[00:10] <Roasted__> Is NTP installed + running by default in Ubuntu?:
[00:11] <rcconf> Roasted__: no, just ntpdate at boot.
[00:11] <drc> Roasted__: no
[00:11] <shcherbak> murielgodoi: hm, good question...
[00:11] <rcconf> Roasted__: you need to install ntp.
[00:11] <rcconf> Roasted__: go system admin time & date ;)
[00:11] <rcconf> easy to install and configure
[00:11] <fizyplankton> say i have a monitor arrangement like this : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/361832/ is there any way i can stop the cursor from reaching the place with the x? it is annoying as hell how it goes off the screen
[00:11] <Roasted__> rcconf, I'm having some time issues with my thin clients using LTSP and Edubuntu 10.10. Everybody is pulling a different time. It was recommended to me to install NTP and put in the time server in the config file for the thin clients.
[00:12] <Roasted__> rcconf, you would think, but like I said, running thin clients. Our setup is a bit different as a result.
[00:12] <rcconf> Roasted__: do it using gui it's easy. you just need to add the NTP address to the list and check it.
[00:13] <rcconf> it will ask you to install ntp
[00:13] <rcconf> after that you can purge ntpdate.
[00:13] <Roasted__> rcconf, It's a bit more complicated than that, as my thin client image has no GUI.
[00:13] <Roasted__> rcconf, so I need to do it via terminal.
[00:13] <rcconf> Roasted__: i know how to do it.
[00:13] <rcconf> easy
[00:13] <rcconf> Roasted__: sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf
[00:14] <rcconf> Roasted__: first install it sudo apt-get install ntp
[00:14] <rcconf> then
[00:14]  * drc does so look forward to Roasted__'s daily questions :)
[00:14] <rcconf> Roasted__: sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf and add you add line in the end "server ntp-address"
[00:14] <rcconf> without "
[00:14] <Roasted__> good deal
[00:14] <Roasted__> thanks bro
[00:14] <rcconf> then you sudo service ntp restart
[00:14] <murielgodoi> Where to change some FLAGS to build a ubuntu pachage? I already got the source.
[00:15] <Roasted__> drc, good to know I have a fan club :P
[00:15] <drc> Roasted__: I lean things and also learn who here has no clue as to what they are talking about
[00:15] <StepNjump> ...I backed up my computer with back in time but how am I supposed to restore?
[00:15] <rcconf> Roasted__: it will run ntpd daemon at boot. default config wont run it as server. option you can block 123 udp port in software fireall or router
[00:16] <rcconf> optionally
[00:17] <dajhorn> How can I get the regular dpkg and apt-get at the rescue prompt of the alternative Natty installer?

[00:18] <Mad_HaTTer> inatall apt-get

[00:19] <StepNjump> Anyone here uses the app back in time?
[00:20] <[snake]> I'm trying to convert video to avi, and ffmpeg is saying "Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame". I looked for that encoder in synaptic and it turns out that lame stands for " LAME ain't an Mp3 Encoder." so I have no clue why it's saying this.
[00:20] <Mad_HaTTer> hahaha narwhal like in the book?
[00:21] <hasan> [snake]: are u kidding us?
[00:21] <hasan> or is that a real problem to you
[00:21] <[snake]> hasan, no, i'm not kidding, sorry lol :P
[00:21] <hasan> holy..
[00:21] <hasan> ok
[00:22] <gordonjcp> hello
[00:22] <[snake]> I'm not really into encoding n stuff so yeah
[00:22] <Hodapp> anyone - an easy way to put the X server into 16-bit color?
[00:22] <gordonjcp> in Unity, how can I remove the big blurry drop-shadow around windows?
[00:22] <Hodapp> I guess I could write Xorg.conf by hand but I'd like to avoid that
[00:22] <hasan> so LAME is really standing for: LAME ain't an MP3 Encoder
[00:22] <Hodapp> ...even though LAME really kinda is one...
[00:22] <drc> [snake]: Recursive acromyms are a long time tradition in *nix
[00:22] <Mad_HaTTer> ahh so it doesnt encode the mp3 audio for the avi
[00:23] <seei> are all the bluetooth chipsets supported in gnu/linux
[00:23] <[snake]> Mad_HaTTer, yess
[00:23] <seei> how would i find out if my chipset is supported
[00:23] <[snake]> Mad_HaTTer, that's my problem
[00:23] <teage> Hello, I am trying to edit my Xorg.conf file. I had to run this comand to make on, Xorg -configure. I see it made xorg.conf.new in my home directory. Not in X11. Where is it?
[00:23] <Hodapp> ooh, maybe I can learn something from the answer to this
[00:24] <hasan> teage: cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:24] <Mad_HaTTer> i useare you trying to rip something snake?
[00:24] <teage> hasan- thank you
[00:24] <[snake]> Mad_HaTTer, no, I just have an mp4 i got off of youtube, and I need to convert it because shake doesn't recognize it.
[00:25] <Marsha||[a]> anyone can help me with OpenVZ pls ?
[00:25] <bluum> [snake]: so you pasted an ffmpeg command you found on the internet into your terminal, and it said "unknown encoder"?
[00:25] <tbruff13> Hello ubuntu wont connect to my schools internet can someone tell me why
[00:25] <Mad_HaTTer> then snake i would recommend jhymn
[00:25] <[snake]> bluum, no silly I'm using the GUI for it: winFF
[00:25] <rcconf> tbruff13: more details please

[00:26] <meLon> details, tbruff13 .  Using wifi/lan?  Have you had the same computer connect to the internet elsewhere?
[00:26] <bluum> [snake]: so there's an incompatibility between the winFF and the ffmpeg packaging. file a bug
[00:26] <coz_> [snake],   the command for ffmpeg is     ffmpeg -i nameof.mp4  nameof.avi  or whatever you want to convert it to
[00:26] <hasan> is it possible to purge messages on server when deleting them locally in inbox?
[00:26] <hasan> proto pop3

[00:26] <hasan> client mutt.
[00:26] <FloodBot3> hasan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:26] <Mad_HaTTer> jhymp also works with itunes and will rip the dmr out of m4a's
[00:26] <coz_> [snake],  be sure you have all of the codecs installed as well
[00:27] <braxton> Are there any network gurus in here? I would like some iptables help.
[00:27] <Logan_> hasan: support for Mutt is in #mutt
[00:27] <Marsha||[a]> & what about OpenVZ ?
[00:28] <Mad_HaTTer> i use it cause i have archaic mp3 players (i hate ipod)
[00:28] <RussellAlan> how can i uninstall gnome?
[00:28] <Logan_> Marsha||[a]: #openvz

[00:28] <[snake]> coz_, the command works :P
[00:28] <coz_> Marsha||[a],  I dont know but did you take a look at this?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ
[00:28] <coz_> [snake],  there you go

[00:29] <xbskid> Is there any way to move the close/minimize/maximize buttons to the right-hand side of the windows?
[00:29] <drc> !bug | [snake]
[00:29] <Mad_HaTTer> get windows?
[00:29] <kZard> anybody know PowerPC here?
[00:29] <kZard> I'm trying to boot from CD in a G4, but the default holding-C doesn't work, so I'm trying through OpenFirmware mode
[00:29] <kZard> I basically need to know the directory to tell the mac where to boot from
[00:29] <coz_> [snake],  however if the mp4  was made on windows with drm enabled it WILL NOT convert or play on linux as far as i know
[00:30] <kZard> (anybody know where ubuntu disks store their boot info?)
[00:30] <Mad_HaTTer> yeah coz_ if you convert it to mp3 with jhymn it will
[00:30] <coz_> Mad_HaTTer,  ah  really?  I will look into it ,, surprising :)
[00:30] <Logan_> Marsha||[a]: you must register your nick on Freenode first
[00:30] <Polah> I just installed 10.10 64-bit and cannot boot off of it. The partition with Ubuntu installed on it has the "boot" flag and is the primary hard drive, and /boot/grub exists.
[00:30] <[snake]> coz_, yes my friend threw his laptop out of the window becuse of that (he edited this huge video on windows and wanted to composite it in shake on linux, and yeah :P)
[00:31] <[snake]> ...
[00:31] <[snake]> broken laptop for nothing-- jk it somehow survived though.
[00:31] <tbruff13> sorry meLon and rcconf  yes i am connected to the internet now and windows users and macs can connect at school just not ubuntu
[00:31] <coz_> [snake],  well according to Mad_HaTTer   the drm enabled mp4 files can be converted but I am looking into it
[00:31] <rcconf> tbruff13: using ethernet or wireless?
[00:32] <tbruff13> rcconf, wireless
[00:32] <rcconf> tbruff13: is wireless working on your ubuntu?
[00:32] <rcconf> i mean the drivers
[00:33] <rcconf> doest it detect school wireless ?
[00:33] <tbruff13> yes im not my wireless home network now, and it detect my school wireless just won't connect even though i have the password
[00:33] <Mad_HaTTer> also do they use a regular ssid or hidden?
[00:34] <rcconf> tbruff13: does your use wep or wpa or wpa2?
[00:34] <rcconf> school
[00:34] <Mad_HaTTer> and what kind of encryption
[00:35] <tbruff13> wpa 2
[00:35] <Mad_HaTTer> aes psk ?
[00:35] <tbruff13> rcconf, wpa2 i think
[00:35] <rcconf> tbruff13: check the password..
[00:35] <Mad_HaTTer> and caps
[00:35] <rcconf> tbruff13: and check the signal strenght
[00:35] <[snake]> Is anyone in here familiar with Apple Shake 4.0 for linux?

[00:37] <malina> hmm J_
[00:37] <malina> sounds not good ;p
[00:37] <Mad_HaTTer> tbruff13 what kind of encryption does it use?
[00:37] <[snake]> wow, I paid 5,000 dollars for a program that barely works with the main thing it works with :P I will be on google all night then.
[00:37] <[snake]> *main thing it's supposed to work with
[00:38] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, Wpa or Wpa2 not sure anymore but ubuntu called it personal home use weird right
[00:38] <Mad_HaTTer> ha @ 5000 dollars
[00:40] <Mad_HaTTer> tbuff13 thats the connection type not the encryption

[00:47] <andrew[andrboot]> Hi Guys, i have a Mac OSX Xserve with 2.1 firmware, i checked the wiki's, couldn't find much bout ubuntu server supporting it.. has anyone managed to install ubuntu 10.04 lts server & boot off it?
[00:47] <StepNjump> mmm aeon-ltd I have a netbook (no optic reader) and would like to back up my system
[00:47] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, i never connected all the way all I know is the password is PineReb03Jonny and the encryption is WPA & WPA2 personal plus I use a flash drive to run ubuntu on school computers, but ethernet works and the wireless detects other networks so it works
[00:47] <aeon-ltd> StepNjump: usb stick available?
[00:47] <drc> [snake]: Hope it works...I just googled :)
[00:47] <[snake]> drc, :(
[00:48] <[snake]> drc, that is for installing
[00:48] <StepNjump> aeon-ltd yes
[00:48] <b1lly> ftp://aaa:xxxx@ftp.domain.com returns unable to connect
[00:48] <hilarie> Halp, I installed unity on my ubuntu 10.10 with "sudo apt-get install unity" and it seems pretty and all, but my mouse doesn't work, how can I go back to defaults without re-installing?
[00:48] <aeon-ltd> StepNjump: and a usb ext hdd aswell?
[00:48] <drc> [snake]: So the problem is?....I forgot in all the hoopla
[00:48] <[snake]> drc, not for the problem I have... though I suppose I can try this method of installing, I did it slightly differently
[00:48] <hilarie> It seems completely frozen when I turn it on
[00:48] <[snake]> drc, oh, i can't import videos
[00:49] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, helloi
[00:49] <StepNjump> aeon-ltd yes I have an ext hdd
[00:49] <drc> [snake]: ah...right...
[00:49] <Mad_HaTTer> did you check 20 &21 and ping the server?
[00:49] <[snake]> :)
[00:49] <StepNjump> aeon-ltd but it is formated in ntfs
[00:49]  * Hodapp <- impressed that Ubuntu installed at all on this Pentium II, 333 MHz...
[00:49] <aeon-ltd> StepNjump: use grub to reformat if you no longer need the data stored on it

[00:50] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: cd or usb?
[00:50] <tbruff13> brandon420, try unetbootin
[00:50] <sparc> Hey hey.  Are people able to host their own copies of Launchpad?  Or are we force to use Canonicals...
[00:50] <brandon420> cd
[00:50] <KB1JWQ> !caps | brandon420
[00:50] <StepNjump> yep but I do! aeon-ltd
[00:50] <[snake]> actually that's exactly how I did it except I didn't use nautilus and I named my foler nreal not apple.
[00:50] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[00:50] <brandon420> KB1JWQ, I HAVE A RIGHT TO USE MY CAPS LOCK. AND ITS NOT SCREAMING, ITS TYPING LOUD.
[00:50] <_GhouL_> does unetbootin works with windows don think so
[00:50] <brandon420> lol
[00:50] <StepNjump> aeon-ltd I just need to back up my data so I can move the data on the new computer
[00:50] <StepNjump> just data
[00:51] <Mad_HaTTer> yeah tbruff13 sorry was talking to bily? on that one
[00:51] <tbruff13> oh ok
[00:51] <StepNjump> aeon-ltd I tried back in time but have no idea how to recover
[00:51] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, so now what
[00:51] <aeon-ltd> StepNjump: data as in your personal files, not system configs?
[00:51] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, i did that, and its not bootable.
[00:51] <StepNjump> Exactly aeon-ltd
[00:52] <Mad_HaTTer> is there a error message or just not connecting?
[00:52] <saltas> kalispera
[00:52] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, windows and mac users can connect to the school internet is their anyway to make the wireless network think i am a windows computer and no there is no error it just asks for password over and over and over even though i know its right
[00:52] <aeon-ltd> StepNjump: then why not just move the files without clonezilla?, clonezilla would make an exact bootable copy of your installed system
[00:52] <StepNjump> I know ..
[00:53] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: for more join #windows ask about how to burn a cd
[00:53] <alecthegeek> G'Day: Does anyone know if J2EE in the cloud needs a different approach to a server? Do I just pretend the cloud is a bunch of servers and deploy as normal or is it a different approach? Are there specialist J2EE cloud providers (like Engine Yard and Rails)? Thanks
[00:53] <StepNjump> Ok thanks, I'll do this some other time when I have time aeon-ltd thanks!

[00:53] <brandon420> haha, nope
[00:53] <Mad_HaTTer> tbruff13 your password that you know is right did you check caps and numlock?
[00:53] <NixDouche> I don't think you can install win7 second.
[00:53] <brandon420> i miss playing games, gonna dual boot.
[00:53] <NixDouche> Windows is pretty aggressive like that.
[00:54] <brandon420> ohwell
[00:54] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, yes
[00:54] <Mad_HaTTer> and your keyboard type
[00:54] <brandon420> i shall reinstall both, lol.
[00:54] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: you can, but it involves reinstalling grub to boot back into ubuntu
[00:54] <brandon420> right clicking>write to disc, doesnt make it bootable
[00:54] <nit-wit> W7 can be installed after a nix
[00:54] <micca> pfff, why on Earth in this day and age, has cpu frequency scaling *not* been compiled into the kernekl

[00:55] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, its cool, i can just install it again, nothing big. all my files are on another hdd
[00:55] <littlebearz1> (micca): laziness?
[00:55] <drc> brandon420: You can install win7 second, but its much easier to install it first (saves playing with MBR)
[00:55] <micca> erm, laziness?
[00:55] <brandon420> yeah
[00:55] <brandon420> lol
[00:55] <brandon420> sooo
[00:55] <micca> these days , you would think some power saving measures would be at leats a module..a nd I am thinking
[00:55] <littlebearz1> (micca): yeah, it's like me doing anything, I don't finish the whole thing
[00:55] <saltas> hello all i just install ubuntu 10.10 in my laptop and i just wondering if there is a free software like adobe flash for making flash sites..does anyone know ?
[00:55] <brandon420> how do i burn a bootable dvd on ubuntu?
[00:55] <Gulfstream> how do I scale the CPU in Ubuntu netbook edition?
[00:55] <nit-wit> you have to know how to deal with the mbr we are talking 2-3 commands in ethier OS
[00:55] <[snake]> random: I wish my school would embrace open source and use Linux.
[00:55] <micca> I get 'no support' if I attempt to compile myown kernel"?> if I take the generic one of ubuntu and reocmpile it, I hsould still be ifne, right? ::)
[00:55] <brandon420> saltas, use google chrome
[00:55] <drc> brandon420: brasero
[00:55] <littlebearz1> (micca): for example, I was just writing this url shortner and it works, but no instruction is provided
[00:56] <littlebearz1> ([snake]): same here
[00:56] <brandon420> saltas, they also have adobe flash for ubuntu.
[00:56] <micca> (sorry abt typos , have an annoying cat lying on top of my arms
[00:56] <fisix> i've resized my icons in edit > preferences under nautilus. pdf's however still display larger than other icon types. is there any way to change this too?
[00:56] <Gulfstream> brandon420, you need to first download the image, or make the image, then burn to disc
[00:56] <brandon420> Gulfstream, lmfao
[00:56] <brandon420> just lol.
[00:56] <micca> littlebearz1, are you on drugs?
[00:56] <brandon420> thanks for trying though.
[00:56] <littlebearz1> (micca): the support is people in this channel, or any linux distro using that kernel
[00:56] <Gulfstream> how do I scale the CPU in Ubuntu netbook edition?
[00:56] <brandon420> drc, i think is gonna work.
[00:56] <brandon420> Gulfstream, scale?
[00:56] <saltas> i think is not free.. and btw google crome is for desing flash sites ?
[00:56] <littlebearz1> (micca): lol, no, I can't think when I'm on it
[00:57] <micca> exactly, which says won't be the case, if you compile you rown kernel, right? :)
[00:57] <Gulfstream> I want to set it to performance
[00:57] <Daekdroom> saltas, Google Chrome is a browser like Firefox
[00:57] <micca> although I hardly wish all my cores to be running 24/7 on 4.1 GHz
[00:57] <b1lly> am i supposed to setup an ftp url redirection somewhere
[00:57] <brandon420> oh, shit, idk
[00:57] <micca> 'it' or 'them'?
[00:57] <micca> x
[00:57] <b1lly> or once i install vsftpd it autoamtically makes the ftp.url live
[00:57] <micca> I would certainly not restrict myself to one drug
[00:57] <Mad_HaTTer> tbruff13 if thats what its doing its one of 3 things password problem, input method problem, or encryption problem
[00:58] <micca> coffee... sex.. alcohol.. good start for one ;)
[00:58] <joeoshawa> i have a rather strange problem i cannot resize firefox at all or move the window
[00:58] <micca> but ok nvm that, there r kids here surely
[00:58] <littlebearz1> (b1lly): that depends on if u have the router or computer directly connected to the internet
[00:58] <saltas> daekdroom i know what crome is in windows..i just aks for a free software for create flash sites ..:P
[00:58] <b1lly> i have a router
[00:58] <littlebearz1> (micca): kids in ubuntu channel? really?
[00:58] <littlebearz1> (b1lly): then usually it's just locally accessible
[00:58] <MeanEYE> Can anyone tell me where I can download ubuntu logo in svg?
[00:58] <littlebearz1> (b1lly): unless you have port forwarded
[00:58] <Mad_HaTTer> ahh micca cant go without those afternoon delights ;)
[00:58] <micca> so quesiton is this, can I recompile the .35-generic ubuntu klernel and keep it in the dependencies?
[00:58] <b1lly> i cant even access it locally
[00:59] <tbruff13> sorry Mad_HaTTer ok if im doing every thing right could the school just not allow linux
[00:59] <micca> hehe Mad_HaTTer  hear hear ;)
[00:59] <b1lly> i was able to before but than i tryed to setup user accounts and permissions
[00:59] <b1lly> and now i cant even connect lol
[00:59] <brandon420> ummm
[00:59] <brandon420> my dvd drive still says that it has a disk in it, it has been replaced with a empty one. (i tried 4 disc)
[00:59] <littlebearz1> (b1lly): lol, I think the user and permission is error in there somewhere
[00:59] <Mad_HaTTer> no tbruff13 as port 80 is universal
[01:00] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, ok so whats the issue
[01:00] <b1lly> littlebearz1: wont even connect to fpt.domain.com problem loading page
[01:00] <littlebearz1> (b1lly): if u get too fed up, use a windows and use filezilla server for a temporarily solution, though I don't recommend it
[01:00] <b1lly> usually it just promps for username pw
[01:00] <[snake]> apple is second in line when it comes to retarded companies -_-
[01:00] <micca> either I gotta recompile the kernel and still have it be updated properly with respect to dependencies, or I have to yet again, go and do something silly like  change to a rolling release distro? surely not :/ blah
[01:00] <Gulfstream> how do I scale the CPU to performance in Ubuntu netbook edition?
[01:00] <micca> 3rd, when I start mine [snake]
[01:00] <hilarie> How can I go back to the default ubuntu thingy, I did "sudo apt-get install unity" and now my desktop is un-usable, I have it set up to not ask for password upon startup, so I can't select session
[01:00] <littlebearz1> (b1lly): what are u using?
[01:00] <micca> im literally gonna call it 'retard computers.com'
[01:01] <hilarie> Is there a CLI way that I can do it from the recovery console, or am I going to have to reinstall?
[01:01] <[snake]> micca, lol :)
[01:01] <micca> with the motto: as slow as it gets!
[01:01] <littlebearz1> (micca): i think that domain is taken
[01:01] <tbruff13> hilarie, sudo apt-get remove --purge unity
[01:01] <[snake]> micca, you aren't going to be worse than microsuck
[01:01] <brandon420> my dvd drive still says that it has a disk in it, it has been replaced with a empty one. (i tried 4 disc)     ideas?
[01:01] <micca> prolly littlebearz1 , you would know better than I
[01:01] <[snake]> are you?
[01:01] <hilarie> tbruff13 ty
[01:01] <micca> no true
[01:01] <Mad_HaTTer> like i said 1 of those 3 you ruled out one but still need to check your using the right encryption for the network and the right keboard layout for the computer your on
[01:01] <b1lly> apache2 php mysql and ffmpeg atm
[01:01] <micca> but thats why I implied 2nd , not 1st
[01:01] <b1lly> oh and vsftpd
[01:02] <hilarie> hilarie, sudo apt-get remove --purge unity	 double -- intended?
[01:02] <micca> but still.. can someone tell me,.. can i recompile our ubu kernel and keep it in the dependencies
[01:02] <micca> ?
[01:02] <littlebearz1> (b1lly): so you have a problem with permission or you can't connect at all?
[01:02] <b1lly> both
[01:02] <[snake]> micca, from my position it could have been 2nd or first, because you were simply moving apple to 3rd.
[01:02] <littlebearz1> (b1lly): with connection it's your vspfd configuration and with user that's just with permission error
[01:02] <Logan_> !misspelling | [snake]
[01:02] <micca> true [snake] but 'retard computers.com' barely gonna become company #1 in profits, now is it? ;)
[01:02] <b1lly> i tryd to setup a pam and it wont connect at all anymore
[01:02] <[snake]> micca, did you ever hear of gentoo.
[01:02] <Mad_HaTTer> are they using a certificate billy?
[01:03] <rww> Mad_HaTTer: may I PM you?
[01:03] <tbruff13> hilarie,  try sudo apt-get install aptitude && sudo aptitude remove --purge unity
[01:03] <Mad_HaTTer> yes
[01:03] <[snake]> Logan_, what did I misspell?
[01:03] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, any ideas
[01:03] <littlebearz1> (Mad_HaTTer): I'm guessing he's using a SSL
[01:03] <[snake]> micca, ;)
[01:03] <Logan_> [snake]: "microsuck"
[01:03] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, im in a high school by the way
[01:03] <hilarie> kk ty
[01:03] <micca> snake, .. ye I went to arch just cos of having some power saving option after it semed so 'ooooh, naughty biy' when compiling my own kernel.. but that was the git upstream klernel.. im asking if i can recompile the ubuntu kernel yes.. or no
[01:04] <[snake]> Logan_, oh, sorry, i see.
[01:04] <micca> and let it be someone else than [snake]  ANSWERING ;)
[01:04] <[snake]> Microsoft*
[01:04] <b1lly> brb
[01:04] <Mad_HaTTer> yeah probally littlebear
[01:05] <littlebearz1> (Mad_HaTTer): they should make a simpler solution xd
[01:05] <micca> there is nothing more annoying than asking something about ubuntu, and hearing hey , how about gentoo
[01:05] <micca> ok ill go to off topic since my quesiton is obviously not a n ubuntu quetion then
[01:05] <littlebearz1> (Mad_HaTTer): I recall someone write a script for ssl generation and self signing
[01:05] <Mad_HaTTer> so littlebear are you english as the name implies?
[01:05] <[snake]> Yeah so the reason I started on hating apple is because, Shake cost 400 for there computers but 5000 for linux. -_- and you can't import video with linux into shake.
[01:05] <micca> yes, of course you can selg sign yourcertificate
[01:05] <micca> sno problem
[01:05] <micca> no*
[01:05] <littlebearz1> (Mad_HaTTer): am I english?, bloody no
[01:05] <micca> both with openssl
[01:06] <micca> you probably, ain't mate
[01:06] <micca> but tI g7uess that ain't your fault, but your parents
[01:06] <micca> xx
[01:06] <FloodBot3> micca: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:06] <hilarie> Maybe you could just kill me now, How do I connect to wifi via CLI from the recovery console?
[01:06] <littlebearz1> (Mad_HaTTer): it's just like a nick I have since I couldn't register the domain name
[01:06] <muay-guy> hello
[01:06] <littlebearz1> (hilarie): ifconfig wlan0 up
[01:06] <[snake]> hilarie, service networking start
[01:07] <Mad_HaTTer> yeah i write my own certificates what a painb that is
[01:07] <micca> hilarie, ooo from the recovery console.. tough one... especially on wifi..  but there you go, littlebearz1  seemed ot make it less bad ;p
[01:07] <littlebearz1> (hilarie): iwconfig --essid xxxxx
[01:07] <muay-guy> has anyone succesfully installed the 64 bit flash plugin for firefox 4?
[01:07] <tbruff13> Mad_HaTTer, any other ideas
[01:07] <[snake]> hilarie, mine might not work as I am thinking of another distro entirely.
[01:07] <littlebearz1> (hilarie): or something along that lines, I usually go for man iwconfig and check the manual
[01:07] <DrFalcon> hilarie, this page has answers to most wifi questions in ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:08] <micca> littlebearz1, if I recompile the current stable ubu kernel, can I keep it on the dependencies? I presume yes, but just double checking?
[01:08] <genii-around> !pinning | micca
[01:08] <johnwedd> greetings. having issues with flash on my web browser
[01:08] <micca> thanks genii-around
[01:09] <T_N_T> hello I have an acer aspire one and just installed 10.10 netbook via wubi only problem is there is no wireless driver installed, anyone know what to do?
[01:09] <quant> johnwedd: be more specific, please
[01:09] <littlebearz1> (micca): I have no clue about that xd
[01:09] <searayman> to send a kill SIGTERm via terminal is it like this: kill -15 PID
[01:09] <littlebearz1> (searayman): I thought it was pkill -pid xxx
[01:09] <DrFalcon> use pkill
[01:09] <muay-guy>  has anyone succesfully installed the 64 bit flash plugin for firefox 4?
[01:09] <Mad_HaTTer> yes tbruff13 find out the encryption method and make sure your using the same in ubuntu weather aes or psk psk2 and check your keyboard layout in ubuntu weather us or us-init and that it mathes the kbd on the computer your on'
[01:09] <searayman> littlebearz1: whats the difference
[01:10] <littlebearz1> (hilarie): and if u're too lazy to type that ubuntu docs it's linked as http://u.xxw.ca/wifi
[01:10] <littlebearz1> (searayman): pkill is better though I can't explain it
[01:10] <hilarie> littlebearz1 I am going through it now
[01:10] <littlebearz1> (searayman): I think it does a deep aka better job than kill ?
[01:10] <micca> hmm not sure if pinning is quite it though genii-around . I was more wondering if I lose that right of 'support' etc, and* lose dependencies if I recompile the current ubuntu kernel I am using to include cpu freq scaling support as an example?
[01:10] <johnwedd> quant, the flash plugin either comes up as crashed or as wrong version, i have updated uninstalled, reinstalled
[01:11] <littlebearz1> (johnwedd): sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree
[01:11] <quant> johnwedd: are you using gnash or the proprietary flash?
[01:11] <DrFalcon> use killall if you want to kill a bunch of processes at once
[01:11] <hilarie> FYI if you ever have unity installed, and type sudo apt-get remove --purge unity when you boot back into ubuntu, you will get a white screen
[01:11] <quant> johnwedd: also what version of ubuntu
[01:11] <littlebearz1> (hilarie): ouch
[01:11] <micca> does that package even exist littlebearz1 ?
[01:12] <searayman> littlebearz1: but hypotheticly would kill -15 PID work for sending the SIGTERM signal?
[01:12] <johnwedd> 10.10,  and proprietary
[01:12] <littlebearz1> (searayman): yeah, it's harder to remember
[01:12] <micca> hehe hilarie
[01:12] <quant> johnwedd: any particular page on which it crashes or just any page?
[01:12] <littlebearz1> (searayman): cause pkill I remember as process kill
[01:12] <johnwedd> quant, all
[01:12] <aaron_c> hi, i'm on ubuntu 10.04 and  making regular backups with ubuntu's simple backup restore utility.  if i buy a new desktop and insatll ubuntu 10.10 is it possible to use my backup files make an exact image of my current desktop?
[01:12] <genii-around> micca: We cannot of course support a custom compiled kernel if you experience problems as a result.
[01:13] <quant> johnwedd: remove it and install again, that's what I'd do
[01:13] <searayman> littlebearz1: i am just checkign if i am doing somethign right i learned in class, were learnign how to kill things with different things and have to send different signals to a program and write wht happens
[01:13] <quant> johnwedd: be sure to have browser closed while doing it
[01:13] <johnwedd> prop
[01:13] <DrFalcon> aaron_c: I would reccomend a clean install rather than an image, because hardware is going to be different.
[01:13] <littlebearz1> (searayman): neat class xd
[01:13] <micca> fair enough, but with the cpu frequency scaling pu tin there (as I really will save energy on it).. will at least I be able to re-introduce it to the dependencies so to speakl?
[01:13] <searayman> littlebearz1: i hte the class...
[01:14] <littlebearz1> (searayman): lol, ignore my last comment then
[01:14] <[snake]> well screw linux, I have a mac laying around somewhere... It's just sad that apple had to make me say that. :((
[01:14] <micca> not getting support cos I need the energy saving is the same as going to a rollign releas I guess... and I like ubu ffs.. so but *dependency reliability* for me is the main issue!
[01:14] <[snake]> pardon my language, I keep on forgetting this is a support channel...
[01:15] <littlebearz1> (searayman): i would personally write a script that open a process a million times and kill it in a different times and capturing the output
[01:15] <aaron_c> DrFalcon: i see, ok.  but if my current desktop completely, and i just get a new hard drive, i shoudl be able to make an exact copy with my backup files right?
[01:15] <aaron_c> *completly crashes
[01:15] <littlebearz1> (micca): I think archlinux does a good job at kernel tweaking
[01:15] <littlebearz1> (micca): I meant their channel
[01:16] <DrFalcon> aaron_c: If you are just changing your hard drive and nothing else, a disk image would work fine. But if you plan on moving your OS to a new machine, bad idea, imo.
[01:16] <micca> ye I tried it, due to thie very issue a month ago.. but then lol i tjust gets worse and worse and worse and in the end.. I kind of realise.. look, I want ubus stability and all.. and *all* I want is to be bl e to set my frequencies dfown when idling lol
[01:16] <aaron_c> DrFalcon: gotcha.  and buy disk image, that's what ubuntu's built-in "Simple Backup Restore" utility does, right?
[01:16] <aaron_c> *by
[01:17] <_GhouL_> greetings everybody. do you know an open source alternative to Proteus isis (proteus is a software for electronics to create,simulate and generate pcbs on windows)?
[01:17] <micca> which is when I felt ubu is like MS in being, and arch just promising too much reliability on their system  (as their AUR or testing section, wasn't as developed as I expected)
[01:17] <littlebearz1> (aaron_c): if u want exact, and have the same hardware, use dd -if xxx -of xxx
[01:17] <DrFalcon> aaron_c: I've never used that utility, so I don't know.
[01:17] <micca> best backup utility ever
[01:17] <micca> dd
[01:17] <aaron_c> DrFalcon: ok.  thanks for your help!
[01:17] <Kindari> Hey guys, asking in both #synergy and #ubuntu. I want to allow Synergy to continue running from a host machine accross all users using that machine, even Guest. Any ideas?
[01:17] <littlebearz1> (micca): arch isn't reliable when you start to mess around with the core xd
[01:17] <aaron_c> o oki'll look into dd
[01:18] <micca> ye, but even on a rollign release, see what i mean
[01:18] <DrFalcon> aaron_c: As someone else said, use DD to make a disk image, otherwise just copy files. I suggest rsync for file-level backups, because it won't do the whole thing over on backups subsequent to the first one.
[01:18] <micca> how , in this day an dage can it beso hard to get some scalin gsigh
[01:18] <micca> I mean, moving to gentoo JUST for that is a bit harsh :)
[01:18] <littlebearz1> (aaron_c): btw, if u do rsync don't forgot the -r , so all subdirectories and files are copied as well
[01:18] <aaron_c> is there a way to make a list of pakcages i have insatlled on my 10.04 desktop, so i can reinstall all the same ones on 10.10 on my new desktop?
[01:18] <[snake]> micca, i think there is a project for compiling a custom ubuntu kernel actually
[01:19] <micca> ye, I had to recompoile their kernel too, then recompile the catalyst drivers, which in trun made KDE leak on ATI and just BLAH :p
[01:19] <littlebearz1> (aaron_c): I lost like LOADS of file just because forgot -r command in rsync
[01:19] <Mad_HaTTer> lsapt > blah.txt or something like that?
[01:19] <[snake]> micca, my friend was doing that once.
[01:19] <micca> [snake], there is.. and tbh , arch was not what I thought, ubu I ve liked now for yrs and Im about to actually start a company (i wsn't kidding, only the name ;p) so gonna run I think ubu servers or debian plus ubu workstations but I need this scaling crap
[01:19] <adelle25566> a few days ago i wanted to install an app on a semi-public pc
[01:19] <DrFalcon> aaron_c: "dpkg --list" lists all installed packages.
[01:19] <adelle25566> however i got some kinda of message that there are no installed assets of something
[01:20] <adelle25566> does it resemble anything to you?
[01:20] <micca> ye snake I coompiled it not so long ago, but wasn't sure about dependencies.. for me I have to be able to re-inject that kernel into my apt-get/dpkg rather.. and if does that5, Im happy
[01:20] <[snake]> micca, what will your company name be?
[01:20] <aaron_c> DrFalcon: ah ok.  is there a way to import a text file int apt-get install?
[01:21] <aaron_c> so that i can take the log of dpkg --list and install verything with one command?
[01:21] <micca> I am registering as a sole proprietor/trader under m name, the 'branches' are 3 different ones, so will have differen tnames.. here in HOlland for now.. nevermind.. in case I end up a total failure with what I will be doing ;)
[01:21] <micca> :)
[01:21] <micca> I'll le tyou know though if it goes well.. it starts in August
[01:21] <DrFalcon> aaron_c: this thread explains the process: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/%5Baptitude%5D-how-to-get-a-list-of-all-installed-packages-458119/
[01:22] <DrFalcon> aaron_c: There is no one-step process, but it's not that involved.
[01:22] <l1nuxman> how come even though I have ownership root root on a file and -rwx-r-x-r-x permissions a user called 'nick' can overwrite the file using vim?
[01:22] <aaron_c> DrFalcon: cool, thanks!
[01:22] <micca> l!nuxman, using wim?
[01:22] <micca> from inside windows environnment?
[01:23] <Tempus_Fugit> ok i know dumb question but been awhile since I hae needed this but how do i find the ip of my router?
[01:23] <Poisonfirbe> gateway
[01:23] <Poisonfirbe> ipconfig (the look for the gatway)
[01:24] <DrFalcon> Tempus_Fugit: "wget -O - -q icanhazip.com" at console
[01:24] <adelle25566> can any jew here answer my question?
[01:24] <micca> wim can format windows partition types.. so if your file is owned by root on a ntfs/fat volume and you use wim to apply to a drive say, you are effectively just blanking that disk, not to mention 'root' will still be on a windows ppartition able to be audited to a new owner by a win admin or is this some other wim?>
[01:24] <Tempus_Fugit> Poisonfirbe: needs an argument
[01:24] <micca> sorry wim can't but the wimgapi.dll can i meant
[01:24] <micca> when applying a wim file
[01:25] <adelle25566> fd
[01:25] <micca> adelle25566,  some jew? u might be 14 u f** little cjimp of a child but go to your parents and tell them to give u a smack and teach u hwo to be smart
[01:26] <micca> ^^
[01:26] <Tempus_Fugit> ok ifconfig worked
[01:26] <Tempus_Fugit> ty
[01:26] <micca> it is appalling the amount of kids today which make so many parents look as the tards they are
[01:26] <micca> ;)
[01:26] <adelle25566> micca: wrong. i am 24
[01:27] <Poisonfirbe> oh yea, thats correct....i gave the windows command....fml
[01:27] <micca> and u go crying 'jew' in a support channel? my god.. what are you .. form michigan?
[01:27] <kitty0230> is this a technical, or discussion room
[01:27] <kitty0230> or, combo thereof
[01:27] <micca> definitely an american and very sad indeed
[01:27] <rww> micca, adelle25566: Stop it.
[01:27]  * joshmc seconds kitty0230
[01:27] <gordonjcp> micca: don't feed the troll
[01:27] <adelle25566> micca: also, i wonder what kind of man you are, if you are pissed off because some called you a jew. why do you take this as insult?
[01:27] <DrFalcon> Don't feed the trolls please.
[01:27] <micca> no true gordonjcp
[01:27] <rww> kitty0230: Theoretically, it's a technical support channel.
[01:28] <zhangfei> askhad
[01:28] <Hodapp> What did I just walk into?
[01:28] <zhangfei>  helllo
[01:28] <zhangfei> hello
[01:28] <micca> nah, I really don't care much, except I just feel sorry for your stupidity
[01:28] <adelle25566> antisemitism is still so popular '_'
[01:28] <rww> zhangfei: hi

[01:28] <mickster04> !ot adelle25566
[01:29] <rww> micca, adelle25566: I'm not interested in your racial beliefs. I recommend you go read our channel guidelines, because further violations of them will result in your removal from this channel.
[01:29] <mickster04> !ot | adelle25566
[01:29] <T_N_T> can anyone tell me if there is a known issue with the acer aspire one and ubuntu referring to the wireless card, I had ubuntu 10.10 netbook version installed and was getting a "device not ready, firmware missing" error?
[01:29] <micca> that it often is adelle25566
[01:29] <adelle25566> !ot | mickster04 xD
[01:29] <micca> the poles helped little holand at least with liberating her
[01:29] <adelle25566> mickster04: one time is enough

[01:29] <micca> wow
[01:29] <micca> ^^
[01:29] <rww> micca: come back in 15 minutes.
[01:30] <phoenixsampras> why my hibernation aint working?
[01:30] <Poisonfirbe> cause its not winter
[01:30] <Acid190> lol
[01:30] <DrFalcon> rofl
[01:30] <phoenixsampras> i want a refund
[01:30] <coldfire> hehe
[01:30] <Acid190> hit delete then
[01:31] <gordonjcp> I know this isn't #ubuntu+1 but that channel is utterly dead just now
[01:31] <gordonjcp> is there a way to disable the drop shadows in Unity in Natty?
[01:31] <adelle25566> rww: thanks for fighting antisemitism
[01:31] <rww> gordonjcp: moving conversations that should be there over here won't improve that.
[01:31] <Hodapp> ugh.
[01:31] <rww> adelle25566: give it a rest
[01:31] <maxo> how can I install unity on ubuntu 10.10?
[01:31] <phoenixsampras> was Mel Gibson around here again?
[01:31] <Logan_> !natty | gordonjcp
[01:31] <hilarie> maxo don't do it
[01:31] <hilarie> maxo just don't do it
[01:32] <maxo> hilarie, I want to try it out
[01:32] <gordonjcp> Logan_: yes, I'm well aware of that, thanks
[01:32] <coldfire> I'm loving ubuntu....I don't know why I'm here since every single thing on my laptop worked right out of the box...just thought I'd hang out I guess
[01:32] <hilarie> my ubuntu I am sitting in recovery on my ubuntu install
[01:32] <adelle25566> btw i use win7. i just dont see the point in using linux
[01:32] <hilarie> because unity is soooooo shitty
[01:32] <joshmc> maxo, hilarie had an issue with it earlier. If you want to try it, go ahead but good luck!
[01:32] <adelle25566> i just want my pc to work
[01:32] <Logan_> !language | hilarie
[01:32] <Hodapp> What is wrong with Unity?
[01:32] <Hodapp> I ask that having never used it.
[01:32] <rww> adelle25566: then you should try ##windows instead of here.
[01:32] <gordonjcp> Hodapp: I find it pretty hard to use
[01:32] <hilarie> It exploded my laptop
[01:32] <maxo> joshmc, hilarie , the problem is the unity package provided with 10.10 is an old package. I want to try the latest version
[01:32] <maxo> but I can't find a package anywhere
[01:32] <gordonjcp> Hodapp: there's no taskbar along the bottom, just a bar of little squares down the left
[01:33] <DrFalcon> With all due respect to the Ubuntu devs, Unity isn't ready for primetime yet, imho.
[01:33] <adelle25566> rww: as i said above, i had a problem with semi-public machine with linux (which is obvious)
[01:33] <gordonjcp> so you can't tell what applications have windows open
[01:33] <joshmc> maxo: could you update via ppa? I tried it once and I think that's how I tried it.
[01:33] <rww> maxo: There is no backport of the current Unity development version to Ubuntu 10.10. The relevant people decided that making one would take too long and take too much time from actually developing Unity.
[01:33] <gordonjcp> Hodapp: the thing that's giving me problems right now is the drop-shadows around all the windows
[01:33] <maxo> joshmc, hmmm, yes I couldn't find a ppa
[01:33] <gordonjcp> Hodapp: they make it totally unusable
[01:33] <Hodapp> hmmm
[01:33] <maxo> gnome 3 looks really bad though
[01:34] <maxo> unity looks a lot better
[01:34] <maxo> in gnome 3, they've even removed the maximise and minimize window buttons
[01:34] <gordonjcp> so if anyone cares to help me get rid of the eyestrain-inducing drop shadows, it would be much appreciated
[01:34] <Acid190> adelle25566:you have a problem with linux?
[01:34] <coldfire> adelle25566: I too run windows...in a virtualbox environment....it's wonderful.  Everytime it gets screwed I can just start it again.  Foolproof windows...I can't think why anyone would do it any other way.
[01:35] <truepurple> I am having trouble with adding tomboy notes to panel, it is giving me a error, can anyone help me?
[01:35] <Hodapp> I also run Windows in VirtualBox, but there are plenty of things that I think I'd rather run natively.
[01:35] <markrmiller> I was not happy with Unity at first - now that I have given it a chance I like it more and more - more OSX like than Windows like always wins me over
[01:35] <markrmiller> its a better flow
[01:35] <trism> gordonjcp: compizconfig settings manager, window decorations plugin, configure the shadows
[01:36] <gordonjcp> trism: that just crashes compiz
[01:36] <trism> gordonjcp: then you have other issues
[01:36] <truepurple> Emulation of OS is only useful if your trying to run something old
[01:36] <gordonjcp> markrmiller: I find OSX totally unusable
[01:36] <DrFalcon> Does Unity require compositing to be on in order to run?
[01:36] <coldfire> Hodapp:I had to come up with something, this laptop wont support XP and my programmer for my race car has to use XP.  VB to the rescue.  I have linux stability to boot!
[01:36] <phoenixsampras> OSx if fancier than Ubuntu, but yeh it sucks
[01:37] <gordonjcp> I really hate the "menu bar at the top of the screen" thing
[01:37] <joshmc> maxo: having used gnome3 I find it about %4-%10 more effective than unity, but that is just my opinion ;) also, I googled unity and ppa and it came up with the ubuntu netbook edition stuff. That might help!
[01:37] <gordonjcp> it was a good idea in single-tasking versions of Mac OS, like System 6
[01:37] <Hodapp> I find OS X plenty usable and streamlined for me, although for some things I really prefer Linux.
[01:37] <maxo> DrFalcon, I think there's a '2d' version
[01:37] <trism> gordonjcp: sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu; restart your session
[01:37] <coz_> gordonjcp,  also, you can go into gconf  /apps/compiz/plugins/decoration/allscreens/options
[01:37] <markrmiller> I thought the same until i started using it for a while
[01:37] <truepurple> I am having trouble with adding tomboy notes to panel, it is giving me a error, can anyone help me?
[01:37] <hilarie> so... as root, I booted into gnome (I think) by typing in startx as root in recovery console, and I now have wifi, how would I go about makinng gnome3 my default GUI thingy?
[01:37] <adelle25566> Acid190: a few days ago i wanted to install an app on a semi-public pc.  however i got some kinda of message that there are no installed assets of something. does it resemble you something?
[01:37] <gordonjcp> coz_: I don't have that
[01:37] <maxo> joshmc: I found a ppa but it was empty, I'll have another look
[01:37] <joshmc> maxo: (that is, I found the ppa for 'unity' as une)
[01:37] <phoenixsampras> does gnome3 comes with ubuntu?
[01:37] <adelle25566> coldfire: my 7 doesn't get screwed
[01:37] <Tempus_Fugit> ok heres another ?......if I set up a router on windows and try to access it in linux it should still work right...I need to get to the admin page to fix some things
[01:38] <coz_> gordonjcp,  ah ok ,, kde?
[01:38] <coldfire> adelle25566:don't use it much, eh?
[01:38] <hilarie> (Don't know if its gnome3 I want, I want w/e the default ubuntu 10.10 ships with
[01:38] <gordonjcp> coz_: /apps/compiz-1/plugins/decor/screen0/options is as close as it gets
[01:38] <gordonjcp> coz_: and it seems to have no effect
[01:38] <coz_> gordonjcp,  which version of compiz ?
[01:38] <gordonjcp> no idea, it's the first time I've tried compiz
[01:38] <Hodapp> I reckon one of these days I shall have to install modern Ubuntu on modern hardware.
[01:38] <DrFalcon> Tempus_Fugit: your router shouldn't care what OS you are using. Just go to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. For 99% of routers, this will work.
[01:38] <gordonjcp> coz_: whatever is in natty
[01:39] <maxo> joshmc, I think I came across that earlier, is it - https://launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/+archive/une ? it seems to just be a few packages from last year but no unity package
[01:39] <coz_> gordonjcp,  oh natty
[01:39] <Hodapp> Today I did modern Ubuntu on dumpster hardware because my roommate needed something she could use.
[01:39] <adelle25566> coldfire: what? windows? i just want this to work
[01:39] <gordonjcp> coz_: 0.9.4.0 apparently
[01:39] <Tempus_Fugit> DrFalcon: ok ty
[01:39] <joshmc> maxo: might be the case... in which case I'll neglect to try and help much more as I am being less than helpful =S
[01:39] <coz_> gordonjcp,  ah that may be different let me check my natty  machine hold on
[01:39] <phoenixsampras> what gnome version is using ubuntu10.10?
[01:39] <adelle25566> adelle25566: i am not playing like Woz or Jobs or Bill
[01:39] <joshmc> maxo: yep, having looked I feel rather silly.
[01:39] <coldfire> adelle25566:exactly....that's why I ubuntu
[01:39] <maxo> joshmc, that's ok, I even added it at first :-)
[01:40] <gordonjcp> I dual-boot between Ubuntu and Arch
[01:40] <adelle25566> Acid190: so?
[01:40] <maxo> maybe i'll just run natty in virtualbox to have a look. but I guess it won't support compiz, so maybe not much point
[01:40] <maxo> hmmm
[01:40] <gordonjcp> I should probably look at this windows stuff one day
[01:41] <rww> maxo: indeed, Natty Unity and Virtualbox aren't friends.
[01:41] <coz_> gordonjcp,  yes on natty that is the correct  gconf settings,, I havent tested this on natty yest but the window decoration plugin is going to be far better to deal with shadows,,or rather easier on natty
[01:41] <rww> maxo: I use LiveUSB sticks instead.
[01:41] <DrFalcon> gordonjcp: Win7 is actually quite nice, as far as windows versions go.
[01:41] <gordonjcp> coz_: do I need to restart my session or something?
[01:42] <coz_> gordonjcp,  no you souldnt have to  but  with natty ,, at the stage it is in right now.. trying that cant hurt
[01:42] <coz_> gordonjcp,  also on natty / compiz the windows7 snap is available
[01:42] <ubuntu__> When I'm installing and selecting partitions manually, I select /dev/sda1 to install the bootloader on but when I reboot it doesn't load GRUB
[01:42] <gordonjcp> coz_: I don't know what that is
[01:42] <blahsphemer> in udev rule writing, if the match condition isn't specified and only the actions are specified, then would the actions occur every time udev rules are checked?
[01:42] <blahsphemer> in udev rule writing, if the match condition isn't specified and only the actions are specified, then would the actions occur every time udev rules are checked?
[01:43] <DrFalcon> You want to install grub to sda, not sda1. (I think. double check this)
[01:43] <coz_> gordonjcp,  when you move a window to the left edge of the monitor it maxes vertically on that side,, conversely on the rith and at the top  it maxes full screen
[01:43] <craig> how can I tell if my usb ports are high spped (usb2?) ?
[01:43] <adelle25566> btw, i ate an omelette today
[01:43] <coz_> gordonjcp,  on the bottom it maxes  horizontally
[01:43] <adelle25566> with tomatos
[01:43] <adelle25566> and cheese :D
[01:43] <ubuntu__> Falcon: So I'll have /dev/sda1 mounted at /, /dev/sda2 as swap
[01:43] <ubuntu__> then install bootloader on /dev/sda?
[01:43] <phoenixsampras> adelle25566: fancy that
[01:43] <adelle25566>  phoenixsampras: thanks
[01:44] <coz_> adelle25566,  unfortunately it is not breakfast time here  but you may get more responses in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[01:44] <phoenixsampras> adelle25566: single?
[01:44] <adelle25566> but i overfried it :(
[01:44] <adelle25566> phoenixsampras: yes
[01:44] <gordonjcp> coz_: nope, still got a huge blur around my window
[01:44] <DrFalcon> ubuntu__ : Grub needs to be in the boot sector of the primary drive, iirc.
[01:44] <coz_> gordonjcp,  doing what?
[01:44] <adelle25566> coz_: ok
[01:44] <gordonjcp> coz_: the big blurry drop-shadow
[01:44] <blahsphemer> idoru, you kicked me from the server cuz I repasted my question in #linux and here?
[01:44] <coz_> gordonjcp,  a eeww   mmm
[01:44] <maxo> ubuntu__, it needs to go on the mbr (master boot record), which then passes things on to each partition, sda1, sda2 ...
[01:44] <KB1JWQ> blahsphemer: /amsg is a poor idea. :-)
[01:45] <phixa> someone talking about breakfast?
[01:45] <gordonjcp> coz_: I'm going to have to pack it in now; it's given me a blinding headache
[01:45] <coz_> gordonjcp,  let me check ccsm  better still... got to #ubuntu+1  channel   ,, that is the official support channel for pre release ubuntu
[01:45] <DrFalcon> What maxo said. So point grub installer at sda (with no number)
[01:45] <XuMuK> ubuntu__, yes, just install it at /dev/sda
[01:45] <gordonjcp> coz_: I'm in #ubuntu+1 but it's dead
[01:45] <ubuntu__> XuMuK, maxo, DrFalcon: Thanks
[01:45] <Logan_> gordonjcp: we do not support 11.04 in here, I'm sorry
[01:45] <coz_> gordonjcp,  understood...  yeah sometimes it is..ok pick up tomorrow then :)
[01:45] <blahsphemer> KB1JWQ, I don't get it. Anyways am I allowed to ask my question or not?
[01:45] <adelle25566> phoenixsampras: what you are today?
[01:45] <gordonjcp> Logan_: okay, yes, thanks, you've said that
[01:45] <adelle25566> ate*
[01:45] <blahsphemer> KB1JWQ, I mean in 2 channels
[01:45] <craig> "usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5" is what I see in messages when I tail it while plugging in the camera.  Is the 1-2 meaning that the posrt is usb2?
[01:45] <gordonjcp> Logan_: perhaps you'd like to contribute over in #ubuntu+1 then?
[01:45] <KB1JWQ> blahsphemer: And in this one repeatedly.
[01:46] <KB1JWQ> Without going too far into how idoru works, that's a poor idea, blahsphemer. :-)
[01:46] <blahsphemer> KB1JWQ, That was an accident. My apologies
[01:46] <phoenixsampras> adelle25566: trying to setup a opennms server....
[01:46] <truepurple> With firefox under linux, I can't arrange the tabs, is there a way to fix this or a browser recommended more then firefox for ubuntu?
[01:46] <blahsphemer> Anyway, this is my question: in udev rule writing, if the match condition isn't specified and only the actions are specified, then would the actions occur every time udev rules are checked?
[01:47] <maxo> truepurple, yes you can, just drag them
[01:47] <DrFalcon> truepurple: try chrome. I greatly prefer it to firefox.
[01:47] <adelle25566> kthxbay
[01:47] <phoenixsampras> yeh, chrome works fine, although Google will know all your secrets
[01:48] <Hodapp> phoenixsampras: there's always chromium.
[01:48] <maxo> firefox 4 is awesome
[01:48] <Hodapp> firefox 4 has been very unstable and slow for me on OS X; dunno why.
[01:48] <b1lly> is there a way to unstill vsftp and pam at the same time
[01:48] <DrFalcon> "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" FTW, imo.
[01:48] <b1lly> i wanna clear all the shit out that i installed and start over
[01:48] <Hodapp> I quit using Opera because so many pages didn't work right, but I now see that it was a good deal faster and more stable
[01:48] <ubuntu__> b1lly: sudo apt-get purge vsftpd pam?
[01:48]  * drc has never undertood the Firefox vs Chrome arguments...I mean, it's not like its vi vs emacs...that was important. 
[01:48] <ubuntu__> nick Polah
[01:49] <b1lly> unable to locate pam
[01:49] <maxo> the main difference is chrome has rubbish address bar suggestion/predict
[01:49] <Mad_HaTTer> use butter
[01:49] <Polah> b1lly: whatever that package is called then
[01:50] <b1lly> now i gotta reebot?
[01:50] <joshmc> b1lly: only if you want to! uninstalls wont normally require restarts (well ideally)
[01:51] <DrFalcon> billy: unless its a kernel, you shouldn't need to reboot
[01:52] <naguto> hi
[01:52] <truepurple> maxo: they won't drag
[01:52] <stevezau> Running ubuntu 10.10 and I need the 2.6.38 kernel as it has some dvb drivers i require.. I've upgraded using the kernel-ppa (using natty's 2.6.38) which worked fine.. But now when im installing vmware server it throws errors due to different gcc version complied on the kernel and kernel versions.. Does anyone know where i can get 2.6.38 (with source) that is build for 10.10?
[01:52] <naguto> usuck
[01:52] <mucha> j #kediri
[01:53] <TrentonAdams> I have a suggestion for making the upgrade process smoother.  Which channel should I be on?
[01:53] <craig> how can I tell what kinds of usb ports I have in this box?
[01:53] <mucha> #linuxmint
[01:53] <TrentonAdams> craig, lsusb?
[01:53] <Mad_HaTTer> lshw
[01:53] <gsfai> TrentonAdams: #science-fiction
[01:53] <Mad_HaTTer> dmesg
[01:53] <TrentonAdams> gsfai: very funny, lol
[01:54] <maxo> TrentonAdams, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
[01:54] <gsfai> TrentonAdams: indeed, but it really depends on which upgrade you are referring to!
[01:54] <craig> TrentonAdams, I've got three 1.1 hubs, and a 2.0.  Those mean usb1 and usb2?
[01:54] <maxo> TrentonAdams, or file it on launchpad, not sure where though
[01:54] <Mad_HaTTer> basically
[01:54] <TrentonAdams> gsfai 10.04 to 10.10 could have went smoother.
[01:55] <gsfai> TrentonAdams: usually IRC channels are not ideal for such stuff, you should probably make a post @ the forums!
[01:55] <spacenavi> how do you tell what the model number of your computer is through ubuntu or through terminal
[01:55] <Mad_HaTTer> ohh no for the dev name
[01:55] <TrentonAdams> gsfai, okay, that sounds good.  I like forums.
[01:55] <DrFalcon> I would suggest a clean install rather than an upgrade, unless you know what you are doing.
[01:56] <naomi__> >.>
[01:56] <naomi__> Hai.
[01:56] <aurora_user> oh hai
[01:56] <Mad_HaTTer> hmm whats the equivalient terminal commend for msinfo32.exe hmmm
[01:57] <spacenavi> anyone? is there a way to see what your laptop model number is from within ubuntu or terminal
[01:57] <craig> TrentonAdams, and that's four lines in lsusb, but I've got six ports.  How do I figure out which ones are on that usb2.0 hub?
[01:58] <phoenixsampras> Help, what software does UBUNTU brainstorm uses?
[01:58] <naomi__> Christ this place is confusing me more. >.>
[01:58] <TrentonAdams> craig: not sure, the lsusb suggestion was a guess.  I'm checking the -v output
[01:58] <hilarie> Victory is mine!
[01:59] <Mad_HaTTer> craig
[01:59] <DrFalcon> spacenavi: Try "sudo dmidecode | more". Look on the first page of output, near the top.
[01:59] <Mad_HaTTer> dmesg
[01:59] <TrentonAdams> craig: Yeah, not sure.  May be able to look at the output of "lsusb -v" and figure something out.  But, I gotta run.
[01:59] <phoenixsampras> hilarie: sweet
[02:00] <hilarie> Everyone who has a thing on installing unity, should put a warning, not to have auto-login enabled, makes it not possible to easily go back to the normal ubuntu gui
[02:00] <riddlebox> how long is 10.04 supported for?
[02:00] <Mad_HaTTer> craig if i recall correctly dmesg will tell you
[02:01] <Mad_HaTTer> should look like 2:1
[02:01] <b1lly> which config file do i edit to change the port to listen on for ftp
[02:01] <Mad_HaTTer> 2:0
[02:01] <b1lly> using vsftpd
[02:01] <DrFalcon> billy: depends on what FTP server you are using
[02:01] <w1n5ton> !win7
[02:02] <w1n5ton> !windows 7
[02:02] <Mad_HaTTer> drfalcon should just be 20 21 ehh
[02:02] <w1n5ton> !dualboot
[02:02] <mirza> how do i install autocad 2008 on julinux 8
[02:02] <DrFalcon> billy: edit the line that says "listen_port=" in /etc/vsftp/vsftpd.conf or /etc/vsftpd.conf, forget which it is.
[02:03] <spacenavi> thanx DrFalcon
[02:04] <DrFalcon> spacenavi: glad to help. I just happened to have a script for that, lol
[02:04] <grug> how can i check file system integrity on a raid0, raid1, or raid10 volume in ubuntu?
[02:05] <DrFalcon> grug: that depends very heavily on your raid controller/software
[02:05] <wakil> Hello, can anyone tell me how I can enable automatic logon in lubuntu 10.10?
[02:05] <Guest25068> I installed the gstreamers-plugin-bad package when trying to play a MIDI file, and now Ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound card
[02:05] <Guest25068> What did I do?
[02:05] <TrentonAdams> okay, ubuntu upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 is finished, rebooted, and it's working.  However, I still have the same problem with dual display I've always had.  If one display is a different size than the other, my mouse has a dead zone in the smaller one.  e.g. I can move my mouse past the top of the monitor.
[02:05] <TrentonAdams> how to fix?
[02:05] <grug> DrFalcon: it's just standard software raid
[02:07] <naomi__> I'm new to this whole Linux thing. No idea what the hell I'm doing with half of this stuff.
[02:07] <naomi__> >:/
[02:07] <DrFalcon> grug: I think fsck will do it, but I would read the man page first.
[02:08] <DrFalcon> grug: never run fsck on a mounted volume, btw.
[02:08] <smw> naomi__, we were all new once.
[02:09] <DrFalcon> grug: umount the volume you want to check, then fsck
[02:10] <scottamunga> Sorry, I had an issue with my sound.  I installed gstreamer-plugins-bad when trying to play a MIDI file, now my sound doesn't work.  I know I screwed up, I just don't know how.  Any ideas? :P
[02:10] <naomi__> True. I just can't get the hang of it.
[02:11] <scottamunga> What are you having problems with in Ubuntu?
[02:11] <scottamunga> naomi
[02:11] <coz_> scottamunga, ` did you install ubutnu restricted extras?
[02:11] <scottamunga> coz_, no
[02:11] <coz_> scottamunga,   that should be the first thing you use
[02:12] <scottamunga> I have, but I tried to do without by converting over to open formats and such
[02:12] <scottamunga> I'm in the process of converting my music to Ogg
[02:12] <alexinslc> Noob question - I have domain joshmo.com and I've installed wordpress to joshmo.com/wordpress directory - on ubuntu - how do I point joshmo.com to just default to the /wordpress directory?
[02:12] <coz_> scottamunga,  also  you might want to google  ubuntu midi playback   to see some suggestions for that ,, however  I generally never have issues with midi once the restricted extras are install
[02:12] <naomi__> I don't know how to download/install things really. Or having to do stuff in the terminal window. Commands for it, anything. >.>
[02:12] <scottamunga> coz, are there legal issues with using restricted extras for personal use?
[02:12] <coz_> scottamunga, however if you prefer sun java over icedtea then you will have to remove the icedtea  packages  from synatpic,
[02:13] <DrFalcon> naomi__ : There are a few commands that are key to teaching yourself linux. Get comfy at the command line using these commands: man, apropos, whatis, and play with the tab key. That should get you started.
[02:13] <coz_> scottamunga,  that that I am aware of
[02:13] <coz_> scottamunga,  mot "restricted" stuff allows for personal use,, sometimes more
[02:13] <b1lly> im having trouble setting up users and permissions with vsftpd
[02:14] <scottamunga> coz - true, like flash and java
[02:14] <Lantizia> Is there a way I can purge the recommended packages for a package already installed... without specifying all the recommended packages to purge?
[02:14] <coz_> scottamunga,  exactly
[02:14] <Drone4four> I'm trying to search at the command line for all traces of the word "compassion" in a sizeable archive of MSWord documents.  I can't figure out the right grep command.  the grep man page is overwhelming.  I found i guide on google for using the grep command, but i still can't figure out what grep command i should be using.
[02:14] <scottamunga> I'll try installing restricted extras and see what happens.  I'll probably be back here in a bit if the sound doesn't work :D
[02:15] <coz_> Lantizia,  mm  maybe sudo apt-get autoremove --purge name of package
[02:15] <Drone4four> i cd'ed into the directory i want and entered this command: grep -rw "compassion"
[02:15] <scottamunga> thx coz
[02:15] <Drone4four> but it doesn't show any results.
[02:15] <spacenavi> my screen binks when I play some videos. I uninstalled all dvd and video players and then reinstalled vlc but the whole computer screen keeps blinking. How do i configure my monitor so it's not struggleing to keep up with big videos.
[02:15] <Drone4four> what grep command should i be using?
[02:15] <Lantizia> coz_, no that would remove the package - not remove the packages recommended packages
[02:15] <bonny> Why have I been banned from this server im sure I had followed my mommy's rules hahaha lol Im finally back to this server HELLO EVERYONE !!! YAY
[02:15] <gordonjcp> Drone4four: try giving it some files to search
[02:15] <coz_> Lantizia,  oh you additionally installed the recommended ones?
[02:16] <smw> Drone4four, grep -r [-i for case-insensitive] 'compassion' msword_folder
[02:16] <Lantizia> coz_, look at the original question - it's quiet simple
[02:16] <Lantizia> *quite
[02:16] <coz_> Lantizia,  this is the advantage of using synaptic package manager   it has a history
[02:16] <Drone4four> i want to search all the files in the current directory, i don't want to list each one of them becasue there are thousands
[02:16] <Drone4four> ty smw, i'll try that
[02:16] <smw> Drone4four, use -l to just get file names
[02:17] <perlmonkey> bonny hi

[02:19] <Mad_HaTTer> drone4four just use dir
[02:19] <diffract|> i'm writing a process scheduler, how do i make it so it returns to the terminal but keep running in the background?
[02:20] <smw> diffract|, you also asked in #linux. This is not a linux question. It is a programming question.
[02:20] <Drone4four> Mad_HaTTer, smw, gordonjcp, this worked: grep -rw "compassion" 9july2k9/
[02:20] <smw> diffract|, look up "forking to background"
[02:20] <diffract|> smw: ##programming told me to ask in ##linux, which asked me to ask in ##c, which said it was OS-specific and that i should ask here
[02:20] <smw> diffract|, lol
[02:21] <Diamondcite> diffract|: Are you putting the whole app in the background of just a part of the app?
[02:21] <Mad_HaTTer> lol run around
[02:21] <diffract|> Diamondcite: the whole thing
[02:21] <Drone4four> ty smw
[02:21] <smw> diffract|, I am telling you what to look up.
[02:21] <smw> Drone4four, np
[02:21] <diffract|> smw: i know, i'm looking it up
[02:21] <ricorx7> diffract|: you mean "./myapp.exe & "
[02:21] <ricorx7> & puts in background
[02:21] <diffract|> ricorx7: yes, but without the &
[02:21] <abuanoname> hai all what up
[02:21] <Diamondcite> diffract|: If it's a whole app/command why not something like "glxgears &" where the & puts it in the background
[02:22] <diffract|> Diamondcite: that's now how i want my program to be run
[02:22] <phillyj> someone help me get my task bar back;
[02:22] <phillyj> I'm running 10.04 and just installed it yesterday
[02:22] <phillyj> the last this I installed today was java 6
[02:22] <diffract|> it should hide itself by default
[02:22] <alexinslc> Noob question - I have domain joshmo.com and I've installed wordpress to joshmo.com/wordpress directory - on ubuntu - how do I point joshmo.com to just default to the /wordpress directory?
[02:22] <TrentonAdams> On ubuntu 10.10, how do I get the icon in the system tray to show which keyboard I'm using?  In 10.04 it said USA/FR
[02:22] <bpr> is there a way to display an image in the message area of a libnotify bubble?
[02:23] <Diamondcite> diffract|: If it set it to run as a cronjob.. it's in the background already.. unless you aren't satisfied with what is provided already?
[02:23]  * ubuntu is trying to get on another channel lol
[02:23] <ricorx7> diffract: you can make it a daemon process
[02:23] <perlmonkey> alexinslc two ways, either in your apache server setup an alias, or use a .htaccess rule in main folder
[02:23] <spacenavi> my screen binks when I play some videos. I uninstalled all dvd and video players and then reinstalled vlc but the whole computer screen keeps blinking. How do i configure my monitor so it's not struggleing to keep up with big videos.
[02:23] <perlmonkey> you could also use a html meta header redirect
[02:23] <perlmonkey> in your index page
[02:23] <diffract|> Diamondcite: i don't know about cronjobs, i'll look them up
[02:23] <alexinslc> perlmonkey, thank you - is it easy to do the .htaccess?
[02:24] <perlmonkey> alexinslc yes
[02:24] <diffract|> ricorx7: yeah, any idea how to do that?
[02:24] <Diamondcite> diffract|: for per user scheduled tasks look up crontab, for system wide look up cronjobs.
[02:24] <alexinslc> perlmonkey, we're talking virtualhosts?
[02:24] <perlmonkey> look up .htaccess redirect
[02:24] <Diamondcite> diffract|: Linux specific of course..
[02:24] <perlmonkey> you can take the client browser to a different folder
[02:25] <alexinslc> ok
[02:25] <perlmonkey> or directory
[02:25] <phillyj> actually, i'm running 10.10; what happened to my task/menu bars?
[02:25] <perlmonkey> you shouldn't need a virtual host
[02:27] <BabyGirl> if i change something priority in  sistem monitor for example,,mozilla  ,, does it keep cpnfigurations always or just for seccion
[02:27] <phillyj> anyone? I tried to gconftool solution i found on google and it didn't work
[02:27] <nes> phillyj
[02:27] <nes> its very nice :P
[02:27] <Senix> is there anyone in here that has worked with drawing pads in link?
[02:27] <perlmonkey> in Apache config the same thing would be achieved with...  RewriteRule ^/     /wordpress
[02:28] <Senix> i mean is there anyone in here that has had a Genius drawing pad in ubuntu?
[02:28] <coz_> Senix,  I do not sorry
[02:28] <lasha> hey guys I have a question about mounting partition at ubuntu startup, I have a data partition which doesnt get mounted automatically at startup and everytime I need to mount manually, anyone knows how to solve this ?> thank you
[02:29] <phillyj> nes: yes?
[02:29] <coz_> Senix,  I am googling this
[02:29] <coz_> Senix,  which version of the pad is it?
[02:30] <coz_> Senix,  is it a genius G-PEN f610
[02:30] <Senix> coz_: G-Pen M609
[02:30] <phillyj> nes:  you have a solution?
[02:30] <perlmonkey> lasha add entry in /etc/mtab
[02:31] <lasha> perlmonkey: how do I do that ? add what entry ?
[02:31] <HeIsRisen> Hello, is there a way to run archive manager as root?
[02:31] <perlmonkey> lasha edit mtab and put a line in for the partition you want to mount
[02:31] <Thomas_Bates> Does anyone know why custom icons assigned via Assogiate don't scale automatically, but icons assigned through the properties thing do?
[02:32] <HeIsRisen> like if I want to use nautilus I just do gksudo nautilus
[02:32] <coz_> Senix,  found one post with solugion for g-pen 610   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806824
[02:32] <lasha> perlmonkey: how do I edit mtab I never dealt with it :\
[02:32] <coz_> solution rather
[02:32] <coz_> Senix,  the problem is that is an older post
[02:32] <perlmonkey> i.e. /dev/sda2 /home rw,errors=remount-ro
[02:32] <Senix> coz_: well then lets see if this works
[02:32] <Senix> coz_: tanks
[02:32] <coz_> Senix,  but read through it first  please
[02:32] <lasha> perlmonkey: do i just run mtab from run terminal ?
[02:32] <Senix> coz_: always do, i learned to stop jumping the gun at times like this
[02:32] <BabyGirl> guys,,in system monitor,,is i give an aplication more priority will it keep settings always or just for seccion ??
[02:32] <coz_> Senix,  since it is older post dont assume it will work ,, see if it makes sense and do just a bit more googling
[02:32] <perlmonkey> lasha you need to read up on this, there's howto...but you can edit mtab with vi or some other shell editor
[02:33] <BabyGirl> guys,,in system monitor,,if i give an aplication more priority will it keep settings always or just for seccion ??
[02:33] <coz_> Senix,   cool
[02:33] <lasha> perlmonkey: ok thank you :) I ll research on it
[02:33] <perlmonkey> lasha mtab is just a list of partitions or devices to be mounted at boot up
[02:33] <phillyj> hmmm, i just loaded up kile and it says there was a switch from KDE3 to KDE4
[02:33] <phillyj> Could this be a reason that I lost my taskbars?
[02:33] <perlmonkey> lasha put your entry at bottom
[02:33] <abuanoname> guy
[02:33] <perlmonkey> you can disable it if anything goes wrong by putting a # before the new line
[02:34] <lasha> perlmonkey: ok I ll do :)
[02:34] <perlmonkey> then just reload mtab
[02:34] <abuanoname> am need ask some question
[02:34] <abuanoname> how do i install phpmyadmin
[02:34] <ricorx7> abuanoname: apt-get
[02:34] <Epzis> hi everyone, i need setting up a 3g internet key, before doing so id like some advice, does anyone of you know sakis3g?
[02:35] <abuanoname> em.. give me the complate link for that, richardfullmer
[02:35] <abuanoname> em.. give me the complate link for that, ricorx7
[02:36] <raido> perlmonkey: why would you be editing the mtab
[02:36] <perlmonkey> lasha: "mount" at shell will show you what devices you mounted, and "mount -all" will reload/mount all devices in mtab
[02:36] <perlmonkey> should be run as sudo
[02:37] <perlmonkey> raido to add a new partition to mount automatically
[02:37] <Diamondcite> Epzis: Why do you need sakis3g? NetworkManager which ubuntu comes with already handles it
[02:37] <lasha> perlmonkey: I entered fstab but how do I open mtab file ?
[02:37] <shcherbak> abuanoname: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[02:38] <DrkCodeman> is there an official from conocial here i can ask questions to?
[02:38] <Epzis> Diamondcite: apparently not, the key is a zte k3806-z and network manager wont let me connect, goes to it, lights turn on but then keeps saying disconnected
[02:38] <ricorx7> abuanoname: in console type "sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin"
[02:38] <raido> perlmonkey: thats what fstab is for, not mtab
[02:38] <abuanoname> are that the new update of phpmyadmin ? shcherbak
[02:38] <ricorx7> abuanoname: online will tell you how to use it from there
[02:38] <Epzis> Diamondcite: have you ever used it or know what it is ? (i know its a script but i actually cant, due to job review the code =/)
[02:38] <abuanoname> yes ricorx7 am need install the new update of phpmyadmin
[02:38] <perlmonkey> sorry I got confused
[02:38] <abuanoname> are that command make me install the new update one
[02:38] <perlmonkey> raido is absolutely right
[02:39] <perlmonkey> fstab is the correct file
[02:39] <Diamondcite> Epzis: I have never heard of it.. I'm looking up info for your key.
[02:39] <perlmonkey> lasha: to edit "sudo vi fstab" but make a copy before you change it, "sudo cp fstab fstab.bak"
[02:39] <Epzis> Diamondcite: so kind of you
[02:40] <shcherbak> abuanoname: latest for your ubuntu, if you want latest, you may need to install from later repos (natty?) or from source.
[02:40] <lasha> perlmonkey: ok I am currently tinkering with it one sek i ll let you know if i am successful
[02:40] <perlmonkey> ok
[02:40] <ceo> clear
[02:40] <ceo> oke
[02:40] <ceo> oke shcherbak am will try you step thanks b 4
[02:40] <ceo> :)

[02:41] <Epzis> Diamondcite: if you need further details ask please, not sure what you may want to know
[02:43] <shcherbak> DrkCodeman: Ubuntu is GPL, and delivered with license, so it is good start.
[02:43] <raido> DrkCodeman: whats a distro rom?
[02:43] <DrkCodeman> i'm not looking to sell it just redistribution
[02:43] <b1lly> what does | mean when you type it in a cmdline
[02:43] <Senix> coz_: i'm about to try this

[02:46] <Loelin> Can someone assist me with fixing my problem?
[02:46] <perlmonkey> yes
[02:46] <Diamondcite> Epzis: I am ready a long set of posts which seem to relate to you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681372
[02:46] <perlmonkey> alexinslc are you sure you need a virtual host tho
[02:46] <perlmonkey> its a directory not a domain right
[02:46] <drc> DrkCodeman: Of course you are free to burn the iso to a cd and <give> that away yourself
[02:46] <BabyGirl> guys,,in system monitor,,if i give an aplication more priority will it keep settings always or just for seccion ??
[02:46] <Loelin> Diamondcite
[02:46] <Loelin> Can you help me out?
[02:47] <alexinslc> perlmonkey, check priv msg
[02:47] <Epzis> Diamondcite: opening, mind you im on that key right now lol
[02:47] <Epzis> Diamondcite: so rather slow loading up
[02:47] <Diamondcite> Loelin: I don't use Unity and have never tried, don't know where to start ^_^
[02:47] <shcherbak> BabyGirl: for a session
[02:47] <BabyGirl> too bad
[02:48] <BabyGirl> shcherbak:) thanks
[02:48] <Diamondcite> Epzis: I have a 3G stick, so I can kind of guess the speed, mind you I don't have your stick. (Just a E1691/UMG1691)
[02:48] <Loelin> Diamondcite: It is an uninstallation problem, I removed the modules, yet still have the listing for the "Ubuntu Netbook Edition"
[02:48] <shcherbak> BabyGirl: but runlevels can be adjusted automatically at start up.
[02:48] <Epzis> Diamondcite: in the first link he says "ill let u know" and disappears, apparently it didnt work, and people suggested that script too
[02:48] <Diamondcite> Loelin: Is that an issue? Perhaps you can try to install the package ubuntu-desktop ?
[02:48] <BabyGirl> shcherbak:) HOW,For any aplication
[02:49] <Diamondcite> Epzis: I'm reading page 2 of the posts.. doesn't look solved yet
[02:49] <b1lly> when im setting up vsftpd, where do i set the directory to target the passwd file?
[02:49] <BabyGirl> shcherbak:) I want mozilla to be a top priority app
[02:50] <Epzis> Diamondcite: its what i said , in a week we ll know...probably lol but id need that key now, its a present for someone, not one id use
[02:50] <Diamondcite> Epzis: Though.. how are you connected right now if it doesn't work?
[02:50] <Loelin> Diamondcite: Yes, it is, because everytime I reinstall and load into Netbook Edition, I do not get the Unity interface, just the wallpaper. Besides, I already installed ubuntu-desktop.
[02:50] <shcherbak> BabyGirl: Could guess that firefox :), use Opera instead or http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/i-personally-like-gui-tools-but-i-also.html
[02:50] <Epzis> Diamondcite: saski3g whatever the name was
[02:50] <DrkCodeman> i thought GPL was only for non profit?
[02:50] <Epzis> Diamondcite: i started it it asked me admin pass (i freaked out) and now im on
[02:50] <quant> DrkCodeman: nope
[02:51] <shcherbak> BabyGirl: sorry wrong link
[02:51] <BabyGirl> jejeje  know
[02:51] <Diamondcite> Loelin: Are you trying to get unity or drop unity?
[02:51] <arielsanflo__> I started programming in c and I need some good tutorials please if someone help me I appreciate it
[02:52] <Loelin> Diamondcite: I am trying to cleanly install unity.
[02:52] <DrkCodeman> it would be nice if more gamers supported linux natively to be honest that is the only thing holding me back
[02:52] <Diamondcite> Loelin: I'm sorry but I REALLY won't know where to start. Unity is supposed to be for  11.04 and I haven't played with it yet.
[02:53] <shcherbak> BabyGirl: nice firefox 5 & <-- this can be used in script or as command.
[02:53] <shcherbak> BabyGirl: man nice
[02:53] <quant> DrkCodeman: you can run many games through wine and you can reboot windows to play a game and then back again (what I do)
[02:53] <Loelin> Diamondcite: thanks for whatever you could do
[02:53] <shcherbak> BabyGirl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=755246
[02:53] <DrkCodeman> quant: ive used wine however i hate "winetricks" etc to get games to work
[02:54] <DrkCodeman> and ending up breaking other games
[02:54] <b1lly> im having trouble setting up my users and permissions w vsftpd; it keeps saying login failed
[02:54] <quant> DrkCodeman: my WoW works out of the box :)
[02:54] <DrkCodeman> meh, i had problems with the sound system i switched to alsa
[02:54] <DrkCodeman> 10.10 was not for me
[02:54] <DrkCodeman> so many bugs with 10.10 when i got it
[02:55] <shcherbak> DrkCodeman: From progamer point of view: in M$ i need days to test dirivers and addjust settings, in Ubuntu need days to play with wine ;)
[02:55] <BabyGirl> shcherbak:) can i just add this to the showrtut i have of mozilla= sudo nice -n -4 sudo -u user "/usr/bin/firefox"
[02:55] <Diamondcite> Loelin: What is your current ubuntu version? 10.04? 10.10? 11.04? 11.10?
[02:56] <Epzis> Diamondcite: do you have any other idea?
[02:57] <Diamondcite> Epzis: Unfortunately I am not an expert in the field with you key.. this is the first time I've seen it be needed.. so how is this sakis3g not working to your satisfaction?
[02:57] <DrkCodeman> shcherbak: what do you think of pulseaudio?
[02:57] <shcherbak> BabyGirl: Yes, there is some more about staring firefox.
[02:58] <Epzis> Diamondcite: sakis3g is working like a charm, my question was if anyone knew it or checked its source, im a lil paranoid you see, i dont want to trust it blindly but due to my job i dont have time to check the source, so i was asking if somene did
[02:58] <DrkCodeman> i remember the days of trying to get flash support for firefox on a x64 build
[02:59] <Diamondcite> Epzis: You will have to keep asking since I won't be able to help in that sense. but it might be normal to ask for administor permission to add a device.
[02:59] <shcherbak> DrkCodeman: Awesome, in comparision with jack. Till last summer was using OSS, since change cannot complain, apart of malfunction with 2+ Xservers.
[02:59] <Epzis> Diamondcite: ye but doesnt that name give you the creep ? lol
[02:59] <Epzis> ok time to copy n paste
[02:59] <aaron_c> hi, is there any reason i can't copy my entire home directory to a new desktop if they're both using ubuntu 10.04?
[02:59] <Epzis> hi everyone, i need setting up a 3g internet key, before doing so id like some advice, does anyone of you know sakis3g?	
[03:00] <Diamondcite> If it's multople lines use paste.ubuntu.com
[03:00] <DrkCodeman> is there a simple alternative of exchange to linux? rather than pop3?
[03:00] <BabyGirl> shcherbak:) thanks
[03:00] <riddlebox> when I install ubuntu on my desktop I get this error: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!
[03:00] <riddlebox> can anyone help me get it booting please?
[03:00] <b1lly> how do i see a folders privledges like +w or +r
[03:00] <perlmonkey> b1lly: ls -all
[03:01] <DrkCodeman> i have a server with quad xeon's @ 3Ghz but I cannot find a good exchange server that is x86
[03:01] <Jeruvy> aaron_c: Not really.  Some stuff like gnome settings you probably won't want.
[03:01] <DrkCodeman> other than 2003
[03:01] <nes> *bait*:D
[03:01] <aaron_c> Jeruvy: mmk thanks
[03:01] <b1lly> drwxr-xr-x
[03:01] <b1lly> does that mean full access
[03:02] <perlmonkey> b1lly: alternatively start up your file manager/browser, and click on file, then Properties > Permissions
[03:02] <perlmonkey> that shows more clearly owner, rights and group rights etc
[03:04] <b1lly> this shits starting to get frustrating lol
[03:04] <perlmonkey> b1lly: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080629011231AA0JefA explains it
[03:04] <lasha> perlmonkey: http://enli.co.cc/tutorials/automount-partitions-in-ubuntu-at-startup/ great tutorial!
[03:04] <perlmonkey> lasha thanks
[03:05] <perlmonkey> lasha I mount my partition via NFS across my network on 3 machines, so my /home is always the same/centralised
[03:05] <lasha> perlmonkey its short and it works so keep it in mind if anyone has a problem :P
[03:05] <DrkCodeman> b1lly: short answer: status <file / folder>
[03:06] <bunjee> anyone tell me how to reopen a closed MSN email account?
[03:06] <h00k> !language | b1lly
[03:07] <bunjee> anyone?
[03:07] <h00k> bunjee: that's not an Ubuntu specific question, please check with Microsoft technical support
[03:07] <DrkCodeman> sorry b1lly: i take that back its stat <file / folder>
[03:07] <bunjee> hook - sorry - they will not help
[03:08] <shcherbak> b1lly: r = read w = write x = execute - = lack of permission
[03:08] <bunjee> I've tried several times - they are practically non-existent
[03:10] <sancas> i want update but i dont want update my kernel what can i do?
[03:10] <DrkCodeman> whats a "zombie process"?
[03:10] <shcherbak> bunjee: Add your mail address you want to reopen to any known spammer, they may react...

[03:12] <IanWizard> Testing...
[03:12] <gsiaw> hello
[03:12] <joshmc> IanWizard: Hello caller, you're on the air!
[03:13] <IanWizard> joshmc: [big grin :D ]
[03:13] <joshmc> Ianwizard: even better, try /me
[03:13] <IanWizard> joshmc: thanks, I very rarely see this channel this empty, I thought something was wrong with me.
[03:13]  * joshmc like this!
[03:14] <gsiaw> is anyone familiar with using ubuntu on a usb drive, to configure, and then use the usb drive to install it?
[03:14] <IanWizard> joshmc: that would have been a good idea, I didn't think of that.
[03:14]  * IanWizard feels bad for wasting peoples time
[03:14] <joshmc> gsiaw: pendrivelinux would be very helpful for that, but I dont know how well it is updated.
[03:14] <bunjee> my mother's email account was hacked - anyone tell me how to get back in? Windows Live closed it.
[03:14] <perlmonkey> Ian don't feel bad man
[03:15] <royale1223> how do i bypass 4gb limit of remastersys?
[03:15] <shcherbak> gsiaw: Do you have ubuntu installed or on liveCD?
[03:15] <gsiaw> i have it installed on a usb drive, which boots first
[03:16] <gsiaw> i am using it now
[03:16] <perlmonkey> slightly off-topic/surreal, but what do you guys eat
[03:16] <gsiaw> but the installer confuses me a bit
[03:16] <shcherbak> gsiaw: How?
[03:16] <IanWizard> bunjee: besides being entirely the wrong chan, and probably illegal, that's what a n00b hacker would say, trying to get someone else to tell him(/her) how to hack something.
[03:16] <royale1223> how do i bypass 4gb limit of remastersys?
[03:17] <shcherbak> bunjee: Spam idea or still sound.
[03:17] <perlmonkey> got a usb stick that is not showing up/auto-mounted, any ideas?
[03:17] <gsiaw> well, i thought the live system would allow me to see if i can get everything running/configured, and then it would install it exactly as it is configured on the usb drive, onto my harddrive
[03:17] <nes> ~:D
[03:17] <gsiaw> but i havent seen documentation that says that exactly
[03:17] <bunjee> shcherbak - do not understand
[03:17] <moondog> perlmonkey: curry
[03:18] <moondog> mmm
[03:18] <perlmonkey> i love curry too
[03:18] <IanWizard> gsiaw: it doesn't install quite what's on the drive.  I know because things work using the live image, that don't after install (inhibit applet..arggghhhh)
[03:18] <oobie> having problems iwth my wifi in 10.10, when i try to install the compat wireless module for my kernel, it tells me i want the meta package.  where do i get this?  or is it alright to just do it and ignore the warning?
[03:18] <gsiaw> IanWizard - so when i install it from the live usb drive, i will be starting from square 1 again?
[03:19] <royale1223> Does anybody know how to bypass the 4gb limit of remastersys?
[03:19] <fede> hi
[03:19] <IanWizard> gsiaw: yep
[03:19] <fede> anyone here know something about gnome-shell?
[03:19] <gsiaw> IanWizard - oh , good to know, i guess
[03:19] <IanWizard> gsiaw: there may be a way around that, but I'm unaware of it.
[03:19] <fede> I'm having a problem with the internet connection and maybe you can help me
[03:20] <gsiaw> IanWizard - thanks! i will start writing down what i did  then
[03:20] <oobie> fede:  me too
[03:20] <IanWizard> gsiaw: no prob
[03:21] <fede> oobie: are you using the latest version?
[03:21] <royale1223> Does anybody know how to bypass the 4gb limit of remastersys?
[03:21] <oobie> is 10.10 the latest or is there a new one i am not aware of?
[03:21] <oobie> i know the new one is coming out eoApril
[03:21] <fede> that's ubuntu version, i'm talking about gnome-shell
[03:21] <gsiaw> next question : i have a 7000 rpm harddrive, and several slower harddrives. even though the usb live drive starts up, it doesnt seem to mount any of the harddrives, even thought they show up in the GUI
[03:21] <oobie> ah
[03:21]  * perlmonkey has mounted the usb stick
[03:21] <gsiaw> is that normal?
[03:22] <Lantizia> Hey how can I generate the type of password hash used in /etc/shadow to use with useradd?
[03:22] <fede> it's still on beta, but I like very much and I can wait to use it

[03:23] <shcherbak> royale1223: apparently it is not possible, reason: data backup should be done using other methods and 4GB is enough for system files. http://www.remastersys.com/forums/index.php?topic=1001.0
[03:23] <fede> the problem I'm having is that the internet connection dissapears sometimes and I have to close the session to use the internet again
[03:24] <royale1223> shcherbak: i'm using the distro option
[03:24] <friendly> hello
[03:24] <dom15> How do you log into an FTP server anonymously without having to enter the username "anonymous"? "ftp anonymous@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" doesn't work for me.
[03:25] <shcherbak> royale1223: I just started reading, it made me interested that there is such limit.
[03:25] <friendly> is any one familiar with running apache and mod_perl? I can't seem to get my code to execute. it just displays the files text
[03:25] <royale1223> shcherbak: okay
[03:26] <shcherbak> dom15: ftp <address> ?
[03:27] <grendal-prime> anyone now what the MATCH function does?
[03:27] <dom15> ftp <address> works but then asks for me to log in. I want to log in automatically.
[03:29] <royale1223> Does anybody know how to bypass the 4gb limit of remastersys?
[03:29] <friendly> does any one here run mod_perl?
[03:32] <ayecee> dom15: you can do that by creating a .netrc in your home directory with the credentials. There's a netrc manpage that describes the format.
[03:33] <Jordan_U> royale1223: What is your end goal? There may be a better way to achieve it than remastersys.
[03:34] <dom15> perfect, thanks!
[03:35] <DrkCodeman> hmm, quick question... how long does it take for a subdomain take to propigate?
[03:35] <DrkCodeman> i added one through cpanel i thought it was instant
[03:36] <royale1223> Jordan_U: I just want to install ubuntu like the way it is to another pc
[03:37] <Jordan_U> royale1223: Is the other PC's hard drive larger or smaller than your current one's?
[03:37] <skullboy> how do i get chrome to display http://
[03:37] <DrkCodeman> and is there a command to add my user account to the sudo wheel?
[03:38] <royale1223> Jordan_U: larger
[03:38] <Jordan_U> skullboy: I don't know, but you should notice that if you copy  a URL from chrome it *will* include the http:// in the clipboard.
[03:38] <b1lly> how do i change all chown -r /var/www/dir read write
[03:38] <skullboy> Jordan_U: i am aware but i want it to display
[03:39] <b1lly> sudow chown -r /var/www/dir data-www
[03:39] <b1lly> or w/e
[03:39] <Jordan_U> royale1223: Then you can dd the whole drive from one machine to the other, then resize the partitition on the larger drive to use all of the space.
[03:39] <DrkCodeman> b1lly: chown is to change ownership
[03:39] <DrkCodeman> b1lly: you probaly mean chmod
[03:39] <DrkCodeman> chmod is to change permissions
[03:40] <DrkCodeman> so it would be like sudo chmod <location> 777 -R
[03:40] <DrkCodeman> would be complete access
[03:40] <DrkCodeman> and all sub folders
[03:40] <skullboy> how do i get chrome to display http://
[03:41] <area51pilot> i can connect to a secure wireless network but not an unsecured network...can anyone help?
[03:41] <kevinclark> Hi there. I'm running tomcat6 (6.0.24-2ubuntu1.5) and would like size based rotation (rather than time based) on the catalina.out log file. I was hoping to just pipe the output of catalina.sh into svlogd (the rest of the system uses runit - if someone has a startup script that's compatible, that'd work too), but start-stop-daemon backgrounds and I'm not sure how that and svlogd would interact. Anyone know if I can just add the pipe to the argum
 ur useing the wrong network encryption
[03:41] <b1lly> no i wanna chown
[03:42] <b1lly> sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/homeskoold/uploads/* returning no such file or dir
[03:42] <mrdeb> what is the purpose of sudo
[03:42] <DrkCodeman> b1lly: -R is at the end
[03:43] <area51pilot> mrdeb: sudo is admin privelages
[03:43] <DrkCodeman> mrdeb sudo or do as super user
[03:43] <mrdeb> what's the difference between using sudo or just typing su?
[03:43] <jdog> Hi all this my first time in this chat room
[03:43] <Mad_HaTTer> sudo su or sudo -i
[03:43] <DrkCodeman> basicaly to be able to use "root" less heh
[03:44] <Mad_HaTTer> or you can often jhust change the privilages with chmod
[03:44] <DrkCodeman> lol not many official supporters of this channel i might as well start using google
[03:44] <DrkCodeman> Mad_HaTTer: i already said that
[03:44] <itaylor57> skullboy: try this link http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=41467
[03:44] <joshmc> mrdeb: it's using root permissions one time (well, unlocking it to use, etc) but you are not truely root. su would switch you to root for the session, or until you change back.
[03:45] <mrdeb> joshmc: so it's just as safe or unsafe to just use su, and then exit from terminal to stop
[03:45] <DrkCodeman> i mainly use sudo for apt-get or updatedb
[03:45] <Mad_HaTTer> srry just got back to the comp so didnt see it
[03:45] <joshmc> mrdeb: it's as safe as you and your habits make it.
[03:45] <jdog> Has any one gotten the M-Audio Revolution 7.1 sound card to work in Ubuntu 10.10
[03:45] <mrdeb> good
[03:45] <mrdeb> so there is no need for sudo to be installed
[03:45] <kevinclark> mrdeb: sudo is usually used for one off commands. it can also be restricted to specific users or commands, so you can give a user access without giving them root
[03:45] <DrkCodeman> anyone here know how to add a user to the sudo wheel?
[03:46] <joshmc> DrlCodeman: through visudo??
[03:46] <joshmc> DrkCodeman: ^ but I'm not sure

[04:23] <AndreuLs> :-)
[04:23] <Mad_HaTTer> ha
[04:23] <ironchew> sudo will do the trick.
[04:23] <landingonwater> AndreuLs: avoid moviestars in general
[04:23] <ironchew> But it won't be a mutual love.

[04:23] <rcconf> I have
[04:23] <rcconf> k
[04:24] <New0> hi guys, hi set grub to be hidden from windows. now i need to change it back. how? i'm in windows maybe there is software?
[04:24] <Greed> Yo!
[04:24] <Diamondcite> New0: What makes it so you can't boot back into linux?
[04:24] <lasha> guys are there performance improvements in 11.04 ? in comparison to 10.10 ?
[04:24] <royale1243> anybody familier with reconstructor?
[04:24] <AndreuLs> yes lasha.
[04:24] <rcconf> I have an issue: I added Ubuntu Dev Audio PPA and upgraded the audio packages. Then I purged the PPA... And now I have obsolete packages. How can I fix this? thanks
[04:25] <rcconf> I want to roll back to previous version
[04:25] <lasha> AndreuLs: is it more lightweight ?
[04:25] <New0> Diamondcite Yes because now the GRUB menu is Hidden
[04:25] <Diamondcite> New0: Press something as the system boots, say esc and press it repeatedly, grub shouldn't be THAT hidden unless it was wiped out..
[04:25] <New0> Diamondcite but for now it also not possible for me to boot with Live Cd
[04:26] <Diamondcite> New0:  Why did you have a need to hide grub that deep anyway?
[04:27] <red2kic> Grub2 doesn't display menu by default. HOLD SHIFT to see menu.
[04:28] <New0> Diamondcite becuaese my laptop did problems, and i called Sony Support and they say that someone will come to me to fix it. but my brother told me to hidded it so the tech guy whould not blem me
[04:28] <rcconf> Please I need to know to rollback to other releases of pulseaudio
[04:28] <Osmodivs> I am planning to leave my computer ON ll night rendering an image in Luxrnder, but I want to set an alarm in case the GPU overheats. I am using GKREKLLM, is there a command that alerts me when my GPU overheats?
[04:29] <Mad_HaTTer> often you can set it in the bios
[04:29] <New0> Diamondcite i try it Esc but it didn't work. it say Grub is loading or something like it, and then windows keep load and not show me the grub menu
[04:30] <Diamondcite> New0: Someone else recommended holding shift during boot (probably left shift)
[04:30] <Mad_HaTTer> but why would it overheat in the first place?
[04:30] <Mad_HaTTer> toss some heat spreader on it and a better fan and it should be fine
[04:31] <Mad_HaTTer> maybe a better sink too
[04:31] <New0> Diamondcite ok anyway i will try it another time now and i will see,,, hoo tnx didn't try it yet. anyway i will try it now and will be back. THANK YOU SO MUCH :)
[04:31] <Abhijit> good morning
[04:31] <XUniqueone> hello
[04:31] <Mad_HaTTer> good evening
[04:31] <XUniqueone> good night
[04:32] <Abhijit> in my friends pc we first treid ubuntu and it hangs after 'boot into live cd without installing' pc is old. so we tried xubuntu. but same problem. whats wrong? what we can do?
[04:32] <Abhijit> help

[04:33] <Mad_HaTTer> i tried ubuntu dsl mandriva knoppix
[04:33] <XUniqueone> what to talk about fellow nerds
[04:33] <Diamondcite> Abhijit: If it has a wifi capable card, it might want wifi to be connected before it works
[04:34] <Abhijit> Diamondcite, ??
[04:34] <XUniqueone> why
[04:34] <Abhijit> Diamondcite, we are talking about booting into live x/ubuntu cd
[04:34] <rcconf> AndreuLs: jaunty?
[04:34] <Diamondcite> Abhijit: It's one of those odd quirks I don't understand yet, in my own home when I tried to liveCD at times it would fail until network is connected.
[04:35] <Abhijit> Diamondcite, i will try this. today i am goint to taht friends home. thank yuo.
[04:35] <Mad_HaTTer> i can boot live or install on the i686 acrhitceture im talking bout ohh tried arch too
[04:35] <Abhijit> you
[04:35] <caleb_fd09> is there a channel for virtual box?
[04:35] <Abhijit> caleb_fd09, #vbox
[04:36] <New0> Diamondcite hey, i try it with Esc and Shift Right, Left , Both and didn't work
[04:36] <Mad_HaTTer> is there a channel for proxmox

[04:36] <Mad_HaTTer> yep
[04:37] <twiggz> Ok, me for one...Im sick of these netsplits...this joint splits more than efnet, undernet, and dalnet combined...and then they make excuses...try our up and coming irc network, we offer the same services, less netsplits. irc.sindustries.org
[04:37] <Diamondcite> New0: You will need a liveCD/LiveUSB to changeg grub settings..
[04:37] <New0> Diamondcite ok this is the thing. i choose in grub to select win 7, then i choose timeout to 0

[04:38] <Osmodivs>  Des anyone knows thw command for my PC to beep analarm if my GPU is overheating?
[04:38] <New0> Diamondcite yea i know tnx :). but right now i don't have one. so maybe it's possible from windows. i knnow there is a software that can read/write to/from EXT3
[04:38] <smw> Edgan, bash needs to be in the chroot
[04:39] <Edge226> so the bash needs to be in the directory you are chrooting into?
[04:40] <ac7ss> Osmodivs, You could script something that polls the temp and sounds a beep.
[04:41] <ac7ss> Osmodivs, It would depend on where you could read the temp from, some use /proc/acpi/thermzone others use an application.
[04:41] <sonee> hey anyone here use asus u series ?
[04:41] <Osmodivs> ac7ss,  Well, I am using GKRELLM, I just want to use a command that beeps with the internal speaker.
[04:41] <Diamondcite> New0: The main issue is.... writting to ext3 isn't enough, you need to get to the the MBR..
[04:42] <b1lly> ok
[04:42] <b1lly> i got the ftp user account to work
[04:42] <Alex61639> guys, i need to compile source code for wireless driver. here is my output to lspci command http://pastebin.com/EZpTgUgi
[04:42] <b1lly> my question is, how do i find out what directory im connected to now lol
[04:42] <New0> Diamondcite right... i forgot about update-grub :)
[04:42] <b1lly> cuz it def isnt right
[04:42] <ac7ss> Osmodivs, beep would sound the bell.
[04:42] <New0> lOL
[04:42] <Osmodivs> ac7ss,  the command Beep does not work, unless I need to add a $,&,; or wahtever symbol to execute it
[04:42] <New0> tnx
[04:42] <b1lly> or how do i set r+write access to users for /var/www/website/*
[04:42] <b1lly> and all the sub directories
[04:42] <bpr> is thre a way to get the ubuntu1 client to stop spamming libnotify (on Natty)
[04:42] <bpr> ?
[04:43] <Logan_> !natty | bpr
[04:43] <ac7ss> Osmodivs, are you doing this from a shell or within the ap.
[04:43] <bpr> lol... ty ubottu (lol @ bots)
[04:43] <Osmodivs> ac7ss,  Within the app
[04:44] <bpr> Logan_: I asked in #ubuntu+1, it's dead atm
[04:44] <Logan_> bpr: yes, but we do not answer Natty-related questions in this channel.  You will have to be patient.
[04:44] <Joey_> Does this channel offer Wubi support as well?
[04:44] <rcconf> bpr: try ##linux
[04:44] <Logan_> Joey_: yes.
[04:44] <bpr> ty, rcconf
[04:44] <Alex61639> Diamondcite: hi, i found out that my machine doesn`t have make file for wireless driver. how can i make this file
[04:44] <New0> Diamondcite ok man THANK YOU VERY MUCH for trying to help me. but i think that i need to solve it with LiveCD/USB and not stick my head to the gruond :) tnx
[04:45] <Theoretician> hello, will e2fsck erase my hard drive?
[04:45] <ac7ss> Osmodivs, I am not familiar with the app. so cannot help. (I would write a script to poll regularly and sound the beep. not using the app.)
[04:45] <b1lly> wahoo got it to work
[04:45] <Mad_HaTTer> i need to be identified with services?
[04:45] <Joey_> I've tried using Wubi about 10 times today with different versions of Ubuntu, and each time, after the install of the OS completes, the bootloader fails even though I didn't run updates
[04:45] <Bling98> hello, I just experienced a problem updating ubuntu, can anyone help me?
[04:45] <Diamondcite> Alex61639: I don't suppose you can plug in a network cable to get networking?
[04:45] <Theoretician> problem updating?
[04:45] <Logan_> !ask | Bling98
[04:46] <ac7ss> Osmodivs, beep may be an internal sh command. you may be able to get away with "sh beep" to sound it.
[04:46] <Alex61639> Diamondcite: no, i can`t plug it in. for some stupid reasons (don`t ask :)) i wouldn`t ask otherwise
[04:46] <Theoretician> I'm trying to recover my crashed hard drive. Will running $ e2fsck -f /dev/sda5 erase my data on my dual boot laptop?
[04:47] <Alex61639>  Diamondcite: btw what is the name of the wireless driver for ubuntu?
[04:48] <indicator> For some reason, network time is not being set
[04:48] <Osmodivs> ac7ss,  sh beep, nothing, I guess I am gonna have to trust my GPU to not overheat tonight, it's too late for me to do something else, thx anyway
[04:48] <Diamondcite> Alex61639: Ubuntu comes with certain wireless drivers built in.. more importantly.. what is your wireless card?
[04:48] <indicator> I have tried to set it on 4 different systems and it wont set.. It's getting kind of annoying
[04:48] <Bling98> ok, I installed ubuntu previously and was updating some files. then it asked to reboot, following the reboot, I had a version 10 of ubuntu, and there was nothing but the terminal window asking for my login and password. the main folders were still there, but I don't see any of my files.
[04:48] <ExplodingPiglets> Is there some reason why the linux devs decided it would be too convenient to have an "install" button on their programs?
[04:49] <Diamondcite> Alex61639: If you have no idea, then please provide the full modelname if your laptop
[04:49] <Alex61639>  Diamondcite: are u asking about BCM4312?
[04:49] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: if it's a .deb file just double click it..
[04:49] <ac7ss> Osmodivs, another approach would be to "mpg123 Soundfile.mp3" over the regular speakers. :)
[04:49] <ExplodingPiglets> it is a tar file
[04:49] <New0> Diamondcite by the way, after i'm loading LiveCD/USB, i only need to find GRUB change it back and update-grub command?
[04:49] <Diamondcite> Alex61639: some form of broadcom.. doensn't the enviroment ask you to Activate additional drivers?
[04:50] <red2kic> ExplodingPiglets: If you want "install" button, look for debs.
[04:50] <Diamondcite> New0: Supposedly, yes
[04:50] <Theoretician> if it is a .tar file, you will probably have to build it
[04:50] <ExplodingPiglets> Well, it isn't a deb.
[04:50] <Diamondcite> New0: Please remember to chroot into your hard drive!
[04:50] <red2kic> ExplodingPiglets: TAR = Source File. Compile it first then install it.
[04:50] <ExplodingPiglets> It is a driver for my webcam
[04:50] <ExplodingPiglets> Ok, what the hell is compile?
[04:50] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: there's many ways of packaging programs.. some tar's have to be compiled.. others come with installers.. you just have to know how to install it.. but you're not getting tar's from the software center (ubuntu dev's responsibility)
[04:51] <Alex61639> Diamondcite: it says it can`t connect to the internet
[04:51] <ExplodingPiglets> ok let's pretend I have no idea what compiling is or how to do it
[04:51] <thetrav> what's a command I can use to find words (eg, background) within text files from the terminal?
[04:51] <red2kic> ExplodingPiglets: "use a computer program to translate source code written in a particular programming language into computer-readable machine code that can be executed"
[04:51] <thetrav> it's not grep is it?
[04:51] <thetrav> nor is it find
[04:51] <Diamondcite> Alex61639: ... that is odd.. So it DOES say additional drivers are available but it wants the internet?
[04:51] <thetrav> is it SED?
[04:51] <izinucs> !compile | ExplodingPiglets
[04:51]  * ExplodingPiglets facedesks
[04:51] <b1lly> my ftp only works on my local machine.. if i go on another computer on my network, it queries username and password but doesnt auth
[04:51] <b1lly> however on the server itself i can log in fine
[04:52] <rcconf> !rollback
[04:52] <red2kic> ExplodingPiglets: Almost everybody nowaday are installed by binaries. When you compile a source code, you create a binary, then you install that binary.
[04:52] <Theoretician> does anyone know how to recover data from an encrypted hard drive?
[04:52] <izinucs> b1lly: probably because that machine's user doesn't have a user on the ftp machine and/or that user isn't listed in the database of users for the FTP
[04:52] <edwinkcw> I have a source code and I want to compile under Linux but the executale file is able to run under MacOS
[04:52] <rcconf> Theoretician: install trucrypt
[04:52] <rcconf> Theoretician: install truecrypt
[04:52] <rcconf> and mount the volume
[04:52] <Theoretician> can i apt-get it?
[04:52] <Alex61639> Diamondcite; yes. i have followed some videos on youtube where guys simply activate driver after downloading it
[04:53] <red2kic> Theoretician: Recover data? You forget the password?
[04:53] <ExplodingPiglets> sweet jesus!
[04:53] <rcconf> Theoretician: no, go to their site
[04:53] <ExplodingPiglets> ok....
[04:53] <b1lly> well my localhost machine prompts username and password, and when i enter it in, it directs me to the correct dir
[04:53] <ExplodingPiglets> what is a binary?
[04:53] <thetrav> oh, it is grep
[04:53] <thetrav> woot
[04:53] <rcconf> !ot | ExplodingPiglets
[04:53] <thetrav> I grepped me a background
[04:53] <b1lly> howeever when i goto another machine ont he network, it prompts me, but the password and user isnt recognized
[04:53] <Theoretician> i have the password and can mount the hard drive, I just can't read the encrypted data. I have the password
[04:53] <rcconf> How can I rollback pulseaudio?
[04:53] <red2kic> Theoretician: Okay. How is it encrypted in first place?
[04:53] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: what's the driver for again?
[04:53] <ExplodingPiglets> I am being on topic, I am trying to get help. Isn't that what #ubuntu is for? Or is it just called  the support channel for the lulz?
[04:54] <ExplodingPiglets> quickcam
[04:54] <area51pilot> why would my wireless connect to an unsecured network...pull a webpage and then disconnect?
[04:54] <Theoretician> with the default encryption that ubuntu offers when you install
[04:54] <ExplodingPiglets> the file name is qc-usb-0.6.6.tar.gz
[04:54] <b1lly> izinucs: any suggestion?
[04:54] <rcconf> Theoretician: dont know :\
[04:54] <Theoretician> the encrypt home directory button
[04:54] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: and where did you find out that's what you needed for the cam?
[04:54] <ExplodingPiglets> I googled.
[04:54] <red2kic> Theoretician: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[04:55] <red2kic> Theoretician: You may have better luck with this as I don't use that stuff myself.
[04:55] <Theoretician> That is what I have been doing...
[04:55] <ExplodingPiglets> My webcam works....sort of. But the lighting goes off.
[04:55] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: not being overly familure with cams.. is quickcam logitech or MS or what?
[04:55] <ExplodingPiglets> yeah
[04:55] <ExplodingPiglets> logitech
[04:55] <Theoretician> it doesn't work
[04:55] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: what do you mean the lighting goes off?
[04:55] <soreau> ExplodingPiglets: What program are you testing with?
[04:55] <Diamondcite> Alex61639: Look for broadcom-sta-common and broadcom-sta-source from an ubuntu package server and downlaod those files to usb
[04:55] <ExplodingPiglets> wel hold on
[04:56] <rcconf> !doesnt work
[04:56] <ExplodingPiglets> it just sort of flickers
[04:56] <Theoretician> So I have been following that guide that you sent, however I cannot access the files with the process described
[04:56] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: what program are you testing it with?
[04:56] <T_N_T> hello, I just got ubuntu to work, and now I am having an issue installing things, I am getting a message that says "an unhandleable error occured" "there seems to be a programming error in aptdameon" this is on 10.10
[04:56] <Diamondcite> Alex61639: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/broadcom-sta-common
[04:57] <ExplodingPiglets> here
[04:57] <ExplodingPiglets> http://tinychat.com/woeiwdoied
[04:57] <ExplodingPiglets> look at it
[04:57] <red2kic> Theoretician: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Ecryptfs/ (Perhaps, access your encrypted data from a liveCD or similar).
[04:57] <Alex61639> Diamondcite: thanks, i will have a look
[04:57] <T_N_T> anything I can do to get rid of that error?
[04:58] <Theoretician> red2kic: im going to try that, gimme a sec
[04:58] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: looks like a flash site.. that might be part of the issue. Did you install flash on your machine?
[04:58] <ExplodingPiglets> I believe it has it.
[04:58] <ExplodingPiglets> What program in particular should I be looking for?
[04:58] <ExplodingPiglets> hold on, let me test it on cheese
[04:58] <Alex61639> Diamondcite: i need all of them? all three
[04:58] <soreau> ExplodingPiglets: Yes, try cheese
[04:59] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: you can test with "cheese".. sudo apt-get install cheese or look in software center for it.
[04:59] <Tamago> Any idea why the mini install ISO would freeze when I select "install" ? I can scroll the menu before I choose anything, but when I choose install it just freezes at the menu..
[04:59] <soreau> Tamago: What version of ubuntu?
[05:00] <rcconf> !downgrade
[05:00] <Diamondcite> Alex61639: Atleast common and source I think.
[05:00] <Tamago> soreau: 10.10
[05:00] <New0> Diamondcite chroot what is it?
[05:00] <soreau> Tamago: Did you check the md5sum of the image?
[05:00] <red2kic> Tamago: Use "spacebar" to toggle something before you "Enter" to install something.
[05:00] <Tamago> I copied the cd to usb key, syslinux'd it, renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
[05:00] <ExplodingPiglets> ok it works fine in cheese
[05:00] <Tamago> soreau: nah.
[05:00] <rcconf> so I just want to downgrade a package!
[05:00] <Theoretician> red2kic: I did, and i get this: Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory
[05:00] <Theoretician> Check your system logs; visit <http://launchpad.net/ecryptfs>
[05:00] <red2kic> Tamago: So you're installing nothing.
[05:00] <soreau> ExplodingPiglets: That means your drivers are working fine
[05:00] <Tamago> red: ok.. er? I'm at the boot menu, not the installer.
[05:00] <Diamondcite> New0: the chroot command when used properly makes the disable system look like the active system so you can do repairs on it while it won't boot
[05:00] <ExplodingPiglets> ok, then what is the problem?
[05:01] <soreau> ExplodingPiglets: It's likely whatever other program you were seeing the problem in is at fault
[05:01] <izinucs> ExplodingPiglets: so you might need to install flash.. there are several versions.. some are "free" some not.. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:01] <rcconf> im gonna do this way. wish me luck https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto#Setting%20up%20pinning
[05:01] <red2kic> Theoretician: I never used eCryptfs -- I only know little enough to give you useful links.
[05:01] <Theoretician> red2kic: here is exactly what i ran: sudo mount -t ecryptfs /home/<user>/home/<user>/.Private /mnt/hard_drive
[05:02] <littlebearz1> oh
[05:02] <red2kic> Theoretician: <user> -- Being your actual username?
[05:02] <soreau> Tamago: You might want to check the md5sum to eliminate the possibility of a faulty iso image
[05:02] <New0> Diamondcite ok i never use this command, but also i will not weste your time. and i will google it tnx :)
[05:02] <rcconf> hm force version in synaptic
[05:03] <rcconf> hehe
[05:03] <Theoretician> red2kic: right now I am running ubuntu off of a external hard drive and I copied the encrypted home directory on the internal hard drive to my /home/<user>
[05:05] <jiltdil> i have a partition named Data and i want to mount it automatically on every system restart how to do that using fstab?
[05:05] <rcconf> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[05:05] <rcconf> why?
[05:05] <red2kic> Theoretician: A friendly advice. If you're able to get in just fine, make a backup.
[05:05] <ExplodingPiglets> ok I tried webcam studio
[05:05] <ExplodingPiglets> the same thing is happening
[05:05] <ExplodingPiglets> it keeps flickering
[05:05] <ac7ss> jiltdil, add an entry to your /etc/fstab
[05:06] <YankDownUnder> jiltdil, Um...there's heaps of "examples" on the forums...?
[05:06] <Theoretician> red2kic: that is what I did, however I would like to be able to decrypt my back up
[05:06] <jiltdil> ac7ss:whats the entery i have to de done
[05:06] <soreau> ExplodingPiglets: Do you have it pointed at a high lumen area? (such as outside sunlight)
[05:06] <ExplodingPiglets> nope
[05:06] <ExplodingPiglets> not at all
[05:06] <ExplodingPiglets> It is night here and I am in my well-lit room
[05:06] <ac7ss> jiltdil, use a mount command to mount it where you want it, use the information gained from 'mount' to copy into the fstab.
[05:07] <red2kic> Theoretician: Google something like "ubuntu, ecryptfs decrypt, solved" -- You may get lucky.
[05:07] <YankDownUnder> jiltdil, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[05:07] <Theoretician> yeah, ok
[05:08] <ac7ss> jiltdil, "mount /dev/hdb0 /data ; mount" the result will give something like /dev/dhb0 on /data type vfat options rw, nouser,remount
[05:08] <rcconf> Theoretician: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[05:09] <Theoretician> rcconf: I have been doing that however it will not let me see decrypted files
[05:09] <Tamago> !minimal
[05:10] <Tamago> ... could someone do that command for me?
[05:10] <Tamago> nm, google helped.
[05:10] <Vr_Ray> they having a fire drill lol
[05:10] <rcconf> Theoretician: you are doing something wrong obviously
[05:10] <ac7ss> jiltdil, use that information line from the mount command to set the options in fstab, copying the options shown.
[05:11] <Kamakazi> stupid component, just enable
[05:11] <Theoretician> rcconf: well, I will try again, but I did everything exactly as was listed
[05:12] <speedrunnerG55> hello fellow linux users
[05:12] <ac7ss> Hello speedrunnerG55
[05:12] <Kamakazi> howdy
[05:12] <rcconf> what is the difference "maverick" and "maverick-updates"?
[05:12] <rcconf> pulseaudio package
[05:12] <Diamondcite> We are the Borg you will be.. er I mean Hi, anything we can help you with?
[05:12] <rcconf> ei speedrunnerG55
[05:12] <jiltdil> i have to mount this /dev/sda5: LABEL="Data" UUID="0b8c94cb-6b87-4887-9350-38b448fd7e17" TYPE="ext4" what should i have to enter in /etc/fstab?
[05:13] <Kamakazi> and by component earlier, I meant composite
[05:13] <teage> Hello, I have managed to fix my wacky mouse using these commands, sudo rmmod psmouse and then sudo modprobe psmouse proto+imps,  works great!, now how do i keep them settings on my next boot as i loose them and have to reenter those commands?
[05:13] <rcconf> DO I force version maverick or maverick-update?
[05:13] <rcconf> maverick-updates?
[05:13] <ac7ss> jiltdil, where is the target directory (mountpoint)
[05:13] <Mad_HaTTer> a mod probe serial
[05:14] <rcconf> Mad_HaTTer: what?
[05:14] <jiltdil> ac7ss:/media/Data
[05:14] <Mad_HaTTer> ohh just reading what u did
[05:14] <Theoretician> Does anybody know if e2fsck will erase my hard drive?
[05:15] <Mad_HaTTer> e2 file system check
[05:15] <Kamakazi> apparently can't use compiz and xinerama....great....
[05:15] <ExplodingPiglets> screw this, I am going back to windows.
[05:15] <Mad_HaTTer> kinda like sfc in windows
[05:15] <izinucs> Kamakazi: why you using xinerama?
[05:15] <teage> Is there supposed to be a options file in modprobe.d under maverick?
[05:15] <rcconf> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[05:15] <Vr_Ray> its just a fire drill
[05:16] <rcconf> what the hell?
[05:16] <rcconf> how can I downgrade pulseaudio?
[05:16] <Kamakazi> izinucs: It was the only way I could get my dual portrait-mode screens to work right
[05:16] <ac7ss> jiltdil,  /dev/sda5 /media/Data ext4  defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[05:16] <jiltdil> ac7ss: also when i want to go into Data via terminal i am unable to go to it
[05:16] <Synthead> where is mkfs.ext4?  it's not installed on my system
[05:16] <Theoretician> Mad_HaTTer: I know what it stands for, will it erase my hard drive though?
[05:16] <Synthead> what package has mkfs.ext4?
[05:16] <hanasaki> anyone able to get netflix going... I have tried a bunch of stuff from the net but no luck
[05:16] <ayecee> !find mkfs.ext4
[05:16] <Mad_HaTTer> no it checks your file system
[05:17] <draven_sol> do i have to restore lost+found files on the current filesystem or can i do it later on a fresh install?
[05:17] <izinucs> Kamakazi: twinview wouldn't do it with a custom xorg.conf? or using xrandr to rearrange the monitors orientation?
[05:17] <Synthead> ayecee: I have e2fsprogs installed
[05:17] <Logan_> !silverlight | hanasaki
[05:17] <hiexpo> Synthead, is formting
[05:17] <Theoretician> Mad_HaTTer: so it wont? I just want to be sure...
[05:17] <hanasaki> Logan_:  I did that... still no luck
[05:18] <hiexpo> Synthead,  just use terminal to format
[05:18] <Kamakazi> izinucs, well, I couldn't get that to work, which certainly doesn't mean it isn't possible
[05:18] <ayecee> Synthead: there is no /sbin/mkfs.ext4?
[05:18] <hanasaki> go figure.. they have java servers and play via silverlight
[05:18] <Mad_HaTTer> no it wont it checks the integrity of your file system
[05:18] <Synthead> ayecee: no, there isn't
[05:18] <ayecee> Synthead: you may have to reinstall the package
[05:18] <Synthead> hiexpo: this is a cloud machine that will never have a monitor on it
[05:18] <izinucs> Kamakazi: most likely xrandr will do it for you.. it'll take some digging for the right commands though.
[05:19] <jiltdil> ac7ss; whai is the meaning of remount -ro
[05:19] <rcconf> How do I downgrade pulseaudio after purging a PPA?!
[05:19] <Synthead> ayecee: how do you reinstall, or force an install?
[05:19] <Theoretician> Mad_HaTTer: yeah but when I run it it offers to fix errors, will this erase anything on any partition?
[05:19] <hiexpo> Synthead, oh i don't know about clout
[05:19] <ayecee> Synthead: apt-get install --reinstall
[05:19] <Synthead> ayecee: still doesn't have mkfs.ext4
[05:19] <Mad_HaTTer> unmount something thats mounted and remount it obviously
[05:20] <ac7ss> jiltdil, if there is an error, it will remount the drive read-only.
[05:20] <Mad_HaTTer> more of a diagnostic command
[05:20] <Kamakazi> izinucs: well, here we go
[05:20] <Theoretician> Mad_HaTTer: ok, thanks
[05:20] <hiexpo> Synthead, what are you wanting to format ?
[05:20] <Mad_HaTTer> np
[05:20] <Synthead> hiexpo: an EBS virtual drive from amazon

[05:21] <linuxhomie> hello all
[05:21] <hiexpo> rcconf, just do a reinstall of the package or you could go get it and compile it yourself
[05:22] <ayecee> T_N_T: what happens when you try?
[05:22] <Kamakazi> lol, as it turns out, twinview actually works, after all the fiddling I did with xorg.conf to get xinerama to work. But now I remember why I didn't use twinview to begin with, I can't drag windows between monitors

[05:23] <jiltdil> rconfg:yes you will do with that just remove your ppa packages from package manager and install new
[05:23] <Mad_HaTTer> you nee to purge and install apt
[05:23] <ayecee> Synthead: what version of ubuntu?
[05:23] <hiexpo> rcconf, yes if you want to downgrade go get the package and compile it yourself
[05:23] <Mad_HaTTer> i had that prob b4
[05:24] <Theoretician> Mad_HaTTer: do what?
[05:24] <T_N_T> mad hatter what command should i use in terminal, btw this is on 10.10

[05:25] <rcconf> could not
[05:25] <Mad_HaTTer> that previous about apt was to tnt
[05:26] <hiexpo> rcconf, if you have the ppas than remove the ppa and do sudo apt-get update
[05:26] <rcconf> hiexpo: I did that
[05:26] <rcconf> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[05:26] <rcconf> hiexpo: but im gonna try that method again

[05:28] <T_N_T> ok mad_hatter how do I re-install apt, im somewhat of a noob
[05:29] <al_nz1> rcconf: lol - it cant be that easy.
[05:29] <al_nz1> rcconf: then connect as a SMB share?
[05:29] <rcconf> ofc
[05:29] <rcconf> al_nz1: it is easy.
[05:30] <rcconf> al_nz1: then you just need to configure the network in lan
[05:30] <jiltdil> ac7ss: whaen i restarted my system it says an error occured while mounting 0  use S to skip or M to manually correct
[05:31] <jiltdil>  when i restarted my system it says an error occured while mounting 0  use S to skip or M to manually correct
[05:31] <al_nz1> rcconf: C:\Users\Al>net use S: \\192.168.70.102\al_home /user:al
[05:31] <al_nz1> rcconf: then it asks for password
[05:31] <al_nz1> rcconf: thinks - then fails
[05:31] <rcconf> al_nz1: put yout ubuntu password
[05:31] <rcconf> your
[05:31] <rcconf> or the password
[05:31] <al_nz1> rcconf: complains password incorrect???

[05:32] <rcconf>   Depends: libpulse0 (=1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1) but 1:0.9.22-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[05:32] <rcconf> dammit.
[05:32] <al_nz1> rcconf: sorry - what do you think I need to change?
[05:32] <rcconf> al_nz1: check the share settings....
[05:33] <Mad_HaTTer> actually first try sudo at-get i dont member all the commands actually install ap-get, update apt-get, upgrade apt-get theres something that you have to do before those too but i dont member i had that problem months ago
[05:33] <rcconf> right the click the folder you want to share
[05:33] <hiexpo> rcconf, ok go open  admin software sources
[05:33] <al_nz1> rcconf: right click on the foldeR?
[05:33] <DaPenguin> iirc, samba needs the windows pass to connect the share
[05:33] <rcconf> hiexpo: already did that and purged the PPA
[05:33] <Mad_HaTTer> lol
[05:33] <rcconf> and updated the repositories
[05:33] <rcconf> im not a noob
[05:33] <Mad_HaTTer> apt-get install*
[05:33] <T_N_T> ok
[05:34] <rcconf> maybe I removed an official repos
[05:34] <Mad_HaTTer> i member it was a pain cause the pkgman kept failing but it was fine in term
[05:34] <hiexpo> possablecheck it

[05:36] <YankDownUnder> http://www.7tutorials.com/how-access-ubuntu-shared-folders-windows-7
[05:37] <Mad_HaTTer> as i recall it was something with a specific kernal that was updated shortly after
[05:37] <hiexpo> rcconf, did you notice if that pulse audio is still the newer one   ?
[05:37] <hiexpo> rcconf, i bet it is
[05:38] <T_N_T> mad_hatter its downloading a bunch of files now
[05:38] <olskolirc> command to update all menus please
[05:38] <rcconf> hiexpo: not it isnt
[05:38] <rcconf> no
[05:38] <whereami> where do I complain about Natty's new interface?
[05:38] <rcconf> hiexpo: but i think dependecies are
[05:38] <Logan_> !natty | whereami
[05:38] <rcconf> hiexpo: and i cannot remove dependecies without removing many other audio apps
[05:38] <whereami> understood... where do I complain?
[05:39] <Logan_> or, better yet:
[05:39] <Logan_> !ot | whereami
[05:39] <rcconf> whereami: ##linux
[05:39] <al_nz1> rcconf: when I R click on the folder I want to share I have several Tabs. One of these Tabs is "Basic" which has Name (al), Type and Contents. On the "Share" tab is Share Name (home_al) - when I try to connect from Win7 am I useing Name (al) or Share Name (al_home) ?
[05:39] <rcconf> !samba > al_nz1
[05:40] <hiexpo> rcconf, yep i think so also i had that happen before with adding a ppa and it wrecked my system
[05:40] <rcconf> hiexpo: can you check what is the current pulseaudio version?
[05:40] <hiexpo> rcconf, ok one sec
[05:40] <rcconf> please check and tell me
[05:40] <whereami> also, I understand there's a way to go back to something more gnome2-like... where is that? (main problem I have with this interface is discoverability, btw)
[05:40] <rcconf> whereami: are you talking about natty?
[05:41] <hiexpo> rcconf, 0922/ 0921 stable on maverick
[05:41] <al_nz1> rcconf: looked at the link. How can anything in a page that long be easy???????
[05:41] <T_N_T> mad_hatter that worked, really appreciate the help, now I can continue enjoying ubuntu
[05:41] <rcconf> al_nz1: im busy
[05:41] <al_nz1> rcconf: I thought all I had to do was right click and share!
[05:41] <rcconf> it is
[05:41] <al_nz1> so why doesnt it work
[05:41] <whereami> rcconf, sorry, somehow I missed the "#ubuntu+1" part of that first message. I'll be on my way, thanks :)
[05:42] <rcconf> al_nz1: if ubuntu asks for a password USE ubuntu login password
[05:42] <rcconf> .
[05:42] <Mad_HaTTer> tnt glad to hear it
[05:42] <rcconf> and username
[05:42] <rcconf> al_nz1: what version of ubuntu are you using
[05:42] <Mad_HaTTer> i had a problem a while back that took 3 weeks bto fix and i ended up having to redo my whole system
[05:43] <T_N_T> ya
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Mate, did you check out the webpage I pasted? And bear in mind that in general, you'll have to reboot the MS machine...
[05:43] <Mad_HaTTer> yours was just one of my little snags along the way
[05:43] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: lol - u in NZ or Aus?
[05:43] <T_N_T> the thing is, on my other system which has 10.10 64 bit i didnt have that problem
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, I think I'm in Oz...sometimes...
[05:44] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: lol. looking at it now
[05:44] <T_N_T> 64 bit 10.10 worked out of the box
[05:44] <Mad_HaTTer> yeah it was some specific kernel updates
[05:44] <Neural_Noises> hi.all
[05:45] <abem> Hi, I was upgrading from Karmic to Lucid on the internet and I have the following error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found. What do I do?
[05:45] <T_N_T> well im off take care
[05:45] <Karen_m> I setup samba on another ubuntu machine.  Windows can see it, but inside nautilus if i refresh under network, it doesn't show up.  Why?  how can i get it to see it without rebooting?
[05:45] <Mad_HaTTer> for me it happened on 10.10 64bit server ed
[05:45] <T_N_T> ok
[05:45] <Mad_HaTTer> have a good one
[05:46] <hiexpo> rcconf, open synaptic and see if those to packages are in there
[05:46] <YankDownUnder> Karen_m, Did you restart samba? (sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart => or "sudo smbd restart")
[05:46] <Karen_m> yes
[05:46] <owap> when i startup a xterm, for some reason my .bashrc does not get loaded, only my .profile
[05:46] <owap> why is this
[05:46] <owap> ?
[05:47] <owap> should bashrc not be read?
[05:47] <_redpanther_> Ubuntu site download has 10.10 64 bit but it says amd64.iso? I need intel 64 bit
[05:47] <Karen_m> and now i see it, for some reason most netwokr shares show up under network, however i had to go into Windows Network->workgroup to see it
[05:47] <portugueseman> whats up
[05:47] <arand> _redpanther_: It is for intel also
[05:47] <leling> i wanna join a channel but it say 'Cannot join to channel #java (You must be invited)'
[05:47] <_redpanther_> ok ty
[05:48] <YankDownUnder> Karen_m, Sometimes SMB shares and workgroups take a bit of time to "refresh" through the network...
[05:48] <arand> _redpanther_: intel licensed technology from amd once upon a time, and the name has stuck
[05:48] <leling> could somebody answer me?
[05:48] <ohsix> _redpanther_: amd64 is the going arch name, the 64bit intel is known for is itanium, ia64; and you don't want that :D
[05:48] <hiexpo> owap, did you mesh with the bashrc file
[05:49] <hiexpo> ^ mess
[05:49] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: nice simple tutorial which I have followed. But the Ubuntu computer doesnt even appear on the list of computers in the Win7 explorer window!
[05:49] <Guest1151> how configure lucid machine at ubuntu one?
[05:49] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: sorry I take that back it does appear
[05:49] <owap> hiexpo: ~/.bashrc
[05:49] <hiexpo> owap, yes
[05:49] <Karen_m> how do you figure out the block size of ext4?  My windows machine had 64k blocks and I want the same on ext4 (very large files)
[05:49] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Is the Ubuntu machine and the Win7 machine configured for the SAME WORKGROUP? Cuz that's a help... :)
[05:49] <owap> hiexpo: yes what?
[05:50] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: yes - both WORKGROUP
[05:50] <owap> hiexpo: when i start a xterm i dont have colors when i ls becuase the alias is in .bashrc which is not getting loaded
[05:50] <owap> i see now
[05:50] <owap> nevermind
[05:50] <Mad_HaTTer> thats easy to change yank goto your windows maching and r click computer > properties> workgroup
[05:50] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Sometimes it takes some time for the shares/computers/etc to show up in the network browser...
[05:51] <Mad_HaTTer> (windows network engineer here guilty as charged)
[05:51] <hiexpo> owap, thats wierd cause mine does how did you edit the file to make it have colors
[05:51] <owap> hiexpo: i just copied /etc/skel/* now it works
[05:51] <owap> nevermind i must have used an old .profile
[05:51] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: its prompting for username and password, and I am supplying ubuntu credentials, but its not accepting them
[05:52] <owap> thanks anyway
[05:52] <YankDownUnder> I'm also an MCSE, ergo, I fully understand the shortcomings of SMB networks...ahem...and choose to live by an RHCE instead...
[05:52] <Mad_HaTTer> ahh im MCSA
[05:53] <Mad_HaTTer> amognst others of course
[05:53] <al_nz1> so any ideas
[05:53] <YankDownUnder> Mad_HaTTer, :) ....started my biz in 86...
[05:53] <hiexpo> owap, how do you make it so some other files like .pdf arecolored also when ls
[05:53] <Mad_HaTTer> yeah im starting mine this year
[05:54] <DarkSector> Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me out with a dpkg related issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/586720/
[05:54] <al_nz1> anyone pls help
[05:55] <YankDownUnder> Mad_HaTTer, Blessings - I seriously opposed (and have since 1993) "Product-based Qualifications" => used to be that a network engineer was just exactly that - regardless of OS or "product"...(we're going to get slammed by the channel nazis shortly)
[05:55] <abem>  anyone pls help, I was upgrading from Karmic to Lucid on the internet and I have the following error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found. What do I do?
[05:55] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Patience...the network takes time -> and you MAY want to double/triplel check your /etc/samba/smb.conf for any issues...
[05:55] <ohsix> calling them nazi's is a cool move brah; if you don't understand what it means to stay on topic that's your problem
[05:56] <Karen_m> is there an 'on the fly block modifier' for ext4, to go from 4k up to like 64k?
[05:56] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: its at the point where it prompts for credentials. It just doesnt accept them!
[05:57] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Yeppers...understand that mate...have you restarted the Win box...?
[05:57] <Karen_m> al_nz1,  search to install samba, and there is a graphical editor that you can install.  Install that, and then go ... system->applications->samba, and click on users, change password for that user and done.  I had to do that as well
[05:57] <ohsix> you know you're certified for something when you're telling people to restart ;]
[05:57] <Mad_HaTTer> lol you can always tell a yank when they call you mate
[05:58] <Karen_m> system-config-samba ...  located at:  system->administration->sama
[05:58] <YankDownUnder> Mad_HaTTer, Hehehhehehe....strewth that! :)
[05:58] <Mad_HaTTer> my buddy for the uk mod always says mate
[05:59] <Karen_m> when inside of that, Preferences->samba users->edit user, done
[05:59] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: interesting. It works if, and ONLY if I provide the root credentials
[05:59] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, ...and this is from the Win box? Are you trying to access the Win box, or access the Ubuntu box?
[06:00] <wifi> hola
[06:00] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: now it shows the share folder, but I cant access it - it prompts for credentials again and not even the root ones will let me look at the contents of the shared folder
[06:00] <wifi> alguien por alli
[06:00] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: the share is on the ubuntu
[06:00] <al_nz1> I am trying to connect from Win7
[06:00] <ac7ss> jiltdil, sorry, I was afk for my real job.
[06:00] <ChogyDan> hey, anyone know about the kernel, and "tunables"?   I'm trying to find one
[06:01] <DarkSector> Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me out with a dpkg related issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/586720/
[06:01] <ChogyDan> can I run a find command on them or something?
[06:01] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Um...and you've really looked through the /etc/samba/smb.conf and made sure you've got sharing set to "guest = ok", ya?
[06:02] <lasha> Must read everyone, (laugh guaranteed (if not satisfied call 847 735 5555)) http://blog.linuxtoday.com/blog/2007/10/top-10-reasons.html
[06:02] <ChogyDan> DarkEyes: you should also pastebin /tmp/fmtutil.AinGwwwE
[06:02] <mabusLnx> where is the setting to stop my unit from going to the login screen upon idle
[06:02] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: I dont want to let guests have access - isnt that asecurity risk???
[06:02] <mabusLnx> i just can not find it
[06:03] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Um...how many thousands of machines do you have on your network? :)
[06:03] <ohsix> mabusLnx: power options, it's optional that it locks the screen when it puts it to sleep
[06:03] <mabusLnx> hrm
[06:03] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: 2!
[06:03] <antony> Hi friends!!! I am new to linux, I would like to learn linux from the fundamentals..  Can someone refer good books and any online tutorials.....
[06:03] <mabusLnx> i dn't see that under power management
[06:03] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, I think you answered your own question mate.
[06:03] <Karen_m> the thing that sucks about ubuntu, wifi!  My laptop has a 3945 intel nic, and i even tried a wusb600nv2, and both SUCK.  packet loss ftw
[06:04] <triple-09__> @antony: search for google, dude
[06:04] <mabusLnx> nm fou nd it
[06:04] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: guest access, I would assume allows anyone on the internet access, assuming they got through my router? or cracked the VPN credentials?
[06:04] <mabusLnx> was under screen saver
[06:04] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Um...no. That's only your local net mate...
[06:05] <lasha> Oh God another reason to stop using Ubuntu...pretty soon MS will start making apps for Ubuntu...like a blue-screen-of-death emulator. Just to give you that authentic Windows experience. !!!! :D :D
[06:05] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: really? ok
[06:06] <ohsix> lasha: there already is a bsod "emulator", and there has been for like 15 years in xscreensaver
[06:06] <Mad_HaTTer> lasha go get wine then you can simulate your own bsod
[06:06] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Most of the time - especially with Vista or Win7, credentials don't come through in the same vein as they used to with XP and 2000 and NT...ergo...(and since MS changed how "workgroup networking" works, well, just have to deal with it mate...)
[06:07] <lasha> ohsix: I mean I just read it as a joke on a forum so i decided to make people laugh sorry if I failed :P
[06:07] <Mad_HaTTer> anyone here use tor with xchat?
[06:07] <YankDownUnder> I like wine.
[06:07] <Mad_HaTTer> i prefer beer
[06:07] <YankDownUnder> Just not "wine in a box"...
[06:07] <Jordan_U> !ot | lasha
[06:07] <YankDownUnder> :)
[06:07] <YankDownUnder> Mad_HaTTer, Yes...beer is heaps better...HEAPS...then again, so is Jaeger... :)
[06:07] <lasha> Jordan_U sorry
[06:08] <Mad_HaTTer> tequila beats um all though
[06:08] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: thanks that got me in. Ummm, now to mapping it to a driver letter?
[06:08] <YankDownUnder> Mad_HaTTer, Tequila from Mexico...yeah...I can live with that...
[06:09] <al_nz1> net use s: \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\home_al /user:root
[06:09] <al_nz1> does not work
[06:09] <triple-09__> is there abyone useing back track??4 r2
[06:09] <al_nz1> triple-09__: me
[06:09] <Mad_HaTTer> mascall
[06:09] <triple-09__> hei there : )
[06:09] <ohsix> ... root?
[06:09] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | triple-09__
[06:09] <ohsix> for one, you don't know roots password; and another, nothing is shared with its credentials
[06:10] <rcconf> this is really annyoing
[06:10] <al_nz1> ohsix: of course I know roots password
[06:10] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, When I "hard link" in Windows (any version), what I end up doing is this: (open a cmd.exe window) net use X: \\ip-address-of-machine\sharename => and it remembers the connection upon reboot - as well, I do the same with a batch-file/script
[06:10] <ohsix> al_nz1: and the second point
[06:10] <rcconf> my problem is this
[06:10] <rcconf> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/135873
[06:11] <al_nz1> ohsix: nothign seems to be working with my user credentials either!
[06:11] <triple-09__> which is correct BSD is more harder than any linux distro?
[06:11] <rcconf> cannot install pulseaudio without dev PPA
[06:11] <rcconf> wtf
[06:11] <rcconf> pulseaudio:
[06:11] <rcconf>   Depends: libpulse0 (=1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1) but 1:0.9.22-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[06:11] <rcconf> really bad
[06:11] <al_nz1> YankDownUnder: net use X: \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\share then prompts for credentials!
[06:11] <Jordan_U> triple-09__: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, please take offtopic discussion elsewhere.
[06:11] <ohsix> so break it, why do you have held packages
[06:12] <triple-09__> sorry dude,..
[06:12] <Mad_HaTTer> yeah i always use the boot.ini option and run a batch on startup
[06:12] <triple-09__> my bad
[06:12] <YankDownUnder> al_nz1, Um...I'll assume you've changed yer bits and bobs in yer smb.conf, ay?
[06:12] <rcconf> ohsix: what fo u mean
[06:12] <spirals> come to #ubuntu-offtopic, we'll debate the merits of bsd with you
[06:12] <al_nz1> only checked to make sure the workgroup is the same - should anything else be changed?
[06:12] <Mad_HaTTer> makes life easy so i dont have to do anything
[06:13] <YankDownUnder> If ya don't have to do anything (get updates, do defrags, run virus checks/malware checks/backdoor checks/rootkit checks/registry checks) then how do you know it's working? :)
[06:14] <Mad_HaTTer> pretty much all my machines are dedicated to specific tasks though one for programming one for client diag a couple of servers a apache and a free for all
[06:15] <Mad_HaTTer> if it wasnt working id know
[06:15] <Mad_HaTTer> i keep my event viewer clear
[06:16] <YankDownUnder> Mad_HaTTer, Hmm...might have to think about de-commisioning one of my servers here...think it's doing way too much (media streaming, file services, mail server, MySQL + database, print server, domain/DNS services)
[06:16] <rcconf> al_nz1: if you dont know your ubuntu password forget i.t
[06:16] <mazzatesta> join
[06:16] <Mad_HaTTer> yeah i wouldnt sAY take it down
[06:16] <rcconf> al_nz1: arent you tring to connect from win7 to ubuntu shared folder?
[06:16] <rcconf> trying
[06:17] <rcconf> if it's the contrary is win7 fault
[06:17] <IdleOne> YankDownUnder and Mad_HaTTer can you two please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic or PM so that we can focus on Ubuntu support in here
[06:17] <Mad_HaTTer> find out what its doing thre most of then put up another one to take over that task and share the load
[06:17] <rcconf> IdleOne: what is the command to purge completetly a PPA
[06:17] <ohsix> ppa-purge
[06:18] <YankDownUnder> Mad_HaTTer, Told ya we'd get busted... :)
[06:18] <ohsix> though it likely wont work right with the held packages either
[06:18] <IdleOne> rcconf: umm purge-apt-repository, you will need to install it first
[06:18] <arazilla> Anyone have an issue with ubuntu netbook remix and the battery all of a sudden not even being listed as a peaice of harware?
[06:18] <rcconf> IdleOne: which package?

[06:23] <IdleOne> rcconf: glad I was able to help. please keep it family friendly :)
[06:23] <coz_> IdleOne,  it will list packages in a ppa before you even install the ppa
[06:24] <ohsix> so will the page you find them on
[06:24] <arazilla> Is there a command to run a diagnostic on battery hardware in ubuntu?
[06:24] <ohsix> arazilla: theres fwts, but theres nothign to really diagnose; you should see battery messages in dmesg, did you disable acpi?
[06:25] <DarkSector> Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me out with a dpkg related issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/586720/
[06:26] <Mad_HaTTer> idleone have you ever been to pinouts.ru ?
[06:26] <arazilla> ohsix: i'm completly new to *nix OS so bare with me, all i know is sometimes the battery just dissappears off my hardware listings.
[06:26] <eamon> http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/local/hillsborough/zoo-volunteer-arrested-03222011#
[06:26] <IdleOne> Mad_HaTTer: no.
[06:27] <Mad_HaTTer> mcse i think youd like it
[06:27] <notnukeslion> Hello, i'm in a bit of a bind, i need to do a memory test and i only have an ubuntu 10.10 livecd, it seems to boot straight to the desktop instead of giving a choice to memtest. is there a button to press to make it memtest on boot?
[06:27] <YankDownUnder> Pinouts.ru is a great tool to keep at hand...
[06:27] <Arc> i have a ubuntu 10.10 system with r600 graphics.  a recent package upgrade said to reboot, and when I did it cant start X
[06:27] <Arc> the X log says "no screens found"
[06:28] <IdleOne> Mad_HaTTer: how is that Ubuntu support related?
[06:28] <Arc> is there a workaround to get back into graphics so I can connect to the network and figure out what happened?
[06:28] <ouyes> hi all, when I boot into ubuntu, there is a warning, said your battery may be broken or old
[06:28] <Arc> ouyes: thats normal.
[06:28] <arazilla> ohsix: i've checked the hardware side, and noting is amiss, it just vanishes off the hardware listing
[06:28] <ouyes> Arc, what is wrong?
[06:29] <ac7ss> Mad_HaTTer, Thanks, I can use that reference
[06:29] <Mad_HaTTer> idleone ubuntu is on a computer pinouts.ru helps with building beast computers that linux is perfectly suited for
[06:29] <Arc> ouyes: your batter isnt running at full capacity.  its not that uncommon.  if the battery life doesnt effect you then ignore it
[06:29] <ouyes> is there anyone use thinkpad x201 running ubuntu ?
[06:29] <ohsix> arazilla: i don't know what hardware listing you're looking at, but theres only one place to really look, and that's if acpi sees it at boot
[06:30] <ceo> am have install phpmyadmin, and am forget the user name and password
[06:30] <ouyes> Arc, in windows, it is 100%charged but in ubuntu it said 35%
[06:30] <ohsix> ouyes: theres also a battery blacklist for batteries that have had recalls
[06:30] <ohsix> ouyes: the sony and dell batteries that have caused fires, for example
[06:30] <lasha> guys anyone knows how to get BSOD screensaver ?
[06:31] <ohsix> ouyes: if ubuntu thinks theres 35%, discharge it completely, then check the capacity after a full recharge
[06:31] <ceo> am have install phpmyadmin on ubuntu 10.10, and am forget the password, and am remove the phpmyadmin and still used password need you ide
[06:31] <lasha> screen saver section should have an online download option like firefox does for addons and stuff :P thats for later versions hopefully
[06:31] <DaPenguin> lasha, gnome-look.org might have it
[06:32] <arazilla> ohsix: alrigh, thanks. I'll go google that, see what i can find. Thanks for the information
[06:32] <Mad_HaTTer> idleone do you not consider hardware to be os related?
[06:32] <red2kic> ouyes: How old is the laptop?
[06:32] <ohsix> Mad_HaTTer: meta discussion is also offtopic
[06:33] <ouyes> red2kic, one year old
[06:33] <IdleOne> Mad_HaTTer: yes, but hardware support is best kept in #hardware.
[06:34] <Mad_HaTTer> really i didnt even think to look for a hardware channel
[06:34] <red2kic> ouyes: Meh. You leave it plugged all times? I think it's a rule that nobody know... That you should let it drain down at least 3 times per month. Once a week or something like that. I remember installing old laptop. Windows say 100% but Ubuntu was pretty accurate -- Bad battery.
[06:34] <ohsix> both operating systems keep a battery history too; if you haven't been regularly draining it in windows it thinks the battery is unchanged
[06:35] <Mad_HaTTer> idleone you had my hopes up :(
[06:35] <Mad_HaTTer> #hardware is invite only
[06:35] <ohsix> per channel naming policy on freenode, it'd be ##hardware
[06:35] <ouyes> red2kic, yes I think my battery was broken as ubuntu said. poor laptop just one year
[06:36] <ceo> please,how remove permanant phpmyadmin, and am need recovery my password, or have the good ide
[06:36] <Mad_HaTTer> what is this need to be identified with services does that mean i need to register?
[06:36] <red2kic> ouyes: Perhaps. Nothing we can do about it. :)
[06:37] <ohsix> is that a ubuntu question
[06:37] <ohsix> ouyes: paste the output of upower -d to paste.ubuntu.com
[06:37] <ouyes> red2kic, ohsix ,Arc, thanks any way
[06:38] <juzzy_> how can i copy from putty on a windows box to my ubuntu box. i can login fine, but what is the cp command?
[06:38] <Mad_HaTTer> no its a freenode question so nm i guess
[06:38] <juzzy_> (from desktop to desktop)?
[06:38] <ohsix> juzzy_: it's a separate tool, scp
[06:38] <ohsix> juzzy_: or sftp
[06:40] <juzzy_> ohsix, i tried scp, but when in putty(logged into my ubuntu box) i am unable to access my windows box desktop for the scp?

[06:41] <taran> my screen atarted appearing bluish and red color looks blue.I had uninstalled a few files I dont know which.Kindly help
[06:42] <ohsix> nothingspecial: i dunno if it's in the boot menu anymore, but you can just hit a key when you see the logo at the bottom of the keyboard, it'll display the boot menu
[06:42] <ssfdre38> hey whatis the ubuntu add user command?
[06:42] <IdleOne> !adduser
[06:43] <pfifo> hey fellas
[06:43] <Kubu> hi
[06:46] <pfifo> why are there a dozen different emacs packages?
[06:47] <littlebearz1> different versions?
[06:47] <pfifo> yes
[06:47] <ohsix> emacs is a complicated operating system ;]
[06:47] <littlebearz1> (pfifo): um. people like alot of packages
[06:48] <littlebearz1> (pfifo): seriously, it's like having backup incase the newer version doesn't work
[06:48] <DaPenguin> i just think it's funny a console editor has more functionality than pretty much any modern office suite :)
[06:48] <pfifo> which one should I use to learn emacs?
[06:49] <Assumer> Hey all, I've had issues with installing nvidia drivers for my gts 450, im on a fresh install now. Anybody with experience want to tell me what to install?
[06:49] <pfifo> I installed 'emacs23'
[06:49] <Jipstah> What does '--x--xrwx' mean in directory listing?
[06:50] <DaPenguin> Jipstah, perms for the file
[06:51] <Assumer> Anyone have experience with proprietary drivers(or even the new nouveau ones) for gts 450? Last few times I've tried have resulted in no graphical login
[06:51] <Jipstah> Could specify somehow? It's for an assigment.
[06:51] <Interwebs> Hi, does anyone know of a way with apt-get or aptitude to purge/remove all packages that are from a particular repository?
[06:51] <DaPenguin> Jipstah, that particular string means the file is executable by all users and group users, and readable, writeable, and executible by the owner
[06:51] <pfifo> Assumer, try the latest drivers from nvidia, ubuntus might not support that new of a chip.
[06:51] <Guest41641> logan
[06:52] <Logan_> yes?
[06:52] <Guest41641> yes
[06:52] <Assumer> pfifo: I've tried the ones from their site once before, I can do so again I suppose.
[06:52] <ohsix> Interwebs: like -updates? ppa-purge will do ppa's; it's manual and ugly to get stuff to downgrade if you remove the extra repos (-update & -proposed and the like)
[06:53] <Jipstah> Thanks. Is there "parts" in the string that mean it's only readable/writeable or executible?
[06:53] <ohsix> Jipstah: you can look at the manual for chmod, it explains all this
[06:53] <pfifo> Assumer, I dont recommend noeavu
[06:53]  * ac7ss will open a shell to run vi before using Kate or Gedit.
[06:53] <ohsix> Assumer: jockey didn't offer top install drivers for you?
[06:53] <Guest41641> my name is Logan too
[06:54] <Logan_> oh
[06:54] <Assumer> ohsix: oh it offers, But it's being sneaky and is offering to break my system
[06:54] <ohsix> Assumer: try system -> administration -> additional drivers
[06:54] <ohsix> sounds like a bug then
[06:54] <Assumer> pfifo: I'm going to attempt using a ppa for newer drivers I've found, running out of options so guess its worth a try, thanks for the help
[06:55] <taran> my screen shows red color as blue.What do i do?
[06:55] <ohsix> Assumer: theres an x-swat ppa that has updated drivers
[06:55] <Assumer> ohsix: that's hte one I've found
[06:55] <DaPenguin> taran, buy a new monitor?
[06:55] <ohsix> taran: check that the green pin isn't bent on your vga connector
[06:55] <aaron_c> hi, is there anyone who is familiar with ubuntu's sbackup package?  i'm trying to use it to restore parts of my filesystem, and it appears to be stuck.  i started a task that should restore about 40GB of files, and it's been going on for a few hours now.
[06:56] <taran> ohsix: I did nothing with PC except connecting a slave hard disk last week since that day it happened
[06:56] <Guest41641> This here first
[06:56] <pfifo> why are there a dozen different emacs packages?
[06:57] <ohsix> pfifo: why is water wet/
[06:58] <pfifo> ohsix, van der wals force?
[06:58] <MadHaTTer_222> ohsix is that a ubuntu question?
[06:58] <ohsix> MadHaTTer_222: trolling is offtopic on freenode
[06:58] <DaPenguin> well, he's asking about the ubuntu repos, so i'd say it qualifies
[06:58] <ohsix> he's asking about the debian repos
[06:59] <ohsix> if theres more than one version, that's useful to someone; that's about the end of it
[06:59] <DaPenguin> well, text mode emacs is on 23 i believe, xemacs uses 21, so that's probably a start right there
[06:59] <ohsix> plus if you know anything about emacs, new versions are few and far between, and they break stuff; and addons wont work with every version. people are fine with older versions, or multiple versions
[07:00] <ohsix> but that's all speculation, the question is silly, ask the maintainers of those packages; they are not here
[07:00] <Guest41641> Popularity is not high as
[07:03] <Sleaker> I need some help with a bash script.  If I want to use an argument on a command, but conditionally (based on other variables in the script) how would I do that?
[07:03] <pfifo> Im asking specifically about the package's for 10.10, their all 23.0, whats the differences? and if you dont actually USE emacs, please spare me your opinion.
[07:03] <Sleaker> I can't do like var="--arg" that just spits out an error
[07:04] <ohsix> pfifo: look at the package descriptions if you want to know what they are
[07:04] <Kartagis> Sleaker, #bash would be more useful
[07:04] <Sleaker> thanks Kart
[07:05] <ohsix> theres only 4 emacs packages, and all the descriptions are enlightening
[07:05] <ohsix> the rest are addons/support for their respective versions
[07:05] <Kartagis> np
[07:07] <taran> why does red color appear blue on my screen?What should I do?
[07:08] <DaPenguin> just grab the emacs meta, will install what you need
[07:08] <ohsix> forsooth
[07:09] <pfifo> taran, most likely a hardware problem, can you test it on another machine?
[07:09] <taran> pfifo: last week I nhad connected a slave hard disk since that day this trouble happened
[07:10] <taran> pfifo: how do i correct ahrdware problem?
[07:10] <pfifo> taran, new hardware
[07:11] <ohsix> generally, classifying something as a hardware problem, say; instead of a software problem, is that's the part that needs replacement/changing
[07:11] <taran> pfifo: may be some pin disconnected
[07:11] <DaPenguin> taran, or a soldering iron and a lot of patience :P
[07:11] <taran> DaPenguin: but what should be soldered? is it easy to find this fault
[07:11] <pfifo> taran, start by  removing that drive
[07:12] <aaron_c> hi, is there anyone who is familiar with simple backup restore on ubuntu? i'm trying to restore a 40GB filesystem, and it's been going on for 3 hours now.  not sure if it's ever going to finish.
[07:13] <ray24> Anyone know how to install ubuntu on a pipboy?
[07:13] <Kubu> yes
[07:14] <pfifo> it comes pre-installed
[07:14] <ohsix> aaron_c: any general problem with that sort of thing can be looked in on with strace, strace -p in fact, it'll show the system calls it's making, so you can see if it's making progress
[07:17] <JoeCoolDesk> How do I get my files off of my machine to a windows machine over the network?
[07:17] <pfifo> JoeCoolDesk, cifs is suitable
[07:17] <shcherbak> JoeCoolDesk: ftp server? netcat? scp?
[07:18] <lament> scp is nice
[07:18] <JoeCoolDesk> I have multiple partitions
[07:21] <Jordan_U> abem: Follow this guide to re-install grub from a LiveCD: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide then when you're booted into Ubuntu again run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and select all drives but *no* partitions when prompted for install devices.
[07:23] <JoeCoolDesk> Heard rsync is best
[07:24] <apc> I accidentally deleted /etc/grub.d/00_header, is there a way to find out which package contains it?
[07:24] <Jordan_U> apc: dpkg -S /etc/grub.d/00_header
[07:24] <ohsix> theres no best; it's all case by case, in your case, with windows involved you might have character set problems if any of the filenames contain extended characters
[07:25] <apc> thanks, Jordan_U
[07:25] <Jordan_U> apc: You're welcome.
[07:25] <Stava> I cant connect to a wireless network with wpa2 aes, whats up with that?
[07:27] <ohsix> Stava: who knows, there are logs for network-manager in /var/log
[07:27] <JoeCoolDesk> How do I SSH to a LiveCD?
[07:27] <Stava> ohsix, how do i update the list of available networks? can i list/search for them using the command line?
[07:28] <ohsix> JoeCoolDesk: you'd need to install openssh-server in the livecd; and set a password for "ubuntu", the livecd account, or add another
[07:28] <ceo> please help me am have install phpmyadmin, am forget password, am need remove it and all database of phpmyadmin how i do?
[07:28] <ceo> ikonia, please help me am have install phpmyadmin, am forget password, am need remove it and all database of phpmyadmin how i do?
[07:28] <ohsix> Stava: that's done automatically, but you can ask network-manager for a text version with nm-tool
[07:28] <Freeway92> apt-get remove Package
[07:29] <ssfdre38> how can i make a user a sudo user on a server?
[07:29] <Kimmen> Stava: you can list available networks in cli by: iwlist <interface>
[07:30] <ohsix> ssfdre38: add them to the admin group
[07:30] <Stava> Kimmen, thanks
[07:31] <ohsix> iwlist uses the old ioctls, and devices don't keep lists of that stuff anymore if they're mac80211 drivers
[07:31] <Stava> Kimmen, could it be that my computer setup dont support channel 14 for wireless networks? cause when i do "iwlist wlan0 channel" it'll only list 13 channels
[07:31] <Stava> and my wireless is on channel 14
[07:31] <ohsix> yes
[07:31] <ohsix> that's controlled by the regulatory mechanism
[07:31] <Stava> should i change something on my computer or router?
[07:32] <ohsix> on the router
[07:32] <Stava> any channel between 1 and 13 will do?
[07:32] <ohsix> try "iw reg get" to list the current regulatory policy
[07:33] <Stava> NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS, im not sure i understand this, but i should pick a channel on which PASSIVE-SCAN is enabled?
[07:34] <ohsix> those are just restrictions for a band of frequencies, y ou can ignore them; passive scan just means it listens for beacons instead of sending interrogations for known (by the os) aps
[07:34] <ohsix> ofdm is an encoding type, and ibss is ad-hoc networking
[07:35] <Stava> alright
[07:35] <abem> can anyone plsss help: I have upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and I am get the error: symbol 'grub_puts' not found. Its for the fourth time now asking the same question
[07:35] <Stava> i'll try to change to channel 2, thanks for your help
[07:35] <ohsix> no problem
[07:35] <ohsix> you might want to do a site survey
[07:35] <ohsix> there are really only 4 usable channels in the US and most regulatory domains, 2 is one of those that overlaps with channel 1
[07:35] <Stava> and pick a channel which is not being used?
[07:36] <Stava> site survey will show one other network on channel 6
[07:36] <ohsix> pick one of the primary channels with no overlap, and failing that (say, too many aps in the area) pick the least used of the primary, then if that's still not workable, pick one of the off channel numbers
[07:36] <Stava> which are primary?
[07:36] <ohsix> sec
[07:36] <ohsix> it's 1, 6, 11 and one more
[07:37] <ohsix> yea, 1 6 11 14; but 14 is usally unusuable
[07:37] <ohsix> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/NonOverlappingChannels2.4GHzWLAN-en.svg
[07:37] <Stava> alright
[07:37] <Stava> i'll go with 1 then
[07:37] <pfifo> eu only
[07:37] <fenghuo> 你好
[07:37] <leling> 好阿
[07:37] <Stava> thanks a lot
[07:38] <KB1JWQ> !cn
[07:38] <ohsix> g's 20mhz channels has 1, 5, 9, 13; that diagram shows it all though
[07:38] <fenghuo> 你是谁？
[07:38] <leling> 这里不让打汉字
[07:38] <leling> 去ubuntu-cn吧
[07:38] <leling> do you know?
[07:38] <fenghuo> 好的
[07:38] <fenghuo> OK
[07:39] <Stava> ehm, network manager crashed :o
[07:40] <Stava> or the notification icon disappeared
[07:40] <Hemebond> What does Ubuntu use to handle the local system mail (/var/mail/*)?
[07:42] <ohsix> Stava: that's nm-applet
[07:42] <ohsix> Stava: you can killall gnome-panel or just start nm-applet again with alt+f2
[07:42] <celthunder> Hemebond, whatever you installed? postfix/sendmail and courier/dovecot
[07:42] <Stava> ohsix, thanks
[07:42] <celthunder> are pretty common could be qmail or a few other though
[07:44] <Hemebond> celthunder: Oh, I thought there might have been a default since the local mail seems to work without installing anything.
[07:45] <siloxid> how do I make my keychain load automatically on 10.10?  every time I log in it nags me for a keychain password so it can turn on my wireless connection
[07:45] <rww> Hemebond: as far as I'm aware, there isn't a default and it doesn't work without installing anything :\
[07:45] <celthunder> Hemebond, so check netstat at what's listening on 25
[07:45] <Stava> ohsix, I have one last question if you dont mind. which security mode is preferred? wpa2 personal + aes? (I also have something called wpa2 personal mixed)
[07:45] <celthunder> or 110/465/997
[07:45] <celthunder> er 995?
[07:46] <appi_uppi> what is the command to delete the .war file that is refered by JBOSS server?
[07:46] <Jordan_U> abem: Did you see my previous answer?
[07:46] <celthunder> rm -rf ?
[07:46] <Hemebond> Apparently exim might be the default.
[07:46] <Hemebond> (default MTA)
[07:47] <ohsix> Stava: aes, personal just means it's a pre shared key instead of using 802.1x stuff for passwords
[07:47] <Stava> ohsix, would tkip+aes be less secure than aes?
[07:48] <ohsix> yes
[07:48] <rww> Hemebond: exim is on Debian. Ubuntu tends to prefer postfix. Neither is installed in Ubuntu by default.
[07:48] <ohsix> ccmp is what you want if you can get it
[07:48] <hiexpo> wep  :)
[07:48] <Hemebond> rww: Hmm, I guess mdadm installs Postfix itself then.
[07:49] <ohsix> but it's nothing like wep vs. wpa, tkip can let people inject frames by abusing qos; which can be dangerous, but nothing like wep
[07:49] <Stava> ohsix, I also have a choice between "WPA Personal" and "WPA Personal Mixed" :o
[07:49] <ohsix> Stava: that probably allows tkip/aes and ccmp/aes clients
[07:50] <Stava> alright, thats a good thing then
[07:50] <ohsix> that is, "mixed" allows both
[07:50] <ohsix> you might as well use the not mixed one, because if tkip clients are allowed the same attack can happen
[07:50] <Stava> oh
[07:56] <Emanon> I need help setting up a dual boot system with encryption via truecrypt on vista and (of course) luks on ubuntu. Is there anything I should know?
[07:56] <ohsix> eugh
[07:57] <ohsix> use freeofte on the windows side instead of truecrypt, it'll mount luks volumes
[07:57] <Emanon> But can it do full disk encryption with pre-boot authentication ohsix?
[07:57] <ohsix> (if the volume is already an accessible format in windows)
[07:57] <ohsix> no
[07:57] <Emanon> Then thank you but no thank you.
[07:57] <ohsix> if that's something you like, you could like; not have a computer, it's more secuire
[07:58] <ohsix> if there was a spectrum of silly, and you wanted to be the most secure, it's the most obvious answer
[07:59] <Emanon> Well, both ubuntu (via the alternate disk) and windows via truecrypt can do it, I just wanted some help getting them working together
[07:59] <red2kic> Emanon: You have physical encryption hard drives?
[07:59] <red2kic> hardware encryption*
[07:59] <ohsix> you know what's awesome about encrypting everything? you might as well not, because it's about segregation of information, and just throwing an "everything is encrypted" just side steps the issue
[08:00] <Emanon> red2kic: no was going to use LUKS and Truecrypt.
[08:00] <ohsix> you weren't, because you can't
[08:00] <ohsix> not as you wish too, anyways
[08:01] <Emanon> Thank you ohsix for being no help whatsoever as well as condescending. This is why I come to #ubuntu; for your shrill and useless monologues.
[08:01] <ohsix> you can prepare yourself for such an onslaught by knowing anything about what you're using
[08:01] <ohsix> instead of just their names
[08:02] <Emanon> Thus my initial question. I choose to use these technologies and wanted to know how best, if at all, they could be used together.
[08:02] <ohsix> i misspoke, you know of some of the marketing for truecrypt
[08:02] <ohsix> use luks.
[08:02] <Emanon> LUKS doesn't work on windows.
[08:02] <ohsix> it does
[08:03] <Emanon> LUKS volumes can be accessed FROM windows.
[08:03] <ohsix> freeofte will let you have an encrypted volume to access from either side, segregate your important encryptables into the bin
[08:03] <Emanon> But LUKS cannot be used to facilitate full disk encryption FOR windows.
[08:03] <Emanon> I DON'T WANT SECURE CONTAINERS. I WANT FULL DISK ENCRYPTION. HOW HARD IS THIS TO UNDERSTAND.
[08:03] <ohsix> is this something you desire with such zeal
[08:04] <ohsix> i understand, that doesn't make it not stupid
[08:04] <gordonjcp> full disk encryption is pretty stupid
[08:04] <ohsix> you propose to dip your toe into the world of keep my stuff encrypted, and encrypting all your disk is PRETTY AWESOME LOL
[08:05] <ohsix> if you have anything that you actually want to keep secure, it's likely less than 100megs, and you would want to combine it with physical security
[08:05] <jiltdil> how to telnet to my virtual machine OS from my host
[08:05] <ohsix> not just have it sitting in your computer which could be easily lost or seized, and you compelled to provide information to access your secure area
[08:05] <jiltdil> through it i want to see my Apache version
[08:06] <ohsix> jiltdil: telnet is pretty old, and doesn't offer encrypted authentication; install openssh-server in the virtual machine and access it with ssh
[08:06] <jiltdil> ok
[08:06] <gordonjcp> jiltdil: are you trying to telnet to port 80?
[08:06] <jiltdil> yes
[08:06] <TheOriginalDude_> Is it possible to build for 64-bit systems under 32-bit?
[08:06] <ohsix> jiltdil: if you want to see your apache version, use apt-cache policy apache2
[08:07] <ohsix> TheOriginalDude_: yes, as it is possible to build for even less likely architecture pairs
[08:07] <TheOriginalDude_> so what are the libs i need to get?
[08:08] <Emanon> Well, this was useless, thank you for being supremely annoying while nor even pretending to offer useful data ohsix. I hope you rot. Goodbye.
[08:08] <TheOriginalDude_> can't get a sample to compile for 64 bit
[08:08] <ohsix> depends on what you need to build
[08:08] <TheOriginalDude_> general IO
[08:08] <iceroot> TheOriginalDude_: you can croswscompile but its always better to build on a real amd64 system
[08:08] <TheOriginalDude_> building a cgi app
[08:09] <jiltdil> actually i hide the Apache version number and want to test if it is hidden so i want to connect to it with my host and want tocheck using telnet any idea?
 so intel won't do ? :)
[08:09] <iceroot> TheOriginalDude_: amd64 has nothing to do with amd or intel
[08:10] <iceroot> jiltdil: what about using a browser?
[08:10] <TheOriginalDude_> how do i get the sadard libs for c and c++ for 64-bit in ubuntu?
[08:10] <ohsix> jiltdil: you mean you want to connect to the web server to see if the version is displayed? heh, nmap has a version scanner; you can also use a web browser, just go to a page that doesn't exist. if there aren't custom error pages, it will show this information
[08:10] <jiltdil> ohsix:thanx
[08:11] <jiltdil> iceroot: please explain what do you want to say ?
[08:11] <iceroot> jiltdil: ?? use a browser instead of telnet
[08:12] <jiltdil> iceroot: how to do that
[08:12] <iceroot> jiltdil: you ask how to use a browser?
[08:12] <ohsix> jiltdil: go to a page that doesn't exist, as i've said
[08:12] <jiltdil> ok
[08:12] <jiltdil> iceroot:oh sorry i misunderstood
[08:13] <iceroot> jiltdil: also you can write a phpinfo() file. it shoul always show the browser-version
[08:13] <jiltdil> ok
[08:13] <jiltdil> iceroot:ohsix:thanx guys
[08:14] <TheOriginalDude_> anyone knows how to get the 64-bit libs under 32 bit ?
[08:14] <ohsix> jiltdil: try nmap -sV -p 80 host
[08:14] <jiltdil> ok
[08:14] <gaelfx> TheOriginalDude_: I don't think that's possible, and at the very least a bad idea
[08:15] <Aginor> TheOriginalDude_, you cross compile them?
[08:15] <hiexpo> TheOriginalDude_, you cant use 64 on 32 but you can use 32 on 64
[08:16] <ohsix> an emulator saves the day
[08:16] <TheOriginalDude_> yeah my hosting service want's just 64-bit but i'm under 32-bit
[08:16] <iceroot> ohsix: have fun emulation amd64 on i386
[08:16] <TheOriginalDude_> thought it might be possible
[08:16] <iceroot> TheOriginalDude_: amd64 can run 32bit
[08:17] <iceroot> TheOriginalDude_: 32 bit cant run amd64
[08:17] <ohsix> iceroot: i do
[08:17] <TheOriginalDude_> i know but they blocked my modules
[08:17] <gaelfx> TheOriginalDude_: it *might* be possible with VM, but even if it does work, it won't work well
[08:17] <Elephantman> hi :) the internal mic of my Dell Latitude E6510 doesn't work. Seems related to this issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504774 . But the solution (adding options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14 at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf) doesn't work for me. At a guess, it's not the right model written in there, how could I find out what to put in that model value ?
[08:17] <TheOriginalDude_> because of a supposed "security flaw" when running 32 bit under 64 bit
[08:18] <gaelfx> Elephantman: open termial, type "lspci" without quotes, should tell you your sound card
[08:19] <ohsix> Elephantman: theres no right thing to put there, that's the thing; and doing that isn't a fix persay, but a workaround. people that have that work need to report bugs to alsa so they can be fixed. further, your problem might already be fixed in the module backports, you should try them (be sure to remove your modifications before you do)
[08:19] <jiltdil> is there any way to hide to see Apache version number if somebody is using nmap?
[08:19] <spacenavi> my screen binks when I play some videos. I uninstalled all dvd and video players and then reinstalled vlc but the whole computer screen keeps blinking. How do i configure my monitor so it's not struggleing to keep up with big videos.
[08:19] <TheOriginalDude_> sounds like the best option is just to switch to 64 bit platform
[08:19] <ohsix> TheOriginalDude_: it is
[08:19] <gaelfx> TheOriginalDude_: as long as your hardware permits it, that certainly would be the best way to do it
[08:20] <freakynl> Hi, I recall there once was an option to run the live version from RAM. I however do not see such an option on 10.10, has it been removed?
[08:20] <ohsix> TheOriginalDude_: but a "64bit system" can also be a chroot and qemu-system-x86_64 ;]
[08:20] <Elephantman> gaelfx: aint any use really - Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio
 can you explain what you mean?
[08:20] <gaelfx> freakynl: are you sure you're not thinking of the memtest on the livecd/usb?
[08:21] <Elephantman> ohsix: hmm, ok I'll look into that
[08:21] <freakynl> gaelfx: yea I'm sure :)
[08:21] <freakynl> gaelfx: see here for example for a fix for very old release http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-toram-how-to-make-ubuntu-boot-to-ram/
[08:21] <gaelfx> Elephantman: well, you might try finding out any information you can about how to get that particular chip to work rather than the whole laptop thing
[08:21] <jiltdil> Also how to hide Apache version number and OS name in ubuntu?
[08:21] <gaelfx> freakynl: I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm definitely intrigued :D
[08:22] <freakynl> gaelfx: with the to ram option it was possible to load the entire CD into RAM, so you could then remove the CD. It's much faster in RAM :)
[08:22] <spacenavi> help my screen blinks when I play videos with vlc. I got an old computer with 7hundred something ram.
[08:23] <ceo> please, am need you help, for remove phpmyadmin from my ubuntu, couses that protact password, and am forget it. can i
[08:23] <ceo> please, am need you help, for remove phpmyadmin from my ubuntu, couses that protact password, and am forget it. can i
[08:23] <gaelfx> freakynl: yeah, I'm starting to get the picture, it sounds pretty sweet, is there any reason that you can't use that guide with a more current version of Live?
[08:24] <ceo> please, am need you help, for remove phpmyadmin from my ubuntu, couses that protact password, and am forget it. can i
[08:24] <gaelfx> ceo: open Synaptic Package Manager, search for 'phpmyadmi' and purge the package
[08:24] <Elephantman> ohsix: would the correct backport be linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic or linux-backports-modules-input-maverick-generic ?
[08:24] <ceo> am have do it, and if am install back, am can't uses my new password
[08:24] <gaelfx> freakynl: the only caveat there seems to be the lack of support for casper
[08:25] <ohsix> Elephantman: the alsa ones
[08:25] <gaelfx> ceo: did you PURGE or UNINSTALL?
[08:25] <ceo> gaelfx, am have do you ide, for solve my proble, and if i install back am can't used my pssword
[08:25] <Elephantman> ohsix: ok thanks, I'll try that
[08:25] <ohsix> Elephantman: needs a reboot after installation
[08:25] <ceo> purge or install mean ? gaelfx
[08:25] <Elephantman> ohsix: sure
[08:25] <ceo> can you give me some command step
[08:25] <Elephantman> brb
[08:26] <ceo> gaelfx, can you give me some command step for do that.
[08:26] <gaelfx> ceo: uninstall leaves the configuration files, purge removes them along with the package, so uninstalling would keep the password, purging should get rid of it
[08:26] <freakynl> gaelfx: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM toram kernel option might work, going to test it, see the comments/lucid updates section
[08:26] <ceo> gaelfx, what command for purge removes phpmyadmin
[08:27] <ceo> am have used "sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin <that bad ide for sovle problem>
[08:27] <ceo> gaelfx, am find some tutor form ubuntu forum, <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=125610>
[08:28] <DaPenguin> ceo try sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin
[08:28] <gaelfx> ceo: do you know where 'Synaptic Package Manager' is?
[08:28] <gaelfx> ceo: or what DaPenguin said :P
[08:30] <ceo> oke DaPenguin am will try you ide, for remove myphpmyadmin, but am need ask, what the effect of purge command
[08:30] <gaelfx> hey, is there any way to make a liveusb that has NVidia drivers installed and WITHOUT persistence?
[08:30] <gaelfx> ceo: purge uninstalls and removes configuration files
[08:30] <DaPenguin> ceo removes the package and all associated configurations. basically acts like it was never installed
[08:31] <bigMike> Hi, how do i reset the root password to nothing, essentially before I *did* set a pass for it (against all recommendations stating not to do so) ?
[08:31] <ceo> and what deferent with sudo apt-get autoremove command
[08:31] <freakynl> gaelfx: FYI, it works :), I entered toram in the boot options (in the grub boot line just before the 'splash --') and now I see
[08:31] <gaelfx> ceo: autoremove removes any packages that are no longer needed
[08:32] <freakynl> gaelfx: /dev/shm on /cdrom type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=746468k)
[08:32] <quiescens> ceo: autoremove removes packages that were installed as a dependancy, but where the package that originally depended on them is no longer installed
[08:32] <gaelfx> freakynl: dude, that's awesome, and I can't wait to try it! thanks for the tip
[08:32] <freakynl> gaelfx: I have removed the CD (which had a icon show up on the desktop as mounted cd, i don't recall seeing that when booting from cd normally) and can still start package manager etc after removing the CD :) (hadn't started it before, so wasn't cached)
[08:33] <gaelfx> freakynl: do you know of any way to get nvidia drivers working on the live version?
[08:33] <ceo> gaelfx, if you say that, that mean, am can used sudo apt-get autoclean ?
[08:33] <ceo> are that you mean.
[08:34] <freakynl> gaelfx: no soz, it will involve restarting X to load the new drivers and I think the live version shuts down when X stops
[08:34] <freakynl> gaelfx: I don't use ubuntu a whole lot tho' :)
[08:34] <PSiLO23> Could anyone tell me how i can a 'ls' to see just the dirs that are in the current dir that i am in ? i'm in a folder with tons of files and directories and i just want to list the directories.
[08:34] <jiltdil> How to hide Apache version number in ubuntu?
[08:34] <ceo> hai DaPenguin and gaelfx  have proble E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[08:34] <ceo> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[08:34] <ceo>  after am used apt-get purge phpmyadmin
[08:35] <ohsix> ceo: you have another package manager open, close it first
[08:35] <freakynl> jiltdil: i'd presume like in any other install, change the variable in the apache config
[08:35] <DaPenguin> ceo, do you have another package manager open?
[08:35] <ceo> ohsix am not open anypackeg
[08:35] <|RicharD|> hello i had a problem with a ntfs partition with ubuntu 10.10
[08:35] <|RicharD|> i can't access to files(but i can write)
[08:35] <ceo> no, am not open another package manager am just oopen xcaht for chat with all brotha ubuntu support
[08:35] <|RicharD|> and i not know how set 777
[08:36] <|RicharD|> ls -l say: drwx------ 1 riccardo riccardo 4096 2011-03-29 09:24 Web

[08:36] <gaelfx> |RicharD|: sudo chmod +rwx
[08:36] <bigMike> sudo usermod -p '!' root ???
[08:36] <freakynl> jiltdil: see if there's a 'ServerTokens' value in the httpd.conf/apache2.conf/whatever ubuntu calls it and set it
[08:36] <|RicharD|> i had do it but nothing :(
[08:36] <bigMike> any one know this?
[08:36] <bigMike> sudo usermod -p '!' root
[08:36] <|RicharD|> is a media
[08:36] <|RicharD|> device
[08:36] <jiltdil> freaknyl:thanx alot
[08:36] <ohsix> gaelfx: that won't do anything on ntfs, and is a special exception when fuse is involved; as by default only the owner can access the mount anyways
[08:36] <gaelfx> |RicharD|: if it's a finalized CD/DVD, it's not gonna work
[08:36] <quiescens> bigMike: don't do that
[08:37] <bigMike> quiescens: oh?
[08:37] <gaelfx> ohsix: good to know, thanks
[08:37] <|RicharD|> no is a partition
[08:37] <quiescens> bigMike: that will just set the password to !
[08:37] <freakynl> jiltdil: config usually in the dir /etc/apache(2) or /etc/httpd, just use something like 'grep -inr servertokens /etc/apache2' for example
[08:37] <|RicharD|> is a hd windows partitioned 2 times
[08:37] <quiescens> bigMike: you want usermod -L
[08:37] <quiescens> bigMike: ie. sudo usermod -L (username)
[08:37] <ceo> how check my display driver, couse am need run some game, but my driver vga not decth
[08:37] <bigMike> ah thanks
[08:38] <bigMike> odd that's command is listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#root account
[08:38] <ohsix> gaelfx: it's actually really ugly to get to work with regular permissions, you need like, allow_other and that other overlay filesystem that adds posix permissions, cuz theres no place for fuse to stash them (though concievably it could store them in alternate streams, it does not)
[08:38] <|RicharD|> any suggest ?
[08:39] <gaelfx> ohsix: fortunately, I don't have to worry about it cause I'm not using NTFS with my Ubuntu at all :D
[08:39] <ohsix> ;]
[08:39] <ohsix> gaelfx: it can be really confusing with user level sharing when fuse is involved
[08:39] <bigMike> quiescens: how to unlock, usermod -U ?
[08:39] <quiescens> bigMike: yes
[08:40] <bigMike> so the root account is locked by default yet?
[08:40] <bigMike> *yes?
[08:40] <ohsix> it just won't work, cuz samba can't access them without allow_other, and with allow_other you need proper permissions or stuff can be trashed by anyone
[08:40] <jiltdil> freaknyl; when i used it shows grep -inr servertokens /etc/apache2
[08:40] <jiltdil> /etc/apache2/conf.d/security:19:# ServerTokens

[08:41] <durpa> hi, i just installed sun java6 jre and jdk, but my /usr/bin/java still points to old one i have, how can i find whereis my sun java executable?
[08:42] <red2kic> !java | durpa
[08:42] <ohsix> gaelfx: posixovl can be mounted allow_other though; since it applies permissions, and accesses the original volume as the same user, it'd be cool if it was automatic though (but there'd be 2 filesystems per mount and it'd be ugly :D)
[08:42] <durpa> red2kic: re-read what i asked... i already installed it
[08:43] <durpa> red2kic: i  just don't know where the sun binary is : / and updatedb && locate java brings too many results
[08:43] <ohsix> durpa: "which java", finds things in your path
[08:43] <gaelfx> ohsix: ok, now you're way over my head
[08:43] <red2kic> durpa: Read the link. Run "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
[08:44] <durpa> red2kic: ahhh! you're right! that's what i was missing!
[08:44] <durpa> red2kic: thanks
[08:44] <red2kic> durpa: Np.
[08:45] <ohsix> gaelfx: ;]
[08:45] <nibble> in mc, how do i see both permissions and modified columns?
[08:46] <ohsix> gaelfx: it's packaged for ubuntu as fuse-posixovl, http://sourceforge.net/projects/posixovl/ it's basically umsdos for any filesystem, stores permissions in a regular file so chmod and chown and i think acls work on filesystems without them

[08:53] <DaPenguin> ceo, try this 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[08:54] <azm> jhf, what means read the text?
[08:54] <openmind> Hi!
[08:55] <jhf> azm: asx is just a txt file that pionts to the real file
[08:56] <jhf> azm: so you can still run the asx file via player but it is only valid if the link is
[08:56] <azm> jhf, ok and how can I read it ?
[08:56] <azm> it does not play in browser
[08:56] <azm> in vlc either
[08:56] <jhf> azm: any editor -- so the link may not be vaild
[08:58] <openmind> Hi flks. I'd need some help: How could I enable "remote desktop" in a terminal? Thanks if somone knows :)

[09:00] <azm> jhf, in gedit I get bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[09:00] <azm> so its probably broken
[09:00] <openmind> gaelfx: exactly :)
[09:00] <azm> and thats why mimms does not work
[09:01] <jhf> azm: put it as a url the open in text
[09:01] <gaelfx> openmind: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=262376 that should work, if it doesn't, let me know
[09:02] <jhf> azm: then u get mms://kentro.kaist.ac.kr/200909/MilesReid(0915)-2.wmv

[09:05] <xro> nobody could give me 3min to help me to build it?
[09:06] <azm> jhf ok thanks, but the problem is I dont know how to view the source in firefox
[09:06] <jhf> azm: just past url then say open as
[09:07] <fairuz> Hi, how to know how much a folder took space in command line?
[09:08] <jhf> fairuz> du

[09:08] <gaelfx> azm: I think in Chromium, it's just ctl+u, I would imagine ff has a similar feature
[09:08] <bi-dream> hello all
[09:08] <jhf> fairuz>try  du -h
[09:08] <bi-dream> what is wrong in my script please i am a beginner in bash http://pastebin.com/hsJiMkkc

[09:10] <Interwebs> Can someone help me? I'm compiling something and getting an error saying that libGL.so.1 is not found, but I'm pretty sure I have the proper -dev libs installed
[09:11] <azm> gaelfx, it has but it does not work. Some video open immediately and I cant view the source
[09:11] <azm> I guess Im doing it wrong
[09:11] <fairuz> Interwebs: do ls -l libGL.so* to make sure you have the library
[09:12] <fairuz> Interwebs: do it in /usr/lib i suppose
easy
[09:12] <gaelfx> azm: well, if it's avideo, it's probably something from server side, I'm not sure if you can find that in the source anyways
[09:12] <Interwebs> fairuz: /usr/lib/libGL.so -> mesa/libGL.so
[09:12] <bi-dream> jhf yes i know, but it is not working anyway
[09:12] <azm> gaelfx, jhf found it
[09:12] <azm> I just cant
[09:13] <pider> I cannot anable bluetooth on my new asus laptop, how to fix?
[09:13] <fairuz> Interwebs: so do you have mesa/libGL.so?
[09:13] <azm> totem will open and video not
[09:13] <jhf> bi-dream:you called code_conn.sh but never created it
[09:13] <azm> in chrome stream works but ctrl+u not
[09:13] <Interwebs> fairuz: yes
[09:13] <fairuz> Interwebs: try to update the mesa package
[09:13] <gaelfx> azm: tried vlc? it's usually better with this sort of thing
[09:13] <bi-dream> i am browsing a lot of tutorials but no one use the included condition like that
[09:13] <fairuz> Interwebs: i think that will do the job
[09:13] <azm> gaelfx, yea, that does not work either
[09:14] <Interwebs> fairuz: its updated, but I think the problem is related to a recurring reverted symlink for people with nvidia drivers like myself
[09:14] <bi-dream> jhf code_conn.sh is the name of the script file
[09:14] <Interwebs> fairuz: but thanks for your help
[09:14] <jhf> bi-dream: then path is not given
[09:15] <bi-dream> jhf no , the error code means that on line 19 of the file it has the problem
[09:16] <bi-dream> but there is the fi
[09:16] <RocketLauncher> I want to close notifications.. not get rid of them. Just close them. Any way to fix this?
[09:16] <bi-dream> it surely means inside the if is a problem

[09:19] <jhf> bi-dream: so 19 executed but there is no perdue file
[09:19] <azm> monkeyD, yea, nvidia drivers are crap for linux
[09:19] <bi-dream> then some one can correct my if conditions ?
[09:19] <bi-dream> perdue is not a file, it is a variable
[09:19] <lokinou> azm: sometimes you need them, to play HoN for example
[09:20] <jhf> bi-dream: what do you need perdue to due
[09:20] <jhf> bi-dream: yes but you never toldit what to do
[09:20] <gordonjcp> azm: I thought the NVidia drivers were pretty good
[09:21] <gordonjcp> azm: they Just Plain Work(tm)
[09:21] <azm> jhf, please kindly reveal your great secret how did you made your trick to open that xml file ?
[09:21] <bi-dream> jhf i assign a value to perdue following conditions, either 1 or 0
[09:21] <jhf> bi-dream: yes hold
[09:21] <bi-dream> if connexion has been lost or not, if was connected on last checking

[09:23] <gordonjcp> azm: in general though NVidia is the manufacturer of choice if you want 3D to work
[09:23] <qwebirc41359> does anyone know why when i install 10.10 i get a terminal after reboot
[09:24] <jhf> bi-dream: ok i get the error

[09:34] <theinkman21> *maverick
[09:34] <coz_> theinkman21,  well  best and proper way is to either open a terminal and type sudo init 6
[09:35] <gaelfx> is there any liveusb/cd with nvidia drivers pre-installed available?

[09:37] <theinkman21> okay thank you
[09:37] <coz_> theinkman21,  the actual command would be   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

[09:38] <KB1JWQ> Morten_: And where is that going to echo to? :-)
[09:38] <theinkman21> i tried everything and command i can think of
[09:38] <KB1JWQ> Morten_: Check your maildir in /var/spool
[09:38] <Fiko007> ehej
[09:38] <Morten_> KB1JWQ, okay, ill check that :)
[09:38] <KB1JWQ> !sound | theinkman21
[09:39] <stojkofaco>  /join #gdku27
[09:40] <Morten_> KB1JWQ, not really anything there. But do you have a hint to a way to echo the output to the file?
[09:40] <KB1JWQ> Morten_: Which file?
[09:40] <Morten_>  /home/morten/output.txt
[09:40] <Morten_> echo "TEST" >> /home/morten/output.txt"
[09:40] <KB1JWQ> /bin/echo TEST >> /home/morten/output.txt
[09:41] <Morten_> oh ok, I will try to do that instead
[09:41] <theinkman21> is there also anyway to get video output other than installing libdvdread4
[09:42] <gaelfx> is it possible to create a liveusb with nvidia drivers installed?
[09:42] <theinkman21> i think gstreamer works but i'm not sure
[09:42] <jhf> theinkman21: libdvdread4 is for DVD
[09:42] <ohsix> gaelfx: you could do a regular install to a usb drive
[09:42] <nathic> how can I look if I have video card drivers installed? When I click on System->Administrator->Additional Drivers          it doesn't  detect anything...
[09:42] <theinkman21> ooooh ok
[09:42] <ohsix> gaelfx: theres tools for remastering and installing the casper file then resealing it, but it's been a while since i looked
[09:42] <theinkman21> then what is gstreamer for
[09:43] <ohsix> gaelfx: easier to do a regular install
[09:43] <gaelfx> ohsix: well, the issue is that my CD drive only works on the liveusb version, not a full install, so I was hoping to avoid actually installing
[09:43] <jhf> theinkman21: player backend
[09:44] <theinkman21> okay i think thats all i need
[09:44] <gaelfx> ohsix: it's something I've tried to fix on numerous occasions, to no avail. since 10.04
[09:44] <ohsix> gaelfx: isn't it simpler to find out why it isn't working
[09:44] <gaelfx> ohsix: you would think so, right?
[09:44] <theinkman21> how do i access this forum from ubuntu
[09:45] <gaelfx> ohsix: but if you have any other ideas about how to get my DVD drive to work, I'm all ears :D
[09:45] <nathic> theinkman21, i use xchat (irc client)
[09:45] <ohsix> gaelfx: you'd need to be running a nonworking system
[09:45] <nathic> how can I look if I have video card drivers installed? When I click on System->Administrator->Additional Drivers          it doesn't  detect anything...
[09:46] <theinkman21> okay...if i am running windows 7 and do a full install can i get windows 7 back if i want to?
[09:46] <theinkman21> without buying it of course
[09:46] <gaelfx> ohsix: sorry, not quite sure what you mean?
[09:46] <xiong> theinkman21, No; if I understand what you intend.
[09:46] <ohsix> gaelfx: you can begin to look when you are currently running the system where the dvd reader doesn't work
[09:47] <xiong> If you reformat your drive, everything on it is lost, including your OS. If you don't have a way to restore it, then of course, it's gone.
[09:47] <WIDE-LIDE> srckiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[09:47] <WIDE-LIDE> se znaeme li
[09:47] <theinkman21> so in order to re establish a windows operating system i would have to purchase it
[09:47] <gaelfx> ohsix: ok, I'll pop a disk in and pb some fun stuff for you ;)
[09:47] <Da_> hgfh
[09:47] <theinkman21> ok thanks xiong
[09:48] <Da_> bnj
[09:48] <nathic> how can I look if I have video card drivers installed? When I click on System->Administrator->Additional Drivers          it doesn't  detect anything...
[09:48] <xiong> theinkman21, Dunno. I wouldn't make any suggestions for how to install or re-install any version of Windows. Once you go to Ubuntu, you will never look back. -- Okay, so that's a lie; because you will be quite frustrated for about a month. Then, you will fight the world to keep it.
[09:49] <theinkman21> haha thats funny lol
[09:49] <xiong> theinkman21, It's the difference between working with your computer and fighting it.
[09:49] <theinkman21> gotta go install 10.10

[09:50] <varun>  hi friends,today my system is becoming slow, so i did top in the terminal,i came to know that 99% of memory is earting by indicator applet,why that much of memory is taking,is there any way to stop that process?
[09:50] <RocketLauncher> I want to close notifications.. not get rid of them. Just close them. Any way to fix this?
[09:50] <xiong> varun, "indicator applet"?
[09:50] <varun> xiong:yes,it is showing as indicator applet
[09:50] <ohsix> RocketLauncher: "close"? they time out
[09:51] <xiong> varun, What is the actual name of the process? It won't have a space in it (probably).
[09:52] <FroztIkon> is there a guide that could show me how to add a enviroment variable?
[09:52] <Darko> a
[09:52] <dfs> b
[09:52] <dyd> damn i want to make a simple "for" loop in python: "for i in 10:" repeat 10 times?
[09:53] <nathic> does  lspci -v | grep VGA show me if I have a driver installed or does it just output the device name...?
[09:53] <ohsix> FroztIkon: you basically create a file in /etc/profile.d/ that does it
[09:53] <varun> xiong, : http://pastebin.com/rz22Zxd9
[09:53] <lmontrieux> nathic, it will output the device name
[09:54] <nathic> lmontrieux, do you know a method how to check if I have a driver installed for my device?
[09:54] <xiong> varun, Your output was chopped off. You can make your terminal window wider, you know. Looks like the trouble process is 'indicator-applet'; with a dash.
[09:54] <lmontrieux> nathic, what device is it ?
[09:54] <lmontrieux> nathic, there probably is a driver for it in the kernel
[09:54] <xiong> varun, What happens when you kill it?
[09:54] <nathic> lmontrieux  , I guess I haven't got a driver installed .. under   system-> administration->additional drivers it doesn't show me drivers for my ati graphic card
[09:55] <varun> xiong: i dont know how to kill that process
[09:55] <FroztIkon> ohsix the thing is, I want to be able to call upon adb from the term without having to be in the same directory
[09:55] <lmontrieux> nathic, there is a driver, but it's the open source one. If there wasn't any you wouldn't see anything on the screen
[09:55] <lmontrieux> nathic, what's the exact model of your graphic card ?
[09:56] <ohsix> FroztIkon: then put it somewhere already in your path, if it's just for one user you can edit ~/.profile
[09:56] <nathic> lmontrieux, lspci -v | grep VGA gives me 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 71da (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[09:56] <monkeyD> my flashvideos that I am looking are very slow, and the framerate is not normal, is there a way to fix that ?
[09:56] <xiong> varun, Okay, well, first, point #1: You may always find that you've killed something you'd really rather have left running. So, be aware of that and know how to restart your system if need be. That will start up all processes that should normally be running, including any you've killed (by mistake or intentionally). Okay?
[09:57] <lokinou> to kill a process : killall <name of the process>
[09:57] <lokinou> (easy and bruteforce way to kill a process)
[09:57] <varun> xiong: ok
[09:57] <xiong> varun, For the rest, well, 'man kill' or 'man killall'. The first takes a PID, the second a process name.
[09:57] <lmontrieux> nathic, if there's no available driver in system->admin.->additional drivers, then I'm afraid there is no proprietary drivers available for that card
[09:58] <lokinou> kill -9 <pid of the process>
[09:58] <lmontrieux> nathic, you'll have to stick to the free version
[09:58] <nathic> lmontrieux, hmm but Im sure it once showed me some drivers there ...
[09:58] <lmontrieux> nathic, and did you install them?
[09:58] <RocketLauncher> ohsix, i don't like waiting for notifications to time out after i read them, i'm a fast reader and sometimes i want notifications and sometimes i don't.. i wouldn't want to disable them because i'd just enable them again after later
[09:58] <xiong> varun, You probably want to try the signal 'TERM' first but that rarely helps; I generally go directly to $ kill -s KILL offending-pid and hope there are no side effects. There usually are not.
[09:59] <xiong> varun, As usual, read the man page before doing too much tinkering.
[09:59] <nathic> lmontrieux, thing is  I recently did a reinstallation of ubuntu 10.10   and before the installation my system was running with no problem.. now I can't even turn on visual effects in my appearence menu
[09:59] <varun> xiong:k
[09:59] <ohsix> RocketLauncher: the point of notifications in ubuntu is to notify, not to have to dismiss or change your focus of attention, just ignore them until they go away, if you have a particular app that keeps a notification open way too long you should look at changing ti
[10:00] <dsonline> what
[10:00] <xiong> varun, If you kill the offending process, the problem will almost certainly go away; but that function may now be gone from your system; so you'll probably try a restart -- although you may just ignore that feature. If the problem reappears after restart, then it's time to study it closely.
[10:00] <lmontrieux> nathic, mmmh, that' weird
[10:00] <serverfel> nathic:Happened to me me to. Were you connected to the internet during install?
[10:01] <lmontrieux> nathic, were you running 10.10 before, or a previous version?
[10:01] <nathic> serverfel, jep
[10:01] <serverfel> Hmm...
[10:01] <nathic> lmontrieux, had 10.10 before
[10:01] <nathic> lmontrieux , but LTS version and now I've installed from alternate cd
[10:01] <lmontrieux> nathic, that shouldn't make a difference
[10:02] <varun> xiong: what is the command kill indicator-applet
[10:02] <nathic> lmontrieux, and last time I upgraded from 10.04
[10:02] <lmontrieux> nathic, have you checked this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[10:03] <xiong> varun, The commands are 'kill' or 'killall'. You can kill any process with those commands, including some essential ones; so the first point is to remember you may have to reboot if you're careless in what you kill; the second point is to be careful what you kill.
[10:03] <RocketLauncher> ohsix, I like to be notified and to be able to close it when I'm done reading it. My wifi notification just says "House - Connected". It's a bother
[10:03] <serverfel> nathic: what gpu du you have?
[10:03] <lmontrieux> nathic, is it an old card?
[10:03] <nathic> lmontrieux,  I just simply don't have any idea what graphic card I have .. just know that it's an     ati fireGL
[10:04] <spacenavi> help. my screen blinks when I play videos with vlc. I got an old computer with 7hundred something ram.
[10:04] <nathic> lmontrieux, but which series ... can I look that up in my system
[10:04] <varun> xiong: yes,what i did is : kill indicator-apple ,but the output it is saying is  bash: kill: indicator-apple: arguments must be process or job IDs
[10:04] <ohsix> RocketLauncher: perfect, disable notifications from nm-applet then
[10:04] <lmontrieux> nathic, lspci should tell you that
[10:04] <varun> xiong: what is the exact command to kill the indicator-appl
[10:05] <xiong> varun, Expand the width of your terminal window. The process is almost certainly named 'indicator-applet', not 'indicator-apple'.
[10:05] <ohsix> RocketLauncher: look in /apps/nm-applet in gconf-editor
[10:05] <varun> xiong: I expnded the window,it is showing indicator-apple only
[10:05] <serverfel> nathic: on my other laptop i had mayor issues with my M radeon 7500. Had to do quite a bit of tweaking. Maybe your previous install used a different driver by default. There are many to choose from. The "ati","radeon" etc...
[10:05] <xiong> varun, Please read the man pages; I won't feel comfortable making suggestions unless you study up, because there's a lot more to know that what I can say without retyping the whole man page.
[10:06] <nathic> lmontrieux, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 71da  01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 71fa                 but i have no idea what that means... not even google finds that card...
[10:06] <xiong> varun, Dunno. Quit top and try it again.
[10:06] <dsonline> aaa
[10:06] <RocketLauncher> ohsix, i like those notifications, i'd just like to close them when I'm done reading them.... is there another notifications framework i could use to replace it?
[10:06] <nathic> serverfel, yeah think my old system used another one but which
[10:06] <varun> xiong, :http://pastebin.com/9VQKzdZV
[10:06] <xiong> varun, There are two ways to kill a process: by process ID or by name. 'kill' kills by PID; 'killall' kills by name. I've already suggested one way to do it.
[10:07] <varun> xiong: k,i will try,thank you
[10:07] <ohsix> RocketLauncher: there probably is, but the point is to notify you of something, not to distract you and have to deal with trivialities
[10:07] <lmontrieux> Hmmm, that's annoying
[10:07] <nathic> serverfel, and how can i choose one? in additional drivers it showes me nothing...
[10:07] <martin__> good morning
[10:07] <RocketLauncher> it distracts me for three extra seconds after i read it though :( i'll google
[10:08] <lmontrieux> nathic, could it be this? {“ ATI FireGL V5200 Secondary ,RV530 , 71FA “}
[10:08] <serverfel> nathic: im afarid there aint no easy way. Youĺl have to create a xorg.conf file and edit a bit. There are tips on the internet on how to configure the file. By default. Ubuntu 10.10 does not use such a file, but if you create it it will use it.
[10:08] <ohsix> like clicking on every single one will be less distracting
[10:08] <xiong> varun, Okay, well, I never really noticed that top clipped the output like that. As I said, it's almost certainly 'indicator-applet'.
[10:08] <varun> xiong: Thank you,i killed that process,now no problem with system,i will check after reboot
[10:09] <ostry> siema
[10:09] <nathic> lmontrieux  , yeah  :D might be ..
[10:09] <ysk> i am upwhich version of ubuntu is stable 10.04 lts or 10.10
[10:09] <xiong> varun, If it runs up 100% CPU again, start writing down notes about it. When does it happen? What else is going on at the same time?
[10:09] <ysk> and if i have to increase the size of my ubuntu partition how could i do that
[10:09] <varun> xiong:sure,i will keep an eye on that one
[10:10] <ysk> varun bhai can u answer my question?
[10:10] <lmontrieux> nathic, ok, so now that you know your card model, have a look at ATI's website to see if it's still supported (see the link I sent you earlier), and if it doesn't then you'll have to follow serverfel 's advice and fiddle with and xorg.conf file
[10:11] <varun> ysk:which system you are using.i mean which laptop
[10:11] <ysk> its lenova 10 inch idea pad
[10:11] <ysk> notebook
[10:11] <serverfel> nathic: the card should work out of the box, but there is some threads on the net. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_FireGL_V5200
[10:11] <ysk> i am using 10.04
[10:11] <ysk> i need to resize my partition
[10:13] <FroztIkon> ah ha, I found the path variable
[10:14] <serverfel> nathic: another useful thread http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/hardware-peripherals/145940-ati-video-drivers-mobility-firegl-v5200.html. with the 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ' commadn metinoed. good one.
[10:14] <varun> ysk:ubuntu 10.04 is Long time support,which they provide support for upto five years,in case of 10.10 it is not lts,but it is advanced one,if you can wait upto april 4th,i prefer you to download 11.04 natty narwahal
[10:14] <Lantizia> Hey how can I generate the type of password hash used in /etc/shadow to use with useradd?  (starts $6$6... so based on sha512 somehow?!?)
[10:16] <varun> 11.04 has all the advance versions,new kernel,but you have to wait upto april 4th, now it is in beta stage
[10:16] <nathic> serverfel, somehow I don't have an  /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[10:16] <servet> hi everyone i am using ubuntu 10.10 desktop and looking this error Mar 29 12:16:00 usta kernel: [ 8088.062396] radeon 0000:01:05.0: DVI-D-1: EDID block 0 invalid.
[10:16] <servet> can anyone help me ?
[10:16] <apc> my tty consoles are dropping off the bottom of the screen, and only 1 line is visible. Could someone please help?
[10:17] <nathic> lmontrieux, serverfel,     now with your tips I think I will fix the problem             thank you very much for your help
[10:17] <serverfel> nathic: thats correct. Youĺl need to create one. 10.10 does not have one by default. newer X system tries to figure out what to du automatically
[10:17] <lmontrieux> nathic, you're welcome
[10:18] <serverfel> nathic: i used to pull my hear out with the same issues, if i had any help then i would be grateful. If it still does not work or hangs and freezes, try turning off VESA support. somtimes that also helps.
[10:18] <gaelfx> whenever I insert any kind of media into my DVD drive, it takes several minutes for it to show up on my desktop, and in the meantime, the system is remarkably unresponsive. could someone help me fix this?
[10:18] <nathic> serverfel, hmm oki I'll make some tests :D  but first a break... 4,5 hours without break  ...
[10:19] <gaelfx> also I should note, this behavior does not occur when I'm using the liveusb version of ubuntu
[10:19] <serverfel> nathic: sure
[10:19] <FroztIkon> anyone know the command to change the prompt in terminal, without renaming everything, to something other than user@device
[10:19] <nathic> serverfel, hope to see you around .. and maybe I can once help you out :D
[10:20] <red2kic> FroztIkon: Change ~/.bashrc (or ~/.profile) -- Depends.
[10:20] <AdvoWork> i have paths set like: mirror_lenny = http://cdn.debian.net/debian  for something im using, how would i specify the path for the latest server version?
[10:20] <gaelfx> it also takes several minutes after the graphical confirmation of mounting for it to actually read the media at all, so for example, whenever I put a DVD in and try to play it, it takes forever to begin playing
[10:21] <ohsix> FroztIkon: the bash man page has info on setting the prompt
[10:21] <serverfel> nathic: i hope so to. =)

[10:24] <RobinHood> hello! I have a problem with apt-get; I have a local repository set up, and I used dpkg-scanpackages to make a Packages.gz file, then put the proper lines in /etc/apt/sources.list; but when I run apt-get update, it says (among other things) "failed to fetch file:/[file path]/Packages.gz File not found". The thing that irks me most is...that precise path DOES exist! What am I doing wrong? I googled, and I'm not finding anything...
[10:24] <Poisonfibre> omg...you ruined
[10:24] <red2kic> Poisonfibre: New laptop = New hardware that hasn't been tested.
[10:25] <Poisonfibre> the correct answer was....Cause it wasnt winter yet -.-
[10:25] <joeb_> ...

[10:29] <RobinHood> lekremyelsew : no, i didn't type in the file name/path, i just cd'd to the root of my repository, and ran dpkg-scanpackages; I then checked the Packages.gz file to make sure that the package filename paths were correct, and they were...

[10:33] <lekremyelsew> RobinHood, I just thought that might have possibly happened to you
[10:33] <RobinHood> lekremyelsew : well, there aren't any spaces in the path...there ARE "."s in it...
[10:33] <RobinHood> "."s aren't a problem on the command line, fur as I know...
[10:35] <lekremyelsew> RobinHood, yeah I think there fine
[10:35] <lekremyelsew> *they're
[10:35] <RobinHood> I'm ready to punch apt-get in the face, if only it had one, for being thick-headed.

[10:37] <gaelfx> RobinHood: if you go into Synaptic you can change the software sources and switch to a different server, it should work
[10:38] <lekremyelsew> RobinHood, is there possibly a space after the .gz?
[10:38] <lekremyelsew> RobinHood, in the actual file
[10:38] <mehdi> hey fellas do we have any application for typing practice?
[10:38] <RobinHood> gaelfx : this box has no internet connectivity, thus the local repo.
[10:38] <RobinHood> lekremyelsew : the name Packages.gz is not mentioned in sources.list, at all.
[10:39] <lekremyelsew> RobinHood, then why is the program looking for it?
[10:39] <gaelfx> ohsix: sorry, it took longer than I thought it would. This is what I get when I put a DVD in my drive: http://pastebin.com/TSGbQgP2
[10:40] <RobinHood> lekremyelsew : apt-get looks for a file called Packages.gz for the list of files in the repository
[10:41] <RobinHood> lekremyelsew : my sources.list line is as follows: deb file:/[my home dir]/ports.ubuntu.com/ powerpc/
[10:41] <RobinHood> lekremyelsew : and ports.ubuntu.com is a directory on my computer, not a web address.

[10:57] <gaelfx> ohsix: it's a DVD
[10:57] <ohsix> gaelfx: nah, the seagate on the same controller,  not the dvd drive

[11:00] <ohsix> gaelfx: at best you might isolate it to the seagate, it'll still have link problems
[11:00] <ohsix> gaelfx: i'd try and disable 3gbps mode first
[11:00] <gaelfx> ohsix: how would I do that?
[11:01] <Darko_> join #gdku27
[11:01] <ohsix> gaelfx: either by jumper or in the bios, or with a kernel option
[11:01] <gaelfx> ohsix: ok

[11:01] <Flynsarmy> In FF4, when you hide the menu bar, the firefox button doesn't have a 'Tools' submenu - which alot of extensions put their names in. Is there any way to put tools into the firefox menu or am i forced to just show the menu?
[11:02] <Somelauw> How do I know if acpi is enabled or disabled?
[11:02] <ohsix> Flynsarmy: theres a key to just open the menu even when it's hidden, if you want to be able to click on it without it you're going to have to have it visible
[11:03] <ohsix> Somelauw: try dmesg | grep ACPI
[11:03] <Flynsarmy> blah :S you'd think the UI guys at mozilla would have picked up on this in the first...say...24 hours after removing the menu bar lol

[11:18] <ntat> I have problem with Ubuntu One. When I synchronize my folder Ubuntu One copy only directory and subdirectory without any files. Why?
[11:18] <Darko_> ej
[11:18] <Darko_> tuj li ste?
[11:18] <Pumpkin-> akashm1990: you can't. You most likely want to check out iptables and tc which provide the same kind of functionality.
[11:19] <Darko_> alo
[11:19] <MadHaTTer_222> lmfao why is it i am forced to speak perfect english so non-native english speakers can understand me but non-native english speakers can butcher their words tell i cant understand they?
[11:19] <Darko_> maroi
[11:19] <akashm1990> Pumpkin-, Whats tc?

[11:20] <akashm1990> Pumpkin-, Is this it? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/tc.8.html
[11:20] <Pumpkin-> yeah. It provides a lot of the same features as dummynet
[11:20] <ioria> i use nautilus 2.32.0 and my network (winxp, debian, slackware) is reachable with 'connect to server' but does not appear int the 'Network' window
[11:21] <ioria> in wirless
[11:21] <ioria> yes, with eth
[11:22] <ntat> sombody help me?:)
[11:26] <kusam> hi
[11:27] <ioria> ntat: i don't use yet Ubuntu one... but maybe it can copy only files and not subdirectory
[11:29] <ntat> ioria, Ubuntu One can copy directory with files, I check this on one folder with 10 filse and its works.
[11:30] <ioria> oh
[11:30] <bobhal> hello all
[11:31] <ntat> But when I synchronize folder with a lot files Ubuntu One copy only folders nad subfolders
[11:31] <perlmonkey> hello
[11:31] <austinium> how do i disable single user boot option from Ubuntu? I am trying to secure a system so that the user cannot reset password by using the recovery boot option
[11:31] <ntat> *and subfolders
[11:31] <ioria> oh
[11:32] <ohsix> austinium: that doesn't do much for security
[11:32] <ntat> these files have cirka 78 MB, but individual files is small
[11:32] <lmontrieux> austinium, does the user have physical access to the machine?
[11:33] <austinium> lmontrieux: yes
[11:33] <zvacet> austinium:  then there is no 100% security
[11:34] <austinium> ohsix: i dont want the user fiddling aroung the settings
[11:34] <ohsix> no 100%, but in this case, single user mode is one kernel command line edit away; and if you disable that, a livecd, or anything that can mount it
[11:34] <lmontrieux> austinium, then there's no point in disabling the recovery mode, since the user could simply boot on a livecd or even steal the hard drive. As soon as users have physical access, you need some amount of trust that they won't do anything silly.
[11:34] <ohsix> austinium: then you probably want centralized authentication, something that can't be messed with
[11:34] <lmontrieux> austinium, or, just enforce security using a big guard with a big gun :)
[11:34] <austinium> hehe
[11:35] <austinium> canit be done?
[11:35] <ohsix> lots of things can be done
[11:36] <Futka> #gdku
[11:36] <Futka> \dsad
[11:36] <austinium> like disabling recovery mode?
[11:36] <austinium> lmontrieux: you are right about the liveCD
[11:36] <ohsix> if you were looking for a good way to do it, that wouldn't be it
[11:37] <ohsix> you can edit the kernel command line with grub and make it boot however you like
[11:37] <ohsix> austinium: though it won't do anything real, you can do what you want in /etc/default/grub
[11:37] <austinium> ohsix: like remove the recovery boot option and then put a grub password to prevent editing
[11:38] <Somelauw> Apparently acpi_id[0x00 and 0x01] are enabled and 0x02 and 0x03 are disabled.
[11:38] <ohsix> and seal all the usb ports and removable media drives with epoxy
[11:38] <ohsix> but then, people can edit the passwords once it's booted
[11:38] <austinium> ohsix:hehe
[11:39] <austinium> ohsix: wouldn't they need the password to edit (iam not sure)???
[11:39] <ohsix> not sure, i think it can be setup that way
[11:39] <ohsix> but they can boot even the stuff on the harddrive any way they want with some external media
[11:39] <MadHaTTer_222> model glue is awesome
[11:40] <ohsix> model glue wouldn't be sufficient, needs oxygen to cure
[11:40] <hemza> my laptop shutdown when i work ...
[11:40] <MadHaTTer_222> when it comes to comp plastic nothing works better then model glue
 +1 to that ;)
[11:40] <ohsix> you need an epoxy that will cure in absence of air if it's more than a small thickness
[11:40] <austinium> hemza: is it heating up?
[11:41] <hemza> CPU get 100% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[11:41] <yacc> Any idea how to make pulseaudio not suspend audio when I switch to text mode?
[11:41] <austinium> hemza:what are you running?
[11:41] <RobinHood> YankDownUnder : that ubuntu forum post wasn't much help.
[11:41] <ohsix> as forums often are
[11:41] <MadHaTTer_222> indeed
[11:42] <Johbe> Hello.
[11:43] <MadHaTTer_222> i had a problem no forum on channel could cure in a ubuntu server ed so after 3 weeks i fixed it my dam self
[11:43] <Johbe> Is there anyway to get sar (from sysstat) to behave like it did in 8.x, 7.x for example when I'm doing sar -W 2 it does 2 statreports then quites, but now with systat 9.x it continue forever with 2 seconds meantime between collects.
[11:45] <ohsix> Johbe: did you look in the manual? if the command line option changed it'd be in there
[11:45] <ohsix> Johbe: conversely, if you can make it report once and exit, you could fake it with 'watch'
[11:46] <juniorsa> Hi, I am running zentyal but no-one in that channel has answered me. so now I am turning to ubuntu as zentyal is based on ubuntu, The issue is I have eth1 configured for pppoe and it does connected as shown by ifconfig, eth2 is my cable modem (dhcp) it connects fine and seems to take all traffic, I can't figure out how to have traffic balance, any ideas?
[11:46] <ohsix> juniorsa: this channel generally doesn't support the distros based on ubuntu, that aren' tubuntu itself (kubuntu, edubuntu etc)
[11:46] <RobinHood> I have a problem with apt-get; I have a local repository set up, and I used dpkg-scanpackages to make a Packages.gz file, then put the proper lines in /etc/apt/sources.list; but when I run apt-get update, it says (among other things) "failed to fetch file:/[file path]/Packages.gz File not found". The thing that irks me most is...that precise path DOES exist! What am I doing wrong? I googled, and I'm not finding anything...
[11:47] <MadHaTTer_222> if tracing the root wouldnt you go for debian as ubuntu is based off that?
[11:47] <ohsix> juniorsa: and that's a general linux question, if the two interfaces have the same route, and the same metric, traffic will be shared
[11:47] <ohsix> juniorsa: but in your case they never will
[11:47] <ohsix> juniorsa: if you want to do load balancing between them you'll need to do application level proxying or something, but that can break a lot of websites D:
[11:47] <juniorsa> ohsix: right they do have the same metric, but not the same gateway, is there a howto somewhere that might help?
[11:47] <juniorsa> squid?
[11:48] <ohsix> yep
[11:48] <hemza> austinium
[11:48] <ohsix> but sites see different client addresses unless you have some very special setup which actually breaks efficient load balancing
[11:48] <hemza> austinium, ubuntu 10.04
[11:48] <MadHaTTer_222> night everyone
[11:49] <Johbe> ohsix: I don't want to change the commandline, I'd like to set some environment variable or something so it behaves like it did earlier, but can't find any info about it.
[11:49] <juniorsa> ohsix so if no one in zentyal wants to help I will post something and see if anyone answers, thanks at least for answering I appreciate it
[11:49] <ohsix> juniorsa: no problem, i was just telling you that nobody else likely would ;]
[11:49] <juniorsa> ohsix: right
[11:49] <fvahid> hi all
[11:50] <fvahid> how i can view image in terminal without x enviromente
[11:50] <fvahid> ?
[11:50] <ohsix> fvahid: like in text?
[11:50] <ohsix> fvahid: theres a tool in aalib to do it, but i forget the name of it
[11:51] <ohsix> fvahid: if you're talking about seejpeg and other things that use that old svga library they're pretty much gone

[11:57] <jussi> how does one remove a symlink without removing the target?
[11:58] <ohsix> jussi: rm
[11:58] <jussi> ohsix: so rm symling will not remove the target?
[11:58] <ohsix> soft links are just special, regular files; you actually need to work at it to delete the linked to file ;]
[11:58] <monaDeveloper> Hi
[11:59] <ohsix> jussi: nope, and hard links will remove one reference to the inode; if all are removed the file will be too, but those semantics are easy enough to figure out, cuz hard linked files act like regular files ;]
[11:59] <jussi> ohsix: ok, Ive got important stuff behind the symlink, so I dont want to kill it all
[11:59] <monaDeveloper> my laptop was heating so much after installing ubuntu but after solving that problem and having a cooler pad
[12:00] <monaDeveloper> I installed KDE 4.7
[12:00] <monaDeveloper> and it worked ok
[12:00] <monaDeveloper> but I had to change my VGA card and now it returned back to over heating
[12:00] <monaDeveloper> even using still the cooler pad
[12:01] <monaDeveloper> I switched off the desktop effects
[12:01] <monaDeveloper> compiz and stuff
[12:01] <ioria> i use nautilus 2.32.0 and my network (winxp, debian, slackware) is reachable with 'connect to server' but does not appear int the 'Network' window
[12:01] <ioria> help
[12:02] <ohsix> monaDeveloper: how do you know its overheating, is it shutting down? that can be a number of things
[12:02] <monaDeveloper> ohsix: I check the heat using sensors

[12:09] <martin__> hello, could someone here help me with a problem with linking anope to inspircd?
[12:09] <static_> how long should it take for a normal hdd to be converted to ext4? (7200rpm/320gb)
[12:10] <ljsoftnet> @static_ a few minutes
[12:11] <static_> i have been stuck there for at least 15 minutes
[12:11] <ohsix> martin__: it's pretty well documented in anope's stuff
[12:11] <ljsoftnet> @static_ i think it wont take long
[12:11] <martin__> yeah i know but i got stuck
[12:11] <ohsix> martin__: that is if it can link at all; services link as servers
[12:12] <martin__> inspircd has a fine anope compatibility according to their site
[12:12] <martin__> and the docs are great too, read it, used it
[12:12] <martin__> but somehow i m still not seeing something
[12:13] <phoenixsampras1> how to completele remove a package?
[12:13] <LjL> phoenixsampras1: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
[12:13] <ohsix> phoenixsampras1: apt-get purge, though regular removal only leaves config files behind
[12:13] <Dannyd> apttitude purge packagename
[12:14] <ohsix> if you're using aptitude you can press _, it'll purge it
[12:14] <ohsix> if you want to purge all the packages you've removed already, aptitude purge ~c
[12:14] <Dannyd> sometimes i think apt-get dosent remove unnecessary dependencies, if im right
[12:14] <ohsix> only if autoclean is disabled
[12:14] <Dannyd> ok
[12:15] <davzie> Anyone here ever setup a DNS server on Mac OSX Server?
[12:15] <Dannyd> ohsix: how do i check if it is enabled?
[12:15] <LjL> Dannyd: oh you can "sudo apt-get autoremove" to remove those
[12:15] <ohsix> but one has to wonder what that has to do with ubuntu
[12:16] <phoenixsampras1> thank you guys!
[12:17] <ohsix> Dannyd: theres a thing to dump the current configuration but i forget it at the moment, you can grep /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ though
[12:18] <Dannyd>  LjL: so is "apt-get --purge remove packagename\n" "apt-get autoclean\n" == "apt-get autoremove packagename"?
[12:19] <Johbe> I found the difference in the manfiles to sar aswell
[12:19] <LjL> denny: == "apt-get --purge autoremove packagename", i think
[12:19] <Johbe> They removed 1 sentance in the description of the command
[12:19] <Johbe> The default value for the count parameter is 1.
[12:19] <Dannyd> LjL : ("apt-get --purge remove packagename\n" "apt-get autoclean\n") == "apt-get autoremove packagename"?
[12:19] <Johbe> that sentance is no longer in the description for sysstat 9.x
[12:19] <Johbe> which breaks compatibility..
[12:20] <phoenixsampras1> .
[12:20] <LjL> Dannyd: i mean, i think "apt-get autoremove packagename" alone doesn't purge
[12:20] <Dannyd> ok sorry i just understood that your previous post..ok i get it now..
[12:21] <quiescens> autoremove doesn't do anything related to autoclean
[12:23] <ohsix> i misspoke, autoclean removes old packages from the cache, autoremove removes dependencies
[12:23] <Dannyd> I created a panel with auto hide, to the left side of the desktop and added a few widgets...now when i click on a widget, from that panel it stays out...i have to drag the cursor quickly over it again only then it goes back into hiding...how do i make it go back even if I have made a selection from the panel?
[12:23] <Dannyd> thanks  quiescens:, ohsix:..i think i understand the difference..
[12:27] <Dannyd> can someone please tell me where i can ask the panel question?
[12:27] <antant> Hey guys. I've got a question about bash scripting. How do I use the first instance of "ls filename.*.ext" as a variable in "cp file.ext target/file.ext" ?
[12:27] <ohsix> you might not have an answer, it sounds more appropriate to file as a bug
[12:28] <CoolWhip_> BOOOOOOM
[12:28] <ohsix> antant: no scripting needed, cp filename.*.ext target/ will do it
[12:28] <antant> shake shake shake the room
[12:28] <Netw0rkBug> lal
[12:28] <antant> ohsix: Problem is, I want to change the file name
[12:29] <Dannyd> ohsix: how would i do that?
[12:30] <ohsix> Dannyd: find the package for the panel and add a bug on launchpad.net
[12:30] <Dannyd> ok ill try
[12:30] <martin__> i finally got it, kept looking in the wrong place >.<
[12:30] <ohsix> martin__: :] sometimes it pays to leave something alone for a while
[12:31] <CZAR> i am new to ubuntu i want soem guidelines in installing packages
[12:32] <smw> CZAR, there are no "guidelines" for installing packages
[12:32] <martin__> yeah =) now to find out how to set /ns etc
[12:32] <antant> CZAR: have a look at the ubuntu wiki
[12:33] <antant> ohsix: any idea on my bash scripting problem?
[12:34] <ohsix> you wouldn't be using bash alone to do it
[12:34] <ohsix> how do you want to change the filename
[12:34] <keyUp> I have 2 internet conections one wan other lan how can I use both at the same time, so let's say I have a website and I want to use upload from both of them
[12:34] <LjL> antant: i didn't understand the question (but it might be better to ask in #bash)
[12:34] <antant> well here's the command line I want:  ./movie London.Boulevard "London Boulevard" 2010
[12:35] <ohsix> so change periods to spaces and add a date?
[12:35] <novitololo> Hi, If I'm in a windows machine and I've connected remotely (via SSH) to a ubuntu server, and I want to copy some files to my windows machine, how can I do that?
[12:35] <smw> novitololo, winscp
[12:35] <ohsix> tr '.' ' ' ;]
[12:35] <phoenixsampras1> novitololo: use SFTP
[12:35] <antant> I want it to transfer ./downloads/movies/London.Boulevard.x264.Release.mkv to ./media/London Boulevard (2010)/London Boulevard.mkv
[12:35] <novitololo> alright, two options here
[12:36] <novitololo> thanks mate :)
[12:36] <smw> novitololo, they are both the same
[12:36] <novitololo> ok perfect
[12:36] <smw> novitololo, winscp is an sftp client
[12:36] <novitololo> perfect
[12:36] <phoenixsampras1> antant: do you have a parrot in your shoulder?
[12:36] <novitololo> but I wonder, does my server has to have an FTP server right?
[12:36] <LjL> antant: uhm how would the script know where the title ends and the rest begins, given everything is separated by periods?
[12:37] <smw> novitololo, sftp is over ssh
[12:37] <novitololo> ok
[12:37] <smw> novitololo, any server with ssh should work
[12:37] <novitololo> thanks, I'm going to read about it
[12:37] <novitololo> appreciate
[12:37] <keyUp> I have 2 internet conections one wan other lan how can I use both at the same time, so let's say I have a website and I want to use upload from both of them
[12:37] <antant> LjL: well that's why I want it to use the first instance of the file in 'ls ./downloads/movies/London.Boulevard.*.mkv'
[12:38] <LjL> antant: well to put that into a variable you can do:  VAR=$(ls ./downloads/movies/London.Boulevard.*.mkv | head -n 1)
[12:38] <ohsix> keyUp: if it is indeed a web sever, you just need to look up ip based virtual hosting with your prefered web server
[12:38] <antant> LjL: cheers buddy, that's exactly what I needed!

[12:45] <yacc> ohsix, well, not exactly, the part that is easily replaceable by taking *BSD (* in Free, Open, Net) has been open source, Apple did not exactly help the community, the part that makes OSX what the user experiences has never been opensource.
[12:45] <ohsix> pider: sounds like some of the software might have been uninstalled
[12:45] <yacc> ohsix, although there is an opensource reimplementation in OpenStep or so I think.
[12:45] <ohsix> yacc: large parts, bro; darwin comes to mind
[12:46] <ohsix> gcc, llvm; but this is offtopic, the assertion was just false
[12:46] <pider> I have installed blueman, because the default will nor work either
[12:47] <ohsix> pider: better to figure out why the defaults don't work than possibly muck up the situation with stuff thats even less well supported
[12:47] <pepsi> so if i deleted /usr/bin, and i copy a /usr/bin from somewhere, is there a way using apt-get to reinstall the missing files?
[12:47] <ohsix> pepsi: debsums can give you a list of missing/changed files
[12:48] <pider> ok I install the default program
[12:48] <ohsix> you shouldn't need to install anything, ubuntu-desktop brings in all the things for gnome to manage most bluetooth devices
[12:51] <pider> I get only the message that I sshall turn the bluetooth on
[12:51] <pider> and nothing happens
[12:52] <ohsix> pider: did you restart after removing blueman?
[12:53] <pider> nope, I will now
[12:53] <zelda> How do I add existing user to sudoers file. I know there is a command with -G option, but just cant remember it.
[12:53] <ohsix> zelda: that doesn't add people to the sudoers, but usermod -G can add users to the "admin" group
[12:54] <damian> i wonder if anyone can help , im looking for some DJ softwear ? somethink like i can add playlist's and it will auto mix ? anyidears ?
[12:55] <phoenixsampras1> damian party?

[12:56] <denismfm> having problems with belkin surf f7d1102 on a fairly old 32 bit laptop, have followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815 and dmesg shows "usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl819xu", "system/network tools/devices" list includes wlan0, shows mac 85 62 9e xx xx xx so I assume hardware is talking to adapter but it doesn't seem to be trying to connect to the network, ssid and pw match the one on this working 10.10 64 bit with built in wirele
[12:56] <nick_name> whats up?
[12:56] <damian> syrinx_,  will that auto mix ?
[12:57] <ohsix> you wanna remove the dj part of being a dj? :D
[12:57] <JTallis> I still have the same issue with a live file system: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10612335 :(
[12:58] <damian> lol , yeah . after a few drinks last i night , they said " were looking for somone to do some DJing " and me , being the ... well.... said yeah i can give it a go ... now i sort of have to do somethink ;)
[12:58] <syrinx_> damian: I was using that as reference, serato is "windows software"
[12:58] <ohsix> need a fader and beat matcher :D
[12:58] <nick_name> how to blank screen with terminal?
[12:58] <syrinx_> could probably run it with wine though
[12:58] <syrinx_> nick_name: ctrl-l
[12:59] <damian> yeah ohsix  thats what i was looking for , so i could just set up a play list , and look dead cool ;)
[12:59] <nick_name> syrinx_: sorry. how to lock screen in terminal
[12:59] <ranjan> Hi All
[12:59] <dzwiedz__> pld

[13:00] <nick_name> syrinx_: i want to active blank scrren~saver

[13:00] <nick_name> lock the screen you know
[13:00] <ohsix> damian: there are two projects i know of but don't recall the names D: you might search for "dj" in software center, or vj

[13:01] <Sonne> yep
[13:01] <Sonne> you release it with ^Q
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> i recall some console tools to lock the console.
[13:02] <syrinx_> nick_name: gnome-screensaver-command --lock
[13:02] <pider> ohsix: same problem with the bluetooth, ask to be turned on, but nothing happends
[13:02] <syrinx_> i think thats what your looking for
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> ctrl-s and q - are 'flow' control sequences for the terminal/console. not a 'lock'
[13:02] <Abhijit>  hi guys. trying to install the board. it says i need to have a version of gboject-introspection >= 0.9.6 but the latest version available on gnome website is 0.6.14
[13:02] <Abhijit> help. what to do?
[13:02] <syrinx_> the board?
[13:03] <ohsix> pider: ok, can you post the output of dmesg to a pastebin, and the output of rfkill list
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> Abhijit:   it could be its designed for use with 11.04 for now.
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> or theres some odd version #'s going on
[13:03] <JTallis> Also tried a disk that was burned using the same computer but no luck. :/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10612335
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> 'the-board' a bullitenboard program for your desktop. VERY much a work in progress
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> 'pinboard' type thing :)
[13:04] <syrinx_> ah
[13:04] <Abhijit> Dr_Willis, okay but in real world 'somewhere that 0.906 version should exist naa? its not even exist in gnome website?
[13:04] <Pici> ranjan: number of hardlinks

[13:06] <zeroburn> hay may synaptic packet manager wont start due to error "E: The package nvidia-common needs to be reinstalled, but I cant find a package for it" any help?
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> Abhijit:  downloaded the deb from its homepage i think. theres a PPA for it now also.. natty only i think
[13:06] <syrinx_> nick_name: that should be what your looking for
[13:06] <portugueseman> are they staying with gnome\
[13:06] <Abhijit> Dr_Willis, i cant find its home page? help please
[13:06] <syrinx_> portugueseman: yes
[13:07] <ohsix> nick_name: haha someone tricked you, ctrl+s is scroll lock, "unfreeze" it with ctrl+q
[13:07] <nick_name> ban syrinx_ please-
[13:07] <nick_name> ohsix: thanks for the info
[13:08] <syrinx_> ?
[13:08] <nick_name> syrinx_: this is for helping ppl
[13:08] <ohsix> nick_name: you might have missed someone mention ^Q shortly thereafter
[13:08] <ohsix> so don't get too bent out of shape
[13:08] <LjL> he's right though
[13:08] <syrinx_> nick_name: i gave you the screensaver lock command
[13:09] <LjL> malicious suggestions of any kind are not acceptable here. please don't give them.
[13:09] <nick_name> syrinx_: ...
[13:09] <nick_name> im in terminal
[13:09] <ohsix> syrinx_ wasn't the one that said it either
[13:09] <RobinHood> YankDownUnder : I just want to thank you for your comment earlier; for future reference, yes, packages.gz (and possibly all *.debs, not sure) needs to be owned by root:root. I ran chown root:root Packages.gz, and was finally able to get apt-get update to work. Thanks.
[13:09] <syrinx_> and last time i checked, gnome-screensaver-command --lock turns on the screensaver from terminal
[13:09] <nick_name> syrinx_: im using CLI
[13:10] <nick_name> lol
[13:10] <JTallis> You're all ignorant cuntbags. -.-
[13:10] <zeroburn> hay my synaptic packet manager wont start due to error "E: The package nvidia-common needs to be reinstalled, but I cant find a package for it" any help?
[13:10] <majidkhan> hey guys im having problem copying my files to hdd, it hangs my computer up
[13:10] <majidkhan> now its not even reading my hdd
[13:10] <majidkhan> with err code 13
[13:10] <majidkhan> any clue?
[13:10] <nick_name> is there a way to transfer tty2 to tty1?
[13:10] <Guest34911> hi, my sound stopped working after I installed gstreamer-plugins-bad
[13:10] <LjL> majidkhan: eh, maybe hardware problem with the HDD? have you checked it with SMART?
[13:10] <Guest34911> I followed the steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[13:10] <Guest34911> but no luck
[13:10] <majidkhan> LjL: how would i do that/
[13:10] <LjL> which op will win? /me waits trepidantly
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> nick_name:  you mean in the CONSOLE, not in X at all?
[13:10] <nick_name> Guest34911: try to remove the package andcheck if they work again
[13:10] <majidkhan> LjL: it was working fine moment a go
[13:11] <Guest34911> I did, but no luck there either :(
[13:11] <LjL> majidkhan: install "smartmontools", then issue a "sudo smartctl -H /dev/whatever"
[13:11] <ohsix> smartctl -x
[13:11] <ohsix> ftw
[13:11] <Guest34911> It looked like my sound card is no longer recognized
[13:11] <nick_name> Dr_Willis: yes in console
[13:11] <ohsix> Guest34911: that may be, but installing gstreamer-plugins-bad didn't do it, aside from being a multimedia package it has nothing to do with it :D
[13:12] <majidkhan> LjL: thanks bro, i ll check it now
[13:12] <ranjan> Pici: what does that actually means?
[13:12] <pider> here is picture of the bluetooth window:[url=http://bildr.no/view/853077][img]http://bildr.no/thumb/853077.jpeg[/img][/url]
[13:12] <Guest34911> I didn't think so, but that's the only thing out of the ordinary that I did prior to the sound no longer working. :)  I can't remember if I updated yesterday
[13:13] <nick_name> Dr_Willis: i just want to lock the screen in CLI. dunno if its possible
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> !info vlock
[13:13] <ranjan> Pici: where and how are the hardlinks created
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> nick_name:  proberly is with the proper app.
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> perhaps vlock. :)
[13:13] <Shervin> Hi, I'm trying to install rtorrent and when i "make" it comes up with /usr/local/lib/libxmlrpc.so: undefined reference to `xmlrpc_XML_GetErrorString'
[13:13] <Shervin> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[13:13] <Shervin> make[3]: *** [rtorrent] Error 1
[13:14] <jrib> Shervin: rtorrent is in the repositories, use APT
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> nick_name:  im just apt-cache search console | grep lock   or trying other search terms..
[13:14] <nick_name> Dr_Willis: k ty
[13:14] <Sonne> Shervin, rtorrent is included in ubuntu, why are you compiling it?
[13:14] <Shervin> jrib: does it include xmlrpc-c?
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Shervin:  did yoi install all the needed dependencies  and dev files needed?
[13:14] <snapp> hi
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Sonne:  he may want the latest version for one thing.
[13:14] <Shervin> Dr_Willis: yeah, i'm pretty sure
[13:14] <jrib> Shervin: I don't know
[13:15] <snapp> i get this error:  su -m openldap bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
[13:15] <snapp> any idea?
[13:15] <majidkhan> LjL: what would be "whatever" for external harddrive
[13:15] <majidkhan> ?
[13:15] <Sonne> Shervin, it depends on xmlrpc libs, so i'd assume the ubuntu packages supports it
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> Shervin:  you used  the  sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGENAME    to pull them all in? (i think thats right)
[13:15] <Guest34911> Is there a command to tell ubuntu to look for the sound card?
[13:15] <jrib> snapp: why are you doing that?
[13:16] <Shervin> Dr_Willis: It said that I didn't need to install anything
[13:16] <Sonne> snapp, that's to be expected, why are you using -m?
[13:16] <pider> I try again:<a href='http://bildr.no/view/853077'>http://bildr.no/view/853077</a>
[13:16] <Pici> pider: Don't use html/forum linking tags here, they don't work.  Just give us the url.
[13:16] <thevishy> can anyone tell me why this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/586824/
[13:16] <dr0id> there was this tool that counts the lines of code in a codebase
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> Shervin:  i compiled it once.. ages ago.  Youy may want to see if theres a ppa for it with newer versions
[13:16] <dr0id> canyone remember the name ?
[13:16] <snapp> jrib: because i have problem with a command hence i have need of su -m openldap
[13:16] <Pici> dr0id: wc -l ?
[13:16] <majidkhan> what is the dev/... for external hdd?
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> majidkhan:  could be anything.. /dev/sdXX
[13:17] <jrib> snapp: what command do you have a problem with that requires you to do "su -m openldap"?
[13:17] <dr0id> Pici: don't think so
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> majidkhan:  check with 'sudo fdisk -l' perhaps
[13:17] <Shervin> Dr_Willis: ok i'll try those things out. Thanks guys :)
[13:17] <snapp> Sonne: because?
[13:17] <dr0id> anyone ?
[13:17] <snapp> that's to be expected?
[13:18] <dr0id> the tool that can count the lines of code in a codebase
[13:18] <dr0id> I had isntalled it few days ago, just forgot the name
[13:18] <dr0id> so lame
[13:18] <dr0id> can't find the command in my bash_history either :('
[13:18] <Guest34911> Reinstalling Ubuntu would be overkill just to fix a sound issue, right?
[13:18] <ohsix> Guest34911: yes
[13:18] <majidkhan> Dr_Willis: what does "sd" stand for in this context?
[13:18] <Guest34911> sorry, I'm just confused, and I'm trying to solve it on my own, I really am. :D
[13:19] <ohsix> majidkhan: scsi device
[13:19] <pider> I try again: http://bildr.no/view/853077;-)
[13:19] <jrib> !sound > Guest34911
[13:19] <ohsix> Guest34911: post the output of dmesg to a pastebin
[13:19] <pider> http://bildr.no/view/853077
[13:20]  * Alonea is convinced pulseaudio is evil
[13:20] <cdbs> Alonea: not always, moreover this is not a channel to post your opinions like that
[13:20] <majidkhan> can anyone tell me terminal command to mount ext hdd
[13:20] <ohsix> Alonea: more like deluded ;]
[13:21] <Alonea> cdbs: jeez, its just a damn joke. the thing doesn't work on my system so I got rid of it, everything now works fine.
[13:21] <ohsix> pider: open a terminal and copy the output of rfkill list and dmesg to a pastebin
[13:21] <Guest34911> ohsix, I copied the input of dmesg
[13:21] <Guest34911> I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong channel
[13:21] <cdbs> majidkhan: why ? Isn't it automounting?
[13:21] <ohsix> Alonea: blah blah blah, good job fixing the bug that was keeping it from working, you just made everything quantifiably worse
[13:21] <Guest34911> I didn't realize there were so many channels lol
[13:21] <Alonea> ohsix: ya know what. go fuck yourself
[13:22] <majidkhan> cdbs: no its not the point, im trying to find out what it emits (as in terminal output) when i mount it
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> majidkhan:  sudo mount /dev/sdXY  /media/MAKEADIRECTORYFIRST -t filesystemtouse -o options
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> !mount | majidkhan
[13:22] <ohsix> peoples definition of working is always very specious too ;]
[13:22] <denismfm> having problems with belkin surf f7d1102 on a fairly old 32 bit laptop, have followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815 and dmesg shows "usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl819xu", "system/network tools/devices" list includes wlan0, shows mac 85 62 9e xx xx xx so I assume hardware is talking to adapter but it doesn't seem to be trying to connect to the network, ssid and pw match the one on this working 10.10 64 bit with built in wirele
[13:22] <cdbs> majidkhan: The command name is mount, and you mount things like this: sudo mount /dev/usbmon0 /media/usb-drive
[13:22] <Guest34911> Wow Alonea was a jerk
[13:22] <Shervin> Ok so i installed rtorrent from the repositories and i got this: rtorrent: Could not lock session directory: "/home/sherwin/.rtorrent/session/", No such file or directory
[13:22] <theinkman21> i was wondering why k9copy keeps crashing and if there is any method to fixing it
[13:22] <Guest34911> *is
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> servet:  make the directory perhaps...
[13:23] <cdbs> majidkhan: follow what Dr_Willis , my command is incomplete
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> oops that was for Shervin
[13:23] <yacc> majidkhan, you can also run dmesg to see what the kernel emits on mount.
[13:23] <Boylorn> :S
[13:23] <Boylorn> FUUUUUUUUUU
[13:23] <nick_name> !language | Boylorn
[13:23] <nick_name> :P
[13:23] <Shervin> Dr_Willis: haa sorry :/
[13:24] <ohsix> family friendly is pretty sexist
[13:24] <ohsix> D:
[13:24] <theinkman21> does anyone know a method to stop k9copy from crashing
[13:24] <nick_name> i am friendly
[13:25] <ohsix> theinkman21: presumably it shouldn't be crashing, and that'd be a bug you'd want to tell the developers about
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> theinkman21:  run it from terminal. look for error messages. Ive rarely had it crash here.
[13:25] <[TK]D-Fender> Wow a lot of people are earning bans this morning (EST)
[13:25] <ohsix> theinkman21: you could try dvd95 instead
[13:25] <majidkhan> thanks guys
[13:25] <majidkhan> Dr_Willis: thanks
[13:25] <theinkman21> i dont know how to fully report a bug
[13:25] <majidkhan> cdbs: thanks
[13:25] <majidkhan> ubottu: thanks
[13:25] <ohsix> theinkman21: try dvd95 :D
[13:25] <majidkhan> yacc: thanks
[13:25] <theinkman21> ok
[13:26] <pider> http://paste.ubuntu.com/586836/
[13:27] <LjL> majidkhan: oh it's external? well i don't know, it might be /dev/sdb but you should find out with "mount" or "df"
[13:27] <snapp> nothing idea?
[13:27] <thevishy> Dr_Willis,  can you explain this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/586824/
[13:28] <ohsix> pider: "rfkill list" :]
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> majidkhan:  check output of 'sudo fdisk -l' or dmesg command a few moments afrter you plug it in
[13:28] <pumeust> i'm running testdisk and i'm copying files. how do i know when it's over? it says 'copying, please wait...' and its been hours
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> thevishy:  your key for opera servers are some how wrong.. shouldent affect installing of the nautilus-elemtary program
[13:29] <pider> http://paste.ubuntu.com/586837/
[13:29] <guibou> Sorry to ask again (after 24 hours), but anyone know a ppa for boost (>= 1.43) with python3 support ? (and all of this for maverick if possible ;)
[13:29] <ohsix> pumeust: it's over when it's over :D it can't count the number of files it finds as it might recover less or more, and without knowing something about it it can't really give you a time, are you watching the dir it's copying files too? it might give some idea of the progress
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> guibou:  i recall seeing some ppa-search tool that may help you find it if it esits
[13:30] <thevishy> thanks Dr_Willis
[13:30] <cgtdk> Where does VIM put the config file in Ubuntu (10.10)?
[13:30] <zvacet> thevishy:  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A2019EA84E7532C8
[13:30] <nick_name> how to set password for root?
[13:30] <ohsix> pider: hm, that bluetooth dialogue shouldn't be showing that button, the device should be working
[13:30] <ohsix> !root | nick_name
[13:30] <pumeust> ohsix,  i'm not sure how to find the dir
[13:30] <guibou> Dr_Willis: apart from the ppa builtin search, I dont find anything else ?
[13:31] <ohsix> nick_name: you do it with passwd like anything else, but you really should use sudo, if you want a root shell use sudo -s
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> guibou:  proberly not one then.
[13:31] <yacc> majidkhan, you can also look at /dev/disk/by-*
[13:31] <thevishy> zvacet, does seem to afftect Opera there I think
[13:31] <thevishy> still shows the same error
[13:31] <nick_name> ohsix: why live cd can access as root without prompting for password?
[13:31] <yacc> majidkhan, take makes for slightly better names than the usual /dev/sd?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> nick_name:  because its set up that way.
[13:32] <nick_name> Dr_Willis: canIprotect it?
[13:32] <ohsix> nick_name: because that's useful, also; the "ubuntu" account has no password, thus it doesn't ask you for "ubuntu"-s password to change to root
[13:32] <yacc> majidkhan, and if you want to mount some device always at the same path, the uuid is probably the thing you want to look at.
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> nick_name:  you mean add a password for root to the live cd.. guess you could. i dont see why.
[13:32] <zvacet> thevishy: check if you have partner repository ( I think Opera is there)
[13:32] <ohsix> nick_name: if you set a passwd for the "ubuntu" account it'll ask for it when you use sudo
[13:32] <thevishy> zvacet, http://paste.ubuntu.com/586838/
[13:32] <thevishy> right zva
[13:32] <nick_name> hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[13:33] <mohmad> hi all
[13:33] <nick_name> ohsix: so livecd root uses ubuntu account and i just need to  set password for it?
[13:33] <ohsix> nick_name: yes
[13:33] <nick_name> passwdubuntu ?
[13:33] <nick_name> what is the command pls
[13:33] <ohsix> put a space in the middle
[13:34] <ohsix> in a terminal "passwd ubuntu"
[13:34] <nick_name> oops
[13:34] <nick_name> ty
[13:34] <pumeust> ohsix,  when i tried testdisk the last time i saw 'dir_recup' folders but this time it seems to be different, i dont know where they're being copied to
[13:34] <ohsix> theres a user management applet in the system -> menu but i haven't had a useful chance to use it
[13:34] <pider> ohsix: I have reinstalled the bluetooth software several times without any luck, i have a new ASUS X52JV with ubuntu 10.10 64b installed, any bug reported?
[13:34] <ohsix> pumeust: ah, i've not used it in a while, i couldn't say
[13:35] <nick_name> ohsix: it shows ubuntu user does not exist
[13:35] <nick_name> :(
[13:35] <guibou> Dr_Willis: Currently, appart from testing every boost ppa, there is no way to know if they support python 3 ;) Btw, thank for your proposition
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> of coruse setting a password on a live cd. wont set it permently. Unless you are using a live-usb with a persistant save perhaps.
[13:35] <nick_name> ohsix: im using ubuntu server btw
[13:35] <ohsix> nick_name: then that's not a livecd bro
[13:35] <nick_name> i know
[13:36] <ohsix> pider: i don't know if there has, you'd do well to check launchpad.net's bugs; and possibly googling information about your controller, or try and find threads with the bluetooth side of the software (bluez, gnome) and the linux kernel mailing lists for bluetooth
[13:36] <nick_name> ohsix: anyone with access to livecd can    change my system as root?
[13:36] <ohsix> nick_name: anyone with physical access to your computer can do anything, far worse things than changing a password
[13:37] <nick_name> ok so there is no need for passwords
[13:37] <nick_name> i neeed to disable cdrom on boot
[13:37] <nick_name> lol
[13:37] <nick_name> for everyone
[13:37] <soop> nick_name: I don't think you can deploy bios settings
[13:38] <nick_name> deploy?
[13:38] <soop> nick_name:  but you can pull it out of fstab
[13:38] <nick_name> sry my english is not that good
[13:38] <Pumpkin-> nick_name: physical access is always a pretty tricky issue to solve.
[13:38] <soop> nick_name: remove the fstab statement for /dev/cdrom
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> encase the PC in epoxy :)
[13:38] <nick_name> :P
[13:38] <pider> ohsix: thanks! I will try to find a solution later!
[13:39] <ohsix> soop: that won't keep them from booting it with the bios
[13:39] <Pumpkin-> what you might need, if you are worried about people booting your machine from CD, or stealing the hard drive or whatever, is going to be full disk encryption.
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> soop:  i dont think there is one for the cdrom by default.. gnome auto-mounts it as needed
[13:39] <ohsix> pider: sorry i couldn't offer more
[13:39] <nick_name> soop: what is the command?
[13:39] <ohsix> pider: my experience with it is when it's working :]
[13:39] <iceblue> 大家好
[13:39] <soop> nick_name sudo nano -w /etc/fstab
[13:40] <soop> dr_willis: seriously? ... you'd think it would have to be told where its devices are ... it's not like a cdrom is a "hotplug" device~
[13:40] <ohsix> if you want a special password policy or special storage (ldap or something behind nss) you do that with pam, or nss; if you want people to not change the password, simply make it so pam refuses credential changes for that user
[13:40] <ohsix> Dr_Willis: he's using -server
[13:41] <ohsix> soop: and really, yes; no need for an fstab entries since udev wakes up the pertinent parts for udisks to know of something, and for something like nautilus to automount it
[13:42] <nick_name> so what do i  do with fstab
[13:42] <kubanc> anybody ever tried to test   USB C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter. the speaker channel is working OK, but the MIC input is not working...
[13:42] <hareldvd> using wget I want it to store in different file name.
[13:42] <guampa> nick_name: in any case editing fstab or otherwise preventing cdrom from mounting won't stop anyone from booting from a livecd into your comp
[13:42] <nick_name> ye
[13:42] <pumeust> why does my system monitor say '1.1 GiB of 5.8 GiB' when my pc has 6gb ram?
[13:42] <nick_name> thats why i talked about the bios
[13:42] <nick_name> :D
[13:42] <ohsix> and it won't stop someone from running "mount"
[13:42] <zeroburn> kubanc: edit your sound preferences to use the input from them
[13:43] <phoenixsampras> does ubuntu comes with firewall? how to disable it?
[13:43] <ohsix> pumeust: some ram is used by the kernel and other things that aren't reported as usable to user space
[13:43] <nick_name> phoenixsampras: its disabled byd default
[13:43] <soop> nick_name: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/lockdown.html.en
[13:43] <zvacet> !ufw | phoenixsampras
[13:43] <ohsix> phoenixsampras: linux comes with a firewall
[13:43] <nick_name> soop: cannot use GUI
[13:43] <soop> nick_name so these systems aren't running gnome?
[13:43] <kubanc> zeroburn, i'm trying it, but it seems that nothing is working...
[13:43] <nick_name> browser for CLI?
[13:44] <nick_name> hehe
[13:44] <Pici> nick_name: w3m should already be installed.
[13:44] <soop> could you not change the permissions on mount?
[13:44] <pumeust> thanks ohsix i was wondering if something was wrong with the ram
[13:44] <owner> 有没有人在？
[13:44] <zeroburn> kubanc: explain what you are trying?
[13:44] <guampa> nick_name: links, lynx
[13:44] <soop> nick_name:   lynx ;)
[13:44] <Pici> guampa: w3m should be isntalled by default.
[13:44] <ohsix> nick_name: links is great
[13:44] <soop> nick_name sudo apt-get install lynx    <--- console based web browser
[13:44] <zvacet> nick_name: links
[13:44] <guampa> Pici: good to know
[13:44] <nick_name> nah forget im gonna use firefox 4
[13:44] <nick_name> cli version
[13:45] <theinkman21> im haveing trouble finding dvd95 software..any idea of a wesite or prompt
[13:45] <ljsoftnet> im a bit confused on computertemp, which should i select "ACPI", "kernel i2c sensors" or "kernel i2c sensors (hwmon)" to monitor the processor?
[13:45] <ohsix> theinkman21: it's in ubuntu's software center
[13:45] <theinkman21> but i cant connect to the internet
[13:45] <owner> 怎么都看不懂？？？
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> !info dvd95
[13:45] <LjL> !cn | owner
[13:45] <ohsix> ljsoftnet: it depends on what one works, i've never seen cpu sensors on i2c, you want to use ACPI, but even with acpi depending on your computer, might not report them
[13:46] <kubanc> zeroburn, i have an USB sound device, which has an input for speakers and input for microphone. the speaker channel is working, but the mic channel is not working... i need the mic channel for the singstar deluxe game
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> theinkman21:  its proberly a front end to other command line tools.. so it may be a bit tricky to just downlaod and isntall
[13:46] <ohsix> Dr_Willis: dig the package description, they go out of their way to mention the dependencies ;]
[13:46] <ohsix> * Needs no additional packages - onboard version of vamps and dvdauthor is used, to be as fast as possible.
[13:46] <ljsoftnet> ohsix ah ok
[13:47] <ohsix> ljsoftnet: other useful sensors can be on i2c though
[13:47] <theinkman21> i dont know
[13:47] <zeroburn> kubanc: oka try this: system-preference-sound, then under the tab that says input, you have a list of input devices, does your audio device show up there?
[13:47] <theinkman21> hmm that might work
[13:47] <k1ng> "wget  -O blah" will replace blah if i run "wget  -O blah" again?
[13:48] <anubis> hi, can anyone recommend a eps-viewer that has a next/prev button. gv doesnt have this feature afais
[13:48] <soop> nick_name: google is your friend ..... http://serverfault.com/questions/152434/how-to-disable-cd-rom-and-usb-for-normal-users-in-linux
[13:48] <kubanc> zeroburn, yes, i have internal audio analog stereo and audio adapter analog mono
[13:49] <ohsix> anubis: evince?
[13:49] <ohsix> soop: don't tell people to google, they wouldn't be here if they could solve their problem that way
[13:49] <zeroburn> kubanc: try selecting the second one "adapter" one. That should be your USB harware
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> ohsix:  and those deps need other deps and so on and so on..... back to  the kernel. :)
[13:49] <theinkman21> i think i found it
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> ive had no issues withj k9copy - so ive never tried the other apps
[13:50] <ohsix> you should try dvd95
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> I rarely need to copy a dvd these days. :)
[13:51] <pumeust> when i click on the disk that testdisk is copying from, it says 'Unable to mount location Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 21: fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy.' does that mean its unmounted or busy??
[13:51] <ohsix> it's a shame that none that i know of actually work like dvdshrink, dvdshrink does bitrate shaving and is very fast
[13:51] <pumeust> oh i'm sorry disregard my last question
[13:52] <pumeust> it was the wrong disk sorry lol
[13:52] <k1ng> how do i disable retry of wget?
[13:52] <k1ng> Connecting to thefisherman.com|75.99.9.14|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> I dont think you want to be trying to access a disk while testdisk is working on it.
[13:52] <pizzas> I want to find my ip so I tried ifconfig. Which # is my ip which I can use on my host windows machine to share folders?
[13:53] <zeroburn> kubanc: has that corrected your prolem?
[13:53] <pumeust> but then again i still dont know if its unmounted or busy
[13:53] <pumeust> but then again i still dont know if its unmounted or busy
[13:53] <soop> pizzas: probably eth0
[13:53] <theinkman21> dvd95_1.2p0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb this is the file i downloaded should it work
[13:53] <pumeust> Dr_Willis, oh i didnt know, i been accessing it, i better stop
[13:54] <zeroburn> pizzas: the number after inet addr on the eth0 device
[13:54] <ohsix> theinkman21: you can have software center install it, you shouldn't need to look for any debs
[13:54] <pizzas> soop the eth0  inet addr:
[13:54] <majidkhan> im having problem with partition manager
[13:54] <soop> pizzas: or whichever one gives you an actual address of something like 10.something.something.something or 192.something.something.something
[13:54] <majidkhan> Move partition ‘/dev/sda4’ to the right by 97.00 KiB and shrink it from 150.51 GiB to 120.01 GiB: Error
[13:54] <LjL> majidkhan: ugh, you're trying to repartition an HDD that might be failing? :|
[13:55] <soop> pizzas: worstcase scenario ... ping your hostname from your windows machine ... it should resolve to the ip
[13:55] <soop> brb printing stuff
[13:55] <pizzas> soop that is right, got it. If I go to the windows host and try "run" then goto that ip, in never finds it.
[13:56] <pumeust> Dr_Willis, i'm thinking i should start over anyways...i dont even know where the files are being copied to. maybe i should start over and pay attention
[13:56] <bahaa> ubuntu is freezing very often and for trivial reasons, is there a way to know what's cosing it to freeze?
[13:56] <zeroburn> pizzas: do you have the samba client/server instaled on your ubuntu host?
[13:56] <quant> bahaa: freezing in what way?
[13:56] <ohsix> bahaa: how do you know its trivial if you don't know what it is?:D
[13:56] <majidkhan> NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
[13:56] <majidkhan> The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was
[13:56] <majidkhan> and will be made to NTFS by this software until it gets repaired.
[13:56] <majidkhan> why is it?
[13:56] <FloodBot3> majidkhan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:56] <pizzas> zeroburn: yes samba is installed on ubuntu
[13:57] <soop> majidkhan chkdsk /r implies /f ;)
[13:57] <zeroburn> pizzas: can you ping from your ubuntu machine to your windows machine with IP?
[13:57] <bahaa> quant, ohsix: it just stops responding, and I cant' even move the mouse or do anything, the last time was one minute ago, when I switched between pidgin and firefox
[13:58] <quant> bahaa: it's probably a hardware overheating problem
[13:58] <pumeust> Dr_Willis, is there any harm in running testdisk over and over on a disk if its not damaged? it may take me a few tries before i figure it out
[13:58] <pizzas> zeroburn: I do not know how to do that
[13:58] <ruan> how can i rip an icon from an .exe file without screenshot?
[13:58] <bahaa> quant, I don't think so, the computer is cold, I think it's software
[13:58] <pizzas> zeroburn: from where do I do that? how?
[13:59] <ruan> nevermind, got a png
[13:59] <LjL> !info icoutils | ruan
[13:59] <zeroburn> pizzas: oka go to console on your ubuntu (also called terminal) and type "Ping <IP of windows machine>
[13:59] <ruan> LjL: thanks anyway
[13:59] <ruan> i'll use it in future
[13:59] <bahaa> is there any log for what happens when system freezes?
[13:59] <ruan> bahaa: syslog?
[14:00] <zeroburn> pizzas: terminal can be found at Applications - accesories - terminal
[14:00] <bahaa> ruan, I'll try, does it record what happened before a force reboot?
[14:00] <ruan> bahaa: possibly
[14:00] <ohsix> bahaa: are you running natty? or do you have an intel video card
[14:00] <littlebearz1> (zeroburn): ping sometimes get blocked though
[14:00] <pizzas> zeroburn: I know where the terminal is but not my windows ip :|
[14:01] <bahaa> ohsix, I think it's msi
[14:01] <bahaa> ohsix, what's natty?
[14:01] <bahaa> ohsix, kernal driver?
[14:01] <ruan> !natty | bahaa
[14:01] <aron__> how can i check my svn version?
[14:01] <ruan> aron__: which svn application?
[14:02] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[14:02] <zeroburn> pizzas: shoe havent worked op windows in looooong time... try in the command prompt typing ipconfig? I think, ill boot a vmware windows just now to follow your steps
[14:02] <bahaa> ruan, ubottu: I'm ruunig mavrik koala :D, 10.10
[14:02] <ruan> aron__: look for an help/'about' menu though
[14:02] <ohsix> bahaa: look at the output of lspci for something like 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[14:03] <denismfm> hmm,now trying ndiswrapper, driver is loaded according to ndiswrapper but no inrterface in system/admin/network tools / devices
[14:03] <ruan> bahaa: maverick meerkat
[14:03] <jrib> aron__: svn --version   for the package: apt-cache policy subversion)
[14:03] <bahaa> ruan, thanks:)
[14:03] <bahaa> ohsix, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550]
[14:03] <ohsix> bahaa: ok, then you dont, thanks
[14:03] <aron__> ruan and jrib: thanks.
[14:03] <bahaa> ohsix, thank you
[14:03] <ohsix> bahaa: does the mouse cursor still move during these freezes?
[14:03] <bahaa> ohsix, nope
[14:04] <pizzas> zeroburn: got it to work with ipconfig
[14:04] <ohsix> bahaa: ok, i haven't got much to suggest then :\
[14:04] <bahaa> ohsix, thanks
[14:04] <denismfm> nm, net just came up
[14:04] <ohsix> bahaa: there are logs in /var/log though, you can scour them for information if it isn't a kernel panic
[14:05] <zeroburn> pizzas: oka yes i see it is the correct command, now the line that says "IP-address" is your LAN IP, the one you want to ping from your ubuntu machine
[14:05] <ruan> how do LAN ips work? every machine that is on the same internet connection?
[14:05] <bahaa> ohsix, I'm reading in syslog, but the problem it gives PID not apps names
[14:05] <pizzas> zeroburn: when I ping it keeps repeating a string of numbers
[14:06] <MeanEYE> ruan: IPv4? And can you be more specific with your question?
[14:06] <ohsix> ruan: dhcp gives them out,  or they are static; other machines that want to contact machines in the lan ask who owns which ip, and get a mac address in the reply; then they communicate directly
[14:06] <bahaa> I'm using ubuntu desktop over xubuntu, can I make it pure ubuntu without reinstallation ?
[14:06] <zeroburn> pizzas: oka goto paste.ubuntu.com and paste the output of the ping command, and please leave the url after you pasted here for me to chek the output
[14:06] <ruan> MeanEYE: yeah ipv4
[14:07] <MeanEYE> ruan: what specificially are you interested in?
[14:07] <ohsix> bahaa: yep, just install ubuntu-desktop, it's a virtual package that will bring everything in
[14:07] <ohsix> bahaa: after that,  if you want; you cvan remove xubuntu-desktop and the packages no longer being used should be cleaned up
[14:08] <bahaa> ohsix, I have ubuntu-desktop but the login and such are all xubuntu
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> bahaa:  theres ways to change them back. but i rarely bother. :)
[14:08] <ohsix> bahaa: i'm not sure how to switch all the theming if you already have ubuntu-desktop installed
[14:08] <ruan> MeanEYE: well, how they are assigned
[14:08] <bahaa> ohsix, and even I've read xubuntu in syslog
[14:08] <bahaa> even I'm not using it
[14:08] <bahaa> !!
[14:08] <pizzas> zeroburn ok I did that
[14:09] <jjp> ruan: they can be assigned automatically if a dhcp server exists on the net, or manually
[14:09] <zeroburn> bahaa: system - administration - login acreen
[14:09] <MeanEYE> ruan: they can be either static or dynamic. Static ones you assign by hand. Dynamic ones are assigned by DHCP server.
[14:09] <pizzas> zeroburn 192.168.1.33
[14:09] <zeroburn> pizzas: oka the last part of the url is a few digits, i need them to view your paste
[14:09] <bahaa> zeroburn, how to get red of it?
[14:10] <ChogyDan> anyone know about kernel tunables?
[14:10] <pizzas> zeroburn a few digits? I am not sure what you mean
[14:10] <zeroburn> bahaa: red or rid? dont you want the login screen to show?
[14:10] <ohsix> ChogyDan: which ones, they're all documented in Documentation/ in your typical kernel tree
[14:10] <bahaa> zeroburn, I want the box to be pure ubuntu
[14:11] <zeroburn> pizzas: after you pasted the console output of the ping command at http://pate.ubuntu.com it redirects you to another page, and i need that page's URL to view the paste you made
[14:11] <bahaa> I'm afraid it's making trouble
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> bahaa:  xubuntu uses gdm and just set a differnt gdm theme i belive.
[14:11] <ChogyDan> ohsix: specifically, Im trying to find out about sampling_down_factor.  I'll look for that Documentation folder
[14:11] <zeroburn> bahaa: oka, bottom right there is a button that says unlock, click it to unlock the settings (it will ask for a password)
[14:11] <pizzas> zeroburn http://paste.ubuntu.com/586851/
[14:12] <bahaa> zeroburn, you're talking in xubuntu?
[14:12] <ohsix> ChogyDan: cpu-freq/governors.txt
[14:12] <bahaa> zeroburn, or in login?
[14:12] <pizzas> zeroburn I only pasted one line, it goes on and on like that I can not stop it in fact.
[14:12] <zeroburn> pizzas: oka that means your ubuntu machine sees the windows machine
[14:12] <ohsix> ChogyDan: considering this is what you're interested in, what are you actually trying to do?
[14:12] <zeroburn> pizzas: ctrl C
[14:13] <zeroburn> bahaa: after you are loged in
[14:13] <pizzas> zeroburn :) that stopped it
[14:13] <ChogyDan> ohsix: test it  :)   see how much it boosts performance
[14:13] <bahaa> zeroburn, in xubuntu or ubuntu-dsktop-edition ?
[14:13] <zeroburn> pizzas: its the escape sequence for any console command, remember it :)
[14:13] <ohsix> i hope performance isn't as vague as it actually is as stated ;]
[14:14] <zeroburn> bahaa: rather boot into the plain ubuntu, that way i can follow your steps..
[14:14] <pizzas> zeroburn that would be hot tip number 007  I will remember it
[14:14] <ohsix> ChogyDan: you can turn off the governor and run the cpus at 100% too; default values are pretty good to follow "Average" workloads
[14:14] <bahaa> zeroburn, where should I press?
[14:14] <zeroburn> bahaa: where are you atm? in the loging screen settings?
[14:15] <ohsix> ChogyDan: you're pretty much just trading off for power, too; and if power isn't a concern you could just disable it and it'll go all fast, all the time; wasting all the energy in the world ;]
[14:15] <ChogyDan> ohsix: fwiw, the ondemand governor saps about %30 of my cpu strength
[14:15] <bahaa> zeroburn, I'm using the box, so I'm in ubuntu-desktop using xchat
[14:15] <zeroburn> pizzas: haha noprob. Oka now can your windows machine see your ubuntu machine with a ping?
[14:15] <xskydevilx> Can I install Gnome 3 on Maverick and be able to select it from the logon screen together with the old gnome or does it just replaces the old one?
[14:15] <zeroburn> bahaa: oka good, now open up System - Administration - Login screen
[14:16] <ohsix> ChogyDan: if thats the case you want to adjust the tunable that picks transitioning to higher power/speed states,  not transition down
[14:16] <ericJinOhio> i got a new router using wpa security..my internet works, but every 10 minutes or so it stops for about 30 seconds..any ideas?
[14:16] <bahaa> zeroburn, ok
[14:16] <redevil> hello
[14:17] <zeroburn> bahaa: oka now bottom left there is a button that says unlock, press it and type in the password of the current account
[14:17] <bahaa> zeroburn, I've selected ubuntu
[14:17] <Onepamopa> HI all, Im having very strange problem, Im using ssh keys to login from remote machine to my server, passing su root -c /root/script.sh script_var
[14:17] <Onepamopa> but the script doesnt recieve script_var
[14:17] <bahaa> zeroburn, I've selected ubuntu-desktop-edition
[14:17] <pizzas> zeroburn: no it timed out
[14:17] <Onepamopa> anyone knows whys that ?!
[14:17] <zeroburn> bahaa: then that should be the defaul sesion when you log in from now on
[14:18] <Onepamopa> hi all
[14:18] <bahaa> zeroburn, and before the login there is this screen that shows xubuntu with the mouse icon, do you know it/
[14:18] <Onepamopa> im having very strange issue here
[14:18] <shahid_> hi
[14:18] <shahid_> Slaam everyone
[14:18] <bahaa> zeroburn, how can I replace xubuntu with ubuntu and the buttons turning on and off below it?
[14:18] <zeroburn> pizzas: oka, so the problem is either firewall or your ubuntu machine, explain your network settup please, aswell as any antivirus software you have
[14:18] <BluesKaj> ericJinOhio, sounds like the router is doing some kind essid/broadcast recycle
[14:19] <zeroburn> bahaa: you mean the bootscreen?
[14:19] <bahaa> zeroburn, yes
[14:20] <asiekierka> so i'm in problems again
[14:20] <zeroburn> bahaa: oka give me sec
[14:20] <ericJinOhio> I have a windows 7 and ps3 too...it doesn't occur on there..or its so fast its not noticeable..that at least gives me something to google though
[14:20] <asiekierka> my SD card got corrupted (dmesg shows a few Filesystem Errors)
[14:20] <pizzas> zeroburn: My host is a 32bit win vista with kaspersky internet security 2011 and I am running a ubuntu 10.10 on a virtualbox
[14:21] <asiekierka> fixing or formatting the card is not a problem for me, but it is for Ubuntu (Read-only file system no matter if i try doing it via gui, the disk utility or mkfs.msdos)
[14:21] <bildramer> I think I filled my HD and now my VM can't run
[14:21] <bildramer> I'll probably have to redo everything
[14:21] <bahaa> zeroburn, where can I delet a package that update manager has downloaded? (like apt-get claer does)
[14:21] <bildramer> let me write down the error, I can't quite paste it from there
[14:21] <pizzas> zeroburn: I just paused protection of kaspersky and tryed the ping again with no luck
[14:21] <ohsix> ericJinOhio: is it an 802.11n device & router?
[14:21] <asiekierka> oh hi bildramer
[14:22] <ChogyDan> ohsix: up_threshold?    I dunno.  The sampling_down_factor was supposed to prevent the cpu from changing frequencies as much, which I think was my prob.  It would bump up to a higher freq, than drop down, bouncing between 2 cores.  Anyway, I really don't know.  I don't even see the documentation  for that tunable :(
[14:22] <bahaa> zeroburn, I want to reinstall the latest kernal so maybe it fixes the freeze prob
[14:22] <ericJinOhio> no, G
[14:22] <ohsix> ChogyDan: it's in Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt
[14:22] <bghj> hello, how can i activate the nvidia driver?
[14:22] <dyd> how can i make nautilus open all folders with 33% view size? setting that on edit--->preferences in nautilus won't fix it, when i open some folders i never opened they are shown at 50%
[14:22] <zeroburn> bahaa: /etc/apt
[14:22] <ChogyDan> ohsix: what version of the kernel?
[14:23] <ohsix> it's a git tree, but it's been there for as long as the governors have been
[14:23] <zeroburn> pizzas: hmmm thats funny, the ubuntu machine, does it get its networksettings from a DHCP server (such as a router)
[14:23] <bahaa> zeroburn, didn't work, I want the packages with .dep
[14:23] <zeroburn> bahaa: look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-210268.html
[14:24] <BluesKaj> bghj, admin/additional hardware
[14:24] <bildramer> problem with config server, gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256
[14:24] <bildramer> what could that be?
[14:24] <ohsix> ericJinOhio: is the client an intel wireless card?
[14:24] <zeroburn> bahaa: /var/cache/apt/archives
[14:24] <pizzas> zeroburn: you ask things I do not know :|  I do not know how to check that either.
[14:24] <bghj> how to restart my xserver?
[14:25] <ericJinOhio> let me check..i know its an older wifi card (4+ years)
[14:25] <bghj> thanks BluesKaj
[14:25] <bahaa> zeroburn, that's it
[14:25] <zeroburn> pizzas: oka, how is the 2 PCs connected to each other?
[14:25] <ohsix> bghj: log out, then log back in
[14:25] <pizzas> zeroburn: this is one pc
[14:25] <ChogyDan> ohsix: I'm pretty sure the sampling_down_factor was added 3 months ago
[14:25] <bghj> ohsix: i'd like to do it another way
[14:25] <ohsix> ChogyDan: ok
[14:25] <pizzas> zeroburn: ubuntu is in a virtualbox
[14:25] <ohsix> ChogyDan: Date:   Tue Jan 25 20:12:41 2011 +0530
[14:25] <zeroburn> bahaa: oka awsum, did you read the forum I reffered you to, for the splash screen change..
[14:25] <ohsix> to be exact :D
[14:26] <ohsix> ChogyDan: but it says documentation was added, not the parameter
[14:26] <zeroburn> pizzas: oooh that changes the whole ball game, what virtual box do you use?
[14:26] <bahaa> zeroburn, I'm reading it
[14:26] <BluesKaj> bghj, why do you want to stop xserver?
[14:26] <pizzas> zeroburn: Oracle VM virtualbox
[14:27] <zeeek> hello
[14:27] <zeroburn> pizzas: oka gimme a sec
[14:27] <dashs> What happened to the intrepid archive??
[14:27] <asiekierka> great, it gets sillier
[14:27] <Guest91351> lol
[14:27] <asiekierka> not only i can't format the SD card because of fat filesystem errors making it read-only
[14:27] <asiekierka> now i accidentally ejected the whole SD card reader
[14:27] <ChogyDan> ohsix: and on google, it says that it and the documentation have been removed, even though I still see the tunable on my machine  (which is 2.6.38 atm)     o well, Im confused   :)
[14:27] <asiekierka> and as it's internal i can't just (un)plug it
[14:27] <bahaa> zeroburn, thanks I'm giving it a shot, but isn't it a problem that they are working on 6.06? (so old)
[14:27] <ohsix> asiekierka: i love doing that! haha
[14:28] <asiekierka> ohsix is only a reebot left
[14:28] <ohsix> asiekierka: you can try rmmod usb-storage, then modprobe usb-storage
[14:28] <asiekierka> root@asie-ubuntu:/etc# rmmod usb-storage
[14:28] <asiekierka> ERROR: Module usb_storage is in use
[14:28] <asiekierka> your ubuntu is trolling
[14:28] <ohsix> ChogyDan: my tree is current, theres no removal in the log
[14:28] <ericJinOhio> it's a Ralink RT2500, i did a lshw (not sure if thats the best way)
[14:28] <zeroburn> bahaa: no not realy, the basics stay the same, or try: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Change-Ubuntu-Bootsplash-Theme-55237.shtml
[14:28] <asiekierka> so not only i can't format a card to fix it because it's corrupted
[14:28] <asiekierka> now i can't remove a module because it's in use
[14:28] <asiekierka> one momet
[14:28] <asiekierka> moment*
[14:29] <zeroburn> pizzas: I dont know the virtual box you are using
[14:29] <ohsix> ericJinOhio: those problems are either in the client and its driver, or in the qos/power options the router might be doing
[14:29] <asiekierka> fixed THAT, at least
[14:29] <ohsix> ericJinOhio: but all the specific cases i'm familiar with have been excluded
[14:30] <ozrani> hi
[14:30] <asiekierka> that didn't help
[14:30] <asiekierka> reboot it is
[14:30] <ericJinOhio> I'll try to get an updated driver...if other machines are fine, maybe it's just specific to this machine
[14:30] <zeroburn> pizzas: read the help file at: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Advanced_Networking_Linux   that might give you some insight into how to setup the network
[14:30] <ohsix> ericJinOhio: well, you can try the module backports if you want a "newer" driver; don't install the vendor driver or anything from source if you can help it
[14:31] <ericJinOhio> when you do a lshw, does that really detect the hardware or just the driver operating it?
[14:31] <ohsix> ericJinOhio: but given the timeframe and the device, i don't know of any big fixes that would be pertient
[14:31] <ohsix> ericJinOhio: it asks the OS, checks lspci, does a few things, it's just a uniform way to look at stuff a certain way
[14:31] <BluesKaj> ericJinOhio, sudo lshw -C network
[14:31] <ericJinOhio> debating if I need to open the machine up and see whats really inside
[14:32] <bahaa> zeroburn, cool :) I've never thought about what I've read now :) ( a personal splash login screen ;) )
[14:32] <ohsix> ericJinOhio: lspci would be the final word; cuz if the device is lying about its vendor/device id; it won't work anyways
[14:32] <bahaa> zeroburn, but I think I'll leave it to the weekend :D
[14:32] <zeroburn> bahaa: haha, its one way to present yourself a "geek" to your friends :D
[14:32] <pizzas> zeroburn:http://www.virtualbox.org/
[14:33] <zeroburn> bahaa: well enjoy poking around
[14:34] <bahaa> zeroburn, thanks man :D
[14:34] <denismfm> hmm, I need to "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" each time I reboot for the usb wireless adapter to become visible - where's the best place and how to automate that?
[14:34] <ericJinOhio> ok, confident I know what cards inside...at least I have something to google now, thank you all
[14:34] <bahaa> zeroburn, ohsix, ruan, : thanks a lot guys.
[14:34] <zeroburn> pizzas: the networking between host and guest seems to be troublesome on this software you use, look at the http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_HOWTOS page and you'll se what I mean, so many tutorials just on network setup
[14:35] <zeroburn> bahaa: any time :)
[14:35] <ohsix> denismfm: the best thing to do is find out why the real driver isn't working for the device, or if one exists
[14:36] <denismfm> ohsix I spent 3 hours trying to make the real driver work before going the ndiswrapper path
[14:36] <denismfm> ohsix fyi my earlier request: having problems with belkin surf f7d1102 on a fairly old 32 bit laptop, have followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815 and dmesg shows "usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl819xu", "system/network tools/devices" list includes wlan0, shows mac 85 62 9e xx xx xx so I assume hardware is talking to adapter but it doesn't seem to be trying to connect to the network, ssid and pw match the one on this working 10.
[14:37] <zeroburn> denismfm: try adding the command you use as a "startup aplication" might solve your problem, it ugly, but should work
[14:37] <ohsix> ah
[14:38] <ohsix> denismfm: did you try installing the module backports, it includes updated drivers
[14:38] <Frots> hi guys
[14:38] <jcapinc> so I just configured vpnc but it is vpn for all services, is there any way to configure a vpn to only redirect one service and not all of them?
[14:39] <denismfm> ohsix - any suggestion where I can find it - problem machine has no net conn so I need to dl to another machine and transfer by usb stick
[14:39] <Frots> I have an nvidia GT218 and am trying to get dual monitors with xrandr, currently xrandr only show one screen and output
[14:39] <Anon904> hello all :)
[14:39] <Frots> I have duplicate screens now
[14:39] <zeroburn> chez guys
[14:39] <ohsix> jcapinc: a vpn is a network connection, so all traffic will go over it; if you want to proxy one thing you want a tunnel, be it ssh or tor or whatever
[14:39] <ohsix> denismfm: it's in the package manager
[14:40] <Anon904> not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but...i cant get on an irc channel i want to get on, says im banned, is there a way i can set up ubuntu to auto proxy when i go to a IRC ?
[14:40] <pizzas> zeroburn: yes I would agree, I have been at it for  a long time with endless frustration. Is there a much better virtual machine out there?
[14:40] <zech_> does any1 play black ops?
[14:40] <ohsix> denismfm: i'm on natty so i can't tell you the package name, but apt-cache search backports should have a package with wireless in the name in it
[14:40] <denismfm> ohsix great, but this is a 64bit m/c and the other is 32 bit, so using package manager to get it from this ,m/c will get the 64 bit one
[14:40] <Anon904> zech, wrong place =/
[14:40] <zech_> ok lol nvm
[14:40] <zech_> you guy do php?
[14:40] <jcapinc> ohsix, I know, I have a socks tunnel running just fine, but that does not work for everything
[14:41] <pizzas> zeroburn: this is just the first free one that i came accross
[14:41] <zech_> or html? or both?
[14:41] <iceroot> !ot | zech_
[14:41] <Anon904> i know a little html
[14:41] <Anon904> not much
[14:43] <Roasted__> I'm trying to set the NTP time on my LTSP thin client servers to match up with our time server here at work. But it's not pulling the correct time. Some do, some don't. It's not a solid 100% are right or 100% are wrong. Where can I go with this?
[14:43] <Samuel2> is it possible to run sabnzbdplus as a deamon?
[14:44] <ohsix> Roasted__: if the skew is too much ntp wont even try; you need to kick it to something close with ntpdate or something
[14:44] <iceroot> Samuel2: sure
[14:44] <iceroot> Samuel2: it is a daemon
[14:44] <Samuel2> I did /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start
[14:44] <Samuel2> and then it starts
[14:44] <tuxx-> noh :X
[14:45] <Samuel2> but after reboot its not running
[14:45] <denismfm> ohsix ok, managed to find the package and dl it
[14:45] <Roasted__> ohsix, uh, what? where do I run ntpdate? on my servers or the clients or what?
[14:45] <Samuel2> then I need to manual start it
[14:45] <ghzt> hello
[14:45] <iceroot> Samuel2: daemon doesnt mean its starting at boot
[14:45] <ghzt> i installed a new video card
[14:45] <ghzt> but the graphic quality is still very bad
[14:45] <ohsix> Samuel2: you need to add it to a runlevel to start with update-rc.d
[14:45] <ghzt> what's the problem here?
[14:45] <Samuel2> I see ohsix
[14:45] <ghzt> and how can i resolve that?
[14:45] <ohsix> Roasted__: the client, it's usually ran once at boot time
[14:45] <iceroot> !boot | Samuel2
[14:46] <Samuel2> would this do it?: sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start defaults
[14:46] <dyd> i have 2 users that belongs to ftp group, but if i set chown :ftp -R /var/ftp one use can't access. Why?
[14:47] <Samuel2> another question: is there a cli way to see if a deamon is running or not?
[14:47] <ghzt> how can i increase my video card quality?
[14:47] <BluesKaj> Roasted__, sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata , on the pcs with the wrong time
[14:47] <ohsix> dyd: the flags can still be wrong on those subdirectories, only allowing owner access; which you didn't change with that command
[14:47] <iceroot> Samuel2: service daemonname status
[14:47] <iceroot> !upstart | Samuel2
[14:48] <ghzt> how can i increase my video card quality?
[14:48] <Frots> no xrandr/nouveau guru's here?
[14:49] <sipior> ghzt: buy a nicer card?
[14:49] <sipior> ghzt: (if you want a real answer, ask a real question :-)
[14:50] <zheng_> I edit a crontab file myown.cron in /etc/cron.d, but it don't be called, why?
[14:50] <jeetu> how to install script during booting time
[14:50] <dyd> ohsix: damn, you were right... i set chmod 777 -R folder now works
[14:50] <Samuel2> is upstart GUI based?
[14:50] <jrib> zheng_: why aren't you using crontab -e to edit your crontab instead?
[14:50] <ghzt> sipior: i had the exact same issues with the other card, the board video device and the new video card. same poor quality and blurred icon "borders" and so on
[14:50] <ohsix> dyd: :O set them properly, 777 is read write execute everyone, group, owner
[14:50] <Samuel2> it seems Upstart is installed but I can't find it
[14:51] <sipior> zheng_: try removing the file suffix.
[14:51] <zeroburn> Hay i just accidently deleted a menu item from my main panel, but i cant remember what is was called, how can i undo the proccess?
[14:51] <erUSUL> Samuel2: no it is not gui
[14:51] <zheng_> jrib, I use my on file for backup .
[14:51] <zheng_> sipior, I will try.
[14:51] <Samuel2> when I do upstart in cli it says command not found??
[14:51] <jrib> zheng_: what?
[14:52] <DarsVaeda> Hi, i need to tunnel two ports from a remote host to my localhost so i could use the remote localhost as my localhost, i use ssh tunnel manager to tunnel and the tunnel is active, still if i put localhost in my browser it still fires up my browser
[14:52] <armando> zeroburn: just right click the menu and check the item
[14:52] <armando> on edit menud
[14:52] <armando> menus*
[14:52] <crash82> Hello I need a good msn client for ubuntu , pidgin crashes , empathy doesn't show certain contacts ...
[14:52] <ghzt> sipior: i had the exact same issues with the other card, the board video device and the new video card. same poor quality and blurred icon "borders" and so on
[14:52] <sipior> ghzt: if the problem is seen across multiple cards, i'd check the monitor and connections.
[14:52] <crash82> Any other sugestions ?
[14:52] <zheng_> jrib, a independent crontab file is simple for backup.
[14:52] <jeetu> erUSUL:how to install script during booting time
[14:52] <DirtyDawg> amsn
[14:52] <Poisonfibre> sudo apt-get install amsn
[14:53] <random_> amsn isn't bad
[14:53] <sipior> ghzt: you needn't repeat yourself, but it is considered courteous to give someone a chance to formulate a reply to what you've written.
[14:53] <jrib> zheng_: I don't see how
[14:53] <crash82> DirtyDawg, random_ Poisonfibre , amsn doesn't support multiple clients :S
[14:53] <jrib> zheng_: read « man cron » if you want to know about what /etc/cron.d/ is intended for (and how to use it)
[14:53] <crash82> DirtyDawg, random_ Poisonfibre , amsn doesn't support multiple clients :S I mean jabber
[14:53] <zeroburn> armando: I cant do that since i dont know the name of the item i just deleted, i wanted to remove the monitor item from the bar, and right click - remove from panel it, and it removed several other icons aswell
[14:53] <erUSUL> jeetu: install? or run?
[14:54] <jeetu> intall
[14:54] <izinucs> DarsVaeda: just guessing here.. but some how you need FF to connect on the port assigned to the ssh tunnel.. simply fireing it up and going to localhost doesn't mean *remote* by default
[14:54] <armando> zeroburn: did you deleted the panel, or just some items?
[14:54] <izinucs> DarsVaeda: ssh is a bit different in that regard from VPN
[14:55] <zheng_> sipior, good, it works. why the crontab file cannot have its suffix? I used the suffixed crontab file for some years
[14:55] <zheng_> anyway , thank you very much.
[14:55] <zeroburn> armando: just some iems, or rather just one item but it removed the area with for eg the sound preference thingy aswell (where you click to change the system volume without going into system sound)
[14:56] <sipior> zheng_: it's a policy established by the run-parts script, i believe.
[14:56] <hedkandi> how does my ecryptfs Private directory get mounted when it's not in fstab?
[14:56] <jeetu> erUSUL:both
[14:57] <armando> zeroburn: I think that's the notification area. just right click the panel -> add to panel -> notification area and you will restore it
[14:57] <Stormx2> How can I get a list of X windows, with names and ids?
[14:58] <erUSUL> !boot | jeetu
[14:58] <denismfm> meh, I got the backports package for the installed kernel version, and it's complaining about a dependency
[14:58] <shiftingcontrol> is there any tool for sending sms from ubuntu(nokia is connected via usbcable)
[14:58] <Guest93995> .
[14:59] <zeroburn> armando: thanks, that dint work, but i just reseted the laptop and it fixed it :)
[14:59] <ohsix> hedkandi: stuff need not be in fstab to be mounted
[14:59] <ohsix> hedkandi: fstab is just one way to tell some tools, including the stuff that mounts things at boot; about some filesystems
[15:00] <kubanc> how do i lunch personal file sharing window...
[15:00] <hedkandi> ohsix, do you happen to know how my ecryptfs magically manages to mount .Private?
[15:00] <ubuntu> hi all
[15:00] <hedkandi> ohsix, it seems to happen at boot quite happily
[15:01] <ubuntu> in the 'ls -l' command why are some folders showing bigger number of hardlinks?
[15:01] <maxsaniel> hellow alguem do Brasil???
[15:01] <ubuntu> where does these hardlinks exist?
[15:01] <genii-around> !br | maxsaniel
[15:01] <truepurple> .
[15:01] <ohsix> hedkandi: does it happen at boot? or at logon
[15:01] <jrib> ubuntu: example?
[15:01] <GeekMan> in open office where can i find a copyleft symbol
[15:01] <hedkandi> ohsix, sorry login
[15:01] <sipior> ubuntu: every directory one level down has a link ("..") to the parent.
[15:01] <StHa> hello. I've got a question about unmounting the /home/ folder and mounting a new harddrive as the new /home/ folder. I'm currently at the point where I have a /home2/ partition mounted in which I'm syncing the current homefolder. How can I overwrite the current homefolder with the new homefolder so that it has more space?
[15:02] <hedkandi> ohsix, it gets the key from the user's keyring apparently
[15:02] <erUSUL> !separatehome
[15:02] <mymeatinyourseat> will someone please give me the terminal command to get the latest xvid thingie for my chrome??
[15:02] <NeedSomeHelp> hello, anyone know basic java?
[15:02] <hedkandi> cual es el canal para discutir en espanol?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> NeedSomeHelp: ask in #java
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> !es
[15:03] <StHa> erUSUL, thanks will look into it
[15:03] <ubuntu> jrib,sipior my downloads folder is showing 3 hardlinks
[15:03] <NeedSomeHelp> ActionParsnip: No. Channel is invite only
[15:03] <sipior> ubuntu: and you have one directory inside it, i assume?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> NeedSomeHelp: sounds like you need to be registered
[15:04] <ubuntu> sipior, yes i have.
[15:04] <remoteCTR1> !dvd
[15:04] <ubuntu> sipior, how does that link to hardlinks?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> NeedSomeHelp: i just joined, looks like you need to register
[15:04] <mymeatinyourseat> will someone please give me the terminal command to get the latest xvid thingie for chrome??
[15:04] <NeedSomeHelp> ActionParsnip, how?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> !register | NeedSomeHelp
[15:04] <NeedSomeHelp> kk, thnx
[15:04] <ubuntu> sipior, yes i have a director in it
[15:05] <maxsaniel> help
[15:05] <sipior> ubuntu: i explained that above. (each directory has a ".." entry)
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> mymeatinyourseat: there is a daily ppa whichmay have alater version
[15:05] <maxsaniel> como entro na comunidade em portugues br
[15:05] <maxsaniel> ???
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> !pt
[15:05] <ubuntu> sipior, that i agree, but hardlink actually is same file with different name isnt it?
[15:05] <BluesKaj> !xvid | mymeatinyourseat
[15:06] <ohsix> hedkandi: yep
[15:06] <sipior> ubuntu: so: 1 link comes from the ".." entry in that directory, another comes from the "." entry in the Download directory itself. (and the last is the original directory)
[15:06] <ubuntu> sipior, and how does that make the hardlink of its parent directory to increase?
[15:06] <sipior> ubuntu: make another directory in "Downloads", and that entry will increase to 4.
[15:06] <hedkandi> ohsix, right!
[15:06] <DarsVaeda> @izinus: i used ssh a lot but i never used it to tunnel http...i have a description for windows, where you can set that up in putty, then you can just use ff and type localhost and it will go to the remote localhost -  i used ssh tunnel manager for ubuntu to setup a tunnel that will tunnel the remote port 80 to my localhost port 80...so it should load the remote local after the tunnel is applied in my opinion
[15:07] <ubuntu> sipior, then why does a empty directory have hardlink as 2?
[15:07] <sipior> ubuntu: i just explained that...
[15:07] <nickter> hello
[15:08] <nickter> I'm coming
[15:08] <maxsaniel> valeu obrigado
[15:08] <ririk> hello everybody
[15:08] <c-fern|mobile> hey. so i am somewhat new to ubuntu (~3 months continuous use.) and i had a question.
[15:08] <ubuntu> sipior, oh that means the (..) in the child directory is again a hardlink to the parent directory isnt it?
[15:08] <c-fern|mobile> googling did not yield any results to my question.
[15:08] <ubuntu> sipior, yes i understood
[15:08] <nickter> I just want to know where it is
[15:08] <ubuntu> sipior, thank you verymuch.
[15:09] <nickter> please forgive me
[15:09] <jrib> c-fern|mobile: we prefer it when you just ask the question :)
[15:09] <sipior> ubuntu: yep.
[15:09] <nickter> I just a new one
[15:09] <mymeatinyourseat> ubottu, I remember u helping me the last couple of days
[15:09] <ubuntu> sipior, now just one more doubt. when we do an ls -l there shows some count like "Total 0" like that
[15:09] <c-fern|mobile> i was wondering, if it would be possible to ssh into ubuntu from my jailbroken ipod touch via usb?
[15:09] <mymeatinyourseat> ubottu, can't u please give me a terminal command
[15:09] <ubuntu> sipior, what does that mean?
[15:09] <nickter> where there is
[15:09] <ririk> what is the fdisk usage to format a disk? i want to format the drive on a vaio p netbook, i am running ubuntu on a usb drive
[15:09] <nickter> oh,my ladygaga
[15:10] <c-fern|mobile> sorry. i like to talk. lol
[15:10] <jrib> mymeatinyourseat: ubottu is a program, a robot.  Addressing him directly with your questions is unlikely to yield meaningful results
[15:10] <sipior> ubuntu: "info ls"
[15:10] <mymeatinyourseat> jrib, ty
[15:10] <jrib> mymeatinyourseat: why "via usb"?  Why don't you just use your wifi on the ipod?
[15:10] <ubuntu> sipior, could you please help me by explaining? i am in a hurry to leave this machine now. Please?
[15:11] <mymeatinyourseat> jrido u know the terminal command to get xvid for chrome
[15:11] <jrib> mymeatinyourseat: no
[15:11] <mymeatinyourseat> awe, does anybody??
[15:12] <ohsix> mymeatinyourseat: whats an xvid thingie for chrome
[15:12] <siminm> Hey guys! I ran 4 programs via `screen` and now only one of them is actually running (top's status=R) and all of the other are sleeping (top status=S) -- can anyone explain why that's so, and how to resume them?
[15:12] <syrinx_>  mymeatinyourseat: VLC
[15:12] <syrinx_> VLC plays pretty much everything
[15:12] <c-fern|mobile> because i want to have my ipod out like normal but it hooked up via usb to my laptop in my backpack that would be running so then i could run like aircrack and stuff. since it would be conspicuous some places to have a laptop
[15:12] <sipior> ubuntu: it's the total block allocation for those files.
[15:13] <erUSUL> siminm: they do not need the cpu at the memont that's why they are sleeping
[15:13] <jrib> c-fern|mobile: k.  Don't know
[15:13] <ohsix> siminm: apps mostly sleep, rarely run; so it probably has nothing to do with screen
[15:13] <ubuntu> sipior, how can we count that block allocation.
[15:13] <DJones> siminm: I think you just need to resume screen with "screen -dr" and then cycle through your screen's till you get to the one the app should be running in
[15:13] <sipior> ubuntu: i have other things to do.
[15:13] <mymeatinyourseat> ohsix, at the very top of the page, it says I need the xvid codec
[15:13] <jwtiyar> how to compile a kernel
[15:13] <mymeatinyourseat> ohsix, http://www.famousfeet.org/www/piwigo/picture.php?/7256/category/721-nastia_liukin
[15:14] <ohsix> what page D:
[15:14] <jrib> !kernel | jwtiyar
[15:14] <nickter> sorry i do not understand what you mean
[15:14] <ubuntu> sipior, thats fine, true spirit of community. Thank you.!
[15:14] <nickter> pardon
[15:14] <c-fern|mobile> alright. illl see what i cant find. thanks tho. my connection is bad cause i am in a car tethering so ill look and if i find anthing ill let yall know.
[15:14] <kubanc> how do i change, because every time i would like to open a folder in my gnome menu VLC player opens?
[15:14] <c-fern|mobile> thanks tho
[15:14] <siminm> erUSUL, ohsix, DJones, i'm not sure that makes sense. I'm using screen just so that I can disconnect from the terminal. The binary that i'm running within the screen are c++ programs that I wrote myself, they should be using 100% of the CPUs (i have 8) but only 1 is actually running
[15:15] <mymeatinyourseat> ohsix, at the very top of the page, it says I need the xvid codec
[15:15] <mymeatinyourseat> ohsix, at the very top of the page, it says I need the xvid codec
[15:15] <sipior> ubuntu: the "true spirit of the community" is to at least *attempt* to find things out by yourself, instead of having them ladled out to you.
[15:15] <mymeatinyourseat> ohsix, http://www.famousfeet.org/www/piwigo/picture.php?/7256/category/721-nastia_liukin
[15:15] <ohsix> mymeatinyourseat: your media player does
[15:15] <ririk> ta, bye
[15:15] <DarsVaeda> I need to ssh-tunnel a remote port 80 to my localhost:80 so I can use my browser to connect to the remote host, how do i?
[15:15] <mymeatinyourseat> ohs, my media player does what??
[15:15] <sipior> ubuntu: when you have problems understanding what you find, then come back and ask questions.
[15:15] <BluesKaj> mymeatinyourseat, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:16] <tuxx-> DarsVaeda: ssh root@remotebox -L 80:localhost:80
[15:16] <ubuntu> sipior, yes, i very well understand that. and this is why people prefer commercial support.
[15:16] <siminm> erUSUL, ohsix, DJones, does it matter that i'm running 8 instances of the same binary?
[15:16] <erUSUL> siminm: well i dunno; sleeping is a normal state for a process to be. maybe waiting for i/o ?
[15:16] <tuxx-> 80:localhost:80 = localport:host:remoteport
[15:16] <sipior> ubuntu: do what you like.
[15:16] <siminm> erUSUL, that's a good point, i'll check if it's choking
[15:16] <mymeatinyourseat> BluesKaj, will u make me a terminal command for that
[15:16] <ubuntu> sipior, becuase someone in an urgency comes and asks for help, arrogant geeks slashes them.
[15:16] <sipior> ubuntu: we're done talking.
[15:17] <DarsVaeda> this is not permanent right?
[15:17] <tuxx-> DarsVaeda: ofcourse not :P
[15:17] <tuxx-> when you close the ssh session, the tunnel will disappear
[15:17] <tuxx-> winninggggg
[15:17] <ubuntu> sipior,  wholehearted thanks for what you have taught me about the hardlinks.
[15:17] <DarsVaeda> i thought so just to be sure ^^
[15:18] <dragonlive> :)
[15:18] <delac> trying to make kde programs bit more native on gnome (ubuntu 10.10). Mostly everything is good as it is (gues there is bit automagic going on) but there is one panel in Dolphin that is of wrong colour. Apparently gtk is coloring it incorrectly. How do I exclude Dolphin from gtkrc?
[15:18] <jwtiyar> where is the sourcelist fie?
[15:18] <raido_> DarsVaeda: ssh -f -N -D 80 servername
[15:18] <siminm> erUSUL, so bottom line is that sleeping status is not "something paused" this program? it's just the program's decision not to use the processor?
[15:18] <DarsVaeda> what does this now raido_?
[15:18] <ua> hello eveyrbody
[15:19] <erUSUL> siminm: the program or the kernel
[15:19] <Abhijit> the-board ppa working for anyone in lucid?
[15:19] <raido_> DarsVaeda: DarsVaeda Is used ssh to create a SOCKS proxy on the local machine port 80 to the remote machine (servername)
[15:19] <iceroot> jwtiyar: /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:19] <ua> need help

[15:19] <bob__> mymeat...: if you are trying to play DVDs enter libdvdcss2 in ubuntu help and it will give you the command
[15:20] <siminm> erUSUL, ohsix, DJones, thanks everyone
[15:20] <raido_> DarsVaeda: you need to tell your browser to use the localhost as the proxyserver now, then your good to go.
[15:20] <Abhijit> ua, install zip and 7zip
[15:20] <kubanc> everytime i would like to open folders in my gnome menu, VLC opens, and not the folder location in nautilus...

[15:21] <jrib> kubanc: right click on a folder in nautilus, open with, change it to nautilus, remember
[15:22] <ua> Abhijit>thanks for answer, should i just type "apt-get install 7zip or zip?
[15:22] <jrib> jwtiyar: system → administration → software sources
[15:22] <ohsix> bob__: i always use dpkg -L libdvdread4, cuz i remember that package name but not the script name ;] /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[15:22] <jwtiyar> jrib, i know this i dont know what to do to fix?

[15:24] <soidexe> hey there! what soft do you use to read mail lists?
[15:25] <Guest91860> hello, does anyone use Qtractor application on ubuntu??
[15:26] <jwtiyar> huwawei modem support last kernel of ubuntu on 10.4 LTS?
[15:26] <erUSUL> soidexe: a mail client
[15:26] <soidexe> erUSUL: which one?
[15:27] <sergiote> has anyone successfully installed Qtractor on Ubuntu?
[15:27] <erUSUL> soidexe: whichever you like? i use default evolution and/or claws-mail. but any mail client software can be used to subscribe to mailing lists
[15:28] <Gulfstream2> how do I scale the CPU to performance in Ubuntu Netbook Edition?
[15:28] <soidexe> erUSUL: I like gmail but it's bad on mailing lists
[15:28] <Roasted__> Does anybody know of a way with Ubuntu on the domain I can have the home directory auto map to the user's windows share?
[15:29] <Muschel> hi
[15:30] <erUSUL> soidexe: i heard that many people use it without issues
[15:30] <majuk_> Hey all. I am having an issue with ntpd. I have a good server listed in ntpd.conf, but ntpdate only returns 'no servers can be used, exiting'. Invoking ntpdate $SERVER from the command line works fine. Any suggestions?
[15:30] <Muschel> somebody know if ubuntu 11.04 could get  a new design ?
[15:30] <Muschel>  
[15:30] <majuk_> Also, ntpd is reporting the same "no servers can be used, exiting" in /var/log/daemon.log
[15:30] <DreadKnight> any way to use gnome-shell in 11.04?
[15:31] <Muschel> no
[15:31] <soidexe> erUSUL: it doesn't support threads as I know and that's the key feature for reading mailing lists
[15:31] <Muschel> it is unity
[15:32] <Abhijit> the-board ppa working for anyone in lucid?
[15:32] <erUSUL> soidexe: well then try with a traditional mail client
[15:32] <Muschel> yes
[15:32] <Muschel> yes

[15:33] <random_> the second
[15:33] <apporc> why the first one is wrong?
[15:33] <joe_9> what is the name of that eye candy visuals for ubuntu?
[15:33] <sipior> apporc: neither is particularly good :-) and this is rather off-topic here.
[15:34] <DJones> joe_9: compiz
[15:34] <random_> well the noun end descriptor are in the wrong order?
[15:34] <apporc> sipior:i know , but i really don't know who to ask help for ....

[15:39] <DarsVaeda> I do "ssh -L -v -p 2525 8888:host.host.com:80 user@host.host.com", i get the shell but on the forwarding the connection times out, works on windows, how can i debug this?

[15:40] <Sub_Zero> I'm getting 'the' Dbus error when plugging my iTouch (4.2.1) in my Ubuntu (10.10) PC. I've tried the old "sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" but that doesn't work for me.
[15:40] <DarsVaeda> i did thats how i knew the connection times out, but not more info given
[15:40] <Spec> DarsVaeda: you can give it more -vvvv s:p
[15:40] <DarsVaeda> vvvvv madness?
[15:40] <DarsVaeda> hmm might help
[15:40] <Spec> DarsVaeda: sure, it'll get you more and more messages. if it just ends up saying timeout though, you gotta try a different tactic ;)
[15:41] <sipior> DarsVaeda: the maximum number is three :-)
[15:41] <DarsVaeda> i know ;P
[15:41] <swim> hey, i had changed my desktop environment over to xfce..  i can't remember the drill down to get to the setting that allow me to change desktop environments..  can anybody help??
[15:41] <Boom_Farmer> Where can I find the Java VM lib/ext folder mentioned in this link if I'm using OpenJDK? http://www.aleks.com/downloads/linux_jvm
[15:41] <DarsVaeda> it must be something on my side as it works from windows on the same network with the same settings
[15:41] <Polah> I can't install GRUB on my system. Whenever I use the Ubuntu installer and specify /dev/sda for the bootloader it doesn't work and when I do "grub-install /dev/sda" I get the error message "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)."
[15:42] <delac> does anyone know how ubuntu changes kde aplications to look like gtk apps. That is, what is the mechanism and where are the config files?

[15:43] <Abhijit> the-board ppa working for anyone in lucid?
[15:43] <Abhijit> the-board? no board?
[15:43]  * Abhijit sigh
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> Abhijit: do you have a link to the web page for the ppa
[15:44] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, yes
[15:44] <erUSUL> majuk_: cron is not used to launch daemons
[15:44] <naomi_> To get skype it'd just be sudo apt-get install skype, right?
[15:44] <DarsVaeda> could it be that apache is blocking port 80?
[15:45] <ljsoftnet> naomi install skype in Software Center
[15:45] <Boom_Farmer> naomi_: Or download the debian from their site.
[15:45] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/minor-update-pushed-out-for-thought-taking-app-the-board/
[15:45] <ljsoftnet> naomi_ install skype in Software Center
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> naomi_: gra the deb from skpe.com or enable the partner repo to maybe get it
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> !skype
[15:45] <drc> Abhijit: IIRC the ppa was for natty (Minor update pushed out for thought-taking app ‘The Board’
[15:45] <drc> By Joey Sneddon , posted March 29, 2011
[15:45] <drc> Share story:
[15:45] <drc> submit to reddit
[15:45] <drc> A minor update to Lucas Rocha’s note-space application ‘The Board’ has been pushed out to early testers.
[15:45] <FloodBot3> drc: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:45] <drc> The Board gets a minor update - and window borders!
[15:45] <majuk_> erUSUL, Yea, well, I can't find wher eit's being launched by RC, so I'm kinda puzzled.
[15:45] <naomi_> I have no idea what deb even is. >.>
[15:46] <majuk_> Hence the hunt.
[15:46] <ljsoftnet> naomi_ you need to click on Install Source something before you can in stall
[15:46] <Abhijit> drc, :-)
[15:46] <naomi_> and it's in software center?
[15:46] <erUSUL> majuk_: /etc/rc.local ?
[15:46] <drc> my bad :(
[15:46] <Abhijit> drc, sorry its :-( sad
[15:46] <ljsoftnet> naomi_ yes
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> Abhijit: http://ppa.launchpad.net/the-board-team/dev-snapshots/ubuntu/dists/   it ONLY supports natty
[15:46] <drc> Abhijit: but its still natty only, iirc
[15:46] <erUSUL> majuk_: looked in /etc/init/ and in /etc/init.d/ ?
[15:46] <sipior> majuk_: the parent pid might give some clue.
[15:46] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, :-( sad
[15:46] <majuk_> erUSUL, Negative. Furthermore, there are two instances of ntpd running, one launched by root and another by ntpd
[15:46] <Abhijit> anyone success installing the board in lucid?
[15:47] <majuk_> sipior, Ah, you're a champ.
[15:47] <majuk_> I'll look at that.
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> Abhijit: its released soon, you'll live
[15:47] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, :-)
[15:47] <naomi_> so after it's downloaded from software center i just sudo apt-get install?
[15:47] <sipior> majuk_: well, depending on how it's invoked, it might be misleading, so don't thank me yet :-)
[15:47] <dejan_> I am trying to install php 5 from synaptic package manager but it wants to delete mpm worker from apache and install php-prefork which means my server will be process based not threaded, can I install php on mpm worker on threads apache server?
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> naomi_: software centre will install it, no need for apt-get if it installs via the gui
[15:47] <ljsoftnet> naomi_ no need, you already installed it, open in on the Gnome menu
[15:48] <naomi_> oh. >.>
[15:48] <jrib> naomi_: no, software center is your one-stop shop.  You install it there and then you can use it right away!
[15:48] <majuk_> sipior, lol, well I hadn't thougt of that yet, so you're doing better than me. :D
[15:49] <naomi_> but if i wanted to do it through the command line, what way would i do that? like for this i just typed sudo apt-get install Konversation
[15:49] <Boom_Farmer> naomi_: In that case, sudo apt-get install skype
[15:49] <majuk_> This is so confusing. No other site's clients have this problem of polling our NTP server, but one site, ALL the clients report they can't poll the NTP server. Dumbfounding.
[15:49] <naomi_> okie.
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> naomi_: without the capital K yes, linux is VERY case sensitive
[15:50] <smoketown> hallo zusammen
[15:50] <majuk_> Yet I invoke it straight from the command line with 'ntpdate $SERVER' and boom, done. -.-
[15:50] <dejan_> I am trying to install php 5 from synaptic package manager but it wants to delete mpm worker from apache and install php-prefork which means my server will be process based not threaded, can I install php with mpm worker on threads based apache server?

[15:50] <iceroot> !de | smoketown
[15:50] <iceroot> !appdb | smoketown
[15:50] <sipior> smoketown: that's probably a bit optimistic.
[15:51] <dejan_> no help?

[15:54] <insanity99> ok thanks
[15:55] <[bean]> linux isnt confusing, but you have to know how to read.
[15:55] <irv> Pici: already asked there, just wanted to widen the pool ;]
[15:55] <naomi_> of course its confusing. to beginners. :(
[15:55] <irv> thanks though
[15:55] <[bean]> not if you do yourself the favor and read up on it
[15:55] <insanity99> do i want to choose 'on this computer'
[15:55] <shiftingcontrol> any one has idea for pc suite alternate for s60 in ubuntu ?
[15:55] <insanity99> for folder location?
[15:56] <[bean]> there is alot of good documents on the console and practically every linux app
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> ravn: ok so are there patches of quiet in otherwise solid sound?
[15:56] <lokinou> insanity99: sorry i'm saying crap
[15:57] <dejan_> I am trying to install php 5 from synaptic package manager but it wants to delete mpm worker from apache and install php-prefork which means my server will be process based not threaded, can I install php with mpm worker on threads based apache server?
[15:57] <supercom32> Does anyone know of an SFTP client for ubuntu which supports multi-segmented file downloading?
[15:57] <lokinou> insanity99: go in edit > preferences > add button on the right
[15:57] <ravn> ActionParsnip: yes, but now when I tried to run a movie for a longer time I notice that the clipping increases until there is no sound at all.
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> ravn: is it in all apps?
[15:57] <ravn> ActionParsnip: yes
[15:57] <insanity99> ok thanks
[15:57] <ravn> all I tried
[15:58] <[bean]> ravn did you check what codecs it uses and what not? if its using ac3 for audio maybe try getting the ac3 filter
[15:58] <lokinou> insanity99: no problem it shall work after that, don't forget to use TLS or SSL encryption if your mail box supports it
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> ravn: is the system a branded PC or laptop?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> ravn: and is this via the usb audio?
[15:58] <insanity99> i use gmail
[15:59] <ravn> ActionParsnip: It is an ASRock nettop with audio from SPIDF
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> ravn: what model?
[15:59] <supercom32> Does anyone know of an SFTP client for ubuntu which supports multi-segmented file downloading?
[15:59] <majuk_> Ok, a different thought: is there some way to restrict what network interfaces ntpd sends data on?
[15:59] <naomi_> some of my windows won't close by pressing the x. on java chats, digichats i can't close any windows. is there a command or something to fix it?
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> supercom32: filezilla perhaps
[16:00] <majuk_> My clients aren't listening for broadcasts, they're polling the server.
[16:00] <ravn> ActionParsnip: Asrock Nettop ION 3D 152B/B BluRay
[16:00] <majuk_> And the ones using their Ethernet NICs fail whereas clients using the wlan interface work fine
[16:00] <lokinou> insanity99: google is your friend now http://tinyurl.com/yvuyrz
[16:01] <insanity99> lokinou, oh i didn't use that server type, does that matter?
[16:02] <lokinou> insanity99: you mean smtp and imap protocols ?
[16:02] <revolt_randy> are double / in file paths legal?
[16:02] <ylmfos> hah !
[16:03] <ylmfos> ni hao ma ?
[16:03] <supercom32> ActionParsnip: Ah, Filezills supports concurrent downloading, but not multi-segment downloading.
[16:03] <eamon> revolt_randy: no
[16:03] <revolt_randy> ty eamon
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> supercom32: i see
[16:03] <supercom32> Filezilla I mean.
[16:03] <insanity99> lokinou, yeah i choose imap
[16:03] <ylmfos> hello!
[16:03] <insanity99> but that link says pop
[16:03] <DarsVaeda> hi i try to ssh tunnel a remote port 80 to a local port 8888 which results in connection timed out, i guess i found out that the port 8888 is closed on my host...how do i temporarily open it?
[16:03] <eamon> Is it possible to pause rsync?
[16:04] <Nick> Why doesn't chmod -x work?
[16:04] <lokinou> insanity99: smtp is for sending and imap is for retrieving
[16:04] <dejan_> I am trying to install php 5 from synaptic package manager but it wants to delete mpm worker from apache and install php-prefork which means my server will be process based not threaded, can I install php with mpm worker on threads based apache server?
[16:04] <Nick> it seems as if nothing has happened
[16:04] <dejan_> CAN SOMEONE PLS HELP ME OR..?
[16:04] <dejan_> at least say something for fuck sake
[16:04] <dejan_> is thi ubunt usupport channel or what?

[16:04] <dejan_> where can I ask my questions
[16:04] <dejan_> its not funny
[16:04] <Boom_Farmer> dejan_: Because none of us knows what to do.
[16:04] <jrib> dejan_: please mind your language and be more patient.
[16:05] <dejan_> i am always wasting time like this
[16:05] <sipior> dejan_: perhaps folks have sensed your incredible needyness.
[16:05] <Nick> jrib: i still get permission denied when i try to execute it
[16:05] <dejan_> on freeenode #ubuntu and hhttpd
[16:05] <fairuz> dejan_: if someone knows he will answer
[16:05] <dejan_> #httpd
[16:05] <Polah> dejan_: We are not here to serve you. We are here voluntarily. We are not answering because we do not know. Screaming obscenities does not help you.
[16:05] <jrib> Nick: chmdo -x is to REMOVE executable permission
[16:05] <dejan_> there they told me go #ubuntu
[16:05] <DarsVaeda> maybe you should calm down dejan and try to be kind?
[16:05] <dejan_> here noone helps
[16:05] <FloodBot3> dejan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:05] <insanity99> ok, do i want remember password for both sending and receving?
[16:05] <DJones> !patience | dejan_
[16:05] <dejan_> you should understand that i need help, i searched google and docs coudln't find answer
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> ravn: there may be an option in alsa-base.conf to disable power management for sound so it doesn't happen. Have a sniff around. I know it exists, just not sure what it is but forums will tell you
[16:05] <Boom_Farmer> dejan_: You might try ##php
[16:05] <Pici> dejan_: You may also want to ask in #ubuntu-server
[16:05] <dejan_> I am trying to install php 5 from synaptic package manager but it wants to delete mpm worker from apache and install php-prefork which means my server will be process based not threaded, can I install php with mpm worker on threads based apache server?
[16:05] <Polah> dejan_: So do most of the people in here.
[16:05] <naomi_> dejan obviously nobody knows the answer.
[16:05] <fairuz> dejan_: everybody need helps :D
[16:05] <jrib> dejan_: you've asked your question, now please wait patiently.  If someone knows the answer, they'll address you
[16:06] <lokinou> my troll sensors are detecting something
[16:06] <Nick> jrib: +x doesn work either.
[16:06] <dejan_> you know what
[16:06] <dejan_> mark my words
[16:06] <dejan_> on this
[16:06] <JWFoxJr> Does anyone know if ntp.conf supports networks, or do I have to list individual server ip's for the machines that get time for my ntp server
[16:06] <dejan_> you are bunch of slaves
[16:06] <FloodBot3> dejan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:07] <coz_> dejan_,   honest,, everyone here is a volunteer,,, they have work, families.. etc etc,, if no one is answering right now,, just hang out,, or also log into the ##linux channel

[16:08] <phretor> I've run memtest and found a number of failures. Are my DIMMs gone?
[16:08] <jrib> Nick: pastebin: ls -l of the file, then your chmod command, then ls -l again, then your attempt at executing it
[16:08] <ikonia> phretor: sounds like they are faulty yes
[16:08] <ylmfos> No one come from Chian?
[16:09] <DarsVaeda> all blocked

[16:14] <naomi_> When I use a java based digichat, if a private message voncersation pops up it won#t let me close it. Won't let me close the window via X or anything. Is there a command or something to fix it?
[16:14] <naomi_> I have open java. Would sun be better?
[16:15] <naomi_> .. Conversation^
[16:15] <coz_> naomi_,  I use sun java  ,, for me its because I have a few high end applications that require sun java
[16:15] <airstrike> i use sun java too
[16:16] <airstrike> just try it and find out =)
[16:16] <naomi_> i don't even know what the difference is.. i'm a noob at this stuff. i just don't know why it won't close my windows.
[16:16] <rhin0> anyone know the quick way to speed up nfs on ubuntu 10.04 -- nfs is so slow I do ls on a mounted directory it will take a while
[16:16] <rhin0> there appear to be a lot of solutions to this on the web
[16:16] <rhin0> I want THE solution
[16:16] <ikonia> rhin0: check the basics, such as reverse dns, network card speed matches,
[16:17] <rhin0> turning 'reverse dns' off?
[16:17] <rhin0> no idea
[16:17] <ikonia> rhin0: once you have the basics in place you can get down to the more specialist areas
[16:17] <ikonia> rhin0: no, make sure it's on
[16:17] <rhin0> I do not want to have to go on a week long course on NFS -- I just want a solution "speed up NFS on ubuntu 10.04"
[16:17] <ikonia> also look at the mount options, it's worth whlie reading the man page to work out what's best for your network, eg: the nowait option
[16:18] <doomrush> Hi, I was testing a few new distro's out last night, and one of them was mandriva. But it seems to have messed up my partition table a bit. grub still works and I can boot but no OS seems to be able to see the partitions on my boot disk. Its just 1 big unused partition. I don't want to format yet. any ideas?
[16:18] <RussellAlan> can anyone help me with my grub2?
[16:18] <ikonia> rhin0: ok, bye bye then
[16:18] <rhin0> its ubuntu 10.04 -- standard
[16:18] <RussellAlan> i downloaded start-up manager but i get this
[16:18] <rhin0> no cards -- just wireless
[16:18] <vish> doomrush: this channel is for Ubuntu :) not Mandirva ;)
[16:18] <RussellAlan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/586656/
[16:18] <doomrush> vish, I know, but that chan is dead... :p
[16:18] <Polah> What is FlexNet? I got a message when installing GRUB: Sector 32 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it.
[16:19] <ikonia> doomrush: sorry, we only deal with ubuntu here
[16:19] <naomi_> How do i install sun java? And get rid of open java? I have no idea what i'm doing
[16:19] <grendal-prime> only ubuntu...hahahahaha i like that..
[16:19] <Polah> naomi_: You need the canonical partner archive
[16:20] <naomi_> i have no idea what that is. i've only been using linux like 3 days. complete noob.
[16:20] <Nick> doing ./run.sh gives permission denied, even after doing sudo chmod +x run.sh
[16:20] <doomrush> Is there a general linux chan I could go to then?
[16:20] <naomi_> #linux
[16:20] <doomrush> mm, sounds logical :)
[16:20] <naomi_> lol.
[16:20] <naomi_> or #linuxhelp i think.
[16:20] <Polah> sudo apt-get remove OpenJDK-6-jre && sudo bash -c "deb http://archive.canonical.com maverick partner >> /etc/apt/sources.list" && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[16:20] <Polah> That should do it
[16:21] <hedkandi> how do I permanently stop a service?
[16:21] <hedkandi> without like uninstalling it
[16:22] <Polah> What's the "lba" partition flag?
[16:22] <jrib> hedkandi: what service?
[16:22] <hedkandi> any old service!
[16:22] <hedkandi> urandom will do
[16:23] <Sub_Zero> I'm getting the old Dbus error when connecting my iTouch (4.2.1) to my Ubuntu (Maverick Meerkat) PC. I've tried "sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" which does not fix the problem.
[16:23] <denismfm> ok, network tools shows the interface, ifconfig / iwconfig show the interface, but the options under the network manager are greyed out / disabled - any suggestions?
[16:24] <jrib> hedkandi: depends on the service.  If it's still using an old sysv-init style start script, use sysv-rc-conf.  If it's an upstart script, then read its init script in /etc/init and see if it provides a "nice" way to disable the service.  If not, then simply add "never" as a starting condition.
[16:24] <lixinfish> hello, how can I mount a pair of raid1 hdds to filesys in Ubuntu?
[16:25] <JWFoxJr> Does anyone know if ntp.conf supports networks, or do I have to list individual server ip's for the machines that get time for my ntp server
[16:25] <hedkandi> jrib, am I right in thinking files in /etc/init.d are all run on boot, and in /etc/init on login?
[16:25] <jrib> hedkandi: no
[16:25] <remoteCTR1> lixinfish: have a look at manpages of mdadm
[16:25] <hedkandi> so what is the difference?
[16:26] <jrib> hedkandi: /etc/init.d is where sysv-init scripts are stored.  /etc/init is where the upstart scripts are stored
[16:26] <jrib> !upstart | hedkandi
[16:26] <lixinfish> remoteCTR1: thanks
[16:26] <hedkandi> ok so we're saying they are the same but init is the new way to do it.
[16:26] <jrib> hedkandi: you'll notice a lot of the scripts in /etc/init.d are just a symlink indicating they are an upstart service
[16:27] <parsifal_> I'm looking for an easy to set up, secure smtp server for Ubuntu. I've tried exim4, but can't seem to get it to not be an open relay, and  I just can't get postfix to work. Is there anything that's just easy to set up?

[16:28] <Sub_Zero> I'm getting 'the' Dbus error when connecting my iTouch (4.2.1) to my Ubuntu (Maverick Meerkat) PC. I've tried "sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to no avail.
[16:28] <Guest91608> hi...
[16:28] <lixinfish> remoteCTR1: hi, is mdadm softraid or hardraid?
[16:29] <lixinfish> remoteCTR1: it seems to be a softraid?
[16:29] <sjakie> lixinfish: mdadm is software raid
[16:30] <Kryniu> help, I needs good music player for linux (ubuntu)
[16:30] <phlamigo> I'd like to change the color of my main menu without changing other colors.  Im using lxde, if that makes a difference.  can i change just the main menu in a gtk config file or something?
[16:30] <JWFoxJr> I'm guessing by the lack of response that nobody know's what I'm talking about?
[16:30] <aeon-ltd> JWFoxJr: ask again in a few minutes
[16:31] <coz_> phlamigo,  it might be possible in the gtkrc file of the theme ..
[16:31] <JWFoxJr> aeon-ltd: I will, I just don't want to seem like I'm parotting :0
[16:32] <drc> phlamigo: if you don't get an answer here, try #lubuntu...but be patient, not every channel is as busy as this one
[16:33] <phlamigo> coz_: i took a peak, but was unable to decipher what each element was.  are you aware of a thorough guide which explains a gtkrc file?  i couldnt find a good one
[16:33] <phlamigo> drc: everything on this server other than this channnel seems dead to the point of needing a funeral
[16:33] <coz_> phlamigo,  well gtkrc can be a bit ,, confusing for sure,, i dont know of a reference for it but let me check hold on
[16:33] <phlamigo> coz_: many thanks
[16:34] <coz_> phlamigo,   maybe here    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=377397
[16:34] <Theoretician> Does anyone know how to use a proxy? I have an username and password into a computer and I want firefox to proxy through it...
[16:35] <hedkandi> jrib, right!
[16:35] <coz_> phlamigo,  along with the gtkrc file are the images that file links to
[16:35] <alsuna> Theoretician: just firefox? or the whole system?
[16:35] <sjakie> JWFoxJr, you have to list them all in ntp.conf
[16:35] <Theoretician> alsuna: just firefox
[16:36] <phlamigo> coz_: many thanks, ill go through them
[16:36] <Theoretician> alsuna: i'm trying to get around a network filter
[16:36] <hedkandi> hey although I see sysv-rc-conf operates, isn't there a gtk style interface for it?
[16:36] <coz_> phlamigo,  it may be easier to change the color of the file itself however,, menu color  may not be an image file but rather a hex number
[16:37] <coz_> phlamigo, for example   #996699   would be a dark purple   if you want an easy way to translate hex values into colors  installl  agave    sudo apt-get install agave
[16:37] <phlamigo> coz_: yeah, it will be n hex or decimal.  i think gtk has 5 valid ways to reference color
[16:37] <coz_> phlamigo,  ok cool you are familiar with it :)
[16:38] <phlamigo> coz_: yeah, i'm on the last step of getting things pretty. hehe
[16:38] <coz_> phlamigo,  I wish you luck,, gtkrc can be a real PITA
[16:38] <alsuna> Theoretician: the easiest is to use systemwide settings: in the ubuntu settings there is "network proxy" enter your data there
[16:39] <naomi_> I need to install sun java, and get some lucid partner thing first? anyone know what commands or what i need to type into terminal.
[16:39] <phlamigo> coz_: frankly im just thankful that its possible.  too many years with windows, so many dead ends for the amateur
[16:40] <coz_> phlamigo,  completely understood :)
[16:40] <Theoretician> alsuna: do you know what port I should use?
[16:40] <sjakie> naomi_: uncomment "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner" in /etc/apt/sources.list, then run apt-get update
[16:41] <naomi_> what is /etc/apt/sources? how do i do that? D:
[16:42] <alsuna> Theoretician: you need to know on which port the proxy expects to be contacted. if this is for "normal internet" you could try ports 80 and 8080
[16:42] <Theoretician> alsuna: ok, I think its working
[16:44] <JWFoxJr> sjakie: ok, thanks. the config file looked like it had subnets in it. This might present a problem, as I have over 100 servers that I'm providing time for.
[16:47] <sjakie> JWFoxJr: thought you were talking about a ntp client. sorry.
[16:47] <david5345> my 10.10 desktop has a LOCALE set to C, I read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale , but most of the commands on that page don't work. What is the correct way to set my locale ?
[16:47] <dyd> guys i'm trying wireshark to find interesting stuffs on my network (there are many pc), i did the simplest thing: get ftp login and pass... but what other interesting info can i find? i'm a nap on those things :)
[16:47] <sjakie> JWFoxJr: if I remember it right you can do it like this "restrict 192.168.12.0 mask 255.255.255.0" for example
[16:48] <SuspectZero> hey there, quick question, is it possible to get the fglrx driver running on a live cd?
[16:48] <SuspectZero> live cd of 10.10 x64*
[16:50] <Theoretician> alsuna: nvm, it is not working
[16:50] <ruan> how would i execute a program in its working directory from a shortcut? cd wont work
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> SuspectZero:  if you do a live cd -> flash drive via unetbootin or similer with a persistant save.. yes.
[16:50] <Theoretician> alsuna: I think I set everything up correctly, but it won't get past the filter
[16:50] <Theoretician> alsuna: is there any way I can test it?
[16:51] <alsuna> Theoretician: try accessing a website that your filter blocks. if it is still blocked, then you're not using the proxy.
[16:52] <Theoretician> alsuna: ok, so im not using it then
[16:52] <zielonka> hi!
[16:52] <SuspectZero> Dr_Willis, ah i see, well is it possible to use my harddrive to hold the persistant save information, without losing stuff on the partition?
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> SuspectZero:  never noticed the cd looking on inbternal hds for its save file.  Might be possible. i never tried it
[16:52] <JWFoxJr> sjakie: ok, thanks, that's what I had but clients aren't syncing. time to run a packet filter and find out what's going on.
[16:52] <SuspectZero> ah kk
[16:53] <Theoretician> alsuna: can I proxy with the ssh command?
[16:53] <alsuna> Theoretician: did you klick the "apply systemwide" button?
[16:53] <SuspectZero> any idea what i should look  up to make it work?
[16:53] <Theoretician> alsuna: yeah, i did
[16:53] <sjakie> JWFoxJr: good luck :)
[16:53] <SuspectZero> what i basically want to do is save all the persistent information files to a reiserfs partition on my harddrive
[16:53] <Theoretician> alsuna: I also authenticated w/ my username and passwd
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> SuspectZero:  not sure if that can be done or not. The live-cd persstant stuff uses a single file
[16:54] <SuspectZero> the casper file?
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> casper-rw or somthing like that I think
[16:55] <ZieLonKa> Hi! I want to start ubuntu into the shell without loading gdm, but without uninstalling it. Is there a way, how an absolute beginner like me, can accomplish this? I tried google and ubuntuforums.org but all described ways did not work.
[16:55] <ZieLonKa> maybe I'm doin it wromg ;(
[16:55] <ZieLonKa> wrong*
[16:55] <SuspectZero> oic
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> ZieLonKa:  use the 'text' kernel boot option = no gdm, no fancy splash.
[16:55] <alsuna> Theoretician: hm... then it should have connected. try directly in firefox then. first restore the systemwide settings
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> ZieLonKa:  or just disable teh gdm service in /etc/init/ by renaming gdm.conf to be like gdm.DONTRUN
[16:57] <ZieLonKa> Dr_Willis: where must i set this 'text-mode' setting to get ubuntu start with it as default?
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> ZieLonKa:  /etc/default/grub
[16:57] <alsuna> Theoretician: in Firefox (3.*) in settings, last tab, there is network and [settings...] enter your details there. you'll be asked for username/pw when you first try to connext
[16:57] <ZieLonKa> Dr_Willis: thanks!
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> ZieLonKa:  replace 'quiet splash' with 'text'
[16:58] <Theoretician> alsuna: working on it
[16:58] <ZieLonKa> Dr_Willis: btw... my nic problem from yesterday is now solved, i just switched the cards ;)
[16:59] <Theoretician> alsuna: it won't connect, when i enter a URL it just freezes and says "connecting to www.google.com"
[17:01] <evilsushi> so i need to create a cname record to point files.domain.com to server02.domain.com/fileserver .. how can I do this in apache?
[17:02] <Theoretician> alsuna: do i need to ssh into the remote computer?
[17:02] <alsuna> Theoretician: not connected then... you'll have to find out which port you're trying to connect to. everything else will be pure guesswork.
[17:02] <milligan> evilsushi, what is your goal? You want files.domain.com to point to a certain server that has your filed under /fileserver .. ?
[17:03] <alsuna> Theoretician: ssh has nothing to do with web proxy
[17:03] <milligan> s/filed/files*
[17:03] <naomi_> i installed sun java.. and i thought that removes open java? but when i do "java -version" in terminal it tells me i still have open. how do i fix!
[17:03] <Theoretician> alsuna: ok, thanks
[17:03] <milligan> naomi_, run: update-java-alternatives
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> naomi_:  remove the iced-tea java package or use the 'alterantives' system of ubuntu to select what java you want to use.
[17:04] <theinkman21> anyone know of a good dvd copier other than k9
[17:05] <michal__> Hallo
[17:05] <MEGAZOIDE> Cuanta gente, ¿alguno de España?, jejejé
[17:05] <DJones> !es | MEGAZOIDE
[17:05] <naomi_> i installed sun java from the software center. doesnt say i have open anymore.. but when i check the version in terminal it says open. what do i type for the update alternative thing?
[17:06] <michal__> yes
[17:06] <theinkman21> does anyone know of a good dvd copier other than k9copy
[17:07] <Theoretician> theinkman21: have you tried brasero disc burner?
[17:07] <alsuna> naomi_: you should only have one java installed. uninstall sun java and open jdk. then re-install sun java
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> check the package manager theinkman21.. of coruse you re really asking how to convert  a 8gb video dvd to fit on a 4gb disk right?
[17:07] <theinkman21> i need to copy it to my hard drive
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> theinkman21:  to hard drive as an ISO file? or a video file?
[17:08] <theinkman21> video
[17:08] <naomi_> jdk isn't in my list of installed software though. it says i only have sun installed
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> theinkman21:  theres dozens of dvd ->? video ripper tools out. Handbreak is popular. ogmrip is also popular
[17:09] <Theoretician> theinkman21: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291419
[17:09] <alsuna> naomi_: what is the output of "java -version"?
[17:09] <kyodai> why does half life2 not working with wine?
[17:09] <naomi_> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.7) (6b20-1.9.7-0ubuntu1~10.04.1)
[17:09] <naomi_> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> kyodai:  check the wine app database.

[17:10] <callaghan> Hi everyone, I just noticed the links to jigdo (the ones on the right) on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ are broken, they point to http://atterer.net/jigdo/ instead of the correct address http://atterer.org/jigdo/. Just wanted to let you know...
[17:11] <pumeust> i cant record anything on Sound Recorder. when i click on record, it asks 'Save recording?'
[17:11] <alsuna> naomi_: in synaptic search for "icedtea", then you'll find the openjdk to uninstall
[17:11] <evilsushi> milligan: yes
[17:11] <ruan> pumeust: try Audacity
[17:11] <ruan> !info audacity
[17:12] <pentester123> anyone know how to restrict access to ubuntu network shares?
[17:12] <Dofus4283> anyone know how to setup a remote desktop?
[17:13] <pumeust> ruan ok i'll try audacity. Sound Recorder had been working all this time, i dont know what happened
[17:14] <ruan> pumeust: maybe you already recorded something in sound recorder, and its asking you whether to save it
[17:14] <bytesaber_work> ~/.ssh/known_hosts.    how do I know which entry to remove for when i replace a host?
[17:14] <bytesaber_work> in Mandriva it's listed by hostname or IP.  very simple
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> Dofus4283:  from what os to what other os?  vnc is the common tool for it.
[17:15] <pumeust> ruan, no i just cant record anything to start with
[17:16] <ku6708> teamviewer works pretty good for remote desktop across platforms if you don't want to use vnc
[17:16] <ruan> pumeust: oh l
[17:16] <ruan> k*
[17:17] <Dofus4283> thanks
[17:17] <bytesaber_work> how do you edit .ssh/known_hosts
[17:17] <ayecee> bytesaber_work: with a text editor like vi, nano or gedit
[17:17] <bytesaber_work> ayecee, how do you know which host
[17:18] <bytesaber_work> none of the entries are listed with a hostname or ip as they should be
[17:18] <ayecee> bytesaber_work: the error message from ssh tells you the line number
[17:18] <ayecee> bytesaber_work: hosts and ips are no longer stored in cleartext in the known_hosts file
[17:18] <milligan> evilsushi, you pretty much just need a vhost in apache then, and set the documentroot for it.
[17:19] <bytesaber_work> ayecee, i see.  thank you
[17:19] <ayecee> bytesaber_work: i agree that it's kind of a nuisance.
[17:19] <bytesaber_work> not sure what you call it.   years of doing one thing and knowing how to take care of it suddenly gone.
[17:19] <interboy> hi
[17:20] <varun> hi friends,how to record video with guvcview,i tried man,but i cant understand ,can any one help me on this
[17:21] <evilsushi> milligan: what does the vhost look like?
[17:21] <sipior> bytesaber_work: you can use the -H and -R options to ssh-keygen to simplify matters greatly.
[17:21] <girasquid> If I want to figure out what options something installed from apt-get was compiled with, how would I do that?
[17:22] <milligan> evilsushi, let me make a quick example .. sec
[17:22] <ayecee> girasquid: I'd usually get the source rpm.
[17:22] <girasquid> ayecee: okay - how do I do that?
[17:22] <varun>  hi friends,how to record video with guvcview,i tried man,but i cant understand ,can any one help me on this
[17:22] <ayecee> err, source deb
[17:22] <brett_h> I haven't had an AMD/ATI graphics card in a while now, can anyone comment as to how well supported they are in Linux (as compared to Nvidia?)
[17:22] <ayecee> girasquid: apt-get source packagename
[17:23] <phoenixsampras> where is the package or PARTCLONE?

[17:25] <bluethundr> http://dpaste.com/526718/
[17:25] <bluethundr> what gives?
[17:25] <milligan> drc, the website managed to do that itself :)
[17:26] <girasquid> ayecee: okay - I did that, and it told me it was in svn, so I checked out the URL - but I still can't figure out where to find those configuration options. Is there a specific file I should be looking for?
[17:26] <spyros> hi all i was searching on google for a function but cant find it anywhere

[17:28] <samtate> hi, i need help with OSS. It normally works perfectly, but after a reboot it wont work - even manually restarting it
[17:28] <stephe> #divisionXIII@irc.worldnet.net
[17:28] <trans> I have a question, I have a soft called Latex installed on my system, is there anyway I can transfer that installed soft to my friends computer without downloading  it again
[17:28] <osse> I know I can use SSH to set up a SOCKS proxy, but can I make ssh use an existing SOCKS proxy?
[17:28] <spyros> anybody?????
[17:28] <msh210> trans It'd be easier for him to get it from ctan I would think
[17:28] <ohsix> spyros: on the console or something? it already says it in nautilus
[17:28] <spyros> console
[17:28] <spyros> nautilus does say it
[17:29] <Roasted_> Has anybody played with libpam_mount? I'm trying to get a share to mount when any user logs in and it's not flying. I'm curious if someone can help me through it so I can get these shares auto mounted on user login.
[17:29] <spyros> ohsix: thanks for responding!!!
[17:29] <trans> msh210: is it available from soft center
[17:29] <msh210> trans Sorry?
[17:29] <ayecee> osse: it would not appear so, not by itself.
[17:29] <ohsix> spyros: you can use pv, i don't know of anything that's just for copying
[17:29] <trans> msh210: ctan, is it an application
[17:30] <ayecee> osse: you'd have to use a socksifying wrapper like tsocks or something
[17:30] <spyros> ohsix: pv? program?sudo apt-get....
[17:30] <theinkman21> does anyone know about partitioning
[17:30] <ayecee> theinkman21: i saw a movie about partitioning once
[17:30] <msh210> trans: no... http://www.ctan.org/
[17:30] <evilsushi> milligan: well i created the cname record and it points to the server, but the vhost is not pointing to the proper directory
[17:31] <trans> msh210: Here we have problem with internet connection thats why I'm searching for an alternative method
[17:31] <milligan> evilsushi, note the documentroot setting in the vhost
[17:31] <osse> ayecee, ok, thanks. Maybe there is a simpler solution to my problem: I have access to two servers at my university, but since I moved I only have access to one, and I have to go via that to reach the other. Maybe there is a smart way of autmatically handling that?
[17:31] <msh210> trans oh I see... sorry, probably one of the more seasoned linux users can help you.
[17:32] <trans> msh210: don't be sorry, thanks for u help
[17:32] <ayecee> osse: you know how you can do "ssh server command", and it will connect to the server and run that command? What if command were another ssh command?
[17:32] <evilsushi> milligan: ahh i didnt link it to sites-enabled =) it works
[17:33] <evilsushi> milligan: thanks much
[17:33] <milligan> evilsushi, pleasure :)
[17:33] <spyros> ohsix: what is pv
[17:33] <dale_> how do i get help on irssi
[17:33] <spyros> cant find it on software center!
[17:33] <Pici> dale_: You can ask in #irssi
[17:33] <pumeust> grr now i cant get any sound at all
[17:33] <dale_> is there a command like /help
[17:34] <Pici> dale_: /help command too , also http://irssi.org/documentation
[17:34] <ayecee> dale_: yes, there is a command like /help
[17:34] <osse> ayecee, I tried that now but nothing happens. I think the command then is executed and then you automatically exit. So the command can't use any input
[17:34] <Induane> I've an odd issue where I have to reboot after burning an iso image in order to burn another iso.  I can burn regular data disks ok, but the iso burner says to insert a compatible disk and it never ungreys out.  If I reboot I can burn the iso image fine.  But it gets tedious having to reboot between burning each iso file.
[17:34] <dale_>  /help doesnt seem to work =[
[17:34] <ayecee> osse: try ssh server "ssh server2"
[17:34] <Induane> If I burn a data disk then insert a new blank dvd it will still then burn an iso
[17:35] <Induane> It only happens post burning of an iso image
[17:35] <zdubdub> hello, I'm running ubuntu on an HP dm4 laptop - the trackpad doesn't detect that there are two buttons on it, however
[17:35] <ayecee> dale_: you're using ubuntu?
[17:35] <zdubdub> is there a way to emulate a "right-click"
[17:35] <dale_> i am using ubuntu CLI
[17:35] <ayecee> dale_: what happens when you enter /help ?
[17:35] <dale_> nothing
[17:35] <osse> ayecee, I tried both with single and double quotes. Nothing happens :/
[17:36] <pumeust> i just reinstalled meerkat and it keeps freezing and i cant get any sound
[17:36] <ayecee> osse: try ssh server "ssh -t server2"
[17:36] <alvamatik> leave
[17:36] <ayecee> dale_: is package "irssi-scripts" also installed?
[17:37] <trans> I have a question, I have a soft called Latex installed on my system, is there anyway I can transfer that installed soft to my friends computer without downloading  it again
[17:37] <Theoretician> does anyone know how to proxy over ssh?
[17:37] <ayecee> Theoretician: I think there are people with this knowledge, yes
[17:37] <ayecee> i've seen someone do it
[17:37] <Theoretician> ayecee: do you know how?
[17:37] <sipior> Theoretician: have a look at the "-D" switch to ssh.
[17:37] <Guest65781> alo ekipa sta ima
[17:38] <ayecee> Theoretician: if I answer yes, are you going to ask me to tell you how too?
[17:38] <_Tristan> should I keep cpu frequency scaling on performance on a high load webserver?
[17:38] <Theoretician> ayecee: yes...
[17:38] <ayecee> Theoretician: perhaps you could have started with that question instead?
[17:38] <osse> ayecee, Woohoo! Thanks!
[17:38] <sipior> _Tristan: i guess only if you're interested in performance :-)
[17:38] <osse> ayecee, actually, it worked when I put -t on the "outer" ssh command :P
[17:38] <Theoretician> sipior: if i run ssh with -D, will it automatically proxy?
[17:38] <ayecee> osse: interesting
[17:38] <_Tristan> sipior: well my processors never get above 30C as it is
[17:39] <ayecee> Theoretician: what does it mean "automatically proxy"?
[17:39] <sipior> Theoretician: it will provide a SOCKS proxy which you can then feed to other applications (your web browser, i assume)
[17:39] <Theoretician> ah ok
[17:39] <sipior> Theoretician: have a look at the man page, it's quite informative.
[17:40] <Theoretician> sipior: got it
[17:40] <Theoretician> sipior: how do I set up firefox with it?
[17:41] <sipior> Theoretician: one of the configuration tabs should allow you to set a socks proxy to use.
[17:41] <zeroburn> Hay i need help with synaptic package manager, it says it needs to reinstall nvidia-common but cant find archive for it. any help?
[17:42] <ayecee> I'm not sure what error that is. do you have the original text of the error?
[17:42] <Rob235> hey
[17:42] <zeroburn> ayecee: hold on
[17:43] <Roasted_> Has anybody played with libpam_mount? I'm trying to get a share to mount when any user logs in and it's not flying. I'm curious if someone can help me through it so I can get these shares auto mounted on user login.
[17:43] <Rob235> i know this is very vague but any idea what could cause a ubuntu system to barely respond to anything? if i click applications it takes a minute for the list to drop down, programs freeze and grey out every 10 seconds or so
[17:44] <Theoretician> zeroburn: try sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
[17:44] <Rob235> nothing is responsive for at least 10 seconds
[17:44] <ayecee> Rob235: when did this start happening? was it working normally before?
[17:44] <zeroburn> ayecee: E: The package nvidia-current needs to be reinstalled, but I cant find an archive for it"
[17:44] <zeroburn> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report
[17:44] <Rob235> yea it just started today
[17:44] <Rob235> i cant think of anything i installed
[17:44] <ayecee> Rob235: does a reboot resolve the problem?
[17:44] <zeroburn> Theoretician: I did, but it still gives that error before trying to do anything
[17:44] <Rob235> nope
[17:44] <Theoretician> zeroburn: try sudo apt-get update (this updates the repositories)
[17:45] <zeroburn> Theoretician: also tried that, and autoclean
[17:45] <ayecee> zeroburn: try apt-get clean, then update
[17:45] <Rob235> im looking at the system performance, the cpu and memory are all in the low usage range
[17:46] <ayecee> Rob235: my first guess would be to turn off visual effects, as i've seen something like that happen before.. except not out of the blue like that.
[17:46] <_Synergy_> Rob235 run 'top' and see if anything spikes on cpu usage when this is happening
[17:46] <zeroburn> same error, doesnt help
[17:46] <Theoretician> zeroburn: what application is this for?
[17:46] <bytesaber_work> when is someone going to make a plauge for shitzu's?
[17:46] <Rob235> what is top
[17:46] <zeroburn> Theoretician: what do you mean what application?
[17:46] <naomi_> my windows on digichat, java platfrom won't close. pm windows pop up and it wont let me close them. a friend said its a problem with the coding or something.. anyone know any way to fix it?
[17:47] <Theoretician> zeroburn: what did it come with? what was the actual item you installed?
[17:47] <_Synergy_> Rob235 its a command line program like a task manager
[17:48] <zeroburn> Theoretician: I have no idea, i installed the nvidia drivers from the system-admin-hardware drivers aplication, and it broke my display, then uninstalled it (same way) now i cant open my package manager
[17:48] <Sary> Hi all -- need some help today, trying to determine if someone is remotely accessing my computer, or if that's even possible

[17:49] <osse> Is it possible to somehow have autocompletion of filenames when I use bracket expansion? I basically want autocompletion to work as if "{" never was there.
[17:49] <Theoretician> zeroburn: can apt-get update access the repositories at all?
[17:50] <ruan> Sary: check auth.log
[17:50] <zeroburn> Theoretician: yes, it is re updating as we speak
[17:51] <thesary> Hi all -- I need some help determining if someone is remotely accessing my computer, I found out I don't trust one of the people on my network at all.
[17:51] <Theoretician> zeroburn: my guess is that when you un-installed the nvidia package, you also un-installed something important
[17:51] <sipior> thesary: "last" will show you recent logins.
[17:51] <thesary> From what I can gather it's less likely on a linux based OS, but this guy isa computer programmer
[17:52] <zeroburn> Theoretician: thats possible, but how can this be fixed? update is done
[17:52] <thesary> sipior, what do you mean recent logins? Logins directly to my computer or someone else logging in from their own computer to mine?
[17:52] <Roasted_> Has anybody played with libpam_mount? I'm trying to get a share to mount when any user logs in and it's not flying. I'm curious if someone can help me through it so I can get these shares auto mounted on user login.
[17:52] <sipior> thesary: both.
[17:52] <thesary> Awesome so I just go into terminal and type 'last' or do I need to preface it with something?
[17:52] <sipior> thesary: no, that's it.
[17:52] <Theoretician> zeroburn: I'm not an expert, try reinstalling nvidia and if that fails, I have no idea
[17:52] <sipior> thesary: are you running any other services that might be used to compromise the machine?
[17:52] <equipo21> xhol
[17:52] <equipo21> HOLAS
[17:53] <equipo21> holA
[17:53] <sipior> thesary: (web server, file server &cet.)
[17:53] <thesary> sipior: no I am not
[17:53] <zeroburn> I cant, no installations goes past this error
[17:53] <thesary> this guy works for NASA though
[17:53] <thesary> I'm really worried...
[17:53] <equipo21> sswwwwswd
[17:53] <sipior> thesary: might they possibly have physical access to the computer?
[17:54] <thesary> yes.
[17:54] <Theoretician> zeroburn: take a look at your repostitory file. I'm not sure where it is but there might be an issue there
[17:54] <sipior> thesary: that's a problem.
[17:54] <appi_uppi> hi can I use any other command to check cpu utilization ubuntu 10.04 other than top -n 1 | grep "Cpu"
[17:54] <appi_uppi> command
[17:54] <Rob235> huh, a second reboot seems to have fixed the problem, weird that the first one didnt
[17:54] <ayecee> Rob235: weird!
[17:54] <zeroburn> Theoretician: what am i looking for (its in /etc/apt)
[17:54] <Shogoot> hey people. can anyone help mee find the name of the program that executes the "additional driver"?  so that i can call the program from command line?
[17:54] <sipior> thesary: you might consider talking the situation over with the local computer administrator.
[17:54] <Theoretician> zeroburn: just see if it may be empty. If things are missing, it is bad
[17:55] <Induane> Shogoot: its called jockey-gtk
[17:55] <Theoretician> zeroburn: gtg, good luck
[17:55] <Shogoot> Induane: thanks dude
[17:55] <Induane> Shogoot: if you need to find that sort of thing out in the future, right click on the applications menu and go edit menus
[17:55] <Induane> then nagivate to the icon
[17:56] <Rob235> anyone know when the mozilla daily builds repo is gonna have firefox point to 4.0?
[17:56] <Induane> hit properties
[17:56] <Induane> and it will show you what it executes to run that program.
[17:56] <Induane> back later, and no problem
[17:56] <Shogoot> Induane: rgr and thanks

[18:04] <jiltdil> ayecee:thanx
[18:04] <cache_surplus> what is the alternate for qmake? im trying to install using ./configure
[18:05] <nmerker> et
[18:05] <tommis> 2
[18:05] <cache_surplus>  ./configure: 23: qmake: not found
[18:05] <tommis> running 10.10
[18:05] <ayecee> cache_surplus: you may need to install qmake
[18:05] <cache_surplus> ayecee: not found
[18:05] <ayecee> !find qmake
[18:05] <ruan> !info qt4-qmake
[18:05] <ayecee> bingo
[18:06] <cache_surplus> E: Unable to locate package qmake
[18:06] <Faustus2> why are 90% of mindmap apps made with java? takes 2min just to start em up :S
[18:06] <cache_surplus> oh,, qt4 ill try that
[18:06] <ruan> cache_surplus: qt4
[18:06] <zeroburn> tommis: please use the name tag of the person to whom you are replying, just makes it easier to see the mesages directed at you.. But oka so you wish to add or remove an entry from the grub2 menu correct?
[18:06] <root__> #crazycraft
[18:06] <tommis> zeroburn: would work, yes
[18:06] <root__> fail.
[18:06] <root__> How do i make my own channel on this
[18:07] <Pici> root__: /join #channelname
[18:07] <root__> Thanks
[18:07] <zeroburn> tommis: oka thx.. hmm hold on e sec
[18:07] <cache_surplus> sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/etc
[18:07] <cache_surplus> WARNING: /tmp/kiax-0.8.51-src/qkiax.pro:7: Variable TARGETDEPS is deprecated; use POST_TARGETDEPS instead.
[18:07] <cache_surplus> installed qt4-qmake, got that message
[18:07] <cache_surplus> suggestions
[18:08] <cache_surplus> when they say use POST_TARGETDEPS what do they mean syntax wise?
[18:08] <ruan> cache_surplus: looks like a warning, not an error. though you can change the line
[18:08] <tommis> cache_surplus: you install qt4-qmake like this, "sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake"
[18:09] <cache_surplus> tommis: qmake is not install
[18:09] <cache_surplus> opps
[18:09] <cache_surplus> is NOW installed
[18:09] <tommis> mkay
[18:09] <cache_surplus> i pasted the ./configure so you could see what happend next
[18:09] <tommis> ooh
[18:09] <cache_surplus> this might be over your head tommis...
[18:09] <zeroburn> tommis: the easiest way to do this would be to install ubuntu tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/downloads/
[18:09] <cache_surplus> i haven't used configure in a while,,, its ubuntu lol
[18:10] <tommis> cache_surplus: noup, just language parrier
[18:10] <cache_surplus> tweak?
[18:10] <ayecee> cache_surplus: it's a warning, I wouldn't worry about it.
[18:10] <zeroburn> tommis: manualy configuring the grub menu is a nightmare to say the least...
[18:10] <cache_surplus> its a warning, no, it wont go further, its not installed. that ./configure should have done way more stdout
[18:10] <ayecee> cache_surplus: the qmake file was probably created for an earlier version of qmake, and the later version is letting you know that.
[18:10] <tommis> zeroburn: but would it work if i am on live cd?
[18:10] <nick> i'm having some troubles getting the executable bit set on files, when i go to properties->permissions i can click the allow execution thingy
[18:10] <cache_surplus> ayecee: ic
[18:10] <vanguard> Is there some way to make the window resizer a little bigger? Right now I have to aim withing a couple pixels to get the resize cursor
[18:11] <ruan> nick: what filesystem is this?
[18:11] <cache_surplus> yah im trying to put a hardy prog on 10.10
[18:11] <zeroburn> tommis: are you currently running from a live cd?
[18:11] <nick> ruan: oh, derp.
[18:11] <cache_surplus> i should know better
[18:11] <ayecee> cache_surplus: perhaps there's a more current version?
[18:11] <tommis> zeroburn: yes because i can´t boot to my own system
[18:11] <nick> ruan: ntfs
[18:11] <ruan> nick: mount it with ntfs-3g
[18:11] <zeroburn> oka hold on
[18:11] <zeroburn> tommis: oka hold on
[18:11] <tommis> zeroburn: because i can´t use keyboard to select kernel in grub
[18:12] <itmustbejj> I am trying to track down a memory leak in xorg, I have found the culprit in xrestop but it is unknown with a PID of ?, anyone know how I might go about tracking it down further?
[18:12] <tommis> i should report a bug later...
[18:12] <cache_surplus> ayecee: i dont think so, the website i downloaded from shows intrepid as last universe release
[18:12] <ruan> nick: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdX /mnt/x
[18:12] <cache_surplus> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kiax/0.8.51.dfsg-2-1
[18:12] <cache_surplus> take a gander
[18:12] <zeroburn> tommis: oka lets try this, navigate to your boot folder (default is /etc/grub.d)
[18:12] <cache_surplus> its a softphone for asterisk use
[18:13] <cache_surplus> im gonna see if i can use my google voice number for this asterisk server on my laptop ;)
[18:13] <ayecee> cache_surplus: maybe there's an updated version of kiax that has not yet been packaged.
[18:13] <cache_surplus> gvoice is a free sip account, so why not give it a whirl lol
[18:13] <zeroburn> tommis: no its not a grub bug, its a harware bug, normaly USB keyboards have this issue on certain MBs.. duno why
[18:13] <cache_surplus> ayecee: maybe, where can i find such ?
[18:13] <tommis> zeroburn: okay
[18:13] <tommis> zeroburn: i am on the folder
[18:14] <cache_surplus> ill look around again...
[18:14] <ayecee> cache_surplus: google led me to their homepage, http://www.forschung-direkt.eu/kiax2/
[18:14] <cache_surplus> im sure it did
[18:14] <cache_surplus> thanks
[18:14] <cache_surplus> doesnt mean its gonna work with 10.10
[18:14] <ayecee> nod
[18:14] <TheUnknown> Greetings.
[18:14] <TheUnknown> Wnat ks\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[18:14] <TheUnknown> whoops.
[18:14] <cache_surplus> what keywords did you use ayecee?
[18:14] <zeroburn> tommis: oka, now there should be files with a 2 digit prefix eg 10_linux or 20_memtest86+.. to which of these operating systems do you wish to bot?
[18:14] <theholder> hi
[18:15] <TheUnknown> Whats the difference between completely removing an uninstalling using synaptic ?
[18:15] <TheUnknown> and*
[18:15] <ayecee> cache_surplus: yeah, kinda looks dead
[18:15] <tommis> zeroburn: the ubuntu 10.10 i have got installed
[18:15] <cache_surplus> ayecee: Developer Forum (requires login)
[18:15] <ayecee> cache_surplus: no wait, they have windows builds up to 2009
[18:15] <zee313> how to run windows media streams on my ubuntu?
[18:16] <cache_surplus> not running windoze...
[18:16] <cache_surplus> strickly linux here in this household
[18:16] <tommis> zeroburn: but i only wan´t one kernel entry
[18:16] <ayecee> cache_surplus: right, I'm sayign that the project may not actually be dead. however, you're still left with the chore of getting a soruce tarball and making it work somehow.
[18:16] <cache_surplus> even if i used virtual instance of windoze it would sound like crap voice wise
[18:16] <zeroburn> tommis: oka now you need to find the file that corresponds to that then (probly xx_linux)
[18:16] <tommis> zeroburn: i´ve only got ubuntu on this machine
[18:16] <theholder> zee131: install the gstreamer plugins
[18:16] <TheUnknown> It says "mark for removal" and "mark for complete removal". Whats the difference ?
[18:16] <nick> ruan: Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
[18:16] <cache_surplus> ayecee: true, one that is 10.10 friendly
[18:16] <cache_surplus> in freebsd its not an issue
[18:17] <zeroburn> tommis: oka then give me the list of files with a 2 digit prefix
[18:17] <cache_surplus> rarely i should say
[18:17] <tommis> there is 10_linux  20_linux_xen
[18:17] <tommis> zeroburn:
[18:17] <cache_surplus> also that site you got for your "google" search, is just an info page
[18:17] <cache_surplus> ill check source forge
[18:17] <zeroburn> tommis: oka, when you are inside grub. what is the default entry listed? is it the incorrect one?
[18:18] <ruan> nick: unmount(umount) it first
[18:18] <zeroburn> tommis: in other words, do you want to go to the second entry, or a third or so forth?
[18:18] <tommis> zeroburn: no i just need on kernel, so it boots to it automaticly
[18:18] <cache_surplus> ayecee: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kiax/ might work, however, it looks like the same version
[18:18] <vanguard> exit
[18:18] <tommis> zeroburn: i wan´t older kernel entry removed
[18:19] <nick> ruan: umount: /dev/sdb is not mounted (according to mtab)
[18:19] <zeroburn> tommis: oka but the files you gave me suggests there are only 2 entries in the grub menu?
[18:19] <cache_surplus> i guess ekiga and empathy or things of this nature seemed to work for ubuntu rather than try to the avg desktop user work less.
[18:19] <cache_surplus> leaving out the fun and fascination of ./configure
[18:19] <trism> TheUnknown: complete removal should remove system configuration files for the package too
[18:20] <tommis> zeroburn: here is full ls: 00_header  05_debian_theme  10_linux  20_linux_xen  20_memtest86+  30_os-prober  40_custom  41_custom  README
[18:20] <nick> ruan: umount: /dev/sdb is not mounted (according to mtab)
[18:20] <Rob235> every instance variable that you have a property thats set to retain you have to release in dealloc right?
[18:20] <Rob235> oops wrong channel
[18:20] <Rob235> sorry
[18:20] <cache_surplus> yep, the gui ubuntu software center grabbed it, said, wrong arch... sighs..
[18:21] <zeroburn> tommis: oka now the 10 entry should be the one highlighted when you get to the grub menu (ie the default option)
[18:21] <theholder> kk
[18:21] <theholder> sorr
[18:21] <theholder> -_-
[18:21] <tommis> zeroburn: and i want other removed
[18:21] <ruan> nick: are you sure it's sdb and not sdb1/2/3 etc
[18:21] <zeroburn> tommis: which means, the 20_should be  the one you wish to have left
[18:21] <nick> ruan: oh, i ment sdb1
[18:22] <zeroburn> tommis: yes, but we first need to know in which order they are for us to delete the other
[18:22] <cache_surplus> ayecee: however i just check out ubuntu software center, typed in iax and i got a few hits, SFLphone and Yate Voip Client. those might work,,, ill let you guys know later... in a day or two maybe lol
[18:22] <ayecee> :)
[18:22] <tommis> zeroburn: okay...
[18:22] <Tiberiu> hello
[18:22] <Tiberiu> I have a weird problem with the console
[18:22] <cache_surplus> ayecee: i wanted to try out x-lite but ya know, thats a mac/doze client... yawn
[18:22] <Tiberiu> it only shows stderr
[18:23] <zeroburn> tommis: oka navigate to /boot/grub/ and open grub.cfg
[18:23] <Tiberiu> also in C programs, the printf() function doesn't display anything in the console
[18:24] <Tiberiu> but if I do fprintf(stderr, "bla") it does work
[18:24] <ayecee> Tiberiu: has it always been like that, it did it change recently?
[18:24] <Tiberiu> it changed some time ago... like a month if i remember well
[18:25] <ayecee> Tiberiu: does it do the same thing via ssh, or only at the console itself?
[18:25] <Tiberiu> ayacee: hmmm... huh?
[18:26] <zeroburn> tommis: take the content of that file and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com and give the redirected website here so i can view your config file and edit it for you
[18:27] <ayecee> Tiberiu: which part is huh?
[18:27] <sipior> Tiberiu: you haven't changed any characteristics of your terminal?
[18:27] <Tiberiu> I don't remember changing anything
[18:27] <sipior> Tiberiu: echo "foo" returns nothing else?
[18:27] <sparch> hi
[18:27] <Tiberiu> hold on a second, let me reboot into linux... can't really think in windows
[18:28] <sparch> Tiberiu, I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
[18:28] <cache_surplus> im going to run an asterisk pbx locally on this laptop. i have installed successfully and asterisk -rvv works. im in command prompt. i would like to try and run my google voice number off this server and use the ivr and other features of asterisk. any suggestions where to begin? also, my client will be iax2 compatible and is preferred for asterisk from what i can see so far. how to go bout configuring slfphone.gtk thanks. su
[18:28] <tommis> zeroburn: here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/586959/ have fun
[18:28] <sipior> sparch: save your pedantry for someone who has a use for it.

[18:29] <cache_surplus> bs_: look for users you are not aware of...
[18:29] <cache_surplus> bs_: check netstat for open ports to critical services in use remotely
[18:29] <tommis> zeroburn: oh noes, i think when i gave you the /etc/grub.d ls, i might have gave my live cd one
[18:30] <zeroburn> tommis: oka gime a sec or two
[18:30] <tommis> whooops
[18:30] <jOZe> hola
[18:30] <thesary> cache_surplus could you be more specific please

[18:30] <cache_surplus> thesary: finding a hacker is an art, not going to detail it all, jsut follow the steps
[18:30] <cache_surplus> sheshh
[18:30] <cache_surplus> thesary: take notes while your at it...
[18:31] <thesary> No I understand, but I don't know how to open netstat, please explain how
[18:31] <thesary> and I don't suspect a hacker, I suspect my network administrator is remotely accessing my computer,
[18:31] <thesary> and would like to disable the option.
[18:31] <cache_surplus> ?
[18:31] <cache_surplus> what are you talking about... disable what?
[18:31] <thesary> disable remote access
[18:31] <ruan> hmm. via what?
[18:32] <bs_> cache_surplus,can u tell me altr..if any  terminal  command can tell me so tell me how can i do so???
[18:32] <tommis> zeroburn: it is the same :/, ls http://paste.ubuntu.com/586959/
[18:32] <cache_surplus> we do not know if comprimised
[18:32] <thesary> I just don't understand what you mean when you say "check netstat for open ports to critical services in use remotely"
[18:32] <tommis> zeroburn: it is the same :/, ls 00_header  05_debian_theme  10_linux  20_linux_xen  20_memtest86+  30_os-prober  40_custom  41_custom  README
[18:32] <ruan> thesary: you can stop the daemon for remote access
[18:32] <cache_surplus> thesary: are you asking the questions here?
[18:32] <cache_surplus> or bs
[18:32] <thesary> yes, ruan, how do I do that?
[18:32] <zeroburn> tommis: oka good..
[18:32] <naomi_> pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc does nothing for me. is there an option to assign commands to keys like this or?
[18:33] <cache_surplus> just follow the steps... sheshh
[18:33] <cache_surplus> we will get to all that later...
[18:33] <cache_surplus> unless i get pissed off and do something else with my time
[18:33] <tommis> i hate that by default gnome terminal don´t use ^c and ^v
[18:33] <chinthaka> hi, I need a virtual machine software that can be used on ubuntu. can anyone please help me?
[18:33] <sipior> thesary: hi again. you might consider installing the program "nmap"
[18:33] <ruan> tommis: ctrl shift c & v
[18:33] <sipior> thesary: should be available in the "software centre".
[18:33] <tommis> ruan: i know but i haven´t used to that
[18:34] <ruan> tommis: same
[18:34] <thesary> sipior: researching now
[18:34] <tommis> desktop should be unified
[18:34] <sipior> thesary: i believe the graphical interface is also installed automatically, and you can use that to scan your computer directly.
[18:34] <pider> //msg Nickserv identity gunnar25
[18:34] <zvacet> chinthaka:  do you mean vmware or vbox
[18:34] <thesary> thankyou sipior, downloading now
[18:34] <juboba> pider, wtf?
[18:34] <cache_surplus> bs_: well... what have you done... so far that i suggested
[18:34] <zeroburn> tommis: oka so according to the config file, you have 4 menu entries:
[18:34] <zeroburn> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-28-generic
[18:34] <zeroburn> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (recovery mode)
[18:34] <zeroburn> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
[18:34] <zeroburn> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode)
[18:34] <FloodBot3> zeroburn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:34] <zeroburn> and then the memory tests.. is this correct?
[18:34] <tommis> pider: a big WHOOPS?
[18:34] <chinthaka> zvacet:yes
[18:34] <cache_surplus> bs_: also, what makes you think you been hacked? what are the signs...
[18:35] <zeroburn> tommis: awg shoot.. flood bot
[18:35] <ozkan> hi all! I have 10.10 installed. My laptop is Asus f81. ubuntu doesn't boot. it boots only with acpi=off option. what is the reason for this?
[18:35] <zvacet> chinthaka: you can install vbox from synaptic
[18:35] <ayecee> zeroburn: that looks correct
[18:35] <tommis> zeroburn: zeroburn i wan´t last two to be removed
[18:35] <chinthaka> zvacet:ok thank you very much
[18:36] <zvacet> chinthaka:  but you can read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973756
[18:36] <ayecee> ozkan: the reason is that linux's acpi code does not interact well with your laptop's acpi code.
[18:36] <sipior> thesary: if it isn't installed automatically, install the package "zenmap".
[18:36] <zeroburn> tommis: only the last two, does it boot correctly to the first entry?
[18:36] <ayecee> ozkan: it's hard to go into more detail than that.
[18:36] <bs_> cache_surplus, some files changed.and walpaper xhanged.any open differnt sites  but i cant open them..it happened with me
[18:37] <sherri> hello
[18:37] <ozkan> ok, thank you very much. is it harmful to use it with that option?
[18:37] <tommis> zeroburn: if i could press enter, yes
[18:37] <cache_surplus> bs_: sudo less /var/log/auth.log see if you can see unauthorized access under diff account, and check you /etc/passwd for timestamp of change
[18:38] <ayecee> ozkan: with acpi turned off, a lot of the power management functions are disabled. The laptop may run hot, or have less battery life than you'd expect
[18:38] <cache_surplus> bs_: ls -al /etc/passwd
[18:38] <zeroburn> tommis: it should boot the first option automaticly, after 10sec?
[18:38] <tommis> zeroburn: it dosen´t
[18:38] <ayecee> ozkan: it's unlikely to cause actual harm, though.
[18:38] <zeroburn> tommis: oka il have a look
[18:38] <cache_surplus> bs_: ls -altr / your file directories one by one, and see what files were touched last and by whom
[18:38] <Tibi> now this is really weird... apparently the console works just fine right now
[18:39] <Tibi> but for quite some time it didn't work properly...
[18:39] <cache_surplus> bs_: unplug from the internet right now and start sifting through everything i just said... start looking for files and timestamps to get a clue when things changed... thats the first step. check your logs as well
[18:40] <cache_surplus> again, log off right now... and sift
[18:40] <cache_surplus> come back when you have more info
[18:40] <ayecee> ozkan: if a bios upgrade is available for the laptop, there's a chance that that might fix it.
[18:41] <sparch> hi
[18:41] <ioria> help help help i'm going mad
[18:41] <zeroburn> tommis: overwrite your grub.config with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/586965/ and test it
[18:41] <naomi_> could one of you test something for me? im not sure if its only doing this on my os or if it does it for everyone.
[18:41] <BluesKaj> !ask |  ioria
[18:41] <ruan> can someone remind me the location of openssh-server settings?
[18:42] <ayecee> ruan: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[18:42] <ioria> it is possible that an eth1 works like a wlan0 ... a wireless .. i mean ????
[18:42] <zeroburn> tommis: it should select an entry named "ubuntu 10.10" and either after 2 or 10 seconds boot it
[18:42] <ruan> ayecee: thanks
[18:43] <zeroburn> ioria: no
[18:43] <ioria> yes it is
[18:43] <ioria> wtf
[18:43] <sparch> sure
[18:43] <grammar-nazi> ioria: Then why did you ask?
[18:43] <ozkan> ayecee: I made bios upgrades.. but it didn't change anything. now I downloaded 2.6.32 series kernel, and 10.10 works with it.
[18:43] <justin_> Hello, ubuntu 10.10, my cursor shakes slightly whenever I just have my finger sitting on it.  This is effecting delicate procedures and I'm wondering if their's a fix for it.
[18:43] <zeroburn> ioria: if it hase wireless extensions, you will be able to configure t with the iw or iwconfig utility
[18:44] <ioria> because sometime the ping does not work
[18:44] <ioria> only if i ping first
[18:44] <ioria> the ifup wlan0 gives me an error
[18:45] <ioria> but i'm connecting with the wireless
[18:45] <sipior> calling all linux bots.
[18:45] <Pici> sipior: eh?
[18:46] <velope> anything new at ubuntu area?
[18:46] <sipior> Pici: sorry, was testing a hypothesis that sparch was one of these GNU/linux bots.
[18:46] <ioria> zeroburn: can you explain it to me , please ????????????????????????????????????'
[18:46] <Pici> sipior: ah
[18:46] <tommis> zeroburn: done, i will now reboot *fingers crossed*
[18:47] <zeroburn> ioria: explain what? the fact that your wireless connection shows up as the eth0 device?
[18:47] <zeroburn> tommis: yep.. lets hope :)
[18:47] <ioria> zeroburn: can you explain it to me , please ????????????????????????????????????'
[18:48] <eltigre> hey, I have two stale processes I can't kill
[18:48] <eltigre> what can I do?
[18:48] <zeroburn> ioria: explain your setup? what are you using to connect to where?
[18:48] <milamber> !details | eltigre
[18:48] <eltigre> I tried kill -9
[18:48] <ioria> laptop with ubuntu and a winXP desktop
[18:49] <eltigre> it is the istanbul screen cast program when saving the video
[18:49] <aenima_sutemi> join undernet
[18:49] <eltigre> I am trying to kill the process with kill 9, won't work
[18:49] <milamber> eltigre: what was the output when you did kill -9? did you use sudo?
[18:49] <eltigre> I did use sudo and no output
[18:49] <milamber> eltigre: can you pastebin it?
[18:50] <eltigre> what?
[18:50] <xibalba> hey guys, way newb question here but i just added a virtual disk to my ubuntu lucid vmware guest, what's the proper way in ubuntu to load it up?
[18:50] <eltigre> the "no output"? Don't know how to pastebin that
[18:50] <xibalba> normally in freebsd i'd use sysconfig and have it fdisk/etc..
[18:50] <eltigre> and the command is just kill -9 plus the pid
[18:50] <naomi_> could someone check something real quick for me? wanna know if its just my computer doing this or if everyone on ubuntu has the same problem. .-.
[18:50] <xibalba> i've googled it but it keeps giving me lamp install stuff
[18:51] <xibalba> "ubuntu lucid add new hard drives"
[18:51] <eltigre> milamber, is there anything "more forceful" than kill -9 to kill a process?
[18:52] <zeroburn> ioria: please you the nickname tab, so i can see your replys
[18:53] <milamber> eltigre: not really. is it the same pid every time?
[18:53] <ThinkT510> naomi_: what is the problem
[18:53] <zeroburn> ioria: so you want to connect a laptop running ubuntu to a desktop running windows XP using a wifi card I presume?
[18:53] <eltigre> milamber,  I have two defunct processes like this
[18:53] <ioria> zeroburn : yes and it works... but... not always
[18:54] <eltigre> milamber, the PIDs are distinct, but stay the same
[18:54] <ruan> ok, how do i restart sshd?
[18:54] <xibalba> anyone?
[18:54] <ioria> and my interfaces file is empty
[18:54] <xibalba> ruan, restart ssh
[18:54] <xibalba> ruan, restart sshd
[18:54] <zeroburn> ioria: what happens on the "not always" times? does it not connect, does it give errors?
[18:54] <milamber> ruan: sudo service ssh restart
[18:54] <pdtpatri1k> \quit
[18:54] <xibalba> what's the best way to add a new hard drive ?
[18:54] <ruan> thanks
[18:54] <xibalba> too many people come and go
[18:54] <xibalba> messing up my bitchx
[18:55] <ioria> the ping is negative from Xp pc
[18:55] <xibalba> guys
[18:55] <xibalba> how should i load up
[18:55] <xibalba> a new har ddrive?
[18:55] <eltigre> I don't want to restart -.-
[18:55] <ioria> but positive from the ubuntu laptop
[18:55] <xibalba> google is giving me crap results
[18:55] <zeroburn> ioria: so the xp pc cant see the latop? or it the ping time negative?
[18:55] <ioria> and after the ubuntu ping the xp pc ping becomes positive
[18:55] <xibalba> hello?
[18:55] <ioria> and after the ubuntu ping the xp pc ping becomes positive
[18:55] <xibalba> am i muted?
[18:56] <ruan> xibalba: no
[18:56] <xibalba> well hot damn
[18:56] <drc> xibalba: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[18:56] <ioria> and my interfaces file is empty
[18:56] <xibalba> drc: thanks man i dont konw why google was struggling so hard w/my query
[18:56] <naomi_> pm'd you, @think.
[18:57] <xibalba> gparted?
[18:57] <drc> xibalba: you need to work on your goggle-fu
[18:57] <xibalba> hot damn, this has no gui
[18:57] <eltigre> multimedia sucks
[18:57] <xibalba> drc: probably right
[18:57] <ThinkT510> !pm | naomi_
[18:57] <Logan_> !google | drc
[18:57] <culb> Results for | drc on Google:
[18:57] <culb> --
[18:57] <xibalba> bah i gotta fdisk it myself
[18:57] <xibalba> figured there would be a nice app for that
[18:57] <Logan_> ugh, culb, I told you to turn that script off
[18:57] <drc> Logan_: ?
[18:57] <milamber> eltigre: pastebin the output of: ps -eO user -H
[18:57] <naomi_> I was just pm'ing a link. i didn't wanna post a link in here?
[18:58] <ruan> hmmmg
[18:58] <xibalba> is there a nice app to do all this for oyu?
[18:58] <xibalba> like freebsd's sysconfig?
[18:58] <eltigre> milamber,  http://pastebin.com/5n1behkY I grepped for istanbul
[19:00] <eltigre> hm
[19:00] <zeroburn>  ioria: oka I c... does the laptop have the samba shares installed?
[19:00] <zeroburn> ioria: sudo apt-get install samba
[19:00] <ioria> yes sure
[19:01] <milamber> eltigre: defunct processes are already dead
[19:01] <xibalba> this chan has so much activity it's hard to stay w/the convo. anyone know how to turn off the add/leave notifications in bitchx?
[19:01] <ioria> no... samba is ok
[19:01] <drc> xibalba: what client?
[19:01] <xibalba> bitchx
[19:01] <xibalba> drc
[19:02] <xibalba> apparently bitchx isn't in the ubuntu repo
[19:02] <theinkman21> what do i do about 11 segmentation fault
[19:02] <iceroot> xibalba: its no longer supported/in development
[19:02] <Pici> xibalba: bitchx? thats not exactly still supported, but you may be able to do /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS
[19:02] <naomi_> sigh. can i pm someone a second? -.-
[19:02] <milamber> eltigre: so it's not big deal, but if you want it remove it from the list, pstree will give you the hierarchy and you can kill the parent
[19:02] <eltigre> ok
[19:03] <Pici> xibalba: Are you actually using Ubuntu?
[19:03] <eltigre> thanks
[19:03] <lasha> naomi_ u can PM by right clicking on name and selecting personal message
[19:03] <lasha> naomi_ u can PM by right clicking on name and selecting open dialog window i mean
[19:03] <theinkman21> segmentation fault 11 what do i do
[19:04] <naomi_> i know. but i was told not to pm without asking. -.- and i just need one person to check something for me, to make sure its not just my computer, that this problem im having is with all ubuntu's.
[19:04] <Pici> naomi_: Ask in the channel then.
[19:05] <theinkman21> what do i do when i use k9copy on 10.10 and after a fresh install i get a segmentation fault 11 in k9copy
[19:05] <ruan> i cant seem to connect to my external IP address, but it is shared amongst all computers in my network
[19:05] <naomi_> i use digichats a lot, on java platform. and when a pm conversation pops up i cant close it. i cant close any windows. i was only pm'ing to give you the link to the chatroom to try it and see if you can close windows.
[19:05] <naomi_> i didn't wanna post a chat link in here.
[19:06] <ruan> then again, my external IP address is shared with hundreds of people
[19:06] <bonjoyee> theinkman21: try running from the terminal for any hints...
[19:06] <Pici> naomi_: ah. I see.
[19:06] <Pici> naomi_: Well, as long as the person you're talking to is okay with you sending a pm, it should be fine.
[19:07] <ruan> how can i connect to my external ip address if its shared with many others?
[19:07] <theinkman21> what command
[19:07] <Pici> ruan: What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[19:07] <ruan> Pici: sshing into my pc
[19:07] <ayecee> ruan: normally you'd have to configure the router providing the external address to forward a particular port to you
[19:07] <bonjoyee> ruan: port forwarding?
[19:07] <ruan> Pici: without the lan ip
[19:07] <ruan> bonjoyee: i have forwarded the ports, but it seems to be a different pc when i try to connect to it
[19:08] <ayecee> ruan: how so?
[19:08] <bonjoyee> ruan: or install something like hamachi...
[19:08] <ayecee> that is, what makes you think it's a different computer?
[19:08] <ruan> hmm hamachi. will that work on a phone? i need to ssh into my phone
[19:08] <ruan> ayecee: not the same ports are forwarded
[19:08] <ayecee> ruan: i don't know what you mean..
[19:09] <ruan> if i connect to port 411 of my local LAN IP, the connection is refused
[19:09] <ruan> if i connect to it with my external ip, it times out
[19:09] <xibalba> drc
[19:09] <xibalba> many thanks
[19:09] <ayecee> ruan: is port 411 forwarded to your pc?
[19:09] <ruan> ayecee: yes, but nothing is listening on it
[19:10] <ayecee> ruan: what is the external ip?
[19:10] <persapenseva> HIII
[19:10] <ruan> ayecee: 41.0.10.8
[19:10] <vacho> guys I want to zip an entire folder and keep the file permissions etc..how can I do that?
[19:10] <ayecee> ruan: I'm getting connection refused on port 411. that's positive, right?
[19:10] <ruan> ayecee: hmm..
[19:10] <ruan> times out here
[19:11] <ayecee> ruan: it's quite common in NAT setups that you won't can't connect to the external ip from inside, only outside
[19:11] <ruan> ayecee: i'll switch the port back to 411
[19:11] <theinkman21> i cant get rid of segmentation fault 11 on k9copy
[19:11] <ruan> then try to connect
[19:11] <ruan> 2 mins
[19:11] <bs_> is there any software to save our system by hacking?????
[19:12] <bonjoyee> ruan: is see the port closed...
[19:12] <ruan> ayecee: switched back to 411, try to connect now
[19:12] <ayecee> ruan: still connection refused
[19:12] <ruan> odd
[19:12] <eas> bs_: what?
[19:12] <ruan> sshd[31296]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 411.
[19:12] <jamess> good evening all, my ubuntu has got exploited, i see someone is running an ircd account on it. i see that they have added root access as well, how can i fix those please
[19:13] <b26> anyone know how to install the Elegant Brit GNOME theme for ubuntu 10.10?
[19:13] <ayecee> ruan: you have no local firewall, right?
[19:13] <ruan> ayecee: nope
[19:13] <LjL> jamess: reinstall from scratch. a compromised box should be "fixed"
[19:13] <LjL> jamess: i mean "shouldn't"
[19:13] <ninjai> is it possible to have 2 window managers running on 2 monitors?
[19:13] <bs_> eas,is there any software present in ubuntu that not allow hacker to reach  to our system????
[19:13] <ayecee> ruan: then it seems the port forwarding is not set up, or not set up the way you think it is :)
[19:13] <andreylosev> I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this?
[19:13] <eas> iptables!
[19:14] <ddbt_nl> is there an official guide or something for the new natty release that teaches you how to deal with unity and keyboard shortcuts etc?
[19:14] <GuyCanada> hey guys, im having trouble using my laptop as a media center, when i plug in the HDMI can i make it so HDMI is the only sound output? otherwise i get a strange echo from my laptop playing the sounds as well
[19:14] <ruan> hmm. should i reset my router to gain access to it?
[19:14] <andreylosev> elaborate please eas
[19:14] <bs_> eas,so no body can hack my system????is there any software present????
[19:14] <eas> IPTABLES!@#
[19:14] <ayecee> ruan: I don't know enough about your setup to answer that.
[19:14] <ruan> !ufw
[19:14] <eas> bs_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[19:14] <Pici> bs_: Do you have an ssh server installed? If so, I highly suggest that you install fail2ban.
[19:14] <andreylosev> is that for me?
[19:15] <ThinkT510> bs_: i suggest you read up on unix systems
[19:15] <ayecee> ThinkT510: that is a very thoughtful and complete suggestion.
[19:15] <b26> anyone know how to install the Elegant Brit GNOME theme for ubuntu 10.10?
[19:15] <Pici> iptables is a bit low-level for what bs_ is asking.
[19:15] <bonjoyee> ruan: confirm you are forwarding port 411 to the right computer...( local ip)
[19:15] <ruan> bonjoyee: it is forwarded on my router
[19:16] <ruan> tcp and udp
[19:16] <GuyCanada> is there a way to make HDMI the ounly sound output when i plug it in? so when i plug in hdmi i dont get an echo from my computer speakers playing at the same time as my tv?
[19:16] <bonjoyee> ruan: yes..but check you have entered correct local ip...
[19:16] <ruan> bonjoyee: i can connect to my local ip
[19:16] <ruan> hmm
[19:16] <ayecee> ruan: is your router perhaps behind another router? :)
[19:16] <ruan> ayecee: nope, only 1
[19:16] <ruan> brb
[19:17] <ayecee> ruan: could it be that the isp providing the connection does some filtering?
[19:17] <pentester> :/
[19:17] <bonjoyee> ruan: what i mean to say..is the router forwarding port 411 to the right computer running the service..?
[19:18] <b26> anyone know how to install the Elegant Brit GNOME theme for ubuntu 10.10?
[19:18] <An_Ony_Moose> How can I avoid the CPU getting hot enough to make the fan turn on? Does throttling help?
[19:18] <ThinkT510> !themes | b26
[19:19] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: that is not reconmended at all, it will get hot.. the fan will have to run. unless you have one mother of a heat sink
[19:19] <GuyCanada> can anyone help me with hdmi audio? i want hdmi to be theon ly audio output when hdmi is plugged in
[19:19] <ThinkT510> b26: it should just be a case of extracting/copying the theme to ~/.themes
[19:20] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: why wouldn't throttling help?
[19:20] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: (throttling as in lowering the CPU clock)
[19:20] <andreylosev> I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this?
[19:21] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: the transistors heat as current pass through them, even if you should pass DC (0MHz) trough it, it will heat up..
[19:21] <bonjoyee> an_ony_Moose: throttling will help but not so much as to turn off the cpu fan..
[19:21] <preetam> unable to access internet after installing ubuntu 10.04 ..DNS server problem
[19:21] <preetam> pls help
[19:21] <b26> ThinkT510: thank you
[19:22] <bonjoyee> preetam: can you ping ips? like 8.8.8.8?
[19:22] <ThinkT510> b26: np
[19:22] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: why do you wish to turn of the fan in the first place?
[19:22] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: I need the machine to run silently
[19:22] <b26> ThinkT510: there's nothing listed in ~/.themes directory though
[19:22] <An_Ony_Moose> even if that costs performance
[19:22] <preetam> bonjoyee: no network unreachable even I am unable to ping my router..
[19:22] <JJ_> Hello?
[19:23] <ThinkT510> b26: it usually is empty, paste the theme there then you can select it from where you normally select themes
[19:23] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: for that you will need a very lage heatsink, preferably with a heavy coeffiecient lower than 8degrees celsius
[19:23] <bonjoyee> preetam: how are you connected to internet?
[19:24] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: that's sadly not an option, seeing as this is a netbook... So noise is completely unavoidable without risking an overheat?
[19:24] <ThinkT510> b26: adding themes to ~/.themes/ makes them available in the themes list
[19:24] <preetam> bonjoyee i have connect through broadband. after excuting sudo dhclient eth0 I can only access internet. but i have to run it everytime i login..
[19:24] <Shyster> whats the command to start the gui from command line?
[19:25] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: yes on a netbook it is even more difficult... one moment, there might be another option, if you are wiling to open up and wire some things internaly
[19:25] <bonjoyee> preetam: not using network manager?
[19:25] <JJ_> Ok. for anyone alive out there, I am a windows user fed up of Microsoft's monopoly and lack of security. Can anyone tell me this much: OK, I try to use the Ubuntu Clam AV, but for some reason, it is out of date and won't update. Any help here?
[19:25] <ThinkT510> Shyster: startx
[19:25] <An_Ony_Moose> zeroburn: definitely not. Thanks for the help anyway :)
[19:25] <Shyster> thank you ThinkT510
[19:25] <An_Ony_Moose> JJ_: you don't need antivirus on linux
[19:26] <preetam> bonjoyee: network manger is disable. the icon is not appearing in the system tray after nm --applet.
[19:26] <ThinkT510> Shyster: np
[19:26] <zeroburn> An_Ony_Moose: hay noprob. good luck though
[19:26] <An_Ony_Moose> thanks :)
[19:26] <Shyster> is it possible to have both kde and gnome install ? and switch from one to another?
[19:26] <maco> preetam: check /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
[19:26]  * An_Ony_Moose considers programming an antivirus for linux called "obecalp"
[19:26] <Shyster> like 1 user use gnome and another use kde?
[19:27] <bonjoyee> preetam: check you /etc/network/interfaces file ....it must only have the lo interface defined for nm to work..
[19:27] <milamber> Shyster: yes
[19:27] <b26> blah
[19:27] <ThinkT510> Shyster: yes, you can select which desktop environment from the login screen (gdm/kdm)
[19:27] <JJ_> Ok, then lets say for some reason I was clicking on a link to a site and it redirected me to a windows virus, I know they do not run on Linux, but how would I get the sucker out of Linux?
[19:27] <b26> not having much work
[19:27] <milamber> !info kubuntu-desktop | Shyster
[19:27] <Shyster> cool ty
[19:28] <An_Ony_Moose> JJ_: it doesn't download thanks to a secure browser?
[19:28] <meganerdca> JJ_: delete whatever was downloaded
[19:28] <bonjoyee> JJ_	the sucker won't suck linux!!
[19:28] <ukdkbr> abarrett,
[19:28] <An_Ony_Moose> and what bonjoyee said xD
[19:28] <preetam> maco: ifupdown, managed = false
[19:28] <milamber> bug 1
[19:28] <preetam> maco: shall i make it true
[19:28] <maco> preetam: fix the falseness and reboot?
[19:28] <JJ_> And how would I know what to delete?
[19:28] <maco> preetam: right
[19:29] <JJ_> Its not like the virus magically tells you what the file name is.
[19:29] <moah> hello #ubuntu, my .bash_profile is not being evaluated when I start up gnome-terminal, how can I change that?
[19:29] <bonjoyee> moah: theres no .bash_profile in ubuntu by default..
[19:29] <An_Ony_Moose> moah: .bashrc
[19:29] <ThinkT510> !virus | JJ_
[19:30] <JJ_> what is "!virus"? A command?
[19:30] <preetam> maco: thanks now it is working
[19:30] <milamber> JJ_ the '!' tells the irc bot for the channel to 'say' something
[19:30] <maco> JJ_: its an instruction for the channel's bot (ubottu)
[19:30] <zvacet> JJ_:  read above link
[19:30] <An_Ony_Moose> JJ_: we have a bot here called ubottu . She explains stuff related to keywords prefixed with an ! (like !virus)
[19:30] <ThinkT510> !bot | JJ_
[19:30] <GuyCanada> does anyone know how to make HDMI theon ly audio output when its plugged in?
[19:30] <moah> bonjoyee: OK, thanks very much, I didnt know that, these files are from my old distribution.
[19:30] <cache_surplus> bbl, thanks for the help yo
[19:30] <GuyCanada> the onl*
[19:31] <GuyCanada> only*
[19:31] <JJ_> Oh
[19:31] <bonjoyee> moah: its either .bashrc or .profile
[19:32] <abhinav> hey, can anyone help me? i want to knw how can we execute a c++ file? I already made one but dont know how to execute it.
[19:32] <JJ_> Alright...here is another question, I am a noob to all this, so bear with me, folks. I tried downloading Avira for Linux, but I do not know how to install and configure the thing. Any tips?
[19:32] <ayecee> abhinav: you would have to compile it first with g++
[19:33] <BluesKaj> GuyCanada, some hdmi equipped cards need the souncard out to be connected audio in on the hdmi card, imilar to some tv tuner cards
[19:33] <gordonjcp> JJ_: what's "Avira for Linux"?
[19:33] <abhinav> ayecee: how?
[19:33] <JJ_> Avira antivirus for Linux.
[19:33] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: on my laptop under the sound preferences is where I change my audio in and out.  When I select HDMI the other audio ports go silent
[19:33] <gordonjcp> JJ_: oh, okay, why do you want that?
[19:33] <ayecee> abhinav: well, what's the filename?
[19:33] <rypervenche> Is it better to let Ubuntu install on by default on one partition, or should I make partitions for /, /home,and swap? My current computer is the latter, but I have almost run out of my 10GB of my root folder. What do you guys suggest?
[19:33] <bonjoyee> abhinav: g++ filename.cpp
[19:33] <abhinav> hello.cpp
[19:33] <gordonjcp> JJ_: if you look in your mailserver documentation it'll probably tell you how to use something similar
[19:34] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, i dont see different selections for hdmi etc in my sound preferences
[19:34] <meganerdca> rypervenche: I just do the single partition install myself
[19:34] <JJ_> I want it so I do not send Windows Viruses to other machines.
[19:34] <JJ_> By accident.
[19:34] <ashmew2> abhinav
[19:34] <aeon-ltd> rypervenche: 2nd one, reinstalls are nicer, swaps can be kept between reinstalled and used by multiple OSes
[19:34] <abhinav> bonjoy and ayecee :awesome! i ll try that. thanks
[19:34] <gordonjcp> JJ_: it's probably not in any way useful unless you're running a mailserver
[19:34] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: on the output tab there is a drop down list called connector
[19:34] <gordonjcp> JJ_: that's about the only time you'd be able to make much sensible use of an antivirus program on Linux
[19:34] <JJ_> Oh?
[19:35] <rypervenche> aeon-ltd: Then how large should I make my / folder?
[19:35] <ashmew2> abhinav: do a g++ hello.cpp
[19:35] <ashmew2> after that do a ./a.out
[19:35] <JJ_> Ok...Thanks.
[19:35] <gordonjcp> JJ_: I guess you could scan files stored on disk somewhere
[19:35] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, i dont see hdmi in that dropdown list, thanks tho.
[19:35] <ashmew2> JJ: Windows viruses will work only if you have wine installed most of the time IMO
[19:35] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: even then it's a faff
[19:36] <gordonjcp> you've got to really work at it to get the crappy viruses to run under Wine, they're so badly written
[19:36] <abhinav> bonjoy: hey, i did what u said but dont see anything happening
[19:36] <meganerdca> rypervenche: I am not a fan of multiboot, I am really good at backing my data up, so the headaches of multiple partitions are not at all balanced with the benfits for me.  This is very much a YMMV kind of thing.  It really depends on your workflow
[19:36] <JJ_> Ok, another thing. Would a windows virus that requires downloading that normally downloads itself onto a windows computer, download itself automatically on Linux?
[19:36] <saibot> hello
[19:36] <aeon-ltd> rypervenche: 8/12-15gb if you don't like installing a lot of stuff,
[19:36] <ayecee> JJ_: no
[19:36] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, any idea why hdmi wouldnt show up in that list?
[19:36] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: sorry, hardware tab\, profile list
[19:37] <saibot> How can I print comments with the Document Viewer ?
[19:37] <gordonjcp> JJ_: that depends; most of them require some sort of user interaction on Windows
[19:37] <bonjoyee> abhinav: after you do that you will find a file named a.out?
[19:37] <abhinav> in the same dir?
[19:37] <bonjoyee> yes
[19:37] <JJ_> Really?
[19:37] <bonjoyee> thats the executable....run it by doing ./a.out
[19:37] <gordonjcp> JJ_: even sites that attempt to trick you into downloading malware generally don't work right on Linux
[19:37] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: ive had viruses trying to hijack my Counter Strike 1.6 running under wine
[19:37] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: that's a remote exploit though
[19:37] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, dont see hdmi in there anywhere either?
[19:38] <abhinav> bonjoyee:k. thnks
[19:38] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: you get that in *anything* that runs a service
[19:38] <rypervenche> meganerdca: aeon-ltd: Well, I don't use multiple OSes....if I had to reinstall I would basically have to backup my /home folder then replace it once I'm done, right?
[19:38] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: Far less likely on linux
[19:38] <GuyCanada> meganderca, i get hdmi sound output tho so it should be here somewhere. the problem is i get hdmi sound AND internal speaker sound
[19:38] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: all the commands it was typing in the CS chat window was Windows
[19:38] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: yup
[19:38] <pider> problem with my bluetooth, will not turn on, when I click on bluetooth-icon it says it is on and when I click on propoties this window pops up an nothing happends : http://bildr.no/view/853077
[19:39] <meganerdca> rypervenche: thats what I do.  Actually I only have a couple of folders that I care about, but basically yes
[19:39] <aeon-ltd> rypervenche: yeah not a huge job, but if you're going to be tweaking installs (trying new OSes etc) then it saves time
[19:39] <bdamos> has anybody recently installed ubuntu server edition (10.04) with no configuration on postfix? i'm getting a postfix directory error when trying to restart my networking process
[19:39] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: you used to get a Windows virus that attacked IIS and sent a big long bogus path in, requesting something like http://www.gjcp.net/../../../../../windows/system/cmd.exe
[19:39] <rypervenche> Ahhh I see, thank you very much meganerdca and aeon-ltd ^^
[19:39] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: for me it is called "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output
[19:39] <JJ_> I see....one sec.
[19:40] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: as an interesting aside, you could often browse machines that were attacking you like that with samba, by firing in //attackers.hostname/ and poking around
[19:40] <GuyCanada> meganerdcd, i have digital stero duplex(iec958) and digita stereo(iec958)ouput+analog output
[19:41] <BluesKaj> GuyCanada, check your multimedia settings , the hdmi should be listed under phonon
[19:41] <meganerdca> GuyCanada: what device is providing HDMI for you?  I am using an Intel integrated GPU
[19:41] <ThinkT510> !server | bdamos
[19:41] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: yeah obviously...who said Linux cant be hacked..its just that its not really concentrated on
[19:41] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: well, if you leave a gap someone will sneak in
[19:41] <meganerdca> BluesKaj: phonon is KDE
[19:41] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, im not sure is there an easy way to check?
[19:41] <meganerdca> lspci |grep VGA
[19:41] <naomi_> How do I do euro signs or ctrl alt my vowels to do accents etc?
[19:41] <GuyCanada> blueskaj, what exactly does that mean? where are multimaedia settings located?
[19:41] <BluesKaj> meganerdca, oh , too bad :(
[19:41] <gordonjcp> ashmew2: you can steal a bank's armoured truck, if they leave it with the door open
[19:42] <rypervenche> I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 on an old computer, but it doesn't have a wireless card. How can I bridge my connection with an ethernet cable from my laptop?
[19:42] <BluesKaj> GuyCanada, sry < Iwon't interrupt again
[19:42] <v__v> gordonjcp, it still won't be easy actually. the doors might be guarded.
[19:42] <pider> dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/586977/
[19:42] <GuyCanada> blueskaj, no its fine i appreciate any help. I dont understand what your suggestion is tho
[19:43] <meganerdca> rypervenche: brctl
[19:43] <v__v> rypervenche, you can use a wireless adapter in that case
[19:43] <pider> and  http://paste.ubuntu.com/586978/
[19:43] <bonjoyee> rypervenche: using network manager on laptop?
[19:43] <meganerdca> rypervenche: brctl addbr br0
[19:43] <GuyCanada> meganderdca, i think i may have figured it out, im gonna test it
[19:43] <GuyCanada> meganerdca, thanks for the help
[19:43] <rypervenche> v__v: I have one, but first I want to install ndiswrapper, and I'd rather not hassel with getting the deb file for it.
[19:43] <BluesKaj> everything's changed so much since i used gnome, GuyCanada , just ignore me ..I use kde desktop, I forget what desktop uses what apps sometimes
[19:43] <rypervenche> bonjoyee: I am.
[19:44] <gordonjcp> v__v: you'd be amazed what turning up in a white van, wearing a high-vis jacket and looking annoyed can do
[19:44] <meganerdca> rypervenche: then "brctl addif br0 eth0 wlan0"
[19:44] <bonjoyee> rypervenche: then simply do edit conn> ipv4> shared with othres...
[19:44] <rcmaehl> How do I connect to wifi from terminal?
[19:44] <gordonjcp> v__v: a fluorescent yellow jacket and a pair of rigger boots is basically a comprehensive invisibility cloak
[19:44] <jiltdil> channel for puppy linux?
[19:45] <rypervenche> Ok, thanks all of you :)
[19:45] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: you probably want to lool at iwconfig, and possibly wpa_passphrase and wpa_supplicant if there is WPA encryption
[19:45] <ddbt_nl> is it possible to use a webcam with empathy while being logged on to msn?
[19:45] <v__v> gordonjcp : vow! am hoping you haven't tried that. that wud rather be a highlighting outfit than giving you invisibilty
[19:45] <rcmaehl> meganerdca: idk how to connect with iwconfig but I know how to scan
[19:45] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: yep true
[19:45] <naomi_> How do I disable/uninstall my built in webcam on here?
[19:45] <genii-around> jiltdil: Pretty sure it's just #puppylinux
[19:46] <jiltdil> ok thanx
[19:46] <andreylosev> I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this?
[19:46] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: well, if there is no encryption, just a "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <YOURESSID>" should do the trick
[19:46] <v__v> andreylosev, how are you here? :\
[19:46] <cdr> let's say firefox profile manager deleted a profile I didn't tell it to - how can I recover the profile directory, if that's even possible?
[19:46] <andreylosev> I have two computers :)
[19:46] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: then "sudo dhclient wlan0", assuming that wlan0 is your wireless interface.
[19:46] <gordonjcp> v__v: this is straying dangerously close to off-topic
[19:47] <BluesKaj> andreylosev, which wifi adapter ?
[19:47] <rcmaehl> meganerdca: what if the encyrption is wpa2?
[19:47] <gordonjcp> v__v: you'd be amazed where you can just walk on site because you are wearing high-vis and look like you're supposed to be there
[19:47] <jiltdil> genii-around: actuall i i have some installation problem i have an iso on my host and want to install it on my guest virtual box so on universal installer which ooption i have to choose i am confused
[19:47] <v__v> andreylosev, haha alright. check your ethernet settings and reset your encryption once
[19:47] <rcmaehl> meganerdca: also what if the essid has a space
[19:47] <andreylosev> some random usb adapter
[19:47] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: then generate a config file with wpa_passphrase "wpa_passphrase essid passphrase > essid.conf"
[19:48] <v__v> gordonjcp, i have no clue why this started. so am pretty sure am on topic :p
[19:48] <genii-around> jiltdil: virtualisation is not my specialty, sorry
[19:48] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: that filename is arbitrary, I just used essid.conf so I can keep track of more than one easily
[19:48] <andreylosev> BluesKaj and v__v : it's a tp-link tl-wn722n
[19:48] <gordonjcp> v__v: it's pen-testing.  Yeah.  So, security, which brings us back round to viruses.  Yeah, that sounds about right
[19:48] <v__v> gordonjcp, i sense sarcasm in it. :\
[19:48] <ashmew2> gordonjcp: easy there :D
[19:48] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: then "sudo wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /path/to/essid.conf"
[19:48] <naomi_> Anyone know how to disable/uninstall a built in webcam?
[19:49] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: "sudo dhclient wlan0"
[19:49] <andreylosev> it worked before rebooting, and now it appears to connect in the networkmanager applet but won't ping the router
[19:49] <bonjoyee> naomi_: may be by blacklisting the module?
[19:49] <sparch> I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Ubuntu, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Canonical Linux.
[19:49] <ashmew2> naomi_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1211371 maybe
[19:49] <ddbt_nl> is it possible to use a webcam with empathy while being logged on to msn?
[19:49] <naomi_> No idea what that even means bonjo, i'm a noob with this. only using it 2 days.
[19:50] <naomi_> thanks ash i'll read through it now.
[19:50] <Pici> sparch: Stop that.
[19:50] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: if the essid has a space, just enclose it in quotes, like "

[19:51] <earthmeLon> I've had my laptop connected to an external VGA monitor for a while now.  Today it's not detecting the display.  The display is plugged into the computer and is turned on.  Can someone help me diagnose what's going wrong so that I can get my secondary screen working.   I use separate X screens (which is how I want it).
[19:51] <meganerdca> rcmaehl: if there is wpa, use the wpa_supplicant line instead of iwconfig
[19:51] <JJ_> Ok. I am back. Now, a follow to the Windows auto-download virus; if I didi enounter such a thing, and it tried to start something, should I be concerned that although it did not execute on Linux, it is stored on my system and infecting others' windows computers?
[19:51] <JJ_> did*
[19:51] <JJ_> infecting others by e-mail?*
[19:51] <ayecee> JJ_: how would it infect others' windows computers if it's not executing?
[19:51] <earthmeLon> rcmaehl, if you are using wpa_supplicant, you must REMOVE network-manager.  wpa_supplicant will not work if network-manager is installed.
[19:52] <rcmaehl> kk
[19:52] <meganerdca> JJ_: it can only infect other computers if they connect to you via samba, http, or you email them the infected file
[19:52] <saibot> How can I print comments with the Document Viewer ?
[19:52] <earthmeLon> rcmaehl, Took me a few hours to realize how serious people were when they said that :P
[19:52] <rbil> my system doesn't see the Wacom tabletwhen I plug it in
[19:52] <wng> Does anyone know why the on-board eSATA on a Intel DX58SO2 board wouldn't work? When my drive is plugged in on boot ubuntu drops to a busybox shell, when it's hotplugged no new drives show up and no information is in dmesg
[19:52] <airstrike> hi. i have a huge memory leak going on right now. how can i find out what's causing it?
[19:52] <airstrike> i just started the computer
[19:52] <meganerdca> JJ_: it just does not magically jump from computer to computer
[19:52] <rcmaehl> earthmeLon: lol
[19:52] <UlTERiOR_> Hello, a bit of a noob question; I am presently trying to connect to a windows 2003 telnet server from my urxvt; apparently though my backspace is not correctly recognised, anybody knows what terminal settings i have to change?
[19:52] <ayecee> airstrike: what leads you to believe that it's a memory leak?
[19:52] <meganerdca> airstrike: I like atop and htop
[19:52] <JJ_> Oh....Ok....so the file would just sit there collecting dust then...
[19:53] <ayecee> UlTERiOR_: what happens when you hit backspace?
[19:53] <airstrike> ayecee, memory usage is escalating fast
[19:53] <airstrike> nothing open
[19:53] <airstrike> it could be a lot of processes being spawned too
[19:53] <UlTERiOR_> ayecee: apparently it seems to be a 'null' character or such
[19:53] <ayecee> airstrike: where are you seeing this? using what tool?
[19:53] <airstrike> system monitor
[19:53] <meganerdca> airstrike: htop can easily sort by memory usage.  The default system monitor can also sort by memory usage
[19:53] <ohir> airstrike: you can use top on console or sysmon applet to track memory hog
[19:53] <UlTERiOR_> ayacee: I had no problems connecting from a windows client..
[19:54] <ayecee> airstrike: it's common for memory usage to go up as the disk cache fills. It's not a bad thing.
[19:54] <wng> UlTERiOR_: might need to  use Backspace = ^?
[19:54] <ayecee> UlTERiOR_: a null character? what does it look like on screen?
[19:54] <bonjoyee> jj_	if you feel so insecure about the file you could always check it up with http://www.virustotal.com/
[19:54] <airstrike> ayecee, i -just- started the session
[19:54] <airstrike> and it's at 400mb
[19:54] <airstrike> was at 300mb when i first asked the question
[19:54] <airstrike> i only have about 1.5gb left :P
[19:54] <andreylosev> v__v and BluesKaj any ideas?
[19:54] <JJ_> Ok, well, if the virus did not execute, and just collecting dust in my file system, could it use my machine as a piggy back if they connected to my system through HTTP?
[19:54] <UlTERiOR_> ayecee: a square with '07' in it vertically
[19:54] <ayecee> airstrike: right, that's normal. unused memory is wasted memory, so the unused memory is used to cache files from disk.
[19:55] <UlTERiOR_> ayacee: apparrently not in my character set
[19:55] <JJ_> If a person connected though my system via HTTP?*
[19:55] <ayecee> airstrike: when the memory is needed, the memory is returned from cache.
[19:55] <wng> airstrike: what's the output of free -m, pay attention the the -/+ buffers/cache line
[19:55] <airstrike> ayecee, is it normal to have the 'loading' cursor on all the time?
[19:55] <naomi_> I typed "lsusb" in terminal and got the usb id number. then typed "dmesg | grep" and the number to find the driver. now how do i blacklist it??
[19:55] <airstrike> and a missing taskbar?
[19:55] <bonjoyee> airstrike: 400mb is not that bad...let it settle down...i have been using ubuntu without swap and just 2gb of ram....
[19:55] <ayecee> airstrike: no, that's not normal.
[19:55] <rcmaehl> Ubuntu really needs to have an easy way for any user to change the swapiness level
[19:56] <airstrike> gvfsd is using 100mb
[19:56] <UlTERiOR_> hm, maybe i shoud try strict vt100 emulation
[19:56] <ohir> airstrike: top will give you detail how much memory your disk cache uses. You can also use 'processes' tab in sysmon
[19:56] <rcmaehl> I'm actually surprised that a large amount of linux users don't know what swapiness is.
[19:56] <airstrike> gvfsd-trash is eating my computer
[19:57] <andreylosev> I got a usb wifi (tp-link tl-wn722n) adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data including pinging the router. How can I fix this?
[19:57] <ayecee> rcmaehl: i think that the average user should not need to know that.
[19:57] <airstrike> gvfsd-trash is at 80% CPU usage and gvfsd is using more memory every second
[19:57] <v__v> andreylosev, can you do a ifconfig and check ?
[19:57] <ayecee> andreylosev: does it work if you unplug the wifi and reconnect it?
[19:57] <ayecee> airstrike: does it do the same thing after another reboot?
[19:57] <andreylosev> ayecee, no it doesn't
[19:57] <JJ_> Here is another question, at the time of installing Ubuntu, what does home file encryption do? Does it protect against Windows virus downloads?
[19:57] <airstrike> and pretty much every process is in the 'poll_schedule_timeout' waiting channel
[19:57] <airstrike> ayecee, it did twice
[19:58] <ayecee> JJ_: no, it protects against someone who makes off with your computer
[19:58] <rcmaehl> JJ_: it prevents people on live cd's from seeing your files
[19:58] <meganerdca> JJ_: all it does is protect files in your home folder from someone stealing your laptop or computer.
[19:58] <meganerdca> JJ_: and that only works if you were logged out when the machine was taken
[19:58] <JJ_> Ok.
[19:58] <ayecee> airstrike: hmm. does the same thing happen if you log in as a different user?
[19:58] <JJ_> Thanks
[19:59] <airstrike> i have no other users
[19:59] <gordonjcp> JJ_: home directory encryption is really useful if you find modern disk drives too fast
[19:59] <ayecee> airstrike: could you make a user to test with?
[19:59] <airstrike> i guess
[19:59] <gordonjcp> JJ_: if you long for the days of 5.25" 3600RPM RLL drives, disk encryption is going to be right up your street
[19:59] <naomi_> Anyone, help with blacklisting a driver? No idea how to do it.
[19:59] <bonjoyee> airstrike: check "open files" in the processes tab in system mon..for that process...
[19:59] <ayecee> airstrike: the reason I ask is that I'm pretty sure gvfsd is per-session, so if it doesn't happen with another user, it's likely some corruption in your user files rather than a system issue
[19:59] <mouse> Does anyone have anyone have experience with evolution and yahoo mail?  I tried to setup my sister's mail with the same settings as my own and it keeps giving authentication errors.  I also tried pop.mail.yahoo.com, pop.mail.yahoo.com, imap.mail.yahoo.com each with and without .plus and ports 995 and 993 and nothing worked.  Any suggestions?
[20:00] <UlTERiOR_> hm, changing escape behavior kind of solved it ;p pretty obvious
[20:00] <yofel> naomi_: which one?
[20:00] <airstrike> going to logout and login with 'guest'
[20:00] <airstrike> brb
[20:00] <airstrike> bonjoyee, hmmm
[20:00] <v__v> andreylosev, had you connected the same adapater to some other OS system?
[20:00] <airstrike> i have -lots- of @/dbus-vfs-daemon/socket-XXXXXX open
[20:00] <airstrike> more than a thousand
[20:01] <yofel> naomi_: usually it's: echo "blacklist <module>" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/custom_blacklist.conf
[20:01] <yofel> naomi_: where you replace <module> with the name of the driver you want to blacklist
[20:01] <neurochrome> hey folks, having a 'mare trying to clean my applications menu.  I've done a fresh install, mounting my separate home partition at the time, and there  are a load of surplus menu entries.  I've tried removing ~/.config/menu/applications.menu and that does nothing... any ideas?
[20:01] <meganerdca> mouse: ports 995 and 993 are for encypted ssl sessions, make sure that is checked
[20:01] <bonjoyee> airstrike: i dont know what to make of it..but am sure someone here does...
[20:01] <mouse> meganerdca, It was.
[20:01] <neurochrome> most of the old unused, or manually installed apps have no taken up home in  "OTHER".  I cannot seem to refresh my menu to show only stuff that is installed
[20:01] <BluesKaj> andreylosev,  your driver is the rt73usb , which can be found here, http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
[20:02] <airstrike> i believe nautilus is to blame
[20:02] <BluesKaj> gotta go ..bbl
[20:02] <airstrike> i did update it a little ago
[20:02] <naomi_> yofel: i typed "lsusb" and got the id number for my webcam. then typed "dmeg | grep <id number>" and it came up "Found 1.00 Device Video Webcam" what do i do now?

[20:02] <meganerdca> gordonjcp: I am on a machine right now with an encrypted home folder, the performance is not that bad.
[20:02] <airstrike> except i hadn't logged out, so maybe it's just causing this for the first time now
[20:02] <airstrike> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1512193.html
[20:02] <airstrike> sounds like me
[20:02] <andreylosev> I transferred the output via flash drive :)
[20:03] <yofel> naomi_: that doesn't tell us the driver though, and I'm not sure how to get it from just that information :/
[20:03] <Khisanth> mouse: same version of Evolution?
[20:03] <naomi_> umm. so how do i find out the driver?
[20:03] <gordonjcp> meganerdca: I tried it just to see how bad it was, it made the machine unusable
[20:03] <Karen_m> With ext4, do you need to setup a block size?  For example, this drive is only going to hold very large files.  I think it will say block size is 4k, but does ext4 dynamically  use bigger blocksizes or something?
[20:03] <gordonjcp> meganerdca: although, I mostly do audio recording, so that really really hammers the disks
[20:03] <andreylosev> BluesKaj, so which one do I download?
[20:04] <meganerdca> gordonjcp: I keep my Virtualbox and VMware disk images inside the encrypted folder, it is not that bad
[20:04] <earthmeLon> Detect Displays under nvidia settings is not detecting my VGA monitor connected to my laptop.  Until today, I've had no problems.  I've tried rebooting.  Nothing is working v_v
[20:04] <yofel> naomi_: someone else might have a better idea, but 'lsmod' will show loaded drivers, you can then run 'modinfo <driver>' for everyone and see what sounds like the one you need
[20:04] <andreylosev> nvm found it
[20:04] <mouse> Khisanth, Good question.  I didn't check but mine and her's should both be up to date since I ran system update for her myself.
[20:04] <airstrike> okay, so i'm 90% sure this is caused by me trying to install nautilus elementary first, then updating nautilus later
[20:04] <airstrike> how can i fix this mess?
[20:05] <meganerdca> gordonjcp: I do that as well.  My laptop has never done more than 8 tracks at a time so still not an issue for me.
[20:05] <v__v> andreylosev, had you connected it to some other OS system in your reboot phase?
[20:05] <andreylosev> nope
[20:05] <naomi_> yofel: v4l1_compat            15495  2 uvcvideo,videodev is this it?
[20:05] <neurochrome> anyone know how to make the application show only installed apps
[20:05] <rjb1> trying to config crossover connection, both nm-applet display disconnected grey
[20:06] <bonjoyee> rjb1: you need to give them static ips...or have dhcp server on one of them...
[20:06] <v__v> andreylosev, updating the drivers should help
[20:06] <meganerdca> neurochrome: dpkg --get-selections |grep install
[20:06] <mouse> I had a similar problem trying to setup my grandpa's mail client too.  It took about half an hour before I found the right combination of settings.  I just can't remember them right now.
[20:06] <yofel> naomi_: that's a driver for video for linux v1 input, but it's used by 2 other driver, so that's probably not it
[20:06] <rjb1> bonjoyee how can i install dhcp server?
[20:06] <yofel> naomi_: what's using uvcvideo and videodev?
[20:07] <rbil> anyone help with wacom tablet?
[20:07] <bonjoyee> rjb1: dont need it if you are not going to use it often...
[20:07] <neurochrome> meganerdca, sorry, worded that badly, I want my 'applications menu' to only show installed apps
[20:07] <JJ_> Ok, another question, Windows auto-download virues, unless I had Wine on my system, would such a virus download automatically on Linux?
[20:07] <naomi_> yofel: videodev               40518  1 uvcvideo & v4l2_compat_ioctl32    11892  1 videodev. I really dont even know what any of these things mean
[20:07] <neurochrome> meganerdca, at present it shows old entries and cruft
[20:07] <v__v> brb
[20:08] <meganerdca> neurochrome: I thought it did that by default :)
[20:08] <neurochrome> meganerdca, not when you have a very old home partition that has done many releases
[20:08] <ThinkT510> naomi_: uvc is the driver for webcams
[20:08] <momo21> Some shortcut keys such as ctrl+alt+d to minimize all windows do not always work, any ideas why? I am using ubuntu 10.10
[20:08] <meganerdca> neurochrome: oh, I only have this problem with stuff I have added by hand
[20:08] <rjb1> bonjoyee: dhcp3-server, action "start" failed
[20:08] <neurochrome> meganerdca, that too
[20:08] <naomi_> yofel: uvcvideo               62819  0  this?
[20:08] <bonjoyee> rjb1: just give both the computers private static ips  in the same subnet..
[20:08] <meganerdca> neurochrome: you could replace the menu with the default one, I seem to remember having to do this once when I messed it up by hand
[20:09] <vanillaslice> hello

[20:09] <rbil> need help with Wacom tablet... Please
[20:09] <botcity> rbil: ask
[20:09] <neurochrome> meganerdca, hmmm, you'd have thought removing ~/.config/menu/ would have been all you need to do
[20:09] <rbil> Ubuntu doesn't seem to see it
[20:09] <Khisanth> mouse: well I just set it up a couple of days ago using the info on the Wikipedia page :)
[20:10] <meganerdca> vanillaslice: that is a complicated question, can you be more specific
[20:10] <Khisanth> mouse: using imap
[20:10] <bonjoyee> rjb1: no...then use the "shared to others" function of network manager...
[20:10] <botcity> rbil: whats the model
[20:10] <rjb1> bonjoyee: i have wifi, i want to share internet connection and files
[20:10] <mouse> Khisanth, Hmm let me look up wiki.
[20:10] <rbil> bamboo pen & touch
[20:11] <am3d> ehy
[20:11] <bonjoyee> rjb1: on you laptop(having wifi)...do...edit connections> select the ethernet interface> click edit> ipv4 settings? shared with others
[20:11] <rbil> ubuntu doesn't see my Bamboo Pen & Touch tablet, please someone help
[20:12] <bonjoyee> rjb1: all that in network manager...
[20:12] <meganerdca> neurochrome: you would think
[20:12] <naomi_> i typed "modinfo uvcvideo" and a load of things popped up about the usb video class driver, but i dont know what the driver is exactly or how to blacklist it.
[20:12] <erUSUL> !blacklist | naomi_
[20:12] <meganerdca> neurochrome: I seem to remember having to copy some files from /etc/skel or something like that
[20:12] <rbil> I've read all  I can find, but getting no answers
[20:12] <rjb1> bonjoyee: ok done, what should i do in my desktop?
[20:12] <neurochrome> meganerdca, hmmm
[20:12] <botcity> rbil: ? they should work fine ! you know how to use the terminal ?
[20:13] <rbil> It should just work
[20:13] <rbil> yes of course, can use terminal
[20:13] <bonjoyee> rjb1: nothing ..just set the ethernet iface to auto (dhcp)
[20:13] <naomi_> Ok but i dont know what the module name is?
[20:13] <erUSUL> naomi_: so ... « echo "uvcvideo" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf »
[20:13] <rbil> botcity: appreciate any help u can offer
[20:13] <rjb1> bonjoyee: i did that but it doesnt display the wired connection option
[20:14] <rbil> have compiz running if that makes any difference botcity
[20:14] <bonjoyee> rjb1: where?
[20:14] <rjb1> bonjoyee: nm-applet
[20:14] <erUSUL> naomi_: that would be uvcvideo; modinfo takes a module name as parameter
[20:14] <bonjoyee> rjb1: i mean...what computer?
[20:15] <rjb1> bonjoyee: both pcs display wired network disconnected grey
[20:15] <bonjoyee> rjb1: have you put in the cable?
[20:15] <naomi_> I pasted what you typed and it asked for my pw, then it just camr up "uvcvideo" underneath. is that it?
[20:15] <rbil> botcity: dmesg doesn't report that wacom tablet is even connected
[20:15] <naomi_> came.*
[20:15] <rjb1> bonjoyee: yes
[20:16] <botcity> rbil: what happens when you connect the tablet ..  and your running t ail -f /var/log/messages ??
[20:16] <rjb1> bonjoyee: tried the cable with another pc and it works
[20:16] <bonjoyee> rjb1: are the ethernet devices on both computers detected and working?

[20:18] <rbil> Lucid 10.04
[20:18] <rjb1> bonjoyee: what should i check?
[20:18] <bonjoyee> rjb1: have you made any changes to the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[20:18] <rjb1> no
[20:18] <botcity> rbil: wow that is weird ?
[20:19] <alexsander> anyone here using Unity on primary desktop, in a daily basis?
[20:19] <bonjoyee> check it...it must only have the lo interface defined..
[20:19] <Witchsong> I need some help - I have two versions of the NVIDIA driver installed, 260.19.06 and 260.19.36, where the first is from the nvidia-current package and the other I installed with NVIDIAs installer. Now an application has issues starting up because it uses files from both versions and that causes a mismatch.
[20:19] <rbil> botcity: wacom driver installed according to synaptic:  1:0.10.5
[20:20] <j5> anyone know why my firefox flash is messed up? lots of white blocks and artifacts appear on most flash
[20:21] <rbil> botcity: should I try installing the driver? or do I need to do something else to activate it? is it hotpluggable?
[20:21] <botcity> rbil: give me a minute i will look up something !
[20:21] <rbil> botcity: thanks
[20:21] <botcity> rbil:  it should work out of the box !
[20:22] <rbil> going to try and reinstall and see what happens. do u think compiz could interfer with it?
[20:23] <botcity> rbil: i have compiz running too so no. but you never know!
[20:24] <rbil> botcity: should it move the pointer around when i move my finger on the tablet?
[20:25] <rbil> doesn't do anything
[20:25] <rbil> but does light up when plugged in
[20:25] <metap0d> Hi everybody, I'd like to try 10.04.02 and was wondering how stable the 64 bit release is? I notice the site recommends 32 bit ... but I'd like the extra performance
[20:25] <rbil> will having mouse also attached interfer? only way i can use computer until i get this tablet working
[20:25] <soop> rbil: just reattached to my screen ... if you're talking bamboo tablets ... mine was working, then one day it wasnt
[20:25] <soop> i havent troubleshooted it yet but i know the tablet still works
[20:26] <soop> metap0d: chances are good you won't notice a difference unless your hosting vm's etc
[20:26] <rbil> soop: did u have to do anything other than plug in to get it working?
[20:26] <rbil> are u using Lucid
[20:27] <soop> rbil: nope ... it  pretty much worked out of the box
[20:27] <cylob> whens the next ubuntu release?
[20:27] <soop> rbil: i did have to enable it in ubuntu
[20:27] <soop> err not ubuntu i mean "gimp"
[20:27] <rbil> soop: how do u enable it?
[20:27] <metap0d> soop: Will I not be losing out on some memory and 64bit processing in a select few applications?
[20:29] <ThinkT510> !11.04 | cylob
[20:29] <alex86> hi, i  wanna install skype. which one you would recommend. what from the official web or there exist another one?

[20:30] <bittin> hi
[20:30] <nabeel> How are you?
[20:30] <j5> anyone know why my ubuntu theme changes when i do ctrl-alt-backspace(restart x)?
[20:30] <Zpix> hi all
[20:31] <elias> is there a way to get the 10.10 for purchase items in the 11.04 software center?
[20:31] <Zpix> I have to install windows on my system, now I just have ubuntu, can I install windows inside it?
[20:31] <Zpix> I have 100 GB free now
[20:31] <nabeel> Is it possible to log in to this channel using any IRC client like mIRC for Windows?
[20:31] <ThinkT510> elias: tried asking in #ubuntu+1?
[20:31] <elias> ThinkT510: thanks, will do so
[20:32] <ThinkT510> nabeel: yes
[20:32] <nabeel> ThinkT510: Thanx :)
[20:33] <ThinkT510> Zpix: you could dualboot, or install windows in a vm like virtualbox
[20:33] <botcity> rbil: what colour light lights up should be white until touched by pen ? also you should br getting from messages>>  input: Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Pen as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/input/input17  as for defective it is possible i guess , have you tried a reboot with it pluged in?
[20:34] <Hex_101> Is it normal for a laptop to show this on boot up (terminal stopped working [i.e. /usr/bin/bash/screen] after a reboot this happens]) http://cl.ly/5ayC
[20:35] <earthmeLon> By adding servers to resolv.conf, I am adding DNS servers that I will use to attempt to get an ip, correct?
[20:35] <ayecee> Hex_101: nope, taht's not normal.
[20:35] <Hex_101> what could hav caused it? no upgrades, no recent changes really that i can think of
[20:35] <ayecee> Hex_101: one can only speculate.
[20:36] <ayecee> Hex_101: however, powering off the computer, waiting a few ticks, then powering it on, may resolve it.
[20:36] <Hex_101> apparently 7 reboots did it, just got a text..
[20:36] <Hex_101> lol x
[20:36] <alex86> ThinkT510: can`t install from the terminal. Package 'skype' has no installation candidate
[20:36] <Hex_101> xD
[20:36] <Zpix> ThinkT510: if i wanna install windows dualboot, I have to reinstall ubuntu?
[20:37] <ayecee> Zpix: no, but it's certainly easier that way
[20:37] <mmerlone> Hi all, greetings from Brazil!
[20:37] <alex86> hi
[20:37] <rbil> botcity: not getting any of that following input in messages log when i plug in
[20:37] <ThinkT510> Zpix: that depends on how your disk is setup, if you have free space for a new partition then you'll need to reinstall grub2 to access ubuntu again
[20:38] <mmerlone> I am in a really big hurry to solve this: my php app sometimes cannot connect a remote mysql server, it seems that the server is running out of tcp sockets
[20:38] <mmerlone> can somebody help me?
[20:38] <rbil> botcity: just get this in messages when I plug in :  usb 3-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7

[20:38] <KB1JWQ> mmerlone: What does uname -a say on the server?

[20:39] <ThinkT510> Zpix: boot from a livecd and use gparted to edit your partitions
[20:39] <rbil> botcity: and this ... usb 3-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice  ... only 2 lines in messages
[20:39] <alex86> ThinkTK50: terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype doens` t work for me. it can`t find package
[20:39] <Zpix> ThinkT510: aha, thanks for the help :)
[20:39] <ThinkT510> Zpix: np
[20:39] <rbil> botcity: yes did reboot computer with wacom plugged in, same thing
[20:39] <rbil> botcity: white light on wacom goes brighter if i touch it.
[20:40] <ThinkT510> alex86: hang on a sec
[20:40] <botcity> rbil: yeah i get those also then the message i posted and one extra.
[20:40] <rbil> botcity: if use pen orange lite

[20:42] <claudio_> hi, problem: I've a system that doesn't turn off
[20:42] <claudio_> any ideas?
[20:42] <mickster04> claudio_: do you get to a cli?
[20:43] <rbil> botcity: guess I'll return it to store. must be something wrong with it then
[20:43] <botcity> rbil: maybe!
[20:44] <claudio_> mickster84, can you explain better your qstion?
[20:45] <mickster04> claudio_: well you could enter sudo halt if you do
[20:45] <mickster04> 'sudo halt'
[20:45] <botcity> rbil: have you usb3 or usb2 ?
[20:45] <mickster04> claudio_: which would shut down the pc? what do you mean it won't shuitdown?
[20:45] <rbil> botcity: usb2
[20:46] <rbil> any idea how to force a hotplug on commandline?
[20:46] <mickster04> !tab | claw
[20:46] <mickster04> sorry claw claudio disappeared
[20:47] <raido_> claw:
[20:47] <botcity> rbil: witch guide did you use ?
[20:47] <gordonjcp> is there some sort of option I can set so that when I install a package it automatically pulls in all the relevent -dev packages too?
[20:48] <ayecee> gordonjcp: not quite the same, but apt-get builddep will install all the dev packages necessary to compile a particular package
[20:48] <raido_> gordonjcp: only if the package has a "-dev" version. Otherwise, no, there is no general option for that.
[20:49] <gordonjcp> ayecee: yes, but the app I'm working on isn't packaged for Ubuntu
[20:49] <rbil> botcity: I looked at a number. but u say it should work out of thebox
[20:49] <rbil> the guides are confusing
[20:49] <rbil> they talk of different versions of Ubuntu, etc.
[20:50] <UlTERiOR_> rbil: add to /etc/modules
[20:50] <rbil> tried rewriting 10-wacom.conf file, but that didn't make a difference
[20:50] <rbil> UlTERiOR_: how?
[20:51] <rbil> what do I add to modules?
[20:51] <rbil> just the word wacom?
[20:51] <UlTERiOR_> just add an alias
[20:52] <rbil> an alias to what?
[20:52] <rbil> sorry, don't understand
[20:52] <UlTERiOR_> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1466770.html
[20:53] <indicator> I cannot set network time for some odd reason. the settings keep changing back to the previous which is so anoying
[20:53] <indicator> how do I fix this properly?
[20:53] <UlTERiOR_> if desired you can just echo wacom >> /etc/modules
[20:53] <UlTERiOR_> although there should be a more elegant solution
[20:53] <genii-around> UlTERiOR_: That won't work. You need write privs there.
[20:54] <genii-around> echo wacom | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

[20:57] <alemanio> Hi
[20:57] <dave50305> Hello
[20:57] <alemanio> I need some help configuring dual monitor in ubuntu 10.10
[20:57] <Dean_000> hola
[20:58] <henrique> ok. obrigado!
[20:58] <ThinkT510> !xrandr | alemanio
[20:58] <gordonjcp> ThinkT510: thankyou
[20:58] <rodd> hi
[20:58] <ThinkT510> gordonjcp: np
[20:58] <hansi_> tach' auch!
[20:59] <rodd> I've tried installing ubuntu through a usb device a zillion times and nothing
[20:59] <rodd> even wasted a couple disks, trying the regular install
[20:59] <gordonjcp> rodd: describe "nothing"
[20:59] <rodd> nothing = black screen
[20:59] <rodd> with blinking cursor
[20:59] <rodd> all the freaking time
[21:00] <rodd> did anyone else have issues installing through usb?
[21:00] <ghostface> Is there a way to configure ls to always default to -p?
[21:00] <gordonjcp> no, I just installed 11.04 from a USB stick last night
[21:00] <alemanio> @ubottu Thanks for the link
[21:00] <gordonjcp> ghostface: alias
[21:00] <rodd> it wasnt installing at all, then i tried unetbootin, I get to its screen but it doesnt load anything on ubuntu
[21:00] <rodd> perhaps its the shitty device of mine
[21:01] <ghostface> gordonjcp: Thanks
[21:01] <rodd> but it was working fine for any other thing
[21:01] <gordonjcp> rodd: I used usb-creator in Arch Linux to put the .iso file onto an 8G USB stick
[21:01] <gordonjcp> rodd: unetbootin is horrible
[21:01] <linxeh> what is wrong with unetbootin ?
[21:01] <alemanio> My question was regarding the panels. Previously in Ubuntu I kept my panels onfy in the primary monitor, but with maverick, the panels are expanded and since the second screen is way bigger is not so practical
[21:01] <gordonjcp> linxeh: it mangles the bootloader
[21:01] <linxeh> I've never had any issue with i
[21:01] <notk0> hello, I get this http://pastebin.com/9gHaRwqC as an error regarding the package manager
[21:01] <dave50305> I have this weird problem; whenever I click on any of the locations from the upperleft menu, the Totem Mediaplayer opens with "Cannot recognize stream". Does someone know how to fix this?
[21:01] <rodd> i tried the usb creator tool within the ubuntu iso
[21:01] <rodd> (on windows)
[21:02] <ThinkT510> dave50305: sounds like you need to install the appropriate codecs
[21:02] <rodd> gordonjcp when did the 11.04 come out
[21:02] <ThinkT510> !codecs | dave50305
[21:02] <gordonjcp> rodd: it's not, it's a nightly
[21:03] <rodd> i see
[21:03] <dave50305> I just want to open a folder
[21:03] <gordonjcp> rodd: it's just about usable, but it has problems
[21:03] <rodd> well ill give it a last try
[21:03] <rodd> if not will go with suse
[21:03] <gordonjcp> rodd: of the "Those whom the gods would seek to destroy they first send mad" ilk
[21:03] <ThinkT510> dave50305: folders are opened with a file manager, not a media player
[21:05] <botcity> rodd i would use unetbootin though i am not sure on the windows compatibility ..

[21:06] <rodd> too bad the only usb device I have is a creative zen v:m 60gb
[21:06] <rodd> slow as hell
[21:07] <botcity> rodd: 60gb usb ?
[21:07] <earthmeLon> I loved my Zen rodd <3.  Better than trying to deal with MTP support for the iPad.  Ewww
[21:07] <rodd> botcity well it has a hard drive of 60gb and you can use up to 16gb as a usb device
[21:08] <dave50305> ThinkT510: I left-click "locations" in the upperleft, then I left-click for example "Personal folder" OR "Documents"; then the Totem Mediaplayer appears, not the File Manager. Where/How do I change this? I already looked at "System"->"Preferences"->"Default Applications"
[21:08] <botcity> rodd: ok
[21:08] <rodd> earthmeLon it is good for music, i bought and ipod due to its bigger hdd and it suck
[21:08] <insanity99> hey guys, is it possible to go to a folder in the graphical explorer and then open the terminal in that folder? rather than opening the terminal and going 'cd really-long-directory'
[21:09] <disp0sed> hi guys, sorry I know bad forum but can't find gimp en forum. Anyone has an idea why a barcode image is showing to be CMYK in Photoshop and pure K in Gimp - got it returned from the printers.
[21:09] <insanity99> hey guys, is it possible to go to a folder in the graphical explorer and then open the terminal in that folder? rather than opening the terminal and going 'cd really-long-directory'
[21:09] <jrib> insanity99: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[21:10] <insanity99> thanks
[21:10] <ThinkT510> dave50305: is there a file manager option under default applications?
[21:11] <insanity99> jrib, ok installed that how do i use it?
[21:11] <gordonjcp> I think I have to get another disk, and install a wee family of Ubuntus
[21:11] <timposey> I have installed lemon pos but the database does not seem to be connecting.
[21:12] <gordonjcp> what's the oldest version of Ubuntu currently supported?
[21:12] <erUSUL> !6.06
[21:12] <ThinkT510> !8.04
[21:13] <jrib> insanity99: right click in nautilus should have a new option (might require nautilus restart)
[21:13] <hansi_> h3fly ???
[21:14] <insanity99> no i dont see it
[21:15] <dave50305> ThinkT510: No, there unfortunately is not. By the way, I can still open "This Computer" which does show the file manager. I have a guess what caused the problem; I was asked in Ubuntu Netbook Edition if I wanted to open a DVD with Totem by default.
[21:16] <shibboleth> hey guys.  I dual-boot win7 and ubuntu.  Somehow, Win7 was removed from the GRUB menu upon booting.  Is there any easy way to get it back?  Point GRUB to the partition that it's on?
[21:16] <insanity99> jrib, it installed but its not there on right click
[21:17] <ThinkT510> dave50305: i think you're looking under the right place to set the right app, but i'm not too sure (i'm more of an xfce user)
[21:17] <roffe> I'm trying to enable webgl, but it just will not work, does anyone know what is required to get it running?
[21:19] <sevith> I do echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to turn of ASLR in ubuntu but it returns the value to 2 every time I reboot!
[21:19] <sevith> I want this to be permanent any ideas?
[21:19] <sevith> It realls mucks with my files.
[21:20] <roffe> websites claim webgl isn't supported by my browser, yet I'm positive they are
[21:20] <sevith> :( Anyone
[21:20] <erUSUL> sevith: /etc/sysctl.conf <<
[21:20] <sevith> Roger!
[21:21] <erUSUL> sevith: or you can just put « echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space » in /etc/rc.local
[21:21] <nit-wit> roffe, http://guciek.net/en/js/webgl_intel
[21:21] <sevith> erUSUL, Thought about that one..
[21:22] <sevith> erUSUL, Im not familiar with this sys conf file. Would i just add this line into the bottom ? randomize_va_space = 0?
[21:22] <neurochrome> omg I think I'm about to shove this laptop straight out the window... is there a way to remove all menu entries in the main menu (applications) and start again?
[21:22] <erUSUL> sevith: afaics --> kernel.randomize_va_space = 0
[21:23] <neurochrome> for some reason my menu remembers old entries from a past install, and I've done everything I can think of to purge it
[21:23] <crischan> hey, i updated my 10.10 yesterday and today i get "/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_random_ilt" when trying to run eclipse or wxpython. is that a known problem?
[21:23] <dave50305> ThinkT510: I just tried reinstalling Totem. When it was removed, the file manager came up just as normal. But after reinstall it reverted back to opening "Locations" with it :S
[21:23] <sevith> erUSUL, Thx again:) Your always helpful.
[21:23] <neurochrome> short of manually removing everything and manually reinserting... I'm about done with this sh**
[21:24] <erUSUL> sevith: no problem
[21:25] <shibboleth> hey guys.  I dual-boot win7 and ubuntu.  Somehow, Win7 was  removed from the GRUB menu upon booting.  Is there any easy  way to get it back?  Point GRUB to the partition that it's  on?
[21:25] <ThinkT510> dave50305: sorry, i never use totem, i prefer vlc, also i use xfce, so perhaps somebody with gnome experience can help you in this channel
[21:25] <stram> hi there, i have an NFS mount with noac and lock flags, yet there still seems to be some degree of file system caching going on... the md5sums of files on the nfs server and nfs client do not match up until the nfs client remounts the nfs share. any hints?
[21:26] <sevith> Dude somone should REALLY make a keyboard where the caps button is...somewhere I dont hit it all the damn time
[21:26] <sevith> the Caps button is the worst places button on the keyboard
[21:26] <sevith> placed*
[21:26] <erUSUL> sevith: just swap the caps and control keys
[21:26] <dave50305> ThinkT510: Ok, thanks for your time.
[21:27] <sevith> erUSUL, which file ?
[21:27] <area51pilot> why would I be able to print to a one network printer and not another
[21:27] <sevith> erUSUL, You work on the ubuntu team or some sh1t?
[21:27] <neurochrome> jesus, such a simple task and yet nowhere/no-one can help me with it....
[21:27] <erUSUL> sevith: System>Preferences>Keyboard|Layout options
[21:27] <sevith> erUSUL, You know everything lol
[21:27] <erUSUL> sevith: no :)
[21:27] <sevith> erUSUL, Alright Ill check it out :) Thanks again lol (You probably get sick of me asking retarded q's lol)
[21:28] <erUSUL> sevith: no problem at all ;P
[21:28] <sevith> :)
[21:29] <bibic682> finally.....10.10 the hard way :)
[21:29] <ThinkT510> !yay | bibic682
[21:31] <neurochrome> isn't sudo apt-get install --purge --reinstall gnome-panel supposed to reset it?
[21:31] <neurochrome> how come my custom layout remains intact?
[21:31] <bibic682> had to upgrade from 9.04 to edit and keep 16 bit color depth on my SLOW 9250ati pci video adapter. Straight install to 10.10 defaults to 24 bit slowing me down!!!
[21:32] <erUSUL> !panels
[21:32] <neurochrome> !menus
[21:33] <neurochrome> erUSUL, I want to reset all menus, but tested that command with panels afterward as it didn't appear to do anything, and it didn't do anything to the panel, but it should right?
[21:34] <galorin> Hey, I have a working ubuntu 10.10 install, but no network hardware that works, how can I use the mythbuntu install cd to add the mythbuntu bits to ubuntu?
[21:34] <erUSUL> neurochrome: the menus are handled by an applet in the panel. not by the panel itself...
[21:34] <neurochrome> yeah, but I ran sudo apt-get install --purge --reinstall gnome-menus
[21:35] <neurochrome> and ... menu
[21:35] <gordonjcp> in the Ubuntu download page, how do I get just a list of perfectly ordinary mirrors?
[21:35] <neurochrome> neither did anything, but I would expect the gnome-panel command to reset my gnome-panel layout
[21:35] <gordonjcp> I don't want to use the "enhanced" download page because it chooses the slowest mirror
[21:35] <neurochrome> purging all settings, but it didn't
[21:36] <erUSUL> neurochrome: apt-get wont touch configurations in your home folder
[21:36] <erUSUL> neurochrome: or any user's folder
[21:37] <neurochrome> erUSUL, I have cleared all configs I can find in my ~/ folder
[21:37] <genii-around> roffe: Which browser ? I'm using firefox from mozilla-daily ppa  with libosmesa6 package installed, about:config variable webgl.osmesalib set to /usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.6   and webgl.prefer-native-gl set to true. seems to work on sites like http://www.nihilogic.dk/labs/worlds_of_webgl/
[21:37] <gordonjcp> I wish pulseaudio wasn't so horrible to work with
[21:38] <phonex01> guys how can i use ettercap to spoof DNS ???
[21:38] <phonex01> the same as using ARP to spoof the clients and spy on them !
[21:38] <erUSUL> neurochrome: ~/.config/menus/ ?
[21:38] <phonex01> join #backtrack4
[21:38] <neurochrome> erUSUL, yeah removed
[21:38] <mickster04> phonex01: you are not gonna get help to do legally dubious activities
[21:39] <phonex01> ok thank you !
[21:39] <neurochrome> erUSUL, I don't know how the menu is remembering entries!  I have a "bladerunner" entry that will not go (as well as about 50 others)
[21:39] <erUSUL> neurochrome: locate *.menu
[21:39] <neurochrome> I have run rm -Rf ~/.config/menu/
[21:40] <neurochrome> erUSUL, done... but I'll pastbin
[21:40] <roffe> genii-around, I'm trying both ff4 and the latest stable chrome/ium. Options that should be there in ff are not there for me. I use ati, and some site suggests there's an issue atm, but I haven't read up on it yet
[21:40] <dave50305> ThinkT510: I gave up. Installing VLC seemed to solve the problem. I prefer VLC on Windows anyways, so why not on Ubuntu ;-)
[21:41] <ThinkT510> dave50305: lol, glad you worked it out, thanks for reporting back
[21:41] <neurochrome> erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/n9AGAQ3D
[21:42] <meisth0th> hello
[21:42] <meisth0th> is there anyone using conky?
[21:42] <genii-around> roffe: Ah. I've got an NVidia with proprietary driver
[21:43] <ThinkT510> meisth0th: yes, but i'm no expert, i'll help if i can
[21:43] <meisth0th> ThinkT510: no i am not asking for help, i have a small python script to be tested, can you test?
[21:43] <ThinkT510> meisth0th: ah, in that case no, sorry
[21:44] <roffe> genii-around, despite every effort to run it in linux, I got it running through chrome os in virtualbox... though it's slow, and not really a solution :/
[21:44] <meisth0th> ThinkT510: it's no harm :) i've written a small script that shows ubuntu countdown on desktop
[21:44] <erUSUL> neurochrome: sorry do not see anything out of the ordinary there ... /home/username/Sort This/menus/applications.menu <<< except maybe this
[21:44] <neurochrome> erUSUL, just removed it and tried again
[21:45]  * neurochrome bangs his head against the wall
[21:46]  * erUSUL hands neurochrome an ice bag
[21:46] <WeThePeople> can someone help me edit source.list
[21:46] <ThinkT510> meisth0th: i only use the /etc/conky.conf file, i don't add any scripts and have no experience in doing so
[21:46] <erUSUL> WeThePeople: to do what?
[21:46] <WeThePeople> erUSUL, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-chromium-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-using-deb-package.html
[21:47] <neurochrome> erUSUL, I removed blender manually from the menu, and then removed my settings in the home folder and killed the panel, and it fails to reappear in the menu.  I'm not sure what the hell is going on.  Weird.
[21:48] <jstein> hi, how can i reconfigure the tty font on ubuntu? Its quite small now and i want the plain oldstyle font. (25x80 char?)

[21:48] <meisth0th> and tell me if you see a ubuntu countdown on your desktop
[21:49] <erUSUL> WeThePeople: what's wrong with just installing chromium-browser from the repos?

[21:50] <Seiryuu> Hello people... i'd like to ask if anyone knows of a browser that has decent support for CSS3 3D transforms? I am aware of the feature in Chromium, but it's incredibly glitchy.

[21:52] <pyghassen> error: unknown file system
[21:52] <pyghassen> grub rescue>
[21:53] <pyghassen> how to fix it?
[21:53] <gsfai> what did you type in?
[21:53] <erUSUL> pyghassen: boot into a livecd and do sanity checks on the hard disk and partitions
[21:53] <gsfai> erUSUL: the 'rescue' part makes me think that he actually typed in a command
[21:53] <erUSUL> WeThePeople: if you want newer versios of chromium you could add https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/beta
[21:54] <pyghassen> ok erUSUL I did but I didn't know what to do!!
[21:54] <erUSUL> pyghassen: check that all the partitions are still there then verify them... you can do both things with gparted
[21:55] <erUSUL> pyghassen: System>Admin..>partition editor
[21:55] <Paddy_NI> I wonder what software the creators of the Ubuntu font family used and if it was FLOSS?
[21:55] <pyghassen> erUSUL: I opened gpared and the system partition is black and I couldn't anything !
[21:56] <arand> Paddy_NI: Nope.
[21:56] <hihihi100> the update page just appeared, prompting me to update, but I cannot update due to an unstrusted package "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." w32 codecs, how do I update this particular medibuntu package?
[21:56] <erUSUL> pyghassen: black?
[21:57] <ThinkT510> erUSUL: black means unrecognised partition
[21:58] <Ale84> Hi??
[21:58] <erUSUL> pyghassen: you could not right click on it? choose verify ?
[21:58] <ThinkT510> erUSUL: or unformatted
[21:58] <pyghassen> yeah
[21:59] <pyghassen> that what I meant
[21:59] <hihihi100> how do I update w32 codecs?

[22:24] <KombuchaKip> How can I find the total number of lines in a bunch of files in a directory? cat `find .` | wc -l Doesn't work because cat chokes on spaces in file names.
[22:24] <erUSUL> folorn: lspci | grep -i vga
[22:24] <ThinkT510> phonex01_: virtualbox has always worked well for me, also it's best to stay with open source
[22:24] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: find . -execdir wc -l {} +
[22:25] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: oh; you want the total of all the files
[22:25] <Ale84> Anyone can help me with TwinView setup??
[22:25] <KombuchaKip> erUSUL: I understand the first part, but what is the {} + ?
[22:25] <phonex01_> ok i will take your advice
[22:25] <pvaldes> Hello. Has anyone eveer had a GLXBadContext error while compiling anything with OpenGL? I have the following problem: http://pastebin.com/06t028BJ
[22:25] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: cat * | wc -l
[22:25] <KombuchaKip> erUSUL: Yes
[22:25] <folorn> here it is erUSUL - 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[22:25] <pvaldes> I'm using Ubuntu maverick with a x86_64 architecture.
[22:25] <neurochrome> erUSUL, FYI, rm -Rf ~/.local/share/applications/
[22:26] <KombuchaKip> erUSUL: I need it to recurse into subdirectories.
[22:26] <stepnjump> pvaldes, how does it run?
[22:26] <neurochrome> killall gnome-panel --> works
[22:26] <folorn> any ideas erUSUL?
[22:26] <pvaldes> stepnjump, it doesn't have compiling issues. When it runs, it outputs an error (on the pastebin)
[22:26] <pvaldes> I also included my output of lspci and glxinfo
[22:26] <pvaldes> I think it might be a render issue.
[22:26] <earthmeLon> How horrible is this temperature for my laptop?  temp1:      +140.0°F  (crit = +208.4°F)
[22:27] <stepnjump> No I mean in general, is it much quicker than 32bits?
[22:27] <erUSUL> folorn: i am afraid you can not use that game with your graphic card :S
[22:27] <gordonjcp> stepnjump: what's a °F ?
[22:27] <pvaldes> stepnjump, well, it's a dell inspiron i5, I tried it with both 32bits and 64bits
[22:27] <stepnjump> oh excuse me!
[22:28] <pvaldes> I don't see a difference, but I'd assume the more proccess it'd use, it'd run better on 64 bits
[22:28] <stepnjump> do you see a speed difference pvaldes?
[22:28] <pvaldes> Not really.
[22:28] <stepnjump> ok cool thanks.. Good luck with your question
[22:28] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: { find . -type f -exec cat {} + ; } | wc -l
[22:28] <pvaldes> Thanks
[22:28] <erUSUL> KombuchaKip: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind
[22:28] <smw> pvaldes, 64bit is not much better than 32 in terms of speed. It does allow more ram to be used though...
[22:29] <KombuchaKip> erUSUL: Thank you.
[22:29] <blackplague1347> Can I put GNOME 3 on Ubuntu?
[22:29] <pvaldes> smw, I assumed that. stepnjump was asking, tho.
[22:29] <erUSUL> gordonjcp: farenheit those americans and their weird unit system ;P
[22:30] <folorn> are you serious ?
[22:30] <gordonjcp> erUSUL: is a °F bigger or smaller than a hogshead?
[22:30] <folorn> what kind of card do i need ? radeon or something?
[22:30] <erUSUL> folorn: the problem is; if you want to know.- texture compression is a patented tech so free drivers like the ones intel use can not inmplement it
[22:31] <erUSUL> folorn: you have to use ati or nvidia with propietary drivers ( beccouse with the free ones you'll have the same problem )
[22:32] <Abhish> Anybody know a clever way of restoring a linux partition after a Win7 restore?
[22:32] <gsfai> sounds like you need supergrub
[22:32] <folorn> so how could i do this without haveing to replace my video card or is there no other way?
[22:32] <erUSUL> folorn: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODEwOQ
[22:33] <Jordan_U> Abhish: Is the partition actually gone or can you just not boot it currently?
[22:33] <ThinkT510> !grub2 | Abhish
[22:33] <Abhish> gsfai I tried that. The partiton itself is a bit damaged.
[22:33] <erUSUL> gordonjcp: no idea ;P
[22:33] <gsfai> I would boot in a live cd and fsck
[22:33] <c4pt> tu
[22:33] <Jordan_U> Abhish: What does "a bit damaged" mean exactly?
[22:34] <Abhish> Tried that. The live USB sees the existing partitions and tries to use the journaling on it.
[22:34] <folorn> erUSUL well would you happen to know where to find a copy of linux quake2 then and ill scratch the linux quake4 idea :( or is there no other way ?
[22:34] <Abhish> Which causes the live boot to freeze.
[22:35] <Jordan_U> Abhish: This is an Ubuntu LiveUSB? Ubuntu live shouldn't be trying to mount other partitions at boot.
[22:36] <erUSUL> folorn: try openarena? or any of the other quake3 derivatives ?
[22:36] <erUSUL> folorn: playdeb
[22:36] <negev> hi, im trying to install grub from the live dvd with:   grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda4   but i get "could not find device for /boot"
[22:36] <folorn> got open arena i just miss quake2 :(, so there's no ideas for quake2 the actual game ?
[22:36] <negev> can i force it to install?
[22:36] <negev> all i have is a / partition so /boot doesn't matter
[22:37] <folorn> whats deb?
[22:37] <ThinkT510> !deb | folorn
[22:37] <biff2> Hi. I have an readline app called xyz and file with commands to xyz. If I do $ xyz < commands, then commands are succesfully executed in xyz, but after xyz comes across EOF, it finishes. How do I prevent it, so that I can type more commands myself?
[22:38] <Jordan_U> negev: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[22:39] <Jordan_U> negev: And note that you almost never want to install grub's boot sector to a partition, like sda4. You should run "grub-install /dev/sda" (after following the preparatory steps in that guide).
[22:39] <negev> Jordan_U: i do if im using a macbook pro :)
[22:39] <Jordan_U> negev: No, you still don't.
[22:39] <negev> really? oh ok
[22:40] <negev> its failing because /boot/grub/stage1 doesn't exist
[22:40] <Jordan_U> negev: Many guides state that you do, they are all wrong.
[22:40] <Abhish> Jordan_U no, its openSUSE. but their IRC is asleep. I should be able to repair the partition with any standard tool though.
[22:40] <pvaldes> I think the problem is that my VGA controller is: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
[22:40] <naomi_> This might sound really basic. But uh, i'm in terminal in Pictures and typed "ls" for the list. I'm just wondering how do i delete files through here?
[22:40] <pvaldes> and my OpenGL render is mesa
[22:40] <negev> Jordan_U: why don't i have /boot/grub/stage1?
[22:40] <pvaldes> as shown by glxinfo|grep render
[22:40] <meganerdca> negev: you probably need to specify the root folder, it helps to have it mounted
[22:40] <Jordan_U> negev: Because /boot/grub/stage1 is part of grub legacy, not grub2.
[22:41] <negev> ah
[22:41] <Jordan_U> negev: Follow the guide I linked to.
[22:41] <meganerdca> negev: that too
[22:41] <Pumpkin-> naomi_: "rm" for remove, as in "rm filename"
[22:41] <naomi_> thanks.
[22:42] <naomi_> and how would i remove 5 files at once?
[22:42] <nopf> naomi_: guess...
[22:42] <Jordan_U> Abhish: While any recent distro should have the tools needed, it's difficult to use them if you can't even boot said distro :) I don't think you'll have a problem booting Ubuntu Live.
[22:42] <nopf> naomi_: rm * <- remove all files. don't do it
[22:43] <naomi_> i mean is there a quicker way rather than typing out the 5 filenames
[22:43] <Jordan_U> !tab | naomi_
[22:43] <nopf> naomi_: rm *abc*.gif <- remove all gifs with abc in their name
[22:44] <nopf> naomi_: make sure you do not type 'rm * abc * .gif' or such
[22:44] <naomi_> all my files are just Screenshot-1.png, Screenshot-2, etc. so would rm *screenshot* .png work?
[22:44] <negev> Jordan_U: that failed, says i can only install grub by using blocklists and thats not recommended
[22:44] <Jordan_U> naomi_: If you use rm with a wildcard like '*' you should probably use the '-i' option to prevent accidentily removing something unintentionally.
[22:44] <negev> because i have GPT
[22:44] <Jordan_U> negev: You should create a BIOS boot partition.
[22:44] <nopf> naomi_: gah! don't do ' ' before .png! will delete all files!!
[22:45] <Abhish> Jordan_U agreed. However, getting opensuse on a liveUSB is a pain, and my netbook is the only machine with it on anymore.
[22:45] <naomi_> what? >.>
[22:45] <meganerdca> Jordan_U: macs don't use a BIOS, its all EFI, just like sandy bridge now
[22:45] <negev> can i do that without reinstalling osx?
[22:45] <Jordan_U> meganerdca: They still have a BIOS implementation, and that is what negev is currently using.
[22:46] <nopf> naomi_: oh, not that bad, sorry. your command only would remove als *screenshot* files , like screenshot.txt as well.... the '-i' advice is a good one!
[22:46] <naomi_> oh you mean dont leave a space before .png?
[22:46] <nopf> naomi_: yes :)
[22:47] <Jordan_U> negev: Create a small partition (around 1 MiB) with no filesystem and add the "bios_grub" flag to it. You can do this with gparted.
[22:47] <matcouto> Is anybody here testing Ubuntu 11.04!? I'm having some wireless problem, the connection is not stable. Any idea of what could it be?
[22:47] <Jordan_U> matcouto: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04
[22:47] <naomi_> So where do i put the -i? << rm *screenshot*.png >> where's the -i go
[22:48] <nopf> naomi_: rm * .png   matches *all files* and then .png which doesn't exist. but removes all files first and complains later :/
[22:48] <Cem> Hi
[22:48] <Cem> I need help
[22:48] <nopf> naomi_: rm -i *somepattern*png
[22:48] <coz_> hey all
[22:48] <nopf> naomi_: and then confirm each delete with <y><enter>
[22:48] <Cem> someone help me please
[22:48] <naomi_> somepattern?
[22:49] <smw> !ask | Cem
[22:49] <Cem> nice bot
[22:49] <smw> Cem, yes, I do like him
[22:50] <Cem> Well, I turned off my Ubuntu with the bad way to. Then when I tried to run it, it said that its filesystem was damaged. I just want to know if there is somehow to recover the information in the computer.
[22:51] <nopf> naomi_: whatever. *screenshot*.png . this is is called 'a pattern' cause it contains 'wildcards' (* and ? are the wildcards) ... the process of 'applying patterns to directory listings' is called 'file name matching' or 'globbing'
[22:51] <smw> Cem, did you try a bootable cd?
[22:51] <naomi_> Oh okay, thanks.
[22:52] <smw> Cem, maybe run fsck?
[22:52] <Cem> smw I tried some Linux CDs
[22:52] <Cem> Linux OS and things like that
[22:52] <Cem> even the lower ubuntu
[22:52] <Cem> the 10.04
[22:52] <Cem> I tried just to run, not to install it
[22:52] <Cem> and I couldn't...
[22:52] <smw> and it could not mount it?
[22:52] <Logan_> !enter | Cem
[22:52] <meganerdca> Cem: why not
[22:53] <negev> Jordan_U: ive created a 1MB partition, can't see how to set it grub_bios flag in gparted though
[22:53] <Cem> smw it appears "Filesystem damaged"
[22:53] <smw> Cem, what do you do where it says filesystem damaged?
[22:54] <Jordan_U> negev: Partition > Manage Flags
[22:54] <Rehan> Hi guys. I have a hard drive with two partitions. Win7 is on one NTFS partition. The other partition is unformatted and I want to install Ubuntu on it. I would like to use the Win7 bootloader even after installing Ubuntu. Should I install the Ubuntu bootloader onto the Ubuntu partition instead of on /dev/sda? Thank you.
[22:54] <Cem> smw what?
[22:54] <smw> Cem, "filesystem damaged". When does that show up?
[22:55] <Cem> when I started my computer
[22:55] <Cem> with different CDs
[22:55] <smw> Cem, have you tried to fsck it?
[22:55] <Cem> k sorry I did it again
[22:55] <Cem> what is fsck?
[22:55] <Logan_> !fsck | CEm
[22:55] <Logan_> s/CEm/cem/
[22:55] <Logan_> s/cem/Cem/ :P
[22:56] <Cem> !man fsck
[22:56] <smw> Cem, man fsck in a terminal
[22:57] <Cem> Can't dude, when I start my computer, it isn't like a terminal, doesn't have the group/host name there, and when I type help just a few commands appear
[22:57] <snake_> can a cpu be 64 bit, but not 32 -bit?
[22:57] <Cem> smw
[22:58] <smw> Cem
[22:58] <smw> snake_, no
[22:58] <smw> Cem, use a live cd
[22:58] <djstarr> ok
[22:58] <snake_> is there a project like wine, but for mac apps?
[22:58] <Cem> what's a live cd smw
[22:59] <djstarr> how do i add my gtalk account?
[22:59] <smw> Cem, the ubuntu install cd in "try" mode is a live cd
[22:59] <iceroot> snake_: mac apps are unix-apps
[22:59] <Cem> I tried with some versions smw
[22:59] <soreau> ! livecd | Cem
[22:59] <smw> djstarr, click on the email icon near the clock, then click chat.
[22:59] <b1lly> isetup a vsftpd server with users and permissions... locally, everything works good. i goto the ftp, i get prompted for username and pw, and i can connect (it directs me to the correct directory) fine. however, once i go outside of the machine...i get prompted for the username and password, and than it hangs
[22:59] <snake_> iceroot, unfortunatly they have a different binary than linux.
[22:59] <Cem> the Ubuntu 10.04, Linux OS and some others, all of them couldn't initialize
[22:59] <smw> djstarr, then edit -> accounts
[22:59] <soreau> snake_: A cpu is either 64bit or 32bit. You can run 32bit OS on 64bit, but not the other way around
[22:59] <Cem> appeared, some times, init error
[23:00] <iceroot> snake_: hm ok
[23:00] <smw> Cem, wait, you could not boot a live cd?
[23:00] <Cem> no
[23:00] <Cem> sm
[23:00] <Cem> smw
[23:00] <JockeTF> Anyone else having problems playing Flac with gstreamer in Natty?
[23:00] <smw> Cem, what happened?
[23:00] <djstarr> how do i add my gtalk account to irc?
[23:01] <Rehan> Hi guys. I have a hard drive with two partitions. Win7 is on one NTFS partition. The other partition is unformatted and I want to install Ubuntu on it. I would like to use the Win7 bootloader even after installing Ubuntu. Should I install the Ubuntu bootloader onto the Ubuntu partition instead of on /dev/sda? Thank you.
[23:01] <Cem> I turned off my computer by accidentally removing the plug
[23:01] <smw> !natty | JockeTF
[23:01] <snake_> I would start a project for mac apps on linux, but with programming also comes hair loss for me :P
[23:01] <Jaymac> JockeTF, wrong channel - try #ubuntu+1
[23:01] <j5_> hi can someone link the new grub page?
[23:01] <JockeTF> Jaymac: Ok, thanks!
[23:01] <Cem> I think it has stopped a Kernel update
[23:01] <Cem> or soemthing like that smw
[23:01] <j5_> --grub
[23:01] <smw> !grub | j5_
[23:01] <snake_> unless I don't have a goal, and I'm just going at random.
[23:01] <Logan_> !grub2 | j5_
[23:01] <negev> Jordan_U: after creating that partition and applying the changes, gparted now crashes out with basic_string::_S_Create
[23:01] <j5_> ah ty :)
[23:01] <smw> Cem, that makes no sense.
[23:02] <smw> Cem, what happens when you try to run an ubuntu install cd?
[23:02] <Cem> smw it keep at the same thing a lot of time
[23:03] <smw> Cem, I do not understand
[23:03] <Cem> it be like forever "trying" to do it
[23:03] <Cem> but never does
[23:03] <Cem> smw me neither
[23:03] <Cem> :(
[23:03] <Cem> I was just wondering if there is a way to recovery my information there
[23:03] <smw> Cem, I can't help you if you can't even boot...
[23:04] <smw> Cem, you need to plug the drive into a working system or use a live cd
[23:04] <smw> Cem, then you may need to run fsck
[23:04] <smw> Cem, sorry I can not help you.
[23:04] <Cem> smw I will use another thing
[23:04] <royale1223> i need help with resetting my panel.
[23:04] <djstarr> armour
[23:04]  * jarmour says hello room
[23:04] <djstarr> jarmour
[23:04] <Cem> what's the name.. the thing that holds information about the computer
[23:04]  * Cem says "Hi jarmour"
[23:04] <Cem> smw
[23:05] <Cem> Then there is no way to recovery information? :/
[23:05]  * jarmour nods at Cem
[23:05] <smw> Cem, you need a live cd.
[23:05] <Cem> !livecd
[23:05] <smw> Cem, nothing I can do for you if you have no system.
[23:05] <royale1223> i need help with resetting my panel.
[23:05] <b1lly> isetup a vsftpd server with users and permissions... locally, everything works good. i goto the ftp, i get prompted for username and pw, and i can connect (it directs me to the correct directory) fine. however, once i go outside of the localhost and try to connect from a different machine...i get prompted for the username and password, and than it hangs and never connects
[23:05] <Cem> smw I do
[23:05] <jarmour> I like Android
[23:06] <djstarr> is there is a terminal version of gtalk?
[23:06] <Cem> look

[23:06] <Cem> to just run
[23:06] <Cem> it's live cd?
[23:06] <taru> hey guys...so im building the wacom tarball and when i run configure i keep getting this: No package 'xext' found     -- i installed (and reinstalled) the xext package from synaptics...any ideas?  :o
[23:06] <smw> Cem, are you able to run the live cd?
[23:06] <soreau> taru: You need the xext -dev package
[23:06] <Cem> smw I think no
[23:06] <taru> that's the one i installed soreau
[23:07] <Jordan_U> negev: Did it appear to make the changes successfully before crashing?
[23:07] <soreau> taru: Specifically, libxext-dev
[23:07] <Cem> K i'll try other things smw
[23:07] <Rehan> Hi guys. I have a hard drive with two partitions. Win7 is on one NTFS partition. The other partition is unformatted and I want to install Ubuntu on it. I would like to use the Win7 bootloader even after installing Ubuntu. Should I install the Ubuntu bootloader onto the Ubuntu partition instead of on /dev/sda? Thank you.
[23:07] <Cem> thanks for help anyway ^^^
[23:07] <smw> Cem, then I can't help you
[23:07] <Cem> c ya
[23:07] <taru> ahh..thank you
[23:07] <taru> <3
[23:07] <smw> Cem, maybe you want to run memcheck?
[23:07] <Jordan_U> Rehan: Why do you want to use the Windows bootloader?
[23:07] <royale1223> Rehan: try install inside windows option
[23:08] <Rehan> Jordan_U: it seems easier and looks neater IMO
[23:08] <royale1223> Rehan: ie. open the livecd from inside win7
[23:08] <negev> Jordan_U: i think so, all i did was create the partition though, haven't set the flag
[23:08] <jarmour> djstarr you could run the talkgadget in lynx
[23:08] <jarmour> sudo apt-get install lynx
[23:08] <Jordan_U> Rehan: In practice it's harder and less reliable.
[23:08] <Rehan> royale1223: Isn't there a performance deficit if I install thru windows? I already created a partition for where ubuntu will go when I was setting up win7
[23:09] <jarmour> then open this
[23:09] <jarmour> https://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/popout
[23:09] <negev> Jordan_U: im apt-get upgrading from the livedvd to see if a newer version fixes it
[23:09] <lasha> hey guys I got a problem with flash player i think, in firefox 4.0 cpu usage goes up to 80% and the video playback also flickers, do I need to reinstall flash or update or anything?
[23:09] <royale1223> Rehan: is there? i dont think so. where did you hear this?
[23:09] <Jordan_U> Rehan: That is, trying to use the Windows bootloader as the primary bootloader instead of grub will make your life much more difficult.
[23:09] <pdominey> what do you think would be the impact of 100% utilization of swap space would be ?
[23:10] <oneliner> having installed python 3.2 how do i make it the "default" python version to use by programs?
[23:10] <royale1223> Jordan_U: i need help with resetting my panel.
[23:11] <tjiggi_fo> pdominey, it will result in thrashing
[23:11] <smw> !resetpanel | royale1223
[23:12] <majidkhan> ubottu: thanks
[23:12] <Rehan> royale1223: When you run wubi installer it says if you use the install inside windows option there's a drop in disk performance and no ability to hibernate.
[23:13] <mkanyicy> pdominey, your computer will be toooo slow
[23:13] <royale1223> smw: tried that but this is what i get. http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1591/screenshot2rw.png. not the orginal panels
[23:13] <Rehan> Jordan_U: thanks for answering. So Grub2 is much more reliable than Win7's bootloader? Why is that? Thanks!
[23:13] <riddlebox> what is the apt command to reinstall an app?
[23:13] <royale1223> Rehan: okay. didnt know that.
[23:13] <mkanyicy> --reinstall
[23:13] <smw> royale1223,  don't do gui stuff :-P. Sorry.
[23:14] <justin_> Hey, I have ubuntu 10.10, my touchpad seems to shake when I leave my finger on it, or move it slowly. It seems that palmcheck, or something similar, would help this. Any suggestions?
[23:14] <royale1223> smw: :D
[23:14] <Auriga> Rehan, There is also a 30GB limit the last time I saw it...
[23:14] <genii-around> oneliner: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /path/to/python3/executable/python-binary-name 1 && sudo update-alternatives --config python
[23:14] <Rehan> Auriga: yeah. i am only installing into a 10gb partition though
[23:14] <pdominey> tjiggi_fo: I'm not sure you'll see thrashing resulting from 100 swap use,
[23:14] <royale1223> smw: any idea why i'm getting this?
[23:14] <pdominey> mkanyicy: I think that's exactly what one would see
[23:14] <negev> Jordan_U: ok flag is set, now what?  try installing to the mbr again?
[23:15]  * jarmour loves everyone of you nerdy linux geeks
[23:15] <tjiggi_fo> pdominey, if you say so
[23:15] <Jordan_U> Rehan: Installing grub to a partition is unreliable because there is no embedding area available, while there are reliable alternatives that will still allow you to load grub from the windows bootloader they require a lot of manual setup.
[23:15] <smw> royale1223, what is wrong with it?
[23:15] <Jordan_U> negev: Yes,.
[23:15] <Auriga> Rehan, This is your first time with Linux?
[23:15] <royale1223> smw: i dont like it.
[23:15] <Rehan> Auriga: yep
[23:15] <smw> royale1223, it is just a different theme... right?
[23:15] <royale1223> smw: dowsnt look neat like the default panel
[23:16]  * dcc i am sorry to bother you guys but is anyone from china in here, need little bit of help please
[23:16] <Auriga> Rehan, You will regret only giving it 10GB, once installed you will like it.
[23:16] <Jordan_U> !cn | dcc
[23:16] <pdominey> mkanyicy: I think it would be really slow for user space applications - dont' know the system would actually crash
[23:16] <royale1223> smw: nope its like a diffrence in panel conf
[23:16] <pdominey> - just trying to get peoples thoughts
[23:17] <Rehan> Auriga: I think I'm going to be using Win7 primarily but I want Ubuntu just to explore in right now
[23:17] <smw> royale1223, go to system -> preferences -> appearance
[23:17] <smw> royale1223, what is the theme set to?
[23:17] <Auriga> Rehan, Sure for now, that is a smart move, what I mean is the more you use it the more you will like it.
[23:17] <Rehan> Auriga: if i'm going to keep all of my media (movies,pics,music) on my win7 ntfs partition, wouldn't 10GB be enough?
[23:17] <royale1223> ambiance + faenza icon pack
[23:18] <Rehan> Auriga: oh ok
[23:18] <piero> Hi! I'm testing the random efficiency with a script that sums n randomized vectors (angle and modules), which I posted here: http://pastebin.com/viXm8b9P . The problem is and getting too large modules. Is pseudo-random so bad or is there an error in my test?
[23:18] <smw> royale1223, not ubuntu-mono-dark icons?
[23:18] <Auriga> Rehan, Yeah it should be, but programs, updates etc. will eat away at 10GB sooner than you think I'm sure.
[23:19] <royale1223> smw: faenza dark actually
[23:19] <smw> royale1223, do you have ubuntu-mono-dark?
[23:19] <lasha> hey guys I got a problem with flash player i think, in firefox 4.0 cpu usage goes up to 80% and the video playback also flickers, do I need to reinstall flash or update or anything?
[23:19] <smw> royale1223, can you try it?
[23:19] <Auriga> Rehan, I started out like you, Wubi install & all of that, after a while I installed beside Windows, slowly over time I have increased the alotted disk space Linux has.
[23:19] <royale1223> smw: look at the screenshot again please.
[23:20] <Abhish> lasha, if you have Google Toolbar installed that will slow FF4 donw terribly.
[23:20] <lasha> Abhish I dont have google toolbar :s
[23:20] <Rehan> Auriga: I see. Was WUBI install your first intro to linux?
[23:20] <royale1223> Auriga: me too
[23:21] <smw> royale1223, as I said, I don't do gui. You can move your entire gnome config and start over if you want. However, many gnome programs may lose their config
[23:21] <alex86> question to python lovers, if i want to install python I need to install IDE for python as well?
[23:21] <Auriga> Rehan, No I installed on a laptop first.
[23:21] <gordonjcp> alex86: no
[23:21] <gordonjcp> alex86: you can use any editor you like
[23:21] <oneliner> genii-around: thats one sleek command, thanks
[23:21] <royale1223> Auriga: started with a 10g partition. now its about 400gb
[23:21] <negev> Jordan_U: working now, thanks for all your help
[23:21] <gordonjcp> alex86: come to that, you can use any editor you *don't* like if you feel masochistic
[23:21] <Bilz> hello
[23:21] <genii-around> oneliner: You're welcome
[23:21] <Jordan_U> negev: You're welcome.
[23:21] <Auriga> Rehan, I wanted to make games work under wine though, which the laptop would not do, so i put it on the Desktop.
[23:21] <royale1223> smw: how do i do that?
[23:22] <Bilz> i seem to have made gimp full screen so it covers the bottom bar and the top bar. how do i fix it!
[23:22] <shawndearmond> This may be a long shot, but I need help installing PDO_OCI on my 10.04 Desktop machine. I have instantclient 11.2, and it can connect via oci, but not pdo. Any takers?
[23:22] <Rehan> Auriga: oh i see. yeah i don't really play games at all
[23:22] <Auriga> royale1223, That's what I mean, the more you use it, the easier it is, & the more useful it is.
[23:22] <Auriga> Rehan, What is your primary usage?
[23:22] <Jordan_U> negev: You probably also want to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change what device the grub packaging is set to install to in the future.
[23:22] <Auriga> Rehan, I am now at the point with Linux where the only reason I have a dual boot with MS is gaming...
[23:23] <Rehan> Auriga: email,web,statistical analysis, and movies from time to time
[23:23] <royale1223> Auriga: i agree completely. i just found out today that there is a nerolinux available. :p
[23:23] <alex86> well, thanks. I have discovered that i have python already. if I install python 3 will it overwrite my older one - pyton 2.6?
[23:23] <Auriga> royale1223, nerolinux? As in Nero Burning Media Center?
[23:23] <Rehan> Auriga: what besides gaming being limited do you hate about ubuntu?
[23:23] <Jordan_U> negev: It will ask you other questions, just leave them at their default (some will be blank, that is normal). When it gets to the install devices question use space bar to select / deselect devices. Make sure that /dev/sda is selected but *no* partititions (like sda1).
[23:23] <royale1223> Auriga: thats why i like linux. surprises me everyday
[23:24] <royale1223> Auriga: yeah
[23:24] <Auriga> royale1223, Lol, Thanks for the info, I didn't know..
[23:24] <Auriga> Rehan, Some small things like how files are represented in windows...
[23:24] <Auriga> Rehan, Which has changed a lot of late for the good.
[23:24] <royale1223> Auriga: its trial ofcorse but u can find serials if you look for it.
[23:24] <Auriga> royale1223, Thanks.
[23:25] <WeThePeople> how do i get into SAM to change a password
[23:25] <royale1223> Auriga: you're welcome
[23:25] <Bilz> i seem to have made gimp full screen so it covers the bottom bar and the top bar. how do i fix it!
[23:25] <Auriga> Rehan, There isn't much to hate about Linux, or at least not Ubuntu because there is so much help available, & to be honest after a while you figure things out on your own anyways
[23:25] <Auriga> Bilz, Maybe F11?
[23:25] <alex86> gordonjcp: well, thanks. I have discovered that i have python already. if I install python 3 will it overwrite my older one - pyton 2.6?
[23:25] <Bilz> Auriga, no luck
[23:26] <Auriga> Bilz, Then I don't know, try killing it, then re opening it...?
[23:26] <Quji> hello all, can someone help me ? ubuntu just dont start
[23:26] <Quji> here is snapshot: http://img806.imageshack.us/i/16350431.png/
[23:26] <Auriga> Bilz, do you still have window borders?
[23:26] <gordonjcp> alex86: no, they will coexist
[23:26] <Bilz> Auriga,
[23:26] <Bilz> no
[23:27] <raido_> alex86: It should not, Only a revision would overwrite a previous version.
[23:27] <Auriga> Bilz, Are you using Compiz?
[23:27] <Bilz> Auriga, no. heres a screenshot : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16658950/Screenshot.png
[23:27] <Rehan> i just wish grub2 bootloader wasn't so ugly
[23:27] <gordonjcp> raido_: a revision with the same version, at that
[23:27] <Bilz> i dont know what i did, was working fine a few minutes ago
[23:27] <Achylles_> alex86, use aptitude to install that so it will deal with any issue
[23:27] <royale1223> Auriga:
[23:27] <Bilz> dragged it a little by accident and did that
[23:27] <royale1223> Auriga: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9499/screenshot4oh.png
[23:27] <itali-chan> hi, i need a prograr how cue splitter but for linux
[23:27] <gordonjcp> Rehan: why, what would you like your bootloader to look like?
[23:28] <Jordan_U> Rehan: It can be themed: http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/
[23:28] <itali-chan> please :3
[23:28] <gordonjcp> Rehan: and how often do you actually look at the bootloader anyway?
[23:28] <Rehan> Jordan_U: awesome link
[23:28] <alex86> gordonjcp: sudo aptitude install python ?
[23:28] <Auriga> royale1223, Nice, though it looks like its not offering more than Braserio...?
[23:29] <Auriga> Bilz, Sorry, that was a no to Compuz?
[23:29] <WeThePeople> nvr mind
[23:29] <Rehan> gordonjcp: anything is better than the current look. The grub version number has like 18 sig figs after it, I don't want the recovery options showing, the memtest, etc
[23:29] <gordonjcp> alex86: probably python3
[23:29] <alex86> gordonjcp: i just don`t wanna to delete all other pacjages like imaginary library, etc
[23:29] <naturalpsychic> how to format the whole hdd using terminal (cuz i can't do it in gui, cuz its been used) i need to install windows 7 as well as ubuntu
[23:29] <raido_> alex86: 3.1 actually
[23:29] <raido_> alex86: sudo apt-get install python3.1
[23:29] <Auriga> Rehan, That is simple to fix, though that is a minor issue as you see it for a minimal amount of time at bootup.
[23:29] <royale1223> Auriga: i havent tested it much yet, but is very nice to see nero on your pc right? like seeng an old buddy again.
[23:30] <Auriga> royale1223, Lol.
[23:30] <Achylles_> naturalpsychic, do you want dual-boot?
[23:30] <royale1223> Auriga: ;)
[23:30] <kashyapGada> how to install rpm files in ubuntu
[23:30] <Rehan> Auriga: yeah i looked into how to fix it. I guess I will just use the custom boot script and put in my own names into it
[23:30] <naturalpsychic> Achylles_: yes
[23:30] <meganerdca> nero... can't say I miss it
[23:31] <Auriga> The only thing in windows I want in Linux is PeerBlock... Other than that everything else is awesome.
[23:31] <royale1223> by the way barsero have problems ejesting the drive
[23:31] <alex86> radio: ok. thank you. i just though there is a safer way to upgrade it
[23:31] <Auriga> royale1223, Not my drives.
[23:31] <Auriga> Off topic I know, anyone here using Arch?
[23:31] <kashyapGada> how to install .rpm files in ubntu
[23:32] <royale1223> Auriga: glad to hear that. maybe a problem only with lg drive
[23:32] <Achylles_> naturalpsychic, I used to have dual boot in my machines, but I do not use that anymore. I use virtualization which I think is much better and practical as well
[23:32] <Auriga> royale1223, Lol, nope mine is an LG also...
[23:33] <Auriga> Achylles_, Crazy how well XP runs in a VM right? It's lightening quick compared to a hard install lol.
[23:33] <Achylles_> naturalpsychic, but, if you want to still have dual boot you can partition your hd with gparted
[23:33] <b1lly> isetup a vsftpd server with users and permissions... locally, everything works good. i goto the ftp, i get prompted for username and pw, and i can connect (it directs me to the correct directory) fine. however, once i go outside of the machine...i get prompted for the username and password, and than it hangs and never connects
[23:33] <royale1223> Auriga: maybe this particular model, or i hv screwed up something
[23:33] <Jordan_U> Rehan: Just so you know, the grub menu will be greatly simplified in the next version of Ubuntu.
[23:34] <Auriga> royale1223, Lol.
[23:34] <Rehan> Jordan_U: Would you happen to have a link on how to install grub2 themes? Thank you
[23:34] <royale1223> Auriga: :D
[23:34] <Jordan_U> Rehan: Read the README in http://retro.apebox.org/grubthemes/directhex-grub-themes-00000010.tar.gz
[23:34] <Achylles_> Auriga, for me it is much better than dual-booting :)
[23:34] <Rehan> Jordan_U: thanks!
[23:34] <Jordan_U> Rehan: You're welcome.
[23:35] <Auriga> Achylles_, Yeah but for gaming you are limited in a VM.
[23:35] <Auriga> royale1223, I just went back to my browser... Why did you remove the bottom bar of your GUI?
[23:35] <Achylles_> Auriga, ok. I am not into games anyway.
[23:35] <Rehan> Jordan_U: is the next version of Ubuntu coming out anytime soon?
[23:36] <Auriga> Achylles_, Then you don't have the same problem I do lol.
[23:36] <anallyraped> why should i use ubuntu over debian or cent os?
[23:36] <gorfex> !ff4
[23:36] <royale1223> Auriga: it happened when i reset my panel
[23:36] <Jordan_U> Rehan: April 28
[23:36] <lupusclan> help !!!!!! had win ... switch to linux from win administered through a serial port with software called data transfers and to have linux I recognize the com port and tty calls it now lack is a graphical interface for file transfers over port tty (com to win) as did data transfer
[23:37] <Rehan> Jordan_U: will upgrading to that require me to setup everything from scratch again in Grub2 (if I remove the memtest/recovery entries, theme it, etc)?
[23:37] <meganerdca> lupusclan: install konsole and lrzsz.  You can then get files with zmodem
[23:37] <meganerdca> lupusclan: you could also use kermit
[23:38] <royale1223> Rehan: have you tried grub customiser?
[23:38] <Rehan> royale1223: nope, does it work with grub2?
[23:38] <ebrahim> hi all
[23:38] <meganerdca> lupusclan: you will probably need minicom as well
[23:38] <royale1223> Rehan: yep
[23:38] <lupusclan> yes
[23:39] <Jordan_U> Rehan: As long as you only edit settings in /etc/default/grub rather than editing files in /etc/grub.d/ (adding new ones and editing 40_custom should not cause problems) there will be no reconfiguration required when you upgrade.
[23:39] <ebrahim> please help me :(
[23:40] <anallyraped> how do i remove ubuntu?
[23:40] <Aginor> !help | ebrahim
[23:40] <lasha> hey guys I got a problem with flash player i think, in firefox 4.0 cpu usage goes up to 80% and the video playback also flickers, do I need to reinstall flash or update or anything?
[23:40] <Rehan> Jordan_U: ok cool. one last question. If I want to elevate to root when editing a file via the GUI, is there any way to do it without opening up nautilus from the start elevated?
[23:40] <gordonjcp> Ubuntu needs to have an option to install it with all sounds turned off by default
[23:41] <gordonjcp> since it's now 23:40 and everyone in about a two mile radius now knows that someone just booted Ubuntu
[23:41] <Auriga> gordonjcp, Lol, I know that feeling.
[23:42] <Jordan_U> Rehan: You can use "gksudo gedit" from a terminal or from the alt+F2 dialog.
[23:42] <ebrahim> are you speake Persion ?
[23:42] <gordonjcp> it's so infuriating, since every update seems to put the bloody sounds back
[23:42] <ebrahim> are you speake Persion ?
[23:42] <ebrahim> are you speake Persion ?
[23:42] <FloodBot3> ebrahim: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:42] <Aginor> to remove ubuntu, simply delete the partitions it's on. To remove grub, replace it with a different bootloader, for example windows's
[23:42] <Aginor> !arabic
[23:42] <Aginor> !persian
[23:43] <Diamondcite> Aginor: I think the person just for killed.
[23:43] <gordonjcp> also, Persian != Arabic
[23:43] <Rehan> but all those squiggly lines look the same!
[23:43] <lupusclan> and tried minicom, kermit and Zmodem but none gives graphical interface, also use uucp and emulate the program transfers data to win .. using wine, but not reconose com or tty port ..
[23:43] <Aginor> gordonjcp, yeah, I realised I was stupid just after I implied it :/
[23:43] <lupusclan> and tried minicom, kermit and Zmodem but none gives graphical interface, also use uucp and emulate the program transfers data to win .. using wine, but not reconose com or tty port ..
[23:43] <alex86> gordonjcp: sudo apt-get didn`t help. as u said. it installed python 3.1 but by default is still python 2.6
[23:43] <raido_> gordonjcp: why not just unstall the sound system?
[23:44] <gordonjcp> raido_: because that wants to uninstall lots of stuff
[23:44] <Aginor> Diamondcite, fair enough
[23:44] <gordonjcp> raido_: and I do actually want it to make sounds, just absolutely no system sounds of any kind ever
[23:45] <raido_> gordonjcp: hmmm,
[23:45] <royale1223> i need help with resetting my panel.
[23:45] <alex86> raido: i have installed python 3 but by default is python 2.6 I wanna delete older version. but it is dependent on a lot of packages essential for the system work. is there any walkarounds?
[23:45] <lupusclan> meganerdca: ganerdca> lupusclan: you will probably need minicom as well
 Rehan: yep

[23:46] <Rehan> guys is there a way to change the location where the default home directories (documents, pictures, music,etc) point to in Ubuntu?
[23:46] <trism> alex86: if you remove python2.6 you will break many things installed by default in ubuntu
[23:46] <raido_> gordonjcp: alias "python" python3 ot change your environment variable for python
[23:46] <gordonjcp> raido_: that's more for alex86
[23:46] <trism> alex86: you will also likely break them if you set python3 to default
[23:46] <alex86> trism: ok, i got it. it is fate then
[23:46] <raido_> gordonjcp: doh!
[23:47] <ruggero> hi
[23:47] <Achylles_> royale
[23:47] <raido_> alex86: alias "python" python3 ot change your environment variable for python
[23:47] <Rehan> Auriga: any idea?
[23:47] <royale1223> Achylles_: me?
[23:47] <princej88> Hi, I am making a home file server with ubuntu 10.04 and after the reboot after installation, I am stuck at the grub command line. Any help would be appreciated
[23:48] <alex86> trism: i wonder why ubuntu 10.10 is still dependent on such an old version of python?
[23:48] <Achylles_> royale1223, type 'killall gnome-panel' in your terminal and that's it :)
[23:48] <trism> alex86: it will take a lot of work to port everything to python 3, it will happen eventually though
[23:48] <lupusclan> had win ... switch to linux from win administered through a serial port with software called data transfers and to have linux I recognize the com port and tty calls it now lack is a graphical interface for file transfers over port tty (com to win) as did data transfer and tried minicom, kermit and Zmodem but none gives graphical interface, also use uucp and emulate the program transfers data to win .. using wine, but not reconose com or tty port ..
[23:49] <royale1223> Achylles_: did that, but this is what i get. http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1591/screenshot2rw.png
[23:49] <alex86> trism: well at least for python 2.7 they could do it :)
[23:49] <trism> alex86: natty is default python 2.7
[23:49] <alex86> trism: thabnks for the asnwer
[23:50] <Rehan> guys is there a way to change the location where the default home directories (documents, pictures, music,etc) point to in Ubuntu?
[23:50] <alex86> trism: so perhaps this is the same reason why python 2.6 is default on macOS as well
[23:50] <ruggero> hi, I moved my home partition, for some reason now ownership is root (!) Cannot put it back to myusername:myusername. Used sudo chown -R name:name /pathtohome/. The command gives no errors, but no ownership change... why ?!?
[23:51] <mostafa> alooo
[23:51] <royale1223> ruggero: i think you have to add user i options in fstab
[23:51] <gordonjcp> Rehan: rename them?
[23:51] <Achylles_> royale1223, try to restart the X server then and see the result
[23:51] <gordonjcp> Rehan: What exactly are you trying to do?
[23:51] <princej88> Hi, I am making a home file server with ubuntu 10.04 and after the reboot after installation, I am stuck at the grub command line. Any ideas?
[23:52] <Jordan_U> princej88: Do you get any error message at boot?
[23:52] <Rehan> gordonjcp: have those directories point to my third partition where i have docs,pics,music directories
[23:52] <ruggero> royale1223 thanks
[23:52] <princej88> Jordan_U: no i don't, i typed 'boot' and and it says 'no loaded kernel'
[23:52] <gordonjcp> Rehan: make symlinks then
[23:52] <royale1223> Achylles_: whats the command for it?>
[23:52] <makaveli0129> i have about 19 million files to delete and the normal delete says it'll take about 6 hours anyone know a faster way to do this without formatting?
[23:53] <Rehan> gordonjcp: that makes me lose the image on the folder, you know how each folder has a nice little icon for what it contains, the music note, the video reel, photos, etc
[23:53] <Jordan_U> princej88: And this is immediately after a normal install?
[23:53] <princej88> Jordan_U 'error: no loaded kernal" i meant
[23:53] <alex86> raido_: how can i switch between default python version and new one? without removing old one??
[23:53] <princej88> Jordan_U: yes.
[23:53] <Jordan_U> princej88: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[23:53] <{qp}> makaveli0129: use rm
[23:53] <royale1223> ruggero: my fstab line is "/dev/sda4     /home    ext4    defaults      0      0" actually
[23:53] <gordonjcp> Rehan: I'm pretty sure you can set a .desktop file for that
[23:53] <Rehan> gordonjcp: plus wouldn't the symlink have to be inside the folder, so i'd have to go into Pictures, then click on the Symlink?
[23:53] <Achylles_> royale1223, if you are using Gnome, do cd /etc/init.d && ./gdm restart
[23:53] <gordonjcp> Rehan: the symlink would be to the target directory
[23:53] <princej88> Jordan_U: no i don't, but when i typed ls. it listed '(hd0) and (hd0,1)
[23:53] <makaveli0129> qp: how long do u think that will take?
[23:54] <Rehan> gordonjcp: set a .desktop file? Should I google setting a .desktop file?
[23:54] <princej88> Jordan_U: is that normal for having only one hd?
[23:54] <raido_> alex86: if you need to execute some certain program with the newer python the just do $python3 programname
[23:54] <Jordan_U> princej88: Yes.
[23:54] <royale1223> Achylles_: thanks
[23:54] <pvaldes> I found that my problem regarding OpenGL is because it's rendering using a wront DRI driver
[23:54] <pvaldes> wrong, even.

[23:54] <Jordan_U> princej88: What is the output of "source /boot/grub/grub.cfg"?
[23:54] <{qp}> don't know but i am sure it will be faster
[23:54] <makaveli0129> ok thank you it is a directory so should i use -rf?
[23:55] <{qp}> are all those files in the same folder? have they any patron you can give?
[23:55] <ruggero> royale1223, thanks a lot, I try to play with fstab using your example
[23:55] <princej88> Jordan_U: nothing comes up
[23:55] <makaveli0129> yea all in same folder and patron?
[23:55] <Jordan_U> princej88: If you press escape do you see a menu?
[23:55] <princej88> Jordan_U: just shows grub> _
[23:55] <{qp}> makaveli0129: sorry i write a word in my native language, sorry.
[23:55] <ruggero> royale1223, hope not to mess up more than this...! (with home at root:root ownership many things do not work !)
[23:55] <royale1223> ruggero: youre welcome
[23:55] <princej88> Jordan_U: no i dont, i just skips to the next line
[23:56] <makaveli0129> qp: no worries
[23:56] <{qp}> makaveli0129: and inside that folder there are more files you don't want to delete?
[23:56] <ADL> hi
[23:56] <makaveli0129> qp: there was but i switched to my windows box and windows then put it in a recycle bin on the drive so i'm just gunna delete that now
[23:56] <Jordan_U> princej88: Could you boot a liveCD and run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[23:57] <princej88> Jordan_U: let me try that. I will let you knwo what happens
[23:57] <royale1223> Achylles_: i get this error on restarting gdm. http://paste.ubuntu.com/587108/
[23:57] <{qp}> makaveli0129: so if you delete that folder you will only loose that files you dont want

[23:58] <Asad> how does ubuntu act when a key like fn+f4 (to switch to external monitor on laptops) is pressed... Can I map that to a different key?
[23:58] <Achylles_> royale1223, Have you done that as root?
[23:58] <makaveli0129> qp: but i don't want it to go to recycle bin on ubuntu cuz then i have to empty it and that will take forever as well
[23:58] <royale1223> ruconse: can you pastebin your fstab?
[23:58] <alex86> raido_: but if i want to work with new version from IDE?
[23:58] <{qp}> makaveli0129: then open a terminal and type: rm -r /the/folder/where/are/all/the/files and dont worry they will be enterely deleted
