Braber01um guys, can ANYBODY tell me how to run tcpdump on a blogtv chat room?00:01
JeruvyBraber01: that doesn't make much sense, what are you trying to accomplish?00:02
Braber01I'm trying to track ip's of usernames in a chatroom on blogtv00:02
swattowhere is the remote http in vlc please?00:02
bcessagnosis: ok, thnx00:03
swattoHow do you enable HTTP interface in VLC? cant seem to find it, downloaded the android app00:04
JeruvyBraber01: tcpdump  will do that, but it won't provide a decent way to dissect what you want.  If you are familar with BPF's you could create one for your needs and use it with tcpdump.00:04
Braber01I'm not familar with either of those.00:05

maheanuuThanx I just finished partitioning and formatting a 320 gig ext drive and now will try to see if I can install a couple of movies from my pute on it then send it to another neice and let her do a dump from her puter00:15

phuxrww, ohelig : so you mean "try to dig as deep as possible" is the correct answer?00:15
CobZophux: if you don't mind something that's not linux: freebsd00:15
gnosismaheanuu: mind if I pm?00:16
oheligrandom rant, I don't like using XChat to get on freenode, but apparently KVIrc is vulnerable to remote attacks and I need to update, but there are no updates available :|00:16
maheanuuNot at all00:16
maheanuuPlease do00:16
CobZophux: I'm currently using freebsd even on my desktop00:16
alosagnosis: no, I'm shure00:17
phuxCobZo: i dont mind, i want to learn about unix. but freebsd... didnt consider that. is there a special reason for mentioning that?00:17
Khisanthohelig: not even as a source patch?00:17
alosaCobZo: how flash in fbsd ?00:17
oheligI didn't check :s00:17
kdubphux: the best way to learn is to walk through a linux-from-scratch install, in my humble opinion00:18
aciculaphux: lfs is a usefull way of learning how a linux os is fit together, but its not practical for an everyday os, just fire up some VMs and try a few distros00:18
abstraktphux, kdub, LFS does nothing for newbs, far better to lean basic programming and stuff like bash (and programming bash) if you want to "learn linux"00:19
CobZoalosa: there is no native flash for freebsd but linux flash works fine with the linux emulation layer00:19
abstraktlearn C and bash00:19
matsurso im running an HTTP server on a high port number so I dont have to screw with drop privs etc, but want it listening on port 80. i have iptables setup to use nat/PREROUTING to forward reqs on 80 to 9999, and accept rules for 80 and 9999. how can i not expose 9999 to the outside world and just allow connections iptables is forwarding?00:19
=== Lenin_Cat is now known as SirLenin
kdubabstrakt: yeah, but it really helps to understand the linkers, kernel, all the stuff things run on. forces you out of the newbie sandbox00:19
alosaCobZo: fuck adobe00:20
aciculamatsur: use the REDIRECT target and let the http server listen on the local loopback interface00:20
gnosisalosa: you definitely have metasploit installed.  just kill the postgres process00:20
abstraktkdub, learning C forces you out of the newbie sandbox, what's your point?00:20
CobZophux: if you want to learn unix then I really recommend you *BSD over linux. they are far more unix-like than any linux distro I've used00:21
mister2would it be a good idea to copy a home folder from 10.10 to a fresh installation of 10.10, or the 11.04 beta?00:21
abstraktlol, who even still uses actual unix anymore?00:21
aciculamister2: there shouldnt be a problem with that00:22
abstrakti mean, i'm sure there are some probably, but really?00:22
c33dogmac users do abstrakt =)00:22
kdubabstrakt: the point is its important to learn C, but its also important to learn the command line, autotools, revision control systems, etc if you're going to do any meaningful contributions00:22
aciculaabstrakt: there are a few around still00:22
oheligYou would probably have a bunch of broken shortcuts, but there shouldn't be any major issues00:22
phuxkdub: acicula: yes, im looking for an os keeping the balance between usability and learning00:22
abstraktc33dog, um, not they use a bastardized version of BSD00:22
abstrakthard to call that unix00:22

abstraktkdub, um, that's the point? um... yes, in fact now you are agreeing with my original point, thank you00:22
Localhost666but the problem continues00:22
Localhost666can someone give another tip?00:23

matsur@acicula iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 9999 how would i change this to redirect to loopback?00:23
aciculamatsur: read the man page on what the redirect tag does00:23
kdubyeah, but phux wants to learn about how the whole system works together, and putting the system together is a good way to learn about all that00:23

abstraktphux, do as you like, putting random pieces together means relatively little... learning to program is quite useful - you're better off reading The FreeBSD Handbook than doing LFS00:25
aciculamatsur: oh i see what you mean, ehm, sec00:25
abstraktphux, or, as I already said, learning C00:25

Ben64the extra %'s might be iowait or something00:28
Localhost666can u help me?00:28
phuxalright, thank you guys. i'll stick with ubuntu as main OS (and for learning C/Bash), and give LFS a shot on a little partition till it runs "perfectly" and i feel ready for the switch. think its the best solution :)00:28

eedeep I just up upgraded xubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 and now my keyboard shortcuts won't work...most importantly the run program dialog! I've been googling but to no avail...anyone seen this before?00:30
Localhost666Ben64: i saw in the internet that ppl with great fast computers have the same problem..00:30
abstraktphux, yeah it's a decent idea to keep 3 partitions (not including swap which would make 4)00:30
abstraktphux, one for system, one for alternate system and one for files00:31
abstraktphux, then you don't have to worry about A) upgrades or B) recovery00:31
pfifoabstrakt: why not just have 3 harddrives and one for swap to make 400:31
CobZoalosa: it has full dtrace support and zfs v2800:31
phuxabstrakt: as im the careful guy its actually my setup :)00:31
aciculamatsur: can you try the REDIRECT tag and see if that works00:32
abstraktpfifo, probably because I personally, have a laptop :)00:32
swattoAnyone know how to setup VLC for remote control...ive enabled it but i cant seem to get to it in the browser00:32
phuxpfifo: cause i have only 1 laptop00:32
Localhost666Ben64: is gnash an alternative..?00:32
abstraktphux, yeah i love that setup actually, not just for recovery purposes for which it's a real life saver, but for testing too00:32
CobZoalosa: those are the main reasons why I love it and use it over linux even on my desktop00:32
Khisanthand 2TB of swap would be very silly :p00:32
pfifo3 laptops with ...00:32
abstraktphux, lets you play around with multiple distros00:32
scott__2 TB of swap???00:32
Ben64Localhost666: no, the adobe one works fine00:32
scott__lol00:32
matsuracicula iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 9999 works fine, it just requires that i ACCEPT on 9999 as well as 8000:32
Localhost666Ben64: no it doesnt lol00:33
matsurI'd rath not expose 999900:33
Ben64Localhost666: yes it does lol00:33
phuxpfifo: im a f*cking broke student :)00:33
gnosisphux: if you're looking to do systems programming, then yeah C is good00:33
aciculamatsur: does it redirect the packets to localhost though?00:33
Localhost666if i try to play youtube videos it just lags my pc00:33

It just said it found them and put them in use....00:37

abstraktphux, yes unfortunately many universities have gone java these days00:45
G_Vali restored a partition/table after accidentally deleted it00:45
abstraktphux, really if you wanna learn to program you should read something like this http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/00:45
aciculafisix: the solution for that is to pick a proper password00:45
gnosisMilossh: that's not a very detailed question00:45
alosaCobZo: the zfs v28 is production edition ?00:45
fisixpfifo, why is that? if somebody has physical access to the comp, can't they just retrieve the hash and crack it?00:45

icarusi got a intel adnavnced-n 6200 wireless card00:46
G_ValI thought maybe it happened because of file system and i check it with gparted on my usb drive00:46
hiexpofisix, if you pick a passwork of lengyh of 10 or more and use a small case an upper case  a _ and a number you will be fine00:46
scott__Localhost666: ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop environment, and Lubuntu uses the LXDE desktop environment.  In Lubuntu, the default browser is chromium, and I believe Claws Mail is the default mail client.  If you used a lighter DE, you'd have more memory for programming. :D00:47
gnosisabstrakt: nothing wrong with java for learning OOP.  it shouldn't be a first language imo though00:47
icarusthat needs iwlagn00:47

Localhost666scott__: is it possible to install lubuntu from my pen drive just like i do with ubuntu?00:51
phuxgnosis: no wonder, my professor developed it himself, it's not used for any program in the world. (my prof stated that himself)00:51
abstraktphux, the linux kernel is written in C, much of the linux software available is written in C00:51
gnosisG_Val: sorry i didn't00:52
fisixacicula, gotcha that's what i needed to know (:00:52
aeon-ltdLocalhost666: yes, thats possible with 99% of distros00:52
hiexpofisix, i am a pen-tester /hacker   so make the password long and use differant tables and you will be fine i would suggest if you are worried 16 or better00:52
abstraktphux, linux is really a programmer's OS, if you want to learn linux, learn C (and all the stuff about the tools that help you write it, like gcc and make and automake and autoconf)00:52
kdubphux: i'd be asking for my money back if i went to that school....00:52
CobZoalosa: freebsd 8.2 and 8-STABLE are at zfs v15 and 9-CURRENT is at v28, so no00:52
scott__G_Val, no.  What did you say again?00:52
G_Valthe strange thing is that fdisk can recognize my partition but gparted and live cd partition utility cannot00:52
phuxkdub: i'm from germany, i dont pay for university :)00:52
scott__Localhost666: I believe so00:53
phuxabstrakt: as i said: thank you, its on my list now :)00:53

aeon-ltdphux: whats the catch? of no uni fees00:53
gnosismy freshman cs courses taught scheme, ocaml, and java00:54
G_Valscott__: i have a problem with boot linux os, this happen only after i restored a table-partition which was accidentally deleted with testdisk !00:54
gnosisocaml is shit, absolute shit00:54
phuxkdub: im not into that, i come from the other side (north) of germany...we dont like bavarians...00:54
G_Valscott__: i tried all, grub, reinstall drivers but nothing happen, so i used gparted from livecd and i tried to restore my file system ! but it gives me an error00:55
kdubaeon-ltd: high income tax is the catch (at least in bavaria)00:55
G_Valscott__:fdisk recognize my partition as you can see here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/594267/ but gparted and utility for creating partition integrated in live cd doesn't work00:55
phuxabstrakt: no, excepting you mean revisioning control management (like git)00:55
aeon-ltdkdub: work in france... :)00:56
phuxaeon-ltd: no catch...00:56
aciculaits full of french :/00:56
abstraktphux, http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ use it, enjoy, rinse, repeat00:56
edbianG_Val: What do you mean it 'doesn't work'  does the partition even show up?00:56
G_Valscott__: i don't want format my hd cause i have an additional OS !00:56
G_Valexactly i cannot see partition00:57
G_Valedbian: i cannot see them, and i can't reinstall only linux os00:57
aeon-ltdphux: best country ever.00:57
phuxaeon-ltd: well, you gotta pay 300$ per semester but you're getting a metro ticket for that, too00:57
aeon-ltdphux: thats still good, learn some german, get a degree, lifestyle change. meh esp with high amount of places to rent :)00:58
G_Valedbian: so i tried to restore file system but it gives me an error00:58
edbianG_Val: In the upper right hand corner is a hard drive selector thingy.  Are you looking at the right hdd ?00:58
G_Valedbian: yes man as you can see i have only 2 hd00:58
G_Valedbian: sda is ehre my linnux and win os are located00:59
edbianG_Val: screen shot me what gparted sees on the harddrive you're trying to edit.  Can you do that?00:59
G_Valedbian: is where*00:59
edbianG_Val: I see that.00:59
G_Valsure but is quite easy ! it says unallocated space xD00:59
G_Valedbian: sure but is quite easy ! it says unallocated space xD01:00
edbianG_Val: no picture then.  What does the other drive show in gparted?01:00
gnosisphux: *jealousy*  college is fucking expensive in the US01:00
phuxaeon-ltd: what would you say if i tell you that you also get up to 700$ each month(depending on your parents' income) and you gotta pay back at most the half? :P01:00
G_Valedbian: the secnd one could be recognized and works greatly01:01
G_Valedbian: only  the first one cannot be seen idk why01:02
edbianG_Val: I think the partition table is messed up.  I'm not really sure.  You should use dd to make a backup or something right now01:02
edbianG_Val: wait01:02
gnosisphux: my ex-g/f has >$100k in school loans01:02
phuxgnosis: yeah, i think it's not the best idea to reserve the education for the better earning families01:02
aeon-ltdphux: ok there is something seriously wrong with all the other countries in the world, except netherlands & germany01:02
edbian!ot01:02
ubottu#ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!01:02
aeon-ltdedbian: sorry i'll go there now01:03
edbianaeon-ltd: no worries! :)01:03
s33krany server for random help about linux?01:03
edbianI just wanna talk about Ubuntu01:03
edbians33kr: There is a linux channel on this server I believe01:03
Paddy_NIs33kr: ##linux perhaps01:03
G_Valedbian: man i check my data on the first HD and there is no issue with that ! Maybe if i can reinstall only the os i am so happy, or i can back up my data from old partition and "paste" on the new one ! A secure backup is appreciated also01:03
phuxabstrakt: yes, but as im still in a single "development" environment, ill put it at the bottom of my list01:04
TechnicusHello . . . how do I find the title of a window?  I am trying to embed konsole on a Gnome desktop.  This is the tutirial I am following: [ http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/ubuntu-embed-terminal-into-you-desktop.html ].  For it to work I need to know the title of the konsole window that opens.01:04
edbianG_Val: I think if you partition again with gparted there will be no issue (besides your data being erased).  What initially caused this problem?01:04
KINGOFSWORDShi01:04
edbianTechnicus: The 'title' is what shows up in the title bar (next to the x + and -)01:04
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: hello :)01:05
KINGOFSWORDSi have no titlebar on my windwows....is there anyway of sorting this out without restarting compiz?01:05
KINGOFSWORDShi edbian01:05
G_Valedbian: i accidentally deleted original patition-table with testdisk...but i immediately restored it01:05
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: go to tty1, run this: compiz --replace&, switch back to graphics01:05
KINGOFSWORDSis ttyl a cmd or program?01:05
edbianG_Val: That is probably what gparted is freaking about.  Perhaps it isn't restored or it isn't restored correctly01:05
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: press ctrl + alt + F1 to switch to it.  It's a virtual terminal.01:06
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: you can switch back by ctrl + alt + F7  (graphical)01:06
G_Val!time01:06
matsuracicula: got it! iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 9999 --sport 80 -j ACCEPT just needed to add the sport01:06
ubottuInformation about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP)01:06
G_Valedbian: so should i reinstall all ?01:07
aciculamatsur: using DNAT or REDIRECT?01:07
edbianG_Val: If you can.  I"m in over my head now01:07
matsurREDIRECT01:07
KINGOFSWORDSctrl alt F1 just goes to black screen01:07
jzacsh_anyone know how to get (or what its called ) smjs (or the spidermonkey javascript shell) in ubuntu?01:07
jzacsh_http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/smjs.1.html01:07
G_Valedbian: how long are u here ?01:07
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: press enter on that screen. There should be a thing to log in.01:07
edbianG_Val: what do you mean?01:07
KINGOFSWORDSnah theres nothing there ...just a bit of static at top of screen01:07
G_Valedbian: is there a way to not reinstall all programs after formatting ? something to restore all from old partition's data01:08
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: Can you press alt + F2 to launch a command window thingy01:08
matsuracicula: a little odd... everything i can find online seems to suggest redirect puts stuff onto loopback, but i have a catch all accept everything on lo rule as rule 1 in INPUT and it was not working01:08
G_Valedbian: i mean today01:08
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: I'm betting since you don't have borders that you can't just open a terminal or we'd use that01:08
hiexpocommand window thingy     hehe01:08
KINGOFSWORDSctrl alt f2 is messed up too01:09
KINGOFSWORDSbut normal terminal is okk01:09
edbianG_Val: You can use dd to copy from the entire partition to a folder or another partition. (make a backup)  Then partition the disk and put the copies into those partitions.01:09
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: ok great.  Can you type in the normal terminal?01:09
mr0wlIs GNOME 3 available on Natty?01:09
edbianhiexpo: :)01:09
KINGOFSWORDSedbiian just ran ur cmd in normal terminal and worked great ty01:09
aciculamatsur: yeah, all this does is a more precise match, so dunno01:10
edbianmr0wl: natty is going to use unity instead of gnome3  (but they are similar)01:10
G_Valedbian: ok but what about my win os ?01:10
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: glad I could help01:10
KINGOFSWORDSis ctrl alt f1 or f2 the terminal outside of the gui?01:10
edbianG_Val: You can do the same thing01:10
aciculamr0wl: nope, there are ppa's though01:10
KINGOFSWORDSis it a problem that it doesnt work? maybe a graphics driver issue01:10
G_Valedbian: so many data01:10
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: Yes.  There should be 6 virtual terminals on F1 through F6 (F7 is graphical)01:10
G_Valedbian: soo *01:10
KINGOFSWORDSwould update sort that out?01:10
G_Valedbian: soo i have to reinstall all O__O01:11
mr0wlThe PPAs are for Natty only?01:11
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: Sometimes the graphics driver chops it off though.  Try using the auto -thingy on the monitor01:11
matsuracicula: this does a more precise match on 9999 input... previously 9999 was open and connectable, now it appears closed. thats all i was going for, the redirect worked fine before01:11
edbianG_Val: I know.  That's the problem01:11
aciculamr0wl: no01:11
edbianG_Val: You don't have to reinstall.  YOu just have to partition01:11
KINGOFSWORDSauto thingy?01:11
G_Valedbian: i cannot restore only windows partition table and install onòly linux ? i mean from testdisk01:11
KINGOFSWORDSoh its laptop01:11
aciculamatsur: ah ok01:11
mr0wlK gonna try it out.01:11
KINGOFSWORDSno auto tune01:11
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: Oh, then nevermind the laptop monitor probably doesn't have the auto-thingy01:11
mr0wlThanks01:11
KINGOFSWORDSyeh01:11
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: I'm not sure why TTY1 isn't working01:12
hiexpoyou needto open that thingy and type out that thangy     omg01:12
KNUBBIGHi, I booted back into the live cd and tried cfdisk which doesnt work and gparted which again tells me wrong partitions. Any ideas01:12
edbianhaha01:12
aciculamr0wl: best follow up in #ubuntu+1, its meant for natty. Also make sure you know how to undo the changes you make as you may runinto some problems01:12
edbianwords words words01:12
KINGOFSWORDSive been in the non gui b4 but think it was on karmic01:12
swattoAnyone know how to map the windows key to open terminal? Tried adding through keyboard shortcuts but it wont let me use it?01:12
mr0wlOk, will do.01:12
G_Valedbian: did u understand what i mean ?01:12
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: All versions should have it.  Strange that it isn't working01:13
edbianG_Val: no, rephrase it please01:13
G_Valedbian: i cannot restore only windows partition table and install onòly linux ? i mean from testdisk01:13
KINGOFSWORDSi had real bad problems installing graphics driver so think that has coused a comflict or s'thing01:13
hiexpoKINGOFSWORDS, is becoming aregular customer here   :)01:13
KINGOFSWORDSbtw is it possible to downgrade wine?01:13
hiexpo!downgrade01:14
ubottuAttempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system.01:14
KINGOFSWORDSlol true...this is my linux school =)01:14
=== torjehoa is now known as cybrhuman
edbianG_Val: Not exactly re-phrased but.  There is 1 partition table for each harddrive.  Not for each partition or each OS.  It sounds to me like the partition table for that harddrive is messed up or wrong which is why gparted can't see the partitions but fdisk can01:14
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: That is very likely to have caused the problem yes01:14
alosaCobZo http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/01:14
Ben64KINGOFSWORDS: open synaptic, find wine, and it will let you choose version01:14
KINGOFSWORDSno not downgraded wine yet....01:14
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: uninstall wine.  Then use synaptic to force install an old version01:15
KNUBBIGG_Val, what is your prob? Sounds similar to mine01:15
edbian(it is possible)01:15
KINGOFSWORDSyeh i stupdily dled wine 1.301:15
G_Valedbian: yes maybe i can restore the partition table by deleting linux from that01:15
KINGOFSWORDSor the newest ver01:15
Ben64KINGOFSWORDS: whats wrong with 1.3?01:15
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: You shouldn't be downloading anything.  use the wine that is in the repos01:15
hiexpoor compile it yourself is better01:15
G_ValKNUBBIG: which one ? i can open a blog called "the issues of ubuntu"01:15
KINGOFSWORDSwill i lose my programs thou if i uninstall or downgrade?01:15
edbianG_Val: IDK man.  You can try.  I don't know how to manually edit the partition table of a hdd01:15
KNUBBIGG_Val, ;d, the one with the partitions01:15
KINGOFSWORDSsorry yeh i used synaptic to dl01:15
KINGOFSWORDSBen64 isnt 1.3 a beta/testing ver01:16
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: I am pretty sure you can remove wine.  You shouldn't lose the programs because they aren't part of hte package01:16
G_ValKNUBBIG: uhm i cannot boot linux os cause i accidentally deleted a partition-table but i restored immediately01:16
Ben64KINGOFSWORDS: its development yeah, but it works fine01:16
G_ValKNUBBIG: Strangest thing never happen : windows os works great linux doesn't01:16
maguey_What shall modif in my ~/.screenrc in order to be able to open X apps01:16
KINGOFSWORDSwine 1.3 kinda hangs and the GUI messes up s'times01:16
swattoI have added a program to the Startup Applications list but i do not have an autorun directory in my home folder?01:17
G_Valedbian: i will try in this way i cannot delete windows data i have no enough space01:17
KINGOFSWORDSit might be the same in a lower ver thou01:17
KNUBBIGG_Val, okay, my windows also detects partitions correctly and Ubuntu doesnt01:17
edbianG_Val: ok?01:17
KINGOFSWORDSgta san andreas plays great in it thou..so shouldnt complain01:17
G_ValKNUBBIG: only fdisk recognize them01:17
KNUBBIGG_Val, my fdisk partly recognises them, but not completely correct01:18
G_Valedbian: ok ehat man sorry ? i am in over my head also01:18
KNUBBIGI cant even install Ubuntu :(01:18
G_Valedbian: i am trying t find solution by 4 days01:18
edbianG_Val: yeah.  I can't offer advice about what to do :(01:18
edbianG_Val: ouch.  Sorry to hear that01:18
hiexpodev is always better i think but one reason ubuntu don't use dev's is cause the chance of problems and support and ubuntu is aimed at helpingnew users from microft to llinux01:18
G_ValKNUBBIG:  yes but before worked great01:19
edbianKNUBBIG: what is stopping you?01:19
G_Valedbian: don't worry is normal for teenagers xD01:19
KINGOFSWORDSedbian ; got this in terminal after ur cmd [1] 206101:19
KINGOFSWORDS,: command not found01:19
KINGOFSWORDSjames@ubuntu:~$ compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/ubuntu.png01:19
ssmmddHi, I can't get Ubuntu to start from CD or Install onto my system as it can't seem to find or connect to my SATA RAID Array. Is there anything I can do? Asus Motherboard with an Nvidia Chipset.01:19
KNUBBIGedbian, neither fdisk nor gparted detect the right partitions, Im running a fake raid and somehow Ubuntu tries to detect the partitions on the first member disk of the array which is kinda stupid01:20
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: On the top and bottom of the cube are pictures.  There is a setting to point to what file to use for that picture.  The error is saying that that file does not exist.01:20
edbianKNUBBIG: Mmmm, Ubuntu with raids.  I have no experience with that :(01:20
terje_q/bye01:20
KINGOFSWORDSah ..so its just because i changed the picture then moved/deleted png?01:20
KNUBBIGedbian, :( I thought I had, had the same setup with a similar onboard controller running on my old comp :(01:21
edbianKNUBBIG: :(01:21
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: yes probably01:21
KINGOFSWORDScool thank you very much01:21
KNUBBIGssmmdd, is there any error message?01:21
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: because you ran compiz in the terminal you will see all sorts of errors.  Most of them can probably be ignored.01:22
G_Valedbian: what is DD ?01:22
=== alien_ is now known as Guest4023
edbianG_Val: It's a command in the terminal.  It converts and copies things.  look at man dd01:22
ssmmddKNUBBIG: Running from CD: No, it just freezes. When trying to install, it asks if SATA RAID should be activated, I say yes, but then shows no partitions. I should mention it's RAID 5 and NTFS.01:23
G_Valedbian: ok i will thanks anyway man !01:23
KINGOFSWORDSyeh i seen the same one the other day...remember getting a logo or s'thing on top of cube01:23
MK`I want to connect to a "Microsoft XPS Document Writer", which printer driver do I select? Generic?01:23

a3Debya01:24
a3Debi think it's goine01:25
a3Debgone*01:25
KNUBBIGssmmdd, okay so Ive got no idea, sorry, I also cant get Ubuntu to detect my correct disk layout on my RAID01:25
oscargota3Deb: are you in Ubuntu? Did you change anythin/01:25
PW-toXichi, my samba server doesnt work anymore.. can someone give me a hint how i can debug it?01:25
a3Debi'm on backtrack01:25
a3Debwhich is like ubuntu01:25
ssmmddHmmm, bugger. No one from Ubuntu support atm?01:25
ssmmdd+ around01:25
edbianssmmdd: we're here01:26
ssmmddKNUBBIG: What Motherboard, what Chipset?01:26
edbiana3Deb: Then we can't help :(01:26
ssmmddAh, okay edbian. :)01:26
edbiana3Deb: This is Ubuntu support01:26
KNUBBIGssmmdd, ASUS P8P67  Pro, Intel Controller01:26
a3Debbacktrack is ubuntu01:26
Ben64no, ubuntu is ubuntu01:27
genii-around!backtrack01:27
ubottuThere are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition01:27
edbiana3Deb: They are similar but not the same01:27
ssmmddHmmmm, Ubuntu must not like 3rd party RAID Controllers, do you know if yours is Hardware or Software RAID?01:27
a3Debwell this sucks...01:27
xiamxIs there anyway to control the bandwidth and speed of a openvpn client?01:27
KNUBBIGssmmdd, software afaik01:27
edbiana3Deb: Go to the backtrack channel01:27
ssmmddKNUBBIG: Hmmmm, Ubuntu must not like 3rd party RAID Controllers, do you know if yours is Hardware or Software RAID?01:27
KINGOFSWORDSany1 heard of plymouth for ubuntu?01:27
a3Debi thought backtrack was ubuntu except with "hacker" files01:27
ssmmddHmmmm, mine's Hardware.01:28
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: I've heard of it.  Make splash screens during boot01:28
ssmmddWhat RAID, KNUBBIG? 0? 1?01:28
edbiana3Deb: I'm not sure of the exact differences.  They are similar though01:28
KNUBBIGssmmdd, 101:28
a3Debso join #backtrack01:28
ssmmddI can never remember if that's Backup or Speed...01:28
KINGOFSWORDSoh ok i thought it says it will sort out my virtual terminal and glx problem01:28
KNUBBIGssmmdd, speed01:28
ssmmddAh. Ta. :)01:28
a3Debthanks guys01:28
ssmmdd5 is both.01:28
ssmmddBut you need 3+ HDDs.01:29
KNUBBIGnp :), yup but01:29
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: Not that I know of but possibly01:29
KNUBBIGyes :D01:29
ssmmddExpense ++01:29
ssmmddAnyway, hopefully someone can help us soon. :)01:29
arch_is_awesomeHello, I was wondering: If I get the 11.04 beta will it upgrade to stable once it comes out?01:29
arch_is_awesomeOr will it be a mess?01:30
KNUBBIGI hope so, the last idea I got was to remake all partitions so the partition table might be fixed, but thats not guaranteed01:30
edbianarch_is_awesome: yes01:30
edbianarch_is_awesome: (it might be a mess)01:30
KINGOFSWORDSis it ok 2 update grub?01:31
arch_is_awesomeOkay, thanks. edbian: Do you have nightlies?01:31
yockShould I be able to upgrade to the Natty beta from Maverick in the Update Manager?01:31
ssmmddKNUBBIG: Nah, I was assuming it would see the partitions and you could just install it next to Windows.01:31
KINGOFSWORDSwill it affect anything01:31
edbianarch_is_awesome: Do I have nightlies?01:31
arch_is_awesomeDoes ubuntu?01:31
KNUBBIGssmmdd, that was true for my old PC, but somehow it isnt for the new one01:31
edbianyock: not unless you do update-manager -d in the term01:31
edbianarch_is_awesome: I don't know...01:31
ssmmddKNUBBIG: You have Windows Intalled?01:31
arch_is_awesomeNightly builds..01:31
edbianarch_is_awesome: Ubuntu is not arch ;)01:31
KNUBBIGssmmdd, zes01:31
arch_is_awesomehaha01:31
KNUBBIGyes, damn kb layout01:31
arch_is_awesomeOkay then bye01:32
edbianhahaha01:32
ssmmddVersion? HDD Formatting type?01:32
edbianarch_is_awesome should just use arch!01:32
MK`I want to connect to a "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" on my network, which printer driver do I select? Generic?01:32
patrhi on ubuntu 10.10 2006 comp01:32
KNUBBIGssmmdd, Win 7, what do you mean with formatting type?01:32
yockedbian: Thanks!01:32
ssmmddKNUBBIG: FAT32? NTFS?01:32
KNUBBIGssmmdd, NTFS01:32
patridk01:32
ssmmddKNUBBIG: 32 or 64 bit?01:32
edbianyock: no problem  (it worked ?)01:33
KNUBBIGssmmdd, 6401:33
ssmmddHmmm.01:33
yockedbian: Yep. Updating now.01:33
ssmmddKNUBBIG: Wonder if it's something to do with Win 64 bit / NTFS?01:33
patrtry virtual box have a win7 cd right?01:33
edbianyock: Hope you like it!!!01:33
KNUBBIGssmmdd, dont think so, had that on my old pc, too01:33
ssmmddAh, okay.01:33
diego_#tupa01:34
ssmmddKNUBBIG: Must simply be that it doesn't like our RAID Controllers without special Drivers.01:34
patrif your runing 32 bit  you cant run 64bit01:34
KNUBBIGssmmdd, true :)01:34
patrwin 7-vista only can take ntfs01:34
ssmmddKNUBBIG: I know Windows has a mode so you can pre-load specially needed Drivers during Install.01:34
arch_is_awesomeedibuntu: Ubuntu calls them daily instead of nightly.01:34
edbianpatr: but Ubuntu can read ntfs01:34
arch_is_awesomehttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/01:34
ssmmddKNUBBIG: Not sure if Ubuntu does it too.01:34
patrxp or win2k  cna take fat 3201:34
edbianpatr: but Ubuntu can read/write* ntfs01:34
edbianarch_is_awesome: there ya go01:35
arch_is_awesomeThanks01:35
edbianarch_is_awesome: You should just use arch :)01:35
arch_is_awesomeArch is messy01:35
KNUBBIGssmmdd, mh, no idea too, but it detects _some_ partitions on my RAID, but not all ...01:35
patri know just saying01:35
ssmmddedbian: Any idea with mine & KNUBBIG's problem?01:35
edbianssmmdd: no clue01:35
ssmmddKNUBBIG: Lucky, I get none at all.01:35
edbianssmmdd: :(01:35
edbianarch_is_awesome: arch is awesome01:35
patrwhat is a rsid card?01:35
patrraid card01:36
ssmmddedbian: Okay, no problem, should I post the problem on a forum or does Ubuntu have some sort of support centre?01:36
arch_is_awesomeI actually like arch! Yet, Ubuntu is good. I am not a fanboy of any distro: quadruple booting Arch, Chakra, Ubuntu, and Fedora01:36
bruenigarch is not messy, it is super clean01:36
patrwhat is a raid card?01:36
edbianpatr: raid lets you connect multiple hdds into cool configurations like automatic backup or striping to improve performance01:36
arch_is_awesomeTwo are arch based!01:36

edbianssmmdd: You're in the support center.  A forum post is a great idea.01:36

KINGOFSWORDShow do i creade a file?01:37
bruenigarch and chakra are the same thing01:37
edbianpatr: It needs to either have a card (hardware raid) or support in the motherboard or the OS can do it.01:38

arch_is_awesomewell bye01:38

KINGOFSWORDSi had issue with kernel obstructing internet connection so was fearful of updating it and grub01:54
edbianKINGOFSWORDS: kernels updates are rare.  Plus the old versions are left in the grub menu so you can still use them after an update01:54

CCNYI have a nice HP tablet PC that runs nicely01:57
edbianJetpack: ahh, I'm not up to date on that.01:57
JetpackI meant to include a decent graphics card01:58
rogeriosomeone can say me if Ubuntu current stable version 10.10 is LSB compliant?01:58
pfifoxubuntu 10.10 looks exactly the same as gnome01:58
gnosisrcconf: ?01:58

ziltoid83hallo01:59
ziltoid83i has question02:00
pfifook i have a question, I cant sudo, i am in both the sudo and admin and root groups, i have uncommented lines in sudoers, using visudo, done this over 9000 time but this time I cant get it to work.02:00
edbianpfifo: log out and back in02:00
ziltoid83can ubuntu's startup disk creator make a bootable usb of puppy linux from an iso?02:00
pfifoedbian, i did thrice, set a valid hostname, setup a hosts file, natty, i mean notta02:01
edbianpfifo: Can you pastebin /etc/sudoers for me?02:01
pfifoyes02:01
gnosispfifo: what happens when you try to sudo?02:01
brightsparkrogerio, no.  it uses debs instead of rpms02:02
pfifognosis, it says "pfifo is not in the sudoers file, this incident will be reported'02:02
pfifoROOT can use sudo no problem02:03
rogeriojust for this reason?02:03
Ben64pfifo: root doesn't need to use sudo02:03
rogeriook. thanks for answer02:03
pfifoedbian, http://pastebin.com/Kraq1p7F02:03
pfifoBen64, of course, but root cn still run the command, and it works as expected02:04
Ben64root can run anything with full permissions02:04
rogerioso Debian, is not LSB compliant too...02:04
Ben64pfifo: anyway, you need to make sure your user is part of the 'admin' group02:04
edbianpfifo: is admin a group or a user?02:04
FloatingGoatyo ubuntu people, where is the unity channel? :D02:05
pfiforoot@pfifo-laptop:/home/pfifo# groups pfifo02:05
pfifopfifo : pfifo root sudo audio video admin gdm02:05
brightsparkrogerio, there may be others.  and you are correct about debian02:05
edbianpfifo: if admin is a group then in /etc/sudoers you need %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL02:05
edbiana percent sign is needed for groups02:05
Ben64edbian: nice catch, i didn't notice the missing %02:06
edbianBen64: :)02:06

Ben64change password to ! in the shadow file02:09
pfifoedbian, due to the sudo problem, i setup root password for maintence02:09
edbianpfifo: How did you loose sudo for yourself?02:10
AegisXHi guys; I'm looking to make my Ubuntu laptop and Windows 7 desktop work together. This would include synching certain folders, ability to control my Windows box from Linux (is this SSH? I'm not too familiar with networking) and so on. Does anyone have any pointers?02:10
pfifoedbian, i installed via debootstrap, cause i wanted xubuntu and only have the ubuntu iso on my memory stik02:10
pfifoedbian, so the never was sudo or pfifo or anything02:11
KM0201AegisX, syncing folders should be easy, SSH should work your needs, but if you want a "easy" way to do that.. look up "Teamviewer" it has a Linux and Windows version, and will make controlling either desktop from the other, very easy02:11
Ben64pfifo: make root's line in /etc/shadow similar to mine "root:!:13818:0:99999:7:::"02:11
edbianpfifo: I see!  fixed now :)02:11
edbianAegisX: You can set up ssh server on windows but because windows is a GUI based OS it is generally easier to use something like rdesktop02:12

gnosisoracle_vm: are you transferring lots of small files?02:31
obengdakooracle_vm, i also believe the pipe is long so just use simple dd though you wont have the progress02:31
oracle_vmmickster04: somebody just told me it may be becuase it's a sector to sector copy of a drive that it's slower02:31
obengdakoyou can monitor file size02:31
oracle_vmgnosis: no02:31
gnosisah, i just looked back at your orig command, nm02:32
obengdakoyes that also account it is a raw copy02:32
mickster04oracle_vm: oh yeah, so it'll probably be doing lots of checks or whatever which won't help speed much02:32
oracle_vmobengdako: so raw copies are inherently slower?.. i wouldn;t have thought so for some reason02:32
obengdakonope they aren't because they are raw but i also was thinking your pipe | made the process too long02:33
firered365hello02:34
lwizardlhow do i make it so I can compress iso disc images via right click menu ?02:34
oracle_vmobengdako: I've done dd with much smaller transfer like less than 10Gb ,, I would be antsy about anything larger without any indication of it's prgress02:34
firered365I need help installing linux on windows Me02:35
obengdakojust a simple dd if=/dev of=/ would do but the piping for progress might slow it down02:35
lwizardlfirered365, umm format the hdd to remove that horrible OS and then start the installer02:35
gnosisfirered365: you're shitting me02:35

l3aked4uftwaroman: if you stay away from nvidia you may be fine02:38
aromanl3aked4uftw: what do you mean?02:38
mickster04test: so your profiloe is kaput?02:38
l3aked4uftwaroman: for ati cards there may be a solution with open drivers (same with nvidia if you re lucky)02:38
pfifohow do i disable notifications, in fact how do i disable EVERYTHING that wants to automatically do anything without my explicitly typing a command on the command line02:38
gnosisfirered365: have you backed up any files you want to keep?02:38
aromanl3aked4uftw: oh you mean opensource drivers, as opposed to using proprietary ones?02:38
obengdakookay okay then i guess you have to do the slow dd for 250GB oracle_vm  sorry02:38
testmickster04: yep looks like it, must have messed about so much thats something is screwed02:39
aromanl3aked4uftw: I was under the impression they offered inferior performance.02:39
l3aked4uftwaroman: you may want to have a read at "optimus" technology for nvidia and "switchable graphics" for ati02:39
webroastershey guys. how can i get onto a mailing list that sends me an email every time a new release of ubuntu comes out? I've been looking all over for that02:39
testmickster04: at least its not an OS reinstall02:39
l3aked4uftwaroman: they may offer inferior performance but they re the only that let you switch02:39
mickster04aroman: then the easiest solution is to create a new user with admin privalidges and remove the old one imo02:39
webroastersi know 11.04 is coming soon, and I wanted to get an email when it was ready02:39
firered365Dont want to back up any files02:39
oracle_vmobengdako: next time i'll go for internal sata02:39

webroasterslol. funny02:40
mickster04aroman: i saw your nick and typed it :p02:40
l3aked4uftwaroman: dual card = integrated card for low demanding stuff, discrete card for high demanding02:40
Ben64webroasters: the schedule is very consistent02:40
mickster04test then the easiest solution is to create a new user with admin privalidges and remove the old one imo02:40
gnosisfirered365: go into bios and set cd drive as first boot device02:40
obengdakooracle_vm, hehehe02:40
webroastersright i know02:40
firered365How do i do that02:40
webroastersbut a newsletter or something would be nice02:40
aromanl3aked4uftw: The switching/optimus system lets the OS decide which card is best for the task at hand, right?02:40
testmickster04: I need to get some stuff from Home directory though02:40
aromanl3aked4uftw: like per-application, I thought.02:40
mickster04webroasters: a newsletter saying what?02:40
gnosisfirered365: reboot, it should say how to go into setup, usually F1 or delete02:40
SP_0takuissue is with booting.02:41
webroastersnevermind02:41
mickster04test: copy /home/user /home/newuser02:41
webroastersthanks guys02:41
l3aked4uftwaroman: nvidia offers NO support for linux (only open drivers do)  ati offers open drivers which may in a future (not a far one i suppose) work with linux , if you buy a so called dual card equipped laptop it will have that technology and if you have a nvidia you will only use the intel/amd integrated card (not sure amd has a gma-like product)02:41
firered365it doesnt say02:41

milindi am trying to change the primary display in ubuntu 10.10 to my external gateway 23 inch monitor. I have a ati radeon hd 6250 graphics card and the ati catalyst does not have an option to choose which display to put as my primary display. What should i do?02:41
testmickster04: how can i create the swatto account again02:41
pupycan somebody help me? why wouldn't ubuntu boot windows xp in /dev/sda1?02:42
gnosisfirered365: are you doing this on another comp right now?02:42
firered365yes02:42
l3aked4uftwaroman: simple example, you boot up your windows system and open paint, here you re using the integrated card, then you get bored and wanna play lets say crysis? it automatically turns on the discrete one, on linux this isnt widely supported yet, and won't be (seems so) from nvidia anyways02:42
pupyall I get is a cursor blinking02:42
oracle_vmobengdako: I just checked the chart on wikipedia for usb,sata and thunderbolt transfer speeds.. i for one can;t wait for thunderbolt in everything..02:42
pupywell ubuntu...grub202:42
aromanl3aked4uftw: In that situation, is there any dual combo that would work with Linux?02:42
gnosisfirered365: when you turn on the computer, before getting to windows, it should show something like "press F1 to enter setup"02:43

firered365press F1 to start02:43
oracle_vmobengdako: thunderbolt is 1,250MBps transfer speed..02:43
l3aked4uftwaroman: nexuiz should work with gma i think, in the last years i been using only those lol02:43
gnosisfirered365: try just continually pressing F1, F2, and delete while it's booting then02:43
oracle_vmobengdako: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA#Comparison_to_other_buses02:43
gnosisit should go into a very old looking menu screen02:43

a3Debi want it to double click and bam, there's the directory02:57

UbuntuFanatic:P05:07
Braiamfrom -4000 and above is friday05:07
izinucsworldwarcheese: if the netbook has an arm processor then I think you need the arm version of ubuntu or the netbook remix/unity05:08
ouyesalex__, first make sure your hardware switch of wireless function is on, then paste the output of ifconfig05:08
alex__what are you looking for in my ifconfig05:08
UbuntuFanaticWe need all of it.05:08
UbuntuFanaticDon't protest, we are trying to help you. We're not evil people.05:09
UbuntuFanaticSorry if I am across as blunt, by the way.05:09
UbuntuFanaticNot intended.05:09
worldwarcheeseizinucs: Hmm... I might, I'll double check05:09
Ben64ouyes, UbuntuFanatic: I bet the wrong module is getting loaded and thats the whole problem, i bet it's not even in ifconfig05:09
Braiamalex__: the ip configuration05:09
rwhittleis gnome3 functional under maverick ?05:09
UbuntuFanaticBen64: possibly.05:09
UbuntuFanaticrwhittle, yeah, but not supported if I recall?05:09

Laggghow do I fix this?05:11
UbuntuFanaticouyes, he's saying we should just find the problem for alex__. No time wasting?05:11
UbuntuFanaticI think, sorry if I'm wrong, ouyes05:12
wujie 一位ALS患者在生命走到尽头前用脚贡献了最后一个代码补丁 http://cnbeta.com/articles/139856.htm05:12
ouyesalex__, have you enabled your wireless,?05:12
rwhittleBraiam, you must have me confused with someone else.  i did not mention natty in this channel05:12
UbuntuFanaticoops, *ben6405:12
UbuntuFanaticD:05:12
alex__for the 13th time yes05:12
UbuntuFanaticWhat does it look like?05:12
ouyeswujek, English channel here05:12
rwwwujie: You've been told about using English in here before. I don't feel like going through it again.05:12
UbuntuFanatic(when lookng at the toggle)05:12
alex__so.. nothing out of the ordinary?05:12
alex__my battery is going to go away soon05:12
alex__like half an hour.05:13
ouyesalex__, wait a moment05:13
UbuntuFanaticI found chinese Internet Explorer.05:13
Ben64alex__: your card isn't in there... and you should plug in the laptop :)05:13
UbuntuFanaticNever knew it existed.05:13
alex__so i pasted that junk for nothing05:13
alex__i already said only lo and eht005:13
Ben64alex__: no, calm down05:13
UbuntuFanaticrww, do the Floodbots take shifts or something? :P05:13
mickster04UbuntuFanatic: one gets tired and another takes over :D.05:14
red2kicFloodbots are human slaves. They take turns.05:14
UbuntuFanaticah. :D05:14
rwwUbuntuFanatic: there are multiple instances to compensate for lag and connection failures, and the rules for how many are opped up are... complicated.05:14
Ben64alex__: do "sudo modprobe ath9k" and see if that changes the output from "ifconfig" at all05:14
ouyesalex__,  try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ar928x-detected-by-ubuntu-but-no-access-points-are-visible-694984/05:14
UbuntuFanaticrww, ah, okay.05:14
worldwarcheeseizinucs, I don't think my eee pc is an ARM machine and I am just using the direct download iso from ubuntu's netbook page05:14
Braiamalex__: so the atheros module isn't loaded so try modprobe ath or ath9k05:14
alex__hrm05:15
UbuntuFanaticalex__, looks perfect for you.05:15
worldwarcheeseI've actually used Ubuntu NBR on it before, but I recently installed an Intel SSD (40gb)05:15
alex__ifconfig is the same after i execute modprobe ath without a warning05:15
alex__modprobe ath9k gave a warning05:15
UbuntuFanatic<ouyes> alex__,  try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ar928x-detected-by-ubuntu-but-no-access-points-are-visible-694984/05:15
izinucsworldwarcheese: which model?05:15
Braiamouyes: read his ifconfig output, only eth0 and lo05:15
worldwarcheeseizinucs, 1001he05:15
Braiamalex__: and is?05:16
[thor]worldwarcheese: <-- rocking the 64GB Intel X25 SSD05:16
[thor]as /05:16
Ben64alex__: what warning05:16
ouyesBraiam, just give it a try, before you have better advice05:16
worldwarcheese[thor] haha nice, did you have any issues when trying to install ubuntu afterwards? I don't think it's the problem but I'm just not sure anymore05:17
izinucsworldwarcheese: is that a model bought outside of the US?05:17
alex__hrm ath9k actually says fatal05:17
Ben64what does it say exactly05:17
UbuntuFanatic^05:17
worldwarcheeseizinucs, nope. Got it at yer friendly local large compu-retail store05:17
[thor]worldwarcheese: no problems at all, i even added a second ssd for /home/05:17
Braiamouyes: i had one and it was a pain05:17
alex__ATAL: Error inserting ath9k (/lib/modules/2.6.32-30-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)05:17
Obsidian1723how can I get sysklogd to start on system bootup?05:17
alex__so none of this actually has to do with user error does it?05:17
[thor]worldwarcheese: just don't defrag the drive.. ever.. for any reason.05:18
Ben64alex__: unlikely05:18
UbuntuFanaticalex__, we don't actually know if this is the issue.05:18
worldwarcheese[thor] then I wonder what the problem could be. I've tried to make other NBR boot drives with the manager but I'm having problem with other usb's "format"ing (no idea why)05:18
izinucsworldwarcheese: I got on asus's site to reference and didn't come up with anything.. but looks like [thor] says it's an Intel05:18
UbuntuFanatic[thor]: why? Just wondering. :p05:18
[thor]izinucs: no no, i use an intel..05:18
alex__um. so what's next05:18
alex__how deep am i going to go as a guinea pig giving free qa05:18
Braiamalex__: why don't try a diferent driver05:18
Ben64alex__: pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail -n 20"05:18
worldwarcheeseizinucs: it has an intel atom processor and a newly installed intel SSD (originally had hitachi 160 gb drive)05:19

alex__http://pastey.net/14909705:19
ouyesalex__,  1 turn the hareware switch on 2 enable your wireless network 3 follow the link I gave you05:19
izinucsworldwarcheese: just found that.. might be an issue with the ssd.. have you searched the ubuntuforums.org for others with the same problem?05:19
alex__ouyes, you've been saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over again05:20
[thor]UbuntuFanatic: there is a long explanation; suffice to say that ssd have a different method for disk usage, and the drive attempts to spread usage over the entire flash memory in order to avoid wearing it out..05:20
worldwarcheeseizinucs, I'm kinda doing that now (I've been away from home all week)05:20
UbuntuFanaticalex__, did you check his link..?05:20
UbuntuFanatic[thor], ah, thanks for explaining. I'm a bit nosey. :P05:20
alex__yes05:20
alex__and it's not really helpful05:20
Obsidian1723how can I get sysklogd to start on system bootup?05:20
UbuntuFanaticalex__, it'd say it is.05:20
ouyesalex__, you never did it step by step, you just need to make a fresh installation, you need to download the source code and make install , you will get it work05:21
[thor]UbuntuFanatic: can't learn a darn thing without being nosey.05:21
pehdenhow do i make sudo mv -i (ls -R /* grep | all.lst) ~/Desktop '   work05:21
UbuntuFanatic[thor], haha. ..thanks? LOL.05:21
worldwarcheeseizinucs, the only thing is the issues i'm getting seem to have to deal with the keyboard not the HD so i'm a little confused as to what to look for05:21
wujieI'm at school so many years of English, and finally got tired of this foreign language, I am a Chinese native speaker it is not wrong, you also can speak their mother tongue, the language should also open source open source community, inclusive, as the developer Under the Chinese should also learn, is not it05:21
UbuntuFanaticwujie, this is an English support channel.05:21
alex__ouyes05:21
alex__it failed at the first step05:22

wujieIf you have the French to French, Russians in Russian, but this can also learn from each other's language, the integration is important05:26
alex__o well. it looks like this isn't working out05:26
hblalakhow do i bring back grub05:26
Ben64alex__: oh thats kinda far... if you were closer i'd just go and fix it lol05:26
hblalaki tared the system05:26

hblalakusually in old grub its grub; find /boot/grub/stage105:27
worldwarcheeseizinucs, haha no problem. at least now I can say it wasn't just me. but now the issue of trying to remake the boot drive is more important. if i can at least troubleshoot by trying on different usbs i'd feel better but none of my usbs seem to be accepting a boot file05:27
UbuntuFanaticouyes, okay.05:27

alex__done05:28
alex__ouyes done05:28
hblalaknit-wit, because it has grub.cfg05:28
worldwarcheeseizinucs: I think i'll be able to make one work, but the problem is i have an old OSX boot on there and for the life of my can't remember how to get it off (it says read-only) which makes me feel all kinds of foolish05:28
nit-withblalak, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 this should help05:28

=== Senix is now known as Sinistar
worldwarcheeseUbuntuFanatic, don't know if this helps any but when I plug the flash drive in it is recocgnized by the Boot Disk Creator but not my filesystem...05:46
izinucsUbuntuFanatic: sorry.. anther nick similar to yours05:46
BraiamBen64: ouyes i had one and it give me a headache05:46
UbuntuFanatic I only just saw UbuntuN00b's message, or I would have said sooner. :$05:46
UbuntuFanaticworldwarcheese, that's really odd.. can't you just format it?05:46
apporcanyone can explain it.05:46
rockworldmiNo grub  menu, but an error message Gnome Power Manager in ubuntu 10.1005:46
ouyesalex__, ok sorry so many time waste,05:46
alex__so i'm guessing no one really has a solid idea of what the problem is. or even how to diagnose it.  is this safe to say?05:46
rockworldmiand cannot access grub05:46
BraiamBen64: so reloading the module isn't a bad idea05:46
alex__braiam, it errored.05:47
UbuntuFanaticalex__, sure. Free country. :P05:47
worldwarcheeseUbuntuFanatic: I tried using the Boot Disk Creator and it runs (making /dev/sde1 partition) but then when I try to open the partition to make the install drive nothing happens05:47
Ben64alex__: i have a decent idea of the problem, not sure of the solution05:47
ouyesalex__,  go to the synaptic and search wireless05:47
izinucsalex__: there's been lots of decent diagnostics done.. just nothing yet that has revealed the problem05:47
UbuntuFanaticworldwarcheese: That's really odd. :S05:47
UbuntuN00banybody have a minute to help me finish an advanced install (help me make sure grub is set up properly) dual boot 1 harddrive 1cf card05:47
ouyesalex__, and make the wireless- tools and network-manager reinstall05:47
gnosisalex__: what version of virtualbox and is your wifi adapter internal or external?05:48
ouyesalex__, first complete removel05:48
ouyesalex__, then install05:48
alex__what am i sudo apt-get removing?05:48
alex__exactly. before this casues me to disconnect from irc05:48
worldwarcheeseUbuntuFanatic: you're telling me. I've done this a hundred times over and NEVER seen this problem before.05:48
ouyesalex__, I tell you this , because I have come across the same problem as you are05:49
UbuntuFanaticworldwarcheese, is something different from before?05:49
worldwarcheeseJust to see what happens I'm pro'lly going to go downstairs and try on someone's :shudder: Windows machine out of frustration05:49
UbuntuFanaticYou said the W word. O:05:49
ouyesalex__, no it wouldnt, go to synaptic05:49
UbuntuFanaticKidding. :P05:49
rockworldmiNo grub  menu, but an error message Gnome Power Manager in ubuntu 10.1005:50
rockworldmipls help...05:50
ComnenusWindows has its place.  Just not here.05:50
alex__synaptic == ubuntu software center right?05:50
worldwarcheeseUbuntuFanatic: Only that these drives were used in an old SL install that when awry. Now I can't recocgnize, locate, format or remove files from them. It's insane05:50
rwwno05:50
UbuntuFanaticalex__, nononono.05:50
gnosisalex__: what version of virtualbox and is your wifi adapter internal or external?05:50
ouyesalex__, no here  system> administrator05:50
UbuntuFanaticworldwarcheese, it is. I'm intrigued now.05:50
Ben64gnosis: it's internal laptop one05:50
alex__ok i see a wireless-tools05:51
worldwarcheeseUbuntuFanatic: however, I've already tried on other USB's and the same issues are coming up. In fact, every drive attatched to my machine is seen as an unrecocgnized drive that needs "format"ing before I can use through the USB startup disk creator or whatever it's called05:51
ouyesalex__, system >administration>synaptic package manager05:51
worldwarcheeseIf I didn't need a working netbook by 7AM it'd be wicked interesting and I'd even show my roomates, but I have a flight to catch and this is the last thing I needed ;_;05:52
ouyesalex__, search wireless and  right click wireless-tools choose complete removel05:52
alex__so it's network-manager-pptp and wireless tools i need to reinstall ouyes?05:52
ouyesalex__, so the network-manager-pptp05:52
UbuntuFanaticworldwarcheese: Sounds just like Window-05:52
UbuntuFanaticxD05:52
alex__and this won't cause me to disconnect form irc?05:52
Ben64alex__: probably not05:53
worldwarcheeseUbuntuFanatic: Haha too right. And I hate to do and try Windows to solve the problem but I'm running out of time >_<05:53
TechnicusHello . . . is it possible to append a repository to the sources.list using cat?05:53
ouyesalex__, not reinstall, first complete removl05:53
alex__do i now how to reboot like windows?05:53
UbuntuFanaticworldwarcheese, I'm the same. I refuse to use it unless I have to. :/05:53
UbuntuFanaticand you never HAVE to.05:53
ouyesalex__, then install05:53
lahwrananyone know if this is trustworthy? http://stereopsis.com/flux/05:53
gnosisgoogle shows several people reporting virtualbox killing wifi drivers.  if it was working before vbox install, and not after, then vbox is likely the cause05:54
red2kiclahwran: I used it in the past. Meh. I went back to bright screen.05:54
gnosisTechnicus: cat reads files05:54
alex__ouyes05:54
alex__it says i have to remove ubuntu desktop05:54
worldwarcheeseI'll brb see what I can accomplish on a different OS right now. I'm honestly not expecting it to work, but maybe I'll be able to format them at least (who knows? I'll just trust in The Force for now). I'll keep you updated (if it works or not)05:54
UbuntuFanaticYou're just trolling now.05:54
ouyesalex__, you are kiding05:54
alex__?05:54
alex__screenshot?05:55
ouyesalex__, wait05:55
Ben64alex__: i believe you05:55
gnosisTechnicus: "cat file1 >> file2" will append the contents of file1 to the end of file205:55
SinistarI'm here for this reason as well: <lahwran> anyone know if this is trustworthy? http://stereopsis.com/flux/05:55
red2kiclahwran: I think there are different package name that does it -- but I can't remember it.05:55
UbuntuFanaticSinistar, it is.05:55
rob_pTechnicus: you could cat the new source and redirect the output to the sources.list.  Just make sure to use, ">>" and not, ">" otherwise you'll overwrite the file with *only* the new source.05:55
UbuntuFanaticSinistar, I use it, Wakoopa shows a bunch of users..05:55
UbuntuFanaticgood result(s)05:55
gnosisSinistar: i use flux05:55
ouyesalex__, ok  select removel not complete removel05:55
Khisanthsome sort of conflict that required removing the wireless tools would explain why wireless would suddenly stop working :)05:55
UbuntuFanaticalex__, screenshot.05:56
UbuntuFanaticdoit.05:56
ouyesalex__, removal05:56
Technicusgnosis: rob_p: I tried it using sudo and permission was denied.05:56
alex__same thing ouyes05:56
UbuntuFanaticI really disbelieve anything would ask you to kill off gnome-desktop.05:56
red2kiclahwran: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/redshiftgui-protects-your-eyes-when.html05:56
Ben64UbuntuFanatic: it happens if you try to remove a package that is in base ubuntu05:56
gnosisSinistar: hard to honestly say if it works, placebo effect and all05:56
UbuntuFanaticperhaps, but it just adds up.05:56
red2kiclahwran: I used it in the past so I can confirm it does change your monitor colors.05:56
gnosisTechnicus: paste command you used05:56
Ben64ouyes, alex__: i can't help but think you're going the wrong way in trying to solve this problem05:57
ouyesalex__, do nothing and left the synaptic05:57
Technicus$  sudo cat >>/etc/apt/sources.list05:57
Technicusbash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied05:57
gnosisTechnicus: no, you have to give it a file to read from05:57

lahwranTechnicus: sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null05:57
ouyesalex__, go into the synaptic again and make the two for removal05:57
lahwranTechnicus: WAIT DON"T DO THAT05:57
ouyesalex__, and apply05:57
lahwranTechnicus: sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null05:58

ouyesalex__, trust me just a few steps ahead05:58

gnosiseither do "sudo echo "blah" >> /etc/apt/sources.list" or "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"05:59

gnosisTechnicus: there are plenty of cli editors to use06:00
alex__you'd make a great employee ubuntufanatic.  i can't help u. get out of myf ace06:00

StarminnSarcasMo: Okay. Well then you've already got blank space from the sounds of it. That is correct? So you could install Ubuntu to that, as it is totally empty?09:28
SarcasMototally empty, windows can use it though09:28

fenring101Gentlemen, can anybody help with some power management issues?09:32
StarminnSarcasMo: Well you won't be using your external HDD so it doesn't matter. Besides, have you no other USB ports? You only need one. And again, why do you need the e-HDD plugged in all the time? :)09:32
bounderi'm back?09:33
SarcasMooke uplugged it now :p09:33

SarcasMoStarminn: do i have to use my e-HDD for this? i dont have any other USB devices09:36
roman__yes09:36
StarminnSarcasMo: It needs the burned .iso and only it on it, so if you have data on the e-HDD I'd advise against that.09:36
roman__dzięki:)09:37
StarminnAnd I'm not sure if computers can even boot from full-fledged HDDs09:37
SarcasMoso its impossible without erasing the e-HDD09:37
StarminnSarcasMo: What needs to be done to install it is your computer must boot from a LiveCD or LiveUSB, which means that you can actually run it without any hard drive.09:37
StarminnBut without any suitable external media (USB or CD) you can't do it. Can't even use WUBI as far as I know.09:38

harpaliceroot: yes09:40
Starminnljsoftnet: You can do it by default in the latest Firefox (FX4). IT's called "App tabs"09:40
icerootharpal: there should be a vbox-setup script (vbox TAB TAB) which will build the needed modules09:40
boundermornin all09:40

JPJhi09:50
Sverdhi, I have a strange problem, I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas. Im running ubuntu server 10.10 and if I use bash I cant type lower case e in console. Only way around was changing from bash to bin/sh.. but in sh I cant use the lowercase e in programs like lftp.09:50
erUSULSverd: what do you get instead of an e ?09:51
SverderUSUL: nothing, just a error message from putty.. like im trying to paste a blank cliboard09:51
Sverdit just plings :)09:51
cristiubuntu 10.10 unable to create ad-hoc wifi any ideeas how to find the problem or the problem it self ?09:51
erUSULSverd: so this happens on putty. not in a xterminal nor the console tty's. looks like a putty conffiguration issue09:52
SverderUSUL: its the same when im logged on to the server itself09:52
erUSULSverd: via alt + fn VT's =09:53
erUSUL?09:53
SverderUSUL: but I changed my used to use zsh, and I can use e now (as you can see), but lftp wont let me type it09:53
JPJDoes anyone know why ubuntu freezes while booting from a live USB?09:53
JPJThe USB works fine on all PCs except the netbook I'm trying to test it on09:54
SverderUSUL: alt + fn as in function?09:54
erUSULSverd: yes09:55
hihihi100ubuntu presently shows white text and black background on every icon in the main menu. But, Vidala and Skype, among other applications, show white text and white background, thus, not showing any text at all. Is there any way I can change the font color?09:57

Russehl-Athletichiho09:58
SverderUSUL: you lost me, sorry09:59
Russehl-Athleticit seems that on one pc with latest ubuntu all our init services are started in parallel but because our dhcp needs a bit longer than normal, we boot into gdm without proper nis stuff09:59
erUSULSverd: you may want to check "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" and see if everythng is ok09:59
Russehl-Athleticcan i somehow set that it should start nothing in parallel? boot time really does not matter10:00
JPJAt the end, will ubuntu 11.04 use unity or Gnome?10:00
erUSULJPJ: unity -- further questions in #ubuntu+110:00
erUSULRussehl-Athletic: maybe asking in #upstart ?10:01
ljsoftnetStarminn can i make the app tabs, be like ordinary tabs?10:01
SverderUSUL: ive done it several times, checked every setting and compared to another server it works on, still no go.. it seems like the letter e in lowercase is somehow changed to do a different function.. I can not figure out where and what10:01
ricmanany1 can help me on how to configure my laptop speaker coz ders no sound however on my headset sounds out good. thanks. pls help now only I install julinux8.10:02

ubottuThere are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

StarminnerUSL: I checked that and ubottu doesn't have it in her but it's so little-known.10:04

erUSULStarminn:  do not support any derivarive here afaik10:06
harpalthen did update-grub, but still no difference10:07
StarminnerUSL: I didn't think so. Do you know where JULinux is supported? ricman is on JULinux and I think we should at least be able to redirect him porperly. ;)10:07
erUSULharpal: coomment out the vars that have HIDDEN in /etc/default/grub10:07
erUSULharpal: then run update-grub10:07
obengdakocristi, you are using lan and want to create an adhoc, if gnome is your interface, click on create new wirless network, if that fails to do what you want, right click network manager and edit connections10:07

ricmankhisanth no sounds comes out only on headset have10:12
StarminnerUSUL: Bleh. The only channel I can find that claims to support JULinux is completely empty. So, just for future reference, there may not be an IRC support channel for it. (after 5 minutes of Googling)10:12
cristiy can conect to other lan or create the lan ( settings in manager ) but wen y try to connect to myself it say connection tyme out in the logs10:12

boumaubuntu 10.04 was installed recently and has some issues. which i would like to diagnose. so im thinking, seeing as i havent run tripwire or anything else which might have taken checksums, i guess i can use debsums, but when it comes to the boot system or kernel images, is there a recommended way to verify the integrity of grub and the kernel images from a boot disc11:10

bazhangP4ND3Y, thats not correct12:35
dustinNeo_,   you do what ?12:35
aciculabouma: well the kernel images are part of a package so also verified by debsum.12:35
bazhangrabten, is there a switch for wireless on the computer, and/or are you dualbooting12:36
BlarumyrranHello. (very) new Linux user here. Are all terminal windows logged somewhere by default; if so then where? If not then how do I do that?12:36

Neo_dustin, i want to capture video but i don't know the name of the peripheral (es: /dev/video0)12:36
ortsvorsteherBlarumyrran, how do you mean "logged"? do you mean a history?12:37
boumaacicula: ah, thanks. good point. and would this also extend to grub, i mean the various stages? cause they're not all simply files; it would be nice if deb's themselves had a built in integrity verifying system, and if this could extend to things like the stages of grub12:37

azmbazhang, clearly I'm trying to compile nc. Please do not direct me to synaptic.12:38
boumaacicula: right. are there any utils to check the grub boot chain? eg i dont believe that chkrootkit or rkhunter does this. it might be nice to make it part of grub itself. i mean without necessarily just reinstalling grub, as a means of 'verifying its integrity'12:38
azmmc* bazhang12:38
aciculabouma: well deb can not track files that are created by programs themselves, unless explicitly added by the deb maintainer, and even then its still a guess as what the file will contain12:38

Blarumyrranortsvorsteher, that only lists the commands; i'd want outputs too12:41
rabtenbazhang: http://pastebin.com/KPaE0UKg12:41
bazhangazm, and you have build-essential installed?12:42
aciculabouma: at best you can track the files so you can remove them safely for uninstall, which i would guess the grub2 deb will already do. But it wont be able to do integrity checks for you since appearantly the files change12:42
azmbazhang, yep12:42
aciculaacicula: or at least for me the stage files in /boot/grub are not the same as the one in /usr/share/grub/x8612:42
azmbazhang, http://pastie.org/179710612:42
aciculabouma: see above12:42
azmbazhang, and it says: configure: error: glib-2.0 not found or version too old (must be >= 2.8)12:43
ortsvorsteherBlarumyrran, if you want all commands and the output, you can start a script command and after you can read your logfile.12:43
liuzhongxiaowww.baidu.com12:43
aciculabouma: so if you want to track the integrity of such files you'll need to use something like tripwire or a more modern equivalent12:43

boumaacicula: yeah, it would be nice if the deb format included something like, ranges with check sums for each range, so that files that are understood to change can change but the portions which should not can still be verifed. for example. or even to describe a scheme so that the file can have its integrity checked no matter how it has changed. ie to guard against 'buffer overflowed fields' or insertion of binary data etc12:44

ania13latand 24 is pretty much equal to 32.13:13
PiciDaveIngram: It basically means that the kernel is holding on to a bunch of files in RAM so that they can be accessed more quickly than reading from disk. The kernel will free that cache if it needs to allocate ram to other processes.  Take a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ for some more details and examples.13:14

gnu_molesteranyone having some stupid Q: ?13:16
boumaand something i've never understood. when you install 10.04 it access the network, ie for time, and says that its getting the latest package updates, but then once its installed it need ~300meg of updates ontop of whatever it dl'ed during the install. it would be wonderful if it could be installed up to date13:16

sonoflilitmoment, will restart*13:24
jribGuest60593: right, that's if you wanted to know whether or not a package named PACKAGE is installed.  But we want to know whether or not gconf2 is installed, so you would run: apt-cache policy gconf2   and look at the "Installed:" line13:24
genuxthanks pici13:24
aciculasonoflilit: if you are using ufw you can just set the log level13:24
rob_psonoflilit: It just seems curious unless you are using some packet matching rate-limiting on the port(s) being used by your mail system.13:25

jribGuest60593: get the last apt-get command I gave you to succeed.  You'll notice there are version issues, likely because of your repository list.  So first you'll have to fix your sources.list.  Then you seem to be able to run python but just now you had a command that could not use python (lsb_release).  So you'll have to investigate that too.  Lastly, you'll want to make sure you get something like13:54

fisixspannerotoole, it's a laptop so it has a wireless and an ethernet. it shouldn't have "two ethernet cards" to my knowledge..14:10

spannerotoolemiteshShah, is it 32bit win7?14:16

spannerotooleubuntu runs as a file inside win714:18
cramejshi14:18
spannerotoolefisix, as you have two network interfaces, you need to allow both mac addresses into your router14:18
ActionParsnipspannerotoole: 4Gb file limit is in FAT32, it's nothing to do with 32bit-ness. 32bit will limit to 4Gb RAM, not filesize14:18
cramejswhen i use vim in gnome-terminal and press an arrowkey it converts it to A/B/C/D. how can i fix it ?14:19
ActionParsnipspannerotoole: NTFS maximum filesize is 16Eb14:19

RetroReactiveI didn't install mine using a disc...14:56
erUSULmynameisdeleted: many will say so.14:56
ActionParsnipRetroReactive: doesn't matter, its the same difference14:56
ActionParsnipmynameisdeleted: define "commercial"14:56
=== AbelMaio is now known as AMaio
mynameisdeletedwhat are the primary arguments for that?14:56
DaveIngrammynameisdeleted: I would say more "consumer" than "commercial"14:56
mynameisdeletedother than the comercial repository option  is ubuntu more comercial?14:57

mynameisdeletedand ubuntu doesnt list other ubuntu support companies equally14:58

dustinwhat about red hat?14:59
vampirekillerwho cares?15:00
mynameisdeletedI think what would work better is any redhat package contributor has a right of first serv on tech support for their packages15:00
vampirekillerI mean who cares.15:00

ubottuAlecTaylor:: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!15:11

NecrosporusWell, other question then. My netbook, has volume +/- hardware keys, separate from the main keyboard. If I touch it, ubuntu seem to react, but volume controls doesn't disappear when I release that and also X start to work incorretly, so I have to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and C-A-F8 then to get rid of that things.15:11
emeraldfoxI guess I will come back later :)15:11

BlouBlouengammalsko2: Why would you want it? Because I don't see the sense to block the mouse and a need to put a password to unlock it. Instead of it, set up the screen saver and password, which is enabled by default15:19
jpstrikesbackActionParsnip: yes, I agree, it seems like a bug/vulnerability, but it can't be too bad since a sudoer has admin rights anyways I just wondered if it needed reporting15:19

QuiSEthe TheEvilPhoenix y16:02
mordofZykoticK9: right. it is, i have 4 hard drives. i had windows on one before, and ubuntu on a larger one with split portions16:02
meganerdbarberan: then the next step depends on your wireless device, what type is it, and what is the interface name (eg.eth1, wlan0, etc.)16:02
mordofZykoticK9: so my ubuntu is on /dev/sdb16:02
ZykoticK9barberan, meganerd's command would overright (delete) whatever is in wpa.conf right now!  (not sure if that is ok or not)16:02

meganerdZykoticK9: it would actually create a wpa.conf file in his home directory, no such file actually exists16:03
ravanaerUSUL: thanks for the suggestion. I tried with it. but I get a warning saying something like: couldn't connect to system bus!16:03

ravanaerUSUL: what do you mean?16:04

K_DallasHi guys! My Q is abotu the beta2, 11.04 so if I am in the wrong channel I apologize.  Trying to install it under vmware (win7) but UNITY was disabled the first time I installed it and I am wondering if there is anyways to make it active? (it warned about hardware so does it mean that I should have a netbook necessarily or there is s.th. else I am missing) thanks16:06
fisixlol meganerd wats the barberan q?16:06
erUSULravana: ahh ok. not sure if xubuntu supports udisks or not...16:06
meganerdbarberan: then you should see some messages, it should be obvious if everything is ok or not.  If it is ok, switch to another console and do "sudo dhclient wlan0"16:06

ravanaerUSUL: sadly, ntfs!16:07
fisixmeganerd, ohhh lol. should be googleable >__>. this mac address duality on the other hand...16:08
ravanaonly issue is it get loaded as a read-only system. I can read the content.16:08
meganerdPeterNL: I have no idea what /etc/sysconfig/route-eth0 is, but the server version of ubuntu should use /etc/network/interfaces, the dekstop editions are managed by network manager16:08

MethedMancould someone tell me how do i sign in16:11
mordofZykoticK9: i've rebooted into the live CD, so this may be why - but sudo update-grub2 returns an error :\16:11
ZykoticK9mordof, after installing grub i think you need to actually have grub scan where there bootable options are, thus the "sudo update-grub2" is probably required16:11
mordofZykoticK9:  caanot find a device for /16:12
mordofZykoticK9: and yes the drive is mounted16:12
ZykoticK9mordof, you need to do the whole chroot thing for that to work.16:12
vaxinatedtry "touch /mnt/usb/testfile"16:12
ZykoticK9mordof, what is the error?16:12
mordofZykoticK9: "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)."16:12
erUSULravana: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb16:12
meganerdfisix: so to be clear, you get a different MAC address when you boot, but if unplug and plug in the ethernet, you get the mac address we found in the udev rules?16:12
ZykoticK9mordof, you need to chroot properly - see the link in !grub216:13
ZykoticK9!grub2 > mordof16:13
ubottumordof, please see my private message16:13
fisixmeganerd, correct. and continual unplugging/replugging will always give the latter mac address16:13
Picacodigoscan someone help me?16:14

ZykoticK9mordof, i doubt it would matter but the command should be "mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/work" you could probably leave the "-t ext4" off and it should still work, so probably not the issue.  Are you sure it's sdb2 that you want?  "sudo fdisk -l" should list your partitions and their types.16:24
mordofZykoticK9: says to specify the filesystem type and won't let me leave it off..16:25
mordofZykoticK9: ah, it's 516:25
ZykoticK9mordof, sounds like you're using the wrong device name, or it's not formatted.16:25
shadow74_thanks16:25
genii-aroundZykoticK9: This also happens if the partition type does not match the filesystem16:26

MethedMan@Pici i appreciate your response.  what exactly is a channel operator?17:10
Dr_WillisKindari:  use the full path to the commands in the script. cron is using a differnt PATH17:11
PiciMethedMan: A channel admin.17:11
hydesterDr_Willis: not sure.  ctrl+alt vs alt with those always seem to do the same thing in the console17:11

agsuFor some reason additional drivers doesent show a driver for wifi19:19
Strife892ThinkT510: Rebootin'.19:19
ThinkT510Apollonovich: i think its just a case of adding the backports repo to your list19:19
fizyplanktonagsu: try ndiswrapper19:19
agsuWhile trying it via livecd the driver showed up in three19:20
fizyplanktonagsu: i had to install ndiswrapper to get my wifi working. but it was a usb antenna. not a builting oine19:20
ApollonovichThinkT510: wouldn't that automatically make the system get me all available backports, instead of the 1 or 2 I want?19:20
fizyplanktonagsu: if i remember right, ndiswrapper is on the cd, but it doesnt install19:20
alexm1979Hi everybody. I was wondering if any of you heard about such an error: I am trying to install 10.10 from an USB card (optical not working).  It does not find the hard disk, a WD Raptor 74GB in good working order. Windows, or Ubuntu booted from the stick can see it, but not the installation ...:|   The install does see my other hard drive (win xp o it) wtih no problem but I don't want to use it.  Thanks....19:20
fizyplanktonjust google ndiswrapper19:21
tomekhi've just accidentaly removed /var/apt/cache/archives/partial dir, and now 'apt-get autoremove' doesn't works (i want to clean the system after kernel update). how can i fix this?19:21
agsuYes but i managed to install the driver when using live cd19:21
agsuSo it is in there somewhere19:21
fizyplanktonagsu: anything installed while running live is installed toRAM19:21
ThinkT510Apollonovich: i'm guessing it allows them to be installed via the package manager, not sure if it would automatically count them as updates of older packages though19:21
agsuI know...19:21
fizyplanktonmeaning that the second yyou reboot, it gets deleted19:22
erUSULtomekh: sudo mkdir /var/apt/cache/archives/partial19:22
agsuBut the driver is obviously on the cd19:22
fizyplanktonagsu: but ubuntu doesnt install ndiswrapper as part of a standard install19:22

wizonesolutionsDr_Willis: Yeah. Well Lubuntu seems lighter than Xubuntu, and Xubuntu was almost there and actually generally worked rather well. It's just that in the odd case where I have to hook up my physical monitor...it seems like Xubuntu starts to barf once the load gets high enough. So maybe Lubuntu will do the trick...even though it's not an LTS...as long as it's based off the same code as 10.04...it21:43

creature-hi22:05
sevithDr_Willis, Until now :) Did you look at that pastebin? Im not sure which buffer its relating to?22:05
DOokamican anyone tell me how can i run a java program that i made in ubuntu22:05
DOokamihow to run it and compile it ?22:05
KNUBBIGDOokami, Do you know how to compile and run in general?22:06
Dr_Willissevith:  i cant imagine either. i dont code in python.22:06
Dr_Willisjava --jar foo.jar  (or was it -jar)22:06
DOokamiKNUBBIG i did it in the past years but i totally forgot ,, i'm not sure if i have the right "java run time" files yet22:06
DOokamiso i kinda need the steps22:07
sevithDr_Willis, ulimit controls user processes? Im sending out DNS traffic but running out of buffer space in the middle of the script. I have 2gb of ram with 8 gb of swap im not sure which limitation its relating too :/22:07
KNUBBIGDr_Willis, -jar22:07
DOokamito refresh and do it22:07
Dr_Willisgotta love so many 'standards' to choose from with command line arguments. :)22:07
KNUBBIGDOokami, you need either sun-java6-jdk or openjdk (sorry, don't know the exact package name)22:07
KNUBBIG:D22:07

ubottuTo install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc -  For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.22:08
KNUBBIGthanks :)22:08
ThinkT510:)22:08
[Soma]!sopcast22:08
sevithDr_Willis, My ulimit (Just checked) Is unlimited. :O!22:08
KNUBBIGMan, I need a list of the ubottu commands! ;)22:08
DOokamiKNUBBIG, thanks, how about the other steps22:08
Dr_Willissevith:  could be some bug in the program22:08
s3r3n1t7sevith, that's the detault22:08
Dr_Willis!fish22:08
KNUBBIGDOokami, do you have one or more files?22:08

KNUBBIGI love you : D thanks!22:09
DOokamiKNUBBIG, i want to run a "grade.java" file that i have22:09
DOokamicompile, then run it22:09
KNUBBIGDOokami, java grade.java22:09
KNUBBIGDOokami, java grade22:09
KNUBBIGoh sorry22:09
westmiis minecraft in the repositories?22:09
KNUBBIGfirst is javac grade.java22:09
sevithDr_Willis, Hrrm. I think its a system bug ;) Cuz iv never had any problems throwing out thousands of packets before until now? Maybe when I recompiled the kernel i mucked something up but i could reboot to a dif. version and check to see if it works?22:09
sevithDamn thats a good idea ima be right back and see if it fixes anything22:09
DOokamijavac grade.java < compilation ?22:10
DOokamithen ,, ?22:10
bastidrazorwestmi: it is not.22:10
westmiok22:10
westmithanks22:10
KNUBBIGDOokami, javac grade.java just compiles it and creates a grade.class which you have to call with the java command (but without the .class ending)22:10
DOokamiKNUBBIG so it'll be "java grade" ?22:10
DOokamithe second line i mean22:11
KNUBBIGDOokami, yes22:11
DOokamiKNUBBIG, thaaaaaaanks a lot :D22:11
KNUBBIGDOokami, no problem22:11

ipwnagewho has ubuntu 11.04?22:14
cykrosspecifically when watching a full screen video? it wouldn't surprise me if you can only disable sleep or enable it no matter what, depending on your hardware...22:14
sysRPLhello ... can someone hello me setup a folder share on ubuntu using only the command line. i'm connected to this ubuntu install using putty on windows22:14

Aaron_WayneDr_Willis, well, it happens with any videos, youtube, any online videos, and the media player i use is vlc22:16
sevithok22:16
sevithIts the kernel issue now22:16
sevith...22:16
sysRPLcykros: that's an 8000 line document22:17
sevithOr maybe its because the kernel its optimized on this version because it was taking an easy 2 seconds to push 100+ packets but on the other version i was going over 100/second and run out of buffer space no later than 1300 packets22:17
sevithrebooted to22:17
sevith2.6.3522:17
sevithgot to 2000 and no problems22:17
sevith-.-22:17
FloodBot1sevith: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.22:17
zetohi just installed ubuntu 11.04 beta 2, to get the final version, i just update it  when it is released, right?22:17
sevithYeah, Enter as punctuation my bad :(22:17
Dr_WillisAaron_Wayne:  I DO belive vlc has some setting for disabling the screensaver. but i never notice the problem here. I tend to use vlc, or smplayer  a lot.. lately however ive been using xbmc22:18
Dr_Williszetoh:  thats how the package manager system works. Yes. :)22:18
cykrossysRPL: idk offhand how to do it, so i figured i'd direct you to the manual for the command that will do it.22:18
cykrossorry that it's long, and hopefully someone else may be able to walk you through it...22:19
Aaron_WayneDr_Willis, that actually leads me to another question if you dont mind, if i could play everything through vlc that would be great, why dont some streams work? do i have to do something with the codecs?22:19
sysRPLhow do you exit man ?22:19
cykroshit 'q'22:19
Dr_WillisAaron_Wayne:  Depeneds on how the stream is streming i guess. I rarely watch video streams22:19
Dr_WillisAaron_Wayne:  ive seen very few things that vlc cant play. other then DRm protected stuff.22:19
spid3rnethow no pWnOS22:20
spid3rnethow now pWnOS22:20
spid3rnet**22:20
cykrosactually, now that i think about it, there may be a command along the lines of "smbmount" that may be better than smbclient for what you need anyway22:20
cykrosits been a few years since i did any samba shares though22:20
jx-tI have vlc playing everything... works great22:20
cykrosi think these days i'd probably just use ftp22:20
Aaron_WayneDr_Willis, yeah, like some youtube videos work for me and a lot of others dont, other sites i can understand, like u were saying with drm, but i run into a lot of of youtube that i wouldnt think would have an issue but they dont play22:21
cykroshaven't found a reason why samba would be worth the headache setting up over ftp22:21
sysRPLi show samba-common and smaba-common-bin installled ... does this mean smaba is installed?22:21
cykrosother than, obviously, a preexisting network using samba all over the place22:21
Dr_WillisI cant see why one would use FTP in this dy and age.22:21
cykrosDr_Willis: because it beats zmodem :-P22:21
Dr_WillisI recall a amuseing site on 'ftp must die'22:21
Dr_Willisgave some neat history on ftp.22:21
KNUBBIGsysRPL, yes22:21
sevithDr_Willis, Did you get that?22:22
cykrosthough zmodem is still used, mostly on BBS systems22:22
sysRPLDr_Willis: how else would you reccomend shared hosting companies allow people to upload their web sites?22:22
YankDownUnderOy...ZModem protocol was really really great "back in the day" and I beta-tested it heaps of times on my BBS....22:22
Dr_WillissysRPL:  scp22:22
excelsiorsome kind of class?22:22
sevithDr_Willis, The issues doesnt exist in kernel 2.6.35-28 for me. Or at least I cant reproduce it with the same script.22:22
sysRPLDr_Willis: that would require people to donload an scp capable client22:22
cykrosYankDownUnder: do you still run a BBS?22:22
Dr_WillissysRPL:  given the security  issues with ftp.. its scary its still in use.  thats the 'core' of most arguments against it.22:22
Dr_WillissysRPL:  so what..22:22
cykrosI mostly connect to entropybbs.co.nz these days22:23
cykrosjust moved away from vertrauen recently22:23
Senixhow do i change the default browser in ubuntu?22:23
cykrosthough, i managed to screw things up with BRE, so i can't play that there until (unless?) the door gets reset.22:23

cykros@ senix22:24
Senixcykros: and wheres that22:24
Aaron_WayneDr_Willis, i get something like this every time something doesnt work22:24
Aaron_WayneDr_Willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/594644/22:24
cykrosthat would depend on your user interface22:24
cykrosbut it'd be somewhere in a system menu of some kind22:24
YankDownUndercykros, Actually - been thinking about setting one up again - JUST LIKE the old days...22:24
cykrosif its gnome, i think system -> <something> -> preferred applications22:24

InfameIs it normal to have 2 ubuntus at GNU grub? One being Linux 2.6.35.28, and the other being 2.6.35.22....22:28
edbianInfame, It's normal.22:28
edbianInfame, They're different kernels.22:28
cykrosInfame: did you upgrade your kernel at any point? because that would do it.22:28
bazhangcykros, lets get back on topic please22:28
Dr_Williscykros:  I proberly have about 10 kernels :)22:28
sevithInfame, Yes. They are just different kernel versions.22:28
InfameYeah... I upadted a few things...22:28
InfameDo I delete one?... somehow?22:28
sevithInfame, I have around 8 entries on my grub menu.lst all different. So dont worry22:28
sevithInfame, Thats more of a how to edit grub question but in essence /boot/grub/menu.lst22:29
Dr_Williseach kernel takes up what? about 200mb on the system? i never really looked into it22:29
sevithNot quiet sure22:29
InfameOh, so it doesn't explictly take too much space?22:29
edbianInfame, go to System -> admin -> synaptic.  Search the number of the one you want to remove.  Remove the package that shows up.  DON'T delete all the kernels22:29
Dr_WillisTheres the kernel, then the related modules..22:29
MaRk-IInfame: if you remove the older kernel through synaptic it'll take care of the grub for you... I'll leave it just in case i have problems with the newer kernel22:30
sevithInfame, What edbian said. I really would leave it there. If you muck the menu file up you wont be able to boot your system.22:30
sevithInfame, Depending on your expertise you could fix it. Or if you mess it up youll have to reinstall22:30
Infameah, logic, Mark :p22:30
InfameLOL22:30
sevithInfame, No id guess at the most a kernel is 5MB max? maybe?..22:30
InfameI just got Linux today. First time ever.22:30
MaRk-Iwelcome to the dark side22:31
sysRPLwtf ... what is samba4?22:31
InfameAh, then I don't mind too much :p22:31
sevithhrrm 4th version of samba im guessing? :P22:31

Dr_WillissysRPL:  use the service command. and the service is not called samba. its like 'smbd' i think (tab completion will help)22:31
InfameI'm liking Ubunto so far. Fast and neat. Too bad I'll have to find something else than VS ;p22:31

speedyInfame: u can delete the ones u do not want as well as cleaning packages with this software use Ubuntu Tweak or Ailurus but keep the one u boot to and a back up previous kernel if ur booting to 2.6.35.28 and 2.6.35.27 keep those and remove the rest i have done it and it works as well as using both has some advantages over the other use both softwares as i mentioned makes it a very easy task22:35

Aaron_WayneKNUBBIG, how can i run live cd then? or just boot live with maverick and install?22:40
Dr_Willisspeedy:  ive seen guides/tools for converting a wubi install to a normal install.22:41
sevithInfame, sudo apt-get install gparted and then run sudo gparted and then format the partition apply the changed get to the terminal mount the partition to the area you would like and its like extra space..22:41
KNUBBIGAaron_Wayne, you could download a beta CD and run it22:41
Dr_Williss3r3n1t7:  yea. Lubuntu is handy.22:41
InfameSevith, I'm currently running GParted on LiveCD... Any difference?22:41
sevithInfame, Or you could fdisk it...But..You said ur a noob so that might be a bit over your head?22:41
