!!
[03:44] <NikkiGrrl> cheers!
[03:45] <jimmy_birer> cheers son
[03:45] <rww> wjw: yep. On desktop systems, it tends to get done by Update Manager before the user tries to install packages. Server runs across this problem more often.
[03:45] <ruan> bootscreen image still wont work :/
[03:45] <soul> for Lucid users such as myself, I highly recomend this site for upgrading the repos... http://theindexer.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-10-04-aka-lucid-lynx/   good stuff!
[03:45] <wjw> I'm installing Xubuntu.
[03:45] <jont2383> looking for someone who has installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 PPC
[03:46] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: jimmy_birer: hiexpo: As we speak right now, I'm running on Lubuntu live-cd in a 4GB usb memory stick.
[03:46] <xangua> !ppc | jont2383
[03:46] <wjw> What's cool is I'm doing it over ssh from my machine running Ubuntu, so I don't have to keep leaping out of my chair and into the one in front of the other computer.
[03:46] <rww> jont2383: You may want to just ask your question and see if anyone comes out of the woodwork.
[03:46] <hiexpo> soul, not a good idea to recomend people changing there repos
[03:47] <jont2383> rww lol i just want to know if someone has successfully installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 ppc lol
[03:47] <soul> hiexpo: why not? too easy to get messed up I guess?
[03:48] <hiexpo> yep  soul and this is ubuntu support not off channel support to change there repos
[03:48] <soul> hiexpo: gotcha, that makes perfect sense to me
[03:48] <rww> jont2383: I've seen Ubuntu on someone else's iMac G5, so yes.
[03:48] <jont2383> thats it, i'm trying to decide if i should try it out on my main hd which i cant restore if the ubuntu dosent work... or go buy a new hd and try that
[03:49] <rww> jont2383: Unless the compatibility's gotten better since about hardy, though, it's kind of a pain (I tried it and gave up after a couple of hours because I didn't care that much and was just curious)
[03:49] <jont2383> rww : do you know how well it worked compatability wise with software etc
[03:49] <jimmy_birer> jont2383,powermac g5 is good
[03:49] <jimmy_birer> i had a g5 emulator
[03:49] <soul> hiexpo: but I will say this, that site can help them peice back their repo's, only reason why I mentioned it... my repos were messed up and that got me going back smoothe, so really it could be ubuntu support too :)
[03:49] <jimmy_birer> and it worked fine
[03:49] <hiexpo> jont2383, have you tryed the live cd if it works ok live it will work installed
[03:50] <rww> jont2383: In general, PPC compatibility is reasonable. You don't get non-free software (Flash being the one people care about) unless it comes in a PPC version, but almost all of the free software stuff in the repositories is there.
[03:50] <jont2383> yeah i have this amazing 16gb ram dual quad core PPC dual 1gb nvidia cards but it wont run any new mac osx software so i want to turn it into a nasty fast linux desktop server
[03:50] <wjw> Yay, here comes abiword.
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> 16 gb ram?
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> i wold write a new os
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> to have that machine
[03:51] <hiexpo> !yay | wjw
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> !yay WomanTheSandwich
[03:51] <wjw> I have a 16 MiB machine that runs some old linux.
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> damn small linux?
[03:52] <jimmy_birer> !yay | WomanTheSandwich
[03:52] <jimmy_birer> she made it
[03:52] <wjw> Can't remember what the distro was called.  It came with the machine.
[03:52] <rww> jimmy_birer: It seems like you might like #ubuntu-offtopic.
[03:52] <wjw> A computer I played with in school had only 8 KiB and no disk.
[03:52] <jont2383> i run damn small linux on my 10 year old ibm laptop lol
[03:52] <jimmy_birer> i joined it now
[03:53] <wjw> I programmed it in RPG-II.  The compiler consisted of three very long decks of cards.
[03:53] <ericy> Mee too.
[03:53] <landingonwater_> well.. i tried sta, b43, and ndiswrapper. ubuntu 10.10 refuses to see the broadcom wireless hardware.
[03:53] <jimmy_birer> i uploaded linux on a humax satellite receiver
[03:53] <jimmy_birer> it works fine
[03:53] <jimmy_birer> i can use ls,cd,touch
[03:54] <jont2383> jimmy_birer : lol thats awesome
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> and assembler
[03:54] <landingonwater_> ubuntu 10.04 DID see It, but i ditched 10.04 because I was using wubi back then, and It was a bad setup
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> thnx
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> i had so many frustrations with wubi
[03:54] <landingonwater_> Peppermint has no problem seing the hardware.
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> i would download the iso
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> mount it virtually
[03:54] <wjw> Hoping abiword works well; openoffice.org crashes.
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> and the sucker would download the iso again
[03:55] <landingonwater_> but ubuntu 10.10 additional drivers recognises nothing
[03:55] <jont2383> i use Freebsd for my satellite tracking dish
[03:55] <jimmy_birer> my hammer has unix 07 inside
[03:55] <rww> Witty comments to #ubuntu-offtopic, please :(
[03:55] <jimmy_birer> ok
[03:56] <jont2383> i installed ubuntu in my battery operated drill.... the drill never crashed now
[03:56] <rww> jont2383: you too ;P
[03:56] <landingonwater_> for additional drivers i only see software modem and nvidia driver. no b43, sta or else.
[03:56] <jont2383> rww : sorry i just hit send when you typed that
[03:56] <Da|Mummy> so in other words, the only reason car crashes happen all the time, is because they have windows?
[03:57] <wjw> Da|Mummy, heh
[03:57] <joseph__1> [03:57] <jimmy_birer> Da|Mummy,Linux is like having a car with steel windows
[03:57] <jont2383> (keeping mouth shut) tons of witty responses to the windows remark hahah
[03:58] <jont2383> going to throw them out in #offtopic
[03:58] <jont2383> rofl
[03:58] <landingonwater_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx is useless as long as ubuntu 10.10 cant see the hardware at all.
[03:58] <jimmy_birer> landingonwate,are you using dell inspiron 1525?
[03:59] <landingonwater_> jimmy_birer: even worse.. the HP lx1000
[04:00]  * jimmy_birer hides himself in the bushes and laughs while farting
[04:00] <landingonwater_> jimmy_birer: vista sees the wireless, and ubuntu 10.04 and peppermint. ubuntu 10.10 sess no card, and nothing turns up in additional drivers
[04:00]  * rww redirects jimmy_birer to #ubuntu-offtopic again
[04:00] <jimmy_birer> ok sorry
[04:01] <battlehands> my laptop isnt recognizing any cds... I changed the boot order in the bios to boot from cd first, and it still completely skips the install cd that I have in there when I boot... how can I reformat my laptop without a cd?
[04:02] <landingonwater_> battlehands: why not install using USB
[04:03] <soreau> battlehands: Did you double check to make sure its still set to boot cd first?
[04:03] <jimmy_birer> battlehands,i used an old modem cable
[04:03] <jimmy_birer> wrote a socket in python
[04:03] <jimmy_birer> and transffered the files
[04:03] <jimmy_birer> to a ext3 filesystem
[04:04] <battlehands> landingonwater_, I need to reformat quickly.  Can I DL the iso and set it up on a flashdrive quickly?
[04:04] <landingonwater_> jimmy_birer: If the card is not seen by ubuntu 10.10, the what good is software ? there must be some hickup in 10.10 resulting in this problem. can i copy some stuff directly from peppermint to fix It ?
[04:04] <battlehands> soreau, yes, and its not even recognizing any CDs that are inserted.
[04:05] <landingonwater_> battlehands: use pendrive to put ubuntu on the stick. install from there. pretty fast procedure.
[04:05] <soreau> battlehands: Sounds like a problem with the cdrom drive then
[04:05] <landingonwater_> battlehands: you can setup the usb stick on linux as well. but i forgot the procedure.
[04:06] <battlehands> landingonwater_, how do I put ubuntu on pendrive?
[04:06] <landingonwater_> battlehands: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[04:07] <landingonwater_> battlehands: download ubuntu. whatever flavor. install pendrives usb installer.
[04:08] <battlehands> landingonwater_, can I reformat my computer with this pendrive?
[04:08] <landingonwater_> battlehands: yes you can. use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ to install ubuntu on the stick. the install from the stick
[04:09] <fxhp> How do I set the disk path in vmbuilder
[04:09] <landingonwater_> battlehands: installing from the stick let you create dualboot, or start from scratch.
[04:10] <battlehands> landingonwater_, I just want to start from scratch
[04:10] <landingonwater_> battlehands: casper partition does take som time, so if you dont wanna use the stick for anything else dont go for 4 gb casper.
[04:11] <landingonwater_> battlehands: well.. always useful to have a ubuntu on USB. but go for It. I did It twice. no problems.
[04:11] <battlehands> landingonwater_, thanks
[04:11] <landingonwater_> hmm. damn.. I wish my broadcom would work.
[04:12] <_Platypus_> The last laptop I had had a Broadcom, and it was the most nightmarish device I've ever configured.
[04:13] <landingonwater_> _Platypus_: how did you solve It ? same problem with card not being recognized ????
[04:13] <austinium_> i am having trouble logging in via ssh, keep getting the error:"Read from socket failed:Connection reset by peer", ssh -vvv output ->  http://pastebin.com/A30bcSe7
[04:13] <geekyogi> I'm looking for a port forwarding or PAT solution on Linux, any suggestions?
[04:13] <austinium_> U10.04, OpenSSH 5.3p1
[04:14] <stefanhol> Good evening probably in America. I ave a question concerning qt4-archiver and this is my first use of irc so please be friendly.  In Germany it is 5 am.
[04:14] <soreau> geekyogi: iptables
[04:14] <JdGordon|> how do i make gnome *not* open the file browser when a usb drive is connected?
[04:14] <landingonwater_> _Platypus_: well.. thanks for discouraging me further :D
[04:14] <_Platypus_> landingonwater: I think I had to do the whole ndiswrapper (?) thing, but it's been so long...haven't had that laptop in over 2 years.
[04:14] <marie> can someone help me with firefox? - im having issues going to pogo.com - it keeps telling me i have to install java, but- i have already installed java.. what am i missing?
[04:15] <soreau> ! java | marie
[04:15] <landingonwater_> _Platypus_: aah.. okay. I see. well.. I tried ndiswrapper as well. but its not seing the card at all.
[04:15] <soreau> landingonwater_: what card is it?
[04:16] <stefanhol> I want to use qt4-archiver on a live CD, but it asks for a sudo password for "ubuntuuser", but I do not know the password.
[04:16] <marie> soreau, maverick-multiverse ?
[04:16] <landingonwater_> soreau: driver is bcmwl5.inf
[04:16] <_Platypus_> landingonwater: I apologize I can't be of more assistance to you man. It's also why I won't ever buy anything with a Broadcom.
[04:17] <soreau> ! broadcom | landingonwater_
[04:17] <landingonwater_> soreau: ubuntu doesnt see the card at all. so im not sure what model it is. i will to boot peppermint ot find out
[04:17] <soreau> landingonwater_: Eventually there will be an open driver for broadcom but not yet
[04:17] <soreau> landingonwater_: If lspci doesnt show it, you likely need to enable it in the bios
[04:17] <_Platypus_> Yes! That link that ubottu suggested is how I remember fixing my Broadcom!
[04:17] <soreau> or otherwise turn it on
[04:18] <marie> soreau, nvm- followed the link
[04:18] <alteregod> how should i turn off my harddisk using hdparm, after 2 hours?
[04:18] <landingonwater_> soreau: thing is that Peppermint shows additional driver for the card, and It works just fine there. Ubuntu sess nothing. and i fint that strange since Peppermint is based on Ubuntu.
[04:19] <landingonwater_> soreau: can you explain that ? enable in bios ? but peppermint, vista and ubuntu 10.04 could see the broadcom card ??
[04:19] <GeneralK> Hi. I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop PC, but Grub won't boot and drops me to a rescue prompt. I have a feeling it's because I installed on an nvidia raid array. Right now I've booted with a live cd and run this boot info script, but I'm not sure what to do next. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.
[04:20] <ruan> GeneralK: what does grub report as an error?
[04:20] <GeneralK> ruan: file not found
[04:20] <stefanhol> I have never choosen a password for qt4-fsarchiver and still it asks me for one. What could be the reason or what should I do to solve the problem with qt4-fsarchiver on Live-CD?
[04:20] <ruan> GeneralK: do you remember which file?
[04:21] <soreau> landingonwater_: You are saying it does not show in lspci? Perhaps some irq conflict?
[04:21] <jont2383> Generalk : nvidia HD raid array or graphics server ?
[04:21] <GeneralK> jont2383: HD raid array
[04:21] <GeneralK> ruan: I don't think it said anything besides error file not found grub rescue
[04:21] <landingonwater_> soreau: it does not show in lspci. hmm.. irq ?? so.. you are saying It can be fix if its a conflict ?
[04:21] <soreau> landingonwater_: Is it a pci/internal card, not usb/external?
[04:22] <ruan> GeneralK: can you try to reinstall grub?
[04:22] <landingonwater_> soreau: its an internal card. the laptop is a HP Pavilion lx1000 with amd64 turion
[04:22] <GeneralK> ruan: Maybe. How would I go about it, though? Do I need to mount the drive in the live cd or something?
[04:22] <ruan> !grub2
[04:22] <soreau> landingonwater_: Did you check dmesg for any interesting messages?
[04:23] <landingonwater_> soreau: dmesg ?
[04:23] <soreau> ! dmesg
[04:24] <jimmy_birer> ! man
[04:24] <jimmy_birer> i asked for men
[04:24] <jimmy_birer> not for manual idiot
[04:24] <syrinx_> lol
[04:24] <soreau> jimmy_birer: What happened to the ot channel?
[04:24] <jimmy_birer> it raffed
[04:25] <w1n5ton> Say I wanted to connect to two wifi networks
[04:25] <w1n5ton> Using one for downloading torrents
[04:25] <w1n5ton> And one for web browsing
[04:25] <GeneralK> ruan: So, sudo fdisk -l gives me: Unable to seek on /dev/sda
[04:25] <w1n5ton> How would I go about doing this?
[04:25] <landingonwater_> soreau: okay.. got the long list from dmesg. what do i look for ?
[04:26] <soreau> w1n5ton: You would need two wifi cards
[04:26] <w1n5ton> I know that
[04:26] <soreau> The rest is easy
[04:26] <w1n5ton> But how would I direct the bittorrent client
[04:26] <w1n5ton> and the web browser to only use one
[04:26] <hiexpo> soreau, hola
[04:26] <soreau> landingonwater_: Any interesting messages
[04:27] <soreau> hiexpo: hi?
[04:27] <ruan> GeneralK: hmm. it cant read the hard disk
[04:27] <w1n5ton> How is it easy?
[04:28] <hiexpo> soreau, hey how do i look up log from last night from irc
[04:28] <BlueBomber7> How do you register a nick on an irc server in xchat?
[04:28] <Flannel> BlueBomber7: /msg nickserv help register
[04:28] <rww> !register
[04:29] <ruan> GeneralK: otherwise i'd suggest a super grub disk
[04:29] <soreau> hiexpo: What log? (why are you asking me?)
[04:29] <hiexpo> soreau, sorry didn'tmean to direct that to you
[04:30] <BlueBomber7> Thanks, guys
[04:30] <Paul6253> hi I am at my wits end...I'm running 8.10 ( ibex) and for some crazy reason I cannot get any updates...well I tweaked my apt source list but now it complains about a java zip file that is no longer available
[04:30] <hiexpo> !8.10
[04:31] <landingonwater_> soreau: im not sure what to look for. some like this ??: ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNK1] (IRQs 5 7 10 11 14 15) *0, disabled.
[04:31] <rww> Paul6253: Ubuntu 8.10 reached end of life status in April 2010 and is no longer supported in #ubuntu. See the information ubottu's about to give you for help with upgrading to a supported version.
[04:31] <rww> !eol | Paul6253
[04:31] <hiexpo> Paul6253, no more support for 8.10
[04:31] <Paul6253> I see that...
[04:32] <stefanhol> Can anyone help me with problems with a LIve-CD?
[04:32] <soreau> ! ask | stefanhol
[04:32] <rww> soreau: They already did ask.
[04:32] <ericy> stefanhol: What?
[04:32] <GeneralK> ruan: Does it mean anything to you that the boot info script says Grub 2 is installed on /dev/sda and /dev/mapper/nvidia_ebbedadj?
[04:32] <Paul6253> so my current prob is I want to install xvidcap but I can't find any decent version for intrepid anywhere...I DO NOT want to upgrade
[04:33] <rww> stefanhol: The default username for Ubuntu live CDs is "ubuntu". The default password is the empty string / blank. I don't know if this helps.
[04:33] <stefanhol> qt4-fsarchiver wants to have a password for ubuntuuser, but I do not know it. What should I do. I have never given it a password.
[04:33] <battlehands> Im having error 5 input/ouput when I try to create a boot disk on my pendrive.  help?
[04:33] <soreau> stefanhol: What do you need qt4-fsarchiver for?
[04:33] <Paul6253> if anything I'd go back to heron,lol
[04:33] <EClaesson> I'm using a laptop where my right arrow key is broken. On window i used PowerKey (i think it was called so) to map a special key above the right arrow to it. Is this possible on ubuntu with some tool?
[04:34] <rww> Paul6253: If you're not going to upgrade, then you don't get support here. Sorry :\
[04:34] <ruan> GeneralK: slightly. it might not be able to boot from either of the drives
[04:34] <rww> Paul6253: Intrepid hasn't gotten security updates since it went EOL. It's really not a good idea to be using it.
[04:34] <landingonwater_> EClaesson: i had a broken key on my old laptop and remapped it. easy as pie in Ubuntu
[04:34] <stefanhol> hanks for the answers. empty string as password does not work and I must do a total backup of my system.
[04:34] <battlehands> An uncaught exception was raised:
[04:34] <battlehands> [Errno 5] Input/output error
[04:35] <Paul6253> well that's fine but xvidcap was a fine working app for 8.10 and I never got it but now I want it and I see no reason why it can't be done
[04:35] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: sounds like a dodgy pen drive
[04:35] <EClaesson> landingonwater_: How?
[04:35] <battlehands> Paddy_NI, Ive tried two different drives...
[04:35] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: try using unetbootin... there is a problem with syslinux and usb-creator on maverick
[04:36] <landingonwater_> EClaesson: system / preferences / keyboard / layout / options
[04:37] <ruan> is it possible to play audio from a console?
[04:37] <battlehands> Paddy_NI, what is unetbootin?
[04:37] <battlehands> !unetbootin
[04:37] <landingonwater_> ruan: yes.. there is an audioplayer for console. and alpine for mail and so forth. most things can be done in console
[04:37] <Paul6253> well thanks....sad but I guess I have little choice
[04:37] <ericy> ruan: Yes, there are some console audio players in the repos.
[04:38] <ruan> sounds like all things can be done in console
[04:38] <hiexpo> !google
[04:38] <Paul6253> gotta keep up with the  Jones
[04:38] <ruan> browsing, irc, audio, video....

[04:38] <needlez> hi anyone know how to get wimba pronto to work with linux, or if theres a way to set up pidgin's xmpp account to be configured with pronto?
[04:38] <landingonwater_> ruan: i edit my photos in console :)
[04:38] <EClaesson> landingonwater_: I can't find any possibility to do a remapping in the layout option
[04:38] <EClaesson> s
[04:39] <rww> Paul6253: More like... Ubuntu releases every six months. If we had to keep track of and support every version that comes out for, say, three years, things would get impossibly confusing rather quickly.
[04:39] <raido> EClaesson: System >Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
[04:40] <Paul6253> just curious , how much of a footprint on Maverick? is it vastly better than 8.10 and does it still run well on lower end?
[04:41] <mgeary> hey, i'm running 9.10 and apt-get is giving me an older version of ffmpeg than i need. Is there a way to have apt-get retrieve a more recent version?
[04:41] <rww> !requirements | Paul6253
[04:41] <EClaesson> raido: It doens't seem to react on that key
[04:41] <rww> Paul6253: In my experience, there isn't much of a change in requirements between the two.
[04:42] <rww> mgeary: Not through Ubuntu's repositories, no. They aren't updated with new major versions of software after release, for stability reasons.
[04:42] <rww> !latest
[04:42] <needlez> hi anyone know how to get wimba pronto to work with linux, or if theres a way to set up pidgin's xmpp account to be configured with pronto?
[04:42] <hiexpo> needlez, i thought you were a linux guy anyway thats what you said and told everyone in aircrack-ng said you was a pro and was using it for at least 6 years  aircrack-ng anyways and thats when aircrack-ng came out
[04:42] <mgeary> rww: so it it better to compile my own, or can i point apt-get to a reliable different repository?
[04:42] <Paul6253> !lobotomy | self
[04:43] <Paul6253> hmm...did not work
[04:43] <chris_osx> Paul6253, it didn't work for me the first time either
[04:44] <landingonwater_> EClaesson: maybe this is of use: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/
[04:44] <ruan> terminal is super powerful
[04:44] <needlez> hiexpo: i have been using linux and aircrack-ng for years yes, but im not a guru or anything like that, just a student who has been using linux for a while... why do you ask??
[04:45] <Paul6253> that was  self mocking for the benefit of the audience since I asked so many redundant questions
[04:45] <Paul6253> the bot is cool though
[04:45] <rww> mgeary: There are rather a lot of PPAs (which I note aren't supported officially or by #ubuntu in general) that have it. What are your version requirements?
[04:45] <greg> I downloaded "Gadmin Samba" and it changed my computers hostname. How can I change it back?
[04:45] <rww> !hostname | greg
[04:45] <stefanhol> Can anyone tell me a downloadlink for a qt4-fsarchiver image probably without password problems? I got mine from sourceforge.net or should i use Remastersys to produce a customized Live CD with qt4-fsarchiver. In the Live CD I use now, the system asks the ubuntuuser for sudo password but does not accept "" or anything I tried.
[04:46] <dannyLopez68> what is the best version of java?
[04:46] <roberto> oi
[04:46] <mgeary> rww: i only really need the -vf option supported, on my local machine i have SVN-r24472
[04:46] <landingonwater_> soreau: hmm.. can i run peppermint inside ubuntu 10.10 ? because that would make my broadcom work !
[04:46] <Guest34848> you speak portugues
[04:46] <rww> !pt | Guest34848

[04:48] <battlehands> Can someone help me create a boot usb with ubuntu on it?
[04:48] <brandon420> i seriously just lold
[04:48] <Paul6253> get DOS ...it's great
[04:48] <brandon420> battlehands, i had that same thought when i started using ubuntu
[04:48] <Paul6253> always works!
[04:49] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: use unetbootin
[04:49] <ruan> lol dos
[04:49] <battlehands> Paddy_NI, I tried, and it didnt work
[04:49] <landingonwater_> battlehands: im not sure why you get an error. because i did it twice usint universal-usb-installer, and had no problems. did it on 2 different laptops.
[04:49] <deepu> is there any other way to specify executable other than in bashrc or profile files
[04:49] <deepu> is there any other way to specify executable path other than in bashrc or profile files
[04:49] <battlehands> landingonwater_, any idea of how to fix the error?
[04:50] <slipkid08> Yo everyone
[04:50] <battlehands> Paddy_NI, can you help me make sure im doing it right?
[04:50] <landingonwater_> battlehands: format your pendrive. start over. make sure your ubuntu download is healthy.
[04:50] <Paul6253> With Microsoft and a qualified MSCE specialist you are rest assured of a safe , functional, and hassle-free computing experia...*choke* strangle*
[04:50] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: do what landingonwater_ says
[04:50] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: is basically what I'd do
[04:51] <battlehands> landingonwater_, ok, I formatted my pendrive
[04:51] <raido> deepu: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm
[04:51] <slipkid08> Is there any cool scripts for gdesklets that anyone knows of?
[04:51] <landingonwater_> battlehands: windows is like paying for a prostitute. Ubuntu is more like being married !
[04:51] <brandon420> battlehands, the best thing i can tell you, is google. you will find alot of things that people in here cant help with. google is your most useful tool.
[04:51] <ai9371> i wonder why AGP video cards are so hard to find now
[04:51] <ai9371> im looking for like a 8200 geforce
[04:51] <ericy> battlehands: I am right now running Lubuntu 10.10 'Live-CD' installed on a 4GB usb thumb drive, made with unetbootin.  (I've done uNetBootin  from Linux and Windows
[04:51] <brandon420> i know that isnt useful, but remember it, and you wont have any problems with ubuntu

[04:51] <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
[04:52] <battlehands> landingonwater_,  am I supposed to use the boot usb creator in ubuntu?
[04:52] <rww> mgeary: hrm, I'm not finding much of anything for Karmic on the PPA list :\
[04:52] <mgeary> grump
[04:52] <deepu> radia thanks
[04:52] <ruan> intok: works for me. though you can try reinstalling gstreamer flv plugin or using an alternative video player eg. vlc
[04:52] <ericy> battlehands: If you are putting the Live-CD on it, you must format it to Fat-32.
[04:52] <landingonwater_> battlehands: is your ubuntu download complete ? is the iso file complete ?
[04:52] <battlehands> ericy, can you help me get through unetbootin
[04:52] <battlehands> landingonwater_, yes. yes.
[04:53] <battlehands> ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso
[04:53] <landingonwater_> battlehands: you have the universal installer launched. you choose you usb drive, and browse to your Ubuntu iso ??
[04:53] <ericy> battlehands: It's very simple to use. If you want to run it in linux, just install it: apt-get install unetbootin...
[04:54] <landingonwater_> battlehands: you are set to go then. just run it again. might have been a glitch of some sort.
[04:54] <battlehands> landingonwater_, universal installed = startup disk creator?
[04:54] <ericy> battlehands: ....else download the Windows version from their website.
[04:54] <hiexpo> !unetbootin
[04:54] <ruan> if i access my pc with ssh, will sound work?
[04:55] <syrinx_> ruan: on the host or the server?
[04:55] <syrinx_> client*
[04:55] <ruan> syrinx_: the client. the one that is connecting
[04:55] <ericy> battlehands: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net
[04:55] <raido> ruan: no
[04:55] <syrinx_> i don't think so, I think it would play out of the server
[04:56] <rww> it would
[04:56] <hiexpo> unetbootin is in the repos
[04:56] <battlehands> landingonwater_, does my pendrive need to be in a specific format?
[04:56] <gary_inNYC> my update manager tells me "Not all updates can be installed" and suggests to run a "partial upgrade", but online resources say don't do that.  What should I do to fix this?
[04:56] <ericy> battlehands: If you are putting the Live-CD on it, you must format it to Fat-32. Else if you installing to format to ext2 or ext3.
[04:56] <landingonwater_> battlehands: just fat32
[04:57] <hiexpo> battlehands, probally have missing dependencies is why you get that error
[04:57] <landingonwater_> funny enough im fat38 :(
[04:57] <Paul6253> hi all...I can't even upgrade this is BS...this is what I get Fetched 7029kB in 10s (693kB/s)

[04:59] <Paul6253> if any one has ideas ...when I tried to upgrade via exact instructions I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/581926/
[04:59] <landingonwater_> battlehands: then i cant see why its not working. try a different pendrive then. rule out errors
[04:59] <battlehands> is there a terminal command that will reformat?
[05:00] <landingonwater_> battlehands: did you check the md5 sum on that distro ?
[05:00] <hiexpo> battlehands, are you using linux to format that drive
[05:00] <battlehands> landingonwater_, I dont know what md5 sum is.  I am using ubuntu to create the drive
[05:00] <Paul6253> those are just warnings I can ignore or is that critical?
[05:01] <landingonwater_> battlehands: hiexpo is sharp. i didnt notise you were on ubuntu right now.
[05:01] <ericy> battlehands: If you want to do it in GUI, run in Admin menu: gparted    Else console use fdisk.
[05:01] <raido> Paul6253: That akirad repo is a 3rd party repo and it looks like something has changed with that repo since the last time you updated. I would comment that out of your sources list and rerun update
[05:02] <landingonwater_> battlehands: you can do it using ubuntu, some of the guys pasted links here earlier fyi
[05:02] <landingonwater_> battlehands: if in doubt.. just boot a windows and use the universal-usb-installer
[05:03] <battlehands> landingonwater_, this is driving me crazy.  Ive been working on this stuff since 3pm... 9 hours ago.
[05:04] <landingonwater_> battlehands: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[05:04] <landingonwater_> battlehands: just install it on windows and folloow that guide.
[05:04] <battlehands> landingonwater_, ok
[05:05] <battlehands> landingonwater_, booting into windows, brb
[05:06] <richardcavell> What's the channel for getting help with the GNU toolchain including make?
[05:06] <ericy> landingonwater: What kind of error is battlehands getting?
[05:08] <EClaesson> If i do apt-get install grub i get the x86_64 version even though i'm on a 32-bit pc. Can i force it to download the 32-bit version or do i need to download it directly from the ftp/website?
[05:09] <hiexpo> battlehands, if in ubuntu just right click it and format to be used with all systems    than   after that i would open a terminal   and cd to the dir the ubuntu iso is in     >     say it is in the downloads folder     >    so cd Dwnloads   >  than open that folder and right click on the iso and click properties and copy iso name t> han in same terminal type md5sum and paste iso name fileyou copied
[05:09] <hiexpo> ^ than compare it
[05:10] <raido> EClaesson: Paste the output of "uname -a"
[05:10] <mgeary> rww: i followed these instructions and compiled my own ffmpeg. Seems to be working great: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9114176&postcount=967
[05:11] <EClaesson> raido: Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[05:11] <EClaesson> But i am on a 32-bit pc
[05:11] <EClaesson> Can i "change" it without a reinstall?
[05:11] <raido> EClaesson: You have a 64 bit install runnint there. You are 64bit
[05:12] <landingonwater_> ericy: I cant find battlehands error message.
[05:12] <EClaesson> raido: But i am pretty sure this is a 32-bit pc
[05:13] <EClaesson> I used the windows installer
[05:13] <landingonwater_> can i have peppermint installed next to Vista and Ubuntu 10.10 ????
[05:13] <hiexpo> mgeary, http://pasindudps.blogspot.com/2010/09/compiling-ffmpeg-in-ubuntu-1004-lucid.html
[05:13] <raido> EClaesson: Nope, your 64. What kind of proc is it
[05:13] <EClaesson> Intel Core 2 Duo
[05:13] <raido> EClaesson: Yep, 64 for sure
[05:13] <syrinx_> mhmm
[05:13] <EClaesson> Oh
[05:14] <syrinx_> EClaesson: does GRUB work?
[05:14] <EClaesson> I just took for granted (for some reason) that this was a 32 bit. For like.. two years
[05:14] <raido> EClaesson: lol, learn sumptin new every day
[05:14] <EClaesson> syrinx_: I'm going to use grub for my os project.
[05:14] <EClaesson> So i don't know yet
[05:14] <syrinx_> ah
[05:14] <EClaesson> raido: Seriously. Can i somehow test that this really really is a 64 bit machine?
[05:14] <raido> EClaesson: P.S. you already have grub installed
[05:15] <raido> EClaesson: Dude, youre running a 64 bit kernel. All Intel procs since Core 2 Duo are 64bit
[05:15] <EClaesson> raido: Ol thanks. Sorry for my.. confusion
[05:15] <syrinx_> EClaesson: cat /pro/cpuinfo
[05:15] <ruan> proc
[05:16] <syrinx_> ^
[05:16] <raido> EClaesson: See that part of uname -a that says x86_64
[05:16] <raido> alamo
[05:16] <EClaesson> Sure, i know what that means :P
[05:16] <EClaesson> I've just been sure this is a 32-bit for two-three years
[05:16] <syrinx_> it means 64 bit
[05:16] <EClaesson> This is, embarrasing..
[05:16] <raido> That kernel only runs on a 64bit proc
[05:17] <landingonwater_> .. but with dual processors you get a 128 bit machine :P
[05:17] <raido> No need to be embarassed, You can run a 32bit version if you want, but you are not at the moment
[05:18] <syrinx_> i run 32-bit on a 64-bit processor :-)
[05:18] <syrinx_> 64bit tech is still a bit buggy
[05:18] <EClaesson> raido: I know i can. The problem is that i just been so sure it's a 32-bit. And i know my way around computers..
[05:18] <landingonwater_> hmm...if I install Peppermint next to ubuntu 10.10 and vista, will peppermint then overwrite the Grub ??
[05:19] <raido> EClaesson: LOL, so, for all the naysayers that poopoo 64bit Linux as not ready, you just proved them all FOS

[05:28] <raido> jont2383: Youre gettin your $$$ worth
[05:28] <EClaesson> dustin: I have no experience at all with tor :( But generally if it's C there should be a makefile you can run via make in the terminal
[05:28] <jont2383> yeah... mac's i'm afraid are not cost wise for getting a newer version lol paid like 3400 for this when i first bought

[05:33] <jont2383> on my rack servers that is
[05:33] <raido> jont2383: jont2383 I run NetBSD too and just like Linux better
[05:34] <familiar> hello
[05:34] <jont2383> yes i do like the Linux betters
[05:34] <syrinx_> BSD isn't linux?
[05:34] <jont2383> BSd is linux just a differnt flavor
[05:35] <rww> BSD is not Linux.
[05:35] <jont2383> !BSD
[05:35] <familiar> I think it is
[05:35] <rww> Perhaps you mean UNIX.
[05:35] <syrinx_> rww: UNIX variant
[05:35] <syrinx_> ?
[05:35] <raido> syrinx_: no, not really even that close, closer than windows but still quite different
[05:35] <jont2383> yes yes UNIX
[05:36] <syrinx_> so it's its own seperate entity
[05:36] <jont2383> i would say its in the *nix family
[05:36] <rww> anyways, #ubuntu technical support, #ubuntu-offtopic, general discussion, etc.
[05:36] <jont2383> but different
[05:36] <jont2383> ?
[05:36] <raido> syrinx_: there are many "BSD"s
[05:36] <vivid> its posix compliant
[05:36] <vivid> so its a *nix and it has linux compatibility
[05:37] <hiexpo> dustin, i know ther eis stuff out there and debian actually has a tor distro and i have it installed on my ubuntu 10.04 and i found out how by googling it but ubuntu has a policy not to google  so i can not tell you to google it    >   but i used used install tor in ubuntu 10.04 in a goole search and it poped right up    >
[05:37] <jont2383> Vivid : wiki it...
[05:37] <raido> vivid: not really Linux compatible in the way your thinking
[05:37] <vivid> it has linux compatibility via kernel module and rpm libraries
[05:37] <syrinx_> I've been looking into running something "lighter" than ubuntu on a few servers, should I give BSD a shot?
[05:38] <jont2383> look up FreeBSD for servers
[05:38] <raido> syrinx_: most BSDs are not "light"
[05:38] <rww> Okay, fine, I will use comprehensible sentences. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other discussions.
[05:38] <vivid> syrinx_, if youre running a server....yes, if you want any type of desktop or workstation, no
[05:38] <syrinx_> vivid: command line is well enough for me
[05:38] <jont2383> vivid move this over to offtopic plese
[05:38] <xpn57> freebsd?
[05:38] <jont2383> anyone in this bsd discussion move over to offtopic
[05:38] <jont2383> and we can continue
[05:38] <syrinx_> yea, lets go to offtopic
[05:39] <xpn57> okay
[05:39] <litropy> Where do I find tutorials for Nux?
[05:40] <hiexpo> litropy, what is nux?
[05:40] <litropy> hiexpo, Nux is replacing mutter.
[05:41] <DarkSector> hello, I have tried to create a new partition, but unfortunately there were already 4 primary partitions, So, I deleted swap and now I have 2 sets of unallocated memory, Here's what I want to Know: 1) how to club those two together 2) how to create an extended partition and have partitions within it 3) if not possible (for the first and second) how to club these two back into my original drive.

[05:44] <tonnez> why is my Core i7 ubuntu server have a i686 kernel?
[05:44] <ader10> How do I preview an image instead of opening it in another program with the keyboard in konqueror?
[05:44] <tonnez> can i convert this?
[05:45] <ericy> DarkSector: You can use the GUI tool in ubuntu; Admin menu find: gparted
[05:47] <ericy> DarkSector: Tell me: Is your hdd full of data -OR- can you start out with an empty hdd.
[05:47] <tuxbox> can anyone help me install a custom version of LIRC with a phillips srm7500 remote

[05:48] <mmm4m5m> Hi. This is the clamd.conf file I got after update clamav (ubuntu hardy): http://pastebin.com/KDdgRedy  . I had custom config file, I selected "do not keep, override with config from package". Looks like, there are errors at lines: 51, 52, 53, 54
[05:48] <ericy> _DarkSector: You can use the GUI tool in ubuntu; Admin menu find: gparted

[05:49] <ericy> _DarkSector: Tell me: Is your hdd full of data -OR- can you start out with an empty hdd.
[05:49] <_DarkSector> ericy, I _am_ using gparted and my hdd is full
[05:49] <DarkSector> ericy,
[05:50] <hiexpo> mmm4m5m, try channel #clamav maybe
[05:50] <ericy> _DarkSector: I ask that because it is more work when you already have existing data..
[05:50] <DarkSector> ericy, I got nothing but time and data :D
[05:50] <mmm4m5m> ﻿hiexpo; it is mostly bug, but I am not sure... but in config or clamav package
[05:51] <ericy> _DarkSector: Can you send to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com  a printout of..
[05:52] <ericy> _DarkSector: of your partition map.   Can you use a terminal to run a command?
[05:52] <ericy> _DarkSector: Do:  sfdisk -l
[05:53] <DarkSector> ericy, sure, and you might want to lose the underscore, its DarkSector now :D
[05:53] <ericy> DarkSector: Do:  sfdisk -l  and copy the output and post it on http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
[05:54] <DarkSector> ericy,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/581938/
[05:55] <ericy> DarkSector: Looking..

[05:55] <DarkSector> *sure
[05:55] <rzx237> what makes ejabberd failed to run after echoing many dots?
[05:56] <ericy> DarkSector: I see you have a 250GB hdd...
[05:57] <DarkSector> ericy, ja
[05:57] <ericy> DarkSector: ... and are you trying to make a dual boot with windows
[05:59] <DarkSector> ericy, its already a dual boot system, I am trying to install a third kernel, for LFS
[06:00] <ericy> DarkSector: It would help if you could tell me the sizes (GB) of your 4 existing partition areas?
[06:00] <ralnaemi> Are there any steps I have to take after installing kubuntu-desktop in order to use KDE?
[06:01] <ericy> DarkSector: And I don't understand: Are wanting to make tripple boot of 2 linuxes and 1 Windows XP?
[06:02] <ericy> DarkSector: It would help if you could tell me the sizes (GB) of your 4 existing partition areas?
[06:02] <ericy> DarkSector: And I don't understand: Are wanting to make tripple boot of 2 linuxes and 1 Windows XP?
[06:03] <DarkSector> ericy, /dev/sda1 74gb   /dev/sda2 73gb   /dev/sda3 78 gb         I am trying to make a new journaling file system partition, the installation comes later
[06:04] <DarkSector> ericy,  right now my objective is to club the unallocated space and make a new partition, with swap
[06:04] <raido> tonnez: still there?
[06:04] <DarkSector> ericy, lemme give you a screenshot for my gparted, that'll be clear 'nuff
[06:05] <ericy> DarkSector: Yes that's exactly as I wanted, but was afraid to ask.
[06:05] <DarkSector> lol @ afraid to ask
[06:06] <DarkSector> ericy, http://img97.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1ht.png/
[06:07] <ericy> DarkSector: (What I mean was I don't know where you would post the sshot. My client is not setup yet to receive DCC photos [unless maybe I just open..[]])
[06:07] <kaushal> hi
[06:07] <kaushal> Any good apps for task/event available in Ubuntu ?
[06:07] <ericy> DarkSector: Looking..
[06:07] <kaushal> I mean task reminder
[06:07] <DarkSector> ericy, yeah imma use an independent website like imageshack
[06:08] <ericy> DarkSector: OK, looking..
[06:08] <DarkSector> kaushal, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/category/app/ I think the first app should do the trick
[06:09] <raido> DarkSector: I know your working on a solution, however, just quick piece of advice. If you are going to be doing the whole LFS thing, I highly suggest you do it on a seperate HD or in a VM. You will be going through some annoying grub gyrations till you get the LFS install running properly. Just a heads up.
[06:10] <Da|Mummy> how do i enable ssl connections to usenet on ubuntu?
[06:10] <DarkSector> raido, good advice, I should just concentrate on making a partition though, I have unallocated spaces in my hdd, I was thinking of clubbing them together atleast, I'll do this on an external partition
[06:10] <ericy> DarkSector: Oh, I see you have a total of about 8GB unalloted (from 3 areas).
[06:10] <DarkSector> ericy, correct, the highlighted one was my swap until recently :D
[06:13] <raido> DarkSector: You free space in non contiguous, you cant combine them into one partition, you have to use it separately or you can use LVM in linux to use it like its all one space.
[06:14] <ericy> DarkSector: So, I have used gparted many times, I have up to 10 partitions on my hdd.  But I don't know what the LKS (or whatever) is.  You can move partitions using gparted OR ...
[06:14] <ericy> DarkSector: (But it takes many many hours to move such big partitions!)
[06:16] <ericy> DarkSector: OR  you could copy them (faster) from present hdd to a new 250GB HDD (faster and you have a backup! at the same time!

[06:17] <DarkSector> ericy, sorry about that, some guy's messing with the college network, stupid DOS attacks
[06:17] <DarkSector> ericy, it took me 20 minutes
[06:17] <DarkSector> last night
[06:17] <ericy> DarkSector: What took 20min?
[06:18] <DarkSector> ericy, to shift data and to create a 4 Gig partition from a 78 gig partition resizing etc.
[06:18] <AndroUser> yo guys
[06:18] <AndroUser> one weird question, anyone using irc on android?
[06:19] <AndroUser> anybody?!
[06:19] <ericy> DarkSector: You mean you resized a 78G partition, shrinking it by 4GB?
[06:19] <DarkSector> ericy, yes
[06:19] <DarkSector> now I want to undo it
[06:19] <DarkSector> and create my swap back
[06:20] <ericy> OK. But I'm talking about gparted MOVING a 70GB partition ... that's REALLY slow.
[06:20] <DarkSector> okay, but is that required here ?
[06:22] <ericy> DarkSector: We are having a communication problem, because I don't know what you have in your existing partitions...
[06:22] <DarkSector> ericy, okay can we please do it on a private message ? I don't like cluttering the main channel
[06:33] <pooky> Can anyone recommend a calendar application, preferabbly gtk, that can subscribe to ics type calendar?
[06:33] <pooky> preferably even.
[06:38] <DarkSector> hello, here's the problem I am facing http://img97.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1ht.png/ I need to revert the 5 gig unallocated memory to /dev/sda2 and use the 1.8 gig allocated memory as swap
[06:38] <DarkSector> how do I go about doing that ?
[06:38] <Aquaguy> Hello folks
[06:38] <Aquaguy> anyone knows what's the name of the mysql developer package?
[06:38] <Aquaguy> I need to download it from apt-get
[06:38] <researcher1> I want 2 make available all installed programs of Maverick 10.10 to Lynx 10.04. Is it possible without separate  downloading?
[06:39] <ejv> DarkSector: if you used LVM when setting up your filesystems, you can allocate that spare 5G, if you didn't... it can't really be done
[06:39] <ejv> (not elegantly)
[06:39] <DarkSector> ejv, LVM ?
[06:39] <raido> researcher1: they will be different versions
[06:39] <ejv> logical volume management
[06:40] <DarkSector> ejv, I just used ubuntu's default partition manager, I don't remember if I used LVM
[06:40] <ejv> you would know if you did because it's a more advanced configuration, so you probably didn't
[06:41] <researcher1> raido: but will the same programs be accessible to Lynx 10.04 if I dontwant to download . Downloading will take too long a time
[06:41] <rww> plus the desktop/live CD doesn't support partitioning as LVM
[06:41] <DarkSector> ejv, probably, its wierd though, I can allocated this in Windows
[06:41] <DarkSector> rww, gotcha
[06:41] <amh345> is there a way to prevent gnomes desktop going to a locked screen while rhythmBox is playing?
[06:41] <raido> researcher1: You wouldnt what to do that, the packages will break things because many of them will be different versions.
[06:42] <amh345> it's maddening leaving it for a few minutes and having to enter my p/w to sip a song.
[06:42] <pythoned> Hi, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and need to keep unfortunately windows in virtual machine. My question is, it is possible to get my ubuntu compromised while running windows in virtual box?(but not having wine installed).
[06:42] <ejv> rww, didn't know what, only used ubuntu server, darksector, what you could try doing is rsyncing or dding 'large' portions of your OS to the spare space, stuff like /var, /tmp, /opt tends to be heavier, and then adjust your mounting scheme in /etc/fstab accordingly, YMMV.
[06:42] <ericy> DarkSector: You have to gparted "resize"--shift that big 73GB partition which will take MANY hours (it will have to move or shift 73 GB of data 'up').
[06:42] <DarkSector> ejv, good option
[06:42] <researcher1> raido: ok.Lomg downloads seems unavoidable for 10.04 saperately
[06:42] <DarkSector> ericy, hmm, not an option
[06:42] <DarkSector> I should try doing this from windows
[06:42] <ericy> .
[06:43] <ejv> pythoned: possible, of course. likely? not so much.
[06:43] <raido> researcher1: If you upgrade to 10.04 to 10.10, then you can do it, because you will have 2 10.10 installs. Then in the future you can save by only downloading once
[06:44] <researcher1> raido: presently Im on 10.10 can I downgrade to 10.04?
[06:44] <bazhang> researcher1, no
[06:44] <ejv> no, and even if you could, it wouldn't be recommended at all.
[06:45] <bazhang> !downgrade > researcher1
[06:45] <researcher1> then to have all earlier applications of 10.10 available on 10.04 will require doing what?
[06:45] <ejv> what?
[06:45] <bazhang> researcher1, such as what apps
[06:46] <pythoned> ejv,  And another thing, is it possible to get my router infected if let's say I have an infected machine that connects to the router? I'm talking about it's firmware..
[06:46] <researcher1> GIS,GRASS,Scilab, octave, Qcad almost all my engineering application which need long time to download
[06:47] <researcher1> also kile,latex,gcompiz, etc
[06:47] <ejv> doesn't ubuntu store the binaries in a local cache somewhere
[06:47] <ejv> why not copy them to a usb stick or something...
[06:48] <raido> ejv: Because he has packages for one version that he wants to use on another. Not reccomended
[06:48] <kaushal> is there a reminder in tasque ?
[06:48] <tonnez> why is my Core i7 ubuntu server have a i686 kernel?
[06:48] <tonnez> can i convert this?
[06:49] <dejan_> I have probems watching videos in  the browser
[06:49] <kaushal> like a pop up or some sort of alert
[06:49] <raido> tonnez: no. you need to reinstall the entire OS
[06:49] <dejan_> i did some command guy here told me and  since then i have problems
[06:49] <ejv> raido: ah, im late to the conversation apparently.
[06:49] <Leakin> yes hello does the latest ubuntu have support for MSI installers
[06:49] <ejv> tonnez: if it's working you could just enable PAE and not break something that's fixed :p
[06:50] <rww> tonnez: because you installed Ubuntu 32-bit. You can't go from 32-bit to 64-bit without a reinstall.
[06:50] <raido> ejv: np, technically its possible but all the stuff he has there is bound to have newer packages
[06:50] <ejv> it's prolly hit or miss with unknown scientific/academic software *shrug*
[06:50] <dejan_> i had problems when I watched videos in fullscreen they had white flshes so one guy here on #ubuntu told me to execute terminal command and fter that sometimes I can watch videos in browser but sometimes no
[06:50] <pythoned> Leakin,  It will never have such things, google for "WINEHQ"
[06:50] <tonnez> ejv, rrw: 2.6.35-25-generic (SMP) i686
[06:50] <tonnez> i'm assuming that is not good for i7
[06:50] <tonnez> how do i enable PAE?
[06:51] <tonnez> apache will not benefit from PAE will it?
[06:51] <bazhang> tonnez, install linux-generic-pae
[06:51] <raido> tonnez: do you want PAE to access more ram?
[06:51] <ejv> would require compiling a new kernel if your memory isn't already fully addressed, or using a precompiled image
[06:51] <Leakin> pythoned what if we petition the developers to include MSI support
[06:51] <Leakin> for easier microsoft integration
[06:51] <pythoned> Leakin,  MSI is proprietary...
[06:51] <tonnez> raido: my server only has 4gb
[06:51] <ejv> i think tonnez doesn't know what PAE is.. lol
[06:51] <bazhang> !brainstorm > Leakin
[06:52] <rww> Leakin: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not your personal amusement. Find somewhere else to troll.
[06:52] <raido> tonnez: why do you think yo need it
[06:52] <dejan_> any help?
[06:52] <tonnez> raido: im just trying to figure out if apache will benefit
[06:52] <tonnez> pae = physical address extension
[06:52] <tonnez> i.e. 64bit
[06:52] <raido> tonnez: no, it wont.
[06:52] <tonnez> okay, then i guess i don't need it ;)
[06:52] <ejv> pae != 64bit
[06:52] <tonnez> thanks :)
[06:52] <raido> tonnez: you dont need it.
[06:53] <raido> ejv: there are PAE 32bit kernels
[06:53] <ejv> i know
[06:53] <tonnez> oh pae is only for 4gb>
[06:53] <tonnez> i see
[06:53] <ejv> im just saying that calling a memory allocation extension feature '64bit' is awfully negligent
[06:54] <raido> ejv: gotcha
[06:54] <dejan_> I have probems watching videos in  the browser
[06:54] <dejan_> i did some command guy here told me and  since then i have problems
[06:54] <dejan_> i had problems when I watched videos in fullscreen they had white flshes so one guy here on #ubuntu told me to execute terminal command and fter that sometimes I can watch videos in browser but sometimes no
[06:54] <FloodBot1> dejan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:54] <Aquaguy> how can I create an alias of a folder and place it inside of /var/www/ ?
[06:54] <tonnez> ejv: no need to flame the ignorant
[06:55] <airtonix> Aquaguy: man ln
[06:55] <ejv> not flaming, educating.
[06:55] <airtonix> ejv: some people take offense at being educated
[06:55] <airtonix> or 'edecated'
[06:56] <tonnez> ejv: wikipedia educated me, you said the following: "i think tonnez doesn't know what PAE is.. lol" and "pae != 64bit" and "...calling a memory allocation extension feature '64bit' is awfully negligent"
[06:56] <dejan_> why you dont help me?
[06:56] <tonnez> airtonix: ^
[06:56]  * tonnez sighs
[06:56] <ejv> i doubt you'll see any noticeable performance gain moving to x86_64 from i686, it's likely more hassle than it's worth
[06:57] <raido> dejan_: relax friend, I suggest you make sure you have the flashplugin installed rather that the gnash plugin
[06:57] <Aquaguy> airtonix, thank you, worked like a charm
[06:57] <dejan_> browser evenn cant load pges with videos
[06:58] <ejv> now if you had 32gb of available addresable space, I wouldn't recommend PAE because of the overhead, that's when a 64bit change would be a worthwhile ordeal.
[06:58] <dejan_> it loads them veeeery slow
[06:58] <dejan_> Rains: how to check
[06:59] <airtonix> Aquaguy: the other way you can do it is to use the --bind function of mount ( which overcomes limitations imposed by soft symlinks)
[07:00] <airtonix> Aquaguy: or you could rebase the /var/www (and it's associated /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default to have a document root of /var/www/default/public_html/, then put your new content at /var/www/VIRTUALHOSTNAME/public_html/ and create a name based vhost def file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/VIRTUALHOSTNAME
[07:01] <airtonix> Aquaguy: depends on what you want to achieve really
[07:02] <dejan_> Rains: how to check
[07:05] <litropy> I have downloaded all the files at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/nux/trunk/files/head:/examples/ and am now trying to compile. Any ideas?
[07:05] <rww> !crossposting | litropy
[07:05] <dejan_> teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel me
[07:05] <bazhang> dejan_, patience
[07:05] <litropy> sorry, rww. I'll be sure so ship you some high quality oil :D
[07:05] <dejan_> i have wait 20 min how much more?
[07:06] <rww> !patience
[07:06] <bazhang> dejan_, check in your package manager
[07:06] <dejan_> ok
[07:07] <litropy> it's weird. the directory doesn't confain the files seemingly necessary for autoconf
[07:10] <litropy> I got it - the configure.ac was in the parent directory
[07:13] <_antant> um, where do I find my smb.conf? I thought it was /etc/ but when I gedit it it's blank
[07:14] <sidh> Greetings
[07:14] <alkisg> Hi. Am I correct in that newer Ubuntu versions don't support floppy disks out of the box, and to get support for them, one would need to manually install the fdutils package?
[07:14] <_antant> hi
[07:14] <yurimxpxman> How can I find out what wireless adapter model I'm using?
[07:15] <sidh> I have installed a theme for ubuntu , and I would like to copy that theme for others users , which directory do I have to copy ?
[07:15] <Cork> yurimxpxman: should be listed in lshw
[07:16] <_antant> Hey Cork. Should my smb.conf not be in /etc/ ?
[07:17] <raido> alkisg: Im pretty sure you will have floppy support on a default install
[07:17] <Evildaemon> How is the mouse controlled in linux? (I need to know so I can attempt to write a script that will control it with the arrow keys, thank you in advance, and if this already exists I'd be happy to use it.)
[07:17] <_antant> service is running fine, but I need to wiggle around some valid/invalid users
[07:17] <_antant> and it seems to have fled
[07:17] <alkisg> raido: on some cases I didn't have /dev/fd0, and I needed to `modprobe floppy` to get those. But I'm not sure in which cases that happens.
[07:17] <raido> _antant: /etc/samba/

[07:18] <raido> alkisg: Prolly, in those cases the floppy kernel module was blacklisted by default.
[07:19] <alkisg> raido: but when does this happen? Does ubiquity blacklist it, based on floppy availability upon installation?
[07:19] <raido> alkisg: IDK
[07:19] <alkisg> raido: thank you though
[07:19] <raido> alkisg: np
[07:19] <ChrisBuchholz> Hello guys. I was wondering if there exist a better driver MacBook touchpad/trackpad than what is set up default on ubuntu? I was trying out Touchégg and creating a file like described here https://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/ConfigureDevices And that actually gave me a "better feeling" trackpad experience - it seemed to respond more like on OS X. No lost selections and failty clicks. I lost multitouch though so i reverted it.
[07:20] <GeneralK> Anyone able to offer a bit of advice on how to mount an NTFS partition on an gpt partitioned drive? So far I am having no lucj,
[07:20] <robbiethe1st> I've got some odd performance issues with OpenGL, Would anyone mind taking a look at this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10569583
[07:20] <GeneralK> luck, rather.
[07:21] <alkisg> Evildaemon: you can control the mouse from a script with this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/xte
[07:21] <Evildaemon> Thank you
[07:21] <raido> GeneralK: whats gpt?
[07:23] <raido> htop
[07:23] <GeneralK> raido, It seems to be the type of partition table that Windows 7 uses.
[07:23]  * raido oops
[07:25] <raido> GeneralK: So you have a ntfs partition that you want to use in Linux
[07:25] <GeneralK> raido, Yes. According to parted, it's the number 2 partition on /dev/sda
[07:26] <MichealH> GeneralK, Does it show up in the Places menu? You want to open the ntfs partition?
[07:26] <raido> GeneralK: so make a mount point in /media, like "sudo mkdir /media/ntfsdrive"
[07:27] <GeneralK> MichealH, No, not in the places menu.
[07:27] <_antant> ok, how do allow a network user to delete files off a share?
[07:28] <GeneralK> raido, Yep, done...
[07:28] <MichealH> _antant, Im not familiar with Linux networking but I beleive "sudo chmod 777 file.file"can do the trick on the file
[07:28] <raido> GeneralK: now do "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/ntfsdrive"
[07:28] <MichealH> 777 = anyone an read wite delete and excecute
[07:29] <GeneralK> raido, I tried that before... /dev/sda2 does not exist
[07:29] <raido> You said it was #2 on sda
[07:29] <GeneralK> Yep
[07:30] <GeneralK> that is what parted says
[07:30] <raido> GeneralK: Guess not then
[07:30] <raido> what does "sudo fdisk -l" say
[07:30] <qkit> Generalk: if you run fdisk -ll how many partition appear?
[07:31] <GeneralK> qkit, raido : The output is long... what is that website where I can dump the output & give you a url?
[07:31] <Lancelot> Does anyone know of a good resource that I can use to learn about the linux shell and how to use terminal?
[07:31] <_antant> ok, I've made my network user have the main group of the user that owns the folder. That should work, no?
[07:32] <MichealH> It should do
[07:32] <raido> GeneralK: paste.ubuntu.com
[07:33] <GeneralK> raido, qkit : http://paste.ubuntu.com/581956/
[07:33] <_antant> how about adding create/directory mask = 0770 to my conf?
[07:34] <Diverdude> ehhhh is there something wrong with ubuntus update servers? I am downloading with ~7 kb/s from it
[07:35] <qkit> Ouch, the wifi here are damn slow....
[07:35] <_antant> Woohoo! That's done it
[07:36] <qkit> Raido, you mange to load the page? i getting timeout here. :(
[07:37] <raido> GeneralK: You have 4 HDs?
[07:38] <GeneralK> raido, Well, there are 2 'raid arrays'. The first is made up of 4 and the second is just one 1 tb hdd.
[07:39] <raido> GeneralK: Is the ntfs partition on a raid volume
[07:40] <_antant> Huh. Can I take ownership of my external ntfs drive away from root?
[07:42] <GeneralK> raido, Well, I think the system might see it as one. Technically it isn't, it's just 1 HD. Check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/581964/ for the output from parted.
[07:43] <raido> GeneralK: now do "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda /media/ntfsdrive"
[07:43] <schinken> morning
[07:44] <GeneralK> raido, NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sda': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sda' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
[07:44] <schinken> I've installed a package with dpkg -i --force-depends yesterday (because i dont need the dependencys (and i dont have em)) - but now, i cant update my system anymore - because of a broken package. Any idea?
[07:45] <raido> GeneralK: try 1 sda1
[07:45] <Softdroid> Hello
[07:46] <GeneralK> raido, Same as before now... sda1 no such file or directory
[07:46] <Softdroid> I there any other software for Ubuntu for playing swf beside Gnash player?
[07:46] <Softdroid> Is
[07:46] <Fuchs> Softdroid: vlc and mplayer should be able to (not interactivly) play it, else you can watch them in a browser with the adobe flash plugin
[07:47] <raido> GeneralK: Ok, last try, use /dev/dm-0p1
[07:47] <Softdroid> Fuchs: Thanks for your replay. I need a player so I can rewind or forward the movie
[07:47] <cong06> Has anyone here experienced an RSA key change based entirely on an ISP restructure? ie: would an ISP restructure cause a RSA key change over ssh? SSH gives me a warning if the IP changed and the RSA key changed. and this time both have changed. the IP changing is normal. the IP address is dynamic after all... I'm just not sure if I should be worried or not. I realize it's more likely a hardware issue than someone actually being malicious, but I don't want to t
[07:48] <GeneralK> raido, Yeah, I also tried that before... still the same, does not exist :-/
[07:48] <raido> GeneralK: Im lost. Sorry buddy.
[07:48] <Fuchs> Softdroid: try vlc or mplayer
[07:49] <Starminn> Is there an app or a plugin for a media player that will show you the lyrics of the current song playing? For example, Windows Media Player has the option, and so do iPods while something is playing, so is there a pugin or something I could use? Even a separate app dedicated solely to the purpose of showing you a song's lyrics? (I'm using Banshee but others are fine)
[07:49] <Softdroid> Fuchs: vlc can't play the files. But I will try mplayer. Thanks
[07:49] <GeneralK> raido, Ah well. Buggered if I know either. Very frustrating :-/ Thanks for trying though.
[07:50] <raido> GeneralK: np, BTW see this on GPT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
[07:51] <qkit> GeneralK: how about running this command "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda /media/ntfsdrive"
[07:51] <raido> cong06: Your key didnt change, there is just a mismatch between the hash for the IP you had before and the one you have now. Just delete the line in ~/.ssh/known_hosts that contains the old IP reference
[07:52] <GeneralK> qkit, Same response as when we tried before with just the ntfs argument :-/
[07:52] <cong06> raido: except it's set to warn me only if the IP and the RSA key changed.
[07:53] <raido> Are you logging in via ssh keys without a password
[07:53] <cong06> raido: or are you saying that the key is based on the ip? that doesn't make any sense because the ip changes constantly, and this is hte first time I saw it.
[07:53] <cong06> yeah. without a password. auto-logging in: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152
[07:53] <raido> cong06: Are you logging in via ssh keys without a password
[07:53] <Diverdude> ehhhh is there something wrong with ubuntus update servers? I am downloading with ~7 kb/s from it
[07:54] <raido> Did it log you in after the warning
[07:54] <cong06> no.
[07:54] <raido> cong06: can you copy the output and paste it
[07:55] <cong06> raido: to the chat? or do you want me to send it to your PM?
[07:55] <_antant> Can I set the owner of a mount in fstab?
[07:55] <raido> cong06: to paste.ubuntu.com
[07:55] <GeneralK> qkit, It's really annoying. Even in gdisk it is visible as partition 2 on /dev/sda
[07:56] <qkit> GeneralK: if you run "sudo blkid /dev/sda2", what you get?
[07:56] <cong06> raido: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581965/
[07:56] <GeneralK> qkit, Nothing at all.
[07:57] <qkit> GeneralK: how about run it on /dev/sda ?
[07:57] <eristikophiles> ok this might sound dumb but why might the command "./configure --prefix=/usr" not be working?
[07:57] <GeneralK> qkit, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda /media/ntfsdrive
[07:57] <GeneralK> oops
[07:58] <raido> cong06: Its like I said, delete line 2 in your known_hosts file, then youre ok
[07:58] <GeneralK> qkit,  /dev/sda: TYPE="nvidia_raid_member"
[07:58] <eristikophiles> also, the source package i got has everything with a .bin extension for some reason. it's for "debian"
[07:58] <cong06> thanks raido.
[07:59] <raido> np, you understand now?
[07:59] <qkit> GeneralK, The ntfs partition is riding on top of a hardware raid?
[08:00] <GeneralK> qkit, Yeah, ther's a raid controller in the mobo. My main HD is a raid array
[08:00] <eristikophiles> ok nm .. i found a .deb installer file
[08:00] <eristikophiles> ;p
[08:01] <Guest73740>  Guest73740

[08:05] <GeneralK> gaaaah
[08:05] <ericy> Guest73740: Do you mean in IRC or in your Ubuntu install?
[08:06] <qkit> Generalk: in the /var/log/messages, do you spot any unsual error? when you run that command?
[08:06] <qkit> or it cna be trace under dmesg also
[08:06] <qkit> s/cna/can
[08:07] <Guest73740> yes in IRC
[08:07] <Guest73740> ericy
[08:07] <GeneralK> qkit, Nah, nothing. I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the raid though
[08:08] <_antant> When I try and chown an ntfs usb drive mounted in fstab from root won't let me. It doesn't give me an error it just doesn't do it. Is there a way I can take ownership?
[08:08] <ericy> Guest73740: Do: /nick yournewnick
[08:08] <researcher1> I want to customize liveCD with my personal logo made as .jpg file. How can that be done?

[08:11] <shark1> Thank you
[08:11] <Starminn> Softdroid: YOu mean File/Edit/View/Tools/Help stuff?
[08:11] <ericy> shark1: OK.  Try: /help
[08:12] <shark1> shark was someone ,shark1 is my name
[08:12] <Softdroid> Starminn: Yes, for example when i'm using Openoffice word
[08:12] <Guest78044> do you know if certain font types are easier to read or make the reader more susceptible to convincing?
[08:12] <GeneralK> qkit, ericy : See, the drive also seems to show up as /dev/dm-0
[08:13] <Starminn> Softdroid: Certain apps (just by the way they're made) don't play well with various color schemes. For example, Firefox and OpenOffice/LibreOffice are notorious culprits for misbehaving with dark themes.
[08:13] <Softdroid> Starminn: Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to change the themes?
[08:13] <Starminn> Softdroid: While I've seen some fixes every so often I've never tried any of them because to get the normal white back it looks like you'd have to edit it by hand again. I could find them if you want, ubt in general the rule of thumb here is "Don't use dark themes if you need those menus."
[08:14] <Starminn> Softdroid: I'm talking about system themes, which is what you've done to get that to happen.
[08:14] <Starminn> Softdroid: System->Preferences->Appearance
[08:14] <qkit> Generalk: hmm...try to mount using /dev/dm-0p1 rather then the sda
[08:15] <shark1> Thank you  ericy  I'm trying ubuntu
[08:15] <Starminn> Softdroid: The ones that come default should be fine but some you get from GNOME-Look may not play so well.
[08:15] <Softdroid> Starminn: The menus are unreadable but when I move the mouse over the items its readable again. Is that the problem you are talking about?
[08:16] <Starminn> Softdroid: Yep.
[08:16] <Softdroid> Starminn: I don't use dark theme, but I have changed the theme
[08:16] <GeneralK> qkit, Again, there's nothing other than dm-0 there's no dm-01 etc.
[08:16] <Softdroid> Starminn: How can I change the theme back to default?
[08:17] <ericy> shark1: good luck to you. Have fun.
[08:17] <Starminn> Softdroid: http://imagebin.org/143654 and to change themes just go to System->Preferences->Appearance and choose one.
[08:18] <qkit> Generalk: but your gparted show that the /dev/dm-0p1 is available? but when you run the mount command. It return no such partition?
[08:19] <Softdroid> Starminn: Thanks. You are using dark theme :)
[08:19] <GeneralK> qkit, Oh, cool... there's a gui for parted. :P
[08:19] <shark1> ericy: I'm learning programming
[08:19] <ericy> GeneralK: (I might be joining your conversation/problem very late) but if you can do command line, what do   sfdisk -l     blkid    and    df -h show?
[08:19] <shark1> do you like it
[08:19] <Starminn> Softdroid: Another thing to take ntoe of is when using dark themes (mine doesn't do it because it's a white foreground but the ones that are *really* dark) the icons go into "high contrast" mode in Open/Libre Office.
[08:20] <qkit> :)
[08:20] <ericy> GeneralK:    sfdisk -l      blkid    and    df -h show?
[08:20] <Starminn> Softdroid: Yes, I am. I use Firefox 4 Beta though so the only apps I can't read well are LibreOffice and the logout/Sht Down button
[08:20] <Softdroid> Starminn: Ok, thanks for the info
[08:20] <Starminn> Softdroid: I deal with it. ;) Lol.
[08:20] <GeneralK> ericy, I'll paste dump it all, hold one...
[08:20] <qkit> Generalk: also the ls /dev/mapper ? anything show up?
[08:21] <ericy> GeneralK:  That's 3 separate commands:  sfdisk -l       blkid         df -h
[08:21] <Starminn> Anybody have suggestions for making my media player work again without not responding shortly after launch? This is the error I receive. I installed a plugin for Banshee and now it's doing this. How can I restore it to before the plugin? http://pastebin.com/qCgBycLg
[08:23] <qkit> ericy: i believe sfdisk cant read gpt partition. His NTFS file system run on a gpt partition
[08:23] <GeneralK> ericy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/581971/
[08:24] <_antant> qkit / ericy, you seem to be the people to ask. I'm trying to get write access over samba to a usb hdd mounted in fstab. I've tried change owner from root but it won't let me. Do you know of a way to do it?

[08:35] <Sonne> pbear, the git-tree would be the most bleeding edge kernel i'd guess, apt-get would get you the ubuntu patched sources, and kernel.org would get you the lastest stable kernel without patches
[08:36] <ethanol> Starminn: uninstall the plugin?
[08:36] <Starminn> Yeah, how do I do that?
[08:36] <ethanol> Starminn: how did you install it?
[08:36] <Starminn> I navigated to it on my disk and deleted the file but it keeps coming back
[08:36] <Starminn> ethanol: Eh, the install.sh included in the package

[08:38] <Starminn> ethanol: Well I actually just purged Banshee, so if it doesn't work I'll let you know. ;)
[08:38] <Starminn> After I reinstalled it it still had the plugin after I killed the ./.config/banshee-1 folder
[08:38] <Starminn> Ho hum
[08:39] <Sonne> Starminn, if you installed the plugin locally, reinstalling banshee won't help
[08:39] <Starminn> Sonne: After a nice little purge it still is doing it so yeah, I'm discovering that.
[08:39] <Sonne> that goes for everything else as well :)
[08:40] <Sonne> Starminn, if you don't mind reconfiguring it, you might as well just annihilate the configuration whole
[08:41] <Starminn> Sonne: I thought that's what purge did? remove+kill all configs. I tried hand-deleting the configs I could find in /home to no avail
[08:41] <Starminn> I really odn't mind, though. I mean I've already got a lot of hours of crap to do now from uninstalling so I actually would love to start fresh.

[08:46] <Sonne> did you run *install.sh* with sudo?
[08:46] <bazZ061> but which port ?
[08:46] <bazZ061> 902 or 22?
[08:46] <bazZ061> i have to forweard them also
[08:46] <bazZ061> on my router
[08:46] <Sonne> bazZ061, 22 is the standard port, i don't see why you wouldn't use it :)
[08:46] <gamemakingdude> Hi, i am having trouble of installing ubuntu 10.10 onto my usb.
[08:46] <Starminn> ethanol: Yeah, it's here. I'll delete it and let you know
[08:46] <ethanol> Starminn: though a simple sudo locate Banshee.Lyrics.dll should have given you all locations too
[08:47] <gamemakingdude> Whenever i install it, its the live cd
[08:47] <gamemakingdude> and not a proper version of ubuntu
[08:47] <bazZ061> ok port 22 i have to forward
[08:47] <bazZ061> and which command is it in ubuntu?
[08:47] <bazZ061> i didnt find anything @ google
[08:47] <Starminn> ethanol: "sudo locate Banshee.Lyrics.dll" didn't work even though I'm looking at the file
[08:47] <ethanol> bazhang: iptables for port forwarding
[08:47] <ethanol> Starminn: define "didn't work"
[08:47] <bazZ061> port forwarding is automated in my router
[08:48] <Starminn> ethanol: It returned nothing.
[08:48] <ethanol> Starminn: did you try a sudo updatedb ?
[08:48] <bazZ061> but i have to open the port in my ubuntu machine
[08:48] <Sonne> Starminn, follow me please - did you run the install.sh script with sudo?
[08:48] <gamemakingdude> Ignore me....
[08:48] <ethanol> gamemakingdude: ok :)
[08:49] <gamemakingdude> ...
[08:49] <Starminn> Sonne ethanol: It's working now. I just ran "sudo rm /usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.Lyrics.dll" and restarted Banshee. Voila, no issue.
[08:49] <Starminn> Sonne: Are we going to Candy Mountain? Sorry, anyway, yes, I did
[08:50] <ET-0nline> how do i install ssh is it sudo apt-get install ssh
[08:50] <Sonne> Starminn, i missed your candy mountain reference - nevertheless i'm glad you managed to remove it
[08:51] <Sonne> ET-0nline, definitely, yes
[08:51] <Sonne> ET-0nline, the client should be already there though - for the server you might want openssh-server
[08:51] <ET-0nline> sonne: and then if i want a user to connect to my ubuntu ssh how to do that
[08:51] <beer_brouwer> does anyone know a tool to create your own api?
[08:51] <Sonne> ET-0nline, create the user, give it a password, give your ip to your user
[08:51] <Starminn> Sonne: Ah. It was simply one of those lame YouTube videos that gained popularity through some process full of facepalms a few years ago. Old news now. I would link you but it's highly irrelevant. Basically, "YouTube garbage" is a nice summary.
[08:52] <Sonne> Starminn, noted
[08:52] <ET-0nline> how is it to add user is it sudo add user
[08:52] <Starminn> Sonne: Thanks for the help though. If you have time, care to tell me more of this "locate" command? I can see this being very useful.
[08:52] <ethanol> candy mountain was awesome
[08:52] <Sonne> ET-0nline, sudo adduser <username>
[08:52] <peetoon> Can anyone help me with my wireless card? It shows up on lshw but it doesn't seem to have a logical name.
[08:52] <ethanol> almost as awesome as romeo and juliet in leetspeak
[08:52] <Witeds> i have a question for any one experianced enough in ubuntu or any other linux destro and wifi. is there a way to make it so i can see if there is hiden ESSIDs around me ? my ds using dsorganize can see them i was wondering if i could get my pc to ?
[08:53] <Sonne> Starminn, periodically, your system stores a database of all the files you have on your disks (the update is done at some time during the night i believe)
[08:53]  * Starminn tries to prevent the lines of #ubuntu/#ubuntu-offtopic from crossing *cough*ethanol*cough*
[08:53] <Sonne> by launching "locate" you can query that database, and see where a file is
[08:53] <ethanol> Sonne: sudo updatedb
[08:53] <Gartral> Hello all, i'm trying too get pppd too run, but it appears i don't have a ppp_generic kernel module...
[08:53] <ethanol> :p
[08:53] <Starminn> Sonne: Ah. And what were you saying about updating said DB?
[08:53] <Starminn> ethanol: ah.
[08:53] <gamemakingdude> I have a problem with installing ubuntu on a usb and i do not want it to be the live version!
[08:54] <Sonne> ethanol, why do you tell me that?
[08:54] <ethanol> Sonne: it doens't have to be nightly, it can be at your will too
[08:54] <Sonne> ethanol, i was about to mention that - by default is nightly
[08:54] <schinken> I've installed a package with dpkg -i --force-depends yesterday (because i dont need the dependencys (and i dont have em)) - but now, i cant update my system anymore - because of a broken package. Any idea?
[08:54] <ethanol> gamemakingdude: google install ubuntu on usb
[08:55] <Sonne> schinken, dpkg -r <that_package_name>
[08:55] <gamemakingdude> I have
[08:55] <Starminn> gamemakingdude: What do you mean "Live version"?
[08:55] <ethanol> gamemakingdude: this is irc, not your local how-to multichapter channel
[08:55] <gamemakingdude> i've tried pen drive linux
[08:55] <bonjoyee> schinken: sudo apt-get install -f
[08:55] <gamemakingdude> Starminn: Live cd.
[08:56] <ethanol> gamemakingdude: then don't install the live version
[08:56] <gamemakingdude> ....
[08:56] <gamemakingdude> I'm not installing it
[08:56] <gamemakingdude> its the pendrive linux that does it
[08:56] <Starminn> gamemakingdude: So you want it to run as a mini computer on the USB? AFAIK the newer Ubuntus don't work on that? Most people go with Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux anyway, but the newer Ubuntus don't seem to be compatible with Pen Drive Linux according to their sit last I checked
[08:56] <Witeds> i guess thats a no to my question
[08:56] <Starminn> their site*
[08:57] <linux> hello
[08:57] <gamemakingdude> Then why is it included in the pendrivelinux list?
[08:57] <lathan_devers> ethanol, if you need a live usb linux I suggest http://www.slax.org/ Very lightweight and small
[08:58] <ethanol> I do not
[08:58] <Starminn> !usb | gamemakingdude (read the second link)
[08:58] <Starminn> gamemakingdude: Some of those might help?
[08:58] <schinken> Sonne: why remove? :/
[08:59] <schinken> i dont want to remove that package
[08:59] <Starminn> gamemakingdude: And yeah, I was thinking of the wrong program's site.
[08:59] <ct529> hi guys, I cannot play asf files on *ubuntu 10.10 .... I googled and searched but did not find a solution
[08:59] <ct529> can anyone help me?
[08:59] <schinken> its working as it is, but i cant resolve the dependencies
[08:59] <tensorpudding> what's an asf file?
[08:59] <gamemakingdude> So what ubuntu 8.04 only works on usbs?
[08:59] <researcher1> where are the .jpg files stored which give background to Ubuntu?
[09:00] <ct529> tensorpudding: it is a microsoft (£^£*%~&£$~!) multimedia file that is used by some internet radio streamers
[09:00] <ct529> tensorpudding: for example http://live1.interoutemediaservices.com/?id=632ecab2-c76f-49f6-8faf-2a99d13131d2
[09:00] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[09:00] <tensorpudding> ct529: tried using banshee?
[09:00] <Starminn> researcher1: /usr/share/backgrounds I believe.
[09:01] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[09:01] <Gartral> ct529: install ubuntu restrictred extras and banshee
[09:01] <Sonne> schinken, remove it, upgrade, reinstall it
[09:01] <Sonne> brb
[09:01] <ciphersson1> hi all
[09:01] <Starminn> researcher1: /usr/share is where most system-wide files for users are. S if it's not in your home folder, check there.
[09:01] <Starminn> So*
[09:01] <DJones> ct529: This looks like a plug in for XMMS2 http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/sound/xmms2-plugin-asf You should be able to install the plugin via synaptic and sounds like it'll help you to play .asf files
[09:01] <gamemakingdude> Most of the stuff on there is mostly for live stuff
[09:01] <ciphersson1> is there a certin way I should install ubuntu 10.10 on an intel ssd?
[09:01] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[09:02] <gamemakingdude> and not for mini computer
[09:02] <tensorpudding> venkatesh_: probably converts a 16bit int from little endian to whatever the cpu uses
[09:02] <ct529> Gartral: I have already installed them
[09:02] <Starminn> gamemakingdude:"This means that you can boot from a USB drive and keep customisations  such as keyboard layout, numlock, preferences, additional packages saved  on the drive. " What is lacking? That's what your desktop/laptop does.
[09:03] <Gartral> ciphersson1: i believe ubuntu will recognize the SSD and automatically disable journaling, and enable wear-leveling.
[09:03] <venkatesh_> thamk you Tensorpudding , do you have any link which as this information..
[09:03] <fedora_newb> is there a way to save settings in xchat, like the servers and rooms you have joined to come up next time you start xchat?
[09:03] <ciphersson1> us there a way to check?
[09:03] <tensorpudding> venkatesh_: try man 3 endian
[09:04] <schinken> Sonne: is there nothing else i can do? i need to install the vmware-view-client, but the version in the repro doesnt have PCoIP support - so i need to install the .dev
[09:04] <Starminn> fedora_newb: Have you asked in #xchat?
[09:04] <fedora_newb> I guess that would be a good start :P didn't know it had its own room, ty
[09:04] <fedora_newb> starminn
[09:04] <SnowmanX11> I need help for LibreOffice.Calc. How can you divide the text within a cell (no wrap) as you do it with MS Office Excel (ALT+Enter)?
[09:05] <Starminn> fedora_newb: Not a problem. Questions abotu XChat are very common around here. I don't use it so I can't help much. If somebody here knows they'll tell you, but usually not many use it
[09:05] <fedora_newb> kk
[09:05] <linux> hello~
[09:05] <venkatesh_> tensorpudding : Thank you for the information...
[09:06] <linux> e..can you speak chinese?
[09:06] <Starminn> !ch | linux
[09:06] <Starminn> Oops
[09:06] <Starminn> !chinese | linux
[09:07] <ericy> linux: What a very good nick you have. Did you register it, yet?
[09:07] <researcher1> I want a text to be floating for each background of Ubuntu.Actually the name of some holy diety
[09:07] <Starminn> ericy: +1 How he managed that I do not know
[09:07] <quietone> After logging out a user got a 'white screen of death', had to reboot and now can't get wifi up. SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
[09:07] <researcher1> I want a text to be floating for each background of Ubuntu.Actually the name of some holy diety. can it be done?
[09:08] <tensorpudding> researcher1: what do you mean by floating text?
[09:08] <Starminn> researcher1: I'd say you'd need to just add the text yourself in GIMP or whatever pleases you. It would be nice if you could make a transparent .gif which is what I think you want to overlay it all, but I don't see it happening
[09:08] <tensorpudding> you can edit the backgrounds to put in text
[09:09] <Diverdude> How is it exactly this groupon works? Is it a place where i can recommend cheap offers to my friends or what is it?
[09:09] <tensorpudding> there's also things which can paint on the background but that's a lot more painful
[09:09] <researcher1> tensorpudding: its the name of a diety writeen as .jpg image which I want to be visible for each  Ubuntu background
[09:09] <linux_> loco
[09:09] <Fripon> hi ! I would like to know if on Ubuntu Lucid, it's possible in KDM to have like in GDM the users who have an account in order to only click on the nickname and supply the password (because in KDM you have to type the entire nickname) ?
[09:09] <quietone> rfkill list shows wifi is hard and soft locked. unblock does not change that. there is no external switch on this machine
[09:09] <iceroot> Fripon: you can use gdm for kde if you want
[09:09] <Fripon> hoo?
[09:10] <linux__> I can not understdand
[09:10] <Starminn> researcher1: You want it to be a single image which automatically applies to all of them, right?
[09:11] <Starminn> researcher1: OR do you have just one background in particular in mind?
[09:11] <Gartral> Diverdude: severly OT
[09:11] <researcher1> STarminn:YES
[09:11] <researcher1> Starminn:I want same image to be applied to all backgrounds
[09:12] <Starminn> researcher1: Okay. While I'm sure there's probably some way to set the background control file (wherever that is) to load two images with one being dynamic and the other static, I wouldn't knnow where to even find it, hat to do with it once I have it, or if it will even work. Your best bet (and possibly only bet) is to just make a background with the text you want there as a separate file.
[09:13] <Starminn> researcher1: I like what you're trying to do, and if you want to try my earlier suggestion go for it as I see that as the only possible "hope" but I really wouldn't know what to tell you.
[09:13] <Diverdude> Gartral, come on, its ok
[09:13] <researcher1> Starminn:But I will have to edit each background and save it?
[09:14] <Starminn> Diverdude: Why is it that every time I'm on here somebody's lecturing you for being off-topic?
[09:14] <Starminn> researcher1: Yes. So, for example, open it up in GIMP and just add a text box there, save it as a different name (so you save the original) and set it as your background.
[09:14] <researcher1> Starminn:ok .workable idea.thanks
[09:15] <Diverdude> Starminn, Maybe you are just completely out of touch with reality mate
[09:15] <quietone> I've been trying what I can find in the forums. But still no wifi.
[09:16] <Starminn> researcher1: Sure thing. By the way, not sure if you know this or not, but backgrounds don't have to be in /usr/share/backgrounds to work. They can be anywhere. So to prevent accidentally overwriting stuff I'd save it in /home/yourUSERNAME/somewhere
[09:16] <ericy> fedora_newb: I am using XChat 2.8.8.  I will tell you that you can configure any servers and multiple channels to automatically open.
[09:16] <Starminn> Diverdude: In soviet Russia, reality touch you.
[09:16] <researcher1> starminn:OK
[09:16] <Starminn> :)
[09:16] <quietone> anyone able to help get wifi working?
[09:16] <Starminn> researcher1: Glad to help.
[09:17] <Starminn> !wifi | quietone
[09:17] <Gartral> Starminn: +1
[09:18] <Starminn> :)
[09:19] <Michael-farsight> hi everyong

[09:19] <ericy> Michael-farsight: Hello.
[09:19] <ville5> #ubuntu
[09:20] <linuxuz3r> hello guys
[09:20] <Michael-farsight> hi,i am new to ubuntu, how about you?
[09:20] <ericy> linuxuz3r: Hello.
[09:20] <linuxuz3r> im intermediate
[09:20] <linuxuz3r> hi ericy
[09:21] <ericy> Michael-farsight: I've been using it for 2 years, (after Windows XP).
[09:21] <linux__> what ?
[09:21] <ericy> linuxuz3r: Hello.
[09:21] <linux__> hello
[09:22] <ericy> linux__: Hello, do you have a problem.?
[09:22] <quietone> Starminn, thx but I've tried what I see and I don't see my error msg
[09:22] <ericy> linux__: Or a question?
[09:23] <linux__> ^_^
[09:23] <chaochao> :-)
[09:23] <ericy> linux__: Which Ubuntu do you use? I use 10.10 on a (junk) Acer notebook.
[09:23] <chaochao> i have a question
[09:25] <ericy> OK, you 3 nicks just listen, while the rest of us debug and troubleshoot 'real' problems.
[09:25] <Starminn> quuietone: I have no experience with Wi-Fi. The bot call usually solves the problem. Sorry.
[09:25] <ericy> chaochao: What?
[09:27] <chaochao> can you tell me how to use 'apt-get',i am a student.
[09:27] <amj> hi
[09:27] <ericy> chaochao: Student of what?
[09:27] <quietone> Starminn, thx for the reply, I got it working. I stopped listening to the user (told me there was no switch) and found the switch.
[09:28] <RubenAlonzo> Greetings Everyone.
[09:28] <johan^izi> chaochao, open a console and type: apt-get
[09:28] <ericy> chaochao: First do: sudo apt-get update
[09:28] <alk> Student of life
[09:28] <quietone> good night all
[09:28] <alk> johan^izi: nice concise instructions there ;)
[09:28] <johan^izi> alk, ;)
[09:28] <isbric_> Somthing in x is causing me packet loss every 10 minutes lasting 30-60 sec, from console im not experiancing any packetloss, wat can i do to norrow this problem down even more?
[09:29] <ericy> chaochao: Then to install say firefox: sudo apt-get install firefox
[09:29] <ericy> quietone: Good night.
[09:30] <Quintin> any tips on how to make ubuntu not so slow and craptastic?
[09:30] <ericy> RubenAlonzo: Hello.
[09:30] <Quintin> machine in question is PIII 1ghz 640mb ram
[09:31] <linuxuz3r> well ubuntu is not slow
[09:31] <Quintin> uhm
[09:31] <DJones> Quintin: I would be tempted to use something like xubuntu or lubuntu rather than ubuntu, they're less memory intensive
[09:31] <Quintin> yes, yes it is.
[09:31] <DJones> !nickspam | H_i_t_l_e_r
[09:32] <chaochao> thanks
[09:32] <chaochao> i know it a little.
[09:33] <Quintin> linuxuz3r: windows xp UI is a billion times faster
[09:33]  * Gnea looks at Quintin 
[09:33] <Quintin> ?
[09:33] <overclucker> lubintu might be able to handle your 1gz
[09:33] <overclucker> *lubuntu
[09:34] <Gnea> Quintin: okay, just saw your original question - yeah, don't use Ubuntu on such a slow system, heh, try Xubuntu or Elivecd
[09:34] <Quintin> not mine, mom's bf's. :P
[09:34] <overclucker> ah
[09:34] <Quintin> my pee cee is pretty fast-ish.
[09:34] <Quintin> also if you coul dmake the tv out work, that would be grand
[09:34] <linuxuz3r> Quintin, really
[09:34] <Quintin> when I try tvout, everything goes to shit
[09:34] <linuxuz3r> windows 2000 is much better than xp
[09:34] <Gnea> Quintin: making the tv-out work is up to you
[09:34] <Quintin> linuxuz3r: "better"?  no, not really
[09:34] <DJones> Quintin: If you could upgrade the memory, that would probably make a big difference as well
[09:35] <Gnea> #windows for windows talk
[09:35] <Quintin> DJones: yea, I'll ask around for antoher 512m dimm I guess
[09:35] <Quintin> sodimm*
[09:35] <Quintin> oh boy, irc nazis
[09:35] <ericy> Does any body have a 'real' question or problem with Ubuntu?
[09:35] <Gnea> !windows | Quintin
[09:36] <Gnea> !guidelines | Quintin
[09:36] <Gnea> Quintin: feel free to comment about it in #freenode if you like
[09:36] <Quintin> whenever I run the tv out, it's like the video accel stops working ... dragging windows around is sloooowww

[09:36] <ana_> hi. I installed Pixum software in Lubuntu but when I try to execute it, appears that error "Failed to execute child process "/ home / ana / Pixum / Pixum" (No such file or directory)"
[09:36] <linuxuz3r> ubuntu is cool
[09:36] <linuxuz3r> its fast
[09:36] <ana_> lubuntu is faster
[09:36] <ana_> :S
[09:37] <linuxuz3r> lubuntu?
[09:37] <ana_> yes
[09:37] <linuxuz3r> what is it
[09:37] <Sonne> !lubuntu
[09:37] <ana_> but horrible installing software
[09:37] <ana_> linux is horrible to install software out repos
[09:38] <ana_> I installed Pixum software in Lubuntu but when I try to execute it, appears that error "Failed to execute child process "/ home / ana / Pixum / Pixum" (No such file or directory)"
[09:38] <ericy> ana_: (I'm running Lubuntu right now.) What is Pixum software?
[09:38] <ana_> any soution?
[09:38] <ana_> ok
[09:38] <demonbell> !grub
[09:38] <ana_> is a photoalbum
[09:38] <demonbell> !grub2
[09:39] <Quintin> hrm... over 200 processes running.  seems very excessive for a desktop
[09:39] <linuxuz3r> hey quintin do you know why ubuntu iso image says amd64
[09:39] <ana_> pixum.com
[09:39] <linuxuz3r> not general x86_64
[09:39] <ericy> ana_: Is Pixum software in the Ubuntu repo?
[09:39] <ana_> I try it in windows without problems
[09:39] <ana_> no
[09:39] <ana_> no repo
[09:40] <linux_wd> HELLO!
[09:40] <ana_> is not possible to install out ubuntu repos?
[09:40] <ana_> I never runs anything not in the repos
[09:40] <ericy> ana_: Is Pixum a windows program that came with your camera or printer?
[09:40] <ana_> nono
[09:40] <ana_> is linux native
[09:40] <ericy> ana_: ok
[09:41] <ana_> http://www.pixum.co.uk/fotobook/download/id/94
[09:41] <ana_> that
[09:41] <Gnea> ana_: usually there's a variant of what you're looking for in the repositories, but if not, you should be able to compile if it comes to that
[09:42] <fedora_newb> Why isn't there OPs in this room? It could really use some for the trolls.
[09:42] <Gnea> fedora_newb: what's the problem?
[09:42] <Quintin> linuxuz3r: hmm?  why?
[09:42] <ghosthn2010> hello
[09:42] <ana_> that software is very near to hofmann
[09:42] <fedora_newb> Gnea, just rude people in chat ;)
[09:42] <linuxuz3r> Quintin, i was just wondering
[09:43] <ana_> others no
[09:43] <Gnea> fedora_newb: no worries :)
[09:43] <AdvoWork> ive got a bit of perl script, im trying to run/pipe a program through, any ideas please? would it just  be cat file.txt | perlcode > outputfile ? i tried that but it didnt appear to do anything
[09:43] <linuxuz3r> in fedora it says x86_64
[09:43] <linuxuz3r> but ubuntu and debian the iso is amd64
[09:43] <Gnea> !amd64
[09:44] <ana_> well
[09:44] <Quintin> well, most compilers produce binaries that are compatible with both architecture.  I think amd was the first to have popular consumer 64 bit cpu, so it might be related to that
[09:44] <ghosthn2010> 17:41:12
[09:44] <ana_> I wait pixum support mail xD
[09:45] <Gnea> ana_: what's the problem you're having, exactly?

[09:47] <Gnea> linuxuz3r: try #hardware, thanks
[09:47] <DJones> linuxuz3r: You might be better joining ##hardware to chat about that, or #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:47] <Sonne> gah, i thought there was a !command for this as well :P
[09:47] <krishna> yes
[09:47] <overclucker> s/sdtin/stdin/
[09:48] <AdvoWork> overclucker, cant i do it from the CLI? the script is like: perl -MEncode -pe 'use bytes; sub c { my $d = decode("UTF-8",shift,Encode::FB_XMLCREF); $d =~ s/&#x(..);/decode("windows-1252",chr(hex($1)))/eg; $d } s/([\x80-\xFF]+)/encode("UTF-8",c($1))/eg'

[09:48] <K3rl0u4rn> hi people, I'm currently trying to install a subsystem with debootstrap, I wonder if this is possible to use debootstrap + chroot without root access ? does it even make sense ? are there any security issues ?
[09:49] <mirshafie> Hello folks. I've been having some problems with booting Ubuntu since 10.10, the famous "Checking battery state" bit that freezes the boot process. I'm wondering if this check can be removed from the boot sequence, so that I can use Ubuntu?
[09:49] <linuxuz3r> oh guys is there a pattern when ubuntu release is lts
[09:49] <krishna> i need y messenger
[09:49] <krishna> can u help ?
[09:49] <nit-wit> linux, 3years
[09:49] <nit-wit> linuxuz3r, 3 yeras
[09:50] <linuxuz3r> nit-wit, but what release usually are lts
[09:50] <DJones> krishna: Yahoo messenger? You can connect to yahoo accounts for chat using pidgin or empathy, although from memory, they don't support video chat
[09:50] <Gnea> ericy: ah, okay - well we support Ubuntu here, Lubuntu support is in #lubuntu, and from what I can tell, it's just a perl script to install it, so it should "just work" if you type ./install.pl
[09:50] <krishna> can u help ?
[09:50] <Gnea> !lts | linuxuz3r
[09:50] <Gnea> !ask | krishna
[09:51] <linuxuz3r> is the next release of ubuntu LTS?
[09:51] <ana_> yes, y make ./install.pl
[09:51] <Gnea> !11.04
[09:51] <Gnea> linuxuz3r: I would say 'no'
[09:51] <ana_> install ok
[09:51] <DJones> linuxuz3r: I think 12.04 is the next LTS
[09:51] <linuxuz3r> gnea ok
[09:51] <ana_> but program not run
[09:51] <ericy> ana_: It appears that maybe when you installed, You should specify "/home/ana/"  not "/home/ana/Pixum/".
[09:52] <Gnea> ana_: okay, I'm installing it now
[09:52] <ericy> ana_: It appears that maybe when you installed, You should specify "/home/ana/"  not "/home/ana/Pixum/".
[09:52] <linuxuz3r> im dumbfounded every time i see a software with so many features
[09:52] <linuxuz3r> lol
[09:53] <linuxuz3r> !gnome3
[09:53] <ana_> oh

[09:54] <krishna> hi ..
[09:54] <K3rl0u4rn> anyone could help with this question ? I'm currently trying to install a subsystem with debootstrap, I wonder if this is possible to use debootstrap + chroot without root access ? does it even make sense ? are there any security issues ?
[09:54] <overclucker> AdvoWork: yes, you should be able to pipe that alright. cat file.txt | perlcode > out.txt
[09:54] <Gnea> krishna: talk here, not in PM, thanks.
[09:55] <Gnea> !details | krishna
[09:55] <AdvoWork> overclucker, it doesnt seem to change anything in the file though?

[09:57] <Gnea> vivek200912: not all games are going to work with wine, you might need cedega

[09:59] <eso4g2> Hi! Everybody!
[09:59] <eso4g2> UBUNTU Rules
[10:00] <ana_> now say denied permision
[10:00] <ana_> :S
[10:01] <eso4g2> ana crap!
[10:01] <Gnea> ana_: it works fine here, what's saying denied permissions?
[10:01] <ana_> with ubuntu?
[10:01] <eso4g2> you are a silly xD
[10:01] <eso4g2> Ana is a crap.
[10:02] <DJones> !coc | eso4g2
[10:02] <ana_> not insults please
[10:02] <ericy> eso4g2: Name calling is not as good as politeness.
[10:02] <Gnea> !attitude > eso4g2
[10:02] <Gnea> ana_: yes, the GUI came up
[10:02] <ana_> :O
[10:03] <eso4g2> cómanla
[10:03] <ana_> BAN ESO4g please
[10:03] <Gnea> ana_: now, you said you ran ./install.pl right?
[10:03] <eso4g2> no.
[10:03] <Gnea> ana_: stop.
[10:03] <eso4g2> vive je.
[10:03] <pbear> what's the difference between a data compressor(bzip2) and an archiver(rar)?
[10:03] <eso4g2> el ubunto es una crap
[10:03] <Baram> both are old, rar is very slow on linux
[10:03] <ana_> yes
[10:03] <Gnea> !es | eso4g2
[10:04] <ana_> y ran ./install.pl
[10:04] <pbear> what's the difference?
[10:04] <Gnea> ana_: okay, did you get any errors?
[10:04] <ana_> i run again
[10:04] <vivek200912> Gnea: which version of cedega I should install?
[10:04] <Gnea> !patience | pbear
[10:04] <ana_> i think no errors
[10:04] <Baram> umm... everything?  They use completely different compression routines
[10:04] <Gnea> vivek200912: the latest ought to work
[10:05] <Gnea> ana_: okay good, do you still have the terminal open?
[10:05] <vivek200912> Gnea: can u specify here?
[10:05] <Gnea> vivek200912: whatever the latest is on the website.
[10:05] <ana_> yes
[10:05] <isbric_> Im havving a network problem and i think its related to X, wat can i do to norrow my search of the error?
[10:06] <vivek200912> Gnea: ok, let me check..
[10:06] <Gnea> vivek200912: it's fairly simple and straight-forward.
[10:06] <Baram> network problem related to X?
[10:06] <mirshafie> and by the way, I do not have a laptop, so I don't need Ubuntu to check the battery state. if that helps...
[10:06] <ana_> downloading many archives
[10:06] <Gnea> ana_: now type the following:  cd ~/Pixum
[10:06] <vivek200912> Gnea: Its have cost.
[10:06] <ana_> when finish installation
[10:07] <Gnea> ana_: then:  cd Pixum\ Photo\ Book
[10:07] <Gnea> ana_: yes, after installation is finished
[10:07] <ana_> ok
[10:07] <ana_> thanks for your help
[10:07] <zvacet> vivek200912: you have to pay for cedega
[10:07] <Gnea> vivek200912: yes, it's not free, but it's not expensive. not everything is without cost.
[10:07] <Gnea> vivek200912: ubuntu is free, therefore less cost to play such games shouldn't be a problem.
[10:08] <Gnea> ana_: you're welcome
[10:08] <ana_> Pixum installed, no errors. now say: to run program click on /home/ana/Pixum/Pixum Easy book
[10:08] <vivek200912> Gnea, zvacet: yes, obiviously, and not much prise only $5 per month which is good to buy..
[10:08] <Gnea> ana_: yes, that's the problem.
[10:08] <shlorine> hey, I cant start up xfce4 for some reason =/ xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)
[10:09] <zvacet> vivek200912: so go for it
[10:09] <ana_> :S ???
[10:09] <Gnea> vivek200912: exactly - make sure you check the compatibility list to make sure your game works with it before buying
[10:09] <Gnea> ana_: you have to type:  cd Pixum, then cd Pixum\ Photo\ Book
[10:09] <Gnea> ana_: then type:  ./Pixum\ Photo\ Book
[10:09] <vivek200912> zvacet,Gnea: thanks..
[10:11] <ana_> I don't have Pixum\Photo\book :S
[10:11] <iqpi> ana_: notice the spaces
[10:12] <Gnea> ana_: the \ are to escape spaces on the commandline
[10:12] <ericy> Gnea: ana_: You are making me dizzy with all of those forward slashes, back slashes and spaces!
[10:12] <shlorine> Could anyone help me with something?, I cant get xfce to boot up for some reason
[10:12] <ana_> mmm
[10:12] <ana_> well
[10:12] <Gnea> ericy: feel free to focus on something else :)
[10:12] <iqpi> shlorine: how do you have tried to boot xfce?
[10:12] <ana_> I I'm in terminal in /Pixum
[10:13] <Gnea> ana_: yes, and if you type:  cd Pixum<tab>   where <tab> is the tab key, you'll see why the \ is necessary
[10:13] <shlorine> iqpi just by using the startxfce4 cmd
[10:13] <ana_> sorry I don't understand
[10:14] <ana_> I install it in /home/ana/Pixum
[10:14] <ericy> Gnea: ana_: Well as I said in an earlier post!: Spaces in file and directory names are evil!
[10:14] <Gnea> ericy: that doesn't help solve the problem.
[10:14] <ana_> ericy shut up please
[10:14] <Fuwex> Hi. I need a simple, yet good-looking panel that works with Compiz to only show a taskbar, meaning only open windows. No other buttons. Any suggestions?
[10:14] <Gnea> lol
[10:14] <zvacet> shlorine: why do you want to start from cli
[10:14] <iqpi> perhaps its because you are trying to start it from gnome?
[10:14] <Gnea> ana_: let's just take this step-by-step and it will work, okay?
[10:15] <ana_> ok
[10:15] <ericy> Gnea: rudness
[10:15] <ana_> I reinstall again
[10:15] <Gnea> ericy: enough.
[10:15] <Gnea> ana_: okay
[10:15] <Gnea> ana_: let me know when you are ready
[10:15] <ana_> in install no change anything?
[10:16] <Gnea> ana_: correct.
[10:16] <ericy> Gnea: I'm listening too.
[10:16] <Gnea> ericy: please do.
[10:17] <ana_> now the text is in english :S
[10:19] <Gnea> ana_: okay, can you cd Pixum/Pixum\ Photo\ Book/
[10:21] <ana_> WOW
[10:21] <ana_> now it runs!

[10:24] <Gnea> cheers :)
[10:24] <Gnea> !natty | j0llyr0tten
[10:24] <ana_> now I try to reinstall spanish version
[10:25] <ana_> is possible any mistake in spanish version :S
[10:25] <ericy> .
[10:25] <ejv> !enter | ana_
[10:25] <ana_> ok sorry
[10:28] <ana_> spanish version not run
[10:28] <erry> Hi
[10:28] <erry> Im trying to update and all im getting is 0% [Waiting for headers]
[10:29] <erry> Quite a while now
[10:29] <et-0nline> hey whats the command line when somebody ssh logs and i want to see what he does on my box
[10:29] <lathan_devers> ana_, try asking at the spanish irc channel #ubuntu-es
[10:30] <ana_> no
[10:30] <ejv> et-0nline: they need to have a screen active, then you'd screen -x
[10:30] <ana_> is a program error
[10:30] <ana_> nothing to do
[10:31] <erry> Is there a problem with the update servers?
[10:31] <ejv> i believe people are having difficulty communicating with you ana_ , you should try asking in the #ubuntu-es channel in your native language. :)
[10:31] <zvacet> erry: try to change server and see if that works
[10:32] <erry> zvacet, is there a way to know which server is the problem?
[10:32] <erry> I use ubuntu.otenet.gr and badgerports.org
[10:33] <zvacet> erry: under ubuntu software center>edit>software repositories change from one you use now to main and see
[10:33] <erry> Where's ubuntu software center?
[10:33] <Neosano> hello guys, I'm going to install ubuntu ON usb. Why can't I simply boot from cd and install it to usb exactly the same way I install ubuntu on my hard drive?
[10:33] <erry> I'm on 10.04 lts
[10:34] <zvacet> erry: under applications
[10:34] <iqpi> Neosano: you can do as you say, i have done it but with debian
[10:34] <erry> Oh that
[10:34] <erry> never used it
[10:34] <linuxuz3r> i saw a xoom tablet today and its something
[10:34] <linuxuz3r> smaller than an ipad
[10:34] <Neosano> iqpi, oh, right. Just wanted to be sure, thanks
[10:35] <iqpi> Neosano: just be sure to select the correct drive
[10:35] <iqpi> and also when you are going to install grub
[10:35] <erry> zvacet, stuill 0% waiting for heeaders
[10:35] <iqpi> install it in the pendrive, and not in other harddisk
[10:36] <zvacet> erry:  sorry I don't know
[10:36] <Neosano> iqpi, OK. uhhmm, more questions came to my mind :)
[10:36] <erry> maybe badgerports is the prob
[10:36] <Neosano> iqpi, is it possible to install more than 1 distrib on a pendrive?
[10:37] <iqpi> Neosano: of course yes
[10:37] <erry> Yep
[10:37] <erry> That was the prob
[10:37] <Neosano> iqpi, and is it possible to resize partitions on the pendrive like I usually do on my hdd?
[10:37] <zvacet> erry:  so you solved it?
[10:37] <iqpi> Neosano: yes, no problem, just make the partitions as if it will be a standart hd
[10:38] <Neosano> iqpi, awesome :O thanks
[10:38] <erry> zvacet, yes ty
[10:38] <erry> :)
[10:38] <azizLIGHTS> how do i make a new user  called 'dropbox'
[10:38] <Ben64> adduser dropbox
[10:38] <zvacet> erry:  glad to hear that  :)
[10:38] <gamemakingdude> Ubuntu is now installing on my 8gb usb.
[10:38] <iqpi> only one thin Neosano
[10:39] <boota2> hello, I can't access webmin form the internet, works from localhost from root
[10:39] <iqpi> Neosano: i dont advice you to use ext3 or ext4
[10:39] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[10:39] <boota2> anyone had experience with it?
[10:39] <Ben64> usb flash drives are really slow, i don't recommend them for an OS
[10:39] <iqpi> Neosano: because of journaling
[10:39] <mirshafie> ok i take it no one here is familiar with the ubuntu boot sequence. bye
[10:39] <Neosano> iqpi, :O
[10:39] <Neosano> iqpi, what should I use then?
[10:40] <azizLIGHTS> how do i become the new user 'dropbox'
[10:40] <Ben64> ext2, still gonna be slow though
[10:40] <iqpi> Neosano: i think ext2 is the best, or parse a option to ext4 to disable journaling, and i dont know how to do that xD
[10:40] <Neosano> Ben64, not for everyday use, of course! but for trying linux out and doing recovery things!
[10:40] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, su dropbox
[10:40] <Sysi> !webmin | boota2
[10:41] <boota2> I have old ubuntu.
[10:41] <boota2> 8.4
[10:41] <Sonne> Neosano, just out of curiosity, why do you want a filesystem without journaling?
[10:41] <neurochrome> Is anyone else getting weird screen artefacts in Ubuntu.  If I have an app open in the foreground I always see either youtube videos or adverts for amazon come through from the background, even when a browser is minimised or closed altogether
[10:41] <neurochrome> the only way to get rid of it is to restart
[10:41] <neurochrome> this is a new problem, started at 10.10
[10:41] <neurochrome> any ideas?
[10:41] <Sonne> neurochrome, few other people are reporting the same issue - it's most probably due to the video drivers
[10:42] <Sysi> Sonne: it's better when using usb drive, less writing to it
[10:42] <Sonne> Sysi, aha
[10:42] <mushrooms> Hi all, I have used ubuntu in the past (like version 6 or something) but gave up, and decided that I would give it another go today with version 10.
[10:42] <neurochrome> Sonne, even switching between metacity/compiz/ emerald/gtk-win-dec doesn;t help
[10:42] <neurochrome> strange
[10:42] <ylmfos> dd
[10:42] <Sonne> neurochrome, those are window managers, not video drivers :P
[10:42] <neurochrome> Sonne, no fix?
[10:42] <neurochrome> Sonne,  yeah I know
[10:42] <Ben64> neurochrome: have you tried disabling hardware accel for flash
[10:42] <Sysi> it's issue with flash
[10:43] <ylmfos> yundao
[10:43] <mushrooms> But I need help setting up my wireless card, more specifically... It doesn't seem to turn 'on' when I boot up
[10:43] <neurochrome> No, I haven't
[10:43] <Sonne> neurochrome, the proprietary flash plugin uses some kind of weird acceleration that causes problems on certain drivers, you might want to try switching to some alternatives
[10:43] <ylmfos> what is this?
[10:43] <Sonne> neurochrome, for example, you  might consider trying the proprietary drivers
[10:43] <Neosano> iqpi, oh, and really, what's wrong with journaling?
[10:43] <neurochrome> There is a way to disable hw accel though, I'll look into it
[10:43] <neurochrome> Sonne, prop drivers for what?
[10:43] <neurochrome> GFX?
[10:43] <neurochrome> already do
[10:43] <Sonne> neurochrome, for your video card
[10:43] <DJones> ylmfos: This a a support channel for the ubuntu operating system
[10:43] <Sonne> ah, nice
[10:43] <olie> hi
[10:43] <Sysi> Neosano: more writing to disc
[10:44] <ylmfos> eeee
[10:44] <iqpi> Neosano: journaling makes many write cycles to the disks to dont loose data in a crash
[10:44] <GeneralK> Just in case there is anyone different around now, I am having an issue where I'm unable to mount a NTFS partition on a drive that has a gpt partition table... it's also connected through a nvidia raid array. Any help would be appreciated
[10:44] <neurochrome> Sonne,  not that I like prop stuff, but I like my gfx with a kick up the ass
[10:44] <Ben64> neurochrome: try disabling hardware accel for flash first :D right click flash vid -> settings -> uncheck box for accel
[10:44] <ylmfos> i m first use it
[10:44] <iqpi> Neosano: so it will destroy your pendrive
[10:44] <Sonne> neurochrome, i know what you mean, i run proprietary drivers as well - but your issue appears often when using the free ones
[10:44] <iqpi> Neosano: because pendrives are designed to support a limit of IO cycles
[10:44] <neurochrome> Ben64, cheers 2sec, I thought there was a cfg file somewhere to switch it on/off
[10:45] <ylmfos> where are u?
[10:45] <Sysi> Ben64: i'd tried that but my settings aren't working either..
[10:45] <mushrooms> when I type in, lshw -C network, and it shows up with an entry "*-network UNCLAIMED" what does this mean?
[10:45] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[10:45] <Neosano> iqpi, oh :O
[10:45] <ericy> Have you seen the channel list.  Do it. Filter it for channels with over 300 users.
[10:45] <Ben64> Sysi: huh? i didn't say anything for you to do?
[10:45] <zvacet> yimfos: do you have any question
[10:46] <Sonne> GeneralK, i'm not familiar with your setup - you might want to try #ubuntu-server however
[10:46] <Sysi> Ben64: throws to adobe website
[10:46] <Neosano> iqpi, hmm.. ok.. but then what's going to happen if I pull my usb out while the system is doing something?
[10:46] <Sysi> Fripon: you could try to ask from #kubuntu
[10:47] <Sysi> Neosano: unclean mount, not good for journalized fs:es either
[10:47] <gazzumatteo> :/quit
[10:47] <azizLIGHTS> how do i give the new user dropbox, ability to read/write my home dir? /home/ubuntu
[10:48] <iqpi> Neosano: i dont know, but the same that if while you are working with the system, you disconnect the hard drive, your system will crash
[10:48] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, you could try adding the dropbox user to your group - but why are you using a dedicated user for dropbox?
[10:48] <iqpi> Neosano: I think it will become freeze
[10:48] <iqpi> and you will cannot do anything, just hardreboot
[10:48] <Fripon> Sysi thx
[10:48] <mushrooms> How do I check if a particular driver in question is bound to a device, and talking to the kernel?
[10:49] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: because i tried with my own user and it does funny things when i try to share /home/ubuntu to other dropbox users
[10:49] <Sysi> mushrooms: lspci -k
[10:49] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, using a different user won't change anything
[10:49] <Sysi> for a start
[10:49] <Neosano> iqpi, I mean would it broke the filesystem so I'd have to format it?
[10:49] <Sonne> that's the way fuse woks i guess
[10:49] <mushrooms> Sysi: so if it's listed, then a driver should be installed?
[10:50] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, it will list the driver its using
[10:50] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: it tries to sync /home/ubuntu/.dropbox which has socket files and goes 100% cpu usage, if i exclude it , it deltes it and my db disappears, if i recreate it, and then try to share /home/ubuntu it makes a .dropbpx (Conflicted Copy) dir
[10:50] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: its funny businmess!
[10:50] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: im going to isolate the .dropbox dir into a new user, and not share that user's home. and keep my own home safe from that crap and able to be shared
[10:50] <chasis> hi, i need a linux alternative for avisub detector, any help?
[10:50] <mushrooms> fedora_newb: oh ok (sorry I'm not an advanced user.. so...) I'm trying to get my wireless card working with ubuntu :(
[10:50] <death_> ку народ
[10:51] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, that doesn't really look like a good choice, but have fun experimenting :)
[10:51] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, i had trouble with mine as well, however did you try connecting it to a wired connection and then checking for additional drivers with ubuntu online?
[10:51] <DJones> !ru | death_
[10:51] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, it fixed mine right up with that method
[10:52] <azizLIGHTS> so how do i add 'dropbox' to my group?
[10:52] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, system->administration->additional drivers
[10:52] <mushrooms> fedora_newb: yes, i am connected via wire at the moment, and then i connected it to the 'restricted drivers', it said that system doesn't have any..
[10:52] <fedora_newb> oh
[10:52] <iqpi> Neosano: i dont know what will happen
[10:52] <iqpi> but i dont think you will have any problem, but you will loose whatever you have not saved before
[10:52] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, you made sure your wifi is on?
[10:52] <mushrooms> fedora_newb: then... my wireless card is one of those ones where i insert into the PCI slot on my laptop. it won't light up either..
[10:52] <Neosano> ok..
[10:53] <Neosano> and..
[10:53] <azizLIGHTS> !group
[10:53] <azizLIGHTS> !groups
[10:53] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, adduser dropbox ubuntu
[10:53] <chasis> any help with avisub detector for linux?
[10:53] <mushrooms> fedora_newb: ^^;;; actually i don't know how to turn it on in ubuntu..
[10:53] <Sonne> (if that's your username)
[10:53] <zvacet> mushrooms:  read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs and see if it helps
[10:53] <mushrooms> zvacet: yeah i'm reading that at the moment now too
[10:53] <Neosano> iqpi, I want the free space of the pendrive to be shared for all os'es on my pendrive, how to do that?
[10:53] <Sysi> mushrooms: should be bios setting
[10:53] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne what about the permissions of /home/ubuntu dir? do i have to set it
[10:53] <zvacet> mushrooms: ok then
[10:53] <sougata> mushrooms: whats your network card ?
[10:53] <fedora_newb> mushrooms, i would do what zvacet recommended...i am of no help from here, sorry
[10:53] <mushrooms> zvacet: i was trying to figure out if the lshw -C network command meant anything :(
[10:54] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, if anything, chmod g+w
[10:54] <jrn_a> mushrooms, look for the ubuntu netbook versions / it's extra packages
[10:54] <neurochrome> Ben64, the settings is greyed out, and global settings takes me to adobe.com
[10:54] <Sonne> if you wanna write to it, that is
[10:54] <mushrooms> sougata: I have no idea >_< how do i tell? (i don't have the driver disc, nor do i have the original box)
[10:54] <azizLIGHTS> yes
[10:54] <iqpi> Neosano: just make a partition with the free space, and format it to fat32
[10:54] <azizLIGHTS> do i do adduser dropbox ubuntu, as ubuntu or as dropbox user
[10:54] <Sonne> adduser <dropbox user> <your user>
[10:54] <iqpi> then make a fstab rule to mount that partition for example in /pendrive
[10:54] <azizLIGHTS> yes but as who?
[10:54] <sougata> mushrooms: so what was the output for lshw -C network ?
[10:55] <Ben64> neurochrome: try it on a youtube vid?
[10:55] <mushrooms> sougata: hang on i'll paste it in a pastebin
[10:55] <neurochrome> yeah, that's where I am
[10:55] <sougata> mushrooms: cool
[10:55] <Neosano> iqpi, no, I mean..  I don't want to create 2 partitions for 2 different os'es, how can I install them on one? :O
[10:55] <Ben64> neurochrome: well thats grayed for me too... hold on
[10:56] <Neosano> iqpi, simply different root directory?
[10:56] <zvacet> Neosano: you can not install two os on same partition
[10:56] <neurochrome> Ben64, k
[10:56] <iqpi> Neosano: you need at least one partition for each / so, you cannot install 2 systems in one partition
[10:56] <mushrooms> sougata: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582022/
[10:56] <Neosano> that doesn't sound good XD
[10:56] <azizLIGHTS> Sonne: what about files in /home/ubuntu/* shouldnt those be g+w too?
[10:56] <neurochrome> Ben64, think I found the text file to edit /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
[10:57] <iqpi> Neosano: there is a posibilite
[10:57] <Sonne> azizLIGHTS, aye most probably
[10:57] <Ben64> neurochrome: :O
[10:57] <neurochrome> Ben64, but it doesn't exist, does flash have hw accel on by default?
[10:57] <iqpi> but you will need to use first a different partition
[10:57] <Ben64> http://ben64.com/panda/test1.html
[10:57] <Ben64> neurochrome: go there, right click, settings :D
[10:58] <neurochrome> Ben64, nice one!
[10:58] <Sysi> best workaround ever
[10:58] <Ben64> worth a shot, i was having problems with accel on
[10:59] <neurochrome> Ben64, the artefacts are still there, but I'll restart to see if it's fixed.... or is there another way to kill the programs running w/o restarting?
[10:59] <sougata> mushrooms: hang on a while
[10:59] <mushrooms> sougata: so i was wondering what "unclaimed" means... and if there were any way of actually enabling the wifi card...
[10:59] <mushrooms> sougata:  ya
[10:59] <iqpi> Neosano: you can first install both systems, in diferent partitions, then from one of the system, as root, you copy the whole root directoy of the other system into a directory of your system. Then when it is entired copied, you can chroot in the new folder, so it will be like using a diferent system into your system.
[10:59] <Ben64> neurochrome: logging out would work, but if it didn't fix it, then that probably won't with a restart either
[10:59] <iqpi> Neosano: and if it works, then destroy the partition
[11:00] <neurochrome> Ben64, brb
[11:00] <Neosano> iqpi, but I remember when installing linux there was an option called root point or smth
[11:00] <iqpi> Neosano: yes, you are right
[11:00] <Ben64> smth?
[11:00] <ninoe> !help
[11:00] <Neosano> something XD
[11:01] <iqpi> but, you first install as many systems as you want in different partitions
[11:01] <Ben64> wow
[11:01] <iqpi> Neosano: and after that
[11:01] <Sysi> Ben64: mine started working when i took acceleration off, thanks
[11:01] <iqpi> Neosano: you have to copy each / of each system into diferent folders of the system you want to have as "master"
[11:02] <iqpi> and then, for using those "client" systems
[11:02] <Ben64> Sysi: cool
[11:02] <iqpi> Neosano:  you can chroot to the folder of the system.
[11:02] <iqpi> Neosano: i don't know if i have explain
[11:03] <sougata> mushrooms: you need acx1xx driver
[11:03] <azizLIGHTS> how do i make it so new files made in /home/ubuntu by ubuntu user are g+w by default upon creation
[11:03] <mushrooms> sougata: oh ok, so what should I do from here?
[11:03] <sougata> mushrooms: just hang on
[11:03] <mushrooms> sougata: no problem
[11:04] <sougata> mushrooms: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers
[11:04] <sougata> mushrooms: we have to match the vendor and the product id
[11:04] <sougata> mushrooms: Then we can get the driver.
[11:05] <mushrooms> sougata: oh ok, so it's that texas instruments one?
[11:05] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[11:06] <Neosano> iqpi, but that would require some more brainfuck with grub :O
[11:06] <Neosano> iqpi, hmm okay thanks!
[11:07] <iqpi> Not really, in fact you wont need grub because you only have to boot one linux, and the others should "boot" from that linux
[11:07] <iqpi> but Neosano thats fucking hard work make the partitions
[11:08] <Neosano> iqpi, >.< ok
[11:08] <Neosano> iqpi, thanks!
[11:08] <gil> Hi all - is anyone here using natty with the gnome3 team ppa?
[11:09] <iqpi> Neosano: np =)
[11:09] <DJones> !natty | gil
[11:09] <gil> thx
[11:09] <mushrooms> sougata: :3 I think i found a fix
[11:10] <sougata> mushrooms: cool
[11:10] <sougata> mushrooms: I guess you need a acx100 driver
[11:10] <azizLIGHTS> any idea on default file perms for any created new files
[11:10] <mushrooms> sougata: D: it didn't work..
[11:10] <sougata> mushrooms: so what did you install
[11:11] <mushrooms> sougata: i did a search to see if i can find *-network UNCLAIMED, there was a forum entry that suggests i do a sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty
[11:11] <sougata> mushrooms: yes :-)
[11:11] <mushrooms> sougata: but it didn't work.. i got this message D: E: Unable to locate package linux-backports-modules-jaunty
[11:11] <rizzuh> where are the GTK themes stored?
[11:12] <Sysi> rizzuh: /usr/share/themes/ or ~/.themes/
[11:13] <mushrooms> sougata: did i do something wrong with that :C
[11:13] <sougata> mushrooms: that is not there in your apt list
[11:14] <sougata> mushrooms: what version of ubuntu are you using
[11:14] <mushrooms> sougata: the latest one, i grabbed it like 3 days ago. so that makes it 10.10?
[11:15] <sougata> mushrooms: ok.you can see that using cat /etc/lsb-release
[11:16] <sougata> mushrooms: so why would you like to install backport for jaunty ? . I am not quit sure about this.
[11:16] <mushrooms> sougata: someone suggested this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314693
[11:16] <EClaesson> Hi, i'm having some problems with bash scripts. I have a very simple script with two lines, including #/bin/bash. Then i cd to the directory where it is and type ./filename.sh Then it says command not found. I tried with sudo as well
[11:16] <sougata> mushrooms: what I assume that your wifi should work with acx100 driver
[11:17] <EClaesson> Nevermind
[11:17] <EClaesson> Forgot to chmod to +x
[11:18] <mushrooms> sougata: so, even if my listing says acx 111 i should still go with the acx 100?
[11:18] <DavidB> Hi all
[11:18] <DavidB> I have a File sharing problem on our Ubuntu File Server can someone please help me out?
[11:19] <MrBushido> does anybody know where I can find the philosphy behind ubuntu/apt's directory structure? Some of the guides I'm learning from think things are in places to where they are on ubuntu
[11:19] <mman> how to move a directory to a place and keep the same rights
[11:19] <Quintin> how the hell do I get X zap back?
[11:19] <mushrooms> sougata: it says if i get the backports, the driver should become available :D
[11:19] <sougata> mushrooms: what I know there are some debian source availabe for acx100
[11:20] <sougata> mushrooms: http://askubuntu.com/questions/12269/problem-with-texas-instruments-acx-100-22mbps-wireless-interface
[11:20] <mman> lets say: mv  file  file.bak      which argument do i have to use so that file.bak has the same rigts (rwx for example)
[11:20] <mushrooms> sougata: >_< I'm a newb tho.. so probably won't know what to do with them...
[11:20] <sougata> mushrooms: Don't worry everyone learns this way.
[11:20] <DavidB> I have a File sharing problem on our Ubuntu File Server can someone please help me out?
[11:20] <rizzuh> I've installed oxygen-gtk and selected it as the GTK theme with lxappearance. However, GTK apps that run as root (with sudo) still use the crappy Redmond theme. How do I select the oxygen-gtk theme for those as well?
[11:20] <Sysi> mman: shouldn't need any
[11:21] <azizLIGHTS> !umask
[11:21] <mman> sysi, but the ower changes
[11:21] <sougata> mushrooms: Did you read the link, ubuntu does not ships a driver for this hardware
[11:22] <mushrooms> sougata: I suspect that my card is not from texas instruments tho... because it doesn't have any markings on it that says TI... it looks generic to me..
[11:22] <bullgard4> MrBushido: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/: "This page is the home of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)."
[11:22] <mushrooms> sougata: also, it used to work when i was running ubuntu 6 (but i gave up using it)
[11:22] <mushrooms> sougata: so i know drivers exist that runs with ubuntu >_<
[11:22] <sougata> mushrooms: Ahhaaa
[11:23] <Sysi> mman: maybe you'd need to use rsync
[11:23] <sougata> mushrooms: you can try #linux-wireless channel
[11:23] <sougata> mushrooms: I guess some one there can provide you some help
[11:23] <DavidB> I have a File sharing problem on our Ubuntu File Server can someone please help me out?  We have 15 station running Windows Xp and Windows 7 and our File Server running Ubuntu, I configured 3 shares with full access, restarted Samba but some of the stations can not agges the server

[11:27] <symmm> I installed ubuntu via wubi but the keyboard layout is wacked (probably due to the windows locale not being english originally)
[11:27] <symmm> e.g. I try to enter a colon and end up with a +
[11:28] <symmm> is there a keyboard layout selector or somesuch?
[11:29] <Sysi> of course (but i don't remember where, check menu)

[11:33] <sougata> mushrooms: yes, they will reply hang on. Most of them are upstream developers

[11:34] <mushrooms> sougata: im going to give that 'backports' method a crack, and see how i go lol
[11:36] <Sysi> HyperHoRse: you have ran apt-get update?
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> yes but it always spits a message saying i need to run it twice
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> sometimes even 3 times
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> every time. i do one it says run it again.
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> eventually it stops
[11:36] <HyperHoRse> but its weird.

[12:02] <lebear> Has anybody got the native Spotify client to play local files?
[12:03] <mtlife> anyone knows how to get data of a harddrive which does not mount anymore but can still be detected by the bios (smart seems ok)
[12:03] <Fuwex> OK, so does anyone know of a lightweight, yet (hopefully) composite window manager with "good looks"?
[12:04] <mtlife> fluwex: lubuntu?
[12:04] <mtlife> Fuwex
[12:04] <erUSUL> mtlife: do you know why it does not mount? can you see the partitions on the drive? can you pass checks to those partitions' filesystems?
[12:05] <Fuwex> mtlife: I need only the window manager. That's openbox, isn't it?
[12:05] <j_ayen_green> arrrrgh!! the past week or two lucid has been going into some race condition on me. last night it was while using thunderbird. asked it to delete about a dozen imap messages, and the disk took off for about 30 minutes, and then the disk stopped and cpu was pegged and memory way up there. Went to sleep and 7 hours later was the same.
[12:05] <mtlife> Fuwex: i think so...
[12:06] <Fuwex> mtlife: OK, thanks
[12:06] <mtlife> erUSUL: let me see if i can get to the partition table, I know it can read grub... but cantread the init
[12:06] <overclucker> Fuwex: take a look at: http://xwinman.org/
[12:06] <Fuwex> overclucker: thanks - though, is this list updated?
[12:07] <j_ayen_green> mtlife, for what it's worth...I've had to abort a few times recently which left the volume not being usable for init...I found that booting from riplinux let me do a fsck -y every time and fix it.
[12:08] <osse> overclucker, thanks! That will work nicely
[12:09] <mtlife> erUSUL: partition table is there, what do you mean by passing checks to the tables?
[12:09] <Laurenceb_> hi, im trying to setup gcc for xscale
[12:10] <mtlife> j_ayen_green: im in lubuntu livedisk right now, think fsck -y works?
[12:10] <Laurenceb_> anyone know how to install it?
[12:10] <overclucker> Fuwex: not sure how updated it is, but it's got all teh big names, and a comprehensive list of you click others
[12:10] <j_ayen_green> mtlife: i could not do it from ubuntu, because gnome would try to mount and leave the disk showing as mounted when it failed, and fsck wouldn't run
[12:10] <j_ayen_green> hence using riplinux
[12:10] <Pici> Laurenceb_: installing the build-essential package should get everything setup for compiling software (minus any specific build-dependencies that packages have)
[12:10] <Kre10s> anyone using sfl-phone ?
[12:10] <Laurenceb_> ah ok
[12:10] <Fuwex> overclucker: enlightenment looks promising. will check it out :)
[12:11] <Kre10s> I can't get contacts to work
[12:11] <j_ayen_green> mtlife, that said, when I -could- run fsck -y, it always cleared a few orphaned inodes and all was well
[12:11] <Kre10s> I've configures it, but they don't show up...
[12:12] <fizy[laptop]> how do i enable the ctrl-alt-backspace shortcut for the logon screen in 10.04? and yes, it is neccessary
[12:12] <mtlife> j_ayen_green: problem is, the mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ hangs..
[12:12] <rr0hit> Fuwex: take a look at bodhilinux. A quite good distro that ships enlightenment
[12:13] <jrib> !dontzap | fizy[laptop]
[12:13] <j_ayen_green> mtlife: ah, that's different than in my case
[12:13] <Fuwex> rr0hit, actually, I only need a window manager, but thanks. Just need one to bundle with an application I'm working on
[12:13] <mtlife> j_ayen_green: lemme reboot and check if i can run fsck
[12:13] <fizy[laptop]> jrib i enabled it for my account, i just need to enable it for the login screen
[12:13] <mtlife> j_ayen_green: will take a while, booting in usb 1.1 legacy :(
[12:13] <erUSUL> mtlife: fsck the filesystems... gparted can do it from a livecd
[12:13] <Pici> fizy[laptop]: Then you'll probably need to follow the steps outlined on that page for modifying xorg.conf
[12:14] <mtlife> erUSUL: fsck -y ?
[12:14] <Pici> fizy[laptop]: If the file doesn't exist, you can create it and xorg should honor its contents.
[12:14] <fizy[laptop]> Pici: i can view webpages right now. im in a virtual terminal. my graphics card is being pissy today, so i abandoned the x server
[12:14] <fizy[laptop]> cant*
[12:15] <Guest27661> hey guys i need help with something. im new to ubuntu and im having some problems installing my belkin wireless adapter which is not supported by ubuntu by default but its possible to get it to work. but im having some problems. any help would be appreciated?!!
[12:15] <jrib> fizy[laptop]: w3m https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap
[12:15] <erUSUL> mtlife: i do not know for sure what options gparted uses... if you want to do it from command lne i recommend reading the e2fsck man page
[12:15] <Pici> fizy[laptop]: You can use w3m to browse webpages on your terminal, it should be installed by default.  Its a multi-line setting.
[12:16] <Laurenceb_> http://pastebin.com/zHW4irBW
[12:16] <mtlife> erUSUL: ok i will run gparted first..
[12:16] <fizy[laptop]> pici how do i launch the page with w3m? is is indeed installed
[12:16] <fizy[laptop]> it is*
[12:16] <Laurenceb_> that script gives me : command not found ++ $'\r': command not found
[12:16] <Pici> fizy[laptop]: see jrib's message
[12:16] <Laurenceb_> why?
[12:16] <mbnoimi> where can I find man pages directory?
[12:16] <fizy[laptop]> ah
[12:17] <Pici> mbnoimi: /usr/share/man/
[12:17] <mbnoimi> Pici: thanks
[12:17] <Pici> mbnoimi: If you're searching for a particular manpage 'apropos' is usually useful.
[12:18] <Smiley> cpan modules, use them or not?
[12:18] <Smiley> as I know some distros frown upon then?
[12:18] <Dave105> and i thought i could find support here!!!
[12:18] <Smiley> Dave105: dont be silly, your using ubuntu.
[12:18] <bazhang> Dave105, for what
[12:18] <Pici> Smiley: Please don't.
[12:18] <Smiley> Sorry >_<
[12:19] <mbnoimi> Pici: are you sure /usr/share/man/ has all man pages of my ubuntu?
[12:19] <Dave105> im new to ubuntu and im having some problems installing my belkin wireless adapter which is not supported by ubuntu by default but its possible to get it to work. but im having some problems. any help would be appreciated?!!
[12:19] <bazhang> Dave105, whats the chipset
[12:19] <Dave105> Realtek RTL8192SU?!!
[12:20] <Dave105> if its that what u mean!
[12:20] <Pici> mbnoimi: Check out the contents /etc/manpath.config for additional configurations.
[12:20] <Dave105> as i said im new to all this
[12:20] <overclucker> Laurenceb_: you might want to add #!/bin/bash as the first line.
[12:20] <SnowmanX11> Can somebody tell me a good scanner program? Probably good in OCR too?
[12:21] <Laurenceb_> k
[12:21] <_antant> Booo online scratch cards
[12:21] <inveratulo> Dave105: you may want to look into ndiswrapper
[12:22] <Laurenceb_> bash: ./build.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[12:22] <Dave105> its a belkin f5d8053. and btw i did look into ndiswrapper and it appears on the network list but it says its disconnected! i dont understand
[12:22] <j_ayen_green> no one has heard of this... the system being pegged for hours after disk being pegged, with no apparent reason?  it's killing me...never know when I'll have to kill it and lose what I'd had open
[12:23] <bazhang> http://samiux.blogspot.com/2010/05/howto-realtek-8192su-usb-dongle.html Dave105
[12:23] <inveratulo> Dave105: maybe tail your /var/log/messages to make sure it is being recognized when plugged in?
[12:23] <overclucker> Laurenceb_: ^M is a bad character.
[12:23] <Laurenceb_> hmm odd
[12:24] <overclucker> Laurenceb_: are you using a windows editor on the script?
[12:24] <Laurenceb_> no, but its from a windows system
[12:24] <Dave105> inveratulo:

[12:25] <Dave105> im checking that link out
[12:26] <Dave105> i want trying to spam
[12:26] <Dave105> lol. i was pasting the output of "tail /var/log/messages"

[12:27] <Dave105> btw this is the output of /var/log/messages: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582065/
[12:27] <inveratulo> Laurenceb_: make sure you're transferring the file in the correct mode so the windars control characters aren't inserted
[12:28] <Dave105> any ideas? im checking that link too
[12:28] <inveratulo> Dave105: sure... give the link a shot and let us know how it goes

[12:30] <confoocious> Hello. I can't mount my Motorola L9(on storage) mode via USB. The phone shows up fine as /dev/sdb when plugged in. But it says unknown device, unable to mount when I try to mount it.
[12:30] <confoocious> What2does?
[12:31] <plouffe> !tablet
[12:32] <lampe2> hallo when i start ubuntu and after login i must type in 4 times the key password can some one help me to fix this?
[12:34] <geirha> lampe2: That probably means you are typing the keyring password wrong three times, so it falls back to ask you the password for your wireless network instead, which is the password you just typed three times.
[12:35] <lampe2> geirha,  no i type it right and i dont even got wlan iam on kabel ;) it tested it now 5 times when i start ubnutu
[12:36] <geirha> lampe2: Hm. I see. Not sure then. If you don't have too many passwords stored in your keyring, I'd consider wiping it and create a new keyring.
[12:37] <geirha> lampe2: I'm not on an Ubuntu machine atm, but you'd go to System -> Preferences -> Encryption keys and passwords (IIRC) to do that.
[12:38] <lampe2> geirha, iam there and i got there 7 entries some for ubuntu one and gwibber and gmail can i delte them?
[12:39] <geirha> lampe2: Well, I hope you remember the passwords for those?
[12:39] <Dave105> ok i was trying to follow that guide BUT both download links are broken. so obviously i cant do anything with it!
[12:39] <lampe2> yes i do ;)
[12:39] <Dave105> any ideas?
[12:39] <lampe2> geirha,  yes i remeber all of them ;)
[12:39] <lampe2> geirha, so i can just delete them?
[12:40] <geirha> lampe2: Then it shouldn't be dangerous. If you remove the keyring, and create a new, default one,  you'll have to add those passwords again, one by one of course.
[12:40] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[12:40] <Abhijit> hi
[12:40] <Abhijit> help. how to add .bin executable application to application menu/
[12:40] <Abhijit> ?
[12:40] <Dave105> ubuntu is detecting it. but for some reason its not working
[12:41] <Neosano> Hello guys. Still can't believe there's no solution for this: I have a USB flash drive and I'd like to install several linux distributions on it, the problem is that I don't want to use fixed size partitions because my pen drive isn't so big and I don't want the space to be wasted on another partition (and I don't want to resize them from time to time). Is there any way to install everything on one partition? Maybe there's something like a
[12:41] <Neosano>  virtual file system? Or anything else?
[12:41] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815 Dave105
[12:41] <ruan> Abhijit: i think you'll need to make a small bash script for that
[12:41] <ruan> not sure
[12:42] <Neosano> Abhijit try menu editor?
[12:42] <Ploploploop> Hello all . I have an interesting porblem. I can't gain access to my computer (obviously not his one) for an apparently stupid reason. When the computer finish his boot, he won't show the space to enter my password. But here is he trick. If I try ctrl alt F1, the screen shut. If I try to boot in safe mode, the computer cracsh after loading the usb port and an live usb start fail with getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (
[12:42] <Ploploploop> 0). I checked the md5sum of he iso and it's good, beside the problems started after I did he first upgrade, not right after the installation. Dos someone have an idea?
[12:42] <Abhijit> Neosano, yes. it added menu entry. but that application dont run when click on it
[12:42] <Dave105> thanks bazhang looks legit that link. going to try it now
[12:42] <Abhijit> ruan, hmm
[12:42] <bazhang> Abhijit, what package
[12:42] <inveratulo> you can trust bazhang's links... mostly
[12:43] <Abhijit> bazhang, eternal land game
[12:43] <lampe2> geirha, thx for help
[12:43] <ruan> Abhijit: ./file.bin, add it to main menu
[12:43] <Neosano> Ploploploop, have you tried ctrl+alt+F1 to get the console?
[12:43] <Abhijit> bazhang, i need to go to terminal and to ./game.bin then only it run. it dont run from menu entry. that entry i added manualy ru
[12:43] <Abhijit> ruan, ^^
[12:44] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: So you are unable to boot into live USB?  Can you use a live CD instead to get into it?
[12:44] <ruan> Abhijit: use a bash script to do ./game.bin
[12:44] <ruan> Abhijit: and add that script to main menu
[12:44] <Abhijit> ohhh
[12:44] <Abhijit> ok
[12:45] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands#The%20quick%20way%20-%20Install%20Ubuntu%20packages%20using%20an%20install%20program Abhijit
[12:45] <bazhang> Abhijit, just use the ppa
[12:45] <Abhijit> bazhang, ok
[12:45] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: After boot, you can also try alt-sysrq-k to try to get back to a console.  it should kill the x server.  You may have to do the ctrl-alt-f1 first to get to a console (even if it appears blank), then do the alt-sysrq-k.
[12:46] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands  <--- Abhijit from this link
[12:47] <Abhijit> yeah
[12:49] <Ploploploop> [segfault],  what is sysrq?
[12:49] <Ploploploop> suprr?
[12:49] <bazhang> Ploploploop, the prntscrn button usually
[12:49] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: if not so marked on your keyboard, it would also be the same key as print-screen
[12:50] <Dave105> bazhang http://paste.ubuntu.com/582071/
[12:50] <Dave105> bazhang its weird mate!! :(
[12:50] <Ploploploop> [segfault], it crashed
[12:51] <bazhang> Dave105, looks like you have two wireless nics there
[12:51] <Ploploploop> I have a few with point on scrren , and the cursor, frozen
[12:51] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: can you boot off of a live CD instead, so that you can repair things?
[12:52] <Dave105> bazhang. yes im using my brothers because mines not working. mine is wlan1
[12:52] <Ploploploop> I tried that (liveusb as I have no cddrive) and I got  getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (
[12:52] <Ploploploop>  0)
[12:53] <Dave105> bazhang the other one was easy to install
[12:53] <Ploploploop> any other idea?
[12:53] <bazhang> Dave105, why not continue to use it then
[12:54] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: hmm..well, since you already checked the MD5 checksum, the USB image seems good... maybe you are experiencing a hardware issue?  You might check your bios settings and refresh them for starters, maybe reseat the ram, check connections.
[12:55] <Dave105> bazhang because my brothers needs it a lot. because he travels a lot. i used ubuntu before but i decided to give it a go again, but with this adapter im not having any luck
[12:55] <bazhang> Dave105, well there are lots of fixes for it in the ubuntu forums, but they do involve some compiling and such.
[12:56] <bazhang> Dave105, its simply not  a  well supported card at all
[12:56] <Ploploploop> [segfault],  Yeah...
[12:56] <EClaesson> A little newbie question. In windows you can use "start programname" to lauch the program but not in the current terminal. How do i do this in ubuntu? I.e i start emacs from terminal but i can continue using that same terminal window
[12:57] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: btw, which version of Ubuntu is on the USB?
[12:57] <Ploploploop> 10.10
[12:57] <ruan> EClaesson: use "screen" to run multiple programs at once on a terminal?
[12:57] <ruan> EClaesson: or use tabs
[12:58] <Ploploploop> [segfault], the latest 10.10
[12:58] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: yeah, hmm.  well I thought it might be related to an earlier bug in Lucid..:(
[12:58] <ruan> EClaesson: to start emacs just type "emacs"
[12:58] <XLR8> Guys... I'm new to ubuntu. just trashed my windows pc
[12:59] <ruan> welcome XLR8
[12:59] <Dave105> bazhang im aware of that :\ ill keep looking :)
[12:59] <XLR8> Thans RUAN
[12:59] <Ploploploop> [segfault], one possible problem could be that I have a wifi n card, or usb3 ports, as well as esata
[12:59] <EClaesson> ruan: I know that i can type emacs. But then that terminal is used by emacs, so i can't continue using it. I want to be able to lauch emacs just as if i clicked its icon. (I'm to lazy to click..)
[12:59] <ruan> EClaesson: yeah, so open a new terminal tab
[13:00] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: well, I suppose, but the latest kernel should be supporting all of that, and at least not die like that if it doesn't for some reason.
[13:00] <ruan> EClaesson: file > open tab
[13:00] <[eXception]> hi, when I enter into my /etc/syslog.conf following lines:  *.*;auth,authpriv.none;local0.none      -/var/log/syslog , local0.* /var/log/php.log ... it still keeps logging into:  /var/log/syslog... why is that?
[13:00] <ruan> EClaesson: in a console(real console) one would use "screen"
[13:01] <EClaesson> ruan, ok thanks a lot
[13:01] <kim_> hello can any 1 help me please i am having trouble with a laptop that wont boot from cd
[13:02] <bazhang> kim_, how old is it, will it boot from usb
[13:02] <XLR8> name & make please Kim_
[13:02] <XLR8> Name please kim_
[13:02] <ruan> kim_: why won't it boot? does it give an error or does it not boot at all?
[13:02] <XLR8> I mean laptop name & make
[13:02] <bazhang> kim_, if it will boot from usb then try burning iso to usb stick using unetbootin
[13:03] <ChipHome> Hi everyone!
[13:03] <XLR8> Like: bazhang :)
[13:03] <kim_> no is very old i have install grub for dos but can not seem to get the commands right to make it boot from cd
[13:03] <bazhang> kim_, how much ram
[13:04] <ChipHome> Need help with support for a HP Mini 210 1020sl netbook: cannot get the synaptics 7.4 clickpad to work...
[13:04] <ruan> kim_: hmm.. does it have a bios?
[13:04] <ChipHome> Also multitouch is not working...
[13:04] <dsnyders> !wireless
[13:04] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: you could always make another bootable USB using a recovery iso like this one - http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?content=TRINITY_RESCUE_KIT____CPR_FOR_YOUR_COMPUTER&front_id=12&lang=en&locale=en
[13:05] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something?
[13:05] <Dave105> bazhang ok mate! i made it
[13:05] <kim_> 256  it did have xp but some one went back to 98
[13:06] <kim_> and yes i made it boot from cd first in the bios
[13:06] <MeanEYE> anyone knows good application I can use with IMAP (GMail specificially)... evolution and thunderbird are slow
[13:07] <bazhang> kim_, did you md5 the iso, burn slowly and do the disk integrity check? is it simply a hardware issue that prevents you from using the cd drive?
[13:07] <airstr1ke> hi. i want to go back to gnome from unity. what's the right way to do that?
[13:08] <kim_> yes idid that and also downloaded the alterit natty narwhale
[13:08] <kim_> even the xp wont boot
[13:09] <kim_> xp cd
[13:09] <XLR8> whats the error kim_?
[13:09] <XLR8> theres some problem with CD rom i guess
[13:11] <kim_> stange thing is partion editor zap disk fires up but becuase there is no oak drives wont do any thing
[13:11] <liminal> hello - im having a problem with halting my system during shutdown .. it hangs during the mounting local file systems because it finds / is busy
[13:12] <liminal> can anyone advise to what might be going on.. and how I find the logs of my shutdown process
[13:13] <kim_> usually error 1 or 17
[13:13] <[segfault]> liminal: you can check /var/log/messages for info on what may be going on.
[13:14] <liminal> i dont see anything from my shutdown process in there
[13:14] <[segfault]> liminal: how about using 'dmesg'?
[13:14] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something?
[13:14] <liminal> again nothing I can find no logging of the processes anywhere
[13:15] <kim_> i dont know and can not find the commands to  tell it to boot cd in grub for dos
[13:16] <_antant> Ok, I have a samba shared folder. The owner and group named in the permissions are both named 'ant' and the user logging in to the share is a member of 'ant'. If I have directory & create mask = 0774 in my smb.conf should that allow me write access?
[13:16] <kim_> i installed grub for dos via floppy
[13:17] <yujing> hello
[13:17] <_antant> hi
[13:17] <admin_> 好啊
[13:17] <_antant> Got it!
[13:18] <oCean> !cn | admin_
[13:18] <admin_> mayisi
[13:19] <admin_> shinishia
[13:19] <admin_> WOCAO
[13:19] <oCean> admin_: stop
[13:19] <[segfault]> liminal: which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[13:20] <admin_> mayisi
[13:20] <SanterDT> hi
[13:20] <liminal> 10.10 32bit
[13:20] <admin_> please speke slowly
[13:21] <bazhang> admin_, ubuntu support question?
[13:21] <admin_> client quit
[13:21] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something?
[13:22] <admin_> very good
[13:22] <admin_> hhaha
[13:22] <bazhang> admin_, chat is NOT here
[13:22] <SanterDT> Hi How can I watch movies on youtube when i've got Xubuntu :D
[13:22] <aseem> SanterDT,enable the flash plugin.
[13:23] <_antant> bazhang_, hey. How do I hide a samba share from all but one group?
[13:23] <Evanescence> SanterDT: if you have not installed, install it in software-center
[13:24] <_antant> Doesn't have to be bazhang by the way
[13:25] <[segfault]> liminal: just curious, is the system a laptop or desktop?  It appears that some folks fixed that problem by manually turning off their wifi before shutting down.  Just curious if that could narrow things down.  Also, you can try to do ctrl-alt-f7 during shutdown to see if there are messages that will help you before the halt.
[13:27] <liminal> desktop
[13:27] <liminal> wifi
[13:27] <liminal> i dont think its wifi related.
[13:27] <liminal> why does it say / busy?
[13:27] <liminal> when dismounting local file systems
[13:28] <liminal> I think its strange that I get no logs what soever
[13:29] <[segfault]> liminal: yeah, definitely strange... does it happen on reboot or only shutdown?
[13:29] <liminal> reboot works fine.. no problems
[13:30] <[TK]D-Fender> _antant: I don't believe there is a way to make the share selectively visible, but you can restrict access to actually using it.
[13:30] <puneet_> hey guys
[13:30] <puneet_> i am having a little problem with the network connection
[13:31] <puneet_> there was a network connection icon o the right top corner through whiich i was able to see the no. of network connections
[13:31] <bazhang> puneet_, need way more details
[13:31] <bazhang> puneet_, then add it back
[13:32] <puneet_> but last night i tried to connect it to my home wifi.......then it just hanged....and when i restarted the pc...the icon was not there
[13:32] <[segfault]> liminal: compare your shutdown scripts in /etc/rc0.d/ to what you have in rc6.d/ and see if there is something you can find there that is causing the issue.  Just going out on a limb, but it might help you get a handle on the shutdown process.
[13:33] <[segfault]> liminal: rc0.d is shutdown, rc6.d is reboot (i should have clarified that, sry)
[13:34] <[segfault]> liminal: your problem is probably happening in the S40 or S60 scripts
[13:34] <Vaati_> hello
[13:34] <Fripon> Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something?
[13:35] <liminal> s90 halt ?
[13:35] <mtlife> ok
[13:35] <[segfault]> liminal: that would be the last step.. you are having problems with the fs umount
[13:36] <Vaati_> how do I use empathy for voice chat via messenger?
[13:36] <liminal> the reboot doesnt have a halt.. it goes straight to the reboot
[13:36] <mtlife> erUSUL: still here? Gparted seems to hang in checking devices (fdisk gives partition table) and even after reboot fsck -y /dev/sda1 gives status 'device busy' even though its not mounted and im running systemrescuecd
[13:37] <[segfault]> liminal: right, as it should.. just wondering if there is a difference in your S40 and S60 scripts compared to the reboot ones.  If not, then you are right, there is something happening in S90 (halt) that is causing it.
[13:37] <liminal> fs umount?
[13:38] <liminal> how do I use that command during shutdown?
[13:38] <[segfault]> liminal: I was just referring to the S40umountfs and S60umountroot scripts.  Seems like S60 is the one since you are having trouble umounting /
[13:38] <venkatesh_> tensorpudding : Thank you for the information...
[13:38] <venkatesh_> thamk you Tensorpudding , do you have any link which as this information..
[13:39] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[13:39] <mtlife> can anyone help me? I cant mount my /dev/sda1, fdisk says partition table is ok but when mounting the drive the mount command hangs, and even without mount my fsck says device is busy
[13:39] <mtlife> what can possible be wrong?
[13:39] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[13:39] <liminal> sometimes i also get IRQ polling errors showing during shutdown
[13:39] <memorygap0> i don't know if is okay to ask this question on irc. it is possible to have 2 php  version install  on the same machine.i'm using ubuntu10.10
[13:40] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[13:40] <liminal> looking at the halting process im wondering if it could be hardware/monitor related
[13:40] <venkatesh_> hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu"
[13:40] <[segfault]> venkatesh_: it deals with byte order (big-endian, little-endian). if you don't know what that is, you probably don't need to use that command.
[13:41] <[segfault]> liminal: it kinda sounds like it, since you are all up to date, kernelwise.
[13:42] <venkatesh_> hi segfault ! I am analysing a code which consists of the above command , so please can u give the information
[13:42] <erUSUL> mtlife: sorry; launch time around here
[13:42] <venkatesh_> hi segfault ! I am analysing a code which consists of the above command , so please can u give the information
[13:43] <[segfault]> venkatesh_: well you can try 'man le16toh' which should be a close explanation.
[13:43] <Vaati_> how do I use empathy to voice chat using the windows messenger protocol?
[13:43] <rayc> how do I set up my wireless card (WPC54G V2) to work with ubuntu desktop version 10.10. I already downloaded the drivers from linksys.com
[13:44] <Alphanaut> can anyone recco a different vpn client for ubuntu than kvpnc, for the life of me i cant get it to run after install, error after error
[13:44] <rayc> make that wpc54gs version 2
[13:44] <ruan> rayc: did you install those drivers?
[13:44] <j_dalmond> guys, is it possible to add fixed size window button to metacity?
[13:44] <venkatesh_> Thank you .....Segfault for the information.....
[13:44] <erUSUL> mtlife: do you see any error messages about ata or the disks in dmesg ?
[13:44] <slipkid08> Yo
[13:44] <kz3> hey guys, which is the best email client for ubuntu?
[13:45] <slipkid08> Thunderbird
[13:45] <erUSUL> !best | kz3
[13:45] <[eXception]> hi help plz
[13:45] <ShawnRisk> I am confused which file to download when my System ID is: 0x01F5: http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bios-hdrs/ and using this page: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/libsmbios_dellBiosUpdate  Any thoughts?
[13:45] <kz3> thunderbird is not working properly on my pc
[13:45] <slipkid08> Ubuntu comes stock with a pretty good mail client anyway though
[13:46] <j_dalmond> guys, is it possible to add fixed size window button to metacity? so that i could make window sized some fixed way in certain situations, not just maximize?
[13:46] <[segfault]> [eXception]: go ahead and ask your question, all on one line, if possible and someone will help if they know the answer.
[13:46] <[eXception]> when I enter into my /etc/syslog.conf following lines:  *.*;auth,authpriv.none;local0.none      -/var/log/syslog ... it still logs  my local0.*into /var/log/syslog
[13:46] <[eXception]> why can that be?
[13:46] <[eXception]> in the next line I have:  local0.* /var/log/php.log
[13:47] <rayc> wireless help please wpc54gs ver.2 on desktop version of ubuntu 10.10
[13:47] <bazhang> rayc, what chipset
[13:48] <Vaati_> how do I use empathy to voice chat via windows messenger?
[13:48] <mtlife> erUSUL: yes there are quite a bit, lemme see if i can upload them to pastebin
[13:48] <rayc> bcm4318 from lspci under network controller
[13:49] <bazhang> !broadcom | rayc
[13:49] <mindware> hi all, anybody knows what's changed (regarding v4l2 sources) in gst-plugins-good-0.10.27 ?
[13:49] <rayc> thanks bazhand
[13:50] <ChrisGagnon_> Fripon: You might want to try your question in #kubuntu
[13:50] <Fripon> I did but the chan looks dead
[13:51] <[segfault]> [eXception]: are you sure that your system is using syslogd and not rsyslog?  I think the newer Ubuntus use rsyslog, and you will find the default configuration under /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
[13:51] <MK`> It's the main ubuntu channel, so it became so active it overflowed and rolled over to 0 activity.
[13:52] <mtlife> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/jN6sG3Nt mostly filesystem errors
[13:54] <ShawnRisk> seems no one can help me
[13:54] <Vaati_> how do I use empathy to voice chat with people who are using msn?
[13:55] <mindware> you convince them to use linux/ubuntu/empathy as well :)
[13:55] <Vaati_> lol...
[13:55] <Vaati_> other than that
[13:55] <mindware> don't know...windoze sukz
[13:55] <gobbler> we have 2x 4core CPUs installed but can only run 4 cores for license reasons. Whats is more efficient, 2 cores active per CPU or only one active CPU
[13:56] <drc> Vaati_: If there is no answer here, try IRC room is #empathy on Gimpnet (irc.gimp.org) as it's Empathy's official irc channel
[13:56] <Vaati_> its even worse than your spelling, mindware
[13:56] <erUSUL> mtlife: error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240) <<< looks like sysrescuecd has an older kernel or something ?
[13:56] <Vaati_> ok  thanks, drc
[13:56] <robdig> ShawnRisk: what is your question?
[13:56] <mindware> 2 cores active per cpu
[13:56] <gobbler> mindware: why?
[13:56] <airwork> hi. i'm trying to fix something on boot and i dropped to a shell with networking. i need, however, to run wvdial to connect with my 3g modem so that i can fix some broken packages. how can I run wvdial and still interact with the prompt?
[13:56] <gobbler> mindware: memory bandwidth?
[13:57] <mindware> less stress on  each CPU , so they run cooler and more reliable...(an you can even overclock them a bit..so u can get the best out of this config...
[13:57] <ruan> airwork: use "screen" to create a seperate screen
[13:57] <ruan> airwork: to work with 2 terminals, etc
[13:57] <airwork> thanks
[13:58] <gobbler> mindware: it is a server - power consumption, heat & overclocking are not of concern
[13:58] <ShawnRisk> robdig: I am trying to update my bios on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I tried this wiki: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/libsmbios_dellBiosUpdate but the system id, 0x01F5 is not supported.  Thoughts?
[13:58] <mindware> gobbler: maybe that too...
[13:58] <oCean> gobbler: it's offtopic
[13:58] <ruan> airwork: the only hotkeys i can remember now is ctrl a+n and ctrl a+a
[13:58] <ruan> ^for screen
[13:59] <airwork> there's no way to open anotehr ttyl or whatever it's called and switch around them?
[13:59] <mtlife> erUSUL: using sysrescuecd 2.0.0, so kernel 2.6.35.10
[13:59] <mtlife> erUSUL: i could try to boot in 2.6.36.2 which im doing now...
[14:00] <erUSUL> mtlife: nvm then the corruption confused the driver. tried e2fsck with -f ( for force )
[14:00] <Neosano> What is the best size for /boot partition? People on the forums simply say "just make it 100 mb to be sure" but I want to keep it as minimal as possilbe (running from usb)
[14:01] <ruan> airwork: screen is the command to open another screen in the console, and to switch between them
[14:01] <mindware> 60M Neosano
[14:01] <ruan> airwork: screen --help
[14:01] <ShawnRisk> robdig: any thoughts?
[14:01] <popdod> wie kann ich von einer Partition alle Daten zu der anderen kopieren? dabei sollten alle Rechte/SoftLinks beibehalten werden
[14:01] <albert_> Neosano, 50M
[14:01] <mtlife> erUSUL: ok gonna try that...
[14:01] <mtlife> erUSUL: and what launch day do you have?
[14:01] <Neosano> okay.. anyone else to say a lower number?
[14:01] <mindware> Neosano ...to be shure..look at your actual /boot  partition..and see how bit it is... and ad..10 M
[14:01] <oCean> ShawnRisk: how does your question relate to ubuntu?
[14:01] <airwork> ruan: screen is not installed
[14:02] <[segfault]> airwork: couldn't you just log into another virtual terminal?  ctrl-alt-f2, for example? or do you need to stay in the same tty?
[14:02] <qubitar> i have a strange issue regarding python
[14:02] <robdig> ShawnRisk: hmm. after looking at it, sounds like your system has a different bios that the article was written for.
[14:02] <drc> ShawnRisk: Just a thought, but if the System ID is not accepted, maybe Dell restricts BIOS updating with Linux tools to systems they support Linux on?
[14:02] <ShawnRisk> oCean: because I have Ubuntu installed on the machine.
[14:02] <ruan> airwork: install it
[14:02] <ShawnRisk> robdig: yep
[14:02] <oCean> ShawnRisk: your question is still offtopic tough
[14:02] <ruan> airwork: came preinstalled for me though
[14:02] <Neosano> ok thanks
[14:02] <ruan> !info screen
[14:03] <albert_> Neosano, 30M
[14:03] <ShawnRisk> drc: yes but people are trying to work on fixes
[14:03] <[segfault]> airwork: you can also run wvdial in the background with 'vwdial &', then bring it to the foreground with 'fg'
[14:03] <ShawnRisk> oCean: I tried hardware channel with no luck
[14:03] <robdig> ShawnRisk: i did find this link http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/firmware-tools-devel/2008-August/000375.html
[14:03] <mindware> Neosano my /boot has 43 M
[14:03] <qubitar> im working on this python based application. every time i put in my amazon affiliate ID into the code, something changes the number to Canonicals
[14:03] <ShawnRisk> oCean: I will try there again
[14:03] <first_time> hi
[14:03] <airwork> [segfault]: i tried using &, but isn't that limited to gnome-terminal?
[14:03] <ruan> airwork: screen controls i remember
[14:03] <robdig> ShawnRisk: says you can use a disk to update it
[14:03] <High_Priest> mindware, I'd go with 50M
[14:03] <[segfault]> airwork: that is an old standard unix command
[14:03] <Neosano> mindware, mine has 97 mb, but it has a lot of kernels on it :O
[14:03] <erUSUL> mtlife: sorry; typo :) imeant *lunch* time.
[14:04] <Gartral> security.ubuntu.com appears too be down for me.
[14:04] <oCean> ShawnRisk: please do
[14:04] <ruan> airwork: ctrl a +Create, ctrl a +Next, ctrl a+bAck
[14:04] <mindware> I go with 50 M also... I have a few kernels as well..
[14:04] <mtlife> erUSUL: hehe, e2fsck -f /dev/sda1 =  device or resource busy
[14:04] <High_Priest> mindware, sorry, you were not the person who asked :)
[14:04] <mtlife> erUSUL: and its not mounted, clean boot
[14:04] <ShawnRisk> robdig: I will look
[14:04] <erUSUL> mtlife: sudo lsof /dev/sda1
[14:04] <Neosano> yeah I think 50 is ok, thanks
[14:04] <[segfault]> airwork: ruan is right, though.. screen is probably what you really want.  it won't take long to master it.
[14:04] <[eXception]> :q
[14:04] <airwork> ruan: screen simply isn't installed and i can't install it unless i can both connect and run commands
[14:04] <mindware> High_Priest no problem
[14:04] <Gartral> my boot is 100mb, but i keep a lot of custom kernels.
[14:04] <[eXception]> thx segfault!
[14:05] <admin_> no it is not
[14:05] <airwork> i just want to run "wvdial" and "sudo apt-get update"
[14:05] <ruan> wvdial && sudo apt-get update
[14:05] <robdig> ShawnRisk: good luck
[14:05] <ruan> or something like that
[14:05] <[segfault]> [eXception]: so, I take it, that worked? :)
[14:05] <ShawnRisk> robdig: thanks
[14:05] <airwork> ruan: except that that would wait for wvdial to end before running sudo apt-get update
[14:05] <mindware> Gartral , we doubt that he wants a usb flash bootable ubuntu with more that one kernel... :)
[14:05] <ruan> gah, hmm
[14:06] <mtlife> erUSUL: i get nothing ;/
[14:06] <erUSUL> mtlife: indeed
[14:06] <Gartral> mindware: ahh! not unless he plans on keeping one for a specific arch.
[14:06] <airwork> [segfault]: hm, i got it. wvdial & is what i wanted. i just got confused by the stdout stuff
[14:06] <airwork> [segfault]: i assumed it wasn't going to let me type :P
[14:06] <airwork> thanks [segfault] and ruan
[14:06] <mtlife> erUSUL: other ideas?
[14:07] <[segfault]> airwork: that's the whole point of '&'. it works great to start something going and then gives you back control. :)
[14:07] <ruan> ok hes gone.
[14:07] <[segfault]> yep
[14:08] <mindware> Gartral true :) but if that was the case..he would have known how much of a /boot to make... :D
[14:08] <Ziber> What package do I need for do-release-upgrade?
[14:09] <apporc> Hello,everyone .I found that the default permission mode of home derectory for a new user in ubuntu is 755. And anyone else can read it .How can i change this default behaviour?
[14:09] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[14:09] <haxd> afternoon
 i guess so.. it still has some strange behavior.. but I think its my app
[14:09] <mindware> BluesKaj hey!
[14:09] <erUSUL> mtlife: nope :(
[14:09] <first_time> i need very simple ide  for pascal
[14:09] <first_time> i need very simple ide  for pascal&
[14:09] <the_real_dave> @apporc To change for every new user created, or a specific existing user?
[14:09] <first_time> i need very simple ide  for pascal&?
[14:10] <qubitar> mark shuttleworth won't stop reading my e-mails
[14:10] <erUSUL> mtlife: does the partition belong to a raid array or something?
[14:10] <bazhang> first_time, dont repeat
[14:10] <mindware> first_time ...don't push it..!
[14:10] <bazhang> qubitar, wrong channel
[14:10] <apporc> the_real_dave:a new user created
[14:10] <mtlife> erUSUL: no, no raid array. just default ext4 partition.
[14:10] <mindware> first_time google it..
[14:10] <oCean> mindware: now that is never helpful
[14:10] <bazhang> mindware, please never suggest that here
[14:11] <qubitar> google is the devil
[14:11] <first_time> not lazarus something else
[14:11] <qubitar> bing it
[14:11] <apporc> Hello,everyone .I found that the default permission mode of home derectory for a new user in ubuntu is 755. And anyone else can read it .How can i change this default behaviour?
[14:11] <the_real_dave> apporc: Easiest way is to run gksudo nautilus, browse to the directory /home, then right click, change the permissions
[14:11] <overclucker> apporc: you can change the umask in /etc/profile
[14:11] <mindware> oCean , bazhang ok,sorry, but i had to reply the way he deserved...
[14:11] <bazhang> mindware, that is never appropriate here
[14:12] <[segfault]> first_time: how about gedit? it has modes for a lot of languages as a simple ide
[14:12] <apporc> I still found that in other distribution such as redhat suse ,the default permission of a new user's home directory is 700.
[14:12] <apporc> How can that be?
[14:12] <Fripon> I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something?
[14:12] <the_real_dave> apporc: Right click on the folder, click properties, go to the permissions tab and change it to what you'd like
[14:12] <mindware> first_time ,listen to [segfault] and i'm not kidding
[14:12] <mtlife> erUSUL: Well, if you are out of ideas im gonna post on a forum for some help. Thanks for your time anyway:)
[14:12] <[segfault]> first_time: just open gedit, then go to View/Highlight Mode/Sources/Pascal
[14:12] <overclucker> apporc: or if you don't want it to be global, you can add a .profile to /etc/skel with the umask  you want for new users
[14:13] <apporc> If it is because of the umask of /etc/profile.how to change it .
[14:13] <the_real_dave> apporc: I'm not sure why it's that by default >.>
[14:13] <erUSUL> mtlife: no problem
[14:13] <apporc> I know how to change it manually.but what i care is its default behaviour.
[14:13] <mindware> apporc or get a terminal and write sudo chmod 700 /home
[14:13] <haxd> I opened update manager and it said there was a google chrome stable update so i updated it and now dpkg is frozen/locked and it's stuck at "unpacking replacement google-chrome-stable". Update manager won't close :(
[14:13] <haxd> Anyone know what I can do?
[14:14] <the_real_dave> apporc:Then I'm not sure tbh
[14:14] <apporc> i think the default permission mode of a new users home directory is none of the root's umask value.
[14:14] <oCean> apporc: you could change that in /etc/adduser.conf
[14:14] <mindware> haxd reboot for first
[14:14] <oCean> apporc: see DIR_MODE
[14:14] <Abhijit> haxd, http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/apt-get-how-to-fix-very-broken-packages/
[14:14] <apporc> adduser.conf?
[14:14] <haxd> kill -9 won't even close it!
[14:14] <haxd> wtf
[14:14] <oCean> haxd: mind the language
[14:15] <haxd> sorry I am a programmer
[14:15] <haxd> :P
[14:15] <apporc> Yeah ,i have seen that.
[14:15] <first_time> [segfault]: but gedit don't compiles cod
[14:15] <apporc> oCean:thanks.
[14:15] <agw> salut @ tous !
[14:15] <apporc> thank you all.
[14:15] <[segfault]> first_time: well, you will have to do that, of course with the pascal compiler you are running, but it is a great ide on its own
[14:15] <oCean> !fr > agw
[14:16] <IdleOne> haxd: how long has it been "stuck" ?
[14:16] <agw> ok
[14:16] <qweqweqwe> how can i specify nfs mounts on a laptop that only activate if the network is there?
[14:16] <[segfault]> first_time: if you look under gedit preferences, there is a plugin that you can use to execute external commands from within gedit, so you can just do it that way.
[14:16] <haxd> IdleOne: 20 minutes
[14:17] <Abhijit> haxd, seen the link?
[14:17] <haxd> update manager just quit now
[14:17] <haxd> dpkg is still open though
[14:17] <haxd> Abhijit: does not apply to this
[14:17] <Abhijit> nvm then
[14:17] <haxd> had no errors about "very broken packages"
[14:17] <himani> hello
[14:17] <haxd> dpkg just froze whilst trying to unpack the package by what i can tell
[14:17] <Asad2005> I have a file in my /home named .xsession-errors.old size almost 40 GB can i safely remove this file ?
[14:18] <mindware> Asad2005 safely :)
[14:18] <robdig> first_time: here is a link to opensource ides, includes some for pascal. i've not used them, vim is my favorite. http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/firmware-tools-devel/2008-August/000375.html
[14:18] <oCean> qweqweqwe: see the _netdev option in the manpage of mount command. You can use _netdev in /etc/fstab
[14:18] <[segfault]> Asad2005: wow.. 40gb.. yeah, but fix the problem that is causing all those errors first if you can :)
[14:18] <himani> can anybody tell me how to display the data of hindi database in mysql  in java in ubuntu
[14:19] <haxd> http://paste.ubuntu.com/582106/ < this process is still running after update-manager died
[14:19] <himani> it is stored in mysql normally bt in java it is not showing in hindi
[14:19] <haxd> and won't be killed
[14:19] <haxd> which would be bad anyway
[14:19] <haxd> what can I do?
[14:19] <mindware> haxd ,really...reboot..nothing is perfect...
[14:19] <qweqweqwe> oCean: kind of, but i plug into different networks, i need to know the mount is there, not network in general (close though)
[14:20] <oCean> haxd: nothing but reboot. The D is uninterruptable sleep..
[14:20] <Abhijit> himani, try in #ubuntu-in
[14:20] <oCean> qweqweqwe: I don't think there is an option
[14:20] <haxd> why would it get itself into that situation
[14:20] <Asad2005> mindware: [segfault] i have seen this message a lot in .Xsession-errors file "(Pidgin:2036): Json-CRITICAL **: json_node_get_int: assertion `node != NULL' failed"
[14:20] <himani> what is dis ubuntu-in?
[14:20] <qweqweqwe> oCean: seems crazy to me, nfs has been weird about missing shares for over a decade, and it's still not been addressed
[14:20] <oCean> haxd: it is waiting for another process to finish. That other process is probably waiting for i/o wich will never finish
[14:20] <albert_> #ubuntu-cn
[14:21] <albert_> #ubuntu-tw
[14:21] <oCean> qweqweqwe: I agree, but have no solution there :(
[14:21] <Asad2005> [segfault]: As a start i van delete the file yes?
[14:21] <Asad2005> can
[14:21] <himani> as hindi is Unicode so java is not displaying hindi
[14:21] <mindware> Asad2005 stop using pidgin for now, uninstall it ,update x if you can , and try after that
[14:21] <haxd> sigh
[14:21] <haxd> i will be back
[14:21] <qweqweqwe> oCean: i hate having to admit such to my windows colleagues, that have never had that problem ;-)
[14:22] <rizzuh> Here we ago again. The UI completely froze, nothing, no button works, at ALL. I have the latest updates on 10.10 as of 20 minutes ago. What the heck is wrong? This has been happening since 10.04. I think I have a bug report open from the time of the 10.04 release.
[14:22] <[segfault]> Asad2005: sure, just copy a bit of the end of it so you have those errors to go from in your search for a fix.
[14:22] <oCean> qweqweqwe: well, you could make it automount
[14:22] <Abhijit> himani, #ubuntu-in is indian ubuntu channel. if someone else have tried the same think as yours they may know about it. also ask in ##linux-india
[14:22] <mindware> Asad2005 yes ,you can safely delete it...it's just a log ..telling you what errors have been reported
[14:23] <Asad2005> [segfault]: Its a back up file i have the same file but not ending with .old which has a 183 kb only
[14:23] <oCean> qweqweqwe: Using autofs, a filesystem is not mounted until the mountpoint is accessed.
[14:23] <himani> so there is no font for this, or you dont know?
[14:23] <[segfault]> Asad2005: if you have .xsession-errors in your home dir and it's small, then you don't have anything to worry about, unless it is all from very recently.
[14:23] <qweqweqwe> oCean: mm i noticed that, thanks, will read up tomorrow.
[14:24] <first_time> [segfault]:thanks

[14:26] <syn3rgy> Worried about Natty using Wayland to replace the x stack. We have a bunch of Nvidia GTX 460 graphic cards for HD 1080p screens doing 3D work. Will Unity screw up the Nvidia drivers?
[14:26] <bazhang> Neosano, mindware #ubuntu-offtopic please
[14:26] <mindware> Neosano =))
[14:26] <mindware> Neosano sorry, had no ideeea
[14:26] <[segfault]> syn3rgy: try that on #ubuntu+1
[14:26] <Pici> syn3rgy: Natty doesn't use Wayland. #ubuntu+1 for further natty discussion please.
[14:26] <mindware> Neosano Vera
[14:26] <bazhang> mindware, stop that
[14:26] <Neosano> xD
[14:27] <syn3rgy> segfault and Pic thx for the heads up. The # is so noisy.
[14:28] <mindware> bazhang c'mon ...it was helping the man... :)
[14:29] <Pici> !ot | mindware Neosano
[14:29] <bazhang> mindware, no. this is NOT the chat channel, and that is not appropriate.
[14:29] <Neosano> I got it, thanks
[14:29] <peter_felching> Hi. Why does dose
[14:29] <peter_felching> ups
[14:29] <mindware> bazhang sorry
[14:29] <bob__185> how do I change channels using smuxi?
[14:30] <peter_felching> Hi. Why does placing 'export PS1='something' in .bashrc does not 't work?
[14:30] <mindware> Neosano ok man, cut it out.. it was fun..now it's not..
[14:31] <sipior> peter_felching: .bashrc is only sourced for non-login interactive shells. is yours a login shell?
[14:31] <[segfault]> peter_felching: if so, use .bash_profile
[14:32] <peter_felching> sipior, can you explain the login/non-login concept to me?
[14:33] <Sonne> peter_felching, you might want to place that line into .profile
[14:33] <Hedgehog456> is winetricks safe to use?
[14:33] <sipior> peter_felching: nothing much to explain, really. you can have a look at the INVOCATION section of the bash manpage, but the distinction comes largely out of historical usage.
[14:33] <Sonne> Hedgehog456, if you run it as normal user, and have nothing very important in your .wine, then yes
[14:34] <peter_felching> Thanks all.
[14:34] <Hedgehog456> Sonne: but doesn't it need to be installed as root?
[14:35] <Sonne> Hedgehog456, not really
[14:35] <Sonne> you should run winetricks with the same user you plan to run wine as
[14:37] <ruan> Hedgehog456: winetricks simply installs windows libraries.

[14:40] <pcpower> every time I unplug my keyboard, xorg starts using 100% cpu forever. any idea what's wrong??
[14:41] <kleberson> iaé
[14:41] <[segfault]> pcpower: usb keyboard?
[14:41] <pcpower> yes
[14:41] <kleberson> as coisas como é que taa aii
[14:41] <mindware> pcpower : bug i guess...
[14:41] <pcpower> also every time X starts up I have to unplug/replug my keyboard to get it to work
[14:41] <pcpower> so there's no way to avoid causing it to use 100% cpu
[14:42] <mindware> pcpower : that happens with every version of ubuntu?
[14:43] <Socky_net> So im using a socks5 proxy, and i have a ssh -D 7071 user@myproxy established. Then in my proxy settings i picked socks 5, and 127.0.0.1 port 7071 , and then i said to apply system wide.  From my testing, only my http traffic seems to be going through the proxy.  Am i understanding this system wide setting wrong?
[14:43] <Curly_Q> Pcpower unplugging and plugging in your keyboard while the computer is running is not a good idea.
[14:43] <Curly_Q> Pcpower is your keyboard a USB?
[14:44] <mindware> he said yes
[14:44] <Curly_Q> OK.
[14:44] <[segfault]> pcpower: have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log or .xsession-errors in your home dir.
[14:44] <ShawnRisk> how do I add a new option to the grub configuration in 10.10?
[14:44] <Curly_Q> I would try another keyboard first.
[14:46] <Dave105> help
[14:46] <bazhang> Dave105, with what
[14:46] <sacarlson>  Socky_net: I'm not sure about ssh for a proxy,  I have seen them use them but I normaly use openvpn for my choice of diverting trafic
[14:46] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: You have to edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[14:47] <Dave105> bazhang nothing. i meant to type "forwardslash"/help
[14:47] <Socky_net> sacarlson, does all traffic go through the vpn?
[14:47] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: If you look at this page: http://www.felix-schwarz.name/Flashing_a_Dell_Bios_with_Linux_(en) and step 7 that is what I want to do.
[14:48] <sacarlson> Socky_net: I guess you can set it up that way but I normaly don't
[14:48] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: I don't see a step 7 there, just an empty article page in german... wrong link?
[14:49] <Dave105> bazhang im registered now. but i registered with a wrong email address. instead of .co.uk id put .com and i didnt receive anything yet to complete the registration :\
[14:49] <mikebeecham> is it worth updating to 11.04 yet?
[14:49] <bazhang> Dave105, ask in #freenode please
[14:49] <bazhang> mikebeecham, not now
[14:49] <bazhang> mikebeecham, #ubuntu+1 for more
[14:49] <mikebeecham> bazhang, still quite buggy?
[14:49] <mikebeecham> ok
[14:49] <gloria98> ciao
[14:50] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: nope it is the right page.  I pmed you the page.
[14:50] <sacarlson> Socky_net: something like sudo openvpn --dev tun0 --ifconfig 10.2.2.3 10.2.2.2  for the client side
[14:50] <bazhang> !it | gloria98
[14:50] <Isaac370> hola
[14:50] <gloria98> ok hi
[14:51] <Isaac370> un saludo a todos los los miembros de este chat
[14:51] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: yeah, just add that line in step 7 to your /etc/grub.d/40_custom and you should be good to go.
[14:51] <bazhang> !es | Isaac370
[14:51] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: of course make any modifications needed for your current setup.
[14:52] <Isaac370> ok gracias
[14:52] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: okay and then do update-grub?
[14:52] <Socky_net> sacarlson, and i guess I would need to setup vpn on my server as well
[14:52] <sacarlson> Socky_net: opps this is the client side openvpn --remote remote.site.ip.or.com --dev tun0  --ifconfig 10.2.2.2 10.2.2.3
[14:52] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: should the new option be listed?  Also it is three lines not one
[14:52] <ruan> is there a way to share my internet with the phone? as to give my phone internet access
[14:52] <ruan> internet connecting ^
[14:52] <ruan> connection*
[14:52] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: Yes, think you need to update-grub after
[14:53] <bazhang> ruan, tethering?
[14:53] <sacarlson> Socky_net: yes both sides need to be setup but in this example there is no encryption
[14:53] <morris1> hi. i'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom and i am on 10.04. after reinstalling xserver-xorg-input-wacom and restarting ubuntu, there is no *-wacom.conf in my usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. what am i doing wrong?
[14:53] <ruan> is it possible to do it via bluetooth?
[14:53] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: yep, three lines
[14:53] <ruan> its a smartphone if it matters
[14:53] <sacarlson> Socky_net: then it's up to the client how they want to route trafic if most or just some
[14:54] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: how do I get grub to come up if it doesn't show up?
[14:54] <Socky_net> k, thanks
[14:54] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: hold tab, shift, or esc
[14:54] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: not tab, just shift or hit esc...
[14:54] <bazhang> ShawnRisk, hold shift
[14:54] <ShawnRisk> bazhang: okay
[14:57] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: I don't see the new option I put in
[14:58] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: make sure it matches the others in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.  it should start with "menuentry", not "title" like the dell instructions say.  Do not edit grub.cfg directly though, use the 40_custom file
[14:58] <Dave105> bazhang im now registered thanks :)
[14:58] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: let me try this again
[15:03] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: the other lines are fine?
[15:05] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: I think so, but I have never done what you are attempting...
[15:05] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: okay let me try this now
[15:05] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: just make sure you use the proper syntax and the last } on its own line

[15:06] <Pumpkin-> sponzor: cd "some directory"
[15:07] <EvilPhoenix> LordAndy:  you need to be more specific than "can someone help me with a printer problem".
[15:07] <EvilPhoenix> LordAndy:  what is the problem specifically?
[15:07] <sponzor> tnx
[15:07] <mindware> sponzor use the double TAB tapping method :)
[15:07] <Abhinav1>  /msg Nickserv identify Newstart
[15:07] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: These instructions are probably for grub, not grub2, so maybe the kernel command is different.  lemme see what I can find
[15:07] <Pici> !grub2
[15:08] <Br0sephStalin> hmmm
[15:08] <erUSUL> Abhinav1: we all have seen the password. change it
[15:08] <erUSUL> Abhinav1: nest time do this in the server windows to avoid mistakes like this ;)

[15:09] <Pici> Dave105: No.
[15:09] <Dave105> nice :)
[15:10] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: it says kernel changed to linux

[15:17] <kaizi> Hi
[15:18] <aflaouras> hello guys..
[15:18] <aflaouras> I use ubuntu , and i have this problem...
[15:18] <aflaouras> I have the kernel 2.6.38.7 , but i had many problems with fglrx graphics driver (for ati). So i use the open drivers... But these drivers increase the temperature of the cores (about 70 and more celcius)
[15:18] <Sonne> memorygap0, such as?
[15:18] <FloodBot3> aflaouras: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:18] <aflaouras> Is there any solution for this?
[15:18] <ruan> aflaouras: laptop?
[15:18] <Sonne> aflaouras, by cores you mean CPU or GPU?
[15:19] <aflaouras> @ruan - toshiba laptop
[15:19] <aflaouras> @Sonne- CPU
[15:19] <_antant> toshiba sucks balls
[15:19] <memorygap0> Sonne: http://pastebin.com/z8i1H1N6
[15:19] <oCean> aflaouras: what ubuntu version are you using?
[15:19] <_antant> give it a month and it'll be overheating
[15:19] <oCean> _antant: don't use that language here
[15:19] <saliak> when i try to apt-get install, it spews that there are unmet dependencies that can't be installed (http://pastebin.com/UzHjqWpc).  how would that get resolved? (never seen that from apt before)
[15:19] <researcher1> I want to understand file system and CLI basics
[15:19] <_antant> sorry
[15:19] <aflaouras> @oCean - 10.04 lts
[15:19] <Sonne> memorygap0, that doesn't seem like lots of errors
[15:20] <_antant> I had one. It blew
[15:20] <oCean> aflaouras: with 2.6.38 kernel??
[15:20] <Sonne> memorygap0, you must have pasted that command from some website aye?
[15:20] <aflaouras> @oCean yes 2.6.38.7
[15:20] <Sonne> try changing the symbol before the "get" word with a double dash (--)
[15:20] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: here is what I have: menuentry 'Dell Bios Update' { linux /memdisk floppy initrd /Win1501263.img } and I tried with: linux /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk floppy and nothing worked so I am trying to above now.
[15:21] <Sonne> as in: dpkg --get-selections | grep php
[15:21] <oCean> aflaouras: that kernel did not come from the ubuntu repositories, your config is not supported here
[15:21] <aflaouras> @oCean the problem with the temperature was in every kernel with the open drivers of ati
[15:21] <memorygap0> thanks
[15:21] <oCean> aflaouras: so it is not an ubuntu issue at all, it's offtopic
[15:21] <memorygap0> Sonne: thanks that command from website
[15:22] <memorygap0> not it works
[15:22] <Sonne> awesome :)
[15:22] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: definitely make sure the } is on a separate line just like the pastebin says

[15:29] <aeon-ltd> anyone here use apt-fast? if you do is it much faster?
[15:30] <AnubArack> how can I install java on Wine ? some windows program needs it
[15:30] <ruan> aeon-ltd: i don't mind the speed of apt-get. the speed is the same as my connection speed
[15:30] <ruan> AnubArack: install java for windows on wine?
[15:30] <oCean> AnubArack: ask in #winehq channel
[15:30] <memorygap0> is this important "Distribution Upgrade"
[15:31] <ruan> memorygap0: depends what version you currently have
[15:31] <ruan> memorygap0: it is generally important though
[15:31] <memorygap0> ruan:  im using ubuntu10.10
[15:32] <Dinliani> hi
[15:32] <Dinliani> how to fix that: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2_core-2.8.so.0
[15:32] <Dinliani> i cant find any lubwx onto ubuntu
[15:32] <ruan> memorygap0: there is no distribution upgrade on 10.10 yet.
[15:33] <memorygap0> ruan: distribution upgrade running on laptop how to stop ?
[15:33] <unknown_> Hi guys! I am running Ubuntu Netbook through Wubi, now I want to delete my WIndows partion, can I do this directly through Ubuntu?
[15:33] <ruan> unknown_: i dont think you can do it from wubi
[15:34] <AdvoWork> if ive got a virtual server, and am going to be backing more VM's (this one to run postgresql/php/apache) would I use ubuntu, or ubuntu server? or doesnt it matter
[15:34] <ruan> !wubi
[15:34] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: still didn't work on, but I got no errors, just some R something pops up but I can't pause to see what this.
[15:34] <ruan> "windows application"
[15:34] <unknown_> ruan, what if I put a windows CD, delete the partion, will the wubi still be the same?
[15:34] <DJones> unknown_: A wubi install is just a file held within the windows system files, if you deleted your windows partition, you would also delete your wubi installation
[15:34] <_antant> Anyone know why my ubuntu box would occasionally beep at me?
[15:34] <ruan> ^^
[15:34] <unknown_> Ahh DJones, I see
[15:34] <ruan> lol.
[15:35] <memorygap0> ruan:  following this tuts http://www.rasyid.net/2010/12/15/downgrade-php-version-from-5-3-to-5-2-on-ubuntu-10-10-x86/ the distribution upgrade run
[15:35] <unknown_> DJones, my ubuntu is abit laggy now, do you think removing windows will make it run better?
[15:35] <memorygap0> ruan: do you have any idea y?
[15:36] <DJones> unknown_: I don't know, I've never used a wubi installation so I don't know how it would be affected
[15:36] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: you probably need to add 'set root=(hd0,0)' or whatever root matches your current system
[15:36] <ruan> memorygap0: is your system time/date correct?
[15:36] <[eXception]> hi
[15:36] <unknown_> Ahh okay djones, thank you. Is it hard to install Ubuntu through a CD? Anything specific i should know?
[15:36] <ruan> !install | unknown_
[15:36] <ruan> usb install is an option
[15:36] <[eXception]> Hi... whats the best tool to read and analyse syslog emssages?
[15:36] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: something like set root='(hd0, msdos1)' ?
[15:36] <DJones> unknown_: If you use the desktop cd/usb install, its very easy
[15:37] <ruan> yep
[15:37] <unknown_> okay DJones, thank you
[15:37] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: yes
[15:37] <robdig> [eXception]: your favorite text editor
[15:37] <memorygap0> ruan: can i check that
[15:37] <ruan> unknown_: if you choose to allow ubuntu the entire disk, it will delete all partitions including windows one.
[15:37] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: let me try that
[15:37] <[eXception]> robdig: I thought some tool with highlighting and filtering several severities....
[15:37] <[eXception]> like kiwi for windows
[15:38] <ruan> unknown_: it wont reserve the data from windows though
[15:38] <unknown_> okay ruan, I don't seem to find the ubuntu install, that I can put in my USB, can you please link me it
[15:38] <robdig> [eXception]: cool, but i do not know of any
[15:38] <ruan> unknown_: all you need is a usb and an ubuntu iso
[15:38] <[eXception]> in whole ubuntu
[15:38] <ruan> !usbinstall
[15:38] <[eXception]> ßß
[15:38] <[eXception]> thats poor
[15:38] <ruan> !usb
[15:39] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: you may even need all of this, like - http://pastebin.com/b6fd088c
[15:39] <ruan> memorygap0: is your current version 10.10 or is it upgrading to 10.10?
[15:40] <oracle> am i right in saying that only kernel security updates warrant reboots
[15:40] <raido> oracle: Ill buy that
[15:40] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: I am trying that pastebin thanks
[15:41] <memorygap0> ruan: my current version is 10.10 the upgrade stop now.thanks a lot for help.i get back if i encounter prob again'
[15:41] <raido> oracle: i usually wont reboot even in that case unless the exploit is remote-able.
[15:41] <oracle> raido, that too
[15:41] <oracle> remotely exploitable kernel updates require reboots in my case too
[15:41] <ruan> or if i notice any slugginess
[15:42] <ruan> which is rare.. doesnt happen
[15:42] <oracle> raido, how do you keep track of such exploits being updated at the kernel
[15:42] <oracle> raido, is there a list i dont know of
[15:42] <LordAndy> HP Printer question: HP Deskjet D3260 correctly installed and detected through usb. but when I try to print something, all I get is a blank page. The printer seems to be printing, but nothing is printed out. what can be wrong then ?
[15:42] <ruan> !print | LordAndy
[15:42] <LordAndy> ink cartridge is of course installed :)
[15:42] <ruan> check hardware support
[15:43] <raido> oracle: I think you can track the patches at kernel.org or also through ubuntu.
[15:43] <LordAndy> ruan: it's supported. found driver included in my Ubuntu installation
[15:44] <itaylor57> LordAndy: the hplib package can help
[15:44] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: that still didn't work out.  I am not sure what the R thing it is showing up.
[15:44] <ruan> there's an RSS feed for kernel.org
[15:44] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: R thing?
[15:45] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: when I go through the process after selecting the menu item in grub, I get on one screen R something but it is too fast to figure out what it is.
[15:45] <Pr070cal> hi is there any way to manage usb devices to disable or power off specific devices ?
[15:46] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: also does recordfail mean that I can look up what happened somewhere?
[15:46] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: I got those lines from my own grub.cfg, so they may or may not apply.  Thought it was worth a shot
[15:47] <Liam> Would someone be able to help me with my wubi install of ubuntu? I want to remove windows so Ubuntu is my sole OS and I don't know how
[15:47] <ruan> Liam: you'll need to do a LiveCD install then.
[15:47] <Liam> Ruan: D: Are you sure?! I spent most of last night getting this version working
[15:48] <Abhijit> Liam, if you remove this windows you will also loose your this wubi install. for only linux you need to make a clean new install
[15:48] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: I am not sure what else to do.  I tried with the pastebin you have and nothing.
[15:48] <LordAndy> !hplip
[15:48] <Liam> Crud. Thanks guys. D:
[15:49] <[segfault]> Shawn maybe if you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg, there is something I am missing
[15:50] <juk> !wubi | Liammm
[15:50] <ruan> liam is gone :S
[15:50] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: another thing you can try is just to hit shift at boot and then select your regular boot line and hit 'e' to edit that entry temporarily and have it point to the dell image
[15:51] <usr13> ruan: Not necessarily a "LiveCD Install".  Just a fresh install.
[15:51] <juk> ruan: ah, yet another heart-broken...
[15:51] <ruan> fresh install = livecd install
[15:51] <usr13> ruan: Again, no.
[15:51] <giant420> anyone know if it is possible to change the sort order in the nm-applet for gnome?
[15:51] <ruan> eh.
[15:52] <francesco_> ciao a tutti ci sono italiani ?
[15:52] <giant420> i want to have it sort by proximity, as opposed to alphabetically
[15:52] <Pici> !it | francesco_
[15:52] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: in mine it is pointing to /boot/Win1501263.img
[15:52] <usr13>  !alternate | ruan
[15:52] <ruan> yeah but i meant "livecd" as all methods to install ubuntu
[15:52] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: confirm too that the DME521-010104.img file is in the /boot directory and named correctly.
[15:52] <ruan> its common
[15:53] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: it is, but as you see above I am using a different file
[15:53] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: ok, so long as the filename and the grub line are in agreement.
[15:53] <mang0> hey :)
[15:53] <usr13> ruan: That may be what you mean, but is not, ... well never mind, it is not important.  I was only trying to let you know that your choice of words were less than accurate.
[15:54] <ruan> ok then
[15:54] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: yes they are
[15:55] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: hmm.. so everything else is good, then?  memdisk is installed and at /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk.. the biosdisk script has been modified or the dosdisk.img is at /usr/share/biosdisk, etc.?
[15:55] <ruan> how would i restart bluetooth/blueman? it's made an irreversible error and i need to restart it
[15:56] <_antant> Anyone got any experience getting the VFC on an Antec Fusion working?
[15:56] <wonjan> hello
[15:56] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: I guess since you have the img file made, biosdisk worked
[15:56] <Pr070cal> how can i manage my usb devices eg disable a usb port
[15:56] <wonjan> dajiahao
[15:57] <wonjan> hello everyone  where do  you come from?
[15:57] <arand> !ot | wonjan
[15:59] <wonjan> arand   hello!!!
[15:59] <ruan> lol
[16:00] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: let me look.  I am putting memdisk at /boot/memdisk  biosdisk script is at /home/shawn/Desktop/biodisk and the baseDir is changed too.
[16:01] <jillybones> is there a way to view sent mail in ubuntu server cli?
[16:01] <daweefolk> are there any psx emulators that use aalib?
[16:01] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: well, if you still can't get it, I think the easiest way to do this would be to just make an dos boot cd from a place like www.bootdisk.com and put the dell biod executable on that.  Then just boot off the cd and you are good to go.
[16:03] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: you can get the freedos iso here - http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/
[16:03] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: thanks, but two last things, why do I need floppy at the end of linux line.  second, how do I get grub from not showing up anymore?  It is not starting each time.
[16:06] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: I don't know why the instructions have 'floppy' in there, and no idea what it does, really!  If you remove that new section that you have been working on from your 40_custom file grub should hide again at boot
[16:06] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: let me try that
[16:08] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: thanks for your help everything is back to normal.  Just weird that this didn't work out for me
[16:10] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: well they are old instructions and for the old version of grub, so it was going to be tough.  like I said, though, this would be easiest just booting off a freedos cd and doing the bios update from there.
[16:10] <kek> how can i turn off or configure those notification boxes (like "Network / Disconnected - you are now offline")
[16:10] <coz_>  hey all
[16:10] <usr13> kek: Is it from network-manager?
[16:11] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: thanks, I will try and get the owner of that site to update this
[16:11] <kek> usr13: don't know. probably?
[16:11] <trism> kek: it is usually on a per-app basis, although you could uninstall notify-osd if you didn't want any (for network-manager there was a gconf key, but I don't know what the option would be in natty)
[16:11] <usr13> kek: Well, I don't know, but you can switch to wicd:  apt-get remove network-manager ; apt-get install wicd
[16:13] <shell> hola alguien conoce algun comando para cerrar un programa desde terminal que no sea kill
[16:14] <erUSUL> !es | shell
[16:14] <shell> ok
[16:14] <Dice-Man> !fr | shell
[16:15] <Dice-Man> ok
[16:15] <wn1zid-work> hi, what do i need to be able to read and open zip files ?? tyhanks
[16:15] <usr13> wn1zid-work: unzip
[16:15] <wn1zid-work> ok thank you, have a great day.
[16:16] <usr13> np
[16:16] <trism> kek: sorry, I thought I was in a different channel, the gconf key is /apps/nm-applet/disable-connected-notifications, you can disable them in gconf-editor
[16:17] <bob__534> wnlzid-work: extract does it as well
[16:17] <neitham> anybody know the location of libtcl.so and tcl.h?
[16:17] <stephaaan> anyone knows if I can do "make && make modules_install" without affecting the currently running kernel?
[16:17] <syncopated> any ideas how to fix this? my "ls" command is now extremely slow after I deleted like 75k small files  that outputted from a script I wrote to my /home directory. The files are gone but ls is just deadly slow
[16:18] <ninjai_> ai
[16:18] <johnm> rename u19809 wim_delvaux,,,_fb
[16:18] <johnm> save
[16:18] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: I can't find any email address
[16:19] <trism> stephaaan: as long as you gave the kernel a different EXTRA_VERSION in the Makefile, it won't overwrite the modules in /lib/modules/
[16:19] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: well the site was last updated in Jul 2007, so...
[16:20] <stephaaan> good point...so just add "-vpnenabled" to EXTRAVERSION and I'm good to go? :)
[16:20] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: hehehe, so this is outdated information for sure.  Yes I did see that.  I mean I really don't have to fix this problem, just something I would like to try.
[16:20] <trism> stephaaan: yep
[16:20] <stephaaan> nice, thank you!
[16:20] <stephaaan> :)
[16:21] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: well getting the freedos basecd would be pretty quick :)
[16:21] <kek> trism: usr13: thanks!

[16:23] <Chubbz> Question: I was using dd to copy a partition from one drive to another. What I didn't realize is that I should have made the partitions the exact same size. Now I have a 500 GB drive that thinks it only has a 250 gb partition on it and nothing else. Is there a way to fix this without recopying the data?
[16:23] <kek> trism: actually, i am using natty. and i've already uninstalled notify-osd. but thanks for the pointers though. might try wicd instead then
[16:23] <aminixfan> Hi,I want to learn some GUI development,but i don't know which GUI library has brighter future,QT,GTK or something else?please give me some advice.
[16:23] <ruan> Chubbz: you could resize the partition
[16:23] <bubblegummybear> aminixfan: GTK+
[16:24] <Chubbz> ruan: Yeah, that's what I thought, just make it the same size as the original one with gparted?
[16:24] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: for sure. thanks for the instructions.  All I need to do is download Free DOS Live CD, and put biosdisk on there and just execute that? If so please let me know as I might try later, just need lunch.
[16:24] <ruan> Chubbz: yes. from a livecd/gparted disk
[16:25] <trism> kek: if you uninstalled notify-osd and you're still getting notifications, you have another notification daemon installed...I found strangely that I have notification-daemon as well as notify-osd installed, might try removing that too
[16:25] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: yep, that should do it.  basically that is what those instructions were having you do, only via grub.  I gotta go check on my maple syrup boiling and get lunch also, so I wish you the best with it. :)
[16:25] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: from Canada?
[16:25]  * Dan08 is back.
[16:25] <[segfault]> ShawnRisk: Maine :)
[16:25] <WXZ> does anybody know how to increase your wifi adapter strength?
[16:25] <WXZ> or send more power to it
[16:26] <aminixfan> bubblegummybear: But i'm afraid GTK will not works well on win32 or mobile os.
[16:26] <ShawnRisk> [segfault]: nice
[16:26] <ruan> WXZ: signal strength?
[16:26] <WXZ> recieving strength
[16:26] <WXZ> I think that's what it's called
[16:26] <ruan> !wif
[16:26] <ruan> !wifi
[16:26] <bubblegummybear> aminixfan: if you wanna develop windows apps neither gtk or qt will be any good, as far as mobile OSs go, what one you gonna dev for?
[16:27] <jigrap> is there an 8.10 active apt mirror?
[16:27] <kek> trism: xfce4-notifyd probably
[16:27] <ruan> jigrap: i dont think 8.10 is supported
[16:28] <ruan> !8.10
[16:28] <jigrap> I know its not supported I just wondered if there was a mirror to install packages from
[16:28] <trism> kek: ahh yes, probably

[16:30] <Polah> Mehdi_: It's a drive partitioning software.
[16:30] <ruan> mehdi_: that message wasn't aimed at you
[16:30] <aminixfan> bubblegummybear: Is there any GTK+ based mobile OS
[16:30] <mehdi_> oh sorry

[16:33] <ruan> !mac
[16:33] <memorygap0> ruan: how to use gparted?
[16:33] <rhin0> try to set up sound -- within bash -- 'alsamixer' -- gives you mixer settings -- helped me at one point
[16:33] <ruan> memorygap0: install it and see the partition info
[16:33] <Polah> memorygap0, do sudo apt-get install gparted to get it, then go to System > Administration > GParted
[16:33] <mehdi_> i did install ubuntu i just dont have sound
[16:33] <ruan> mehdi_: it includes "using"
[16:34] <Polah> Mehdi_: Do you have pulseaudio?
[16:34] <rhin0> maybe he needs to go the ndiswrapper route for his pc sound drivers
[16:34] <mehdi_> i dont know how can i know i have pulseaudio
[16:34] <redent> mehdi_ check and see if output is digital or analog
[16:35] <mehdi_> oh my god should i do that from terminal ?

[16:39] <mehdi_> i did right click on speaker taskbar and than....
[16:40] <haikal> hi
[16:40] <memorygap0> ruan: yes i open it and size = 459.90 , used 253.72 and unused 206.18gb. it means that i have a 459 gb hardisk and i used 253gb and unused 206.am i right on what i understand?
[16:41] <mehdi_> in my sound perfrence written it says Analog Streo Duplex
[16:41] <redent> mehdi_: go through the setting and change to digital or analog which your speakers are plugged into
[16:41] <redent> what are you speakers plugged into?
[16:41] <ruan> memorygap0: hmm it looks like 253 gb is partitioned and 206gb is unpartitioned
[16:41] <mehdi_> my speakers are built in imac
[16:42] <aminixfan> bubblegummybear: yep,
[16:42] <Polah> Mehdi: Do Digital Stereo
[16:42] <memorygap0> how can i partitioned the other 1.
[16:42] <redent> are you trying to virualize ubuntu on a mac
[16:43] <memorygap0> where i can paste image so that you can see the image
[16:43] <aminixfan> aminixfan: So please give some advice?QT or GTk+ or some others?
[16:43] <mehdi_> if i do digital streo it will work?
[16:44] <bubblegummybear> aminixfan: then you'll have to do tons of research as to what toolkit will suit (most) of your needs
[16:44] <redent> mehdi_: if i do digital streo it will work? try and see
[16:44] <usr13> memorygap0: To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add

[16:59] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: you can try running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' and see if that helps you
[17:00] <milamber> murphs: dpkg -S if it is installed, try apt-file if it is not an installed package
[17:00] <antlong> is there a safe way to set a different python version than what ships
[17:00] <kaehkoenen> segfault: just a sec, I'll give it a go.
[17:00] <crc32> How to I verify the siguatures on a .deb file? I see there is "dpkg --no-debsig" which implies it will skip signature checking but I see no way to tell dpkg to actually verify the signatures.
[17:01] <Polah> Parasito, I'd imagine the majority of the market using it would not have subtitles on, thus it is disabled by default
[17:01] <vyrgozunqk> guys the metacity is not working with kde, somebody with the same problem ?!
[17:01] <vyrgozunqk> with kde apps i mean like konversation or gwenvieq
[17:02] <milamber> crc32: dpkg-sig --verify <archive>
[17:02] <memorygap0> Polah: how to remove extended ?
[17:03] <kaehkoenen> segfault: it just returned a new line, but didn't help when I started x
[17:03] <Polah> memorygap0, I don't think you'll be able to do it from Ubuntu since your swap would be mounted
[17:03] <crc32> milamber: All I get is
[17:03] <crc32> Processing lbbuild_1.0.1_all.deb...
[17:03] <crc32> Then a return to the command prompt as if there was no signature.
[17:03] <Polah> memorygap0 I think you might be able to do it from a LiveCD
[17:04] <robdig> vyrgozunqk: is metacity running?
[17:04] <ubuntu_> is there a way to check hdd for bad sectors using the live cd?
[17:04] <vyrgozunqk> yes it's runnig robdig + compiz
[17:04] <numberto> Can somebody help be restore unliked files?
[17:04] <vyrgozunqk> i'm using gnome
[17:04] <vivid> vyrgozunqk, youll want to use kwin with kde
[17:04] <vyrgozunqk> i'm using gnome and i want to use konversation
[17:05] <memorygap0> thanks guys for helping me
[17:05] <vyrgozunqk> but i don't have the metacity frame vivid
[17:05] <HugZ> .
[17:05] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: can you go to System/Appearance/Keyboard Preferences/Keyboard model, and select one there?
[17:05] <vivid> vyrgozunqk, on just konversation? or all the applications
[17:06] <kaehkoenen> segfault: nope, I just tried hooking up another USB-mouse, and that one is dead as a dodo as well...
[17:06] <vyrgozunqk> vivid: konversation, gwenview.. i haven't tried others
[17:06] <vivid> vyrgozunqk, press alt+f2 and run metacity --replace
[17:06] <kaehkoenen> segfault: shell prompt is all that's working
[17:06] <vyrgozunqk> oh dolphin has the same problem, every kde native apps
[17:06] <vyrgozunqk> ...
[17:06] <milamber> crc32: that means it was good, for more info do: man dpkg-sig
[17:06] <vyrgozunqk> vivid: still the same
[17:07] <shashank> #ubuntu-chat
[17:07] <ubuntu_> is there a way to check hdd for bad sectors using the live cd?
[17:07] <kaehkoenen> segfault: I probably disabled something somewhere, but I can't remember what that something is. Tried scrolling back commands but those didn't help either...
[17:07] <vivid> vyrgozunqk, try a gnome app, like gedit
[17:08] <daweefolk> are there any game emulators anyone knows of that use aalib?
[17:08] <WXZ> can anyone open openoffice writer, click tools > customize, and then click the "save" button on the custom keyboard shortcut dialogue
[17:08] <WXZ> then send me the file
[17:08] <WXZ> that is created
[17:08] <vyrgozunqk> vivid: in gnome ( gtk) apps i don't have any problem
[17:08] <vyrgozunqk> only with native kde apps
[17:08] <bob__32> ubuntu: the disk manager will
[17:08] <vyrgozunqk> verry strange
[17:08] <crc32> milamber I don't think the deb file carried a signature. I'm like if I don't see a message saying blah was signed by key id blah then whats the point of a verify.
[17:08] <[segfault]> WXZ: try adding this to the end of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf - http://pastebin.com/4jMEYh3B
[17:09] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: : try adding this to the end of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf - http://pastebin.com/4jMEYh3B
[17:09] <desturrr> z
[17:09] <[segfault]> WXZ: sry :/
[17:09] <kaehkoenen> segfault Maverick doesn't have a xorg.conf
[17:09] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: yeah, I know, but it still will look for it
[17:09] <WXZ> [segfault]: that wasn't to me?
[17:10] <WXZ> guess not
[17:10] <[segfault]> WXZ: no, meant for kaehkoenen.
[17:10] <milamber> then do a debsig-verify
[17:10] <milamber> crc32: then do a debsig-verify
[17:10] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: if you can get in that way, then maybe you can adjust things via the gui, and then remove the xorg.conf file
[17:10] <vyrgozunqk> vivid: i tryed google but no luck
[17:11] <kaehkoenen> segfault: I'll give it a go... thanks
[17:11] <peetoon> Does anyone know what this grub rescue prompt is and what I can do about it? I decided to purge grub-pc and reinstall it, then I ran sudo update-grub and rebooted.
[17:11] <robdig> vyrgozunqk: i think you might have to use qgtkstyle. it is supposed to be a theme that integrates kde apps into gnome, but i've not used it
[17:12] <vyrgozunqk> robdig: it's not a theme problem, it's something connected to the kde apps handling by metacity, but i don't know what, i'll try on the kde channel
[17:13] <robdig> vyrgozunqk: good luck
[17:13] <Serraphyn> Can someone help me or show me a website about how to get a Acer Aspire 5000 laptop to use 3d graphics?
[17:13] <vyrgozunqk> robdig: tnx
[17:13] <kaehkoenen> segfault: Got it... I'll hop on to that computer and continue from there
[17:13] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: great job!
[17:13] <Seiryuu> I've already tried googling and writing on the lubuntu channel, and I apologize if it's inappropriate to ask this here, but i'm experiencing some difficulties running skype on lubuntu - it gives me the following error message: "skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4"... Anyone know how to solve this?
[17:14] <Seiryuu> btw, i'm running on a 32-bit machine, an IBM thinkpad, t42
[17:15] <vivid> Seiryuu, you are probably missing that library, try installing it
[17:15] <Seiryuu> looked for it in synaptic, didn't find such library
[17:15] <Seiryuu> i have all libqt3 and 4 related libraries installed already
[17:15] <vivid> Seiryuu, it exists, go to packages.ubuntu.com and search for file contents
[17:15] <Seiryuu> alright
[17:15] <milamber> Seiryuu: including the devs?
[17:15] <Seiryuu> thanks, will try it
[17:16] <Seiryuu> hmph
[17:16] <Seiryuu> let me check
[17:16] <kaehkoenen> segfault: small issue... only external mouse and that frackin' touchpad works... keyboard doesn't
[17:16] <vivid> that file shouldnt be in a development package
[17:16] <vivid> if it is, a packager has failed
[17:16] <kaehkoenen> segfault: so whatever setting is now at 1 should be at 0 and vice versa :)
[17:16] <Serraphyn> Seiryuu, try sudo apt-cache search lib | grep qt | grep gui
[17:16] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: hmm, well now that you have mouse, can you get to System/Preference/Keyboard now?
[17:16] <Serraphyn> Seiryuu, I find it as the last item in the list
[17:17] <vivid> Seiryuu, what version of ubuntu and architecture are you using?
[17:17] <zanberdo> installed ubuntu 10.04 server (32-bit) on hardware with two nics. I'm trying to configure the nics for active-backup. I have done this before with 8.04 server, but it appears that 10.04 has added some new wrinkles. I'm trying to locate documentation specific to 10.04 . When I attempt to aggregate the NIC's everything appears to work until I actually attempt to work online - I can't ssh to the host, I can't seem to connect to ou
[17:17] <zanberdo> tside services such as with apt-get
[17:17] <kaehkoenen> segfault: yeah, I can
[17:18] <milamber> Seiryuu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582169/
[17:18] <zanberdo> I know the individual nics work as I can configure either one and am able to connect via ssh or apt-get to the outside.
[17:18] <Viaken> I've got a touchscreen that I calibrated by hand via /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-evtouch.conf. The calibration is off when I boot, but if I unplug and replug the USB cable, it works fine. It seems like evdev isn't reading that file on boot? Has anyone had similar issues?
[17:18] <zanberdo> but the aggregation fails. any suggestions?
[17:18] <milamber> Seiryuu: sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
[17:19] <_antant> linux rocks. windows fails
[17:19] <Lantizia> hey anyone using webmin here?  I'm finding if I install from the .deb it doesn't recognize the rights of sudo users
[17:19] <Serraphyn> milamber, I was trying to show him the way to fish not hand him a fish
[17:19] <Pici> !webmin | Lantizia
[17:20] <Seiryuu> ah, solved it
[17:20] <milamber> Serraphyn: see my pastebin
[17:20] <kubanc> how do i view IP's in my network with nmap command. i can only see number of connected machines
[17:20] <Lantizia> Pici, don't care
[17:20] <Serraphyn> milamber, eh?
[17:20] <Seiryuu> ridiculously enough, I didn't install libqt4-gui.... go figure
[17:20] <Seiryuu> should have been obvious
[17:20] <Seiryuu> thanks people
[17:20] <Serraphyn> milamber, ah nvm I see
[17:20] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: not sure if changing those settings under keyboard layout are helping you, but now you might be able to rename your xorg.conf to something like xorg.conf.old and reboot.  Possible it will come out of it now.
[17:22] <robdig> zanberdo: maybe this will help? http://help.krypt.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=128
[17:23] <negativeOne> where do I go for help securing an ssh server?
[17:23] <kaehkoenen> segfault: there are no real options under that menu that seem to help, but I'll give the reboot a shot
[17:23] <Lantizia> (yeah I know it's much disliked, I don't even use it - a client wants it)... any there any users of webmin here?
[17:23] <zanberdo> robdig I will check that out. thank you
[17:24] <mang0> BOO!
[17:24] <mang0> did you all jump?
[17:24] <robdig> negativeOne: if by securing you mean obtaining, then you should be able to get one from the repositories. openssh-server is one
[17:25] <negativeOne> robdig: no, i have it all up and working, just that'd I'd like to remain the only on in control of it.
[17:26] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: just spontaneously had my machine reboot on me, so I may have missed your last msg
[17:28] <robdig> negativeOne: you mean not allow users to set up ssh access to your server without your knowledge?
[17:28] <biopyte> the fan of my t61 thinkpad is running constantly at maximum speed and maximum noise.  is there a safe way to decrease fan speed to intermediate levels?
[17:28] <biopyte> using 10.10
[17:28] <kaehkoenen> segfault: nice :)
[17:29] <kaehkoenen> segfault: there aren't any viable options in the menu that can be toggled on/off to help with the keyboard
[17:29] <xiaoy> how to merge subtitles to a MOV file with mencoder?
[17:29] <kaehkoenen> segfault: I think I have to do it the hard way via the shell
[17:29] <negativeOne> robdig: that would be one thing I would like to control.  Basically, prevent anyone else from accessing the server, and all portscans and attempts to access my server logged and me notified, etc
[17:29] <negativeOne> robdig: I want to locked down
[17:29] <negativeOne> *have it
[17:30] <wad> I plugged in an external USB hard drive. "cat /proc/partitions" shows it is /dev/sdb, and there is a partition sdb1. "fdisk" shows that the file system is HPFS/NTFS. Yet I can't mount with "mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/z", I get "The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.". But I know it does. Ideas?
[17:31] <kaehkoenen> segfault: Is there some type of xorg.conf for Maverick that can be edited, because I might have done that...
[17:31] <robdig> negativeOne: ah, i see. to keep others from setting up ssh, you can create a group (maybe called sshusers) and add the people who need to use ssh (like yourself) to it.
[17:31] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: I was hoping that changing the keyboard type under the layout tab might help things... bummer.
[17:31] <robdig> negativeOne: then find the AllowGroups variable in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add the group name you created
[17:33] <acicula> robdig: why not just disable the login shell for users that are not supposed to ssh in
[17:33] <negativeOne> robdig: no one can access the server physically(going to remove the periferials) and I am the only user.  I just want to make it more secure and notify me whenever someone tries to access it
[17:33] <robdig> negativeOne: as to stop port scanning, i'm sure there are some more modern tools out there now, the last time i had to do  that was in the 90s.
[17:33] <frojnd> Does anyone know an alternative to VS's panel for monodevelop? I would like to perform multiple clicks and then start the graham's scan. Anyone knows?
[17:33] <acicula> robdig: there is fail2ban for auto banning any scanners
[17:34] <tbac2> hi I am using lubuntu 10.10 and this problem should beable to be solved even by someone who only uses normal ubuntu,
[17:34] <kaehkoenen> segfault: Is there a Maverick-equivalent of the xorg.conf-file?
[17:35] <robdig> negativeOne: acicula: thanks. seems i read something recently about knockd? think it had something to do with preventing/notifying of scans
[17:35] <tbac2> I have changed ownership of the /etc/ folder and subfolders to my non root account and that broke SUDO
[17:35] <tbac2> so now how do I fix that?
[17:35] <negativeOne> robdig: Right now, I'd like to know any extra procedures to make it more secure and a method for letting me know of any attempts to access it
[17:35] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: it's all done automagically now, so I don't think know.
[17:36] <acicula> robdig: its a port knocking tool
[17:37] <ChrisGagnon_> kaehkoenen: maverick looks for a xorg.conf file and uses /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d if you don't have one.
[17:37] <acicula> tbac2: change it all back to root, dunno if thats the default for everything in /etc though. Generally speaking chowning anything to users outside of /home is a bad idea
[17:38] <Nierle> hi how do i install lsb?
[17:38] <tbac2> sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
[17:38] <tbac2> sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
[17:38] <[segfault]> ChrisBuchholz: that's what I was thinking too, but I am running 10.10 here and don't have an xorg.conf.d directory at all.. wierd
[17:38] <robdig> negativeOne: one way is to not run services that are not required. if a service isn't running, a port won't respond. and for services required, like maybe ftp, use one of the secure versions.
[17:38] <tbac2> this is what happens when I try to change it back to root
[17:38] <antlong> i want to install mac over my ubuntu install, its in a cdr file. how can i mount it, so that it can overwrite everything
[17:38] <acicula> tbac2: boot a rescue disc first
[17:38] <kaehkoenen> ChrisGagnon_: thanks, I'm fairly sure I've messed something up in the xorg.conf.d directory
[17:38] <antlong> i dont have a big enough dvd to burn the thing >.<
[17:38] <robdig> acicula: thanks. so it helps test security i guess.
[17:38] <tbac2> what is a rescue disk?
[17:38] <[segfault]> ChrisBuchholz: ahh..I was looking in the wrong place.. cool
[17:38] <acicula> tbac2: the livecd
[17:38] <negativeOne> robdig: this is my first server, so how do I do all that?
[17:38] <tbac2> okay I did
[17:39] <kaehkoenen> ChrisGagnon_ segfault: most likely with the 50-synaptics.conf file
[17:39] <tbac2> but there is no rescue or anything on it
[17:39] <acicula> robdig: no it just hides services until your complete a port knocking sequence
[17:39] <samic> I have a problem with flash! most flashes in firefox load perfectly but some flashes does load or have problems!
[17:39] <robdig> acicula: ah
[17:39] <WillGil> hey, i am trying to format a hdd from ubuntu 10.10 live cd and when i hit w in fdisk to write the new partition table i get device busy.  lsof gives errors
[17:39] <[segfault]> kaehkoenen: ChrisBuchholz: yes, that's probably the place.  Thanks! I learned something new :)
[17:39] <WillGil> any insight
[17:39] <Polah> antlong: Do you have a large enough flash drive?
[17:40] <antlong> Polah, no thats the other problem
[17:40] <antlong> Polah, i was thinking maybe making a partition of something?
[17:40] <antlong> or*
[17:40] <tbac2> if I go into the live cd and just go into terminal and do "sudo chown -R root:root mountlocations/etc/ will that work?
[17:40] <Hodr> Installed Ubuntu on my Raid, swapped HD's to a different machine, and now neither eth0 or eth1 are working, any ideas?
[17:40] <tbac2> acicula,  if I go into the live cd and just go into terminal and do "sudo chown -R root:root mountlocations/etc/ will that work?
[17:40] <acicula> Hodr: ubuntu remembers whichs nics map where
[17:41] <acicula> Hodr: so your new nics are called eth2, eth3 etc
[17:41] <Hodr> ok, thx, will try it out
[17:41] <robdig> negativeOne: there are a number of websites and books that could help you out, but beyond what i can help you with here. however some of the others here may be able to help
[17:41] <negativeOne> robdig: thanks!
[17:42] <genii-around> Hodr: Alternately, remove the old references to those adapters in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[17:42] <acicula> ^^ thats the config file i was looking for
[17:42] <acicula> basically remove the eth0 and eth1 references and relabel eth3 to eth0, etc
[17:43] <tbac2> i cant believe this is so difficult
[17:43] <robdig> negativeOne: good luck
[17:43] <tbac2> the devs dont think very well
[17:43] <tbac2> when they make an os
[17:43] <acicula> tbac2: i think so
[17:43] <Hodr> acicula, I get an error "eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"
[17:43] <ubuntu_> what is the file location that ubuntu uses for hdd mapping
[17:43] <acicula> tbac2: you completely break an os by messing with critical system files and then complain its too hard to fix?
[17:44] <tbac2> it isnt broken really
[17:44] <tbac2> it should be simple to fix
[17:44] <samic> can someone with ubuntu check this game? http://armorgames.com/play/6833/sieger  it loads but when I press play nothing happen! I works perfectly in windoes!
[17:44] <Hodr> acicula, I get the same error for eth0-3
[17:45] <[segfault]> samic: works fine for me in 10.10 under firefox 4.0b13
[17:45] <acicula> Hodr: well eth0 and eth1 arent in your current sytem, so that makes sense, best start by deleteing the mappings in the file genii-around mentioned
[17:45] <Hodr> acicula, eth4 worked :-/
[17:45] <acicula> Hodr: then see what nics are found?
[17:45] <tbac2> uhg fuck it ill figure it out myself, cant believe tis this hard to find a solution for something that should be so simple, why dont the devs think hmm maybe we should put an easy way to beable to login on ROOT
[17:45] <Hodr> and 5 :-)
[17:45] <tbac2> fuck sakes
[17:45] <FloodBot3> tbac2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:45] <kaehkoenen> ChrisGagnon_: Is there a place I would go to disable /dev/input/mouse0?
[17:45] <samic> [segfault]: so what do you think the problem is? can you check your flash version?
[17:46] <Gray> working for me too(10.10, Firefox 3.6.15)
[17:46] <[segfault]> samic flash version 10.2.152.27
[17:46] <samic> I have Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152
[17:46] <acicula> tbac2: you can try the rescue option from the grub boot menu and then drop to root, otherwise just execute the commands from a shell on the livecd?

[17:47] <samic> It's really strange! I have same problem with some movie sites too!
[17:47] <Gray> samic: does it come up as a gray box?

[17:47] <Serraphyn> Can someone help me or show me a website about how to get a Acer Aspire 5000 laptop to use 3d graphics? its an SiS Mirage 2 Video card(built in)
[17:48] <milamber> !info kannel | Stef_
[17:48] <acicula> Serraphyn: eh what makes you think you dont have any 3d acceleration now?
[17:48] <Stef_> Thanks!
[17:48] <samic> I have checked with Midori and it's the same!
[17:48] <Gray> I mean, instead of loading is it just a gray square where the video/game should be?
[17:49] <Serraphyn> acicula, slow graphics and the inability to turn on desktop enchancements.
[17:49] <samic> no! I sea the loading! but when I click on "Click to Play" nothin happens!
[17:49] <Gray> Oh, not sure then
[17:50] <Gray> If it is an issue with flash this Firefox add-on might be able to help(if you're using Flash)
[17:50] <samic> is there anyway to unistall all firefox plugins (including flash)?
[17:50] <Gray> http://www.webgapps.org/addons/flash-aid
[17:50] <hssnfx> hi
[17:50] <hssnfx> i  hve  a   problem
[17:51] <Gray> someone on the Ubuntuforums made it and it tries to resolve any Flash issues
[17:51] <hssnfx> is  there any one can help me ?
[17:51] <samic> i'll check it now thank you
[17:51] <Serraphyn> hssnfx, don't ask to ask, just ask.
[17:51] <milamber> samic: .mozilla/plugins
[17:52] <slinzex> I use live cd and gparted to resize a linux partition. But the RESIZE option is unavailable. What happens anybody?
[17:52] <acicula> Serraphyn: i dont see a binary driver for your sis chipset, which means you are stuck with the provided opensource xorg driver
[17:52] <samic> milamber: I don't have a plugins folder in my ~/.mozilla !!
[17:52] <Serraphyn> acicula, thanks for confirming, that was what I cam to also regarding it
[17:52] <slinzex> here's my fdisk info http://pastie.org/1686975
[17:52] <hssnfx> I can't shutdwon my ubuntu
[17:53] <milamber> samic: maybe they changed it, lemme check
[17:53] <hssnfx> i have some problem with thi
[17:53] <hssnfx> this
[17:53] <acicula> Serraphyn: its worth making sure the sis driver is loaded though, and not the default vesa driver
[17:54] <Serraphyn> slinzex, umm depending on how your doing it I think you might be at max primary partitions and can't resize
[17:54] <genii-around> samic: Might be somehwere like ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/extensions
[17:54] <samic> genii-around: aren't these addons?!
[17:54] <hssnfx> hey look , before T bought a laptop  , I simply removed the power cable and the system turned off !1
[17:55] <slinzex> Serraphyn: I have free space without any filesystem on it. But still can't resize
[17:55] <raven> hi
[17:55] <hssnfx> but now when I remove the power cable of my laptop , the system still keep on working :(
[17:55] <raven> ISOs made with dd contain files ending with ;1 - any way to convert theese isos?
[17:55] <apri-fh> morning all
[17:55] <milamber> samic: try /usr/lib/firefox-<version>/plugins or /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
[17:55] <Serraphyn> slinzex, free space isn't counted twoards partition information, you are still only allowd up to 4 primary(including extended) volumes
[17:56] <ben__> il ya des fr
[17:56] <slinzex> Serraphyn: but how to know how much i have now?
[17:56] <slinzex> Serraphyn: have you seen my pastie?
[17:56] <Serraphyn> slinzex, if the free space isn't int he extended partition your hosed and will have to delete and rebuild the extended to include it all
[17:57] <slinzex> Serraphyn: the free space is not in extended partition
[17:57] <slinzex> Serraphyn: it's outside
[17:57] <Serraphyn> slinzex, then with your current setup, you will not be able to partition the free space
[17:58] <slinzex> Serraphyn: is there some solution? I have no free space on /
[17:58] <linux_lover> heloo every one
[17:58] <linux_lover> need an help
[17:58] <linux_lover> any one  plzzzzz
[17:59] <Serraphyn> slinzex, the solution isn't one you'll want to hear, extended is gonna have to be removed and resetup properly
[17:59] <Serraphyn> linux_lover, ask your question, and enter is not way to end a sentence.

[18:08] <milamber> inashdeen: anyone what?
[18:08] <Berengarius> I need help migrating a Linux distribution from an USB stick to an SSD on a KVM-less system
[18:08] <inashdeen> anyone knows how to use sockwave in ubuntu?
[18:08] <WTF_kevin> #seeks
[18:09] <juniour> hi
[18:09] <Berengarius> did copy all the files, changed /etc/fstab from UUID mount to /dev /sda#
[18:09] <milamber> inashdeen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[18:09] <Berengarius> but doesn't work
[18:09] <hotrod> hi people, i use ubuntu 10.10 maverick meerkat and when i open console and run this command ` sudo apt-get update ` i take this error. how can i fix ?  ` W: GPG error: http://archive.getdeb.net lucid-getdeb Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A8A515F046D7E7CF `
[18:09] <Stef_> Hi, my lmsensors applet loads the cpu temps fine, but i only see the icons of my hdd temps, but not the 'real' temps output. Can someone help me ?
[18:09] <acicula> Berengarius: a live usb stick or an actual installation on a usb stick, also have you considered running a headless ssh based installation?
[18:10] <Berengarius> actual installation on an ARM NSLU...
[18:10] <inashdeen> milamber: by fact, i got a bit of prob using the module u gave, it runs windows firefox in my linux firefox, not the shickwave plugin!
[18:10] <Berengarius> acicula  an actual installation on an ARM NSLU...
[18:10] <juniour> hey i have laptop of sony vaio 3gb ram ,core to duo processor,512mb graphic card. i wanna to upgrade my ram to 4gb is this config will support
[18:11] <milamber> !details | inashdeen that is relevant information
[18:11] <acicula> Berengarius: are you copying over the contents of a liveusb stick, or did you create an actual installation on the usb stick by going throug the installer, the two are different
[18:11] <milamber> inashdeen: have you installed the plugin in the windows/wine version of firefox?
[18:11] <Berengarius> acicula: I installed on the USB stick and now want to move over to an SSD
[18:11] <hotrod> noone around here can answer my question ?
[18:11] <BluesKaj> hotrod, open synaptic /edit /repositories find that deb ppa entry and uncheck or remove it
[18:11] <hotrod> BluesKaj:  let me try
[18:12] <juniour> hey i have laptop of sony vaio 3gb ram ,core to duo processor,512mb graphic card. i wanna to upgrade my ram to 4gb is this config will support
[18:12] <acicula> Berengarius: you need to copy all the files, fix fstab references and make sure grub is installed on the new disk and its references updated
[18:12] <Berengarius> acicula: oh shoot, the loader references....
[18:12] <Berengarius> letmecheck...
[18:12] <milamber> !pae | juniour
[18:12] <slinzex> using wine office 2007, it crashes when I try to save as PDF
[18:12] <sinisterstuf> hotrod, unless it's there for a reason perhaps you should try removing the Lucid sources from your repository? seeing as you're using maverick…
[18:13] <acicula> Berengarius: first install grub, then run update-grub
[18:13] <hotrod> sinisterstuf and BluesKaj thanks for help. it is work now
[18:13] <noob> hi
[18:13] <milamber> juniour: if you use 64bit ubuntu it will be fine out of the box
[18:13] <BluesKaj> hotrod, sorry it's /settings/repositories
[18:13] <Stef_> Hi, my lmsensors applet loads the cpu temps fine, but i only see the icons of my hdd temps, but not the 'real' temps output. Can someone help me ?
[18:13] <juniour> milamber my system is 64 bit
[18:13] <hotrod> BluesKaj:  thank you, i find and fix. i love linux and linux users....
[18:13] <acicula> Stef_: you need to install hddtemp for that
[18:13] <acicula> !hddtemp
[18:13] <juniour> it will work perfectly
[18:13] <Stef_> yes hddtemp is installed.
[18:14] <Stef_> but it's like it won't load on the startup of ubuntu
[18:14] <inashdeen> milamber: ok, i medical student, need to run a software comes with the book. tried native on firefox, said plugin missing, went to shockwave site, there is no shockwave for linux, so did a quick gogoling, found that i need a .dcr file player, did the (windows)firefox installation in wine, then install shockwave 11.5 in it, try to play the presentation, i think it didnt work, then tried shockwave 9.5 ( i think so), it works in fire
[18:14] <Berengarius> will have a try.
[18:14] <webroasters> hey guys. Does anyone know when the newest Ubuntu will be out? 11.04? Is there going to be an 11.04?
[18:14] <acicula> Stef_: then you have to check its running and check the settings of the sensors applet if they are enabled
[18:14] <milamber> juniour: well, the system supports that much ram
[18:14] <RubenAlonzo> webroasters: i read in  the summer
[18:14] <Da|Mummy> ok seriously, someone tell me right now how to enable SSL connections in  linux for that matter
[18:14] <juniour> milamber thanks
[18:15] <sinisterstuf> webroasters, 11.04 April 2011
[18:15] <acicula> Da|Mummy: that question does not make sense
[18:15] <Sample> if I have an (executable?) in my current directory, why in ubuntu am I unable to just type that filename and have it launch, but rather it seems I have to type "./filename". am I correct about that?
[18:15] <milamber> !11.04 | webroasters
[18:15] <inashdeen> milamber: plugin into linux firefox, by changing preferences, failde, then using mozplugger, kind of follow step by step, guess what, i end up running firefox.exe inside firefox linux box for the presentation i was supposed to see.
[18:15] <Sample> or in linux in general i shoudl say
[18:15] <Da|Mummy> acicula, i cant connect to SSL usenet with linux
[18:15] <webroasters> So, there is going to be an 11.04. I heard that they were thinking of doing rolling updates in stead of big releases
[18:15] <webroasters> which i think would be a big mistake
[18:16] <milamber> inashdeen: does shockwave 9.5 work? what do you mean when you say works fine?
[18:16] <raven> ISOs made with dd contain files ending with ;1 - any way to convert theese isos?
[18:16] <acicula> Da|Mummy: eh your usenet client will have to include ssl support, which seems likely but best check the specific package you are using.
[18:16] <webroasters> ok thx guys
[18:16] <webroasters> you guys rock
[18:16] <Da|Mummy> acicula, it does include ssl, the same client works in win with ssl
[18:17] <Da|Mummy> im using a win client over wine
[18:17] <sinisterstuf> Sample, I can't give you the fundamental answer as to *why* but yes, you have to specify the location of the file to run, even when it is in your working directory
[18:17] <milamber> webroasters: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/23/darily_ubuntu_updates/
[18:17] <Sample> sinisterstuf: okay having just moved to linux this struck me as exceptionally odd, but thanks for responding
[18:17]  * milamber shoot, he gone :(
[18:18] <slinzex> using wine office 2007, it crashes when I try to save as PDF
[18:18] <acicula> Sample: its absolutely referenced with the exception of whatever is in your executable PATH list
[18:18] <acicula> Sample: so ./program-name means /path/to/where/ever/program-name-is/program-name
[18:18] <sinisterstuf> Sample, not that it's not necessery if the file you want to execute is in your $PATH
[18:18] <inashdeen> milamber: sorry for lots of typing error, clumsy me. yup, the 9.5 works in firefox.exe.  i can play the presentation in wine version of firefox, only the font is not smooth.
[18:18] <sinisterstuf> *note
[18:18] <chasis> is it possibl to start a program minimized from command line? if this program doesn't have any start minimized option
[18:18] <Stef_> acicula: i think everything is configured like it must be
[18:19] <acicula> Stef_: eh?
[18:19] <pikkfaen> hello
[18:19] <raven> ISOs made with dd contain files ending with ;1 - any way to convert theese isos?
[18:19] <Psydoll> hello i have a problem with ubunut, i keep getting a bus error and the software center wont load from the GUI
[18:19] <Sample> right, I suppose I was just assuming there would be some "smarts" as to always suffixing $PATH with checking my current working directory as well
[18:19] <milamber> inashdeen: then i would say that is going to be your best bet as there is no shockwave for linux. the only other option is a xp virtual machine (which seems excessive if you have something working)
[18:19] <Psydoll> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install wine
[18:19] <Psydoll> Bus error (core dumped). 0%
[18:19] <Stef_> acicula: (sorry for bad english) do i need to change the lm-sensors conf file and add the hdd's ?
[18:19] <Psydoll> thats the error that i get
[18:19] <pikkfaen> ubuntu is crap windows rocks
[18:19] <psusi> raven: dd does not "make" an iso... it just copies data
[18:20] <numberto> Please can somebody help me with restoring unlinked files ?
[18:20] <ozzloy> i just updated and rebooted.  every time i log in at the login screen, i get sent back to the login screen.  what's happening
[18:20] <mithridates> I wanna root login to ubuntu in console mode, how can I do that? it just let me login with my default user
[18:20] <raven> psusi, how to make an iso then?
[18:20] <ozzloy> ?
[18:20] <acicula> Stef_: hddtemp and lm-sensors re two separate monitoring programs
[18:20] <ozzloy> how do i troubleshoot this?
[18:20] <Sample> the ./ seems kind of unnecessary/redundant

[18:20] <ozzloy> i can Ctl+Alt+f1 and login fine there
[18:20] <Stef_> acicula: so there is also a hddtemp conf file ?
[18:20] <_Alex__> pikkfean: Ubuntu is not bad, but debian is better
[18:21] <Psydoll> anyone know this error?
[18:21] <raven> psusi, i need isos
[18:21] <ozzloy> but i can't login through gdm
[18:21] <acicula> Stef_: that i dont know
[18:21] <milamber> Sample: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm
[18:21] <ozzloy> i don't know where to look for troubleshooting this
[18:21] <psusi> raven: files in isos always have a ;1 or some other number on them... usually the filesystem ignores that part... what are you using that is showing it?
[18:21] <slinzex> using wine office 2007, it crashes when I try to save as PDF
[18:21] <yellabs-r2> hello all you good people
[18:21] <mithridates> ozzloy: I can't choose root when I do ctl+F1
[18:21] <inashdeen> milamber: well, i try my best not to run it that way, because you see, my presentation kind of need precision especially on diagrams,labelling( everything goes offside), and i dont think i wan to virtualize another xp ( boycoot windows,whenever possible).i sthere a way to just embed shocwave inside linux firefox???
[18:21] <acicula> Stef_: you can use dpkg-query -L <packagename> to list what files are installed
[18:21] <acicula> Stef_: or just browse the package in aptitude
[18:21] <yellabs-r2> is there such a thing as an ubuntu tablet ?
[18:21] <psusi> raven: iso is the type of filesystem that goes on cds
[18:21] <milamber> inashdeen: no, there is not

[18:22] <yellabs-r2> is there such a thing as an ubuntu tablet ?
[18:22] <ozzloy> mithridates, maybe.  i can't login as a regular user graphically.  sounds like you can't login as root, which is a different problem
[18:22] <mithridates> ozzloy: but I need to change my default user home directory and rename it and it's not possible in gdm when I'm logged in with that user

[18:22] <yellabs-r2> i guess i came in on the wrong moment
[18:22] <raven> psusi, yes
[18:23] <ozzloy> mithridates, i am pretty sure that's a different problem
[18:23] <dougl> I for get what I install 64 or 32 bit -> how can I tell what ubuntu 10.10 I installed?
[18:23] <sinisterstuf> yellabs-r2, possibly. with the flexibility of linux you can probably install ubuntu on a tablet that had something else on it before
[18:23] <yellabs-r2> in the middle of a bot war ?
[18:23] <mithridates> ok I just wanted to know if you know it
[18:23] <_Alex__> Someone, kick pikkafean
[18:23] <yellabs-r2> i see
[18:23] <inashdeen> dougl: go to ubuntu software center, choose installed software
[18:23] <mithridates> guys do u know how to login as root in ubuntu console mode?
[18:23] <psusi> raven: hrm... sounds like a bug in file-roller then... why are you opening it with that anyhow?
[18:23] <sinisterstuf> yellabs-r2, no, just flooding
[18:23] <[segfault]> mithridates: sudo -i
[18:23] <yellabs-r2> a okey
[18:24] <inashdeen> dougl: sorry , read it wrongly
[18:24] <DaPenguin> mithridates, you can either su up or actually create a root account
[18:24] <psusi> raven: try right clicking on it and mounting it instead
[18:24] <yellabs-r2> but there are no known ubuntu tablets ( pre-installed ) yet ?
[18:24] <raven> psusi, it is mounted in nautilus
[18:24] <mithridates> [segfault]: the problem is that it doesn't logout from the other user, and I need to rename that user so it says that you are logged in with that and I can't change it
[18:24] <inashdeen> mithridates: are you saying bout terminal?
[18:24] <mcb_> mithridates: do suso su root. It will ask your password
[18:24] <bignono1> i want to edit etc/wvdial.conf , how can i do that?
[18:24] <yellabs-r2> maybe dell streak or somtehing like that?
[18:24] <danandrichelle> Before downloading ubuntu onto my computer I backed up my files onto 9 DVDs to restore once I switched over.  Now that I have the new operating system on my computer I would like to get my files restored, but when I run the DVD a message indicates a failure recognize the program used to start.  I downloaded a software called "Simple Backup Restore" but it does not recognize this either.  How do I restore files backed
[18:24] <danandrichelle>  up on a Windows Vista operating system onto ubuntu?
[18:25] <dougl> inashdeen, not to worry - I will read it wrong :) = thanks for the effort tho
[18:25] <yellabs-r2> danandrichelle, what archive type ? tar ? zip ?
[18:25] <randomperson> i have an esata card that i cant get working, lspci doesnt even see it..... can someone help???
[18:25] <[segfault]> mithridates: well just do 'sudo passwd root' first and give to enable the root account, then logout and login as root from ther.
[18:25] <sinisterstuf> dougl, I'm not sure if it'll give you the answer you want but try opening a terminal and typing: uname -m
[18:25] <dougl> I am pretty sure it is 64 bit but I wanted to double check cuz I wanna know what flash I should install
[18:25] <mcb_> mithridates: After you log as root, you can change the root password by the command passwd.
[18:25] <yellabs-r2> might be possible to extract them ?
[18:25] <psusi> raven: open a terminal and type mount and pastebin the results
[18:26] <milamber> dougl: uname -a
[18:26] <mithridates> [segfault]: I have the password for root, but the problem is that I can't logout the other user
[18:26] <danandrichelle> zip
[18:26] <qubitar> rar
[18:26] <sinisterstuf> milamber, uname -a shows all information, uname -m only shows the architecture (I think)
[18:26] <WXZ> can anyone open up openoffice writer, go to tools > customize and click the keyboard tab, then click the save button
[18:26] <WXZ> and then send me the file it creates
[18:27] <yellabs-r2> danandrichelle , so its an archive and you can extract it any place you like ?
[18:27] <yellabs-r2> or not ?
[18:27] <Psydoll> anyone here know about ubuntu?
[18:27] <sinisterstuf> WXZ, is libre office fine too?
[18:27] <dougl> sinisterstuf, milamber thanks guys.
[18:27] <[segfault]> mithridates: is there something running that you need to keep running as that user or are you actually having trouble logging out?
[18:27] <yellabs-r2> Psydool , come agian ?
[18:27] <milamber> sinisterstuf: you are correct
[18:27] <dougl> Psydoll, !ubuntu
[18:27] <sinisterstuf> dougl, you're welcome
[18:27] <Psydoll> yellabs im having a bus error when i do sudo apt-get install wine
[18:28] <Psydoll> or any other program
[18:28] <danandrichelle> Thanks, why does it give me an error message telling me it doesn't recognize?
[18:28] <dougl> this channel is so good to me .... love the channel and love my ubuntu :)
[18:28] <sinisterstuf> milamber, I'm just not sure if uname -m displays the architecture of your machine or the architecture of the OS you installed…
[18:28] <ozzloy> mithridates, you can't log in as root
[18:28] <milamber> sinisterstuf: os you installed
[18:28] <ozzloy> mithridates, you have to log in as your regular user, then sudo to root
[18:28] <inashdeen> dougl: new user or old one??uhuhu'
[18:28] <mithridates> [segfault]: I've trouble logging out, look I login to root like this : parent:$ sudo -i , now I'm in root#:
[18:29] <phaidros> is there any chance to get spca1528 get running in v4l1 mode?
[18:29] <mithridates> [segfault]: when in root I try too renmae parrent, it says you are logged in with parrent and you can't change it
[18:29] <milamber> sinisterstuf: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-find-if-processor-is-64-bit-or-not/
[18:29] <[segfault]> mithridates: just do 'logout', then 'logout' again, and relog as root.  I guess I don't understand why you can't just completely log out first..
[18:29] <psusi> mithridates: no, sudo runs a program AS root... you are still logged in as whoever you are logged in as
[18:30] <sinisterstuf> milamber, thanks, I'll remember that for future
[18:30] <yellabs-r2> sudo apt-get -f
[18:30] <danandrichelle> It says I "don't have permission".
[18:30] <mithridates> I guess I can't explain it well, how can I boot ubuntu with root?
[18:30] <psusi> mithridates: right click top right menu -> log out
[18:30] <milamber> just for the sake of saying it, ubuntu officially does not recommend doing anything as root
[18:30] <psusi> mithridates: choose rescue mode from the grub menu
[18:30] <airstrike> and there's probably no reason to do so
[18:31] <mithridates> milamber: just for the sake of renaming my current user I recommend it to ubuntu to let me do that
[18:31] <mithridates> psusi: that's a good solution
[18:31] <[segfault]> mithridates: just open a virtual console with ctrl-alt-f1 and log in.  username:root  password:yourrootpassword
[18:31] <mithridates> thanks
[18:31] <yellabs-r2> danandrichelle, open terminal , then sudo nautilus , you are now root , be carefull, now browse to archive and extract
[18:31] <psusi> [segfault]: there is no root password by default, and setting one is ill advised
[18:31] <ruan> gksudo nautilus.
[18:31] <bignono1> thanks
[18:31] <[segfault]> psusi: he already has one set, from what I understand..
[18:32] <ruan> !gksudo
[18:32] <mithridates> [segfault]: that's not possible because my goal is renaming my current default user, and if it's logged in it will not let me to rename it
[18:32] <Psydoll> how do i check how much space is left on my hdd?
[18:32] <Psydoll> with out the command line?
[18:32] <psusi> [segfault]: doesn't sound like it
[18:32] <yellabs-r2> gksudo , then :)
[18:32] <sinisterstuf> is there any reason why not to use Ubuntu 64-bit?
[18:32] <yellabs-r2> danandrichelle, open terminal , then gksudo nautilus , you are now root , be carefull, now browse to archive and extract
[18:32] <ruan> Psydoll: accessories > disk usage analyser or gparted
[18:32] <[segfault]> psusi: thought he said earlier that he had a root passwd, but perhaps I misread that.
[18:32] <psusi> mithridates: is there not another user you can log in as instead of the current one you want to rename?
[18:33] <mithridates> psusi: no there is not, I guess that rescue mode is the best one
[18:33] <milamber> mithridates: you can do it without being root, http://www.go2linux.org/how-to-kill-users-processes
[18:33] <mithridates> psusi: if it doesn't force me to log in by default user
[18:33] <psusi> mithridates: either rescue mode, or MAKE another user you can log in as, make it an admin, then log in as that user and rename the first
[18:33] <Psydoll> ruan ty
[18:33] <[segfault]> mithridates: it seems like the simplest method is like psusi says, just boot into recovery mode and do it there.
[18:33] <samic>  as I have this flash problem with both firefox and Midori, do you think it's something about flashplugin itself?!
[18:33] <bubblegummybear> samic: tried Chrome?
[18:33] <mithridates> milamber: that works, thaks man
[18:34] <chrisjenkinson> i have somehow managed to change the C drive on my windows vista partition into the D drive, so it doesn't boot into windows correctly any more. I think it's something to do with migrating my ubuntu wubi install to a full partition. Any ideas on how to change it back?
[18:34] <dougl> I am confused as to how to install flash in ubuntu 10.10 -> the channel suggested a link but reading is just has instructions for 9.04 as latest... should I follow the 9.04 intall instructions?
[18:34] <yellabs-r2> !fixmbr
[18:34] <mithridates> I'm going to battle see if these solutions work
[18:34] <samic> bubblegummybear: actually it's another problem! I have never successful in bring chrome to work in ubuntu!
[18:34] <puff> Sorry, wrong channel.
[18:34] <jrib> dougl: what link?  What do the instructions tell you to do?
[18:34] <yellabs-r2> its crowded here :)
[18:35] <bubblegummybear> samic: google.com/chrome , download, install and done? lol
[18:35] <ruan> samic: why? have you tried to install chromium from the repos?
[18:35] <samic> if you want i can just try it again now!
[18:35] <danandrichelle> what's gksudo nautilus?
[18:35] <dougl> jrib, the are for 9.04 and later sorry I miss read
[18:35] <ruan> !gksudo
[18:35] <ilea> can someone tell me a good compresion application that suports winrar arhives?
[18:35] <dougl> dougl !flash
[18:35] <dougl> !flash dougl
[18:35] <ruan> sudo runs as root, gksudo sets graphical apps to run as root
[18:35] <jrib> !rar | ilea
[18:36] <BluesKaj> bubblegummybear, install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[18:36] <bubblegummybear> BluesKaj: wp? XD
[18:36] <chrisjenkinson> yellabs-r2, is that directed at me? i didn't install windows after ubuntu.
[18:36] <ilea> ok
[18:36] <yellabs-r2> danandrichelle , its a command to start your file manager as root, so you can extract the archive you have been trying to open without succes..
[18:36] <jakeriver> ilea: for linux ark is quite working.
[18:36] <nit-wit> dougl, just install the restricted extras in synaptic you will get flash and other codecs ....eetc
[18:36]  * psusi never understood how rar got popular... it is horribly slow and not that great at compressing either
[18:36] <dougl> jrib, I dunno the link it was from the bot
[18:37]  * ruan prefers 7z
[18:37] <BluesKaj> bubblegummybear, well,did you ?
[18:37] <yellabs-r2> okey , so state the problem again, some one else might be able to offer some help..
[18:37] <dougl> nit-wit, so search for 'restricted' in synaptic?
[18:37] <bubblegummybear> BluesKaj: huh?
[18:37] <bubblegummybear> BluesKaj: I was helping out someone lol
[18:38] <chrisjenkinson> yellabs-r2, i have somehow managed to change the C drive on my windows vista partition into the D drive, so it doesn't boot into windows correctly any more. I think it's something to do with migrating my ubuntu wubi install to a full partition. Any ideas on how to change it back?
[18:38] <nit-wit> dougl, it is called ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:38] <BluesKaj> bubblegummybear, oh sry :P
[18:38] <bubblegummybear> no problem XD
[18:38] <dougl> nit-wit, thanks - found it = appreciate the help
[18:39] <nit-wit> dougl, no prblem that should do it.
[18:39] <yellabs-r2> chrisjenkinson , it does not boot at all ?
[18:39] <yellabs-r2> chrisjenkinson , it does not boot at all , not even ubuntu ?
[18:39] <chrisjenkinson> yellabs-r2, it boots into vista, but nothing comes up except a background & cursor. i can ctrl-alt-delete to get to the task manager and start explorer.exe. ubuntu works fine
[18:40] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, sudo update-grub
[18:40] <nit-wit> chrisjenkinson, run thgs script and pastebin it,  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[18:40] <yellabs-r2> BluesKaj , it does boot vista, just not properly
[18:40] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, it detects "Found Windows Recovery Environment (loader) on /dev/sda3" rather than Windows Vista
[18:41] <chrisjenkinson> nit-wit, ok thx
[18:41] <_Alex__> lol, Vista
[18:41] <samic> bubblegummybear: I did as you said about chrome! it doesn't work! is says: samic@F29:~$ /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U

[18:43] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, sorry what do you mean "one more menu"?
[18:43] <samic> bubblegummybear: what should I do now as chrome doesn't work?
[18:43] <danandrichelle> thanks
[18:43] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, click on the rescue partition
[18:44] <randomperson> how do i get ubuntu server (maverik) to recognize/make usable eSata card and hdd's?
[18:44] <bullgard4> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 > Using CLI to Boot I entered: 'set root=(hd0,7); linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sd07 ro; initrd /initrd.img; boot' and obtained: "ALERT! /dev/sd07 does not exist.

[18:44] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, what is the rescue partition?
[18:44] <ruben_hood> hi, i need to change the host name. i do "sudo hostname newname" but it doesn't work
[18:44] <ruben_hood> any help? thanks
[18:44] <bignono1> i have a 3g usb modem how i can connect with ?
[18:45] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, Windows Recovery Environment (loader) on /dev/sda3
[18:45] <bullgard4> ruben_hood: "it doesn't work" is no precise description.
[18:45] <samic> I won't upgrade ubuntu to a newer version again! since last time my computer is really ...
[18:46] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, i've done that, it loads vista, but it doesn't load my profile, takes me to a blank screen and has the C drive as D. I have to use task manager to start explorer.exe and little actually works
[18:46] <bignono1> i'm using ubuntu 7.10
[18:46] <milamber> !7.10
[18:46] <bignono1> 7.10 yep
[18:46] <bignono1> old lapy
[18:47] <oCean> bignono1: no longer supported
[18:47] <Rt666-1> hell -o
[18:47] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:47] <bignono1> but i can use that modem?
[18:47] <Rt666-1> hello wild
[18:47] <oCean> bignono1: the support issue is offtopic here. You have to upgrade
[18:48] <Rt666-1> satanic ubuntu is the best
[18:48] <bignono1> please
[18:48] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, at the D: prompt do fixmbr ...it doesn't matter that C is now D right now , that can be fixed later
[18:48] <bignono1> satanic/
[18:48] <bignono1> satanic ubuntu?
[18:48] <ruben_hood> bullgard4: when i reboot, it haves the old name
[18:48] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, thx, what would I do after that? unfortunately it's this computer I'm talking about
[18:48] <qubitar> ubuntu rocks
[18:49] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, afterwards reboot into ubuntu and sudo update-grub , it should work for you
[18:50] <bignono1> is there a version 10.04 lite for old machines?
[18:50] <samic> Ubuntu Software Center >> Installed Software   how can I get a text list of these programs to install again after a fresh system?
[18:50] <milamber> !clone | samic
[18:50] <xangua> !lubuntu | bignono1
[18:51] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, thanks. I'll give that a go.
[18:51] <ruan> huh... hmm
[18:51] <bignono1> thanx ubotuu and xangua , i'll try it
[18:51] <ruan> theres this file.. it only gives me errors when i try to do stuff with it
[18:51] <bullgard4> ruben_hood: What is the contents of /etc/hostname?
[18:52] <ruan> if i try to open it as mp3, it says error: corrupt file
[18:52] <ruan> if i try to copy it, it gives some splicing error
[18:52] <ruan> all the other files in the directory work and copy fine
[18:52] <mithridates> I renamed my username, now I should change the oldusername to the new one in all files, any help?
[18:52] <ruan> going to try to root-copy the file..
[18:53] <Dattebayo> can i make my workspace like having two column and two row?
[18:53] <samic> milamber: I don't want all the packages! I just want softwares that spw up in Ubuntu Software Center >> Installed Software
[18:53] <ruben_hood> bullguard4: thank! i had to edit that file after tun the sudo hostname command
[18:53] <erUSUL> mithridates: chown $USER:$USER file; to do that to a whole dir tree « chown -R $USER:$USER dir/ »
[18:53] <oCean> Dattebayo: right-click workspaces > preferences
[18:54] <ruan> Error splicing file: Permission denied
[18:54] <milamber> samic: that command doesn't give you *all* the packages, it gives you the packages you have installed, which is what you are asking for, isn't it?
[18:54] <ruan> happens in a gksudo nautilus instance too..
[18:54] <mithridates> erUSUL: I'm talking about gdm files, I renamed my default user, now some app don't run because they were refered to my  older home directory. I need to change them to $HOME or the new home directory path
[18:55] <Dattebayo> doesnt it rotate from up and down?
[18:55] <oCean> ruan: have you used that file in windows?
[18:55] <mithridates> erUSUL: u mean : chown -R $USER:$USER ~ will do the job?
[18:55] <erUSUL> mithridates: what apps are thowe?
[18:55] <erUSUL> those*
[18:55] <samic> milamber: no! there can be some packages that is the orgin of my correct problems and I can't check that long list!! but if i was abale to extract Ubuntu Software Center >> Installed Software
[18:55] <mithridates> erUSUL: some desktop app like screenlet
[18:55] <nit-wit> chrisjenkinson, so XP is in a extended, the W7 still has the wubi in it's boot files, have run update-grub in Ubuntu since you transfered? Have you resized the windows and was a chkdsk run
[18:57] <dougl> nit-wit, you still here - installed the restricted stuff but facebook/firefox still says I need to install flash - any suggestions?
[18:57] <erUSUL> mithridates: i will grep my home dir for places where the old home dir path is « grep -R "/home/oldusername" ~/.* ~/* » then replace it where it is found
[18:57] <mithridates> erUSUL: I got it, thanks man
[18:57] <ruan> oCean: yes i have used it in windows
[18:57] <erUSUL> mithridates: no problem
[18:58] <ruan> in terminal, it just says cp: reading 'file.mp3': Permission denied
[18:58] <ruan> even with sudo
[18:58] <DystaN> what would be the best user friendly torrent client for Ubuntu ? something like Utorrent (Micro TOrrent) , that you can add all the trackers from the other torrents by simply adding the same torrent file from other website
[18:58] <oCean> ruan: are they / have they been in encrypted filesystem/folder in windows? This is often the reason for this exact error
[18:58] <ruan> oCean: hmm.
[18:58] <samic> DystaN: utorrent itself! you can run it under wine!
[18:59] <nit-wit> dougl, have you gone to the software sources via synaptic to make sure the universal repo is ticked on
[18:59] <dougl> nit-wit, not yet = looking now
[18:59] <Dattebayo> does anyone c the opensuse desktop rotation?
[18:59] <ruan> they could've been :/

[19:09] <Speedfx> yo
[19:09] <d4ni> hi guys i have a really strange problem
[19:10] <d4ni> so
[19:10] <d4ni> i have a netbook asus 1215n
[19:10] <d4ni> i ve installed already ubuntu 10.10
[19:10] <d4ni> it works but there is a problem.
[19:10] <ruan> !enter
[19:10] <dougl> nit-wit, oh yeah I need to be ribbed - I could not see for looking... what can I say... now my eyes dont work - adding it to the list -lmao
[19:10] <d4ni> ok sorry.
[19:11] <ruan> d4ni: what is the problem?
[19:11] <nit-wit> dougl, you might install ubuntu tweak this will work to get the adobe and other stuff. http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[19:11] <d4ni> i ve installed already ubuntu 10.10 but there is a problem: if i connect to lan or wifi network, each time i login with facebook or gmail (just these 2 websites!!) the network crashes down and the only way to re-use the network is rebooting
[19:11] <stef> i'm making a raid5 atm, and when i do cat /proc/mdstat i get this: active raid5 sdd1[3] sdc1[1] sdb1[0] --> 3,2,1 what does those numbers mean ?
[19:12] <d4ni> i know it s very strange but i try to stay online for 2 hours and no problems, so i enter to gmail, and boom.
[19:12] <ruan> one thing in common: facebook and gmail both use ssl right?
[19:13] <ruan> or something of the sort
[19:13] <coz_> Dattebayo,   ok open ccsm
[19:13] <d4ni> i dont know, but if there is something in common maybe is that... so what can i do?
[19:13] <randomperson> facebook uses 443 (ssl)
[19:13] <Dattebayo> ccsm wat is that?
[19:13] <randomperson> gmail can be changed.... default is no ssl
[19:13] <rww> !ccsm
[19:14] <dj_who> Hi, is somewhere a list of live cd's that support a loopback option in GRUB2
[19:14] <Darkwing> hi
[19:15] <ruan> d4ni: you could check the network logs
[19:16] <coz_> Dattebayo, that is compizconfig-settings-manager     sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:16] <dougl> nit-wit, ok will pursue the tweak link - thanks for all your help :)
[19:16] <d4ni> and what is this option new?
[19:16] <coz_> Dattebayo,  that is how you make settings changes in compiz
[19:16] <ruan> syslog seems to show a lot of connections
[19:16] <Speedfx> well I have a boot problem; I have installed ubuntu desktop edition with Wubi. When selecting Ubuntu it shows the option to press ESC for other boot options, then after the countdown my pc is still running but my monitor says there is no signal.
[19:17] <Speedfx> And I've tried other boot options but still the same problem
[19:17] <nit-wit> dougl, no problem ubuntu tweak is a pretty good program it will add 3rd party legit repos and lots of extras
[19:17] <phonex01> hello guys
[19:17] <randomperson> speedfix... problem is the video settings
[19:17] <randomperson> probably set outside of the monitors resolution
[19:17] <phonex01> can anyone explain to me what is the IVs ?
[19:17] <phonex01> in wireless ?
[19:18] <ruan> phonex01: what do you mean by IVs?
[19:18] <phonex01> in WIFI WEP cracking you make something to generate IVS
[19:18] <Darkwing> I installed ubuntu 10.10 but am experiencing quite a bit of lag sometimes. Most when trying to use dropdown menu's
[19:18] <phonex01> what is the IVS ?
[19:18] <Speedfx> my monitor is also a tv-screen; so how do I fix it? Add a command in GRUB?
[19:19] <phonex01> i think it is an abbreviation for the initial vectors or somthing
[19:19] <coz_> Speedfx,  mmm not sure,, I have one client with hdmi connected tv and it is not working with his ati card
[19:19] <d4ni> ok guys, wait a sec, i cant understand who answers to me and who to another people...
[19:20] <phonex01> so ruan do you have any idea ?
[19:20] <d4ni> so, someone can help me with the problem network/gmail/facebook?
[19:20] <Darkwing> anyone else experiencing an awful lot of lag with 10.10?
[19:20] <Speedfx> well I have a old nvidia 6200SE Turbocashe - my system is pretty old
[19:20] <randomperson> i have one tv i cant use with ubuntu gui... but i can still get console
[19:21] <Speedfx> well I don't even get to the splash screen
[19:21] <Speedfx> reach the splash screen*
[19:21] <randomperson> oh
[19:21] <d4ni> so nothing?
[19:21] <Speedfx> d4ni yea
[19:22] <randomperson> did you try removing the nvidia drivers possibly?
[19:22] <ruan> d4ni: my only suggestion is to read the network logs.
[19:22] <Speedfx> no drivers installed
[19:22] <Speedfx> :]
[19:22] <Speedfx> so that's not it
[19:22] <ruan> d4ni: and you might be able to get the connection restarted with 'ifup eth0'/etc
[19:22] <d4ni> whats that? where can i find it?
[19:23] <ruan> d4ni: system > administration > log file viewer
[19:23] <Speedfx> tried searching for something but nobody really had this problem
[19:23] <ruan> d4ni: syslog has a decent amount of connection info
[19:23] <d4ni> ok, so what i have to sarch for in this log?
[19:23] <Speedfx> should I use a usb/cd?
[19:23] <d4ni> *search
[19:23] <donnib> can somebody tell me if this line is launching the script as root ? @reboot root /etc/deluge-daemon start >/tmp/deluged.log 2>&1
[19:23] <donnib> i have this line in my crontab
[19:24] <ruan> d4ni: look for what happens after you go onto gmail/facebook and lose connection
[19:24] <randomperson> oh, have you ever been able to get past grub or has it always gone dark right after it starts loading the os?
[19:24] <Speedfx> never able to get past grub
[19:24] <ruan> i've also got a slight problem with grub. my splashimage wont load
[19:25] <Speedfx> ruan: add nosplash bootoption ?
[19:26] <ruan> Speedfx: that sounds like the opposite of what i want to do
[19:26] <david_brent> hi, can anybody help me...im on 10.10 and i want to installa lower version of the kernel i need 2.6.34 i have 2.6.35, are there repos ? any pointers would be appriciated.
[19:26] <Speedfx> ah got it wrong then D:
[19:26] <donnib> anyone ?
[19:27] <randomperson> speefix, does it even sound like its booting up after you select the os?
[19:27] <randomperson> im wondering if it is
[19:28] <Speedfx> it boots then saying that completed ubuntu installation or something like that. Press ESC for boot options. 3.2.1.0. TV screen goes black and says no signal
[19:29] <Speedfx> well not boots; after selecting it in the boot menu
[19:29] <mweichert> any monit users here?
[19:30] <g105b> donnib: if you can run the command `rm -rf *` then you are logged on as root
[19:30] <ruan> dont even try...
[19:30] <g105b> donnib: please don't do that though
[19:30] <g105b> donnib: bad joke
[19:30] <randomperson> i dont think it loaded right... does grub have the no acpi option as one of the choices?  or safe?
[19:30] <g105b> just thought about what I said...
[19:30] <erUSUL> !danger | g105b
[19:31] <chris_osx> what program is best for making bootable usb sticks from an .iso?
[19:31] <g105b> I uttered it ... oops
[19:31] <Speedfx> it has those options but they give the same result as normal
[19:31] <millertimek1a2m3> hey I have this kind of complicated question
[19:31] <rww> g105b: fyi, bad jokes like that are a good way to get removed from here :(
[19:32] <randomperson> chris_osx, ultimateboot... theres a link to it from the ubuntu download page...
[19:32] <millertimek1a2m3> I have my laptop connected to the internet via wifi
[19:32] <randomperson> click on usb install
[19:32] <chris_osx> randomperson: thanks
[19:32] <millertimek1a2m3> and I want to connect my ps3 to the internet using a ethernet cable
[19:32] <millertimek1a2m3> is there any way to use my pc as a router
[19:32] <sfeole> david_brent: easiest way is just use synaptics
[19:32] <Neosano> so I installed ubuntu on the flash drive and I can boot it on my laptop, but can't boot it on my desktop. I see the grub menu but when I press enter blank screen appears.
[19:33] <david_brent> sfeole: i cant find it in synaptic :(
[19:33] <randomperson> speedfix.... me personally... i would reload ubuntu
[19:33] <Speedfx> reload?
[19:33] <david_brent> sfeole: just 2.6.35
[19:33] <Speedfx> tried reinstalling it with wubi like 5 times
[19:33] <spionspion> im on maverick and unable to install libqt3-mt-dev im getting lots of unsatisfiable dependencies , like libcups2-dev , but all of those packages are in  the repos,  what can i do ?
[19:35] <randomperson> oh... its possible it has an issue with the video card... the 6xxx and 5xxx series nvidia cards have always had issue with ubuntu... maybe someone else on here has better options, i dont know any driver editing so im not going to be much more help
[19:35] <randomperson> sorry :-(
[19:35] <nit-wit> Neosano, are you sure that your always seeing the grub from the stick
[19:36] <sinisterstuf> how do you connect Skype to IDJC using JACK?
[19:36] <Neosano> nit-wit, yeah
[19:36] <Speedfx> should I post my problem on the forums?
[19:36] <david_brent> :(
[19:36] <randomperson> i would
[19:36] <nit-wit> Neosano, so this is a full install on the thumb
[19:37] <Neosano> nit-wit, yes
[19:37] <randomperson> youll get a super user answer pretty quick
[19:37] <randomperson> i usually dont have to wait long for a good answer... if nobody here is able to help
[19:37] <nit-wit> Neosano, so what is in the mbr of both computers , without the thumbs grub how do they boot and what is there in each one
[19:37] <randomperson> i always go here first
[19:39] <Neosano> nit-wit, well, on my desktop I have ubuntu install only, and on my laptop I have windows
[19:39] <Neosano> nit-wit, dunno about mbrs :|
[19:39] <Neosano> nit-wit, what is mbr? O.o
[19:39] <gzor> hi is ther any alternative to live-initramfs ? (old debian package)
[19:39] <ruan> !mbr
[19:39] <ruan> oops
[19:39] <d4ni> ruan
[19:39] <ruan> mbr is master boot record
[19:40] <ruan> d4ni: yes?
[19:40] <nit-wit> Neosano, master boot record, so without the thumb windows boots independently
[19:40] <Neosano> nit-wit, yeah
[19:40] <francisco_> hi i want to set Automatically Adjust the Process Priority
[19:40] <francisco_> any idea on how to?
[19:41] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, it didn't work sadly
[19:41] <Shudder> francisco: renice
[19:41] <Neosano> nit-wit, can it be stupid grub who is trying to boot from sdb when it should boot from sda?
[19:41] <azizLIGHTS> how do i make new files in my /home/ubuntu/ dir be chmod group writable
[19:41] <coz_> francisco_,    http://www.go2linux.org/nice-assign-change-priority   maybe
[19:41] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, bummer, sorry to hear that..which windows version ?
[19:41] <Neosano> nit-wit, or it just doesn't work this way?
[19:41] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: set the umask
[19:41] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, vista.
[19:41] <coz_> francisco_,
[19:41] <francisco_> Shuddr i know aboyt nice, but i want to open  some app on auto high priority
[19:42] <Shudder> oh
[19:42] <azizLIGHTS> !usmask
[19:42] <Shudder> I don't know about the automatic one
[19:42] <Shudder> sorry
[19:42] <nit-wit> Neosano, there is the os-prober that has the grub-menu add the other os's I would remove that then run a update-grub next then see if it works. This will remove the ability to boot to the other setups, but the os-prober can be put back if needed.
[19:42] <coz_> francisco_,  http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-change-priority-of-a-process-in-ubuntu-linux/
[19:42] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, i booted into the vista recovery CD, went to CLI and did bootcmd (something like that) /fixmbr
[19:42] <Shudder> Just out of curiousity why would you want to"?
[19:42] <azizLIGHTS> ikonia: how do you do it
[19:42] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: look up the umask command
[19:42] <randomperson> so anyone here have problems getting a silicon image 3132 base eSata card working?
[19:42] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, well, perhaps the guys at ##windows can help , there are a lot of dualbooters over there too.
[19:43] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj,  then i rebooted into the ubuntu livecd, mounted the HD on /mnt, mounted dev et al on /mnt/dev, set up a chroot, did update-grub
[19:43] <ikonia> randomperson: SIS stuff has terrible linux support in general
[19:43] <randomperson> ok
[19:43] <randomperson> you think it will work at all
[19:43] <francisco_> coz
[19:43] <francisco_> if i type this in some .sh file
[19:43] <Shudder> ...
[19:43] <randomperson> the card came with my rosewill raid enclosure
[19:43] <francisco_> nice firefox 5 &
[19:43] <ikonia> randomperson: I suggest researching it's supportability
[19:44] <coz_> francisco_,  not sure I havent tried it to be honest
[19:44] <francisco_> when i clicked will work?
[19:44] <Shudder> I don't think so
[19:44] <Shudder> Because firefox doesn't exist yet
[19:44] <Delerius> Hi, does anyone know where I can find a changelog what's backported to ubuntu maverick kernel?
[19:44] <nit-wit> chrisjenkinson, I would post that script and your problem at the Ubuntu Forums you can get it fixed there as well.
[19:44] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, thanks, will try. thanks for your help
[19:44] <mongy> chrisjenkinson,  restore windows mbr?
[19:44] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, do you have a grub menu at all ?
[19:44] <randomperson> ikonia... ive googled quit a bit today... i fould some stuff on people getting it to work but they didnt say how...
[19:45] <slinzex>  how to map TAB key for gt and CTRL+TAB fo gT in vim?
[19:45] <chrisjenkinson> nit-wit, the bootscript output?
[19:45] <randomperson> ubuntu has supposedly supported the 3132 since 7.04
[19:45] <Shudder> you would have to do a echo "#/bin/bash" >> firefox-launch.sh; echo >> "firefox &" firefox-launch.sh; echo >> "nice firefox" firefoxlauch.sh;
[19:45] <gzor> is ther any alternative to live-initramfs ? (old debian package)
[19:45] <ikonia> randomperson: what's the actual issue with it ?
[19:45] <slinzex> QUESTION ABOUT VIM:
[19:45] <slinzex>  how to map TAB key for gt and CTRL+TAB for gT?
[19:45] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, yes, that works fine. I'm on ubuntu right now. after selecting "windows recovery environment" i get the windows bootloader and an option of ubuntu (ie wubi) and Windows Vista
[19:46] <ikonia> slinzex: try in #vim
[19:46] <Neosano> nit-wit, O_o I didn't get it..
[19:46] <slinzex> ikonia: i dont why but I cant send messages there
[19:46] <ikonia> slinzex: you need to register
[19:46] <ikonia> !register > slinzex
[19:46] <randomperson> ikonia: i put the card in and hooked up the enclosure with 4 drives in it... it works great in a windows box... ubuntu doesnt even see the card, let alone the hard drives in the enclosure
[19:46] <chrisjenkinson> mongy, I just tried that using the windows recovery cd
[19:47] <ikonia> randomperson: does "lspci" show the card ?
[19:47] <randomperson> nope
[19:47] <gzor> is ther any alternative to live-initramfs ?
[19:47] <ikonia> randomperson: not going to work then
[19:47] <randomperson> oh...
[19:47] <randomperson> thats balls
[19:47] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, so you can boot windows ok, but just can't get into your new ubuntu install , that you migrated from wubi, is that correct?
[19:47] <randomperson> is there a card that is well known for working out of the box/>
[19:48] <randomperson> ?
[19:48] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, back to front. I can get into ubuntu fine. I can't boot windows OK
[19:48] <ikonia> randomperson: any that's got full linux support
[19:48] <randomperson> ok... ill look around, thank you very much
[19:48] <randomperson> :-)
[19:49] <BluesKaj> chrisjenkinson, but you can see the windows partition in nautilus /places ?
[19:49] <mongy> chrisjenkinson,  bootsect /nt60 C: /mbr  from recovery cd, then  reinstall grub from livecd    ?
[19:49] <chrisjenkinson> BluesKaj, yes
[19:50] <chrisjenkinson> mongy, is that different to bootrec /fixmbr?
[19:51] <ruan> http://www.eversoft.net/dcc.html are these codes applicable to ubuntu?
[19:51] <Dattebayo> guys i did some changes in compiz setting but i coudlnt get up and down rotation
[19:51] <EOF-sensei> kernel 2.6.35-27-generic and beyond break support for my numeric keypad
[19:51] <nit-wit> Neosano, if you have run update grub or had auto grub updates in both computers there could be some conflict, but I thought that nowadays the full install was pretty universal
[19:52] <mongy> chrisjenkinson, never used 'bootcmd', but that command will overwrite the mbr with windows
[19:52] <azizLIGHTS> i did chmod g+w on /home/ubuntu and now i cant use ssh keys to login? why
[19:52] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: why did you do that ?
[19:52] <Neosano> nit-wit, but the grub is on the flash drive...
[19:52] <chrisjenkinson> mongy, right.
[19:52] <azizLIGHTS> because i want the user 'dropbox' to be able to write to my home dir
[19:53] <chrisjenkinson> mongy, okey dokey i will try that command instead. thanks
[19:53] <nit-wit> chrisjenkinson, yeah sorry I missed your post the bootscript at the forums
[19:53] <azizLIGHTS> i did adduser dropbox ubuntu
[19:53] <azizLIGHTS> to add him to my group
[19:53] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: ok, you don't need to do that
[19:53] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: show me the output of "id" dropbox
[19:53] <erUSUL> azizLIGHTS: probably ~/.ssh/ has the wrong permissions. ( too loose )
[19:53] <nit-wit> Neosano, when you see the grub menu do you see another os as well
[19:54] <azizLIGHTS> ikonia: how do i show you that
[19:54] <sgr> irc://irc.mooirc.net/mooxdcc
[19:54] <Neosano> nit-wit, no, only the flashdrive one
[19:54] <chrisjenkinson> mongy, i looked at the help. there doesnt' appear to be an option /mbr - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749177(WS.10).aspx
[19:54] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: open a terminal and do "id dropbox" then paste me the output
[19:54] <EOF-sensei> // 2.6.35-27 broke keyboard input
[19:54] <azizLIGHTS> $ id dropbox
[19:54] <azizLIGHTS> uid=1001(dropbox) gid=1001(dropbox) groups=1001(dropbox),1000(ubuntu)
[19:54] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: and is the gruop owner of your home directori "ubuntu"?
[19:55] <mongy> chrisjenkinson, well thats what I use.
[19:55] <nit-wit> Neosano, so how did you install to the thumb?
[19:55] <chrisjenkinson> mongy, ok. well lets' give it a go then!
[19:55] <mongy> chrisjenkinson, from a win7 cd however
[19:55] <azizLIGHTS> ikonia: i dont think so. i did ls -l on /home: drwxr-xr-x 8 ubuntu  ubuntu  4096 Mar 18 15:50 ubuntu
[19:55] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: ok, so the group owner is ubuntu
[19:56] <azizLIGHTS> ikonia: i changed iit back to g-w because i couldnt use ssh keys a bit ago
[19:56] <mongy> chrisjenkinson, there are options like /sys and /all and stuff also
[19:56] <Neosano> nit-wit, used a cd to install it to the thumb :\
[19:56] <Neosano> nit-wit, it was in a laptop while installing
[19:56] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: just do "chmod 771 /home/ubuntu" and the user dropbox should be able to write to /home/ubuntu
[19:56] <Neosano> nit-wit, laptop works fine now, when I plug it into desktop it just shows a black screen after grub
[19:56] <chrisjenkinson> mongy, just looked at the help for the win 7 version. tehre is an /mbr option there. not for win vista tho
[19:57] <nit-wit> Neosano, have you tried hitiing e at the grub menu and inserting nomodeset at the end of the kernel in olace of no splash
[19:57] <crash1hd> I have 2 cdroms attached to my machine and I cant seem to get ubuntu to open either of them? yes I have a disk in the drive
[19:57] <mongy> chrisjenkinson, not sure then.  I pretty much ignored vistas existance.
[19:57] <nit-wit> *place
[19:57] <ikonia> crash1hd: how are you trying to open them
[19:58] <d4ni> hi
[19:58] <chrisjenkinson> mongy, haha well this laptop came with vista! ok will give it a go thanks.
[19:58] <azizLIGHTS> ok i did chmod 771 /home/ubuntu but now it doesnt let me ssh in: Permission denied (publickey).
[19:58] <Neosano> nit-wit, no, should I try it now?
[19:58] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: type "id" for me and show me the output
[19:58] <nit-wit> Neosano, worth a try there may be a driver neded to work on the desktop.
[19:58] <crash1hd> ikonia, they show up in nautilus but I cant open them I have double clicked and right clicked and hit mount I even try eject and it fai;s
[19:58] <azizLIGHTS> ikonia: uid=1000(ubuntu) gid=1000(ubuntu) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),110(admin),1000(ubuntu)
[19:58] <Neosano> nit-wit, I bet it wont help.. but ok
[19:59] <Neosano> nit-wit, rebooting..
[19:59] <ikonia> crash1hd: you need to unmount them before you can eject it
[19:59] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: that should be fine then
[19:59] <azizLIGHTS> ikonia: i think erssaid something of .ssh/ dir chmod
[19:59] <azizLIGHTS> properties
[19:59] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: chmod 600 /home/ubuntu/ssh
[19:59] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: chmod 600 /home/ubuntu/.ssh (sorryt typo~)
[19:59] <azizLIGHTS> oh ok
[20:00] <Gartral> my metacity is toast, it's not loading on login..
[20:00] <rww> ikonia: shouldn't that be 700?
[20:00] <FLeiXiuS> I'm installing 10.04 server from USB.  However, when it comes to detecting the CDROM installation media, it fails.  Obviously since its not a CDROM.  Any ideas?
[20:00] <ikonia> rww: 600 will work fine
[20:00] <ikonia> 700 is fine too
[20:00] <rww> ikonia: when I set directories to 600, I can't cd into them.
[20:00] <Dub-D> hi @ all ive got an avm fritz wlan usb stick 1.1. The extre
[20:01] <ikonia> rww: as long as your the owner that should be fine
[20:01] <mongy> FLeiXiuS, did you use startup disk creator to make it?
[20:01] <azizLIGHTS> ikonia: this is before: drwx------ 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4.0K Mar 12 18:33 .ssh/
[20:01] <crash1hd> ikonia, hmm it seems to be working now I was wondering cause I have been playing with the fstab and wondering if I screwed it up
[20:01] <azizLIGHTS> ikonia: this is after: drw------- 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4.0K Mar 12 18:33 .ssh/
[20:01] <tensorpudding> you need +x to cd into directories
[20:01] <qubitar> whenever I open kdevelop, xorg seems to crash and when i log back in I discover all of my work went to Canonical
[20:01] <azizLIGHTS> it was 700 from before no?
[20:01] <rww> ikonia: I am the owner. Not being able to cd into, or write into for that matter, directories seems sub-optimal.
[20:02] <azizLIGHTS> hmmm
[20:02] <crash1hd> ikonia, cause my fstab only has 1 cdrom listed shouldnt it have 2?
[20:02] <ikonia> write to it can be a problem however as he's got write permissions on known _hosts it should be a problem
[20:02] <qubitar> ExplodingFist Canada OWNS
[20:02] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: set it to 700 then
[20:02] <ikonia> crash1hd: forget your fstab, it's delt with by the gnome desktop
[20:03] <azizLIGHTS> ok ikonia i changed it back to chmod 700: drwx------ 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4.0K Mar 12 18:33 .ssh/
[20:03] <azizLIGHTS> couldnt still ssh into it either with 600
[20:03] <crash1hd> ikonia, ok just wondering about this line> /dev/scd0   /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660  user,noauto,exec,utf8                                  0  0
[20:03] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: what user are you trying to ssh in as
[20:03] <azizLIGHTS> this goes away when i remove g+w on /home/ubuntu, then i can ssh in
[20:03] <azizLIGHTS> ubuntu
[20:03] <elijah> Is there a keyboard shortcut to get tm symbols on Ubuntu?
[20:04] <azizLIGHTS> ubuntu@myhost
[20:04] <ikonia> azizLIGHTS: group write is not on that directory so it shouldn't matter
[20:04] <azizLIGHTS> yes this is true. so am not sure whats going on:S
[20:05] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: erm, you're positive the issue only occurs with g+w on /home/ubuntu?  You've toggled this setting now several times and can reproduce results verifying that?
[20:05] <EClaesson> Where do i find GCC's include files like stdio.h, stdlib.h?
[20:05] <EClaesson> On my system with gcc installed
[20:06] <jrib> EClaesson: /usr/include but why...?
[20:06] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: yes i just double checked
[20:06] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: how are you checking?
[20:06] <chaintech> Oi gente
[20:07] <jrib> because that sounds bizarre
[20:07] <EClaesson> jrib: Thanks. I need stdarg.h for my OS project
[20:08] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: i do "chmod g+w ubuntu" and then try to ssh in as "ssh ubuntu@myhost" from antoher pc and see: "Permission denied (publickey)" ... then on already open ssh terminal, i did "chmod g-w /home/ubuntu" and did login via ssh again same manner and it logs in
[20:09] <azizLIGHTS> ok "chmod g+w ubuntu/" and "chmod g-w ubuntu/" while sitting in /home
[20:09] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: now do g+w and verify you can't login
[20:09] <Kre10s> hey. I'm having trouble placing my wireless card into master mode.
[20:09] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: by the way, is your home encrypted?
[20:09] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: i dont know?
[20:10] <needlez> ok, so I'm trying to setup wimba pronto to work under pidgin. Wimba pronto uses jabber /XMPP protocal and I have my username and password for the site. The site is pronto.wimba.com, however setting that as the server and the port at 5223 with old-sytle SSL still is returning an error. Any ideas??
[20:10] <Kre10s> I've got a BCM4313 chipset. when i try to switch i get SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
[20:10] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: yup after doing g+w, cannot login from ssh: Permission denied (publickey).
[20:10] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: ls -a /home
[20:10] <azizLIGHTS> sec
[20:10] <needlez> also if the server is changed to prontoim.com with the same settings I get XML parse error
[20:11] <azizLIGHTS> .  ..  dropbox  ubuntu
[20:11] <azizLIGHTS> thats ls -a /home
[20:12] <ronald> ohhh
[20:12] <ronald> interesante
[20:13] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: stop the ssh service (sudo service ssh stop) and then start it with (sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -ddd).  Try to connect again and pastebin the output from the server
[20:13] <neohashi> hello.. question: is it possible to copy a a file which is currently being downloaded? say downloading an iso to my ubuntu box and then relay the file as it comes in over my lan/ftp to another box?
[20:14] <Gartral> neohashi: i played around with that a long time ago.. i found that the only effective way is too rate-filter the server so that the download too the final target is slower than the download coming off the source
[20:15] <toastyjustice> I was trying to ls a directory, but the process froze, so I re-logged into my system, killed the ls process, and umounted the disk to check it, but can't. Anyone know why fsck would be saying the device is busy or how I could find what is using it?
[20:15] <ScarabDrowner> I currently have my music library set up as artist/album/file which I no longer like. Is there a program for Ubuntu I could use to change my library hierarchy in bulk?
[20:15] <edbian> toastyjustice, What folder is it?
[20:16] <WXZ> can someone open openoffice writer, go to tools > customize, go to the keyboard tab and click the "save" button
[20:16] <WXZ> then send the file to me?
[20:16] <`Blade`> Hi, what is the fr name channel plz ?
[20:16] <jrib> !fr | `Blade`
[20:16] <neohashi> Gartral, ok so as long as my local ftp dosen't get to the end of the file I am good? or did I misunderstand
[20:16] <`Blade`> thx
[20:16] <Gartral> neohashi: you got it
[20:17] <neohashi> great thaks
[20:17] <WXZ> ... please?
[20:17] <jrib> WXZ: alternatives: create a new user; use a live cd (in a virtual machine)
[20:17] <toastyjustice> edbian: A folder I was storing backup files into. I had /dev/sdb1 mounted on /media/storage and was trying to ls /media/storage/backup/repos
[20:18] <WXZ> jrib: what?
[20:18] <WXZ> jrib: I think you're talking to the wrong person
[20:18] <jrib> WXZ: nope
[20:18] <edbian> toastyjustice, Is the device still 'mounted' according to df -h  ?
[20:18] <WXZ> jrib: why would I create a new user?
[20:19] <WXZ> jrib: I'm trying to get a copy of keyboard shortcuts for open office writer
[20:19] <jrib> WXZ: so you can do what you said
[20:19] <edbian> WXZ, The settings for the new user will be default
[20:19] <WXZ> jrib: no, I'm not trying to restore the settings
[20:19] <WXZ> jrib: I'm trying to get a copy of the keyboard shortcuts
[20:19] <jrib> WXZ: why can't you do what you asked yourself?
[20:20] <WXZ> jrib: because it doesn't work for me, when I click save I get an empty file
[20:20] <toastyjustice> edbian: nope, it is not. The only device mounted is /dev/sda1
[20:20] <edbian> toastyjustice, what does fsck say?
[20:20] <jrib> WXZ: ok
[20:20] <edbian> toastyjustice, What does gparted think of the whole situation?
[20:20] <leftist> which is preferable? Server 10.04lts or 10.10 for production?  I have to make a decision now.
[20:21] <ikonia> leftist: 10.04 long term support
[20:21] <leftist> ok thanks Ikonia
[20:21] <toastyjustice> edbian: fsck.ext2: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? I will see what that brings up here
[20:21] <ikonia> leftist: however I feel neither are fitting as you should not "make a decision" "now" with no research
[20:22] <leftist> ikonia i agree however i have and the only reason was i was wondering if i wanted to go with the latest or not.
[20:22] <ifubard> hello, can i reinstall ubuntu from the live cd without losing my data ie virtualbox installation?
[20:22] <leftist> but your right lts is preferable.
[20:22] <WXZ> jrib: did you send me a file?
[20:22] <leftist> thanks a bunch.
[20:22] <jrib> WXZ: no
[20:22] <leftist> it was a choice between centos sme or ubuntu this time. thanks.
[20:22] <WXZ> jrib: can you?
[20:22] <jrib> WXZ: no, I do not have ooo
[20:23] <WXZ> dang
[20:24] <edbian> toastyjustice, reboot, don't mount the drive. run fsck
[20:24] <toastyjustice> edbian: parted says that the file system was not cleanly unmounted
[20:24] <azizLIGHTS> jrib i cant stop ssh can i? its the only mode of coommunication i have
[20:24] <toastyjustice> Yeah, I thought that might be the case. I will have to do that when I get home later, then
[20:24] <edbian> toastyjustice, Is this ntfs ?
[20:24] <azizLIGHTS> if i do that, im locked out
[20:24] <toastyjustice> edbian, ext4
[20:25] <WXZ> can someone open openoffice writer, go to tools > customize, go to the keyboard tab and click the "save" button and send me the file?
[20:25] <ScarabDrowner> I currently have my music library set up as artist/album/file which I no longer like. Is there a program for Ubuntu I could use to change my library hierarchy in bulk?
[20:25] <kavurt> how can i upload a song to my ipod from ubuntu??
[20:25] <ifubard> will i lose all my data if i reinstall ubuntu from the live cd?
[20:25] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: existing sessions should persist...
[20:26] <zvacet> ifubard : yes,if you don´t have separate home partition,
[20:26] <bazhang> ifubard, separate home partition? wish to install using one?
[20:26] <edbian> toastyjustice, reboot.  See if the problem persists.  There is probably something we could do to figure something out but this is easier.
[20:26] <rcmaehl> When can I expect hardware control on ubuntu?
[20:27] <ifubard> zvacet, bazhang  well my problem is i dinked around with grub trying to get plymouth working, now comp boots into blank screen and i cant get grub to update via live cd so....
[20:27] <bazhang> rcmaehl, please clarify
[20:27] <toastyjustice> edbian: Alrighty, thanks. Hopefully that solves the issue later.
[20:27] <yitz_> [A
[20:27] <ifubard> zvacet bazhang i already edit the grub files but i cant get grub to update so... thinking reinstall time
[20:27] <edbian> toastyjustice, yep :)
[20:28] <zvacet> ifubard:  read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from LiveCD
[20:28] <rcmaehl> bazhang: Well actual wifi card control. My netbooks wifi card goes into a like sleep mode that has to be woken up by OS which UBUNTU can't seem to do
[20:28] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: should i do all that with chmod g+w or g-w on /home/ubuntu
[20:28] <azizLIGHTS> while i try to ssh in
[20:28] <blackstorm> bonsoir
[20:28] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: well we want to troubleshoot the case that isn't working
[20:28] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: because you want g+w for some reason right?
[20:29] <azizLIGHTS> jrib yes
[20:29] <azizLIGHTS> ok so chmod it g+w
[20:29] <azizLIGHTS> sec while i run the commands and paste output
[20:30] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: what's group ownership on /home/ubuntu by the way?
[20:30] <blackstorm> je pourais avoir le liens verssion FR
[20:30] <bazhang> blackstorm, #ubuntu-fr pour francais
[20:30] <zvacet> !fr | blackstorm
[20:30] <ScarabDrowner> WXZ: I tried, pressed the save button, but got a 0b file in return
[20:30] <WXZ> can someone open openoffice writer, go to tools > customize, go to the keyboard tab and click the "save" button and send me the file?
[20:30] <WXZ> ScarabDrowner: exactly
[20:31] <WXZ> that's what happens with me too
[20:31] <rcmaehl> When can I expect wifi card control on Ubuntu?
[20:31] <blackstorm> merci
[20:31] <blackstorm> thank you
[20:31] <tripelbb> Solved: re inability to connect to phone. speculations re drivers etc. XP was correct. I replaced the phone, new one works.
[20:32] <tripelbb> ^^ was for Net10 LG 900g
[20:32] <azizLIGHTS> jrib how do i check that
[20:32] <ph3rrukof> hi n_n
[20:32] <ScarabDrowner> does nobody know how to bulk edit folder hierarchies?
[20:32] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: ls -ld /home/ubuntu, but why do you want g+w on /home/ubuntu?
[20:33] <phonex01> what is the fastest way to make my ubuntu 10.10 look like Apple MAc ?
[20:33] <bullgard4> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 > Using CLI to Boot works for me to boot. Then I did '~$ sudo update-grub'. When I rebooted I was again presented the GRUB2 shell. How to make this fix permanent?
[20:34] <Tamagotchi-0P> cairodock phonex
[20:34] <rallias> how do I tell ubuntu that while I'm connected to access point access_point, ip address 192.168.1.1 is eth address 44:33:22:11:00:99?
[20:34] <airstrike> compiz died on me again.. i managed to restart it, but I'm missing my unity panels (top panel & launcher). how can I restart them?
[20:34] <ScarabDrowner> I guess the channel is clueless, as usual.
[20:34] <gerrin> having an issue with 10.10, just did an update and restared, now when i try to open a folder from the places menu, it opens up rythmbox instead, can anyone help?
[20:35] <swiggy> not sure where to ask this question so i will ask in ubuntu - I am using SSH and i have other users online   (/who tells me) -- well how do i tell what they are 'physically' doing online? like what process or file do they have open?
[20:35] <airstrike> as usual indeed..
[20:35] <phonex01> again
[20:35] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: drwxr-x--x 8 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Mar 18 16:05 /home/ubuntu
[20:35] <phonex01> how can i transofrm my ubuntu 10.10 to be look like Apple Mac
[20:35] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: i want to give dropbox read/write aces to my dir, so i can have bi-directional sync
[20:36] <ejv> swiggy: top might give you some idea, typically you have to use a combination of several tools to get a better idea, don't be too intrusive though ;)
[20:36] <ejv> as an administrator you take an oath to uphold your user's privacy, or so im told ;)
[20:37] <gerrin> can anyone tell me how to fix my issue, everytime i try to open a folder from the places menu on the top, it opens rythmbox program instead
[20:37] <swiggy> hmm
[20:37] <swiggy> top is only showing what I am doing
[20:37] <swiggy> but who is showing me and 2 other users
[20:38] <ejv> swiggy: install htop then run htop with sudo: `sudo htop`
[20:38] <red2kic> gerrin: "rm ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list"
[20:38] <swiggy> there isnt anything pre-packaged?
[20:38] <ejv> often a jailed view of your userland is a product of grsec / pax protections in the kernel
[20:39] <ejv> swiggy: htop is superior to top, top is the default manager
[20:39] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: "sudo service ssh stop" gives "stop: Unknown instance:"
[20:39] <ejv> swiggy: `sudo apt-get install htop`
[20:39] <ejv> a pre-compiled binary is as pre-packaged as it gets...
[20:40] <DystaN> I just downloaded a file from Utorrent website , Linux version , How do I install it ?
[20:40] <phonex01> ok i feel im a lone here ?
[20:40] <ejv> DystaN: how about reading their documentation?
[20:40] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: what ubuntu version is this?
[20:40] <red2kic> !torrent | DystaN
[20:40] <DystaN> K
[20:40] <ejv> phonex01: try the ubuntuforums, that's not really a very grave *support* issue
[20:40] <red2kic> DystaN: If you're new to Ubuntu, look in Applications --> Internet --> Transmission
[20:40] <gerrin> i tried that i got the no such file or directory message
[20:40] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: how to check
[20:41] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: how did you install it?
[20:41] <phonex01> ok do you have any experiance with aircrack ?
[20:41] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: amazon ec2
[20:41] <azizLIGHTS> image
[20:41] <robdig> phonex01: Tamagotchi-0P answered you earlier. cairodock
[20:41] <red2kic> gerrin: "ls ~/.local/share/applications/" -- What does it say?
[20:41] <phonex01> i have strange error said that mon0 is on channel -1 ?
[20:41] <phonex01> who is that ?
[20:41] <phonex01> how is that ?
[20:41] <ejv> don't tell users to install another application when they are trying to make something else work; instead try to answer their question
[20:42] <Tamagotchi-0P> im the person who tried helping you on a mac os look;
[20:42] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: well it's strange for the service command to act like that.  I don't know what is special about that image
[20:42] <gerrin> no such file or directory again
[20:42] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: did you start/restart ssh yourself at some point?
[20:43] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: es i used sudo /etc/init.d ssh restart
[20:43] <azizLIGHTS> like debian
[20:43] <bazhang> phonex01, #aircrack-ng
[20:43] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: you need to use the service command not /etc/init.d
[20:43] <gerrin> red2kick: got the no such file or directory message again
[20:43] <phonex01> yes
[20:43] <phonex01> aircrack-ng
[20:43] <phonex01> oh yah ok
[20:44] <kyle___> I'm trying to mount a drive to a folder on desktop. using sudo mount -a
[20:44] <genii-around> azizLIGHTS: It gets a different pid
[20:44] <fizy[laptop]> has anyone else had problems with virtual terminals not using the whole screen on laptops?
[20:44] <azizLIGHTS> hm ok. but it doesnt seem to work here. what do i do
[20:44] <red2kic> gerrin: Is it possible you didn't type it in correctly? Try copy and paste.
[20:44] <kyle___> sorry : //servername/sharename  /media/mountname  cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[20:44] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: it does work.  But if you use init.d then it won't work
[20:44] <MnCC> fizy[laptop], nope .. works fine here
[20:44] <gerrin> i copied it correct twice lol
[20:44] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: is it an issue for you to just reboot so that we don't get confused?
[20:44] <azizLIGHTS> oh i messed it up then
[20:45] <fizy[laptop]> mncc even the bios doesnt fill the whole screen. but the xserver however does
[20:45] <azizLIGHTS> hm no but i should probal g-w before i do that or else i will be locked out
[20:45] <edbian> I'm writing a script using notify-send.  I noticed if you do something of the form notify-send Title 'textwith&init'  the text won't show up.  any ideas?
[20:45] <azizLIGHTS> chmod g-w
[20:45] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: ok note you did that in the wrong place :)
[20:46] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: sorry what do you mean?
[20:46] <azizLIGHTS> dont do /etc/init.d/ stuff?
[20:46] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: you said "chmod g-w" in this channel
[20:46] <MnCC> fizy[laptop], could be driver related, but im not an expert though
[20:46] <gerrin> red2kick: i copied it correct twice, and it wont allow me to copy and paste on xchat for somereason
[20:46] <azizLIGHTS> oh
[20:46] <azizLIGHTS> thx lol
[20:47] <jrib> edbian: wfm :/
[20:47] <red2kic> gerrin: I see. Meh. That file/folder does not exist? Seems weird.
[20:47] <azizLIGHTS> ok i will brb after restart
[20:47] <edbian> jrib, What's that mean?
[20:47] <trism> edbian: me too, do you have a more specific command?
[20:47] <jrib> edbian: works for me
[20:48] <gerrin> i just did an update, was working fine b4 i restarted my system
[20:48] <edbian> jrib, Show me the command you wrote?
[20:48] <jrib> edbian: notify-send Title 'textwith&init'
[20:48] <kontagious> when i update i get this error: "requires installing of untrusted packages" and will not let me enter root password
[20:48] <red2kic> gerrin: Try this. "sudo updatedb && locate .local"
[20:49] <kontagious> only lets me close
[20:49] <edbian> jrib, Version of notify-send?
[20:49] <red2kic> gerrin: "sudo updatedb && locate .list" <-- Correct
[20:49] <jrib> edbian: 0.5.0 (I'm on maverick)
[20:50] <gerrin> nothing showed up
[20:50] <soreau> What's with this pulseaudio cracking sound
[20:50] <MnCC> my mute button is behaving strangely
[20:51] <gerrin> red2kic: just did the second one got a whole list of stuff, what should i look for
[20:51] <red2kic> gerrin: defaults.list or mimeapps.list
[20:52] <edbian> jrib, Am I going CRAZY?!  http://img851.imageshack.us/i/testww.jpg/
[20:52] <toto654> hello everybody, i had a kernel update today, and i dont see windows anymore when i reboot, how i fix this
[20:52] <MnCC> the led of my mute button is always on ? whilst the mute function works .. the led does not .. weird
[20:52] <gerrin> red2kic: not seeing either
[20:52] <edbian> trism, Am I going crazy?!
[20:52] <edbian> toto654, sudo update-grub
[20:52] <edbian> toto654, See if that fixes it first.
[20:53] <Tamagotchi-0P> toto are you using vmware then or such?
[20:53] <toto654> edbian: i rather not touch the grub
[20:53] <trism> edbian: you have an X on your bubble, are you using a modified notify-osd? (or a different notification daemon)
[20:53] <toto654> Tamagotchi-0P: no
[20:53] <edbian> toto654, Well that's what you have change :)
[20:53] <red2kic> gerrin: I see. That's odd. Could you paste the result?
[20:53] <edbian> trism, It's actually Debian.  But the same thing happens on my local machine
[20:54] <red2kic> !pastebin | gerrin
[20:54] <toto654> edbian: its just i have too many kernel to chose...if i remember i can delete some, just forgot how
[20:54] <edbian> toto654, ?  You don't have to touch them.  This command will not change them.
[20:55] <toto654> edbian: last time i used upgrade grub...i had to log on the live cd loll....its a very scary cmd to me
[20:56] <tasslehoff> is there a nice way to install ff4(rc) as the default browser in 10.10, removing 3.X entirely?
[20:56] <azizLIGHTS> hi jrib
[20:56] <gerrin> red2kic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582255/
[20:56] <edbian> toto654, Then don't run it.  I don't know what to tell you.  It is grub that is not allowing you to boot windows.
[20:56] <derango> hey there people, anyone knows how can I refresh the music library in cmus? I want thesince deleted files removed from it
[20:56] <limitgb> hi
[20:57] <red2kic> gerrin: What are you using? Gnome?
[20:57] <red2kic> gerrin: Nothing shows up in /home/gerrin/ :(
[20:57] <limitgb> i can't find out why i get "Unknown Monitor" in Monitor but nVidia setting show it right
[20:57] <motz> hi, what software should I use on ubuntu to see DVB-T television?
[20:58] <toto654> edbian: if i use upgrade grub...will it erase some kernels...just wondering
[20:58] <gerrin> red2kic, yeah im using gnome, i suppose, whatever came default with 10.10 64bit
[20:58] <mongy> motz, me-tv, mythtv (my personal favourite)
[20:58] <edbian> toto654, no
[20:58] <bazhang> motz, mythbuntu
[20:58] <limitgb> So i can use Color Profiles to calibrate my monitor because of the "Unknown Monitor" error
[20:58] <trism> edbian: I was only asking because notify-osd doesn't have an option for a close button that I am aware of, so maybe it is a bug specific to the notification daemon you're running (modified notify-osd or notification-daemon or something else)
[20:58] <motz> mongy, is it installed by default?
[20:58] <toto654> edbian: so how can i see windows when i reboot if it doesnt erase kernels
[20:58] <edbian> toto654, That command does not upgrade grub's software.  It actually updates the list of operating systems by scanning what ones are installed on the hdd.
[20:58] <mongy> no
[20:58] <kontagious> when i update i get this error "requires installation of untrusted packages" i think its a wine update
[20:59] <limitgb> i try to autoconfigure x, try noveau, reinstall nvidia prop. drivers but nothing works
[20:59] <edbian> trism, figured it out.  it's html  &amp;  works
[20:59] <tasslehoff> and throw in a tip about a good twitter client for Ubuntu as well, or I'll default to tweetdeck
[20:59] <azizLIGHTS> so jrib currently ls -l shows: "drwxr-x--x  8 ubuntu  ubuntu  4.0K 2011-03-18 16:05 ubuntu/" ... should i chmod g+w /home/ubuntu? then sudo service ssh stop and then sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -ddd and try to connect from another machine via ssh?
[20:59] <red2kic> gerrin: Pastebin "ls -al ~/.local/share/*"
[20:59] <Glenp> does crontab allow you to do /15 on the minutes to allow you to run a cron every 15 minutes
[20:59] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: yes
[20:59] <red2kic> gerrin: We may have to create empty files. However, that should be already there by default. Just weird. I hate major upgrades. Do clean installations in the future. :)
[21:00] <jrib> edbian: yes
[21:00] <toto654> edbian: i just see i dont have grub installed...maybe i install it, and be able to delete some kernels
[21:00] <mongy> motz, a decent guide if you want a read. http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php
[21:00] <jrib> edbian: what's the issue?  Does 'textwith' work?  Does '&init'?  Does '&test'?  Does '&'?
[21:00] <ExplodingPiglets> "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot."
[21:00] <ExplodingPiglets> What
[21:00] <edbian> toto654, You do have grub installed or Ubuntu would not boot.
[21:00] <toto654> edbian: is there a grub gui somewhere
[21:00] <ExplodingPiglets> Apparently I have a virus on my computer?
[21:00] <kontagious> press shift when starting up to see grub
[21:01] <gerrin> red2kick: this is a clean installation i did tuesday, all i did was the suggested updates that update manager showed
[21:01] <toto654> edbian: i typed grub via terminal...tells me its not intalled
[21:01] <shmup> anyone have a clue why in my Places menu, i don't have bookmarks?
[21:01] <edbian> jrib, Typing an & in the text makes all of it disappear.  Instead you have to use &amp;  (like html).  The issue is resolved
[21:01] <edbian> toto654, no
[21:01] <shmup> they're just all listed, in that one dropdown menu
[21:01] <phonex01> how can i add a patch for aircrack-ng ?
[21:01] <Curly_Q> Has anyone here used Microtick Linux ISO?
[21:01] <edbian> toto654, 'grub' is not a command or a package.  run the command I told you and see if it fixes the problem.  sudo update-grub
[21:01] <motz> mongy, I have a hauppage device
[21:01] <mongy> motz, so do I
[21:02] <red2kic> gerrin: "cd ~/.local/share/applications ; touch defaults.list mimeapps.list"
[21:02] <toto654> edbian: i see windows in the log after udpate-grub, i reboot
[21:02] <trism> edbian: I see, probably using a label with formatted text, still seems like a bug though, it should escape & that aren't part of entities
[21:02] <Curly_Q> Sorry Microtik Linux ISO.
[21:02] <toto654> hopefully its all good ;)
[21:02] <edbian> toto654, Was that a question?
[21:02] <toto654> edbian: no
[21:02] <edbian> trism, you'd think
[21:02] <toto654> brb
[21:02] <AlphaWaves> hi
[21:02] <gerrin> red2kic: should i post the list i got from the last thing you told me to do, not the cd/ one
[21:03] <AlphaWaves> howdy?
[21:03] <motz> mongy, do I just need this software, or first I have to install the driver for the device and than I need the software to use it?
[21:03] <Curly_Q> Microtik supposed to emulate a Router with a Linux kernel.
[21:03] <red2kic> gerrin: Do the cd/ thing. Test it.
[21:03] <limitgb> somebody can help me?
[21:03] <AlphaWaves> how can i simply check a root filsystem on reboot
[21:04] <Curly_Q> http://www.mikrotik.com/
[21:04] <AlphaWaves> i know shutdown -F already but it end up on maintenance shell
[21:04] <mongy> motz, open a terminal, run tailf /var/log/messages and plug it in

[21:04] <mongy> motz, i think they are all supported in the kernel.  there is a non-free driver but I dont know what it does differently..I stick to the kernel
[21:04] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: can i paste you the log
[21:04] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: the pastebin link via pm?
[21:05] <red2kic> gerrin: Right. It should create two empty files. Go ahead and test the Places --> Menu.

[21:05] <gerrin> red2kic: nothing new there, and when i click on a file it still opens the same program
[21:05] <azizLIGHTS> ok

[21:06] <motz> mongy, tailf says: Hauppage Nova-T stick successfully inizialised and connected

[21:06] <mongy> motz, http://davidwinter.me/articles/2008/02/08/watching-freeview-dvb-t-tv-with-vlc-player-on-ubuntu/
[21:07] <Neosano> Hello again, ubuntu boots up from usb (it is installed on usb) from laptop(it was installed using this laptop), but can't boot from another pc. I see black screen after grub, no errors.
[21:07] <red2kic> gerrin: I'm out of ideas. You should have something in ~/.local/applications (For Gnome) but for some reason, you don't.
[21:07] <nerdshell> what could happen if I run kill -9 init*
[21:07] <red2kic> gerrin: Have you tried restarting since you did an upgrade?
[21:07] <AlphaWaves> nerdshell: the system woudl die..
[21:07] <red2kic> gerrin: updated your system*
[21:07] <gerrin> red2kic: yes i have, hasnt fixed it
[21:07] <genii-around> nerdshell: All the upstart jobs won't have a way to start,end, or be triggered by other events
[21:08] <nerdshell> genii-around: and? reboot? no?
[21:08] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/ubuntu
[21:08] <gerrin> red2kic: so basically im pretty much gonna have to do a frest install to fix it?
[21:08] <gary_inNYC> do chrome addons work in chromium, or does chromium have its own set of addons?
[21:08] <motz> mongy, do I have to assume that my card drivers are already installed?
[21:08] <mongy> motz, yes. itd active.
[21:08] <mongy> its*
[21:08] <motz> ok
[21:09] <motz> mongy, then now I have to give: sudo apt-get install dvb-utils vlc
[21:09] <nerdshell> genii-around: and? reboot? no?
[21:09] <motz> right?
[21:09] <genii-around> nerdshell: Probably more like a lockup. But i haven't tried it
[21:09] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: hmm, that's weird because I can g+w /home/jrib here and still ssh.  Maybe the #openssh guys will have a better idea
[21:09] <red2kic> gerrin: No. I doubt it. I don't really know if upgrading few packages have to do with it. From past experiences, it have to do with users accidentally did something.
[21:10] <nerdshell> genii-around: thanks ;)
[21:10] <kyle1> Someone help with mount error: Wrong fs type.....
[21:10] <red2kic> gerrin: New packages could be red herrings. The problem is that you could did something and assume it had to do with *that* new packages.
[21:10] <mongy> motz, if you are following that guide, yes.
[21:10] <nerdshell> genii-around: I wont try it, just wanted to know ;)
[21:10] <gerrin> red2kic: all i did was the update, i turned it on ran the update manager, restarted the laptop, all i did
[21:10] <red2kic> gerrin: Try creating a new user and go in. See if the problem went away. If it did, then it may be something in your /home/gerrin
[21:11] <azizLIGHTS> jrib: ok ty. this ssh via keys is important or me. if theres another way to gie user 'dropbox' read/write access to my dir /home/ubuntu ould be nice..
[21:11] <red2kic> gerrin: Guest mode. (I think Ubuntu have that?)
[21:11] <gerrin> red2kic: ok ill give that  a try
[21:11] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: well I can think of two workarounds: put 1) your keys elsewhere 2) Try ACLs instead
[21:11] <motz> mongy, apt-get says that dvb-apps has to be installed istead of dvb-utils
[21:11] <mongy> motz, ok
[21:12] <azizLIGHTS> lol jrib using user dropbox is already a workaround ... ill add another layer of workarounds now eh?
[21:12] <red2kic> gerrin: You could try "mv ~/.local ~/.local-backup" -- then log out. Log in. See if that solves. It's one of the files -- but we can't find them. It's usually in ~/.local/share/applications.
[21:13] <adac> I have a persistent live usb stick with ubuntu. Now I'd like to mount the necrypted home folder of my notebooks harddrive... how does that work?
[21:13] <gerrin> red2kic: ok ill try that first
[21:14] <motz> mongy, Though, when I wanted to start doing some work, while still watching TV, it was a little annoying that I couldn’t find anyway of watching the TV in a window–only fullscreen. Is it really so with MythTV?
[21:14] <grog> hi all
[21:15] <red2kic> motz: No TV = More Work.
[21:15] <Psydoll> how do i get the bar on the right hand side that shows how much cpu etc is being used?
[21:15] <Psydoll> it appears on the right hand side
[21:15] <bazhang> Psydoll, conky
[21:15] <gerrin> red2kic: hey that fixed it, sweet thanks, now how can i keep that from happening again lol
[21:15] <mongy> motz, fullscreen only.  its more of a full on tv replacement, I love it.
[21:15] <Psydoll> bazhang is that a program?
[21:15] <Psydoll> or i type conky into terminal?
[21:15] <bazhang> Psydoll, you mean the one embedded in the screen?
[21:15] <mongy> motz, tho I do switch workspaces occassionaly and glance that way.
[21:15] <Psydoll> bazhang yes
[21:16] <red2kic> gerrin: You may noticed that some default settings have been "lost" -- It's not.  It's in ~/.local-backup now.
[21:16] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: also read about StrictModes in « man sshd » and « man sshd_config »
[21:16] <bazhang> Psydoll, you need to configure it after installation; there's a great beginners guide at ubuntuforums sharing such config files
[21:16] <red2kic> gerrin: Generally, all personal configurations occurs in ~/.local (or ~/.config). It vary on applications.
[21:17] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: though I have strictmodes no and I can ssh with g+w ~... weird
[21:17] <Psydoll> bazhang i thought it was built in feature
[21:17] <gerrin> red2kic: ok well thanks for your help, really appreciate it
[21:17] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: I mean, I have StrictModes yes
[21:17] <red2kic> gerrin: It's just something I can't explain. You can't find the file so we can't delete the file. We nuked the folder.
[21:17] <red2kic> gerrin: We moved the folder. You log out and in. There are new ~/.local
[21:17] <red2kic> gerrin: Anyway. Cheers. Glad to hear that. :)
[21:18] <gerrin> red2kic: im just glad i didnt lose any files lol
[21:18] <red2kic> gerrin: :)

For some reason, pretty much every progrma I run seemingly randomly stop responding quite frequently and begin responding again after a while. Don't know if it's related, but apt-get unpacking packages also takes ages. Windows works fine, as does ubuntu running under a VM on windows. Any idea where to start looking at this?

[21:40] <waseem> hi, i am about to install new drivers for my graphics card (nvidia) and I wanted to make sure i have removed all conflicting files, how can i make sure there of this?
[21:40] <daftykins> waseem: depending on which nvidia driver you're putting on, they often check for incompatible files themselves
[21:40] <Xmf1> :(
[21:40] <Curly_Q> Alessio check the hardware cables first. See if the cables are loose. Reboot the router also check the batteries in the router and disconnect them for about 20 seconds for the router to re-initialize if your router does have batteries in it.
[21:40] <alessio_alex> Curly_Q
[21:41] <alessio_alex> The router is fine
[21:41] <waseem> daftykins: its the most latest one for my card. Im asking becuase i have been having lots of issues ever since i have been trying to upgrade.
[21:41] <alessio_alex> The cables are ok since I've managed to connect to the internet when installing
[21:41] <SH4rma> daftykins
[21:41] <Curly_Q> Alessio, hardware is always the first check. Good.
[21:41] <weia> Xmf1: ok, if not even a reboot will show the drives (if only for a minute), then one of the updates broke your system. sorry
[21:41] <SH4rma> any idea?
[21:41] <ibux_> question of topic is there eny chanels were peoples just talk about nothing ^^

[21:41] <[TK]D-Fender> ibux_: that's just about every channel at some time or another
[21:42] <Curly_Q> Alessio, can you http into your router?

[21:42] <faceface> rm: cannot remove `Transcendent Man 720.mp4': Read-only file system
[21:42] <SH4rma> daftykins not works
[21:42] <daftykins> Xmf1: then go
[21:43] <waseem> anyway im going to go ahead i think i have cleared them as much as possible, its just I have been getting "api mismatch" problem alot.
[21:43] <faceface> how can I test it?
[21:43] <SH4rma> I read many people have the same issue
[21:43] <faceface> (I don't care about existing data)
[21:43] <SH4rma> but I cannot use CDROM (my lap is cdrom less)
[21:44] <ibux_> mmm beer
[21:44] <ibux_> ^^
[21:44] <bazhang> ibux_, stop that
[21:44] <ibux_> :S
[21:44] <Xmf1> but what about my files?!! i have files in this drive!!!!
[21:44] <Xmf1> I need my files!
[21:45] <Xmf1> 8:::(
[21:45] <motz> mongy, I can't see it fullscreen. What can be the cause? a too slow processor? to litte Ram or what?
[21:45] <mongy> motz, I dont use it, no idea.
[21:45] <krevanna> is there anyway to install a package other than using sudo apt-get command in a server
[21:45] <Curly_Q> SH4rma, your statement does not make sense. You said: but I cannot use CDROM and then you said your laptop doesn't have a CDROM.
[21:45] <natrixnatrix89> Has anyone here tried to run ubuntu on thin client?
[21:45] <mongy> motz, just knew of it enough to give as an option.
[21:46] <faceface> Curly_Q: why are you confused?
[21:46] <xangua> krevanna: aptitude
[21:46] <motz> mongy, what does mythtv do more than me-tv?
[21:46] <Curly_Q> I never said I was confused.
[21:46] <mongy> motz, too much to mention
 can we install it without sudo access
[21:46] <faceface> Curly_Q: why are you being obtuse?
[21:47] <krevanna> xangua can we install it without sudo access
[21:47] <SH4rma> Curly_Q My lap don't have CDROm
[21:47] <xangua> krevanna: no
[21:47] <iceroot> mongy: radio, emulator (snes, nes and so on) tv capture, weather and a hook for calling other scripts and programs
[21:47] <Curly_Q> If you don't have a cdrom, then, why complain and ask why it is not working?
[21:47] <erkan^> hello, where can i install firefox 4.0 Release Candidate on Ubuntu 10.10 ?
[21:47] <krevanna> xangua my boss doesnt gives me sudo acess and i need to install few packages which i found in sudo apt-cache search
[21:47] <faceface> erkan^: you can install from source
[21:48] <motz> mongy, can I run me-tv by clicking on an icon?
[21:48] <bazhang> erkan^, perhaps from a ppa, or wait a few weeks and get it with 11.04
[21:48] <erkan^> i hav enot expierence with source, faceface
[21:48] <faceface> krevanna: you're pretty stuck...
[21:48] <MnCC> my wireless is broken in 2.6.35.28
[21:48] <mongy> motz,  there should be an icon in the menu
[21:48] <motz> mongy, yes, i find it
[21:48] <faceface> erkan^: OK, I don't know if there is a repo for it
[21:48] <krevanna> xangua is there any other solutin
[21:48] <Curly_Q> apt-get install mozilla-firefox
[21:48] <SwedeMike> subsume: ubuntu builds off of debian, but they don't really build off of debian stable.
[21:48] <mongy> motz, I prefer mythtv because I sit in bed with my remote watching tv and videos.
[21:49] <bazhang> Curly_Q, thats not correct
[21:49] <erkan^> i have mozilla firefox 3.6.15 Curly_Q
[21:49] <mongy> motz, and it can record, schedule recording, has a nice programme guide, and other stuff.
[21:49] <AxonetBE> Hi
[21:49] <erkan^> do you use chromium, faceface ?
[21:49] <MnCC> wireless works fine in 2.6.35.27, but not in 2.6.35.28 anyone have the same problem ?
[21:49] <motz> mongy, I see
[21:49] <krevanna> xangua is there any other solution
[21:49] <faceface> erkan^: no
[21:49] <Curly_Q> I was just hinting how to do it. Use Google.
[21:49] <ExplodingPiglets> "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot."
[21:49] <AxonetBE> How to setup the Content-type header on server-side?
[21:49] <faceface> erkan^: sticking with ff for now
[21:49] <SH4rma> ok Curly_Q, I ask why I get this msg err "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" when I'm booting my USB unetbootin Ubuntu 10.10 img
[21:49] <erkan^> which browser software use yu, faceface ?
[21:49] <ExplodingPiglets> Apparently I have a virus. I thought ubuntu didn't get viruses?
[21:49] <bazhang> Curly_Q, dont suggest google here. thanks.
[21:50] <MnCC> get avg, its free
[21:50] <bazhang> ExplodingPiglets, what makes you think that
[21:50] <xangua> krevanna: discuss with your boss his attitude
[21:50] <erkan^> i see that still ubuntu'ers are from ff to chromium, faceface :S
[21:50] <weia> Xmf1: i guess there's a lot of software that can still access that external drive of yours. a non-updated ubuntu from installation media perhaps?
[21:50] <ExplodingPiglets> hold on
[21:50] <Gartral> MnCC: what wifi card?
[21:50] <battlehands> Im trying to login to my desktop in a different city using ssh, and Im getting a message saying, "No route to host"... any ideas of what the problem is?
[21:50] <krevanna> xangua its a test for me now i cant ask him lolz..
[21:50] <Gartral> ExplodingPiglets: wine is supceptible too some viruses...
[21:50] <MnCC> Gartral: let me check hold on..
[21:50] <ExplodingPiglets> "This traffic may have been sent by malicious software, a browser plug-in, or a script that sends automated requests. "

[21:50] <OltreIrc`14939> hello
[21:51] <faceface> erkan^: fire fox
[21:51] <OltreIrc`14939> hi
[21:51] <faceface>  3.6.15,
[21:51] <Gartral> battlehands: your desktop was probably on a dynamic ip, and you dont have a dns too handle it?
[21:51] <OltreIrc`14939> ciao a tutti
[21:51] <oCean> !it | OltreIrc`14939
[21:51] <OltreIrc`14939> thank
[21:51] <Curly_Q> SH4rma check this site:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[21:52] <battlehands> Gartral, So the ip that I used last night to login to it using SSH has possibly changed?
[21:52] <SH4rma> ok, Why I need to custom the LiveCD?
[21:52] <daftykins> battlehands: sounds like when you type a hostname and it can't resolve it, or you used a local IP instead of an external one
[21:52] <faceface> SH4rma: state your problem again?
[21:52] <erkan^> faceface: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[21:53] <SH4rma> Why I can install Archlinux, Fedora, Centos.. and not Ubuntu 10.10 with Unetbootin, etc
[21:53] <MnCC> Gartral: i send you a pm with lspci results
[21:53] <Gartral> battlehands: safe bet if your using a standard home ISP (they tend too charge significantly more for a static ip)
[21:53] <Curly_Q> Because if you Google the error message, you will see a hint on how to solve your problem.
[21:53] <motz> does anybody use me-tv?
[21:53] <bazhang> Curly_Q, stop with the google suggestion
[21:53] <faceface> erkan^: what's that?
[21:53] <battlehands> Gartral, so I need to use some host to SSH through?  Im not sure I completely understand...
[21:53] <Curly_Q> Bazhang, what is your aversion to Google?
[21:54] <erkan^> that is daily
[21:54] <oCean> !google > Curly_Q
[21:54] <bazhang> Curly_Q, it has nothing to do with his issue. people already know about google, so dont suggest it here. thanks.
[21:54] <Gartral> battlehands: look up dyndns
[21:54] <xangua> faceface erkan^ a ppa of daily builds, not recomender
[21:54] <battlehands> Gartral, Im also in a different city and needs to access some files on my desktop.  Is there anyway to do this without having someone on my desktop to set some things up?
[21:54] <battlehands> !dyndns
[21:54] <faceface> erkan^: installing 'stable' from source isn't too hard
[21:55] <KolakCC|Zzz> o_o?
[21:55] <KolakCC|Zzz> !dyndns
[21:55] <faceface> firefox keeps itself to itself, so you won't pollute your system
[21:55] <SH4rma> where=
[21:55] <SH4rma> ?
[21:55] <erkan^> can you tell me how install i with a source, faceface ?
[21:55] <SH4rma> I don't find anything
[21:55] <Curly_Q> Bazhang, OK point well taken. Sorry.
[21:55] <erkan^> or do you know where can I install ff 4.0 rc on ubuntu 10.10, xangua ?
[21:55] <faceface> erkan^: not really... busy.. read firefox download instructions
[21:55] <Noble> How can I change the name of an account?

[21:55] <OltreIrc`14939> non-EC No-one on ubunt en
[21:55] <Noble> Login name and everything
[21:55] <faceface> is there a better channel for my usb fs problem?
[21:56] <xangua> erkan^: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-beta.html
[21:56] <erkan^> yes i must learn too how must i install with source, xangua
[21:56] <battlehands> Gartral, I have a domain name... but Im guessing that I need to be on my desktop in order to set it up?
[21:56] <faceface> Noble: account name, or account ID?
[21:56] <erkan^> is that difficult , xangua ?
[21:56] <xangua> erkan^: just extract it and run it
[21:56] <Noble> faceface: change login name most important
[21:57] <faceface> erkan^: it's as hard as downloading a file and following the instructions on the page where you got it
[21:57] <OltreIrc`14939> you have aircrak
[21:57] <erkan^> oki
[21:57] <faceface> Noble: can you live with creating a new account?
[21:57] <bazhang> OltreIrc`14939, #aircrack-ng

[21:57] <amalgama> hello... can anyone tell me why does apt keep back packages like linux-generic, linux-image-generic etc, while the update manager recommends them?
[21:58] <ehw> Noble: usermod can do
[21:58] <OltreIrc`14939> chanel aircrack
[21:58] <Noble> ehw: Ok ty

[21:58] <bazhang> OltreIrc`14939, I just told you

[21:59] <bazhang> OltreIrc`14939, sure it does.
[21:59] <trism> amalgama: those packages usually select new packages they are upgraded, apt-get won't attempt to install new packages unless you use apt-get dist-upgrade; instead of apt-get upgrade;
[21:59] <OltreIrc`14939> good by
[21:59] <motz> bye
[21:59] <OltreIrc`14939> bye

[22:05] <bezao> how do i enable iptables on my vps? i dont have eth0, ifconfig shows me "lo" "venet0" "venet0:0" i tried using venet0 and venet0:0 on iptables, but it doesnt work, it block everything!
[22:06] <Heavylobster> Hi people, my desktop's been having an odd issue.. For some reason, pretty much every progrma I run seemingly randomly stop responding quite frequently and begin responding again after a while. Don't know if it's related, but apt-get unpacking packages also takes ages. Windows works fine, as does ubuntu running under a VM on windows. Any idea where to start looking at this?
[22:07] <bezao> how do i enable iptables on my vps? i dont have eth0, ifconfig shows me "lo" "venet0" "venet0:0" i tried using venet0 and venet0:0 on iptables, but it doesnt work, it block everything!
[22:07] <battlehands> I need help connecting to my desktop which is in another city using SSH.  Im typing "ssh -X <ip>" and its telling me "No route to host".  Any ideas of what I can do to connect?
[22:08] <guntbert> battlehands: what IP address are you trying to reach?
[22:08]  * genii-around thinks 192.something
[22:10] <bezao> how do i enable iptables on my vps? i dont have eth0, ifconfig shows me "lo" "venet0" "venet0:0" i tried using venet0 and venet0:0 on iptables, but it doesnt work, it block everything! i'm trying this "iptables -A TRUSTED -i venet0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" but it blocks me.
[22:11] <oCean> bezao: you might find more support in the #ubuntu-server channel
[22:11] <daftykins> bezao: never heard of "TRUSTED" before, you need to create a table to put rules in first
[22:11] <daftykins> but i'm not an iptables person really
[22:11] <bezao> i have an table.
[22:15] <robdig> bezao: by vps do you mean a virtual private server?
[22:15] <bezao> robdig yes
[22:15] <Logan_> !iptables | bezao
[22:15] <tomar_> login
[22:17] <robdig> bezao: your hosting service may not allow you to do anything with iptables. mine restricts anything i can do that would affect another user on the system
[22:18] <bezao> i think no, since it's an separated 'box', i have my own ip that i need to block
[22:18] <bezao> since i can rebuild the vps anytime, it doesnt affect other users robdig
[22:19] <camden> is it just me or have there been several packages lately that are missing files?
[22:19] <camden> I updated coreutils, and now paste can't be found
[22:20] <robdig> bezao: ah, i see. i learned the hard way when i wanted to make some changes to mysql that my host wouldn't go for it. sorry that i don't have anything for you.
[22:20] <camden> ubuntu tells me that paste is part of the coreutils package, but when I examine the files in coreutils, paste isn't among them.
[22:20] <bezao> robdig hehe np
[22:20] <bezao> that's why vps is good, you can fuck it up, then click to rebuild and everything is ok :)
[22:21] <oCean> camden: what version (coreutils) did you update to?
[22:21] <IdleOne> !language | bezao
[22:21] <guntbert> !language | bezao
[22:21] <camden> oCean: 8.5-1ubuntu3
[22:22] <bezao> how do i enable iptables on my vps? i dont have eth0, ifconfig shows me "lo" "venet0" "venet0:0" i tried using venet0 and venet0:0 on iptables, but it doesnt work, it block everything! i'm trying this "iptables -N TRUSTED" and "iptables -A TRUSTED -i venet0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" but it blocks me.
[22:22] <oCean> camden: indeed it should be there. Tried reinstalling the coreutils again?
[22:23] <vacho> guys I want to move over an entire folder to another server.. I am hoping to be able to zip everything and keep it's file permissions etc..how can I do that?
[22:23] <camden> yeah
[22:23] <robdig> vacho tar -czvf directoryname zipfilename
[22:23] <vacho> robdig: great!! and to unzip?
[22:24] <robdig> vacho: tar -xzvf directoryname
[22:24] <smw> vacho, -p for --preserve-permissions,
[22:24] <robdig> vacho: assumes that your user id exists on both boxes :)
[22:25] <smw> vacho, it is the default for super user.
[22:25] <vacho> got it thanks!
[22:25] <robdig> vacho: tar -xzvf zipfile name. sorry
[22:26] <vacho> robdig: thats to zip right? not to unzip
[22:26] <oCean> camden: how weird. is the manual page (man paste) available?
[22:27] <robdig> vacho: last one is to unzip.
[22:27] <vacho> kk thx
[22:27] <guntbert> how can I prevent update-notifier from alerting me to an update I don't want to install?
[22:27] <robdig> vacho: but as smw said, might have to include  a 'p' in there to preserve permissions
[22:28] <camden> oCean: yep
[22:28] <camden> oCean: which IS bizarre.
[22:28] <vacho> tar -czvf public_html slportal
[22:28] <oCean> camden: I cannot think of what could have caused this. You could download the .deb and extract the 'paste' binary
[22:29] <camden> oCean: I'm looking into that now
[22:29] <meisth0th> hello
[22:29] <dougl> nit-wit, you still around?
[22:29] <vacho> didnt work
[22:29] <fizy[laptop]> how do i boot ubuntu 10.04 without the gui? or how do i kill the gui once its started? i prefer using the virtual terminals
[22:30] <meisth0th> i have written a small python script to upload files to my ftp server, and i am trying to add it in nautilus-actions
[22:30] <meisth0th> script is working when i run it from cli
[22:30] <nit-wit> dougl, yeah
[22:30] <guntbert> !nox | fizy[laptop]
[22:30] <oCean> camden: download the file here http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/coreutils, use "ar x blah.deb" to break down the deb. (it IS "ar", not tar) Then tar xvfz data.tar.gz
[22:30] <meisth0th> but nothing happens with nautilus-actions
[22:30] <motz> I just installed a new 1GB RAm bar on my laptop lenovo b560 with ubuntu 10. How can I check that the ram bar is correctly seen by the system?
[22:30] <joshmclvl1> guntbert: I Learn something new everyday :)
[22:31] <guntbert> motz: look at the output of free
[22:31] <fizy[laptop]> also, how do i connect to wifi via command line?
[22:31] <ilovefairuz> oCean: camden: apt-get install --reinstall coreutils
[22:31] <motz> guntbert, what's free?
[22:31] <guntbert> joshmclvl1: so do I :-)
[22:31] <budgee> motz: open terminal
[22:31] <oCean> ilovefairuz: he apparently already tried that
[22:31] <budgee> type "free -m"
[22:31] <dougl> nit-wit, got my flash working... started to trouble shoot until I logged into my sound server and turned up the volume... lol => thanks again for your help :)
[22:32] <Fusse> why cant i install the both drivers, that i got?
[22:32] <joshmclvl1> fizy[laptop]: use nmcli? im not too sure about starting NetworkManager and dbus and all from the command line though =s
[22:32] <ilovefairuz> fizy[laptop]: cnetworkmanager
[22:32] <motz> guntbert, free says I have 800 MB Ram, which is strange, because at the beginning I had 1 Gb and now I should have 2 Gb
[22:32] <budgee> motz: output of 'free -m' in the "Mem:" row and "total" column should be 1 more GB than before
[22:32] <fizy[laptop]> ilovefairuz: command not found
[22:33] <camden> oCean: looks like manually downloading the package and installing it with dpkg -i fixed the issue
[22:33] <oCean> guntbert: a dpkg --set-selections (hold) does not prevent the actual package from showing up as available for update?
[22:33] <motz> budgee, total is 801
[22:33] <oCean> camden: wow, okay
[22:33] <guntbert> motz: next step: reboot and look into the bios: maybe it isn#t recognized at all
[22:33] <budgee> motz: then you dunnit wrong
[22:33] <ilovefairuz> fizy[laptop]: what ubuntu version are you running?
[22:33] <fizy[laptop]> ilovefairuz: 10.04
[22:33] <camden> oCean: this isn't the first I've seen this. last month desktop-file-utils failed to upgrade because one of it's required files didn't update with the package
[22:33] <motz> guntbert, if it isn't recognized, what should I do in bios?
[22:33] <budgee> motz: is it the correct memory? is it seated correctly?
[22:34] <camden> oCean: same story, file should have been in the package, but wasn't.
[22:34] <camden> oCean: ah, in fact, it's still happening
[22:34] <motz> budgee, the memory was delivered to me together with the laptop, so I suppose it the correct memory
[22:34] <guntbert> oCean: if "hold" does essentially the same as "lock" in synaptic, then "no", but I will try
[22:34] <camden> oCean: /var/lib/dpkg/info/desktop-file-utils.postinst: 4: update-desktop-database: not found
[22:34] <ilovefairuz> fizy[laptop]: it's available for maverick only, not lucid (10.04)
[22:34] <budgee> motz: ok, did you install it correctly.  did it click into place, no gaps etc?
[22:35] <motz> budgee, yes, it clicked
[22:35] <budgee> hmm
[22:35] <budgee> motz: what make of notebok?
[22:35] <motz> budgee, but, apart from that, why do I have now 800 Mb instead of 1 Gb?
[22:35] <fizy[laptop]> one more question. how do i kill the gui once i get it running to connect the wifi? i have almost no ram on my laptop, so cli is way better for me
[22:35] <motz> budgee, lenovo b560
[22:36] <azizLIGHTS> how do i undo "adduser dropbox" command
[22:36] <motz> budgee, do exist ram bars of 800 Mb?
[22:36] <camden> oCean: same fix worked too
[22:36] <budgee> motz: nope, not that i know of
[22:37] <ilovefairuz> fizy[laptop]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo#WPA%20Supplicant
[22:37] <motz> so why free says that the total is 801?
[22:37] <budgee> motz: if you take it out and reboot, does it go back to 1G?
[22:37] <ilovefairuz> fizy[laptop]: and you could use a very lightweight window manager like awesome or wmii if you have little ram
[22:37] <oCean> camden: I'm not on maverick, so I can not check if this issue exists here. You might want to file a bug, or at least browse launchpad for bugs..
[22:38] <ilovefairuz> fizy[laptop]: but to stop X, use: sudo service gdm stop
[22:38] <azizLIGHTS> i mean how do i undo the command "adduser dropbox ubuntu" first, then undo "adduser dropbox" ?
[22:38] <fizy[laptop]> ilovefairuz: nah, id rather use a virtual terminal. it makes me feel like the true linux hacker badass i am
[22:38] <camden> oCean: willdo
[22:39] <motz> budgee, no, it was 800 Mb already before the installation
[22:39] <motz> budgee, I think now it clicked better and deeper
[22:40] <Curly_Q> Motz is the new memory module the same type at the same Hz?
[22:40] <budgee> motz: if 200M of your memory is being shared with the graphics card, that could explain the 800M
[22:40] <motz> Curly_Q, I don't know but I suppose so, because I ordered it just together with the laptop
[22:40] <motz> budgee, ok, thank you for the explanation
[22:41] <motz> budgee, ok, now the total is 1800
[22:41] <metallico> guys, i am getting this: "WARN: / is world writable!" and when i tried to create a dir in / as regular user it lets me do it. What are the correct permissions for it?
[22:41] <Curly_Q> Motz, the fact is that if you put two dissimilar memory modules in the slots but they both are not the same Hz, the one with the slowest Hz will be your RAM settings.
[22:41] <motz> ok
[22:41] <Dice-Man> metallico: you need to edit permissions on the directory ?
[22:42] <metallico> on /
[22:42] <Curly_Q> It is recommended to put the exact RAM modules in the slots so they run in Parallel.
[22:42] <metallico> something changed it to 777, dont know what
[22:42] <budgee> motz: what did you do?  ensure it was properly reseated?
[22:42] <Ethan> hi all, I'm new to ubuntu, coming from fedora where chkconfig manages what services run at what runlevel. is there an equivalent for ubuntu?
[22:43] <motz> budgee, yes, I unmounted and than mounted again
[22:43] <oldschool> hi anyone here know whats would be a good easy to use program on ubuntu 8.4 for makeing Screen capture/Screenshots
[22:43] <daftykins> oldschool: scrot ?
[22:44] <Ethan> oldschool: gnome-screenshot
[22:44] <Ethan> if you're in gnome
[22:44] <guntbert> oCean: in my case that seems not to help because I am talking about kernel versions, and they don't replace each other but just get added :-)
[22:44] <Curly_Q> Oh Motz, I had this problem a long time ago with a SCSI server. I had to append in the boot config file the RAM allocation. Check that.
[22:45] <oldschool> daftykins whats scrot
[22:45] <daftykins> a screenshot app
[22:45] <oCean> guntbert: ah :(
[22:45] <motz> Curly_Q, I solved the problem. The bar was wrongly seated
[22:45] <Curly_Q> lol
[22:45] <mr_potato> hi there peeps, how do i find the version of a package available to install
[22:45] <guntbert> oCean: thx for triggering my brain
[22:45] <budgee> motz: rather refer to as "module" instead of bar
[22:46] <budgee> motz: memory module
[22:46] <oldschool> yes something like this one here http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Scenegrabber.NET
[22:46] <motz> budgee, ok, module
[22:46] <guntbert> mr_potato: apt-cache policy might be of help
[22:46] <Curly_Q> Budgee, good observation. Thanks.
[22:46] <oldschool> daftykins yes something like this one here http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Scenegrabber.NET
[22:46] <nerdshell> mr_potato: read the man page of apt or aptitude
[22:47] <mr_potato> cheers guys guntbert and nerdshell policy thingy helped
[22:47] <mr_potato> i need to add the version number in my puppet manifest
[22:53] <oldschool> am new to ubuntu if anyone know of a easy to use program please pm me am looking for something similar to this one here http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Scenegrabber.NET
[22:53] <oldschool> :(
[22:54] <oldschool> for takeing video screenshots
[22:55] <Saltydog> I think VLC will take screen shots
[22:55] <Claudinux> oldschool, you can try vlc
[22:56] <Curly_Q> VLC is good.
[22:56] <Curly_Q> It captures the screen.
[22:57] <Curly_Q> There is an IRC channel here on freenode #videolan
[23:01] <motz> mongy, could you give a look at this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/me-tv/+bug/699825
[23:01] <michi7x7> Failed to fetch http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xserver-xorg-video-nv/xserver-xorg-video-nv_2.1.17-3ubuntu7_amd64.deb 403  Forbidden
[23:01] <michi7x7> I think you should fix that asap
[23:02] <mongy> motz, well its a ppa you are using, so there might be bugs to contend with.  try removing the ppa and installing the distro version, which might lack features.
[23:03] <motz> mongy, what is a ppa?
[23:03] <motz> mongy, which is the distro version?
[23:03] <mongy> motz, has updated packages
[23:04] <Scunizi> Alsa mixer always mutes my usb headset settings on shutdown (or possibly reboot).  How do I get alsamixer to "fix" the settings and remember them ??
[23:04] <mongy> motz, than whats in the distro...
[23:04] <motz> mongy, I have no distro-cd
[23:04] <oCean> motz: mongy ppa is 3rd party and not supported
[23:04] <motz> ah, ok
[23:05] <motz> mongy, so you mean I have to install it through apt-get?
[23:05] <Pudabudigada> Hello, I've just updated the kernel, when I reboot, I'll probably need to reinstall GRUB, is there a way to avoid this?
[23:05] <motz> mongy, I do I uninstall this ppa version?
[23:05] <Scunizi> Pudabudigada: shouldn't need to but I'll have ubottu send a link..
[23:05] <Scunizi> !grub2 > Pudabudigada
[23:05] <Pudabudigada> Thanks
[23:05] <mongy> motz, just uninstall me-tv, and remove the ppa from your sources
[23:05] <gedO> Hello guys. I want to ask how I can get all starting up programs list ???
[23:06] <bazhang> motz, use ppa-purge
[23:06] <mongy> motz, then update package manager, and install it again
[23:06] <motz> bazhang, how?
[23:06] <gedO> How to get all startup programs list???
[23:06] <bazhang> !info ppa-purge | motz
[23:06] <Scunizi> gedO: System>Preferences> Startup programs
[23:06] <gedO> Scunizi: is any terminal way?
[23:06] <mongy> bazhang, does it install the regular repo version if it wasnt installed before?
[23:06] <bazhang> motz, install it and run it
[23:06] <motz> bazhang, install what?
[23:06] <Scunizi> gedO: probably but I don't know it.
[23:07] <bazhang> mongy, check the description above
[23:07] <bazhang> motz, ppa-purge
[23:07] <Scunizi> gedO: OH.. perhaps ~/.config
[23:07] <mongy> bazhang, ok.   motz use it then
[23:07] <Scunizi> gedO: get a directory listing there.
[23:07] <gedO> Scunizi: What to get?
[23:07] <motz> bazhang, I installed it
[23:08] <gedO> Scunizi: I'm new to Ubuntu :)
[23:08] <motz> bazhang, now how should I use it?
[23:08] <gedO> Scunizi: Please, tell me more about it
[23:08] <motz> bazhang, mongy what am I supposed to do with ppa-purge?
[23:08] <Scunizi> gedO: sorry.. working .. perhaps someone can guide you there.
[23:09] <gedO> Scunizi: Okey
[23:09] <motz> bazhang, mongy : just run ppa-purge with no arguments?
[23:09] <bazhang> motz, just a moment please
[23:09] <motz> ok
[23:09] <azizLIGHTS> how do i remove a user i added with "adduser dropbox" ?
[23:09] <mongy> sudo ppa-purge me-tv-development/ppa        ?
[23:10] <sxj> hi
[23:10] <mongy> bazhang, motz, at the end of the day, all you have to do with a simple package like me-tv is just remove it, remove the ppa, and install it again
[23:10] <mongy> there aint like a 100 deps for it
[23:11] <bazhang> motz, sudo ppa-purge control V
[23:11] <soundray> azizLIGHTS: try deluser -- but read the manpage first (man deluser)
[23:11] <azizLIGHTS> ok ty
[23:12] <moz> bazhang, PPA to be removed: control ppa
[23:12] <moz> Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: control ppa
[23:13] <bazhang> moz, you dont type control, use the ctrl key
[23:13] <Pudabudigada> Scunizi, I can reinstall GRUB, I want to avoid having to.
[23:14] <rawfael> help pls
[23:14] <Scunizi> Pudabudigada: when a new kernel is installed the system does a "sudo update-grub" automatically.. It knows where it's at.. reboot and see what happens.. you'll have your choice of kernels.. choose the top one for the newest and the next one for the current.. got a live cd? use that to reinstall grub if all fails.
[23:14] <bazhang> rawfael, with what
[23:15] <azizLIGHTS> ok how do i remove the user from groups? i had done "adduser dropbox ubuntu" it added dropbox to ubuntu gorup i think? how do i undo it
[23:15] <moz> bazhang, I really don't understand what do you mean
[23:16] <moz> bazhang, I should hold the control key and then hit V, you mean that I have to past something or what?
[23:16] <ehw> azizLIGHTS: gpasswd -d dropbox ubuntu to remove a user from that group (assuming that's what you want)
[23:17] <azizLIGHTS> ehw: how can i check if dropbox has been removed from ubuntu user group
[23:17] <motz> mongy, how do I remove me-tv and ppa?
[23:17] <ehw> azizLIGHTS: type "groups dropbox" and it will tell you which groups it's in
[23:18] <oCean> motz: are you sure you installed me-tv from ppa?
[23:18] <Code_Bleu> Does anyone know of a good solution like "NEAT Reciepts" for linux?  I use MoneyDance and KMyMoney and would like some way of scanning my reciepts and importing them into my accounting software.
[23:18] <ehw> azizLIGHTS: id dropbox will tell you other cool stuff as well ;)
[23:18] <camden> \q
[23:18] <motz> oCean, I just pasted the command that mongy wrote me in channel. So ask him how I installed it
[23:19] <bazhang> oCean, yep from ppa
[23:19] <oCean> motz: do you know how to use pastebin?
[23:19] <oCean> bazhang: confirmed?
[23:19] <motz> oCean, yes
[23:19] <res22> Hello, any JEWISH or ISRAELI people here? How do you pronounce "saeed"?
[23:19] <bazhang> oCean, yes
[23:19] <azizLIGHTS> ehw: cool thanks a lot
[23:19] <bazhang> !ot | res22
[23:19] <ehw> azizLIGHTS: np !
[23:19] <res22> fs
[23:19] <oCean> motz: nevermind. I wondered if your current me-tv package was from ppa or ubuntu archives.
[23:20] <Pudabudigada> Scunizi, Thanks, I tthink the system wasn't running update, done it manually.
[23:20] <moz> oCean, and?
[23:20] <realmatt> where would be the appropriate place to ask a question about make files and make.depend files?
[23:21] <leftist> has anyone reported any difficulties with the ubuntu-10.04.2-server-i386.iso image? i have burned multiple copies on multiple os's and on multiple machines. and have used multiple cd/dvd drives and all i am getting is io errors with dvd and cd's.

[23:22] <arjun> Hi, I am trying to do WPA+AdHoc on an Intel 5100 WiFi Link using Network Manager, and I find two problems: 1. It does not save the password, and 2. Anyway, saving and closing the dialog, then left clicking on the Network Manager applet shows me the network I created in a dropdown (among other wireless networks in the vicinity), but it's greyed out so I cannot connect to it
[23:22] <Scunizi> leftist: nope.. burn it as slow as you can.. if you got it from someplace other than ubuntu.com then redownload
[23:22] <Guest4965> iwlagn crashes my kernel, but iwl4965 works. I have already blacklisted the iwlagn driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but I do not know how to install iwl4965
[23:22] <neil_d> leftist: did you try generating and comparing the md5 checksum?
[23:22] <leftist> i am getthing them from ubuntu.com
[23:22] <leftist> neil_d no.
[23:22] <leftist> your right let me check
[23:22] <moz> mongy, could pls help me out?
[23:22] <leftist> thanks
[23:22] <Guest4965> How do I install iwl4965?
[23:23] <oCean> moz ... or motz? I have nothing. Just trying to figure out if you where trying to remove ppa's that did not even exist.
[23:23] <moz> mongy, are you there?
[23:24] <gribouille> I have problems with the pae kernel : the system is extremely slow
[23:24] <G00053> new to ubuntu(know you love to hear that) I'm having an issue with slow speeds with an asus usb-n13 wireless dongle.  Can anyone give me some clues on how to poke and prod this problem ?
[23:24] <arjun> arjun: I am 10.04 (LTS). And I also notice that if I change the 'Ad-Hoc' option to 'Infrastructure' the greyed out option disappears (and now I can *try* to connect to it as if it's a hidden wireless connection)
[23:24] <leftist> is it possible to do a netinstall with the live cd for 10.04 lts?
[23:25] <Somelauw> What is the defualt updater called.
[23:25] <mongy> moz, here
[23:25] <Somelauw> gnome-update?
[23:25] <Somelauw> ubuntu-update?
[23:25] <oldschool> Curly_Q about vlc would it take screen shots something like this does it have a option http://lookpic.com/c1/i2/2780/RqioLbSE.jpeg
[23:25] <triggerhapp> Fun error here : unable to handle kernel paging request 00001ff0, As usual I ran a memtest to see what's happening, and so far turned up no errors. What else could possbly be causing it?
[23:25] <triggerhapp> Somelauw, update-manager
[23:26] <Somelauw> Thanks and what is the program called that start update-manager once in a while?
[23:26] <mongy> motz, sudo ppa-purge me-tv-development
[23:27] <triggerhapp> Somelauw, err. Not sure. but surely you can cron that ;)
[23:27] <Curly_Q> Oldschool try looking at this site:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig2HVCZnAl4

[23:27] <KramB> How can I resize Docky?
[23:27] <pwnsauce> Hi all. Coming here as a last resort. Running natty for a while. Had black screen on boot errors for the last day or so. Updated just now which seemed to fix it. It boots further than before but still eventual black screen. On intel 915 chip. Any pointers?
[23:27] <GamingDroid> is port 53 essential for Ubuntu apt-get to work?
[23:27] <mongy> motz, then sudo apt-get update, then install me-tv
[23:27] <bazhang> pwnsauce, #ubuntu+1 for natty
[23:27] <motz> mongy, ok
[23:28] <pwnsauce> Thanks bazhang
[23:28] <Somelauw> gksudo doesn't seem to work when using awesome?
[23:28] <triggerhapp> pwnsauce, check dmesg for "handle kernel paging"
[23:28] <KramB> How can I change size of Docky, instead of going across whole page side but less.
[23:29] <MrSmith> nick/ X
[23:30] <pwnsauce> tripperhapp, no mention of said message in dmesg
[23:30] <triggerhapp> pwnsauce, then a different error to what I'm seeing, cant help ya on tht :s
[23:30] <pwnsauce> triggerhapp, thanks anyway. I'll move to the +1 room
[23:31] <KramB> Someone must know?
[23:31] <Curly_Q> By the way I found that on GOOGLE.  hehe
[23:31] <triggerhapp> good old google
[23:31] <chh> any easy way to compile 2.6.38 with the same config as the shipped kernels?
[23:32] <th0r> do you have it installed on a system? If so, you can switch to the src directory and issue 'make oldconfig'
[23:32] <chh> I don't have the dev pieces installed, no. Just the current pae 32 bit kernel.
[23:33] <chh> precompiled, etc. Just the usual one.
[23:33] <th0r> chh: do you have the src installed? If not, install the kernel sources, if so....just switch to the dir and do that make. make oldconfig creates a config that conforms to the installed kernel
[23:33] <chh> Well that is to say I'm running on this, Linux at 2.6.35-27-generic-pae #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 21:46:58 UTC 2011 i686
[23:34] <chh> th0r, Ok :) what's the metapackage for the standard gcc dev tools and so on?
[23:34] <KramB> How can I change the size of Docky?
[23:34] <G00053> I'm getting ~ 3Mbps on my ubuntu rig VS ~15 Mbps on my windows machine. both connected to the same wireless router. can someone help me diagnose ?
[23:35] <th0r> chh: I think all you will need is build-essential and kernel sources, but I am not sure....been ages since I messed with that
[23:35] <pwnsauce> KramB, pretty certain that's in the docky preferences
[23:35] <gribouille> where can I find packages for the 2.6.36 kernel ?
[23:35] <chh> th0r, all right! Great. -But the kernel sources for the running kernel aswell? I've got the 2.6.38 already but do I need the souce for the running one?
[23:36] <mongy> motz, cant guarantee it will have the same features.. as I say, mythtv has everything I need...I dont need to watch fullscreen either, I do a quick click/compiz scale to view it.
[23:36] <oldschool> Curly_Q thanks this help :)
[23:36] <Senjai> I remember someone the other day told me about an awesome audio player for ubuntu
[23:36] <th0r> I don't think the config for the old kernel can be used with the new. But if you can find someone who has the new kernel installed, their config should work for you
[23:36] <Senjai> Anyone know what it is? (a tad open ended, i know)
[23:37] <KramB> pwnsauce: You mean right-click settings?  That's where I go to, and it is not there
[23:37] <chh> th0r, I'll probe my logs and see what pieces I really use. And I'll experiment from zero instead. Thanks a bunch though.
[23:37] <skxx> hey gang, i need a program to set up a mouse macro to click certain parts of the screen at certain intervals.  any ideas?
[23:38] <azizLIGHTS> its not possible to have a .file and .dir/ of the same name in a dir?
[23:38] <motz> mongy, I reinstalled me-tv via apt-get and the fullscreen still doesn't work. So I installed mythtv
[23:38] <mouse> skxx in a browser?
[23:38] <oCean> azizLIGHTS: no
[23:38] <motz> but mythtv doesn't see the card
[23:38] <motz> mongy, any hint?
[23:38] <mongy> motz, it does... I use the same card
[23:39] <pwnsauce> KramB, right-click the docky tab on the far left of the dock? sorry, I'm not on my machine that's running docky
[23:39] <mouse> skxx or systemwide?
[23:39] <mongy> motz, you need to set it up a bit first
[23:39] <mongy> motz, follow the first link I gave you
[23:39] <skxx> mouse: systemwide would be preferable but browser works too
[23:39] <motz> which one?
[23:39] <KramB> pwnsauce: All I get is Settings, no perferences.
[23:39] <mongy> motz, http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php
[23:39] <th0r> chh: I have messed with the configs...no problem so long as you don't install the new (iffy) kernel as default. You can set the individual items b y issuing 'make menuconfig' in the src dir
[23:39] <mouse> skxx firefoxx addon imacro
[23:39] <pwnsauce> Yup, settings.
[23:39] <mouse> systemwide i do not know so far
[23:40] <skxx> mouse: much appreciated man, thx
[23:40] <chh> th0r, yeah great. No I'll only aim for that stable kernel.
[23:40] <th0r> chh: just don't change your default kernel until you have a working new kernel and you are absolutely sure everything works
[23:40] <pwnsauce> KramB, up should come a settings box, and you can tweak lots of things there
[23:40] <chh> th0r, I wont
[23:40] <mongy> motz, its pretty easy.. he even uses haupage
[23:40] <th0r> chh: if I remember right, menuconfig has defaults for every itme
[23:40] <Waxterzz> Hi all
[23:40] <th0r> (item)
[23:40] <mongy> motz, you might have to use different options with non-uk tv.
[23:41] <chh> th0r, ok :) Thanks
[23:41] <gribouille> I have problems with the pae kernel : the system is extremely slow
[23:41] <mouse> skxx shellscript would work
[23:41] <Waxterzz> is mirc really as funny as bash.org implies ?
[23:41] <KramB> pwnsauce: All I can do is change the theme of it, icon size, and that's about it.
[23:41] <mouse> for systemwide
[23:42] <pwnsauce> KramB, sorry, what exactly do you want to do with it again?
[23:42] <oCean> Waxterzz: this is ubuntu support channel. Join #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[23:42] <Senjai> !ot | Waxterzz
[23:42] <KramB> pwnsauce: I want to change the size of it, instead of extending across all of one side.  more like ini middle
[23:42] <pwnsauce> KramB, in settings, is "Panel Mode" checked?
[23:43] <morax> Hey ive got a question about a new ubuntu install, any help?
[23:43] <leftist> isn't there a 32bit version of the server?????
[23:43] <KramB> pwnsauce. :s  Lol...I feel so stupid.  Thanks mate.
[23:43] <pwnsauce> KramB, simple fix. Enjoy. :)
[23:43] <pwnsauce> morax, shoot....
[23:44] <triggerhapp> I'll pester again, I'm getting kernal page handle errors, but a memtest shows no defect in the memory, what else should I be looking at?
[23:44] <morax> the mouse pointer in the os , it only clicks on a link when you point it high
[23:44] <morax> any link, internet or otherwise
[23:44] <Curly_Q> Oldschool, your welcome.
[23:44] <pwnsauce> morax, what version are you running?
[23:45] <morax> i'm not sure..but i'm downloading it again
[23:45] <KramB> Should I keep my task list or use docky as that?
[23:45] <sn00pdigg> is anyone able to help me with something?
[23:45] <KramB> Personal opinions.
[23:45] <pwnsauce> morax, no need....
[23:45] <EClaesson> sn00pdigg: with what?
[23:45] <pwnsauce> morax, have you updated fully once you installed?
[23:45] <sn00pdigg> trying to install a "windows only" prog on my ubuntu machine...
[23:46] <morax> yeah
[23:46] <morax> win xp doesnt do that
[23:46] <morax> its werid
[23:46] <pwnsauce> sn00pdigg, have a look at installing "wine"
[23:46] <sn00pdigg> did
[23:46] <triggerhapp> sn00pdigg, used AppDB website?
[23:46] <sn00pdigg> when i double click the file, it produces error
[23:46] <pwnsauce> sn00pdigg, what's the error?
[23:46] <sn00pdigg> will i get kicked for flooding?
[23:47] <oCean> sn00pdigg: yes, use pastebin
[23:47] <pwnsauce> morax, sounds like a bug? Make sure you've updated fully and have restarted ther machine

[23:54] <Paul6253> hey all...Im running 8.10 and yes I know it's not supported but I just want to upgrade my java installation...I can't upgrade any software at all b/c I keep getting this prompt to d/l  jdk-6u10-docs.zip or jdk-6u10-docs-ja.zip but these arent even available anymore!
[23:55] <usr13> Paul6253: You will have to do it manually.
[23:55] <triggerhapp> Paul6253, I really hate to say it but you should probably see the java site to manually install
[23:55] <triggerhapp> usr13, ninja'd :3
[23:55] <rww> Paul6253: I believe we already talked about how your Ubuntu 8.10 isn't supported here. Please stop asking for support here.

[23:56] <suprbly> ok
[23:56] <Paul6253> yeah but rww...I'm not asking for ubuntu support per se...I mean should I not be able to run the same 'old' version software that 'WAS' working for 8.10 before?
[23:57] <elijahblake> triggerhapp, not sure like maybe archive features and all sorts of stuff like that
[23:57] <zvacet> elijahblake:  are codecs in question
[23:57] <rww> Paul6253: No, because EOL repositories are removed from the mirror system.
[23:57] <usr13> Paul6253: Do you know how old 8.10 is?
