[00:02] <knoppies> How do I get rid of that annoying sound (drdrdrd, with the drums) that plays to tell you: Im ready for you to login.
[00:03] <knoppies> dougl, remember to leave space for updates/packages you want to install.
[00:03] <mr_potato> usr13, wow that also shows reverse dependencies

[00:04] <chris_osx> hi, how can i see, what ip address the devices in my network have?
[00:04] <Viih> I do not speak English
[00:04] <knoppies> jamiewan, already done that, it works for after I have logged in, but not before I have logged in,.
[00:04] <usr13> chris_osx: ifconfig
[00:04] <smw> Viih, what do you speak?
[00:05] <chris_osx> usr13: no i mean the devices like printer and other gadgets with ip address
[00:05] <usr13> Viih: What is your native language?
[00:05] <ar0n> hey guys what seems to be the best option in getting flash to play as best as possible
[00:05] <triggerhapp> chris_osx, nmap ?
[00:05] <kdub> i'd guess portugese
[00:05] <chris_osx> triggerhapp: thanks
[00:05] <ar0n> i have tried the standard plugin, as well as flash square for linux
[00:05] <jamiewan> chris_osx, nmap will show all devices
[00:05] <Gatorade> I' m sorry 2 be ennoying, but my screen flickering is really annoying
[00:05] <Viih> português
[00:05] <jamiewan> ip's that is
[00:05]  * kdub was right
[00:05] <triggerhapp> chris_osx, but that's almost using a chainsaw to trim leaves
[00:05] <usr13> chris_osx: Ask your system admin.
[00:06] <todulchaos> Ive having some video output issues.  Been reading forums all last night and today.
[00:06] <triggerhapp> usr13, that's the easy way out ;)
[00:06] <kdub> Viih: #ubuntu-br
[00:06] <chris_osx> usr13: i am the admin
[00:06] <twitch> !br
[00:06] <usr13> :)
[00:06] <Gatorade> *!
[00:06] <suprbly> quit
[00:06] <ar0n> i still seem to get pretty shoddy playback off of certain sites that are embedding youtubge vids
[00:06] <Socky_> Hey guys, i know how to do a "sudo add-apt-repository"  but how do you remove?  I tried sudo remove-apt-repos...  but that didnt work
[00:06] <sxj_> irc
[00:06] <twitch> Socky_: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:06] <usr13> chris_osx: You could try a broadcast ping but most nics do not respond to broadcast ping
[00:07] <triggerhapp> Oh god. Socky_ twitch  ppa-purge?
[00:07] <Scunizi> chris_osx: etherape might be another choice.. gui centric and easy.
[00:07] <ar0n> anyone
[00:07] <ar0n> bueller
[00:07] <jamiewan> chris_osx, go to terminal type nmap plus your ip with a /24 instead of the last digit in ya ip
[00:07] <twitch> triggerhapp: i like editing files ... *hands on ;)
[00:07] <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.
[00:07] <jamiewan> shopuld show all ip's on your network
[00:07] <usr13> chris_osx: i.e.  ping -b 192.168.1.0
[00:08] <triggerhapp> twitch, not so good for removing any installed packages from said repo ;)
[00:08] <Scunizi> chris_osx: there's also gnmap which is nmap with a limited gui
[00:08] <Socky_> triggerhapp: i accidently typed "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name" and i want to remove that line  i dont see it in sources.list
[00:08] <twitch> triggerhapp: true ... but if i wanted it gone apt-get remove or dpkg :P
[00:08] <sn00pdigg> this windows program needs to interact with the usb and access it and it won't recognize the usb
[00:08] <triggerhapp> Socky_, It's probably in another file in /etc/apt/sources.d
[00:09] <jamiewan> chris_osx, so say your box ip is 10.0.0.1 then type nmap 10.0.0/24
[00:09] <triggerhapp> twitch, true. true :3
[00:09] <usr13> chris_osx: What you should do is set static IPs for the things you need to keep track of.
[00:09] <zvacet> Socky_ : look in sources.d folder
[00:09] <knoppies> Socky_, try man apt-add-repository
[00:10] <jamiewan> chris_osx, install nmap first tho lol
[00:10] <sn00pdigg> this windows program installed correctly but needs to interact with the usb and access it and it won't recognize the usb
[00:10] <OW> Ola bruderz! ikonia bruder Pici bruder ola!
[00:10] <sn00pdigg> when i plug in the usb device, it doens't recognize it as the windows machine would
[00:10] <zvacet> Socky_ : sources.list.d folder
[00:11] <ar0n> sn00pdigg, ?
[00:11] <twitch> Socky_: all else fails try going in gnome System-> admin -.update manager ... settings and then other software tab
[00:11] <triggerhapp> sn00pdigg, look up AppDB website for info about your windows program
[00:11] <ar0n> is anyone using flashplayer square 64bit ?
[00:12] <todulchaos> Running an nvidia ION with an aspire r3610 nettop. Displayed is output to a HDTV via HDMI
[00:12] <todulchaos> I was getting choppy playback with the built in driver support. that and I couldn't quite make the screen fill the entire HDTV display area
[00:12] <todulchaos> I found the 3rd Party Nvidia drivers, that support hardware acceleration.  Now I Can play 1080P.  Problem now is the Output area is slightly larger than my HDTV
[00:12] <todulchaos> so the left/right top/bottom boundries are off the screen
[00:12] <todulchaos> Nvidia X server settings allows me to adjust rez, but I can't seem to shrink the output dispay area to make it fit
[00:12] <FloodBot2> todulchaos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:12] <knoppies> What software would you suggest if I want to make voip/webcam with others who use windows (skype?googletalk?)?
[00:12] <ar0n> usr13,  notice any improvements
[00:12] <ar0n> ?
[00:12] <M-T> I think I may have just hosed my media center PC (Acer Aspire Revo) that runs Ubuntu Karmic.  I let it do a system upgrade and after it rebooted it would only come up in Low-Resolution mode,  I use a program called "Back In Time" which I thought was supposed to be like Time Machine on a Mac.  So I tried restoring from the latest backup.  Not only did that NOT fix the video issue, but now Sudo doesn't work, nor any program that requires a
[00:12] <M-T> password.
[00:12] <usr13> ar0n: Since when __________?
[00:12] <ar0n> since the upgrade?
[00:13] <ar0n> M-T,  thats no good
[00:13] <triggerhapp> knoppies, for skype, use skype
[00:13] <memorygap0> i always get this "N: Ignoring file 'karmic_0.list.1' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
[00:13] <memorygap0> " is that a problem
[00:13] <Socky_> thanks
[00:13] <usr13> Well, I haven't fired up my 64bit machine in about a week now.  So I guess not.  (In other words, I do not know when the last upgrade was.)
[00:13] <twitch> knoppies: you can get skype for linux and !empathy for msn/yahoo etc ...
[00:13] <twitch> !webcam | knoppies
[00:14] <usr13> ar0n: So, again:  Since when __________?
[00:14] <M-T> I know.  I can still get into it as a user but wonder if there's any hope of repairing it.
[00:14] <knoppies> triggerhapp, I know, thanks, thats not what I was asking, I was asking for better alternatives.
[00:14] <ar0n> have you noticed any issues with youtube embedded clips
[00:14] <ar0n> http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/3/18/2057986/ufc-128-weigh-in-video-and-results#storyjump
[00:14] <usr13> ar0n: Since when __________?
[00:14] <ar0n> or this
[00:14] <knoppies> thatnks twitch, do you know of any better alternatives.
[00:14] <ar0n> after the upgrade to 64bit
[00:14] <triggerhapp> knoppies, I meant that the only way to connect with skype protocol is skype ;) wasnt sure if you thought others would support it
[00:15] <usr13> ar0n: Well, yea it works just fine. But that's all I can say.  It works just fine on my 32bit box as well, so....
[00:15] <knoppies> triggerhapp, thanks, what I meant was, they can install anything on their machine, provided that it will run on windows.
[00:15] <triggerhapp> knoppies, understood :3
[00:15] <twitch> knoppies: To the best of my knowledge, there is no alternative Skype client for any platform. The Skype protocol has yet to be fully reverse engineered for compatibility with a replacement application. The protocol itself is proprietary and heavily encrypted and obfuscated.
[00:16] <triggerhapp> twitch, haha. Just annoy him more ;)
[00:16] <twitch> :D
[00:16] <knoppies> twitch, I was hoping to avoid the skype protocol, and use something much better, maybe open source. But as I said, there must be a windows client too.

[00:16] <Guest4965> How to install kernel module iwl4965?
[00:16] <kdog> what is the service that gwibber uses for notification pop-ups?
[00:16] <todulchaos> ugh.
[00:16] <zvacet> M-T:  boot in recovery mode and type adduser <username> admin
[00:17] <ar0n> oh wait, i beleive ufc.com uses silverlight
[00:17] <ar0n> what would be the best option for that
[00:17] <M-T> How do I boot in recovery mode?
[00:17] <LittleRed> ar)n: yes it does
[00:17] <sn00pdigg> I look at AppDB and my program isn't listed
[00:17] <Guest4965> M-T: Hold shift at boot to show grub boot menu, then select recovery mode to boot.
[00:17] <ar0n> LittleRed,  really?
[00:18] <arbitrary> I think something is wrong with the network setup of my system. route -n prints: Kernel IP routing table /newline/ Destination     Gateway       Genmask       Flags Metric Ref   Use Iface
[00:18] <arbitrary> This is not the system I am connected to the net with :|
[00:18] <twitch> knoppies: empathy for ubuntu and msn for windows .. they do video calling
[00:18] <zvacet> M-T:  when comp boot you will see grub entries with kernel names pick one witch have recovery mode in name
[00:18] <ar0n> hmm do you have moonlight installed littlered?
[00:18] <LittleRed> ar0n: yes UFC uese silverlight... give me a sec and let me see what I used instead
[00:18] <usr13> M-T: boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system"
[00:18] <triggerhapp> arbitrary, I love that you clarified that pre-emptively
[00:18] <M-T> Okay, I will try that when I am finished backing up a few things, but I'll bet I'm going to have a problem because my keyboard usually isn't active at boot
[00:19] <knoppies> twitch, thats even worse. I think I will stick with googletalk. Thank you.
[00:19] <garme> Heya
[00:19] <M-T> I have to unplug/replug it to activate it
[00:19] <garme> does someone know how to remove gnome in ubuntu 10.04?
[00:19] <zvacet> M-T:  then do what usr13 adviced
[00:19] <twitch> !moonlight | ar0n
[00:19] <usr13> !kde | garme
[00:19] <Guest4965> M-T: Then force a recordfail on the hard drive by powering off shortly after boot, then grub will load the menu. Though I'm not sure how you'll select the right option
[00:19] <ar0n> LittleRed,  moonlight is what i grabbed
[00:20] <sn00pdigg> anyone have any idea why my windows program running on ubuntu can't recognize my usb device?
[00:20] <ar0n> what is the terminal hot key guys?
[00:20] <Guest4965> I really need to install iwl4965
[00:20] <triggerhapp> sn00pdigg, looked it up on AppDB yet?
[00:20] <sn00pdigg> yes
[00:20] <LittleRed> ar0n: I can't figure out what I used... I have a grip of plugins
[00:20] <sn00pdigg> its not listed
[00:20] <usr13> ar0n: What ever you want it to be.  (Your choice)
[00:20] <triggerhapp> sn00pdigg, then the app isnt supported
[00:20] <garme> ubottu: well... i dont like intalling kde... i just want remove gnome.
[00:20] <zvacet> garme : what do you want to install instead
[00:20] <twitch> Guest4965: explain?

[00:21] <bazhang> garme, then install lubuntu-desktop
[00:21] <zvacet> garme:  just a sec
[00:21] <sn00pdigg> triggerhapp, its a lesser know program...
[00:21] <twitch> ar0n: yeah flash isn't the most stable of plugins
[00:21] <Guest4965> twitch: On ubuntu 10.04 iwl4965 was the default kernel module for my device. It worked fine. Now in 10.10, it is iwlagn, iwlagn crashes my kernel at boot.
[00:21] <ar0n> i see this
[00:21] <Snakkah> Hi. How do I get a new IP address or renew it?
[00:21] <usr13> Snakkah: ifconfig  or  dhclient
[00:21] <zvacet> garme:  http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/purelxde
[00:22] <M-T> Just copying this stuff to notes...
[00:22] <twitch> Guest4965: when it's loading modules before it gets to gdm?
[00:22] <usr13> Snakkah: ifconfig  to see what it is,  sudo dhclient  to renew
[00:22] <Guest4965> twitch: yes
[00:22] <M-T> If I can get it to pause long enough to let me unplug/repulg USB keyboard I can use it.
[00:22] <memorygap0> how do i know if am  i using 32 or 64 bit? on my ubuntu10.10

[00:26] <sn00pdigg> i've checked the manufacturer's website... its an lg optimus
[00:26] <Guest4965> memorygap0: change 32 to 386, or just do uname -m
[00:26] <Guest4965> like the smart person said
[00:26] <SoulShadow> nobody knows how to downgrade a kernel driver?
[00:27] <twitch> memorygap0: uname -m
[00:27] <Guest4965> Though I'm thinking no result means its 32 lol
[00:27] <Guest4965> I've looked everywhere for iwl4965, can't find it
[00:27] <memorygap0> twicth: i686 the result
[00:28] <twitch> Guest4965: im not smart lol :P .. i'm of meh head atm :P
[00:28] <memorygap0> is that 64 or 32 bit
[00:28] <garme> zvacet: I just tried it too...
[00:28] <Guest4965> That's 32
[00:28] <twitch> ^
[00:28] <Guest4965> if not 64, 32
[00:28] <sn00pdigg> it's weird to me that a phone running on android (linux-based from my understanding) wouldn't be recognized on a machine running ubuntu (linux-based)
[00:28] <garme> Doesnot work.
[00:28] <jamiewan> sn00pdigg, phone running andriod?
[00:28] <sn00pdigg> yes...

[00:30] <KramB> Triggerhapp: I tried but all I got was green screen?
[00:30] <sn00pdigg> any ideas?

[00:31] <morgoth>  iwlist wlan0 scan http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399997/, wpa_supplicant http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399998/
[00:31] <jamiewan> sn00pdigg, try here http://cheapcellunlockedphones.com/the-easy-way-to-root-unroot-lg-android-phones/
[00:31] <garme> zvacet: I will try it now.
[00:31] <zvacet> garme:  don´t run last command apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[00:31] <gerardjamet> hello
[00:31] <garme> zvacet: ok. :D tnx.
[00:32] <gerardjamet> from france
[00:32] <zvacet> garme : just remove ubuntu desktop and after that run sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[00:32] <sn00pdigg> thank you jamiewan
[00:32] <garme> zvacet: Ok.
[00:32] <sn00pdigg> is it safe to install Mono?
[00:32] <jamiewan> sn00pdigg, just a quick look but might have something useful
[00:32] <gerardjamet> i have troubles with compiz
[00:32] <Guest4965> twitch: I don't think they were bleeding edge, either way, there is no iwl4965 module
[00:33] <LittleRed> well I finally foud out that my media bar isn't supported for 64 bit yet... I'm ok with that, just have to wait now
[00:33] <zvacet> garme: or you can install lubuntu desktop from synaptic and after that remove ubuntu desktop from terminal
[00:33] <Guest4965> twitch: Here's something strange, ifconfig -a shows wlan0
[00:33] <n4cht> question:  grub2 installed with a timeout of 0, so no grub menu, but system boots in a mode my monitor cannot handle; how do i get to a grub menu to add 'nomodeset' and 'vga=791' ?
[00:33] <bazhang> zvacet, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, removing it will do nothing
[00:34] <Guest4965> but if I enable it (use the RF switch) it will freeze my system
[00:34] <ar0n> littlered im having shit for luck on that ufc page
[00:34] <zvacet> bazhang: I give him a link how to remove all packages form ubuntu desktop and replace gnome with lxde
[00:34] <ar0n> i got moonlight installed
[00:34] <ar0n> no luck
[00:34] <p_res> As bazhang states, ubuntu-desktop is perfectly safe to remove with no after effects.
[00:34] <bazhang> ar0n, no cursing
[00:34] <Code_Bleu> how do i convert a .jpg file to a .tiff file?
[00:34] <ar0n> sorry
[00:34] <abstrakt> why is /usr/share/terminfo blank?
[00:35] <sn00pdigg> Unable to locate package lib32ncurses5?
[00:35] <abstrakt> do I need to manually install the terminfo entries?
[00:35] <p_res> Code_Bleu: Open it and resave as TIFF.
[00:35] <Guest4965> n4cht: Press e, erase "quiet splash" and replace with nomodeset, then press ctrl-x
[00:35] <sn00pdigg> ignore that
[00:35] <LittleRed> ar0n: I'm fiber to the wall and it's the slowest loading page I've run into
[00:35] <Code_Bleu> p_res: from command line
[00:35] <ledbettj> Code_Bleu: install the 'imagemagick' package and do 'convert input.jpg output.tiff'
[00:35] <p_res> Code_Bleu: Probably require feh or imagemagick packages.
[00:35] <garme> zvacet: its working. <o/
[00:35] <p_res> Code_Bleu: Not too sure.
[00:35] <garme> zvacet: tnx, man.
[00:35] <garme> :D
[00:35] <twitch> Guest4965: your on a laptop right?
[00:35] <Guest4965> yes
[00:35] <zvacet> garme: of cource it does  ;)
[00:35] <n4cht> Guest4965: that only works when your timeout isn't set to zero and you actually *get* a grub menu.  as ubuntu is the only OS installed, the timeout was automatically set to zero during install.
[00:36] <ar0nic> wow llittle red i guess two things maybe, perhaps moonlight slow or ufc is lagged to hell
[00:36] <ar0nic> however all else seems to work
[00:36] <LittleRed> ar0n: you a Faber fan?
[00:36] <Code_Bleu> ledbettj: i tried that, but the image properties says: Failed to load image information
[00:36] <ar0nic> maybe it buffers more than silver light
[00:36] <ar0nic> LittleRed,  for a long time
[00:36] <zvacet> garme.enjoy lubuntu
[00:36] <twitch> Guest4965: fn+f5 ?
[00:36] <Cronk> I am having an issue with too many windows open causing the application widgets on the task bar to go kind of crazy.  And the usage on two processes spike:  Xorg and wnck-applet.  (It only happens when you get 8 or more windows open.)
[00:36] <ar0nic> tis sad people wrote him off after his few losses
[00:36] <n4cht> i'm trying to figure out how to *get* a grub menu so i *can* press 'e' and make those changes.
[00:36] <ar0nic> after a career of owning
[00:36] <garme> zvacet: tnx, man.
[00:36] <garme> :D
[00:36] <viewer> when i suspejnd a job in the terminal using ctrl-z how do i kill it?  i type jobs and see its job 1, then i try kill 1 and it says operation not permitted??
[00:37] <ledbettj> Code_Bleu: I just tested it with one of my jpegs -- worked ok; is there something special about the jpg you are trying to convert?
[00:37] <Cronk> viewer:  Try "kill -9 1"
[00:37] <Guest4965> n4cht: Then why not kill the power during boot to record a boot fail, then get your grub menu that way
[00:37] <LittleRed> ar0n: the weigh in is still loading (ggrrrrr..hate waiting) Let me see if MMAjunkie has it
[00:37] <n4cht> viewer: ps aux | grep <job name>   then kill -9
[00:37] <ehw> viewer, type %1 otherwise you're killing PID 1, which is probably not what you want...
[00:37] <n4cht> sorry... kill -9 <pid>
[00:38] <twitch> n4cht: grep -i :P makes it easier
[00:38] <rww> n4cht: hold down shift at boot
[00:38] <p_res> Code_Bleu: Can you load the image into GIMP or something similar?
[00:38] <n4cht> rww: i'll give that a try.
[00:38] <jamiewan> viewer, or run top in terminal find the pid number of the app then sudo kill -9 pid
[00:38] <ledbettj> viewer: you can also do ' killall `pidof <programname>` '
[00:38] <ehw> viewer, so "kill %1"
[00:38] <Code_Bleu> ledbettj: it converts for me too, but if you right click and go to properties...then the image tab it says: Failed to load image information
[00:39] <LittleRed> ar0n: there is a silverlight plugin... give me a sec and I'll let you know if  it works
[00:39] <p_res> Linux has issues with maintaining exif data with jpeg > tiff conversions. I know that.
[00:39] <Code_Bleu> ledbettj: ok, Gimp gives the same result...so that must be the norm...i guess.
[00:39] <n4cht> rww: you're my hero.
[00:40] <n4cht> rww: successful boot.  :D
[00:40] <twitch> Guest4965: i have no ideas sry unless you backport a kernel
[00:40] <ledbettj> Code_Bleu: I see the same behavior.  doesn't seem to affect the image, just the info in nautilus.
[00:40] <viewer> ledbettj, jamiewan, n4cht, Cronk, thanks but im trying to do it without top or going throught the PID as an exercise
[00:40] <viewer> ehw, when i try to designate its a job number with 5 it just lists the stopped job like when typing 'jobs'
[00:41] <viewer> ehw, designate with & (sorry)
[00:41] <n4cht> viewer: nice.  i only ever kill processes by PID myself.  good luck though.  :)
[00:41] <LittleRed> ar0n: it's loading
[00:41] <p_res> viewer: You can still use top to nab the pid though.
[00:42] <ehw> viewer, here's an example: "sleep 500 &" returns [1] 10847
[00:42] <jamiewan> yeah best way or try htop, gives u option to scroll to it and kill
[00:42] <LittleRed> ar0n: it's being an ass monkey
[00:42] <ehw> viewer, "jobs" shows "[1]+  Running                 sleep 500 &"
[00:42] <Cronk> (OK, last time.  I am guessing folks don't have an answer, but maybe...just maybe...the question is getting missed.  I will stop spamming after this.)
[00:42] <ar0nic> did it make you buffer/load all of it?
[00:42] <Cronk> I am having an issue with too many windows open causing the application widgets on the task bar to go kind of crazy.  And the usage on two processes spike:  Xorg and wnck-applet.  (It only happens when you get 8 or more windows open.)
[00:42] <p_res> jamiewan: Agreed. htop is much better than regular top.
[00:42] <ehw> viewer "kill %1" kills #1: "[1]+  Terminated              sleep 500"
[00:42] <twitch> ^
[00:43] <jamiewan> p_res, yes and its colored in as well lol
[00:43] <viewer> ehw, i had to do kill -9 %1 thanks that did it
[00:43] <p_res> jamiewan: <thumbsup>
[00:43] <ehw> viewer, ok; if it's hung the -9 might be necessary too
[00:44] <BentFranklin> Using Kubuntu 10.4.  In Software Management, if I search for "python" I get 1000 results.  But "python-2.7" gets none.  How can I search within results or otherwise find the exact name of the most recent python 2.x version?
[00:44] <viewer> ehw, i see, thanks
[00:44] <ar0nic> hey LittleRed  did it make you load all of it
[00:45] <ehw> viewer, as an aside, "sudo kill -9 1" would terminate init (which is always PID 1), at which point hilarity ensues :-)
[00:45] <ar0nic> then play or did it buffer at all
[00:45] <BentFranklin> I guess I should say I have python 2.6 and am trying to upgrade if that wasn't obvious.
[00:45] <twitch> BentFranklin: 2.6 is the lastest for ubuntu i believe
[00:45] <LittleRed> ar0nic: looks like thats the only way... buffer is loading now, not streaming
[00:45] <jamiewan> ehw, :-)
[00:45] <BentFranklin> twitch: So if 2.7 were ready it would be available as an upgrade...?
[00:45] <trism> BentFranklin: there is no 2.7 package in the lucid repos, it wasn't added until 10.10
[00:46] <twitch> BentFranklin: then you will have to download the source and compile it .. it's not hard
[00:46] <viewer> ehw, haha ok ill take your word for that one
[00:47] <bazZ_> jo
[00:47] <BentFranklin> twitch: That would require me to level up in Linux.  Maybe i'll try it.
[00:47] <zvacet> Code_Bleu: you can convert it in gimp save as and then choose extension	
[00:47] <BentFranklin> I think I can type make install
[00:48] <twitch> BentFranklin: ./configure ; make ; sudo make altinstall
[00:48] <chrisn2323> hi
[00:48] <chrisn2323> i installed ubuntu server
[00:48] <chrisn2323> and want to install samba
[00:48] <chrisn2323> but when i do
[00:48] <twitch> BentFranklin: that will provide you with 2.6 and 2.7
[00:48] <FloodBot2> chrisn2323: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:48] <chrisn2323> sudo apt-get install samba
[00:48] <chrisn2323> it tells me that the package is not available but is reffered etc...
[00:48] <chrisn2323> i checked my repos and everything seems fine
[00:49] <chrisn2323> is there anything i am missing ?
[00:49] <jamiewan> yeah the point of writing all in one line so not to flood lol
[00:49] <twitch> lol
[00:49] <morgoth> apt-get install samba-common
[00:50] <zvacet> chrisn2323: do you have universe repo
[00:50] <rww> chrisn2323: have you done "sudo apt-get update" recently? if not, do that.
[00:50] <chrisn2323> yes
[00:50] <chrisn2323> i have universe
[00:51] <chrisn2323> and i did update
[00:51] <bazhang> !enter | chrisn2323
[00:51] <jamiewan> chrisn2323, restart???
[00:51] <chrisn2323> owait it is updating
[00:51] <rww> chrisn2323: pastebin the output from sudo apt-get update and apt-cache policy samba, please.
[00:51] <dougl> how fast is sd memory card compared to a 5400 rpm hd?
[00:51] <connect> hey every one
[00:51] <rww> never mind then.
[00:51] <chrisn2323> much faste
[00:51] <chrisn2323> r
[00:52] <bazhang> dougl, try ##hardware , thats offtopic here
[00:52] <connect> how do you have a spilt screen?
[00:52] <Cronk> OK, another unrelated question:  when I shut down my Ubuntu 10.10,  it causes a something to happen with the network router, causing another computer (windows) to have network disruption for 15 seconds or so.
[00:52] <chrisn2323> ok its working now
[00:53] <jamiewan> Cronk, windows problem probably lol
[00:53] <dougl> bazhang, thanks :)
[00:54] <Cronk> hehe  Could be, but it doesn't happen when the laptop (the one w/ Ubuntu) is shutdown from Windows (it's dual boot).
[00:54] <connect> how do you get spilt screen
[00:55] <illmortal> Anyone know of an equalizer application? Rythm Box doesn't come with one... need to create presets for sound and movies
[00:55] <jamiewan> illmortal, Audacious is best for me, the eq settins stick unlike vlc
[00:55] <illmortal> nice.. let me check it out :D
[00:56] <LittleRed> GUYS! got it to play... yeah buddy!
[00:58] <sn00pdigg> still working on getting my phone connected. will update with results once i figure something out
[00:59] <jeeves_moss> what is the switch command to DD copy from one drive to a new one with a larger parition
[00:59] <jamiewan> sn00pdigg, so nothing happens at all when you connect it?
[00:59] <sn00pdigg> anyone know if android sdk is included in ubuntu?
[00:59] <sn00pdigg> correct
[01:00] <sn00pdigg> just charges my phone...
[01:00] <jamiewan> does it show up in lsusb>
[01:00] <jamiewan> lsusb
[01:00] <Jordan_U> jeeves_moss: No switch is needed. You just need to resize the partition/filesystem on the larger drive after copying.
[01:00] <sn00pdigg> but i'm working on having the drivers and being able to update it with the software correctly
[01:00] <sn00pdigg> brb
[01:00] <sn00pdigg> shows
[01:00] <sn00pdigg> it's listed
[01:01] <sn00pdigg> but the program doesn't recognize it
[01:01] <sn00pdigg> it's a windows program...
[01:01] <jamiewan> ok so the box picks it up but no gui interaction correct
[01:01] <sn00pdigg> that's the issue
[01:01] <sn00pdigg> yes
[01:01] <FloodBot2> sn00pdigg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:01] <Code_Bleu> so, is there really no good reciept scanning software for linux??
[01:01] <sn00pdigg> that sounds correct
[01:01] <fabio333> i'm going to install win 7 beside ubuntu
[01:01] <sn00pdigg> fuck win 7... just sayin
[01:01] <fabio333> after that ubuntu wont'i nstall again is it right?
[01:01] <IdleOne> !language | sn00pdigg
[01:01] <bazhang> sn00pdigg, no cursing
[01:01] <sn00pdigg> it's weird when you have a dual boot windows machine
[01:02] <fabio333> can i use easybdc to restore ubuntu in the win 7 boot loader?
[01:02] <Code_Bleu> Im having a hard time thinking that im the only Linux user out there that would want to scan reciepts
[01:02] <sn00pdigg> the windows tries to take control...
[01:02] <jamiewan> fabio333, yep youll overwrite the mbr
[01:02] <sn00pdigg> there is definitely a way to do it but you have to fight it...
[01:02] <fabio333> will win 7 boot loader start ubuntu?
[01:02] <bazhang> !enter | sn00pdigg
[01:02] <jamiewan> fabio333, no
[01:02] <sn00pdigg> okay. i'm going back to trying my process jamiewan
[01:02] <morgoth> hi. i am having trouble with connecting my Fritz!WLAN usb 2.4 n to my router. i get an ip via dhcp, but i cant ping any machines inside or outside my lan.   iwlist wlan0 scan http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399997/, wpa_supplicant http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399998/
[01:02] <sn00pdigg> omg. the bots in this chan hate me...
[01:03] <Jordan_U> fabio333: No, you'll need to follow this guide to restore grub from a liveCD: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[01:03] <jamiewan> lol
[01:03] <bazhang> sn00pdigg, no need for the excessive running commentary
[01:03] <rww> sn00pdigg: maybe you should listen to them, then :\
[01:03] <fabio333> i dont want grub to show up it's ugly
[01:03] <Fusse> why does not my internet work? cant even connect to any site? its just loading and loading :/
[01:04] <DaPenguin> fabio333, grub will boot win, but win won't boot nix afaik
[01:04] <morgoth> el preciso
[01:04] <Jordan_U> fabio333: grub is themeable, and at least IMHO Window's bootloader is just as ugly as grub is by default.
[01:04] <Ampelbein> Code_Bleu: what do you mean by "receipts"? I fail do understand your problem.
[01:04] <fabio333> http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu
[01:04] <Teggeh> Hello Gents.
[01:05] <fabio333> win 7 boot loader: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/4837105077_f09ab4bb22_o.png
[01:05] <sn00pdigg> understood.
[01:05] <Teggeh> My boot loader is massive at the moment.
[01:05] <fabio333> Due to a bug in Ubuntu 10.04+, the current steps are rather more convoluted than they used to be in previous versions, ...
[01:06] <sn00pdigg> can anyone tell me if android sdk is already on my ubuntu machine? or how would i load it?
[01:06] <Teggeh> 6 different boot options for Ubuntu, then mem test, then win7.
[01:06] <fabio333> ok, if i restore grub... no need to add win 7 manually?
[01:06] <morgoth> is ndiswrapper included in the default installation
[01:07] <Ampelbein> Teggeh: you can use the computer janitor to remove old kernel versions, that will reduce the ubuntu-* entries.
[01:07] <Jordan_U> fabio333: Just run "sudo update-grub" and an entry for Windows will be added automatically.
[01:07] <jamiewan> yep
[01:07] <DaPenguin> fabio333, looks like that method actually slaves grub itself to the win bootloader, so, no, shouldn't have to i wouldn't think
[01:07] <Teggeh> Ampelbein: Excellent, thanks.
[01:08] <fabio333> DaPenguin, i saw something on youtube where the win boot loader started grub...
[01:08] <Teggeh> Now to make my Ubuntu look pretty again.
[01:09] <Jordan_U> fabio333: Grub with an Ubuntu theme: http://apebox.org/wordpress/wp-content/gallery/grubtheme/grubthemes-00000010.png
[01:09] <slipkid08> Nice
[01:09] <fabio333> Jordan_U, not bad
[01:09] <slipkid08> How do you theme grub?
[01:09] <DaPenguin> fabio333, yeah, it looks possible. thought you were asking about having the win bootloader load the kernel directly
[01:10] <XATRIX> hi guys, i've got a problem. it looks like i have multiple kernels installed on my system... 5 or 6 .  how can i tell apt-get to uninstall all versions of kernel, except latest one ?
[01:10] <fabio333> mbr -> win boot loader -> grub
[01:10] <hellows> hello
[01:11] <hellows> may i ask a question?
[01:11] <Jordan_U> slipkid08: Download http://retro.apebox.org/grubthemes/directhex-grub-themes-00000010.tar.gz and read the README.
[01:11] <DaPenguin> fabio333, yeah, that's def possible, a wubi install does that by default
[01:12] <hellows> how can i open an external hard drive from a terminal? i have ubuntu 10.04.
[01:12] <jamiewan> XATRIX, not to worry ive got lots as well but there is a way to limit the number of them, just cant remember yet
[01:12] <fabio333> ok thank you
[01:12] <fabio333> and what about the plymouth splash shoing up too late?
[01:13] <fabio333> the windows 7 splash pops up very soon... or it's just an intel card present?
[01:13] <Jordan_U> hellows: First figure out what the drive's device name is by looking at the output of "sudo blkid", then mount it with "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/" and it will be accessible via /mnt/.
[01:13] <DaPenguin> hellows, have to mount it, then just browse to the mount point folder like any other one
[01:14] <hellows> it is allready mounted... i was looking something like start d:
[01:14] <hellows> in windows...
[01:14] <hellows> is there something like that?
[01:14] <jamiewan> XATRIX,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587462
[01:14] <p_res> hellows: Your mounted drives are located in /media/x
[01:14] <DaPenguin> hellows, nix actually doesn't use drive letters but puts everything under the root file system
[01:15] <fabio333> windows 7 has a mount option
[01:15] <p_res> fabio333: We're not in here to discuss Windows.
[01:16] <fabio333> p_res, u right
[01:16] <fabio333> ubuntu is about what u can't do in windows
[01:16] <anth> i agree
[01:17] <p_res> fabio333: No it is not what it's about.
[01:17] <Ben64> linux is about freedom
[01:17] <p_res> It's simply an alternative and free and open source operating system that is based on the Linux kernel.
[01:18] <p_res> It has nothing to do with performing tasks that can't be done in Windows.
[01:18] <Valkyrie> I have over a hundred gigs of space free on this partition, i'd like to take 60 gigs of it, and unpartition that space -- Is that possible?
[01:18] <Ben64> you could resize the partition
[01:19] <Valkyrie> Ben64: How would I do that? Sorry, new to partition re-sizing.
[01:19] <Ben64> gparted should be able to do it
[01:19] <Valkyrie> Ben64: Easily? With no hassle type of thing?
[01:19] <Ben64> its a nice graphical tool
[01:19] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, gparted, same tool the installer uses, should be able to do it nondestructively
[01:19] <Guest4965> Is there an archive of older ubuntu images for same versions? I need an older 10.10 copy
[01:19] <Valkyrie> DaPenguin: Does ubuntu come with it?
[01:20] <rww> Guest4965: Ubuntu 10.10's ISO files haven't been changed since release.
[01:20] <Ben64> dunno if gparted gets installed by default
[01:20] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, should, if not apt-get it
[01:20] <Valkyrie> I'm apt-getting it
[01:20] <Valkyrie> Run it as root, I take it?
[01:20] <Guest4965> rww: Thanks for that info
[01:20] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, gksudo gparted
[01:20] <p_res> You can also use the already install palimpsest.
[01:21] <p_res> installed
[01:21] <mtaylor> anybody know how to change system timezone (easily) in natty? I used to use the clock applet and the list of locations for that in the past - but it doesn't seem to work in the current alpha
[01:21] <Valkyrie> Problem -- That partition is my main partition
[01:21] <Valkyrie> I can't do anything without unmounting it, can I? So, it'd be impossible to unmount while i'm using this computer.
[01:21] <Ben64> why would you want to resize it by the way?
[01:22] <pwnsauce> Valkerie: Try using a live cd
[01:22] <Ben64> and you could do that with the bootable cd
[01:22] <Valkyrie> Ben64: Need a small windows partition for school
[01:22] <Valkyrie> Ugh, that means I have to burn a CD
[01:22] <Valkyrie> =/
[01:22] <Ben64> use the ubuntu cd you used to install
[01:22] <pwnsauce> Valkerie: Or use a usb key
[01:22] <DaPenguin> or make a bootable falsh drive :)
[01:22] <Teggeh> Themes seem quite hard to install. Either that or I'm doing it wrong.
[01:22] <p_res> Valkyrie: Why is burning a cd so hard?
[01:22] <Valkyrie> I've actually had problems with my usb drives as of currently.
[01:23] <hellows> if i want to open my allready mounted hard drive from the terminal whats the command? excuse me for repeating my self....
[01:23] <Ben64> Valkyrie: how did you install ubuntu
[01:23] <Valkyrie> I get an odd message from dmesg when I plug them in -- And, they don't reckonize.
[01:23] <Valkyrie> Ben64: Using a bootable flash drive
[01:23] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, just be careful, windows installs like to overwrite grub
[01:23] <Ben64> oh
[01:23] <Valkyrie> DaPenguin: Even XP?
[01:23] <Ben64> yep
[01:23] <garme> Guys... tnx for help.
[01:23] <DaPenguin> yup
[01:23] <Valkyrie> CAN you fix that?
[01:23] <p_res> hellows: Just cd command to /media/x
[01:23] <garme> Going now.
[01:23] <aeon-ltd> !themes | Teggeh
[01:23] <Ben64> Valkyrie: you'd need ubuntu cd to fix it : /
[01:24] <Valkyrie> Ben64: I have bootable flash drive, so.
[01:24] <garme> C ya. _o/
[01:24] <hellows> i want to open it in nautilus from my command line...
[01:24] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, yeah, you'll need a bootable install media of some type
[01:24] <Valkyrie> If that DOES happen, what would I do?
[01:24] <fabio333> with intel video card.. do you know how to fix this: [drm] MTRR allocation failed.  Graphics performance may suffer ... from dmesg
[01:24] <hellows> not in my terminal
[01:24] <lml> 中国话？？？？？？？？
[01:24] <p_res> hellows: Just open Nautilus and your drives should be in the left hand side pane.
[01:24] <hellows> god damn it....
[01:24] <aeon-ltd> !cn | lml
[01:24] <hellows> thanks...
[01:24] <hellows> see ya,,,
[01:24] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, there's a tutorial on the forums to fix grub for exactly that reason
[01:25] <p_res> hellows: Just click on your drive and it should mount automatically if it's not mounted already.
[01:25] <XATRIX> where can i get a list of all installed packages on the system ?
[01:25] <Valkyrie> Be right back, i'm going to boot into the install media
[01:25] <Pici> XATRIX: dpkg -l | grep "^ii"
[01:25] <XATRIX> thnk
[01:26] <Teggeh> Thanks aeon-ltd
[01:29] <leftist> is it possible to install lamp 10.10 into 10.10 desktop?
[01:30] <mtaylor> is this the right place to ask natty-related stuff?
[01:30] <p_res> leftist: Of course.
[01:30] <Pici> mtaylor: No, that would be #ubuntu+1
[01:30] <mtaylor> Pici: gah. yes of course. thanks
[01:30] <Pici> mtaylor: np
[01:30] <leftist> p_res ok thanks. i give up on getting the server install to boot. i give up. so iw wil just use the desktop and install the server on that.
[01:30] <leftist> thanks
[01:31] <hellows> found it
[01:31] <Valkyrie> I'm getting a weird error when plugging in my usb sticksd.
[01:31] <p_res> hellows: Great.
[01:31] <p_res> Valkyrie: Error?
[01:31] <hellows> you go to the media file
[01:32] <hellows> directory
[01:32] <Teggeh> Too many pretty themes to choose from.
[01:32] <_antant> evening peeeeeps
[01:32] <hellows> and type gnome-open the name of disk
[01:32] <p_res> hellows: That's what I told you all along.
[01:32] <hellows> nope...
[01:32] <Valkyrie> p_res: Here http://pastebin.com/1UvyjdXr
[01:32] <hellows> you didnt...
[01:32] <hellows> you just said me the way to browse my files in the terminal
[01:32] <p_res> hellows: Go back and have a look.
[01:33] <lml> binggo
[01:33] <hellows> i wanted to open my hard disk in nautilus
[01:33] <hellows> anyway
[01:33] <hellows> thanks for your replies
[01:33] <p_res> hellows: You must have missed my post.
[01:33] <hellows> if i did i am sorry...
[01:33] <abstrakt> how do I get gnome-terminal to properly use the gnome-256color terminfo entry for $TERM
[01:33] <hellows> goodbye to all
[01:33] <_antant> the world is a horrible place
[01:34] <p_res> _antant: Why?
[01:34] <_antant> it makes you drink and go WAY past your tube stop
[01:34] <p_res> Valkyrie: Can;t help you with that one mate.
[01:34] <p_res> Valkyrie: Sorry.
[01:34] <Valkyrie> =/
[01:34] <_antant> and then spend loads of money getting home
[01:34] <Valkyrie> Any ideas, guys?
[01:35] <_antant> when you didn't even really want to go out
[01:35] <p_res> Valkyrie: It's as though there a problem detecting the usb speed of 1.1 or 2.0.
[01:35] <_antant> I have an idea. VIVA LA REVELUCION!
[01:35] <Ioniz3D> Bad Idea
[01:35] <_antant> Or something like that
[01:35] <_antant> mayeb sleep
[01:36] <p_res> _antant: !flood
[01:36] <_antant> that might do as well as rewvolution
[01:36] <leftist> i am just upset and frustrated p_res, and my thinking is all screwed up. thanks.
[01:36] <Tsubasa> Hi, I need some help connecting my desktop to a wireless network. There's no wired connection at the moment, so I'm chatting from a laptop
[01:36] <_antant> #aha!
[01:36] <p_res> leftist: We all get that sometimes.
[01:36] <_antant> Maybe I'll bring pestilence and flood on the world
[01:36] <Valkyrie> I really need help with this, guys.
[01:37] <p_res> !flood
[01:37] <_antant> Or at least my little corner of it
[01:37] <Pici> _antant: #ubuntu-offtopic awaits
[01:38] <Tsubasa> can anyone help me out?
[01:39] <Valkyrie> hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
[01:39] <_antant> That it may do
[01:39] <Valkyrie> http://pastebin.com/1UvyjdXr <-- Need some help
[01:39] <Valkyrie> Does this with ALL usb sticks.
[01:40] <_antant> offtopic is all well and good
[01:40] <_antant> But there doesn't seem to be anyone there
[01:40] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, hub or directly into the machine?
[01:40] <Valkyrie> Directly
[01:41] <Valkyrie> @  DaPenguin
[01:41] <DaPenguin> hmm
[01:41] <jamiewan> Tsubasa, have you gat an icon in panel somewhere for connections
[01:42] <konninet> hi to all
[01:42] <jamiewan> if so right click it and make sure enable enable wireless and network are checked
[01:42] <Valkyrie> Hmm =/
[01:42] <_antant> this is a lot more active
[01:43] <_antant> And I'm bored
[01:43] <_antant> and drunk
[01:43] <ashishsenapati> hi, I'm not able to get sound output from headphone while laptop internal speakers are working fine. Any help??
[01:43] <_antant> delve in to alsa
[01:43] <ashishsenapati> tried
[01:43] <_antant> play around with it
[01:43] <sxj> hi
[01:43] <_antant> BOO!
[01:43] <Valkyrie> DaPenguin: It seems to be just that ONE USB stick
[01:44] <ashishsenapati> tried and failed and here I'm!
[01:45] <Valkyrie> Yea, that ONE flash drive seems to not show up at all
[01:45] <Valkyrie> What would cause that?
[01:45] <_antant> fail
[01:45] <jamiewan> ashishsenapati, sound preferences, output tab headphones???
[01:45] <ashishsenapati> jamiewan, not working
[01:45] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, it's just the one flash drive, others are working?
[01:45] <_antant> Don't worry. I just had to pay £20 to get home. You're not as much of a fail as me
[01:45] <rww> !ot
[01:45] <ashishsenapati> lol
[01:46] <Tsubasa> Yes I do have an icon, it shows disconnected for two wired and one wireless networks, all in grey, plus options for VPN connections and connecting to hidden wireless networks, or creating new wireless networks
[01:46] <Valkyrie> DaPenguin: Yea.
[01:46] <Tsubasa> there's no checkbox for enabling or disabling wireless though
[01:46] <Valkyrie> Just that ONE flashdrive isn't working.
[01:46] <Tsubasa> When I go to Network Tools though, the wlan0  says multicast is enabled
[01:46] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, probably a broken drive then
[01:46] <konninet> I have a question for those wo used ubuntu 10.04 and swiched to 10.10: Did you have regressions, new problems, something like that?
[01:46] <Valkyrie> DaPenguin: How does THAT happen?
[01:46] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, hardware goes bad sometimes.
[01:47] <jamiewan> Tsubasa, have you tried edit connections, the wireless set up
[01:47] <Valkyrie> Yea, but goes bad sitting around?
[01:47] <Tsubasa> How?
[01:48] <Tsubasa> Oh, I see... right click *thwap head*
[01:48] <Guest4965> My wireless card doesn't work because the eeprom is too old, I got it from newegg.com, its an engineering sample (rebadged). Any hope?
[01:48] <DaPenguin> Valkyrie, only thing i can think of
[01:48] <Tsubasa> Shouldn't the network just show up though?
[01:49] <jamiewan> Tsubasa, right click on the icon, edit connections then the wireless tab and follow the info, i presume you have a home wireless setup running yes?
[01:49] <ashishsenapati> alsa, anyone??
[01:49] <Valkyrie> =/ Mm.
[01:49] <Tsubasa> I set it up today.... only need it temporarily while we're painting the study, then we can go back to wired, but we DO need it
[01:50] <Valkyrie> usb is fucked up on my machine or something. usb-creator-gtk sees my usb stick at /dev/scd1
[01:50] <jamiewan> ashishsenapati, install gnome alsa mixer lots more controls to chek box there
[01:50] <Valkyrie> But, trying to mount it, say's special devide /dev/sdc1 does not exist.
[01:50] <sacarlson> Valkyrie: I had some counterfit usb flash drives that I tried to recover what they really had and broke them with some windows utility, now it won't register, just to prove you can break them with software
[01:50] <jamiewan> Tsubasa, your desktop has wirless on it, or a usb antenna or something then
[01:51] <Tsubasa> It had wireless built into the motherboard
[01:51] <achillion> evenin
[01:51] <jamiewan> Tsubasa, ok then you should be able to get it up with the previous step above then
[01:52] <Tsubasa> But isn't it supposed to detect the network I set up, as long as it's not hidden (which it's not)
[01:52] <RussellAlan> im having a jumpy mouse
[01:52] <RussellAlan> anyone?
[01:52] <ashishsenapati> @jamiewan: done it, no option seems to be able to change things
[01:53] <Tsubasa> Add new connection for the wireless has a mess of settings that I don
[01:53] <achillion> RussellAlan, touchpad or mouse?
[01:53] <Tsubasa> t know how to configure
[01:53] <_antant> white on rice
[01:54] <Tsubasa> RussellAlan if it's an optical mouse, check if there's any dust on the light.... that was always happening to mine
[01:54] <jamiewan> ashishsenapati, well just persist with it cause sometimes for me sound is an issue but always fiddle about a bit and it seems to come right, just trial and error in some instances
[01:56] <jamiewan> Tsubasa, Longer ethernet cable will fix it lol
[01:57] <Doonz> ewfoij
[01:57] <Doonz> what the frack my byobu just froze
[01:57] <Tsubasa> Aye, but it would be nice if I could get this working, seeing as I have the hardware
[01:59] <jamiewan> Tsubasa, just need to set it up mate, connect to new network then enter your details for ya wireless network and security stuff easy
[02:00] <RussellAlan> is there a way to recover a deleted partition in ubuntu?
[02:00] <Smull> is altanative cd good, then you only gonna do CLI?
[02:01] <abstrakt> why aren't my .Xdefaults for xterm being read/honored?
[02:01] <abstrakt> this is really weird
[02:01] <abstrakt> .Xdefaults seems to work fine for other stuff, why not xterm?
[02:01] <abstrakt> all I have is a really really simple entry right now, just two lines
[02:01] <abstrakt> xterm*foreground: #ffffff
[02:01] <abstrakt> xterm*background: #000000
[02:01] <jamiewan> RussellAlan, not sure but the program foremost is a great data recovery option, have seen it get stuff back thought gone forever
[02:01] <abstrakt> that's it, I've tried it as xterm.foreground and I've tried using xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
[02:02] <gamemakingdude> I am trying to get the package ms-sys but its not there anymore
[02:02] <abstrakt> but nothing changes, I still get a default white xterm
[02:02] <gamemakingdude> is it another package?
[02:02] <Smull> somebody?
[02:03] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  i think it is available here   http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/#Download
[02:03] <gamemakingdude> got it
[02:04] <gamemakingdude> Thanks
[02:04] <gamemakingdude> Cos i need to repair my brothers mbr
[02:04] <gamemakingdude> After i buggered it
[02:04] <Tsubasa> jamiewan how do I know if it can even see the wireless router?
[02:04] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  here is an explanation as to its removal from repository   https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ms-sys/+question/28349
[02:05] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  i would read that before installing just incase it causes issues
[02:05] <gamemakingdude> i dont have a windows 64 bit disk
[02:05] <gamemakingdude> Also what is make: msgfmt: Command not found
[02:06] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  got me on that one ,,I would have to compile to find out
[02:06] <gamemakingdude> D:
[02:06] <sn00pdigg> my terminal is having a hard time finding adb shell
[02:06] <sn00pdigg> bash won't recognize the command
[02:07] <sn00pdigg> tried adding it to basrc and it doesn't seem to work even after a source...
[02:07] <coz_> sn00pdigg,   maybe here   http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522827
[02:07] <Tsubasa> Okay, new question.... How can I tell whether my computer's wireless device is working/able to talk to the wireless router?
[02:08] <coz_> sn00pdigg,    google with this search string    ubuntu adb shell
[02:08] <gamemakingdude> msgfmt -o mo/sv.mo po/sv.po
[02:08] <gamemakingdude> Does that mean its compiled?
[02:08] <sparta> can i use the ubuntu cd to install ubuntu along with preloaded windows 7 safely or do i need some partition tool to first create the partitions/shrink window size?
[02:09] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  not sure hold on
[02:09] <gamemakingdude> yes its made
[02:09] <gamemakingdude> ake: Nothing to be done for `all'.
[02:09] <stercor> I'm converting a Windows computer to Ubuntu.  I can't seem to get the user's files archived.  Permission problem.  The user that I've logged on under is an administrator.
[02:10] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  when you extract that file  open a terminal and cd to its location
[02:10] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  then cd  ms-sys
[02:10] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  then type   make
[02:10] <gamemakingdude> Its made
[02:10] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  if that goes through without errors then type   sudo make install
[02:10] <gamemakingdude> ook
[02:10] <gamemakingdude> its made
[02:10] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  DO NOT get rid of that extracted intial folder
[02:11] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  if you have to uninstall it that source folder is going to be necessary
[02:11] <coz_> gamemakingdude,  you would cd back into ms-sys and then  sudo make uninstall
[02:11] <Tsubasa> How can I tell whether my computer's wireless device is working/able to talk to the wireless router?
[02:11] <gamemakingdude> ok
[02:12] <gamemakingdude> im gonna reboot
[02:12] <gamemakingdude> brb
[02:12] <sn00pdigg> i have tried that search coz_
[02:12] <coz_> tsimpson,  open firefox and  in the address bar  192.168.1.1
[02:12] <sn00pdigg> thank you
[02:12] <sn00pdigg> none of those options seem to work
[02:12] <coz_> tsimpson,  see what the settings are in the router
[02:12] <Polah> What is the speech-dispatcher process?
[02:12] <sn00pdigg> after sudo chmod +x adb  it returns to the previous line with no results
[02:12] <coz_> sn00pdigg,   darn ok then you might want to go to the ##linux channel to see if someone there may have more suggestions
[02:12] <Tsubasa> What settings specifically am I looking for?
[02:12] <coz_> sn00pdigg,  that was just to change permissions
[02:13] <sn00pdigg> i try to run adb and it still says command not recognized
[02:13] <sn00pdigg> i understand
[02:13] <coz_> sn00pdigg,  there would be no readout after that command
[02:13] <sn00pdigg> i understand
[02:13] <coz_> sn00pdigg,   ah ok...then again I suggest  ##linux channel
[02:13] <sn00pdigg> but after successful completion of that command i should be able to type adb and run the shell right?
[02:14] <coz_> sn00pdigg,   I believe so but not sure  ,, I would still google to find anything that talks about installing or accessing on ubuntu
[02:15] <sn00pdigg> here's a question
[02:15] <sn00pdigg> after typing which adb it won't return anything. should i get results?
[02:15] <coz_> sn00pdigg,   probably not if it didnt install
[02:15] <coz_> dont quote me on that
[02:15] <sn00pdigg> it's not installed... it's a package
[02:16] <sn00pdigg> tgz that contains an executable
[02:16] <sn00pdigg> unpacked and should be able to run from the folder... android sdk works and "installed" adb. can't run adb from terminal...
[02:18] <obscurant1st> if i use rootstock on my 64 machine, the outputting image will also be x64 or will it be 32 bit ? can someone please tell me?
[02:18] <coz_> sn00pdigg,  do you have an android device connected?
[02:18] <sn00pdigg> yes
[02:18] <sn00pdigg> adb devices returns
[02:18] <obscurant1st> by 64 i meant amd64
[02:18] <coz_> sn00pdigg,  then I am puzzled ,, honestly I have no experience with this at all
[02:18] <sn00pdigg> "no such command"
[02:18] <sn00pdigg> thanks for helping though. i appreciate it
[02:19] <coz_> sn00pdigg,  did you c heck in ##linux?
[02:19] <sn00pdigg> for some reason i can't type in there
[02:19] <sn00pdigg> lol
[02:19] <coz_> o0
[02:19] <coz_> sn00pdigg,  is you nick name registered?
[02:19] <sn00pdigg> nope. lol
[02:20] <coz_> sn00pdigg,  that's probably why
[02:20] <sn00pdigg> ah. i see
[02:20] <coz_> sn00pdigg,   register you nick and it should work
[02:20] <sn00pdigg> sucks
[02:20] <coz_> sn00pdigg,   where you type here type  /msg nicserv register help
[02:20] <sn00pdigg> i'll read up online before i register :D
[02:20] <coz_> sn00pdigg,  ok  good luck on this
[02:20] <sn00pdigg> thank you
[02:20] <obscurant1st> somebody?
[02:21] <coz_> guys I have to break here,, hopefully I will be back in a bit
[02:24] <sunnymolini> help pls, I've installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook in a VM, and lacked the drivers to start up Unity at the first start of the OS. Now I'm using the nromal GNome and I don't know how to make it go back to Unity, I've confirmed that Unity is installed, but I just don't know how to make it the UI.
[02:26] <ledbettj> sunnymolini: pretty sure Unity requires 3d acceleration, which you might not be able to get in a VM.  Otherwise you should be able to choose it from the 'session' selector at the bottom of the GDM login screen.
[02:27] <sunnymolini> So, if it's possible, all  I have to do is turn off autologin, and I'll be able to select it?
[02:28] <DOOX> i have a question
[02:28] <ledbettj> sunnymolini: yup, I think so.
[02:28] <sunnymolini> That's awesome, thanks ledbettj.
[02:28] <ledbettj> sunnymolini: once you select it once, it should ask you if you want to make it your default session
[02:29] <ledbettj> sunnymolini: then you could turn autologin back on.
[02:29] <DOOX> how can i know that if my ubuntu 32-bit OS is secure from hacking?
[02:30] <sunnymolini> D00x, If you're looking for metaphysical certitude, then the answer is you can't.
[02:31] <DOOX> sunnymolini , i dont understand you
[02:31] <sunnymolini> basically, no system can be made that can be absolutely hack proof.
[02:32] <sunnymolini> everything has a weakness somewhere, and even if you make your data 100% inaccessible from even yourself, that doesn't mean somebody else can't get to it.
[02:32] <robdig> DOOX: a lot of it is common sense. don't use the autologin feature. disable any services that you don't need (telnet, ftp, etc)
[02:32] <DOOX> sunnymolini , you are right , but what can i do to ensure that my system if 90 percent secure
[02:32] <robdig> DOOX: enforce strict passwords with aging
[02:33] <RussellAlan> how do i install the java jdk?
[02:33] <RussellAlan> its .bin
[02:33] <RussellAlan> what do i do.
[02:33] <giiker> hi everyone, let's say i create a script to be run @ atartup using the add Startup Apps menu, my file has the 644 binary permissions set, should i set it to executable only for me or hte root too?
[02:35] <robdig> RussellAlan: you don't want to use the ones in the repositories?
[02:35] <itaylor57> RussellAlan: open and sun jdk's are availabel in the repos
[02:37] <RussellAlan> gotcha
[02:37] <robertzaccour> is there a good program for capturing video from a usb device?
[02:40] <G00053> it's Alive! built a new rig today(i7). and everything is working (the wireless card needed some convincing). So are there any important things I should do now before taking it out on the highway ?
[02:40] <G00053>  
[02:40] <robertzaccour> mine came with an i3
[02:42] <robertzaccour> is there a good program for capturing video from a usb device?
[02:43] <gamemakingdude> ok
[02:43] <gamemakingdude> I'm back on windows after fixing the mbr using mic-sys :D
[02:44] <endafy> ok how come Sun Java JRE is untrusted?
[02:44] <Terminus_> i have a quick question: how would i see who's connected to my LAN?
[02:44] <Terminus_> i'm hoping i don't have to nmap myself
[02:45] <endafy> type in 192.168.1.1 in your address bar and look at the IP list
[02:45] <Terminus_> that would give me my router
[02:45] <endafy> indeed
[02:45] <Terminus_> i'm talking about a lan network
[02:45] <endafy> which is your network
[02:45] <Terminus_> and i was hoping over bash
[02:45] <endafy> dude
[02:45] <Terminus_> the lan isn't connected via router
[02:45] <endafy> seriously?
[02:45] <RussellAlan> does ark run in gnome?
[02:45] <Terminus_> yes, it is a hub
[02:46] <Ben64> nmap could find out who is responding to pings, but people could block it
[02:46] <endafy> every IP through the hub will be given out by the router
[02:46] <endafy> now if it were a switch it would be different
[02:46] <endafy> but the router simply controls the hub
[02:46] <Terminus_> there should be a more efficient way to see who is connected via the hub
[02:46] <jlonganecker> is there a command I can run from the command line that changes my volume?
[02:46] <endafy> this is fast and effeciant
[02:46] <Ben64> endafy: its a switch on a router btw
[02:46] <endafy> how much simpler do you want it
[02:47] <Ben64> Terminus_: just install nmap, you can find everyone that responds to ping
[02:47] <endafy> your router contains all ROUTING information
[02:47] <Terminus_> jlonganecker alsa?
[02:47] <Terminus_> endafy i'd have to log into it
[02:47] <endafy> everything on your network routed to the internet via the OS on the router whether you have extra ports added by a switch/hub/ring
[02:47] <Ben64> Terminus_: try my suggestion :|
[02:48] <endafy> yes you do
[02:48] <endafy> log in and look not that hard
[02:48] <Terminus_> Ben64 will do; hopefully no one has discovered that they can drop pings
[02:48] <endafy> its protected information
[02:48] <jlonganecker> Terminus_ ok I will check that out thanks
[02:48] <Terminus_> no problem
[02:48] <Ben64> Terminus_: if people don't want to be found, they won't be.
[02:48] <endafy> would you want your routing table to be public information if you have an open wifi to be nice to people?
[02:49] <endafy> it would pose a huge security risk
[02:49] <Terminus_> endafy this is a remote network
[02:49] <endafy> sounds like you are leeching off of someone
[02:49] <Terminus_> you are the expert
[02:50] <endafy> I just know people
[02:50] <endafy> seriously why is Sun Java JRE untrusted?
[02:50] <Ben64> it's not open source?
[02:50] <endafy> Ubuntu refuses to let me install it
[02:50] <endafy> flash is css
[02:50] <endafy> it installs fine
[02:50] <robdig> endafy: you're probably missing a repository key
[02:51] <endafy> yeah thats user friendly NOT
[02:51] <soreau> endafy: Try installing the package from the cli?
[02:51] <endafy> wtf is a repository key
[02:51] <minimec> endafy: I think there is an ubuntu version in the partner' repository.
[02:51] <endafy> sounds like something I shove up my bum when I am sick, man what naming
[02:52] <IdleOne> !language | endafy
[02:52] <IdleOne> !java | endafy
[02:52] <endafy> I am watching my language I am angry because I have had several issues with Ubuntu
[02:53] <endafy> simple little things that are things users expect to do are blocked from me
[02:53] <endafy> things that used to be easy
[02:53] <edbian> endafy, If you don't like ubuntu (or linux) then don't use it)
[02:53] <soreau> endafy: Try reading the links ubottu gave
[02:53] <IdleOne> endafy: stop your whining and read what ubottu told you
[02:53] <endafy> need java, simply open the software thing look for it and click install
[02:53] <Ben64> openjdk works fine btw
[02:53] <A|i3N> Hey guys - I aquired about a 10 year old PC today. P3, 833mhz, 512meg and ......... 2 SCSI hard drives. Installation locked up at 98%. Booted offa the live cd, went into preview mode, installed again; went fine. System never successfully boots into the desktop - either locks up immediately after o/s selection or gets to where i can see the background and locks up there. Any ideas? Does Ubuntu have issues with SCSI?
[02:53] <endafy> why do I need to open a terminal for something that used to be all gui?
[02:53] <endafy> 1 step this page is saying like 8
[02:55] <edbian> A|i3N, Can you boot Ubuntu recovery mode?  (is there failing hardware?)
[02:55] <endafy> I used to be able to pop a DVD in and click search and it would just play and now its broken, Java used to be available in synaptic but now its gone, really this is what I call backwards
[02:55] <arbitrary> I need GParted to ignore a corrupt superblock.
[02:55] <A|i3N> (oh and by the way before anyone says it, all fans are running normally lol. I used to fix this stuff. I'm thinking maybe memory issues but the O/S that was *ON* here was SUSE enterprise and it booted fine but came up to the menu that belonged to the restaurant that owned it)
[02:55] <Ben64> endafy: read the link ubottu posted about java
[02:55] <A|i3N> actually no I haven't tried that
[02:56] <soreau> arbitrary: sounds like what you need is a new hdd
[02:56] <endafy> I did and I am not going to open the command prompt
[02:56] <arbitrary> soreau: I am WELL aware of this fact.
[02:56] <Ben64> "For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, the sun-java6 packages have been dropped from the Multiverse section of the Ubuntu archive. It is recommended that you use openjdk-6 instead."
[02:56] <endafy> I shouldnt have to for something that USED to be easy
[02:56] <Ben64> "It is recommended that you use openjdk-6 instead."
[02:56] <nickmoeck> endafy: then add the partner repo in Synaptic
[02:56] <A|i3N> So, edbian, if I can get it to boot in recovery mode.. will there be a log file or something telling me what's wrong?
[02:56] <endafy> openjdk doesnt work with everything
[02:56] <Ben64> then read a little bit more and install sun
[02:56] <Ben64> it's really not difficult
[02:56] <edbian> A|i3N, yes, you can use dmesg for example  It's a good command for general issues.
[02:56] <IdleOne> endafy: then open Software sources, enable the partner repository and then search and install java from the package manager of your choice.
[02:56] <endafy> nickmoeck, yeah not happening idk how
[02:57] <arbitrary> The exact issue is I have a mostly complete copy of a dying hard disk, but I ran out of space in the destination partition, and GParted won't let me add more space because the filesystem is (obviously) corrupt, but fscking the filesystem will force a restart on recovering the data and the hard disk probably won't survive a second run through.
[02:57] <nickmoeck> endafy: so, instead of actually trying to figure it out, you're going to come here and complain?
[02:57] <A|i3N> yea I'm really new at this linux thing edbian lol. Using it/installing software and stuff is one thing but troubleshooting this early is challenging lol. If I can get it to boot, I'll hop back on here from the computer after i get xchat on it
[02:58] <nickmoeck> You've obviously done it before, if you installed Sun Java in previous Ubuntu releases
[02:58] <edbian> A|i3N, dmesg is just a command.  Run it in the terminal.  Look for errors (espcially near the end).  The last 1/2 is the only 1/2 you need to read probably.
[02:58] <endafy> why does shit have to be difficult <- that right there is cussing and I am getting extremely pissed off at my desktop all of a sudden locking me out of shit I used to be able to accomplish with great ease and yes fix it or lose users, human beings dont give a rat's ass about shit like this, linux for humans indeed PUH, I should have bought a windows instead I bought a system 7 and now I am heavily regretting it
[02:58] <edbian> A|i3N, Do you know how to get to recovery mode?
[02:59] <A|i3N> Oh - one more thing - using a CDMA connection through metroPCS - anyone know how to maybe speed it up a little bit? I want to check to make sure compression is turned on but not sure where to look. Helped in windows.
[02:59] <edbian> Can someone please kick him?
[02:59] <A|i3N> edbian - isn't it on the initial boot menu?
[02:59] <arbitrary> Nobody?
[02:59] <thiebaude> is there a CLI command to log out of gnome ?
[02:59] <rww> IdleOne: fail.
[03:00] <IdleOne> rww:  indeed
[03:00] <IdleOne> one missing space did that
[03:00] <aeon-ltd> thiebaude: not sure, but killing X would knock you out of gnome
[03:00] <t4s> Hi. When trying to install Ubuntu Server 10.04 (and 9.10) on my laptop, all I get is black screen. Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 works fine. The problem might be the graphics card (Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)), but I haven't found any solutions dealing with this problem at install time. If this is the problem, is there a workaround? Thanks
[03:00] <thiebaude> trying to get back to a graphical log in
[03:01] <daweefolk> i'm having problems with mpc
[03:01] <edbian> t4s, Are you getting a black screen when booting the live CD?
[03:01] <t4s> USB, but yeah
[03:01] <nickmoeck> t4s: you're trying to install -server from a USB drive?
[03:02] <t4s> yes
[03:02] <daweefolk> "MPD_HOST and/or MPD_PORT environment variables are not set. error: problems connecting to 'localhost' on port 6600: connection refused"
[03:02] <thiebaude> how can i get my panel back, is there a CLI command i can use?
[03:02] <thiebaude> top panel
[03:02] <edbian> thiebaude, gnome-panel&
[03:02] <bazhang> !resetpanel | thiebaude
[03:02] <edbian> thiebaude, It's probably just easier to restart the machine
[03:02] <thiebaude> thanks guys i'll try that :)
[03:02] <edbian> thiebaude, or log / log out at least
[03:03] <chasr> try killall gnome-panel
[03:03] <nickmoeck> t4s: did you follow the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller
[03:03] <A|i3N> edbian - if I get into recovery mode... it's not gonna be graphical is it lol
[03:03] <edbian> A|i3N, nope!
[03:04] <A|i3N> darn. Any way to launch the GUI from there edbian?
[03:04] <A|i3N> I just really don't know enough to do any good in there.
[03:04] <thiebaude> cool that works now i set my login not to automatic, appreciate it very much community :)
[03:04] <edbian> A|i3N, yep, it gives you choices.  One is to drop to a root shell, that's cli.  If you go that route you can start graphics by doing this: sudo gdm.  However you are also given the choice to boot normally.  It's a little menu
[03:04] <tanki> which one is better ubuntu or fedora?
[03:04] <thiebaude> btw im testing 11.04
[03:04] <thiebaude> :)
[03:05] <edbian> A|i3N, It will be hard if you have to go back and forth between the machine and IRC
[03:05] <nickmoeck> tanki: Well, considering that this is #ubuntu.... you're probably going to get "ubuntu" as a response from most people here
[03:05] <t4s> nickmoeck: No, I used unetbootin from my win7 laptop. I will try the guide. Thank you.
[03:05] <tanki> nickmoeck u mean i cant ask comparison questions here?
[03:05] <A|i3N> ooh ok cool, thank you. :) Yea I've only got one monitor and I use cell for an internet connection so I gotta d/c this computer and hook the other one back up. I'm pretty much just checking it out to make sure it's functional.
[03:05] <soreau> ! best | tanki: Also
[03:05] <nickmoeck> t4s: Yeah, use the guide.  unetbootin does not work for server installs
[03:06] <gerdidy> Im looking for a battery monitor to replace gnome's, that must have a tray icon.  ive tried batmon, battmon, any others to check out?
[03:06] <mrdeb> you can use a combination of usb creator and unetbootin
[03:06] <t4s> nickmoeck: didn't know, but glad I've learned. Thank you. :)
[03:06] <tanki> nickmoeck: u mean i cant ask comparision questions?
[03:06] <jared__> Has anyone ever had problems with their sound applets disappearing in Ubuntu?
[03:06] <A|i3N> Welp I'll be back, hopefully from the other computer.
[03:06] <edbian> tanki, You can.  You'll just get biased answered
[03:07] <tanki> edbian ok
[03:07] <mcurran> anyone wanna help me setup a routing bridge properly between two interfaces and then share the connection?  I'm trying to setup a single master/node cluster with two intrepid machines and mpich, but I need to get this sorted first.  I'm using wlan0 as my master's connection and want to bridge eth0 to that, and then connect the second computer (node) directly into the eth0 <> eth0
[03:07] <tanki> edbian i am looking for easy one
[03:07] <jitit> hey - i doubt this is ubuntu related, but my internet is going down while torrenting. anyone have any ideas?
[03:07] <edbian> tanki, Ubuntu is easy as far as Linux goes
[03:07] <tanki> edbian u know easy to install and easy to use
[03:07] <mcurran> doubt it's related, they'd either be blocked (torrent ports) or not.
[03:07] <tanki> especially install
[03:08] <tanki> i dont want it to corrupt my windows
[03:08] <trism> jitit: try limiting your upload
[03:08] <robertzaccour> is there a good program for capturing video from a usb device?
[03:08] <edbian> tanki, It will not if you install correctly
[03:08] <tanki> edbian: so ubuntu
[03:08] <mcurran> yeah install the grub to the linux partition and then set it active instead of overwriting your mb
[03:08] <mcurran> r
[03:08] <tanki> thanks
[03:08] <tanki> i will try ubuntu
[03:09] <edbian> mcurran, That is not right.  Grub must overwrite the MBR in order to use it to choose which OS to boot.
[03:09] <edbian> tanki, have fun
[03:09] <jitit> trism: ive limited my upload/download speeds, AND kept my # of connected users down and it still drops. also, when i plug in an additional wireless NIC the internet begins to work again.
[03:09] <mcurran> your wrong edbian
[03:09] <tanki> edbian: oh then it is not safe
[03:09] <mcurran> you don't have to overwrite mbr at all
[03:09] <edbian> tanki, Ubuntu is safe.
[03:09] <minimec> robertzaccour: USB device? Webcam?
[03:09] <robertzaccour> minimec, dazzle
[03:10] <tanki> edbian, if it overwrites mbr? then that will corrupt my other partitions
[03:10] <edbian> mcurran, the MBR currently has the windows bootloader in it.  The windows bootloader only boots windows.  If you install linux you must write in the HDDs mbr to boot it.
[03:10] <edbian> tanki, No it will not.
[03:10] <edbian> MBR = Master Boot Record
[03:10] <mcurran> no your wrong you can chainload
[03:10] <soreau> tanki: Installing a different boot loader wont corrupt your partitions
[03:10] <trism> jitit: that was my only idea, sorry
[03:10] <mcurran> yeah, if you set the linux partition active, it'll read the grub as it's own bootloader. go read up on partitioning
[03:11] <tanki> edbian i use another loader
[03:11] <edbian> The bootloader is actually to big to fit int he MBR.  If you chainload then you tell Grub (in the MBR) to run the windows bootloader on the window partition.
[03:11] <tanki> acronis boot loader
[03:11] <soreau> tanki: Which one?
[03:11] <tanki> soreau: acronis boot loader
[03:11] <gerdidy> tanki: dual booting windows with another os can be dangerous.  you first shrink your windiws partition, then install ubuntu, and then either replace grub the bootloader with windiws' one, or keep it
[03:11] <edbian> The windows boot loader cannot be used to dual boot.
[03:11] <mcurran> your fuckin' wrong dude I'm doing it right now, always have, I know what i'm talking about
[03:11] <bazhang> mcurran, no cursing
[03:11] <mcurran> and yes you can use the mbr to boot linux
[03:12] <edbian> mcurran, You use grub in the MBR to boot linux.  You cannot use the windows bootloader in the MBR to boot linux.
[03:12] <daweefolk> what are some good command line music players? I have moc and mpd so far. I prefer mpd but it's recently brought up problems "connecting" to localhost.
[03:12] <mcurran> you just copy the grub bootloader to an image and store it on C: and then have mbr load it
[03:12] <minimec> robertzaccour: vlc is probably your friend. --> see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biQ8FXxoXN8
[03:12] <soreau> tanki: Well ubuntu installs grub and auto-detects other OS's and adds entries for them. Any other boot loader is beyond the scope of this channel, so you'd have to configure that to boot ubuntu if it supports it
[03:12] <gerdidy> edbian: the windows bootloader can be used to boot linux.
[03:12] <edbian> mcurran, The MBR does not load things.  a boot loader in the MBR loads things.
[03:12] <tanki> edbian: or what if i use this install ubuntu then Acronis? do u have any idea on this
[03:12] <edbian> gerdidy, what?!
[03:12] <mcurran> ntldr whatever
[03:12] <bazhang> mcurran, thats enough
[03:12] <mcurran> you still don't know enough, go back to your windows cloud
[03:12] <edbian> tanki, Never heard of acronis
[03:13] <tanki> edbian: u have to try it is great
[03:13] <robertzaccour> minimec, ok thanks
[03:13] <edbian> tanki, I'll look it up sometime
[03:13] <tanki> edbian: i use it for msdos and windows
[03:13] <edbian> gerdidy, Link?
[03:13] <mcurran> well I get a little aggravated when people argue and submit false information
[03:13] <bazhang> mcurran, move on please
[03:13] <gerdidy> edbian: i wont be googling today im afraid.
[03:14] <citizen> hello
[03:16] <daweefolk> is there any plugin that will run pcsx in ascii art?
[03:16] <Semitones> can anyone with a fresh install of ubuntu go to "appearances" and tell me what the defaults are?
[03:16] <edbian> Is it true that you can boot linux using the windows boot loader?
[03:16] <bazhang> daweefolk, no
[03:16] <cryptodira> hi folks, i have a minor but annoying problem: the network connection icon in the top panel is all the way on the right side....how can i get back to the default position?  it does NOT have a move option like the other icons.
[03:16] <Semitones> (I messed mine up some time ago and I just want to get to the defaults)
[03:16] <daweefolk> ok
[03:16] <bazhang> edbian, does not matter we support grub and grub2 here
[03:17] <mcurran> yeah, you can have the windows boot loader chainload ubuntu
[03:17] <mcurran> I've done it
[03:17] <bazhang> mcurran, you've been asked to move on. please do so
[03:17] <mcurran> google it, using "dd" and copying the boot loader to C: and then adding an entry to boot.ini
[03:17] <edbian> mcurran, I just found a blog describing it.  I'm sorry I argued with you before.  You're right.
[03:18] <gerdidy> edbian: grub can be installed to more places than just the mbr
[03:18] <edbian> gerdidy, Yes I know that.  (it must be because it does not fit into the mbr)
[03:18] <jamiewan> cryptodira, to the right of it somewhere is a small bar or strip, thats what u have to move
[03:18] <mcurran> no problem
[03:18] <soreau> cryptodira: Can you unlock it then move it?
[03:18] <edbian> I was just surprised that you could point the windows boot loader at anything but windows.
[03:18] <jamiewan> cryptodira, to the left sorry
[03:20] <cryptodira> jamiewan, got it .... my choice of appearances made that little bar nearly invisible.. Thank YOU.
[03:20] <mcurran> if your using vista, there are gui's people created that simplify the process called easybcd
[03:20] <cryptodira> soreau, got it with jamiewan's suggestion.  Thanks.
[03:20] <jamiewan> cryptodira, no worries
[03:22] <cryptodira> has anyone been able to make the backlit keyboard work beyond POST.... 10.04.2 amd/64 toshiba satellite laptop  ??
[03:24] <equivocate> hey
[03:25] <edbian> equivocate, hello
[03:25] <equivocate> i really need some help figuring out how to use netatalk
[03:25] <equivocate> im trying to connect to my mac and ive tried forums but nothing seems to work
[03:25] <equivocate> was wondering if anyone here can help me
[03:26] <arbitrary> I need some way to create a larger partition for this data. . .
[03:27] <gerdidy> arbitrary: why cant you create a larger partition?
[03:27] <Polah> arbitary: You can expand partitions (into free space) with GParted
[03:28] <arbitrary> I have a partition being filled with data recovered from a dying hard disk, and I need to increase the size of the partition to finish recovering the data, but I can't increase the size as GParted won't assign any more space to it due to the bad superblock (caused by the recovered data). I can't fix the superblock without jeopardizing the integrity of the remaining recovered data.
[03:28] <equivocate> can anyone help me with netatalk?
[03:29] <mcurran> have you tried using fdisk's advanced options for repairing
[03:29] <mcurran> is gparted showing it as black
[03:29] <terry> arbitrary: How could the recovered data cause a bad superblock?
[03:30] <arbitrary> terry: It was a bad superblock due to read errors on the drive, which since the read errors translate over to the new partition, it reads as a bad suerblock.
[03:30] <mcurran> try force mounting the partition with ntfs3g if it's an ntfs partition, sometimes it stops it from complaining
[03:30] <StrangeCharm> whenever i hit meta+a my windows spread out over my screen like a mac's expose feature. i can't find that shortcut anywhere in the keyboard shortcuts tool. how can i make that stop?
[03:31] <terry> arbitrary: I don't think so.
[03:31] <arbitrary> mcurran: It's not a matter of mounting it. I just want to increase the size of the (ext4) partition.
[03:31] <mcurran> I know, sometimes it helps with gparted though, but only with ntfs
[03:31] <edbian> StrangeCharm, sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager   you can change it in there
[03:31] <terry> arbitrary: I think you just need a bigger drive
[03:32] <arbitrary> terry: Err. Yeah. That's kind-of the issue. I have another 800gb on the drive that it can't access.
[03:32] <mcurran> try fdisk other than that, i don't know.
[03:32] <naryfa> good evening
[03:32] <StrangeCharm> edbian, it's installed, where is that setting?
[03:32] <terry> arbitrary: Why can't you access the 800G drive?
[03:32] <equivocate> can anyone please help me with netatalk?
[03:32] <arbitrary> Okay, bad choice of words.
[03:32] <edbian> StrangeCharm, go to System -> Preferences -> ccsm   the plugin is called scale I believe
[03:33] <Tohuw> !anyone | equivocate
[03:33] <ubuntu_> hola a todos!! por casualidad alguien sabe espanol?
[03:33] <arbitrary> terry: I have two partitions on the recovery drive. One partition (800gb) is devoted to nothing in particular. Just storage. The other partition (200gb) is devoted to storing the filesystem recovered from a dying hard disk.
[03:33] <Tohuw> !es | ubuntu_
[03:34] <arbitrary> I need to assign some of the data to partition 2 because the actual size of the recovered data is about 252GB
[03:34] <StrangeCharm> edbian, thanks so much, that was bugging me a lot
[03:34] <ubuntu_> gracias
[03:34] <terry> So why not use the 800G partition?  Delete everything on it and use it.
[03:34] <edbian> StrangeCharm, no problem
[03:34] <equivocate> !details
[03:34] <mcurran> anyone know how I can bridge wlan0 (connected) to eth0 and then share eth0 by directly connecting it to another workstation's eth0
[03:34] <mcurran> I'm trying to setup a small beowulf cluster, but need to solve this first
[03:34] <arbitrary> terry: I really don't want to do that, because I want the larger partition to be able to extract data from the recovery partition. It might be possible to store an image of the one partition on the other one, clean the small partition, add more data, write the image, then continue?
[03:35] <A|i3N> edbian: Welp no such luck on that endeavor. Still locking up at some point. I know that linux will check my memory - anybody know of a free utility I can make a boot cd with that'll check the hard drives and processor and find out what's ailing the computer in question??
[03:35] <the67pc> eae galera
[03:35] <the67pc> Como vão?
[03:35] <terry> !firestarter | mcurran
[03:35] <edbian> A|i3N, Were you able to get the grub menu to show up at all?
[03:35] <the67pc> !snort | the67pc
[03:36] <equivocate> I have a problem with getting netatalk to work with my mac. I have tried to follow certain walkthroughs but they are dated and ive read there are problems with lucid. I don't understand some of the fixes ive read on websites.
[03:36] <A|i3N> edbian - once out of three boots. Each time it would lock up after all the text stuff flew by the screen. I went to fail safe graphical. Locked up when it started to load.
[03:36] <the67pc> !snort | the67pc
[03:36] <terry> mcurran: Or you can just grab a firewall script and customize it to your needs.
[03:36] <edbian> A|i3N, Get a live Cd.  Use the memory checker on that.  Then check the hDDs
[03:37] <edbian> A|i3N, Be aware that if you don't get errors within the first minute of ram checking you probably won't get errors at all.
[03:37] <A|i3N> edbian - ok. I've got the memory check in the boot menu. I actually did run it for about 5 minutes earlier and no errors.
[03:37] <A|i3N> So how do I check the hard drives with linux?
[03:37] <dave_cave10-10> evening ubuntu
[03:37] <edbian> A|i3N, boot a live Cd.  use gparted.  it has a check utility
[03:38] <edbian> A|i3N, It's only useful for checking extX partitions though
[03:38] <mcurran> fdisk
[03:38] <mcurran> m
[03:38] <edbian> or fdisk at command line
[03:38] <equivocate> would it be possible to have someone go through something on a forum with me so i can do it myself in console?
[03:38] <dave_cave10-10> anyone know of a application similar to synergy that lets u use 1 keyboard and mouse and move to any desktop on any computer just by moving mouse the end of monitor view?
[03:39] <edbian> dave_cave10-10, Why not use synergy?
[03:39] <dave_cave10-10> edbian: is it linux supported?
[03:39] <A|i3N> edbian - I'm using 10.04, gparted isn't included with this release. I had to add it on my previous wubi install before i installed to hard drive.
[03:39] <edbian> dave_cave10-10, yeah
[03:39] <mcurran> you can move to virtual desktops, but you'd have to setup remote solutions for other machines
[03:39] <edbian> A|i3N, it's on the live CD
[03:39] <A|i3N> ooooh ok but not included in the install... lol
[03:39] <edbian> A|i3N, yeah
[03:40] <dave_cave10-10> edbian: what about "input director"?
[03:40] <terry> mcurran: Something like this:  http://pastebin.com/vqS6qtpY
[03:40] <A|i3N> edbian: yea... hmmm.. the live cd *Does* boot up if that tells us anything.
[03:40] <edbian> dave_cave10-10, never heard of it
[03:40] <niddlex> Hello I have a problem, I check in the properties of one panel the choise hide panel, and Now cant show it :S:S
[03:40] <edbian> A|i3N, It's a good but confusing sign.
[03:40] <mcurran> yeah you can use the mouse wheel or any other key you assign for compiz' rotate cube or other workstation/desktop plugins
[03:40] <A|i3N> that's why I asked originally if ubuntu has an issue with SCSI drives.
[03:40] <naryfa> uhmmm, the grub's config file isn't located in /boot/grub??? where is it?
[03:40]  * equivocate needs a wizz at ubuntu as im desperate for some walkthrough help!
[03:41] <edbian> A|i3N, If it did the live CD AND the full install wouldn't work equally
[03:41] <dave_cave10-10> edbian: its same thing as synergy but doesnt messup games, if u play a game with synergy on, and u click the mouse the game screen starts turning super fast and crazy
[03:41] <mcurran> the new grub is /boot/grub/grub/grub.cfg isn't it?  I grub2 doesn't use menu.lst
[03:41] <A|i3N> edbian: yea - the install was successful once i booted live, but failed the first time just trying to install it.
[03:41] <naryfa> mcurran: yeah, you're correct
[03:42] <edbian> A|i3N, strange.  Check the hdds is my only guess
[03:42] <aliciapg> could someone help me? my computer shutdown because it overheated and now it only goes to the ubuntu boot screen and stops there
[03:42] <dave_cave10-10> A|i3n: ive found that booting from a USB drive works where booting from a DVD didnt
[03:42] <A|i3N> edbian: wonder if i should move the scsi controller and hard drives to this computer and try to boot it lol that would eliminate any other hardware issues lol
[03:43] <edbian> aliciapg, It's probably still overheating.  Are the fans spinning?
[03:43] <edbian> A|i3N, sure.  Good idea
[03:43] <aliciapg> edbian: no i let it cool down
[03:44] <aliciapg> edbian: it usually skips the screen to select what kernal but now it isn't
[03:44] <A|i3N> edbian, if I end up doing that as a last resort, linux doesn't freak out on hardware changes like windows does right?
[03:44] <edbian> aliciapg, does it freeze?
[03:44] <edbian> A|i3N, correct
[03:44] <aniessh> join #limesurvey
[03:44] <razz1> Ubuntu 10.4 install with home on separate partition, can I just blow away the install partition and reinstall, I dont want to go through backing up all of the home folder, nouveau keeps crashing, cannot install nvidia drivers, I am thinking it's just quicker to reinstall than to trouble shoot. I haven't done this before.
[03:44] <equivocate> ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1534378 <--- can someone help me with this please?
[03:44] <A|i3N> ok. I'd be going from 10 year old technology to something in the last couple years lol
[03:45] <aliciapg> edbian: i select a kernal, it does that boot screen where you just see the ubuntu logo, then goes black with the backlight on
[03:45] <equivocate> i have the same problem but I don't undestand how to fix
[03:45] <edbian> razz1, yes.
[03:45] <A|i3N> ok well off to drive a live boot and run gparted. Thanks again edbian :)
[03:45] <naryfa> edbian: how do you keep up lol
[03:45] <edbian> aliciapg, What about other kernels?
[03:45] <A|i3N> er try
[03:45] <edbian> A|i3N, good luck
[03:45] <aliciapg> edbian: i've tried two so far...should i try others?
[03:45] <edbian> naryfa, I read quickly :)
[03:45] <edbian> aliciapg, Recovery mode?
[03:45] <captain-obvious> how do i get ubuntu to not block the download of .msi files?
[03:46] <Medjai> any of you guys experience your wifi adapter being locked to a certain channel in monitor mode on kernel 2.6.35?
[03:46] <aliciapg> edbian: okay i'll try that too
[03:46] <Medjai> mine will say  mon0 fixed on channel -1
[03:46] <bazhang> captain-obvious, why would you need them
[03:46] <captain-obvious> to install steam
[03:46] <captain-obvious> steam uses .msi not .exe
[03:46] <dave_cave10-10> u need wine
[03:46] <captain-obvious> i have wine
[03:47] <captain-obvious> i can't download .msi files at all
[03:47] <A|i3N> hope i can get this working though - this looks like some highly specialized server-type computer. Got a motherboard, a daughterboard with pci risers, a power plug for the hard drives only, a quick disco power supply.. lol it's pretty neat.
[03:47] <captain-obvious> it says that they are blocked
[03:47] <Valkyrie> Alright. I installed windows -- But, I have a couple issues
[03:47] <equivocate> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1534378 <--- can someone help me with this please? I don't understant the fix
[03:47] <aliciapg> edbian: well now what :/ it worked but i don't know what to do with the shell
[03:47] <Tohuw> captain-obvious: What says they're blocked?
[03:47] <captain-obvious> ubuntu
[03:47] <bazhang> Valkyrie, related to ubuntu?
[03:47] <edbian> aliciapg, sudo gdm
[03:47] <Valkyrie> It can't boot grub -- Figured as much, and I can't re-activate the partitions because obviously Windows can't rechonize the format
[03:47] <Tohuw> captain-obvious: Ubuntu is an operating system. What program informed you of it being blocked? Firefox? wget? ftp?
[03:47] <Valkyrie> Which, again, I figured.
[03:48] <captain-obvious> the file"steaminstall.msi" is not marked as an executable. if this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run"
[03:48] <Valkyrie> So, how would I go about fixing this?
[03:48] <aliciapg> edbian: i don't think it's a normal shell...
[03:48] <captain-obvious> that's what it says when i try to run a .msi file
[03:48] <HoboCannibaL> can anyone tell me why the asus g73sw laptop keyboard functions aren't supported or possibly how i can get them to work properly?
[03:48] <redent> captain-obvious: which browser are you using?
[03:48] <Valkyrie> captain-obvious: right click - properties - execution, mark as executable
[03:48] <captain-obvious> wow, tyvm
[03:48] <Tohuw> captain-obvious: It tells you the problem right in the error. It's not executable. do what Valkyrie said.
[03:48] <mcurran> haven't used netatalk but the solution is changing the configuration and then restarting the daemon
[03:48] <edbian> captain-obvious, It was downloaded.  it won't let you run it until you change permissions. (this is easy)
[03:48] <captain-obvious> i got it, thanks everyone who tried to help :D
[03:49] <equivocate> why won't anyone help me! im getting desperate :(
[03:49] <Valkyrie> Okay, but. How do I get grub back?
[03:49] <Valkyrie> =/
[03:49] <razz1> edbian: ok so I just install "/" and ignore home? whats the process and what is the best way to get the program settings back to the way they are. Like firefox (I have close to 7 profiles), Zimbra (its installed in the home folder), What issues will I come across? I have a back up of the "/" partition and home as well. Should I first uninstall Zimbra?
[03:49] <aliciapg> edbian: it has "(initramfs)" as the prompt
[03:49] <edbian> equivocate, We just don't know how.
[03:50] <edbian> aliciapg, That's not a full boot.  Did you get any errors?  shift + page up to scroll back and look for some.
[03:50] <equivocate> oh even with the link ive offered?
[03:50] <equivocate> as im sure thats the fix
[03:50] <naryfa> That's why I always choose to install one system per hard drive.
[03:50] <mcurran> equivocate what's your problem in following the solution
[03:50] <equivocate> but no idea how to do it as he hasnt given the code
[03:50] <edbian> razz1, The process is to choose manual partitioning in the installer.  The program settings are all saved in your home folder.
[03:51] <equivocate> to change the file
[03:51] <aliciapg> edbian: yeah it has quite a few...
[03:51] <equivocate> only how to reset netatalk
[03:51] <edbian> aliciapg, Like what?  What's the first one?  The last one?  The one that seems most important to you?
[03:51] <mcurran> to restart you would run /etc/init.d/netatalk restart
[03:52] <mcurran> sudo
[03:52] <equivocate> yea i can do that but the forum solver says you need to change he netatalk file
[03:52] <equivocate> i just dont know how to change it how he says to
[03:53] <aliciapg> edbian: if failed to mount things like /sys on /root/sys, /dev on /root/dev, /proc on /root/proc
[03:54] <edbian> aliciapg, That's important errors but not the cause.  That's the effect of something.  Look earlier.  Something is going wrong so that they cannot be mounted.
[03:54] <gzone> cannot be mounted?
[03:54] <razz1> edbian: Thats what I mean, when I reinstall just /, It will not have any programs, but their settings will remain in my home folder, when I install the programs again what will happen to all those .rc files, will they re-associate with the programs. I also have SSH server config, with pub keys in home folder, I am trying to get the config back to the way it was.
[03:55] <dave_cave10-10> anyone help me with the configuration of synergy for ubuntu?
[03:55] <aliciapg> edbian: JBD: failed to read block at offset some number?
[03:55] <edbian> razz1, They will re-associate
[03:55] <edbian> razz1, If you do things correctly the ssh keys will remain in your home folder :)
[03:56] <mcurran> yes, if you overwrite the new ones after the install
[03:56] <mcurran> so if you reinstall the programs, you need to overwrite the new configuration files with the old one
[03:56] <robdig> dave_cave10-10: maybe this will help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto
[03:56] <edugonch> Hello, I'm installing ubuntu server 10.10 and when I get to the disck config and the iscsi I get this error = No iscsi targets where discovered 0n xxxxxx:3260, what can I do?
[03:56] <dave_cave10-10> robdig: thanks ill check it out
[03:56] <oneliner> in console, how do i view the permissions of a given directory?
[03:56] <edugonch> I really need help on this
[03:57] <edbian> aliciapg, That's caused my hdd errors.   You can try using a live CD to try to fix the partitions using fdisk or gparted.
[03:57] <Tohuw> edugonch: provide drivers for your iscsi controller, probably. Also, #ubuntu-server
[03:57] <edugonch> thanks
[03:57] <robdig> oneliner: ls -ld
[03:57] <oneliner> robdig: thanks
[03:57] <HoboCannibaL> anyone know where i can find help for getting drivers for an asus g73sw?
[03:58] <owen1> how to find total drive size from the terminal?

[03:58] <macabre> hey all, when i hooked my laptop to my tv to use it as a monitor for some reason my x org conf file was over written, i am stuck at very low res for both my monitor and tv, and suggestions?
[03:58] <edbian> aliciapg, Possibly.  I'm not experienced with this very much.  You should google that error (the JBD one) and learn about it.
[03:58] <macabre> i am running 10.04 on a macbook pro 2,2
[03:59] <robdig> owen1: sudo lshw -C disk
[03:59] <aliciapg> edbian: alright thanks, i'll try that
[03:59] <owen1> robdig: thanks
[03:59] <razz1> mcurran: Ok thats what I was getting at, ok I have all the backups that shouldn't be an issue. Love backintime. I will just replace the  config files in the /etc/ssh folder
[04:00] <mcurran> haven't tried with ssh configuration rsa's, not sure if it'll be simple with that, but typically that's what you would do
[04:03] <djindy> hello?
[04:03] <Tohuw> !hello | djindy
[04:03] <razz1> mcurran: not a big deal setting up new keys, but it saves me lot of time if it's just to just replace the new files with old ones.
[04:04] <razz1> mcurran: edbian: thanks for the help.
[04:04] <Semitones> how can I make it so that the buttons are in the upper left corner instead of the upper right
[04:04] <djindy> ah hi, I'm trying to run a sh file, but I keep getting "permission denied", even with sudo, even as root, even after I've chown the whole partition.
[04:04] <bazhang> Semitones, use the default theme?
[04:04] <bazhang> djindy, whats the file
[04:04] <djindy> hon.sh, a game file
[04:05] <Semitones> bazhang, i thought I was doing that -- oh wait a sec
[04:05] <bazhang> djindy, heroes of newerth?
[04:05] <Tohuw> djindy: sudo chmod +x hon.sh
[04:05] <djindy> yes
[04:05] <Semitones> bazhang, this is bamboo zen i thought i had radiance
[04:05] <edbian> razz1, no problem
[04:06] <jlonganecker> when running php does it spawn processes under the same user as nginx?
[04:06] <Tohuw> djindy: Google "linux permissions" and wash that down with a tall glass of the chmod manual.
[04:06] <djindy> Tohuw, still giving me permission denied
[04:07] <macabre> hey all, when i hooked my laptop to my tv to use it as a monitor for some reason my x org conf file was over written, i am stuck at very low res for both my monitor and tv, and suggestions?
[04:07] <Tohuw> djindy: what, specifically, is it trying to do when you receive permission denied? does the script have a switch for verbose reporting? failing that, is there anything in dmesg?
[04:07] <Semitones> bazhang, i changed it back in gconf problem solved
[04:08] <dsnyders> I just installed 10.10.  Whenever I boot my wlan is down and I have to issue a rfkill unblock command.  How do I set this automatically?
[04:08] <djindy> Tuhow, ok, I'll look around some more at permissions, though this is strange as I was able to use this file before. What's changed is a reinstalled Ubuntu on a different partition, but I've done that previously and this was able to still work...
[04:08] <Paul6253> !jaunty
[04:09] <djindy> Tuhow, hold on let me check...
[04:09] <dave_cave10-10> robdig: thanks for that link quicksyn app makes it nice and simple :)
[04:10] <robdig> dave_cave10-10: yw. glad it worked out for you. i wasn't famililar with that app
[04:10] <dsnyders> !wifi
[04:10] <djindy> Tuhow, dmesg  is only telling me about  some wlan authatnication, but I might not be using it right
[04:10] <Semitones> how would I go about joining the ubuntu-docs team
[04:11] <Tohuw> djindy: cat /var/log/syslog|grep hon.sh
[04:11] <Paul6253> ok I just upgraded from intrepid to jaunty...I guess I'll do another until I'm up to LLynx..anyway still having issues with Java and installation...whenever I  do an apt-get update I get this at some point http://paste.ubuntu.com/582342/
[04:12] <Tohuw> Also, what are the exact permissions of hon.sh, djindy? (ls -l /path/to/hon.sh)
[04:12] <researcher1> is it possible to provide a distro which will ask for password before installation?
[04:13] <bazhang> researcher1, why would you want that
[04:13] <ar0nic> hey guys my vlc which is fully updated keeps force closing with no error, when it attempts to load the stream i hear a blip of audio then the progam closes
[04:13] <ar0nic> is there somewhere i can check to see why it does that
[04:13] <djindy> Tuhow, cat returned nothing, permissions say -rw---1 my username my username 444 2011...
[04:14] <Tohuw> ar0nic: /var/log/syslog
[04:14] <researcher1> bazhang: so that those students who are to use a cewrtain version should only install it on their PC. Like CD having civil engg.  packages should not uise CD having Electronics Engg. packages
[04:14] <bazhang> ar0nic, vlc normally has an error display
[04:14] <djindy> *Tohuw
[04:14] <Tohuw> djindy: your permissions are wrong and include no executable bit. As I said, sudo chmod +x hon.sh
[04:14] <ar0nic> error display?
[04:14] <djindy> i did, but i'll try again
[04:14] <ar0nic> oh
[04:15] <dsnyders> !ubottu
[04:15] <researcher1> !packaging
[04:15] <djindy> Tohuw, I did sudo chmod +x hon.sh again and then ls -l on it again, but nothing has changed
[04:15] <bazhang> researcher1, no need, just remaster and hand out the appropriate ones
[04:15] <bazhang> !remaster > researcher1
[04:16] <Tohuw> djindy: is your pwd the same directory where hon.sh is located?
[04:16] <dsnyders> !wifi
[04:16] <bazhang> dsnyders, /msg ubottu please
[04:17] <researcher1> bazhang: ok.TQ. But what if students from different department tend to use the inappropriate ones?
[04:17] <Paul6253> !java
[04:17] <zorklat> I actually need hardware help, but don't know where to go
[04:18] <bazhang> zorklat, ##hardware
[04:18] <robdig> researcher1: then they fail their first test...following the directions to get the right computer software :)
[04:18] <djindy> Tohuw, if you mean my passowrd, then no, otherwise I'm not sure what pwd is, sorry.
[04:18] <bazhang> researcher1, just label the disks appropriately then with a sharpie
[04:18] <researcher1> ok
[04:18] <bazhang> djindy, present working directory
[04:18] <zorklat> bazhang, can't.  channel is invite only
[04:19] <djindy> bazhang, ah, thanks
[04:19] <bazhang> zorklat, you need to register
[04:19] <djindy> Tohuw, yes, same pwd
[04:19] <Tohuw> zorklat: /msg nickserv hep register
[04:19] <bazhang> !register > zorklat
[04:19] <slipkid08> Yo
[04:19] <bazhang> arkanabar, #freenode for help with that
[04:19] <arkanabar> bazhang, done.
[04:20] <l1nuxman> what does the 'backup' or 'operator' user have privilege to do?
[04:20] <Tohuw> djindy: Clearly, something is borked. If your permissions are not changing when you tell them to, something is wrong. Are you sure sudo actions are successful at all (try sudo apt-get update)
[04:20] <vlad__> can someone help me? none of my usb ports work and lsusb returns nothing
[04:20] <bazhang> l1nuxman, ask a clearer question please
[04:20] <slipkid08> I love apt-get install. So much better than a GUI interface
[04:20] <djindy> Tohuw, update worked, and I've used sudo on other commands as well, though something could still be screwed up since I reinstalled.
[04:20] <vlad__> my USB ports work in win7 though/
[04:21] <Tohuw> djindy: for giggles, try sudo chmod 777 hon.sh and then ls -l to see if it changed to -rwxrwxrwx
[04:21] <psimmen> kj
[04:21] <slipkid08> Try updating your USB drivers
[04:22] <djindy> Tohuw, nope, no changes
[04:22] <vlad__> where do i get them? I have a dell studio 1536.
[04:22] <Tohuw> djindy: if they don't change, try touch test && sudo chmod +x test and ls -l it.
[04:22] <ar0nic> has anyone ever had vlc crash on them when loading streams
[04:22] <slipkid08> How do you use ubuntu as a web server?
[04:22] <bazhang> slipkid08, install lamp
[04:22] <bazhang> !lamp > slipkid08
[04:22] <slipkid08> That's what I figured
[04:23] <psimmen> I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password
[04:23] <ruan> did i have to update-grub in order for my splash image to detect?
[04:23] <ruan> it came to my mind after the kernel update
[04:23] <djindy> showing up the same thing on test, except 444 has changed to 0
[04:23] <psimmen> now it wont even show up in network manager
[04:23] <Tohuw> ruan: yes.
[04:23] <ruan> ah :D
[04:23] <psimmen> i think the driver was faulty
[04:23] <slipkid08> Any good faqs on theming grub
[04:23] <slipkid08> ?
[04:23] <ruan> there is a guide
[04:24] <psimmen> i'm in no rush but took a pill that will make me drowsy and i need wirekless for tommorow
[04:24] <ar0nic> has anyone ever had vlc crash on them when loading streams
[04:24] <djindy> Tohuw, test shows same result as hon.sh, except 444 has changed to 0
[04:25] <Tohuw> djindy: something is wrong with your system. Does chmod with no arguments output the basic usage?
[04:25] <robdig> l1nuxman: if you're talking about the default groups, backup allows non-root users in the backup group to back up the system and operator allows non-root users to execute commands in the operator group. operator group is tied to op command too.
[04:25] <djindy> Tohuw, tells me missing operand Try 'chmod --help' for more information
[04:25] <Tohuw> djindy: or rather, does it say, missing operand
[04:26] <Tohuw> ok
[04:26] <l1nuxman> robdig, how can I find out what specifically the operators group can do?
[04:26] <psimmen> I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password
[04:26] <psimmen> I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password
[04:26] <FloodBot1> psimmen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:26] <robdig> l1nuxman: i would think that those groups would only be used in commercial areas..
[04:26] <bazhang> psimmen, once is enough, be patient
[04:26] <robdig> l1nuxman: do man op
[04:27] <psimmen> it was a mistake!
[04:27] <l1nuxman> robdig, theres no man page
[04:27] <robdig> l1nuxman: ok not installed by default. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/op.1.html
[04:27] <ruan> somehow it finds my background image but it doesnt use it
[04:28] <aliciapg> http://tinyurl.com/4w85p2x this exact same thing happens to me, can someone help?
[04:28] <Tohuw> djindy: are you able to chmod files in a different dir?
[04:28] <Nocturnal> I can't get java 6.24 working on ubuntu 10.10. Am needing it to play games on pogo
[04:29] <ruan> Nocturnal: have you tried both sun java and openjdk?
[04:29] <djindy> Tohuw, yes, though it is looking like I cannot chmod anything on that partition.
[04:29] <Tohuw> djindy: ah! now we are getting somewhere. That partition, what filesystem is it?
[04:30] <Nocturnal> I have tryed sun java, useing there step by step guide. I have not tryed open jdk.
[04:30] <psimmen> I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password
[04:30] <djindy> Tohuw, give me a sec, its an old one, but it should be either ntfs or ext3
[04:30] <Polah> psimmen: Are you using the right encryption protocol?
[04:31] <djindy> Tohuw, its ntfs
[04:31] <psimmen> i cant even choose to use wireless because there is no driver installed and i downt know how to do that without instructions like before
[04:32] <Tohuw> djindy: ntfs has no native support for linux file permissions. Hence your problem. See: http://b.andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/permissions.html
[04:32] <Nocturnal> ruan: I looked in the installed software, it says open jdk is installed, but its not working
[04:32] <djindy> Tohuw, alright, though I was able to use these files before from this partition...
[04:33] <Tohuw> djindy: I don't recommend using ntfs for anything except keeping a windows operating system on it.
[04:33] <psimmen> Polah: I cant choose to use wireless
[04:33] <Tohuw> djindy: your fstab may have changed. You can allow execution or disallow it. man fstab
[04:33] <djindy> Tohuw, I don't usually put ntfs on anything, but I've had this parititon for a long time, since I started using linux and was dual booting, and it is mostly bulk data which I don't have a backup drive to move stuff on, hence still ntfs.
[04:34] <scotty2> erbolt
[04:34] <djindy> Tohuw, I'll try that then, thank you
[04:34] <Tohuw> djindy: fair enough :) Just remember that permissions get borked on filesystems that don't support them natively.
[04:35] <djindy> Tohuw, thank you for your help.
[04:35] <Tohuw> np
[04:35] <l1nuxman> like I want to give a user privileges such as to view /var/log/messages and the basic necessaties . Isn't there an easier way that to manually configure sudo? Maybe a predefined group for it
[04:35] <psimmen> Polah: I cant choose to use wireless
[04:36] <arkanabar> anyone know where I can get help with partedmagic?
[04:37] <psimmen> I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password
[04:37] <bazhang> arkanabar, try asking here, gparted may be what you'd like though
[04:37] <ruan> Nocturnal: openjdk-jre?
[04:38] <arkanabar> bazhang, that's part of partedmagic.  my problem is that it isn't recognizing a pair of EIDE drives
[04:39] <oven_> i was running mplayer from the command line instead of smplayer earlier, and i accidentally hit my keyboard and now mplayer has no sound even with smplayer opened
[04:39] <xiambax> If i install pretty much any version of ubuntu i can get this thing to update to latest right?
[04:40] <oven_> my mplayer config file is normal, I even tried deleting the config and reinstalling, but still no sound with mplayer - all other media players work fine
[04:40] <dsnyders> oven_, Have you tried 0 and 9 to adjust the volume?
[04:40] <bazhang> xiambax, not really; some are end of life
[04:40] <xiambax> alpha 3 won't install
[04:40] <Nocturnal> ruam: OpenJDK Java 6 Runyime
[04:40] <xiambax> Errno 5 input/output error
[04:40] <bazhang> xiambax, #ubuntu+1 for that
[04:40] <xiambax> i walked into the village to buy it
[04:41] <Nocturnal> tuntime*
[04:41] <psimmen> I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password
[04:41] <oven_> hahaha oh wow, that worked - thanks
[04:41] <Nocturnal> runtime- ffs
[04:41]  * Nocturnal kicks his keyboard
[04:41] <ruan> Nocturnal: have you tried sun-java?
[04:41] <oven_> i had tried altering the sound all sorts of ways in smplayer, and muting and unmuting, but after launching in cli again and using 0 the sound came back /facepalm
[04:42] <Nocturnal> ruam: I have not been able to get the open jdk removed so I can install sun java
[04:42] <ruan> Nocturnal: have you tried using synaptic?
[04:43] <Nocturnal> yes
[04:43] <ruan> Nocturnal: does it give an error if you try to remove openjdk?
[04:43] <l1nuxman> so how can I find out for example what group "adm" has privileges to? It must be specified in some file. Anyone know?
[04:43] <abstrakt> how can I script rhythmbox to show the radio stations on startup rather than my music library?
[04:43] <psimmen> I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password
[04:44] <Nocturnal> nope, it just shows up on the installed software list after I exit the software center
[04:44] <ruan> Nocturnal: click apply when you mark it for uninstallation
[04:45] <jsoftw> Anyone had any issues with flash crashing if more than one flash is running at a time?
[04:45] <jsoftw> On youtube I should say
[04:45] <draven_sol> when trying to remove a file with rm i'm getting an i/o error, how can i fix or debug this, it's only one file
[04:46] <psimmen> I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password
[04:46] <jsoftw> Peow peow peow
[04:47] <Nocturnal> ruan: Ok I will try removing it again.
[04:49] <Nocturnal> ok its removed. Now how do I install the sun java?
[04:50] <obscurant1st> I trying to create an 32 bit image for my android using rootstock. But my system is 32 bit, i dont know whether rootstock produces a 32 bit version or 64 bit version. can someone help me out in this.
[04:50] <obscurant1st> my system is 64 bit* sorry
[04:50] <ruan> Nocturnal: install sun-java-jre
[04:51] <ruan> Nocturnal: search it in synaptic
[04:51] <ruan> sun-java6-jre
[04:53] <Nocturnal> ruan: Ok that worked perfect. Thank you very much.
[04:53] <vlad__> who is the most advanced user here?
[04:54] <ruan> Nocturnal: :)
[04:54] <zabomber> we are collectively advanced
[04:54] <ruan> ^^
[04:54] <vlad__> Who can help with
[04:54] <vlad__> vlad@laptop ~ $ sudo lsusb -t
[04:54] <vlad__> Segmentation fault
[04:54] <Nocturnal> 0.o
[04:54] <slipkid08> I am not as advanced as some
[04:55] <ruan> does it give segmentation fault if you just type 'lsusb'?
[04:55] <vlad__> nothing happens then.
[04:55] <slipkid08> It gives him nada
[04:55] <ruan> i get devices if i type lsusb on its own :S
[04:55] <vlad__> vlad@laptop ~ $ lsusb
[04:55] <vlad__> vlad@laptop ~ $
[04:55] <slipkid08> He's running mint if that helps
[04:56] <ruan> hmm. mint isn't really supported here
[04:56] <ruan> !mint
[04:56] <vlad__> they cant help.
[04:56] <slipkid08> His win 7 installation recognizes his ports tho
[04:56] <vlad__> besides mint 10 is based on ubuntu 10.10
[04:57] <slipkid08> So they're obviously working
[04:57]  * lathan_devers wants to remind you that ubottu is a bot =)
[04:57] <ar0nic> ugh wth vlc
[04:57] <slipkid08> Lol
[04:57] <ar0nic> guys where is the syslog at againhj
[04:57] <rww> vlad__: Regardless, it's not supported here. Your available support options for each distro are something to consider when choosing which to use.
[04:57] <ruan> ar0nic: /var/log or logfile viewerr
[04:57] <ruan> -r
[04:57] <slipkid08> I prefer Mac
[04:57] <slipkid08> Whoops
[04:58] <vlad__> well they would not work in ubuntu either.
[04:58] <slipkid08> Mav*
[04:58] <slipkid08> You used Ubuntu too?
[04:58] <rww> vlad__: Please feel free to install Ubuntu, come back, and test that hypothesis.
[04:58] <ar0nic> heh which log would it be in, vlc is crashing after i attempt to play something, with no errors or output in its logger
[04:59] <zabomber> Mac with Virtual box = heat!!
[04:59] <slipkid08> Heh
[04:59] <jsoftw> Mac with Paralells == Deluxe.
[04:59] <xiambax> my i7 does just fine with virtualbox
[04:59] <vlad__> hypotheses? i just tested it a few days ago and i just tested it with a live CD of 10.10.
[04:59] <xiambax> parallels runs faster though
[04:59] <zabomber> try not to pay for my software where i can...
[05:00] <vlad__> Do you want me to boot into that and come back here? Because my wifi card wont work without a driver.
[05:00] <ar0nic> 38610.334733] vlc[17191]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f2ed1173e75 sp 00007f2ed01f29f0 error 4 in libQtCore.so.4.5.2[7f2ed1117000+22d000]
[05:00] <ar0nic> this is the error
[05:00] <ruan> libqtcore?
[05:01] <chinthaka> I need a help to install mysql server on ubuntu 10.10
[05:01] <ar0nic> yes
[05:01] <ar0nic> vlc player
[05:02] <wliao> chinthaka, what's the problem.
[05:02] <zabomber> you should google before you irc...
[05:02] <zabomber> theres 1000's of tut's online with mysql install help on ubuntu
[05:02] <chinthaka> I tried both sudo apt-get install mysql-server as well as used the synaptic package manager
[05:02] <ruan> !mysql
[05:02] <chinthaka> But using both I cannot download the package
[05:02] <zabomber> can you download other packages?
[05:02] <zabomber> or just an issue with mysql?
[05:03] <chinthaka> I downloaded apache and php
[05:03] <wliao> I think it's a issue about your source.
[05:03] <chinthaka> but cannnot download mysql
[05:03] <dsnyders> chinthaka, low disk space, maybe?
[05:03] <ar0nic> hmm well i got an error i guess il submit it
[05:03] <ar0nic> thats wild
[05:03] <chinthaka> how do I check for low disk space
[05:04] <wliao> chinthaka, df -h
[05:04] <zabomber> df -h
[05:04] <crlcan81> Is there any way of having folders automatically made for each file when you move them into a location?
[05:04] <crlcan81> using nautilus that is.
[05:05] <crlcan81> I have 180 or so files that I'm moving and I already have a folder structure with each of that type of file in their own folder, so other filetypes associated with that specific file can be organized with them.
[05:05] <chinthaka> these are the results when trying df -h
[05:06] <chinthaka> /dev/sda6              16G  3.7G   12G  25% /
[05:06] <chinthaka> /dev/sda5             310M   29M  266M  10% /boot
[05:06] <wliao> chinthaka, so that's not the problem.
[05:06] <chinthaka> /dev/sda8              45G  2.3G   43G   5% /media/Acadamic
[05:06] <zabomber> so than its probably your repo as wliao stated
[05:07] <wliao> chinthaka, pls make sure u can connect the repo server.
[05:07] <zabomber> sudo apt-get update
[05:07] <wliao> chinthaka, or, first try apt-get update
[05:08] <chinthaka> ok sudo apt-get update was finished
[05:08] <abstrakt> so I can't seem to control netbeans with wmctrl, I'm just trying to do this: `wmctrl -r netbeans -t 5` which I see on numerous forum posts and other similar places on google, but the netbeans window is unmoved... netbeans has no hostname in wmctrl -l, if that makes a difference
[05:08] <chinthaka> I mean it successfully completed
[05:09] <zabomber> try install mysql now?
[05:09] <wliao> chinthaka, u'd better show as the result of your installation
[05:09] <chinthaka> you mean which installation
[05:10] <abstrakt> why doesn't wmctrl work?
[05:10] <chinthaka> mysql or sudo apt-get update installtion
[05:10] <abstrakt> right clicking in the window list works
[05:10] <abstrakt> wmctrl works in regards to switching *to* the netbeans window
[05:10] <abstrakt> but it seems that wmctrl refuses to actually move the actual netbeans window
[05:11] <wliao> chinthaka, sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[05:12] <chinthaka> 0% [Waiting for headers]
[05:12] <chinthaka>  in terminal it comes like this and then it stucks
[05:12] <chinthaka> any download doesn't occur
[05:12] <zabomber> hows your dns?
[05:12] <zabomber> all working?
[05:12] <zabomber> ive had problems where my dns doesnt resolve the repo's...
[05:13] <zabomber> and thus it just pauses while its trying to resolve the repo dns name to ip
[05:13] <wliao> chinthaka, have a look at your /etc/apt/source.list
[05:13] <code_ninja> need ubuntu help? call the ubuntu experts @ 718-618-4770!
[05:13] <wliao> code_ninja, u again.
[05:14] <wliao> ping your server, or open it in your web browser.
[05:14] <chinthaka> I opened  /etc/apt/source.list
[05:15] <chinthaka> what should I do now
[05:15] <wliao> chinthaka, have u ever edited your source.list?
[05:16] <chinthaka> nope
[05:17] <wliao> open one in your browser.
[05:17] <chinthaka> after clicking on source.list it gave me a new window with tabs ubuntu software, other software etc
[05:17] <Antares> Algun usuario de KDE?
[05:18] <wliao> chinthaka, So i will assume you have good access.
[05:18] <Antares> Alguien de KDE?
[05:19] <chinthaka> ok
[05:20] <wliao> chinthaka, sorry i don't why the installation fails.
[05:20] <Wolfwalker_Prime> I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon XPress 200M video card.  Default video driver makes games flicker and Neverball does very interesting things.  With official fglrx driver games don't even try to run.
[05:20] <Wolfwalker_Prime> I've googled extensively... what am I missing here?
[05:20] <wliao> zabomber, any idea?
[05:20] <chinthaka> in software sources the download server is set to "server from sri lanka"
[05:21] <chinthaka> Can't it be a error in the server
[05:22] <wliao> not so much possibility.
[05:23] <A|i3N> ok well. Thought the computer I aquired wasn't working right - thought it was locking up (it actually did a couple times, but since I erased the other HD it's ok). 2 HD scsi system by the way. I get into ubuntu, and I see only the background. I have to alt F1 to see the menu. Gnome failsafe shows me the menu bar and stuff but no Internet connectivity so I can't get on here to fix it in real time. Help?!?!
[05:23] <chinthaka> but when I try  using synaptic package manager it gives an error like that
[05:23] <chinthaka> the error is W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-5.1/mysql-server-core-5.1_5.1.49-1ubuntu8.1_i386.deb
[05:24] <chinthaka> W: Failed to fetch http://lk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-5.1/mysql-server-5.1_5.1.49-1ubuntu8.1_i386.deb
[05:24] <A|i3N> bazhang yer good at this stuff help me out lol
[05:25] <chinthaka> when I try that link also it stops downloading the file on middle
[05:25] <dsnyders> chinthaka, Sri Lanka?  I think you've got something misconfigured.
[05:25] <wliao> chinthaka, so it's network maybe.
 why is that?
[05:27] <A|i3N> but to recap.. 10 y/o server type system. SCSI drives. Dunno what vid card it has. But all I see when i login is background. Lucid version. Clean install. Works in failsafe.
[05:30] <dsnyders> chinthaka, The synaptic package manager will try to download from a local mirror.  You shouldn't be hitting the Sri Lanka mirrors unless you are located there.  Because of the different languages, I wouldn't be confident that the mirrors there have the same software that the North American mirrors have.
[05:31] <wliao> dsnyders, normally the software is the same.
[05:31] <wliao> dsnyders, that's why we call it "mirror", right?
[05:32] <bazhang> dsnyders, they are mirrors, thus the same
[05:32] <bazhang> whoops
[05:34] <chinthaka> dsnyders:what should I do now?
[05:36] <A|i3N> bazhang: little help? lol
[05:36] <chinthaka> isn't there anywary to install mysql on ubuntu

[05:49] <Aquaguy> iiicyg, if I install apache2.2-comon it install another Apache server alongside with the one that I already installed using apt-get install apache2
[05:49] <darkenvy> okay

[05:52] <sony`> i have the live cd, i have verified the contents, but it always hangs and stops working when i try to install the OS to my machine
[05:52] <sony`> ejv i'm getting to it :P
[05:53] <ruan> sony`: you could try the alternative cd
[05:53] <ruan> !alternative
[05:53] <sony`> so i see Try ubuntu / Install Ubuntu, going to click on "Install Ubuntu" for the 2nd time
[05:53] <A|i3N> iiicyg yes, I can and it is an older system, bout 10 years. I would think ubuntu would have no issues but it's a server type machine. I'm lost lol i dunno what to try. I don't know enough to function without the full menu bar up top :)
[05:54] <sony`> bah lol need to burn another cd :<
[05:54] <ruan> !usb
[05:54] <ruan> sony`: you can use a usb flash drive ^
[05:54] <ejv> i wouldn't rule out the possibility of a bad disk, bad controller, bad cable, etc.
[05:54] <ejv> it's rather ambiguous
[05:55] <sony`> ruan system is really really old, doesn't support boot from USB
[05:55] <Wolfwalker_Prime> I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon XPress 200M video card.  Default video driver makes games flicker and Neverball does very interesting things.  With official fglrx driver games don't even try to run.  Also with the official driver ATI's Catalyst Control Center says something about there is no ATI driver present for it to control.
[05:55] <Wolfwalker_Prime> I've googled extensively... what am I missing here?
[05:55] <JChan> Hello! I have a strange problem with a freshly installed copy of Ubuntu 10.10 - at times, Ubuntu will not recognize any of my mouse clicks.
[05:56] <JChan> I can still select things through keyboard control, but the mouse clicking fails to function at all
[05:56] <sony`> ejv i ran the cd verifier
[05:56] <JChan> If it helps, I'm using a Logitech wireless mouse
[05:56] <JChan> Thanks!
[05:57] <djancak> what does "at times" mean JChan
[05:57] <ruan> hmm. i wonder if net install fits on a floppy
[05:57] <JChan> djancak: Randomly
[05:57] <djancak> JChan: so it never boots up and just completely stops working?
[05:57] <A|i3N> OK I found a fix for my problem with no desktop - CAn SOMEONE tell me how to connect to my CDMA connection without a menu bar?!?!?
[05:57] <JChan> djancak: I've not had that happen yet
[05:57] <rigved> JChan: are you using an optical mouse? if yes, make sure that the surface under the mouse is clean as it can sometimes cause problems
[05:57] <JChan> for the first 30 seconds or so, everything seems to be fine
[05:58] <A|i3N> I have NO idea what to type in the terminal
[05:58] <JChan> rigved: That's certainly not the case, but thanks :)
[05:58] <djancak> JChan: how frequently does it occur?
[05:58] <JChan> djancak: Very often. :
[05:58] <djancak> JChan: tried a hard-wired mouse yet?
[05:58] <djancak> JChan: or try that mouse on another comp?
[05:58] <JChan> djancak: Yep. After I plug in a hard-wired mouse, the mouse works for a little bit then starts failing to click just as the previous mouse.
[05:59] <JChan> It doesn't matter if it's wireless or wired, they all seem to stop working shortly :(
[05:59] <djancak> JChan: interesting problem. unfortunately i don't know diddley about ubuntu
[05:59] <Wolfwalker_Prime> Thank you for the help nobody.
[05:59] <JChan> djancak: Thanks for trying to help anyways! :D
[05:59]  * djancak still on XP... sadly...
[06:01] <Aquaguy> Which is the command for copying files using terminal?
[06:01] <jrtayloriv> Aquaguy, cp
[06:01] <Aquaguy> thank you
[06:01] <jrtayloriv> no problem
[06:02] <ruan> file operations in terminal are abbreivated. eg. rm, cp, mv
[06:04] <caffine> running 10.10, enabled the nvidia drivers, and boom, xorg dies as soon as i log in. did some quick searches and only seeming to find recent problems with multiple monitors. this is just a single laptop monitor. any ideas?
[06:04] <ruan> caffine: xorg.log?
[06:05] <caffine> ruan: remind me where that is? i just looked at dmesg and it looks like a hard crash, but yeah, if we have more info in xorg, let's do it.
[06:07] <AndroUser> oi
[06:08] <AndroUser> _jesse_, oi
[06:08] <bazhang> !br | AndroUser
[06:08] <ruan> caffine: /var/xorg.0.log or something, let me check
[06:08] <ruan> /var/log/xorg.0.log
[06:09] <caffine> ruan: one sec. while i get that guy, here's what i think is the relevant part in dmesg in case it's of any help:   http://pastebin.com/KnXjmKZk
[06:10] <ruan> yep, a call trace
[06:10] <ruan> all of which leads to nvidia/xorg. its relevant
[06:12] <caffine> ruan: here's the xorg log, but it doesn't look very helpful (to me, at least)  http://pastebin.com/1d5Svqhi   just one warning about not having a cyrillic font (which i don't use)
[06:13] <ruan> hmm. is there a way you can remove the nvidia drivers?
[06:14] <caffine> yup. i can reboot into recovery mode.
[06:14] <Vorticity> I've got a dumb question.  When stdout is redirected to a file, is there any way to do a carriage return (\r) so that you can write over the same line again?  When I try I just get ^M in my output files.
[06:16] <caffine> hrm. thought i could... that ubuntu install seems to be ignoring this one. too snobby for my ssh client!
[06:19] <ruan> Vorticity: is this related to bash?
[06:19] <ruan> if so, you could try in #bash
[06:19] <^141211>  |» `[[G]|ob|[C`]]^ «|  
[06:20] <Vorticity> ruan, it does the same thing in tcsh and bash
[06:21] <zabomber> anyone know what vpn client i can use on an ubuntu 9.0 box to connect to a sonicwall vpn?
[06:22] <ndxtg> does anyone know what command to  see if a usb stick is plugged in and is already mounted?
[06:23] <ruan> ndxtg: fsusb or sudo fdisk -l?
[06:23] <Lpp> I got a question, I'm using a Dell Inspiron 14R(N4010) and Ubuntu 10.10. I can not change the brightness at all. Can anyone help me?
[06:23] <Vorticity> ndxtg: you might just try df -h.  Should list all of the mounted drives.
[06:23] <bazhang> ruan, lsusb you mean?
[06:23] <patrickw> zabomber:  I user to work for a place with a sonicwall, if I remember correctly they use IPSec with XAuth, like cisco...  have you tried vpnc?
[06:23] <ruan> lsusb* yes
[06:24] <zabomber> mmm... i think thats the problem im having.. not too sure which client to use on ubuntu..
[06:24] <zabomber> vpnc a client?
[06:24] <ruan> Lpp: try installing "Monitor Settings" from ubuntu software center
[06:25] <Lpp> ruan, I feel really stupid for not looking anything up like that, thanks! I hope this works, I'll report back in a second
[06:26] <ndxtg> ruan & Vorticity: is there any command that to list USB devices only, not hdd? because I'm writing a python to copy USB files to a spec location...
[06:26] <bvierra|l> anyone know a good rtmp publisher for ubuntu?
[06:27] <ruan> i see some rtmp tools for commandline
[06:28] <caffine> ruan: nvidia uninstalled and rebooted and it's working now.
[06:28] <Lpp> ruan it says: No monitor supporting DDC/CI available.  If your graphics card need it, please check all required kernel modules are loaded (i2c-dev, and your framebuffer driver)
[06:28] <zabomber> patrickw: thanks. downloaded vpnc and it looks like its going to do the trick
[06:28] <ruan> Lpp: hmm.
[06:28] <ruan> Lpp: what graphics vendor? intel, nvidia, ati?
[06:28] <Lpp> Intel
[06:29] <patrickw> zabomer, cool, I hope it works out off the bat... :)
[06:29] <bvierra|l> ruan: yea me too, just need to do a test publish for a client
[06:29] <caffine> ruan: is there anything i should try to get nvidia working, or just give up on it for a bit? was hoping to have my wobbly windows. :p
[06:29] <ruan> caffine: lol
[06:29] <Lpp> ruan, Intel if you didn't get that
[06:29] <ruan> yeah i did
[06:30] <motaka2> how to create a shortcut for terminal
[06:30] <ruan> motaka2: applications > accessories, drag the terminal wherever you want it
[06:30] <i_is_broke> caffine, what nvidia
[06:31] <vick> Hello. I have ubuntu installed and I'm compiling a C++ program with the new standard C++0x, but it is giving me SEGV on something that should not show SEGV, so i backtraced and it show that there is a missing file elf/dl-runtime.cc, which package is that ? Or how can i figure out which package does it belong to ?
[06:31] <i_is_broke> caffine, first try going to system additional drivers and see if there is a driver in there if so activate it.
[06:31] <caffine> i_is_broke: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev a2)
[06:32] <caffine> i_is_broke: doing that is what broke in the first place. :)  it's crashing xorg.
[06:32] <i_is_broke> sorry thats under admistrations
[06:32] <i_is_broke> caffine, ah i see try going their and deactivate it.
[06:32] <ruan> lol. he had to uninstall it for display to work
[06:33] <patrickw> vick:  have you tried apt-file?
[06:33] <i_is_broke> caffine, then you can try the open drivers for it.
[06:33] <caffine> i_is_broke: yup. just got finished doing that. so now i can at least get X running again.
[06:33] <ruan> Lpp: sudo gconf-editor
[06:34] <Lpp> Okay ruan, now what?
[06:34] <caffine> i_is_broke: open drivers? those are there by default, aren't they? or i needed to do something else to use those?
[06:34] <ruan> Lpp: wait.. right click a panel, add to panel, brightness applet
[06:34] <Lpp> tried that
[06:35] <ruan> oh ok
[06:35] <Lpp> The brightness doesn't change
[06:35] <i_is_broke> caffine, go to synaptics, or software center i think and look, but i dont think so. just vesa
[06:36] <caffine> i_is_broke: okey dokey. i *think* i'm using the nouveau ones now. I see a bunch of this string in the xorg log now:  "NOUVEAU"
[06:36] <Lpp> ruan, Should I keep Config Editor open?
[06:36] <i_is_broke> caffine, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[06:36] <ruan> Lpp: you can close it
[06:37] <ruan> hmm
[06:37] <i_is_broke> ! nvidia > caffine
[06:39] <Lpp> ruan, I think I found an answer...
[06:39] <caffine> i_is_broke: thanks. checking these out. software center says i have vesa and nouveau drivers, but i don't have nouveau firmware for some reason.
[06:40] <i_is_broke> caffine, your quite welcome, good luck.
[06:41] <Lpp> ruan, Sent you a PM
[06:41] <sn00pdigg> anyone have experience with ubuntu and android phones?
[06:41] <jsoftw> Lpp: Can you send me a private message? I feel lonly.
[06:41] <jsoftw> :P
[06:42] <Lpp> jsoftw, ruan is helping me with my monitor issue...
[06:42] <aju> Hai all, How can i create net connection using dialup modem in ubuntu 10.04, my system had builtin dialup modem
[06:44] <MasterGH_netbook> Alrighty, hopefully this works now that I've re-reg'd my nick. I've been trying to install 10.10 on my netbook (a HP Mini 110) via a USB flash drive, but each time something using parted is loaded up (gparted, or bits in the installer) it crashes. Running gparted from the command line shows an error which I'll paste in a sec
[06:44] <MasterGH_netbook> "Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:662 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed."
[06:44] <guspur> assalamu alaikum
[06:45] <MasterGH_netbook> Any ideas? I've tried multiple downloads, the netbook remix version, and multiple flash drives, but it's the same in each case.
[06:45] <aju> anyone can help me
[06:46] <StepNjump> hi guys, my computer goes to sleep too quickly and everytime I need to key in my root password. Is there a way to change the time when it goes back on sleep?
[06:46] <Pranav_rcmas1> StepNjump, there should be something called power settings under system Administration
[06:48] <StepNjump> Pranav_rcmas1 yes I tried to fool around with most settings but no change
[06:48] <StepNjump> let me try again
[06:50] <StepNjump> Pravnav_rcmas1 Power Management preferences?
[06:52] <zabomber> anyone know offhand the type of encryption vpnc uses as standard?
[06:53] <sn00pdigg> i'm attempting to update my lg android phone on the ubuntu 10.10 os. kp500 won't recognize the phone plugged into the usb port. i need help figuring this out. udev, 51 and 70 are updated. and the phone is in debugging mode. how can i get the newest update on this phone?
[06:56] <MasterGH_netbook> alriiiight, so I've made progress. starting up gparted with it -only- accessing the netbook's HDD doesn't give me an error, so it must be having trouble with my flash drive. Anyone know of a way to force Ubuntu's installer to disregard the flash drive I have plugged in?
[07:02] <Syria> Hi, I have installed mysql5, mysql server, apache2 and phpmyadmin but 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin is still not acceptable! no such web page.
[07:06] <ejv> !lamp | Syria
[07:06] <Syria> ejv:  I running under ubuntu 64bit so LAMP can't be installed on it.
[07:07] <ejv> that's ridiculous.
[07:07] <Syria> ejv:  Why?
[07:07] <Syria> ejv: LAMP works on 32bit architecture only.
[07:08] <rww> Syria: No. No it doesn't.
[07:08] <Syria> rww:  I will check again, thnx anyway.
[07:09] <jrtayloriv> Syria -- don't worry about checking again. It's not true. You can run LAMP on a 64-bit system. I'm doing so right now.

[07:10] <mike__> ok
[07:10] <DScript> $
[07:11] <jrtayloriv> Syria, You've configured something incorrectly. It has nothing to do with your system being 64-bit.
[07:11] <ejv> Syria: read the documentation. http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/ is a good start.

[07:13] <cjs> What does it mean when ReiserFS claims that I am using only 25GB of a 33GB disk, and yet I have no free space?
[07:15] <DScript> Hardware we all want: FSF announces criteria for hardware program.
[07:16] <rypervenche> If I am running screen and irssi, if I don't detach the window using ^A d will irssi close? For example if my computer freezes and abruptly shuts down.
[07:16] <DScript> _________
[07:17] <rww> rypervenche: If you're running programs on your local computer and your computer shuts down, they'll close no matter what. If you mean screen and irssi on a remote server, then no, they'd stay running.
[07:17] <SwedeMike> rypervenche: if your network connection is lost screen will keep running, it'll automatically detach.

[07:21] <Syria> SwedeMike:  Okay.
[07:21] <SwedeMike> Syria: you can do this very easily using network manager, look around in there, you can set your wifi interface as shared.
[07:22] <SwedeMike> Syria: ah, it had it in there, use section 1, not the 2 and onwards.
[07:22] <Syria> SwedeMike: Which sections?

[07:27] <SightUp> can ubuntu run well on 2gb of ram?
[07:27] <ruan> SightUp: yep
[07:27] <Starminn> SightUp: It ran well for me on 512MB.
[07:27] <sn00pdigg> runs good on anything that i've seen..
[07:27] <SightUp> ruan wanna see the comp i chose?
[07:27] <Starminn> sn00pdigg: Can it run on no RAM?
[07:27] <cjs> SightUp: Depends on what you're running. :-) Typicaly desktop environment will work reasonably well, though, up to a few dozen tabs in Firefox.
[07:27] <rypervenche> SwedeMike: Ok, thank you.

[07:28] <sn00pdigg> gotta have ram....
[07:28] <SightUp> ^ i am loading ubuntu on that
[07:28] <cjs> I"ve had "git gc" drive a 750 MB server deep into swap.
[07:28] <Starminn> sn00pdigg: Ah. I honestly was curious, lol.
[07:28] <ThundrMeistr> 64k, thats all youll ever need
[07:29] <ruan> lol
[07:29] <SightUp> thats a good laptop for ubuntu right?
[07:29] <sn00pdigg> oh.... ubuntu is "smart" about resources tho. it uses ext of the hdd as ram sometimes which makes things run quicker
[07:30] <SightUp> suggestions plox?
[07:31] <ruan> yeah its a good laptop
[07:32] <SightUp> think i will have driver issues ruan?
[07:32] <SightUp> or will ubuntu run fine?
[07:32] <ejv> it'll be fine SightUp
[07:33] <sn00pdigg> anyone know how to properly dual boot into windows if i've already used all of my hdd as ext?
[07:34] <ejv> keep in mind there will be exceptions for very bleeding-edge, unique hardware, like webcams, bluetooth, etc. check the ubuntu/linux kernels if you're worried about specific hardware to rule out any issues.
[07:34] <SightUp> i dont care about any of the hardware you mentioned
[07:35] <SightUp> i am worried about stuff like cpu support, video, motherboard like the NB, and internet
[07:36] <ruan> cpus and motherboards and internet will be compatible
[07:36] <ejv> those are concerns probably best discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:37] <SightUp> um, how is hardware support pertaining to ubuntu not about ubuntu?
[07:37] <sn00pdigg> anyone know how to properly dual boot into windows if i've already used all of my hdd as ext?
[07:37] <ruan> sn00pdigg: you could resize the ext partition and make an ntfs one
[07:38] <sn00pdigg> ruan: using what?
[07:38] <ruan> gparted of course
[07:38] <motz> Hi, I just installed me-tv on my laptop lenovo b560 with ubuntu 10. Everything works fine, but when I turn to fullscreen vision, TV signal stops with freeze image and doesn't completely turn to fullscreen. According to a post (https://bugs.launchpad.net/me-tv/+bug/699825) it's a problem of video card driver, which can be solved by using xv  driver instead of vdpau. What do you think about?
[07:38] <sn00pdigg> okay... i'm somewhat a newb
[07:38] <ruan> !gparted
[07:39] <sn00pdigg> but i know that windows partition tries to takeover the dual boot process

[08:07] <mr0wl> Where it's the best place to get Firefox RC?
[08:07] <akram> hello
[08:08] <Starminn> mr0wl: From Firefox site?
[08:08] <Camarata> mr0wl, www.firefox.com
[08:08] <Aquaguy> anyone knows how to start up in command line mode?
[08:09] <mr0wl> No specific PPAs?
[08:09] <Camarata> Aquaguy, you should be able to from GRUB
[08:09] <Starminn> mr0wl: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC/
[08:09] <Camarata> Aquaguy, have you tried just selecting recovery mode, then terminal?
[08:09] <Camarata> errr command line
[08:09] <Aquaguy> Camarata, I cant see grub when the computer starts up, should I enable it somewhere?
[08:10] <mr0wl> Starminn: those builds are usually missing a lot of libraries.
[08:10] <raven> possible to convert isos written with dd to 9660-ISO?
[08:10] <Starminn> mr0wl: Well if you don't want it from the Firefox site, where do you want it from? That's the source...
[08:12] <mr0wl> Starminn: Ubuntu usually adds a lot of integration into Firefox that enhances the appearance.
[08:12] <Starminn> mr0wl: Umm... So it's not missing anything.
[08:12] <mr0wl> I was looking for packages that gives similar experience.

[08:13] <Starminn> mr0wl: That's not Firefox, that's Ubuntu. And I've been running Beta since Beta 4 and nothing bad has ever happened. You could always download a theme for Ubuntu though I'd way

[08:14] <naftilos76> hi everyone, i have been working with Kubuntu for maybe a year now but have been dissapointed by the uncertainty of KDE trying to decide whether it wants to be stable, buggy or whatever...I have almost decide to go back to ubuntu which have served me well during the time i used it! I can see that ubuntu website suggests that the "recommended" ver is the 32bit. What is the reason of 32bit suggested as the recommende ver? I am on a intel Quad
[08:14] <naftilos76>  9550 which is clearly a 64bit CPU. I remember that ther was a difference in speed between 32 and 64bit ver . What would you propose? 32bit or 64 bit?
[08:14] <Potter_leo> 64 bit its all moving that way
[08:15] <mr0wl> Starminn: it's more than themes, things like building with libcairo flags enhances Firefox a lot.
[08:15] <rww> naftilos76: The "recommended" is just because the 32-bit ISO works on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, whereas 64-bit only works on 64-bit systems.
[08:15] <Potter_leo> best not to oversarutate with too many options
[08:15] <rww> For normal desktop usage, there is no appreciable difference between the two.
[08:15] <Starminn> mr0wl: Well I don't know, man. I'd say you'd just have to wait until Ubuntu makes those for Firefox 4 which you'd have to do anyway.
[08:15]  * rww uses 64-bit, has non-normal desktop usage ;)
[08:15] <naftilos76> rww: thanks, i am aware of that. Thought that there is something else into it!
[08:15] <Potter_leo> 64 ak2ats runs much more stably
[08:16] <sn00pdigg> i can't believe that nobody else hasn't used ubuntu to develop software, and/or update their phone
[08:16]  * Starminn think rww is non-normal
[08:16] <i_is_broke> < seconds what Starminn said.:D
[08:16] <Potter_leo> my big thing has always been stability 64 doesn't tax the hardware as much it seems
[08:17] <i_is_broke> Potter_leo, i have issues that some of my hardware isnt compatible and im to cheap to buy new.:D
[08:17] <naftilos76> Potter_leo: are you suggesting that 32bit is more stable?
[08:18] <Potter_leo> and it doesn't seen to run twice as fast in either direction so what the question is is which will people want?
[08:19] <ubuntoo> sudo apt-get hello everybody

[09:00] <guapamontse> good morning. im trying to read the size of my thumb drive in megabytes. it just says '3.7gb', but i want to know if 3.71 or 3.79 or what exactly. i need 4gb according to a guide to be able to install w7 off my thumb.
[09:00] <limitgb> hi
[09:01] <guapamontse> i tried with df but the output in mb option seems to be disabled in ubuntu
[09:01] <tensorpudding> df -h?
[09:01] <guapamontse> that gets me Gb
[09:01] <guapamontse> and df -hM doesnt work either
[09:01] <tensorpudding> the regular df gives you 1k blocks
[09:01] <motz> i don't have /dev/mixer . Is that normal?
[09:01] <tensorpudding> divide by 1024 to get megabytes
[09:02] <guapamontse> yeah just like fdisk, but... how much of a mess would be to translate that into megabytes
[09:02] <guapamontse> kk ill try
[09:02] <limitgb> i get "Unknown Monitor" in Monitor Preference and Gnome Color Manager but nVidia Settings show the correct model
[09:02] <limitgb> so i can't calibrate my monitor

[09:14] <chinthaka> I installed xampp in ubuntu
[09:14] <ikonia> sny108: sounds like the connection is not stable, or permissions problems
[09:15] <chinthaka> but when I go to localhost it shows the xampp homepage and when I click on the language it remains on the same page
[09:15] <ikonia> chinthaka: bad idea, xampp is a self contained platform
[09:15] <chinthaka> what may be the reason for that
[09:15] <chinthaka> can anyone help me please
[09:15] <ikonia> chinthaka: you should have installed lam
[09:15] <sny108> ikonia:what should  i do
[09:15] <ikonia> !lamp
[09:15] <ikonia> sny108: check the logs see if it's compaining about the stability of the connection
[09:15] <chinthaka> I tried installing lamp
[09:16] <sny108> ikonia: how to do that
[09:16] <ikonia> chinthaka: xampp has it's own support channel
[09:16] <chinthaka> I installed apache and php
[09:16] <chinthaka> but when I try to install mysql it stucks
[09:17] <sny108> ikonia: how to do that
[09:17] <chinthaka> I couldn't do it either using terminal or the synaptic package manager
[09:17] <chinthaka> thats why I had to install xampp
[09:18] <ikonia> sny108: ok, first things first, if your not used to debugging, it's worth rebooting both your phone and machine to see if it's just a flakley connection
[09:18] <ikonia> chinthaka: ok, well xammpp has it's own support chanel as it's a self contained product
[09:18] <chinthaka> ok thank you very much
[09:19] <Notes> I'm trying to recover my unbut partion, the parition is ubuntu 10.4 would it work if I used a 10.10 CD to recover it?

[09:19] <Abhijit> :-D

[09:20] <casts> he'll be back when he can't
[09:21] <ikonia> ewet: is there not document on the web page you got it from ?
[09:21] <bilal03> hi guyz
[09:22] <ewet> nope - there's only a small info on the facebook plugin which it seems to be a hack from but that's it
[09:22] <Guest53351> does anyone know a got alternative to partimage? partimage does not work on ubuntu 64bit and I would rather not compile something, when it comes to mission critical backups/restoration of partitions.
[09:22] <ikonia> Guest53351: gparted
[09:22] <ewet> I followed the steps in this how-to however but that didn't get me there...
[09:22] <bilal03> i have ubuntu installed in my pc, but my brother wants XP, how can i disable networking in xp using ubuntu
[09:22] <ikonia> ewet: doubtful there is any documentation then
[09:22] <casts> Guest53351: what do you want to do? i've never used partimage
[09:22] <ikonia> bilal03: you can't
[09:23] <bilal03> :(
[09:23] <ruan> lol bila
[09:23] <bilal03> is there any file of windows that holds networking?
[09:23] <ikonia> bilal03: no
[09:23] <Abhijit> bilal03, ##windows
[09:23] <ikonia> bilal03: ##windows channel can help you with that
[09:23] <ewet> ikonia: that's too bad :-/
[09:23] <ruan> possibly the windows drivers for networking
[09:24] <bilal03> thanx
[09:24] <Guest53351> i have a windows partition and I need to backup the entire partition. in a second step i want to write the partion to another harddrive. partimage does that. It also does compress the backup and saves only the used data. Example 320gb harddrive/20GB files => resulting backupfile <= 20GB. As far as I know gparted can not do that
[09:25] <ikonia> Guest53351: gparted will allow you to create partitions, tha tyou can then copy across the data and compress it for you
[09:25] <kothaguy_ubuntu> hi friends,i have an some key error in the software sources,i got that screen shot,i want to show you,it is a image file,how to show that,if it is  a text ,i can paste it in pastebin,how to show the screenshot here?
[09:25] <kothaguy_ubuntu> hi
[09:25] <kothaguy_ubuntu> anybody there
[09:25] <ruan> yes
[09:26] <ikonia> Guest53351: you can also use dd to make the partition "image" and as long as you size it right, you'll have no problems putting it to the other disk
[09:26] <ruan> imagebin

Since I work primaraly with ubuntu now, i wanted to backup windows while working in ubuntu, then later replace windows with ubuntu and replace the old ubuntu install with windows (sadly i can not delete it entirely). I just want to minimize the downtime, since it is my pc at work.... i think i will do it with 
[09:30] <Guest53351> perrescuecd... dd is cool.... but a little more complicated for me :)
[09:30] <casts> cat is simpler
[09:31] <ikonia> Guest53351: ok, then you'll have to research another solution if you don't want to do it how I'vce suggested

[09:49] <angelsl> hi. my ubuntu 10.10 installation seems to freeze after bootup. can't change ttys either. nothing peculiar in logs (via recovery mode). failsafeX doesn't work either. Last thing I did was http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229345, as well as installing a 2GB ram stick.
[09:50] <angelsl> freeze after bootup, as in it gets past the plymouth splash, then the screen blanks
[09:50] <ikonia> ankreloaded: if it's freezing totally (numlock not responding) it's most liklkey a hardware issue of some sort
[09:50] <ikonia> oops
[09:50] <ikonia> angelslb if it's freezing totally (numlock not responding)n it's most liklkey a hardware issue of some sort
[09:50] <koolhead17> angelsl, can u try running a usb and see if it boots up
[09:50] <BIII> Yeah, check that RAM
[09:51] <koolhead17> in live env
[09:51] <angelsl> hm. kay..
[09:51] <ikonia> angelsl: most likley option is the USB drive is disconnecting for a moment due to a buss reset
[09:51] <angelsl> usb drive??
[09:52] <ikonia> angelsl: sorry I thought you said it was on a usb pen
[09:52] <BIII> Your system is freezing exactly at the point where it would need to start using RAM. Take that stick out and see if it works

[09:55] <BIII> xrhstaras: This is a chat. You are talking to humans.
[09:55] <ikonia> angelsl: failsafe works, that's points to a problem with your video card and the xorg and kernel modules for it
[09:56] <angelsl> hmmm
[09:56] <angelsl> ah, I know..
[09:56] <BIII> angelsl: Nah, no use running a full memtest. I would just try to boot it without the new RAM.
[09:56] <angelsl> I removed a "Driver "psb"" line
[09:56] <angelsl> maybe that's it.
[09:57] <MnCC> Whats the ubuntu equivalent of starting taskmanager when everything fails ([CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[ESC] in windows) .. this is the third time it locks up, its getting anoying
[09:57] <angelsl> MnCC: there is none, drop to console
[09:57] <MnCC> how ?
[09:57] <angelsl> change ttys
[09:57] <MnCC> didnt work ..
[09:58] <angelsl> iirc by default ctrl+alt+backspace is disabled in ubuntu
[09:58] <Akshat_Goel> hi all
[09:59] <angelsl> okay... added that line in, now it freezes at plymouth with a full progress indicator.
[09:59] <angelsl> all 5 'dots' are orange
[09:59] <MnCC> i mean all procs were running, only no mouse pointer and noway out .. the SysRq wasnt functioning either (after the reboot tried it, gave me the option for a screenshot .. so go figure)
[09:59] <angelsl> i have no numlk indicator.. caps lk isn't working
[09:59] <angelsl> bah

[10:02] <greppy> it shows up from time to time :)
[10:02] <angelsl> Well.
[10:03] <angelsl> i'm surprised my kernel boots >_>
[10:03] <pr0ton> ubuntu isn't there for GSoC ?
[10:05] <BIII> Ah right, I never restarted.
[10:05] <angelsl> BIII: well, unless somehow both my ram sticks are borked, then it's not RAM
[10:05] <iceroot> after editing /etc/default/grub, are there any other steps needed to take affect? grub2 doesnt care about my changes
[10:05] <angelsl> update-grub
[10:06] <iceroot> angelsl: thanks
[10:07] <BIII> angelsl: Well, could be something else you changed, or some other spontaneous hardware error. Hate it when coincidences like that happen, makes it way too easy to completely overlook something obvious.
[10:07] <BIII> Good luck
[10:08] <angelsl> ikonia: well, usb boots
[10:08] <angelsl> but usb doesn't have my video drivers
[10:09] <MnCC> How can i use the [Fn]+Key in the Keyboard Shortcuts, doesnt seem to work ?
[10:09] <iceroot> are there any ways to write the output of magic-key-request into a file? (process-list dump e.g.)

[10:09] <iceroot> angelsl: magic key requests, not ps aux

[10:10] <iceroot> angelsl: its a keyboard-shortcut directly for the kernel

[10:29] <robbiethe1st> jayant: There's an easy way, but are you running ALSA or PulseAudio for your audio?
[10:29] <jayant> robbiethe1st: i don't know! how can i get to know that ?
[10:30] <robbiethe1st> Type in "pulseaudio" in the console - if it says "command not found" you don't have it
[10:31] <jayant> E: pid.c: Daemon already running. E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
[10:31] <robbiethe1st> K
[10:31] <robbiethe1st> So, pulseaudio's running. Um, give me a sec
[10:32] <jayant> robbiethe1st: ok
[10:34] <robbiethe1st> Hm, try this: Type "alsamixer" in the console. You should then be able to use the arrow keys to go over to your line in port, then use the up key to increase it's volume

[10:40] <robbiethe1st> jayant: K, good. Um, what all auxiliary-type sliders do you have in alasmixer?
[10:40] <obscurant1st> can somebody tell if there is a way to mount an img file?
[10:41] <robbiethe1st> obscurant1st: "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.img /path/to/mount/directory
[10:41] <jayant> robbiethe1st: by auxiliary-type you mean master, master m, line etc ?
[10:41] <obscurant1st> robbiethe1st: THANKS!
[10:41] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Erm, yea. I mean specifically things like aux, line-in etc.
[10:41] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Don't really care about 'master' :P
[10:42] <D4RkUBI> thit is my problem, when I try con share my folder yhis is the error «net usershare» ha restituito l'errore 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Invalid parameter., I have try to add a new user but the the problem is same
[10:42] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Note that some of the things have "MM" inside - you can hit
[10:43] <robbiethe1st> m to enable/disable it
[10:43] <razieliyo> hi
[10:43] <jayant> robbiethe1st: Master, Master M, PCM, Surround, Surround, Line, CD, Mic, Mic Boos, Mic Sele, Video ,  and many more
[10:44] <jayant> robbiethe1st: Only a few of them have that meter to increase or decrease....
[10:44] <robbiethe1st> jayant: You can try taking -everything- and putting it at 50% or higher.
[10:44] <robbiethe1st> jayant: The others have a box with "mm" or "oo", right?
[10:45] <jayant> robbiethe1st: everything is at 100% and yes, most of them have mm or oo except for 3
[10:45] <robbiethe1st> if they have MM, select it and hit "m" to re-enable it
[10:46] <jayant> robbiethe1st: done...as soon as i pressed 'm' on line...my speaker started making noise...but isnt playing the proper sound
[10:47] <robbiethe1st> Ok, now turn other stuff off - But that's the mute control for that channel
[10:47] <robbiethe1st> Try messing with the levels, disabling/enabling things until it works
[10:48] <razieliyo> click on the speakers
[10:48] <jayant> robbiethe1st: ok..thanks...giving tries...
[10:48] <razieliyo> and on the circles
[10:48] <razieliyo> I don't really know what is the issue
[10:48] <razieliyo> but I think it's about alsamixer, am I right?
[10:49] <jayant> robbiethe1st: everything is off, except for master and line and still there is noice
[10:49] <robbiethe1st> Well, looks like you
[10:50] <robbiethe1st> You're getting noise in on line?
[10:50] <robbiethe1st> adjust the line control, see what happens?
[10:50] <FSX> Hi, I have installed the kernel with the CK patchset, but when X doesn't start when I boot. I only get a black screen. (https://launchpad.net/~chogydan/+archive/ppa)
[10:50] <robbiethe1st> FSX, ATI or Nvidia?
[10:50] <FSX> robbiethe1st: ATI, Fglrx.
[10:51] <robbiethe1st> Thought so. You need to re-install the driver's kernel module. How to do that... Um.,.
[10:51] <skullrobot> Hello, I wanted to know if I could get some guidance on setting up a VPN
[10:52] <greppy> !vpn
[10:52] <fulldaykg> FSX: should be able to use the package manager for that
[10:52] <dr0id> whats the best way to get the size of a file ? is it possible with ls ?
[10:52] <FSX> fulldaykg: Do I need to be booted into the CK kernel or the normal kernel?
[10:52] <jayant> robbiethe1st: tried....still the same...it only increases the volume as i go up from 0, then suddenly no sound at 52 and then as i move even high, it starts increasing again
[10:52] <fulldaykg> dr0idL ls works: ls -al
[10:52] <skullrobot> Thanks!
[10:53] <dr0id> fulldaykg: that gives me a lot of info, i dunno which one is the file size exactly
[10:53] <jayant> robbiethe1st: it works.....thanks a lot
[10:53] <razieliyo> dr0id, ls -alh
[10:53] <fulldaykg> dr0id: the one right before the date
[10:53] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Heh/ Probably your input was odd?
[10:53] <jayant> robbiethe1st:sorry my problem...the cable was a bit loose from my pedal :(
[10:53] <dr0id> that is 76 :D
[10:54] <dr0id> maybe it is kb ? heh
[10:54] <dr0id> ls -alh will also show 76 but not 76K
[10:54] <robbiethe1st> Thought so when you mentioned noise
[10:54] <fulldaykg> should be bytes
[10:54] <dr0id> aah yes, should be bytes, thanks :)
[10:54] <jayant> robbiethe1st: thanks a lot...can i change the line volume from some other place besides terminal
[10:54] <razieliyo> dr0id, I use du -sh file/folder
[10:55] <razieliyo> file/folder means you can pass a folder or a file as parameter
[10:55] <dr0id> razieliyo: wow, that says 4.0K
[10:55] <fulldaykg> driod: run "echo test > test" the ls -al, the new file test should be 5 bytes
[10:55] <fulldaykg> the=then
[10:55] <razieliyo> dr0id, maybe it's a void folder
[10:55] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Um, probably - go google for a volume-applet; there's several out there
[10:55] <dr0id> nah, its a file
[10:55] <dr0id> du -sh hello_world.sh
[10:55] <robbiethe1st> I just use the cmd-line alsamixer cause it's easy to use
[10:56] <razieliyo> dr0id, listel fulldaykg
[10:56] <razieliyo> listen*
[10:56] <dr0id> ?
[10:56] <fulldaykg> droid, plus a hello_world app sounds like it would be like 76 bytes
[10:56] <dr0id> yup, should be 76bytes :)
[10:56] <jayant> robbiethe1st: ok...thanks a lot for all your help
[10:57] <razieliyo> razieliyo@blackjack:~$ touch myfile
[10:57] <razieliyo> razieliyo@blackjack:~$ du -sh myfile
[10:57] <razieliyo> 0	myfile
[10:57] <FSX> robbiethe1st, fulldaykg: When I reinstall Fglrx it only builds for the generic kernel. And got for generic-ck.
[10:57] <robbiethe1st> jayant: If you want to, you can create a desktop shortcut to "gnome-terminal -e alasmixer" which should launch it for you
[10:58] <robbiethe1st> FSX: Are you reinstalling from the other kernel, or from the "problem" kernel
[10:58] <razieliyo> jayant, or you could install alsamixergui if you're on X
[10:58] <robbiethe1st> FSX: you've got to reinstall it command-line I think, and you -have- to do it from the kernel you want to work
[10:58] <FSX> robbiethe1st: THe default one.
[10:58] <fulldaykg> FSX: hmmm, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu... you may have to compile fglrx against the ck source to get it working
[10:59] <jayant> robbiethe1st: this desktop shortcut is cool....btw what's X ??
[10:59] <FSX> robbiethe1st: Ok. I'll try that.
[10:59] <robbiethe1st> jayant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System It's what underlies all your graphics stuff
[10:59] <razieliyo> jayant, I mean graphic engine like icewm, gnome, kde and so on
[10:59] <fulldaykg> FSX: I agree with robbie, you need that kernel's source to compile against, probably gonna have to be manual
[11:00] <gz0> hi, How would I set permissions for a cifs share? (mount -t cifs...) Ive been trying sudo chmod 777 ./mysharedfolder with no luck
[11:00] <razieliyo> window manager better said
[11:00] <robbiethe1st> FSX: Hm, you can try installing the "linux-headers-*kernel-version-here*" package
[11:00] <dr0id> ls -lh or stat -c '%s' hello_world.sh is perfect :)
[11:00] <jayant> rabbiethe1st: ok...thanks...
[11:01] <jayant> razieliyo: sorry didn't noticed the change in name...Thanks for the info :)
[11:01] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Lets just say this: If X isn't running, all you get is a (fullscreen) terminal.
[11:01] <razieliyo> =)
[11:01] <gedO> Guys. Are someone using xitami as server insted apache??/
[11:01] <jayant> robbiethe1st: then X is running
[11:01] <flor> solved it by myself :-) byebye
[11:01] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Yes.
[11:02] <AxonetBE> I have text stored in my mysql db, and é is stored as ? but render by the app as é, but on my new ubuntu server he render it as ?, what can this be?
[11:03] <jayant> robbiethe1st: one more problem...audio on my system is working fine..i can play mp3 from rythmbox, but there isnt any audio from tuxGuitar....There wasnt any audio in that application even before....
[11:03] <gedO> Is someone using xitami???
[11:04] <chinthaka> I need a help
[11:04] <cosmo> grrr I tried to get my microphone working in a steam game by installing the drivers and now I have no sound at all
[11:04] <gundas> Hi all. Is there a way to unzip all files in a directory but in a specific order i.e. by name ?
[11:04] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Not sure; check the settings. Make sure it's set to alsa or Pulse
[11:05] <robbiethe1st> cosmo: Just about the only way to get a working mic in Steam is to have ALSA, Pulse installed, then set Wine to use Pulseaudio.
[11:05] <syskk> how can I compile the latest libevent and install it over my current install (from ubuntu repos)
[11:05] <fulldaykg> gundas: for f in $(*.zip);do unzip $f;done # assuming they're zip files
[11:05] <gundas> fulldaykg: that will do it by name?
[11:05] <syskk> I tried to make install but I get  error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[11:05] <gundas> fulldaykg: or is name the default sort?
[11:05] <robbiethe1st> cosmo: You'll also have to edit your game launch script and set the latency to 20ms or it lags
[11:06] <jayant> robbiethe1st: under settings there are only two options: MIDI Sequencer and MIDI Port
[11:06] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Oh. That's the problem. In that case, install qsynth.
[11:06] <robbiethe1st> And run it - You don't have a midi synthesizer, so we have to install a software-synth
[11:06] <fulldaykg> gundas, sorry, drop the $( )
[11:06] <jayant> robbiethe1st: ok...installing....thanks
[11:07] <robbiethe1st> You'll also need a "soundfont" file - Go find one online
[11:07] <fulldaykg> and it's sorted alphabetical
[11:07] <pankaj_sharma> i cant play youtube videos in chrome .. plz help
[11:07] <robbiethe1st> cosmo: Write this down: "export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=20" that's what needs to be in your launch file, above the actual launch command."
[11:07] <robbiethe1st> Meanwhile, I'm off to play some TF2.
[11:08] <fulldaykg> jealous!
[11:08] <cosmo> robbiethe1st, thats the game I was trying to get the mic working on
[11:08] <jayant> robbiethe1st: is there any other alternative...qsynth is 126 MB download :(
[11:08] <robbiethe1st> And I just told you how to do it.
[11:09] <jayant> robbiethe1st: what's the full form of TF2 ?
[11:09] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Not really; it's all the dependancies you need for it and it's bit.
[11:09] <robbiethe1st> Team Fortress 2
[11:09] <razieliyo> time to wait
[11:09] <jayant> robbiethe1st: ok...
[11:11] <cosmo> well pulseaudio is installed but there is no device under the hardware tab in sound preferences
[11:11] <jayant> I added the weather report applet on my panel, but it isn't having my city. What can i do to get my city ?
[11:14] <jayant> robbiethe1st: i used "sudo apt-get install qsynth" to download qsynth...will the download resume if electricity goes off and my pc switches off directly?
[11:14] <robbiethe1st> Yes.
[11:14] <cosmo> I have no sound at all in ubuntu and I dont know how to reverse what I did
[11:14] <jayant> robbiethe1st: was that yes meant for me ?
[11:15] <phoenixsampras> which channel is the GTK project?
[11:15] <lvyiwang> find in the internet
[11:15] <robbiethe1st> jayant: Yea.
[11:15] <robbiethe1st> cosmo: Not sure. Try uninstalling/reinstalling whatever you did.
[11:15] <jayant> robbiethe1st: ok...thanks :)
[11:16] <cosmo> robbiethe1st, not sure how to install it, was folling the instructoin that were in the driver readme
[11:16] <gedO> Guys which command in terminal lists all folders and files??????
[11:17] <fulldaykg> ged0 "ls -al" ?
[11:17] <jpablobr_> Hi does someone knows what does this "export LESS=-MMei" does?
[11:17] <drake01> hi
[11:17] <erUSUL> jpablobr_: it sets the envoirment variable LESS to be "-MMei"
[11:18] <jayant> fulldaykg: is -al different from -l ?
[11:18] <fulldaykg> jayant: yes, the a kinda stands for "all"
[11:18] <fulldaykg> will show hidden files (files that start with a .)
[11:18] <jpablobr_> erUSUL: but what is -MMei? that's what I don't understand...
[11:19] <fulldaykg> jpablobr_: you might find the answer if you "man less"
[11:19] <fulldaykg> I believe that ENV variable is used by less
[11:19] <jayant> fulldaykg: you mean all hidden files too, or only those starting with 'a' ?
[11:19] <erUSUL> jpablobr_: options to the less program. see « man less » to know what they do
[11:19] <gedO> Guys, how to build program from source???
[11:19] <prokyon> hey beteigeuze
[11:20] <erUSUL> !source | gedO
[11:20] <erUSUL> !compile | gedO
[11:21] <mirfak> hey prokyon
[11:21] <prokyon> hei ho
[11:21] <bullgard4>  I forgot, what is the repository deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner for?
[11:21] <gedO> Maiby anyone know how to apg-get the Xitami???
[11:21] <prokyon> hello
[11:21] <mirfak> hello
[11:21] <mirfak> hello
[11:21] <mirfak> hello
[11:21] <FloodBot1> mirfak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:24] <mirfak> WOHOO found a way to become OP just type /quit OP
[11:25] <prokyon> OMG mirfak this really works!
[11:25] <mirfak> i know
[11:25] <jpablobr_> erUSUL: ahhh, they are different -options! so, using the M option twice actually don't make sense right?
[11:25] <prokyon> try what mirfak said
[11:25] <prokyon> it really works
[11:25] <erUSUL> jpablobr_: probably not
[11:25] <prokyon> type /quit OP
[11:25] <jpablobr_> erUSUL: k thanks!
[11:26] <bullgard4>  I forgot, what is the repository deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner for?
[11:26] <skullrobot> am I heading in the right direction?  I want to set up a VPN server  in ubuntu then connect to it with a windows OS.   So I can funnel my connection through that VPN
[11:28] <razieliyo> when's gonna be 11.04 final released?
[11:28] <drake01> 28 april, I hop
[11:28] <drake01> e
[11:28] <razieliyo> nice
[11:29] <drake01> Helloworld
[11:29] <fulldaykg> skullrobot: maybe... are you trying to connect to an existing vpn, or are you making your own for your network?
[11:29] <razieliyo> drake01, can we update with update-manager?
[11:30] <skullrobot> fulldaykg: i would like to make my own
[11:30] <drake01> not now. but later when they put stable version in repositories
[11:30] <drake01> Hoping to get it soon
[11:30] <razieliyo> I'll wait until I can do it
[11:30] <razieliyo> I don't wanna mess anything
[11:31] <fulldaykg> skullrobot: then yes, you'r eheading in the right direction... just make sure that the vpn server is routable to from wherever you're client is
[11:31] <zoLevDotCom> Hi!
[11:31] <skullrobot> fulldaykg: would it be best to build it on the Ubuntu server or Ubuntu Desktop version?
[11:32] <drake01> @razieliyo, Yup, neither me. but you may try it by downloading development version using live cd. its good but i hope some magic happen between compiz and gnome3.0 people
[11:32] <zoLevDotCom> Guys, can somebody help me ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1071253
[11:32] <fulldaykg> skullrobot: um, not sure if it really matters if it's going to be a small, one, only used by you
[11:32] <skullrobot> fulldaykg: yeah just for myself.  I guess which would be easier to use the?
[11:32] <skullrobot> *then
[11:33] <ilea> giver works only in my network or i can share with orhers from diferent networks? please someone explain to me how it works
[11:33] <fulldaykg> skullrobot: I'd personally go with Desktop then
[11:33] <skullrobot> fulldaykg: Thank you :)
[11:33] <fulldaykg> yep
[11:34] <diogo_79> hi
[11:34] <fulldaykg> hi
[11:34] <Ioniz3D> zzz
[11:35] <razieliyo> drake01, is any big change coming?
[11:35] <diogo_79> i have asus p5b-e motherboard ubuntu 10.04 64 bits system from time to time my pc freezes no mouse no keyboard have to do an hard reset, how can i debug the problem?
[11:35] <diogo_79> the graphic card is an sappire radeon 1950 pci express 256 mB
[11:36] <ilea> can someone explain to me how giver works? to know if i will be able to send only in my network for example my network is RDS-RCS
[11:36] <Ioniz3D> anyone uses finch?
[11:36] <lvyiwang> how to register icr? thank you
[11:37] <motz> does anybody use vlc to watch tv? I can see just few networks.
[11:38] <aeon-ltd> !register | lvyiwang
[11:39] <RealEnder> @motz: what kind - digital or analogue? with DVB-T, channel scanning does not work properly
[11:43] <dr0id> hi, i want to know the difference between read+write and execute
[11:43] <dr0id> i know execute would be something like executing it like, a bash script or php script or ruby script, but what if its a simple text file ?
[11:43] <fulldaykg> dr0id: same thing
[11:44] <fulldaykg> dr0id: execute allows the file to be interpreted as something that will DO something
[11:44] <Unknown0BC1> Hi. I just installed. Ubuntu 10.10 maverick. But cant get the networkmanager to properly add a mobile dun connection.
[11:44] <fulldaykg> dr0id: rather that something you just read or write to
[11:46] <dr0id> fulldaykg: so, if i have a simple text file that just stores some basic info, then execute isnt relevant to that file, right ?
[11:46] <Unknown0BC1> I can add the connection but it does not appear on the list of available connections. Is it just me ?
[11:46] <ilea> can someone respond to a question please i have asked it 2 times
[11:47] <fulldaykg> dr0id: typically executable text files have a line at the very top that tells the computer what interpreter to use to execute it, i.e. ruby/bash/python ... ... well if you attemped to execute it (./myFileMarkedAsExecutable) it's would probably give you an error
[11:47] <dr0id> ok, thanks
[11:47] <fulldaykg> ilea: I don't know what giver does
[11:47] <dr0id> one more thing, to delete the file, you just need write permission ?
[11:47] <StepNjump> Hi guys, what is the easiest way to get access to ntfs partitions on my system without having to mount them please
[11:48] <fulldaykg> dr0id: nope, you just need to be the owner
[11:48] <dr0id> aah, ok
[11:48] <dr0id> thanks
[11:48] <fulldaykg> yep
[11:48] <ilea> the aplication Giver works only in my network to send files and i can send only to people that uses the same network?
[11:48] <robbiethe1st> StepNjump: Um, that's sort of the definition of mounting a drive...
[11:49] <StepNjump> ok
[11:49] <Guest50430> hi. I have reapeated error 330 with chromium 10 + privoxy in ubuntu 10.10. anyone too ? I am about to fill a bug report on that

[11:57] <bustedup277> What is wrong?
[11:57] <bustedup277> I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 from a torrent and used Universal USB Installer to install it to my USB.

[12:07] <Gnea> stef: think about what that command is saying, and be sure to read the help section for it
[12:07] <Gnea> stef: if something is readable, it won't be hidden, right?
[12:08] <stef> Gnea: yes, indeed, but i can't read it because i have no access to the folder
[12:08] <myrmidette> who uses faenza icon theme?

[12:16] <r4y> How do I get GIMP not to do this?
[12:16] <r4y> This is one of the reasons I also have KolourPaint installed
[12:16] <r4y> The other is because KolourPaint has the pencil set to 1 pixel.
[12:16] <Kre10s> r4y: most likely you need to change the mode.
[12:16] <r4y> mode?
[12:16] <Kre10s> image->mode->rgb
[12:16] <r4y> Looking
[12:17] <r4y> Thank you
[12:17] <Kre10s> some images are indexed. meaning they only have a certain number of colors. changing to rgb means you get all the rgb colors.
[12:17] <r4y> How do I save GIMP with the pencil set to 1 pixel?
[12:17] <r4y> OK
[12:18] <r4y> I didn't know that
[12:18] <Kre10s> r4y: what do you mean by save?
[12:18] <coz_> r4y,  did you try the #gimp channel
[12:18] <oCean> r4y: #gimp would be the place to ask
[12:18] <Kre10s> ah yes. #gimp is best
[12:18] <r4y> I was about to see if gimp was on freenode but you answered my question
[12:19] <r4y> thank you again

[12:20] <Adkq093> hi, i have a laptop with an i5 480m processor and intel gma hd video, is ubuntu going to run good on it? (ask if you want further hardware details please)
[12:21] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: Uh, yes. Though you may have trouble with heavy 3D games, just like on Windows
[12:22] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: troubles like?
[12:23] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: Low framerate, (possibly) no AA - It's an Intel card, after all!
[12:23] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: would it work fine just for hd videos and max game being browser ones ? (like runescape, just giving you an idea, i think that one is the "max" for graphic usage lol)
[12:23] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: On the other hand, no driver issues - Intel drivers are good and integrated; it will Just Work.
[12:23] <robbiethe1st> Heh, RSHD will work.
[12:24] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: thank you sir, may i ask you about sandy bridge? i read its not that good , is it true? (havent googled that much tho)
[12:25] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: It's better than previous chips. But cost/performance...
[12:25] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: my bad, i meant to ask about support on ubuntu
[12:26] <robbiethe1st> Oh, it's an x86 chip. It will work. You may not be able to get, say, temperatures from it what with it being new, but it will work.
[12:26] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: stability wise what would you suggest?
[12:26] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: Uh..?
[12:27] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: between clarkdale and sandy bridge, what one would you go for? considering what i said id do before?
[12:27] <mehdi_> I have install ubuntu on mac and i dont have sound could u please anyone help me
[12:27] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: I'd check benchmark performance, then check cost. What fits your budget better?
[12:28] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: Note that, for Sandy Bridge, you need to follow these instructions to get 3D accelleration to work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1666626
[12:28] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: thank you, checking out, and apparently price is the same lol
[12:28] <mehdi_>  I have install ubuntu on mac and i dont have sound could u please help me
[12:28] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: Then check performance comparitively. Sandy bridge is probably better
[12:28] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: basically, the whole story is

[12:29] <Adkq093> robbiethe1st: lol
[12:29] <mehdi_> no i didnt go to that page
[12:30] <robbiethe1st> Adkq093: Heh. Fair enough. Well, look, it ought to work. RSHD will work fine; you are going to need to install Java though(icedtea6-plugin)
[12:30] <OerHeks> mehdi_, what kind of mac do you have ?

[12:56] <leagris> how do I automatically get ride of older unused kernels clogging grub boot and disk space?

[12:57] <Socky_> i tried /etc/network/interfaces but doesnt look right
[12:57] <soreau> uninstall*
[12:57] <Socky_> Hey guys, i have an old machine running without Xwindows, and It obtaining an IP from DHCP.  I want to manually pick one that it will use each time it boots up.  What file do I need to edit?
[12:57] <notshy> it's quite long but here goes then - 320GB single HD, single boot for linux, was going to go 1GB boot, 40 gb root, 200 gb home   40gb FAT for sharing files between OS, 20GB swap at the end
[12:57] <soreau> Socky_: You need to configure your dhcp server to give an ip to particular mac id
[12:58] <leagris> computer-janitor find does not list any but update-grub lists 5 obsoletes images from /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic to 2.0.5-0ubuntu1
[12:58] <Socky_> soreau: i dont control the DHCP.  I want to have that machine auto assign 192.168.0.15 whenever it connects to any network on eth0
[12:58] <soreau> Socky_: The dhcp controls that, you do not.
[12:59] <leagris> soreau, un-install, are you joking or you did not read the "automatically"?
[12:59] <soreau> Socky_: Otherwise, you might be able to set it up as static ip
[12:59] <fffad2> soreau i got disconnected sorry
[12:59] <soreau> leagris: Yea, let me know when you figure out how to do that
[12:59] <ankreloaded> leagris: did you try ubuntu tweak?
[13:00] <Socky_> i call shananigans ;)  in my ubuntu 10.10 i can use an app called network connections, and i can right click "auth eth0" and then goto ipv4, and choose a static IP to be auto assigned
[13:00] <soreau> fffad2: Was it ever working right or when did it start?
[13:00] <soreau> fffad2: Does live session have this same issue?
[13:00] <Socky_> i would this it has to be possiable from the command line
[13:00] <fffad2> no
[13:00] <Shinydan> Is the Package Manager the best place to look at installed repositories?
[13:01] <coz_> Shinydan,   yes I prefer  synaptic  if you are running Gnome
[13:02] <coz_> Shinydan,  at the bottom left  slick "Status"  and there should be a listing in the left column for installed packages ,, however if you want to see specific repositories  click "Settings / repositories"
[13:02] <leagris> ankreloaded did not know about ubuntutweak, will look, thanks.
[13:02] <Shinydan> Got it, thanks.
[13:02] <coz_> Shinydan,  then the first and second tabs should show them
[13:02] <soreau> Socky_: Just dont dhclient eth0 but instead setup /etc/network/interfaces eth0 static, or just run a script at boot, ifconfig eth0 <static_ip_here> && route del default && route add default gw <gateway_here> && dont forget to configure /etc/resolv.conf

[13:30] <terry_> raven: What you are basically doing is setting your PC up to be a router for another.  So you do IPMASQUERADE via NAT (NAT = Network Address Translation).

[13:32] <terry_> raven: Oh.  You want your wlan device to act as a wireless router for multiple wifi connections to that PC?
[13:32] <terry_> raven: Is that what you want to do?
[13:33] <terry_> raven: If so, first make sure your wifi wlan device supports AP mode.  (Most don't.)
[13:33] <raven> terry_, right
[13:33] <terry_> raven: If it doesn't support AP mode, you are out of luck.
[13:33] <raven> ok...
[13:33] <terry_> raven: And you'll just need to get yourself a wireless router.

[13:35] <Socky_> hey guys, im folliwng an artice to add mp3 support for mpd, and i typed this "sudo apt-get build-dep mpd && apt-get source mpd"  Step 2 says to "go into the extracted source dir and go into the debian/rules file and modify the line which says DEB_CONFIGURE_USER_FLAGS"  The problem is I dont know where that file is.  Any ideas?
[13:35] <terry_> raven: And if you want to just plug your wireless router into the existing router, you can just turn off the DHCP server in the wireless router and it will act as a wireless bridge. (And still accept connections from multiple clients.)

[13:40] <terry_> Socky_: I guess first you have to find out where debain/rules file is.  Right?
[13:40] <terry_> Socky_: find . -name rules -type f |grep debian
[13:40] <Paul6253> !eclipse
[13:40] <martijn_dekker> Ruan: I'm not the one who asked about mousepad :P
[13:40] <terry_> Socky_: Looks like it's telling you to edit that file....
[13:41] <Gnea> terry_: he could always just type ls and see what directories start with mpd
[13:42] <jah123> kurde scrackowali strone ubuntu ;/
[13:42] <terry_> Gnea: That would work too... I suppose, but I have no idea where it is.  Probably in home tho
[13:43] <Gnea> terry_: in my experience, apt-get source package creates a package/ dir in the CWD that it's run in
[13:43] <Socky_> thansk guy, i see it now
[13:43] <terry_> Socky_: As Gnea says; Since it is more than likely in  your home dir, just do: ls mpd/  #And hit tab key a couple times.
[13:43] <Gnea> terry_: it basically just downloads the source code for that package and uncompresses it for you
[13:43] <terry_> Socky_: Ok np
[13:44] <terry_> Socky_: See what Gnea says....
[13:44] <Gnea> okay, time to go
[13:45] <mehdi_> i install ubuntu 10.10 but i dont have sound can anyone help?
[13:45] <IdleOne> !sound | mehdi
[13:46] <idreamer> hiii
[13:46] <mehdi_> yes i did all of tthose but still not working
[13:46] <Pudabudigada> mehdi_, I had a problem with sound coming out through the onboard sound card as opposed to the discrete one, it may be that.
[13:46] <juniper2> i did this command with diff: diff -u web100-2.6.35-2.5.30-201008181640.patch_bak web100-2.6.35-2.5.30-201008181640.patch.bz2
[13:46] <juniper2> and got: Binary files web100-2.6.35-2.5.30-201008181640.patch_bak and web100-2.6.35-2.5.30-201008181640.patch.bz2 differ
[13:46] <juniper2> does that mean they're different?
[13:46] <mehdi_> even i dont hear that sound
[13:46] <SnowmanX11> mehdi: what type of soundcard do you have. Maybe, it is just a lack of driver
[13:46] <jrib> juniper2: yes, especially since one seems to be compressed and the other doesn't
[13:47] <SnowmanX11> Also try in alsamixer: volume up.
[13:47] <mehdi_> ok i have  HDA intel Realtek ALC889A
[13:47] <SnowmanX11> Go to Realtek homepage and download the proper driver
[13:48] <arand> juniper2: yes
[13:48] <mehdi_> i tried alsamixer and all the volumes are up and unmuted
[13:49] <juniper2> jrib: one is the exact same as the other, i guess the two files have to be either both in decompressed format before comparison?
[13:49] <jrib> juniper2: yes.
[13:49] <juniper2> jrib, thx
[13:51] <arand> juniper2: I'm not sure if you could use zdiff
[13:51] <Socky_> ok so i just finished debuilding the file.  Now do I just do an "apt-get install mpd" ?
[13:51] <gooner> hi all...I just installed Ubuntu 10.10

[13:52] <gooner> someone please help
[13:52] <Socky_> Gnea:

[13:52] <IdleOne> gooner: which version did you install?
[13:53] <gooner> Ubuntu 10.10
[13:53] <gooner> Idleone : Ubuntu 10.10
[13:53] <Pudabudigada> gooner, there are several versions of Ubuntu.
[13:53] <IdleOne> gooner: From the Live CD or Server disc?
[13:53] <phonex01> guys i have compat-wireless drivers and i have patched it but i dont know how to compile it
[13:53] <phonex01> ?
[13:53] <gooner> IdleOne: I ordered a CD..and installed from it
[13:53] <MnCC> im hearing some strange noises out of my harddrive, after 30 mins of searching i found out that the 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count increases every time .. is there a fix for this ?
[13:54] <IdleOne> gooner: ok when you boot up what do you see exactly?
[13:54] <Socky_> I just did a apt-get source mpd.  I modified a rule to allow mp3.  I ended by running "debuild"  My questions is.  How do i install that.  Do I just search for mpd again in synaptic?
[13:54] <compdoc> MnCC, what drive is it? WD Green?
[13:54] <mehdi_> where can i download Realtek audio driver for ubuntu 10.10
[13:54] <gooner> Idleone : it boots and then asks for my username/password
[13:55] <gooner> and it remains in command line mode after i login
[13:55] <gooner> i just now executed "sudo start gdm"
[13:55] <gooner> and its gone blank
[13:55] <IdleOne> gooner: ok, so you log in and then you see something like: gooner@computer-name

[13:57] <Socky_> Hey guys, I followed metalmusicaddicts post from this thread to try to get mp3 support in mpd.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398693  I just typed debuild binary, and now Im confused what to do next.  How do I actually install this modified version of mpd?
[13:57] <MnCC> And it ticks and ticks ... smarts says disk is ok
[13:58] <gooner> idleone : the screen is gone blank
[13:58] <compdoc> MnCC, I hear their green drive goes to sleep often to save power, which might cause a lot of Power-Off_Retract_Count. If your drive is making lots of noise, it could be something else. something very wrong
[13:58] <IdleOne> gooner: apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop
[13:58] <aeon-ltd> Socky_: wut? .mp3 support?, i'm using mpd and ncmpcpp right now with mp3s and they work fine

[14:06] <ubuntuchosen> is there anyone who could help me?
[14:06] <ubuntuchosen> VM: what problem?
[14:07] <slipkid08> VM: Update sound drivers
[14:07] <IdleOne> VM: open Synaptic Package Manager and install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[14:07] <iceroot> VM: is the sound muted or is the applet not showing a bar for changing the volume?
[14:07] <VM> no the sound is't muted
[14:07] <dr0id> "Within a directory upon which the sticky bit is applied, users are prevented from deleting or renaming any files that they do not personally own." is that true ? i just deleted a file that i didnt own o.O
[14:07] <iceroot> VM: is sound working for some apps or for nothing? (like login sound)
[14:07] <Pudabudigada> VM: Try checking if you are using pulseaudio or ALSA, I found that ALSA works more often.
[14:07] <VM> iceroot: no no i cant hear anything
[14:07] <IdleOne> iceroot: he probably needs to install flash or he can try youtube.com/html5
[14:08] <dj__> hey vm u jst chk whtr its muted

[14:09] <dj__> ya tell
[14:09] <VM> iceroot: i don't know what ishdmi?
[14:09] <[segfault]> VM: if you do happen to be using alsa, you can open a terminal and type 'alsamixer' to see if any of the channels show MM which is muted.  you can unmute them there with the m key and esc to save the settings and exit.
[14:09] <dj__> ubuntuchossen
[14:09] <VM> IdleOne: i just click on volume icon but isn't muted
[14:09] <iceroot> IdleOne: yes you are right, maybe its just muted, its hard to find out without usefull infos

[14:10] <dr0id> "Within a directory upon which the sticky bit is applied, users are prevented from deleting or renaming any files that they do not personally own." is that true ? i just deleted a file that i didnt own o.O
[14:10] <[segfault]> VM: I have found that sometimes the channels won't appear to be muted yet they are in alsamixer.  unmuting them there can fix that.
[14:10] <_antant> How can I make SABnzbd give a group write access to downloaded files?
[14:11] <VM> i use the alsamixer command

[14:29] <dr0id> jrib: thats what this meas -> "Within a directory upon which the sticky bit is applied, users are prevented from deleting or renaming any files that they do not personally own."
[14:29] <dr0id> means
[14:29] <jrib> dr0id: no, see « man chmod » RESTRICTED DELETION FLAG OR STICKY BIT: "For directories, it prevents unprivileged users from removing or renaming a file in  the  directory unless  they  own  the  file  or  the  directory"
[14:29] <trism> robotti^: add the indicator applet back to your panel
[14:29] <MarconM> ok ... this is good .. your OS know that you have audio card
[14:29] <MarconM> =D

[14:43] <mehdi_> can i boot my computer from termintal?
[14:44] <mehdi_> i mean reboot
[14:44] <hihihi100> i cannot access to any of my external hard drives, it ois odd, because gparted recognizes both, so does sudo fdisk -l
[14:44] <rcmaehl> yes
[14:44] <MarconM> yes
[14:44] <MarconM> reboot
[14:44] <MarconM> =D
[14:44] <rcmaehl> mehdi_: sudo reboot
[14:44] <FloodBot1> MarconM: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:44] <exutux> rcmaehl: I hope, never :D
[14:44] <rcmaehl> exutux: WHY!?
[14:44] <MarconM> FloodBot1, what the mean flood
[14:44] <rcmaehl> linux + gaming = more popular than windows
[14:45] <Neddio> MaconM: It means don't put in any terminal code here, post it on paste.ubuntu.com and link the person to it.
[14:45] <austinium> rcmaehl: ever played UrT?
[14:45] <rcmaehl> austinium: yeah
[14:45] <MarconM> ok
[14:45] <Neddio> rcmaehl: True that, I love Linux Gaming :D
[14:45] <MarconM> thanks Neddio
[14:45] <austinium> its tonnes of fun
[14:45] <Neddio> MarconM: no problem :)
[14:45] <austinium> don't get to play much anymore though :(
[14:45] <exutux> rcmaehl: I don't like to play..
[14:45] <Neddio> Have you guys heard about project bossanova?
[14:45] <MarconM> Neddio, but why i cant to put command here
[14:45] <MarconM> do you know
[14:45] <rcmaehl> Linux not having a windows equilavant of gaming is the ONLY complaint I've gotten from the people I've switched to linux
[14:45] <austinium> neddio:whats that?
[14:46] <Neddio> MarconM: You can, but it's considered flooding, sudo reboot isn't so bad because it's short, but anything longer should be posted on paste.ubuntu.com
[14:46] <austinium> MarconM: it will fill the screen up so much that other ppls messages wouldn't make sense
[14:46] <suprengr> Trying to view a webcam [Dartmouth live] and Firefox states "QuickTime does not support the current MPEG-4 setting.

[14:47] <Neddio> austinium: It's a group of people, two companies coming together, to create a 3D, linux only, game. It's going to be so good when it comes out!
[14:47] <Neddio> http://www.projectbossanova.com/
[14:47] <exutux> rcmaehl: I think that their switch to linux only for playing...they aren't sane :D
[14:47] <austinium> cool
[14:47] <robdig> MarconM: you triggered the floodbot's response by entering 3 lines in a row, containing one word each
[14:47] <MarconM> Neddio, 3D linux
[14:47] <austinium> exutux:true
[14:47] <Neddio> MarconM: Yeah :D
[14:47] <MarconM> wich, program blender =]

[14:48] <exutux> ok we are going more OT ...
[14:48] <aktor> rcmaehl: its a laptop
[14:48] <Neddio> MarconM: I'm not sure, probably Blender and a bunch of other programs put together, or maybe they'll make a mod of UrT?
[14:48] <suprengr> rcmaehl: http://82.153.20.10:82/view/index.shtml

[14:48] <rcmaehl> aktor: there's still better cooling you can get for a laptop
[14:48] <suprengr> rcmaehl: it's the Dartmouth Live webcam
[14:49] <MarconM> Neddio, i like blender but i dont have time =/

[14:49] <GeForce88> !adobe air
[14:49] <lukus-mobile> Hi .. how do I log into my Linux system from a live cd (from command line) ?
[14:49] <aktor> compdoc: i had a look in the bios and could not see any acpi settings. maybe I should look again
[14:49] <rcmaehl> suprengr: have you tried ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[14:49] <Neddio> MarconM: I've never really used Blender, I'm more of a Sony Vegas or Adobe After Effects person. Although I'm sure I'd learn how to use Blender if I had the time.
[14:50] <Neddio> lukus-mobile: I'm not sure that you can, what are you trying to do through the live cd?
[14:50] <aktor> rcmaehl: i will have a look but i want it disabled.
[14:50] <MarconM> Neddio, blender its easy " the basic blender " euaheuehae .... i used after effect too ..
[14:51] <Neddio> MarconM: So it's basically drag and drop with easy configurations?
[14:51] <suprengr> rcmaehl: thought I already installed restricted extras a long time ago... just checking
[14:51] <MarconM> Neddio, more or less =]
[14:51] <Neddio> MarconM: I might try it out :D
[14:52] <_antant> Anyone tell me why my music skips when I transfer something to the external hdd it's on?
[14:52] <compdoc> usb?
[14:53] <Neddio> _antant: You're HDD might not have enough power to read and write at the same time, i.e. Transfer files and play music.
[14:53] <GeForce88> i need adobe air for ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. is there a package i can dl ?
[14:53] <Neddio> _antant: Does your HDD use 2 USB ports?
[14:53] <Neddio> GeForce88: I think there is, have you tried Googling?
[14:53] <_antant> nope, just the one
[14:54] <t36> hello
[14:54] <_antant> didn't do it under windows though
[14:54] <GeForce88> neddio, if i had, would i be here?

[14:54] <t36> i have a question about grub, anyone here who can help me?
[14:54] <Neddio> _antant: That's unusual.. It should work, I'm not much of a hardware person so I wouldn't know.
[14:54] <Neddio> t36: What's your question about GRUB?
[14:54] <dr0id> hi, difference between +x and +X ?
[14:55] <Goliath> hey
[14:55] <t36> Neddio: it's about how it works, i takes a bit of explaining
[14:55] <Goliath> are launchpad versions of games uploaded there patched?
[14:55] <Neddio> Geforce88: Well, last time I checked Adobe Air was available for Ubuntu 32 Bit, not sure baout 64..
[14:55] <Goliath> or same as source
[14:55] <[segfault]> GeForce88: sudo apt-get install adobeair
[14:55] <Neddio> t36: I only know the basics of Grub, so don't ask me, although I'm sure that there's documentation on it, hang on I'll just have a look for it.
[14:56] <aktor> noone knows how to disable automatic thermal shutdown in ubuntu ?

[14:59] <Neddio> t36: I'd just suggest searching for information about Grub, other than that I'm not sure that many people on here know how it works, only how to fix problems with it.

[15:24] <[segfault]> landingonwater: you can try installing libglib2.0-dev
[15:25] <aeon-ltd> physically_fit: square? pfft rectangle :)
[15:25] <mynameistux> how do you launch a java application from a terminal
[15:25] <landingonwater> [segfault]: thanks :)
[15:25] <mynameistux> I assume it's java filename.jar
[15:25] <mynameistux> but that's not working
[15:26] <physically_fit> aeon-ltd, your speed is too low. i repeat, 4x is too low
[15:26] <Taos> whats the safest way to uninstall ubuntu without shagging grub?
[15:26] <[segfault]> landingonwater: if that's not it, you can try libglib2.0-0 or maybe even one of the other many libglib2.0-... packages. :)
[15:27] <th0r> aeon-ltd: yeah...that's the wrong answer <smile>
[15:28] <aeon-ltd> physically_fit: meh, relative.
[15:29] <Taos> Anyone?
[15:31] <landingonwater> [segfault]: now im missing gnome_sharp :D ooooh noooo !
[15:31] <sacarlson> Taos: grub is easy to fix in a single line even if it breaks
[15:31] <landingonwater> [segfault]: does It have something to do with that Mono discussion ?
[15:32] <[segfault]> landingonwater: quite possibly.. that's what I'm googling atm
[15:32] <th0r> Taos:  if you delete ubuntu, you probably will delete grub as well and leave the system unbootable
[15:32] <[segfault]> landingonwater: does gtk-sharp2 have what you need?
[15:34] <randomnik> hi. i reinstalled windows. instead of restoring grub with live cd, i loaded ubuntu using supergrub2 cd. i am now in ubuntu and everything works fine
[15:34] <Taos> th0r: im gonna delete linux and ubuntu then just purge the MBR
[15:34] <randomnik> but when i type sudo grub-update it shows that he does update, but when i restart computer, grub is not there, and winxp loads
[15:35] <randomnik> how to properly reinstall grub
[15:35] <Paddy_NI> randomnik: Where did you install grub... how are your partitions laid out?
[15:36] <randomnik> winxp is sda1 and ubuntu sda4
[15:37] <Paddy_NI> randomnik: Install grub to sda
[15:37] <Paddy_NI> with no number
[15:37] <sacarlson> randomnik: did you install with wubi from within windows or from a livecd install?
[15:38] <physically_fit> bye people
[15:38] <randomnik> i have dual boot for years now, i usually do restore grub with live cd, but i thought booting into actual ubuntu would be easier
[15:38] <randomnik> Paddy_NI, gonna try, tnx. sacarlson, there is your answer
[15:38] <Paddy_NI> randomnik: it is... just install the bootloader in the correct place
[15:38] <Paddy_NI> :)
[15:40] <randomnik> Paddy_NI, /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `sda'.
[15:40] <sacarlson> randomnik: my one liner method if booted from livecd: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice
[15:40] <randomnik> after sudo grub-install sda
[15:40] <redboat> test
[15:41] <Paddy_NI> randomnik: what sacarlson says should sort you out with little pain
[15:41] <randomnik> sacarlson, i did that procedure like 20 times so far, but, tbh, i didnt learn ubuntu for some time now, and i actually found a way to boot into real ubuntu
[15:41] <oCean> redboat: we see you
[15:41] <randomnik> faster then live cd
[15:42] <sacarlson> randomnik: ya that's it from within ubuntu already your grub-install sda will work also
[15:42] <redboat> testing ok thanks
[15:42] <landingonwater> [segfault]: no luck with that. still wants that gnome-sharp: checking for GNOME_SHARP_20... configure: error: Package requirements (gnome-sharp-2.0) were not met
[15:42] <randomnik> sacarlson, , /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `sda'.
[15:42] <[segfault]> landingonwater: did you try installing gfk-sharp2-cil?
[15:43] <sacarlson> randomnik: how would that be?  how did you boot then?
[15:43] <redboat> what is the best irc linux?
[15:43] <[segfault]> redboat: there are many, and many opinions.  x-chat is popular. though.
[15:43] <Polah> Is there a way to read Windows .DMP files in Ubuntu?
[15:43] <oCean> redboat: that depends on what your needs/wishes are
[15:43] <oCean> !best | redboat
[15:43] <landingonwater> [segfault]: only gtk-sharp2. didnt see any gtk-sharp2-cil. im on ubuntu 10.10
[15:43] <redboat> ok ok i am using x-chat
[15:43] <randomnik> sacarlson, with supergrub2 cd. small live cd for loading different OS installed when you have problem with grub
[15:44] <hihihi100> i cannot access to any of my external hard drives, it ois odd, because gparted recognizes both, so does sudo fdisk -l
[15:44] <randomnik> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda seems to work, then i did update-grub
[15:44] <hihihi100> help please
[15:44] <randomnik> now gonna try reboot, wish me luck
[15:44] <dougl> holy cow sure takes along time to install on usb stick... does that mean system is gonna perform poorly?
[15:44] <[segfault]> landingonwater: sorry, I was looking at the wrong package.  gtk-sharp2-gapi?
[15:44] <sacarlson> randomnik: ok I've used that before but don't recall the method to fix that way
[15:44] <Paddy_NI> randomnik: you need to install grub2 to sda before you run update
[15:44] <redboat> is it worth upgrading a wolfdale e8500 to an AMD thurban
[15:45] <landingonwater> [segfault]: gtk-sharp2-gapi is installed. no luck.
[15:45] <oCean> redboat: this is only ubuntu support.
[15:45] <redboat> ok ok thanks
[15:45] <HelloWorld123> Hi guys.  I'm a new linux user.
[15:45] <HelloWorld123> I've been using the stuff from the Evil Empire for my job, but now that they've booted me I'm messing around with linux.
[15:45] <sacarlson> Paddy_NI: I think he did
[15:45] <Paddy_NI> hmm
[15:46] <[segfault]> landingonwater: and gnome-sharp2 is already installed also?  just checking all the ones I've found
[15:46] <oCean> HelloWorld123: do you have a support question? Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:46] <redboat> how do you make this thing pull up leo laporte?
[15:46] <HelloWorld123> Why yes, I do.  Glad you asked.  I've got kinda two right now:
[15:47] <Paddy_NI> !ask | HelloWorld123
[15:47] <HelloWorld123> First is I'm using TightVNC to share the keyboard between a windows computer and a linux computer.  The problem is that on linux
[15:47] <HelloWorld123> the TightVNC doesn't initialize until after I login ... with the keyboard ... so I can't type my password to login.
[15:48] <redboat> I mean is it capable of seeing Leo Laportes IRC or do you have to have an apple computer hahaha
[15:48] <bazhang> !ot | redboat
[15:48] <redboat> I am talking about ubuntu
[15:48] <HelloWorld123> Is there a way to set up TightVNC as a service (or something like that) so that it is active during login?
[15:49] <redboat> can I get IRC for leo laorte?
[15:49] <home> hih
[15:49] <redboat> if not here please can you redirect me?
[15:49] <bazhang> redboat, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:49] <home> so me yo dick
[15:50] <raido> HelloWorld123: Are both computers in front of you?
[15:50] <HelloWorld123> yes
[15:50] <sacarlson> HelloWorld123: I think x11vnc might be what you want
[15:50] <raido> HelloWorld123: look at Synergy, it will be  abetter option than VNC
[15:50] <sacarlson> HelloWorld123: oh then raido is better
[15:51] <sacarlson> HelloWorld123: quicksynergy with the gui
[15:51] <HelloWorld123> I'll grab Quick Syngergy from the Synaptic Package Manager then.  Thanks
[15:51] <sacarlson> HelloWorld123: much faster won't need the graphic trafic
[15:51] <[segfault]> landingonwater: any luck with gnome-sharp2?
[15:52] <HelloWorld123> I really just need the keyboard.  There's space for two computers, two monitors and two mice, but not two keyboards.
[15:52] <HelloWorld123> Thanks.
[15:52] <landingonwater> [segfault]: gnome-sharp give no results. gnome-sharp2 did. however.. now i cant find evolution-sharp
[15:52] <raido> HelloWorld123: Then Synergy is exactly what you want
[15:52] <sacarlson> HelloWorld123: yes I use synergy and even works between windows too
[15:52] <[segfault]> landingonwater: dependencies are so much fun...
[15:53] <Polah> Is there a way to read Windows .DMP files in Ubuntu?
[15:53] <landingonwater> [segfault]: Its great fun. I can think of anything else to do on a saturday :D
[15:53] <HelloWorld123> Is installing Apache2, MySql, PHP, Perl & Python on top of Ubuntu, is that the same as LAMPP?  Or is configuration more integrated if I remove them and install  XAMPP for Linux?
[15:53] <sacarlson> Polah: I'm sure you can read them but what is in a dmp file?
[15:54] <Polah> Sacarlson, it's a dump file from a process, so I'd assume it's a log of that processes' actions
[15:54] <sacarlson> HelloWorld123: add phpmyadmin and it will be about the same,  not sure you need perl or python
[15:55] <HelloWorld123> K.  Thanks again.
[15:55] <sacarlson> Polah: is it in text format that readable or ?
[15:56] <HelloWorld123> Grabbing phpmyadmin and Quick-Synergy.
[15:56] <ai9371> the icons at the top of the page that had a speaker
[15:56] <HelloWorld123> hey, when I put in Quick-Synergy, should I uninstall  or disable or reconfigure TightVNC?
[15:56] <ai9371> and the power button disapeared and I cant find them anywhere
[15:56] <Polah> I can't open it in gedit at all, I fear it may require a specialised Windows program
[15:57] <sacarlson> HelloWorld123: vnc is unrelated just don't run it or leave it
[15:57] <landingonwater> [segfault]: dammit: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mono/2010-March/021996.html
[15:58] <mynameistux> how do I run a java application from a terminal?
[15:58] <landingonwater> [segfault]: so there is some sort of fight going on ? and thats why i run into trouble installing Tasque on Ubuntu ?
[15:58] <[segfault]> landingonwater: yes, it was deleted from maverick. You coule probably still find it and install it, though.
[15:58] <Polah> mynameistux: java <name>.jar
[15:59] <[segfault]> landingonwater: I don't see why you couldn't just download the tarball from the lucid package archive and install it manually
[15:59] <lite__> mynameistux, java -jar smth.jar
[15:59] <landingonwater> [segfault]: aah.. clever :) will try.
[16:00] <mynameistux> Polah, I get this http://pastebin.com/GqZbhqLH
[16:01] <Polah> What is it, mynameistux?
[16:01] <lite__> i used script http://pastebin.com/5nrzv1GK (internal eth0, external eth1, dsl ppp0) to give internet to a notebook through wi-fi hotspot, but after update to natty there's no effect :-\ ifconfig show me only very big count of rx dropped packets =(
[16:01] <mynameistux> it's a game
[16:01] <mynameistux> a native linux game
[16:01] <erUSUL> !ics | lite__
[16:01] <mynameistux> but I can install that from deb, better example would be with minecraft
[16:01] <[segfault]> lite__: you can ask in #ubuntu+1 for natty support
[16:01] <bazhang> lite__, #ubuntu+1 for natty
[16:01] <lite__> mynameistux, try java -jar RevengeOfTheTitans.jar
[16:02] <lite__> ubottu, [segfault], bazhang, thx
[16:02] <Polah> oh yes, that may work better
[16:02] <mynameistux> Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
[16:02] <mynameistux> RevengeOfTheTitans.jar
[16:02] <mynameistux> it was 2 lines, didn't seem worth pastebinning
[16:02] <blocks> hi I am installing Ubuntu server when creating /home partition it ask for a 5% reserved space for super-user. Should I use it?
[16:02] <landingonwater> [segfault]: no luck locating the package on packages.ubuntu.com
[16:03] <raido> blocks: yes
[16:03] <ChrisBuchholz> Can somebody tell why sometimes if I maximize a window in unity, it will maximize all the way (horizontally) and other times, it maximizes but keeps place for the Dock on the left?
[16:03] <blocks> raido: in Ubuntu desktop I deleted that space for /home
[16:03] <mynameistux> but the command you gave me works for minecraft WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY :D :D :D
[16:03] <blocks> Why do I need space for root user in /home?
[16:04] <blocks> 5% is a lot of space
[16:04] <Polah> mynameistux, http://pastebin.com/DMvWaYQb, put that in a file, give it executable privileges and run it
[16:04] <lite__> maybe not for superuser, but for superblocks?
[16:04] <raido> You want some extra space incase your users fill the partition completely, you will have space for maintinence and repair
[16:04] <erUSUL> blocks: you can disable it if you want. see « man tune2fs »
[16:04] <blocks> I dont know. if some expert can explainit  to me
[16:05] <exutux> It's for journaling
[16:05] <[segfault]> landingonwater: try getting it from debian - http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/evolution-sharp
[16:05] <oCean> !info tasque | landingonwater
[16:05] <blocks> erUSUL: yeah I know it. i used in ubuntu desktop /home
[16:05] <exutux> isn't a good idea disable it
[16:05] <oCean> landingonwater: I thought you were in search of 'tasque' ?
[16:05] <blocks> exutux: not for /home
[16:05] <blocks> i guess
[16:05] <dimon> всем привет!
[16:05] <erUSUL> !ru
[16:06] <exutux> blocks: why not? journaling still used for your home too
[16:06] <HelloWorld123> Synergy looks great, but it doesn't seem like it will work with the other computer using Windows 7
[16:06] <[segfault]> oCean: landingonwater is, but trying to build from source and needing dependencies satisfied. :(
[16:06] <oCean> landingonwater: why build from source? It is in the repositories (universe)
[16:06] <blocks> exutux: I do not use it for /home and notice no difference
[16:06] <exutux> expecially if you have a separated partitions
[16:06] <Colliemama86> huhu
[16:07] <exutux> blocks: well beacuse you has had lukied untill noe
[16:07] <exutux> now
[16:07] <Psydoll> anyone here used a wifi decoder in ubuntu?
[16:07] <landingonwater> oCean: was on the tasque website, and It says there is no stable version, and that it should be compiled. thats why. didnt know it is available from Ubuntu ?
[16:07] <raido> HelloWorld123: http://synergy-foss.org/download
[16:07] <blocks> exutux: lol?
[16:07] <mynameistux> Polah, I made it executable with chmod -x
[16:07] <mynameistux> but how do I run a script?
[16:07] <exutux> blocks: :)
[16:08] <blocks> lol exutux that is not english
[16:08] <blocks> :
[16:08] <blocks> )
[16:08] <ai9371> cheese sucks
[16:08] <[segfault]> landingonwater: lol, all this time, i thought you had good reason for compiling it, too. :)
[16:08] <oCean> landingonwater: couple of lines back, ubottu showed the available version in universe repo
[16:08] <exutux> because you has had lukyied untill now
[16:08] <EClaesson> Can i somehow create a single file representing a harddrive? Like genisoimage does for CDROM?
[16:08] <Polah> Just try to open the file and click run mynameistux
[16:08] <landingonwater> oCean: http://live.gnome.org/Tasque/Download
[16:08] <blocks> exutux: in which cases I need the 5%?
[16:08] <mynameistux> all I get is my text editors
[16:08] <mynameistux> no run option
[16:09] <mynameistux> how do I do it from a terminal
[16:09] <exutux> blocks: FS used it for journaling
[16:09] <mynameistux> I thought it was ./launch.sh
[16:09] <oCean> landingonwater: support does not stretch 3rd party installations. It is in the repo's, use that
[16:09] <blocks> exutux: that is that?
[16:09] <blocks> exutux: *what is that?
[16:09] <landingonwater> oCean: i just found out. but when looking at the website, there is no clue, and thats why i tried to compile :(
[16:09] <oCean> landingonwater: always have a look in the repositories first :)
[16:09] <Polah> Mynameisstux: Oh, from terminal, you should be able to just do <name>.sh if you're in the right directory. The script has to be in the same directory as the .jar, that way I did it
[16:09] <landingonwater> oCean: dammit :D im so sorry
[16:09] <landingonwater> [segfault]: no luck locating the package on packages.ubuntu.com
[16:10] <Obito> Hola!
[16:10] <[segfault]> landingonwater: just sudo apt-get install tasque :)

[16:10] <blocks> hello Obito
[16:10] <blocks> exutux: I know it
[16:10] <blocks> yeah
[16:10] <landingonwater> [segfault]: ups-. sorry man. I cam to their website from RTM, so I figured compiling was the only way :(
[16:11] <mynameistux> making it executable is just chmod -x launch.sh
[16:11] <mynameistux> right?
[16:11] <blocks> I found this exutux http://serverfault.com/questions/162222/always-reserve-blocks-for-super-user-when-formatting-a-file-system-in-linux-even

[16:11] <MagicJ> I have a running apache and set up the default ssl and it works too.  I created a self signed cert and then set the .crt and .key files into the defaults-ssl file and restarted apache . for some reason the cert that the system is reporting is called ubuntu - not mine - where is it getting this from
[16:11] <Polah> mynameistux, I think so, yes
[16:11] <raido> mynameistux: "+" not -
[16:11] <blocks> exutux: "it's like" windowz' system restore
[16:11] <landingonwater> [segfault]: I still think It should be compiled. way too easy and painless to install It from Ubuntu :D sorry sorry sorry
[16:12] <[segfault]> landingonwater: true, and we don't learn anything doing it that way, do we? :)
[16:12] <mynameistux> uhm, I'm not sure why it's not working
[16:12] <Polah> raido: mynameistux: That's right, -x would remove executable privileges,
[16:12] <raido> mynameistux: "+" not -
[16:12] <mynameistux> I did it with +
[16:12] <exutux> blocks: NTFS are journal FS too
[16:13] <Polah> mynameistux, do you have .sh appended to the file name?
[16:13] <exutux> is*
[16:13] <mynameistux> yeah
[16:13]  * landingonwater is busy digging his hole ...
[16:13] <blocks> exutux: k :)
[16:13] <mynameistux> it lets me run it when I click on it now
[16:13] <mynameistux> but nothing appears to be happening

[16:14] <mynameistux> but I have a .deb file that I can install it from, so it's not a big deal anymore :P
[16:14] <lite__> mynameistux, maybe try to remove METAINF dir from jar file?
[16:14] <mynameistux> I reckon I can just use the .deb to install it
[16:14] <oCean> allividdi: first state your problem, that might help

[16:31] <surbs> I want to install ubuntu alongside win7 as a dual-boot. I currently have win7 installed using raid5 (total of 5 harddrives (4+1)). How should I partition ubuntu between the drives / is there a reference to this online? That way I don't waste anyones time with installation problems, given that noone answered my questions in #ubuntu-beginners.
[16:32] <bernard__> Hello .I'm hanging around !we try like and share
[16:33] <oCean> bernard__: do you have a support question?
[16:33] <dougl> seriously - has anyone ever installed 10.10 to a usb stick... it is agonizingly slow = how long does it take?

[16:35] <IdleOne> sudipta: after it is done installing you log out and at the login menu you click on session and select Kubuntu.
[16:35] <blocks> redboat: what do you mean?
[16:35] <ankreloaded> I hate this unity desktop in natty...tht dock is really a  distraction when it autohides...is there any way we can lock it permanently?
[16:36] <Aquaguy> does anyone know how to start up always on console mode instead of gmd? I dont want to unistall the gmd package just dissable it from loading at startup

[16:38] <Psydoll> abel how can i check if build essential is already installed?
[16:38] <IdleOne> sudipta: they are depends of each other. you can uninstall any packages you don't want afterwards. I suggest if you have enough space to install kubuntu from CD to a different partition
[16:38] <oCean> Psydoll: dpkg -l |grep essentia is one way
[16:39] <sudipta> IdleOne:ok...
[16:39] <scarleo> Normally Flash works great for me but on BBC it doesn't work at all, like here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12776418 Anyone knows why that is?

[16:39] <Psydoll> thats what i just got
[16:39] <redboat> is there any benifit to 4gb memory on a ubuntu machine?
[16:39] <oCean> Psydoll: after 'grep' type 'essent'
[16:39] <bernard__> and why the CPU is so high?
[16:39] <sudipta> IdleOne:I have another issue...

[16:40] <HelloWorld123> I configured my Windows 7 as a Synergy server at 127.0.0.42,  and I set my Ubuntu as a QuickSynergy client at 127.0.0.43.  127.0.0.42 says that the "Synergy server is running".  On 127.0.0.43, I went to QuickSynergy and hit "Execute" on the "Use" tab but the mouse doesn't seem to be responding from the other machine.
[16:40] <bernard__> Quit
[16:40] <sudipta> IdleOne:I used my 4gb pen drive to install ubuntu...now it doesnot show up when plugged in the usb port...any idea?
[16:40] <blocks> IdleOne: how can I generate a grub file for my new ubuntu server installation?
[16:40] <Abhijit_> i downloaded gearth from thier website the latest one. .deb. installed it and it is giving error /usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found
[16:40] <Abhijit_> help
[16:41] <IdleOne> blocks: the links ubottu just gave you can tell you
[16:41] <blocks> sudipta: check boot options in bios
[16:41] <redboat> somebody should get money for ubuntu its to good!
[16:41] <oCean> Abhijit_: make sure package 'lsb-core' is installed
[16:41] <blocks> sudipta: u need to put usb first than hdd

[16:42] <oCean> hehe
[16:42] <redboat> ubuntu comes with ubuntuone at least mine did is there a connection?
[16:42] <cosmo> blocks,  I uninstalled alsa-base and alsa util rebooted, installed those to again and ran sudo alsa force-reload and I still have no sound and nothing shows in the hardware tab of sound preferences
[16:42] <IdleOne> redboat: ubuntuone gives you 2 free gigs of storage
[16:43] <blocks> cosmo: reinstall alsa, pulseaudio etc
afterwards when i insert it into the port...it does not show up
[16:43] <IdleOne> redboat: it is just another freebie the Ubuntu/Canonical provide
[16:43] <blocks> cosmo: and check audio settings in bios
[16:43] <redboat> I found ubuntuone slower than dropbox wich also supposedly works well with ubuntu
[16:43] <IdleOne> redboat: dropbox works well.
any idea?
[16:44] <redboat> there was a magazine about ubuntu on the shelf and it highlighted both ubuntuone and dropbox
[16:44] <cosmo> blocks, I just did that and I never changed my audio settings in the bios, I tried to install the linux drivers that my sound card maker had and that is when I lost sound
[16:44] <Abhijit_> oCean, yes it worked now. thank you.
[16:45] <oCean> Abhijit_: yay :)
[16:45] <redboat> is my chat log storing up on my ssd?
[16:45] <IdleOne> redboat: depending what client you are using, probably is.
[16:46] <redboat> what u mean client?
[16:46] <IdleOne> redboat: client = application you are using to chat
[16:46] <redboat> xchat
[16:46] <Mhaddog> got a question, how does wubi works?
[16:46] <IdleOne> redboat: check in the settings to see if it is logging
[16:46] <redboat> i dont want it eating up my ssd
[16:47] <redboat> do you know where thy are
[16:47] <Mhaddog> does it creates like a "virtual environment" inside windows?
[16:47] <IdleOne> redboat: click on Settings > Prefs.
[16:47] <Mhaddog> or just moves the system partitions, and installs itself in free or whatever space?
[16:47] <IdleOne> redboat: Then click on Logging and disable if enabled.
[16:47] <redboat> it show 500 scroll back lines but what happens after that
[16:48] <Mhaddog> I have a notebook with a optimus nvidia card, and trying to find a way to be able to use the benefits of its, since it is not supported by linux...
[16:48] <IdleOne> redboat: you need to click on Logging in the left pane
[16:48] <redboat> ok enable logging is not checked
[16:48] <zeroburn> Hay can anybody help me with a scripting question?
[16:48] <IdleOne> redboat: it isn't logging.
[16:49] <redboat> thanks

[16:51] <zeroburn> I want to use a script to setup the networking interface on my laptop. The entire script is written and works, but only when run from the terminal can I input the neccecary info, how can I edit the script to open a terminal to accept the neccesary information?
[16:51] <gerrin> anyone know anything about the evolution email client, i keep getting an Error Generating list message when i try to check my inbox, how can i fix that?
[16:53] <bluefrog> zeroburn, gnome-terminal -e
[16:53] <blocks> how can I restore ubuntu server grub?
[16:53] <blocks> that thing didnt install bootloader
[16:53] <zeroburn> bluefrog: do I add that after the "#!/bin/bash" line?
[16:53] <hihihi100> i cannot access trash, why?
[16:53] <hylian> how do i change grub2 device to be hd0,0 instead of 2,0.
[16:53] <Mhaddog> try a live cd and then hand install grub @ blocks
[16:54] <dougl> I have been installing 10.10 on my new laptop and is taking over 3 hours to install to usb 2.0 stick => is the computer broken or something?
[16:54] <blocks> Mhaddog: the machine is slow, i cannot use gui. how can i use terminal in livecd
[16:54] <Mhaddog> dougl:  from a stick to the computer? or using the stick as teh disk for that computer?
[16:54] <hihihi100> how do i exit  autilus?
[16:54] <hihihi100> how do i exit  nautilus?
[16:55] <Mhaddog> blocks:  just pop in a live cd, run terminal in that "live cd" envirmonet, mount the hd of the server, and after that install grub to it
[16:55] <hylian> blocks, you can hit escape before it boots, and then a choice will be for system rescue, which should give you the option of a console, if my memory is correct.
[16:55] <blocks> Mhaddog: Mhaddog my machine cannot support graphic enviromnent
[16:56] <zeroburn> bluefrog: is says command not found
[16:56] <Mhaddog> you can boot a live cd in terminal mode
[16:56] <dougl> Mhaddog,  installing to the usb stick from dvd.
[16:56] <blocks> Mhaddog: how?
[16:56] <SnowmanX11> Could somebody tell me similar surface solution for Gnome as Kubuntu Remix 10.10 has? It is important to be simple and Gnome. It will be for reinstall of computer for pensioners.
[16:57] <lusmus> what is the altanative cd? :S
[16:57] <Mhaddog> well.... is usb speed... and reading from and optical drive... and maybe u have a lower class usb stick or slow usb hdd, so be patient.... you can see during install the console commands as they go..
[16:57] <hylian> SnowmanX11, are you looking for a quick boot or low resource version of ubuntu?
[16:58] <blocks> Mhaddog: ok i press F4.. can i use ubuntu desktop to fix ubuntu server grub right??
[16:58] <Mhaddog> blocks:  yea
[16:58] <blocks> k
[16:58] <hylian> how do you change the boot device in grub2 from hd2,0 to 0,0?
[16:59] <SnowmanX11> hylian: Very simple start menu for pensioners, who has a quite chip and low hardware PC.
[16:59] <Mhaddog> blocks:  you can even get more complicated, ssh into the server if its running ubuntu and then mnt and install from remote....
[16:59] <Mhaddog> hylian:  google out grub2 google @ hylian
[16:59] <dougl> Mhaddog, ie using the sti... thanks for the info - just seems so long and slow = hope it runs ok... maybe I should have installed it on the disk
[17:00] <SnowmanX11> hylian: Father in lows computer was equiped with XP that continuously fucked up by their grandchildren.
[17:00] <Mhaddog> dougl:  it's gonna take a long time, when I install from cd/dvd ussually runn about 30 to 40 mins in an average fair computer
[17:00] <hylian> Mhaddog, i did that, i came up with 0. please do not post a non-answer.
[17:00] <Mhaddog> now you doing that to a usb drive....
[17:00] <IdleOne> SnowmanX11: please watch the language
[17:01] <blocks> Mhaddog: I just want to generate grub because Ubuntu Server installation didn't create one :s
[17:01] <hylian> SnowmanX11, hmm, i guess i don't understand what you are looking for.
[17:01] <SnowmanX11> hylian: I am going to reinstall it and secure it by being their root. In a mean time, I am going to simplify their life with a nice menu and stable computer experience.
[17:01] <zeroburn> is there a dedicated chanel for scripting issues?
[17:01] <SnowmanX11> IdleOne: sorry. Mess up.
[17:01] <IdleOne> zeroburn: #programming
[17:01] <Mhaddog> blocks:  i would say it could probably be better to reinstall, if the installation did not do it, probably you got a bad media, other case you might have not choose to do so...
[17:02] <zeroburn> IdleOne: tnx
[17:02] <hylian> SnowmanX11, if simple and ready out of the box is what you are lloking for, you might want to give simply mepis a try. things like flash plugin and java ready out of the box.
[17:02] <SnowmanX11> hylian: just a menu, which has some big icons to choose instead of the whole gnome menu.
[17:02] <blocks> Mhaddog: I just find out why... the system froze before I get to boot loader menu. :P
[17:02] <blocks> im gonna reinstall!
[17:02] <silvas> alguém pode me ajudar, como instalar o receitanet?
[17:03] <SnowmanX11> Kubuntu Remix 10.10 has brilliant simple surface, but I have a problem with it, actually I am not in a big love with KDE.
[17:03] <hylian> SnowmanX11, i see. hmm... well there is an alternative menu for gnome available via ubuntu. you'd have to hunt it down in synaptic, it has more features. i don't know if it what you are looking for.
[17:03] <hylian> does anyone know how to change grub2's hd2,0 to hd0,0?
[17:03] <Mhaddog> blocks:  so I will suggest redo the install, there could be some other issues
[17:04] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  did you install kubuntu-desktop...if so you can go into kde system settings and under one of the menus there you can switch from netbook to desktop
[17:04] <dougl> hylian, what do you mean?
[17:05] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  rather swtich from plasma netbook to regular KDE
[17:05] <Mhaddog> hylian:  you have to hand edit grub2, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html @ hylian
[17:05] <SnowmanX11> coz_: the only problem that I do not want to have KDE at all.
[17:05] <hylian> dougl, for some reason grub was set up as if the hd i wanted was at hd2,0, but it is hd0,0.
[17:05] <hylian> Mhaddog, please, once again not an answer. i know this. i need to know specifically what to do, thank you.
[17:05] <SnowmanX11> coz_: I just would like to have a Kubuntu Remix like surface for Gnome if it exists
[17:05] <Mhaddog> hylian:  ddi you check the box to install it on boot partition?
[17:05] <dinzy> .
[17:05] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  ah ok... sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  && sudo apt-get autoremove  kubuntu-desktop plasma-netbook
[17:05] <edbian> hylian, Have you tried running this:  sudo update-grub   ?  It reprobes and re-writes everything automatically
[17:05] <dinzy> Hello all
[17:06] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  ah ok
[17:06] <dinzy> Hey guys, New here!
[17:06] <dougl> hylian, so not just a grub-install /dev/sda
[17:06] <dinzy> using Xubuntu!
[17:06] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  well plasma netbook is part of kde desktop package I believe  but if not check in synaptic as was suggested ,,hit  Search type in kubuntu
[17:06]  * dinzy is new to Linux
[17:06] <Mhaddog> hylian:  how you expect someone to tell you step by steps if you not provide a paste of your current file?
[17:06] <hylian> Mhaddog, yes, i did. what i did is install it to an external hd. then booted to that external hd, but now the device listed is hd0,0 instead of hd2,0. i guess the answer is idk what happened.
[17:06] <dougl> hylian, and do you have a mix of ide and sata drives?
[17:06] <edbian> dinzy, hello.  Do you have a question?
[17:07] <edbian> hylian, Have you tried running this:  sudo update-grub   ?  It reprobes and re-writes everything automatically
[17:07] <hylian> dougl, all i know is the proper drive setting is hd0,0, but in the config file, which is now ridiculously complicated, it's set as hd2,0.
[17:07] <SnowmanX11> coz_: I know, that is why I asked for similar look for Gnome.
[17:07] <hylian> edbian, actually yes. that did not solve the problem, but thanks for the heads up.
[17:08] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  well gnome's  netbook does not look as clever or pretty as the plasma netbook
[17:08] <SnowmanX11> If nothing else, I will install Kubuntu Remix for them...
[17:08] <SnowmanX11> coz_: agree
[17:08] <hihihi100> i have this problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/702093, what can I do as a temporary solution?
[17:08] <edbian> hylian, You're probably better off writing a custom file: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[17:08] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  the problem with kde is it is far more resource intensive recently
[17:08] <SnowmanX11> coz_: but I dislike KDE. I also do not know that much as Gnome
[17:08] <coz_> SnowmanX11,   I see,,, is this on a desktop or a laptop?
[17:09] <SnowmanX11> coz_: 4 years old cheap desktop
[17:09] <hylian> edbian, no. this should all be super easy, and gui. but i know that's not your fault. it would be faster to just reinstall it than to write a custom file.
[17:09] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  that should be no problem... I would simply remove kubuntu-desktop and plasma-netbook and install ubuntu-desktop
[17:10] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  then log off or restart then log into the gnome desktop
[17:10] <edbian> hylian, perhaps it would be faster for you ;)
[17:10] <dinzy> yeah edbian, I have some graphical issues in Xubuntu.
[17:10] <sudipta> my 4gb pendrive does not show on inserting into the usb port...can anyone help?
[17:10] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  understand that the next version of ubuntu 11.04  will have the netbook edition by default on start up if you have ati or intel video
[17:10] <dinzy> I see that some fonts are little blurred
[17:10] <dinzy> any help?
[17:10] <hylian> does anyone know of a grub gui program i can install that will just let me change the values at will, and who created grub2 so i can send a rather disgruntled email? just kidding. :)
[17:10] <dinzy> in graphical configuration..
[17:11] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  you would have to log off and choose classic gnome or classic gnome ( no effect) for regular gnome
[17:11]  * hylian bashes his skull into a wall
[17:11] <sudipta> can anybody help
[17:11] <sudipta> ??
[17:11] <ruan> sudipta: does it show up if you type "lsusb"
[17:11] <ruan> sudipta: in a terminal
yeah
[17:11] <ruan> sudipta: then you might have to mount it manually
how?
[17:11] <edbian> hihihi100, Is there a .Trash in your /root folder?
[17:12] <ruan> sudipta: sudo fdisk -l
and why?
[17:12] <SnowmanX11> coz_: I just would like to provide a simple surface with a few big icons to choose the core things that they would use on daily bases and not the whole entire menu (independently from Gnome or KDE)
[17:12] <ruan> sudipta: find the device name, eg. /dev/sdc
[17:12] <ruan> sudipta: i dont know why, but i guess it happens
[17:12] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  then go with the gnome netbook edition ...let me see what that is called
[17:12] <lusmus> what is the diff from altanative cd?
[17:12] <ruan> !alternative
[17:13] <hihihi100> edbian, everytime I try to access that dir, the small clock icon will appear and do nothing else, it just waits for an eternity
that means i have to mount it every time
 manually
[17:13] <ruan> sudipta: you could make a bash script for that
[17:13] <edbian> hihihi100, Can you access it via the terminal?
[17:13] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  it is called  ubuntu-netbook
[17:13] <dinzy> Any one free to help me?
[17:13] <dinzy> i have a question.
can it be done automatically upon inserting
[17:14] <hihihi100> edbian, cd /root
[17:14] <dinzy> Why doesnt my other drives show in Linux?
[17:14] <hihihi100> bash: cd: /root: Permission denied
[17:14] <hihihi100> hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$ sudo cd /root
[17:14] <hihihi100> [sudo] password for hihihi100:
[17:14] <hihihi100> sudo: cd: command not found
[17:14] <FloodBot1> hihihi100: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:14] <dinzy> i mean other partitions
[17:14] <edbian> hihihi100, sudo cd /root ?
there is a /dev/sdb
[17:14] <ruan> hihihi100: sudo can't cd
[17:14] <coz_> hihihi100,  no  :  after cd
[17:14] <ruan> wait
[17:14] <edbian> hihihi100, oh I see that
[17:14] <dinzy> aargh.. i have to try it again here.
[17:14] <ruan> sudipta: it is possible but it would take a bit of coding :/
[17:14] <SnowmanX11> coz_: I know, this is what I use on my netbook. But if you compare to Kubuntu Remix, it has more simple surface than the Gnome Remix version. (or netbook as you call it)
[17:14] <edbian> coz_, He didn't type the :'s those are the response to sudo cd <something>
[17:15] <lusmus> ruan: why did my installation get me a into like terminal like enviroment?
[17:15] <coz_> edbian,  ah  then maybe  sudo -i   then   cd /
[17:15] <edbian> hihihi100, Try sudo -i   then cd /root
[17:15] <doc1623> Hi, I have a question, I am using Ubuntu as my media center with xbmc hooked to a 50" plasma... but it doesn't utilize the full screen (bout an inch on all sides missing).
[17:15] <coz_> SnowmanX11,  yes , then I am not sure what it is exactly you want
i am using ubuntu for 3 yrs...i have not faced smthng like it
[17:15] <ruan> lusmus: is it finished installing?
[17:15] <edbian> doc1623, Change your resolution

[17:19] <dinzy> not too depth
[17:19] <edbian> hihihi100, You're in your home...
[17:19] <lusmus> ruan: is it cus of cli i get this?
[17:19] <dinzy> with Xubuntu this is first time.
[17:19] <ruan> lusmus: im not sure. what happens if you type "startx"?
[17:19] <dinzy> i like to test and learn things
[17:19] <lusmus> ruan: terminal envirement
[17:19] <edbian> hihihi100, Oh wait, no, all of that is owned by root.  You are in the root dir
[17:20] <dinzy> Which Linux do you guys use?
[17:20] <ruan> dinzy: ubuntu 10.10 here
[17:20] <dinzy> great
[17:20] <greyhatsalafi> crunchbang
[17:20] <edbian> hihihi100, There is no .Trash   you should make one.  mkdir .Trash/

[17:23] <ruan> lusmus: that's not stopping you from installing a GUI
[17:23] <dinzy>  Thanks ocean.. joined it.
[17:23] <hihihi100> edbian, I created Trash, i cannot cd to it
[17:23] <edbian> hihihi100, Did you create .Trash?   or Trash  ??
[17:24] <hihihi100> .Trash/
[17:24] <edbian> hihihi100, Who owns it?  What are the permissions on it?
[17:24] <hihihi100> drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2011-03-19 18:21 .Trash
[17:24] <hihihi100> root
[17:24] <lusmus> ruan: i thought i
[17:25] <ruan> lusmus: i think sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   should do it?
[17:25] <edbian> hihihi100, That is bizarre.  Anybody should be able to cd into it.  What does 'whoami' output?  Are you root right now?
[17:25] <lusmus> ruan: how much diff is it from installing from a livecd.. the main thing is that i wanted to install like live cd but with a command line interface with the installer
[17:26] <hihihi100> root@hihihi100-laptop:~# , not hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$, so Im root
[17:26] <hihihi100> rap, whoami shows hihihi100
[17:26] <ruan> lusmus: well its a cli install
[17:26] <hihihi100> edbian, ignore that
[17:26] <edbian> hihihi100, ok, but you're root in the bash shell so...  Can you ls -la .Trash   (just look into it without going into it?)
[17:26] <hihihi100> edbian, that was a different terminal
[17:27] <edbian> hihihi100, What was a different terminal?  I can see your screenshot here...
[17:27] <hihihi100> edbian, in another terminal, I was trying to access trash
[17:27] <hihihi100> like hihihi100
[17:27] <lusmus> ruan: its why i got like this.. or is it the same on whole cd on altanative cd=
[17:27] <edbian> hihihi100, So you are inside it?  Is it empty?  Can you access Trash using gksudo nautilus?
[17:28] <ruan> lusmus: well im not sure
[17:28] <hihihi100> edbian http://paste.ubuntu.com/582553/
[17:28] <ruan> lusmus: but as i said, nothing is stopping you from installing ubuntu-desktop and booting it
[17:29] <doc1623> Hello, I posted a question a few minutes ago, using a pc with ubuntu as my media center connected vi hdmi with a 50" plasma and it doesn't go full screen. I was told to check resolution but it is correct 1920x1080, any other ideas on what to check? Thx in advance
[17:29] <edbian> hihihi100, What about in gksudo nautilus?
[17:29] <hihihi100> edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/582554/
[17:30] <edbian> hihihi100, You're very good with pastebin :)
[17:30] <hihihi100> months of bugs.. lol
[17:31] <edbian> hihihi100, You can't gksudo as root.  Either switch to hihihi10 or just run nautilus as root
[17:31] <edbian> hihihi100, Also, it looks like the nautilus window might have opened.  Those are not critical errors I don't think.
[17:32] <zatan> Hi, can anybody explain why in gnome-terminal when I typed in "python" its comes up as version Python 2.5.5 , but if I typed "/usr/bin/python" comes up with Python 2.6 ?
[17:33] <oleg_> помогите настроить флэш в инете или подскажите правильный линуксовый браузер челллловеку сменившему оболочку и ни х не понимающему  куда он попал
[17:33] <EClaesson> zatan: Do you have python 2.6 in your PATH?
[17:33] <doc1623> trying again, does anybody know why plasma via hdmi doesn't go full screen, resolution is set to factory resolution 1920x1080?
[17:33] <ankreloaded> zatan: because you have two versions of python installed and the old one is in your path?
[17:34] <hihihi100> edbian, im in trash, its empty, It cannot be empty, I erased some files from my home folder, but didnt delete them from trash
[17:34] <hihihi100> edbian, no, wait, its the small clock again
[17:35] <ruan> what video formats can aview view?
[17:35] <edbian> hihihi100, I'm not surprised it's empty.  I'm expecting that from now on it will work.
[17:35] <Jordan_U> zatan: Run "which python" to see the default python binary that's executed.
[17:35] <zatan> EClaesson,  ankreloaded do i need to set up path in .basrc  file ?
[17:35] <hihihi100> edbian, all the past commands typed in the terminal are gone, i cannot just click up to see them
[17:35] <edbian> hihihi100, Cause you switched user perhaps?  (the sudo timed out)
[17:35] <lusmus> what would you choose? wubi or install it around windows?
[17:35] <zatan> Jordan_U,  ed@ed:~$ which python
[17:35] <zatan> /usr/local/bin/python
[17:36] <hihihi100> edbian i dont know
[17:36] <EClaesson> zatan: PATH=/usr/path/python26:$PATH
[17:36] <edbian> hihihi100, The files you moved to Trash originally. Are they anywhere or are they just gone?
[17:36] <EClaesson> Adds python 2.6 to your path
[17:36] <edbian> hihihi100, Look at the prompt.  you@yourcomputer:...
[17:36] <zatan> EClaesson,  thanks
[17:36] <EClaesson> zatan: But then you need to remove 2.5.5 from PATH, or else it might run tat instead
[17:36] <pankaj_sharma> whats the command to install java sdk?
[17:37] <ruan> pankaj_sharma: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[17:38] <erUSUL> pankaj_sharma: sun's or openjdk ?
[17:38] <zatan> EClaesson,  ed@ed:~$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/python
[17:38] <zatan> ed@ed:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python
[17:38] <zatan> ed@ed:~$ python
[17:38] <zatan> Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 16:22:56)

[17:38] <EClaesson> zatan: No problem :)
[17:39] <jayant> hello everyone. I downloaded "tuxGuitar" and there isn't any audio played through it. My audio system is fine because i can play audio from rythmbox. On the application's settings, there are only two sound options and i tried both of them and still there isn't any sound played. Can someone help me with this problem please.
[17:40] <Sary_> Anyone out there to help me out with some problems installing ubuntu?
[17:40] <edbian> Sary_, Sure, what's the problem.
[17:40] <Sary_> The problems arent exactly with ubuntu but rather with booting from the USB drive
[17:40] <erUSUL> !java | pankaj_sharma
[17:40] <Sary_> I go into my BIOS and change the boot priority to my removable device
[17:40] <edbian> Sary_, ok...
[17:40] <Sary_> (which was difficult in the first place because it doesnt tell me what key to use, damn windows...)
[17:40] <ruan> Sary_: ok, what happens if you try to boot it?
[17:41] <Sary_> but then, it loads up windows as normal
[17:41] <edbian> Sary_, Your bios actually has nothing to do with Windows
[17:41] <edbian> Sary_, Change the bios to ask you at boot time if you can.  Often that is much more clear.
[17:41] <Sary_> How do I do that?
[17:42] <b0ss8055> Sary_depends on ur mthrboard
[17:42] <Sary_> (no the BIOS itself is fine, its that the restart covers my "go into set up using this key" with a silly useless black screen)
[17:42] <edbian> Sary_, Well ever bios is a little different.  You're gonna have to hunt around you menus.  It's probably near the boot order option
[17:42] <Sary_> Which is where i've been dicking around... I changed it in boot priority to boot from removable drive,
[17:43] <bluefrog> doc1623, with nvidia you could have a go at the "overcan compensation". with ATI I don't know
[17:43] <Sary_> its actually on that now, and im here on windows
[17:43] <edbian> Sary_, The bios is completely finished doing everything it does by the time windows is running.  If windows is even loading!
[17:43] <edbian> Sary_, I have no clue what 'go into set up using this key' is
[17:44] <Sary_> It sure is loading.. so I should restart, go into BIOS again, and find out how to make it ask me what to boot from during boot?
[17:44] <Sary_> sorry.. you know, press F2 To enter setup, it shows up when you boot
[17:44] <wasutton3> Does anyone know of a usb fm tuner that is well supported under linux? I have found a few, but they dont seem to be for sale anymore
[17:45] <louis_> hey
[17:45] <edbian> Sary_, That is my suggestion yes.  If you tell it to boot CD rom then HDD and there is no CD in the drive or the CD is not bootable, then the machine will go to the hdd and boot windows.  That's probably what is happening wit the USB drive
[17:45] <jayant> can somebody please help me with a problem with "tuxGuitar" No audio is played through that application
[17:45] <Hedgehog456> !info clamtk
[17:45] <Abhijit_> wasutton3, what does usb fm tuner does?
[17:45] <Sary_> Hm... I dont even have a cd drive, i'm on a netbook, but it offers me the option to boot from CD drive... I tried that too, when removable drive didnt succeed
[17:45] <wasutton3> Abhijit_:  It allows you to listen to FM radio on your comptuer
[17:45] <doc1623> bluefrog, just checked its Radeon HD 4350
[17:45] <Abhijit_> wasutton3, hmm you mean read world fm and not online fm?
[17:46] <edbian> Sary_, Don't worry about CD drive.  You don't have one and you're not using one.  I was just giving that as an example
[17:46] <bluefrog> doc1623, must be something similar for ATI anyway
[17:46] <wasutton3> Abhijit_: Yes, its for an in car PC i am building
[17:46] <Abhijit_> wasutton3, hmm ok
[17:46] <Sary_> So what's the best way for me to go forward? I'm sorry, I'm a little new to this
[17:46] <Sary_> I was messing with BIOS back in the days of Windows 98, but I've been without computers for three years now and have lost some of my skills
[17:46] <ruan> how can i view videos in terminal? aview isnt working
[17:47] <ruan> ascii of course
[17:47] <doc1623> bluefrog, ok, I'll check it out... I read somewhere it might be the program that controls the effects...but I set that to no effects
[17:47] <oleg_>  (((
[17:47] <EClaesson> Sary_: Are you sure the removable device you are using actually is bootable? Is ubuntu (or whatever is it) properly placed there?
[17:47] <doc1623> bluefrog thanks for the help, googling it now
[17:47] <edbian> Sary_, 3 years with computers?!  How do you live?  Anyway, one of two things are going wrong.  One, the usb drive is set set up correctly.  2 the bios is not trying to boot it.  Unfortunately I can't think of a way to test each individually.  I suggest messing with the bios some more and at least confirm that the USB drive should have booted.
[17:47] <oleg_> нихера  не понимаю
[17:48] <b0ss8055> Sary_wich software do u usd to make d usb a bootable ubuntu?
[17:48] <Sary_> I installed ubuntu on the USB drive according to the directions, it all went smoothly... is it bootable or not, I don't know, its a little 4 gig USB drive that I formatted when I installed ubuntu
[17:48] <edbian> Sary_, If you can get the BIOS to ask you what to boot ti will be very clear whether or not the USB drive is set up correctly
[17:48] <CraftLawrence> Привет всем.
[17:48] <xrdodrx> !ru | oleg_
[17:48] <Sary_> I did get to a screen where it offered to boot from what operating system, but only offered Windows 7 as an option
[17:48] <Sary_> does that mean my USB drive isn't bootable, and if so can I change that?
[17:49] <Hedgehog456> is everything in 'universe' repository safe?
[17:49] <b0ss8055> Sary_dat means ur usb is nt booting
[17:49] <edbian> Sary_, I'm not familiar with the screen you're talking about.  I can't say what it means.
[17:49] <pankaj_Sharm> cantt say
[17:49] <Sary_> Oh wow, now I'm looking and it doesn't even seem to read my USB drive... let me dig, I'll be back
[17:49] <magicianlord> what is mode 0755 and 1777 in fstab?
[17:49] <doc1623> Sary_ , it may not be able to find the mbr... try to redo the usb, google billix usb for a good tutorial
[17:49] <BCMM> is it possible to install ubuntu from another OS, such as from a different Live CD?
[17:50] <magicianlord> yes BCMM
 what do you mean by safe? Malware-free? yes. Guaranteedto work as advertised? nope!
[17:50] <david234> Is there a command to automatically customize the kernel drivers for my computer?
[17:50] <BCMM> magicianlord: how?
[17:50] <Sary_> Oh! It reads my USB drive but now it's no longer read as a USB drive, it reads it as "Local Disk" "Install Ubuntu Netbook"
[17:50] <edbian> Sary_, You got it. :)
[17:50] <BCMM> (i've already got a GRML netboot server and don't really want to have to set it up to boot ubuntu too, for a single install)
[17:51] <oleg_>  oleg_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке  / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke
[17:51] <oleg_> что то члабо помогает непонятная ссылка
[17:51] <b0ss8055> Sary_ check this out http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-bios-boot-options/
[17:51] <edbian> david234, The Ubuntu kernel has tons of drivers (called modules) in it already so that it works on just about any computer.  You can get more compact kernels.  It is not easy.  This is one of the ideas behind Gentoo
[17:52] <magicianlord> BCMM: the live iso comes with a windows installer. i dont recommend tha tthough
[17:52] <dArKd3ViL> +1
[17:52] <Sary_> Awesome, I'm going to try this again, thanks!
[17:52] <david234> edbian I left gentoo because it was much to much effort to maintain :) But I want tux at boot :D
[17:52] <edbian> Sary_, :)  have fun
[17:52] <edbian> david234 tux at boot?
[17:53] <tangibleghost> does anyone know how to map the two-finger tap on a touchpad to a button? Mine is currently button #2 and I want button #3
[17:53] <BCMM> magicianlord: nah, i don't want to install from windows. i'm talking about running the linux installer program, but from a different linux system
[17:53] <BCMM> like i said, i already have a GRML netboot setup that i'd like to use
[17:53] <BCMM> (to install ubuntu on a system with no cd drive)
[17:55] <ankreloaded> BCMM: By another linux system, do you mean installing over a network...as in lan?
[17:55] <jont2383> !offtopic
[17:55] <BCMM> ankreloaded: no, what i mean is, does ubuntu have an installer than can be run from another distro
[17:56] <BCMM> ankreloaded: e.g. a live cd that works better with certain hardware
[17:56] <BCMM> (or, in my case, an existing netboot setup)
[17:56] <EClaesson> #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:56] <EClaesson> sorry
[17:56] <Jeruvy> jayant: have a check at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-255089.html
[17:56] <BCMM> installing ubuntu is offtopic?
[17:57] <BCMM> ok, bye.
[17:57] <edbian> EClaesson, ?
[17:57] <sudipta> i have a 4gb pendrive that does not show up when into the usb port...though it is mounted(lspci)...what to do?can anybody help?
[17:58] <jayant> Jeruvy: ok....thanks
[17:58] <EClaesson> edbian: I missed a / j  I tried to join the channel and missed a few keys :P
[17:59] <edbian> EClaesson, hahaha, you really offended BCMM.
[17:59] <sudipta> is there anyone who can help me?
[18:00] <EClaesson> edbian, yes, that mistyping came in a rather bad moment :P
[18:01] <ankreloaded> hahaha
[18:01] <b0ss8055> sudipta: u mean its not autoplaying?
[18:01] <Cube``> hey, i'm having a problem with permissions on my box running apache2 and recess-php-framework
yeah....it is mounted...but does not show anywhere
[18:02] <jayant> hello everyone. I have usb modem and i use sakis3G to connect to internet. I have connected my laptop to my desktop via lan. How can i share that internet connection on my laptop...I want to access the same internet on both
[18:02] <BCMM> sorry for misunderstanding
[18:03] <edbian> BCMM, yeah he wasn't talking to you.  hahaa
[18:03] <EClaesson> Really sorry BCMM, wasn't meant for you at all
[18:03] <edbian> BCMM, In response to your question.  I am not aware of an installer that installs to another computer.  But if you get the installer running you can use it to install to any hdd connected to that machine.
[18:04] <BCMM> EClaesson: still not sure if jont2383 was referring to me or not...
[18:04] <BCMM> edbian: that wasn't what i was asking about, but thanks
[18:04] <BCMM> i'm asking if it is possible to run the ubuntu installer from another distro
[18:05] <jont2383> BCCM : did i accidently type something ?
[18:05] <BCMM> for example, run it from a non-ubuntu live cd
are u there?
[18:05] <BCMM> the network thing is basically irrelevant; that just happens to be how i'm booting the system
[18:05] <b0ss8055> sudipta:does it workd 4 u earlier?or is it lyk this frm the 1st tym?
[18:06] <edbian> BCMM mmmmm,  perhaps.  You can download the source, compile it, and then try to run it. It's just a program.  Will it work?  I don't know.  (seems like it probably won't be able to find the files it needs to copy)
earlier it worked fine...yesterday i reinstalled my ubuntu 10.10...after that this weird problem occured
[18:06] <BCMM> i'm not looking to go to that much trouble; just wondering if it's an option that's already sorta-supported
[18:07] <BCMM> i mean, that sounds like more trouble than setting up ubuntu netbooting properly
[18:07] <b0ss8055> sudipta:is it showing under media folder?
[18:07] <steve0hh> hello!
nope....but it shows on lsusb
[18:07] <edbian> BCMM Yeah it would be a tremendous amount of trouble.  I'm not aware of a pre-configured solution like you're looking for.
[18:07] <HelloWorld123> I have a default installation of Ubuntu: do I have kdm, xdm, or gdm?  I'm trying to find the place to get Synergy to autostart.
and in system->admin->disk utility
[18:08] <erUSUL> HelloWorld123: gdm
[18:08] <HelloWorld123> tx
[18:08] <edbian> HelloWorld123, gdm
[18:08] <edbian> HelloWorld123, gdm -> gnome, kdm -> kde, xdm -> xfce
[18:09] <ruan> what does gdm stand for? gnome desktop mode?
[18:09] <pankaj_Sharm> !gdm
[18:09] <BCMM> ruan: gnome display manager
[18:09] <edbian> ruan, gnome display manager.  it's the login screen
[18:09] <l1nuxman> log file to view hostnames for remote user logins?
[18:09] <ruan> thanks
[18:09] <b0ss8055> Sudipta:is it showing mounted in the disk utility?
[18:09] <ruan> close enough
yeah
[18:10] <edbian> l1nuxman, /var/log/auth.log
[18:10] <BCMM> ruan: it's a "display manager" in that it manages graphical logins on a display
[18:10] <l1nuxman> edbian, but I don't see any ip's or hostnames
[18:10] <fizy[laptop]> hey guys, does ubuntu 10.04 come on a cd or a dvd?
[18:11] <edbian> l1nuxman, Then the only logins were local.   You won't get hostnames in the log.
[18:11] <l1nuxman> ohhh
[18:11] <edbian> fizy[laptop], cd (both I think)
[18:11] <shri31> ya both
[18:11] <townes> no sound in ubuntu 10.04, under gnome-volume-control no hardware is listed...?
[18:11] <edbian> !sound

[18:12] <townes> shri31, if you mean selected a device, there are none to select
[18:12] <edbian> fizy[laptop], sudo fdisk -l will list which are linux partitions
[18:12] <b0ss8055> sudipta:u tried unplugging n plugging it again?
yeah
[18:12] <fizy[laptop]> edbian: nono. im installing linux on mmy new computer, and i know i have a ubuntu disc somewhere, i just want to search as few discs as possible
[18:13] <sacarlson>  HelloWorld123: I normaly use cron to autostart add a line with @reboot
[18:13] <b0ss8055> Sudipta:tried rebooting with the usb drive inserted?
[18:13] <shri31> @townes:what does alsa mixer show
[18:13] <Somelauw> Hi
[18:13] <Kochanka> Hi all
yaeh
[18:13] <pankaj_Sharm> whats the command to remove a user
[18:13] <edbian> fizy[laptop], You wanna check the CD's?  Put them in the drive while windows is running.  It will show up all Ubuntu-y
[18:13] <shri31> Hi kochanka
[18:13] <Somelauw> When using ubuntu with awesome some features seeem to be missing
[18:13] <Somelauw> Like automatic updates.
[18:13] <fizy[laptop]> edbian: i know. i just want to do that with as few discxs as possible
[18:14] <edbian> Somelauw, Look at system -> admin -> update manager
[18:14] <edbian> fizy[laptop], Magically read the CD's with your bare eyes
[18:14] <fizy[laptop]> edbian: they arae rewritable, so i dont lable them
[18:14] <BCMM> hmm looks like debbootstrap can do that https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html
[18:14] <BCMM> thanks anyway!
[18:14] <edbian> fizy[laptop], There is no faster way to check them than to check them
[18:14] <fizy[laptop]> edbian: i already found it. thanks
[18:14] <Somelauw> edbian: Yes, but when I try to update something, it won't prompt for a password and work.
[18:14] <edbian> fizy[laptop], good :)
[18:14] <zth> hey guys.. i'm going to record a nylon acoustic guitar with a condensator microphone, and it's a pretty fast plucked piece. i want a good balance between the high/low strings. could anyone point me in the right direction with microphone placement?
[18:14] <edbian> Somelauw, How are you trying to update?
[18:15] <fizy[laptop]> well i just didnt want to check rw dvds if it was on a cd
[18:15] <cosmo> after I tried to install the linux sound card drivers from the maker's website I lost all sound and nothing shows in the hardware tab of sound preferences, I uninstalled alsa-base and alsa-util, rebooted, installed those to again and ran sudo alsa force-reload and I still have no sound and nothing shows in the hardware tab of sound preferences, any ideas?
[18:15] <townes> shri31, I could be mistaken, but I don't think I've ever had alsamixer in 10.04. I should install it?
[18:15] <edbian> zth, That has nothing to do with ubuntu?
[18:15] <Somelauw> edbian: MOD4 + R: update-manager
[18:15] <edbian> fizy[laptop], It's probably on a CD ;)
[18:15] <San_> how to get backtrack on linux
[18:15] <zth> edbian, word, didn't realize i was in this channel and did a amsg lol
[18:15] <edbian> Somelauw, MOD4 + R is not a valid command?
[18:15] <shri31> try it . gnome-alsamixer
[18:15] <edbian> zth, haha
[18:16] <Somelauw> edbian MOD4 is the windoze key
are u there?
[18:16] <townes> shrey, not installed. I'll install and see if that takes me anywhere
[18:16] <Somelauw> edbian: And r is lowercase
[18:16] <townes> shri31, , not installed. I'll install and see if that takes me anywhere
[18:16] <b0ss8055> sudipta:sory a litl bsy here...will be back
[18:16] <Somelauw> edbian: I am using awesome, remember
[18:16] <edbian> Somelauw, OOOhh, didn't know you were on awesome.  What does that key-binding do then?
[18:16] <marc__> suddenly my machine is saying that network is not enabled even though i have a connection. Any ideas on how to fix this?
ok
[18:16] <shri31> are you sure your hardware doesnt have a problem?
[18:17] <sudipta> can anybody else help?
[18:17] <townes> shri31, I have no idea really.
[18:17] <edbian> marc__, Right click the applet, enable networking checkbox
[18:17] <shri31> do you dual boot?
[18:17] <marc__> edbian, its greyed out
[18:17] <townes> I don't
[18:17] <edbian> marc__, sudo service networking restart
[18:18] <mdg2> Hello!  It is possible to remove distros from the list in the Startup Disk Creator?
[18:18] <marc__> edbian, will try, hold
[18:18] <edbian> marc__, holding...
[18:18] <shri31> Did u try plugging in the headphones while booting
[18:19] <sudipta> is there anybody who can help me....having a weird problem
[18:19] <Somelauw> edbian: It is like Alt+f2 in gnome (launching a program)
[18:19] <townes> shri31, I don't recall specifically but it's possible
[18:19] <shri31> @sudipta:??
[18:19] <edbian> Somelauw, ok.  So what does this have to do with updating programs?
[18:19] <townes> (gnome-alsamixer is blank, or when I click on sound card properties it exits out)
[18:19] <marc__> edbian, say unknown commnd restart
[18:20] <sudipta> shri31:yeah
[18:20] <mdg2> Hello!  It is possible to remove distros from the list in the Startup Disk Creator?
[18:20] <Somelauw> Also (stupid question). What does sudo aptitude auto-remove do?
my pendrive does not show up
[18:20] <edbian> marc__, Did you make a typo??
pls....help me!!!!
[18:20] <cosmo> townes, same problem here
[18:20] <shri31> @townes:may be the kernel isnt recognising your audio chip so try plugging in the headphones so that the kernel loads your driver module during boot time
[18:20] <marc__> edb, illtry again but think not
[18:21] <townes> shri31, alright will give that a go in a sec
[18:21] <townes> cosmo, how long has it been going on?
[18:21] <shri31> wassup sudipta
[18:22] <marc__> edbian, now it says restart:unknown instance
not good....having a weid problem
[18:22] <Somelauw> When I try to update something, it won't prompt for a password when I click "update"
[18:22] <cosmo> townes, since I tried to install the linux drivers from the manufacturer
[18:22] <Somelauw> edbian: And I can easily work around that, but I am just wondering why that happens.
[18:23] <edbian> Somelauw, removes packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies but are no longer needed.
[18:23] <marc__> edbian, and placed a lightbulb next to network manager that say networking not enabled
[18:23] <townes> cosmo, ah. what's tripping me up is that I didn't try updating anything when this happened =/... maybe you could roll back your drivers?
[18:23] <edbian> marc__, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart   (does that work?)
[18:23] <DaGeek247> i have a windows XP Pro cd, and a 20GB secondary partition. how do i install windows XP and keep ubuntu? (its on the first partition)
[18:23] <marc__> edbian, ill try
[18:23] <shri31> @sudipta: goto Administration-> disk utility. try to mount it. if not possible.format it!
[18:23] <cosmo> townes, I dont know how
[18:23] <Somelauw> edbian: Some website told me that removes old kernels, but I am scared that it will remove windoze too.
[18:23] <edbian> Somelauw, How are you trying to update?
[18:23] <edbian> Somelauw, it will not remove windows.  I guarantee that
[18:24] <edbian> Somelauw, it might remove old kernels.  I'm not sure.  the old kernels are packages just like anything else.
[18:24] <Somelauw> i also prefer to leave at least 2 kernels on my system.
in disk utility i can not mount it...or amy other pd
[18:24] <edbian> marc__, Different command, some effect
[18:24] <townes> cosmo, I've never done it..google or ask here maybe
[18:24] <shri31> try formatting
[18:24] <Somelauw> edbian: what is the safest way to remove them?
[18:24] <francesco_> stupidta ... try fdisk
[18:25] <cosmo> townes, thats what I have been doing for at least 4 hours
[18:25] <edbian> Somelauw, Finding the packages manually in synaptic and removing exactly the ones you want.  Now how are you trying to update your software?
 u hav gparted?
[18:25] <townes> cosmo, haha I feel you... let me see if I can try to look it up
no
[18:25] <Somelauw> edbian: win + r, and then typing update-manager and then pressing enter
[18:25] <marc__> edbian, command  not found
[18:26] <Somelauw> edbian: And then selecting "update"
[18:26] <l1nuxman> so if two users are logged in under the same user, if I type history, it would show the combination of our commands?
[18:26] <edbian> Somelauw, And then the update-manager launches correct?
[18:26] <Somelauw> edbian: And then nothing happens, while it should open gksudo
try installing it.nice gui partition manager
[18:26] <Somelauw> To prompt for a password.
[18:26] <greppy> l1nuxman: no.
[18:26] <Somelauw> So, maybe it has problems with popups or somethin
[18:26] <shri31> @townes: i jus found the dummest workaround for solving all ubuntu10.04 sound related bugs.... INSTALL KDE!!!
[18:27] <marc__> edbian, restarting did not work either
[18:27] <townes> cosmo, go to synaptic and search for your sound driver
[18:27] <l1nuxman> greppy, how can I view the other persons?
[18:27] <townes> shri31, hahaha
[18:27] <edbian> Somelauw, update-manager in a terminal.  keep in mind that typing in the passwords lasts for about 15 minutes
[18:27] <shri31> it worked for me !!
[18:27] <edbian> marc__, I think you're making a typo
[18:27] <Somelauw> edbian: Although I can't test now, since I already installed updates.
[18:27] <greppy> l1nuxman: you can't really, it's in memory associated with their shell.
[18:27] <townes> shri31, I believe you :)
[18:27] <b0ss8055> i cant here my empathy alert tone..help me pls
[18:27] <Somelauw> edbian: I worked around by typing gksudo update-manager in a terminal
[18:28] <shri31> i aint kiddin
[18:28] <l1nuxman> greppy, but it must be somewhere in logs no?
[18:28] <Somelauw> edbian: But I wonder why it won't show that popup
[18:28] <edbian> Somelauw, It is remembering the password for 15 minutes
[18:28] <shri31> install kde-plasma-desktop
[18:28] <marc__> edbian, nope copy and pasted your command
[18:28] <edbian> Somelauw, I'm not really worried about it.  I'm SURE it's secure.  It's probably caching the password.
[18:28] <townes> shri31, I might very well give that a go if I can't figure it out by tomorrow
[18:28] <meteoro> yo?
[18:29] <green__> I lost my X11/xorg.conf file when i tried to get compiz 9x
[18:29] <edbian> marc__, What part of the command does it complain about?  Can you pastebin the error?
[18:29] <townes> cosmo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1316634 allegedly that might work, I'm going to give it a go and see
[18:30] <kalash61> I want to install multiseat in ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10, I have 2 monitors 2 mice 2 keyb and a dual head Nvidia, help please
[18:30] <Somelauw> edbian: I didn't saw update progress either. Just nothing happened.
[18:30] <shri31> if the problem is related to ubuntu10.04(gnome)... it will be resolved... else there is something wrong with the driver (or) hardware (or) ..i dont know!!
[18:30] <edbian> Somelauw, Perhaps there was no updates?  Or very few and it went very fast.
[18:31] <marc__> edbian, tried it again, it said reconfiguring devices, but still has enable networking in grey
[18:31] <kalash61> anybody knows something about multiseat?
[18:31] <edbian> marc__, mmmm, what did you do that caused this issue originally?
[18:31] <marc__> edbian, just a restart
[18:32] <marc__> edbian, should i try to resart again?
[18:32] <edbian> marc__, can you pastebin /etc/networking/interfaces   ?  Restarts never hurt but I don't think it'll help.
[18:32] <Somelauw> edbian: It worked after I did the gksudo from terminal trick and there were definitely updates.
[18:33] <edbian> Somelauw, I thin if you run as a normal user and then hit the update button it would ask
[18:33] <qwebirc26475> hello
[18:34] <qwebirc26475> How can I disable user login in Ubuntu Server?
[18:34] <qwebirc26475> I just want to boot the computer without typing the password
[18:34] <townes> brb
[18:34] <qwebirc26475> !server
[18:34] <marc__> edbian,  I have no /etc/networking  just a 'network" and a "network manager"
[18:35] <edbian> marc__, Well that probably explains that!  sudo /etc/network/interfaces
[18:35] <marc__> edbian, ok, will try
[18:36] <edbian> marc__, do this instead:  gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[18:36] <Oins> Hi. I try to mount my ftp server with curlftpfs. The main problem now is, that the username contains an @ symbol (user@domain) and curlftpfs stops after the @. So, "curlftpfs user=name@domain ..." only use as username "name" and not "name@domain". Any ideas?
[18:36] <edbian> marc__, And that means the previous command is.  sudo service network restart
[18:36] <Oins> btw. user="name@domain" does not work too
[18:37] <qwebirc26475> just tell me. is it possible to disable user login in ubuntu server?
[18:37] <Sary_> Hi guys its Sary again... having the same problem but with some more interesting details
[18:37] <edbian> Sary_, usb boot on a netbook right...
[18:37] <Sary_> thats right
[18:38] <Sary_> so here's something interesting... I tried to autoplay from my USB in windows and it didnt work... I decided to reformat my USB drive and re-install the whole usb boot thing to my usb
[18:38] <Sary_> so I did that, went to BIOS, and disabled booting from hard drive and booting from CD drive,
[18:38] <qwebirc26475> -&#58;ALL EXCEPT root&#58;LOCAL
[18:38] <Kochanka> lol:d
[18:38] <Sary_> and then when it booted after that, it gave me this message:
[18:38] <Sary_> Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected Boot Devices
[18:39] <Sary_> press any key to continue
[18:39] <Sary_> etc. so its not reading the usb as a proper boot device,
[18:39] <qwebirc26475> !anyone
[18:39] <Sary_> AND when I shut it down and shut it back on, I missed going into BIOS and it still went to windows 7 even though I had everything else disabled
[18:39] <qwebirc26475> anyone
[18:39] <edbian> Sary_, You told it to boot a CD drive it doesn't have!
[18:39] <marc__> edbian, wont let me do it
[18:40] <Sary_> nono, I told it to boot USB drive
[18:40] <Sary_> or "Removable Drive" in my BIOS
[18:40] <edbian> marc__, What won't let you do what?
[18:40] <edbian> Sary_, ooooo
[18:40] <edbian> Sary_, Yeah the drive is not set up correctly
[18:40] <Sary_> I have to assume from this point that its not set up correctly, but the question is how do I set it up correctly? lol
[18:41] <Sary_> the .exe install and the .iso are both on my desktop, I find them in the install prompt on there for it... it seems to be installing properly
[18:41] <Sary_> and yet it isn't working
[18:41] <Sary_> I've already tried re-installing it, what to do from here?
[18:41] <Sary_> incidentally its set as a FAT32 drive
[18:41] <marc__> edbian, gksudo gedit /etc/networking/interfaces
[18:41] <Sary_> Perhaps that should be changed?
[18:42] <edbian> marc__, there is no networking.   it's gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[18:42] <EClaesson> Does Ubuntu 10.10 use Metacity?
[18:42] <ruan> EClaesson: i think so
[18:42] <edbian> EClaesson, it is installed but compiz is turned on be default which replaces it.  so no
[18:42] <induz> hello
[18:42] <EClaesson> So Compiz is the dafault? Thank you.
[18:43] <EClaesson> *default
[18:43] <marc__> edbian, it reports auto lo iface lo inet loopback
[18:43] <induz> can some one tell me how to make ID badge ? is there a upgradeable s/w for openoffice?
[18:43] <dmytro> Bunch of standard applet indicators (hope I`m calling it properly) just vanished from my Natty 'classic' panel.  No clock, no calendar, no shutdown buttons  shows up anymore. Just keyboard and NM. Reboot dosn`t help. What should I do?
[18:44] <Sary_> edbian, did I lose ya?
[18:44] <edbian> marc__, Ok good. that file is fine.  does sudo lspci  list our interfaces?
[18:44] <edbian> Sary_, I just don't know how to fix it :(
[18:44] <ploks> Hello
[18:44] <Sary_> Damn. Alright. I'll go dig around some more. Thanks anyway.
[18:44] <edbian> Sary_, Good luck!
[18:45] <l1nuxman> anyone use acct?
[18:45] <marc__> edbian, yes it report all my devices
[18:45] <raven> how to controll rhythmbox via ssh

[18:47] <neiz> I have a 10.10 install, is there an easy way to 'update' to 11.04?
[18:47] <marc__> edbian,  ok thanks
[18:48] <edbian> neiz, There will be when it comes out.  Go to system -> admin -> software sources and check the box from 'LTS releases' to 'normal' releases.  Then when it comes out use update manager
[18:50] <edbian> marc__, it worked?
[18:50] <marc__> yes i think so
[18:50] <marc__> edbian, i thinks so
[18:50] <edbian> marc__, Hurray!
[18:50] <Polah> How would I modify my hosts file to redirect a domain to a specific IP? bukkit.org is pointed to 174.36.220.118, and as my DNS has not updated to point to the new IP I want to set it in my hosts file to point to 174.129.154.164
[18:50] <amin_> i used the Virtual mouse for couple of days and now that I have a mouse the virtual mouse does not stop my number section (numkeys) of the keyboard doesnot work either the num key is on or off what should I do?????
[18:51] <marc__> edbian, thanks
[18:51] <edbian> marc__, no problem buddy
[18:52] <Spi_Waterwing> hm.  Anyone want to tell me why chmod and chown aren't working on some of my files?
[18:52] <edbian> Polah, At the top just add the line.  There are a couple other things there two about 127.0.0.1 you can put it above those
[18:52] <oCean> Polah, add a new line "ip  hostname" and save it
[18:52] <Polah> Oh, I did bukkit.org <ip>, so I should do <ip> bukkit.org?
[18:53] <Polah> edbian, oCean, thank you very much
[18:53] <edbian> Polah, no problem
[18:53] <induz> is there any s/w for ID badge making on ubuntu??
[18:54] <Vivekananda> Hello everyone .A couple of problem with my ubuntu lucid on dell inspiron 600.The asla mixer was working fine earlier along with the "PCM" button but now it does not and only the master volume works.I remember getting an error message about something like "ICH" device not working and dont know what do now
[18:54] <induz>  is there any s/w for ID badge making on ubuntu??
[18:54] <oCean> induz: no need to repeat that quickly
[18:54] <induz> there seems to be numerous on windows
[18:54] <skullboy> does doing a live install decrease the chance of success
[18:55] <EClaesson> If i installed Ubuntu with the windows installer, is it possible to resize the harddrive/partition?
[18:55] <induz> I thought its not gone so i asked it again
[18:55] <ruan> you could run one on wine
[18:55] <EClaesson> I just realized i picked a too small disk size :(
[18:55] <EClaesson> *possible without damaging my windows install
[18:57] <Spi_Waterwing> EClaesson: gparted can resize partitions; I think it throws up warnings if you can't move it
[19:00] <joe_9> Can I remove libjpeg62?
[19:00] <ruan> !info libjpeg62
[19:00] <ruan> optional.

[19:04] <macabre> hey all, when i hooked my laptop to my tv to use it as a monitor for some reason my x org conf file was over written, i am stuck at very low res for both my monitor and tv, and suggestions?
[19:04] <macabre> i am running 10.04 on a macbook pro 2,2
[19:04] <mbrigdan> So, can someone here explain to me the whole OpenOffice vs LibreOffice thing? Is one better than the other? Are they identical?
[19:05] <macabre> any*
[19:05] <astley> I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver
[19:07] <astley> thanks in advance
[19:07] <G00053> astley: i had to blacklist a driver in order to get mine to work ? what is the model number of the card ?
[19:07] <astley> how do i find that out again?
[19:07] <mandad123> hi
[19:08] <astley> G00053: how exactly, thanks btw

[19:08] <mandad123> how could i rezise ubuntu
[19:09] <mirthman> i need help with serial port commands
[19:09] <mirthman> any one good with this?
[19:09] <G00053> well i just looked on the box because i had just bought the card, maybe have a look a any documentaion that came with your comp
[19:09] <rlankfo> a/win 35
[19:09] <G00053> then type that model number into ubuntu forums and i garuntee you'll probably find something
[19:09] <oCean> mirthman: is that an ubuntu issue?
[19:10] <mirthman> no, i just need help figuring out how to get line state
[19:10] <mcl0vin> howdy folks

[19:10] <mandad123> how could i rezise ubuntu
[19:11] <mcl0vin> i just upgrade to ubuntu 10 , now when i start my laptop i get error in the worksapce
[19:11] <mbrigdan> oCean, Well, given that 11.04 is switching to LibreOffice, I just want to know if I should switch or stay. Will it cause me future problems if I don't switch?
[19:12] <oCean> mbrigdan: 11.04 issues are handled in #ubuntu+1, not here

[19:13] <Kyle__> How do you add interface specific routes in /etc/network/interfaces?
[19:13] <induz> I am looking for a s/w to make siple ID badge card/
[19:14] <mandad123> how could i rezise ubuntu
[19:14] <Kyle__> I tried entering it for the second interface like I do the first, but then they both show up as default routes (which is bad).
[19:14] <mandad123> how could i resize ubuntu
[19:14] <oCean> astley: try lspci -nv or sudo lshw -C network
[19:14] <mcl0vin> can someone help me please
[19:14] <Kyle__> mandad123: You're looking at resizing the drive it's on.  Boot off of the cd, go into live mode, you can use gparted from there to do it nicely.
[19:14] <oCean> !please > mcl0vin
[19:15] <mandad123> just i 've instal ubuntu in win7
[19:15] <mcl0vin> oCean: got it
[19:16] <mcl0vin> i need help with my laptop, after i upgrade, i no longer get my menus in my workspace
[19:17] <neXyon> hrm, I have a really strange behaviour here... if I run "setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW,CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' java" on my java binary, java stops working: "java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" o_O anyone any clue why?
[19:18] <ruan> neXyon: looks like java isn't installed properly

[19:21] <ChrisBuchholz> Hello peope. I am using the broadcom STA wireless driver, but i am getting very slow speed. Is there some other, maybe b43(22) specific driver i could try?
[19:22] <ruan> hmm
[19:22] <ruan> !broadcom
[19:22] <Lancelot> Jordan_U, ...interesting
[19:23] <Lancelot> G00053, it worked this time
[19:23] <Kyle__> How do you add interface specific routes in /etc/network/interfaces?
[19:23] <ruan> imho, these drivers should be integrated into ubuntu or a network manager. i've seen too many people with broadcom issues
[19:23] <Mcl0vin> i keep getting this error every time i restart The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome".
[19:24] <Kyle__> ruan: Yea, but I've had netbooks where the generic drivers worked, but the proprietary ones killed it.
[19:24] <Kyle__> ruan: it's not consistent enough to warrant something like that.
[19:25] <ruan> Kyle__: network drivers?
[19:25] <Mcl0vin> !OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome
[19:25] <ruan> i understand graphic drivers shouldn't be, but these are network drivers, and i havent heard of a problem from them
[19:25] <ChrisBuchholz> ruan: thanks
[19:25] <Mcl0vin> !OAFIID
[19:26] <Kyle__> ruan: broadcom network drivers.  Maybe I misread and combined some lines as they were going past.
[19:26] <Kyle__> ruan: Yup, network drivers.
[19:26] <Mcl0vin> anyone here know what could be the issue with me getting this error "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome"."
[19:26] <ruan> i've only heard positive feedback from the broadcom drivers
[19:26] <ruan> so far
[19:26] <Kyle__> ruan: The closed source onces, and the ndis drivers both can be really flaky on some hardware.
[19:27]  * Kyle__ shrugs
[19:27] <Kyle__> ruan: I lived through it though, and came across dozens of other posts from other people who were having issues with the same hardware at the time.
[19:27] <Lancelot> Jordan_U, do you know of any good tutorials on how to use the terminal?
[19:27] <Lancelot> and the shell?
[19:27] <Kyle__> The open source drivers are the best option tos start with, at least that's how I feel :)
[19:28] <Mcl0vin> The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome".

[19:30] <Lancelot> awesome, thanks guys!
[19:30] <dskippy> I think I got confused with my ISOs I downloaded and might have installed the sever version. Is thee a simple way to tell? There's no X11 installed.
[19:31] <dskippy> Will apt-get install ubuntu-desktop get me to where I would be had I installed the desktop version or is there some extra stuff I should do?
[19:32] <randomuser> can someone confirm that ubuntu, by default, is not ssh ready?
[19:32] <edbian> dskippy, that's enough
[19:32] <trinikrono> randomuser: it is
[19:32] <edbian> randomuser, It can ssh to others but it is not an ssh server by default
[19:32] <ruan> randomuser: the client is ssh ready
[19:32] <ruan> randomuser: ssh server is really easy to install though
[19:33] <ChrisBuchholz> ruan: when i install the b43-fwcutter package as described, i dont get the prompt to extract and install the firmware as shown in the guide. It just installs and thats it. And it doesnt show up under "additional drivers"
[19:33] <randomuser> so i need openssh-server, got it
[19:33] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, can you reboot and pastebin the output dmesg  ?
[19:33] <edbian> randomuser, yes
[19:33] <randomuser> and the default firewall is wide open now? WTF?
[19:34] <edbian> randomuser, yep.  That's because Ubuntu is secure enough to have a wide open firewall.  Real security purists will tell you how you should never need a firewall.
[19:34] <edbian> randomuser, It's always been wide open IRRC
[19:35] <abou-mocro> hallllo allemaaal
[19:35] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: sure. I hsould say, that i am on natty, but the package also exists here.
[19:35] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, It's been there for a long time.  Since before 7.10 for sure
[19:35] <abou-mocro> hello everyone
[19:35] <Mcl0vin> anyone got any suggestion on how i could fix OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome?
[19:36] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: i willrrestart and paste dmesg
[19:36] <Mcl0vin> error when loading up
[19:36] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, I'm eagerly awaiting
[19:36] <ruan> ChrisBuchholz: just check if it works as expected when you reboot though
[19:36] <edbian> ruan, ChrisBuchholz That's probably a safe decision
[19:37] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, If it is working I do not need to see dmesg
[19:37] <Mcl0vin> i am seeking help with issue in "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome"
[19:39] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian, ruan how would i check if it works? It doesnt appear under Additional hardware drivers. Only the broadcom STA does, which is the one i DONT wanna use beccause its damn slow
[19:39] <ruan> ChrisBuchholz: just check if its fast
[19:40] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582608/
[19:40] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, Can you connect to a network?
[19:40] <ruan> ChrisBuchholz: after reboot
[19:40] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: yes i am connected, but that is via Broad STA driver
[19:40] <ChrisBuchholz> broadcom*
[19:40] <Chr|s_> how come sound events sound kind of distorted and scratchy? what can I do to fix this?
[19:41] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian, ruan: i dont think b43-fwcutter installs. It says on the documentation it has to extract and install the driver, but it only installs the package. Doesnt ask me about xtracting firmware and so
[19:41] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, you not not appear to be using the b43 driver.  (the fwcutter thing)
[19:41] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: yes, that is what i am saying :D
[19:41] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, It didn't load any firmware either.  dmesg would have said so
[19:41] <edbian> so we're agreed then...
[19:41] <edbian> haha
[19:41] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: but why am i not
[19:41] <Mcl0vin> no one here knows what i am talking about ?
[19:41] <ChrisBuchholz> i install b43-fwcutter, edbian, and then what?
[19:42] <edbian> can you sudo apt-get purge fwcutter   and sudo apt-get install fwcutter   and show me what is says?
[19:42] <Mcl0vin> i should ve not upgrade :(
[19:42] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: fwcutter or b43-fwcutter?
[19:42] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, This is a broadcom BCM43xx chip right?
[19:42] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: yes
[19:42] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, b43-fwcutter.  I abbreviated

[19:42] <ruan> usuario: ?
[19:42] <oarion7> hi everyone. if i missed an error message that displayed on boot time before x and gnome started, is there a way i can view from the terminal all the information that came up on the screen as ubuntu was loading?
[19:42] <usuario> emmmmm
[19:43] <ruan> oarion7: the logs?
[19:43] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582612/
[19:43] <ruan> i have no idea if they log at boot time though
[19:44] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: oh, its in danish btw :D
[19:44] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, Did you purge first?  (I don't speak... german??)
[19:44] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: yes i did purge first
[19:44] <ruan> i can slightly comprehend it
[19:44] <ChrisBuchholz> but it doesnt do anything other than that. Not the first time, second or third time
[19:45] <G00053> oarion7 try /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/messages
[19:45] <oarion7> G00053 and ruan, thanks
[19:45] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, It should have.  Is there an fwcutter?
[19:45] <edbian> What is the chipset exactly so I can google it?
[19:45] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: bcm4322
 randomuser, yep.  That's because Ubuntu is secure enough to have a wide open firewall.  Real security purists will tell you how you should never need a firewall
[19:46] <randomuser> is this a joke?
[19:46] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: an fwcutter?
[19:46] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, package?  a fwcutter besides b43-fwcutter
[19:46] <edbian> randomuser, no
[19:46] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: no i dont think so. Not installed anyways
[19:46] <edbian> randomuser, I am absolutely serious.
[19:47] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, Usually it outputs stuff about getting the firmware as well.
[19:47] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: and not when i search either
[19:47] <uofm49426> does anyone know if ipw2200 driver is patch already
[19:47] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: yes, the documentation says so, but it doesnt for me
[19:47] <uofm49426> injection patch
[19:47] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, what does sudo lspci -k  say about things.  It should list the driver you are using and the other drivers avialable on the system.
[19:47] <clu3> My box is responding very slowly. I am running only one instance of eclipse, one instance of skype, yet i hvae about 20+ eclipse processes and 10 skype processes. Is this normal?

[19:48] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, sure
[19:48] <anto> k pasa
[19:48] <th0r> clu3: close them both and then, in a terminal, type 'killall skype'....same for eclipse
[19:48] <ruan> clu3: how much ram, and how much swap total/in use?
[19:48] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, Easier than you having to type it I think

[19:48] <anto> soy español
[19:48] <randomuser> edbian, so there's no reason that most other distros secure ports by default, and no vulnerabilities in any software?  it's ok for your average joe to run a free-access-to-anon smbd server (which i think is default as well) and open it to the internet?
[19:49] <ruan> clu3: or are those processes slowing the computer?

[19:49] <Flannel> anto: Please mind your language.  This channel is an english channel.
[19:50] <edbian> ChrisBuchholz, perhaps you should remove the package for the driver you don't wnat to use
[19:50] <Vivekananda> Hello everyone .A couple of problem with my ubuntu lucid on dell inspiron 600.The asla mixer was working fine earlier along with the "PCM" button but now it does not and only the master volume works.I remember getting an error message about something like "ICH" device not working and dont know what do now
[19:50] <ChrisBuchholz> edbian: okay, i will try that later. Have to go now. Thank you so far
[19:50] <clu3> ruan, i'm not sure, even i have now 15 firefox processes  as well. And i am basically running only those 3 apps
[19:51] <edbian> randomuser, Securing ports makes things 'more secure' but if you have secure software on the system it doesn't matter if outside connections are made to it.  If nothing is listening on a port then that port is secure anyway.  There is no reason to block it.  Furthermore, firewalls break the layering of the Internet.  Middleboxes are not supposed to read the ports of packets.  Just forward them.
[19:51] <ruan> clu3: you can check up on them with system monitor
[19:51] <ruan> or top
[19:51] <edbian> randomuser, This is a controversial topic.  Many people disagree on it.
[19:51] <clu3> that's how i found out, i used top
[19:51] <ATDPRHS> Umm
[19:51] <clu3> htop actually
[19:51] <ATDPRHS> anyone here can support me or direct me to the correct channel for Ubuntu help & Support?
[19:52] <edbian> randomuser, Additionally most people have a router these days that does NAT which is affectively firewalling.
[19:52] <ruan> ATDPRHS: this is the ubuntu help/support channel
[19:52] <Flannel> ATDPRHS: This is the right channel.  Best way to get help is to just ask your question, and someone will chime in if they know the answer.
[19:52] <ATDPRHS> uumm
[19:52] <ATDPRHS> okayz
[19:52] <ATDPRHS> thank you Flannel
[19:53] <edbian> randomuser, Security and usability are often at opposing sides of an issue.  A firewall decreases usability (because it often annoying blocks traffic from newly installed apps) so many people dislike them.  They are widely used though.
[19:53] <ATDPRHS> well, when I turn on Ubuntu, it doesn't allow me to type in my password
[19:53] <randomuser> edbian, so if my 'middlebox' is routing traffic to my lan, and I have one box running vsftpd and one running httpd, you're saying packet routing by port is undesirable?
[19:53] <ATDPRHS> I can't even give me the username password text boxes for me to type anything
[19:53] <ATDPRHS> What do I do?
[19:54] <ATDPRHS> 8-)
[19:54] <ruan> hmmm.
[19:54] <edbian> randomuser, Packet routing by port is NAT.  Which also is not pure or in accordance with the layering of the Internet.  However it is common because it helps alleviate the IPv4 space problem and it is convenient, and 'more secure' according to some.
[19:54] <randomuser> edbian, if you want to say that it's turned off to save the end users the hassle of learning what i firewall does, that's fine.  I don't agree with it, but the reasonig is valid.  But don't tell me that anything is absolutely secure
[19:55] <randomuser> and dont tell me incoming traffic is NAT routed, either.
[19:55] <ruan> key combo for an onscreen keyboard, perhaps?
[19:55] <edbian> randomuser, If you have a router incoming traffic is NAT routed.
[19:55] <edbian> randomuser, The system is secure enough that a firewall is not necessary.
[19:56] <G00053> this suit is black.... NAT
[19:56] <edbian> randomuser, security is a matter of opinion.  So some people want more, some people want less.  No natter what the Ubuntu devs do someone will disagree with it.
[19:56] <astley> I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver
[19:56] <valan> no system is secure enough
[19:56] <edbian> randomuser, see, there are people like valan in the world.
[19:56] <Starminn> valan: Turn it off and unplug it. That's a secure system.
[19:56] <edbian> valan, no offense
[19:57] <G00053> astley , have you managed to figure out the model of the card yet
[19:57] <valan> Starminn your hard drive may still be physically unsecure
[19:57] <Starminn> valan: No, because I'm using it to sharpen my tools.
[19:57] <Frenky> Hello. When I try to set up a new VPN connection my only option is PPTP, what do I have to install to have other options (L2TP etc)?
[19:57] <randomuser> edbian, so if i were to point my browser at 128.239.26.145; NAT would allow the router ro automagickally know which box behind the gateway i was looking for?
[19:57] <valan> Starminn good for you
[19:58] <Guest86001> hello
[19:58] <gaymann> I want to use 1280x960. The option is not available under Monitor Preferences, I can't do 'xrandr -s 1280x960' and I can't find the xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I did find an example xorg.conf (I forgot where it is).. I just want to use the superior 1280x960 resolution. 1280x1024 is rong aspect ratio
[19:58] <Guest86001> !ubottu
[19:58] <th0r> edbian: can I give you a hand digging that hole deeper?
[19:58] <edbian> randomuser, If you point to 128.239.26.145 that is either another machine or a router.  The router will say port 80?  over here -> 192.168.1.2 (or some address)
[19:58] <Starminn> valan: http://media.techeblog.com/images/weird-fixes.jpg
[19:58] <edbian> th0r, Sure :)
[19:58] <Guest86001> How can I make sshd to start on boot?
[19:58]  * Starminn Okay, I'll go away now. Sorry guys
[19:59] <edbian> Guest86001, Install openssh-server and it will start on boot automatically
[19:59] <Polah> How can I delete my chat logs from Empathy?
[19:59] <Guest86001> edbian: it didnt that's why I am here (ubuntu.server)
[19:59] <edbian> Starminn, I have to do that twice a week!
[19:59] <valan> nat is great, but it's not security
[19:59] <edbian> Guest86001, does this start it: sudo service ssh start
[19:59] <Starminn> edbian: lol
[20:00] <skullboy> is ubuntu ultimate edition just an over packed version of ubuntu or are most of the apps convenient
[20:00] <Starminn> Polah: Probably in a hdiden folder in your home directory.
[20:00] <dougl> is there a data base of software I have installed that I can export list and use to config other 10.10 install?
[20:00] <xangua> skullboy: ubuntu ultimate is not supported here
[20:00] <red2kic> skullboy: Ultimate Garbage.
[20:00] <randomuser> edbian, the router will redirect there because you told it to; routing of return packets from a locally initated request is handled in NAT tables
[20:00] <Starminn> Polah: I use Pidgin and mine are in /home/MyUser/.purple/logs/ and so on so forth
[20:00] <edbian> valan, If port forwarding is all turned off it is effectively an incoming router firewall.
[20:00] <randomuser> ...if you'll forgive the redundancy
[20:00] <xangua> dougl you can export a list of installed packages with synaptic
[20:00] <valan> edbian but i thought you said we don't need firewalls?
[20:01] <A[p][s][995]> [S]
[20:01] <A[p][s][995]> [P]
[20:01] <A[p][s][995]> [A]
[20:01] <Polah> Starminn: I figured that much, but can't find it. I saw .mission-control and removed that, and there's some posts about ./local/share/Empathy but that doesn't exist
[20:01] <skullboy> does doing a live install decrease the chance of success
[20:01] <dougl> xangua, yeah I thot you could - looking at that now, thank you... any pointers?
[20:01] <edbian> randomuser, the destination router will redirect packets because of the packet's port number.
[20:02] <edbian> randomuser, what you said about return packets it true
[20:02] <edbian> valan, :)
[20:02] <skullboy> does doing a live install decrease the chance of success
[20:02] <Starminn> Polah: Do you have it set to store chat logs?
[20:02] <edbian> skullboy, success of what?
[20:02] <niluu> hi
[20:02] <niluu> anyone in india?
[20:03] <skullboy> edbian: installation
[20:03] <th0r> niluu: I am sure someone is in india
[20:03] <Polah> Starminn: It stores them; I can look at them through Empathy
[20:03] <valan> if you maintain very tight and strict control over your system, a firewall probably isn't necessary
[20:03] <valan> but unless you're doing realtime, 24 hour monitoring, a firewall is probably required
[20:03] <edbian> skullboy, It is any worse than any other method.  Easiest in my opinion
[20:03] <valan> on any production system
[20:03] <Starminn> Polah:  ~/.gnome2/empathy/logs
[20:03] <niluu> just installed ubuntu & xchat
[20:03] <edbian> valan, opinion
[20:03] <valan> of course
[20:04] <valan> s/a firewall/a properly configured and maintained firewall/
[20:04] <edbian> valan, of course we assume it's configured properly
[20:04] <valan> assumption will lead to a compromise
[20:05] <valan> i work in information assurance and communications security, forgive me if i give more credit to the crackers than most do
[20:05] <Starminn> Polah: The two places people point to are ~/.gnome2/Empathy/logs && ~/.local/share/Empathy/logs
[20:06] <dougl> how do I export a list of installed packages from synaptic?
[20:06] <randomuser> edbian, the fact that NAT tables work so well is a motivator to have a secure-ish firewall by default; the average end user wont notice it becase of the ESTABLISHED,RELATED rule
[20:07] <edbian> randomuser, the average user will have no idea no matter what we do
[20:08] <Kyle__> If you have nothing listening by default, or only secure services listening (ie ssh), the firewall may not slow anything down, but it is kindof supurfulous
[20:08] <valan> the average user is the people who need to be protected
[20:09] <G00053> dougl try dpkg -l > text.txt
[20:09] <Guest86001> changed the port and it's working again
[20:09] <G00053> text.txt being the file you exported to
[20:09] <Polah> Starminn, neither of those exist for me
[20:09] <valan> Kyle__ i don't know anybody who runs a default install
[20:09] <clu3> i'm not sure why the package consolekit is installed in my box, but its process /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon is spawning about 50 of them. Any advice what is this package? From the apt-cache show: framework for defining and tracking users, sessions and seats
[20:09] <clu3>  ConsoleKit is a system daemon for tracking what users are logged into the system and how they interact with the computer (e.g. which keyboard and mouse they use)
[20:10] <clu3> is it essential? can i remove it?
[20:10] <ruan> !info consolekit
[20:10] <Kyle__> valan: Point taken.  But I did run a pool of guest-only machines with a very-nearly-default install for public internet usage for years.
[20:10] <Kyle__> :)
[20:10] <ruan> clu3: not required. you can try removing it
[20:11] <gregd> hi everyone, I have an fstab question for you all.  I have a version of ubuntu I am running from virtual box.  I have it all set up and I have a share folder.  The problem I am having is the permissions of the share folder mount.  It is mounting with root as the owner.  I am pretty sure I have the right uid and gid numbers right.  Here is my fstab: UbuntuShare     /home/user/ShareFolder      vboxsf    auto
[20:11] <gregd> defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=006  0  0
[20:11] <Falst> I seem to be having some troubles with Grub, in that it no longer loads at all on boot
[20:11] <clu3> ruan, thanks
[20:11] <valan> Kyle__ also, many people won't realize it if/when a package they install, whether on purpose or inadvertently, opens a port and listens for external connections
[20:12] <Starminn> Polah: Not usre.
[20:13] <rblst> hello; i am using lucid 10.04.2 lts with the latest skype (2.1.0.81); ringing works fine but no voice is audible when making the test call; any suggestions please?
[20:13] <Kyle__> valan: True.  But there you could make the argument about default configs needing to be more secure.
[20:13] <clu3> ruan, is there a way to find out which packages depend on consolekit? I wanna find out why it's installed in my box
[20:13] <valan> Kyle__ i would also make the argument about a default firewall needing to drop all new external connections
[20:14] <LjL> clu3: apt-cache rdepends consolekit
[20:14] <valan> if the user wants to run an service open to the world, they should manually open the firewall to do so
[20:15] <clu3> thanks LjL , interesting, lots of looking important packages depend on it, uhm..(gnome-power-manager, gnome-bluetooth...)
[20:15] <valan> but whatever, the distro devs will do what they want, i only came in here because someone pointed me to a discussion i thought interesting
[20:15] <clu3> even nautilus
[20:15] <Kyle__> valan: And as I speak I'm being bitten by a stupid bot trying to get into my home machine... it can't get in, but has used up all my login attempts and I've got to wait for sshd to play nice again.
[20:16] <killown> where is the alsaconf?
[20:16] <valan> Kyle__ nobody said security was easy
[20:16] <killown> my card was not detected, so its was easy when had alsaconf to set it up
[20:16] <Kyle__> valan: True that.
[20:16] <valan> and if it is, you've either been doing it for a long time and have lots of experience, or you're not secure
[20:16] <Kyle__> Looks like I should have remembered to bring my key with me from home.
[20:17] <Kyle__> valan: Real security is easy, unplug.  Real security with real flexibility, that's the trick.
[20:17] <Kyle__> ;)
[20:17] <valan> even unplugging from the net isn't secure
[20:17] <valan> still have physical security to worry about
[20:18] <killown> why ubuntu has no alsaconf?
[20:18] <clu3> people, is there a method to detect a virus in a ubuntu box? Any guidelines? I think my comp is infected. Each application i run, i see 10+ processes for it
[20:18] <Kyle__> Yea, but if it gets to that point with your home machines, you're screwed.  With your work machines, well, you're still screwed if it gets that far.  Especially with executive's laptops.
[20:18] <TomV-415> I'm wondering if I have a problem with my boot config.  I just got updated to the latest kernel 2.6.32-30?  But uname -a after reboot shows 2.6.32-24.  Is my update failing to set me to the latest kernel?
[20:18] <guntbert> valan:  Kyle__ : back to the topic please :-)
[20:18] <oneliner> conercning file permision with the http server, i was wondering if making the server run as www-data and then set chmod as www-data for groups of file folder and lastly adding www-data the the login user groups
[20:18] <Falst> anybody know why Grub wouldn't load at all?
[20:19] <Kyle__> guntbert: Sorry.
[20:19] <Guest86001> problem was listenaddres
[20:19] <Guest86001> ss
[20:19] <valan> Falst define "wouldn't load at all"
[20:19] <Falst> valan: on boot, it stops before where the grub menu would usually load
[20:19] <valan> Falst does the system not boot? does it skip the menu?
[20:19] <Falst> it doesn't boot at all
[20:20] <Falst> I'm currently on a LiveCD
[20:20] <Kyle__> clu3: Lookup some rootkit detection stuff.  A linux virus in the wild isn't impossible, but infeasable.  A rootkit is probably what you have, if you have anything actually wrong at all :)
[20:20] <valan> Falst reinstall grub, probably to the mbr of the first hard drive
[20:20] <fxhp> How does ubuntu get weather info?
[20:20] <fxhp> I just set my location
[20:20] <clu3> Kyle__, thanks
[20:20] <Kyle__> fxhp: depends on the app or widget.
[20:20] <fxhp> The built in time
[20:20] <fxhp> I set my location there
[20:21] <rats_> Talking about rootkits does chkroot work
[20:21] <valan> rats_ it works for rootkits that it can detect
[20:21] <valan> rats_ it can't possibly be 100% accurate
[20:21] <rats_> ok that makes sence
[20:22] <Kyle__> fxhp: Not positive myself, I glanced through the help page and didn't see it.
[20:22] <rblst> hello; i am using lucid 10.04.2 lts with the latest skype (2.1.0.81); ringing works fine but no voice is audible when making the test call; any suggestions please?
[20:22] <fxhp> Well its working REALLY well
[20:22] <fxhp> : )
[20:22] <sahaquiel> my netbook can't seem to be able to boot the 11.04 alpha 3 image from usb. burned the image with unetbootin from windows & linux on 2 different machines - doesn't work. The included usb-creator.exe doesn't even let me select the iso. Is there a way to boot the usb from a grub entry? (I have ubuntu installed already)
[20:23] <randomuser> Kyle__, fkwknop is awesome
[20:23] <xangua> !natty | sahaquiel
[20:23] <Kyle__> randomuser: port knocking?  Sweet.
[20:24] <randomuser> Kyle__, the best part is that it drops packets on both the knock port and the open port, even while listening for the knock; nmap doesn't see shit
[20:24] <sahaquiel> xangua: thanks, but this is not a natty specific problem, it's a problem of the tools that make the ubuntu isos bootable on usb.  I coudn't boot the 10.10 iso as well
[20:26] <randomuser> you'd open --p tcp --d-port 22 just long enough to type in your password, then it's established and the rule that let you in is wiped
[20:26] <Emanon> So is it wise to tell any program that uses apt-get to use apt-fast instead?
[20:26] <Kyle__> randomuser: Hum.  I think in my setup it may still show up though, just not answer.  But I'd have to dig through the apple-airport settings to be sure.
[20:26] <guntbert> sahaquiel: dod you make certain that the iso wasn't corrupted?
[20:26] <randomuser> sahaquiel, look at unetbootin to make a usb drive
[20:26] <cosmo> I am following the directions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577 to hopefully fix my alsa driver but when I run sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.24-2.sh -c  it errors out saying make[4]: *** [/opt/Alsa-1.0.24/alsa-driver-1.0.24/pci/ca0106/ca0106_proc.o] Error 1

[20:27] <sahaquiel> randomuser: I did, didn't work. I will try to write the syslinux whatever-thing to the usb. but I will continue asking in #ubuntu+1
[20:27] <clu3> is there a way to list all the installed packages chronologically?
[20:28] <valan> sahaquiel some hardware is picky about the iso it can boot
[20:28] <Emanon> randomuser: you try http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ yet?
[20:28] <randomuser> sahaquiel, there's also a fedora tool that i think is live2usb or iso2usb.... look at the fedora docs on doing an install and you should find it fairly quickly
[20:28] <Emanon> It's fairly nice to use that from ubuntu.
[20:28] <valan> sahaquiel example, i have a box that will boot debian and ubuntu isos but not fedora or opensuse, even though every other box i have boots them all just fine, from the same medium
[20:29] <sahaquiel> valan: I know, i was able to boot only ubuntu 10.04, no other ubuntu and no arch
[20:29] <randomuser> Emanon, i use something like that, yeah
[20:29] <dannyd_> how  do i change my language settings from firefox
[20:29] <xangua> edit>addons>language dannyd_
[20:30] <dannyd_> i founnd instructions on the net, but there are no screen shots....the firefox i downloaded from mint repositories is in some other language
[20:30] <xangua> dannyd_: mint is not supported here
[20:30] <IdleOne> !mintsupport
[20:30] <Jordan_U> sahaquiel: You can boot the iso via grub by adding a menu entry for it to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then running "sudo update-grub". A template for the entry you need to add is here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F
[20:31] <dannyd_> does Kies mean language in some language?
[20:31] <IdleOne> dannyd_: ask the mint channel in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[20:32] <dannyd_> ok will do
[20:33] <lifestream> Hi, if I'm using USB mic (listed as a separate card in alsamixer) then do I disable (press space) Capture in the HDA card in alsamixer?
[20:34] <lifestream> I have wasted atleast 70+ hours of my life (excluding sleep!) trying to get microphone to work LOL!
[20:35] <red2kic> lifestream: "M" to unmute/mute. Unsure abuot spacebar.
[20:35] <lifestream> red2kic: yes on the 00/MM you hit M, but on the Capture, you hit space (L R capture / --- )
[20:36] <red2kic> lifestream: You might want to try alsa or pulseaudio channel.
[20:36] <kaesar> holaaaa
[20:36] <lifestream> pulseaudio only has speaker and capture.  HDA Intel (alsa) has all the options
[20:36] <xBlueprint> Yo

[20:41] <xBlueprint> cosmo whats are you trying to fix
[20:41] <xBlueprint> cosmo,
[20:41] <lloowen__> Hi all :) I'm trying to install vmware-server on Ubuntu and I get this "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]"  I just hit enter assuming it is the correct location but apparently it is not. Does anyone know what is the direcotry location for Ubuntu? Thanks.
[20:41] <owen1> is there a reason why ubuntu don't require a password for root account? how do i login as root? su - ask for a pass.
[20:41] <cosmo> xBlueprint, my alsa I have no sound
[20:41] <ubuntu> !grub
[20:42] <xBlueprint> cosmo,  hold up ill link you to something that helped me
[20:42] <lifestream> !root | owen1
[20:42] <guntbert> lloowen__: you have to install them, best install dkms, that should pull in everything needed
[20:42] <xBlueprint> cosmo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1641931
[20:42] <xBlueprint> go there
[20:42] <lloowen__> guntbert: Thanks
[20:42] <cosmo> xBlueprint,  I was trying to get my mic working in wine so I searched on google and found similar problems and a solution was to install the linux drivers from realtek (my sound card maker) so I followed those instructions and that caused me to lose all sound so I tried removing and purging alsa-base and such and reinstalling but that didnt fix it and then I found that link, have been trying to fix this for at least 6 hours
[20:43] <lifestream> looks like I could make a living sellling commas
[20:43] <cosmo> lifestream, frustration stole them all
[20:44] <lifestream> hehehe
[20:44] <Speedfx> is there a way too boot Ubuntu but disabling the graphics drivers; I just installed a new driver for my card trough ubuntu but it doesn't work.
[20:44] <lloowen__> guntbert: Apparently I have dkms already installed
[20:44] <Speedfx> or something like restore a previous version of ubuntu?
[20:44] <xBlueprint> cosmo, I started a new chat with you
[20:45] <Yendor> Hi folks.  Anyone able to help me fix my Ubuntu server after grub got hosed upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic?
[20:45] <lifestream> cosmo:  also install alsa-utils , and make sure to go to alsamixer and unmute (M key)
[20:45] <smw> Speedfx, is it an nvidia card?
[20:45] <Speedfx> yea
[20:45] <xBlueprint> cosmo, go to the pirvate chat
[20:45] <Speedfx> it worked fine with no drivers installed
[20:45] <Yendor> Currently getting "error 15", but I might've gotten at least one step past that...
[20:46] <guntbert> lloowen__: on my system /usr/src/linux  doesn't exist
[20:46] <smw> Speedfx, there is probably a code to use with grub to force a standard driver.
[20:46] <smw> Speedfx, or you can boot into text mode and uninstall with aptget
[20:47] <julian_> hey
[20:47] <xBlueprint> sup
[20:47] <guntbert> lloowen__: look at ls -l /usr/src
[20:47] <Speedfx> what would the aptget command be then? I'm still new to Ubuntu and well all the commands
[20:47] <lloowen__> guntbert: OK I'll take a look. Thanks
[20:47] <xBlueprint> apt-get is used to install things
[20:47] <Yendor> Speedfx: apt-get remove package_name
[20:47] <Speedfx> yea I know
[20:48] <xBlueprint> you can install or remove things with apt-get
[20:48] <guntbert> lloowen__: use the one that matches your running kernel
[20:48] <x_dimitri> I don't see LVM anywhere in the Lucid setup. Am I overlooking something?
[20:48] <Speedfx> how can I get a list of packages in text mode?
[20:48] <smw> Speedfx, try booting with adding xforcevesa to the grub line
[20:48] <Yendor> Speedfx: If you want to remove all the config files that go with the package as well, then: apt-get remove --purge package_name
[20:48] <smw> Speedfx, you can probably do sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[20:48] <Yendor> Speedfx: dpkg -l  (that's an "ell")
[20:49] <Speedfx> ah
[20:49] <Speedfx> thanks
[20:49] <smw> Speedfx, first try xforcevesa
[20:49] <Speedfx> first in ubuntu, really liked it \o/
[20:49] <Speedfx> will do smw
[20:49] <Speedfx> first time*
[20:49] <Yendor> Anyone able to assist with a grub repair?
[20:49] <smw> Speedfx, do you know how to add to the grub line at boot?
[20:49] <x_dimitri> does anyone know why there is not LVM options in the Lucid installer?
[20:49] <Speedfx> press e
[20:49] <Speedfx> but where would I add it
[20:50] <smw> Yendor, can you boot ubuntu?
[20:50] <Speedfx> after quiet splash?
[20:50] <smw> Speedfx, yes
[20:50] <Speedfx> k thanks
[20:50] <Yendor> smw: No.  Getting "error 15" upon trying to boot.  Attempted upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic last night hosed the system.
[20:51] <smw> Yendor, grub is saying "Error 15" and nothing else?
[20:51] <Yendor> smw: The system has one regular HD and one raid drive md0
[20:51] <Yendor> smw: What's the full error.....Error 15: file not found, I believe.
[20:51] <Yendor> But beyond that....Correct.  Nothing else.
[20:52] <smw> Yendor, does it say what file was not found?
[20:52] <Yendor> It does not
[20:52] <smw> Yendor, and it says this before showing any menus?
[20:52] <Yendor> smw: Correct
[20:52] <angel_> newbie
[20:52] <boo_> May I ask a question here ... newbe
[20:52] <smw> !ask | boo_
[20:53] <Yendor> smw: I can get to a grub menu, and I can edit it...
[20:53] <guntbert> x_dimitri: use the !alternate CD for that
[20:53] <xBlueprint> boo_, what do you need
[20:53] <x_dimitri> guntbert:ok. thanks
[20:53] <mindspider> Hi
[20:53] <Yendor> smw: Not a new user here; have been using Ubuntu for 8 years or so.  Just not good at grub repairs.
[20:53] <guntbert> x_dimitri: no problem :)
[20:53] <mindspider> I'm looking for help making Oblivion work under wine on Ubuntu 10.10
[20:53] <nellie> anyone ever have ther mouse turn into a one inch by one inch square during install and stay that way after reboot?   I cant get it to change back even after messing with other mouse pointers.  anyone know how to fix?
[20:54] <Yendor> smw: "find /grub/stage1" returns "hd0,0"
[20:54] <boo_> Kool,  I am trying to install my ubuntu on a home network but it keeps asking for a server??  I just whant to see the other computers on my network
[20:54] <smw> Yendor, I am trying to figure out what file is not found...
[20:55] <Yendor> smw: Well...Editing the grub menu manually, I changed it from /boot/vmlinuz to just /vmlinuz.  It got a bit further.
[20:55] <mindspider> Oblivion crashes as soon as a click yes to start a new game. I tried running it with wineconsole and have the output ready to paste if someone can help.
[20:55] <drc> mindspider: have you searched winehq?
[20:55] <mindspider> Yup
[20:55] <Yendor> smw: Then it failed, I believe, because of my raid drive.
[20:55] <TomV-415> boo_: Is that a dns server ot
[20:55] <TomV-415> boo_: Is that a dns server it's asking for?
[20:55] <mindspider> And also the elder scrolls wiki's section on running under linux.
[20:55] <Yendor> smw: (Insert full vmlinuz-version...)
[20:55] <smw> Yendor, ok
[20:55] <mindspider> One person had the same problem as me, but their solution didn't fix it for me.
[20:56] <Yendor> smw: Currently sitting at an (initramfs) prompt
[20:56] <smw> Yendor, is there a reason not to reinstall?
[20:56] <boo_>  I don't know it's all automatic on windows but in Ubuntu it keeps insisting for a share list on my server?
[20:56] <smw> Yendor, I am not very good with grub either.
[20:56] <Yendor> smw: I believe that's the route I'm going to eventually take, because what prompted me to upgrade is that my system was the victim of a 2010-Dec-10 exploit in exim.
[20:56] <smw> boo_, what is it?
[20:57] <boo_> What do you mean?
[20:57] <xBlueprint> How do i install the ubuntu software center?
[20:57] <Yendor> smw: But I do not have backups for the system and I would like to ensure that all my data will be safe by transferring it across my network to my Mac temporarily.
[20:57] <smw> boo_, "it keeps insisting for a share server"
[20:57] <smw> Yendor, a bootable disk can do that easily.
[20:58] <Jordan_U> xBlueprint: It should be installed by default. If not you can install it using apt-get.
[20:58] <xBlueprint> lol i was joking
[20:58] <drc> mindspider: I'd ask in #winehq, you'd probably get more help there
[20:58] <mindspider> Same IRC server?
[20:58] <Yendor> smw: I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 CD today, but I don't think that's a LiveCD...  Unless I'm missing something blindingly obvious.
[20:58] <drc> mindspider: yes
[20:58] <mindspider> Thanks for the help then, drc.
[20:59] <smw> Yendor, is it the server or desktop one?
[20:59] <Yendor> smw: server
[20:59] <smw> Yendor, you need to download knoppix, dsl, the desktop cd, or somethign else.
[20:59] <Yendor> smw: Not to say that I couldn't go grab the desktop one and burn that if that's what I need.
[20:59] <Yendor> smw: Also grabbed Knoppix this morning.  1/30/11 release.
[20:59] <x_dimitri1> .
[21:00] <smw> Yendor, just boot up knoppix and you can move files to another computer.
[21:00] <boo_> I can ping another  box but I can't get network to see it
[21:00] <drc> mindspider: for what it's worth, Oblivion has worked perfectly for me under wine x.y.z, badly under wine x.y.z+1, not at all under wine x.y.z+2 and perfectly again under wine x.y.z+3...one never knows
[21:01] <Yendor> smw: I'll go boot knoppix now...Hopefully it'll be able to figure out my raid drive.
[21:01] <Yendor> smw: Not very hopeful
[21:01] <smw> boo_, boo_, ok lets step back. What is it you want to accomplish?
[21:01] <smw> boo_, don't say you want to put it on the network. Be specific.
[21:02] <Mcl0vin> hello everyone
[21:02] <smw> hi Mcl0vin
[21:02] <|Bboy|> Greetings. can someone recommend a wireless usb adapter that works well with ubuntu , i had the wg11 v3 from netgear and it kept disconnecting every few minutes
[21:03] <Mcl0vin> i keep getting gnome_home error
[21:03] <smw> Mcl0vin, please give the full problem. Explain what you are doing, what you see, and what the exact error is.
[21:04] <boo_> I am running a home network, Ubunto can see the internet but fails to see any of the other "window" units on my network.  When I go to any of the network setup windows it simple says it can't moung my netework and says that it can't retrieve any share list from my server.  I  don't think I have any acting server, it's sortal like a peer to peer.
[21:04] <boo_> I am simple trying to connect to the network to see the other boxs for file sharing etc..
[21:05] <smw> boo_, open the file manager, type ctrl+l, and type in smb:/
[21:05] <smw> boo_, what happens?
[21:06] <Mcl0vin> smw: i keep getting error loading OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome every time i reboot since i upgrade it

[21:06] <boo_> Uh, pk, where is the file manager
[21:06] <mareczek> hello, anyone can help me with problem /proc/cpuinfo ?
[21:07] <smw> boo_, places -> home

[21:07] <smw> Mcl0vin, when do you see this error?
[21:08] <Mcl0vin> smw: any idea how to fix it
[21:08] <Mcl0vin> smw: every time i login
[21:09] <boo_> Sorry for being so dumb, I'm there what did you say to type in?
[21:09] <smw> smb:/
[21:10] <mareczek> i have a new CPU, AMD Phenom II x4 955 and i've Ubuntu 64bits. Now i can't run a /proc/cpuinfo. I see msg "command not found"
[21:10] <mareczek> i dont know how can fix that
[21:10] <smw> Mcl0vin, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25259
[21:10] <rww> mareczek: it's "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[21:10] <smw> Mcl0vin, google is great
[21:10] <xt3mp0r> I have installed ubuntu within windows, while installation i selected 15GB and hence now my home directory is only 15GB big. How can i make it more big? The partition in which ubuntu is installed is cable of 50GB.
[21:10] <boo_> It shows my network "AMERIKA'
 thanks
[21:11] <smw> boo_, did you click on AMERIKA?
[21:11] <PhM|Home> xt3mp0r use a gparted live cd
[21:12] <cehr> my 10.04 install is failing at the "select and install software
[21:12] <Starminn> PhM|Home: Will that work with Wubi??
[21:12] <boo_> Yes ... Unable to mount location, failed to retrieve share list from server
[21:12] <cehr> whoops, hit enter prematurely
[21:12] <xt3mp0r> PhM|Home: hmm, thanks. will give it a try.
[21:13] <smw> boo_, and windows computers work?
[21:13] <cehr> 10.04 install is failing at "select and install software", is there any way to figure out what package it's failing at?
[21:13] <Mcl0vin> smw: but that not for go_home
[21:13] <boo_> Yes for a long time ...  Ubuntu is just all new to me???
[21:13] <guntbert> xt3mp0r: wait, at least two people doubt that that would help on wubi
[21:13] <boo_> I'm sure it's just some setting I'm missing
[21:14] <smw> boo_, try smb://ip where you have a real ip.
[21:14] <Starminn> guntbert: Right, because it's nto actually a partition.....
[21:14] <PhM|Home> didn't see it was a wubi install, gparted won't help in this case
[21:15] <PhM|Home> sorry
[21:15] <boo_> The IP for the linksys or for another box?
[21:15] <Psydoll> hello can anyone point me to a site teaching how to networking from the command line?
[21:15] <smw> boo_, for a box you want to connect to.
[21:15] <Psydoll> ive already used linuxcommand.org
[21:15] <xt3mp0r> guntbert, PhM|Home: Ohh, is there any other option instead of a reinstall?
[21:15] <smw> Psydoll, what type of networking? Network setup?
[21:16] <Yendor> smw: Whoah.  Was able to create and mount my md raid drive.
[21:16] <guntbert> xt3mp0r: sorry, no idea - I never used wubi
[21:16] <Yendor> smw: http://www.howtoforge.com/recover_data_from_raid_lvm_partitions if you care.  :)
[21:16] <Psydoll> smw yes setup, config etc
[21:16] <Psydoll> ifconfig i know
[21:16] <xt3mp0r> guntbert: np :)
[21:16] <Psydoll> but the others..
[21:16] <smw> Yendor, not surprised... knoppix has never let me down :-)
[21:16] <PhM|Home> xt3mp0r: never used wubi too
[21:17] <Guest63504> hi. I was wondering if there is an easy way to install something like dban to a usb drive without having to use a Windows USB creator? Is there a linux USb creator?
[21:17] <Yendor> smw: Next question....
[21:17] <smw> Psydoll, if you are doing hardwired config, all you need is ifconfg, dhclient (or another dhcp client) and to modify /etc/network/interfaces
[21:17] <Yendor> smw: I have /boot on /dev/sda1, I have / on /dev/sda3, and I have /home on /dev/md3 (raid)
[21:17] <|Bboy|> Greetings. can someone recommend a wireless usb adapter that works well with ubuntu , i had the wg11 v3 from netgear and it kept disconnecting every few minutes
[21:18] <xt3mp0r> PhM|Home: Ohh, looks like reinstall is only option. Lemme try a bit more on google
[21:18] <Psydoll> smw so if i know a fair bit of ifconfig there is not much more to do networking wise on the command line?
[21:18] <Yendor> smw: Any reason I would need to destroy my raid partition if I reinstall the system?  And further, if I do reinstall and wipe out / and /boot, would my raid partition automatically show up again?
[21:19] <m___> any1 know what is wrong with this bash command: nohup ( ( ./net_run_all.sh train dates1 ) ; cd ../trees/ ; ( ./run_all.sh trees dates1 ) ; echo "DONE ALL" )
[21:19] <Polah> Does anyone else run Steam through WINE and if so, is there a way to fix the flickering icons on the window list? I keep selecting/deselecting it and I can't change window until I Super+D to go to desktop and remaximise things
[21:19] <m___> it gives this error: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[21:19] <qwebirc70881> hello again
[21:19] <smw> Psydoll, correct. ifconfig does pretty much everything except dhcp
[21:19] <Psydoll> smw ty
[21:20] <smw> Yendor, no reason to reinstall the raid partition
[21:20] <dougl> I am trying to connect my 10.10 install to my network wirelessly with notebook with intel link 5100 but when I try to connect with wicd it says bad password - any suggestions?
[21:20] <neiz> Polah: are your desktop visual effects turned off?
[21:20] <digirak> is there anyway i can troubleshoot my built in webcam
[21:20] <qwebirc70881> !apt
[21:20] <smw> Yendor, you would need to do manual setup and assign /home to it.
[21:21] <Polah> Neiz: Minimisation is animated (it shows the window shrinking down onto the panel), wobbly windows isn't. It doesn't constantly reopen it; it's just the panel icon that flickers
[21:21] <smw> Yendor, is the raid hardware or software?
[21:21] <Yendor> smw: software.
[21:21] <m___> any1 know what is wrong with this bash command: nohup ( ( ./net_run_all.sh train dates1 ) ; cd ../trees/ ; ( ./run_all.sh trees dates1 ))   ??
[21:22] <smw> Yendor, how did you set it up the first time?
[21:22] <robdig> m___: do the scripts net_run_all.sh and run_all.sh execute fine
[21:22] <m___> yes
[21:22] <boo_> Well, I typed in an address that it pings OK but nothing happened
[21:22] <smw> Yendor, you should be able to do it again without overwriting.
[21:22] <Yendor> smw: During the Linux setup a few years back
[21:23] <smw> Yendor, you should be able to figure it out. But backup is a good idea.
[21:23] <boo_> Did I time out here?
[21:23] <boo_> No
[21:23] <Yendor> smw: Yes.  Backup.  I have rotsa music I don't wanna lose.  And other data too, of course.  :)
[21:23] <digirak> i am not sure whether the issue is with my webcam or with my drivers
[21:23] <m___> robdig: actually   nohup ( echo hi ; echo hi )  doesn't even work
[21:23] <digirak> how do i find that out
[21:23] <boo_> OK, I typed in an IP for a box that I can ping but nothing happens
[21:23] <smw> boo_, does it give an error?
[21:24] <boo_> not diddly squat
[21:24] <robdig> m___: yeah, nohup isn't liking your parens there
[21:25] <smw> boo_, I do not know the problem
[21:25] <boo_> Great, neither do I <grin>
[21:26] <boo_> I would think if it can ping the box it should be able to see the shared directories
[21:26] <m___> robdig: I just put the commands in a bash script and ran nohup on that...
[21:26] <smw> m___, what are you trying to do?
[21:26] <robdig> m___: been a while since i used nohup. and i was just gonna suggest that you put them in a script.
[21:26] <m___> yeh i did now
[21:26] <m___> it works
[21:26] <robdig> m___: i think no hup only likes simple commands
[21:27] <robdig> m___: but way to go figuring it out
[21:27] <m___> robdig: quite standard I suppose!
[21:27] <robdig> m___: yup
[21:28] <smw> m___, if you can't subshell, you can invoke bash manually with bash -c cmd
[21:28] <m___> k will keep it in mind
[21:28] <boo_> Well, I guess I stumped the panel this time, unfortunately I stumped myself worse
[21:28] <m___> thx
[21:29] <spyros> test
[21:29] <smw> spyros, test failed
[21:29] <boo_> Thanks for trying
[21:29] <boo_> quit
[21:29] <smw> boo_, sorry I could not be of more help :-)
[21:30] <spyros> hi
[21:30] <smw> hi spyros
[21:30] <spyros> i logged from ubuntu support
[21:30] <boo_> No problem, I've been doing windows and ATARI for years and sometimes you just have to start over.,. How do I get out of chat?
[21:30] <ThinkT510> boo_: /quit
[21:30] <smw> boo_, /quit
[21:31] <smw> boo_, or click the X ;-)
[21:31] <ThinkT510> spyros: anything we can help you with?
[21:31] <spyros> yes
[21:32] <lyger> hello... i'm running ubuntu server 10.10... i can't configure wireless networking, and am obviously unable to install the wireless-tools package without internet access :/
[21:32] <lyger> tried adding cd-rom to apt sources but gives I/O errors
[21:33] <fizy[laptop]> is there any way to emulate a mouse in a virtual terminal? like i press some magic key, then i use the arrows to control the cursor so i can copy and paste text?
[21:33] <spyros> how can i open nautilus from terminal with multiple tabs.I want to add the command to startup applications so i dont have to open it any time i open my pc
[21:33] <smw> lyger, servers were not made to work with wireless. I do not even recommend installing a desktop without hardwire handy
[21:33] <xt3mp0r> I have installed ubuntu within windows using wubi. Now, i want to do a fresh ubuntu install, but i don't want to setup everything again. How can i get the same programs/configs on my new install?
[21:34] <Yendor> smw: Thanks for the assistance.  Time to go feed the kids.  Later!
[21:34] <lyger> smw: still necessary, im running it on a laptop which does not have an rj-45 connector
[21:34] <lilian> hey
[21:34] <lilian> ça va ?
[21:35] <fizy[laptop]> oui, ca va bien
[21:35] <guntbert> fizy[laptop]: will gpm help you?
[21:35] <lilian> comment marche irc ?
[21:35] <fizy[laptop]> guntbert: whats that?
[21:35] <guntbert> !fr | lilian
[21:35] <guntbert> !inof gpm | fizy[laptop]
[21:35] <lilian> ok
[21:35] <smw> lyger, I would download debs and install them from a thumb drive on the laptop
[21:35] <guntbert> !info gpm | fizy[laptop]
[21:35] <Lancelot> Question, I updated to the new kernel, and now there's a -pae extension on the entry in the grub boot menu. The thing is that I don't have more than 4 GB of memory.
[21:36] <lyger> smw: would it be possible to install ubuntu desktop edition then just remove gdm?
[21:36] <smw> lyger, of course
[21:36] <lyger> would the wireless settings be deleted once I removed it though..
[21:36] <smw> lyger, there may be a way to install it "system wide"
[21:37] <spyros> HI ThinkT510 ! i cant find it from man pages or google. do you know the command.Thanks
[21:37] <lyger> smw, have a doc link?
[21:37] <spyros> ?
[21:37] <smw> lyger, I would not uninstall gnome, I would just boot into text mode
[21:37] <ThinkT510> spyros: to launch it from the terminal: gksudo nautilus
[21:37] <Lancelot> PROBLEM! I accidentally installed some alsa snapshots for a PAE version of the kernel, but I'm not running a system with more than 4 GB of memory.
[21:38] <smw> lyger, in setup there is an option to make it available to all users.
[21:38] <smw> lyger, you can make a wireless connection "available to all users"
[21:38] <spyros> yes of course but how with multiple tabs? for example with /media/mpla/mpla and /home/1/2
[21:39] <SLiNa1> govori ko hrv?
[21:39] <smw> lyger, I am not positive that will do it. But I think it will
[21:39] <ThinkT510> spyros: not sure sorry, i tend to use thunar (xfce fan myself)
[21:39] <guntbert> !hr | SLiNa1
[21:39] <spyros> ok thanks!!!
[21:40] <SLiNa1> hvala
[21:42] <ThinkT510> spyros: http://askubuntu.com/questions/26042/can-a-single-nautilus-window-be-started-with-multiple-tabs
[21:44] <spyros>  ThinkT510: thank you very much!!!
[21:44] <lyger> smw: so how do you boot into text mode? is it a grub option?
[21:44] <ThinkT510> spyros: np, first google result
[21:45] <guntbert> !nox | lyger
[21:45] <smw> lyger, yep just append text to the kernel line
[21:45] <smw> lyger, nm guntbert/ubottu beet me.
[21:45] <spyros>  ThinkT510:i tried google but didnt see that!
[21:45] <bastidrazor> lyger: yes, /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=  ... add text to this line then sudo update-grub
[21:45] <bastidrazor> lyger: "text"
[21:46] <Mndrll> hey guys!
[21:46] <lyger> lol cant believe setting up a cups print server takes so much work :<
[21:46] <Mndrll> have a question
[21:46] <Mndrll> wich is the most suitable VM for installing another operating system in UBUNTU??
[21:47] <phoenixsampras> what is the ultimate Development language available?
[21:47] <lyger> virtualbox?
[21:47] <xt3mp0r> Mndrll: virtualbox
[21:47] <Mndrll> have you used it?
[21:47] <spyros>  ThinkT510:  Thank you very much i have to go.Good night!
[21:47] <phonex01> what about virtual box ?
[21:47] <Mndrll> and what about VM ware??
[21:47] <ThinkT510> Mndrll: virtualbox works great, and it's in the repos
[21:47] <lyger> Mndrll: i used it for windows xp
[21:47] <phonex01> VM ware is amazing
[21:47] <ThinkT510> spyros: glad to help
[21:47] <xt3mp0r> Mndrll: virtualbox is easy to use and works great!
[21:47] <lyger> don't use the repo version though
[21:47] <phoenixsampras> Citrix > Vmware
[21:47] <phonex01> with new additions that support USB and Serial ports on virtual machine
[21:48] <lyger> the site version from virtualbox.org works well
[21:48] <arand> Mndrll: There's either vmware virtualbox, or kvm, no one is better, your choice
[21:48] <phonex01> go to oracle website and download it from there
[21:48] <Mndrll> xt3mp0r, lyger, ThinkT510, arand, thanks!!
[21:48] <casts> thats not true at all, vmware is closed source thus inferior to vb and kvm
[21:48] <Mndrll> ok thanks
[21:49] <mitpatterson> hmm, we having a discussion on Vmware? funny, i have a question regarding installing that, lol
[21:49] <SLiNa1> jel zna tko dobar IRC (na hrvatskom), za hakere
[21:49] <ThinkT510> !vmware | mitpatterson
[21:49] <xt3mp0r> Mndrll: np
[21:49] <phonex01> yes it is closed source but it gives you more than the open source one
[21:49] <mitpatterson> actually all i want to install is the VMWare tools
[21:49] <Mndrll> does the Virtual box on the ubuntu repos, have usb support
[21:49] <bastidrazor> Mndrll: yes
[21:49] <phonex01> for example on virtualbox you can not use IHC with the USB controller while you can do that in VMware
[21:50] <smw> !rs | SLiNa1
[21:50] <maco> Mndrll: no
[21:50] <phoenixsampras> Yes indeed, Citrix Xenserver is by far superior to Vmware
[21:50] <maco> Mndrll: the open source edition does not do usb. the personal-use-or-pay-if-business version has usb
[21:50] <bastidrazor> maco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB  this fibs?
[21:51] <Mndrll> maco, thanks!
[21:51] <Mndrll> thanks guys!
[21:51] <mitpatterson> anyways, my quick question, is i have the CD mounted, and one of the files is a "rpm" file, from what vmware's tools say you should just be able to double click the file, but when i do that it opens up the archive thingy
[21:51] <maco> bastidrazor: *blink* oh ok i guess it changed O_o
[21:51] <maco> Mndrll: nevermind...
[21:51] <Mcl0vin> smw: since i upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS , every time i log in i keep getting this error "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome"." do you want to delete the panel from your config ....
[21:51] <bastidrazor> maco: i just learned of this page a few weeks ago. i also held your view until then.
[21:52] <Mcl0vin> any help is much appreciated
[21:52] <maco> bastidrazor: when did this change? because the link on that page to vbox's site ... well, vbox's site still says the old thing
[21:52] <todulchaos> Hello all
[21:52] <bastidrazor> maco: i do not know when.
[21:53] <smw> Mcl0vin, I don't know what to tell you. I would try removing my gnome config and seeing if that helped.
[21:53] <ThinkT510> mitpatterson: ubuntu is .deb based not .rpm, you'll need to install alien to install rpms
[21:53] <ChrisBuchholz> ruan: Hey, we talked earlier about b43-fwcutter. I have now uninstalled the broadcom STA wireless driver, restarted and then installed b43-fwcutter, but it just installs the package - doesnt come up with the prompt for extracting and installing firmware driver as is described in the documentation you hooked me up with. Any ideas?
[21:53] <smw> Mcl0vin, I know very little about  gnome.
[21:53] <todulchaos> is there a way to set the "metric" value, priority for lan cards, like there is in windows ?
[21:53] <smw> !alien | mitpatterson ThinkT510
[21:53] <smw> mitpatterson ThinkT510, I highly suggest against using alien... ever
 nema ti nikog na tim kanalima (ubuntu-hr, ubuntu-rs), daj neki posjeceni a da je na hrv ili srpski
[21:54] <guntbert> !en | SLiNa1
[21:54] <mitpatterson> ok, anyone want to tell me how to install it using the .tar file? i followed the VMWare guide but it didn't work: For the tar installer, at the command prompt, enter:
[21:54] <mitpatterson> tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-<xxxx>.tar.gz
[21:54] <mitpatterson> umount /dev/cdrom
[21:54] <mitpatterson> Where <xxxx> is the build number of the product release.
[21:54] <FloodBot2> mitpatterson: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:55] <smw> guntbert, he is telling ubottu no one is in those channels. lol
[21:55] <ThinkT510> smw: i only ever used it for a lexmark printer driver, gladly thats gone now but you're right i should warn about its unsupported state before recommending it, thanks
[21:55] <SLiNa1> ubottu: nema nikog na tim serverima (#ubuntu-hr, #ubuntu rs), daj neki posjeceni na hrv ili srpskom
[21:56] <smw> ThinkT510, truthfully, I would rather reverse engineer it by hand then try alien ;-)
[21:56] <smw> !hr | SLiNa1
[21:56] <ThinkT510> smw: you are a braver man than i :)
[21:57] <smw> ThinkT510, I have done packaging for both. I know what can go wrong :-)
[21:57] <guntbert> SLiNa1: govore engleski ovdje
[21:57] <ajf> Uh
[21:57] <ajf> What's the command to choose the default for a command?
[21:57] <SLiNa1> seres
[21:57] <mitpatterson> so any advice for using the tar.gz file? i followed what the VMWare guide said, but i got erros: "no such file" is one, am i pointing it the wrong way?
[21:57] <ajf> E.g. default jvm, default python?
[21:57] <Mcl0vin> since i upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS , every time i log in i keep getting this error "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome"." do you want to delete the panel from your config ....any help people
[21:57] <mitpatterson> the command(with the <xxxx> replaced with the file version number: tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-<xxxx>.tar.gz
[21:58] <Mcl0vin> nothing i googled trun to fix the issue , i still keep gettting the samething
[21:59] <cartmanius> hi some channel in spanish?
[21:59] <ThinkT510> !es | cartmanius
[21:59] <cartmanius> gracias ubottu
[21:59] <smw> ubottu is a bot
[22:00] <ajf> What's the command to set the default for a command? Like which path of python to use?
[22:00] <guntbert> mitpatterson: if I remember correctly the CD is mounted on /media/cdrom
[22:01] <smw> ajf, I don't remember, but the thing you want to google is
[22:01] <smw> alternatives
[22:01] <Taev> when using apt-get how do i tell it to auto install the dependencies?
[22:01] <guntbert> ajf: udate-alternatives ?
[22:01] <smw> Taev, that is default
[22:02] <mitpatterson> guntbert, can you tell me wherei would do that in the command i pasted earlier
[22:02] <guntbert> *update-alternatives
[22:02] <mtphys> Who uses bitlbee?
[22:02] <maco> mtphys: i do
[22:02] <ajf> guntbert: Ah. Thanks.
[22:02] <smw> mitpatterson, history is the command to see the cmd line history
[22:02] <bastidrazor> Taev: apt-get -y install package.. the -y equals assume yes
[22:03] <Taev> i tried apt-get install skype and i keep getting errors about dependencies
[22:03] <mtphys> maco, now is it normal to connect on twitter?
[22:03] <guntbert> mitpatterson: 1) cp /media/cdrom/VM<tab> /tmp    2) cd /tmp    3) tar xzf VM<tab>
[22:03] <Taev> i tried apt-get -f install skype like it suggested but same thing
[22:03] <SLiNa1> da
[22:03] <maco> mtphys: ive never tried that. i just use it for xmpp & oscar
[22:03] <smw> Taev, what did it say?
[22:03] <cartmanius> spanish

[22:06] <smw> Taev, that is weird
[22:06] <smw> Taev, it does not say why it is not installable
[22:07] <Krycek> oh
[22:07] <ThinkT510> Taev: what version of ubuntu are you running, perhaps the dependancies aren't in the repo
[22:07] <Taev> yes it does, it says unmet dependencies
[22:07] <todulchaos> is there a way to set the "metric" value, priority for lan cards, like there is in windows ?
[22:07] <robdig> Taev: what version of ubuntu are you running
[22:07] <Taev> whats the command to find out what ubuntu version
[22:07] <Taev> 8.10 i think
[22:07] <robdig> Taev: uname -a
[22:07] <smw> Taev, that is very old
[22:08] <bastidrazor> Taev: lsb_release -a
[22:08] <Taev> well how do i get skype working?
[22:08] <bastidrazor> robdig: uname -a tells the kernel version
[22:08] <Taev> i know there is a command to install the required dependencies its asking for
[22:08] <bastidrazor> Taev: in 8.10 you don't. it is eol
[22:08] <ThinkT510> !8.10
[22:08] <bastidrazor> !eol | Taev
[22:08] <robdig> bastidrazor: yup, but either one will tell us what ihe is running. 8.10 is no longer supported
[22:08] <Taev> I know that, and im sticking with it
[22:09] <Taev> installing skype has nothing to do with it being EOL
[22:09] <bastidrazor> Taev: support for it has ended.
[22:09] <Starminn> Taev: But our support for it here does.
[22:09] <ThinkT510> Taev: this is the support channel, if it is eol it is no longer supported
[22:09] <Taev> the skype package is FOR 8.10
[22:09] <Taev> oh god just tell me the flag to make apt-get install the required dependecies plz
[22:10] <th0r> Taev: the required dependencies are no longer online
[22:10] <bastidrazor> Taev: you're getting errors because the repository does nto exist anymore.
[22:11] <Taev> fine where would I find the packages?
[22:11] <DetetiveX> hey, i've just instaled UBUNTU NETBOOK 10.10! what is the root password?! i need to administrate GRUB.. someone can help me?
[22:11] <bastidrazor> Taev: packages.ubuntu.com may have them. search for the dependencies there
[22:11] <th0r> hehehehe
[22:11] <todulchaos> if there's any networking gurus please msg me.  Im trying to connect a linux box to two lan's wired for connecting to file serving, and wireless for internet.
[22:12] <robdig> DetetiveX: there isn't one. use sudo
[22:12] <Taev> so whats the code name for 8.10
[22:12] <DetetiveX> hey, i've just instaled UBUNTU NETBOOK 10.10! what is the root password?! i need to administrate GRUB.. someone can help me?
[22:12] <DetetiveX> tks..
[22:12] <DetetiveX> sorry
[22:12] <bastidrazor> Taev: lsb_release -a will tell you
[22:13] <Taev> oh i was wrong its 8.04 LTS
[22:13] <Starminn> !root | DetetiveX
[22:13] <mitpatterson> ok, now i am having the installer ask me where the directy of C header files that match your running kernel
[22:13] <mitpatterson> then i get "The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an exsisting directy
[22:13] <randomuser> what's the ubuntu equivalent to chkconfig?
[22:13] <mitpatterson> and i've just been running the defaults
[22:13] <DetetiveX> i downloaded start up manager, when i open that ask me root password! i enter my admin password and its wrong
[22:14] <casts> DetetiveX: you could set a root password
[22:14] <ChrisBuchholz> ruan: I know got it to work. I had to download some firmware and so. If do iwconfig, it lists information about the wlan0 and that its not in use, but  as if it "understands" it, so i would guess its working, but the network manager thing in the panel says firmware missing. The documentation says i should go to Additional drivers and activate it, but i dont see it listed there.
[22:15] <ThinkT510> DetetiveX: you haven't got caps lock on, have you?
[22:15] <DetetiveX> no no..
[22:16] <mitpatterson> so.... what do i do for that question...
[22:16] <guntbert> mitpatterson: tell it /usr/src/linux-headers$(uname -r)
[22:16] <terry> !compile | mitpatterson
[22:16] <DetetiveX> casts how?!
[22:16] <robdig> DetetiveX: i'm not familiar with that program. if it is graphical, try starting from command line with gksudo in front of it
[22:16] <casts> mitpatterson: install the linux headers package package
[22:16] <Traintop> Hi Folks! -What is the most ubuntu-ish way of setting a wake-up-event in acpi?
[22:17] <lucid_j> Hi, I need some help..
[22:17] <bastidrazor> randomuser: chkconfig is available in the repo's.
[22:17] <lucid_j> I have to set JAVA_HOME pointing to correct path, how could I do that?
[22:17] <DetetiveX> robdig, I just want to administrate GRUB
[22:17] <Traintop> export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/...
[22:17] <DetetiveX> so i downloaded START UP MANAGER
[22:18] <guntbert> mitpatterson: did you install dkms already?
[22:18] <DetetiveX> but its asks me the root password, not the administrate password
[22:18] <DetetiveX> help me?!
[22:18] <cryptic_> hello everyone
[22:18] <randomuser> bastidrazor, thanks, ill check. i am curious about the native way of doing it, however
[22:18] <Taev> so whats the easiest way to upgrade my linux install with out losing all my important stuff
[22:18] <Taev> like MySQL database, and all the stuff i have working together for my webserver
[22:18] <adrien_> join #ubuntu-fr
[22:19] <Taev> upgrade version by version?
[22:19] <lucid_j> When I type echo $JAVA_HOME I get an empty line on terminal, but I have OpenJDK java runtime 1.9.7 installed
[22:19] <guntbert> Detective: it will ask for *your* password
[22:19] <ChrisBuchholz> Guys. I am trying to install the b43 wifi driver ofr my card. I think i have done it. If i say `modprobe -r b43` and then do iwconfig, the card is not listed, but then if i do `modprobe b43`, it is now listed as "is working", but the network indicator in the panel keeps saying -firmware missing-
[22:19] <DetetiveX> guntbert, but my password is wrong everytime
[22:19] <Traintop> Taev: backup your sql-db somewhere and then upgrade via GUI and IF your db is lost, restore it from your backup
[22:19] <DetetiveX> :/
[22:19] <ThinkT510> Taev: upgrade to the next lts 10.04
[22:19] <lucid_j> anyone?
[22:19] <Taev> ha, nm i compiled skype
[22:19] <Taev> i have no need to upgrade
[22:20] <Taev> Viva 8.04 LTS Forever!
[22:20] <DetetiveX> So how can I administrate the boot? To put windows standard
[22:21] <Traintop> no ideas what is the preferred way in ubuntu so set a wake-up-event in acpi?
[22:21] <guntbert> DetetiveX: hmm ... did you change your password ?
[22:21] <DetetiveX> guntbert no
[22:21] <Traintop> s/so/to/
[22:21] <th0r> DetetiveX: did you edit the sudoers file at some point?
[22:22] <guntbert> DetetiveX: ok, open a terminal and type    sudo ls   -  what happens?
[22:22] <cryptic_> have irc question.. im using xchat, and cannot seem to stay connected to any server (can connect, usually get room list and join one room) but after that its nothing but lag. i feel stupid asking.. havent been on irc in 18 yrs now. i did do some searching on line. running ubuntu 10.04. any help is most welcome and tia
[22:24] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: sounds like a problem with your wireless connection (assuming you are using wireless
[22:24] <ThinkT510> )
[22:25] <terry> randomuser: The ubuntu equivilant for chkconfig is chkconfig.
[22:25] <Moc22> I just downloaded 11.04 and tried to do a upgrade, but it hd doesn't work and seem stuck at saying installing
[22:25] <Mcl0vin> how do i reconfigure gnome please
[22:25] <Daekdroom> !natty | Moc22
[22:25] <terry> Moc22: Using the alternate CD?
[22:25] <cryptic_> ThinkT50: ty for reply. am wired to modem
[22:25] <Moc22> terry: urm nope, 64bit regular daily build
[22:26] <jont2383> hey can anyone help me install a new login theme for ubuntu ? i just cant seem to figure it out
[22:26] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: do you get any problems with other network apps (like browsers) or is it just lagging in irc
[22:26] <Moc22> terry: I switched from the GUI to console to get here, and if I go back to GUI, the window doesn't refresh and remain grey
[22:26] <terry> !upbrade | Moc22
[22:27] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: just irc. everything else is fast and stable. have 2 laptops that connect wireless as well
[22:28] <terry> Moc22: You've oritinally installed  64bit, right?
[22:28] <Moc22> terry: yes
[22:28] <bastidrazor> cryptic_: you're using a proxy?
[22:28] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: well, at least that rules out your network connection, do you get a lot of netsplits in irc?
[22:28] <robdig> DetetiveX: sorry, had to run for a minute. did someone else help you?
[22:29] <terry> Moc22: The system is fully updated, right?
[22:29] <Moc22> terry: urm, I didn't try to update before rebooting, but there were no notice of update for 10.10
[22:29] <rww> terry, Moc22: Natty and upgrades to it are not supported in #ubuntu. Please use #ubuntu+1 for this.
[22:29] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: i do get msgs couldnt look up hostname, and unable to ident. when connecting. not on proxy. havent seen any netsplits yet.
[22:30] <jont2383> does anyone know how to install a login screen theme in ubuntu ?
[22:30] <Moc22> I don't really care, I never do upgrade, I was just lazy to do a full install.. I'll go back and do a full
[22:30] <nattyRider> hello jont
[22:30] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: those are to do with registering your nick, nothing that should cause lag
[22:31] <jont2383> heya nattyrider
[22:31] <nattyRider> you have to get an istaller jont:
[22:32] <terry> Moc22:  I think you need the alternate CD
[22:32] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: is it lagging heavily now?
[22:32] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: i thought they were.. has been so long. am thinking is modem setting on my end, not to go woo-woo or anything..
[22:32] <jont2383> nattyrider: like the login window app in ubuntu ?
[22:32] <bazhang> jont2383, you want to install new gdm themes?
[22:33] <jont2383> bezhang : yes
[22:33] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: actually no. i connected to the ubuntu server option this time and am reading 0.0 lag
[22:33] <bazhang> jont2383, apt-cache search gdm turns up several
[22:33]  * cryptic_ have 10mps connect
[22:33] <navwey> shortcut key for changing screen ?
[22:33] <jont2383> bazhang : i already have the themes i want to install just cant seem to install them
[22:33] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: do you do a lot of downloading?
[22:33] <bazhang> peace-gdm-theme, sabily-gdm-themes, tropic-gdm-theme, ubuntume-gdm-themes jont2383 are what I have found using that
[22:33] <navwey> anyone known?
[22:34] <nattyRider> jont I am here..
[22:34] <nattyRider> yes sure.
[22:34] <bazhang> navwey, screen? as in wallpaper? or screen to be used with irssi
[22:34] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: a fair bit yes
[22:34] <jont2383> bazhang : i have the GDM theme just dont know how to install it or what directory it goes in
[22:35] <navwey> as in wallpaer
[22:35] <bazhang> jont2383, installed from repos?
[22:35] <Mcl0vin> so no support for ubuntu OAFIID:gnome_gohome here?
[22:35] <robdig> navwey? do you mean go to a virtual terminal? ctrl-alt-F1 through F6 will bring up virtual terminals, ctrl-alt-F7 will bring you back to gnome
[22:35] <bazhang> Mcl0vin, what are you trying to achieve, please clarify
[22:35] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: that would affect it i assume, ubuntu comes with transmission by default and you can set limits in download and upload speed (if you use torrents)
[22:35] <nattyRider> all you have to do is go to the ubunbtu server and look for the art software download...
[22:35] <maurizio-ubu> ciao
[22:36] <bazhang> nattyRider, ubuntu server? you mean repos?
[22:36] <Mcl0vin> bazhang: since i upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS , every time i log in i keep getting this error "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome"." do you want to delete the panel from your config
[22:36] <nattyRider> jont, I am talking to you...
[22:36] <nattyRider> yes..
[22:36] <jont2383> bazhang i just have the tar.gz file for the ogiin window screen with all the .pnp's a .xml file etc and i need to know where to drop all that in the right path or some kinf of login window theme manager/installer
[22:36] <bazhang> nattyRider, please tab<complete> nicknames or they are lost
[22:36] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: i use the transmission. currently have nothing running except this tho. no browser open even
[22:36] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: it's probably not lagging now because you're not downloading now
[22:37] <nattyRider> ok, sure. you got me..
[22:37] <bazhang> nattyRider, like nat<tab> brings up your nickname
[22:37] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: next time you're getting lag, check if transmission is downloading and see if setting some limits help alleviate the lag
[22:38] <nattyRider> ok.. i understand.
[22:38] <Mcl0vin> bazhang: any idea how to fix it please?
[22:38] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: turned all else off earlier and was still same. is almost like i disconnect from server after about minute. it will no longer show/accept my commands joins or anything after that first minute or two
[22:38] <bazhang> Mcl0vin, still searching, please be patient
[22:39] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: hmm, that is odd, wish i could help further
[22:39] <Mcl0vin> bazhang: cool thank you, however i searched gnome forums and google but no luck....maybe you will find something i over looked
[22:39] <bobng> 78.46.151.85 root:flood123
[22:39] <bobng> oh fuck
[22:39] <bazhang> bobng, no cursing
[22:40] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: perhaps the guys in #freenode could help if it is irc specific?
[22:40] <Sary33> Hi all
[22:40] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: is okay, will figure it out in time.
[22:40] <robdig> jont2383: if you mean the way you used to be able to customize the login screen, you can't do that after 9.04 (i think, may have been earlier). I used to have a lovely login window, but now the ugly list of users (which i consider a security threat)
[22:40] <Sary33> I need some help, I am trying to install Linux but it won't let me move forward
[22:40] <bazhang> Sary33, what version of ubuntu
[22:40] <Sary33> I'm on a netbook and downloaded the netbook ubuntu, but can't see the very bottom of my screen...
[22:40] <Sary33> 10.10 or whathaveyou
[22:41] <navwey> shortcut key for desk2
[22:41] <navwey> ?
[22:41] <bazhang> Sary33, please be precise
[22:41] <bazhang> Mcl0vin, are you switching desktop modes?
[22:41] <Sary33> Its the most recent version, I believe the numbers are 10.10
[22:41] <jont2383> robdig, really you cant install login screens in 10.10?
[22:41] <Sary33> ubuntu netbook remix 10.10
[22:41] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: sounds good, just jumped in there and will see if i can dig up an idea or two. have already dug thru modem but still think problem lies with it (i dont like it anyway, maybe i get new one ^-^)
[22:41] <cryptic_> ThinkT510: thank u again
[22:41] <bazhang> Sary33, then alt grab with mouse to move it
[22:42] <Mcl0vin> bazhang: i don't know what is that....the issue start to show as soon as i upgrade my destro
[22:42] <nictrasavios> 10.10 = october 2010. they new 11.04, means april 2011, just a fun fact.
[22:42] <ThinkT510> cryptic_: np, hope you get it resolved
[22:42] <robdig> jont2383: no :(
[22:42] <Sary33> Ah that was good. But unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem,
[22:42] <bazhang> Mcl0vin, moving from netbook to desktop mode for example
[22:42] <nictrasavios> You can know your version just by knowing the date :P
[22:42] <robdig> navwey: do you mean the desktop switcher? ctrl-alt-<left arrow> and ctrl-alt-<right arrow>
[22:42] <Sary33> the install says 'ready when you are' and I had to fill in my name/my computers name/password etc. but the Forward button is not clickable
[22:42] <Mcl0vin> bazhang: this is an hp mini
[22:42] <bazhang> Sary33, then give a precise view of your issues, and what you are attempting then
[22:43] <Sary33> yes thank you, I'm fairly sure that's what I did yes? How can I be more precise?
[22:43] <bazhang> Sary33, use only lower case
[22:43] <Sary33> WOW
[22:43] <Sary33> Why did it have check points next to it if it has to be all lowercase? I'm amazed.
[22:44] <bazhang> Sary33, in the information, its a bug
[22:44] <Mcl0vin> bazhang: how can i switch back and forward
[22:44] <Starminn> I agree. The lower-case is a pain
[22:44] <nictrasavios> Sary33, i noticed this myself. Id seems to be something they overlooked.
[22:44] <bazhang> Mcl0vin, just confirming your issue, I found a thread on ubuntu forums with a fix if thats it
[22:44] <Sary33> Thats too funny, well thanks! Thats all for now
[22:44] <nictrasavios> Yes... My name should be Nictra Savios, unfortunatly.... *sigh*, you can force the upper case letters, but it can lead to a few issues down the road :)
[22:45] <Sary33> hahahaha
[22:45] <Mcl0vin> bazhang: i am willing to try it
[22:45] <Sary33> Awesome. Alright. Hope I won't be back soon :)
[22:46] <nictrasavios> Sary33, when you dig deep into the command line, and your all set up and stable, then you can learn the way to force in those uppercase letters, by the time you ready, you wont need any help in doing so :)
[22:46] <ubuntum0n> anyone here using ubuntu 10.10?
[22:46] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, i am.
[22:46] <bazhang> Mcl0vin, see the last post in this thread, it seems to be applicable perhaps http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1135471.html
[22:46] <rww> ubuntum0n: Many people are. It's best just to ask your actual question.
[22:46] <bazhang> ubuntum0n, please ask a real question
[22:46] <jont2383> robdig, you can change your login screen using the System -> Administration -> login screen and change it so it doesnt list the users
[22:47] <titos> im
[22:47] <ubuntum0n> nictrasavios, do you have multiple accounts?
[22:47] <robdig> jont2383: cool, thanks. when they first brought this ugly thing up, you couldn't do that.
[22:47] <ubuntum0n> are you able to log off and log in?
[22:47] <bazhang> ubuntum0n, all on one line, please
[22:47] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, yes i do :) 7 infact.
[22:47] <jont2383> not a prob
[22:48] <ubuntum0n> nictrasavios, i'm having an issue when i log out of an account. the screen just goes black and there isnt a login screen
[22:48] <jont2383> robdig, not a problem man... there are stuff out there that says you can change your login theme in 10.10 but i havent been able to figure out how or if there just going off old info
[22:49] <SwapOne_GB> hi ppl
[22:49] <linuxNewb> whats the linux console equivalent of /p?
[22:49] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, hmm. dose it go black to a command line and some text? Or just black black. Is the computer still on or dose it appear shutdown? (sleep, hibernation,etc)
[22:49] <SwapOne_GB> any 1 near manchester ?
[22:49] <bazhang> !ot | SwapOne_GB
[22:49] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, oh, and what level of user are you? Do you know a litte, or alot about ubuntu?
[22:49] <arand> linuxNewb: "| less" If I get your question.
[22:50] <rww> SwapOne_GB: You may find #ubuntu-uk useful.
[22:50] <ubuntum0n> nictrasavios, the computer is still running. no command line. not even by hitting 'control+alt+f1' or 'control+alt+f7'
[22:50] <robdig> jont2383: i tried for some time when they first changed it. it was probably the most unpopular change i've seen them make. guess we'll see how unity goes over. maybe we can customize the login with unity?
[22:50] <SwapOne_GB> thx
[22:51] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, have you done any odd customisation? such as messing with somthing known as "gdm" or have you changed the login manager in anyway?
[22:51] <jont2383> robdig, hopefully.... not being able to change the login screen in ubuntu 10.10 is stupid decision on their part
[22:52] <irule> hi I am writing a php scrtipt to manage recieved files from usb, I want to know the list of memory sticks attached to the local pc and then I want to browse them, I have the vague idea that udev is the sh|t for this, but what is your opinion? thanks!

[22:53] <ChrisBuchholz> Guys, i have a problem with my wifi drivers. If I modprobe 'wl' and do an iwconfig, i have a eth1 card and in the network-indicator, wifi is on. If i remove the wl module and modprobe 'b43' and then do iwconfig, i have a wlan1, but the network-indicator says "firmware missing" at the wifi spot
[22:53] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, just send the link of the paste when done :)
[22:53] <ChrisBuchholz> Whats up with that? It seems like it is working from iwconfig
[22:53] <arand> linuxNewb: "|" is a pipe, meaning you take the output from the first command, and send it to the second command, less happens to be a useful pager.
[22:54] <bazhang> ChrisBuchholz, what version of ubuntu
[22:54] <rww> ChrisBuchholz: Ubuntu does not include the firmware needed by the b43 driver because it is not legally redistributable. See the wikipage ubottu's about to link you to for information on getting it.
[22:54] <rww> !bcm43xx | ChrisBuchholz
[22:54] <aum> what does it mean when a script has the shebang line "#!/bin/bash", and permissions 755, and runs fine with the command "bash hello.sh"  but gets "bash: Permission denied" when I try to run it as "./hello.sh"
[22:54] <ubuntum0n> nictrasavios, its done
[22:55] <Viking667> I've got a weird little GL problem. ATI HD 3450 videocard, 2Gb memory, and Pentium Dual Core. Ubuntu 10.10. What should I check when I've got blank GL windows? Xorg.0.log shows the DRI's present and switched on, or so it seems to me.
[22:55] <ChrisBuchholz> bazhang: 11.04, but should be the same
[22:55] <ChrisBuchholz> rww: i have tried installing it! installed the b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer packages
[22:55] <bazhang> ChrisBuchholz, natty support in #ubuntu+1
[22:55] <Viking667> GL was previously working, and I don't know what on earth I've done since.
[22:55] <guntbert> ubuntum0n: tell us the link :)
[22:55] <ChrisBuchholz> rww: in /lib/firmware i also have the stuff i should have, i believe
[22:56] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, alright, i did some research. , can you send me the link to your pastebin
[22:56] <ChrisBuchholz> bazhang: aint natty related. problems persists on maverick also
[22:56] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, im 70% sure i know whats causeing it :)
[22:56] <rww> ChrisBuchholz: I've had odd problems with wl and b43 interacting. But as bazhang says, if you're using 11.04...
[22:57] <donri> Samba shares configured via nautilus; where's the configuration stored?
[22:57] <Viking667> donri: try .gconf (use gconf-editor) I suspect
[22:57] <ChrisBuchholz> rww: okay - i dont use 11.04 - i lied, i use 10.10.
[22:58] <ubuntum0n> nictrasavios, thanks for the help
[22:58] <ChrisBuchholz> rww: :)
[22:58] <todulchaos> if there's any networking gurus please msg me.  Im trying to connect a linux box to two lan's wired for connecting to file serving, and wireless for internet.
[22:58] <rww> ChrisBuchholz: I don't know anything about bcm4312 cards. I lied, I use ethernet for everything.
[22:58] <hihihi100> when will 11.04 be out?
[22:58] <rww> hihihi100: end of April
[22:59] <ChrisBuchholz> rww: i've tried in 10.10 also, and if you search on the forums and so, you see people have problems with it on both 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04
[22:59] <terry> todulchaos: Trying to connect to tow lan's?
[22:59] <hihihi100> how do I make my 10.10 stop initializing every session as root? i cannot access trash or external hard drives
[23:00] <terry> todulchaos: Can you re-phrase the question?
[23:01] <terry> *two
[23:01] <theamazingbeat> could someone please take a look at my forum thread :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1710337
[23:02] <nictrasavios> ubuntum0n, alright, try turning off desktop effects. Its a problem with your graphics card, from looking through about 10-15 pages, i cannot find a solution. Most reinstalled... no word on if it helped or not. It seems many people have had this problem, Try looking for drivers for your hardware, i am ,personally, not knowlageable on drivers. But i from what i can see, your issue has everything to do with xwindows not starting properly
[23:02] <nictrasavios> after a session has ended. One workaround for it is, instead of logging off, switch users instead. Although a little less secure, this may help. You said your running under a wubi install? This may be part of it. Although thats only an educated guess.
[23:02] <cryptic_> got it mostly figured out now, thx again. problem mostly lack of coffee, and homework :))
[23:02] <ubuntum0n> nictrasavios, ok. thanks alot. i'll check it out
[23:03] <Cube``> i'm trying to find the files that belong to libgeos!? where are they?
[23:03] <hiexpo> find command
[23:04] <xlogik> Can someone explain this error I'm getting? http://paste.ubuntu.com/582683/
[23:04] <ubuntum0n> nictrasavios, one more thing: the login screen will display correctly after a boot. but if you log off, blackness. the only resolve is to reboot (hassle but livable)
[23:04] <Cube``> i'm trying to find the files that belong to libgeos!? where are they?
[23:04] <terry> theamazingbeat: Well, I don't know for sure, but I suppose you could ditch Win7 and just use nfs.
[23:05] <bastidrazor> Cube``: dpkg -L packagename will show where every file associated with packagename went
[23:05] <Cube``> bastidrazor: thanks!
[23:06] <bastidrazor> Cube``: you're welcome
[23:06] <terry> ubuntum0n: nictrasavios Not sure what you guys are experiencing, but, you have just a black screen. Right?  What happens if you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 or Ctrl-Alt-F5 ?
[23:07] <nictrasavios> terry, i belive he said that didnt work, let me read back a bit.
[23:07] <nictrasavios> terry, he tried cntl+alt+f1 and cntl+al+f7.
[23:08] <ubuntum0n> terry, nothing happens. just black screen
[23:08] <terry> ubuntum0n: nictrasavios And does this behaviour also exist when loging out from the original user?
[23:09] <theamazingbeat> ya that is not going to happen lol
[23:09] <gluonman_> If you've issued the command "sudo sh -c 'echo -n "0000:00:12.2" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind' is it possible to reverse it?  And if you try to set read permissions on /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind, how can the resulting broken file be repaired?  I just don't know how to reverse the changes that I think completely broke my kernel after trying to do update-grub && update-initramfs -u
[23:09] <terry> nictrasavios: Yea, but it may have already been on cntl+alt+f1 and cntl+al+f7  I would try one of the others between f1 and f7
[23:09] <ubuntum0n> terry, yes. it boots up fine. shows login screen with users. logs in fine. but when i log out to change users it just goes to a black screen. hangs or something
[23:10] <ChrisBuchholz> rww: so if i tell you that i have asked on #ubuntu+1 but no one answers, could that talk you over?
[23:11] <rww> ChrisBuchholz: I'm aware, I'm sitting in #ubuntu+1. I'm not answering because Ubuntu moved around firmware packages in Maverick and Natty, and I don't have a BCM4312 card and thus don't know what they did.
[23:11] <terry> ubuntum0n: That is interesting. What about ctrl-alt-f8 ?
[23:11] <rww> ChrisBuchholz: (I switched the one I had for a card that doesn't need non-free software installed.)
[23:11] <ubuntum0n> terry, i've tried them all f1-f12
[23:11] <|asp> Hi, anyone using ZFS in Ubuntu?
[23:11] <terry> ubuntum0n: Ok...
[23:11] <|asp> trying to mount a zfs volume which I moved over from an opensolaris.  The KQStor ZFS doesn't have the shareiscsi or iscsi target available so I'm trying to figure out how to share the volume as an iscsi target
[23:12] <nictrasavios> terry, ubuntum0n  i did some digging, its a common issue, that it appears to have not been solved
[23:13] <terry> ubuntum0n: I think I would, at that point, ssh in from another PC and see what is running or not running.  Like ps aux |grep gdm  or  ps aux |grep X
[23:13] <ubuntum0n> terry, what i'd like to do is just put 10.04 Lucid Lynx on this system. its a compaq thats running windows xp. i've got an ubuntu cd, configured bios to boot from cd first, but it still goes to windows.
[23:14] <ChrisBuchholz> rww: ah i see.
[23:14] <terry> ubuntum0n: That's what I run
[23:15] <terry> LTS
[23:15] <ubuntum0n> yes
[23:15] <ubuntum0n> i've got it on my other system
[23:15] <Kroosec> nickserv
[23:16] <ubuntum0n> terry, with this system not wanting to boot from cd, do you think i may have a bad .iso image on the disk?
[23:16] <ccvvcc> how can i add line every 10 lines in text file?
[23:17] <Viking667> cross-posting is frowned upon, dude.
[23:17] <gluonman_> My latest kernel will no longer boot passed the initial splash screen ever since running update-burg && update-initramfs -u.  Have to consistently boot into previous kernel.  How to diagnose?
[23:18] <fr00g> Why do I, when I click on a folder in my "Places", I get a box saying "No application is registered as handling this file"?
[23:19] <xangua> fr00g: create a folder>right clic>open with other>open folder
[23:19] <terry> fr00g: Probably because it's a directory and not a file....?
[23:19] <gansbrest_> hi, is there a way I can tune IO on Ubuntu?
[23:19] <fr00g> No, it's supposed to open Nautilus
[23:19] <thruxton> ccvvcc: http://www.linuxhowtos.org/System/sedoneliner.htm?ref=news.rdf
[23:19] <valorin> Anyone here have any experience getting the gnome3-team PPA working on a natty install to run gnome-shell?
[23:19] <terry> fr00g: O
[23:20] <rww> valorin: #ubuntu+1 for natty stuff
[23:20] <valorin> thanks rww
[23:20] <valorin> :)
[23:20] <xlogik> Can someone explain this error &/or how to fix it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/582683/
[23:20] <edbian> gansbrest_, What do you mean 'tune' I/O ?
[23:21] <gansbrest_> Recently I bought a new box with i7 cpu and 6Gb of memory, but I've got 7200rpms hardrive.. When I run Simpletest or any other IO intensive operations it's just 2 or 3 times slower that my previous 3 years old box with 7200rpms as well. Is there anything I can do to check IO config on my box. Maybe it's configured incorrectly or something
[23:21] <gluonman_> I ran sudo update-initramfs -u && sudo update-burg and since then the kernel will not boot passed splashscreen.  I have to boot into the previous kernel, but afraid to try to update it as well for fear that a configuration file got messed up.  How can I diagnose the problem?
[23:21] <Viking667> gansbrest_: ugh. Sounds ugly
[23:23] <edbian> gansbrest_, I don't think there is anything that's ready out of the box.  You could read the source code or write your own app to measure the performance.  It would be hard.
[23:26] <gluonman_> My latest kernel is broken after running sudo update-initramfs -u && sudo update-burg.  I only have guesses about what might have broke it, but I have no idea how to diagnose it or get my new kernel to boot passed splashscreen.
[23:27] <gluonman_> How can I look into the problem?
[23:27] <UcefKH> hello
[23:27] <UcefKH> welcome
[23:28] <Starminn> linux-header-[versionnumber]-generic are the stuff that appear in GRUB, right?
[23:29] <edbian> gluonman_, turn off splash in the grub entry.  read what is written
[23:29] <gluonman_> edbian, kk thank you  I'll do that.
[23:29] <UcefKH> may be
[23:29] <edbian> gluonman_, good luck!
[23:32] <ccvvcc> i need help with it
[23:33] <ccvvcc> the best i found is sed '/perl/G
[23:33] <kpoman> hey all, do someone know how to install 2.6.38 ?
[23:34] <iqpi> kpoman: download the sourcers
[23:34] <kpoman> iqpi: any deb ready to install ?
[23:34] <kpoman> and compatible with 10.10 ?
[23:34] <iqpi> don't know
[23:34] <kpoman> anyone ?
[23:35] <rattlebone> I have a question, yet I fear being mocked.
[23:36] <rattlebone> So here goes anyway.
[23:36] <rattlebone> I have an EC2 instance
[23:36] <rattlebone> and I am using 10.10 as my Desktop
[23:36] <HelloWorld321> Why doesn't it take when I try to change the owner to mysql using: chown -HR mysql:mysql Data
[23:36] <kpoman> iqpi: if I wanted to compile my own kernel, how do I know which .config is now running on my box so I can make oldconfig of it ?
[23:37] <rattlebone> I would love to be able to download log files to my deskop using a GUI
[23:37] <rattlebone> is this possible without changing permissions?
[23:37] <kpoman> iqpi: and will I lose my gl/compiz/vbox/etc... kernel modules dead ?
[23:38] <bastidrazor> rattlebone: most files in /var/log are readable by all
[23:38] <canti_> I'm looking for a twiiter app that works with their oauth support. I've tried others but havent been able to connect
[23:38] <robdig> HelloWorld321: what user id are you when you issue the chown? if not root, then put sudo in front of it
[23:38] <iqpi> kpoman: you wont loose anything, but you will have to rebuild them to run with that kernel
[23:38] <HelloWorld321> I'm root
[23:39] <iqpi> kpoman: just reinstalling the driver
[23:39] <ccvvcc> how can i add line every 10 lines in text file?
[23:39] <kpoman> iqpi: so basically I will lose the deb / synaptic / updates / etc ability
[23:39] <jont2383> does anyone know that path to the login theme directory
[23:39] <Viking667> ccvvcc: you were already given an answer.
[23:39] <robdig> HelloWorld321: and Data is a sym link to the real data directory?
[23:39] <bastidrazor> rattlebone: please keep your responses in channel.
[23:39] <ccvvcc> i didnt find it there..
[23:39] <iqpi> kpoman: no, you wont loose that
[23:39] <HelloWorld321> robdig: No, but I'd like to do that next.
[23:39] <rattlebone> sorry
[23:39] <iqpi> kpoman: your system will be with the same programmes you had
[23:39] <[thor]> jont2383: unfortunately, ubuntu has moved to "gdm2" and old themes do not work
[23:40] <jont2383> ahhh
[23:40] <[thor]> jont2383: i have been messing around for 2 weeks trying to do the same thing
[23:40] <robdig> HelloWorld321: so Data is your real data directory? then drop try dropping the H
[23:40] <iqpi> kpoman: but you will need to rebuild you drivers for you vga and perhaps virtualbox modules
[23:40] <ccvvcc> the best thing i found is sed s/\n.*\n.*/line/g
[23:40] <ccvvcc> and its not working
[23:40] <bastidrazor> rattlebone: you will not be able to upload a modified log file back to /var/log.. /var/log is writable by an admin account only
[23:40] <nictrasavios> jont2383, yes i do.
[23:40] <ccvvcc> \n.* X 10
[23:40] <jont2383> [thor], yeah i'be been trying for tha past 12 hours to figure it out
[23:40] <[thor]> jont2383: you can find a package on http//www.launchpad.net called "gdm2setup" but the "themes" tab is disabled until the gnome team can decide on a standard for theming
[23:41] <canti_> what's a good twitter app that works with oauth?
[23:41] <nictrasavios> nictrasavios, let me get my second harddrive hooked up, i have everything you need there.
[23:41] <jont2383> nictrasavios, what is it please ?
[23:41] <rattlebone> I was able to do this using winscp on windows...it put a sudo su- in front of each action....
[23:41] <jont2383> [thor], thanks for that info bud
[23:41] <xangua> canti_: ubuntu comes with gwibber
[23:41] <rattlebone> logs are just an example...
[23:41] <nictrasavios> jont2383, give me a minute, i have to figure it out.
[23:41] <HelloWorld321> robdig: I get no message when I run the chown.  When I check the permissions (as root in Nautilus), I still see the owner of Data as "root"
[23:41] <kpoman> just a last question, how do I know if I run x386 or amd64 ?
[23:41] <[thor]> jont2383: the most you can do is change the background image, but not the position/shape/etc of the prompt/menubar
[23:42] <Jordan_U> ccvvcc: You'll want to use awk or a loop in a full language like python (or even a for loop in bash).
[23:42] <bastidrazor> kpoman: uname -m .. x86_64 is 64bit.. anything else is 32bit
[23:42] <iqpi> kpoman: run uname -r
[23:42] <robdig> HelloWorld321: maybe nautilus hasn't updated? hit f5
[23:42] <kpoman> 2.6.35-27-generic
[23:42] <iqpi> kpoman: if you see something about x86_64 = 64 bits, if you see i386 then x32
[23:42] <jont2383> [thor],  thats ok thats fine with me for now
[23:42] <kpoman> ok so x386
[23:43] <nictrasavios> jont2383, alright, ill send you a link to a deb of an login theme, you can take that apart, full instructions are with it okay?
[23:43] <jont2383> nictrasavios, thanks man
[23:43] <[thor]> nictrasavios: post here please, i'd like to look as well
[23:43] <HelloWorld321> robdig: owner is still root.  If I try to change owner in Nautilus, then it changes right back to root, instantly
[23:44] <UcefKH> just go to a shel & use chmod
[23:44] <nictrasavios> jont2383,  [thor]  alright :) just give me a second.
[23:44] <UcefKH> to change any root or user
[23:44] <nictrasavios> jont2383,  [thor]  this is much faster then explaining it all to you, http://www.mediafire.com/?7dbegie4yj01xhi
[23:44] <robdig> HelloWorld321: if filesystem local to your machine?
[23:45] <robdig> :s/if/is/
[23:45] <jont2383> nictrasavios, thanks man
[23:45] <bastidrazor> HelloWorld321: Alt+F2  then gksudo nautilus  ::that will give nautilus permissions to write/read anything. be careful
[23:45] <HelloWorld321> The Data folder is on a  mounted Vista NTFS partition on the same HD
[23:45] <nictrasavios> jont2383, read the odt file with it, in contains a wealth of knowlage.
[23:45] <lyger> smw: installed ubu
[23:46] <UcefKH> yes me
[23:46] <UcefKH> ubu 10.10
[23:46] <robdig> HelloWorld321: i've had problems writing to ntfs as root on my machine...
[23:46] <nerdy_kid> someone want to help me with this bash script?  It says that I have a "bad for loop variable", but I can't figure out exactly what that means.  http://pastebin.com/Kbj5fKc1 @line 57  Thanks!
[23:47] <astley> I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver
[23:47] <nictrasavios> robdig, why did you set your root partition to ntfs?
[23:47] <Viking667> You've got $HOURS<=$1, don't need the $ on $HOURS
[23:48] <robdig> nictrasavios: i didn't. it is mounted off my home directory. but if i'm the root user, then i have issues writing to the ntfs disk
[23:48] <kpoman> ok installed gonna try it out
[23:48] <UcefKH> php

[23:48] <nictrasavios> robdig,  ubuntu version?
[23:48] <robdig> nictrasavios: 10.10
[23:49] <WaterRatj> I'm trying to make a symlink to a folder but instead of making the folder the symlink it adds an symlink to the folder in that folder
[23:49] <Viking667> WaterRatj: what are you using/
[23:49] <Viking667> ?
[23:49] <robdig> nictrasavios: but i'm not having an issue, was trying to help HelloWorld321 who couldn't change permissions on one of his directories
[23:49] <astley> I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver
[23:49] <nictrasavios> robdig, i have no idea why you would have any ntfs issues on 10.10 .. hmm.
[23:49] <nictrasavios> robdig, oh alright.
[23:49] <HelloWorld321> robdig: when I try to change the owner (as root from inside Nautus), the menu shows "mysql-MySQL Server" .... do I need to "chown mysql:mysql" or do I need to "chown mysql-MySQL Server:mysql" ?
[23:50] <WaterRatj> ln -s /home/waterratj/Dropbox/MyFolder /waterratj
[23:50] <nerdy_kid> Viking667: that didnt fix it.  The function runs fine if I cut it out and run it in a different script, I just cant figure out why it wont run here.
[23:50] <Viking667> WaterRatj: normally that'd create a link into Myfolder from /waterratj
[23:50] <nictrasavios> HelloWorld321,  the 1st one is always the main user, the 2nd is the group. user:group , for me its nictrasavios:bAdGigabit , as i am user "nictrasavios" in group "bAdGigait"
[23:50] <Viking667> nerdy_kid: hm? Which function's that?
[23:51] <robdig> HelloWorld321, nictrasavios i don't really know, don't have vista to play with. not that i'm complaining. nictrasavios any thoughts?
[23:51] <WaterRatj> It made a new symlink to the Myfolder in /waterratj but thats not what I want
[23:51] <Viking667> then what is it you want?
[23:51] <nerdy_kid> Viking667: the time_convert function
[23:51] <WaterRatj> I want /waterratj to be the symlink of that myfolder, not a folder in that
[23:51] <thesary> Hi all,
[23:51] <nictrasavios> robdig,  okay so whats the issue, are his / and /home in ext2/3/4 , and something else in ntfs? Or did he put his root partitons as ntfs?
[23:51] <Viking667> WaterRatj: does /waterratj exist?
[23:51] <thesary> I seem to be running into some confusion from running the netbook remix version of ubuntu 10.10 rather than the regular version,
[23:52] <thesary> does anyone else run the netbook remix?
[23:52] <WaterRatj> I created it then did that ls thing
[23:52] <nictrasavios> thesary, i did for a few weeks.
[23:52] <bazhang> thesary, whats the question
[23:52] <astley> I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver
[23:52] <robdig> nictrasavios: the mysql data directory he is trying to chmod is on vista ntfs. and he can't chmod, even as root
[23:52] <HelloWorld321> nictrasavios: is the user "mysql"?  or is it "mysql-MySQL Server" and if it's the latter, how do I put in spaces and dashes for a username?
[23:52] <Viking667> try this:  rm /waterratj; ln -s /home/waterratj/dropbox/MyFolder /waterratj
[23:52] <thesary> I'm trying to get into "System" to go fuck with my mouse settings and that sort of thing... I can't right click, and theres no menu bar at the top where the ubuntu 10.10 tells me to get to it
[23:52] <bazhang> thesary, no cursing here
[23:53] <Viking667> then ls -l /waterratj
[23:53] <thesary> Sorry!
[23:53] <HelloWorld321> root@ubuntu:/windows/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5# sudo chown -R mysql:mysql Data
[23:53] <HelloWorld321> ... is what I'm using to try to change the owner of my "Data" folder to "mysql"
[23:53] <nictrasavios> HelloWorld321,  dont count my word as god, but i belive windows compondents handle their permissions differently then linux dose.
[23:53] <HelloWorld321> nictrasavios: that makes quite a bit of sense
[23:53] <astley> I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver
[23:53] <Viking667> oooo crikey.
[23:54] <nictrasavios> HelloWorld321, i know personally, if i change the permission of a file in windows to "root" when i logg into windows, it dosent change a thing.
[23:54] <nictrasavios> compiz
[23:55] <nictrasavios> nvm
[23:55] <robdig> HelloWorld321, nictrasavios: this link is kinda what i remembered when i had some issues with ntfs long ago...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347923
[23:55] <HelloWorld321> nictrasavios: here's my actual problem.  When  I installed ubuntu, I wasn't able to shrink the Vista partition, so I need to get my big files (like databases) into the larger Vista partition.  The instructions for how to do that include using chown, but the chown never takes.
[23:55] <Viking667> hm. I've got a rt73usb device, how do I tickle that into HostAP mode?
[23:55] <Viking667> oh, hang on ... that's a  google question.
[23:55] <HelloWorld321> mictrasavios: I'm following these instructions http://www.ubuntu-howto.info/howto/how-to-move-mysql-databases-to-another-location-partition-or-hard-drive
[23:56] <HelloWorld321> I'll go check robdig's thread
[23:56] <nerdy_kid> Viking667: nvm, the script was using /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash so that was throwing the error
[23:56] <gluonman> edbian, all I got after removing the splash screen is the following: "[     4.616230] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device \ [       4.621557] uvesafb: framebuffer at 0xfb000000, mapped to 0xffffc90011800000, using 14336k, total 14336k \ [     4.621560] fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device"  Then it just gave me a login prompt (command-line only).  Does that give you any clue what might be wrong with my kernel?
[23:56] <scarleo> HelloWorld321: I believe it can be made if you mount your ntfs disk with other mount options
[23:56] <gluonman> Because it doesn't give me any clue.
[23:56] <nictrasavios> HelloWorld321, sadly i gotta be off, see if you 2 can solve it , i bet your getting close, ill send a friend in. Hes a multisystem expert. I work in a cluster. Just do not ask for his name.
[23:57] <robdig> HelloWorld321, nictrasavios: but that link did get me thinking, and i checked and i set the ownership in the mount command now in fstab
[23:57] <WaterRatj> Viking667: Thanks
[23:57] <edbian> gluonman, login and type sudo gdm
[23:58] <robdig> robdig: you can include a user and group name on the mount of an ntfs mount. but it changes all files to that uid:gid
[23:58] <gluonman> edbian, kk I'll do that, then I'll be back after.
[23:58] <HelloWorld321> I did put my Vista partition in the ftab, and did mount -a ...
[23:58] <HelloWorld321> # NTFS Windows VistapPartition (?)
[23:58] <HelloWorld321> /dev/sda2 /windows              ntfs-3g    quiet,defaults,locale=en_us.utf8,umask=8,rw 0       2
[23:58] <thesary> Does anyone else use the netbook remix version of Ubuntu 10.10?
[23:58] <scarleo> HelloWorld321: Like adding fmask=0111 or similar, trry google there are plenty of hits
[23:58] <bAdSystems> I was called to Freenode chatroom #ubuntu by the one known as nictrasavios. My brother informed me of an issue, how may i be of service.
[23:58] <WaterRatj> Also Anyone else have problems with the notification area of ubuntu?

[23:59] <HelloWorld321> scarleo, robdig: I think the setting that's involved for me is the umask=8, I got that from wikipedia, but I don't know what I'm doing
[23:59] <Lancelot> Problem: My numpad is controlling my mouse with the number lock enabled. How do I fix this?
[23:59] <RedLance> Ubuntu 9.10 seems to work fine on my system.  10.10 shuts the system down randomly, but always after only a few minutes of being booted up.  AMD Athlon X2 64 5000+ CPU, 3 gig ram, Nvidia graphics card.  Where do I start looking for the issue?
[23:59] <HelloWorld321> scarleo: is umask=8 the same as fmask=0111?
[23:59] <robdig> HelloWorld321: here is what my mount command in fstab looks like: i'm mounting across a network so it is some differetn. //192.168.1.103/radagast	/home/robert/radagast	cifs	uid=robert,gid=robert,user=robert,password=""	0	0

[23:59] <astley> I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver
[23:59] <Lancelot> Problem: My numpad is controlling my mouse with the number lock enabled. How do I fix this?
[23:59] <kpoman> ok, installed 2.6.38, really incredible
