jwashany of you have experience with x11rdp?00:00
westzjwash: i've never used remote so i cant really help00:00
jwashhehe, that's all i do00:00
clrhow do I roll back todays updates?00:00
clrthe new intel driver ihas made my system unusable00:01
dovjwash: as a server or a client?00:01
jwashx11rdp as a server00:01
dovjwash: no, sorry.  the only thing i did was x11 over ssh00:02
jwashspecifically i'd like to bind x11vnc to x11rdp rather than xvnc being bound00:02
jwashI'd be in a world of hurt without ssh though00:03
THIS_IS_INSANEso It worked. by default, does ubuntu use a generic graphics driver for nvidia onboard cards?00:03
dovjwash: i think that rdp is implemented as a plugin in vino00:03
jwashvino, never heard of that, i'll have a look now. thanks for the tip00:03

dovjwash: a quick google search found me xrdp.  i have never seen it before, though, so i have no idea if it's any good or even still being actively developed00:06
THIS_IS_INSANEwestz: it worked. does ubuntu use generic graphics by default?00:06
jwashdov: that's what i've been using00:06
jwashbut it uses xvnc rather than x11vnc00:07

THIS_IS_INSANEwestz_: for future reference, when the monitor won't display the grub screen, use startupmanager and go to the advanced tab, and then bootloader menu resolution, and set it to the max screen size of the monitor this will eliminate any "out of range" type errors. also, startupmanager can set the default OS that boots.01:01

ActionParsnipallure: it doesn't have to mount, nor do you want it mounted if you intend to use scalpel or foremost on it01:29

PythonSnakeem: is it normal that I removed partitions, remade them and reinstalled ubuntu and files are still there ?01:30
PythonSnake???01:31
emPythonSnake: It's not impossible that you could reinstall ubuntu and still see old files if the installer did not format some old partitions. In fact many people do that intentionally with a separate home directory.01:31
PythonSnakeHi edbian01:31
PythonSnakeem: Where can be old files so I delete ?01:32
emPythonSnake: that way they can reinstall Ubuntu but their /home is on its own partition and does not get formated so they have a fresh Ubuntu but with their old files intact.01:32
emPythonSnake: That I don't know.01:32
PythonSnakeem: I installed with live01:32
emIf you installed and still see old files it must have not formated some partition. That's all I can tell you.01:33

YankDownUnderPythonSnake, Right, what you need to do is this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg => make sure you choose the proper graphics driver for X, then you should be set mate.01:40
emPythonSnake: Oh well that's a tricky one. Modern Ubuntu does not work with xorg.conf anymore.01:40
PythonSnakeok I reask: Can drivers update break Xorg ?01:40
PythonSnakehuh?01:40
YankDownUnderYes, driver updates can break your Xorg - however, follow the instructions I gave you, reconfigure your Xorg, and you're all set mate.01:40
PythonSnakehow ?01:41
PythonSnakeo.o01:41
emPythonSnake: I am not qualified to answer that question. I would think that drivers could mess up a lot of things. I don't think Modern Ubuntu even uses xorg.conf to deal with your drivers anymore though. It's supposed to just somehow recognize it.01:41
PythonSnakeso I wont need driverS?01:41

BrianCeleryI have no optical drive. I was intending to try and create something I could boot off of in order to repair grub.02:09
BrianCeleryI failed.02:09
ActionParsnipaTypical: does it now work?02:09
aTypicalNope02:09
BrianCeleryIf I could throw in a disc, I'd just run bootrec02:09

ActionParsnipaTypical: try:  sudo modprobe -r ipw2200; sudo modprobe ipw220002:10
BrianCeleryedbian: Negative. Haven't been able to get a booting ubuntu USB working.02:10

aTypicalActionParsnip, still nothing.02:10
ActionParsnipBrianCelery: be sure to MD5 test the ISO you use02:10
edbianBrianCelery: How did you install Ubuntu in the first place?02:11

ActionParsnipaTypical: can you give a pastebin of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; rfkill list02:11
BrianCeleryedbian: There WAS an optical drive. It's getting replaced.02:11
ActionParsnipBrianCelery: anything in what way?02:11
edbianBrianCelery: It's broken now02:11
edbian?02:11
BrianCeleryActionParsnip: A smaller ISO of another distro.02:11
BrianCeleryedbian: correct.02:11
edbianBrianCelery: Did you create a liveUSB and you just can't get it to boot?02:11
ActionParsnipBrianCelery: as long as it can do what you need, sure why not02:12
BrianCeleryedbian: a while ago. That was my first idea for solving the issue.02:12
edbianBrianCelery: Can you boot Ubuntu on the external right now?02:12
BrianCeleryActionParsnip: I might as well get another Ubuntu iso, so that when I come back in here after I reboot with it, the instructions are the same.02:12
ActionParsnipBrianCelery: makes sense02:12
aTypicalActionParsnip, yeah, one second please.  I have to switch over to that workstation02:12
m_fulderhello I want to put a script to be run on bootup but I don't want it to be run as sudo is this possible?...I've tried this method but it starts up my scripts with sudo http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/02:12
BrianCeleryedbian: No.... Maybe... I DID format the windows partition (the NTFS partition I was using for storage) I didn't delete the Linux partitions... So I'm sure I could.02:12
PythonSnakeIs GNOME 3 good02:13
BrianCeleryBut... If I do reboot and it doesn't work, I'm euchred.02:13
edbianBrianCelery: You formatted the window partition?  That means it's erased.  What is the goal here?  Sounds to me like you have Ubuntu and grub installed on the external and windowboot loader but no windows at all installed on the internal02:13
ActionParsnipPythonSnake: good is subjective to opinion. It however is not stable02:14
BrianCeleryedbian: Give me 2-5 minutes. I'm gonna boot up the Macbook Air and get on IRC there.02:14
BrianCeleryedbian: Here is a partition map for you02:14
ActionParsnip!gnome3 | PythonSnake02:14
ubottuPythonSnake: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely.02:14
edbianBrianCelery: ok02:14
ActionParsnipPythonSnake: your choice, I don't recommend it due to your clear newness with the OS02:14

BrianCelerySo I am IN windows now, on the internal drive. but if I reboot the computer without connecting the external, the computer will give me a grub rescue error02:15
edbianBrianCelery: Ahhh, so you can boot windows or linux but you must have the external plugged in.  Is that it?02:15
BrianCeleryYes.02:15
edbianBrianCelery: Which drive is /dev/sda  ?02:16
edbianBrianCelery: is that the internal?  (probably)02:16
BrianCeleryAnd because I formatted that NTFS partition and changed it to FAT, I don't know if I can boot from that hard drive at the moment... And I haven't tried as I didn't want the computer to reboot.02:16
BrianCeleryI don't know off hand, I'm in Windows. Should I log into IRC on the Macbook and then see if it boots?02:16
BrianCeleryBecause if I get into Ubuntu we can fix it from there, can we not?02:16
BrianCelery(Macbook == second computer) so I can stay on IRC while we fix this one02:17
edbianBrianCelery: I'm confused about which machine is which and what the partitions are on the target machine.02:17

CoreyRoasted: Again, it's unsupported here.02:25
RoastedKM0201, it sounds entirely hit/miss, though. You have to wonder if playlists even work, etc.02:25

ChaosSaberAlphaPsi, atleast 2GB02:26
RoastedCorey, I got it. Thanks.02:26
RoastedCorey, that didn't help, but thanks.02:26
RoastedCorey, I was asking for something LIKE an ipod, not an ipod.02:26
KM0201Roasted: the archos devices are popular.. kind of expensive, but they apparently work w/ Linux, and most Ipods work w/ Linux (although the Linux IPOD tools suck)02:26
AlphaPsiWhat do you mean by at least?02:26
CoreyRoasted: You just asked for something ipod like that works.  How is an ipod not useful? :-)02:26
RoastedCorey, it's made by Apple. Self explanatory there.02:26
RoastedCorey, but thanks.02:26
ChaosSaberAlphaPsi, you can make it any size you want but nothing under 2GB02:27

CoreySurely they have an HCL.02:27
RoastedKM0201, I never heard of archos... hmm...02:27
RoastedCorey, I have RockBox on my Sansa. I wasn't too sure how much I liked it.02:27
AlphaPsiChaosSaber: I got that, haha, but how big do people usually do them? 2gb? or more?02:27
RoastedCorey, in fact, once I put RockBox on my Sansa, it screwed up my default user interface that came with it. I actually prefer it to RockBox, and now I'm stuck with it. :(02:27
RoastedCorey, I just want a half decent feature packed device that can sync music without a hassle.02:27
edbianBrianCelery: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=internalMBR bs=512 count=102:27
ChaosSaberAlphaPsi, it really just depends on the person, I have mine at 2.5GB02:28
edbianBrianCelery: Then file internalMBR02:28
CoreyRoasted: You're going to have some kind of hassle no matter what you pick, unfortunately.02:28
edbianBrianCelery: The first command reads the bytes from the MBR, the second translates them to human readable form and prints to the screen02:28
KM0201Roasted: unfortunatley corey is right there02:28
edbianBrianCelery: It will tell you if you have grub installed on that hdd or not02:28
RoastedKM0201, this saddens me :(02:28

hylianchaddy, i want to log into a terminal, not another version of gnome on a hunger strike. but i hate xterm with a passion.02:39
ZykoticK9hylian, FYI openbox is a windows manager.  Why do you want only a terminal?02:39
chaddyhylian: configure openbox to open a terminal02:40
cpgoWhich setting in ccsm was it that allowed you to move a window via keyboard shortcut to fill up half the screen on left/right or top/bottom02:40
chaddygnome-terminal he wants, ZykoticK902:40
hylianZykoticK9, actually the option to boot to xterm already exists. I just find it lacking in easy access to controls. That's why I like gnome-terminal02:40
ZykoticK9hylian, buy WHY do you want only a terminal?02:40
ZykoticK9s/buy/but/02:40
chaddyand an xserver, presumably02:40
hylianchaddy, if that's what i wanted, i would have set up gnome to do so on my own. I don't want (windows manager) then terminal, just want terminal. thanks though02:41

hylianchaddy, no. ctrl-alt f1 through f6 has no x draw capability. thanks for the idea though!02:42
hylianchaddy, exactly. I do want x running.02:42
chaddyhmm, cross purposes02:43
chaddyso you want a bare x session, but instead of xterm, gnome-terminal?02:43
hylianso how do you add an option to log into something like gnome-terminal. in windows, if i wanted to, i could make notepad the kernel, why i would want to i don't know, but i could. should be able to log into gnome-terminal...02:44

hylianchaddy, exactly!02:44
trismhylian: you can't run gnome-terminal without x, you can create a new .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions copying the xterm.desktop and replace the references to xterm with gnome-terminal and log into that02:44
hyliantrism, i want to run x. please read the entire stream, thank you.02:45

hoopyfreudorly?03:51
AlphaPsiWhen I set the windows partition to mount /windows , will it slow it down? Just setting it to mount /windows will allow me to access the file within it correct? Any other things I need to know about doing that?03:51
ZykoticK9hoopyfreud, if it's really Grub you are talking about check /etc/default/grub -- you need to run "sudo update-grub2" if you make any changes03:51
ActionParsniphoopyfreud: has some insight into how colours are set: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-1243.html03:51
morth/dev/loop0 says available 14.4gb and /dev/sda3 (/host) shows 51.7gb03:51
morthhow do i make it so i can use that 51gb?03:51
hoopyfreudin my grub.cfg file, the colors are still black/white, but it appears pink on boot03:52
morthbecause when im trying to install my game it says im running out of space03:52
ActionParsniphoopyfreud: you dont touch grub.cfg03:52
ZykoticK9hoopyfreud, did this start after you install a propritary graphics driver?03:52
ActionParsnipmorth: run:  ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files             and you can save stuff on your NTFS partition03:53
hoopyfreudnope it seems to be the default on 11.0403:53
ActionParsniphoopyfreud: to edit grub you change its files, then run: sudo update-grub    this generates grub.cfg03:53
ZykoticK9hoopyfreud, yet another reason 11.04 has caused Ubuntu to drop from the #1 spot on distrowatch ;)03:54
hoopyfreudyes, I know i have looked at grub.cfg and it says the colors are black and white03:54
josh__is there a specific room for specific apps?03:55

ActionParsnipneedwifi: do you have a switch or shortcut to turn wifi off and on?03:57
ZykoticK9needwifi, does you laptop have a Wireless hot-key combination, perhaps with a FN key?  If so, turn it on.03:57
kevinhey all. so i recently changed my vidcard and but i'm not using the proper opengl libraries anymore (switched from proprietary/binary fglrx driver to opensource ati driver) -- running any opengl apps segfaults (glxgears, glxinfo). i remember there is a command to change which files the opengl symlinks point to, but i cant remember. anyone?03:57

needwifitrevinc: how can i tell?03:59
morthActionparsnip okay so this allows me to put files into that folder using that leftover space i wanted to use?04:00
rhin0needwifi its a switch on your machine -- hardware switch means just that -- either a mechanical switch or a keyboard function key/wireless key04:00
ActionParsnipmorth: it made a link which is like a windows shortcut but a tonne more powerful. It just makes things easier when you want to access your windows data04:00
needwifirhin0, the mechanical switch isn't working04:01
rhin0to manually disable your wireless completely from the machine -- (without ubuntu)04:01
TrevIncneedwifi: I guess hard restart your machine and hold the BIOS setup button and then look through your switches to see if anything mentions wifi04:01
rhin0you broke the switch needwifi?04:01
needwifirhin0, haha it just stays orange04:01
josh__You broke it!?!? Oh godz04:01
morthActionParsnip will it let me use my files? ie- i want to play a game from my windows partiton will Wine let me? - i was going to just copy the folder over to Ubuntu.. :s04:01
needwifitrevinc, i'll try that an i'll be back04:01

dominickbecause this adapter should be way faster, yes?05:10
AlphaPsiHello I installed ubuntu, and I clicked on encrypt the homefolder. What does that mean?*05:10
ActionParsnipdominick: i see, the wired connections should be ok. the wireless hould be faster. Is there no native driver for it?05:11
escottAlphaPsi, without your password your home directory is encrypted (unreadable)05:11
GridCubeNobgul-bnc, really :D thats awesome05:11
PolahAlphaPsi: Your home folder will be encrypted and only accessible to your user account. You should've gotten a generated key to use in the event that you can't access your account.05:11
ActionParsnipAlphaPsi: if you take the drive out and put it in another system it wil be gibberish without your key to decode it05:11
Nobgul-bncGridCube, yea we have another server with 64 gigs but i don't use that one much its not mine I just do upkeep on it. But it seems to run fine05:11
dominickI can download a Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7 driver only ActionParsnip05:11
AlphaPsiI got the key and wwrote it down05:11
ActionParsnipdominick: there are often native drivers for wireless chips05:12

dominickthat would be great - one sec05:12
GridCubeok, thanks, i will buy the ram sticks then :D05:12
escottAlphaPsi, it can be disabled but its probably easier just to create a new user who is not encrypted05:12
PolahAlphaPsi: Being a bad idea would depend on whether or not your want your data in there encrypted and what kind of data you're storing.05:12
klaAlphaPsi, how bad it is only depends on your needs05:12
Nobgul-bncAlphaPsi, not really a bad idea persay. If your doing bad things and want to try and hide it then yes encrypt otherwise meeh05:12

escottAlphaPsi, the easiest thing for you is to create a new user, copy what files you need over and then delete the encrypted user account. alternately you can copy the decrypted contents out to another folder, then logout (so that the ecryptfs fuse mount will be unmounted and copy the files back)05:17

Jordan_U!classic | kf7nnz06:51
ubottukf7nnz: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic".06:51
incidenceActionParsnip: What about route command in particular? Any pointers? But thanks, I'll look into it06:51

bronaugh*shrug* and care, why?07:08
bronaughI don't have anything to lose.07:08
ActionParsnipbronaugh: I suggest you upgrade to Lucid for support. Hardy is ONLY supported on the server07:08
bronaughActionParsnip: I suggest you try running modern Ubuntu and KDE4 on a machine with 256MB RAM07:08
chalcedonyLucid is nice after hardy07:08
morthwhat do you guys use for IRC?07:08
bronaughoh, hey chalcedony - fancy seeing you here.07:09
chalcedonybronaugh, hi *hugs*07:09
ActionParsnipbronaugh: try using NOT Gnome, there are more desktops than just gnome and kde07:09
noisewaterphdmorth: xchat, konversation07:09
chalcedonyindeed07:09
firstIRCtestActionParsnip, I am logged into the 8.04 partition. Yes, it's a desktop. I think I initially installed xubuntu, then added ubuntu-desktop.07:09
ActionParsnipbronaugh: you could run fluxbox on 256Mb and it would run amazingly07:09
bronaughActionParsnip: I'm quite aware of that. having used most of them.07:09
chalcedonymorth #xchat07:09
totembronaugh: join #ubuntu-offtopic07:09
ActionParsnipfirstIRCtest: Hardy desktop is no longer supported07:09
morthxchat seems pretty common hmm07:09
chalcedonythere are reasons for that07:10
soujiActionParsnip: its giving the same error cant mount cdrom07:10
ActionParsnipbronaugh: so you CAN run the latest Ubuntu releases on 256Mb RAM. 256Mb RAM is the minimum requirement07:10
firstIRCtestI know. I put 11.04 on the new partition. I'm going to blow this away when I get sound on the new partition. Hence, the question. I have sound working here.07:10

bronaughmostly there afaik.07:11
noisewaterphdbabu__: empathy sucks07:11
noisewaterphdbabu__: sudo apt-get install xchat07:11
morthyou guys may be asked this alot but, just curious why do YOU use ubuntu?07:11
firstIRCtestActionParsnip I have run sudo alsamixer, and upped volume. No results.07:11
noisewaterphdbabu__: sudo apt-get install pidgin07:11
kroq-gar78@morth:its fast07:11
noisewaterphdbabu__: sudo apt-get remove --purge empathy07:12
ActionParsnipmorth: I chat and web browse, ubuntu does that, why pay for an OS?07:12
bronaughmorth: I run Debian or Ubuntu depending on what I want to do. Ubuntu is a great OS in a can -- you pretty much spray it at computer, and it works.07:12
kroq-gar78morth:a LOT faster...07:12
bronaughmorth: I like Debian more where I want something robust.07:12
chalcedonybabu__, pidgin is the best of them from what i've seen - but for irc xchat07:12
firstIRCtestActionParsnip: Should I boot to the new partition to do some diag there?07:12
bronaughthat'll hold up and I can upgrade for year after year.07:12
bronaughUbuntu... fails, there.07:12
babu__sudo apt-get remove --purge empathy ---> what's that mean?07:12
bronaughhaving to step through each version to upgrade is a joke.07:12
ActionParsnipbronaugh: its not a rolling release distro07:12
kroq-gar78babu__: remove empathy07:12
morthhm makes sense07:12
noisewaterphdmorth: im a developer, everywhere I've ever worked used some flavor of nix07:13
Heinz_L_Maennchemorth, because it is just what i want...and far better than windows07:13
babu__i'm using empathy for chat...07:13
bronaughanyhow, the machine I'm typing on is Ubuntu; so are the two laptops here.07:13
ActionParsnipfirstIRCtest: burn the MD5 tested natty ISO as slowly as possible and you can boot and install from that, you will need to format the current partitions so that you can install Natty to the free space#07:13
bronaughmachines I install for people to use at work are invariably ubuntu.07:13

tanathafter upgrading to 11.04 my wifi no longer works...07:16
morththat'll get me some practice forcing me to learn the commands to just use it.07:16
firstIRCtestActionParsnip: Thanks for the responses...So don't know if I've been clear. I have ubuntu 11.04 alread installed on the other partition, and sound is not working. Are you recommending re-downloading the natty ISO, md5 checking the burned iso, and re-installing?07:16
noisewaterphdyep, but i was singled out07:16
tanathi get 'bad password' even though it hasn't changed. all i've done was upgrade to 11.0407:17
Heinz_L_Maennchemorth, yeah...actually you will prefer the shell over everything else after some time on linux^^07:17
bronaughnoisewaterphd: to me debian's better because of the breadth of packages available in the repositories without frigging around.07:17
Heinz_L_Maenncheand you will start getting aggressive when forced to use windows^^07:17
noisewaterphdtanath: it may have to do with your keys07:17
tanathnoisewaterphd, only thing that changed was distro upgrade07:17

morthnoisewaterphd i agree, i feel win7 is holding me back.07:20
noisewaterphdbabu__: I did help you, I even gave you the exact commands to paste07:20
morthi also believe win7 has way to many things running in the background i find linux problem free so far.07:21

westzalright, so i'm wondering if anyone else can install tor? i try installing vidalia and it cant find the tor executable (it's not in the default /usr/bin i checked)07:31
Jordan_Umorth: It might be possible to make a plymouth theme similar to that but it would likely be a lot of work.07:32
morthnoisewaterphd im looking up Unix Power Tools, and there are 3 editions does it matter which?07:32

noisewaterphdwestz: App directory, not bin, sorry07:35

westzbut i cant find the actual tor executable07:35
westzor is that in the vidalia app directory to? (that'd be retarded)07:36
noisewaterphdwestz: so just download, extract, put it wherever you want it, and launch the vidalia script from the comand line07:36
morthactually thats what i was looking for - but for an IRC07:36
morthany CLi IRCs?07:36
noisewaterphdwestz: the tor executable is in the same directory, so launch from in that dir07:36
AlephHazirssi, morth :)07:36
noisewaterphdwestz, or put that dir on your path07:37
morthAlephHaz ty07:37

Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. Panel windows reserve space along a desktop edge, just like panels and taskbars, preventing maximized windows from overlapping them. The edg08:39

sgo11cowboy_dan, thanks for the suggestion. actually, I just did. the bad thing is to install kate, actually i install kde. it's too much for me just because I want to use a better editor......08:50
AFDknoppies: avg is the reason I can't boot that hdd08:51
knoppiesAFD, what is elementaryOS like? It looked like it had lots of potential.08:51
cowboy_dansomestrangerinan: you'll have better luck with this in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org --> not as noisy08:51
somestrangerinanthanks cowboy_dan08:51

furibondoxhi...08:53
knoppiesAFD, interesting, didnt know it could prevent you from booting. Try move (as in cut) the files from their installed location, and keep them somewhere else. Then see if it will boot. Normally un-installing makes a few changes to the registry, I am not sure if there are any linux registry editors, but you could try search for AVG (and other related keywords) in that registry.08:53
cowboy_dansomestrangerinan: #pimpmymint might be even better08:53

ejvmorth: sudo apt-get install openssl08:59
knoppiesfuribondox, no, but I assume that there might be something in dpkg (you could also try apt-cache). I recommend you man them both and see if there is something that will give you 'more info'09:00

knoppiesstefan_, you mean ubuntu, yes, go for it. Before you do, Is the ISO on your SD card just a .iso file, or has it been unpacked onto the root of the partition?09:01
ejvmorth: if you are compiling and it's complaining about openssl, then it wants developer libraries, $ sudo apt-get install openssl-devel09:01
morthE: Unable to locate package openssl-devel09:02
cowboy_danfagbuntu09:02
knoppiesmorth, ejv has a point. I have recently learnt that you should install the -dev of the package. try openssl-dev (or use apt-cache search openssl)09:03
pksadiq!find openssl-dev09:03

knoppiesjfcaron, you could try purge and then install it again, but tbh, I have no idea.09:04

stefan_knoppies, I made a Startmedium with the Startmediumcreater. That should "transform" the CD Card to a bootable Medium. Well, it should :D09:10

knoppiesjfcaron, glad we could help. I hope we haven't broken anything else on your machine.09:14
jfcaronI think the egg-info file was leftover from an old version (4.6) while the current version is 4.8, so reinstalling did nothing, because it just reinstalled the new version. =p09:14
morthknoppies stupid question but how do i KNOW if i HAVE to compile it or not?09:14
lonixmorth: then you dont09:15
morthwhat do i do then?.. :s09:16
lonixmorth: you need to compile from source if you are useing a non default build, i.e. inserting anything into rtorrent09:16
knoppiesmorth, if you dont know, then you probably dont have to. Reasons for compiling (over just installing a pre-compiled binary) would be things like: newer version, or a plugin, or some functionality that they did not include in the compiled binary. I think you should try apt-get install rtorrent09:16
dr_Williswhy havent you just used the version in the repos.09:16
lonixmorth: sudo apt-get install rtorrent09:16
lonixknoppies: you forgot sudo :P09:16
jfcaronmorth: The only times I've ever had to compile something were when there was no package available in the repositories.09:16
knoppieslonix, thanks.09:16

lonixmoslty the precompiled bin will work just fine...09:17

lonixknoppies: you are trying to mage safn.local refer to self right ?09:50
Starminnmorth: Mozilla gives you all your bookmarks, history, and probably saved passwords (though probably not cookies) from your other account, yeah. From there of course you can export to Chrom/ium or whatever you like09:50
knoppieslonix, I dont know what you mean by mage, I want to be able to type in safn.local on a machine on the LAN and get that machine (I can do it for my two laptops)09:50
lonixknoppies: make*09:51
amithii09:51
amitI accidently deleted my movie files09:51
knoppieslonix, that way I can ssh username@safn.local or type in safn.local into a browser and get the apache web server (at port 80 by default)09:51
amitcan I recover them anyway09:51
amitit happened just now09:51
FloodBot1amit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.09:51
knoppieslonix, yes. let me see what the /etc/hosts file looks like on my laptop, maybe changing 127.0.0.1 to safn might help.09:51
darshanepzil0n, ?09:52
lonixknoppies: no09:52
epzil0ndarshan: software center got a bunch of them, just search dictionary.. donno which one is good tho, i use purple in elementary os ;)09:52
knoppieslonix, my laptop has this at the top of the /etc/hosts file: 192.168.101.111klap# Added by NetworkManager09:52
knoppieslonix, klap being the hostname. It also has these: 127.0.0.1localhost.localdomainlocalhost09:52
epzil0ndarshan: didn't find it software center, purple that is09:53
lonixknoppies: so lets se you have 2 hosts, klap and safn right ? and you want to type safn.local from klap ?09:53
amitcan I recover them anyway09:53
knoppiesepzil0n, you might be looking for libpurple?09:53
knoppieslonix, yes.09:53
knoppieslonix, I can type in klap.local on safn.09:54
lonixknoppies: on safn edit /etc/hosts and add this line09:54
lonixknoppies: ip.of.safn safn.local09:55
epzil0nknoppies: no, purple is a dictionary in elementary os.. but if you check their site it says Lingo09:55
zeroedoutamit depends on your filesystem09:55
OssNassrlonix: are you there?09:55
zeroedoutamit: what filesystem were those movies on? ext4? ntfs? fat32?09:55
lonixknoppies: arrgh to much noise here...09:56

lonixOssNassr: Try useing the recovery feature09:56
knoppieslonix, if the IP is set by DHCP, is there a way to make sure that the IP stays with my DHCP lease?09:56

MagePsychohow to search the .svn files and delete them?09:57
zeroedoutamit: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery I like foremost my self, but photorec is supposed to be good as well09:58

epzil0ndarshan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/install-purple-dictionary-elementary-project-ubuntu-ppa/09:58
zeroedoutamit: foremost is probably your best bet then09:58
knoppiesMagePsycho, I know many people create scripts using find | grep .svn and then have that stored into a variable that they do rm on, Im not so good at bash scripting though.09:59
zeroedoutamit: just don't write anything else to the drive until you have recovered your files09:59
lonixknoppies: and OssNassr i have to go im really sorry, but repost your questions, i promise someone will help you out.09:59
MagePsychohey knoppies can yougive me the exact command for the purpose please09:59
zeroedoutamit: like, stop using the harddrive now and plug into another machine for recovery if possible09:59
amitzeroedout: how can I use foremost? I have it09:59

morthstarminn do i have to go on my windows atall or can i do this all by ubuntu10:00
zeroedoutamit: I don't have time right now to hold your hand through it. you'll have to read the guide and the man pages, they are very detailed and instructive. also check out google for more step by step type guides10:00
knoppiesMagePsycho, I meant to imply that I do not know the exact command. You could try something like: rm -R path/to/directory *.svn10:00

MagePsychorm -r or rm -rf ?10:03
knoppiesMagePsycho, do you know how to use manpages?10:03
knoppiesMagePsycho, if you want it to just delete them and not bother about asking you, then do -rf, but if you want it to prompt you (or warn you that the file does not exist) then do -ir CAREFUL with -rf, you might end up deleting files you never meant to.10:05
knoppiesMagePsycho, you could also do -rfv and it will tell you everything that it does.10:05
MagePsychothanks knoppies10:05

MagePsychohow to drop all the tables10:29
MagePsycholike using wildcard :) DROP * TABLES10:29
shane_MagePsycho: Then like this:   DROP DATABASE (table); CREATE DATABASE (table);10:29
nadMagePsycho: you will have to grant access to the user you are using on the schema you are using, maybe with your root user. This is how it would work in mysql10:30

shane_glontu: First of all I would start of by removing network-manager all together rather than disabling it.11:27
pRoV7x !GUI11:28
ubottuThe graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively)11:28

shane_pRoV7x: A GUI is everything on your screen that you can see. Your windows, the mouse, everything. The other alternative to a GUI is CUI, which is command line interface (Text).11:29
babuin windows normally we would type //ipaddress to see the shared items..11:29
babuhow to do the same in ubutnu11:29
arucreidhello11:29
babuhow to do the same in Ubuntu11:29
arucreidi`ve a question11:29
shane_glontu: Well there is WICD or editing the OS's networking files.11:29
tonyyarussobabu: Places > Network11:29
pRoV7x shane_: i see, god man this Xorg uses a lot of CPU sometimes11:29
arucreiddoes anybody know, how to check in which domain/workgroup is my PC?11:29
shane_From a ease of use pov I would suggest WICD. From a stability point of view, edit the OS's files. However I have not had a problem with WICD.11:30
JdGordondoes anyone know how to find out which dhcp leases were given out by ubuntu when you use the network managers "share this connection" option?11:30
tonyyarussolittle: Applications > Sound and Video > Cheese Webcam Booth11:30
shane_pRoV7x: Yes that is to be expected. It has a massive job :)11:30
babuin Network it shows the user name.. i dunno it..11:30
babui ki know only ip addr11:30
babui know only ip addr11:30
antiheroI get an annoying buzzing in my speakers whenever I use my mouse, also sometimes when I scroll on a webpage.11:30
tonyyarussodyd: 'mount' will tell you your current device to mountpoint associations.11:31
antiheroNone of the topics I've found through google on the forums have solved it / are recent.11:31
arucreid??11:31
antiheroI'm using a M-Audio Delta 2496 that otherwise works great.11:31
tonyyarussoarucreid: It should be in your Samba config file.11:31
arucreidthe config of samba file is really enought to know which workgroup is it?11:32
babudo u get my qn?11:32
arucreidi mean i`ve 2 computers linux and windows11:32
pRoV7x shane_: is WICD a software that manges Networks?11:32
tonyyarussoarucreid: well, that's where you would define it.11:33
phuxiljo: what do yoou mean by misunderstood?[D11:33
arucreidi want to know that workgroup has importance to configuring it?11:33
pRoV7x shane_: how about SWscanner11:33
shane_pRoV7x: WICD is like network-manager, It allows you to connect to networks (provided you have the password).11:34
iljoi don't think orca does what i need done11:34
jwtiyarthe firefox will damage or stop when going from tab to other tab for a while11:34
babuin windows normally we would type //ipaddress to see the shared items..i know only ip addr11:34
pRoV7x shane_: i see, sweet11:34
babuits workin in windows11:34
iljowhen i start orca, all it does is start reading things on my screen11:34
shane_pRoV7x: Yes and no. From what I saw, SWscanner only manages wireless networks.11:34
shane_And it depensd on something else.11:35
tonyyarussobabu: You can also use Places > Connect to Server and use "Windows Share" as the type.11:35
babuthere is lot of options..11:35
arucreidok so I guess, it depends of what I type in smb.conf, and the name of workgroup must be the same11:36
arucreid?11:36
pRoV7x shane_: i see, just wonder how come Swscanner's file is 60 Mb, i was about to get it but changed my mind, lol11:36
jwtiyarany solution?11:36
arucreidthe same in windows machine11:36

xroHi, what is the best location to put website source code? (some people said me that /var/www isn't a good choice)12:12
gryxro: That's Apache's default web files location, yes.12:13
xrogry, but some people said that is not a good place to store source code (web python code) because apache could show it to users...12:15
SomelauwDJones: I tried, but I am still having the same problem.12:15
tsimpsonxro: it doesn't matter where, it's completely arbitrary12:15
gryxro, it's the default location - if you find permissions wrong, just ask in here and people would help you to set it up.12:15
tsimpsonxro: apache only needs to be able to read the files, other that that it can be anywhere12:15
gryxro, permissions do /not/ depend on files location in this case.12:16
xrook... thanls for your advices!12:16
xrothanks*12:16
gry:-)12:16
pajero:D12:16
SomelauwDJones: Also, it says there are updates for linux-generic, but I am not able to select those.12:17
tonyyarussoxro: It depends entirely on how you configure your web server.  No location is "good" or "bad" by reasons of apache showing it to users.  /var/www is however correct under the FHS.12:17
SomelauwI think my system is completely messed up.12:17
ejvI prefer /home/$USER/public_html/12:17
* ejv shrugs12:17
tonyyarussoejv: If it's user-specific that makes sense as well.12:18
gryejv, depends on whether you intend to have a site for all users, or just for one, I suppose.12:18
tonyyarusso/home/$USER/public_html/ is better than /var/www/$USER/, but /home/nobody/public_html as your only site is a bit silly.12:19
ejvi tend to find it more natural to navigate to my home dir, than /var/www, seems awkward to me :D12:19
szalSomelauw: try 'sudo apt-get upgrade' on the terminal instead12:19
gryThough we can vhost it to any location, e.g. hve global site domin point to one user's files - that'll work as well!12:19
SomelauwAlso it says that firefox can't be updated, but that is probably because I have a firefox ppa added.12:19
SomelauwDo I need to make a backup first?12:19
ejvalso my home tends to reside on an encrypted disk, whereas the contents of /var do not :)12:19
grySomelauw: run what szal said in Terminal, we'd see the error text.12:19
SomelauwBefore aptitude upgrade?12:20
gryUpdate first, then upgrade.12:20
szalSomelauw: if you use aptitude, then use that & scrap apt-get12:20

thamgry, um.. how do I compile it? Using python?12:33
grytham: Does it have a setup.py file in main project directory?12:33
knoppiestham, if its a python file then the chances are that it is a script and so doesnt need to be compiled. You need to find where the original is installed, and then swap out the python files. (I hope this helps, its rather vague)12:33

bazhangjwtiyar, please provide a synopsis here13:40
admgy22codepad.org/PSsJ00F513:40
D-DalusKnoppies, It doesn't work13:40
knoppiesD-Dalus, then I dont think it is a DNS issue. Could your ISP be filtering that site?13:40
admgy22is this an unusual sudoers setup?13:41
BluesKajD-Dalus, what kind of network are you working from ?13:42
jribadmgy22: it's usually the "admin" group in ubuntu afaik.  Maybe there's some alternative setup that makes it "sudo" by default.  Anyway, the way /etc/sudoers is now, anyone in the "sudo" group can sudo.  So if you want to remove sudo access for USER, just remove USER from the "sudo" group (use the « deluser USER sudo » command13:42
D-DalusKnoppies, no i don think so.13:43
admgy22oh okay13:43
jribmoystard: I know there exists a 3rd party tool to allow control from the command line and you could probably write a udev rule for it.  Still trying to remember its name and google-fu is not strong atm13:43
admgy22this makes sense, as I know that the way it was added was with "adduser"13:44

knoppiesD-Dalus, I am not sure what to try next.13:44
admgy22there was also something about /etc/passwd, about /etc/group, about useradd -G sudo, usermod -a -G sudo,13:44
D-DalusBlueskaj, well the problem is that i conncet to internet through a router (ZXV10 W300) and i wanted direct acceso to the net, so i configured it in "Bridge Mode" and created a DSL conection in Ubuntu, and it doesn't give me full acces and i don understand why13:44
admgy22so I wonder what the steps are to reverse those...13:45
moystardjrib, cheers, I will definitely have a look at that :)13:45
jribadmgy22: « deluser USER sudo » will remove USER from sudo.  The commands you listed, add a user to the sudo group13:45
jribKartagis: don't know13:45
jribKartagis: you might see if httrack does a better job, I suppose13:46
knoppiesD-Dalus, if you can create an SSH tunnel, then try use that, alternative try use a proxy site, or even give the tor network a try. That might solve your issue. Otherwise I am not sure how to fix your router problem.13:46
knoppiesadmgy22, is it not a good idea to format/re-install the server, seeing as you are assuming that the previous admin did not leave any backdoors for himself open.13:47

frostschutzmads-: the * is expanded by the shell. so if java runs cp directly without shell, that's your problem there. you either have to do the globbing in java or run a shell that does it for you14:27

Disc read OK after re-boot. I tried Linux Mint,  PCLi14:44

dr_willissubz3r0,  with samba - i often find it best to start with a simple config and work your way up. I never bother with those security settings18:12
Successahbit18:13
subz3r0dr_willis, i followed the german wiki, but it says when i use sometimes not secure connections (usb-stick, internet caffee etc. ) i should add those three lines to the smb.conf. but after that i cannot make a share within nautilus, thats weird18:14
ajacmac!tab?18:14
subz3r0interfaces = ip.of.the.netbooks, bind interfaces only = yes, und hosts allow = ip.of.the.client18:14
subz3r0when i uncomment them and restart the server everything works fine again18:15
dr_willissubz3r0,   if connecting in such places. i would just make sure samba is off.18:15
dr_willissubz3r0,  make your shares in the samba config file. not the user created shares perhaps? how often do you need to make a share on the fly like that?18:15
subz3r05-6 times a week. maybe u could tell me how i can stop samba from autorunning?18:16
subz3r0just need it to share documents to my netbook. thats why im using the share over nautilus18:16

Jorl17Hello, I am looking for some help on install 32-bit binaries of the nvidia binary package installed by apt. I have a 64-bit machine and have the nvidia files in /usr/lib/nvidia-current, but not in /usr/lib32/nvidia-current. I need these 32 bit files for Wine.18:22
dr_willisfajri,  the smart monitoring tools see a set # of failures in the smart info. and is warning you.  ive found the 10.10 suggestions to be a little bit.. over zelous and paranoid..18:22
dr_willisfajri,  but you may want to chck the disks with some other smart tools, and be sure to do proper backups18:22
dr_willisJorl17,  why do you need them for wine?18:23
Jorl17I would simply like to know how to install these lib32 files.18:23
Jorl17Because wine is a 32-bit application and it needs the 32-bit libraries.18:23
dr_willisive never needed to install  them for wine to work forme on my 64bit systems18:23
dr_willisIm not sure why wine would need the nvidia drivers at all.18:23
Jorl17For 3d18:23
dr_willisive ran 3d games without doing this stuff.18:24
Jorl17D3D. But there's some *extra* thing I haven't said18:24
Jorl17And it becomes very important in fact18:24
dr_willisfor direct3d tweaking you have checked out the winetricks tool? and the wine app database?18:24
Jorl17I own one of those optimus prime-suckers.18:24
RenieriusAny idea why there would be a big red square in the left corner of my screen with a "1" on it? There's no extra screen plugged in or such.18:24
guest1987Q). is there a server i can pull sources.list files from for Ubuntu PPC ? ie the default one for your LANG ?18:24
dr_willisRenaKunisaki,  the monitors 'settings tool' can get stuck ive seen.. saw that question asked once in here befor.. the guy had to check/kill some process to get it to vanish.. 'gnome-monitor-settings' or somtjhing named like that18:25
Jorl17Winetricks for d3d isn't needed nowadays. I'm quite experience with Wine and Linux, but this is indeed the first 64 bit machine I have, let alone one for which I need bumblebee.18:25
selvakumarani couldn't install Komodo Edit as well as Aptana Studio , can one help me?18:25
* RenaKunisaki headtilt18:26
dr_willisDual GPU setups - are such a 'cutting edge work in progress'  all i can say is good luck.18:26
dr_willisHope the 2  video card laptop stuff gets all smoothed out in time for the next release.  There must be 4+ people in here a day asking about them/bumblebee/otehr issues with them18:26
Jorl17Still, I didn't ask for help about that, I just asked out how to install the 32bit packages.18:26
Triscar0i have tryed boot with usb stick, but the lilo slackware boot screen just came up... any ideas why i cant boot ubuntu ?18:27
dr_willisTriscar0,  bios is not set to boot it.. or the usb stick is not made properly. so it goes to the HD.18:27
Jorl17Following discussions such as http://osdir.com/ml/hybrid-graphics-linux/2011-06/msg00039.html I see that there is some package nvidia-current-3218:28
Jorl17I mean lib32-nvidia-utils18:28
Jorl17but that's for arch. What about ubuntu?18:29
guest1987!sources.list18:29
ubottuThe packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories18:29
rahinHiya guys18:30
Triscar0dr_willis, but i have tryed cd and usb stick. and the cd booted but then the screen just got black.18:30
Jorl17Yes, but I'd like to know what the equivalent to lib32-nvidia-utils is18:30
Jorl17Pointing me to a repository without me knowing the name of the package isn't that much of a help. I've used Ubuntu for 4 years, I'm ok with that, honestly. I'd just like to know which package has these 32-bit libraries18:30
BostXHi all18:31

CoreyJorl17: Patience is a virtue.18:34
Jorl17Well, one thing is patience, the other is, as has happened in all 3 times I've been here for 4 years, being treated as an ignorant and an idiot. We're not there yet now, but we've been further away.18:35
dr_willisTriscar0,  have you tried the nomodeset option to see if its a video issue?18:35
dr_willis!nomodeset18:35
CoreyJorl17: If you're looking for a specific file, apt-file is your friend.18:35
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter18:35
Ervin89Before I ask this question its kind of long. About 7 to 9 lines. Is that a problem? or do I need to put it in that note thing online (I forget the website now)18:35
dr_willisBostX,  that would be a theme/window decorator setting/option.  easy way wouldbe find a theme with smaller title/borders18:36
Jorl17Corey, thanks, I will try that.18:36

Ervin89Hello all. I need some quick help (Hopefully). I am using Fuduntu basically a cross between Ubuntu and Fedora. It seems like it is more Ubuntu though. Anyway back to the point. I am trying to use unetbootin. I need to run it as root. Here is my problem when I try to in terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/634447/18:37
dr_willisErvin89,  to run an app as root use gksudo.18:38
dr_willisErvin89,  and i suggest just using the normal ubuntu.18:38
dr_willissicne getting support for Fuduntu is not here...  no idea where it would be supported at.. check its homepage.18:38
DOODi have ubuntu installed on my pc but when i want to put cd's in for my networkstick i dont know wheather i should use the windows version or what18:39
wrd!sound18:39
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.18:39
PiciErvin89: They have their own channel here: #fuduntu18:39
dr_willisDOOD,  if you mean use windows drivers for a usb-network-adaptor.. they dont work in linux.18:40
Ervin89Well I was usinng rgular ubuntu. But the new 11.04? Number correct? Does not like me whatsoever. So I have to use 10. And Skype ruins my internet connection on it for some reason. So I tried Fedora and it was great for my skype. But It had some issues So i thought Fuduntu. But Now i want to dual Boot fedora hence why i need to use unetboot18:40
=== kondores is now known as ctcp
CoreyDOOD: What model of "network stick" are you referring to?18:40
Ervin89Thanks dr_willis and Pici no one is ever there18:40

sarkiskind of sucks that i start up gnome-terminal to start urxvt or xterm :P18:40
CoreyDOOD: There a part number on it somewhere?18:40
dr_willisErvin89,  sounds like a good reason to use normal ubuntu then.18:40
Ervin89But skype then wont work18:41
DOODone min18:41
Jorl17Corey Nope, I don't find any package that installs 32 bit NVIDIA packages. Any idea?18:41
CoreyDOOD: Let's take this another way.  dmesg | tail -f in a terminal window, and then plug in the "network stick."  It should spit out what it is.18:41
dr_willissarkis,  make an icon on the desktop for it? use gnome-do? set it to be the default-terminal emulator? :)18:41
Jorl17I do find http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/nvidia-current/filelistbut that's for AMD6418:41

dr_willisErvin89,  its a standard ubuntu command on gnome at least....18:43
dr_willis!gksudo18:43
ubottuIf you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)18:43

Slartg0th: I haven't really used imagemagick beyond some simple scripted resizes.. but from what I've heard it is very powerful.. I'm afraid I can't really help you with specifics.. not sure if there is a channel dedicated to imagemagick.. #imagemagick perhaps?19:10

dr_willisNot much work in getting it going on the current release that ive heard of.19:15
yaaarso at some point the keyboard layout switcher changed behavior. used to be you'd select a layout and it would take effect globally (i.e. in all apps) until you chose a different one. now if you change your layout it takes effect only for the current application, and all the others continue to use whatever they were using before. is there any way to go back to the old behavior?19:15
xanguasysdoc_: gnome 3 is not currently supported on 11.0419:15
rtyuii prefer to ask my question here oCean19:15
yaaarit makes absolutely no sense to me why you would want two different keyboard layouts active for different applications at the same time. the typical use case is two users who want different layouts. i can't imagine someone really wanting a different layout for his terminal than he uses for email19:16
yaaaroh and btw i'm on 10.0419:17
yaaar(but this is the same in 11.04)19:17
dr_willisyaaar,  sounds like a good question for askubuntu.com    (or it may allready been asked there)  -  I never use layouts. :)19:17

simchan5005hi guys, how can i get my touchpad work. i intalled 11.04 and it cant work anymore19:20
sysdoc_dr_willis, thanks19:20
trismyaaar: are you talking about ibus? if so, 11.04 added a new setting to make the input method global to all applications, IBus Preferences/Advanced Tab/Share the same input method amoung all applications19:20
trismyaaar: scim used to have that setting as well, but the earlier versions of ibus didn't have it19:21
shreymech@ all - i have downloaded a mozilla version 5 , but i don't know that how to install a tar.bz2 .. can any one help,,19:23
yaaartrism: sorry, i don't know what ibus is (and googling it turned up stuff that doesn't seem to be related). i'm talking about the little thing in the notification area that i can click on to switch between keyboard layouts. i have two, one which is labelled "USA" (which is colemak) and one labelled "USA2" (which is qwerty).19:23
Dbl_Tapshreymech; in nautilus open in archive manager then extract files to location. should have setup scripts in there.19:24
macoyaaar: ibus is for input method stuff, like to type in japanese. you're just looking at the keyboard indicator i think19:24
shreymechDbl_Tap; i checked but can't see any...19:25
macoyaaar: used to be there was a keyboard setup thing in the preferences menu. im sure its still around somewhere but i dont know how to find it in unity19:25
Picishreymech: Which release of Ubuntu are you using?19:25
yaaarmaco: i'm on 10.04, so (thankfully) i'm not dealing with unity19:25

shreymechPici; i need one more suggestion.. currently i am on ubuntu 10.04 and it is showing an update of 650 MB .. so is it better to download and install a new 11.04 fresh or should i go for an upgradation.. i am confused..19:32
Picishreymech: It sounds like you haven't been upgrading your packages regularly. regularly19:32
shreymechPici; from many days internet connection was not available to me.. now i am back19:32
Picishreymech: You can try doing just an: apt-get upgrade, but that is not gauranteed to pull in the new firefox package(s).19:33
shreymechPici; but then i need to go through 2 upgrades.. one from 10.04 - 10.10 and than 10.10 - 11.04 ...19:33

Picishreymech: If you'd prefer to stay at the LTS release, you can wait until 12.04 comes out.19:38
shreymechPici; ohkk.. yes i usually prefer a LTS release..19:38
Picishreymech: But you should do an apt-get dist-upgrade to ensure that you have the latest security packages.  (this will not upgrade your Ubuntu release)19:38

TheMatrix3000is it possible to do a "sudo cp /home/defaultuser/Desktop/* /home/$USER/Desktop/" and have it copy data to all users21:02
TheMatrix3000or how would i copy from one Desktop folder to everyones desktop folder21:02
porchmonkeyTriscar0: wireless is always a pain in the ass21:02

tripelbhow do I tell what version of adobe flash I have?  I should know how.. but I dont.21:03

BloodboilHey hey, finally got this Ubuntu up and running, now as I'm using ubuntu for the first time, (in fact it's my first linux ever) could anyone recomend me some kind of security stuff etc?21:05
djr013tripelb: Otherwise you could check the package version with a package manager. You /might/ also have a Flash config utility installed automatically with Flash that you could check.21:05
edbianBloodboil: What do you mean 'security stuff' ?21:05
Triscar0porchmonkey, now it got ip, but now i tryed to connect to it wit putty from my windows computer, and it refuses my conection ?21:05
guntbertwhitehat: it is sshd21:06
BloodboilAs in firewalls, anti-virus etc etc. Mainly firewall thought21:06
edbianBloodboil: You don't need them :)21:06
BloodboilO.o you're kidding me?21:06
whitehatguntbert: yes,  however in /etc/init.d  is is ssh i.e. /etc/init.d/ssh21:06
edbianBloodboil: Most people on linux do not run either.21:06
porchmonkeyTriscar0: open your router panel and open the port on the ip it assigned u21:06
edbianBloodboil: This might start a flame war21:06
guntbert!av | Bloodboil21:06
ubottuBloodboil: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus21:06
vashI only use an anti-virus to scan my windows partition21:07
edbianBloodboil: Some people do run a firewall and will argue it is necessary but it is much less necessary on linux (arguably not at all) then it is on Windows21:07
pillowriceif i want to install ubuntu on a macbook pro, do i need boot camp?21:07
porchmonkeyTriscar0: if you ip ro, you will have the gateway = your router panel and the other number is the ip dhclient assigned you which you need to go into the gateway address by connecting to it from a browser on port 80.. then go to port triggering21:07
BloodboilI see, well thanks for that edbian. Now I just need to get myself rid of this number 1 caused by ccc... Wonder how this super user stuff works.21:08
edbianBloodboil: The difference is you're running almost 100% open source software.  All of your software comes from repos with trusted moderators.  This means malicious software is extremely rare21:08
edbianBloodboil: ccc ?21:08
porchmonkeyand input the number it issued you.. ssh ought be port 22 if i'm not mistaken21:08
edbianBloodboil: superuser (root) is the account that can do everything.  In Ubuntu you access super user using sudo21:09
guntbertwhitehat: try sudo restart ssh21:09
porchmonkeyTriscar0: but you can open them all just to be safe and you will in the future want to make your linux boot up with a static address as opposed to having dhclient issue you whichever is next in line21:10
Triscar0porchmonkey, when i use sudo apt-get update. does it install the updates also or only download them? it whent soo fast. 132 packeges can be updated.21:10

Sidewinder1Bloodboil, You might find this of particular interest: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=33821:12
porchmonkeyTriscar0: you've got the carriage before the horse, update will update what is available and then compared to what is on your system tell you what is available for upgrade21:12
porchmonkeyTriscar0:you can use apt-get to download packages only and do dry runs or simulated runs etc. you basically have is a note saying here is what is available to upgrade.21:13

TerabyteAzrael91 if it's a set of latex files then you need the latex compiler (or texmike)22:02
Testbe_BluesKaj: stop trolling.22:02
chris_99hi, does anyone know how to stop the currently selected window moving to the next workspace when you switch.  this is on ubuntu 11.22:03

chris_99i've also only got 'only on this workspace' ticked22:03
LjLTestbe_: no you stop. this channel has 1500 people and you're not the center of it, please wait patiently for an answer like all the others22:03

skegeekrepost: Is bsd-mailx a port to Ubuntu?22:05
kingofswordsi cant load into winxp since i joined 2 partitions together..can i edit my boot.ini through ubuntu?22:05
edbiankingofswords: yes you can edit boot.ini22:06
prowerhello :> the version of java currently provided by canonical's "parter" repository (oracle's java, that is) is vulnerable to a number of security issues, including a rather severe one for the browser plugin...is there a way that i could track the latest version for updates or would i have to install it manually?22:07
edbiankingofswords: Just mount your windows partition and edit it :)22:07
kingofswordsedbian,  its says partition(2) in boot.ini do i just change it to partion 1?22:07
kingofswordsedbian, yeh ive edited it but still xp doesnt load up22:08
edbiankingofswords: I am not familiar with the file.  Is it on partition 1 now?  Worth a shot IMO22:08
edbiankingofswords: Does windows xp show up in your grub menu?22:08
kingofswordsedbian, yeh xp is i my boot screen22:09
ScottR4kingofswords, just so we understand what's going on, you joined two partitions together? is that right?22:09
kingofswordsi dont know what grub menu is22:09
ScottR4kingofswords: so two separate partitions are now one? or is my reading comp suffering from caffeine withdrawal22:09
edbiankingofswords: i don't know what a boot screen is22:09
Terabyteany advise on my x11 issue?22:10
kingofswordsScottR4, yeh i had a fat2gb and 35gbntfs for xp....i formatted that fat 2gb in order to join to 35gb one22:10
msavwhile trying to configure two monitors I've unfortunately disabled the monitor which has the desktop. I only have one screen which has nothing but a background. How can I get the other working22:10
ScottR4Terabyte: still googling, have you tried just installing x11 and ssh'ing in?22:10
TerabyteScottR4 i have considered it, but i'm not sure if it's safe now reading around..22:11
ScottR4kingofswords: Windows does not like you moving anything around, you may have to repair the installation22:11
TerabyteScottR4 just looking to see if there's a secure alternative22:11
rtyuihello22:11
rtyuithre22:11
Terabytehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI22:11
edbiankingofswords: You should put windows xp on NTFS partitions22:11
Terabyte^ this22:11
kingofswordsScottR4, i was gonna join them once i got back into xp....2gb fat(now ntfs thru ubuntu) is partiion 1 and 35gb is partition 2 i think22:11
ScottR4Terabyte: you could always just start x11, connect, do your thing, and then stop x11... no?22:11
tonyyarussoskegeek: Yes, the bsd-mailx package provides the version of the mail command found in BSD, as opposed to the GNU version in the mailutils package or the older BSD version in heirloom-mailx.22:11
rtyuiafter following this tutorial http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/serveur_mail_avec_postfix_et_courier-imap?s[]=mail&s[]=server can't able to send mail22:11
pdtpatrickHas anyone noticed in 11.04 as a regular user.. tab completion does funky things? for instance if i wanted to cd into /home/something/where .. and if i type /home/somewhere and press tab.. it would create a space rather than show available folders or files22:12
ScottR4kingofswords: where was XP originally installed?22:12
rtyuii don't know where the probleme came from22:12
rtyuianyone can help ?22:12
kingofswordsedbian, yeh i did...i have ssd drive and its funny about installing xp from usb...it create 2gb fat partition in order to copy files to....then installed onto different partition22:12
kingofswordsScottR4, xp is on partition 2 the 35gb ntfs22:12
edbiankingofswords: ooooo k22:12
kingofswordsits confusing i know lol22:13
TerabyteScottR4 yes that would be fine too, but i'd like to fully understand exactly what the vulnerabilities are. i mean it's just forwarding graphical data over ssh, if you're logged in over ssh that should be the only way to compromise the server.22:13
edbiankingofswords: :)22:13
ScottR4kingofswords: okay. so you currently have partition 1: blank NTFS, partition 2: windows NTFS, right?22:13
ScottR4kingofswords: not yet merged, and you can't boot into partition 2?22:13
kingofswordsScottR4, correct22:13
kingofswordsScottR4, correct too22:14
kingofswordsrepair console in xp doesnt work for me either22:14
edbiankingofswords: I recommend running sudo update-grub   which should re-find your windows partition.  I think this is the problem, not boot.ini22:14
Terabytestill don't quite understand which way round it is either, the server has the xclient, and the client has the xserver?22:14
ScottR4kingofswords: Before you mentioned you didn't know what the grub menu is... grub shows up right after your computer POSTs and gives you a list of installed operating systems22:14
edbianScottR4: If you press the shift key22:14
rtyui? anyone22:14
rtyui?anyone22:14
kingofswordsScottR4, ok..i thought this was boot menu...yeh xp and ubuntu both show up fine in this22:15
rtyuianyone there ?22:15
ScottR4edbian: depends on your install, most default ubuntu setups go straight to grub menu22:15
martianWhen I double cick on a php script in gnome, it asks if I want to 'run in terminal', 'display', 'cancel', or 'run'. Is there a way to have it default to 'display' (which will in turn open it in my default editor)?22:15
ScottR4kingofswords: and selecting windows xp doesn't boot properly?22:15
edbianScottR4: Not since 11.04   now the default is to not show the menu (unless I think, you have 2 or more OSs)22:15
kingofswordsScottR4, correct22:15
ScottR4kingofswords: I agree with edbian then, sudo update-grub should probably fix everything22:15
kingofswordsScottR4, well it doesnt boot at all22:16
edbiankingofswords: :)22:16
edbianScottR4: thanks22:16
kingofswordsok..ill do this and reboot brb thx22:16
ScottR4edbian: didn't know that, thanks for the update... I'm avoiding 11.04 for now after a bad upgrade experience -_-22:16
edbianScottR4: ouch22:16
leftinessI want to use my Android phone as a bluetooth microphone. I have an app that routes the audio from my phone's microphone to the stereo sound. I have Bluez and Blueman. My phone is connected and paired. However, it's coming up as a filesystem - not an audio device. I know my phone supports A2DP streaming, but information is scarce on this subject. With what I've provided, is someone capable of helping me stream the audio output o22:16
kingofswordsedbian, thx22:16
edbiankingofswords: hopefully it works22:16
kingofswordshope so =)22:17

tonyyarussophillyj: install --reinstall22:17
ScottR4Alright, back to the original reason I joined here: Where on earth are the sound commands from the gnome keyboard shortcuts menu stored, and how can I change them (from, say, rhythmbox to banshee)22:17
phillyjoo22:17
kingofswordsback...didnt reboot but now xp has disapeared from from grub menu according to terminal22:18
ScottR4kingofswords: did you modify boot.ini by hand at all?22:18

Connor_Hi there guys. I have a few questions about ubuntu linux22:18
ScottR4kingofswords: oh, well that takes care of that. and no windows xp?22:18
phillyjtonyyarusso: now the error is "E: Invalid operation ubuntu-desktop"22:18
Connor_Can I have some help?22:18
ScottR4Connor_: just ask away :)22:19
leftinessConnor_: Just ask your question. =D22:19
kingofswordsi had xp disapear from grub menu last timei change partition thou and only got back when i reinstalled windows22:19
tonyyarussophillyj: err, what did you type?22:19
ZykoticK9phillyj, "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop"22:19
kingofswordsScottR4, no xp still just not in grub22:19
phillyjtonyyarusso: sudo apt-get --reinstall ubuntu-desktop22:19
Connor_Is there any way to boot ubuntu so I can use my wireless keyboard and mouse? I can't find my wired mouse. I am running ubuntu from a cd on a mac22:19
tonyyarussophillyj: You forgot the install part.22:19
ScottR4kingofswords: Yikes. It sounds like that little 2gb partition was kind of important...22:20
leftinessConnor_: Wireless bluetooth, or with a usb receiver?22:20
Connor_Wireless bluetooth22:20
phillyjtonyyarusso: got it22:20
kingofswordsScottR4, yeh it was empty thou just for copying xp install files22:20
=== Krabbe is now known as krabbe
leftinessConnor_: I'm unfamiliar with your Mac. Does it support bluetooth?22:20

bugzillahi22:21
geekeasyCan anyone help me install sqlite?  It should be trivial, but I'm running into problems.22:21
Connor_Erm.... poop22:21
kingofswordsi had this problem b4 and someone here found solution but i had already reinstalled xp22:21
Connor_I have a wired keyboard, but no mouse that's wird :-(22:21
tonyyarussogeekeasy: apt-get install sqlite322:21
Connor_So if I have one but not the other, what do I do?22:22
bugzillaand php-sqlite if you use a php script22:22
Connor_Hrm?22:22
ScottR4kingofswords: I hate to suggest it, and maybe someone has a better idea, but it sounds like it's time to manually tamper with /boot/grub/menu.lst :-/22:22
Connor_leftiness. I have a wired keyboard, and wireless mouse22:23
kingofswordsScottR4, i think that was prob b4.....but didnt know how to edit it...any sugesstions?22:23
tonyyarussoConnor_: I'm not sure how it works in 11.04, but in 10.04 you can do Alt-F1 to select the main menu, then use the arrow keys to go to System > Preferences > Bluetooth and a combination of arrows and enter to step through the pairing.22:23
Connor_ok.22:23
martianWhen I double cick on a php script in gnome, it asks if I want to 'run in terminal', 'display', 'cancel', or 'run'. Is there a way to have it default to 'display' (which will in turn open it in my default editor)?22:23
Connor_Thank you very much22:23
ScottR4kingofswords: sadly, this is beyond my experience... sorry!22:23
kingofswordsok22:23
Connor_Wait. Macintosh alt or PC alt22:23
tonyyarussoregular22:24
ScottR4so, no one knows how to modify the commands executed with gnome keybindings?22:24
leftinessConnor_: There is certainly a way to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Ubuntu. It just comes down to whether your system supports bluetooth.22:24
kingofswordsScottR4,  i can find where menu.1st22:24
tonyyarussoScottR4: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts ?22:24
tonyyarussoleftiness: His issue is that he needs to pair it first.22:25
VCooliomartian: right click > properties > open with, set default there for all php; or in nautilus (the file manager) edit > preferences > behavior, set behavior for executable files22:25
geekeasytonyyarusso: Is that for php5?22:25
ScottR4tonyyarusso: I'm binding my media player key to "Launch media player", but it wants to run rhythmbox, not banshee( which I just installed)22:25
leftinesstonyyarusso: I think he has a Macbook, so he's using a touchpad and the built-in keyboard. How else would he get to an IRC chat?22:25
tonyyarussogeekeasy: I didn't say anything about PHP.22:25
VCooliomartian: not sure if php is reckoned among executables22:26
ScottR4kingofswords: shoot, grub2, not grub... I recommend google, you'll get more information there than from me :(22:26
leftinessWhoa... I was obviously lagging behind the chat. I just got a whole screen of chat...22:26
tonyyarussoleftiness: another computer?  I didn't see where he said what the machine was.22:26
geekeasyI need sqlite for php5.  The command i was given to get it is -- apt-get install php5-sqlite22:26
geekeasyBut that's failing.22:26
VCoolio!grub2 | kingofswords did you check this?22:27
ubottukingofswords did you check this?: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

Terabytethx22:39
tonyyarussoTerabyte: By default root has no password AND the default sshd config disables root login, so even if you set a password for root it won't be allowed via SSH.22:39

CombatjuanI'd like to know what the pwd of a process was when it was started.  If I look at it with top I can see it was started with the command "python ./some_file.py" but I have 100 some_file.pys in the system.  I'd like to know which it was.22:53
rhalff_trism, thanks :-)22:53
fpuhmm22:53
CombatjuanIf I go to /proc/<the_pid> there is a symlink called cwd but it seems to go to '/' and that definitely doesnt seem right.22:54

CombatjuanIndeed, if I go to "/proc/<the_pid>" and I cat cmdline, I get "python ./some_file.py".  But if I ls "cwd" it clearly shows the root directory and there is no some_file.py there.  So I'm confused.22:56

pwnushi ubuntu croud, is there a way in unity to change the location of the dock?23:01
CombatjuanUpdate: I suppose the /proc/<some_pid>/cwd confusion probably has to do with how python starts itself.  If I ls -la /proc/<the_pid>/fd then I can see that it has a file descriptor open to a particular some_file.py so I figured it out that way.23:01

mu3enineonkid, ie. if you can't boot the debian install it's an indication that your hardware has some issues full stop23:39

fffffffuuuuuuuuuadded a -t ext4 (which is the correct file system type). It's just hanging. Is there no way of getting an even more verbose output from mount?23:46
StarminnIf I made something with Linux Multimedia Studio, used it freely and openly, what restrictions would I have to follow?23:47
arosenfffffffuuuuuuuuu: dmesg?23:47
katmagicxarth: Possibly. What are you trying to compile?23:47
neonkidwell I have tryed a few different live cd and dvd's (installed on other computer's), tryed wubi, tryed the f6 options and different bios configurations.23:47
jzblfffffffuuuuuuuuu: dmesg and strace...23:47
xarthkatmagic, a cross compiler for arm23:47
ActionParsnipneonkid: tried booting usb?23:47
xarthi tried to compile gcc for my native without problems but for arm i have a problem23:48
neonkidThe bios wont let me.23:48
katmagicYou're trying to compile a compiler that compiles for ARM, or you're trying to compile something for ARM?23:48
BernardVneonkid: What kind of resolution and graphical interface does the vaio have?23:48
ActionParsnipneonkid: do you have a floppy drive?23:49
mu3enwhat's floppy drive?...23:49
xarthi m trying to compile a compiler for gcc23:49
ActionParsnipmu3en: takes a 3.5" disk23:49
xarthsorry for arm23:49
tman_tmanwhat command do i run to find the chipset of my wireless card so i can use that info to configure kismet?23:49
xarthbut i have this error: checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files .....   error: size of array 'off_t_is_large' is negative23:50
leeeroooy_jtman_tman: id try lshw  first23:50
neonkidit has a standerd resolution, 1024x786 or something23:50
Terabytewhat's the opposite of sudo adduser username admin23:50
Terabyte(to de-admin them)23:50
mu3engrin... as in not a 3.5" SATA drive i guess Action Parsnip...23:50
tman_tmanok i'll try that23:50
ActionParsnipTerabyte: rmuser     you can use -p to remove their home too23:50
Terabytei don't want to delete the user23:50
Terabytei just want to unadmin them23:50
ActionParsnipmu3en: no, they take disks like this http://img.ehowcdn.co.uk/article-page-main/ehow-uk/images/a04/m7/a1/floppy-drive-save-information-800x800.jpg23:51
ActionParsnipTerabyte: ahh, then its not that23:51
leeeroooy_jtman_tman: to just focus on your card you may want to put sudo lshw -c network23:51
tman_tmanone more thing do you know what information i put under the kismet source line in kismet.conf23:51
BernardVxarth: You want to compile a compiler for ARM to compile for arm on a x86 CPU?23:51
ActionParsnipTerabyte: look into usermod to remove them from the admin group23:51
xarthBernardV, yes23:51
KindariHey guys. Just got a new mouse with extra buttons (buttons 6 & 7 I guess). Wondering how I can change what keys they emulate.23:51
chad___ActionParsnip: I couldn't get to the gconf settings you mentioned23:51
leeeroooy_jtman_tman: sorry i don't use kismet23:51
BernardVThen google for "gcc arm toolchain"23:52
mu3endamn...that must hold what..at least a mb and a half ActionParsnip23:52
tman_tmanok thats cool thank you very much23:52
tman_tmanthat helped alot23:52
tman_tman:)23:52
ActionParsnipchad___: sudo apt-get install gconf-editor23:52
ebec1983Does anybody have experience making multiple monitor support for a video card that doesn't automatically register the second display?23:52
leeeroooy_jtman_tman: you re welcome :)23:52
neonkidthe only floppy drive I have is on the coputer in question23:53
xarthBernardV, thx, but i will already tried. I followed this tutorial: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/index.html .23:53
chad___ActionParsnip: I already downloaded it and ran it, but I can't get to /apps/nautilus/preferences.23:53
neonkidcomputer*23:53
leeeroooy_jebec1983: sadly that is sometimes common, what video card are you using?23:53
BernardVxarth: What's the target? Something like the Mini2440 board?23:53
chad___ActionParsnip: Those directories are missing23:53
ebec1983GeForce 8400 GS. Thanks btw for any help23:53
xarthBernardV, my target is an arm23:54
KindariI tried following this guide for mapping more buttons, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto but when I execute "imwheel -c" I get "configuration terminated by signal 11"23:54
BernardVxarth: Maybe you can find some usefull info on http://www.friendlyarm.net something like: http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/158223:54
leeeroooy_jebec1983: you re welcome, I'll do my best to help you , could you please tell me/us what version of ubuntu and nvidia drivers you re using?23:54
moseshow come when ubuntu installs it doesnt take longer to format the disk???23:54
xarthBernardV, I compiled different tools used by gcc. (mpfr gmp cloog ppl mpc)23:54
xarthok i will check23:54
xarththx23:55
BernardVxarth: I have a few ARM boards here, but didn't have the time to test them, so I don't know exactly how to get it working.23:55
ActionParsnipchad___: i see, hmm23:55
ebec1983latest desktop and nvidia drivers sorry i'm on windows right now. should i check and come back?23:55
ActionParsnipchad___: do you have the folder $HOME/Desktop    ?23:55
mu3enthere is #ubuntu-arm too xarth23:55
chad___ActionParsnip: YEs23:55
leeeroooy_jebec1983: did you install  those drivers from jockey? using proprietary ones?23:55
ActionParsnipchad___: I'd ask in #xubuntu too, let me websearch23:56
ebec1983proprietary from drivers settings in admin23:56
Terabytestill haven't figured it out23:56
ebec1983the "typical" way23:56
chad___ActionParsnip: I did earlier today, but unfortunately it's not nearly as active23:56
=== sysdoc_ is now known as sysdoc
ebec1983sorry i wish i had more23:56
leeeroooy_jebec1983: it would be rather hard to provide you help if you re not on Ubuntu but lets see, do both monitors work with windows in the first place?23:56
xarthBernardV, my idea is to compile a cross compiler for arm and use qemu to test it23:57
xarthmu3en, ok i will test23:57
xarththx23:57
ebec1983not without nvidia drivers. should i check x.org configuration settings and manually add the second monitor?23:57
ActionParsnipchad___: mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/xfdesktoprc23:57
leeeroooy_jebec1983: so with nvidia drivers the 2 monitors work under windows?23:57
ActionParsnipchad___: change show-home=true   to show-home=false23:57
BernardVgcc can compile for arm with the right toolchains, I don't know if you can compile gcc for arm...23:58
vltHello. How can I run a program and tell it to always stay on top of the other X windows?23:58
ActionParsnipvlt: i believe its a setting in ccsm23:58
chad___ActionParsnip: This file is empty. Sjust input that?23:58
katmagicTerabyte: Probably `sudo usermod -G "$(groups $USER | sed -e "s/$BAD_GROUP//;s/ /,/g; s/^,//; s/,$//; s/,,//")" $USER`23:58
chad___ActionParsnip: So*23:58
ActionParsnipchad___: http://richs-lxh.com/howto-hide-or-show-xfce-desktop-icons/#comment-800623:58
Starminnvlt: Or after it's running just set "Always on top" by right-clicking on the title bar23:58
ebec1983leeeeroooy, yes they do with nvidia drivers under Windows.23:58
tylerCanadais there anyway to set up Twinview so that using two different monitors (with different resolutions) I don't have a 'single virtual desktop' that is taller than one of my monitors can display?23:59
Terabytekatmagic is there a better way that's slightly more verifiable?23:59
leeeroooy_jebec1983: did you try look for a "dual monitor" option under nvidia control panel? (under Ubuntu)23:59
Terabytegod knows if that code works23:59
vltStarminn: I'm looking for a way to _run_ it on top from the very beginning.23:59
BernardVxarth: You could also install ubuntu-arm in qemu and install gcc :P23:59
Starminnvlt: Then as someone else said, ccsm is likely what you want23:59
tylerCanadaideally I would like both monitors to run at native resolutions and for the window manager to just stop windows from appearing where I can't see them23:59
intraderHello, I have the need to provide more disk space to root and home. I have an 8.8 GB unmounted reiserfs which I believe I could use. How do I do this?23:59
