[00:00] <enrique17> hi
[00:00] <ZykoticK9_> themexbob, good luck - sorry I gotta run.  hope you fix it.
[00:00] <themexbob> ZykoticK9_: thanks
[00:01] <ZykoticK9_> themexbob, fyi "grep -i linux_default /etc/default/grub" would show your current settings - if you where booted into the install.
[00:01] <gold_C> hi all ! please who knows how can i register my nickname? TY...
[00:01] <nimbiotics> Lasers, THX!
[00:01] <robin0800> themexbob, run sudo grub-install /dev/sda assuming you only have one hard disk
[00:01] <Lasers> nimbiotics: It worked? (You burned one already?)
[00:03] <OerHeks> !register | gold_C
[00:07] <Farith> hi peeps...
[00:07] <RichW> Is there some indexing software that has a web interface? I want to use it for my file server.
[00:08] <Farith> new to ubuntu...can anyone help me explain why the file transfer rates between disks located on the same machine is super slow?
[00:08] <dr_willis> Farith,  ide/sata/usb? what filesystems? how slow is slow.. and how are you copying files.
[00:08] <Sean93> My screen has developed a yellow ting. it is fine in windows and safe mode so i'm guessing it's driver related. anyway, what should i do?
[00:09] <Cube``> guys, i cant connect my ubuntu laptop to my android droid 2. i can connect to other networks. i managed to connect to a different phone. i can connect other devices to the phone. just laptop <-> phone aint working! :@
[00:09] <Sean93> tinge* (sp?)
[00:10] <Lasers> Sean93: Screenshot.
[00:10] <Farith> hey doc...i have 4 drives in total and running dual boot of win7 home premium and ubuntu server natty....the main partition for the sda is an 80gb sata hdd..partioned via livecd..windows has 40gb and the rest is for natty..the other 3 disks are all sata hdds with varying sizes..all in ntfs...
[00:11] <Farith> dr_willis: slow as in 800kb/s...
[00:11] <escott> Farith, ntfs read/write will be slower since it is a userspace filesystem
[00:11] <Nickkkkk> How do I go to the application folder on ubuntu?
[00:11] <Nickkkkk> What's the path?
[00:12] <Farith> escott: god dang....
[00:12] <escott> Nickkkkk, like a mac? there is no such thing
[00:12] <dr_willis> Nickkkkk,  theres no single application folder.  Whatare you looking for exactly?
[00:12] <Nickkkkk> o.o
[00:12] <Nickkkkk> Oh.
[00:12] <Nickkkkk> I thought there was one :c
[00:12] <Farith> escott: no workaround eh?
[00:12] <Nickkkkk> Because I'm trying to configure the cairo dock.
[00:12] <luckman212> guys where can  I read about the differences between "useradd" and "adduser"   (and userdel / deluser )
[00:12] <Nickkkkk> And that's what I'm looking for :/
[00:12] <escott> Nickkkkk, there are the binaries in /bin /usr/bin etc
[00:13] <Nickkkkk> Oh yeah.
[00:13] <Lasers> luckman212: adduser. Use that.
[00:13] <Nickkkkk> That could work.
[00:13] <luckman212> Lasers: but, I want to understand _why)
[00:13] <Lasers> Sean93: Paste that here -- and I don't see anything.  It could be your monitor.
[00:14] <Lasers> luckman212: If I have to guess, I say preferences.
[00:14] <luckman212> ah, found my answer: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/whats-the-real-difference-between-userdel-and-deluser-824797/
[00:14] <escott> luckman212, the man page for adduser explains it pretty clearly run "man adduser"
[00:14] <luckman212> thanks
[00:15] <th0r> I think I will get a number in india....really psych everyone out <smile>
[00:15] <Sean93> http://f.imgtmp.com/HUVg3.png
[00:15] <BryanRuiz1> hello, it was suggested in a forum to switch to nvidia driver version 173.  Any idea how to do that?
[00:15] <robin0800> Nickkkkk, user/share/applications
[00:16] <Sean93> Lasers, its fine on windows and safe mode
[00:16] <Lasers> Sean93: Looks good. No yellow ring? Your monitor, maybe. :o
[00:16] <Lasers> Sean93: Did you check "Additional Drivers"
[00:17] <Sean93> yes
[00:17] <dr_willis> BryanRuiz1,  run the 'jockey-gtk' app (aka addational-drivers) and select the version to use
[00:17] <BryanRuiz1> dr_willis: thanks very much
[00:17] <Farith> hey dr_willis did you get my response earlier
[00:18] <Lasers> Sean93: Take a screenshot with your phone? I don't see anything wrong.
[00:18] <Lasers> Sean93: Try a different cable. It could be loose. Sometimes I get flickr screen because of the cable, not Ubuntu.
[00:19] <dr_willis> Farith,  ive had issues with usb being slow. but never heard of ide/sata slowness
[00:19] <Nickkkkk> Yay :P Almost done tweaking :3
[00:19] <escott> Farith, If it is because of the userspace fs, then it should be faster if you can use a larger read/write block size. See if cp alows you to control for that. but I have no idea if that is really the cause
[00:19] <clr_> video performance on my new samsung series 9 sucks
[00:19] <Farith> weird thing is...its on the same dang machine....
[00:19] <r3d2> can someone tell my why i have two different gateway mac addresses? im thinking maybe an MITM attack.  this is a pastebin http://pastebin.com/jnW8sMbm  of what im trying to point out. the first part shows airodump...station 74:f0:6d:0d:c8:70 is my mac, which is associated with 00:1f:c6:78:be:30 (this i assume is the gateway, or wireless access point, same thing). the second part is ifconfig so you can see my mac address for verification. 
[00:20] <Farith> since i have dual boot...windows...transfers super fast....
[00:20] <MaxHR> Hello, can someone suggest a version of ubuntu that I can run from a usb pen drive and set it to run completely in ram (under a gig), and also have it be able to be updated, and save home files back to the drive?
[00:20] <Farith> less than 3 minutes for a 4gb file
[00:20] <greenhaze> can someone tell my why i have two different gateway mac addresses? im thinking maybe an MITM attack.  this is a pastebin http://pastebin.com/jnW8sMbm  of what im trying to point out. the first part shows airodump...station 74:f0:6d:0d:c8:70 is my mac, which is associated with 00:1f:c6:78:be:30 (this i assume is the gateway, or wireless access point, same thing). the second part is ifconfig so you can see my mac address for verificat
[00:20] <dr_willis> MaxHR,   the live cd's have a toram option i thougyht. but it may need more then 1gb.
[00:21] <MaxHR> it would need to be a very light version
[00:21] <dr_willis> MaxHR,  theres non-ubuntu disrots that do fit your reqwuirements however.
[00:21] <dr_willis> MaxHR,  i dont think lubuntu can do that. and its about the lightest ubuntu variant with a full desktop ive seen
[00:21] <widewake> would it be wise to update to 11.04?
[00:21] <sta7ic> hello, any good html/website builder tools available via apt-get? im looking for the software to do the work for me for the past instead of text editor and html
[00:22] <sta7ic> widewake: dont fix it if it aint broken
[00:22] <dr_willis> widewake,  if you need the new features.. if you dont.. well..
[00:23] <widewake> roger roger
[00:23] <dr_willis> unless you want to start learning Unity now.
[00:23] <Lasers> sta7ic: Just google "myspace html generator" -- Heh. Hmm. Use kompozer/bluefish/etc? Maybe you want Firebug too. It vary.
[00:24] <sta7ic> Lasers: i went to myspace.com and it just re-directed me to facebook.com
[00:24] <Cube``> guys, i cant connect my ubuntu laptop to my android droid 2. i can connect to other networks. i managed to connect to a different phone. i can connect other devices to the phone. just laptop <-> phone aint working! :@
[00:24] <Lasers> sta7ic: You could use Wordpress or any CMS since you don't want to touch the code, I guess.
[00:24] <dr_willis> Cube``,  connecting how?
[00:25] <sta7ic> Lasers: html isnt code, its just webpages, code is like device drivers for video cards =]
[00:25] <Farith> quit
[00:25] <Farith> :q
[00:25] <Lasers> sta7ic: HTML = Markup language.
[00:26] <Lasers> sta7ic: Anyway. You could ask in #web for suggestions. Some people do use gedit/geany for their web.
[00:26] <sta7ic> Lasers: all in all its just a lame webpage, is my point, take the best written html ever done and its hardly on my top 100 of software i think is rad
[00:26] <sta7ic> anyways, later
[00:27] <Reacon> Hey. I was wondering if someone could help me get vino set up on my remote server using only term
[00:27] <Cube``> dr_willis: wifi tethering
[00:27] <IAmError> How do I install .bin files? like java?
[00:27] <dr_willis> Reacon,   You could use some other VNC server.
[00:27] <Corey> IAmError: Generally you execute them.
[00:27] <escott> IAmError, chmod +x filename.bin; ./filename.bin
[00:27] <sta7ic> IAmError: chmod a+x *.bin;./*.bin
[00:28] <dr_willis> IAmError,  java is in the repos. unless you need the .bin version for some reasion
[00:28] <sta7ic> escott: heh
[00:28] <Reacon> dr_willis: Like what?
[00:28] <dr_willis> Reacon,  vnc4server, tightvnc, tigervnc. x11vnc. theres proberly more in the repos.
[00:28] <Reacon> Thankyou, I'll check those out.
[00:28] <Buttons840> mongodb is started by init, i want init to use a certain flag when starting the db, how would i configure this?
[00:28] <dr_willis> Reacon,  vino shares the CUrrent desktop.. others DONT (well x11vnc does)
[00:29] <dr_willis> Reacon,  you could have a dozen tightvnc sessions goind with differnt users/desktops
[00:29] <Corey> Buttons840: Tweak the startup scripts.
[00:29] <Reacon> dr_willis: That might be useful. I'll get back to you later if I run into any kinks.
[00:30] <Buttons840> Corey: they look like auto-generated bash script, is that really the way to do it?
[00:30] <ksnoopyj> I seem to be having problems with an Atheros AR9285 wireless card randomly dropping connection. It appears to still be connected in the network manager applet, but it isn't.

[00:32] <Corey> Buttons840: Should be a field containing the flags that get passed.
[00:32] <iceroot> is there an easy way to see how big the official natty repos are? (planing to build a local repository)
[00:32] <Mikaze> Hello.  Is the "lame" package in Ubuntu
[00:32] <dr_willis> !info lame
[00:33] <Mikaze> Kewl.  Thanks.
[00:34] <ksnoopyj> Is anyone aware of issues with AR9285 chipset on 11.04, or any ideas how to fix it?
[00:34] <CarlFK> iceroot: I run  http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/squid-deb-proxy  -  might be all you need instead of a full mirror
[00:35] <dr_willis> iceroot,  that apt-cacher-ng server is also handy
[00:35] <ksnoopyj> I found this comment "Wireless (Atheros AR9285) works out of the box, but connection is flaky. To fix, open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic' " at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks
[00:35] <Mikaze> !info sc
[00:35] <Buttons840> Corey: so far all i've seen is a symlink to /lib/init/upstart-job   this script appears to be involved with over half the services, so i'm hesitant to just edit the bash script by hand
[00:35] <dr_willis> Mikaze,  now thats old-skool :)
[00:36] <iceroot> CarlFK: dr_willis ah ok, i was thingink about apt-mirror because i want to manage 300 clients which are not connected to the internet
[00:36] <Mikaze> Yep.  Am blind, so still waiting on the GUI to be worth a crap.
[00:36] <ksnoopyj> but Natty is newer than Karmic, so this information is obviously outdated. Nevertheless, I'm experiencing a "flaky" connection with this wireless card.
[00:36] <CarlFK> iceroot: ah, if they aren't connected then the squid thing isn't gonna work
[00:36] <Guest99969> I'm looking to use a western digital caviar black hard drive. I've heard of some that don't work with linux/windows7. Does anyone know which ones I should avoid?
[00:37] <stercor> When I insert my 16Gb flash drive, it doesn't automount.  How do I mount it, or find out the /dev entry?
[00:37] <iceroot> CarlFK: its the same as apt-proxy i guess which is downloading the package on the first host and all other hosts are asking host1 if he already has the package cached
[00:37] <peto_> hi how can i remove the app and folder icon in laucher?? :)
[00:38] <CarlFK> iceroot: yeah, I think so. I ran 2 other proxy like things before squid - both were a pain.  never bothered to build a mirror.
[00:38] <dr_willis> stercor,  'dmesg' command or 'blkid' or   'sudo fdisk -l'
[00:38] <dr_willis> stercor,  then use the proper mount command.
[00:38] <zvacet> stercor:  see if https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB help
[00:38] <stercor> Thanks!  I'm off and running.
[00:39] <iceroot> CarlFK: the problem with squid was that squid was caching the packages-file and then apt-get was running in many many errors because the packages-file was to old...
[00:39] <iceroot> CarlFK: but thanks for the infos but i will use apt-mirror to sync all ubuntu-repos
[00:39] <Weinie> Hi
[00:39]  * Mikaze waves...
[00:39] <Mikaze> Keep well, all...
[00:39] <CarlFK> iceroot: did you get the squid config for caching deb's?
[00:39] <iceroot> CarlFK: i guess 60GB should be ok
[00:40] <iceroot> CarlFK: yes but with that configs there was sometimes the error with the packages-file
[00:41] <peto_> hi how can i remove the app and folder icon in laucher?? :)
[00:41] <CarlFK> iceroot: yeah, i get that about onece a month.  I looked up the command to delete it from the cache. and lost it, so now I just wait for it to expire :)
[00:41] <chrisf> hi #ubuntu; is there a reasonable way to get some kind of dialog when an X app crashes? just vanishing isnt very nice -- i keep discovering my music player has crashed when i realise there's been no music for the past 1/2h, etc
[00:41] <dr_willis> peto_,  i recall some info at the webupd8 site on tweaking unity. but i never looked into it much. i dont even have it bookmarked any more
[00:42] <iceroot> CarlFK: did you manage to delete a single file in the squid cache? as it seems never squid versions doesnt support hat
[00:42] <dr_willis> peto_,  may be -> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html
[00:42] <peto_> dr_willis: i watched there but I didn't find it
[00:42] <Guest99969> has anyone else heard of caviar black hard drives from western digital not working with linux?
[00:43] <iceroot> CarlFK: newer
[00:43] <dr_willis> peto_,  i saw it there or at the omgubuntu site. those are about the only 2 i ever read.
[00:43] <CarlFK> iceroot: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/OperatingSquid#How_can_I_purge_an_object_from_my_cache.3F
[00:43] <dr_willis> peto_,  i recall doing it.. :) so its doable.
[00:43] <iceroot> CarlFK: ah sounds great
[00:43] <Nickkkkk_> Oh my word.

[00:49] <canon> ok, who here knows irc tips n tricks? I have a possible issue.
[00:50] <Corey> canon: Ask your question.
[00:50] <canon> I signed into a channel, security channel, asked for help, my interenet was disconnected/reconnected then when I tried to sign back in, my name was being used in the channel
[00:51] <escott_> canon, it will take some time for the servers to realize you are gone
[00:51] <canon> it's never happened like that before, but I can see your point
[00:51] <canon> I just hope it's nothing I need to be concerned about
[00:51] <Corey> canon: There's a timeout period.  You can /ns ghost it.
[00:51] <stercor> I got the flash drive mounted, copied a file to it (had to use sudo).  The new problem is that I can't change the ownership of the files (they're all owned by root), either by sudo or by su'ing to root.
[00:52] <canon> ..ghost?

[01:16] <m_fulder> I have my working homepage .. on <myIP>/myFolder  ... that I want to make a vhost to myDomain.com...then I have another site on <myIp>/mySecondFolder which I want to bind to second.myDomain.com .. is this possible?
[01:16] <DuFF> It's a good penis pump, I've already gained about 3 inches
[01:16] <WindowsMojave> Hey everyone
[01:16] <CarlFK> DuFF: please stop.
[01:16] <WindowsMojave> http://hostingpad.co.cc
[01:16] <Osmodivs> !Google | Pyro_Killer
[01:16] <Osmodivs> !google | Pyro_Killer
[01:17] <szal> Osmodivs: ls -lA /usr/share/fonts/ <- to pastebin please, and telling us the name of what you copied there wouldn't hurt either
[01:17] <WindowsMojave> That is my FREE Cpanel web host ;) http://hostingpad.co.cc
[01:17] <Corey> WindowsMojave: Stop advertising here please.
[01:17] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: On my system, the entire directory structure of /usr/share/fonts is root:root and it works just fine.
[01:18] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre, Then how come they do not have that ROOT only icon?
[01:18] <szal> Osmodivs: what icon?
[01:18] <rationalOgre> szal: He's looking at it in nautilus.
[01:18] <usr13> Osmodivs: I think you are barking up the wrong tree.  There is some other reason the fonts are not accessable.  You need to look at the information that was provided to you by ubottu
[01:19] <szal> rationalOgre: ah, no idea about that (KDE here)
[01:19] <dzzz> Hi, is there some trick to starting grub upon boot?
[01:19] <dzzz> i saw it once
[01:19] <szal> dzzz: huh?
[01:19] <dzzz> is there a hotkey, my system is unbootable right now
[01:19] <szal> define 'unbootable' (exact output, if possible)
[01:19] <Pyro_Killer> CarlIFK: do you know how to, i would greatly appreciate it
[01:19] <dzzz> I put in an ATI card, framebuffer console is giving a black screen
[01:20] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: It means you need to sudo chmod +r filename
[01:20] <dzzz> so i want to do vga=normal
[01:20] <CarlFK> Pyro_Killer: you put the new lines inside the  <Directory ...     </Directory> block.  it goes outside of it.
[01:20] <szal> dzzz: just so you know, framebuffer console is _after_ Grub
[01:20] <dzzz> i thought its a kernel param
[01:20] <Osmodivs> szal, http://pastebin.com/q67R79Qd Ok, thas cool
[01:20] <dzzz> that i can set if i do e before booting
[01:21] <usr13> Osmodivs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[01:21] <dzzz> so is there a hotkey to get to grub?
[01:21] <jcgs> dzzz: i think you might need to press shift while booting to get the grub menu up, rather than going straight past it
[01:21] <Osmodivs> that's cool, I think it means that everything there is ROOT
[01:21] <dzzz> lemmie try that
[01:21] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: What is the name of the font again please?
[01:22] <szal> Osmodivs: looks pretty normal from here, all users have read permissions, that's all you need to use a font
[01:22] <Pyro_Killer> CarlIFK: thank you so much, i appreciate your help, this place is a dump, i dont know how you stand it
[01:23] <intlkleinblue> Hello all, I was updating today when I got this error:
[01:23] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: what szal said.
[01:23] <intlkleinblue> W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4EA3A911D48B8E25
[01:23] <intlkleinblue> There was a simple solution to this before, does anyone know wat do?
[01:23] <CarlFK> Pyro_Killer: it has it's bad apples, but i wouldn't call it a dump.
[01:23] <qin> dzzz: Do you ask where is "Shift" key?
[01:23] <jcgs> Pyro_Killer: anything we can do to make it better?
[01:24] <CarlFK> Pyro_Killer: btw, try #httpd for a different experience :)
[01:24] <dzzz> It says "grub loading"
[01:24] <dzzz> then never shows grub's menu
[01:24] <qin> dzzz: Ups, problem with scrolling, sorry.
[01:24] <IAmError> how do you install other desktop environments? is it like: sudo apt-get install kde?
[01:24] <lwizardl> Hello
[01:24] <nit-wit> IAmError, yes
[01:24] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre,  -rw-r-----  1 root root  56104 2011-06-15 19:22 soviet_stencil.ttf
[01:24] <dzzz> problem with scrolling?
[01:24] <rationalOgre> dzzz: you have to hold the shift key while booting, not just press it
[01:24] <escott> IAmError, pretty much sometimes it is something like kde-desktop so check synaptic
[01:25] <lwizardl> does anyone here know much about the RIP Network setups for Large format printers in linux ? My printer seems to use cat5 for connection
[01:25] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: You need to execute sudo chmod +r /usr/share/fonts/soviet_stencil.ttf
[01:25] <qin> dzzz: You need LiveCD/USB. My pgdw was too fast, havent read all.
[01:25] <usr13> IAmError: kubuntu-desktop - Kubuntu Plasma Desktop system
[01:26] <jcgs> qin: I think there are a couple of steps we can try before resorting to that, but that's not a bad idea
[01:26] <szal> rationalOgre, Osmodivs: to be precise, sudo chmod o+r /usr/share/fonts/soviet_stencil.ttf
[01:27] <rationalOgre> szal: putting nothing before the + makes it as if a+r were given....
[01:27] <rationalOgre> szal: I realize o+r is technically correct, but a+r will harm nothing.
[01:27] <Osmodivs> szal,  Well, I don't want to mess with that kind of stuff, last time I did something like that, all files (That were not suposed to) changed permissions and the system was all fu*** up
[01:27] <IAmError> usr13: how is that compared to the gnome desktop? I heard KDE comes with more "options" available to change it's settings at the ready
[01:27] <szal> Osmodivs: you
[01:27] <Osmodivs> If you all say that this font is accesible as a normal user, I'll belive in you
[01:28] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: At this time, that particular font is not, Osmodivs
[01:28] <szal> Osmodivs: you're already "messing with that kind of stuff" by putting things in /usr/share/fonts/ that don't come there by installing pkgs
[01:28] <qin> Osmodivs: -R and +r even looks different.
[01:28] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre, Then I am gonna have to change permissions to ALL fonts, don't  I?
[01:28] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: no
[01:28] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: to THAT font
[01:29] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: Unless you have copied over others beyond soviet_stencil.ttf
[01:29] <jcgs> dzzz: how's it going? if you can't get it to work, you'll be able to hand-edit the grub settings if you've got a live cd lying around...
[01:29] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: in which case you will need to give them global read permission. (which is what sudo chmod o+r <filename> does)
[01:30] <usr13> IAmError: Well, that is a complicated question, but simply put, KDE has options that Gnome does not have, yes that is true.  They are different, true.  Is KDE more feature rich... well maybe a little.  Does KDE offer more customization options?; Yes a few more.
[01:30] <Technicus> I am having trouble using Xsane, with the Canon LiDE 110 which is reported to be supported by the Sane development team.  How do I get the scanner to work?
[01:30] <dzzz> So friggen annoying...
[01:30] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre, For some reasons it does not apear in the Character Map app, I even updated the cache with sudo fc-cache -f
[01:30] <jcgs> dzzz:?
[01:30] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: Did you change the permissions for it?
[01:30] <guampa> i've asked in #vbox but without success so far, i'm having issues trying to get networking in a win7 guest, host == ubuntu 10.10 with the last oracle version, al vbox* modules are loaded
[01:31] <IAmError> usr13: well that sounds right up my alley then. Thanks. :)
[01:31] <dzzz> just getting a black screen, tried vga=normal, and nofb
[01:31] <escott> Osmodivs, you may need to restart X
[01:31] <guampa> some help would be awesome
[01:31] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre, Not yet
[01:31] <rationalOgre> Then that is why it is not showing up...
[01:31] <Osmodivs> let me restart and see what happens
[01:31] <rypervenche> IAmError: KDE is the most resource-heavy of them. Between the 4 main DEs, from lightest to heaviest they are, LXDE, Xfce, Gnome, KDE. I used to use Gnome2.x, now I use Xfce. It's all about what you want.
[01:31] <usr13> IAmError: NP
[01:31]  * rationalOgre sighs
[01:31] <james23> Morning!
[01:31] <szal> guampa: unless you're doing some fancy bridging stuff or whatever, that should work out of the box
[01:32] <jcgs> dzzz: have you tried a livecd for comparison? if you've got one lying around that is...
[01:32] <james23> Is it possible to partition a USB drive and have one partition for file transfers and the other partition for an Ubuntu LIveCD?
[01:32] <dr_willis> latest benchmarks ive seen on KDE - show its not too heavy these days. :)
[01:32] <guampa> szal: i thought so, but the only way i got to the outside was with NAT, and that is just what i CAN'T use for my needs (have to test VPNs)
[01:32] <escott> james23, yes but windows hates it
[01:32] <dzzz> I can boot to "safe mode" fine, I'll just disable GDM and rip everything graphical out of the startup somehow
[01:32] <dr_willis> james23,  yes its doable. You could evne set up grub2 on it to boot an iso file from a single partition if you wanted
[01:32] <chrisf> james23: nothing stopping you just putting random files in a directory on the live image...
[01:33] <guampa> szal: with vbox own bridging the adapter shows as if had no link
[01:33] <guampa> *it
[01:33] <jcgs> dzzz: is gdm the problem? do you get the fancy coloured bootscreen (plymouth)
[01:33] <james23> chrisf: I did that and I think it messed it up
[01:33] <jcgs> dzzz: seems a little bit drastic
[01:33] <guampa> szal: thought of using brctl and bridge the vboxnet adpater with my wan but it stil shows up as unlinked
[01:33] <dzzz> no, not getting the bootscreen
[01:34] <dzzz> i instantly get a blackscreen after grub
[01:34] <james23> to all: if make an ubuntu usb startup disc, is that the same as a usb live cd?
[01:34] <dzzz> my HD light flickers so stuff is going on, just no video
[01:34] <dr_willis> theres the 'text' option that disables gdm and plymouth.. boots straight to the console
[01:34] <guampa> szal: so no comm trough the point to point link
[01:34] <dr_willis> james23,  yes. its one way to put an live-session on a usb.
[01:34] <chrisf> james23: i used the startup disk creator thing, and just put more junk on it and it still worked.
[01:34] <james23> and if I download programs and install them, will they be there the next time I use the USB?
[01:34] <dr_willis> james23,   if you make a persistant-save file - yes.
[01:34] <james23> Mm
[01:34] <jcgs> dzzz: then it sounds like plymouth is your problem, not gdm
[01:35] <james23> researching, thankyou
[01:35] <dr_willis> you can do a 'full normal' install to a usb - if its big enough
[01:35] <jcgs> dzzz: you could try replacing splash with nosplash
[01:35] <IAmError> rypervenche: What's xfce? You say it's light weight? How so?
[01:35] <szal> dzzz: in case you didn
[01:36] <jcgs> dzzz: and getting rid of quiet, that will mean you have a chance of seeing where things are going wrong
[01:36] <james23> dr_willis: it's around 14 gigs
[01:36] <ruser> is this normal during the distro upgrade process? http://paste.ubuntu.com/627705/
[01:36] <james23> dr_willis: is that a better option than persistant save?
[01:36] <rypervenche> IAmError: They are all different Desktop Environments. http://www.xubuntu.org/
[01:36] <dr_willis> james23,  you can do a full install then.. but windows wont be able to read the  used partitions.
[01:36] <dr_willis> james23,  eprsistant setups can be quirky when you try to install tio many things, or update/upgrade them
[01:37] <james23> Mmm
[01:37] <ruser> is this normal during the distro upgrade process? http://paste.ubuntu.com/627705/   see the line with .: 4: Can't open /scripts/functions
[01:37] <szal> dzzz: in case you didn't already -> try deleting "quiet" from the line in /etc/default/grub that says "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=", optionally put "verbose" in there (should, in theory, show more text output on boot), then run 'sudo update-grub'
[01:37] <james23> About how much room should I use for a full install?
[01:37] <dr_willis> but they are more flexiable when moving from differnt machines.
[01:37] <dr_willis> Normal full ubuntu install wants like 10gb i think
[01:37] <dr_willis> Lubuntu is smaller. 5gb perhaps
[01:38] <dr_willis> or so i recall seeing the  'suggested' info being at the start of the installer..   depends on what you want to do with the install also
[01:38] <Rigorm0rtis> Hello, does anyone know if hardware AES acceleration (on intel procs) works with dmcrypt in Ubuntu Natty?
[01:38] <qin> dr_willis: xubuntu (Natty) ask for 4.4
[01:38] <james23> dr_willis: I'm mainly doing this to scan my gfs computer with clamAV,
[01:38] <FlexGuy> anybody can help activate or mount raid5 array ( /dev/md0 )
[01:38] <dr_willis> james23,  there are Live-cd's out taht include clamav allready
[01:39] <rationalOgre> james23: Then why not use a livecd like TRK?
[01:39] <rationalOgre> james23: Trinity Rescue Kit
[01:39] <dr_willis> I recall other av makers having live cds also
[01:39] <rypervenche> dzzz: I personally find Xfce to be very customizable. There are many other DEs that you can use as well. The world is your oyster.
[01:39] <Rigorm0rtis> flexguy, ask your question...
[01:39] <rationalOgre> dr_willis: TRK has like 4 or more AV's on it. Plus a host of other tools. I keep a copy of it around.
[01:40] <dzzz> i use xfce
[01:40] <jcgs> rypervenche: was that supposed to go to james23?
[01:41] <dzzz> rebooting, hope making those changes to the grub file does the trick :()
 anybody can help activate or mount raid5 array ( /dev/md0 ) anybody knows at least a channe lfor help of this kind?
[01:41] <Rigorm0rtis> FlexGuy, ask your question
[01:41] <jcgs> drwillis, rationalOgre there's also backtrack as well,
[01:41] <FlexGuy> ok un momento
[01:42] <dzzz> nope...
[01:42] <dzzz> weird that i can boot recovery mode fine
[01:42] <jcgs> dzzz: did you run update-grub?
[01:42] <dzzz> yup
[01:42] <rationalOgre> jcgs: Thats more for penetration testing. TRK is specifically engineered for rescuing windows installs.
 anybody can help activate or mount raid5 array ( /dev/md0 )
[01:42] <tiox> Is there a way to have emulated surround sound with headphones in ubuntu?
[01:42] <szal> dr_willis: /dev/sdb1              15G  3.7G   11G  27% / <- Kubuntu Natty, installed ~3 weeks ago
[01:42] <FlexGuy> what i ahve to do isntead ?
[01:43] <szal> !repeat | FlexGuy
[01:43] <jcgs> FlexGuy: the answer is probably yes, but you have tobe a bit more specific, can you describe what problem your having?
[01:43] <FlexGuy> cat /proc/mdstat
[01:43] <FlexGuy> Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]

[01:43] <dzzz> so can plymoth be removed somehow?
[01:43] <FlexGuy> I need to activate the raid first
[01:43] <jcgs> FlexGuy: also is english your first language?
[01:43] <FlexGuy> no lol
[01:43] <Nisstyre> yes

[01:45] <rww> I'll go look at it. Repeatedly requesting factoids will not help matters :P
[01:45] <FlexGuy> so anybody can help me for the command to activate first the raid array ?
[01:45] <jcgs> yup :( won't respoind to pm
[01:45] <rww> ah, the Pici got there first ;P
[01:45] <rationalOgre> rww: We were just testing. Sorry.
[01:46] <joaquin> hoik+}
[01:47] <jcgs> FlexGuy: how do you know the raid array needs acitvating? what problem is it causing you?
[01:49] <Rigorm0rtis> his mdstat says it's inactive

[01:50] <jcgs> is that the dcc exploit again?
[01:50] <george_> quick question, when you're installing a distro and already have a separate partition for your home folder, the data in your home folder won't get overwritten with that of the new distro will it?
[01:50] <szal> !ping
[01:51] <rww> jcgs: no

[01:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi ubuntu, karmic is missing from http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=oem, but i dont' see it on http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ . is there a 3rd place to look?
[01:53] <szal> !eol | Kamping_Kaiser
[01:53] <rationalOgre> george_: Depends entirely on the distro. Typically no, though you generally have to be careful to not format the /home mount when installing.
[01:54] <Rigorm0rtis> is there any way to experiment with ubottu without flooding the channel?
[01:54] <rww> Rigorm0rtis: /msg ubottu
[01:54] <szal> Rigorm0rtis: private chat
[01:54] <george_> rationalOgre, alright, I guess it's best to just make a backup of the home folder, just in case, thanks
[01:54] <rww> Kamping_Kaiser: it's EOL, so it's not on packages.ubuntu.com, but its packages haven't been moved off the mirror system yet, so it's not on old-releases.ubuntu.com.
[01:54] <rationalOgre> george_: It's wise.
[01:55] <rationalOgre> george_: Either by just backing up the contents or making an image of that partition.
[01:55] <szal> !fr | FlexGuy <- just in case you don't know that yet
[01:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> rww: ah. i'll grab them off archive then. thanks for that :)

[01:56] <george_> rationalOgre, probably easier to just tar it ;)
[01:56] <rationalOgre> george_: Yeah. And lzma it
[01:56] <dzzz> heh force uninstalled plymoth and it works now
[01:57] <george_> rationalOgre, don't have much data, but I'll try it, I'm actually kind of interested in how much it'll compress it to
[01:58] <rationalOgre> george_: enjoy. :)
[01:58] <rationalOgre> george_: lzma can do some pretty impressive compression
[01:58] <george_> rationalOgre, never tried it
[01:58] <SailorReality> would you suggest I leave Ubuntu on or shut it off each night before i go to bed?
[01:59] <rww> SailorReality: I have computers that do both. It doesn't make much of a difference.
[01:59] <rationalOgre> SailorReality: Depends upon if you want your computer sipping power all night long or not?
[01:59] <Rigorm0rtis> SailorReality, it's not really about what OS you're using, but I always like turning my machines off when i'm not using them. Gives them less time to suck in dust.
[02:00] <SailorReality> okthx
[02:01] <george_> rationalOgre, while I'm here, might anyone know what might be causing me to get device descriptor read/64, error -84 error messages, is it faulty usb ports on my mobo?
[02:07] <rationalOgre> george_: hold a moment.
[02:07] <Osmodivs> szal, Well, I think I should have changed the permissions to that file: http://pastebin.com/7WvhzjVs
[02:07] <george_> rationalOgre, sure
[02:07] <rationalOgre> george_: what version of ubuntu please?
[02:08] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre, http://pastebin.com/7WvhzjVs
[02:08] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre, Yep, I should have changed the permissions
[02:08] <george_> rationalOgre, not ubuntu unfortunately, but I was having same problem on a 11.04 livecd I tried
[02:09] <rationalOgre> george_: it's the usb autosuspend featuer
[02:10] <rationalOgre> george_: You need to figure out how to set usb.autosuspend=-1
[02:10] <rationalOgre> sorry usbcore.autosuspend=-1
[02:10] <george_> rationalOgre, hmm let me see
[02:12] <rationalOgre> george_: On ubuntu you can do it with echo -1 | sudo tee /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
[02:12] <Corey> !ping
[02:12] <rationalOgre> george_: Then reboot
[02:12] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: Yep.
[02:13] <shingen> if I see this after a fresh install right after login (on ubuntu classic), what does this mean?
[02:13] <shingen> The panel encountered a problem while loading "ClockAppletFactory::ClockApplet".
[02:13] <george_> rationalOgre, i think I might have tried this when i was looking for a solution, but let me try it out, hope it works brb
[02:13] <rationalOgre> george_: If you are in a livecd environment it wont work.
[02:14] <shingen> I've done two installs, the first install resulted in another gnome applet failing, this time around it's the clock...
[02:14] <rationalOgre> george_: As the change wont persist across boots
[02:14] <george_> rationalOgre, trying it on my distro, hiping it works
[02:14] <rationalOgre> george_: What distro?
[02:14] <Corey> !list
[02:14] <george_> rationalOgre, not in live right now
[02:14] <george_> rationalOgre, crunchbang, it's a distro based on debian
[02:14] <shingen> I don't think the media is corrupt, as I've used this usb drive to successfully install to my desktop without any similar errors
[02:14] <rationalOgre> george_: you can cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend and see if it's there.
[02:15] <Chaiwalla> hey ppl
[02:15] <shingen> any ideas as to what might be failing during the install process to cause such an error upon initial and subsequent logins?
[02:15] <bigeye> Can I restore position of menu bar to previous version?
[02:15] <shingen> bigeye: when logging in, change ubuntu to ubuntu classic before typing in your password
[02:16] <george_> rationalOgre, it says -1 so i think the command you gave at least worked, now let me reboot and see if the usb works now :)
[02:16] <george_> rationalOgre, thanks for the hlp, brb
[02:16] <rationalOgre> shingen: did you verify the md5sum of the .iso you used to create the usb before burning it?
[02:16] <rationalOgre> george_: ok
[02:16] <shingen> rationalOgre: truthfully, no, but I've never had a corrupt download and I've successfully done an install on another machine about three hours prior to the initial install :)
[02:18] <Corey> shingen: Force a reinstall of that particular package.
[02:19] <shingen> corey: seems like it's gnome-panel-bobnobo? (for the clock in classic)???
[02:19] <Corey> shingen: Give it a try either way.    apt-get --reinstall install $package
[02:20] <Corey> sudo, obviously.
[02:20] <bigeye> shingen: Thanks, but Menu bar is also appeared on unity panel in Ubuntu classic. I want to locate menubar under the title.
[02:20] <shingen> Corey: right, but I'm trying to determine the right package... I'm fine with forcing a package install ;)
[02:20] <Corey> shingen: This is a new install?
[02:20] <shingen> Corey: yes
[02:21] <rationalOgre> shingen: Worth checking just to be sure.
[02:21] <rationalOgre> shingen: I always verify before burning, never know when a sector of the disk will go bad out from under a file.
[02:22] <shingen> rationalOgre, right and normally I'd agree with you, but I just did an install 3 hours prior on another machine, no problems... I'll try doing a reinstall of gnome-panel-bonobo and see if that works
[02:23] <rationalOgre> shingen: Best of luck to you.
[02:23] <alex__> is there an ipod channel?
[02:25] <kunfu> Hi, please, I need some help. Should I install ubuntu 32bits or 64 bits? this is my cat /proc/cpuinfo  http://pastebin.com/8ZwBBAAr
[02:25] <Rigorm0rtis> connecting to freenode over IPv6 feels good. Even if there's probably more latency because it's tunneled :)
[02:25] <dr_willis> kunfu,  how much ram do you have? if less then 4gb. you could do 32bit on a 64bit cpu and not lose out on much.
[02:26] <george> rationalOgre, hmm, nah, didn't do it, i think it might be mobo problem though
[02:26] <szal> kunfu: if I'm not totally mistaken, that's a 32bit CPU
[02:26] <Rigorm0rtis> szal, I think it's 32-bit as well
[02:26] <shingen> w00t, error went away with a reinstall of gnome-panel-bonobo
[02:26] <shingen> thanks Corey
[02:26] <rationalOgre> george: That's possible.
[02:26] <kunfu> I have only 1 gb of ram, I don't know if 64 bits benefits this computer. szal  dr_willis
[02:26] <Corey> shingen: Glad you got it sorted.
[02:27] <Corey> shingen: YOu're not likely to break anything by forcibly reinstalling a package.
[02:27] <dr_willis> kunfu,  go 32bit then
[02:27] <Corey> Not unless you've done something ill advised. :-)
[02:27] <Corey> kunfu: Doesn't much matter either way.
[02:27] <george> rationalOgre, well thanks for your help :)
[02:27] <szal> kunfu: it's likely not possible to run 64bit with that processor
[02:28] <Corey> kunfu: That's a 32 bit proc.
[02:28] <rationalOgre> george: No problem. Sorry it didn't work.
[02:28] <Corey> So that makes your decision for you.
[02:28] <szal> kunfu: and 1700 MHz looks awfully slow for what's designated "3000+"; I had a Sempron 2800+ that ran on 2000 MHz out of the box
[02:28] <dr_willis> could be its reporting its throttled speed
[02:28] <kunfu> ok thank you all. it is possible to run 64 bits, because I have done it :P but it seemed slower than 32. Thats why im confused, also the box of the motherboard says something like 64bits vista :S
[02:29] <axion> the bios always reported the + speed based upon the cpu-clock
[02:29] <kunfu> So maybe I could buy a better cpu? for this motherboard? is that what you mean szal ?
[02:29] <rationalOgre> what's wierd is, sempron 3000+ is supposed to have 512k of cache. that has 256k
[02:29] <rationalOgre> *weird
[02:30] <lahwran> how do I make ssh ask me for my key password every connection?
[02:30] <axion> it's not weird at all if you are overclocking
[02:30] <dr_willis> for that old a system - can you even get a newer cpu for a reasonable price.
[02:30] <shingen> weren't there two flavors of sempron?
[02:30] <szal> kunfu: unlikely; if I'm not mistaken that's Socket A, and the fastest you get is the rare and pricey Athlon XP 3200+
[02:30] <happyface> WOW, GoToMeeting doesn't work on Linunx? WHAT A JOKE
[02:31] <dr_willis> happyface,  never heard of it..  so complain to the developer perhaps?
[02:31] <szal> happyface: (1) what the what is that?  (2) "doesn't work" is NOT a precise error description
[02:31] <shingen> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Sempron_microprocessors <--- the 256k version is a 939 socket
[02:31] <shingen> for 3200+
[02:32] <cgc> ffmpeg: relocation error: /usr/lib/libavfilter.so.1: symbol sws_isSupportedInput, version LIBSWSCALE_0 not defined in file libswscale.so.0 with link time reference
[02:32] <Corey> happyface: A lot of "enterprisey" things don't.
[02:32] <Corey> happyface: Time to find a workaround / run a VM for it.
[02:32] <szal> ok, if it's Socket 939, that'd make room for an Athlon64 X2
[02:32] <kunfu> So no way that I can get a faster computer unless I throw it out of the window? by buying a cheap used cpu or more ram? szal dr_willis shingen
[02:33] <jhala> how do i create a iso from existing ubuntu installation
[02:33] <shingen> wow, sempron is a nasty mess of crappy name recycling... bad marketing on AMD's part
[02:33] <dr_willis> kunfu,  if you can even find the parts..
[02:33] <dr_willis> kunfu,  finding more ram is proberly easier then finding a cpu.
[02:33] <cgc> ffmpeg can`t use and it tells: ffmpeg: relocation error: /usr/lib/libavfilter.so.1: symbol sws_isSupportedInput, version LIBSWSCALE_0 not defined in file libswscale.so.0 with link time reference
[02:33] <szal> kunfu: see above; Socket 939 -> Athlon64 X2
[02:33] <shingen> kunfu, if you can find something, check out pricewatch.com, they sell all sorts of old CPUs
[02:34] <shingen> kunfu: or there is always ebay.com
[02:34] <jhala> should i again download iso to create bootable usb or can i create a iso from existing installation?
[02:34] <rationalOgre> kunfu: might want to figure out what your motherboard can support before going off to purchase stuff though.
[02:34] <rationalOgre> jhala: download the iso.
[02:34] <shingen> kunfu, I agree with rationalOgre...  try to find out the model of your motherboard and read up on what it can support
[02:35] <jhala> rational0gre: why not create from files i have already ?
[02:35] <kunfu> so I just need to find a socket 939 compatible cpu? that is all?
[02:35] <Angstromboli> so i've enabled bitlocker on windows 7 which i've been dual booting with ubuntu, but now when i try to boot ubuntu i get "try (hd0,0): NTFS5:" and it stays there
[02:35] <shingen> kunfu, verify first since you're going to need to open your machine anyway to replace... might as well now before you spend $$$ than later and be disappointed
[02:35] <alejandro23> i just bought the alfa wifi network usb and i already have a brodcom on wlan0. On wlan1 it says realtek. Does the realtek reperesent alfa? and how do i switch them?
[02:35] <rationalOgre> jhala: Because there are a lot of things needed for a "live distro" that you don't have.
[02:36] <sunscreen2> http://img690.imageshack.us/i/ballsx.png/ <-- what is causing the transparency issue..intel xorg driver, i have tried to turn on composite
[02:36] <shingen> kunfu, look for something uniquely identifying the motherboard make and model, so you can find the specs or the manual
[02:36] <alejandro23> how do i use the alfa to connect to the intenet?
[02:36] <alejandro23> internet*
[02:36] <rationalOgre> alejandro23: does your system come with a wifi chip built in?
[02:37] <Corey> kunfu: dmidecode gives you more than you want to know about your hardware.
[02:37] <Buttons840> mongodb says it will listen to "all local ips" by default - does this mean only 127.0.0.1 or might this also mean 192.*.*.* ?
[02:37] <shaun> Hello, is there anyone who could help me out with a few "beginner" things?
[02:37] <jhala> rational0gre: i have a 10.10 netbook iso and then upgraded it to natty. can i get anything out of this iso?
[02:37] <Corey> Buttons840: It'll listen to anything bound to an interface on its box.
[02:37] <Corey> shaun: Not if you don't ask .:_)
[02:37] <Aginor> Buttons840, it probably means 0.0.0.0, which is any ip address you have on the machine
[02:37] <Corey> jhala: "Old packages" only really.
[02:38] <shaun> Hm, thank you Corey xD . Firstly, I am not sure how to address specific people, so bare with me please.
[02:38] <shaun> Second, I am new to running  a Ubuntu server.
[02:38] <george> so why did ubuntu decide to create unity when gnome 3 has a very similar interface?
[02:38] <tagny> Please, Can someone help me? I'm dummy on this server
[02:38] <rationalOgre> jhala: If by "from this iso" you mean, from your present installation, no not really.
[02:38] <Corey> shaun: Their name works.  First few letters of their name, press tab, it should autocomplete.
[02:38] <Aginor> !ask | tagny
[02:38] <szal> kunfu, shingen: from the above Wiki article it looks like it's even Socket AM2 -> buy a new AthlonII CPU (X2 start at ~€40)
[02:38] <rationalOgre> george: Difference of "vision".
[02:39] <shingen> szal: I thought we determined he had a socket 939? that's not AM2...
[02:39] <shaun> Corey: Thank you. I need to install two "tar.gz" files. However, none of the tutorials I have watched work.
[02:39] <shingen> szal: because he mentioned 256K onboard cache...
[02:39] <george> rationalOgre, hmm, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out
[02:39] <szal> shingen: that's what _you_ said, I only took your word ;)
[02:39] <alejandro23> rational0gre, yes
[02:39] <sunscreen2> i got a quad core athlon 2 and semi ok little board for just 120gbp the other day..turn out to be quite a nice little machine
[02:39] <george> shingen, socket AM2 support 939 processors
[02:39] <shingen> kunfu / szal: AMD's sempron naming convention is a frigging mess... I'd forget trying to identify by CPU and get info for the mobo itself
[02:40] <shingen> george, ahh, ic...
[02:40] <jhala> rational0gre / Corey: what if i dont want a live usb and just a usb for installing it on another system?
[02:40] <Corey> shaun: cd into the directory they reside within.  tar -xvf file.tar.gz
[02:40] <tagny> what are you talking about?
[02:40] <szal> shingen: Sempron 3000+ 	1600 MHz 	256 KB 	800 MHz 	8x 	1.25-1.40 V 	62 W 	23 May 2006 	SDA3000IAA3CN <- that's a Manila core (Socket AM2), available in 2 form factors
[02:40] <dijonyummy123> is there easy way to split ape file into mp3's in linux
[02:41] <shaun> Corey, I tried cd into the directory and then I used ./config and I got the error "no such file or directory"
[02:41] <axion> jhala, I have several successfull installations on usb-sticks, those are actual installations with the usb stick as the primary root fs
[02:41] <shaun> Corey, so try -xvf file.tar.gz?
[02:41] <tagny> Ubuntu 11.10 coming soon!
[02:41] <shingen> szal: I thought I heard it was a 3200+ ?
[02:41] <szal> kunfu: bottom line: the reference for what you should or should not buy is the user's manual of your motherboard
[02:41] <axion> jhala, just make shure your usb stick is a fast one
[02:42] <shingen> kunfu / szal: agreed, check out your mobo manual :)
[02:42] <szal> shingen: then I either misread or it was a Freudian slip
[02:42] <axion> jhala, a really fast one
[02:42] <alejandro23> rationalOgre, yes brodcom came with my system. it is on wlan0
[02:42]  * ElCulebras is back from the dead. Gone 128 hrs 14 min 47 secs
[02:43] <szal> ElCulebras: please turn public away/back notifications off
[02:43] <jhala> axion: i have a sandisk cruzer. but what method did u use . which command?
[02:43] <ElCulebras> szal: ok
[02:43] <rationalOgre> alejandro23: Then go into your systems BIOS and disable it and your new wifi card should become wlan0
[02:44] <axion> jhala, I am talking about a regular installation on a usb stick, so a an installation on a usb stick just like you would on any internal hdd..
[02:44] <shaun> Corey, when I try the -xvf command you gave me the terminal returns "-xvf: Command not found".
[02:45] <jhala> axion: u mean you installed by downloading iso?
[02:45] <Blue1> tar?
[02:45] <shaun> Blue1, If you are addressing me, yes =\
[02:45] <ElCulebras> tar -zxvf
[02:45] <shaun> Blue1, I am new to Linux Ubuntu Server GUI
[02:45] <Blue1> shaun: if someone else is helping I'll just watch
[02:45] <dr_willis> !info unp
[02:45] <shaun> Thank you
[02:45] <Blue1> ubuntu server has a gui?
[02:46] <axion> I think you want something else, you don't want a usb stick that boots a full os, but you want to use the usb stick in stead of a installation cd/dvd ?
[02:46] <szal> Blue1: if you install one ;)
[02:46] <Blue1> szal: true enough
[02:46] <szal> Blue1: though I doubt you need one on a server
[02:46] <happyface> dr_willis, szal, it extremely popular enterprise web conference software
[02:46] <happyface> Corey, yea I'll have to try ies4linux
[02:46] <Blue1> szal: i have never seen a gui on a server --
[02:47] <szal> Blue1: then you have never seen a Windows server :P
[02:47] <tiox> !info | unetbootin
[02:47] <Sean93> how can i make ubuntu suspend for 2 hours an then resume?
[02:47] <tiox> Huh?
[02:47] <Blue1> szal: that is true -- i am running desktop here, but run an ftp and dns server
[02:47] <tiox> !info tiox | unetbootin
[02:47]  * szal hasn't heard of time-limited suspend yet
[02:47] <tiox> You're kidding...
[02:47] <Blue1> szal: eventurally php and apache - both installed but not configured
[02:47] <milamber> !unetbootin | tiox
[02:48] <tiox> yeah, thanks. I feel like fail now.
[02:48] <kunfu> I dont know wich cpu I am using right now (cheapest one I could afford at the moment when my computer burnt). I also dont know what cpu model should I look for, as the motherboard seems to support different kinds. I would like to buy one if it will improve much more this computer. Motherboard box says: Socket AM" for AMD Athlon 64 FX / 64X2 / 64 and Sempron processors. My question is How do I know wich kind of processor I am using, and 
[02:48] <shaun> ElCulebras, when I try the command you gave me I get this in return: "tar (child): teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.0-rc1.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[02:48] <shaun> tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[02:48] <shaun> tar: Child returned status 2
[02:49] <Blue1> kunfu: this may help:  http://pkill-9.com/quick-debugging-tips/
[02:49] <dr_willis> sounds like you ght the name wrong..
[02:49] <shingen> kunfu if it supports all those types, find the fastest one or the cheapest one, depending on your budget... you might want to ask in #hardware as this is really a hardware issue and not an OS specific issue
[02:49] <ratcheer> Blue1: I have been using GUI's on professional Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX "servers" for years.
[02:49] <ScaN> asd
[02:49] <Osmodivs> http://pastebin.com/H7AEEemh Ok, so this is how my permissions are set up, I do not have troble using the other fonts
[02:49] <shaun> dr_willis, me? I can try again...
[02:49] <Blue1> ratcheer: I have only been using LInux for about 6 years so.....
[02:49] <Blue1> ymmv applies I guess
[02:50] <milamber> kunfu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit
[02:50] <dr_willis> shaun,  Case is imporntant.. and use the TAB key to auto-complete names
[02:50] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: sudo chmod o+r /usr/share/fonts/soviet_stencil.ttf
[02:51] <Blue1> kunfu: those debug tips will help you identify if you have a 32 or 64 bit machine
[02:51] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: from a terminal
[02:51] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre, Thx, just to double check, that wont change permissions to other files, right?
[02:51] <rationalOgre> Osmodivs: No.
[02:52] <shaun> dr_willis, Thank you. I simply copied the file over this time and it worked. However, all it did was produce a file in my home folder that has a bunch of weird characters, and in parenthesis at the end says "(Invalid Encoding)".
[02:52] <Hilikus> i have a server running smb in my lan with some shares, how can i make it so that another computer sees it under the network folder in nautilus?
[02:52] <kunfu> yeah Bluel that says all, thanx AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+ 64 bit. I dont understand why is so slow under 64 bit ubuntu, I may use 32 bit
[02:52] <dr_willis> shaun, sounds like a currupted download perhaps
[02:52] <tagny> How can i configure my postgreSQL server?
[02:52] <shaun> dr_willis, I downloaded right from the teamspeak site.
[02:52] <lapaga> shaun - are you in the same dir as the file when you try and untar the file?
[02:53] <tagny> dwonload accelerator aria2c
[02:53] <dr_willis> shaun,  that dosent prove its a good download...
[02:53] <shingen> Hilikus, depends if you're on the same network and you're broadcasting nbt...  if that doesn't make sense to you, just try typing in smb://server/path
[02:53] <dr_willis> shaun,  redownload, check the md5sums (assuming the site givet the sums)
[02:54] <shingen> Hilikus: not nbt...lol, I'm blanking out...   if you're broadcasting for netbios over tcp or if you have a wins server
[02:54] <shaun> lapaga, Actually, I think I was in the extracted file when I ran the zxvf command.
[02:54] <shaun> dr_willis, the site doesn't provide md5sums, at least not that I know.
[02:55] <dr_willis> file a bug report to them. :)
[02:56] <Osmodivs> rationalOgre, Thanks, man
[02:56] <shaun> dr_willis, I am also trying to run a DUC that seems to be in the same state as the TS3 tar.gz file. No config files in the directory or anything... and ./configure doesn't work.
[02:57] <shaun> dr_willis, I was running the server in Windows and someone recommended I switch to Ubuntu server, more light weight and better performance... but I can't figure it out D:
[02:58] <Xcytre> Ubuntu has a steeper learning curve than Windows
[02:58] <szal> depends on where you're coming from
[02:59] <Xcytre> yes, that's true
[02:59] <shaun> Xcytre, Yeah. I used Ubuntu in the past, just a normal Ubuntu desktop. But now I am trying to install tar.gz on this server OS and... I am failing at it =\
[02:59] <green91> shaun what are you trying to install?
[02:59] <Hilikus> where can i see why clients can't connect to my samba share??
[02:59] <PurpleHaze> how do i add a server to xchat gnome
[03:00] <PurpleHaze> ?
[03:00] <shingen> it's not suggested to use tarballs to install stuff...  stick with repositories or .deb packages if necessary
[03:00] <shaun> green91, TeamSpeak 3 server, and No-IP DUC
[03:00] <PurpleHaze> shingen
[03:00] <szal> PurpleHaze: what server?
[03:00] <shingen> PurpleHaze, /server irc.efnet.com ???
[03:00] <PurpleHaze> no its a private server szal
[03:00] <green91> shaun: i dont suppose they would have a .deb package or be available through apt?
[03:01] <shingen> lol, guess not
[03:01] <shingen> :)
[03:01] <shingen> xchat > new server tab
[03:01] <shaun> green91, Nope, if they had a .deb I would be happy as hell... but they don't.
[03:01] <shaun> green91, That's what I was originally looking for.
[03:01] <green91> well i'll admit im not familiar with that product
[03:02] <shaun> green91, It's a VoIP server like Ventrilo, Mumble, etc.
[03:02] <green91> ic
[03:02] <dr_willis> shaun,  ciould be you are doing somthing fundametally/triivially wrong.. basically you download the tar.gz  and use 'tar xzvf thefilename' and the it should extract to some dir, you then cd into and run whatever app you are using.
[03:03] <dr_willis> shaun,  its worth spending an hr or 2 learnig shell basics.
[03:03] <dr_willis> !teamspeak
[03:03] <PurpleHaze> nvm got it
[03:03] <PurpleHaze> laterz
[03:03] <shaun> dr_willis, I already have the file extracted to a directory and I was able to cd into it
[03:04] <shaun> But after cd into it I tried ./configure and I got an error.
[03:04] <dr_willis> shaun,  if its SOURCE you confiogure/compuile it...
[03:04] <jasl> What error.
[03:04] <jasl> ?
[03:04] <dr_willis> shaun,  if its precompiled you just run it..
[03:04] <shaun> dr_willis, How to I run it?
[03:04] <dr_willis>  ./whaeverthecommandis
[03:05] <jasl> paste "ls -l"
[03:05] <dr_willis> look in the dir for an executable file.
[03:05] <shingen> shaun: the one I just downloaded has no configure file, so that's the first error
[03:05] <shaun> dr_willis, I don't know what that command is xD I am sorry, I am completely lost.
[03:05] <dr_willis> shaun,  so LOOK in the directory.
[03:05] <shingen> shaun: the second thing is, you'll need to run make and have the necessary packages to compile... gcc it seems
[03:05] <szal> shaun: from the included server_quickstart.txt it looks pretty straightforward
[03:05] <shingen> shaun: then you'll need to create a file where it's trying to load the config from
[03:05] <jasl> pastbin "ls -l"
[03:05] <dr_willis> Teamspeak does not come in source form - as far as i know.. so thats going the wrong route.. the teamspeak docs proberly tell you exactly what the command is.
[03:06] <szal> shaun: no friggin' idea what you want to ./configure there
[03:06] <dr_willis> bye all. work time for me.
[03:06] <shingen> shaun: and then you'll need to put it into your init ring (4?) so that it starts as a daemon on boot
[03:06] <jasl> By Dr Willis
[03:06] <dr_willis> run it from rc.local would be easier then making a init script.
[03:06] <dr_willis> byeee
[03:06] <shingen> shaun: next time, read README.FIRST :)
[03:07] <shaun> szal, I was just following tutorials. They said ./configure... I am completely new to running anything then .deb
[03:07] <wuntee> is there somewhere that explains how to disable auto dhcp for a specific interface in 11.04?
[03:07] <shaun> shingen, I read the Readme... the only one that was there was in tsdns... and that did not help at all.
[03:07] <shingen> shaun, that's not what README.FIRST says from noip-duc-linux.tar.gz :P
[03:07] <green91> edit the interface file
[03:07] <hendaus> anyone use win 7 on laptop?
[03:07] <szal> shaun: what tutorial?
[03:08] <Corey> hendaus: This is a Ubuntu support channel. :-)
[03:08] <jasl> hendaus not unless he has a gun on me
[03:08] <shaun> shingen, Wait, I am sorry but everyone seems to be addressing it in different ways lol. Are you talking about the TeamSpeak3 or the No-IP file? I have barely worked with the No-IP file yet.
[03:08] <hendaus> Corey,  i know but my girlfriend use win 7 os and me ubuntu
[03:08] <Corey> hendaus: So what's your actual question?
[03:09] <shingen> shaun, I don't know what you're reading, but there is a README.FIRST file after you've uncompressed noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
[03:09] <jmcantrell> when i apply an emblem to a folder, where is that information stored?
[03:09] <FlexGuy> anybody can help with adding a disk to a raid5 array with mdadm?
[03:09] <shaun> szal, A youtube tutorial on installing tar.gz files. Hey, I was desperate.
[03:09] <szal> shaun: you won't do both at the same time, so please decide what you waht to do first
[03:09] <shingen> shaun, tar xzvf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz will uncompress as someone mentioned earlier
[03:09] <rationalOgre> shaun: tar.gz are just archive files (tapearchive+gzipped)
[03:09] <Corey> shingen: z is understood in modern versions of tar.
[03:09] <rationalOgre> shaun: Not all tar.gz files are the same.
[03:09] <Corey> shingen: Keeps you from having to guess z or j.
[03:09] <shaun> shingen, I wasn't talking about noip... I simply mentioned it. What I am stuck on is the TeamSpeak2 file.
[03:10] <hendaus> Corey,  her laptop doesnot connect internet cable , maybe it needs the ethernet driver
[03:10] <shingen> Corey: brain on autopilot :)
[03:10] <milamber> shaun: did you try ./ts3server_startscript.sh   ?
[03:10] <szal> Corey: z is gz, j is bz2
[03:10] <Corey> hendaus: So it's a Windows support question?
[03:10] <Corey> szal: Quite, but now it's less to type and works more effectdively when invoked via script.
[03:10] <shaun> milamber, I just tried to run it, terminal crashed.
[03:10] <hendaus> Corey,  is there a windows help channel?
[03:10] <shingen> shaun, you'll need to find the folks who created that tarball and ask them what / why...
[03:11] <Corey> hendaus: ##windows
[03:11] <jasl> Friends don't let friends run windows.
[03:12] <shaun> jasl, That will be what I will have to resort to, again D: . I'm hosting the server for a group. It was only supposed to be down for a few hours >< lol
[03:13] <jasl> oh well
[03:14] <milamber> shaun: i just got it to run on my 10.04 lts server
[03:14] <hieusun> can anybody tell me where i can download open source driver for my ATI HD 6600M card
[03:14] <jasl> Bring up a test server and make it work first.
[03:14] <shaun> milamber, ... could you please please tell me how. lol.
[03:14] <shaun> I just ran that script... or tried to.
[03:14] <milamber> shaun: 1 sec
[03:15] <shaun> milamber, thank you.
[03:15] <szal> shaun: for TS3 -> unpack & run the script according to the instructions in doc/server_quickstart.txt
[03:15] <szal> pretty much a no-brainer
[03:16] <Skeeter-> anyone knows a good way to find the right order for devices with a RAID with mdadm
[03:16] <Corey> shaun: Are you certain that running a server is what you want to do?
[03:16] <Corey> It's not for the faint of heart.
[03:16] <shaun> szal, I am not able to run the server binary though.
[03:16] <Corey> Skeeter-: cat /proc/md*
[03:17] <szal> shaun: why not?
[03:17] <Skeeter-> Corey:
[03:17] <shaun> Corey, Depends. It's just a simple VoIP server. I was told running it on linux would help the performance.
[03:17] <Skeeter-> Corey:  the raid is assemble but not in the right order, so the data is messed up
[03:17] <milamber> shaun: http://pastebin.com/sTyYEtEd
[03:17] <shaun> szal, Linux doesn't recognize the binary, and I don't know how to make it.
[03:18] <Corey> Skeeter-: Hope you've got solid backups. :-)
[03:18] <george> anyone know how I would go about running a program that would show on the remote computer's display after i ssh in?
[03:18] <szal> shaun: exact input and output to pastebin please
[03:18] <george> so instead of the program showing in the terminal it shows on their display
[03:18] <Skeeter-> Corey: i dont
[03:18] <Corey> Skeeter-: Good luck.
[03:18] <Skeeter-> damnit
[03:19] <celthunder> shaun: what's wrong with the binary? and what're you trying to run
[03:19] <shaun> szal, as I said, Linux doesn't recognize the file and I don't know how to make it. I am completely new to this...
[03:19] <Belxjander> do I ask here or is there a specialist Ubuntu-One channel ?
[03:19] <jasl> george: ssh -Y othersystem
[03:20] <Skeeter-> damn superblock
[03:20] <szal> shaun: as I said, exact input and output to pastebin please, and I emphasize, _exact_
[03:20] <Skeeter-> and ubuntu upgrade
[03:20]  * Belxjander has an issue with a non-received recovery code in trying to recover an account created within the last 48 hours
[03:20] <jasl> geroge: be sure xauth is loaded on the other system.
[03:20] <lkvlasdf> which is more secure webmail or email client?
[03:20] <shaun> celthunder, Probably nothing. But linux doesn't recognize the file off first hand, and I don't know how to run the binary in Linux. I am completely new to Linux, and thus only know how to run standard files like .deb
[03:20] <celthunder> lkvlasdf: depends
[03:20] <george> jasl, just tried that, it makes the program show up on my computer instead of the remote one
[03:20] <jasl> webmain via https maybe
[03:20] <celthunder> lkvlasdf: both can be secure or insecure
[03:21] <celthunder> shaun: ? ./<program name> does what?
[03:21] <shaun> szal, "as I said, exact input and output to pastebin please, and I emphasize, _exact" What input and output are you talking about? What I am saying is, if there is a way to get Linux to recognize the file, then I don't know how.
[03:21] <szal> shaun: until you provide us with exact error messages (and what lead to them), we are fishing in muddy waters
[03:21] <jasl> geroge: explain
[03:21] <illdecree> a bit off topic, but this is a last resort: does anyone know where i can get a copy of DVL (Damn Vulnerable Linux) v1.5?
[03:21] <shaun> ./binary? I thought I did that, and it gave me an error.
[03:22] <gnewb> Belxjander: Ask here, if someone knows, they can offer help.
[03:22] <shaun> celthunder, Let me try again.
[03:22] <celthunder> shaun: ok what was the error
[03:22] <szal> shaun: you had to run the script somehow..  how did you? -> pastebin -- what did it spew out? -> pastebin
[03:22] <george> jasl, let's say I'm on my computer and I want a program to open on the display of a remote computer (not mine)
[03:22] <szal> shaun: is that so hard to grasp?
[03:22] <celthunder> szal: what's he tried already?
[03:22] <jasl> george: OK different problem.
[03:22] <szal> celthunder: no friggin' idea, trying to get that out of him
[03:22] <george> jasl, yeah :P
[03:22] <Belxjander> gnewb: okay...thanks
[03:23] <celthunder> george: what program? a few let you set which x display to use
[03:23] <shaun> szal, I didn't run the binary at all. I didn't know how. That's what I am telling you. I will do what celt said and then see if I can answer you...
[03:23] <celthunder> shaun: szal chmod +x it usually helps if it's not already
[03:23] <szal> shaun: then read the friggin' .txt file I pointed you to several times already
[03:23] <Belxjander> Who can explain to me why registering "Belxjander@gmail.com" which is my perfectly functional Email Account for Ubuntu One, and now attempting to recover the password for reconnecting my UbuntuOne Account(newly created) to the same Email address fails to provide any kind of recovery code stalling any recovery at all ?
[03:24] <jasl> Try to set export DISPLAY=0:0 but I suspect authentication will give you a problem.
[03:24] <Asimov> hello^
[03:24] <Asimov> ?
[03:24] <rationalOgre> !ubuntuone | Belxjander
[03:25] <Belxjander> Is the UbuntuOne system force-case-dropping the initial capitalized B on my Email address? as this will be the *first* system I have met in 10+ years to actually force a complete lowercase username for an Email address (my username is first-letter capitalized on ALL the systems I use)
[03:25] <celthunder> jasl: you mean export DISPLAY=:0 right.
[03:25] <shaun> szal, I did. It said run the binary. Again, I didn't know HOW to run the binary... is it that hard to understand that a Windows user trying to run a server in linux for the first time is gonna have some issues? I'm sorry.
[03:25] <jasl> Right
[03:25] <gnewb> Belxjander: Do you have a Launchpad Account or an Open ID?
[03:25] <szal> shaun: it says EXACTLY how to run the binary
[03:25] <milamber> illdecree: googlefu http://www.kat.ph/damn-vulnerable-linux-1-5-infectious-disease-t4363390.html    ?
[03:25] <Belxjander> gnewb: Launchpad.net = no, OpenID's... which one works as I have 5 cross-verified OpenID accounts
[03:25] <celthunder> shaun: it's not rocket sience depending what server you're tryuing to run usually it takes under 5 minutes to get a working server and 10-15 to get how you want it
[03:26] <milamber> illdecree: meh, maybe not
[03:26] <gnewb> Belxjander: Or what rational0gre posted, thank you.
[03:26] <wonderworld> Belxjander: i guess this would help most -> https://one.ubuntu.com/support/contact/
[03:26] <Belxjander> wonderworld: I'll have to leave that open as I need to head away again...
[03:27] <jasl> Head away...
[03:27] <milamber> shaun: can you post something similar to what i posted for you? it's the only way anyone would be remotely able to provide help
[03:27] <illdecree> milamber: i actually JUST found it. been searching all day. i found it on demonoid, but it looks poorly seeded...
[03:28] <shaun> milamber, I am starting over from scratch and if I get something I will...
[03:28] <Belxjander> thank you for the help anyway everyone...
[03:28] <shaun> milamber, Jesus, i've only used desktop linux for edu. a dumb-ass of my caliber should have stuck to windows... =\
[03:28] <Belxjander> I'll be back to finish this up later
[03:29] <jasl> shaun: Dont get discouraged
[03:29] <celthunder> jasl: i think he isn't even trying
[03:29] <wonderworld> celthunder: how would you know that?
[03:29] <choel> anyone know where the conf file for unity launcher is located? the launcher icons wont stay after logout/in.
[03:30] <milamber> shaun: i find that administering my ubuntu boxes is easier than windows (after the learning curve). the main point is that there is a learning curve. we can only help if you do what is asked.
[03:30] <jasl> shaun: I think he's a little frustrated
[03:30] <milamber> shaun: i would say use my pastebin as a guide. and what version of ubuntu are you using?
[03:30] <shaun> celthunder, Think what you want. I'm looking over what you have all said as well as looking at the txt files. I've been infront of this for at least an hour and a half.
[03:31] <celthunder> wonderworld: cause i joined half way through and uhm...judging from szal's statements and his own he can't be trying too hard
[03:31] <shaun> milamber, 11.04 Server
[03:31] <wonderworld> it's hard to use the console when you do it for the first time
[03:31] <shaun> milamber, thanks for that and I will see if I can get something.
[03:32] <wonderworld> you just don't know if he is trying. you are just rude.
[03:32] <gh0st> app like jdownloader for ubuntu that opens .dlc's?
[03:32] <gh0st> is there one?
[03:32] <wonderworld> hendaus: jdownloader runs on linux as it's java multiplatform
[03:32] <jasl> wonderworld; unliess you grew up on DOS and CP/M!
[03:33] <itaylor57> jasl, gotta love the pip comand
[03:33] <jasl> lol
[03:33] <shaun> wonderworld, Meh, it's okay. To be honest, I got caught up in arguing with him. I should be thanking him for trying to help me. But yes, I haven't used the terminal before and really don't have a damn clue of what I am doing.
[03:33] <szal> gh0st: JDownloader runs on Linux
[03:33] <gh0st> ya I know but poorly it seems..
[03:33] <wonderworld> gh0st: never had a problem with it
[03:33] <jasl> speaking of that I have a number of byte mags from the 70.s 80's and 90's to dispose of.  Any takers?
[03:34] <szal> jasl: -> #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:34] <jasl> ROger.
[03:34] <Nautilus> i have a utility Im' trying to install, but when I run it I get an error.  Here's the command and error:
[03:34] <Nautilus> an@Ubuntu-1:/usr/local/drush$ ./drush
[03:34] <Nautilus> /usr/bin/env: php: No such file or directory
[03:35] <wonderworld> Nautilus: sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[03:35] <Nautilus> ^ Don't know what to do about that.  I tried to make the directory but it says mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/bin/env': File exists
[03:35] <celthunder> Nautilus: do you have php installed?
[03:35] <jasl> Probably not
[03:35] <Nautilus> PHP 5.2.4 IIRC
[03:35] <celthunder> is php in your path?
[03:35] <Nautilus> unsure.
[03:35] <jasl> type php in a terminal window
[03:36] <Nautilus> aha! The program 'php' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[03:36] <jasl> yes
[03:36] <jasl> thank wonderworld
[03:36] <Nautilus> so that's what ... a CLI access to the installed PHP?
[03:36] <jasl> Yes
[03:36] <milamber> Nautilus: another good way of checking is: dpkg -l | grep php
[03:37] <gh0st> to install java, sudo apt-get install jre?
[03:37] <jasl> Php is normally a server side program.
[03:37] <wonderworld> Nautilus: no, it's another php installation for shell scripts. your already installed php is probably the apache-module
[03:37] <jasl> cli version is a command line rogram.
[03:37] <jasl> program
[03:37] <Nautilus> what are the chances of the php5-cli install breaking something?
[03:37] <jasl> zero
[03:38] <shaun> milamber, http://pastebin.com/aaXASEhd
[03:38] <Nautilus> just a front-end, right?
[03:38] <shaun> milamber, I am still not used to not being able to use Ctrl*C lol
[03:38] <jasl> No, just another program.
[03:38] <wonderworld> gh0st: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[03:38] <kiichiro> hry
[03:38] <kiichiro> hey*
[03:38] <jasl> wtf?
[03:39] <syrinx_> jasl: hmm?
[03:39] <jasl> Mode: ****
[03:39] <xXcalciferXx> How does one go about connecting to another IRC host?
[03:39] <jasl> Or was that only here?
[03:39] <celthunder> xXcalciferXx: depends on the irc client but generally /server <server>
[03:39] <syrinx_> jasl: just the floodbots opping up, no big deal
[03:39] <Nautilus> OK that works, now a new problem, Drush needs a copy of the PEAR Console_Table library in order to function, and the attempt to download this file automatically failed because you do not have permission to write files in /usr/local/drush/includes.
[03:39] <xXcalciferXx> I'm using xchat
[03:40] <jasl> Thanks
[03:40] <milamber> shaun: what is the output of uname -a
[03:40] <celthunder> xXcalciferXx: /newserver if you want to keep the current one open or /server if you want to kill the current one
[03:40] <xXcalciferXx> Ok, thanks.
[03:40] <shaun> milamber, sorry? What do you mean?
[03:40] <jasl> Nautilius: run using sudo.
[03:40] <wonderworld> Nautilus: is this a shared server?
[03:40] <milamber> in the terminal type: uname -a
[03:41] <Nautilus> wonderworld: oh! That works.  grumble about permissions
[03:41] <shaun> milamber, shaun@reignmarisvr:~/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64$ uname -a
[03:41] <shaun> Linux reignmarisvr 2.6.38-8-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 05:17:09 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[03:41] <Nautilus> wonderworld: local
[03:41] <choel> anyone know where I can find the conf file for unity launcher?
[03:42] <milamber> shaun: it looks like you are trying to run a 64 bit package on a 32 bit os, have you tried the 32 bit version?
[03:42] <milamber> shaun: the 32 bit version of the teamspeak package?
[03:42] <shaun> Hm, hold on. Actually, I downloaded that on a 64bit PC and transferred it, so that would be why lol
[03:43] <shaun> That was stupid. One moment.
[03:43] <szal> *head->desk*
[03:43] <Firstmate> After you run "make install", where do you see the software?
[03:43] <szal> Firstmate: who?
[03:43] <Firstmate> Me
[03:43] <jasl> Firstmate: depends on the package
[03:43] <Firstmate> I was trying to compile & install xchat
[03:43] <Firstmate> xchat.org/compiling
[03:43] <jasl> make ; make install
[03:43] <szal> Firstmate: any reason to do that?
[03:43] <Firstmate> Then what?
[03:43] <celthunder> Firstmate: depends what was your prefix when doing ./configure?
[03:43] <jasl> xchat
[03:44] <Firstmate> Oh XD
[03:44] <wonderworld> Firstmate: updatedb; locate xchat
[03:44] <Firstmate> How do you know what command to use?
[03:44] <wonderworld> or "which xchat"
[03:44] <Nautilus> thanks guys, I'm all set!
[03:44] <jasl> Isn't xchat a supported package?
[03:44] <celthunder> Firstmate: jasl yes
[03:44] <Jordan_U_> Firstmate: Why are you compiling xchat from source?
[03:45] <centHOGG> heh
[03:45] <milamber> !package | jasl
[03:45] <Firstmate> Just to learn how.
[03:45] <wonderworld> Firstmate: you can also check the Makefile in the "install" section to see where the binaries are copied to
[03:45] <Firstmate> I see.
[03:46] <wonderworld> Firstmate: i hate programs spreading over the whole system. most of the time you can pass a directory-prefix to the configure script
[03:46] <wonderworld> so you could install all your selfcompiled programs to /home/firstmate/compiled for example
[03:47] <jasl> Usually ./configure;make;make install; puts binaries in either /usr/bin/ or /usr/bin/local
[03:47] <UbuntuQ> hello, anybody knows what this command for, http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=tHB4x1GYJN
[03:47] <Firstmate> Yeah I see that.
[03:47] <Firstmate> wonderworld: The MakeFile is also really large D:
[03:47] <szal> default install prefix, if nothing else given, is /usr/local
[03:48] <Firstmate> But I mean, how do I know whether to type "xchat" or "foo"
[03:48] <Firstmate> y'know?
[03:48] <wonderworld> i guess you would find it in the xchat documentation
[03:48] <wonderworld> or you have to check the makefile
[03:48] <Firstmate> Gotcha
[03:48] <wonderworld> maybe there is a better way
[03:48] <wonderworld> unsure
[03:49] <jasl> Sorry I meant /usr/local/bin not /usr/bin/local.
[03:49] <Firstmate> One second, brb
[03:49] <Firstmate> Had to get on the xchat one XD
[03:49] <UbuntuQ> hello, anybody knows what this command for, http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=tHB4x1GYJN
[03:50] <shaun> milamber, http://pastebin.com/EEDxXfNC
[03:50] <szal> !repeat | UbuntuQ
[03:50] <Firstmate> Another question
[03:50] <Firstmate> This xchat instance is like hooked onto the terminal process
[03:50] <celthunder> UbuntuQ: you mean the udev one?
[03:51] <Firstmate> How do I run xchat while still being able to close the terminal
[03:51] <celthunder> Firstmate: xchat &
[03:51] <Firstmate> Thanks.
[03:51] <Firstmate> The & does what, just for learning purposes?
[03:51] <escott> UbuntuQ, udev controls the initialization of devices based on rules files. one of your rules files is missing or the wrong permissions so you get the warning
[03:51] <celthunder> Firstmate: sends it to the background
[03:51] <kaushal> Hi
[03:51] <centHOGG> Ubuntu doesn't even have an equalizer
[03:51] <Firstmate> Thanks again.
[03:52] <Firstmate> Now to restart xchat then
[03:52] <jasl> shaun: try running as super user
[03:52] <milamber> !info libsqlite3-0
[03:52] <szal> centHOGG: try to find one in a default Windows installation; I doubt you'll be lucky w/ that
[03:52] <UbuntuQ> szal, ubottu, celthunder, escott: yeah.
[03:53] <qin> centHOGG: There is pulseaudio equalizer
[03:53] <milamber> shaun: in the terminal type: sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-0
[03:53] <UbuntuQ> szal, ubottu, celthunder, escott: yeah the udev
[03:53] <UbuntuQ> szal, ubottu, celthunder, escott: yeah the how can i fix it, or remove it
[03:53] <centHOGG> qin: alsa?
[03:53] <shaun> szal, Is that the command "sudo su"?
[03:54] <shaun> milamber, Alright, thanks.
[03:54] <jasl> milamber: missed that
[03:54] <celthunder> UbuntuQ: does the file exist?
[03:54] <szal> shaun: huh?
[03:54] <escott> UbuntuQ, check that file make sure it has the correct permissions, and is formatted correctly. if nothing exists just create an empty file with that name
[03:54] <wonderworld> Firstmate: you want to start xchat and close the terminal afterwards?
[03:54] <shaun> szal, To run as super user, is that "sudo su"?
[03:54] <qin> centHOGG: What a difference?
[03:54] <szal> shaun: on *buntu it's "sudo" followed by the command you want to run
[03:54] <milamber> shaun: you don't have to run it as super user
[03:54] <jasl> shaun: see milamber's
[03:55] <milamber> a super user*
[03:55] <jasl> message
[03:55] <fbass> how can I make the desktop display desktop icons instead of ~/?
[03:55] <Firstmate> the xchat & did not work.
[03:55] <jasl> shaun: you need to install a package
[03:55] <Firstmate> I closed the terminal and it closed xchat as well.
[03:55] <shaun> milamber, libsqlite3-0 is already the newest version.
[03:55] <shaun> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 34 not upgraded.
[03:56] <qin> Firstmate: xchat &; disown %1
[03:56] <Firstmate> Could I ask what disown does?
[03:56] <shaun> jasl, assuming you are speaking of the one milamber was, then I believe it failed... lol
[03:56] <qin> Firstmate: It will "detach" process from terminal, "demonize"
[03:56]  * PCdoc is using xchat since last 6 months without any problems
[03:56] <escott> Firstmate, the parent process (usually the shell that started it) disowns the process so that killing the shell won't kill the child process
[03:57] <jasl> shaun: right
[03:57] <trism> fbass: make sure XDG_DESKTOP_DIR points to $HOME/Desktop in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs (and that the directory exists) and run xdg-user-dirs-update;
[03:57]  * szal dropped Xchat soon after 2.4 (2005)
[03:57] <Firstmate> Yay, it worked.
[03:57] <Firstmate> Thanks.
[03:57] <Adamfyre> Szal what are you using now?
[03:57] <trism> fbass: if the file doesn't exist, that is okay, xdg-user-dirs-update will create it
[03:58] <centHOGG> windows xp has a 2-band equalizer on install
[03:58] <szal> Adamfyre: currenty Konversation, not my ultimate fav, but easier to set up than Weechat ;)
[03:58] <UbuntuQ> celthunder, escott: yeah it exist, let me see what's in it escott
[03:58] <Adamfyre> Oh ok. Kde?
[03:58] <szal> yep

[04:00] <UbuntuQ> celthunder, escott: should i just delete it?!
[04:00] <jasl> shaun: dpkg -L libsqlite3-0
[04:00] <fbass> trism: I did that but the desktop is still showing ~/
[04:00] <shaun> phong_, hello

[04:03] <Firstmate> How do I run multiple commands on one line in terminal?
[04:03] <jasl> onecommand:twocommand;threecommand;
[04:03] <milamber> shaun: i need the output of ls in the untarred directory
[04:04] <jasl> Separate with semicolons.
[04:04] <h1> Firstmate: separate them with semicolons.
[04:04] <shaun> milamber, output of ls? I am not sure what that means. Everything I did in terminal is there, unless you need me to do something else in terminal.
[04:04] <milamber> Firstmate: if you want them to run one after the other (ie if the first completes, then do the second, and so on . . . ) the usage between commands is: &&
[04:05] <milamber> shaun: ls is a command that will list the files in the directory
[04:05] <qin> Firstmate: Or you can pipe |
[04:05] <milamber> shaun: i would like to see that list
[04:05] <shaun> Okay
[04:05] <Firstmate> Yeah I was trying to do what someone said earlier
[04:05] <szal> qin: piping is another thing
[04:05] <Firstmate> xchat &; disown %1
[04:06] <Firstmate> But it gave this error, How do I run multiple commands on one line in terminal?
[04:06] <Firstmate> woops
[04:06] <Firstmate> wrong paste
[04:06] <milamber> Firstmate: a single ampersand launches a program from the terminal into the background

[04:07] <Firstmate> I keep getting that bash error whenever I use ;
[04:07] <escott> Firstmate, sorry that doesn't work
[04:07] <h1> why do you want to disown it anyway?
[04:07] <Firstmate> Cause I want to close the terminal.

[04:08] <escott> Firstmate, i don't think it will close anyways
[04:08] <escott> Firstmate, most gui apps are smart enough to detach from the terminal. have you tried it
[04:09] <Firstmate> Yeah I did
[04:09] <Firstmate> It closed xchat alongside it.

[04:10] <shaun> milamber, http://pastebin.com/cESgAupK
[04:10] <shaun> milamber, it looks like it worked. Now for the DUC xD
[04:11] <shaun> milamber, did it work?
[04:12] <milamber> shaun: according to it the server is up and running. i don't know anything about teamspeak. the software *usually* doesn't lie about its own status.
[04:12] <nicekiwi> anyone...?
[04:12] <jasl> milamber: lol
[04:13] <shaun> milamber, Ah, thank you so much lol... I bookmarked the pastebins for later reference.
[04:14] <milamber> shaun: i'd read up on how long those last . . .
[04:14] <shaun> milamber, jasl, can't thank you enough.
[04:14] <shaun> milamber, on how long the server stays online?
[04:15] <shaun> milamber, it should stay online until I shut the computer down or take it offline.
[04:15] <centHOGG> bot
[04:15] <milamber> shaun: files that end in .sh are called bash files. you should read up on bash if you are going to be a linux server admin. the common usage for starting daemons (services in the windows environment is) <daemonname> start, stop, or restart
[04:16] <van7hu> hello, the CAT utility in ubuntu, what does -u means? I just see "ignored"?
[04:16] <nicekiwi> cant update.. need help...?
[04:16] <van7hu> so it's not used?
[04:16] <roothorick> I don't even know where to begin with this
[04:16] <roothorick> when I open Mumble, without connecting to a server or anything
[04:16] <roothorick> first, audio is corrupted. Not crackling, literally corrupted, like half the fragments are a second behind or something
[04:16] <shaun> milamber, ah, thank you for the advice.
[04:16] <roothorick> second, Unity sidebar and the pane thing stops working completely
[04:17] <roothorick> it just doesn't show up
[04:17] <roothorick> how does Mumble break Unity? I can't wrap my head around that
[04:17] <Logan_> !enter | roothorick
[04:17] <escott> van7hu, it is ignored. it probably meant something on some old version of UNIX so the flag exists so as not to break things
[04:18] <van7hu> escott, got it, thanks
[04:18] <milamber> van7hu: to check that you can always do man <command> for the manual. in your case you would have to do man cat     :)

[04:22] <milamber> !mirror
[04:22] <milamber> that's wrong
[04:22] <nicekiwi> :( sadface.. chnaging mirrors dosnt fix it
[04:23] <milamber> nicekiwi: how are you trying to update?
[04:24] <choel> someone been using scrollz as an irc client? I used a longtime ago, but forgotten most of the commands.
[04:24] <nicekiwi> milamber, synaptic package manager atm, but Update Manager and console apt-get update say the same thing and
[04:24] <nicekiwi> (ignore the and)
[04:27] <escott> nicekiwi, that file doesn't exist on the server. how long has this problem existed
[04:27] <milamber> nicekiwi: have you tried sudo apt-cache clean
[04:28] <nicekiwi> escott, what do you mean?
[04:29] <nicekiwi> milamber, E: Invalid operation clean
[04:29] <escott> nicekiwi, when did this first happen?
[04:29] <nicekiwi> escott, first boot after install
[04:30] <nicekiwi> escott, not runing Natty btw
[04:30] <escott> nicekiwi, i would give it 24 hours just in case there is some intermitent problem

[04:41] <[THC]AcidRain> if you have a wire, id uncheck wirelss
[04:41] <[THC]AcidRain> im pretty sure that wire will be primary though
[04:41] <phong_> any help?
[04:41] <codex84> i have a router with ethernet wires
[04:42] <codex84> yea
[04:42] <codex84> thanks
[04:42] <[THC]AcidRain> id go wire. but i have a bridge that i have connected to this desktop through the wire
[04:42] <phlunk3> u can put a sim in there phong_  ;)
[04:42] <[THC]AcidRain> but the bridge is wireless
[04:42] <[THC]AcidRain> phlunk3: lol
[04:42] <phong_> phlunk3, it does nothing
[04:42] <escott> phong_, cell phone data service
[04:43] <[THC]AcidRain> i have a SIM read/write device, it actually does nothing as well
[04:43] <[THC]AcidRain> phong: you may have to manually mount the drive
[04:43] <Guest52979> whats a good program on here to run a virtual?
[04:43] <[THC]AcidRain> fdisk -l
[04:45] <Guest52979> whats a god program on here to run virtual machine?
[04:45] <phong_> escott, i have Tmobile with internet ...will that work?
[04:45] <phong_> escott, and how can i start it to work?
[04:46] <escott> phong_, maybe. see if there is a 3g modem listed in lspci or lshw, and then see if it is a supported modem
[04:46] <niku> Guest34771, look @ kvm. Do a tasksel install virt-host ; apt-get-install virtual-machine-manager
[04:46] <[THC]AcidRain> phong_: what are you trying to do?
[04:46] <codex84> virtual box
[04:46] <codex84> ose
[04:46] <escott> phong_, it might just be a read/write device but that just seems like a stupid thing to have
[04:47] <[THC]AcidRain> lol wtf. i have a read/write device :(
[04:47] <[THC]AcidRain> i paid 25$ for it to
[04:47] <Guest52979> codex84, thank you
[04:47] <[THC]AcidRain> you can straight jack someones cell number
[04:47] <codex84> anytime
[04:47] <[THC]AcidRain> possibly...
[04:48] <[THC]AcidRain> im gonna research it now
[04:49] <fishscene> I'm running Ubuntu 11.04.  I'd like to foward applications through SSH to a remote computer. Everything works fine with the tests. I'd like to run a WINE program remotely. Someone mentioned looking at the launcher properties to get the information. However, I can not get the properties on the side-dock-bar thing. How would I get the launcher properties for a program in the launcher?
[04:50] <omar> how do i restart xorg? ctr--alt-backspace is what google says, and that doesn't work
[04:50] <niku> omar on the command line, "sudo restart gdm" should do the trick
[04:50] <omar> thanks ;)
[04:56] <fishscene> does anyone know how to get to the properties of a program on the dock bar?
[04:57] <hoozy> fishscene Did you try right click on it?
[04:57] <fishscene> Yes. I get "Mozilla Firefox" and "Keep in Launcher"
[04:58] <fishscene> (Firefox is the program I'm running in WINE)
[04:58] <escott> fishscene, its the same menu entries as gnome2 so search for them in alacarte
[04:58] <fishscene> aha! Thanks!
[04:59] <[THC]AcidRain> why run firefox in wine?
[05:00] <[THC]AcidRain> is there a linux ventrilo equivalent?
[05:00] <KM0201> [THC]AcidRain: does seem a little silly... (actualy, not just a little, i was just being polite)
[05:00] <[THC]AcidRain> same protocols and what not
[05:00] <[THC]AcidRain> yeah weird :/
[05:00] <shanebnetapp> i used ff in wine earlier to test a few networking related things
[05:01] <yarddog> [THC]AcidRain, its called mangler
[05:01] <shanebnetapp> i could *kinda* see a use
[05:01] <[THC]AcidRain> yarddog: i figured you would suggest mangler
[05:01] <[THC]AcidRain> only problem is i cant get it to work in ubuntu 9.04
[05:01] <yarddog> oh ok
[05:01] <shanebnetapp> pretty sure there is a linux client for teamspeak
[05:01] <[THC]AcidRain> something about dependencies when building from source
[05:01] <yarddog> dont know
[05:02] <yarddog> just knew about mangler
[05:02] <[THC]AcidRain> yeah there is a linux teamspeak client native i believe. but vent just seems to be more popular
[05:02] <KM0201> !info mangler
[05:02] <KM0201> hmmm
[05:02] <shanebnetapp> for a while the codecs for vent were much better
[05:02] <shanebnetapp> but teamspeak has caught up IMO
[05:02] <[THC]AcidRain> ah, well i have jaunty
[05:02] <yarddog> mangler should be coming to 11.10
[05:03] <[THC]AcidRain> perhaps ill just talk all my friends into using teamspeak
[05:03] <[THC]AcidRain> save me the trouble :)
[05:03] <shanebnetapp> i had a friend that had vent working in wine
[05:03] <shanebnetapp> but this was a few years ago
[05:03] <vandemar> mumble ftw
[05:03] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm.. i cant remember, but i think i tried vent in wine
[05:03] <[THC]AcidRain> but im the type to avoid Win programs at all costs
[05:04] <[THC]AcidRain> like i dont even use my iphone/ipod because its Win dependent. just bought a DroidX and rooted
[05:04] <shanebnetapp> meh, i'm a "if it does the job use it" kinda guy
[05:05] <phlunk3> I always used mangler for ventrillo also, havent tried on 11.10 though
[05:05] <[THC]AcidRain> has anyone got mangler to work in jaunty?
[05:05] <PresuntoRJ> [THC]AcidRain: my iphone works perfectly under ubuntu
[05:05] <vandemar> mumble is pretty much what cool people use.  it's qt4 so cross-platform. :)
[05:05] <phlunk3> lmao @ an iphone that works perfectly.
[05:05] <[THC]AcidRain> PresuntoRJ: what app do you use?
[05:06] <[THC]AcidRain> phlunk3: yea right lol. i just dont like iphone anyways
[05:06] <shanebnetapp> mangler has .deb files for 11.04 on their site
[05:06] <shanebnetapp> mangler.org/download
[05:06] <[THC]AcidRain> sry man, but when android unleashed the Droid, its tooooo bad ass
[05:06] <PresuntoRJ> [THC]AcidRain:  banshee and nautilus
[05:06] <polardroid> don't be so conventional  ..
[05:06] <[THC]AcidRain> yeah, i tried banshee way back when.
[05:06] <Corey> !ot | [THC]AcidRain
[05:07] <PresuntoRJ> [THC]AcidRain: try now, in natty
[05:07] <[THC]AcidRain> PresuntoRJ: im scared to update. i just got too many servers running on this box. im thinkin of getting a new laptop or something to run natty
[05:08] <[THC]AcidRain> but... im hoping that natty will handle the wireless hardware better than what jaunty does
[05:08] <[THC]AcidRain> every wireless card ive ever had it will drop the connection after 10min or so
[05:08] <vandemar> could be a wireless router issue?
[05:08] <usr13> [THC]AcidRain: Using wicd?
[05:08] <vandemar> or have you seen that with several different routers?
[05:09] <[THC]AcidRain> vandemar: possible, but ive tried on many different routers
[05:09] <[THC]AcidRain> my solution was to just buy a wireless bridge/switch
[05:09] <polardroid> if i may ask  -->  what os  ?
[05:09] <shanebnetapp> what kind of wireless card do you have?  I have never had an issue
[05:09] <PresuntoRJ> [THC]AcidRain: i had a few wifi issues, solved by installing propertary drivers, with an HP laptop back on 8.04 ... newer versions are really better
[05:09] <usr13> [THC]AcidRain: I've never had that type of problem with wireless.
[05:09] <[THC]AcidRain> well my laptop is at a friends house
[05:10] <[THC]AcidRain> but i do plan to bring it back and do some natty work with it :)
[05:10] <[THC]AcidRain> perhaps have it to run a mailserver for me here
[05:10] <shanebnetapp> natty is only worth it if you run Ubunbu Classic
[05:10] <shanebnetapp> I can't stand Gnome3
[05:11] <polardroid> you're giving me the creeps, man  ..
[05:11] <[THC]AcidRain> the instructions on how to setup a mail server in jaunty was so insanely long, bigger than dictionary long, that it depresses me everytime i look at it

[05:17] <[THC]AcidRain> lol
[05:17] <[THC]AcidRain> Los7puppy: start with sudo
[05:18] <polardroid> if i had a spoon, i'd gag myself  ..
[05:18] <[THC]AcidRain> actually, the first thing i suggest doing is downloading Art Manager and pimpin your desktop
[05:18] <Andreas_> when I start up I'am in my lan, when iser forwardider et.c to forward the connectio. It jump to a other interface
[05:18] <[THC]AcidRain> then type sudo to feel elite

[05:21] <Andreas_> that ist new. windows has never work properly
[05:21] <milamber> SailorReality: that it a loaded question and if you are asking for a real answer here is the basic one. ubuntu is a derivative of gnu/linux
[05:21] <th^^> bullgard4: just select 'ubuntu classic (no effects)' as session from login screen

[05:24] <Guest52979> im using virtualbox ose and i dont think my graphic card drivers installed on it. i ran the setup and it didnt work. any suggestions?
[05:24] <vandemar> you mean guest additions didn't install?
[05:25] <SailorReality> taui challenge you to write a standard lisp compliant compiler in 25 days or less
[05:25] <SailorReality> whoops
[05:25] <Los7puppy> omg my buddy just made me type in terminal telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl  I hereby deem this the first cool thing I have learned since installing ubuntu
[05:25] <vandemar> that's easy enough... in lisp
[05:25] <shanebnetapp> Guest52979, make sure you have guest addons installed
[05:25] <Guest52979> no like my graphic card drivers. the virtual box operating system is windows 7 im trying to use it to play some game and i dont think its going to work because my under device manager it states vga driver
[05:25] <Guest52979> how do install that?
[05:25] <Guest52979> shanebnetapp, how do i install that?
[05:26] <shanebnetapp> you can use guest addons but the 3d acceleration is still going to be sub par
[05:26] <shanebnetapp> should be under the machine menu if i remember right
[05:26] <bullgard4> th^^: This works. Thank you very much for your help.
[05:26] <th^^> Guest52979: you won't have much luck in running games in virtualbox
[05:26] <Guest52979> shanebnetapp, its fine i just need the game to regocnize my card so it will run
[05:26] <th^^> Guest52979: and you can't do that
[05:26] <th^^> Guest52979: virtual machines do not have access to the hardware
[05:27] <Guest52979> the^^ ahh okay
[05:27] <shanebnetapp> you can get *some* 3d accel support
[05:27] <th^^> there is proof-of-concept (pretty bad) 3d support in virtualbox anyway
[05:27] <Guest52979> how do i put guest addons on?
[05:27] <shanebnetapp> but like i said, it's terrible
[05:27] <th^^> but you can't realistically play anything with it
[05:27] <th^^> *anything* :)
[05:27] <shanebnetapp> what game is it?
[05:27] <vandemar> Guest52979: that's not going to work until sometime in the future when pcie video card virtualization is mainstream and has driver support
[05:27] <shanebnetapp> you might be able to get it working in wine
[05:27] <Guest52979> free style street basketball
[05:27] <shanebnetapp> tons of documentation on getting popular games working in wine
[05:27] <th^^> wine might be better guess
[05:27] <CloudHighwind> Hello, I cannot make use of  Magic SysRq Key on my hp 625 notebook of german model.
[05:27] <CloudHighwind> It has alt, fn, einfg(ins)/druck(print) and the entf(del)/s-abf(sysRq) keys. Can anyone help me?
[05:27] <Guest52979> ehh i tried wine and it wouldnt install
[05:28] <vandemar> Guest52979: you may be able to install a second video card and pass through the entire pci device to the guest os, maybe
[05:28] <Luxe> Well meh.
[05:28] <Guest52979> vandemar, im new to ubuntu haha that sounds complicated
[05:28] <vandemar> not sure if virtualbox does that, some other hypervisors do though
[05:28] <Luxe> Finally got Conky working.
[05:28] <shanebnetapp> Luxe, HIGH FIVE
[05:28] <shanebnetapp> conky can be a pain
[05:28] <Los7puppy> r00ster!!!!!!
[05:28] <Luxe> ^5
[05:28] <Luxe> :P
[05:29] <Luxe> I had to gedit /usr/nicholas/.conkyrc
[05:29] <Los7puppy> r00ster have my babies
[05:29] <Luxe> And then had to edit that.
[05:29] <Blueleaf> hello all
[05:29] <Luxe> To my specifications.
[05:29] <Luxe> So :D
[05:29] <gul> Blueleaf: hi! :)
[05:29] <Guest52979> do u guys know any way to make ubuntu run like smoother?
[05:29] <Blueleaf> can anyone tell me why my screen blinks?
[05:29] <vandemar> smoother?  what's that supposed to mean?
[05:30] <adamfyre> i love these questions
[05:30] <rypervenche> adamfyre: I know, right?
[05:30] <th^^> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[05:30] <Guest52979> vandemar, for instance like i put wobbly windows but it doesnt run as smooth as i would like it to
[05:30] <gul> I just pressed ctrl+l and everything vanished.......????
[05:30] <adamfyre> rypervenche yipp
[05:30] <Guest52979> same thing when i like minimize windows and such
[05:30] <th^^> Guest52979: gfx card?
[05:30] <shanebnetapp> Guest52979, have you installed up to date video drivers for your card?
[05:31] <adamfyre> guest wobbly is super smooth on my computer
[05:31] <vandemar> Guest52979: advanced graphics stuff on linux is hit and miss, depends heavily on graphics card and whether you're using open source (nouveau, radeon) or closed (nvidia, fglrx)
[05:31] <Guest52979> th^^ his radeon hd 5770 pro
[05:31] <th^^> if you're using proprietary ati driver
[05:31] <th^^> you're sh*t out of luck :)
[05:31] <Guest52979> shanebnetapp, yes i installed propietrary drivers or however u spell it
[05:31] <shanebnetapp> runs fine with my hd5870
[05:31] <polardroid> like smoother  ..  ubuntu runs pretty good and updates every week or so  ..
[05:31] <th^^> compiz lags with it, runs much better with open driver, but this can't run any games
[05:32] <Guest52979> vandemar, do u think ati has separate drivers for linux?
[05:32] <vandemar> there is open source (radeon) and closed source (fglrx).  neither one is perfect.
[05:32] <Guest52979> well i mean it runs fine just sometimes lags a bit or like it takes a little long to open a program
[05:32] <th^^> closed one is just less bad
[05:32] <th^^> but they're both bad
[05:32] <th^^> :P
[05:33] <Blueleaf> i have no video or graphics problems at all, except, ocasionally, my screen just blinks, go completely black for half a sec then comes back fine
[05:33] <Guest52979> although no matter what instal it never gets slower i like that
[05:33] <vicious_> :p
[05:33] <rypervenche> Guest52979: It could also just be your computer. Compiz does use more resources than not using it :P
[05:33] <vicious_> ^O^
[05:33] <Luxe> Bleh.
[05:33] <vicious_> lol
[05:33] <Guest52979> shanebnetapp, hey did u have to download separate drivers for ur 5870?
[05:33] <polardroid> you cant beat good hardware  ..
[05:33] <vandemar> my current annoyance with fglrx is it has to be installed AND an xserver has to be using it before the card can do opencl.
[05:33] <vicious_> 可以说中文么?
[05:34] <rypervenche> 可以
[05:34] <shanebnetapp> Guest52979: no i just turn on the proprietary ones
[05:34] <rypervenche> But not here.
[05:34] <Guest52979> rypervenche,  i have 4 gigs of ram though. should i get more maybe?
[05:34] <Guest52979> shanebnetapp, yeah thats what i did =[[
[05:34] <vandemar> how much is allocated to the host vs guest?
[05:34] <vicious_> where?
[05:34] <shanebnetapp> you can turn on a few toolkits with compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:34] <shanebnetapp> that may help
[05:34] <vandemar> for that matter what OS is the host and guest, I never caught that part
[05:34] <shanebnetapp> make sure opengl is on etc
[05:34] <th^^> Guest52979: 11.04 has the latest ati driver release already, and no you can't do anything for it :)
[05:34] <Guest86570> how do i make a new room
[05:34] <rypervenche> vicious_: either in #ubuntu-cn or in a private message.
[05:34] <th^^> Guest52979: if you don't need games, open driver runs unity/compiz etc pretty smoothly
[05:35] <th^^> Guest52979: but you can forget about the games with it
[05:35] <vicious_> thks
[05:35] <shanebnetapp> i can't speak much to gaming, i reboot to windows for most of that
[05:35] <Guest52979> th^^ whats open driver?
[05:35] <shanebnetapp> i only play minecraft which is a memory hog but doesn't do much to stress a graphics card
[05:36] <th^^> Guest52979: the one you get when you don't enable proprietary driver from 'additional drivers' dialog :)
[05:37] <Guest86570>  help
[05:37] <Guest52979> th^^ so wait if uninstall propiertary dirvers it wil run beter?
[05:38] <CloudHighwind> Can anyone tell me how to find out, which graphic driver is used by my OS? I have a 10.04 System.
[05:39] <vandemar> /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:39] <dslip> howdy guys, anyone have a good intro guides to ubuntu's inbuilt KVM virtualisation ?
[05:39] <th^^> Guest52979: it should, compiz at least
[05:40] <Guest52979> th^^ what about like running videos and stuff on the web and 3d aprehensive things
[05:40] <vandemar> dslip: yeah, qemu docs/manpages pretty well cover the basics
[05:40] <th^^> dslip: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/virtualization.html
[05:40] <th^^> Guest52979: games will be bad, at least
[05:40] <th^^> i run proprietary one, i like my gaming
[05:40] <th^^> :P
[05:41] <dslip> looking for a little 'less technical' and more handholding, eg you got 10.04LTS up n running, ticked the vm host server install options, and now lets setup your first guest OS
[05:42] <PresuntoRJ> SailorReality: Ubuntu is Linux
[05:42] <Guest52979> th^^ what games do you play on your distro and what distro is best for gaming?
[05:42] <vandemar> kvm is not for the faint of heart.  you probably want to be using virtualbox, even though 4.0.8 has some really annoying UI bugs
[05:43] <Los7puppy> anyone know a good IM/VOIP and file sharing and or remote desktop app for Ubuntu ? My buddy and me are both learning together and wee need a good program that can do that
[05:43] <dslip> i have previously been using vmware server
[05:43] <sabiancrash> can someone type !ping for me
[05:43] <th^^> Guest52979: warsow and quakelive mainly
[05:44] <gul> Quiz: How to do this using command line. Create 50 folders.Now open 1st and there should be again 50 fol. Open 2nd & again 50 fol and so on.... Now open 1st of 1st fol and there sholud be 50 fol agian and so on...... open each folder at each level and there should be 50 folder in each. Limit- this should happen till 50 levels. You can imageine this as a tree. with each folder growing into 50 more and these 50 grows to more 50 and so on. Till 50 levels.
[05:44] <vandemar> Los7puppy: vnc over ssh.  filesharing: dropbox.  im: pidgin or empathy
[05:44] <dslip> ideally I would have preferred a vmware->kvm converter so I could just point it at the virtual settins and it does the rest
[05:44] <vandemar> virtualbox will convert from vmdk to raw I think
[05:45] <dslip> vandemar: it is a headless machine though, will virtual box run headless ?
[05:45] <vandemar> another reason to use virtualbox is it handles vmdk natively without conversion
[05:45] <dslip> but i would just as easily run vmware server again
[05:45] <sabiancrash> note: I have had unrepairable drive corruption using vmdks
[05:45] <Blueleaf> gul why would you want to??
[05:45] <sabiancrash> don't recommend it
[05:45] <sabiancrash> now type !ping pls
[05:46] <dslip> been running a variant of vmware server for years now, no issues
[05:46] <vandemar> sabiancrash: so did i... when it was inside an encrypted homedir.  since moving it to a separate partition (truecrypt container), I haven't had any problems
[05:46] <dslip> so sounds like kvm is not the way to go, thus will install vmware
[05:46] <Omega> CloudHighwind: run sudo lshw -c video
[05:46] <vandemar> sabiancrash: was yours in an ecryptfs homedir?
[05:46] <Blueleaf> vandemar truecrypt runs on nix?
[05:47] <gul> Blueleaf: first for security ( to keep files). Creating these many folders using keyboard and mouse is toooooo tedious. Second to check if this is possible In Linux. :)
[05:47] <vandemar> Blueleaf: yes :)
[05:47] <CloudHighwind> Omega: Thank You
[05:47] <sabiancrash> vandemar, for me it corrupted the stage2 portion of grub left it unbootable even after a reinstall of grub
[05:47] <th^^> and mac too
[05:47] <Omega> CloudHighwind: Look for the line with "configuration". The loaded driver is prefixed with "driver:".
[05:47] <vandemar> sabiancrash: encrypted homedir or not?
[05:47] <sabiancrash> homedir was encrypted
[05:47] <Blueleaf> gul it is possible, just never considered trying it
[05:47] <sabiancrash> but it didn't get that far so it wasn't the cause
[05:48] <Blueleaf> vandemar native or wine/
[05:48] <vandemar> Blueleaf: native
[05:48] <gul> Blueleaf: how....... using nested loops , it is possible. but how from command line?
[05:48] <Guest52979> what are the most famous linux games?
[05:48] <Guest52979> any ganre
[05:48] <sabiancrash> I was able to cp -a all the none special file systems over to a new drive on vdi
[05:48] <Blueleaf> gul could write a script, or recursive cp statements
[05:49] <Blueleaf> gul would have to give it thought when sober(er)
[05:49] <gul> Blueleaf: that is using a programming language... that I can do... how with Terminal? ummmmmm
[05:50] <sabiancrash> I basically setup 9.04 on a new disk based on vdi instead of vmdk and then mounted the two systems in a livedisk and cp -a them over
[05:50] <gul> Blueleaf: but sure do it..... gud exercise for brain
[05:50] <Blueleaf> gul hmmm, a very long statement, would take more than one
[05:50] <Guest52979> th^^ warsow wont install idk y i click on it and nothing happens
[05:50] <jrolland-ubuntu> how do I get an "s" in front of a file's permissions, ala srw-rw-rw-
[05:50] <sabiancrash> it wasn't flawless as the kernel wasn't exactly the same so the network driver wouldn't load but I was able to pull that over via a usb drive and then compile it locally
[05:51] <vandemar> sabiancrash: you might have also been able to use VBoxManage clonehd
[05:51] <gul> Blueleaf: seems to be......I am not this much expert in commands so posted here
[05:51] <sabiancrash> vandemar, I tried
[05:51] <sabiancrash> it caused the same hang on the grub loading screen
[05:51] <jrolland-ubuntu> Anyone?
[05:51] <roryy> jrolland-ubuntu: i think those are unix sockets; you need to create one (can't remember how).  you can't change a file into a socket, afaik
[05:51] <Blueleaf> gul i will work on it and if i see you here again i will pass it on
[05:52] <vandemar> sabiancrash: that was on first boot from the hdd?
[05:52] <sabiancrash> yes
[05:52] <gul> Blueleaf: I am here......and will be here only.....with this name only. :)
[05:52] <th^^> Guest52979: download unified zip from warsow.net, and chmod +x warsow warsow.i386 warsow.x86_64
[05:52] <th^^> Guest52979: and run ./warsow
[05:52] <sabiancrash> something was wrong inside the disk as it would eventually start corrupting other parts of the filesystem including the /etc dirs
[05:52] <vandemar> sabiancrash: sounds more like a bug with vmdk and grub rather than corruption
[05:52] <Guest52979> th^^ thats complicated haha
[05:53] <sabiancrash> this is a disk that worked fine for years prior
[05:53] <th^^> Guest52979: well, or select those files in file manager, 2nd click properties and checkbox 'allow executing' :)
[05:53] <Blueleaf> gul ah, but i come and go but always the same nick
[05:53] <Guest52979> can i change my name so when i sign on it automatically stays i always change my name it goes back to guest23494943
[05:53] <sabiancrash> I kept having to restore a 9GB file to get back to where I was
[05:53] <gul> Blueleaf: nice...then no prob
[05:53] <gul> Blueleaf: we can meet any time... ;)
[05:54] <PresuntoRJ> can I uninstall Unity2d to re-enable Unity3d ?
[05:54] <sabiancrash> please someone type !ping so I can disable this stupid script
[05:54] <PresuntoRJ> !ping > sabiancrash
[05:54] <vandemar> sabiancrash: I wouldn't be so quick to blame virtualbox since it was on an encrypted fs and ecryptfs has a known corruption bug last time I checked a few weeks ago
[05:54] <th^^> PresuntoRJ: just select 'ubuntu' as session from login screen
[05:54] <sabiancrash> leave out the >
[05:55] <PresuntoRJ> th^^: ok, but I get the Unity2d now... I have a new video card and I want to try the Unity3d again...
[05:55] <sabiancrash> PresuntoRJ did you get a message
[05:55] <d_atharva> Hi.....I have 12 computers on LAN and 4 have Ubuntu and rest of them have Windows...Is there any software which can give me all information about the computers which are online and Can I manage to edit the settings like IP address etc ??? And I also want a software which can help to see the desktop of other computer on LAN..pl.Help....
[05:55] <sabiancrash> I don't see what the ops are complaining about
[05:55] <PresuntoRJ> !ping
[05:55] <bullgard4> What is the filename of the Disk Mounter binary executable?
[05:56]  * KM0201 laughs at ubottu 
[05:56] <sabiancrash> ahh, maybe I see it
[05:56] <sabiancrash> so many logs
[05:56] <th^^> PresuntoRJ: check 'additional drivers' that adequate drivers are installed, or if necessary reinstall those drivers
[05:56] <Guest52979> ubottu, hello
[05:56] <gul> which is gud  FEATURE full dock ( without compositing) - Awn or Cairo?
[05:56] <rww> !ping
[05:56] <sabiancrash> got it, thanks
[05:57] <sabiancrash> I wrote this stuff like 10+ years ago
[05:57] <Guest52979> this ubottu guy keeps tallking lol
[05:57] <PresuntoRJ> th^^: I have tried to remove the Unity2d packages (panel, indicator, lib, etc) but now it falls back to Classic No Effects instead of Unity 3D
[05:57] <vandemar> d_atharva: remote desktop client, vnc client, most of the software auditing stuff like belarc advisor is payware if you want a networked version.  managing ips... nobody does that anymore for informal networks, use multicast dns
[05:57] <sabiancrash> I think I removed it
[05:58] <PresuntoRJ> Guest52979: its a robot, a software
[05:58] <gul> which is gud  FEATURE full dock ( without compositing) - Awn or Cairo? I want to try one on XFCE. :)
[05:58] <Guest52979> does anyone here know how to hack a wifi password?
[05:58] <Guest52979> internet is expensive these days
[05:58] <sabiancrash> Guest52979, seriously, you expect to have an explantion in IRC?
[05:59] <Guest52979> no can i direct chat you?
[05:59] <PresuntoRJ> Guest52979: try googling for it...
[05:59] <vandemar> Guest52979: I've got a great program that will listen and hack wifi passwords, binary-only I'm afraid
[05:59] <Corey> Guest52979: That's off topic for this network.
[05:59] <sabiancrash> you don't understand enough about WiFI or the encryption protocols never mind it has nothing to do with ubuntu
[05:59] <kennett> How can I see what model of video card and driver I have installed on my system?
[06:00] <vandemar> kennett: `lspci -v` or `lshw`
[06:01] <sabiancrash> Guest52979 hang out in #kismet you might learn some things
[06:02] <Guest52979> sabiancrash, whats that?
[06:02] <kennett> Is su super-user?
[06:02] <Guest52979> sabiancrash, the channel at least
[06:02] <sabiancrash> join it and see or google the name
[06:03] <sabiancrash> you will learn a little about 802.11
[06:04] <sabiancrash> I certainly don't condone "hacking" for malicious or deviant intent.  If you using the knowledge against your own systems for your own edification, it can be very rewarding
[06:04] <bazhang> !ot | sabiancrash rubenjr
[06:04] <sabiancrash> thanks bazhang I had no idea :P
[06:05] <Blueleaf> nothing like hacking your own system to find out how smart you arent
[06:05] <sabiancrash> Blueleaf, exactly troubleshooting my grub hang issues was a stark reminder of just how smart I am not
[06:06] <Blueleaf> sabiancrash: yeah, its amazing what you can see when you look at your system from underneath
[06:07] <rubenjr> Blueleaf, what are you guys talking about?
[06:07] <sabiancrash> I would still like to know how fscking the filesystem ended up causing the entire contents to be placed in .lost+found
[06:07] <shaun> Can someone tell me how I can find my LAN IP for this computer? I could do it in Windows using ipconfig or LAN Properties... but I'm not sure how to here.
[06:07] <sabiancrash> sudo ifconfig
[06:07] <Blueleaf> sabiancrash: thats where the sys puts stuff it doesnt know what to do with
[06:07] <vandemar> shaun: ip addr
[06:08] <Blueleaf> sabiancrash: still interesting though.....
[06:08] <sabiancrash> Blueleaf, yah which was the entire contents of the disk
[06:08] <sabiancrash> but it didn't stop there, superblocks were missing, inodes corrupt
[06:08] <vandemar> sabiancrash: doing a non-readonly fsck of a mounted filesystem is a horrible idea
[06:09] <Blueleaf> sabiancrash: at least you know where all your files are! Im still looking for mine..
[06:09] <sabiancrash> vandemar, didn't matter, of course I backed up my virtual drive before performing any action
[06:09] <shaun> Thank you.
[06:10] <sabiancrash> the drive wasn't mounted when I fsck'd it
[06:11] <nownot> so i screwed up my /var directory, i acciendtly did sudo chown -R user1 * so damn ... how do i fix this?
[06:12] <sabiancrash> but going on what vandemar was referring to, you should never fsck a root partition while booted into that partition, bad ideas, I used a live cd and then didn't mount it
[06:12] <nownot> ideas?
[06:12] <vandemar> nownot: that's not pretty.  I don't know of any easy way to reset permissions for all the files back to their original owners
[06:12] <nownot> really don't want to reinstall
[06:13] <sabiancrash> you scewed up the permissions for a LOT of things
[06:13] <nownot> crap
[06:13] <vandemar> yeah
[06:13] <nownot> didnt want to hear that :-(
[06:13] <Blueleaf> ooo that ones gonna hurt
[06:13] <bullgard4> What is the filename of the Disk Mounter binary executable?
[06:13] <nownot> what if i just set everything to root and change as needed ...
[06:13] <nownot> ?
[06:13] <vandemar> bullgard4: `mount`
[06:13] <nownot> i mean, DANG IT!!!
[06:14]  * sabiancrash tabs his trusty backups
[06:14] <vandemar> nownot: well, for instance, a lot of daemons will log to /var/log/whatever and they need their log files to be writable
[06:14] <bullgard4> vandemar: No.
[06:14] <Blueleaf> or let every one have everything and trust them....
[06:14] <nownot> all im saying is there needs to be *repair permissions ... the only reason i say this is becase this is what i need .... :P
[06:15] <vandemar> nownot: also /var/tmp needs to be rwxrwxrwt, and hundreds of other special cases in /var have similar special requirements
[06:15] <nownot> so reinstall it is ...
[06:15] <nownot> frak
[06:15] <sabiancrash> nownot did you do much special casing?
[06:15] <vandemar> bullgard4: no what?
[06:15] <nownot> sabiancrash: huh? i dont know what that means
[06:15] <bullgard4> vandemar: You answered my questiion wrongly.
[06:15] <sabiancrash> nownot did you alter the permissions of a lot of folders specifically
[06:16] <nownot> well i did recursive on the whole /var directory
[06:16] <sabiancrash> nownot otherwise you can install the same version in a virtual box vm and use that as a reference to slowly repair your dirs
[06:16] <Flannel> nownot: You did chown? or chmod?
[06:16] <nownot> Flannel: chown
[06:16] <vandemar> bullgard4: are you talking about a special gui mounter, because `mount` is the canonical unix mount command
[06:17] <nownot> just to be clear i have two raid 5, on a reinstall there is a command i can use with mdadm that will check the drives for raid configuration and configure for me .. right?
[06:17] <LinuxFox> w
[06:18] <vandemar> nownot: not sure if the default installer disk does that, might need the alternate
[06:18] <Flannel> nownot: Thats probably more salvagable than chmod.  Most stuff is owned by root, local is root:staff, mail is root:mail. but it does get complicated.
[06:18] <dijonyummy> is ubuntu alacarte gnome panel menu editor dependent on python2? seems broken if i symlink python to python3
[06:18] <BlackDalek> I am getting "unexpected token `newline'" error.... this is the command which is not working for me... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/627773/   Can anyone tell where the error is? I can't find it.....
[06:18] <Flannel> nownot: You might be able to get most of it by running a liveCD and comparing.  once you get three or so levels down, the oddities probably die out (this is just a conjecture)
[06:19] <Blueleaf> a dalek??? holy cow, is the doctor still around?
[06:19] <bullgard4> vandemar: I am talking about the Disk Mounter utility which is a GNOME panel applet.
[06:19] <nownot> Flannel: well i mean if on a reinstall i can do mdadm setup my old raids then ill just do that
[06:20] <frozeninferno> how do you add your username to sudoers so you don't need to enter a password for sudo?
[06:20] <Flannel> nownot: Is /var part of your RAIDs?
[06:20] <nownot> no
[06:20] <Flannel> what is?
[06:20] <royale1223> frozeninferno: you cant
[06:20] <bullgard4> frozeninferno: Don't do that! It is dangerous.
[06:20] <nownot> my media
[06:20] <sabiancrash> chowning to root would prolly get you most of the way there
[06:20] <dijonyummy> yeah seems like it requires python2.6, 2.7 breaks it also the gmenu
[06:20] <Flannel> royale1223: Yes you can.
[06:20] <frozeninferno> royale1223: i have before, i just forgot how
[06:20] <Flannel> nownot: Yeah, that'd work.
[06:21] <nownot> Flannel: which one?
[06:21] <frozeninferno> bullgard4: i've done it before and it was fine, i just forgot how
[06:21] <royale1223> Flannel: how?
[06:21] <Flannel> nownot: reinstalling and then remounting your RAID afterwards
[06:22] <nownot> does mdadm have a command to scan all drives and auto setup arrays? or is there a way to back up my mdadm config or whats the best way to go about this
[06:22] <Blueleaf> cheers, all
[06:22] <vandemar> nownot: you could try installing ubuntu in a vm on another computer, then tarballing /var and copying it over
[06:22] <Flannel> royale1223: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
[06:22] <nownot> vandemar: seems easier to reinstall as long as raid will get set back up
[06:22] <sabiancrash> nownot: You can also do a find /var ! -user root -type d -ls to list all the non root owners and their dirs in a stock install to see what you need to make NOT root
[06:22] <nownot> its just my sever, i dont use it as a everyday machine just to stream media
[06:23] <Corey> !ping
[06:23] <elijahsh> Hi! How to select keyboard layout from command line? I need every time gnome screen-saver turned off my layout is set to "us".
[06:23] <sabiancrash> wtf is with the !ping(s)
[06:23] <frozeninferno> how do you add your username to sudoers so you don't need to enter a password for sudo?
[06:23] <Corey> !language | sabiancrash
[06:24] <Flannel> oh.
[06:24] <Flannel> frozeninferno: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
[06:24] <frozeninferno> lol, "wtf" got a !language? seriously?
[06:24] <sabiancrash> yah, its all corporate
[06:24] <frozeninferno> thanks, flannel
[06:24] <sabiancrash> which prolly is an !ot
[06:25] <mrcreativity> is there a reason unity is so slow on my computer?
[06:25] <nownot> so if i want to on a fresh install re-assembly my raid devices how do i do such?
[06:27] <sabiancrash> nownot Good luck gettin your system back up, be careful with sudo & -R, dangerous stuff, will be back later
[06:28] <Thegoatonly123> hey
[06:29] <Thegoatonly123> you can all suck it
[06:29] <frozeninferno> once you edit sudoers using visudo, do the changes automatically take place?
[06:29] <sabiancrash> mrcreativity, define slow and what system/specs.  I have run unity on very old and underpowered computers well
[06:29] <matt548> .leave #ubuntu
[06:29] <Flannel> frozeninferno: yes.
[06:29] <MagePsycho> hi guys
[06:29] <mrcreativity> core 2 duo 2.0ghz, ati hd2600 256mb
[06:30] <Flannel> frozeninferno: Thats why you use visudo, because it checks syntax.
[06:30] <mrcreativity> and the workspace switcher is laggy
[06:30] <frozeninferno> flannel: makes sense. thanks a lot
[06:30] <mrcreativity> gnome 3 is so much smoother
[06:30] <MagePsycho> can anyone tell me how to find the last 10 modified files using grep command or any other?
[06:30] <Thegoatonly123> new here
[06:30] <Thegoatonly123> can anyone see this?
[06:30] <Edie__> I need help installing .run amd radeon 6xxx drivers!@
[06:30] <sabiancrash> mrcreativity, I am not sure, thats more than enough power even for software rendering
[06:30] <bazhang> Thegoatonly123, ubuntu support issue?
[06:30] <mrcreativity> i know
[06:30] <niku> Thegoatonly123, yes, we can
[06:30] <BlackDalek> I am having problems trying to use perl or sed to remove this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/627777/ from about 240+ files in subdirectories... I am getting error unexpected token `newline' because my character escaping is not working out properly... can anyone please convert my string properly so that it will be accepted on the command line? I am desperate...
[06:31] <Thegoatonly123> gotcha, actually I'm familiar with Ubuntu, but I've never used IRC before
[06:31] <sabiancrash> as an example, unity runs well on a CR 48 which is an atom processor
[06:31] <Edie__> I just cant install the .run file
[06:31] <Edie__> it says it needs x.org version 6.9 or above
[06:31] <MagePsycho> can anyone tell me how to find the last 10 modified files using grep command or any other?
[06:32] <Edie__> How can I donwload that?
[06:32] <susundberg> MagePsycho: use 'find' command
[06:33] <Edie__> HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD X.ORG SO AS TO INSTALL .RUN FILES?
[06:33] <susundberg> (and you can then feed name of those files to grep by doing find <my condition here>|xargs grep <grep arguments>
[06:33] <Corey> !caps | Edie__
[06:33] <Corey> Edie__: X isn't a dependency for .run files?
[06:34] <vandemar> BlackDalek: if you had a simpler case with a file containing a bunch of lines, then abc, then more lines, then "def", then more, you would do `sed -i -e "/abc/,/def/ d" <file>`  (but back each file up beforehand in case you screw up)
[06:34] <susundberg> Edie__: i guess that is that shell script, check head <my filename>
[06:34] <Edie__> I ran the .run file for my graphic card driver but it just disappeared shortly after I typed in my password
[06:34] <Edie__> the last thing i can read is "x.org version 6.9
[06:34] <susundberg> Edie__: what disappeared?
[06:34] <pc> hola
[06:34] <susundberg> Edie__: the file you ran?
[06:35] <Edie__> the terminal
[06:35] <mrcreativity> would someone please suggest a good place to find instructions on making scripts? i would like to automate adding ppas using a script./
[06:35] <Jordan_U_> Edie__: What version of Ubuntu are you using? Have you tried the "Additional Drivers" utility?
[06:35] <Edie__> additional driverse gave me fglrx which is useless
[06:35] <Edie__> it isn't active at all
[06:35] <vandemar> mrcreativity: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[06:35] <Edie__> and my screen resolution cannot be adjusted
[06:35] <susundberg> mrcreativity: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/Bash-Beginners-Guide.html
[06:35] <CarlFK> mrcreativity: apt-add-repository ?
[06:35] <susundberg> oh same paste :)
[06:36] <mrcreativity> thank you
[06:36] <MagePsycho> hi susundberg .. can you help me with full command
[06:36] <vandemar> nah I linked the advanced guide :)
[06:36] <mrcreativity> i want to add around 15 ppas,
[06:36] <Edie__> that's why I am trying to install the amd driver from amd.com
[06:36] <susundberg> MagePsycho: no, you need to read the manpages your self, so you learn to read the manpages, start with "man find"
[06:37] <BlackDalek> vandemar, yes, I was trying sed.... but the thing I want to replace is a long sequence between <script> tags and that is throwing it off and causing the unexpected `newline' syntax error, but I can't work out what part of the string is not being escaped with \'s
[06:37] <Edie__> umm... anyone has an idea about the sudden disappearing terminal running .run official driver?
[06:38] <susundberg> MagePsycho: but i give you a hint to grep "FOO" from files newer than file /tmp/timestamp on /tmp directory one can use "find /tmp/ -newer /tmp/timestamp|xargs grep FOO"
[06:38] <Jordan_U_> Edie__: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:39] <MagePsycho> thanks susundberg i will give a try
[06:39] <susundberg> Edie__: no that sounds really weird -- even if the script crash the terminal should not disapear
[06:39] <Edie__> Ubuntu 11.04
[06:39] <uberfrau> hey guys. i'm trying to get my wireless network adapter to work, i've already installed the drivers, and my wireless adapter can see the available networks, but it isn't letting me connect.
[06:39] <susundberg> MagePsycho: see 'man find' or google 'manpage find' for proper find file options :)
[06:39] <uberfrau> kubuntu 10.10 btw
[06:40] <sabiancrash> MagePsycho: I personally like the idea of doing ls -altr | tail -n 2 to find the 2 most recently modified files/dirs
[06:40] <sabiancrash> but... thats me, the man pages will explain why that works
[06:40] <Edie__> Jordan_U: Ubuntu 11.04
[06:40] <BlackDalek> I've tried to escape out every non alphanumeric character in the string thus - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/627781/ ...but it is still not working? What have I missed? can anyone find it?
[06:40] <Jordan_U_> Edie__: " additional driverse gave me fglrx which is useless" fglrx is AMD's driver. You will get fglrx with this .run installer as well.
[06:40] <Edie__> Jordan_U__:Ubuntu 11.04
[06:41] <modulep> Hi, My touchpad doesn't work. It will be fixed if I reload the psmouse module once. How can I do this automatically in startup? (It should be removed first and then be inserted again)
[06:41] <Edie__> Jordan_U__: But the additional driver tells me that it isn't in use even though it is activated
[06:41] <BlackDalek> bash hates me.
[06:41] <niku> modulep: /etc/modules
[06:42] <Jordan_U> Edie__: Did you restart after enabling the driver?
[06:42] <Guest6593> hello
[06:42] <Edie__> Umm... nope gonna do that now thanks
[06:42] <modulep> niku: are you sure? psmouse is inserted by default, what I need is reloading in.
[06:42] <modulep> *it
[06:42] <sabiancrash> BlackDalek, I usually use a script to perform escapes on long strings.  Easier than relying on a manually editing a file
[06:43] <MagePsycho> man command is like help ?
[06:43] <MagePsycho> i am new to linux
[06:43] <sabiancrash> MagePsycho yes
[06:43] <niku> modulep, you need, reloading?
[06:43] <MagePsycho> great
[06:43] <sabiancrash> MagePsycho https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#"Man" and getting help
[06:43] <niku> so it only works after you unload and reload it?
[06:44] <sabiancrash> very bad url if I may say so myself
[06:44] <modulep> niku: By default psmouse is loaded but I have problems with my thouchpad. If I remove it and insert it again, everything will be fixed. Now I'm looking for a solution to that automatically in startup
[06:45] <Corey> sabiancrash: I have a zsh function that auto-escapes URLs.
[06:45] <niku> modulep, I guess you could add the lines to reload it in /etc/rc2.d/s99rc.local
[06:45] <MagePsycho> now i am unable to exit from man command
[06:46] <CarlFK> MagePsycho: q for quit
[06:46] <modulep> niku: thanks, let me try it
[06:46] <BlackDalek> sabiancrash, do you know of any online conversion tools that would automatically escape a long string for me? I googled for such a thing about an hour ago, but couldn't seem to find one which puts the "\" escapes in...
[06:46] <elijahsh> How to select keyboard layout from command line? I need every time gnome screen-saver turned off my layout is set to "us".

[06:48] <newbeee> Hi guys anybody encountered a problem of not being able to play video files in fullscreen in vlc
[06:48] <newbeee> I mean the panels they always show up.I know autohide can be used .But it is tiresome to always enable and disable autohide
[06:48] <MagePsycho> great.. that worked like a charm
[06:48] <kennett> For some reason my sound does not work on my laptop.
[06:48] <newb_ie> Hi guys anybody encountered a problem of not being able to play video files in fullscreen in vlc
[06:49] <newb_ie>  I mean the panels they always show up.I know autohide can be used .But it is tiresome to always enable and disable autohide
[06:49] <bullgard4> [Natty, Ubuntu Classic No Effects] Pressing the F12 key toggles the highlighting of the title bar of window  having the focus. How can I find out to what the F12 key  is bound?
[06:49] <cordoval> which is the best chat program in ubuntu?
[06:49] <BlackDalek> Corey, would your script auto escape my long string for me? See here - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/627777/
[06:49] <cordoval> someone told me whenever they drag and drop the pastebin is included
[06:49] <iceroot> !best | cordoval
[06:50] <bullgard4> cordoval: Pidgin and Gajim.
[06:50] <cordoval> automatic pastebin on chat anyone?
[06:50] <cordoval> do they have automatic pastebin?
[06:50] <cordoval> bullgard4: ?
[06:50] <bullgard4> cordoval: ?
[06:50] <Corey> BlackDalek: Why not just single quote it?
[06:50] <cordoval> no limechat?
[06:51] <cordoval> bullgard4: do you have pastebin included on those?
[06:51] <BlackDalek> Corey, it doesn't work because there is single quotes within the string...
[06:51] <Corey> BlackDalek: It is single quoted.  SHould be fine?
[06:51] <bullgard4> cordoval: No. Why should I?
[06:51] <Corey> Ah.
[06:51] <Corey> BlackDalek: Escape the single quotes within the string.
[06:51] <CarlFK> bullgard4: system, keyboard shortcuts - but I don't see f12...
[06:51] <cordoval> bullgard4:  the question is if they support the feature
[06:52] <newb_ie> Anybody here using vlc on ubuntu 11.04
[06:52] <iceroot> cordoval: irssi have pastebin enabled. install pastebinit and then you can your "/exec foo | pastebinit"
[06:52] <BlackDalek> Corey, I tried, but I am still getting unexpected token `newline' and I can't work out why
[06:52] <iceroot> cordoval: as every other chatclient has which can execude bash-code
[06:52] <Jordan_U> BlackDalek: See the "quote" function included by default in Ubuntu.
[06:52] <bullgard4> CarlFK: Just a moment...
[06:53] <bullgard4> cordoval: I don't know.
[06:53] <BlackDalek> Jordan_U, what is quote function?
[06:53] <iceroot> cordoval: you can also write an alias /paste foo  which is calling /exec foo | pastebinit
[06:53] <cordoval> where is  irssi?
[06:54] <iceroot> cordoval: in the repis
[06:54] <iceroot> cordoval: in the repos
[06:54] <iceroot> cordoval: but its a command-line client. i guess every other good client can use /exec too
[06:54] <qin> cordoval: sudo apt-get install irssi irssi-scripts
[06:54] <cordoval> iceroot: is the best right?
[06:54] <iceroot> cordoval: i told you about best
[06:54] <cordoval> which one you use
[06:55] <iceroot> cordoval: irssi
[06:55] <cordoval> that is it
[06:55] <iceroot> cordoval: because for me irssi is the best. but that does not mean is for everyone the best
[06:55] <Omega> what's in irssi-scripts?
[06:55] <iceroot> Omega: irssi scripts
[06:56] <iceroot> Omega: http://scripts.irssi.org/
[06:56] <bullgard4> CarlFK: In System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts  I don't see f12 either.
[06:56] <iceroot> is there something like "dpkg -L foo" for apt-get? to see the content of a package which is only in the repos instead of localy installed
[06:57] <Jon--> Did a distribution upgrade on my laptop. Now, when I close the lid of my laptop (set action: suspend), I cannot resume without turning the power completely off. Ideas?
[06:57] <bullgard4> iceroot: A substitute is  packages.ubuntu.com.
[06:57] <JoeR1> I cannot remember the command to alter video settings
[06:57] <cordoval> a tutorial for iircc
[06:58] <iceroot> bullgard4: didnt see a dpkg -L function there
[06:59] <kennett> My sound is not working. Any ideas how to fix it any1?
[06:59] <JoeR1> I need a command to alter video settings
[06:59] <sabiancrash> kennett, first thing is check if you need to install a restricted driver
[06:59] <BlackDalek> ironically, during all the time I've spent in here, on google, and in the terminal, I could have manually went through every 250 of the files and removed the offending string myself... typical. But instead I am still stuck with 250 unedited files.. lol
[07:00] <bullgard4> iceroot: "-L" is a different function than you originally asked for.
[07:00] <sabiancrash> kennett Also check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[07:00] <iceroot> bullgard4: ?
[07:00] <bullgard4> iceroot: ?
[07:01] <JoeR1> I need to change my refresh rate in terminal
[07:01] <iceroot> bullgard4: i am asking if i can see what files a packages contains without downloading the package first and use dpkg -L
[07:01] <kennett> sabiancrash, How do I check if I need to install a restricted driver?
[07:01] <iceroot> JoeR1: xrandr
[07:01] <JoeR1> thank you iceroot
[07:01] <yagoo> iceroot, there's apt-file but it searches matches to files and doesn't filter what is installed
[07:02] <yagoo> !apt-file
[07:02] <bullgard4> iceroot: And I answered to that: "iceroot: A substitute is packages.ubuntu.com."
[07:02] <iceroot> yagoo: i know apt-file
[07:02] <haleybrober> Can anyone tell me how I can make a variable in a script that will take all arguments? Right now i have something liek directory="$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6" but I need more than just 6...
[07:02] <yagoo> iceroot, the proper way to do dpkg -L.. is like ->dpkg -L `which bash` ..
[07:02] <yagoo> you need to specify the full path
[07:03] <cheip> hi, i've ubuntu 11.04 on eeepc 1001ha, I use it with an external monitor, I want to set 1280x768 resolution, but it isn't a possibility in the configuration panel. What I can do?
[07:03] <iceroot> yagoo: ...  i want the content of a packages which is not installed
[07:03] <yagoo> iceroot, do a get-selections and compare that to dpkg -l
[07:03] <haleybrober> cheip: I think you need a newer driver for the integrated video card, I have the 1005PE and I had a similar problem, although i can't remember exactly how I fixed it
[07:03] <iceroot> yagoo: dpkg -L is only working with local packages, i want something which is showing me the content of an not installed package. so apt-get is reading the repos, so maybe there is an apt-get function
[07:03] <BlackDalek> I am going to ask one more time... Is there any guaranteed working command to remove this string http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/627777/ from multiple html files recursively across a multiple subdirectories? If not I am going back to manually editing each file.
[07:04]  * yagoo says scratch previous messg
[07:04] <yagoo> iceroot, only one i know close to that is apt-file
[07:04] <yagoo> iceroot, or look at the depends on in the packages (debian.org/Packages)
[07:05] <elijahsh> I have a problem with playing music in Ubuntu 11.04 Banshee and Rhythmbox do the same. Most time they play normally. But some time music plays  with echo and noise. Anyone experience same problem? How to fix it? (Now I restart player)
[07:05] <iceroot> yagoo: i guess you dont know what i want
[07:05] <yagoo> iceroot, it doesn't exist.
[07:05] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: yeah.. give me a sec to write some pythong...
[07:06] <cheip> haleybrober, can you paste me your xorg.conf, plz?
[07:06] <st_iron> good morning
[07:06] <mynotes1> what the command to search file on ubuntu
[07:06] <st_iron> find
[07:07] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, thanks for your commitment to my problem ;) I will continue to manually edit while you work, so that I do not end up wasting another hour if things don't work out as expected.
[07:07] <bullgard4> elijahsh: Check your alsamixer settings. The Microphone input may be active.
[07:07] <JoeR1> does anyone know how to force linux to display at 60hz because my copy is dead set on 50
[07:07] <kennett> sabiancrash, sudo aplay -l show no sound cards.
[07:08] <haleybrober> cheip: I just figured out to use $*
[07:08] <bullgard4> JoeR1: Try xrandr.
[07:09] <JoeR1> bullgard4, I did
[07:09] <haleybrober> but if anyone can tell me how to get find to -print full directories when I put in a relative directory, that would be awesome
[07:09] <bullgard4> JoeR1: And why did you not mention this in your question?
[07:10] <JoeR1> bullgard4, because I suck okay? can i please focus on the real problem?
[07:10] <elijahsh> bullgard4: It is not microphone. It's muted and monitor muted.
[07:10] <cordoval> I did install pastebinit
[07:10] <cordoval> it does not work
[07:10] <cordoval>  exec foo | pastebinit
[07:11] <bullgard4> JoeR1: A carefully worded question raises chances to get a useful answer and does not leave the burden to a goodwill supporter.
[07:11] <Kartagis> cordoval, it doesn't work because pastebin changed structure
[07:11] <elijahsh> elijahsh: It's some kind of problem in codecs I think.
[07:11] <cordoval> 01:11 /bin/sh: /home/cordoval/sites-2/crownacnz/.gitignore: Permission denied
[07:11] <cordoval> 01:11 You are trying to send an empty document, exiting.
[07:11] <Kartagis> (I think)
[07:12] <cordoval> Kartagis: what structure then
[07:12] <JoeR1> bullgard4,  thank you for the etiquette lesson
[07:12] <Kartagis> cordoval, API maybe, I'm not sure
[07:12] <JoeR1> I don't care
[07:12] <bullgard4> elijahsh: I do not know the solution. May be another setting in alsamixer is wrong.
[07:12] <cordoval> oh forget I am going for another chat
[07:12] <cordoval> just need the feature to drag and drop text
[07:12] <cordoval> and will turn it into pastebinit
[07:13] <Kartagis> cordoval, get the pastebin plugin for chrome
[07:13] <cordoval> but my code is not in internet
[07:14] <Kartagis> cordoval, you can copy from wherever and paste in the plugin window
[07:14] <cordoval> this thing should be drag and drop automatic though
[07:14] <nawk> Hi there, previously when I install the 64-bit "Square" release of adobe flashplayer on linux, I simply copy "libflashplayer.so" to "usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"
[07:14] <cordoval> the chat program has to do it
[07:14] <nawk> and the next time I open firefox, it would be loaded
[07:15] <nawk> but there are *some instances (like what I am experiencing now) where it's not recognized
[07:15] <DJHenjin> hello #ubuntu
[07:15] <nawk>  how can I make it work?
[07:15] <haleybrober> does anyone know how I can make find spit out full directory paths instead of relative paths?
[07:15] <Kartagis> cordoval, but remember that long pastes trigger spam protection so you need to go there afterwards and enter some CAPTCHA
[07:15] <cordoval> depends on the service
[07:15] <cordoval> which chat program does that?
[07:15] <Kartagis> haleybrober, invoke find on /
[07:15] <cheip> DJHenjin, do you know how can I set the right resolution for my external monitor on my eeepc 1001ha?
[07:16] <qin> cordoval: echo foo | pastebinit
[07:16] <Kartagis> cordoval, is there one?
[07:16] <qin> cordoval: http://pastebin.com/DDWmJpMn
[07:16] <bullgard4> [Natty, Ubuntu Classic No Effects] Pressing the F12 key toggles the highlighting of the title bar of window  having the focus. How can I find out to what the F12 key  is bound? System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts does not list F12.
[07:16] <cordoval> what is foo there? my text file?
[07:16] <cordoval> what if it is elsewhere
[07:16] <DJHenjin> i have a ubuntu 10.04 install that boots and as soon as it hits the "desktop" it hardlocks and wont do anything at all
[07:16] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: http://dpaste.de/Mmxz/  that takes one file.  im getting too sleepy to do the 'recurse dirs' thing, but hopfully you know how to do that with find ... -exec
[07:16] <cordoval> or a portion, that will stop me from doing it
[07:16] <mynotes1> is there anyway that i can find the file i open yesterday? i'm look for my pdf.like recent file open on windows
[07:16] <cordoval> too many steps
[07:16] <cordoval> no cli will match
[07:16] <cordoval> or do
[07:16] <FloodBot1> cordoval: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:17] <qin> cordoval: cat text.txt | pastebinit
[07:17] <viderizeri> Uhh
[07:17] <viderizeri> I ran out of space
[07:17] <viderizeri> in ubuntu
[07:18] <cordoval> qin: no, it needs drag and drop
[07:18] <viderizeri> How could I resize the ubuntu partition in my computer
[07:19]  * Luxe is away reason : I'm sleep now. ZzZ
[07:20] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: did that make any sense?
[07:20] <qin> cordoval: You can just open paste.ubuntu.com and paste (or drag) there.
[07:20] <DJHenjin> i cant get into grub to boot into single user mode and i cant drop to TTY using ctrl alt F1
[07:20] <cordoval> that is not automatic to the chat window
[07:20] <cordoval> qin: no
[07:20] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, hold on, I am reading it...
[07:21] <DJHenjin> and my live cd keeps booting to terminal
[07:21] <k_sze> Is there anything inherently wrong with this command?: sudo pppd /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 169.254.2.1:169.254.2.2 ms-dns 169.254.2.2 linkname hht nodefaultroute noauth local crtscts updetach
[07:21] <chamodi> hi
[07:21] <bullgard4> viderizeri: You need a Live CD. Then use the GParted program on it.
[07:22]  * DJHenjin whistles casually
[07:22] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, do I replace filename with *.html? and do I need to replace foo with something?
[07:22] <viderizeri> Is there any way to do it by multibooting back to ubuntu and resize the partition with windows?
[07:22] <viderizeri> I think I have ine partition manager in Windows
[07:23] <Kartagis> !qtparted | viderizeri
[07:23] <bullgard4> !prefix viderizeri
[07:23] <Kartagis> argh
[07:23] <chamodi> download new open source os: spes os from sourceforge.net
[07:23] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: this will fix somefile.html:  save the code as fixit.py, chmod u+x fixit.py, run it: ./fixit.py somefile.html
[07:23] <bullgard4> !prefix | viderizeri
[07:23] <viderizeri> ok, ubottu
[07:24] <chamodi> need terminal help
[07:24] <Kartagis> viderizeri, you can use gparted program after booting off live cd
[07:24] <Kartagis> !gparted | viderizeri
[07:24] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: foo="""stuff""" is the stuff you wanted deleted - I copied it from http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/627777/
[07:24] <bullgard4> viderizeri: I do not know if Windows can do that. You might ask in ##windows
[07:24] <qin> viderizeri: In case you planning to resize two partition (windows and ubuntu), I do recommend general back up, and reinsatll both systems with new (better) set of partitions.
[07:24] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, ah... ok, so I do not need to modify the code itself...
[07:25] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: right.
[07:25] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: to search all your dirs:  find ./ -name "*.html" -exec fixit.py {} \;
[07:25] <mynotes1> log
[07:25] <DJHenjin> any ideas as to why its hardlocking after booting
[07:25] <KolakCC> Hi guys, noob question here but where do programs installed with apt-get get installed to?
[07:26] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: er.. I think you need ./  so make that :  find ./ -name "*.html" -exec ./fixit.py {} \;
[07:26] <bullgard4> KolakCC: Do you mean programs or files?
[07:26] <KolakCC> bullgard4: Both. :]
[07:26] <DJHenjin> anyone?
[07:27] <qin> KolakCC: locate program_name, or better, open synaptic and see "properities" for installed program.
[07:27] <yagoo> KolakCC, LFS
[07:27] <yagoo> !LFS
[07:27] <yagoo> ?
[07:27] <yagoo> thats' not what i meant
[07:27] <bullgard4> KolakCC: The programs go to their individual directories as directed in their individual packages.
[07:27] <yagoo> argh
[07:27] <qin> !fs
[07:27] <KolakCC> Ah, okay. Thanks all!
[07:27] <wildbat> DJHenjin: check dmesg / syslog ~ for details ~ not one know without info
[07:28] <strata_> I have a program that uses ALSA and i need it to be able to share access to the soundcard with pulseaudio. I tried wrapping it with padsp, but it still seems to get trumped by other apps such as banshee or chrome (on youtube). is there another workaround?
[07:28] <DJHenjin> how the hell am i supposed to do that if i cant access the filesystem because i cant boot, and my live cd keeps booting to terminal
[07:28] <yagoo> strata_, type grous <username>... user should be in audio gruop
[07:29] <lolcat> DJHenjin: Access the file system with your terminal?
[07:29] <DJHenjin> how
[07:29] <strata_> yagoo, will that make padsp actually do what it says it does in the manpage? :)
[07:29] <qin> KolakCC: dpkg -L package_name, from: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/show-the-list-of-installed-packages-on-ubuntu-or-debian/
[07:30] <janaka> hi i'm new to this
[07:30] <hkhkh> janaka: new to irc?
[07:30] <hkhkh> janaka: or ubuntu?
[07:31] <bullgard4> KolakCC: The DEB program packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/ .
[07:31] <hkhkh> KolakCC: what was your question?  is it involving where downloaded packages are store with apt?
[07:32] <KolakCC> hkhkh
[07:32] <KolakCC> fail.
[07:32] <KolakCC> hkhkh: I've got the answer I was looking for, thanks!
[07:32] <janaka> ///?????????????
[07:32] <hkhkh> KolakCC: k
[07:32] <qin> Sweet.

[07:32] <bullgard4> [Natty, Ubuntu Classic No Effects] Pressing the F12 key toggles the highlighting of the title bar of window  having the focus. How can I find out to what the F12 key  is bound? System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts does not list F12.
[07:32] <DJHenjin> then once i get the info, your going to what, pass me off to some webpage again?
[07:33] <uberfrau> wireless network adapter help, plox? :3
[07:33] <hkhkh> uberfrau: i can help you
[07:33] <qin> bullgard4: Whats sounds like compiz
[07:33] <xisi> after updating a system from 8.04 to 10.04 (clean) I cannot for the life of me get any form of nvidia drivers working whatsoever
[07:33] <qin> bullgard4: ccsm, and look through plugins
[07:34] <hkhkh> uberfrau: i just need to know what wireless adapter your using
[07:34] <bullgard4> qin: As I have said: "Compiz is switched off."
[07:34] <uberfrau> hkhkh: cool. so, i have the driver for my wireless network adapter set up and it can see two networks, but i can't connect
[07:34] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, script seems to be working... slow, but it appears to be running ok.
[07:34] <uberfrau> hkhkh: Linksys AE1000
[07:35] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: hopefully faster than doing it by hand :)
[07:35] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, perhaps if it wasn't ouputting a line to the terminal for every file, it would be quicker ;). yes. MUCH faster than manually editing
[07:35] <Kartagis> why can't I use tab switching by Ctrl+Page Up/Ctrl+Page Down in a VM?
[07:36] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, ok. it is done.. now to see if it worked....
[07:36] <hkhkh> uberfrau: download the xp driver from here:  http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/driver/AE1000_XP_3.1.2.0-WHQL.zip   then tell me when your done with that
[07:36] <CarlFK> bullgard4: what does F12 do? I am on natty and don't see it doing anything
[07:37] <uberfrau> hkhkh: i have the driver already, my adapter can see the networks, idk how to connect though :/
[07:38] <d_atharva> hi...how can I install Libre office on 10.10 ?
[07:38] <hkhkh> uberfrau: are you not able to connect to your local network or you don't know how to.  I mean that with no disrespect at all
[07:39] <uberfrau> hkhkh: i've never done it before, so it is probably the latter, and don't worry about it.
[07:39] <perko> hi all, when i select boot from cd on mac osx the ubuntu start menu doesnt show up. any ideas?
[07:39] <xisi> after bashing my head against this for hours, I cannot get this to work, the nvidia-current is "activated but not currently in use"
[07:39] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, bugger.. it didn't work :( - I just looked at 3 files at random, and the offending script is still there... going to look at your script again and make sure the string matches the one in my files....
[07:39] <hkhkh> uberfrau: what version of ubuntu are you using??
[07:40] <qin> xisi: Thats bug, already reported.
[07:40] <uberfrau> hkhkh: kubuntu 10.10 ;D
[07:40] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: hmm, I see a space at the start... that prolly shouldn't be there.
[07:40] <xisi> I'm aware it's already known
[07:40] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, I jsut saw that too...
[07:41] <hkhkh> uberfrau: hmm is there an icon on the bottom "task bar" on the right with a network icon??
[07:41] <wildbat> d_atharva: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ and download the deb and install
[07:41] <xisi> still can't get it functioning after doing every step on the wiki and then some
[07:41] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, is the "print" line the thing which is outputting to terminal? I will delete it if it serves no other function.
[07:41] <hkhkh> uberfrau: i might not be that much help, seeing that I don't use kde...but the same rules will apply between the two desktop environments
[07:42] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: correct.
[07:42] <d_atharva> wildbat : Do I have to remove open-office before installing libre ?
[07:42] <uberfrau> hkhkh: okay, and yes of course there's an icon ;o
[07:42] <wildbat> d_atharva: don't think so ~ package install will tell you if there is conflict
[07:42] <DJHenjin> okay ive got /dev/sda1 mounted, now what do i have to look at?
[07:42] <hkhkh> uberfrau: now right click it or left click it and see if there's a wireless option...sorry again...i'm guessing here 'cuz i don't use kde
[07:43] <Jordan_U> perko: You need the +mac iso.
[07:43] <perko> does anyone know why the ubuntu start menu would not show up when first booting from cd in mac osx?
[07:43] <freeman--> hey i know this may seem blasphemous but does anyone know how to install win xp from usb
[07:43] <perko> jordan-U: cheers, will download it
[07:44] <Jordan_U> !windows | freeman--
[07:44] <andycc> freeman--: #windows for assistance on your Redmondian issues.
[07:44] <qin> freeman--: There is good guide out there.
[07:45] <freeman--> qin, can you link me?
[07:45] <theCzar> dang it
[07:45] <freeman--> via pm i guess
[07:45] <bullgard4> CarlFK: If I am pressing F12 the title bar of the window which has the focus is highlighted. Or, if it is already highlighted, then the highlight is removed. (toggle function).
[07:45] <qin> freeman--: What will take a sec
[07:45] <d_atharva> wildbat :why is the exclamation sign given in front of version 3.4.0 ??? it it unstable ?
[07:45] <hkhkh> freeman--: search on the internets for a program called "WinToFlash"...which is a windows .exe
[07:45] <theCzar> it's been so long since I signed on I can't remember my nickname's password
[07:45] <hkhkh> cd
[07:45] <freeman--> hkhkh, thanks :D
[07:46] <uberfrau> hkhkh: it has 'manage network settings' as a possiblity, ofc i already got past that
[07:46] <DJHenjin> so umm....
[07:47] <CarlFK> bullgard4: huh, not here.  in FireFox f12 brings up firebug.  which I didn't know, so thanks :)
[07:47] <ser_> hola
[07:47] <uberfrau> hallo
[07:47] <wildbat> d_atharva: nope but it require better hardware and had some new feature
[07:48] <ser_> tengo un problema tengo una notebook con windows seven y ubuntu 11.04 y cuando inicia queda la pantalla en negro
[07:48] <Jordan_U> !es | ser_
[07:48] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, this looks promising - the file sizes of the files have reduced by about 500 bytes....
[07:48] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: woo
[07:48] <bullgard4> CarlFK: So I presume that there is a bug in my system. --  I will need to determine the keybinding of the F12 key. How can I determine it?
[07:48] <BlackDalek> CarlFK, it worked! hooray!
[07:49] <qin> theCzar: /j #freenode
[07:49] <DJHenjin> hola?
[07:49] <andycc> bullgard4: take a look at ccsm, maybe the Window Grouping (or what it was called) plugin.
[07:49] <theCzar> qin: what will that do?
[07:49] <CarlFK> bullgard4: no clue.  does it do it for all apps?
[07:50] <bullgard4> andycc: Compiz is switched off in my system.
[07:50] <BlackDalek> Thanks CarlFK . Bye all.
[07:50] <CarlFK> BlackDalek: woo woo.
[07:50] <qin> theCzar: Send to channel for general irc support of freenode (network you using now)
[07:50] <andycc> bullgard4: so you're using classic GNOME2 with Metacity?
[07:52] <bullgard4> CarlFK: Yes.

[07:52] <fatherjack> hi guys, how do i reinstall wlan card ? it wont find any wifi connections. I am using mint 10
[07:52] <bullgard4> andycc: Yes.
[07:52] <tensorpudding> !mint | fatherjack
[07:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> fatherjack: are you asking for wireless help?
[07:52] <DJHenjin> could someone please help me,
[07:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: what's the question
[07:53] <DJHenjin> my ubuntu 10.04 system boots and hardlocks as soon as Xserver starts
[07:53] <DJHenjin> wont accept any input and numlock wont respond
[07:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: have you generated a xorg.conf recently?
[07:53] <DJHenjin> ive booted to terminal on a liveCD and mounted the drive
[07:54] <DJHenjin> i dont dick around with stuff like that
[07:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: sounds like some happy chroot'in
[07:54] <DJHenjin> if it works it works
[07:54] <DJHenjin> it was an install from a customISO for EMC2
[07:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: have you tried to chroot and dpkg -P "the file"?
[07:55] <DJHenjin> what file?
[07:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: customISO for EMC2
[07:55] <Guest94150> hello, can u guide me in solving my issue? I am bot able to receive any audio signals from my PC to the speakers but my microphone works...I use ubuntu 10.04 and realtek AC97 is the audio controller
[07:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: package i meant
[07:56] <DJHenjin> its alerady been installed
[07:56] <DJHenjin> the install worked but now its not working
[07:56] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: you might have to either uninstall it or reinstall if you know for sure it's the problem
[07:56] <yagoo> Guest34771, is it digital out?
[07:56] <andycc> Us3r_Unfriendly: I think 'customISO for EMC2' means the custom Ubuntu .iso provided by the LinuxCNC project.
[07:56] <DJHenjin> Us3r_Unfriendly i dont know what the problem is
[07:57] <DJHenjin> thank you andycc
[07:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> andycc: i see, haven't heard of it.  In all honesty i'm an arch user but i like helping all linux users
[07:58] <DJHenjin> its a normal linux install just with EMC2 machine controller software already installed
[07:58] <DJHenjin> ubuntu 10.04
[07:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: andycc: so when xorg starts up that is when it crashes or freezes?
[07:58] <DJHenjin> as soon as it gets to the desktop, you know where theres applications and a wallpaper
[07:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> hmm
[07:59] <DJHenjin> oh and access to things like emc2
[07:59]  * DJHenjin is a native windows user needing to make the switch for a plotter im making
[08:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: I helped a guy kinda with the same problem.  His solution was xorg wasn't configured right on his machine.  I told him to generate a xorg.conf and reboot and it worked for him.  I wonder if it's the same problem
[08:00] <DJHenjin> how am i supposed to generate it from a live CD
[08:00] <andycc> !xorg | DJHenjin
[08:00] <DJHenjin> im in the root of /dev/sda1
[08:01] <Trond--> I have a HP Laserjet 1020 that worked fine earlier, but now it won't print anything. They are in my Document Print Status as Completed.
[08:01] <newb_ie> So anybody there using vlc on ubuntu 11.04
[08:02] <edwinkcw> I use freenx to a Ubuntu computer and use ffplay as player, how can I here the sound?
[08:02] <DJHenjin> oh great, now i have to take another ten minutes to reboot the livecd
[08:03] <andycc> edwinkcw: I don't think you can stream the sound from a remote computer through nx.
[08:03] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: mount the partition, chroot into that partition, cd /etc/X11/ and sudo Xorg -configure
[08:03] <newb_ie> So anybody there using vlc player on ubuntu 11.04.I ahve a problem with playing videos fullscreen
[08:03] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: i am, and i have no issue
[08:04] <jiltdil> my nvidia is activated but not in use it is showing how to fix it?
[08:04] <edwinkcw> andycc: so, is there any way to transfer the sound from server to client?
[08:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> jack
[08:04] <DJHenjin> chroot?
[08:04] <newb_ie> tensorpudding: any idea how to remove the panels while playing a video
[08:05] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: the panels shouldn't be an issue
[08:05] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: when you fullscreen, they'll go away
[08:05] <newb_ie> But mine doesnt go away
[08:05] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: how about instead of rebooting into the live cd, just reboot the machine without the Ubuntu cd and hold <shift> key while boot to get the grub screen.  see if there's a rescue option with a root shell
[08:06] <viderizeri> Umm
[08:06] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: did you fullscreen it?
[08:06] <newb_ie> tensorpudding: any solution to suggest?
[08:06] <DJHenjin> now leading me down another path
[08:06] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: it's not just maximizing
[08:06] <newb_ie> yes I did fullscreen it
[08:06] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: you have to double-click the video
[08:06] <viderizeri> bullgard4: I am now about to reboot to live usb I just made with tuxboot
[08:06] <newb_ie> tensorpudding: Yes I did
[08:07] <DJHenjin> hey would you look at that im in grub what now
[08:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: it's the same thing, just on different sides of the tracks
[08:07] <viderizeri> buulgard4, what is the name of the ubuntu partition?
[08:07] <DJHenjin> trying memtest
[08:07] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: and what happens?
[08:07] <bullgard4> viderizeri: Enjoy Ubuntu!
[08:08] <viderizeri> bullgard4: That is the name of the partition o.O
[08:08] <newb_ie> tensorpudding: The panels stay
[08:09] <newb_ie> tensorpudding: Is there any possibility that panels are configured always on top
[08:09] <johanhar> Hi. What arguments do I use in tar for a .zip that i want in a new folder?
[08:09] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: that's not possible
[08:09] <edwinkcw> is there any program that can record computer audio output?
[08:09] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: is there a rescue option with a root shell?
[08:09] <Jon--> Did a distribution upgrade on my laptop. Now, when I close the lid of my laptop (set action: suspend), I cannot resume without turning the power completely off. Ideas?
[08:09] <Us3r_Unfriendly> edwinkcw: audacity?
[08:10] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: it must be a bug then, but i'm not sure what
[08:10] <DJHenjin> Us3r_Unfriendly after i try this memtest, ill see, but i did not see any rescue option in grub
[08:10] <edwinkcw> Us3r_Unfriendly: let me check
[08:10] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: are you using unity or classic?
[08:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> edwinkcw: sudo apt-get install audacity
[08:10] <newb_ie> tensorpudding: I use classic
[08:11] <pankaj_sharma> Jon--, version?
[08:11] <edwinkcw> Us3r_Unfriendly: it can record what the computer plays?
[08:11] <tensorpudding> newb_ie: i don't know then, it works fine in unity for me
[08:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> edwinkcw: it does for me
[08:11] <DJHenjin> audacity is awesome
[08:11] <edwinkcw> Us3r_Unfriendly: thanks, let me try
[08:11] <viderizeri> I dintsee the option to boot from USB
[08:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> edwinkcw: BUT i had to configure pulse audio in order for it to work
[08:11] <viderizeri> o.O
[08:11] <newb_ie> tensorpudding: let me try in unity then
[08:11] <Trond--> Can someone help me with Ubuntu 11.04 and HP Deskjet 1020? It won't print out anything anymore.
[08:12] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: sudo ufw status verbose
[08:12] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: if firewall is operational
[08:13] <edwinkcw> Us3r_Unfriendly: oh..
[08:13] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, Status: inactive
[08:13] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: sorry i should have asked if it were a network printer or just a printer attached to your machine
[08:13] <DJHenjin> okay into grub  i see a recovery mode
[08:13] <edwinkcw> Us3r_Unfriendly: one more question, if I launch a music player remotely, will the computer play sound via speaker :)?
[08:14] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, it is attached to my machine
[08:14] <DJHenjin> booting it and seeing what it does
[08:14] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: does it offer a rescue in a root shell or anything like that?
[08:14] <DJHenjin> no just recovery mode
[08:14] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: first try to update the machine.  that's always first step in something not working, then from there we will continue
[08:15] <Us3r_Unfriendly> edwinkcw: it should
[08:15] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, I have auto-update for my Ubuntu so it is up to date
[08:15] <edwinkcw> Us3r_Unfriendly: then my friends near the server will be scared XD
[08:15] <Us3r_Unfriendly> edwinkcw: ssh is awesome for that
[08:16] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: sudo lsusb
[08:16] <edwinkcw> Us3r_Unfriendly: you mean ssh won't play the sound?
[08:17] <DJHenjin> now it seems to be stuck again
[08:17] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, Bus 002 Device 009: ID 03f0:2b17 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1020
[08:18] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, I just changed USB port before you asked
[08:18] <Trond--> incase that helped
[08:18] <Trond--> but it didnt
[08:18] <Us3r_Unfriendly> edwinkcw: nope, i mean connecting from your machine to someone elses through ssh to play something like:    find ~/Music/ -iname "*.mp3" -exec mplayer "{}" "+"      i find to be sometimes hillarious
[08:19] <wildbat> Us3r_Unfriendly: ot, lol ~ i thought you play spooky.mp3 xD
[08:20] <DJHenjin> Us3r_Unfriendly go to "Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48" then hung
[08:20] <DJHenjin> got to*
[08:20] <edwinkcw> Us3r_Unfriendly: haha
[08:20] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: try this first http://benaiah41.wordpress.com/2007/07/06/installing-a-hp-laserjet-1020-on-ubuntu-feisty/
[08:21] <Us3r_Unfriendly> oops wrong version of ubuntu
[08:22] <neuro_damage> what's the easiest way in natty to switch to the gnome-desktop and metacity wm, from the default that it's set to now?
[08:22] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, would there be any difference regarding OS version ? I could try
[08:22] <Jon--> pankaj_sharma, Sorry I missed your reply. My version is ubuntu 10.10.
[08:22] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: what's in your System>administration>printing
[08:23] <DJHenjin> do do do do do
[08:23] <Wisien> hi who can recommend me a 2d graphics program for ubuntu linux?
[08:23] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: yes, because of the software asked to install would be outdated and ubuntu has changed alot since feisty
[08:23] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: did you get there yet?
[08:24] <DJHenjin> it hung at what i said above
[08:25] <Jon--> Did a distribution upgrade on my laptop. Now, when I close the lid of my laptop (set action: suspend), I cannot resume without turning the power completely off. Ideas?
[08:25] <DJHenjin> its not even booting into recovery mode properly
[08:25] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, I'm using Norwegian translation in Ubuntu, and I don't see Administration in System, but I see my printer icon and user and groups icon,
[08:25] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Trond--: yes go to that
[08:25] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, which one? user and groups?
[08:25] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: is it a brand new install?
[08:25] <DJHenjin> was
[08:26] <DJHenjin> havent installed anything new on it
[08:26] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: where'd you get the iso of it?  from ubuntu's website?
[08:27] <DJHenjin> Us3r_Unfriendly i got it from EMC2's website, its a custom install ISO for ubuntu 10.04 with EMC2 pre installed
[08:28] <Trond--> Us3r_Unfriendly, I am the admin and I have all the hooks on
[08:29] <frogzoo> I can't get focus in Firefox inside of forms - eg. google
[08:30] <DJHenjin> Us3r_Unfriendly thers only 4 options in grub, ubuntu, ubuntu recovery mode, memtest and memtest serial console
[08:31] <Wisien> hi who can recommend me a 2d graphics program for ubuntu linux?
[08:31] <DJHenjin> google
[08:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> DJHenjin: ubuntu recovery is what i'm trying to push you towards
[08:31] <Wisien> google do not recommend
[08:32] <roryy> Wisien: maybe gimp or inkscape?
[08:32] <Wisien> is corel avaialable?
[08:32] <Wisien> corel photopaint
[08:33] <pksadiq> Wisien: for creating cartoons or CAD?
[08:33] <DJHenjin> ubuntu recovery isnt working either... like i said ten f** minutes ago
[08:33] <Wisien> editing 2d bitmaps
[08:34] <pksadiq> Wisien: Why not gimp?
[08:34]  * DJHenjin whistles
[08:35] <pksadiq> !gimp | Wisien
[08:35] <DJHenjin> i mean ill try recovery mode again but i doubt it will work
[08:36] <boomboorum> Just performed "apt-get distro-upgrade" (11.04 were installed before the upgrade operation). After restart nor unity dash nor the panel started. There is only deskto and icons on it. I were able to run terminal by creating with right click a launcher to terminal. And that is all what I have. (I am writing from different computer)
[08:36] <frogzoo> Wisien: open office, or kivio
[08:37] <pksadiq> boomboorum: running with Nvidia?
[08:37] <th^^> boomboorum: you should always use update manager to do updates in ubuntu
[08:37] <boomboorum> pksadiq:  no
[08:37] <DJHenjin> now im guessing that us3r_unfriendly is gone no ones going to help
[08:38] <boomboorum> th^^:  ipdate manager is slow and eats way to much resources
[08:38] <pksadiq> boomboorum: if you not get the side panel, that might be because you have not enabled compiz, do you get the classic ubuntu?
[08:38] <th^^> why on earth you'd care for resource usage during upgrade
[08:38] <tarzeau> is there a way to completely remove unity?
[08:38] <th^^> anyway, apt-get just updates packages, it doesn't know what really is needed for upgrade beyond that, like update-manager does
[08:39] <boomboorum> th^^:  because I have slow internet and that takes up some time. And I needed that computer to perform some other taks too
[08:39] <tarzeau> when i tried apt-get purge unitiy* it wanted to remove sooo much packages i got scared
[08:39] <tarzeau> can unity be customized for all users without touching users home directories?
[08:39] <Jon--> Did a distribution upgrade on my laptop. Now, when I close the lid of my laptop (set action: suspend), I cannot resume without turning the power completely off. Ideas?
[08:39] <tarzeau> Jon--: kernel something
[08:39] <boomboorum> th^^:  I didn't know about the differnces btw update manager and doing it with apt
[08:40] <pksadiq> tarzeau: I don't think its good to remove unity, you would better load the classic mode
[08:40] <tarzeau> pksadiq: the problem is we have 3000 users
[08:40] <tarzeau> pksadiq: and it's a pretty bad job to tell them each individually over a period of 6-12 months to do that
[08:40] <th^^> boomboorum: try removing ubuntu-desktop package and reinstalling it again, in case you're missing some new packages from ubuntu-desktop
[08:40] <tarzeau> pksadiq: so I think it's really good to remove unity
[08:41] <pksadiq> tarzeau: just once you select the classic mode, that will be your default session, so don't need to change it all the time
[08:41] <boomboorum> th^^: can I do that from terminal?
[08:41] <tarzeau> pksadiq: but you have to tell the 3000 users anyways
[08:41] <Jon--> tarzeau, 10.10  2.6.35-28-generic
[08:41] <th^^> boomboorum: yes, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:41] <tarzeau> pksadiq: ok linux on the desktop still sucks
[08:41] <tarzeau> thanks
[08:42] <th^^> boomboorum: also, you can run update-manage in terminal to do upgrades
[08:42] <tarzeau> i thought it'd get better some day, but it doesn't - goes back fighting grub2 config files with recordfail "feature"
[08:42] <th^^> boomboorum: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core (in case this is missing), then just sudo do-release-upgrade
[08:42] <boomboorum> th^^:  I did. It found two update for adobe flash
[08:42] <DJHenjin> am i going to get some help or should i just ditch linux and any further attemps to use linux
[08:42] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: You can just change the default session to classic.
[08:42] <tarzeau> DJHenjin: what's your problem?
[08:42] <pksadiq> DJHenjin: Why?
[08:43] <DJHenjin> ive explained it 3 times
[08:43] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: not for 3000 users, or how could i ddo that? can i say in etc all users have a default session of classic?
[08:43] <th^^> boomboorum: then the hardcore way to fix, i suspect it's something to do with settings in your profile dir
[08:43] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: What problem are you having with recordfail?
[08:43] <tarzeau> DJHenjin: then use mac os x again :)
[08:43] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:recordfail
[08:43] <DJHenjin> i boot ubuntu 10.04, as soon as it gets to the desktop (you know the part with the wallpaper) it hardlocks
[08:43] <boomboorum> th^^:  so should I just reinstal ubuntu-desktop?
[08:43] <th^^> boomboorum: do some temporary dir, mkdir ~/oldconfigs && mv ~/.* ~/oldconfigs
[08:43] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: we have about 300 workstations, and sometimes power fails, or linux/oom, people reboot and then it gets stuck
[08:43] <DJHenjin> tarzeau i dont use mac, only mac product i have is an iphone
[08:43] <th^^> then see if everything works
[08:44] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: we don't want to run after the workstations to get them booted
[08:44] <th^^> and copy those .setting dirs back from oldconfigs
[08:44] <tarzeau> DJHenjin: like me :)
[08:44] <DJHenjin> it will not respond to any kind of input and numlock isnt working
[08:44] <strata_> DJHenjin: what kind of hardware
[08:44] <DJHenjin> trying to boot into recovery mode freezes at "switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48"
[08:44] <adammw111> Hi, what's the main differences between the generic, server and virtual kernels, and the one's prefixed with "image"?
[08:44] <Trond--> Is Us3r_Undfriendly coming back?
[08:45] <Trond--> Can someone help me with Ubuntu 11.04 and HP Deskjet 1020? It won't print out anything anymore.
[08:45] <Jon--> Did a distribution upgrade on my laptop. Now, when I close the lid of my laptop (set action: suspend), I cannot resume without turning the power completely off. Ideas? Ubuntu 10.04 upgraded to 10.10, kernel is 2.6.35-28-generic
[08:45] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: Both of the solutions there are suboptimal IMHO. I would simply create a file /boot/grub/custom.cfg with "timeout=5" in it.
[08:45] <DJHenjin> MSI motherboard is all i know
[08:45] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: ack, that why i didn't just implement them
[08:46] <DJHenjin> it did work
[08:46] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: and that'd for sure override the recordfail timeouts of -1?
[08:46] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: Yes.
[08:46] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: do i need to run any grub command after i got that file?
[08:46] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: No.
[08:47] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: are you sure it's in /boot/grub and not in /etc/grub.d/??_custom?
[08:47] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: Yes.
[08:47] <strata_> DJHenjin: MSI motherboard is all you know ... but the problem you are describing sounds like video
[08:47] <DJHenjin> AMD Athlon 1100 MHz
[08:47] <strata_> DJHenjin: what video card?
[08:47] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: indeed i just found 41_custom sourcing $prefix/custom.cfg
[08:47] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: If you're using Ubuntu 10.04 you'll need to add the same to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then re-run update-grub.
[08:47] <DJHenjin> one minute
[08:47] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: i'm using natty 1104
[08:48] <tarzeau> we still have some 10.04 machines left, however i didn't noticed this problem on those
[08:48] <DJHenjin> radeon 7000 AGP
[08:48] <DJHenjin> brb
[08:48] <strata_> DJHenjin: does the machine have integrated video as well?
[08:49] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: I don't recommend setting timeout to zero that way though, as it will also override the check for the shift key being held down (you can also put a check for the shift key in /boot/grub/custom.cfg).
[08:49] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: thanks. i put 3 in it :)
[08:49] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: You're welcome.
[08:49] <Jon--> Did a distribution upgrade on my laptop. Now, when I close the lid of my laptop (set action: suspend), I cannot resume without turning the power completely off. Ideas? Ubuntu 10.04 upgraded to 10.10, kernel is 2.6.35-28-generic
[08:49] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: don't worry if something doesn't work we don't reboot, we reinstall (fully automatically)
[08:50] <DJHenjin> negative on the integrated video
[08:50] <accel_> does ubuntu help have a list somwehre wher I can tak emy output of lsusb "Bus 002 Device 009: ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2070 Wireless Adapter" and see if it's supported in 10.10 ?
[08:50] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: works! perfect. natty roll-out saved
[08:51] <boomboorum> I was able to start normal gnome panel
[08:51] <DJHenjin> strata_ no integrated video
[08:53]  * DJHenjin whistles casually yet again
[08:53] <k_sze> I have successfully mounted a USB mass storage as root manually. How do I make it so that non-root users are allowed to mount USB Mass Storage instances *of the same hardware model* whenever they need (manually, not automatically)?
[08:53] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: For the default session you can change the setting in system wide in gdmsetup. I don't know off hand what file that actually modifies or how (and any user can override this setting by selecting their own, non-default, session).
[08:53] <tonussi> hi every..
[08:53] <tarzeau> Jordan_U: really? that'd be big help! i'll try gdmsetup then
[08:53] <tonussi> good night ;)
[08:54] <strata_> DJHenjin: based on what you are describing. it sounds like the kernel build you are booting doesn't like your video card
[08:54] <strata_> DJHenjin: 11.04?
[08:54] <DJHenjin> it worked before
[08:55] <boomboorum> th^^:  I believe it is not a problem with gnome-desktop at all, because I started gnome-panel and everything works just fine but on gnome 2.  Is there a way to bring unity back?
[08:55] <DJHenjin> 10.04
[08:55] <wildbat> k_sze: gvfs should mount the USBs  automatically in gnome session
[08:55] <testadura> hi all
[08:55] <strata_> DJHenjin: and it stopped working after you did an update or something
[08:55] <strata_> ?
[08:55] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: /away away
[08:55] <DJHenjin> the emc2 site made it very clear that it was a bad idea to do a dist upgrade or update after install
[08:55] <Jordan_U> tarzeau: Sorry, that was obviously a mistake :)
[08:55] <DJHenjin> because it would break emc2
[08:56] <testadura> I have a question regarding USB: how can I 'revive' an USB device I prepared for manual remove without actually removing it and reattaching?
[08:56] <strata_> DJHenjin: hehehehehe :)
[08:56] <th^^> boomboorum: uhm, i don't have any guess here, sorry :)
[08:56] <Jon--> Did a distribution upgrade on my laptop. Now, when I close the lid of my laptop (set action: suspend), I cannot resume without turning the power completely off. Ideas? Ubuntu 10.04 upgraded to 10.10, kernel is 2.6.35-28-generic
[08:56] <k_sze> wildbat: I'm using Xubuntu Natty, and the USB was not mounted automatically.
[08:56] <testadura> I cannot find any update|refresh button in disk manager
[08:56] <DJHenjin> and i need to keep my emc2 config for my machine because its a custom built machine and i cant remember the pinout
[08:57] <boomboorum> th^^:  thanks anyways
[08:57] <strata_> DJHenjin: yea. you have older hardware. doing dist upgrades can be fatal :)
[08:57] <DJHenjin> not the computer... the bloody machine EMC2 is for controlling
[08:57] <guzu> hello all
[08:57] <wildbat> k_sze: never used Xfce ~ no idea ~ i know ubuntu,kubuntu,lubuntu do ~
[08:58] <guzu> how can i set the default os in grub?
[08:58] <iszak> I'm getting a bunch of unable to connect errors when trying to update.
[08:58] <DJHenjin> iszak plug the network cable in?
[08:58] <DJHenjin> lol
[08:58] <iszak> oh right, let me check!
[08:58] <strata_> DJHenjin: well. if it's a video prob, try hitting ctrl-alt-f1 repeatedly while you are booting i suppose
[08:58] <DJHenjin> tried that
[08:59] <DJHenjin> no dice
[08:59] <winterpk66> Anyone have a minute to me figure out why I can't get ubuntu to boot up on my external drive?
[08:59] <guzu> maybe just ESC ?
[08:59] <strata_> DJHenjin: can you get your data off the machine?
[08:59] <DJHenjin> not easily
[08:59] <strata_> DJHenjin: sounds like it's hosed :(
[09:00] <sindile> ping pitti
[09:01] <wildbat> winterpk66: most likely you don't have grub installed on the external drive ~ by default ~ install wizard install in on sda ( local hard drive)
[09:01] <winterpk66> after install I boot from external USB and get error: file not found. grub rescue>
[09:01] <DJHenjin> so?
[09:02] <DJHenjin> ctrl alt F1 did nothing
[09:02] <strata_> what about booting the old kernel?
[09:02] <Satchmo> join #debian
[09:02] <strata_> off the cd?
[09:02] <winterpk66> wildbat: yeah thats probably the reason.  So how the normal ubuntu install doesn't do that?
[09:02] <guzu> DJHenjin, ctrl-alt-f2?
[09:03] <accel_> uname -r = "2.6.35-22-server" . What is the eawiest way to switch to a desktop kernel? [I want to get wireless working.]
[09:03] <wildbat> winterpk66: it do have option to pick where you install the grub in the installation ~ you probably missed that and leave it the default one
[09:03] <wildbat> !grub2| winterpk66
[09:04] <wildbat> winterpk66: try to reinstall the grub to the USB drive
[09:05] <winterpk66> wildbad: ok so I'm installing from Ubuntu desktop 11.04.  I'll try reinstalling and look for the grub install option
[09:05] <DJHenjin> ctrl alt F2 nothing
[09:05] <DJHenjin> f3 nothing f4 nothing
[09:05] <DJHenjin> f5 nothing
[09:05] <DJHenjin> so on and so forth
[09:05] <guzu> DJHenjin, roger
[09:06] <guzu> is there a bot to query about boot/grub manager
[09:06] <guzu> ?
[09:06] <guzu> ah
[09:07] <guzu> ubottu, grub manager
[09:07] <guzu> ubottu, !grub manager
[09:07] <guzu> !grub manager
[09:07] <DJHenjin> anything else?
[09:08] <brown_fern> !brain
[09:09] <winterpk66> Wildbad: I'm not seeing an option in the install for grub
[09:10] <winterpk66> !grub2
[09:10] <DJHenjin> so yeah, i kinda have to keep my install, you know installed
[09:10] <DJHenjin> i could probably boot into my live cd and copy the entire thing to one of my usb thumbdrives
[09:11] <DJHenjin> like my entire install
[09:11] <XshoppyX> Hello all, I'm having a strange problem with Gwibber. The text field is not visible, not even grayed out.
[09:12] <DJHenjin> i would much rather fix it
[09:12] <crypticsquared> so i'm running the release version of 11.04 and having issues with the theme. when i launch terminal it's set to use system default for background etc but it's purple when i've changed the desktop background in gnome appearance... is this just an upgrade issue?
[09:13] <guzu> DJHenjin, recovery mode is available?
[09:13] <testadura> does anyone know how to re-poweron an usb device after safe removal without detaching and reattaching it?
[09:13] <boomboorum> I lost all my configs - proxy settings, chrome settings and other after upgrade
[09:13] <DJHenjin> is availiable but as ive said before fails to boot
[09:13] <boomboorum> is there any possibility to restore them
[09:13] <ghsh> testadura: mount
[09:13] <testadura> ghsh: does nothing at all
[09:13] <testadura> ghsh: the device is still power off
[09:14] <DJHenjin> booting recovery mode yet again
[09:14] <ghsh> testadura: mount /dev/sdbX /USB(name)
[09:14] <testadura> ghsh: if there isn't a refresh command or something like it, maybe some string to write in some file in /proc
[09:14] <guzu> DJHenjin, your problem is that once x is started, the thing freezes? (sorry, i was not here at the beginning)
[09:14] <DJHenjin> yeah
[09:14] <testadura> ghsh: the device doesn't exist anymore
[09:15] <testadura> ghsh: it is an internal card reader and i cannot detach-attach it
[09:15] <ghsh> testadura: ah write a hard inode or add it to fstab
[09:15] <testadura> ghsh: the device is just powered off
[09:16] <testadura> i cannot access anyway until the usb subsystem doesn't revive it
[09:16] <testadura> and i don't know the command to revive it
[09:16] <ghsh> testadura: ya I know all those ways should work -- even mount
[09:16] <jasl> Does it show up in lspci?
[09:16] <DJHenjin> it freezes when booting to recovery at "13.502907] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48"
[09:16] <testadura> ghsh: the ways you wrote can work _ONLY_ if the device is still powered on
[09:17] <ghsh> testadura: no
[09:17] <ghsh> testadura: not if there is a hard node
[09:17] <jasl> testadura: what make/model computer
[09:18] <testadura> jasl: no, but it is an usb device, i don't know if it should be shown in lspci too
[09:18] <kontagious2> i am using ubuntu live cd and gparted to format my netbook's hard drive. i delete the partitian and format to NTFS and then click the check box
[09:18] <jasl> External?
[09:18] <guzu> what was that
[09:18] <kontagious2> then i get a red exclamation point
[09:18] <kontagious2> theres no way it formatted that quick
[09:18] <testadura> jasl: internal usb, internal card reader actually
[09:19] <testadura> i safe removed the mounted SD without imaging that ubuntu would have removed ALL the card reader
[09:19] <ikonia> kontagious2: I'd not advise using linux to make NTFS file systems
[09:20] <kontagious2> i try making fat32 and it does the same thing
[09:20] <wildbat> kontagious2: it is quick format ~
[09:20] <kontagious2> not sure
[09:20] <ghsh> testadura: ok I may have it
[09:20] <wildbat> kontagious2: can you mount a use it ?
[09:20] <testadura> ghsh: ?
[09:20] <jasl> kontagious2: It's generally not a good idea to use linux to create NTFS. It's better to use Windows.
[09:20] <ghsh> testadura: why or how does the usb power off
[09:21] <kontagious2> jasl, im on a netbook with no cd rom
[09:21] <jasl> OK
[09:21] <ikonia> kontagious2: why do you need ntfs ?
[09:21] <DJHenjin> you can install windows from USB
[09:21] <DJHenjin> or run its installer
[09:21] <DJHenjin> or use a USB boot type formatter like DBAN
[09:22] <kontagious2> i cant install windows untill i format. it just gives me a black screen
[09:22] <DJHenjin> all of which im pretty sure i can assume is out of the scope of this channel
[09:22] <kontagious2> ive never had problems formatting with gparted for sure
[09:22] <ikonia> kontagious2: you can install windows - it has the ability to format as part of the installer, if that is not working there is a problem with your install routine which the guys in ##windows can help with
[09:22] <kontagious2> im not asking how to install windows im asking how to use gparted :)
[09:23] <ikonia> kontagious2: I strongly advise you not to use linux to create ntfs file systems
[09:23] <DJHenjin> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+use+gparted
[09:23] <kontagious2> ikonia, ok ill use fat32...
[09:23] <ikonia> DJHenjin: please don't throw out lmgtfy links
[09:23] <kontagious2> it gives me the same error trying to format
[09:23] <guzu> wildbat 's question is valid though
[09:24] <DJHenjin> so is mine...
[09:24] <bullgard4> [Natty, Ubuntu Classic No Effects] Pressing the F12 key toggles the highlighting of the title bar of window  having the focus. How can I find out to what the F12 key  is bound? System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts does not list F12.
[09:24] <ikonia> kontagious2: well, lets see, the windows installer isn't working, linux can't format it, is it perhaps possible it's a ahrdware issue ?
[09:24] <incorrect> i want to start a custom app at login, what is the best way to do this?
[09:24] <ikonia> bullgard4: it's a system binding
[09:24] <testadura> ghsh: ???
[09:24] <bullgard4> ikonia: Can you elaborate.
[09:24] <kontagious2> DJHenjin, ive used gparted many times. thanks for the link though buddy
[09:25] <ikonia> bullgard4: no
[09:25] <jasl> incorrect: put it in .bashrc
[09:25] <ghsh> incorrect: add it to dmrc
[09:25] <selinuxium> Hi all.. Encrypted home drive not mounting this morning... ecryptfs-mount-private does not challenge for a passphrase at CLI... Any ideas?
[09:26] <ghsh> testadura: well how does it stop working
[09:26] <incorrect> jasl, bashrc is executed when i log into the ui?
[09:26] <DJHenjin> soo umm, about my problem?
[09:26] <testadura> ghsh: because i safely removed the SD card
[09:26] <jasl> No, only when you bring up a terminal window.
[09:26] <jnlsnl_> How can I restart X, and will I loose any running applications ?
[09:26] <AdvoWork> I've got 2 ways of accessing files, one i do via smb://ip/FILES and one via /mnt/files   the /mnt files is created by doing //ip/files /mnt/files cifs guest in /etc/fstab. When i make a folder in smb.. it works fine, if i make one in mnt the folder gets locked. Any ideas please?
[09:27] <jasl> incorrect: what version of ubuntu?
[09:27] <kontagious2> wildbat, how do i set it to not quick format?
[09:28] <ghsh> yes so next time don't do that using the safely remove --- use umount -n (it' doesn't write to mtab) you can write in a shell script put it in /usr/bin then make an icon for it ---- TADA!!!!! Done
[09:29] <wildbat>  kontagious2 not possible and unnessary
[09:29] <ghsh> testadura: i did that with a wmodem back in 1998
[09:29] <jasl> incorrect: if Gnome, use .dmrc  Note the period.
[09:29] <winterpk66> !grub2
[09:29] <wildbat> kontagious2: not under linux
[09:29] <guzu> kontagious2, mkfs -t ntfs-3g <target device>
[09:29] <arunkumar413> hi, i'm using natty and title bar is missing. i cannot access the close,min and max buttons
[09:30] <guzu> kontagious2, or maybe just ntfs
[09:30] <winterpk66> Wildbad: stil gettting that 'error: file not found.' then a command line with 'grub rescue>'
[09:30] <DJHenjin> and im being ignored yet again
[09:30] <guzu> kontagious2, however, if you put the wrong device there, you have troubles (like losing data)
[09:31] <guzu> kontagious2, so be warned
[09:31] <jasl> DJHenjin: probably because no one has the answer.
[09:31] <kontagious2> mkfs.ntfs3g no such file or dir
[09:32] <kontagious2> ntfs-3g
[09:32] <kontagious2> the dash is there
[09:32] <guzu> then try ntfs
[09:32] <boomboorum> OK I am trying to install an app from ubuntu software center. When I press install the password window opens for about a second and the disappers, what could be the problem?
[09:32] <wildbat> kontagious2: as long as you can mount it and read/write ~ you are good to go~ the red exclaim just mean gparted check fs failed it don't mean the fs is no good  ~ it can be many reason ~ for details right click the partition -> properties  ,
[09:32] <ghsh> DJHenjin: what question

[09:33] <DJHenjin> fine ill just format the drive and reinstall losing all my work on my machine and get set behind 3 months trying to do the work again
[09:33] <kontagious2> guzu, seems to be working
[09:33] <guzu> ok
[09:33] <guzu> now you'll have to wait :)
[09:33] <guzu> kontagious2, ^
[09:33] <kontagious2> :)
[09:33] <ghsh> DJHenjin: what are you trying to do?
[09:34] <jasl> DJHenjin: before you do that, borrow a USB DVD device
[09:34] <DJHenjin> i have a DVD drive in the system currently
[09:34] <guzu> kontagious2, of course as a lot of guys already said it, the windows way is the preferred way for such things.. but you can use linux if you want
[09:34] <Palzieri> Hello to everybody
[09:34] <guzu> hi palmje
[09:34] <guzu> hi Palzieri
[09:35] <kontagious2> guzu, i realise that but its not possible to boot right now because xp wont boot from usb
[09:35] <Palzieri> I have got prob with my Huawey e179 internet key
[09:35] <kontagious2> guzu, i had the same problem a while ago but gparted worked back then (10.04) i think
[09:35] <guzu> kontagious2, there is a tutorial about custimizing your windows install disk to boot from usb
[09:35] <ikonia> kontagious2: if windows can't install to it and you can't format it with linux - does that not suggest there is a more serious (maybe hardare) problem
[09:35] <vatts> ohai
[09:35] <Palzieri> and all the forums online seem not to be a solution
[09:35] <kontagious2> guzu, i have the install usb beside me :)
[09:36] <guzu> kontagious2, already customized?
[09:36] <kontagious2> it was just a problem with gparted
[09:36] <Palzieri> Can anybody help??
[09:36] <jasl> DJHenjin: can you log in or is it stopping before that?
[09:36] <kontagious2> guzu, yeah, wintoflash
[09:36] <guzu> hmm
[09:36] <guzu> i don't know about that
[09:37] <winterpk66> I can't seem to get my external hard drive to boot ubuntu.  I keep getting this error 'error: file not found.' then a command line, 'grub recovery>'.  Is grub somehow not installing properly for me?
[09:37] <DJHenjin> jasl it freezes when it boots, as soon as it gets to the desktop (the part with the wallpaper and apps)
[09:38] <jasl> OK so you've successfully logged in, right?
[09:38] <kontagious2> ikonia, its possible although it was working perfectly before
[09:38] <ghsh> winterpk66:correct
[09:38] <vatts> I love my bed+
[09:38] <ikonia> kontagious2: but it's not now.....
[09:38] <winterpk66> ghsh: how can I get it installed?
[09:38] <kontagious2> ikonia, mkfs has no problem, i think it was gparted
[09:38] <vatts> where can i download the background from 8.04 which is on liveCD, i love it <3
[09:38] <DJHenjin> jasl i dont need to log in, i dont have a password set
[09:39] <ghsh> winterpk66:is grub on the main partion of the hard drive installed
[09:39] <winterpk66> ghsh: I have the LiveCD up now and mounted the external USB drive
[09:39] <jasl> DJHenjin: can you boot the recovery kernel?
[09:39] <DJHenjin> from grub?
[09:39] <jasl> DJHenjin Yes
[09:40] <DJHenjin> like ive said about 10 more times, no
[09:40] <ghsh> winterpk66: your in win i take
[09:40] <vatts>  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ - FAIL. grub> exit ......> error 27: unrecognized command. :D
[09:40] <jasl> DJHenjin same problem?
[09:40] <DJHenjin> it hangs when it gets to "switching buffer device to 128x48"
[09:40] <winterpk66> ghsh: No I'm running the ubuntu desktop 11.04 cd and mounted my external drive which I also installed 11.04 desktop on.  Its just not booting up for some reason.
[09:41] <shomon> hi, how do I get a php-pear package containing mail functionality? or find out about doing it?
[09:41] <ikonia> vatts: why are you posting that ?
[09:41] <vatts> ikonia, it's a fail
[09:41] <ikonia> vatts: what's a fail ?
[09:41] <vatts> grub doesn't know "exit" command. lol
[09:41] <ikonia> vatts: why is that funny
[09:41] <winterpk66> ghsh: I beleive that grub is installed on the main partition of the external drive.  Just doesn't seem to be working
[09:41] <ikonia> vatts: what is you problem/what are you having issues with ?
[09:42] <jasl> DJHenjin can you boot a recovery disk (CD)?
[09:42] <DJHenjin> i can boot a liveCD of the same distro
[09:42] <vatts> ikonia, because tons of users like me will click the exit button on terminal, but more users will facepalm like "What've i done wrong?!" ^
[09:42] <vatts> and no problems so far, got back to my ubuntu install, now adding lines for WinXP to get back in grub.
[09:43] <jasl> OK that's good.  Have you run fsck -f on the partitions?
[09:43] <DJHenjin> who?
[09:43] <jasl> You
[09:43] <ikonia> vatts: no-one is asking about that problem or having that problem so please don't post random links
[09:43] <vatts> ok.
[09:43] <DJHenjin> jasl, can you put my name in replies to me please,
[09:43] <jasl> DJHenjin Sorry
[09:44] <DJHenjin> jasl tis fine, let me get the live CD booted
[09:44] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. I have an ubuntu hardy server edition machine. How do I make sure that postgresql daemon starts after the network shares have been mounted? Now it starts before that, so after booting I have to restart postgresql to make it start properly, since it's data is located on a network share
[09:44] <vatts> Oops. what about now :s
[09:44] <ghsh> DJHenjin:i would say edit the grub file so it doesn't use that screen
[09:44] <DJHenjin> its the only screen
[09:44] <vatts> I got grub booting ubuntu again and now i get to login window and i can't select my name. *facepalm*
[09:45] <jasl> DJHenjin I think he means don't give it the option
[09:45] <ghsh> DJHenjin: no
[09:45] <DJHenjin> jasl i would say i only have one monitor and only 1 video card
[09:45] <DJHenjin> and not alot of patience left
[09:45] <vatts> reboot seemed to help.
[09:46] <jasl> DJHenjin bring up the grub menu and remove the vga=nnn on the kernel load line
[09:46] <DJHenjin> replace it with
[09:47] <jasl> DJHenjin: Mine looks like kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-32-generic root=UUID=3c3cfdeb-8f3e-4b2b-a519-9f6bc48a37d7 ro quiet splash vga=769
[09:47] <winterpk66> I can't seem to get my external hard drive to boot ubuntu.  I keep getting this error 'error: file not found.' then a command line, 'grub recovery>'.  So grub isn't working properly obviously, but how do I fix it?
[09:47] <jasl> DJHenjin don't replace it
[09:47] <wildbat> winterpk66:  reinstalled grub2 on it yet?
[09:47] <winterpk66> yeah
[09:47] <jasl> also remove the quiet and splash, maybe it's covering up an error message
[09:47] <DJHenjin> there is no vga=nnn
[09:48] <winterpk66> wildbad: I followed the link and resintalled grub2 but still getting that same error
[09:48] <wildbat> winterpk66: samething @@?
[09:48] <jasl> DJHenjin what uibuntu?
[09:48] <DJHenjin> 10.04
[09:48] <wildbat> winterpk66: are you booting the wrong drive ? checj boot sequence
[09:49] <winterpk66> wildbat: I have all other drives disconnected
[09:49] <DJHenjin> so try without quiet and splash
[09:49] <jasl> DJHenjin Sure
[09:49] <DJHenjin> and if something like an error comes up, what do i do to catch it
[09:49] <jasl> DJHenjin booting the recovery kernel.
[09:49] <ghsh> DJHenjin: then install lilo and F*&^* grup
[09:50] <ghsh> DJHenjin: then install lilo and F*&^* grub
[09:50] <ikonia> ghsh: drop the language please
[09:50] <silv3r_m00n> how to make the iso of a cd ?
[09:51] <jasl> DJHenjin if its bad enough, it'll stop otherwise try to remember it.  ctrl-s may stop it.
[09:51] <DJHenjin> 3 processes were ended
[09:51] <wmcinnis> hi iam working with the notify-osd the volume works fine but my brightness does not i cross ref it with the acpi set key file in /etc/acpi/events/asus-brightness-up and down but its not working still. another issue i have seen is that when i do my touchpad it will disable it but will not give me the OSD that it was disabled.
[09:51] <ghsh> silv3r_m00n: mkisofs
[09:51] <DJHenjin> then the splash screen came up
[09:51] <wildbat> winterpk66: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/  run it and pastebin your result
[09:52] <silv3r_m00n> ghsh: any gui tool ?
[09:52] <magnus_> is it possible to throttle the upstream bandwidth used by a ubuntu box? (without setting per-application throttle settings)
[09:52] <jasl> DJHenjin did you see a lot of outut?
[09:52] <DJHenjin> a ton
[09:52] <andycc> silv3r_m00n: see if Brasero has an option for that. Try searching for it using the Unity Dash (hit the Windows key or the Ubuntu button)
[09:52] <DJHenjin> something about udevtrigger and udevmonitor
[09:53] <jasl> DJHenjin OK what exactly does the kernel line in grub look like?
[09:53] <DJHenjin> 1 min
[09:53] <ghsh> silv3r_m00n: k3b or just write a script and make an icon :)
[09:54] <jasl> DJHenjin and you are running the recovery line, right?  The one with the word "single" on it?
[09:55] <nobita> hy all
[09:55] <DJHenjin> "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-122-rtai root=UUID=c79c1e2e-19b3-4c25-90f\e-2dfa6e947a35 ro single'
[09:56] <ghsh> DJHenjin: root=UID not UUID
[09:56] <DJHenjin> it says root=UUID
[09:56] <llutz> ghsh: UUID is right
[09:57] <jasl> DJHenjin UUID is right.
[09:57] <llutz> ghsh: UID = user-id, nonsense in this context
[09:57] <guzu> yeah
[09:58] <jasl> DJHenjin So you do get to a slash screen during the "single" boot?
[09:58] <DJHenjin> one min ill boot it
[09:58] <DJHenjin> on the single one, no i do not get a splash
[09:58] <Starminn> Instead of the usual Ubuntu notification bubble, I now have "notify-sharp", how can I get the bubbles back?
[09:59] <brown_fern> nobita: Hello, If you have a question perhaps someone here can help you with it. The #ubuntu-offtopic channel is good for general chat.
[09:59] <DJHenjin> only on the normal boot
[09:59] <jasl> DJHenjin OK but it fails settng the fram buffer?
[09:59] <DJHenjin> yeah
[10:00] <DJHenjin> "Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48" is where it stops in recovery mode
[10:02] <ManDay> Guys how the hell do I view hidden files in the ubuntu browser?
[10:03] <ManDay> it used to be possible to just check "show hidden files" where has this gone?
[10:03] <maalac> hi manday: go to view click on show hiddine files
[10:03] <jasl> DJHenjin try adding nomodeset on the command line
[10:03] <ManDay> view?
[10:03] <jenvy> ManDay, ctrl+h
[10:03] <ManDay> what is view?
[10:03] <ManDay> jenvy: thanks that worked
[10:03] <ManDay> still - what is "view"? there is no menu
[10:03] <winterpk66> Wildbat: ok I have the results of that script here: http://pastebin.com/F1pDc08n
[10:03] <DJHenjin> interesting, ill try it
[10:03] <ManDay> ah shit
[10:04] <ManDay> that new gnome shell is freaking weird
[10:04] <jasl> DJHenjin that should prevent it from setting the frame buffer
[10:04] <ManDay> the menu doesnt show unless i hover the mouse over the bar
[10:04] <DJHenjin> on which line?
[10:04] <DJHenjin> after ro single?
[10:05] <guzu> DJHenjin, anywhere
[10:05] <DJHenjin> trying it
[10:05] <DJHenjin> but that only fixes recovery mode if it works
[10:06] <DJHenjin> if it does work, would it also work on normal boot?
[10:06] <jenvy> are there actually statistics on how many people uses each version of ubuntu anywhere?..
[10:06] <guzu> DJHenjin, yes
[10:06] <jenvy> i'm wondering how many people are actually using 11.04.
[10:06] <DJHenjin> heres hoping
[10:06] <jasl> DJHenjin true but then we make some more permanent changes.
[10:06] <guzu> DJHenjin, and it "fixes" ist until reboot
[10:07] <DJHenjin> okay, just got a really weird green flash for a moment
[10:07] <jasl> DJHenjin if it doesn't affect X then we can add it to the boot line
[10:07] <DJHenjin> now its going to color fram buffer device 80x30
[10:07] <jasl> DJHenjin grub or grub2?
[10:08] <DJHenjin> 1.98 or something like that
[10:08] <winterpk66> Wildbat: did you get that link to my pastebin?
[10:08] <jasl> DJHenjin did it hang again?
[10:08] <DJHenjin> and hanging
[10:09] <silv3r_m00n> is this a good way to create iso cat /dev/cdrom > ~/test.iso  ?
[10:09] <llutz> silv3r_m00n: for data-disk, yes
[10:09] <DJHenjin> brb in about 3 minutes
[10:09] <silv3r_m00n> data-disk ?
[10:09] <llutz> silv3r_m00n: non video/audio
[10:10] <silv3r_m00n> what is a game cd ?
[10:10] <llutz> data
[10:10] <silv3r_m00n> what happens in video audio ?
[10:10] <silv3r_m00n> I mean if I use that command with video/audio cd ?
[10:10] <jasl> DJHenjin Try adding this vga=normal
[10:11] <llutz> silv3r_m00n: it "might" not work properly, depends on the disk
[10:11] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[10:11] <jasl> DJHenjin I'm shotgunning it I know but there's no perfect solution AFAIKT
[10:11] <DJHenjin> how am i supposed to know thats shotgunning it
[10:12] <silv3r_m00n> how to mount an iso ?
[10:12] <llutz> silv3r_m00n: sudo mount -o loop foo.iso /mnt
[10:13] <winterpk66> I can't seem to get my external hard drive to boot ubuntu.  I keep getting this error 'error: file not found.' then a command line, 'grub recovery>'.  So grub isn't working properly obviously.  I have this pastebin http://pastebin.com/F1pDc08n link which shows the results of boot info script I ran.  Could someone please help me figure out why I can't get grub to boot Ubuntu?
[10:13] <DJHenjin> booting yet again
[10:14] <jasl> DJHenjin Is that an Intel vid card by any chance?
[10:14] <DJHenjin> radeon
[10:14] <jasl> OK
[10:14] <silv3r_m00n> llutz: mounted but nothing happened ?
[10:14] <DJHenjin> same colorbuffer thins 128x48 but it didnt hang this time
[10:15] <llutz> silv3r_m00n: what do you expect to happen? ls -l /mnt
[10:15] <silv3r_m00n> it shows the contents of the iso
[10:15] <silv3r_m00n> ok
[10:16] <DJHenjin> then gets to 'scsi target2:0:0: Ending domain validation'
[10:16] <DJHenjin> and again, hangs
[10:16] <silv3r_m00n> llutz: thanks
[10:16] <sveinse> Hi. What does upowerd do?
[10:17] <sveinse> It steals my USB serial port right in front of me, so I'd like to disable it when I need the serial port
[10:17] <DJHenjin> googles itself to tell you its purpose is to google itself to tell you its purpose
[10:17] <jasl> DJHenjin well.  I'm stumped.
[10:18] <guzu> jasl, offline checking the /var/log/messages etc?
[10:18] <jasl> DJHenjin you can always save your home directory to DVD or USB stick and reinstall.  You wouldn't loose 3 months  of work
[10:18] <jasl> guzu Possible
[10:19] <sveinse> ok, let me rephrase: Can I stop upowerd without affecting something vital?
[10:19] <guzu> jasl, i don't know, what's the way to start ubuntu in 'single' mode?
[10:19] <jasl> guzu but the errors that are most likely are in the kernel buffer and without a terminal window you can see them.
[10:19] <DJHenjin> single in command line?
[10:19] <jasl> guzu DJHenjin yes
[10:20] <DJHenjin> which is in mine on recovery mode, but i have a wild idea, im going to try putting single into normal boot
[10:21] <Gwar> hey guys. Does anyone know if the issues with overclocked CPU's and Ubuntu 11.04 have been fixed? I like having a 4GHz processor (which was Prime95 24 hour stable on Windows) rather than a 2.66GHz processor :(
[10:22] <guzu> DJHenjin, if it doesn't work, you'll have to look at log files using a live cd, and/or passing more esoteric bootparams to the kernel
[10:23] <DJHenjin> i have a livecd i can boot to afterall,
[10:23] <DJHenjin> what if it does work?
[10:23] <jasl> DJHenjin also put acpi=off on the command line
[10:24] <jasl> DJHenjin If you can get booted we can then look at fixing it.  Whatever it is.
[10:25] <jasl> DJHenjin what happened to cause this?
[10:25] <DJHenjin> i dont know what happened that caused it,
[10:25] <DJHenjin> i rebooted a couple times after installing and boom no worky
[10:26] <jasl> DJHenjin So this is a new install?  Did you do an upgrade after install?
[10:26] <DJHenjin> no
[10:26] <jasl> How long ago did you install it?
[10:26] <DJHenjin> about 6 ish months
[10:26] <Zol> What's the best practice in terms of placing tars with source code as well as the extracted source code?
[10:27] <jasl> DJHenjin OK well we need to get into single user mode somehow.
[10:27] <Moopz> Hey. I was wondering, what do I need to do to get java working in chromium? I have --enable-plugins but it just says missing plugin whenever there's a java element and doesn't prompt me to install it. I have JRE6 installed.
[10:29] <DJHenjin> now its frozen on a blank screen
[10:29] <jasl> DJHenjin have you tried turning acpi off?
[10:29] <DJHenjin> just did
[10:29] <guzu> jasl, DJHenjin since i have no idea where the docs are in ubuntu, i'll propose this as starting points: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelDebugStrategy and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/Debugging
[10:30] <jasl> guzu good thinking
[10:30] <guzu> jasl, i've been through this before :)
[10:31] <jasl> Me too, but he's exhausted my "fixes"
[10:32] <maedox> Moopz: have you explicitly installed the java plugin?
[10:32] <maedox> Moopz: sun-java6-plugin
[10:32] <Moopz> maedox: probably not, but cannot seem to locate it. Is it in the repos? If so, what's the name?
[10:32] <DJHenjin> with just acpi=off none of the other modifications it seems like its booting but give it another minute
[10:33] <AFD> has anyone tried using Zoiper (softphone) on Ubuntu?
[10:33] <Moopz> maedox: Lets see if that works. Thanks for your help if I don't return.
[10:37] <DJHenjin> no dice
[10:37] <DJHenjin> wait a tick
[10:37] <AFD> I have a list of the codex that Zoiper is using - should I be looking for ALSA / PulseAudio etc in that list? (I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 by the way)
[10:37] <jasl> DJHenjin single?
[10:38] <DJHenjin> trying
[10:38] <DJHenjin> i seem to remember on one of my AMD computers i had to boot with noapic nolapic
[10:38] <jasl> single ro acpi=off nomodeset vga=normal
[10:38] <DJHenjin> ill give it a shot
[10:39] <DJHenjin> its already got ro single
[10:39] <jasl> DJHenjin and maybe nosplash
[10:39] <viderizeri> I just installed the newest version of ubuntu
[10:39] <viderizeri> I cant find the window effects anymore
[10:39] <viderizeri> :O
[10:40] <guzu> nosplash looks interesting
[10:41] <DJHenjin> booting
[10:44] <Arvigeus> Anyone worked with cpufreq-dev?
[10:44] <DJHenjin> seems to have hung again
[10:44] <Arvigeus> I need some help with userspace governor...
[10:45] <DJHenjin> oh come on, this has to work
[10:46] <jasl> DJHenjin vga=771 might be an option too.  Rather than vga=normal.
[10:47] <DJHenjin> reboot for the like 900000000th time
[10:47] <jasl> DJHenjin lol frustrating, I know
[10:47] <jasl> DJHenjin the last time, did it hang at a blank screen?
[10:47] <DJHenjin> no
[10:48] <garymc> Hi Peeps, we currently have an ubuntu LtSP server running in our office. they ahve several Thin clients running on it. I bring in my Sony VIAO and I connect the netwrok cable into the back of the Sony. But I just cant access the internet. why would this be?
[10:48] <jasl> What was the last error message?
[10:48] <udmurt> Hi! How to switch kayboard layout in X server (gnome-screensaver) from bash script?
[10:48] <garymc> I dont want to use the sony as a Thin Client by PXE booting, I just want internet connection for my laptop
[10:48] <DJHenjin> now i have to do it again to see
[10:49] <pksadiq> DJHenjin: I think its time for a fsck for your ubuntu partition
[10:49] <RossDoughty> cls
[10:49] <RossDoughty> hey all
[10:49] <DJHenjin> it has fsck'ed when it boots
[10:50] <jasl> DJHenjin  You may want to force it.
[10:50] <DJHenjin> with vga=771 its on a blank screen
[10:51] <jasl> DJHenjin OK as pksadiq said, boot live cd and fsck -f /dev/sxxx
[10:51] <pksadiq> DJHenjin: did you try vesa module for video?
[10:52] <viderizeri> I uninstalled
[10:52] <viderizeri> And installed ubuntu back
[10:52] <jasl> DJHenjin You could always add the kernel from your live CD.
[10:52] <viderizeri> Now I cant find Window Effects from anywhere
[10:52] <viderizeri> :/
[10:52] <guzu> pksadiq, how to pass xdriver=vesa nomodeset to grub?
[10:53] <zion_> i  hav never used xchat
[10:53] <pksadiq> guzu: try editing the xorg.conf file and change driver to "vesa"
[10:54] <zion_> exit
[10:54] <[tla]> hi.  i am in the middle of do-release-upgrade to natty on a remote server and lost my SSH session.  i can still connect to the remote server but the install had not finished (it was waiting at a question about a modified /etc/sysctl.conf when the connection was lost).  If i try and restart the do-release-upgrade it says "No new release found".  Is there some way I can continue the install?
[10:55] <jasl> You should have used screen
[10:55] <guzu> pksadiq, that works after we reach the point where xorg starts. DJHenjin seems to have problems before that
[10:56] <zion_> :)
[10:56] <DJHenjin> well this sucks, i just watched the last episode of the tv show i was watching and there are no new epps out
[10:56] <DJHenjin> damnit
[10:56] <jasl> DJHenjin do you have the live CD booted yet?
[10:57] <zion_> where are you from ,everybody?
[10:57] <guzu> like a lion in zion_ ?
[10:57] <DJHenjin> im trying the recovery boot again so i can get the last message which is 'scsi target2:0:0: Ending Domain Validation'
[10:58] <jasl> DJHenjin note any other likely messages.
[10:58] <DJHenjin> i cant see any other likely ones, they all seem normal
[10:58] <Jon--> In what version of VLC is the pulse audio memory leak addressed and fixed? I know I was having the problem back on 10.10, wondering if the repos have a new enough version now.
[11:00] <guzu> Jon--, try vlc changelog maybe
[11:00] <DJHenjin> [drm] Initialized radeon 1.32.0 20080528 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 0
[11:00] <viderizeri> Anyonke knows what happened to desktop effects?
[11:00] <viderizeri> ;_;
[11:00] <[tla]> jasl: so is it possible to continue the release upgrade or not?
[11:00] <DJHenjin> booting live CD
[11:00] <jasl> I don't know how.
[11:00] <zion_> bye bye
[11:00] <DJHenjin> any objections?
[11:01] <jasl> [tla] But next time use screen so you can reconnect.
[11:01] <viderizeri> When I open Appearance
[11:01] <viderizeri> there is onlt
[11:01] <viderizeri> "Themes"
[11:01] <DJHenjin> hmm, i have 2 scsi drives installed but only 1 is showing up
[11:01] <viderizeri> "Background"
[11:01] <viderizeri> and
[11:01] <FloodBot1> viderizeri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:01] <[tla]> jasl: hmm, not easy when server is 200 miles away.  it is vmware so i guess i should have used the console
[11:01] <viderizeri> "Fonts"
[11:02] <[tla]> oh for gentoo style emerge --resume
[11:02] <jasl> [tla]  do a man screen.  It's not hardware, it's software
[11:03] <pksadiq> viderizeri: you can enable effects by ALT+F2 and type compiz --replace    , if it causes error press ALT+F2 and type metacity --replace
[11:03] <jasl> screen is a very handy utility for doing long running processes that you don't want to loose.
[11:03] <jasl> lose
[11:04] <jasl> DJHenjin so maybe that's the problem?
[11:04] <[tla]> jasl: ah yes, i see it in apt-cache
[11:05] <Cube``> hey guise
[11:05] <Cube``> is there a quick n painless way to get usb tethering with an android device?
[11:05] <jasl> Using screen:  http://www.cae.tntech.edu/help/systems/unix/screen
[11:05] <jasl> Good writeup.
[11:06] <DJHenjin> this happened before the second drive failed to show up
[11:06] <DJHenjin> live CD almost booted
[11:06] <AdvoWork> I've got 2 ways of accessing files, one i do via smb://ip/FILES and one via /mnt/files   the /mnt files is created by doing //ip/files /mnt/files cifs guest in /etc/fstab. When i make a folder in smb.. it works fine, if i make one in mnt the folder gets locked. Any ideas please?
[11:07] <sveinse> how can I stop upowerd ?
[11:07] <guzu> service <srvcname> stop ?
[11:07] <andai> what's the package for sun java
[11:07] <DJHenjin> possibly by googling ?
[11:07] <guzu> sveinse, ^
[11:08] <pksadiq> !info default-jre
[11:08] <jasl> [tla] have you tried apt-get -f install
[11:08] <Cube``> cmoin guis
[11:08] <pksadiq> andai: its jre and to programm you need jdk, might be default-jdk
[11:08] <sveinse> upowerd is not a service, and several hits on google sais "its not possible to stop upowerd"
[11:08] <andai> pksadiq: Rather, how do i get sun-java ( people say it should be in the repositories but apt says no installation candidate )
[11:08] <jasl> [tla] that may kick the reconfigure off
[11:09] <ManDay_> ubuntu is getting one hell of a ressource hog, isnt it....
[11:09] <jasl> Didn't ubuntu stop supporting sun-java?
[11:09] <DJHenjin> sveinse have you thought that maybe its not possible to stop it then
[11:09] <pksadiq> andai: did you try    sudo apt-get install default-jre
[11:09] <andai> default-jre is already the newest version.
[11:09] <sveinse> DJHenjin: I need to stop it because of bug 798095
[11:09] <andai> chrome: MISSING PLUG-IN
[11:10] <DJHenjin> alright im into the liveCD
[11:10] <budovi> how i turn off using SWAP (i want to use only RAM)? i think it helps me runing ubuntu from USB device...
[11:11] <Tyrnis> plop all
[11:11] <jussi> !info icedtea6-plugin | andai
[11:11] <jasl> IcedTea is a Chrome plugin
[11:11] <DJHenjin> alright guys now what
[11:11] <jasl> fsck -f your partitions
[11:12] <DJHenjin> how?
[11:12] <pksadiq> andai: you might have to download the jre of sun from their website for linux
[11:12] <andai> pksadiq, jussi: thanks :) i got it no
[11:12] <andai> now
[11:13] <jasl> DJHenjin bring up a terminal window
[11:13] <DJHenjin> im in terminal
[11:13] <foob> If I have a package list suitable for dpkg --get-selections, how can I only download the packages?
[11:13] <DJHenjin> it booted directly to terminal
[11:13] <jasl> and type "fsck -f /dev/sdxxx
[11:13] <pksadiq> jasl: sudo !!
[11:13] <DJHenjin> xxx?
[11:13] <jasl> OK root user or not?
[11:14] <jasl> DJHenjin sudo fdisk -l to list your partitions
[11:14] <DJHenjin> probably not as root
[11:15] <jasl> DJHenjin then for each LINUX partition, not swap do fsck -f /dev/sdaN or whatever devices hold your partitions as listed by fdisk
[11:15] <Jon--> guzu, For future reference it's 1.10.0. I had to use ALSA output instead as the repos don't have that yet for Maverick. [VLC issue]
[11:15] <jasl> Or sudo fsck -f ...
[11:15] <DJHenjin> only have 1 linux partition
[11:15] <jasl> If you are not root
[11:15] <guzu> Jon--, thank you very much
[11:15] <DJHenjin> ill fsck it
[11:15] <jasl> DJHenjin yes
[11:15] <DJHenjin> fsck'ing
[11:16] <Kartagis> why do I get No username specified when I have this line in fstab? //campus01/mtozses		/mnt/t			  cifs	  credentials=/root/.mtozses 0	  0
[11:16] <Jon--> guzu, It's pretty bad, if VLC is left open long enough and not killed in time it will cause a system hang from memory leak :O. Damn pulse audio.
[11:17] <guzu> i still remember those leaks :)
[11:17] <DJHenjin> result '/dev/sda1: 149105/533280 files (0.2% non-contiguous), 713629/2132736 blocks'
[11:17] <guzu> yeah
[11:17] <guzu> the road to hell it's paved with good intentions
[11:17] <jasl> OK did it print 5 passes?
[11:17] <DJHenjin> yes
[11:17] <jasl> DJHenjin ^
[11:17] <jasl> OK
[11:17] <nomad111> hey all is it possible to disable gnome keyring in natty system-wide?
[11:17] <jasl> No errors fixed?
[11:18] <DJHenjin> no mention of errors at all
[11:18] <pksadiq> DJHenjin: now I think its better to edit the grub entry to boot into CLI mode as default
[11:18] <Prophet_DP> Hi all, since of yesterday I'm having a huge CPU usage by Compiz
[11:18] <nomad111> i am trying to create an ubuntu machine for my parents and they can't remember passwords for anything :)
[11:18] <Prophet_DP> in Natty
[11:18] <jasl> DJHenjin Good or maybe not.
[11:18] <DJHenjin> well lets figure it out
[11:18] <nomad111> !keyring
[11:18] <iceroot> nomad111: set an empty password for the keyring-manager
[11:18] <jasl> DJHenjin do a uname -a to see what kernel you're running
[11:19] <nomad111> cool thanks
[11:19] <stephenh> hello
[11:19] <iceroot> nomad111: but remeber, an empty password makes every passwords stored in keyring readable
[11:19] <DJHenjin> 2.6.32-122-rtai
[11:19] <stephenh> hello.  what is the best way to get gnome-shell onto ubuntu 11.04?  i tried adding the gnome3-team/gnome3 ppa as described on a few sites but got a broken install..
[11:19] <jasl> DJHenjin That's a short kernel name
[11:19] <Jon--> Is there some sort of package explorer that can be used? Give it a repository, browse packages on that repository? [something like apt-cache policy, but for repos not in etc/apt/*]
[11:19] <pksadiq> !gnome3 | stephenh
[11:20] <nomad111> iceroot, sigh... i want to avoid that as well
[11:20] <jasl> DJHenjin mount the linux partition
[11:20] <stephenh> yes yes , i know that :-)
[11:20] <DJHenjin> #rtai SMP tue jul 27 12:44:07 CDT 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:20] <iceroot> nomad111: set the keyring password to the userpassword and disable auto-login
[11:20] <jasl> DJHenjin let's maybe copy this kernel to your boot directory
[11:20] <DJHenjin> to /mnt ?
[11:20] <iceroot> nomad111: then keyring is only openend when the user is logged in
[11:20] <jasl> DJHenjin anywhere
[11:21] <DJHenjin> mounted
[11:21] <[tla]> jasl: it seems the secret is "dpkg --configure -a"
[11:21] <nomad111> ill try it out
[11:21] <DJHenjin> k mounted and cd'ed to it
[11:22] <jasl> DJHenjin do an ls /boot to see if your kernel is there from the CD
[11:22] <DJHenjin> which would it be?
[11:22] <jasl> DJHenjin whatever the uname gave you
[11:22] <DJHenjin> theres an abi config initrd system.map vmcoreinfo and vmlinuz
[11:22] <sveinse> If I have edited an udev rule, what should I do to reload it?
[11:23] <pksadiq> DJHenjin: also try chrooting to the Ubuntu path and do dpkg --configure -a        and apt-get install -f          (hope its good)
[11:23] <DJHenjin> pksadiq how?
[11:23] <jasl> DJHenjin chroot /mnt
[11:23] <DJHenjin> chrooted
[11:24] <jasl> DJHenjin type the dpkg command first
[11:24] <DJHenjin> done, and its doing some things
[11:24] <jasl> DJHenjin you might have to mount proc and dev before it works right.
[11:24] <guzu> binding, right
[11:25] <DJHenjin> a bunch of setting up and processing
[11:25] <jasl> That's nice.

[11:27] <Guest88547> ?=
[11:27] <pksadiq> !find aircrack
[11:27] <Jon--> If you're looking for aircrack-ng
[11:27] <Guest88547> i already have it
[11:27] <Jon--> It is in the repositories
[11:27] <Guest88547> but i cannot start the grafic panel with buc without aircrack.mc
[11:27] <DJHenjin> setting up libc-dev-bin (2.11.1-0ubuntu7.5) ... \n Processing triggers for software-center ...

[11:28] <Guest88547> sorry but i don't have understand i'm italian so my english is really bad
[11:28] <Guest88547> what i have to do
[11:28] <DJHenjin> still not back
[11:28] <Guest88547> to get aircrack.mc ?
[11:28] <Jon--> I recommend learning to do it from the command line, it's not that difficult.
[11:28] <jasl> DJHenjin ^C
[11:28] <Guest88547> i can do it by command line
[11:28] <DJHenjin> isnt it ^z
[11:28] <Guest88547> but i don't know hot to take a look when my card i s in monitor mode
[11:29] <Guest88547> at the router around
[11:29] <Jon--> airodump-ng
[11:29] <jasl> DJHenjin if you want to background it but I suspect it's hung
[11:29] <Guest88547> wait i try a sekon
[11:29] <Jon--> Nope
[11:29] <Jon--> Wrong one
[11:29] <guzu> Guest88547, try backtrack
[11:29] <Guest88547> i have to know the mac address and the port of the router
[11:29] <Jon--> I don't want to test it it will kill my internet
[11:29] <DJHenjin> control z stopped it
[11:29] <Guest88547> but i already have back track on my ubuntu
[11:29] <guzu> Guest88547, nmap?
[11:29] <Guest88547> or ihavge to install it
[11:29] <jasl> DJHenjin but now you can't run apt-get
[11:30] <Jon--> Yeah, it's airmon-ng to view access points and clients nearby.
[11:30] <Jon--> excuse me, airodump*
[11:30] <jasl> DJHenjin 'cause your backgrounded job is hanging on to the lock
[11:30] <Jon--> Step 1) airmon-ng wlan0 start
[11:30] <Jon--> Should start an interface mon0 to use for monitoring.
[11:30] <DJHenjin> its not backgrounded its stopped
[11:30] <Jon--> Step 2) airodump-ng mon0
[11:30] <jasl> DJHenjin so fg and ^C
[11:30] <Jon--> On your own from there.
[11:30] <DJHenjin> fg?
[11:31] <viderizeri> http://i52.tinypic.com/1z2n6yr.png
[11:31] <viderizeri> No tab for window effects
[11:31] <viderizeri> ;_;
[11:31] <jasl> DJHenjin foreground,  it's
[11:31] <DJHenjin> fg and it seems to be doing alot more
[11:31] <Jon--> BackTrack is a Linux distribution meant for security and penetration testing. You may want to consider checking it out.
[11:31] <jasl> DJHenjin just type fg <enter> and then ^C
[11:31] <DJHenjin> it seems to have unhung
[11:32] <Guest88547> ho to dnlwoad
[11:32] <Guest88547> back track
[11:32] <Kartagis> why do I get No username specified when I have this line in fstab? //campus01/mtozses		/mnt/t			  cifs	  credentials=/root/.mtozses 0	  0
[11:32] <Guest88547> hot to find back track ?
[11:32] <DJHenjin> google
[11:32] <Jon--> Guest88547, Google is your friend...
[11:32] <pksadiq> !backtrack
[11:33] <Guest88547> holy shit
[11:33] <DJHenjin> jasl since fg its gotten further
[11:33] <Guest88547> but isn't impossibile to find aircrack.mc
[11:33] <LjL> Guest88547: language please
[11:33] <jasl> DJHenjin Good
[11:33] <Guest88547> sorry
[11:33] <Guest88547> ljl
[11:33] <m_fulder> hey .. I've made a Virtualhost like this in my httpd.conf:  <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.deltalans.se DocumentRoot /var/www/mySite </VirutalHost> .. now why is my external IP forwarded to this ServarName :O?
[11:33] <LjL> Guest88547: please ask in #backtrack-linux - this channel only supports Ubuntu
[11:34] <DJHenjin> now it seems to have paused on starting common unix printing system
[11:34] <Jon--> LjL, He is using Ubuntu. We recommended BackTrack to him.
[11:34] <LjL> oh
[11:34] <Jon--> Sleepy time. Night.
[11:34] <DJHenjin> getting further
[11:34] <guzu> night Jon--
[11:34] <Kartagis> m_fulder, do you mean how?
[11:35] <Guest88547> can you tell me how i can download backtrack
[11:35] <Guest88547> ?
[11:35] <Guest88547> please
[11:35] <DJHenjin> Guest88547 google it
[11:35] <Guest88547> ok thanks to all
[11:35] <Guest88547> have a nice da y
[11:35] <DJHenjin> 'backtrack 4 download'
[11:35] <jasl> or join the #backtrack channel
[11:35] <m_fulder> Kardos, no .. why? :P I don't want it to be forwarded to that address ^
[11:36] <DJHenjin> generating locales
[11:36] <m_fulder> Kartagis, isn't it because of the <VirtualHost *> line? .. that every IP/port when come in to this server is forwarded to this ServerName?
[11:38] <DJHenjin> how long does this command take?
[11:38] <jasl> DJHenjin a while
[11:38] <DJHenjin> estimate?
[11:39] <jasl> DJHenjin generating locales maybe 2-3 minutes
[11:39] <DJHenjin> the entire thing...
[11:39] <DJHenjin> locales is just a portion of it
[11:39] <DJHenjin> also, what exactly does it do?
[11:39] <jasl> DJHenjin I haven't done it for  a while so I can't say for sure, but it's not a short process.
[11:39] <jasl> DJHenjin it reconfigures all of your software
[11:40] <jasl> DJHenjin or all that's manged by the deb system.
[11:40] <[tla]> hmm, odd problem: /home is not mounted at boot time and yet "sudo mount /home" works fine after the system is up.  any ideas?
[11:40] <DJHenjin> obviously would take longer on a 1.1GHz system
[11:41] <pksadiq> DJHenjin: not all, but all unconfigured will be configured
[11:41] <jasl> what's the /etc/fsck entry look like?
[11:41] <DJHenjin> how am i supposed to check that?
[11:41] <[tla]> jasl: uuid=blah /home ext4 noauto,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
[11:42] <jasl> OK take out the noauto
[11:42] <traskers> What's the safest way to go about remove the getdeb repository (it's not a PPA..) and downgrading my packages back to Natty?
[11:42] <jasl> DJHenjin msg waf for tla
[11:42] <jasl> was
[11:42] <DJHenjin> lol
[11:42] <DJHenjin> still generating locales
[11:43] <jasl> It's wild that you have so many packages that were not configured.
[11:43] <kubanc> where do i change in gconf-editor default port (5900) for remote desktop
[11:44] <DJHenjin> could the config files have been removed somehow?
[11:44] <DJHenjin> or could they have not been configured in the first place properly?
[11:44] <jasl> DJHenjin The second answer is more likely
[11:44] <DJHenjin> interesting idea
[11:45] <jasl> Reconfigure  an  unpacked  package.  If  -a or --pending is given instead of package, all
[11:45] <jasl>               unpacked but unconfigured packages are configured.
[11:45] <[tla]> jasl: good spot, works fine now and the upgrade completed successfully too :D Thx for the help :)
[11:45] <jasl> Glad it worked.
[11:46] <jasl> DJHenjin still localeing?
[11:46] <DJHenjin> yeah
[11:46] <DJHenjin> its on to france
[11:46] <viderizeri> Anyone who would like to help me with http://i52.tinypic.com/1z2n6yr.png Window effects missing, PM me I think this chan is too active.

[11:48] <sattu94> viderizeri: do you mean the compiz wobbly windows and stuff ?
[11:48] <pksadiq> !ccsm
[11:48] <DJHenjin> jasl why ask if its a laptop?
[11:48] <jasl> DJHenjin just curious
[11:49] <DJHenjin> just finished locales
[11:49] <leslie> it happens to be admin user
[11:49] <DJHenjin> its an older desktop that i had to kinda hack together to run a vinyl cutter / plotter
[11:49] <jasl> DJHenjin saw some issues with lapttops like yours.
[11:49] <jasl> leslie do you have another user on the system with sudo permission?
[11:50] <viderizeri> 3:48:32  sattu94: viderizeri: do you mean the compiz wobbly windows and stuff ?
[11:50] <leslie> sudo premison?
[11:50] <viderizeri> Yeah
[11:50] <magnetron> hi, i'm formatting a laptop with 50GB hdd and i'm going for a physical /boot partition with the rest done through LVM. what's a *reasonable* /boot partition size?
[11:50] <viderizeri> I meant the wobbly windows
[11:50] <pksadiq> !ccsm | viderizeri
[11:50] <jasl> leslie OK do you have another user other than "admin" that you know the password for?
[11:51] <leslie> i havent made one so i spose i should reformat?
[11:51] <jasl> nono
[11:52] <jasl> leslie, simple reboot into recovery kernel and change the password for the admin user
[11:52] <DJHenjin> alright i have the prompt back
[11:52] <jasl> When you boot the recovery kernel you will become the root user.
[11:52] <Da|Mummy> we dont like unity
[11:52] <Da|Mummy> change it
[11:53] <leslie> ok so what button on log up or do i use usb start up?
[11:53] <jasl> DJHenjin now you can run the apt-get install -f
[11:53] <DJHenjin> only if its connected to the internet
[11:53] <jasl> leslie what version of ubuntu?
[11:53] <leslie> 11.04
[11:53] <klingelbart> i can't log into my icq-account with empathy. it reads "network error". maybe wrong port? can anybody help me?
[11:53] <jasl> leslie on boot you do not see the grub menu, right?
[11:54] <DJHenjin> jasl wouldnt i need to be connected to the internet?
[11:54] <leslie> no as i deleted windows
[11:54] <jasl> DJHenjin try it
[11:54] <DJHenjin> without the internet?
[11:55] <bullgard4> [Natty, Ubuntu Classic No Effects] Pressing the F12 key toggles the highlighting of the title bar of window  having the focus. How can I find out to what the F12 key  is bound? System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts does not list F12.
[11:55] <jasl> leslie reboot your system and hold the left shift key down
[11:55] <jasl> leslie that will show you the grub menu
[11:55] <leslie> ok thanks ill brb if works
[11:55] <jasl> leslie use the down arrow to boot the recovery kernel.
[11:55] <jasl> DJHenjin it can't hurt anything
[11:56] <jasl> DJHenjin depending on what it finds it might clean something up
[11:56] <DJHenjin> unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[11:56] <VxQe> Hey, my 11.04 install wont boot up anymore, the last thing I get is winbind starting up and then it just does nothing.
[11:56] <DJHenjin> needs i net
[11:56] <jasl> DJHenjin no without the network it's not going to work
[11:56] <nightcrow> hi
[11:57] <ine> hi
[11:57] <DJHenjin> time to plug the damn cable in
[11:57] <nightcrow> i was wondering if someone can help me a bit with an alternative to rsync
[11:57] <nightcrow> im trying to do this:
[11:57] <jasl> DJHenjin the dpkg might have fixed it.  It's worth a try to reboot one more time.
[11:57] <ine> how to do ddos attack ?
[11:57] <nightcrow> rsync -vzaP root@1.1.1.1:/home/testdir/ root@2.2.2.2:/home/testdir
[11:57] <DJHenjin> shouldnt i get internet connected and try the last command again?
[11:57] <nightcrow> but obviously that wont work
[11:58] <jasl> Nope
[11:58] <jasl> You didn't have it plugged in
[11:58] <nightcrow> since both elements cant be remote, i was wondering if anyone knew of a way to do that?
[11:58] <DJHenjin> ine you arent serious are you?
[11:58] <DJHenjin> no i didnt jasl
[11:58] <jasl> so you don't have a network configuration
[11:58] <nightcrow> DJHenjin: ignore him
[11:58] <nightcrow> DJHenjin: seriously, how to ddos?
[11:58] <DJHenjin> i plugged the cable in, shouldnt that have gotten it setup?
[11:58] <jasl> DJHenjin you could get out of chroot
[11:59] <jasl> DJHenjin and try to start networking after plugging the cable in.
[11:59] <DJHenjin> well just plugging it in worked...
[11:59] <jasl> DJHenjin but you might have to bind proc and dev.
[11:59] <jasl> DJHenjin really?  I'm surprised
[11:59] <jasl> DJHenjin the apt-get worked?
[12:00] <nightcrow> guys, any idea re: my rsync problem
[12:00] <DJHenjin> well i got openpty failed a couple times and its still working
[12:00] <viderizeri> Wow
[12:00] <viderizeri> compiz sure is cool
[12:00] <nightcrow> im trying to do: 'rsync -vzaP root@1.1.1.1:/home/testdir/ root@2.2.2.2:/home/testdir' also, im trying to do it from 3.3.3.3
[12:00] <m_fulder> Kartagis, yeah I think I understand it now .. in *:80 <-  the * could be any IP and that's what's forwarded .. so now I've made 3 different virtualhosts first I have <....ExternalIp>   then I want <....mysite.com:80> ... and last one is <....*:80
[12:00] <leslie> hey nothing seamed to come up from holding left shift
[12:01] <nightcrow> obviously this isnt possible with rsync, but im wondering if anyone knew of an alternative
[12:01] <jasl> nightcrow I think you have to be on one or the other of the systems to do that.
[12:01] <nightcrow> jasl: you are right
[12:01] <m_fulder> Kardos,  though the musite.com:80 VH seems not to work :S
[12:01] <DJHenjin> cronjob
[12:01] <jasl> nightcrow you could ssh
[12:01] <nightcrow> but im looking to do it from a remote server in my example the 3.3.3.3 server
[12:01] <nightcrow> trying to avoid that ssh step
[12:01] <DJHenjin> SSH
[12:01] <jasl> nightcrow why?
[12:02] <nightcrow> was hoping rsync (or an alternative) would perform that for me
[12:02] <DJHenjin> you could write a script that SSH's in and does it automatically
[12:02] <amr> maybe not the right place to ask, but worth a shot. i've just upgraded to 11.04 and trying to use thudnerbird as my default email client. i've installed the unity addons, and changed it to be my default email app, but the messaging menu still uses evolution
[12:02] <d3vic3> just out of this world : http://www.vertigo-game.com/
[12:02] <d3vic3> let me know your score @ #vertigo ;)
[12:02] <nightcrow> jasl: because its for people that dont know how to ssh :)
[12:02] <nightcrow> two steps is too much for them :)
[12:02] <jasl> Only have to do it in one step
[12:02] <DJHenjin> jwrite a script
[12:02] <nightcrow> i just want them to run a script. rsync.sh and then it will perform that
[12:02] <leslie> jasl would u be alble to deflut pasword for me by remote assist?
[12:02] <nightcrow> DJHenjin: not sure what to add in the script
[12:02] <DJHenjin> a script can easily made to login to SSH and do
[12:03] <Galvatron> VxQe: When system loads X, ummediately get back to the konsole mode with Atl + F1 and chceck the errors.
[12:03] <jasl> ssh 1.1.1 rsync localdirectory 2.2.2:/remotedirectory
[12:03] <nightcrow> jasl: thats it?
[12:03] <leslie> omg my typing is bad i'm sorry
[12:03] <jasl> leslie no I don't think so
[12:04] <DJHenjin> jasl still waiting on the apt-get to work its magic
[12:04] <jasl> leslie one command "passwd admin"
[12:04] <DJHenjin> got 'WARNING:root:Failed to setup dbus (ignoring) again
[12:04] <Gwar> Does anyone know if the issues with overclocked CPU's and Ubuntu 11.04 have been fixed? I like having a 4GHz processor (which was Prime95 24 hour stable on Windows) rather than a 2.66GHz processor :(
[12:04] <jasl> leslie it'll ask you for the new password.
[12:04] <nightcrow> jasl: how do i kill the ssh session once the rsync has completed?
[12:04] <leslie> ok ill try again i held shift (left) from start up
[12:04] <jasl> nightcrow don't have to
[12:05] <nightcrow> ok
[12:05] <nightcrow> not even 'exit'?
[12:05] <VxQe> Gwar: Not suer what you mean, but my overclock is fine on ubuntu.
[12:05] <jasl> nightcrow ssh <command> doesn't log into the remote server, just runs a command
[12:05] <nightcrow> hmnmm
[12:05] <nightcrow> ok
[12:05] <jasl> ssh 1.1.1.1 logs in
[12:05] <nightcrow> one sec jasl
[12:05] <pksadiq> jasl: Why are you not registered ? :O
[12:05] <nightcrow> this is what i have in my .sh file
[12:06] <Gwar> VxQe: With Ubuntu 11.04, my system locks up if I overclock
[12:06] <jasl> ssh 1.1.1.1 ls runs ls
[12:06] <nightcrow> jasl: line 1) ssh root@1.1.1.1
[12:06] <Gwar> while on 10.04 it doesn't
[12:06] <jasl> pksadiq I think I am
[12:06] <nightcrow> jasl: line 2) rsync /local/ root@2.2.2.2:/remote
[12:06] <nightcrow> is that all?
[12:06] <jasl> I changed my nick
[12:06] <leslie> jasl now on my log in screen it had a drop tab for recovry is that the place where i use this command?
[12:06] <DJHenjin> jasl if this works it should work permanently right?
[12:07] <jasl> leslie drop tab?
[12:07] <DJHenjin> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)         <-- jasl
[12:07] <jasl> DJHenjin yes
[12:07] <nightcrow> jasl: do you think those two lines are enough?
[12:07] <pksadiq> jasl : /msg nickserv info jasl says not registered
[12:07] <leslie> where u choose ubuntu classic etc
[12:08] <jasl> pksadiq try JimXL
[12:08] <jasl> leslie does the down arrow move from selection to selection?
[12:08] <DJHenjin> okay now to try a reboot, how do i unchroot an reboot properly
[12:08] <Goliath> hey
[12:08] <jasl> nightcrow only need one line
[12:08] <leslie> yea it does
[12:08] <Goliath> is this package available to 11.04 ubuntu? http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/sql-editor
[12:08] <jasl> DJHenjin exit to get out of chroot
[12:09] <jasl> shutdown -r now to reboot
[12:09] <nightcrow> jasl: do i put both those elements in one line?
[12:09] <pksadiq> !find sql-editor
[12:09] <jasl> nightcrow ssh 1.1.1.1 ls
[12:09] <jasl> nightcrow or ssh root@1.1.1.1 ls
[12:09] <jasl> See what you get

[12:14] <jasl> nightcrow you're going to have to set up ssh keys
[12:14] <DJHenjin> omg omg omg omg i think its working
[12:14] <DJHenjin> the cursor came up and i can move it
[12:14] <jasl> so you don't have to type passwords
[12:14] <DJHenjin> but the desktop itself isnt up yet

[12:17] <DJHenjin> perhaps if i let it sit for a few minutes
[12:18] <les_> its still faster than windows :)
[12:18] <jasl> nightcrow you simply have to run ssh-keygen -t rsa on each system and then copy the id_pub.rsa files into  authorized_keys file on each machine but you'll have to figure out the details
[12:18] <pksadiq> DJHenjin: got the desktop?
[12:18] <DJHenjin> not atm and not compared to my gaming computer
[12:18] <jasl> les_  did you find and boot a recovery kernel?

[12:25] <aristidesfl> hiiiiiiiiii
[12:25] <aristidesfl> why 32bit is recommended on desktop version but 64bit on server edition?
[12:25] <tom__> j
[12:25] <aristidesfl> on http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[12:26] <dr_willis> aristidesfl,  if you know enoguht to know the differance. you can decide for yourself.
[12:26] <Newbee> Hmm.ok.so I can edit and have no problem in opening that edited file with microsoft office?
[12:26] <dr_willis> aristidesfl,  its basic ally 'idiot proofing' so that someone with no clue. would pick 32bit - which will work on any hardware they may have
[12:26] <dr_willis> servers also dont normally use flash - which is one of the 'problem areas' of 64bit.
[12:26] <bazhang> Newbee, try it and see
[12:27] <DJHenjin> all my computers are 64 bit except for this ubuntu machine, i never have issues with flash
[12:27] <dr_willis> DJHenjin,  but are you using the acutal 64bit flash. or the 32bit flash. :)
[12:27] <DJHenjin> 64 bit :)
[12:28] <dr_willis> Flash has to be a top 10 issue in ubuntu. perhaps the #1 issue.
[12:28] <Newbee> Ok.i got to present it in my class tomorrow let me make two copies one using windows and other ubuntu
[12:28] <DJHenjin> g0x10
[12:28] <DJHenjin> frick
[12:28] <ffwacom1> xorg.conf + vmware, i want my resolution at 1400x1050
[12:28] <ffwacom1> xrandr -s 1400x1050 works
[12:29] <ffwacom1> why linuuuxx whyyyy
[12:29] <DJHenjin> heh heh heh, now that my plotter controller is back on its feet i have to solve some stepper motor issues, and calibration issues
[12:29] <dr_willis> ffwacom1,  you did try the monitors setting tool? :)
[12:29] <DJHenjin> then i can start lazer cutting stuff again
[12:29] <ffwacom1> :) would if i could
[12:29] <ffwacom1> trying to be l33t and running arch
[12:30] <Newbee> And also the default player in ubuntu is not playing my movie files.it asks to search for codecs.but says it couldnt find one
[12:30] <ffwacom1> but i forgot my freenode pass and i can't be fucked getting another one
[12:30] <bazhang> ffwacom1, arch? what does that have to do with ubuntu support; also no cursing
[12:30] <aristidesfl> dr_willis: why is 64 bit server recommended?
[12:30] <dr_willis> Newbee,  instasll the codec packs. or try vlc.
[12:30] <dr_willis> aristidesfl,  why not.. if your server can do 64bit then do it..
[12:30] <bazhang> Newbee, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:31] <dr_willis> servers often have more then 4gb of ram
[12:31] <ffwacom1> well you can configure X in ubuntu with xorg.conf
[12:31] <DJHenjin> i will love this channel for ever
[12:31] <aristidesfl> dr_willis: is that the only advantage?
[12:31] <Saurabh> I am running Ubuntu 11.04. It is a fresh installation and not an upgrade from any earlier version. I access net through Chrome and Firefox. I am having problem with my internet. When I switch on my computer, I can acess sites but after some time (the time varies) internet stops and I am not able to open any websites. The connection status shows that it is connected. If I try to reset my connection (or diconnect and then connect again), then it just goes on
[12:31] <Saurabh> trying to connect infinitely and finally shows disconnected and then tries again to connect. I tried to check debug the situation and coudl find any reason but found that I could make an ftp connection but couldn't browse any site in my browser. By, the way I am using Filezilla as my FTP client.
[12:31] <ffwacom1> and you guys are friendlier
[12:31] <dr_willis> aristidesfl,  64bit can also be faster fro some math intensive tasks.
[12:31] <Newbee> Vlc doesnt show video in fullscreen the panels dont go,and how to add codecs pck
[12:32] <dr_willis> Newbee,  odd.. vlc defauinatly works here in full screen. whats your video card?
[12:32] <Zerone> ?
[12:32] <dr_willis> !codecs
[12:32] <bazhang> ffwacom1, this is not arch support, if you are indeed running arch, try #archlinux
[12:32] <ffwacom1> need my pass
[12:32] <ffwacom1> alright ill head there
[12:32] <dr_willis> ffwacom1,  make a new nick/reg it..
[12:32] <bazhang> ffwacom1, #freenode NOT here
[12:32] <Saurabh> The Ubuntu I am using is 64-bit. And the problem resolves once I restart my computer.
[12:32] <bazhang> Newbee, the package is ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:33] <ManDay_> Which tool in ubuntu can search within files?
[12:33] <dr_willis> im using 32bit on this box. because i couldent find my Lubuntu 64bit cd. :)
[12:33] <Saurabh> Someone please help. Please let me know if need to publish any more details
[12:33] <Newbee> Mine is an integrated one with m2n68amse2 motherboard frm asus using nvidia
[12:33] <dr_willis> ManDay_,  for within text files for a text pattern - grep is often used
[12:33] <Goliath> hey
[12:33] <bazhang> Newbee, install from synaptic package manager
[12:33] <Goliath> how can i see the services running already?
[12:34] <Newbee> Any cmd to do that
[12:34] <bazhang> Newbee, do what
[12:34] <yasser> y

[12:34] <ManDay_> dr_willis: i'm looking for an easy to use gui tool which also succesfully searches within docx documents, to name one
[12:35] <ManDay_> (and offers easy to use options such as case insensitivy without using regex)
[12:35] <dr_willis> never used docx so no idea.
[12:35] <Viderizer> Hey
[12:35] <dr_willis> check the package manager - see what tools are in there. Ive seen a few gui search/text tools
[12:35] <Viderizer> is there older versions from thw Wubi installer?
[12:35] <ManDay_> dr_willis: ok what about an easy grep frontend then?
[12:36] <ManDay_> which offers checkboxes for case insensitivity and so forth
[12:36] <Viderizer> 'case I didn't like the newest ubuntu
[12:36] <dr_willis> ManDay_,  never needed one. :)
[12:36] <Newbee> To install codec pack from synaptic package manager?
[12:36] <Viderizer> and would like to switch bakc
[12:36] <ManDay_> dr_willis: ditto.
[12:36] <ManDay_> otherwise i would know one
[12:36] <dr_willis> Newbee,  someone mentioned  insrtalling 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[12:36] <bazhang> Newbee, yes
[12:36] <theadmin> Viderizer: Get any ISO and use that
[12:36] <theadmin> Viderizer: WUBI is present on all Ubuntu ISOs
[12:36] <Viderizer> Ok
[12:37] <Newbee> Yes dr willis did that using jockey.got unity workng.bt trouble continues with vlc

[12:37] <theadmin> Newbee: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras # Would be the right command
[12:37] <dr_willis> could be some compiz/vlc/unity issues. - i am using Lubuntu for the time being.
[12:38] <dr_willis> Newbee,  you may want to check the askubuntu.com site or the forums - see if others have the same vlc issue. there may be some fix/common quirk going on
[12:38] <Saurabh> Can someone please help me?
[12:38] <Newbee> Command for instaling codec packs?
[12:38] <Newbee> Thanx willis.
[12:39] <ManDay_> Does anyone know an easy grep GUI frontend?
[12:40] <usr13> ManDay_: I don't think there is one.
[12:40] <ManDay_> oO
[12:40] <ManDay_> what the hell. ubuntu without a gui frontend?
[12:40] <dr_willis> apt-cache search search | grep grep
[12:40] <Saurabh> Can someone please help me.
[12:40] <ManDay_> does anyone know why annotations are not visible in docx?
[12:40] <dr_willis> :) not sure what ones of those are gui
[12:40] <ManDay_> ....libre office
[12:40] <usr13> Saurabh: You might try switching to wicd.  Don't really know if it will help but worth a try.
[12:41] <Saurabh> I am having problems with my internet
[12:41] <Saurabh> can you tell me how can i do that
[12:41] <dr_willis> ive seen some generic 'cli' front end tools. or other text search tools.. but ive rarely needed them
[12:41] <usr13> Saurabh: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[12:41] <Saurabh> usr13:ok thank you usr13. Will give it a try
[12:43] <Newbee> Usr 13 what is wicd?
[12:43] <dr_willis> !info wicd
[12:43] <iszak> So I'm planning on moving the rm binary to another location and replace it with a shell script which will check the path and ensure the pwd is the parent of the folder it's going to delete, will it work?
[12:43] <Guest15581> Just installed Ubuntu, I have to internal hard drives in my computer and one of them is not showing up.  fdisk -l is giving me both  hard drives, but when I try to mount the on I'm having trouble with I get "mount: /dev/sdb already mounted or /mnt busy" Tried to unmount it just to make sure and it says its not mounted
[12:44] <dr_willis> iszak,  why not just make a rm alias.
[12:44] <Guest15581> any idea why I can't mount the hd?
[12:44] <usr13> Newbee: Wicd - Wired and Wireless Network Connection Manager
[12:44] <iszak> dr_willis, you mean like a command alias?
[12:44] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  exactly how are you truying to mount it?
[12:44] <dr_willis> iszak,  thats a common way to do such a task yes.
[12:45] <Jake> hey room in ubuntu 11.04 i am duel booting w/ windows but want windows to be the default how do i change the boot order?
[12:45] <iszak> dr_willis, but it'll mean users will still be able to execute rm?
[12:45] <iszak> directly, if they don't use the alias
[12:45] <dr_willis> iszak,   i dont really see what you are gaining by the alterations.
 maybe its sdb1 or sdb2 your after
[12:45] <Newbee> Another issue that Im facing is I cnt access the partition in which ubuntu is installed.its wubi installation
[12:45] <iszak> dr_willis, stop people deleting things they shouldn't.
[12:45] <usr13> Newbee: "Wicd  is  designed to give the user as much control over behavior of network connection as possible."  (From man file.)
[12:45] <iszak> or /accidently/ deleting
[12:46] <dr_willis> Jake,  you can rename /etc/grub.d/XX_os-prober to be a lower # and it will move up the list.
[12:46] <DJHenjin> thanks for all the help guys, im outta here
[12:46] <dr_willis> iszak,  your changes may break scripts or other things.. stuff to watch out for.
[12:46] <Guest15581> sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt is the command I'm using
[12:46] <Guest15581> dr_willis
[12:46] <Zerone> quit
[12:46] <DJHenjin> wait a second, is there a synergy package for 10.04?
[12:46] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  not a proper command. Unless its a cd/optical drive
[12:47] <iszak> dr_willis, yeah I know, that's why I was planning on passing all the parameters to the aliased rm after the check
[12:47] <dr_willis> DJHenjin,  yes.
[12:47] <DJHenjin> got a name for it?
[12:47] <iszak> parameters/arguments
[12:47] <usr13> Saurabh: Actually, I think you may need to install the GUI front end.  i.e.  sudo apt-get install wicd-gtk ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[12:47] <dr_willis> !info syngery
[12:47] <dr_willis> !info synegry
[12:47] <dr_willis> I never can spell it right
[12:47] <Newbee> I cnt acces the partition in which ubuntu is instald
[12:47] <szal> !info synergy
[12:48] <DJHenjin> so just sudo apt-get install synergy
[12:48] <rileyp> Guest15581 you cant  mount to /mnt
[12:48] <DJHenjin> or do i need to add a repo?
[12:48] <rileyp> mkdir ~/sbd
[12:48] <dr_willis> its in the universe repo.
[12:48] <Guest15581> I've also tried mounting to a folder inside of mnt
[12:48] <Guest15581> didn't work either
[12:48] <Jake> how on ubuntu 11.04 do i just launch terminal there is no more task menu or whatever you want to call it
[12:49] <dr_willis>  Guest15581  /dev/sdb is wrong.. unless its a optcal disk. or a weirdly partioned hard drive
[12:49] <rileyp> then sudo mount /dev/sdb /home/username/sdb but you wll need to give file systemd type etc as well
[12:50] <Newbee> Unable to acces partition on ubuntu
[12:50] <usr13> More about wicd:  If I remember correctly, I just installed package wicd and the GUI front end came with it. So...
[12:50] <Guest15581> k, when i do fdisk -l I get this     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

[12:51] <rileyp> Guest15581 is is formatted?
[12:51] <usr13> Newbee: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[12:51] <Newbee> Ok.i want to change network manager.it has got some problm with my mobile broadband
[12:51] <dr_willis> sdb is not even showing its partitiond . from how im reading that.
[12:52] <Guest15581> so would I need to partion it from 4866 forward?
[12:52] <Guest15581> and then mount it?
[12:52] <Newbee> Usr 13.do u know about partitions.can u help me
[12:52] <usr13> Guest15581: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[12:53] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  is there any actual data on this disk? or is it brand new?
[12:53] <Guest15581> most of my files are on it. runs fine on Win7
[12:53] <Guest15581> just trying to get it switched over
[12:54] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  tyhen your fdisk -l output should be showing its a NTFS partition on it somewhere.
[12:54] <blackshirt1> night
[12:54] <rileyp> Guest15581: the ntfs partitons are on sdba
[12:54] <onryo> This "Unity" is weird. How do I open more then one term?
[12:54] <rileyp> soz sda from info you pated above
[12:54] <dr_willis> onryo,  middle click i think. theres a unity-shortcuts wallpaper image out there that gives tips
[12:54] <DJHenjin> is there some kind of process viewer like task manager in windows in ubuntu 10.04?
[12:54] <dr_willis> onryo,  and several sites with unity docs/beginner guides
[12:54] <DJHenjin> with info like cpu and ram usage?
[12:54] <rileyp> /dev/sda1   *           1          13      102400    7  HPFS/NTFS this is windows fs
[12:55] <Newbee> Onryo actualy i felt unity really bad
[12:55] <rileyp> /dev/sda2              13        4866    38977536    7  HPFS/NTFS this is windows as well
[12:55] <rileyp> sda1 is the bott partiton
[12:55] <rileyp> boot
[12:55] <DJHenjin> crap my comp froze while installing synergy
[12:55] <Guest15581> from what I can see sda is partioned into two parts, but the sdb, which is the one I can't see isn't partioned it seems
[12:55] <Newbee> Henin use system monitor
[12:56] <Newbee> In that you will see processes tab
[12:56] <Guest15581> very new to linux, been working on this for awhile now :/
[12:56] <onryo> dr_willis Newbee OK Ill give it a try. I just installed the Alpha of Ubuntu 11.10 it has kernel 3.0! Thought I would take a look. Normally I am on Debian Wheezy.
[12:57] <rileyp> Guest15581,  your telling us and were telling you but surely you know hat you have nefore you started the 500 gig stand alone drive is empty yeah?
[12:57] <dr_willis> onryo,  11.10 is very much a work in progress at this state.
[12:58] <Guest15581> no, the drive is about half full, has all my music, photo's ect on it
[12:58] <dr_willis> Would a windows encrypted hard drive show up as unpartioned?
[12:58] <Jake> dr_willis so if i rename the 30_os-prober to 20 it would change it to up by 1?
[12:59] <dr_willis> Jake,  unless theres a 21 and 25 and so on.. :) it would move it up a few slots yes..
[12:59] <dr_willis> Jake,  and rerun update-grub also
[12:59] <onryo> dr_willis yeah I see that. Seems that Unity is sort of in the works too. See that GDM is gone. OK 50k lines of code was a little blotted but this is not the GNU/Linux I grew up with. Maybe Ill get use to it. Just don't want a blinky iPhone on my desktop though =)
[13:00] <Guest15581> i can partion the drive and then try to mount it easy enough if that would make it work...
[13:00] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  i would boot to windows. and backup the data befor you mess with trying to 'fix' it...
[13:01] <dr_willis> Guest15581,   YYou may want to pick a better Nick also.. theres to many guests in here. :)
[13:01] <Guest15581> haha i had one, but I didn't chat fast enough it seems
[13:02] <Guest15581> so would you agree that partioning it and then trying to mount seems like the best route?
[13:02] <DJHenjin> whats nice ni the processes tab of system monitor?
[13:03] <onryo> can I keep my repos in pure FOSS using Ubuntu?
[13:03] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  i would back up the data FIRST...  somthing is very weird that the disk is showing no partitions
[13:03] <dr_willis> onryo,  ive seen where thats doable.. i dont se emuch point in it.
[13:03] <Guest15581> yeah I'll back it up for sure
[13:03] <Guest15581> thanks for the help dr_willis and rileyp
[13:03] <DJHenjin> gnome system monitor is using 50% CPU
[13:04] <GraymanStole> Question for anyone who is capable of answering: Is there a way/How do I add photos to the contacts in Evolution? Clicking on the box where the photo should go does nothing.
[13:04] <magnetron> hi, my network card isn't initialized. dmesg suggest i use "force-addr=0xaddr". i know about an unoccupied range. is this a kernel option and how do i use it?
[13:05] <ChessTeach> is there anyway to get more desktops in ubuntu, and also maybe give them temporary names?
[13:05] <dr_willis> ChessTeach,  the 'ccsm' tool lets you select ooodles of them if you want.
[13:05] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[13:06] <dr_willis> for Unity i think it must be a 2x range.. 2 rows..
[13:06] <onryo> dr_willis OK was just wondering. In my case the point is that I like to have the code as src so I can clean stuff up if needed. Kernel blobs in ring-0 tend to put me on edge too.
[13:07] <movan2011> DJHenjin, the nice column relates to the priority of a process.  If it has a negative value it has higher priority.  I don't know the ins and outs of linux but I expect it means the processor will keep tabs on the process more often and may afford more processing time to get its job done.
[13:07] <ChessTeach> dr_willis: simple_ccsm?
[13:08] <dr_willis> i dont use simple_ccsm
[13:08] <dr_willis> its to simple. :)
[13:08] <ChessTeach> :-)
[13:08] <ChessTeach> then compiz-config?
[13:08] <dr_willis> i use ccsm - yes.. when i use compiz
[13:08] <ChessTeach> cool
[13:09] <DJHenjin> okay this is odd, a new symptom
[13:09] <DJHenjin> intermittent freezing after random duration with no warnings
[13:09] <DamienCassou> hi
[13:10] <DamienCassou> I would like to install a package which depends on libboost1.40-all-dev but this package does not exist anymore (I believe it has been replaced by libboost1.42-all-dev). Is there anything I can do?
[13:11] <volkswagner> Greetings, I'm still trying to troubleshoot minimal install, Ubuntu 11.04, LXDE, getting regular user shutdown options in logout-menu
[13:12] <dr_willis> what would Depend on a -dev pckage?   if you are compiling the source. it should compiler with the newer versions id hope.
[13:12] <volkswagner> I see this in .xsession-errors   polkit-gnome-1-Message: Failed to connect to the session bus: //bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message
[13:12] <DJHenjin> seems to freeze on when the cpu is under high load
[13:12] <dr_willis> volkswagner,  you mean you are not getting regular user shutdown option? you using GDM/KDM/whatever lubuntu uses?
[13:13] <DamienCassou> dr_willis: it might be because it's a package for developers
[13:13] <volkswagner> dr_willis:  Yes.. if I log in via root and run startx I can get the options after I added policykit-1-gnome but not sure how to allow regular user
[13:14] <dr_willis> volkswagner,  only time ive ever seen those not show up. is when not using gdm/kdm/???dm
[13:14] <dr_willis> Im not even sure what lubuntu uses by default.. and im using Lubuntu now. :()
[13:15] <dr_willis> lxdm it seems :)
[13:15] <volkswagner> dr_willis, correct no login manager... is it required, as I had it working in past versions of Debian5, which now does not work in Debian 6
[13:15] <dr_willis> volkswagner,  no idea. I just recall never seeing the shutdown option Unless i was using some *dm login manager
[13:16] <dr_willis> You could always logout then hit alt-ctrl-delete :)
[13:16] <volkswagner> I have seen some reference to have passwordless sudo, but several attempts I could not eliminate password prompt
[13:17] <volkswagner> dr_willis: I think logout crashes X... I have to use a terminal to shutdown, reboot, Kinda pain with a tablet :(
[13:18] <dr_willis> you can setup the sudoers to allow  'sudo somecommand' without needing a password.. or you could 'suid' the command to shutdiown/reboot/whatever  (NOT a good idea)
[13:19] <dr_willis> using 'startx' on a tablet? that seems.. weird..
[13:19] <ffwacom> hey guys i ran headless ubuntu in vmware, but i installed X however i can't set the default resolution :( :( QQ
[13:19] <DJHenjin> hmm
[13:19] <nicola> hi
[13:19] <DJHenjin> would ubuntu 10.04 work on a fujitsu tablet?
[13:20] <DJHenjin> with pen input
[13:20] <Resager> hi guys
[13:20] <volkswagner> dr_willis: I have seen other how-to's mentioning "exec ck startlxde" or similar but I don't see proper syntax for Ubuntu
[13:20] <nicola> Do you have problems with acpi, and ubuntu?
[13:20] <ffwacom> xorg.conf aint workin
[13:21] <dr_willis> never heard of a 'ck' command..
[13:21] <volkswagner> dr_willis: thanks for input, let me see if I can get more info,
[13:21] <zvacet> volkswagner: see if http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1132821&highlight=sudoers can help you
[13:21] <volkswagner> ck I think is consolekit
[13:22] <dr_willis> i would just use lxdm and let it autologin if needed
[13:25] <theadmin> dr_willis: How to configure lxdm to autologin, actually?
[13:25] <volkswagner> dr_willis: I think lubuntu uses "start-lubuntu"
[13:25] <dr_willis> not sure. i recall the lubuntu installer asking if i wanted to do so.. so it aparently can do it. :)
[13:25] <theadmin> dr_willis: lol okay
[13:25] <dr_willis>  /etc/lxdm has config files
[13:25] <theadmin> dr_willis: I use lxdm with openbox so I suppose some config tools *might* be missing

[13:29] <edent> Is there a better / official way of mapping mouse buttons than xinput set-button-map ?
[13:29] <dr_willis> edent,  for logitech mice i saw some 3rd party mouse drivers/config tools once.  but not suire if they work for any other brand mouse.
[13:30] <edent> dr_willis - they don't, I found them too - but they don't work
[13:30] <edent> My mouse works, I just want to permanently store my xinput preferences rather than running the command each time.
[13:30] <dr_willis> i cant even rember the company name/program name. i used them ages ago for my mx518 they worked then..
[13:30] <dr_willis> make a script that auto-starts
[13:31] <DJHenjin> cronjob time looks like
[13:31] <edent> dr_willis I have - but if I unplug my mouse, it forgets them.
[13:31] <ylmf> ohno
[13:31] <dr_willis> edent,  theres udev rules you could mess with I guess..
[13:31] <Peanut> Hi, I've just updated the e1000e driver on my new 11.04 install. If I do rmmod/modprobe e1000e, I get the working version, but after a reboot, I end up with the broken version again. Would 'update-initramfs -u' be enough to update the e1000e module in the initrd?
[13:32] <edent> dr_willis is there a tutorial / documentation for udev stuff?
[13:32] <dr_willis> !udev
[13:32] <dr_willis> aparently no factoid. :)
[13:32] <dr_willis> ive never messed with it. seen some guides on spefific things with it
[13:32] <ylmf> 有中国的吗
[13:33] <bazhang> !cn | ylmf
[13:34] <andrewS> silly question, please: if i am SSH'd into an ubuntu server from ubuntu desktop, is there some command i can use to transfer files to and from my local drive from within that SSH session?
[13:34] <edent> I used to use fdi / hal but that seems to have gone in 11.04
[13:34] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> !scp | andrewS
[13:34] <andrewS> kk ty. researching scp
[13:35] <edent> andrewS you need to use scp seperately - you can't transfer from an interactive SSH terminal.
[13:35] <jrib> andrewS: check out zssh sz and rz
[13:35] <andrewS> ahhh kk
[13:35] <Owner> greetings!
[13:35] <dr_willis> ssh is a handy handy handy tool......
[13:35] <theadmin> dr_willis: It's not a tool, it's a lifesaver :D
[13:35] <novusinvi> =)
[13:35] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> create a cron with keys ... zzz
[13:35] <dr_willis> sshfs lets you mount a remote box via ssh to a local directory. can be very usefull also
[13:35] <dr_willis> ssh+scp+sshfs  :)
[13:35] <novusinvi> Think if we still had to use telnet xD
[13:36] <andrewS> omg so much information
[13:36] <andrewS> lol
[13:36] <dr_willis> !ssh
[13:36] <DJHenjin> telnet is soo much fun though
[13:36] <Owner> SSL/HTTPS over compounded SSH2 cyphers over SSL/https !
[13:36] <dr_willis> just go spend a few hrs reading some ssh books. :)
[13:36] <magnetron> DJHenjin: lots of really old services are exposed as telnet
[13:36] <novusinvi> hah oo the unencrypted data! hah
[13:36] <DJHenjin> yeah and soo is an email server
[13:36] <llutz_> telnet-ssl exists
[13:37] <novusinvi> Why not just use ssh?
[13:37] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> who wants to know about cryptology
[13:37]  * magnetron approves of SSH
[13:37] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> lol
[13:37] <novusinvi> =P
[13:38] <Owner> layering your own personal private encryption over compounded SSH2 connections using various different cyphers is pretty darn secure ;-)
[13:38] <Owner> at least, it is for me..
[13:39] <Owner> the connections on the same server.. but you can pipleeline compounded tunnels of those.
[13:39] <edent> Anyone know if fdi still works in 11.04? If not - what has replaced it?
[13:39] <theadmin> edent: You mean fbi?
[13:39] <Owner> could still be tracked by timestamps.. but there's ways around that too.
[13:39] <theadmin> edent: That FrameBuffer Image viewer?
[13:39] <Owner> I mean.. time becomes irrelivant with enough distribution.
[13:40] <Owner> the only thing left is strentgh or lack of what's required to crack it.
[13:40] <edent> theadmin - fdi allow syou to set rules for USB perhipherals. like Mice.  Was introduced in 10.10 then dropped.
[13:40] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> ssh_config = Cipher aes256-ctr    ftw
[13:40] <theadmin> edent: Hm, probably udev has some way for that, at least I remember making udev getting my usb modem to work
[13:40] <Owner> ssl is far easier to crack than compounded ssh2 cyphering.
[13:41] <edent> theadmin do you know of any good udev resources which may help me?
[13:41] <theadmin> edent: Nah, sorry, though googling "/etc/udev/rules.d" may hel[p
[13:41] <theadmin> edent: je;p
[13:41] <theadmin> edent: help*
[13:41] <theadmin> edent: lol, sorry
[13:41] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> Owner: lol specialy when u MITM :P
[13:42] <Owner> even using the public cyphers and SSH@2 (which is completely open source) https over compounded ssh2 cyphers would require millions of packets to crack and their wouldn't be anywhere near that many between server and client.
[13:42] <theadmin> edent: or "udev rules", simply
[13:42] <Owner> the 4423 has to be the same serv as the 22 ;-)
[13:42] <Owner> real easy to impliment.
[13:43] <Owner> SSL can be cracked using a web browser.
[13:43] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> 4x SLI GT5XX pyrite :P
[13:43] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> ppa's are insane crack quick :)

[13:44] <xokvictor> hi all! who know alternative putty (ssh client) for windows in ubuntu?
[13:44] <volkswagner> dr_willis: do you think I can edit  "/etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop"  http://paste.ubuntu.com/627944/
[13:45] <llutz_> xokvictor: cygwin+openssh-client
[13:45] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> xokvictor: imo putty is the best and it's freeeeee
[13:45] <Peanut> The update-initrmfs -u trick did indeed help, now I just need to file a bug that Ubuntu is shipping a broken e1000e driver...
[13:45] <dr_willis> volkswagner,  im not even sure how altering gnome stuff wiould be affecting lxde
[13:45] <Owner> anyone could make a n easy to use sniffer and ssl/https cracker.. using the open source of ssh, public cyphers, and the packets themselves.. you don't need more than a single transmission.
[13:45] <bazhang> Owner, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat please
[13:45] <llutz_> Owner: please take your "mine is too long to hide" to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:46] <theadmin> Owner: illegal topics are discouraged though
[13:46] <Owner> bazhag.. the topic was SSH and SSL and cryptology..
[13:46] <Owner> where do you say I'm off topic?
[13:46] <bazhang> Owner, its not ubuntu support so #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:46] <llutz_> Owner: topic here is ubuntu-support only
[13:46] <Owner> I set the topic days ago and it's still here.
[13:46] <xokvictor> smahs3dtw1tch3d, what is "imo putty"?
[13:47] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> xokvictor: in my opinion
[13:47] <Owner> fine.. btw.. My Securecom is up.. (secure communication server ((unlike here))) magizian.hopto.org

[13:47] <op_amp> Hi, I was running ubuntu 10.10 on virtual machine. Yesterday my system wasn't booting properly. It was giving init=bootmgr related error. When I searched on internet, I found out that there might be someproblem with my filesystem. So, I had to run fsck command on my disk. I booted in a live cd and tried to run dismount sda1 using gparted but the option is not selectable.
[13:47] <Owner> SSHssh -2C -l user -p 20022 magizian2.dyndns.org
[13:47] <volkswagner> dr_willis:  addin policykit-1-gnome is what allowed root user menu option in logout menu, just found this may pertain? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677171
[13:47] <Owner> password: freeaccess
[13:48] <jrib> Owner: stop. now.  No more warnings.
[13:48] <sztuczka> Hi, Ive just installed lmms. When I am trying to figure about tools that I can use then I simply scroll over the icon to see that short description message - unfortunatelly that message appeared unreadable as it has almost the same background as fonts. Someone can help how to change that?
[13:48] <op_amp> So at present I can see a filesystem drive for my live boot and my original filesystem( I used for virtual machine 11gb) but its unmountable. When I tried to mount it I got this error " DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed:An operation is already pending"
[13:48] <xokvictor> but putty not for linux :(
[13:48] <xokvictor> twitch,
[13:48] <llutz_> !info putty
[13:48] <llutz_> xokvictor: ^^
[13:49] <xokvictor> ) llutz_ 10x ))
[13:49] <twitch> :)
[13:50] <llutz_> xokvictor: whyever you don't just use ssh (client)
[13:51] <xokvictor> WOW! i installed putty %) 10x u very much
[13:51] <xokvictor> llutz, because i love putty
[13:51] <dr_willis> I dont see much need for putty on linux.. unless you just gotta have their somewhat odd interface
[13:51] <nameless`> hello
[13:52] <nameless`> c'est quoi déjà l'alternative à etherpad qui se base sur openoffice pour l'édition collaborative ?
[13:52] <adamisme> hello
[13:52] <bazhang> nameless`, #ubuntu-fr for french please
[13:52] <edbian> adamisme: hello
[13:52] <xokvictor> i don't know how make profiles without putty for my servers

[13:52] <llutz_> xokvictor: ~/.ssh/config
[13:52] <nameless`> ops sorry
[13:53] <nameless`> i was asking what is the alternative to etherpad for real time collaborative editing, i think based on the oofice lib
[13:53] <bazhang> nameless`, tried in #openoffice.org yet?
[13:53] <xokvictor> llutz, 10x, i'm read about this
[13:54] <xophe> #Ulteo
[13:56] <les_> hey i ended up having to reinstall lol ty thou if ur still here jasl
[13:56] <bonhoffer> i have a problem on my ubuntu box that ln -s is putting a directory inside the target i'm specifying
[13:56] <twitch> bonhoffer: paste whole cmd please
[13:57] <bonhoffer> twitch: i think i see the problem, i need to delete the original directory, or else it puts the symbolic link inside
[13:57] <bonhoffer> twitch: i am interested in ls -not *.jpg
[13:57] <twitch> bonhoffer: if it is a dir make sure you end it in /
[13:57] <bonhoffer> is there a way to list all non-jpg files
[13:57] <bonhoffer> twitch: oh, that helps thanks
[13:58] <llutz_> bonhoffer: find path/ -type f ! -iname *.jpg
[13:58] <bonhoffer> nice, thanks
[13:59] <bonhoffer> llutz_: so the find command -- surprised that is not an ls option
[13:59] <bonhoffer> the find command is so powerful, thanks
[13:59] <bonhoffer> llutz_: you can use -not too right?
[14:00] <edbian> bonhoffer: ls | grep -v .jpg
[14:00] <llutz_> bonhoffer: yes, "ls" has --hide option, never used it though
[14:00] <dr_willis> i think ls has some invert option.. or you could grep it :)
[14:00] <bonhoffer> llutz_: ah, cool
[14:00] <dr_willis> Now.. find all *.mta files and delete them... : 2 points...
[14:00] <theadmin> dr_willis: find / -iname *.mta -exec rm '{}' \;
[14:00]  * edbian feels used
[14:01] <dr_willis> Bash quiz time :)
[14:01] <theadmin> dr_willis: Replace / with a proper folder, of course
[14:01] <bonhoffer> find -iname "*.mta" -exec . . .hey i was almost htere
[14:01] <llutz_> find bla -delete
[14:01] <bonhoffer> theadmin: i don't think you need the quotes around {} do you?
[14:01] <dr_willis> i want do do it for the whole mounted drive. :) this silly upnp server put .mta files all over my videos
[14:01] <edbian> places -> computer -> filesystem.  Click files ending in .mta
[14:01] <edbian> press delete
[14:01] <theadmin> bonhoffer: You do
[14:01] <edbian> (hold control of course while selecting files)
[14:02] <bonhoffer> theadmin: thanks
[14:02]  * edbian laughs at his own joke because nobody else did :(
[14:02] <dr_willis> ;()
[14:03] <theadmin> llutz_: ...really? o_O
[14:03] <theadmin> llutz_: Cool
[14:03] <llutz_> theadmin: ?
[14:03] <theadmin> llutz_: find has a -delete flag? If so that's cool
[14:03] <llutz_> man find
[14:03] <llutz_> at least gnu-find has
[14:03] <private_meta> I installed Ubuntu Server (LTS 10.04) on a ProLiant Server,  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5430  @ 2.66GHz, but in /proc/cpuinfo it shows cpu MHz : 2003.000, is there some energy saving there I need to turn off?
[14:04] <dr_willis> im used to building up 'batch' files from simpiler commands from years  and years ago
[14:04] <dr_willis> private_meta,  put it under load.. check it again. see if it goes up.
[14:04] <private_meta> hmm.. load... lessee...
[14:06] <dr_willis> 2.66 to 2.03 dosent seem like much throtteling to me
[14:06] <dr_willis> seems like an odd # also. but ive never used a xeon cpu.
[14:06] <theadmin> private_meta: cat /dev/urandom | gzip --best | grep WindowsXP # xD
[14:06] <dr_willis> bbl
[14:07] <DJHenjin> anyone have any ideas on my ubuntu 10.04 freezing problem?
[14:08] <twitch> upgrade?
[14:08] <private_meta> dr_willis: ok, it went up
[14:08] <private_meta> hmm but I need max cpu speed
[14:09] <DJHenjin> i guess i should sudo apt-get update
[14:09] <CruX|> hello, is there any Upnp command line client for linux ? I need to forward ports on my router
[14:10] <private_meta> so, how would i turn off that throttling?
[14:10] <private_meta> or, how would I get max cpu speed, without generating load?
[14:10] <sw0rdfish> hey guys i want to install a timer, any suggestions?
[14:10] <DJHenjin> sw0rdfish a good movie
[14:11] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: The sleep command + mplayer
[14:11] <sw0rdfish> hehe
[14:11] <llutz_> private_meta: why do you want to waste energy without needs?
[14:11] <sw0rdfish> talking about a timer man
[14:12] <sw0rdfish> I'm speed testing myself on reading, and need to use a timer, so that it shows me how many minutes and seconds i've wasted on one exercise.
[14:12] <bazhang> sw0rdfish, timer-applet
[14:12] <private_meta> llutz_: Well, if I can fetch the maximum speed without generating load unecessarily, I don't care about turning off throtteling
[14:12] <llutz_> sw0rdfish: time ls -lRa
[14:13] <sw0rdfish> bazhang, i installed that but didn't find it anywhere, they said in a forum post it 'sits on your panel'
[14:13] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: There's a pretty cool time management app (which obviously has a timer) called Rachota if you want
[14:13] <llutz_> private_meta: if there's no load, there's no need to run full speed. look for cpufreq governors
[14:13] <bazhang> sw0rdfish, right click add to panel then
[14:13] <DJHenjin> why dont you use an online speed reading test?
[14:13] <sw0rdfish> oh right, will do bazhang
[14:14] <private_meta> I have to report cpu speed through a c++ program, i don't have any online test or reader and I NEED to know the max. speed
[14:15] <edbian> Is it possible to write an rsync command that pulls from directory A and puts it into dir B and then pulls from C and puts it into D?  My problem is it is remote.  I have two commands right now (one for A->B one for C->D) so it asks my password twice.
[14:15] <edbian> private_meta: If you put load on the CPU you'll get fullspeed.
[14:15] <sw0rdfish> theadmin, its not packaged with ubuntu is it
[14:15] <popey> edbian: I use ssh keys for that
[14:15] <edbian> popey: That's one way...
[14:15] <pck_> Hi, Could anyone help me.  Everytime I turn on my computer my wireless is disabled.  When I type sudo modprobe b43 it turns on fine, but when I turn off my computer and turn it one the next time its diabled again.  Its not a problem, just a it annoying
[14:15] <popey> edbian: keys with no pass phrase that is
[14:16] <edbian> popey: of course
[14:16] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: Probably not, but it's Java-based and runs just fine: http://rachota.sf.net
[14:16] <private_meta> edbian: I said I want to avoid that
[14:16] <edbian> pck_: Can you boot (do not run dmesg) and tell me what lspci -k says your card is using?  I think that the wrong module is getting loaded.
[14:16] <llutz_> pck_: add "b43" to /etc/modules
[14:16] <edbian> private_meta: You want to avoid putting load on the CPU?  The program is going to put load on the CPU.
[14:17] <pck_> edbian: I'm not sure what you mean
[14:17] <edbian> pck_: Can you boot (do not run modprobe b43)* and tell me...
[14:17] <private_meta> edbian: sure, but not 100%
[14:17] <edbian> private_meta: If you program is not hard enough you won't see how fast the CPU can go.
[14:17] <pck_> ok, so I'll have to log off this then...
[14:17] <private_meta> edbian: the reporting program is not enough to generate enough load for the cpu speed to go up
[14:18] <edbian> private_meta: Then it is a bad program to see how fast the CPU can go.  It's like asking to see how fast a ferrari can go in the 25yard dash.
[14:18] <theadmin> private_meta: Okay look, as soon as your system will *need* the full CPU speed, it'll use it -- so why bother :/
[14:18] <private_meta> ...
[14:18] <llutz_> private_meta: to just get the max possible speed: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
[14:19] <private_meta> thanks, that's what I was looking for
[14:20] <llutz_> private_meta: why didn't you ask earlier? ;)
[14:20] <private_meta> ...
[14:20] <rileyp> that should be cpu* not cpu?  or use cpu0 or cpu1 etc
[14:20] <llutz_> rileyp: that should read cpu?
[14:20] <e-DIO-t> did anyone make a NRG DSc328 work?
[14:20] <rileyp> cpu* will report all cpu's
[14:20] <llutz_> rileyp: unless you have a cpu with >10 cores
[14:21] <llutz_> rileyp: you want to read how bash expands an ?

[14:30] <DJHenjin> whats the recommended specs for ubuntu 10.04
[14:30] <pck_> usr13: there is a wicd network manager in the software center, would installing that do the same thing?
[14:30] <usr13> pck_: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager  #And then log out and back in again.
[14:31] <edbian> pck_: I'm reading...
[14:31] <usr13> pck_: Yes
[14:31] <DJHenjin> well, minimum requirements
[14:31] <pksadiq> !requirements | DJHenjin
[14:31] <Azelphur> DJHenjin: just google exactly what you said...it's the first result
[14:31] <edbian> pck_: usr13 Switching to wcid is not going to solve the problem.
[14:31] <pck_> ok, I didn't think it would
[14:31] <edbian> pck_: You have the wl module installed so it is trying to load that.  Getting rid of that package / module will fix the problem.
[14:31] <n1xNc0d3> when I press Alt+Space the gtk window decorator is crashing! what might be the problem?
[14:32] <ntr0py> I am trying to get proftpd to authenticate users against a postgresql db and i am missing "mod_sql_passwd.c" for "SQLPasswordEngine" directive... Does somebody know where it did go?
[14:32] <usr13> edbian: it is BCM4311
[14:32] <pck_> ok, how do I do that?
[14:32] <edbian> usr13: I can see that.  That uses b43
[14:32] <edbian> pck_: I'm looking up the package name right now
[14:32] <DJHenjin> hmmmm i have all the minimums, processor is double the minimum, but its still slow as hell
[14:32] <DJHenjin> and freezes often
[14:32] <compdoc> DJHenjin, check the smart data for the hdd
[14:33] <DJHenjin> could something be off in the custom ISO i used to install?
[14:33] <antonio_> hi
[14:33] <DJHenjin> its a old scsi drive
[14:33] <pksadiq> n1xNc0d3: did you check whether that key combinations is binded with something else? system > prefere..> keyboard short....
[14:33] <edbian> pck_: sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
[14:33] <edbian> pck_: That should do it.
[14:33] <cafenet> how can i recover my  password?
[14:33] <DJHenjin> pretty sure older scsi drives dont have smart data
[14:33] <antonio_> which is the Spanish chat?
[14:33] <pksadiq> !spain
[14:33] <antonio_> sorry for my bad english
[14:34] <compdoc> drives can certainly be a bottleneck
[14:34] <antonio_> thanks
[14:34] <DJHenjin> even at 160 MB per second
[14:34] <DJHenjin> lol
[14:34] <n1xNc0d3> pksadiq, it's at its default settings
[14:34] <edbian> pck_: Make sense?  What questions do you have?
[14:34] <pck_> done.   I'll have  to reboot see if it worked.
[14:35] <edbian> pck_: k
[14:35] <pck_> thanks
[14:35] <kokozedman> hey guys, anyone knows what should i disable in the daily cron ... i'm getting a massive server load every-morning, and it is affecting all users, as i have a lot of kvm machines
[14:36] <kokozedman> here's what inside the /etc/cron.daily: apt  bsdmainutils  dpkg  logrotate  man-db  ntp  standard
[14:36] <sw0rdfish> oh lol I just found I already HAD the program I needed, called 'stopwatch'
[14:36] <llutz_> kokozedman: shift the time cron.daily runs. edit /etc/crontab
[14:37] <kokozedman> llutz, thanks for that... but that doesn't remove the fact that the main server node is having a load of about 40+ when the daily tasks run... i'd like to know if there is one of these tasks that are known to be very heave on the system
[14:38] <kokozedman> with that said, i still am going to shift the time... but just to avoid troubles that tend to happen in the kvm instances when the main node is under extreme stress
[14:38] <llutz_> kokozedman: i's suspect man-db and logrotate
[14:39] <nightcrow> can allowing ICMP redirects be dangerous?
[14:39] <jessica-cr> well, good morning/afternoon/evening everyone
[14:39] <jjp> nightcrow: certainly so. I may allow middle-man actions
[14:39] <nightcrow> so best to keep them disabled?
[14:40] <nightcrow> jjp: i dont totally understand the concept
[14:40] <nightcrow> its just routing
[14:40] <tham> what's the difference between unity and unity-2d?
[14:40] <nightcrow> if there is shorted route, use this one
[14:40] <jjp> nightcrow: that's my position. Some would argue that redirect would provide failover path
[14:40] <D-coy> . .. zZzz
[14:41] <jjp> nightcrow: no, shorter route should be dealt with by a routing protocol (rip, ospf, is-is...)
[14:41] <jessica-cr> tham, unity's written with gtk2/gtk3 libs, unity 2d's written with qt libs. they're quite different even if they look the same
[14:42] <tham> jessica-cr, Hmm, so unity-2d is light weight coz they're written in qt?
[14:43] <DeWE> hello, i was connecting to by server via xrdp successfully but i am having a connection error today. it occured before i got updates, upgrades but still occuring. 10.04 lts.
[14:43] <basy> Is it possible to configure 1xPC with 2xmonitor, 2xmouse 2xkeyboard to have 2 separated X11 session, each use one display, mouse and keyboard... I want to have something like virtual 2 computers on 1 hardware.. How to config this ? Which chanel i have to ask this question?
[14:43] <jessica-cr> tham, do u really think unity-2d's light weight? unity-2d doesn't require 3d accel just 'coz it doesn't use compiz as window manager
[14:43] <Guest35741> v..zz....t..xp...z...r.||...eh..x..|v...~.p.zx.t.~.vmXtz...~.p..t.....p...z...l..v..mpad...jntz..x..|..~.p.t.....v..z.x~...t..r...ortz.x.v....x...t....~|.n..qteh..mptz..~.....~.p........}foZ.n.Y\x~.p.t..~.v....x.wz..pv....~|p||t....|
[14:43] <nightcrow> jjp: i agree, but then why the need for icmp redirects?
[14:44] <AQuintero> Hi everyone ... I need to update pcre for ubuntu 10.04 but I can't find libpcre when I put apt-get update ... Should I do that manually, downloading the package from pcre.org ?
[14:45] <tham> jessica-cr, I thought it's lightweight (heard that somewhere) so installed it in my netbook. Which of the two would you recommend for a low power machine like a netbook?
[14:45] <omichalek> hi all, how can I set my DNS servers (for all my connections)?
[14:45] <llutz_> !info libpcre3 lucid
[14:45] <llutz_> AQuintero: ^^
[14:45] <usr13> omichalek: You should see only one.
[14:45] <AQuintero> ok, thanks llutz
[14:46] <Guest35741> icmp type 7 req from land to land from broadcast IP.. or from broadcatst mac to land mac broadcast ip to land ip: land ip = 127.0.0.1 land mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 broadcast mac = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff broadcast ip = 255.255.255.255
[14:46] <usr13> omichalek: You can just ping them one at a time.... Right?
[14:46] <jessica-cr> tham, surely unity-2d :) it's not light weight as it seems but... it feets better on netbook device 'cuz it doesn't use gpu acceleration (that netbooks obviously don't have)
[14:46] <Guest35741> or subnet nn:nnNNN NNN.NNN.NNN.255
[14:47] <omichalek> usr13 I want to manually set my prefered DNS server
[14:47] <tham> jessica-cr, Ah right. I was a bit confused on this. Thanks :)
[14:47] <llutz_> omichalek: using dhcp? edit dhclient.conf
[14:47] <usr13> omichalek: edit /etc/resolv.conf  and place the prefered one first.  But, if you are using DHCP, the router will sent that info each time you come back to the network.
[14:48] <Guest35741> and I recently uncovered a bash exploit which I had to patch my bash for.. has to do with the cd //
[14:48] <omichalek> llutz_ that will apply to all the wifi connections?
[14:48] <Guest35741> crashes the kernel..
[14:48] <jessica-cr> tham, u're welcome :)
[14:48] <llutz_> omichalek: that will apply to all connetions using dhcp
[14:48] <omichalek> llutz_ cool will try that
[14:49] <Guest35741> version 20 of my OS will have a workaround instead of just the bash missingworkaround.
[14:49] <omichalek> usr13 so that would get overwritten when I connnect to a new dhcp server?
[14:49] <usr13> omichalek: llutz_ I'm sorry, I guess omichalek was talking about the server not the client?
[14:49] <llutz_> omichalek: should be /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf "prepend domain-name-servers w.x.y.z"
[14:50] <usr13> omichalek: Yes, the DHCP server will send IP info to each PC that connects via DHCP, (and will include one or two nameserver IPs).
[14:51] <omichalek> usr13 I know, but I want to use other servers no matter what connection my laptop uses at the time
[14:51] <Guest35741> and have you noticed how much of the net gets redirected to other servers tdue to the manifold DNS services... the server then instead of trying to clone parts of the internet just passes the data .. although a  few don't pass data between client and real server.. some actualy try to clone the web .. or what they can of it.. easy to detect location via triangulation and packet timestamping.
[14:52] <Guest35741> and on ubuntu (or anything else) I haven't been able to get gcc-4.6 to compile on any arch.
[14:52] <usr13> omichalek: as llutz_ says, you can edit dhclient.conf
[14:52] <llutz_> Guest35741: do you have any ubuntu support related question? if not, pleas continue somewhere else
[14:52] <Guest35741> using any prior gwhich gcc does gcc4.6 compile under for ubuntu?
[14:53] <Guest35741> UBUNTU QUESTION: can anyone here tell me which GCC the gcc 4.6 can compile under?
[14:53] <dr_willis> Guest35741,  you may want to select an actual nick. and check yiour font encoding. i see a lot funny charancters in your text.
[14:54] <theadmin> dr_willis: Apparently, his/her/its encoding is KOI8-U, because that's what my Putty happened to be running under and I see no funny chars
[14:55] <nobody^^^> cause I haven't been able to get gcc4.6 and a few others to compile on any system using gcc 4.3, 3or 3.
[14:55] <nobody^^^> gets pretty far then broken c code.
[14:55] <usr13> omichalek: i.e. [add line]:  prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 4.2.2.2
[14:56] <nobody^^^> andone anyone here had success compiling gcc4.6 on ubuntu..
[14:56] <usr13> omichalek:  prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 4.2.2.2; #Forgot the ; at the end.
[14:56] <nobody^^^> if so, which gcc version was used?
[14:56] <nobody^^^> ...guessing that's a no.
[14:57] <omichalek> llutz_ usr13 what is the difference between /etc/dhcp and /etc/dhcp3 ?
[14:57] <nobody^^^> swell.. austarrailia isn't the origin.
[14:57] <usr13> llutz_: I think you would also need to remove "domain-name-servers" from the request line too.  Right?
[14:57] <hipster-swede> hi, i just installed lubuntu but it seems to have the wrong keyboard layout. ive tried to use the lxde keymap selector, and ive tried to dpkg-reconfigure console-data. both these RESET ON REBOOT. how do i persistently choose keyboard layout_
[14:58] <nobody^^^> ..well I doubt australia is the location... of and I don't think that's the real person.
[14:58] <llutz_> usr13: depends how many own you define and if you really only want those.
[14:58] <nobody^^^> could easily test...
[14:58] <nobody^^^> what was the first waterbed model?
[14:59] <usr13> llutz_: Ok, well if it will add the ones you specify as the fist ones in the /etc/resolv.conf file, it won't matter than.
[14:59] <nobody^^^> on green oaks.
[14:59] <nobody^^^> ...hmm.. could be.
[14:59] <usr13> *then     not than.
[14:59] <nobody^^^> oh well, go piss off then... bye all.
[15:00] <llutz_> usr13: yes, it will "prepend" yours
[15:00] <Heinz_L_Maennche> hipster-swede, just open the menu -> Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse
[15:00] <hipster-swede> Heinz_L_Maennche: yes, but it resets on reboot!
[15:01] <usr13> llutz_: Ok, very well.  Thanks for the clarification.
[15:01] <kFj> hi. im getting this when trying to install likewise-open after upgrading to natty: Warning: /etc/init.d/lsassd stop returned 1

[15:01] <omichalek> llutz_ usr13 /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf should my new line be the first one of (uncommented) lines?

[15:02] <kFj> http://pastebin.com/M8iE28Rm here..
[15:02] <usr13> omichalek: You should see the line commented that says:  #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
[15:02] <llutz_> omichalek: just replace the commented line "#"
[15:02] <usr13> omichalek: You can just uncomment that line and replace 127.0.0.1 with the nameserver(s) of your choice.
[15:02] <omichalek> llutz_ I see, great thank you both
[15:03] <omichalek> usr13 you too :)
[15:03] <b0ef> ehlo
[15:03] <usr13> NP
[15:03] <b0ef> if I install 10.04 on a computer later today, I would get a huge load of updates. I'm right now on a high bandwidth station. Is there any way to get a wget list of packages that I can bring with me to that site?
[15:04] <hipster-swede> b0ef: get 10.04.3, it's fairly up to date already
[15:04] <dr_willis> i agree.. the Point releases are handy
[15:04] <Heinz_L_Maennche> hipster-swede, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/168156-lubuntu-cant-remove-keyboard-layout.html
[15:04] <usr13> b0ef: That is a good question.  I would be interested to know the answer. (If there is one.)
[15:05] <b0ef> hipster-swede: right, but I need to install it via memory stick and I don't want to make one now
[15:05] <b0ef> I just want the packages with me on a memory stick
[15:05] <JoeBloggs> #drupal-support
[15:05] <JoeBloggs> bah
[15:05] <hipster-swede> Heinz_L_Maennche: thanks
[15:06] <Heinz_L_Maennche> hipster-swede, i hope this will help...looks much like a tweak instead of a nice way...but it should work
[15:07] <Heinz_L_Maennche> hipster-swede, maybe u should ask in #lubuntu chanel
[15:07] <mobius420> greetings ;]
[15:07] <hipster-swede> Heinz_L_Maennche: cheers
[15:07] <Heinz_L_Maennche> ;-)
[15:08] <mobius420> does anyone know of a biometric fingerprint scanner interface for ubuntu?
[15:08]  * mobius420 imagines being able to scan print for sudo in terminal 
[15:08] <mobius420> sigh
[15:08] <Heinz_L_Maennche> mobius420, don't trust fingerprint scanners!!
[15:08] <Heinz_L_Maennche> ^^
[15:09] <dr_willis> seems those fingerprint scanners were a popular gizmo for a while. but i dont recall seeing many laptops with them last week when i was looking in the stores.
[15:09] <Lofde> anyone have any success using LogMeIn Hamachi with ubuntu 11.04... i installed it according to a tutorial i found online, and it works when i first 'go online' itll stay green for a little while.. but then on my other system. i see the linux box flashing green...
[15:09] <dr_willis> This one came with some face-id-webcam software. :)  took 10x longer to login that wah then ysing a password
[15:09] <mobius420> it seems to work fine on a hrdware level
[15:09] <TheRedOctober> dr_willis: because they aren't very reliable.
[15:10] <mobius420> any documentation to that effect?  I use a lenovo t61 notebook
[15:10] <vandemar> dr_willis: they still make htem
[15:10] <escott> mobius420, what do you want to do with it
[15:11] <Heinz_L_Maennche> TheRedOctober, well i had a laptop with face recognision once...was really fast...but u just needed to put a photo of the user u want to lag in as in front of the camera
[15:11] <kFj> http://pastebin.com/M8iE28Rm how to fix this? got this after do-release-upgrade. so i uninstalled likewise-open..but still get this error when trying to install..
[15:11] <kFj> i can install other stuff with no problem
[15:11] <vandemar> skip it, set up a smartcard token if you want more security than a fingerprint
[15:11] <Heinz_L_Maennche> *log in^^
[15:11] <vandemar> and more than a pssword
[15:11] <mobius420> escott,  I imagined being able to simply scan my finger for interactions such as when I am prompted for a admin password in daily usage of my machine,  i.e.  updates, sudo command etc
[15:12] <mobius420> no big deal but i think it would be neat
[15:12] <mobius420> it's not really for *extra* security
[15:12] <mobius420> I use true crypt + cascade for data crypto
[15:12] <mobius420> i would not depend on such a novelty for real security
[15:13] <mobius420> so I def. dig where you guys are coming from ,  but understand I am actually just wondering if ubuntu supports the thing at all
[15:13] <Heinz_L_Maennche> mobius420, it is nice until u cut your finger or ur sensor breaks...and u'll probably get a lot of "could not read fingerprint" messages^^
[15:13] <escott> mobius420, im not sure about gksudo, i know you can modify the gdm pam rules to require or utilize the fprintd module for login. perhaps gksudo has a pam configuration somewhere. my experience with a bloomberg keyboard fingerprint scanner was that it was a serious PITA. I suspect you would change your mind as soon as you started using it
[15:13] <mobius420> Heinz_L_Maennche,  lulz
[15:14] <vandemar> mobius420: in order not to have too many false negatives, the parameters of the fingerprint reader are opened up substantially.  I think it's like 2-5% false positives as a result.  if you're okay with at least 1-2 out of 100 people being able to swipe their finger and get access, go ahead
[15:14] <mobius420> surely there could be a dual acceptance config. as in if the scanner was cracked or disabled that I could just type the password in manually yes?
[15:15] <mobius420> vandemar,  that is perfectly acceptable
[15:15] <mobius420> it's a development machine
[15:15] <mobius420> vandemar,  although i have to say those numers are a bit startling
[15:15] <mobius420> I was not aware the technology was so weak
[15:16] <mobius420> it's an older laptop and I know they were popular for a time,  and then they kind of just disappeared
[15:16] <escott> mobius420, there was a blog entry about that for gdm on planet gnome yesterday. you can have it fail over to password if the fingerprint fails, or try parallel pam stacks and allow fingerprint OR password in the latest gdm test branch. but again its a bit of a waste of time, having to try your fingerprint x many times and then being allowed to use your password anyways
[15:16] <mobius420> escott,  the whole idea is not to add more security, it's to streamline the act of entering the password
[15:17] <mobius420> theres nothing secure or even private about this machine
[15:17] <vandemar> change your password to "a" then :)
[15:17] <Heinz_L_Maennche> mobius420, from my experience using such fingerprint readers is pretty annoying...they just don't work that well...
[15:17] <ayush_> why is that a simple hello world c program compiles without error through gcc in terminal, but when i try to run in it anjuta, it throws an error?
[15:17] <escott> mobius420, if you wanted you could just remove the password requirement for that user to sudo
[15:18] <mobius420> arg....
[15:18] <mobius420> okay
[15:18] <Heinz_L_Maennche> but if i want to use it...i am sure there is a way
[15:18] <mobius420> thanks for the information
[15:18] <escott> mobius420, pam will allow that. it would be like the live cd. you say "sudo" to run something as root. no password required
[15:19] <stretchmark> hi guys, how can I have an X app starting with width maximized and height preset ?
[15:19] <dr_willis> stretchmark,  theres compiz plugins that can do that.
[15:19] <escott> some people come up with the craziest ideas... why would you jump to fingerprint reader instead of adding NOPASSWD to your sudoers file?
[15:20] <dr_willis> i would have to wonder what if you diodent have the window selected that was wanting the password.. what would happen
[15:20] <belgani> hello
[15:20] <stretchmark> dr_willis: no chance to do I via a config file ?
[15:21] <mrdeb> is gnome 3 incompatible with compiz
[15:21] <mrdeb> and unity
[15:21] <stretchmark> s/I/it
[15:21] <dr_willis> stretchmark,  its a feature of the window manager
[15:21] <escott> stretchmark, no its in the window manager. you need the matching plugin in ccsm iirc
[15:21] <dr_willis> stretchmark,  devilspie can proberldo it also.
[15:21] <belgani> ive a little problem with sound in ubuntu 10.04
[15:21] <escott> mrdeb, yes it uses mutter
[15:21] <belgani> could anyone help me plz
[15:21] <dr_willis> but that can be a picky program
[15:21] <dasei> mrdeb: no, but g3 is beta still so own risk
[15:21] <escott> !gnome3 | mrdeadlocked
[15:22] <escott> !gnome3 | mrdeb
[15:22] <dasei> escott: on my vm (2d though) g3 works with unity in parallel, not so in native 3d ?
[15:22] <mrdeb> dasei: gnome 3 is out of beta
[15:23] <qknight_> i have uninstalled network-manager and configured /etc/network/interafces properly but after a reboot no interface of my two interfaces has an ip assigned. after i execute ifup eth0; ifup eth1 it is working. how do i automate this? (i'm on ubuntu 10.10)
[15:24] <escott> dasei, iirc thats just not possible unless you mean the 10.10 version of unity. they system libraries all conflict because of gtk2 and gtk3
[15:24] <mrdeb> why does networkmanager ask for authentic but wicd does not
[15:25] <mrdeb> wicd is so much simpler
[15:25] <escott> mrdeb, gnome3 is in oneric (because unity is gtk3 based) currently it works but there are no gtk3 themes so the applications are ugly, but the shell works fine
[15:25] <vandemar> ubunto caches authentication for a little while
[15:25] <mrdeb> why are there no themes
[15:25] <mrdeb> gnome 3 should wokr as well as gnome 2 right now but it doesnt
[15:25] <qknight_> i might have forgotten: auto eth0 ....
[15:26] <escott> mrdeb, they just haven't packaged them yet. if you can hold out until october everything should be ok for gnome3 in ubuntu
[15:27] <alienmindtrick> i keep getting this error when i run Update Manager:  W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

[15:27] <alienmindtrick> what do i do?

[15:33] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[15:34] <Tetracomm> Could someone help me to get my microphone to work in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS? I tried connecting both the microphone and the mp3 player output to the microphone jack on the computer but it won't work, and Skype has the same problem.
[15:34] <newbeee> I get a 404 error upon visiting http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[15:35] <newbeee> After installing lamp
[15:35] <theadmin> newbeee: lamp does not include pma
[15:35] <Pici> newbeee: Did you install phpmyadmin?
[15:35] <newbeee> Tetracomm have you tried the alsamixer
[15:35] <coz_> newbeee,  same here  I dont have lamp
[15:35] <coz_> newbeee,   sorry   wasnt paying attention
[15:35] <newbeee> yes I installed that too sorry forgot to mention
[15:35] <newbeee> Tetracomm: DId you try alsamixer
[15:35] <pksadiq> Tetracomm: right click volume applet > sound preferences > Input > select the working connector
[15:36] <Tetracomm> newbeee: How do I open the alsamixer again?
[15:36] <Tetracomm> pksadiq: That didn't work.
[15:36] <escott> Tetracomm, open a terminal and type alsamixer
[15:36] <newbeee> again go to terminal and type alsamixer
[15:36] <Heinz_L_Maennche> Tetracomm, had the same problem...pulse-audio did not work for me...i uninstalled it and use als instead
[15:36] <Heinz_L_Maennche> *alsa
[15:37] <xamox> is it possible to build a 32bit deb on a 64 machine?
[15:37] <escott> Tetracomm, hit tab to go to input. make sure capture is at 100% and kick the mic boost up to the max
[15:37] <pksadiq> !chroot
[15:37] <Pici> newbeee: check to see if you a symlink to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d/
[15:37] <newbeee> a what?? sorry pici i dint understand
[15:38] <Pici> newbeee: Please pastebin the output of the following:  ls -l /etc/apache2/conf.d/
[15:38] <escott> xamox, yes and no. you can run 32bit applications on 64bit. installing a 32bit deb someone else built won't work. and building a 32bit deb for someone else probably wouldnt work
[15:38] <Pici> !pastebin|  newbeee
[15:38] <xamox> escott, Ok, I came across some article talking about ialib32 or something like that.
[15:39] <newbeee> Pici: What am I supposed to do?I dint understand
[15:39] <xamox> escott, Can I build it in a 32bit Virtual Machine instead?
[15:39] <Pici> newbeee: Open a terminal.  Type; ls -l /etc/apache2/conf.d/
[15:39] <newbeee> ok
[15:39] <Pici> newbeee: And then paste the output of that to http://paste.ubuntu.com and give me the url
[15:39] <escott> xamox, right. the challenge is all these compatibility libs. a true 32bit system won't have them. so im not sure what would happen if you tried to install something that was possibly linking to them. a vm is your best bet
[15:40] <Tetracomm> Heinz_L_maennche: Do i have to uninstall pulseaudio?
[15:40] <alienmindtrick> how do i fix this:  i keep getting this error when i run Update Manager:  W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[15:40] <alienmindtrick>  , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[15:41] <newbeee> Pici: The url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/627997/
[15:41] <Pici> alienmindtrick: Remove the repository, it looks like the PPA was deleted.
[15:41] <xamox> escott, right on, thanks
[15:41] <escott> Pici, alienmindtrick don't do that it will break your system
[15:42] <Pici> newbeee: Okay. Type this: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[15:42] <Pici> escott: Feel free to continue with alienmindtrick then.
[15:42] <Heinz_L_Maennche> Tetracomm, afaik u don't have to...you might as well just disable it or tell certain programs to use alsa instead...
[15:43] <Pici> newbeee: Then restart apache: sudo service apache2 restart
[15:43] <newbeee> ok
[15:43] <newbeee> just a minute
[15:43] <newbeee> yes done
[15:43] <Pici> newbeee: Browse to https://localhost/phpmyadmin/
[15:44] <Tetracomm> Heinz_L_maennche: How do I disable it?
[15:44] <newbeee> Wow its working Pici could you just give me an idea what was the problem
[15:44] <Pici> newbeee: The configuration file that tells apache that phpmyadmin exists wasn't being included.
[15:45] <Stormshadow> hi all.. question: What can i do to avoid partitioning a hardisk but still have several file systems containing unique data?
[15:45] <pythonirc101> I would like to club a few ubuntu boxes to store large number of files redundanty (10TB total space). What is a good software to use for this?
[15:45] <newbeee> Pici: hmmm ok thank you
[15:46] <th0r> Stormshadow: you mean you want to divide your hard drive into several pieces without dividing your hard drive into several pieces?
[15:46] <Heinz_L_Maennche> Tetracomm, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#PulseAudio%20Removal
[15:46] <Stormshadow> without partitioning
[15:46] <alienmindtrick> escott: so yes or no to remove repository?
[15:46] <Stormshadow> for eg. creating multiple vdisks using dd
[15:46] <DasEi> Stormshadow: you could use containers. like truecrypt
[15:46] <th0r> Stormshadow: no, you create multiple vdisks using virtualbox
[15:47] <Stormshadow> would creating file blobs via dd and mounting them as loop dev's make sense?
[15:47] <Pici> Stormshadow: I was just going to suggest that, it should work.
[15:47] <faizul> hi elky
[15:47] <Stormshadow> what is more efficient?
[15:48] <DasEi> Stormshadow: yes, dd- iso like with mounts, too
[15:48] <ikonia> Stormshadow: if they are images of a disk, with a valid partition table, sure
[15:48] <vandemar> loopback mounting also
[15:49] <DasEi> escott: sorry for delay, had to re-check, works here, natty vm with gnome3 2d, can still switch surfaces
[15:49] <Stormshadow> i mean for a dd system, one would need to mount the host partition and then mount the blob as loop. The dd blob mount is avoided when using partitions directly;
[15:50] <pythonirc101> anyone using lustre, gpfs, hdfs, gfs or any such variants on ubuntu here?
[15:51] <Stormshadow> im looking for best efficiency - whether to create "n" partitions or 1 partition with "n" dd blobs
[15:52] <BarryB> is it possible to set up my linux computer as a Access Point?
[15:52] <DasEi> Storm: extended/lvm is the most common way
[15:52] <ikonia> Stormshadow: what do you mean by "blobs"
[15:52] <DasEi> BarryB: yes
[15:52] <DasEi> !ics
[15:52] <vandemar> pythonirc101: look at mogilefs too: http://danga.com/mogilefs/
[15:53] <BarryB> i want to wireshark my android phone for a BOT?
[15:53] <Stormshadow> blob meaning a dd binary file
[15:53] <ikonia> BarryB: BOT ?
[15:53] <quotenpessimist> does somebody know a bit.ly client for the terminal?
[15:53] <BarryB> malware on my phone
[15:54] <BarryB> botnet
[15:54] <ikonia> BarryB: you think someone is running a botnet on your phone ?
[15:54] <Pici> BarryB: What does this have to do with Ubuntu?
[15:54] <BarryB> or was installed
[15:54] <BarryB> btu yes, im blacklistedf fropm an irc channel cause of it
[15:54] <zortog> Hello, I have a very silly question. I was trying to get my integrated webcam to work so I downloaded 'webcam' and 'fswebcam'. When I ran them the light next to the cam popped on but there was no gui that came up. Now I haven't the foggiest how to shut the cam off. Can someone help me please?
[15:55] <BarryB> i wanna set up a WAP on ubuntu
[15:55] <DasEi> zortog: try cheese
[15:55] <ikonia> BarryB: we are not going to help you bypass the blocking
[15:55] <DasEi> !info cheese | zortrog
[15:55] <BarryB> i got removed from blacklist btu theres def some malware on ym phone doign stuff
[15:55] <pythonirc101> vandemar: are you using it?
[15:56] <vandemar> pythonirc101: no
[15:56] <Pici> BarryB: Then you should seek help in the android channel first.
[15:56] <ikonia> BarryB: the guys in #android can help you solve that
[15:56] <BarryB> so i want to set up Acces poitn on ubuntu, and wireshark my phones traffic?
[15:56] <Pici> BarryB: I suppose that would work.
[15:56] <pythonirc101> I wish there was someone who was using a multi-machine storage sharing system here
[15:56] <pythonirc101> I need something like that and could use some help
[15:56] <BarryB> Pici: look for unauthorized traffic
[15:57] <BarryB> anythign but TCP/UD[P and ICMP
[15:57] <Pici> pythonirc101: You might be able to find someone in #ubuntu-server perhaps.
[15:57] <ikonia> Pici: won't it be encypted ?
[15:57] <pythonirc101> Thanks Pici
[15:57] <BarryB> IM NTO SECURE
[15:57] <BarryB> oops cap lock
[15:57] <tham> quotenpessimist, Not sure, but I came across this which shortens as goo.gl links. Perhaps this can be adapted. http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/5182/google-url-shortener
[15:58] <ikonia> tham: that's useful, thank you
[15:58] <zortog> Thank you all very much!
[15:58] <tham> ikonia, you're welcome
[15:58] <DasEi> zortog: cheese, :)
[15:59] <Pici> ikonia: Over the air it'll be encrypted, but it should be somewhat unecrypted after the ap grabs it
[16:00] <ikonia> Pici: I'm not sure what happens first, eg: where the decypt happens
[16:00] <quotenpessimist> tham: thanks for the link. i will give it a try

[16:06] <fosstux> Hi! I had installed Kubuntu 11.04 some time ago and I've today switched to Gnome. 2 Questions: How can I change the Kubuntu boot screen to the ubuntu boot screen? and how can I remove kde completely?
[16:06] <fosstux> It's a permanent switsch....
[16:06] <Lofde> fosstux format and reinstall ubuntu :P
[16:06] <fosstux> is there no other way?
[16:06] <Lofde> i am sure there is hehe
[16:07] <DasEi> fosstux: install gdm instead of kdm
[16:07] <Lofde> I very much dislike unity
[16:07] <omegaphi> hi, what's the command to start mysql server on ubuntu 10?
[16:07] <fosstux> I mean the screen before the gdm
[16:07] <e-DIO-t> service mysql start
[16:07] <e-DIO-t> or however /etc/init.d/mysql start
[16:08] <maalac>  ikonia: http://pastebin.com/3Bx12RuX
[16:08] <tham> fosstux, Run the command under "Removing Kubuntu" in this page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[16:08] <tham> fosstux, that will remove kde completely and install gnome
[16:08] <Heinz_L_Maennche> fosstux, sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop

[16:15] <amit2011> my volume indicator is not there
[16:15] <Blarumyrran> Hello. What's a fast way to close all windows on a workspace?
[16:15] <amit2011> how to recover the panel??
[16:15] <vandemar> Blarumyrran: reset button
[16:15] <amit2011> volume indicator
[16:15] <tham> aguitel, Perhaps installing this may be what you need: plymouth-x11
[16:15] <vaxinated> Blarumyrram: log out
[16:16] <vandemar> logging out is slower :)
[16:16] <Blarumyrran> vandemar, vaxinated I mean workspace as in, the thing that you have 4 of in the bottom right corner
[16:17] <amit2011> my volume indicator is not there
[16:17] <Blarumyrran> amit2011, "indicator applet"
[16:17] <amit2011> any1 has any idea
[16:17] <Chotaz> I need to find my root password, how can do so?
[16:18] <IdleOne> !root
[16:18] <amit2011> Blarumyrran: thanks
[16:18] <Heinz_L_Maennche> fosstux, then u might use the solution tham suggested...that should work no matter what^^
[16:18] <newbeee> can anyone suggest me a service that provides a domain name for hosting on your home server
[16:19] <Blarumyrran> vandemar, vaxinated, so is there some good way to close all applications on ONE of those workspaces?
[16:19] <ikonia> newbeee: buy a domain name
[16:19] <compdoc> dyndns.org
[16:19] <DasEi> newbee: see compdoc ^
[16:19] <newbeee> ikonia: Maybe any free services
[16:19] <ikonia> newbeee: you can't get domains for free, you have to buy one
[16:20] <amit2011> also I cant enable desktop cube .. it breaks windows decorations in Mint 1
[16:20] <amit2011> any idea?
[16:20] <compdoc> you can get domains for free - but you cant name it whatever you want
[16:20] <ikonia> amit2011: ask the mint support channel
[16:20] <ikonia> !mint > amit2011
[16:20] <tham> Chotaz, Are you talking about your personal computer, of which the root password you've forgotten?
[16:20] <newbeee> compoc: dydns is that reliable because while registering their mail came into my spam folder in gmail with a warning
[16:21] <maalac> hi ikonia . i pastebin the error http://pastebin.com/3Bx12RuX
[16:21] <edent> udev question.  Can a udev rule run xinput commands?
[16:21] <compdoc> newbeee, very reliable
[16:21] <DasEi> newbee: it's fine
[16:21] <newbeee> Ok thanx guys Iam just doing it for learning and fun...Anyway thanx
[16:22] <pohandle> I understand that the EXT4 filesystem keeps files generally contiguous, but are directories also generally contiguous?
[16:22] <ikonia> maalac: the problem is you have conflicting packages from different repos
[16:22] <DasEi> newbee: for a basic server hostname-resolution all is served free, just higher demands they will charge  for
[16:22] <ikonia> maalac: you also have a mirror down, ubuntu-mirror.fc.hp.com is not responding
[16:22] <Chotaz> rather I need to know my MySQL root password, though it'd be the same, jsut instaleld lampp and need to create a new database
[16:22] <maalac> hmm.. ok ..i'll go change my package mirror ..
[16:23] <Alvo> hi, i installed new ubuntu 11 gnome, but some tray icons are hidden, i cannot open running skype and some other are inaccessible too? how can i get them?
[16:23] <edent> Anyone know if I can do a RUN+="/usr/bin xinput " in udev?
[16:23] <Pici> Chotaz: It should have prompted you to setup a mysql root password when you installed mysql.
[16:23] <Chotaz> I installed lampp package
[16:23] <Pici> Chotaz: From where?
[16:24] <Chotaz> apachefriends website
[16:24] <pohandle> Are directories generally contiguous using EXT4?
[16:24] <Chotaz> i tried running lampp security but it says the password's already set and wont elt em change it
[16:24] <Pici> Chotaz: Then you should consult their site for help.  We do not support XAMPP installs here, only those done via our own lamp stack.
[16:24] <Chotaz> Pici, how can I switch is up?
[16:25] <DasEi> pohandle: partitons are, for some time now, /boot is often still 2 or 3 though
[16:25] <DasEi> i*
[16:25] <vandemar> Chotaz: restart mysqld with --skip-grant-tables then reset the password then stop and restart mysqld normally
[16:25] <aguitel> how to show text during boot ,restart,shutdown process ?
[16:25] <DasEi> pohandle: and swap oc, is swap-fs
[16:25] <pohandle> DasEi: I understand that the partitions are, but I am wondering about directories
[16:26] <RA_drc> hi, i used wubi to install ubuntu on my windows machine, but ubuntu isn't showing up in my boot menu.  what's wrong?
[16:26] <vandemar> Chotaz: if it's world accessible add --skip-networking as wel so nobody can use mysql meanwhile
[16:26] <DasEi> pohandle: same as the partition is
[16:26] <pohandle> DasEi: for example files A, B, and C are in the same directory, but might not be contiguous on the drive
[16:27] <pohandle> DasEi: I see, Thank you :)
[16:27] <lee__> what's the meaning of "$?==1"
[16:27] <DasEi> pohandle: if you copy over from let's say a file from a ntfs-hd, it gets stored on ubuntu in ext4
[16:28] <aguitel> how to show only text during boot ,restart,shutdown process ?
[16:28] <Chotaz> Pici i've uninstalled lampp, how can I install from ubuntu's lamp stack?
[16:28] <DasEi> pohandle: contigous is about defragmentation
[16:28] <pohandle> DasEi: I understand now :)  I wanted to see if I could reduce the amount of seeks when accessing files
[16:29] <Pici> Chotaz: sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[16:29] <Chotaz> tasksel not found
[16:29] <Pici> Chotaz: Are you running Ubuntu?
[16:29] <Chotaz> yes
[16:29] <Chotaz> 11.04
[16:30] <Pici> Chotaz: Install tasksel first then. sudo apt-get install tasksel
[16:30] <DasEi> pohandle: you should (e2)fsck the UNmounted drive from time to time, also see man tune2fs
[16:31] <RA_drc> !wubi
[16:31] <pohandle> DasEi: I frequently 'fsck -D -f' my partition.  I will have a look a tune2fs
[16:31] <DasEi> pohandle: the latter lets you set how often a full file check is run, if you do much filing with lil' diskspace left only, might be handy
[16:31] <Chotaz> Pici, so tasksel adds a nice TUI to instalations?
[16:31] <RA_drc> hi, i used wubi to install ubuntu on my windows machine, but ubuntu isn't showing up in my boot menu.  what's wrong?
[16:32] <theadmin> Chotaz: lol, TUI. That's called CLI, dude
[16:32] <Chotaz> I just arbitrairly named it TUI lol
[16:33] <coz_> Chotaz,  I like like t hat  T-ext U-ser I-interface
[16:33] <pohandle> DasEi: I see. Thank you for your help
[16:33] <coz_> Chotaz,  I will now always use t hat :)
[16:33] <theadmin> Chotaz: But no, tasksel is just a tool to handle metapackages/"tasks"
[16:33] <DasEi> pohandle:defrag on mounted drives is on it's way for ext4, but for now not yet implemented, also there are other systems like btfrs, if you have a night to spend ;)
[16:33] <Chotaz> coz_ more like Terminal User Interface, if that even makes sense
[16:34] <coz_> Chotaz,  that too :)
[16:34] <DasEi> defrag*
[16:34] <Chotaz> not sure if it got stuck configuring mysql server if it's just longer than I expected

[16:38] <escott> mallet, verify the version of grub you have installed matches that of the documentation. sounds like a grub 1 vs grub 2 issue
[16:39] <DasEi> mallet: that's an outdated tut (hardy, grub1), why not just use the netinstaller iso ?
[16:39] <tham> savid, cool! Thanks for sharing.
[16:39] <mallet> escott: there is an entry for grub2 in the page (updated last year)
[16:39] <DasEi> !netinstall | mallet
[16:39] <DasEi> !minimal | mallet
[16:40] <mallet> DasEi: because I did not find another way with USB
[16:40] <mallet> DasEi: without USB, I mean
[16:40] <DasEi> mallet: get minimal-iso and unetbootin to bring it to usb, works from window, too
[16:40] <DasEi> windows*
[16:40] <Chotaz> Pici, it got stuck installing mysql server
[16:41] <Pici> Chotaz: Stuck how?
[16:41] <Chotaz> its been for 8 mins at 80%
[16:41] <Chotaz> wont go further
[16:41] <Pici> Chotaz: What is it doing?
[16:41] <mallet> DasEi: I am under Ubuntu already (I want to reinstall 10.10 because 11.04 is too buggy). But I cannot make my USB key bootable. :(
[16:41] <Chotaz> install mysql-server5.1
[16:42] <DasEi> mallet: get minimal-iso and unetbootin to bring it to usb, if you want netinstall, or even 10.04 for :
[16:42] <DasEi> !lts
[16:42] <martian> Where did the XDMCP and other such options all go from the login CP?
[16:42] <aguitel> how to show text during boot ,restart,shutdown process ?
[16:43] <DasEi> mallet: same for regular cd, though I can't gurantee that a alpha-release does all fine
[16:43] <Pici> Chotaz: Can you pastebin what it looks like right now?
[16:43] <DasEi> aguitel: edit /etc/default/grub as root, make spash=""
[16:44] <Lofde> if i cant get hamachi to work on ubuntu is there anything else out there like it?
[16:44] <Chotaz> Pici, gimme 2 secs
[16:44] <DasEi> aguitel: a sudo update-grub after saving might come in hand, too
[16:44] <RU-XerYuS> Thinkpad x120e to dualboot Windows 7 Home x64 with Ubuntu 11.04 x64... any good howtos. Ive tried but grub isn't recognized (or something to that effect). I've seen successful posts stating a pae kernel but cant seem to find documentation.
[16:45] <aguitel> DasEi, change this line? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[16:45] <mallet> DasEi: Just for information, 10.10 is very good, for what I do. In 11.04 on my laptop, no sound (alsa not working...), no rotation of screen (xorg known bug, which has a fix in launchpad, but ...), no output to projectors (probably xorg again), slower boot compared to 10.10, difficulties to mount USB keys, ...
[16:46] <escott> aguitel, yes
[16:46] <DasEi> aguitel: yupp to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[16:46] <DasEi> mallet: fine then
[16:46] <aguitel> DasEi, ok
[16:46] <mallet> DasEi: Thank you for the pointers, I will see what is unetbootin
[16:46] <Chotaz> Pici, now the terminal just closed when I try running again it says aptitute failed(100)
[16:46] <escott> RU-XerYuS, don't know anything about x120e but grub not being recognized and a pae kernel are completely different things. what is happening when you try to boot
[16:47] <DasEi> !info unetbootin | mallet
[16:47] <hirogen> can install ubuntu to fix a bcd error when trying to install image of windows over the network via pxe,
[16:47] <RU-XerYuS> os not found if I remember... then I bailed. Win 7 is slow & ubuntu has pointed that out. I want Ubuntu! woohoo!
[16:48] <hirogen> lol
[16:48] <DasEi> hirogen: pxe-boot of windows ? #windows rather
[16:48] <hirogen> yah
[16:49] <escott> RU-XerYuS, if grub is saying it can't find the os, I would try reinstalling grub. see !grub. see if you can get the exact error message
[16:49] <hirogen> im jsut wonering if ubuntu would fix the mbr/boot config etc
[16:49] <DasEi> hirogen: I don't have experience there, how did you set up, kickstart ?
[16:49] <RU-XerYuS> Thanks, will keep better notes and be back... thanks for response
[16:49] <prod___> Hi all, Im curious about the flexibility of shutting down my ubuntu server. I am currently considering buying a remote access card for my server. The DRAC uses a pci interface. So my question is: Is there a way to shutdown my system but not the PSU? If i am misunderstanding a DRAC then i apologise in advance.
[16:49] <hirogen> whats kickstart
[16:50] <DasEi> !info kickstart | hirogen
[16:50] <SkeGeek> I need assistance allowing my user account permissions to create/edit/delete files owned by www-data
[16:50] <itilious> if i run lsusb,,, is theformat "vendorID:DeviceID"?
[16:50] <DasEi> hirogen: it's an utility to setup network-based booting
[16:50] <escott> SkeGeek, add the user to the group shown in ls -l www-data
[16:51] <Dev-el> hey, guys...i am trying to access my ex-hard-drive, it keeps telling me that i am not permitted, so i tried running <gksu nautlius>, nothing changed.
[16:51] <itilious> as in 040a:05b6 <-- the vendor ID is 040a right?
[16:51] <DasEi> !info system-config-kickstart | hirogen
[16:51] <SkeGeek> I'm trying to find the right command to do that.
[16:51] <hirogen>  !info kickstart
[16:51] <hirogen> ok
[16:52] <escott> SkeGeek, usermod -aG groupname username
[16:52] <DasEi> hirogen: see above, but I really can't say how that handles win
[16:52] <hirogen> ok
[16:52] <SkeGeek> That won't remove the user from it's current group will it?
[16:52] <escott> SkeGeek, thats what the a is for (append)
[16:52] <SkeGeek> Ahh ok
[16:53] <theadmin> SkeGeek: Another way is "adduser USERNAME GROUP"
[16:55] <hellomai> #ubuntu
[16:55] <hellomai> hello
[16:55] <hellomai> I'm chinaese
[16:55] <knute> irc.freenode.net
[16:55] <escott> !cn | hellomai
[16:56] <hirogen> any japanease channels

[16:56] <hellomai> #ubuntu-cn
[16:56] <hirogen> you think they are actaully japeanse ppl who speak english?
[16:56] <escott> hellomai, "/join #ubuntu-cn"
[16:57] <mallet> unetbootin has essentially no manpage and cannot see the files in my $HOME!
[16:58] <theadmin> mallet: It can, however don't forget it runs as root. Navigate to your home folder manually, please
[16:59] <hellomai> ok
[17:00] <theadmin> mallet: Confused me too :D
[17:00] <mallet> theadmin: luckily I am root on the computer. I ran it as root, but no change. What do you mean by "navigate [...] manually"?
[17:01] <theadmin> mallet: Well, uhm, go to, like, "root folder" -> "home" -> "your username"
[17:01] <theadmin> mallet: Cause /root is normally empty
[17:01] <theadmin> mallet: (which is the root's home folder)
[17:02] <Chotaz> When I try removed lamp-server with tasksel I get 'aptitude failed(100)' how can I work around this?
[17:03] <siddhantchd> hey guys need help with ubuntu ,,, i m getting the grub> prompt when i boot
[17:03] <siddhantchd> i had installed windows 7 which removed the grub
[17:03] <DasEi> !grub
[17:04] <siddhantchd> when i restored it using live cd it started giving me that error
[17:04] <DasEi> siddhantchd: did you chroot from live cd ?
[17:04] <siddhantchd> nope
[17:04] <siddhantchd> i followed the guide that on ubuntu foroms
[17:04] <mallet> theadmin: yes, I did that /home/... but it fails in my home!! (which is under NFS, maybe this is why....)
[17:04] <escott> siddhantchd, you likely did something wrong during that restore. try the restore again and ask questions if you have any concerns
[17:05] <siddhantchd> okie
[17:05] <escott> siddhantchd, follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[17:05] <theadmin> mallet: Oh, could as well be, try moving the file to some "normal" filesystem
[17:05] <DasEi> siddhantchd: so either follow second sentence in upper link or d/l supergrubdisk > version 1, and boot in old ubuntu, then re-install grub2
[17:08] <stimpie> My system freezes (with 1 second looping sound) about once a week, I cannot find anything in the log around the time of the crash. Any one with ideas how to troubleshoot?
[17:08] <aleph-2> gthumb doesn't seem to remember how i have my pictures sorted between each time i run it, is that a bug or a "feature"?
[17:09] <edbian> p
[17:09] <mallet> theadmin: yes, that's it. unetbootin cannot read NFS apparently...
[17:13] <bullgard4> What is the effect of pressing the F12 key in GNOME 2 Compiz?
[17:13] <Dobuntu> Does anyone have any advise for dealing with random black screen (freeze) issues?  About 1.5 to 2 weeks ago my system started randomly crashing to black screen and will accept no input.  I have to turn power off at the power supply and re-start to get past it.  It corrupts databases so it has stopped me from doing my work.
[17:13] <ikonia> bullgard4: press F12 and find out
[17:14] <bullgard4> ikonia: Your message is not helpful.
[17:14] <escott> bullgard4, i doubt it is mapped to anything as guake likes to install itself to f12
[17:14] <ikonia> bullgard4: it is, press F12 and find out what it does, it won't be anything dangerous
[17:15] <bullgard4> escott: Ok. Thank you.
[17:15] <maco> ikonia: unless bullgard is using kde
[17:15] <rly> My audio doesn't work in Flash in my browsers. Otherwise audio works fine.
[17:15] <ikonia> maco: well, as he said compiz and gnome-3-fallback, I assumed he wasn't
[17:15] <rly> Video also works OK.
[17:15] <allballs> Quick question: How would I go about installing 10.04's ghostscript package on an 8.04 box?
[17:16] <rly> allballs: you build it from source.
[17:16] <allballs> rly: no backporting options?
[17:16] <RA_drc> hi, i used wubi to install ubuntu on my windows machine, but ubuntu isn't showing up in my boot menu.  what's wrong?
[17:16] <rly> allballs: unlikely, but possible.
[17:16] <rly> allballs: building software is easy.
[17:16] <allballs> oh, i know. I can build deb's with the best of em'
[17:17] <allballs> i'll give it a go.
[17:17] <allballs> thanks.
[17:17] <Los7puppy> anyone know how to clock your ip when using irc? or is that not allowed?
[17:17] <ikonia> Los7puppy: "clock" ? your ip
[17:17] <Los7puppy> cloak*
[17:17] <rly> I also get messages like this: atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xbe on isa0060/serio0).
[17:18] <ikonia> Los7puppy: as the guys in #freenode for a cloak, read the documentation on freenode.net first though
[17:19] <Los7puppy> ty
[17:19] <semeion> Los7puppy: join in #freenode channel and ask for "host cloak"
[17:20] <notNicolas> When I download something via the software manager, how am I supposed to know where to find it?
[17:21] <henrik-_> All righty guys.. Trying to install Moblock on my server, and it says I should run 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa'. However, that command is not found
[17:21] <henrik-_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[17:21] <escott> notNicolas, software center will install it for you. if it is a cli program remember the name of the program and try to use tab completion
[17:21] <henrik-_> Is it an optional package I have to install?
[17:22] <dreamchaser> do u guys know during installation of ubuntu desktop, if i choose to encrypt my home folder, is the swap encrypted too?
[17:22] <notNicolas> escott: I downloaded a set of html pages for the documentation of C++ standard library files, but I can't find them.
[17:22] <escott> notNicolas, likely in /usr/share
[17:23] <notNicolas> I don't even know what to start typing for tab completion.
[17:23] <Pici> notNicolas: dpkg -L packagename   is often helpful
[17:23] <escott> notNicolas, use the locate tool
[17:23] <K-4U> biw
[17:23] <K-4U> ik kom wel op de live distro
[17:24] <Pici> !nl | K-4U
[17:24] <K-4U> Oops.. damn, sorry xD

[17:30] <mikewasoskyyyyy> i'm the one with the wireless problem
[17:30] <tensorpudding> bil21al: what do you mean by "where is it"
[17:30] <henrik-_> All righty guys.. Trying to install Moblock on my server, and it says I should run 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa'. However, that command is not found -- do I have to install it manually? The guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[17:30] <mbird2011> please pm if you can help! I am trying to connect to my wireless network using an AE1000 lynksys usb wireless adapter. I can see the adapter is loaded under lsusb, but when I type sudo lshw -C network it says "PCI sysfs"
[17:30] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: iwconfig |pastebinit
[17:31] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: are you sure you spelled add-apt-repository correctly?
[17:31] <bil21al> tensorpudding i dnt knw where is it? i want to open libre office through it? i mean how can i open file manager in ubuntu?
[17:31] <henrik-_> tensorpudding: I copy/pasted it, so I'm pretty sure it should be correct, but will double-check
[17:31] <tensorpudding> bil21al: are you using unity?
[17:32] <bil21al> tensorpudding; yes
[17:32] <mikewasoskyyyyy> usr13: then i'll paste it here?
[17:32] <tensorpudding> bil21al: do you see the home folder in the launcher?
[17:32] <tensorpudding> bil21al: it'll be at the top
[17:32] <usr13> bil21al: You don't access applications via the file manager, you access files and directories via the file manager.
[17:33] <bil21al> thank u
[17:33] <drake01> anybody using fglrx (ati-radeon 5470) with ubuntu 11.04 dell laptop and facing increased brightness at each boot
[17:33] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[17:33] <henrik-_> tensorpudding: Double and triple checked, still nothing. Seems like I didn't get that package with Ubuntu 11.04 server?!
[17:33] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: No
[17:33] <tensorpudding> bil21al: it's just a program, it's called nautilus, try searching for it in the dash
[17:33] <SitFly> I'm trying to find a fix for my Atheros AR9285 Wireless card to be able to use my Android's wireless internet but I'm having a lot of trouble. Anyone have ideas?
[17:33] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: Well, yea, the URL Paste it here.
[17:33] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: maybe...i don't use server
[17:34] <mikewasoskyyyyy> yeah ok

[17:34] <Jaded> Hi.
[17:34] <mbird2011> please pm if you can help! I am trying to connect to my wireless network using an AE1000 lynksys usb wireless adapter. I can see the adapter is loaded under lsusb, but when I type sudo lshw -C network it says "PCI sysfs"
[17:34] <ghoulsblade> hi all, trying to install 11.04 (natty, 64bit), but stuck at keyboard layout select, forward button disabled no matter what i select. found a bunch of people having the same problem but no solution so far, anyone know what to do ? (still seeing the dialog on my other pc)
[17:35] <metbsd> what is ubuntu server edition?
[17:35] <Jaded> what's the easiest way to remove IceWM if i want to try a different windows manager?
[17:35] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: i can't think of what package that would be though
[17:35] <tunafish> <noob here: so i have a question about the default file paths
[17:35] <drake01> @ghoulsblade: faced this problem when i burned ubuntu 11.04 using ubuntu disk creator. It did not happen when used usb creator  tool on windows..
[17:35] <oCean> !server | metbsd
[17:35] <tunafish> What is the structure to the home directory?
[17:35] <SitFly> metbsd, server edition is a distro of linux that is designed as a server over a network
[17:35] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: It looks as though there are two wireless devices.
[17:36] <tensorpudding> tunafish: structure to the home directory?
[17:36] <mikewasoskyyyyy> ok the wlan1 is the correct one
[17:36] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: Do they show up in network-manager?
[17:36] <henrik-_> tensorpudding: Exactly.. I just have to do it the manual way I guess.
[17:36] <tunafish> yes
[17:36] <mikewasoskyyyyy> yes but in grey
[17:36] <tensorpudding> tunafish: i don't know what you mean?
[17:36] <tunafish> like what's the path to my downloads folder
[17:36] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: just a moment
[17:37] <tensorpudding> tunafish: ~/Downloads
[17:37] <mikewasoskyyyyy> wireless network ( zyxel... ) but not editable ( it was until before the reboot )
[17:37] <tunafish> so just use the home directory shortcut?
[17:37] <escott> tunafish, there is a file .config/user-dirs.dirs which lists them
[17:38] <tensorpudding> tunafish: well, that path isn't absolute, because it uses ~
[17:38] <FalseProphet> ok guys i have a wierd issue
[17:39] <tensorpudding> tunafish: the full path would be /home/tunafish/Downloads, assuming your user was named tunafish
[17:39] <FalseProphet> my shift keys don't work anymore
[17:39] <tunafish> thanks
[17:39] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: okay, i used dpkg -S to figure out what package had that program
[17:39] <FalseProphet> they both failed at the same time so i think its software
[17:39] <henrik-_> FalseProphet: JUST USE CAPS LOCK, MUCH EASIER TO WRITE
[17:39] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: you need to install python-software-properties
[17:39] <henrik-_> tensorpudding: That's fantastic, thanks!
[17:39] <FalseProphet> henrik-_,  THAT WORKS BUT I NEED TO GET TO THE PIOUND SIGN AND THE QUESTION MARK TOO
[17:40] <henrik-_> £ ?
[17:40] <henrik-_> Copy and paste. Problem solved.
[17:40] <henrik-_> ;)
[17:40] <FalseProphet> yea fuck that
[17:40] <oCean> FalseProphet: control your language here
[17:40] <FalseProphet> oCean,  ok ok i annoyed at the cheeky help i've gotten
[17:41] <FalseProphet> copy paste is not a valid workaround
[17:41] <Pici> henrik-_: When helping, be helpful.
[17:41] <mikewasoskyyyyy> usr13: did you read my message?
[17:41] <henrik-_> Pici: Where's the fun in that? Haha, seriously though, I was just kidding around with him, no biggie.
[17:42] <tunafish> Whats the path to file system?
[17:42] <oCean> FalseProphet: does  xmodmap -pke | grep -i shift  output anything?
[17:43] <FalseProphet> oCean,  how do you copy paste into cli/
[17:43] <mbird2011> Connection issue with lynksys usb. sudo lshw -C network returns "PCI sysfs"
[17:43] <tensorpudding> tunafish: that questino doesn't make sense
[17:43] <FalseProphet> i can't do the straight up and down line without shift
[17:44] <tensorpudding> tunafish: but the root of the filesystem is at /
[17:44] <tensorpudding> tunafish: all paths descend from there
[17:44] <oCean> FalseProphet: hmm..
[17:44] <tunafish> so /home/username/downloads goes to my downloads folder what is the path to folders in the file system
[17:44] <tunafish> such as lib, usr, bin, etc.
[17:44] <rrittenh1use> WHen will Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 LTS stop updating? Is it in April 2013?
[17:44] <FalseProphet> tuna /usr
[17:44] <FalseProphet> etc
[17:44] <tensorpudding> tunafish: lib, usr and bin are subdirectories of /
[17:44] <DasEi> !EOL | rrittenh1use
[17:44] <tunafish> cool
[17:45] <oCean> FalseProphet: well, you can run it without the last grep, from the | grep part, and search for occurances of shift..
[17:45] <Pici> rrittenh1use: 8.04 desktop is already EOL. The server packages will drop from support in 2013.
[17:45] <mbird2011> Can someone point me where I should go for help? Should I go to a forum?
[17:45] <rrittenh1use> Pici: so its no longer updating? the notice was a little confusing I thought.
[17:46] <DasEi> rrittenh1use: but if you use hardy, can upgrade from one lts to the next:
[17:46] <DasEi> !lts
[17:46] <Pici> rrittenh1use: Many of the packages that the desktop install uses are also in the server install, so some core things are updating.
[17:46] <FalseProphet> oCean,  got to it
[17:46] <FalseProphet> don't see shift at all
[17:46] <rrittenh1use> DasEi: Pici: thanks a lot.
[17:46] <FalseProphet> found one occurence so far
[17:46] <FalseProphet> keycode 62
[17:47] <Jaded> anyone?
[17:47] <oCean> FalseProphet: ok, so there is a keycode, it's not that it got lost
[17:49] <oCean> FalseProphet: ok, now in terminal run  xev
[17:49] <mbird2011> needing some help. 5th try. can someone tell me where I should go or just help me
[17:50] <FalseProphet> mbird2011,  ask the question
[17:50] <FalseProphet> oCean, event tester is up
[17:50] <mbird2011> I am trying to connect to my wireless network using an AE1000 lynksys usb wireless adapter. I can see the adapter is loaded under lsusb, but when I type sudo lshw -C network it says "PCI sysfs"

[17:52] <Chotaz> This might be an odd question but is it possible to have ubuntu's file explorer listing fiels and directory cas insensitive?
[17:52] <FloodBot1> FalseProphet: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:53] <Chotaz> This might be an odd question but is it possible to have ubuntu's file explorer listing files and folders case insensitive?
[17:53] <oCean> FalseProphet: there does not seem to be a keycode for the shift key :(
[17:53] <Jaded> can someone tell me what the module 'ath_hal' is?
[17:54] <syrinx_> Jaded: for the wifi
[17:54] <kleanchap> How can I run a .exe file in Ubuntu?
[17:54] <mbird2011> I am trying to connect to my wireless network using an AE1000 lynksys usb wireless adapter. I can see the adapter is loaded under lsusb, but when I type sudo lshw -C network it says "PCI sysfs" the ubuntu help file does not provide a solution for this
[17:55] <syrinx_> kleanchap: run it in Wine
[17:55] <tensorpudding> !wine | kleanchap
[17:55] <tensorpudding> kleanchap: generally speaking, it will somewhat work, but not always
[17:56] <escott> mbird2011, lshw is a bit slower to scan sysfs give it some time
[17:56] <nonelisted> Quick question for anyone that might know... looking for a way to change the UbuntuOne Control Panel login... there doesnt appear to be a option to do so, and I cant seem to locate the config file its drawing its information from...
[17:56] <Raugturi> Chotaz: Do you mean Nautilus?
[17:57] <mbird2011> escott: it stays for 10-15 seconds and then the sysfs disappears to show the admin@birdfamily-ET1331g:~$ where I can type in commands. It doesn't return the information the help file suggests it should
[17:58] <escott> mbird2011, it may be missing a driver
[17:58] <mbird2011> escott: I used the windows wireless driver under system settings. What route should I take
[18:00] <escott> mbird2011, im not too familiar with that method of getting drivers
[18:00] <mbird2011> escott: I just loaded the inf file in there. How do you load drivers? This doesn't appear to be working I'm open
[18:01] <Los7puppy_> anyone know a good channel or play to find help with learning python?
[18:01] <syrinx_> mbird2011: ndiswrapper?
[18:01] <Pici> Los7puppy_: #python
[18:01] <[snake]> can you connect your wiimote to ubuntu via bluetooth, and then map the buttons to certain letters of your keyboard?
[18:01] <Anon904> alright guys, question; Ive got my laptop at my house(currently using it) and ive got my workstation at school(I go to a computer networking school), how do i set up my linuxbox(at home) to be accessed while im at school. The school uses winXP
[18:01] <FalseProphet> Anon904,  ssh tunnel
[18:01] <FalseProphet> putty for the school
[18:02] <syrinx_> FalseProphet beat me to it
[18:02] <Anon904> so what exactly would be my steps to going about this? do i need to set up a server on my linux box?
[18:02] <tensorpudding> Anon904: what is your home networking configuration?
[18:02] <dr_willis> !ssh | Anon904
[18:02] <Anon904> tensorpudding: meaning?
[18:02] <mbird2011> syrinx: escott: I'll redo it with ndiswrapper and hopefully that works thanks everyone
[18:02] <tensorpudding> Anon904: do you have some kind of NAT router? publically-routable IP address?
[18:02] <Anon904> no etho connections, full wireless
[18:02] <Lasers> Oh god.
[18:02] <Anon904> uhm, ive got the gateway that the ISP sent me
[18:02] <dr_willis> Anon904,  how is it connected to the internet...
[18:03] <dr_willis> a router?
[18:03] <Anon904> yeah
[18:03] <[snake]> basically I want to use my wii remote as a keyboard. although not for typing, but so that I can play a game.
[18:03] <tensorpudding> Anon904: well, your router is probably doing NAT, so you'll have to configure some sort of port-forwarding
[18:03] <syrinx_> [snake]: im sure it's possible...never done it myself
[18:04] <syrinx_> Anon904: you'd also need the IP that the ISP assigns to you, which may change periodically
[18:04] <Anon904> snake: I'd think you would have to get some sort of wii to USB converter box, and an emulator, or write the code yourself to where your box would understand it.
[18:04] <tensorpudding> Anon904: but more pressingly, you'll need to use some service like DynDNS to get a public domainname for your router
[18:04] <Anon904> nope, ive had my router ip, for about 7 years now.
[18:04] <syrinx_> ah
[18:04] <Anon904> since its "not a business line, we cannot give you a dynamic ip"
[18:04] <dr_willis> dyndns still makes things easier in ways
[18:04] <syrinx_> no-ip is nice, too
[18:04] <tensorpudding> Anon904: you can use the IP address instead, if it is static
[18:05] <Anon904> yeah its static, never changes
[18:05] <Anon904> (always get the 2 mixed up)
[18:05] <dr_willis> normally its the reverse of that Anon904 .... home users get dynamic
[18:05] <tensorpudding> Anon904: actually, static ip's almost always cost more
[18:05] <littlebearz> depends on isp
[18:06] <Anon904> I <3 my att/bellsouth/pos ISP
[18:06] <littlebearz> mines 1 year per change

[18:06] <nonelisted> Quick question for anyone that might know... looking for a way to change the UbuntuOne Control Panel login... there doesnt appear to be a option to do so, and I cant seem to locate the config file its drawing its information from...
[18:06] <tensorpudding> Anon904: well anyway, you need to configure your router for port forwarding
[18:06] <tensorpudding> Anon904: which ports depend on which services you want to enable
[18:06] <Anon904> keep in mind
[18:07] <candt> how do I get to use #ubuntuone channel? does it exist please?
[18:07] <Anon904> the end i will be using is a etho booted winxp at my school
[18:07] <Anon904> under the most heavy firewall I have ever witnessed
[18:07] <Pici> candt: type: /join #ubuntuone
[18:07] <dr_willis> Anon904,  so what you want to do remotely on the linxu box then?
[18:07] <tensorpudding> Anon904: oh, well, if there's a firewall in your network..
[18:07] <Anon904> I WANT TO GET ON FACEBOOK D:
[18:07] <tensorpudding> Anon904: it might completely break the TOS of your school to subvert it
[18:08] <candt>  @ Pici thanks
[18:08] <dr_willis> such good reasons.. .....
[18:08] <tensorpudding> Anon904: you can use your home computer for proxying but subverting the firewall might well get you in trouble
[18:08] <dlyneswork> On Ubuntu 9.04, I was able to specify options for the startup of the tftpd-hpa server in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, now with Ubuntu 10.04, it still uses /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, but it has completely different environment variables, and it uses upstart, so I have no idea what script to look into to find out what environment variable to throw my custom parameters into
[18:08] <Anon904> I dont care, I pay out the ass for this school, if they get pissy, ill tell them to reset defaults.  I have direct access to the wireless router we use in my classroom, and i have full privlidges on it, but the wifi router, is connected to the schools server room.
[18:08] <dlyneswork> Anyone have any idea where I might start looking to throw those additional parameters into?
[18:09] <Anon904> schools server room has facebook set as "not existing"
[18:09] <tensorpudding> Anon904: and even if they haven't blocked SSH traffic, their network people will be able to tell that you're running an encrypted tunnel
[18:09] <Anon904> so, im trying to instead of going through, by port mapping, etc, just figure it would be easier to RDP into my linux box. and facebook from there.
[18:09] <Sean-Der> Is it possible to keep persistant changes in some sort of flat database? I am booting an ISO using Hirens Boot CD (GRUB)
[18:10] <tensorpudding> Anon904: it sounds like what you want is a proxy, either SOCKS/SSH, or HTTP, depending on how much you want to proxy
[18:10] <Anon904> ive done RDP sucessfully on the other machines in my classroom, and I can also use teamviewer.
[18:10] <dr_willis> why not just use teamviewer then?
[18:10] <tensorpudding> Anon904: for the former, you can just setup dynamic port forwarding via SSH
[18:10] <Anon904> ive accessed my computer while it was at home by setting up teamviewer, and using my external HDD to hook up to the school workstation and use teamviewer on that end, but its too slow
[18:10] <tensorpudding> Anon904: for the latter, there's things like squid
[18:11] <tensorpudding> Anon904: both of these things could be very slow
[18:11] <Anon904> I think thats what i want to end up doing, setting up my own server on my linux box, so that i can just log into it, so that the speed isnt affected as much
[18:11] <tensorpudding> Anon904: it depends on how fast your internet connections are
[18:11] <Anon904> only thing i need it for is facebook, other than that, I can use the schools network.
[18:11] <dlyneswork> Anon904, why not just use your cellphone, and be done with it?
[18:11] <oCean> Sean-Der: what changes?
[18:12] <dlyneswork> Anon904, any decent cellphone has facebook on it, anyways
[18:12] <dr_willis> dlyneswork,  :) thats what i use these days
[18:12] <Anon904> cause, I don't have a phone provider on my droid anymore(couldn't pay the bill) so now its jus a paperweight, so tethering and facebooking from phone, not possible
[18:13] <Anon904> and now im using my moms flip phone, that gets EDGE in class... I can barely recieve text messages.....
[18:14] <dlyneswork> must be expensive as hell on EDGE
[18:14] <dr_willis> time to read up on ssh then it seems
[18:14] <eoss> hello i am trying to transfer file to tftp server but i am getting timeout
[18:14] <Lasers> Anon904: Divert your attentions to school.
[18:14] <tensorpudding> Anon904: i assume that your windows machine allows you to run arbitrary programs?
[18:14] <dgags> Lasers: here here...
[18:14] <Anon904> arbitrary? explain that one
[18:14] <dlyneswork> tensorpudding, it must, or he wouldn't be on IRC
[18:15] <RA_drc> hi, i want to put ubuntu on my desktop computer.  if i burn an iso to a cd, will ubuntu boot from that cd?  can that cd partition my h ard drive?
[18:15] <Anon904> noooo, im at home right now, i go to school at 4pm est
[18:15] <tensorpudding> Anon904: as in, if you were to download PuTTY, it would not prevent you from running it
[18:15] <dgags> eoss: does the tftpd process have permission to write to the directory it is set up on?
[18:15] <Anon904> RA_drc: yes it can :)
[18:15] <dr_willis> RA_drc,  thats normally how it works. yes.
[18:15] <Anon904> does it require admin privlages tensor?
[18:15] <dr_willis> RA_drc,  make backups of imporntant stuff first
[18:15] <Lasers> RA_drc: Yes. Yes. :)
[18:16] <tensorpudding> Anon904: no
[18:16] <tensorpudding> Anon904: not necessarily
[18:16] <Anon904> I have downloaded and installed google chrome to their computers, so yes i can dl and install most things.
[18:16] <eoss> well dgags before that when i try to start the service of tftp it says Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type = "method call", ...blah...error name="(unset)" requested reply = 0 destination ="com.ubuntu.upastart
[18:16] <Anon904> but when i restart the comp, its all gone cause the comp at school doesnt even have a hdd or a cd drive.. its etho booted
[18:16] <dlyneswork> Does anyone happen to know where the real scripts live for something that's been converted to an upstart process?
[18:16] <eoss> im on 11.04 and i tried service xinetd start and thats the error msg..condesned
[18:17] <dgags> eoss: whoa… what the hell is all that?
[18:17] <dlyneswork> Anon904, cool...everything's running on a ram drive, then
[18:17] <alienmindtrick> How do i fix this, please:  i keep getting this error when i run Update Manager:  W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[18:17] <alienmindtrick>  , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[18:17] <RA_drc> Anon904: dr_willis: Lasers: i tried partitioning my computer and using wubi, and now all i get when i boot my computer is "j".  can ubuntu recover from that?
[18:17] <dgags> eoss: ahh… hmm.
[18:17] <dr_willis> RA_drc,  a live cd. can repartiton/reformat the hd.
[18:17] <Lasers> RA_drc: Wubi is terrible. Stay away from it.
[18:17] <Anon904> RA_drc: ACK wubi </3
[18:17] <Ampelbein> alienmindtrick: remove the defunct gnome3 ppa from your software sources
[18:17] <dlyneswork> alienmindtrick, that file's not there anymore...nothing you can do to fix it
[18:17] <tensorpudding> Anon904: well, you'll need to set up OpenSSH server on your home machine, and port-forward port 22 on your router to that computer, then install PuTTY on the windows machine, and create a profile to connect to your home machine with dynamic port forwarding, then configure chrome or firefox with a socks proxy
[18:18] <Lasers> RA_drc: Use LiveCD -- Wubi installs Ubuntu like a program. You want to use LiveCD.
[18:18] <dr_willis> RA_drc,  you sure its not an 'L' as in LILO ?
[18:18] <cxq> hello
[18:18] <dlyneswork> alienmindtrick, or what Ampelbein said
[18:18] <dgags> eoss: i suggest google… It's what I am about to do.
[18:18] <alienmindtrick> Ampelbein:  earlier escott said not to remove that PPA...so yes remove it, or no?
[18:18] <Anon904> yeah, cause if i try to even open the IE settings says blocked by admin
[18:18] <k_sze> Does anybody know how to get SLIP working in Ubuntu? SLIP is all new to me. I need to establish connection with a Windows CE handheld device (which apparently supports SLIP), without the overhead of installing SynCE.
[18:18] <eoss> ok
[18:19] <escott> alienmindtrick, removing gnome3 ppa has lead to many broken systems
[18:19] <Anon904> I cant even access the C: drive(even though its a fake one) inless i do some backdoor stuff. cant even go into CMD without having to do backdoor stuff.
[18:19] <dlyneswork> Anon904, I think the network admin folks are trying to send you a message
[18:19] <dlyneswork> Anon904, don't screw with them :o
[18:19] <Ampelbein> alienmindtrick: that ppa doesn't exist anymore, so why would you want to keep it in your config?
[18:19] <alienmindtrick> escott:  OK, so should I just ignore the error message?
[18:19] <shinobilord> Natty/11.04 has got lots of bugs (apparently due to unity). What gives Ubuntu?
[18:19] <tensorpudding> Anon904: this might not necessarily work though, if your admins prevented you from binding certain ports
[18:20] <Anon904> haha, my into to networking teacher, has a script added to his router, so that if anyone tries to log in more than 3 times in a 24 hour period, it will send a script that will fry their processor and ram chips D:
[18:20] <alienmindtrick> Ampelbein:  I'm just trying to find consensus for a remedy. One says remove, the other says keep.
[18:20] <Anon904> intro*
[18:20] <dgags> eoss: you're trying to setup a tftp daemon to receive files, from a switch, or some such right?
[18:20] <eoss> dgags: yes, i have cisco routers i need tftp to transfer file to
[18:20] <Ampelbein> alienmindtrick: the ppa isn't there anymore so removing it from the sources can't possibly do ANY harm.
[18:21] <Anon904> what the heck? I cant access my router from this computer...192.168.1.254 doesnt do anything....
[18:21] <alienmindtrick> Ampelbein:  makes sense to me. anyone else?  peer review?
[18:21] <dgags> eoss
[18:21] <tensorpudding> Anon904: what?
[18:21] <eoss> dgags
[18:22] <Anon904> trying to access my router page, wont let me, saying too long for the connection...
[18:22] <dgags> eoss: so, I'd start with this: http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/sitara_arm174_microprocessors/f/416/t/112168.aspx
[18:22] <Anon904> just did an ifconfig, and im getting this.
[18:22] <dgags> eoss: although my guess is you already have.
[18:22] <Anon904>  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:22:fb:7c:4c:38
[18:22] <Anon904>           inet addr:172.16.1.34  Bcast:172.16.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0
[18:23] <Jordan_U> Anon904: Can you pastebin the output of "route -n"?
[18:23] <Anon904> so i tried 172.16.1.34 and nothing..
[18:23] <RA_drc> Anon904: dr_willis: Lasers: i am certain is is J, not L.  all it shows is a lowercase j.  do i want 11.04 and 32-bit?
[18:23] <dgags> eoss: how are you trying to start tftp?
[18:23] <eoss> dgags: yea i set my conf file up correctly, just dunno why it wont start up
[18:23] <Anon904> ahhhh, its 172.16.0.1
[18:23] <alienmindtrick> Hey, here's an IRC question: Why does it say "Unknown MODE flag" when I log in?
[18:23] <Lasers> RA_drc: You have two choices.
[18:24] <Anon904> RA_drc: how much ram you got on ur system? 2gb minimum for 64bit
[18:24] <Lasers> RA_drc: You want 10.04 LTS (Long term support) -- or you want 11.04 (Regular; every 6 months).
[18:24] <eoss> dgags first i tried sudo /etc/xinetd/start, gave me issue and told me to do this service xinetd start
[18:24] <eoss> thats when i got a nasty error
[18:24] <Lasers> RA_drc: If you're new and aren't tech savy, using 32bit will be better.
[18:24] <shinobilord> Lasers: is 11.04 really that great. Looks buggy to me
[18:25] <dgags> eoss: what issue? the original one you pasted above?
[18:25] <Lasers> shinobilord: I don't use Ubuntu personally. However, I like the dock on the left.  Accessing folders/applications is meh-meh.
[18:25] <eoss> dgags: yea Rejected send message error
[18:25] <Lasers> shinobilord: Using icon/symbol is far effective than seeing text/names on panels, IMO.
[18:26] <eoss> ok dgags apparently that nasty error comes from not putting sudo in front of it, i got it to start up
[18:26] <eoss> still cant connect to it though
[18:26] <eoss> checking firewall settings now..
[18:27] <zaksoldier> Hi al
[18:27] <zaksoldier> All
[18:27] <dgags> eoss: ahh, ok, just make sure your /tftpboot (or whatever you have in the xinetd config) is 777 so evryone can read/write
[18:27] <RA_drc> Anon904: dr_willis: Lasers: i have a p4, so i think i should do 32-bit.  i'm still not sure what the difference between 10.04 and 11.04 is, though
[18:27] <lapaga> I have a limited ram system.  When I close any program it does not release all the ram.  Any way to do it manually?
[18:28] <dgags> lapaga: pull the power cord
[18:28] <dgags> that's about as manual as it gets.
[18:28] <Lasers> RA_drc: Versions. 10.04 is old (but very stable).  11.04 is new -- And you are likely to experience more bugs on 11.04.
[18:28] <lapaga> dgags, very helpful thanks
[18:29] <Lasers> RA_drc: However -- If you really want stable machine, try debian.  What is different between Firefox 3 and Firefox 4?  Not much.  Firefox 4 is still relatively new -- and still have more bugs than Firefox 3.
[18:29] <shinobilord> Lasers: I'd agree. I was referring to the fact that the desktop is really glitchy. Not at all stable. So why recommend it
[18:30] <Lasers> shinobilord: Time-based releases. It have to come out.
[18:30] <DasEi> RA_drc: and 10.04 is lts and comes with gnome, whilst natty comes with unity default
[18:30] <DasEi> !lts
[18:30] <shinobilord> Lasers: sure. Until then even 10.10 is more stable
[18:31] <BrianMBI> Having issues with Laptop shutting down.....but all of my desktops restart and turn off normally
[18:31] <Jordan_U> lapaga: I think you may be mistaking caching for "not releasing all the ram". http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[18:31] <metadan> Hi can anyone give me a quick hand, I'm trying to get ubuntu installed to dual boot with win7
[18:31] <Lasers> shinobilord: Why staying on 10.10 when you can stay on 10.04 LTS.
[18:31] <metadan> I've got a problem setting up the partitions etc
[18:31] <BrianMBI> Metadan: Wubi.exe
[18:32] <Lasers> shinobilord: You can upgrade from 10.04 LTS (to the next LTS version).  If you went on 10.10 -- You'll have to go to 11.04 -- then the next version -- then the next version.
[18:32] <ghoulsblade> hi all, fresh natty install here, logging in normally, then relogging in using "ubuntu classic" desktop, then relogging using normal me with a blank desktop. anyone know what .dotdir in home to kill to reset it ?
[18:32] <wildbat> metadan: what kinda of problem?
[18:32] <vandemar> Lasers: more bugs?  ff major bugs are mostly due to plugins, and ff4 has some major security improvements
[18:32] <metadan> BrianMBI: I understood wubi doesn't do real dual boot
[18:32] <eoss> dgags although i still got a connection timeout when trying to put a file in there =/ ..opened the ports wide  up
[18:32] <metadan> The problem i've got is that i have one harddrive
[18:32] <metadan> 4 partitions
[18:32] <metadan> one partition is unallocated when i look in disk manager in win7
[18:32] <metadan> but
[18:32] <BrianMBI> you can set partitions by booting from .iso that way
[18:33] <dr_willis> metadan,  if its 4 primaries. then you got some work to do.
[18:33] <metadan> awesome..
[18:33] <metadan> ok
[18:33] <BrianMBI> set your swap and /
[18:33] <metadan> when i boot into the installer
[18:33] <dr_willis> You basically need to make an extended partitioon metadan  with logicals in it for ubuntu to install to
[18:33] <metadan> there is no free space
[18:33] <metadan> ok
[18:33] <dr_willis> metadan,  and i have seen win7 setups that do use 4 primary partitions.. for some sick reason
[18:34] <Lasers> vandemar: Maybe. I wouldn't know about that. The problem is that progress does not always mean it's better. People assume it is. Anyway, I think I have wandering into offtopic here. I'll stop. :)
[18:34] <metadan> so in win7 disk manager, take the unallocated space and set it to be an extended partition
[18:34] <metadan> ?
[18:34] <metadan> any specfics i need to take into account?
[18:34] <zaksoldier> ¿
[18:34] <kingofswords> hi what ed2k client do i use for ubuntu?
[18:34] <dr_willis> You can try. - but it seems odd the installer is not seeing it allready MetaBot

[18:35] <shinobilord> Lasers: from that perspective I'd agree.but why not wait for the next major release before upgrading to 11.04 and then 11.10 (which would hopefully be better than 11.04)?
[18:35] <kingofswords> dr_willis, thx
[18:35] <zaksoldier> ¿
[18:35] <metadan> ok i'll be back in a few if i have issues. rebooting back to win7 :/
[18:35] <wildbat> metadon, you can do it in gparted in the ubuntu LiveCD
[18:35] <metadan> ah cool
[18:36] <dr_willis> metadan,  its a good idea to have anything imporntant backed up first..
[18:36] <eoss> grep dgags
[18:36] <metadan> hmm
[18:36] <winterpk66> I'm attempting to install Ubuntu on my external USB 3.5
[18:36] <metadan> this is perhaps sounding like more trouble than its worth
[18:36] <metadan> i've got a vm running in win7 for ubuntu dev box atm
[18:36] <dr_willis> metadan,  really anything imorntant.. shoud allready be backed up. :) a hard drive can die at ANY time
[18:37] <metadan> was going to dualboot and run the win7 boot as a vm as i'd prefer to be that way roung
[18:37] <metadan> aye, its a work pc, anything important is in svn
[18:37] <Lasers> shinobilord: We're at 11.04. There are always first time for everything. We're experiencing our first time with Unity, hence the bugs. Minor or major. That's what LTS is for. It's for business and people who does not want to upgrade every six months. Think of the headaches IT administrators would have to go through with.
[18:37] <dr_willis> You can install ubuntu to a external flash or usb hard drive - if you wanted to
[18:37] <metadan> well 90% of anything important anyway...
[18:38] <BrianMBI> Lasers: I'm pretty impressed with 11.04 and Unity
[18:38] <metadan> I left a 200gb partition especially to do this initially
[18:38] <eoss> ok i have my tftpboot folder user as 'nobody' and the group as root, each has full access, when i try and put file on server do i need to be this nobody user..i am still learning file permissions
[18:38] <BrianMBI> not that buggy really
[18:38] <lapaga> Jordan_U, in checking out that link it still seems to be my original statement at least by what Task Manager is showing and free -m
[18:38] <winterpk66> I'm attempting to install Ubuntu on my external USB 3.5 hard drive.  However, I keep getting this error after install when I try to boot it up "Error: file not found." then on next line "grub recover>".  Obviously grub isn't working properly but how do I fix it?  I have a pastebin link here for the results of a Boot Info Scan http://pastebin.com/F1pDc08n.  Please if anyone can help me I would
[18:38] <winterpk66> be infinitely grateful.
[18:38] <dr_willis> metadan,  the installe rshould be able to install to it then.. unless your drive is oddly partioned.
[18:38] <metadan> tempted to say bugger it and give it a go
[18:38] <Lasers> BrianMBI: I'm impressed with it too. All I did was pointing out the choices. Go with 10.04 LTS or 11.04. That's it.
[18:38] <Jordan_U> lapaga: Can you give more details on exactly what you are seeing?
[18:39] <jule> hi guys could someone help me with my internet key? huawei e352 on ubuntu 10.04 gnome. driver manually compiled it sees it it won`t connect (already tried the si from a phone and it is working) help plz
[18:39] <RA_drc> Lasers: dasei: if someone wanted to do some kernel development/coding on ubuntu, would you recommend 10.04 or 11.04?
[18:39] <metadan> dr_willis when i view the unallocated space in the disk manager it shows as two sections with another partition in the middle
[18:39] <BrianMBI> I use LTS for servers and 11.04 for work laptop
[18:39] <Lasers> RA_drc: I'm not qualified to answer that, tbh.
[18:39] <dr_willis> metadan,  sounds like its not unallocated to me...
[18:39] <metadan> aye
[18:39] <metadan> i figured that may be the case
[18:39] <dr_willis> Unformated is not the same as unallocated.
[18:39] <metadan> win7 says, unallocated
[18:40] <metadan> ok so where's 9parted in here then
[18:40] <metadan> i'm on the livecd now
[18:40] <WacOzeE> anyone have experience with X11 forwarding?
[18:40] <DasEi> RA_drc: I'd go with lucid and an updated kernel/sources(libs), but I say thios also because I can't work well with unity, natty will also do
[18:40] <Lasers> metadan: "sudo apt-get install gparted" -- If it's not installed.
[18:40] <Jordan_U> winterpk66: Does your BIOS support booting from USB? (and it's more clear to say 3.5" or 3.5 inch drive).
[18:40] <lapaga> Jordan_U, lets say I start off with 30% ram used..I open a program and it goes up to 47%...I close the program and it only goes back to 45% free
[18:40] <winterpk66> Jordan_U: yes it does
[18:41] <jean> hello
[18:42] <DasEi> RA_drc: if you want to play, possibly mess around, get unstable, you'll learn a lot and kernel 3.00 is available now (gg), not for productional intense, and oc compile takes time on a vm
[18:42] <oCean> lapaga: use command  free  to see how much ram is actually used
[18:42] <metadan> hmm that shows different again...
[18:43] <lapaga> oCean, I used free -m and also Task Manager and they both show the same thing except one is in % and one is in actual
[18:43] <eoss> can anyone help me with tftp server..i am getting code 2 access violation
[18:43] <metadan> back in 5
[18:43] <Jaded> Hi, is it ok to install xubuntu 6.06 and then just upgrade/update once it's installed?
[18:43] <shinobilord> Lasers: just saw one of ur posts. So instead of going through every release, I can just bounce from one LTS to the next LTS. Is that right?
[18:43] <Jordan_U> lapaga: What program? Can you pastebin the output of "free -m" before running the program, while it's running, and after it's closed?
[18:43] <ikonia> Jaded: I wouldn't advise that as 6.06 is dead
[18:43] <dr_willis> Jaded,  installing 6.06 and upgradeing to 10.04 ? ewww.
[18:43] <oCean> lapaga: you used the 2nd line in free output? The rest is just buffers/filesystem cache
[18:43] <wildbat> winterpk66: hey there ~ sorry i fall asleep last night XD
[18:43] <Jaded> I meant to say, I already have it on CDR
[18:44] <winterpk66> wildbat: no prob.  me too
[18:44] <sllide>  lol cdr
[18:44] <dr_willis> it will take longer to upgrade, then to download/insatll the latest version i imagin
[18:44] <Lasers> shinobilord: Correct.
[18:44] <sllide> owait
[18:44] <Jaded> ok I'll probably do that
[18:44] <sllide> this isnt my normal channel..
[18:44] <sllide> sorry

[18:44] <Jaded> just trying to setup ubuntu for low memory systems.
[18:45] <roasted> Question - does GNash just work with Flash, or does it work with Shockwave items as well?
[18:45] <Jordan_U> roasted: Just flash.
[18:45] <Lasers> shinobilord: You would be upgrading every 2 years. That will work great for small businesses. :)
[18:45] <Jaded> and have hit a wall, so i'm just gonna download xubuntu 10.04
[18:45] <Jaded> Duron 1ghz, 768MB RAM, 80GB harddrive
[18:45] <theadmin> roasted: Flash only
[18:46] <winterpk66> Wildbat: I know that I'm doing something wrong here, but can't seem to figure out what.  Could you take a look at my pastbin results and see if anything looks out of place? http://pastebin.com/F1pDc08n
[18:46] <Pici> roasted: Just flash. There is no shockwave plugin for Linux.
[18:46] <theadmin> I don't think anyone still uses Shockwave
[18:46] <roasted> Pici, yeah, I see that, which is kind of a bummer because I think the educational web based software we have utilize some bits of shockwave.
[18:46] <Jordan_U> winterpk66: Do you have any other hard drives connected to this computer?
[18:46] <roasted> theadmin, ^^^
[18:46] <roasted> :(
[18:46] <shinobilord> Lasers: I'll have to seriously consider going back. The only problem is that I can get an official ppa for php 5.3.5 So I'm kind of stuck!
[18:46] <roasted> Have any of you guys used Gnash? I'm curious how it compares to Adobe Flash for Linux.
[18:46] <winterpk66> Jordan_U: No I do not.  Just the external USB drive
[18:47] <prime> how play my playlist *.xspf from bash by ssh on the server
[18:47] <shinobilord> Lasers:  I CAN'T get the ppa
[18:47] <theadmin> roasted: Used to use it, worked with most things rather well except oddly high RAM usage
[18:47] <roasted> Also - when you hit the checkbox during the 11.04 installation about installing extra media codecs, is that installing gnash or adobe flash?
[18:47] <Jordan_U> winterpk66: Can you be at the grub rescue shell and stay on IRC (on a different computer) at the same time?
[18:47] <roasted> theadmin, but it ran marginally well as an adobe flash alternative?
[18:47] <winterpk66> Jordan_U: yes I can
[18:47] <roasted> theadmin, audio/video were in sync, etc?
[18:47] <theadmin> roasted: For what I tried, yes
[18:47] <prime> how play my AUDIO playlist *.xspf from bash by ssh on the server
[18:48] <Jaded> just trying to make this computer run as fast as possible
[18:48] <Jordan_U> winterpk66: Please get to the grub rescue shell and tell me what the output of "ls" is.
[18:48] <roasted> theadmin, do you know what ubuntu installs by default during installation if you check the box fo rmedia codecs?
[18:48] <Jaded> + don't want to install Microsoft software :D
[18:48] <prime> how play my AUDIO playlist "killer.xspf" from bash by ssh on the server
[18:48] <theadmin> roasted: I don't remember, but I think Adobe Flash
[18:49] <winterpk66> Jordan_U: sure, give me a minute.
[18:49] <roasted> In the software center under Gnash, the description is as follows:
[18:49] <roasted> GNU Gnash is based on GameSWF and supports most SWF v7 features and some SWF v8 and v9. SWF v10 is not supported by GNU Gnash.        When they say SWF v10, are they referring to Adobe Flash 10?
[18:49] <theadmin> roasted: Yeah
[18:49] <RA_drc> dr_willis Lasers: dasei: thanks for your help
[18:50] <roasted> theadmin, that's a bummer that it doesn't support flash 10. I wonder what pitfalls that would cuase.

[18:51] <koshie> -In my advice +IMHO
[18:52] <theadmin> roasted: You know, gnash WILL work worse than adobe-flash either way
[18:52] <roasted> theadmin, really? Why is that?
[18:52] <koshie> GNASH is not made by Adobe roasted
[18:52] <theadmin> roasted: Flash isn't open source, nobody really knows how it works, we can only guess -- same as Wine
[18:52] <koshie> And Adobe don't help to make GNASH, or something like that, better.
[18:52] <theadmin> roasted: Wine works worse than Windows, you know
[18:53] <koshie> Best solution : Erase flashplayer or use flashplayer, but Gnash…
[18:53] <koshie> roasted, why do you need flash exactly ?
[18:53] <koshie> Youtube ? Online game ?
[18:53] <rypervenche> roasted: Gnash does work often, but not always. And it doesn't work as well as Flash does.
[18:53] <shinobilord> Lasers: yeah, moodle require later than 5.3.2. See http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Installing_Moodle

[18:55] <koshie> roasted, I understand :)
[18:55] <koshie> Where are hosted your video ?
[18:55] <Jaded> ok another question, once i've installed xubuntu, how easy is it to remove packages i don't need?
[18:55] <metadan> I have 2 'unallocated' sections on the disk, a 130.52gb bit and an 64.45gb bit
[18:55] <rypervenche> roasted: You kind of have to use it. Use html5 when you can, but yeah.
[18:55] <Lasers> shinobilord: Ah. I don't know anything about php. It looks interesting. Learning environment. I guess you're using natty server with no GUI?
[18:55] <rypervenche> Jaded: Sure.
[18:55] <koshie> roasted, if it's on youtube I've some solution without flash
[18:55] <koshie> In other case, just use flash.
[18:55] <Lasers> roasted: "youtube-dl" :-D
[18:55] <koshie> Proprietary ≠ evil power
[18:55] <koshie> Lasers, +1
[18:55] <rypervenche> roasted: www.tinyogg.com also works.
[18:55] <koshie> HTML5 with Firefox 4 works for some videos.
[18:56] <roasted> rypervenche, what's up with html5 support? Is it *coming* or is it here yet lagging or what? I thought it'd be more widespread by now, but I'm not that educated on the subject either so I wasn't too sure.
[18:56] <Lasers> roasted, koshie:  In fact, just write a script that'll download and run VLC (or your choice of media player) when it's done. No more buffer!
[18:56] <metadan> anyone any idea how i make an extended partition to install into?
[18:56] <koshie> Lasers, you've this script ? :}
[18:56] <roasted> Lasers, that's not the point.
[18:56] <rypervenche> roasted: You have to enable it first at www.youtube.com/html5
[18:56] <shinobilord> Lasers: that's right. It's got an official version of 5.3.5 and I'm hoping the no-desktop version is more stable. No probs so far :)
[18:56] <roasted> Lasers, I'm talking from the standpoint of using educational software on ubuntu.
[18:56] <koshie> roasted, it works for all new vidéos and some of older video
[18:56] <Lasers> koshie: No. It shouldn't be too hard. Few lines at most.
[18:57] <Hordeking> Any filesystem gurus present right now?
[18:57] <Lasers> shinobilord: :)
[18:57] <koshie> Hordeking, don't ask to ask
[18:57] <koshie> just ask
[18:57] <roasted> Lasers, I cant possibly have all students running scripts to do that. Cool idea though :D

[18:57] <prime> how play my AUDIO playlist "killer.xspf" from bash use ssh on the server by VLK player
[18:57] <koshie> roasted, use HTML5 + youtube-dl + GreaseMonkey… :)
[18:57] <roasted> koshie, oh really? so if somebody has a flash based site and I have HTML5, it should work?
[18:57] <tucemiux> metadan: can you create an extended partitioni? Meaning do you have free space and dont have 4 primary partitions already?
[18:57] <roasted> koshie, with newer flash videos, that is
[18:57] <koshie> No no roasted
[18:57] <koshie> It only work for youtube and dailymotion
[18:57] <roasted> koshie, told ya I was uneducated in this department. Can you shed some light?
[18:58] <Lasers> roasted: Go with Flash -- even if you despise it. I despise McDonalds but I see my friends munching on them. :(
[18:58] <Hordeking> koshie: No, I think I will. I'm not going to write a long-winded, well-thought-out question if it's going to be ignored like last time.
[18:58] <metadan> tucemiux: I have free space and 3 partitions
[18:58] <koshie> roasted, pv ?
[18:58] <tucemiux> Hordeking: the trick is to write it all in one line
[18:58] <koshie> pm*
[18:58] <metadan> + a system and a recovery
[18:58] <Jaded> ryper: thanks
[18:58] <koshie> Hordeking, it's the good way. Ask to ask isn't work in a lot of case.
[18:58] <roasted> Lasers, I'm just trying to be open minded to alternatives. After the adobe air thing I got to wondering, what's stopping adobe from axing flash if they think Linux is a dead end road?
[18:58] <koshie> Hordeking, Is not my way, is «THE» way for being helped
[18:59] <Hordeking> koshie: You know, I normally do that, but I figured I might try to target it a little for once.
[18:59] <koshie> As you like.
[18:59] <tucemiux> metadan: use gparted to free up the free space, the free space MUST be in the last partition, once you free up space  you can then use that free space as an extended partition
[18:59] <nmvictor> Anyone who's good at packages in ubuntu, I am trying to install simple-ccsm in ubuntu 11.04 but i get a broken dependencies error at my command line. I have pasted the details at http://paste.ubuntu.com/628085/ , someone please help.
[18:59] <Lasers> roasted: HTML5. Things don't happen overnight. 5-10 years.

[19:00] <Lasers> roasted: http://ishtml5readyyet.com/
[19:00] <metadan> tucemiux: so if i stick all the unallocated space into a partition i should be able to the use that?
[19:00] <koshie> :)
[19:00] <tucemiux> youre going out of topic, html5 is not dependent on ubuntu, it needs to be supported by the browser, i.e. firefox, safari, opera, internet explorer
[19:01] <Hordeking> koshie: I'm going to assume you know a little bit about filesystem magic. I have an external HD, and right now I'm migrating all of my home directory to it. When I'm done, I'm going to wipe the original HD and upgrade my OS. What I want to know is how I might "merge" the external and the internal home partitions transparently, while new writes go to the external partition, and I can unplug the external and take it over to a laptop....
[19:01] <Pici> shinobilord: pm ubottu if you want to do !info requests

[19:02] <rypervenche> notNicolas: Skype on Linux is poor in general.
[19:02] <tucemiux> metadan: youre getting confused, you cant "stick" all the unallocated space into a partition, the unallocated space needs to be at the end of the 3 primary partitions and contiguous -- you can use that free space to create an extended partition
[19:02] <shinobilord> Pici: what do u mean? what's pm?

[19:02] <metadan> tucemiux, yeah thats what i thought... i may be buggered then because i have a drive in the middle of the unallocated space that i need to keep
[19:02] <koshie> Hordeking, I'm busy sorry :x
[19:02] <Lasers> roasted: For real. It's not just that mainstream yet. People are still using IE6. It's a tough thing to phase out old versions. :(
[19:02] <Pici> shinobilord: The floodbots cannot respond to messages.
[19:03] <koshie> And I'm not a magician with FS :)
[19:03] <shinobilord> Lasers: cheers :)
[19:03] <roasted> Lasers, I hear that.
[19:03] <Hordeking> koshie: Essentially, I'm curious if there's a way I can overlay a filesystem on top of another.
[19:03] <dr_willis> Hordeking,  the 'fuse' tools can do some amazeing things

[19:03] <dr_willis> Hordeking,  the fuse homepage
[19:04] <metadan> tucemiux, if i extend drive that exists to include all the free space and then shrink it again i don't suppose that'll work will it?
[19:04] <Hordeking> Sourceforge?
[19:04] <Lasers> roasted: Sometimes we have people coming in and they say they're on hardy and they can't get upgrades. It's because we, ubuntu community, moved the archives to different location. I'm pretty amazed they don't keep updates on things. :o
[19:04] <dr_willis> metadan,  you need a large UNALLOCATED space that the linux installer can partion and format as it needs.
[19:05] <metadan> dr_willis i have 130.52gb unallocated, but its not at the end of the drive
[19:05] <dr_willis> metadan,  but theres the 4 primary limitation that you mey be getting into.  gparted can move partitons around.. windows i find can resize ntfs MUCH faster then gparted does
[19:05] <tucemiux> metadan: if youre drive and your data, feel free to try whateer you want
[19:05] <Hordeking> dr_willis: I'm looking at the sourceforge stuff, but that looks like I'll have to write a filesystem driver or something.
[19:05] <tucemiux> metadan: ITS **your** drive...
[19:05] <theadmin> dr_willis: Windows can't do that at all -- except win7
[19:05] <dr_willis> metadan,  as long as you dont have 4 primaries.. you should be able to turn it into a extended, that holds 1+ logicals.
[19:05] <metadan> tucemiux: indeed
[19:05] <metadan> ok i'll try it in win
[19:05] <dr_willis> Hordeking,   theres fuse extensions/filesystems that do most anything you need.
[19:06] <metadan> and see what happens
[19:06] <dr_willis> !fuse
[19:06] <tucemiux> metadan: anytime I use gparted I always backup my stuff first, i've never had a drive fail on me but you never know, hard drives are physical devices and dont last forever
[19:06] <Hordeking> dr_willis: Alright, I'll start poking into that. Thanks.

[19:08] <metadan> dr_willis tucemiux: ok i've extended the drive in the disk manager to contain all the unallocated space
[19:08] <tucemiux> kheeper: amen to that!  I hate unity, gnome works just fine on my laptop and it shoudl work on your machine as well
[19:08] <metadan> its now 500gb almost
[19:08] <dr_willis> Unity bashing - to #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[19:08] <metadan> tucemiux dr_willis now going to do the shrink and hope it moves everything to the beginning of the changed partition
[19:08] <dr_willis> metadan,  during the linux install you will make linux filesystems in it...
[19:08] <kheeper> tucemiux, dam notification area pist me off everyday
[19:08] <dr_willis> metadan,   :) that may take some time.
[19:09] <metadan> dr_willis, aye i know
[19:09] <oCean> kheeper: control your language here
[19:09] <tucemiux> metadan: if you created an extended partition you can now create as many partitions you want on that extended parttion
[19:09] <Pici> kheeper: This channel is for support only. If you're just here to complain, I suggest refraining.
[19:09] <dr_willis> 'if you want to complain, please refrain' :)
[19:09] <tucemiux> kheeper: dont test my patience
[19:09] <metadan> tucemiux what effect will that have on the data on that partition?
[19:09] <kheeper> kick me of I don't care at all ubuntu suck forever
[19:09] <Lasers> kheeper: I'm sick of "power users" that can install whatever they want -- and they came in and complain about it instead of installing/removing whatever they don't like. :\
[19:09] <Pici> dr_willis: Its nicer than telling people to keep their mouth shut ;)
[19:09] <harisund> Why does my motd keep changing? What's the file in Ubuntu I need to edit? Right now, there are "2" MOTDs being displayed, a seemingly older one that was present when I needed to update a few packages, and now one ... why is this happening?
[19:10] <dr_willis> harisund,  theres a motd service - it could be confused.
[19:10] <metadan> wow i bet it gets mental in here
[19:10] <dr_willis> !motd
[19:10] <BioS615> Hi all, I am having an unusual amount of difficulty using Synaptic, and updating anything. x.x I keep getting a E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
[19:11] <BioS615> The error persists through reinstallation of both the usual desktop iso and the alternate, and I've already sudo rm /var/apt/lists* -vf && sudo apt-get update several times, to no avail.
[19:11] <harisund> dr_willis: I don't think the bot knows anything about motd apparently
[19:11] <BioS615> And its in a virtual machine running the latest installation of Virtualbox.
[19:11] <tucemiux> metadan: youre confusing yourself -- youre not supposed to have any data on that partition, it should look like this-->[partitionONE][PartitionTWO][partitionTHREE][Extended partition->|a||b|]
[19:11] <harisund> dr_willis: What's the service? I don't seem to see any .. where's it?
[19:12] <metadan> tucemiux, ok, yeah i misunderstood you. thanks
[19:13] <dr_willis> harisund,  i recall there being some init scruipts that generate the motd
[19:14] <dr_willis> i cant even fuind them now.. i looked it up once ages ago
[19:14] <harisund> I googled for that, and the last interesting information I found was from a forum post in 2007 referring to the then version of Ubuntu
[19:14] <harisund> dr_willis: I know what you are talking about, I don't think they are valid in the current versions of Ubuntu anymore
[19:14] <Pici> harisund: Take a look at the manpage for motd.tail
[19:15] <harisund> cool Pici thanks .. that seems to have something interesting
[19:15] <BioS615> Anybody? "E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages"? Not even sudo rm /var/apt/lists/* -rm && sudo apt-get update helped.
[19:15] <dr_willis> time go grep stuff in /etc/ for motd :)
[19:16] <janisozaur> I have ssh access to one of my machines. how do I mount my drives (like nautilus does, fuse-way) using cli?
[19:16] <theadmin> dr_willis: It's normally /etc/motd
[19:16] <kazu> thats a pretty cool unregged user bot
[19:17] <harisund> dr_willis: checking the man page for motd.tail will give you what you need, for the most part .. that's what I was looking for atleast
[19:17] <theadmin> kazu: What?
[19:18] <dr_willis> janisozaur,  mount to access from a remote box? or just mount locally?
[19:18] <dr_willis> !mount
[19:18] <koshie> !ubuntu
[19:18] <koshie> :)
[19:18] <Lasers> janisozaur: Make a script!
[19:18] <janisozaur> Lasers, I would, had I known what commands should I use
[19:18] <kazu> theadmin, the bot that filters out unregged users by asking questions. an irc captcha if you will. its neat
[19:19] <eoss> What's the point of being able to send files to a tftp server if the server has to have the name of the file already in the folder...kind of very annoying yes?
[19:19] <theadmin> kazu: Ah
[19:19] <Lasers> janisozaur: mkdir, mount, cd -- That's about it. I think.
[19:19] <janisozaur> dr_willis, just access them on the host I connect to, I can sshfs then
[19:19] <dr_willis> janisozaur,  check the mount command
[19:19] <BioS615> I tried updating the repos through Software Sources and it gives me a list of failed fetches, an example being Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages  0  Ok [IP: 91.189.88.30 80].
[19:20] <BioS615> I'm at wits end with this, anybody have ANY idea?
[19:20] <janisozaur> dr_willis, no, that's not that. user-space, not 'mount'
[19:20] <dr_willis> janisozaur,  i dont see much point in adding another layer on top of mount..  theres the fuse commands if you want.
[19:20] <Luxe> Hey, do you guys know of any way to sync my iPad with Ubuntu 10.10?
[19:21] <janisozaur> dr_willis, yup, that's what i want
[19:21] <koshie> Luxe, Rhythmbox don't do that ?
[19:21] <koshie> Banshee ?
[19:21] <Luxe> o.o
[19:21] <Luxe> No it doesn't ;/
[19:21] <koshie> When you say sync, you speak about music ?
[19:21] <Luxe> Yes indeed.
[19:21] <koshie> IPad are supported on Ubuntu ? ^^'
[19:21] <Luxe> ;o
[19:21] <koshie> IPad 1 ? 2 ?
[19:21] <Luxe> iPad 2?
[19:21] <Luxe> Mine's the 2nd one.
[19:22] <koshie> ?
[19:22] <Luxe> And I also want to get into the actual iPad and get all my music off of it.
[19:22] <Luxe> ;/
[19:22] <Luxe> If any of that is possible as well.
[19:22] <Luxe> ;c
[19:24] <lapaga> Jordan_U, as far as the release of ram goes I think it is probably something that Task Manager in Xubuntu is showing...free is not showing the lack of release of ram...sorry to take a while to respond
[19:25] <BioS615> W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-security_restricted_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch
[19:25] <BioS615> Any idea of this either?
[19:25] <omegaphi> hi, what is the command to start webmin on ubuntu?
[19:26] <IdleOne> !webmin | omegaphi
[19:26] <osse> I just downloaded the Firewall Configuration tool from USC. When I enable ufw I cannot ssh anymore, even when both Incoming and Outgoing are set to 'Allow'
[19:26] <Tyrnis> re
[19:26] <omegaphi> IdleOne : It's installed on my system, I just want to know the command
[19:26] <vandemar> ufw is a horribly simplistic firewall that can easily break stuff
[19:27] <IdleOne> omegaphi: it is not supported on Ubuntu or in here.
[19:27] <shinobilord> vandemar: what's a better alternative to ufw?
[19:27] <omegaphi> ok
[19:27] <vandemar> shinobilord: raw iptables?
[19:27] <BioS615> Heres a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/Ta781cHV And its done this AFTER a fresh reinstallation, several actually.
[19:28] <shinobilord> vandemar: too much work required. what does ufw break?
[19:28] <codebeaker> Ubuntu 104 doesn't appear to have a concept of /etc/env.d/ is that correct?
[19:28] <codebeaker> Did I miss a package, or is it not done that way in Ubuntu land ?
[19:29] <Lasers> Ubuntu 101
[19:29] <Lasers> Heh.
[19:29] <berkes> Anyone who can tell me how to make Firefox 4 use Ubuntu's keyring for storing passwords?
[19:30] <BioS615> So nobody has any clue about this? >_<
[19:30] <Pici> codebeaker: Its not typically done that way in Ubuntulandia.
[19:30] <cyclopse> Just curious to know how does a download manager works?
[19:30] <Pici> !away > savid_haircut
[19:30] <theadmin> berkes: If you want, I think there was some addon which allowed you to have a Master Password for saved passwords in FF, I could find it
[19:31] <theadmin> berkes: Ah, it's actually a built-in function
[19:33] <berkes> theadmin, do you know how I can ativate it then? I don't see any pws showing up, using seahorse to read the wallet file.
[19:35] <Guest85249> guys do you know how can i change my keyboard layout,without going to settings,keyboard,layout,and then chose the layout i want
[19:35] <Guest85249> i use xubuntu
[19:35] <diaphoros> Question: after installing on a new partition (dual boot with Windows 7), GRUB will load Windows just fine but the display will just go black if I try to boot linux - any ideas on what to do?
[19:36] <theadmin> berkes: I mean, to use a master password. Just a suggestion. I don't use those fancy keyrings anyway, I store all passwords in my brain
[19:36] <rypervenche> Guest85249: What keyboard layout do you want, what desktop environment do you use, and what OS do you use?
[19:36] <Guest85249> xubuntu
[19:36] <Guest85249> i want to change between USA and Macedonian
[19:37] <Guest85249> on my other pc i have ubuntu
[19:37] <dazkae> hi all, I've used Ubuntu for a while in the past, but today I tried to install Natty 11.04 on a gateway t-1616 and it's been painful. I got the black screen of death after I booted from my usb stick, but I didn't give up and tried with nomodeset as kernel parameter getting a initramfs prompt telling me /init:line 7: can't open udevadm sttle-timeout of 180 seconds reached. Help could be really really great.
[19:37] <tucemiux> Guest85249: do you have Macedonia language installed on your computer?
[19:38] <codebeaker> thanks Pici
[19:38] <rypervenche> Guest85249: In Xfce you need to have xfce-goodies installed and add the keyboard layout plugin to your panel.
[19:38] <Guest85249> Thank you
[19:38] <Guest85249> :)
[19:39] <tucemiux> dazkae: sounds like a bug particular only to your hardware, what computer and model do you have?
[19:39] <Guest85249> can i find xfce-goodies  in software center
[19:39] <Guest85249> ?
[19:40] <ghoulsblade> anyone know how to minimize pidgin to tray in natty ?
[19:40] <YBH_1> !google http://www.christian-brotherhood.org/
[19:40] <dazkae> tucemiux, I have a gateway t-1616
[19:40] <ikonia> YBH_1: what are you doing ?
[19:41] <creennect> Hola
[19:42] <berkes> theadmin, yea. I store my passwords in the LulzSec-cloud. But thanks anyway :)

[19:43] <bigmahatma> hi, how do I change the folder in which http://localhost/ goes? I'm running apache2.
[19:43] <Goliath> !find qt
[19:43] <km> is there a scheduler/reminder app with alarm i can use?
[19:43] <Pici> bigmahatma: Look at the contents of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
[19:43] <rypervenche> km: There may be one, but you could manually make one with "at"
[19:44] <dazkae> tucemiux, I'll try with the alternate installer.
[19:44] <dazkae> thanks.
[19:44] <bigmahatma> Pici: the file doesn't contain anything useful
[19:44] <Pici> bigmahatma: It sould specify a DocumentRoot iirc.
[19:44] <km> i need some gui app easy to use
[19:44] <bigmahatma> it does not
[19:45] <bigmahatma> any other solution?

[19:47] <vivekrp> Need a help. How to copy a file to root folder over scp?
[19:48] <ikonia> vivekrp: copy it to your local user's directory and move it to root afterwars
[19:48] <ikonia> afterwards
[19:48] <vivekrp> Okay. ikonia thanks
[19:48] <bobo123> why do i get a "dereferencing pointer to incomplete type" error on line 50, here is my code http://pastebin.com/vGNpFibi
[19:49] <ikonia> bobo123: try
[19:49] <ikonia> bobo123: try ##c
[19:49] <bobo123> is this problem because ubuntu or?

[19:49] <d3ngar_> Hey, the gnome3 network manager applet is gone on my desktop. How do I get it back?
[19:49] <ikonia> bobo123: it's for C help
[19:49] <Glink> ikonia, it crashes all the time..
[19:50] <ikonia> Glink: define crashes ?
[19:50] <ikonia> Glink: ok ?
[19:50] <rypervenche> I've been seeing a large rise in Xubuntu users ever since Unity came out.
[19:50] <theadmin> d3ngar_: GNOME3 is unsupported
[19:50] <theadmin> rypervenche: Unsurprising
[19:50] <km> alarm-clock is what i needed
[19:50] <harisund> Glink: What do you mean by connect? Are you trying to tether your PC and cell phone? or are you trying to use your cell phone to access data on it?
[19:50] <d3ngar_> theadmin: :(
[19:51] <d3ngar_> I'll ask in #gnome
[19:51] <Glink> harisund, the second one... I want to access data on it
[19:51] <nikhil_> [00:21] <nikhil_> how can i direct a reply to a particular user here?
[19:52] <Riberty> type /msg [usernames] hello
[19:52] <Goliath> find kdepimlibs
[19:52] <Glink> when I connect my cell to the pc by usb it shows: ''there is no answer from host''
[19:52] <harisund> Glink: What kind of data? If you are trying to access text messages, contacts etc I doubt you can do it, Nokia provides a Nokia PC Suite / Ovi Suite and it is a Windows-only software unfortunately .. however, if it is a microSD card or something you are trying to access?
[19:52] <Goliath> !find kdepimlibs
[19:53] <d3ngar_> Another question: my flash stopped working. I have both gnash with plugins and adoble-flash  plugin installed
[19:53] <nmvictor>  /leave
[19:53] <harisund> Glink my Nokia has different options for USB connectivity, I can connect it either as a modem or a data storage, are you sure you are setting it up as a data storage on your cell phone before plugging it into Ubuntu?
[19:53] <KevinHouse> lol
[19:53] <d3ngar_> I tried removing (purge) and reinstalling it, but no avail
[19:53] <Goliath> SOMEONE ADD A TOOL LIKE !FIND IN APT-GET
[19:53] <Goliath> OMG
[19:53] <Pici> Goliath: Use apt-cache or apt-file
[19:53] <harisund> Goliath: apt-get search?
[19:53] <Goliath> it doesnt say which packages include what i need
[19:54] <nikhil_> how can i direct a reply to a particular user here?
[19:54] <jussi> !info apt-file | Goliath
[19:54] <harisund> Sorry apt-cache search
[19:54] <theadmin> nikhil_: Just say their name in front of your message
[19:54] <Glink> harisund, I have the same options
[19:54] <vivekrp> Guys need a help. I wan to copy a publickey to my ubuntu server on AWS. But its showing an error "Permission denied". What to do? My code: scp -i demo.pem /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub sudo ubuntu@giga.vivekrp.com:/root/.ssh/id_rsa_localbox.pub
[19:54] <theadmin> nikhil_: Hint, type a few first letters and hit "tab". Try typing "thea" and hitting tab
[19:54] <nikhil_> theadmin checking
[19:54] <nikhil_> theadmin: great
[19:54] <escott> d3ngar_, you probably need to uninstall one of them
[19:54] <Glink> none of those works
[19:55] <nikhil_> theadmin: did that worked?
[19:55] <theadmin> nikhil_: Sure
[19:55] <harisund> vivekrp: You can't do it that way. What exactly are you trying to do? What do you want copied? demo.pem?
[19:55] <nikhil_> theadmin: thanks :)
[19:55] <Goliath> apt-file isnt even included by default i have to install it
[19:55] <Glink> Wammu either works
[19:55] <Pici> Goliath: correct.
[19:56] <Glink> wammu doesn't works either
[19:56] <vivekrp> harisund: No. I am trying to copy /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to root folder in server.
[19:56] <vivekrp> how to mention someone in IRC ?
[19:56] <maco> vivekrp: say their name
[19:56] <dlyneswork> vivekrp, preface your 'say' with their name
[19:57] <Glink> when I do a lsusb on a terminal the cellphone doesn't appears on the list
[19:57] <maco> vivekrp: if you start typing their name and hit tab it can auto-complete too
[19:57] <vivekrp> harisund: No. I am trying to copy /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to root folder in server.
[19:57] <theadmin> nikhil_: No problem
[19:57] <harisund> vivekrp: Here's the syntax for copying files over through scp --> scp <localfile> <username>@<remote_machine_name>:<location where it should go on the remote server>
[19:57] <theadmin> nikhil_: And thanks for saying "thanks", not many these days do
[19:57] <maco> vivekrp: you can use ssh-copy-id as well
[19:58] <dlyneswork> If I get through the kernel boot, the drive checks, and then I get the line '* Starting AppArmor profiles', but then Ubuntu just hangs and never finishes, what could be wrong with the startup?  Is there any way to force Ubuntu to skip whatever it is that it seems to be hung up on?
[19:58] <vivekrp> harisund: Yes same thing i did. i can copy my files to other folder. but its not giving me access to copy to root folder
[19:58] <harisund> vivekrp: Do you have access to root folder on the remote machine?
[19:59] <Glink> so I just can't to connect it right?
[20:00] <harisund> Glink: When you plug the phone into the laptop, what is the output of "dmesg"? Do the last few lines of dmesg say anything relevant?
[20:00] <dlyneswork> Glink, it depends on whether your system recognizes that particular cellphone device, or not
[20:00] <vivekrp> harisund: Yes. But when i login to my server using root@giga.vivekrp.com it says : "Please login as the user "ubuntu" rather than the user "root"." So after loging using ubuntu@giga.vivekrp.com i'll type sudo su then it will be logged as root.
[20:00] <dlyneswork> Glink, Not all cellphones are discoverable as mass storage
[20:00] <harisund> vivekrp: So here's what you do. First, you copy it over as user "ubuntu" into "ubuntu"'s home folder
[20:00] <ohbidtech> howdy all. I am having problems with an LDAP install on Ubuntu Server 11. Following the step by step guide I missed the section for my password on the backend configuration. Can I change that?
[20:01] <Glink> I had prove all the options
[20:01] <harisund> vivekrp: Start with this step - scp filename ubuntu@remotemachine:~/
[20:01] <spoudastis> Question: I repartitioned and installed backtrack (variant of Ubuntu it seems) alongside Windows 7, but whenever I try to launch it from GRUB the display just goes black indefinitely - any ideas what to do?
[20:01] <_Lucifer_> is there a single package to install all available Desktop Environments/Window Managers rather than installing each one as a different package?
[20:01] <asdfjkl_> hello, is there any cli command that will tell me how many sata ports there are on a motherboard?
[20:01] <harisund> vivekrp: Basically on giga.vivekrp.com root is not allowed to access through SSH, so you can't directly do it.
[20:02] <oCean> spoudastis: backtrack linux is not supported here, try #backtrack-linux
[20:02] <ZykoticK9_> _Lucifer_, no - that metapackage would have VERY limited use
[20:02] <ShadowBelmolve> anyone can help me sharing internet via wifi on 11.04? I'm trying with network manager but my other notebook can't connect to it and my phone not see the connection D:
[20:03] <grifo74> how i  use the drivers my ati : If the drivers are installed i make a remaster with the drivers ati
[20:03] <Glink> harisund, I sent those lines on a private dialog window
[20:03] <grifo74> i use 10.04
[20:03] <spoudastis> oCean: I have, and it seems rather dead. I thought that the solution would probably be very close (if not the same) to what it would be if I were running Ubuntu.
[20:03] <vivekrp> harisund: When i try to copy using ubuntu username and to home folder of that user using this code : scp -i demo.pem /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub sudo ubuntu@giga.vivekrp.com:/id_rsa_localbox.pub
[20:03] <vivekrp>  
[20:03] <vivekrp> Its again giving error : scp: /id_rsa_localbox.pub: No such file or directory
[20:03] <dlyneswork> ZykoticK9_, I don't know...I'd kinda like to see that metapackage, myself...just to try out the different window managers, and see if there's something i like better than gnome or kde
[20:04] <_Lucifer_> ZykotiK9_  I figured, but it was worth a shot. is there a list of all available ones and their package names then?
[20:04] <oCean> spoudastis: unfortunately no, we cannot provide support for all derivatives, sorry
[20:04] <vivekrp> harisund: Its again giving error : scp: /id_rsa_localbox.pub: No such file or directory
[20:04] <harisund> vivekrp: where is the file located on your computer?
[20:04] <escott> asdfjkl_, lshw -C storage
[20:04] <vivekrp> harisund: /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[20:04] <asdfjkl_> thanks much escott
[20:04] <spoudastis> spoudastis: alright, thanks any way.
[20:04] <harisund> vivekrp: And you are logged in as root on your local machine? What was the exact command you gave?
[20:04] <spoudastis> oCean: alright, thanks any way.
[20:04] <ZykoticK9_> _Lucifer_, if the big 3 or 4 you could search for *buntu-desktop perhaps
[20:05] <TrentonDAdams> Can I configure ubuntu not to add my ssh keys to ssh-agent automatically?
[20:05] <dlyneswork> _Lucifer_, apt-cache search window | grep -iE "window manager|desktop environment" doesn't do it for you?
[20:05] <ZykoticK9_> _Lucifer_, s/if/for/
[20:05] <omegaphi> hi, how do I start mysql from ubuntu terminal?
[20:05] <vivekrp> harisund: Yes. I logged as root on my local machine. Command : scp -i demo.pem /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub sudo ubuntu@giga.vivekrp.com:/id_rsa_localbox.pub
[20:05] <Jordan_U> omegaphi: sudo service mysql start
[20:06] <vivekrp> harisund: I am trying to do it as per this post : http://goo.gl/Kx7Ab But its not working
[20:06] <harisund> vivekrp: When you are copying to the remote machine, you don't have access to the / location .. try this first - scp -i demo.pem /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ubuntu@giga.vivekrp.com:~/id_rsa_localbox.pub
[20:06] <Corey> omegaphi: /etc/init.d/mysql start
[20:07] <Corey> harisund: ssh-copy-id does a better job. :-)
[20:07] <Corey> harisund: And doesn't wind up in permissions failure mode.
[20:07] <Lasers> Corey: +1
[20:07] <vivekrp> harisund: Worked :)
[20:07] <omegaphi> Jordan_U and Corey , how do I reach to mysql> prompt after starting the service?
[20:07] <Corey> omegaphi: mysql
[20:07] <Goliath> !find qca-dev
[20:07] <Goliath> !find qca
[20:08] <Corey> omegaphi: You may have to pass it a user with -u and indicate to prompt for a password with -p
[20:08] <omegaphi> Corey : ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[20:08] <Corey> omegaphi: You sure it's running?
[20:08] <dlyneswork> omegaphi, man mysql
[20:08] <oCean> dlyneswork: that is not helpful
[20:08] <omegaphi> Corey : I have PHPmyadmin on my system too, which is working
[20:08] <Corey> dlyneswork: While correct, it doesn't really solve his issue. :-)
[20:08] <Corey> omegaphi: I'm sorry to hear that.
[20:09] <omegaphi> Corey : Doesn't it use mysql only
[20:09] <dlyneswork> oCean, sure it is...it lists all the possible arguments for the program
[20:09] <Corey> omegaphi: netstat -antp to a pastebin, please.
[20:09] <oCean> dlyneswork: don't suggest again, thanks
[20:09] <TrentonDAdams> Can I make ubuntu stop caching all of my ssh-keys with ssh-agent?  I want to cache only some of them.
[20:10] <dlyneswork> oCean, i wasn't trying to be a smart ass...he didn't seem to know even the first thing about mysql
[20:10] <oCean> dlyneswork: that is why we are here
[20:10] <vivekrp> harisund: Thanks man. Now i copied it to root folder :)
[20:10] <oCean> dlyneswork: when trying to help, be actually helpful, or be quiet
[20:10] <harisund> vivekrp: Now you login as ubuntu on your giga box and then copy it over into the root directory over there, but I don't think that is of much help to you since you anyway can't login as root into giga
[20:10] <omegaphi> Corey : http://codepad.org/QHLA1jZI
[20:10] <Corey> oCean: You could put a nicer spin on it. :-)
[20:10] <harisund> vivekrp: sure :) good luck
[20:11] <ohbidtech> howdy all. I am having problems with an LDAP install on Ubuntu Server 11. Following the step by step guide I missed the section for my password on the backend configuration. Can I change that?
[20:11] <vivekrp> harisund: I can login as root when i am logged in as ubuntu. just have to command sudo su
[20:11] <harisund> vivekrp: yes, but you can't SSH into your giga box as root, right?
[20:12] <ZykoticK9_> vivekrp, "sudo -i" it the ubuntu approved method to start a root terminal.  harisund
[20:12] <Corey> oCean: Yeah, it's running and listening on localhost.  mysql --host=localhost
[20:12] <vivekrp> harisund: But is there any way to login directly to root@giga.vivekrp.com
[20:12] <Corey> Er, that was to omegaphi
[20:12] <harisund> vivekrp: You might have to enable the root user, and then you just might have to change the SSH permissions somewhere to allow for root to login
[20:12] <vivekrp> harisund: Or can i make ubuntu or other user name vivek as root? ZykoticK9_
[20:12] <escott> vivekrp, usually direct login is disabled in your /etc/ssh config. its somewhat of a security risk to allow direct root login
[20:13] <omegaphi> Corey : still the same error :-o
[20:13] <vivekrp> harisund: I enabled root login. But cant login from ssh. I don't know how to change it
[20:13] <harisund> vivekrp: there's a file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and somewhere around line 25 there's a line "PermitRootLogin" .. you need to make sure that is yes, and then you need to give a password to the root user
[20:13] <escott> vivekrp, if you don't have a root password a better approach is to set an authorized key for that user
[20:13] <jakemp> can I just copy my ubuntu install to a new hdd, and change my grub entry?
[20:13] <vivekrp> escott: I have root password.
[20:14] <omegaphi> Corey : Basically I Want to access mysql from terminal so that I could import a huge file, I can access it via phpmyadmin
[20:14] <Corey> omegaphi:  mysql --host=localhost --protocol=TCP
[20:14] <omegaphi> Corey : Working now!
[20:14] <Corey> omegaphi: Yay.
[20:14] <vivekrp> harisund: Okay. Opened that file using vim. now checking for those lines
[20:15] <omegaphi> Corey : Awesome! Thanks :D
[20:15] <Corey> omegaphi: Is this some kind of VPS?
[20:15] <Corey> omegaphi: Odd that it's not creating a local socket.
[20:15] <omegaphi> Corey : Nope, it's on my local system only
[20:15] <vivekrp> harisund: It is "PermitRootLogin yes"
[20:16] <harisund> vivekrp: And what exactly is the error when you login as ssh root@giga.vivekrp.com or whatever?
[20:16] <vivekrp> harisund: Please login as the user "ubuntu" rather than the user "root".
[20:16] <vivekrp> harisund: Btw my server is on AWS Ec2
[20:17] <mman> does anybody know a similar program than cPanel for Ubuntu?
[20:17] <siemoslaw> hi
[20:17] <siemoslaw> how do i hide file's extension in ubuntu?
[20:17] <dlyneswork> mman, You're wanting virtual domain management software?
[20:18] <mman> siemoslaw, put a dot "." before the file
[20:18] <dlyneswork> mman, I'm asking because there's more than one application called 'cPanel'
[20:18] <ZykoticK9_> mman, siemoslaw a dot before will hide the whole file
[20:18] <harisund> http://alestic.com/2009/04/ubuntu-ec2-sudo-ssh-rsync vivekrp the "root ssh" section has something of relevance, can you check?
[20:18] <bobert> the dot just makes it a hiddne file
[20:18] <siemoslaw> i don't want to make a hidden file
[20:18] <mman> dlyneswork, well i want.. let me tell u exactly
[20:19] <siemoslaw> i've got "minecraft.jar" and i want it to show only "minecraft"
[20:19] <mman> ZykoticK9_, sorry i read the question again and understoo the file :P
[20:19] <bobert> just mv minecraft.jar minecraft
[20:19] <ZykoticK9_> siemoslaw, hiding the extension isn't something common on gnu/linux
[20:19] <milehigh> I have a machine which I suspend pretty frequently, if I resume it in a short period of time everything works well, if I wait a longer time (seems to be around 2-3 hrs is the cutoff), the system won't resume and does a cold boot instead, any idea what might be happening?
[20:19] <siemoslaw> i tried deleting ".jar" part, but it changes it to a zip archive
[20:19] <siemoslaw> so i cant do it?
[20:19] <escott> siemoslaw, a jar is a zip
[20:19] <bobert> a jar is a zip archive
[20:19] <siemoslaw> i know
[20:20] <dlyneswork> siemoslaw, A jar file is a zip file; it just has a .jar extension, so that you mentally associate it with a 'J'ava 'AR'chive
[20:20] <acastanheira> can someone please help me with xorg, I know that now it does not use xorg.conf anymore, but my display is not showing the correct resulation
[20:20] <mman> dlyneswork, the "normal" cPanel/WHM
[20:20] <acastanheira> and I dont know how to do it in the new method
[20:20] <escott> siemoslaw, its not traditional to hide the extension. there might be an option in the filemanager, but its not usually encourages
[20:20] <xskydevilx> I'm using a derivative based of Lucid, and whenever I try to install anything (via apt-get) I get an error saying something about nvidia drivers.
[20:20] <dlyneswork> mman, WHM?
[20:20] <siemoslaw> ok, thanks
[20:20] <dlyneswork> mman, window manager?
[20:20] <vivekrp> harisund: Hey Its working. Now i can login using root over ssh. Thanks a lot :)
[20:21] <siemoslaw> i'll google it
[20:21] <siemoslaw> may the force be with you
[20:21] <ohbidtech> howdy all. I am having problems with an LDAP install on Ubuntu Server 11. Following the step by step guide I missed the section for my password on the backend configuration. Can I change that?
[20:22] <DiffEq> have file with one command per line.  if i use 'sh filename' the commands fail, but if i cut and past to terminal window they do work......  any way to get one line at a time and execute using a loop structure?
[20:22] <mman> dlyneswork, no, that is the .. just forgot the name exactly, but its where you config the whole thing
[20:22] <dlyneswork> mman, ok, so you mean the commercial software, 'cPanel', then

[20:22] <okonisfree> Hello! I am pretty much a n00b to Linux. I just installed the latest Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 which was already on my laptop. How do I get the boot loader to have default selected the last OS that was booted up. For example, if I booted Windows last time, and I restart, is it possible for the boot loader to have Windows automatically selected instead of the permanent default Ubuntu? And same goes with selecting Ubuntu if that wa
[20:22] <mman> dlyneswork, yes, whichone where you talking about?
[20:23] <dlyneswork> mman, there's several alternatives...are you looking for free, or commercial, or don't care?  Do you want both Windows and Linux supported, or only Linux?
[20:23] <Shoruken> in order for a php file to update its output in real time, output buffering and gzip compression both need to be off, right?
[20:23] <dlyneswork> mman, I've never heard it called a 'WHM'; and I use something similar for a lot more than just hosting websites
[20:23] <ZykoticK9_> okonisfree, to my knowledge grub2 doesn't support that feature
[20:23] <nels_> Quick question...I'm trying to install the latest Ubuntu version and its hanging at the "Preparing to install ubuntu" screen. Anyone know why this may be?
[20:24] <mman> dlyneswork, i would prefer a free! but with same things or similar than cPanel. That you basically install cPanel and it installs apache, mail server, dns server, etc etc with "few" clicks
[20:24] <dlyneswork> mman, anyways...as I stated earlier, there's 2 or 3 applications (possibly more) that use the name 'cPanel'
[20:24] <mman> dlyneswork, and for linux
[20:24] <ohbidtech> nells_ Are you installing from a CD? The CD May be damaged
[20:24] <bobert> okonisree: have you tried editing menu.lst
[20:24] <okonisfree> ZykoticK9_: ah...okay that's unfortunate. Oh well. Unless another boot loader does? Or is that not recommended?
[20:24] <acastanheira> can someone please help me with xorg, I know that now it does not use xorg.conf anymore, but my display is not showing the correct resolution,and I dont know how to do it in the new method
[20:25] <bobert> add or change the default line to say : default saved
[20:25] <ZykoticK9_> okonisfree, to my knowledge i know of no way to accomplish what you're looking for - but i only have used lilo, grub and grub2
[20:25] <oCean> mman: I'm quite satisfied with openpanel
[20:25] <mman> dlyneswork, to be in the same "cpanel" meaning.. i mean cpanel.com
[20:25] <escott> okonisfree, rename the os_prober file in /etc/grub.d to 07_os_prober and rerun grub-setup
[20:25] <Lasers> !xorg | acastanheira
[20:25] <mman> oCean, is it more or less what i describe?
[20:26] <ZykoticK9_> escott, that's not going to remember which was last booted!
[20:26] <oCean> mman: manage users/websites/mysql/domains/ftp/mail
[20:26] <traskers> I'm not the only one running into the "grub>" prompt at boot, am I?
[20:26] <escott> ZykoticK9_, ahhh didnt see that was what he was trying
[20:27] <mman> oCean, sweet!! and it installs it by its own? i mean once you install openpanel it will install the rest of the services?
[20:27] <ZykoticK9_> traskers, no - that's a common error.  Grub is messed up
[20:27] <BluesKaj> traskers, only if you have multiple OSs or have the time setting higher than 0
[20:27] <okonisfree> And escott, okay I will try that. Though I haven't a clue exactly what I'm doing haha
[20:27] <BluesKaj> timeout
[20:27] <acastanheira> thanks Lasers, but that link talks about xorg.conf that does not exist anymore in ubuntu 11.04
[20:27] <escott> okonisfree, that only puts windows first it doesn't remember
[20:27] <traskers> BluesKaj, I only have one OS and my timer is the default 0 o.O
[20:27] <nit-wit> traskers, it happens what is your install setup?
[20:27] <traskers> nit-wit, what do you mean, exactly?
[20:27] <okonisfree> escott, nevermind
[20:27] <ohbidtech> howdy all. I am having problems with an LDAP install on Ubuntu Server 11. Following the step by step guide I missed the section for my password on the backend configuration. Can I change that?
[20:27] <nels_> ohbitech, yes I am, although I just pulled it out of a new pack of CDs and burnt it
[20:27] <okonisfree> ok
[20:27] <eoss> Anyone want to help me troubleshoot my tftp server? I can transfer files from the host the server is on to the server, just not from another node on the network
[20:27] <dlyneswork> mman, Ok free:  virtualmin/webmin/usermin, LXCenter     Paid/commercial:  cPanel, HSphere, Plesk, DirectAdmin
[20:28] <escott> okonisfree, grub2 does have some kind of save default feature. not sure how it works though
[20:28] <dlyneswork> mman, those are just a small sampling...there's many more out there
[20:28] <oCean> mman: it's modular, you can add whatever options you want after you installed main product
[20:28] <BluesKaj> traskers, then ZykoticK9_ , could be right in your case
[20:28] <Lasers> acastanheira: Create a xorg.conf -- It'll use that if it detected it.
[20:28] <oCean> mman: I use it on ubuntu (web/mail)servers
[20:28] <ZykoticK9_> !webmin | dlyneswork mman
[20:28] <th0r> eoss: firewall?
[20:28] <nit-wit> traskers, in order to help it helps to know what is installed, for examplr afre you miltubooting? and with what.
[20:28] <acastanheira> ok will do, thank you
[20:28] <escott> okonisfree, try http://superuser.com/questions/95828/making-default-saved-work-with-grub2
[20:28] <dlyneswork> mman, HSphere has the additional benefit of being able to manage virtual hosting on both Windows and Linux
[20:28] <eoss> th0r: port 69 udp is wide open in and out on both machines

[20:29] <okonisfree> escott, okay i'm looking at it...
[20:29] <traskers> nit-wit, just Natty (customised to elementary Luna), no multi-booting, just upgraded my kernel last night.
[20:29] <omar> Buenas tardes
[20:29] <th0r> eoss: did you change ftp from 21?
[20:29] <eoss> th0r nope
[20:29] <dlyneswork> ZykoticK9_, Really?  Not even if you download it as a debian package?
[20:29] <omar> some here speak spanish?
[20:29] <LaGi> omar si ....
[20:29] <Pici> !es | omar
[20:29] <nit-wit> traskers, so you can't bot in just getting the >grub prompt?
[20:29] <ZykoticK9_> dlyneswork, the #debian channel has only harsh things to say about webmin ;)
[20:29] <nit-wit> *boot
[20:30] <eoss> th0r im getting a Time out response ...Could it be file owner or something?
[20:30] <Sean-Der> Is it possible to store a "Persistance" file on a USB when booting from a CD
[20:30] <ohbidtech> Is there a replacement for Webmin?
[20:30] <omar> Hola LaGi, no sé si me prodrías ayudar, soy novato. Podrías amig@?
[20:30] <dlyneswork> ZykoticK9_, not that I use it myself anymore, but, never heard about that before, either
[20:30] <eoss> th0r Ive got the file in the tftpboot folder and its 777 permissions
[20:30] <traskers> nit-wit, correct. I had to load the kernel and initrd.img manually. I had this problem just a few days ago and ended up just restoring my system because I couldn't figure it out.
[20:30] <Lasers> Sean-Der: Boot from CD -- Plug in USB. Save something to USB. You mean that?
[20:30] <ZykoticK9_> dlyneswork, the debian factoid: Webmin is a lame web-based interface for unsafe system administration for Unix.  Check it out at http://webmin.com/  Remember, dondelelcaro *hates* webmin.  "i'd rather sit on the floor shoving table knives into live electrical outlets than run webmin on an exposed server."

[20:30] <omar> #ubuntu-es
[20:31] <Shoruken> how do i disable gzip compression? it's in the phar extension, i have looked and found no way to disable either
[20:31] <th0r> eoss: you can log in but not transfer files?
[20:31] <dlyneswork> ZykoticK9_, well, there's that about webmin, but I never ran it with external access, anyways
[20:31] <Sean-Der> !Lasers yes
[20:31] <mman> dlyneswork, and with any of those can you install xen or something similar for creating and administrating VPSs?
[20:31] <Sean-Der> Lasers yes
[20:31] <eoss> th0r I believe so yes, Im typing connect <server ip> and its no error
[20:31] <th0r> eoss: are you logging in?
[20:32] <Sean-Der> So I could save installed software or common /home/~ things?
[20:32] <Lasers> Sean-Der: Sure. I don't see why you can't. Assuming you aren't booting Ubuntu from USB.
[20:32] <eoss> th0r Im not sure, im just not getting an error when I connect, then when I use put or get I get a time out on the transfer
[20:32] <eoss> th0r, I can send you a wireshark output of this if youd like
[20:32] <okonisfree> escott: okay, bobert told me earlier "add or change the default line to say : default saved" in menu.lst i guess this might be the same thing
[20:32] <dlyneswork> mman, LXCenter, CPanel and DirectAdmin are all OpenVZ compatible
[20:32] <nit-wit> traskers, here is al ink for reloading grub read carefully.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy%20LiveCD%20Files   here is alink to supergrub2 this can be used to get in a reload grub from the install itself. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
[20:32] <th0r> eoss: the timeout is because you aren't logged in to the server.
[20:32] <Success> hey im trying to install palm sdk
[20:32] <Success> but i cant use deb terminal cmd for some reason
[20:32] <th0r> eoss: if you haven't entered a username and password you aren't connected
[20:33] <Sean-Der> I am booting from a USB, its a collection of ISOs booting with GRUB
[20:33] <ZykoticK9_> Success, what command are you using?
[20:33] <Success> deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid non-free
[20:33] <eoss> th0r I see...
[20:33] <mman> dlyneswork, oCean thanks to you! i will try to install them and try :D
[20:34] <th0r> eoss: and if you can't log in, I would suspect the firewall...check the ftp port...it is either 21 or 22...one is ssh the other ftp....can't recall right now
[20:34] <ZykoticK9_> Success, that isn't a command - that's a source entry
[20:34] <Success> hu?
[20:34] <Sean-Der> But I still have r/w for the root of the USB
[20:34] <theadmin> Success: The command to install a .deb package is "dpkg -i somefile.deb", with dependency resolution - "gdebi somefile.deb", without dependency check - "ar x somefile.deb data.tar.gz ; sudo tar xvf data.tar.gz -C / ; rm data.tar.gz"
[20:34] <NAiL> I'm trying to install 11.04 using the alternate desktop install, but it fails on "Select and install software". The log shows that a bunch of X11-related packages "is not installable". Anyone got a clue what's wrong?
[20:34] <eoss> th0r ftp is 20,21, ssh is 22 I know this because I just got the question wrong in an interview!
[20:34] <nit-wit> traskers, notice that for reloading grub in Natty from a live cd that yopu only want to use a Natty cd
[20:34] <Success> i want to do this -> https://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=page&id=1585
[20:34] <th0r> eoss: yeah...been a while. Anyway, make sure those ports are open on the firewall.
[20:35] <NAiL> (I've tried googling, but can't get any useful results)
[20:35] <ZykoticK9_> Success, see what step on actually says?  "Update the Package Repository Information to /etc/apt/sources.list:"
[20:35] <th0r> eoss: there should also be an ftp log...check to see if ftpd is even seeing an attempt
[20:35] <dlyneswork> mman, if you go to vpsville.ca and click on 'vps plans', there's links to those three websites (please don't take it as an endorsement for vpsville); there's also a link to openvz
[20:35] <eoss> th0r alright thanks will do those two thing snow
[20:35] <ZykoticK9_> Success, s/on/one/
[20:35] <Success> im confused
[20:36] <dlyneswork> mman, fwiw, openvz is vpe software, rather than vps software
[20:36] <Sean-Der> Because I saw that you can save a persistance file when creating a Bootable USB
[20:36] <Success> so i just do the last part?
[20:36] <Sean-Der> But mine is just mouting ISOs as /dev/sr0 so the computer thinks its booting from CD
[20:36] <ZykoticK9_> Success, what version of ubuntu are you using?  that repository is for lucid?  are you using lucid?  it "might" still work anyways.
[20:36] <Success> 11.04
[20:36] <mman> dlyneswork, im just starting my own "data center" slowly, but have to see which would be the best control panel to use
[20:36] <ubuntu__> hello
[20:37] <Success> i just did the wget and the update pat
[20:37] <Success> and continued
[20:37] <Sean-Der> "boot=casper"??
[20:37] <traskers> nit-wit, I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand that?
[20:37] <nit-wit> traskers, which part?
[20:37] <ZykoticK9_> Success, use the steps at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads to install virtualbox properly
[20:38] <drudge01> Evening everyone
[20:38] <Success> omg virtualbox i hate vbox
[20:38] <drudge01> South Africa in the house
[20:38] <traskers> nit-wit, are you saying that I should try to reload grub from a Natty CD? I tried that the last time this happened and it didn't do anything for me.
[20:38] <ZykoticK9_> Success, that's what step one is all about - you didn't notice virtualbox in your posted line?
[20:38] <Success> i noticded
[20:38] <Success> im on step three
[20:38] <Success> then i went to ur link
[20:38] <dlyneswork> mman, fwiw, HSphere and Plesk both have their share of problems, and HSphere has notoriously high support costs
[20:38] <Hunterm> et
[20:39] <dlyneswork> mman, that being said, Plesk has a very easy to use interface, and HSphere's main benefit is being able to host in a hybrid environment
[20:39] <Chotaz> When I try running tar xvfz xammp*.tar.gz -C /opt after a fresh ubuntu isntall I get this error: 'tar: Skipping to next header'
[20:39] <nit-wit> traskers, that is the way its done or from the booted install, you may have not done it correctly, can you pastebin the output of running this command on th live cd.   sudo fdisk -l
[20:40] <ZykoticK9_> Chotaz, i don't think you can use * with tar
[20:40] <traskers> nit-wit, I'm in my install right now.
[20:40] <Chotaz> ZykoticK9_, does the same with full filename
[20:40] <mman> dlyneswork, so Plesk would be your recommendation?
[20:41] <Success> how misspell paswird
[20:41] <ZykoticK9_> Chotaz, writing to /opt might require root - so sudo privs?
[20:41] <nit-wit> traskers, cool so you can reload grub from there easily
[20:41] <traskers> nit-wit, http://pastebin.com/SnCT2JfY from my booted install
[20:41] <traskers> nit-wit, yeah, I tried that the last time this happened, and nothing changed, though?
[20:41] <ZykoticK9_> Chotaz, xammp is silly on ubuntu
[20:41] <Success> i did a sudo and it said i missplled it
[20:41] <Chotaz> ZykoticK9_, what do you suggest me then?
[20:42] <ZykoticK9_> Chotaz, simply installing apache/etc using the built in packages!
[20:42] <the-gibson> anyone know how I can have nautilus give me the path instead of the stupid folder buttons?
[20:42] <ZykoticK9_> the-gibson, ctrl+L (only works temporarily)
[20:42] <dean> Does anyone know how to record into audacity with guitarix using jack?
[20:43] <the-gibson> ZykoticK9_, thanks know of anyway to make it permantent
[20:43] <Chotaz> ZykoticK9_, what about lamp-server?
[20:43] <nels_> Anyone have any idea why the ubuntu installer would be hanging at "Prepare to install ubuntu"?
[20:43] <ZykoticK9_> the-gibson, no sorry i don't.
[20:43] <ZykoticK9_> Chotaz, that would work, from tasksel
[20:43] <dlyneswork> mman, Don't know, as I haven't tried the others
[20:43] <traskers> nit-wit, sudo grub-install ?
[20:43] <Success> brb
[20:44] <DamnSoGood> hey dudes, how can i make a live usb to be a substitute for cdrom and make it as medium for uprade in the software sources?
[20:44] <nit-wit> traskers, in the terminal run sudo grub-install /dev/sda  you should see a no error answer in the terminal then run sudo update-grub
[20:44] <dlyneswork> mman, I've tried HSphere and hated it.  I've tried Plesk and although I love the interface, I hate the package management end of things; it forces you onto Centos, and if you do a yum update, you'll break the system...you have to wait until a new Plesk version comes out, and then use the Plesk upgrade command
[20:44] <Chotaz> ZykoticK9_, ok I installed tasksel and am running 'tasksel install lamp-server' now
[20:44] <traskers> nit-wit, just ran both, any other suggestions before I reboot to give it a shot?
[20:45] <ZykoticK9_> DamnSoGood, only the alternate cd can be used for upgrades - not sure what USB options there are for it (if that's what you mean?)
[20:45] <dlyneswork> mman, but in general, Plesk probably has the most well thought out, professionally designed interface
[20:45] <mman> dlyneswork, im now trying openpanel, lets see what it brings :P
[20:45] <nit-wit> traskers, that is supposed to fix it if you have grub installed correctly and you haven't mixed grub-legacy in by accident.
[20:46] <xskydevilx> Opening "software-center" in Lucid pretty much doesn't do anything. Here's the output from the terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/628143/
[20:46] <DamnSoGood> i want to use the usb drive for the software source
[20:46] <traskers> nit-wit, alright, I'll give it a shot. Hopefully I have better luck this time than the other day. Thanks for the assistance, I'll let you know how it goes :P
[20:46] <nit-wit> traskers,cool should work.;)
[20:46] <melfy> anyone know how to make a script to start a terminal on boot up on a diff virtual screen running a script?
[20:47] <ZykoticK9_> xskydevilx, "Joli OS" if you aren't using Ubuntu you should contact your distros support
[20:47] <frantisek> ahoj
[20:47] <xskydevilx> ZykoticK9_, If they had one, I would
[20:47] <frantisek> poradite nekdo s open suse
[20:48] <frantisek> prosim
[20:48] <traskers> nit-wit, nope.
[20:49] <Queops> I have nvidia drivers installed, and using dual monitor, each monitor is a different screen. How do I pass the open windows from one screen to another?? This is silly but dragging doesnt work
[20:49] <kiichiro> hey
[20:49] <nit-wit> traskers, so you have two HD is the Ubuntu a slave or the other or a extyernal.
[20:50] <traskers> nit-wit, I have an external HDD, yes.
[20:50] <ZykoticK9_> Queops, you can't.  you can somehow start things on the other monitor, i forget how.  Use Twinview if you want it to act as one big monitor that you can drag windows between.
[20:50] <nit-wit> traskers, the bigger one correct
[20:50] <Queops> Ohhhhhhhhhh :(
[20:50] <traskers> nit-wit, correct.
[20:50] <Queops> ZykoticK9_, how is there a simple way to do that?
[20:50] <Queops> and is there*
[20:50] <ZykoticK9_> Queops, do what?
[20:50] <strata_> i am running maverick and i need a program that only uses ALSA to integrate with pulseaudio so i can control its volume in the gnome audio properties app. how can i do this?
[20:50] <Queops> that twinview thingie
[20:51] <raido> Queops: System>Pref>Nvdia Settings
[20:51] <hendrixski> I can't get IVY to work right for the life of me
[20:51] <ZykoticK9_> Queops, use nvidia-settings and select twinview instead of separate
[20:51] <george__> coldfront.net
[20:51] <Queops> Oh it's on nvidia settings? *slap*
[20:51] <dean> does anyone know why i can't record guitarix into audacity using jack? I can do it with rakarrack but not guitarix...
[20:51] <eoss> Hmm, Anyone want to help me troubleshoot my tftp server..i can send files to it form the same machine just not from another machine in the network...
[20:51] <hendrixski> It always tries to download javadoc jars
[20:51] <hendrixski> and I don't know WHERE on IRC I can go
[20:51] <eoss> firewall settings have 20,21,69 wide open on both machines
[20:51] <hendrixski> there doesn't seem to be an #ivy channel
[20:52] <hendrixski> and the google results for what's happening are confusing as all hell
[20:52] <frantisek> hello
[20:52] <raido> eoss: pastbin your config file
[20:52] <hendrixski> I could really use seomeones help to make sense of it all
[20:52] <theadmin> Hey frantisek
[20:52] <mattbd> eoss:What about the settings for your tftp server? Most servers tend to have a setting that specifies who can connect to it
[20:52] <nit-wit> traskers, I would unplug it I wonder if there is a grub loaded to its, mbr run this script and paste bin all the text, have the external plugged in for this part though. The script will give you and us a what is where more exactly.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/    This can be run from the cd or the OS.
[20:52] <eoss> raido: http://pastebin.com/AChCF7As
[20:53] <eoss> I just found that config online and used it, someone mentioned authenticating users..??
[20:53] <Queops> ZykoticK9_, I thought twinview was a replica of the first screen lool. How do i make it go lower, the smaller screen? Any tips?
[20:54] <ZykoticK9_> Queops, i used it with non-identical sized monitors as well, i never found a solution to the location of the smaller monitor.  Best of luck.
[20:55] <eoss> mattbd http://pastebin.com/AChCF7As
[20:55] <Queops> ZykoticK9_, I see, thanks so much anyway
[20:55] <NAiL> Figured out my problem. For some reason I had no IP.
[20:55] <traskers> nit-wit, http://pastebin.com/1MP5H9ET
[20:56] <mattbd> eoss:Can you connect to the appropriate port via telnet? That might help troubleshoot the problem
[20:57] <dlyneswork> Is there a boot parameter I can pass into grub so that the apparmor startup will be more verbose?
[20:58] <eoss> mattbd: no i dont have telnet setup nor the port 23 opened >.<
[20:58] <raido> eoss: do, netstat -a | grep tftp
[20:58] <mattbd> eoss: What I mean is have you tried connecting using telnet localhost 69
[20:59] <Benfclark> Hey, I recently installed ubuntu 11.04 on a laptop of mine and it's been getting these random hangs and crashes
[20:59] <eoss> raido: udp        0             0       *:tftp                             *:*
[20:59] <raido> eoss: good, so it is running
[21:00] <nit-wit> traskers, when you ran the update grub you wer in the install what du=did you see in the teminal, it should list the install.
[21:00] <Chotaz> ZykoticK9_,  hello again, I installed lamp-server and phpmyadmin, but now I'm getting this error when I access phpmyadmin 'Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration.'
[21:00] <Chotaz> ZykoticK9_, i've tried installing php5-mcrypt and restarting apache2, but it still shows up
[21:00] <nit-wit> traskers, sorry for the spelling
[21:00] <ZykoticK9_> Chotaz, sorry - i have no idea.  Good luck.
[21:00] <Chotaz> ZykoticK9_, Thanks anyways :)
[21:00] <eoss> raido: yep, i was able to send a file to the server from the same comp the server was on, just cant from another host in the network... i think its permissions/auth but im not sure
[21:01] <traskers> nit-wit, it only outputs "Generating grub.cfg" and then "done"
[21:01] <ZykoticK9_> Chotaz, the major benefit is you can now get support for your issue in this channel ;)
[21:01] <Benfclark> Can anyone help me with these crashes?
[21:01] <eoss> mattbd: i cant connect to telnet
[21:02] <oCean> eoss: isn't server_args  '-s /tftpboot'  (not sure how it would matter though)
[21:02] <RA_drc> if i want to boot a computer off of a flash drive do i have to "burn" an ubuntu iso to it or can i just copy it?
[21:02] <mattbd> eoss: Telnet can be used to connect to any port you like, so it's a handy tool for testing
[21:02] <ZykoticK9_> Benfclark, crashes seem to be "par for the course" with 11.04, do you know if it was stable with an older version of Ubuntu (or other gnu/linux distro)?
[21:02] <traskers> RA_drc, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[21:02] <raido> eoss: ok, are you wanting a ftp server of are you using this to actually host boot images on the tftp server
[21:02] <mattbd> eoss:Are you able to connect to port 69 using telnet from the same host? And from another host?
[21:02] <Benfclark> ZykoticK9_, It was stable with an older Ubuntu version
[21:03] <Benfclark> 10.something, I think
[21:03] <nit-wit> traskers, is this a Natty install that you added the Lubuntu to or a Lubuntu Natty specifically?
[21:03] <Benfclark> The system itself is fine, it's run Windows smoothly, and as mentioned it ran an earlier Ubuntu fine
[21:03] <eoss> raido: use this as a house for cisco IOS images so i can upgrade the IOS
[21:03] <eoss> mattbd: no i cannot.. from either..
[21:03] <raido> eoss: ok
[21:04] <traskers> nit-wit, I ran a customization script to transform it into elementary's Luna build.
[21:04] <raido> eoss: you are running thin is daemon mode yes? i.e. you have a startup script in /etc/init.d
[21:05] <mrdeb> will there be a way to intsal gnome 2 on ubuntu 11.10
[21:05] <traskers> traskers, but it was a fresh Natty install, and more or less still is, just with some packages removed and new ones added.
[21:05] <asadasd> yes
[21:05] <eoss> raido: I did sudo service xinetd start
[21:05] <dlyneswork> Is there a way to disable apparmor from grub?
[21:05] <Benfclark> So these crashes are a known issue with 11.04 then?
[21:06] <mrdeb> Benfclark: there are issues with it yes
[21:06] <traskers> nit-wit, but it was a fresh Natty install, and more or less still is, just with some packages removed and new ones added.
[21:06] <mrdeb> unity is new so you have to givve it a few years
[21:06] <Benfclark> Right
[21:06] <tommy_gunz> any channel recomendations for newbies here???
[21:06] <nit-wit> traskers, are you back in, I wonder if you need the os-prober installed.
[21:07] <traskers> nit-wit, I'm in my installed OS, yes. I can load it up manually just fine every time.
[21:07] <raido> eoss: see this: http://www.davidsudjiman.info/2006/03/27/installing-and-setting-tftpd-in-ubuntu/
[21:07] <Benfclark> Well if I am to take what you say literally, I don't particularly want to wait a few years :p
[21:07] <Benfclark> Is there a known fix?
[21:07] <RudyValencia> My server/router can't keep a PPPoE connection up, why?
[21:07] <Benfclark> Or will it be addressed in an update?
[21:07] <ZykoticK9_> tommy_gunz, there is a #ubuntu-beginners that you might be interested in?
[21:07] <traskers> nit-wit, os-prober is already installed
[21:07] <eoss> raido: that's what I used. It worked from the same host the server is on just not from another node =[
[21:08] <tommy_gunz> ZykoticK9_,Thank you
[21:08] <mattbd> eoss: Found a link that may help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html
[21:09] <mattbd> eoss: Applies to atftpd, not tftpd, but is still a tftpd server
[21:09] <eoss> ok thx
[21:09] <mattbd> eoss: Seems to suggest the problem could be in /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny
[21:10] <osse> Does anyone know how ssh-agent is started on a modern, default Ubuntu, and how a user's keys are added to it?
[21:10] <osse> jepp
[21:10] <mrdeb> can you isntall gnome 2 on future ubuntus
[21:10] <ZykoticK9_> eoss, when i needed a tftp server (also for Cisco) i found tftpd-hpa to be the easiest to install and get working.  Best of luck.
[21:10] <dlyneswork> tommy_gunz, ##linux, and this channel
[21:11] <eoss> ZykoticK9_: thanks Ill check it out
[21:11] <theadmin> mrdeb: Likely not, however see #ubuntu+1  for more discussions on future releases
[21:11] <eoss> thanks for help all im taking break >.<
[21:11] <rats_> WOW 1583 normal
[21:12] <dlyneswork> ZykoticK9_, It's also the one that's the most compatible with a lot of hardware that have questionable tftp clients, too
[21:12] <raido> eoss: ssh-agent will source ~/.ssh
[21:12] <theadmin> rats_: To run WOW as well as under Windows apps on Linux, you may want to use Wine. See #winehq and http://winehq.org for details
[21:12] <theadmin> rats_: I didn't understand the other parts xD
[21:12] <tommy_gunz> dlyneswork,Thank you
[21:13] <mattbd> mrdeb: I wouldn't be surprised if someone were to create an unofficial respin of Ubuntu with Gnome 2 in future - they did that with KDE3.5
[21:13] <theadmin> mrdeb: We have XFCE
[21:13] <theadmin> mrdeb: Which is basically Gnome2 but a little better :D
[21:13] <dlyneswork> tommy_gunz, ZykoticK9_'s suggestion was better, but ##linux will help you out with some of the more generic questions you might have, too
[21:13]  * rypervenche uses Xfce.
[21:13] <RA_drc> traskers: thank you
[21:14] <mattbd> mrdeb: I agree with theadmin - Xfce is a pretty good substitute for Gnome 2 and feels quite similar
[21:14] <dlyneswork> Is there a better channel to ask apparmor questions?
[21:14] <RA_drc> how do i know if my usb drive is disk2s1 or disk0s3?
[21:14] <dlyneswork> RA_drc, check your log in dmesg
[21:14] <rats_> theadmin: I was just commenting on the number of #ubuntu listeners at the moment
[21:14] <theadmin> rats_: Ahh
[21:14] <dlyneswork> RA_drc, it'll tell you what it got discovered as
[21:15] <raido> eoss: see http://pastebin.com/AKH0jLms
[21:16] <needlez> hey is there a linux program to convert a .ppt/ .odp file to an .avi/.mp4??
[21:16] <Stevethepirate> needlez: I'd guess not.
[21:17] <theadmin> needlez: You can just use recordmydesktop and record yourself running the presentation
[21:17] <Stevethepirate> What you can do is use a screen capturing program to record a presentation of your ppt/odp.
[21:17] <needlez> kk ill do that
[21:17] <raido> eoss: Allow new files to be created. By default, tftpd will only allow upload of files that already exist. Files are created with default permissions allowing anyone to read or write them, unless the -p or -U options are specified.
[21:17] <nit-wit> traskers, If it was me I would purge the grub-pc and grub-common  then reinstall them, all in the install desktop setup, and when asked during the install where to put grub it goes rto sda use the space bar to set the (*) in the box.  Other then that i don't know what is going on since you have a script and a Frankenstein set up so to speak.  Otherwise Download the Lubuntu ISO and install it.
[21:18] <mrdeb> huh
[21:18] <raido> eoss: you neet the "-c" option in the xinetd config
[21:19] <RA_drc> dlyneswork: got it, thanks
[21:19] <nit-wit> traskers, I have to go for a lunch meeting, good luck others will help j=hold onto that bootscript paste.
[21:19] <traskers> nit-wit, thanks, I'll give that a shot.
[21:19] <chrisf> hi, anyone familiar with the overlay-scrollbar package here?
[21:19] <traskers> chrisf, what about it?
[21:20] <devilchaos> hi folks have a small prob with trying to burn an image to disk and havent had this before for a dvd +r dual layer k3b and brasero dont recognise it and have burned one of these before any suggestions would be nice?
[21:20] <nit-wit> traskers, here is one last link you may already have it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099
[21:21] <devilchaos> am i missing a package thats needed to read this type of disc as i thought all packages i needed were installed because ive done it before
[21:21] <chrisf> been having a lot of instability since moving to 11.04 -- X errors that dont make any sense in otherwise-stable gtk apps -- when interacting with the scrollbars. removing the package and using standard scrollbars seems to fix the problem.
[21:23] <devilchaos> defective disc never mind
[21:23] <devilchaos> thanks anyway
[21:24] <dlyneswork> chrisf, as someone's mentioned earlier, 11.04 has a lot of problems for some people
[21:24] <chrisf> traskers: unfortunately it's very hard to go digging for *real* crashes, since putting the mouse over the overlay-scrollbar widget tends to hit gdk_x_error spuriously.
[21:24] <TrentonDAdams> How do I make ubuntu quit adding ssh keys to ssh-agent automatically?
[21:25] <icewaterman> anyone familiar with gnome?
[21:25] <theadmin> icewaterman: Everyone, heh
[21:25] <theadmin> icewaterman: Most people here use it
[21:25] <icewaterman> i have two monitors and want to move the upper menu from the first to the second one
[21:25] <icewaterman> any idea how i can do that?
[21:25] <dlyneswork> icewaterman, considering this is the gnome based ubuntu channel, I would say most people here
[21:25] <TrentonDAdams> icewaterman: Pick the one up, and put it on top of the other.
[21:25] <TrentonDAdams> :P
[21:25] <ZykoticK9_> icewaterman, drag it
[21:25] <theadmin> Anyway, guys and girls and extraterrestials and whatnot, I'm off for today
[21:25] <Stevethepirate> TrentonDAdams: A possible (although probably not recommended) solution is just to remove write access to your .ssh_keys file.
[21:25] <dlyneswork> icewaterman, you need a video driver that supports dual monitors
[21:25] <icewaterman> ZykoticK9_: i cannot drag it
[21:26] <RudyValencia> My router PC can't keep a PPPoE connection up, when it goes down I get a dmesg that says Jun 16 13:59:07 gxysrv01 kernel: [218309.773881] 0000:04:01.0: tulip_stop_rxtx() failed (CSR5 0xfc664010 CSR6 0xff972117) . Does this mean I need to get a different Ethernet card for whichever line is failing?
[21:26] <dlyneswork> icewaterman, and you need to set it into twin view mode
[21:26] <TrentonDAdams> icewaterman: I was making a joke, as in do it physically. hehe
[21:26] <icewaterman> dlyneswork: all there, works fine.but i switched the graphics-card (radeon to another radeon)
[21:26] <ZykoticK9_> icewaterman, try hold down the ALT key, then try dragging it.
[21:26] <icewaterman> ZykoticK9_: hey, that helped, thx
[21:27] <icewaterman> ZykoticK9_: thx
[21:27] <icewaterman> i wonder why this happened though
[21:27] <ZykoticK9_> icewaterman, glad to help
[21:27] <icewaterman> all i did was switch the graphics card
[21:27] <icewaterman> from a radeon hd 2400 to a radeon X1950
[21:28] <lol123> hello
[21:28] <icewaterman> both work fine in dual monitor mode, just the menu stuff was at the wrong place
[21:28] <lol123> pls, how can i start my installed vmware on the latest ubuntu?
[21:28] <gibran> hi there, need some advise on installing 11.04 it reads error could not calculate upgrade package
[21:28] <icewaterman> anyway, since it now works i have no problem anymore :-)
[21:29] <ZykoticK9_> gibran, did you remove the ubuntu-desktop meta package at some point?  is the actual error more specific?
[21:29] <mattbd> lol123:Does it have to be VMWare, or are you open to using other virtualisation tools?
[21:29] <RA_drc> hi, i'm trying to boot a PC off of a flash drive with ubuntu that i made using unetbootin.  when the PC boots, all i get is a screen with "j" on it.

[21:30] <magellan> someone suffer in transmission torrent client in which you deselect a file but still torrent client download the files even uncheck it.
[21:32] <magellan> someone suffer in transmission torrent client in which you deselect a file but still torrent client download the files even uncheck it.
[21:33] <Stevethepirate> Yeah. I've had that.
[21:33] <mattbd> lol123: I would follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server if you want to use VMWare Server
[21:33] <magellan> Is it a bug or just me.my transmission client problems
[21:34] <Stevethepirate> Well, I've had the issue, and I haven't fixed it, so one would assume its a bug.
[21:34] <milehigh> I have a machine which I suspend pretty frequently, if I resume it in a short period of time everything works well, if I wait a longer time (seems to be around 2-3 hrs is the cutoff), the system won't resume and does a cold boot instead, any idea what might be happening?
[21:34] <Jon--> Recently distribution upgraded to 10.10. Using fglrx. Have occasional issue where a portion of the screen (usually gnome-panel but gnome-terminal has also done it) "burns" onto the screen until I kill the parent process. Ideas?

[21:35] <yokahu> please help  how can get driver for olympus Stylus 1050 SW camera
[21:35] <mattbd> lol123: Ah, OK. I was going to suggest Virtualbox if this was your first outing with virtualisation, as that's generally an easier introduction to virtualisation
[21:36] <edbian> lol123: I agree.  virtualbox is very easy to use
[21:36] <yokahu> please help  how can get driver for olympus Stylus 1050 SW camera anyone please?
[21:36] <magellan> Stevethepirate, So i guess is not just me..and therefore wait for the maker fixed it.thanks for the reply
[21:36] <Benfclark> Hey again
[21:36] <edbian> yokahu: If you ask too often you will annoy people.
[21:36] <yokahu> Sorry
[21:36] <edbian> yokahu: No worries.
[21:37] <yokahu> it is that it is such a rapid  channel, my   apologys please
[21:37] <mastrajanis> pls help, how i can mount my nokia C7 on ubuntu? 11.04 the i connecting to usb nothing happens... i can see my phone then i am do LSUSB command?? any help?
[21:37] <chrisf> dlyneswork: i'd like to help *fix* that overlay-scrollbar breakage -- can you point me at the right people, or do i just need to trawl launchpad?
[21:37] <Benfclark> I had to leave before I could get an answer to my query about crashes in 11.04
[21:37] <edbian> mastrajanis: Does it show up in sudo fdisk -l  ?
[21:37] <mastrajanis> no is not showing
[21:37] <mastrajanis> in fdisk -l
[21:38] <edbian> yokahu: What's the name of this thing?  Olympus what?
[21:38] <lol123> thanks bros
[21:38] <dlyneswork> chrisf, Hmmm??  I have no idea what you're talking about
[21:38] <Lasers_> edbian: He said Olympus Stylus 1050 SW

[21:38] <lol123> i'm used to vmware on windows
[21:39] <dlyneswork> Jon--, I had that happen today, myself, with a youtube video that got burned into any new window I opened in firefox or thunderbird
[21:39] <c0deine> anyone had any luck with latest Xen and 11.4 yet?
[21:39] <dlyneswork> Jon--, even shutting down firefox didn't fix it...had to reboot....but that was with 10.04
[21:40] <edbian> mastrajanis: You need to mess with settings on the phone.  There are two ways it can act, msc (mass storage) or mtp (special software needed).  Try to find that settings and switch it.  Typically msc devices show up just like a jump drive you and you drag / drop files onto them.
[21:40] <edbian> yokahu: It's a web cam?
[21:40] <Jon--> dlyneswork, Killing process works for me. It's just really annoying to kill gnome-panel half the time I use it.
[21:41] <mrdeb> which ubuntu is everyone using
[21:41] <yokahu> edbian this is a digital camera waterproof
[21:41] <edbian> mrdeb: 11.04 is current.
[21:41] <edbian> yokahu: Does it have an SD card in it?
[21:41] <mattbd> mrdeb: 11.04 on my desktop and big laptop, 10.04 on my netbook
[21:41] <Benfclark> mrdeb, using 11.04 at the moment, getting a lot of crashes
[21:41] <mrdeb> oh ok
[21:41] <Jon--> mrdeb, I'm on 10.10
[21:41] <edbian> !poll
[21:41] <mrdeb> Jon--: is 10.10 the best one you think
[21:42] <mattbd> mrdeb: 11.04 hasn't been terribly reliable for me either so far
[21:42] <yokahu> yes it has olympus xd picture card M+ 1GB
[21:42] <Jon--> mrdeb, I can't comment as I have not used 11.04. I dislike Unity which is making me delay the switch. I'd give 11.04 a bit more time to become more stable, or wait for 11.10.
[21:43] <Jon--> There's nothing wrong with 10.10 if you want to be safe.
[21:43] <Jon--> Recently distribution upgraded to 10.10. Using fglrx. Have occasional issue where a portion of the screen (usually gnome-panel but gnome-terminal has also done it) "burns" onto the screen until I kill the parent process. Ideas?
[21:43] <jimp> Hey guys, used to use webilder to change desktop wallpapers, what do you guys do for that in the new version?
[21:44] <edbian> yokahu: does the device show up if you run sudo fdisk -l  (while it's plugged in) ?
[21:44] <gibran> Could not calculate the upgrade
[21:44] <gibran> An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
[21:44] <gibran> E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[21:44] <xskydevilx> I'm having some flash issues with Chromium and Ubuntu. It's asking me to update to the latest flash player, however the output of the terminal while installing is "download failed.The Flash plugin is NOT installed." I'm using a derivative of Ubuntu 10.04.
[21:44] <Osmodivs> I messed up my creen resolution in Half-Life2 and now I can't change it back to default, I have uninstalled HL" and deleted the rest of the folders and then re installed, and as soon as I start the game, my monitor goes blank with a "INPUT NOT SUPORTED" message, is there a way to fix this?
[21:44] <Osmodivs> There are some instructions on the web, but most of them are for Windows users
[21:45] <dlyneswork> xskydevilx, the latest version of the flash player was taken off of Adobe's website, except for their new beta version for 64-bit
[21:45] <mattbd> xskydevilx: How are you installing Flash? Are you installing flashplugin-nonfree?
[21:45] <dlyneswork> xskydevilx, don't know if they've fixed their website to have a 32-bit version yet, or not
[21:45] <pythonirc101> what is the correct way to install linux kernel headers on ubuntu?
[21:45] <pythonirc101> I am giving choices to select from -- what are the differences?
[21:45] <yokahu> excuse  me but i a  Ubuntu greenhorn . how do i  run this?
[21:45] <xskydevilx> mattbd: yes
[21:46] <xskydevilx> dlyneswork, Any idea why, and when will it be back up?
[21:46] <dlyneswork> xskydevilx, no idea...I don't work for Adobe...just checked their website, and it's still only the 64-bit pre-release available
[21:46] <mattbd> xskydevilx: OK, one way round it might be to install Chrome instead of Chromium as that ships with Flash built in
[21:46] <pythonirc101> whats the difference between generic vs server headers?
[21:47] <edbian> yokahu: When you are talking to me say my name like I'm doing for you or I'll miss it.
[21:47] <yokahu> edbian thanks for your kind help
[21:47] <dlyneswork> xskydevilx, www.adobe.com->Downloads->Get Adobe Flash Player
[21:47] <jimp> Anyone, anything webilder like for ubuntu 11 - or to automally download and change wallpapers?
[21:47] <edbian> yokahu: sure.  sudo fdisk -l   in a terminal :)
[21:47] <yokahu> may you please explain how do i run  sudo f disk -l ?
[21:48] <edbian> yokahu: Open a terminal.  type sudo fdisk -l    press enter
[21:48] <dlyneswork> yokahu, do you know how to open a terminal?
[21:48] <mattbd> jimp: Try running apt-cache search wallpapers and it shows a few tools that will do that - nitrogen was one I saw
[21:49] <yokahu> dlyneswork  no i am a gren horn
[21:49] <xskydevilx> mattbd: Tried it already. A funny thing happens, Chromium opens instead of google-chrome-stable.
[21:49] <xskydevilx> mattbd: I might as well wait for Adobe to publish the 32-bit version back.
[21:49] <edbian> yokahu: alt+f2   gnome-terminal
[21:49] <yokahu> edbian how do i open  a terminal?
[21:50] <dlyneswork> yokahu, click on 'Applications', beside the Ubuntu icon at the top left corner of your screen, then click 'Accessories', and then click 'Terminal'
[21:50] <mattbd> xskydevilx: What you'd have to do is download Chrome from Google's website, remove chromium with sudo apt-get purge chromium, then install chrome with sudo dpkg -i packagename.
[21:50] <edbian> yokahu: alt + F2   and type gnome-terminal in the box
[21:50] <xskydevilx> mattbd, OK, I'll try.
[21:50] <mattbd> xskydevilx: You might also need to resolve the dependencies with sudo apt-get -f install
[21:50] <jimp> mattbd, cheers m8 simple enough, will try wally. See if it's webilder equiv :)
[21:51] <xskydevilx> dlyneswork, Any idea if older versions are still available?
[21:51] <yokahu> ok i have the run terminal box
[21:51] <edbian> yokahu: sudo fdisk -l
[21:52] <pythonirc101> I did : sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` -- but vbox still complains, The headers for the current running kernel were not found --?
[21:52] <yokahu> edbian do i check the run terminal box?  run with file?
[21:52] <dlyneswork> xskydevilx, there's open source plugins that will run flash, but they're compatible with older versions of flash
[21:52] <dlyneswork> pythonirc101, you need the ones for virtualbox
[21:52] <Osmodivs> I messed up my creen resolution in Half-Life2 and now I can't change it back to default, I have uninstalled HL" and deleted the rest of the folders and then re installed, and as soon as I start the game, my monitor goes blank with a "INPUT NOT SUPORTED" message, is there a way to fix this?
[21:52] <Osmodivs> There are some instructions on the web, but most of them are for Windows users
[21:52] <mattbd> xskydevilx: If all else fails, why not try Gnash? It's a free software implementation of Flash. It's not perfect, but might be worth a try if all else fails
[21:52] <edbian> yokahu: Oh sorry.  In the alt + F2 box just type gnome-terminal and press enter
[21:52] <pythonirc101> dlyneswork: headers for vbox?
[21:52] <mman> dlyneswork, just checked lxcenter! guess its the best free solution. but do u know any similiar program for ubuntu?
[21:52] <dlyneswork> pythonirc101, apt-cache search virtualbox
[21:53] <mrdeb> wow
[21:53] <dlyneswork> mman, not offhand, no....most hosting companies seem to use Centos, for whatever reason
[21:53] <Jonta_> Q: http://pastebin.com/PHGSbuYX
[21:53] <mman> dlyneswork, is it "more stable" or something like that?
[21:53] <pythonirc101> dlyneswork: seems like those packages are for running vbox inside ubuntu. I'm running ubuntu inside windows as a guest
[21:54] <dlyneswork> pythonirc101, ah...ok...didn't know that
[21:54] <pythonirc101> the problem is that the vbox- guest additions complains -- headers are not correct
[21:54] <dlyneswork> pythonirc101, thought you were running virtual box on linux, not linux inside of virtual box
[21:54] <lsolesen> http://drupal.org/node/1190882
[21:54] <mattbd> mman: CentOS is basically a free version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and that's popular in business circles so CentOS is familiar to those people
[21:54] <lsolesen> Sorry about that.
[21:55] <yokahu> ok than you now i have two windows   opened  using differnt aproches
[21:55] <mman> mattbd, thats what I read somewhere.. :S
[21:55] <stowoda> hi there
[21:55] <dlyneswork> mman, No...I think it's more than Redhat's been around a long time (almost as long as Slackware), a lot of sysadmins have been certified on Redhat (Ubuntu's fairly new to the game), and so that's why Redhat/Centos are targetted
[21:55] <edbian> yokahu: http://russelldavis.org/2010/11/03/mounting-a-raw-disk-image/
[21:56] <edbian> dlyneswork: Debian is older so what does that say?
[21:56] <stowoda> when typing ls into bash I get different colors for files and directories, but the output from ls -lh is black and white
[21:56] <Jon--> Recently distribution upgraded to 10.10. Using fglrx. Have occasional issue where a portion of the screen (usually gnome-panel but gnome-terminal has also done it) "burns" onto the screen until I kill the parent process. Ideas?
[21:56] <stowoda> how to get the same colored output ?
[21:57] <dlyneswork> edbian, Debian is older than Redhat?  I'm not so sure about that...does Debian offer certification programs, though?
[21:57] <edbian> dlyneswork: Debian started in 1993, Redhat started in 1995.  I don't think there is such a thing as Debian certifications.  There is not corporation behind it though.
[21:57] <oCean> edbian: dlyneswork please keep it to support here, you're very welcome to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:58] <yokahu> edbian  ok i opened terminal and sudo fdisk -l . How do i identify the camera  disk
[21:59] <stowoda> or is that too compicated ^ ?
[21:59] <ZykoticK9_> dlyneswork, looks like RH first released in 1994, i believe Debian was first released in 1993
[21:59] <dlyneswork> ZykoticK9_, yeah...but like oCean mentioned...off topic...personally, I don't remember either one of them coming out until 95
[22:00] <dlyneswork> that being said...on topic...does Ubuntu have a certification program?
[22:01] <mattbd> mman: Debian is primarily a community distro and always has been, so it's paid less attention to certifications and the whole business side of it. By contrast, Red Hat has always been a commercial concern
[22:01] <jpds> dlyneswork: Yes.
[22:01] <mattbd> dlyneswork: I believe so
[22:02] <mman> mattbd, :S well one day things will change ;)
[22:02] <yokahu> edbian thanks  , so this link explains how to get the camera driver up and runing?
[22:02] <dlyneswork> So there you go...if it becomes more widespread knowledge that Ubuntu has certifications (and they gain value/traction in the marketplace), a lot more software vendors will probably start supporting Ubuntu as well
[22:02] <dlyneswork> Not to mention hosting companies
[22:03] <xskydevilx> dlyneswork, I just found install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz on the Adobe's website, extracted and copied "libflashplayer.so" to "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins". Then, ran with "-enable-plugins", and it works ;)
[22:03] <dlyneswork> xskydevilx, cool...was that the 64-bit version?
[22:03] <xskydevilx> dlyneswork, 32-bit
[22:03] <dlyneswork> xskydevilx, ah...curious that they have it, but don't seem to publish it on their page, currently
[22:04] <DEM2> hi there
[22:04] <xskydevilx> dlyneswork, interesting...
[22:05] <DEM2> i've played a bit with ccsm.now the unity desktop wont run anymore. i can see only the desktop. ofc i resetted the configs, but nthing happens. how can i restart ccsm to try it again?
[22:05] <yokahu> dlyneswork  so  how can i get my camera runing ?
[22:05] <stowoda> is there a config file for the terminal in ubuntu?
[22:05] <Jon--> Recently distribution upgraded to 10.10. Using fglrx. Have occasional issue where a portion of the screen (usually gnome-panel but gnome-terminal has also done it) "burns" onto the screen until I kill the parent process. Ideas?
[22:05] <mattbd> stowoda: Several. Do you mean the terminal emulator or the shell itself?
[22:05] <fisherman> is there a terminal command to re-install the natty defaut desktop settings?
[22:05] <yokahu> edbian  so i need to study and do some learning in order to get camera up an runing?
[22:06] <jimp> Wally supposedly sits in the system tray, where is the system tray in 11??
[22:06] <stowoda> mattbd, I mean the terminal emulator
[22:06] <DEM2> is there a shortcut to start the terminal in 11.04?
[22:07] <mattbd> fisherman: THere's an example set of configuration files in /etc/skel. You could delete the existing ones and replace them with the contents of that - I think that should work
[22:07] <dlyneswork> yokahu, no idea...I was just telling you how to get your command line up and running (terminal)
[22:07] <ZykoticK9_> fisherman, did you uninstall packages?  or are you just interested in the settings?  easiest thing to do might be to just create a new user - would set most things back to default.
[22:08] <fisherman> i installed xfce
[22:09] <yokahu> edbian  please kindly tell me what info that link  provides in order to get  camera up and runing?
[22:09] <mattbd> stowoda: OK, it appears to be in /.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal
[22:10] <stowoda> thank You
[22:10] <jibadeeha> does ios4 work well with ubuntu in terms of music syncing etc
[22:11] <martian> Is there a remote desktop solution that allows for drag and drop transfering of files?
[22:12] <kiichiro> on xubuntu how do I resize my partition
[22:13] <astrostl> added oneiric repos.  can apt-get update.  when i run apt-file update, i get this: curl: (7) couldn't connect to host Download of http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/Contents-amd64.gz failed Command exited with code 7
[22:13] <astrostl> i can actually reach that file via curl, from that host.  any ideas?
[22:13] <astrostl> (this happens for everything from natty or oneiric)
[22:14] <DEM2> How can i start the terminal with a hotkey? Unity wont run anymore. dunno what happend. wanna try to fix it with ccsm. but no chance to start ccsm
[22:15] <yokahu> so it is not easy task to  get my olympus stylus 1050 up and runing in ubuntu?
[22:16] <strata_> i am running maverick and i need a program that only uses ALSA to integrate with pulseaudio so i can control its volume in the gnome audio properties app. how can i do this?
[22:17] <lahwran> ssh won't let me log into my friend's vps via public key. password auth works, but public key does not. I think it's a permission issue, as that is all that has changed since yesterday when it worked. anyone know what the proper permissions are for public-key login?
[22:17] <alien260> Hi, does anyone know how I can change the default position of libnotify msg to display at the bottom right instead of top right?
[22:17] <oCean> lahwran: 700 on ~/.ssh and 600 on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[22:18] <lahwran> and it doesn't care about any other permissions, such as homedir?
[22:18] <lahwran> because I already set those permissions :s
[22:19] <oCean> lahwran: you sure you copied the id correctly?
[22:19] <lahwran> quite sure, it's been working for weeks
[22:19] <oCean> lahwran: ah, ok
[22:19] <Vilemaxim> Anyone have any experience migrating win2k3 AD to samba/ldap? I just want the machines to recognize the new samba server as the domain controller and authenticate users. Don't really care about the group policy
[22:19] <inashdeen> hi, anyone know how to delete files with the same particular format in a directory using terminal?? a lil help please
[22:20] <Somelauw> I can't see my battery status
[22:20] <oCean> lahwran: is /var/log/auth.log showing anything useful?
[22:20] <qin> inashdeen: rm -r *.txt
[22:21] <inashdeen> qin : the prob is, the file is not a txt
[22:21] <inashdeen> qin : it is a file of no name, written in gedit
[22:21] <jon8> is there an easy way to tell which process is using which specific core on my cpu?
[22:22] <qin> inashdeen: ls -al , gedit save temps in pwd with ~
[22:22] <oCean> inashdeen: it actually has no name?
[22:22] <lahwran> oCean: lemme check
[22:23] <inashdeen> qin: dont understand a bit
[22:23] <inashdeen> oCean : sorry have name but no format
[22:23] <oCean> inashdeen: what is the name? You remove files by name..
[22:23] <qin> inashdeen: Put output of ls -la in paste.ubuntu.com
[22:25] <pythonirc101> what is the correct way of installing ubuntu kernel headers?
[22:25] <qin> inashdeen: Are names similar?
[22:25] <fisherman> i just ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop an seems to have fixed th eprob
[22:26] <oCean> fisherman: good to hear!
[22:26] <adrian15> pythonirc101: It might be: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[22:26] <fisherman> ty oCean
[22:27] <oCean> pythonirc101: adrian15's suggestion is correct
[22:27] <Core_UK> I am trying to run a script that requires expect however it says I do not have it (although I do and can run it from the command line)
[22:27] <inashdeen> qin: it s like this, i am trying to write a program on buc, and want to make an close button using bash, now, the bash code was taken from somewhere, i dont really know how to write it by the way, when i use the bash, it start printing pid : 3690, 3509, bla3
[22:28] <Somelauw> pythonirc101: aptitude or synaptic.
[22:28] <inashdeen> qin : i just wanna find a solution to create another button on my buc to delete them, or not having them at all if possible
[22:28] <tuna-fish> How can I change locales from the command line?
[22:28] <pythonirc101> adrian15: I think i've another problem...when i do apt-get purge linux-headers* -- it tells me that it will delete 5 packages
[22:29] <pythonirc101> should i go ahead and do that?
[22:29] <pythonirc101> before i install the correct one?
[22:29] <adrian15> Core_UK: You might need to simlink from the expected expect filename to the actual filename. The output does not say anything about what command it cannot find ?
[22:29] <adrian15> pythonirc101: What are you trying to achieve?
[22:30] <oCean> pythonirc101: it is not necessary to remove the older ones. By default the headers of the currently used kernel are going to be used when buidling/compiling
[22:30] <pythonirc101> virtualbox guest additions compilation is complaining that correct headers are not installed
[22:30] <oCean> pythonirc101: guest additions are in the repositories too
[22:30] <inashdeen>  second : i am now writing a buc program to make a gui atop logkeys  "    http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/    ". now, how can i compile all of it, the buc programming language, the new program i created and the logkeys software to make it into one .deb??
[22:30] <inashdeen> qin : any clues for previous q??
[22:30] <pythonirc101> are the guest additions for 4.0.8?
[22:30] <ApeOnThursdays> Hi,  I'm having trouble with getting my microphone working. It's one of those inbuilt ones (FoxLink is the brand but I doubt that matters all that much). It's not appearing in PulseAudio Device Chooser, so I'm guessing its a driver issue. Any idea how I should proceed?
[22:31] <Core_UK> adrian15: it is a tcl script, it fails on line 45 (package require Expect) -> "can't find package Expect"
[22:31] <oCean> pythonirc101: that depends on the ubuntu version you're using (and thus the repositories)
[22:31] <pythonirc101> when i do sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` -- it asks to install two header packages? is that alright?
[22:31] <qin> inashdeen: Still do not see what spoduce file and where.
[22:31] <pythonirc101> uname -a --> Linux desktop 2.6.38-8-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:49:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[22:31] <tsimpson> Core_UK: you probably want expect-tcl8.3
[22:31] <inashdeen> qin : again, i dont get it, i am quite a newbie in programming
[22:32] <adrian15> Core_UK: It might be something related with pkconfig not doing its job ok, probably a bad packaged package but I'm not sure.
[22:32] <inashdeen> qin : might be a better question, how to delete or plain text file in a directory
[22:32] <inashdeen> qin : how to delete *a
[22:32] <adrian15> pythonirc101: Yes, that's right, that are the headers that virtualbox do want.
[22:32] <Core_UK> tsimpson: I dont see that in synaptic
[22:32] <pythonirc101> ok, installing now, then will try to compile vbox guest additions again
[22:33] <mrdeb> wow
[22:33] <adrian15> Core_UK: Can I take a look at the script from a pastebin ?
[22:33] <oCean> pythonirc101: if you are using a virtualbox version from the repositories,then you can use the guest-additions as well from the repositories
[22:33] <Maylow> hi
[22:33] <pythonirc101> oCean: ubuntu is my guest OS, win 7 is the host, I think i need to install the guest additions that came with my vbox setup for windows
[22:34] <Maylow> does anyone know how to make compiz custom command keybindings work on login screen?
[22:34] <oCean> pythonirc101: indeed, so you have installed vbox from the repositories?
[22:34] <erkan^> hello, where can I found --> Minimizing to tray for Xchat by Unity 11.04 ?
[22:34] <qin> inashdeen: Well, you can combine find and rm, find gives more options to select files.
[22:34] <Core_UK> adrian15: http://pastebin.com/j9QQV6vX
[22:35] <tsimpson> Core_UK: seems it's only in lucid and below, you could probably just grab the .deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/expect-tcl8.3 and install it (if you are using the tcl8.3 package)
[22:35] <oCean> pythonirc101: I think you can install the guest additions from the Devices menu (in the running machine)
[22:35] <pythonirc101> thats what i'm doing oCean. Thanks
[22:35] <pythonirc101> still complains
[22:36] <pythonirc101> "The headers for the current running kernel were not found"!???
[22:36] <tsimpson> Core_UK: hmm, script needs 8.4, so I guess you're a little stuck
[22:36] <Maylow> does anyone know how to make compiz custom command keybindings work on login screen?
[22:36] <adrian15> Core_UK: Yes, that's what... I mean... it is not Expect but Expect for tcl what you need.
[22:36] <inashdeen> qin : actually, its more for a gui. like, when i press a button, it will delete all plain text. like rm *.(PLAIN TExT EXTENSION)
[22:37] <Core_UK> adrian15: tsimpson I cannot get except-tcl 8.4 for ubuntu 11.04?
[22:37] <adrian15> pythonirc101: You might need to reboot although I am not quite sure. It might be also a matter of symlinking although I am not very sure.
[22:37] <tsimpson> Core_UK: not that I can see, unless you download and compile yourself
[22:37] <Core_UK> tsimpson: ok
[22:37] <tsimpson> pythonirc101: do you have "linux-headers-$(uname -r)"  installed?
[22:37] <pythonirc101> tsimpson: yes
[22:38] <pythonirc101> and vbox still complains about it
[22:38] <pythonirc101> vbox guest additions : VboxLinuxrun.sh that is
[22:39] <ZykoticK9_> pythonirc101, aren't you using 64bit Ubuntu?  isn't there a vboxlinuxrun that's 64bit, ususally in the same directory?
[22:39] <pythonirc101> indeed there is
[22:39] <pythonirc101> perhaps that was the problem
[22:40] <pythonirc101> lemme try
[22:40] <qin> inashdeen: then you can use loop where you test with command "file" and removing if its return text, or keep log of created files and loop it to rm (safer)
[22:41] <inashdeen> qin : btw, if document is .doc, and spreadsheet is .xls, what is the extension for plain text???
[22:42] <ZykoticK9_> inashdeen, .txt
[22:42] <pythonirc101> ZykoticK9_: nope there is only one linuxadditions?
[22:42] <ZykoticK9_> pythonirc101, ok - there used to be multiple versions, perhaps it's all combined now.  Good luck.
[22:43] <qin> inashdeen: Extentions are a bit misleading way of thinking, propably channel #bash may have nicer solution.
[22:44] <andrewS> what's a good mail app for ubuntu that doesn't eat too much system resources/bandwidth plz?
[22:44] <inashdeen> Zykotick9_ : mate, it doesnt work
[22:44] <Core_UK> tsimpson: do you know where i would get the expect-tcl source? I have tried google
[22:45] <andycc> andrewS: Postler if you want a GUI app, alpine if you want a text-only one.
[22:45] <andrewS> thanks!
[22:45] <tsimpson> Core_UK: http://expect.nist.gov/ as far as I know
[22:45] <xiaoy> i have this list:
[22:45] <xiaoy> element1ùelement2
[22:45] <ZykoticK9_> inashdeen, extensions don't matter in gnu/linux world, but the general extension for text files is .txt
[22:45] <xiaoy> and i ant it to convert in
[22:45] <andycc> andrewS: you won't find Postler in the Software Center though, Google for it.
[22:45] <xiaoy> element1|element2|..
[22:45] <andrewS> kk
[22:46] <xiaoy> how can i do that?
[22:46] <inashdeen> Zykotick9_ : ok, a big prob for me then
[22:46] <inashdeen> hm..
[22:46] <xiaoy> *element1
[22:46] <xiaoy> element2
[22:46] <xiaoy> ...
[22:46] <escott> xiaoy, sed? s/ù/|/
[22:46] <Core_UK> tsimpson: yeah i found that but it seems to be expect which i already have from the repo
[22:47] <inashdeen> Zykotick(_ : ok, how bout if i command to delete all file that has numbers in it nam? will it work???
[22:47] <xiaoy> escott, sorry i wrote wrong...
[22:47] <xiaoy> is:
[22:47] <xiaoy> elemt1 space
[22:47] <xiaoy> elemant2 space
[22:47] <xiaoy> ...
[22:47] <escott> xiaoy, same answer sed -e "s/ /|/" input.txt
[22:47] <xiaoy> escott, doesn't work
[22:47] <ZykoticK9_> inashdeen, #bash might be a better spot for your question(s) - yes it's possible, I wouldn't feel confident enough to give you specifics.  Good luck.
[22:48] <chuckster> is there an unbork command for dpkg?
[22:48] <ZykoticK9_> chuckster, i'd say "sudo apt-get -f install" is the closes auto-unbork ;)
[22:49] <escott> chuckster, i think the better question is where did you find the bork command?
[22:49] <qin> !bork
[22:50] <escott> xiaoy, could you !paste your example input and desired output
[22:51] <tsimpson> Core_UK: I'm not sure then, it looks like it should be a part of the expect package
[22:51] <trakinas> does anyone here use Eclipse PDT? what are "phpcomment" context in the templates context?
[22:52] <beef-supreme> anyone here use mythtv?
[22:52] <xiaoy> escott, http://pastebin.com/VRvEUE8K
[22:52] <hwolf> i am new to ubuntu, when I try to install stuff with apt-get it says "no installation candidate"
[22:52] <hwolf> eg apt-get install curl
[22:53] <hwolf> what is the default settings in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[22:53] <ZykoticK9_> hwolf, try "sudo apt-get update" then try again
[22:54] <hwolf> that worked, thanks
[22:54] <yung_son> i just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my new pc i just built, updated it, and when i restarted it, i log in, and my desktop backround comes up, but nothing else, no panels, no application selector or anything. Just my background picture.
[22:54] <iostream> I'm unable to boot Ubuntu 11.04 on a Samsung NC10 netbook; all I get is a blank screen with a flashing text cursor - how would I debug this?
[22:55] <iostream> also, booting from disk, installation was successful
[22:55] <yung_son> Anyone?
[22:56] <escott> xiaoy, cat input.txt | tr "\n" " " | sed -e "s/ \+/|/"
[22:56] <yung_son> i know someone is there....... just watching me suffer :O
[22:56] <hiroko> yung_son: maybe look for unsupported hardware -> tty1 -> lspci

[23:07] <Kagammor> Any please? How can I replace Evolution with Thunderbird as 'default' Ubuntu e-mail client?
[23:08] <Kagammor> *Anyone
[23:08] <Logan_> !thunderbird | Kagammor
[23:08] <Logan_> well, hmm, that doesn't help
[23:08] <hiroko> yung_son: dont login, press ctrl+alt+f1. if you already logged in, press it yet still
[23:08] <escott> Kagammor, gnome-default-application-properties
[23:08] <Kagammor> Well that was not really what I was looking for, still thanks ubottu
[23:08] <papirius> 2001 It is discovered that US drug agents’ communications have been penetrated. Suspicion falls on two companies, AMDOCS and Comverse Infosys, both owned by Israelis. AMDOCS generates billing data for most US phone companies and is able to provide detailed logs of who is talking to whom. Comverse Infosys builds the tapping equipment used by law enforcement to eavesdrop on all American telephone calls, but suspicion forms that Comverse, whic
[23:09] <yung_son> hiroko, the gui just loaded for some reason, maybe it just needed a few restarts lol. should i still do this?
[23:09] <nikro> Hey guys, what is the alternative for lm-sensors? I refresh it like 5 times / sec and it reads very different temperatures on my GPU (55,66,69) it's impossible for it to very that fast.
[23:09] <Kagammor> Thunderbird is the default application, but the notifier and email settings still link to Evolution, which I have uninstalled
[23:09] <caulkz> !billion
[23:09] <Logan_> !ot | papirius
[23:09] <hiroko> yung_son: open a terminal
[23:09] <yung_son> im in tty1
[23:10] <hiroko> yung_son: login and enter 'lsmod'
[23:10] <pikachu> Someone use unity correctelly with ATI?
[23:10] <yung_son> alrighty
[23:10] <zvacet> pikachu: well I like to believe so
[23:11] <hiroko> yung_son: 'lsmod | grep fglrx'
[23:11] <pikachu> So no?
[23:11] <inasdeen> hi, how can anyone share how to package a software name logkeys.tar.gz, a software name buc.deb and my own software created using the BUC language, into a Deb file. the easiest way please
[23:11] <nikro> alright, How can I read my hardware temperatures?
[23:11] <zvacet> pikachu: yes,I´m
[23:11] <escott> !info sensors | nikro
[23:11] <Logan_> !lm-sensors | nikro
[23:11] <sandyd> inasdeen: you want to put it in a ppa or not
[23:11] <pikachu> My english si bad
[23:12] <inasdeen> maybe not
[23:12] <yung_son> fglrx in red letters
[23:12] <yung_son> witha  few numbers following
[23:12] <sandyd> inasdeen: use checkinstall
[23:12] <inasdeen> sandyd:err,how is that??
[23:12] <zvacet> pikachu: I´m not native speaker too
[23:12] <hiroko> yung_son: then you got the closed source driver and its loaded and in use
[23:12] <inasdeen> sandyd: step by step if u dont mind, im a newbie
[23:12] <nikro> zvacet, escott: ok, now, except lm-sensors because they don't work right, any alternatives to lm-sensors?)
[23:12] <Logan_> !fr | pikachu
[23:12] <yung_son> Do i want the closed source driver?
[23:12] <yung_son> Maybe it wasnt causing the problem
[23:12] <sandyd> inasdeen: install checkinstall using 'sudo apt-get install checkinstall'
[23:13] <escott> nikro, in what way are they not working
[23:13] <yung_son> sorrry i keep forgettin to use hiroko:
[23:13] <hiroko> yung_son: its better for 3d, but an open source driver is always preferable
[23:13] <inasdeen> sandyd:doen and then?
[23:13] <nikro> escott: I refresh sensors reading (ati radeon) and it varies like 15C per second, which isn't quite right
[23:13] <sandyd> inasdeen: then extract the tar.gz, and compile it. After compiling, run "sudo checkinstall"
[23:13] <linus_> No devices show up in the Hardware tab of sound preferences on ubuntu natty, not even the internal card,  sound still seems to work, but no device options. Ive been trying to configure a bluetooth headset and it doesnt show up either
[23:14] <sandyd> inasdeen: the rest should be self explanatory
[23:14] <inasdeen> sandyd: ow do u complie it?
[23:14] <inasdeen> sandyd: i am a real newbie. i write the prgram by BUC not python
[23:14] <sandyd> inasdeen: you said you created the program, so you should be able to compile it.
[23:14] <nikro> escott: CPU readings are fine thou', pretty stable, while GPU jumps up and down 5-10C in a second
[23:14] <daves> have you any idea how to code text messages to morse audio ?? realtime...
[23:15] <inasdeen> sandyd: err,,, BUC is more like a playing with html thing rather than a python style compiling
[23:15] <inasdeen> sandyd: and how bout the BUC???
[23:15] <inasdeen> the original BUC is already in a DEB
[23:15] <yung_son> lol ati has its own settings GUI for linux ^.^
[23:15] <Star_Light> whom is the greek channel for ubuntu???? I just forget it and the output of -> list command on status is too big :/ thanx
[23:16] <hiroko> yung_son: also for nvidia blob, enjoy your new setup
[23:16] <Logan_> !info morse | daves
[23:16] <sandyd> inasdeen: sorry, don't know BUC. I don't read italian.
[23:16] <escott> !gr | Star_Light
[23:16] <inasdeen> sandyd: can tranlate to englishusing google translate, me not italian too :(
[23:17] <Star_Light> hahahahah thank you
[23:17] <inasdeen> sandyd : sorry got to go soon.if u by any chance can get a work around, send me an email at inashdeen@gmail.com. thanks a lot in advance
[23:18] <Reign_> Hi. I need to update the computer BIOS through Ubuntu. Probably hardware issues associated with BIOS. Have downloaded what I believe is accurrate. Need help w/installation.
[23:18] <Star_Light> can i ask again about the sockets ?
[23:18] <linus_> Ive created a fresh install to a flash drive, and my hardware devices show up in sound preferences. but on my original install that I updated nothing shows up in that tab
[23:19] <linus_> @Reign, if you want to change your BIOS setting just press the key that your computer says on boot
[23:19] <Reign_> I need to change my BIOS software
[23:19] <[snake]> is there an easy way to get to your settings with unity? like in classic gnome there is a system tab at the top. They should make a control panel or something.
[23:20] <[snake]> like in xfce
[23:20] <tobych> i have the dreaded "err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed" and need help diagnosing this. i'm totally ignorant about openssl. how can i learn what i need to know?
[23:20] <Logan_> [snake]: click the Ubuntu icon in the top-left; type settings
[23:20] <tobych> oops wrong channel. ignore me.
[23:20] <Logan_> tobych: noted :)
[23:20] <Reign_> I need to install software on Ubuntu related to my BIOS. it is a .bat file. HOW do I do this?
[23:20] <linus_> @Reign, changing you BIOS is not recommended
[23:21] <escott> Reign_, i would flash the bios from freedos
[23:21] <[snake]> Logan_, oh. heyy... Thanks a lot!
[23:21] <linus_> .bat files are like bash scripts for windows computers
[23:21] <sandyd> Reign_: you need to flash from DOS
[23:21] <Logan_> [snake]: no problem :)
[23:21] <Reign_> How than do I fix an error in two machine, both Emachines, that are showing virus-like signs. But one got Ubuntu for an OS and no Microsoft emulator?
[23:21] <Star_Light> linus_ you are right
[23:21] <Reign_> sandyd: ty. I don't know what that means
[23:22] <sandyd> Reign_: create a msdos bootcd.
[23:22] <Star_Light> anyone to know about tcp sockets??? I have programmed on php
[23:22] <sandyd> Reign_: lemme go find it
[23:22] <Star_Light> i cant find some port with my socket server
[23:22] <Guest51934> m
[23:22] <jakemp> any linux devs in here? what do you use to work on a c based project?
[23:22] <th0r> Star_Light: you would have better luck in either #programming or one of the php channels
[23:22] <Reign_> That does not make sense. And my computer is slightly above not running right now. I will back another time.
[23:22] <sandyd> Reign_: http://www.bootdisk.com/ . Download the cd for flashing bios
[23:22] <Star_Light> th0r aha
[23:23] <Star_Light> where ??? in which channel?
[23:23] <Star_Light> th0r ok lol
[23:23] <Star_Light> i have headache :/
[23:23] <Star_Light> and i dont see the room !
[23:24] <th0r> Star_Light: your questions have nothing to do with either linux in general or ubuntu, so I doubt you are going to get an answer here
[23:24] <Star_Light> i mean i didnt*
[23:24] <iceroot> jakemp: ##c, #linux
[23:24] <Star_Light> th0r ok but im ubuntu user
[23:25] <trakinas> Star_Light: but your question involves php and sockets. which is more concerned to the later
[23:25] <Star_Light> ok ok
[23:26] <nikro> erm, can the Xorg / Gallium / Mesa driver cause my ATI GPU to heat up in idle state?
[23:26] <Wally> Star_Light: try /knock #php
[23:26] <Wally> you might get access :)
[23:26] <papirius> you do not understand
[23:26] <papirius> your computer is being hacked by israel
[23:26] <chrisf> nikro: #radeon
[23:26] <Star_Light> papirius :o
[23:26] <nikro> chrisf: thnx
[23:27] <paranoidi> I have rather critical problem, ubuntu server (despite being desktopless) is trying to feed my poor small LCD 1024x768 with latest kernel(s) .. how can I stop that?
[23:27] <Wally> paranoidi: try #server
[23:27] <paranoidi> Wally: thanks for the tip
[23:27] <Wally> I mean thats what we are doing right? sending everyone else to other places?
[23:27] <Wally> paranoidi: ;)
[23:27] <escott> paranoidi, /etc/default/grub and there may be a similar file for plymouth
[23:28] <linus_> @paranoidi, you should be able to set the size of the terminal with boot arguments
[23:28] <paranoidi> escott: it would otherwise, but it's kernel specific thing .. the options in menu.lst were identical
[23:28] <Star_Light> ubelievable... no one in network programming??? awwww im soooo dissapointed!
[23:28] <escott> paranoidi, you could send the kernel a parameter for its framebuffer size
[23:28] <escott> Star_Light, if you are going to keep bringing it up on this channel at least ask the full question
[23:29] <Star_Light> ok
[23:30] <Wally> paranoidi: my apologies to you.
[23:30] <Star_Light> escott in according to you in what langauge is good for network programming? C or PHP??? for sockets ...
[23:31] <paranoidi> Wally: none needed, I got the key term (framebuffer) from here which answered my question, older kernels probably had different default values
[23:31] <qin> Yeah, sure.
[23:31] <Kuwanger> Is there a simple way to view/dump the current state of the video card?  I'm interested because some times when I boot up the graphics are corrupt, and I'm hoping there's something obviously wrong in those boots compared to a normal boot.
[23:31] <escott> Star_Light, im sure they are equally good pick the language you want to work in
[23:31] <webchat`client00> hello, is it legal to sell Ubuntu on a computer DVD store?
[23:32] <kzmrbtx> i have a pc connected to a wireless network (which provides internet) and my local network (which also provides internet, another IP). how do i make the wireless interface the primary interface for internet access?
[23:32] <linus_> @Start_Light I think the question between php and C would depend mostly you final deployment environment
[23:32] <magn3ts> So it's the year 2011 and my music player that ships with my OS can't play m4a. That makes me sad inside.
[23:32] <Star_Light> guys i dont want to work in one language completely
[23:32] <aeon-ltd> kzmrbtx: without disabling LAN?
[23:32] <Star_Light> im already work php and C
[23:33] <Kuwanger> magn3ts: What's m4a?
[23:33] <Star_Light> but know i want to create the sockets
[23:33] <aeon-ltd> Kuwanger: itunes aac container
[23:33] <kzmrbtx> aeon-ltd, yes, without disabling LAN
[23:33] <magn3ts> Kuwanger, something apple related but it's not DRM protected.
[23:33] <escott> webchat`client00, probably not
[23:33] <aeon-ltd> kzmrbtx: then no idea, sorry. personally i'd create a script that would toggle this
[23:33] <Star_Light> i want to learn much languages
[23:34] <magn3ts> many
[23:34] <Kuwanger> aeon-ltd: Ah.
[23:34] <kzmrbtx> ok
[23:34] <sandyd> magn3ts: m4a works perfectly in vlc, amarok, totem, and rythembox
[23:34] <qin> magn3ts: Lol
[23:34] <Star_Light> or ... to have familiarize with programming languages this isnt better?
[23:34] <webchat`client00> escott: the license on ubuntu website says: "While Ubuntu will not charge licence fees for this distribution, you might want to charge to print Ubuntu CDs, or create your own customised versions of Ubuntu which you sell, and should have the freedom to do so."
[23:34] <magn3ts> sandyd, but not in banshee?
[23:34] <magn3ts> lol
[23:34] <linus_> C is the most popular programing language so it should be easier to find documentatuon
[23:34] <webchat`client00> i don't quite understand that
[23:34] <magn3ts> sandyd, It also works here in vlc, totem, rhythmbox
[23:34] <Star_Light> linus_ yes it is but is diffucult at the same time ;p
[23:35] <sandyd> magn3ts: banshee is mono. might be the reason why
[23:35] <Star_Light> especially in sockets
[23:35] <Star_Light> awwww so difficult you know
[23:35] <aeon-ltd> sandyd: microsoft you've done it again :)
[23:35] <magn3ts> sandyd, nah, it uses gstreamer, and actually rhythmbox is flat out not picking up on a bunch of my artists....
[23:35] <sandyd> magn3ts: i meant banshee runs on mono
[23:35] <magn3ts> mono is hardly microsoft, it's just an impl of a language spec.
[23:36] <Kuwanger> webchat`client00: Sounds like it's okay then.  But, be sure to either include the source code to packages or a written offer to provide source code for a reasonable fee.  This could mean setting up a web server and putting the source code there and providing a link to buyers.
[23:36] <escott> webchat`client00, the gpl guarantees the right to sell the software provided you follow the gpl (there are other licenses that apply in addition to the gpl), so as meet those conditions you are fine under the copyright law. the trademark on "ubuntu" law might be more problematic.
[23:36] <magn3ts> sandyd, I know, that shouldn't affect it's ability to let another library play music. It either excludes m4a files manually, I don't have the right gstreamer plugin installed, or there is a bug somewhere lurking
[23:36] <magn3ts> I just don't know how I'm the first to notice this.
[23:36] <sandyd> magn3ts: and banshee works perfectly with m4a
[23:36] <Kuwanger> webchat`client00: That applies to all GPL2/GPL3/whatever other packages have such a provision in their license.  So, you wouldn't have to include source for everything.
[23:36] <magn3ts> sandyd, oh I forgot!
[23:37] <sandyd> magn3ts: i dragged the anoying friday song in, and it works perfectly
[23:37] <magn3ts> It works with SOME m4a.
[23:37] <linus_> @Star_Light http://cs.baylor.edu/~donahoo/practical/CSockets/PracticalSocketC.pdf
[23:37] <webchat`client00> okay, thanks escott , Kuwanger
[23:37] <escott> webchat`client00, if you make cds and charge a nominal fee for the media and effort, nobody will care. if you modify the basic ubuntu system and keep the ubuntu logo... that could be a problem
[23:37] <magn3ts> My LCD SS is all M4A, but only 3/4 albums appear in Banshee.... NONE appear in Rhythmbox...
[23:37] <magn3ts> sounds more and more buggy to me, I believe rhytmbox also uses gstreamer
[23:38] <sandyd> magn3ts: wait.... I don't use ubuntu, so my memory might be a little weak. however, theirs some gstreamer-bad* plugins
[23:38] <sandyd> did you check them?
[23:38] <webchat`client00> ok, clear now. thanks escott
[23:38] <magn3ts> sandyd, have em all.
[23:38] <linus_> php looks much simpler but you are dealing with a script language that need an interpreter to run.
[23:38] <magn3ts> I'm convinced now it's a Banshee bug. It *is* seeing and playing them, but only some.
[23:38]  * Kuwanger doesn't have m4as. :/
[23:38] <sandyd> magn3ts: the gstreamer-plugins-bad plugins are of lower, buggier quality
[23:39] <sandyd> magn3ts: the gstreamer-plugins-ugly is fine.
[23:39] <magn3ts> yeah but rhythmbox handles it correctly ;)
[23:39] <magn3ts> Kuwanger, I was just going to convert them, but when I did they shrank in size so I paniced and kept the m4a
[23:40] <sandyd> magn3ts: *shrug*. banshee here is being idiotic as well actually. Only one of the itunes albums is not showing. ah well.
[23:40] <s0up> would anybody happen to know how to get rid of the yellow outline that pops up when drawing windows w/ compiz turned off?
[23:40] <sandyd> magn3ts: use ffmpeg with -sameq
[23:40] <s0up> using natty w/ fglrx & metacity
[23:40] <magn3ts> yeah, not really sure why the switch from rhythmbox to banshee.
[23:40] <escott> Star_Light, what is motivating this php or C decision. its an oddly limited set of languages to pick from
[23:41] <sandyd> magn3ts: wait. where are all your m4as from
[23:41] <magn3ts> sandyd, random places?
[23:41] <magn3ts> idk, is there an easy way to chekc?
[23:41] <sandyd> magn3ts: all the ones from itunes works properly, while all my studio recordings don't show up.
[23:42] <sandyd> magn3ts: it might be that banshee doesn't read the tags properly
[23:42] <linus_> I need help with pulseaudio. No devices show up in the Hardware tab of sound preferences. I have created a fresh install to a flash drive and they show, but on my install that I updated to natty nothing shows. I am trying to configure a bluetooth headset and neither that or internal card is displayed.
[23:42] <sandyd> magn3ts: check the tags of your music with easytag
[23:42] <magn3ts> well, com.apple.iTunes is embedded in the m5a
[23:42] <magn3ts> lol
[23:42] <magn3ts> and itunes version info
[23:42] <sandyd> magn3ts: and make sure that nothing is highlighted as red.
[23:43] <magn3ts> meh, these other do too though
[23:43] <magn3ts> I'll check easytag now
[23:43] <sandyd> magn3ts: stuff that is highlighted as red doesn't follow the tag standards. banshee might just be a bit picky with the tags.
[23:44] <magn3ts> mk
[23:46] <magn3ts> lol easytag is struggling with my library.
[23:47] <red__> Hi all
[23:49] <red__> I am trying to set up a file share with samba and i am stuck
[23:49] <linus_> @red stuck where?
[23:49] <red__> I am a newbie and I dont know what to do
[23:50] <quickslvr> \
[23:50] <escott> red__, are you sharing from ubuntu to windows or windows to ubuntu
[23:50] <folivora> red__: There should be nice how to for Samba.
[23:50] <red__> I not sure what to do i have installed the application
[23:50] <[snake]> Can you change any settings for the global bar? I don't like the way my menu options disappear if I'm not hovering over it.
[23:50] <escott> !samba | red__
[23:50] <red__> Ubuntu to mac
[23:50] <folivora> red__: aptitude search samba
[23:50] <folivora> red__: then install that
[23:50] <folivora> and conf ^^
[23:51] <linus_> @red try right click on the folder then sharing options
[23:51] <red__> brb linus
[23:52] <[snake]> I love samba. It solves all you problems(involving network sharing issues between different os's).
[23:54] <qin> red__: Ubuntu to mac? sshfs looks ok.
[23:56] <red__> ok all is visable do i need to do anything to my router?
[23:56] <red__> qin ubuntu to mac
[23:58] <escott> red__, you shouldn't need to
[23:58] <red__> kool
[23:58] <red__> so now how do I find the mac
[23:59] <escott> red__, you don't need to find the mac, you just need to configure the share. you might try swat or directly modify /etc/samba/smb.conf
