[00:38] <LukasB> Hey everybody! I am new to ubuntu and I just want to download something from the Internet. I would like to learn to use the terminal. Is there a command for doing that? I want to download Drupal 6.20
[00:39] <head_victim> LukasB: sudo apt-get install drupal<tab><tab> should give you options of what packages are available that begin with "drupal" (the <tab> is actually pressing the tab key on the keyboard)
[00:45] <LukasB> head_victim: Thanks looks great! Put out an error first but delivered a solution as well :) Shall I install with or without verification?
[00:45] <LukasB> Whats the difference?
[00:47] <LukasB> ah thats only for some packages...
[00:47] <head_victim> LukasB: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto is a good place to start on how it all works
[00:47] <head_victim> As for the verification without seeing the error message itself I'm just guessing but you might have repositories installed without keys installed for them as well
[00:48] <LukasB> hmm... okay... thanks for the link!
[00:50] <head_victim> No worries, it's what we're here for :)

[14:13] <aztek> mmmmm
[14:13] <duanedesign> mmhmmm
[14:28] <s-fox> Hello.
[14:50] <kerneloops_> hi
[14:53] <s-fox> Hello kerneloops_ .
[14:59] <kerneloops_> How can I remove Totem Movie player file association from every file?
[14:59] <kerneloops_> (because I want to keep it installed)
[15:00] <kerneloops_> I want to use VLC for all video files
[15:08] <xardas008> one possibility is to change it via the Properties of each filetype
[15:09] <kerneloops_> yeah I know :p
[15:10] <kerneloops_> xardas008: in preferences > preferred applications > multimedia tab I set it to vlc
[15:10] <kerneloops_> but didnt change a thing
[15:10] <xardas008> rightclick on the file --> properties --> open with tab
[15:10] <kerneloops_> I know that way
[15:11] <xardas008> i don't know another way
[15:11] <kerneloops_> :P
[15:23] <aztek> how to know recently file that open in ubuntu???
[15:23] <xardas008> in which kontext aztek ?
[15:25] <aztek> for example our PC borrowed by friend
[15:25] <aztek> and in that PC we have personal file
[15:25] <xardas008> you are using gnome?
[15:26] <aztek> yes
[15:26] <xardas008> on places you have a point recent documents, maybe that's what you're looking for?
[15:26] <duanedesign> if you had Gnome Activity Journal it uses the information gathered by zeitgeist to show recent activity
[15:31] <aztek> where can we find zeitgeist?
[15:33] <xardas008> zeitgeist will be installed if you are using the gnome-shell (gnome3)
[15:34] <aztek> thank you for information...
[15:34] <aztek> am want off
[15:34] <aztek> I wanna go to bad
[15:35] <aztek> it is time to sleep
[15:35] <aztek> by
[15:42] <kerneloops_> .
[15:45] <MrChrisDruif> Hai kerneloops_
[15:47] <kerneloops_> hai
[15:58] <kerneloops_> Is this really needed? pppd-dns                    Restore resolv.conf if the system crashed.
[15:59] <MrChrisDruif> I don't know kerneloops_
[16:00] <kerneloops_> MrChrisDruif: I know resolve.conf is just the config file for DNS server
[16:01] <kerneloops_> i can fix it manually dont need a service for it :x
[16:01] <MrChrisDruif> If you can fix it manually, then I *guess* you don't need it :)
[16:01] <kerneloops_> :)
[16:02] <kerneloops_> I like to express my thoughts
[16:03] <MrChrisDruif> kerneloops_: Expressing your thoughts is better in #ubuntu-beginners-team, or offtopic channel. This is our help channel :)
[16:42] <kerneloops_> :)
[17:01] <kerneloops_> rsync                       fast remote file copy program daemon
[17:01] <kerneloops_> Do I need this at boot?
[17:02] <kerneloops_> im want to disable useless services to speed up boot
[17:02] <MrChrisDruif> rsync? That's for syncing accounts right?
[17:02] <kerneloops_> right now I have these services enabled:
[17:03] <kerneloops_> acpi-support apparmor binfmt-support fancontrol grub-common lm-sensors ondemand pcmiautils pulseaudio rsync speech-dispatcher sudo winbind and x11-common
[17:06] <MrChrisDruif> In all cases I would leave sudo active :P
[17:06] <MrChrisDruif> speech-dispatcher was for orca I believe (screen reader)
[17:07] <MrChrisDruif> Grub is self-explanatory I think,,
[17:07] <bdfhjk> about fancontrol
[17:07] <kerneloops_> fancontrol is related with lm-sensors
[17:07] <kerneloops_> which i want
[17:07] <MrChrisDruif> ACPI is for Power Management, fancontrol is for controlling the fanspeed I would think
[17:07] <bdfhjk> When I updatet ubuntu 11.04
[17:08] <bdfhjk> System checked it for automatical remove
[17:08] <bdfhjk> but it may depends on machine that You use
[17:09] <kerneloops_> MrChrisDruif: grub-common                 Record successful boot for GRUB
[17:09] <kerneloops_> I should use it right
[17:09] <MrChrisDruif> I think so kerneloops_, but you're delving very deep...I'm not against it, but I can't provide real assistance :)
[17:10] <kerneloops_> about fancontrol
[17:10] <kerneloops_> This package contains a daemon that calculates fan speeds from temperatures
[17:10] <kerneloops_> and sets the corresponding PWM outputs to the computed values.
[17:10] <kerneloops_> but i already control that in BIOS
[17:10] <kerneloops_> o.o
[17:15] <kristian-aalborg> hi ppl
[17:15] <kristian-aalborg> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=332 <---- putting together a kernel for old hw, want to help out? :)
[17:16] <kerneloops_> you are not a beginner :p
[17:20] <kristian-aalborg> kerneloops_: moi?
[17:20] <kerneloops_> oui
[17:21] <kristian-aalborg> I'm in a gray area... I'm not a noob but I still have plenty to learn
[17:21] <MrChrisDruif> kristian-aalborg: Who doesn't?
[17:23] <kerneloops_> :P
[17:23] <kerneloops_> i think ill disable rsync
[17:23] <kerneloops_> Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file  copying  tool.
[17:23] <kerneloops_> why would I need this at boot
[17:24] <kerneloops_> support  for copying links, devices, owners, groups, and permissions
[17:24] <kristian-aalborg> kerneloops_: to my understanding, you can still run it if you won't but it's not in the background anymore
[17:25] <kristian-aalborg> btw, let me recommend rcconf for what you're (probably) doing... it is very straightforward
[17:25] <kerneloops_> yes that's what i use :)
[17:25] <kerneloops_> best then boom
[17:26] <kerneloops_> or bum
[17:26] <kerneloops_> :p
[17:26] <kerneloops_> boot-up manager
[17:28] <kerneloops_> Speech Dispatcher provides a device independent layer for speech synthesis.
[17:28] <kerneloops_> This package contains Speech Dispatcher itself.
[17:28] <kerneloops_> ok but what is a speech dispatcher?
[17:28] <kerneloops_> :p
[17:29]  * kerneloops_ looks for "dispatch" in dictionary
[17:31] <MrChrisDruif> It dispatches the text-to-speech to the proper engine, as far as my knowledge knows
[17:32] <MrChrisDruif> kerneloops_: rsync is for syncing accounts over the (home) network
[17:34] <kerneloops_> MrChrisDruif: I dont get "syncing accounts"
[17:35] <MrChrisDruif> Like when you've got more than one PC on your network with Ubuntu, then you can get your own account across both PC's within your home network :)
[17:35] <kerneloops_> I dont use it
[17:35] <kerneloops_> lol
[17:36] <kerneloops_> hm
[17:37] <MrChrisDruif> But you get what I mean with syncing accounts now, right? :)
[17:37] <kerneloops_> no im dumb
[17:37] <kerneloops_> :P
[17:38] <MrChrisDruif> ;)
[17:38] <kerneloops_> so im on other pc but i still can use my account in the main computer?
[17:38] <MrChrisDruif> You're not:)
[17:38] <MrChrisDruif> I don't know if you can use it on both pc's at once, but at least you can sync it...
[17:39] <kerneloops_> ok
[17:39] <kerneloops_> disabled!
[17:40] <MrChrisDruif> So like, one time you log in on one PC and install software and whatnot, and the other time you login the other PC and have the software etc. you installed on the other PC. But that is my understanding of rsync
[17:40] <kerneloops_> k
[17:40] <kerneloops_> it's for advanced users
[17:41] <kerneloops_> xD
[17:43] <kristian-aalborg> rsync is cool for doing backups too
[17:43] <MrChrisDruif> kerneloops_: Not necessarily, but most "n00bs" don't know about it
[17:44] <kristian-aalborg> alias backup-film='rsync -raz --progress --delete /media/sdb1/film/ /media/15BCD36A5881EC03/Backup/film/'
[17:44] <kristian-aalborg> I have this in .bash_aliases.... serves me well :)
[17:44] <MrChrisDruif> GTG, TTYL
[17:45] <kristian-aalborg> however, be careful with rsync... and remember to do a dry-run before you do anything... I recently lost some pictures for being over-confident :/
[17:47] <kerneloops_> kristian-aalborg: i just disabled rsync
[17:47] <kerneloops_> kristian-aalborg: backups over lan?
[17:48] <kristian-aalborg> no, to an external hdd
[17:48] <kristian-aalborg> I'm pretty sure it'll work even though the daemon is disabled
[17:51] <kerneloops_> k
[17:51] <kerneloops_> if it doesnt work ill remember rsync
[17:58] <kerneloops_> kristian-aalborg http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7g6Ec6RR
[17:59] <kristian-aalborg> out the window with bluetooth and pcmcia unless you use them
[17:59] <kerneloops_> oh yeah i use it
[17:59] <kerneloops_> pcmia seems important :p
[18:00] <kristian-aalborg> what kind of computer?
[18:00] <kerneloops_> desktop core2duo
[18:00] <kerneloops_> 32bit
[18:00] <kristian-aalborg> ok
[18:00] <kerneloops_> 2gb ram
[18:00] <kerneloops_> :x
[18:00] <kristian-aalborg> with pcmcia?
[18:00] <kerneloops_> dont know Lol
[18:00] <kerneloops_> I think.
[18:00] <kristian-aalborg> it's some old cards that you plug in laptops
[18:00]  * kristian-aalborg loves them
[18:01] <kristian-aalborg> but they are not usually part of a modern-ish desktop
[18:01] <kerneloops_> lol
[18:01] <kerneloops_> my motherboard is not old
[18:01] <kerneloops_> :p
[18:01] <kristian-aalborg> then lose pcmcia :)
[18:02] <kerneloops_> i'll disable :(
[18:02] <kerneloops_> kristian-aalborg: what about the ondemand CPU thing
[18:04] <kristian-aalborg> beats me
[18:04] <kristian-aalborg> when in doubt, keep it on, I'd say
[18:04] <kerneloops_> yes
[18:04] <kerneloops_> i have disabled rsync
[18:04] <kerneloops_> speeche-dispatcher
[18:04] <kerneloops_> pcmiautils
[18:04] <kerneloops_> or something
[18:27] <kerneloops_> kristian-aalborg: what about winbind service?
[18:27] <kerneloops_> "Samba nameservice integration server"
[18:30] <kristian-aalborg> if you use samba, keep it
[18:30] <kristian-aalborg> try googling the stuff you see in rcconf, or looking it up on ubuntuforums
[18:31] <kerneloops_> yeah get it
[18:31] <kerneloops_> :)
[18:31] <kerneloops_> it's rare to use samba
[18:32] <kerneloops_> i have samba-common installed though
[18:32] <kerneloops_> but not samba
[18:38] <kristian-aalborg> then disable.. you can always turn it back on
[18:38] <kerneloops_> ye
[18:48] <kerneloops_> kristian-aalborg: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=EeSXh87Q
[18:48] <kerneloops_> good huh?
[18:48] <kristian-aalborg> looks pretty much like mine, so yes :P
[18:49] <kerneloops_> im gonna disable bluetooth
[18:49] <kerneloops_> rare to use it
[18:49] <kerneloops_> :)
[18:51] <kristian-aalborg> I always run rcconf after an installation... 5 mins of work to save a lot of ressources
[18:54] <yofel> that doesn't do anything useful with upstart though I think (shows network-manager as disabled for example)
[19:06] <kerneloops_> kristian-aalborg: me too
[19:06] <kerneloops_> and startup applications too
[19:51] <anshrpr> Installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop having 3 GB of RAM installed and System Monitor showing only 861.8 of total memory..... where is rest of my RAM???
[19:52] <kerneloops_> anshrpr: o.o
[19:53] <kerneloops_> anshrpr: tried #ubuntu ?
[19:53] <kerneloops_> (more ppl)
[19:53] <Daniel0108> anshrpr: 64bit or 32bit version?
[19:54] <kerneloops_> Daniel0108: 32 bit = 3.2gb ram..
[19:54] <anshrpr> kerneloops_: ya, a guy gave me alink to www.linuxatemyram.com
[19:54] <kerneloops_> lol
[19:54] <anshrpr> Daniel0108: 64bit
[19:54] <Daniel0108> kerneloops_: I know, but sometimes there are compatibility problems
[19:55] <Daniel0108> anshrpr: hmm okay, /join #ubuntu
[19:55] <anshrpr> Daniel0108: ok, thanks anyways..
[19:59] <jhanafrog> i'm thinking it might make sense to triage users to their ubuntu user group channel
[19:59] <jhanafrog> that's worked for me in the past
[19:59] <s-fox> =)
[20:00] <jhanafrog> =)
[20:02] <bioterror> :D
[20:12] <javierbravoconde> coucou
[20:13] <kerneloops_> ei
[20:18] <MrChrisDruif> What's with egg kerneloops_?
[20:21] <kerneloops_> ei MrChrisDruif
[20:22] <kerneloops_> how are you
[20:22] <MrChrisDruif> I'm fine, but ei is in Dutch egg ;)
[20:22] <MrChrisDruif> You?
[20:22] <kerneloops_> lol i dont get that joke
[20:22] <kerneloops_> MrChrisDruif: fine, learning linux stuff
[20:23] <MrChrisDruif> Well, it´s not really a joke. Ei is a Dutch word, which translated to English means egg.
[20:23] <kerneloops_> oh ok
[20:23] <kerneloops_> lol
[20:23] <MrChrisDruif> :P
[20:23] <kerneloops_> for me "ei" is to call people
[20:23] <kerneloops_> like hey
[20:23] <MrChrisDruif> Alright, like lo
[20:23] <MrChrisDruif> Short for hallo
[20:24] <MrChrisDruif> *hello
[20:25] <kerneloops_> lo is a failed lol
[20:25] <kerneloops_> :)
[20:26] <MrChrisDruif> No, it's not :P Lo used to be the name of the internet, for it was the first message send over it. It stood for hello
[20:26] <kerneloops_> x)
[20:54] <kerneloops_> is posssible to keep network manager vpn connection after logging out?
[20:54] <kerneloops_> :x
[22:50] <LukasB> Hey can anyone please answer my question? I changed some settings in the ubuntu terminal. How do I get back to the normal screen to continue with other things>
[22:50] <LukasB> ?
[22:50] <zkriesse_> What do you mean?
[22:51] <zkriesse_> The terminal is just a window, you should still have access to your pc
[22:52] <MrChrisDruif> LukasB: You've changed settings? What kind of settings? :)
[22:52] <LukasB> following a manual I typed in sudo vi and the terminal enabled me to change some software settings... Now I am finished but I dont know how to confirm and how to go back to the normal terminal view to type in commands
[22:53] <LukasB> I configured "web-server related softwqare" (apache)
[22:56] <LukasB> I typed in 'sudo vi etc/apache2/sites-available/default' and some settings came up, different from the normal view
[22:57] <LukasB> *'sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default' corrected little mistake
[22:57] <bobo123> LukasB: terminal as a terminalwindow or a ctrl-Alt-F1 textmode?
[22:58] <bobo123> (if it is textmode-terminal then you get back to X grapchis with ctrl-Alt-F7)
[22:58] <LukasB> bobo123: Just the normal terminal window... I dont know anything about a textmode... Maybe I am there and I dont know
[22:58] <bobo123> aha
[22:58] <LukasB> i try your combination
[22:59] <LukasB> Doesnt do anything
[22:59] <bobo123> no textmode is only interesting if the graphics system has locked up and stopped responding.
[23:00] <bobo123> LukasB: anyway, the "sudo vi etc/apache2/sites-available/default" command is only to edit a textfile that have webserver-settings. shouldn't destroy anything-
[23:01] <LukasB> It is still responding. I can still change settings. But I am finished. I want to confirm and get back to the normal view, where I can type in commands. But there is no command promoted and pressing enter just brings me in a new line
[23:01] <hggdh> oh
[23:01] <hggdh> you are still under 'vi', correct?
[23:01] <LukasB> correct
[23:01] <bobo123> -if you can't get any further in the terminalwindow then just close it with the [X] -button in the topright corner of the window (or where it is now by default after ubuntu 10.04)
[23:01] <hggdh> press the escape key, then type ZZ
[23:02] <bobo123> you can allways edit the etc/apache2/sites-available/default file with the normal texteditor gedit instead
[23:03] <LukasB> hggdh: Esc and ZZ worked! Thank you! Does that always work, when you are somewhere and want to go back?
[23:03] <bobo123> LukasB: only in vi editor
[23:04] <hggdh> LukasB, *under* vi, the escape key puts you in control mode; the ZZ sends a control command: save the file (if changed) and exit vi
[23:04] <LukasB> bobo123: Ah okay, thanks... I thought about closing the window but wasnt sure if it would save my settings... didnt know I could change it in another way too
[23:04] <hggdh> it would not save...
[23:04] <LukasB> hggdh: Ah cool ;-)
[23:04] <hggdh> :-)
[23:05] <bobo123> wherever your guide says to run   "sudo vi something....." you can allways run "sudo gedit something....." for then normal editor you know instead
[23:05] <hggdh> LukasB, you might want to use some other editor -- like gedit --, yes
[23:06] <hggdh> 'vi' -- and emacs -- should not be used if you have not tried them before, and read the man pages...
[23:13] <bobo123> anyone knows if Synaptic updates its quick-search field index when you add a repository?
[23:15] <bobo123> or rather I guess it is the "software-properties-gtk" program that updates the repositories.
[23:18] <bobo123> Anyway, I'm wondering if I could remove the apt-xapian-index update from anacrontab daily and weekly stuff, since it should only be needed to run reindexing of the deb packages descriptions when one actually add/remove a repository
[23:22] <bobo123> if it only did the indexing at certain times and not when needed then it would not give correct results if I first add a repository and then try to search for a package in it, right?
