[00:00] <jwash> any of you have experience with x11rdp?
[00:00] <westz> jwash: i've never used remote so i cant really help
[00:00] <jwash> hehe, that's all i do
[00:00] <clr> how do I roll back todays updates?
[00:01] <clr> the new intel driver ihas made my system unusable
[00:01] <dov> jwash: as a server or a client?
[00:01] <jwash> x11rdp as a server
[00:02] <dov> jwash: no, sorry.  the only thing i did was x11 over ssh
[00:02] <jwash> specifically i'd like to bind x11vnc to x11rdp rather than xvnc being bound
[00:03] <jwash> I'd be in a world of hurt without ssh though
[00:03] <THIS_IS_INSANE> so It worked. by default, does ubuntu use a generic graphics driver for nvidia onboard cards?
[00:03] <dov> jwash: i think that rdp is implemented as a plugin in vino
[00:03] <jwash> vino, never heard of that, i'll have a look now. thanks for the tip
[00:03] <thirteen> 有说汉语的吗？
[00:03] <dov> jwash: vino is the remote desktop implementation server of ubuntu's vnc
[00:04] <rypervenche> 有
[00:04]  * drahst scratches his eyes
[00:04] <thirteen> 感动啊
[00:04] <thirteen> 终于看见汉字了
[00:04] <FloodBot1> thirteen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:04] <bazhang> !cn | thirteen
[00:04] <dov> jwash: but the only support that i found in it for rdp is for connecting as a client to an rdp host
[00:04] <bazhang> thirteen, /join #ubuntu-cn
[00:06] <dov> jwash: 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 developed
[00:06] <THIS_IS_INSANE> westz: it worked. does ubuntu use generic graphics by default?
[00:06] <jwash> dov: that's what i've been using
[00:07] <jwash> but it uses xvnc rather than x11vnc
[00:07] <coz_> dov,  last update for that was  2010-11-24
[00:07] <jwash> anyway, i broke it somehow
[00:07] <thirteen> thanks
[00:07] <jwash> 在这个房间里没有中国来说
[00:07] <thirteen> 有
[00:07] <bazhang> jwash, #ubuntu-cn
[00:08] <jwash> hehe, i just let him know
[00:08] <westz> THIS_IS_INSANE: no idea, i just know that when you first install ubuntu, there are four entries in grub (excluding windfows)
[00:08] <THIS_IS_INSANE> okay, thanks
[00:08] <dov> no one here uses evolution?
[00:09] <Marqeaux> Yes, me...
[00:09] <bazhang> dov, whats the real question
[00:09] <dov> how to create a calendar event from a task
[00:11] <Marqeaux> No idea Dov, but I'm trying it now. Just a sec...
[00:12] <dov> Marqeaux: ok, thanks
[00:12] <PythonSnake> HI
[00:12] <bazhang> PythonSnake, hi
[00:13] <Hamburger> what would happen if i installed a package with apt-get for an older release of ubuntu than what i have? https://launchpad.net/~slicer/+archive/ppa only has packages up to maverick and i'm running natty
[00:13] <PythonSnake> I can't get on unity only terminal alt+ctrl+f1 f2 ... I have this error for f7 EE FBDEv 0 fbioputcmap invalid argument
[00:13] <PythonSnake> somebody help me please..
[00:13] <PythonSnake> this hapened after updaute
[00:13] <bazhang> Hamburger, might work. have had done so in the past. PPA are completely unsupported in any event you realize
[00:13] <PythonSnake> update*
[00:14] <THIS_IS_INSANE> how do I edit the GRUB boot list?
[00:14] <bazhang> PythonSnake, please dont hit enter two words, coupled with help me
[00:14] <Marqeaux> Dov, I tried to export the task as a iCalendar-file, and imported it back into the calender. I didn't work (unfortunately)....
[00:14] <bazhang> !grub2 | THIS_IS_INSANE please have a read
[00:14] <Hamburger> THIS_IS_INSANE, edit /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:14] <bazhang> Hamburger, thats not correct
[00:15] <Hamburger> er
[00:15] <dov> Marqeaux: that's what i found, too
[00:15] <dov> Marqeaux: i guess it can't be done yet
[00:15] <dov> Marqeaux: thanks for trying, though
[00:16] <Autoclesis> when I right click to open a file with other application, why does it have like Krita or Gimp listed several times?
[00:16] <Autoclesis> why not just once?
[00:16] <Marqeaux> Dov: You're welcome. But it still is strange this couldn't be done in Evolution. Have you ever tried the same thing with Thunderbird? And did it work there?
[00:16] <Hamburger> /boot/grub/menu.lst sry
[00:16] <bazhang> Hamburger, no. please check the wiki
[00:16] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: ubottu: I didn't lose grub, I am unable to see the selection menu when I hit the shift key, and I want XP as the default.
[00:16] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 Hamburger
[00:17] <THIS_IS_INSANE> Hamburger: thanks, I'll try that
[00:17] <dov> Marqeaux: I didn't try it with tbird.  I know that tbird uses the lightning plugin, but that's about the extent of my knowledge of it
[00:17] <drahst> which runs better on ubuntu, Xen or KVM?
[00:17] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, thats not the correct info
[00:17] <drahst> or is it zen
[00:17] <oohupursforthepr> hi thanks got desktop toolbar back but it is very different to one i left. there is simply toolbar at top with applications, places and system no sidebar. how do i get back to the one i love (sob)
[00:17] <Marqeaux> Dov: Ah, okay....
[00:17] <Hamburger> ok i didn't realize grub2 changed so much
[00:17] <dov> Marqeaux: i don't have time to switch apps now anyway
[00:17] <bazhang> Hamburger, it did
[00:17] <Autoclesis> what do I do about an update that never updates and cannot be deleted from the update list?
[00:18] <Marqeaux> Dov: I understand! ;-)
[00:18] <oohupursforthepr> update it
[00:18] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: thanks.
[00:18] <Autoclesis> I did
[00:18] <Hamburger> THIS_IS_INSANE, /etc/default/grub is what you want
[00:18] <Autoclesis> It never does anything
[00:18] <Marqeaux> Dov: Good luck anyway.... ;-)
[00:18] <Hamburger> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 read that THIS_IS_INSANE
[00:18] <Autoclesis> it's for Krita
[00:18] <oohupursforthepr> ne ideas im stuck in ubuntu classic
[00:18] <Hamburger> what would happen if i installed a package with apt-get for an older release of ubuntu than what i have? https://launchpad.net/~slicer/+archive/ppa only has packages up to maverick and i'm running natty
[00:18] <oohupursforthepr> dont
[00:19] <bazhang> Hamburger, I answered that already
[00:19] <oohupursforthepr> see previous crash thread
[00:19] <Autoclesis> i chose classic i can't handle unity
[00:19] <PythonSnake> no one can help me ?
[00:19] <Hamburger> bazhang, where?
[00:19] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, you are in classic? whats the issue
[00:19] <oohupursforthepr> i love unity classic hurting my poor brain
[00:19] <Hamburger> oh
[00:19] <Hamburger> gotcha
 Hamburger, might work. have had done so in the past. PPA are completely unsupported in any event you realize
[00:19] <oohupursforthepr> i was in unity it crashed was told to restart in classic
[00:19] <oohupursforthepr> which i did
[00:19] <Hamburger> this channel scrolls too quickly :\
[00:20] <oohupursforthepr> now want to get back to corrupted unity
[00:20] <THIS_IS_INSANE> Hamburger: true dat...
[00:20] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, easy on the enter key, its impossible to follow your posts
[00:20] <oohupursforthepr> i had downloaded wrong gnome app that made sidebar and toolbar disappear
[00:20] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, what "wrong gnome app"
[00:21] <oohupursforthepr> and nothing worked.
[00:21] <oohupursforthepr> something to do with changing desktop graphics and all that
[00:21] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, answer my question please
[00:21] <oohupursforthepr> g somthing or other. then suddenly everything went 'gnome' on me
[00:21] <Corey> !enter | oohupursforthepr
[00:21] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, exact name please
[00:22] <oohupursforthepr> hold on then
[00:23] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, gnome3 then
[00:24] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: how do I open a command line?
[00:24] <zi> in gnome alt-f2 and gnome-terminal
[00:24] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, alt ctrl T
[00:24] <zi> :'o
[00:24] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: thanks.
[00:25] <westz> THIS_IS_INSANE: or ctrl+alt+T by default (depends if you've messed with your keyboard configs
[00:25] <westz> *)
[00:25] <oohupursforthepr> compiz
[00:25] <oohupursforthepr> config
[00:26] <oohupursforthepr> open gl or summin
[00:26] <RD_1542> anyone have a spare minute or two to help with what seems some internet connection problems, helping someone get their connection back.
[00:26] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, this is ughtt from earlier, right?
[00:26] <oohupursforthepr> oui monsinour
[00:27] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, opengl or summin? whats the exact package name
[00:27] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: westz: and the command is edit /etc/default/grub right?
[00:27] <westz> RD_1542: ETHERNET OR WIRELESS?
[00:27] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, please read the wiki before proceeding.
[00:28] <oohupursforthepr> compiz. my full name is oohupyoursforthepriceoffish (dont ask) by the way but thats a diff story. compiz open gl
[00:28] <RD_1542> ethernet, just dissapeared on her, did to mine a week or so, but reappeared
[00:28] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: I was
[00:28] <oohupursforthepr> the problem is i am getting commands off linux mag with different cd to one installed
[00:29] <oohupursforthepr> both say ubuntu 11.04 though but noticed differences in tabs etc
[00:29] <westz> RD_1542: try doing it in command line. the Arch wiki has good documentation on doing it
[00:29] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, you need an editor, edit wont do anything
[00:30] <RoC_MasterMind> is there documentation of the post-install iSCSI on root process and what's needed?
[00:30] <bazhang> !info compiz-opengl | oohupursforthepr
[00:30] <oohupursforthepr> now i installed this desktop graphics app and it all went downhill. alt f2 didnt work. now sidebar or toolbar. now in classic and wondering how to get home must be something you can do like system restore surely
[00:30] <oohupursforthepr> well it does in linux mag
[00:31] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, was it gnome3?
[00:31] <oohupursforthepr> its called linux magbook published by computer shopper pcpro and micromart
[00:31] <THIS_IS_INSANE> oh okay. I thought I could edit it from a command line.
[00:31] <bazhang> sudo nano THIS_IS_INSANE
[00:31] <westz> bazhang: dammit i had that all typed out.... you stole it!
[00:32] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, being a magazine wont change the ubuntu software
[00:32] <RD_1542> trying to see if she has ethool installed, at least, so trying 1 other thing brb
[00:32] <RD_1542> have been on command line, though eth cards would be listed in interfaces, hers is not, just auto lo, but same on mine
[00:32] <lapaga> where does ubuntu download updates to and is it safe to delete them?
[00:33] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, sounds like you installed the gnome3 PPA.
[00:33] <RoC_MasterMind> anybody got iscsi on root working?  it installs fine, but how to boot from it?
[00:33] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, there is no system restore, unless you have full backups
[00:34] <oohupursforthepr> on page82. the ubuntu version i installed was from linux format mag
[00:35] <oohupursforthepr> i mean they could talk to each other....same version numbers should be exactly the same surely
[00:35] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, whats the name of it
[00:35] <RD_1542> no luck on ethool, was not in her install set, not sure where else to look if her card is even being seen,
[00:35] <westz> RD_1542: ifconfig
[00:36] <RD_1542> ifconfig only shows loopback
[00:36] <westz> then it's not seeing eth
[00:36] <oohupursforthepr> the program that messed me up was from linux magbook a sort of handbook mag bought at stanstead airport :)   the other i like more and that it corrupted was from linux format mag by future publishing
[00:36] <RD_1542> is a dual boot machine, and has internet in windows
[00:36] <taraduffy> can anyone have a go with helping with a fstab mounting error?
[00:37] <oohupursforthepr> both say ubuntu 11.04 on mag and disc
[00:37] <oohupursforthepr> gonna sue ha
[00:37] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, whats the linux distro name.
[00:37] <ohir> lapaga: /var/cache/apt. Its better to let apt apt-cache take care of ot
[00:38] <oohupursforthepr> just says ubuntu 11.04 on both
[00:38] <lapaga> ohir, thank you
[00:38] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, and the name of the "desktop app" that you installed?
[00:38] <ohir> lapaga: open your terminal and type man apt-cache to know how
[00:38] <oohupursforthepr> theyve c***ked  up somewhere methinks. the name is compiz open gl i was told to install from linux magbook page 82
[00:39] <ohir> lapaga: also you may learn a bit about apt apt-get et consortes
[00:39] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, no package by that name
[00:39] <oohupursforthepr> bought it a week ago aboout
[00:39] <oohupursforthepr> uy
[00:39] <oohupursforthepr> yes there is
[00:39] <brig> Why cant I cat /dev/video0?
[00:40] <rhin0> because its  a device brig
[00:40] <brig> rhin0: ok well what should I use to get the contents?
[00:41] <brig> I want to get at the raw data in my webcam from java, how/where should I start?
[00:41] <oohupursforthepr> i ran it on my computer. someone  should tell them bcause im sure it will happen to someone else when u install systems that have EXACTLY same name you expect advice to be same and everying
[00:42] <rhin0> well  i'd start by googling /dev/video0 libraries / read etc / java
[00:42] <oohupursforthepr> people tend to buy lots of diff mags when they install new operating systems and it advertised itself as bloomin mag manual but there u go dont hold grudges
[00:43] <brig> rhin0: did that, and everything seems to point to cat /dev/video0 but it says I cant do this
[00:43] <wangjian> wangjian@ubuntu:~$  java -version
[00:43] <wangjian> [07:41] <wangjian_> 程序“
[00:43] <brig> rhin0: invalid argument
[00:43] <oohupursforthepr> neway ne ideas as to how to get back to unity from classic or am i stuck now
[00:44] <oohupursforthepr> i know the answer
[00:44] <rhin0> last time I looked at something like this -- was the frambuffer -- some way you could get /dev/fb0 to be used like a file (cat it pipe it etc) -- I reckon /dev/video0 just has to be regarde by the OS in a different way?  brig
[00:44] <rhin0> won't be that simple brig I don't think
[00:44] <wangjian> hello
[00:44] <rhin0> maybe try cp (copy) with it brig? Oo
[00:45] <oohupursforthepr> oh heck oh well gotta go gfriend screaming ha. computer divorce soon ta for now x
[00:45] <wangjian> i have some questions about java

[00:47] <Roasted> When trying to run gksu nautilus I get - Nautilus could not create the frequired folder /root/.config/nautilus. create the following folder or set permissions such that nautilus can create it. Problem is, I cant create it.
[00:47] <Roasted> How can I fix?
[00:47] <Corey> westz_: Yes?
[00:48] <Corey> Roasted: Stop running as root.
[00:48] <Corey> Roasted: Failing that, sudo mkdir -p /root/.config/nautilus
[00:48] <westz_> Corey: did i message you? im just messing with !***
[00:49] <Roasted> Corey, I need to run nautilus as root though because I dont have permission to usr/share/themes
[00:49] <Roasted> I want to install a new theme
[00:50] <westz_> Roasted: install it to ~/.themes instead?
[00:50] <OY1R> dont run nautilus with sudo use gsudo or what ever it's called i dont remember
[00:50] <phux> OY1R: its gksu
[00:50] <Roasted> westz_, I suppose. ist hat best practice? .themes doesnt exist by default in 11.04
[00:50] <OY1R> there it was gksu thanks
[00:50] <Roasted> westz_, none the less I want the ability to use root nautilus....
[00:50] <phux> Roasted: mkdir ~/.themes
[00:50] <westz_> Roasted: odd, its there in 10.04...
[00:51] <Roasted> westz_, yes, but not in 11.04 :(
[00:51] <Roasted> nor is .icons
[00:51] <westz_> create them then
[00:51] <Roasted> westz_, I can. but tha doesnt SOLVE my issue.
[00:51] <Roasted> I should be able to use root nautilus.
[00:51] <phux> Roasted: gksu nautilus in terminal
[00:51] <westz_> why? you risk screwing up a lot of stuff
[00:51] <Roasted> westz_, I work in IT with linux. It's just eaiser sometimes.
[00:51] <westz_> and what phux  said
[00:51] <Roasted> phux, I get an error with that.
[00:52] <phux> me not
[00:52] <phux> tell me the error
[00:52] <Roasted> Nautilus could not create the required folder.
[00:52] <Roasted> /root/.config/nautilus
[00:52] <westz_> odd, it works for me
[00:53] <Roasted> maybe my install is borked. some of my themeing looks weird.
[00:53] <westz_> try gksu gnome-terminal, then run gksu nautilus in that
[00:53] <phux> Roasted: sudo /root/.config/nautilus -p
[00:53] <phux> forgot that mkdir
[00:53] <Roasted> phux, command not found
[00:53] <Roasted> ah
[00:53] <phux> Roasted: sudo mkdir /root/.config/nautilus -p
[00:53] <phux> sorry
[00:53] <Roasted> phux, that fixed it
[00:53] <Roasted> phux, whats with the -p though?
[00:54] <phux> make path to directory, if it doesnt exist
[00:54] <westz_> Roasted: so it creates the .config too
[00:55] <westz_> why am i still westz_ when i've identified for Westz?
[00:56] <phux> actually this wasnt the best way, should have put that -p direct behind mkdir to be able to recall the last argument. just for correct workflow :)
[00:58] <westz_> !ping
[00:58] <westz_> hmm
[01:01] <THIS_IS_INSANE> westz_: 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.
[01:05] <ray24> Hi, I'm having trouble getting QTstalker to draw up stock quotes. I think it may be an update issue
[01:07] <ray24> any help would be great!
[01:10] <captainkrtek_> hi, I installed gnome 3 in ubuntu 11.04 and in the middle of reverting back to gnome 2 I had a kernel panic, then when i booted up again I only got a recovery console. I was able to install the gnome panel but now its not a login option
[01:10] <Muffin-Man> ok, my wife is on my linux box atm, what command from root can i make an xwindow popup on her system remotely? ive tried wall and xmessage to no avail
[01:11] <rhin0> captainkrtek I would guess your system can't run gnome3 your graphics card isn't capable of it?
[01:11] <captainkrtek_> rhin0, well it ran it for a bit, but then had issues
[01:11] <captainkrtek_> I decided I wanted to revert back
[01:11] <rhin0> log in using classic mode -- download all updates all proprietary graphics drivers and try again if you want to
[01:11] <captainkrtek_> I cant login to class mode
[01:11] <captainkrtek_> when I boot I get two options, user defined session and recovery console
[01:12] <rhin0> I don't understand that when you click on the user upon loggin in you should have a menu with desktop selection on it -- one of them being ubuntu classic one being ubuntu classic without effects -- (not using compiz)
[01:12] <captainkrtek_> I dont
[01:13] <captainkrtek_> I just have two options now
[01:13] <captainkrtek_> the rest are gone
[01:13] <rhin0> did you see them initially captainkrtek
[01:13] <captainkrtek_> rhin0 yeah when I had the system running fine
[01:13] <captainkrtek_> after I installed gnome3 some where still there
[01:13] <allure> Hello. I can't access my compactflash card inside my nikon that is connected by USB. I can only use F-Spot but I would like to mount it... >> Bus 002 Device 005: ID 04b0:0425 Nikon Corp.
[01:14] <captainkrtek_> but removing gnome3 got rid of everything
[01:14] <captainkrtek_> :/
[01:14] <rhin0> I would re-install - try to get the classic desktop (no effects) then completely update the system and get all the recommended proprietary graphics card drivers to try again captainkrtek -- which may get it working
[01:15] <captainkrtek_> yeah im trying to reinstall all gnome from synaptic
[01:15] <RD_1542> think i found issue, problem is with networkmanager.state, though can;t edit it from false to true in vi
[01:15] <rhin0> well good luck with that -- would prefer to start with a plain install again myself captainkrtek
[01:16] <captainkrtek_> rhin0: me too but I cant afford that on this machine :/
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> RD_1542: use sudo and you will get full access to the file, you may need to kill network manager
[01:16] <coz_> !netplit
[01:16] <coz_> !netsplit
[01:16] <allure> Hello! I deleted some pictures from my camera (Nikon 300S) but I have to get it back. I know how to recover pictures but my ubuntu won't read my compact flash... does anyone know how to make this work?
[01:16] <RD_1542> how do i kill network manager?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> captainkrtek_: http://www.ajopaul.com/2011/04/26/ubuntu-11-04-uninstall-gnome3-and-revert-to-gnome-2-x/   I found that but haven't used it
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> captainkrtek_: may help you (I'm guessing you used the gnome3 ppa and want to revert)
[01:17] <rhin0> if you know the program name of network manager you can then ps | grep for the pid then type kill -9 pid RD_1542
[01:17] <captainkrtek_> ActionParsnip: I was using that, then halfway through (after the second step) I had a kernel panic, then when I rebooted all I had was a recovery console
[01:18] <slack-m> 35-2 betty
[01:18] <captainkrtek_> ActionParsnip: I then continued, removed it, and installed gnome panel, but its still not working 100%
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> allure: you may be able to use scalpel or foremost to recover data if the drive can be accessed
[01:18] <slack-m> wrong window
[01:18] <RD_1542> i am nt sure of the name rhin0,

[01:40] <YankDownUnder> Yes, driver updates can break your Xorg - however, follow the instructions I gave you, reconfigure your Xorg, and you're all set mate.

[01:41] <PythonSnake> o.o
[01:41] <em> PythonSnake: 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.

[02:11] <ActionParsnip> BrianCelery: anything in what way?
[02:11] <edbian> BrianCelery: It's broken now
[02:11] <edbian> ?
[02:11] <BrianCelery> ActionParsnip: A smaller ISO of another distro.
[02:11] <BrianCelery> edbian: correct.
[02:11] <edbian> BrianCelery: Did you create a liveUSB and you just can't get it to boot?
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> BrianCelery: as long as it can do what you need, sure why not
[02:12] <BrianCelery> edbian: a while ago. That was my first idea for solving the issue.
[02:12] <edbian> BrianCelery: Can you boot Ubuntu on the external right now?
[02:12] <BrianCelery> ActionParsnip: 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] <ActionParsnip> BrianCelery: makes sense
[02:12] <aTypical> ActionParsnip, yeah, one second please.  I have to switch over to that workstation

[02:13] <PythonSnake> Is GNOME 3 good
[02:13] <BrianCelery> But... If I do reboot and it doesn't work, I'm euchred.
[02:13] <edbian> BrianCelery: 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 internal
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> PythonSnake: good is subjective to opinion. It however is not stable

[02:15] <BrianCelery> So 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 error
[02:15] <edbian> BrianCelery: Ahhh, so you can boot windows or linux but you must have the external plugged in.  Is that it?
[02:15] <BrianCelery> Yes.
[02:16] <edbian> BrianCelery: Which drive is /dev/sda  ?
[02:16] <edbian> BrianCelery: is that the internal?  (probably)
[02:16] <BrianCelery> And 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] <BrianCelery> I 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] <BrianCelery> Because if I get into Ubuntu we can fix it from there, can we not?
[02:17] <BrianCelery> (Macbook == second computer) so I can stay on IRC while we fix this one
[02:17] <edbian> BrianCelery: I'm confused about which machine is which and what the partitions are on the target machine.

[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, cause that's all I want
[02:21] <m_fulder> can I somehow run a command with an anti-sudo
[02:21] <m_fulder> ?
[02:21] <Corey> iceroot: There's a PM though.
[02:21] <Corey> iceroot: I'm vaguely aware of how ubottu works. ;-)
[02:21] <KM0201> Roasted: yes, i can see them, but i cannot play them
[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, my problem is, mine doesnt even mount. It just errors out
[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, can you format these things?
[02:21] <iceroot> [03:20]     Corey | Note the lack of factoid.
[02:21] <KM0201> Roasted: not to work w/ Linux.
[02:21] <Corey> iceroot: Yes.  Lack.  Not lag.
[02:21] <iceroot> Corey: ok
[02:21] <PythonSnake> Where is Synaptics on gnome  2 ?
[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, no, format as in, return to factory settings
[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, this zune was my gf's, so it has all her stuff on it.
[02:22] <Roasted> I figured I could do it in banshee or something.
[02:22] <KM0201> Roasted: umm.. i think you need zune marketplace to do that
[02:22] <BrianCelery> edbian: Good to go
[02:22] <KM0201> Roasted: unfortunately not
[02:22] <edbian> BrianCelery: hi
[02:22] <Roasted> KM0201, can I add/remove music as I wish on these things or do I need to use the marketplace entirely for that?
[02:22] <KM0201> i take it you don't have windows at all?
[02:22] <BrianCelery> edbian: okay, so the external still boots to grub
[02:22] <PythonSnake> please
[02:22] <aTypical> Did I lose you ActionParsnip ?
[02:22] <PythonSnake> I got to go soon
[02:22] <Roasted> KM0201, I do, I just dont have enough space to put music on it to sync like that.
[02:22] <KM0201> Roasted: the only way to sync a zune, is to use Zune Marketplace (it can be music you've gotten from other places, thats just the name of the software)
[02:23] <BrianCelery> does that mean I should just boot to recovery environment and fixmbr? Or are we going to rebuild grub
[02:23] <PythonSnake> Where is synaptic..
[02:23] <crazybrain> ActionParsnip: how to install intel 945g
[02:23] <Corey> PythonSnake: We shall be here when you get back.
[02:23] <Roasted> KM0201, then I think I'll give this back to my girlfriend. :P
[02:23] <crazybrain> ?
[02:23] <Roasted> and get a REAL music player.
[02:23] <Corey> !synaptic | PythonSnake
[02:23] <crazybrain> in ubuntu 10.04
[02:23] <edbian> BrianCelery: BrianCelery So the internal hdd only has windows on it?
[02:23] <edbian> BrianCelery: Was Ubuntu on that hdd at one time?
[02:23] <BrianCelery> edbian: correct
[02:23] <BrianCelery> No.
[02:23] <KM0201> Roasted: can you put XP in vbox, then keep your music on the "host" OS, and sync the Zune in the Guest OS, off the host drive? (thats what i do)
[02:23] <PythonSnake> Thanks ubottu :)
[02:23] <Roasted> KM0201, no offense, but no.
[02:23] <TrD> hi all
[02:23] <Roasted> KM0201, it either works in Linux, or I don't use it.
[02:24] <KM0201> Roasted: ok.. well, you'll get no joy there.. for sure.
[02:24] <Roasted> If a company is going to be naive and/or self righteous enough not to support Linux, then I won't support them. Even if it is a free gift from my lady friend.
[02:24] <BrianCelery> edbian: I'm logged into Ubuntu.
[02:24] <edbian> BrianCelery: Grub doesn't git in the MBR.  part of it goes there and the other part goes in /boot/grub.  I think /boot/grub is on the second hdd but grub is on the internal hdd MBR.
[02:24] <TrD> is psad compatible with Ubuntu natty ?
[02:24] <Roasted> However, this thing is acting weird. I almost wonder if the hard drive is okay in it.
[02:24] <Corey> Roasted: This is a support channel, not an advocacy channel.  Please take it elsewhere.
[02:24] <BrianCelery> edbian: how to verify?
[02:24] <Corey> Roasted: Zune isn't supported here at all.  Try another channel?
[02:24] <Roasted> Corey, no thanks.
[02:24] <edbian> BrianCelery: which is the internal drive?  /dev/sda or /dev/sdb  ?
[02:24] <Roasted> Corey, no thanks.
[02:24] <KM0201> Roasted: i dunno.. i got a great deal on an 80gig zune a few years ago, and i love it.
[02:24] <AlphaPsi> How big should a swamp partition be?
[02:24] <KM0201> its been flawless for me
[02:25] <BrianCelery> edbian: I should be using grep to find that out?
[02:25] <Roasted> KM0201, It's just weird, some google results are returning some users having success. Weird.
[02:25] <edbian> BrianCelery: sudo fdisk -l
[02:25] <edbian> BrianCelery: :)
[02:25] <Corey> Roasted: Again, it's unsupported here.
[02:25] <Roasted> KM0201, it sounds entirely hit/miss, though. You have to wonder if playlists even work, etc.
[02:25] <KM0201> Roasted: i guarantee you, nobody has had success syncing it under Linux, guarantee...
[02:25] <KM0201> Roasted: only way to et it to work under Linux, is w/ a virtual OS...
[02:25] <Roasted> KM0201, well you at least had success mounting it. I did not. :P
[02:25] <AlphaPsi> How big should a swap partition be?**
[02:26] <Roasted> KM0201, do you know of any Linux-friendly devices that are like an ipod/zune?
[02:26] <KM0201> Roasted: yeah.. :) (and honestly, i'd never gotten that far before..)
[02:26] <BrianCelery> edbian: sda is internal, sdb is external
[02:26] <Roasted> KM0201, learn something new then, eh? :P
[02:26] <Corey> !ipod | Roasted
[02:26] <ChaosSaber> AlphaPsi, atleast 2GB
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, I got it. Thanks.
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, that didn't help, but thanks.
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, I was asking for something LIKE an ipod, not an ipod.
[02:26] <KM0201> Roasted: 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] <AlphaPsi> What do you mean by at least?
[02:26] <Corey> Roasted: You just asked for something ipod like that works.  How is an ipod not useful? :-)
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, it's made by Apple. Self explanatory there.
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, but thanks.
[02:27] <ChaosSaber> AlphaPsi, you can make it any size you want but nothing under 2GB
[02:27] <Corey> Roasted: Go check out Rockbox then?
[02:27] <Corey> Surely they have an HCL.
[02:27] <Roasted> KM0201, I never heard of archos... hmm...
[02:27] <Roasted> Corey, I have RockBox on my Sansa. I wasn't too sure how much I liked it.
[02:27] <AlphaPsi> ChaosSaber: I got that, haha, but how big do people usually do them? 2gb? or more?
[02:27] <Roasted> Corey, 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] <Roasted> Corey, I just want a half decent feature packed device that can sync music without a hassle.
[02:27] <edbian> BrianCelery: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=internalMBR bs=512 count=1
[02:28] <ChaosSaber> AlphaPsi, it really just depends on the person, I have mine at 2.5GB
[02:28] <edbian> BrianCelery: Then file internalMBR
[02:28] <Corey> Roasted: You're going to have some kind of hassle no matter what you pick, unfortunately.
[02:28] <edbian> BrianCelery: The first command reads the bytes from the MBR, the second translates them to human readable form and prints to the screen
[02:28] <KM0201> Roasted: unfortunatley corey is right there
[02:28] <edbian> BrianCelery: It will tell you if you have grub installed on that hdd or not
[02:28] <Roasted> KM0201, this saddens me :(
[02:29] <KM0201> Roasted: yep.. ..
[02:29] <Roasted> I wonder if I can get this Sansa back to factory settings without rockbox... off to therockbox chat...
[02:29] <KM0201> lol
[02:29] <Roasted> I just hope I can get back the default user interface...
[02:29] <PythonSnake> I've got a problem I was downloading wine with software center system froze and i reboot now it won't download anymore but it install..
[02:30] <PythonSnake> so how to fix that?
[02:30] <BrianCelery> edbian: so how to I tell?
[02:30] <edbian> BrianCelery: Read it using file.  Does it say 'Grand Unified Bootloader?'
[02:31] <edbian> BrianCelery: I have to go.  There are other people here :)
[02:31] <DrDuck> How can I find out what the standard for tabstops are in the Ubuntu terminal?
[02:31] <BrianCelery> But no, it doesnt say that
[02:33] <pie__> does anyone have a logitech.xml file in   /etc/udev/data/046d/logitech.xml
[02:33] <hylian> i hate xterm but want to be able to log in to just a terminal window, any way i can log into gnome-terminal?
[02:33] <pie__> I need it for uvcdynctrl so I can get my webcams pan/tilt working >.>
[02:34] <Joe123> #c
[02:35] <chaddy> hylian: openbox is close to that
[02:35] <wechat> Hello. What is the price in english-speking countries of used IBM Thinkpad on which I could install linux?
[02:35] <PythonSnake> Bye guys
[02:35] <PythonSnake> Thanks for the help !!!
[02:36] <hylian> chaddy, i would like to use what is already on the system, i am familiar with gnome-terminal, not so much openbox.
[02:36] <crazybrain> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  what does that mean???
[02:37] <ZykoticK9> crazybrain, did you try running "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in a terminal?  it means something isn't configured properly.
[02:38] <chaddy> hylian: I could be wrong, but isn't it in your login menu?
[02:38] <BrianCelery> ActionParsnip: were you following/ are you available/ need a recap?
[02:38] <hylian> chaddy, it is now because i just sudo apt-get install'd openbox. openbox does not come with ubuntu vanilla.
[02:39] <chaddy> must have been on the verge of sleep when I snuck that one past myself, then ;)
[02:39] <hylian> chaddy, 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] <ZykoticK9> hylian, FYI openbox is a windows manager.  Why do you want only a terminal?
[02:40] <chaddy> hylian: configure openbox to open a terminal
[02:40] <cpgo> Which 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/bottom
[02:40] <chaddy> gnome-terminal he wants, ZykoticK9
[02:40] <hylian> ZykoticK9, 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-terminal
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> hylian, buy WHY do you want only a terminal?
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> s/buy/but/
[02:40] <chaddy> and an xserver, presumably
[02:41] <hylian> chaddy, 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 though
[02:42] <hylian> ZykoticK9, well, i do a  lot of stuff cli, but now and again i use an x app, like xlinks.
[02:42] <chaddy> ctrl + alt F1-F6
[02:42] <DriversFixed> Can someone explain how to mute a sound source
[02:42] <chaddy> hylian: you can't get away from the fact that gnome-terminal needs an x server
[02:42] <hylian> chaddy, no. ctrl-alt f1 through f6 has no x draw capability. thanks for the idea though!
[02:42] <hylian> chaddy, exactly. I do want x running.
[02:43] <chaddy> hmm, cross purposes
[02:43] <chaddy> so you want a bare x session, but instead of xterm, gnome-terminal?
[02:44] <hylian> so 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] <RD_1542> am fighting a network manager issue, changes to false on shutdown, think this time because of power failure, is it easier to disable network manager, and configure manually in etc interfaces file ?
[02:44] <DriversFixed> How do I mute a sound source
[02:44] <hylian> chaddy, exactly!
[02:44] <trism> hylian: 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 that
[02:45] <hylian> trism, i want to run x. please read the entire stream, thank you.
[02:45] <trism> hylian: oh sorry, I misread that
[02:46] <hylian> trism, great idea! i think i'll try that!
[02:46] <hylian> ok y'all, brb, perhaps loggin into gnome-terminal!
[02:47] <DriversFixed> How do I mute a sound source?  The nonexistence of an obvious utility to mute a sound source makes Ubuntu nearly unusable for me and is inexcusable
[02:49] <DriversFixed> Bah good day.  http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25140/ suggests that one does not exist.
[02:49] <OerHeks> DriversFixed, open terminal: alsamixer, then use m for mute
[02:49] <rhin0> driversfixed alsamixer from a terminal gives  you complete control over sound
[02:50] <OerHeks> jups
[02:50] <smsfail> whats the best email client for ubunutu?
[02:50] <DriversFixed> How do I mute an application
[02:50] <DriversFixed> Without muting everything
[02:50] <KM0201> !best | smsfail
[02:50] <rhin0> if the application has its own volume control -- that is down to the application
[02:50] <DriversFixed> rhin0 - what if the application does not, or if it's broken
[02:51] <rhin0> for isntance mplayer has its own volume control -- you can mute mplayer and still have firefox etc playing sound
[02:51] <DriversFixed> well, aside from mplayer, what should I do
[02:52] <root> peace
[02:52] <OerHeks> you could make a short key Volume mute
[02:52] <KM0201> !rootirc | root
[02:53] <DriversFixed> OerHeks:  How do I do that for a given application?
[02:53] <Guest95428> not if using read-only live cd isn't it?
[02:54] <OerHeks> if the application has no mute, only mute left is systemwide
[02:54] <KM0201> Guest95428: still not the best of ideas.. but i see your point.
[02:54] <DriversFixed> OerHeks:  So basically you're saying that this basic functionality does not exist in Ubuntu.
[02:55] <bk_> can someone tell me if there is a size limit to a tar.gz file?  I got this message,
[02:55] <bk_> gzip: stdout: File too large
[02:55] <bk_> tar: /media/ULTRA TD/06.27.11.tar.gz: Wrote only 8192 of 10240 bytes
[02:55] <bk_> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[02:55] <dr_willis> its a function of the pulse audio sound system. not all programs support pulse audio fully.
[02:55] <hoopyfreud> is halp to be found here?
[02:55] <OerHeks> DriversFixed, no that is not what i am saying.
[02:56] <OerHeks> open alsamixer, and you can mute
[02:56] <rhin0> bk_ I think it means too large for the device you are writing it onto -- /media/ultra td -- is that a usb key (or something)
[02:56] <DriversFixed> I don't see anything but a system-wide mute in alsamixer
[02:56] <rhin0> need to write it onto your hard disk bk_
[02:56] <rhin0> yes driversfixed -- alsamixer just gives you more controls -- won't mute your application
[02:56] <bk_> rhin0, it's an external hard drive.  it says it still has 37 GB of freespace, which should have been more than enough.
[02:57] <DriversFixed> So.... I should go to windows then.
[02:57] <rhin0> driversfixed I am sure there is a way of doing it -- just that nobody here knows -- keep asking or research it using google or on ubuntu forums
[02:58] <dr_willis> Pulse Audio does has perapp volume control. - if the apps are written to use pulse audio i belive.
[02:58] <ZykoticK9> rhin0, FYI it's not possible with ALSA but it's "slightly" possible with Pulse
[02:58] <hoopyfreud> Mangler won;t install on 11.04... help! Repo cannot be added... terminal gives message "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mangler/mangler

[03:08] <ivanBliminse> Hello IRC... does anyone know if in unity you can have a stack apps in the launcher??
[03:08] <DriversFixed> ZykoticK9:  Which appears to be why it doesn't work anymore:  the only sound source it sees is "ALSA Plugin"
[03:09] <ivanBliminse> Or does anyone know how to keep every application from opening fully maximized in unity?
[03:11] <ivanBliminse> Or how if you running 11.04 in virtual box in full screen mode how to get the bottom VB menu to not go away...

[03:14] <ivanBliminse> BrianCLerey: you want to disable ubuntu from sleeping so your external hardrive doesn't shut off?
[03:14] <hoopyfreud> just go to power options in preferences

[03:15] <kaStevie> Hello everyone :), just wanted to check that #ayatana is the right place to ask questions about the software center?

[03:15] <hoopyfreud> can anyone help me install Mangler in11.04?
[03:16] <ZykoticK9> kaStevie, is it a "support" question?  If so, you should be asking here.
[03:16] <kaStevie> nope, I was looking for the design research on the software center
[03:16] <ZykoticK9> kaStevie, then I have no idea.  Good luck.
[03:16] <ivanBliminse> Does anyone know how to keep applications from opening up fully maximized in unity?

[03:28] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: if all you do is email and word process then no
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> Jora: please don't paste that here
[03:29] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, Here you go.  http://pastebin.com/9Qi4debz
[03:29] <Jora> wrong window sorry
[03:29] <alex86> is seems that there are a lot of work to get LAMP to live: http://www.lamphowto.com/
[03:29] <alex86> *life
[03:30] <ZykoticK9> Habeeb, what problem are you having with Adobe Flash?
[03:30] <lapaga> ActionParsnip, well this is a very low ram system (256M) was wondering if a more current video card would take off the slack.  not I never email or use it for word process
[03:30] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, My issue is that on certain websites such as Gametrailers.com, all flash content has these grey flickering areas
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin64-installer
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: if you want to run compiz and junk then it will make it smoother, I'd go for more RAM, it will make a bigger difference
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: gives 64bit flash for your 64bit OS
[03:31] <lapaga> ActionParsnip, so would I but new ram for this would cost much more than a new video card.  RambusRam is very expensive
[03:32] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, I thought 64bit flash for linux was terrible.
[03:32] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, oh wow, that fixed it.
[03:33] <hylian> trism: this is working perfect! :)
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: oh jeez I thought that stuff died out properly
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: no it s sweeeeeet
[03:34] <AlphaPsi> What are the benefits of having a /home partition?
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: theres a ppa with 64bit java, no need for nspluginwrapper :)
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: backups are easier and if you reinstall you can simply mark the root partition for formatting and your user data will be untouched
[03:35] <uabn93> hello, is there a way to hide files between separate users accounts?
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: do you mean not even allow them to see the filenames etc?
[03:35] <AlphaPsi> userdata as in wordfiles, music, etc.? Does it also include programs?
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: just settings and photos etc, anything which is in your home folder currently#
[03:36] <lapaga> ActionParsnip, yes it did but my computer did not:) oh well...will wait until my vacation checks come in
[03:36] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, Thanks again.
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: that stuff is real pricey, damn
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: np :)
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: 105 GBP for 1Gb 400Mhz RAMBUS, that's not steep. It's vertical
[03:38] <AlphaPsi> The root and home partitions are Ext4 right?
[03:38] <trism> hylian: glad to hear it
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: by default yes, but you can change them if you use custome partitioning
[03:38] <AlphaPsi> What are the differences from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, etc.?
[03:38] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: yes. Can a limited user account see the files of an admin account?
[03:39] <lapaga> ActionParsnip, yup and that is not actually making sure it will work...just the price of hoping someone will send you the right one.  Well guess I can wait to get a new computer
[03:39] <ZykoticK9> AlphaPsi, ext2 didn't use journalling
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: by default, yes. If you set the group and other access to zero then ONLY the owning user will have any access :)
[03:40] <ZykoticK9> uabn93, FYI by default all Ubuntu users' home directories are READABLE by anyone -- this default is uncommon in the gnu/linux distro world.
[03:41] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: ahhh. that was simple. thanks for the help, buddy
[03:41] <uabn93> ZykoticK9: good to know. thank you
[03:43] <subimage> anyone know why after installing 11.04 from USB without downloading packages or 3rd party tools I can't get the GUI to boot?
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: np man
[03:43] <fathom_> greetings all, I am trying to install Ubuntu onto an IBM thinkpad and the thing will not boot off the install disc. I set the boot device priority as DVD, but it still will not. Any ideas?
[03:43] <AlphaPsi> When 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?
[03:43] <roasted__> Where sould Chromium's font preferences be stored at? The text in the tabs seem to be a little weird to me.
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> subimage: what video chip do you use?
[03:43] <TrevInc> subimage: are you hanging at the ubuntu logo screen?
[03:44] <subimage> i can get to terminal fine if i alt-ctrl-f1 but if i just let it boot my monitor gets no signal. this is on an ati radeon 5xxx
[03:44] <subimage> i think its a 5670
[03:44] <subimage> 5760...somethin like that
[03:44] <TrevInc> That's odd.
[03:44] <TrevInc> does the 5670 have multiple outputs?
[03:44] <subimage> yeah
[03:45] <subimage> like i see it begin to go through its little dot splash screen
[03:45] <TrevInc> are you connected to the DVI output?
[03:45] <subimage> then the monitor just loses...and yes dvi
[03:45] <subimage> like i said, i can see terminal on same output just fine
[03:45] <subimage> is it because 11.04 is "beta" or is that just a fluke?
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> subimage: try the boot option: nomodeset
[03:45] <TrevInc> ^
[03:45] <TrevInc> tihs
[03:45] <subimage> ActionParsnip: how do i do that?
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> subimage: 11.04 isn't beta, its released and stable
[03:46] <subimage> ActionParsnip: ok
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | subimage
[03:46] <subimage> !nomodeset
[03:47] <lapaga> chrome://settings/fonts
[03:47] <subimage> ActionParsnip: is that "safe graphics mode" then?
[03:47] <josh__> what up peoples
[03:47] <subimage> nmind /me reads forum
[03:49] <hoopyfreud> so whoknows how to destroy the nasty pink grub background in 11.04? I dint want a picture, just the old black/white color scheme
[03:50] <morth> hello
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> subimage: it will give you a deskto, you  can then install updates and/or the ati proprietary driver if you wish which should then fix things
[03:50] <Janos__> irc.perl.org
[03:50] <josh__> so i just put ubunto on my comp this weekend :D
[03:50] <josh__> i think im lovin' it!
[03:50] <morth> me too hehe
[03:51] <morth> guys, i have a problem.
[03:51] <hoopyfreud> orly?
[03:51] <AlphaPsi> When 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] <ZykoticK9> hoopyfreud, if it's really Grub you are talking about check /etc/default/grub -- you need to run "sudo update-grub2" if you make any changes
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> hoopyfreud: has some insight into how colours are set: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-1243.html
[03:51] <morth> /dev/loop0 says available 14.4gb and /dev/sda3 (/host) shows 51.7gb
[03:51] <morth> how do i make it so i can use that 51gb?
[03:52] <hoopyfreud> in my grub.cfg file, the colors are still black/white, but it appears pink on boot
[03:52] <morth> because when im trying to install my game it says im running out of space
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> hoopyfreud: you dont touch grub.cfg
[03:52] <ZykoticK9> hoopyfreud, did this start after you install a propritary graphics driver?
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> morth: run:  ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files             and you can save stuff on your NTFS partition
[03:53] <hoopyfreud> nope it seems to be the default on 11.04
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> hoopyfreud: to edit grub you change its files, then run: sudo update-grub    this generates grub.cfg
[03:54] <ZykoticK9> hoopyfreud, yet another reason 11.04 has caused Ubuntu to drop from the #1 spot on distrowatch ;)
[03:54] <hoopyfreud> yes, I know i have looked at grub.cfg and it says the colors are black and white
[03:55] <josh__> is there a specific room for specific apps?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> morth: run the command I gave in a terminal and you will get a new folder in $HOME  when you save stuff in there it will go onto your NTFS files
[03:55] <josh__> i.e., Sribus?
[03:55] <morth> okay so i just open terminal and do  ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files and it'll work?
[03:55] <morth> kk
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> josh__: sure, try #scribus    I gues you typo'd
[03:56] <josh__> gracias
[03:56] <josh__> yeah i typoed sorry
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> grub.cfg DOES contain the lines
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> "
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> set menu_color_normal=white/black
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> if background_color 44,0,30; then
[03:56] <hoopyfreud>   clear
[03:56] <FloodBot1> hoopyfreud: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:56] <needwifi> hello, i'm my wireless isn't working. i see "wireless is disabled by hardware switch"
[03:57] <TrevInc> needwifi: press the wireless button/toggle switch. Have a nice day!
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> needwifi: do you have a switch or shortcut to turn wifi off and on?
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> needwifi, does you laptop have a Wireless hot-key combination, perhaps with a FN key?  If so, turn it on.
[03:57] <kevin> hey 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] <hoopyfreud> needwifi: if that doesnt work, sudo rfkill unblock all
[03:57] <morth> ActionParsnip i just typed in " ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files" and it didn't do anything.. atleast i dont think it did
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> morth: open your home folder ;)
[03:58] <needwifi> i'm not sure if there is a hot-key combination with the fn key. my computer's switch doesn't change from orange (off) to blue (on)
[03:58] <hoopyfreud> use sudo rfkill unblock all...
[03:58] <needwifi> didn't do anything
[03:58] <hoopyfreud> unless its n actual switch on the side of your machine it should
[03:58]  * ActionParsnip hates those stupid switches when they don't work 
[03:59] <needwifi> it is an actual switch
[03:59] <hoopyfreud> then flip it to on
[03:59] <morth> okay noob question what did that do?
[03:59] <hoopyfreud> derp
[03:59] <morth> it shows Windows files now
[03:59] <needwifi> but it doesn't do anything
[03:59] <TrevInc> needwifi: something in your BIOS settings might be to blame
[03:59] <needwifi> it stays orange
[03:59] <morth> well the folder atleast
[03:59] <needwifi> trevinc: how can i tell?
[04:00] <morth> Actionparsnip okay so this allows me to put files into that folder using that leftover space i wanted to use?
[04:00] <rhin0> needwifi its a switch on your machine -- hardware switch means just that -- either a mechanical switch or a keyboard function key/wireless key
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> morth: 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 data
[04:01] <needwifi> rhin0, the mechanical switch isn't working
[04:01] <rhin0> to manually disable your wireless completely from the machine -- (without ubuntu)
[04:01] <TrevInc> needwifi: I guess hard restart your machine and hold the BIOS setup button and then look through your switches to see if anything mentions wifi
[04:01] <rhin0> you broke the switch needwifi?
[04:01] <needwifi> rhin0, haha it just stays orange
[04:01] <josh__> You broke it!?!? Oh godz
[04:01] <morth> ActionParsnip 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.. :s
[04:01] <needwifi> trevinc, i'll try that an i'll be back
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> morth: you can also write data there too so you can save your goat porn/justin beiber MP3s/glee episodes to your windows files and use that space
[04:01] <TrevInc> needwifi, good luck
[04:01] <rhin0> on some laptops its a function key and the wilress symbol   *)))
[04:01] <needwifi> thank you
[04:02] <rhin0> to enable it needwifi
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> morth: games will not work, you will need to install them in wine
[04:02] <needwifi> rhin0, mine doesn't have the fn key combination, as far as i know, i'm going into the bios to check it out
[04:02] <morth> ActionParsnip sweet, because i have alot of goatporn.
[04:02] <hoopyfreud> oooh me too
[04:02] <Guest15850> hello~
[04:02] <hoopyfreud> it reminds me of my mother
[04:03] <morth> ActionParsnip well how can i install games with/to wine?
[04:03] <morth> ActionParsnip i can just use the folder we've created?
[04:03] <hoopyfreud> depends on your system
[04:04] <roasted__> Where sould Chromium's font preferences be stored at? The text in the tabs seem to be a little weird to me.
[04:05] <lapaga> Roasted, chrome://settings/fonts
[04:06] <needwifi_> i went into bios and restored everything to factory defaults and it's working now
[04:06] <needwifi_> thanks for the help
[04:11] <bsmith093> how do i make gwibber show tweets from people im following as notification bubbles, like everything else in gnome
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> morth: you will need to run the installer, then more the ~/.wine folder to the ntfs partition, the symlink the .wine folder so that it looks like it is stored in the original place but its merely a link
[04:14] <phlux> What is the program that lets you choose what ISP you're using for 3G/4G wifi cards? Is it just an Ubuntu thing, or can I use it on my Arch system?
[04:15] <ubun> can you connect a game controller to play the snes emulator? (zsnes)
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> ubun: sure
[04:17] <hoopyfreud> anyone happen to know where chrome extensions are stored in ubuntu?
[04:19] <ubun> ActionParsnip, any controller from walmart? or is there a specific brand thats supported?
[04:24] <pie_> I someow got my logitech webcam working with uvcdynctrl and cheese but i can only use  one or the other and after i do i have to reload the uvcvideo kernel module if i want to switch
[04:24] <pie_> I would like to be able to change the pan/tilt and view the video at the same time
[04:25] <madprops> whats the name of the volume slider applet?
[04:28] <^Mike> when I do `sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser`, it doesn't actually change the browser that opens when I click links in documents etc - what am I doing wrong?
[04:28] <CarlFK> how can I set the wallpaper with a script ?
[04:29] <BlackFlag> how to select text on console without a mouse?
[04:30] <Coded1> hello all
[04:31] <CarlFK> BlackFlag: looks like Edit/Select All is all you can do
[04:31] <pocoyo> BlackFlag: try emacs shell.
[04:33] <robin0800> CarlFK: look at crebs perhaps
[04:34] <BlackFlag> I am using console by tty1, and i am without "/" on keyboard, so i want to copy and past it
[04:35] <dominick> Hey there - I am getting very poor performance out of a network card I just installed and looking for help
[04:35] <morth> ActionParsnip i have got it working thank you, i just copied my Game folder into the folder we've created it booted up properly im running around ingame zero lag.
[04:36] <dominick> Is compatability an issue? I used Windows Wireless Drivers to install the Windows XP driver but it's still slow
[04:36] <dominick> Should I try Vista version or Windows 7? Thanks for your time.
[04:37] <morth> i would say use Win7 over vista anyday.
[04:37] <morth> but i mean thats my personal opinion
[04:37] <ChaosSaber> dominick, I have been useing Win7 since the beta days and I have never had a prob with it
[04:38] <dominick> Ok I'll try it
[04:38] <dominick> Thanks for the response
[04:38] <ChaosSaber> dominick, np
[04:38] <arooni-mobile> how do i change the keyboard shortcut for the workspace switcher on unity?  i've already gone to keyboard shortcuts but i dont see an option
[04:41] <escott> dominick, are you saying you are using ndis wrapper
[04:41] <dominick> yes escott
[04:42] <OerHeks> arooni-mobile, itś located in ccsm , unity tab
[04:44] <escott> dominick, i would expect lower performance with ndiswrapper, as it is not a native driver. i cant say how substantial that performance impact would be
[04:44] <arooni-mobile> OerHeks, thats only for the launcher.  id like to leave the launcher starter as it is
[04:44] <dominick> Is that right escott? Is there a better way to do this?
[04:45] <dominick> About to load up Win 7 driver .inf to see if any difference
[04:45] <kaw_> Hi there
[04:45] <dominick> hmmmm, it's say they're all the same
[04:45] <dominick> that's not good
[04:46] <escott> dominick, (a) according to wikipedia you cannot use anything but win xp .inf files (and maybe some vista) (b) see if your hardware is supported by a native driver/try different hardware
[04:46] <dominick> got it escott, will do
[04:46] <robin0800> dominick: are you sure there is no linux driver for your nic?
[04:47] <kaw_> Can someone tell me whats the difference between ubuntu AMD and i386
[04:47] <dominick> Unfortunately, there are only drivers for Windows XP, Vista and 7 on their site robin0800 :(
[04:47] <kaw_> i have an core i7 in this deskto
[04:47] <kaw_> and im using ubuntu AMD
[04:47] <coolpyrofreak> dominick: Which nic do you have?
[04:47] <escott> kaw_, amd64 is for 64bit processors like yours
[04:47] <cpruitt> I hate to ask what might be a completely annoying questions but can anyone point me to any really comprehensive info on Ubuntu disk quotas and how to identify a problem?  quotacheck -avugm is returning "quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option."  - I'm still way too new to understand the problem, I just know it's preventing me from using a took I'm trying to set up for our web serve
[04:47] <cpruitt> (virtualmin)
[04:47] <cpruitt> It's a physical server, not a VPS
[04:47] <dominick> encore electronics enlwi-nx2
[04:47] <robin0800> dominick: what nic is it?
[04:48] <kouche_> hi there
[04:48] <coolpyrofreak> dominick: paste your lspci output please
[04:48] <dominick> Got it after reading a review from someone who said it worked with their linux system
[04:48] <kouche_> i have an inspiration 4600
[04:49] <dominick> what is lspci output coolpyrofreak?
[04:49] <Polah> kaw_: That's just the name of the ISO to designate 32 or 64-bit, 32-bit is i386, 64-bit is amd64.
[04:49] <dominick> sorry
[04:49] <kouche_> and wireless won't work
[04:49] <coolpyrofreak> dominick: Open your terminal and type lspci.  then copy the output, go to pastie.org and paste it there.  then post the link in here
[04:49] <escott> dominick, open a terminal and type "lspci" then copy and paste that into paste.ubuntu.com
[04:49] <dominick> ok cool
[04:49] <kouche_> I Used this manuall
[04:49] <kouche_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers
[04:50] <kouche_> But nothing changed
[04:50] <pie_> http://senorgif.memebase.com/2011/06/22/funny-gifs-truck-service-fail/
[04:50] <pie_> oops wrong chan
[04:50] <kaw_> Polah: Thanks
[04:50] <kouche_> any idea?
[04:50] <kaw_> LOL
[04:51] <kaw_> i have the same problem im trying to install RT2870
[04:51] <dominick> http://paste.ubuntu.com/633998/
[04:51] <kaw_> poor support on USB adapters really
[04:51] <escott> cpruitt, don't know anything about quotas but check that the partition is mounted with the quotas turned on
[04:51] <kaw_> they should include it in the build
[04:52] <cpruitt> escott: Sounds great.  Any quick tip on how to do that?  LOL  Not trying to skip a google search but it's late and I've pressed the "search" button way too many times tonight...  lol
[04:52] <pappa_bear> lawl
[04:52] <escott> cpruitt, run "mount" in a terminal it will show mount options
[04:52] <escott> dominick, your network card is nforce2
[04:52] <kouche_> No one can help me?
[04:52] <dominick> that's one of the on board nics
[04:52] <escott> dominick, you also have a realtek 8190
[04:52] <cpruitt> escott: Pretty much just echos my fstab info: /dev/mapper/linhost01-root on / type xfs (rw,grpquota,usrquota)
[04:53] <dominick> there's a 3com too I believe
[04:53] <dominick> those are not wireless though
[04:53] <coolpyrofreak> dominick:   Wireless card is the Realtek 8190.  Wired is The 3Com card.
[04:53] <escott> dominick, yes there is a 3com
[04:53] <dominick> oh?
[04:54] <dominick> realtek 8190... I think that was one of those plug in usb wireless nic things that I don't currently have with me
[04:54] <coolpyrofreak> dominick: no, lspci lists motherboard hardware
[04:54] <dominick> wow no kidding coolpyrofreak
[04:55] <dominick> so what should I do from here?
[04:55] <dominick> I had no idea I had a wireless nic.. wtf
[04:55] <rhin0> anyone know a quick fix to somehow speed up ssh?
[04:55] <escott> kouche_, what does rfkill list outpu
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> dominick: sudo lshw -C network    will show the network hardware and you can websearch for the product line to find guides
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> dominick: if you want wireless to work you may find its just disabled by hotkey / switch
[04:56] <dominick> hmmmm wow
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> dominick: rfkill list   will show the devices and their states with bering 'blocked' by switches etc
[04:58] <dominick> okay ActionParsnip plugging those commands into terminal now
[04:58] <kouche_> escott
[04:58] <kouche_> ‫1: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN

[05:00] <escott> kouche_, thats the problem it is hard blocked meaning a hardware switch is turned off
[05:00] <escott> kouche_, sorry rather it is soft blocked
[05:00] <escott> kouche_, try rfkill unblock 1
[05:01] <escott> kouche_, or rfkill unblock all
[05:01] <escott> ChaosSaber, dual boot or use a vm
[05:01] <dominick> here's what i got actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634004/
[05:02] <ChaosSaber> escott, thanks, I dual with 7 but was just wondering
[05:02] <Nobgul-bnc> What does netflix use silverlight?
[05:02] <kla> Nobgul-bnc, yes
[05:02] <kouche_> escott I did it before
[05:02] <kouche_> but nothing
[05:03] <dominick> Any thoughts ActionParsnip? On http://paste.ubuntu.com/634004/
[05:05] <Polah> Nobgul-bnc, have you tried Moonlight? http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight
[05:06] <Nobgul-bnc> Polah, I have not. I was just about to ask if there is a silverlight alt. but im stuffing my face. Thank you for th elink
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> dominick: so it's the 3com you want working?
[05:07] <dominick> it's the encore I'm currently using (as far as I know)
[05:07] <dominick> but is ridiculously slow
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> dominick: the wireless curently has an IP of 192.168.0.100
[05:07] <dominick> I'd like to use whatever works ;-)
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> dominick: are you using the wifi now?
[05:08] <GridCube> does anyone here uses a 32bit ubuntu whit more than 4GB of ram? does the PAE mode work fine? im wondering about adding more ram to my machine but i don't want to move to a 64bit install
[05:08] <dominick> yes actually
[05:08] <dominick> but I am getting 14 k/sec download speed - oy
[05:08] <escott> GridCube, PAE should work fine, there are other advantages to 64bit beyond just ram though
[05:09] <canthus13> GridCube: No, I have 4GB ram.. but I get more usable ram with PAE than I do with the regular kernel.
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> dominick: is it a usb wireless or an adapter which is part of a system?
[05:09] <Nobgul-bnc> GridCube, i have 32 gigs f ram in my 32 bit server and it uses and sees it all
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> GridCube: 32bit + PAE can access 12Gb RAM
[05:09] <Polah> Out of curiosity, what is the limit on RAM with PAE enabled?
[05:10] <dominick> I'm trying to get the adapter to work
[05:10] <dominick> to work better that is
[05:10] <dominick> the usb wireless I'm trying to ween off ;)
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> sorry 64Gb limit
[05:10] <escott> Polah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[05:10] <AlphaPsi> Hello I installed ubuntu, and I clicked on encrypt the homefolder
[05:10] <AlphaPsi> What does that mean?
[05:10] <dominick> because this adapter should be way faster, yes?
[05:10] <AlphaPsi> Hello I installed ubuntu, and I clicked on encrypt the homefolder. What does that mean?*
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> dominick: i see, the wired connections should be ok. the wireless hould be faster. Is there no native driver for it?
[05:11] <escott> AlphaPsi, without your password your home directory is encrypted (unreadable)
[05:11] <GridCube> Nobgul-bnc, really :D thats awesome
[05:11] <Polah> AlphaPsi: 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] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: if you take the drive out and put it in another system it wil be gibberish without your key to decode it
[05:11] <Nobgul-bnc> GridCube, 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 fine
[05:11] <dominick> I can download a Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7 driver only ActionParsnip
[05:11] <AlphaPsi> I got the key and wwrote it down
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> dominick: there are often native drivers for wireless chips
[05:12] <AlphaPsi> how can I get rid of the encrpytion? Unless that's a bad idea
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> dominick: what is the output of:  lsusb
[05:12] <dominick> that would be great - one sec
[05:12] <GridCube> ok, thanks, i will buy the ram sticks then :D
[05:12] <escott> AlphaPsi, it can be disabled but its probably easier just to create a new user who is not encrypted
[05:12] <Polah> AlphaPsi: 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] <kla> AlphaPsi, how bad it is only depends on your needs
[05:12] <Nobgul-bnc> AlphaPsi, not really a bad idea persay. If your doing bad things and want to try and hide it then yes encrypt otherwise meeh
[05:12] <dhruvasagar> I am unable to open the software sources. Synaptic -> Repositories, it tells me that things have change and I need to reload but even after reload it doesn't fix it. Reload gives me a GPG error
[05:13] <dominick> Here you go ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634007/
[05:14] <AlphaPsi> Because I'm worried if I forget/lose the key and I need to access my data, is that a problem?
[05:14] <Nobgul-bnc> Yes it will be gone forever
[05:14] <Nobgul-bnc> Well unless your interested in crypto and cracking the encryption
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> dominick: strange its not listed, you sure it's usb based?
[05:15] <Nobgul-bnc> if you even can? its 1024 bit or something
[05:15] <Fudge> anyone running phpbb
[05:15] <dominick> the current one I'm using is not usb based
[05:15] <Nobgul-bnc> Fudge, got a few installs running. not very popular sites but yea.
[05:15] <dominick> the slow one - the encore - is an adapter
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: if you want to access your data from live CD or another distro you will need to decrypt the data first
[05:15] <AlphaPsi> So how do I get rid of the encrpytion? I think I'd prefer just encrypting certain files with a password I choose
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> dominick: what is the ful make and model of the device please
[05:16] <Fudge> Nobgul-bnc  mind if i pm u
[05:16] <ttiicc> Im a java developer who's been using debian for 2 years. Im switching to a new company right now and they are using ubuntu! I know that ubuntu is based on debian, but wonder how big the differences are? what would look new for me?
[05:16] <Nobgul-bnc> AlphaPsi, you may want to look into truecrypt.
[05:16] <Nobgul-bnc> fudge go for it
[05:16] <AlphaPsi> How do I get rid of the current encryption on my homefolder first though?
[05:16] <dominick> Encore Electronics Wireless N300 PCI Adapter - ENLWI-NX2
[05:17] <KM0201> what log would i look in to see why my machine shuts down when the screensaver comes on?
[05:17] <dominick> I WAS using: Rosewill RNX-G1W IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless USB adapter (I think that's what the Realtek is?) - Just trying to get the Encore to work.
[05:17] <escott> AlphaPsi, 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] <ActionParsnip> dominick: "PCI Adapter" ?
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> dominick: you said it was usb..
[05:18] <ttiicc> could anyone please answer my question
[05:18] <escott> AlphaPsi, the problem with the second approach is that some things will still think that the encrypted files should be mounted so that would require some cleanup...
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: for teh java development, not much at all
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> dominick: can you pastebin the output of:  lspci   thanks
[05:18] <dominick> sure
[05:18] <blackshirt> ttiicc: i think no big differences between them
[05:18] <KM0201> ttiicc: if you can use debian, you shouldn't have any issues adapting to Ubuntu.
[05:18] <ttiicc> ok thanks guys!
[05:18] <kouche_> anyone can help me with my wlan driver?
[05:18] <AlphaPsi> This user is completely new
[05:19] <AlphaPsi> So I don't have any files, since it's completely new
[05:19] <blackshirt> kouche_: what's the problem ?
[05:19] <MadGirl> hmmm... the problem is , after I installed unbuntu, when I click on the Windows 7 option, it won't boot into windows..
[05:19] <rypervenche> ttiicc: Pretty much the same. They screwed up some things in Ubuntu, but you should be fine. You'll miss Debian though :/
[05:19] <kouche_> i have inspirion 4600
[05:19] <AlphaPsi> So I don't have any files, since it's completely new. I can just create a new user with no encryption right? Can it have the same username?
[05:19] <dominick> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634012/
[05:20] <blackshirt> kouche_: what's your wifi chipsets ?
[05:20] <dominick> ActionParsnip: I am not using the 3com or the nvidia because they are not wireless.
[05:21] <dominick> They show up as disconnected in the Wifi icon on my top panel
[05:21] <kouche_> and i used this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers
[05:21] <cvalero> hi
[05:21] <escott> AlphaPsi, if you have no data to save you might be able to get away with rm -rf /home/username/.ecryptfs and then recopying from /etc/skel into /home/username
[05:21] <kouche_> blackshirt BCM4311
[05:21] <cvalero> como estan por aca
[05:21] <cvalero> a que se dedican
[05:22] <wiesshund> Any reason not to update firefox to 5.0?  aside form ubuntu plugin seems to not be compat
[05:22] <escott> !es | cvalero
[05:22] <KM0201> kouche_: are you sure its a 4311?... and not that 4311-lpphy or something like that?
[05:22] <ttiicc> yes I liked that debian was rock stable and that things didn't change that mutch between releases!
[05:22] <KM0201> ttiicc: wait till you use unity..lol
[05:22] <AlphaPsi> escott: might get away with it, not 100% sure though, I'll just make a new user
[05:22] <Polah> wiesshund, Firefox 4.0 is no longer supported.
[05:22] <ttiicc> KM0201 is it buggy?
[05:23] <KM0201> ttiicc: it's a matter of opinion.
[05:23] <wiesshund> Polah,  i meant ff 5.0, ubuntu still comes packed with 3.x
[05:23] <ttiicc> KM0201: if it crashed then I would say it's buggy!
[05:23] <blackshirt> kouche_: i think you are right ...
[05:24] <ttiicc> how mutch work does it take to switch unity for gnome3 ?
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> dominick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10411412
[05:25] <blackshirt> ttiicc: just remove it and install another
[05:25] <KM0201> ttiicc: gnome 3 is kind of a mess w/ ubuntu 11.04, i wouldn't do it.. wait till it's official for 11.10
[05:25] <Polah> wiesshund, 3.0 isn't supported by Firefox either. I haven't noticed the Ubuntu pack not working on 5.0, at least I've had no mention of it now working
[05:26] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, what does it say when you click on windows on the boot menu? and is this dual boot with 2 drives or just 1?
[05:26] <MadGirl> i wish i knew, ChaosSaber
[05:26] <KM0201> blackshirt: if only it were really that simple... quite a few reports of bricked systems after removing gnome 3 ( i had the same issue)
[05:26] <ttiicc> Thanks for the gnome 3 with ubuntu information!
[05:26] <ttiicc> BBL
[05:27] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, are you useing 2 diff drives for dual booting or just 1?
[05:27] <MadGirl> ChaosSaber: i don't know
[05:27] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, who installed ubuntu?
[05:27] <MadGirl> no idea, ChaosSaber
[05:27] <kouche_> KM0201 http://paste.ubuntu.com/634014/ it is my network driver
[05:27] <kouche_> blackshirt what do you mean?
[05:28] <KM0201> kouche_: did you install the b43 driver?
[05:28] <blackshirt> KM0201: not too difficult, with internet connection and deep knowledge aboout APT system
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: there is a ppa for gnome 3 but gnome 3 is not stable in Ubuntu yet
[05:29] <KM0201> blackshirt: whatever you say...
[05:29] <dominick> ActionParsnip: any final thoughts?
[05:29] <dominick> just easier to get a new card?
[05:29] <KM0201> kouche_: which driver did you try, STA or b43?
[05:29] <dominick> or a whole new puter ;-)
[05:30] <blackshirt> KM0201: just a little jokes :d
[05:30] <kouche_> KM0201 yes, and look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634017/
[05:31] <KM0201> kouche_: dunno, it's bedtime for me.. good luck w/ it.
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> dominick: for the sake of a wireless card, no way
[05:31] <KM0201> i'd suspect you didn't install the driver correctly, but that is strictly a guess.
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> dominick: how much RAM does the system have?
[05:31] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, are you on ubuntu?
[05:31] <MadGirl> bugger all, i dunno, ChaosSaber
[05:31] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Currently 512 :[
[05:31] <dominick> sad really
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> dominick: thats enough for ubuntu :)
[05:32] <yuike> Hi, I am having an issue when reattaching a screen, the text wrapping is all crazy. I tried doing ctrl-a r, but it didn't help. this is what it looks like: http://d.pr/CIWu oh, almost forgot to mention, whatever I type doesn't visibly show at that point.
[05:32] <kouche_> KM0201 thank you
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> dominick: ive got systems with less
[05:32] <dominick> wow
[05:32] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, ok let me see if I can get this right, you're on linux and now you're win 7 wont boot?
[05:32] <MadGirl> i wish i knew, ChaosSaber
[05:32] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Can you run the new interface?
[05:32] <dominick> Unity is it?
[05:33] <ChaosSaber> ok I am starting to think that MadGirl is a bot?
[05:33] <pat201> how can i tell if the architecture i have is i386 or AMD64?
[05:33] <Polah> pat201: uname -i
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> dominick: I use LXDE + Unity2D, works well
[05:34] <yuike> no one knows eh :\
[05:34] <knoppies> pat201, if that doesnt work, then do an apt-cache search (and pick some package, I should find one that states)
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> yuike: considering you only waited 100 seconds, I suggest you wait just a little longer
[05:34] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Is there a write up on how to do that? Have a link?
[05:34] <yuike> k
[05:35] <pat201> thank you good person
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> dominick: i simply installed Lubuntu, You can then install unity 2D from repos and make a startup item to kill lxpanel off, looks like regular unity but uses a fraction of the resources
[05:36] <linux> hello i was wondering if someone would be so kind as to help me. I'm pretty new to linux and would like to know how to view my usb hdd files from the home folder. Thanks
[05:36] <knoppies> pat201, sorry, apt-cache wont tell you, you could try: ls /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:36] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Sounds cool! I might try this. Maybe it'll solve some probs?
[05:37] <linux> anyone? lol
[05:38] <rhin0> whats up linux
[05:38] <blackshirt> yeah linux
[05:38] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Thanks for your time and good night
[05:38] <ChaosSaber> linux, you should have the drives on the side when you open your homefolder up
[05:38] <tripelb> how can i te;; how ;png since boot
[05:39] <linux> well for some reason my laptop hdd wont start up windows with all my files so i am using BT 4 live cd and i took out my hdd and put it in a usb/ converter hooked up and it can see my files on my friends laptop
[05:39] <linux> but i go to homefolder and cant see anything there
[05:39] <tripelb> how can i tell how long since boot?
[05:39] <linux> all i see is install.sh
[05:40] <caminomaster> hello
[05:41] <caminomaster> does anybody knows if theres any repo for Feisty?
[05:41] <Logan_> !feisty | caminomaster
[05:41] <linux> ok i think i see it in /dev/disk/by-id
[05:41] <tripelb> how can i tell how long since boot?
[05:42] <linux> but when i try to open it it ask what program i want to run it with
[05:42] <Polah> tripelb: uptime
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> dominick: unity is just a shell, its stil gnome underneath (if you use ubuntu)
[05:42] <tripelb> ty
[05:42] <Polah> tripelb: You'll get <current time> up <uptime>
[05:42] <caminomaster> !eol
[05:42] <ttiicc> exit
[05:42] <tripelb> uptime
[05:42] <Logan_> tripelb: Wrong window. ;)
[05:43] <Heinz_L_Maennche>  hello, when i use recordmydesktop and close a window while recording, later in the video it will still be open (desktop is not redrawn) how can i fix that?
[05:45] <tripelb> something seems wrong. it took 9 minutes to boot, and to stat xchat with 2 servers, -6 channels hre, 5 there.  (top showed xchat using 97%)
[05:45] <yuike> ActionParsnip: is there a ticket I can take to get in line? lol
[05:45] <wiesshund> hoping in 11.10 they get full compiz functionality back, so i can have the same desktop setup i have in 10.10. probably put 11.04 on the notebook though, since it uses netbook anyways
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> yuike: i dont attach / reattach screens so cannot help you dude, sorry. Maybe others can advise. If not then try a little later
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> wiesshund: how does it "use netbook"?
[05:46] <kla> tripelb, cpu thermal throttling, mismatched software/library versions are a few i can  think of
[05:47] <BlazedSensei> hello everyone
[05:47] <knoppies> yuike, what is your problem?
[05:47] <wiesshund> ActionParsnip,  ubuntu netbook edition (UNE)
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> hi BlazedSensei
[05:48] <Polah> wiesshund: There is no netbook edition after 10.10
[05:48] <BlazedSensei> does anyone know why it asks me what application i want to open a hdd with?
[05:48] <wiesshund> Polah,  did not say there was
[05:48] <Corey> yuike: ctrl a+ d, then screen -d -r
[05:48] <Corey> yuike: That'll force a resize.
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> wiesshund: Ive not seen a netbook edition iso for natty. Do you have a link?
[05:49] <BlazedSensei> should i mount it?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> wiesshund: or do you mean unity?
[05:49] <yuike> Corey: oh cool, i'll try that now, thank you
[05:49] <Corey> yuike: The -d forces detatch from its old settings
[05:49] <wiesshund> ActionParsnip,  hmm maybe i typed that bad, was saying i'd just put 11.04 on the netbook. it already uses UNE  the unity works for that little screen
[05:49] <Polah> ActionParnsip: There isn't one, Canonical stopped with putting "edition" in the names, there's just 11.04 now, no specific editions for netbook and so on
[05:50] <tripelb> k;a, how can I check the thermal stuff? 2004 dell. 10,04 pretty vanilla (xcaat all that is running, just booted up after days. been noticing the slowdown_
[05:51] <knoppies> tripelb, when you say thermal stuff do you mean temperatures?
[05:51] <Logan_> !lm-sensors | tripelb
[05:51] <pat201> if i check MD5 and SHA1 have i completed an entire checksum check?
[05:51] <ChaosSaber> Logan_, does that monitor GPU also?
[05:52] <knoppies> pat201, there are others but those should be sufficient, yes.
[05:52] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: I'm not positive.
[05:52] <Corey> !ipmi
[05:52] <Corey> Hmm.
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> if you have the old netbook interface then maybe but 11.04 by default uses unity, not netbook interface
[05:52] <ChaosSaber> my cpu temp is ok but my GPU is what scares me
[05:53] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: Is it NVIDIA?
[05:53] <ChaosSaber> yeah but its got a dead internal fan
[05:53] <pat201> what are the other parameters i could check? and if so what programs could i use to check them?
[05:53] <Logan_> !info nvidia-tools | ChaosSaber
[05:53] <Joe123> anyone familiar with ch (a c interpreter)?
[05:53] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: Er, oops.
[05:53] <ChaosSaber> Logan_, I hotglued a fan to it lol
[05:54] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: Try nvidia-settings - it apparently gives you the GPU temps.
[05:54] <ChaosSaber> Logan_, thanks for that, it does
[05:54] <ChaosSaber> I never even thought to look
[05:55] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: cool :)
[05:57] <yuike> Corey: hmm that didn't seem to work, still not getting line breaks on reattach
[05:57] <BlazedSensei> does anyone know why it asks me what application i want to open a usb hdd?
[05:58] <stefan_> Hello, after a "successful" (the program told so) Remastering of my system, I cannot see an ISO file in /home/remastersys/remastersys. Onluy custom.iso.md5 with 0kb. What has happened? have pasted the remasterlog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634025/
[05:58] <Corey> yuike: Works fine here, and on every machine I can easily touch; what's running within screen?
[05:59] <_cb> using ubuntu can I deploy a 'kiosk machine' that only runs firefox and only to a certain web site? If yes, how?
[05:59] <Corey> _cb: Sure, strip it way down.
[06:00] <_cb> even stripped down I would have to disable closing firefox, minimizing windows,etc,etc
[06:01] <Corey> _cb: But restricting firefox would be interesting.
[06:01] <Corey> _cb: I didn't say it'd be easy. :-)
[06:01] <tripelb> Logan_ knoppies or kla I installed it, answered yes.... got told this sudo sensors-detect ran it, found I dont have drivers. Looked at the web page for drivers, am baffled. STOP.
[06:01] <Corey> _cb: Could slap it onto its own vlan, and the only thing it's allowed to hit is a very restrictive squid proxy.
[06:01] <Logan_> _cb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/kioskGnome
[06:01] <tripelb> dell dimension 4600
[06:02] <Corey> _cb: That being said, it's the sort of thing I'd probably outsource. :-)
[06:02] <Logan_> _cb: or: http://calvinsohk.blogspot.com/2011/05/making-ubuntu-1104-as-kiosk-using.html
[06:03] <Logan_> _cb: but that second one is for Chrome, if that matters
[06:04] <_cb> Logan thanks. That is what I may be looking for. Did something like that on XP/Windows. Browser does not matter I just prefer Ubuntu over XP/IE
[06:04] <Logan_> mmhm
[06:04] <Logan_> can't blame you
[06:05] <ChaosSaber> this is my 4th day runnin ubuntu and it seems to be alot better then windows
[06:06] <Funkmaster7> Is there an equivalent of CTRL-F  in Ubuntu for man pages or module documentation in terminal?
[06:06] <Funkmaster7> I need to search for a particular text.
[06:06] <Corey> Funkmaster7: /pattern
[06:07] <yuike> Corey: well my situation is I ssh into my ubuntu machine, then screen -d -r and my issue arises
[06:08] <Funkmaster7> Corey, for /patter do I need to do a regex or use keywords?
[06:08] <Corey> Funkmaster7: Play with it and see.
[06:08] <chaGu> ..

[06:15] <cpgo> I've moved my mysql data dir and changed the conf in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to reflect the new path (applied same ownership and permissions as the original dir). Now when I try to access phpmyadmin it gives me #2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
[06:17] <katzenklavier> Hey all.  I'm having some weird trouble.  I switched keyboards to a PS2 keyboard from a USB one I'd had that broke, and now my (USB) mouse refuses to work.
[06:17] <katzenklavier> Any idea what I can do to fix it?
[06:18] <cmaxwell> does it work in other usb ports?
[06:18] <katzenklavier> Let me check right now.
[06:18] <cmaxwell> ok
[06:20] <katzenklavier> It does not.  I did, however, get some exciting error mesages.  "unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start: -62"
[06:20] <cmaxwell> have you rebooted?
[06:20] <katzenklavier> I've not.
[06:21] <katzenklavier> This was a bit of a surprise - it worked fine before the keyboard switch.
[06:21] <katzenklavier> I'll go ahead and reboot.  brb
[06:21] <cmaxwell> ok
[06:24] <cmaxwell> hello again
[06:24] <katzenklavier> I hard-booted and it works like a champ now.  I think it may not have liked softbooting from Windows.
[06:24] <katzenklavier> Thank you so much for your kind help.
[06:24] <Shapeshiftr> I'm having installation issues with ubuntu 11.04. i loaded the iso onto a usb flash drive and when i try to install ubuntu onto my freshly wiped server, it just beeps and nothing happens.I'm literally at the install menu, and I hit enter on "Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk." Anyone know?
[06:25] <cmaxwell> np, if you ever need help again come back and ill be happy
[06:25] <katzenklavier> thanks again :)
[06:25] <cmaxwell> shapeshiftr:you went to boot options and what?
[06:26] <Beta0x64> shapeshifter does the screen turn black?
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> Nope
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> I literally plugged in the flash drive
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> turned on the computer
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> The Install Ubuntu menu appeared, as normal.
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> I scroll down to Install, and hit enter, and it just beeps and quickly flashes.
[06:27] <Al-Bawi> hi , the wine cannot install applications
[06:27] <sattu94> beginners
[06:27] <Shapeshiftr> It's like it can't recognize my HDD
[06:27] <Beta0x64> can you run the livecd?
[06:27] <cmaxwell> do you have any dvds
[06:27] <Shapeshiftr> The CD drive is broken, so I'm stuck with flash drives.
[06:28] <Beta0x64> but run it live
[06:28] <Shapeshiftr> it doesn't recognize the CD drive for some reason.
[06:28] <Shapeshiftr> Nah, running live on the USB doesn't work either.
[06:28] <Shapeshiftr> I'm memtesting right now.
[06:28] <Al-Bawi> anyone have experience with wine?
[06:29] <Al-Bawi> the wine cannot install exe applications , why  is that?

[06:30] <canthiswait> i'm using Ubuntu server 10.04, I'm able to use smbclient to mount //hotname/sharename but when I try that in fstab is tells me "couldn't resolve" address. how do I get fstab to recognize smb names?
[06:31] <ZykoticK9> canthiswait, can you "ping hostname" successfully?  You could use IP addresses instead.
[06:32] <canthiswait> ZykoticK9, I'm trying to avoid IP addresses since they are dynamic. smbclient //hostname works just fine but that same hostname in fstab says it couldn't resolve it.
[06:33] <stefan_> May I simply delete directories in /home/me:)/.cache especially tracker, Mendeley Ltd. and Chromium, or is this a bad Idea? Will those programs be able to remake those directories "out of the box" later?
[06:33] <wildbat> canthiswait: i don't think network is up while fstab is running
[06:33] <ZykoticK9> canthiswait, can you "ping hostname" successfully?
[06:33] <stefan_> (I want to share my nearly unpersonel Installation using remastersys)
[06:33] <canthiswait> no, they are windows machine names
[06:33] <stefan_> sorry: unpersonal
[06:34] <canthiswait> there is no way to to use those in fstab?
[06:34] <canthiswait> smbclient seems to deal with them fine
[06:35] <ZykoticK9> canthiswait, i think if you had DNS working for hostnames then you could, but if you can't ping by them, they aren't gonna work in fstab
[06:35] <MrBushido> is there some key combo to stop the unity bar auto hiding? i have it stuck on my screen atm :<
[06:36] <canthiswait> ZykoticK9, thanks, I'm guessing I'll have to assign static IPs on those machines
[06:36] <MrBushido> hmm, must be a bug. fix = drag an icon from desktop to bar and then remove it >.<

[06:49] <noisewaterphd> ubuntuguy, you use ssh mount
[06:49] <kikay> thanks Heinz and pksadiq
[06:49] <incidence> I have two public IP's, is it possible to set other IP as "default"?
[06:50] <Guest33972> But I'm running it on my old-ass laptop from '04.
[06:50] <noisewaterphd> so store your home folder in the cloud, and then sshmount on all the machines you want to use it
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> incidence: sure, look into the route command
[06:50] <incidence> Like when I connect with SSH to some box, I'd see hostname AAA.com, not BBB.com
[06:50] <Heinz_L_Maennche> pksadiq, too slow^^
[06:50] <noisewaterphd> ubuntuguy, here is the first hit on google http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-mount-a-remote-folder-using-ssh-on-ubuntu/

[06:51] <Guest33972> What are your thoughts on Unity?

[06:51] <Jordan_U> !classic | kf7nnz
[06:51] <incidence> ActionParsnip: What about route command in particular? Any pointers? But thanks, I'll look into it

[06:51] <karrot2> does anyone know a good way to get screen caps of a video using a command line command?  I've been googling for a while and I can't really find any good answers... I can't figure out the mplayer -vo command
[06:51] <wildgoose> !ot > Guest33972
[06:51] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: xuggle
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> incidence: you use the route command to specify the default gateway and the interface used to reach it
[06:51] <karrot2> noisewaterphd: thank you very much
[06:52] <muman613> \exit
[06:52] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: just google it, install it
[06:52] <muman613> \help
[06:52] <kf7nnz> Thanks ubottu I'll try that!
[06:52] <Heinz_L_Maennche> karrot2, recordmydesktop
[06:52] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: way cool program
[06:52] <karrot2> Heinz_L_Maennche: I don't want to capture my screen, I want to get preview pictures for a movie
[06:52] <incidence> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[06:52] <wildgoose> muman613,  /exit /help
[06:52] <Heinz_L_Maennche> ah...ok
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> karrot2: also xvidcap
[06:52] <Heinz_L_Maennche> my mistake^^
[06:52] <bcalab> exit
[06:53] <noisewaterphd> recordmydesktop is really crap compared to xuggle
[06:53] <karrot2> noisewaterphd: I don't think this is quite what I wanted
[06:53] <karrot2> ActionParsnip: I will try that
[06:53] <karrot2> ActionParsnip: this looks like what I've been searching for THANK YOU!
[06:54] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: it does exactly what you asked for?
[06:54] <green_> i'M RUNNING UBUNTU 10.04 AND AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH COMPIZ ANIMATIONS CAN ANY ONE GIVE ME A HAND?
[06:54] <pksadiq> !cpas
[06:54] <green_> sorry for the caps
[06:54] <Heinz_L_Maennche> noisewaterphd, can u record the desktop with xuggle?
[06:54] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: but whatever, ya if xvidcap speaks to you, then give it a shot
[06:54] <pksadiq> my mistake too :)
[06:54] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: absolutley
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> green_: what video chip do you use?
[06:55] <green_> intel onboard
[06:55] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: but with all of its coolness and flexibility comes a bit more complexity, xvidcap may be a lot quicker to set up if that is your only requirement
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> green_: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; xrandr      Thanks
[06:56] <karrot2> noisewaterphd: yea, I just need simple funcationality... don't feel like learning a whole new thing
[06:56] <green_> sure can
[06:56] <karrot2> noisewaterphd: although it looks like that could be useful for capturing netflix movies...
[06:57] <karrot2> wait xvidcap is not what I want either, this is my problem with googling it too... I can't figure out the wording for what I am trying to do.  I want something to take a .avi file and every 5 minutes take a screencapture

[07:01] <totem> green_: please don't play compiz to much. need best gpu for that. :)
[07:01] <souji> hi i am trying to install ubuntu but its stopping in middle and saying that instalation cd-rom cannot be mounted  i m new in linux plz help i searched all forum but i was not able to fix it
[07:01] <babu__> recommandable irc client atleast
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> green_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Lucidi945Freezes

[07:03] <ActionParsnip> totem: compiz can be quite light, the intel chip green_ has is just a pain and too touchy with timings, causing freezing
[07:03] <yertalert> when did I use cpas, pksadiq?
[07:03] <noisewaterphd> green_: I've got a killer graphics card, and I didn't get any animations to work when trying out Unity, which I hated anyway
[07:04] <noisewaterphd> green_: maybe in 11.10
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> souji: are you using a CD or a USB device to install?
[07:04] <yertalert> caps*
[07:04] <firstIRCtest> I have a machine (the one I'm on) on which I have ubuntu 8.04 on one partition...this has been there for some time. I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on a new partition, and I have no sound on that partition. Any help? I figure that having one partition working ought to be of some use.
[07:04] <pksadiq> yertalert: I mean from the img url, :) sorry
[07:04] <green_> this was with 10.04 and 10.10 on this pc before
[07:04] <yertalert> sorry, from another network thats more lax on displaying a link related to the topic
[07:04] <wildgoose> souji, Try burning the disk at the lowest speed you can.
[07:04] <firstIRCtest> It's my first time on IRC, hence the username.
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh      Thanks
[07:05] <souji> ActionParsnip: noo
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> souji: then what are you using?
[07:05] <noisewaterphd> firstIRCtest: install alsamixer and then check that everything is unmuted and such
[07:05] <susundberg> Or pavucontrol
[07:05] <souji> wildgoose: i installed on one system it went perfect
[07:05] <souji> ActionParsnip: dvdrom
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> souji: ok did you check the disk for defects when it starts to boot? Have you tested your RAM?
[07:06] <bronaugh> so question. why would the keyboard  stop working after logging in to KDE in X11?
[07:06] <noisewaterphd> firstIRCtest: the few times I've had no sound with an ubuntu install, alsamixer was the only remedy. must be certain audio hardware
[07:06] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip, the link is http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1c16d487065668a0a3f93ce804b5c41397cc2a60
[07:06] <bronaugh> ubuntu 8.04
[07:06] <bronaugh> and I haven't touched the install at all.
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: hardy desktop support has ended
[07:07] <firstIRCtest> Okay...lots of comments. Thanks. Let me try to catch up.
[07:07] <souji> no
[07:07] <souji> ok
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: are you using a desktop OS?
[07:07] <green_> I guess this is just a weird thing on some installs
[07:07] <souji> ActionParsnip: no i will check right now
[07:07] <bronaugh> ActionParsnip: so has your mom's sex drive.
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: hardly appropriate
[07:08] <bronaugh> *shrug* and care, why?
[07:08] <bronaugh> I don't have anything to lose.
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: I suggest you upgrade to Lucid for support. Hardy is ONLY supported on the server
[07:08] <bronaugh> ActionParsnip: I suggest you try running modern Ubuntu and KDE4 on a machine with 256MB RAM
[07:08] <chalcedony> Lucid is nice after hardy
[07:08] <morth> what do you guys use for IRC?
[07:09] <bronaugh> oh, hey chalcedony - fancy seeing you here.
[07:09] <chalcedony> bronaugh, hi *hugs*
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: try using NOT Gnome, there are more desktops than just gnome and kde
[07:09] <noisewaterphd> morth: xchat, konversation
[07:09] <chalcedony> indeed
[07:09] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip, 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] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: you could run fluxbox on 256Mb and it would run amazingly
[07:09] <bronaugh> ActionParsnip: I'm quite aware of that. having used most of them.
[07:09] <chalcedony> morth #xchat
[07:09] <totem> bronaugh: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: Hardy desktop is no longer supported
[07:09] <morth> xchat seems pretty common hmm
[07:10] <chalcedony> there are reasons for that
[07:10] <souji> ActionParsnip: its giving the same error cant mount cdrom
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: so you CAN run the latest Ubuntu releases on 256Mb RAM. 256Mb RAM is the minimum requirement
[07:10] <firstIRCtest> I 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] <ActionParsnip> souji: sounds like a bad burn or dodgey optical drive
[07:10] <firstIRCtest> Sorry, the las post was at ActionParsnip.
[07:10] <fuga> bronaugh: from #linuxhelp undernet ?
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: the newer versions use newer ALSA versions, should be ok
[07:10] <babu__> my emapthy crashes whenever i try to add a new account in irc..pls help
[07:11] <chalcedony> fuga, and other places
[07:11] <bronaugh> mostly there afaik.
[07:11] <noisewaterphd> babu__: empathy sucks
[07:11] <noisewaterphd> babu__: sudo apt-get install xchat
[07:11] <morth> you guys may be asked this alot but, just curious why do YOU use ubuntu?
[07:11] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip I have run sudo alsamixer, and upped volume. No results.
[07:11] <noisewaterphd> babu__: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[07:11] <kroq-gar78> @morth:its fast
[07:12] <noisewaterphd> babu__: sudo apt-get remove --purge empathy
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> morth: I chat and web browse, ubuntu does that, why pay for an OS?
[07:12] <bronaugh> morth: 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-gar78> morth:a LOT faster...
[07:12] <bronaugh> morth: I like Debian more where I want something robust.
[07:12] <chalcedony> babu__, pidgin is the best of them from what i've seen - but for irc xchat
[07:12] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip: Should I boot to the new partition to do some diag there?
[07:12] <bronaugh> that'll hold up and I can upgrade for year after year.
[07:12] <bronaugh> Ubuntu... fails, there.
[07:12] <babu__> sudo apt-get remove --purge empathy ---> what's that mean?
[07:12] <bronaugh> having to step through each version to upgrade is a joke.
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: its not a rolling release distro
[07:12] <kroq-gar78> babu__: remove empathy
[07:12] <morth> hm makes sense
[07:13] <noisewaterphd> morth: im a developer, everywhere I've ever worked used some flavor of nix
[07:13] <Heinz_L_Maennche> morth, because it is just what i want...and far better than windows
[07:13] <babu__> i'm using empathy for chat...
[07:13] <bronaugh> anyhow, the machine I'm typing on is Ubuntu; so are the two laptops here.
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: 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] <bronaugh> machines I install for people to use at work are invariably ubuntu.
[07:13] <noisewaterphd> morth: I've had to use windows a few times, and it is incredibly frustrating how bad it really is
[07:13] <bronaugh> servers are invariably debian.
[07:14] <wildgoose> !ot | bronaugh
[07:14] <babu__> i wish to continue to use empathy for chat
[07:14] <morth> im more of a Windows user but i want to get more into using linux, i actually prefer ubuntu over win7 already and im a n00b at it i mean i get aggravated when i don't understand something but its quite enjoyable.
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> babu__: what is the output of:  lsb_release -d    Thanks
[07:14] <kroq-gar78> morth: that's what happened to me a little more than one year ago :)
[07:14] <kroq-gar78> babu__: why can't you?
[07:14] <noisewaterphd> bronaugh: I see just as many, if not more, CentOS servers as Debian
[07:14] <morth> any tips i should learn now so i don't have to trial and error like you guys did when you guys were learning linux?
[07:14] <babu__> ubuntu 10.10
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> morth: you'll learn with time
[07:15] <Heinz_L_Maennche> morth, always look for good tutorials and screencasts...they help a lot when u r new to linux/ubuntu
[07:15] <wildgoose> ot | noisewaterphd
[07:15] <kroq-gar78> babu__: so? what's the problem with ubuntu 10.10?
[07:15] <noisewaterphd> bronaugh: but I would agree it is almost always one of the 2
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> babu__: and apt-cache policy empathy   what version is installed?
[07:15] <bronaugh> noisewaterphd: #ubuntu-offtopic?
[07:15] <susundberg> morth: i would recommend read to a book about linux
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> !manual | morth
[07:16] <morth> i should prob start with (dual screen) a firefox on 1 screen and only use the terminal to learn the commands rather than using the UI.
[07:16] <noisewaterphd> i didnt bring it up, i was commenting on a conversation that stemmed from someone asking why to use ubuntu
[07:16] <babu__> empathy:   Installed: 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1   Candidate: 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1   Version table:  *** 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1 0         500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main i386 Packages         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status      2.32.0-0ubuntu2 0         500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages
[07:16] <noisewaterphd> and he got a lot of good opinions i think
[07:16] <wildgoose> noisewaterphd, Still offtopic.
[07:16] <tanath> after upgrading to 11.04 my wifi no longer works...
[07:16] <morth> that'll get me some practice forcing me to learn the commands to just use it.
[07:16] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip: 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] <noisewaterphd> yep, but i was singled out
[07:17] <tanath> i get 'bad password' even though it hasn't changed. all i've done was upgrade to 11.04
[07:17] <Heinz_L_Maennche> morth, yeah...actually you will prefer the shell over everything else after some time on linux^^
[07:17] <bronaugh> noisewaterphd: to me debian's better because of the breadth of packages available in the repositories without frigging around.
[07:17] <Heinz_L_Maennche> and you will start getting aggressive when forced to use windows^^
[07:17] <noisewaterphd> tanath: it may have to do with your keys
[07:17] <tanath> noisewaterphd, only thing that changed was distro upgrade
[07:17] <morth> unfortuantly i play World of Warcraft and im serious on arenas that would prob draw me back to play my Win7 lol
[07:17] <noisewaterphd> tanath: delete the connection and then set it up again
[07:17] <tanath> mmk
[07:17] <morth> other than that im trying to make linux my primary OS
[07:18] <morth> though... i do have WoW working on linux right now haha
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: ahh i see, then boot to natty and run the same command there
[07:18] <firstIRCtest> Okay, thanks.
[07:18] <morth> you know what, F--- IT im gunna be a fulltime linux user lol
[07:18] <noisewaterphd> bronaugh: I agree totally, I'm a Deb guy too, I was just pointing out what I see day to day
[07:19] <morth> its so much faster, smoother and no viruses.
[07:19] <bronaugh> noisewaterphd: no disagreement here.
[07:19] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip: I'll be back in a while.
[07:19] <tanath> noisewaterphd, still not working :-/
[07:19] <bronaugh> anyhow, aside from Ubuntu 8.04 being "unsupported" -- anyone else run across this problem?
[07:19] <noisewaterphd> morth: the great thing about Linux is that you can really take control of your machine
[07:19] <bronaugh> where logging in results in keyboard no longer working?
[07:20] <babu__> i hope someone help
[07:20] <tanath> noisewaterphd, spoke too soon... seems to have finally connected
[07:20] <noisewaterphd> tanath: great!
[07:20] <morth> noisewaterphd i agree, i feel win7 is holding me back.
[07:20] <noisewaterphd> babu__: I did help you, I even gave you the exact commands to paste
[07:21] <morth> i also believe win7 has way to many things running in the background i find linux problem free so far.
[07:21] <Jordan_U> bronaugh: "unsupported" means just that.
[07:22] <bronaugh> Jordan_U: right because I'm sure this -never- happens on modern Ubuntu *snort*
[07:22] <morth> are outside links allowed here? (youtube)
[07:23] <noisewaterphd> morth: there is a really great book that I always recommend to new *nix folks called Unix Power Tools. That book is a great start to learning the power of your new OS of choice
[07:23] <morth> its topic related.
[07:23] <noisewaterphd> morth: ya if its on topic
[07:23] <morth> noisewaterphd sweet, ill write that down.
[07:23] <Jordan_U> bronaugh: 8.04 is not supported on the Desktop. This is not going to change. Please don't ask for support for an unsupported release.
[07:24] <morth> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz6TVlo2xyw
[07:24] <bronaugh> Jordan_U: can I verbally abuse you? please?
[07:24] <morth> is that a boot screen? if so.. i want that lol
[07:24] <Jordan_U> !guidelines | bronaugh
[07:26] <morth> did anyone check that link out?
[07:26] <morth> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz6TVlo2xyw
[07:26] <morth> is that a boot screen?
[07:27] <morth> i wouldn't mind that if it is
[07:31] <morth> noisewaterphd are you here?
[07:31] <noisewaterphd> i put an ssd in my macbook pro running ubuntu and boot time is almost non existant
[07:31] <westz> !ping
[07:31] <caminomaster> hi, i'm trying to install ntfs-config for an old feisty installation
[07:31] <Jordan_U> morth: No, as far as I know that's just an animation made for the ad.
[07:31] <caminomaster> i've added old-releases.ubuntu.com to my src.lst, but i can't find that pack
[07:31] <noisewaterphd> morth: ya I watched it, I've never seen that boot screen, but you can totally customize the boot screen to do whatever you want
[07:31] <westz> alright, 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)
[07:32] <Jordan_U> morth: It might be possible to make a plymouth theme similar to that but it would likely be a lot of work.
[07:32] <morth> noisewaterphd im looking up Unix Power Tools, and there are 3 editions does it matter which?
[07:32] <noisewaterphd> westz: I had no trouble installing vidalia
[07:32] <noisewaterphd> morth: i'd go for the latest
[07:32] <morth> jordan_U true enough, would be nice to have though heh
[07:33] <morth> noisewaterphd cool thanks
[07:33] <westz> noisewaterphd, what release? (of ubuntu)
[07:33] <noisewaterphd> westz: in the bin folder of vidalia there is a startup script that launches a preconfiged firefox along with tor and vidalia
[07:33] <noisewaterphd> westz: 10.10
[07:34] <morth> as for torrents.. which would you recommend?
[07:34] <morth> program wise
[07:35] <widewake> Hello, ive recently downloaded BeneathASteelSky , Its old DOS game, how would i go about removing music? I though i could do it, went digging through files and folders but cant find anything. ?
[07:35] <AlephHaz> rtorrent if you like your CLIs
[07:35] <noisewaterphd> westz: App directory, not bin, sorry
[07:35] <morth> !CLi
[07:35] <westz> but i cant find the actual tor executable
[07:36] <westz> or is that in the vidalia app directory to? (that'd be retarded)
[07:36] <noisewaterphd> westz: so just download, extract, put it wherever you want it, and launch the vidalia script from the comand line
[07:36] <morth> actually thats what i was looking for - but for an IRC
[07:36] <morth> any CLi IRCs?
[07:36] <noisewaterphd> westz: the tor executable is in the same directory, so launch from in that dir
[07:36] <AlephHaz> irssi, morth :)
[07:37] <noisewaterphd> westz, or put that dir on your path
[07:37] <morth> AlephHaz ty
[07:37] <westz> setting the path in vidalia is no problem, it's just really weird that it didnt do all this automatically
[07:38] <morth> do you think there is such thing as too much CLi progrmas?
[07:38] <widewake> Hello, ive recently downloaded BeneathASteelSky , Its old DOS game, how would i go about removing backround music? I though i could do it, went digging through files and folders but cant find anything.
[07:38] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip: You still here?
[07:38] <AlephHaz> there's no such thing as too many, morth :P
[07:40] <firstIRCtest> Okay, well, I am trying to troubleshoot sound problems on 11.04. I ran a diag script that ActionParsnip sent. I think he's gone. Anyone want to help?
[07:41] <pksadiq> !irssi
[07:41] <firstIRCtest> Anyone takers?
[07:42] <susundberg> firstIRCtest: did you check with alsamixer that your channels are not muted?
[07:42] <susundberg> (or pavucontrol will do afaik as well)
[07:42] <Zimsky> How do I find out what service is running on a specific port?
[07:43] <firstIRCtest> susaunderberg: yes, I ran alsamixer and adjusted the volume. That has been the problem for me before, but it's not doing it this time.
[07:43] <widewake> trying to remove backround music from a dos game , need help ^^
[07:43] <susundberg> Zimsky: lsof
[07:43] <uragand2> hi
[07:43] <widewake> hi
[07:43] <uragand2> i am waked up already
[07:43] <fuga> Zimsky: netstat
[07:43] <widewake> heh, thats good
[07:44] <pksadiq> firstIRCtest: if you had sound before, try to do the same after a soft restart :)
[07:45] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq: I have an ubuntu 8.04 partition on this very same machine that has sound. This 11.04 partition has no sound. I'm not sure what the difference could be.
[07:45] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq: I just restarted.
[07:45] <susundberg> firstIRCtest: lots of things has changed, starting from kernel and stopping to pulseaudio
[07:45] <susundberg> did you have sound at some point with this 11.04 =
[07:46] <firstIRCtest> I have never had sound on 11.04
[07:46] <pksadiq> !sound
[07:47] <sharat87> Trying to compile imapfilter, when I run `make` in the git repo, I get the error "lua.h not found". I did a "locate lua.h" and saw that it is present at "/usr/include/lua5.1/lua.h". Any ideas on what I might be missing?
[07:47] <firstIRCtest> susunderberg, pksadiq: The output from the script is at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=eead788180f10793b83a851722c94f7ab9a34baf
[07:47] <fuga> firstIRCtest: clean /tmp then check ps -aux and kill evrything not needed then check lsmod etc
[07:47] <pksadiq> !find lua.h
[07:47] <westz> anyone who has vidalia working properly tell me the path for their tor executable?
[07:47] <susundberg> firstIRCtest: that link that pksadiq pasted is good, check that. Also, if you have several outputs you might want to try 'pavucontrol' program to specify what to use
[07:48] <teknova> does anyone know much about dual screening?
[07:48] <noisewaterphd> westz: hang on, I'll pastebin some instructions for you
[07:48] <jbu> Hi all, I realize I can modify fstab, but I remember ubuntu having a GUI utility to manage mount points and even a dialog that would ask if I wanted a partition mounted every startup - anyone know where I can find this?
[07:48] <susundberg> firstIRCtest: i am not too keen to check the script output as if the card worked on 10.04 it should by all means work also on 11.04 if this is not regression, that i do not belive it is.
[07:48] <sharat87> pksadiq: I have both liblua5.1-0-dev and liblua5.1-0 installed (am running maverick)
[07:49] <pksadiq> firstIRCtest: tried running /usr/bin/esd  ?
[07:49] <jbu> <- using 10.10
[07:49] <firstIRCtest> susunderburg: Okay.
[07:49] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq: let me try.
[07:49] <Jordan_U> sharat87: Why are you compiling imapfilter from source?
[07:49] <westz> noisewaterphd, i know how it works, something's got an error somewhere. if your tor is in /usr/bin then something borked when i installed vidalia, if its not, i just need the tor executable
[07:50] <westz> *i just need to redirect vidalia
[07:51] <sharat87> Jordan_U: to use it? wait, is there a package?
[07:51] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq: what is /usr/bin/esd, and how is it run?
[07:51] <babu> every time when i boot ubuntu, it says "Error loading Drive /.Press I to ignore".... But after booting, it mounts all drives..
[07:51] <noisewaterphd> westz: tor and vidalia executables are in the same directory together in the extracted folder from the archive you downloaded. there is nothing in usr/bin. I am pastebin you directions on how to set up your path
[07:51] <babu> i dunno the problem
[07:51] <babu> help!
[07:51] <Jordan_U> sharat87: Yes. Named "imapfilter".
[07:51] <noisewaterphd> westz, but if you dont want it, ive got other stuff to do
[07:51] <fuga> firstIRCtest: that is it kill it
[07:51] <westz> archive i downloaded from? i didnt download it myself, i used the USC
[07:52] <sharat87> Jordan_U: yes found, it sorry. Its at 2.2.2, latest is at 2.2.3. it has a change I'd like to have... so I have to compile it :)
[07:52] <Jordan_U> !prevu | sharat87
[07:52] <babu> what shld i do for this pblm
[07:52] <noisewaterphd> westz, well that is wrong
[07:53] <westz> i'll check out what you pastebin, but i dont think we're on the same page
[07:53] <noisewaterphd> westz, are you running 64bit or 32?
[07:53] <westz> 32
[07:53] <noisewaterphd> westz: download it here: https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/linux/tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-1.1.11-dev-en-US.tar.gz and extract it to wherever you want it
[07:54] <westz> i thought i left compiling from source when i left Arch.... oh well......
[07:55] <Jordan_U> !tor | westz
[07:55] <noisewaterphd> westz, you arent compiling anything
[07:55] <firstIRCtest> ubottu: Checking links...
[07:55] <noisewaterphd> westz just extract the archive
[07:55] <westz> Jordan_U, dude, i know what tor is
[07:56] <Jordan_U> westz: If you read the entire factoid it has a link with repositories containing tor packages.

[08:05] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq, susundberg, ubottu, I checked the links ubottu sent, and I'm finding something about IRQ channels. I did a diff on the output of /cat/proc/asound/cards and the IRQ channels are different. Does this mean anything?
[08:06] <teknova> mostly i need help getting ubnut to reconize them
[08:06] <pratz> noisewaterphd: permission denied
[08:06] <dr_Willis> rtorrent is in the repos morth
[08:06] <noisewaterphd> pratz: is this after multiple attempts at entering your password?
[08:06] <noisewaterphd> pratz: cause that means it's the wrong password
[08:07] <waldo__> hum, i only need some tips for troubleshooting why my connection stopped working all of sudden. Someone?
[08:07] <trevorj> Please, please tell me: WHY in the world does the ubuntu pastebin require me to login to download the contents (that I can already plainly see in front of me) as text?
[08:07] <trevorj> This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
[08:08] <pratz> noisewaterphd: thanks dude
[08:08] <noisewaterphd> trevorj: because they sell your personal data to china
[08:08] <susundberg> trevorj: dont know, use other pastebin?
[08:09] <westz> why must mcdonalds use b-band routersband routers are much cheaper now :(? g and n
[08:09] <trevorj> susundberg: I do, I'm just wondering what thought was involved in such a decision
[08:09] <waldo__> hum, is anybody seeing what I type or am i also having a problem with irc client on mac?
[08:09] <o2oo> thanks
[08:10] <susundberg> trevorj: yeah me too.. i decided to change my pastes to elswehere ..
[08:10] <waldo__> can you read this?
[08:11] <susundberg> waldo__: no
[08:11] <trevorj> susundberg: lol, good enough then. ty.
[08:11] <pratz> hey guys any good app to share screen between windows and linux ??
[08:11] <waldo__> haha, thanks. I thought it wasnt working
[08:11] <trevorj> pratz: oss?
[08:12] <knoppies> pratz, vnc? (or even RDP?) What do you mean by share screen?
[08:12] <trevorj> pratz: I haven't tried it but it looks really cool and is OSS, but I can't remember the name.. I think it's winswitch?
[08:12] <noisewaterphd> pratz: vnc
[08:13] <trevorj> pratz: http://winswitch.org/index.html
[08:13] <waldo__> so, if someone could help me with a strange problem in internet connection i would be grateful
[08:13] <morth> noisewaterphd i just downloaded rTorrent .tar.gz and extracted it to my desktop how do i install it :s
[08:13] <cpgo> has anyone successfully setup a dual boot with windows and a shared mysql data folder. I had mysql installed on windows already with tables made. Now in ubuntu I changed the datadir to the windows mount, I log into phpmyadmin and I see no databases listed
[08:14] <noisewaterphd> morth: I don't know
[08:14] <trevorj> pratz: it's like VNC (uses VNC on the backend) but for starting, sharing, displaying, and moving applications from one computer's desktop to another from windows/linux/mac
[08:14] <morth> noisewaterphd okay, thanks anyways
[08:14] <noisewaterphd> morth: i recommend: sudo apt-get install tramsmission
[08:15] <firstIRCtest> Anybody on the question about IRQ? What does this mean, and is it significant if the channel is different on this partition?
[08:15] <noisewaterphd> morth: better client, easier install
[08:15] <morth> transmission bittorrent client?
[08:15] <noisewaterphd> morth: transmission, sorry i spelled it wrong up there
[08:16] <susundberg> cpgo: are you sure installed windows and linux mysql servers are compatible?
[08:16] <noisewaterphd> morth: or, transmission is also just in the Ubuntu Software Center under Internet>File Sharing
[08:16] <susundberg> it might be that they work on very different basis because of efficiency issues or similar ..
[08:16] <noisewaterphd> morth: yes its a bittorrent client
[08:17] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: permissions, permissions, permissions
[08:19] <kelvinella> how to install backend for empathy?
[08:19] <kelvinella> i install empathy on my netbook which is running ubuntu8.04, but i can not connect because it said i need to install backend.  How to do that?
[08:19] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, I set to owner and group to mysql
[08:19] <knoppies> what does "apt-get check" do? If I add *.deb to /var/cache/apt/archives/ will "apt-get check" make apt aware that it doesnt have to download them?
[08:20] <trevorj> cpgo: the binary format is the same across OSes?
[08:20] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, also added the new dir to apparmor, restarting everything
[08:20] <cpgo> trevorj, that I don't know
[08:20] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: what filesystem is the datadir on
[08:20] <widewake> trying to turn off music to a DOS game, need help please, i tried locating it couldn't find any sound files.
[08:20] <trevorj> cpgo: I guess it would depend on the engine
[08:20] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, ntfs
[08:20] <cowboy_dan> this distro blows
[08:21] <xbob> lol
[08:21] <pratz> hey guys but VNC free edition does not provide the feature to share on windows 7
[08:21] <trevorj> ^ intelligent
[08:21] <trevorj> pratz: did you see the link I sent you
[08:21] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: cause that is where the issue lies. there is some problem with mysql on linux reading from ntfs
[08:21] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: dont remember the specifics
[08:22] <susundberg> cpgo, noisewaterphd wel googling gave me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3524203/linux-mysql-how-to-use-a-mysql-databases-on-a-mounted-ntfs-as-mysql-database-in
[08:22] <cowboy_dan> will ubuntu ever release an Arch based spin instead of the lame debian based ones?
[08:22] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, ok I just copied the datadir to my desktop (in Ubuntu)
[08:22] <cpgo> same issue
[08:22] <noisewaterphd> what is the error
[08:22] <pratz> trevorj: hold a sec i am installing it
[08:22] <cpgo> phpmyadmin shows no tables
[08:23] <Jordan_U> !ot | cowboy_dan
[08:23] <cowboy_dan> you could make an ext3 in the ntfs?
[08:23] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: your datadir should be portable, but trying to read it from the ntfs system is a road I wouldnt travel
[08:24] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: if you look in the datadir are they there?
[08:24] <cowboy_dan> cpgo: you can make a ext3/4 in the ntfs to store the data
[08:24] <stefan_> Hi, my pc does not boot from a SD Card, I have brought a Remastersys ISO on in with the startmedium creator. He boots from Harddrive instead. My PC can boot from SD and 30 minutes ago, it did. Then I had a "normal" Ubuntu 10.10 Iso on this SD Card. What can I do to find out, what the problem is?
[08:24] <kelvinella> anyone know how to make empathy work?
[08:24] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, yea my tables are in the datadir
[08:24] <kelvinella> in ubuntu8.04
[08:24] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: permissions then
[08:24] <cpgo> the datadir is now on a ext4 filesystem
[08:25] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: get a verbose startup log and pastebin it
[08:25] <cpgo> ok let me go through it all again
[08:25] <balaji_> when login as "ubuntu classic",title bar for windows is not coming. what may be the problem?
[08:25] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: also, you should take this to #mysql, I'll meet you over there
[08:25] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, ok
[08:26] <Starminn> balaji_: Do you have Compiz setting in effect, and/or Emerald themes?
[08:26] <cowboy_dan> how to install TWM?
[08:26] <noisewaterphd> balaji_: that question needs to be rephrased, it does not make sense
[08:26] <knoppies> balaji_, you need to have a WM (I assume its your WM) running. I use emerald (with compiz) on 10.10, not sure what to use on 11.04
[08:26] <cowboy_dan> Jordan_U: how to install TWM?
[08:26] <knoppies> noisewaterphd, I think the question was fine. Do you understand what a title bar is?
[08:26] <kelvinella> hello, anyone knows how to install a backend for each protocol for empathy?
[08:27] <noisewaterphd> no man, I have no idea
[08:27] <noisewaterphd> would it be a bar where titles are?
[08:27] <knoppies> kelvinella, if you "apt-get empathy" doesnt it resolve dependencies?
[08:27] <knoppies> noisewaterphd, yes, and the 3 buttons minimize, maximize, and close.
[08:27] <cowboy_dan> HOW TO INSTALL TWM?!!!
[08:28] <balaji_> starmin: i installed faenza theme, when using "ubuntu classic(no effects)" menu bar displays correctly
[08:28] <balaji_> noisewaterphd:sorry its menu bar
[08:28] <noisewaterphd> title bar for windows are not coming? coming from where? title bars for what windows? all windows?
[08:28] <Starminn> balaji_: Oh, you mean the one with "File, Edit, Tools," etc?
[08:28] <Jordan_U> cowboy_dan: Please don't use all caps.
[08:28] <balaji_> starminn:yeah
[08:28] <noisewaterphd> aha, see now we make sense
[08:28] <knoppies> cowboy_dan, relax, You could do yourself a favour by googling it, if twm is a package, then you could try "apt-get install twm" but idk what twm is.
[08:28] <cowboy_dan> Jordan_U: please help
[08:28] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, how would I get a verbose startup?
[08:29] <cowboy_dan> knoppies: tittled window manager
[08:29] <Jordan_U> cowboy_dan: I don't use TWM.
[08:29] <knoppies> balaji_, then my help with compiz/emerald would probably be of no use to you.
[08:29] <noisewaterphd> cowboy_dan: http://tinyurl.com/3vl9q9u
[08:29] <cowboy_dan> Jordan_U: what? is something wrong with it?
[08:29] <balaji_> noisewaterphd:sorry for my wrong phrase.
[08:30] <Jordan_U> cowboy_dan: Not that I know of. I just haven't had any interest in it myself.
[08:30] <sgo11> hello, how to change encoding in gedit? I failed to find this option. thanks. I used to using kate/kwrite, encoding change is very easy in kate/kwrite.
[08:30] <balaji_> knoppies:no problem
[08:31] <noisewaterphd> balaji_: no worries man. I was going after whoever it was passively insulting me by pretending the question was crystal clear. You are perfectly good man, and the question is now clear
[08:31] <cowboy_dan> noisewaterphd: you very kind
[08:31] <noisewaterphd> and funny
[08:32] <thrillERboy> Hi, I've setup conky on startup, but it appears on top of all windows, its quite annoying, how do I fix it? Thanks :)
[08:32] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: change you conkyrc
[08:32] <thrillERboy> cowboy_dan, what exactly should I change? I'm new to this stuff
[08:33] <cowboy_dan> cat ~/.conkyrc | grep window
[08:33] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, hey its 1 in the morning here, gonna call it a day. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
[08:33] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: should see own window type somewhere
[08:33] <cowboy_dan> change it to desktop, or overridde, or something that it isn't right now
[08:34] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: good luck, good night, were in the same time zone, MST?
[08:34] <balaji_> noisewaterphd:fine
[08:35] <thrillERboy> I don't see .conkyrc in user directory, I only have .conky directory under user directory
[08:35] <Jacek1988> hey guys. Every time I try to boot my ubuntu I get "failed to get i915 symbols". I've googled for the last hours and I found a few solutions but they all assume I can boot ubuntu, unfortunately I cant ...
[08:35] <noisewaterphd> Jacek1988: do you have multiple window managers installed
[08:35] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: pastebin it for me mate
[08:36] <noisewaterphd> like kubuntu and gnome and windowmaker?
[08:36] <cowboy_dan> .conky lets take a look at it
[08:36] <Jordan_U> Jacek1988: What version of Ubuntu? Have  you tried booting into recovery mode? (hold shift during boot to get the grub menu with recovery mode option).
[08:36] <Jacek1988> the newest one
[08:37] <Jacek1988> 11.X
[08:37] <Jacek1988> ok, I will try with shift
[08:37] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: bro....pastebin whatever your conky config file is
[08:37] <cowboy_dan> it should be conkyrc
[08:37] <thrillERboy> cowboy_dan, I've found own_window desktop in my config file and set it to desktop, Now My icons on desktop are gone :D should I do something with "own_window_type override" Now?
[08:38] <cowboy_dan> yeah try that
[08:38] <thrillERboy> what options does own_window_type take?
[08:38] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: i use openbox so i don't have to worry about eating desktop icons
[08:38]  * thrillERboy googles openbox
[08:39] <Jacek1988> @noise. I haven't installed any windowmaker myself, but maybe that was installed by default ?\
[08:39] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: own_window_type
[08:39] <cowboy_dan>     if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock, panel or override (default: normal). 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 edg
[08:39] <cowboy_dan> e is chosen based on the alignment option. Override windows are not under the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.

[08:42] <somestrangerinan> is anyone here that can help me with servers and clusters?
[08:42] <cowboy_dan> somestrangerinan: whats you issue
[08:42] <sgo11> hi, how to change encoding in gedit? is that possible? I can not find the option. thanks.
[08:42] <somestrangerinan> thanks cowboy_dan for replying so quickly
[08:42] <cowboy_dan> sgo11: what do you mean encoding?
[08:43] <somestrangerinan> cowboy_dan: I have 3 servers running ubuntu and i would like to make them into render farms, what are some good options I can pick from that will support 3d rendering
[08:43] <sgo11> cowboy_dan, utf-8, utf-16 etc...

[08:45] <pratz> hey guys i just need to share machine between two machines, i want to show my friend something on my screen, but should not be able to manupilate (take control)  my screen
[08:45] <Jacek1988> @Jordan_U Is there any way to change boot options in GRUB and start only the linux shell instead of X ?
[08:45] <cowboy_dan> sgo11: you probably don't need to do that?
[08:45] <Jordan_U> Jacek1988: That is what recovery mode does.
[08:45] <cowboy_dan> pratz: ask google
[08:45] <topriddy> my colleague at work messed up his windows partition boot sector after installing ubuntu 11. I cant remember the way to boot windows manually from grub. anybody help me pls?
[08:45] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: give me a second
[08:45] <somestrangerinan> cowboy_dan: we have 3 of theses
[08:46] <thrillERboy> np :)
[08:46] <Jordan_U> !google | cowboy_dan
[08:46] <pratz> cowboy_dan: if every thing is google then what the hell are we doing here ??
[08:46] <somestrangerinan> cowboy_dan: same specs
[08:46] <sgo11> cowboy_dan, I have many files with different encodings. if I don't do that, I can not open them. gedit will open everything in utf-8 only. in kate/kwrite, it's very easy, just tools-->encoding--> choose one. in gedit, I can not find such option. thanks.

[08:47] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: save the old conky config as conky.old

[08:48] <AFD> is it possible to remove avg on a mounted windows hdd using ubuntu?
[08:49] <Jordan_U> topriddy: If the Windows PBR is broken the only way to boot Windows from grub is by fixing the Windows PBR (*There is an undocumented work around as well if you really need it but fixing it properly is a better option).
[08:49] <knoppies> AFD, you mean other than just deleting the files?
[08:49] <ejv> whats avg...
[08:49] <AFD> yeah - I think there's more to it than that
[08:49] <knoppies> ejv, its a windows based antivirus.
[08:49] <ejv> eww
[08:49] <cowboy_dan> sgo11: than install kate
[08:49] <soon> Would someone try to reproduce a bug for me? I open LibreOffice Base, create a table and a form and when editing the form, I'm not able to select Controlelements as a visible toolbar
[08:50] <ejv> antivirus? we dont need no stinkin antivirus!
[08:50] <cowboy_dan> somestrangerinan: do you want this to be a linux based set up still?
[08:50] <knoppies> ejv, he was trying to 'remove' it

[08:50] <cowboy_dan> pratz: what are you trying to do again?
[08:50] <knoppies> AFD, could you not boot up the partition and then uninstall it using the traditional means?
[08:50] <ejv> it was a joke, s/antivirus/badges/g
[08:50] <somestrangerinan> yes cow
[08:50] <AFD> ejv: I'm a linux user (ElementaryOS) but the doofus I'm trying to help isn't (yet)
[08:50] <balooo> hi, does anyone know of a good light rss reader for ubuntu, that can be partially transparent and just float on top of your other applications with out getting in the way?   yarssr is the least intrusive rss reader i've been able to find so far.
[08:50] <somestrangerinan> yes cowboy_dan
[08:50] <sgo11> cowboy_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......
[08:51] <AFD> knoppies: avg is the reason I can't boot that hdd
[08:51] <knoppies> AFD, what is elementaryOS like? It looked like it had lots of potential.
[08:51] <cowboy_dan> somestrangerinan: you'll have better luck with this in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org --> not as noisy
[08:51] <somestrangerinan> thanks cowboy_dan
[08:51] <AFD> knoppies: it's stopping (even when trying in "safe mode") on a file that looks like it's avg
[08:52] <AFD> knoppies: eOS is great :) give it a whirl on liveUSB sometime... and look out for the new release Luna
[08:52] <cowboy_dan> pratz: http://digg.com/news/story/Remote_Desktop_for_Linux
[08:52] <soon> Anyone care to try and reproduce my bug? ...it'll take a minute or so..
[08:53] <furibondox> hi...
[08:53] <knoppies> AFD, 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_dan> somestrangerinan: #pimpmymint might be even better
[08:53] <Starminn> soon: If you walk me through how I'd be mroe than happy to do so. I have created a table and a form, but what about controlelemnts? I know nothing about Base.

[08:54] <Jacek1988> @Jordan_U: thanks anyway for  help. It seems that without access to recovery mode I cannot even run the console so the only way is to reinstall the system ... next time I will have to use GIT to my ruby projects

[08:58] <knoppies> stefan_, I have never managed to boot from an SD card (I mainly got IO errors I think).
[08:58] <Starminn> jfcaron: Wait a little longer. This channel moves fast so don't worry about it being that far up. Wait until it jumps again of equal distance

[08:59] <furibondox> anyone knows how to extract the license from a deb package?
[08:59] <ejv> morth: do you have openssl installed?
[08:59] <thrillERboy> cowboy_dan, That worked perfectly, wondering what you changed, I didn't want you to bug you asking that, So, I tried diff conkyrc_lunatico conkyrc_lunatico.old. The output is not what I expected. How can I view diff between two files in terminal, Kinda like diff in Git. Thanks
[08:59] <stefan_> knoppies, well, should  I give it a try on DVD? I have  a dozen here
[08:59] <thrillERboy> didn't want to bug you*
[08:59] <morth> ejv im new to ubuntu, so im assuming i don't
[08:59] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: all i did was change the window type to override and deleted the line for own_window_hints
[08:59] <ejv> morth: sudo apt-get install openssl
[09:00] <knoppies> furibondox, 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] <thrillERboy> oh great, thanks a ton cowboy_dan

[09:00] <furibondox> tnx knoppies, I try with apt-cache

[09:01] <soon> Starminn .. thats what I'm finding .. weird.
[09:01] <soon> Not just my installation then - thanks!
[09:01] <knoppies> stefan_, 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] <ejv> morth: if you are compiling and it's complaining about openssl, then it wants developer libraries, $ sudo apt-get install openssl-devel
[09:02] <morth> E: Unable to locate package openssl-devel
[09:02] <cowboy_dan> fagbuntu
[09:03] <knoppies> morth, 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-dev
[09:03] <ejv> it might be called openssl-dev not openssl-devel, i really have no idea, i don't use ubuntu
[09:04] <thrillERboy> Hi, How Do I view Diff between two text files in Terminal?
[09:04] <morth> knoppies & ejv E: Unable to locate package openssl-dev
[09:04] <ejv> just learn to troubleshoot
[09:04] <knoppies> morth try  libglobus-openssl-dev
[09:04] <jfcaron> Whenever I run apt-get, I get an error message: "WARNING: /usr/share/pyshared/papyon-0.4.6.egg-info is linked but does not belong to any package."  I tried apt-get --reinstalling python-papyon, with no luck.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of this error message?
[09:04] <ejv> i think he has a repo problem
[09:04] <ejv> what repo's do you have enabled morth
[09:04] <knoppies> jfcaron, you could try purge and then install it again, but tbh, I have no idea.
[09:04] <ejv> if you can't answer that, fire up synaptic, and located openssl dev that way ;)
[09:05] <morth> knoppies that worked
[09:05] <ejv> s/located/locate/
[09:05] <knoppies> morth, come back if it does not solve your ./configure problem.
[09:05] <ejv> oh so knoppies gets all the credit huh? fine! :p
[09:05] <knoppies> ejv, you didnt highlight his name. THANK YOU.
[09:06] <knoppies> and thank you pksadiq for finding the package.
[09:06] <ejv> highlighting is overrated :p
[09:06] <pksadiq> jfcaron: try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[09:07] <ejv> im willing to bet rtorrent is packaged into a nice pretty .deb somewhere... which begs the question... why on earth is he bothering to compile it...
[09:07] <pksadiq> !find rtorrent
[09:07] <jfcaron> knoppies: After apt-get purging python-papyon, I still got the error afterwards, and the file mentioned still exists (along with some dpkg scripts).  Do you think I can just rm the leftover files?
[09:07] <pksadiq> !info rtorrent
[09:08] <morth> knoppies & ejv http://paste.ubuntu.com/634101/
[09:08] <knoppies> jfcaron, I recomend you move them, so that you can move them back in case something goes wrong.
[09:08] <jfcaron> pksadiq: Running that command seemed to do nothing, there was no output.
[09:08] <morth> ejv you get credit too :p
[09:08] <pksadiq> jfcaron: k, also try sudo apt-get install -f
[09:08] <ejv> morth: ok install that
[09:09] <knoppies> morth, now you need to find the -dev of sigc++
[09:09] <darkenergy> how can I print my server name on cli?
[09:09] <ejv> morth: if it says "$DEPENDENCY not found' locate it and install it
[09:09] <knoppies> darkenergy, hostname
[09:09] <pksadiq> !find sigc++
[09:09] <dr_Willis> what we compuling?
[09:10] <ejv> rtorrent apparently
[09:10] <knoppies> dr_Willis, you mean morth? rtorrent I think.
[09:10] <pksadiq> morth: try asking ubottu for the packages, mostly its better to get the compiled thing you need
[09:10] <stefan_> knoppies, I made a Startmedium with the Startmediumcreater. That should "transform" the CD Card to a bootable Medium. Well, it should :D
[09:10] <knoppies> morth, unless you HAVE to compile it, it might be easier to do apt-get install rtorrent
[09:10] <pksadiq> !info rtorrent > morth
[09:10] <dr_Willis> its in the repos.. or use the build-deps option to pull in all needed devs
[09:10] <ejv> that would be too easy
[09:11] <ejv> :)
[09:11] <knoppies> dr_Willis, what build-deps option?
[09:11] <dr_Willis> apt-get build-deos rtorrent
[09:11] <dr_Willis> oopd typo
[09:11] <dr_Willis> apt is fun
[09:11] <knoppies> dr_Willis, thank you. I learnt something today.
[09:11] <balaji_> when using "ubuntu classic",menu bar is not displaying.. what may be the problem? if it was the problem in my system,how can i reinstall gnome
[09:12] <dr_Willis> the fact iys in the repos makes life easier
[09:12] <knoppies> dr_Willis, I have been trying to create a local repo of some files I downloaded from a server and then copied to my machine. Little luck. apt is very fun.
[09:12] <morth> okay, sorry what?
[09:12] <sgo11> hi, for photo browser, I used to gthumb. I am wondering if there is any better one now? thanks.
[09:13] <dr_Willis> rtorrent ppa ptobrly exisys also
[09:13] <knoppies> morth do you HAVE to compile rtorrent from scratch? If yes, then try apt-get build-deps rtorrent
[09:13] <morth> lmao, im new to ubuntu i installed it this morning, and the "guide" from the net says to do ./configure and such but fails lol
[09:14] <jfcaron> knoppies, pksadiq: After doing some unremembered combination of commands (including moving the offending file to a temporary location), the error message is now gone.
[09:14] <knoppies> how do I ping an ip range (to find all machines online (or at least all IPs online). sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-254 doesnt seem to do anything.
[09:14] <knoppies> jfcaron, glad we could help. I hope we haven't broken anything else on your machine.
[09:14] <jfcaron> I 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. =p
[09:14] <morth> knoppies stupid question but how do i KNOW if i HAVE to compile it or not?
[09:15] <lonix> morth: then you dont
[09:16] <morth> what do i do then?.. :s
[09:16] <lonix> morth: you need to compile from source if you are useing a non default build, i.e. inserting anything into rtorrent
[09:16] <knoppies> morth, 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 rtorrent
[09:16] <dr_Willis> why havent you just used the version in the repos.
[09:16] <lonix> morth: sudo apt-get install rtorrent
[09:16] <lonix> knoppies: you forgot sudo :P
[09:16] <jfcaron> morth: The only times I've ever had to compile something were when there was no package available in the repositories.
[09:16] <knoppies> lonix, thanks.
[09:16] <dr_Willis> its not like a new version has a lot of new features
[09:17] <lonix> moslty the precompiled bin will work just fine...
[09:17] <morth> lols... rtorrent is already the newest version.
[09:17] <morth> does that mean its already installed? :s
[09:18] <lonix> yes
[09:18] <dr_Willis> morth:  so run it..
[09:18] <dr_Willis> read its docs first
[09:18] <dr_Willis> you do relize rtorrent is a cli app
[09:19] <lonix> i dont know rtorrent in particular, but i presume the docs will help you create a config file for later use ?
[09:19] <dr_Willis> rtorrent is not very beginner frienfly. why are you even wantint it?
[09:20] <morth> dr_willis yes i do realize rtorrent is a CLi app, even though my skills are beginner im hoping its going to improve my overall skills with ubuntu etc.
[09:20] <lonix> is this a ubuntu server or desktop ?
[09:20] <morth> desktop
[09:20] <bumknees> #stumpwm
[09:20] <dr_Willis> torrent some bash guides.. heh..
[09:20] <lonix> hehe
[09:20] <Starminn> dr_Willis: By the way, my Banshee issue lately with the errors? It was solved using what's on the bottom of this page (for future reference if other people experience the same)
[09:20] <pksadiq> dr_Willis: YOU are having *alot* of experience, but still along many typos :-O
[09:21] <morth> actually my first torrent was going to be Unix Power Tools
[09:21] <dr_Willis> pksadiq:  im on my android phone
[09:21] <dr_Willis> still not found a good bt keybord for it
[09:22] <morth> dr_willis how do i run it?
[09:22] <lonix> Im still waiting for Ubuntu 11.04 Phone Edition
[09:22] <dr_Willis> or even an affordable one
[09:22] <lonix> "the Ultimate replacment for android"
[09:22] <dr_Willis> morth:  man rtorrent
[09:22] <morth> nevermind figured it out lol "rtorrent run"
[09:23] <dr_Willis> with rtorrent you Will read the docs. or give up using it. heh..

[09:27] <lonix> how can i use " in sed ?
[09:28] <Jordan_U> lonix: sed 's/"/that was a quote/g'
[09:28] <darshan> hello
[09:28] <dr_Willis>  /" \"
[09:28] <dr_Willis> i get them backeards
[09:29] <lonix>  sed 's/$/\"/'
[09:29] <lonix> should work ?
[09:29] <darshan> i was wondering where Empathy puts the conversation logs in the last ubuntu
[09:30] <Jordan_U> lonix: Yes, though the '\' is redundant.
[09:30] <lonix> Jordan_U: do you have a few mins to check out a simple script, im having troubble with ?
[09:31] <Jordan_U> lonix: I need to leave in about 2 minutes but post a link to a pastebin of the script and someone else will likely be able to help.
[09:31] <epzil0n> darshan: what do you mean by in the last ubuntu?
[09:31] <fajri> see http://goo.gl/TAyvJ
[09:32] <vivekimsit> any one here working on openerp?
[09:32] <fajri> Pastes to http://goo.gl/ixcN9
[09:32] <lonix> Jordan_U: kk
[09:32] <darshan> e mean 11.04
[09:32] <lonix> http://pastebin.com/n9PL73vR
[09:32] <epzil0n> darshan: can't you see that in settings?
[09:32] <OssNassr> Hello!!:)
[09:32] <lonix> This script seems to work perfectly untill it encounters folders with " " space in its name
[09:32] <jussi> vivekimsit: working on? or using?
[09:32] <jussi> vivekimsit: what is your real question? :)
[09:33] <OssNassr> I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop
[09:33] <vivekimsit> hm..actually i want technical assistance
[09:33] <vivekimsit> in coding part..
[09:33] <lonix> OssNassr: what seems to be the problem ?
[09:33] <darshan> epzil0n, no, i did not find it
[09:33] <jussi> vivekimsit: do they not have a channel?
[09:33] <OssNassr> which is ASUS X61SL with Intel Core 2duo p8400 processor
[09:33] <kiichiro> hey
[09:33] <ejv> !enter | OssNassr
[09:33] <OssNassr> but i can't make it run after the  installation is complete
[09:34] <vivekimsit> they have but i can hardly 9 people
[09:34] <epzil0n> darshan: ok, should be there.. i'm not in ubuntu now so can't check but i can log into ubuntu and have a look
[09:34] <kiichiro> is there a way to view the processes that are running
[09:35] <jussi> vivekimsit: its probably wrong place to ask here, this is really for ubuntu support.
[09:35] <Jordan_U> lonix: 1: It should be "#!/bin/bash" not "!/bin/sh". 2: Use find's -exec feature to completely replace the for loop.
[09:35] <darshan> kiichiro, ps ax
[09:35] <epzil0n> kiichiro: type top in a terminal
[09:35] <vivekimsit> hmm..i know
[09:35] <Jordan_U> lonix: You can get more help in ##bash as well. Good luck.
[09:35] <lonix> OssNassr: what do you mean it wont work ? can you be any more spesific
[09:35] <lonix> Jordan_U: cheers ;)
[09:35] <OssNassr> inorder to make the live CD starts or to run the installtion I had to use the advanced option acpi=off but I can't tell the system after being installed to work
[09:35] <kiichiro> is there a way to stop a process than?
[09:36] <epzil0n> kiichiro: yes by it's PID you see it with top
[09:36] <kiichiro> like is it stop #####
[09:36] <OssNassr> inorder to make the live CD starts or to run the installtion I had to use the advanced option acpi=off but I can't tell the system after being installed to work
[09:36] <kiichiro> or is it kill
[09:36] <epzil0n> kiichiro: then type: kill 1234
[09:36] <kiichiro> mkay thank you very much
[09:37] <lonix> acpi=off was set in the boot loader for the live cd ?
[09:38] <darshan> any idea?
[09:38] <epzil0n> darshan: looking..
[09:38] <lonix> OssNassr: In that case, tyr booting Ubuntu with the same option, in the bootloader for the local driver where you have ubuntu installed
[09:38] <brez> Hi, I installed 'eggrop' via apt-get... where would this of installed, so I can locate the .conf? thanks.
[09:39] <darshan> epzil0n, thanks
[09:39] <OssNassr> How?
[09:40] <lonix> OssNassr: Same way you did for livecd, or am i missing something here ?
[09:40] <epzil0n> darshan: can't see it in settings, only that you can enable/disable the logging
[09:40] <morth> woot using rtorrent like a pro ;)
[09:40] <lonix> morth: good...
[09:41] <glaksmono_> how do you change folder's permission to: drwxrwxr-x  33 nobody     nobody  1122 Jun 27 17:20 templates_c ???
[09:41] <darshan> epzil0n, foud it! /home/darshan/.local/share/TpLogger/logs/
[09:41] <glaksmono_> it's chown?
[09:41] <epzil0n> darshan: hehe, i was just digging in the home dir.. great =)
[09:41] <lonix> glaksmono_: chown = change owner chgrp = change grou chmod = change mod
[09:42] <OssNassr> In live CD I clicked the arrow keys and a menu appeared there I found the other option choice (key F6) and I used it ,I tried with the system after it got installed by pressing 'e' inorder to modify the booting options but It didn't work
[09:42] <lonix> glaksmono_: chown can cange group as well i.e.: chown user:group file/folder
[09:42] <darshan> what a awful format! xml...
[09:43] <epzil0n> darshan: yeah i'm looking at it ;)
[09:43] <lonix> glaksmono_: chmod root:admin templates_c
[09:43] <jtannenbaum> okay, so in my /etc/hosts file I have a bunch of lines 127.0.0.1 [domain name]. Now, the domain name of the topmost line of that type is reflected in my POST data when I visit websites it seems
[09:44] <jtannenbaum> POST['SERVER_NAME']
[09:44] <jtannenbaum> according to django at least
[09:44] <jtannenbaum> this makes my POST["TZ"] as Chicago for some reason
[09:44] <lonix> OssNassr: what happend when you presed e
[09:45] <darshan> ok, i also need a decent dictionary utility (not a spellcheck) there was a good one some version ago
[09:45] <LegGnom> Есть кто на русском бачит?
[09:45] <epzil0n> darshan: elementary uses purple
[09:45] <knoppies> I have installed ubuntu server (the LTS version, Im not sure if its 10.04) on an old machine. the hostname of the machine is safn. I cannot seem to do safn.local (but typing in the IP works). Does anybody know how to fix this (I have apache installed, if that makes a difference)
[09:46] <lonix> knoppies: how does you /etc/hosts look like
[09:46] <knoppies> lonix, let me check.
[09:46] <epzil0n> darshan: but they will move to Lingo.. anyways elementary os builds upon ubuntu so they probably work
[09:47] <lonix> knoppies: check /etc/hostname while your at it
[09:47] <knoppies> lonix, I almost pasted it in here, let me pastbin it.
[09:47] <OssNassr> after the installation was compeleted I restarted the laptop as instructed the when it came to boot it didn't  and I wated for ours ,so I used the power button to shutdown the laptop and then started it again then it gave me a menu with for option : normal startup ,recovery mode,and two options about memory testing so I selected the first option and pressed 'e' to edit the boot parameters and inserted acpi=off then I pressed 'F10' b
[09:48] <OssNassr> hours
[09:48] <OssNassr> four
[09:48] <morth> anyone know if its possible to convert your cookies/history/saved passwords from Windows Firefox to Ubuntu?
[09:48] <Starminn> morth: Just use Firefox Sync..
[09:49] <knoppies> lonix, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/634126/
[09:49] <lonix> OssNassr: What next ?
[09:49] <morth> starminn is that just Firefox inmport/export?
[09:49] <ypk> hi, my pc is restarting after loading the initrd / ramdisk file, any clue how to fix that?
[09:50] <OssNassr> nothing just black screen with flashing white pointer and it didn't go or change
[09:50] <lonix> knoppies: you are trying to mage safn.local refer to self right ?
[09:50] <Starminn> morth: 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 like
[09:50] <knoppies> lonix, 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)
[09:51] <lonix> knoppies: make*
[09:51] <amit> hii
[09:51] <amit> I accidently deleted my movie files
[09:51] <knoppies> lonix, 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] <amit> can I recover them anyway
[09:51] <amit> it happened just now
[09:51] <FloodBot1> amit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:51] <knoppies> lonix, yes. let me see what the /etc/hosts file looks like on my laptop, maybe changing 127.0.0.1 to safn might help.
[09:52] <darshan> epzil0n, ?
[09:52] <lonix> knoppies: no
[09:52] <epzil0n> darshan: software center got a bunch of them, just search dictionary.. donno which one is good tho, i use purple in elementary os ;)
[09:52] <knoppies> lonix, my laptop has this at the top of the /etc/hosts file: 192.168.101.111	klap	# Added by NetworkManager
[09:52] <knoppies> lonix, klap being the hostname. It also has these: 127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
[09:53] <epzil0n> darshan: didn't find it software center, purple that is
[09:53] <lonix> knoppies: so lets se you have 2 hosts, klap and safn right ? and you want to type safn.local from klap ?
[09:53] <amit> can I recover them anyway
[09:53] <knoppies> epzil0n, you might be looking for libpurple?
[09:53] <knoppies> lonix, yes.
[09:54] <knoppies> lonix, I can type in klap.local on safn.
[09:54] <lonix> knoppies: on safn edit /etc/hosts and add this line
[09:55] <lonix> knoppies: ip.of.safn safn.local
[09:55] <epzil0n> knoppies: no, purple is a dictionary in elementary os.. but if you check their site it says Lingo
[09:55] <zeroedout> amit depends on your filesystem
[09:55] <OssNassr> lonix: are you there?
[09:55] <zeroedout> amit: what filesystem were those movies on? ext4? ntfs? fat32?
[09:56] <lonix> knoppies: arrgh to much noise here...
[09:56] <epzil0n> knoppies: so i'm guessing that they will move to Lingo with future release
[09:56] <lonix> OssNassr: sorry, yes...
[09:56] <epzil0n> knoppies: http://elementaryos.org/discover
[09:56] <lonix> OssNassr: Try useing the recovery feature
[09:56] <knoppies> lonix, if the IP is set by DHCP, is there a way to make sure that the IP stays with my DHCP lease?
[09:56] <OssNassr> lonix: it didn't start either
[09:57] <knoppies> lonix, or would I be forced to set a reserved IP in the DHCP server (or whatever they call them, kinda like a static IP)
[09:57] <MagePsycho> how to search the .svn files and delete them?
[09:58] <zeroedout> amit: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery I like foremost my self, but photorec is supposed to be good as well
[09:58] <amit> zeroedout: they were on ext4
[09:58] <epzil0n> darshan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/install-purple-dictionary-elementary-project-ubuntu-ppa/
[09:58] <zeroedout> amit: foremost is probably your best bet then
[09:59] <knoppies> MagePsycho, 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] <zeroedout> amit: just don't write anything else to the drive until you have recovered your files
[09:59] <lonix> knoppies: and OssNassr i have to go im really sorry, but repost your questions, i promise someone will help you out.
[09:59] <MagePsycho> hey knoppies can yougive me the exact command for the purpose please
[09:59] <zeroedout> amit: like, stop using the harddrive now and plug into another machine for recovery if possible
[09:59] <amit> zeroedout: how can I use foremost? I have it
[09:59] <knoppies> lonix, thank you. You have been such a help.
[09:59] <epzil0n> darshan: the PPA is for Maverick but it should work in Natty
[09:59] <morth> starminn will firefox sync work if from windows to ubuntu?
[09:59] <darshan> epzil0n, thank you
[10:00] <Starminn> morth: worked for me
[10:00] <epzil0n> darshan: np ;)
[10:00] <morth> starminn do i have to go on my windows atall or can i do this all by ubuntu
[10:00] <zeroedout> amit: 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 guides
[10:00] <knoppies> MagePsycho, I meant to imply that I do not know the exact command. You could try something like: rm -R path/to/directory *.svn
[10:01] <Starminn> morth: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync
[10:01] <knoppies> MagePsycho, WAIT.
[10:01] <amit> zeroedout: ok
[10:01] <amit> thank you
[10:01] <knoppies> MagePsycho, dont do that, I made a mistake.
[10:01] <MagePsycho> thanks
[10:01] <MagePsycho> oh
[10:01] <abstrusenick> why doesnlt /bin/sh -l execute .profile file?
[10:02] <abstrusenick> why doesn;t /bin/sh -l execute .profile file?
[10:02] <knoppies> MagePsycho, cd into the parent directory of your .svn files and then try: rm -r *.svn
[10:02] <morth> starminn ty
[10:03] <MagePsycho> ok knoppies
[10:03] <MagePsycho> rm -r or rm -rf ?
[10:03] <knoppies> MagePsycho, do you know how to use manpages?
[10:05] <knoppies> MagePsycho, 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] <knoppies> MagePsycho, you could also do -rfv and it will tell you everything that it does.
[10:05] <MagePsycho> thanks knoppies
[10:06] <knoppies> MagePsycho, pleasure. Do you know how to use man pages? try: man rm
[10:06] <morth> Starminn will this be able to work if my other OS is not on?
[10:06] <MagePsycho> nope
[10:06] <MagePsycho> man = manual?
[10:07] <Starminn> morth: Your settings/history/bookmarks are stored on a server over at Mozilla.
[10:07] <morth> starminn OHH okay, makes perfect sense thanks
[10:07] <Starminn> morth: So if you do something on Ubuntu, then next time you sign on with Windows it will carry over. Do something on Windows, and it will reflect on Ubuntu (and any mobile devices oyu have it on)
[10:08] <morth> starminn cool brb to sync on windows

[10:13] <ahmtfth> hey
[10:13] <ahmtfth> can i ask somethin?
[10:14] <totem> !ask | ahmtfth
[10:15] <epzil0n> tarvid: bookmark it
[10:15] <darshan> wrote a dirty ruby script to convert empathy xml log to htm
[10:16] <jtannenbaum> anyone know why the timezone of the POST data in my browsers America/Chicago when it's supposed to be New York?
[10:16] <epzil0n> tarvid: then you can change the name of the bookmark
[10:16] <gry> jtannenbaum: Can you check your IP whois? Get the IP at www.whatismyip.com and it would likely display what country it's in. Sometimes you can find yourself using a proxy in another area.
[10:19] <epzil0n> darshan: nice =)
[10:20] <weefee> how can I stop gnome but stay connected to wifi?
[10:20] <yunosh> hi, is anybody else getting 404s for changelogs from natty-proposed?
[10:21] <epzil0n> weefee: huh, don't understand what you mean?
[10:21] <weefee> ok I'm trying to install nvidia drivers
[10:21] <weefee> and it tells me I can't be running X
[10:21] <epzil0n> weefee: mm
[10:22] <weefee> when I kill X, it drops to a black screen with no console
[10:22] <weefee> I could do it remotely, but apparently it kills the connection to wifi when gnome dies
[10:23] <epzil0n> weefee: ok, but why do you need wifi when you are installing graphic drivers?
[10:23] <keithb> weefee: does ctrl-alt-F1 give you a login screen?
[10:23] <weefee> so I can run the command
[10:23] <weefee> I'll try
[10:24] <Starminn> epzil0n: To download the drivers or update them, perhaps? *shrug*
[10:24] <nad> hi, when doing 'bzr launchpad-login <myUsername>' from the terminal I get the following error regarding proxy auth:'bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: curl connection error (Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT)'. New to ubuntu dev, using natty. Added my ssh key to launchpad successfully. Any ideas? http_proxy env variable is set
[10:24] <weefee> ok that worked but the driver installation failed
[10:25] <epzil0n> Starminn: :D
[10:25] <keithb> weefee: try rebooting into single user mode, nvidia won't let you install if the nvidia module is loaded
[10:26] <weefee> gtx295 work on ubuntu?
[10:26] <weefee> single user mode how?
[10:26] <nad> i am able to authenticate in my browser etc, so proxy credentials and setup are correct
[10:27] <keithb> weefee: at the boot screen you should get a second line which is your current krnel but in maintenance mode
[10:27] <weefee> I have recovery mode
[10:27] <weefee> ok
[10:27] <keithb> weefee: that's it
[10:28] <keithb> weefee: you will boot as root so be careful
[10:28] <MagePsycho> can anyone tell me how to delete all tables within a db
[10:28] <weefee> no worries
[10:28] <MagePsycho> fyi, my db has 400 tables
[10:28] <shane_> MagePsycho: DROP (table); CREATE TABLE (table);
[10:28] <Starminn> MagePsycho: Maybe DROP * ?
[10:28] <nad> MagePsycho: drop database
[10:28] <weefee> I'm ignorant but not unbearably so
[10:29] <MagePsycho> i am unable to create database so.. drop database wont work
[10:29] <MagePsycho> only i need to drop tables
[10:29] <shane_> MagePsycho: Sorry, like this:   DROP TABLE (table); CREATE TABLE (table);
[10:29] <MagePsycho> how to drop all the tables
[10:29] <MagePsycho> like using wildcard :) DROP * TABLES
[10:29] <shane_> MagePsycho: Then like this:   DROP DATABASE (table); CREATE DATABASE (table);
[10:30] <nad> MagePsycho: 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 mysql
[10:30] <MagePsycho> since user is associated with that table
[10:30] <nad> hi, when doing 'bzr launchpad-login <myUsername>' from the terminal I get the following error regarding proxy auth:'bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: curl connection error (Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT)'. New to ubuntu dev, using natty. Added my ssh key to launchpad successfully. Any ideas? http_proxy env variable is set
[10:30] <Starminn> MagePsycho: Only way wild card would make sense is DROP TABLE * I think but I don't know if that would work.
[10:31] <Starminn> Been awhile and my DB stuffz is rusty.
[10:31] <weefee> bleh, failed
[10:31] <weefee> said to get out of runlevel 1 and telinit 3
[10:31] <weefee> did that and script still failed
[10:32] <shane_> Starminn: I tried that, which didnt work.
[10:32] <shane_> MagePsycho: Just drop then recreate the database
[10:33] <nad> MagePsycho, Shane: sounds like a privileges issue. You cannot drop/create if you dont have the correct privileges
[10:34] <bob77> I have two identical ssh sessions opened. one is very slow (in the sense of char echo) and one is normal. how can this happen?
[10:34] <shane_> MagePsycho: Sorry I missed the issue with priveliges. What method are you using to run your SQL?
[10:40] <speakman> how do I remotely re-mount an SD-card just being manually umount'ed?
[10:41] <lonix> mount -a ?
[10:41] <speakman> lonix: doesn't it require it being mentioned in /etc/fstab?
[10:41] <jpds> speakman: Yes.
[10:41] <lonix> that is if it is in fstab
[10:41] <speakman> I want it to be mounted as the user
[10:42] <speakman> as if you just put the card back in the machine
[10:42] <speakman> ubuntu will auto-mount it
[10:42] <speakman> with the current user's ownership
[10:42] <jpds> speakman: Reopen it from the File Manager.
[10:42] <jpds> Oh, remotely.
[10:43] <speakman> ssh :p
[10:43] <jpds> speakman: ssh -X and run nautilus.
[10:43] <dodino> guys, exist a simple method to have an USB stick with Ubuntu bootable in a macbook? i tried more ways but the result it's always the same "no bootable device found" (with rEFIt of course) ...
[10:43] <shane_> dodino: Are you booting as USB-HDD?
[10:44] <speakman> jpds: it's not visible in natulius when umounted once
[10:44] <dodino> tell me that someone has done it because I find many howto online which unfortunately do not work
[10:44] <dodino> shane_: it's an USB stick, a corsair voyager gt 16GB
[10:45] <shane_> dodino: When you boot, do you select USB-HDD as your boot option? It should be something along the lines of USB-HDD to boot operating systems from a USB
[10:45] <speakman> any ideas?
[10:45] <speakman> isn't ubuntu using pmount or something?
[10:45] <jpds> speakman: No.
[10:45] <speakman> or can I re-trigger the "pluggin in the SD-card" event?
[10:46] <dodino> shane_: with rEFIt i can see my USB stick but when I try to boot it, the result it's "no bootable device"...
[10:46] <shahuaka> Hello!
[10:46] <jpds> speakman: Run palimpsest and see if it's been powered off.
[10:47] <GreenNerd> I've been up all night with WGET.  Can someone please tell me how to go to a website that has a search engine, input my parameters, and then pass them through WGET?  I have to download a file, and can't seem to get it to work if I request too much data, but the problem is... I need that data to download as an excel spreadsheet or an access database.  Either way, the site is http://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/general_user/search  .  I can d
[10:47] <GreenNerd> ownload the spreadsheet when I use the default parameters, but if I add any new ones, I get an error 500.  I have no idea what to do.  I truly need this info,and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help.  I will do my best to refrain from spamming this, but I truly need this file in the next two hours...  :'(
[10:47] <FloodBot1> GreenNerd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:47] <dodino> shane_: i think it's a problem relative the partition table and/or partition's filesystem..
[10:48] <MagePsycho> hi guys..
[10:48] <shane_> dodino: I can not be sure. I do not use macs. If it was not that then I can not help you any further sorry
[10:48] <speakman> jpds: trying "Mount Volume" which gives me "Not Authorized"
[10:48] <shane_> MagePsycho: Any luck?
[10:48] <MagePsycho> rm -rf *.svn only works for current directory
[10:48] <GreenNerd> The problem happens when I click "Export to Access".  The whole freakin site is .asp and .js!  I can't get anything to function in a conventional manner.  Can someone learn me to hack?

[10:50] <speakman> and by the way -- it looks like my systray is lost. At least it doesn't show my Skype icon any longer
[10:50] <weefee> GreenNerd: don't have access to a windows machine to get the file?
[10:50] <speakman> ...which makes me unable to open Skype when all windows are closed
[10:51] <GreenNerd> The file I want is public on a .gov server.
[10:51] <kubanc> anyone familiar with this error: gimpshop: maintainer-address-missing giuliastro
[10:51] <shane_> MagePsycho: What is the output of rm?
[10:51] <GreenNerd> weefee, the file is on a .gov server.  The data I am pulling is all public, but the .js and .asp is mucking everything up, bad.
[10:51] <weefee> can't you just get it from a windows machine?
[10:52] <shane_> speakman: Just add notification area back to your panel :)
[10:52] <GreenNerd> It won't even DL.  I get an 500 error.
[10:52] <GreenNerd> 500 Internal
[10:52] <GreenNerd> It is bizzare
[10:52] <MagePsycho> there was no any output

[10:54] <susundberg> find . -iname "*.svn" | xargs rm -rf

[10:55] <GreenNerd> weefee, if you go to http://vip.vetbiz.gov/general_user/search/ then click on CUSTOMIZED SEARCH, it makes a larger form.  Down at the bottom, you can shift+click the "Step 3 - Specify Fields(s) to Display:" box.  I want all of the options selected.  The data works, because I can see a preview screen once I click "search", but I just can't download the appropriately formatted files.  This is complicated.  Thx for being paitent.  :)

[10:59] <DroidAgent> Hi, I'd like to create a bootable USB install for Ubuntu server... http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download has instructions for Win, Mac and Ubuntu but not for Linux distros other than Ubuntu... do I need to convert the .iso to .img on Linux and if yes, how?
[11:00] <weefee> GreenNerd: I don't think you'll be able to make that work, looks like a big problem on your end, I think your best bet is to parse the html somehow
[11:00] <weefee> on their end*
[11:00] <GreenNerd> weefee, I've tried lots of stuff.  What do you specifically suggest?
[11:00] <shane_> MagePsycho: Try rm -fr *.svn - I dont know if it will do anything but you can try :) It can either work or not
[11:01] <weefee> that's beyond my scope, but I bet there are some ubernerds that could whip up a script that will whip that data into shape right quick
[11:02] <speakman> shane_: notification area?
[11:02] <speakman> found it, but no differencs
[11:02] <shane_> speakman: To recover your skype icons and all :)
[11:03] <pRoV7x>  DroidAgent: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/, this might help you.
[11:03] <speakman> shane_: nothing different - all blank :(
[11:03] <MagePsycho> find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \;
[11:03] <MagePsycho> will this work: find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \;
[11:03] <shane_> speakman: Do you have skype up?
[11:03] <speakman> shane_: yes
[11:03] <shane_> MagePsycho: Possibly
[11:05] <MagePsycho> find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \; works like a charm
[11:06] <morth> i came across something nifty, if you're a irssi user you might wanna check this out http://pcatr.im/E0
[11:08] <shane_> speakman: Do you have anything else that should have icons? For example network manager?

[11:12] <iljo> hello
[11:12] <shane_> iljo: Hello
[11:13] <iljo> i have a question, i am looking for software, which would let my mouse clicks simulate keyboard buttons
[11:13] <iljo> anything like that out there?
[11:14] <phux> iljo, check orca
[11:14] <iljo> thanks phux, will check it out
[11:15] <phux> think its default in ubuntu11.04
[11:15] <glontu> hi
[11:15] <Nephro> Hi! Anyone had this trouble: when I start up skype, the pc starts working very slowly, everything is tearing, lagging etc... This continues for about a minute, then everything is back to normal
[11:15] <Hyperi> Hi, I'm wondering why default installation of Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS isn't doing logrotate even as cron.daily/logrotate aswell all the configurations are in place
[11:15] <glontu> anyone know how to disable the network manager thing ?
[11:16] <shane_> glontu: The default network manager? To end the process run pkill nm-applet however this will kill your connection as well.
[11:16] <Hyperi> logrotate -v says "does not need rotating" yet the files are 4Gigs+ and way older. I've already tried to remove /var/lib/logrotate/status file, but the response is the same :/
[11:16] <glontu> shane_, i am trying to set up a router from my box and i think network manager keeps interfereing
[11:16] <sabgenton> whats a good ext reader for windows
[11:17] <iljo> sorry phux, i think you misunderstood me...
[11:17] <sabgenton> ext2explore sucks it's not reading sparse files
[11:17] <shane_> glontu: I removed network manager ages ago for wicd and have had no problems since
[11:18] <sabgenton> copys only a couple of k then gives up
[11:18] <glontu> shane_, how do i remove it ?
[11:18] <shane_> sabgenton: This is ubuntu IRC not windows. I suggesn you google *.ext
[11:18] <iljo> i need software, that would simulate Ctrl + Alt + Left when i click my "go back" button on mouse, and Ctrl + Alt + Right, when i click my "go forward" button on mouse
[11:18] <e-DIO-t> apt-get purge network-manager && apt-get install wicd ?
[11:18] <shane_> glontu: Download WICD and install it then purge network-manager
[11:19] <shane_> e-DIO-t: You cant just install wicd, it required daemons and the interface
[11:19] <sabgenton> shane_: well wubi is suported which is  a ext image on windows
[11:19] <pRoV7x>  glontu: Software Center, write the name of the software, click on it, then you see remove bottun, after removinngou better restart your pc
[11:20] <e-DIO-t> shane_: tought they'd come as dependencies
[11:20] <shane_> glontu: apt-get install wicd; apt-get install wicd-daemon;apt-get install python-wicd;apt-get purge network-manager
[11:20] <shane_> e-DIO-t: Good point :)
[11:20] <shane_> But just to be safe
[11:21] <e-DIO-t> shane_: ^_^
[11:21] <shane_> However, I only have wicd-daemon and python-wicd installed and it works perfectly.
[11:21] <glontu> ok so moving on ... does anyone have any ideea why i keep getting errors when trying to do this:  ip route add table 100 default via $E1_GW
[11:21] <shane_> glontu: Just get wicd-daemon and python-wicd and you should be set to purge network-manager
[11:22] <glontu> i get the stupid no suck process message from RTNETLINK
[11:22] <shane_> glontu: Paste your errors

[11:26] <pRoV7x>  What is this Xorg
[11:26] <shane_> pRiV7x: It is your GUI (in a nutshell)
[11:26] <dyd> i'm trying to use foremost to recover some files that have been deleted for mistake, i don't know how to use the HD. The command is $ foremost /dev/device -T how do i know what's the device?
[11:26] <pRoV7x>  !Xorg
[11:27] <shane_> glontu: First of all I would start of by removing network-manager all together rather than disabling it.
[11:28] <pRoV7x>  !GUI
[11:28] <glontu> shane_, and should i install the one you recomended ?
[11:29] <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] <babu> in windows normally we would type //ipaddress to see the shared items..
[11:29] <babu> how to do the same in ubutnu
[11:29] <arucreid> hello
[11:29] <babu> how to do the same in Ubuntu
[11:29] <arucreid> i`ve a question
[11:29] <shane_> glontu: Well there is WICD or editing the OS's networking files.
[11:29] <tonyyarusso> babu: Places > Network
[11:29] <pRoV7x>  shane_: i see, god man this Xorg uses a lot of CPU sometimes
[11:29] <arucreid> does anybody know, how to check in which domain/workgroup is my PC?
[11:30] <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] <JdGordon> does 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] <tonyyarusso> little: Applications > Sound and Video > Cheese Webcam Booth
[11:30] <shane_> pRoV7x: Yes that is to be expected. It has a massive job :)
[11:30] <babu> in Network it shows the user name.. i dunno it..
[11:30] <babu> i ki know only ip addr
[11:30] <babu> i know only ip addr
[11:30] <antihero> I get an annoying buzzing in my speakers whenever I use my mouse, also sometimes when I scroll on a webpage.
[11:31] <tonyyarusso> dyd: 'mount' will tell you your current device to mountpoint associations.
[11:31] <antihero> None of the topics I've found through google on the forums have solved it / are recent.
[11:31] <arucreid> ??
[11:31] <antihero> I'm using a M-Audio Delta 2496 that otherwise works great.
[11:31] <tonyyarusso> arucreid: It should be in your Samba config file.
[11:32] <arucreid> the config of samba file is really enought to know which workgroup is it?
[11:32] <babu> do u get my qn?
[11:32] <arucreid> i mean i`ve 2 computers linux and windows
[11:32] <pRoV7x>  shane_: is WICD a software that manges Networks?
[11:33] <tonyyarusso> arucreid: well, that's where you would define it.
[11:33] <phux> iljo: what do yoou mean by misunderstood?[D
[11:33] <arucreid> i want to know that workgroup has importance to configuring it?
[11:33] <pRoV7x>  shane_: how about SWscanner
[11:34] <shane_> pRoV7x: WICD is like network-manager, It allows you to connect to networks (provided you have the password).
[11:34] <iljo> i don't think orca does what i need done
[11:34] <jwtiyar> the firefox will damage or stop when going from tab to other tab for a while
[11:34] <babu> in windows normally we would type //ipaddress to see the shared items..i know only ip addr
[11:34] <pRoV7x>  shane_: i see, sweet
[11:34] <babu> its workin in windows
[11:34] <iljo> when i start orca, all it does is start reading things on my screen
[11:34] <shane_> pRoV7x: Yes and no. From what I saw, SWscanner only manages wireless networks.
[11:35] <shane_> And it depensd on something else.
[11:35] <tonyyarusso> babu: You can also use Places > Connect to Server and use "Windows Share" as the type.
[11:35] <babu> there is lot of options..
[11:36] <arucreid> ok so I guess, it depends of what I type in smb.conf, and the name of workgroup must be the same
[11:36] <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, lol
[11:36] <jwtiyar> any solution?
[11:36] <arucreid> the same in windows machine

[11:37] <phux> iljo: oh sorry
[11:37] <phux> youre right

[11:48] <tonyyarusso> no

[11:54] <mejo> hey
[11:54] <gry> Hello.
[11:54] <Axan> Hi
[11:54] <gry> Hi. :-)
[11:54] <mejo> how do I mark a bug as found in another ubuntu release? I'm talking about bug #419143 and would like to mark it as found in Ubuntu Natty.
[11:54] <Axan> Does anyone know about video edition software "Kino" ? I got a simple question to ask about
[11:55] <shane_> ok see ya all later :)
[11:55] <gry> mejo try #ubuntu-bugs if I'm not mistaken
[11:55] <mejo> I already changed status from Invalid back to Confirmed, but I don't find the option to mark it as found in Natty.
[11:55] <mejo> gry: thanks
[11:55] <gry> you're welcome
[11:56] <gry> Axan: please ask away.
[11:57] <Axan> ^^, I wonder how to delete an applied effect (and get back the original video portion) (with KINO video edition software)
[11:58] <ethnoadm_> hello?
[11:58] <ethnoadm_> need ubuntu help?
[11:58] <ethnoadm_> HALP!

[12:00] <ethnoadm_> i am having trouble installing avira antivir on ubuntu 11.10
[12:00] <ethnoadm_> how do i install dozuko when i can't find a .deb
[12:02] <ethnoadm_> Altenatively any good recommendations for antivir programms in ubuntu?
[12:02] <ethnoadm_> Primarily to scan ext hds in safe environment
[12:02] <DJones> ethnoadm_: You said installing on 11.10, did you mean 11.10 which isn't released until October & is just for testing, or 11.04 which is the current version
[12:03] <gry> ethnoadm_: many places suggest "m-a a-i dazuko"
[12:03] <ethnoadm_> how do i implement m-a a-i dazuko?
[12:03] <BlackDalek> Does anyone know how to stream a webcam over network using VLC in ubuntu?
[12:03] <gry> !antivirus | ethnoadm_, gry wants you to know - this lists useful suggestions as well:
[12:04] <gry> ethnoadm_: run 'm-a a-i dazuko' in Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
[12:04] <ethnoadm_> i aim to clean virus infected drives with a "safe" ubuntu version. ps i just installed the new ubuntu and frankly everything looks different. got its from ubutnu.com
[12:05] <gry> Welcome. :)
[12:05] <BlackDalek> does anyone know how to stream webcam in VLC?
[12:05] <Somelauw> Hi, I am still using ubuntu 10.10
[12:06] <gry> ethnoadm_: Just read lines prefxed with your nickname and check the links and suggestions.
[12:06] <Somelauw> When starting update-manager, it says: Not all updates could be installed.
[12:06] <Somelauw> Is there some way I can figure out what the problem is?
[12:06] <ethnoadm_> gry_ yes
[12:07] <gry> :)
[12:08] <DJones> Somelauw: With you using 11.10, you're probably better asking in #ubuntu+1 which is the channel for the development version, there may be a specific issue affecting things at the moment
[12:08] <B|2> hey guys,
[12:08] <ethnoadm_> thanks.
[12:08] <B|2> how do i stop ubuntuone from my startup?
[12:10] <jiohdi> preferences startup applications
[12:10] <jiohdi> uncheck it
[12:10] <tjiggi_fo> Somelauw, run: sudo apt-get update then try updating again
[12:10] <Somelauw> DJones: I use 10.10
[12:11] <DJones> Somelauw: Sorry, I misread 10.10 as 11.10
[12:11] <rootkill> hi
[12:12] <xro> Hi, what is the best location to put website source code? (some people said me that /var/www isn't a good choice)
[12:13] <gry> xro: That's Apache's default web files location, yes.
[12:15] <xro> gry, 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] <Somelauw> DJones: I tried, but I am still having the same problem.
[12:15] <tsimpson> xro: it doesn't matter where, it's completely arbitrary
[12:15] <gry> xro, 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] <tsimpson> xro: apache only needs to be able to read the files, other that that it can be anywhere
[12:16] <gry> xro, permissions do /not/ depend on files location in this case.
[12:16] <xro> ok... thanls for your advices!
[12:16] <xro> thanks*
[12:16] <gry> :-)
[12:16] <pajero> :D
[12:17] <Somelauw> DJones: Also, it says there are updates for linux-generic, but I am not able to select those.
[12:17] <tonyyarusso> xro: 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] <Somelauw> I think my system is completely messed up.
[12:17] <ejv> I prefer /home/$USER/public_html/
[12:17]  * ejv shrugs
[12:18] <tonyyarusso> ejv: If it's user-specific that makes sense as well.
[12:18] <gry> ejv, depends on whether you intend to have a site for all users, or just for one, I suppose.
[12:19] <tonyyarusso> /home/$USER/public_html/ is better than /var/www/$USER/, but /home/nobody/public_html as your only site is a bit silly.
[12:19] <ejv> i tend to find it more natural to navigate to my home dir, than /var/www, seems awkward to me :D
[12:19] <szal> Somelauw: try 'sudo apt-get upgrade' on the terminal instead
[12:19] <gry> Though 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] <Somelauw> Also it says that firefox can't be updated, but that is probably because I have a firefox ppa added.
[12:19] <Somelauw> Do I need to make a backup first?
[12:19] <ejv> also my home tends to reside on an encrypted disk, whereas the contents of /var do not :)
[12:19] <gry> Somelauw: run what szal said in Terminal, we'd see the error text.
[12:20] <Somelauw> Before aptitude upgrade?
[12:20] <gry> Update first, then upgrade.
[12:20] <szal> Somelauw: if you use aptitude, then use that & scrap apt-get
[12:20] <morth> hello
[12:20] <gry> So it would be: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:20] <rhin0> xro you have got python working through a web server?  just wondering how -- I even with lighttpd still have to use php to interface with python
[12:21] <jacks_> #ubuntu
[12:21] <gry> jacks_: Welcome.
[12:21] <iljo> hello again, can anyone recommend a good virtualization software for ubuntu 10.10, such as Daemon Tools or PowerISO or MagicISO
[12:21] <xro> rhin8, i use wsgi to interface python and apache
[12:21] <Somelauw> sudo aptitude upgrade works
[12:21] <rhin0> ok thanks xro
[12:21] <B-r00t> iljo: mount xD
[12:22] <szal> iljo: what's that got to do w/ virtualization?
[12:22] <Somelauw> Is it a problem with the update-manager gui.
[12:22] <gry> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-virtualization-software.html iljo
[12:22] <Somelauw> I will never trust ubuntu gui's again.
[12:22] <gry> Somelauw: interesting
[12:22] <Somelauw> Or maybe I will see the same error again later :-(
[12:22] <ejv> those apps in windows land create a "virtual" disk, pardon his terminology ;)
[12:23] <iljo> yeah, sorry about that
[12:23] <gry> iljo: Brasero disk burner, if you want to copy disks and similar
[12:23] <gry> (make disk images too)
[12:23] <knoppies> gry, daemon tools is for mounting .iso to a virtual DVD drive.
[12:23] <iljo> i have a cd image on my hard drive, and i want to run it as if it were in a cd-rom drive
[12:24] <ejv> i prefer k3b, haven't tried brasero yet
[12:24] <knoppies> iljo, I know that you can mount using a loop or something, should I try google it for you?
[12:24] <gry> sure
[12:24] <iljo> i can google myself, thanks, just wanted to know if anyone has a software like that at hand
[12:25] <knoppies> iljo, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html
[12:25] <szal> iljo: what for?
[12:25] <ejv> iljo: if you want the full documentation, fire up a terminal and type `man mount`
[12:25] <gry> ...
[12:25] <jacks_> hello
[12:26] <jacks_> i recently using ubuntu
[12:26] <jacks_> may i know recomended software
[12:26] <jacks_> for ubuntu natty
[12:26] <szal> !enter | jacks_
[12:27] <vlt> Hello. What do I need to do to make evolution re-read the file I saved my email signature in?
[12:28] <knoppies> jacks_, do you have anything in particular you are looking for? I recommend VLC, qmmp (for playing music) compiz config settings manager (if you are into tweeking your UI (not sure if it is in natty))
[12:28] <gry> gmountiso seems to do the thing, iljo
[12:28] <jacks_> oh ok thanks
[12:28] <ooxi> hi i'm using the most recent apache2 package from ubuntu (hardy). Are all known vulnerabilities patched (changelog on httpd.apache.org shows many vulnerabilites affecting 2.2.8)
[12:29] <knoppies> ooxi, I think you should try see what version you are running, you can either try use apt (not sure how) or ls /var/cache/apt/archives | grep apache2 (or even try synaptic, that should be able to tell you)
[12:30] <szal> knoppies, ooxi: apt-cache show pkgname
[12:30] <pRoV7x>  what's the best system cleaner for Ubuntu
[12:30] <gry> ooxi: a delay before a version appears in linux repositories is not umcommon
[12:30] <szal> pRoV7x: define 'system cleaner'
[12:30] <gry> pRoV7x: define 'system cleaner'
[12:30] <gry> oops
[12:30] <tham> How can i install a screenlet that's not in the repos?
[12:31] <knoppies> pRoV7x, you see that, you get it in stereo.
[12:31] <szal> heheh
[12:31] <pRoV7x>  szal, gry: i need the OS to be faster a bit
[12:31] <knoppies> tham, Im not sure about screenlets, but I know with software you can either download a .deb (or some other package) or compile it yourself.
[12:31] <szal> pRoV7x: buy a faster machine
[12:31] <gry> https://launchpad.net/~screenlets-dev/+archive/ppa tham
[12:31] <ooxi> knoppies, szal, gry i'm running 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.19
[12:32] <pRoV7x>  szal, gry: any other options
[12:32] <jwtiyar> the firefox will damage or stop when going from tab to other tab for a while
[12:32] <knoppies> ooxi, ok good, now try find out what security vulnerabilities that version of apache2 has. (I dont know them, Im sorry)
[12:32] <tham> knoppies, gry, The thing is, I got a source of a screenlet and changed it (the python file) a bit. I want to install this changed version now. Any idea?
[12:32] <pRoV7x>  ok how can i configure BleachBit the best way
[12:32] <gry> tham: then you have to compile yourself
[12:33] <ooxi> knoppies, according to the changelog on httpd.apache.org quite many
[12:33] <tham> gry, um.. how do I compile it? Using python?
[12:33] <gry> tham: Does it have a setup.py file in main project directory?
[12:33] <knoppies> tham, 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)
[12:34] <Somelauw> Okay, I managed to install the kernel updates.
[12:34] <Somelauw> Firefox is still bitching, probably because I added a custom ppa.
[12:34] <gry> Somelauw: Sounds awesome.
[12:34] <gry> Somelauw: I would delete the ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list and re-add it.
[12:34] <tham> knoppies, Thanks, I may be able to do it that way. Thanks again
[12:35] <tham> gry, Nope, but knoppies gave me an idea. Thanks both of you
[12:35] <gry> tham: Great.
[12:35] <dr_Willis> better to use /etc/apt/siurces.list.d/files
[12:36] <tonyyarusso> pRoV7x: You don't need a "system cleaner".  Such things are more likely to be scams than real software anyway.  Just learn how to manage your system.
[12:37] <dr_Willis> bleachbit rarely finds much here to clean
[12:37] <kamidi> does anyone know if problems with ATI/FGLRX and Gnome3 have been resolved in Catalyst 11.6 drivers?
[12:37] <Somelauw> gry: Can I just delete the files there directly? One of the files ends on .list and the other one ends on .list.save and there content is exactly the same?
[12:37] <pRoV7x>  tonyyarusso: thank u
[12:37] <dr_Willis> a few cache files. thats about it
[12:37] <mario__> giorno
[12:38] <Somelauw> s/there/their/
[12:38] <pRoV7x>  is there any thing that works as a restore point for Ubuntu
[12:38] <tonyyarusso> ooxi: Yes, apache2 will get security updates in hardy until spring of 2013.
[12:38] <knoppies> Somelauw, I would not delete the .list file, but the .list.save sounds like somebody backed it up previously, that should be safe (in terms of the system not falling apart) to delete.
[12:39] <dr_Willis> pRoV7x:  not really. theres ways to do it. but its rarely needed
[12:39] <knoppies> Does somebody know if "apt-get check" will inform apt that I have added .deb files to the /var/cache/apt/archives folder. So that it doesn't try to download them.
[12:39] <pRoV7x>  dr_Willis: i see
[12:39] <Hansimat> I am looking for an unattended Ubuntu installation. I found preseed and FAI. FAI sounds more interesting, especially preseed does not seem to support reusing of partitions. On the other hand the preseed method is easy to setup.  Does FAI work well with Ubuntu?
[12:40] <dr_Willis> knoppies:  ive added them thete befor i dont recall them getting redownloaded
[12:40] <pRoV7x>  dr_Willis: what's the best one
[12:40] <Somelauw> Thanks helping me gry and szal
[12:40] <Somelauw> knoppies: so how to remove a repository?
[12:41] <knoppies> Somelauw, remove? Im a little lost.
[12:41] <dr_Willis> bummer my irc client crashed.
[12:41] <Somelauw> knoppies: how to remove a ppa I don't need anymore?
[12:41] <knoppies> thanks dr_Willis maybe I should just try that. As things stand now I managed to create a local repository with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=147420
[12:42] <Somelauw> Where is this documented?
[12:42] <szal> easiest way: comment or delete the respective line(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list or sources.list.d/whereverItIsInThere
[12:42] <knoppies> dr_Willis, It took me 3hours to realize I had a spelling error in my sources.list file.
[12:42] <pRoV7x>  wb dr_Willis
[12:42] <dr_Willis> Somelauw:  theres a ppapurge command
[12:42] <knoppies> Somelauw, Im not sure about ppa, I normally just comment out the repo from /etc/apt/sources.list (as szal stated above)
[12:42] <dr_Willis> knoppies:  normally the error msg is a clue. B-)
[12:43]  * szal wouldn't count on such fancy commands having been around in Hardy already, most of the fancy stuff was introduced in Jaunty and Karmic
[12:43] <dr_Willis> Somelauw:  move the file to some other dir  is one way
[12:43] <Somelauw> okay, thanks dr_Willis, knoppies and szal
[12:44] <knoppies> dr_Willis, I thought the error message was telling me that it could not find the relevant file in my repo (because I had to generate a Packages.gz file, it was complaining about that, not the file path), I also started wondering if it was a permissions issue.
[12:44] <szal> moin BluesKaj
[12:44] <Molfar> hi guys. help me to build e-texteditor on ubuntu 11.04 please
[12:44] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[12:44] <MHA_> how to upgrade gnome 3 in lucid?
[12:44] <rhin01> ping
[12:45] <dr_Willis> more text editirs are needed? heh.
[12:45] <BluesKaj> mornin' szal , dr_Willis
[12:45] <Somelauw> I assume # is the comment character still here.
[12:45] <dr_Willis> !gnome3
[12:45] <szal> MHA_: iow, no dice for Lucid
[12:45] <dr_Willis> find ppas for other releasrs if they exist
[12:46] <dr_Willis> i bet they would break even worse.
[12:46] <MHA_> i'm remastering backtrack 5, and i want to upgrade gnome 3, is it possible
[12:46] <MHA_> *?
[12:46] <dr_Willis> !bt
[12:47] <szal> !backtrack | MHA_
[12:47] <dr_Willis> we dont do bscktrack here.
[12:47] <szal> bscktrack..  lol
[12:47] <MHA_> oh, ok, thank's all
[12:47] <dr_Willis> i bet its possible
[12:48] <Molfar> could you help me to build e-texteditor at ubuntu 11.04 pls?
[12:48] <glontu> i have set up an ubuntu router with 2 wans
[12:48] <dr_Willis> Molfar:  how far have you progresssed in doing that?
[12:48] <glontu> so i have a multiplath route in there. Question is ... how do i make my router not use the dead link anymore
[12:48] <Somelauw> Does anybody by the way know the difference between firefox and firefox-gnome?
[12:49] <glontu> when one of the links goes down ?
[12:49] <szal> Molfar: afaics, e-texteditor is a Windows program
[12:49] <glontu> if i do ip route flush cache then it finds the live link again but is there a way that wont require me to do this manually ?
[12:49] <Molfar> dr_Willis: I have already cloned sources from github https://github.com/etexteditor/e . I hope it is oficial repository
[12:50] <dr_Willis> !git
[12:50] <dr_Willis> last i used git. i just copy pasted a few comands from the programs docs.
[12:51] <dr_Willis> once i had the dev stuff installrd that is.
[12:51] <dr_Willis> my git fu is low.
[12:51] <gry> Just cloning should be neough to download the program. To install it, however, you would be likely expected to read the 'README' or 'INSTALL' file.
[12:52] <Molfar> I see readme file there. No commands to install are there.
[12:53] <epzil0n> Molfar: what are you trying to install?
[12:53] <gry> Molfar: section = Building e = in the readme, please. :-)
[12:53] <Molfar> epzil0n: e-texteditor from sources
[12:53] <epzil0n> Molfar: ok
[12:54] <Molfar> gry: thanks
[12:54] <gry> Guest85845: Salut
[12:54] <szal> Molfar: also see line 5 in the readme.txt ^^
[12:54] <gry> Molfar, you're welcome.
[12:55] <lonix> i cant seem to get rid of a folder...
[12:56] <Molfar> after sudo ./get-packages-ubuntu.sh bakefile I got an error bakefile : Depends: python2.5 but it is not installable
[12:56] <szal> lonix: --verbose please
[12:57] <knoppies> lonix, yay you are back.
[12:57] <knoppies> lonix, I tried adding the hostname.local to my hosts file, didnt work (even after a restart)
[12:58] <lonix> guys, I tried sudo rm -rf a folder and gets "File/folder" not found, however if i ls the parent folder, i get the folder in the listing
[12:59] <knoppies> lonix, try rm -rf .
[12:59] <knoppies> notice the dot
[12:59] <lonix> what for ?
[13:00] <species> I always move files to a junk folder rather than deleting them
[13:00] <froes> hi guys i am using ubuntu 10.10 ... i have tried to set up sudo with""  froes   ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/boblightd  "" but running sudo boblightd, it still asks for my password
[13:00] <lonix> wont i risk lossing other stuff in parant folder
[13:00] <froes> what can i do ?
[13:00] <species> mv <foldername> ~/Junk/<foldername>
[13:00] <pRoV7x>  anyone know what the Debug logs X11
[13:00] <gry> froes: add a space after colon maybe
[13:01] <gry> froes: have the user log off and log in again ?
[13:01] <Molfar> I've got an error http://pastebin.com/6J3DzUEy

[13:01] <froes> gry, yea-
[13:02] <gry> Molfar: say 'n' to it when it prompts and see if it has other suggestions, please.
[13:02] <froes> this is how i have it now:    froes   ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/boblightd

[13:03] <gry> froes: log off, log on, it should work
[13:03] <gry> _johnny: ask #google about that
[13:03] <froes> gry, i`ll try
[13:03] <_johnny> gry: thanks
[13:03] <_johnny> didn't know where to ask :)
[13:03] <gry> :)
[13:03] <Skeeter-> wats a good chunk size for mdadm?
[13:04] <gry> Molfar: Try `sudo aptitude install python2.5` perhaps?
[13:05] <Molfar> gry: it says No candidate version found for python2.5
[13:05] <gry> Molfar: Although I'd find that dependency odd, you might try to `sudo aptitude update` and the install bakefile one more time - I'd not really expect it to run on outdated Python.
[13:05] <^Mike> When I change the mouse pointer in Appearances, the mouse pointer doesn't change. Is this a known issue? Should I be doing something else to change the pointer?
[13:05] <frostschutz> Skeeter-: depends on your use case. run your own benchmarks and find out. personally, I just use the default chunk size...
[13:06] <Skeeter-> frostschutz, k thanks
[13:06] <gry> ^Mike: Does it change for another user on the system? Try creating a new user and checking there.
[13:07] <zombieSLAYER> is it possible to run chrome or chromium standalone from a usb stick?
[13:07] <^Mike> gry: No, it doesn't work for other users either.

[13:09] <gry> zombieSLAYER: What do you mean?
[13:10] <gry> ^Mike: Hrm. I don't know what package it's about. Maybe select something general, as people find what it's a problm with, they'll edit the bug information.
[13:10] <gry> ^Mike: may be worth asking at ubuntuforums.org about it first - including your hardware details

[13:21] <admgy22> what else shoudl I be doing when I take over a server from someone else?  (I'm just a coder, really, not a sys admin...)
[13:21] <ducch> fork() fails with err 11, and i pastebin'ed my ulimit -a and free output (both look reasonable)...

[13:23] <^Mike> How can I tell what package provides an executable?
[13:23] <gry> admgy22: System > Administration -> Usera & Groups
[13:24] <Pici> ^Mike: dpkg -S /path/to/exec
[13:24] <Pici> ^Mike: If you don't have it installed, you can either use apt-file, or http://packages.ubuntu.com
[13:24] <^Mike> Pici: thanks
[13:25] <Pici> admgy22: Check if their user is in the admin group, and if so, remove them from that group.
[13:25] <knoppies> Pici, admgy22, would you not have to remove their username from the sudoers config file too?
[13:26] <gry> knoppies: There is GUI for this.
[13:26] <Pici> gry: Most servers don't have guis.
[13:26] <gry> Pici: Hm. I don't know if admgy22 is a server or desktop user.
[13:27] <knoppies> gry, he kind of implied server by saying that he took over a server from another admin.
[13:29] <gry> My apologies if I was turning them in wrong direction, then.
[13:32] <shockrates> hey
[13:32] <shockrates> PLEASE HELP
[13:32] <Pici> shockrates: Hey. You need to ask a question frist.
[13:32] <Pici> *first
[13:32] <admgy22> I'm a server user guys - sorry I was scrolled up, didn't see the responses
[13:33] <sipior> Pici: must be the Shockratic method
[13:33] <jrib> sipior: hahaha
[13:33] <Pici> sipior: *groan*
[13:33] <D-Dalus> Good morning, someone could explain to me, what kind of things may produce that in a DSL conection there is only acces to google, youtube, and other especific pages?
[13:33] <jrib> D-Dalus: is it OS-independent?
[13:34] <Kartagis> hi. I've done a wget -m and it saved to a directory. however, when I look at the source and click on a link, dirname is omitted. how come?
[13:34] <admgy22> can you guys help me on this step by step.  I'm not really an admin.  So, in #freenode, someone suggested I look at the sudoers config file.  Where is this locatd on ubuntu?
[13:34] <jrib> Kartagis: can you give a specific example of what you expected and what you found?
[13:34] <knoppies> D-Dalus, either filtering by IP/domain name, or DNS filtering, DNS filtering is easy to get around, IP/domain is a bit harder, but not impossible.
[13:34] <jrib> admgy22: read « man sudoers ».  To edit, use « sudo visudo ».  What do you want to do exactly?
[13:35] <shockrates> the idiot who packaged wine for ubuntu, has included some source links for servers that dont work/respond. as a result i had to stop the apt-get install wine, which fucked up my dpkg and gives me problems when i install any package. i did apt-get purge wine but i still get the problem. how do i undo the wine installation? like it never happened? and please fucken fix wine already
[13:35] <knoppies> D-Dalus, is this a work or school or library network we are talking about?
[13:35] <shockrates> i cant stand this
[13:35] <bazhang> shockrates, no cursing
[13:35] <jrib> admgy22: I've found your original question.  Can you pastebin the contents of your /etc/sudoers?
[13:35] <D-Dalus> nothing of that
[13:35] <D-Dalus> knoppies, it's my home conection
[13:35] <admgy22> jrib: okay... to do that, I shoudl do "sudo visudo", right?
[13:35] <jrib> admgy22: if you want.
[13:35] <knoppies> D-Dalus, then probably a DNS issue, what happens if you try something like youtube? or even some low traffic site?
[13:36] <moystard> Hello everyone, I have a question :) I actually use my laptop on a dock, and switch really often between single and dual monitors configuration. It is not well managed by the nvidia driver natively as I have to manually change the configuration through nvidia settings which is quite painful. Is there out there an utility that could automate the process?
[13:36] <jrib> !bugs | shockrates, to file a bug:
[13:36] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, youtube and the result of the google searches works, but you can't acces to the results of the searches
[13:37] <knoppies> D-Dalus, give me the domain name of a site that you cannot access.
[13:38] <shockrates> jrib: its not a bug
[13:38] <shockrates> jrib: the idiots just uploaded their sources on servers that fail everytime
[13:38] <dch_ub> any ideas about fork()  returning err 11?
[13:38] <Kartagis> jrib: I went on to localhost/fass and saw the site. then I looked at the source and saw /sites/fass/whatever.css. I clicked on that line and I got the message http://localhost/sites/fass/whatever.css not found. however it should have been localhost/fass/sites/fass/whatever.css
[13:38] <shockrates> i had this problem when installing wien in any distro
[13:38] <jrib> shockrates: how is it not a bug.  You claim that the package relies on servers that do not respond.  It's a bug, i.e. an issue that needs to be fixed.  Also please stop calling people names, that's not necessary nor helpful
[13:39] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, www.hackforums.net
[13:39] <jrib> moystard: I may have something for you but my memory is failing.  One second...
[13:39] <jwtiyar> thats my problem ,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyy9p6tUvjo , ubuntu 11.04
[13:39] <moystard> jrib, thank you.
[13:39] <knoppies> D-Dalus, try put this in your browser: http://208.115.245.75/
[13:40] <bazhang> jwtiyar, please provide a synopsis here
[13:40] <admgy22> codepad.org/PSsJ00F5
[13:40] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, It doesn't work
[13:40] <knoppies> D-Dalus, then I dont think it is a DNS issue. Could your ISP be filtering that site?
[13:41] <admgy22> is this an unusual sudoers setup?
[13:42] <BluesKaj> D-Dalus, what kind of network are you working from ?
[13:42] <jrib> admgy22: 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 » command
[13:43] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, no i don think so.
[13:43] <admgy22> oh okay
[13:43] <jrib> moystard: 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 atm
[13:44] <admgy22> this makes sense, as I know that the way it was added was with "adduser"
[13:44] <Kartagis> jrib: so, any solution for me?
[13:44] <jrib> moystard: found it! http://willem.engen.nl/projects/disper/  Kept thinking "whisper"
[13:44] <Kartagis> solutions*
[13:44] <knoppies> D-Dalus, I am not sure what to try next.
[13:44] <admgy22> there was also something about /etc/passwd, about /etc/group, about useradd -G sudo, usermod -a -G sudo,
[13:44] <D-Dalus> Blueskaj, 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 why
[13:45] <admgy22> so I wonder what the steps are to reverse those...
[13:45] <moystard> jrib, cheers, I will definitely have a look at that :)
[13:45] <jrib> admgy22: « deluser USER sudo » will remove USER from sudo.  The commands you listed, add a user to the sudo group
[13:45] <jrib> Kartagis: don't know
[13:46] <jrib> Kartagis: you might see if httrack does a better job, I suppose
[13:46] <knoppies> D-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.
[13:47] <knoppies> admgy22, 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] <Zesturian> I'm a bit confused, why is there no curl.so in this: http://pastesite.com/24491
[13:48] <jrib> Zesturian: me too :D
[13:49] <jrib> Zesturian: what ubuntu version?  On 11.04 apt-file lists /usr/lib/php5/20090626/curl.so
[13:49] <knoppies> Is there a way to get apt (or something similar) to list all the available packages similar to the way ls does files? (I have a small local repository, we are not talking about thousands of packages).
[13:50] <Odisha1> hello
[13:50] <Zesturian> jrib, maverick
[13:50] <jrib> knoppies: aptitude search '.'    maybe?
[13:50] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, thanks for the ideas. but what really bothers me is that i don't understand why it it doesn't work. It should! It's not a DNS issue.
[13:50] <glenn> can some one help me with thunderbird and languages
[13:51] <jrib> knoppies: or apt-cache search '.'   too :D
[13:51] <Abhijit> is there any way to import radio name and address stored in xml format to rhythmbox?
[13:52] <cyberbob> is the number of packages in a debian repo equal to the number of packges in ubuntu repo ?
[13:52] <tsimpson> Zesturian: /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/curl.so should be in the maverick version too
[13:52] <Tyrnis> plop all
[13:53] <Zesturian> tsimpson, strange, I'll try an apt-get update
[13:53] <szal> cyberbob: there tends to be even more pkg'd software for *buntu than for Debian..  though that's hardly a support question & belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:53] <BluesKaj> D-Dalus,  were the original router settings ,not connecting with NM, most routers use ppoe and bridgedLLC for dsl ..I'm curious what the defaults on the router were previous to the changes you made

[14:00] <DMKitsch> hey

[14:00] <tsimpson> AdvoWork: it should be relatively easy, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Dapper specifically
[14:00] <bazhang> leo777, /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:00] <leo777> ok/
[14:00] <D-Dalus> Blueskaj, i just changed the bridge interface option to "activated" then i created a DSL conecction with network manager.
[14:01] <DMKitsch> does anybody know how I (tha administrator) can give myself access to the var/www folder?
[14:01] <bazhang> glenn, ask your real question
[14:01] <azv4> sudo -i
[14:01] <glenn> bazhang, ok

[14:03] <BluesKaj> D-Dalus, my question is why ? if it's an ethernet conn , it should just work from the start...modding the router isn't a good idea , the problem can be usually solved more easily in the NM or network interfaces and resolv.conf files
[14:03] <DMKitsch> azv4 how do i change the permissions on it?
[14:03] <Etherael> Anyone know what's up with flash not working in 11.04 in firefox or chrome both?
[14:03] <glenn> the problem is that i have a shared profile for thunderbirds that i can read in xp en in ubuntu. So far no problem. But when i have read my mails in xp and later in ubuntu tb in ubuntu is set to en-uk en not anymore in dutch why ?
[14:04] <Etherael> is installed in software center.
[14:04] <admgy22> what should I type to find out what filesystem the server is running?  Or is it definitely going to be ext3 if it's ubuntu?
[14:04] <bazhang> Etherael, it works fine in firefox in 11.04
[14:04] <Molfar> trying to install e-texteditor. help me pls to understand this: "Linux builds do not have this header available, and must explicitly include "wx/wx.h"."
[14:05] <szal> !repeat | Molfar
[14:05] <Etherael> bazhang: I just keep getting "You need to upgrade your flash player " on every piece of flash content in both chrome and firefox.
[14:05] <bazhang> Etherael, did you install gnash, swf and some of the others?
[14:05] <Etherael> nope, just the actual official package in the repo
[14:05] <Lemuel> glenn: what's wrong with your thunderbird?
[14:05] <Etherael> plugin finder service is coming up with "no suitable plugins were found"
[14:05] <shomon> hello, does anyone know a way of comparing two directories, recursively even?
[14:05] <szal> Molfar: also, I already pointed you to line 5 of the readme
[14:05] <bazhang> Etherael, how was it originally installed,and did you ever go outside package management for it
[14:06] <Etherael> bazhang: Originally was installed as part of 10.04 and was working fine.
[14:06] <Etherael> seems the upgrade to 11.04 has broken it.
[14:06] <Molfar> szal: if you mean irc channel, I have checked it, there are nobody exept me. I cant talk to myself there)
[14:07] <Etherael> bazhang: the package installed in package management is called "flashplugin-installer"
[14:07] <glenn> Lemuel, shroll up and read what i wrote
[14:08] <laar> hello, does anyone ahve a problem with GHC, as mine is panic-ing

[14:19] <PythonSnake> bazhang where to type this?
[14:19] <bazhang> PythonSnake, where to type what?
[14:19] <PythonSnake> gpointing-device
[14:20] <fede> Hi! How can I fix a broken usb key?

[14:23] <AdvoWork> if i need to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04, whats the best method of backing up my server?
[14:23] <sabgenton> are they an ok replacement for ext3
[14:23] <BluesKaj> D-Dalus, direct connection to the ADSL server ? ...must be beyond my scope
[14:23] <sabgenton> or dogey as
[14:23] <kla> sabgenton, sure to back my stuff up on optical media
[14:24] <Pici> dyd: find /path/ -size +1G
[14:24] <dyd> Pici: thank you
[14:24] <kla> sabgenton, they normally aren't
[14:24] <kla> sabgenton, ext4 is
[14:24] <sabgenton> kla: no as in on HD
[14:25] <sabgenton> ext4 is good by I want to use UDF
[14:25] <sabgenton> if it's reliable
[14:25] <sabgenton> enough
[14:25] <mads-> Dbl_Tap, could you tell me how to insert an ascii character to the command line? My google searches seems to find nothing
[14:27] <stephanmg> is wine that's what used in ubuntu if i need to start a simple .exe (sadly)
[14:27] <frostschutz> mads-: 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 you
[14:27] <frostschutz> mads-: also the dir might be empty
[14:28] <mads-> the dir is not empty. Can't I execute the command from java and still get the shell to expand the *?
[14:28] <hulowa> any one can shed light on patch a file like this?https://launchpadlibrarian.net/71387234/01elantech_2.6.38.patch
[14:29] <ldldlll> hi
[14:29] <hulowa> hi
[14:29] <frostschutz> mads-: you can execute a shell from java which in turn then executes a cp command. ask in a java channel for the best method
[14:29] <D-Dalus> Blueskaj, it's simpler than you think. But my english is not good enough to explain exactly what i want to do =(  . Anyway i appreciate your help a lot.
[14:29] <hulowa> frostschutz: hi, dude.
[14:30] <anev> should a cd mount itself?

[14:35] <jpds> rengo: Whatever you prefer.
[14:35] <ldldlll> ok thanks
[14:35] <Atritas> rengo: this site immediately gets blocked by the company virus scanner here as a Virs/Trojan. So better stick to official sources for downloading.

[14:44] <BarryB> funny but embarrassing query... anyone know of any available live reporistories for 9.04 jaunty?? Updatign to to latest is not an option...thanks
[14:44] <glenn> jpds, i did what you say
[14:44] <BarryB> repositories**
[14:44] <chrubble> I have a problem with DVD/CD burning in Ubuntu 11.04. Previously it  worked, but I installed Kubuntu 11.04 because of other issues - and  although the burning software (DVD Styler, Brasero and K3B tried) goes  through the motions (up to 'Success') it is not writing correctly and  the discs are destroyed - Then disc read error occur if I insert a  previously burned disc. Disc read OK after re-boot. I tried Linux Mint,  PCLi
[14:44] <jpds> BarryB: No, Jaunty's not supported anymore, you have to upgrade.
[14:44] <szal> !9.04 | BarryB
[14:44] <glenn> jpds, the installer say that i have the last version
[14:44] <PythonSnake> where is search bar on gnome 2 ?
[14:45] <BarryB> i know its decomised
[14:45] <BarryB> just wondering if any live reps out there
[14:45] <Pici> BarryB: old-releases.ubuntu.com is available, but you will not get any udpates from there.
[14:45] <jpds> glenn: Cool, do you have the other Dutch translations installed? You can install them with System → Admin → Language Support ?
[14:45] <pRoV7x>  does anyone know what this folder for, Thumbnails
[14:45] <BarryB> ok...ill manyually install .deb ...thanks
[14:47] <glenn> jpds in now that. That is not the problem the problem is when i use tb in xp with my share profile and go back to tb ubuntu it's not in dutch any more
[14:48] <jpds> glenn: Yes, I know.
[14:48] <jpds> glenn: You probably have to log into a Dutch Ubuntu session to have Thunderbird in Dutch.
[14:48] <jpds> glenn: I do that with the languages I have installed.
[14:48] <glenn> jpds ubuntu is dutch
[14:49] <TaZeR> sup guys
[14:49] <Loreley> Hello, I installed my system from a remastersys backup and now I have a ubiquity-gtkui.desktop file on my desktop. What is this thing? Can I delete it?
[14:49] <pRoV7x>  does anyone know what this folder is for, Thumbnails?
[14:49] <TaZeR> is it cool if use xubuntu instead of ubuntu or is that different?
[14:49] <TaZeR> i like the interface better
[14:49] <TaZeR> will i be like judged or something?
[14:49] <szal> TaZeR: Ubuntu = Gnome, Xubuntu = XFce (for the eye; under the hood it's the same thing)
[14:50] <TaZeR> so no bad will twords me?
[14:50] <PythonSnake> when will ubuntu support gnome 3?
[14:50] <Pici> PythonSnake: 11.10
[14:50] <TaZeR> i like the xfce unity thing not classic xfce
[14:50] <TaZeR> with the cool black menu and dock no botton panel
[14:50] <TaZeR> and how did they make the fonts look as good as on windows 7?
[14:50] <jpds> TaZeR: That's http://unity.ubuntu.com/ , not XFCE.
[14:51] <TaZeR> i cant do that on any other of my distros
[14:51] <glenn> jpds, how can i remove tb by command line
[14:51] <glenn> i think i have to versions of tb on pc
[14:51] <jpds> glenn: sudo apt-get remove thunderbird
[14:51] <TaZeR> its like xfce though with a touch of unity
[14:51] <TaZeR> not unity like in ubuntu where ur stuff is on the side
[14:51] <TaZeR> has regular menus and all
[14:52] <TaZeR> its still fast for slow systems
[14:52] <Pici> !enter
[14:52] <TaZeR> i switched from debian recently to try it out
[14:52] <glenn> jps i removed tb by the software center
[14:52] <TaZeR> im on a netbook so im looking for speed
[14:53] <TaZeR> and i hate those netbook distros that make it like a smart phone lol
[14:53] <glenn> and i try also to remove it by the command line but he told me that tb is not installed
[14:53] <glenn> but in the application menu i see still tb
[14:53] <TaZeR> i just need windows 7 installed for one program =/

[14:55] <RenaKunisaki> Google Maps? :p
[14:55] <TaZeR> has to be offline not using flash
[14:56] <pRoV7x>  !Thumbnails
[14:56] <jpds> TaZeR: Google Earth?
[14:56] <RenaKunisaki> I don't think Google uses Flash?
[14:56] <TaZeR> that can search down addresses?
[14:56] <TaZeR> i think i tried google earth in the past
[14:57] <TaZeR> but it was too slow on my machine it was some 3d kinda thing
[14:57] <TaZeR> u guys are familiar with streets & trips how it looks and behaves?
[14:57] <chrubble> Anyone help with DVD & CD burning issue in Ubuntu 11.04?
[14:57] <dr_Willis> google maps.
[14:57] <szal> chrubble: define 'issue'
[14:58] <dr_Willis> is similer TaZeR
[14:58] <whyameye> computer boots to blank screen even in recovery mode. Ubuntu lucid.
[14:58] <TaZeR> google maps is online though and its slow
[14:58] <rypervenche> TaZeR: Use Google Maps. If you want to have it in an interactive program, use Google Earth.
[14:58] <chrubble> Read ok. But write goes through motions. Says 'success' but then discs unusable.
[14:58] <sf_> hi all
[14:59] <dr_Willis> TaZeR:  ive seen no offline apps similer for linux. getting rare for windows also
[14:59] <sf_> how can i set, ubuntu to install a python package in different python versions (2.6 and 2.7) ? , its only installing in one
[14:59] <dr_Willis> i got googlemaps on my cellphone  :-D
[14:59] <evenflow> hello, anyway to unlock the screen using xscreensaver-command?
[14:59] <sf_> install in both at same time
[14:59] <whyameye> is there a way to force ubuntu not to use any video driver besides VESA or something? My computer is booting to a blank screen even in recovery mode. So it's going to a blank screen before it even runs X. What to do?
[15:00] <sipior> sf_: using the package manager, or easy_install/pip?
[15:00] <glenn> how can i install thunderbird to the last version 3.1.11  in dutch and not to 3.1.10
[15:00] <sf_> sipior, apt-get install
[15:01] <sipior> sf_: the python packages are coded with the python interpreter version.
[15:01] <alex86> hey, i can`t manage to install PHP on my machine. apt-get update doesn`t help. here: http://pastebin.com/wA6D0d5v
[15:01] <sipior> sf_: "sometimes"
[15:01] <dr_Willis> whyameye:  ive seen some kernel boot option for that. at askubuntu.com  but lost the url.
[15:02] <Pici> glenn: 3.1.11 doesn't exist in any of the official Ubuntu repositories for any release.  You'd have to find a PPA or find an installer from Mozilla.
[15:02] <dr_Willis> whyameye:  the nomodeset option can help also
[15:02] <dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[15:02] <pRoV7x>  does anyone know what this folder is for, Thumbnails?
[15:02] <rhin01> thumbnails?
[15:02] <Cycovince> Hey ppl
[15:02] <Cycovince> is anyone using Miro ?
[15:03] <Pici> pRoV7x: I'd guess it was for thumbnails.
[15:03] <sf_> sipior, so its not possible to install by default in more than one python version, right?
[15:03] <jimmy51_> i've just brought up an ubuntu server to be my NFS server for netbooting.  I'd also like to share my NFS root with Samba.  Is this a bad idea for any reason?
[15:03] <DMKitsch>  Hi, at the moment a user called user 'dave' has no permission to write to the folder /Var/WWW I wish to give him this so he can make a website but i do not know how to, can anybody help?
[15:03] <glenn> how can i install thunderbird dutch 3.1.11 and not 3.1.10
[15:03] <DMKitsch> i am logged in as root
[15:03] <sipior> sf_: not by default, but most packages are available via setuptools. simply run the installer with the desired python interpreter.
[15:03] <pRoV7x>  Pici: what are those, do you know?
[15:04] <glenn> Pici, where can i find the ppa
[15:04] <dr_Willis> DMKitsch:  i think the proper way to allow that is to use groups. but ive not done thst stuff in years
[15:04] <Pici> !ppa | glenn
[15:04] <DMKitsch> dr_willis ok, is there any documentation on it?
[15:04] <Pici> pRoV7x: Thumbnails are tiny images that give you a preview of what is contained in a file. GNOME Nautilus uses them for pictures.
[15:05] <sf_> sipior, it means i cannot use the package manager ?
[15:05] <dr_Willis> DMKitsch:  its such a faq  probly dozens of guides. check askubuntu.com and the forums
[15:05] <loculinux> hola
[15:05] <Joupi> DMKitsch: You create a new group in which you add the users you want to have write permissions and then allocate the WWW (or whatever folder) new group's name so people in this group will be able to write providing the chmod correspond to for the group users
[15:05] <sipior> sf_: if the package is not available for your desired version, no.
[15:05] <iridium> !es | loculinux
[15:05] <pRoV7x>  Pici: thank you.
[15:06] <sipior> sf_: maintaining multiple python interpreters is generally a bad idea anyway. are you migrating from 2.7 to 3 or something?
[15:06] <sf_> sipior, ah thanks, ill try to install from source those packages
[15:06] <DMKitsch> Joupi, dr_Willis thank you for the help
[15:06] <sf_> sipior,  2.6 to 2.7
[15:06] <Joupi> ;-)
[15:06] <Hansimat> I am looking for an unattended Ubuntu installation. I found preseed and FAI. FAI sounds more interesting, especially preseed does not seem to support reusing of partitions. On the other hand the preseed method is easy to setup.  Does FAI work well with Ubuntu? Any experience?
[15:06] <jc-denton> my ubuntu doesn't boot any more
[15:07] <jc-denton> grub ssems to be ok, but it stops when trying to mount the root fs
[15:07] <lietu> ah, my samba is slow, because the interface is at 10Mbit.. need to get a better NIC
[15:07] <rhin0> jc_denton you will always get your files back -- you can mount the corrupted (if it is) ubuntu from the live cd
[15:07] <jc-denton> first it complained that the uuid is not correct
[15:08] <jc-denton> then i booted using a cd and then I commented somehting out in /etc/default/grub telling grub not to use uuid for root
[15:08] <jc-denton> tried again
[15:08] <jc-denton> and now it's complaining that it cannot find /dev/sdb1

[15:08] <dr_Willis> you did run update-grub?
[15:08] <rhin0> oops wrong channel
[15:08] <jc-denton> sure
[15:09] <jc-denton> wtf
[15:09] <jc-denton> why these uuids?
[15:09] <Pici> !enter | jc-denton
[15:09] <Pici> jc-denton: and mind your language please.
[15:09] <jc-denton> and why are they suddenly wrong?
[15:09] <dr_Willis> uuids shoulndet be chabgeing unless you resize or repartition
[15:10] <jc-denton> now i'm in that initramfs thing and typing mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt tells me that sdb1 is not there
[15:10]  * szal suggests fsck'ing the partition in question
[15:10] <jc-denton> fdisk: command not found
[15:10] <dr_Willis> check  sudo fdisk -l jc-denton
[15:11] <jc-denton> id: command not found
[15:11] <dr_Willis> not found.. thats weird
[15:11] <sriramoman> siva: to join another channel, type "/join #linux-india"
[15:11] <jc-denton> but i think i'm root, what's that initramfs anyways?
[15:11] <sriramoman> siva: in the chat area itself
[15:11] <dyd> guys i have to recover some deleted files from a hd with windows. what's a good software to do that?
[15:11] <jc-denton> grub/lilo used to be that simple, the uuid mess is just a disappointment
[15:11] <dyd> i'm trying with scalpel now
[15:11] <dr_Willis> grub can use uuid also
[15:12] <siva> sriramomen : done
[15:12] <dr_Willis> fstab can use uuid
[15:12] <maheshmm> folks, how to install acroread mozilla plugin in ubuntu natty? it's not in medubuntu repo and canonical partner repo
[15:12] <jc-denton> so what can I do to make my system boot again?
[15:13] <dr_Willis> jc-denton:  it could be a hd died if youcant mount it. ckeck with fdisk a d  gparted and in the bios
[15:13] <jimmy51_> anyone know of a good tutorial on setting up samba shares to use active directory permissions?
[15:13] <jona_> hoola
[15:13] <jc-denton> i highly doubt that
[15:14] <jc-denton> i can mount it
[15:14] <jc-denton> from a cd but not from that initramfs thing i land into after boot fails
[15:14] <dr_Willis> jc-denton:  you said you coukdent earlier
[15:14] <jc-denton> ?
[15:14] <szal> jc-denton: did you fsck the partition already?
[15:14] <dr_Willis> sdb1 not there you said
[15:15] <jimmy51_> i've found this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
[15:15] <jc-denton> @dr_Willis yes in that initramfs thing in which u land when boot fails
[15:15] <jc-denton> whatever that is
[15:16] <david> ck dlublink
[15:16] <jc-denton> well i had to add a boot flag to the first hd which is for windows
[15:16] <jc-denton> but it seems that gparted changed something
[15:16] <jc-denton> now the uuid is not valid or so
[15:16] <dr_Willis> !uuid
[15:17] <jc-denton> what I don't understand is why simply using /dev/sdx doesn't work
[15:17] <jc-denton> yes I saw this page
[15:17] <maheshmm> folks, how to install acroread mozilla plugin in ubuntu natty? it's not in medubuntu repo and canonical partner repo
[15:18] <BarryB> would using 9.10 repository work for 9.04?
[15:18] <BarryB> theoreticallly?
[15:18] <sriramoman> maheshmm: for me, it got installed automatically when i installed acroread itself
[15:18] <dr_Willis> ive seen hard drives change sdXX numbers if i select the bios to boot from diffrent hds.
[15:19] <dr_Willis> !acrobat
[15:19] <IdleOne> BarryB: 9.04 is no longer supported and mixing repos is not a good idea anyway.
[15:19] <PythonSnake> Ubuntu FTW !!!
[15:19] <jc-denton> Could anybody answer my question?
[15:19] <dyd> how can i make an image of a secondary hd i have connected?
[15:19] <dr_Willis> adobe home page perhaps
[15:19] <dr_Willis> dyd:  use of dd command can do that
[15:20] <sriramoman> dyd: dd if=<ur hdd> of=myhd.img bs=512
[15:20] <BarryB> IdleOne: I know its not supported, thanks...how is it not a good idea?
[15:20] <dyd> thank you guys
[15:20] <tam_lin> hiya: software-center isn't starting up properly for me, and just gives a blank window. Any idea how I could get a log of what it's (not) doing?
[15:20] <dr_Willis> be carefull with dd
[15:20] <glenn_> i have installed thunderbird for ubuntuzilla no problem so far. it is thunderbird 3.1.11 and when i go than to tb xp and back than is tb ubuntu change from dutch to englisch why ?
[15:21] <sriramoman> dyd: ensure that u perform this command in a directory where u have sufficient free space. it should ideally have at least a few MB's more than the capacity of ur secondary HDD
[15:21] <dyd> i'm doing it on /media/LaCie
[15:22] <dyd> sriramonan:  dd if=/dev/sdb of=/media/LaCie/myhd.img bs=512
[15:22] <dr_Willis> dyd:  ddrescue and dd_rescue are good for failing hd imageing
[15:22] <glenn_> i have installed thunderbird for ubuntuzilla no problem so far. it is thunderbird 3.1.11 and when i go than to tb xp and back than is tb ubuntu change from dutch to englisch why ?
[15:22] <ohir> dyd: wrong. You need to use /dev/hddevice
[15:23] <ohir> dyd: lag. Yep you got it right
[15:23] <jc-denton> looserbuntu
[15:23] <jimmy51_> i'm trying to follow this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto  but it seems like a spaghetti reference to several outdated articles.
[15:23] <dyd> ohir: good ;D
[15:23] <Jimmy_> XD
[15:23] <jimmy51_> does anyone know of an up to date active directory / samba tutorial?
[15:23] <sriramoman> dyd: ensure u have enough free space in /media/LaCie
[15:23] <sriramoman> dyd: otherwise command is perfect
[15:23] <ohir> dyd: while coping many data you may use larger block size
[15:24] <dr_Willis>  jimmy51_  thats not uncommon. you could post the q. to the askubuntu.com site
[15:24] <dyd> sriramonan: it's ok, hd = 40gb LaCie has 300 gb free
[15:24] <dyd> ohir: what block size should i use?
[15:24] <ohir> dyd: usual bs=1M or so is good.
[15:24] <dr_Willis> jimmy51_:  domeone may kbow a better.guide
[15:24] <dyd> ohir: ok i'll try with 1M
[15:25] <ohir> dyd: you may test it before copying some 50MB with bs=1M count=50. man time will tell you how to measure time of running
[15:26] <glenn_> where is the config file of thunderbird stored
[15:26] <maheshmm> sriramoman: okay. i am installing acroread. lets see
[15:26] <Jimmy_> umm google IME is not released for ubuntu
[15:26] <dyd> ohir: it copied 50mb instantly
[15:26] <dr_Willis> i slways use other pdf tools these days.
[15:27] <WLU> nvidia-settings does not correctly set the resolution for the screen. the refresh rate on one monitor is 50 while the other is 75. They are two monitors of the same make and model Any ideas. This is 11.04 ubuntu  2.6.38-8 x86_64. I installed the latest nvidia driver
[15:27] <dyd> ohir: i think 1M will be fine
[15:27] <tam_lin> Software-center isn't starting up properly for me, and just gives a blank window. Any idea how I could get a log of what it's (not) doing?
[15:28] <dyd> can i use dd also to make an image of the hd where i have installed the so i'm using?
[15:28] <dr_Willis> tam_lin: run it from a terminal
[15:28] <tam_lin> I have
[15:28] <dr_Willis> dyd:  you can but that disk is inuse.. so that can get weird
[15:29] <dr_Willis> dyd:  best to use a livecd to do that dd trivk
[15:29] <tam_lin> dr_willis: it seems to run without any text output, returning control of the cmd line to the user
[15:30] <dr_Willis> tam_lin:  i never use the center. try a update. upgrade from the cli and see if that fixs things
[15:30] <tam_lin> dr_Willis: I've tried that, several times
[15:30] <dyd> dr_Willis: livecd means to start from a cd and run the command from there?
[15:30] <tam_lin> apt-get still seems to work fine
[15:30] <tam_lin> though it doesn't seem to be able to properly remove mpd
[15:30] <dr_Willis> dyd:  yea
[15:31] <dyd> dr_Willis: ok thank you
[15:31] <theorifice1> I've got a kernel module that crashes my machine when loaded. Is there a way to view the dmesg logs post-mortem?

[15:41] <dr_Willis> Razor11:  you did install the nvidia drivers.
[15:41] <Razor11> how do i install it?
[15:41] <Razor11> its windows base..
[15:42] <Razor11> I have the cd with me
[15:42] <dr_Willis> askubuntu.com has some neat android apps
[15:42] <dr_Willis> Razor11:  run jockey-gtk
[15:42] <Razor11> in the terminal?
[15:42] <dr_Willis> where else... :)
[15:42] <Razor11> can you gave me a tutorial on this?
[15:42] <Razor11> im new to ubuntu
[15:43] <dr_Willis> !nvidia
[15:43] <hwilde> that tutorial was outdated years ago @ dr_Willis
[15:44] <Razor11> Ok i'll give it a try
[15:44] <dr_Willis> it sould also ask  to  install them on first boot
[15:44] <dr_Willis> just run jockey-gtk as root.  and see
[15:45] <Cycovince> why is jockey-gtk exclusively in ubuntu ?
[15:45] <Cycovince> I'd love to have that kind of tool on suse or fedora
[15:45] <Cycovince> installing drivers is such a pain in the neck
[15:45] <dr_Willis> they got their own ways i think

[15:48] <preetam> can anybody tell me how to recover data from my SD card in ubuntu 11.04.
[15:50] <BluesKaj> preetam, does it show in nautilus/ places ?
[15:51] <preetam> BluesKAj: the data are accidentally deleted
[15:51] <twinggy> hi
[15:52] <xtr3m3> hi
[15:52] <BluesKaj> preetam, was the card connected when the data got deleted?

[15:52] <twinggy> I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 and then now I installed windows 7; Now when I boot the machince, windows 7 booting automatically. How to solve this? Now I'm running on Ubuntu live CD
[15:53] <preetam> yes the card was connected with the laptop
[15:53] <BluesKaj> preetam, maybe it wnded up intrash, if  so then just right click and recover
[15:53] <genii-around> preetam: Probably to make an image of it first to a file with ddrescue, then mount the image, use some stuff like photorec. There are also some tools for undeleting from ext2/3/4 like e2undel  and extundelete

[16:01] <noaki> hi i've got a strange problem with my keyboard layout. i want the german one, but it always switches back to us theme after a while which is strange since i removed the us layout (uninstalled it) i also just have the german language theme installed
[16:01] <noaki> this problem often occurs when using thunderbird (where i also just have installed german locales). and thunderbird is in autostart
[16:01] <BluesKaj> raz, maybe do some research /linux reveiws on the net of various netbooks
[16:01] <Razor11> how about built in video cards on motherboards? where can i get the drivers?
[16:02] <raz> BluesKaj: been there. it's really hard to find definitive info.
[16:02] <dyd> is there a way to use foremost and recover also filenames?
[16:02] <noaki> and when i remove the us layout its comes back after a reboot tt
[16:03] <Razor11> excuse me, how about built in video cards on motherboards? where can i get the drivers?
[16:03] <BluesKaj> raz, well I doubt you'll find definitive info here , ppl come here with problems,  not positive opnions about computers :)
[16:03] <raz> BluesKaj: well, i was hoping for something like "hey yes, i'm typing this from asung eeepc 4711 and it's perfect" ;)
[16:04] <Razor11> T_T
[16:07] <Razor11> how do i know the model of the video cards if it is built in with the motherboards???
[16:07] <veek> Razor11: dmesg
[16:07] <Razor11> ok thanks
[16:08] <genii-around> Razor11: Also sudo lshw -C video      and lspci -mm  then look up the vendor:device code

[16:16] <preetam> how to make an image of all sectors of SD memory card in ubuntu 11.04.
[16:18] <Jordan_U> Teraunce: SiS is the worst brand of graphics card as far as Linux support goes.
[16:19] <Razor11> excuse me again.. how do i run ubuntu on vmware?
[16:19] <genii-around> preetam: If sdcard is for instance at /dev/sdc   and you want to make an image of it into a file in your home directory called file.img then:  cd && ddrescue /dev/sdc file.img
[16:19] <Teraunce> sadly it's what my 6-year old crappy black friday walmart emachine came with Jordan_U
[16:20] <kz_> I need help migrating my home folder from my old computer to my new computer.  Both computers are on a LAN and I am a sudoer.  I need to transfer about 75gb.  My main problem is preserving usernames. The bulk of the files belong to my old userid, but there are files belonging to root.  I want to bring my old home directory over, including the files that are owned by root without forcing all files to be owned by root. How do i do this?
[16:21] <kz_> a blind cp -Rp doesn't seem to work
[16:21] <kz_> all files end up belonging to root
[16:22] <kz_> also, are there any other tools i should consider using instead of cp? rsync is not good for a first time copy, right? I've got a huge amount of small files, so cp is slow.
[16:22] <Loreley> hello, I want to use sbackup. I want to backup some directories including /media/win7/Users but want to exclude /media. Can sbackup handle this?
[16:23] <sipior> kz_: "cp -a" is an option. also, look into using "pax -rw"
[16:23] <kz_> pax?
[16:23] <kz_> are those options to cp?
[16:23] <sipior> kz_: pax is an archiver program, like tar and cpio.
[16:24] <kz_> I see
[16:24] <natasha_> привет
[16:24] <kz_> is there an easy way to remap uid and gids ?
[16:24] <Pici> !ru | natasha_
[16:24] <natasha_> hi
[16:24] <sipior> kz_: the -a switch to cp will preserve them, if that's what you want.

[16:25] <MPX> Hi! I'm having a stationary PC and a Laptop PC hooked up in a cable-network through a router. Problem: They can not see each other in nautilus, under network. Sometimes it works if I reboot the computer enough times. Anybody else have
[16:25] <kz_> well, i don't have the same uid on my new system
[16:25] <MPX> the same problem?
[16:25] <kz_> what are my options?
[16:25] <sipior> kz_: recursive chown (-R)
[16:25] <BluesKaj>  kz_ what about cp -r to copy folders
[16:25] <twinggy> I reinstalled the grub; but now it's coming in shell mode; not a graphical one; how to solve this pls?
[16:25] <iridium> chown your new user
[16:25] <kz_> kz_: ok,
[16:26] <kz_> BluesKaj: I need to copy a mix of files owned by root and my user
[16:26] <sipior> kz_: another option is to simply set your account's new uid to your old one.
[16:26] <BluesKaj> kz_, ok
[16:26] <kz_> sipior: ok, thanks. i'll try and do a cp -a

When it is booted up, and a user signs in, it doesn't connect to the wireless network unless I sign into my own account and unlock the "keyring". Is there a way to fix this so I don't have to sign in and unlock it so other users can go online?
[16:41] <fajri> a
[16:41] <BluesKaj> Triscar0, dunno , I prepartitonand format my hdds , ot I'll use the alyernate install which has more options than the liuve cd
[16:42] <BluesKaj> !alternate | Triscar0
[16:42] <Lasers> L551: I have no idea -- but one way is to delete keyring profile -- and create a new one -- leave it blank so it'll use unsafe storage.
[16:42] <Lasers> Leave the passwords blank*
[16:43] <Triscar0> BluesKaj, im burning a new cd, and if that dont work i will format my discs and try
[16:44] <Razor11719> excuse me again,,i have this message on the hardware... "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." any help?

[16:46] <Razor11719> any suggestions??
[16:46] <genii-around> !md5 | Triscar0 .. you might want to also make sure the ISO is good by checking the md5
[16:47] <L551> Lasers: How exactly do I delete the keyring profile? I don't want it do delete a bunch of other things too,
[16:48] <Lasers> L551: Well, if you delete keyring profile, you're going to delete all stored passwords in it too. Let me look it up.

[16:57] <Lasers> chad____: You could nuke gconf settings -- Not sure how I can do it -- but I recall it was possible to put ~/ on your Desktop.  Maybe that's what you tried to do?
[16:58] <dr_willis> nucleus,  by default theres no locked ports. unless you are using some firewall rules.. its open
[16:58] <dr_willis> whats port 25 anyway? i forget.

[16:59] <beachbuddah> BluesKaj- ty will do

[17:04] <guest1987> hi all, i have a question... Im not sure if anyone in here has but i just started to get ubuntu back on my PS3, i have followed the guide for building the kernel and getting petitboot working however the site i was following is down and wondered if anyone might be able to assist ?
[17:04] <beachbuddah> BluesKaj, the lsusb output for the drive is very long - which/what would the 'drive' look like?
[17:04] <chad____> Lasers: It's okay! I really thank you for attempting to help me. I think it switched to use your home directory as the desktop directory
[17:04] <Lasers> chad____: Right. In Gnome, it should be in gconf -- but I don't know if XFCE utilize the same thing.
[17:04] <guest1987> this is the site, but as i say its down at the moment :- http://wiki.gitbrew.org/index.php/PS3:Linux#Ubuntu
[17:05] <BluesKaj> beachbuddah, could you pastebin the output of lsusb
[17:05] <beachbuddah> Blueskaj - okey dokey

[17:06] <reyes> Hi, i need help. from version 10.04 I have problems with Ubuntu (I think) my graphics card. This problem arises especially when working with graphics or CPU usage much. The problem is that it breaks the GUI as you see in the image and the entire computer is very slow: I'm running Ubuntu http://imageshack.us/f/90/pantallazo1mb.png/ 11.04 and Intel graphics card ® 945G x86/MMX/SSE2
[17:06] <dr_willis> seems to be down here also guest1987  -
[17:06] <Faustus2> how does one "open" a file in nautilus with a bash-script? eg: if i make a script "play" containing 'mplayer' that wount work
[17:06] <guest1987> dr_willis, i got the guide :- http://pastie.org/2134792 if your interested but its not working as i expected and im left with a built kernel but no way of booting it,
[17:06] <beachbuddah> BluesKaj - http://pastebin.com/MrRwKS2N
[17:07] <dr_willis> guest1987,  i dont own a ps3. so no idea
[17:07] <dr_willis> !ps3
[17:07] <Stickboy> it says that the firmware is missing
[17:07] <chad____> Lasers: It's no problem, hah.
[17:07] <guest1987> its more petitboot i think than ubuntu its self as all you are left with is a base system with apt and a kernel.......
[17:07] <dr_willis> Faustus2,  nautilus has some sort of scripting feature and directory. its not too hard to use. but its not that well documented
[17:08] <dr_willis> Faustus2,  check out http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/
[17:09] <BluesKaj> beachbuddah, it should be listed in /media in nautilus
[17:09] <reyes> any person know that i can make for resolve the problem?
[17:09] <Faustus2> dr_willis: thanks doc :)
[17:09] <beachbuddah> ok lemme check
[17:09] <rostayob> How do I list the files installed by some package?
[17:09] <dr_willis> Faustus2,  i seem to recall some python-nautilus script addon also that was very well done.
[17:11] <BluesKaj> beachbuddah, gotta go for about 10 mins ...bbl
[17:11] <beachbuddah> BluesKaj - the only things listed in my /media are an external drive and a DVD that happens to be in THAT drive - no Toshiba stick

[17:41] <dr_willis> Diverdude,  redhat as a company focuses on selling server/service/support... businesses like that... Ubuntu is also   targeted at a similer market in ways.

[17:43] <nimrod10`> Diverdude, you also have on top of that third parties like Vmware that will only offer support if you're running RedHat
[17:43] <IdleOne> BajK: you feeling ok?
[17:43] <subz3r0> To secure my samba-share on my netbook a bit, ive addet: interfaces = ip.of.the.netbooks, bind interfaces only = yes, und hosts allow = ip.of.the.client, addet to smb.conf. now when i try to do a share, ill get the error msg : "net usershare gives the error 255 back, net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused.maybe smbd is not running" Does any1 know how i can fix this?
[17:44] <Diverdude> nimrod10`, hmm vmware....i can just use vbox if i want to use something virtual?
[17:44] <dr_willis> Virtualbox is a very very handy tool for many ussage cases.
[17:44] <dr_willis> Its worth playign with at least. :)
[17:44] <subz3r0> dr_willis, w0rd!
[17:45] <Diverdude> dr_willis, sure is...i just said i can use that instead of vmware if thats the only reason one should choose redhat
[17:46] <guiledazimba___> what i can do if one printer do not have a driver to linux?! printer: Sharp AL-1645CS
[17:46] <ikonia> guiledazimba___: contact the vendor for a driver
[17:46] <guiledazimba___> ikonia: dont have support to linux.. :/
[17:46] <dr_willis> I dont use vmware any more..  it got to much for my minimal needs. :)
[17:46] <guest1987> !min
[17:47] <nimrod10`> Diverdude, ofcourse you could just use vbox , but know you understand why redhat might be more widespread / used  then other flavours
[17:47] <reyes> Slart my fans are clean. I make this time ago
[17:47] <dr_willis> Biggest thing i do in virtualbox  = test new live cd's
[17:47] <ikonia> guiledazimba___: buy a printer that does have support
[17:47] <Triscar0> i have formated my hd, and trying to boot ubuntu 10.04 from cd, the cd starts but then the screen turns black and nothing happens, have tryed downloaded iso from different sites and burn new cd, nothing works!
[17:47] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  you did check the linuxprinting.org and cups.org sites?
[17:47] <dr_willis> Triscar0,  whats yoru video chipset?
[17:47] <Pici> dr_willis, Diverdude: you were asked to take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic as it is not related to Ubuntu support. Please do so.
[17:47] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | Triscar0
[17:48] <guiledazimba___> ikonia: but that is the printer in the bussines.
[17:48] <Diverdude> Pici, cal down. it is relatd to ubuntu. i am considering to use ubuntu or redhat
[17:48] <guiledazimba___> ikonia: no way to print?
[17:48] <ikonia> guiledazimba___: what do you want me to do ? it doesn't have linux support ? I can't make it have linux support, only the vendor can
[17:48] <ikonia> guiledazimba___: if it's not supported, no
[17:48] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  you have checked those 2 sites?
[17:49] <guiledazimba___> what sites?
[17:49] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  you did check the linuxprinting.org and cups.org sites?
[17:49] <guiledazimba___> ikonia: yeap
[17:49] <codex84> program
[17:49] <codex84> to shirnk wii iso
[17:49] <codex84> ???
[17:49] <guiledazimba___> ikonia: i read something about a virtual machine
[17:50] <ikonia> guiledazimba___: what about it ?
[17:50] <dr_willis> codex84,  any archiver tools can compress the iso into a zip or rar. or tar.gz
[17:50] <guiledazimba___> ikonia: install the printer in virtual machine with the native drivers and later share the printer with the main system ( in the case, linux )
[17:51] <ikonia> guiledazimba___: ok, but that's not printing in linux
[17:51] <guiledazimba___> ikonia: make sence?
[17:51] <dr_willis> i have to wonder how linux would havce drivers for a shared network printer in that case.. unless its a PLC5 printer or similer..
[17:51] <ikonia> guiledazimba___: not really no, but it's up to you if you want to do that
[17:51] <codex84> alright thanks
[17:51] <dr_willis> but if that was the case.. you could use plc5 on linux directly anyway.
[17:51] <codex84> dr lol
[17:52] <dr_willis> Guess you could use the Print-to-pdf type feature of ubuntu.
[17:52] <Slart> reyes: then I don't really know.. keep asking, perhaps there's someone out there who recognizes the problem
[17:52] <reyes> i send my problem to askubuntu. thx Slart :)
[17:52] <Slart> reyes: you're welcome
[17:53] <guiledazimba___> i try use PL5 but when i send a document to print, nothing hapens.. the solicitation appears in the spool but no pages printed
[17:53] <guiledazimba___> i tried pl3,4,5 and 6..
[17:53] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  you proberly need to research the priner more and figure out exactly what sort of drivers/alternative drivers it can use.

[18:10] <ajacmac> I'm trying to install python 2.7.2 and 3.1.4 on ubuntu netbook (10.04, if it matters), and apt-get can't seem to find them. Is this the correct channel?
[18:11] <subz3r0> no1 got an idea how i can fix my samba issue? ;(
[18:11] <Pici> ajacmac: python3.1 is available on 10.04, but 2.7 is not.
[18:12] <ajacmac> ah, ok thank you
[18:12] <Pici> !info python3.1 lucid
[18:12] <Success> i have 1104 though
[18:12] <Pici> !who | Success
[18:12] <dr_willis> subz3r0,  with samba - i often find it best to start with a simple config and work your way up. I never bother with those security settings
[18:13] <Success> ahbit
[18:14] <subz3r0> dr_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 weird
[18:14] <ajacmac> !tab?
[18:14] <subz3r0> interfaces = ip.of.the.netbooks, bind interfaces only = yes, und hosts allow = ip.of.the.client
[18:15] <subz3r0> when i uncomment them and restart the server everything works fine again
[18:15] <dr_willis> subz3r0,   if connecting in such places. i would just make sure samba is off.
[18:15] <dr_willis> subz3r0,  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?
[18:16] <subz3r0> 5-6 times a week. maybe u could tell me how i can stop samba from autorunning?
[18:16] <subz3r0> just need it to share documents to my netbook. thats why im using the share over nautilus
[18:17] <dr_willis> sudo service samba stop    to stop it as needed.. or remove/rename the /etc/init/  script that starts samba
[18:17] <dr_willis> subz3r0,  you could use winscp and ssh to get files back/forth if you wanted to..
[18:17] <dr_willis> you can also setup a 'home' share - and let the netbook get to your entire home directory.
[18:19] <selvakumaran> does any1 have installed Komodo Edit?
[18:19] <subz3r0> dr_willis,  when i remove the script with mv from /etc/init/.... to /home/user and want it back that the autostart works again, its no problem to move it back?
[18:20] <subz3r0> never moved something from /etc/init to somewhere
[18:20] <dr_willis> you can just rename ot to /etc/init/whateveritscalled.conf to  whatever.DONTRUN if you wanted to in the same dir
[18:20] <dr_willis> There may be a better way to disable/enable it on the fly.. but ive never really seen a better way
[18:20] <fajri> why after i'm install ubuntu 10.10. smart status : disk failure immminent
[18:21] <dr_willis>  sudo mv /etc/smbd.conf  /etc/init/smbd.DONTRUN
[18:22] <Slart> fajri: might be that one of your hard drives thinks that it's going to die soon
[18:22] <Jorl17> Hello, 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_willis> fajri,  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_willis> fajri,  but you may want to chck the disks with some other smart tools, and be sure to do proper backups
[18:23] <dr_willis> Jorl17,  why do you need them for wine?
[18:23] <Jorl17> I would simply like to know how to install these lib32 files.
[18:23] <Jorl17> Because wine is a 32-bit application and it needs the 32-bit libraries.
[18:23] <dr_willis> ive never needed to install  them for wine to work forme on my 64bit systems
[18:23] <dr_willis> Im not sure why wine would need the nvidia drivers at all.
[18:23] <Jorl17> For 3d
[18:24] <dr_willis> ive ran 3d games without doing this stuff.
[18:24] <Jorl17> D3D. But there's some *extra* thing I haven't said
[18:24] <Jorl17> And it becomes very important in fact
[18:24] <dr_willis> for direct3d tweaking you have checked out the winetricks tool? and the wine app database?
[18:24] <Jorl17> I own one of those optimus prime-suckers.
[18:24] <Renierius> Any 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] <guest1987> Q). is there a server i can pull sources.list files from for Ubuntu PPC ? ie the default one for your LANG ?
[18:25] <dr_willis> RenaKunisaki,  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 that
[18:25] <Jorl17> Winetricks 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] <selvakumaran> i couldn't install Komodo Edit as well as Aptana Studio , can one help me?
[18:26]  * RenaKunisaki headtilt
[18:26] <dr_willis> Dual GPU setups - are such a 'cutting edge work in progress'  all i can say is good luck.
[18:26] <dr_willis> Hope 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 them
[18:26] <Jorl17> Still, I didn't ask for help about that, I just asked out how to install the 32bit packages.
[18:27] <Triscar0> i 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_willis> Triscar0,  bios is not set to boot it.. or the usb stick is not made properly. so it goes to the HD.
[18:28] <Jorl17> Following discussions such as http://osdir.com/ml/hybrid-graphics-linux/2011-06/msg00039.html I see that there is some package nvidia-current-32
[18:28] <Jorl17> I mean lib32-nvidia-utils
[18:29] <Jorl17> but that's for arch. What about ubuntu?
[18:29] <guest1987> !sources.list
[18:30] <rahin> Hiya guys
[18:30] <Triscar0> dr_willis, but i have tryed cd and usb stick. and the cd booted but then the screen just got black.
[18:30] <Jorl17> Yes, but I'd like to know what the equivalent to lib32-nvidia-utils is
[18:30] <Jorl17> Pointing 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 libraries
[18:31] <BostX> Hi all
[18:32] <BostX> guys can anyone tell me how to make all the window borders and window titles smaller. I use gnome
[18:32] <rahin> \quit
[18:32] <BostX> ?
[18:32] <philipp_> ?
[18:33] <Jorl17> Is there really nobody around here that can simply tell me how to get those 32bit libraries in my 64bit machine?
[18:34] <Corey> Jorl17: Patience is a virtue.
[18:35] <Jorl17> Well, 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_willis> Triscar0,  have you tried the nomodeset option to see if its a video issue?
[18:35] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[18:35] <Corey> Jorl17: If you're looking for a specific file, apt-file is your friend.
[18:35] <Ervin89> Before 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)
[18:36] <dr_willis> BostX,  that would be a theme/window decorator setting/option.  easy way wouldbe find a theme with smaller title/borders
[18:36] <Jorl17> Corey, thanks, I will try that.
[18:36] <Pici> !floodbot | DOOD
[18:36] <dr_willis> !pastebin | Ervin89
[18:36] <Ervin89> ty dr_willis
[18:36] <Corey> Jorl17: apt-file update first, then apt-file search /path/to/file/in/question, it spits out which package contains it.
[18:36] <DOOD> hello
[18:37] <DOOD> can anybody help plz
[18:37] <dr_willis> DOOD,  tell the channel your problem/question/issue.
[18:37] <Jorl17> yeah I figured it out already by reading through the manual, thanks.
[18:37] <Ervin89> Hello 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/
[18:38] <dr_willis> Ervin89,  to run an app as root use gksudo.
[18:38] <dr_willis> Ervin89,  and i suggest just using the normal ubuntu.
[18:38] <dr_willis> sicne getting support for Fuduntu is not here...  no idea where it would be supported at.. check its homepage.
[18:39] <DOOD> i 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 what
[18:39] <wrd> !sound
[18:39] <Pici> Ervin89: They have their own channel here: #fuduntu
[18:40] <dr_willis> DOOD,  if you mean use windows drivers for a usb-network-adaptor.. they dont work in linux.
[18:40] <Ervin89> Well 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 unetboot
[18:40] <Corey> DOOD: What model of "network stick" are you referring to?
[18:40] <Ervin89> Thanks dr_willis and Pici no one is ever there
[18:40] <sarkis> hey guys, anyone using urxvt or xterm? if so, how are you starting this up in gnome?
[18:40] <DOOD> not a bramdded one
[18:40] <DOOD> n
[18:40] <sarkis> kind of sucks that i start up gnome-terminal to start urxvt or xterm :P
[18:40] <Corey> DOOD: There a part number on it somewhere?
[18:40] <dr_willis> Ervin89,  sounds like a good reason to use normal ubuntu then.
[18:41] <Ervin89> But skype then wont work
[18:41] <DOOD> one min
[18:41] <Jorl17> Corey Nope, I don't find any package that installs 32 bit NVIDIA packages. Any idea?
[18:41] <Corey> DOOD: 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_willis> sarkis,  make an icon on the desktop for it? use gnome-do? set it to be the default-terminal emulator? :)
[18:41] <Jorl17> I do find http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/nvidia-current/filelistbut that's for AMD64
[18:41] <Jorl17> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/nvidia-current/filelist *
[18:41] <dr_willis> Ervin89,  skype is breaking on everything these days it seems...
[18:41] <sarkis> dr_willis: thanks
[18:41] <sarkis> you guys using urxvt or xterm over gnome-terminal on buuntu?
[18:42] <DOOD> i dont understand u
[18:42] <qin> sarkis: urxvt
[18:42] <Corey> DOOD: Nevermind. :-)
[18:42] <DOOD> what do u mean
[18:42] <DOOD> 0:
[18:42] <Triscar0> ubuntu 10.04.2 dont boot, slackware 13.1 dont boot, slackware 13.37 boots up with cd, think my pc lives it own life.
[18:42] <DOOD> ):
[18:43] <dr_willis> sarkis,  personally i perfer 'terminator' these days
[18:43] <Ervin89> dr_willis: might be the noobest question ever but I guess gksudo does not work for me. I am guessing use that command in place for sudo correct?
[18:43] <DOOD> hello]
[18:43] <Corey> !pm | DOOD
[18:43] <dr_willis>  gksudo = is sudo for running gui apps.
[18:43] <Ervin89> yah command not found
[18:43] <DOOD> hello
[18:43] <dr_willis> Ervin89,  its a standard ubuntu command on gnome at least....
[18:43] <dr_willis> !gksudo
[18:44] <eoeas> DOOD: Accessories -> Terminal, then type: dmesg | tail -f
[18:44] <eoeas> Then plug in your USB device.
[18:44] <oal> Gaaah! That stupid new left-side bar in 11.04 gets stuck all the time. Either above all my windows unable to hide, or the app starter is stuck behind my windows, unable to get to the front. Wtf is happening?
[18:44] <noisewaterphd> use gnome
[18:44] <dr_willis> oal,  Unity is so flakey for me and my nvidia system here.. i cant even use it...
[18:44] <Dulak> oal: welcome to hell
[18:44] <BluesKaj> Triscar0,  I did suggest the alternate live cd, looks like you have a HW problem which the alternate might solve
[18:44] <Dbl_Tap> oal: just select ubutnu classic interface from login page.
[18:44] <dr_willis> I have to run 'unity --replace' like 10+ times a day
[18:45] <DOOD> ok i'm using windows to connect to the internet so try it in a few min
[18:45] <Triscar0> BluesKaj, what is the exact name of it? so i can find an url to download
[18:45] <oal> Dbl_Tap: thanks, that just saved my life :P
[18:45] <BluesKaj> !alternate
[18:45] <Dbl_Tap> oal: np I realy like cairo-dock, although a little off-topic.
[18:46] <DOOD> co' its on same computer
[18:46] <Nox> hey guys, can anyone give me some help in locating a "read me file" or anything usefull in getting started with backtrack4?
[18:46] <sayz> hi guys
[18:46] <Dbl_Tap> nox: do they not include a man page for the package?
[18:47] <BluesKaj>  !backtrack | Nox
[18:47] <Triscar0> BluesKaj, thnx i found it
[18:47] <Nox> nope just individual mans for exploits which sounds usefull but really un organized which becomes frustrating
[18:47] <DOOD> and online what operating system do i use for downloading
[18:47] <DOOD> ?
[18:47] <sayz> today, after updating, i can't open chromium-browser
[18:47] <DOOD> do i select
[18:48] <dr_willis> Ervin89,  fuduntu is 'fedora' based.. so you proberly should be asking in there..  it seems to have little if any ubuntu in it.. other then the name.
[18:48] <oal> dr_willis: now, unity --replace does not unstuck the left bar. This really is hell.
[18:48] <sayz> error is that: [1:1:10947628597:FATAL:rand_util_posix.cc(26)] Check failed: fd_ >= 0 (-1 vs. 0)Cannot open /dev/urandom: 2
[18:48] <eoeas> DOOD: Also try connecting via CAT5 cable to your modem, plug in the wireless, goto Administration -> Hardware drivers, chances are that is will get installed the easy way ;)
[18:48] <DOOD> but i also have its cd
[18:48] <Ervin89> yah I am there now dr_willis just trying ubuntu first. I seem to get better and more responses from here
[18:48] <BluesKaj> DOOD, you use windows to download then burn the ubuntu live iso
[18:49] <DOOD> it has linux or windows as choices
[18:49] <DOOD> so what do i choose
[18:50] <dr_willis> oal,  yep. ive basically given up on unity for now.  Im rolloing my own little desktop :)   openbox  + xcompmgr + docky
[18:50] <DOOD> can i have some help
[18:50] <DOOD> plz
[18:50] <Corey> DOOD: You're going to have to unfortunately be a little bit more descriptive.  Nobody here has the slightest clue what this network adapter actually is. :-)
[18:50] <sandyridgeracer> DOOD if u have a 2gb pen drive u can boot from pen drive itself...
[18:50] <DOOD> a network one
[18:50] <Corey> OH WELL THEN...
[18:50] <Ervin89> hahaha
[18:50] <oal>  DOOD, usb wifi dongle?
[18:51] <Corey> DOOD: Hang on.

[18:51] <Corey> DOOD: Fill that out and pastebin the result please.
[18:51] <Ervin89> hahahah Corey that is awesome
[18:52] <eoeas> Corey: Nice one :P
[18:52] <Ervin89> WOW see the Fedora people still have not even said anything in there
[18:52] <Dbl_Tap> ervin89: you'll have better luck later today in the fedora channel; there are quite a few that get on later.
[18:52] <Ervin89> Ahhh ok
[18:52] <oCean> Evixion: let's stay on topic, ok?
[18:53] <oCean> Evixion: sorry
[18:53] <guiledazimba___> can i install a virtual machine to host a printer (without drivers to linux) that can be shared with ubuntu??
[18:53] <oCean> Ervin89: let's stay on topic, ok?
[18:53] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  how is the printer hooked to the pc?
[18:54] <guiledazimba___> dr_willis: network

[18:56] <riyasmp> hi guys i am trying to install flash player plugin on ubuntu 11.04 64 bit from synaptic, i am getting this error message , Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-installer_10.3.181.22ubuntu0.11.04.1_amd64.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.167 80]
[18:56] <riyasmp> , can any one help
[18:56] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  you did check out the printer at the linuxprinting.org and cups.org site?  most printers have basic drivers that can at least do somthing.
[18:56] <guiledazimba___> dr_willis: the printer is conected in other computer via USB
[18:57] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  so its a 'shared printer'       - shared from a differnt pc.
[18:57] <dr_willis> vs. a 'network printer' like i have here.. that goes straight into the router via cat-5
[18:58] <guiledazimba___> dr_willis: yeap.. is a shared printer
[18:58] <torturedsoul> hi
[18:59] <torturedsoul> is there any live cd that is ONLY a linux terminal
[18:59] <torturedsoul> so i can run commands
[18:59] <guiledazimba___> but do not exist driver sto this printer
[18:59] <torturedsoul> i want something lite i can put on a usb and boot with
[18:59] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  so you have PC #1 - windows - shared printer....                   PC2 - UBuntu - wanting to access pc1/printer
[18:59] <torturedsoul> i dont need a gui
[18:59] <eoeas> riyasmp: Download it manually and use: dpkg i [package name]
[18:59] <torturedsoul> just a terminal...
[18:59] <oCean> riyasmp: that's a slightly older version than in the repositories. Run  sudo apt-get update  then apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
[18:59] <guiledazimba___> dr_willis: yes
[18:59] <tertl3> torturedsoul, just kill gnome
[19:00] <dr_willis> torturedsoul,  theres disrtos like that.. see  the disrtowatch.com site.. check out tinycorelinux. most have options to do a console. or desktop. ubuntu has the 'text' optioon to go to console.
[19:00] <eoeas> riyasmp: The link does not work, server issue or incorrect repository entry.
[19:00] <torturedsoul> thanks dr willis
[19:00] <dddbmt> hey guys, could anybody take a look at these errors for me? It's occuring when I try to run update manager.

[19:00] <torturedsoul> lol
[19:00] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  windows has some sort of generic 'pdf' type printer driver. and linux can do a 'print to pdf'  feature. you can proberly get going.  it may depend on the exact printer..
[19:00] <rtyui> very hot here
[19:00] <torturedsoul> 'micro tiny core' only 6mb
[19:01] <oCean> rtyui: do you have a support question?

[19:02] <rtyui> i got ubuntu lucid oCean
[19:03] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  a quick google search for that printer and 'ubuntu' mentions ------> http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSPSprinter/GSPSprinter.html
[19:03] <g0th> hi
[19:03] <g0th> what is a good program to do scripting with scalable vector graphics?
[19:03] <dddbmt> I get these errors when trying to run Update Manager in ubuntu 11.04; http://pastebin.com/YRNR2eSj - I guess i need to edit sources.list ?
[19:03] <g0th> like: "take this figure, rotate it, scale it and put it there"
[19:03] <guiledazimba___> dr_willis: http://www.openprinting.org/printers
[19:03] <Slart> g0th: imagemagick might be able to do that
[19:04] <Slart> g0th: not sure if that's just bitmaps though..
[19:04] <Slart> !imagemagick | g0th
[19:04] <Slart> oh.. no factoid about that.. sorry g0th
[19:04] <g0th> I know imagemagick
[19:04] <g0th> I guess you mean the api?
[19:04] <oCean> rtyui: the installation manual of your cms should describe what you have to install (prereqs) to use mail (and other) options
[19:05] <g0th> for programming?
[19:05] <joshuaL> I want to use PulseAudio as DLNA server. I already installed rygel but I eccounter errors when I connect to it with my PS3..
[19:05] <joshuaL> Any suggestions?
[19:05] <Slart> g0th: or use bash for your programming.. or python with the api.. depends on how much "programming" you have to do
[19:05] <dr_willis> guiledazimba___,  also i think win7 has some sort of 'virtual pdf' printer. you could print to from linux and it converts to pdf, then could print.. you will have todo some work to get  that thing going it seems
[19:05] <torturedsoul> hmm
[19:06] <dr_willis> DLNA is such a neat idea.. that works.. so poorly at times. :(  some times it works very well
[19:06] <Triscar0> BluesKaj, it boots up, but now my keyboard dont work! lol
[19:06] <torturedsoul> making it into usb bootable thingy magig
[19:06] <torturedsoul> should i select convert isolinux based bootable dvd or wrapt bootable dvd
[19:06] <torturedsoul> im using flashboot
[19:06] <dr_willis> never heard of flashboot.. I reccomend the tools at the pendrivelinux web site.
[19:06] <torturedsoul> i have that tool
[19:06] <torturedsoul> it failed me for ubuntu
[19:07] <dr_willis> or just set up a grub2 setup to boot the iso.. pendrivelinux has tools to automate that also.
[19:07] <torturedsoul> downloaded latest ubuntu iso, used pendrive linux... wont boot from my new usb stick
[19:07] <dr_willis> I have had specific stick/some machine issues.. that then work on other machines... older USB sticks/machiens seem more problematic.
[19:07] <torturedsoul> new laptop, new stick (limited edition even lol)
[19:08] <g0th> Slart: can imagemagick handle complicated image compositions through command line?
[19:09] <dr_willis> torturedsoul,  does the stick not boot.. or does ubuntu boot but fails to boot properly to desktop?  (2 very difffent problems)
[19:10] <torturedsoul> the stick boots and says something along the lines of
[19:10] <torturedsoul> iso not found
[19:10] <Slart> g0th: 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?
[19:11] <torturedsoul> its a sandisk cruizer blade 4gb stick
[19:11] <torturedsoul> the one made of plastic that is so light u lose it after 1 week
[19:12] <dr_willis> torturedsoul,  theres unetbootin, and lili, and like 3 other tools at pendrivelinux, and proberly 5+ other tools taht can put the iso on a flash drive.. try some other one i guess..
[19:12] <adas> Anyone using ccextractor or know how to compile it?
[19:12] <dr_willis> then theres the ubuntu usb-disk-creator tools.
[19:12] <torturedsoul> ok
[19:12] <rhin0> converts most image formats to other formats in most sizes and shapes (imagemagick convert command)
[19:12] <torturedsoul> im no expert, probably i did something wrong
[19:12] <dr_willis> torturedsoul,  just dont try dding the iso to the flash.. that wont work
[19:12] <torturedsoul> yea of course
[19:13] <dr_willis> it CAN work for some disrtos. :) not ubuntu however
[19:13] <torturedsoul> i just used pendrivelinux to put microlinux on it
[19:13] <torturedsoul> selected use new syslinux
[19:13] <torturedsoul> as it wasnt in the list
[19:13] <torturedsoul> not i have ldlinux.sys and a folder called boot on the stick
[19:13] <torturedsoul> hopefully will work need restart to find out though
[19:13] <yaaar> howdy
[19:13] <torturedsoul> now*
[19:14] <dr_willis> I use some Multi-iso tool from pendrivelinux. it puts the isos on the pendrive. and lets you have several disrtos at the same time ont eh same pendrive
[19:14] <sysdoc_> I've read that gnome-shell from the repos breaks Unity is this still the case? Is the gnome-shell in the repos maintained by ubuntu or is it being ignored completely?
[19:14] <dr_willis> Its being focused on for the next release I belive sysdoc_
[19:15] <dr_willis> Not much work in getting it going on the current release that ive heard of.
[19:15] <yaaar> so 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] <xangua> sysdoc_: gnome 3 is not currently supported on 11.04
[19:15] <rtyui> i prefer to ask my question here oCean
[19:16] <yaaar> it 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 email
[19:17] <yaaar> oh and btw i'm on 10.04
[19:17] <yaaar> (but this is the same in 11.04)
[19:17] <dr_willis> yaaar,  sounds like a good question for askubuntu.com    (or it may allready been asked there)  -  I never use layouts. :)
[19:18] <yaaar> dr_willis: yeah, i use colemak...but occasionally somebody will want to sit at my computer and do something, so i have a standard qwerty layout available for them
[19:20] <simchan5005> hi guys, how can i get my touchpad work. i intalled 11.04 and it cant work anymore
[19:20] <sysdoc_> dr_willis, thanks
[19:20] <trism> yaaar: 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 applications
[19:21] <trism> yaaar: scim used to have that setting as well, but the earlier versions of ibus didn't have it
[19:23] <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] <yaaar> trism: 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).
[19:24] <Dbl_Tap> shreymech; in nautilus open in archive manager then extract files to location. should have setup scripts in there.
[19:24] <maco> yaaar: ibus is for input method stuff, like to type in japanese. you're just looking at the keyboard indicator i think
[19:25] <shreymech> Dbl_Tap; i checked but can't see any...
[19:25] <maco> yaaar: 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 unity
[19:25] <Pici> shreymech: Which release of Ubuntu are you using?
[19:25] <yaaar> maco: i'm on 10.04, so (thankfully) i'm not dealing with unity
[19:25] <trism> yaaar: ahh, alright, sorry, I know what you mean now, that's controlled by gnome-settings-daemon
[19:25] <shreymech> Pici; currently using a 3.6 release..
[19:25] <yaaar> oh for pete's sake. sorry guys, i'm just blind
[19:25] <Pici> shreymech: Thats not what I asked you.  What version of *Ubuntu* are you using?
[19:26] <shreymech> Pici; now i have downloaded a version 5 few min. back
[19:26] <shreymech> Pici; i am using 10.04
[19:26] <Dbl_Tap> shreymech: should be a readme file in the location you extracted to. Does anything exist there? or is the .tar.gz file empty
[19:26] <Pici> shreymech: there is a PPA available for firefox5.
[19:27] <yaaar> i had previously looked at the keyboad prefs, but somehow had completely missed the checkbox labeled "separate layout for each window" ....duh.
[19:27] <shreymech> Dbl_tap; in that read me file only the link path from where i downloaded mozilla 5 exist
[19:27] <xangua> !fx5 | shreymech
[19:27] <Pici> shreymech: That will allow you to upgrade via apt, and will take care of all security patches as they become available.
[19:28] <Pici> shreymech: In a terminal, just write: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
[19:28] <ssbr_> Are there some packages that are in Ubuntu Server Edition but not Ubuntu/Kubuntu/etc. ? "sudo apt-get install alfresco-community" doesn't work here
[19:28] <ssbr_> (unlike as implied on http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/alfresco )
[19:28] <jrib> ssbr_: no
[19:28] <ssbr_> jrib: so how do I find out what a package was renamed to?
[19:28] <Pici> ssbr_: The partner repository is not enabled by default.
[19:29] <jrib> !partner | ssbr_
[19:29] <shreymech> Pici; after that ?
[19:30] <Pici> shreymech: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:30] <ssbr_> I did that command and an apt-get update , still can't install alfresco-community :(
[19:31] <jrib> ssbr_: what ubuntu version
[19:31] <ssbr_> kubuntu 11.4
[19:32] <shreymech> Pici; 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] <Pici> shreymech: It sounds like you haven't been upgrading your packages regularly. regularly
[19:32] <shreymech> Pici; from many days internet connection was not available to me.. now i am back
[19:33] <Pici> shreymech: You can try doing just an: apt-get upgrade, but that is not gauranteed to pull in the new firefox package(s).
[19:33] <shreymech> Pici; but then i need to go through 2 upgrades.. one from 10.04 - 10.10 and than 10.10 - 11.04 ...
[19:33] <Pici> shreymech: Alternatively, just do: apt-get install firefox
[19:33] <Pici> shreymech: yes.
[19:34] <gillyman> i have my buddys computer, and it will not boot past the HP start up screen, can i do a system recovery with out the back up disk
[19:34] <shreymech> Pici; But as i am in india so net connectivity here is not very fast thats why i m thinking of downloading and installing a fresh 11.04 instead of going through long upgradation
[19:35] <jrib> ssbr_: one second.  I see the packages, but they don't seem to be in the index
[19:35] <Pici> shreymech: You can just use the last command I gave you to just install Firefox, so you can do an upgrade to 11.04 at your convenience.
[19:36] <shreymech> Pici; yes it is getting installed .. thanks.. Hmm i have decided to install a fresh 11.04 .. but will it be worth .. is it far far better than 10.04.. if not than i can skip 11.04
[19:38] <Pici> shreymech: If you'd prefer to stay at the LTS release, you can wait until 12.04 comes out.
[19:38] <shreymech> Pici; ohkk.. yes i usually prefer a LTS release..
[19:38] <Pici> shreymech: 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)
[19:39] <shockrates> hey
[19:39] <shockrates> can someone please add those 2 deb packages in ubuntu repository? http://pcsxr.codeplex.com/releases/view/50048 Thanks
[19:40] <shreymech> Pici; ok i will run that command to.. and in between my firefox 5 is installed... hey by security do u mean by protection against virus.. but i knw that linux are free from viruses so no security is needed
[19:40] <Pici> shreymech: I mean any security update. Sometimes bugs are found that expose vulnerabilities in software.
[19:41] <xangua> !packaging > shockrates
[19:41] <jrib> ssbr_: seems like it was only built for jaunty
[19:41] <Monotoko> hmmm...since the debian room are being asses...can I post a debian server related question in here, since it's all based on debian?
[19:41] <shreymech> Pici; oh ok.. hey even that dist-upgrate is showing around 640 Mb's of download.. :(
[19:41] <ssbr_> jrib: Oh. how would I file a bug report to get that page taken down, then?
[19:42] <Jan\> is there a way to access the app repository from a browser?
[19:42] <jrib> ssbr_: if I recall correctly, you can file bugs against the website at launchpad.net
[19:43] <oCean> Jan\: sure, http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ for example
[19:44] <Jan\> ok
[19:45] <Jan\> ah, is there a way to list it similar the way ubuntu lists it?
[19:45] <oCean> Jan\: ?
[19:45] <Jan\> i'm looking for a faxing app
[19:45] <penfold_99> is there a command to install ubunut-desktop but with the attional software packages
[19:45] <Pici> Jan\: http://packages.ubuntu.com might be what you're looking for.
[19:45] <oCean> Jan\: or just  apt-cache search fax | less
[19:46] <Jan\> thx Pici oCean
[19:46] <ssbr_> jrib: I'm not seeing it. THe bug link takes you to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs which is for bugs in the software
[19:46] <jrib> ssbr_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website
[19:46] <penfold_99> sorry meant without the additional software packages?
[19:47] <ssbr_> jrib: oh, alright, thanks
[19:48] <somekool> hi there
[19:48] <somekool> seems like make-kpkg is missing in Natty
[19:48] <BlackDalek> How do I stream webcam over LAN with the current version VLC? Online instructions for doing this apparently don't exist. There are only instructions for doing this with the old version of VLC, which has a totally different GUI or using a windoze wizard... How do I do this using the current version GUI?
[19:49] <trism> somekool: it is there, install kernel-package
[19:49] <trism> !info kernel-package | somekool
[19:50] <PythonSnake> Hi again
[19:51] <kalvin> is there any way to reload the network/interfaces? I append a new interface and I wanna put it in work
[19:51] <kalvin> ubuntu 10.04 server
[19:51] <PythonSnake> Why do people use 10.04 ..
[19:51] <noisewaterphd> lts
[19:51] <Pici> !lts | PythonSnake
[19:52] <kalvin> PythonSnake: LTS
[19:52] <PythonSnake> And 11.04 is not lts ?
[19:52] <Pici> PythonSnake: No.
[19:53] <jasim> hi
[19:53] <PythonSnake> How many years it'll be supported ?
[19:53] <Pici> PythonSnake: LTSes are released every two years. 12.04 will be the next LTS.
[19:53] <Pici> PythonSnake: 18 Months.
[19:53] <PythonSnake> Why does it matter ?
[19:53] <PythonSnake> I can update version ..
[19:54] <BlackDalek> in the old VLC it was like you could just open a capture device and tick the "stream" box and choose a protocol and you were away.... Now you have to go to streaming and fill out multiple pages of forms and questions which no human could ever understand except the programmer who made it. So.. does anyone here know how to stream webcam over a LAN in VLC?
[19:54] <vividshock> I need help
[19:55] <guntbert> kalvin: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:55] <Dbl_Tap> vividshock: just ask your question
[19:55] <vividshock> Ok uhh
[19:55] <kalvin> guntbert: it will restart all interfaces
[19:55] <vividshock> Trying to install lubuntu on my laptop
[19:55] <kalvin> guntbert: and it's deprecated way
[19:55] <Shinydan> what's the easiest way to check CPU temperature? x86 architecture, Natty.
[19:55] <vividshock> but the thing is it has only 224 MB of ram
[19:55] <kalvin> guntbert: I want in a upstart way
[19:56] <vividshock> So I let it run on a live cd i burned and tried to run it off disc to check if it can even start on my laptop but its stuck at loading screen
[19:57] <guntbert> kalvin: you asked for "reload the network/interfaces"
[19:58] <BlackDalek> I have to go............ if anyone at all knows how to stream webcam over a LAN using the current VLC user interface, then please PM me. I will be back in about 2 hours
[19:59] <joshbuntu> hey guys.  sadly, I type his from my tablet, because gnome-panel won't start for me.  I cleared the. gconf/2 and,.gnome/2 dies, no change.
[19:59] <Dbl_Tap> exit
[20:03] <Terabyte> i want to install java runtime on a server. any advice other than just sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[20:03] <Terabyte> i don't want the dev kit, just the ability to run jars
[20:04] <photon> let's say I want to backup my file system to DVD storage. I'll need to archive my files and split them into chunks that fit on DVDs. probably something like this: tar -cvpz <put other options here> / | split -d -b 3900m - /name/of/backup.tar.gz  .... is there any way to make sure that ‘split’ waits for a pressed key or something after each created chunk? so that I can burn it to disk and delete it before continuing, thus not requiring a whole lot
[20:04] <photon> of disk space for the backup archive?
[20:05] <Terabyte> to put it another way, that sun-java6-jre is obsolete, where's the new one
[20:09] <ohir> photon: dumping nowadays' file systems on dvd makes no sense. For system backup all you need is list of packages you frequently use, your /etc and /home/you
[20:10] <ohir> photon: for gui backups search ubuntu forums
[20:10] <ohir> !backup | photon
[20:12] <Salt_water> Hello
[20:16] <Triscar0> i have just installed ubuntu 10.04.2, and when im going to start it up for the first time i get this error "sis630_smbus 0000:00:02.0: SIS630 comp. bus not detected, module not inserted." what the f.. is wrong now then ?
[20:19] <michigan101> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.game.WarStrategy
[20:21] <Triscar0> i changed video card and its now up running, finaly
[20:22] <mimico> hi, does anyone have any experience using skype video chat with Ubuntu?
[20:22] <TrevInc> I do! It didn't really work
[20:22] <mecho> aa yea it dooo i vedeo skype every night
[20:23] <mimico> mecho: how is the video quality?
[20:24] <mimico> I have it in a virtual machine using the LTS and it is very choppy...
[20:24] <mimico> I am wondering if it's because it's a vm...
[20:24] <TrevInc> mimico: undoubtedly
[20:25] <TrevInc> try Wubi
[20:25] <mimico> Being able to set up skype well is the deciding factor here.
[20:25] <mimico> what's Wubi?
[20:25] <PythonSnake> !wubi | mimico
[20:27] <mimico> hmmm.  Just want to get rid of the Vista all together.  So the decision is between Ubuntu LTS or Windows 7.
[20:27] <PythonSnake> mimico: Ubuntu
[20:27] <mimico> I just put it on my vm as a demonstration for the person...
[20:27] <tertl3> mimico, why not dual boot?
[20:28] <mimico> tertl3: Because she hates the Vista.
[20:28] <neo21> mimico if you are on intel you should be safe switching to ubuntu
[20:28] <mimico> neo21: So the skype will work well on intel in Ubuntu?
[20:28] <tertl3> well, ok
[20:29] <neo21> mimico: do you have a notebook or desktop?
[20:30] <GaveUp> trying to set ulimit -c unlimited on a non-root account but the setting doesn't take ... is there some file/other setting that needs to be changed to enable core dumps?
[20:37] <stowoda> hi.
[20:37] <tertl3> hello
[20:37] <edbian> hello
[20:38] <stowoda> can I rename /home/luk/Dokumente/ to .../EigeneDateien/ ?
[20:38] <edbian> Yes
[20:38] <stowoda> because in /home/luk/.. there are two directories named: Dokumente & Downloads
[20:39] <MK``> Ok, I need help. On occasion I get this strange bug where it doesn't seem my clicks register in windows I have open. The keyboard works fine, and when I switch to another workspace everything works as normal, but when I return to the affected workspace this continues seemingly randomly. It's not the touchpad, any idea what the problem is?
[20:39] <photon> stowoda: sure, you can do that, just make sure you don't rename your home folder /home/luk/
[20:39] <stowoda> every time I want to autocomplete after just typing a "D" i have to add the next letters
[20:39] <stowoda> photon, will all the software notice that change?
[20:40] <stowoda> hmm or maybe I just rename the Download dir..
[20:40] <stowoda> and tell firefox to store downloads elswhere..
[20:40] <Dbl_Tap> stowoda: just touble tab it will list available options. There are multiple folders or files that start with D is all.
[20:40] <jiltdil> stowoda
[20:40] <photon> stowoda: software will probably not notice it, but with most software the download directories won't be hardwired, but can be set somewhere in preferences.
[20:40] <stowoda> understand..
[20:41] <Triscar0> when i installed ubuntu 10.04.2 i configuered the network, but now when i booted up for first time, i can not ping a network ip or anything? cant update
[20:41] <guntbert> stowoda: rename it to downloads ... (linux is case sensitive)
[20:41] <stowoda> yeah, thought about that too
[20:41] <jiltdil> stowoda:make softlink
[20:41] <photon> or that, yes
[20:41] <aquarat> has anyone had an issue where they've been playing music or watching flash under Ubuntu and pitch has changed ?
[20:41] <stowoda> but thats not the perfect way.. one dir will begin with capital and the other one with small letters
[20:41] <aquarat> as in, the pitch changes every 30 seconds or so
[20:42] <stowoda> jillsmitt, softlink?
[20:42] <stowoda> whats that?
[20:42] <photon> stowoda: ln -s
[20:42] <photon> stowoda: man ln
[20:42] <porchmonkey> my browser will only play youtube audio when i launch it from a root shell. how do i fix it
[20:42] <aquarat> symbolic link
[20:42] <stowoda> ok, will look in that direction
[20:42] <stowoda> thanks
[20:44] <porchmonkey> jillsmitt: you mean symlink don'tcha
[20:44] <stowoda> ln -s  is a perfect solution
[20:44] <stowoda> :)
[20:44] <stowoda> thank You
[20:44] <photon> yw
[20:44] <jiltdil> welcome
[20:44] <Salt_water> Hello
[20:45] <porchmonkey> hi
[20:45] <Salt_water> not sleeping?
[20:46] <porchmonkey> o.O
[20:46] <oCean> Salt_water: do you have a support question?
[20:46] <Salt_water> yes :)
[20:46] <Salt_water> knoppix+flashplugin
[20:46] <Salt_water> :)
[20:46] <oCean> Salt_water: this channel is about ubuntu, not knoppix
[20:47] <Salt_water> I know :(
[20:47] <oCean> Salt_water: so this is not the right place to ask
[20:47] <Salt_water> but everybody is sleeping in the knoppix channel
[20:47] <starsinmypockets> Greetings.. I just opened a linode VPS running under Ubuntu - what directory is served to the web?
[20:47] <oCean> Salt_water: and in #ubuntu-bg ?
[20:48] <adub> how on earth can i run a command to setup a hidden ssid connection for wpa2 i have tried most everything i know
[20:48] <Salt_water> I will try there
[20:48] <adub> like i assume i have to iwconfig wlan0 essid nameofssidforap
[20:49] <oCean> Salt_water: actually, it is offtopic there too, but they might point you to a better suited channel than this one. Thanks for understanding
[20:49] <adub> then beyond that im lost i have tired to use wpa_supplicant i can bring my ap up on linux via other ways
[20:49] <adub> like if ssid is not hidden it is no problem for me to connect
[20:49] <porchmonkey> wpa_supplicant AFAIK handles all that
[20:49] <Salt_water> I see, thank you anyway
[20:49] <adub> ya i have tried
[20:49] <Salt_water> and have a good night
[20:50] <Triscar0> what is the command to get ip on my ubuntu box ?
[20:50] <porchmonkey> Salt_water: your plugins for flash ought to be in the mozilla plugins directory, whereis mozilla
[20:50] <Triscar0> ifconfig shows that its not connected to network
[20:50] <edbian> Triscar0: ip addr
[20:51] <edbian> Triscar0: If you're not connected you don't have an IP address...
[20:51] <Salt_water> I am using iceweasel actually
[20:51] <porchmonkey> Salt_water: and you can have more than one and choose it in update-alternatives --config
[20:51] <johnadam> what's a good channel to ask visual studio questions?
[20:51] <porchmonkey> Salt_water: i use the mozilla-plugin-gnash package
[20:51] <oCean> porchmonkey: it's knoppix, it's offtopic here
[20:51] <Triscar0> edbian, i want it to get ip from the router
[20:51] <edbian> Triscar0: wired or wireless ?
[20:51] <photon> I have a list of hundreds of URLs which I intend to use with ‘wget -i’. Is there any way to find out the total amount of bytes of all those files before hand? something like wget, but which does not download the file, but only checks its size?
[20:51] <Triscar0> wired
[20:52] <Triscar0> i configed it on install but dont work now?
[20:52] <edbian> Triscar0: plug the cable into the router.  It should work.
[20:52] <edbian> Triscar0: does it not?
[20:52] <stowoda> photon, just one question.. are the links permanent?
[20:52] <Loreley> My ubuntu cannot see the built in webcam. At least it looks like.
[20:52] <photon> stowoda: yes
[20:52] <stowoda> ok
[20:52] <Salt_water> I am trying to install it now
[20:53] <stowoda> thx
[20:53] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: which ip are you looking for
[20:53] <photon> stowoda: depends on what you mean by permanent, though.
[20:53] <photon> stowoda: it's just an entry that says "if you enter this directory, really enter my target"
[20:53] <Loreley> I have a second HP 625, where I can use my webcam in cheese and Skype. What can I try to make it work?
[20:53] <photon> stowoda: if you move the target directory/file, the link is broken
[20:53] <Loreley> (Both computers shall be the same)
[20:53] <Triscar0> i want to get the computer online and connected to the network
[20:54] <Triscar0> 192.168.0.blablabla
[20:54] <TheMatrix3000> is it possible to do a "sudo cp /home/defaultuser/Desktop/* /home/$USER/Desktop/
[20:54] <dimas_> i installed idjc-0.8.4 that come with ubuntu 10.4 but i a having problems to connect to the jack so i have been reading around and i found in the source project that is a new version but when i try install it from the same page it tell me that a file is missing...anyhow i want to know if there is a way i can get the package update to my available programs so i use the installer from ubuntu
[20:55] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: did you try ip ro
[20:55] <aquarat> you'd want to add in -r (for recursive) and -v (verbose)
[20:55] <stowoda> photon, permanent in means of presistent after a reboot
[20:55] <photon> stowoda: yes
[20:55] <aquarat> and there's an argument for preserve attributes too
[20:55] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: yes, why not?
[20:55] <stowoda> ok thats fine
[20:55] <Triscar0> porchmonkey, tryed now, nothing happend
[20:55] <olewolf> Hi. I'm having problems setting up an LDAP directory in Evolution. On the command-line, ldapsearch -x -h crtdir.certifikat.dk -b "c=DK" "(mail=wolf@blazingangles.com)" shows that I can indeed query the directory. Evolution won't search the database, however; how can I trouble-shoot it?
[20:56] <olewolf> I should perhaps add that Thunderbird is able to search the directory.
[20:56] <aquarat> cp --help : "-a, --archive                same as -dR --preserve=all"
[20:56] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: well what you want to do from what i know is ask dhcp to give you a random ip and then note the nameservers if from what i understand you are setting up static
[20:57] <Triscar0> DHCP
[20:57] <porchmonkey> dhclient <device>
[20:59] <pillowrice> i have an old macbook pro (2005 vintage). Anyone tried installing ubuntu on such a machine, or know how well the hardware is supported?
 I installed it but it is not ok
[20:59] <Salt_water> blinking and loading
[20:59] <oCean> Salt_water: please drop the discussion here
[21:00] <Triscar0> porchmonkey, dhclient eth1 ?
[21:00] <Salt_water> ok
[21:00] <Salt_water> thank you guys
[21:00] <Salt_water> anyway
[21:00] <Triscar0> im soo tired of this now, the pc will go out the window in seconds...
[21:00] <Triscar0> have been trying to get linux on this pc all day, always something...
[21:01] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: take it easy big fella
[21:02] <djr013> Any ideas how I can get boinc to be scheduled as low (idle) priority? Even at nice 19 it's taking up half the processor time.
[21:02] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: why dont you just move the router and modem in near your linux box and wire
[21:02] <TheMatrix3000> is it possible to do a "sudo cp /home/defaultuser/Desktop/* /home/$USER/Desktop/" and have it copy data to all users
[21:02] <TheMatrix3000> or how would i copy from one Desktop folder to everyones desktop folder
[21:02] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: wireless is always a pain in the ass
[21:02] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: You'd have to make a script to do more than one user
[21:02] <djr013> Someone mentioned something on processing grouping before but no idea how that works.
[21:03] <somekool> trism: thanks ! maybe thats because I started from a bootstrap. I will run apt-cache update again
[21:03] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: but basically you want to put the device up, ifconfig <device> up
[21:03] <tripelb> how do I tell what version of adobe flash I have?  I should know how.. but I dont.
[21:04] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: configure it and then get dhclient to give you an ip which you can set dynamically or static in /etc/network/interfaces
[21:04] <whitehat> hello group.  i'm having difficulty restarting ssh.  sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart   returns...  Rathaer than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d.......  I"m running 11.04
[21:04] <porchmonkey> or just issue commands until you get it
[21:04] <djr013> tripelb: Adobe has a version check on their site...somewhere.
[21:05] <Bloodboil> Hey 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] <djr013> tripelb: 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] <edbian> Bloodboil: What do you mean 'security stuff' ?
[21:05] <Triscar0> porchmonkey, now it got ip, but now i tryed to connect to it wit putty from my windows computer, and it refuses my conection ?
[21:06] <guntbert> whitehat: it is sshd
[21:06] <Bloodboil> As in firewalls, anti-virus etc etc. Mainly firewall thought
[21:06] <edbian> Bloodboil: You don't need them :)
[21:06] <Bloodboil> O.o you're kidding me?
[21:06] <whitehat> guntbert: yes,  however in /etc/init.d  is is ssh i.e. /etc/init.d/ssh
[21:06] <edbian> Bloodboil: Most people on linux do not run either.
[21:06] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: open your router panel and open the port on the ip it assigned u
[21:06] <edbian> Bloodboil: This might start a flame war
[21:06] <guntbert> !av | Bloodboil
[21:07] <vash> I only use an anti-virus to scan my windows partition
[21:07] <edbian> Bloodboil: 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 Windows
[21:07] <pillowrice> if i want to install ubuntu on a macbook pro, do i need boot camp?
[21:07] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: 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 triggering
[21:08] <Bloodboil> I 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] <edbian> Bloodboil: 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 rare
[21:08] <edbian> Bloodboil: ccc ?
[21:08] <porchmonkey> and input the number it issued you.. ssh ought be port 22 if i'm not mistaken
[21:09] <edbian> Bloodboil: superuser (root) is the account that can do everything.  In Ubuntu you access super user using sudo
[21:09] <guntbert> whitehat: try sudo restart ssh
[21:10] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: 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 line
[21:10] <Triscar0> porchmonkey, 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] <whitehat> guntbert: sudo service ssh restart returns the error "restart: unknown instance:
[21:11] <whitehat> is upstart the current sysV utility in ubuntu?
[21:11] <guntbert> whitehat: no,  not the "service..." way, yes upstart is on the way...
[21:12] <Sidewinder1> Bloodboil, You might find this of particular interest: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=338
[21:12] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: 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 upgrade
[21:13] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: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] <whitehat> guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634532/
[21:14] <Triscar0> i have the server in dmz mode on the router so all the ports are open, but can still not putty 192.168.0.195 with port 22 in putty
[21:14] <ttiicc> I just installed ubuntu 11.04 and would like to have windows 7 as the default boot option in the splash screen! how could I fix this?
[21:14] <TheMatrix3000> i want to create a desktop link when a user logs in, how can i do that
[21:15] <TheMatrix3000> i just want to copy a file to every users directory
[21:15] <TheMatrix3000> every users home directory
[21:15] <djr013> ttiicc: Google "configure grub2 default boot".
[21:15] <porchmonkey> Triscar0: not positive but i belive you should go into port triggering and tell it specifically where to send the signal, dmz i vaguely remember isnt going to get you all the way there. look under gaming
[21:15] <tripelb> djr013, I dont know how to check a package version or what a package manager is.I have this Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
[21:15] <jiltdil> whitecat: did you tried at the first time sudo service ssh  start
[21:16] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: Do you want to copy it once or make them all the same?
[21:16] <tripelb> sorry
[21:16] <guntbert> whitehat: strange, what does status ssh  tell?
[21:16] <ttiicc> djr013 thanks
[21:16] <whitehat> guntbert: i don't have "status" as a command
[21:17] <whitehat> guntbert: status ssh -> ssh stop/waiting
[21:17] <guntbert> whitehat: then it is not running, try sudo start ssh
[21:18] <jiltdil> whitecat:look i have  told you above
[21:18] <TheMatrix3000> i want to copy it once
[21:18] <whitehat> guntbert: sudo start ssh -> ssh stop/pre-start, process 3041
[21:18] <tripelb> djr013, sorry that line was trash. I found it. "That is the first time I've done anything useful with Synaptic in all the year/s I've been using Ubuntu" finally. (I use apt-get)
[21:19] <TheMatrix3000> i just upgraded to 11.04 and have to change everyones desktop link from openoffice to libreoffice
[21:19] <djr013> tripelb: Also this might help, not sure if it's right though: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[21:19] <TheMatrix3000> i did a find -name and removed all the openoffice links
[21:20] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: i just need to copy the libreoffice links to everyone now
[21:20] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: You can copy them once and be done with it?
[21:20] <monokrome> Hey. Does anyone here know how to sync your iPhone to Ubuntu 11?
[21:20] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: How many users you got?
[21:20] <guntbert> whitehat: and now sudo status ssh?
[21:21] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: yes
[21:21] <whitehat> guntbert: sudo status ssh -> ssh stop/waiting
[21:21] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: basically i just need to put the new shortcut in everyones desktop
[21:21] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: i already modified /etc/skel/ for new users
[21:21] <Triscar0> porchmonkey, dident work. connect with ftp port 21 dont work either
[21:21] <Wayland> hey, how can i bring up the ubuntu update window again?
[21:21] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: How many users you got?
[21:21] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: just need to change the current users
[21:21] <TheMatrix3000> 70
[21:21] <jiltdil> whitehat:sudo service ssh start
[21:21] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: 70 users
[21:22] <guntbert> whitehat: strange, here it works as expected, did your sshd run before?
[21:22] <whitehat> jiltdil: sudo service ssh start -> ssh stop/pre-start, process 3354
[21:22] <jjovereats> hello. I am having backup woes again. I am earmarking files for short term DVD backup, to transfer to the PBell.
[21:22] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: That's a lot.  Hang on while I figure out the bash script we need to write
[21:22] <jiltdil> whitehatnow  :sudo service ssh restart
[21:23] <whitehat> guntbert: yes.  i think it may have to do with some of the upstart/sysv /etc/int.d issues and thus the error
[21:23] <jiltdil> whitehat  :now what it tellssudo service ssh restart
[21:23] <jiltdil> whitehat  :now what it tells sudo service ssh restart
[21:23] <djr013> Any ideas how I can get boinc to be scheduled as low (idle) priority? Even at nice 19 it's taking up half the processor time.
[21:24] <TheMatrix3000> i wish i could do a /home/*/Desktop but that does not work
[21:24] <TheMatrix3000> lol
[21:24] <whitehat> jiltdil: sudo service ssh start -> ssh stop/pre-start, process 3544
[21:24] <djr013> TheMatrix3000: No symlinking, either?
[21:24] <dimas_> could someone help me with this?...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1792197&highlight=idjc+unable+connect+jack+server
[21:24] <jiltdil> whitehat: this one now sudo service ssh restart
[21:24] <whitehat> i only have ssh-agent running
[21:24] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: for file in /home/*; do echo $file/Desktop; done     get it?
[21:24] <whitehat> sshd is not running
[21:25] <TheMatrix3000> so put that in bash or create a .sh
[21:25] <guntbert> whitehat: that "pre-start" looks suspicious, check with  ps aux|grep ssh   if it running or not
[21:25] <whitehat> and log files are not working for sshd
[21:25] <whitehat> guntbert: yes
[21:25] <guntbert> yes, what?
[21:25] <whitehat> guntbert: the only ssh process that's running is ssh-agent
[21:26] <jjovereats> Really, I hate these messages. Should I take the main backup D2D2T and get over it using an overlay of Disk-to-DVD-to-Disk-to-Tape?
[21:26] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: you could do either but it's just a demo.  It doesn't do quite what you want.
[21:26] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: But I think it's clear how to get what you want out of it.
[21:27] <TheMatrix3000> not quite
[21:27] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: Did you get it to run?
[21:27] <Bloodboil> Is there a way to change the display settings easily. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
[21:27] <whitehat> other ideas?
[21:27] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: i want to basically do a cp /etc/skel/Desktop/* /home/(All Users)/Desktop/
[21:27] <reborn3> hi
[21:28] <TheMatrix3000> ooooo
[21:28] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: ... ?
[21:28] <TheMatrix3000> what if i use gconf-editor
[21:28] <reborn3> i have a qBittoorrent question
[21:28] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: I don't think that will help. hang on I'm writing something more in a pastebin
[21:29] <reborn3> i cant sort torrent lists based on columns other than name
[21:29] <guntbert> whitehat: start it directly: sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -d  (full path is required, and -d is debug)
[21:29] <Wayland> i accidentely closed the ubuntu window asking me to upgrade to the new version. how can i open it again?

[21:29] <emprameen> I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu to boot; any assistance would be most appreciated..
[21:29] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: You put that in a .sh and run it
[21:29] <reborn3> wayland applications system admin update-manager
[21:29] <jjovereats> I really do need help on this situation. Should I take the backup, take an overlay, and run an fsc(hec)k
[21:30] <jjovereats> ?
[21:30] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: throw a -v on the cp to get more output while it runs
[21:30] <whitehat> guntbert: says "Missing privilege separation directory: /var/run/sshd
[21:30] <Wayland> reborn3, great thanks!
[21:31] <whitehat> guntbert: directory /var/run/sshd doesn't exist
[21:31] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: makes sense?
[21:31] <reborn3> you bet :)
[21:32] <jjovereats> To all in this channel, I really do need help on this situation. Should I take the backup, take an overlay, and run an fsc(hec)k?
[21:32] <guntbert> whitehat: that might be the reason for the strange behaviour, but I have no idea what the reason for this misconfiguration might be - sorry
[21:32] <emprameen> I'm having some trouble getting my natty os to load. The BIOS reads the HDD (details show up) and then after what has always been the last verification message for the BIOS the HDD ceases activity
[21:32] <whitehat> guntbert: yes.  i created the directory and it got further. received "address already in use"  i think it is ssh-agent
[21:33] <jjovereats> emprameen: You may have unrecoverable bad sectors. Only solution is to back up and replace the HDD.
[21:33] <guntbert> whitehat: I doubt it, but I have to leave - Good luck :-)
[21:33] <whitehat> guntbert: k
[21:34] <emprameen> how  can i salvage some files?
[21:34] <jjovereats> emprameen: There's this wonderful thing you can install into a live session called testdisk.
[21:35] <TheMatrix3000> it is only getting the last user
[21:35] <TheMatrix3000> "zjackson"
[21:35] <TheMatrix3000> it is not hitting any other profiles
[21:35] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: but none of the others?
[21:35] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: Did you put the -v on?
[21:35] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: What errors do you get?
[21:35] <TheMatrix3000> yes
[21:35] <TheMatrix3000> no errors
[21:35] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: What did -v say about things?
[21:35] <TheMatrix3000> it copied from like 3 people's desktops to his
[21:36] <TheMatrix3000> it was wierdd

[21:36] <timroes> Hi, i have a problem with udev and hope someone can help me. The following is my udev rules file: http://pastebin.com/V2pTeCf5 Somehow when the usb device is plugged in, the script is called. But when the usb device is removed, the script isn't called. I checked with udevadm monitor --property and both (the plugin and plugout) seem to send the right signals with the needed Property (idVendor == 067b). Has anyone an idea, what might
[21:36] <jjovereats> Am I weird to be taking a backup, only to copy it to miniDV tape afterwards?
[21:36] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: -rv is fine  (yeah -r is probably needed)
[21:37] <oCean> jjovereats: ok, enough. You've repeated your question (without giving any detail) several times. You know that such repeat is not acceptable.
[21:37] <TheMatrix3000> if I do a sudo cp -v /etc/skel/Desktop/* /home/*/Desktop/ then i get a "cp: omitting directory"
[21:37] <jjovereats> I understand. But you know I can lose control of myself.
[21:37] <Diverdude> TheMatrix3000, use cp -r
[21:37] <edbian> oh I think I see
[21:37] <oCean> jjovereats: and you know what you should do in that case, and the consequences if you don't
[21:38] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: http://screencast.com/t/nK2Jm0nB5
[21:38] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634546/
[21:38] <jjovereats> oCean, now everything's just being weird. Should I go the earmark, DVD, PC, DV Tape route? Or should I exclude those files?
[21:39] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: Well you can't use a *  :P
[21:39] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: I think I fixed the script.  See what my error was?
[21:39] <oCean> jjovereats: I really don't see how such a general question (still without any detail) would be an ubuntu specific issue. I ask you now kindly to stop this discussion in this channel
[21:40] <jjovereats> oCean: It says the the file shrank. I will be taking overlay backups as a precaution.
[21:40] <oCean> jjovereats: you continue, I quiet you
[21:40] <jjovereats> I'm out then! You quiet me, I quit XChat!

[21:46] <kv102t> Hi, anyone know if you can use truecrypt to encrypt the fill partition. I know this can be done in windows... but i have a pure ubuntu install.
[21:46] <edbian> Toph2: I suggest looking up the site in firefox history or recently closed tabs
[21:46] <skegeek> Why is bsd-mailx in Ubuntu's repositories?
[21:46] <Toph2> edbian,,, ok,, actually, i was wanting to capture a utube,, will history allow me that?
[21:46] <update> can anyone help me with gdb?  Says ambiguous set command
[21:47] <edbian> Toph2: Yeah.  I don't know.  I used to do the same thing. The new structure is annoying.  I suggest getting one of those download helper add-ons
[21:47] <Python1320> Linux says I have "Pentium 4 CPU 2.40GHz" but cpuinfo claims it's running at 1813.168 MHz
[21:47] <Toph2> edbian,,, yes,, i have those,,, just confused on the cache thing,, thanks
[21:47] <Python1320> Any ideas why?
[21:47] <edbian> Toph2: Yeah.  It's annoying
[21:47] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: im working on it now, i am fixing the script
[21:48] <TheMatrix3000> thanks for your help
[21:48] <TrueColors> Livecd can't find a live file system, I amanged to boot... after 5 months of working out how... from usb
[21:48] <TrueColors> going by bios didn't work
[21:48] <TrueColors> i had to go by boot device F8..
[21:48] <TrueColors> The problem I face with ubuntu.
[21:48] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: It's broken still!  (sure)

[21:49] <TrueColors> any ideas why ubuntu can't find my internal hd?
[21:49] <SupaYoshi> and I want to know if there is any way to change ports or to get this working
[21:49] <oCean> TrueColors: you should really try to describe your issue in a single line. It is really hard to follow/understand otherwise
[21:49] <TrueColors> Sorry. I think with my enter but yeah basically ubuntu cannot find my Hard drive.
[21:50] <TESTBE> hello
[21:50] <ubunt477> hi

[21:52] <edbian> TESTBE: What's the issue?
[21:52] <Xyx> I need help too.... after doing an "apt-get upgrade" and installing some other stuff, my X server refuses to start
[21:52] <TESTBE> no i have a question
[21:52] <Xyx> "intel(0): no kerneö modesetting driver detected"
[21:53] <DarkEra> TESTBE, get to the point then :)
[21:53] <Xyx> and it tries to load the module "kbd" which doesn't even longer exist as there's evdev
[21:53] <TheMatrix3000> can i do a chown in a bash?
[21:53] <Xyx> any idea?
[21:53] <TheMatrix3000> and it work
[21:53] <edbian> TheMatrix3000: yes   (the terminal is bash)
[21:53] <TheMatrix3000> k
[21:54] <Testbe_> hello
[21:54] <ScottR4> How do I modify the commands that are executed with the gnome key bindings?
[21:54] <Xyx_> I tried Xorg -configure, I tried it with no xorg.conf at all, I simply can't get it working and I'm about to do a reinstall
[21:54] <Testbe_> i need help
[21:54] <TrueColors_> So... any idea as to why ubuntu can't find my hard drive?
[21:54] <Xyx_> any help?
[21:55] <Terabyte> does x11 come with ubuntu server?
[21:55] <edbian> Terabyte: no
[21:55] <edbian> Testbe_: What is your question?
[21:55] <Testbe_> my question is
[21:55] <Testbe_> can you help e
[21:55] <Testbe_> me
[21:55] <edbian> Testbe_: on one line please
[21:55] <edbian> !ask
[21:55] <Testbe_> my question is can you help me
[21:55] <jwtiyar> how to create new partition for windows tob install it after ubuntu?
[21:56] <oCean> Testbe_: ask a real question
[21:56] <Terabyte> is it safe to install X11 on a server?
[21:56] <Testbe_> ok
[21:56] <ScottR4> Terabyte: why do you need X11?
[21:56] <genii-around> Testbe_: That is not a question which contains a specific example of your current problem that requires help
[21:56] <Testbe_> i have a problem with my ubuntu
[21:56] <oCean> Testbe_: describe your issues (detailed) in one single line
[21:56] <Testbe_> yes
[21:56] <edbian> Terabyte: It's less safe because it means there will be more things running and therefore more potential vulnerabilities.  In the grand scheme it is linux so it is very secure with or without  a GUI
[21:56] <Testbe_> can i get the microsoft windows desktop in ubuntuz ?
[21:57] <Testbe_> the environment
[21:57] <Terabyte> ScottR4 I want to run a java application on that server, the application has a front end, i am ssh -X'ing into it from another linux machine. I have no idea what is required on either the server (where the java app is installed) or what is installed on the client to make this happen.
[21:57] <edbian> Testbe_: no
[21:57] <Testbe_> i need the taskbar at the bottom
[21:57] <Azrael91> hey everyone
[21:58] <Azrael91> can anyone help me with some git instructions on ubuntu ?
[21:58] <Testbe_> Azrael91 no
[21:58] <ScottR4> Terabyte: gotcha; I don't have much experience in that area, sorry!
[21:59] <ScottR4> Azrael91: Sure, what's up?
[21:59] <guest1987> Azrael91, what you after
[21:59] <Terabyte> anybody familiar with the requirements of running a java applicataion (with a front end) via ssh -X on a server that's headless. what needs to be on the server and what needs to be on the client
[21:59] <Testbe_> Azrael91: i need help so we cant help you
[21:59] <oCean> Testbe_: stop that immediately
[22:00] <Testbe_> but i need help now
[22:00] <Testbe_> it is my question
[22:00] <Azrael91> :)
[22:00] <Terabyte> i have java on the server, and i can ssh into the server from the client, but when i run the application i get this error: http://www.solong.co.uk/gdi.png
[22:00] <geekeasy> Hi.  I need to install sqlite on an ubuntu 10.10 server and am running into trouble.  Can someone help?
[22:00] <Azrael91> well ... i need to compile a pdf from a git
[22:00] <geekeasy> sudo  apt-get install php5-sqlite
[22:00] <BluesKaj> !ops > Testbe_
[22:00] <geekeasy> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[22:00] <geekeasy>  php5-sqlite : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5) but 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3 is to be installed
[22:01] <Testbe_> BluesKay ?!
[22:01] <DynamicFail> Any idea why my no matter what wall connection I connect to my internet is super slow
[22:01] <Azrael91> sorry if it doesn't make any sense
[22:01] <TheMatrix3000> edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634562/
[22:01] <TheMatrix3000> would that script work
[22:01] <DynamicFail> but my ping time to google (8.8.8.8) seems to work
[22:01] <yaaar> !ops > yaaar
[22:01] <Testbe_> BluesKaj ?!
[22:01] <ScottR4> Azrael91: using what?
[22:01] <TheMatrix3000> basically copy from a mount then change permissions then remove files then copy files
[22:01] <Testbe_> please stop all talking and listen too me
[22:01] <Terabyte> Azrael91 what's a git?
[22:01] <pythos> looking for reason I can't shut down mysqld with /etc/init.d/mysql stop, or service mysql stop ???
[22:01] <Azrael91> ScottR4 not sure ... i'll be back when i am :)
[22:01] <Testbe_> i need help
[22:01] <BluesKaj> !git
[22:01] <Testbe_> how to get kde on it
[22:02] <yaaar> hmm. sorry ops, just wondered what that ops command told him. didn't realize it alerted all of you
[22:02] <update> how do i unjoin a channel?
[22:02] <Terabyte> Azrael91  so the revision control, so presumably it's a set of latex files
[22:02] <Corey> yaaar: Yes.  Yes it does.
[22:02] <pythos> update: /part
[22:02] <Azelphur> update: /part #channel
[22:02] <Logan_> update: /part
[22:02] <Xyx_> update: /part
[22:02] <Corey> update: /part
[22:02] <Azrael91> yeah
[22:02] <BluesKaj> !op | Testbe_
[22:02] <Corey> BluesKaj: Not helpful.
[22:02] <Corey> At all.
[22:02] <Terabyte> Azrael91 if it's a set of latex files then you need the latex compiler (or texmike)
[22:02] <Testbe_> BluesKaj: stop trolling.
[22:03] <chris_99> hi, 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] <Azrael91> Terabyte: oh ok
[22:03] <chris_99> i've also only got 'only on this workspace' ticked
[22:03] <LjL> Testbe_: 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 others
[22:03] <Terabyte> Azrael91 that's assuming it is what you said.. a latex set
[22:03] <Testbe_> BluesKaj: stop trolling.
[22:03] <pa> hi
[22:03] <jpds> Testbe_: Hello.
[22:03] <BluesKaj> Corey, so what do you suggest ?
[22:03] <Logan_> :|
[22:03] <Corey> BluesKaj: /ignore if it bothers you so.
[22:03] <pa> is there a way to prevent that Ubuntu modifies the file 70-persistent-net.rules  , after i edited by hand?
[22:03] <LjL> Testbe_: please join #ubuntu-ops if you want to be able to speak in this channel again
[22:03] <Azrael91> Terabyte i think it is
[22:04] <SupaYoshi> I am planning to setup, apache, phpmyadmin and xampp? for ubuntu on xbmclive, any way to do this? or not possible?
[22:04] <robin0800> Testbe_: can you use classic?
[22:04] <Terabyte> Azrael91 then use pdflatex whatever.tex
[22:04] <Terabyte> you will need to find out how to install pdflatex first.
[22:04] <Terabyte> Azrael91 and you will also need to obtain the contents of the git repository
[22:05] <BluesKaj> LjL, thanks
[22:05] <Azrael91> Terabyte yeah
[22:05] <Terabyte> Azrael91 http://book.git-scm.com/3_getting_a_git_repository.html
[22:05] <Azrael91> thank Terabyte
[22:05] <Azrael91> thanks***
[22:05] <Terabyte> np
[22:05] <skegeek> repost: Is bsd-mailx a port to Ubuntu?
[22:05] <kingofswords> i cant load into winxp since i joined 2 partitions together..can i edit my boot.ini through ubuntu?
[22:06] <edbian> kingofswords: yes you can edit boot.ini
[22:07] <prower> hello :> 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] <edbian> kingofswords: Just mount your windows partition and edit it :)
[22:07] <kingofswords> edbian,  its says partition(2) in boot.ini do i just change it to partion 1?
[22:08] <kingofswords> edbian, yeh ive edited it but still xp doesnt load up
[22:08] <edbian> kingofswords: I am not familiar with the file.  Is it on partition 1 now?  Worth a shot IMO
[22:08] <edbian> kingofswords: Does windows xp show up in your grub menu?
[22:09] <kingofswords> edbian, yeh xp is i my boot screen
[22:09] <ScottR4> kingofswords, just so we understand what's going on, you joined two partitions together? is that right?
[22:09] <kingofswords> i dont know what grub menu is
[22:09] <ScottR4> kingofswords: so two separate partitions are now one? or is my reading comp suffering from caffeine withdrawal
[22:09] <edbian> kingofswords: i don't know what a boot screen is
[22:10] <Terabyte> any advise on my x11 issue?
[22:10] <kingofswords> ScottR4, yeh i had a fat2gb and 35gbntfs for xp....i formatted that fat 2gb in order to join to 35gb one
[22:10] <msav> while 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 working
[22:10] <ScottR4> Terabyte: still googling, have you tried just installing x11 and ssh'ing in?
[22:11] <Terabyte> ScottR4 i have considered it, but i'm not sure if it's safe now reading around..
[22:11] <ScottR4> kingofswords: Windows does not like you moving anything around, you may have to repair the installation
[22:11] <Terabyte> ScottR4 just looking to see if there's a secure alternative
[22:11] <rtyui> hello
[22:11] <rtyui> thre
[22:11] <Terabyte> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI
[22:11] <edbian> kingofswords: You should put windows xp on NTFS partitions
[22:11] <Terabyte> ^ this
[22:11] <kingofswords> ScottR4, 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 think
[22:11] <ScottR4> Terabyte: you could always just start x11, connect, do your thing, and then stop x11... no?
[22:11] <tonyyarusso> skegeek: 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] <rtyui> after following this tutorial http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/serveur_mail_avec_postfix_et_courier-imap?s[]=mail&s[]=server can't able to send mail
[22:12] <pdtpatrick> Has 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 files
[22:12] <ScottR4> kingofswords: where was XP originally installed?
[22:12] <rtyui> i don't know where the probleme came from
[22:12] <rtyui> anyone can help ?
[22:12] <kingofswords> edbian, 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 partition
[22:12] <kingofswords> ScottR4, xp is on partition 2 the 35gb ntfs
[22:12] <edbian> kingofswords: ooooo k
[22:13] <kingofswords> its confusing i know lol
[22:13] <Terabyte> ScottR4 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] <edbian> kingofswords: :)
[22:13] <ScottR4> kingofswords: okay. so you currently have partition 1: blank NTFS, partition 2: windows NTFS, right?
[22:13] <ScottR4> kingofswords: not yet merged, and you can't boot into partition 2?
[22:13] <kingofswords> ScottR4, correct
[22:14] <kingofswords> ScottR4, correct too
[22:14] <kingofswords> repair console in xp doesnt work for me either
[22:14] <edbian> kingofswords: I recommend running sudo update-grub   which should re-find your windows partition.  I think this is the problem, not boot.ini
[22:14] <Terabyte> still don't quite understand which way round it is either, the server has the xclient, and the client has the xserver?
[22:14] <ScottR4> kingofswords: 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 systems
[22:14] <edbian> ScottR4: If you press the shift key
[22:14] <rtyui> ? anyone
[22:14] <rtyui> ?anyone
[22:15] <kingofswords> ScottR4, ok..i thought this was boot menu...yeh xp and ubuntu both show up fine in this
[22:15] <rtyui> anyone there ?
[22:15] <ScottR4> edbian: depends on your install, most default ubuntu setups go straight to grub menu
[22:15] <martian> When 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] <ScottR4> kingofswords: and selecting windows xp doesn't boot properly?
[22:15] <edbian> ScottR4: Not since 11.04   now the default is to not show the menu (unless I think, you have 2 or more OSs)
[22:15] <kingofswords> ScottR4, correct
[22:15] <ScottR4> kingofswords: I agree with edbian then, sudo update-grub should probably fix everything
[22:16] <kingofswords> ScottR4, well it doesnt boot at all
[22:16] <edbian> kingofswords: :)
[22:16] <edbian> ScottR4: thanks
[22:16] <kingofswords> ok..ill do this and reboot brb thx
[22:16] <ScottR4> edbian: didn't know that, thanks for the update... I'm avoiding 11.04 for now after a bad upgrade experience -_-
[22:16] <edbian> ScottR4: ouch
[22:16] <leftiness> I 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 o
[22:16] <kingofswords> edbian, thx
[22:16] <edbian> kingofswords: hopefully it works
[22:17] <kingofswords> hope so =)
[22:17] <phillyj> i tried to reinstall ubuntu-desktop using "apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop"
[22:17] <phillyj> I got the error "E: Invalid operation reinstall"
[22:17] <phillyj> What did i do wrong?
[22:17] <carl_> salut
[22:17] <tonyyarusso> phillyj: install --reinstall
[22:17] <ScottR4> Alright, 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] <phillyj> oo
[22:18] <kingofswords> back...didnt reboot but now xp has disapeared from from grub menu according to terminal
[22:18] <ScottR4> kingofswords: did you modify boot.ini by hand at all?
[22:18] <BajK> hmm, if I spend 1 Milliard Euro and buy canonical, do you think I can make Ubuntu use KDE? :)
[22:18] <kingofswords> ScottR4, i did
[22:18] <kingofswords> but changed it back
[22:18] <Connor_> Hi there guys. I have a few questions about ubuntu linux
[22:18] <ScottR4> kingofswords: oh, well that takes care of that. and no windows xp?
[22:18] <phillyj> tonyyarusso: now the error is "E: Invalid operation ubuntu-desktop"
[22:18] <Connor_> Can I have some help?
[22:19] <ScottR4> Connor_: just ask away :)
[22:19] <leftiness> Connor_: Just ask your question. =D
[22:19] <kingofswords> i had xp disapear from grub menu last timei change partition thou and only got back when i reinstalled windows
[22:19] <tonyyarusso> phillyj: err, what did you type?
[22:19] <ZykoticK9> phillyj, "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop"
[22:19] <kingofswords> ScottR4, no xp still just not in grub
[22:19] <phillyj> tonyyarusso: sudo apt-get --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[22:19] <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 mac
[22:19] <tonyyarusso> phillyj: You forgot the install part.
[22:20] <ScottR4> kingofswords: Yikes. It sounds like that little 2gb partition was kind of important...
[22:20] <leftiness> Connor_: Wireless bluetooth, or with a usb receiver?
[22:20] <Connor_> Wireless bluetooth
[22:20] <phillyj> tonyyarusso: got it
[22:20] <kingofswords> ScottR4, yeh it was empty thou just for copying xp install files
[22:20] <leftiness> Connor_: I'm unfamiliar with your Mac. Does it support bluetooth?
[22:21] <tonyyarusso> Connor_: You'll need either a wired mouse or a wired keyboard to pair them the first time.
[22:21] <bugzilla> hi
[22:21] <geekeasy> Can anyone help me install sqlite?  It should be trivial, but I'm running into problems.
[22:21] <Connor_> Erm.... poop
[22:21] <kingofswords> i had this problem b4 and someone here found solution but i had already reinstalled xp
[22:21] <Connor_> I have a wired keyboard, but no mouse that's wird :-(
[22:21] <tonyyarusso> geekeasy: apt-get install sqlite3
[22:22] <Connor_> So if I have one but not the other, what do I do?
[22:22] <bugzilla> and php-sqlite if you use a php script
[22:22] <Connor_> Hrm?
[22:22] <ScottR4> kingofswords: 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 :-/
[22:23] <Connor_> leftiness. I have a wired keyboard, and wireless mouse
[22:23] <kingofswords> ScottR4, i think that was prob b4.....but didnt know how to edit it...any sugesstions?
[22:23] <tonyyarusso> Connor_: 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] <martian> When 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 much
[22:23] <ScottR4> kingofswords: sadly, this is beyond my experience... sorry!
[22:23] <kingofswords> ok
[22:23] <Connor_> Wait. Macintosh alt or PC alt
[22:24] <tonyyarusso> regular
[22:24] <ScottR4> so, no one knows how to modify the commands executed with gnome keybindings?
[22:24] <leftiness> Connor_: 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] <kingofswords> ScottR4,  i can find where menu.1st
[22:24] <tonyyarusso> ScottR4: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts ?
[22:25] <tonyyarusso> leftiness: His issue is that he needs to pair it first.
[22:25] <VCoolio> martian: right click > properties > open with, set default there for all php; or in nautilus (the file manager) edit > preferences > behavior, set behavior for executable files
[22:25] <geekeasy> tonyyarusso: Is that for php5?
[22:25] <ScottR4> tonyyarusso: 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] <leftiness> tonyyarusso: 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] <tonyyarusso> geekeasy: I didn't say anything about PHP.
[22:26] <VCoolio> martian: not sure if php is reckoned among executables
[22:26] <ScottR4> kingofswords: shoot, grub2, not grub... I recommend google, you'll get more information there than from me :(
[22:26] <leftiness> Whoa... I was obviously lagging behind the chat. I just got a whole screen of chat...
[22:26] <tonyyarusso> leftiness: another computer?  I didn't see where he said what the machine was.
[22:26] <geekeasy> I need sqlite for php5.  The command i was given to get it is -- apt-get install php5-sqlite
[22:26] <geekeasy> But that's failing.
[22:27] <VCoolio> !grub2 | kingofswords did you check this?
[22:27] <tonyyarusso> geekeasy: failing how?
[22:27] <martian> VCoolio: ahh, the nautilus setting is what I was hoping to see. Thanks!
[22:27] <phux> geekeasy: apt-cache search sqlite
[22:27] <kingofswords> VCoolio, nah thx...illl take a look
[22:28] <genii-around> geekeasy: Perhaps try then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite
[22:28] <BajK> is there a way to keep recordmydesktop synchrone?!
[22:28] <BajK> or a better Screen Cast program?
[22:28] <BajK> when I use it always my video is 20 seconds shorter than the audio
[22:28] <BajK> and this just sucks
[22:28] <FloodBot1> BajK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:28] <kingofswords> dont think grub is my problem..its bootmgr
[22:28] <geekeasy> Here's my error.
[22:28] <geekeasy> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[22:28] <geekeasy>  php5-sqlite : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5) but 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3 is to be installed
[22:29] <j3roth> Can someone point me in the right direction. I am trying to set up Ubuntu Server to accept multiple remote desktop sessions simultaneously.  Thanks! :)
[22:29] <tonyyarusso> geekeasy: what version of Ubuntu?  Does an apt-get update help?
[22:29] <PythonSnake> Hi i'm using gnome if a add workspace 16x16 the squares are too small how to fix thay
[22:29] <Terabyte> ScottR4 sorted
[22:29] <PythonSnake> that*
[22:29] <belal> hey
[22:29] <geekeasy> I'm 90% sure it's ubuntu 10.10
[22:29] <ScottR4> Terabyte: What's that now?
[22:30] <Terabyte> well xclient was already installed, no need to install a server, all that was needed to fix my issue was apt-get install libxtst6
[22:30] <belal> i run the bluedevil (bluetooth gui) and it says didnt find any bluetooth adapters.. whats going on? do i have to install something extra? last time i installed ubuntu it worked out of the box
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> belal: if you run:  sudo hcitool scan     doit scan ok?
[22:31] <Aerosonic> Oh hai
[22:31] <geekeasy> Nope, update doesn't seem to help.
[22:31] <belal> ActionParsnip: belal@ErebusPC:~$ sudo hcitool scan
[22:31] <belal> [sudo] password for belal:
[22:31] <belal> Scanning ...
[22:32] <tonyyarusso> geekeasy: Well, 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5 is what is in the repos, so you either need to just do an update first, or fix a repo problem.
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> belal: looks good, is the bluetooth scanning?
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> sorry, flashing
[22:32] <BajK> man recordmydesktop is so a shitty program -.-
[22:32] <tonyyarusso> geekeasy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/php5-common
[22:32] <BajK> could be a GTK applicationm
[22:32] <belal> ActionParsnip: i have no light for bluetooth on the laptop
[22:32] <belal> ActionParsnip: but its activated
[22:32] <geekeasy> I did the update.  Should sudo apt-get upgrade php5 move me to a newer version of php5?
[22:33] <ScottR4> geekeasy: whatever's available in the repos as a newer package
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> belal: cool, do other bluetooth softwares work ok
[22:33] <belal> ActionParsnip: how do i check this?
[22:33] <nmbnbk> ok, I know it's not for this channel, but. How is that google service called that when you enter two words it returns you ten words just like it. So "Kobe bryant", "Mochael Jordan" would return "Shaquille o'neal", "Ray allen", etc.
[22:33] <belal> ActionParsnip: i have bluedevil at the tray, when i press it it says no adaptor found
[22:33] <belal> the last time i installed ubuntu it worked fine
[22:34] <belal> is there any other bluetooth software to try/
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> belal: try a different bluetooth manager
[22:35] <tonyyarusso> geekeasy: Do you have the security and updates repository sections enabled?
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> !info bluez
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> belal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[22:35] <belal> so bluez it is
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> belal: there are others
[22:37] <jzbl> nmbnbk, google sets in is in the lab section
[22:37] <Starminn> If I make something in LMMS, what are the restrictions I have to abide by in order to release it (for free, openly)?
[22:38] <jzbl> s/is in/
[22:38] <nmbnbk> jzbl thank you!
[22:38] <belal> ActionParsnip: ty anyway
[22:39] <PythonSnake> can kde break unity or something like gnome 3 ?
[22:39] <PythonSnake> !kde
[22:39] <Terabyte> is root disabled by default on ubunut server?
[22:39] <Terabyte> and does this still apply to ssh login?
[22:39] <tonyyarusso> Terabyte: Yes, and yes.
[22:39] <ZykoticK9> Terabyte, yes
[22:39] <Terabyte> thx
[22:39] <tonyyarusso> Terabyte: 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] <Terabyte> in general does the state of an account always get mirrored for ssh access?
[22:40] <Terabyte> ok cool
[22:40] <tonyyarusso> Terabyte: Not exactly.  In the case of root it's a separate option.
[22:40] <PythonSnake> Can kde break unity or something like gnome 3 do ?
[22:40] <Terabyte> ok
[22:40] <IdleOne> PythonSnake: no, it will install kubuntu and you will have the choice at login in the session manager between Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> PythonSnake: i can't see kde breaking unity personally but I haven't used KDE in about 8 years
[22:41] <PythonSnake> IdleOne: so I need 2 gb more ?
[22:42] <IdleOne> PythonSnake: not sure how much more space it will require
[22:43] <Loonatic> Anyone have a choppy/synch issue with video using vlc with a nvidia card ?
[22:43] <jzbl> Loonatic: what sound output do you use?
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> Loonatic: what is the output of:  lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy vlc    please use http://pastebin.com to give the output. Thanks
[22:45] <PythonSnake> How to install KDE without installing Kubuntu ?
[22:46] <Loonatic> jzbl: very good question how can i know ?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> PythonSnake: just install kde-plasma-desktop and it will give barebones kde
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> PythonSnake: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE
[22:49] <piero> Hi! I use KTorrent in Gnome Desktop. How can I change the visual preferences of qt based interfaces? The hint bar is dark-gray over a black background, unreadable.
[22:49] <jzbl> Loonatic: VLC -> Tools -> Pref. -> switch from Simple to All (Advanced) mode -> choose Audio and |> Output modules
[22:49] <neonkid> hell I'm having trouble installling ubuntu 10.04 lts, onto a vaio non stock computer.
[22:49] <philipballew> how can i take a folder owned as root and make the foldr and all its files owned to me
[22:49] <jzbl> Loonatic: try setting Alsa instead of "Default or Pulseaudio" , restart VLC and check
[22:50] <jzbl> philipballew: why would you like to do that? Is it a system folder (like /bin) ?
[22:50] <Loonatic> jzbl: will try that right away here the paste bin for the output : http://pastebin.com/Lphd8bRS
[22:51] <philipballew> jzbl, no. i copied music files from my external drive and since the drive mounted as root i guess the folders i coppied are root
[22:52] <neonkid> I'm having some trouble installing ubuntu, could someone help?
[22:52] <VCoolio> neonkid: explain where you're stuck, what error messages are etc.
[22:52] <Terabyte> does ubuntu server do encryption of home directories? how do i check if it's enabled?
[22:52] <jzbl> philipballew: sudo chown -R youruser:yourgroup <directory>
[22:52] <fpu> hello
[22:52] <fpu> I have problem with screen
[22:53] <rhalff_> hi what is the command to install all -dev package dependencies for a package ? I want to compile the latest version for some app from source
[22:53] <fpu> after having bad session and wiping it (screen -wipe)
[22:53] <rhalff_> build-dep or something ?
[22:53] <fpu> I can't start screen anymore
[22:53] <trism> rhalff_: sudo apt-get build-dep package_name;
[22:53] <philipballew> jzbl, sorry for being an idiot but what do i pit for my group
[22:53] <trism> rhalff_: yes, exactly
[22:53] <Combatjuan> I'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] <fpu> hmm
[22:54] <Combatjuan> If 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] <jzbl> philipballew: or use the chmod command to add permissions
[22:55] <jzbl> philipballew: group is usually the same as username
[22:55] <arosen> How do i get the kernel source for the kernel i'm running?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> Loonatic: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[22:56] <Connor_> Hello? Is the person helping me before still on?
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> arosen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[22:56] <Connor_> I still need help
[22:56] <spasysheep> is it possible to mount a .sqfs file as read-write, or do I have to extract it, edit, the recompress?
[22:56] <arosen> Connor_: whats wrong?
[22:56] <Connor_> Well?
[22:56] <Connor_> Oh. \
[22:56] <Connor_> Ill tell yu
[22:56] <PythonSnake> !ask | Connor_
[22:56] <Combatjuan> Indeed, 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.
[22:57] <Connor_> ok
[22:58] <aaarh_i_hate_thi> xvilo is er net aangekomen! xvilo is de Owner van deze bot.
[22:58] <Connor_> I tried going into the bluetooth preference pane, and It said that my wireless mouse (apple standard) had connected, but when I moved the mouse, nothing happened. I am running ubunu 11.04 from a cd on my mac. What do I do?
[22:59] <oCean> xvilo: remove that bot please
[22:59] <xvilo> ooh yes
[22:59] <Connor_> I tried going into the bluetooth preference pane, and It said that my wireless mouse (apple standard) had connected, but when I moved the mouse, nothing happened. I am running ubunu 11.04 from a cd on my mac. What do I do?
[23:00] <Connor_> I tried going into the bluetooth preference pane, and It said that my wireless mouse (apple standard) had connected, but when I moved the mouse, nothing happened. I am running ubunu 11.04 from a cd on my mac. What do I do?

[23:00] <tjiggi_fo> Connor_, so you said
[23:01] <Connor_> Hmm?
[23:01] <pwnus> hi ubuntu croud, is there a way in unity to change the location of the dock?
[23:01] <Combatjuan> Update: 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] <Connor_> what did you say tjiggi_fo?
[23:02] <Connor_> I tried going into the bluetooth preference pane, and It said that my wireless mouse (apple standard) had connected, but when I moved the mouse, nothing happened. I am running ubunu 11.04 from a cd on my mac. What do I do?
[23:02] <itaylor57> !repeat
[23:02] <tjiggi_fo> Connor_, I said we heard you the first time, soon as someone who can help you comes along they will
[23:02] <PythonSnake> !flood
[23:02] <Connor_> ok. sorry then
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> Connor_: if you run xev, do the mouse buttons create events?
[23:04] <PythonSnake> Hi
[23:04] <tjiggi_fo> pwnus, not yet
[23:04] <PythonSnake> how to get fn+f9 disable my touchpad ?
[23:04] <Connor_> firstly, I got on ubuntu about half an hour ago, and second, I have no mouse. that is why I am trying to connect m wireless apple one, actionparsnip....
[23:05] <Connor_> All I need to do is connect my apple mouse
[23:06] <Loonatic> ActionParsnip: thanks fro the link i updated VLC and testing as we speak
[23:07] <Connor_> Arg. I really do not like the linux user interface. Not enough guidance. Don't insult me for this.
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> Loonatic: sweet
[23:10] <neonkid> init: Failed to spawn mountall post-stop process: unable to execute : input/output error. what does this mean?
[23:10] <josh__> yo yo peoples
[23:11] <josh__> so i gots a question about nmap. but there ain't be nobody in the nmap room. can somebody here help me?
[23:11] <mehwork> i have a 1 TB drive with 8 GB of ram. How much space should i dedicate to my /home partition and how much swap space?
[23:11] <tonyyarusso> "there ain't be nobody"?  Really?
[23:12] <josh__> lol yeah. that's my ghetto voice
[23:12] <tonyyarusso> That's your stupid voice.
[23:12] <Rehan> if i setup two hard drives on my PC to be in raid 1 and then later decide i don't want mirroring and want to double my available disk space, is it easy to go back to a non-raid state without any data loss?
[23:12] <josh__> Ok, i shall speak proper english
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> mehwork: 8Gb swap if you need hibernate, otherwise you can get away with none if you want.
[23:12] <josh__> Would you prefer for me to use prescriptivist rules?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> mehwork: set about 20Gb for / and the rest for /home is how i'd do it
[23:13] <robin0800> neonkid: I take it that google dosen't know
[23:13] <jzbl> mehwork: If you are not sure on the /home just use LVM
[23:13] <frank_> hi
[23:13] <josh__> howdy frank
[23:14] <jzbl> mehwork: If you are not sure on the /home just use LVM
[23:14] <frank_> can someone help me interpret the output of smartctl? Looks like /dev/urandom to me that has been put through a formater that inserts some tabs :)
[23:14] <neonkid> well, Considering I've been fighting this vaio for for about 6 months and been through 4 cd's and 2 dvd's I figured it was about time I got help.
[23:15] <valdyn> frank_: read the specs or try gsmartmontool
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: what is the issue?
[23:15] <MadGirl> i guess the issue is i thought i bought professional, but when I entered the serial for that it didn't work
[23:15] <frank_> valdyn: I wouldn't ask if i didnt already tried to understand the output
[23:15] <valdyn> frank_: you can ask specific things
[23:16] <frank_> valdyn: is this disk failing? http://nopaste.info/e4889e6723.html
[23:16] <frank_> :)
[23:16] <valdyn> frank_: but its all on the spec, and in googles hd statistics
[23:16] <neonkid> well my computer refuses to have linux put on it.
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: what happens when you try?
[23:16] <valdyn> frank_: can you see all tests completing with no error?
[23:17] <Combatjuan> neonkid: When do you get this error?  During normal startup?  When booting from the install disk?  When waking up from hibernation?
[23:17] <frank_> valdyn: I don't see any tests ("not_testing")
[23:18] <neonkid> it say's the disc is bad, my optical drive may be dirty, it was a bad burn, that I should burn at a slower speed, it never even loads, or it stops putting out video
[23:18] <valdyn> frank_: test was done at some point in the past
[23:18] <TravisD> If I want to install things using ./configure; make; make-install, is there a good way to keep things separated from the packages managed by apt?
[23:18] <josh__> so can someone answer a simple question about nmap for me?
[23:18] <neonkid> and i'm trying to install it
[23:18] <valdyn> frank_: its failing a few times on powerup. If thats happening ever time thats bad, if its not happening again thats not a problem
[23:18] <mu3en> neonkid, could you use some usb based media?
[23:19] <neonkid> nope, I wish.
[23:19] <mehwork> jzbl: does ubuntu have LVM options in the installer or what?
[23:19] <valdyn> frank_: s.m.a.r.t. isnt really smart, its just showing whats happening
[23:19] <basix-> is there a way to sync ipod touch on ubuntu?
[23:20] <josh__> derp. i guess not :(
[23:20] <frank_> valdyn: ok thanks. I think it's not reliable anymore. I see this messages in dmesg: http://nopaste.info/ffa2d75427.html
[23:20] <mehwork> basix-: i wouldnt trust anything but itunes for true ipod syncing,you can use ipod to 'transfer' though
[23:20] <basix-> k thx mehwork
[23:20] <jzbl> TravisD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall or PackagingGuide on the same page at the bottom. You can always look for a PPA for your application or use designated directory like /opt/local for your hand-compiled apps.
[23:20] <mehwork> frank_: i install windows in a vbox and use that for itunes
[23:20] <valdyn> frank_: thats a result of one such powerup error I assume
[23:21] <valdyn> frank_: now, you wouldnt really need smart to detect this error
[23:21] <valdyn> frank_: but thats how it is..
[23:21] <TravisD> jzbl: thanks
[23:21] <neonkid> I know it has something to do with my hardware though.
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[23:22] <neonkid> no, I downloaded it from ubuntu it self
[23:23] <mu3en> still neonkid, i seem to remember there is usually a test install media option when you first boot the cd? if not, you can run an MD5 check on the cd from within your other OS.
[23:23] <mu3en> at leasy will tell you that the cd is valid.
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: doesn't matter, it can be garbaged in transit
[23:23] <frank_> valdyn: sure. I'm looking for a OS drive for my nexenta, since this drive hasn't to  be big I tried drives from my old media center pc, that's the background
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: where you download it from its completely moot, if it passed MD5 test then the image is goof
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> *good
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: you have not tested the ISO you hacve downloaded so you have no real way of knowing if the data you downloaded was complete or consistent
[23:24] <neonkid> I think it's my hardware that's causing the problem.
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: well you never tested your ISO, good place to start diagnosing
[23:24] <moses> do you think ubuntu 10.10 is better resource wise than windows vista?
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> moses: that  is offtopic here
[23:25] <moses> what why?
[23:25] <frank_> because it isn't friday
[23:25] <valdyn> moses: thats a silly question everywhere
[23:25] <frank_> ;)
[23:25] <moses> i need advice on what linux i should run on this laptop instead of windows vista :(
[23:26] <PythonSnake> moses: ubuntu
[23:26] <neonkid> unless I'm the most unlucky guy in the world I doubt it's the iso. ive downloaded different version multiple times and they all fail I think it's my hard ware.
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> moses: this is for people with OS issues, everything else is entertained in #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:26] <frank_> moses: as you're asking in
[23:26] <leeeroooy_j> moses: try ubuntu 10.04, if you like it then stick with it
[23:26] <PythonSnake> !offtopic
[23:26] <frank_> #ubuntu, I'd recommend ubuntu.
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: it still needs doing, you are having issues so you need to isolate what is good to remove it as a possible cause
[23:26] <frank_> try asking in #gentoo or #suse or #redhat ;)
[23:27] <mu3en> or #arch
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> or #xpud
[23:27] <PythonSnake> or #debian
[23:27] <frank_> or #fedora
[23:27] <neonkid> well I came on here to get help about this not the darn iso thing as I said before I think it's my hardware
[23:27] <mu3en> grin
[23:28] <katmagic> Hi. I'm having some issues with gksudo, namely that it doesn't work. I don't seem to actually have a .Xauthority file. Is this normal?
[23:28] <leeeroooy_j> neonkid: checking your iso should be the first thing you do after downloading it, always
[23:28] <frank_> katmagic: tried gksu?
[23:28] <pingveno> How do I remove the need to have a password for sudo. What is the best way to do that?
[23:29] <katmagic> it doesn't work any better.
[23:29] <pingveno> This is a test VM, so I'm not worried about security.
[23:29] <neonkid> can we get off the iso thing. I think the problem is with the hardware on the computer
[23:29] <leeeroooy_j> neonkid: whats the problem?
[23:29] <marck> remmeber me
[23:29] <MadGirl> i think the problem is , after I installed unbuntu, when I click on the Windows 7 option, it won't boot into windows..
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: well you havent tested the ISO. If the image is bad it will cause all sorts of issues and make all efforts be for nought
[23:29] <frank_> pingveno: %admin ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL although i wouldnt recommend it
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: it takes literally seconds. Why don't you just do it and we can progress
[23:29] <tonyyarusso> neonkid: If you think it's a hardware problem, why are you asking about it in a software support channel?
[23:29] <mu3en> pingvenoL using the command visudo
[23:29] <marck> can anyone help me
[23:29] <katmagic> Like I said, I don't seem to have an .Xauthority file. Is that normal?
[23:29] <marck> open the xorg file
[23:29] <pingveno> frank_: What do I need to worry about? Is there something beyond security?
[23:30] <marck> for me to put this Section "Monitor" 	Identifier "Monitor0" 	VendorName "DCLLCD" 	ModelName "DCL20AT" 	HorizSync 24 - 82 	VertRefresh 50 - 75 EndSection  Section "Device" 	Identifier "Device0" 	Driver "intel" 	VendorName "Intel 945GM" EndSection  Section "Screen" 	Identifier "Screen0" 	Device "Device0" 	Monitor "Monitor0" 	DefaultDepth 16 	SubSection "Display" 		Depth 24 		Modes "1680x1050" 	EndSubSection EndSection
[23:30] <leeeroooy_j> neonkid: i can only agree with ActionParsnip
[23:30] <PythonSnake> !details | marck
[23:30] <frank_> pingveno: no, just _security_...
[23:30] <neonkid> because I might need boot parameters.
[23:30] <frank_> ;P
[23:30] <leeeroooy_j> neonkid: are you on windows right now?
[23:30] <ohzie> Hey guys, I started installing 11.04 and it dropped from the gui install into what looks like my dmesg output. :(
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> !md5
[23:31] <pingveno> The only thing I'm running in this is scripts that I've written and scripts that my company has written. No security issues there.
[23:31] <neonkid> no i'm on ubuntu.
[23:31] <leeeroooy_j> neonkid: do you have the iso on your pc?
[23:31] <phlux> What is the program that lets you choose what ISP you're using for 3G/4G wifi cards? Is it just an Ubuntu thing, or can I use it on my Arch system?
[23:32] <leeeroooy_j> phlux: no programs let you choose your isp as far as i know as it depends on your sim or card
[23:32] <katmagic> phlux: NetworkManager, to which nm-applet is the graphical interface.
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: then all you have to do is run:  md5sum filename    then compare to the hashes
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> !hashes | neonkid
[23:32] <mu3en> phlux, and yes it's available on arch
[23:32] <PythonSnake> !puppy
[23:33] <katmagic> I believe it supports most Linux versions, however you should be aware of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5331 when using any sort of wireless with Arch.
[23:33] <neonkid> it's not the iso. i'm sure. I think it's the hardware.
[23:33] <marck> ubottu ur a bot
[23:33] <phlux> leeeroooy_j: With my wife's Ubuntu system, I just plugged my 3G card in, went to the nm-applet in the panel, and clicked "Connect." It had a list of ISPs (Verizon, Sprint, etc) and automagically connected me to the correct one.
[23:33] <marck> yea sure
[23:33] <marck> lier
[23:33] <phlux> mu3en, katmagic: Ah, I use NetworkManager and my wifi works fine, though I've never tried the 3G portion.
[23:33] <phlux> I thought it was some other tool
[23:33] <CheckMate7> how can I make a .Bat file in ubuntu ?
[23:33] <leeeroooy_j> phlux: yes, that is used to set up your connection, not to let you choose an isp like "today i want verizon tomorrow at&t"
[23:33] <leeeroooy_j> with the same usb dongle or card or whatever you re using
[23:33] <BernardV> neonkid: Try downloading the Debian installer, If that works.....
[23:34] <tonyyarusso> CheckMate7: BAT files are for Windows.
[23:34] <phlux> leeeroooy_j: I suppose I could have worded it better (g)
[23:34] <neonkid> is that  a boot loader or something?
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> CheckMate7: you can create bash scripts in Linux
[23:34] <xarth> bonsoir
[23:34] <katmagic> CheckMate7: .bat files are just text files with Windows line endings. Though you can create them on Linux, they won't run.
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> !bot | marck
[23:35] <leeeroooy_j> phlux: well i dont mean to offend anyone (dont get me wrong please) but i thought you wanted to switch isp's which would be kinda hard :)
[23:35] <CheckMate7> So how can I run some Ms-dos command on linux ?
[23:35] <tonyyarusso> CheckMate7: First, why do you want to?
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> CheckMate7: what do you want to achieve?
[23:35] <BernardV> CheckMate7: What kind of commands?
[23:35] <phlux> leeeroooy_j: aye, understood. No offense taken :)
[23:35] <CheckMate7> I just want to compile a .py file
[23:35] <leeeroooy_j> phlux: I'm glad
[23:35] <mu3en> neonkid, i think BernardV is suggesting to install debian instead of ubuntu. just to see if it likes your hardware more.
[23:35] <tonyyarusso> CheckMate7: Err, what for?
[23:35] <CheckMate7> like this ; python Configure.py
[23:36] <tonyyarusso> CheckMate7: That will run the .py file, yes.
[23:36] <Zuhaitz> CheckMate7, sudo apt-get install dosbox
[23:36] <CheckMate7> dosbox !! ???
[23:36] <BernardV> neonkid: Nope, "Debian is the Rock Ubuntu is build on..":P Debian is a linux distro, but de base is fairly similar to Ubuntu.
[23:36] <katmagic> (p.s. DOS sucks. A lot.)
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> Zuhaitz: that won't work. user is using python which won't run in dosbox very well
[23:37] <Zuhaitz> ah
[23:37] <tonyyarusso> CheckMate7: What is your real question?
[23:37] <neonkid> I need ubuntu on the computer though.
[23:37] <Zuhaitz> I didn't know what he wanted for
[23:37] <marck> i need to put this Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "DCLLCD" ModelName "DCL20AT" HorizSync 24 - 82 VertRefresh 50 - 75 EndSection  Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel 945GM" EndSection  Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" EndSubSection EndSection can u help me
[23:37] <Keds> Hi All
[23:37] <xarth> someone can help me about an error during a gcc compilation ? (sorry for my english)
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> marck: please use a pastebin for large pastes, it will be more readbale and it won't scroll the channel
[23:37] <chad___> My home directory is recognized as being the Desktop directory. How can I fix this?
[23:37] <axisys> i lost few of the applets earlier today.. I think I got most of them added back except I am missing the left bottom button that minimizes all active windows.. which applet gives that?
[23:38] <BernardV> Why neonkid ? You can install Debian in almost the same way Ubuntu runs.. If you install a base Debian system I think you could even add the Ubuntu repositories and upgrade to Ubuntu
[23:38] <Keds> I'm trying to get client side single signon working with SSH keys using pam_ssh
[23:38] <axisys> i am not using unity
[23:38] <Go7enKs> hey anybody can help me? I did un update today and now my Ubuntu slows down so much is unusable
[23:38] <CheckMate7> how can I get command.com ?
[23:38] <marck> i need the comman that open the xorg.conf file
[23:38] <Go7enKs> how can I undo it?
[23:38] <tonyyarusso> BernardV: No, adding Ubuntu repos to Debian is not a good idea.
[23:38] <Keds> The info out there is fairly thin on the ground and I haven't had much luck so far
[23:38] <mu3en> neonkid, and it's more as a way to test if your hardware is actually working?
[23:38] <marck> *command*
[23:38] <BernardV> tonyyarusso: ok! Never tried it ;)
[23:38] <tonyyarusso> CheckMate7: You can't.  command.com is a Windows program.  What are you actually trying to achieve?
[23:38] <leeeroooy_j> axisys: that one is called "show desktop"
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> chad___: in gconf-editor  go to Have a look in /apps/nautilus/preferences and check that desktop_is_home_dir is not checked
[23:39] <katmagic> Keds: You may be interested in the 'ControlMaster' option.
[23:39] <mu3en> ineonkid, ie. if you can't boot the debian install it's an indication that your hardware has some issues full stop
[23:39] <neonkid> I know the hard ware is working, it runs windows fine. It just dosent like ubuntu
[23:39] <Keds> Has anyone got pam_ssh working for single signon?
[23:39] <CheckMate7> well , can I get that on my ubuntu and let wine run it ?
[23:39] <axisys> leeeroooy_j: let me look for it.. thanks a lot
[23:39] <leeeroooy_j> axisys: you re welcome
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: have you tested the RAM using the liveCD?
[23:39] <chad___> ActionParsnip: How would I go about doing this in the XFCE DE?
[23:40] <BernardV> neonkid: That doesn't say anything if it runs windows. I have a board that runs linux just fine, but can't install windows :)
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> CheckMate7: command.com is for windows. If you are working with python you do NOT need command.com
[23:40] <katmagic> So no one knows why I wouldn't have a .Xauthority file?
[23:40] <axisys> is there a way to reset all the applets to default setup ? i think i might be missing another applet
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> chad___: hmmm, not sure could install gconf-editor I guess
[23:40] <leeeroooy_j> axisys: one way would be make another account and use it, I'm not aware of any other
[23:40] <robin0800> marck: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:41] <xarth> i m trying to compile gcc but i have this error: size of array 'off_t_is_large' is negative during the check of FILE_OFFSET_BITS. any idea about this ?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> katmagic: you should have one by default, if you run:  cd; la    do you not see it
[23:41] <chad___> ActionParsnip: Okay, I'll try it.
[23:41] <fffffffuuuuuuuuu> noob here. Is this the right channel to beg for help?
[23:41]  * BernardV is happy to have a stable DVB-C setup with a Smargo+ smartcard reader :D
[23:41] <marck> thx robin
[23:41] <leeeroooy_j> fffffffuuuuuuuuu: yes
[23:41] <katmagic> I *do not* have one.
[23:41] <neonkid> yup and I tested the ide hard drives, the grafics ard and the processor, all are in  good working order. and I had it on there before but it had a failure and now it wont go back on.
[23:41] <katmagic> This is my problem. :3
[23:42] <BernardV> neonkid: It could be some bios config.. like a setting vor OS/2 or something
[23:42] <neonkid> +-
[23:42] <axisys> leeeroooy_j: right.. and then I could just cheat from it.. thanks
[23:42] <mu3en> neonkid are you using a live cd?
[23:42] <leeeroooy_j> axisys: you're welcome
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: set your BIOS to failsafe, may help
[23:43] <neonkid> a live dvd. and it isnt the bios
[23:43] <josh__> omg i think i'm in love with ubuntu <3 <3 <3
[23:43] <fffffffuuuuuuuuu> What does it mean when mount hangs trying to mount a LUKS volume contained in an LVM volume? With the -v option it hangs on "you didn't specify a filesystem type ... I will try ext4"
[23:44] <fffffffuuuuuuuuu> Please tell me it doesn't mean my hard drive is dead.
[23:44] <BernardV> neonkid: Do you want to try some suggestions or are you waiting to get an answer of which you think could be the answer. If that's the case you will have to tell everything you have tried... like bios settings etc..
[23:44] <xarth>  Is this the right channel to beg for help about the gcc compilation ?
[23:44] <tonyyarusso> fffffffuuuuuuuuu: It means you didn't specify a filesystem type.
[23:46] <fffffffuuuuuuuuu> added 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?
[23:47] <Starminn> If I made something with Linux Multimedia Studio, used it freely and openly, what restrictions would I have to follow?
[23:47] <arosen> fffffffuuuuuuuuu: dmesg?
[23:47] <katmagic> xarth: Possibly. What are you trying to compile?
[23:47] <neonkid> well 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] <jzbl> fffffffuuuuuuuuu: dmesg and strace...
[23:47] <xarth> katmagic, a cross compiler for arm
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: tried booting usb?
[23:48] <xarth> i tried to compile gcc for my native without problems but for arm i have a problem
[23:48] <neonkid> The bios wont let me.
[23:48] <katmagic> You're trying to compile a compiler that compiles for ARM, or you're trying to compile something for ARM?
[23:48] <BernardV> neonkid: What kind of resolution and graphical interface does the vaio have?
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> neonkid: do you have a floppy drive?
[23:49] <mu3en> what's floppy drive?...
[23:49] <xarth> i m trying to compile a compiler for gcc
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> mu3en: takes a 3.5" disk
[23:49] <xarth> sorry for arm
[23:49] <tman_tman> what command do i run to find the chipset of my wireless card so i can use that info to configure kismet?
[23:50] <xarth> but i have this error: checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files .....   error: size of array 'off_t_is_large' is negative
[23:50] <leeeroooy_j> tman_tman: id try lshw  first
[23:50] <neonkid> it has a standerd resolution, 1024x786 or something
[23:50] <Terabyte> what's the opposite of sudo adduser username admin
[23:50] <Terabyte> (to de-admin them)
[23:50] <mu3en> grin... as in not a 3.5" SATA drive i guess Action Parsnip...
[23:50] <tman_tman> ok i'll try that
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> Terabyte: rmuser     you can use -p to remove their home too
[23:50] <Terabyte> i don't want to delete the user
[23:50] <Terabyte> i just want to unadmin them
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> mu3en: 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.jpg
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> Terabyte: ahh, then its not that
[23:51] <leeeroooy_j> tman_tman: to just focus on your card you may want to put sudo lshw -c network
[23:51] <tman_tman> one more thing do you know what information i put under the kismet source line in kismet.conf
[23:51] <BernardV> xarth: You want to compile a compiler for ARM to compile for arm on a x86 CPU?
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> Terabyte: look into usermod to remove them from the admin group
[23:51] <xarth> BernardV, yes
[23:51] <Kindari> Hey 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 mentioned
[23:51] <leeeroooy_j> tman_tman: sorry i don't use kismet
[23:52] <BernardV> Then google for "gcc arm toolchain"
[23:52] <mu3en> damn...that must hold what..at least a mb and a half ActionParsnip
[23:52] <tman_tman> ok thats cool thank you very much
[23:52] <tman_tman> that helped alot
[23:52] <tman_tman> :)
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> chad___: sudo apt-get install gconf-editor
[23:52] <ebec1983> Does anybody have experience making multiple monitor support for a video card that doesn't automatically register the second display?
[23:52] <leeeroooy_j> tman_tman: you re welcome :)
[23:53] <neonkid> the only floppy drive I have is on the coputer in question
[23:53] <xarth> BernardV, 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] <neonkid> computer*
[23:53] <leeeroooy_j> ebec1983: sadly that is sometimes common, what video card are you using?
[23:53] <BernardV> xarth: What's the target? Something like the Mini2440 board?
[23:53] <chad___> ActionParsnip: Those directories are missing
[23:53] <ebec1983> GeForce 8400 GS. Thanks btw for any help
[23:54] <xarth> BernardV, my target is an arm
[23:54] <Kindari> I 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] <BernardV> xarth: Maybe you can find some usefull info on http://www.friendlyarm.net something like: http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/1582
[23:54] <leeeroooy_j> ebec1983: 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] <moses> how come when ubuntu installs it doesnt take longer to format the disk???
[23:54] <xarth> BernardV, I compiled different tools used by gcc. (mpfr gmp cloog ppl mpc)
[23:54] <xarth> ok i will check
[23:55] <xarth> thx
[23:55] <BernardV> xarth: 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] <ActionParsnip> chad___: i see, hmm
[23:55] <ebec1983> latest desktop and nvidia drivers sorry i'm on windows right now. should i check and come back?
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> chad___: do you have the folder $HOME/Desktop    ?
[23:55] <mu3en> there is #ubuntu-arm too xarth
[23:55] <chad___> ActionParsnip: YEs
[23:55] <leeeroooy_j> ebec1983: did you install  those drivers from jockey? using proprietary ones?
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> chad___: I'd ask in #xubuntu too, let me websearch
[23:56] <ebec1983> proprietary from drivers settings in admin
[23:56] <Terabyte> still haven't figured it out
[23:56] <ebec1983> the "typical" way
[23:56] <chad___> ActionParsnip: I did earlier today, but unfortunately it's not nearly as active
[23:56] <ebec1983> sorry i wish i had more
[23:56] <leeeroooy_j> ebec1983: it would be rather hard to provide you help if you re not on Ubuntu but lets see, do both monitors work with windows in the first place?
[23:57] <xarth> BernardV, my idea is to compile a cross compiler for arm and use qemu to test it
[23:57] <xarth> mu3en, ok i will test
[23:57] <xarth> thx
[23:57] <ebec1983> not without nvidia drivers. should i check x.org configuration settings and manually add the second monitor?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> chad___: mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/xfdesktoprc
[23:57] <leeeroooy_j> ebec1983: so with nvidia drivers the 2 monitors work under windows?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> chad___: change show-home=true   to show-home=false
[23:58] <BernardV> gcc can compile for arm with the right toolchains, I don't know if you can compile gcc for arm...
[23:58] <vlt> Hello. How can I run a program and tell it to always stay on top of the other X windows?
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> vlt: i believe its a setting in ccsm
[23:58] <chad___> ActionParsnip: This file is empty. Sjust input that?
[23:58] <katmagic> Terabyte: Probably `sudo usermod -G "$(groups $USER | sed -e "s/$BAD_GROUP//;s/ /,/g; s/^,//; s/,$//; s/,,//")" $USER`
[23:58] <chad___> ActionParsnip: So*
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> chad___: http://richs-lxh.com/howto-hide-or-show-xfce-desktop-icons/#comment-8006
[23:58] <Starminn> vlt: Or after it's running just set "Always on top" by right-clicking on the title bar
[23:58] <ebec1983> leeeeroooy, yes they do with nvidia drivers under Windows.
[23:59] <tylerCanada> is 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] <Terabyte> katmagic is there a better way that's slightly more verifiable?
[23:59] <leeeroooy_j> ebec1983: did you try look for a "dual monitor" option under nvidia control panel? (under Ubuntu)
[23:59] <Terabyte> god knows if that code works
[23:59] <vlt> Starminn: I'm looking for a way to _run_ it on top from the very beginning.
[23:59] <BernardV> xarth: You could also install ubuntu-arm in qemu and install gcc :P
[23:59] <Starminn> vlt: Then as someone else said, ccsm is likely what you want
[23:59] <tylerCanada> ideally 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 them
[23:59] <intrader> Hello, 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?
