HazRPGanyone know why i'd be getting "Dead loop on virtual device he-ipv6, fix it urgently!" ?00:19
rick_rollingHi, I've got a strange problem with 11.04. The proprietary drivers wont seem to load correctly. It says the driver is activated, but not currently in use.00:32
HazRPGubuntu-server hates me :(00:32
HazRPGit can't be because of a amd64 build instead of a i386 build can it...00:33
rick_rollingapport is causing errors as well, and I'm assuming it has something to do with it00:33
HazRPGi'm pretty darn sure its 64-bit gear00:33
rick_rollingglxinfo | grep renderer00:34
rick_rollingOpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8600 GTS/PCI/SSE200:34
HazRPGrick_rolling: interesting name :/ also, i'd love to help but i haven't used 11.04 much00:34
rick_rollingshouldn't that be nvidia?00:34
rick_rollingHazRPG: no problem00:34
rick_rollingWell, I assumed 11.04 would be pretty stable by beta 2, but it seems I was wrong00:35
HazRPGdoesn't really look like its ready for release this month does it00:36
rick_rollinginvoke-rc.d: initscript apport, action "start" failed.  <--- apport seems to have something to do with it I think :(00:37
rick_rollingoh, well, back to 10.10. Serves me right for trying a beta :(00:38
HazRPGTo LVM or not to LVM?00:55
HazRPGor rather... to VLM or VLM+Encrypt or not...00:56
scumbagThat is the question....00:56
HazRPGI'm installing ubuntu server :)00:57
HazRPGmigrating my old windows box to linux basically00:57
scumbagHow much room for expansion do you have?00:57
HazRPGits got 2x80GB Hard Drives on it00:57
scumbagand what are you going to use it for? Will you need to add extra HDD's to the box?00:57
scumbagRaid?00:58
HazRPGpossibly in the future00:58
HazRPGno its not raided00:58
HazRPGit was on offer from DELL about 4-5 years ago00:58
HazRPGcame with 2x80GB hard drives... so the obvious thing was it was designed to be raided, but i never did00:59
HazRPGits got space for more RAM too00:59
scumbagI have a server and I don't LVM and although I had grand plans for it so far after a what feels like a life time I haven't expanded it in any direction.00:59
HazRPGheh, i've had mine 4-5 years so I know the feeling :P01:00
HazRPGgot fed up with updates being a pain, so decided its time to switch to ubuntu server01:01
scumbagMy advice would be get used to using ubuntu server and see how it works. That has worked for me01:01
HazRPGesp now that i'm more familiar with the terminal :)01:01
scumbagIts the way to go....01:01
HazRPGah, i've been using ubuntu-server as a VM inside of the windows server O/S for about 5 months now01:01
HazRPGso, its time for the migrate now :)01:01
HazRPGjust unsure if LVM is the way forward or not... or even if encrypting it is a must or not either01:02
scumbagIts fun for sure. I have a server running here just for downloads.01:02
HazRPGah see I for last few months i've been using mine for IPv6, and since I got it for httpd01:03
HazRPGalong with teamspeak (more recently mumble), etc01:03
HazRPGso mine gets some fair use01:03
HazRPGplan to do some dhcp and firewall stuff soon too01:04
HazRPGand also move from SVN to git01:04
scumbagNice, mine, well much simpler...01:05
HazRPGcos I never really knew the difference between SVN/Git/Bzr/etc01:05
HazRPGso I just went for one with a GUI01:05
HazRPGbut i'm older and wiser now and realised SVN is just soooooo crap01:05
scumbagI'd like to use it as a NAS for my XBMC and OSX TimeMachine. Thats my goal, gurrently I use FreeNAS but thats not much of a challenge.01:06
scumbagLOL!01:06
HazRPGheh, yeah I keep meaning to setup a NAS too :P01:06
HazRPGthis whole time I've just had it serving music and stuff via WMP... but even that fails sometimes01:07
HazRPGsod it, sticking to what i know best...01:07
HazRPGMANUAL!01:08
scumbagMy ideal would be NAS with DL & TimeMachine. But to migrate from freenas to Ubuntu would take too long and the Backups are no.1 priority. I could do with another box to setup while I configure everything. Then swap it out.01:09
HazRPGVMs help with that, thats what i've been doing01:10
HazRPGscumbag: So what do you use for your server?01:10
HazRPGguessing ubuntu server, but hey I could be wrong :P01:10
scumbagCurrently I have a freenas box but along side that there is a very small itx box running ubuntu. It doesn't get used for much just http01:11
scumbagThe freenas box dose the bulk... but as I said it's not much of a challenge or learning curve so I want to replace freenas with ubuntu.01:12
scumbag... and build the NAS from Ubuntu. I need AFP and TimeMachine.01:13
HazRPGindeed01:16
HazRPGthink for a server, its a bit overkill to have partitions for /boot and / (different partitions i mean)01:17
HazRPG?*01:17
HazRPGnormally I would have /boot, /, /home, swap - but somehow I think for a server /boot, /, swap will be fine01:18
scumbagMy freenas box has 6 HDD's in three raid 1 arrays. All formatted in UDF the BSD format so it's not going to be easy for me. Another reason it hasn't happened as yet.01:19
HazRPGouch01:19
HazRPGthat will be a bit of a pain01:20
scumbagIf your box gets hacked and only having / gives the hacker plent of room to use. making partitions for home tmp var usr will help but i's a little more to manage01:20
scumbagI have a very long to do list....01:21
HazRPGyour not the only one :P01:22
scumbagLOL!01:22
HazRPGwait hang on... even if i have different partitions for home tmp var usr... they'll still be able to access it the same way surely...01:23
HazRPGbecause if they've got into / means they've managed to get root access... right?01:23
scumbagBut when they are full with whatever they will not bring your box down. If you have one partion for / and some one fills your tmp it will fill the entire drive.01:24
HazRPGgood point01:25
scumbagBut if you have excelent UFW skills then you'll be able to keep em out. Assuming ofcourse it's internet facing?01:25
HazRPGit is, but only for http01:26
scumbagThen perhaps you should create a partition just for www too? Or chroot your www setup01:27
HazRPGhmm01:27
HazRPG(partitioning always explodes my mind...)01:28
scumbagMy headache is always how much space to I give for the os?01:28
HazRPGsame01:28
HazRPGI think i've got it done for desktop01:29
scumbagThe rest is not so much of a problem but update and upgrades only ever get bigger.01:29
HazRPGI always give desktop no more than 15GB01:29
HazRPGhowever for a server........ now thats a different question S:01:29
scumbagSo back to LVM. You can resize your partitions if you have LVM on top of them. Which solves that problem but adds to the learning curve.01:32
HazRPGhmm01:37
HazRPGindeed01:37
scumbagSo, headaches all round... Plenty to think about.01:38
HazRPGindeed, and i was hoping to get this installed tonight too :/ lol01:38
scumbagWell good luck. It's time for me to get back to the grind.01:41
HazRPGscumbag: what you one with?01:41
scumbagone?01:41
HazRPGon*01:41
HazRPGwhat you up to basically :P01:42
HazRPGalso, do you come on #ubuntu-uk often?01:42
HazRPGcos ya seem like a few face (sorta speak :P)01:42
HazRPGbut a knowledgable one though01:42
scumbagMe, It's a long story...... I'm from the UK but I'm living in China. I used to work in an IT Department in a School. Moved to China with many promises of work and.....01:43
scumbagI'm here now and then........... not so often and I guess I am a new face.01:44
HazRPGah, don't be a stranger then :P01:44
HazRPGmany people here aren't from the UK, just cos we're friendlier I guess :P01:45
scumbagI'll try and pop back more, I need the company LOL!01:45
HazRPGsucks about the promises of work, I know a few people who have been in a similar situation... kinda sucks really01:45
scumbagBeen here for two years, one more to go and the wife 's contract will be done.01:46
HazRPGawesome, well have fun with your... er... grind xD lol!01:46
scumbagSure things and "I'll be back......"01:47
HazRPGhaha01:47
HazRPGlaterz :P01:47
HazRPG*rolls on the floor trying to work out partionion schemes*01:48
HazRPGfail, seems like one of those nights :/ partitioning*01:49
HazRPGwow why is it that I can't remember how I installed sshd onto my VPS :S03:10
popeyHazRPG: sudo apt-get install openssh-server03:18
popey?03:18

HazRPGopenssh-server you say? (gives that a whirl)03:19
HazRPGpopey: score, much thanks :D03:21
HazRPGhmmmmmmm03:25
HazRPGi always thought the MOTD changed03:25
HazRPGfor some reason its insisting that I have 47 packages to update, and 26 security updates... but well sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -u upgrade tells me differently :/03:26
MartijnVdSHazRPG: I think it updates only every once in a while05:16
geekMePleaseWhat is the format of the data at http://paste.ubuntu.com/596789/ ? It does not seem to dot -data. It was obtained by Orange.06:20
AlanBellbug 685552 has a lot of duplicates06:53

HazRPGAlanBell: that pulled in openssh-server too though iirc06:55
AlanBellyup06:55
AlanBellanyone else have flash broken on a recent Maverick update?06:57
AlanBelluninstalled and reinstalled flashplugin-installer07:02
AlanBellnow I can watch videos of my little pony that popey put on facebook \\o/07:03
HazRPGAlanBell: xD07:34
HazRPGAlanBell: I'm just using the beta flash stuff from adobe, so wouldn't know lol07:34
HazRPGkeep hoping they'll fix fullscreen :/07:34
DJonesGood morning08:28
AlanBellHazRPG: I was just thinking that fullscreen was working rather well08:41
AlanBellapart from the multi-monitor thing08:41
AlanBellwhere fullscreen flash un-fullscreens itself when you try and do something on a window on another monitor08:42
gpdI get vertical sync issues with fullscreen flash on my mythtv08:42
AlanBellhttp://www.ted.com/talks/kathryn_schulz_on_being_wrong.html I was watching that fullscreen, no apparent issues08:43
DJonesInteresting report on Natty http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/21/ubuntu_11_04_windows_android_users/08:46
HazRPGAlanBell: my issue with fullscreen goes beyond that... it's the fact that it /always/ opens in the default window regardless of placement, and the fact that having 2 screens makes the fullscreen video smaller than when it was embedded on the site08:47
* AlanBell sees fail08:47
AlanBellyeah, however my screens are the other way round!08:48
HazRPGbecause it tries to grab the full environment size, and then tries to place it into just one screen... so it shrinks it down getting a bizare wide-screen effect08:48
AlanBellso if I fullscreen on the laptop it does attempt to fullscreen on that monitor, but using the 2048x1152 resolution of the big screen08:49
HazRPGheh random08:49
HazRPGmines scales down from 1280x2048 to 1280x102408:51

danfishgoooooood morning vietnam!09:01
danfish\o/ 4 days off and the forecast is sun09:02
MartijnVdS*\o/*09:02
MartijnVdSdanfish: what are you doing up at this time then? :P09:02
danfishMartijnVdS: ah - 4got to say "starting tomorrow"09:03
danfishdo you have Good Friday and Easter Monday as Bank holidays in Nederland?09:04
MartijnVdSdanfish: We get Easter Monday off, bot not Good Friday09:05
MartijnVdSToo bad Queen's Day (i.e. the previous queen's birthday) is on a Saturday this year, so no extra day off there09:05
MartijnVdSso I'll have a three-day weekend09:07
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)09:07
* shauno does the bacon o'clock happy dance09:10
* DJones likes this idea of a 4 day week, followed by a 3 day week, followed by another 4 day week because of bank holidays09:15
shaunoheh, welcome to my world.  I only do a 5-day week, once every 5 weeks :)09:16
DJonesHow do you manage that, longer hours?09:17
oimoni do a 7 day week but only work for 5 of them usually09:17
shaunoyeah.  10 & 12hr shifts, and weekends09:17
shauno3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 5 on, 2 off, 3 on ..09:18
shaunomessy, but I swear I average more than one weekend per week :)09:18
DJonesSo 40 hours a week minimum, mine is only 37.5hrs, but working longer per day and doing fewer days does sound a good plan09:18
shaunothat's what I like about this.  I have to wake up less often.  that's the hard part of most days for me09:19
oimonthe problem with stumbling upon a great job is that one day you will have to get another job, and then you will be sad09:20

* oimon is hesitant to jump up and down about the iphone tracking revelations since he owns an android..wouldn't be surprised to find that data sitting on my phone too09:35
mattioimon: THEY know what you did last summer...09:35
matti;]09:35
bigcalmoimon: use a mod instead. It's more likely that it would have been removed by a modder if found09:36
bigcalmOch, that was a bad film09:36
bigcalmIs anybody here actively useing Sparkle Share?09:39
DJonesSounds like something from a My Little Pony toy09:39
directhexbigcalm, imho it's not ready yet09:39
directhexbigcalm, it's close though09:39
directhexbigcalm, i have a list of issues from last time i evaluated it for the office...09:40
bigcalmdirecthex: I've been following it for months. Wondering if I finally have time to play with it09:40
popeyoimon: i thought android was worse, they actually use your data for the traffic on google maps09:40
popeywhereas the iphone data is just y'know, on your phone and in your backups09:40
bigcalmOnce a windows client comes out that intergrates as simply as the dropbox one does, then I'll be moving myself away from dropbox09:41
bigcalmpopey: that's a clever use of data09:41
popeydont hold your breath for the u1 windows client09:41
popeyi tried it, it's not great09:41
oimonpopey: what data do they use for maps?09:42
bigcalmHeh09:42
bigcalmdirecthex: do you know if one can use multiple servers with Sparkle Share?09:42
popeyoimon: location09:42
oimonpopey: sorry, i still don't get it09:42
oimoni might be being dumb today09:43
directhexbigcalm, one per repository. i got it working over a straight ssh connection to a shared box... albeit with some messy constraints09:43
popeyimagine you and all the cars around you are in a traffic jam09:43
popeythey are all android phones and are all reporting their location09:43
popeythat location isnt moving fast09:43
bigcalmWould be good to have it connect to a personal server and a company server09:43
popeygoogle uses that info to update their traffic data on the google maps website and in the maps app09:43
oimonlocation via mobile triangulation or GPS?09:43
gordthats only if you are using some sort of routing or something in gmaps right?09:44
popeyboth09:44
popeynot aiui gord09:44
gordmy phone never uses any location tracking unless i enable it09:44
oimondidn't realise traffic data was available on google maps09:44

TheOpenSourcererOhh thanks.09:51
TheOpenSourcererI think this is quite straightforward.09:51
bigcalmDon't ask to ask, just ask ;)09:51
MartijnVdSI know a few things as well09:51
MartijnVdS!ask | TheOpenSourcerer09:51
MartijnVdS;)09:51
lubotu3TheOpenSourcerer: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)09:51
popeyheh09:51
TheOpenSourcererstrip .html from urls and add a trailing slah09:51
oimonpopey: are you tracking our irc usage :P09:52
TheOpenSourcererIt's a static page site09:52
bigcalmoimon: the topic says that the channel is logged any way :)09:52
oimonbigcalm: yep, it was tongue in cheek :)09:52
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: RewriteRule (.*)/? $1.html09:52
MartijnVdS?09:52
dogmatic69anyone know why some folders are highlighted in terminal and others not?09:52
TheOpenSourcererSo I'd like to redirect the url in the browser bar from say /aboutus.html to /aboutus/09:52
bigcalmoimon: I need more tea09:52
shaunodogmatic69: usually permissions, sometimes other attributes09:52
bigcalmdogmatic69: permissions09:53
oimoni need to earn my wages.09:53
oimonbreakfast is over09:53
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/ -- does anything in there help? :)09:53
dogmatic69shauno, bigcalm: ok thanks. is there something wrong about the permissions ?09:54
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: it has pretty pictures :P09:54
shaunodogmatic69: depends what colour it is :)09:54
dogmatic69green09:54
bigcalmdogmatic69: ls -l to see which files/dirs have which permissions. That will give you an idea about highlight rules09:54

TheOpenSourcererThanks guys.09:57
bigcalmdogmatic69: what MartijnVdS said09:57
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: don't do that.. use u+w or g+w :)09:58
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: that's why it's annoying-green ;)09:58
dogmatic69hehe09:58
DJonespopey: What period does that graphic cover09:58
dogmatic69well it needs to be w for www-data09:58
dogmatic69should i add www-data to ubuntu group or something?09:58
bigcalmdogmatic69: what framework/orm is that?09:58
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: uhrm.. no?09:58
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: what are you trying to do?09:58
dogmatic69bigcalm: cakephp09:59
bigcalmAh, yes09:59
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: either install php as fastcgi (and run it as the Ubuntu user with suexec etc.)09:59
bigcalmWhy I didn't see that the 1st time I dunno09:59
dogmatic69appalling use of cake btw09:59
TheOpenSourcererOne other question on mod_rewrite if I may. Can it rewrite the urls that are served out to the user?09:59
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: or run Apache as a different user/group for this vhost (is that possible? per-vhost uid switches? :)09:59
dogmatic69MartijnVdS: i got to maintain 5ish of these legacy systems. dont want more work10:00
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: sort of10:00
TheOpenSourcererI can type http:///my-site/aboutus/10:00
TheOpenSourcererand that works.10:00
TheOpenSourcererBut the url in the browser chnages to anoutus.html10:00
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: you can have it send out a "moved permanently" if the user hits the "wrong" URL, then the browser will redirect to the correct URL10:00
TheOpenSourcererhttp://my-site/aboutus.html10:00
dogmatic69MartijnVdS: dont think its good to run apache as ubuntu on the ec2 boxes, ubuntu ~= root10:00
dogmatic69can sudo with no pw10:00
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: there are some "no-www" mod_rewrite scripts out there10:00
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: those do something like that (but they strip the www. bit instead of the .html bit)10:01
popeyDJones: curent10:01
popeyish10:01
popeyDJones: i only upload every 5 mins but it generates a new one every few seconds10:01
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: ah.. and you really need to write in those directories?10:01
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: chgrp them to be group www-data10:01
TheOpenSourcererOK so I am looking for redirect stuff. Thanks MartijnVdS I'll go fishing10:01
dogmatic69MartijnVdS: yes, the guy that wrote this saves images there, not in 'webroot'10:02
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: best would be to keep writeable directories outside the document root :)10:02
DJonespopey: I could see a link between myself & somebody I was helping, I was guessing at about an hour's data/conersations10:02
dogmatic69MartijnVdS: tell me about it...10:02
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: I'm so glad I don't run php10:03
* bigcalm sighs10:03
bigcalmPHP is a good language that gets poorly implimented at times. It shouldn't get the hatred it gets :(10:04
MartijnVdSAgreed, it should get more :P10:04
dogmatic69bigcalm: s/at times/most of the time10:04
MartijnVdSbigcalm: Best would be to create a new user, use PHP as a FastCGI daemon running as that user10:04
MartijnVdSbigcalm: and then chown everything to that new user10:04
dogmatic69my biggest gripe with php is the low barrier to entry10:04
MartijnVdS(fastcgi daemon or autostarting it)10:05

DJonesI always find the cadburys creme eggs to be too sickly sweet11:28
DJonesIn the village where i work, Waitrose does an easter egg hunt for kids & asks some of teh shops to put an egg on display in the window for them to hunt for, with the sun over the last few days, we've now got a 1 inch high block of chocolate in the shop window rather than an egg now11:30
dwatkinswe used to do an easter egg hunt at my parents each year, and we'd always find eggs from the previous year covered in dust11:31

dogmatic69min requirements say 2gb11:45
* dogmatic69 runs it on slicehost 256mb though11:45
HazRPGit was working perfectly in windows server :P11:46

HazRPGso you'd think now that I've shifted it to ubuntu-server instead, it would run better... surely?11:46
dogmatic69working and windows dont go together ;)11:46
shaunoserver shouldn't require 2Gb, runs fine with -Xms1024M for me11:46

shaunoI wish.  that'd make more sense :)12:12
dogmatic69my ex was one when we met... not eaten meat for 10+ years12:13
shauno(she doesn't eat pork products because "pigs don't sweat".  don't ask me, I have no idea what she's on about)12:13
dogmatic69lasted about 2 months and she was on the bacons12:13
oimonthat's because nobody can resist a bacon sarnie12:13
dogmatic69lol12:13
Linux_junkiejust managed to get onto website of minecraft12:13
Linux_junkiewatched the video12:14
oimonchickens don't sweat either12:14
Linux_junkielooks like lego12:14
dogmatic69my mom's ex work colleague was Muslim and ate bacon.. did not know it was pork for more than 2 years12:14
dogmatic69loved every bite12:14
oimondogmatic69: if she got it in subway, it wasn't bacon :)12:14
Linux_junkielol12:14

shaunolego's a not a bad explanation.  it's like second life with more lego, and less intimate moments with horses.12:14
oimon$deity won't be pleased with her12:14
dogmatic69meat surprise12:15
Linux_junkiea lot of muslims eat bacon / pork12:15
oimonLinux_junkie: because it's tasty!12:15
brobostigonquestion, i just ported my number, from one network to another, and it seems to have worked, however my phone is showing the old number for  said sim, not the new ported one.12:15
dogmatic69Linux_junkie: obviously, who can resist bacon?12:15
oimonyou gotta have a good reason not to eat it12:15
dogmatic69brobostigon: if you ported the number does not change, surely?12:16
oimonweak opinions and principles fade away in the presence of bacon sarnie12:16
Linux_junkiei think its only the extremists that are against eating pork12:16
brobostigondogmatic69: i expected my phone to show the change in number, connected to that sim.12:16
oimonLinux_junkie: depends on your definition of extremist12:17
Linux_junkiesomeone whos extreme in their views12:17
Linux_junkieright-wing12:17
oimonlol12:17
oimonif i believe in a God who said you aren't allowed to do $thing , then i don't do the thing. since, by definition God is GOD and said it for a reason12:18
shaunoI don't think extreme has to be right.  they're just more noticable because extreme left are easily ignored hippies.12:18
popeysimplistic view is simplistic12:18
Linux_junkiebut if you believe in God you will also believe that God gave us free-will12:19
dogmatic69not eating something is not exactly extreme, some people do it just to be healthy12:19
oimonfree will to choose right and wrong, yes, but there is still right and wrong12:19
Linux_junkietrue12:19
shaunoright, wrong, and bacon12:19
Linux_junkiebut right and wrong in one persons eyes is not the same in others12:20
oimonright and wrong in God's eyes is surely the only thing that matters, if he is by definition all knowing and all powerful creator $deity?12:21
dogmatic69extreme would be killing people due to ^12:21
shauno(otoh, people are rumoured to taste like bacon ..)12:22
shaunoI read an article a while ago about some device which was meant to be able to determine what something tasted like.12:23
oimoni've got one of those12:23
Linux_junkieits called your tongue12:23
shaunoit determined that a researcher's hand tasted like prosciutto.  and it became immediately apparent how this whole robot takeover was going to happen.12:23
shaunowe're building machines that believe we taste like bacon.  the end is inevitable.12:24
Linux_junkielol12:24
oimonif i didn't bring a home-made pot noodle to work today, i'd definitely be having bacon sarnie right now12:30

DJonesSlightly offtopic, but does anybody have access to a Windows 7 machine that has Sage Line 50 on it? I'm just trying to find out whether its possible to run 2 instances of the program at the same time?12:44
DJonesI thought I'd read that Win7 would allow some apps to do that12:45
oimonmwahahah12:46
oimononce i was saddled with sage 50,100 and 200 support12:47
oimongot out of there quick as i could12:47
DJonesHeh12:48
directhexDJones, i don't think that's possible is it?12:58
directhexDJones, sage locks its user db when someone is using it12:58
DJonesdirecthex: Possibly not because we're using a multi user version13:00
DJonesAs long as I've got two login's, I would be able to login from 2 seperate machines, I'm just wondering whether Win 7's supposed feature of being able to run multiple instances of the same program would let me login twice from the same machine13:02

brobostigonbye, speak later, i am going to pop into town.14:49

shaunoin theory, yes.  it's likely to ruin most your weekend tho14:52
MichealHYeah :P14:53
MichealHAnd what is singleuser?14:53
davmor2MichealH: boot into safe mode you'll be root you can then mod accordingly14:53

davmor2MichealH: Do you have physical access?14:54
MichealHYeah14:54
MichealHOh yeah, shift at grub shows it14:55
davmor2MichealH: then boot into safe mode you can then edit as root, bypassing sudo :)14:56
shaunolkagan's script on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=365889 is actually pretty sane.  it'll query dpkg for the original permissions of anything that's system-installed14:56

daftykinshas anyone encountered the broken MOTD system info about updates after some recent updates for ubuntu server 10.04.2 ?19:44
daftykinsafter a full dist-upgrade and restart, it's still saying there are updates19:44
daftykinsi ran "sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available --force" but now on login it lists the message twice :D one with the updates and one with none (correct)19:44
AzelphurLOL at three (mobiles) content block page!20:25

daftykins=]20:41
daftykinsthat's prime opportunity for a lawsuit in my opinion20:41
