[00:00] <jstoone> fisix: but WTF?!
[00:00] <asas> but that was just by luck. So what I run into is the ubuntu loading screen displays some weird messages and its written in like plain text instead of showing ubuntu and the logo as it usually does.
[00:02] <mali> Heya.. When using classic gnome (on natty) , how do I return the menu bar to windows instead of on panel!?
[00:02] <asas> it seems your busy ill find another way I guess its just I have a couple documents I need on there
[00:02] <Riiick> !br
[00:04] <mali> Heya.. When using classic gnome (on natty) , how do I return the menu bar to windows instead of on panel?
[00:05] <XuMuK> классная штуко ZNC)))
[00:05] <metaleks> hey guys I have a laptop question that isn't really related to ubuntu -- how well can the i3-390m play 1080p stuff through an hdmi on a larger screen?
[00:05] <jstoone> fisix: yea i really don't know what's going on with that.. i don't know if it has something to do with anything but i did never enter any name when i added my "account" on freenode.
[00:05] <XuMuK> perdonad.... me he equibocado de pestaña xD
[00:06] <jstoone> sorry guys
[00:07] <shcherbak> mali: Possibly disable appmenu indicator in panel, try #ubuntu+1
[00:08] <mali> ok thank you shcherbak
[00:08] <mali> HEya, how do i turn off the menubar in panel, so it is on my windows
[00:09] <mickster04> did i die?
[00:09] <Jasonn> yes
[00:09] <mickster04> ah there we go
[00:09] <shcherbak> maybe
[00:09] <mickster04> i thought it had gone very quiet in here

[00:10] <Jon--> There's some inconsistency in the way that gnome-terminal title is being handled. I have the setting set to "keep initial title". When I run 'gnome-terminal -t test' from the Terminal, the title does become test. It also does this for alt+f2 run menu. However, when I script this same command, it instead uses the value "Initial title" in the preferences for gnome-terminal. Why?
[00:10] <Jon--> I need this property for a script. ^
[00:10] <jstoone> fisix: It says that "there is no such "nich/channel" when i pm you?
[00:11] <Bluebill-Wolf_> does anyone know a program similar to wine that would allow ubuntu to run mac programs?
[00:11] <Logan_> !pm | jstoone
[00:12] <jstoone> logan: fisix and I are having a OT talk (:
[00:13] <shcherbak> Jon--: to open new terminal, better use new profile, silly for gnome-terminal, but works.
[00:14] <shawncm217> Banshee will not remember the settings for my portable media player. i've googled a bit, but can't find anything for this problem. Has anyone seen this, or have a google search i should try?
[00:14] <matthew_> jstoone, i just read what u wrote thanks for trying
[00:14] <Jon--> shcherbak, Sorry I don't understand what you mean.
[00:14] <jstoone> matthew_: no problem (:
[00:15] <shcherbak> Jon--: Make new profile (with permanent title) to use in the script.
[00:15] <matthew_> jstoone, i think iv just about given up
[00:15] <shcherbak> Jon--: and call for profile not title
[00:15] <Jon--> I was able to fix it
[00:16] <Jon--> I'll see if the problem comes back, thanks.
[00:16] <laptop_user> does anyone in here use skype?
[00:16] <Logan_> !anyone | laptop_user
[00:16] <laptop_user> im just asking for a recommendation for which client
[00:17] <shcherbak> laptop_user: Is there any choice for Skype?
[00:17] <aure_> hello
[00:17] <Aginor> laptop_user, there is no choice for skype, there is only skype that does skype
[00:17] <laptop_user> im not sure, i read something about possibly using pidgin, empathy, or something else
[00:18] <laptop_user> im using skype right now
[00:18] <Dmole> hello I'm looking for some basic setup help; I can't get a laptop connected to internet wifi, lan, or dialup.
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: skype is proprietary so the ONLY client is the skype client
[00:18] <Dmole> laptop_user: I like google voice/chat more then skype ~
[00:18] <Aginor> laptop_user, you might be confusing "real" voip telephony with skype
[00:18] <shcherbak> laptop_user: All mentioned are different protocols.
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: you can use pidgin to do text chat on skype only
[00:18] <laptop_user> ok, thanks for the responses everyone
[00:18] <laptop_user> wasnt sure
[00:18] <Aginor> laptop_user, for real voip, there's plenty of alternatives, but they are not compatible with skype
[00:19] <laptop_user> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1453407
[00:19] <laptop_user> that is a thread that gave me the idea that there might be an alternative
[00:20] <matthew_> i give up
[00:21] <metaleks> how well can the i3-390m play 1080p stuff through an hdmi on a larger screen?
[00:21] <Dmole> matthew_: with?
[00:21] <Aginor> laptop_user, that's for the text chat, yes, and it looks like it comes with instructions for how to make it working
[00:21] <laptop_user> but the video doesnt work, correct?
[00:22] <Aginor> metaleks, if you can play 1080p in full res on any screen, it will work well. screen size does not matter, just resolution
[00:22] <Aginor> laptop_user, no voice, no video
[00:22] <metaleks> Aginor: okay, then a 1920x1080 resolution
[00:22] <metaleks> Aginor: would it still be fine?
[00:22] <laptop_user> ok, thats what i thought
[00:23] <laptop_user> thanks again everyone
[00:23] <Aginor> metaleks, probably :D but I don't know
[00:23] <Dmole> metaleks: should work fine with that cpu (but depends on your player and encoding of choice)
[00:24] <metaleks> Dmole: all right, thanks
[00:24] <|Long|> can i use dual boot (ubuntu and xp) if i installed ubuntu first?
[00:24] <laptop_user> hey what browser does everyone use?
[00:25] <Dmole> |Long|: yes but you have to reinstall grub aver windows
[00:25] <laptop_user> |Long|: yes you can
[00:25] <Dmole> laptop_user:firefox
[00:25] <Aginor> |Long|, yes, but xp will clobber the boot loader, you will have boot from a live cd and reinstall grub
[00:25] <Aginor> !grub | |Long|
[00:25] <shcherbak> |Long|: You will need to recover grub, after installing xp.
[00:25] <matthew_> im back
[00:25] <charlietango> @laptop_user chrome
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: chromium daily build and arora
[00:26] <|Long|> wow, i didnt know so much work so xp must ne loaded first then?
[00:26] <|Long|> thanks guys for the info
[00:26] <Aginor> |Long|, it's not terribly hard, but it is less hassle if you install windows first
[00:26] <matthew_> my problem was my display out has overscan issues and for some reason it wont show the intire desktop it cuts off the edges
[00:26] <shcherbak> laptop_user: elinks
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> |Long|: it just makes life easier
[00:26] <Dmole> |Long|: you probably want to partition with the ubuntu live cd first
[00:27] <Aginor> matthew_, you could try running "xvidtune"
[00:27] <laptop_user> actionparsnip, i thought chromium was an OS
[00:27] <matthew_> Aginor, where could i get it
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> !info chromium-browser
[00:27] <|Long|> Dmole, i did partition half the drive for ubuntu and other half for xp
[00:27] <Dmole> matthew_: are there not settings on the monitor for that?
[00:27] <laptop_user> !info elinks
[00:27] <Aginor> matthew_, if it's still around, it should be installed as a part of the x-server
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: it'smade by the same guys, the daily buildis the bleeding ede build compiled once a day and ppa updated
[00:28] <matthew_> Aginor, i just typed it in a terminall and it lanched
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: the bugs and such are used to make chrome
[00:28] <Dmole> |Long|: ok but you will need a 1G swap partition for ubuntu +20-30G for each OS
[00:28] <j5> is there any real good way to alt tab out of OpenGL apps?
[00:28] <jiffe98> is there a way to not have a laptop do anything when the lid is shut?
[00:28] <Aginor> matthew_, I'm assuming you're using VGA since you're having overscan issues
[00:28] <j5> "alt tab"
[00:28] <laptop_user> actionparsnip, what does ppa mean?
[00:28] <laptop_user> im a newb
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> jiffe98: look in power options
[00:28] <matthew_> Aginor, hdmi
[00:29] <jiffe98> I'm looking through power options and all I see is blank screen, hibernate shut down etc
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: it's a 3rd party repository
[00:29] <matthew_> Aginor, im assuming its overscan issues
[00:29] <laptop_user> oh ok
[00:29] <roadrawts> \network
[00:29] <Aginor> matthew_, it might still work for you, but I no longer have a clue about it, I didn't think hdmi could have overscan issues
[00:29] <laptop_user> as opposed to ubuntu's repo, correct?
[00:29] <charlietango> @jiffe98 "when laptop lid is closed"
[00:29] <shcherbak> j5: hm, second xserver? sound can be nightmare in such solution.
[00:29] <Dmole> |Long|: I tent to make the renaming space into a shared ntfs, resulting in 4 partitions
[00:29] <jiffe98> charlietango: yeah I
[00:30] <matthew_> Aginor, it just wont show the intire desktop
[00:30] <jiffe98> I'm not seeing an option to do nothing
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> jiffe98: not sure then. I've seen lots of people asking for this but it was a while back
[00:30] <skullboy> ok how do i change the kern in /boot in a chroot env and still be able to use the disk
[00:30] <charlietango> @jiffe98 there should be a 'blank screen' option in that dropdown for both AC power and Battery power
[00:30] <Aginor> matthew_, perhaps you have your resolution set to something higher than the monitor can support and you get cutting/scrolling when you get to the edges of the screen
[00:31] <|Long|> Dmole, thanks for the info
[00:31] <matthew_> Aginor, it doesent scroll
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: as opposed to the official repos
[00:31] <jiffe98> charlietango: there is but I have this hooked up to a secondary monitor and I don't want it to blank when I close the lid
[00:32] <charlietango> @jiff98 are the screens mirrored?
[00:32] <jiffe98> charlietango: they are
[00:32] <Aginor> matthew_, look into the resolution thing, but besides from that I have no idea
[00:32] <skullboy> ok how do i change the kern in /boot in a chroot env and still be able to use the disk
[00:32] <shcherbak> jiffe98: Second screen stays power on.
[00:32] <matthew_> Aginor, iv tryed
[00:33] <pasjr> Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[00:33] <pasjr> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /
[00:33] <pasjr> mount failed
[00:33] <Aginor> matthew_, same problem?
[00:33] <matthew_> Aginor, yeh
[00:33] <pasjr> What does this mean how do I fix?
[00:33] <matthew_> Aginor, i beeen working on this for idk how long'
[00:33] <Aginor> matthew_, have you looked at your X server logs
[00:33] <matthew_> Aginor, no
[00:33] <ripdaflip> any ideas how can I see the count of downloads of a file shared via RapidShare?
[00:34] <matthew_> Aginor, where would i see that
[00:34] <Aginor> matthew_, that's a good starting point, if you're lucky you'll find the logs there
[00:34] <matthew_> Aginor, logs for what?
[00:34] <shcherbak> ripdaflip: ls -oh ~/Downloads ?
[00:34] <matthew_> Aginor, where do i look
[00:35] <Aginor> matthew_, in /var/log
[00:35] <ripdaflip> nope, I hosted a file in RapidShare.com. I'm looking for a way to see how many times it was downloaded
[00:35] <Aginor> !x.org | matthew_
[00:35] <Aginor> matthew_, go look if that webpage is relevant for you as well
[00:35] <pasjr> Never mind I found a work around
[00:36] <jiffe98> alright another question then, if I were to use 2 separate screens, is there a way to shift one of them?  The picture doesn't seem to fit exactly on the secondary monitor
[00:36] <shcherbak> ripdaflip: You mean how many times your file was downloaded ? Use torrent.
[00:36] <jiffe98> I need to squeeze it in a little
[00:36] <ripdaflip> yes
[00:36] <ripdaflip> shcherbak: yes, I mean how many times my file was downloaded from that website
[00:37] <Dmole> matthew_: you could also try the new ubuntu "On Unity, Wayland will replace the X server (and Xorg)" it might work better if otherwise unstable
[00:37] <shcherbak> ripdaflip: Ok, and this file is on your system, or server?
[00:37] <matthew_> Dmole, how i get the new ubuntu?
[00:37] <skullboy> ok how do i change the kern in /boot in a chroot env and still be able to use the disk
[00:38] <fisix> does anybody know how to stop middle click from being paste?
[00:38] <jstoone> jiffe98: matthew is having the exact same problem (: ask him and see if he found some solutions that may work for you (:
[00:38] <bonhoffer> is there an easy way to arrange windows in ubuntu
[00:38] <bonhoffer> (go left -- use half the screen)
[00:38] <laptop_user> hey is anyone in here a hardcore linux person?
[00:39] <bonhoffer> i'm used to sizeUp on the mac
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: define 'hardcore linux person'
[00:39] <bonhoffer> where i can send a window to the right or left half with some keystrokes
[00:39] <charlietango> @bonhoffer there are a variety of things you can do with compiz
[00:39] <Dmole> matthew_: http://www.kickasstorrents.com/search/ubuntu-11.04/
[00:39] <bonhoffer> charlietango, is compiz simple enough, or is there something more lightweight
[00:39] <bonhoffer> even installed by default -- to tile and arrange windows
[00:40] <shcherbak> bonhoffer: tiling windows manager, gnome/xmonad is good (setting takes a bit of time).
[00:40] <Dmole> laptop_user: no
[00:40] <bonhoffer> charlietango, i'm looking for a quick kill
[00:40] <laptop_user> actionparsnip: hardcore- as in using, or attempting to use linux on anything and everything possible
[00:40] <ripdaflip> shcherbak: none of the two. This question isn't linux specific. I'm asking it here only because you guys are very helpful. I uploaded it in a website (RapidShare.com). Then it can be downloaded via direct link. I'm looking for a way to see the count of dw-s. I'm not hosting the website or the file ..
[00:40] <Guest8665> lol
[00:40] <laptop_user> i.e. my routers have linux
[00:40] <bonhoffer> don't want to change from the default window manager
[00:40] <shcherbak> bonhoffer: or Awesome (not sure how it integrate with gnome).
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: I use it on all my systems, but not on anything and everything
[00:41] <bonhoffer> what am does ubuntu use out of the box?
[00:41] <Dmole> bonhoffer: compiz will do all the tricks mac knows and way way more with the right plugins
[00:41] <charlietango> @bonhoffer install compizconfig settings manager
[00:41] <charlietango> uses gui, minimal customization necessary
[00:41] <laptop_user> actionparsnip, have your ever attempted to put on anything else?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: most do
[00:41] <bonhoffer> looks like compiz is what i want . . .just worried that it is going to be crazy powerful
[00:41] <laptop_user> actionparsnip, such as a ppc
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: just systems really
[00:41] <shcherbak> ripdaflip: No clue, rather not possible, unless RapidShare gives you such option.
[00:42] <charlietango> @bonhoffer it is a well done balance of usability and power
[00:42] <bonhoffer> thanks, i'll look into compiz
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: thats just another PC like any other, its not special
[00:42] <ripdaflip> shcherbak: Thanks for the attention :)
[00:42] <shcherbak> bonhoffer: Gnome, Kubuntu = KDE, Xubuntu = Xfce, etc...
[00:42] <Dmole> ripdaflip: use a fancy download link that logs people before sending them to rapidshare
[00:43] <charlietango> @bonhoffer in terms of actual window management, there are several plugin options. i would suggest looking at 'maximumize' first for what you are wanting.
[00:43] <laptop_user> but how would it work b/c of driver issues? or would one have to develop drivers
[00:43] <bonhoffer> charlietango, thanks -- i have to run, but i'll check out compiz and maximumize
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: the drivers are compiled for ppc too....
[00:43] <Dmole> bonhoffer: empathe IM client
[00:44] <Dmole> y
[00:44] <laptop_user> how would one go about putting it on there via nand
[00:44] <laptop_user> not using haret
[00:44] <shcherbak> bonhoffer: there is wmctrl and devilspie, which gives you total control how you will display windows.
[00:45] <matthew_> i am done its impossibe
[00:45] <Dmole> matthew_: pay more and work less :)
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: so you mean a PSP?
[00:46] <slavetoneffy> Hello
[00:46] <fgwilliams> I have a script to open a group of apps but I want it to open them in my 4th WORKSPACE, any ideas
[00:46] <slavetoneffy> Ok, I have a quick noobie question
[00:46] <shcherbak> fgwilliams: devilspie
[00:47] <laptop_user> no as in a htc device
[00:47] <shcherbak> slavetoneffy: Hm?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> laptop_user: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE_rDay9RJ8
[00:48] <slavetoneffy> shcherbak: Yes, I am running Ubuntu through a live CD and I wanted to try to configure my Internet connection
[00:48] <shcherbak> slavetoneffy: You mean wireless?
[00:48] <slavetoneffy> shcherbak: Yes
[00:49] <shcherbak> slavetoneffy: Does it detect any networks, and does iwconfig command gives any output?
[00:49] <slavetoneffy> shcherbak: Yes
[00:50] <slavetoneffy> shcherbak: It says I am currently connected to my home network, but I am not able to access the web
[00:51] <FoolishOwl> Does anyone know what package provides /etc/skel/.bashrc ? And is there a convenient way to check what package provides a particular file?
[00:51] <trism> FoolishOwl: dpkg -S /path/to/file; if it is installed, apt-file search path; if not (but you need apt-file installed and updated first)
[00:51] <MacByte> hi guys
[00:51] <MacByte> anyone ever install themes on Ubuntu?
[00:52] <FoolishOwl> trism, thanks.
[00:52] <slavetoneffy> Ok, It appears to be working now
[00:52] <laptop_user> actionparsnip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqHRrmUPJbI
[00:52] <MacByte> i am trying to install a theme called MacBuntu, but I am wondering once, I install it is it possible to remove it and bring back the original ubuntu?
[00:52] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, my laptop has a built-in wifi card that i can't find the drivers for it but a few months back, i ran a live cd (can't remember the name; maybe "sidux" or something but it says that it's based on debian testing or sid and released every 3 months or so) and it did pick up my wifi card and displayed the networks in my area.  is there anyway to get this working on ubuntu?
[00:53] <uacbek-pro> anyone knows a software for lawyers office?
[00:53] <laptop_user> paranoidphreak, system>administration>additional drivers
[00:53] <laptop_user> then search
[00:53] <charlietango> @MacByte you can change theme options in the apprearance preferences
[00:54] <Dmole> uacbek-pro:what do you want the software to do?
[00:54] <MacByte> oooh k
[00:54] <shcherbak> slavetoneffy: ping google.com (easies way to test network)
[00:54] <MacByte> thx charlietango
[00:54] <slavetoneffy> shcherbak: ok
[00:54] <Dmole> uacbek-pro:workflow/intranet stuff?
[00:55] <paranoidphreak> laptop_user: thanks....i'll do that
[00:56] <fisch246> so when natty releases... i assume it'll say it removed my third party sources... are those sources stored in the sources list? so i can have a list of which ones to add when i upgrade?
[00:56] <shcherbak> paranoidphreak: lspci or lshw to get your card name
[00:56] <uacbek-pro> i'm not a lawyer so i can't tell you but i can't find any program so if you tell me which one you think is th best i'ññ download it
[00:56] <Dmole> uacbek-pro:most use boxes of paper MS word and an searchable archive/intranet
[00:56] <fisch246> (not a natty question, but an upgrade question :P)
[00:56] <laptop_user> paranoidphreak, what kind of wifi card is it?
[00:56] <MacByte> how can one tell if they have the netbook edition of ubuntu or desktop?
[00:57] <laptop_user> paranoidphreak, is it like a broadcom or something? if so then yes thats the way to solve it.
[00:57] <uacbek-pro> i'll*
[00:57] <aeon-ltd> MacByte: are you using unity?
[00:57] <Dmole> MacByte: maybe "cat /etc/issue" ?
[00:57] <charlietango> @MacByte System->About Ubuntu
[00:57] <mickster04> MacByte: in terminal type 'uname -a' perhaps?
[00:58] <Bite> I want to install Xubuntu alongside ubuntu. I'm at the partition installer. should i designate it as primary or logical?
[00:58] <aeon-ltd> MacByte: plus it doesn't really matter besides the gui overlay
[00:58] <MacByte> I am using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
[00:58] <paranoidphreak> laptop_user: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[00:58] <MacByte> not sure what that means
[00:58] <laptop_user> paranoidphreak, yeah i use the broadcom STA drivers
[00:58] <Dmole> Bite: you can only have 4 ish primary the rest need to be logical
[00:59] <laptop_user> paranoidphreak, just do the additional drivers thing i told ya
[00:59] <Tank997> Is there a good site or video to see what Unity is all about?
[00:59] <Bite> Dmole: 4ish primary? I only have ubuntu partitioned on the drive.
[00:59] <EmuAlert> Are almost all preferences stored in hidden files in your home directly?
[00:59] <aeon-ltd> Tank997: youtube demos maybe?
[00:59] <laptop_user> paranoidphreak, you will need to reboot to finalize the install
[00:59] <Tank997> Yes
[00:59] <Android> Hello
[01:00] <Dmole> Bite: also I would just install lxde or xfce along side genome because that is the main diffrence .... alsa instead of p...something aswell
[01:00] <Tank997> Link?
[01:00] <shcherbak> EmuAlert: All affecting user.
[01:00] <Dmole> Bite: then 1G swap, 20G ubuntu 20G xubuntu, the rest shared partition
[01:00] <aeon-ltd> Tank997: seriously? http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ubuntu+unity&aq=0
[01:02] <Tank997> Thanks, Just left TWiT and that I would check here first, I can do a search but then I have to weed through the BS
[01:02] <Bite> Dmole: Installing strictly the desktop might be easier..... then how can i switch between the desktops? This is for a tech-illiterate friend, so if there was some GUI package that'd be awesome.
[01:02] <paranoidphreak> laptop_user: thanks
[01:02] <paranoidphreak> and everyone
[01:03] <Dmole> Bite: there is a drop down on the login page
[01:05] <Bite> Dmole: Okay, awesome, thanks. But i have ~ 22 gb of free space on the HDD, unpartitioned. How can i resize the partitions? GParted?
[01:05] <Dmole> Bite: yes

[01:20] <jiffe98> I'm using the nvidia drivers/setup util

[01:21] <Bite> shcherbak: I c wut u did thar.
[01:21] <bonhoffer> is it hard to upgrade 10.04 to 10.10?
[01:21] <aussa> Dmole: any link, advice, tip?
[01:21] <Dmole> dustin_: most people just reinstall have a firewall and call it a day
[01:21] <Dmole> aussa:for...
[01:22] <Bite> Well, ActionParsnip and scherbak, it's just that i want to quickly boot into it to resize the primary partitions,
[01:22] <Dmole> aussa:um
[01:22] <charlietango> @jiffe98 im running intel, so that may be the issue. i don't have any experience with nvidia, but i know there is an application with more discrete options.
[01:22] <shcherbak> bonhoffer: No, need time, and good connection.
[01:22] <bonhoffer> o.k. 300kbs sufficient?

[01:23] <W43372> When I use my windows computer to view the public folder on my Ubuntu laptop it tells me that it isn't accessible and I might not have permissions. What do?
[01:23] <jay> Hello

[01:24] <Guest45018> for a class
[01:24] <Guest95464> hey
[01:24] <Dmole> aussa:you would need to mount the virtual drive in a way that is writable, maybe read up on shared VB drives
[01:24] <shcherbak> bonhoffer: It will take a bit longer. Updater will tell you.

[01:26] <roadrawts> W43372: r u still there?
[01:26] <Dmole> W43372: you need to setup a guest user for SMB shares and the new windows might need a security settging changed to connect to the old smb protocol
[01:26] <Dmole> he is here acording to "/whois W43372"
[01:27] <W43372> Dmole: is that a new change? The laptop I had Karmic on I didn't have an issue
[01:27] <EmuAlert> shcherbak: So if I wanted to copy all of my preferences, I would copy all of those hidden files over and then run install.sh...where?
[01:27] <roadrawts> dmole:I'm having difficulty with authentication also.  I think it's because smb.con has the smbpasswd file in /etc/samba, but it isn't there at all.
[01:27] <Dmole> W43372: it's a windows thing
[01:28] <Dmole> roadrawts: your log file should say something
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> roadrawts: try:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER   and set a samba password for authentication
[01:28] <W43372> Dmole: Yeah, but The winbox and the old laptop worked fine before. It's this new laptop that won't play nice.

[01:37] <Raikia> Thank you, Flannel...
[01:38] <Axlin> AndroUser: i use thunderbird when using gnome/xfce. you can use extensions like gnome integration or firetray to allow for popup notifications, new mail icons, and minimizing to the tray. docky unread count is another one to look at if you use docky. it will show an unread count badge on the dock icon
[01:38] <Flannel> No problem.  Took me a while to read scrollback.
[01:38] <kaushal> Hi
[01:38] <kaushal> I see this being mentioned in LPI certification book  "Linux is both a Commodity operating system and is PC based.

[01:39] <abstrakt> kaushal, nothing
[01:39] <dustin_> Logan,thanks i was  about to hack him ,,, lol jk
[01:39] <abstrakt> kaushal, bs marketing term
[01:39] <Scunizi> kaushal: that you can pay for software and/or service
[01:39] <abstrakt> probably, or something they made up
[01:39] <AndroUser> shcherbak: do you use gmail? axlin: thanks bro that's very useful to know
[01:39] <FoolishOwl> AndroUser, I've used Evolution, and more recently I've been using Thunderbird on Ubuntu. Since I mostly use Gmail, I'm trying out just using the Webmail interface on Firefox. Firefox 4.0's "webapp tab" feature is handy for that.
[01:39] <ayecee> kaushal: as compared to custom or bespoke
[01:39] <kaushal> abstrakt: bs ?
[01:39] <aussa> Dmole: ok, and what if what I want to do is install win7 with virtualbox but i don't have an installation cd becuase it came pre installed in my laptop
[01:40] <W43372> that was fun
[01:40] <AndroUser> foolishowl: thank you! I'm just hesitant because they don't support gmails labels
[01:40] <kaushal> Scunizi: not sure i still understand it
[01:40] <FoolishOwl> Thunderbird handles working with Gmail better than Evolution does, IMHO.
[01:40] <abstrakt> kaushal, yes, bravarian snowshoes
[01:40] <neo21> RAID? anyone?
[01:40] <ayecee> neo21: anyone what?
[01:40] <FoolishOwl> Thunderbird treats labels as folders, which works reasonably well.
[01:41] <neo21> does anyone have expierince with raid 1 setups on 10.04
[01:41] <neo21> ?
[01:41] <shcherbak> AndroUser: yes

[01:45] <W43372> Dmole: I'm back, what was I supposed t odo?
[01:45] <ayecee> neo21: so, as much as I hate to probe, what problem are you running into?
[01:45] <neo21> with 3 raid1 devices
[01:45] <neo21> 1 for /boot and 2x 1tb for a lvm
[01:45] <ayecee> that doesn't sound like a problem so far
[01:46] <neo21> partitioning has been made thru 10.04 server installation dialogue
[01:47] <ayecee> neo21: this background information would be more useful once you've described the actual problem.
[01:47] <neo21> it is not possible to install grub (or grub2) during installation
[01:47] <AndroUser> has anyone used plop alongside Windows to boot off usb?
[01:47] <determinology> how do i install flash for linux ubuntu 64 bit

[01:49] <dd214> With the advancements of VMWare Workstation, does anyone use WINE anymore?
[01:49] <shcherbak> dd214: Sure.
[01:50] <W43372> Scunizi: When I go to publics properties and try to modify permissions tab it won't let me change the file access options. I change them and it sets it back to "---"
[01:50] <dd214> why??  I use workstation with Unity Mode, WINE can't keep up w/ that
[01:50] <Scunizi> W43372: well... sometimes it's a windows issue.. sometimes you have to dink around with samba on the ubuntu machine.  You could try.. sudo service smbd restart and sudo service nmbd restart and see if that helps.. It takes a couple/3 minutes for the network to realize the folder is there.
[01:50] <aeon-ltd> dd214: on older pcs it can

[01:53] <laptop_user> paranoidphreak, did that driver work out for you?
[01:53] <Scunizi> W43372: out of my league at this point..
[01:53] <Pentium233> meu som nao funciona, que faco?
[01:53] <W43372> Scunizi: Ubuntu isn't letting me change the file access options in public properties. I change them and it instantly sets them back to blank
[01:53] <Habstinat> My laptop just froze. The caps lock key is blinking. Is there any way to recover my state?
[01:54] <Scunizi> W43372: create a new folder on the desktop and then share it as mentioned previously.  See if it can be seen on the other machines.

[02:00] <mike-ekim> lspci*
[02:00] <shcherbak> mike-ekim: You need sli (or crossfire) connection between cards to let xserver run both.
[02:01] <Sabatini> evening/night?
[02:02] <Sabatini> Stupid XChat switching windows... ignore that.
[02:02] <shcherbak> mike-ekim: You could search for very specific solution, but no foggest idea where to direct you, apart of #xserver?
[02:02] <tarvid> what can I when a reboot doesn't make it to the login screen
[02:02] <shcherbak> mike-ekim: bad idea (#xserver)
[02:02] <W43372> Scunizi: \\viper\public is not accessible. You Might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Network path was not found. :(
[02:02] <mike-ekim> oh
[02:03] <mike-ekim> darn
[02:03] <mike-ekim> yeah everytime Ive managed to get stuff like this working it has been very custom to the setup I have
[02:03] <Scunizi> W43372: like I said.. beyond my expertise.. sorry
[02:03]  * W43372 cries
[02:03] <fisix> does anybody find the ubuntu filesearch pretty crappy? it often misses files that i actually have...
[02:03] <shcherbak> mike-ekim: Try #xmonad, they may know, where to start looking.
[02:04] <mike-ekim> shcherbak: awesome, thanks!
[02:04] <raido> mike-ekim: see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2
[02:04] <Bite> If my server-turned-pc can't boot from USB, and doesn't wanna see it in BIOS, would the only option be to flash it?
[02:04] <mike-ekim> raido: awesome thanks!
[02:04] <shcherbak> fisix: Yes, and whats reason why we do use find (man find).
[02:04] <raido> mike-ekim: you do not need crossfire
[02:05] <fisix> shcherbak, lol gotcha. how do typically use find? i *find* (disregard the pun) that it takes too long to search root!
[02:06] <W43372> Scunizi: Don't I need to poke around in smb.conf and add the winbox name and ip address somewhere for it to work?
[02:06] <fisix> *how do you
[02:06] <bikcmp> hi all, this is more of an audacity question.  I'd like to play music (live, by pressing the play button), but have the output go and emulate a microphone.
[02:07] <W43372> bikcmp: you want to use your speakers as a PA?
[02:07] <bikcmp> no, i want it to emulate a device.
[02:07] <W43372> bikcmp: as in talk into mic and have the blah blah blah come out of the speakers or have the speakers be a mic?
[02:08] <bikcmp> W43372: speakers as a mic
[02:08] <eightball_> help lost the top pannel how do i restore it thanks ?
[02:08] <bikcmp> i might not have to actually, give me a minute.
[02:08] <skullboy> ok how do i change the kern in /boot in a chroot env and still be able to use the disk
[02:08] <W43372> You'll need an actual mic, unless the machine is a laptop and has a built in mic
[02:08] <poitee> did a sudo apt-get upgrade and now I have no boot... stuck at ubuntu 10.10 . . . . .
[02:09] <W43372> Scunizi: Don't I need to poke around in smb.conf and add the winbox name and ip address somewhere for it to work?
[02:09] <shcherbak> fisix: use locate (this one is instant, but you need to have database updated)
[02:10] <Godslastering> WHen you plug in a USB hard drive it auto-mounts, this is nice, but can i force apache to mount it as 755? (it seems to mount as 700 right now, with the owner being the user logged in when the drive is plugged in)
[02:10] <W43372> bikcmp but if you have an actual mic or a built in one I can tell you how to use the speakers onboard to amplify
[02:10] <fisix> shcherbak, what database?
[02:11] <W43372> Can someone tell me where I edit smb.conf to add the names and IPs of the other machines on the network I want to share with?
[02:11] <raido> Godslastering: you can do this with the fstab and by using the deviced bkid to identify it
[02:11] <raido> y
[02:11] <mickster04> W43372: you don't need to add their ips per say?
[02:11] <Godslastering> raido: alright, a tad bit more information please? i forget how to get the bkid
[02:12] <shcherbak> fisix: System database (info on files) updatedb
[02:12] <charlietango> @eightball_ hit alt-f2 type "gnome panel"
[02:12] <eightball_> help lost the top pannel how do i restore it thanks ? go part of it how do i add the places pannel ?
[02:12] <W43372> mickster04: I'm not sure. I just remember about a year ago I was having an issue similar to this one and there was something I edited in smb.conf where I added the name of my windows box and it's IP address or something
[02:13] <Superstar> Hello can someone help me install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a USB HDD using PLOP alongside windows as my bios doesn't support usb booting
[02:13] <fisix> shcherbak, sweet, i ran sudo updatedb. so how do i normally use locate or find? lets say to search the entire hdd for a file called foo
[02:13] <charlietango> @eightball_ right click panel space-> add to panel-> menu bar
[02:13] <mali> hi, btw, to create "system administrators" but only in some specific way, can one define which commands sudo *can't* do?
[02:14] <shcherbak> fisix: You will discover that find is really usefull when you know where files are and coustom filter (date, size, name, type, whatever)
[02:14] <charlietango> middle click and drag to reposition
[02:14] <mali> like eg sudo\-su
[02:14] <W43372> mickster04: I can mount the winbox public folder on this laptop, but I can't open up the public folder of this laptop on my winbox even though it is visible
[02:14] <shcherbak> fisix: try: locate gnome
[02:14] <dustin_> neo21rm you seting up a vpn?
[02:15] <shcherbak> fisix: and try: locate gnome*
[02:15] <fisix> shcherbak, lol wow, i got a load of files...
[02:15] <fisix> shcherbak, locate gnome* returned nothing. why?
[02:16] <fisix> shcherbak, i guess it just matches the exact string?
[02:16] <shcherbak> fisix: coz you do not have such string as "gnome*"
[02:16] <ssfdre38> how can i enable anonymous account on pure-ftpd
[02:16] <W43372> mickster04: I think what I'm looking for is under networking, right?
[02:16] <fisix> shcherbak, gotcha lol. and locate scans the entire harddrive amirite?
[02:18] <Edson> hi, do someone knows any program to convert text in audio?
[02:19] <shcherbak> fisix: Try: locate ~ | grep Documents
[02:19] <poitee> did a sudo apt-get upgrade and now I have no boot... stuck at ubuntu 10.10 . . . . .
[02:19] <AndroUser> hello
[02:20] <fisix> shcherbak, that returns nothing
[02:21] <fisix> shcherbak, locate foo does not work either
[02:21] <Superstar> strange
[02:22] <shcherbak> fisix: Hm? You do not have ~/Documents?
[02:22] <melkor> It looks like there is no gnome3 for 10.04?
[02:22] <fisix> shcherbak, no i have ~/Documents.. lolol
[02:22] <rww> melkor: correct
[02:23] <fisix> even locate Documents in ~ does not work
[02:23] <melkor> Oh well I guess when I break my system next time Ill break it right.
[02:24]  * W43372 facepalms
[02:24] <shcherbak> fisix: my idea was to tell you to go with:  find ~ -name "*Documents" and compare results.
[02:25] <tarvid> poitee, do you have a flashing cursor in the upper left?
[02:25] <poitee> tarvid its below the loading, please wait
[02:25] <fisix> find seems to pull up everything with the name Documents in it
[02:25] <tarvid> poitee, if so, i have the same case
[02:26] <poitee> tarvid: well let me know if you get it fixed... I  have the same issue... did a apt-get upgrade and dead..
[02:26] <fisix> shcherbak, locate Documents finds python stuff under /usr/
[02:27] <tarvid> poitee, safe mode does not work for me either and I have only one kernel choice
[02:27] <shcherbak> fisix: try: find ~ -type d -name "*Documents"
[02:27] <poitee> tarvid: I have no kernel choice.. I press escape at grub and nothing
[02:28] <heyguise> hey, whats a terminal command I can use to list the Webcams I have connected to my computer?
[02:28] <tarvid> poitee, this is on a spare laptop, recently backed up so I may wait for natty
[02:28] <poitee> tarvid: have you tried a rescue cd?
[02:28] <shcherbak> ls /dev/video* ?
[02:29] <tarvid> poitee, I am sure a live CD would get me in but I don't know what to do next
[02:29] <fisix> shcherbak, there are less results, the command without -d flag has "/home/fisix/.wine/drive_c/users/fisix/My Documents"
[02:29] <poitee> tarvid: same here Im googling and hoping for the best
[02:30] <shcherbak> fisix: Yes, that one of misteries ;)
[02:30] <j5> anyone know if theres a way to get docky to show the multiple desktops(like the default taks bar)??
[02:30] <fisix> LOL shcherbak so what was that all about... the -d flag. and why doesnt my locate cmd work?
[02:31] <heyguise> thats weird, my webcam just doesnt want to detect. meh
[02:31] <tarvid> poitee, if you have stuff to recover, I would do that now
[02:31] <heyguise> thanks btw.
[02:31] <milamber> heyguise: is it a usb web cam?
[02:32] <heyguise> naw, laptop built in
[02:33] <milamber> heyguise: what steps have you taken to troubleshoot?
[02:33] <heyguise> milamber, i just noticed the problem today. I've only started messing with it
[02:33] <shcherbak> fisix: d stands for directory in -type (opposed to -f), why locate ~ | grep Documents do not work? No idea, typo?

[02:50] <shcherbak> MK`: That may be model specific, test In keboard shotcuts if you have any response from Fn.
[02:51] <milamber> BlackRat90: did you install from source and forget where you untar/unzip'd to?
[02:51] <deckard8>  
[02:51] <BlackRat90> @mllamber yes... D:
[02:51] <milamber> BlackRat90: locate wine would be where i would start
[02:51] <shcherbak> BlackRat90: locate wine (also get source and reread readme)
[02:52] <doit> I have had a sytem crash. I was told I could load a live cd, mount the crashed system drive, move root to that drive and then dump mysql databases.  Can I do that, and how would I go about it if I can?
[02:52] <BlackRat90> kk
[02:52] <shcherbak> milamber: ;)
[02:53] <MK`> scherbak: it doesn't register with xev
[02:53] <tristman168> milamber you get my pm?
[02:54] <smriti> guys please help
[02:54] <smriti> the installation of microsoft office 2010 requires that msxml
[02:54] <Ben64> tristman168: did you see the message about PMs
[02:54] <smriti> wine asks for msxml but i cant really install it or even find it
[02:54] <shcherbak> MK`: I am afraid you would need google lappy time against linux/keyboard/fn/etc.
[02:55] <Ben64> tristman168: yet you continue to PM people...
[02:55] <tristman168> the forum leads me to this link http://www.ralinktech.com/ which is down
[02:56] <tristman168> any idea
[02:56] <ssfdre38> where are the ssl keys located on the server?
[02:56] <canthus13> This is the WEIRDEST problem.  I installed a new router... Now, as soon as I start rsync, it kills my ssh connection to a different machine.  I can ssh into another machine and then back over to the target machine, but I can't ssh directly to it.
[02:56] <smriti> guys anyone knows how to solve this problem ? the installation of microsoft office 2010 requires that msxml
[02:56] <smriti> through wine
[02:56] <milamber> tristman168: is it a usb dongle?
[02:56] <BlackRat90> @mllamber ok...I got alot of results from locate wine, anything i should be looking for?
[02:56] <shcherbak> smriti: /j #winehq

[02:57] <milamber> shcherbak: possibly
[02:58] <tristman168> umm milamber im not sure.. is there a way to tell?
[02:58] <tristman168> it plugs in via a usb port..
[02:58] <shcherbak> MK`: laptop model, sorry, too tied to think and type same time ;(
[02:58] <MK`> heh
[02:58] <milamber> tristman168: did you plug it into a usb port?
[02:59] <milamber> tristman168: nm i just looked it up, it is a usb dongle. is it currently plugged in?
[02:59] <tristman168> i plugged it into a usb port using some kind of extension that came with the wireless adapter but i dont have to use the extension thing
[02:59] <AndroUser2> grub is noob?
[02:59] <milamber> tristman168: at the terminal do: lsusb         and tell me if it listed
[03:00] <tristman168> yes its plugged in but im not using my ubuntu operating system im booted in xp
[03:00] <BlackRat90> @shcherbak I got alot of results from locate wine, do you know anything i should look for?
[03:00] <tristman168> one sec let me sign in thro my phone nd ill boot into linux
[03:00] <Ben64> tristman168: you should just buy a PCI wireless card
[03:00] <milamber> tristman168: plug the device directly into the computer please
[03:01] <tristman168> ben does that attach to the motherboard?
[03:01] <Ben64> tristman168: yep
[03:01] <Ben64> usually a lot more supported
[03:01] <shcherbak> BlackRat90: /bin /usr/bin (or sbin) are binarier, rest docs and configs (maybe some other stuff too), first you go back to source and read instructions.
[03:01] <tristman168> one second milamber
[03:02] <shcherbak> *binaries*
[03:02] <Ben64> tristman168: this one works perfectly in ubuntu. http://tinyurl.com/6j9bsu5
[03:02] <seawade> yo
[03:03] <tristman168> are pci better, worse, or the same vs a usb
[03:03] <Ben64> better
[03:03] <seawade> cool
[03:03] <AndroUser> hey
[03:03] <shcherbak> BlackRat90: If it hepls, you can: locate wine > wine_dirty and play with grep on this file.
[03:03] <milamber> tristman168: let's just see if we can get what you have working.
[03:03] <toad__> hi
[03:04] <AndroUser> milamber message me on here I'm tristman168
[03:04] <milamber> AndroUser: ok. are you booting into ubuntu?
[03:04] <etzerd> hello all
[03:04] <Ben64> milamber: well ralink's site is down, and if it was up he'd have to compile the driver manually and insert the module every time the kernel changes
[03:04] <BlackRat90> shcherbak: yeah i dumped it all into a txt, there is usr/bin/ but i am growing confused on how to uninstall
[03:04] <Ben64> milamber: i'd just go with PCI for the easiness
[03:04] <cha0s2358> crosoft Silverlight plugin from netflix on Ubuntu 11.04 to allow access to online movie rentals?
[03:05] <milamber> Ben64: it looks like it is supposed to be supported out of the box now. i just want to see if it recognizes the device even. and sometimes those extensions give me a headache
[03:05] <AndroUser> I can't get a pci for a lil while
[03:05] <Ben64> milamber: where does it say it has built in support? :o
[03:06] <AndroUser> I'm booting into Ubuntu now what was the command u wanted me to run?
[03:06] <shcherbak> BlackRat90: in very basics, you need to remove all files, and (wine does not do it) remove entries from system configuration files, thorought instruction on uninstall is in source or online.
[03:06] <cha0s2358> wow. Sorry guys dont know what happened there.      Is there a way to install the microsoft Silverlight plugin "or something similar" to allow me to watch netflix ? I'm running 11.04 beta 1
[03:07] <Ben64> AndroUser: he wanted you to run "lsusb"
[03:07] <shcherbak> cha0s2358: moonlight
[03:07] <cha0s2358> shcherbak, Software center?
[03:07] <shcherbak> cha0s2358: I think so.
[03:07] <Ben64> cha0s2358: i don't think netflix is working on linux. netflix requires silverlight with DRM, and afaik none supports all that
[03:07] <BlackRat90> BlackRat90: i am having diffcultly finding a guide on the uninstalltion
[03:08] <Axlin> moonlight doesn't work on netflix
[03:08] <Ben64> BlackRat90: have you tried "sudo apt-get remove wine"
[03:08] <cha0s2358> so no way to watch netflix on my machine?
[03:08] <milamber> bug 546653
[03:08] <Ben64> cha0s2358: you can use windows in a VM
[03:08] <BlackRat90> Ben64: ah yes, nothing. I orginally installed Wine from downloading the source files and installing them that way
[03:08] <rww> cha0s2358: not without Windows being involved, no
[03:09] <Ben64> BlackRat90: why would you do that....
[03:09] <shcherbak> BlackRat90: one more is coming: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1258060
[03:09] <cha0s2358> Ben64 nah, Ive got dual boot but keep my system hooked into a 50 inch tv and hate using windows and furthermore hate going across the room and standing there waiting to select win in grub menu but i guess i will have no choice
[03:09] <Aginor> BlackRat90, you could always re-download the same version, ./configure it the same way and try to do a make uninstall
[03:09] <Ben64> milamber: well thats interesting
[03:09] <BlackRat90> Ben64: I was stupid, before i fully knew what i was doing
[03:10] <milamber> BlackRat90: can you pastebin what you got w/ the locate wine?
[03:10] <shcherbak> BlackRat90: bottom of page: http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source
[03:10] <milamber> BlackRat90: when you untar/unzip it usually includes the full version (i.e. a directory called wine-2.3.1)
[03:10] <BlackRat90> /usr/bin/wine
[03:11] <milamber> BlackRat90: /usr/bin/wine is the binary (executable), there should be more than that.
[03:11] <BlackRat90> oh right
[03:11] <BlackRat90> /usr/bin/wine
[03:11] <BlackRat90> /usr/bin/wine-auto

[03:12] <BlackRat90> kk thanks, and im sorry!
[03:12] <milamber> BlackRat90: it's ok to be new :)
[03:13] <Ben64> BlackRat90: you need to go to the location where you did "make install" to install wine
[03:13] <Ben64> and then do "make uninstall"
[03:13] <BlackRat90> Ben64 yes i get that
[03:14] <BlackRat90> Ben64 but the problem is i did this make install about 2 years ago and i dont remember what i did ;)
[03:14] <milamber> BlackRat90: what version of ubuntu? and are you working on the pastebin?
[03:14] <AndroUser> sorry got disconnected
[03:14] <AndroUser> so what now
[03:14] <Ben64> BlackRat90: find which version of wine you have, download the source for that again, and do make uninstall :)
[03:14] <BlackRat90> milamber: my bin is /usr/bin/wine /usr/bin/wine-auto /usr/bin/wine-preloader /usr/bin/wineboot /usr/bin/winebuild /usr/bin/winecfg /usr/bin/wineconsole /usr/bin/winecpp /usr/bin/winedbg /usr/bin/winedump /usr/bin/winefile /usr/bin/wineg++ /usr/bin/winegcc /usr/bin/winemaker /usr/bin/winemine /usr/bin/winepath /usr/bin/wineserver
[03:14] <BlackRat90> and im using 10-04
[03:15] <milamber> BlackRat90: i need to see that pastebin of the whole locate wine command. the source directory is not going to be in any variation of /usr/bin/*
[03:15] <BlackRat90> mllamber though i did this in the day of 9-04
[03:16] <phillyj> how can i change how long until the screensaver turns on?
[03:16] <milamber> AndroUser: bug 546653
[03:16] <tristman168> ok so it lists d link on usb command lind
[03:16] <phillyj> i have gconf-editor open but not sure what to change
[03:16] <milamber> tristman168: ok, read the bug report and you should be able to figure it out w/o having to download anything from the ralink site
[03:16] <BlackRat90> http://paste.ubuntu.com/592415/
[03:17] <BlackRat90> mllamber: http://paste.ubuntu.com/592415/
[03:17] <tristman168> any idea where the report would be or do i need to run it again to get the error so i can find where they saved it to
[03:17] <Raikia> phillyj: System -> Preferences -> Screensaver for gnome
[03:18] <milamber> BlackRat90: it looks like you used apt-get, try sudo apt-get remove wine
[03:18] <Raikia> no need to use gconf-editor
[03:18] <raido> phillyj: System > Preferences > Screensaver
[03:18] <milamber> BlackRat90: and if you are on 10.04 there is no way this took place 2 years ago?
[03:18] <BlackRat90> i upgraded from 9-04

[03:19] <phillyj> raido:  i can't reinstall yet, no time for that
[03:19] <milamber> phillyj: what version of ubuntu?
[03:19] <Raikia> phillyj: Then in gconf-editor: / -> apps -> gnome-screensaver
[03:19] <BlackRat90> mllamber: this is what i get after a apt-get remove http://paste.ubuntu.com/592416/
[03:20] <milamber> BlackRat90: do: dpkg -l | grep wine
[03:20] <phillyj> Raikia: yes, but which parameter do i change?
[03:20] <raido> phillyj: or on cmd line gnome-screensaver-preferences
[03:20] <BlackRat90> milamber: do you waant me to paste that to?

[03:21] <tristman168> milamber there is no bug report that i can see..
[03:21] <phillyj> Raikia: i saw that so should i adjust "/desktop/gnome/session/idle_delay"?
[03:21] <BlackRat90> milamber: http://paste.ubuntu.com/592418/ grr I keep forgeting the tag
[03:22] <tristman168> or did u mean the bug report link that you sent me?
[03:22] <Raikia> phillyj: Yes
[03:22] <milamber> tristman168: the one that i sent you is the one you should read
[03:22] <ZykoticK9> milamber, note that BlackRat90 appears to be using a PPA for wine
[03:23] <milamber> ZykoticK9: got it :)
[03:23] <BlackRat90> ZykoticK9: this is correct, i oringally tried to update to 1-3 from 1-1 using that ppa
[03:23] <milamber> BlackRat90: it looks like you have 2 versions installed, which one needs to be gone?
[03:23] <BlackRat90> milamber: I want 1.3
[03:24] <BlackRat90> milamber: how ever if i do wine --version i get 1.1.44
[03:24] <milamber> BlackRat90: so do: sudo apt-get remove wine1.2
[03:24] <BlackRat90> milamber: it says wine1.2 is not installed
[03:24] <phillyj> alright, thanks all; i just lost an ebay bid cause the screensaver came on
[03:25] <awkisopen> Upgraded from 10.04.2 to 10.10, right-click doesn't work. What do?
[03:25] <lahwran> is there any way to get chrome addons to show their icon in the gnome panel?
[03:25] <milamber> BlackRat90: sudo dpkg --remove wine1.2
[03:26] <BlackRat90> it says to use --purge to remove the config files in the system?
[03:26] <lahwran> or maybe a scriptable system like chrome addons? I'd like a todo tool where I click on a button in the gnome panel and it shows me a list of things i have to do, with the whole interface right there
[03:26] <milamber> BlackRat90: it depends on if you want that or not. you have something goofy going on w/ how you installed packages. i don't know what the ppa wrote over. i would leave them for now, but that's your call.
[03:26] <KINGOFSWORDS> hi is worth gettin swiftfox?
[03:27] <rww> no
[03:27] <ZykoticK9> BlackRat90, --purge will NOT touch things in your home directory (and ~/.wine) is where your settings/programs are stored, so if there is a conflict between old and new SETTINGS for wine - you still might have to move that directory
[03:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> is it crap browser then..im using ff and chrome
[03:27] <BlackRat90> milamber: eh, i did the purge that this rate i might just end up reinstalling ubuntu as it stands i have alot of clutter on my system
[03:28] <milamber> BlackRat90: did the command execute successfully?
[03:28] <BlackRat90> mllamber: yes and now only 1.3 shows up if i repeat the process of grep wine
[03:29] <BlackRat90> mllamber however wine-1.1.44 still shows up if i type in wine --version
[03:29] <awkisopen> Hi, I just completed an upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04.2 to Ubuntu 10.10. My Synaptics touchpad, which formerly was able to right-click, no longer does. How do I fix this regression?
[03:30] <milamber> BlackRat90: that could be someone forgetting to update info when they packaged. as is *relatively* common w/ ppas as they are not *official*
[03:30] <BlackRat90> mllamber ok, so if i was to reinstall wine would i be using 1.3??
[03:30] <milamber> !info wine lucid
[03:33] <milamber> BlackRat90: i just checked maverick and it is also 1.2
[03:34] <milamber> BlackRat90: and for the sake of thoroughness natty also 1.2
[03:34] <BlackRat90> milamber: alright then, thanks for all your help.
[03:34] <milamber> BlackRat90: np
[03:34] <BlackRat90> mllamber i thought natty was using 1.3 wine?

[03:40] <EmuAlert> How can I (re)install my system's English dictionary?
[03:41] <Nuge> Hey guys. I just installed Ubuntu.
[03:42] <Nuge> Version 10.10 because the beta is not available with Wubi yet.
[03:42] <Raikia> Nice, Nuge.  Do you have a question about it?
[03:42] <kod_> hey guys how are you doing tonight
[03:42] <hiexpo> evening all hey i accidently deleted my volume control on the taskbar how can i get it back again
[03:43] <Nuge> Raikia, I am trying to update my software but upon authentication, the box hangs after I input my password.
[03:43] <kod_> i am having trouble connecting to my 128 bit wep wifi ap with network manager, any ideas? i can connect to open/wep64bit
[03:43] <hylian> how do you set mutter for unity so that it has minimal visual effects like you could do in gnome 2 under appearances? (it says it's blocked because of mutter)
[03:43] <Nuge> If I press "esc", I am good to go but I want to know what's causing that problem and how to fix it.
[03:43] <Raikia> hiexpo: http://www.virtualhelp.me/linux/107-volume-controlicon-is-gone-ubuntu-1004
[03:44] <hiexpo> RaiBot, thanks
[03:44] <deadaim> I'm following the following link to install Sun Java.  It says to look to enable the Multiverse repository and install sun-java6-bin in Synaptic Package Manager.  However, I don't find that package in the manager. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JavaInstallation
[03:44] <deadaim> any ideas?
[03:44] <hiexpo> oops
[03:44] <Raikia> Nuge: That is strange.  Do you have "animations" on with a bad computer?
[03:44] <kod_> Nuge: open terminal and type 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[03:44] <hiexpo> Raikia, thanks
[03:44] <RedLance> Evening all.  Anybody know why 10.10 would cause the system to power down under heavy CPU load when 9.10 never does?  AMD Athlon X2 64 5000+, 3GB Ram, 10.10 on a 680GB HD and 9.10 on a 250GB HD
[03:45] <Raikia> kod_: That doesn't fix his problem.  Thats just transferring to CLI instead of GUI.  There is something wrong with his set up if the GUI isnt working
[03:45] <kod_> RedLance: probably a cpu temp setting somewhere
[03:45] <kod_> Raikia: at least then he will have a verbose output of the problem
[03:45] <RedLance> kod_ Within Ubuntu?  I didn't even know it had that "feature"
[03:46] <Nuge> Raikia, should I screenshot it for you? It asks for password, I give it password, then another box pops up with cancel and authenticate but without the password input textbox.
[03:46] <hiexpo> Raikia, lol that was way to easy lol thanks i feel like a noob now lol
[03:46] <KINGOFSWORDS> just installed google earth via synaptics but cant find it
[03:46] <Raikia> Nuge: sure.  SN it
[03:46] <kod_> i really don't know RedLance but i have experianced this on many types of hardware, it is usually a hardware setting
[03:46] <Raikia> SS*
[03:46] <Raikia> hiexpo: Glad I could help :-)
[03:46] <hiexpo> KINGOFSWORDS, itis in internet
[03:47] <kod_> but anyways, anybody have luck with 128 bit wep with network manager?
[03:47] <KINGOFSWORDS> thought it was a program
[03:47] <kod_> it's a hex key
[03:47] <RedLance> kod_ Ok, well, the hardware settings such as BIOS stay the same, when I switch back and forth between 10.10 and 9.10
[03:47] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2010/05/02/how-to-install-google-earth-in-ubuntu-10-04/
[03:47] <kod_> 10.10 may not have some sort of throttling or something
[03:47] <KINGOFSWORDS> thx raikia
[03:47] <hiexpo> KINGOFSWORDS, it is but follows under a internet app
[03:47] <slaeya> afternoon all.
[03:48] <insanity99> http://pastie.org/1781180 hey guys, i am trying to make this game but im getting errors
[03:48] <RedLance> kod_ Hmm, ok...and I use 128bit WEP under netbook remix...but I think that's 9.10
[03:48] <vhd> anyone direct me to where I can learn more about creating compiz window affects?
[03:48] <KINGOFSWORDS> synatic package said it was installed
[03:48] <kod_> i am on 10.10, i have googled and seen this issue as far back as 8.04
[03:48] <RedLance> kod_ I was using network manager because the built in system would never remember the password.
[03:49] <slaeya> Stupid question today .... VM (Virtual Box) I see the ram assigned to the Virtual Box OS as in use in linux.  However, its only using a portion in the Guest OS.  Is my ram really maxed out?? Or just marked as inuse / unavailable
[03:49] <Nuge> Raikia, I'll get back to you. It's updating right now.
[03:49] <hiexpo> KINGOFSWORDS, click applications internet than scroll down to google earth
[03:49] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: Did you use synaptic for "googlearth-package"?
[03:49] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh
[03:49] <KINGOFSWORDS> dl ed andinstalled it
[03:49] <Gorbert> Good Night
[03:49] <kod_> slaeya: i think it reserves it
[03:50] <KINGOFSWORDS> more worried about synaptics not working
[03:50] <Gorbert> Could someone help me please?
[03:50] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: You need to type "make-googleearth-package --force" after you install "googleearth-package" in synaptic
[03:50] <kod_> sup Gorbert
[03:50] <Gorbert> I have an English keyboard and I speak spanish
[03:50] <Gorbert> I need to write a letter in spanish
[03:50] <slaeya> kod_: I suspected as much but thought I would check anyway.  Windows probably does not need 12GB but It was horrid to see it (or at least think) that in my case all 12GB was maxed on one VM
[03:51] <Gorbert> Ñ this one
[03:51] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok rai i try
[03:51] <kod_> rofl did you assign 12gb to a vm?
[03:51] <Gorbert> kod_ any shortcut for that or something?
[03:51] <slaeya> kod_: yes
[03:51] <Nuge> Raikia,  do you happen to know why is it that when I install my ATI drivers, the startup logo doesn't show up anymore? Instead it just says "Ubuntu 10.10" in like 8-bit font.
[03:52] <kod_> Gorbert: system -> perferences -> keyboard perhaps?
[03:52] <slaeya> I wanted to stress test the VM (Windows 7) however obviously there is no physical graphics card so I couldn't do a full benchmark.
[03:52] <Raikia> Nuge:  Mine does that too.  It runs like that randomly for me...I'm not sure why.  I have nVidea though
[03:52] <KINGOFSWORDS> its just dling more raikia
[03:52] <insanity99> ?
[03:52] <myrmidette> !last
[03:52] <kod_> yes actually that then layouts Gorbert
[03:52] <Gorbert> I dont need to change the distribution of the keyboard
[03:52] <Raikia> Nuge: It doesn't appear to be a problem....so I don't mind
[03:53] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: Yeah, it is downloading and making a .deb file
[03:53] <kod_> ooooh
[03:53] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: when it is done, double click the .deb file and it will install
[03:53] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok thx
[03:53] <Raikia> (Well, it will open in "Software Manager" and then click "Install")
[03:53] <ZykoticK9> Nuge, Raikia nvidia/ati proprietary driver a missing some feature required for proper Plymouth usage, it is possible to get working (but please don't ask me how)
[03:53] <kod_> um, idk the the ascii number code
[03:54] <slaeya> if I could find decent software to run m$access and look at other machines on a win based network then I wouldn't need VM :(
[03:54] <dublisk> Has anyone had experience putting ubuntu on a mac g5 ? wondering whether there are any issues
[03:54] <Raikia> ZykoticK9, Nuge: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html
[03:54] <ZykoticK9> Raikia, ya that will work
[03:54] <slaeya> dublisk: I never had any issues on mine, however I've since dumped that mac.
[03:54] <Nuge> I like the logo. It makes me happy.
[03:55] <Gorbert> kod_ could we speak in private?
[03:55] <bobo__> hi, I have a bash script, and there is written >if [ "${!SELECTED} = "y" ]; then< what does the exclamation mark mean?
[03:55] <kod_> so anybody know what is causing my issue with 128 bit wep?
[03:56] <slaeya> dublisk: have you run into issues.
[03:56] <dublisk> slaeya : no I am just trying to decide on a distro
[03:56] <slaeya> ubuntu 10.10
[03:56] <ZykoticK9> bobo__, i think the ! means NOT, but if no one else here answers ask in #bash to be sure
[03:56] <slaeya> dublisk: ubuntu 10.10 would be my preference anyway
[03:57] <Gorbert> kod_ are you gonna help me? I reallyneed it please!
[03:57] <insanity99> what do people think of unity?
[03:57] <dublisk> I use that on my pc yeah I like it, but didn't know if perhaps there is a better alternative for mac
[03:57] <kod_> you just need that one char shortcut?
[03:57] <slaeya> kod_: what issues are you having with your WEP
[03:57] <kod_> copy/paste it into a text file
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> kod_, this is just an FYI - but this is the !wep factoid from debian channel: [wep] Wired Equivalent Privacy, the utterly useless level of wireless encryption (about as secure as rot13) available prior to WPA.  Ask me about <wpa>.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy
[03:57] <kod_> cannot connect to 128 bit wep network
[03:58] <kod_> i know wep is useless it's for work
[03:58] <slaeya> dublisk: each flavour has its own benefits ... it really comes down to what you are looking to achieve and how easy it is to get support.
[03:58] <kod_> and i don't have privledge to change it and i do not want to install windows
[03:58] <doobien> I am having the same problem with my netbook on 11.4 and wep
[03:59] <kod_> i tried iwconfig and that did not work either
[04:00] <rowerguy> Hi. Does anyone know if I can run 10.10 on new Lenovo T520? i7 series processor. Thank you!

[04:01] <hiexpo> Raikia, do you know how i can put it back whaere it was between thclock and network manager?
[04:01] <rowerguy> I have 2620M. Is that all set too?

[04:02] <rowerguy> thats correct
[04:02] <slaeya> rowerguy: sorry I'm not familiar with that model cpu ... I'll go and check
[04:02] <rowerguy> hiexpo, I was going to try running in a VM
[04:02] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: double click the .deb file and then click "Install" in the box that pops up
[04:03] <hiexpo> rowerguy, vm is no good  best to just boot thelive cd or usb you have will not change anything
[04:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> cant find .deb file
[04:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> thats my point doesnt show inhome folder
[04:04] <rowerguy> hiexpo, thanks very much i'll build to a usb and give it a try
[04:04] <Raikia> it should appear in whatever folder you ran that command in
[04:04] <hiexpo> rowerguy, kool and goodluck to you
[04:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> i copy paste cmd
[04:05] <KINGOFSWORDS> no idea what folder this is
[04:05] <KINGOFSWORDS> only been using linux 3 days and ppl dont explain anything
[04:05] <Raikia> hiexpo: See the little divider bar in there?  Right click it and click "Lock to panel" (so it unlocks it)
[04:05] <Raikia> then you can move things into it
[04:05] <hiexpo> KINGOFSWORDS, it isprobally in your downloads folder   > open a terminal and type ls Downloads
[04:06] <KINGOFSWORDS> not donwloads folder
[04:06] <hiexpo> Raikia, ok not seeing it butwill mess with it thanks
[04:06] <KINGOFSWORDS> how do i search for deb files
[04:06] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS:  When the terminal says "<username>@<hostname>:~$", you are in "~/" which is equivalent to "/home/<username>"
[04:07] <Raikia> hiexpo: It is very small and should be next to the wifi
[04:07] <Raikia> wifi symbol* (or other notifications up there)
[04:07] <KINGOFSWORDS> it doesn say anything in terminal
[04:07] <slaeya> KINGOFSWORDS: cd /

[04:16] <ubusammyn150swap> ZykoticK9: yes
[04:16]  * ZykoticK9 avoids WUBI as well
[04:16] <ubusammyn150swap> =/
[04:16] <ubusammyn150swap> great ignorance solves a problem once again
[04:16] <^NiNjA> blah234,  why did you reinstall? I mean was there a slowness before?
[04:17] <^Phantom^> how well would ubuntu run on .5GB of ram?
[04:17] <ubusammyn150swap> so there should be a separate wubi channel?
[04:17] <rww> No, people should just stop using Wubi.
[04:17] <ubusammyn150swap> ^Phantom^: well
[04:17] <slaeya> ^Phantom^: ubuntu desktop or server ?
[04:17] <KINGOFSWORDS> right how
[04:17] <blah234> ^NiNjA, no, i re-installed because i ran a stupid command and messed up a bunch of permissions in /, /bin/ and /boot, among others
[04:18] <^NiNjA> ubusammyn150swap,  since using wubi in effect makes ubuntu a windows app, you issue would most likely be actually windows related
[04:18] <^NiNjA> oh ok
[04:18] <ubusammyn150swap> ahah how is that? it boots from an image from the disk..only difrence is it hold the ntfs fromat
[04:19] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: Just follow these instructions step by step:
[04:19] <Raikia> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth
[04:19] <^NiNjA> well blah234  there are any number of reasons it could be slower now, including a botched install, and or out of date kernel, or drivers
[04:19] <blah234> ^NiNjA, not sure if this is relevant but the 're-install' was 10.04.1, whereas i was previously running 10.04.2
[04:19] <Raikia> Its not hard.  Just read everything
[04:19] <ubusammyn150swap> windows isn't visually loaded?
[04:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> its a bin file
[04:19] <^NiNjA> ah, might be related but personally I havent seen a speed difference between 10.04 and even 10.10
[04:20] <ubusammyn150swap> i did?
[04:20] <^NiNjA> might want to make sure you are all up to date
[04:20] <ubusammyn150swap> but its also amd64
[04:20] <blah234> in terms of updates etc.?
[04:20] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: "Open http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html and download the .deb package of Google Earth (ver. 6) for your CPU (32 or 64-bit). Make sure you select the English (US) language at the top of the page – otherwise, you will get the GoogleEarthLinux.bin package, which cannot be installed using this method. (In spite of selecting the English language, the Google Earth will most probably run in your current loc
[04:20] <Raikia> ale.)"
[04:20] <^NiNjA> yes
[04:20] <FloodBot3> Raikia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:20] <Raikia> Read the website I gave you
[04:20] <ubusammyn150swap> yup security updates
[04:20] <blah234> my update manager does have 259 updates it wants me to install...
[04:21] <^NiNjA> make sure you select the right kind of updating you want to do from the sources manager
[04:21] <^NiNjA> bingo
[04:21] <blah234> the right kind of updating?
[04:21] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok thx but how do i learn how 2 use linux
[04:21] <^NiNjA> well blah234  you can select what kind of upgrades you want
[04:22] <ubusammyn150swap> ask specific and polite quesitons
[04:22] <abstrakt> KINGOFSWORDS, read words
[04:22] <^NiNjA> for sinstance only long term support or regular releases
[04:22] <KINGOFSWORDS> been doing that for 3days now
[04:22] <edbian> blah234: You can change those settings in System -> Admin -> Software sources
[04:22] <KINGOFSWORDS> nothing uis explained
[04:22] <blah234> ah. thank you.
[04:22] <ubusammyn150swap> king oh theres more then 3 days of lerning xD
[04:22] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Learn+how+to+use+Linux+ubuntu
[04:22] <KINGOFSWORDS> ty
[04:22] <hengky-arifin> please help me "e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb5"
[04:23] <^NiNjA> if you want to stay using 10.04 and not 10.10 then make sure you select only LTS updates
[04:23] <KINGOFSWORDS> why cant i see it in documents folder?
[04:23] <euclid> I'm installing Ubuntu on my friend's laptop he's new I was wondering if there are any downsides to installing x64 bit on his machine he has 4GB of ram
[04:23] <ubusammyn150swap> so, wubi is only using 256 because a windows file or partiton has this allocated?
[04:23] <Raikia> euclid: Not much anymore.  Sometimes flash is slower, but thats the only problem I've had (rarely) in x64.
[04:23] <edbian> euclid: The one small downside is flash. Which apparently sucks or something.  I don't know the details but people complain about 64 bit flash on here all the time.
[04:23] <slaeya> euclid: no downside, it allows for future upgrades
[04:24] <ubusammyn150swap> euclid its good
[04:24] <slaeya> I haven't ever had the problem of flash running slow in x64.
[04:24] <edbian> euclid: 32 bit will be slightly less efficient and does not allow him to use more than 3.2 Gb of ram
[04:24] <Raikia> euclid: flash (if properly installed) works fine in x64.  It used to have significant issues (but most are fixed now)
[04:25] <euclid> I had a problem with x64 flash a while back and heard that development was discontinued still true?
[04:25] <slaeya> although PAE would compensate for 3.2GB limitation of ram in x32
[04:25] <edbian> true
[04:25] <slaeya> I mean 32bit
[04:25] <ubusammyn150swap> pae does?
[04:25] <slaeya> !pae
[04:25] <ubusammyn150swap> then xp home would be the same as 32bit limits
[04:25] <ZykoticK9> slaeya, not really - PAE is a "hack" it can't let any one process use more then 3.2GB
[04:25] <edbian> Raikia: BTW, we know what you mean but technically it's x86 (which is 32 bit) and amd64 which is 64bit.
[04:26] <Raikia> edbian: Yeah, sorry
[04:26] <edbian> ubusammyn150swap: Yeah I don't know if there ever was a 64 bit xp
[04:26] <rww> edbian: there was. It wasn't good.
[04:26] <edbian> haha
[04:26] <edbian> Was the 32 bit one 'good' ?
[04:26] <rww> and technically, Ubuntu is i686, not x86 ;P
[04:26] <ubusammyn150swap> so enableing pae on a 64bit would "hack" to 128?
[04:27] <edbian> I love technicalities :)
[04:27] <euclid> so flash is good x64?
[04:27] <edbian> ubusammyn150swap: There is no such thing
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> ubusammyn150swap, PAE is NOT required on 64bit
[04:27] <^NiNjA> most buntu installs will automatically select PAE kernels if it sees more than 3.2 gigs of ram
[04:27] <blah234> ^NiNjA, so installing the updates is my first step, and then see if that fixes the issues?
[04:27] <^NiNjA> blah234,  thats what I would do
[04:27] <edbian> blah234: Yes definitely.  What is is the issue?
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> Good comparison of 32/PAE/64 bit at phoronix.com http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae&num=1
[04:27] <^NiNjA> might fix an error while its updating
[04:27] <ubusammyn150swap> haha, some underclocking there may help but i'm sure its not feasable
[04:27] <blah234> edbian, i just re-installed my OS and it's running pretty slow.
[04:27] <rww> edbian: Windows XP 64-bit was based on Windows Server 2003, and thus had a bunch of compatibility issues compared to XP 32-bit.
[04:27] <blah234> installed 10.04.1
[04:27] <^NiNjA> perhaps a dependency isnt installed right
[04:28] <rww> well, based on the same thing as Win Server 2k3
[04:28] <gartral> euclid: no, x64 flash is Adobe's fault for being bad
[04:28] <slaeya> ZykoticK9: thanks for the heads up ... was contemplating a PAE instead of x64 on one of my other machines.
[04:28] <edbian> blah234: Is there a process taking up a lot of resources?  (look in gnome-system-monitor)
[04:28] <ouyes> is there a tool for LAN file transfer cross platform
[04:28] <edbian> rww: i see
[04:28] <slaeya> I've always used x64 systems until last week ... when some numb nuts (ME!! ;-)) Downloaded the wrong version and installed an x86 and ended up with 3.2gb ram instead of 16.
[04:29] <edbian> slaeya: 16Gb of ram!  My god!
[04:29] <Iankap99_> hey
[04:29] <^NiNjA> lol u rinnin a server/
[04:29] <slaeya> edbian: yeah my laptop follows me everywhere.
[04:29] <edbian> slaeya: I laptop!  You have expensive taste
[04:30] <edbian> Iankap99_: hello
[04:30] <^NiNjA> 16 gigs on lappie?
[04:30] <blah234> edbian, looks like firefox is taking up a lot.
[04:30] <edbian> blah234: kill it.  Does that speed things up?
[04:30] <edbian> (the updates are probably a good idea anyway)
[04:30] <slaeya> ^NiNjA: indeed
[04:30] <doginabag> if a install nvidia drivers in linux, an make a win7 virtual machine, does the drivers still work when I'm on win?
[04:30] <hengky-arifin> please help me "e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb5"
[04:31] <tarik> Hi i need help about xubuntu
[04:31] <edbian> doginabag: The virtual machine does not have a virtual nvidia video card.  The drivers are not used in the virtual machine.
[04:31] <edbian> !ask | tarik:
[04:31] <blah234> edbian, yes.  didn't think of that because firefox typically doesn't have that drastic an effect on my system.
[04:31] <tarik> is there any way to auto- install all drivers succesfully
[04:31] <edbian> blah234: problem solved then?
[04:31] <tarik> because i cannot connect wireless network (i can see ssid)
[04:31] <blah234> edbian: yeah, think so.  although i'll still go ahead and update tonight anyway.
[04:32] <rance> anybody tried to alter the ubuntu server installer to run over a serial connection to a headless box?
[04:32] <edbian> tarik: The Ubuntu pretty much has every driver in the kernel.  It detects what hardware you system has on every boot and loads the appropriate driver.  What hardware is giving you trouble?
[04:32] <edbian> blah234: have a good night :)
[04:32] <hengky-arifin> Please help me "e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb5" !
[04:32] <edbian> tarik: What is the chipset of your card?
[04:32] <rww> rance: The Ubuntu Server installer is debian-installer. I've used debian-installer over USB serial interface before :\
[04:32] <slaeya> ^NiNjA: Ubuntu 10.10 - i7 16GB Ram - Where did my ram go? - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1722522
[04:32] <tarik> i dont know :S i took this computer now from a friend
[04:32] <blah234> edbian: one last question- could the fact that i'm running 10.04.1 now instead of 10.04.2 (which is what i was running previously) have something to do with firefox having a bigger effect on my system?
[04:32] <doginabag> what is the best way of playing good 3D games without having one partition for linux and another for win?
[04:32] <slaeya> ^NiNjA: I'm still kicking myself over it
[04:32] <tarik> a toshiba portego m400e
[04:33] <rance> rww:  thanks
[04:33] <KINGOFSWORDS> jesus christ
[04:33] <^NiNjA> blah234,  alot of times a package may have gotten broken on install or a dependency failed to for any number of reasons. That being said often times an update will show a missing dependency or package as an update
[04:33] <edbian> blah234: No clue.  You're running firefox 3 (right?) which basically means that it is bloated and slow.  I think think that the version number of Ubuntu should have any effect on performance really.
[04:33] <^NiNjA> updating can sometimes cure a lot of issues on a new install
[04:33] <hiexpo> Raikia, now i lostmy network manager appelet  :(
[04:34] <tamir> someone help me aircrack-ng im newbie
[04:34] <edbian> doginabag: I think you can do 3D accerlation in virtual machines now.  I don't know the details of it.
[04:34] <Raikia> hiexpo: How do you keep losing these?!  Lol
[04:34] <^NiNjA> slaeya,  its cool we all make them man
[04:34] <blah234> ^NiNjA: k i'll update and see what happens.  thanks for the help.
[04:34] <doginabag> edbian: any link, app, info?
[04:34] <blah234> edbian: thanks to you as well.
[04:34] <edbian> blah234: no problem
[04:34] <ZykoticK9> doginabag, 3d in virtualbox is working, but very limited.  You can't expect to "game" in it.
[04:35] <edbian> doginabag: google is your friend: http://maketecheasier.com/enable-3d-acceleration-in-virtualbox/2009/05/21
[04:35] <hiexpo> Raikia, well i did accidently delete the volume one and i was moving stuff around and wham it wasgone   lol
[04:35] <edbian> doginabag: I think dual booting is by far the best option though
[04:35] <^NiNjA> i thought my grub was wiped last week simply because it tried to boot from my MP3 player
[04:35] <Raikia> hiexpo: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-network-manager-applet-missing-from-notification-area-in-ubuntu-10-04.html
[04:35] <doginabag> edbian: ok ty
[04:35] <KINGOFSWORDS> Raikia it says its installed in ubuntu software mgr
[04:35] <Raikia> Ok
[04:36] <tarik> edbian do you think i can do anything for this?
[04:36] <^NiNjA> lol and the funny thing was I knew it tried to do that before
[04:36] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: Click "applications" -> "Internet" -> "Google Earth"
[04:36] <KINGOFSWORDS> but i cant find it
[04:36] <Iankap99_> hey does anyone feel like helping a newbie out with ubuntu? (ill trade you a bug i noticed)
[04:36] <edbian> tarik: Yes. What is the chipset of the card? Do you know how to find out?
[04:36] <KINGOFSWORDS> its not there thats what i told u in begininng
[04:36] <tarik> no i dont know in the xubuntu :S
[04:36] <tarik> i am a newbie of linux
[04:36] <edbian> Iankap99_: What is your issue? (you can give the bug to launchpad)
[04:36] <Raikia> Is it in any other places in the Applications menu?
[04:37] <tarik> edbian: i am newbie
[04:37] <Iankap99_> can u give it? i hate reporting bugs
[04:37] <Ryalnos> yo, can I pester someone with a newbie awk question?
[04:37] <edbian> tarik: NO worries.  run sudo lspci in a terminal.  I'm looking for something like 'BCM43XX'  The output is big.  If you get lost in it use pastebin.  paste.ubuntu.com
[04:37] <^NiNjA> Iankap99_,  what you need help with?
[04:37] <KINGOFSWORDS> Raikia no
[04:37] <edbian> Iankap99_: I have little interest in the bug.  What is your issue?
[04:38] <^NiNjA> best to report your own bugs so it can be checked as hardware specific
[04:38] <Iankap99_> well i installed ubuntu yesterday, i need to use it for research (i just started nlp research), my professor told me to learn how to install a program, and that it was more difficult in linux than windows
[04:39] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: open terminal and type "googleearth"
[04:39] <Iankap99_> but i have installed a couple programs from the ubuntu software center and it seems easy as clicking one button
[04:39] <tarik> edbian: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
[04:39] <^NiNjA> ll
[04:39] <KINGOFSWORDS> cmd not found
[04:39] <jiohdi> Iankap99_, twas not always so
[04:39] <ZykoticK9> Iankap99_, so long as you use Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic - I'd say it's easier to install a program in Ubuntu then Windows
[04:39] <^NiNjA> lol it is that easy for some programs
[04:39] <edbian> tarik: That's correct!  Hang on a second.
[04:40] <Iankap99_> what is synaptic package manager
[04:40] <Iankap99_> ?
[04:40] <KINGOFSWORDS> iankap it dl and install programs for you..correct for ur system
[04:40] <edbian> tarik: I am seeing things related to that card (issues) from ubuntu 8.04 and such...
[04:40] <ZykoticK9> Iankap99_, just an alternative to Ubuntu Software Center - you'll find Synaptic in most linux distros these days, USC not so much.
[04:40] <tarik> edbianbuttt
[04:40] <tarik> i saw ssid
[04:41] <edbian> tarik: What does sudo iwlist scan   do?
[04:41] <jiohdi> Iankap99_, in the not so distant past, you would down load a thing called a tar ball... a compressed.gz.tz file and then extract its contents... and do things to it like configure and make and then it would tell you that it needed other programs to work first
[04:41] <slaeya> tarik: man iwlist
[04:42] <tarik> edbian: i saw ssid i write password. but i cannot connect. i changed pass tried again... its false again..
[04:42] <done365> Anyone know why none of the dvd programs can access the drive .....google shows nothing
[04:42] <Ryalnos> what is wrong with these two lines of awk code?
[04:42] <Ryalnos> "{$2 ~ /myusername/ { myNR = NR }"
[04:42] <Ryalnos> "($10 == "Q") && (NR < myNR)    { nqueue++ ; print $1}  #Number queued."
[04:42] <edbian> tarik: I think the driver and card are working fine.  Try turning the password off just to see if you can connect to the wifi.
[04:42] <tarik> i tried it
[04:42] <Ryalnos> does awk not restart at the beginning of the file
[04:42] <tarik> edbian i tried it
[04:43] <tarik> i cannot connect
[04:43] <done365> The dvd will play in VLC if started from the icon on the desktop
[04:43] <Ryalnos> after a 'search' line? it seems that the 2nd line just continues from the triggered line to the end
[04:43] <tarik> edbian how can i use iwlist
[04:43] <tarik> i run it
[04:43] <Iankap99_> does gimp/vlc come with ubuntu 10.10?
[04:43] <tarik> edbian i ran it but i shows usage
[04:43] <edbian> tarik: sudo iwlist scan
[04:44] <rww> Iankap99_: no
[04:44] <Iankap99_> i typed gimp into synaptic and nothing came up
[04:44] <Iankap99_> ahh
[04:44] <Iankap99_> my apologies
[04:45] <tarik> edbian now i see my ap
[04:45] <Raikia> Iankap99_: You want "Ubuntu Software Manager" for that, not synaptic
[04:45] <done365> dmesg shows a dvd title mounted
[04:45] <edbian> tarik: so that command works.  I'm not sure what the issue is. Can you paste.ubuntu.com  the output of dmesg    ??
[04:45] <Raikia> Iankap99_: Synaptic still works, but Ubuntu software Manager is more GUI friendly for programs like that
[04:46] <Iankap99_> can i get any viruses from synaptic of ubuntu software manager
[04:47] <^NiNjA> no viruses in linux to my knowledge
[04:47] <^NiNjA> no one writes them for it
[04:47] <tarik> edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/592435/
[04:47] <hiexpo> Raikia, ok got itback now lets see waht i can break now   lol
[04:47] <Raikia> ^NiNjA: That is not true
[04:47] <KINGOFSWORDS> Raikia what am i suppose 2 do
[04:47] <edbian> tarik: no no.  The output of dmesg
[04:47] <^NiNjA> Raikia,  as I sadi "to my knowledge"
[04:48] <Iankap99_> no im saying will synaptic allow third party code?
[04:48] <slaeya> Iankap99_: It really depends how you use them.  If you use package manager to open a file that is untrusted and you don't know what it does, there is a possibility you could install something that you really don't want
[04:48] <mike-ekim> I think I have tried every documentation scenario on the internet
[04:48] <doginabag> what if I have linux as a virtual machine on win7 and I want to start the pc almost directly to linux, mmmm..... linux as a virtual machine offers me everything it would offer as a real installation?
[04:48] <^NiNjA> which isn't infallible  lol
[04:48] <mike-ekim> and nothing 8(
[04:48] <Raikia> Iankap99_: No, you can't get viruses from synaptic or those package managers unless you download a deb file yourself and open it with it
[04:48] <Iankap99_> deb file?
[04:48] <Raikia> ".deb" file
[04:48] <^NiNjA> debian package file
[04:48] <slaeya> Iankap99_: however it will explain to you that the file is from an untrusted source and you should not install it unless you know what it is and where it is coming from.
[04:48] <Raikia> ^
[04:49] <^NiNjA> ubuntu is based on debian
[04:49] <Iankap99_> ahh ok
[04:49] <done365> Since upgrading packages to 10.10 I am unable to access my dvd rom using any programs
[04:49] <Iankap99_> so can someone submit a bug report? i'd like to help make ubuntu better
[04:49] <done365> any help
[04:49] <^NiNjA> somethings you may need or want will come in a DEB package
[04:49] <Raikia> does anyone know a good virtual machine for ubuntu?
[04:49] <Raikia> apparently virtualbox doesnt work for 64-bit ubuntu?
[04:49] <ZykoticK9> Raikia, it most certainly does!
[04:49] <slaeya> Raikia: I'm running virtualbox on x64 now.
[04:50] <Raikia> The internet stands corrected then
[04:50] <Raikia> thanks :-)
[04:50] <^NiNjA> Iankap99_,  always submit bugs you experience yourself, that way any hardware related or specific issues can be accurately addressed
[04:50] <slaeya> Raikia: since version 1.4 ~ 1.5 virtualbox has supported x64 architecture.
[04:50] <Iankap99_> ok, but it's pretty general.
[04:50] <arand> Raikia: kvm and vmware are other alternatives, Vbox is probably the most common aon popular
[04:50] <done365> seems as though bug reports pretty much go unaddressed
[04:50] <Raikia> Ooohh...this explains it.  "Last edited 04/02/2007"
[04:51] <Iankap99_> During installation, i spent an hour confused because the username has to be lowercase
[04:51] <^NiNjA> still by submitting bugs personally you can help to give a scope of the problem
[04:51] <Iankap99_> there was no indication that it had to be lowercase
[04:51] <Raikia> Iankap99_: That has been reported a while ago.  There is no indication for it to be lowercase
[04:51] <tarik> edbian what is dmesg
[04:51] <^NiNjA> maybe its a 64-bit only issue, maybe its specific to your hardware
[04:51] <^NiNjA> all of that matters
[04:51] <Iankap99_> seems pretty easy to fix
[04:51] <done365> lsusb
[04:51] <KINGOFSWORDS> sudo apt-get install googleearth
[04:52] <KINGOFSWORDS> why doesnt this work?
[04:52] <^NiNjA> best to resgister and submit bugs you experience

[05:01] <luckysmack> at work i have windows, and at home i have ubuntu. is there a way i can set it up so i can print on my home printer from work? can anyone recommend somewhere to look on how to set that up?
[05:03] <KINGOFSWORDS> james@ubuntu:~$ googleearth
[05:03] <KINGOFSWORDS> /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:04] <bobo__> luckysmack, ssh; cat to_print.ps > /dev/printer; maybe that could show you the direction where to look for the rudimentary methods
[05:04] <luckysmack> k thanks
[05:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> whats a broken dependencies?
[05:04] <t_king> ??
[05:05] <abstrakt> luckysmack, VPN
[05:05] <Belial`> does anyone know how to access an encrypted home folder from a different partition/installation to view the music and videos on it? i mounted it, but since it's encrypted i can't tell what is what.
[05:05] <Raikia> KINGOFSWORDS: For you to actually learn, you have to learn how to google for solutions.  People aren't going to sit in here and answer every single question.
[05:05] <Ryalnos> where would I go to find someone willing to answer an awk question?
[05:05] <KINGOFSWORDS> i thought it was ubuntu help
[05:05] <zelda> Hey,guys,I met a problem.When I grub the ubuntu 10.04,I input 'linux /boot/grub/core.img' ,then an error comes out: invalid magic number.
[05:05] <rww> !google | Raikia
[05:06] <Aginor> Ryalnos, in ##awk perhaps :D
[05:06] <zelda> Who met this before?
[05:06] <Raikia> Damnit, rww.  I knew someone was going to !google me
[05:06] <rww> Raikia: then don't say things like that ;P
[05:06] <Ryalnos> thanks
[05:06] <python> Belial did you use cryptkeeper
[05:06] <KINGOFSWORDS> google isnt much help since it just shows forum threads for problems same as mine but which dont actually get resovlved
[05:06] <KINGOFSWORDS> thats y so frustraing
[05:06] <python> to learn more about linux you could download CBT Videos
[05:06] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok
[05:07] <zelda> invalid magic number when grub....help
[05:07] <KINGOFSWORDS> it says installed and it now in applications but its not actually loading
[05:07] <slaeya> KINGOFSWORDS:  http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+a+broken+dependency
[05:07] <Aginor> KINGOFSWORDS, you don't have the packages installed that you need
[05:07] <Aginor> !search libfontconfig.so.1
[05:07] <rww> slaeya: don't link lmgtfy in here.
[05:08] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh it installed now
[05:08] <KINGOFSWORDS> if it doesnt startup then surely thats a system problem...which is way to advanced for a newbie to find solution to
[05:09] <steve_lsdnodv> ? 1430? mostly noise?
[05:09] <haripinter> wow
[05:09] <Aginor> !search libfontconfig
[05:09] <slaeya> rww: my bad, I actually googled it first and read the first link which was relevant to the problem.  Maybe next time I should post an absolute instead of an engine result.
[05:09] <alan_> hey is there a way to tell ubuntu to use packages from a later release?
[05:09] <rww> slaeya: indeed :)
[05:09] <alan_> i need a new version of sqlite3, but i have ubuntu 9.04
[05:10] <Cpt_Zyph> hey guys quick question.. how do i edit my init run lvl via the gui not just command line.. and also were is the file for the command line edit of init levels
[05:10] <alan_> its telling me that i have the latest version, but i need to upgrade to use sqlite3-ruby for rails
[05:10] <steve_lsdnodv> Wilco Tango Foxtrot
[05:10] <rww> alan_: installing packages from newer versions of Ubuntu on older versions is not supported officially or in here. Neither is 9.04 in general, since it stopped receiving security updates and became End Of Lifed in October.
[05:10] <rww> !eol
[05:10] <I-are-> If I want to copy a home directory from another system to mine, after creating a user, are there any files that I should not replace.  I am moving from ubuntu server 10.10 to debian lenny.  the same user name.
[05:10] <zelda> Hey I met a problem when grub,it said error invalid number
[05:10] <alan_> so i basically have to upgrade??
[05:10] <Diamondcite> rww: Isn't it 8.04 that's EOL?
[05:10] <rww> alan_: if you want support in here, yes.
[05:10] <rww> Diamondcite: 8.04 reaches EOL status on desktops later this month.
[05:11] <alan_> is there a workaround?? i just need one package
[05:11] <rww> Diamondcite: 9.04 was October. The odd ordering is because 8.04 was an LTS.
[05:11] <Diamondcite> rww: 9.04 was only a year?
[05:11] <rww> Diamondcite: 18 months
[05:11] <slaeya> alan_: there is but not supported in here.
[05:11] <Diamondcite> Ah
[05:11] <sgerbino> hey all -- i just upgraded from maverick to the natty development branch, will I be easily able to upgrade to the final release on April 28th?
[05:11] <alan_> k thanks
[05:11] <rww> !final | sgerbino
[05:12] <rww> meh, that's not informative yet
[05:12] <rww> sgerbino: yes.
[05:12] <sgerbino> rww: ok, i don't want to ride the development branch passed final release of natty (just to be clear)
[05:12] <alan_> i dont have a monitor for the server, is there a way to safely upgrade to the latest version from command line?
[05:12] <luckysmack> abstrakt: ok. thx
[05:13] <rww> alan_: the instructions in the EOLUpgrades link ubottu mentioned have instructions for servers
[05:13] <rww> sgerbino: you won't. Regular updates to non-final versions of natty will become natty stable and not the next devel release
[05:13] <phonex01> hi guys
[05:13] <sgerbino> rww: awesome, thank you rww
[05:13] <luckysmack> for printing to my home computer (ubuntu) from work (windows 7) couldnt i just setup my printer at home to be a network printer and at work just connect a network printer from my home IP address?
[05:14] <phonex01> when i login i have this error msg could not update ICEauthority file ?
[05:14] <linda_> What is the best way to set date to auto sync?
[05:14] <sgerbino> luckysmack: probably safer to do that with a vpn connection but yeah
[05:14] <alan_> i just did a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[05:14] <linda_> So that time stays correct...
[05:14] <rww> linda_: install the 'ntp' package, it'll do it automatically
[05:14] <raido> alan_: I personally recently brouht a 9.04 server up tp 10.04 with success
[05:14] <rww> alan_: Follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Jaunty , as I said.
[05:14] <alan_> awesome thanks
[05:15] <alan_> reading now
[05:15] <rww> (and continue upgrading past Karmic to Lucid, since Karmic goes EOL this month too)
[05:15] <linda_> rww, Tnx
[05:15] <rww> (Lucid is supported until 2013 on desktops and 2015 on servers)
[05:16] <hiexpo> hey does system recue cd have a channel ?
[05:16] <linda_> rww, where do I find the time zone setting?
[05:16] <alan_> that will just push me to 9.10, how do i get to 11.4?
[05:17] <raido> alan_: upgrade and repeat
[05:17] <KINGOFSWORDS> googleearth wont load can sum1 tell me
[05:17] <rww> alan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades
[05:17] <KSHawkEye> Does the update manager run a upgrade or a dist-upgrade?
[05:17] <rww> alan_: which I'd recommend you stay on, since 11.04 isn't out yet and isn't LTS.
[05:17] <slaeya> KINGOFSWORDS: we are aware you have problems with google earth.  What error are you produced with.
[05:18] <ZykoticK9> KSHawkEye, dist-upgrade
[05:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> i dont understand
[05:18] <alan_> thanks guys, you all have a been a big help
[05:18] <KSHawkEye> ZykoticK9: Thanks.
[05:18] <rww> KSHawkEye: upgrade by default, dist-upgrade is what it calls a "Partial Upgrade"
[05:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> i dled and instlled 3 times
[05:18] <alan_> so should i cancel the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[05:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> i only installed ubuntu yesterday
[05:19] <raido> alan_: no thats not a release upgrade
[05:19] <slaeya> KINGOFSWORDS: what is your error you are getting ?
[05:19] <ZykoticK9> rww, wow - i don't think that is correct.  Partial Upgrade mean impending breakage of some packages (not everything can be upgraded) - or am I mistaken?
[05:19] <raido> alan_: finish that and then do the release upgrade
[05:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> error 4 what
[05:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> no error its just not opening
[05:19] <hiexpo> slaeya, what distro is he running also 10.04?
[05:19] <rww> ZykoticK9: The whole point of dist-upgrade is to remove packages if necessary to satisfy dependencies (which is generally not necessary except due to breakage)
[05:20] <rww> in almost all scenarios, upgrade and dist-upgrade do the same thing.
[05:20] <slaeya> hiexpo: I believe it is 10.04 from earlier.  Maybe I should check again.
[05:20] <rww> sigue: fix your connection, please.
[05:20] <hiexpo> slaeya, yes that is weird cause i have it and it works fine
[05:21] <KINGOFSWORDS> u know what fuck it...i dont even want the program anymore
[05:21] <linda_> Where are time-zone settings?
[05:21] <slaeya> /wrists
[05:21] <rww> linda_: see the first section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime
[05:21]  * rww not on Ubuntu right now, not sure if that page is accurate
[05:21] <linda_> rww, Tnx
[05:22] <slaeya> anyway ... I should really get back to work.... 2 hour lunch break again
[05:23] <slaeya> ciao
[05:23] <zelda> invalid magic number when grub...
[05:23] <zelda> how to do
[05:27] <Toph> what is the command in linux to determine where you are in the directory?
[05:28] <Raikia> pwd
[05:28] <Jordan_U> zelda: /boot/grub/core.img is not a linux kernel. Why are you trying to load it as if it were one?
[05:28] <dustin_> how do i get the mac -like floatin bar
[05:28] <Toph> Raikia,,, thanks
[05:31] <dustin_> how do i get the mac -like floatin bar like you see on youutbe videos ?
[05:32] <Jrsquee> the dock on the bottom?
[05:32] <peng_> hello
[05:32] <Jrsquee> you should install the app 'docky' from the ubuntu software center, dustin_
[05:32] <dustin_> yeah ,or a list of ththem
[05:32] <Jrsquee> other ones you might be interested in are awn, and dockbar-x
[05:33] <Jrsquee> docky's pretty good though
[05:33] <Jordan_U> zelda: If you want to load grub from grub you would use 'multiboot /boot/grub/core.img', but then there is the question of *why* you are trying to load grub from grub in the first place.
[05:37] <madurax86> x server doesnt load in the installation on  via video (p4m800) but it works well when live cd is booted
[05:40] <penguinman_> madurax86, probably loads a diff driver on the livecd for compatibility reasons
[05:41] <madurax86> penguinman_: can i use the live cd kernel image on the installation?
[05:41] <p0pc0rninj4> ubuntu users are gay enought to not use backtrack
[05:41] <p0pc0rninj4> :D
[05:41] <rww> p0pc0rninj4: Don't use "gay" as a pejorative, please.
[05:41] <folorn> im on bt and i like ubuntu
[05:42] <pmgpsmap> Don't say gay or fag please
[05:42] <penguinman_> madurax86, does it boot you into a terminal?
[05:42] <p0pc0rninj4> jajajaja
[05:42] <folorn> thats kinda harsh for new folks
[05:42] <folorn> jaja laf swede right ?
[05:42] <madurax86> penguinman_: yeah
[05:42] <p0pc0rninj4> laddy gaggas of the nix w0rld

[05:42] <folorn> ur gonna get booted lol
[05:42] <pmgpsmap> yeah those insults are not funny
[05:42] <p0pc0rninj4> :S
[05:42] <p0pc0rninj4> OMFG!
[05:43] <z0mb13> p0pc0rninj4: backtrack is essentially ubuntu with precompiled hacker tools
[05:43] <penguinman_> try running startx, see if it kicks out an error
[05:43] <p0pc0rninj4> syadmin
[05:43] <p0pc0rninj4> sysadmin dont kill me
[05:43] <p0pc0rninj4> ubuntu are for n00bs
[05:43] <folorn> u were one too lol

[05:43] <deadaim> I'm trying to install sun-java6 on ubuntu 10.10.  I've enabled the partner repository, but I still don't find sun-java6-bin in either Ubuntu software center or synaptic package manager.  Anyone have any ideas how I can correc this?
[05:44] <Ben64> deadaim: did you reload package list?
[05:44] <pmgpsmap> I need to get Irssi proxy setup
[05:44] <folorn> try running it from just the plain terminal ?
[05:44] <deadaim> Ben64: yes
[05:44] <DaPenguin> pmgpsmap, you can try proxychains and point that at your proxy
[05:45] <madurax86> DaPenguin: it says "screens found but non have a usable configuration"
[05:45] <pmgpsmap> Proxychains ? I want to get something to connect irc clients to so I may send push notifications to my mobile upon private message
[05:45] <pmgpsmap> When I am away of course
[05:46] <viks> how to enable telnet on port 69
[05:46] <deadaim> Ben64: what's wierd is that when I look at the jaunty/main origin, i see no packages...
[05:46] <viks> #ltsp
[05:46] <DaPenguin>  madurax86 hmm, probably an xorg.conf error
[05:46] <deadaim> Ben64: I did get an error message on duplicate sources
[05:47] <rww> deadaim: ... jaunty?
[05:47] <madurax86> DaPenguin: i didnt make one theres no xorg.conf
[05:47] <DaPenguin> madurax86, oh yeah, keep forgetting xorg doesn't have one by default these days
[05:47] <viks> how to enable telnet on port 69
[05:48] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "ConsoleKit is a framework for defining and tracking users, login sessions, and seats." I know what a "seat" in an airplane is. What is a "seat" in ConsoleKit?
[05:48] <DaPenguin> madurax86, what driver are you running for your video?
[05:48] <deadaim> rww: Ubuntu 10.10 maverick meerkat
[05:48] <rww> deadaim: I'm aware. You said jaunty :|
[05:48] <madurax86> DaPenguin: i think its via/openchrome
[05:48] <rww> bullgard4: a set of peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc.) that one might sit down at and use.
[05:48] <deadaim> rww: fair point
[05:49] <DaPenguin> madurax86, think the live cd just uses default vesa config...
[05:49] <cl3tUs> What is the RAM limit on a x64 Ubuntu 10.10 os?
[05:49] <bullgard4> rww: Thank you very much for explaining.
[05:49] <madurax86> DaPenguin: how to set that? I didnt see any kernel parameters
[05:49] <deadaim> rww: yeah, but that's what it says to enable, the 'archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty' source
[05:50] <rww> deadaim: if you're using maverick, put maverick there instead of jaunty.
[05:50] <madurax86> DaPenguin: i tried xvesaforce, gfxpayload=keep, nomodeset nothing worked
[05:51] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, more than your motherboard can support ;)
[05:52] <deadaim> rww: ahh, thanks!! I can't believe ubuntu didn't do that automatically for me.  I just upgraded from jaunty to maverick today
[05:52] <DaPenguin> used to be an xorg config util, can't remember the name of it off my head
[05:53] <Iankap99_> can anyone help me get vim going?
[05:54] <DaPenguin> Iankap99_, what's the issue?
[05:54] <Iankap99_> anyone here?
[05:54] <Iankap99_> i type im
[05:54] <Iankap99_> vim*
[05:54] <Iankap99_> and it offers me a bunch of packages
[05:54] <Iankap99_> i type sudo apt-get install vim
[05:54] <ZykoticK9> Iankap99_, try "vi" and it should show vim in the title screen
[05:54] <Iankap99_> and i get resource temporarily unavailable
[05:55] <DaPenguin> !fixapt
[05:55] <ZykoticK9> Iankap99_, oh if you don't have it installed then you need to fix that issue first
[05:55] <Iankap99_> vi worked
[05:55] <Iankap99_> how do i open it im at the title screen
[05:56] <Iankap99_> ahah
[05:56] <Iankap99_> i think i got it
[05:56] <Iankap99_> many thankyous
[05:56] <visual1ce> hi
[05:56] <visual1ce> 2 weeks and 2 ocz vertex 2 ssds crapped themselves
[05:56] <Iankap99_> wait it just looks like a blank terminal with a bunch of tildas
[05:57] <visual1ce> have to reinstall - AGAIN
[05:57] <visual1ce> ~
[05:57] <z0mb13> Iankap99: what are you trying to open in vi?
[05:57] <visual1ce> ppa for oracle/sun java pls?
[05:57] <ZykoticK9> visual1ce, partner repo
[05:57] <madurax86> DaPenguin: can i boot the live cd kernel? i just tried it loads up goes in to busybox and says no init is found
[05:58] <DaPenguin> madurax86, ubuntu kernels don't use traditional boot methods, they have a seperate init image
[05:58] <cl3tUs> ZykoticK9, :D  I like that answer.  I have a coolermaster case, but for some reason, the 3.5 hd's won't fit in their slots.  I need to find one with some space to store my vbox drives on and I'd like 8 GB of ram to run lots o virtuals to teach myself networking and such.
[05:59] <madurax86> DaPenguin: initrd? i gave the linux image and initrd.lz (from the cd) as boot parameters to grub
[05:59] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, 8GB isn't even much for 64bit
[05:59] <DaPenguin> madurax86, try copying them to the /boot dir and runnung update-grub, should auto detect them
[06:00] <cl3tUs> ZykoticK9, What would you use?
[06:00] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, meaning 64bit can address a lot more (i personally would love to have 8GB, i only have 4)
[06:00] <cl3tUs> I'm jumping into soething new and I want to be prepared.
[06:00] <madurax86> DaPenguin: it didnt auto detect i had to edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom file then it added them as a boot option
[06:00] <cl3tUs> I use some tax $$$ to build this unit.
[06:01] <DaPenguin> madurax86, hmm, something i'm probably missing here then...
[06:02] <almoxarife> what is the terminal version of 'open files' view found in system monitor??
[06:04] <ZykoticK9> almoxarife, lsof
[06:04] <almoxarife> ZykoticK9: thnks
[06:04] <hansam> hi friends

[06:08] <hansam> really hope someone can help me
[06:08] <littlebearz> hansam: depends on their server
[06:08] <littlebearz> most residential network blocks sendmail port 25 I think

[06:09] <hansam> my sendmail*
[06:09] <littlebearz> there's two place, one from sending , one from receiving end

[06:10] <hansam> can i do that from my sendmail

[06:10] <red2kic> Great idea. Block ports so the people/zombies can't spam. :)
[06:11] <littlebearz> red2kic: yeah, but sometimes can be annoying, when it's just easier to send a mail from the cli
[06:13] <dustin_> Jrsquee, thanks for the help, is there any i can help you with

[06:19] <JAQK-Joker> Is anybody there?
[06:21] <JAQK-Joker> Are we allowed to type in Dutch?
[06:22] <red2kic> !dutch | JAK
[06:22] <red2kic> JAQK-Joker: See above.
[06:23] <JAQK-Joker> red2kic: Thank you.
[06:23] <adityag> red2kic : could you help me ? what is the command to to replace "AdityaShah" to "KashyapShah" in all types of files & in all sub folders. ?
[06:24] <red2kic> adityag: Looks like the job for sed/awk -- but I don't know them very much myself.
[06:25] <psypher246> hi all, could someone please point out where on launchpad is the big fat" report a bug" button? Sorely lacking
[06:25] <fisch246> if this problem comes up again... here's a solution... if someone says that when they input "sudo update-grub" and it returns errors, it could be the fact that swap is listed before their linux partition by udev... for example Ubuntu is in /dev/sda4 and the swap is listed in /dev/sda1, nothing to worry about, just a warning message will appear... your welcome :)
[06:26] <red2kic> adityag: Install renameutils -- It *probably* is easier than sed.
[06:27] <red2kic> !info renameutils
[06:27] <adityag> red2kic : thanks
[06:27] <JAQK-Joker> ubottu: Heb je ooit kijken naar Digimon?
[06:27] <psypher246> please tell me how to log a bug WITHOUT ubuntu-bug?
[06:28] <JAQK-Joker> ubottu: Wat?
[06:28] <z0mb13> poor ubottu, one day you will understand
[06:28] <red2kic> !bug | psypher246
[06:28] <red2kic> psypher246: Make an account with launchpad.
[06:28] <psypher246> i alrady haVE AN ACCOUNT
[06:28] <psypher246> I HAVE ALREADY ERAD THAT PAGE
[06:29] <psypher246> woops
[06:29] <psypher246> sorry not screaming
[06:29] <red2kic> psypher246: :)
[06:29] <psypher246> the page does not explain how to log a bug without ubuntu-bug
[06:29] <icecream> how do i get watch to beep on a different result?
[06:29] <peng_> hello every body.
[06:30] <red2kic> psypher246: Try searching for the package you're having bugs wiht.
[06:30] <psypher246> please explain where on launcvhaped can i find the simple function: report a bug
[06:30] <psypher246> ok lemme explain
[06:30] <psypher246> can't log a bug with ubuntu-bug cos it crashes with a bug
[06:30] <psypher246> ?
[06:30] <psypher246> so now what....
[06:30] <psypher246> I ahve logged many many bugs with ubuntu-bug
[06:30] <WaltherFI> bugs.launchpad.com or something?
[06:31] <psypher246> and then...
[06:31] <rww> psypher246: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs does say how to file a bug without using ubuntu-bug.
[06:31] <red2kic> psypher246: Don't use ubuntu-bug. File it manually.
[06:31] <psypher246> would love to know how...
[06:31] <rww> psypher246: in short, use http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/PACKAGENAME/+filebug?no-redirect , replacing PACKAGENAME with the relevant source package.
[06:31] <psypher246> why so complicated??
[06:31] <psypher246> why can't there just a be a button oin the first page, report a bug?
[06:32] <psypher246> simple
[06:32] <Jrsquee> did someone ping me?
[06:32] <slaeya> can anyone walk me through troubleshooting a wireless problem.
[06:32] <rww> psypher246: There used to be. It was a pain because people kept using it, filing against the wrong package, and not using ubuntu-bug.
[06:32] <WaltherFI> slaeya: hi there
[06:32] <WaltherFI> slaeya: realtek i guess?
[06:32] <psypher246> rww silly
[06:32] <slaeya> WaltherFI: you got it.
[06:32] <red2kic> I like my files organized.
[06:32] <BestKeptSecret> what's the /proc/kcore file?
[06:33] <WaltherFI> slaeya: RTL8192E?
[06:33] <psypher246> evebn when i go TO the firefox page the report a bug button is greyed out
[06:33] <slaeya> WaltherFI: whats the command to output the model pls.
[06:33] <WaltherFI> slaeya: lspci |grep Realtek
[06:34] <psypher246> rww that linik u gave me does not work
[06:34] <BestKeptSecret> what's the /proc/kcore file?
[06:34] <BestKeptSecret> anyone know?
[06:34] <Hick0rd> Hello, video's within youtube has no sound on the new ubuntu 11.04 - Any ideas?
[06:34] <slaeya> WaltherFI: RTL8101E/RTL8102E
[06:34] <JAQK-Joker> Is er om het even wie?
[06:34] <WaltherFI> slaeya: hmm... Not sure if i've seen that one on the forums
[06:35] <WaltherFI> slaeya: anyway, go to ubuntuforums and search with that
[06:35] <bazhang> JAQK-Joker, english only here
[06:35] <rww> psypher246: works fine for me. Make sure you're replacing PACKAGENAME with a source package name.
[06:35] <WaltherFI> slaeya: for most of the Realteks'
[06:35] <bazhang> Hick0rd, support for natty in #ubuntu+1
[06:35] <adityag> how do i remove all files of a particular extension from all subfolders ?
[06:35] <rww> BestKeptSecret: http://www.unixguide.net/linux/faq/04.16.shtml
[06:35] <slaeya> WaltherFI: its an intriguing problem, as I can connect to some networks and not others
[06:35] <WaltherFI> slaeya: people have emailed Realtek and got the native drivers
[06:35] <Hick0rd> bazhang, thank you.
[06:35] <BestKeptSecret> rww, i just went to that page
[06:35] <BestKeptSecret> thanks
[06:35] <WaltherFI> slaeya: so search the forums and find the .sh or .run or something
[06:36] <psypher246> rww: sorry but this is all very silly
[06:36] <psypher246> fronty page: report a bug, next question which app do u want to report.. deon simple
[06:36] <bazhang> psypher246, he gave you a solution; no need for the meta-commentary
[06:36] <slaeya> WaltherFI: thanks ... will do
[06:36] <rww> adityag: find . -name \*.PUTEXTENSIONHERE -delete
[06:36] <WaltherFI> slaeya: for me, i found my 8192E native linux drivers there, after a bit of digging
[06:36] <WaltherFI> slaeya: we're not alone with the problems
[06:36] <rww> adityag: to test it first, remove the -delete part
[06:37] <adityag> rww : ok
[06:37] <WaltherFI> rww: now that's handy
[06:37] <rww> psypher246: As I said, it used to be set up that way. After the ten thousandth time asking bug reporters for information that's automatically added by ubuntu-bug, the current setup starts looking less silly.
[06:38] <z0mb13> so anyone else excited about the new commodore 64 running ubuntu?!
[06:38] <WaltherFI> z0mb13: wow, really?
[06:38] <z0mb13> hell yes
[06:38] <WaltherFI> hm, got to get one of those
[06:38] <bazhang> !ot > z0mb13
[06:40] <slaeya> WaltherFI: could it still be the driver if the issue is intermittent ?
[06:40] <JAQK-Joker> And one more thing before I leave can type English words in there British form for example, "harbour" American "harbor".
[06:41] <slaeya> WaltherFI: I have created 8 Different SSIDs with various types of auth and cannot auth on the WEP SSIDs
[06:42] <asrij> привет всем

[06:43] <WaltherFI> kaushal: yes
[06:43] <JAQK-Joker> Jolly good show old bean.
[06:43] <asrij> лохи пидары
[06:43] <kaushal> WaltherFI: is it available using apt-get ?
[06:43] <WaltherFI> kaushal: adobe.com has 'experimental' 64bit
[06:43] <WaltherFI> kaushal: nope. adobe.com has 64bit, been working on my system perfectly well
[06:44] <kaushal> WaltherFI: please paste me the URL ?
[06:44] <WaltherFI> kaushal: it is on the 'experimental' section, but i see no reason for it
[06:44] <WaltherFI> kaushal: oh sorry, you have to google it... i'm on my mobile phone
[06:46] <JAQK-Joker> red2kic: I am back.
[06:46] <red2kic> JAQK-Joker: Bravo. Welcome back.
[06:47] <wjlafrance> Hello! I'm trying to use Ubuntu with a PS2 keyboard, but the machine was set up for a USB keyboard. For some reason the PS2 keyboard works in BIOS but not the OS. Any ideas?
[06:48] <ayecee> wjlafrance: using the stock kernel, or a custom kernel?
[06:48] <JAQK-Joker> red2kic: Do you know about the #TV-Nihon channel?
[06:48] <wjlafrance> ayecee: stock
[06:48] <red2kic> JAQK-Joker: No. I do not.
[06:48] <ayecee> wjlafrance: no ideas then. that's pretty strange.
[06:48] <kaushal> WaltherFI: do i need to put libflashplayer.so under /usr/lib64/firefox-4.0/plugins
[06:48] <kaushal> is it a soft link ?
[06:49] <arazilla> the ubuntu-offtopic channel no longer exists?
[06:49] <JAQK-Joker> red2kic: Thank you.
[06:49] <red2kic> wjlafrance: Upgrade your keyboard to USB? :)
[06:49] <red2kic> !ot | arazilla
[06:49] <wjlafrance> red2kic: just downgraded. USB doesn't work in BIOS
[06:49] <red2kic> kaushal: ~/.mozilla/plugins (per-user directory) -- It'll work too.
[06:51] <red2kic> wjlafrance: Ah. I don't know. I do have PS2 keyboard. It have to be plugged in when you boot it up. I experienced no problems. Pretty much worked out of the box.
[06:51] <JAQK-Joker> Which is safer Windows or Ubuntu?
[06:52] <ayecee> JAQK-Joker: that is a very poor question
[06:52] <eighteens> i saw this in my logs, http://paste.ubuntu.com/592460/ "my question is, is this a bad thing?"
[06:52] <bazhang> JAQK-Joker, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat NOT here
[06:52] <JAQK-Joker> ayecee: Why?
[06:52] <newbie2011> Hi, i am interested in learning the actual theory behind linux /unix how the kernel works etc
[06:52] <ayecee> eighteens: doesn't look like a bad thing
[06:52] <bazhang> JAQK-Joker, its offtopic. take it to the proper channel.
[06:53] <ayecee> newbie2011: what do you want to know?
[06:53] <eighteens> ayecee, so the connect line, does that note that it's connected? or trying to connect
[06:53] <slaeya> eighteens: you are running a webserver I take it.
[06:54] <ayecee> eighteens: CONNECT is an http method, like GET or POST.
[06:54] <newbie2011> Well i am bored and i dont like to read something that is pretty technical and probably over my head, just as a challenge. I am curious as to how an actual operating system is constructed, etc.
[06:54] <slaeya> eighteens: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1719894&page=2
[06:54] <ayecee> it looks like each of those requests received a 302 repsonse.
[06:54] <eighteens> i noticed this recently, it has me concerned
[06:55] <eighteens> slaeya, yes i'm running a webserver
[06:55] <ayecee> newbie2011: I'm not sure I follow. you want to understand something technical without reading something technical?
[06:55] <slaeya> eighteens: read the thread I sent you.
[06:57] <WaltherFI> back here, i think someone missed me?
[06:57] <slaeya> WaltherFI: WB
[06:57] <newbie2011> No, no i do want to read the technical material. I guess what i am looking for is a place where i can start learning the real nitty gritty details of how a computer works. I know how to build a computer given the components, i can compile and run programs on linux, i can build a computer network, but i want to understand the details behind all of it.
[06:58] <bazhang> newbie2011, thats far outside the scope of this channel.
[06:58] <slaeya> Battling with super slow internet and lag at the office :(
[06:59] <ayecee> newbie2011: good luck with that.
[06:59] <WaltherFI> slaeya: huh?
[06:59] <newbie2011> Well thats exactly why i came back to IRC id figure someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I wasnt sure where to start though, so i tried here
[06:59] <slaeya> lol nevermind.
[06:59] <bazhang> !alis | newbie2011 check here
[07:00] <bazhang> newbie2011, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, here for ubuntu support
[07:01] <slaeya> !god
[07:01] <newbie2011> Ok thanks.
[07:01] <bazhang> slaeya, /msg ubottu please
[07:01] <JAQK-Joker> Also if anybody was wondering I got my name from watching the Tokusatsu show J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai (ジャッカー電撃隊).
[07:01] <slaeya> baz ... that was in the wrong room sorry
[07:01] <kkerwin> Howdy. I have an old (8 years) desktop that I'm thinking about repurposing as a word processor. The unit has 512MB RAM and a Pentium 4. Would this be a better candidate for Lubuntu, or for a thin client? Potential server of the thin client (were I to elect to go that route) is a dual-core 4GB RAM laptop, which is already my main.
[07:02] <bazhang> kkerwin, lubuntu would be speedy on that
[07:02] <tsaknorris> good morning. i would wanna ask, does SMB require always username/password?  If i make file where everybody has read/write access....
[07:02] <ayecee> kkerwin: perfectly suitable for full ubuntu.
[07:02] <slaeya> tsaknorris: no smb can be run without auth
[07:03] <kkerwin> ayecee: If I were to go that route, I would prefer KDE. Would I still be good there?
[07:03]  * kkerwin Ducks to avoid tomato...
[07:03] <ayecee> kkerwin: sure, though you probably wouldn't get all the eye candy.
[07:03] <rww> kkerwin: Try it and see. It's worked for me in the past.
[07:04] <slaeya> tsaknorris: did you have a specific problem or just asking?
[07:04] <kkerwin> ayecee, rww, and bazhang: Thank you very much. I'm really looking forward to this project. For some reason, repurposing older computers is more exciting to me than working with top of the line stuff ...
[07:05] <rww> same here :)
[07:05] <tsaknorris> slaeya hmm ok... i want to user network scanner to scan to my server folder...but if choose to leave username and password empty (even folder has rights for everybody) it doesnt wanna send scanned pdf there :/
[07:06] <tsaknorris> user = use
[07:07] <tsaknorris> it isnt enough if i have correct domain.
[07:07] <slaeya> tsaknorris, pastebin.ubuntu.com smb.conf
[07:08] <tsaknorris> that xerox scanner wants to have username...i cant now. this is different domain and different pc.
[07:08] <slaeya> well use a guest one if it requires one
[07:10] <liuzhili5300> ni  hao
[07:10] <liuzhili5300> you  ren  ma

[07:15] <borillion_> does anyone know if there is a way to print a page out as a image instead of a pdf, it gets messed up when I do pdf
[07:15] <WaltherFI> borillion_: export as png?
[07:15] <WaltherFI> borillion_: or, other image format
[07:15] <slaeya> grrrr .wireless nightmare - I feel like throwing the thing.
[07:15] <WaltherFI> slaeya: have you found the driver?
[07:15] <borillion_> WaltherFI didn't think of that one
[07:16] <Morfeo> hi
[07:16] <slaeya> WaltherFI: yep installed etc.
[07:16] <slaeya> same problem with WEP Authentication
[07:16] <WaltherFI> borillion_: i guess most of the office programs can do the exporting natively straight from enus
[07:16] <WaltherFI> menus*
[07:16] <slaeya> WaltherFI: WPA WPA2 and No Security all work.
[07:16] <slaeya> just not WEP
[07:16] <borillion_> WaltherFI from chrome or firefox tho
[07:17] <WaltherFI> slaeya: strange... have you checked that you're using the correct settings for wep key? open/shared, key number etc
[07:17] <WaltherFI> borillion_: grab a screenshot perhaps?
[07:17] <Morfeo> support channel in spanish???, thanks and sorry
[07:18] <bazhang> Morfeo, #ubuntu-es
[07:18] <WaltherFI> !sp
[07:18] <WaltherFI> oh that one
[07:18] <WaltherFI> hm, i'm getting rusty at ubottuing
[07:18] <borillion_> WaltherFI LOL, thats an ugly way to do it
[07:18] <slaeya> WaltherFI: yeah I did check all of that.  I have 8 ssids still running with various configurations and I can connect on this laptop on all 8 just not the new ubuntu install :(
[07:19] <Morfeo> bazhang, ,,,, thanks
[07:19] <WaltherFI> slaeya: strange... you could try emailing Realtek to get the latest drivers, they seem to have very good service
[07:20] <WaltherFI> slaeya: someone sent email on saturday and got the newest drivers... on sunday
[07:21] <slaeya> WaltherFI: thanks I emailed them about 30 mins ago when you advised me to, I'm just frustrated as its probably something I've done.  Usually always is.
[07:21] <WaltherFI> slaeya: you could try pseudo-clean install
[07:22] <WaltherFI> slaeya: take the memstick, boot, install again but don't check the format
[07:22] <WaltherFI> slaeya: so it'll just remove everything conflicting
[07:22] <slaeya> oh really ?
[07:22] <WaltherFI> slaeya: also, a good excuse to try ubuntu 11.04 ;)
[07:23] <slaeya> WaltherFI: I'll install 11.04 on here but not on this other laptop... its too important to get wrong.  Although it will be wired 24/7 I like to make sure everything works
[07:23] <WaltherFI> slaeya: sure. Have you tried connecting old-fashioned way with iwconfig?
[07:24] <truculent> anybody here running dual monitors with 11.04?
[07:24] <WaltherFI> truculent: #ubuntu+1
[07:24] <slaeya> WaltherFI: yes I have ;)
[07:24] <WaltherFI> slaeya: hm, dunno then
[07:24] <WaltherFI> anyway, i've got to leave for schoo
[07:24] <slaeya> WaltherFI: The puzzling thing is it affects WEP only
[07:25] <slaeya> WaltherFI: thanks take it easy7
[07:25] <WaltherFI> slaeya: wep is strange in itself, and old and insecure
[07:25] <slaeya> I dislike WEP its a solution I have to support until they upgrade though :(
[07:25] <slaeya> solution was the wrong word (hardware)
[07:27] <abstrakt>  anyone happen to know why my error messages aren't all "prettified" from xdebug?
[07:27] <abstrakt> is that a compile time option or something? aka does the ubuntu package just not ahve this?
[07:27] <Schala> I've been having trouble with Ubuntu's MinGW cross compiler, if help for that applies here.

[07:35] <borillion_> seena just use apt-get
[07:36] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, what stops ? hmm maybe I explained it bad, the current problem is when I change visual effects for example on normal, it says do I wanna keep the changes and I choose yes but when its done and I close the window, there is no effect, and when I go to the visual effects window, its still on none
[07:36] <Morfeo> good night, I need documentation on debmirror, anyone know where I could find it?
[07:36] <Seven_Six_Two> seena, look in synaptic for mysql and install either the metapackage (look in descriptions) or the server and client. Usually the metapackage will depend on the latest version in the repository
[07:36] <Blashyrkh> okay i think i just had to install standard gnome themes as well :)

[07:37] <kimmy> has any one experienced freeradius
[07:37] <Seven_Six_Two> Dude, ok, have you reinstalled compiz in synaptic? In system >> administration >> additional drivers, do you have one activated?
[07:37] <borillion_> seena: http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/04/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
[07:38] <kimmy> has any one experienced freeradius ?
[07:38] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, yes I tried reinstalling compiz but it didnt change anything, about the driver I'm using the last driver ubuntu recommend me
[07:38] <slaeya> ok so I've killed my wireless altogether
[07:39] <Seven_Six_Two> Dude, can you open a console, and type     glxinfo | grep '[dD]irect'        and paste the output here?
[07:39] <zee313> how to download islamic themes on ubuntu?
[07:39] <slaeya> I recompiled a driver like a walkthrough on the forums to attempt to fix my wireless ... no I don't have anything working
[07:40] <gnugr> seena: sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
[07:40] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, direct rendering: Yes     GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,
[07:40] <seena> gnugr: i want mysql 5.0
[07:40] <ZykoticK9> Seven_Six_Two, it might be easier in future to suggest "glxinfo | grep -i direct" which searches both upper and lower case.
[07:41] <rasyid> seena : why you want mysql 5.1??
 i do not want lamp server to be installed, any way i am using python not php
[07:41] <Seven_Six_Two> Dude, ok, in a terminal, try      compiz --replace
[07:41] <Seven_Six_Two> ZykoticK9, thanks. I forgot the switch
[07:41] <kimmy> hey guys ? Any body know how to perform mac auth using freeradius
[07:41] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, Error: Couldn't load plugin 'ccp'
[07:42] <Seven_Six_Two> Dude, no wait...      compiz-decorator --replace
[07:42] <seena> rasyid: clients are asking specific version that's mysql 5.0
[07:42] <Seven_Six_Two> seena, are you sure they didn't just mean the major version?
[07:42] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, Found no decorator to start
 yes
[07:43] <soreau> Dude: Pastebin the output of dpkg -l|grep compiz
[07:43] <Seven_Six_Two> Dude, confirm Emerald is installed
[07:44] <ZykoticK9> !emerald | Seven_Six_Two
[07:44] <soreau> Seven_Six_Two: He needs libcompizonfig, not emerald
[07:44] <rasyid> seena: may be you must install mysql 5.0 from tar.gz , you can download from mysql.org
[07:44] <Seven_Six_Two> ZykoticK9, oh no! soreau thanks for correcting me!
[07:45] <soreau> !info libcompizconfig0
[07:45] <soreau> Seven_Six_Two: lcc provides ccp plugin, needed for settings to work properly
[07:45] <rasyid>  sorry ... i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i get problem black/blank screen when swicth user any idea guys??
[07:46] <gnugr> seena: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html
[07:46] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, lol the commands made me restart >.<
[07:46] <soreau> Dude: Pastebin the output of dpkg -l|grep compiz
[07:47] <Dude> soreau, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/592479/
[07:47] <Seven_Six_Two> soreau, is metacity deprecated too? I am falling behind! Too much school work I tell you...
[07:47] <soreau> Seven_Six_Two: metacity is the default wm for gnome
[07:47] <soreau> doesnt have anything to do with compiz
[07:47] <Seven_Six_Two> soreau, no, but it provides a decorator
[07:48] <soreau> Dude: Install compiz
[07:48] <Sheepherd> hi all. in this description of the apt-get man http://paste.pocoo.org/show/369474/ what do theses numbers behind the packages mean exactly?
[07:48] <soreau> Seven_Six_Two: No, it doesnt
[07:48] <Dude> soreau, my problem is from compiz, I installed it two times again and it didn't help
[07:48] <morgan> anyone got a lil hardware advice, i applied pressure accidentally to a heatsink on a new motherboard n it kinda cracked loose. still held in place but I'm worried maybe I busted the thermal paste. Theres a pic here, blue sink middle to the left http://www.alphacity.co.nz/images/consumables/M4A88TD-M.jpg
[07:48] <soreau> Dude: What are you trying to do ultimately?
[07:49] <soreau> morgan: Try ##hardware
[07:49] <rasyid>  sorry ... i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i get problem black/blank screen when swicth user any idea ??
[07:49] <rizanoar> hello what method to compile .tar.gz is?
[07:49] <Dude> soreau: no, but I just restarted again and now, it gives me the error of "composite extension is not available"
[07:49] <morgan> soreau - cheers
[07:50] <soreau> ! compile | rizanoar
[07:50] <clean> Are there anyone using  firefox 4 ?
[07:50] <Visitor_1971> question: I just installed (k)ubuntu and would like to try out the new KDE, but cannot find any options that let me do that... how do I start KDE?
[07:50] <soreau> Dude: What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
[07:50] <rizanoar> thanks man!
[07:50] <fission6> would an application run faster if it were built from source rather than installed using apt-get? assuming apt-get is not buildin form source
[07:50] <Dude> soreau, what do you mean ?
[07:50] <ZykoticK9> fission6, unlikely, perhaps slower even.
[07:50] <fission6> really?
[07:50] <fission6> how so
[07:51] <soreau> Dude: Im asking why are you here, what is your problem with ubuntu?
[07:51] <Morfeo> Visitor_1971, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:51] <Dude> soreau, come on ! I was explaining my problem for half an hour for seven_six_two >.> you started helping me so I thought you know whats my problem
[07:51] <clean> Are there anyone using firefox 4 ?;-)
[07:51] <ZykoticK9> fission6, if you compile with optimizations it can lead to larger executables that run slower (this from my gentoo-rice days)
[07:51] <Visitor_1971> Morfeo: I did that it still brings me to the gdm and only lets me start unity
[07:52] <Seven_Six_Two> Visitor_1971, there should be a drop down menu at the login screen that lets you select the session.
[07:52] <fission6> thats sort of backwards
[07:52] <ZykoticK9> clean, i am, but not on ubuntu.  ask your real question.
[07:52] <Visitor_1971> Seven_Six_Two: there isn't
[07:52] <Dude> soreau, give me a moment I'll write my problem for you again
[07:52] <soreau> fission6: It depends on what application. Some source might be able to be configured differently though ubuntu has optimization tests for most important apps
[07:52] <Seven_Six_Two> Visitor_1971, did you install all of the kde packages, or just certain ones?
[07:53] <fission6> interesting, i am thinking for a lot of daemon / server code
[07:53] <soreau> ! 11.04 | Visitor_1971
[07:53] <fission6> ie memcached
[07:53] <fission6> nginx
[07:53] <Seven_Six_Two> Dude, on some clients, using the up arrow will cycle old messages
[07:53] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, thanks ^^
[07:53] <Visitor_1971> not all of them, but I DID install kubuntu-desktop
[07:54] <soreau> Dude: Same applies for terminals, in case you didnt know
[07:54] <Dude> soreau, I was happy with normal visual effects until I installed advanced desktop effects, then my linux froze and I had to restart it, after it, I removed ADE and tried to get back to normal visual effects but now it shows me "Composit extension is not available" I tried reinstalling my driver even but didnt work.
[07:55] <soreau> Dude: Are you using nvidia?
[07:55] <seena> rasyid: i will get only rpm packages in mysql.org
[07:55] <Dude> soreau, yes nvidia geforce 9800 gtx+
[07:55] <Seven_Six_Two> Visitor_1971, Are you on 11.04? if so, please use the #ubuntu+1 channel. I don't have it installed, so I don't know about any of the issues.
[07:56] <soreau> Dude: You need to enable the composite extension. IIRC, you want twinview as xinerama disables compsite
[07:56] <soreau> compositing*
[07:56] <Dude> soreau, can you tell me how ?
[07:56] <Seven_Six_Two> Dude, do you have nvidia-settings installed?
[07:56] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, yes I do
[07:56] <soreau> Dude: I am not familiar with nvidia. Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to paste.ubuntu.com
[07:56] <Dude> Seven_Six_Two, or I think so
[07:57] <rasyid>  sorry ... i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i get problem black/blank screen when swicth user any idea guys??
[07:57] <soreau> Or at least, Im more familiar with open drivers
[07:57] <Seven_Six_Two> Dude, if you start it with sudo, it will save your xorg.conf if you make settings that work for you. I can confirm twinview if you have multiple monitors
[07:58] <Dude> soreau: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/592483/   I'm using two monitors
[07:58] <ZykoticK9> Dude, Seven_Six_Two use "gksu nvidia-settings" not sudo
[07:58] <phonex01> guys i have problem
[07:58] <phonex01> im trying to mount one of my drives and i have this error mesg
[07:58] <phonex01> Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[07:58] <phonex01> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /
[07:58] <phonex01> mount failed
[07:58] <FloodBot3> phonex01: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:58] <soreau> Dude: I said /var/log/Xorg.0.log, not /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:58] <ikonia> phonex01: / is already mounted, you're  using it, it's your root files system
[07:59] <Dude> soreau, oh sry
[07:59] <ZykoticK9> phonex01, the drive you are mounting is not /dev/sda1 - that's your root partition
[07:59] <phonex01> ok then !
[07:59] <Seven_Six_Two> ZykoticK9, what for? gksudo is a front-end.
[08:00] <Dude> soreau, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/592485/
[08:00] <ZykoticK9> Seven_Six_Two, if you using sudo with GUI apps you can land yourself in trouble - use gksudo instead
[08:00] <ZykoticK9> !gksu > Seven_Six_Two
[08:01] <soreau> Dude: You see how it has xinerama 1 in xorg.conf? When you use nvidia-settings to enable twinview and disable xinerama, compositing will be enabled after you save and restart X
[08:01] <rizanoar> great
[08:01] <Evanescence> how to install unionfs-module in ubuntu Lucid ? I can not find it .
[08:01] <soreau> Dude: Use gksu nvidia-settings (sys>admin>nvidia-blah)
[08:01] <Dude> soreau, I know, let me try to change
[08:02] <Dude> soreau, okay its done. but I need my monitors be spreated not the same
[08:03] <soreau> Dude: What do you mean by that?
[08:03] <Critycal> hey my openUBUNTU version is acting weird
[08:03] <Critycal> can someone help me
[08:03] <Critycal> i removed some sudo fles
[08:03] <Critycal> files
[08:03] <soreau> Dude: Cant you set them up that way in nvidia-settings?
[08:03] <Critycal> but it doesnt work
[08:03] <Dude> soreau,  nothing, so now I need to restart ?
[08:03] <soreau> ! enter | Critycal
[08:03] <soreau> Dude: yes
[08:04] <soreau> Dude: At least restart X by logging out
[08:04] <magn3ts> how can I create virtual network devices and let applications leverage connections on each one?
[08:04] <Critycal> soreau do you know why my openUBUNTU is barely working?
[08:04] <soreau> ! work | Critycal
[08:05] <soreau> magn3ts: Try ##networking?
[08:05] <ZykoticK9> Critycal, what is openUBUNTU?
[08:05] <Critycal> i get weird errors soreau
[08:05] <Critycal> ZykoticK9 it's a special repack
[08:05] <soreau> ! paste | Critycal
[08:06] <Critycal> wow you so rude
[08:06] <Critycal> using chatbots for helping me
[08:06] <Critycal> i herd help was nice here
[08:06] <ZykoticK9> Critycal, do you have a link?  Google doesn't seem to find it?
[08:06] <soreau> Critycal: We are supposed to guess what errors you have?
[08:06] <soreau> That is hardly practical
[08:06] <soreau> Instead, use a pastebin service to show what errors you get
[08:06] <Dude> soreau, I can change to normal or extra but after I close it, there is no change and when I reopen it, its still on None !
[08:06] <Critycal> its a gedit error, it just turns everything i create in a gedit shortcut/executable
[08:07] <soreau> Dude: Pastebin the output of compiz --replace now
[08:07] <soreau> Dude: and dpkg -l|grep compiz
[08:07] <Amtrask> Is 11.04 going to use GNOME or Unity?
[08:07] <Seven_Six_Two> ZykoticK9, like starting it from a launcher instead of a terminal? those references you sent (to a non ubuntu site) reference articles that are 5 years old, and are not at all applicable to sudo vs gksudo.
[08:07] <Critycal> Amtrask: xcfe
[08:07] <soreau> ! 11.04 | Amtrask
[08:07] <Guest96975> I use feroda 14 on my virtualbox when I try ping www.google.com I get unknow ping:...
[08:08] <soreau> Guest96975: Try #fedora
[08:08] <vish> Guest96975: ask in fedora channels.. :)
[08:08] <jOZe> hola
[08:08] <Dude> soreau, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/592487/ And http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/592488/
[08:08] <soreau> ! es | jOZe
[08:08] <Critycal> Guest96975 : uhm did you try to use openUBUNTU yet?
[08:08] <Critycal> its a great underground svn repack
[08:08] <debd> join --window #ubuntu-motu
[08:08] <vish> Critycal: what is OpenUBUNTU, and why are you advertising that here?
[08:08] <ZykoticK9> Seven_Six_Two, actually they still are.  If you start nvidia-settings from the menu, it won't right to xorg.conf (no elevated privilege), so you need to start nvidia-settings with gksu -- if you using sudo you can break your system.  which is explained in the !gksu factoid.
[08:08] <soreau> Dude: sudo apt-get install compiz
[08:09] <Critycal> vish: it's a underground repacker
[08:09] <Critycal> it works good
[08:09] <Critycal> but not anymore
[08:09] <Critycal> cause gedit makes not document but shortcuts and executables
[08:09] <jOZe> ok soreau
[08:09] <vish> Critycal: any links? if its not in the official ubuntu repo , pls dont suggest those here
[08:09] <gnugr> Dude: to start compiz it might help you this command: " gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager compiz "
[08:10] <ZykoticK9> vish, Critycal wouldn't answer me either ;)  OpenUbuntu???
[08:10] <Dude> soreau,it worked !! thanks
[08:10] <vish> ZykoticK9: yea, i noticed :)
[08:10] <soreau> Dude: You are welcome.
[08:10] <soreau> ZykoticK9: nvidia-settings asks for password if it needs privs
[08:10] <Dude> soreau, you are awesome ^^ one thing, why the borders are orange now instead of black !?
[08:10] <soreau> ZykoticK9: From the menu entry
[08:11] <Rask> Sorta nooby linux question here - once you've changed /etc/group, how do you 'rehash' it?
[08:11] <soreau> Dude: You need to configure your decorator. Remove emerald and restart compiz or use emerald-theme-manager to select a decorator
[08:11] <ZykoticK9> soreau, that's newish ;)  but much improved.  thanks.  sorry Seven_Six_Two my bad.  (but i'm not wrong about the sudo vs gksu)
[08:11] <soreau> theme
[08:11] <Dude> soreau, ahh okay I'll try
[08:12] <viks_> can we remove all applcation for local user
[08:12] <nighter> Rask: no need to rehash it.
[08:12] <Seven_Six_Two> ZykoticK9, sorry, not the site. Just the references from the site. circa 2006. The site itself looks nice
[08:12] <soreau> Dude: Alternatively start gtk-w-d with gtk-window-decorator --replace
[08:12] <Rask> nighter: No?  Rats, something else must be wrong, then
[08:12] <nyuszika7h> Hi!
[08:13] <Reminy> Real newbie question: I've forgotten my Ubuntu 10.10 password. I have already googled solutions, but they all involve GRUB (Which isnt showing during boot or if I press ESC during bootup) are there any other ways of resetting a forgotten password? Or another way to bring GRUB2 up?
[08:13] <ZykoticK9> Reminy, hold down SHIFT to get Grub2 menu
[08:13] <Reminy> Thank you, ZykoticK9, I'll try it now
[08:14] <Dude> soreau, this one has custome skins, I mean where did the default them of 10.,10 go ?
[08:14] <nyuszika7h> Flash games seem to have a very bad font in Ubuntu... why? I tried Liberation Sans, Ubuntu, DejaVu Sans (current) -- no change at all.
[08:14] <Reminy> It worked! Thanks a lot ZykoticK9, love you dude :)
[08:14] <soreau> Dude: Try running gtk-window-decorator --replace and see what happens (from Alt+F2 run dialog)
[08:14] <m4lyx> j ubuntu-server
[08:14] <m4lyx> ups
[08:15] <Dude> soreau, :P love you
[08:15] <soreau> Dude: I suspect you are currently using the emerald decorator which uses its own themes. gtk-w-d uses metacity/gtk themes
[08:15] <soreau> Seven_Six_Two: And that is how you fix compiz :)
[08:15] <Dude> soreau, yea it worked ^^
[08:15] <Seven_Six_Two> soreau, good job!
[08:15] <viks_> how to disable all the applcation for local user in ubuntu
[08:15] <Dude> Thanks to all for helping again, have a good day
[08:18] <slaeya> has anyone had any luck with RTL8101SEvB Wireless on UBUNTU ?
[08:18] <soreau> ! realtek
[08:18] <slaeya> soreau: thanks
[08:19] <Critycal> you guys got em?
[08:19] <nyuszika7h> Nobody?
[08:19] <Critycal> nyuszika7h u got em?
[08:19] <clean> Are there anybody using firefox 4 ?
[08:20] <nyuszika7h> clean: yep
[08:20] <andrew_46> clean: Using it here :)
[08:20] <clean> I can't run firefox 4 by ./firefox-bin
[08:20] <Morfeo> clean, i am
[08:20] <slaeya> sorry it was a RTL8191SEvB which isn't supported in that documentation but I'll google away
[08:20] <clean> ./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[08:21] <soreau> slaeya: I think realtek and broadcom need driver installation/tweaking
[08:21] <soreau> Other main brand chips have open drivers
[08:21] <clean> ubottu: thanks I know this , but I want to run firefox 4 without install it and replace my firefox 3.6.16
[08:21] <rww> I used to have a realtek that worked out of the box. Wifi cards tend to be very variable depending on model.
[08:22] <unam3> Hello everyone! Im in need of kernel 2.6.39-rc's asus-wmi driver....  I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, does anyone got a suggestion?, cause I feel pretty lost after tried to compile the kernel that worked except for the NVIDIA driver.....
[08:22] <soreau> rww: Isnt realtek RLT chipsets? (independent from branding names)
[08:22] <soreau> Im more familiar with atheros
[08:23] <rww> soreau: Yes. model, chipset, whatevs.
[08:23] <rww> "Depending on which one you have" :)
[08:23] <slaeya> rww: I also had Realtek that worked out of the box, this one is just perplexing.  It worked on the live cd on WPA only now it doesn't even work.
[08:23] <soreau> I guess thats the kicker
[08:23] <soreau> slaeya: Does lsmod show the module is loaded for it?
[08:24] <soreau> slaeya: Or dmesg show anything interesting?
[08:24] <slaeya> lsmod - shows   r8192se_pci
[08:25] <soreau> slaeya: Do you have an interface shown in iwconfig output?
[08:25] <slaeya> soreau yes I do.
[08:25] <soreau> slaeya: wlan0 or what is it called
[08:26] <slaeya> wlan0
[08:26] <Guest21843> #join
[08:26] <slaeya> I can type it all into pastebin if you like ?
[08:26] <soreau> slaeya: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep -i ssid
[08:26] <soreau> slaeya: Does it show APs?
[08:27] <slaeya> soreau: none at all.
[08:27] <soreau> slaeya: bummer
[08:27] <slaeya> whereas on this machine I can see all 8
[08:27] <soreau> slaeya: Im not familiar with realtek
[08:28] <soreau> maybe it needs some other driver
[08:28] <slaeya> soreau: thanks, I'll keep playing ... I love my atheros ... it just works :p
[08:28] <soreau> No doubt
[08:28] <laza> Running natty building modules via dkms stopped working.It complains "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed." But I have the sources installed. Any hints?
[08:28] <damno> today my successful build !!
[08:29] <soreau> ! natty | laza
[08:29] <rizanoar> how to restoring lost gnome panel?
[08:29] <rizanoar> i screw up

[08:30] <rizanoar> okay, i will try
[08:30] <rizanoar> amazing, it's working
[08:30] <rizanoar> thanks
[08:35] <slaeya> soreau: just out of interest shouldn't I be able to modprobe ?

[08:37] <nyuszika7h> If anyone ever wants to use Flash on Ubuntu, gsfonts-x11 and msttcorefonts is a must have... text in Flash just looks ugly without them.
[08:39] <red2kic> Surf the net without flash is a must!
[08:42] <nyuszika7h> red2kic: Yeah, HTML5 is the future... but it takes a while for *every* site switch from Flash to HTML5...
[08:42] <nyuszika7h> And 'while' can be monhts... years... and more...
[08:42] <aaron_c> is now the time to start learning html5?
[08:42] <red2kic> I doubt it will happen. People are still using IE6. :\
[08:42] <aaron_c> or can we wait for another year
[08:43] <ewww> hello people, whats the cause of "time to live exceeded"
[08:43] <red2kic> What are you waiting for? An engraved invitation to learn HTML5? :)
[08:43] <ewww> i havent done anything in the network
[08:44] <nyuszika7h> aaron_c: It's best to use HTML5 if available, and fallback to Flash... except for things like games -- it would be hard to make them in both.
[08:44] <arghos> oh yeah lol
[08:45] <slaeya> rww: are you still lurking ?
[08:45] <rww> slaeya: kinda.
[08:45] <rww> about to go to bed
[08:45] <opera> what is mean shuttleworth?
[08:45] <slaeya> rww: quick wireless question.  From the link you gave me before I managed to get the wireless adapter working but cant connect to any APs with security.
[08:46] <rww> opera: Shuttleworth is the family name of the person in charge of the Ubuntu project.
[08:46] <slaeya> anything you know I could read on that ?
[08:46] <rww> slaeya: I don't remember giving you a link :S
[08:47] <slaeya> rww: maybe its just me messing up names again ... I'll keep googling ;) thanks
[08:47] <nyuszika7h> Another question: my ASUS K50AF series laptop came with a program called "SRS Premium Sound" or something like that, and it makes sounds much better... is it possible to install something similiar in Ubuntu?
[08:47] <rasyid> sorry ... i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i get problem black/blank screen when swicth user any idea guys??
[08:49] <popey> nyuszika7h: taken a look on their website? http://srslabs.com/premiumsound/
[08:50] <slaeya> rasyid: try ctrl + alt + F7 through F12 and see if it brings the logon screen back up
[08:52] <pneftali> hi
[08:52] <rasyid> slaeya: thanks for your respon
[08:52] <slaeya> rasyid: did you have any luck ?
[08:52] <pneftali> what does it mean if a directory name has '.' in the first character
[08:53] <Kimmen> pneftali: it's the current directory
[08:53] <clean> after I close firefox 3.6, it works !
[08:53] <pneftali> Kimmen, no... the directory name is ".asdf"
[08:54] <Kimmen> pneftali: . is current dir, .xxxx is usually hidden dir
[08:54] <rasyid> slaeya : not yet, I'm already try  try ctrl + alt + F7 and get login screen but if i swicth user from panel again i get black screen again and i must reboot
[08:54] <Starminn> pneftali: It means it's a "hidden directory"
[08:54] <pneftali> hmmmm.
[08:54] <pneftali> okay thanks Starminn
[08:55] <csenges> hi, i'm still on ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) amd64 arch. I need to install a 32bit binary (oracle xe). There a plenty of tutorial how to do it, they all say i should install "apt-get install lib6c-i386", however this package is not in my apt-sources. Need i to add a specific source or download the deb package?
[08:55] <Starminn> pneftali: You know how in Windows certain directories and files are hidden? And it's a pain to unhide them? In Linux, if you want to "hide" a directory, just add a "." in front of it and to view it do View->Show Hidden Files or something
[08:55] <Ben64> csenges: you should really upgrade to 10.04 at least
[08:56] <rasyid> slaeya : you have another idea ?
[08:56] <Starminn> csenges: 8.04 will no longer be support at the end of this month.
[08:58] <slaeya> rasyid: do you have a nvidia card and the latest nvidia drivers ?
[08:58] <natty> help!!!
[08:59] <csenges> Ben64, Starminn: You're right, but that is on the admins table. You may know if it is possible to install libc6-i386 on a amd64 arch in general?
[08:59] <natty> I need your help,
[08:59] <natty> I cant install a fast ethernet driver in Ubuntu.
[09:00] <slaeya> natty: what sort of driver do you have?
[09:00] <rasyid> slaeya: i'm using intel
[09:00] <slaeya> sorry I meant hardware
[09:00] <natty> It dosent seen to recorgnise the fast ethernet controller and it does not connect to the internet
[09:00] <Ben64> natty: need to know the hardware to help you
[09:00] <Starminn> csenges: I know nothing of Arch, but this might help? http://littlebrain.org/2008/05/12/how-to-install-oracle-xe-in-ubuntu-64-bit/
[09:01] <slaeya> brb ... going for dinner
[09:01] <natty> slaeya: I have JMicron PCI Express Fast ethernet,
[09:01] <Starminn> csenges: It's 3 years old though. *shrug*
[09:01] <Ben64> natty: what does lspci say
[09:01] <csenges> starminn: this is exactly one of the tutorials depending on installing lib6c-386. I just cannot install it on amd64.
[09:01] <natty> it doesn't show anything
[09:02] <Starminn> csenges: Oh... I gotcha. So in that page the "sudo apt-get libc6-i386" doesn't work for you, right?
[09:03] <natty> slaeya: is there a way to add the .inf file and sys file to my directories
[09:03] <csenges> starminn: right, i just downloaded the package from packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/amd64/libc6-i386, hope that works out
[09:04] <Ben64> hardy packages are only going to exist for a few more weeks
[09:04] <Starminn> csenges: I was actually about to link you to this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libc6-i386 as it says, "This is the 32bit version of the library, meant for AMD64 systems. "
[09:04] <Starminn> Ben64: He has no control over that
[09:04] <natty> Ben64: How do I add the .inf file and the .sys file to my Ubuntu?
[09:04] <Ben64> natty: huh? those are for windows
[09:04] <natty> yes, sure.
[09:05] <Ben64> ubuntu is not windows : /
[09:05] <dyd> hi all
[09:05] <natty> Ben64: I am sure its not.
[09:05] <Starminn> !details | natty
[09:05] <natty> Ben64: will ndiswrapper work?
[09:05] <gnugr> natty: try #bill-gates
[09:05] <Ben64> natty: what does lspci say
[09:06] <dyd> in windows xp there is an option to have a better mouse "accuracy" (in italian "aumenta precisione puntatore"). Is there any way to set this also in ubuntu? the mouse feels weird
[09:06] <natty> Ben64: bill; what about him?
[09:07] <Starminn> dyd: System->Preferences->Mouse
[09:07] <Starminn> dyd: I'd say it's "Sensitivty"
[09:08] <Starminn> natty: Open up a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type in "lspci" and post the output to http://pastebin.com
[09:09] <Starminn> natty: That way Ben64 can help you like he's trying to do.
[09:09] <Ben64> i gave up from the smart-bum response
[09:09] <dyd> Strarminn: no it's not just that, in xp it's like a checkbox that you can turn on or off, not a slide, the difference is not so much, but helps so much when you move the pointer just a little
[09:09] <chinni009> Hello
[09:10] <xragu> HI
[09:11] <jhala> is there any package in ubuntu wheich can show geolocation when mac address is known
[09:11] <Heliodor> What can cause 100% cpu on samba, sftpd when copying large files over network?
[09:12] <Ben64> jhala: geolocation is not possible from mac address
[09:12] <Starminn> dyd: And you've tried the slider and noticed nothing?
[09:12] <jhala> Ben64: what else: i have just lost my netbook.
[09:12] <Ben64> what?
[09:12] <dyd> Starminn: yes this just sets sensitivity, like in xp, and it works fine
[09:13] <xragu> Anyone can help understand IPv6 addressing
[09:13] <xragu> ?
[09:13] <xragu> Please
[09:13] <Ben64> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6
[09:13] <rasyid> slaeya, are you still ? :)
[09:13] <dyd> Starminn: there's a screenshot of the menu i'm talking about (xp): http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Af_weWLxNnw/TRTWAHOJoGI/AAAAAAAABns/f_re1z3zH8Q/s1600/precisione_mouse.jpg
[09:13] <jhala> Ben64: I need to track my netbook as soon as it gets attached to a wifi or network since mac wont change
[09:14] <Ben64> mac address is not possible to find out over the internet
[09:14] <papaya> anyone here?
[09:14] <gnugr> xragu: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/
[09:14] <papaya>   If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[09:15] <Starminn> dyd: I know the one. I dual-boot XP (though I've not touched it in months, I'll admit). I just would think that  Sensitivity would do that. I fnot, I don't know.
[09:15] <Starminn> papaya: Running something in WINE?
[09:15] <kickingvegas> Ok, just did an apt-get install LLLSDLaserControl. Let the fun begin. #finallywatchedtronlegacy
[09:15] <papaya> yes
[09:15] <dyd> Starminn: thank you anyway
[09:15] <papaya> can you help me ?
[09:15] <tuxx-> LLLSDLaserControl ftw
[09:15] <tuxx-> \o/
[09:16] <Starminn> papaya: Sometimes when you just try to "double-click" on a WINE program it gives you that. Instead, navigate to it from the terminal and do "wine /path/to/file" and it should work fine.
[09:16] <papaya> ok  ,I try
[09:17] <lolmatic> hi
[09:17] <kickingvegas> tuxx-: actually I'm having trouble getting LLSDLaserControl to work; know where I can find the right driver?
[09:17] <lolmatic> how do i get folder based navigation in rhythmbox?
[09:17] <Starminn> kickngvegas: Woot! (Say that in #ubuntu-offtopic for a better audience)
[09:17] <papaya> yes ,It  works
[09:18] <papaya> thank you
[09:18] <kickingvegas> Starminn: ok
[09:18] <tuxx-> kickingvegas: you'll have to use the ENCOM linux drivers for that to work.
[09:19] <Starminn> papaya: Awesome.  Sadly that's the only way to get around that that I know of. IF you want to make things easier on yourself you could make a bash script to do that. Just to "#! /bin/bash" as the first line then the second "wine /path/to/file" and make a launcher for it. That way when you click it should work
[09:20] <papaya> thanks a lot
[09:20] <red2kic> Alias can do the trick too.
[09:21] <pneftali> hi guys
[09:21] <jhala> is there any package in ubuntu wheich can show geolocation when mac address is known
[09:21] <Starminn> papaya: IF you need help with the bash launcher I can help, but that should take care of you. ;)
[09:21] <ikonia> jhala: mac has nothing to do with location
[09:21] <pneftali> is there a linux command to copy a file to another folder and automatically deletes it from its current folder ?
[09:22] <ikonia> pneftali: cp filename /newfolder && rm filename
[09:22] <Ben64> pneftali: you looking for "mv" ?
[09:22] <red2kic> pneftali: "mv" -- Move.
[09:22] <ikonia> Ben64: simpler, better
[09:22] <wjlafrance-desk> How can I make ubuntu quit asking for my password every time the screensaver pops up?
[09:22] <jhala> ikonia: why not? even emails have mac id on them!!
[09:22] <ikonia> wjlafrance-desk: disable screen locking
[09:22] <ikonia> hjertnes: the ip address is to do with location, and even that's not always accurate
[09:22] <wjlafrance-desk> ikonia, thanks
[09:24] <pneftali> ahh. how can I do that to all files in a folder in one line ?
[09:24] <pneftali> hmm mv -r ?
[09:24] <ikonia> pneftali: move is recursive
[09:25] <Ben64> jhala: emails don't have mac
[09:25] <gnugr> jhala: check this plz: http://mac360.com/index.php/mac360/comments/find-your-macs-geolocation-with-wifi-geotracking
[09:25] <Ben64> gnugr: thats not the right mac
[09:25] <JamesMR> Hi, I'm getting an error with dpkg when trying to use apt, "dpkg: syntax error in file triggers file `/var/lib/dpkg/triggers//File'" Ubuntu 10.10
[09:25] <pneftali> hmm ikonia, so mv source_folder_name destination_folder_name ?
[09:25] <papaya> how to run it?
[09:26] <ikonia> pneftali: how to run what ?
[09:26] <ikonia> pneftali: it's that simple yes
[09:26] <pneftali> ah cool. thanks :)
[09:27] <Starminn> papaya: Right-click->Properties->Permissions->Set as executable (if you're talking to me still)
[09:29] <jhala> gnugr: is there nothing similar on ubuntu like firing a daemon which continuously checks for mac . i would even pay for it.
[09:31] <arghos> Gone quiet?
[09:32] <gnugr> jhala: to find geolocation on mac: " HotSpot/Wlan + GPS + Google =  Your LOCATION! "
[09:33] <verywiseman> when i start my system , it need to make filesystem repair , and when i make repair by fsck.ext4, this error appear "This program cannot start until you start the dbus system service", where is problem?
[09:34] <ikonia> verywiseman: why do you need to repair your file system, what's the problem
[09:36] <bodai> hi there!got a built in firewire card to my laptop.my problem is that I can't use it as a network controller.what can I do?
[09:36] <verywiseman> ikonia, because i make unclean shutdown , so system enforce me to make filesystem check
[09:37] <ikonia> wjlafrance-desk: it should do that automatically on boot up,
[09:37] <montezuma> why does my nm-applet not show my configured 3g connection? all I see is "Wired network: device not managed", "Wireless networks: disconnected" (both greyed out) and "VPN connections". my 3g connection always was in the same menu above "VPN connnections", but now its not here. what do?
[09:37] <lolmatic> lolmatic: how do i get folder based navigation in rhythmbox?
[09:38] <Ben64> jhala: what exactly are you trying to do
[09:41] <jhala> Ben64: my netbook is stolen last night. i have it's mac address stored in my phone's bluetooth settings. i want to see if i can track the laptop whenever the thief switches it's wifi on . i need to question the servers of data providers for this .
[09:42] <jhala> Ben64: and it has some important documents and data
[09:42] <gnugr> montezuma: pastebin to us what you get when you type: " iwlist scan "
[09:42] <Ben64> jhala: thats pretty much impossible
[09:42] <mehdi> how can i make network lan btwn a pc and laptop?
[09:43] <Ben64> jhala: have you contacted the police?
[09:43] <red2kic> jhala: Make a backup. Have multiple copies spreading over.
[09:43] <jhala> Ben64 : police is redundant in technology
[09:44] <montezuma> gnugr: i get lo, eth0 and wlan0 response, my 3g would have wwan0 but its not listed
[09:44] <Ben64> its not about technology, its a stolen item
[09:44] <jhala> Ben64 : yes informed police
[09:44] <Ben64> you could go around with your phone or a laptop scanning for that mac address
[09:45] <Ben64> but it'd be a very small range
[09:45] <susundberg> Yeah i guess if the laptop would have some program running that would beacon a (pre-known) server X with its current IP address location could be found
[09:45] <ZykoticK9> jhala, MAC addresses are only used locally, you can't track by MAC across the internet i'm afraid.
[09:45] <montezuma> when I do lsusb my modem doesnt show up, how can I switch it on
[09:45] <montezuma> its internal but connected via usb
[09:45] <jhala> ZykoticK9: you mean there can be a similar mac somewhere else too?
[09:46] <Ben64> jhala: no, he means mac addresses don't get transmitted over the internet at all
[09:46] <gnugr> montezuma: do you have your essid?
[09:46] <ZykoticK9> jhala, shouldn't be no - but IP addresses are used on the internet
[09:46] <montezuma> essid?
[09:46] <adnan> arpa?
[09:46] <gnugr> essid number yes
[09:46] <montezuma> gnugr: i want to connect with my 3g modem, not wlan
[09:47] <gnugr> montezuma: okay m8 sorry
[09:48] <jhala> ZykoticK9:  ip are dynamic but mac cannot change . and probability of searching mac is better than ip
[09:48] <jhala> ZykoticK9:  but i think the tracking software will have similar setup to search a lost mobile
[09:48] <montezuma> its a Ericsson F3507g modem. I can't get it working with wvdial for whatever reason, so I'll try the infamous network-manager again - but the modem needs to be on for this :/
[09:48] <ZykoticK9> jhala, IP addresses are converted to MAC only locally - not across the internet.  You can't go searching for a MAC anywhere but on your local network.
[09:48] <Ben64> but you cant find mac over internet
[09:48] <wrathology> anyone know how to to install untrusted packages in the software ceneter
[09:49] <red2kic> jhala: Do you know what UUID is?
[09:49] <ZykoticK9> jhala, so if the theif connects to your local network - you could get'em.
[09:49] <mvo> JamesMR: could you please file a bug against update-manager and include all the logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade/* ? that should help diagnose the freeze
[09:49] <gnugr> jhala: only apple can find it with your serial number, contact apple tho
[09:50] <Ben64> gnugr: its not a macintosh!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:50] <jhala> red2kic: UUID's are device specific id's. tell me more
[09:50] <gnugr> opsssss
[09:50] <jhala> ZykoticK9: well there is no lan
[09:50] <Morgz> i know this is silly, but im installing ubuntu 10.10 off a usb onto a brand new 30gb ssd. do i create a 30gb primary partition at / or do I use less and save space for the swap?
[09:50] <red2kic> jhala: Right. MAC is the same thing for ethernet cards. What is the chance of you finding a particular UUID over Internet? Zilch. Zero.
[09:50] <jhala> gnugr: not a mac. i was a netbook.
[09:50] <ZykoticK9> jhala, then a MAC is no good for finding them.
[09:50] <Starminn> Morgz: The SSD is empty?
[09:50] <Ben64> Morgz: don't put swap on SSD
[09:51] <pentesilea> I'd like to do some artwork (wallpapers or icons) for ubuntu. Who knows, who i could contact?
[09:51] <wrathology> anyone know how to to install untrusted packages in the software ceneter
[09:51] <Morgz> ssd is empty, no swap on ssd? i thought that'd be a given. so one primary partition, full size?
[09:51] <Ben64> Morgz: swap would kill an SSD quick
[09:51] <wrathology> anyone know how to to install untrusted packages in the software ceneter
[09:52] <montezuma> afk now
[09:52] <Morgz> right. new tech for me, maybe i should read up a bit more, cheers
[09:52] <red2kic> pentesilea: Make your own wallpapers/icons. Release them on your own.
[09:52] <Starminn> wrathology: I guess just add the PPA or download the .deb yourself, 'eh?
[09:52] <jhala> red2kic: you mean when adapter is exposed to internet doesn't probablity to search it increase? hcitool scan displays nearest device
[09:53] <Ben64> jhala: please listen. mac addresses never ever ever ever ever ever get transmitted over the internet
[09:53] <pentesilea> red2kic: why? Are there no other options?
[09:53] <red2kic> jhala: We're talking about Bluetooth?
[09:53] <jhala> red2kic:  is the bluetooth mac different from ethernet mac?
[09:53] <Ben64> yes
[09:53] <Morgz> ben64 - so root on my ssd, i have two wd green's as ntfs... is that my only option for swap?
[09:54] <Ben64> Morgz: pretty much, yeah
[09:54] <red2kic> jhala: Ben64 is correct. It does not goes beyond local DHCP server.
[09:54] <wrathology> anything in english Starminn
[09:54] <Morgz> if i bypass the swap now, can i reassign it later?
[09:54] <Ben64> yes
[09:54] <Ben64> Morgz: how much ram do you have
[09:54] <Starminn> wrathology: Meaning that was too much "tech speak" at once? :)
[09:55] <Morgz> its a htpc, 3x3.1ghz and 4gb of 1600 CL9..
[09:55] <freetown2> green WDs? you mean them 4byte sector disks?
[09:55] <Morgz> 4x3.1ghz
[09:55] <wrathology> yes i'm very new
[09:55] <Ben64> wrathology: you have yet to explain your problem very well
[09:55] <jhala> red2kic:  if i search all ip's of routers in the city, and query for their mac then?
[09:55] <Ben64> Morgz: that should be fine without swap for normal use
[09:55] <Starminn> wrathology: Not a problem. Could you tell us/link us to what you're trying to download?
[09:55] <wrathology> anyone know how to to install untrusted packages in the software ceneter
[09:55] <gnugr> montezuma: check this place: http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?page=WvDialFAQ  and this: http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?page=WvDial
[09:55] <Ben64> wrathology: you just said the same thing again, explain more
[09:55] <wrathology> the ubuntu software system says it's untrusted
[09:55] <Morgz> when i find the space, how do I assign a swap down the track?
[09:56] <Ben64> wrathology: what is "it"
[09:56] <Ben64> Morgz: you can resize the NTFS
[09:56] <paddybird> please help.i use the tool  image-usb-stick to make a usb stick to boot system.  how can it to be converted to the orignal normal usb flash drive?
[09:56] <wrathology> can someone pm me that is smart lmoa sorry
[09:56] <Ben64> !pm
[09:56] <Morgz> im just not sure I wanna risk data loss doing it from the installer. at least back it up first.. for the time being can i proceed without swap n reconfigure later?
[09:56] <lolmatic> lolmatic: how do i get folder based navigation in rhythmbox?
[09:56] <noiesmo> hi all have ubuntu box currently running two nics it is my gateway with squid trans parent proxy etc 1 nic connects to my adsl modem the other my local lan I am wanting to add a wi-fi nic to the box for my wireless local network devices is this possible
[09:56] <Ben64> Morgz: yeah you can
[09:57] <red2kic> jhala: I'm sorry you lost your netbook. I know it probably suck very much. If you have existing services that runs in background (such as Gmail, Dropbox, etc). You may get luck when that thief connected to the Internet. However, if you have screensaver password enabled or anything that may stop the thief, they may install a fresh new OS already.
[09:57] <Morgz> thanx ben64
[09:57] <wrathology> lol is that a no
[09:57] <wrathology> how do i get irc on ubuntu
[09:57] <wrathology> ?
[09:57] <Starminn> Morgz: Just no hibernate and such. Other than that swap is pretty useless AFAIK (assuming you have enough RAM)
[09:58] <jlebrech> i'm liking the look of 11.04 looks a lot like os x, except it's not a blatant copy i like how the top bars on the windows work.
[09:58] <Ben64> wrathology: you still need to explain better; you're on irc now. you can download xchat and use that to get on irc too
[09:58] <Starminn> wrathology: You're on it right now.
[09:58] <Starminn> jlebrech: Natty in #ubuntu+1
[09:58] <wrathology> lol
[09:59] <Starminn> !details | wrathology
[09:59] <jhala> red2kic : no services . but even if they reinstall or whatever mac remains same
[09:59] <wrathology> i'm on my 6th pc i got one with a crashed keyboard and one with ubuntu witch is cool but i'm in the lack of knowing about it
[09:59] <Ben64> jhala: like i said, the only way to find it by mac is to physically travel around and scan for it
[09:59] <sathish> Hi I am sathish from India. Here  I have been trying to download kernel image for smdk6410 via tftp.    I am not able to settup tftp server. Could you please guide me. ( I am running ubuntu 10.04)
[10:00] <red2kic> jhala: Right. This BT adapter you speak of -- The user could stop using it and plug it out.
[10:00] <ZykoticK9> jhala, and what chance to you have of ever seen the bluetooth MAC?  are you going to drive around scanning for it?

[10:41] <Morgz> s0phi3 - not sure, but it sounds like your browser doesn't use the default output. either use system-sound or look through the sound settings in the browser for the problem

[11:24] <novitololo> well... ok
[11:24] <hyper_> I installed ubuntu 10.10 but i want to use windows boot loader instead of grub
[11:24] <hyper_> How can i do it?
[11:24] <Ben64> hyper_: why would you want to
[11:25] <hyper_> Because i like windows boot loader more
[11:25] <hyper_> :)
[11:25] <ZykoticK9> hyper_, "I need help" after your next statement, I agree - but I'm not sure it's technical help you need.
[11:25] <hyper_> Not a specific reason, i just want to have windows boot loader
[11:25] <hyper_> Because if ii uninstall ubuntu
[11:25] <novitololo> Ben64: how do I boot in runlevel 1 ?
[11:25] <Ben64> windows bootloader is a lot more limited
[11:25] <hyper_> i want to have windows boot loader as default not grub
[11:25] <hyper_> If i uninstall it
[11:26] <Ben64> grub would still work without ubuntu present
[11:26] <Olipro> hyper_: XP or Vista/7?
[11:26] <hyper_> I want to get the windows boot loader back
[11:26] <s3r3n1t7> Ben64, grub wouldn't work if you remove Ubuntu, as part of grub is located in /boot/grub
[11:26] <hyper_> I have got windows 7
[11:26] <Olipro> boot an install disc and use bootrec
[11:26] <hyper_> And still be able to use ubuntu
[11:26] <Olipro> a windows install disc that is
[11:27] <Olipro> oh, no, you won't be able to do that
[11:27] <Ben64> fixmbr in windows before you remove ubuntu
[11:27] <Olipro> windows bootloader will nuke the ability to boot ubuntu
[11:27] <Ben64> problem solved
[11:27] <Olipro> so forget that now
[11:27] <hyper_> I dont want to remove ubuntu
[11:27] <dag729> novitolo: (recovery mode) is runlevel 1
[11:27] <Ben64> then use grub!
[11:27] <hyper_> I just want to use it with windows boot loader
[11:27] <novitololo> yes
[11:27] <novitololo> dag729: but from the virtual macihne
[11:27] <Olipro> the windows bootloader doesn't understand how to unpack the linux kernel or pass it options
[11:27] <novitololo> once I'm in the login screen how do I do that?
[11:27] <Olipro> so give up now.
[11:27] <gnugr> hyper_: try #bill-gates-bootloader  channel
[11:28] <soreau> hyper_: windows boot loader is not supported here. Try #windows
[11:28] <Ben64> novitololo: you never see the boot up sequence?
[11:28] <dag729> novitolo: doesn't boot using grub?
[11:28] <hutch> Windows 7 doesn't like any other o/s
[11:28] <Ben64> windows anything doesn't like anything
[11:28] <novitololo> I see a black screen but no messages at all
[11:28] <Olipro> incorrect, Windows 7 does not care
[11:28] <hutch> lol
[11:28] <dag729> novitolo: BEFORE login
[11:28] <ZykoticK9> hyper_, it's technically possible to use the windows boot loader - but non-trivial in nature (it's not meant to boot Linux, where Grub is made to boot almost anything) you're making your live difficult and for what benefit?
[11:28] <novitololo> I was trying to press some F2 or something
[11:28] <novitololo> yes, before login
[11:29] <Ben64> novitololo: on the grub screen is where you'd choose a different runlevel
[11:29] <hyper_> Is there any other boot loader i can use?
[11:29] <dag729> novitolo: start the VM, when it begins to boot keep pressed SHIFT
[11:29] <soreau> hyper_: grub,
[11:29] <Olipro> ZykoticK9: grub chainloads the windows loader anyway, he thinks he can get Windows bootloader to boot linux up
[11:29] <bsod1> what is the best way to write a bootable iso to an usb memory on ubuntu 10.10?
[11:29] <ZykoticK9> Olipro, which is "technically" possible - just very difficult
[11:29] <Ben64> novitololo: alternatively, you can go into the filesystem and modify the shadow file
[11:30] <hyper_> What is the difference if i install ubuntu using wubi or i do a clean install after making partitions?
[11:30] <dag729> novitolo: on the choice of the OS you'll choose the one with recovery mode
[11:30] <dragonkeeper> anyone know what package i can get the library for libgtk-1.2.so.0   ?
[11:30] <dag729> ben64: nothing easier! :D
[11:30] <soreau> bsod1: dd ?
[11:30] <hyper_> Will the perfermance be affected?
[11:30] <soreau> hyper_: One uses the native file system, the other is slower
[11:30] <Ben64> hyper_: actual partitions would be better
[11:30] <novitololo> dag729: I'm launching from virtualbox, and when I choose ubuntu
[11:30] <bsod1> soreau, I find dd hard to use, can you give me a dd command to do this?
[11:30] <soreau> yes
[11:30] <novitololo> it goes all the way to the login screen
[11:31] <novitololo> I don't have anymore options
[11:31] <dag729> how can I make BURG recognize my Kubuntu install?
[11:31] <Ben64> wtf is burg
[11:31] <soreau> bsod1: dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdc
[11:31] <ZykoticK9> Ben64, Grub backwards - it's a fancy boot manager or something...
[11:32] <hyper_> I was thinking about uninstalling ubuntu from partitions and then installing it using wubi as that would allow me to use windows boot loader? Is it a good option, or i shouldn't do it?
[11:32] <[deXter]> Ben64: Brand New Universal Loader.. it's like GRUB
[11:32] <dag729> ben64: http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/Screenshots
[11:32] <Ben64> meh, i'll stick with good ol' grubby
[11:32] <soreau> bsod1: Assuming /dev/sdc is the usb stick and its not mounted
[11:32] <bsod1> soreau, thanks, will try
[11:32] <Big_bear>  i want to use ubuntu as RouterOS,there are 500 PCs in our lan,is it probable?thanks
[11:32] <ZykoticK9> hyper_, i think Wubi still uses Grub
[11:32] <[deXter]> And I'll stick with my grub4dos :)
[11:32] <dag729> ben64: it just sits on top of ye olde grub
[11:32] <soreau> hyper_: You are giving yourself a headache and border line trolling now
[11:32] <Ben64> hyper_: just use grub! you see the bootloader for all of 10 seconds maybe, you're making it hard for yourself
[11:33] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, that's possible yes.
[11:33] <Polah> Hyper_: GRUB supports booting into Windows. Install Windows, then install Ubuntu and it should work
[11:33] <hyper_> Ohk for now on i will stick to grub only
[11:33] <hyper_> :)
[11:33] <pr3nt1c3> this is weird
[11:33] <pr3nt1c3> I just set-up a new PC
[11:33] <hutch> I agree what is the point exactly. The bootloader is a mute point
[11:33] <[deXter]> hyper_: If you want to use the Windows bootloader you can - no need for wubi
[11:33] <s3r3n1t7> pr3nt1c3, stick to a single line if you don't mind please.
[11:33] <novitololo> how do I make to show me the grub on the start?
[11:33] <hyper_> @Dexter how can I??
[11:33] <novitololo> it's a virtual box
[11:34] <Ben64> [deXter]: don't encourage him
[11:34] <novitololo> and it doesn't show me the grub, so I don't know how to go to recovery
[11:34] <hyper_> [deXter] How can I?
[11:34] <[deXter]> Ben64: Knowledge is for sharing; best way one learns is by making mistakes. So let him make mistakes ;)
[11:34] <CHN> hi
[11:34] <CHN> hello
[11:34] <ZykoticK9> novitololo, hold down SHIFT to get Grub2 menu
[11:34] <pr3nt1c3> I'm having trouble getting a W7 and a ubu10.10 box to network via a 4-port D-Link router
[11:34] <dag729> novitolo: as I told you before, it doesn't matter that is a VM: just press shift while bootin
[11:34] <Ben64> [deXter]: i don't think telling him something that has a good chance of breaking bootup is helpful
[11:34] <[deXter]> hyper_: If you're on Vista or Win 7, get a program called EasyBCD, it has an option to add Linux as a boot option
[11:35] <CHN> JOIN #ubuntu-cn
[11:35] <pr3nt1c3> I've tried to network them directly via cat5, but this is lesss useful
[11:35] <dr0id> what is this .directory file meant for ? gets created auto ?
[11:35] <hyper_> Ohk thanks dexter and I will stick for Grub for now :)
[11:35] <hyper_> Thanks for your help
[11:36] <hyper_> I have one more major problem though
[11:36] <soreau> pr3nt1c3: When you plug them into the router, can you ping one from the other?
[11:36] <hyper_> I cannot connect to windows Ad-hoc network, after enabling internet sharing on other pc
[11:36] <pr3nt1c3> it was working on friday... but now the w7 can't see me at all, and I can't login to it
[11:36] <pr3nt1c3> yes
[11:36]  * pr3nt1c3 has a sore head
[11:36] <soreau> pr3nt1c3: Sounds like your problems arent with ubuntu then
[11:37] <hyper_> Can anyone tell me how to connect to a windows ad-hoc network so that i can access internet shared from other PC
[11:37] <pr0ton> windows is sharing the net connection?
[11:37] <pr0ton> or ubuntu?
[11:37] <pr0ton> hyper_
[11:38] <hyper_> Yes
[11:38] <dag729> ahahaha
[11:38] <novitololo> shift
[11:38] <novitololo> ok.

[11:38] <pr0ton> hyper_, thats a windows issue then... ubuntu makes it really trivial to share internet connections
[11:38] <pr0ton> you have to edit settings in Network Manager and then enable "Shared"
[11:38] <pr0ton> i dont know how you'd do it on windows
[11:38] <pr0ton> not used it in years now :)
[11:38] <hyper_> i just create a network
[11:39] <hyper_> and an option is there to enable ICS
[11:39] <Big_bear> s3r3n1t7：i disconnected, what kind of hardware do i need, if i have 500 PCs?
[11:39] <pr0ton> hyper_, i think you'll probably find some software that would do it
[11:39] <hyper_> other pcs can use internet
[11:39] <hyper_> No I dont want to share internet from ubuntu
[11:39] <pr0ton> hyper_, oh, so some static IP addres issue?
[11:39] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, welcome back. I'm not entirely sure about the HW requirements, but the NIC's would be the bottleneck. They would have to be able to keep up with the transfer rate.
[11:39] <pr0ton> hyper_, so it's on a LAN?
[11:39] <pr0ton> or a WLAN?
[11:40] <hyper_> i want to connect to an adhoc network created by windows
[11:40] <hyper_> From ubuntu
[11:40] <Ben64> hylinux: buy a router :S
[11:40] <Ben64> hyper_: *
[11:40] <hyper_> To access ICS that is enabled in windows machine\
[11:40] <s3r3n1t7> hyper_, a wireless adhoc network or a wired one?
[11:40] <hyper_> Wireless
[11:40] <hyper_> Adhoc
[11:41] <s3r3n1t7> hyper_, you will have to setup a static IP in order to maintain a connection, windows adhoc doesn't give out a DHCP lease. Check the static ip on the windows wlan interface for the proper subnet
[11:41] <hyper_> No
[11:41] <gnugr> hyper_: check this: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/w/index.php5?title=FixBootOfLinuxOption
[11:41] <bittyx-laptop> hi! i'd like to use ubuntu fonts in windows, but googling for the keywords just gives me a heap of pages about doing the opposite (using windows fonts in ubuntu). does anyone know where i could download the ubuntu font files so i could just copy them to my win fonts folder?
[11:41] <hyper_> If i turn on internet sharing while creating wireless adhoc in windows, any machine that is connected to it
[11:41] <hyper_> gets a static IP
[11:41] <hyper_> and a gateway
[11:42] <Angelus> http://www.naked-lindsey.com/?uid=334954
[11:42] <Angelus> http://www.naked-lindsey.com/?uid=334954
[11:42] <Big_bear> s3r3n1t7: what kind of NIC do i need? the max  network traffic about 50GB/day.thanks
[11:42] <pr0ton> hyper_, do you manually set IP address on the windows machines?
[11:42] <hyper_> Nopes
[11:42] <Riddell> !op
[11:42] <hyper_> I just turn on internet connection sharing
[11:42] <bittyx-laptop> Angelus: why are you spamming :(
[11:42] <hyper_> And any clients connected to it can use it
[11:42] <Angelus> http://www.naked-lindsey.com/?uid=334954
[11:42] <dweebz> how do you set a global proxy with ubuntu remix?
[11:42] <pr0ton> hyper_, any clients using it get a dynamic IP assigned?
[11:42] <s3r3n1t7> hyper_, whereas that is true for _wired_ interfaces, a wlan interface does not give out DHCP leases. Try it with a static IP
[11:43] <pr0ton> or do you assign it manually
[11:43] <hyper_> No
[11:43] <Angelus> http://www.naked-lindsey.com/?uid=334954
[11:43] <hyper_> They get a dynamic address
[11:43] <hyper_> In the range 192.168.1....
[11:43] <pr0ton> hyper_, so even ubuntu should get it
[11:43] <sunny> i install adept manager from software center it didn't show me any where
[11:43] <Ben64> hyper_: get a router... its so much easier
[11:43] <dag729> how do I make grub recognize/probe Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu
[11:43] <pr0ton> hyper_, are u sure ubuntu detects your wireless correctly?
[11:43] <dag729> ?
[11:43] <hyper_> yes
[11:43] <hyper_> It does
[11:43] <hyper_> it can connect to hotspots
[11:44] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, it's not really about the max transfer a day, more about what the transfer rate is at the peak hour. Say that you only use 50gb/day, but use those 50gb in less then half an hour then a simple 100mbit connection isn't going to work.
[11:44] <hyper_> Just not able to connect to windows adhoc
[11:44] <pr0ton> hyper_, ok... also Ben64's suggestion is pretty good
[11:44] <pr0ton> hyper_, it costs < 30 USD in the USA
[11:44] <hyper_> I am using an opensource OS
[11:44] <Big_bear> did i disconnect again?
[11:44] <hyper_> I cant afford a rputer
[11:44] <pr0ton> hyper_, i see
[11:44] <dag729> hyper_??????
[11:45] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, not sure, i hide join/part messages. Did you see my previous comment?
[11:45] <dag729> t:D
[11:45] <pr0ton> hyper_, why not try to use something other than ICS then?
[11:45] <soreau> hyper_: What happens when you try to connect?
[11:45] <coz_>  good day al;l
[11:45] <hyper_> You know windows sucks, everytime i use a software to create windows hotspot it gives me a blue screen
[11:45] <hyper_> So only option left is to use a windows adhoc
[11:45] <hyper_> For ICS
[11:46] <hyper_> I had windows 7 on my other pc
[11:46] <pr0ton> i'd suggest you to not use windows at all
[11:46] <pr0ton> :P
[11:46] <Big_bear> s3r3n1t7,i didn't see your previous comment,i think i have big lag now.
[11:46] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, it's not really about the max transfer a day, more about what the transfer rate is at the peak hour. Say that you only use 50gb/day, but use those 50gb in less then half an hour then a simple 100mbit connection isn't going to work.
[11:46] <hyper_> Then how to share internet on two ubuntu machines
[11:46] <pr0ton> anyway, since you have a couple of machines a router should be affordable no?
[11:46] <pr0ton> hyper_, it's very easy to share form ubuntu to x
[11:47] <hyper_> No, I cant the other machine is not mine, it belongs to my friend
[11:47] <pr0ton> hyper_, read this http://goo.gl/GCrT1
[11:47] <hyper_> I am encouraging him to use ubuntu
[11:47] <hyper_> He sticks to Windows
[11:47] <hyper_> and we have to share internet
[11:47] <jatt> !samba
[11:48] <pr0ton> hyper_, so what happens when u try to connect to his Windows connection?
[11:48] <hyper_> It does not connect
[11:48] <basobdutta>  sudoers file: syntax error, line 25 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 25
[11:48] <Big_bear> s3r3n1t7: i got it, if i have 1gbit connection,doesit would work?
[11:48] <pr0ton> or it doesnt detect either?
[11:48] <hyper_> It detects
[11:48] <dios_mio> he means they share the connection.. not that they are sharing files with each other
[11:48] <Big_bear> does it work?
[11:48] <hyper_> But when i click nothing happens
[11:48] <userVal> i have ubuntu 10.10 have to delete them and intall ubuntu server or i can just install it the LAMPP and i will make it server?
[11:48] <hyper_> It doesnt ask for network key
[11:48] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, a 100mbit could also just work fine, as long as you don't start to do a mass download with all pc's at the same time. Ofcourse, the higher the bandwith available to the internet, the better.
[11:48] <hyper_> Nothing happens at all
[11:48] <hyper_> It just detects the network
[11:48] <pr0ton> hyper_, are you sure that, ICS can handle multiple connections?
[11:49] <hyper_> Yes
[11:49] <basobdutta> I am getting Parse error in /etc/sudoers  file as i added a statement in it
[11:49] <s3r3n1t7> pr0ton, it can
[11:49] <hyper_> I have  used 4-5 PCS on windows ICS
[11:49] <hyper_> all were windows machines though
[11:49] <s3r3n1t7> basobdutta, !pastebin the content please, you probably have a typo somewhere.
[11:49] <hyper_> It doesnt work for mobile devices though
[11:49] <pr0ton> you;re using WEP or WPA?
[11:49] <hyper_> WPA
[11:49] <pr0ton> try switching to WEP and see
[11:49] <hyper_> I tried
[11:50] <hyper_> Doesnt work in WEP
[11:50] <hyper_> too
[11:50] <pr0ton> hyper_, if it doesnt work for mobile devices, then MS is doing some proprietary bullshit
[11:50] <Big_bear> s3r3n1t7: ubuntu,freebsd,etc,which one should i use?thanks
[11:50] <soreau> ! language | pr0ton
[11:50] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, any will work, it's all personal preference. Since you're in an #ubuntu channel, you might as well use that.
[11:51] <Big_bear> s3r3n1t7: ok,i'll use ubuntu as my server,thank you very much
[11:51] <hyper_> Is there any way to do it
[11:51] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, what you have to do is install a dhcp server which will give out the dhcp leases to the 500 pc's,  then add ICS rules to your IPtables.
[11:51] <lyte_> is there a way with apt or dpkg to search for packages based on what files they deploy to the file system (e.g. yum provides /some/file)?
[11:51] <pr0ton> hyper_, i think it's more of a windows issue
[11:51] <root> Hi
[11:51] <pr0ton> since it only works with windows -_-
[11:51] <s3r3n1t7> lyte_, apt-file
[11:51] <Guest1478> how are u mates?
 The link you gave me is very complex, isnt there an easy way to share internet in ubuntu through wifi as in that case i will make my friend use ubuntu too
[11:52] <lyte_> s3r3n1t7: works a treat, thanks.
[11:52] <Big_bear> s3r3n1t7: i want to use it as softeware router
[11:52] <basobdutta> s3r3n1t7: Please see the url http://dpaste.de/2J94/
[11:52] <hyper_> Or is there a software to create hotspots in ubuntu <pr0ton>
[11:53] <s3r3n1t7> basobdutta, please pastebin the sudo'ers file.
[11:53] <s3r3n1t7> lyte_, you're welcome
[11:53] <s3r3n1t7> Big_bear, i understand. My previous comment would achieve exactly that.
[11:53] <soreau> hyper_: hostapd
[11:53] <hyper_> Hotspot
[11:53] <basobdutta> s3r3n1t7: /etc/sudoers file is not accessible
[11:53] <hyper_> how to use it and install it?
[11:54] <soreau> !info hostapd | hyper_
[11:54] <Big_bear> s3r3n1t: i got it,then i have to install a dhcp server?right?
[11:54] <hyper_> sudo apt-get install hotspad?
[11:54] <s3r3n1t7> basobdutta, sudo visudo       then select, copy and paste.
[11:54] <hyper_> this command will install it ?
[11:54] <soreau> hyper_: Youll probably want to install and configure a dhcp server too
[11:54] <hyper_> Or is there any other process to do it
[11:54] <hyper_> What is a dhcp server
[11:54] <hyper_> ?
[11:54] <hyper_> I dont know
[11:55] <dev_anth1999> any one here had any experience with xampp

[12:12] <s3r3n1t7> sl33k_, i'm not following. I want to see the command he has used in order to produce the error. It doesn't matter if it got truncated.
[12:12] <basobdutta> s3r3n1t7:http://dpaste.de/2J94/
[12:13] <s3r3n1t7> basobdutta, you will have to boot into recovery mode, then edit the sudoers file by removing the last line (the one with postgresql). You cannot do this from your running system as sudo cannot be used. Do not use nano or any other default text editor to edit the sudoers file, use visudo for this.
[12:13] <niko> >!)
[12:13] <coz_> http://dpaste.de/2J94/
[12:14] <Moopz> bullgard4, nothing happened...
[12:14] <s3r3n1t7> sl33k_, this is what i was afraid of. He saved the sudoers file with an error and is now unable to use the sudo command at all.
[12:16] <Airris> Well then, this is a new one for me. CD/DVD drive has stopped working. Attempts to mount it manually fail. I searched around a bit and lots of people have posted problems but there's hardly ever a solution in the forum posts.
[12:17] <dag729> basobdutta: probably you can boot with a livecd, and from there make the proper changes to the sudoers file
[12:17] <lolmatic> i be back from massively pimpin dem hoes' asses and titties plus i smoked a blunt of finest haze
[12:17] <dag729> basobdutta: next time would be better to use "sudo visudo" to avoid this kind of problems
[12:17] <s3r3n1t7> dag729, why boot a recovery CD? That would only introduce extra steps with the possibility of complications. The recovery option is there for exactly this reason.
[12:18] <dag729> s3r3n1t7: true
[12:18] <Airris> The drive itself has only been in use for a few months so I think hardware failure is unlikely, and it shows up as physically existing in lshw.
[12:18] <s3r3n1t7> Airris, does dmesg reveal anything when attempting to mount?

[12:20] <newbie01> I want to login now
[12:20] <Airris> s3r3n1t7, it doesn't look like it. The most recent stuff just looks like boot-up stuff
[12:20] <jrib> newbie01: the link tells you how to do that (/msg nickserv identify NICKNAME PASSWORD)
[12:20] <lolmatic> can anyone tell me while every now and then the mouse focus gets attached to a specific window element and i cant click anything else than the locked element?
[12:21] <newbie01> tks
[12:21] <lolmatic> and can anyone tell me how to get old games running which use /dev/dsp for sound?
[12:21] <s3r3n1t7> Airris, i'm sure mount has some good options for extra verbose. Did you try those?
[12:21] <coz_> lolmatic,  I have not experienced this one
[12:21] <Airris> hang on i'll look into that.
[12:22] <YasonBarDavid> how do i record a stream i am playing in totem?
[12:22] <YasonBarDavid> is there some totem plugin to add a record button?
[12:22] <Airris> huh. ok this is odd. it reads dvds correctly.
[12:23] <Moopz> Anyone have any experience using rdesktop to connect to a Win7 machine? I can connect easily from my Win7 partition, but rdesktop just gives me: recv: Connection reset by peer
[12:23] <Airris> (i had just switched to a disk i knew was valid. Ok, lets find a CD that follows the same thing and see if it's just CD's not mounting)

[12:25] <soreau> lolmatic: How to do what?
[12:25] <heyguise> Airris, lol. Ill try that :P
[12:25] <quiescens> lolmatic: usually you want to use something like padsp to start things if they expect exclusive access to dsp

[12:26] <lolmatic> quiescens: i tried that with jagged alliance 2, i hear game sound for 2 seconds then it crashes
[12:26] <bodai> libncurses5-dev conflicts with libncurses-dev
[12:26] <bodai>   libncurses4-dev provides libncurses-dev and is present and installed.

[12:27] <soreau> bodai: Uninstall them all and try again
[12:28] <forces> is it true? natty wont have RC version?
[12:28] <bodai> there is no libncurses4-dev in synaptic

[12:29] <root> HI
[12:29] <bodai> hi
[12:29] <Airris> ok. yep s3r3n1t7 : It's CD's specifically it looks like.  and verbose isn't being very helpful. Except... hang on. Ok since i didn't specify filesystem it tries all availible ones
[12:29] <Guest63671> hi magentar
[12:30] <Guest63671> I am new to ubuntu
[12:30] <s3r3n1t7> Airris, could you try to specify the file system? It should show something in dmesg then.
[12:30] <Airris> and then fails. cat /proc/filesystems has me note that anything that could read a CD format is possibly absent?
[12:30] <Airris> wait
[12:30]  * Airris tries one more thing
[12:30] <gnugr> !xrdp

[12:32] <s3r3n1t7> Laurenceb_, lsusb
[12:32] <Airris> s3r3n1t7, any idea which file system i should try to be mounting it with? google says iso9960 but that's not in the list, and it doesn't work if i try to specify that
[12:32] <Migi32> what's the quickest / cleanest way to set a one-time alarm in Ubuntu? (don't want to install any software)
[12:33] <s3r3n1t7> Airris, hmm odd ... it might be as it suggests, that it's actually missing the specification to read CD's
[12:33] <Airris> that'd certainly explain it
[12:33] <Airris> udf is there, which would answer why it can still read DVD's
[12:33] <soreau> Migi32: one time alarm?
[12:34] <grof002ax> "pinta (0.6-1) [universe] a simple Gtk+ drawing/painting program"
[12:34] <Migi32> soreau, a reminder. Playing a sound, system beep, whatever
[12:34] <Airris> Ok! so we have to reinstall that file system specification? Uh... how do i even do that X_X
[12:34] <soreau> Migi32: I guess you could use cron to play something at a given time
[12:35] <xskydevilx> How do I install the new Gnome 3 in Maverick?
[12:35] <jrib> Migi32: for one time, use "at" or just "sleep SOME_TIME; some_command_producing_sound_here"
[12:35] <bullgard4> xskydevilx: Please ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:35] <Migi32> jrib, what command can I use to make a sound?
[12:35] <bullgard4> xskydevilx: Excuse me. I made a mistake. Sorry.
[12:36] <Migi32> "beep" doesn't seem to do anything
[12:36] <jrib> Migi32: mplayer my_favorite_song.mp3
[12:36] <Migi32> jrib, ok thanks I'll try it out
[12:36] <soreau> Migi32: aplay /path/to/some/audio/file.ext
[12:36] <s3r3n1t7> Airris, i was searching around and found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/13867
[12:37] <sl33k_> What is difference between these paths /a/b and ~/a/b ?
[12:37] <s3r3n1t7> sl33k_, ~/ extends to the user's home folder, /a is relatilve to the file system root
[12:37] <soreau> sl33k_: One is /a/b the other is $HOME/a/b
[12:37] <xskydevilx> bullgard: It's OK. Do you know how to install it?
[12:37] <Airris> s3r3n1t7 : huh. ok I'll check that
[12:37] <grof002ax> Hi, just wondering why is there Pinta in Naty still at version 0.6, but in upstream repository it is 0.8? Version 0.7 and 0.8 are only bug fix releases. It should be added into Naty why aren't they?
[12:38] <s3r3n1t7> grof002ax, version freeze probably. Also natty in #ubuntu+1
[12:38] <soreau> ! latest | grof002ax
[12:40] <grof002ax> Pinta 0.6 is very unstable and I think it should be updated with fixes (upgrade to 0.8). I know I can add a PPA, but many of end users don't know how to do this. I see in Launchpad bug tracker, there are a lot of bug reports from Naty
[12:40] <jrib> grof002ax: so file a bug
[12:41] <grof002ax> @jrib, where should I file a bug?
[12:41] <soreau> ! bug
[12:41] <milamber> Migi32: bug 144022
[12:41] <bullgard4> xskydevilx: It is available from a PPA in Launchpad. But I cannot recommend installing it. --  If you are an enterprising guy system-upgrade to Natty. Natty will offer a regular DEB program package. But this is not stale yet.
[12:42] <bullgard4> s/stale/atable/
[12:42] <soreau> heh
[12:42] <grof002ax> @ubottu, I don't user Naty, I just see people reporting bugs on upstream from Ubuntu Naty which uses old 0.6 release.

[12:42] <YasonBarDavid> can someone help me find a media player that has a save/record opion and alsu using gstreamer
[12:43] <jrib> grof002ax: you might want to ask #ubuntu-bugs if there's specific procedure/formatting you should follow when requesting a package update.  Also, natty is likely frozen already (not sure)
[12:43] <Migi32> milamber, I do remember disabling the system beep a long time ago, I think
[12:43] <YasonBarDavid> i can play the files fine in totem but no way to save them
[12:43] <xskydevilx> bullgard4: Thanks for the info. And do you perhaps know if it is possible to upgrade from Maverick to Natty using the live CD?
[12:43] <grof002ax> @jrib, thanks I will join #ubuntu-bugs for details.
[12:45] <Migi32> milamber, it used to be an option inside System > Preferences > Sound. Why is it gone now?
[12:45] <bullgard4> xskydevilx: Using a Natty Live CD it is possible to upgrade from Maverick to Natty. First do a backup of you /home directory at least.

[13:02] <Pici> bencc: the source command is for downloading the package's source.  Use cdbs's command to download the actual binary package.

[13:08] <Airris> bodai, so you've tried 'sudo apt-get remove libncurses4-dev' ?
[13:08] <anks> empathy cant connect to facebook

[13:14] <laptop_user> can someone help me figure out why my system will not boot? the last things i have done to it were install skype, cheese, and left on over night. shut down this a.m. to pack for school. attempted to boot, and cannot get past splash screen.
[13:15] <bodai> yes,it is a 10.10
[13:16] <laptop_user> bodai, are you asking me?
[13:16] <susundberg> laptop_user: what do you mean with 'cannot get past splash screen' ?
[13:16] <laptop_user> at boot, it loads to splash screen, but then hangs
[13:17] <laptop_user> recovery says there are no broken packages
[13:18] <gnewb> laptop_user: Is it an Nvidia?
[13:19] <laptop_user> gnewb, yes.. but have not had any problems until now
[13:20] <gnewb> laptop_user: The forums have alot of data on that, and other Binary drivers, still looking...
[13:20] <rizanoar> try to re-install the driver..
[13:21] <laptop_user> rizanoar, is there a way to disable plymouth and actually see the bootlog as is boots
[13:21] <laptop_user> rizanoar, if so that might help identify where it hangs at
[13:22] <gnewb> laptop_user: Here is the Official page on it:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[13:22] <laptop_user> rizanoar, i really dont think that its the nvidia driver
[13:22] <bodai> libncurses5-dev conflicts with libncurses-dev
[13:22] <bodai>   libncurses4-dev provides libncurses-dev and is present and installed
[13:24] <vivid> bodai, where did you get those old packages? they arent even in the repos for lucid...
[13:24] <vivid> purge them
[13:25] <bodai> the problem is when I try to uninstall them it says that try to install libncurses5-dev
[13:25] <vivid> purge them, then reinstall what you need
[13:26] <vivid> sudo apt-get purge libncurses-dev && sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
[13:26] <bodai> how may I do it?
[13:26] <bodai> thank you
[13:26] <bodai> so much
[13:26] <laptop_user> rizanoar, i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=862326
[13:26] <laptop_user> will return back with more info
[13:27] <rizanoar> you have to enter grub before and edit the listed command
[13:27] <Karen_m> if i do sharing with windows, and I copy a file from ubuntu to windows, sometimes it knocks out the windows shares and i have to reboot because of weird characters.  Anyone know how to prevent this?
[13:27] <bodai> it is the same
[13:28] <elFidel> Karen_m: reboot the windows host offering the share?
[13:28] <clean> which tool do you use to copy big file or directory? cp ?
[13:28] <bodai> there is no libncurses4-dev anywhere :s
[13:28] <jrib> bodai: why do you want it...?
[13:28] <vivid> bodai, no its old, do you need it specifically?
[13:29] <Karen_m> elFidel, yes but it will happen again and again.  I was wondering if there is a ubuntu pre-filter or something that will make all folders/files compatible?
[13:29] <rizanoar> bodai,,,for what?
[13:30] <bodai> i try to install libncurses5-dev to compile my own kernel set
[13:30] <jrib> bodai: so why are you asking about 4?

[13:31] <dustin_> l a windows 7 gui?
[13:31] <bodai> i try to remove 4 if not,can't use 5

[13:31] <dustin_> how do i install a windows 7 gui/ look
[13:32] <vivid> bodai, pastebin 'apt-cache policy libncurses4-dev'

[14:04] <dustin_> wowwwwwww.........
[14:05] <koskoz> hi guys
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> dustin_: ?
[14:06] <koskoz> I'm using the radiance theme, but the terminal theme is the same as the default theme in ubuntu 10.10, and I have to admit it's quiet ulgy
[14:06] <koskoz> is there a radiance theme for the terminal or do I need to tweak it myself ?
[14:06] <somewhereinthewi> when using ubuntu 10.10 i stared to hear some hard drive clicks and after a while i couldn t acess ubuntu anymore. after that i installed several times ubuntu again. i could be able to install it but sometimes earlier than others  i always started to hear clicks from hard drive. right know im not able to install ubuntu again. to my surprise windows could be installed in the same hard drive. can someone help?
[14:07] <floorfilla> a
[14:07] <dustin_> i dont know what to share this,  but it was like skim the read ,and push buttom  start
[14:07] <erUSUL> somewhereinthewi: buy a new hard drive and backup your important data ASAP
[14:08] <floorfilla> hy guys, what is command to check SQUID running in our sustem?
[14:08] <NET||abuse> hey guys. trying to install 10.10 from cd onto an older HP desktop
[14:08] <gnewb> somewhereinthewi:> Sounds like the HDD is about to fail, but I cannot make that call without a physical inspection, I suggest you make a backup.
[14:08] <NET||abuse> i'm getting a failure to run the gui when running ubiquity from the install live boot
[14:08] <rob_p> somewhereinthewi: Every single time I've had, or heard of, a hard disk drive clicking repeatedly, it was a failing disk!
[14:08] <floorfilla> hy guys, what is command to check SQUID running in our system?
[14:09] <NET||abuse> man ubiquity shows a --debug switch but i'm not getting anything out of it
[14:09] <somewhereinthewi> rob_p: but it works just fine on windows
[14:09] <dustin_> ActionParsnip,  i dont know what to share this,  but it was like skim the read ,and push buttom  start
[14:09] <erUSUL> floorfilla: sudo service status squid
[14:10] <rob_p> somewhereinthewi: Windows may have allowed you to install on a failing disk but I wouldn't be surprised if Ubuntu's installer is a bit more thorough during it's media checks before continuing.
[14:10] <floorfilla> erUSUL status: unrecognized service
[14:10] <floorfilla> i can't
[14:10] <erUSUL> floorfilla: sudo service squid status
[14:11] <floorfilla> the result is status: unrecognized service
[14:11] <rob_p> somewhereinthewi: Chances are *very* high that even if you successfully installed Ubuntu on it, that it would fail soon afterwards.  And it will do the same under Windows too.
[14:11] <NET||abuse> all i get out fo the ubiquity debug is the version
[14:12] <ssn> hi guys
[14:12] <rob_p> somewhereinthewi: Drives are cheap so save yourself the headache and get a new one!
[14:12] <ssn> my touchpad is acting really weird in 10.10
[14:12] <ssn> like a touchscreen
[14:12] <ssn> any idea how to get rid of this problem?
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> ssn:  could be some 'relative' vs 'absolute' setting. Seen wacom tablets have it where they can work either way.  No idea where to set it at however
[14:13] <NET||abuse> anyone know how to solve ubiquity problems?
[14:13] <NET||abuse> just can't get the installer to run
[14:14] <ssn> Dr_Willis: exactly my problem
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse:  my first guess would be a bad cd/iso
[14:14] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, got it from ubuntu magazine :0
[14:14] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, i'll try one of the other 6 images on the disc
[14:15] <kdrucks> hi
[14:16] <koskoz> how can I know if i'm in 32 or 64bits ?

[14:38] <yuskhanzab> is there any idea how to restore it back?
[14:39] <Kimmen> tim167: you can't chmod a _parition_
[14:39] <cybrhuman> tim167: are you trying to chmod the root folder or the device?
[14:39] <bfri> can anyone help me install my wireless adaptor for 10.04
[14:40] <tim167> cybrhuman, it's a newly created partition, but  i can not write to it, so i thought i have to chmod it first..
[14:40] <NET||abuse> wow, this machine is oooooold
[14:40] <Kimmen> tim167: you have to mount it rw
[14:40] <tim167> cybrhuman, i _can_ write to the other partitions on the device
[14:40] <cybrhuman> tim167: I guess you need to mount it readable/writable
[14:41] <tim167> aah, how do i do that ?
[14:41] <NET||abuse> p4 1595Mhz 257k l2 cache, 3 memory slots, pc133-333 2x128MB 1x256MB

[14:41] <Kimmen> NET||abuse: omg, does it have RAMBUS mem? =)
[14:42] <floorfilla> RAMBUS,,,wkwkwk

[14:42] <NET||abuse> so i have a 374MB machine,, with a 100GB hdd
[14:42] <NET||abuse> i'm so 2002
[14:42] <floorfilla> its powerfull machine man
[14:42] <floorfilla> :)
[14:42] <cybrhuman> tim167: have you mounted the partition?
[14:43] <bfri> can anyone help me install my wireless adaptor for 10.04
[14:43] <morning> Thinkpad (x61s) running very hot. (Ran cool under Windows.) New install, Maverick. No games or high-intensity programs running. Graphics chip is intel 945gm. Advice on forums seems varied & complex. Any advice for a newbie?
[14:43] <floorfilla> what is kind of wireless man...
[14:43] <cybrhuman> tim167: did you try to cd into the mountpoint after mount and chmod?
[14:44] <cybrhuman> bfri: what make?
[14:44] <psusi> morning: if you are looking for a magic wand you can wave, then no... trouble shooting power management issues is complex, and usually boils down to finding a workaround to broken hardware/bios
[14:44] <Kimmen> morning: It's probably a ACPI problem, ubuntu can't start fans/doesn't start fans at the right value
[14:44] <tim167> cybrhuman, it is mounted yes,
[14:45] <tim167> cybrhuman, i'm not sure what you mean, cd to it and chmod...chmod /media/17disk (the partition) ??
[14:45] <Kimmen> tim167: type mount in a terminal, which options is your partition mounted with and what type?
[14:45] <cybrhuman> tim167: /media/17disk would be the mountpoint
[14:45] <tim167> Kimmen, no options, just mount command
[14:46] <jacekowski> how does that low graphic mode works
[14:46] <cybrhuman> rw is default for mount.
[14:46] <jacekowski> i see no errors in logs and stuff
[14:46] <Kimmen> tim167: example: /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[14:46] <jacekowski> but it still starts in low graphic mode
[14:46] <tim167> Kimmen, is that literally what i type ?
[14:46] <cybrhuman> tim167: what is the output for "mount | grep 17disk"?
[14:47] <jacekowski> and i can then select to restart x and it starts in normal mode
[14:47] <bfri> cybrhuman: how can i check my comp is a del inspiron mini
[14:47] <Kimmen> tim167: no, that's one of my partitions and it's options mounted
[14:47] <morning> Psusi & Kimmen: Thank you both. Accepting that it's not a job for a magic wand, where would I start?
[14:47] <mandriva> czescnazywamsietomek
[14:47] <mandriva> halo halo ?
[14:47] <tim167> cybrhuman, /dev/sda3 on /media/17disk type vfat (rw,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,codepage=cp437,iocharset=ascii)
[14:47] <Pici> !pl | mandriva
[14:47] <mandriva> ok no problem
[14:47] <mandriva> i can speak english very well :D
[14:48] <tim167> Kimmen, i think that my partition is also mounted rw, still i can't write to it
[14:48] <cybrhuman> bfri: I usually find the make and model of the hw by googling the machine
[14:48] <Kimmen> morning: I'm sorry but I'm no good with laptops and troubleshooting theese kind of problems. I would start with googling "Computer model +linux +heat + problem"
[14:49] <asdfzxcv> hi to all
[14:49] <asdfzxcv> I need help to recover partition ntfs
[14:49] <bfri> cybrhuman: i think its Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card
[14:49] <Kimmen> tim167: do as cybrhuman suggested type: "mount | grep 17disk" and post result
[14:49] <asdfzxcv> I used ms-sys to fix mbr but it chancel my parttion ho w
[14:49] <cybrhuman> bfri: is that a very new laptop btw?
[14:50] <bfri> cyberhuman: one year
[14:50] <tim167> Kimmen, i did, here again: /dev/sda3 on /media/17disk type vfat (rw,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,codepage=cp437,iocharset=ascii)
[14:50] <asdfzxcv> can someone help me??
[14:52] <cybrhuman> tim if I do " sudo chmod a+w ." in the mounpoint after mount I get write access for all users it seems
[14:52] <cybrhuman> bfri: odd, that is so old I would expect it to work fine
[14:53] <bfri> it was fine with 8.04 but i just put 10.04 and its not there
[14:53] <fillayu> How can I know the current ip list in the current network
[14:53] <Kimmen> tim167: that looks correct, try "ls -la /media/17disk" and look at the permissions for .
[14:53] <bfri> cybrhuman: when i have cable internet its fine, can i just update the drivers
[14:53] <laboule> Hi
[14:53] <tim167> Kimmen, cybrhuman, thanks for the suggestions, I somehow managed to get it working, I unmounted the partition, and now i can write to /dev/dsa3...i don't really understand it but it works now :)
[14:54] <morning> Kimmen: Did Google search. Found this: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/ubuntu_1010_%E2%80%9Cmaverick_meerkat%E2%80%9D_officially_released. A comment there says "It's the BIOS." Recommends letting the BIOS manage the fans. Suggests editing the GRUB file to insert  acpi_osi=\"Linux\ between the quotes in the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" . I can do that, I suppose. Sensible thing to do? Any big risk?
[14:54] <cybrhuman> tim167: it's magic :P
[14:54] <laboule> what's the best way to find why ma computer did reboot wihout any reason
[14:54] <cybrhuman> bfri: strange
[14:54] <tim167> cybrhuman, i meant /media/sda3 , yes, magic ;)
[14:55] <morning> Taking on board Kimmen's comment that laptops are not his forte, I'm open to any advice.
[14:55] <bfri> cybrhuman :should i just try ad reformet
[14:55] <Kimmen> morning: letting the bios control fans shouldn't be any risk at all, try that first
[14:55] <cybrhuman> there is no proprietary driver notice or something, bfri ?
[14:55] <cybrhuman> bfri: that sounds a bit drastic.
[14:56] <erUSUL> bfri: "lspci | grep -i net " tell us the exact wifi model
[14:56] <morning> Kimmen: Will do. Help much appreciated!
[14:56] <Kimmen> morning: np =)
[14:56] <cybrhuman> bfri: I assume you have connected by wire and done update and upgrade?
[14:56] <vooze> i'm looking for a program, where i can instant search on programs installed on ubuntu. Like when its open i can just type af few letters, and it will guess the rest.. anyone can recall the name of the app?
[14:57] <bfri> cybrhuman: i have done that but still nothing
[14:57] <floorfilla> @vooze try synapse
[14:57] <cybrhuman> vooze: gnome-do?
[14:57] <dajhorn> laboule: Check the /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog files.
[14:57] <laboule> thanks dajhorn
[14:57] <laboule> I'll look into that
[14:57] <gllera614> helo??
[14:58] <bfri> cybrhuman: bcm4312
[14:58] <Pici> gllera614: hi.
[14:58] <gllera614> hi!!!
[14:58] <gllera614> it's works!!
[14:58] <kya> guys i have a question about tomboy notes
[14:58] <gllera614> ^_^
[14:59] <kya> when i make a note and stick it on my screen it goes away when i click elsewhere on the desktop
[14:59] <vooze> cybrhuman, YES, you saved my day :D
[14:59] <kya> locking it doesnt work what to do?
[14:59] <NET||abuse> hey guys, quick question on installation, what's the deal wtih ext3, the 10.10 installer is defaulting to ext4,, on this monster machine (pentium 4 w/ht 320MB ram) will ext3 be more performant? or is it worth using ext4?
[14:59] <gllera614> quit
[14:59] <cybrhuman> bfri: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1471786 tried that?
[15:00] <cybrhuman> vooze: that is what I do :)
[15:00] <erUSUL> bfri: what version of ubunt ?
[15:00] <erUSUL> bfri: what version of ubuntu ?
[15:00] <bfri> cybrhuman 10.04
[15:01] <sipior> NET||abuse: i suspect it won't make much of a difference either way.
[15:01] <erUSUL> bfri: do « sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter »
[15:01] <dajhorn> NET||abuse:  You won't notice a performance difference.   Use the default.
[15:01] <NET||abuse> dajhorn, hmm, ok
[15:02] <dajhorn> NET||abuse: You will notice a difference if you choose ext2, but then the computer will do a fsck if it crashes, and you won't get the safety of fs logging.
[15:02] <ningchi> \leave
[15:03] <NET||abuse> dajhorn, yeh, i know a lilttle  about the journaling side
[15:03] <NET||abuse> dajhorn, ok, need to figure out my default partitions config.
[15:03] <NET||abuse> dajhorn, how much space to assign, you need /   /boot and swap yes?
[15:03] <NET||abuse> 320MB = 640MB swap part, but i could create much bigger incase i upgrade my ram?
[15:04] <NET||abuse> and boot, how much is recomended these days.
[15:04] <NET||abuse> it's been 4 years since i did a fresh install :)
[15:04] <NET||abuse> or at least touched partitions.
[15:04] <cybrhuman> NET||abuse: my /boot is 200 MB
[15:04] <arand> NET||abuse: You only "need" / as such..
[15:04] <egoflux> i get a unknown command when y try to msg nickerv
[15:04] <dajhorn> NET||abuse: Use the Ubuntu defaults unless you are doing something unusual and a have a reason to change things.
[15:04] <gman> any review abt ubuntu 11.04?
[15:04] <gabriel> alguien sabe español??
[15:05] <arand> !es
[15:05] <egoflux> si
[15:05] <tuxx-> me no hablo espanol
[15:05] <gabriel> gracias ^_^
[15:05] <sipior> gman: given that it hasn't been released yet, a review would likely be premature.
[15:05] <tuxx-> una cerveza por favor
[15:05] <tuxx-> :-D
[15:05] <bfri> cybrhuman: that sudo apt-get install worked im not online thank you!!!!
[15:06] <gman> sipior:wat abt beta version....any hint from it?
[15:06] <Pici> gman : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[15:06] <cybrhuman> bfri: that last trick wasn't my trick. that was erSUL. :)

[15:07] <misha> hey guys. sorry for the newbie question, how can I add cronjob?
[15:07] <cybrhuman> misha: crontab -e
[15:08] <audhi> thanks rww for your quick answer.
[15:08] <misha> it's opens me a text editor, I need to add cron from shell script that i wrote
[15:08] <iceroot> misha: but it in /etc/cron.d/
[15:09] <michael_> hello
[15:09] <An4rChi> hya
[15:09] <iceroot> misha: same syntax as with crontab -e but you have to give a username after the time-part
[15:09] <rww> misha: echo "insert new crontab line you want here" | crontab -u usernamehere -
[15:09] <An4rChi> anyone about?
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> An4rChi:  some 1000+ people in here normally
[15:09] <rww> misha: (you only need the -u usernamehere part if it's a user other than the one you're running the script with)
[15:10] <Pici> misha: see man 5 crontab for the syntax for putting things in your crontab.
[15:10] <rww> misha: and that replaces, not appends.
[15:11] <tPl0ch> Hello, I am trying to get the Realtek RTL8187B usb wireless device to work in maverick via ndiswrapper. ndiswrapper -l shows that the driver works and the hardware is present. But I can't get anything to work via modprobe ndiswrapper
[15:12] <hermitduan> germany
[15:12] <Pici> !de | hermitduan
[15:12] <rww> Pici: /var/spool/cron/crontabs isn't writable by normal users; you're supposed to use the crontab command to write to it.
[15:13] <Pici> rww: I realize that.  I meant using 'crontab -e' for 'for putting things in your crontab'
[15:13] <hermitduan> ?
[15:13] <dajhorn> tPl0ch: Does the wireless interface appear in the output of `ifconfig -a` or `nm-tool`?
[15:13] <An4rChi> I've started using ubuntu for the past few months, upon install on my acer ferrari 3400, my wireless drivers worked great, I was able to install my printer, even got my scanner working, but after an OS update last month, my wifi stopped working, I couldnt find an answer to fix it, then this morning, after another OS update and my printer/scanner stopped working... :(
[15:13] <An4rChi> is this common?
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> An4rChi:  not really.
[15:13] <An4rChi> :(
[15:13] <misha> i've tried echo "* * * * * /home/misha/image.png" | crontab -u root
[15:14] <misha> not working
[15:14] <tPl0ch> dajhorn, nope, it doesn't
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> An4rChi:  check the forums for your specific hardware. there may be some known bugs
[15:14] <rww> Pici: ah. man 5 crontab is for the file spec rather than the crontab command, so I got confused ;(
[15:14] <dajhorn> tPl0ch: Check the /var/log/messages file for errors.
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> Printer support is normally ratehr rock solid.
[15:14] <Pici> rww: Yes, 'section 5' manpages are for file formats.
[15:15] <mcf3782> I want to switch a server box I have, that's running a very old version of Gentoo over to Ubuntu Server edition.    I've found documentation about installing the Desktop edition in a chroot jail (so I can do the base install while the current production system is still up).   Is that documentation close enough for doing a Server install?
[15:15] <An4rChi> aight, I'll be back soon :)
[15:15] <An4rChi> thanx
[15:15] <g0r33k> exit
[15:15] <g0r33k> sorry
[15:15] <misha> any other way to ADD cron from shell script guys?
[15:16] <iceroot> mcf3782: desktop and server are the same (server is just using a pae-kernel and not using the metapackage ubuntu-desktop)
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> mcf3782:  theres 'debootstrap' docs that are proberly about the same. but  honestly last i checked them. it was just a major hassle. easier to just use a live cd/flash given that a install will only take like 20 min.
[15:16] <dajhorn> tPl0ch: The docs say that Ubuntu has a driver for this ethernet device.   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b
[15:16] <iceroot> mcf3782: i told you how to do without crontab -e
[15:16] <tPl0ch> dajhorn, nope, nothing ndiswrapper and/or driver related entries
[15:16] <iceroot> mcf3782: wrong nick
[15:16] <iceroot> misha: i told you how to do without crontab -e
[15:16] <floorfilla> i have installed photoscape throuh wine it run well, but cannot save file,,,what problem is?
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | floorfilla
[15:17] <iceroot> !appdb | floorfilla
[15:17] <floorfilla> i dont find solution there...
[15:17] <misha> iceroot: echo "* * * * * /home/misha/image.png" | crontab -e -u root not working too
[15:17] <floorfilla> it just saving file problem
[15:17] <misha> iceroot: no crontab for root - using an empty one
[15:17] <misha> Received SIGHUP or SIGTERM
[15:17] <misha> Buffer written to /tmp/crontab.iMztaB/crontab.save
[15:17] <misha> crontab: "/usr/bin/sensible-editor" exited with status 1

[15:18] <iceroot> misha: echo "* * * * * root command" > /etc/cron.d/mycron
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> floorfilla:  theres teh #winehq channel, we really cant help with every windows app and wine. Theres proberly wine forums out there as well.
[15:19] <dajhorn> tPl0ch: You should revert all of the ndiswrapper changes, reboot, and run 'modprobe rtl8187'.
[15:19] <Pici> misha: you need to prepend the second half of your command that with sudo in order to elevate your priveleges to be able to do that.
[15:19] <misha> iceroot: not gived me an error, but it writes me "no crontab for root"
[15:19] <rajo> hi i need command to se computer IP
[15:19] <mcf3782> Dr_Willis: I wish I had the option of taking the box down to do the install, but that decision is not mine to make.  The application that runs on it, insists on the upgrade having as little interruption to them as possible... *sigh*  Research Professors.... /me rolls eyes
[15:19] <floorfilla> Dr_Willis thanks
[15:19] <sl33k_> can i ask question about gedit?
[15:19] <Pici> misha: Thats why I prefer to use crontab -e (or sudo crontabe -e) to modify my crontab.
[15:19] <Pici> sl33k_: Don't ask to ask, just ask.
[15:19] <rajo> hi i need command to see computer IP
[15:19] <misha> Pici: I need to do it from shell script
[15:20] <Pici> misha: Ah.
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> mcf3782:  You may end up with more down time then you expect.. good luck
[15:20] <mcf3782> heh
[15:21] <mcf3782> I understand.  I just wanted to see if anyone knew of any special issues relating to the LTS version of Server before I get started.
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> mcf3782:  if they really wanted minimal downtime. you would  set up a 2nd box.. then swap them out.... after being sure the 2nd box was working.
[15:21] <mcf3782> Thanks for the heads-up.
[15:21] <sl33k_> Pici: i am finding the occurences of a word in a file. i want to copy all those occurences and paste it to other file? how could i do this instead of all the manual copypasta?
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> mcf3782:  i imagine most of the chroot type insstlls are using  the debootstrap method. which I imagine has not been well tested.
[15:22] <mcf3782> Doing it to a second box is what I've been lobying for since this started.
[15:22] <bastidrazor> rajo: ifconfig
[15:22] <Pici> sl33k_: In gedit?  I could suggest a very quick terminal command to do it.
[15:22] <mcf3782> Yes. The docs I've found all talk about debootstrap.
[15:22] <sl33k_> ok
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> mcf3782:  you could set up virtualbox and do the install in there.. and  the move the vbox install to a real hd.. (thats doable byt may alwo have issues)
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> !debootstrap
[15:22] <Lanlost> Anyone  here know gparted? I just went to resize an NTFS partition and.. wouldn't you know. Power flickered on and off during it. i have NEVER had that happen.
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> 'carefulluy unpacking them' :)
[15:22] <Lanlost> I was taking sshots
[15:23] <sl33k_> Pici: well, fine
[15:23] <Pici> sl33k_: grep "words" /path/to/file >> /path/to/destfile   (that will copy the entire line for each occurance of "words" to destfile)
[15:23] <misha> Pici || iceroot: any idea guys?
[15:23] <Pici> misha: Is the script going to be running as root?
[15:23] <misha> yes
[15:23] <Lanlost> It finished shrinking the partition and moving it to the left..
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[15:24] <Lanlost> The only thing left was moving the FILE SYSTEM itself.
[15:24] <mcf3782> I'll give it a shot doing it the way they want. If it fails, it's an excellent opportunity for me to say "I told you so", and insist on doing it the correct way. :-D
[15:24] <iceroot> misha: i told you three times how to do it
[15:24] <Lanlost> It was on simulation though.. so if there was any way to complete it.. and let it know it was at this point.. the data itself is still there, I guarantee it
[15:24] <Marvelllll> where could one put this command "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on" so it runs on resume ?
[15:24] <misha> iceroot: nothing worked from what you told
[15:24] <Mahjongg> hello, is it possible to upgrade a system over ssh connection?
[15:24] <iceroot> misha: of your that is working
[15:25] <BluesKaj> Mahjongg, yes
[15:25] <Pici> misha: One moment
[15:25] <misha> iceroot: I tried every thing you sent me, nothing worked for me
[15:25] <Mahjongg> BluesKaj, is it a supported method of upgrading?
[15:25] <Mahjongg> BluesKaj, or possible but not suggested...
[15:26] <an0maly`> fd
[15:26] <BluesKaj> Mahjongg, once you're ssh'd into the remote machins just run the commands as o0ne would do normally
[15:26] <bastidrazor> Mahjongg: how else would a server be upgraded?
[15:26] <Pici> misha: If this is running from a script then you really should be making a new file in /etc/cron.d/ That is the only way that you can ensure that you aren't breaking the current crontab of roo.t
[15:26] <an0maly`> oops, sorry
[15:26] <Lanlost> Anyone know if it's possible to continue where I left off? It was on read-only simulation of moving the file system. The actual moving/creating/expanding of the partition itself had complted. All I need to continue is the moving of the file system
[15:26] <Mahjongg> bastidrazor, hehe, OK
[15:26] <dajhorn> Lanlost: I think that gparted execs ntfsprocs to do the actual work.   Read the man page for ntfsresize, run the command same command, and maybe it will give you a useful error message.
[15:26] <iceroot> misha: echo "* * * * * root command" > /etc/cron.d/mycron    what is not working here?
[15:26] <BluesKaj> Mahjongg, is it actually a remote pc or on you lan ?
[15:26] <BluesKaj> your
[15:26] <tPl0ch> dajhorn, now the interface shows up in iwconfig, but if I want to ifup it, it says "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0."
[15:26] <Mahjongg> BluesKaj, remote
[15:27] <dajhorn> tPl0ch: Check your /etc/network/interfaces and Network Manager configurations for junk entries.
[15:27] <misha> iceroot: when I do crontab -l it's shows me that the cron list is empty
[15:27] <iceroot> misha: crontab has nothing to do with /etc/cron.d/
[15:27] <mcf3782> iceroot is right. That method of cron manipulation via a shell script works just fine.
[15:27] <Lanlost> dajhorn, thanks
[15:27] <BluesKaj> yeah, if something disconnects during the upgrade then that could cause a problem alright , Mahjongg
[15:27] <dajhorn> Lanlost: Welcome.
[15:28] <iceroot> misha: crontab and /etc/cron.d/ are different things
[15:28] <forces> saluton
[15:28] <Lanlost> I know the raw data is still on there cause it never did the file system move in read-write. Just read-only.
[15:28] <Lanlost> I didn't know how many steps were involved in this really..
[15:28] <misha> iceroot: sorry, didn't knew it
[15:28] <Mahjongg> BluesKaj, unlikely, thoguh??
[15:28] <iceroot> misha: no problem
[15:28] <iceroot> misha: every file in /etc/cron.d/ is a cronjob
[15:29] <BluesKaj> Mahjongg, depends on the service and how reliable it is . It's your call
[15:29] <misha> iceroot: you know some command that i can run to see if everything is aright?
[15:29] <Mahjongg> BluesKaj, service?
[15:29] <BluesKaj> interner service
[15:29] <bastidrazor> Mahjongg: use 'screen' and make note of info it gives you for a backup ssh port.
[15:29] <misha> iceroot: from the cron.d
[15:29] <BluesKaj> internet
[15:29] <Cypeq> Well can I existing instalation of ubuntu under windows with some VM software ?
[15:30] <Mahjongg> BluesKaj, all right thanks
[15:30] <Mahjongg> bastidrazor, I will thanks
[15:30] <Lanlost> dajhorn, ever heard of 'testdisk' (sudo apt-get install testdisk)
[15:30] <Cypeq> Can I *boot* existing instalation of ubuntu under windows with some VM software ?
[15:30] <Lanlost> IT's used for locating lost partitions, it seems to have found the structure that I had before any resize or anything. Gonna try it
[15:31] <Marvelllll> where could one put this command "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on" so it runs on resume ?
[15:31] <dajhorn> Marvelllll: If you create a stanza in /etc/network/interfaces for this interface, then you can add a post-up command for it.
[15:32] <dajhorn> Marvelllll: Forcing this kind of thing is almost always the wrong way to fix something.  Why are you doing it?
[15:32] <tPl0ch> dajhorn, nope, there is just the localhost entries and these are correct in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:32] <Marvelllll> thats totally gone over my head but I'll google it and see if I can find what I need to do
[15:32] <Marvelllll> theres a problem between my htpc and router
[15:33] <Marvelllll> they wont run at gigabit
[15:33] <Marvelllll> well they do but extremely slow
[15:33] <Marvelllll> but I can get 100mbit for some reason
[15:34] <Pici> !enter | Marvelllll
[15:35] <misha> iceroot: i've did what you wrote to me with the command "* * * * * root php /home/misha/localhost/1.php", the file update my db and i've checked the file everything works when I run the command by myself, so i'm guessing that the cron.d not works
[15:35] <floorfilla> where i can find printer driver canon ip2770 maverick?
[15:35] <dajhorn> Marvelllll: You probably have a bad cable between the devices.  Don't force the interface settings for this.
[15:35] <whoodat> Room: I am running 10.10 and using Openbox as a WM. I would like to use cairo-compmgr for compositing. There is a ppa on the developers site, but it is for debian. Can I use this ppa in ubuntu?
[15:36] <tPl0ch> dajhorn, if i use 'lshw -C network', the entry for the wireless device shows up with 'DISABLED'
[15:37] <dajhorn> tPl0ch: Pastebin your lshw and /var/log/messages file.  Delete any instances of wlan0 in your network configuration panel.
[15:37] <misha> i did echo "bla bla bla" > /etc/cron.d/mycron  with the command "* * * * * root php /home/misha/localhost/1.php", the file update my db and i've checked the file everything works when I run the command by myself, so why the cron.d not works?
[15:37] <Marvelllll> I've tried troubleshooting on this forum http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=70008  But I never solved it :S
[15:39] <sl33k_> Pici: when i put the directory in the media it tells that no such directory exists? What am i missing here?
[15:39] <Pici> sl33k_: Can you show me the exact command that you used?
[15:40] <sl33k_> Pici: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/369660/
[15:42] <Pici> sl33k_: If you're already in the directory, you don't need to specify the full path.  Just specify the filename: grep "__व्" new1.dix
[15:43] <whoodat> Question, I am running 10.10 and using Openbox as a WM. I would like to use cairo-compmgr for compositing. There is a ppa on the developers site, but it is for debian. Can I use this ppa in ubuntu?
[15:43] <sl33k_> Pici: that did the job. thanks much.
[15:44] <tPl0ch> dajhorn, http://pastebin.com/hPdgyt6t
[15:44] <GreenNerd> Can someone give me the command that will install Java in Firefox?  I have installed it using sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre, and the installer launched and went just fine, but it still does not work in Firefox...   What am I doing wrong?
[15:44] <dajhorn> tPl0ch: No, the whole thing.
[15:45] <dajhorn> tPl0ch:  And it says that you have a physical switch on the device that is set to "off".  Is this the case?
[15:46] <vanguard> [evolution email] is there some way to disable message preview in every single folder?
[15:46] <kemza> hi all, i am newbie in Java and Tomcat. I have Tomcat 6.0.24 on Ubuntu and sun-java6-jre/jdk. I am trying to run my GWT app, but it seems that i am not able to use SHA256. What is wrong?
[15:46] <Mahjongg> bastidrazor, do you remember at what stage do-release-upgrade warns about a backup ssh port?
[15:47] <whoodat> GreenNerd: Did you follow all the instructions here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[15:47] <Mahjongg> bastidrazor, currently downloading the packages, but did not warn about the port...
[15:47] <tPl0ch> omg dajhorn
[15:47] <tPl0ch> the switch
[15:47] <tPl0ch> lol
[15:47] <GreenNerd> whoodat, Yes.
[15:48] <tPl0ch> dajhorn, instaworks now, thanks :) *covers in shame*
[15:48] <jatt> kemza: maybe you need to read this http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/crypto/CryptoSpec.html and has nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:48] <jatt> ask in #java
[15:48] <dajhorn> tPl0ch: Welcome.  :D
[15:48] <bastidrazor> Mahjongg: i do not.
[15:48] <whoodat> GreenNerd: Just go on www.java.com and try to check your version of Java Runtime. Firefox should find there some "plugin" to install. Click "Yes"... and you'll have what you're looking for.
[15:49] <GreenNerd> whoodat, Firefox wants to manually install it, and the download files are .rpm
[15:49] <audhi> whoodat can we install pagemaker in ubuntu
[15:49] <GreenNerd> I think that Java fails pretty hard in this department.  As well as Firefox.   Java is so standard, I just can't believe that I can't go to time.gov and see the time...  very pathetic, IMHO
[15:50] <audhi> say the answer whoodat
[15:50] <jatt> flash is standard, time.gov is old school
[15:51] <Buffs> Hello, how do I change my master boot record to run ubuntu and windows 7? Currently I have ubuntu 10.04 on one hardrive and I'm running windows 7 on another hardrive iv'e partioned
[15:51] <dyd> is there a way to remove a certain folder from an ftp server without removing single file by single file? (it's a very huge one and it's all day that is going on...)
[15:51] <GreenNerd> jatt, I disagree.  Java is capable of being ran on a cell phone from 1999, but I can't get it to install in Firefox.
[15:52] <audhi> greennerd how tochat about ubunutu 11.04
[15:52] <jatt> maybe but java applets are old school probably the time.gov programmer is 70 years old
[15:52] <GreenNerd> audhi, With Ubuntu, anything is possible.  You just have to find the method to get there.  :)
[15:53] <sipior> GreenNerd: have you installed the actual plugin package?
[15:53] <GreenNerd> sipior, Can you give me more info?
[15:53] <Pici> audhi: I've told you this three times already: /join #ubuntu+1
[15:53] <sipior> GreenNerd: which version of ubuntu are you currently running?
[15:53] <GreenNerd> 10.10
[15:53] <BluesKaj> audhi, join #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 chat
[15:54] <sipior> GreenNerd: have a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes. the notes are for 10.04, but there is information about the Sun JRE in the section "Sun Java moved to the Partner repository".
[15:55] <audhi> sorry pici there is no plus symbol in my key board so when you tell me the code i click it and chat about 11.04 i am too sorry!
[15:55] <GreenNerd> sipior, I manually added that repository, and installed it.  It isn't working in Firefox...
[15:55] <rajo> i have one question i wan't to start on my ubuntu windows applicatio with wine but applicatio have virus is there any risk
[15:55] <sipior> GreenNerd: which one? there are several listed.
[15:55] <sipior> well, two actually.
[15:55] <GreenNerd> sipior, ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6
[15:56] <rajo>  i have one question i wan't to start on my ubuntu windows applicatio with wine but applicatio have virus is there any risk
[15:56] <sipior> GreenNerd: that isn't the repository mentioned in those notes.
[15:56] <GreenNerd> sipior, Because I installed it using the 10.10 instructions.  :D
[15:56] <BluesKaj> rajo, only if you have a windows partition , and are  connected to other windows pcs on a network, those windows pcs can become infected
[15:57] <rajo> i have in windows installed ubuntu 10.10
[15:57] <erry> I think I broke something
[15:57] <erry> ERROR:root:Bad upgrade: 'maverick' != 'karmic'
[15:57] <erry> I accidentally killed an upgrade
[15:57] <sipior> GreenNerd: you weren't able to get the JRE from that repository?
[15:58] <BluesKaj> rajo, using wubi ?
[15:58] <sipior> GreenNerd: how about the plugin package?
[15:58] <rajo> wubi ?? what is wubi
[15:58] <BluesKaj> !wubi
[15:58] <erry> :S
[15:59] <erry> is there a way to fix it?
[15:59] <whoodat> I am running 10.10 and using Openbox as a WM. I would like to use cairo-compmgr for compositing. There is a ppa on the developers site, but it is for debian. Can I use this ppa in ubuntu?
[15:59] <GreenNerd> sipior, I'll look again.  It's just very irritating that Firefox can't just grab the damn installer from Java...  In our current age of technological ability, it seems we could figure out how to make the Java Plug-In work out of the box... just saying.
[15:59] <rajo> i run ubuntu 10.10 in windows and installed os like that
[16:00] <rajo> and there is ubuntu file in my windows in C://
[16:00] <floorfilla> wubi
[16:00] <sipior> GreenNerd: no one uses java seriously anymore. grab the sun-java6-plugin package, and restart firefox.
[16:00] <kemza> jatt: thx, i will read it. Problem is, that it is fully functional on my test environment (Eclipse/Win7)
[16:00] <sipior> GreenNerd: or i should say, no one uses it seriously on the web, anymore.
[16:01] <whoodat> Can anyone answer this question: Can you use debian ppa in ubuntu?
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> !debian
[16:01] <coz_> whoodat,   I would suggest not doing that
[16:01] <rajo> BluesKaj, well i was installed it like in wubi so is there any risk
[16:02] <whoodat> Great, thanks!
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> whoodat: what app are you after?
[16:02] <BluesKaj> the only methods I'm familiar with that run ubuntu in windos is wubi or virtual machine , rajo ,which is it ?
[16:02] <coz_> whoodat,  is there a particular applicatoin you are not findin gon ubuntu that is available in debian repos?
[16:02] <whoodat> ActionParsnip: cairo-compmgr
[16:02] <hiexpo> whoodat, that is agood way tosurely break it
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> !ppa
[16:03] <whoodat> Looking to get compositing working on my openbox setup.
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> whoodat: https://launchpad.net/~gekkio/+archive/cairo-compmgr    ver 0.3.0 for maverick
[16:03] <rajo> my ubuntu is installed like program and i reboot and chose os Windows XP or Ubuntu and start ubuntu
[16:03] <whoodat> ActionParsnip: Thanks!
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> whoodat: simple ppa search dude
[16:06] <rajo> BluesKaj, See  i installed like hear http://tech.mobiletod.com/install-ubuntu-10-10-using-wubi-on-windows-machine
[16:06] <Creedgaming> Anyone help me with installing a GUI would be most appreciated...
[16:07] <coz_> Creedgaming,  you want something like gnome or kde  ?
[16:07] <BluesKaj> rajo, that's wubi :)
[16:07] <Creedgaming> either or
[16:07] <rajo> :D
[16:07] <Creedgaming> ive tried installing both with no sucess...
[16:07] <rajo> and is there risk
[16:07] <coz_> Creedgaming,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[16:07] <Creedgaming> did that several times
[16:07] <coz_> Creedgaming,  or  for kde    sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[16:08] <Creedgaming> tried Kde - gnome - xubuntu , etc... no luck
[16:08] <Creedgaming> once i install and reboot , it does nothing...
[16:08] <student_> cho
[16:08] <Creedgaming> Gnome gives me a terminal with a grey screen...
[16:08] <coz_> Creedgaming,  oh?  and do you get to text console?
[16:08] <Creedgaming> no icon , no tool bar...
[16:08] <rajo> BluesKaj, is there any risk to install it with wine? :)
[16:08] <BluesKaj> no risk to ubuntu , rajo , only to other windows machines on your network
[16:08] <coz_> Creedgaming,   oh you get to the desktop ?
[16:08] <Creedgaming> Yeah
[16:08] <Creedgaming> once i install VNCserver
[16:08] <coz_> Creedgaming,  ok try alt+F2     gnome-panel
[16:08] <BluesKaj> !virus | rajo
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> Creedgaming: the GUI will install by default in the desktop ISO...
[16:09] <Creedgaming> someone said i need to modify the xstartup file in the VNC
[16:09] <Creedgaming> but i tried that with no luck
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> Creedgaming: install the desktop ISO and all will be well
[16:09] <Roasted> How would I restart ntp service? I'm so used to /etc/init.d that I get lost on some of these newer restart commands.
[16:10] <rajo> BluesKaj, I have On My network two windows PC-s and abouth have antivirus ?
[16:10] <Creedgaming> so i run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , and hit ALT F2?
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> Creedgaming: what disk did you use to install the OS exactly?
[16:10] <Creedgaming> its a VPS server
[16:10] <Creedgaming> running Ubuntu 10.4
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> Creedgaming: i see, then install ubuntu-desktop and reboot
[16:11] <Creedgaming> i've tried that ...
[16:11] <cybrhuman> Roasted: I think the old commands still work, but new syntax is "service <name> stop/start/status/restart"
[16:11] <Pici> Creedgaming: How are you connecting to it to see the desktop if its a VPS?
[16:11] <BluesKaj> rajo,yes of course , all windows machines should have anti virus , like windows security essentials or avast ...there many other s
[16:11] <Roasted> cybrhuman, so I would need sudo service ntp restart, for example
[16:11] <Creedgaming> Using the terminal the VPS service provides...
[16:12] <cybrhuman> Roasted: think so.
[16:12] <Roasted> cybrhuman, bingo. that worked.
[16:12] <Roasted> thanks bro
[16:12] <Creedgaming> and using TightVNC Pici
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: i'd use: sudo service n   then press TAB a few times
[16:12] <Puda> Hello, I have a very major problem, when I boot into Ubuntu, all I get is a kernel panic warning about 'unable to load root fs'
[16:12] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, for auto complete, you mean?
[16:12] <Pici> Creedgaming: I see...
[16:12] <cybrhuman> Roasted: np :)
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Creedgaming: could use X forwarding instead, VNC is not secure
[16:12] <rajo> yes avast they have

[16:18] <jx-t> trainer:I've had similar problems I can usually fix it by restart an run safe mode repair broken
[16:18] <sipior> Roasted: "man ntpdate"
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> rajo: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[16:18] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, hey by the way, these sudo service *command* restart commands... is this an Ubuntu thing or would this apply to Debian, Mint, etc as well?
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> Puda: I've seen people install ubuntu over ubuntu
[16:19] <Puda> Because otherwise it's finding som way to backup all my files then reinstalling cleanly.
[16:19] <rdesfo> I'm having trouble to get my computer to acknowledge my touch screen.  I followed these direction,but every time I touch the screen the cursor goes to the upper left corner
[16:19] <rdesfo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/T101MT
[16:19] <jx-t> trainer: sorry if this doesn't fix it
[16:19] <Roasted> sipior, ahhh nice, nice. it must be ran as root. I had NO idea...
[16:19] <icedwater> Hello! It seems to be a common bug with nvidia and invisible TTYs... but I'm not sure how to get mine working. Anyone got theirs working?
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: works here on squeeze, mint is just another spin of ubuntu so willalso apply there
[16:19] <Puda> ActionParsnip: How can I do that?
[16:19] <icedwater> Tried the softpedia fix suggested in ubuntuforums but to no avail.
[16:19] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, k, just for my general linux knowledge I was curious if what I just learned was ubuntu exclusive or not. thanks bro.
[16:19] <BluesKaj> rajo, are you just worried about a virus or is your pc already infrected with one ?
[16:20] <Puda> Because the only OS I have on that PC that currently works is Win98!
[16:20] <valentin> Hello
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> Puda: boot to live cd and use custom partitioning, select the partitions to be used for the various filesystems the SAME as you have now but mark them to NOT be formatted. I've heard it done but I haven't personally done it.
[16:20] <rajo> no i wan't to know when i put this program will it infect my windows
[16:20] <valentin> can someone help me?
[16:20] <Roasted> sipior, if I get "no servers can be used, exiting" does that mean I did something wrong? It also does it on the default ntp.ubuntu.com address that's here by default...
[16:20] <rdesfo> does any one know how to trouble shoot a touch screen on a eeePC?
[16:21] <Puda> Is there something safer?
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> Puda: it will install the foles from the CD over the current ones andmay help, or it may make a completely unusable OS.
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> Puda: clean reinstall
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> rajo: your windows OS won't be affected
[16:21] <coz_> rdesfo,  this is from last year but still looking   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1412582
[16:22] <sipior> Roasted: try one of the ones listed here: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
[16:22] <rajo> that was my question Thanks :)
[16:22] <valentin> My video playback is laggy... it does not matter what videoplayer I use...
[16:22] <rdesfo> coz_: thanks
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> valentin: what video chip do you have?
[16:22] <sipior> Roasted: i've had mixed success with ntp.ubuntu.com myself.
[16:22] <coz_> rdesfo,    look here also http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=8026
[16:22] <sipior> Roasted: best to use a local time server in any event.
[16:22] <coz_> rdesfo,   also google     ubuntu eeepc touchscreen troubleshooting
[16:22] <Roasted> sipior, the scary thing is it does it to our internal time server too, which is what I'll need in the end :(
[16:22] <lucid_j> I need some help. URGENT!
[16:22] <valentin> Ati Radeon HD 5000 series
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> valentin: have you installed the proprietary driver?
[16:23] <valentin> i am using proprietary drivers
[16:23] <Pici> lucid_j: You haven't even asked a question yet.
[16:23] <valentin> Yes
[16:23] <sipior> lucid_j: easier if you just ask your question directly.
[16:23] <lucid_j> I installed a program using a jar installer
[16:23] <ikonia> Roasted: you can't run ntpdate while ntp is running as the port is already in use
[16:23] <araujo> anyone knows how to get kernel > 2.6.35 in Maverick ?
[16:23] <rajo> also i have pocket PC axim x30 that's run windows mobile 2003 is there any linux os for It
[16:23] <lucid_j> On my home dir
[16:23] <Roasted> ikonia, no kidding?
[16:23] <Pici> !enter | lucid_j
[16:23] <lucid_j> And I unistalled it using it's jar unistaller
[16:23] <sipior> Roasted: that will generate a different error, however.
[16:23] <Roasted> sipior, :(
[16:24] <ikonia> Roasted: errr no, ntpdate is just a quick launch of ntp, so ntpdate can't run "ntp" whild ntp is running
[16:24] <lucid_j> It had an option to force delete the installation directory
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: use a SINGLE line, it makes it easier to work out as we don't have to piece together the fragments
[16:24] <Roasted> ikonia, still got hte same error though
[16:24] <Roasted> ikonia, with service stopped.
[16:24] <ikonia> Roasted: can you reach those servers over the network ?
[16:24] <Roasted> ikonia, well the time server is our DC. I can ping, access it, remote in, etc.
[16:24] <Roasted> if that answers your question
[16:25] <ikonia> Roasted: ping isn't a test
[16:25] <rajo> is there any ubuntu for pocket pc
[16:25] <lucid_j> that directory was my home directory (/home/user) and it deleted everything on it. Is there any way to restore those folders?
[16:25] <sipior> Roasted: is your local server configured to hand out times to your machine?
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> !ppc | rajo
[16:25] <ikonia> Roasted: you need to access on port 123, also domain (windows) controllers won't give out time to non-domain members normally
[16:25] <Puda> MY exact problem: After selecting any Ubuntu entry in GRUB I get this: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> rajo: you need to find out the cpu it uses
[16:25] <lucid_j> A lot of apps are not working anymore and I am afraid to shutdown the PC
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: use your backups
[16:26] <Roasted> sipior, yes, it is. however it's a windows server and it hands out time to our windows boxes on the domain. while I'm adding ubuntu to the mix here, ubuntu is still on our windows domain, so I would THINK it would still apply.
[16:26] <rajo> my cpu is 624 mhz i know only that
[16:26] <Roasted> ikonia, I know. these boxes are added to our domain. I'm curious if ntp still transfers to them, though.
[16:26] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: I have not made any backup..
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> valentin: have you used the catalyst control centre? if you press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace      do they run better?
[16:26] <Roasted> ikonia, because after all, we are mixing/matching platforms with linux/windows, etc.
[16:26] <ikonia> Roasted: mine works fine
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: whyever not? Drives can fail at any time....
[16:26] <Roasted> ikonia, in regard to windows time server/domain + ubuntu boxes?
[16:26] <ikonia> Roasted: well, server/domain + linux machine
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: you have learned the value of backups the hardest way possible
[16:27] <lucid_j> That's true
[16:27] <Roasted> ikonia, that's good to know. at least I know that functionality exists.
[16:27] <sipior> Roasted: you might try supplying the "-d" switch to ntpdate, see if it prints anything useful.
[16:27] <ikonia> Roasted: it is more common though to have the windows machines syncing from a time source and pointing linux clients direct at that time source
[16:27] <ikonia> as in the domain syncs from a time source, so do the linux machine, the windows clients sync from the domain
[16:27] <valentin> I am using Unity so I dont know if running metacity is even an option... but I CAN try
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: all I can suggest is you boot to live cd and install foremost and scan the partition where the data was. You will need a partition mounted writable to spit the resultimg data to
[16:27] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: Is there any way to restore these folders? The trash can is empty..
[16:27] <Kindari> How can I find out the filesystem type of a partition? (not mounted)
[16:28] <Roasted> sipior, it only gave me 1 additional line. I still have no time servers, but above it, it said - 11 Apr 11:27:23 ntpdate[21434]: ntpdate 4.2.4p8@1.1612-o Sat Aug  7 00:36:25 UTC 2010 (1)
[16:28] <ikonia> Kindari: mount command shows it
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> Kindari: sudo parted -l
[16:28] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: That sounds very complicated..
[16:28] <Roasted> sipior, no time servers is line 2 then underneath what I just pasted
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: hardly, there is an official doc on it, it may not work or some files may be damaged
[16:29] <Kindari> Thanks, ActionParsnip.
[16:29] <he1net> hello
[16:29] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: Is there any undelete software for ubuntu?
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: you are doing a full data restore, its not too hard but its not simple
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: foremost is undelete software
[16:30] <icedwater> clear
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[16:30] <icedwater> Whoops, wrong window
[16:30] <lucid_j> foremost is installed on live cd?
[16:30] <Puda> I can get into the ubuntu command line, is there a way to reinstall all the graphics software from there?
[16:31] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip:  foremost is installed on live cd?
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: as far as I'm aware, no but you can pull it off the repos
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: may be installable on the livecd too
[16:32] <sven_oostenbrink> What is a good simple command line program to play mp3 files?
[16:32] <arand> sven_oostenbrink: mpd is a popular one
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> sven_oostenbrink: mplayer
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> sven_oostenbrink: or vlc-nox
[16:32] <Kindari> Hm. "mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /data busy".  When running mount sdb is not listed at all, so why would "/data" be busy?
[16:33] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: I don't want to restart
[16:33] <sven_oostenbrink> arand: mpd? sounds okay
[16:33] <arand> !mpd | sven_oostenbrink
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: you'll have to so the partition isn't mounted
[16:33] <real_ate> hi all. is there any way to figure out what file was deleted from this dmesg output: EXT4-fs (sda9): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 1446701
[16:34] <sven_oostenbrink> arand: thanks!
[16:34] <UkeofJersey> Greets, all!  I have a GRUB2 question.  I was running out of room on a 10GB partition so I made a 20GB, cp -a the stuff over and I'm booted in the 'new' Ubuntu now.  I've already gone to this fstab and changed it to this install as well.  Trouble is, I don't know how to change anything in GRUB2.  The update gave me this distro as an option and all, but I want this to be the default and eventually erase the 'old' partition.  Any
[16:34] <UkeofJersey> help?
[16:35] <Roasted> sipior, Do you know the difference between ntp and ntpd? I'm reading ntpd uses ntp.conf, NOT "ntp" itself. So now I'm confused over where exactly I should set my time server if ntpdate doesn't work with ntp.conf
[16:35] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: I want to undelete the folders of my /home/user directory not the whole partition
[16:35] <dajhorn> real_ate:  Check the /lost+found folder at the root of this filesystem.
[16:35] <arand> sven_oostenbrink: Hmm I thought there would be a factoid for that, anyways, its a daemon, requiring some configuration, but it is the most popular one, for quick and simple usage vlc-nox or cvlc or something else like that might be a better choice.
[16:35] <ikonia> Roasted: one is a server that sits running in the background managing clock drift
[16:35] <ikonia> ntpdate is a manual command line tool where you set the server you want it to use as an argument
[16:35] <real_ate> dajhorn: empty
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: foremost will scan for file types, not locations
[16:36] <Roasted> ikonia, if I run ntpdate with the IP of my time server, it says the socket is in use, exiting. From what I read, this is what I want to see. But I'm just a little confused between ntp vs ntpd vs ntp.conf and who uses it, etc.
[16:36] <dajhorn> real_ate: Okay, then this probably isn't a problem unless you have obviously filesystem corruption elsewhere.
[16:36] <sipior> Roasted: you just want to use ntpdate to test if the thing works. once it does, set the appropriate host in ntp.conf.
[16:36] <ikonia> Roasted: is ntpd running currently ?
[16:37] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: I installed recover but is for ext2
[16:37] <real_ate> dajhorn: well some files are defo missing... I have a svn folder that used to be fine before this but now "svn st" says that it is not a working copy
[16:37] <Roasted> ikonia, service --status-all reveals ntp to be running, but ntpd isn't existent
[16:37] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: Now I am trying magic resque
[16:37] <UkeofJersey> should I be asking my GRUB2 question in another channel?
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: all i can suggest is hunt around, foremost does a good job but its not perfect.
[16:37] <ikonia> Roasted: don't use "service" check for the ntpd process
[16:37] <yann97> hello world
[16:37] <ikonia> Roasted: there is no such command as "ntp"
[16:37] <dajhorn> real_ate: umount the filesystem and force an offline check.
[16:37] <real_ate> dajhorn: but I was just trying to figure out what other files have been lost, there are 22 in total entries for  ext4_orphan_cleanup
[16:38] <Roasted> ikonia, ntp is a service that's running on my box.
[16:38] <lolmatic> hi to all chumps and chumpettes
[16:38] <GreenNerd> hello, lolmatic
[16:38] <Roasted> ikonia, I'm not seeing ntpd under top...
[16:38] <ikonia> Roasted: yes, but there is no such command as "ntp" so you will have something called "ntp" running, hence why I'm asking you to check for ntpd
[16:38] <real_ate> dajhorn: but it has already checked and fixed the "problem" by deleting the inodes... i just want to figure out what inodes it has deleted
[16:38] <ikonia> Roasted: top only shows the top user processes, check if it's running
[16:38] <nonickperson> im having an issue with macchanger in ubuntu, i can change the mac, but when the wireless connection drops and reconnects, it reverts back to the original mac. Is this normal?
[16:39] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: foremosta has a gui?
[16:39] <dajhorn> real_ate: Did you write down the inode numbers?
[16:39] <sipior> nonickperson: yes.
[16:39] <real_ate> dajhorn: or more to the point, i want to know if it is possible to know what inodes have been deleted (i.e. what position in the file system ) from the id number
[16:39] <lolmatic> i am experiencing a horrible problem. sometimes when i left click (logitech mx518) the cursor gets somehow attached to the focused window and i cant left click anywhere else.
[16:39] <real_ate> dajhorn: yes i have them all in dmesg log
[16:39] <nonickperson> sipior, how can i make the new mac more perminent until i decide
[16:39] <lolmatic> im running 10.10 32 bit on fully fledged intel hardware
[16:39] <letas> Hello my friends - does anyone know of password service (program) that would allow me to create accounts for developers where they could get the credentials for certain applications... without them having direct access to such credentials? Makes sense?
[16:40] <ikonia> letas: policy kit
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: no its a command line app but the ubuntu doc I gave the link to shows how to use it, its not hard
[16:40] <dajhorn> real_ate: Deep voodoo.  First, take the system offline and make a 1-to-1 copy of the disk.  Second, you'll need to read about the e2fs progs.
[16:40] <letas> ikonia, thanks let me look into it right now
[16:40] <UkeofJersey> Greets, all!  I have a GRUB2 question.  I was running out of room on a 10GB partition so I made a 20GB, cp -a the stuff over and I'm booted in the 'new' Ubuntu now.  I've already gone to this fstab and changed it to this install as well.  Trouble is, I don't know how to change anything in GRUB2.  The update gave me this distro as an option and all, but I want this to be the default and eventually erase the 'old' partition.  Any
[16:40] <Roasted> ikonia, I forget how to pipe the ps -A command only for ntpd. Any thought offhand?
[16:40] <UkeofJersey> help?
[16:40] <ikonia> Roasted: ps -ef | grep ntpd
[16:40] <Roasted> ah, I did it backwards
[16:41] <nonickperson> sipior, any idea?
[16:41] <cybrhuman> UkeofJersey: you should maybe try #grub here on freenode
[16:41] <Roasted> ikonia, http://tinypaste.com/cfd9db
[16:41] <Arcidias> hey all
[16:41] <Roasted> not sure if thats definitive or not
[16:41] <Roasted> doesnt make much sense to me offhand
[16:41] <UkeofJersey> thanks, cybrhuman!
[16:42] <real_ate> dajhorn: do you mean e2fsck?
[16:42] <ikonia> Roasted: that pastebin doesn't work
[16:42] <real_ate> or are you talking about other tools ?
[16:42] <dajhorn> real_ate: After you have a raw copy of the broken filesystem,  poke some of the inodes using the debugfs program.
[16:42] <Roasted> ikonia, works here?
[16:42] <Kartagis> !find gen-auth
[16:42] <ikonia> Roasted: doesn't here
[16:42] <Roasted> ikonia, it's the only one I found not categorized as "adult" by our filter... :(
[16:42] <nonickperson> does anyone know a way to change your macc address on a more perminanet bases? ive been using macchanger and it keeps reverting back to the original mac when the connection drops and re-connects
[16:42] <Roasted> ikonia, it's only 3 lines - can I PM them to you?
[16:42] <ikonia> Roasted: sure
[16:42] <dajhorn> real_ate: This is not an easy fix.  Learning how to back out an inode problem will be hours of reading and learning.  Just restore from backup if you have a critical problem.
[16:42] <sipior> nonickperson: you could run it as a post-up stanza in /etc/network/interfaces, or simply use the "hwaddress" expression.
[16:43] <ikonia> Roasted: ok, so that shows ntpd is running
[16:43] <sipior> nonickperson: generally, changing MAC addresses is poor practise (with some very limited exceptions)
[16:43] <Roasted> ikonia, which, the 2nd line?
[16:43] <ikonia> Roasted: that explains why the socket is already in use
[16:43] <nonickperson> sipior, i tried that but it didnt work for me, i copied the maccaddress script into /ect/network/i pre.d whatever and that didnt work
[16:43] <Roasted> ikonia, I was having a hard time reading that output.
[16:43] <ikonia> Roasted: yes
[16:43] <ikonia> Roasted: you need to stop the ntpd service
[16:43] <nonickperson> and i added in interfaces auto wlan0 ifaces -e whatever .. no luck either
[16:43] <real_ate> dajhorn: you see that is the problem... everything is working fine! I have only noticed 2 problems with the file system, i.e. stuff missing, and i'm worried about *where* the other 22 missing inodes are from
[16:44] <Roasted> ikonia, is that done by sudo service ntpd stop?
[16:44] <real_ate> dajhorn: i don't actually have a "critical probelm" i'm just "critically worried" ...
[16:44] <ikonia> Roasted: sudo service ntp stop
[16:44] <ikonia> Roasted: I believe the service is "ntp" but the daemon is ntpd
[16:44] <dajhorn> real_ate: Then you answered your question...  Restore the system from backup.
[16:44] <Roasted> ikonia, ah, okay. I was jsut about to ask that. I guess that's why smb is smbd too.
[16:45] <ikonia> Roasted: yes
[16:45] <Roasted> ikonia, process stopped.
[16:45] <craigbass1976> Why do I have to route add default gw every time the computer reboots?
[16:45] <ikonia> Roasted: now try your ntpdate command
[16:45] <Roasted> ikonia, I've done this before.
[16:45] <ikonia> Roasted: ok ?
[16:45] <Roasted> ikonia, I get no servers can be used, exiting, whether or not the service is started/stopped
[16:45] <Bezbronny> ave
[16:46] <ikonia> Roasted: what is the exact command you use
[16:46] <Roasted> ikonia, sudo ntpdate, sudo ntpdate -d
[16:46] <NET||abuse> got my old laptop installed,,
[16:46] <NET||abuse> old desktop sorry
[16:46] <ikonia> Roasted: no !
[16:46] <ikonia> Roasted: did you not read what I told you earlier
[16:46] <craigbass1976> Forget it, I had the wrong gateway in /etc/...
[16:46] <sipior> Roasted: how about specifying a host to use?
[16:46] <dholbach> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAppDeveloperWeek starting in 15 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom
[16:46] <NET||abuse> wee, ubuntu on a P4 with a MASSIVE 320MB of ram,, powerhouse
[16:46] <Roasted> ikonia, just added my host. forgot that part. sorry I had 3 convos going on at once.
[16:47] <Roasted> says I was off by .000000029 second or something.
[16:47] <ikonia> Roasted: it's a command line tool that you use the host as the argument
[16:47] <Asad> Is there a way to make uswsusp to load everything to RAM on resume? All the apps remain pretty slow after a hibernate/resume until some time ....
[16:47] <ikonia> Roasted: then it's worked, it's synced
[16:47] <Bezbronny> someone can help install  intel gma x3100 drivers ?
[16:47] <ikonia> Roasted: so you now put that host in your ntp config, and start the ntpd to keep the time in sync
[16:47] <Roasted> /etc/ntp.conf you refer to, right
[16:47] <ikonia> Roasted: for ntpd - yes
[16:48] <Roasted> ikonia, if ntp/ntpd have the same relationship as smb/smbd, why does samba list smbd in service --status-all and ntp is listed by ntp and not ntpd?
[16:48] <ikonia> Roasted: it's just wording/names
[16:48] <Roasted> ikonia, so nothing else relevant in regard to their differences?
[16:48] <ikonia> Roasted: no, just names,
[16:49] <Roasted> ikonia, appreciate it, bro.
[16:49] <Roasted> sipior, you as well.

[17:05] <padhu> join #ubuntu-classroom to attend class
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.
[17:07] <luist> how can i make ubuntu read my external HD?
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> luist:  mount it. and you shoudl be able to. Depends on what FS it is also.
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> most externals should auto mount on access.
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: too late s/he gone
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> so much for patience. :)
[17:09] <sllide> damn just as i want to get a cd with shipit
[17:09] <sllide> it closes :(
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> Yep - no moar shipit. sort of a bummer. I used it once or twice.
[17:10] <sllide> yeah
[17:10] <sllide> never used it
[17:10] <sllide> decided to get one so i wont lose all those copied cd's
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> thers cheapbytes.com and a few other cd stores ive used ages ago...
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> I just make a generic grub2 flash drve that boots iso files. :) dont need cd's much these days
[17:11] <sllide> smart
[17:11] <sllide> but i dont got a big one
[17:11] <sllide> only 2 gb
[17:11] <sllide> still need to get a big one
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> thats enough for grub2 and 2 iso images. :)
[17:11] <MK`> Dr_Willis: what can I do if a key on my keyboard doesn't register in xev and doesn't throw an error in dmesg?
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> I fixed up a 8gb with like 10 differnt disrtos on it.
[17:11] <sllide> ah well
[17:11] <bastidrazor> sllide: radio shack has 8GB thumbdrives for 21$
[17:12] <dotlegend> my desktop folder is pointing to home, how can i change it back to the desktop
[17:12] <sllide> radioshack doesnt exist in the netherlands :)
[17:12] <dotlegend> ?
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> MK`:  check google and the forums for that exact make keyboard would be where i would sstart.
[17:12] <luist> help here... how do i know if ubuntu is reading my external hd?
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> got a 16gb for $29 the other day.
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> luist:  if you can acess/mount the drive.. then its 'reading it'
[17:12] <RealOpty> mmmm whats to command to clean out old kernels + remove them from grub?
[17:13] <luist> Dr_Willis, fine then its not mounting the drive... help me
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> RealOpty:  just removing them.. will clean them out from grub.
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> luist:  and what filesystem is the drive?
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> RealOpty: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/17/remove-ubuntu-kernels-you-dont-need/
[17:13] <luist> Dr_Willis, fat
[17:13] <RealOpty> ok that will work too
[17:13] <vanguard> how can I modify my keyboard layout i. e. changing buttons?
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> luist:  they should be auto mounting on access. or try the mount command to mount them by hand somewhere.
[17:14] <kong> hey guys: Do I have to have the "netlogon" folder shared to get startup scripts to run on my samba domain controler?
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: you can use xmodmap
[17:14] <RealOpty> i thought there was some command that does it all. maybe that was just to rebuild grub menu or something
[17:14] <luist> Dr_Willis, the mount command is?
[17:14] <maco> luist: "mount"
[17:14] <luist> maco, parameters?
[17:14] <luist> maco, device?
[17:15] <maco> luist:  mount device mountpoint
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> !mount
[17:15] <luist> maco, whats the device?
[17:15] <maco> luist: er...it's your computer, you tell me?
[17:15] <Yahuda> Hi, yesterday my computer couldn't manage to close properly. I pushed power button a few seconds and it did close. But today, after I started my computer a few errors occured. I think some of my disk drive damaged. Docky doesn't start for example. Is there any way to fix this?
[17:15] <maco> luist: would be like /dev/sd__
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> RealOpty:  ive never seen one command that just remvoes old kernels. I use the package manager.. or cheat and use some of the clean up tools
[17:15] <vanguard> ActionParsnip: is there a gui?
[17:16] <maco> luist: sda = first disk, sdb = second disk... sda1 = first partitionon first disk, sda2 = second parition on first disk
[17:16] <luist> maco, i suppose sdc then?
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: doubt it but there are tonnes of ow-tos online
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> luist:  check out put of 'sudo fdisk -l' or check dmesg output  a few moments after plugging in the drive.
[17:16] <maco> luist: maybe?  sudo fdisk -l        would list them
[17:16] <vanguard> ActionParsnip: kk
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> luist: run:  sudo parted -l     and you'll see the partitions
[17:17] <luist> Dr_Willis, maco, /dev/sdc1               1       60802   488386521    7  HPFS/NTFS
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> luist:  you said it was 'fat'  that one is NTFS...
[17:17] <luist> Dr_Willis, my bad then
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> luist:  try mounting it and see if it works then.  you can use the 'sudo ntfs-3g' command  or mount with the -t ntfs-3g option.
[17:18] <multipass> is there a way to turn ram caching off?
[17:18] <Yahuda> And I have 400 gb data in my 500 hdd. And Ubuntu tells me that I have only 1.6 gb open space left.
[17:18] <RealOpty> ive been using an apt proxy, I want to revert back to using the normal mirros. any suggestions?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> multipass:  clarify what you mean.
[17:18] <Abhijit> !cache
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> RealOpty:  unset the proxy setting..
[17:19] <MK`> Ok I think I found the model Dr_Willis, what next?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> My proxy/cache is set in /etc/apt.d/ i think.
[17:19] <multipass> well it looks like ram is caching all sorts of stuff, is there any reason to have it doing that?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> MK`:  hit the forums and google.  Thers to many variaties of keyboards and special cases out there.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> multipass:  it makes the system faster.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> !linuxatemyram
[17:19] <sipior> multipass: what did you buy the ram for, if not to use it?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> !ram
[17:19] <Juv1228> hello
[17:19] <RealOpty> Dr_Willis, i know that. but i upgraded to 10.10 via the caching proxy, last time i remember i got a big headace when trying to revert
[17:20] <luist> Dr_Willis, this??  sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /work/hd
[17:20] <RealOpty> headache
[17:20] <Juv1228> so i have a python script using pyusb that doesnt work on my ubuntu 64bit install
[17:20] <Juv1228> but works on an identical 32bit ubuntu install
[17:20] <Juv1228> it gives usb.USBError: No error
[17:20] <Juv1228> on 64bit
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> luist:  use -t ntfs-3g
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> luist:  or the ntfs-3g command
[17:21] <Juv1228> such a great error name that that is
[17:21] <multipass> yeah idk, theres a command to clear all your cashed ram
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs
[17:21] <multipass> so i was just wondering
[17:21] <Juv1228> i have figured out it seems to be a bug in pyusb
[17:21] <luist> Dr_Willis, http://pastie.org/1783324
[17:21] <Juv1228> anyone know whats different in 64bit that would be causing this?
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> luist:  you did make the Mountpoint directory First?
[17:22] <luist> Dr_Willis, /work/hd? yes
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> luist:  you sure thats the right disk/drive. and its not encrypted or anything weird?
[17:23] <MK`> Well I'm already lost. No idea where to go or what to do.
[17:23] <Juv1228> anyone know whats up with pyusb not working on 64bit 10.10?
[17:23] <luist> Dr_Willis, hm.. no.. it opens ok on my mac and windows
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> MK`:  go to the ubuntu forums and use their search feature?  enter keyboard model name.
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> luist:  you may be using the wrong /dev/sdXX or a typo in your mount command.
[17:25] <MK`> Dr_Willis: zero matches XD
[17:25] <luist> Dr_Willis, http://pastie.org/1783335
[17:25] <exxtreme> Can ubuntu use ssh -X   to login to a remote desktop?
[17:26] <exxtreme> eg:  ssh -X  user@xx.xx.xx.xx
[17:26] <Pici> exxtreme: Sure.
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> exxtreme:  most all linux's can.  and even some other os's :)
[17:26] <sympt0m> what does the -X switch do?
[17:26] <UbuntuFanatic> ^
[17:26] <UbuntuFanatic> I was about to as.
[17:26] <UbuntuFanatic> *ask.
[17:27] <exxtreme> -X is supposed to start a gui remote desktop
[17:27] <Pici> sympt0m: It enables X forwarding.
[17:27] <UbuntuFanatic> Oh, thanks.
[17:27] <Pici> exxtreme: Not normally. You need to provide a command if you want it to actually start something.
[17:29] <exxtreme> Pici..i have vnc server installed.  I just want to login to a remote graphical desktop with ssh -X .
[17:29] <exxtreme> at the moment i'm using gvncviewer. It works fine, but video is slightly lagging.  I was hoping ssh -X would be faster.
[17:30] <Pici> exxtreme: ssh -X is usually slow, unless you're on a local connection.

[17:31] <eblume> Hi. I have a 10.04 VM that was provided by my web hosting provider, and it seems they monkeyed around a bit with the default install. Mostly it's fine, but I noticed it's missing all the helpful hints the command line usually gets - things like if you type in the name of a program and it's not installed, it will tell you what package to install.
[17:32] <eblume> Does anyone know what package I can install to get those back?
[17:32] <Creedgaming> Anyone help me with the installation of Gnome please...

[17:32] <Creedgaming> I cant get any of them to work :(
[17:32] <bodai> with lucid it was not a problem
[17:32] <UbuntuFanatic> Creedgaming, what is your "setup"?
[17:32] <Seb_> I'm trying to install Unity on Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm getting the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/592699/

[17:33] <bodai> i installed samba but configured smb.conf but still the same

[17:36] <Juv1228> anyone know whats up with pyusb not working on 64bit 10.10?
[17:36] <Juv1228> gives me usb.USBError: No error
[17:36] <Guest54616> usb maybe 2.0
[17:37] <Juv1228> yet works fine on ubuntu 32bit VM
[17:37] <Guest54616> or you dont have usb supported driver
[17:37] <Guest54616> in 64 bit very difficult
[17:38] <Juv1228> well, they are pretty much both fresh installs
[17:38] <Juv1228> ones 32bit, the others 64
[17:38] <Juv1228> thats the only difference
[17:38] <Guest54616> yes install also motherboard driver
[17:38] <Juv1228> well i do have working usb devices if thats what your implying
[17:38] <Juv1228> mouse, keyboard, flashdrives and such all work
[17:39] <edvaldoscruz> boa tarde
[17:39] <Juv1228> its just one device i am using (home built) that does not work in pyusb
[17:39] <Guest54616> only usb is not working with your 64 bit?
[17:39] <Juv1228> correct
[17:39] <edvaldoscruz> alguém poderia me dizer como coloco os icones no desktop do ubuntu 11.04 ?
[17:40] <Juv1228> if i run the python script in a 32bit VM and connect the usb device to that it works fine
[17:40] <Guest54616> check the driver for 64 bit
[17:40] <Juv1228> there is no driver
[17:40] <Juv1228> its being sent raw usb packets via pyusb
[17:41] <Creedgaming> Idleone xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)
[17:41] <Juv1228> http://free60.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=free60/tools;a=blob_plain;f=picflash/host/XFlash.py;hb=HEAD
[17:41] <Juv1228> thats the script
[17:41] <Guest54616> what system u have?
[17:41] <Guest54616> amd 64 or intel 64
[17:41] <Juv1228> 10.10 64bit ubuntu intel
[17:42] <Riiick> !br
[17:42] <xplat> i haven't plugged in an external monitor to my (karmic) laptop in a long time.  today i did, and opened Display prefs.  now i have a permanent box that says 'Laptop 14"' in the nw corner.  best way to nuke it?
[17:43] <Guest54616> and so usb is not supported in 64 bit,and then just use 32 bit and thats fine
[17:43] <Wanderer> Can anyone help with pulse audio sound?  (Ubuntu Lucid x86_64)
[17:43] <UbuntuFanatic> Wanderer, I have pulse audio.
[17:43] <UbuntuFanatic> What's wrong?
[17:43] <Juv1228> its not that usb isnt supported in 64bit
[17:44] <Juv1228> its pyusb doing something stupid with it
[17:44] <Juv1228> the device works, and i can sort of poke around with it in pyusb
[17:44] <Wanderer> UbuntuFanatic: No sound.  No visible errors.  My test at this point is Minecraft
[17:44] <Juv1228> but some commands fail with usb.USBError: No error
[17:44] <Wanderer> I get an error "can't open device 'default'"
[17:45] <xplat> Juv1228: when your script makes USB packets, is it properly using fixed-size packing everywhere?
[17:45] <Juv1228> http://free60.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=free60/tools;a=blob_plain;f=picflash/host/XFlash.py;hb=HEAD
[17:45] <Juv1228> not really sure, its not my script
[17:46] <UbuntuFanatic> Wanderer, strange, does it work normally?
[17:46] <Wanderer> UbuntuFanatic: I think so, how do I check?
[17:47] <UbuntuFanatic> Erm, YouTube?
[17:47] <UbuntuFanatic> Just play a random video.
[17:47] <Ina> I have an issue. I would like to run a piece of software that requires libstc++5, which is no longer offered by the Ubuntu repositories
[17:47] <UbuntuFanatic> (if you're on a keyboard with an FN button, use page up and down to turn it up and down. :P)
[17:47] <UbuntuFanatic> Ina, une momento.
[17:47] <Wanderer> yep,  youtube in FF playing fine
[17:47] <Juv1228> xplat: it fails on line 88

[17:48] <bodai> i cannot connect to win7 pc since upgraded to maverick
[17:49] <Ina> UbuntuFanatic, I tried that, complains about dependencies that cannot be met
[17:49] <shomon> how could I mess with firefox (in a nice way) so that it was a bit more kiosk-like?
[17:49] <UbuntuFanatic> What dependencies?
[17:49] <misha> hi guys. cron with 0 0 * * * will run every day at 00:00 yes?
[17:49] <UbuntuFanatic> shomon, as in..? :s
[17:49] <Pici> misha: Yes.
[17:49] <shomon> as in turn off a few bits and bobs...
[17:49] <Ina> Lemme look again, gimme a few minutes. This machine is slow. :|
[17:50] <shomon> I'm seeing there is r-kiosk and stuff like that, but I wonder if it's possible without installing anything...
[17:50] <Wanderer> UbuntuFanatic: so Pulse is working,  any ideas on minecraft?
[17:50] <UbuntuFanatic> Wanderer, update Java perhaps?
[17:50] <UbuntuFanatic> I have to be right back.
[17:50] <misha> Pici: thanks:)
[17:51] <shomon> basically I want people to open firefox and only see this one app.
[17:51] <xplat> Juv1228: it could be the self.cmd before that which actually fails -- self.cmd has no error check so if the xflash device fails to parse the packet and doesn't respond with a bulk transfer the script will seem to fail at 88
[17:51] <Wanderer> I'm on latest Sun Java6,  first thing I checked :>
[17:51] <Wanderer> ok, I'll go back to the minecraft guys
[17:51] <Wanderer> thanks for the verification though
[17:52] <Juv1228> xplat: hmm, that makes sense
[17:52] <Juv1228> so how could i check for that?
[17:52] <xplat> Juv1228: i don't know enough about the python struct library to know if "LL" is the right way to pack that
[17:52] <Juv1228> usb sniffing software to check shit out?
[17:53] <misha> Pici: any chance that you know how to check from script if folder exists or not?
[17:53] <maco> misha: what kind of script?
[17:53] <xplat> Juv1228: either that or a careful code review with the struct docs
[17:53] <misha> maco: bash/shell
[17:53] <IdleOne> Juv1228: please keep the language clean

[17:54] <prome> this is prome
[17:54] <prome> i have problem connecting internet through DSL connection with a servicename
[17:54] <misha> maco: thanks
[17:54] <prome> can somebody help
[17:55] <i_is_broke> prome, try not to use the enter key so much.
[17:55] <subz> #join ubuntu-br
[17:55] <prome> i_is_broke:  ok
[17:55] <xplat> i haven't plugged in an external monitor to my (karmic) laptop in a long time.  today i did, and opened Display prefs.  now i have a permanent box that says 'Laptop 14"' in the nw corner.  what's the best way to nuke it?
[17:56] <i_is_broke> prome, now have you double checked that the wires are right, and have you checked your settings yet?
[17:56] <prome> i_is_broke:  can u help me?
[17:56] <prome> yes
[17:56] <prome> i can easily connect in windows 7
[17:57] <xplat> (i'd like to never have it come back.  what's the point of a little box on a screen telling me which screen it is?  that's worse than marking your hands L and R)
[17:57] <i_is_broke> prome, ok, well that sounds like the eth0 isnt working then.
[17:57] <Juv1228> xplat: thanks for the insight, hopefully i can figure this out
[17:57] <Juv1228> also, would your theory explain it working on 32bit ubuntu, and not 64bit?
[17:57] <prome> it does work there but i m facing problem with providing the servicename there i_is_broke
[17:58] <i_is_broke> prome, does your ip require a user name and password to connect?
[17:58] <prome> yes i_is_broke
[17:58] <xplat> Juv1228: yes, it would exactly explain that.  my theory would be wrong if the same script works on a different 64-bit system (not ubuntu, or different ubuntu version)
[17:58] <i_is_broke> prome, and you have added?
[17:59] <prome> yes i_is_broke i have added those
[17:59] <Juv1228> only other 64bit os i have is w7
[17:59] <Juv1228> but id rather not boot into that now >.<
[17:59] <i_is_broke> prome, ok open terminal and see what dmesg says.
[17:59] <Juv1228> ill try it later tho
[17:59] <Juv1228> thanks a bunch
[17:59] <xplat> oh, and it would also need to be 64bit python
[17:59] <xplat> not 32bit python running on 64bit os
[17:59] <Juv1228> is it possible to run 32bit python in ubuntu 64?
[18:00] <sympt0m> si
[18:00] <Juv1228> if so ill just try that
[18:00] <Userx7> ubuntu 10.10 64 installing a bin. (sudo) chmod +x then ./filename -- doesn't seem to make it executable as  no tab completion. manually type it -- permission denied. any libs i need to run/install a bin file?
[18:00] <i_is_broke> prome, also see what lspci says. it may be that you have to load the driver module for your eth0 in linux.
[18:00] <prome> i_is_broke:  actually I am in Windows 7 and for trying every command I have to restart and boot in Ubuntu
[18:01] <xplat> Juv1228: you can, but i don't know how hard it is to get installed nicely since i never tried it
[18:01] <prome> for that I can state the link in ubuntu forrums where i tried to solve the problem
[18:01] <prome> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1719984

[18:02] <prome> Juv1228:  what is VMware workstation
[18:02] <Juv1228> and i run them as VM's in each other if that makes sense
[18:02] <i_is_broke> prome, ah i see, ok, well also check and see what ifconfig says as well.
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> Userx7:  and you are using ./whatever.bin   not just ./whatever
[18:02] <Juv1228> virtual machines
[18:02] <Juv1228> allows you to run your physical ubuntu install within windows
[18:02] <Juv1228> and vice versa
[18:02] <Userx7> Dr_Willis: cortex_command-amd64-installer-b24-12162010.bin (a game); "sudo chmod +x cortex_command-amd64-installer-b24-12162010.bin"
[18:02] <prome> ok
[18:02] <i_is_broke> Juv1228, try suggesting something in repos first.
[18:02] <xplat> i guess i'll just try xkill and hope it's not compiz putting this box up
[18:03] <laura_> HI :)
[18:03] <Userx7> Also with gksudo nautilus won't let me check the "make executable" box either
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> Userx7:  that game worked for me when i tried it the other day. you dont need to sudo to chmod +x it.. in fact. You may  be able to 'run' the bin as a user and isntall it in the users home dir
[18:03] <i_is_broke> !VM
[18:03] <newbie01> for pasting pics whats the site
[18:03] <prome> Juv1228:  u meant to say i have to install ubuntu inside windows
[18:03] <Juv1228> only reason i suggested vmware is because its ubuntu and windows compatible
[18:03] <newbie01> ?
[18:03] <rooisto47> can anyone help me use "evolution" behind university proxy (no authentification)  I did the proxy setting in evolution but it still don't work (infos: proxy address -> http://172.17.1.10:8080, nmap -PN 172.17.1.10 -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/592710/) :s please help
[18:03] <newbie01> picbin? or something
[18:04] <xplat> xkill failed me :)
[18:04] <prome> i_is_broke:  have u seen the post in the forrum
[18:04] <Juv1228> prome: no, i run my physical install of ubuntu (that is on my physical HDD) inside windows
[18:04] <xplat> * :(
[18:04] <Userx7> Dr_Willis: obviously missing something. how do i just run it?
[18:04] <UbuntuFanatic> Back.
[18:04] <UbuntuFanatic> rooisto47,
[18:04] <UbuntuFanatic> did you put it as a HTTP proxy?
[18:04] <UbuntuFanatic> (in evolution)?
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> Userx7 just   'chmod +x whatever.bin' and './whatever.bin' is all i had to do.
[18:04] <erUSUL> rooisto47: an http proxy can't handle opo3 or imap connections afaik
[18:04] <UbuntuFanatic> @Everybody: Does anybody here use "Wakoopa?"
[18:04] <prome> Juv1228:  can u say me how to do that?
[18:04] <newbie01> what is the website you can upload temp .jpgs to
[18:05] <newbie01> ?
[18:05] <erUSUL> pop*
[18:05] <prome> i am a newbie
[18:05] <erUSUL> !screenshot
[18:05] <UbuntuFanatic> social.wakoopa.com, I quite enjoy it.
[18:05] <UbuntuFanatic> It's a social network for us geeks. :P
[18:05] <rooisto47> UbuntuFanatic: yes !
[18:05] <Userx7> Dr_Willis: yep. it won't make it executable for me :/
[18:05] <grkblood13> is anyone running snare of an ubuntu build newer than 7.1
[18:05] <UbuntuFanatic> rooisto47, ;O
[18:05] <UbuntuFanatic> PM me your profile.
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> Userx7:  its not on a vfat/ntfs filesystem is it?
[18:05] <Juv1228> prome: all you need is some way to run a VM that supports using a physical disc for its OS
[18:05] <Juv1228> then just hit 'go'
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> Userx7:  check who is the owner of the file also.
[18:05] <xplat> what does it mean when a window isn't seen by xkill?
[18:06] <Juv1228> I use VMWare Workstation, but there are free alternatives out there
[18:06] <Userx7> Dr_Willis: yeah ntfs partition are where my dls are stored. will copy it to ~ now
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> Virtualbox Docs have very Strong warnings against using a Physical disk   as its os disks.
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> Userx7:  thats the issue then.
[18:06] <Userx7> Dr_Willis: Cheers!
[18:06] <xplat> does that mean compiz is drawing the window?
[18:07] <usuario> ola
[18:07] <xplat> Dr_Willis: unfortunately my experience is that virtualbox is poop.
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> Compiz is the window maanger. it manages the windows and  how they get organized. and the borders are handled by the window-decorator.
[18:07] <Kicked> hi! can someone tell me how do update my gcc to the latest 4.6.0?
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> xplat:  ive had no issues with it.
[18:07] <prome> i_is_broke:  have u checked the post
[18:07] <UbuntuFanatic> rooisto47, what is your name on there?
[18:07] <i_is_broke> prome, im reading it now.
[18:07] <sympt0m> xplat, ive never had any problems wth virtualbox
[18:08] <rooisto47> UbuntuFanatic: didn't get the "PM me your profile" you mean private discussion ?
[18:08] <xplat> Dr_Willis: for me it kept freezing
[18:08] <UbuntuFanatic> Yeah
[18:08] <UbuntuFanatic> Private message.
[18:08] <omni> Question about the Auto-hide Ubuntu Panel. I've managed to hide the panel, however i cannot unhide it. I see the "Application / Places / System /" but cannot click on any of it. Can anyone help me get it back?
[18:08] <rooisto47> ok
[18:08] <usuario>  olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[18:08] <usuario> .lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqjshxdvc
[18:08] <xplat> Dr_Willis: i don't think i'd call an inability to properly use a physical disk a good sign either
[18:09] <rooisto47> UbuntuFanatic: my name is rooisto47
[18:09] <UbuntuFanatic> okay.
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> xplat:  it can use them.. it just gives very STRONG warnings that it is not a good idea.
[18:09] <aXs> Peace at home, peace in the world.
[18:09] <i_is_broke> prome, did you try the cold boot option with the eth0 cord unplugged?
[18:09] <aXs> Our great ideal is to raise our nation to highest standars of civilization and porsperity.
[18:09] <xplat> Dr_Willis: anyway i know what compiz is, and what it generally does, i'm just trying to figure out what is popping up this annoying box on my screen and xkill's inability to destroy it makes me think compiz might be drawing it
[18:10] <prome> i_is_broke:  i did but of no use
[18:10] <rooisto47> UbuntuFanatic: as I'm using the freenode online irc service I'm not sure we can talk privately (I don't who anyway)
[18:10] <xplat> Dr_Willis: i.e. a compiz plugin drawing it with no separate x client behind that
[18:10] <rooisto47> (mean don't see how ^^)
[18:11] <Kicked> Hello, does anyone know how I can update my gcc to the latest 4.6?
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> Kicked:  via a PPA or source.
[18:11] <i_is_broke> prome, well he walked you threw most of what i would of too, so im really not going to be able to help much. maybe someone else in here is able too. now in the post you didnt put a password in where it said too. but it is there right.
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> !latest
[18:11] <maco> Kicked: by compiling it
[18:12] <Kicked> yeah, thought so and my horns are so green when it comes to building stuff :) guess i'll give it a go :)
[18:12] <prome> right i_is_broke
[18:12] <maco> Kicked: keep in mind that if you change your default gcc to a new version, building kernel modules for the running kernel will fail (kernel & modules have to use same gcc version)
[18:12] <i_is_broke> prome, well good luck then. hope it works out for you.
[18:12] <Kicked> sweet! so basically if i apt-get update an&& apt-get upgrade that should be enough for the most part?
[18:13] <misha> it is possible to use grep for string not for file?
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> misha:  clarify what you mean.
[18:13] <BlackDragonTechy> You might want to add a sudo to that Kicked.
[18:13] <prome> actually servicename is a pretty old problem with no solution in ubuntu as i have googled through for it's solution i_is_broke
[18:13] <Kicked> BlackDragonTechy, yeah :P
[18:14] <misha> Dr_Willis: lets say i have string: home/misha I want to check if there is shalsh (/) at the beginning or not
[18:14] <Kicked> exit
[18:14] <Kicked> err
[18:14] <prome> is there any one you can refer who can help i_is_broke
[18:14] <aeon-ltd> Kicked: you need a forward slash
[18:15] <omni> Can anyone help me me reloading or "un-hiding" the "Task Bar" Panel in Ubuntu 10.10?
[18:15] <Kicked> aeon-ltd, yeah :P forgot about that one :)
[18:15] <i_is_broke> prome, try checking with someone in #linux-hardware
[18:16] <aeon-ltd> omni: restore to default or just want a extra panel?
[18:16] <misha> Dr_Willis: I mean I want to check if the string if full path or not, if the string is my/path I want to make it ~/my/path
[18:16] <prome> ok i_is_broke
[18:16] <i_is_broke> or ask, dr.willis, if he knows of a better place to check. hes more familure with stuff like this.
[18:17] <erUSUL> misha: if [[ $path = /* ]]; then echo "full path"; fi
[18:17] <misha> erUSUL it should be == no?
[18:17] <omni> aeon-ltd, i'm trying to restore the panel
[18:18] <erUSUL> misha: = or == both work
[18:18] <myrmidette> I can't connect to a wifi network which worked 3 hours ago
[18:18] <erUSUL> misha: one is a char shorter ;P
[18:18] <omni> aeon-ltd, i "auto-hide" the panels and now they do not come back.. they are visually there, but no response when i click on them. (left or right click)
[18:18] <myrmidette> the little wheel in networkmanager is spinning but it won't connect
[18:19] <aeon-ltd> omni: iirc theres a tab attached to them isn't there that brings them back, if that doesn't work then i'd try to reproduce that problem then report as a bug
[18:19] <xplat> what's a good place to post a screenshot?
[18:20] <aeon-ltd> !screenshot | xplat
[18:20] <flopex> xplat, post a link to your screenshot
[18:20] <myrmidette> ethernet to the same router works
[18:20] <misha> erUSUL: if I do $path != /* it's possible?
[18:21] <erUSUL> yes
[18:21] <Chilaquiles> My computer doesn't go to suspend mode, everytime I want to suspend I have to do it twice
[18:21] <Chilaquiles> the first time I select suspend my computer just shows a black screen and enter a password box
[18:22] <Chilaquiles> then I have to log back in and try suspend one more time
[18:22] <Chilaquiles> and then it suspends, any ideas?
[18:22] <omni> aeon-ltd, This is not with IIRC, it is with Ubuntu?
[18:22] <Paulo39> hi there
[18:22] <myrmidette> I'll just ask every 10 minutes
[18:22] <rajo> i need help i have installed ubuntu 10.10 WUBI and i don't have sound help?
[18:22] <LjL> omni: IIRC means "if i remember correctly"
[18:22] <Paulo39> when do you think firefox 4 will be available in general repos of ubuntu?
[18:23] <misha> erUSUL: sorry again hh, ./script.sh: line 10: [: too many arguments
[18:23] <misha> erUSUL: if [ $dirins != /* ] ; then dirins="~/$dirins"; fi;
[18:23] <omni> aeon-ltd, oh... sorry, dont chat much any more..  I've tried looking for any "slider" buttons that bring back the hidden buttons, to no avail, i've also looked for a command that would re-load it. Also, i cannot make any panels to "recreate" it :(
[18:23] <flopex> Paulo39, it's available in 11.04
[18:23] <erUSUL> misha: you are running the script with /bin/sh which in ubuntu is not bash
[18:23] <Rajo> i don't have sound on ubuntu 10.10 ???
[18:23] <erUSUL> misha: run it with bash
[18:24] <xplat> http://imagebin.org/147636
[18:24] <Cody> my Kubutnu box won't load Xserver. :(
[18:24] <Paulo39> flopex, in older distros
[18:24] <misha> erUSUL: it's only the name of file, at the top of it I wrote #!/bin/bash
[18:25] <erUSUL> misha: how did you run it?
[18:25] <misha> ./script.sh
[18:25] <aeon-ltd> omni: iirc - If I Recall Correctly
[18:25] <erUSUL> misha: you have to use [[ ]] not  [ ]
[18:25] <Paulo39> my question is about when will it be available in official repositories
[18:25] <misha> one sec
[18:25] <erUSUL> misha: they are not the same
[18:26] <misha> erUSUL: can you tell me what the diffrents?
[18:26] <Paulo39> my version is 10.04
[18:26] <xplat> Chilaquiles: that has happened to me, but not often enough that i needed to figure it out, sorry :(
[18:26] <flopex> xplat, what about a restart?
[18:26] <misha> erUSUL: and thanks, it works
[18:27] <erUSUL> misha: from the faboulous bashfaq in #bash --> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/031
[18:27] <lluvia_> is there known probems with grub and windows after installing ubuntu?
[18:27] <xplat> flopex: non-solution even if it works.  i can't just restart my whole system every time something like this happens.
[18:28] <misha> erUSUL: cool, thanks for the link
[18:28] <flopex> xplat, do you know what application is generating this box?
[18:30] <xplat> flopex: the only information i have as to what is generating it: it happened when i plugged in an external monitor and opened Display prefs (don't know which one of those triggered it) and xkill won't kill it
[18:30] <cory_> Hey, can anyone help me out with adding authentication to postfix smtp server?
[18:31] <lesniak_> hello
[18:31] <rajo> hi i can't hear sound on my ubuntu 10.10 WUBI
[18:31] <xplat> (another reason restart won't do: if it happens when i plug in an external monitor, what if i need to give a presentation with this laptop?  i can't give a professional presentation with this derpy box ...)
[18:31] <myrmidette> I can't connect to a wifi network which worked 3 hours ago, the little wheel in networkmanager is spinning but it won't connect, but ethernet to the same router works. rebooting the comp and router didn't solve the problem :(
[18:31] <misha> erUSUL: last newbie question :P get the home folder, how? (not ~)
[18:32] <lesniak_> lol
[18:32] <misha> I always forget it
[18:32] <aeon-ltd> rajo: check everything? the source, volume settings, speakers?
[18:32] <xplat> misha: $HOME?
[18:32] <misha> lol yes thanks
[18:32] <erUSUL> misha: $HOME ?
[18:33] <misha> yep

[18:35] <misha> soon i'll and the installation script i'm writing, anyone want to check it and give me some tips how to make it better? :D
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> xplat:  thats from the monitors settings tool. I seem to recall seeing that when its identifying each display. But im using nvidia - so I dont normally use that tool
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> xplat:  systemn -> perferances -> monitors    On my ati box. shows that at the top left.
[18:37] <rajo> aeon-ltd what to check can you tell me exatly
[18:38] <misha> bash supports goto statement?
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> bash has all sorts of things.. but i  dont recall seeing a 'goto' like basic does...
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> You can call functions..
[18:38] <erUSUL> misha: no; why it should? it has functions
[18:38] <xplat> Dr_Willis: i don't have 'Monitors' under prefs
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> xplat:  it may be called somthing else.  i recall it getting rename in the last release or befor that.
[18:39] <misha> erUSUL: it just a lot question and to make each question a function it's not so good
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> xplat:  its the tool where you set your res. and a few other settings.
[18:39] <erUSUL> misha: make one after the other why you need goto or functions?
[18:40] <rajo> what to do can't play sound on ubuntu 10.10 WUBI

[19:17] <misha> erUSUL: i've removed the [ ] and still i'm getting the error

[19:18] <ajjendan> hello
[19:18] <ubuntu> anyone got any suggestions on how i might revive an old compaq proliant 1500 using ubuntu server 10.04 if possible ?
[19:18] <damno> why are some nicks in bright yello?
[19:18] <erUSUL> damno: the ones that address you
[19:19] <Sherlock> oh sorry...here it is : TL-WR340GD
[19:19] <iceroot> damno: because they are talking to you
[19:19] <erUSUL> !who | damno
[19:19] <Sherlock> tp link
[19:19] <MPX> erUSUL:  Is there no other way then to copy all 1000 files to the same folder?
[19:19] <erUSUL> MPX: find will traverse all files and folders beneath folder/
[19:20] <misha> erUSUL: nevermind, I forgot to write esac. the problem wasn't because the while
[19:20] <erUSUL> MPX: you have all the files under some common folder like Music? or some such ?
[19:20] <erUSUL> ubuntu: install it in the machine see how it goes?
[19:20] <MPX> erUSUL:  I have all the folders under the "Music" folder. There are about 300 different folders, with different subfolders named after the album.
[19:21] <ilea> who knows a good messenger aplication with file transfer suport and audio/video calling?
[19:21] <kwtm> misha: It never is.  For example, if you forget the esac, then sh/bash doesn't know it's a problem until much further when it realizes it's not part of the case any more.  That's why when you keep saying "the problem is on line 140" ... well, it isn't.
[19:21] <erUSUL> MPX: then this should work « find Music/ -type f ! -name '*.mp3' -execdir prename 's/$/\.mp3/' {} + »
[19:21] <damno> ilea: empathy. the one that comes installed.
[19:22] <ohsix> derp
[19:22] <kwtm> MPX: what erUSUL said.  But you may want to try inserting the word "echo" after -execdir and before prename, to see what WOULD happen if you run that.
[19:22] <erUSUL> MPX: again; try first the command in a copy of one of the folders
[19:22] <ilea> ok thanks i have kiwi linux and pidgin was the default
[19:22] <MPX> erUSUL:  Sorry, the command ran but did not change any extensions. :(
[19:22] <kwtm> erUSUL: Nice use of chevrons to delimit the command. :)
[19:22] <erUSUL> MPX: also keep in mind that if you have other files like covers ( *.jpg ) etc... they will be renamed too
[19:23] <thevishy> does rysnc copy already copied data ?
[19:23] <dotlegend> how do i point a folder to a different location? my desktop is pointed to /home
[19:23] <kwtm> thevishy: No, rsync is smart about that.
[19:23] <thevishy> thanks
[19:23] <MPX> erUSUL:  I just have music in that folder, no cover art. The command did not change the extensions however
[19:23] <kwtm> thevishy: In fact, if PART of the file is already copied, rsync knows to copy just the PART of the file that it needs.
[19:23] <thevishy> aah
[19:23] <erUSUL> MPX: worked here in a quick test
[19:23] <MPX> Also, sorry for bad english in case I don't make myself understandable.
[19:23] <kwtm> MPX: What happened when you put    find Music/ -type f ! -name '*.mp3' -execdir echo prename 's/$/\.mp3/' {} +       ?
[19:23] <royb33> hey
[19:24] <Scunizi> Is there an rtf to txt converter available?
[19:24] <kwtm> MPX: (with the echo included?)
[19:24] <kwtm> Scunizi: Yes.  Abiword
[19:24] <MPX> Nothing the first two times I tried it
[19:24] <royb33> i am not able to get on phpmyadmin's webpage
[19:24] <txomon> hi all, I have problems with setting an app using SETUID bit... anyone knows about it?
[19:24] <ilea> what linux is more stable and faster and good betwen kiwi linux, ubuntu 10.10 and ubuntu 11.04?
[19:24] <kwtm> Scunizi: I assume you are looking for a command-line program.  Abiword can be used as a commandline file converter.
[19:24] <MPX> Opened up a terminal and tried it a third time
[19:24] <Scunizi> kwtm: I was hoping for a cli something.. I got an email that I know probably is infected with whatever... I'm just curious what's in it but didn't want to open it.
[19:24] <MPX> Guess what, it works. Thanks alot erUSUL :)
[19:24] <ilea> kiwi linux 10.08
[19:24] <erUSUL> MPX: no problem
[19:25] <royb33> i tried dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin but it dint work
[19:25] <kwtm> MPX: If nothing happened whne you put the line with the ... oh, it works. :)
[19:25] <Scunizi> kwtm: how do I use abiword on cli to convert?
[19:25] <royb33> after the config i was  still not able
[19:25] <kwtm> Scunizi: I think you mean a command line.  One moment, I posted this already.  Let me search the web for my posting.
[19:25] <Paddy_NI> MPX: This is where gnome-commander comes in very handy
[19:25] <erUSUL> !info unrtf
[19:25] <Scunizi> kwtm: yea.. cli, command line, terminal.. to me their all pretty much the same :)
[19:25] <MPX> Learnt a new command today. Learn something new every day.
[19:25] <kwtm> Scunizi: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/a-doc-rtf-converter-57760/#post3306313

[19:26] <Scunizi> kwtm: thanks.. I"ll check it out.
[19:26] <kwtm> Scunizi:   abiword --to=NameOfFileToBeCreated.html NameOfOriginalFile.rtf    It will go by extensions.

[19:27] <txomon> fission6, add it to admin group
[19:27] <erUSUL> txomon: is not a script
[19:27] <txomon> fission6, adduser <username> admin
[19:28] <erUSUL> fission6: sudo adduser user admin
[19:28] <txomon> erUSUL, so it has to be a real executable?
[19:28] <craigbass1976> I'm having a time of it with postfix...  Any experts in here?  I'm running on a lucid server.  Bind, apache, MySQL all seem fine, but postfix is not.  I'm getting failed logins when I try to set up thunderbird to check the mail, and have it set up to do virtual domains with MySQL
[19:28] <erUSUL> correct

[19:29] <Scunizi> kwtm: worked great!  the email was a new twist on "Fed. Republic of Nigeria".. has money stuck in an account and wants money with a promise of 10 fold return on investment just for helping out.. LOL!
[19:30] <txomon> fission6, sure, check by doing this "cat /etc/group"
[19:30] <erUSUL> fission6: huh? is this an ubuntu system?
[19:30] <txomon> fission6, if it doesnt appear there... then you don't have ubuntu
[19:30] <LorgonJortle>  Ever since setting up dual monitors on my laptop, whenever I don't have my other monitor plugged in, my laptop monitor has crappy resolution. How would I fix this?
[19:30] <craigbass1976> I'm also getting an eror in one of the mail logs Access denied for user 'mail_admin'@'localhost' but I've got the right username and password in every config file I can think of...

[19:31] <txomon> fission6, "cat /etc/sudoers"
[19:31] <txomon> fission6, tell what you see there
[19:31] <Pici> fission6: Linode's Ubuntu image isn't setup like most normal Ubuntu server installs.  Let me get you a link to do the basic setup to get it to that point.
[19:31] <erUSUL> fission6: adm is another thing afaik... you will have to ask linode support.
[19:32] <erUSUL> fission6: listen to Pici
[19:32] <sllide> hi?
[19:32] <txomon> sllide, ask
[19:32] <rhizmoe> hi all.

[19:32] <royb33> hey
[19:32] <Pici> fission6: This guide is a little old, but it should work just fine: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/27/notes-from-setting-up-ubuntu-server-on-linode/
[19:32] <sllide> txomon: the gui wont show up of netbook remix
[19:32] <rhizmoe> i'm having trouble with 10.10 and nvidia. no window manager (though i get desktop). removing nvidia drivers hasn't helped.
[19:32] <Pici> fission6: Also, linode's support is in #linode on oftc
[19:33] <craigbass1976> Is 127.0.0.1 the same as localhost to mysql?
[19:33] <royb33> rhizmoe rebuild xorg?

[19:34] <dantix> hi all, I'm on MAverik trying to compile OCFS2. Wher try to configure see: configure: error: Could not determine kernel version. Uname -r says 2.6.35-22-server. How can I workaround this issue?

[19:42] <royb33> it does not run so i need to reconfigure it
[19:42] <Pici> fission6: Yes, there is a line on that page that says you need to add  « %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL » to your sudoers file using visudo.
[19:42] <fission6> "is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported." Pici

[19:44] <rcconf> thank
[19:44] <rcconf> s
[19:44] <royb33> xserver is your window system btw
[19:44] <neofight> or better yet, why would a window still show in x but not have any reference in ps -a
[19:44] <fission6> ah got it thanks Pici
[19:45] <rhizmoe> "the login keyring did not get unlocked" ...bad use of passive voice

[19:45] <mello> hey! if I upgrade my 10.10 to 11.04 beta can i still update to the real release without doing a new installation?
[19:46] <royb33> aah :D
[19:46] <Seveas> mello, yes
[19:46] <rhizmoe> typically i do not run a wm on unix at all

[19:46] <backdoorBreaker> hey guys, I think I've installed PHP twice, is there a way I can test if I have?
[19:46] <royb33> opload some php?
[19:46] <rhizmoe> royb33: well i've been asking questions about your setup...
[19:46] <aeon-ltd> backdoorBreaker: you can't if you did both via apt
[19:46] <mello> ty
[19:46] <Kindari> A computer in my office died, we had software raid on it, one of the drives isnt showing at all. Trying to recover data off the other, when trying to mount it says unknown filesystem "linux_raid_member"
[19:47] <Kindari> It is (supposed to be) a ext4 filesystem, any idea on how I can mount it?
[19:47] <erUSUL> Kindari: is raid1?
[19:47] <Pici> [B[B[Bbikes
[19:47] <Pici> er... wrong window :/
[19:47] <Kindari> yes raid1
[19:47] <Seveas> Pici aka Freddy Mercury :)
[19:48] <royb33> rhizmoe : oh sorry didnt notice it
[19:48] <Sherlock> how can i port forward a router tp-link tl-wr340gd ?
[19:48] <royb33> rhizmoe : well i run a web/game server at an old laptop
[19:48] <backdoorBreaker> aeon-ltd, Hey PHP came with a deb package, then I installed php0cli via apt-get. Problem's now my system is using the wrong cli :*(
[19:48] <backdoorBreaker> IS there a way I can change this?
[19:48] <erUSUL> Sherlock: consult the router docs or portforwarding.com
[19:48] <Seveas> Sherlock, consult your documentation. This channel is for ubuntu support.
[19:49] <Sherlock> ok, thanks
[19:49] <nick87720z> hi there
[19:50] <erUSUL> Kindari: see here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/recovering-data-from-remaining-raid-1-disk-723225/
[19:50] <aeon-ltd> backdoorBreaker: remove the wrong one then it should fall back right?
[19:50] <backdoorBreaker> aeon-ltd, hopefully, but I don't know how
[19:51] <nick87720z> Can anyone hint, how to install manually downloaded emacs *.el extensions in ubuntu? I could not find special info, how to do it, mmy attempts are useless. I have hideshowvis.el downloaded, for emacs 23.2 from ppa, which doesn't have this file.
[19:52] <erUSUL> nick87720z: usually the y explain it in the *.el file itself. in the eader comments
[19:52] <jessicaBR> hello all, I have an Asus laptop and have installed Windows 7 and Ubuntu Maverick. I would like to ask you if you have experienced some crashes with ubuntu. Also, when I reboot to windows after using ubuntu, I get bluescreen while booting to windows...
[19:52] <carmen> beg my pardon, I've got another problem
[19:52] <neofight> join #backtrack-linux
[19:52] <neofight> whoopz
[19:53] <nick87720z> erUSUL: yeah, i found instruction. Many thanks :)
[19:53] <carmen> with skype, the person I call can't see me, but I can clearly see the other person
[19:53] <aeon-ltd> backdoorBreaker: sudo apt-get remove nameofthephpapp (should be like every other application)
[19:53] <carmen> built-in webcam seems work well, with other programs
[19:54] <carmen> I've checked settings of Skype and everything seems ok
[19:55] <backdoorBreaker> aeon-ltd, Thanks but won't that remove both of my PHP instillations, I just want to remove the spare
[19:55] <txomon> sllide, sry I was afk ... try with the ctrl+alt+backspace, if it doesnt happen anything, then, try by in the logon screen (the graphical screen) to switch to Gnome desktop
[19:55] <txomon> sllide, I hope that works
[19:55] <rhizmoe> "xfix?" this is a real thing?
[19:57] <sudipta> is it safe to install kde 4.6 in ubuntu 10.10?
[19:57] <aeon-ltd> backdoorBreaker: no the one installed via a deb is removed by dpkg usually
[19:58] <daniel3> Im using KDE 4.6 in Ubuntu decently.
[19:58] <daniel3> Only thing Ive noticed since upgrading, was my kernel cores when I plug my AC power, but that is probably unrelated.
[19:58] <bodai> hi there.network share is not working.I installed samba,but i can't see anything in the places->network
[19:59] <daniel3> I believe it would require manual configuration.
[20:00] <NerwenGreen> Hi again. I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 and the options are confusing me. There's a screen asking me to allocate drive space on a 500 gb drive between /dev/sdb1 (ntfs) and /dev/sdb2 (ext4). Right now it's at 50-50 (250 gb for each). How do I figure out where I want the dividing line?
[20:01] <tuxx1> NerwenGreen: well U must do 2 partitions, so there will be the dividing line, U dont have to do it manually
choose manual partition
[20:02] <txomon> bye!
[20:02] <jessicaBR> hello all, I have an Asus laptop and have installed Windows 7 and Ubuntu Maverick. I would like to ask you if you have experienced some crashes with ubuntu. Also, when I reboot to windows after using ubuntu, I get bluescreen while booting to windows...
[20:02] <BluesKaj> NerwenGreen, you obviously partitioned the drive already so install ubuntu on ext4  , if you have more than 4G ram then a swap is probly not needed
[20:03] <j_> ?
[20:03] <ubuntu> jessicaBR, did you run defrag in windows before you repartitioned
[20:03] <zim> Hi all. Trying to setup a raid 1 with 2 x 2TB using the full 2TB in one partition. ext4 btw
[20:03] <NerwenGreen> I have 3.37 gb ram. The computer has two drives in it. WinXP is on one (C:), and I want to put ubuntu on the other.
[20:03] <zim> it is showing up as unusable
[20:04] <zim> any ideas anyone?
[20:04] <jessicaBR> ubuntu, I used ubuntu live CD to create partitions and then installed Windows in 2 partitions and Ubuntu in other 2  (OS + Swap)
[20:05] <vacho> guys!
[20:05] <vacho> can I run ubuntu completely from a USB?
[20:05] <ubuntu> have you updated ubuntu ? and i would run a disk check in windows as well
[20:06] <ubuntu> vacho, yes, im running live now with no hdd
[20:06] <Starminn> !pendrivelinux | vacho
[20:06] <vacho> ubuntu: is it any sloewr?
[20:06] <vacho> slower*
[20:06] <ubuntu> and my system has been on for about 4 days without a reboot and i have installed other software
[20:06] <Kicked> I was messing aroudn with compiz and now my alt+tab doesn't work any idea why not? :)
[20:06] <backdoorBreaker> aeon-ltd, I ran apt-get remove php5-cli and it removed. ty
[20:06] <vacho> is it faster to run from USB ?
[20:07] <Starminn> !usb | vacho (second link)
[20:07] <rshakin> hey how come my dual opterons cpu is showing only 1000mgz when i know they are 2.4ghz
[20:07] <pstewart> vacho: no
[20:07] <rshakin> when i do cat /proc/cpuinfo
[20:08] <pstewart> rshakin: does it increase when the machine is under load?
[20:08] <rshakin> pstewart: i dunno... i have quite a bit of stuff running
[20:09] <vacho> pstewart: is it a lot slower running from usb?
[20:09] <MK`> How do I get a windows network to show in the Network place? It randomly does not appear
[20:09] <rshakin> pstewart: but i can't say it's loaded... i guess i should try to load it up with something... any ideas
[20:10] <pstewart> vacho: well you have to consider that you are limited by the speed of the USB bus, which is significantly slower than the sata bus, so it will definitely be slower when booting and loading apps for the first time
[20:10] <rhizmoe> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ...this is what it's come to
[20:10] <DeJQit> Hello everybody!
[20:10] <DeJQit> How I can set bouderate on com port form terminal?
[20:10] <DeJQit> Please
[20:11] <rams_pandu> hi all, when i am trying to connect to internet through my modem, I am getting the following error:"FATAL: Module ppp_generic not found.". how to solve it?
[20:11] <ubuntu__> siema
[20:11] <vacho> I see all this fancy ubuntu demo's on youtube...how come mine does not look like that?
[20:11] <rhizmoe> com port? maybe sysctl
[20:11] <oCean> !pl | ubuntu__
[20:11] <pstewart> rshakin: CPU scaling might be turned on.. but you can try stresslinux.org
[20:11] <rshakin> pstewart: thank you.. will check it out
[20:11] <solidslash> is there any specific channel for natty development?
[20:11] <pstewart> rshakin: np
[20:11] <DeJQit> no device /dev/ttyS1 for example
[20:11] <Starminn> vacho: Link us to what you're talking about?
[20:12] <carmen> can't anybody help me?
[20:12] <ubuntu__> polska??:
[20:12] <Starminn> solidslash: I know there's #ubuntu+1 for Natty support. Ask in there for the dev channel. They'd know.
[20:12] <vacho> Starminn: ok
[20:12] <carmen> i've tried http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php?topic=379661.0 this but it doesn't work
[20:12] <solidslash> Starminn, thanks
[20:13] <Starminn> solidslash: Yep/
[20:13] <xro2> hi, somebody already installed visio 2010 in ubuntu10.10 with wine?
[20:14] <Kindari> Alright, still trying to bring back my drive. I don't have any spare drives right now to rebuild the array (raid1). When trying to mount /dev/md0 it says wrong fs type. Any other ideas?
[20:14] <Starminn> xro2: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=31
[20:15] <DeJQit> somebody help me.. please
[20:15] <mehdi> how can i install apps to my ipod?
[20:15] <Starminn> !appdb | xro2 (For checking compatibility with WINE applications...)
[20:15] <Igramul> Hi, how can I disable the automatic start of inputlircd at system start?
[20:15] <benjaminearle> holy crap.  I havent used IRC in 15years
[20:16] <No-Nick-Name> lol
[20:16] <Igramul> benjaminearle, it's still here ;)
[20:16] <solidslash> pretty much same here, lol
[20:16] <benjaminearle> looking for some advise on installing ubuntu on an older laptop for just web browsing and basic media
[20:16] <No-Nick-Name> benjaminearle, Congrats!!!
[20:16] <benjaminearle> thanks Tgramul
[20:16] <xro2> Starminn, thanks i didn't know it...
[20:16] <benjaminearle> pardon my fat fingers - they havent been thin in 15 y either
[20:17] <No-Nick-Name> !history shows all the typed commands.. how to use a specific history command?
[20:18] <NerwenGreen> Trying my question from a different direction... in a choice between ntfs and ext4, which side should get more room on the drive? i.e. what am I going to be using them for when I'm done?
[20:18] <benjaminearle> basically - is the netbook edition slimmed down to run faster, even on, say an old laptop, or should one just install the full version?
[20:18] <Sherlock> what's a good codec pack for ubuntu ?
[20:18] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, it depends.
[20:18] <rams_pandu> hi all, when i am trying to connect to internet through my modem, I am getting the following error:"FATAL: Module ppp_generic not found.". how to solve it?
[20:18] <NerwenGreen> Igramul: what does it depend on?
[20:18] <somewhereinthewi> hi everybody
[20:18] <erUSUL> Sherlock: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:19] <jessicaBR> ubuntu, I used ubuntu live CD to create partitions and then installed Windows in 2 partitions and Ubuntu in other 2  (OS + Swap), but still have some crashes... :-/
[20:19] <erUSUL> !codecs > Sherlock
[20:19] <Starminn> benjaminearle: It's not slimmer AFAIK. It's just got an interface that's nice for smaller screens.
[20:19] <pstewart> jessicaBR: have you tested your ram?
[20:19] <No-Nick-Name> history command ?
[20:19] <benjaminearle> thx Starminn.  Irt's only a 14" screen, so that may be beneficial
[20:19] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, it depends on what You will use more: Windows (ntfs) or Linux (ext4 or similar).
[20:20] <jessicaBR> pstewart, er..., is that the Memory Check?
[20:20] <Starminn> benjaminearle: It uses a custom interface called Unity which will be the default on all of their systems from now on anyway.
[20:20] <LorgonJortle> 'ello everyone.
[20:20] <neofight> I have a window open in x, its completely unresponsive, it doesn't show up in ps -a. how can I kill it?
[20:20] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, to be more specific: With which OS you have to keep more data.
[20:20] <Starminn> You could Google "Ubuntu Unity" to see demos of what it's like ot help decide.
[20:20] <NerwenGreen> Igramul: the eventual goal is to run a postgresql database on the ubuntu side.
[20:20] <erUSUL> neofight: xkill
[20:20] <pstewart> jessicaBR: yep, if you see red you have bad ram
[20:20] <benjaminearle> Starin, so one might as well install teh netbook version and get used to it?  Will the NB version support a DVD drive?
[20:20] <pstewart> jessicaBR: which could cause crashes in both os'es
[20:21] <somewhereinthewi> im trying the 11.04 beta. ive experienced some icon problems in panel but im writing because i want install greasemonkey from software center but dont see the install button to click
[20:21] <jessicaBR> can I do that test right now? Or do I have to reboot machine?
[20:21] <LorgonJortle> My resolution has been stuck pretty low since I unplugged my dual monitor, and it won't let my bring it back up unless my other monitor is plugged in. How can I fix this?
[20:21] <Starminn> benjaminearle: I won't be using Unity though. I'll be using something else.
[20:21] <rshakin> pstewart: ok the default instalation of xubuntu on opeteron does not install cpufreq daemon.... making the machine run at 1000mghz fix is to install the daemon... works just fine now thank you
[20:21] <Pici> No-Nick-Name: use !+the history number.  See man history for more help.
[20:21] <Pici> somewhereinthewi : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[20:21] <Starminn> !natty | somewhereinthewi
[20:21] <misha> anyone knows phpmyadmin channel? they have bug :D
[20:21] <pstewart> rshakin: cool, np
[20:21] <meganerdca> neofight: run xkill, then click on the unresponsive window
[20:21] <jessicaBR> pstewart, windows just only when previously used ubuntu
[20:21] <pstewart> jessicaBR: you need to reboot to test it
[20:21] <r000t> Is the floodbot open source?
[20:21] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, just for a database server, You do not need much space (approx. 10GB + the data to be stored in the DB).
[20:21] <Starminn> benjaminearle: It's just a desktop interface. Everything "Under the hood" is the same -- it's just that the way you interact with your computer is different.
[20:21] <No-Nick-Name> what is natty 11.04?
[20:21] <Pici> r000t: Not at this time.  Sorry :/
[20:22] <r000t> So there's no way I can get one on my network?
[20:22] <neofight> meganerdca ah thanks
[20:22] <benjaminearle> Thanks Starminn - been a great help. +1
[20:22] <jessicaBR> pstewart, btw, ubuntu also crashed a lot when installing the operating system
[20:22] <Pici> No-Nick-Name: thats the next version of Ubuntu, it will be released on April 28th.
[20:22] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, however, if You set up a dual-boot machine, postgres won't be running while You use linux.
[20:22] <meganerdca> No-Nick-Name: the new version of Ubuntu that will be released in a few weeks
[20:22] <No-Nick-Name> wow...
[20:22] <pstewart> jessicaBR: i would test your ram first and go from there
[20:22] <Fawzib> question: when I connect (or disconnect) a usb drive it automatically create (or deletes) an entry in /media is there a way to that from the console as well?
[20:22] <No-Nick-Name> i can upgrade ?
[20:22] <Starminn> benjaminearle: Whether that way is "better" or "worse" is for you to decide, but it's just different. Most people like it, especially for netbooks. (Thus "Netbook Remix") http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook
[20:22] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, if it's just for trying postgres, consider VirtualBox.
[20:22] <Starminn> benjaminearle: :) Sure thing
[20:23] <jessicaBR> pstewart, ok, going to do that right now! Will you be here for long? I'd like to feedback you
[20:23] <benjaminearle> i also find it personally funny that every othe rtyope of chat is blocked from teh office - guess they forgot about goo dol IRC
[20:23] <No-Nick-Name> Great work ubuntu !!!
[20:23] <pstewart> jessicaBR: i'm stepping out for about 20 mins, but should be back after that
[20:23] <Link_> hello
[20:23] <Pici> r000t: The source isn't available, and its not a binary that we could distribute, so no :/ There was a time when we were going to prepare for its release.. I'll check up on that and see what the hold up was.
[20:24] <jessicaBR> pstewart, Ok. I hope I see you soon then. And thanks for helping.
[20:24] <Starminn> benjaminearle: some of the mroe savvy people in here will actually open up SSH connections to remotely conenct to their home PCs and IRC from their, via the home PC from the office. ;
[20:24] <Starminn> ;)
[20:24] <pstewart> jessicaBR: np
[20:24] <Starminn> benjaminearle: There's just no stopping IRC
[20:24] <rams_pandu> hi all, when i am trying to connect to internet through my modem, I am getting the following error:"FATAL: Module ppp_generic not found.". how to solve it?
[20:25] <benjaminearle> I <would> do that, but too much of  apain to go through teh home PC - all teh hosting services are blocked (they figured that one out)
[20:25] <NerwenGreen> Igramul: why wouldn't it run postgres if it's a dual boot? Does it matter if the two OSes are on separate disks?
[20:26] <benjaminearle> i assume i can download the ubuntu files to a cd and load them to the home machine from CD - is it bootable?
[20:26] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, postgres will rune fine - while Your box is running linux.
[20:26] <Starminn> benjaminearle: Yes. http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download Shows you how
[20:26] <Starminn> benjaminearle: In fact, you can "try it" from the CD before installign evem.
[20:26] <Starminn> installing even*
[20:27] <MSI``> is there a way I can sync my itouch to ubuntu 9.04?
[20:27] <benjaminearle> website mentions usb drive - i assume CD will work also?
[20:27] <NerwenGreen> Igramul: okay, that's what I was hoping for. To run postgres in linux. :)
[20:27] <pr0ton_> MSI``, Rhythmbox
[20:27] <MSI``> or do I just have to go through wine installing itunes?
[20:28] <Starminn> benjaminearle: Yes. Most betbooks don't have CDs though. For CDs use this guide instead: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download (for the Desktop version)
[20:28] <backdoorBreaker> Anyone heard that Richard Stallman song - Free The Hackers (lame)
[20:28] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, take a look at virtualbox if You are working mostly in windows, though.
[20:28] <Starminn> netbooks* (Wow I'm fat fingering a lot)
[20:28] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, no need to re-partition Your disk.
[20:28] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, and You can use windows and linux simultanously.
[20:28] <benjaminearle> ah - there we go.  Thanks to all - i'm out
[20:28] <benjaminearle> \bye
[20:28] <Starminn> backdoorBreaker: You'll find a better audience in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:29] <nibyenool> greetings
[20:29] <kjcole> Is there a way to
[20:29] <N3> gnome 3 tw
[20:29] <N3> gnome 3 ftw
[20:29] <MSI``> pr0ton: I did that and selected "Scan removeable media" and nothing happened.
[20:29] <kjcole> Is there a way to "wake the CD" when it fails to show up in /dev?
[20:30] <nibyenool> anyone available to help with login issues
[20:30] <NerwenGreen> Igramul: huh, neat. Is that like VMware only open-source?
[20:30] <Igramul> NerwenGreen, exactly
[20:30] <lolmatic> hi, i set my gnome dock bar to be transparent but the date and time field and the application-places-sys menu are not transparent...
[20:31] <mehdi> do u guys know about iPod jailbreaking? :D
[20:31] <Fawzib> question: when I connect (or disconnect) a usb drive (MYDISK) it automatically creates (or deletes) a "/media/MYDISK" directory is there a way to that from the console as well so i can mount/umount? If i create the folder in "/media/MYDISK" ubuntu wont use it, will create a new "/media/MYDISK_"
[20:31] <MSI``> does anyone know how to sync the itouch in 9.04?
[20:31] <chaorain> Hey I'm trying to do a "Let's play" with a friend on Minecraft, and I'm trying to figure out a way to record both our screens and audio(Game and Voices), any recomendations on how to do this?
[20:31] <fission6> how do i add the path to my command prompt
[20:31] <kjcole> Never mind. My mistake. (Feeling sleepy and stupid today.)
[20:32] <MSI``> does anyone know how to sync the itouch in 9.04?
[20:33] <meganerd> fission6: http://www.google.ca/search?q=bash%20prompt
[20:33] <No-Nick-Name> is there any advance book for learning ubuntu?
[20:33] <thevishy> use it and learn it
[20:33] <Ben64> No-Nick-Name: you could check your local library, mine has some
[20:33] <MSI``> is there a way I can sync my itouch to ubuntu 9.04?
[20:33] <thevishy> there are no books required I would say - have you learnt windows using a book ?
[20:33] <kevin6888296> http://wiki.ubuntu.com and http://help.ubuntu.com for reference No-Nick-Name
[20:33] <Ben64> !ipod | MSI``
[20:34] <MSI``> how does itunes work on wine?
[20:35] <thevishy> Why use ITUNES
[20:35] <fission6> meganerd, do i have to put PS1="\u@\h \W> " in my .bashrc so it loads each time?
[20:36] <meganerd> fission6: yes
[20:36] <MSI``> thevishy: Cause its way better than going through alot of the shit the alternatives put you through to get this shit working.
[20:37] <thevishy> http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1647
[20:38] <aeon-ltd> MSI``: not very well, personally if you have license for windows just dualboot - yes its a hassle but at least it works, or better yet virtualise
[20:38] <No-Nick-Name>  i don see any problem with Wine
[20:38] <No-Nick-Name> its great
[20:39] <gaurav_help> how i use my cannon  printer in ubuntu 10.10
[20:40] <aeon-ltd> No-Nick-Name: with itunes though for use with ipods
[20:40] <MSI``> aeon: I've thought about just going Windows purely, I sorta got tired of windows for awhile but then Linux reminds me everytime why I run the other way when I approach it.
[20:40] <lavon> i need a music downloader fast that is like frostwire or ares any suggestions
[20:41] <aeon-ltd> lavon: fast is limited by your connection then the variables within that connection
[20:42] <misha> if [[ ! -e $insdir ]]
[20:42] <misha> it's possible guys?
[20:42] <Asad> What's the file that can has commands to be executed on resume from hibernate?
[20:42] <Pici> misha: #bash would be more on-topic for these sort of questions.
[20:42] <lavon> i just need a music downloader tha is like frostwire
[20:43] <MSI``> Most Linux progs try hard as hell to emulate some of the windows software but it'll never come close.
[20:43] <MSI``> =/
[20:43] <lavon> hello
[20:43] <meganerd> MSI``: wrong
[20:44] <misha> Pici: yea.. no one is thereOO
[20:44] <lavon> any suggestions people?
[20:45] <Pici> misha: It looks like you are getting answers there.
[20:45] <meganerd> MSI``: There is a very different perspective most of the time in the open source world.  Ardour does not really look like Cubase or Sonar, but I like the flow better
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> lavon: ok its all dependant, torrents limited by your connection and the seeders, http/ftp downloads limited by server and your connecrion
[20:46] <misha> insdir="/some/fake/dir"; if [[ ! -e $insdir ]] it's possible to do if like this guys?
[20:46] <lolmatic> i set my gnome dock bar to be transparent but the date and time field and the application-places-sys menu are not transparent...
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> lavon: no application is gonna squeeze more speed unless your router or firewall was limiting the speed
[20:47] <MSI``> I am too spoiled by pure GUI, but then thats why Windows will always have a huge base in compared to linux, meganerd.
[20:47] <Logan_> lavon: then use Frostwire
[20:47] <Pici> !ot
[20:47] <lolmatic> and when i set my 2nd panel to be upside it changes back to down without me clicking...
[20:47] <aeon-ltd> lavon: i would just use torrents at least they're resumable and more controllable than most other managers
[20:47] <lavon> im not asking about speed im asking a bout a music downloader
[20:47] <Logan_> Pici: hmm?
[20:47] <Pici> !piracy | lavon
[20:48] <MSI``> meganerd: linux requires half of the majority of things setup via command/text
[20:48] <aeon-ltd> lavon: sorry you should have really put some punctuation in :)
[20:48] <meganerd> MSI``: no it doesn't but this is a very OT discussion
[20:48] <Pici> MSI``: This channel is for support only, if you want have a discussion, #ubuntu-oftopic exists.
[20:48] <MSI``> Nah, this is it for me and linux. Later.
[20:48] <aeon-ltd> lavon: yeah just search in software center, or synaptics or just use frostwire
[20:49] <magpiie> ok peeps, major issue here with open office, i have half a 4000 word essay doen, computer locked up, i re booted and got this message saying that open office couldnt retriev the document, and it hasnt saved any of the auto saves. any help please

[20:57] <iceroot> zocco: yes, so what is the question?

[21:02] <FloodBot3> Vertigo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:02] <royb33> kicked, u should try the free ubuntu-server image
[21:02] <royb33> kicked, or ubuntu with the gui
[21:03] <royb33> but i'm gonna try bind my mysql server on my ip
[21:03] <Vertigo> okay i didnt mean to flood but itve explained the issues already and someone please help?
[21:03] <Kicked> royb33, thanks showing traffic going on were I wanted to see it :) with the iotop
[21:03] <blargg_> I checked System->Preferences->Appearance, Keyboard, and also gconf-editor, but found nothing to change keyboard tab behavior.
[21:04] <ethenheart> Hello people
[21:04] <Kicked> royb33, i'm using ubuntu with the gui now if all keeps this smooth I'd like to make this my primary OS really starting to enjoy "free"  kinda some cool stuff :)
[21:04] <Vertigo> ....
[21:04] <lolmatic> Vertigo: do you have a keyboard attached?
[21:04] <Vertigo> ive asked like four times can someone please help me
[21:04] <Vertigo> no
[21:04] <Vertigo> its a netbook
[21:04] <Vertigo> it has a keyboard on it
[21:04] <zocco> i would like to install Ubuntu on a Solid State drive and a regular drive, what is the best way to split the install across the drives?
[21:05] <lolmatic> Vertigo: does the  message appear in bios or during setup?
[21:05] <Vertigo> during setup
[21:05] <guntbert> Vertigo: please don't press <enter> so often, you are scrolling the window
[21:05] <lolmatic> can you select another keyboard?
[21:05] <lolmatic> with the mouse maybe?
[21:05] <ethenheart> I have a question. I am using ubuntu 9.04 [ yep its pretty old], and I cannot get anymore update, any solution for that? because, I have tested, 9.10 10.04 and 10.10 but, only 9.04 is quite stable on my hardware/machine. Please recommend.
[21:06] <Kicked> royb33, are you familiar with apache & bind?
[21:06] <pstewart> zocco: / on ssd, /home on sata?
[21:06] <lolmatic> zocco: filesystems for all relevant folders should be on the ssd.
[21:06] <lolmatic> and large collections of data should be on hard drive
[21:06] <guntbert> !9.04 | ethenheart
[21:06] <royb33> kicked only a bit with apache
[21:07] <blargg_> This is so frustrating. I cannot find any web pages about changing the keyboard tab behavior so that it only goes through text fields.
[21:07] <lampe2> i got a gwibber problem i dont added my accounts but the window with the messages is empty ;)
[21:07] <Vertigo> lolmatic, it doesnt give me an option it says a keyboard error and setup is done
[21:07] <Kicked> royb33, prehaps you can point me to a webby that was some great info on properly setting up a web server. We just fired our old sys admin because of some nonsense that isn't even worth writing int his channel :)
[21:08] <backdoorBreaker> Hey, I'm interested in the command line, what's the best way to go about using it? Is there a way I can force myself to, because I generally choose GUI over CLI
[21:08] <lolmatic> Vertigo: are you installing from a booted live system or did you select setup directly on boot?
[21:08] <guntbert> !ot | Kicked
[21:08] <Vertigo> i downloaded the netbook usb ubuntu
[21:08] <ethenheart> guntbert, thanks for letting me know, but I do know that, and my question is, newer version of ubuntu are not much stable for my machine. is there any possibilites to update my system?
[21:09] <guntbert> !serverguide | Kicked have a look
[21:09] <Vertigo> and put it on a usb stick and then booted from that
[21:09] <Kicked> guntbert, oh, thank you :0 i'll take a look
[21:09] <Vertigo> it loads up and stops immedaitely saying keyboard error
[21:09] <guntbert> ethenheart: I'm afraid, no - what are the problems?
[21:09] <itilious> anyone here know how to set the routes properly to communicate with computers on a VPN remote network?
[21:10] <lolmatic> Vertigo: does it do that before or after you could select the desired boot options?
[21:10] <ethenheart> I am concern about the security updates or fix's in older versions of the application I use.
[21:11] <guntbert> ethenheart: no, I was asking what is the problem with current versions of ubuntu?
[21:12] <lolmatic> omg
[21:12] <lolmatic> u talk to then then they disconnect via ping timeout and reset by peer -.-
[21:13] <guntbert> backdoorBreaker: start reading here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[21:13] <ethenheart> guntbert: 10.10 mplayer does not work, I tried every possible way for it, almost spend 11 hour over it, and I cannot switch user, I mean, if I logout one user then I could switch, if the current user is logged in, and I want to switch, the screen goes wild and they system hangs.
[21:14] <MK`> How do I get Ubuntu to connect to a windows share on the same network? It's not showing up...
[21:14] <backdoorBreaker> guntbert, thank you ive been looking for a good intro
[21:14] <guntbert> backdoorBreaker: :)
[21:15] <erUSUL> MK`: it is not showing in Places>Network>windows Network? tried Places>connect to server ?
[21:15] <guntbert> ethenheart: strange - but alas I cannot help you - sorry
[21:15] <Kicked> join #pol
[21:15] <Kicked> err
[21:15] <Asmodeus1> Is there an alternative way to enable software mixing? In Sound preferences the option is missing (there's actually no "sound" tab)... I'm on a Toshiba Satelite laptop, 64 bits.
[21:16] <neofight> so, I have a piece of software installed, I want to update it but I don't want both versions. Should I just uninstall the old version and install the new one? or is there a standard way to update
[21:16] <erUSUL> Asmodeus1: pulseaudio already does the mixing
[21:17] <MK`> erUSUL: it's not showing in Windows Network, no
[21:17] <erUSUL> neofight: how did you installed it?
[21:17] <erUSUL> MK`: and Places>connect to server? works?
[21:17] <neofight> it came installed, i'm using backtrack linux and the software is burpsuite
[21:17] <MK`> erUSUL: it works but doesn't allow me to write to it.
[21:18] <blargg_> Amazing, I'm not finding anything about keyboard tab key behavior online.
[21:18] <BluesKaj> !Backtracks | neofight
[21:19]  * itilious lost his penis
[21:19] <BluesKaj> !Backtrack | neofight
[21:19] <neofight> ah okay thanks :)
[21:21] <magpiie> i need help to recover a file lost when open office decided to freeze, lock up my system, and then couldnt recover the file after reboot
[21:22] <Asmodeus1> erUSUL: Ok... I have a problem ‌ running a java app (no sound). Is there any way to double check pulseaudio settings? Is there a room on this server for java support?
[21:22] <erUSUL> Asmodeus1: ##java ?
[21:23] <Asmodeus1> erUSUL: Hm yeah, simple works sometime:) Thanks!

[21:29] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, no errors in Ubuntu, just crash, screen completely stuck, and no response to input of any kind. In windows, just a bluescreen... :-/
[21:29] <magpiie> is there a specific irc channel for open office please?
[21:29] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  lies, every blue screen comes with an error message
[21:29] <TheEvilPhoenix> specifics are useful
[21:29] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, sorry, can't tell you. But I can restart it and check that aout
[21:30] <pstewart> jessicaBR: you'll be looking for the stop code on the windows blue screen

[21:30] <LjL> i'd like to hear whatever is coming into the microphone / line-in of my EeePC 901 in the speakers, but i can't quite find out how to do that in Maverick... (maybe it's just not possible with the EeePC's soundcard, i'm not sure)
[21:30] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  if it freezes, the system will explain reasoning
[21:30] <FoolishOwl> I've had the apparmor profile for firefox active, and it's objecting to launching Java applets. I'm wondering how to edit /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.firefox to allow Java applets to execute.
[21:31] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  the same issue may be causing the windows crash, so make note of what the system messages are saying from ctrl + alt + f1 during ubuntu's boot
[21:31] <FoolishOwl> I'm about ready to disable the apparmor profile for Firefox entirely. It's a pain.
[21:31] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, I'm already in ubuntu, and I get ubuntu crashes randomly
[21:31] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  ah, ever try seeing what the kernel messages are saying (they're put out into the tty located at ctrl + alt + f1)
[21:32] <ys0> bitches anyone can help me?
[21:32] <Guest34343> can anyone hook me up with the command to reset the panels, i tried finding online but the one i came across didnt work and it was multiple commands, seems i used to have one that did it all with one
[21:32] <TheEvilPhoenix> !language | ys0
[21:32] <Cpt_Zyph> ok i know im blind here but i have to be missing something... i know i can change the run lvls with telinit etc etc .. but im trying to walk a new user through and he would prefer to use the gnome GUI.. were does one chnage init lvls via gnome gui tools??? i must be blind im completly missing it
[21:32] <ys0> lol
[21:32] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, But when are those messages throne? I should check those messages after a crash?
[21:33] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  what are you doing just prior to the crash, might I ask>?
[21:33] <botcity> !runlevels | Cpt_Zyph
[21:33] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  or are they occurring on a completely random basis?
[21:33] <ys0> i will put my cock between stallman boobs
[21:33] <IdleOne> !language | ys0
[21:33] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, completely random basis. However, I've noticed that when I suspend and I might increase the chances of a crash
[21:33] <Cpt_Zyph> i see.. im an old fedora user so pardon my noobie ness here.. currently i have only just got into /etc/init etc and changed the run lvls
[21:33] <Codex84> lol
[21:33] <Guest34343> anyone?
[21:34] <MK`> erUSUL: it works but doesn't allow me to write to the share. It worked fine before...
[21:34] <Cpt_Zyph> and for testing perpose or no GUI boot by setting up run lvl 3 etc.. again im new at ubuntu gui tools so i didn't know how to point him in any direction my self
[21:34] <oDiafanos> anyone with web-cam drivers knowledge??
[21:34] <semitones> is there anything I can look at to find out why music is skipping in rhythmbox?
[21:34] <bluefox83> why do i not see a ubuntu release countdown timer on ubuntu.com? >.>
[21:34] <Cpt_Zyph> ill have to read up on .. "upstart"
[21:34] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  suspending might do stuff like that, it could be something like a hardware issue
[21:34] <erUSUL> MK`: maybe you changed something in the sharing options in windows machine?
[21:34] <ys0> noobs
[21:34] <MK`> I never changed them, hm...
[21:34] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  i've had random freezeups with a crash related to hardware failuire on my systems, but the kernel messages are always displayed in tty1
[21:34] <TheEvilPhoenix> :/
[21:35] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, when crashes ocurred to you, could you jump to console?
[21:35] <erUSUL> MK`: windows network sharing is not my forte anyway. i have to point you to the docs... or keep asking here
[21:35] <erUSUL> !samba
[21:35] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  only to tty
[21:35] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  with ctrl + alt + f1
[21:36] <botcity> Cpt_Zyph: its only a recent change but the info is out there for you
[21:36] <Codex84> i need help with my but-tu lmao
[21:36] <Codex84> ubuntu is a funny name
[21:36] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, I see. I cannot even do that. System completely freezes... :( My guess is that windows is screwing my ubuntu :( But dont know how...
[21:36] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  its probably not
[21:36] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  i'm on a dual boot system
[21:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  the same issue may be causing both ubuntu AND Windows to die
[21:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  in which case it is a hardware related issue
[21:37] <Codex84> dat sucks
[21:37] <Codex84> man
[21:37] <pstewart> jessicaBR: the windows stop code might help narrow down the issue.. sounds hardware related
[21:37] <MK`> Is it possible for me to install packages for Lucid on 10.10?
[21:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  i'd like to see what the bluescreen said, do me a favor, reboot, get me the bluescreen error message
[21:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> as much as you can write down and report here
[21:37] <jessicaBR> pstewart, TheEvilPhoenix . ok, going to reboot with windows and see the bluescreen
[21:38] <jessicaBR> brb
[21:38] <TheEvilPhoenix> k
[21:38] <FoolishOwl> exit
[21:39] <oDiafanos> anyone with web-cam drivers knowledge??
[21:39] <Cpt_Zyph> so now that ubuntu is using "upstart" does that change init scripts and such or do they work side by side?
[21:40] <Logan_> !webcam | oDiafanos
[21:40] <erUSUL> Cpt_Zyph: some init scripts have been "ported" to upstart; some not
[21:41] <Cpt_Zyph> erUSUL i see.. god im out of the learning game didn't even know this had cahnged.. i read fedora was making the change too.. i really need to catch up. ill go google some more on "upstart" and how its used and setup for run levels etc.. thank you. at this point i need a basic non gui booting system that starts up a single app for remote access im sure upstart will work i just dunno how yet.
[21:41] <erUSUL> Cpt_Zyph: well fedore choosed a different init replacement--> systemd
[21:41] <erUSUL> fedora*
[21:42] <Cpt_Zyph> erUSUL i see. thank you for the clerification.. << linux noobie having a hard time useing / learning 2 different versions at the same time
[21:42] <Codex84> how u remove ppls joining in and quiting
[21:43] <Codex84> change the color or something
[21:43] <M4d3L1> someone is hacking my website, I want to know which IP download more than 10mbit/sec on my server
[21:43] <erUSUL> Codex84: depends on the irc client
[21:43] <BajK> why is there an unneccessary "Updating of package list" complete dialog when changing repositories?
[21:43] <erUSUL> !info ntop | M4d3L1
[21:43] <M4d3L1> in command line if possible
[21:43] <BajK> it is fine to have a progress there but why that unneccessary confirmation? it blocks the whole window
[21:43] <BajK> and it's so tiny, you easily miss it
[21:43] <Codex84> useing
[21:43] <Codex84> mirc*
[21:43] <erUSUL> BajK: uneccesary? you have to dl the package list from the new server
[21:44] <erUSUL> Codex84: mirc? the windows irc client?
[21:44] <Codex84> yea
[21:44] <IdleOne> Codex84: in mirc settings you need to uncheck the "show join/part" messages
[21:44] <erUSUL> Codex84: never used it...
[21:45] <MK`> Is it possible for me to install packages for Lucid on 10.10?
[21:46] <BajK> erUSUL: I don't talk about the dialog itself but the unnececsary confirmation dialog that it is DONE
[21:46] <BajK> "Package list has successfully been updated"
[21:47] <chak> hello everyone, i am a newbie to shell scripting, although i have spent some time on the basics, i need your help with this, I wish to write a script that can automatically tell me about the unread msgs in my e-mail
[21:47] <erUSUL> BajK: ok; missanderstood
[21:47] <BajK> ok^^
[21:47] <Yahuda> erUSUL: You told me about fsck a few hours ago. It just finished. Do I need anything more?
[21:47] <erUSUL> Yahuda: no afaics
[21:48] <M4d3L1> I got error " It looks that you don't have the libpcap distribution installed" installing ntop. libpcap is installed
[21:48] <Yahuda> erUSUL: Ok, thanks.
[21:48] <ayecee> M4d3L1: what did you get that from?
[21:48] <Xylch> Does anyone know of a PPA manager that will look at all the software installed on my machine and find ppa's for them?
[21:49] <mello> Hi! i got a big problem, i updstet my ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 beta and when i restarted to finsih teh update it now says. error: symbol not found: grub_env_export grub rescue >
[21:49] <M4d3L1> ayecee: from installing ntop with ./autogen.sh
[21:49] <ayecee> M4d3L1: you probably need the libpcap dev package as well.
[21:49] <erUSUL> chak: what mail?¿ gmail ?
[21:49] <Bulldozer> ciao le screenlets non si possono mettere nel pannello superiore di ubuntu?
[21:50] <itaylor57> mello: you need to ask in #ubuntu+
[21:50] <erUSUL> !it | Bulldozer
[21:50] <jessicaBR> pstewart, TheEvilPhoenix  I'm back. The bluescreen says that "A problem has been detected... bla bla bla\n DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL\n ... bla bla bla
[21:50] <M4d3L1> ayecee: no package found with libpcap-dev
[21:50] <jessicaBR> any idea what it might be?
[21:50] <mello> ok ty itaylor57
[21:50] <TheEvilPhoenix> *blinks*
[21:50] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  the "blablabla" part could have had important stuff :P
[21:50] <pstewart> jessicaBR: what was the stop code exactly?
[21:50] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  but that does point to a hardware issue
[21:51] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  indeed, what was the exact stop code it gave you?
[21:51] <pstewart> jessicaBR: should say something like (Stop: 0x0000XX)
[21:51] <ayecee> M4d3L1: maybe "apt-cache search libpcap dev" will return something useful.
[21:51] <mello> itaylor57: is it ubutnu+?
[21:51] <jessicaBR> pstewart, TheEvilPhoenix  I got *** STOP: 0x000000D1
[21:52] <erUSUL> !11.04 | mello
[21:52] <itaylor57> mello: you need to ask in #ubuntu+1
[21:52] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  it could be either a bad driver on Windows, or it could be bad memory (in which case it needs to be replaced or just reseated)
[21:53] <MK`> !coc
[21:53] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  but that's the Microsoft interpretation of that stop code
[21:53] <pstewart> jessicaBR: windows XP or 7?
[21:53] <kwtm> Hi! My computer has been slow for the past while, with occasional "error reading file XXX" errors.  I suspect a failing hard drive.  Is there a way to check the "bad sectors list" on the drive (from command line)?  Is there a way to check how the drive is doing, short of doing a time-consuming fsck which requires that I umount the drive?
[21:53] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, I see. pstewart Windows 7
[21:53] <dualcore> i'm using scheduled tasks to run a cron job but they dont run for some reason
[21:54] <jessicaBR> pstewart, TheEvilPhoenix, is this the case which I choose activate the warrany service?
[21:54] <Guest26151> I have an issue i wanna use UpnP behind a router but how can i enable UpnP for certain programs in Ubuntu?
[21:54] <dualcore> it runs if i click to run it now but not automatically every day like its supposed to
[21:55] <erUSUL> Guest26151: the programs that support it will have a way to enable it in their config.
[21:55] <jessicaBR> I always fear that dumb ppl at the store tell me that the problem is me having two operating systems in the same computer, and the warranty won't cover that... :(
[21:55] <erUSUL> kwtm: use smartmontools
[21:55] <Guest26151> do you know howto enable it, i cant seem to figure out how
[21:55] <erUSUL> !smart | kwtm
[21:55] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  i'm checking with a few other windows techs that are friends about that stop code, standby
[21:55] <erUSUL> :P
[21:55] <harovali1> hi , I need that a /etc/init.d script gets run at boot time, but putting it in the corresponding runlevel rcN.d does not do. What am I missing ?
[21:55] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, awsome!
[21:56] <kwtm> erUSUL: Okay.  Where's the factoid, though?  ubottu taking a coffee break?
[21:56] <erUSUL> kwtm: graphically you can use « gksudo palimptest »
[21:56] <pstewart> jessicaBR: it looks like it could have to do with ACPI, which is power management
[21:56] <erUSUL> kwtm: it looks that there is none :) i sometimes just shoot in the dark
[21:56] <kwtm> erUSUL: I'll install palimptest if need be, but sounds like it's GNOME.  Is there a KDE equivalent?
[21:56] <erUSUL> kwtm: i dunno; just use smartctl fom command line
[21:57] <erUSUL> kwtm: sometrhing like « sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdxx » ( pipe to less if needed )
[21:57] <jessicaBR> pstewart, is that a driver? Let me google that ACPI stuff
[21:57] <Guest26151> erusul you know howto enable it with a program!
[21:57] <erUSUL> Guest26151: what program?
[21:58] <deveras> Having strange issues with apache2 and php in my ubuntu. apache2 -l doesn't tell me anthing about php. In the browser it downloads the php scripts. In the /mods-enabled php5.conf and .load exist...
[21:58] <deveras> anyone else with similar issues?
[21:58] <kwtm> erUSUL: Ok.  Thx.
[21:58] <Guest26151> its an application in ubuntu which i have to run with ./ a binary its the inspircd core
[21:58] <erUSUL> Guest26151: iknow i can easily turn it on in deluge-torrent. i do not use any other program that uses uPNP
[21:59] <Braiam> deveras: you already installed the php modules?
[21:59] <erUSUL> !lamp > deveras the wiki page has a troubleshooting section
[22:00] <deveras> Braiam, yes
[22:00] <deveras> erUSUL will read it now
[22:00] <ohzie> deveras: CAn I send you a PM?
[22:00] <deveras> ohzie yes you can
[22:00] <ohzie> dvaske: Regarding apache/php/lamp stacks
[22:00] <kwtm> erUSUL: Smartmontools is trying to install postfix and bsdmail, presumably to email me when the hard drive is failing or something?  "WARNING: Hard drive failure imminent.  Details are stored on ... your hard drive."  Do you use postfix and bsdmail?
[22:00] <Guest26151> erusul any idea or does it depend?
[22:01] <Guest26151> is there like a startup cmd to use?
[22:01] <erUSUL> kwtm: use apt-get install  --no-recomends
[22:01] <LjL> i'd like to hear whatever is coming into the microphone / line-in of my EeePC 901 in the speakers, but i can't quite find out how to do that in Maverick... (maybe it's just not possible with the EeePC's soundcard, i'm not sure)
[22:01] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  the stop code in Windows points to an "Invalid signal number" (i.e. a bad hardware communication signal [IRQ signal]).  Without analyzing the minidump(s), i can't help you with that.  But if you're also getting crashes in Ubuntu, i'd think its some kind of hardware issue, especially if it randomly occurs at random times.
[22:01] <kwtm> erUSUL: Well, I don't mind having them installed.  I'll just pull them off.  Just wanted to make sure smartmontools doesn't explode or something when it doesn't find postfix.
[22:01] <erUSUL> Guest26151: no idea on what? you still has not telling me what program you want to enable uPNP in
[22:02] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, what are the minidumps?
[22:02] <erUSUL> kwtm: smartd wont be able to send mails out
[22:02] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  reports made my Win7 about the issue.  But i can't help you with that here, this is Ubuntu support.
[22:02] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  in any case, it seems you may have a hardware issue
[22:03] <pstewart> jessicaBR: does windows still crash if you power off from ubuntu (not just reboot)
[22:03] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  but without kernel error information from Ubuntu, i won't know if its the same issue
[22:03] <Codex84> whats wrong with her
[22:03] <Codex84> pc
[22:03] <Codex84> ?
[22:03] <lcb> how to add a clean default list repositories from cli - to sources.list?
[22:04] <afman> Does anyone know what file openssl/des.h is a part of?
[22:04] <erUSUL> !find openssl/des.h
[22:04] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, should I show this in the store i bought the computer? Is this my or their problem? pstewart , I will shutdown computer and see what happens, if no more suggestions for now
[22:04] <erUSUL> the bot knows
[22:04] <ikonia> afman: open ssl development
[22:04] <erUSUL> !botsnack
[22:05] <afman> ikonia: Looked there... which one? I've installed anything ending with dev.
[22:05] <pstewart> jessicaBR: i would also check to see if there is a BIOS update for your computer
[22:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  what company manufactured the computer?
[22:05] <Codex84> maybe she should check event viewer in windows
[22:05] <Codex84> if her pc is crashing
[22:05] <erUSUL> afman: 23:04 < ubottu> File openssl/des.h found in libssl-dev
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> jessicaBR: have you tested your RAM using memtest in Grub?
[22:06] <jessicaBR> pstewart, ok! TheEvilPhoenix, this is a Asus laptop K50IE
[22:06] <kwtm> erUSUL: So I should reinstall postfix, this time choosing "Local config" instead of "no email".  You don't happen to remember the dpkg command for "I know I already installed, but I borked the configuration so I want you to pretend it's not installed and install it all over again"?
[22:06] <jessicaBR> ActionParsnip, I have made a memory test in Grub
[22:06] <afman> erUSUL: Hmmmmm thanks... that's odd I've installed that one to.
[22:06] <TheEvilPhoenix> jessicaBR:  call ASUS support first, tell them about the Windows issue, see if they can't help you fix it.
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> jessicaBR: ok thats cool
[22:06] <erUSUL> kwtm: maybe --> sudo dpkg --configure postfix
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> jessicaBR: got the latest BIOS?
[22:06] <kwtm> thx.
[22:07] <jessicaBR> ActionParsnip, going to check that. pstewart recommended that as well
[22:07] <erUSUL> kwtm: or sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[22:07] <jessicaBR> TheEvilPhoenix, ok, I'm also going to do that too.
[22:08] <jessicaBR> For now, I'm going to shutdown and power on my laptop and launch windows to see what happens.
[22:08] <quellhor1t> what is a good hardware raid card for ubuntu 10.04?
[22:08] <jessicaBR> brb
[22:09] <ohzie> quellhor1t: Most hardware raid cards just sort of work.
[22:09] <ohzie> quellhor1t: What's your price range and what kind of array are you trying to build?
[22:10] <lcb> is it possible to load from ubuntu (net) the full and default repository list to fill sources.list?
[22:10] <quellhor1t> ohzie: i need a raid 10 array, i have a 1u supermicro case. card would be pci express 2.0 x8
[22:10] <rhizmoe> quellhor1t: basic? adaptec is fine.
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> lcb: you can boot to the minimal ISO and installusing the web rather than an install media if that's what you mean
[22:11] <lcb> ActionParsnip: i need the full list of repositories because i did an install and only cd is in there... so i need to pull that from cli
[22:12] <quellhor1t> rhizmoe: is adaptec the most compatible?
[22:12] <quellhor1t> rhizmoe: i need notifications if a drive goes bad or it hits degraded
[22:12] <deveras> There seams to be no reason why apache forces the download of PHP scripts
[22:12] <deveras> how do i force a remove with apt-get?
[22:12] <lcb> ActionParsnip: btw, it is a minimal install, so no graphical interfaces
[22:13] <slim_> hello all, how to create livecd from installed system ?
[22:13] <rhizmoe> quellhor1t: that's going to be a feature of whatever software comes with. adaptec is a major company whose sales phone can give you tons of answers.
[22:13] <deveras> sudo apt-get remove apache2 (tells me it does it, but the funny bit is that its still in the system and still running)
[22:13] <rhizmoe> quellhor1t: i would say adaptec is probably one of the most compatible, yes.
[22:14] <iceroot> deveras: its just in the memory after stoping it, there is no apache2 anymore
[22:14] <rhizmoe> quellhor1t: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89603
[22:14] <Braiam> deveras: you doesn't unnistalled the dependicies, like apache-*

[22:19] <deveras> sorry disconnected
[22:19] <sunboy> does anyone know anything about setting up local hostnames in apache?
[22:19] <deveras> guys: http://pastebin.com/Z2egwhrE
[22:19] <deveras> sorry disconnected
[22:20] <sunboy> I can't find a clear set of instructions online
[22:20] <deveras> sunboy yes, fell free to pm
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> lcb: you can choose, you can install just the barebones then install what you need. I use it and install lxde and then  build from there, takes a while but makes a very small OS
[22:21] <deveras> How do i uninstall it all???
[22:22] <lcb> ActionParsnip: the prob was during the installation. but never mind, i got nano from the cd and i'm including basic repos with it. then i'll keep going with the install. thanks
[22:24] <jessicaBR> pstewart, TheEvilPhoenix, hello, I'm back. Sorry for keep bothering you guys. I have interesting results. If i shutdown the computer and launch windows I get no bluescreen
[22:26] <pstewart> jessicaBR: did you check to see if there's a BIOS update?
[22:26] <letas> Quick question... if I use rsync to "sync" folder a from point 1 to folder b in point 3 and all is happening through point 2, will rsync be aware of all new files that get copied from folder a.... I don't have a direct connection between point 1 and 3, thus why im using point 2 as a bridge
[22:27] <jessicaBR> pstewart, that's the next thing in the pipeline. Going to check it out. Do you know how to check my bios version? Should I have to restart and enter BIOS? Or can I see that in operating system?
[22:28] <pstewart> jessicaBR: probably will have to check it in the BIOS or it also should be displayed on the POST screen
[22:29] <jessicaBR> pstewart, ok, going to reboot and check bios version. Brb.
[22:34] <lolmatic> is the awn panel better than the gnome panel?
[22:34] <meganerd> pstewart: FYI, "sudo dmidecode -s bios-version" will give you the bios version.
[22:35] <pstewart> meganerd: cool, didn't know that. thx
[22:36] <xangua> lolmatic: that's up to you to decide
[22:36] <meganerd> pstewart: it does not always work, but it is a good first try

[22:42] <aboshah> can WINDOWS 7 bootloader supports DUAL boot
[22:42] <meganerd> E1496: it depends on the wireless security
[22:43] <aboshah> i install in my laptop UBUNTU 10.10 and now i am running ...
[22:43] <DeJQit> aboshah: cool
[22:43] <aboshah> how can i install WINDOWS 7 in a same laptop
[22:43] <Seven_Six_Two> aboshah, I believe it can, but the install (iirc) won't respect any other os installed.
[22:43] <leeland> aboshah good, now you're done
[22:43] <Seven_Six_Two> aboshah, you could use virtualbox or the other one...
[22:44] <Seven_Six_Two> aboshah, vmware
[22:44] <Tuxxx> i cant mount my partition from the terminal, it says invalid argument, what can i do?
[22:44] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, what is the whole error? or what was your command?
[22:44] <aboshah> any other GOOD suggession?
[22:45] <Tuxxx> mount /dev/sda3 /home/tux/newfolder/
[22:45] <Seven_Six_Two> aboshah, sorry? That was a good suggestion, and is used by a lot of people...
[22:46] <mickster04> aboshah: just install it and then fix grub with instructions in !grub
[22:46] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx,    sudo mount -t filesystemtype /dev/sda3 /home/tux/newfolder
[22:46] <cybrhuman> aboshah: if you have some experience you can install in any way you like, just make a new grubinstall afterwards. requires a livecd, mount --bind and some chroot magic
[22:46] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, and of course, newfolder has to already exist
[22:46] <meganerd> aboshah: install windows, then linux.  If you do it the other way around you will need to fix the linux install since the windows installer will not support non-microsoft OSs
[22:47] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, relplace filesystemtype with the proper value   ext2,ext3,ext4,ntfs,vfat
[22:47] <Tuxxx> mounting failed, no such device
[22:47] <Tuxxx> i think a trojan did something to my HD
[22:48] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, ok, pastebin.com     ls -l /dev | grep sda
[22:48] <aboshah> i installed UBUNTU, now i want to install WINDOWS 7, so what can i do ?
[22:48] <Seven_Six_Two> aboshah, if you
[22:48] <cybrhuman> Seven_Six_Two: is it really neccesary to use the '-t' option? isn't all common filesystem recognised
[22:49] <_dreamy> hi i installed java6 im using it with firefox, but my java games wont start  ,  anyone helping?
[22:49] <Seven_Six_Two> aboshah, if you're going to ignore everyone's suggestions, please do it elsewhere
[22:49] <Seven_Six_Two> cybrhuman, you could assume that, I suppose. And you're probably right.
[22:49] <leeland> aboshah google
[22:50] <leeland> aboshah try what other people here are telling you
[22:50] <MK`> That's strange. My Fn key not only isn't recognized, but when I hold it and press F1, etc. the F1 key doesn't register.
[22:50] <leeland> aboshah install windows first and use wubi if you are inept
[22:50] <aboshah> no no ... i would not ignore anyone's suggestion, i need to know that why i ask you allz
[22:50] <leeland> aboshah virtualbox
[22:50] <Tuxxx> Seven_Six_Two cant paste it, it says brw-rw---- 1 root root 8, 3apr sda3
[22:51] <Seven_Six_Two> aboshah, then maybe the issue is that you're not reading people's responses to you?
[22:51] <aboshah> i am reading my friend
[22:51] <cybrhuman> aboshah: are you familiar with partitioning?
[22:51] <aboshah> yeap
[22:51] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, that can't be all of it...
[22:52] <cybrhuman> have you prepared a partition for windows?
[22:52] <Guest83442> what im looking for is a program in ubuntu which finds the upnp device and can add ports
[22:52] <Number_6> aboshah, Boot the computer into Ubuntu, throw the Windows disk in the trash. Done! That was easy.
[22:52] <Tuxxx> i couldnt paste it man, my terminal doesnt have a way to copy
[22:52] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, are you in a windowed terminal? in a gui?
[22:53] <aboshah> i partition my hdd to 4 pieces
[22:53] <Tuxxx> i could give you a screenshot
[22:53] <piero> Hi! I can hear a lot of "scratches" in any sound I play in my computer, like an interference or broken-audio sound. Anyone had this experience ?
[22:53] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, well, it's better than nothing  ;)
[22:54] <Tuxxx> im using xterm
[22:54] <Seven_Six_Two> piero, I did recently. In my case I just needed a new wire
[22:54] <Tuxxx> here theres a screenshot
[22:54] <Number_6> piero, You wouldn't happen to have the Pulse Audio equalizer installed would you?
[22:55] <cybrhuman> what is the select to copy feature called?
[22:55] <piero> Seven_Six_Two, hardware is ok. Tested with an old live-cd
[22:55] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, are you also in a gui irc client, like xchat? If so. you can highlight and rightclick in xterm to copy text to another gui
[22:55] <Tuxxx> http://img684.imageshack.us/i/82601656.jpg/
[22:55] <piero> Number_6, well.. I never manually installed it. Just made apt-get install ubuntu-desktop after a "install command line system" on alternate install
[22:55] <Seven_Six_Two> piero, the only other time I've had that was when i used JACK and had underruns...
[22:57] <piero> hmm
[22:57] <Number_6> piero, are you 64 bit or 32?
[22:57] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, there's a link called "flash" pointing to sda1. This isn't a flash drive, is it?
[22:57] <piero> Number_6, 64.
[22:57] <marina> hi
[22:57] <Seven_Six_Two> piero, is it only certain programs giving you trouble?
[22:58] <inaxio> hello, my ubuntu installer freezes at the part 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' can anyone help with this?
[22:59] <marina> I've installed 10.10 on a dell pc with windows vista, grub created two choices in the menu, windows repair and windows embedded , now embedded fails repair makes some works and now it works (?) how can I change the name of the entries? and maybe delete the not usable?
[22:59] <Tuxxx> Seven_Six_Two i think my partition is wasted, i jsut got hit by a trojan and the system wont boot, do you know any way to fix the partition?
[22:59] <Number_6> piero, is the sound messing up on all audio or just flash videos?
[22:59] <piero> Seven_Six_Two, at least chromium-browser, firefox and totem have this problem. I did not tested others
[22:59] <piero> Number_6, everything
[22:59] <Seven_Six_Two> piero, it may seem a bit drastic, but some people have troubles with pulseaudio, and their problems go away when it's uninstalled.
[22:59] <dustin> how do i make a torrant?
[23:00] <Seven_Six_Two> piero, and if it doesn't fix it, reinstalling will leave you no worse off
[23:00] <piero> It sounds exactly like an old scratched vinyl sound system
[23:00] <Logan_> !torrent | dustin
[23:00] <RoDiMuS-X> Does anyone know how to order my icons in Unity #D
[23:00] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, a trojan? are these ntfs partitions? on a harddrive? usb key? external?
[23:00] <RoDiMuS-X> sorry Unity 3D
[23:00] <Seven_Six_Two> piero, open alsa mixer, and make sure there are no volumes at 100%.
[23:01] <Number_6> piero, you could also try reinstalling pulse audio
[23:01] <piero> Seven_Six_Two, I did it before. Still scratching
[23:01] <Tuxxx> yea i was using my computer and windows defender said a trojan was detected, i clicked "more info" the computer rebooted automatically, then failed to boot since then, now i open my disk with gparted and my biggest and most important partition has a big ! and cant mount it from the file system
[23:02] <Seven_Six_Two> piero, you've removed pulse, or made your volumes below 100%?
[23:02] <mkf00> is there a good GUI-prog for analyzing which folders/files are how big?! cause i need to see what needs most space on my disk
[23:02] <inaxio> okay questions, my ubuntu installer wont go past the second step, is there anything obvious that can cause this
[23:03] <piero> Seven_Six_Two, I tried to below volumes to 70%. Now I'm removing pulseaudio
[23:03] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, ok, that's not really something to be asking in here. I didn't notice you mention that it's a windows partition. That would make a huge difference when you try to mount it.
[23:03] <piero> next step should be to change the kernel.. ?
[23:03] <cybrhuman> mkf00: there is a nice cli tool.
[23:04] <Seven_Six_Two> piero, log out and log back in once it's uninstalled
[23:04] <mkf00> cybrhuman tell me
[23:04] <cybrhuman> mkf00: du -h --max-depth <number>
[23:04] <piero> right
[23:05] <mkf00> the max-depth is how deep i want to go..
[23:05] <Tuxxx> but im using linux, i cant access my windows install
[23:05] <mkf00> so for usual i.. will not make this higher than.. like 5?!
[23:05] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, If things haven't changed since I last used windows, you also have to install the ntfs kernel module before you can mount it. That may have changed though.
[23:05] <cybrhuman> mkf00: correct :) and you can tab complete the options :) ( -h for human readable )
[23:06] <RoDiMuS-X> Any one know how to order the icons in the Unity Launcher
[23:06] <pfifo> I installed gentoo amd64 and my penis grew 2 inches overnight
[23:06] <mkf00> cybrhuman nice, thanks
[23:06] <mkf00> now i can even work with grep with it :) good tool
[23:06] <cybrhuman> mkf00: I know :D
[23:06] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, do you have an empty directory (in your home) called sda3?
[23:06] <Tuxxx> yea
[23:07] <Tuxxx> its the name of the folder
[23:07] <Number_6> pfifo, Sheesh, I wonder what Arch would do then.
[23:07] <Tuxxx> i was trying to mount to
[23:07] <pfifo> Number_6, Arch is on my PSP
[23:07] <DogMatix> RoDiMuS-X: click hold drag
[23:08] <RoDiMuS-X> ok seems not to be working thanks Dog Matix
[23:08] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, do you have ntfs-3g  installed?
[23:08] <Tuxxx> i dont know
[23:08] <Tuxxx> yes i do
[23:09] <Tuxxx> i have it
[23:09] <pfifo> I propose a moment of silence... in respect to the recently departed Linus Torvalds
[23:10] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, is sda3 a "...forgot the term..." partiton? because you can't mount those. Only logical and "...forgot the other term..."
[23:10] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, you can't mount the kind of partition that is a container for the others
[23:10] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, and since you have 9 partitions, those aren't all logical (4 max)
[23:10] <Tuxxx> what man i dont get it, i always mounted that partition without any trouble :S
[23:10] <pfifo> primary, logical, extended
[23:11] <Tuxxx> i only have 5 partitions that i know of
[23:11] <DogMatix> RoDiMuS-X: Did you click and hold for +2 seconds
[23:11] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, your screenshot shows sda,sda1,sda2,sda3,sda4,sda5,sda6,sda7,sda8,sda9
[23:12] <Tuxxx> well i dont know about that... let me show you a SS of gparted ?
[23:12] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, sure
[23:13] <mkf00> cybrhuman dmnit.. i really need a bigger harddrive :))
[23:13] <MK`> That's strange. My Fn key not only isn't recognized, but when I hold it and press F1, etc. the F1 key doesn't register. What could this mean?
[23:13] <cybrhuman> mkf00: hehe, that happens at times, I havn't got any trick for that
[23:14] <Tuxxx> http://img64.imageshack.us/i/80387302.jpg/
[23:14] <cybrhuman> MK`: when did the problem start?
[23:14] <Tuxxx> its in spanish but youll understand
[23:14] <mkf00> cybrhuman my first own PC had a hdd with 16GB.. that was really big at that time :)
[23:14] <mkf00> now i have 1000GB and it still is filled
[23:14] <mkf00> haha
[23:14] <Tuxxx> Seven_Six_Two desconocido = Unknown
[23:15] <MK`> cybrhuman: it's always been like this, I just never got around to working on it.
[23:15] <MK`> the Fn (and Alt Gr) keys do not register with xev, nor dmesg
[23:15] <MK`> disregard AltGr I was thinking of something else
[23:16] <hiexpo> ? how do i send email with the terminal
[23:16] <cybrhuman> MK`: that's odd... is there similar complaints on the pc model on linux?
[23:16] <cybrhuman> hiexpo: mutt could be your answer.
[23:17] <MK`> Not that I know of cybrhuman.
[23:17] <cybrhuman> MK`: ask google :)
[23:17] <MK`> I tried, didn't find anything. The ubuntu forums didn't have anything on my laptop or keyboard model
[23:18] <hiexpo> cybrhuman, thanks that was what i was looking for just forgot thename
[23:18] <Seven_Six_Two> Tuxxx, I have to admit, it looks bad. Honestly I wouldn't even know what to do next. Sorry
[23:19] <jessicaBR> pstewart, do you know how to update bios? I've found some updates (http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=K50IE&p=3&s=188&os=30&hashedid=W85E2qRnJ52pnZwM). But have no idea how to use those files I download there...
[23:19] <Tuxxx> holy shit man, always the same crap
[23:19] <Tuxxx> every fucking time i come here with some problem
[23:19] <Tuxxx> nobody can help
[23:19] <Tuxxx> fuck this shit!!
[23:19] <Fr4gg0r> moin
[23:19] <FloodBot3> Tuxxx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:19] <cybrhuman> MK`: a thinkpad?
[23:19] <MK`> it's a gateway
[23:20] <WolfMitchell> Where is a good place for a Ubuntu bluetooth headset driver?
[23:20] <Xylch> I have a dual monitor setup and whenever I try to fullscreen a flash video, it goes onto my secondary monitor (which happens to be on the left), at the size of my main monitor (laptop screen). Does anyone know a fix for this?
[23:20] <Seven_Six_Two> Wow. that's harsh. And I thought I was being pretty good
[23:21] <cybrhuman> MK`: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74806
[23:21] <meganerd> Seven_Six_Two: what was he trying to do?
[23:21] <saal> is it safe to reboot when theres a prompt saying 'a program is still running: gnome-keyring-daemon...Not responding'?
[23:21] <cybrhuman> MK`: seems to be a way to fix it, although I am not certain what they do...
[23:21] <Seven_Six_Two> meganerd, access a trashed ntfs partition. He didn't even tell me it was ntfs
[23:22] <meganerd> MK`: on my old Lenovo some of the keys were not detected by xev.  If they are not detected here then as far as I know we are up the creek
[23:22] <MK`> The F1, etc. keys work by themselves, it's just the "Fn" key
[23:22] <LjL> i'd like to hear whatever is coming into the microphone / line-in of my EeePC 901 in the speakers, but i can't quite find out how to do that in Maverick... (maybe it's just not possible with the EeePC's soundcard, i'm not sure)
[23:23] <cybrhuman> Xylch: my hack is to mirror the screens, or if it is youtube we are talking about I got a script for dl-ing the video directly and play it in mplayer
[23:23] <meganerd> Seven_Six_Two: I have seen that more than a few times, even on machines that have never had linux touch them (until I booted a recovery disk of course).  There are a few things to try but none of them are linux based
[23:24] <meganerd> LjL: I don't know of an easy way to do this, unless you consider jackd to be easy :)
[23:24] <LjL> meganerd: uhm but is it just something with Maverick, or does the EeePC's soundcard simply not have that ability? (all the soundcards i've had did)
[23:25] <meganerd> it depends on how you were doing it.
[23:25] <jsimmons> Hi, my laptops (hp pavillion dm1z) wifi adaptor isn't working for some reason, anybody lend a quick hand getting it to work?
[23:25] <LjL> meganerd: going to the mixer, and clicking on the "unmute" or green or whatever button for the microphone, mostly :)
[23:25] <LjL> then again Maverick doesn't have a mixer. but i tried alsamixer and didn't found that option there either...
[23:26] <ivan_> hi
[23:26] <kelbek> nabend freunde
[23:26] <kelbek> iyi aksamlar
[23:26] <kelbek> hi
[23:26] <LjL> english here please :)
[23:27] <Xylch> cybrhuman: May I get a link to this script?
[23:27] <meganerd> LjL: Oh, OK.  There are a number of mixers, you just have to install them or run manually.  For some reason the applet does not have a mixer option.
[23:27] <kelbek> of course
[23:27] <cybrhuman> Xylch: I am looking for it
[23:27] <kelbek> :-)
[23:27] <aar> Hello, does anyone have a recommendation for a wireless card that will work out of the box on an Ubuntu Lucid AMD64 box?
[23:28] <Seven_Six_Two> MK`, can you switch to a tty  (alt+ctrl+F1) and issue    showkey        then push the key you need to work...then wait 10 seconds for it to exit
[23:28] <meganerd> aar: the intel ones work great
[23:28] <LjL> meganerd: right, but i'm saying, even with a mixer (at least alsamixer), i don't get the option i usually got with all my other soundcards
[23:28] <xnox> I want to rip CD into m4a (AAC) using Banshee. The audio cd source have flac,mp3,wav,ogg options available for me, but not m4a. Rhythmbox on the other hand does have it and it works there. I have faac and -multiverse gstreamer installed. How do I "active" m4a import in Banshee?
[23:28] <Seven_Six_Two> MK`, taking note of any output for the key
[23:28] <aar> meganerd, sny intel card?
[23:28] <aar> (any)
[23:28] <meganerd> LjL: Hmm, I have used so many sound cards that I can't keep them straight in my head.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[23:29] <kelbek> has anyone experience with unmountable usb device?
[23:29] <cybrhuman> Xylch: http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/
[23:29] <LjL> meganerd: ok. i'll see if maybe the program i'm using has a specific option to do that
[23:29] <meganerd> aar: all the ones I have seen.  I am currently connected via an Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300
[23:30] <Seven_Six_Two> kelbek, I have, when it's busy
[23:30] <ogee> sos
[23:30] <kelbek> i cannot mount my usb stick
[23:30] <ogee> can someone help me please
[23:30] <meganerd> LjL: I know with jack you can route any signal from just about anywhere to just about anywhere, but that is sort of like fishing with dynamite.
[23:30] <aar> meganerd, did you need ndiswrsapper?
[23:30] <meganerd> aar: no.  ndiswrapper is evil
[23:30] <meganerd> aar: atheros is pretty good
[23:30] <aar> meganerd, indeed
[23:30] <kelbek> in dmsg or /var/log/massages, i didn't see any error
[23:31] <aar> meganerd, thanks i'll check them out
[23:31] <meganerd> aar: I build my own routers so I understand your concern.
[23:31] <Xylch> cybrhuman: thanks
[23:31] <jsimmons_> how do I find out exactly which network adaptor I have?
[23:31] <kelbek> the usb stick is not mounted automatically
[23:31] <LjL> meganerd: yeah i'd rather avoid having to do that, though i may resort to it if there's no other option
[23:31] <Seven_Six_Two> kelbek, make sure you don't have the usb key open in any window (file browser or terminal)
[23:31] <meganerd> jsimmons_: lspci |grep -i network
[23:31] <jsimmons_> Ralink corp. Device 539f
[23:32] <meganerd> LjL: Once I got hooked on jack I see all problems as having jack as the solution :)
[23:32] <cybrhuman> Xylch: I had a small script which automatically fed mplayer the file... which is damn neat.
[23:32] <cybrhuman> Xylch: can't be that hard to make anyway.
[23:32] <LjL> meganerd: well i'll probably have to deal with JACK at some point anyway since i might end up connecting various programs' audio inputs and outputs together
[23:33] <kelbek> Seven_Six_Two i can not get mounting the stick
[23:33] <jsimmons_> are there packages somewhere for ralink wireless cards?
[23:33] <jsimmons_> to save me building the kernel module myself?
[23:33] <kelbek> Seven_Six_Two: i try to mount with mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
[23:34] <kelbek> Seven_Six_Two: but it doesnt work
[23:35] <Seven_Six_Two> kelbek, you need sudo to mount it manually, unless it's specified in mtab that you can. You also need to create a directory inside /mnt where it will mount to. It won't create a directory for you
[23:35] <MK``> Well that was unpleasant. How do I exit from a tty?
[23:36] <Seven_Six_Two> MK`, sorry, I should have mentioned. alt+ctrl+f7
[23:36] <MK`> Thanks x_X
[23:36] <KINGOFSWORDS> hi
[23:36] <MK`> Seven_Six_Two: They key showed nothing
[23:36] <smw> hi KINGOFSWORDS
[23:36] <Seven_Six_Two> MK`, you tried some other keys, I'm guessing?
[23:37] <MK`> Seven_Six_Two: yes, the others worked fine.
[23:37] <Seven_Six_Two> MK`, it'
[23:37] <Seven_Six_Two> MK`, sorry. It's a function key? did you try using it to modify another key? like seeing if  <key a> and Fnc+<key a> give the same code?
[23:38] <MK`> one sect
[23:38] <kelbek> Seven_Six_Two: i did it, this didnt help
[23:38] <jsimmons_> cool the ralink website is down it seems
[23:39] <kelbek> Seven_Six_Two: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt2/usb/
[23:39] <kelbek> Seven_Six_Two: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1
[23:39] <Seven_Six_Two> kelbek, and you created the usb directory first?
[23:40] <kelbek> Seven_Six_Two: :-) yes
[23:40] <MK`> Seven_Six_Two: Pressing Fn does nothing. F1-F12 work fine. Fn+F1-F12 does nothing. Fn+a works as if I pressed a alone.
[23:41] <Seven_Six_Two> MK`, I'm sorry to say it looks like it's not going to work for you if linux doesn't see anything useful. That's as low level as I know about.
[23:41] <MK`> Alright. thanks
[23:41] <devixluvic> Hello
[23:43] <Diamondcite> kelbek: Have you tried to use gparted to see if the Data stick in intact? (read it, not format/partition it)
[23:43] <Sereph> is there a way to change the display brightness on a desktop the way it can be changed on a laptop?
[23:43] <MK`> Sereph: the controls are usually on the monitor.
[23:43] <Sereph> MK`: yeah i jusst wanted a way to script that
[23:44] <MK`> Ah, not that I know of.
[23:44] <Sereph> MK`: didnt know if there was a software way of doing it
[23:44] <Seven_Six_Two> kelbek, can you pastebin the output from   sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[23:45] <Seven_Six_Two> kelbek, and then please be patient. I will be AFK for a couple of minutes.

[23:48] <Diamondcite> kelbek: gparted says the stick is formated to fat32?
[23:48] <Sereph> kelbek: you could always install pastebinit :)
[23:48] <Cryp71c> Sereph, :( I remember doing something like sudo apt-distribution-manager -b or something like that.
[23:48] <Cryp71c> Sereph, it was a (VERY) easy process.
[23:48] <Cryp71c> though that was upgrading, ofc.
[23:48] <Sereph> Cryp71c: maybe, im still using 10.04
[23:48] <Sereph> which is buggy enoug
[23:49] <kelbek> Diamondcite: unfortunatelly no, gparted has a interrogation mark
[23:49] <Cryp71c> Sereph, hehe, in any case. I installed gnome3 (gnome-terminal) and its got some pretty crazy graphics issues. Are you familiar with changing back to unity?
[23:49] <spaceturtle> Hello, I had installed a PPA on 10.04 server, then I removed it and upgraded to 10.10 server, but I can't apt-cache search php5-fpm, is there a way I can troubleshoot this?

[23:50] <Sereph> will give you a link

[23:51] <{{localhost}}> hi i have a AR5008 series WiFi card and for some reason it disconnect from time to time and have to do modprobe -r ath9k and modprob ath9k to reload it, does anyone know how to solve this problem?
[23:51] <Cryp71c> ActionParsnip, when 11.04 releases fully, there will be an easy upgrade package out of the RCs to the full release, though, correct?

[23:56] <spaceturtle> I am able to apt-cache show php5-fpm and get a response, but when I apt-get install php5-fpm I get an error: "E: Package 'php5-fpm' has no installation candidate"
[23:57] <spaceturtle> I tried to use a PPA for this, and then removed it
[23:57] <spaceturtle> I think that is my problem
[23:57] <spaceturtle> how can I get PHP5-FPM installed?
[23:57] <milenko> i think i just figgured it out
[23:57] <milenko> yea
[23:57] <meganerd> {{localhost}}: dmesg and /var/log/syslog are your friend
[23:57] <virusuy> spaceturtle: sudo apt-get update
[23:57] <milenko> add ppa:objectif-libre/objectif-libre to the software library
[23:57] <milenko> thx

[23:57] <virusuy> spaceturtle: and if you excute apt-cache search php5-fpm ?
[23:58] <spaceturtle> meganerd: that I what I used
[23:58] <spaceturtle> virusuy: it returns nothging
[23:58] <virusuy> alright then
[23:58] <spaceturtle> I used ppa-purge to get rid of the ppa, and I think it did
[23:58] <spaceturtle> but now I can't install or find php5-fpm at all
[23:58] <spaceturtle> from regular sources
[23:58] <virusuy> spaceturtle: obviously the problem it's on apt's cache
[23:58] <meganerd> spaceturtle: sudo aptitude update
[23:59] <agamiid> Hay all
[23:59] <{{localhost}}> meganerd, i did that but didn't help
[23:59] <virusuy> or you didn't delete ppa correctly spaceturtle
