[00:00] <minion35> plut0: thats the full size
[00:00] <minion35> KXTwo: whats the logic problem?
[00:00] <plut0> minion35: i haven't even partitioned it yet
[00:00] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: if it isn't too advanced I can give it a shot
[00:00] <KXTwo> its FAIRLY simple cybrhuman I should knwo how to do it but im drawing a blank
[00:01] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: then I will try :)
[00:01] <ephedrandrox> So who's put ubuntu on their HTC? Direction?
[00:01] <KXTwo> I have an 9 element array that keeps the score of 9 holes of golf
[00:01] <minion35> plut0: I know but its the same with every drive.
[00:01] <KXTwo> I just need to know how to add the scores together
[00:01] <KXTwo> for loop is my instinct
[00:01] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: yup
[00:01] <KXTwo> for x 0 to 8
[00:02] <stanman246> ephedrandrox, xda fora?
[00:02] <plut0> minion35: http://pastebin.com/M627WD5x
[00:02] <cybrhuman> from i =0 to i < 9 I would say
[00:02] <ephedrandrox> Well I got it rooted off thief
[00:02] <KXTwo> thats about as far as I got lol
[00:02] <ephedrandrox> Their
[00:02] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: which language?
[00:03] <KXTwo> next line maybe: totalScore = scoreArray[x] + scoreArray[x+1}
[00:03] <KXTwo> then x = 2  maybe
[00:03] <KXTwo> its just logic
[00:03] <KXTwo> no lagunage
[00:04] <KXTwo> no that wont work
[00:04] <KXTwo> because total score will continue to be overwritten
[00:04] <KXTwo> oh I got it
[00:04] <cybrhuman> +=
[00:04] <KXTwo> totalScore = scoreArrray[x]
[00:04] <brightspark> KXTwo: totalscore = totalscore + scorearray[x]
[00:05] <KXTwo> yep thats where I was thinking
[00:05] <cybrhuman> total+=golf[x]
[00:05] <KXTwo> before the foreloop
[00:05] <cybrhuman> total = 0
[00:05] <KXTwo> or in declaratons declare totalscore = 0
[00:05] <KXTwo> then for x 0 to 9
[00:05] <KXTwo> totalscore = totalscore = scorearray[x]
[00:06] <KXTwo> brightspark, thank you
[00:06] <sirgad> Hi. I'm trying to set up a VPN server on Ubuntu. What's it called when you have a gateway that you connect to from public wifi to secure your data before sending to the general web?  Is that a VPN Gateway?
[00:06] <KXTwo> too bad there wasnt a programming logic channel lol
[00:06] <cybrhuman> declare it and initialize it to zero and add it up like that, assuming the second = should be + :)
[00:06] <brightspark> KXTwo: no prob
[00:06] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: np :)
[00:07] <KXTwo> thanks to everyone sorry
[00:07] <KXTwo> hey when im finished would anyone mind reading my finished product and tell me what you think?
[00:08] <multipass> hey, anyone have recomendation on music players other than rythembox?
[00:08] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: if I am awake :) (I won't answer if I am not)
[00:08] <aeon-ltd> multipass: mpd if you don't mind configuring, then with sonata as a gui frontend or ncmpcpp if you like cli
[00:08] <Nisstyre> yeah, ncmpcpp is the best
[00:09] <Nisstyre> mpc is good too for quick access to mpd
[00:09] <KXTwo> cybrhuman, im almost done
[00:09] <KXTwo> its just an edit I wanted to try myself for an old project
[00:09] <cybrhuman> multipass: Amarok is usable again :) if you don't mind the qt loading
[00:09] <multipass> does it require a crazy ammount of dependencies if im using ubuntu?
[00:10] <aeon-ltd> multipass: nope, iirc
[00:10] <cybrhuman> multipass: amarok, kde-stuff at least
[00:10] <psychoticdad> why doesn't tcpdump run as nobody ;( it just runs as root!
[00:10] <psychoticdad> you have to specify it with the -Z on 10.10
[00:11] <multipass> my rythembox is using 350mb of ram which seems alot for a music player
[00:11] <psychoticdad> red hat was clever here and made a tcpdump user just for the purpose
[00:12] <cybrhuman> multipass: amarok requires a huge load of deps... about 255 MB to get it in on my system ...
[00:13] <multipass> cybrhuman, 17.5MB to download, 59.1MB when installed
[00:13] <multipass> maybe i have some of the kde stuff actually
[00:13] <cybrhuman> multipass: you got KDE already?
[00:13] <multipass> well i did try out Kate editor
[00:13] <multipass> which is KDE
[00:13] <cybrhuman> oh, yes
[00:13] <sje46> hey, how do you downlload just the package with apt-get, without installing it  I tried the -d option, but it said that was an invalid option
[00:14] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb
[00:14] <multipass> I also tried foobnix and deadbeef, they were decent..
[00:14] <Nisstyre> multipass, mpd has ~16 dependencies
[00:14] <cybrhuman> plut0: try calculating between KiB and KB and you'll see that that might be all the disk you have
[00:15] <Nisstyre> including sqlite and avahi
[00:15] <plut0> cybrhuman: disk size should say 3000gb not 2199gb
[00:15] <plut0> cybrhuman: i haven't partitioned it yet
[00:15] <Nisstyre> ANY program using 350 mbs of memory is ridiculous
[00:15] <Nisstyre> unless it's some kind of science program
[00:16] <Nisstyre> or media editing
[00:16] <minion35> Nisstyre: well thats media players in linux :(
[00:16] <Nisstyre> minion35, nope
[00:16] <Nisstyre> use mpd + ncmpcpp
[00:16] <itilious> if i'm using tightvncserver how can i know which port its running thru?
[00:16] <itilious> so that i can tunnel the port in putty
[00:16] <multipass> im trying ncmcpp atm
[00:16] <multipass> whats mpd?
[00:16] <Nisstyre> multipass, ncmpcpp is useless without mpd
[00:17] <Nisstyre> ncmpcpp is just a client to mpd (Music Player Daemon)
[00:17] <multipass> o ok
[00:17] <Nisstyre> it works like a server/client architecture. Similar to Xorg.
[00:17] <Nisstyre> so you can control your music remotely, and from multiple clients
[00:17] <multipass> no ubuntu package for MPD?
[00:18] <Nisstyre> there should be one
[00:18] <demonspork> background music for everyone's tech support: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtPk5IUbdH0
[00:18] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb
[00:21] <cybrhuman> plut0: how much do you expect to see? you do know that HDD manufacturers use KB=1000 bytes and most others count KB = 1024 bytes?
[00:22] <ZykoticK9> cybrhuman, you still wouldn't expect close to 1/3 of the drive to be missing...
[00:22] <plut0> cybrhuman: i think you're thinking of formatted size, the disk size should still state 3000tb
[00:22] <plut0> er 3000gb
[00:22] <CannotTakeOwners> Hello
[00:23] <bonny> #lubuntu
[00:23] <CannotTakeOwners> Hello?  I can't see any chat
[00:23] <Torne> i'm booting ubuntu with a non-ubuntu kernel and i get a SEGV for plymouth on every boot. Boot seems to have succeeded though. ANy idea what's happening?
[00:23] <CannotTakeOwners> Nvm.
[00:24] <ohsix> Torne: drm/kms support in that kernel?
[00:24] <multipass> ncmpc++ have a high learning curve?
[00:24] <Torne> ohsix: not sure
[00:24] <CannotTakeOwners> I can't take ownership of a root owned file; even though chown -v tells me I have
[00:24] <Torne> ohsix: it should only be the text plymouth though i think.. i have a base install only
[00:24] <Torne> ohsix: only ubuntu-standard
[00:25] <CannotTakeOwners> Can anyone help me with taking ownership of a directory?
[00:25] <Torne> ohsix: it does have drm, going by dmesg
[00:26] <ohsix> Torne: dunno brah, that was my short checklist of kernel things with plymouth
[00:26] <Torne> ohsix: it doesn't have initrd/initramfs, though, which may be relevant to plymouth
[00:26] <minion35> CannotTakeOwners: whats the problem?
[00:26] <Torne> I am booting directly to the ubuntu rootfs
[00:26] <ohsix> Torne: relevant to a lot of things agh
[00:26] <ohsix> create one
[00:26] <Torne> ohsix: kernel doesn't support it
[00:26] <ohsix> update-initramfs -k <your kernel> -c
[00:26] <ohsix> well fix that
[00:27] <Torne> this is a cr48 with the stock EFI bios
[00:27] <Torne> there's no way to load an initrd/initramfs image
[00:27] <Torne> because, yaknow, no real bootloader.
[00:27] <delkin> I have sony vaio vpcf1. I installed ubuntu 10.10. My micro is not working when i speak in skype. Can someone help, please ?
[00:27] <Torne> i could build a kernel with initramfs embedded but that's a lot of effort given that it seems to work as it is, despite the weird crash
[00:27] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb
[00:27] <minion35> delkin: what microphone is it?
[00:27] <ohsix> if you can load a linux image you can load a grub image
[00:28] <Torne> ohsix: Not true
[00:28] <delkin> minion35, i dont know
[00:28] <CannotTakeOwners> There seems to be more questiosn than answers on here... Can anyone help me take ownership of a directory, I have a very odd bug
[00:28] <ohsix> CannotTakeOwners: what bug?
[00:28] <Torne> ohsix: the boot stub only has a partial implementation of EFI, it doesn't pass the required hardware descriptoins to make egrub work
[00:28] <delkin> minion35, how can i know?
[00:28] <Torne> ohsix: or to boot an unpatched linux kernel.
[00:28] <CannotTakeOwners> ohsix, I go chown excels -v /media/filename
[00:28] <Torne> ohsix: it can only boot chromeos's patched kernel ;)
[00:29] <trihope> Noob question: I'm downloading the Ubuntu-restricted-extras, it popped up a End-User License Agreement, and there is an "<Ok>" at the bottom but I can't figure out how to continue with the installation. Help?
[00:29] <CannotTakeOwners> then I go ls -ld
[00:29] <CannotTakeOwners> And it says its owned by root
[00:29] <ohsix> CannotTakeOwners: is /filename ntfs?
[00:29] <CannotTakeOwners> ohsix, its on virtualbox
[00:29] <ohsix> trihope: hit tab
[00:29] <minion35> delkin: 10.10 apparently works with the mic
[00:29] <trihope> ohsix: thanks
[00:29] <ohsix> CannotTakeOwners: nonnative filesystems don't often support posix permissions
[00:29] <CannotTakeOwners> So... I don't know if its NTFS
[00:30] <ohsix> trihope: depemding on your terminal emulator you can also click with the mouse :]
[00:30] <CannotTakeOwners> um... so what am I supposed to do, ohsix
[00:30] <codex84> how u change your nick
[00:30] <codex84> ?
[00:31] <rcconf> hi
[00:31] <CannotTakeOwners> codex, use /nick newnick
[00:31] <brightspark> delkin: check whether input devices are muted
[00:31] <codex84> oh register a new nick
[00:31] <rcconf> I sshed into the server added my user to sudoer then did a reboot... but it didnt restart
[00:31] <rcconf> maybe that user doesnt have permission to reboot?
[00:31] <rcconf> or should i add nopasswd option?
[00:31] <rcconf> 1m left of connection :P
[00:32] <delkin> brightspark, in Soud Prefferences the check box for mute is not checked. But when I speak to the micro i cant see the bars moving.
[00:32] <rcconf> almost diconnected
[00:32] <rcconf> :(
[00:33] <delkin> brightspark, "bars" i mean 'Input Level'
[00:33] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb
[00:33] <brightspark> delkin: check if another mic in the dropdown works
[00:33] <ohsix> plut0: you need to use another partitioning scheme than mbr
[00:34] <ohsix> plut0: thats the limit with mbr
[00:34] <brightspark> it did for me
[00:34] <brightspark> delkin: ^
[00:34] <plut0> ohsix: none of the partition tools recognize the disk as 3000gb, they state 2199gb instead
[00:34] <plut0> ohsix: before anything is even partitioned
[00:34] <CannotTakeOwners> ohsix:  So my virtualbox shared folder is permanently under root control?
[00:37] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb. http://pastebin.com/M627WD5x
[00:37] <delkin> brightspark, from "Choose a device for sound input:"  i have only : "internal audio analog stereo"
[00:38] <delkin> brightspark, i also checked alsamixer, and every single bar is at max level
[00:38] <Guest4718> hello can anyone help me i need to get nvidia working on my laptop
[00:38] <brightspark> delkin: try in alsamixer then (run from terminal)
[00:38] <themoebius> what can I do if a process just won't die even with kill -9?
[00:39] <ohsix> themoebius: leave it, it's dead already, but you might want to figure out why
[00:40] <minion35> right im off. bye all.
[00:40] <ohsix> themoebius: that usually happens when somethiing is stuck in a syscall; which is bad news
[00:40] <delkin> brightspark, nothing seems to be working
[00:40] <delkin> :(
[00:40] <CannotTakeOwners> ohsix:  I think something is broken with my OS, it just told me I'm very rich
[00:40] <CannotTakeOwners> Because my hd is 128 tb
[00:40] <themoebius> ohsix: I'm trying to unmount a file system because I suspect it has problems. But I can't unmount it because some phantom processes have open files for the past week
[00:41] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[00:41] <CannotTakeOwners> Perhaps its because  of virtualbox's dynamically expanding storage thingy
[00:41] <themoebius> ohsix: you're probably right about it being stuck in syscall. What can I do without restarting?
[00:41] <ShapeShifter499> CannotTakeOwners, can I have one tb or that? lolz
[00:41] <ShapeShifter499> *of that
[00:42] <ohsix> themoebius: umount with -f, or remount ro
[00:42] <ohsix> hope for the best
[00:42] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb. http://pastebin.com/M627WD5x
[00:42] <brightspark> delkin: sorry, out of ideas and need to go.  back later; if you're on i'll see you then
[00:42] <CannotTakeOwners> oh wonderful.  I dragged my window into the taskbar.  How do I get it out?
[00:43] <themoebius> ohsix: umount -f still says Device is busy :(
[00:43] <CannotTakeOwners> nvm, fixed it
[00:44] <steiner> what is the reason for my usb keyboard and mouse to randomly stop working, and then work when i plug them in again?
[00:44] <CannotTakeOwners> Ohsix, are you the only person helping here?  Sure seems like it :s
[00:44] <sirgad> Can someone tell me what would be required to set up a server that receives data over a secure tunnel (VPN) from devices attached through Public Wifi, and channels internet data on their behalf?
[00:45] <ohsix> i'm currently  not busy, that's about it
[00:45] <ohsix> sirgad: just installing the vpn server
[00:45] <cryptopsy> how can i sync an ftp server with a local directory?
[00:46] <BajK> hm, how can I make recordmydesktop record the sound, for example when playing a game and such? and also capture sound from my usb headset?
[00:46] <sirgad> @ohsix: no offence, but are you sure? I set up a vpn server on my Mac for this purpose, and it only allowed access to the remote network, not the www.
[00:46] <sirgad> There must be something else.
[00:47] <delkin> 2nd question: I have sony vaio vpcf1. I installed ubuntu 10.10. How do I change the brightness? How do i bind it to keys?
[00:48] <Maro__> Could anyone tell me where the Network Manager config files are? I'd like to copy some settings from one PC to another rather than have to re-enter them manually, but can't find anywhere referencing the network connection file location(s)...
[00:49]  * izinucs thinks irssi has got to have one of the worst man pages in existance.. 
[00:50] <onoez_omg> how it comes out that blacklisted nouveau module loads after reboot anyway?
[00:50]  * rww has deja-vu
[00:51] <histo> izinucs: why?
[00:51] <dasbootcapitan> Hi
[00:51] <histo> izinucs: there is /help in irssi
[00:52] <dasbootcapitan> How can i get the install itunes to ubuntu
[00:52] <ctmjr> !itunes | dasbootcapitan
[00:53] <izinucs> histo: /help has lots of commands.. I was just trying to figure out how to save a configuration with nick/password and open channels so the next time I start it up I don't have to manually enter anything.
[01:00] <histo> izinucs: you add channels so they autojoin. Try /help channel
[01:00] <histo> izinucs: i've got mine set to identify with nickserv and join the channels I frequent.
[01:01] <tripelb> izinucs, i'll help but I just came in and if I can help with your client. -- I'm like histo
[01:02] <histo> izinucs: trying to remember where I added nick password in irssi
[01:02] <tripelb> izinucs, What program are you using to connect to irc???
[01:02] <tripelb> what is your client means the same thing izinucs
[01:02] <histo> tripelb: he's using irssi
[01:02]  * tripelb bows out, grinning.
[01:03] <jiool> I notice that on all linux distros the caps lock response is too slow. I dont have this problem on windows.... is there anything that can be done about this?
[01:04] <izinucs> tripelb: irssi
[01:04] <sirgad> Hey. Can someone tell me what would be required to set up a server that receives data over a secure tunnel (VPN) from devices attached through Public Wifi, and channels internet data on their behalf?
[01:04] <nmaxchat> Question after switching from Windows to Linux. I understand Linux is safer. Do I or do I not need an anti virus ? A firewall ? Does one scan for viruses ever ?
[01:04] <nerdy_kid> any way to disable the underlined letters in Skypes menu?  (when you right click the tray icon)
[01:05] <arand> nmaxchat: In practice, linux is as safe, or safer, without a AV; than windows is with one. You may want to use one if you share files with unprotected windows machines though.
[01:05] <izinucs> nmaxchat: nope.. not really unless you need to make changes.. yes to help keep our friendly window users safe.. but I don't :)
[01:07] <arand> *desktop linux, rather, I guess
[01:07] <nmaxchat> arand, izinucs So when a bank says all their thing about having a firewall and an AV, what do I answer ?
[01:07] <dj> hello
[01:08] <nmaxchat> dj, hi
[01:08] <sirgad> mmaxchat: many banks will NOT cover you for internet fraud if you use internet banking but don't meet their security requirements, eg. supported browser and platform. Confirm with each bank before considering yourself covered.
[01:08] <Guest86512> i have install ubunto via virtualbox and i wont to use my wirless card as a wirless card onm ubunto
[01:08] <Guest86512> it is possible?
[01:09] <sirgad> mmaxchat: many do not cover linux users AT ALL, so dont be surprised.
[01:09] <Polah> Guest86512: Possibly. Knowing what card it is would help.
[01:09] <nmaxchat> sirgad, good advice thanks
[01:09] <Guest86512> intell 5100
[01:09] <arand> nmaxchat: Whereas again, some banks advice you to run a linux distro liveCD to make sure your banking safely.
[01:09] <Guest86512> on lap top
[01:09] <d_ed> Guest86512: if ubuntu is in virtualbox it doesn't need to know about the network card at all. Virtualbox will bridge it for you to a fake network card
[01:10] <d_ed> so ubuntu will think it's connected via a wired connection to the host computer
[01:10] <sirgad> @arand: not the ones I banked with, unfortunately. :/
[01:10] <Polah> Guest86512, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17045&lang=eng perhaps
[01:10] <nmaxchat> arand, " run a linux distro liveCD to make sure your banking safely" meaning ?
[01:10] <KM0201> now which version of xchat are you using?
[01:10] <zeroedout> I'm adding an hp printer and it gives me two options under model- hpijs and hpcups. Does anyone know the difference between hpijs and hpcups?
[01:10] <Polah> nmaxchat: Boot temporarily from a clean LiveCD/USB to do your banking.
[01:11] <nmaxchat> Polah, I guess I''l just ask my bank ehat they want so I am covered
[01:11] <arand> nmaxchat: Doing banking from a liveCD ensures that you always have a clean environment to start out with, regardless of what may be on your harddisk.
[01:11] <Guest86512> ok i will try to download the fw
[01:11] <nmaxchat> arand, Thanks
[01:11] <constl> I've been receiving "dpkg: error processing language-selector-comm" with every install from Ubuntu Software Center. Any hints?
[01:12] <sirgad> @nmaxchat: trying looking at UCK to modify your LiveCD and tailor it more to your needs.
[01:12] <nmaxchat> sirgad, will do Merci beaucoup
[01:13] <sirgad> lol de rien
[01:13] <gartral> hmm
[01:14] <sirgad> anyone recommend a Windows Server IRC channel?
[01:14] <sirgad> finding nothing in Google
[01:14] <chipmenk> i want to change the directory the pan newsreader uses for files it creates     how?
[01:14] <izinucs> sirgad: they've all migrated to linux
[01:14] <sirgad> lol
[01:14] <sirgad> but seriously
[01:14] <gartral_> sirgad: I say: when in Rome...
[01:15] <izinucs> sirgad: you could ask in ##windows
[01:15] <sirgad> will do, ta :)
[01:16] <Diamondcite> That will probably point you to ##windows-server
[01:16] <ndugan> I want to put in a simple keyboard macro... I notice that xbindkeys seems to do this (but isn't installed) is there a standard way to do this (i.e. some else that is installed)
[01:16] <sirgad> i asked in windows-sever, bit elitist and didn't like me using 2000/2003. gave me short shrift :/
[01:16] <Diamondcite> It's.. 7 years old..
[01:16] <sirgad> yeah but i can geta free license legit
[01:17] <izinucs> but still being used a lot
[01:17] <Diamondcite> That's like asking for help with Ubuntu.. before it had names...
[01:17] <izinucs> sirgad: are you learning it or using it for work or...?
[01:18] <Snappleseed> Hello everyone, here on my win 7 computer while I try to get my wireless adapter to work on my newly installed ubuntu. Apparently I'm using a broadcom chip, BCM4318 with a PCI-ID 14e4:4319, and I've got the b43-fwcutter tool for use on extraction of driver codes from windows XP drivers. But I don't know where to go from here, how to use it on the drivers, or where to find them for my chip.
[01:18] <sirgad> i'm just trying to set up a home server to as a secure proxy.
[01:18] <cryptopsy> why does ubuntu suck ?
[01:18] <Diamondcite> sirgad: It's off topic to your decision.. but this channel would probably gladly teach you how to do that in Linux ^_^
[01:18] <izinucs> sirgad: use linux
[01:18] <godzirra> Khisanth: So I was wrong... SSH didn't suddenly start working yesterday..  I can now ssh into my router when I connect to my domain name. :/
[01:19] <izinucs> !proxy | sirgad
[01:19] <Snappleseed> I have tried to follow the instructions on this page, and even read the FAQ, but it is too advanced for me mostly.

[01:19] <Snappleseed> http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#FAQ_-_Frequently_asked_questions
[01:19] <godzirra> When I turned off SSH management on the router, it suddenly stopped letting me connect.
[01:19] <sirgad> @ Snappleseed: it's actually to act as a sevrer to secure connections to the web from public wifi
[01:19] <Diamondcite> cryptopsy: To answer your question.. they suck because.. ... ... They are straying too far ahead of certain standards which makes them a little harder to work with for certain older apps?
[01:20] <ohsix> mmhmh
[01:20] <Snappleseed> sirgad: so how would i get my wireless adapter that's built into the laptop to work on ubuntu
[01:20] <Diamondcite> sirgad: I think I do that quite often.. I just use an SSH tunnel ^_^
[01:21] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Please be more specific like what is your built in wifi?
[01:21] <austin> hey guys, i've been using ubuntu for about a week now after reinstalling, and I just can't get the game Global Agenda to run... would anyone be able to help me out?
[01:21] <Snappleseed> it's called a  Dell WLAN 1370 Mini-PCI, for a Dell Inspiron 1300.
[01:21] <godzirra> Khisanth: huh.  Nevermind.
[01:21] <alpha> I can connect to a remote computer using ssh. I would like to enable a remote desktop environment, how do I do that? Currently, when connecting using "remote desktop viewer", I only see a shell, no GUI
[01:21] <sirgad> sorry snapple, i replied to the wrong person :)
[01:22] <izinucs> Snappleseed: in terminal type .. sudo lspci .. and the output will typically have info on your wireless card.. it won't say dell however
[01:22] <sirgad> @Diamondcite: SSH tunnels can't be used in this fashio from an iPhone, though.
[01:23] <Diamondcite> sirgad: I see that can be an issue.. I have a netbook + 3G usb stick, no iphone =P
[01:24] <Snappleseed> izinucs: I it says for Nework Controller: Broadcom Corp. BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[01:24] <KM0201> trihope: test
[01:24] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Do you see anywhere on the top that says additional drivers? It should be offering to 'Activate' a broadcom-sta driver...
[01:25] <GeO`> hey guys
[01:25] <sirgad> All I'm trying to do is: iPhone > Public WiFi > VPN > Home server > Interwebz.  How do I do that?
[01:25] <GeO`> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[01:25] <GeO`> none                  7.9G  7.4G  473M  95% /dev
[01:25] <Snappleseed> No Diamondcite, I don't see anything like that.
[01:25] <GeO`> tho I can't find anything big in /dev, what's the matter ?
[01:25] <izinucs> Snappleseed: follow Diamondcite advice.. he's more conversant in wireless then me
[01:25] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Have a look at System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers ??
[01:26] <MaRk-I> Snappleseed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing b43 drivers
[01:26] <Diamondcite> izinucs: Unfortunately I don't have a dell, this is just leftover knowledge =P
[01:27] <Snappleseed> Download package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available. then the window says No Proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[01:27] <izinucs> Diamondcite: he listed the card to me in a line above.. it's not made by dell.  BCM4318
[01:27] <GeO`> someone can help me please ?
[01:27] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Can you temporarily hook up to a wired connection?
[01:28] <Snappleseed> I can't, actually. I only have wireless taken from the library next door.
[01:28] <Diamondcite> izinucs: I only have Ath5k and Ath9k chips..
[01:28] <Snappleseed> I've been out of money for a fair bit now.
[01:28] <plut0> i fixed my 3tb drive issue, i needed a firmware update
[01:28] <ohsix> plut0: for the controller?
[01:28] <Diamondcite> Hrm...
[01:28] <izinucs> Diamondcite: and I'm brain dead when it comes to wireless that "just doesn't work"..
[01:28] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: So how are you ONLINE right now?
[01:29] <plut0> ohsix: actually it was a usb enclosure
[01:29] <ohsix> ah, nice
[01:29] <j_dulaney> Alright, I've got 10.10, using Fluxbox, and I keep having to unlock the keyring
[01:29] <Snappleseed> So how, other than hooking up to the internet, can I obtain the relevant firmware? Diamondcite: I'm online on my Windows 7 HP, on a seperate computer.
[01:29] <plut0> lucky me :)
[01:29] <ohsix> Snappleseed: get the debs you think you'll need then venture over to the dark side
[01:29] <Snappleseed> debs?
[01:30] <Diamondcite> Is the laptop in question and the connected one too different systems? Consider using a crossover network cable to share the connection?
[01:30] <Snappleseed> what dark side?
[01:30] <j_dulaney> It is most annoying when I click on the auto-remember on login option and it is ignored
[01:30] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Okay I need more info.. 64 or 32bit for the ubuntu? Also which version?
[01:30] <Snappleseed> I'm not sure exactly how that would work, i've never done it before. An ethernet cable will do?
[01:30] <izinucs> Snappleseed: packages.ubuntu.com have all the programs in the repos.. you just need to know what package(s) you need, download to a usb stick and move it to the ubuntu computer
[01:30] <Snappleseed> 32bit ubuntu, 10.10 i think?
[01:31] <Snappleseed> I'm not sure how to figure out what package I would need.
[01:31] <MaRk-I> Snappleseed: the broadcom help page tells you how to install with no internet access
[01:31] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Download this package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/broadcom-sta-common
[01:32] <j_dulaney> I guess no one is going to help me
[01:32] <j_dulaney> Fail
[01:32] <kuromaru> cok
[01:32] <kuromaru> blender.org :/
[01:33] <Diamondcite> j_dulaney: Annoying is a less important problem at the moment.. and the type of login isn't specified.
[01:33] <maco> j_dulaney: do your keyring password and login password match? and are you logging in by *actually typing your password* or autologin?
[01:33] <Guest18105> hi evry1!
[01:33] <Guest18105> i have question about 10.04 server. What kind of web GUI do you prefer? (now i use ispconfig for web server ) but i think it's too simple.
[01:33] <kuromaru> test
[01:33] <j_dulaney> maco:  Yes, and type in my password
[01:34] <kuromaru> hello world :O
[01:34] <maco> kuromaru: could you please skip to the part where you ask a tech support question?
[01:34] <izinucs> Guest18105: "web gui" and server ... hummm.. most linux servers don't have a gui.. and which type of server? web, print, ftp etc??
[01:34] <MaRk-I> Guest18105: might try #ubuntu-server
[01:35] <Guest18105> MaRK-i: thx i'll try
[01:35] <MaRk-I> Guest18105: yw
[01:35] <j_dulaney> maco:  What is the name of the keyring software, and where does it keep its options file?
[01:36] <maco> j_dulaney: seahorse
[01:36] <StuckMojo> hi. i've got a problem updating/installing language-selector-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[01:36] <StuckMojo> where can i see the output of that script?
[01:36] <Snappleseed> Diamondcite: that website doesn't follow what I usually do to download files. How exactly would I download that using windows?
[01:36] <maco> j_dulaney: i dont know where its config is. i'd guess gconf
[01:36] <StuckMojo> i.e. how can i debug the issue?
[01:36] <j_dulaney> maco:  Righteo, thanks
[01:36] <izinucs> Snappleseed: right mouse click save as.. probably
[01:36] <Guest18105> iziuncs WEB gui. for faster work. U don't nead ssh or anything else just a browser
[01:37] <izinucs> Guest18105: to control what kind of server? apache?
[01:37] <Jonii2> So, one day, without me changing anything, grubs Timer to auto boot linux disappeared. Now i can't boot linux, it sends me straight to busybox after giving me this error: "mount: mounting /proc on /root/pro failed: No such file or directory."  Some other errors follow, but they look like they are based on this first one.
[01:37] <Jonii2> any ideas?
[01:37] <Snappleseed> also, using the ethernet as a common connection between computers doesn't seem to be working, Auto eth0 is the network that comes up, but it keeps failing to connect.
[01:37] <Guest18105> iziuncs: yes for apache
[01:37] <brightspark> StuckMojo: a bug was filed and a fix has been committed IIRC
[01:37] <gartral_> Snappleseed: you may need too make a crossover cable
[01:38] <microm> I need to install juniper network "ncsvc" program from a package called ncui, but I don't know where to find it
[01:38] <StuckMojo> brightspark: yeah i expected that, but I'm curious how to see the output
[01:38] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Here are links and 2 dependencies, I  REALLY hope you have the rest. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/broadcom-sta-common/download     http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/module-assistant/download     http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/quilt/download
[01:38] <StuckMojo> brightspark: besides digging around and running it by hand...isn't it logged somewhere?
[01:38] <StuckMojo> brightspark: this is more of a general question now about how dpkg works
[01:38] <izinucs> Guest18105: http://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-management/apache-gui-ubuntu
[01:38] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Did you add/remove any physical drives?
[01:39] <Guest18105> thx i whatc theme
[01:39] <brightspark> StuckMojo: then your guess is as good as mine
[01:39] <StuckMojo> brightspark: ;)
[01:39] <j_dulaney> maco:  I'm getting all sorts of 'Error creating directory, permission denied' errors, so I'm going to try to find where it's trying to create a directory
[01:39] <nsd> Does anyone know how to change the behavior of empathy so that it doesn't snap the cursor to the window when I receive a message?
[01:39] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: No, that was my first reaction, but we haven't changed anything hardware wise, except i plugged in and xbox controller. Problem occurs with the controller in our out
[01:39] <Snappleseed> !ping FloodBot1
[01:39] <StuckMojo> brightspark: i remember i figured it out once way back when on debian sid, but i've long since forgotton
[01:40] <ohsix> gartral_: just about anything made in the last 10 years is auto switching
[01:40] <gartral_> ohsix: you'ed be surprised.
[01:41] <ohsix> i probably would
[01:41] <gartral_> i have 3 gigabyte boards, each has 2 nic ports, all of them are non-auto switching.
[01:41] <Chubcorp> Is there substitute for poulsbo? It doesn't seem to let me play video off of the HDD.
[01:41] <gartral_> they were bought last year
[01:41] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Maybe you can boot a livecd/usb and see if any new /dev/sd* devices showed up?
[01:42] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Another thing the liveCD offers the the ability to boot from the first drive.. assuming that can get past grub on the HD..
[01:42] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: how would i know if they are new? I have windows on here, but I don't remember what /dev/sd was on there before
[01:42] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: i can get past grub, its just ubuntu that won't work
[01:42] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: How many physical drives do you have?
[01:43] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: If it's busy box, then it's not past grub yet..
[01:43] <gartral_> Jonii2: and have you resized any partitions recently?
[01:43] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: 1 hard drive  1(maybe 2?) CD drives, 1 floppy
[01:43] <Jonii2> but i don't know if the floppy is in
[01:43] <ohsix> Diamondcite: if it's busybox it's still running the initramfs, but grub is done already
[01:43] <Jonii2> i haven't resized any partitions
[01:43] <witeshark>  so i have a question about elevated privileges from update manager: if the icon does not turn off in panel, the elevation is still present right?
[01:43] <Jonii2> yeah i get (initramfs)
[01:43] <Jonii2> and i can type stuff it
[01:43] <Jonii2> and grub boots to windows just fine
[01:44] <gartral_> Jonii2: sounds likr your drive that has Ubuntu on it is hosed.
[01:44] <Jonii2> gartral_: its the same drive that windows is on, just a different partition
[01:44] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Did you do a kernel update recently?
[01:44] <ohsix> witeshark: you mean the key? it just means while its there additional prompts will automatically succeed
[01:44] <Snappleseed> Diamondcite: okay, downloaded and installed the driver, thanks a lot. now to just see if it works, should I re-boot or something?
[01:45] <ohsix> witeshark: which is usually desirable, but the icon is in the tray so you can click it and lock it up tight again immediately
[01:45] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: it's recommended to reboot yes.
[01:45] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: not that i know of, but maybe, i tried booting the old kernel with the grub menu though, it did the same thing
[01:45] <witeshark> ohsix, okay thanks
[01:46] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: If you can ever get it to boot fully. I might suggest re-installing one of the kernels? It feels like grub was interrupted..
[01:46] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: I can get it to boot fully only into windows
[01:46] <ohsix> or the initramfs id damaged
[01:46] <Jonii2> does that count?
[01:46] <ohsix> Jonii2: how big is your /boot partition? or is it part of/
[01:47] <Jonii2> all of ubuntu is on one partition, home, boot, and /
[01:47] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Not really.. but I don't have enough time to go into great detail at the moment..
[01:47] <Jonii2> Diamondcite:  ok
[01:47] <j_dulaney> Ok, I'm thinking that part of the problem is that the coffee shop I'm at is constantly changing the wireless security code.
[01:49] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: so in other words my computer is dead and i get to reinstall everything again?
[01:50] <charlie> i am new to xubuntu
[01:50] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Assuming you didn't get hurt by extremely room shortage.. a liveCD/USB can rescue any ubuntu system with the use of a 'chroot'. But I don't have time for this.
[01:50] <Jonii2> Diamondcite:
[01:50] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: ok i'll try that
[01:50] <bonny> how do i enable partner repository
[01:51] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: The basic idea is to chroot into the HDD and re-install a kernel to trigger grub again to see what happens
[01:51] <Snappleseed> Diamondcite: everything is working now. Thank you very much!
[01:51] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Great to hear it ^_^
[01:51] <Snappleseed> I've got to head off to bed now, thanks again. See you.
[01:52] <cryptopsy> how to sync two ftp severs?
[01:53] <bonny> how do i add sun-java to the repositories
[01:53] <izinucs> bonny: it's in the partner repo.. just enable that
[01:53] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: You should be able to get to the grub menu by holding shift during boot.
[01:53] <ohzie> cryptopsy: You could rsync
[01:54] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: I can get the grub menu, thats not an issue
[01:54] <ndugan> I am looking for a way to get a key (e.g. shift F1) to type out a sequence of characters (e.g. "This is some text") can this be done?
[01:55] <cryptopsy> ohzie: no you can't
[01:55] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: Ahh, I misunderstood your initial comment in the channel. Just so you know, the automatic timeout was disabled *because* it was detected that Ubuntu wasn't booting successfully.
[01:55] <cryptopsy> rsync is its own protocol
[01:55] <cryptopsy> ohzie: you don't know what you're talking about
[01:55] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: Have you tried booting an older kernel?
[01:55] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: ahh ok that makes more sense, but i'm still stuck :P
[01:56] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: yep, same thing
[01:56] <Jonii2> fail at (initramfs)
[01:56] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I use rsync to sync my ftp servers. :|
[01:56] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I don't use the FTP protocol to do it
[01:56] <ohzie> cryptopsy: you can install rsync on an ftp server and it still works
[01:56] <cryptopsy> that's because rsync is running on both servers
[01:57] <ohzie> cryptopsy: Right
[01:57] <cryptopsy> exactly, now put 2 and 2 together
[01:57] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I don't understand why you can't sync your servers with rsync
[01:58] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: What is the output of "cat /proc/partitions" from the initramfs shell?
[01:58] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I feel like you possibly misunderstood my suggestion.
[01:58] <cryptopsy> because not all ftp servers are running rsync daemon, ssh daemon
[01:58] <cryptopsy> no i didn't misunderstand, you're the one who's jumping to the nearest possible assumption because you don't know how to do it any other way
[01:58] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: I'll be back in 5 minutes with an answer :)
[01:59] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I was offering assistance. If my suggestion doesn't work for you, I'm sorry. Don't try to invalidate my help just because it doesn't apply to you. O_o
[02:00] <orugaman> hola a todos
[02:00] <orugaman> hi all
[02:00] <kurochan> hi
[02:00] <kurochan> ubunchuw :$
[02:01] <orugaman> i have a problem with my via thechnologies vga onboard drivers
[02:01] <orugaman> i download a driver from the web
[02:01] <izinucs> orugaman: you aint the only one.. most do
[02:01] <orugaman> but i dont know how install
[02:01] <aaron_wayne> ok, i have a network, is there a way to increase the speed of a download, or to dedicate a certain amount of bandwidth to a download?
[02:02] <aaron_wayne> network question*
[02:02] <cryptopsy> your help doesn't apply to anyone asking the question i asked
[02:02] <orugaman> izinucs, but i had the solution but i dont remember how install this driver
[02:02] <orugaman> cose i reinstall ubuntu
[02:02] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: priority for that type of thing is sometimes done in your router.. for large legal downloads sometimes torrents help alot
[02:03] <izinucs> orugaman: sorry I don't know
[02:03] <frybye> what to do when setting up new mail account in evoloution and need to give it the password right there on settin up - (otherwise it freezes on trying to access the new account before I get the window asking for the pw.?)
[02:03] <Jonii2> Hey i'm back Jordan_U
[02:03] <bonny> does ubuntu server support lubuntu because i asked a question in lubuntu and its been 6 hours an d no one has answer :|
[02:03] <orugaman> if i show u the file
[02:03] <orugaman> can u explain me how install it?
[02:03] <orugaman> im new in linux
[02:03] <kurochan> hmm... usb_modeswitch didn't work well
[02:03] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: it gave me a table, no errors, do you want me to type out the table?
[02:03] <orugaman> the other time i found a tutorial but now
[02:04] <orugaman> i cant find
[02:04] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, well, i am trying to download frostwire, and normally my rate is up around 700-800kb or so, i am pulling excellent speed on the downside right now, 6m, but trying to download that my rate is like under 10k, i dont know whats up, its taking for ever to download a 6.3mb file
[02:04] <orugaman> this is the file
[02:04] <orugaman> http://linux.via.com.tw/support/beginDownload.action?eleid=501&fid=801
[02:04] <IKSSE> is there anyone experienced with ubuntu 10.10 on the thinkpad T43? if so can you query me for a few questions
[02:04] <orugaman> for a cn896+vt8251 plataform
[02:05] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: Just the last column, and a picture works as well. Basically I'm wondering if your root filesystem's partition is being detected at all. The next step would be to try to mount it from the initramfs shell.
[02:05] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: has to do with the servers you're connected to.. why frostwire? you have a torrent app built in that's pretty good
[02:05] <Jonii2> sda
[02:05] <Jonii2> oops
[02:05] <orugaman> anybody can helpme?
[02:05] <orugaman> please?
[02:05] <Jonii2> sda, sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4, sda5
[02:06] <Jordan_U> !helpme | orugaman
[02:06] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, not very familiar with it, do u recommend what comes installed or is there a better one out there?
[02:06] <Jonii2> thats the last column
[02:06] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: you on unity?
[02:06] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: Do you know off hand which of those would be your root filesystem?
[02:06] <orugaman> im doing that
[02:06] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, nope maverick, but still running gnome
[02:06] <orugaman> how install via technologies vga drivers?
[02:07] <orugaman> i have the file downloaded alrready
[02:07] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: transmission is the default torrent program that's installed.. I've never really had an issue with it.
[02:07] <Jonii2> er, uh, no.  I believe windows and windows recovery are the first to though
[02:08] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, k, i will check that out, any other idea with the download issue, while that is my current problem, i have run into it before and never really understood why i have a 6m downstream but cant actually download at that, you say it should be setting in router?
[02:08] <ubboneb> Hi all! Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Remix on my PackardBell DOTS2 netbook: everything work fine! :D Just wanted to know 2 things: A) why Unity DE is slow and default GNOME runs more smoothly?; B) I'd like to have a launcher on Unity dock from where I can click on it and mount my windows partition (*not auotomount at boot*, but I want to click on it, insert my pwd and then get the partition mounted on my choosen path: /home/MY_U
[02:09] <MaRk-I> orugaman: unpack the file then in terminal go to the "utilities" folder and type ./install  it will ask you if you're using ubuntu 10.10 select it
[02:09] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: you could be choked by your isp.. lots of them don't like torrents
[02:09] <orugaman> i want to learn how install a drivers downloaded for  a via thechnologies vga onboard
[02:10] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, well, this isnt a torrent, just a regular old download through a browser
[02:10] <orugaman> thanks mark

[02:10] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: then it's server related.. maybe someone else on your LAN is playing xbox, streaming video,music etc ??
[02:11] <orugaman> i try and come to tell if this work
[02:11] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, nah, cant be that, no one else on here but me, and i ran speedtest, shouldnt be any traffic issues, stats look real good, low ping times and pullin about 6m down

[02:38] <Kimmag> Is it normal that "Running after-installation menu" (95%) takes long time during install ?
[02:38] <ohsix> ubboneb: you can change the volume name if you want to change the mount point
[02:39] <ohsix> ubboneb: oh, nevermind; you said out of /media

[02:39] <L4nce0> hey all, so I'm trying to run a make file, and just parse out the errors. I'm trying make all | grep 'error' and it's just printing all
[02:40] <ohsix> ubboneb: you can do what you want but nothing is going to make it as nice as the stuff that labels and puts it in /media
[02:40] <van7hu> hello, is there a case when I do dhclient, I receive a DHPACK from an IP that I could not ping to it?
[02:40] <Kimmag> HOw long does " running post-installation trigger menu " last?
[02:41] <ubboneb> ohsix: no problems; what I want is a launcher in Unity tha can me mount the partition with pwd request
[02:41] <ohsix> if you can find out how to add a launcher; gksudo mount ... should suffice
[02:42] <ohsix> the password doesn't really serve any purpose, you can make the mount point mountable by users
[02:42] <ubboneb> ohsix: can't find the way to add a launcher to unity! :p
[02:43] <ubboneb> and I *need* pwd request to mount 'cause i want a *safe* mounting
[02:43] <ohsix> i don't know what an unsafe mounting is and why the password gets you a safe mounting
[02:43] <sunzi> is it possible to to have certain application open on certain workspaces from startup?

[02:52] <microm> anyone using the juniper network VPN? I need the ncui package but somehow it's not trivial to find
[02:53] <L4nce0> Jordan_U: worked like a charm! |& means stderr?
[02:54] <Jordan_U> L4nce0: It means to pipe both stdout and stderr of the preceeding command into stdin of the command following.
[02:55] <ksbalaji> I've a text file with extn .pmd to view. OO cannot open it. Guide please
[02:55] <rumpe1> ksbalaji, sure it's a text file? whats the error message?
[02:56] <ksbalaji> rumpe1, unable to open
[02:57] <ksbalaji> I also used document viewer. same result
[02:57] <rumpe1> ksbalaji, well... there could be a number of reasons for "unable to open"... e.g. permissions
[02:57] <izinucs> ksbalaji: what was the doc made with?
[02:58] <ksbalaji> rumpe1, This file, I think is made with page maker?
[02:59] <rumpe1> ksbalaji, don't know pagemaker, but again: sure, it's a textfile?
[02:59] <ksbalaji> izinucs, The sender told it should be pagemaker.
[02:59] <izinucs> ksbalaji: if it's made with page maker then it's not a text file.. perhaps scribus or inkscape can import it.
[02:59] <ksbalaji> rumpe1, The sender told it contains document.
[03:00] <rumpe1> ksbalaji, a textfile is a file, which only contains text
[03:00] <ksbalaji> izinucs, I tried scribus. It could not open. It is not corrupted. I shall try with inskscape.
[03:00] <GeekMan> im building a program and i get this message when i run cmake ........................       CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:894 (message): Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. any ideas
[03:01] <ksbalaji> rumpe1, Sorry. I mean - a document file.
[03:01] <freezway> GeekMan, u need the boost libs
[03:01] <GeekMan> :(
[03:01] <izinucs> ksbalaji: the other option is to have your friend xport it from page maker in postscript or .eps .. that is if he created it... those file types will import into scribus
[03:01] <freezway> look in synaptic for boost libraries
[03:02] <irule> how many gigabytes are transfered by dd from hard drive to hard drive? both are 5400 something
[03:02] <GeekMan> how do i get them? freezway
[03:02] <Jordan_U> irule: It depends on what options you passed to dd.
[03:02] <GeekMan> oh ...
[03:02] <freezway> GeekMan, uh, im on arch, i dont have pat on this comp, but open synaptic and look for lib-boost or something like that
[03:02] <freezway> systems > administration > synaptic i think
[03:02] <GeekMan> k
[03:02] <GeekMan> yeah yeah
[03:02] <GeekMan> :)
[03:03] <irule> Jordan_U no options, just if and of
[03:03] <Auriga> freezway, Are you proficient in Arch?
[03:04] <Jordan_U> irule: if and of are options :)
[03:04] <freezway> Auriga, meh, proficient enough to use it
[03:04] <irule> dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
[03:04] <ksbalaji> izinucs, unfortunately, my friend did not create this .pmd file and cannot convert it.
[03:04] <Auriga> freezway, Lol, I know that feeling, which WM are you using?
[03:04] <Jordan_U> irule: That will copy as many GiB as the smaller of the two drives. dd is a bit for bit copy.
[03:04] <freezway> Auriga, xfce
[03:05] <gartral_> irule: dd is short for "Data Dump" btw
[03:05] <ksbalaji> izinucs, rumpe1 is there an application to view .pmd files?
[03:05] <irule> Jordan_U yes I know that, but I am copying a 15 GB partition and did not specify the partition number so now I have to guess the time it takes for the whole partition to go through3
[03:05] <kassius> irssi is really fun 8)
[03:06] <irule> and not wait for the 80 gigs to be over haha
[03:06] <GeekMan> i think it might work now thanks
[03:06] <Auriga> freezway, That was a simple install? Any time I try to install anything other Gnome, on it's own. I run into problems.
[03:06] <kassius> Anyone know if it is possible to use widescreen at real console?
[03:06] <kassius> knows*
[03:06] <Auriga> know**
[03:06] <Auriga> lol
[03:07] <freezway> Auriga, yeah. pretty simple, just follow the wiki for it
[03:07] <ksbalaji> izinucs, rumpe1 inkskape also cannot view this file.
[03:07] <ayrton> hey guys whats the newest intel driver version?
[03:07] <freezway> kassien, you have nvidia/ati right?
[03:07] <Auriga> freezway, Yeah the documentation is awesome, though I still run into issues. lol.
[03:07] <freezway> ayrton, whatevers in 2.6.38
[03:07] <kassius> nvidia
[03:07] <freezway> thats what #archlinux is for Auriga
[03:08] <Jordan_U> irule: Please explain in detail your situation and your end goal. The command you gave will read bits from /dev/sda and write then to /dev/sdb untill it runs out of bits to read from or write to.
[03:08] <GeekMan> nope
[03:08] <freezway> kassien, there is, but its extremely complex and annoying, i'd avoid it.
[03:08] <Corren> if I was running 5-10 simultaneous vms for virtualizing my production environment, what kind of hardware would you think is reasonable?
[03:08] <ayrton> freezway i successfully installed kernel 2.6.38.3
[03:08] <qisr> hi
[03:08] <Corren> for functional, not perf testing
[03:08] <ayrton> so im using a different driver?
[03:08] <freezway> ayrton, congrats, you have the lastest driver
[03:08] <ksbalaji> Is there a reader for pagemaker pmd extn files in ubuntu please?
[03:09] <kassius> freezway, do you know any site that explains how to it?
[03:09] <ayrton> freezway i tried glxgears before update and after but there the same
[03:09] <kassius> do*

[03:09] <freezway> kassien, uh, the archwiki has an article on it, you'd have to do things differently on ubuntu, but you could give it a shot. lemme grab the link
[03:09] <irule> Jordan_U ok, 2 drives, a 80 sda w 15gb part, and a new 160 drive w 15gb part, both 1, then I did "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdab" with no part numbers! so now I am trying to guess when 15 gb are done hehe
[03:10] <kassius> oh ok
[03:11] <ayrton> freezway, so updating to the newest driver didnt help. im trying to get a game native to linux to play
[03:12] <ayrton> i think i should check if the driver supports opengl, i gotta google the terminal command for it i think
[03:12] <trism> GeekMan: you could try libboost-all-dev if you don't want to track them all down one by one, what are you building? if it is something that has a version in the repo you can: sudo apt-get build-dep package_name; to get most of what you are likely to need
[03:12] <IKSSE> im running 10.10 on a thinkpad T43 with integrated Intel gfx and cant seem to get more than 5FPS playing games with java. Any info on enabling 3D acceleration or anything else that would help?
[03:13] <GeekMan> im building light spark lightspark
[03:13] <Jordan_U> irule: pkill -SIGUSR1 dd
[03:14] <izinucs> IKSSE: pull the intel card out and put in an nvidia .. ebay is a great source
[03:14] <Jordan_U> irule: That should print how much dd has copied so far. Though this is an odd way to go about copying a partition.
[03:14] <linuskevin> irc://irc.freenode.net/php
[03:14] <irule> Jordan_U that is not the problem, I just want to know how many gigabytes are transfered in a minute or any other factor to measure trnasfer status
[03:14] <freezway> kassien, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uvesafb
[03:15] <irule> this pkill command will not kill the process? Ive used that  to logout gnome users haha
[03:15] <Jordan_U> irule: That information will be printed as well.
[03:15] <ksbalaji> izinucs, rumpe1 thanks for trying - I've to quit. bye!
[03:15] <Saeth> I have a quick question, is there a limit on how many files you can ¨cat¨ at one time?
[03:15] <freezway> ayrton, give me lspci
[03:15] <kassius> freezway thank you very much
[03:15] <freezway> kassien, be warned
[03:15] <freezway> it could FUBAR ur system if ur not careful
[03:16] <zooka> Hey a quick question for anyone who's familiar with rsync. I'm writing a script for backups, but due to the roundabout way my drive is connected, I have to use "sudo rsync -av ....etc". Now I know that '-a' retains permissions, but what I'm concerned about is using sudo with it. Will using sudo change the permissions of the files I'm backing up to being owned by root? Or will they still be owned by my non-root user? Thank you in advance.
[03:16] <katsrc> hey, is ubuntu-minimal a dependency for Kubuntu desktop?
[03:16] <IKSSE> Izinucs: so its basically just a hardware issue moreso than a software or config issue?
[03:16] <Saeth> freezway, depending on how much ram you have ?
[03:16] <freezway> Saeth, what?
[03:17] <Jordan_U> irule: No. Kill and pkill both send signals to processes, the most common being SIGTERM and SIGKILL, but SIGUSR1 does not terminate a process.
[03:17] <Saeth> freezway, sorry thought you were answering the question I asked.
[03:17] <ayrton> freezway here : http://pastebin.com/qMPGYFsD
[03:17] <freezway> Saeth, no
[03:17] <freezway> ayrton, looks fine... hmmm
[03:18] <freezway> Saeth, what be ur issue
[03:18] <ayrton> yeah and iv seen vids of the game running great on my chipset
[03:18] <Saeth> freezway, just wondeing if there is a limit on how files you can ¨cat¨ at one time? all the examples if have seen are cat file 1 file 2 but ive never seen anything longer then that.
[03:18] <freezway> ayrton, its not sandy bridge is it?
[03:19] <ayrton> no amnesia the dark descent
[03:19] <freezway> Saeth, i think 2, but idk. try #bash or something
[03:19] <freezway> ayrton, i was refering to ur cpu
[03:19] <Saeth> freezway, alright thanks for the help and advice.
[03:19] <ayrton> oh
[03:20] <ayrton> what does sandy bridges mean then?
[03:20] <ayrton> my intel card is a gma 4500m
[03:20] <freezway> ayrton, the newest intel cpus (i7, i5, i3)
[03:20] <freezway> oh ok
[03:20] <freezway> thats fine
[03:20] <ayrton> yeah
[03:20] <freezway> should work better
[03:20] <izinucs> IKSSE: i'd say so.. I've got a t42.. depending on the game it's pretty slow
[03:21] <ayrton> freezway game installs fine and runs fine but when its time for gameplay it crashes.. so i think it was driver related
[03:21] <Jordan_U> Saeth: The only limit is the limit imposed by the kernel on the number of arguments that can be passed to a process.
[03:22] <IKSSE> izinucs: apparently minecraft takes its toll on the integrated card. cant seem to find an nvidia card for the T43 on ebay either  =/
[03:22] <freezway> ayrton, oh it crashes? is it under wine
[03:22] <ayrton> no native to linux
[03:23] <freezway> nice! um... idk. sorry
[03:23] <Saeth> Jordan_U, alright, so I should be fine with 3 files. Thank you.
[03:23] <linuxmonkey> Sup everyone
[03:23] <Jordan_U> Saeth: Yes. You're welcome.
[03:24] <ayrton> freezway i found a vid of the game playing on my chipset and the guy says he is running xf-video-intel 2.13.0

[03:26] <ayrton> freezway, in synaptic is says im using the driver for i7,i8,i9 chipset...
[03:27] <freezway> oh
[03:27] <freezway> uhhh
[03:27] <freezway> look for somehting else 1 sec
[03:28] <wcchandler> Not even a 3.166 Ghz processor with 2 nVidia Quadro FX 570s can play 1080p without hesitation :(
[03:28] <IKSSE> izinucs: found this while googling; It is not possible to add a new video card to the ThinkPad T43 because of the fact that it ships with onboard video, meaning that the video card is on the motherboard.
[03:29] <trism> GeekMan: the natty package lists the following build deps: nasm llvm-2.7-dev llvm-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev zlib1g-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libpcre3-dev libavutil-dev libftgl-dev libx11-dev libglu1-mesa-dev fontconfig libglew-dev libpulse-dev libavcodec-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnspr4-dev xulrunner-dev libsdl-dev libxml++2.6-dev gnash-common
[03:29] <raido> wcchandler: ??? there are no HDTV that even com close to tht power
[03:29] <trism> GeekMan: try installing those (that's besides cmake and the boost deps)
[03:29] <freezway> ayrton, idk
[03:30] <raido> wcchandler: I have a AMD Zacate that does it fine
[03:30] <ayrton> i downloaded that driver now i need to install it
[03:30] <ayrton> its a .tar.gz file
[03:30] <shang> anyone knows what is the default Ubuntu remote desktop server?
[03:30] <wcchandler> Do you get lines in the middle from it refreshing half the screen at a time?
[03:30] <wcchandler> raido: ^
[03:30] <raido> wcchandler: no
[03:30] <wcchandler> I hate you :(  /*sarcasm/*
[03:31] <wcchandler> What's your refresh rate?  I can only get mine to operate at 59hz
[03:32] <raido> wcchandler: maybe you have a driver issue.
[03:32] <trism> shang: vino
[03:32] <wcchandler> I was using the default restricted that Ubuntu suggested.
[03:32] <wcchandler> Using the beta of whatever's coming out
[03:33] <raido> Im at 60 hz
[03:34] <raido> wcchandler: I dont know what is causing you issue but its not lack of processing power
[03:34] <wcchandler> Hmm... are you using multi-cores/multi-threaded?
[03:35] <ayrton> freezway u wouldnt know how to install this intel deriver i just downloaded would u
[03:35] <wcchandler> I tried in VLC and Mplayer/SMplayer
[03:35] <ayrton> driver
[03:35] <raido> wcchandler: are you watching it at 1080 or are you pushing it up?
[03:35] <wcchandler> You mean the video resolution?
[03:35] <raido> yes
[03:35] <wcchandler> Good question
[03:36] <raido> wcchandler: i.e. areyou watching a 1080 source at 1900
[03:36] <wcchandler> Oh man..  It's only 720p...  so ermm..  And TV is set for 1080p
[03:37] <wcchandler> Then in theory, it playing in a window, no upscaling, no "tearing"
[03:37] <freaky[t]> anyone can help me with the alternate installer? i want to resize a partition. i did that but now there is a new unused partition but when i try to use it it only tells me that i can view where it starts and where it stops ... y is that i want to use it for ubuntu?
[03:38] <wcchandler> raido: Thanks :)
[03:38] <raido> wcchandler: :-)
[03:39] <ayrton> can any 1 tell me how to install this driver i downloaded a xf86-video-intel-s.13.0.tar.gz file and i need to install it
[03:40] <linuxmonkey> I have a hardware raid (NTFS) yeah i know..anyways i need access to it and i'm not seing it anywere. any ideas
[03:40] <wcchandler> ayrton: tar -xvzf xf86-video-intel-s.13.0.tar.gz
[03:40] <ayrton> terminal command?
[03:40] <wcchandler> That will extract the package contents and give you a readme file.
[03:40] <wcchandler> Yes, in the same directory as the package
[03:40] <wcchandler> Or right click > Extract Here...
[03:41] <ayrton> yeah i got that -_- what do i do with the file now
[03:42] <wcchandler> Could be a bunch of different things.  Should say in the readme.  :(  Sorry it really depends on the packager
[03:42] <Hack3r0932> Hello(:
[03:42] <Hack3r0932> could anyone tell me how to use voIP?
[03:42] <folivora> o0
[03:43] <wcchandler> Main commands you're looking for are ./configure, make, make install
[03:43] <folivora> I assume that you mean Voice over IP?
[03:43] <tiox> Popping in real fast to share a recent discovery of mine.
[03:43] <Hack3r0932> Yea
[03:43] <ayrton> wcchandler read the readme all it says is that its a 2d driver and doesnt say how to install
[03:43] <tiox> For some odd reason, keeping secondary right click (hold left) on messes with KDE oxygen cursors in Ubuntu.
[03:43] <Hack3r0932> FUCK THE WORLD
[03:43] <tiox> Least on mymachine anyway/
[03:44] <tiox> Puh-leeze.
[03:44] <wcchandler> what's the list of directories and files?
[03:44] <tiox> What now?
[03:44] <tiox> What exactly are you trying to access?
[03:45] <tiox> If you're just looking to access available drives on your machine, then go to Places > Computer
[03:45] <tiox> From there, go to File System.
[03:45] <tiox> Or, up-up-up your way to the directory where /bin, /usr, /etc are, etc.
[03:45] <tiox> (Rather, use the breadcrumbs, lol

[03:50] <danial> Jygen,  ubuntu is new to you
[03:51] <Xylch> I am trying to get some data off of a nearly dead windows hard drive. I have it connected to my ubuntu machine as a slave, but with it connected ubuntu won't load, it goes to a shell prompt called 'ash', any suggestions?
[03:51] <Jordan_U> Jygen: Open Applications > Ubuntu Software Center and look around.
[03:51] <danial> Jygen,  you can play around with a bouncy ball... have you got one?
[03:51] <Jygen> i dont have one
[03:51] <Jygen> =/
[03:51] <Jygen> ive been throught the software center
[03:51] <danial> Jygen,  ok so log out, why are you sitting by a computer, just go outside and by yourself a bouncy ball!
[03:52] <Jygen> im trying to familiarize myself with the terminal
[03:52] <Jygen> my goal is to be able to use gentoo by the end of this year
[03:52] <danial> Jygen, sounds like a good plan!
[03:52] <Jygen> but im starting off with ubuntu because its noob friendly
[03:53] <microm> how do I get a 32-bit java?
[03:54] <Tyrone> need help please any one knows what package of ubuntu that can cache video?
[03:54] <danial> Jygen, you should try Fedora in a month or so
[03:54] <danial> Jygen, then try openSUSE
[03:55] <Tyrone> like youtube cache
[03:55] <ctmjr> !java | microm
[03:56] <microm> Jygen: go for linux mint, it is by far the easiest; or jump right into gentoo and follow the handbook
[03:56] <sarthor> Hi, i am setting vpn server on ubuntu machine, i am not able to connect the  client xp and ubuntu both to the server, logs are here, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596358/ ,I followed this  http://www.ewdisonthen.com/how-to-setup-pptp-vpn-server-on-linux-tutorial-07577.php how to

[03:57] <tamara__> should install the new version 11.04 on ubuntu 10.10?
[03:58] <devino21> had to run the upgrade in order to get 11.04 beta on a Lenovo T61
[03:58] <devino21> it worked!
[03:58] <connor_> Hi, could someone help me install the "XMatrix" Screensaver in xubuntu 10.10? Thank you :)
[04:00] <pfifo> anyone else having trouble with SD cards/readers?
[04:01] <microm> Jygen: I heard pardus linux is also quite easy
[04:01] <tripelb> FYI a no I havent pfifo what's your version of ubuntu? what else do you have plugged in. -- You can check and see what UBUNTU thinks you have plugged in with lsusb
[04:01] <Jordan_U> connor_: install xscreensaver-data-extra
[04:01] <tripelb> that's LSUSB in lowercase
[04:01] <Jygen> i like the feel of ubuntu though
[04:01] <Jygen> thats kind of why i started with it
[04:01] <connor_> Jardan_U: Thank you, I'll try that
[04:01] <microm> Jygen: oh, I though you had nothing installed. okay then. you're doing fine.
[04:01] <Jordan_U> connor_: You're welcome.
[04:02] <Jygen> i have ubuntu 11.04 installed
[04:02] <Jygen> i tried 10.04 back when it was first released but it wouldnt detect my graphics driver
[04:02] <Jygen> so i went back to windows
[04:03] <Jygen> and i decided to give it another shot so i installed 11.04 yesterday
[04:03] <connor_> Jordan_U: Thank you, it worked :)
[04:03] <Jygen> thats why i asked if there was anything i could try playing around with in ubuntu for fun
[04:04] <pfifo> tripelb, Both on 8.04 and 10.10 with a bag full of card about %10 work on my computer while all of them are fine with any of 3 cameras/1 wii/2 mp3 players
[04:04] <Jordan_U> connor_: You're welcome :)
[04:05] <shawnguo> Hello everyone
[04:05] <shawnguo> I need a support here
[04:05] <oliveira_> boa noite a todos
[04:05] <tripelb> pfifo, I am listening. what is a bag gul of card? etc. lets get simple. so some cards work on your computer and some dont, right
[04:06] <shawnguo> when I upgrade my maverick server to natty beta, I found dante-client is missing
[04:06] <tripelb> shawnguo-- you cant hook someone in for you. You must just blurt it out and see who can answer. make sure you tell your setup, program etc..
[04:06] <pfifo> tripelb, I have 6 cards at my disposal and 1 of them actually works.
[04:07] <tripelb> shawnguo, now I see I know nothing about your proglem.
[04:07] <shawnguo> and I got dante-client : Depends: libdsocksd0 (= 1.1.19.dfsg-3ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed
[04:08] <tripelb> ok pfifo, it seems like your computer works. maybe the cards done. when you put a card in and then go lsusb it will tell you what it sees in the USB slots. -- Do the cards work in other different devices?
[04:08] <ctmjr> shawnguo, you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:08] <tripelb> pfifo, correction.  done should be don't
[04:08] <shawnguo> ctmjr: ok, thanks
[04:09] <pfifo> tripelb, card is working, works fine with the camera/wii/mp3
[04:09] <tripelb> pfifo, oh.
[04:10] <tripelb> and when you put it in pfifo the lsusb shows nothing?  I go back to basics (dont you hate it?) Is it plugged in? Might try cleaning the contacts. Could be your card reader is fussy.
[04:10] <Dracofodder> looks like I'm getting the same issue as in Bug #766534... where would I get the update described?  there is a note about it being in the "security repository" but I don't know where that is
[04:11] <pfifo> tripelb, it shows my card reader in lsusb, no actual change
[04:11] <tripelb> could also try reformatting it pfifo
[04:11] <van7hu> hello, what is the name of ipfwadm in lucid?
[04:11] <tripelb> pfifo it shows in the card reader but not on the desktop. Is that right?
[04:11] <tamara__> should install the new version 11.04 on ubuntu 10.10?
[04:11] <pfifo> tripelb, reformatted with working camera to fat16
[04:11] <pfifo> tripelb, no
[04:12] <pfifo> tripelb, on lsusb, it has my reader listed, there is not an addidtional entry for the card however
[04:12] <tripelb> oh
[04:13] <tripelb> pfifo, I'm thinking. are any of the cards that get recognized FAT16?
[04:13] <tamara__> should install the new version 11.04 on ubuntu 10.10?
[04:13] <Logan_> !natty | tamara__
[04:14] <spark666> better wait till the official release
[04:14] <zinadork> Does anyone know if Natty will support Synaptics Clickpads?
[04:14] <Logan_> !natty | zinadork
[04:15] <tamara__> ohh ok
[04:15] <tamara__> thanks
[04:15] <spark666> yw
[04:15] <spark666> u like the new unity interface
[04:15] <spark666> ?
[04:15] <spark666> :)
[04:15] <zinadork> I'm aware of that, but Maverick didn't support Clickpads and it was  major problem
[04:15] <tamara__> but u can upgrade the version
[04:15] <pfifo> tripelb, yes, i  have 1 card that works in both machines that is formatted fat16 with my digital camera.
[04:15] <Jygen> tamara_: If you upgrade it now it shouldnt cause u any problems.
[04:16] <spark666> yes but there are some bugs
[04:16] <Jygen> tamara_: Im using 11.04 and i dont have any issues with it
[04:16] <spark666> no crushes
[04:16] <spark666> ?
[04:17] <Jygen> none
[04:17] <spark666> hmmm
[04:17] <Jygen> runs smooth for me
[04:17] <Jygen> i did a fresh install with it though
[04:17] <Jygen> i didnt upgrade it
[04:17] <spark666> yes
[04:17] <spark666> ive did it to
[04:17] <greensimian> Hey so what is the command to report how much physical memory is installed in my puter?
[04:17] <Jygen> you had crashes?
[04:17] <spark666> but now i returned to 10.10
[04:18] <spark666> yes i had
[04:18] <spark666> specialy compiz
[04:18] <spark666> ;)
[04:18] <Jygen> well then
[04:18] <Jygen> hmm
[04:18] <Jygen> idk
[04:18] <Jygen> i dont seem to have a problem with ti
[04:18] <spark666> i wait till the final release
[04:18] <spark666> but by the way
[04:19] <spark666> whats ur opinion about unity
[04:19] <spark666> ?
[04:19] <Jygen> i like it
[04:19] <Logan_> !poll | spark666
[04:19] <ultrixx> unity is great
[04:20] <spark666> sorry didnt know it
[04:20] <pfifo> tripelb, I was just able to get a 2nd card to work
[04:20] <devino21> I like that you can snap 1/2 windows in the middle of dual monitor systems!
[04:21] <van7hu> hello, is there ipfwadm package in lucid lynx?
[04:21] <ctmjr> Jygen you should not give that advice unless you are prepared to fix any issues they might have6
[04:22] <pfifo> tripelb, I was charging my phone via USB, it was taking too much power and hence the cards were not working
[04:22] <LAcan> ctmjr, youre asking a lot for free tech support, buddy
[04:26] <codex84> i have virtual machine with windows 7 on it and vnc server install on it
[04:26] <codex84> cant connect to it by useing remote desktop viewer on ubuntu
[04:27] <codex84> i went to the router to port foward but is only 192.x.x.x.x
[04:28] <codex84> and the ip address on the virtual machine and the vnc server is 10.x.x.x
[04:28] <Dcite> codex84: How is it setup? bridged or NAT?
[04:29] <codex84> it gave a error sayin u behind a nat
[04:29] <codex84> or a router
[04:29] <Dcite> By default virtualbox shares the network in NAT mode
[04:29] <I-are-> does anyone know how to fix this error?  http://pastebin.com/bFAgyJf4
[04:30] <Dcite> codex84: I suggest trying to put your VM into bridged mode in order to make connections easier
[04:30] <codex84> alright i try
[04:30] <codex84> that
[04:30] <I-are-> codex84, to get through nat you will either need bridge mode or a vpn
[04:31] <I-are-> bridge mode is easiest.
[04:31] <pfifo> I-are-, what made that message?
[04:31] <I-are-> pfifo, trying to run QQ international from command line.
[04:32] <codex84> whats the difference
[04:32] <I-are-> pfifo, ./qq: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by ./qq)
[04:32] <codex84> between nat and briged?
[04:32] <pfifo> I-are-, they are using a different version of glibc++
[04:32] <pfifo> I-are-, compiled aginst rather
[04:33] <itilious> why would an ssh portforward be working for port 80, and others, but not VNC ports?
[04:33] <I-are-> codex84, bridged uses a tap adapter, at least in windows, which is a virtual nic that is routed through your os rather than a nat
[04:33] <Dcite> codex84: NAT, it uses a VirtualBox network adapter to share you connection, no additional config outside the system is needed to use the same line..  Bridged mode, treats it like it has its very own network card, even though in reality it is sharing your only card.
[04:33] <pfifo> I-are-, compile it from scratch
[04:33] <I-are-> pfifo, not opensource
[04:33] <itilious> i get "chanel 3 open failed" and more this ring a bell for anyone?
[04:34] <pfifo> I-are-, ask them to release a 8.04+ deb package
[04:34] <Dcite> itilious: That message comes up frequently for me, doesn't seem important
[04:34] <codex84> i see
[04:34] <codex84> i got it now thanks alot man
[04:35] <codex84> appreicate it
[04:35] <revilodraw> sorry, i know this is offtopic, but i need a genius nerd to tell me, how different are these processors? http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=36697,42779, which is best, and by how much?
[04:35] <itilious> Dcite, are you still able to connect your vnc viewer thru the ssh forwarded port? which port?
[04:35] <quuxman> Having trouble starting X
[04:35] <I-are-> codex84 you get it.  Virtual nic on host system is bridged, virtual nic nated through a virtual router in vBox is NAT
[04:35] <quuxman> not sure what I did that broke it, but I can't boot unless in rescue mode, and if I try to start X from rescue mode I get a blank screen, but not crashed because power button still works
[04:36] <codex84> right the ip change on the server
[04:36] <quuxman> I have the gma500 poulsbo chipset :-/
[04:36] <codex84> i was on the nat
[04:36] <codex84> lol
[04:36] <Dcite> itilious: Don't you usually need a socks proxy setup in order to pass things through it?
[04:36] <I-are-> codex84, yep, you are grabbing the DHCP from the same source as you host machine with Bridged.
[04:37] <quuxman> it doesn't even work with the failsafe xorg.conf that uses vesa
[04:37] <sarthor> Hi, i am setting vpn server on ubuntu machine, i am not able to connect the  client xp and ubuntu both to the server, logs are here, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596358/ ,I followed this  http://www.ewdisonthen.com/how-to-setup-pptp-vpn-server-on-linux-tutorial-07577.php how to
[04:37] <codex84> intel core duo
[04:37] <codex84> is better
[04:37] <codex84> revildraw
[04:37] <codex84> i-are: i see
[04:38] <revilodraw> codex84: yes, but how much better?
[04:38] <quuxman> There are no errors in the X11 log
[04:39] <codex84> well 1.40 still
[04:39] <codex84> slow but better than 1.20 lmao
[04:39] <quuxman> don't know where to even start trouble shooting this
[04:39] <codex84> ghz
[04:39] <codex84> need upgrade lol
[04:39] <revilodraw> codex84: lol yeah i know, but would you say the difference between the two is very slight?
[04:40] <revilodraw> codex84: http://www.kogan.com.au/shop/agora-pro-12-ultra-portable-laptop-computer/ i'm looking at this
[04:40] <Chad___> I'm getting the "frequency out of range" error. Can anyone help. I'm using a LiveCD as of now.
[04:41] <ohsix> Chad___: from your monitor? are you using an intel or nvidia card?
[04:41] <Chad___> However, I have Ubuntu installed already.
[04:41] <Chad___> ohsix: nvidia
[04:42] <Chad___> ohsix: And yes, from my monitor. I need to go and change the Xorg settings, don't I?
[04:43] <ohsix> dunno
[04:44] <ohsix> depends on what happened, if an updated driver broke; or the edid is wrong on your monitor and it finally started caring
[04:45] <Chad___> ohsix: I removed the Nvidia drivere right before this occured. I had the same problem before this, but I was at least able to log in.
[04:46] <hilarie> So..., I gksudo'd a virtualbox guest to get something done... and now... root owns that guest os... how can I take things back from root, he stole my windows xp install
[04:46] <hilarie> Any idea's on how to take it back?
[04:47] <Chad___> ohsix: Any way I can reinstall the nvidia driver from a live cd?
[04:48] <drinxtir> #xbins
[04:48] <ctmjr> Chad___, do this in rescue mode sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.config and change the driver to vesa then reboot hopefully it will fix X not starting
[04:48] <ohsix> you can chroot into the other system
[04:48] <ohsix> ctmjr: there usually isn't an xorg.conf
[04:49] <ctmjr> ohsix there is if he installed the nvidia driver iirc
[04:50] <ohsix> poop
[04:50] <hilarie> startx has fixed xorg not starting for me in the past
[04:50] <aajjbb> hi
[04:50] <Chad___> ctmjr: Thanks, I'll give it a try
[04:51] <aajjbb> hi.. i'm new here;
[04:51] <aajjbb> where are you guys from ?
[04:51] <ohsix> hilarie: it fixed it?
[04:52] <taglass> hilarie: chown is the command to change permissions back to your user
[04:52] <hilarie> oh so cd to the directory where the things are
[04:52] <hilarie> then chown <filename>?
[04:52] <taglass> and do chown hilarie:hilarie <filename>
[04:53] <taglass> well sudo chown
[04:53] <itilious> has anyone here been able to create a vnc over SSH connection sucessefully?
[04:53] <sheena1> hi all. I'm hoping to get some help. I'd like to make a window transparent and put it over a program running in wine.. but compiz doesn't work very well on my laptop. is there any other way to do this? i'm running Gnome..
[04:53] <hilarie> ty taglass :)
[04:53] <hilarie> is there a GUI way to do it?
[04:53] <hilarie> root has almost 50 files of mine
[04:55] <trism> itilious: yes, with x11vnc and the -localhost switch, and then ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 host
[04:55] <LAcan> can anyone recommend an internet search bar for panels?
[04:55] <itilious> trism, i'm using tightvncserver tho
[04:55] <ctmjr> hilarie, gksu nautilus then click the properties tab and then the permission tab on the dir you want to change
[04:56] <taglass> hilarie: you could gksu nautilus and do ith trough gui
[04:56] <hilarie> !
[04:56] <hilarie> Thank you both, that sounds better
[04:56] <itilious> trism, is x11vnc better/newer or just a different "flavor" of a vnc server versus tightvncserver?
[04:56] <taglass> or you could just use wildcards.  if all of the files are in one directory sudo chown hil:hil *.*
[04:56] <taglass> or add the -R flag if you want to do it recursively
[04:57] <trism> itilious: I can't really say, I've barely used tightvnc
[04:58] <itilious> trism, is it possible to get x11vnc to have "session" logins like tightvnc does? basicaly another desktop instead of the one logged on locally?
[05:01] <Guest98823> Who better to recommend a Chinese input method
[05:01] <Jygen> does anyone have the commands to get doom3 through the terminal
[05:02] <codex84> not bad
[05:02] <codex84> i:are
[05:02] <sheena1> hi all. I'm hoping to get some help. I'd like to make a window transparent and put it over a program running in wine.. but compiz doesn't work very well on my laptop. is there any other way to do this? i'm running Gnome..
[05:02] <ctmjr> !ch | Guest98823
[05:03] <Guest98823> Who better to recommend a Chinese input method
[05:03] <Guest98823> 谁推荐一个好一点的中文输入法
[05:03] <trism> itilious: I don't know, I don't see any reason why tightvnc wouldn't work over ssh too though
[05:03] <FloodBot3> !netsplit

[05:03] <Diamondcite> !cn Guest98823
[05:04] <Diamondcite> !cn | Guest98823
[05:04] <itilious> trism, its the port, i can't seem to pin down the port that tightvncserver is using
[05:04] <rohan233> is there something faster than aria2c?
[05:04] <ctmjr> thank you Diamondcite
[05:04] <trism> itilious: usually it increases with the display, so :1 would be 5901, etc
[05:04] <itilious> every time i seem to get the port right, the vnc viewer locks up
[05:05] <archmagos> hi all ...  could anyone direct me to a good place to discuss configuring directory colours in gnome-terminal using the solarized pallette?
[05:07] <itilious> is vnc "old school" anyway is it much more efficient to forward x?
[05:07] <Anom01y> !broadcom
[05:09] <archmagos> ?
[05:10] <itilious> ugh, it just hangs on "connected to localhost 5901" anyone with any ideas why ssh wont forward VNC traffic?
[05:11] <codex84> tryying to connect to the vnc server
[05:11] <codex84> keep saying connection closed
[05:11] <Jygen> updating takes forever
[05:11] <itilious> i can connect to the vnc server thru local network AND public ip, but neither thru ssl
[05:12] <itilious> *ssh
[05:12] <itilious> i've tried every guide i can find on the topic and nothing seems to work
[05:24] <mickster04> izinucs: well then your ssh server isn't running
[05:24] <mickster04> izinucs: oops
[05:29] <Jygen> does anyone on here play tremulous
[05:32] <jdavis> I am trying to get a scanner to work, but it's attached to my network. Where do I configure SANE to find my scanner?
[05:36] <pentester5746> anyone use zentyal
[05:40] <danial> anyone has mastered gnome3 yet?
[05:40] <test000> danial, mastered?
[05:41] <danial> test000, I'm trying to change the theme, I can't figure out the window manager
[05:41] <test000> mdadm: no recogniseable superblock on /dev/sda5    yet it mounts fine as mount /dev/sda5  directory      before the reinstall it was one of 2 disks in mirrored raid.
[05:41] <plum> Ben64: are you there?
[05:42] <test000> how does it mount w/o a superblock?
[05:42] <test000> danial,  lol I am considering kde
[05:42] <Ben64> plum: yep
[05:42] <danial> test000, hmmmm me too
[05:42] <psaikrishna> Hello
[05:42] <plum> Ben64: i don't mean to bother you again, but i wanted to let you know i successfully recovered my partition table last night, using testdisk
[05:42] <Jordan_U> test000: Presumeably because it has an extn superblock and not an mdadm superblock.
[05:43] <psaikrishna> I've an issue with Policykitd
[05:43] <Ben64> plum: cool
[05:43] <plum> :)
[05:43] <psaikrishna> it is eating up the memory
[05:43] <psaikrishna> in 10.10 Ubuntu
[05:43] <psaikrishna> I tried lot of Google search, it ended up in a bug at Ubuntu forums
[05:43] <test000> Jordan_U,  it was a mdadm superblock before.. how can I make it one again?
[05:43] <psaikrishna> Can anybody provide a escape from it
[05:44] <plum> Ben64: i was wondering, do you know how to restore the contents of my /boot though? that partition was restored as a linux partition, but doesn't seem to boot anymore
[05:44] <Jordan_U> test000: I don't know, sorry.
[05:44] <test000> :(
[05:44] <Ben64> plum: would have to reinstall grub and kernel(s)
[05:44] <pentester5746> anyone use zentyal?
[05:45] <Jordan_U> plum: By default Ubuntu does not use a separate /boot partition. Are you sure you had one?
[05:45] <mickster04> !anyone | pentester5746
[05:45] <hilarie> !poll
[05:46] <plum> Jordan_U: when i installed ubuntu, i made another ext partition besides my regular ubuntu partition, and i assigned my /boot to that
[05:46] <plum> Ben64: is it possible to reinstall the kernels from a live cd? i've heard it's sort of a paradox because you need /boot to install kernels or something
[05:47] <Jordan_U> plum: Can you run boot info script (from a liveCD) as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[05:47] <danial> what is the latest KDE and how u install it/.
[05:47] <danial> ?
[05:47] <mickster04> !kde
[05:47] <mickster04> danial: good enough?
[05:47] <Jordan_U> plum: That's where the magic of chroot comes in :)
[05:47] <plum> Jordan_U: i don't have my live cd here at the moment, i will save that and try later on :)
[05:48] <danial> mickster04, thanx
[05:48] <Ziber> I'm trying to get Samba to work as a public share on my network, but it still prompts me for a password. What am I doing wrong?
[05:48] <Ziber> Pasting my config right now
[05:49] <mickster04> Ziber: you will want to set guest ok = yes
[05:49] <plum> Jordan_U: chroot will let me re-download my kernels?
[05:49] <mickster04> Ziber: and the folder permissions will have to be correct?
[05:49] <jdavis> I'm trying to get a scanner to work that's on the network. It looks like 6566 is the normal "scanner" port number, but that's closed on the scanning device that I'm using. Any ideas?
[05:49] <jdavis> It's a Brother multi-function device
[05:49] <Ziber> Samba config: http://paste.ziber.org/57285
[05:49] <Ziber> I have guest ok = yes
[05:50] <young> 한글
[05:50] <young> 테스트
[05:50] <young> sorry
[05:50] <Jordan_U> plum: It will let you run commands as if you were booted into your installed system, when you're actually booted from a liveCD.
[05:50] <mickster04> Ziber: as far as i have experienced, samba doesn't like sharing mounted drives as the folders have high permissions
[05:50] <plum> sweeeeet
[05:51] <plum> Jordan_U: thanks for the information :)
[05:51] <Jordan_U> plum: You're welcome :)
[05:51] <Ziber> mickster04: any other network share programs you can recommend which will allow me to do that?
[05:51] <plum> Ben64 and Jordan_U , you guys have been really helpful. probably have each saved my setup at least three times hahaha
[05:52] <Jordan_U> plum: :)
[05:52] <test000> when using mdadm how does it know which drive is the one out of sync and which is the master?
[05:53] <IKSSE> hi what is the terminal command to make sure my graphics drivers are up to date?
[05:54] <IKSSE> or to see what version they are rather
[05:55] <psaikrishna> policykitd eats up memory
[05:55] <psaikrishna> in 10:10
[05:56] <mickster04> Ziber: try using the gui to do it. it might work. but basically i haven't worked out a way of sharing mounted folders :(
[05:56] <mickster04> Ziber: but i haven't tried very hard
[05:56] <mickster04> IKSSE: system>admin>hardware drivers
[05:56] <mickster04> IKSSE: and if you run the update manager before hand you should be fine
[05:56] <izinucs> jdavis: you have to get the drivers and instructions from brother.  It's a pain to install but it works.. I have an MFC 7440n .. scanner works well including the printer function.. faxing can only be done from cli and is cumbersome
[05:57] <izinucs> jdavis: use xsane not simple scanner..
[05:57] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks, question: how can I password-protect access to a folder and/or a program?
[05:57] <Zelozelos> Yerushalmi, use a compression tool would be an easy way
[05:57] <mickster04> Yerushalmi: folders in your home folder are inaccessable except to root users?
[05:57] <Jordan_U> plum: Be sure whatever LiveCD you grab is 64 bit (if your installed system is 64 bit). A 64 bit live system can chroot into either a 32 or 64 bit system. A 32 bit liveCD can only chroot into a 32 bit system.
[05:58] <plum> uh oh
[05:58] <brady> What is portable mp3 player which works with Ubuntu?
[05:58] <plum> i think i installed 32 bit ubuntu on my 64 bit machine though
[05:58] <mickster04> brady: any of them will do
[05:58] <Yerushalmi> Zelozelos: Without having to uncompress it every time I want to use it would be preferable. Just something that prompts you for a password if you try to open the program or the folder.
[05:58] <mickster04> plum: not a major issue
[05:59] <IKSSE> mickster:  i dont have a hardware drivers option in admin and there is nothing in update manager or proprietary drivers.
[05:59] <plum> ah k
[05:59] <mickster04> Yerushalmi: try http://newtoubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/password-protected-folders/
[05:59] <brady> mickster04, I don't think your claim is true.
[05:59] <Zelozelos> Yerushalmi, why would you want a folder to lock from yourself?
[05:59] <mickster04> IKSSE: well then all is up to date
[05:59] <jdavis> izinucs: I think I have the right driver installed, but it doesn't work over the network.
[05:59] <plum> okay guys i gotta go though
[05:59] <plum> i'll find that log text and put it on later
[05:59] <Yerushalmi> Zelozelos: To lock from others who use the computer, obviously :p
[06:00] <izinucs> jdavis: did you get the driver from brother?
[06:00] <mickster04> brady: oh? anything less than 3 years old should be good at least
[06:00] <Zelozelos> Yerushalmi, user accounts?
[06:00] <jdavis> izinucs, yes, I just did   546  dpkg --install /home/jdavis/Downloads/brscan4-0.3.0-2.amd64.deb
[06:00] <IKSSE> mickster04: im trying to see because using java for games is keeping me at ~15fps and 85-90% cpu usage
[06:00] <jdavis> izinucs, and then I do "scanimage -L" and nothing shows up.
[06:01] <mickster04> IKSSE: java isn't hardware accelerated is it?
[06:01] <izinucs> jdavis: you might want to re-read the instructions.. there's typically another file you have to install
[06:01] <Yerushalmi> mickster04: Thanks, that looks like it'll help
[06:01] <jdavis> I put "192.168.1.20" (the printer address) in /etc/sane.d/net.conf
[06:01] <mickster04> Yerushalmi: don't mean to be a douche, but second google result for password protect folder ubuntu
[06:01] <IKSSE> mickster04: not 100% on that. i think it may be a 3D acceleration problem but im not certain
[06:02] <mickster04> IKSSE: i don't think java IS accelarated, meaning it doesn't use graphics cards especially
[06:02] <Yerushalmi> mickster04: Heh. I guess I've become too jaded with actually getting results  through google, the sheer number of times I've had Unique Problems with this computer that needed human insight to solve.
[06:02] <mickster04> IKSSE: flash has only just implemented that in the last couple of releases
[06:03] <jdavis> izinucs, thank you, I am installing the scan key tool now. I ran it, and still no luck, but I'm still poking around.
[06:03] <IKSSE> mickster04: so java will just keep pouding away with straight cpu usage more or less?
[06:03] <bhavesh> This is my boot sequence pic : http://i.imgur.com/A42ln.jpg , I cannot boot from my windows 7 CD it directly loads ubuntu
[06:04] <mickster04> IKSSE: yes
[06:04] <bhavesh> Lights on the DVD drive blink for some time
[06:04] <bhavesh> and it loads ubunut directly
[06:04] <bhavesh> I installed windows from the same drive earlier...
[06:04] <bhavesh> ub ubuntu*
[06:05] <mickster04> right guys, i'm off home see y'all later
[06:06] <Yerushalmi> quit
[06:06] <Yerushalmi> gah
[06:06] <bhavesh> I even tried boot menu...
[06:06] <cl0se> is your cdrom installed properly?
[06:07] <bhavesh> yes.. actually I have a DVD..
[06:07] <cl0se> this question is not an ubuntu related question, just FYI...
[06:07] <bhavesh> I can open its contents from my ubuntu
[06:07] <cl0se> DVD using IDE or SATA?
[06:07] <bhavesh> huh?
[06:07] <cl0se> what CD are you trying to boot?
[06:07] <bhavesh> windows 7 DVD

[06:34] <Syria> Hello, I bought a usb wireless adapter and it is supported by linux and i have its driver but I don't know how to install it please help me, I have the read me file.
[06:34] <roberto> that maybe its a problem with the MBR
[06:35] <bhavesh> roberto: any way to fix it?
[06:35] <bullgard4> !wireless | Syria
[06:35] <roberto> u got the w7 installation dvd?
[06:36] <Syria> bullgard4 it doesn't include information about installing drivers.
[06:36] <hiexpo> Syria, what wireless card is it
[06:36] <Syria> hiexpo:  Edimax. usb wireless adapter
[06:36] <bhavesh> roberto: yes
[06:37] <bhavesh> robertoL its a UDF-DVD
[06:37] <Syria> hiexpo:  EW-7612 APN Edimax.
[06:37] <hiexpo> Syria, just plug it in and open a terminal and type iwconfig
[06:38] <roberto> whatever basically u should try this
[06:38] <bhavesh> roberto: this?
[06:38] <roberto> boot from the dvd and choose the option of repair
[06:38] <dn4> What happens when the plasmon resonance of the carbon  nanotube antenna matches the surface plasmonic resonance of the  carbon nanotube antenna
[06:38] <roberto> and them
[06:38] <bhavesh> roberto: I cannot boot from dvd
[06:39] <bhavesh> roberto : It directly loads into ubuntu
[06:39] <roberto> and the bios ?
[06:39] <roberto> its ok?
[06:39] <hiexpo> robertf, yes
[06:39] <hiexpo> oops
[06:40] <bhavesh> roberto: my bios : <img src="http://i.imgur.com/A42ln.jpg" title="Hosted by imgur.com" />
[06:40] <bhavesh> roberto: http://i.imgur.com/A42ln.jpg
[06:41] <Syria> hiexpo:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/596397/   please note that I am connected to the internet using wifi on my laptop.
[06:41] <roberto> u just got one dvd or cd unit on ur pc?
[06:42] <bhavesh> roberto: its only one .. it can play both DVD and CD
[06:43] <roberto> u bios can boot from a usb flash drive?
[06:43] <hiexpo> Syria, you got 2 wireless cards connected to dlink on there wlan0 and wlan1
[06:43] <bhavesh> roberto: what?
[06:43] <rob_p> dn4: you get perfect cancelation and theoretically zero radiated emission from the antenna, duh! :)
[06:44] <bhavesh> roberto: O.. but can I use the same file to boot from a USB?
[06:44] <Syria> hiexpo: I will use this usb adapter with my desktop later, so i am trying to install its driver now so I can make an access point of it.
[06:44] <dn4> rob_p: is the antenna a wave and could we even classify such a thing as an antenna ?
[06:44] <rob_p> dn4: Only if it's counterpoise exists
[06:45] <roberto> well there is a way to do it with the dvd of w7 in the usb and the u can boot
[06:45] <hiexpo> Syria, that cd driver you got is for windows   > toss it
[06:45] <dn4> rob_p: How do you conclude theoretically zero radiative emissions exist while the wave resonances match each other even with the interfacing?
[06:45] <roberto> if ur bios can do it of course
[06:45] <bhavesh> roberto: ok ill try that
[06:45] <hiexpo> Syria, use it for a frisbee
[06:45] <Syria> hiexpo:  I have downloaded its linux drivers from their website.
[06:45] <rob_p> dn4: but even then, the rules only apply (loosly) to conventional physics.
[06:45] <roberto> but wat u need its the ms-dos command prompt
[06:46] <roberto> well check this out w8
[06:46] <hiexpo> Syria, what wireless cards you have plugged in now ?
[06:46] <Zeu51> hi
[06:46] <rob_p> dn4: How do I conclude... it's just a, "feeling!"
[06:46] <Syria> hiexpo:  I have the wirelesss which is built in my laptop and the new edimax usb adapter.
[06:46] <rob_p> dn4: Sorry... just talking out my... umm.. ya know! :)
[06:47] <hiexpo> Syria, they are both working
[06:47] <roberto> well
[06:47] <dn4> rob_p: ahh well on that note; I believe you are wrong
[06:47] <rob_p> dn4: Let's save this for another channel and keep it on Ubuntu support though. :)
[06:47] <Syria> hiexpo:  How can I make an access point of that edimax wireless usb adapter? it needs a driver right?
[06:47] <roberto> when u are in the cmd write this two commands
[06:47] <roberto> bootrec /fixmbr
[06:48] <roberto> bootrec /fixboot
[06:48] <rob_p> dn4: Yeah, probably.  But you can't prove it!
[06:48] <roberto> tha is with any kind of windows
[06:48] <bullgard4> Why does not exist the process ssh-agent although the file /usr/bin/ssh-agent exists?
[06:48] <hiexpo> Syria, no it already had the driver for it in ubuntu it is fine get over that it is connected to your dlink now it works
[06:48] <Zeu51> cl0se: hi there
[06:49] <Zeu51> i think i have lotus notes installed
[06:49] <roberto> but as u told me u  go directly with ubuntu and theres should be a way to do it in linux
[06:49] <Zeu51> but when i click on the launcher nothing happens.. i have alreadyrestarted
[06:49] <roberto> as well
[06:49] <Syria> hiexpo: But when i connect the same usb adapter to my desktop nothing happens. :( i can't add or connect to wireless.
[06:49] <hiexpo> Syria, you mean differant computer?
[06:50] <Syria> hiexpo:  Yes but both are working under Ubuntu 10.10 Meerkat.
[06:50] <Syria> hiexpo: And when I turn the wireless off on the laptop that i am using now I get the same result.
[06:51] <hiexpo> Syria, the wireless must be turned on to work
[06:52] <Syria> hiexpo: But when I connect that usb adapter to my desktop which is also running under Ubuntu 10.10 nothing happens.
[06:52] <thumb1040> Zeu51 is lotus notes installed with wine. It doesn't come in the repositories does it?
[06:52] <dn4> rob_p: do not doubt that I can or cannot prove anything for I merely asked a question that very few have even asked or know anything about. For you to answer though is noble and my feelings are different that yos
[06:53] <hiexpo> Syria, ok do the same thing i told you before plug it in and do iwconfig and see the output
[06:54] <Zeu51> thumb1040: nope i donwloaded the trial version and just installed it with the help from cl0se
[06:54] <thumb1040> oh. i see. so you manually installed it then?
[06:55] <Syria> hiexpo:  I am at work now and the desktop is at home I will do that later.
[06:55] <Syria> hiexpo:  Thank you for helping me. :)
[06:55] <rob_p> dn4: Well, if you can prove it, you're far ahead of me or anyone else I know involved in quantum physics.  Anyway, interesting stuff for sure! :)
[06:55] <hiexpo> Syria, no problem and i am usually on here so good luck
[06:56] <dn4> interesting indeed; now I just wish I had the money and people nessary to answer that question
[06:56] <Syria> :)
[06:56] <rob_p> dn4: Don't we all, hehe!
[06:56] <dn4> assuming we all do is a logical fallacy
[06:57]  * dn4 laughs
[06:57] <rob_p> dn4: What...too much credit to human kind?
[06:58] <kesor> i have Urban Terror folder installed in my home map, how can i add an shortcut to the games folder of the run file??????????+?
[06:58] <rob_p> dn4: Yeah, you're right.  I should have said, "We all should."
[06:58] <drzaius12> Does anyone know if it is possible to install a 2.6.35 version kernel in Natty/11.04?
[06:59] <rww> drzaius12 : #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks!
[06:59] <dn4> rob_p: that is a bit more idealistic and my fingers smell like tuna fish; FML
[06:59] <drzaius12> Sorry. Thank you.
[06:59] <rww> dn4, rob_p: try #ubuntu-offtopic ;P
[06:59] <kesor> i have Urban Terror folder installed in my home map, how can i add an shortcut to the games folder of the run file??????????+?
[06:59] <cl0se> Zeu51, how'd it go?
[07:00] <dn4> rww: we are already there; oh wait this is #ubuntu I will helpz the masses
[07:00] <dn4> kesor: right click said icon for game and create shortcut
[07:00] <kesor> dn4: and how do i add it to the Games folder?
[07:01] <dn4> hmm this is tricky but you can go to the menu right click it
[07:01] <dn4> then you get options right
[07:01] <dn4> hmm isn't there a command for ubuntu to where youc an update your entire applications menu in the top left
[07:01] <dn4> like updatedb
[07:03] <thumb1040> Hey guys, I've been trying to figure out an elegant way to move some directories around in bash. For instance here are the file/directory names that I'm working with right now: http://pastebin.com/P0T5bu9V Anybody have an Idea how I could move everything except "alt" into the directory by the name of "directory"?
[07:03] <kesor> dn4: nope
[07:03] <kesor> where is the Games folder located ?
[07:04] <cl0se> mv * directory | mv directory/alt .
[07:04] <Zeu51> cl0se:  didnt work
[07:04] <cl0se> :P
[07:04] <Zeu51> after installing lotus notes, i cannot get it to run
[07:04] <Zeu51> weird
[07:04] <cl0se> what's the error?
[07:04] <Zeu51> cl0se: no error. simply nothing happened
[07:04] <cl0se> go into a command prompt
[07:05] <cl0se> type the lotus notes command
[07:05] <Zeu51> i see a launcher for lotus notes tho
[07:05] <cl0se> tell me if there is an error then.
[07:05] <Zeu51> cl0se: gimme some time.. i am checking for the command
[07:05] <codex84> wanna tranfer a video from my virtual machine useing windows 7
[07:05] <codex84> to my ubuntu
[07:05] <codex84> ?
[07:06] <thumb1040> cl0se what are you piping to the second mv command?
[07:06] <bahamas> hello. i'm upgrading to ubuntu 9.10 and there's a prompt saying that if i don't have universe enabled certain packages are going to be removed
[07:06] <Iimitk> which is more reliable, add users one wants to be able to run as root to the 'sudo' or the 'admin' group?
[07:06] <pfifo> thumb1040, i would use a combination of ls, sed and grep to make a shell script
[07:07] <_genuser_> hello people
[07:07] <bahamas> however, looking at /etc/apt/sources.list i see that the line referring to universe is commented because of the upgrade. how do i need to proceed so i can keep my packages?
[07:07] <roberto> hi
[07:07] <_genuser_> anybody here using using luks on netbuntu?
[07:07] <_genuser_> *LUKS
[07:08] <thumb1040> pfifo: isn't grep for searching the contents of files? don't i need to do an operation on the file names themselves?
[07:10] <taglass> thumb1040: grep is for searching any stream
[07:10] <taglass> thumb1040: like say input from a pipe
[07:10] <pfifo> thumb1040, ls|grep -v directory| grep -v alt| sed 's/.*/mv & directory/' >> outfile && chmod 0777 outfile
[07:11] <pfifo> thumb1040, but dont blame me if it dosent work right, better test it first
[07:11] <bahamas> anyone?
[07:11] <axscode> http://images.maplin.co.uk/300/A58JQ.jpg  <-- i have this cable, but i dont have an soundcard, so i want to output sound from usb going to my stereo-in.
[07:12] <thumb1040> pfifo: ok. leme work on that
[07:12] <rob_p> thumb1040: ...another approach:  for i in `ls ./ | egrep -v 'directory|alt'`; do mv $i ./directory; done
[07:12] <bazhang> bahamas, edit it by removing the # in front of it and apt-get update again
[07:12] <pfifo> thumb1040, sometime strings and xargs help too
[07:13] <bahamas> bazhang: ok, i'll need to cancel my upgrade for now, because i'm passed that point. i thought that it was going to offer me a choice whether to remove them or not
[07:17] <thumb1040> pfifo: hey what's the proper syntax to see what I get from ls|grep -v directory         ? Would that be something like ls|grep -v directory|echo      ?
[07:19] <pfifo> thumb1040, just dont pipe the last command to a file, this part ">> outfile"
[07:22] <fennng> set theme clean
[07:25] <ben42> hi, my screenset doesn't turn off automaticaly, i set up the screensaver @ 10min and "put display on sleep" @15, what did i missed?
[07:25] <ooxi> hi i have extreme io problems with my ubuntu desktop. whenever i do an svn *something* it takes like ages and while one cpu is complete idle the other has 100% iowait
[07:25] <ooxi> can somebody give me hints how to debug that?
[07:27] <cache_surplus> ooxi: doesnt sound good
[07:27] <cache_surplus> ooxi: pastebin some errors/logs
[07:28] <ooxi> cache_surplus: where to get the errors?
[07:28] <ooxi> svn does not throw any
[07:28] <ooxi> and it works
[07:28] <ooxi> but is very slow
[07:28] <FloodBot3> ooxi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:29] <cache_surplus> less /var/log/messages, dmesg for starters
[07:29] <cache_surplus> iostat
[07:29] <ooxi> cache_surplus http://paste.ubuntu.com/596411/ <-- iostat
[07:30] <cache_surplus> ooxi: are you on linux?
[07:30] <ooxi> cache_surplus, yes ubuntu linux 8.04
[07:30] <ooxi> nothing special in dmesg (only bootup messages)
[07:30] <cache_surplus> ooxi: did you load iostat or was that default installed
[07:30] <cache_surplus> pastebin your top
[07:30] <cache_surplus> u = root
[07:31] <ooxi> cache_surplus i installed the sysstat package in order to get iostat

[07:31] <cache_surplus> ic
[07:31] <cache_surplus> k
[07:31] <ooxi> yes iostat was run as root

[07:32] <ooxi> cache_surplus, how to copy from top ^^
[07:32] <ooxi> whenever i want to copy it the screen refreshes
[07:32] <orngjce223> Quick, does someone know a command line program that plays stdin to a JACK sink? Nothing fancy
[07:32] <WhiteD> cache_surplus: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[07:33] <WhiteD> I have a problem with my window manager in GNOME
[07:33] <orngjce223> *as a JACK source, sorry
[07:33] <rob_p> ooxi: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[07:33] <ooxi> rob_p, 8.04
[07:34] <Sonicadvance1> so, xdg-screensaver makes the screen flicker in my dual monitor setup with Nvidia drivers, anyone know why? Ubuntu 10.10 :D
[07:34] <ooxi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/596412/ <-- rob_p, cache_surplus top of my user
[07:34] <Sonicadvance1> arguments xdg-screensaver suspend <id>
[07:35] <cache_surplus> is sadc enabled? in sysstat conf?
[07:35] <ooxi> cache_surplus, don't know i'll have to look it up, will take a sec
[07:35] <cache_surplus> ooxi: your load is 7.X!!!
[07:35] <cache_surplus> my gawd
[07:35] <rob_p> ooxi: There's a known issue with high iowait time with *some* of those older kernels around the time of 8.04 and 9.1.
[07:35] <ooxi> cache_surplus only svn update running
[07:35] <cache_surplus> what are you doing, whats your top and ps -aux like?
[07:35] <cache_surplus> updating what?
[07:36] <ooxi> cache_surplus, only running svn update on one branch (max 50mib in size)
[07:36] <ooxi> cache_surplus, ps -aux only shows my processes :-(
[07:36] <cache_surplus> ooxi:  ps -aux
[07:37] <cache_surplus> and free
[07:37] <cache_surplus> pastebin all that im asking in one nice neat file ok...
[07:37] <ooxi> cache_surplus http://paste.ubuntu.com/596414/ <-- apache is the svn backend
[07:38] <cache_surplus> your top was not in length
[07:38] <mehmetali> Hi. ksoftirqd/7 always is working. (proccess time is same as uptime)
[07:38] <ooxi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/596415/ cache_surplus <-- free
[07:38] <rob_p> ooxi: Anyhow, you're not the only one to experience that issue.  Have a look here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1322161.html
[07:39] <ooxi> rob_p, hmm but i cannot upgrade :-(
[07:39] <rob_p> ooxi: Maybe a kernel update will fix it.  What kernel are you running?
[07:39] <cache_surplus> what cmd did you use for svn
[07:39] <ooxi> rob_p how to tell?
[07:40] <ooxi> cache_surplus ,,svn update''
[07:40] <rob_p> ooxi: uname -r
[07:40] <ooxi> rob_p 2.6.24-29-generic
[07:41] <rob_p> ooxi: Ok. That is as recent a kernel as you're going to get for 8.04, I believe.
[07:41] <ooxi> rob_p, damn ^^
[07:42] <rob_p> ooxi: I'm afraid you'll either need to compile your own, or upgrade to a later Ubuntu to get later kernels...
[07:42] <ooxi> rob_p do you definitly think it's a kernel issue?
[07:42] <rob_p> ooxi: Still, I'd have thought the issue would have been worked out in 2.6.24-29 kernel. Hmm...
[07:43] <itilious> does having 4 different instances of vino-server running and using up 100% of my cpu between them mean i pretty much have been hacked?
[07:43] <rob_p> ooxi: Not 100%, no.
[07:43] <ooxi> rob_p, it's a dedicated server running on sas drives. i think the io performance should be ok :/
[07:43] <simax2> Hello simax
[07:43] <simax2> hello
[07:44] <aboSamoor> can someone help me with this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/766417 ?
[07:44] <itilious> because i'm not using it and i'm the only one that administers this system
[07:44] <ooxi> itilious, i don't think a hacker would use vino-server ^^
[07:44] <ooxi> but kill the offending processes
[07:46] <galigio_> Hi
[07:46] <itilious> ooxi, i use tightvncserver and xvnc4viewer to view, do i even need vino-server?
[07:46] <rob_p> ooxi: Yeah, you'd think so anyway.  Wish I could be of more help.  Did you read over that URL I gave.  Perhaps there's something in there you can try (mtime options, etc.) to put a bandaid fix in place until you figure out what's causing the problem.
[07:46] <itilious> is it seperate or still needed?
[07:47] <ooxi> rob_p, yes thanks for the link. i've already told the admin to enable noatime mount option
[07:47] <ooxi> itilious, no, probably not
[07:49] <rob_p> ooxi: Good luck with it.  I'm glad my 8.04 system hasn't seen that issue!  Mine is using 4 SATA drives in raid1 so its not the same configuration as yours.
[07:50] <rob_p> ooxi: ...and mine is running the server kernel...
[07:52] <ooxi> rob_p, am i not running the server kernel?
[07:52] <kippi> hey
[07:52] <rob_p> ooxi: You're running generic.
[07:53] <ooxi> rob_p ah ok. can i swap the kernel without pain?
[07:53] <raven_> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[07:54] <kippi> I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 it was working great, upgrade went really well. I did the normal updates yesterday and now it's getting stuck on the ubuntu loading screen. If I load into recovery i am unable to select any of the options, could someone help.
[07:55] <rob_p> ooxi: You're on a desktop system, right?  Anyway, you *should* be able to run the server kernel on it but I've not tried migrating to a server kernel after the fact, at least on a desktop system.
[07:55] <ooxi> rob_p, no it's a headless server my company uses for development
[07:56] <raven_> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[07:56] <rob_p> ooxi: Well, first get the blessing of those who matter, and then give it a try.  Just don't uninstall your current kernel so that you can go back to it if you need.
[07:56] <ooxi> rob_p, ok thanks :-)
[07:57] <rob_p> ooxi: welcome, good luck! :)
[07:59] <gamla_kossan> hi people, what wm will 11.04 run?
[07:59] <gamla_kossan> (by default)
[08:00] <rww> gamla_kossan: Compiz
[08:00] <gamla_kossan> rww: that's.. not really a wm :)
[08:00] <rww> gamla_kossan: Yes it is.
[08:00] <rww> gamla_kossan: The answer to the question you meant to ask is Unity.
[08:01] <gamla_kossan> rww: oh? could you elaborate?
[08:02] <raven_> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[08:03] <rww> gamla_kossan: By default, Ubuntu 11.04 will run Unity as a shell, which requires Compiz as a window manager, and GNOME 2 as a desktop environment.
[08:03] <gamla_kossan> rww: wow, that's.. confusing :)
[08:04] <mulp> hey Ben64
[08:04] <rww> gamla_kossan: by comparison, Ubuntu 10.10 uses gnome-panel as a shell, Compiz as a window manager, and GNOME 2 as a desktop environment. Upstream GNOME 3 uses gnome-shell as a shell, mutter as a window manager, and GNOME 3 as desktop environment.
[08:04] <mulp> it's plum
[08:04] <Ben64> hi
[08:05] <mulp> i'm in a live cd right now, would you be able to help me to get my /boot partition back?
[08:05] <Ben64> kinda busy : /
[08:05] <yuskhanzab> hello all, gd evening :)
[08:05] <gamla_kossan> rww: interesting, I obviously need to read up on this. thanks!
[08:06] <mulp> ah okay
[08:08] <MarGarina> I have an ancient Interpid Ubuntu which I'd like to upgrade, but I cannot even do apt-get update, because all interpid mirrors seems to be removed
[08:08] <mulp> Jordan_U: i got that boot info script's results if you would like to see them
[08:08] <MarGarina> do-release-upgrade fails because it doesn't know about new releases
[08:08] <MarGarina> any idea how can I upgrade either way?
[08:08] <Jordan_U> mulp: Sure.
[08:09] <Ben64> MarGarina: try a cd
[08:09] <MarGarina> What about just replacing the sources.list lines to jaunty and doing apt-get upgrade, would it be stupid?
[08:09] <Ben64> yes
[08:10] <Jordan_U> mulp: I'll be away for a few minutes though.
[08:10] <mulp> ah okay
[08:10] <mulp> Jordan_U: here is the info though: http://pastebin.com/q5AUpTGk
[08:10] <Ben64> MarGarina: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[08:11] <llutz_> MarGarina: jaunty is outdated too, makes no sense to upgrade to
[08:11] <MarGarina> ben64: awesome, looks like what I need! thanks
[08:11] <Ben64> google is your friend
[08:13] <gaelfx> In the SMART status portion of Disk Utility, what do all the different values mean? I see Normalized, Worst, Threshold and Value, but I don't understand what they're trying to really tell me
[08:13] <zetsu> hello?
[08:14] <gamla_kossan> zetsu: myes?
[08:14] <zetsu> is it being calm here today?
[08:14] <gaelfx> to borrow from BC, that depends what the meaning of 'calm' is
[08:14] <mulp> brb
[08:15] <zetsu> oh, well, this is not really ubuntu-related that much but maybe point me out to a better channel if you can think of something
[08:16] <Gurke__> hi
[08:16] <Gurke__> i need help
[08:16] <llutz_> gaelfx: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.
[08:16] <van7hu> Gurke__: I need help
[08:17] <LLStarks> hi, i can't get tty anymore. not through recovery boot or ctrl+alt+fn.
[08:17] <zetsu> but I was trying to figure out what would be a lightweight-ish distro for older computers, and also easy to use
[08:17] <zetsu> and relatively easy to install and set up, as I'd be installing it 1-3 times a day
[08:18] <zetsu> would there be any better place to ask for that?*
[08:19] <gamla_kossan> zetsu: maybe you could look into fluxbuntu and kickstart installing
[08:19] <High_Priest> zetsu, what do you want to do with it? what are the requirements ?
[08:19] <zetsu> umm, to put it on older used computers
[08:19] <zetsu> 1,5ish ghz and up
[08:19] <zetsu> 256mb ram
[08:19] <zetsu> not like, dead ancient but old
[08:20] <gamla_kossan> well, I should do some work, so long suckers :)
[08:20] <zetsu> quick-ish to set up, easy to use, pretty light
[08:20] <zetsu> for random people
[08:20] <zetsu> internetz, basic everyday use
[08:20] <zetsu> word process maybe, etc. etc.
[08:21] <[deXter]> zetsu: Puppy linux or puppy based distros ould be a good choice
[08:21] <[deXter]> zetsu: I would recommend TurboPup.. it uses like 10MB of RAM and runs a modern X.Org server.. you can run all your usual apps and stuff
[08:22] <zetsu> puppies are nice but are they that fitting for people who have never touched linux
[08:22] <[deXter]> Yeah I've loaded puppy on quite a few old machines for people who never heard of linux
[08:22] <kardiel> Ive just added a modeline 1280x1024 through xrandr. How can i save it so when i reboot its 1280x1024 resolution?
[08:22] <[deXter]> zetsu: In my experience the problem I've had is not with the newbies but with the techies
[08:23] <zetsu> deXter: how so?
[08:23] <[deXter]> zetsu: because the techies have some obscure windows program/scripts that they're used to and want it to use in Linux.. all the newbies basically use the internet and word
[08:23] <zetsu> hmm.
[08:23] <zetsu> true
[08:24] <[deXter]> zetsu: for the newbies all I do is put aptly named shortcuts "Internet", "Word", "Chat" and they're good to go.
[08:24] <[deXter]> If there are  further issues and I don't mind helping them out
[08:24] <llutz_> zetsu: the distro isn't the problem with 256MB, the apps are. Using bloated stuff like openoffice, firefox etc. makes working no fun
[08:24] <zetsu> yeah
[08:25] <josvuk> Hi, what ubuntu version to use with iBook 500 it has a powerpc cpu with 500MHz. Can someone point me to the download site?
[08:25] <LLStarks> anyone? i have zero tty access and can only boot to x.
[08:25] <zetsu> but even something not so light like xubuntu ran alright on a 256ram machine
[08:25] <zetsu> with firefox too
[08:25] <zetsu> at least firefox 4
[08:25] <SoulPropagation2> josvuk: powerpc
[08:25] <rww> !ppc
[08:25] <zetsu> didn't try 3.6 or whatever
[08:25] <[deXter]> Well, Lubuntu itself uses like around like 128 MB RAM, so there isn't much left for heavy apps
[08:26] <zetsu> yeah...maybe I should check on some other puppies
[08:26] <stimpie> LLStarks: I had something similar
[08:27] <zetsu> what about just some xfce distro? is the mint xfce any good?
[08:27] <kardiel> how can i install firefox 4? ive tried with adding ppa source but it wont work
[08:27] <SoulPropagation2> how can I block access to writing to /stuff/usb hard drive/ unless /dev/usb hard drive is actually mounted?
[08:27] <stimpie> LLStarks: I had to install startup manager and change the boot display resolution
[08:27] <[deXter]> zetsu: IIRC the xfce version is just a bit more heavier than the LXDE one..
[08:27] <thevishy> i am not seeing the resolutio in my moitor
[08:28] <stimpie> LLStarks: ofcours that could be solved without startup manager (but I dont know  how exactly)
[08:28] <zetsu> deXter: haven't tried LXDE, I think I heard it's kind of unusual?
[08:29] <[deXter]> Eh, not at all
[08:29] <SoulPropagation2> there's some xorg config program. I don't remember the name but it's like xorg-setup or something along those lines
[08:29] <zetsu> deXter: the user interface, I mean
[08:29] <llutz_> zetsu: xfce is not really lightweight anymore
[08:29] <GCrab> Can I use my apple IR Remote controller with Ubuntu, Moveida application?
[08:29] <[deXter]> Nah, LXDE is all good.. looks a lot like gnome at first glance
[08:29] <thevishy> I am connecting my comp to a LCD but cat see th cimesion
[08:29] <zetsu> deXter: hm, then perhaps I should give LXDE a try, have been meaning to check it out anyways
[08:29] <SoulPropagation2> cimesion?
[08:30] <zetsu> wasn't there fedora LXDE spin?
[08:30] <[deXter]> yep
[08:30] <iceroot> zetsu: ask fedora
[08:30] <SoulPropagation2> have you tried the netbook remix (forget the precise name)?
[08:30] <SoulPropagation2> of course that might still be tuned for 1gb
[08:31] <zetsu> SoulPropaganation2: netbook remix of what?
[08:31] <zetsu> I like fedora, maybe I should give the LXDE spin a try
[08:31] <zetsu> and check on some puppies
[08:31] <SoulPropagation2> zetsu: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook
[08:32] <thevishy> folks how can I see see  display resolution more tha 800 * 640
[08:32] <zetsu> but I kind of didn't consider puppies because they are very very light
[08:32] <zetsu> but then again, how is that a bad thing
[08:32] <GCrab> exit
[08:32] <Gurke__> hi
[08:32] <Gurke__> i need help
[08:33] <zetsu> and about the ubuntu netbook, isn't it just ubuntu with a bit tweaked look/gui to fit small screen?
[08:33] <thevishy> zetsu its ubuntu unity gui I persoally like old gnome
[08:34] <zetsu> thevishy: oh...haven't been on ubuntu in a long time, been thinking about giving it a go again, maybe when natty gets out (is it already?)
[08:35] <valium> clear
[08:35] <zetsu> but alright, thank you for the thoughts people
[08:35] <thevishy> !natty
[08:35] <Gurke__> hi
[08:35] <Gurke__> i need help
[08:35] <zetsu> oh it's beta..
[08:36] <Charles_X> howdy
[08:36] <thevishy> how can I see more resolution for my monitor ?
[08:36] <Gurke__> i need help
[08:36] <thevishy> i am just seeing 800 * 640 and 640 * ...
[08:36] <Gurke__> i need help
[08:36] <DJones> !ask | Gurke__
[08:37] <thevishy> I have connected netbook to a lcd via VGA cable
[08:37] <susundberg> thevishy: do you see both monitors there
[08:37] <rypervenche> I just bought a 1TB external HDD and used fdisk to format it to ext4. Now it shows that 46.8GB are used already. Isn't that a lot? What could be causing this? http://ryper.no-ip.org/Pictures/HDD.png
[08:37] <susundberg> you might need to toggle of the 'mirror image' or what is it called -- the feature that sets same picture on both monitors
[08:38] <susundberg> thevishy: i usually turn off laptop monitor and set external monitor with higher resolution
[08:38] <thevishy> but how do I do that ?
[08:38] <thevishy> I ca see the mirrorig is on
[08:38] <susundberg> thevishy: it should be on display settings afaik, i am currently using KDE so i cannot give direct advices ..
[08:39] <DJones> rypervenche: From memory, I was under the impression that when a disk is formatted, a percentage (I think 5%) is reserved for system use, sounds like it could be that that has used the 46.8Gb
[08:40] <zetsu> rypervenche: as DJones said, a persentage of any disk is reserved for system use or something like that
[08:40] <susundberg> thevishy: this might be helpfull: http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/goscustdesk-70.html.en
[08:40] <bessarabov> join #dancer
[08:41] <susundberg> huh
[08:41] <zetsu> rypervenche: not sure if there is differences in ntfs and ext
[08:41] <Arcas> whois Arcas
[08:41] <susundberg> zetsu, rypervenche : http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1340874
[08:42] <thevishy> thanks susundberg  its working now
[08:42] <[deXter]> rypervenche: That's normal; the higher the drive the higher the wastage of space
[08:42] <susundberg> thevishy: np!
[08:42] <DJones> rypervenche: If you look at the "Gain Just a Bit of Space" section near the bottom of this link, it explains why and gives a suggestion using tune2fs to reduce the reserved space https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace
[08:43] <SoulPropagation2> anyone know how to make a mount point not writable to unless that point is mounted? otherwise my other computer tries to run its backup to the internal hard drive which doesn't have room
[08:43] <kesor> how do i install wireshark-1.4.6.tar.bz2
[08:43] <mateobur> I'm trying to read the cyphered /home
[08:43] <mateobur> I know the password
[08:43] <zetsu> susundberg: thanks, informational link
[08:44] <mateobur> but the specified command doesnt work
[08:44] <valium> kesor - tar -xjf foo.tar.bz2
[08:44] <rypervenche> [deXter]: DJones: Thank you. Also is this message bad? http://pastebin.com/CNwd7XDj
[08:44] <kesor> what valium?
[08:44] <valium> kesor - then take a look at the docs included inside
[08:45] <kesor> what are u trying to say?
[08:45] <valium> kesor - didnt you just ask how to install the wireshark package?
[08:45] <DJones> rypervenche: I'm not sure about the error message, its not something I've come across
[08:45] <kesor> valium: yes, but what are u saying? is that commands?
[08:45] <kesor> dident work
[08:46] <valium> kesor - hmmmm ... you may need to try a simpler way.  find the package $sudo apt-cache search wireshark
[08:46] <rypervenche> DJones: Ok, thank you. I'll look into into it then.
[08:47] <allorder> kesor: or just go back in windows, better for you
[08:47] <valium> kesor - Then install the package based on the name that was presented.... which looks like its this.   $ sudo aptitude install wireshark-common
[08:47] <valium> allorder - give him a go.
[08:47] <[deXter]> rypervenche: You did unmount it before running it, right? If the drive is empty you could try formatting it again.
[08:48] <valium> kesor - if you are struggling with installing packages then you may be punching above your weight with wireshark
[08:49] <rypervenche> [deXter]: I did. It works fine when I use /dev/sdb1 and not /dev/sdb. Is that just a mistake on my end? I'm not sure if it should give me proper results for both inputs.
[08:49] <moh4m3d> #linuxac.org
[08:49] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Aha, yeah it should be /sdb1
[08:49] <[deXter]> rypervenche: /sdb refers to the entire device: It doesn't describe a filesystem/partition in particular
[08:50] <rypervenche> [deXter]: Ahh, I see. Thank you very much. :)
[08:50] <valium> kesor - proper usage of wireshark has a high 'geek' factor.
[08:50] <zah> does it though
[08:50] <rypervenche> [deXter]: This is my first time formatting an external hard drive and I chose to do it using fdisk as well. :P
[08:51] <zah> question for wireshark users, is it just tcpdump with bells and whistles?
[08:51] <llutz_> zah: kinda
[08:51] <zah> i get what I need out of tcpdump filtering and grep
[08:51] <zah> do i really need a clunky gui
[08:51] <valium> zah - yeah but he is struggling with apt-get
[08:52] <zah> oh i cut in halfway
[08:52] <zah> i was actually thinking about getting wireshark the other day
[08:52] <edwinkcw> how to disable screen saver automatically when I was watching youtube or movie?
[08:52] <zah> but im wondering if it would be best to just master tcpdump
[08:52] <zah> since its included with most distros anyways
[08:53] <kesor> how do i install GTK?
[08:54] <valium> zah - i havent had much use for it.  I use it occassionally when I am trying to hunt down bandwidth hogs and things that might be causing broadcast storms
[08:54] <osxfr33k> !!
[08:54] <allorder> kesor: google a bit
[08:54] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Congrats; and good choice on ext4.. I wish I could use it too.
[08:55] <valium> kesor - you gotta help yourself a little dude -- ask a considered question and then you'll get help.  Its not the spoon feed channel
[08:56] <allorder> +1

[08:59] <hgeldenhuys> on my ubuntu I'm running 2 identical Python executables, except for their interpreter paths. the 1 executes a URL post perfectly, the other one gives me a 503 Error response. Exactly the same code, 2 different python interpreters. what am I missing?
[09:00] <ejv> hgeldenhuys: possibly a question for #python ?
[09:00] <ikonia> hgeldenhuys: how can they be identical if they are in two different locations ?
[09:00] <valium> although that is an interesting question
[09:00] <hgeldenhuys> ikonia their code is identical
[09:00] <hgeldenhuys> ejv, cool
[09:00] <bubbles|> hi
[09:00] <SoulPropagation2> ikonia: if you have two cans of beer, they're the same thing even if one's in a different fridge
[09:01] <bubbles|> what's the equivalent of /sbin/chkconfig --list on ubuntu?
[09:01] <ikonia> hgeldenhuys: are they the ubuntu packaged python versions ?
[09:01] <ikonia> SoulPropagation2: sorry, that's not how it works, more so if something is statcially linked
[09:01] <tsyj2007> Hello
[09:01] <allorder> http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rbeqbj-n1Z0/Skeak1qBGyI/AAAAAAAAAeM/3k_ntrDWmOw/s1600-h/ubuntu.png
[09:01] <ikonia> allorder: any reason your posting that in a support channel ?
[09:01] <rypervenche> [deXter]: I'm going all out with Linux :)
[09:02] <valium> bubblesj - you can install a tool which will give you the rpm system style chkconfig management
[09:02] <valium> bubblesj - ill find it for you one sec.
[09:02] <hgeldenhuys> ikonia the one python executable is yes
[09:02] <allorder> ikonia: wrong window

[09:02] <lhjlxa> hi
[09:02] <selig5> acc
[09:03] <ikonia> hgeldenhuys: that can't be, as the ubuntu package would not install to different locations
[09:03] <Seven_Six_Two> I'm writing a script to rename files "unpapered-###.pgm" to "ocr-###.odt" as a variable to pass another command. What have I done wrong?   http://pastebin.com/FLewbdVv
[09:03] <scoundrel50a> hi, I was doing an update earlier, Maverick 10.10 and this appeared and wont go away. I have tried changing servers, but that doesnrt help. Anybody know how to get rid? http://imgur.com/KeGOe
[09:04] <ikonia> Seven_Six_Two: try in ##bash
[09:05] <valium> bubblesj - the tool you actually want to use is called update-rc.d .  but there is a chkconfig style replacement tool for people who are used to RPM based systems
[09:05] <rypervenche> [deXter]: Oh, and another quick question. In that picture, (http://ryper.no-ip.org/Pictures/HDD.png) it shows my HDD's capacity at 916.9GB. Hasn't the partition space already been accounted for? Why would another 46.8GB be removed?
[09:06] <bubbles|> what's the equivalent of /sbin/chkconfig --list on ubuntu?
[09:06] <valium> bubblesj - just trying to find it
[09:06] <raven_> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[09:06] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Blame the HDD manufacturers for that
[09:07] <[deXter]> rypervenche: HDD manufacturers think 1MB = 1000 KB , but we all know it's 1024 KB
[09:07] <llutz_> rypervenche: 5% root-reserved?
[09:07] <[deXter]> rypervenche: So in the early days it didn't matter as HDD capacities were low; but as MBs became GBs and GBs became TBs, obviously the disparity increased.
[09:07] <ejv> i still love the newegg drive reviews of noobs complaining they were misled when the reported size is 'lower than expected'... *facepalms*
[09:08] <raven_> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[09:08] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Which is why there's a new unit or rather, the official term for the correct unit is MiB / GiB / TiB
[09:08] <valium> bubblesj - its a tool called sysv-rc-conf .... go here to find out more.... http://sysv-rc-conf.sourceforge.net/
[09:08] <zeleftikam> ubunut!
[09:08] <valium> bubblesj - sudo aptitude install sysv-rc-conf
[09:08] <[deXter]> rypervenche: More reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Disk_drives
[09:08] <bubbles|> thanks valeriup
[09:09] <bubbles|> *thanks valium
[09:09] <rypervenche> [deXter]: But wouldn't that be backwards then? Shouldn't I have more than 1000GB then?
[09:09] <ejv> was that really necessary ikonia lol...
[09:09] <SoulPropagation2> I have a computer set to network backup to a USB hard drive. When the drive isn't plugged in, it still backs up to the folder that the hard drive mounts to. How can I make it stop doing that?
[09:09] <llutz_> rypervenche: sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdXY | grep Reserved          change sdXY to your drive
[09:09] <ejv> he didn't appear to be disruptive...
[09:09] <[deXter]> rypervenche: No, 1TB = 1024GB, but the HDD manufacturers only put in 1000GB
[09:10] <llutz_> SoulPropagation2: sudo chmod 000 /backupfolder
[09:10] <valium> SoulPropagation2 - do a check to make sure the block device is present
[09:10] <llutz_> SoulPropagation2: when drive is NOT mounted
[09:10] <valium> llutz - even simplier ...nice one
[09:11] <cavej03> ..
[09:11] <daedaluz> 10.10 loses wlan connection from time to time on T60
[09:11] <rypervenche> [deXter]: Ahhhh
[09:11] <rypervenche> llutz_: http://pastebin.com/T88bSzc7
[09:11] <daedaluz> doing sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo ifconfig wlan0 up doesn't help
[09:11] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Actually again that 1000GB is just rounding off, if you calculate the actual binary bytes it comes to 931.32 GB
[09:12] <llutz_> rypervenche: if that fs just contains data, set reserved space to 0 (tune2fs -m0)
[09:12] <SoulPropagation2> llutz how can I make that persistent? chmod 000 /mnt/usb and add rw to options in fstab?
[09:13] <llutz_> SoulPropagation2:it is persistant if you're not deleting/creating that dir randomly
[09:13] <bubbles|> where do i find sysv-rc on ubuntu?
[09:13] <Antonis> In ubuntu how do I access a help document that I have installed? Let's say I have installed package-doc how do I open this specific doc file?
[09:13] <damno> anybody knows how to make the compiz boxmenu work?
[09:14] <rypervenche> llutz_: Do I need to input my /dev/sdb1 in the command as well?
[09:14] <llutz_> rypervenche: sure
[09:14] <SoulPropagation2> llutz_: thanks, will let you know how it goes
[09:14] <llutz_> SoulPropagation2: when mounting the drive, permissions of the folder will change to let you write. it changes back to 000 when umounting
[09:15] <damno> anybody knows how to make the compiz-boxmenu work?
[09:16] <valium> Lluts - alternatively you could put the backups into a subdirectory that is only seen when the disk is mounted then test with: somthing like: directory="/media/usb0/daily"    if [ -d "$DESTINATION" ]
[09:16] <valium> lluts sory that shoudl say DESTINATION not directory
[09:16] <llutz_> valium: i'd prefer using an udev-rule, starting the backup when the ext-drive is plugged in
[09:17] <solars> hey, does anyone know why dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config does not open a dialog in 10.10?
[09:17] <solars> I am not able to install artwiz fonts in 10.10
[09:17] <valium> llutz - isnt the usb drive plugged into a remote LAN system?
[09:17] <rypervenche> llutz_: That fixed it! Thank you :D
[09:17] <llutz_> valium: as usual: lots of ways
[09:18] <valium> llutz - i do like the simplicity of the 000 method.  very nice indeed.
[09:18] <llutz_> valium: "network backup to USB harddisk"
[09:21] <cavej03> can anyone help me with LIRC
[09:21] <allorder> cavej03: like everywhere don't ask to ask just ask
[09:22] <llutz_> rypervenche: that happens whenever you create a ext2/3/4 fs, since those stupid 5% are reserved by default. you can use mkfs.ext4 -m0 to prevent it (or tune2fs later). that reserved space makes only sense for / or /tmp + /var

[09:35] <Gurke___> 10.04 or 10.10 ?
[09:36] <llutz_> SoulPropagation2: so /mnt/usb isn't your backup-dir? if /mnt/usb is 000, you cannot wrote to any dir inside

[09:38] <[deXter]> zetsu: and join #linuxmint-chat
[09:38] <zetsu> deXter: thankyou
[09:39] <valium> chegibari - only way that i can think of doing that is by making your own local repository and syncing it each time you are connected
[09:39] <Gurke___> 10.04 or 10.10 ? not SURE
[09:39] <allorder> Gurke_: think
[09:40] <Gurke___> WHAT should i install
[09:40] <allorder> Gurke_: or ask
[09:40] <allorder> Gurke_: ask why
[09:40] <allorder> Gurke_: why you think so much, why not 10.10
[09:41] <Gurke___> ok
[09:44] <valerauko> hey people
[09:45] <valerauko> could someone help me with pppoe dsl problems on 10.10?
[09:45] <allorder> valerauko: as always, 1 line for 1 question, dont ask to ask
[09:46] <Gurke___> !ask | velrauko
[09:46] <allorder> +1
[09:46] <yehudah> how can you change the icon size of the launcher
[09:47] <allorder> !ask | yehudah
[09:47] <zhongjia_> aa
[09:47] <matteppii> How can i mesaure how many data is tranfer do single ip, in a single port?
[09:48] <mynameistux> I asked this once before, but I want to check again becasue I don't have enough HDD space to do a backup
[09:48] <valerauko> PPPoE DSL, a japanese provider. I don't really know what the problem is myself. With default settings, it works for most cases, but at certain FTP and most secure hosts (be that HTTP or FTP) it doesn't connect or times out. It works all right with windows with default settings.
[09:48] <mynameistux> wait, I need the server channel, sorry
[09:48] <allorder> mynameistux: ask your question in one line
[09:51] <mynameistux> it's alright, I was in the wrong channel, I moved to the correct one
[09:51] <valerauko> yehudah, right click on the panel, settings (or properties, i'm not using english) and you can set the size there
[09:52] <yehudah> right click has no effect
[09:53] <valerauko> that's strange, right click on the panels should bring up at least some kind of menu
[09:54] <matteppii> How can i mesaure how many data is tranfered to single ip, in a single port?
[09:54] <_raven> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[09:55] <dm_> 大家好，请问一个问题：我在virtual box 里面装red hat虚拟机，但是总是在硬盘格式化的时候失败，求指教
[09:56] <dm_> 我在装windows的时候没问题的
[09:56] <valerauko> _raven can you use the drawing board as a pointing device?
[09:56] <Kimmen> !cn | dm_
[09:56] <_raven> valerauko, yes
[09:57] <administrator_> hello
[09:57] <valerauko> it could be disabling the mouse automatically, i had similar problems with my old laptop's touchpad
[09:57] <administrator_> have you use Ubuntu?
[09:59] <niteshade> how do i completely kill the keyring manager?  It keeps asking me for a password that i don't know (since i don't even remember setting it) and then restricting programs just because i said "cancel."  I want it gone.  Completely and totally GONE!!!!
[09:59] <Widow> Gday guys
[09:59] <progre55> hi guys. are there any tools to merge several pdf/jpg files together? other than inserting them into an open office word document and exporting as pdf =)
[10:00] <Gurke___> 10.04 or 10.10 ? not SURE
[10:00] <Gurke___> WHAT should i install
[10:00] <dm_> 我用的是ubuntu10.10
[10:00] <psycho_oreos> you have asked that several times Gurke___
[10:00] <niteshade> anyone know how to get rid of keyring manager?
[10:01] <Gurke___> what was the answer
[10:01] <xskydevilx> Is there a way to restore the nautilus file manager to the original (default) state?
[10:01] <progre55> Gurke___: depends on what you need it for
[10:01] <lugkhast> Gurke___: Personally, I go with the latest version available unless my hardware has an issue with it
[10:02] <progre55> Gurke___: if it's a server, and want long term support, go with 10.04, if for your pc, 10.10
[10:02] <niteshade> the newer the distro, the more secure, and up-to-date your system will be.
[10:02] <bullgard4> What command-line command determines the currently used desktop environment?
[10:03] <niteshade> bullgard4: go into the login screen, and when it prompts for the password, look in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
[10:03] <llutz_> bullgard4: echo $DESKTOP_SESSION            (not sure)
[10:04] <mynameistux> progre55
[10:04] <mynameistux> I know of a program that does that
[10:04] <mynameistux> posteRazor
[10:04] <niteshade> how do i completely kill the keyring manager?  It keeps asking me for a password that i don't know (since i don't even remember setting it) and then restricting programs just because i said "cancel."  I want it gone.  Completely and totally GONE!!!!
[10:04] <progre55> mynameistux: what's that?
[10:04] <ooxi> hi is it possible to remount / online?
[10:04] <mynameistux> it's a kde application
[10:04] <mynameistux> I THINK it's in the repos
[10:04] <progre55> mynameistux: swell, I'm on kde actually =) let me have a look at it..
[10:04] <ooxi> i want to mount it with noatime flag
[10:05] <progre55> mynameistux: I'm on kubuntu.. let me see if it's in the repos..
[10:05] <Gurke___> I NEED
[10:05] <Gurke___> it for m< pc
[10:05] <Gurke___> my
[10:05] <Gurke___> not server
[10:05] <twiggy_> is there anyone here who knows how to hard reset a router without the password? i'm plugged in to it via ethernet btw
[10:05] <progre55> Gurke___: 10.10
[10:05] <twiggy_> and without physically accessing it
[10:05] <BlouBlou> Gurke_: Why are you asking it every days? I said you, if you want new programs, 10.10. If you want stable OS, 10.04
[10:06] <Gurke___> ok but progre55 : kde or gnome e
[10:06] <Gurke___> e
[10:06] <bullgard4> llutz_: This obtains "gnome" in Lucid but nothing (empty) in Natty.
[10:06] <mynameistux> progre55: It's in the repos on ubuntu
[10:06] <BlouBlou> Gurke_: I prefer KDE, but whatever you want
[10:06] <progre55> mynameistux: "posterazor - splits an image into multiple sheets for assembly into a poster" thanks man, I'll install and try it now
[10:06] <BlouBlou> Gurke_: Install both
[10:06] <Gurke___> kde okay why do you prefer kde bloublou ??
[10:06] <progre55> Gurke___: I personally have kde
[10:06] <Chris_H> Is there any screen capturing (video and not screenshot) software for linux
[10:06] <BlouBlou> Gurke_: I think it's 'cooler'
[10:06] <mynameistux> the program can be a bit of a pain to use, but once you get used to it, does the job really well
[10:06] <Gurke___> one thing, i dont want unity
[10:06] <progre55> Gurke___: looks nicer =)
[10:07] <Gurke___> thats important, i dont want unity
[10:07] <BlouBlou> Gurke_: Then install KDE, ubuntu comes with Unity
[10:07] <Gurke___> ok
[10:07] <valerauko> does kde still have the penguins misc app?
[10:07] <Gurke___> and gnome 3 i hate too
[10:07] <Gurke___> hehe
[10:07] <Gurke___> .D
[10:07] <bullgard4> niteshade: This is no command-line command.
[10:07] <Gurke___> hehe
[10:07] <FloodBot1> Gurke___: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:07] <red2kic> Gurke___: I wonder if 'sudo apt-get install *' will work -- then that way, you aren't missing anything out.
[10:07] <yehudah> how can you change the icon size of the launcher in 11.04
[10:07] <andrea_> does anyone know why I am not about to send to the python channel
[10:07] <andrea_> im new to python
[10:07] <BlouBlou> valerauko: penguins misc app? What's that?
[10:08] <andrea_> i meant IRC
[10:08] <progre55> red2kic: lol xD
[10:08] <DJones> andrea_: You probably need to register your nick before you can send the that channel
[10:08] <DJones> !register | andrea_
[10:08] <progre55> Gurke___: and also, make sure your graphics can handle kde =) cause it's really heavy when it comes to graphics
[10:08] <andrea_> thank you DJones
[10:08] <MaRk-I> Chris_H: there's several, gtk-recordmydesktop, xvidcap and kazam to name a few
[10:08] <Gurke___> hi
[10:09] <valerauko> BlouBlou: ages ago there was a "game" in kde... all it did was that penguins started falling across the screen, walking on and in the windows and stuff
[10:09] <rob_p> twiggy_: Nope.  You will need physical access. A router that can be hard reset without a password or physical access would be too vulnerable to local miscreants.
[10:09] <forceflow> Chris_H: I recommend xvidcap
[10:09] <Gurke___> progre55: i have got INTEL GMX 4500
[10:09] <Gurke___> GMA X4500
[10:09] <Gurke___> @ progre55
[10:09] <BlouBlou> valerauko: Oh, no idea, I didn't see it :P
[10:09] <shomon> hi - I often find middle button pasting doesn't work.. I have to use gedit as a middle ground to paste from tomboy to thunderbird for example.
[10:09] <shomon> is there a way to get it workign more?
[10:09] <valerauko> no surprise there, it was in a release like 8 years ago
[10:10] <progre55> Gurke___: not sure, but I guess should be okay
[10:10] <progre55> I've got radeon..
[10:10] <Gurke___> ok
[10:10] <Gurke___> progre55: future there is now way not to gnome 3 or unity or ?
[10:10] <Gurke___> is it ?
[10:10] <_raven> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[10:11] <progre55> Gurke___: no idea
[10:11] <shomon> ubuntu 10.10 is where middle button pasting suddenly gets less and less support
[10:11] <valerauko> PPPoE DSL, a japanese provider. With default settings, it works for most cases, but at certain FTP and most secure hosts (be that HTTP or FTP) it doesn't connect or times out. It works all right with windows with default settings and HTTPS works via Tor. Any ideas?
[10:12] <Gurke___> progre55: future there is now way not to gnome 3 or unity or ?
[10:12] <Gurke___> is it ?
[10:13] <Gurke___> or bloublou or so
[10:13] <BlouBlou> Gurke_: I don't understand your question
[10:13] <progre55> Gurke___: donno, you should ask the ubuntu developers =) I'm just a user
[10:13] <Gurke___> ok
[10:14] <Gurke___> BlouBlou
[10:14] <Gurke___> I hate !! gnome 3 and i hate unity tooo
[10:14] <BlouBlou> Then install Kubuntu
[10:14] <Gurke___> ok
[10:14] <Gurke___> thanks
[10:14] <andrea_d4>  if i am writing "/msg nickserv register myPassword myEmail@gmail.com"
[10:14] <jink> Just get rid of the gui entirely. :P
[10:14] <Tm_T> Gurke___: wrong channel for this
[10:15] <andrea_d4> but not working, am i missing something
[10:15] <valerauko> andrea_d4, write /msg nickserv help, read and learn.
[10:16] <BlouBlou> !pm | Gurke_
[10:16] <Gurke___> !pm | BlouBlou
[10:16] <BlouBlou> Gurke_: ??
[10:16] <andrea_d4> valerauko: do I write that on the freenode or the channel
[10:16] <Hans_Henrik> im running ubuntu 10.04 desktop and i want to reformat and re-setup everything from scratch.. i dont got any USB drives or simmilar, i dont got a ubuntu CD, and i wish to avoid burning 1 here. can i format this PC without burning a CD? and if so, how?
[10:16] <shomon> does anyone know how to improve middle button/unix style cut & pasting in ubuntu 10.10?
[10:17] <Gurke___> Hans_Henrik: why not 10.10
[10:17] <BlouBlou> Gurke_: Install whatever you want!!!
[10:17] <shomon> Hans_Henrik, maybe you can do a web install?
[10:17] <Gurke___> noo i recommend him
[10:17] <Hans_Henrik> gurke___: gonna use it as a server, and then id perfer a LTS
[10:17] <Hans_Henrik> shomon: how?
[10:17] <Gurke___> Hans_Henrik : ah ok start on an cd
[10:18] <shomon> is it connected to the net? I think there should be a link from ubuntu's website
[10:18] <Hans_Henrik> shomon: yup, im sitting on it right now :p
[10:18] <shomon> ouch get off you'll get electrocuted!
[10:18] <shomon> ok I found it once just looking on ubuntu's site...
[10:20] <smr2> is this channel for 11.04 beta also?
[10:20] <psycho_oreos> Hans_Henrik, the only way apart from not burning a CD or putting ubuntu setup on USB and installing from there is probably to do a PXE boot
[10:20] <red2kic> smr2: #ubuntu+1
[10:20] <psycho_oreos> !11.04| smr2
[10:20] <shomon> ah Hans_Henrik I see the windows installer edition is what I used. I'm sure you can from inside an existing ubuntu but I'm not sure how
[10:20] <Tm_T> Gurke___: stop harrassing other users and ranting in wrong channels
[10:21] <anyingisye> hey
[10:21] <anyingisye> watsup guys
[10:22] <psycho_oreos> have you got a ubuntu related question to as?
[10:22] <Hans_Henrik> psycho_oreos: its possible to do a full ubuntu install from Windows* OS's without using a CD, im quite sure its possible from a ubuntu install as well.. question is, how? :p
[10:22] <psycho_oreos> s/as/ask/
[10:22] <EyesIsMine|iPod> Hans_Henrik: Mount the .iso :S
[10:22] <_raven> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[10:23] <rypervenche> If I want to format an external disk, do I have to do fdisk and mkfs again, or can I just do mkfs if I want to keep the partition?
[10:24] <llutz_> rypervenche: you can
[10:24] <psycho_oreos> Hans_Henrik, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux <-- that?
[10:24] <Jibblit>  anyone run 11.04 under vmware workstation 7*?
[10:24] <psycho_oreos> rypervenche, you don't need to use fdisk if you want to keep the size of the partition
[10:24] <rypervenche> llutz_: Is there any special command to erase what exists on it or do I just do as I would to put a new one on there?
[10:25] <psycho_oreos> !11.04| Jibblit
[10:25] <llutz_> rypervenche: if you create a new filesystem, all old stuff will be erased
[10:25] <Hans_Henrik> psycho_oreos: thanks
[10:25] <valerauko> _raven i'm not sure but this might be relevant: http://technomagus.wordpress.com/linux/trust-slimline-widescreen-tablet-in-linux/
[10:25] <llutz_> rypervenche: sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sdXY
[10:25] <rypervenche> llutz_: Great, thank you :)
[10:26] <valerauko> PPPoE DSL, a japanese provider. With default settings, it works for most cases, but at certain FTP and most secure hosts (be that HTTP or FTP) it doesn't connect or times out. It works all right with windows with default settings and HTTPS works via Tor. Any ideas?
[10:27] <psycho_oreos> valerauko, probably a thing to to do with iptables or mtu settings
[10:28] <valerauko> psycho_oreos, could you go into details?
[10:29] <deeeed> hi
[10:29] <deeeed> do you know on which package I can find nbtstat ?
[10:30] <Hans_Henrik> where can i find the ubuntu netinst ISOs?
[10:30] <Draco_> Hi, I've installed 7z from the software center, but it doesn't appear in the application list, any ideas?
[10:30] <psycho_oreos> valerauko, its not specifically ubuntu related, but there's clues on how one can go about on it by looking at linux router howto for instance. There's software based router OS like ipcop which has all those settings preset.
[10:30] <red2kic> Hans_Henrik: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/
[10:30] <Hans_Henrik> ty
[10:31] <hoth1c3> Draco_: I think that just gives you command line access to 7zip formats, or through the normal archive manager. It won't install a GUI
[10:31] <red2kic> Draco_: If you install 7z, file-roller (Gnome Archiver) will support it.

[10:35] <Prasath> valium: Thanks
[10:35] <psycho_oreos> valerauko, I didn't mean you use routers, I meant that some software based routers such as ipcop have those settings preset, the things one usually needs to fiddle with when it comes to maximising the capabilities of the connection
[10:35] <valium> Prasath - run as sudo

[10:36] <gaurav_help> how i copy iso image to usb device
[10:36] <bazhang> gaurav_help, unetbootin
[10:36] <ginbun2> bazhang, now they also banned me from #ubuntu-ops?
[10:36] <bazhang> ginbun2, try now
[10:36] <Araneidae> How can I get host names in /etc/hosts to take precedence over DNS server names?
[10:37] <ginbun2> bazhang, I don't have time to deal with it now.. I am taking a break of 5 min
[10:37] <Araneidae> I'm stuck with a netgear router DNS server, but I need some local names
[10:37] <tripelb> pfifo, thanks for telling me. I appreciate that. Info filed away for the future. USB has limited power. I knew that but didnt ever apply my knowledge.

[10:37] <kwtm> Is LibreOffice available for Ubuntu 10.04?  I did "apt-cache search libreoffice" and found nothing; I did http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=lucid&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libreoffice and it said my keyword was too generic (ie. there were too many packages found and could I please narrow it down).
[10:37] <skyw4lk3r> How can I install iTunes? I can't find it in the software center
[10:37] <Araneidae> !dns
[10:37] <Araneidae> !hosts
[10:37] <ginbun2> skyw4lk3r, there is no itunes for Ubuntu
[10:38] <ginbun2> Araneidae, stop it. you POS
[10:38] <trond-> skyw4lk3r, There is no iTunes for Linux - call Steve Jobs for that. You have to use either Banshee or Rhythmbox (or how that one is spelled).
[10:38] <Araneidae> ginbun2, what's the problem?
[10:38] <bazhang> ginbun2, stop that now
[10:38] <gartral> skyw4lk3r: another alternative is yamipod
[10:38] <bullgard4> Seahorse = »Passwords and Encryption Keys« > Other Keys  shows a "Secure Shell Key" together with a KEY ID and a key symbol having a terminal emblem. On another Ubuntu computer another "Secure Shell Key" does not appear. What is the function of this "Secure Shell Key"?
[10:38] <Araneidae> whew
[10:38] <skyw4lk3r> Does Banshee or Rhythmbox have the iTunes store?
[10:38] <gartral> Araneidae: he's calling you a "Point of Service" :P
[10:38] <gaurav_help> ubottu, i have an iso image which is bootable but it is not ubuntu  of image i want to copy all data of that image to my usb device
[10:38] <trond-> skyw4lk3r, no
[10:39] <nbookham> Rythmbox is good, you can download a UPNP plugin from the Ubuntu Software Centre
[10:39] <Araneidae> gaurav_help, ubottu is a bot!
[10:39] <jansend> Does someone over here has some experience with ubuntu and tablets?
[10:39] <skyw4lk3r> trond-: Why not? Is there no way to enable it?
[10:39] <nbookham> So in theory you can use dlna to stream
[10:39] <silvery> ubottu is a bot!
[10:39] <silvery> no way!
[10:39] <MaRk-I> gaurav_help: just copy it like a regular file to the usb
[10:39] <bullgard4> jansend: Please put a specific question here in this channel.
[10:39] <etienneroesch> Hi all
[10:39] <gartral> gaurav_help: are you on ubuntu or windows right now?
[10:40] <Araneidae> Any suggestions for my name lookup problem?  `host myname` (and I have a myname entry in /etc/hosts) goes to the DNS server
[10:40] <Araneidae> I've looked in nsswitch.conf which has files first on the hosts line, so I'm at a loss
[10:40] <jansend> well, i'm currently trying to find a tablet which is supported by ubuntu (the hardware itself), but because the makers of the tablets are very limited by providing information about there hardware
[10:41] <etienneroesch> Specific question: I am using 10.10 (server) and want to compile pyopencl, which needs a sdk; for some reason I don't manage export /pathtosdk/include to the search path for the includes in compiling
[10:41] <gaurav_help> gartral, i am on ubuntu when i am trying to copy as regular my iso image get unmouted
[10:41] <etienneroesch> I am new to programming on ubuntu, and am wondering what's the correct procedure for adding includes to the search path is
[10:42] <etienneroesch> thx in advance.. :)
[10:42] <trond-> skyw4lk3r, Well as you may know, Mr Steve Jobs is a bit paranoid and he does not want anything else than apple product getting access to the iTunes Store. So, afaik, no Linux music software can connect to the iTUnes store. And I have a feeling that Mr. Jobs will do any changes to that. Also: I doubt that there will be a Linux version of iTunes. It might be that you can install Wine and run iTunes there. Search the web for Wine and Itunes
[10:43] <ikonia> trond-: it has NOTHING to do with paranioa, so get a grips on the reasonsing behind it before spouting nonsense to people
[10:43] <nbookham> wine is a bit buggy though
[10:44] <Prasath> valium: Even its slow (sudo rm -fr /path/)
[10:44] <gaurav_help> i want 2 copy my iso image files 2 my usb how i do that ... through terminal
[10:44] <trond-> ikonia, i know.
[10:44] <Jibblit> @etienneroescho - it could be as easy as 'export PATH=$HOME/foo/bar:$PATH' at the bottom of .bashrc
[10:44] <ikonia> trond-: if you know, then why did you say it ?
[10:45] <Jibblit> depending...
[10:45] <etienneroesch> Jibblit well that's what I did... on C_LIBRARY_PATH (which appeared to be empty beforehand!) but that doesn't work...
[10:45] <Araneidae> ikonia, trond-, it's more greed than paranoia IMHO, but very OT
[10:45] <ikonia> Araneidae: it's neither
[10:45] <etienneroesch> so I was wondering if I am using the appropriate variables to begin with
[10:45] <trond-> ikonia, well, what I meant was that I should not have done it. And I am sorry.
[10:45] <skyw4lk3r> trond-: Thanks for your help, I'll look at Wine or otherwise try an alternative store
[10:46] <Araneidae> ikonia, desire for full control?  Hunger for power?  What do you call that then?
[10:46] <trond-> skyw4lk3r, with banshee you get access to amazon mp3 store and the ubuntu one store.
[10:46] <Jibblit> probably, what's your exact code you included?
[10:46] <etienneroesch> Jibblit cp /pathtoyourimage/ /mnt/nameoftheusb/
[10:46] <ikonia> Araneidae: I call it not developing for a unstable/moving platform, and developing for two stable platforms in mac and windows
[10:46] <Jibblit> well, do you want to copy everything or just use it?
[10:47] <Pie_Mage> helloski
[10:47] <Araneidae> Well, as I say, this is very OT, so I'm reluctant to open an argument here!
[10:47] <etienneroesch> Jibblit export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$C_INCLUDE_PATH":/home/eroesch/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include/"
[10:47] <ikonia> Araneidae: join #ubuntu-offtopic and discuss
[10:48] <Araneidae> Good idea.  Trying to resolve my damned /etc/hosts lookup problem now, though :(
[10:48] <trond-> Araneidae, what is your problem with it?
[10:48] <Araneidae> No idea how to ensure that /etc/hosts takes absolute priority over DNS?
[10:48] <Jibblit> @etie, what upbuntu version?  i assume you are using bash?
[10:48] <Araneidae> My problem is that I have entries in /etc/hosts that don't seem to be being picked up reliably, for example `host myname` doesn't see them
[10:49] <trond-> Araneidae, have you restarted networking?
[10:49] <Araneidae> Um.  I suppose it's worth a try...
[10:49] <trond-> Araneidae, /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:49] <bullgard4> Seahorse = »Passwords and Encryption Keys« > Other Keys  shows a "Secure Shell Key" together with a KEY ID and a key symbol having a terminal emblem. On another Ubuntu computer another "Secure Shell Key" does not appear. What is the function of this "Secure Shell Key"?
[10:50] <Araneidae> FWIW, on n/w restart I get the message: "postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory"
[10:50] <Araneidae> Doesn't fix my name resolver problem
[10:50] <Chousuke> bullgard4: an ssh key maybe?
[10:51] <trond-> Araneidae, installing a webserver with postfix email support?
[10:51] <bullgard4> Chousuke: Yes. But I'd like to know it more exactly.
[10:51] <gaurav_help> how to run an apllication through terminal
[10:51] <Araneidae> trond-, ok, I'll ignore that issue for now
[10:51] <Jibblit> @etie, regardless, have you tried juist hardcoding the directory before using variables in the pathname?
[10:51] <trond-> Araneidae, you could just do touch /etc/postfix/main.cf just so that you get a file there.
[10:52] <gaurav_help> running application through terminal
[10:52] <trond-> Araneidae, last line is not recommended though. I would finish the postfix installation first.
[10:52] <trond-> gaurav_help, ./applicationname
[10:53] <Araneidae> trond-, I'm not too excited about my postfix install at the moment, but alas I'm not getting much traction on my name lookup issue
[10:53] <Araneidae> Why is my /etc/hosts file being ignored?  How can I find out?
[10:53] <ikonia> Araneidae: why do you think your hostfile is being ignored ?
[10:53] <Araneidae> Because when I type `host myname` when myname is in /etc/hosts I get a response from the DNS server
[10:54] <gaurav_help> trond-, i want 2 open Unetbooien through terminal as u tell that is not working
[10:54] <ikonia> Araneidae: host references dns, not host file
[10:54] <Araneidae> Oh crap
[10:54] <ikonia> Araneidae: host is a DNS tool
[10:54] <dyd> hi guys
[10:54] <Araneidae> Ahhh
[10:54] <Araneidae> Been barking up the wrong damned tree for the last half hour :(
[10:55] <Araneidae> Thanks ikonia , I'll step back a stage.
[10:55] <dyd> i have a problem with gedit... i have to create a list of names and make a TAB space between them, the problem is that when i press TAB the first time it puts a space, then i have to press it again to put a true TAB. This is annoying.
[10:55] <trond-> Araneidae, it happens to all of us :)
[10:55] <Araneidae> I guess `ping` is the tool to use then?  Or is there some other name resolution tool that uses libc resolution order?
[10:55] <gaurav_help> ikonia, i want 2 open an application through terminal how i open that
[10:56] <fuzzybunny69y> Hey guys is there anyway to tell what file is being edited when you are using a program?
[10:56] <erUSUL> Araneidae: dig? nslookup?
[10:57] <Jibblit> @fuzzy - depends, emacs creates #file#
[10:57] <Jibblit> too easy?
[10:57] <dyllan> hi guys
[10:57] <red2kic> fuzzybunny69y: lsof /path/to/file -- Maybe?
[10:58] <fuzzybunny69y> hmmm well I was wanting to see what file is being edited when I use the software sources to remove a 3rd party repository for example
[10:58] <erUSUL> fuzzybunny69y: /etc/apt/sources.list and or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* files
[10:58] <erUSUL> !xy | fuzzybunny69y
[10:59] <dyllan> Im trying to mount an nfs share via PXE boot, when it boots it complains about Read-only filesystem, but my /etc/exports file has the rw option, i even chown & chmod the directory 777 but still no luck, any ideas?

[11:01] <LarsTorben> d
[11:02] <xro2> Hi, i did a nmap tcp port scan on one of my server... It report that the port 554 is open... when  do a netstat -atunp on my server i don't see this port... but if i try to connect throught telnet it repond.... have you an idea?
[11:02] <ikonia> xilo: possible compromise
[11:03] <ikonia> xilo: if you telnet to the port, what does it respond with
[11:03] <mickster04> xro2: what is the problem?
[11:03] <ikonia> xro2: sorry, that was for you, it's a possible compromise, what does it respond with if you telnet to it
[11:04] <ikonia> xro2: possible it's also something that's launched from xinetd
[11:04] <xro2> ikonia, Connected to x.x.x.x Escape character is '^]'.... but with wireshark i saw that it respond...
[11:05] <ikonia> xro2: issue a command, anything, what does it do
[11:05] <xro2> mickster04, servers doesn't have to respond to a port i haven't specified!
[11:05] <xro2> ikonia, nothing special...
[11:05] <Araneidae> erUSUL, I though dig was a dns only tool.  WIll try nslookup
[11:05] <ikonia> xro2: what does it respond with exactly
[11:06] <tripelb> I've a question about packing things in so that I can break up my huge partition into something smaller and not lose information. How can I do this? Can I do this? I've got a 1T drive, say 1/6 full at most.
[11:06] <ikonia> tripelb: what do you want to change ?
[11:06] <tripelb> ubuntu 10.04, default.
[11:06] <Araneidae> erUSUL, no, they both seem to go straight to DNS (unless there's some command line option I haven't looked for yet)
[11:06] <ikonia> tripelb: first question, why do you want to change your partition layout ?
[11:07] <xro2> ikonia, nothing in the telnet session but I saw that it ack every command in wireshark
[11:08] <Mrokii> hello. Does somebody know how I can undelete files on an SD-card?
[11:08] <Mrokii> I mean, a flashcard from a camera.
[11:08] <llutz_> Mrokii: maybe photorec (testdisk package) helps
[11:09] <Mrokii> okay, thanks.
[11:09] <etienneroesch> Damn router!
[11:09] <tripelb> I want to have a couple of partitions.  why, one to have some ntfs. two I have a hard drive with issues. I want to dump what is there into it's own partition to keep things clean. -- are there any other good reasons to break up a partition? I should have made a separate home, tho I found out we can now (or soon) update the system without trashing home. Another reason is I coudl run two versions of ubuntu. Fear is keeping me from updat
[11:09] <tripelb> ing 10.04 and I'd rather have both.
[11:09] <etienneroesch> Jibblit sorry got disconnected
[11:09] <tripelb> ikonia ^^^^
[11:09] <etienneroesch> right when you were about to give me the solution to my include problem... :)
[11:10] <rob_p> xro2: When you do, "sudo netstat -lpnt" does port 554 show up in the list?  Obviously you have some service listening on that port.  But if netstat refuses to show it as listening, that could suggest a hacked netstat (possible rootkit, etc.). The responsible process will be listed in the far right column.
[11:11] <xro2> rob_p, no... This is why i don't understand...
[11:11] <llutz_> xro2: "sudo lsof -i :554" "pgrep xinetd"
[11:11] <ikonia> tripelb: the first thing to do is to boot from a livecd and shrink your root partition (/) down to the zie you want it to be
[11:12] <Jibblit> @etie, lol, maybe
[11:12] <etienneroesch> h?h? :)
[11:12] <etienneroesch> is C_LIBRARY_PATH the correct include variable on 10.10?
[11:12] <xro2> llutz_, nothing
[11:13] <Jibblit> @etie not sure, but have you tried hardcoding the directory instead of using an $ variable?
[11:14] <etienneroesch> Jibblit well, nop I haven't but technically I (want to) have little control over that because it's for compiling pyopencl, which is "self-compiling" from pip, the python package manager
[11:15] <PodMan99> hey guys and gals, I have a ubuntu 10.10 installation x86, is there a way I can upgrade this to the x64 version without rebuilding my machine.? i know its a long shot but worth a go.
[11:15] <etienneroesch> it is including <CL/cl.h> in one of its own include, which gcc fails to find in the search path
[11:15] <bazhang> PodMan99, upgrade from 32 to 64 without a full reinstall?
[11:15] <mickster04> etienneroesch: no? how did you expect that to work?
[11:15] <rob_p> xro2: What don't you understand?  There *is* something listening on that port. *If* netstat refuses to show what process is bound to that port, then it's likely a hacked netstat.  And yes, even xinet will show up as a process in the list if it is bound to and listening on a port.
[11:15] <PodMan99> bazhang: yes
[11:15] <bazhang> PodMan99, no
[11:16] <mickster04> etienneroesch: wrong nick sorry
[11:16] <PodMan99> bazhang: clears that up :) thanks
[11:16] <etienneroesch> mickster04 no problemo :)
[11:16] <xro2> rob_p, hacked netstat??? do you think that a hacker penetrate my system and then change the netstat soft?
[11:17] <rob_p> xro2: It's possible, if everything you are telling us is true.
[11:17] <rob_p> xro2: It would usually be part of a rootkit.
[11:18] <etienneroesch> Jibblit hence my question: what is the search path for includes on 10.10? and what is the correct system variable to update?
[11:18] <lxs-makoto> crisis. i need help. servers suddenly, out of the blue, came up with "no space on device"#
[11:18] <lxs-makoto> and i dont even know whats caused it
[11:18] <xro2> rob_p, i will check it... but that appears a bit strange! my system is not so old and patched...
[11:18] <lxs-makoto> i can only get into a bash
[11:19] <tsimpson> etienneroesch: you don't use C_LIBRARY_PATH (whatever that is), you add the directories with the -I and -L flags of gcc, there are no environment variables for it as it will vary from project to project
[11:19] <jrib> lxs-makoto: verify there is no space left on the device and find out why?  If you're not comfortable in bash a « sudo apt-get clean » may free up some space so you can login
[11:19] <rob_p> xro2: Well, I don't want you to panic, but you should definitely look into what's going on because it's a pretty fishy scenario...
[11:20] <Jibblit> #etie try this: http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/to-add-new-library-path-in-ubuntu-1010.html
[11:20] <Jibblit> substituting gedit if you wish of course
[11:21] <princo> how do you list all the active processors ?
[11:21] <bazhang> princo, in top ?
[11:21] <princo> in terminal
[11:21] <etienneroesch> for completeness: that is where I found C_LIBRARY_PATH http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535808
[11:21] <kernelpnc_> In ubuntu 10.10, I successfully configured /etc/network/interfaces ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/596486/ ) to use wpa_supplicant and dhcp to connect to an AP ("UHH-WPA"). Now I want the machine to connect to an ad-hoc network ("bensotec") instead when that ad-hoc network is available. But I think for that network I need to specify an ip manually. How do I do that?
[11:21] <etienneroesch> admitedly an old page
[11:21] <bazhang> princo, assuming you mean processes and not processors
[11:21] <princo> yep processes
[11:21] <MrBushido> does iptables block localhost to localhost connections unless otherwise told?
[11:21] <princo> sorry not processors.
[11:21] <lxs-makoto> x wont start,
[11:22] <bazhang> top in terminal princo
[11:22] <etienneroesch> princo sudo apt-get install htop; htop
[11:22] <airtonix> princo: htop gives a nice coloured output of both processors and processes
[11:22] <princo> okay let me try. thanks
[11:22] <jrib> etienneroesch: no you didn't :)
[11:23] <etienneroesch> jrib what do you mean? :)
[11:23] <jrib> etienneroesch: there's no "C_LIBRARY_PATH" in your link
[11:23] <princo> excellent just what i was looking for. thanks :)
[11:24] <etienneroesch> jrib Ha, correct! Wrong link: that is the one   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535808
[11:24] <princo> what other cool things can you do with ubuntu? :P
[11:24] <xro2> rob_p, ohhh, i cannot connect it from: telnet 127.0.0.1 554!   really strange...
[11:24] <jrib> etienneroesch: same link
[11:25] <tsimpson> etienneroesch: C_LIBRARY_PATH/C_INCLUDE_PATH may be for some other OS/compiler, but not for Linux/GCC
[11:25] <etienneroesch> jrib then look on abt 1/3 from top of the page ;)
[11:25] <lxs-makoto> how (from bash) can i find whats somehow managed to nom 400gb?
[11:25] <mehdi> hey guys if my modem doesn't support linux is it possible to use it in linux
[11:26] <jrib> etienneroesch: I am.  "C_LIBRARY_PATH" is no where on that page.  There are other include variables (valid ones).  « man gcc » documents them
[11:26] <rob_p> xro2: It may not be listening on local loopback.
[11:26] <etienneroesch> jrib you're right, my bad, I meant C_INCLUDE_PATH :p
[11:26] <etienneroesch> (i need more coffee)
[11:27] <jrib> etienneroesch: yes
[11:28] <etienneroesch> tsimpson jrib Jibblit .. well, thx guys! I'll dig in a bit more, shouldn't be that difficult :) I'll stay online, if you have ideas don't hesitate ;)

[11:33] <lxs-makoto> the only bug in ext3 i am aware of
[11:33] <Rick77> jrib, did already (freenode is usually my last resort ;-) (

[11:34] <pdebruic> tsimpson: I'm trying to see if in crypt(3) the blowfish password encryption scheme is supported.  I don't think it is but could be doing it wrong
[11:34] <rob_p> xro2: I see where you're going... ok.  But you should remove all extraneous variables.  Plug in directly to the server (if possible) and rerun your analysis.
[11:34] <jrib> Rick77: layouts → options

[11:35] <Rick77> jrib: both USA alternative international and USA international with dead keys do that. Itś more likely that the layout options will be the answer
[11:35] <bullgard4> jrib My personal ssh keys are in »Passwords and Encryption Keys« > »My Personal Keys«, are thy not? And this special Key is not there.
[11:35] <tsimpson> pdebruic: the man page suggests it's likely supported, you'll have to try and check the errno result
[11:36] <bullgard4> s/thy/they/
[11:36] <tsimpson> etienneroesch: maybe in some OS/compiler, not in Linux/GCC
[11:36] <Rick77> I was already browsing them, but no dice. I'll search better
[11:36] <tsimpson> etienneroesch: unless it's talking about some configure script
[11:36] <pdebruic> tsimpson: thanks.
[11:37] <jrib> bullgard4: where is this special key?
[11:37] <etienneroesch> tsimpson .. it's the man gcc from 10.10 I did :) In the section about environment variables for gcc
[11:37] <bullgard4> jrib:  Seahorse = »Passwords and Encryption Keys« > Other Keys  shows a "Secure Shell Key" together with a KEY ID and a key symbol having a terminal emblem.
[11:38] <jrib> bullgard4: key id?
[11:38] <tsimpson> etienneroesch: the fact that no one knows about it shows how ugly it is and that you probably don't want to use it
[11:39] <durammx> it was working fine, since the last update is dead
[11:39] <etienneroesch> tsimpson hehe that's very true :)
[11:39] <tsimpson> etienneroesch: use -I to add include paths and -L to add library search paths, and you'll avoid confusing errors
[11:40] <xro2> rob_p, i will do it... i just checked my other servers and they all respond to this port... So, i get totally cracked or my firewall is playing with me...
[11:40] <dyllan> Im trying to mount an nfs share via PXE boot, when it boots it complains about Read-only filesystem, but my /etc/exports file has the rw option, i even chown & chmod the directory 777 but still no luck, any ideas?

[11:41] <bullgard4> jrib:  Ok. Thank you.
[11:41] <jrib> bullgard4: fwiw in "Other keys" I have keys added through apt-key.  Maybe check what other directories seahorse searches
[11:41] <etienneroesch> anyway, it's just been 30+ min playing with it, so I am not ready to give up just yet ;)

[11:42] <martin_> Can I prevent my laptop screen going  dim when on battery.
[11:42] <dhaitham> it exists on the processes (from system monitor) but not on the system tray
[11:43] <jrib> etienneroesch: is the "problem" that you have some sort of dependency installed in a non-standard path?  Because that's pretty much what the purpose of C_INCLUDE_PATH is afaik
[11:43] <rob_p> xro2: Good luck!  Hope you find out what's going on.  Perhaps you have a firewall rule that redirects inbound tcp port 554 to some other server (or something along those lines) because that would explain it.
[11:44] <DJones> martin_: It should be a setting in screensaver settings and then power management tabs
[11:44] <xro2> rob_p, i have a rule that drop all traffic i didn't permit... so it could drop traffic to 554 port...
[11:44] <martin_> D.Jones I thought I had looked there. But I will have another look.
[11:45] <xro2> rob_p, thanks... for your help
[11:45] <dhaitham> hello, i got skype process going on but it's not showing the little skype icon on system tray  (near the indicator applet) - how can I add it there?

[11:45] <etienneroesch> Jibblit jrib tsimpson   .. well, as you may expect   sudo cp -R /pathtosdk/ /usr/include/ solved the problem  (it's my least preferred solution though, but it works) Thanks for your help!
[11:46] <martin_> D Jones ok thanks
[11:46] <durammx> snd-hda-intel module loaded but no driver
[11:48] <durammx> how do I enable the driver?
[11:49] <dhaitham> Rerunning an application after killing it doesn't help bringing it back on the system tray (it's on visible on system monitor), how can I make it's tray icon appear again on sys-tray?
[11:50] <An_Ony_Moose> How can I get the PID of the process that created an X window?
[11:52] <mang0> hey guys! I'm installing ubuntu as soon as my HD arrives, but I just wanna check something.
[11:52] <mang0> This is probably a very stupid question, but I have a live CD of 10.10...can I install from the CD then update from ubuntu?
[11:52] <jrib> An_Ony_Moose: xprop returns a _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL).  What that exactly means is for you to find out :)
[11:52] <mang0> or do I have to do a fresh install...
[11:53] <Diamondcite> mang0: You can update fine from ubuntu.
[11:53] <mang0> k thy
[11:53] <mang0> :D
[11:53] <An_Ony_Moose> jrib: or, alternatively, could you tell me the name of the process that opens a window when access to an SSH keypair is requested?
[11:53] <gartral> mang0: Ubuntu doesn't come in "Distribution/live" cds.. Ubuntu is one cd that boots live and you install from the live OS
[11:53] <An_Ony_Moose> (why didn't I ask that instead)
[11:53] <GeekMan> how do i burn a podcast to a cd that i got from rhythm box
[11:54] <prokwasm> greetings
[11:54] <prokwasm> I have problem with accessing ntfs partition.
[11:54] <jrib> An_Ony_Moose: maybe seahorse; don't know
[11:54] <gartral> !ntfs | prokwasm
[11:54] <prokwasm> I'm using ubuntu 1010 amd64, after updating some packages, now my system cannot write to ntfs disk.
[11:54] <An_Ony_Moose> jrib: that name rings a bell, I'll take a look. Thanks
[11:54] <jrib> prokwasm: can you even mount the ntfs disk?
[11:55] <prokwasm> What packages could be the problem?
[11:55] <GeekMan> is your linux partition a ntfs cause its not recomended to do so
[11:55] <gartral> prokwasm: sounds like ntfs-3g
[11:55] <prokwasm> I can mount, and it can read, but not write
[11:55] <jrib> prokwasm: I had issues with updates of libfuse2 and fuse-utils
[11:55] <Rick77> jrib: it was the layout (everything with "USA international" merges the quotes. I was just unlucky to pick 2 which where behaving the same). Thank you for your help
[11:55] <edwinkcw> just wonder if it is useful to build a personal cloud? I just read a magazine about eucalyptus
[11:55] <GeekMan> yes you can mount ntfs
[11:56] <GeekMan> iv done it before i dule boot vista and 10.10 on my other computer
[11:56] <prokwasm> jrib: libfuse2 and fuse-utils. thanks. I may try that

[12:16] <KNUBBIG> Hey, I'm trying to install the Creative X-FI drivers, but I get the error "sound/driver.h not found", I know there was a solution to this but I can't find it. Anyone who knows what to replace in the files?
[12:16] <CannonFodda> i have hardware raid 1 controlled my mb with 2 x 500gig tried ubuntu desktop 10.10 as livecd. rebooted to vista & my raid was degraded. one drive was removed as member. is there an issue with hardware raid?
[12:16] <ikonia> CannonFodda: it's fakeraid, not hardware raid
[12:16] <josvuk> Updating my ubuntu system I get some errors, how can I read the Details in the bash? Where is the log file stored?
[12:17] <BlouBlou> josvuk: you can try 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[12:17] <CannonFodda> ikonia: ok, is the an issue that i need to address b4 going to ubuntu?
[12:18] <ikonia> CannonFodda: I wouldn't be using it with ubuntu if I where you, fake raid has terrible support on linux
[12:18] <josvuk> BlouBlou: I used the update manager but I want to have a look inside what is going wrong
[12:19] <BlouBlou> josvuk: then do what I said, you'll get errors (if you have them) in a terminal
[12:20] <CannonFodda> ikonia: thanks, so i'd need to use a software solutuion then?
[12:20] <ikonia> CannonFodda: in my opinion - yes
[12:21] <ikonia> CannonFodda: or a true hardware raid solution
[12:21] <Metallico> does anyone know how to force ubuntu re-detect sound hardware. I've installed a new sound card but it's not picking it up. If I load the live cd i do get sound.
[12:22] <damno> in windows after a real long time...damn i feel so impatient
[12:22] <override> salve a tutti
[12:22] <jiltdil> Metallico:try installing restricted modules perhabs it helps
[12:24] <Soothsayer> I installed ubuntu on a laptop... i completely formatted it to ext3 with a 3gb swap space partition
[12:24] <Soothsayer> but for some reason, my laptop will never shutdown or hibernate
[12:24] <Soothsayer> always gets hung in the process / ubuntu logo animation
[12:24] <MK``> Soothsayer: can it suspend?
[12:24] <Soothsayer> MK``, hmm.. not tried a suspend
[12:24] <Soothsayer> let me try now
[12:24] <Soothsayer> brb if i get disconnected
[12:27] <josvuk> I did sudo apt-get upgrade and get some errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/596498/ how to remove the package ibm-j2rel.5?
[12:28] <Soothsayer> MK``, ok no, i can't suspend either.
[12:28] <Metallico> jiltdil, is that the ubuntu-restricted-extras package?
[12:28] <Soothsayer> it got hung on the loading battery state... screen
[12:28] <Hans_Henrik> what is the package openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra for?
[12:29] <MK``> I see :( I am not an expert though
[12:30] <tsimpson> Hans_Henrik: they have lists of known bad default/non-default SSH keys
[12:30] <llutz_> Hans_Henrik: apt-cache show openssh-blacklist
[12:30] <Pumpkin-> Hans_Henrik: they block the use of known bad SSH keys (created by a bug where random numbers were notably less random than they should have been :/)
[12:34] <red2kic> They are still random numbers. :P
[12:37] <dyllan> Guys i accidentally removed a file from /etc/init.d/xx so i thought best way to get it back was to remove the package then reinstall the package but the file that starts the service in /etc/init.d/xx has not returned, how can i fix this?
[12:38] <josvuk> What about such automatically installed packegs which are reported to be no longer required? can I savely use autoremove without destroying my system? http://paste.ubuntu.com/596509/
[12:39] <BlouBlou> josvuk: I wouldn't use autoremove, better 'remove' and 'purge'
[12:39] <almoxarife> dyllan: service? did the service start?
[12:39] <tsimpson> autoremove is fine, as long as you _read_ the list of packages to be removed
[12:39] <josvuk> some seems to me to be importent like linux-headers and libboost-program-options I don't won't a system in which the gcc don>'t work properly
[12:39] <glenn1794> Why do some of my removable storage devices have icons as if they are text files?
[12:39] <dyllan> almoxarife, no when i try start the service it says it is unrecognised
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> glenn1794: you can set the icon to anything you want
[12:40] <tsimpson> josvuk: the headers are for older kernels which have been upgraded, so that's fine. as for the libboost stuff, obviously something that did depend on it was removed, and so that package isn't required any more
[12:40] <almoxarife> dyllan: what package?
[12:41] <dyllan> almoxarife, atftpd
[12:42] <shomon> I've installed a vbox with xp in my ubuntu 10.10. But how do I copy stuff in to it from ubuntu?
[12:42] <Hansi89> Good day @all
[12:42] <glenn1794> ActionParsnip, Thanks
[12:42] <shomon> hi Hansi89
[12:42] <Hansi89>  hi shomon !
[12:42] <Hansi89> heyho shomon
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> shomon: i'd ask in #vbox
[12:42] <shomon> ok no problem
[12:42] <Hansi89>  Hello nbca
[12:43] <nbca> Does Ubuntu support lvm partitions with the standard installation medium?
[12:43] <red2kic> nbca: No. Only alternative, I believe.
[12:43] <rzx237> shomon: use virtualbox shared folder
[12:43] <LjL> pcquad: seriously, no bots here
[12:43] <nbca> red2kic: damn, thanks
[12:43] <shomon> well I just set one up but no clue where to go in vbox to access it
[12:43] <almoxarife> dyllan: does it require a re-boot?
[12:43] <shomon> thanks though rzx237
[12:43] <dyllan> almoxarife, no sir
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> shomon: power off the vbox and go into the settings, there are shared folders there. It also shows how to map them to the OS
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> shomon: if you are using samba to share on the LAN you can use a bridged network connection and access the shares as if the virtual system was a real system of it'sown
[12:45] <shomon> aah thanks ActionParsnip
[12:45] <shomon> I'll probably have to switch to bridge mode or something in vbox
[12:46] <nikolai_> ололо
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> shomon: can be easier although not as graceful, the #vbox guys will help. You will also find youtube vids detailing it too
[12:46] <Hans_Henrik> is there some console command/program i can install/call to get the external IP of the computer?
[12:46] <almoxarife> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html <-- have a look dyllan
[12:48] <rob_p> dyllan: Do, "sudo apt-get --purge remove atftpd" and after it finishes do, "sudo apt-get install atftpd" and the init script for it should be back.
[12:48] <dyllan> thanks almoxarife. I know how to do it but the problem is that the file that starts the service is missing, there must be a way to get that back?
[12:48] <dyllan> rob_p, thanks thats what i was looking for, appreciated
[12:48] <dyllan> thanks almoxarife as well
[12:49] <almoxarife> dyllan: getting it back is easy if you had a backup running, I assume you don't though, forensic data recovery I don't have a clue about
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  last i googled for that - i found proberly a dozen scripts, or other ways to do that task.
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  ive seen conky scripts that also do it.
[12:50] <dyllan> almoxarife, of course i dont, that would be against IT protocol ;)
[12:50] <josvuk> BlouBlou: I used the update manager but I want to have a look inside what is going wrong
[12:50] <almoxarife> dyllan: I thought you re-installed the package?
[12:51] <dyllan> almoxarife, I did, but i needed to --purge remove to then install again and the service file was installed
[12:52] <almoxarife> dyllan: cool, btw, I finally resolved my lazy ass to keep 'sbackup' running for these kind of rainy days
[12:52] <josvuk> What is the Hibernate shut down? Is it right to use it if I will shut down the comp and the next time I restart it all the programms what was running are back again without starting its all again?
[12:52] <dyllan> almoxarife, nicely done! ;)
[12:53] <Soothsayer> ok, I realized the shutdown problems don't happen if I switch off my wifi.
[12:54] <Hans_Henrik> how do i get the contents of a spectific URL printed as text? (WITHOUT any html parsing, i wish to get the contents of http://ip2.dynupdate.no-ip.com/ )
[12:54] <Hans_Henrik> printed as text in a shell*
[12:54] <jrib> Hans_Henrik: wget -q -O - URL
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  ivve seen some html2text commands/scripts - but not sure if any re in teh default repos.
[12:55] <jrib> Hans_Henrik: now the better question is, why do you want to do this?
[12:56] <almoxarife> josvuk: yes
[12:56] <Hans_Henrik> jrib: just a way to get external IP via a shell
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> josvuk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation_(computing)
[12:57] <MaRk-I> Hans_Henrik: wget -O - -q icanhazip.com
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: WANIP=`wget -q -O - http://ip.keithscode.com`; echo $WANIP
[12:59] <kavurt> does anybody have a logitech c250 webcam?
[12:59] <Hans_Henrik> all described methods works, thanks guys. my problem is solved
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | kavurt
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: my way adds it to a variable so you can use it in scripts and the like ;)
[12:59] <Hans_Henrik> true
[13:01] <Hans_Henrik> how can i make a permanent alias in gnome term?
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  in the .bashrc or .profile or some other similer file.
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> !alias
[13:01]  * jrib puts Dr_Willis on factoid-writing duty
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> i submited a bunch once.. they never got implimented. :)
[13:02] <jrib> Dr_Willis: well if you submit now and poke me when you're done, I promise I'll take a look :)  Sorry about that
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> I must of had my old irc client setup with like 100+ 'faq' answers also.. but i lost the files :)
[13:04] <facme> who can help me please?
[13:04] <jrib> facme: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> facme:  and the problem is?
[13:05] <uabn93> Hey, does anyone have experience with burg, the graphical bootloader?
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  i tried it once.. it dident work. :)
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> but that was 6+Mo ago.
[13:05] <Hans_Henrik> how can i search for files in current directory and all sub-directories with gnome term?
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  find command or the locate command.
[13:05] <uabn93> Dr_Willis: why didn't it work?
[13:05] <Hans_Henrik> ty willis
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  you may want to check out some bash tutorials and command line starter guides.
[13:06] <facme> under  text command mode chinese ambiguousness
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  i installed it.. it dident work.. so i went back to grub2..
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik: locate uses a database, find does not. Which one to use. deends on what you want to do with the  found names.
[13:07] <facme> under  text command mode chinese ambiguousness who know why?
[13:07] <uabn93> Dr_Willis: I want to install it on my system but was wondering if there were any risks i should know about before doing it.
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  worse case.. system wont boot..
[13:07] <kyxzme> Well well well
[13:08] <uabn93> Dr_Willis: then i would have to simply repair grub from live cd? or what would i fix that scenario
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  yep. live cd, chroot in, reinstall grub2 or somthing like that.
[13:09] <Hans_Henrik> Dr_Willis: i just need to get a list of all files with a specific name on the filesystem (perferrably with wildcard * support)
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> facme:  if i knew what you were talking about. I would answer.. no need to PM me.. I have no clue what you are refering to.
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: burg isn't supported here. You can reinstall grub2 from live cd
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  find would give you teh list at that time.. locate would access the 'database' so may not be current.
[13:10] <Hans_Henrik> Dr_Willis: what database? o.0
[13:10] <Hans_Henrik> Dr_Willis: is there some "search-indexer" function in ubuntu im not aware of?
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  the locate database.. see man locate, and the 'sudo updatedb' command
[13:10] <facme> oh...
[13:11] <jubelech> Hi there all, I have a question pertaining to tomboy notes. I love this software, but I was wondering if there is a way to have multiple words link to the same note (e.g. have 'USA' and 'America' both link to the 'USA' note)?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  locate used a database.. updaed daily. theres othe5r search tools out there as well.
[13:11] <Hans_Henrik> so i assume "locate" gives reults much faster than "find"?
[13:11] <facme> I will learn English well~
[13:11] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: and reinstalling grub would remove "burg," the thing i cant talk about here? srry.
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  thats the trade off.. speed vs 'accuracy'
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: it will put the default stuff in the MBR and reference Grub instead of burg. Your system should then be ok
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  you would have to remove burg i imagine.. and reinstall grub2.. i dont recall how i did it
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> i tend to remove silly eyecandy :)
[13:13] <uabn93> great. i think that's enough support. thanks for the help.
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: for locate to be accurate you will need to run: sudo updatedb   every time before searching with: locate
[13:13] <Hans_Henrik> that would kinda kill the "locate is speedy" part right?
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> or less often if your files dont change as much
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: if the filesystem changes very little then locate is great, personally I use find
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  locate scans the WHOLE system by default :) you can use it on a per user/directory setup also
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> so its back to depending you how you want to use the data. :)
[13:14] <susundberg> Hmm, no but how about for example sshfs mounted directories ?
[13:15] <susundberg> i guess it is resctrited to somewhat 'local' directories ..
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> I can use (for example) locate to index my 3TB of video files.. and easially find what i need quickly. keeping the locate database on that drive as well.
[13:15] <susundberg> (or how about crypted home directories -- the database should not (?) contain those filenames ..
[13:15] <susundberg> ye, for that it is good ;)
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> with sshfs - it would see it as a local dir.  locate by default does ignore speififc fileysstem types.
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> susundberg: if you can connect to ssh, you can mount sshfs (usually)
[13:16] <Hans_Henrik> why is locate's index much faster than the filesystem's list? i kinda find that strange
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  it indexes and sorts the whole directory listing...
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: locate keeps a database of files which is a file and is scanned, rather than the actual files themselves
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: hence the need to updatedb
[13:17] <nbubuntu1> hi anyone able to install gimp ? I am having problem installing at synaptic 404 file not found ?
[13:17] <jrib> nbubuntu1: pastebin the error
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: what is the output of:  lsb_release -d
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> nbubuntu1:  could be the servers are updateing, or similer. whats the server you are using?
[13:17] <nbubuntu1> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gimp/libgimp2.0_2.6.10-1ubuntu3.1_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gimp/gimp_2.6.10-1ubuntu3.1_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80]
[13:18] <nbubuntu1> That's all it said
[13:18] <jrib> nbubuntu1: did you see ActionParsnip's request for « lsb_release -d » output?
[13:19] <nbubuntu1> ActionParsnip : 10.10
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: that's not what it outputs
[13:19] <jrib> nbubuntu1: run « sudo apt-get update » and try to install gimp agani
[13:19] <nbubuntu1> ActionParsnip : The output is Description:	Ubuntu 10.10
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: thats better, when people ask for output, give the FULL output
[13:20] <nbubuntu1> ActionParsnip : sorry I though 10.10 is enough
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> archive.ubuntu.com is one of those 'picks from a list of servers' type addresses? or not? ive nver noticed.
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: see above ;)
[13:21] <sipior> nbubuntu1: it was. some people like to be pedantic :-)
[13:21]  * Dr_Willis gets out the dictionary
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: the filenames aren't the same as in the folder, the update command which jrib gave may fix that
[13:22] <jrib> to be fair it's pretty frustrating not to get full output but to get things paraphrased.  In this case it didn't really matter, but it's a good habit to get into
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> sipior: it also shows if folks are using non-ubuntu distros ;)
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: there is libgimp2.0   version 2.6.11 which may work but I'd try and stick to letting apt-get do stuff
[13:23] <nbubuntu1> ActionParsnip : I am installing right now "apt-get install gimp"
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: cool, so all is well?
[13:24] <nbubuntu1> ActionParsnip : yep , things really mess up when I try to install some plugin
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: as long as it's installing, that's cool :)
[13:25] <nbubuntu1> ActionParsnip : if you could help me abit with the package , having error compiling a refocus-it plugin which it outdated
[13:26] <nbubuntu1> ActionParsnip : it required gimp-2.0 gimpui-2.0 but using gimp 2.6 now
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> theres been lots of changes i imagine since 2.0 to 2.6  - it may not be doable very easially
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> nbubuntu1:  theres numerous gimp plugin sites and packages not in the default repos  - whatever that one does. may be another plugin can do that same
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: you may find a ppa for gimp-plugin-registry some place, or a deb
[13:30] <haluan> hello
[13:30] <nbubuntu1> Dr_Willis : I know that , but it's hard to find a good plugin , do you know any plugin for gimp to fix camera shake ?
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: maybe: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/gimp-plugin-registry-351-gets-129-new.html
[13:31] <haluan> @absolutblack:hi
[13:31] <crystal-cola> what's the key in the top bar? It says "Drop all elevated privileges"
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> crystal-cola: thats to drop the gksudo you used a little while ago
[13:32] <crystal-cola> I don't remember running any gksudo
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> crystal-cola: by default it has a grace period but you can make it end no (saves you having to re-enter your password a lot)
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> crystal-cola: or sudo...
[13:32] <crystal-cola> wel I don't think I've been using that
[13:32] <crystal-cola> so I don't know how that got there
[13:33] <crystal-cola> when I tell it to drop it doesn't go away
[13:33] <web_knows> rai
[13:33] <crystal-cola> what should I do?
[13:34] <crystal-cola> I can't see any thing suspicious in top
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> i never recall seeing any key. :) perhaps i neer looked
[13:37] <zvacet> crystal-cola: just click on it and it should go away
[13:37] <red2kic> crystal-cola: Do you see it still?
[13:37] <crystal-cola> it's still there, even after I click on it
[13:37] <red2kic> crystal-cola: "ps -aux | pastebin"
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> crystal-cola: try:   gksudo gedit     then close gedit, then kill the key
[13:37] <red2kic> crystal-cola: "ps -aux | pastebinit" <---
[13:37] <red2kic> crystal-cola: Install pastebinit first.
[13:37] <red2kic> Then we'll look at your processes. Whoops.
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> if he runs 'gksudo apt-get install pastebinit' :) then see if its goes away.
[13:38] <red2kic> crystal-cola: Try "sudo -k" -- See if that kill.
[13:39]  * ActionParsnip thinks guake and pastebinit should be in the default install 
[13:39] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[13:39] <red2kic> No way. For many good reasons -- Particulary security.
[13:39] <jaboo> hello
[13:39] <linjan> only english?
[13:39]  * red2kic tells newcomers to run "this command" and obtain juicy information on pastebinit site.
[13:40] <zvacet> linjan: yes
[13:40] <jaboo> yes sorry
[13:41] <nbubuntu1> ActionParsnip : thanks it does have more plugin ;-)
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu1: indeed ;)
[13:41] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: Dunno if you know about tilda. :)
[13:42] <crystal-cola> ps -U root -u root u
[13:42] <crystal-cola> that tells all the stuff running as root
[13:43] <MDCore> hey all. I'm having a problem with apache and php that no amoutn of googling seems to be fixing. Apache keeps serving my php files for download insteading of executing them. Does anyone have any ideas?
[13:43] <ShapeShifter499> I noticed that after a few hours of file system checks and fixes, that I could mount my drive just fine (even though the checks and fixes never got to the end) in a live cd and the data looked fine... so I searched and found out ANY ERRORS AT ALL would prompt the system to mount in read-only via fstab settings, so I changed that, should I be worried about my data? or can I just pickup and continue where I left off?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: yes, and yakuake for kde
[13:44] <red2kic> Yay! PHP files for downloading!
[13:44] <ShapeShifter499> I'm currently in the affected system right now, using the OS just fine
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: i'd grab the ultimate boot cd and test the drive as well as make SMART test the drive
[13:44] <am4zing`> hi gents what cammnd or series of commands would i use to track down the controller for a harddisk
[13:45] <am4zing`> for example sdc
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> am4zing`: sudo lshw | less
[13:45] <crystal-cola> well I rebooted and it went away
[13:47] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip, what about deleting all non-personal files, resizing the partition, then reinstalling onto a new partition, then taking my personal files and moving them to the new partition then resizing back to full space ?
[13:47] <am4zing`> ActionParsnip should this take forver to execute?
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: not sure, depends where the issue lies
[13:47] <madPJKfan> Hi - what is the best way to get media streaming from my karmic box to my PS3?  Is there an easy "outa the box" method?
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> am4zing`: it will take a while, then you will get output, use cursosrs to scroll and Q to exit
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> madPJKfan: can PS3 access windows file shares?
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> madPJKfan: there is no best way, just options
[13:49] <madPJKfan> ActionParsnip, can set up smb share, is that the trick?
[13:49] <sipior> madPJKfan: you'll want to have a look at ushare.
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> ushare is nifty.
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> madPJKfan: I also suggest you upgrade to Lucid soon as Karmic support ends when Natty is released (or very close)
[13:49] <madPJKfan> ActionParsnip, read a thing on fuppes - wondering what is the best - looked a bit urk.
[13:49] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip, well on a newer live cd (version 10.10)  I was originally resizing the drive to make room for windows and the live cd crashed and became unresponsive, so I HAD TO REBOOT, then I got the errors, the thing is it seems gparted never got to the point of resizing... so it just seemed to effect a few blocks, idk but my system seems fine right now as I'm able to use it right now
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> madPJKfan: if it can, it's an option. You can also use mediatomb or vlc to setup a stream then connect to it with your PS3
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> madPJKfan: there is no best anything in life dude
[13:50] <am4zing`> i assume lshw doesn't work on dom0 in xen
[13:50] <madPJKfan> Right - selection criteria is defined as "easiest/minimum effort, acceptable results"
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> am4zing`: I've not used xe so can't comment there
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> madPJKfan: if it can access samba shares then that will be easiest, I don't own a PS3 so am not familiar with its capabilities in this sense
[13:51] <madPJKfan> Dr_Willis, cheers - easy setup?
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> madPJKfan:  read the docs.. edit 1 config file.
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> rather simple. Mediatomb is more guish
[13:51] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip, what do you think?
[13:52] <Matr|x> my network card not working
[13:52] <Matr|x> help me plz
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: the random power off may have damaged the drive or/and data. I'd also test your RAM to be sure that it is not causing the issue
[13:52] <madPJKfan> Dr_Willis, once upon a time I used to edit smb.conf files, nowadays, I can't even find the built in gui for file sharing.
[13:52] <Matr|x> my network give 00:00:00:00:00
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> madPJKfan: you can use nautilus to setup shares. I always use smb.conf personally
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> madPJKfan:  i dont need a gui to enable samba..
[13:52] <Matr|x> plz any body help me
[13:53] <Matr|x> plz
[13:53] <Matr|x> p[lz
[13:53] <am4zing`> needed lshw -disable dmi :)
[13:53] <am4zing`> thanks mate
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> Matr|x:  perhaps give some details instead of flooding
[13:53] <ePax> Here comes onquestion about bugzilla. I run bugzilla on 10.04 LTS. Is it possible to change langugage on bugzilla?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> am4zing`: sweet, lad you got the data :)
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> Matr|x: have you been messing with mac address changers?
[13:53] <madPJKfan> I seem to remember you could get samba going with about 3 lines of conf - this was Redhat 4/5 days...
[13:54] <Sk|CIO> bro

[13:54] <Sk|CIO> .Help
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> madPJKfan:  i edit the smb.conf to set the right workgroup . and enable the homeshares.. is about alli have to to the defaults
[13:54] <Sk|CIO> !cmd
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> Sk|CIO:  ask a proper question please.
[13:54] <Sk|CIO> ok
[13:55] <madPJKfan> cheers guys
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Sk|CIO: please cease scrolling the channel, state your issue and if people can reply they will
[13:55] <Sk|CIO> ok
[13:55] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip, I don't think its the ram... because a official ubuntu 9.04 live cd works fine (I got it though canonical)
[13:55] <Sk|CIO> ok
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Sk|CIO: spamming the channel not only is pointless and annoying, it also doesn't help you
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: i'd still test it so you know its good rather than assuming
[13:55] <Sk|CIO> !sql usr_netsh20_2.shop_order usr_netsh20_2.shop_order
[13:56] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip, ya
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Sk|CIO: ask a question in english and it helps
[13:56] <Matr|x> sudo service networking start
[13:56] <Matr|x> networking stop/waiting
[13:56] <Sk|CIO> [Matr|x]
[13:56] <Sk|CIO> this
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Matr|x: ok, if you run:  sudo lshw -C network     does it say the device is disabled or anything like that?
[13:57] <madPJKfan> ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis:  Hm, in other news, PS3 does not appear to support samba
[13:57] <madPJKfan> another reason to hate sony
[13:57] <Sk|CIO> idiot is bot fake
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> madPJKfan:  it does UPNP i belive.. i dont own one.. so dont really care one way oranother :)
[13:57] <Sk|CIO> WTF
[13:57] <Sk|CIO> wtF
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> madPJKfan:  thats  one of the things ushare was made for. playing videos on a ps3
[13:58] <Pici> Sk|CIO: Stop that.
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> !ask | Sk|CIO
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Sk|CIO:  what part of ask a 'question' are you not understanding?
[13:58] <madPJKfan> rightio - XBOX, unsurprisingly, supports smb...
[13:58] <madPJKfan> daft sony gits
[13:58] <madPJKfan> (got PS3 with my sony telly - package deal)
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> glad s/he went
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> madPJKfan:  so install ushare, or mediatomb and get on with it.
[14:00] <madPJKfan> Dr_Willis, on my way!  Have gone slack for mediatomb - both are supported in the nifty ubuntu software centre
[14:00] <ManDay> will 11.04 come with gome 3 ?
[14:00] <Soothsayer_> how do I install flash in firefox 4 in ubuntu ?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  no.
[14:01] <ManDay> Dr_Willis: does ubuntu plan on going gnome3 anytime ?
[14:01] <ManDay> or is unity long term plans?
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  doubtfull
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: same as in the other versions
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> unity the next release also
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: natty is offtopic here until release day, ask in #ubuntu+1
[14:02] <avinashhm> Hi guys , I am on ubuntu 10.10 .. I am trying to start trace32 application, which used bitmap fonts .. but X-windows is ending with fatal error saying, bitmap fonts may be disabled .. more logs @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/596533/ .. can any one help me pls.
[14:02] <ManDay> Dr_Willis: what is doubtful? that unity will stay?
[14:02] <barf> is there a way to have sftp supplied by the sshd service?
[14:02] <ManDay> ok ActionParsnip
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> barf: it is by default
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Unity is to be the default.. for the next relase also
[14:03] <sarthorks> is the latest stable kernel version for ubuntu 10.04 "2.6.32-30-generic"?
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> see all the blog sites for info :)
[14:03] <barf> ActionParsnip: I am not able to make it work, where is it configured?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image lucid | sarthorks
[14:03] <madPJKfan> ok - so mediatomb is odd
[14:03] <barf> Do I have to enable it?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> barf: connect to it with something like filezilla
[14:04] <zyuan> hi
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> barf: with zero config after install openssh-server will give you X forwarding, sftp and sshfs
[14:04] <ManDay> Are there any prospects of Gnome3 in ubuntu?
[14:04] <barf> I am trying to connect to it with ecconectics DDR2 RAM backup
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> barf: try with filezilla to test
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: you can add PPAs and get it
[14:05] <lugkhast> ManDay: There's a thread about that on the Natty testing forum
[14:05] <Soothsayer_> ActionParsnip: how do you install in the other versions?
[14:05] <barf> ActionParsnip: can ncftp do it?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> barf: not used it
[14:05] <barf> I can d/l filezila to my mac...
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> barf: a quick websearch would have given you this: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> barf: you should try that a little instead of simply asking
[14:06] <Pici> barf: Does ncftp support sftp? If it only supports FTP it will not work.
[14:07] <Soothsayer_> ActionParsnip, doing so :)
[14:07] <zyuan> bnbnbnb
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: it will also make flash work in other browsers most times too
[14:08] <ManDay> ActionParsnip: I was concerning plans to ship it as default
[14:08] <Soothsayer> worked :)
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: not sure there
[14:09] <Soothsayer> I'm considering installing Nautilus elementary, any reason not to ?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: sweet
[14:10] <avinashhm> Hi guys, i am getting error related to bitmaps font when start my application .. more logs @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/596533/ .. can some one pls help ?
[14:11] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip, im assuming that will remove the default Nautilus ?
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: i believe it "upgrades" it..
[14:13] <sarthorks> Is this site for downloading stable kernels reliable : http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? (According to this site, the latest stable Lucid kernel is v2.6.34. While my system is up-to-date at v2.6.32)
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: not used it personally, not seen the point
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> Soothsayer:  its also a discontinued project i think. but im using it. :)
[14:13] <drdozer> hi - I've sort of got my G-pen stylus working
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> I like its extra features. so i use it. Not a big deal really
[14:13] <drdozer> but have got stuck
[14:14] <drdozer> my stylus is acting like a mouse for the entire desktop
[14:14] <Camer0n> what is the 375MB partition? I noticed, in windows, that there is another partition other than the one I created for ubuntu. Is it somesort of back up drive?
[14:14] <drdozer> which is 2x30" panels
[14:15] <drdozer> I want it to only be active within gimp, not as a desktop pointer
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> drdozer:  those things often have a absolute, or relative setting. relative = works like a mouse. absolute - like a touchpad.
[14:15] <drdozer> Dr_Willis: it's acting as absolute, addressing my whole desktop
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: may be a recovery partition
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> drdozer:  gimp also has its own specific tableyt settings.
[14:16] <Camer0n> hmmm
[14:16] <Araneidae> testing
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> drdozer:  i seem to recal my tablet had a mouse that worked one way. then the pen worked the other way.. but ive not had one in years.. :)
[14:16] <ManDay> thanks ActionParsnip
[14:16] <drdozer> Dr_Willis: yes - I can turn on gimp's 'window' mode, but then I see the stylus pointer 2x - once addressing the whole screen as a standard mouse, and in addition addressing the gimp window
[14:17] <Gurke_> hi
[14:17] <Milhu> hi
[14:17] <Camer0n> also windows is saying that the drive, that I thought was my ubuntu partition, is empty
[14:17] <Camer0n> http://vvcap.net/db/xEOBK_hlFPI-17xr8SUh.htp
[14:17] <Gurke_> na
[14:17] <drdozer> Dr_Willis: Ideally I want to dissable it from being considered as a pointer for the whole desktop
[14:17] <Milhuu> ..
[14:18] <barf> ActionParsnip: I tried Filezilla 10.0.0.9 user pass 22
[14:18] <barf> Quickconnect
[14:18] <kesor> i am about to install arch linux now, at the "select packages to install" should i select everything??? "space button and select everything on the list??
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: windows cannot do anything with Ext based partitions.
[14:18] <barf> Will that use scp? or sftp protocol?
[14:18] <perlsyntax> Has anyone use  androind phone as a modem in linux for mobile Mobile Broadband?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> barf: sftp should do it. I use andftp and it connects to my ssh port with no issue.
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> perlsyntax: whic version?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> 8which
[14:19] <Camer0n> okay, well for some reason I can only have 5 partitions on my drive, how can i give ubuntu some of the windows partition?
[14:19] <perlsyntax> i want to know before i get one to make sure it work with ubuntu.
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> perlsyntax: yes it can be done
[14:19] <hanshans> hi all! send bank account via email or don't do so?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> perlsyntax: http://egressive.com/tutorial/mobile-broadband-for-your-ubuntu-laptop-via-vodafone-3g-android-smartphone
[14:19] <JasseT> perlsyntax: htc wildfire & ubuntu 1004 work out of the box for me
[14:20] <sarthorks> Is this site for downloading stable kernels reliable : http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? (According to this site, the latest stable Lucid kernel is v2.6.34. While my system is up-to-date at v2.6.32. Why is that so?)
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> perlsyntax: I used my GT540 on Android 2.1 with Maverick and it was fine
[14:20] <Camer0n> any ideas?
[14:20] <perlsyntax> ActionParsnip,What package would i need just the data service
[14:21] <barf> ActionParsnip: I see that Filezilla connects to sshd, but how can I check the logs, which protocol is used?
[14:21] <perlsyntax> ActionParsnip,I was thinkking of getting HTC inspire 4G
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> perlsyntax: when the system is ready to update, it will update. You may use those if you wish but people helping will see you have a weird kernel and probably not support you. Is your kernel misbehaving and/or is hardware not working?
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> barf: sftp is the protocol
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> perlsyntax: should be the same gig
[14:22] <barf> even on port 22?
[14:22] <Camer0n> ActionParsnip, any idea?
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> barf: yes, ssh is a swiss armyknife of tools
[14:23] <perlsyntax> Yor say i have prob when do update and i just need the data plan that it?
[14:23] <barf>  cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config |grep sftp
[14:23] <barf> Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: what version of Windows ?
[14:23] <fairwinds> hi, am trying to do a bit of remote admin and getting 'sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo'
[14:23] <Camer0n> 7 ActionParsnip
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: then resize the NTFS in Win7 then resize the Ubuntu partition into the freed space
[14:24] <perlsyntax> ActionParsnip,I take it i need tethe
[14:24] <Camer0n> yes but my hard drive only allows 5 partitions
[14:24] <fairwinds> had googled and found suggestion to comment  Defaults requiretty in sudoers
[14:24] <perlsyntax> tether
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: the drive can have a LOT more than t partitions. You are RESIZING, not making a new partition
[14:24] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: then remove one
[14:24] <[TK]D-Fender> 4 PRIMARY may be the issue
[14:24] <[TK]D-Fender> 5*
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: resizing is making one partition smaller then making one bigger to give more space to the partition
[14:25] <windscar_> 。
[14:25] <Soothsayer_> Dr_Willis, sorry back. discontinued project, really ?
[14:25] <Ishwon> anybody from locoteams?
[14:25] <Camer0n> yes but ActionParsnip it makes the partition smaller whilst creating a new one therefore it creates 6 partitions and yes [TK]D-Fender but I need them all
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> ive seen windows come with 4 primary partitions in use befor on new machines.. made it a pain to get linu on the boxc.
[14:25] <Soothsayer_> im just going by the recommendation of omgubuntu
[14:25] <dhaitham> How can i add an already running process to sys-tray?
[14:25] <Pici> Ishwon: #ubuntu-locoteams would be the best place to find a LoCo resource.
[14:26] <dhaitham> my skype exists only on sys-monitor (processes)
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> Soothsayer_:  check its homepage.  check omgubuntu. I think they re  focusing on their own filemanager replacement ., not just tweaking nautilus
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> dhaitham: install alltray, run from ALT+F2 and click the app
[14:26] <Ishwon> Pici: joined...but no answer there :(
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: resizing will only make free space, not anoter partition
[14:26] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: Well it says "X max" and you have reached X.  I guess you have shot yourself down.
[14:26] <[TK]D-Fender> ^^
[14:26] <barf> Can I dist-upgrade to 11.04 by now?
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> barf: you could a while back
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> barf:  you could.. but its still in beta testing
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> barf: if you ask in #ubuntu+1 they will help with that
[14:27] <[TK]D-Fender> barf: Not normally until it is actually released
[14:27] <Camer0n> ActionParsnip, it still doesn't let me though becasue it only allows a max of five
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> barf: but it isn't ready or stable
[14:27] <Camer0n> and no extra free space
[14:28] <Camer0n> its stupid but is there a way round it?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: you can have an extended partition then make 15 more logical partitions therin and they will all work
[14:28] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: Remove one
[14:28] <Soothsayer_> Dr_Willis, "But hold on, they have now decided to restart the Nautilus Elementary project and PPA's have been updated already for both Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick and Ubuntu 11.04 Natty."
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: I found a nautilus elementary ppa with a natty folder
[14:29] <Camer0n> [TK]D-Fender, I have my windows 7 one, a system one, a recovery one that come with my laptop that i can't delete, I then have the ubuntu one and apparenly an ubuntu recovery partition, I CAN'T delete any
[14:29] <dhaitham> ActionParsnip - I installed that, it says 'click on a window to dock' - i click on skype but it minimizes it (windows style) to the bottom not to the top panel near clock / empathy and so on
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: https://launchpad.net/~am-monkeyd/+archive/nautilus-elementary-ppa?field.series_filter=natty
[14:29] <Camer0n> ActionParsnip, how do I do that?
[14:29] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: "Ubuntu recovery?"  I have never seen such a thing so yes that looks like an immediate target
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> Camer0n: you will need to delete a partition then make an extended partition, then make logical partitions on it. Deleting the partition will destroy the data
[14:30] <Soothsayer_> its going to be simple to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 when its out ?
[14:30] <Camer0n> lol okay [TK]D-Fender but I wouldnt wan't to delete one that I later find i actually need ?!
[14:30] <[TK]D-Fender> Soothsayer_: probably as much as from any other release
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> dhaitham: do you have the windows list item add to the panel and the system tray added also
[14:30] <nylon100> I need a good software to make a collage do you know one?
[14:30] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: Do you understand the term "between a rock & a hard place"?
[14:31] <[TK]D-Fender> camYuo want to move forward you will have to make a choice.
[14:31] <Camer0n> http://vvcap.net/db/xEOBK_hlFPI-17xr8SUh.htp << is the mysterious partition [TK]D-Fender
[14:31] <[TK]D-Fender> nylon100: GIMP
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> nylon100:  Googles picassa has that feature also
[14:31] <dhaitham> actionparsnip - ya  i do
[14:32] <Camer0n> how do I know what the partition is?
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> Camer0n:  window7 makes use of a boot type parittion also..
[14:32] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: So you have a small OS partition and large data partition both Linux based and you still need another partition?
[14:32] <nylon100> hmm. thanks
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> Camer0n:  normally at the front of the HD.
[14:32] <Matr|x> my network card not working
[14:32] <Camer0n> okay...
[14:32] <karan> can any one help me for kernel compilation in ubuntu
[14:33] <KNUBBIG> Hey, I've got a problem with my creative X-Fi Soundcard, after I modified the open source drivers from creative so that they now finally install, my microphone isn't working, either it plays what I'm hearing (tested in Teamspeak) or it doesn't do anything at all. Any ideas?
[14:33] <Matr|x> ../etc/init.d/networking start
[14:33] <Matr|x> not starting
[14:33] <Camer0n> no [TK]D-Fender for some reason I can't create new space if i have five partitions, stupid I know
[14:33] <Matr|x> my network card give 00:00:00:00:00
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> !kernel | karan
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> Matr|x:  wired? wireless? what make/model...
[14:33] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: No, so far you HAVE no free space
[14:34] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: You don't create space, you use it.
[14:34] <Milhuu> hi
[14:34] <Milhuu> i need help
[14:34] <Milhuu> 10.04 or 10.10
[14:34] <Milhuu>   ?
[14:34] <FloodBot2> Milhuu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:34] <bazhang> Milhuu, with what
[14:34] <bazhang> !poll | Milhuu
[14:34] <Camer0n> I'll be a minute and boot into ubuntu
[14:35] <Milhuu> okay the thing
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> Milhuu:  define your needs.. and pick the one that suits your needs.
[14:35] <Milhuu> unity, gnome3 is okay, but not my favourite thing.. so i must change kde ??
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> LTS or Not LTS ... thats the main point.
[14:35] <bazhang> Milhuu, not here
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> Milhuu:  use whatever desktop you want. they are easy to install.
[14:36] <drdozer> still no joy :( How can I disable my stylus as an in put device for the desktop while keeping it visible to gimp/inkscape?
[14:36] <Milhuu> Dr_willis, i want gnome 2
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> Milhuu:  so your problem is what?  the classic gnome is going to be in 11.04
[14:36] <Milhuu> yes but not more in 11.10
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> Milhuu:  there may not even be a gnome 2 by then.. who knows..
[14:37] <Milhuu> ok so i have to kde ??
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> Milhuu:  you do what you want.. you dont 'have' to do anything.
[14:37] <Milhuu> i want gnome 2
[14:37] <Milhuu> but i dont get
[14:37] <bazhang> Milhuu, thats enough
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> go use icewm, or lubuntu, or worry about it when it gets here.
[14:37] <Milhuu> so i have kde
[14:37] <Milhuu> ok
[14:38] <lilstevie> or keep the source so you can compile it yourself
[14:38] <Milhuu> no thats too much work
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> I imagine gnome2 will get backported  if its not in the repos..
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> or ppa's for some time.
[14:38] <bazhang> Milhuu, this is not the proper place for this
[14:38] <Milhuu> ok come all to #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:38] <lilstevie> backports
[14:38]  * Dr_Willis goes back to using LXDE
[14:39] <xskydevilx> Is there a way to associate a shortcut (such as using gloobus-preview with a space bar... How do I do that?)
[14:39] <drdozer> I'm not finding anything on google to help me :(
[14:39] <WXZ> if I wanted an external harddrive to only be mountable for certain users, how would I make that happen?
[14:39] <slipkid08> i need some help. im trying to boot meerkat from tge cd, but it just hangs at the splash screen. any suggestions?
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> slipkid08:  whats your vidoe chipset? have you tried the nomodeset option?
[14:40] <slipkid08> i cant even get to the live menu to do that
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> slipkid08:   the nomodeset options would be befor the Plymouth ubuntu..... screen..
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> Hit space (i think) when theres a little man at the bottom of the scrren
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> I think its a man.. and a keyboard.. some sort of icons..
[14:41] <slipkid08> ok. is your name steven by chance?
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> very very early when it starts booting the cd.
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  what filesystem? theres a user option for  mountpoints.. but not sure about limiting it to specific users.
[14:42] <WXZ> Dr_Willis: I'm not sure what you mean by filesystem
[14:43] <WXZ> you mean NTFS, ext4 etc.?
[14:43] <slipkid08> my professors name is steven willis is why im asking. so hit spacebar when the littl man pops up?
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  NTFS, Ext2/3/4, vfat.
[14:43] <WXZ> NTFS
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> thats the filesystem.. yes
[14:43] <WXZ> it's an NTFS external hdd
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  you may want to check the ntfs-3g docs/faq/homepage. If you want a SINGLE user able to access it.. that could be doable via the UID/GID options perhaps.
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  but if you want just 3 users (for example) and not these other 3 to access it.. that may be harder.
[14:44] <WXZ> Dr_Willis: does ubottu have a link to the docs?
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> WXZ:  or hit google for the ntfs-3g homepage for their faq.
[14:44] <slipkid08> gonna try spacebar rught now. we'll see
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> man ntfs-3g          also :)
[14:45] <slipkid08> i got to the install welcome menu
[14:46] <slipkid08> ok i got the live cd to boot, how do i force install from here
[14:46] <nylon100> Dr_Willis: As for my previous question about the collage: picassa looks great but do you know what program can i use to make a collage that is built up from many pictures where every picture is a pixel and all pictures create one specific image ( sry about the English)
[14:47] <slipkid08> usually it just hangs when i go to install
[14:47] <slipkid08> nylon100: gimp
[14:47] <slipkid08> sudo apt-get install gimp
[14:47] <airstrike> hi. i'm using screen in bash to work on different folders and for some reason, vim behaves differently within screen. after closing a vim editor in a screen, the bash log isn't displayed like it is on a regular bash session.
[14:47] <airstrike> how can i fix this?
[14:48] <nylon100> slipkid08: What function makes this ?
[14:48] <slipkid08> ctrl+alt+t
[14:49] <slipkid08> that should bring up a command prompt
[14:49] <slipkid08> then type in sudo apt-get install gimp
[14:50] <awk> Hi, erm I have a bit of a funny problem here, I have files named as such, ${EXTEN}_1289474871.48087.WAV however I can't scp them too a destination it doesn't like the ${EXTEN}
[14:50] <awk> what I did was scp -r * root@.....
[14:51] <nylon100> slipkid08: Yes, but do you know how can I make this? did you make something similar at the past? I'm already asking #gimp but just in case that you can make it shorter for me.
[14:51] <bibi> fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
[14:51] <baude_a> yo bibi waht's up ?
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> nylon100:  theres tools for that type of image.. but ive never used them.. i cant recall what you call that kind of image.
[14:52] <slipkid08> gimp is like a free photoshop
[14:52]  * Dr_Willis pefers Gimp to Photoshop.
[14:53] <bibi> lolz
[14:53] <slipkid08> Dr-Willis: i formatted the hdd, and its installing fime...so far
[14:54] <megalinux> ;S
[14:55] <baldaris> hey guys , I am having trouble installing tata docomo estick with my latest ubuntu tried installing with wine , but it does not does anything...can someone point me in the right direction?
[14:55] <nylon100> Dr_Willis: I guess that is a moasic image
[14:55] <nylon100> Dr_Willis: I'm searching for photomoasic and stuff..see what I can get. Thank :)
[14:56] <ha> 大家好
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> baldaris:  what Is a tata docomeo estick?
[14:56] <baldaris> Dr_Willis, hey its a usb pen drive for internet connection
[14:56] <Metallico> guys, have you heard of a service, where if your ip is not real you could hire one and redirect all the traffic to you? (if that makes any sense)
[14:57] <ha> dont have
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> baldaris:  a wireless b/g/n? or 3G? or somthing else?
[14:57] <ePirat> hello
[14:57] <genii-around> Dr_Willis: 3G
[14:57] <ha> hello
[14:57] <ePirat> is there a way to "restart" the ubuntu ui?
[14:57] <ePirat> i have the problem that i cant login because the ui crashed but i can still use ssh
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> ePirat:  sudo service gdm restart   - will restart X  and get you back to the login screen..
[14:58] <ePirat> Dr_Willis, how can i switch to command line?
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> genii-around:  i would check the forums see what others have done with it.
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> ePirat:  you said you can use ssh...
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> ePirat:  so ssh in.
[14:58] <ePirat> ok
[14:58] <baldaris> Dr_Willis, its 3G
[14:58] <ConstantineXVI> want to set up dns on my LAN's ubuntu server that hosts a few webapps; want to redirect $webapp.foo.com to it but just ask internet dns for $otherjunk.foo.com (ie: only set DNS for our local stuff), is this easily possible?
[14:59] <dumbi> hello ?
[14:59] <dumbi> hello ?
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> Jello!
[14:59] <Pumpkin-> ConstantineXVI: yes, you need to create a zone $webapp.foo.com, which contains all the usual zone SOA stuff, and the A/AAAA records for webapp.foo.com
[15:00] <ePirat> thanks a lot Dr_Willis you saved my life!
[15:01] <baldaris> Dr_Willis, http://www.tatadocomo.com/3g-e-stick.aspx maybe this might help
[15:01] <baldaris> there is not too much info with customer support guys for ubuntu
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> baldaris:  wont help me much :) ive never used one. I would say check the forums. perhaos someone else has used one and there may efen be a guide/wiki for them.
[15:01] <JuNeX> does ubuntu have netOP remote control software? like if my guest is windows XP?
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> baldaris:  dont expect help from the HW makers support. :)
[15:02] <ConstantineXVI> Pumpkin-: so if i'm understanding right, just don't make a zone file for foo.com, only the webapp domains?
[15:02] <baldaris> Dr_Willis, did that i use ircs as last resort to solve problems by google
[15:02] <Pumpkin-> yeah
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> baldaris:  ive looked at those 3g thangs.. but not bought one yet. I can teather my ANdroid phone :)
[15:03] <KNUBBIG>  Hey, I'm trying to install the Creative X-FI drivers, but I get the error "sound/driver.h not found", I know there was a solution to this but I can't find it. Anyone who knows what to replace in the files?
[15:03] <slipkid08> i can tether my iphone too lol

[15:03] <KNUBBIG> I got the drivers installed but now my mic is either not working at all or just repeating what I'm hearing in teamspeak. Any ideas?
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> noldon:  i doubt if thats going to happen any time soon.
[15:03] <popey> noldon: there's ways around that I believe, mods to make ET work
[15:03] <noldon> and i dont wanna install a custom kernel cuz then i probably mess things up
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> noldon:  i was thinking the ET source got released a few months back. perhaps a updated port will come out soon.
[15:04] <popey> noldon: pretty sure I have played ET ithout OSS
[15:04] <sandking> hey

[15:08] <Abhijit> hi
[15:09] <aar> Hello, I'm trying to install java on a Kunutu 10,04 AMD64 box. The package openjdk-6-jre 6b20 downloads OK, but just before installing it crashes. Any ideas why this is happening?
[15:14] <iceroot> aar: post the error
[15:15] <kpettit> can you run default ubuntu gnome classic and gnome3 shell on the same system?
[15:15] <kpettit> I tried it on 11.04 but it seems to be one or the other.  Can't get both to work
[15:15] <aar> iceroot, I was using kpackagekit rather than the terminal so the error message was very short (just "error installing blah blah"). I just tried again and got a "package already installed error". I did a "java -version" in the terminal and it seems to be installed now.
[15:16] <intick> hi all do you know a similar softwere to Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 ?
[15:16] <rumpe1> kpettit, theroticaly yes...  but gnome3 seems to have the bad habbit to damage gnome2 somehow..
[15:16] <iceroot> aar: dpkg -l packagename  gives ii?
[15:16] <kpettit> rumpe1, that's what I've noticed.  Maybe when 11.04 final comes out
[15:16] <Abhijit> intick, to devleop linux app or windows app? you want it to run on linux or windows?
[15:16] <iceroot> intick: luckily there is not something like that on linux
[15:16] <Abhijit> iceroot, lol luckily! :-D
[15:17] <kpettit> intick, depends on the language you want to do as well.
[15:17] <KNUBBIG> I got the Creative X-Fi drivers installed but now my mic is either not working at all or just repeating what I'm hearing in teamspeak. Any ideas?
[15:17] <DragonKeeper> how can i stream music/video over a linux network (no windows pcs involved)
[15:17] <arthurex> exit
[15:17] <iceroot> DragonKeeper: vlc can do that easily
[15:17] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, There are lots of different ways.  It depends on how you want ot have the other machines access it.
[15:18] <shcherbak> DragonKeeper: Music = shoutcast, isecast, mpd...
[15:18] <shcherbak> *ice..
[15:18] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, There are lots of web apps, you can use upnp, samba, sftp, etc.
[15:18] <avinashhm> Hi , i am getting bitmaps error, when i start my application .. more logs @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/596533/..can some one please help ?
[15:18] <DragonKeeper> erm is it possible to get the HDD mounted on a remote pc
[15:18] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, Yes, that's very easy.  And a few different ways you can do it
[15:19] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, the easiest way I think is to use samba.  Or sftp.  If you turn on ssh you can mount any location from the remote machine and bookmark it in ubuntu
[15:19] <genii-around> avinashhm: I'm pretty sure thats a windows application and not a linux application
[15:20] <mithran> DragonKeeper: tsclient has an option, but i think it lasts only while the remote session is active
[15:20] <avinashhm> genii-around, its trac32 .. its for linux ... basically has windows and linux , i have downloaded linux edition .
[15:20] <avinashhm> s/trac32/trace32
[15:20] <leapy0yo> hi
[15:20] <DragonKeeper> hmm samba i tried but it didnt work i just got errors
[15:21] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, if your just doing the normal ubuntu desktop thing you can mount anything you can ssh too.  That's a very easy way to do it
[15:21] <leapy0yo> windows 7 has it if you drag an ap to the edge of the horizontal parts of the screen then it changes the size and location of the app window... is that how do you do that in ubuntu?
[15:21] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, In ubuntu  click on the "places -> Connect to Server"  You can choose ssh or samba or whatever from there.
[15:21] <hihihi100> i exdecuted rm -Rf ~/.Trash/* to empty my trash, because the icon, trash icon, is gone, how do I make sure i have cleaned my trash?
[15:22] <kpettit> I'd suggest you try ssh sense it doesn't really require any setup other than making sure you've done "apt-get install ssh"
[15:22] <DragonKeeper> kpettit  ubuntu is the machine i want to stream from   a different linux used to  stream to
[15:22] <rumpe1> leapy0yo, depends on the desktop... kde-plasma has this behaviour as default
[15:22] <iceroot> hihihi100: that is not the trash-dir
[15:23] <kpettit> just make sure the machine you want to connect to has ssh.  Then on the ubuntu machine you want to connect from Click on "Places -> Connect to server"
[15:23] <kpettit> you can even bookmark it
[15:23] <hihihi100> iceroot, so what did I do?
[15:23] <iceroot> hihihi100: ~/.local/share/Trash/
[15:23] <intick> Abhijit: actually it's a small database extraction ASPX or PHP with VB scrips
[15:23] <iceroot> hihihi100: dont use rm on that dir
[15:23] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, that's how I connect to my local and remote Linux machiens to get files, edit stuff, etc.
[15:23] <yedek_p2> hello!
[15:23] <hihihi100> iceroot, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/empty-ubuntu-gnome-trash-from-the-command-line.html
[15:23] <iceroot> hihihi100: there are also info-files for the trash
[15:23] <DragonKeeper> kpettit  ok ill try that
[15:23] <iceroot> hihihi100: from 2006
[15:23] <intick> Abhijit: and Mysql ofc
[15:23] <iceroot> hihihi100: changed since hardy to the path i said
[15:24] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, just make sur eyou have ssh installed.  Then in the file manager on or the desktop choose the "connect to server" option.
[15:24] <Abhijit> intick, no then there is no such app for linux. but you can program in .net using mono. also if you are just looking for that vb 'style' software then try gambas. there is also qtmaker and glade for gui making.
[15:24] <yedek_p2> i use ubuntu 11.04 beta2 updated. How can i make the gnome-panels to do not strt any panel on startup. Because i use awn as default panel. ?
[15:24] <iceroot> yedek_p2: #ubuntu+1
[15:24] <kpettit> DragonKeeper, and if you don't like that you can always do ssh, upnp, ftp, nfs, etc.  There are a bunch of different ways you can connect data from one machine to another
[15:24] <JuNeX> does ubuntu have netOP remote control software? like if my guest is windows XP?
[15:24] <Abhijit> intick, though i am no expert in windows issue. you try asking in ##widows and ##programming
[15:25] <yedek_p2>  iceroot: ok . thank you.
[15:25] <Abhijit> JuNeX, tried teamvier?
[15:25] <JuNeX> does ubuntu have netOP remote control software? like if my guest is windows XP? and im the Host?
[15:25] <kpettit> JuNeX, what is netOP?
[15:25] <xangua> !natty | yedek_p2
[15:25] <JuNeX> @Abhijit nope but i will try it now
[15:25] <Abhijit> intick, ##windows i mean
[15:25] <intick> Abhijit: yes it's more about .NET  so
[15:25] <intick> Abhijit: mono you say ?
[15:25] <Abhijit> intick, if its .net then you can try mono
[15:25] <kpettit> JuNeX, what is it you want the machine to do?  remote control or support desk stuff?
[15:26] <hihihi100> iceroot, coul you please write the full command? Im a noob, what about rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*  ?
[15:26] <Abhijit> intick, go to ubuntu software ccenter and type word mono
[15:26] <iceroot> hihihi100: what about restoring the trash-icon and use that?
[15:26] <intick> Abhijit: kk find it on synaptic i'll try it thx mate
[15:26] <iceroot> hihihi100: using rm -rf as a "noob" is ALWAYS a bad idea
[15:26] <JuNeX> @kpettit remote & support just for my LAN network..
[15:26] <Shoryu> Ubuntu 10.10 x86: Hi... how do I enable core dumps for just root without logging into root and doing a ulimit -c unlimited? I already set the rules in /etc/security/limits.conf, but they don't seem to have any affect. Reason is I want cron jobs to dump cores if they crash
[15:26] <hihihi100> iceroot, my trash icon is gone since at least 5 weeks, and I cannot acces it, everytime I try it says that nautilus doesnt allow it
[15:27] <Abhijit> iceroot, in 'that' famours dangerous command is that /* or */  ??
[15:27] <kpettit> JuNeX, I like one called SimpleHelp.  it's a web app that uses java to basically do a vnc.  It lets you see os info/stats and remote control.  You can also setup agents and such.
[15:27] <kpettit> If you don't need remote control I like using BigBlueButton which lets you share desktop kind of like a webex.  That ones free/opensource
[15:28] <hihihi100> iceroot, I just tried to add a trash icon to my panel, I cannot
[15:28] <JuNeX> i see. thanks! can i use that in XP too? coz my dad PC is using windows
[15:29] <Aliceleveque> Hey, could someone please help me? I'm trying to print from Ubuntu 10.10 to a printer connected to a Windows 7 deasktop, but all the print jobs are called "remote Downlevel Document, when I go to properties it says the datattype is RAW
[15:29] <Frantic> guys, what's the easiest way to get php 5.2 on ubuntu server 10.10? php5 in the repos is at 5.3 :(
[15:29] <hihihi100> iceroot, I should see a local directory in my file system folder, right? Or do I have to go to usr? (~/.local/share/Trash/)
[15:30] <Shoryu> Anybody know about ulimit?
[15:30] <Abhijit> JuNeX, teamivers runs on mac,win and linux
[15:31] <kpettit> JuNeX, simplehelp or bigbluebutton is cross platform and web based.
[15:31] <JuNeX> Abhijit, i see thanks! by the way where can i get it? software center?
[15:31] <Abhijit> JuNeX, no
[15:31] <Abhijit> JuNeX, http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx
[15:31] <kpettit> JuNeX, if you just want simple remote control and viewing VNC is the easiest.  VNC is cross platform as well.
[15:31] <JuNeX> kpettit, thanks i will try that one too..
[15:32] <Aliceleveque> Could someone please help me? I'm trying to print from Ubuntu 10.10 to a printer connected to a Windows 7 desktop, but all the print jobs are called "remote Downlevel Document, when I go to properties it says the datatype is RAW
[15:33] <d1gital> I just sent something to the trash, (did not empty it) and when I try to move it back out I get "The URI "trash:///_AIM" does not refer to a valid resource in the trash".  How can I recover the files?
[15:34] <van7hu> hello, is there any option that take 2 arguments in programming?
[15:34] <iceroot> hihihi100: ~/.local/share/Trash/   who is the owner of that dir?
[15:36] <hihihi100> iceroot, you are asking for ls -l right? to do that I have to dir to that directory, right? If i write cd local I get nothing
[15:36] <d1gital> iceroot:  I'm not sure if you meant to help me or someone else, but you solved my problem.  Thanks!
[15:37] <hihihi100> iceroot, ok, I won all of it
[15:37] <hihihi100> i OWN
[15:37] <KNUBBIG> I got the Creative X-Fi drivers installed but now my mic is either not working at all or just repeating what I'm hearing in teamspeak. Any ideas?
[15:37] <hihihi100> me, not root
[15:40] <hihihi100> im in ~/.local/share/Trash in the terminal, how can I empty it? Me, not root, is the owner
[15:40] <terry> Is the -p switch for tar relevant, or does tar preserve permissions anyway?
[15:41] <iceroot> d1gital: great :) and i was not speaking to you :)
[15:41] <ikonia> terry: it's needed
[15:41] <iceroot> hihihi100: cd .local iinstead of cd local
[15:41] <dotblank> hihihi100, you should just be able to rm it
[15:42] <dotblank> hihihi100, rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[15:42] <dotblank> hihihi100, note it is really really hard to undo that operation
[15:43] <ITO> tu puta madre
[15:43] <red2kic> "rm -ri ~/.local/share/Trash/*" -- Yay! Interactive!
[15:43] <signornessuno> hi
[15:44] <hihihi100> dotblank, inside Trash, ls -l shows expunged, files and info, I should leave that tree structure untouched, if I execut your command, will it leave the folders there?
[15:44] <dotblank> no hihi
[15:44] <Navion>  I'm looking for some very quiet SFF dual core machines I can get refurb'd (cheap). Any recommendations?
[15:44] <dotblank> it will delete them
[15:44] <crescendo> what is this new chromium-browser-l10n shit?
[15:44] <hihihi100> dotblank, ok, so I will go to eaCH OF THE 3 FOLDERS AND CLEAR EM ONE BY ONE
[15:45] <iceroot> crescendo: we dont need that type of language here
[15:45] <hihihi100> sorry for the caps
[15:45] <iceroot> Navion: ##hardware
[15:45] <dotblank> hihihi100, you could use some find magic then pipe it into xargs rm
[15:45] <aeon-ltd> Navion: does it have to be dual core?
[15:45] <signornessuno> i have this error message using synaptic o dpkg  failed to read on buffer copy for elenco dei file del pacchetto "libesd0": Input/output error
[15:45] <LarsTorben> hi
[15:45] <hihihi100> dotblank, im a noob, 1st time i hear of xargs rm
[15:46] <dotblank> hihihi100, its ok to delete those folders those.. if in the future a program needs it.. it will recreate them
[15:46] <aar> iceroot, dpkg -l package name gives:
[15:46] <Navion> aeon-ltd: It's for broadcast automation and there is a lot of real time stuff going on. separate cores allows for some more real time threads.
[15:46] <aar> ii  openjdk-6-jre                 6b20-1.9.7-0ubuntu1~10.04.1   OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT
[15:47] <red2kic> hihihi100: Look in the Trash -- You don't want to save anything? -- Run "rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/*" -- Get over with.
[15:47] <KNUBBIG> I got the Creative X-Fi drivers installed but now my mic is either not working at all or just repeating what I'm hearing in teamspeak. Any ideas?
[15:47] <Navion> ireroot: is that the place to look for ubuntu HCL specific stuff?
[15:47] <ruan> where do i put a manually compiled package? it's lablgtk2
[15:47] <LarsTorben> hi ruan
[15:47] <ruan> hi LarsTorben
[15:48] <genii-around> ruan: The usual convention is somewhere like /usr/local/bin
[15:48] <dotblank> ruan, what do you mean manually compilied
[15:48] <red2kic> !hardware | Navion
[15:48] <iceroot> aar: then everything is fine
[15:49] <dotblank> if you use ./configure and make + make install it will place it in /usr/local (by default)
[15:49] <ruan> dotblank: ironically, i had to compile a dev package to compile another program
[15:49] <dotblank> if you use dpkg-buildpackage it should be in /usr
[15:50] <aar> iceroot, yes thanks
[15:50] <Aliceleveque> Could someone please help me? I'm trying to print from Ubuntu 10.10 to a printer connected to a Windows 7 desktop, but all the print jobs are called "remote Downlevel Document, when I go to properties it says the datatype is RAW
[15:50] <dotblank> Aliceleveque, wow.. now that truely is a printer error
[15:50] <hihihi100> ok, done
[15:50] <ruan> where should i put the folder so that it's detected?
[15:50] <andeeeuk> Hey everyone
[15:50] <dotblank> how stereo typical
[15:51] <andeeeuk> has anyone found a way to install flash player in wine?
[15:51] <andeeeuk> i need it for some browsers i have installed
[15:51] <signornessuno> ssuno> i have this error message using synaptic o dpkg  failed to read on buffer copy for elenco dei file del pacchetto "libesd0": Input/output error
[15:52] <ruan> maybe winetricks, maybe a proper install. lemme check wt
[15:52] <xangua> you can install native flash and browsers andeeeuk
[15:52] <dotblank> ruan, it depends on the project and how it is distributed if the program uses pkg-config you shouldn't have to do anything.. if it doesn't and fails to autodetect the include path you will have to manually pass linker and compile flags
[15:52] <ruan> andeeeuk: get winetricks
[15:52] <red2kic> !flash | andeeeuk
[15:52] <ruan> red2kic: it's for wine
[15:52] <crescendo> what is this new chromium-browser-l10n?
[15:53] <ruan> !info chromium-browser-l10n
[15:53] <ruan> language packages, as ubottu says.
[15:53] <fairuz> Hi, How to know the path of an executable that can be used systemwide
[15:53] <genii-around> red2kic: I'm not sure that applies to trying to run flash under wine
[15:53] <fairuz> let say gedit
[15:53] <andeeeuk> thanks guys!
[15:53] <hihihi100> i clicked yes to all those questions while clearing my trash folder, did I f*ck up? http://paste.ubuntu.com/596575/
[15:53] <andeeeuk> I have installed winetrick though can install flash in the browser
[15:53] <ruan> fairuz: whereis [command]
[15:54] <red2kic> genii-around: We can open swf under Mozilla or Chromium?
[15:54] <ruan> fairuz: or package
[15:54] <fairuz> ruan: ty
[15:54] <ruan> fairuz: if you type whereis gedit, it will show you all locations
[15:54] <red2kic> fairuz: which gedit -- that works too
[15:54] <genii-around> red2kic: Yes, but that is not the question they asked. They want Windows flash for browsers they have installed under wine
[15:54] <ruan> which doesnt seem to show as much output as whereis
[15:54] <fairuz> red2kic: ok cool, thanks!
[15:54] <red2kic> Ah.
[15:55] <Bluebill-Wolf> say does anyone know a good site that I can referance for apt-get commands?
[15:55] <ruan> !apt
[15:55] <ruan> Bluebill-Wolf: the link above should explain it
[15:55] <Bluebill-Wolf> as well as how to update firefox >.>
[15:55] <ruan> !ff4
[15:55] <Bluebill-Wolf> thaknks i owe ya a tall cool one
[15:56] <ruan> ff4 will also be in natty which will be released next week
[15:56] <zookalicious> ruan is there a list somewhere of the bang commands you're using?
[15:56] <andeeeuk> xangua: can you install the windows version of flash in the browser then?
[15:56] <ruan> zookalicious: bang?
[15:57] <zookalicious> ! keyword
[15:57] <ruan> uhh there is a command hold on
[15:57] <ruan> also
[15:57] <ruan> !ubottu
[15:57] <ruan> factoids lists em all, there's prbably a search command too
[15:57] <zookalicious> Great thank you!
[15:57] <terry> ikonia: tnx
[15:57] <Kevin`> andeeeuk: what's wrong with adobe's native linux flash that you would want the windows one?
[15:58] <hihihi100> how do I delete the contents of an external HD via terminal?
[15:58] <ruan> possibly !search factoidquery
[15:58] <ruan> formatting via terminal. hmm
[15:58] <Bluebill-Wolf> i'll post it now on my forums
[15:59] <wwwd> I'm trying to get sensors data from my laptop. (HP Pavilion dv7). When I type sensors-detect I get a msg back saying  " No sensors detected...handled by acpi" When I type acpi -t I get no return. Anyone know how to monitor system temp in Ubuntu? btw I can do sensors in opensuse and get system temp.
[15:59] <Aliceleveque> dotblank: I know, any ideas?
[15:59] <Lord_Nikon> hi to all
[15:59] <ruan> wwwd: xsensors?
[15:59] <ruan> !info xsensors
[15:59] <andeeeuk> Kevin`: I need a flash player working in a windows browser. I have installed the windows version of firefox in wine
[16:00] <ruan> andeeeuk: winetricks allows installation of the flash plugin
[16:00] <wwwd> hihihi100: I think it depends why you want to delete data.
[16:00] <andeeeuk> ruan: is there a command i can use as I looked this morning and it was not working
[16:01] <Polah> andeeeuk: Why did you install Firefox for Windows in wine? Firefox runs natively in Linux...
[16:01] <wwwd> I'll check xsensors out thnks.
[16:01] <toad__> silverlight for ubuntu?
[16:01] <Lord_Nikon> @nokitel
[16:01] <ruan> andeeeuk: simply run: wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks && ./winetricks flash
[16:01] <ruan> that'll take care of it
[16:02] <andeeeuk> Polah: I have been trying to get some webconferencing software to run and its not working in linux
[16:02] <Lord_Nikon> @--ccontrol
[16:02] <Lord_Nikon> system contorl everything
[16:02] <elb0w> Gnome3 ubuntu 10.10 thoughts?
[16:02] <Polah> andeeeuk: And it requires Firefox or a web browser?
[16:02] <andeeeuk> ruan: thanks :)
[16:02] <Lord_Nikon> boy's pleace tell my any program for music
[16:02] <andeeeuk> Polah: it needs a web browser
[16:02] <Lord_Nikon> withput vlc
[16:03] <Polah> Lord_Nikon, rhythmbox?
[16:03] <Lord_Nikon> another
[16:03] <ruan> Lord_Nikon: totem, rhythmbox, exaile
[16:04] <Lord_Nikon> aa 10x
[16:04] <ruan> Lord_Nikon: for terminal there is moc
[16:04] <Polah> Lord_Nikon, Banshee, Exaile, totem, Listen
[16:04] <andeeeuk> I receive an sha1sum mismatch when installing with winetricks
[16:04] <andeeeuk> slightly frustrating
[16:04] <ruan> sha1sum mismatch? hmm
[16:04] <ruan> tried again?
[16:04] <LarsTorben> hi
[16:04] <pentester5746> how can I check my memory usage?
[16:04] <Lord_Nikon> 10x dude's
[16:04] <ruan> pentester5746: free
[16:05] <ruan> pentester5746: also, system monitor
[16:05] <ruan> pentester5746: and top, htop
[16:05] <Lord_Nikon> Stereo MC's - Connected (music)
[16:05] <ruan> Lord_Nikon: offtopic here
[16:05] <wwwd> Any idea why sensors-detect tells me there are no sensors and why acpi -t has no return in ubuntu?
[16:05] <ruan> !ot
[16:05] <kpettit> pentester5746, I usually just run "top" from the commandline
[16:06] <pentester5746> upon boot and a 512mb virtualmachine is taking 1.5 gigs or mem
[16:06] <Polah> wwwd: Perhaps you have no sensors?
[16:06] <ruan> wwwd: have you tried xsensors?
[16:06] <wwwd> there is nothing returned
[16:06] <genii-around> I think you need the backend of lm-sensors or so
[16:06] <wwwd> I installed lm-sensros
[16:07] <Oppe> hey, in new ubuntu is there way to install the php5.2 and not php5.3 in which my current softwares don't work?
[16:07] <Oppe> i mean by commands like apt-get install etc.
[16:07] <genii-around> wwwd: Do you have some kernel boot option like acpi=off or noacpi ?
[16:08] <wwwd> Is'nt system monitoring part of the kernel and if so should'nt it wrk the same in ubuntu and opensuse?
[16:08] <wwwd> ginii-around: How would I know that?
[16:09] <ruan> Oppe: you could download the 5.2 package
[16:09] <ruan> or as a very last resort compile the source of 5.2
[16:10] <genii-around> wwwd: grep acpi /boot/grub/grub.cfg           and if you see a line with noacpi or acpi=off   that might be part of the issue
[16:10] <Alkarex> Hello, I need to make a quick demo to illustrate that Ubuntu 11.4 supports multitouch (with a multitouch 3M screen). Does anybody know a multitouch-enabled application on Linux? For instance, is there a Linux version of the classical paint demo drawing several fingers in different colours when they touch the touchscreen? At least, I would need an application illustrating a 2-finger zoom, but I find nothing for Linux. Any idea?
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> Alkarex:  ask in #ubuntu+1 . Ive not seen any Multi touych enabled apps..  Its possible theres a compiz setting for it.
[16:11] <Alkarex> Dr_Willis: Thanks, I will try
[16:12] <wwwd> genii-around: I get no return from grep...
[16:15] <wwwd> genii-around: Does acpi have multiple modules?
[16:15] <wwwd> The only info I am getting back from any option I try is battery
[16:18] <Bluebill-Wolf> somone mind helping me trubel shoot my ustream brodcast?
[16:19] <genii-around> wwwd: Apologies on lag, work required me. acpi has some different modules, yes, although I'm not sure what they all are. I believe it depends on the bios.
[16:19] <wcchandler> Bluebill-Wolf: xbox360?
[16:19] <ubuntunewvie> hi! I want use a 64bits kernel with 32 bits userland. How do I do that with natty?
[16:19] <Bluebill-Wolf> nope lappie
[16:20] <wcchandler> Bluebill-Wolf: Sorry then :(
[16:20] <Bluebill-Wolf> i need to conferm that the feed is working
[16:20] <Bluebill-Wolf> well if you can access ustream than it may work
[16:20] <ar__> Where can I find the ./configure in ubuntu 10.10??
[16:20] <ruan> ar__: in the directory of the application you are compiling
[16:21] <wcchandler> Bluebill-Wolf: I actually misread your sentence, I thought you said ushare, not ustream...  so I'm no help anyways.
[16:21] <Bluebill-Wolf> well then at least tell me this if what i've been hearing is correct
[16:21] <ubuntunewvie> is possible I install 64bits kernel in a 32bits base install?
[16:21] <Bluebill-Wolf> that to enable sterio mix i just need to copy the output tunnel to the input tunnel

[16:32] <tensorpudding> you double click it, and wine will run the installer
[16:33] <tensorpudding> then you just install it normally
[16:33] <ruan> might have to mark it executable
[16:33] <tensorpudding> oh, right
[16:33] <ruan> possibly
[16:34] <Guest56939> yes i marked it.
[16:34] <Guest56939> it started to install..
[16:34] <tensorpudding> okay

[16:37] <tensorpudding> Jesse088: you ought to read the manual that the heatsink came with
[16:38] <semitones> xangua, no, I installed natty on a spare partition, which installed its own grub2. I'm trying to reinstall burg to the mbr (it uses all the same commands as grub)
[16:38] <random123> Can someone explain this error http://thebrothersink.com/tmp/ss.jpg ?
[16:38] <semitones> i think I found it -- it's sudo burg-install /dev/sda
[16:38] <semitones> my hdd is called /dev/sda dont' worry
[16:38] <pfifo> where can i find the log of the channel?
[16:38] <Pici> !logs | pfifo
[16:39] <pfifo> ty pici
[16:39] <ruan> random123: try marking it executable
[16:39] <KNUBBIG> random123, sudo chmod +x
[16:39] <ruan> if it tab-autocompletes, then it's executable
[16:40] <ruan> marked executable
[16:40] <KNUBBIG> random123,  you might also have to copy the contents to the (virtual) hdd
[16:40] <perlsyntax> anyone in here use Att there phone as a modem for the internet?
[16:40] <KNUBBIG> Is there a way to get a microphone attached to a creative X-Fi Fatal1ty with the creative drivers working?
[16:41] <nhoc_t39> hi!
[16:41] <KNUBBIG> hi
[16:41] <nhoc_t39> do you know install Flashplayer on Ubuntu
[16:41] <nhoc_t39> help me!
[16:41] <tazz> could you cat me /etc/default/mysql ? (if you have mysql-server installed)
[16:41] <semitones> !flash | nhoc_t39
[16:42] <nhoc_t39> yes
[16:43] <semitones> nhoc_t39, actually that documenation seems a little out of date
[16:43] <semitones> nhoc_t39, just search for "flash" in ubuntu software center, and it will come up
[16:44] <ruan> tazz: i could install mysql-server quickly if it's not too large
[16:44] <viliny> hey huys
[16:45] <tazz> ruan, not needed, i am sure there are people here who have mysql installed :) Thanks for the offer though.
[16:45] <viliny> i made a new user, for my friend, but when he connects via ssh he only sees "$" on his prompt line and no path names or anything instead of the usual "user@server-paths" stuff
[16:45] <viliny> what could be wrong?
[16:46] <Theoretician> Hey I got a quick question, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and every once in a while when a lot of CPU is being used, some process will fade and look like it is in shadow. How do I stop this?
[16:46] <LarsTorben> hello
[16:46] <LarsTorben> Theoretician: which ubuntu version
[16:46] <kippi> hey
[16:46] <Theoretician> LarsTorben: 10.10
[16:46] <ruan> tazz: you could also ask in #mysql
[16:46] <LarsTorben> ok 64 or 32 ?? kde or gnome ??
[16:46] <LarsTorben> hi kippi
[16:46] <Theoretician> LaresTorben: 32 bit, kde
[16:47] <LarsTorben> ok
[16:47] <Tyrone> can i ask, i have squid on my ubuntu and if i install firestarter is it ok? it wont be conflict?
[16:47] <LarsTorben> i dont know, kde is much cpu
[16:47] <tazz> ruan, i am pretty sure someone will get up and ask me to go to #ubuntu ;)
[16:47] <Pici> tazz: I have mysql server installed and I don't have that file.
[16:47] <kippi> I installed 11.04 and all went fine, I then did the updates yesterday and now my machine gets stuck on the ubuntu loading logo. If I boot into recovery mode it gets stuck when you get the options, anyideas?
[16:47] <Theoretician> LarsTorben: do you recommend switching to gnome?
[16:47] <LarsTorben> whats your pc ?
[16:47] <Theoretician> LarsTorben: its a Dell
[16:48] <ruan> my pc is a pc too
[16:48] <LarsTorben> memory ? ram ? Theoretician
[16:48] <Pici> kippi : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[16:48] <van7hu> the boy is a boy :)
[16:48] <maco> Theoretician: the shadow thing is probably a feature in kwin similar to the one in compiz where applications that are non-responsive get dimmed
[16:48] <Theoretician> LarsTorben: Its not mine, i dont know the details about it
[16:49] <Theoretician> maco: ah, is there any way to stop it?
[16:49] <LarsTorben> okay but do you know how old is it ? Theoretician
[16:49] <maco> Theoretician: to stop the dimming or the non-responsiveness of the application?
[16:49] <Theoretician> LarsTorben: maybe 5 years?
[16:49] <Theoretician> maco: just the dimming
[16:49] <LarsTorben> i would recommend switch du lXDE lubuntu Theoretician
[16:49] <LarsTorben> du = to
[16:50] <maco> Theoretician: let me check my settings
[16:50] <maco> LarsTorben: i have a 5 year old laptop running 11.04 Kubuntu just fine
[16:50] <Theoretician> LarsTorben: ok, thanks
[16:50] <maco> LarsTorben: er no 10.10. didnt upgrade that one yet
[16:50] <maco> the 3 year old is on 11.04
[16:50] <pentester5746> on a 10.10.0.1 subnet what is the "/24" mean
[16:50] <LarsTorben> maco and ??
[16:51] <LarsTorben> i meant Theoretician
[16:51] <maco> LarsTorben: 5 years ain't that old?
[16:51] <ayecee> pentester5746: 10.10.0.1 is not a subnet
[16:51] <LarsTorben> MACO: yes.
[16:51] <LarsTorben> its very very old
[16:52] <pentester5746> ayecee: ok i am setting up openvpn, what would be a good subnet to not interfere with 192.168.XXX.XXX
[16:52] <ayecee> pentester5746: it may be an ip address WITHIN a 10.10.0.0/24 subnet
[16:52] <Theoretician> LarsTorben: I disagree. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a 20 year old computer my dad built from scratch and it works fine
[16:52] <Elirips> Hello all. How can I check which version of ubutnu that I have?
[16:52] <ayecee> Elirips: lsb_version
[16:52] <ayecee> oops
[16:52] <maco> LarsTorben: tell that to my pentium 2 that only finally kicked the bucket in december
[16:53] <LarsTorben> 20 years ?!?!?
[16:53] <DJones> Neoti: Can!version | Elirips
[16:53] <ruan> lsb release something
[16:53] <LarsTorben> i dont think so
[16:53] <ruan> !version
[16:53] <DJones> !version | Elirips
[16:53] <Theoretician> LarsTorben: yeah. It is ancient
[16:53] <maco> Theoretician: im not sure where the setting is, sorry. i normally have desktop effects turned off
[16:53] <Theoretician> maco: ok thanks anyway
[16:53] <nmvictor> Will the next version of ubuntu ship Gnome3?
[16:53] <maco> Theoretician: poke around in system settings -> desktop effects, i guess
[16:53] <ruan> nmvictor: it won't ship it, but it may allow it to be installed
[16:53] <DJones> nmvictor: No it won't, it uses Unity or a fall back of gnome 2
[16:54] <Elirips> Thank you! Nowthat I see that I have 10.04, how to upgrade to 10.10?
[16:54] <Theoretician> maco: ok, will do
[16:54] <Tyrone> can i ask, i have squid on my ubuntu and if i install firestarter is it ok? it wont be conflict?
[16:54] <red2kic> !upgrade | Elirips
[16:54] <ruan> Elirips: you don't have to upgrade yet though
[16:54] <LarsTorben> omg
[16:54] <maco> Theoretician: there are a few effects that involve dimming windows.  turning off excessive effects will get you more responsiveness too, as will turning off system settings -> desktop search
[16:55] <Theoretician> maco: ok, I will poke around and try some things
[16:55] <red2kic> Elirips: It's *just* me (and some for others) that we prefer clean installation over upgrades. You're on LTS (10.04) so you don't have to upgrade for more than a year.
[16:55] <nmvictor> DJones: Haa, unity? I hear it doesnt support Compiz? Is that still the case, if so I'd rather fall back to Gnome 2 or rely on HOWTOs to get Gnome 3 work(if ever)
[16:55] <ruan> also, 11.04 is coming up really soon
[16:55] <Roasted> pretty sure compiz works in unity
[16:56] <Roasted> which was the argument against gnome shell, as gnome shell didnt support compiz originally
[16:56] <Elirips> ruan, red2kic, I hope, that in 10.10 the package python-scipy is a little bit newer.. That could maybe save me some time ..
[16:56] <Roasted> not sure if that has changed, though
[16:56] <xangua> nmvictor: unity from natty uses compiz
[16:56] <Pici> !natty
[16:56] <Roasted> man. that's only a few days away.
[16:56] <nmvictor> xangua: Good news,
[16:56] <red2kic> !info python-scipy maverick | Elirips
[16:56] <nhoc_t39> thu dam
[16:56] <red2kic> Elirips: What version are you on (in 10.04).
[16:56] <Pici> Can we move the Natty/Unity discussion to #ubuntu+1 to keep #ubuntu clear for people that want support for current releases? Thanks.
[16:56] <ruan> !info python-scipy natty
[16:57] <red2kic> !info python-scipy lucid
[16:57] <Pici> !msgthebot
[16:57] <Elirips> red2kic, atm, i Have 0.7.0
[16:57] <red2kic> Elirips: I see that. See above (version release for maverick + natty).
[16:57] <Elirips> red2kic, and there are some symbols missing, that I need, I could either painfully compile the source manually, or just hope upgrading will work
[16:57] <Elirips> red2kic, thanks for your help, i'll try to upgrade
[16:58] <martin_> Is rhere a list of supported wifi cards for ubuntu 10.10
[16:58] <ruan> !hardware
[16:58] <red2kic> Elirips: I'd suggest for you to find PPA if it exists.
[16:58] <Elirips> red2kic, PPA?
[16:58] <ruan> !ppa
[17:00] <iqpi> does anybody know how can I difference between a hybrid .iso file and another that is not hybrid?
[17:01] <ruan> not sure what 'hybrid' means
[17:01] <red2kic> multiarch, I guess.
[17:01] <ikonia> there isn't an official multiarch image
[17:02] <red2kic> ruan: Apparently it mean ISO for disc and IMG for usb.
[17:02] <Pici> iqpi: Are you asking about an Ubuntu cd image? or just in general?
[17:05] <iqpi> Pici: in general, i know that ubuntu images are not hibrid (or i think so)
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> could be its a APPLE and nonapple iso/disk.
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> ive seen game disks that way befor.
[17:09] <andrea_> can anyone help my, im having trouble with my sound input
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> ive also seen cd music + cd data disks.
[17:09] <Vizzl3> Does anyone know how to completely flush all static ip routes from 10.04? (I've tried {ip route del ipaddr dev ipaddr dev eth0} but it just repopulates with old routes moments later)
[17:09] <andrea_> it only works when I amplify the receiver all the way, and even then it's very weak
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> andrea_:  try the alsa-mixer program and be sure all the sliders are slid up perhaps.
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> or was it alsamixer
[17:10] <nakaori> alsamixer
[17:10] <ruan> alsamixer
[17:10] <tyler_d> I'm trying to get the title of "gnome-terminal" to display the host of servers; even when I am ssh'd into other machines
[17:11] <pfifo> Vizzl3, im pretty sure you have to remove them from /etc/network/interface otherwise they'll get added back in automatically
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  you would need to set the bash prompt to send the proper escape codes I belive.
[17:11] <tyler_d> really?
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  if you are sshing  - then the prompt for the sshed box would be sending the coded.
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  check the bash prompt howto at tldp.org :)
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> If theres any other way to do it.. i dont know of it tyler_d
[17:12] <pkkm> How to move a logical partition out of extended partition?
[17:12] <andrea_> I downloaded another program pulseAudio, the sliders are all the way up but it's very weak
[17:12] <tyler_d> Dr_Willis: I set it in "Title and Command" and set the "Initial title:" to `hostname`
[17:12] <bastidrazor> tyler_d: it should do it automatically, on 10.04 mine does and have not tweaked anything in that aspect.
[17:12] <nhoc_t39> do you know install Flashplayer for Firefox in Ubuntu?help me!
[17:12] <nhoc_t39> do you know install Flashplayer for Firefox in Ubuntu?help me!
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  the esc code method would work with any terminal program (in theory)
[17:12] <tyler_d> bastidrazor: can you confirm your setting in "title and command" for me please?
[17:12] <andrea_> will alsa-mixer configure my driver settings?
[17:12] <xangua> nhoc_t39: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[17:12] <pfifo> tyler_d, you can always set it manually
[17:12] <Vizzl3> pfifo, I've removed the references to the old routes from /etc/network/interfaces but they still get repopulated
[17:13] <atlef> !flash | nhoc_t39
[17:13] <LAcan_> guys my google results come back in a foreign language... the results are english but all the meta like date etc are in... cyrillic or something. know how i can fix it?
[17:13] <tyler_d> pfifo: I do; but that defeats the purpose of the question right
[17:13] <bastidrazor> tyler_d: Replace Initial Title
[17:13] <pfifo> Vizzl3, are you using the network-manager applet?
[17:13] <tyler_d> bastidrazor: ty
[17:14] <victorhugo289> Hello, how can I put a program on the menu?
[17:14] <Vizzl3> pfifo, are you referring to system-->pref-->network connections gui?
[17:14] <bastidrazor> tyler_d: under command only Update login records.... is checkecked
[17:14] <victorhugo289> I mean a program that I run on the terminal, like "top"
[17:14] <Vizzl3> pfifo, are you referring to system-->pref-->network connections gui? (pfifo)
[17:15] <tyler_d> bastidrazor: it is.. still no joy
[17:15] <pfifo> Vizzl3, yes
[17:15] <ben42> hi, how do i get back the volume control on the ppanel ?
[17:16] <bastidrazor> tyler_d: the hosts i connect to i have an entry for them in /etc/hosts.. not sure if that makes the difference
[17:16] <xangua> ben42: add indicator to the panel
[17:16] <Vizzl3> pfifo, i never did before (this has been up and running with bonded nics for a while) but now that i look it has shown up with 'auto ethernet' and 'auto eth2'
[17:16] <ben42> xangua, indeed, thx
[17:17] <chegibari> Hello
[17:17] <ModFather> Hey There Guys, i have an Ubuntu Linux Box, and i want to Tar a folder that had folders and subfolders inside, the overal size is 60Giga and is not possible to Download it at once, is it possible to make the Tar In Pieces? Thanks a lot, any help would be appriciate
[17:17] <nhoc_t39> not succes
[17:17] <pfifo> Vizzl3, Ive always found that program to trump anything i do with ip, resolv.conf and interfaces. Perhaps try adjusting your settings there or remove it from your system
[17:18] <chegibari> Is there a way to download a great number of ubuntu packages and install them locally?
[17:18] <chegibari> I don't have a stable internet connection...
[17:18] <Vizzl3> pfifo, if i just delete these two listings form network connections, it'll work?
[17:19] <pfifo> Vizzl3, im not sure, i always opt to remove the entire thing when its not doing what I want, so dont really know alot about it.
[17:20] <nhoc_t39> do you know install Flashplayer for Firefox in Ubuntu?help me!
[17:20] <ravidar> hello!
[17:20] <aeon-ltd> !flash | nhoc_t39
[17:21] <atlef> !flash > nhoc_t39
[17:21] <tjiggi_fo> nhoc_t39, what is your home language?
[17:21] <galeon> chegibari, you may use Synaptic, then "File"->"Generate package download script"
[17:22] <thedoot00> Hi guys! How are you?
[17:22] <thedoot00> First time for me here
[17:22] <thedoot00> I'm searching help. I'm creating a digital board game about the Open Source and I need help to create the questions. Someone want help me? It's a cool project ;)
[17:22] <chegibari> galeon: I can only download stuff in an internet cafe where I can't run arbitrary linux scripts
[17:22] <FloodBot2> thedoot00: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:23] <ModFather> How i can make my tar file into pieces of 15G each one?
[17:23] <bastidrazor> thedoot00: the awesome brains in #ubuntu-offtopic may be able to help.
[17:23] <genii-around> thedoot00: You would probably be better off to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic , this channel is primarily for support
[17:23] <galeon> chegibari: You may update the package list using your own internet connection, download the packages from another computer, then copy them to cache. You may edit the script to create a batch script for Windows.
[17:24] <thedoot00> thanks guys
[17:24] <galeon> chegibari: You may still use wget for Windows.
[17:24] <thedoot00> I'll check it out
[17:24] <pfifo> ModFather, check out the program "split"
[17:25] <andrea_> I tried using Alsa, pulseAudio, and the standard volume control, and I can only get the mic to work slightly. Does anyone know what might be wrong
[17:26] <Bluebill-Wolf> say whats the command for finding out a version?
[17:26] <Bluebill-Wolf> in thermanal
[17:26] <Vizzl3> pfifo, delete from synatpic package manager?
[17:26] <pfifo> andrea_, check your input controls, should be an option for it in the gui, if not, run alsamixer and press tab
[17:27] <chegibari> galeon: ah it's a wget script. I may try that then. Thank!
[17:27] <pfifo> Vizzl3, yes, i think its spt-get remover gnome-network-applet
[17:27] <theos> hi! i have an hp laptop. using ubuntu 10.04. it has a subwoofer. how can i test if the subwoofer is working or not?
[17:27] <chegibari> galeon: there are no big images with extra packages to download?
[17:27] <galeon> chegibari: By the way, the cache is in /var/cache/apt/archives, I also used to do that.
[17:27] <pfifo> Vizzl3, apt-get remove gnome-network-applet
[17:27] <minion35> does anyone know the command to configure snmpd without manually editing the file?
[17:27] <galeon> For ubuntu, as far as I know, none.
[17:27] <andrea_> pfifo the input sliders in all three programs are all the way up
[17:28] <chegibari> galeon: ok. thanks for all the tips
[17:28] <sipior> theos: crank up the bass, i would imagine.
[17:28] <Bluebill-Wolf> say whats the command for finding out a version a program is in the termanal?
[17:28] <pfifo> andrea_, no idea then, that always worked for me.
[17:28] <KM0201> Bluebill-Wolf: usually programname --ver
[17:28] <theos> sipior, well the bass can be heard from other speakers too :D cant identify
[17:28] <mordof> trying to use isomaster, and upon trying to load an iso, it says "Failed to read directory tree: 'No posix extensions found'"  now.. i'm guessing that means i need to install something to enable this
[17:28] <arand> ModFather: Alternatively http://paulbradley.tv/44/
[17:28] <mordof> but i can't seem to find anything. anyone have any input on this?
[17:29]  * Bluebill-Wolf nods thanks
[17:29] <andrea_> pfifo do you how I do I find out what sound card /driver I have
[17:29] <Vizzl3> pfifo, i don't have that package installed
[17:29] <d1gital> I'm about to upgrade from Hardy to Natty, keeping my /home.  Should I wipe out the config files from the home directories?  If so, will "rm -rf /home/*/.*" do the trick?
[17:30] <pfifo> Andre_Gondim, `lspci` will give you the chipset and `lsmod` will tell you the module name
[17:30] <sipior> theos: put your hand in front of the subwoofer, and crank up the bass until you can feel the air move.
[17:30] <pfifo> andrea_, `lspci` will give you the chipset and `lsmod` will tell you the module name
[17:30] <galeon> Bluebill-Wolf: You may also need to use "--version" or "--help", depending on the program.
[17:30] <mordof> trying to edit an ISO.. no idea how, anyone know of a program or a way to do this?
[17:30]  * Bluebill-Wolf nods
[17:30] <theos> sipior, i tried doing it but could feel nothing
[17:31] <theos> couldnt*
[17:31] <arand> d1gital: That I think is not necessarily reqiured, I would rather keep all and delete only specific bits..
[17:31] <atlef> mordof, acetoniso
[17:31] <tjiggi_fo> andrea_, in alsamixer F6 will show you a list of souncard(s)
[17:31] <atlef> *acetoneiso
[17:31] <Bluebill-Wolf> is playonlinux better then wine when useing programs?
[17:31] <mordof> atlef: that allows you to modify the contents?
[17:31] <galeon> mordof: There is also isomaster
[17:32] <mordof> galeon: trying to use that, but i'm getting an error i can't figure out
[17:32] <tjiggi_fo> andrea_, also press F5 to show all available sliders
[17:32] <pfifo> Vizzl3, then im probbally getting the name wrong dpkg -l will give you the list of installed packages
[17:32] <mordof> galeon: tells me no posix extensions found when i try and open an iso
[17:32] <coz_> Bluebill-Wolf,  I would guess close to the same thing... one for games specifically
[17:32] <arand> Bluebill-Wolf: It is a wrapper for wine, so may simplify configuration somewhat.
[17:32]  * Bluebill-Wolf nods
[17:32] <andrea_> tjiggi_fo the Gnome alsa mixer is not responding to F% or F^
[17:32] <andrea_> tjiggi_fo the Gnome alsa mixer is not responding to F5 or F6*
[17:33] <coz_> andrea_,  no  open a terminal   type   alsamixer
[17:33] <minion35> Bluebill-Wolf - depends on what programs your looking to run, for games with a native installer, doom3 quake 4 etc yes, but it uses wine for other programs such as office etc.
[17:33] <coz_> andrea_,  they hit F6
[17:33] <tjiggi_fo> andrea_, what coz_  said
[17:33] <Bluebill-Wolf> i was thinking along the lines of the game "shark attack"
[17:35] <andrea_> all my audio card says is HDA Intel without a specific name, can that be right
[17:35] <minion35> Bluebill-Wolf: Don't know about that game off the top of my head, and I cant find it in the winehq site so i would suggest trying it with wine yourself and reporting to winehq if it works or what does and doesnt work.
[17:36] <Bluebill-Wolf> you got it
[17:36] <Bluebill-Wolf> . . . it says its missing a libary
[17:36] <Bluebill-Wolf> one moment i'll post the messge
[17:36] <galeon> mordof: is that error always shows up in all iso files you tried to open?
[17:36] <tjiggi_fo> andrea_, you don't have "default"?
[17:36] <mordof> galeon: yep
[17:37] <mordof> galeon: well, i'll try something considerably different and see
[17:37] <minion35> mordof: have you tried it with other programs?
[17:37] <mordof> minion35: i don't know of any other programs that can modify an iso
[17:37] <mordof> minion35: i've used the iso for burning/mounting and installing in a VM though - if you're wondering if it's corrupted, it's not
[17:37] <mordof> it works
[17:38] <galeon> mordof: Had you tried reinstalling isomaster?
[17:38] <Vizzl3> pfifo, i found four listings: one network manager framework daemon, gnome frontend, pptp plugin and pptp plugin/gnome ui) i take it the daemon needs to be deleted along with the other three?
[17:38] <mordof> hmm
[17:38] <mordof> galeon: a different iso opens :\ that's rediculous
[17:39] <mordof> galeon: an iso without a bootable section mind you - and a windows one at that
[17:39] <lionzw> is it dangerous to install applications via apt-get where there is a warning about security. i'm talking about codecs for dvd, mp3 and other items not supported by ubuntu?
[17:39] <theos> hi! i have an hp laptop. using ubuntu 10.04. it has a subwoofer. how can i test if the subwoofer is working or not?
[17:39] <minion35> mordof: have you tried kriso? its in the repos I think it allows you to edit it.
[17:39] <mordof> minion35: will do
[17:39] <minion35> lionzw: no its fine
[17:39] <Vizzl3> lionzw, yeah its safe as long as its a trusted source (reputable website)
[17:39] <mordof> minion35: not in the repos
[17:39] <DRDRoDRo> hey dude man
[17:39] <bedjoe000> hi all i'm new in ubuntu
[17:39] <dyllan> Hi guys, where do i get support for Ubuntu LTSP ?
[17:39] <DRDRoDRo> welcome dude man
[17:40] <DRDRoDRo> welcome to the ubuntu dude
[17:40] <pfifo> Vizzl3, that sounds like the correct package, if you remove the base package, apt will tell you what deps are no longer needed, so you could them go remove them.
[17:40] <mordof> minion35: you sure you typed it right? not getting anything even in google under that name
[17:41] <minion35> mordof: sorry type its kiso
[17:41] <zaksoldier> hi
[17:41] <GreenNerd> What command do I use to update to Firefox 4?  I downloaded it from their site, but I am struggling to understand what I'm supposed to do.
[17:41] <ruan> !ff4
[17:41] <mordof> minion35: grabbing it now
[17:41] <zaksoldier> how to repair the ubuntu 10.10
[17:41] <zaksoldier> is there code
[17:42] <minion35> mordof: good, hope it works man.
[17:42] <minion35> zaksoldier: whats wrong with it?
[17:42] <rumpe1> lionzw, the warnings arent about security but about licence issues
[17:42] <DRDRoDRo> xDxD
[17:42] <mordof> minion35: likewise, heh.. i got OS X 10.6 running in VBox, but i can't drop the EFI boot disc.. so i'm trying to change the resolution based on the data in the boot disc, lol
[17:42] <soreau> GreenNerd: Just use the ppa to install ff4
[17:42] <soreau> way easier
[17:42] <mordof> minion35: the boot disc keeps resetting it afterall
[17:43] <lionzw> rumpel there are security related warnings also, in the sources file
[17:43] <minion35> mordof: Sounds like a horrible way of changing res.
[17:43] <mordof> minion35: indeed, but it won't matter once it's changed - i don't intend on constantly resizing it
[17:43] <galeon> mordof: If you're trying to open a Windows installer ISO, I won't recommend isomaster.
[17:43] <GreenNerd> soreau, PPA?
[17:44] <mordof> galeon: nothing to do with Windows, trying to open an EFI boot disc
[17:44] <soreau> ! ppa | GreenNerd
[17:44] <mordof> minion35: worked :D
[17:44] <galeon> mordof: ah, ok.
[17:44] <minion35> mordof: glad to hear. :)
[17:44] <zaksoldier> some times after the pc not properly shutdown and startup it says the ****** applet like this delete or not delete

[17:47] <lionzw> well i'm paying one dollar per bloody five megs here in zimbabwe (CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!) does anyone know on average how many megs per hour of bandwidth to idle in this channel?
[17:48] <KM0201> lionzw: probbaly enough that i wouldn't do it.
[17:48] <sipior> lionzw: i'm guessing not very many.
[17:48] <ruan> irc doesnt take much bandwidth
[17:48] <KM0201> yeah, its just text, so.. in theory, it should be fairly low.
[17:48] <mordof> minion35: opened it.. didn't save the ISO or manage it very well ;_;
[17:49] <red2kic> five megs? as in 5MB?
[17:49] <KM0201> red2kic: i was wondering fi that wsa a typo as well.
[17:49] <theos> lionzw, see the raw data/log. you wont use irc after that. but its just text dont worry :)
[17:49] <HypothesisFrog> hi. Where would an audio CD be on my file system? I have it inserted, it shows up on my desktop, but there's nothing in /cdrom .
[17:49] <Vizzl3> pfifo, now upon a /etc/init.d/networking restart --> SIOCADDRT: No such process Failed to bring up bond0
[17:49] <red2kic> KM0201: Indeed. If that's true, I wouldn't idle. Not for half hour.
[17:49] <minion35> mordof: sorry man only thing I can think of.
[17:50] <lionzw> yes
[17:50] <red2kic> Get in. Discuss. Get out.
[17:50] <KM0201> red2kic: i wouldn't idle for 10min... i'd take up model airplanes.. it'd be cheaper.
[17:50] <minion35> HtpothesisisFrog: Places > Computer > CD/DVD Drive.
[17:50] <Vizzl3> pfifo, I've had this problem before and I've scoured the forums looking for an answer
[17:50] <lionzw> just dont portscan me once i leave anyway later
[17:50] <HypothesisFrog> minion35 thanks but I want to be able to find it via the terminal
[17:51] <HypothesisFrog> what's its location?
[17:51] <galeon> mordof: Maybe you need to tweak some options? Because windows iso's needs a lot of tweaking to work.
[17:51] <KM0201> lol
[17:51] <minion35> HypothesisFrog: cd /media
[17:51] <GreenNerd> What command do I use to update to Firefox 4?  I downloaded it from their site, but I am struggling to understand what I'm supposed to do.
[17:51] <theos> hi! i have an hp laptop. using ubuntu 10.04. it has a subwoofer. how can i test if the subwoofer is working or not?
[17:51] <ruan> !ff4 | GreenNerd
[17:51] <mordof> galeon: again, this has -nothing- to do with Windows
[17:51] <HypothesisFrog> minion35 it's not there
[17:51] <pfifo> Vizzl3, sounds like you may have removed something important. what all did you remover?
[17:51] <mordof> galeon: this is a nawcomModCD
[17:52] <mordof> EFI boot disk
[17:52]  * KM0201 <3's FF4
[17:52] <mordof> galeon: completely unrelated to windows
[17:52] <HypothesisFrog> minion35 it appears on my desktop, but I can't find it in the terminal
[17:52] <minion35> HypothesisFrog: check the desktop.
[17:52] <Vizzl3> pfifo, only network manager and its associated packages (4 in total)
[17:52] <galeon> mordof: I mean some type of ISO's needs some options, not only Windows ISO's.
[17:52] <HypothesisFrog> minion35 see above
[17:52] <GreenNerd> ruan, Can you give me "the command" that can do this?  I do not understand how PPA works.
[17:52] <Vizzl3> how can i completely reset everything related to networking including static routes without reinstalling os?
[17:52] <minion35> HypothesisFrog: cd /home/"yourusername"/Desktop
[17:52] <ruan> GreenNerd: it gives you the command: sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo  apt-get install firefox
[17:52] <mordof> galeon: possibly.. but i have no idea what those would be or how to put them into place
[17:52] <Vizzl3> pfifo, how can i completely reset everything related to networking including static routes without reinstalling os?
[17:53] <galeon> mordof: Is it an OS X boot disk?
[17:53] <pfifo> Vizzl3, add those packages back in
[17:53] <mordof> galeon: *nods*
[17:53] <HypothesisFrog> minion35 I can't find the file system location for it there either.
[17:54] <mordof> galeon: i wonder if OS X has an iso modifier
[17:54] <mordof> for it
[17:54] <mordof> that'd probably be more reliable, lol
[17:54] <minion35> HypothesisFrog: cd /dev/cdrom ?
[17:55] <kazuki_> what do you guys think of gnome3?
[17:55] <kurth> hello all
[17:55] <HypothesisFrog> minion35 bash: cd: /dev/cdrom: Not a directory
[17:55] <kurth> I'm having a bit of an odd problem with the 11.04 installer
[17:55] <kazuki_> ok
[17:56] <ruan> HypothesisFrog: cd /media && ls
[17:56] <Vizzl3> pfifo, no address with hostname, i can't retrive any packages because i can't connect to the internet
[17:56] <galeon> mordof: I'll try searching in google.
[17:56] <Vizzl3> pfifo, *retrieve
[17:56] <kurth> in a nutshell, it does not progress pass the "slideshow" portion of the install....it just sits there, doing nothing.  There are no processes that are active, no net traffic....very odd.  Any help?
[17:56] <HypothesisFrog> ruan it's not in there
[17:57] <HypothesisFrog> ruan it's not in /cdrom either
[17:57] <minion35> HypothesisFrog: did you run Ruan's full command?
[17:57] <HypothesisFrog> ruan gnome desktop has loaded it, and it appears in nautilus. But I just want to work out where the filesystem location is.
[17:57] <pfifo> Vizzl3, use ip to setup your network
[17:58] <HypothesisFrog> minion35 yessir. It ain't in /media as I said before.
[17:58] <Pici> HypothesisFrog: Music CDs are not mounted normally. Your applications play music directly from their /dev/ entry.
[17:59] <HypothesisFrog> Pici oh ok. What do I do if I really want access to the .wav files on there?
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> theres fake ways of mounting a audio cd. so it appears as a bunch of wav or mp3 or other type files ive seen
[18:00] <pfifo> Vizzl3, but well, to get rid of that error, you need to modify networking startup scripts to your needs, right now its still using its setup for network daemon
[18:01] <rizz1> hello
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> hi
[18:03] <rizz1> anyone know to open files on a locked microSD card
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> locked as in write-protected?

[18:06] <galeon> ah ok, thanks

[18:14] <ubuntu> co z instalacją?
[18:14] <Kage> is 11.04 out yet?
[18:14] <ThinkT510> !11.04 | kage
[18:15] <Logan_> !pl | ubuntu
[18:15] <Kage> ThinkT510: alright, thanks
[18:15] <ThinkT510> Kage: np
[18:15] <ubuntu> i need some help
[18:15] <ubuntu> or some information
[18:15] <bedjoe000> is there anyone here from indonesia ????
[18:16] <Logan_> !indonesia | bedjoe000
[18:16] <zaksoldier> hi
[18:16] <ThinkT510> ubuntu: what do you need help with?
[18:16] <Kage> ThinkT510: about time for a reinstall... can't wait :)
[18:16] <zaksoldier> is there any code
[18:16] <zaksoldier> for repair ubuntu 10.10
[18:17] <ubuntu> i have a win on my computer and i want instal ubuntu
[18:17] <bedjoe000> hahaha... okay thanks a lot dude, are u from indonesia ?
[18:17] <Kage> though.... debian does look interesting... maybe Ill put it on my laptop
[18:17] <sipior> zaksoldier: i'm sure there's code, somewhere. care to be more specific about the problem you're having?
[18:17] <Adom> having a problem formatting an external drive using Disk Utility, says drive is busy no matter what i do. need a command-line command to force reformat of the drive. drive has two partitions, so location is /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdb2.
[18:17] <Logan_> bedjoe000: Nope - just the bot response. :)
[18:17] <ThinkT510> !install | ubuntu
[18:17] <ubuntu> on hard drive I have 3 partition
[18:17] <kl_> bedjoe000: It is a bot
[18:18] <ThinkT510> Kage: i'm looking forward to xubuntu myself, more of an xfce guy
[18:18] <zaksoldier> maybe on the F1 while boot
[18:19] <ubuntu> on 1 i want ubuntu, but 2 other i want to keep safe
[18:19] <Kage> ThinkT510: I use kubuntu... but the issue I have... is I install a lot of packages, 90% I never use more then once... so about 6 months, a reinstall is nice because I have a fresh system :)
[18:19] <amin_> hi  about virtual box I have this Q? if you have installed freebsd for example in the ext4 drive does this mean that the  amount of hard which you determined while installation would change from ext4 to ufts which is the bsd filesystem???
[18:19] <zaksoldier> ubuntu : is it good to install ubuntu 10.10 with windows
[18:20] <Kage> ThinkT510: of course, I backup all my personal data
[18:20] <erUSUL> amin_: no
[18:20] <tew88> Fullscreen Flash playback is really quite choppy. Are there any well-known fixes for this problem? Ubuntu 10.10.
[18:20] <ThinkT510> !partition | ubuntu
[18:20] <bedjoe000> i'm dual booting my ubuntu with windows
[18:20] <erUSUL> amin_: you have a file in the ext4 filesystem that contains the ufs filesystem
[18:21] <ThinkT510> Kage: i keep my personal files on a seperate partition, nothing to backup really, then fresh install every release
[18:21] <ubuntu> do ubuntu work with ntfs?
[18:21] <amin_> you mean ctually no changer in the actual hard drive file sytem would happen
[18:21] <zaksoldier> on ext3
[18:21] <red2kic> Kage: Debian is nice. You get that gnome-desktop environment with slightly few more packages.
[18:21] <Kage> ThinkT510: I do to, but even the home directory gets dirty after awhile
[18:21] <ThinkT510> ubuntu: you can access ntfs partitions but you can't install onto ntfs
[18:21] <red2kic> Kage: Dirty? As in too many .hidden folders?
[18:21] <Kage> red2kic: yes
[18:22] <Kage> for example
[18:22] <zaksoldier> but with windows he will make a file inside it is ext3
[18:22] <Kage> and too much in Downloads/
[18:22] <ubuntu> read and write?
[18:22] <ThinkT510> ubuntu: yes, with ntfs-3g
[18:22] <red2kic> Kage: Heh. If you have the folders exposed, you get the mentality of dirty folders. Sure, clean them out every 6 months, not every day.
[18:22] <zaksoldier> on ext3 man
[18:23] <red2kic> Kage: I have ~/Downloads and ~/Cesspool
[18:23] <ubuntu> many thanks ThinkT510
[18:23] <ThinkT510> ubuntu: no problem
[18:23] <Kage> red2kic: I really like to know what every file in my ~ is for
[18:25] <ThinkT510> Kage: you'll get the hang of it over time, i learned a lot when installing arch
[18:25] <red2kic> Kage: Me too. Don't go after them too much. Files can overwrite files all times. I don't care.
[18:25] <Kage> ThinkT510: well I have been using Linux for....
[18:25]  * Kage counts on his fingers
[18:25] <Kage> 9 years
[18:26] <Kage> ThinkT510: I have used almost every distro you could think of minus Slackware and Arch
[18:26]  * CrowX- gives Kage a medal
[18:26] <Kage> though I hear lots of good things about Arch
[18:26] <zaksoldier> i think thats a code in the F1 to repair
[18:26] <red2kic> Kage: Even gentoo?
[18:26] <Kage> red2kic: yes, even gentoo
[18:26] <Kage> for 6 months
[18:26] <red2kic> Kage: You compiled everything or you used some kind of LiveCD?
[18:27] <aeon-ltd> Kage: heh only ever used *buntus and arch properly the rest i used dumped in less than 1 hour, i found arch was all i needed
[18:27] <Kage> red2kic: until I relized I compiled things more then I used my computer
[18:27] <Kage> red2kic: I compiled everything
[18:27] <ohsix> is there any way to change how many entries the run dialogue keeps? (alt+f2) i dug around gconf and couldn't find anything
[18:27] <ikonia> any reason this is being discussed in #ubuntu rather than #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[18:27] <ThinkT510> Kage: that explains a bit, slack and arch tend not to hide configuration and actively encourage it, much like the bsds, but gentoo should have taught you quite a bit
[18:27] <CrowX-> ikonia, probably cause 'ubuntu-offtopic' is too long to type to join :p
[18:27] <Kriss-|-> Greetings, I'm trying to a "cp -R -p /* /media/newdisc/" to move the ubuntu installation to another drive, and i get: "preserving permissions for `/media/SYS/dev/sr0': Operation not supported" Any suggestions ?
[18:28] <Kage> anyways, I use ubuntu mostly now because I ubuntu requires the least maintence
[18:28] <red2kic> Kage: Go for Arch. Give it a try. :) [end of the discussion on my part]
[18:28] <Kage> after awhile you get tried of compiling, and just wanna do work
[18:28] <CrowX-> Kage, and it also randomly freezes the screen every once in a while
[18:28] <ikonia> guys - enough please
[18:28] <ikonia> try #ubuntu-offtopic, this channels for ubuntu discussion
[18:28] <CrowX-> sorry ikonia
[18:28] <aeon-ltd> ikonia: yeah sorry for steering into !ot
[18:29] <ThinkT510> ikonia: sorry, shall keep it on-topic
[18:31] <DragonKeeper> how do i get a cloak on my host ?

[18:37] <stefg> theos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound . There are specila test files available on the net which go through your speakers. google should turn them up
[18:37] <zaksoldier> did any one went to the boot of ubuntu and pressed F1
[18:37] <cl0se> He is saying that on Ubuntu server, there are multiple user accounts, and he wants to leave a message for a user when they log in. on the server ioeratubg system, NOTHING to do with freenode.
[18:37] <elf__> pfifo: on ubuntu
[18:37] <zaksoldier> yes
[18:37] <cl0se> ioeratubg = operating.
[18:37] <theos> mbeierl, mine doesnt have an option "test speakers"
[18:37] <ThinkT510> cl0se: oh i see, thanks
[18:38] <mbeierl> theos: sorry - on 10.10 here.  your version?
[18:38] <anonymity> anyone know anything about installing Themes? I have been trying to install one called Trinitry Adaptation. When I try to use the Themes installer in System/Preferences/Apperance it cant find the theme.

[18:39] <elf__> kill fred__ -9
[18:39] <stefg> anonymity: trinity sounds KDE'ish ... you use gnome, right?
[18:39] <zaksoldier> can any one help me
[18:39] <elf__> sounds like the lord of the ringings
[18:39] <theos> galeon, hardware tab has "choose a device"
[18:39] <stefg> !pm anonymity
[18:40] <stefg> !pm | anonymity
[18:40] <galeon> theos: There is a combo box and "Test Speakers" button below, but I'm currently using 10.10
[18:40] <anonymity> yes, I use it
[18:41] <theos> galeon, ok thanks. but i dont want to upgrade. i like lts :)
[18:41] <Athlon1600> can any of you recommend me a file editor that works over SSH?
[18:41] <stefg> anonymity: systemwide themes live in /usr/share/themes , personal ones in ~/.themes. Keep in mind you need the right gtk-engine for your theme
[18:41] <ruan> Athlon1600: nano, emacs
[18:41] <elf__> nano
[18:41] <theos> Athlon1600, nano
[18:41] <mbeierl> theos: ah.  if I select my webcam audio, I do not have the option to test speakers, so it might be hardware capability related.
[18:42] <CodeGnome> I'm trying to bind-mount my ecryptfs home directory automagically in a chroot, but schroot isn't happy with it. Anyone know how to get this working?
[18:42] <mbeierl> theos: urr... scratch that.  webcam does not have speakers.  ignore me
[18:42] <Athlon1600> ahh but i want graphical
[18:42] <theos> hehe
[18:42] <ruan> Athlon1600: then gedit with ssh -X
[18:42] <CodeGnome> Athlon1600: Use sshfs, then you can use anything you like because it will look like a local file.
[18:42] <anonymity> how would I find that out?
[18:43] <galeon> But as what I can remember, there's no difference in 10.04 and 10.10 in Sound Preferences, except for the Applications tab. Maybe I'm wrong.
[18:44] <Athlon1600> anything better? like some kind of notepad
[18:44] <akashm1990> how do I kill a process in sleeping state which is taking 100% CPU?
[18:44] <mbeierl> theos: what if you go to the volume applet on the panel... does it have any options settings?
[18:44] <akashm1990> sudo kill pid doesnt seem to work
[18:45] <akashm1990> taking the pid from system monitor
[18:45] <oCean> akashm1990: is it in S or D state
[18:45] <theos> mbeierl, nop. same thing opens
[18:45] <aeon-ltd> akashm1990: got htop? if so you can kill it there
[18:45] <akashm1990> got it..  right click and kill worked
[18:46] <stefg> !kill | akashm1990
[18:46] <mbeierl> theos: I fear that the sub might be powered in software and that you might need some tweaking.  what does lspci show for the audio device?
[18:46] <CodeGnome> Athlon1600: apt-cache search graphical editor
[18:46] <stefg> akashm1990: kill -9 ....
[18:47] <theos> mbeierl, i have 2 audio devices. 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[18:47] <theos> mbeierl, and 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730
[18:48] <mbeierl> theos: interesting.  I wonder which is which.  this is a laptop... what model?
[18:49] <theos> mbeierl, i currently use intel controller. it works well , just the woofer never works on ubuntu :/
[18:49] <stefg> mbeierl, theos : the ati one is the pseudo audio device for HDMI output
[18:49] <mbeierl> stefg: thanks!
[18:49] <theos> stefg, yes. thanks. i use the intel one for internal speakers :)
[18:50] <mbeierl> theos: is there any slider anywhere for LFE output?
[18:51] <theos> mbeierl, nop. not in gui. i tried tweeking with cmd line though. but LFE channel doesnt sound
[18:51] <theos> other channels sound fine.
[18:52] <stefg> theos: checked the analog path already... trivial things like broken cable, worn-out jack or loose connections?
[18:52] <theos> stefg, it works on windows :/
[18:52] <theos> i can feel it THUMP :D
[18:52] <aeon-ltd> theos: is it ICKY?
[18:53] <theos> ??
[18:53]  * aeon-ltd looks away...
[18:53] <theos> whats icky? :D
[18:53] <stefg> theos: i see... you might need to pass special parameters to your card.
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> theos: icky thump.

[18:56] <drei> ubuntu's samba file system guide.  I did command 'sudo chown nobody,sambashare /srv/samba/share/'..  But fails
[18:57] <drei> cat passwd shows there is a nobody user, yet it doesn't recognize?

[18:58] <stefg> !info padevchooser
[18:58] <theos> stefg, awesome. thanks :)
[18:59] <flaritycat> Anyone who's got this working? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer

[19:05] <Aer> Hi, i was wondering if anyone could give me a hand, when i use the "update manager" i get the following error message "Not all updates can be installed" "Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible"
[19:05] <theos> thanks for helping. i will come back tomorow :) to thank when my woofer works :P
[19:05] <Aer> What would a partial upgrade be ? would that upgrade me from 10.4 LTS to the latest non LTS ?
[19:06] <brewster> how do I make it so that I don't need aptoncd for upgrades?
[19:07] <Aer> anyone lol ? :P
[19:07] <bastidrazor> brewster: in software sources uncheck the line with CDROM in it.
[19:07] <brewster> ty
[19:07] <jndlsnl> hi, I install xp then i install the ubuntu but in the grub loader it is not showing the xp.how can i resolve this problem?
[19:08] <stefg> Aer: that means that not all dependencies of updated packages can be satisfied (e.g. medibuntu is often overloaded, so w32codecs can't be installed) this is completely different from a version upgrade
[19:08] <shcherbak> Aer: What does happend if: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ????
[19:08] <Aer> ok, thanks stefg, I will try now shcherbak
[19:09] <Aer> i get "the following packages have been kept back"
[19:09] <shcherbak> Aer: Whatch update, it shows Hits and Skips for each repo
[19:09] <Aer> "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and "The following packages will be upgraded" "linux-libc-dev"
[19:10] <Aer> i got a lot of hits and a few "ign"
[19:10] <Aer> im guessing it ignored some
[19:10] <guntbert> Aer: ign is normal
[19:10] <shcherbak> Aer: So, here it is.
[19:10] <Aer> ok
[19:10] <Aer> so should i run partial upgrade ?
[19:11] <shcherbak> Aer: Yup.
[19:11] <guntbert> Aer: usually not recommended
[19:11] <Aer> :s
[19:11] <Aer> running a partial upgrade wont break my system will it lol ?
[19:12] <jndlsnl> hi, I install xp then i install the ubuntu but in the grub loader it is not showing the xp.how can i resolve this problem?
[19:12] <shcherbak> Aer: Maybe follow guntbert, I need to update myself.
[19:12] <Aer> cus the updates i cant do without partial upgrade are greyed out and they are below "important securioty updates" section they are the linux kernels
[19:12] <guntbert> Aer: ooops - we contradicted each other - I never tried that, was always warned off
[19:13] <guntbert> Aer: what I did in such cases was sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[19:13] <Aer> ok i will try that now

[19:23] <thielmann_> I moved my system from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04 (on a different system). Now every website hosted on my system has a strange character at the very end of the site (shown as a black squared question mark, see http://goo.gl/Dzws for example). I  can't seem to figure out if it's the file format, mysql, apache or something else. I tried everything I can think of. It seems to serve latin1 instead of utf-8. Any ideas?
[19:23] <brewster> unityproblem: i had a similar problem and restarting seemed to fix it

[19:30] <KINGOFSWORDS> is grub and mbr same thing
[19:30] <zaksoldier> how to repair the system on ubuntu

[19:31] <zaksoldier> i have the ubuntu on usb
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> KINGOFSWORDS: the mbr starts the grub which then loads the OS you choose
[19:31] <KINGOFSWORDS> update grub doesnt work
[19:31] <zaksoldier> is there a code to repair the system of ubuntu
[19:31] <KINGOFSWORDS> its grub 2...is cmd any different

[19:32] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok ...says it cant open and no such directory
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: if you give some details rather than annoyingly spamming the channel we can help you, you have given ZERO details so how do you expect anyone to give you any advise!!?
[19:32] <guntbert> zaksoldier: that isn't a "code to repair", it only tell the system to check the file system on the next boot

[19:36] <guntbert> Aer: then that *could* be the reason, try, disable it and run the update/safe-upgrade sequence again
[19:36] <Aer> in my defence it was my first time installing linux properly with the intention of using it instead of windows i didnt know any better im still learning lol

[19:55] <Kr0nZ> hey guys i seem to be having problems upgrading maverick to 2.6.38, after install the packages from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38.2-natty/ after reboot gnome doesnt launch, how can i fix this
[19:55] <erUSUL> chriswk: see if qemu-img can do it ....
[19:55] <justin__> I have a problem with a game & GL
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> unityproblem: if you cannot solve issues like that,I suggest you DON'T use natty
[19:55] <unityproblem> ActionParsnip: but still samba server installation is common i guess??
[19:56] <justin__> I keep getting a GL error or 1281
[19:56] <eric-maverick> Hi Konz me too
[19:56] <justin__> *of
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> unityproblem: you need to get your packages square first, ask in #ubuntu+1
[19:56] <chriswk> erUSUL: I found a guide for that that tells me to use various terminal commands that don't work
[19:56] <eric-maverick> Kr0nZ sorry
[19:56] <justin__> What packages from Mesa do I need to install?
[19:56] <KINGOFSWORDS> hi..after update-grub how do i get rid of things on my boot menu
[19:56] <unityproblem> ActionParsnip: okk sure thanks for ur time BTW !
[19:56] <justin__> I've tried swx11
[19:57] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: when you uninstall old kernels, they get removed
[19:57] <justin__> And I am on glx right now
[19:57] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: computer janitor should be able to help you with that if you dontk now how
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> unityproblem: the pastebin is still useful for asking in the other channel
[19:57] <justin__> Can anyone help me?
[19:57] <guntbert> zaksoldier: maybe its easier in #ubuntu-arabic ?
[19:57] <justin__> Hello?
[19:57] <justin__> Hello?
[19:57] <maco> justin__: for something as specific as a GL error code, you might need #xorg
[19:58] <justin__> Ok.
[19:58] <etherneteth0> justi whats the problem
[19:58] <ThinkT510> !enter | justin__
[19:58] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Try editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[19:58] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> galeon: that isn't advised, the file is generated so changes will be lost next time a kernel is installed
[19:58] <maco> galeon: that's the file generated by update-grub. itd revert after KINGOFSWORDS's next kernel update or anything else that triggers update-grub to run
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> galeon: the file itself even tells users to not manually edit it
[19:59] <zaksoldier> 10min went for no answer
[19:59] <Buzzzz> I guess getting adobe flash to work with dual screen on an amd card is impossible?
[19:59] <KINGOFSWORDS> how do i edit the .cfg?
[19:59] <KINGOFSWORDS> gedit?
[19:59] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: that's not the recommended way to do it
[19:59] <ThinkT510> galeon: the files that should be edited are in /etc/grub.d/
[19:59] <galeon> zaksoldier: When that happens to me, I only restart then all is fine.
[19:59] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: it'll just revert when you get a new kernel update
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> KINGOFSWORDS: don't edit it, its a pointless execise
[20:00] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok
[20:00] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: really, just uninstall the old kernels that you dont want on there anymore
[20:00] <zaksoldier> for me not
[20:00] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: it'll free up space on your hard drive too
[20:00] <KINGOFSWORDS> i dont know how
[20:00] <feat> Hi
[20:00] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: use Computer Janitor, like i said before
[20:00] <KINGOFSWORDS> ive formated in gparted but windows still comes up
[20:00] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok maco...is that in synaptic?
[20:00] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: Computer Janitor is installed by default
[20:00] <zaksoldier> it comes again and i have to press delete or not delete
[20:00] <chriswk> Anybody know a somewhat simple way for converting the .vhd to .vdi?
[20:01] <JeroenM> Can someone give me a channel for Ubuntu beta? Or Ubuntu bugs?
[20:01] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: System->Preferences
[20:01] <ikonia> JeroenM: #ubuntu+1 for natty chat
[20:01] <JeroenM> ok thank you
[20:01] <atpa8a> hello
[20:01] <ThinkT510> !bug | JeroenM
[20:01] <pluc> Hey folks. I seem to have misplaced my CTRL+C binding. It doesn't do anything anymore - but simply highlighting text will copy it. How can I restore the Copy key binding?
[20:01] <atpa8a> does anyone know what manages the mounts under /media?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> KINGOFSWORDS: you may find it mentioned in /etc/grub.d/40_custom    if it is, comment it out then run: sudo update-grub
[20:02] <maco> pluc: is this all over the desktop or just one app?
[20:02] <Mamaaloo> hi
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> atpa8a: udisks I believe
[20:03] <pluc> maco: let me test
[20:03] <crescendo> what is this new chromium-browser-l10n?
[20:03] <otori> hallo
[20:03] <pluc> The highlighting-text-goes-in-the-clipboard is all over
[20:03] <pluc> CTRL+C seems to work in xchat though
[20:03] <atpa8a> ActionParsnip: fuse thing?
[20:03] <Aer> whats the difference between "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" and just running a "partiall upgrade" in update manager ?
[20:03] <maco> pluc: highlight to copy and middle click to paste is a feature on *all* Linux distros
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> crescendo: its a language pack according to dpkg
[20:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> computer janitor just list unused programs?
[20:04] <maco> pluc: ok so which app isnt letting you ctrl+C?
[20:04] <pluc> maco: I don't middle click. I just select text and it goes in my clipboard, replacing whatever I had.
[20:04] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: it should list extra kernels too
[20:04] <pluc> maco: Chrome
[20:04] <maco> pluc: if you middle click, you can paste what you've highlighted ;-)
[20:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> nah
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> atpa8a: not sure, I know udisks will be involved
[20:04] <galeon> Is there a way to tell grub to remove an entry everytime update-grub is used? Like when I don't want Windows to be added to the boot menu?
[20:04] <atpa8a> oh... dbus thing
[20:04] <otori> gkdebi sais there is a dependencie problem: libwxbase2.8-0 (>= 2.8.11.0) does it mean this package must be over this version or lower??
[20:04] <pluc> maco: Well actually, it could be because I was trying to paste content of my clipboard over a selection
[20:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> googleearth and 2 ia32 files what ever they are
[20:04] <cybrhuman> maco: what do you call that feature? I really like that feature
[20:05] <maco> cybrhuman: it's X's clipboard. i call it mouse-paste
[20:05] <atpa8a> ActionParsnip: just wondering if it's a good idea to make my own mounts under that
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> atpa8a: if you want, sure :)
[20:05] <galeon> Is there a way to tell grub to remove an entry everytime update-grub is used? Like when I don't want Windows to be added to the boot menu?
[20:06] <maco> pluc: mouse & keyboard buffer are supposed to be two separate ones (ie, you can copy one thing with the keyboard and another thing with the mouse and choose which to paste based on which you use for the pasting. i find this handy)
[20:06] <atpa8a> ActionParsnip: i hope it's not like autofs tho :P
[20:06] <maco> pluc: so trying to paste over highlighted text should work
[20:06] <maco> pluc: i'm not really sure how Chromium handles keyboard shortcut stuff though :-/  i know in gnome apps you can turn on a setting where you're able to reset the shortcuts, which is what i was thinking you might have done
[20:07] <pluc> maco: I understand what you're saying, but say I'm writing a blog post and I want to paste my clipboard over a selected sentence... I can't, because the selected sentence goes straight in my clipboard
[20:07] <maco> pluc: do you have a clipboard manager in use?
[20:07] <pluc> maco: Yes, Parcellite
[20:07] <maco> pluc: because there should basically be two "slots" where copied stuff are stored, and the highlighted stuff should go into a different slot than the ctrl+c stuff. it shouldnt overwrite
[20:08] <pluc> maco: let me try something.
[20:08] <maco> pluc: hmm i havent used that one. does it list the last few things you copied?
[20:08] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok guys im getting nowhere with this
[20:08] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: dpkg -l linux-image*
[20:08] <atpa8a> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[20:08] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: "sudo apt-get remove " then the ones with the lowest version numbers
[20:08] <pluc> maco: Fixed it by disabling "Use Primary (Selection)" in Parcellite. Thanks!!
[20:08] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: for old kernels stuff. i dont know about windows
[20:09] <maco> pluc: ooooh! the "combine both into one buffer" feature
[20:09] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: You may also use Ubuntu Tweak if you only want to remove old kernels
[20:09] <pluc> maco: exactly
[20:09] <maco> galeon: we don't tend to recommend that here.... it does things a bit dangerously
[20:09] <maco> galeon: not quite automatix but...
[20:09] <KINGOFSWORDS> i dont understand all this kernels stuff
[20:10] <KINGOFSWORDS> u just want to dual boot xp but have win7 and vista stopping me
[20:10] <galeon> sorry for that, but I do use apt-get to remove kernels
[20:10] <ikonia> galeon: you don't need to use ubuntu-tweak to remove kernels
[20:10] <maco> galeon: oh so do i. its ubuntu tweak that i was referring to
[20:11] <KINGOFSWORDS> what subuntu tweak
[20:11] <Starminn> For removing old kernels, I just use the Software Center.
[20:11] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: you should not use it
[20:11] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS:  a dangerous piece of software
[20:11] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: it is not needed
[20:11] <galeon> yes, I mean I use apt-get, but he's having problems in using it so I recommended a GUI. Sorry for that
[20:11] <KINGOFSWORDS> omg
[20:11] <IdleOne> !ubuntutweak
[20:11] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: so is the thing you're trying to change A) that there are lots of ubuntu's listed or B) that there are lots of windows listed?
[20:11] <tommis> how can i get S3TC right now, on mesa?
[20:11] <KINGOFSWORDS> im gonna end up in a mental hospistala this rate
[20:11] <IAMSASHAFIERCE> Hi KINGOFSWORDS
[20:11] <Starminn> galeon: So suggest Software Center. It's the GUI to apt-get (more-or-less)
[20:12] <tommis> i've heard talk about that it is in external library but i can't find it...
[20:12] <KM0201> KINGOFSWORDS: whats the problem? (or maybe i've missed it).. no need to go to a mental hospital over it
[20:12] <KINGOFSWORDS> theres wins7 listed(which isnt there) and theres windows vista somewhere which i dont want
[20:12] <galeon> Sorry, I haven't thought of that.
[20:12] <IAMSASHAFIERCE> Neither did I.
[20:12] <Mamaaloo> hi
[20:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> i want to install game..doesnt work in wine so i partitioned and installed win7(which is crap) so now i try xp but it wont boot from cd or get rid of win7
[20:13] <mekeor> Mamaaloo: hi
[20:13] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: So, it's not kernels for Linux that you want to remove?
[20:13] <Mamaaloo> hi mekeor
[20:13] <Mamaaloo> how are you
[20:13] <Starminn> galeon: Yeah, just search "linux-header" in the Software Center and just leave the ones you want (obviously don't remove what you're using)
[20:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> now i just want to format windows partition so theres nothing on there
[20:13] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[20:13] <mekeor> Mamaaloo: thx, good. you?
[20:13] <maco> ikonia: its the grub config
[20:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> no..i got no idea what kernels do
[20:13] <Mamaaloo> ok me too hehe
[20:13] <KM0201> KINGOFSWORDS: have you tried using Gparted to format the windows partition?
[20:14] <maco> ikonia: oh nevermind
[20:14] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh gparted formats it in like 3 seconds
[20:14] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: your windows cd refusing to boot isn't a problem we can help with
[20:14] <KINGOFSWORDS> and win7 is still in boot menu
[20:14] <KINGOFSWORDS> im not asking bout win cd
[20:14] <haroon> hello
[20:14] <KM0201> KINGOFSWORDS: did you run sudo update-grub   after you formatted the windows partition?
[20:14] <KINGOFSWORDS> im asking about formating win partition thru ubuntu
[20:15] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: you said you've done it
[20:15] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh did update-grub cmd
[20:15] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: what's the problem now ?
[20:15] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: It seems your problem is not in Ubuntu. Windows XP CD will sometimes not boot if there are partitions it cannot read (like EXT4).
[20:15] <KINGOFSWORDS> win7 is still there
[20:15] <Mamaaloo> hi ikonia
[20:15] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: is that a problem at the moment ?
[20:15] <KINGOFSWORDS> or at least in options
[20:15] <haroon> today I tried to to install 10.04 at lenovo new B560  and getting problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/767455
[20:15] <KINGOFSWORDS> win7 is still in my boot menu
[20:15] <Starminn> galeon: He's not asking about the CD. He's seeing he wiped the partition but Win7 is still in his GRUB boot menu,.
[20:16] <Mamaaloo> +bug 767455
[20:16] <KINGOFSWORDS> i dont care about windows...hope i never have to use it again in my life
[20:16] <IdleOne> KINGOFSWORDS: stop typing for a minute.
[20:16] <galeon> But I thought its already removed?
[20:16] <IdleOne> KINGOFSWORDS: did you run: sudo update-grub ?
[20:17] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh sudo update-grub and rebooted and still in menu
[20:18] <Jordan_U> KINGOFSWORDS: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[20:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> now sudo update-grub ..cmd not found
[20:18] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Are you sure that the Windows partitions no longer exists? Grub shouldn't be able to add it to the boot menu if the partition is no longer there?
[20:18] <galeon> "there." rather
[20:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> jordan /dev/sda2:Windows7 (loader):Windows:chain
[20:19] <hiexpo> maybe sudo apt-get update-grub
[20:19] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: did you format the partition or delete it?
[20:19] <Jordan_U> KINGOFSWORDS: Then you still have a Windows partition. Specifically /dev/sda2
[20:19] <maco> hiexpo: there's no such command
[20:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> invalid operation update-grub
[20:19] <hiexpo> maco, i know was goofing
[20:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> formatted it b4 and then deleted
[20:20] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: can you do "sudo fdisk -l" and put that on paste.ubuntu.com ?
[20:20] <IdleOne> hiexpo: goofing when someone is having a problem and others are trying to help is not helpful.
[20:20] <hiexpo> IdleOne, kk
[20:20] <KINGOFSWORDS> erm im on differnt pc so will take while to type out
[20:20] <IdleOne> hiexpo: thank you :)
[20:20] <hiexpo> IdleOne, yeppers
[20:20] <minion35> since the newest batch of updates has anyone noticed anything weird about java and CPU usage ... laptop went through a massive slow down, ran top and java was apparently at 200%

[20:24] <Jordan_U> maco: Probably just the small Windows "System" partition
[20:24] <phonex01> i mean something to make fun with pictures
[20:24] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Does /dev/sda2 have any files?
[20:24] <hayat> i need help
[20:24] <minion35> since the newest batch of updates has anyone noticed anything weird about java and CPU usage ... laptop went through a massive slow down, ran top and java was apparently at 200%
[20:24] <flaritycatsecond> phonex01, you can try picasa.
[20:25] <KINGOFSWORDS> dunno
[20:25] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: then your partition has not been deleted
[20:25] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: if its still showing up in fdisk, the partition still exists.
[20:25] <KINGOFSWORDS> i think it had 500meg of win7 left on it for some reason
[20:25] <phonex01> apt-get install picasa ?
[20:25] <flaritycatsecond> www.google.com > picasa
[20:25] <tjiggi_fo> hayat, ask, and if we can help we will
[20:26] <hayat> why unable to mount USB
[20:26] <KINGOFSWORDS> so i need to delete it in gparted.....btw im using alternate version of ubuntu
[20:26] <razanof> Do not use google, use Ixquick instead
[20:26] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[20:26] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: then hit d
[20:26] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok
[20:26] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: then tell it 2
[20:26] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys. My U10.10 has 2 user accounts (my wife and I), and we switch back and forth. When she puts her USB in, it mounts, but when I switch to my account, it says "Unable to mount <usb name>" in a popup - and vice versa.
[20:27] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: then w    to commit the changes
[20:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok so which partition number?
[20:27] <IsmAvatar> and by "it says", I mean I'm literally immediately greeted by a popup after logging in.
[20:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok
[20:27] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: you can do "p" before "w" to have it print out what its gonna do
[20:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> command (*m for help):
[20:27] <hayat> why unable to mount USB
[20:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> what p and w?
[20:28] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: p is print, w is write (ie save)
[20:28] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: if you hit "m" like it says, it'll list these
[20:28] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok should i p then?
[20:28] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: if youd like to check what it did, sure
[20:28] <KINGOFSWORDS> did both
[20:29] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: and p shows sda2 being gone?
[20:29] <KINGOFSWORDS> ahhh yeh
[20:29] <KINGOFSWORDS> but surely it take like 20 mins to delete a partition?
[20:29] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: ok so now the partition should actually be deleted. so do the 'sudo update-grub' again
[20:30] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: nahh a low-level format takes a while, but deleting a partition is just removing a pointer to its starting/ending blocks
[20:30] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: its like crossing out a line in the index of a book
[20:30] <hayat> why my ubuntu 10.04 is unable to mount USB
[20:30] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok.....building a new sun disklabel.......
[20:30] <BlouBlou> hayat: try 'lsusb' and check if it detects it or not
[20:30] <pajero> which command can i use for hping install
[20:30] <KINGOFSWORDS> what cmd do i use now?

[20:32] <KINGOFSWORDS> maco it says its waiting for a cmd?

[20:34] <erUSUL> Nastya: acrobat read is aviable in medibuntu ...
[20:34] <iamaham> Greetings
[20:34] <Jordan_U> maco: But a sun disklabel is a type of partition table, not a type of partition.

[20:35] <KINGOFSWORDS> shall i try to get online on this pc
[20:35] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: itd be easier to debug if you did...
[20:35] <erUSUL> iamaham: ia 64 wont work in a xeon cpu
[20:35] <iamaham> ? it's 64bit
[20:35] <iamaham> or what should I use on a Xeon quad core system
[20:35] <erUSUL> !amd64 | this will though  iamaham
[20:35] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok brb...its 3g modem so sometimes have problems getting on
[20:35] <maco> Jordan_U: "s" in fdisk would make a new empty sun disklabel
[20:36] <iamaham> but it's an Intel chip not amd64
[20:36] <erUSUL> iamaham: ia64 is not the same as amd64 ( the arch xeaons use )
[20:36] <maco> Jordan_U:  but not d or p or w...
[20:36] <iamaham> aye
[20:36] <iamaham> so I can't use the aMD64 distro right?
[20:36] <erUSUL> iamaham: AMd invented/designed the 64 bit extensions to x86 so they've got to name it
[20:37] <iamaham> confused
[20:37] <erUSUL> AMD*
[20:37] <iamaham> so which one should I use? know it's a 64bit cpu
[20:37] <Jordan_U> iamaham: IA-64 is an entirely different architecture from AMD64. Intel's current 64 bit chips use the AMD64 architecture, also sometimes called X86-64.
[20:37] <iamaham> amd64 or the 32bit regular version
[20:37] <erUSUL> iamaham: both AMD and Intel implement the amd64 arch in their chips
[20:37] <cybrhuman> iamaham: how much RAM have you got?
[20:37] <erUSUL> iamaham: if you want to use 64 bits use the mad64 iso's
[20:37] <iamaham> so it the Xeon and AMD64 or IA-64 based chipset?
[20:37] <hayat> p
[20:37] <iamaham> 16gigs
[20:38] <erUSUL> iamaham: Xeon is amd 64
[20:38] <Nastya> thankyou folks! I got it. I'll try one of these readers
[20:38] <iamaham> DDR2
[20:38] <iamaham> 4x4gig
[20:38] <erUSUL> iamaham: iA64 is use by *itanium* cpu's
[20:38] <Jordan_U> KINGOFSWORDS: Don't close your terminal Window. Please copy as much of the scrollback as possible to a text file to document what has happened.
[20:38] <iamaham> kk tyvm
[20:39] <iamaham> didnt realise there was a dif in ia-64 and amd64. thought amd64 was just amd and ia-64 was xeon, itanium, and maybe i5,i7
[20:39] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: did you press "s" at all while inside fdisk?
[20:39] <maco> iamaham: amd64 is backwards compatible with ia32. ia64 is not so kinda flopped on the desktop market
[20:39] <erUSUL> iamaham: read twe links the bot gave you
[20:39] <maco> iamaham: intel licenses amd64 from amd for their desktop 64bit cpus
[20:40] <iamaham> tyvm
[20:43] <DrMrHorse> .
[20:43] <roeland> is there any way to test if sendmail is working from the console?
[20:43] <roeland> i just ran apt-get install sendmail
[20:44] <bluefox84> much better >.>
[20:44] <oCean> roeland: telnet localhost 25
[20:44] <bluefox84> wtf, my nick D:
[20:45] <genii-around> roeland: If you also install mailutils   you can do: mail -s "subject here" email@adresss.abc        then type the msg and do ctrl-c when finished
[20:46] <roeland> oCean: what will that do?
[20:46] <oCean> roeland: connect with the telnet service on port 25 of your local computer.
[20:47] <raven_> UNISON - different versions.... "expected "Unison 2.32\n" but received "Unison 2.27\n\000\000\000\000", which differs at "Unison 2.2"."
[20:48] <Travis-42> How do I get TRIM to work on my SSD? I assumed Ubuntu would automatically use it, but it seems like it's not actually working
[20:48] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys. My U10.10 has 2 user accounts (my wife and I), and we switch back and forth. When she puts her USB in, it mounts, but when I switch to my account, it says "Unable to mount <usb name>" in a popup as soon as I login - and vice versa.
[20:49] <mod> apt-get seems to always have problems connecting to or resolving the hostnames of repositories
[20:49] <vlt_> Hello. Does anyone know how to stretch (or change perspektive of) a layer in Gimp?
[20:50] <IsmAvatar> vlt_: this is #ubuntu, not #gimp
[20:50] <mod> this has been true of multiple ubuntu version installs
[20:50] <bluefox83> >.>
[20:50] <mod> (of mine :)
[20:50] <cybrhuman> IsmAvatar: the usb stick is mounted for the current user of X so it is probably something there not going as smooth as it should when you switch.
[20:51] <maco> mod: sure its not your network connection?
[20:51] <bluefox83> how do i manually do a dist-upgrade in terminal? i know there's a config file or something i need to edit...but i don't recall D:
[20:51] <itilious> how can i use keys with vnc instead of password?
[20:51] <cybrhuman> bluefox83: /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[20:51] <itilious> i'm using keys between ssh connection and i think that the authorization in VNC is preventing me from using it over the ssh tunnel
[20:51] <mod> maco, positive, I can browse in FF all around the world, no prob
[20:51] <maco> mod: but if you do "host archive.ubuntu.com"  does that resolve?
[20:52] <erUSUL> bluefox83: you don't. use the apropiate tools---> do-release-upgrade
[20:52] <erUSUL> !upgrade > bluefox83
[20:52] <mod> maco, it takes a bit, but yes...but then I'd suspect that 'host' is directly using the resolver libs
[20:53] <mod> ok so not apt-get has finally done an update, after 10 tries of stalls
[20:53] <mod> and upgrade just does so patheitcally slow
[20:53] <mod> stalls a lot
[20:55] <cybrhuman> boring new tools, ... no more need for manually changing repositories?! boring!
[20:56] <maco> mod: apt-get is just using wget or curl
[20:57] <maco> mod: but if it takes a long while, id wonder whether there is packet loss or something else interrupting your connection to the dns server

[21:03] <alishah> hi, how do i start mysql-client. I installed mysql_server and mysql_client but i don't know how do i start mysql_client.?
[21:04] <nononickname> is there a specific channel for ubuntu brainstorm, or are there any brainstorm moderators in here that can assist me? Or does anyone know someone that is an ubuntu brainstorm moderator ?
[21:08] <mackenzie> My sound is not working; and its not on mute...
[21:09] <IdleOne> nononickname: #ubuntu-brainstorm
[21:09] <nononickname> IdleOne, thank you
[21:09] <Docfxit> My menu bar at the top of the screen disappeared. Gnome . How can I get it back?
[21:09] <cybrhuman> mackenzie: is this an issue that suddenly appeared on an existing install or a fresh isntall
[21:10] <xskydevilx> Is there a way to backup all of the installed updates for Ubuntu and then restore them back when the OS has been installed again?
[21:10] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: may I assume you are a gnome user?
[21:10] <Docfxit> yes
[21:11] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: if so you can recreate it by right-clicking on the lower one and click new panel I think
[21:12] <P4C0> hello, can somebody point me to the network configuration how to on ubuntu server 10.04? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html only covers ethernet
[21:12] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: it requires some work to repopulate it and restoring it to normal, but it should all be in a rightclick menu
[21:12] <Docfxit> cybrhuman I don't see new panel when I right click any place on the blank screen
[21:13] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: did you have two panels before you accindentally deleted the top one?
[21:13] <brightspark> Docfxit, pkill gnome-panel
[21:14] <cybrhuman> brightspark: do that work if you delete your panels?
[21:14] <Nzaw4> hi guys, i have a queswtion, im having issues running steam under wine
[21:14] <Docfxit> cybrhuman I only had one.
[21:14] <Nzaw4> i have the log of errors when i tried to start it in terminal
[21:15] <Scowboy> everytime i try gtk-window-decorator --replace my terminal just stops working
[21:15] <Nzaw4> was wondering if someone could hepl me
[21:15] <Scowboy> anyone know what is the problem
[21:15] <mackenzie>  When I right click for settings, I'll try to click something and, it won't let me click it. :/
[21:15] <Docfxit> brightspark How can I get a terminal window up to put pkill in?
[21:15] <galeon> Docfxit: To restore panels to default: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
[21:15] <brightspark> Docfxit, ctrl-alt-t
[21:16] <Docfxit> brightspark ctrl-alt-t doesn't do anything.
[21:17] <kawohi> How do I stop Ubuntu from asking for a keyring password on startup?
[21:17] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: alt-F2?
[21:17] <brightspark> cybrhuman, if they just disappeared its a credible 1st try
[21:17] <cybrhuman> brightspark: good point
[21:17] <Nzaw4> so no one here is running Steam in wine?
[21:17] <Docfxit> cybrhuman alt-F2 doesn't do anything either.
[21:18] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: ctrl-alt-F1
[21:18] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: ctrl-alt-F7 or F8 to return to graphics
[21:18] <brightspark> Docfxit, ctrl-alt-f7 to switch back
[21:18] <Docfxit> cybrhuman ctrl-alt-F1 doesn't do anything.
[21:19] <P4C0> wifi on ubuntu server 10.04... anyone?
[21:19] <Nzaw4> im a girl, and i suck at ubuntu.. can anyone help me ?
[21:19] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: that is weird, you are holding them down at the same time?
[21:20] <sje46> Nzaw4: a girl?  Well, if it's for a GIRL, of course
[21:20] <sje46> No way would I help out a boy
[21:20] <Docfxit> cybrhuman yes
[21:20]  * ariel_ wonders
[21:20] <Nzaw4> :)
[21:20] <cybrhuman> P4C0: have you tried wicd?
[21:20] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: that is strange
[21:20] <brightspark> Docfxit, something is really strange then.  try rebooting I guess
[21:20] <P4C0> cybrhuman: no, I was hopping to get a howto similar to he one for ethernet...
[21:20] <kawohi> How do I stop Ubuntu from asking for a keyring password on startup?
[21:21] <P4C0> cybrhuman: does wicd requires x?
[21:21] <Docfxit> brightspark I'll try that.
[21:21] <flaritycat> Nzaw4, try installing playonlinux , and run steam from there.
[21:21] <cybrhuman> P4C0: wicd-curses has a nice curses tool. nope, works fine in terminal
[21:21] <Nzaw4> isnt playonlinux a front end for wine?
[21:21] <Nzaw4> i have a log of what happens when i try to open steam
[21:21] <P4C0> cybrhuman: thanks, i guess I'll try that...
[21:21] <cybrhuman> Docfxit: restart X first? alt-sysrq-k?
[21:21] <Rziz> it actually is, nzaw
[21:21] <Nzaw4> it starts to log in then it crashes
[21:22] <Gurke_> hi
[21:22] <KINGOFSWORDS> hi
[21:22] <Gurke_> i need help
[21:22] <ayecee> !ask | Gurke_
[21:22] <KINGOFSWORDS> maco and jordan are yhou still here...only just back online
[21:23] <Gurke_> my question is can help me
[21:23] <Nzaw4> 10.10 is maverick right?
[21:23] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: yes i am
[21:23]  * Nzaw4 blushes
[21:23] <Nzaw4> lol
[21:23] <ariel_> PlayOnLinux is based on Wine, and so profits from all its features yet it keeps the user from having to deal with its complexity
[21:23] <ayecee> Gurke_: the answer is that no one can until you describe your problem.
[21:23] <KINGOFSWORDS> sorry couldnt get online with that pc and had problems on this 1
[21:23] <chiluk> nzaw4 yes
[21:23] <Gurke_> ok my problem is about with ubuntu
[21:23] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: ok well did you save the contents of that computer's terminal to a file?
[21:23] <KINGOFSWORDS> win7 is still in the boot menu
[21:24] <KINGOFSWORDS> no dont know how
[21:24] <galeon> kawohi: Did you changed your password?
[21:24] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: copy and paste?
[21:24] <KINGOFSWORDS> oh yej
[21:24] <kawohi> NO, its been the same.
[21:24] <KINGOFSWORDS> but i can use up arrow to do cmds again
[21:24] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: did you already reboot that computer?
[21:25] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh
[21:25] <maco> and its working ok, just the same problem with the menu?
[21:25] <KINGOFSWORDS> anyway that partition is back aswell.....sda2 hpfs/ntfs
[21:25] <ayecee> Gurke_: you will still need to describe the problem.
[21:25] <KINGOFSWORDS> yep same problem
[21:26] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: and you *did* do the "w" when in fdisk?
[21:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> w was write?
[21:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh did that
[21:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> after p
[21:27] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: hmm thats....weird
[21:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> did you work out what sun disk label was for?
[21:28] <papna> I have a Samba share mapped and my password changed. When I try to connect to it now I get the message "Could not open location..." and no opportunity to put in my new password.
[21:28] <papna> How do I fix this?
[21:28] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: sun disklabel wouldve been creating an entirely new partition table and would have happened if you used teh "s" command in fdisk.  if the sun disklabel thing had actually gone through you wouldnt have been able to boot though. but your fdisk changes seem not to have taken effect at all.
[21:28] <KINGOFSWORDS> nah
[21:29] <Nzaw4> hrmm, when i run Playonlinux, it says my 3d acceltor is not enabled, where do i enable it?
[21:29] <KINGOFSWORDS> maybe i have a corrupt install of ubuntu
[21:29] <galeon> kawohi: I also have the same problem before, but it is because I changed my password. Gnome should be able to unlock the keyring, but it will ask for one if its password is not the same as the user's password.
[21:29] <cybrhuman> Nzaw4: have you installed drivers for your gfx card?
[21:29] <Nzaw4> cybrhuman: yes i do nvidia
[21:30] <KINGOFSWORDS> shall i just reinstall ubuntu fro the beginning?
[21:30] <itilious> after setting up ubuntu ssh server/client with key access should i move the key id_sda to a different place?
[21:30] <cybrhuman> Nzaw4: silly question coming up: the proprietary one?
[21:30] <itilious> or does that not really make a difference in security?
[21:30] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: if you were going to blow away the whole disk and start over for a xp/ubuntu dual boot, youd want to do xp before ubuntu
[21:30] <Nzaw4> this is my kernel sudo apt-get install playonlinux
[21:31] <Gurke_> hello
[21:31] <P4C0> ok, this is crazy, I need documentation, where can I get documentation?? I need to set up an ethernet card and a wifi card... both up at the same time... wicd shuts me down the ethernet when i connect to the wireless and it doesn't start at boot (even if I check the start automatically checkbox)... is there any documentation about this?? ubuntu server 10.04
[21:31] <maco> itilious: that shouldnt make a difference. the ~/.ssh is only readable by the owner and ssh will refuse connections if this is not the case
[21:31] <Nzaw4> err i have the 260.19.06 nvidia kernel installed
[21:31] <KINGOFSWORDS> but i cant install xp so wouldnt work
[21:31] <maco> P4C0: use /etc/network/interfaces instead of wicd
[21:31] <maco> P4C0: man 5 interfaces
[21:31] <itilious> ty maco
[21:31] <Gurke_> is ubuntu 11.04 stablee ??
[21:31] <galeon> kawohi: If that's what you did, go to System -> Preferences -> Passwords and Encryption Keys. Right-click on "Passwords: Login" then "Change Password", then put your old and new password, then re-login.
[21:32] <P4C0> thanks maco
[21:32] <maco> Gurke_: no
[21:32] <maco> Gurke_: not til next week
[21:32] <Gurke_> i know its not stable but is it usuable
[21:32] <Gurke_> or too buggy
[21:32] <maco> Gurke_: oh yes, i find it quite usable, but discussion of it belongs in #ubuntu+1
[21:32] <maco> Gurke_: also, i'm a kde user, so i have no idea about unity's usability at this point ;-)
[21:32] <cybrhuman> P4C0: I would let wicd handle wifi, because I am not hardcore enough to do it manually, but I tend to let the default handle the ethernet
[21:32] <Gurke_> me too kde
[21:33] <cybrhuman> P4C0: but maco seems better than me at this :P
[21:33] <maco> cybrhuman: its actually not difficult to make the interfaces file handle even wpa
[21:33] <kawohi> Oh yeah, the wireless network doesn't have the same password.
[21:33] <P4C0> cybrhuman: it's ok, I think debian's documentation will do...
[21:33] <maco> cybrhuman: just add in    wpa-ssid linksys   \n   wpa-psk  yourpasswordhere
[21:34] <maco> cybrhuman: then it automatically handles all the talking-to-wpasupplicant junk for you :)
[21:34] <cybrhuman> maco: oh, joy, then I can get rid of these flimsy tools!
[21:34] <P4C0> maco: hmmm I prefer to handle the password in wpa_supplicant... encrypted
[21:35] <maco> P4C0: i didnt think wpa_supplicant's config file had encryption... but you can set the interfaces file to be 600 permissions. it doesnt need to be world-readable (just is by default)
[21:35] <P4C0> maco: wpa_passphrase essid password
[21:36] <alishah> hi, how can i have root permissions all the time?
[21:36] <KINGOFSWORDS> so thats it...nothing i can do?
[21:36] <ayecee> alishah: log in as root
[21:36] <ayecee> alishah: that would be a bad idea, though.
[21:37] <maco> KINGOFSWORDS: you could reinstall if you like and tell ubuntu to take the whole the drive. thatd clear out all partitions
[21:37] <KINGOFSWORDS> but ill lose all my files
[21:37] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: When fdisk asked for a partition number, did you put 2?
[21:38] <miniminiyo> hi
[21:38] <KINGOFSWORDS> yep
[21:38] <KM0201> http://www.tomshardware.com/news/the-oatmeal-how-to-fix-computer,12618.html
[21:39] <KM0201> woops, wrong channel.
[21:39] <Gurke_> my question is can help me
[21:39] <KINGOFSWORDS> im gonna throw pc out of windows
[21:39] <nit-wit> KM0201, lol
[21:40] <KM0201> nit-wit: didn't mean to put it here, but it does have a certain nerd humor that will appeal to a lot of folks here.. :)
[21:40] <cybrhuman> KM0201: appreciated :D
[21:40] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Try using Disk Utility on that computer to delete the partition.
[21:41] <Guest20105> hello
[21:41] <cybrhuman> Gurke_: what is the problem?
[21:42] <Guest20105> just bought new hardware and i'm unable to boot. am i right for some help here?
[21:42] <cybrhuman> Guest20105: we can give it a try :)
[21:42] <Nzaw4> argh stupid playonlinux
[21:42] <Guest20105> hehe allright.
[21:42] <KINGOFSWORDS> typed disk utility into terminal and choose number 2
[21:42] <Nzaw4> wine crashes, nothing loads
[21:42] <KINGOFSWORDS> what do now?
[21:42] <cybrhuman> Guest20105: the machine booted before the hw-upgrade?
[21:43] <KINGOFSWORDS> command?
[21:43] <Guest20105> it's a completely new machine. i purchased a HP 8200 elite
[21:43] <Guest20105> therefore, to answer your question: no :P
[21:43] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: System -> Administration -> Disk Utility
[21:43] <cybrhuman> Nzaw4: to tell teh truth I am secretly a windows user when it comes to games
[21:43] <Nzaw4> cybrhuman: me too, i just want to ditch windows, and run my steam and also photoschop
[21:43] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok
[21:43] <Nzaw4> then i can walk away from windows entirely
[21:43] <fabiobik> hi i have isses to connect  to internet with my alfa awso36h
[21:44] <fabiobik> i can connect but after 3, 4 seconds the coonection is down
[21:44] <cybrhuman> Guest20105: ok, and you want to boot a install disk/usb stick?
[21:44] <fabiobik> im using bt4
[21:44] <Guest20105> well. i used the new cd-image 10.10, even the beta 11.04, 32 and 64 bit but it boots into a grub shell
[21:44] <guntbert> !backtrack | fabiobik
[21:44] <cybrhuman> Nzaw4: you speak of utopia
[21:44] <KINGOFSWORDS> galeon do i create partition on that space?
[21:44] <cybrhuman> Nzaw4: I hope to live there one day :P
[21:44] <Guest20105> into a real dumb grub shell where i'm not able to do anything^
[21:44] <Nzaw4> lol
[21:44] <guntbert> !ot | Nzaw4, cybrhuman
[21:45] <Nzaw4> ? what happened there
[21:45] <cybrhuman> Guest20105: well, you can do quite useful stuff, in there, but it shouldn't happen when installing
[21:45] <Nzaw4> ahh off topic .. duh :P
[21:45] <stefg> Guest20105: and you did what before?
[21:45] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: You may delete the Windows partition there, if you don't need it anymore.
[21:46] <KINGOFSWORDS> only  has option to create patition
[21:46] <cybrhuman> Guest20105: though the ubuntu boot disk does not use grub I think... have you already installed?
[21:46] <Guest46115> hey guys, I have having a few issues.  I have a usb wireless device that is connected.  It would appear that the driver was one that was built into the kernel because it recognized it immediately.  The only issue is it will not connect to any network.
[21:46] <KINGOFSWORDS> will that overwrit any left over windoze stuff
[21:46] <Cem_Nome5> Hello #ubuntu I'm trying to connect to my MSN by a default program of VoIP on Ubuntu 10.04 but it keeps trying to connect and nothing happens
[21:46] <Guest20105> hmm i told the BIOS to start right from the cd. i'm not a newbie about linux or ubuntu... therefore i tried all kind of things one can try. it even happens when booting from an usb-stick
[21:47] <Guest20105> couldn't install. the ubuntu boot cd does have isolinux as normal boot. but somehow this fails and afaik they use grub as a fallback
[21:47] <Guest46115> The wireless animation keeps running and it cannot connect
[21:47] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: If you'll remove the Windows partitions, it should.
[21:47] <Cem_Nome5> Hello #ubuntu I'm trying to connect to my MSN by Empathy on Ubuntu 10.04 but it keeps trying to connect and nothing happens

[21:48] <itilious> i'm i lowering my security by running "ssh-add" to add my current certificate to the authentication agent?
[21:48] <Gurke_> Guest46115:  why are you under ubuntu 10.10
[21:48] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Select the hard drive that contains the Windows partition in the left, then it should show you the partitions.
[21:48] <Cem_Nome5> help me plz?
[21:48] <guntbert> itilious: only when you leave the computer and the agent is still active
[21:49] <Guest46115> Gurke_: Because I always install the latest versions
[21:49] <KINGOFSWORDS> has differnt option now on partition
[21:49] <KINGOFSWORDS> do i format in ntfs or delete first?
[21:49] <itilious> guntbert, so its mainly just a "local security" loss?
[21:49] <Gurke_> Guest46115: 11.04 is the lateste
[21:50] <itilious> guntbert, do you know if the key is cleared when system reboots?
[21:50] <IdleOne> Gurke_: This channel is not for discussion about 11.04. You have been told this many times. Please stop being off topic in here.
[21:50] <guntbert> itilious: no, not at all local, ssh agent allows you to reach configured ssh-hosts without having to enter a password (thereby increasing their security)
[21:50] <Guest46115> Gurke_: This computer is for my dad and he is used to Gnome so I stuck with 10.10
[21:50] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: You must select the partition with Windows, does "Device:" says "/dev/sda2"?
[21:50] <Gurke_> ok
[21:51] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh selected windows partition and foramted
[21:51] <Gurke_> 11.04 is gnome too
[21:51] <KINGOFSWORDS> win7 still in boot menu so im gonna delete partition now
[21:51] <guntbert> itilious: yes, ssh-add is valid only until the next reboot (or until you remove the key again)
[21:52] <fabiobik> one stupid question
[21:52] <fabiobik> how to restart from comand line
[21:52] <KINGOFSWORDS> deleted but it is still there
[21:52] <DasEi> fabiobik: sudo reboot
[21:52] <fabiobik> shutdown?
[21:52] <fabiobik> ok ok
[21:52] <fabiobik> thanks
[21:52] <DasEi> np
[21:52] <KINGOFSWORDS> now i creat partition
[21:52] <DasEi> fabiobik: shutdown -r as root does it, too
[21:53] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: You may if you want, then run "update-grub"
[21:53] <wcchandler> Anybody know of an IRC channel for weather/meteorology?
[21:53] <Andre_> Hi, everyone. I want to dual boot my laptop, ubuntu and windows xp. I've read pages about how to do it. Now I just need one clarification, while it's recommended to install windows first, and should I first partion my hd for windows xp first, say 10G out of 90G?
[21:53] <KINGOFSWORDS> windows 7 loader still present after updategrub
[21:54] <Blue1> i have some simple scripting issues if someone has a minute:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/596699/
[21:54] <KINGOFSWORDS> this is crazy
[21:54] <KINGOFSWORDS> i just want rid of this files
[21:54] <guntbert> Blue1: I fail to see how this is an ubuntu support question
[21:55] <DasEi> Andre_: yes
[21:55] <Blue1> guntbert: okay where's the best place to take that question then?
[21:55] <Andre_> OK thank you DaSEi
[21:55] <guntbert> Blue1: try #bash
[21:55] <DasEi> Andre_: make a win party beforehand, say least 10 G ntfs, install xp, install ubu
[21:55] <Blue1> guntbert: thanks
[21:55] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Try "sudo os-prober" in the terminal
[21:56] <KINGOFSWORDS> still there
[21:56] <buzz_> anyone else running natty here ?
[21:56] <KINGOFSWORDS> windows 7 loader
[21:56] <virgo> where can i see user last activity in sourceforge.net about some user?
[21:56] <guntbert> !natty | buzz_
[21:56] <DasEi> buzz_: #ubuntu +1
[21:56] <Andre_> gocha DaSEi. is there any thing I should be careful about besides that?
[21:56] <buzz_> if anyone is running natty, please could they test "dwell click" and "simualte second click" mouse accessibility
[21:56] <guntbert> buzz_: stop
[21:56] <DasEi> Andre_: no, do so, ask if problems
[21:56] <wcchandler> Anybody use Gnash exclusively?  I'm wondering about it's support for pandora/youtube/grooveshark.
[21:57] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Can you go to Disk Utility again and check if there is a partition named "System Reserved"?
[21:57] <buzz_> it doesnt work here, and im rather worried this one is going to slip by - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/762806
[21:57] <Andre_> Ok I got you. Thanks alot
[21:57] <KINGOFSWORDS> called new volume
[21:57] <guntbert> buzz_: not here!
[21:57] <buzz_> ok sorry. ill write in =1
[21:57] <knightautwell> anyone know how to make a wireless AP using ubuntu 10.10???
[21:57] <buzz_> yeh i saw. sorry. lots of text in scrollback heh.
[21:58] <KINGOFSWORDS> oh sorry there is system reserved..its 105meg
[21:58] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: No partition named "System Reserved"?
[21:58] <Adis34> When I press a key, my mouse stops moving
[21:58] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: That's the one causing the problem!
[21:58] <guntbert> wcchandler: ask alis, like /msg alis list *meteo*
[21:58] <Adis34> Any1 know how to fix that?
[21:58] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh there is..its 105meg and
[21:58] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Windows Vista and 7 have a separate partition for booting, you may delete it.
[21:58] <KINGOFSWORDS> ahh ok..i have 2 other partitions at 5gb..told they were dells recovery
[21:59] <KINGOFSWORDS> wow it deleted
[21:59] <Adis34> when I hold a key on my keyboard, i cant move my mouse
[21:59] <Adis34> I have Ubuntu
[21:59] <KINGOFSWORDS> i dont have vista no btw
[21:59] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Is Windows 7 still showing in os-probe?
[22:00] <KINGOFSWORDS> =_
[22:00] <KINGOFSWORDS> no its gone
[22:00] <KINGOFSWORDS> is that it....my nightmare over?
[22:00] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Yeah, I hope so :)
[22:00] <KINGOFSWORDS> shall i reboot?
[22:01] <adsadsaddsd> hi
[22:01] <KINGOFSWORDS> what shall i do with 2 other 5 gb paritions..they dell recovery's....leave them?
[22:01] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Had you tried "sudo update-grub"?
[22:01] <KINGOFSWORDS> no
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: is the system a branded PC or laptop?
[22:01] <KINGOFSWORDS> opps rebooted
[22:02] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: If you think might need them, you shouldn't
[22:02] <Combatjuan> Hello.  Is there any way to have "apt-get remove" list all of the files it removes (and in general what it is doing?)
[22:02] <KINGOFSWORDS> they have vista i think
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Combatjuan: it will show the packages it is removing
[22:03] <Combatjuan> ActionParsnip: I'm concerned with particular files.
[22:03] <papna> I have a Samba share mapped and my password changed. When I try to connect to it now I get the message "Could not open location..." and no opportunity to put in my new password. How do I fix this?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Combatjuan: its there a verbose option on apt-get (check man page)
[22:04] <Combatjuan> "apt-get remove --verbose <packages>" -> "Command line option --verbose is not understood"
[22:04] <Monotoko> hey
[22:04] <KINGOFSWORDS> omg galeon your a star...thank yo so much...no boot menu anymore
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Combatjuan: did you check the man page......?
[22:04] <Combatjuan> ActionParsnip: Of course.  Before coming to the IRC channel.
[22:04] <Galvatron> Combatjuan: Also it's better to use simple yet powerfu aptitude, than all those atp-xxx junk.
[22:05] <CuddleKing> wcchandler: this isn't a server support channel; however check /list or /msg alis help
[22:05] <Combatjuan> Galvatron: That's fair.  But I was under the impression that they sort of kept their own metadata and that mixing and matching (aptitude install x, apt-get remove x) was a bad idea.
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> Combatjuan: clearly not as the option is -V or --verbose-versions
[22:05] <Galvatron> Combatjuan: Use aptitude + Synaptic
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Combatjuan: not --verbose as youused, which is why you got the error which is why I TOLD YOU to read the man page
[22:06] <Galvatron> Combatjuan: You hardly find a better combo for managing packages.
[22:06] <Combatjuan> ActionParsnip: The "--verbose-versions" options doesn't list files.
[22:06] <zaksoldier> hi
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Combatjuan: or you can copy the proposed packages then the make a script to list the files in each package
[22:08] <Galvatron> Combatjuan: Arent you combining too much? If apt-get/aptitude removes something you need, you might always reinstall those components.;)
[22:08] <iszak> How to permanently mount a tmpfs?
[22:08] <Adis34> Hey, when im holding a key and my mouse cant move
[22:08] <zaksoldier> سلام عليكم
[22:08] <Adis34> is there any way to fix this
[22:08] <Galvatron> Adis34: What key?
[22:09] <Combatjuan> ActionParsnip: If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying do something like write a script that parses dpkg -L?
[22:09] <Adis34> any key
[22:09] <Adis34> on my keyboard
[22:09] <Adis34> it makes it impossible to play games
[22:09] <mickster04> Adis34: that is very unusual, what have you installed recently?
[22:09] <Combatjuan> ActionParsnip: The reason I'm not doing that, is because I was hoping to get a list of files that are ACTUALLY removed.  Not just part of the package.
[22:09] <Adis34> Nothing
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Combatjuan: possibly to maybe automate it, or just copy the text and use it in a manual sense
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: is the system a branded PC or laptop?
[22:10] <Adis34> this is a laptop
[22:10] <Adis34> touchpad
[22:10] <Combatjuan> Maybe I should start from the beginning.  I have a package that I'm removing, but a file that I'd expect it to remove is still there.  Therefore I was hoping to have apt-get just tell me what it thinks it is doing.
[22:10] <mod> is us.archive.ubuntu.com generally painfully slow?
[22:10] <davideS> hi
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: what make and model?
[22:10] <davideS> i am using natty beta 2 on acer aspire 1830t and alps touchpad
[22:10] <davideS> vertical scrolling does not work, despite being enabled in the touchpad tab under "mouse". Does anybody have the same problem?
[22:10] <Adis34> toshiba satellite something
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> davideS: ask in #ubuntu+1 until after release
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: we need the something
[22:10] <Adis34> alrighty
[22:10] <davideS> ActionParsnip: thanks
[22:11] <Adis34> Satellite A305-S6841
[22:11] <galeon> Combatjuan: If you need that because you want to remove configuration files, you may use "apt-get purge"
[22:11] <timrc> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pK8dplyTHM
[22:11] <Combatjuan> galeon: Thanks.  But in this case, it is a .so file.
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: ok let me search
[22:12] <Combatjuan> galeon: (And I'm reasonably certain that no other packages depend on this file)
[22:12] <sosaited> I am trying to install libx264-dev, but I get http://pastebin.com/qa4neU0n error.
[22:13] <svartur> irc.lolnet.is +6697
[22:13] <galeon> Combatjuan: Maybe a dependency library is no longer a dependency but not uninstalled? If it is the problem, use "apt-get autoremove"
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: this may help: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/05/06/temporarily-disable-touchpad-while-typing/
[22:14] <galeon> Combatjuan: autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed.
[22:14] <Adis34> i just read that
[22:14] <Adis34> I dont have mouseemu
[22:14] <Combatjuan> galeon: It was a good theory, but not the case this time.
[22:14] <Unknow> Hola!
[22:14] <KINGOFSWORDS> how do i install xp onto the old partition i have galeon?
[22:14] <zaksoldier> is there a channel for mac os x
[22:14] <Combatjuan> Galvatron: aptitude does have a "--verbose" options, but it also, is not verbose in the way I want it to be.  Thanks though.
[22:14] <Unknow> Somebody talk Spanish?
[22:15] <DasEi> !es
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: also try the boot options (in various combinations): i8024.reset     i8024.nomux=1       irqpoll       Those are great at weird touchpad issues
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: #macos   or #apple
[22:15] <Adis34> whats that
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: boot options on the kernel, may make things nice
[22:15] <zaksoldier> ok thanks man for the help
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: also try #poorbangforbuck
[22:16] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Boot into your Windows XP CD then install there, but it will be harder, since grub will be overwritten. Its still easier to install Windows XP first then Ubuntu.
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: ;)
[22:16] <KINGOFSWORDS> i know how to reinstall grub
[22:16] <KINGOFSWORDS> but neither xp or vista discs are starting up from boot
[22:16] <Calif>  bios settings?
[22:17] <De|ta> hi all - anyone help me with some poor samba throughput; http://pastebin.com/t7z4wpMZ
[22:17] <KINGOFSWORDS> i have boot nah cd/dvd is first in bios
[22:17] <KINGOFSWORDS> it trys to run dvd fora while then just revertsto linux
[22:17] <Calif> can you boot from a linux disc?
[22:17] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: That's a problem, Windows XP will sometimes not boot if it found Grub as MBR or a Linux partition is there.
[22:17] <Calif> oh
[22:17] <KINGOFSWORDS> ahhh
[22:17] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: I mean the CD
[22:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> so theres no way around that
[22:18] <sosaited> Can someone please take a look at  http://pastebin.com/qa4neU0n error and tell what can I do to fix it?
[22:18] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: That may mean you need to reformat the whole HD
[22:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> like pressing shift or ctrl
[22:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> oh
[22:18] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: It happened to me before
[22:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> can i not turn off grub in ubuntu
[22:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> hence reason to install windows 1st
[22:18] <Calif> Backup, do the dual boot, reinstall, restore backup? Not sure if it would affect the mbr or boot stuff in restoring.
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> De|ta: you could play with: socket options =    in smb.conf
[22:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> vista should work thou?
[22:19] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Not sure, I haven't tried that.
[22:19] <De|ta> ActionParsnip: I'm a newbie to Linux, I'm too sure what change them to
[22:19] <Thanatos_> Evening. Can any of you recoàmend me a good process monitoring tool.. where I can see step by step what a single process is doing .. fopen , fopen64 etc etc etc in log form..
[22:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> win7 did
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> De|ta: nobody is born knowing, but you have a computer hooked up to the largest information database on the planet
[22:20] <Calif> ...skynet
[22:20] <Thanatos_> ...watson
[22:20] <KINGOFSWORDS> how do i reformat the whole drive?
[22:20] <Calif> NO
[22:21] <Calif> Skynet will do away with Watson
[22:21] <De|ta> I know, and one way of accessing said info is to talk to people who are in the know :)
[22:21] <KINGOFSWORDS> if xp wont start
[22:21] <Calif> Watson has no hope!
[22:21] <Kage> I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords!
[22:21] <Calif> Skynet will infect watson.
[22:21] <Kage> also...
[22:21] <Kage> !ot
[22:21] <Calif> lol
[22:21] <Calif> I run ubuntu on skynet... its cool
[22:21] <Calif> on topic success
[22:21] <Thanatos_> process monitor ? anyone ?
[22:22] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Select the hard disk in Disk Utility then Format Drive.
[22:22] <Combatjuan> Thanatos_: strace perhaps
[22:22] <Kage> Calif: oh, I run ubuntu too so any topic related to me is ontopic?
[22:22] <Calif> yup, just how it works
[22:22] <Thanatos_> @Combajuan I'll have a look
[22:22] <Calif> cant go against the rules...
[22:22] <fabiobik> hi
[22:22] <syrinx_> Calif: stop trolling
[22:22] <fabiobik> how to see ram installed?
[22:22] <Calif> ok :(
[22:23] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok thx galeon
[22:23] <mateusz_> witajcie
[22:23] <Combatjuan> fabiobik: cat /proc/meminfo
[22:23] <zaksoldier> #apple is not for hackintoosh
[22:23] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: You may also try searching in Google, there might be a way
[22:23] <Combatjuan> fabiobik: cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal for the total size
[22:23] <Galvatron> fabiobik: Administration > System Monitor
[22:23] <Adis34> Alright I fixed my mouse problem
[22:23] <Adis34> thanks
[22:24] <iszak> How to permanently mount a tmpfs?
[22:24] <Galvatron> mateusz_: Witamy/Wlecome
[22:24] <Adis34> Another question though
[22:24] <KINGOFSWORDS> nah loadsa tutorials for xp afte rubuntu but none work in the real world
[22:24] <Thanatos_> The thing is .. I have this program .. i'ts opening files.. but it's not using open , open64 , fopen or fopen64 ... what else is there it could be using ??
[22:24] <Adis34> When I turn the volume up or down when im in a game
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> iszak: add it in /etc/fstab
[22:24] <Adis34> it flickers to the desktop
[22:24] <iszak> ActionParsnip, thanks
[22:24] <Adis34> and back to the game
[22:24] <Combatjuan> Thanatos_: You tried strace and it didn't report it using open?
[22:25] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/suse-novell-60/windows-xp-installation-cd-doesnt-boot-after-suse-installation-381216/
[22:25] <Thanatos_> @Comb i have no idea what else to look for
[22:25] <fabiobik> one stupid question
[22:25] <Thanatos_> @comb what is there except those to open files.?
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: shoot
[22:25] <fabiobik> how to see if my ubuntu is x86 or x64
[22:25] <zaksoldier> #apple is not for hackintoosh
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: uname -m
[22:26] <KINGOFSWORDS> thx
[22:26] <Combatjuan> Thanatos_: As far as actual system calls, I don't know.  If you know what file it is opening, you could: "strace my_executable | grep 'the_file_it_is_opening'" and see
[22:26] <fabiobik> i686
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: i686 == x86 == 32Bit. x86_64 == X64 == 64Bit
[22:26] <fabiobik> so
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: neither is it here
[22:26] <fabiobik> i have 4 gb ram installed
[22:27] <fabiobik> i can use the 4gb ram in 32 bit?
[22:27] <zaksoldier> ok thanks
[22:27] <fabiobik> i mean x84
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: yes
[22:27] <iceroot> i have 2 vgas in my pc, how to check which one is the used one for the x-server?
[22:27] <fabiobik> ok because in windows the max is 3 gb
[22:27] <Thanatos_> @comb strace is actually doing what i was expecting .. ill look more closely .. thnx a lot for now , I may be back
[22:27] <Galvatron> fabiobik: You might need a kernel with PAE to use them.
[22:27] <ThinkT510> !pae | fabiobik
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: you will see 3.2Gb (ish) you can install the PAE kernel to see more RAM (up to 12Gb) in 32Bit but each app can only use 3.2Gb RAM
[22:28] <Combatjuan> Thanatos_: You've pretty well exhausted my ideas so I'll wish you luck.  (-8
[22:28] <Galvatron> fabiobik: An appriorate version is in repo
[22:28] <fabiobik> but each app can only use 3.2GB
[22:28] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: It says Windows XP CD will not tolerate 2 active partitions, you may check your partitions by checking Partition Flags of your partitions in Disk Utility.
[22:28] <fabiobik> so this dont worth
[22:29] <fabiobik> the change
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: with a pae kernel, yes
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: depends what you use the system for
[22:29] <Combatjuan> fabiobik: (FYI: win32 can use 2GB per process on 32 bit)
[22:29] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: It shows "Bootable" if active
[22:29] <fabiobik> oh i see
[22:29] <fabiobik> thats cool
[22:29] <fabiobik> xD
[22:29] <KINGOFSWORDS> is it possible to disable ubuntu patition while i boot xp?
[22:30] <iszak> ActionParsnip, does this look correct tmpfs   /path/to/tmpfs/      tmpfs   noatime,size=64m,mode=0660      0       0 ?
[22:30] <KINGOFSWORDS> or ucheck a flag?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: for standard desktop web browsing /chatting junk you'll be fine, if you do CAD, Gimp, SQL stuffs then 64bit will help
[22:30] <cyoz> I just changed my computername with gedit and hosts files and stuff
[22:30] <cyoz> I'm such a hacker!
[22:30] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Use the Edit Partition option, then uncheck Bootable
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> iszak: looks fine to me, you can search for examples online
[22:30] <cyoz> ;P
[22:31] <iszak> ActionParsnip, I did :) just wanted to make sure
[22:31] <php5engineer> My computer plays a background music almost always. Sometimes I hear a podcast through the browser with flash player. Is it possible to automatically pause a music for a while I listen a podcast?
[22:31] <phibxr> cyoz, congratulations on changing your computer name to h4xb0x!
[22:31] <maco> cyoz: did you use the hostname command as well?
[22:31] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok ill try that galeon....should i live cd?
[22:31] <cyoz> maco, I just followed this guide: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/06/how-to-quickly-change-computer-name-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
[22:31] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Yes, Ubuntu will not allow you to edit its partition
[22:31] <galeon> while its running
[22:32] <cyoz> chromium complained that the profile was used by somebody different but after deleting that lock file things worked
[22:32] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Just make sure you know how to reinstall Grub using your livecd
[22:32] <Monotoko> Adis, got a cat? :P
[22:32] <dNick> hey
[22:33] <dNick> it smells like jerked off dog in here..
[22:33] <maco> dNick: totally not appropriate. stop.
[22:35] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh reinstalled grub 4 or 5 times now...know it off by heart lol galeon
[22:35] <galeon> lol
[22:35] <zaksoldier> what is the best app for clean the temp
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> cyoz: you have tochange both files at the same time or sudo won't work ;)
[22:36] <KINGOFSWORDS> no serioulsy...i did it earlier when net was down
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: there is no single best app for anything
[22:36] <zaksoldier> ok any app
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: bleachbit is pretty sweet, watch your browser settings though and avoid options it says will take a long time
[22:36] <rubin_> hello all
[22:37] <rubin_> how can i install Windows 7 in UBUNTU ?
[22:37] <zaksoldier> ok thanks
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> rubin_: virtualbox
[22:37] <mickster04> rubin_: you mean virtual box?
[22:37] <Galvatron> rubin_: On VirtualBox
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> rubin_: or vmware or qemu
[22:38] <cyoz> ActionParsnip, hu?
[22:38] <KINGOFSWORDS> galeon nah ubuntu partition isnt checked bootable
[22:38] <Galvatron> ActionParsnipL As far as I know, VMware is a commercial app
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> cyoz: sudo needs to talk to localhost so you need to change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname at the same time
[22:38] <shcherbak> How to "grep" adjectives out of text? Not wordnet solution prefered.
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> Galvatron: so,its still installable...
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> !vmware | Galvatron
[22:39] <cyoz> well it's too late for that since I already did that
[22:39] <cyoz> how can I test if sudo works?
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> Galvatron: its free, just not in speech
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> cyoz: sudo apt-get update
[22:39] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Is there any partition checked as bootable? How many?
[22:39] <cyoz> ActionParsnip, works
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> cyoz: sweet
[22:40] <KINGOFSWORDS> no partitions marked/checked bootable
[22:40] <cyoz> as I said, the only problem was chromium complaining that somebody else (the old computername) was using the profile
[22:40] <KINGOFSWORDS> but in gparted there isan option to manage flags
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> cyoz: if it's already running it will cause that
[22:40] <KINGOFSWORDS> none r ticked but should i choose hidden?
[22:40] <cyoz> ActionParsnip, actually it happened after the reboot
[22:41] <cyoz> but you are right, I made the changes while it ran
[22:41] <KINGOFSWORDS> boot/hidden/raid/iba/lvm/palo/prep options
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> cyoz: strange, which version of chrome/ium are you running?
[22:41] <cyoz> 10.0.648.205 (81283) Ubuntu 10.10
[22:41] <zaksoldier> can i do the ubuntu look like back track 4 or can't
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> cyoz: is that the unstable?
[22:42] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Oh, maybe that's not your problem
[22:42] <Galvatron> rubin: You would be better installing XP, as it is way lighter than Win7, which is probably as heavy as Ubu + XP on VirtualBox.
[22:42] <cyoz> I have no idea, this is like my 3rd session in any linux
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: sure, just apply the same theme stuffs
[22:42] <cyoz> ;)
[22:43] <KINGOFSWORDS> i checked boot flag on ntfs/windows wann be patition and somehing changed on the ubuntu partition
[22:43] <KINGOFSWORDS> a set of keys disapeared next to the ubuntu partiiton
[22:45] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: are you using GParted or Disk Utility?
[22:45] <KINGOFSWORDS> gparted
[22:45] <KINGOFSWORDS> disk utilty didnt have thse options
[22:46] <galeon> Do you have more than one hard disk?
[22:46] <KINGOFSWORDS> no
[22:46] <KINGOFSWORDS> its a ssd aswell if thats makes any difference
[22:48] <rubin_> ActionParsnip: THANK YOU VERY MUCH
[22:48] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Does "Press any key..." shows up when you try to install Windows?
[22:48] <rubin_> Galvatron: THANK YOU VERY MUCH
[22:48] <KINGOFSWORDS> no
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> rubin_: no worries :)

[22:56] <zaksoldier> bye
[22:56] <mordof> k, big problem (possibly) my system locked u pon me, and only way i could get anywhere was a forced shutdown. now when i try to boot i get "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/mordof/.ICEauthority"
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> codex84: run:   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-bezemer/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[22:56] <mordof> am i going to have to reinstall? or is there a system repair or something?
[22:56] <mordof> anyone able to help?
[22:57] <Blue1> got it!  thanks - took a lot to understand but apparently bash doesn't like white noise around equal (=) signs
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> mordof: boot to root recovery mode and run:  chown -R mordorf:mordorf /home/mordof
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> mordof: then reboot, should be fine
[22:57] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: May you tell me what happens when you try to boot to the windows installer cd?
[22:57] <mordof> ActionParsnip: i shouldn't need to boot to recovery mode if i'm in a live cd right? i can do that from here?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> mordof: if you chroot, maybe. The liveCD will use the local users which you need
[22:58] <codex84> ok
[22:58] <mordof> hmm
[22:58] <codex84> is done installing
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> codex84: ok,close the app and rerun it
[22:59] <mordof> ActionParsnip: k, how do i boot to root recovery?
[22:59]  * mordof has a feeling it may list on the bootup process
[22:59] <red2kic> mordof: Hold SHIFT when you boot up. Select RECOVERY (in the menu).
[22:59] <mordof> ok
[22:59] <mordof> red2kic: ty
[22:59] <mordof> brb

[23:01] <codex84> 4.1
[23:01] <codex84> version
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> codex84: if its not in the official repos, you may need a ppa. Newer doesn't mean better you know
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> codex84: the versions in the repos are known to be good

[23:02] <codex84> can u find the ppa on the site
[23:02] <codex84> ?
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> !ppa |  codex84
[23:03] <mordof> hm..
[23:03] <mordof> i honestly thought it would've caused much more damage, lol
[23:03] <Diverdude> Does anyone know if it Is it possible to somehow create part-bibliographies in latex? Like if I have an appendix, and all the \cite i do in this appendix should come in its own reference list in the end of the appendix?
[23:05] <syrinx_> Diverdude: there's probably a better channel to ask that question
[23:05] <tim__> I am trying to switch my wireless to WPA/WPA2.  I can connect in WEP but not in the WPA format.  Any suggestions?
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> tim__: check your chip and make sure it can connect to WPA in Linux
[23:06] <tim__> I wouldn't have any idea how to do that...
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> tim__: use the internet to research
[23:07] <tim__> Can you help?  It's a netgear wireless N card so I would think it is.
[23:09] <shcherbak> tim__: Do you use network manager?
[23:09] <flowbee> how do i recursively remove all .svn files/directories within a given direcotry?
[23:10] <tim__> Yes I do.  The wireless card is made to support WPA2 according to my research
[23:10] <shcherbak> flowbee: find with exec
[23:10] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: I tried it in my computer, it hang when I press enter after "Press any key...", you might have the same problem, since the Ubuntu boot menu didn't show up...
[23:10] <shcherbak> tim__: Did you swap your router to WPA from WEP? Or it is new network?
[23:11] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Are you sure you're booting into the cd?
[23:11] <KINGOFSWORDS> oh
[23:11] <KINGOFSWORDS> i never got press any key
[23:11] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh boot in bios and quick boot menu
[23:11] <mordof> ok, it appears it caused a bit more than i thought
[23:12] <KINGOFSWORDS> partition is checked as bootable too
[23:12] <bastidrazor> flowbee: rm -rf *.svn   ...this command should be executed while in the directory your wanting to rid files from
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> tim__: yeah but under linux the driver may not permit it, thats what you need to look for
[23:12] <mordof> my Places-> Folders are opening in brasero now :\ how do i change that?
[23:12] <zatan> Hi how can i blacklist HDMI sound card ?
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> mordof: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631961
[23:13] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: I also haven't got that "Press any key..." thing before because of a problem in hard disk, so I reformatted the whole hard disk, though I can't remember the specifics though...
[23:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> oh
[23:13] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Try removing all bootable flags
[23:13] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: or all flags
[23:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> all flags were removed at beginning
[23:14] <KINGOFSWORDS> well i mean none were present when i 1st looked
[23:14] <drama> drama.
[23:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: ty, much appreciated
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> mordof: I've seen it a lot so I keep that link. No idea what causes it
[23:15] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Or try removing all partitions except your Ubuntu installation, though it would mean removing the Dell partitions. You may also back up the drive
[23:15] <bastidrazor> mordof: in terminal type: nautilus   :then right click the first folder you see > open with other application >Use custom command > manually type in nautilus.. make sure Remember this application for "folder"files is checked.
[23:15] <mordof> ActionParsnip: heh, good idea. yeah - i'm not sure what caused it either
[23:16] <mordof> bastidrazor: easier just to edit the mimeapps.list as the link stated
[23:16] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: Seen it in http://www.ozzu.com/mswindows-forum/won-boot-t73477.html
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> bastidrazor: I just keep that link handy ;)
[23:16] <galeon> saw rather
[23:16] <KINGOFSWORDS> i have more partitions showing in gparted than in disk utilyies..is that normal?
[23:17] <bastidrazor> ActionParsnip: its a good one to have for those who blindly point and click and goof things.
[23:18] <leftist> afternoon
[23:18] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: I don't think its normal
[23:19] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: I also have that problem before, seems like the contents of the drive is corrupted.
[23:19] <MrBush> if i were to learn a gui/windowing sdk atm is qt the best option?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> MrBush: gtk is well documented, but either is fine
[23:21] <MrBush> ActionParsnip: any major differences? aside from one requiring commercial licences?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> MrBush: not sure, I'd investigate both as much as you can before investing time and effort
[23:22] <MrBush> yah, this was my first step in that process ^_^
[23:23] <phoenixsampras> Help!!! how to turn my ubuntu laptop into a Access Point???
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> !ics
[23:23] <lucky__> че?
[23:28] <leftist> i inadvertantly deleted an icon off my top panel which i added which would give me a graphical display in blue of the cpu load and now i dont have it. how can i restore that important function? it was the system monitor for processes, filesystem, and mem load and packets
[23:28] <Kiwini> Hallo. I can't seem to mount my hard drive anymore, after a screwy hibernate. Can anyone help me out?
[23:29] <mknarr> leftist,  are you useing gnome desktop
[23:29] <Kiwini> http://pastebin.com/PcyewDUR <-- These are the errors I'm getting when I try to boot, and the result of fsck, when I'm running on a Live USB.
[23:29] <leftist> mknarr yes
[23:30] <mknarr> leftist, ok try rightclickong on a blank area of your panel, then go to add then look for the the system monoitor
[23:31] <KINGOFSWORDS> galeon that link you gave says something about disable the hdd
[23:31] <mknarr> leftist,  then add it back to the panel and lock it where you want it
[23:31] <Aftermath> Ok guys, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 - with macbuntu, i run chrom, xchat, cairodock, and rhythmbox. The pc will freeze randomly, and will repeat 4 second of audio that happens at the time of crash, and i must remove power to restart, CTRL+ALT+F1-6 do nothing, any ideas?
[23:31] <leftist> ok but how do i have the cpu load displayed?
[23:31] <galeon> but you only have 1 hdd right?
[23:31] <leftist> i cant figure out how to get that graphic displayed again.
[23:32] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh still disabled it thou
[23:32] <mknarr> leftist,  once added to yur panel all you showld have to do is click on it for it to open up and then you should be able to ses the processor load
[23:33] <KINGOFSWORDS> oh well ill install vista and if game is good ill start all over and install xp 1st
[23:33] <galeon> Maybe you should try it, remove or disable, the installer should say something like "No Hard Disk found" if there is no hdd
[23:34] <KINGOFSWORDS> it tried to boot cd for ages then just went to dos screen
[23:34] <KINGOFSWORDS> or black screen with bios details and no boot
[23:34] <mknarr> leftist, did that help ?
[23:34] <galeon> Yeah, though GParted and Disk Utility showing different number of partitions might be a bad omen that its corrupted...
[23:35] <leftist> mknarr it was a graphic that was displayed in the panel. it was blue. it would show the memory/cpu load
[23:35] <KINGOFSWORDS> my ubuntu install corrupt?
[23:35] <galeon> no, your whole hdd, it happened to me before...
[23:36] <KINGOFSWORDS> i did have problems installing(usb didnt work) and have had wierd things happening, but i only started linux last wednesday
[23:36] <KINGOFSWORDS> would a fresh install stop hdd being crrupt?
[23:36] <Aftermath> KINGOFSWORDS, when you installed ubuntu, did you resize an ntfs partition?
[23:37] <KINGOFSWORDS> no
[23:37] <Aftermath> so you had an empty partition?
[23:37] <galeon> you may reformat the whole hdd, but check in Disk Utility if it has some physical problem (SMART Data)
[23:37] <acovrig> I have to force a reboot when Xorg goes 99% CPU,what is causing this?
[23:37] <KINGOFSWORDS> i added patition later using gparted
[23:38] <Aftermath> Your problem sounds exacly like a bad resize
[23:38] <Aftermath> NTFS had bad writes, resize, corrupted parts of the new partition and the ntfs
[23:38] <galeon> you may also tell us what GParted and Disk Utility shows
[23:38] <KINGOFSWORDS> aftermath did u dual boot with windows 2nd?
[23:38] <Aftermath> YOu installed windows AFTER linux?
[23:39] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh
[23:39] <KINGOFSWORDS> lol
[23:39] <Aftermath> then reinstalled grub?
[23:39] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh thats easy

[23:40] <mordof> my computer is going to hate me xD lol
[23:40] <acovrig> I have to force a reboot when Xorg goes 99% CPU,what is causing this?
[23:40] <Aftermath> What was the last thing before you had problems
[23:40] <plut0> having trouble with ffmpeg on ubuntu 10.04, Unknown encoder 'libfaac', any idea how to fix?
[23:40] <mordof> running 3 OS's at the same time~ hehe.. amongst a number of other applications
[23:40] <KINGOFSWORDS> dunno aftermath
[23:40] <galeon> plut0: ffmpeg from Ubuntu repos do not support libfaac
[23:41] <KINGOFSWORDS> i had major problems getting to add a partition
[23:41] <Aftermath> KINGOFSWORDS, I recommend 0ing out the hdd a few times, install Win XP, then install Ubuntu
[23:41] <galeon> plut0: You need to compile it yourself to support libfaac
[23:41] <Belinrahs> new to IRC, if I have a question should i just spit it out or is there something i should say first?
[23:41] <plut0> galeon: ok
[23:41] <acovrig> belunrah: just ask way

[23:41] <mknarr> Belinrahs, but be specific please

[23:42] <Belinrahs> alright it'll take a second to write
[23:42] <KINGOFSWORDS> anyway id rather not lose my files
[23:42] <Aftermath> KINGOFSWORDS, its the act of writing 0s in binary across the harddrive, it erases EVERYTHING - makin ghte hdd as if just purchased
[23:42] <mknarr> KINGOFSWORDS,  backup your files then zero out the hdd
[23:42] <Aftermath> yea

[23:43] <Belinrahs> I just installed 10.10 on my hp g62x notebook, found that WLAN isn't working. Found a forum thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1645716 and followed its instructions to download driver for Ralink 5390 WLAN minicard and correctly install and configure it.

[23:44] <galeon> KINGOFSWORDS: I think it should, if not your hdd is damaged,
[23:44] <KINGOFSWORDS> vista doesnt even see ubntu partition..thats so annoying
[23:44] <Belinrahs> vista can't read ext3 i take it
[23:44] <KINGOFSWORDS> i foudn the laptop..fell off someones bike
[23:44] <KINGOFSWORDS> but its ssd
[23:45] <Belinrahs> LOL so essentially you're trying to steal someone's info off a passworded vista partition?
[23:45] <mknarr> KINGOFSWORDS,  can you boot into windows and do you ahve a dvd or cd rw  or usb key
[23:45] <KINGOFSWORDS> belinrahs..yeh xp cant read it either but cant get past it
[23:45] <KINGOFSWORDS> no im not
[23:45] <shcherbak> Belinrahs: <3
[23:45] <Aftermath> KINGOFSWORDS, Windows will NOT see Ubuntu because ubuntu is on an ext3 or ext4 partition
[23:45] <KINGOFSWORDS> mknarr i have usb and cdrboth with xp on
[23:45] <jozefk> I like Unity more than Gnome3
[23:46] <Aftermath> Windows does NOT support such file systems
[23:46] <Belinrahs> i'll repost my question in case it wasn't seen
[23:46] <Belinrahs> I just installed 10.10 on my hp g62x notebook, found that WLAN isn't working. Found a forum thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1645716 and followed its instructions to download driver for Ralink 5390 WLAN minicard and correctly install and configure it. Now whenever I try to connect to my wifi network, the system locks up
[23:46] <KINGOFSWORDS> my point is xp stalls and vista ignores
[23:46] <cyoz> I may be a bit dumb now but what is the latest chromium version?
[23:46] <cyoz> (stable)
[23:46] <acovrig> Yet ubuntu understands (most) all filesystems :D
[23:46] <galeon> But I think they should still show up, but says cannot be identified or something like that
[23:47] <MaRk-I> KINGOFSWORDS: join ##windows and ask there

Found a forum thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1645716 and followed its instructions to download driver for Ralink 5390 WLAN minicard and correctly install and configure it. Now whenever I try to connect to my wifi network, the system locks up

[23:54] <mknarr> html_inprogress,  the best way to learn is find a site with lots of info about HTML and just follow tutorials and practice different things
[23:54] <shcherbak> dd214: But Steam version over wine have very good standart (if you manage openGL, you good).
[23:54] <jbeatty> Network Manager won't see my home network (WPA2), but it does pick up a bunch of other surrounding networks, What would cause this?

[23:57] <shcherbak> html_inprogress: Try also google books, free for all.
[23:57] <galeon> induz: You may try to delete the settings file, then double click each Virtual Machine in Nautilus to get them back to the list

[23:57] <kshawkeye> (I thought maybe there was a way with pipes, but I tried adding "| cat "???????"" after the first cat but that didn't do it
[23:57] <galeon> induz: Your Virtual Machines should still be there though
[23:58] <ElRubinho> some knows to handle ati and two screens???
[23:58] <html_inprogress> in looking free , basic and some hard stuff ,
[23:58] <induz> galeon, yes i guess but how i get to its settings without running vbox
[23:59] <galeon> induz: I thought you already removed the file? You said you can open it now.
