[00:02] <lasha> omfg after all this time i think i fixed this BS
[00:02] <Qinxu> I am attempting a USB install on an HP mini 311. Upon boot,, the system freezes at the boot menu. Any advice? Haven't found anything helpful on my own.
[00:02] <lasha> thanks guys but grub is a real headache
[00:02] <szal> lasha: it's 'os-prober'
[00:02] <OerHeks> aabbccdwe, al i know there is a wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[00:03] <szal> seems I misremembered the name
[00:03] <tzhuang> Can anyone help me with this:
[00:03] <tzhuang> Regarding Ubuntu 11.04 installation: I partitioned around 100MB as a boot partition for which I specified to mount /boot. I then said to install the bootloader to sda7 (the boot partition). During the installation, the installer said I could not install the bootloader to the partition. The gui wouldn't work at that point so I was forced to reboot. Then I tried to install Grub2 manually through a terminal to no avail.  The error I get is "Sector 50 is already in 
[00:04] <aabbccdwe> thanks for the link.
[00:04] <szal> tzhuang: if you split your message such that all of it is readable, we would appreciate that
[00:06] <szal> lapaga: before I forget that - thanks :)
[00:06] <tzhuang> szal: I did that last time and someone sarcastically told me not to use the enter key as a punctuation.
[00:07] <tzhuang> Regarding Ubuntu 11.04 installation: I partitioned around 100MB as a boot partition for which I specified to mount /boot.
[00:07] <gohdan> can i rate limit the bandwidth usage of apt?
[00:07] <pdtpatrick> Looks like we are stuck with the Unity dock? Can't move it in 11.04 nor is it planned to be moved in 11.10 .. Saw a note from Mark Shuttleworth: “I’m afraid the location of the Unity launcher is fixed by design. We want the launcher always close to the Ubuntu button.” .. anyone know of a hack to hide it?
[00:07] <squarebracket> what's the best partition type to use for windows / linux cross-compatibility?
[00:07] <tzhuang> I then said to install the bootloader to sda7 (the boot partition). During the installation, the installer said I could not install the bootloader to the partition.
[00:08] <tzhuang> The gui wouldn't work at that point so I was forced to reboot. Then I tried to install Grub2 manually through a terminal to no avail.
[00:08] <tzhuang> The error I get is "Sector 50 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it. This software may cause boot or other problems in the future. Please ask its authors not to store data in the boot track."
[00:08] <KM0201> tzhuang: no need to make a mountain out of a molehill, just put grub on the mbr..
[00:09] <tzhuang> KM0201: thanks i'll look into that
[00:10] <aabbccdwe> ,
[00:10] <tzhuang> KM0201: Do you know why it wouldn't let me install grub into my boot partition? I was told it was good partitioning pracitce to have a separate boot partition.
[00:10] <KM0201> tzhuang: i've been using linux for almost 7yrs, and never one time have I set up a /boot partition for grub..
[00:11] <aabbccdwe> //
[00:11] <tzhuang> KM0210: iwas following one of the partition schemes on the ubuntu website, the example it gave specified a boot parititon of about 100MB
[00:12] <Qinxu> Installing via USB is causing hand at boot menu on my HP Mini 311. Any advive?
[00:12] <riddler> I want to remove games on my lubuntu so I went to Synaptic Package Manager and "mark for complete removal", after that it tells me "Mark additional required changes? the chosen action also affects other packages. the following changes are required in order to proceed. To be removed: lubuntu-desktop  cancel/mark"   do i select it and mark or just hit mark, what will happen, will it remove my lubuntu desktop?
[00:13] <gohdan> !tell Qinxu about alternate
[00:14] <wildbat> Qinxu: should you be in hosiptial ?~ you just lost a hand ;p ~j/k just you haven't make a boot USB successfully ~ try other method of make it.
[00:15] <Qinxu> gohdan. I am using USB boot
[00:16] <Qinxu> I am using the specified method. It bppts and gives me the menu. It hangs when I hit a key.
[00:16] <ejo> So... I'm scp'ing a small file (3 MB) over to my account on a server, and scp gets to 100%.  I wait a few seconds and I get a cursor back in my shell but no prompt.  It then takes another two minutes, nearly, to get my prompt back.  Is that just a result of buffering or something in the transfer?
[00:16] <ejo> I'm guessing 100% shown by the progress display was only referring to 100% of it having entered the buffer, and it hadn't actually been all transferred at that point.
[00:16] <squarebracket> what's the best partition type to use for windows / linux cross-compatibility?
[00:16] <squarebracket> err, filesystem type
[00:17] <patrycja> hello
[00:17] <wildbat> squarebracket: you don't have choose ~ FAT32/ ntfs is all windows can use
[00:17] <gohdan> squarebracket:  you can use ext3 if you install the appropriate drivers in windows
[00:17] <Qinxu> I used the same stick to insyall on my Eee 900
[00:18] <Omen_20> ?
[00:18] <squarebracket> ok, so between fat32, ntfs and ext3, which is the best to use? it'll mostly be for storage / backup; windows and linux OS's have their own partitions | wildbat gohdan
[00:19] <squarebracket> or does it even matter if performance isn't a huge issue?
[00:20] <tofaffy> Hello, I'm running Gnome3 in Ubuntu 11.04 and I am trying to figure out what the old "Apperance" program was, as it is no longer installed.
[00:20] <aeon-ltd> tofaffy: gnome-apperance-manager iirc
[00:20] <wildbat> squarebracket: i would pick ntfs ~ i don't like ext3 under wins ~ it mount as ext2 ~ fat32 is kinda outdated ~ not files >2GB.
[00:20] <gohdan> squarebracket:  ntfs doesnt have the limitations of fat32 and ext isnt native to windows. (although ntfs isnt native to *nix either) ntfs would be the "sane" choice
[00:20] <tonyyarusso> squarebracket: Whatever you're using natively.  So, backup the Windows to NTFS, and the Linux to ext3.
[00:20] <aeon-ltd> tofaffy: *properties not manager
[00:21] <tofaffy> aeon-ltd: That isn't installed, and isn't available in the repos.
[00:21] <squarebracket> tonyyarusso, sure, but that would require separate partitions. i don't want to have to juggle partition size, cuz that's /never/ an easy task
[00:22] <squarebracket> wildbat, gohdan thanks for your help
[00:22] <simpleblue> "ifconfig" in terminal = "bash: ifconfig: command not found" .. using arch. any ideas?
[00:22] <aeon-ltd> tofaffy: its part of gnome control centre
[00:22] <simpleblue> i know i'm missing a package for it. just don't know which one :/
[00:23] <gohdan> simpleblue: this is an ubuntu support channel. if you need arch support please use their channel
[00:23] <simpleblue> gohdan, the programs would be similiar, but i'll leave if you want me to
[00:23] <squarebracket> simpleblue, i've heard arch is a bit difficult, good luck! :)
[00:24] <simpleblue> i'm finding that out, lol
[00:24] <gohdan> simpleblue: they are radically different. and we can not support another distro here. particularly one with such poor security and pkg management practices
[00:24] <westz> i'm trying to find someone who might be interested in coding a blog, staying on for support and hopefully making some money in the long term
[00:24] <simpleblue> alright gohdan, tc
[00:24] <Blue1> westz: have you seen my blog?  http://www.pkill-9.com
[00:24] <westz> and yeah, i know this isnt the channel for that
[00:26] <gohdan> squarebracket: arch is pretty easy. a lazy mans gentoo
[00:26] <westz> gohdan,  HA
[00:26] <TrevInc> My sister tried to install Gentoo. She cried.
[00:26] <squarebracket> gohdan, hahaha
[00:26] <squarebracket> that's one way of putting it :)
[00:27] <westz> gohdan, just as difficult as gentoo really, but a better package manager (imho)
[00:27] <RPG-Master> What's the best file system for sharing between Ubuntu and OS X?
[00:28] <StevenR> RPG-Master: what's your criteria for "best" ?
[00:28] <RPG-Master> Besides FAT and its limited self.
[00:28] <gohdan> westz: packman _is_ pretty nice.. all those unsigned pkgs it pulls in.... not so much
[00:28] <StevenR> RPG-Master: and define "sharing" too
[00:29] <amfcosta> hello
[00:29] <gohdan> westz: https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2011/02/19/archs-dirty-little-notso-secret/
[00:29] <RPG-Master> StevenR: Well, something other than NTFS, but is still easily read able between the two, on an external HDD.
[00:29] <amfcosta> is there anyway to get the current state of the messages (chat, mail) indicator?
[00:30] <RPG-Master> Unless NTFS is the only easy-to-set-up-and-read FS...
[00:30] <StevenR> RPG-Master: so, really you mean "What FS should I use for my external hard disk to allow my mac and my ubuntu box to read it" ?
[00:30] <amfcosta> preferably in C... but in pyton will also do it...
[00:30] <RPG-Master> StevenR: Sorry, yeah that about sums it up.
[00:31] <RPG-Master> Listening to metal while writing...
[00:31] <squarebracket> westz, gohdan, i've actually debated trying arch just because packman sounds intriguing... but that security issue is good to know
[00:31] <RPG-Master> It messes with ya'
[00:31] <StevenR> RPG-Master: it's cool, just making sure I captured your question correctly :) ... you might try the mac-native fs (HFS+ or whatever it's called?) I think the Linux kernel can read that
[00:32] <RPG-Master> StevenR: Googling it now...
[00:32] <StevenR> RPG-Master: or there might be a fuse package for it
[00:32] <gohdan> squarebracket: it is even more troubling because the arch lead dev has been rooted on numerous occasions... because of changes he and his teams have made to pkgs in the repo defaulting to the least secure settings, and overwritting any secure confs a user previously had
[00:32] <StevenR> RPG-Master: sudo apt-cache search hfs   suggests a few things too
[00:33] <westz> squarebracket, dont let that get to you, it's a very upstream distro so it's inevitable. it's a really good distro, i used it until i broke it, but i didnt have the time to get it set up again (no internet at home, and i leave for the military in a week)
[00:33] <RPG-Master> StevenR: I have read about this MacFuse thing, and how it'll let you use most file systems on a Mac. But I couldn't figure out how to set it up.
[00:33] <StevenR> RPG-Master: it's probably easier to let the mac use something native, and let the ubuntu box deal with it :)
[00:34] <RPG-Master> StevenR: Probably. :P
[00:34] <squarebracket> gohdan, WOW... that's crazy
[00:34] <squarebracket> westz, maybe i'll set it up in a vm.. just to play it safe :)
[00:36] <gohdan> squarebracket: bettter drop a vm in a vm in a vm to be sure. after all... its arch :3
[00:39] <RPG-Master> StevenR: Scratch that. Linux can only read HFS+. Linux /can/ write, but you first must turn off journaling. Not good...
[00:39] <squarebracket> gohdan, don't worry, i'll throw windows in the mix somewhere... just to throw them off the scent ;)
[00:39] <ubuntunoobie2903> How does a program get into the Ubuntu repository? Who is in charge of updating the repository when a new version of a program comes out?
[00:41] <squarebracket> oh man, i'm excited to try running the source engine under linux... finally getting a decent install of ubuntu going on my desktop
[00:41] <gohdan> ubuntunoobie2903: a majority of the pkgs come from the upstream debian repo. the people in charge of updates in ubuntu are the ubuntu package maintainers (aka ubuntu developers)
[00:43] <ubuntunoobie2903> So when someone comes out with a new version of their program, are they responsible for submitting that update? Does the update have to be approved?
[00:45] <sd> ubuntunoobie2903 i believe it does have to be approved otherwise some programmers can put bad code on your computer
[00:45] <gohdan> ubuntunoobie2903: the maintainer is in charge of obtaining the package, approving, testing, configuring and patching it to work with ubuntu.
[00:46] <squarebracket> gohdan, how hard is it to get vetted as a maintainer? i remember at one point there was a package that was not actively maintained, and i wanted to see if i could package it.
[00:48] <tempore> hi, is there any self-installing software for ubuntu vpn?  because openvpn and fppt dont work neither connect in my ubuntu
[00:48] <gohdan> squarebracket: you start off by bug squashing and building a name in the community. eventually you can request or be offered a mentorship and begin that way.
[00:49] <[THC]AcidRain> vfd
[00:49] <ubuntunoobie2903> gohdan: So how do I figure out who is maintaining a particular package?
[00:49] <StevenR> RPG-Master: in that case, it's probably the mac-fuse thing you need to look at then, or a format both can read.
[00:49] <StevenR> RPG-Master: I'm gone now. (it's nearly 2am here!)
[00:50] <RPG-Master> StevenR: Thanks and goodnight. :)
[00:50] <gohdan> i believe there is a nice episode about this process on the "This Week in Debian" podcast.  | ubuntunoobie2903 squarebracket
[00:50] <tempore> hi, is there any self-installing software for ubuntu vpn?  because openvpn and fppt network vpn dont work neither connect in my ubuntu
[00:51] <amfcosta> so, is there anyway (in C or Python) to get the state of the messages indicator in 11.04? I mean, to know if there's a notification or not?
[00:51] <Logan_> ubuntunoobie2903: http://packages.ubuntu.com/distro/package - e.g. http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/pisg - it displays the maintainer in the right column.
[00:51] <squarebracket> gohdan, oh cool, thanks for the tip
[00:51] <gohdan> ubuntunoobie2903:  the developer in charge of a pkg is noted on packages.ubuntu.com
[00:52] <gohdan> it may be in the documentation pulled down by dpkg too
[00:53] <ubuntunoobie2903> gohdan: thanks
[00:56] <asdf486> Hi, Im having trouble configuring comcast wireless with mint 11, anyone want to help?
[00:57] <KM0201> asdf486: comcast wireless?
[00:57] <gohdan> although, i am not privy to how difficult it is to break in as an ubuntu developer. most of them are the original debian maintainers and canonical just rsyncs the repo but ubuntu does have many pf there own. debian is the most accessible and easy distro to become active in.
[00:58] <asdf486> yeah
[00:58] <gohdan> s/pf/of
[00:58] <tempore>  hi, is there any self-installing vpn software for ubuntu ?  because openvpn and fppt dont work  in my ubuntu
[00:58] <gohdan> any changes made to debian will more than likely make its way into ubuntu

[00:59] <KM0201> asdf486: why don't you state your problem... how do you usually connect via the comcast wireless?.. an internal wireless device, to a router, or an usb wireless device to a router, or what?
[00:59] <ugly_duck> onLY started a little while ago
[01:00] <szal> !mint | asdf486
[01:00] <ugly_duck> i have rebooted
[01:00] <szal> KM0201: we don't support Mint, so no use asking
[01:00] <tempore> ogryllida, ok, hi, is there any self-installing vpn software for ubuntu ?  because openvpn and fppt network vpn dont work , dont connet  in my ubuntu
[01:00] <asdf486> i was told any ubuntu help is still applicable in mint
[01:01] <quidnunc> What is the easiest way to make an autheticated proxy server (HTTP or socks)
[01:01] <KM0201> oh i didn't see he was using Mint
[01:01] <szal> asdf486: then you were told wrong
[01:01] <KM0201> asdf486: usually iti s, but people in #ubuntu, don't support Mint, you need to go to the mint channel
[01:01] <asdf486> my card driver is working already, i see the wireless netowrks, there is just some extra authentication or something im not doing because it doesn't accept my sign in credentials
[01:01] <arturo> heloo
[01:01] <ugly_duck> any one?
[01:02] <tempore> gryllida, a vpn self-installing  client for ubuntu ?
[01:02] <Gryllida> tempore, ask the channel and not me; I'm not really knowledgeable in that.
[01:02] <szal> tempore: "don't work" is NOT an error description..
[01:02] <Gryllida> tempore, I only asked you to say why they can't connect, what is going on exactly.
[01:03] <KM0201> !doesntwork
[01:04] <ugly_duck> GRR!
[01:05] <asdf486> can someone help me out?  the linux mint chat room is much smaller, the probbability of getting the help I need is fairly low
[01:05] <ugly_duck> man! anyone even listening
[01:05] <asdf486> and ubuntu help for this also applies for mint
[01:05] <KM0201> ugisozols: naa.
[01:05] <szal> asdf486: Mint != *buntu, period.
[01:05] <Scribbled2x> Anyone have a suggestion: perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.1-17ubuntu4.1) but 5.12.4-1ubuntu1 is to be installed as to how to cure this ill?

[01:06] <squarebracket> ugly_duck, that is a hilarious problem, but i'm afraid i can't help you
[01:06] <squarebracket> ugly_duck, maybe something's wrong with the actual keyboard? have you tried it with another machine?
[01:06] <gohdan> ugly_duck: clean your keyboard once in a while and this wont happen
[01:06] <ugly_duck> its on my laptop
[01:07] <tempore> szal I found a VPN client for self-installing ubuntu but commercial and everything is self-configuring
[01:07] <squarebracket> ugly_duck, i have to agree with gohdan then, it could be a sticky caps lock key
[01:07] <Erealz> as some of you might be in the i.t field what the defecto standerd of backing up reinstalling a users desktop installed apps and update and so on...?
[01:07] <bazhang> tempore, thats not possible
[01:07] <ugly_duck> it would stay on caps then, wouldn't it
[01:07] <ugly_duck> but its not, it can change on any letter as i type
[01:07] <ugly_duck> but oh well
[01:07] <squarebracket> ugly_duck, it could be a problem with the actual contact of the caps lock key.
[01:07] <tempore> bazhang i have the link of this vpn client for ubuntu
[01:08] <tempore> and i have the file
[01:08] <squarebracket> ugly_duck, so small vibrations could trigger it, i.e. typing
[01:08] <ugly_duck> k
[01:08] <bazhang> tempore, did you have an actual support question? you were trying to run a vpn through wine the other day
[01:08] <gohdan> ugly_duck: 1)remove shift key cap. 2) clean area under key cap. 3) replace keycap 4) ???????? 5) PROFIT!
[01:08]  * ugly_duck finds another keyboard and replaces it
[01:09] <asdf486> xmodmap
[01:09] <bazhang> tempore, there is no self-installing vpn for ubuntu. please stop.
[01:09] <squarebracket> ugly_duck, type numbers and see what happens. if they're always numbers it's caps lock. if you get symbols sometimes, it's shift key. but seriously, try what gohdan says, it could just be dirty

[01:16] <bazhang> tom719co, not found for the repos?
[01:17] <tom719co> i tried installing webmin, proftpd, and vsftpd, all with trouble with dependancy issues.. it would say things like dependancy xxx needed but not installed

[01:17] <locodir-user> Can I get help here?
[01:17] <tom719co> i tried making a new sources file with the "old-releases" repositories but it didnt help

[01:21] <locodir-user> My wireless keeps connecting and disconnecting.  And its not my modem, I believe it the ubuntu I recently downloaded. I have Ubuntu 11.04.
[01:21] <nemor> kubuntu will have all the kde applications
[01:21] <nemor> would have
[01:22] <a1fa> i am trying to purge perl, http://pastebin.com/KH4qXthJ
[01:22] <a1fa> but its giving me problems
[01:22] <bazhang> locodir-user, whats the wifi chipset
[01:22] <a1fa> how can i remove this package from the database
[01:22] <nemor> do you want only to see and try kde or use it as main
[01:22] <asdf486> I have the same problemas locodir,there is some basic (probbably universal linux) wireless config that needs to be done to get wireless working with linux.  Im surprised no body knows how to do it...
[01:22] <Simon___> Hi, can someone PLEASE help me install a network printer on Lucid Lynx?
[01:23] <bazhang> asdf486, this is not mint support please dont ask here
[01:23] <bazhang> Simon___, which model number
[01:23] <asdf486> I just tried an ubuntu live usb, it does the same thing
[01:23] <Simon___> Printer? Brother MFC 7820
[01:23] <bazhang> Simon___, what does linuxprinting.org database say abou t that
[01:24] <ubun> .
[01:24] <ubun> I think i messed up... i was trying to get kdenlive to work correctly and maybe i installed or uninstalled something. i cant install anything that has to do with ffmpeg.  it says this in software center "items cannot be installed or removed until the package catalog is repaired, do you want to repair it now?" when i hit repair it does nothing
[01:24] <Simon___> Sorry, I'm new and I've read everything from the Ubuntu forums, but nothing seems to work.
[01:24] <bazhang> ubun, kdenlive installed from where? PPA?
[01:25] <bazhang> Simon___, that is the linuxprinting.org database, no connection to ubuntuforums. please have a look
[01:25] <ubun> bazhang: idk i got it from software center
[01:26] <Simon___> Sorry, I'm so new that I don't even really understand what you're telling me (although I think it means I'm in the wrong group...?)
[01:26] <bazhang> ubun, try installing from the terminal and then pastebin the messages
[01:26] <ubun> bazhang: k
[01:27] <bazhang> Simon___, open a browser---> go to www.linuxprinting.org  click link database, enter printer model and search for number , hit enter, tell us what you find
[01:27] <Simon___> ok, thanks
[01:28] <asdf486> ok I no longer have mint11, now I have ubuntu.  Does anyone want to help configure comcast wireless with ubuntu?
[01:28] <KM0201> asdf486: lol, you're lying, you can't install ubuntu that fast
[01:28] <ubun> bazhang: this is what i did "sudo apt-get install kdenlive" and this are the errors Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  kdenlive : Dep

[01:29] <Gryllida> ubun: Please read what ubottu said above.
[01:29] <ubun> idid
[01:29] <oyster> I have a question about downloading and installing Linux. Can someone help me?
[01:30] <Gryllida> Guest52836: What is your problem? What site you referring to?
[01:30] <gohdan> oyster: dont ask to ask, just ask
[01:30] <Gryllida> oyster: If you ask.
[01:31] <Simon___> bazhang, you wanted me to enter my printer model in the printer database, right?

[01:32] <itaylor57> KM0201, o/
[01:32] <bazhang> Simon___, correct
[01:32] <oyster> If I pick the "Run it with Windows" option when downloading Linux, and download then install it. Then it won't replace Windows, I will have the option to boot  from either Windows or Linux at startup, right?
[01:32] <Gryllida> oyster, Right.
[01:32] <bazhang> oyster, thats wubi, so yes
[01:32] <ubun> Gryllida: how do i post bin here?
[01:33] <fauncybillups> I am creating a chef recipe to install postfix.  I would like to install postfix via aptitutde and automatically select the "No Configuration" option that pops up in the ncurses dialog.  Is there any way to do that programatically?
[01:33] <gohdan> wubi is like a vm-ish thing right?
[01:33] <Gryllida> ubun, Paste the new URL that you get after submitting.
[01:33] <bazhang> ubun, paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url
[01:33] <oyster> Ok, thanks!
[01:33] <Gryllida> gohdan, Yes, that's correct.
[01:33] <ubun> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/638632/plain/
[01:33] <Simon___> (Just so you know, I've tried going through the 'Add New Printer' routine - using the printer's IP address, and it does add my printer name, but it never seems to communicate and actually print anything.)
[01:35] <asdf630> ok i did uname, it displays my system information...
[01:36] <gohdan> asdf630: paste the output in here
[01:36] <ubun> I get this when i try to uninstall ffmpeg http://paste.ubuntu.com/638634/ (ill mention that i did have it before, but after trying to get a good video editor i must have done something wrong)
[01:36] <ParadigmUltra> Simon___: I'm no expert, but make sure that you have any SAMBA requirments that there might be.
[01:36] <ubun> correction install
[01:37] <Simon___> I did run SAMBA and made an exception for it in my Firewall.
[01:37] <ParadigmUltra> Simon___: You may need to setup a host file with the names of devices, or run a DNS server
[01:37] <tom719co> I don't see 10.04 (non-LTS) on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[01:37] <Simon___> Man, that's all way beyond me
[01:37] <tom719co> Am I missing something?
[01:37] <szal> tom719co: there is no 10.04 non-LTS
[01:37] <ParadigmUltra> Or maybe a DNS client rather than server, I'm sure someone here knows.
[01:37] <tom719co> ok so what is the oldest free version of Ubuntu?
[01:37] <Simon___> I wonder why the native "Install New Printer" sequence doesn't work
[01:37] <tom719co> that is still supported
[01:38] <szal> tom719co: all versions of *buntu are free
[01:38] <ubun> tom719co: why do you need to know that?
[01:38] <tom719co> szal: but isnt LTS long time support - paid support?
[01:38] <szal> tom719co: no
[01:38] <greyfiend> I want to set the ability to drag windows into other virtual desktops, but I can't find any virtual desktop settings in 11.04 studio, anyone got suggestions?
[01:38] <szal> LTS says nothing about paid or not
[01:38] <TheNander> Anyone know how to update your version of ubuntu if you use wubi
[01:38] <gohdan> tom719co: it just means that the release will be maintained
[01:39] <tom719co> ubun: because I have a Ubuntu 9.04 system and I don't want to upgrade it all the way to current version.. but instead to the oldest supported version
[01:39] <tntc> is there a way to remove duplicate songs from Banshee?
[01:39] <tom719co> so how do they make any money at all?
[01:39] <ParadigmUltra> Simon___: Might need some additional config for network printing, however alas, I did manage to setup network printing and file sharing on my last incarnation of Ubuntu, by following a guide I found online, and I'm no wiz.  I wish I had the link, but it was in google toolbar which I can get anymore :-(
[01:39] <KM0201> tom719co: oldest supported is 10.04 i do believe.
[01:39] <ubun> tom719co: have you tried 10.04
[01:39] <tom719co> that's what my plan was
[01:39] <tom719co> 10.04
[01:39] <ANONYMOUSIP> always they want a real ip why why why in this site ? becase they are the dictators of this site but they are anonymous for the another users always
[01:40] <szal> on the desktop: 10.04 LTS, for server use: 8.04 LTS is still supported as well
[01:40] <ubun> tom719co: is it a question of old hardware?
[01:40] <ParadigmUltra> I kept all my bookmarks in google toolbar, now I can't install it with the new firefox.  sux
[01:40] <tom719co> ubun: it's a server and i dont want to take an unneccasry risk
[01:40] <Shariff> Hi there
[01:40] <ubun> tom719co: i dont know anything about that.
[01:40] <Shariff> How can I get a list of packages that I can install with apt?
[01:41] <tom719co> ubun: it's a production server
[01:41] <gohdan> tom719co: then you should run debian stable
[01:41] <Shariff> i.e. list all packages starting with foo*
[01:41] <tom719co> gohdan: i didnt pick the OS..
[01:41] <ParadigmUltra> !network printing
[01:41] <ubun> so can anyone help me  figure this out -----> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638634/
[01:41] <EmuAlert> Can I fairly safely replace one Ubuntu installation with another?
[01:42] <KM0201> EmuAlert: define "fairly safely"
[01:42] <gohdan> EmuAlert: and replace in what manner?
[01:42] <ANONYMOUSIP> in windows i can be anonymous ever because  i have many vpn clients but in ubuntu i only can be anonymous with a vpn client to run with wine, why?
[01:43] <EmuAlert> KM0201: As in, wipe the current Ubuntu installation and replace it entirely, while keeping the same parition size and not screwing up my other partitions
[01:43] <tsimpson> Shariff: use apt-cache
[01:43] <KM0201> EmuAlert: its very easy... if you pay attention.;
[01:43] <szal> tom719co: there is no supported upgrade path from 9.04 to 10.04 any more, so you basically have 2 options: keep 9.04 running but be aware that it's out of support, or reinstall w/ 10.04, that'll keep you running till 12.04, upgrade to which will be supported, or till approx. spring 2015 at the latest
[01:44] <tsimpson> tom719co: see the guide I gave you
[01:44] <gohdan> EmuAlert: then, yes. you should also probably use a separate '/home' partition
[01:44] <KM0201> gohdan: not really
[01:45] <ANONYMOUSIP> how ubuntu can be sure if is so difficult to install a vpn client native?
[01:45] <tom719co> szal/tsimpson: i'm getting conflicting information ...  the link shows an upgrade path to 10.04 still.   I dont *require* it to be upgraded fully.. It's just that I couldn't install anything. But after using the sources.list provided in the EOL document, I can now install what I needed.. So I'm not sure if I should proceed
[01:46] <szal> ANONYMOUSIP: there is no such thing as anonymity on the Internet; there'll always be a way to find out your IP, you can only make it more difficult
[01:46] <tsimpson> tom719co: you should, as you will get no security updates with 9.04
[01:47] <ubuntunoobie2903> Could anyone help me figure out where scid is putting its configuration file. The program has an error at start up because it is trying to execute an invalid command, it promptly freezes, and automatically closes out. I have tried permanently removing the package, restarting, searching for any scid files and deleting them, but when I reinstall it still executes the invalid command (open a chess engine that I was tr
[01:47] <ubuntunoobie2903> ying to get it to run) and crashes. I can't find the damn ghost of a configuration file.
[01:47] <ANONYMOUSIP> szal ok but my vpn client in ubuntu with wine is the most sure of all?
[01:48] <gohdan> ANONYMOUSIP: running anything in wine on *nix is almost certainly not "sure" at all
[01:48] <szal> whatever "sure" is supposed to mean in this context
[01:48] <gohdan> indeed
[01:48] <KM0201> ANONYMOUSIP: why on earth would you run a vpn clien tw/ wine?  that seems extremely reckless
[01:48] <ParadigmUltra> Wow, Team Fortress 2 is now free!
[01:49] <ParadigmUltra> Figures, when I mature and actually start paying for games instead of stealing them, they become free.
[01:49]  * gohdan insert copying is not theft argument here
[01:49] <szal> ANONYMOUSIP: also, the purpose of a VPN is not anonymity but inability for 3rd parties to break into sensitive connections
[01:50] <ANONYMOUSIP> yeah but i only have in ubuntu this vpn althoug be a risk to run with wine in ubuntu
[01:50] <ANONYMOUSIP> although
[01:52] <gohdan> ANONYMOUSIP:   'apt-cache search vpn' stop running things in wine
[01:53] <KM0201> ANONYMOUSIP: if you're that concerned about security, the last thing i wouold do, is run a VPN via wine
[01:53] <ANONYMOUSIP> for now only with wine in ubuntu i can have a vpn for ubuntu why why why becase im very silly for use ubuntu native?
[01:53] <bazhang> ANONYMOUSIP, please stop asking this
[01:54] <ANONYMOUSIP> bazhang ok but i can have a vpn client for ubuntu for now
[01:54] <bazhang> ANONYMOUSIP, first of all, its not possible to do in wine, as the helpers in #winehq have told you.
[01:54] <ANONYMOUSIP> i cant
[01:55] <ParadigmUltra> ANONYMOUSIP: I believe the point is that while Ubuntu is relativley secure, windows is not and niether is Wine.
[01:55] <szal> ANONYMOUSIP: you can't what?
[01:55] <KM0201> ParadigmUltra: bingo...
[01:55] <bazhang> ANONYMOUSIP, thats enough
[01:55] <ANONYMOUSIP> bazhang can you see my network now ?
[01:56] <ANONYMOUSIP> i use a vpn with wine now is true
[01:56] <KM0201> 5
[01:56] <ANONYMOUSIP> since ubuntu
[01:56] <gohdan> ANONYMOUSIP: i already gave you a command to find native vpn solutions for ubuntu. or you can search the ubuntu package archive at packages.ubuntu.com. the options are legion. otherwise, please stop asking this question after we have given you plenty of answers to your question
[01:57]  * KM0201 knew that was coming
[01:57] <Madara`> :D
[01:58] <brewster> what is the rdp port on ubuntu?
[01:58] <ParadigmUltra> Is it just me, or is everything just more pleasant in Ubuntu?
[01:58] <ParadigmUltra> When it works, anyway
[01:59] <szal> ParadigmUltra: more pleasant than where?
[02:00] <brewster> nevermind :]
[02:01] <ParadigmUltra> It's a bit more  fun than my windows 7.  Maybe it's all the free apps to explore, or how my transparant triangle of virtual desktops with an animated panaramic nature background  makes me feel like I'm in the woods. I dunno.
[02:02] <thetrue> bazhang ; someone modify this vpn to run on wine with Ubuntu I downloaded the file and works better than windows
[02:03] <KM0201> thetrue: lol... you just can't let it go.
[02:03] <tom719co> so i'm tryin to upgrade 9.04 to 9.10, but get:
[02:04] <tom719co> "An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool."
[02:04] <tom719co> why isnt it trying to upgrade to Karmic?
[02:04] <KM0201> duno
[02:05] <Daekdroom> !karmic
[02:05] <thetrue> KM201 what???
[02:05] <Daekdroom> Maybe it's because Karmic reached EoL
[02:05] <bazhang> !ot | thetrue
[02:05] <tom719co> ok but i'm following EOL process to bring it to a supported release
[02:05] <froq> ff

[02:13] <crazybrain> yeah
[02:13] <crazybrain> its working fine with movie player
[02:14] <ParadigmUltra> ok, then check if your firefox has the ALSA plugin
[02:14] <tom719co> what is the best FTP server for allowing 1 web developer (who wont just use SSH..) FTP access to a specific account that's already in the system?
[02:14] <szal> tom719co: tell that person to use scp ;)
[02:15] <gohdan> lol
[02:17] <palhmbs> I'm still having problems with my fonts even after re-installing all of them...
[02:18] <palhmbs> it's weird, my browser displays most pages fine - yet google search results are all squashed up
[02:18] <tom719co> szal: well we at least said he had to VPN in if he had to use FTP.. not sure why
[02:18] <palhmbs> and I thought I had it fixed through re-installing - but now, after a reboot it's back :(
[02:22] <bobweaver> hi there I am trying to find a list of all things installed any one know where that is ?
[02:23] <gohdan> bobweaver: in synaptic they are listed in the 'status' > 'installed' tab
[02:24] <bobweaver> gohdan, thatnks but I am looking for something in the file system
[02:24] <bazhang> bobweaver, dkpg -l will do that as well
[02:24] <szal> *dpkg
[02:25] <bazhang> whoops thanks szal
[02:25] <bazhang> bobweaver, dpkg -l
[02:25] <gohdan> bobweaver: or are you trying to find the /location/ of a recently installed pkg?
[02:26] <bobweaver> gohdan, no dpkg -l works great
[02:26] <alexleon> can someone download this driver and see if i can use it in ubuntu?

[02:27] <alexleon> cuz it says for linux
[02:27] <alexleon> but i cant find the way to install it
[02:27] <gohdan> bobweaver: you mentioned file system so i wasnt entirely sure what you meant.
[02:27] <szal> alexleon: (1) use it for what?  (2) unpack & read the included documentation; it most probably tells you how to install it
[02:28] <KM0201> alexleon: what is that driver for?
[02:28] <alexleon> for my printer
[02:28] <bazhang> alexleon, what printer model and number
[02:28] <alexleon> that samsung support person told me to download
[02:28] <bazhang> alexleon, check linuxprinting.org   ---> first
[02:29] <bobweaver> gohdan, thanks for helping my bad with the way I wrote the question
[02:29] <alexleon> clx-3185
[02:29] <bazhang> alexleon, check the website I just linked for you
[02:29] <bazhang> alexleon, their database.
[02:30] <szal> alexleon: http://www.openprinting.org/printers
[02:30] <szal> perhaps someone should put that in a factoid
[02:30] <bazhang> !printing
[02:30] <alexleon> ill check it out
[02:30] <bazhang> szal, ^
[02:31] <szal> I bookmarked it to save some clicks because I only knew the old URL linuxprinting.org that doesn't go straight to the printer database
[02:31] <bazhang> good point. feel free to suggest edits to the factoid szal
[02:31] <szal> bazhang: replace http://linuxprinting.org by the above URL given by me
[02:32] <alexleon> i found it
[02:32] <alexleon> it says
[02:32] <alexleon> 	Samsung 3185FW

[02:33] <i2iot> I play guitar and use Adobe Audition in windows to lay tracks over others.... is there an ubuntu alternative sound editing and capturing software?
[02:33] <alexleon> :(
[02:33] <hamnegga> Sound support sucks in linux
[02:33] <bazhang> !equivalents > i2iot
[02:33] <szal> i2iot: ardour, so I've heard..  I don't use it myself
[02:33] <gohdan> i2iot: ardour
[02:33] <hamnegga> so I've heard.  I've had to mess only with standard oss and alsa myself
[02:34] <i2iot> Thanks, will check it out!
[02:34] <gohdan> i2iot: might also want to consult the package list for ubuntu studio edition
[02:34] <hamnegga> wierd we both used the same phrase
[02:34] <szal> hamnegga: it does, but install the -rt (or was it -lowlatency?) kernel & run the stuff w/ JACK & you'll be surprised what you can get out of it
[02:35] <szal> hamnegga: provided you have decent hardware, that is
[02:36] <hamnegga> I was actually just thinking of compiling and trying linux-3.0-rc5
[02:36] <hamnegga> Is there anything I need to consider in compiling the kernel for amd64, or should that be fine, make make modules etc.
[02:37]  * szal would guess that somebody else already got their hands dirty w/ kernel 3.0 & you just need to search for a PPA that has it
[02:37] <dr_willis> !kernel
[02:37] <hamnegga> I don't have a dedicated sound card, just nforce 6150SE
[02:38] <i2iot> Can someone help me with this
[02:38] <i2iot> Your system has a limit for maximum amount of locked memory. This might cause Ardour to run out of memory before your system runs out of memory.
[02:38] <i2iot> You can view the memory limit with 'ulimit -l', and it is normally controlled by /etc/security/limits.conf
[02:38] <hamnegga> I wanna see ubuntu get some nvidia drivers that'll support both onboard and dedicated GPU's, simultaneously, for CUDA purposes.  I use CUDA with my GTX 460, but unlike windows, x won't boot unless I disable the onboard card
[02:39] <gohdan> i2iot: it should be fine under most circumstances.
[02:40] <szal> can Ardour run w/o JACK?  because installing JACK should modify limits.conf automatically (it did here)
[02:42] <hamnegga> The point is to use the bleeding edge kernel, not download and install the ubuntu package source manually.  Jeez
[02:43] <alexleon> :O i could print a test page
[02:44] <gohdan> szal: i dont think you can. it seems to be highly dependent on jack
[02:44] <ledjo> Hi I can't mount anything usb any more, I can only see usb device when I type lsusb and thats all, I tested fat usb stick, ntfs usb flash
[02:44] <L1nuxRules> ledjo error when attempting to mount?
[02:45] <ledjo> and psp and its the same no auto run, not in /media/usb nothing
[02:45] <ledjo> just nothing happens
[02:46] <L1nuxRules> ledjo how you trying to mount?
[02:46] <alexleon> if my printer works with usb can i set it up with wi fi?
[02:47] <ledjo> put inside and wait and nothing happens than I want to manually mount it but I dont know what /dev it is
[02:47] <odie5533> is there a way to ls files with two extensions? like avi files and mkv?
[02:48] <L1nuxRules> ledjo pastebin your fdisk -l or if thats all you need that will show you all the disk devices
[02:48] <L1nuxRules> ledjo probably need to run it as sudo if its an ubuntu desktop
[02:48] <ledjo> I said I dont know what /dev obviously I used fdisk l to check
[02:49] <jrib> odie5533: ls *.avi *.mkv
[02:49] <L1nuxRules> ok well what /dev is mounted and whats not thats listed in fdisk
[02:49] <ledjo> and its not listed
[02:49] <L1nuxRules> ledjo sounds like your usb device is dead then
[02:50] <ledjo> Im talking about 3 devices and they all work on windows desktop
[02:50] <szal> ledjo: did you try to reboot & see if that brings it back?
[02:50] <ledjo> if u dont know what to say then pssst
[02:50] <L1nuxRules> lmao fu was only trying to help
[02:50] <bazhang> !attitude | ledjo
[02:51] <gohdan> !tell thesheff17|AFK about afk
[02:51] <ledjo> of course I rebooted and did everything I can I wouldnt ask questions here
[02:51] <bazhang> ledjo, please be civil
[02:52] <thesheff17|AFK> gohdan: sorry about that
[02:52] <ledjo> bazahang Im ignoring u cause people here told me to
[02:52] <stercor> I just upgraded from 10.04->10.11->11.04.  Shortly after the boot process begins, the monitor displays "Sync. Out of Range".  I have a terminal, so I can repair things.  What to do?
[02:52] <odie5533> jrib: thanks
[02:52] <ledjo> I have a serious situation here I dont need lectures
[02:53] <gohdan> stercor: sounds like maybe the display resolution is set too high or too low
[02:53] <L1nuxRules> ledjo reinstall your usb drivers then help with that > /dev/null
[02:54] <ledjo> what 'usb drivers' ?
[02:54] <stercor> gohdan: There's no config file in /etc/X11...I remember from the bad old days setting up a monitor...I hope I don't have to go through that again.
[02:54] <L1nuxRules> ledjo go back to windows
[02:54] <stercor> gohdan: But I will if necessary.
[02:54] <ledjo> Im using only ubuntu here
[02:54] <ledjo> on laptop
[02:55] <ledjo> windows is desktop
[02:55] <L1nuxRules> sell your laptop then
[02:55] <stercor> ledjo: do you dual-boot?
[02:55] <ledjo> no
[02:55] <gohdan> stercor: im probably not the best person to assist you with troubleshooting X issues
[02:55] <stercor> ledjo: What's the problem?
[02:56] <ledjo> cant mount any usb device
[02:56] <stercor> gohdan: Thanks.  That's better than trying things and breaking them further.
[02:56] <ledjo> i.e. fat flash, ntfs flash and psp
[02:57] <szal> stercor: what gfx card?
[02:57] <stercor> gohdan: Issue the 'mount' command.
[02:57] <gohdan> stercor: but, IIRC there is no Xorg.conf generated if you use the proprietary nvidia drivers. but dont quot eme on that
[02:57] <stercor> szal: I don't know.
[02:57] <ChogyDan> ledjo: have you checked dmesg when you plug in the devices?
[02:57] <szal> stercor: lspci | grep -i vga
[02:57] <stercor> szal: Is there a way to find out?
[02:57] <ledjo> yes, its everything fine
[02:57] <stercor> szal: Mental telepathy...
[02:57] <gohdan> stercor:   'lspci | grep VGA'
[02:58] <ledjo> i see devices when I type lsusb
[02:58] <szal> gohdan: the nVidia driver itself does not generate one, but nvidia-xconfig does
[02:58] <ledjo> they are just not mounted
[02:58] <Gucci> SERVER -h
[02:59] <stercor> szal: gohdan: GeForce 6150 noforce 40] rev 2
[02:59] <L1nuxRules> ledjo have you just upgraded your kernel?
[03:00] <szal> stercor: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig <- then reboot
[03:00] <stercor> szal: Oh, for cut-and-paste in the terminal window... :-~
[03:00] <ChogyDan> ledjo: I really don't know.  So Im just throwing ideas.  Does dmesg tell you what /dev assignment it gets?
[03:00] <ledjo> just a sec
[03:02] <ChogyDan> ledjo: here is my dmesg when I plug in a drive: http://pastebin.com/hSKvQQK0   It is connected as sdc
[03:02] <ledjo> ehci_hcd
[03:02] <fission6> is there a package for pypy (python interpreter)
[03:02] <stercor> ledjo: what file systems do you have?
[03:03] <stercor> ledjo: NTFS and something else...
[03:03] <ledjo> on usb?
[03:03] <ledjo> ntfs
[03:03] <stercor> ledjo: Do you have a command-line interface?
[03:03] <stercor> ledjo: On the USP.
[03:03] <L1nuxRules> the file system wouldnt cause this problem
[03:03] <L1nuxRules> youd get some kind of error if it was the file system
[03:04] <ledjo> thats right thats why I said its ok
[03:04] <TML-prv> Pardon if this seems like a silly question, but I'm more comfortable on Debian than Ubuntu, and I can't seem to find the Apache debug symbols on Ubuntu - on debian, it'd be in apache2-dbg, but natty at least seems to have no such package
[03:04] <stercor> LinuxRules: but the correct mount command would help.
[03:04] <fission6> i am running lxde whats the best way to update from karmic to the latest ubuntu?
[03:04] <stercor> ledjo: cd /dev
[03:04] <edbian> fission6: sudo do-release-upgrade   (assuming it's installed and karmic isn't dead)
[03:05] <fission6> assuming what's installed?
[03:05] <fission6> karmic?
[03:05] <edbian> do-release-upgrade
[03:05] <fission6> well ill try
[03:05] <L1nuxRules> stercor yes but if the command was wrong it would sderr
[03:06] <stercor> ledjo: If you do an ls you'll get a whole bunch of output.  What you're looking for is /dev/sd* with a 1 as the last character.
[03:06] <fission6> it is edbian is there anything else i should be aware, like closing things down etc.
[03:06] <fission6> and do i risk more memory usage by upgrading
[03:07] <ChogyDan> ledjo: can I see your dmesg from when you plug in the device?
[03:07] <edbian> fission6: I don't remember the exact benchmarks (nor do I know what number karmic is and what release comes after it).  I doubt you'll notice more memory consumption unless you have memorized how much ram you are typically using for different activites
[03:07] <stercor> L1nuxRules: I'm telling ledjo how I'd approach the problem.  There most certainly is a better way; and I would like to find it out.
[03:07] <ledjo> I know till yesterday it was sdc1
[03:07] <fission6> ok
[03:07] <fission6> wonder if its worth it edbian
[03:07] <sirdan> Hello. I'm trying to figure out why my wireless insn't working. I've tried to follow directions on the help boards, but I'm very new to this OS. In fact, I can't even seem to find out what wireless card I have. Suggestions?
[03:07] <edbian> fission6: You can run things while the upgrade runs.  You might notice some strangeness but a restart (or IRC help) can fix anything that drops up
[03:07] <szal> fission6: Karmic is dead, so it's definitely worth it
[03:08] <fission6> ok
[03:08] <edbian> fission6: It's worth it because it's fun and exciting.  Also, karmic will eventually die and no longer be supported.
[03:08] <fission6> let me give it a go
[03:08] <stercor> L1nuxRules: I would look for the /dev/sd*1 file and mount -t ntfs /dev/sd*1 /somedirectory
[03:08] <L1nuxRules> stercor wasnt having a go or anything was just trying to fil you in on the situation as I thought you hasd just joined
[03:08] <Scribbled2x> Can someone explain why I get this error and cannot install perl properly:  I know it is basic, but cannot find a solution
[03:08] <Scribbled2x> perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.1-17ubuntu4.1) but 5.12.4-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
[03:08] <edbian> fission6: or it's dead now!  which means do-release-upgrade won't work I think
[03:08] <dr_willis> !eol
[03:08] <ledjo> it says: [ 1724.528041] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
[03:08] <szal> edbian: don't see why it wouldn't, as Lucid is still alive & kicking
[03:09] <L1nuxRules> stercor ye which would produce an error regarding the filesystem if it was /ext4 for example
[03:09] <edbian> szal: Is lucid what you go to?  IDK know the names anymore
[03:09] <szal> stercor: how about you finish your nVidia driver installation? ;)
[03:09] <L1nuxRules> stercor no error messages are produced
[03:09] <szal> edbian: if I read correctly, fission6 has Karmic (9.10) and wants to upgrade to Lucid (10.04)
[03:10] <fission6> i kicked off do-release-upgrade
[03:10] <fission6> its doing its thing
[03:10] <edbian> szal: he definitely has karmic
[03:10] <fission6> is there anything i should do post upgrade?
[03:10] <edbian> This conversation is moot
[03:10] <fission6> run anything else
[03:10] <ChogyDan> ledjo: that's it?    well, regardless, here is another stab in the dark idea: sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd
[03:10] <edbian> fission6: explore! :D  (restart too, but I think it makes you do that)
[03:10] <fission6> hmm ok, cool.
[03:10] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: try: apt-cache policy perl-base
[03:11] <edbian> fission6: You like Ubuntu?  You have a very old version.
[03:11] <stercor> szal: I've installed nvidia-current; it couldn't find the other package, but nvidia-current pulled in some packages that seem to be appropriate.
[03:11] <fission6> edbian, what am i missing? probably not much
[03:11] <stercor> szal: I guess it's reboot time...
[03:11] <szal> stercor: what other pkg?  nvidia-xconfig is not a pkg, it's a command that comes w/ the nVidia driver
[03:12] <Scribbled2x> ChogyDan it produced more stuff I have never seen before - I am new to apt-get so I am kinda retarded
[03:12] <L1nuxRules> stercor sudo service gm restart then init 5 when you login from the bash login
[03:12] <edbian> fission6: Ubuntu changes a great deal from release to release.  You'll see default apps change, features added everywhere, old bugs fixed and replaced by new bugs.
[03:12] <cpruitt> Just starting with first try at an Ubuntu server and kind of in the deep end.  I'm troubleshooting intermittent system crashes/lockups and am a little stuck with troubleshooting.  I'm trying to verify that we're using the right drivers & such for our hardware raid.  I'm looking at things like this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/amr.4.html but don't know how to tell if this is already installed or not.  Not to ask a dumb
[03:12] <L1nuxRules> *gdm
[03:12] <cpruitt> question but... umm.... can anyone help out the new guy??? :-)
[03:12] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: you are welcome to pastebin it, and I can look
[03:12] <edbian> fission6: In Ubuntu 11.04 there is an entirely new interface.  That's about as big a change as one could make!
[03:12] <stercor> szal: Oh, I misunderstood.  I'll do the nvidia-xconfig.  Thanks for the heads up.
[03:12] <Scribbled2x> what is pastebin - yet another thing that has changed since I have done this
[03:13] <fission6> edbian, true but i am using lxde cause i have 1 gig of ram
[03:13] <ChogyDan> !paste | Scribbled2x
[03:13] <ledjo> chogy dan: FATAL: Module ehci_hcd is builtin
[03:13] <Scribbled2x> !paste
[03:13] <edbian> fission6: I have 1Gb of ram and I run gnome (or I could run KDE)
[03:13] <Gryllida> cpruitt, "apt-cache show packagename"
[03:13] <edbian> fission6: Really, 1Gb is plenty
[03:13] <dr_willis> ive ran ubuntu on 1gb
[03:13] <edbian> 512Mb is neough!
[03:13] <Scribbled2x> !paste|Scribbled2x
[03:13] <cpruitt> Gryllida: Thanks, I'll give that a shot
[03:13] <fission6> well chrome and playing music seems to eat up my memory and get glitchy - at least in karmic
[03:13] <fission6> maybe there were some leaks and 10.4 will run better
[03:14] <stercor> szal: the xorg.conf looks _MUCH_ better than the 2-line one I had before.
[03:14] <edbian> fission6: perhaps, 10.04 is a LTS so it is more stable
[03:14] <Scribbled2x> Chogy working through that now - thank you - let me see if I can get it up there
[03:14] <L1nuxRules> a gnome install can use around 700mb of ram without tweaking so if your just browsing the web that would be fine with 1gb
[03:14] <cpruitt> Are raid drivers installed just like any other package?  Seems like they should be all complicated & linuxy...
[03:14] <edbian> fission6: Also, it is actually supported
[03:14] <dr_willis> lubuntu has seeen a lot of improvements
[03:14] <L1nuxRules> Ive had to work on xp machines with less!
[03:14] <fission6> what do you mean by suported
[03:14] <dr_willis> !lubuntu
[03:14] <edbian> fission6: updates are being written
[03:14] <pat201> i cant get WINE to run, any tips?
[03:15]  * szal finds 2 GB barely enough to run one of the 'fat' DEs on
[03:15] <stercor> szal: reboot time. BRB.
[03:15] <stercor> ledjo: I haven't forgotten you.
[03:15] <fission6> eh i doubt chrome, my 8 terminal windows, totem, and irc client will run under gnome smoothly - lxde has been great for low memory
[03:15] <szal> pat201: you don't run Wine, you run (Windows) applications w/ Wine
[03:15] <Scribbled2x> Chogy-Dan I have it in paste bin, but what do I do with it - how do I get it to you
[03:16] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: post the web address into the chat
[03:16] <Scribbled2x> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638675/
[03:16] <dr_willis> fission6: =my netbook could do that fine with 1gb ram
[03:16] <Scribbled2x> ok
[03:16] <Scribbled2x> I see now
[03:16] <cpruitt> Gryllida: apt is telling me it's not installed. Any tips on tracking down what driver is being used?  I tried using dconf to see if I could glean any insight and about had a stroke from the volume of info.
[03:16] <gohdan> pat201: #winehq
[03:16] <ledjo> ehci_hcd is for sure not the /dev name...
[03:16] <fission6> dr_willis, im glad thats the case for you - again maybe under 10.4 i can do it too we'll see
[03:16] <Scribbled2x> I built a live CD from scratch but I am having some problems installing packages - something to do with dependencies and all...
[03:16] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: how did you install perl-base?
[03:16] <Scribbled2x> apt-get
[03:17] <ledjo> its just wrong
[03:17] <ChogyDan> ledjo: no, that is the driver
[03:17] <fission6> hahahaha "34 packages are going to be removed. 222 new packages are going to be
[03:17] <fission6> installed. 1592 packages are going to be upgraded.
[03:17] <fission6> "
[03:17] <Scribbled2x> apt-get install perl-base
[03:17] <Gryllida> cpruitt, what is 'it? If it's not installed, why not just install it?
[03:17] <ledjo> only 1st time worked automount
[03:17] <Scribbled2x> I did it wrong Itake it?
[03:17] <dr_willis> lxde-lubuntu in 11.04 is very nicely done
[03:17] <ledjo> i did amont
[03:17] <ledjo> but obviously it doesnt work
[03:17] <L1nuxRules> regarding the usage of X Im running gnome on mine and Im using 497gb
[03:17] <L1nuxRules> *mb
[03:18] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: somehow, you have the oneiric version of perl-base installed
[03:18] <cpruitt> Gryllida: It's the driver for our hardware raid.  I want to be careful because if I hose our raid then the box is dead in the water and wont be able to access the HDDs
[03:18] <cpruitt> I'm reluctant to just arbitrarily start changing raid controller drivers
[03:18] <Scribbled2x> it should be - that was the goal - but now im thinking I missed something in my planning so to speak
[03:18] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: maybe it is from the livecd you made?
[03:18] <Scribbled2x> :(
[03:19] <Scribbled2x> it is - that is a chroot environtment
[03:19] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: are you trying to run natty or oneric?
[03:19] <Gryllida> cpruitt, drivers are preinstalled in linux and usually work out of the box; if it's otherwise, you would need to give a short description of what you're doing; please ask the channel rather than me because I'm not particularly knowledgeable in that.
[03:19] <Scribbled2x> oneric
[03:19] <ledjo> till yesterday I had to use sudo mount -t; -r -v every time I connect the dev but since today its not even listed
[03:19] <fission6> so why would i upgrade to lucid and not 11.04
[03:19] <cpruitt> Gryllida: No problem.  Thanks for the reply none the less.
[03:19] <Scribbled2x> that is where I am getting messed up - i keep seeing natty wharhal crap everywhere
[03:20] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: well, you sources are natty, that is the problem
[03:20] <L1nuxRules> cpruitt Id take your questions to a more advanced Linux channel if I was you
[03:20] <L1nuxRules> in fact mail Linus T :)
[03:21] <Scribbled2x> Well that is why we have rm  for - so we can start over and reread what we apparently missed the first time
[03:21] <Scribbled2x> ?
[03:21] <Scribbled2x> :)
[03:21] <cpruitt> L1nuxRules: Not a bad idea.  Any channel you'd recommend?  I just ended up here cause it's the distro we're using.  Is there a more generic Linux channel?
[03:21] <ledjo> mounting usbs and sambashare are 2 things I hate in this ubuntu...
[03:21] <ledjo> :)
[03:22] <dr_willis> its the same as earlier releases ledjo  ;)
[03:22] <Scribbled2x> ChogyDan these versions are somewhat difficult to keep track of, mainly because I just picked this back up after a 10 year break in using it
[03:22] <Gryllida> cpruitt, you didn't include much details in your question; I still don't see what you're after and why and what doesn't work; if you just ask here with more information, it may work.
[03:22] <L1nuxRules> cpruitt no I dont sorry, I only use the distro based chans good luck with the probs though
[03:23] <Scribbled2x> But thanks - I appreciate the help - I will re read everything and try to figure out what the heck I am doing wrong
[03:23] <ChogyDan> cpruitt: you can look at what drivers are in use with sudo lshw
[03:23] <ChogyDan> Scribbled2x: I don't know about livecd creation
[03:23] <kwtm2> ledjo: Have you found a way around the usb mounting?  It used to be beautiful on my Kubuntu box until I installed Evolution, and then apparently somehow Gnome had to get involved every time I plugged in a usb mount or SD card --not sure what Evolution has to do with mounting USB.
[03:23] <ledjo> I meant in this ubuntu distro, i used fedora and debian and didnt have these problems
[03:23] <cpruitt> Gryllida: Sorry I thought I'd posted a description in my first inquiry but I'm happy to rephrase
[03:24] <Scribbled2x> ChogyDan - I did it 10 years ago but in a lot of ways it was easier and in many ways it seems to have been harder.  Overall, if I can get through this crap this will obviously be the better way to do it.
[03:24] <ledjo> which I dont understand theyre all debian :)
[03:24] <zeppelin101> i got a question about curl.. how is it possible that if 'curl www.somesite-a.com' produces output, I can easily pipe it to a file (> a.txt), but somesite-b, which also produces output (in terminal), upon output redirection, generates a 0 byte output file?
[03:25] <rypervenche> Debian <3
[03:25] <cpruitt> I'm setting up my first Linux box as a server.  I'm troubleshooting the box because it intermittently crashes without any real indication of why in the logs I've known enough to check.  Grasping at straws we're trying to at least verify that all of our hardware is fully supported and that nothing needs to be patched.
[03:25] <szal> ledjo: Fedora is Debian? :o
[03:25] <dr_willis> ledjo: fedora is not debian
[03:25] <ledjo> ok
[03:25] <kwtm2> ledjo: Ubuntu is special. They like to change things around to say, "Hi!  I'm Ubuntu!" --even when Kubuntu is working fine. Very strange. :P
[03:25] <kwtm2> Anyway, good luck ledjo.  Gotta run.
[03:25] <ledjo> but tis not SO other than deb
[03:26] <cpruitt> We're using a hardware (not software) raid and I'm currently trying to verify that there's nothing wrong with the hardware we have and the software that's making the OS aware of it.
[03:26] <dr_willis> i   normally have kde and gnome both on my ubuntu boxs and rary have issues with the automounter
[03:26] <cpruitt> ChogyDan: Thank you for the tip.  I'll give that a shot
[03:26] <tzhuang> Hello guys. Anyone famliar with irssi want to tell me what the command to leave it is? quit and exit don't seem to work
[03:26] <tzhuang> quit
[03:27] <dr_willis> its /quit
[03:27] <szal> lol
[03:27] <dr_willis> time to check the irssi   homepage. ;0
[03:27] <xdude_> I have a satellite t115D-S1125 that works in Ubuntu Classic (no effects) but not ubuntu or ubuntu  classic, did dependency build, apt-get install, updates, upgrades, am lost any ideas
[03:28] <tzhuang> Never mind I'm a total retard.
[03:28] <xdude_> me too
[03:28] <dr_willis> xdude_:  video chipset is?
[03:28] <szal> xdude_: "doesn't work" is NOT an error description..
[03:29] <robin0800> xdude_: in classic try alt+f2 metacity --replace
[03:29] <cpruitt> This is a good example of where I get lost.  lshw tells me my raid driver is 'megaraid' but reading some info (http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata#intel-icp) it seems like I should be using 'megaraid2'.  Not sure if this is, in fact, a different driver or not, or if the info I'm reading is even valid.
[03:29] <xdude_> looking
[03:30] <teddyroosebelt> quite a few upgrades shelled out today o.0
[03:30] <alexleon> my printer works with usb but i cant set up the wifi :(
[03:30] <ledjo> now I have to pray to god that samba too wont let me down to send my music to windows desktop pc and then connect psp to windows desktop pc and then send files to psp which is very convenient..
[03:31] <xdude_> ATI Technologies Inc Rs780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
[03:31] <dr_willis> ledjo:  you can use winscp instead of samba shares if youwant somthing easier to get going
[03:31]  * szal runs a Samba server on this box (Natty) sharing his media files to Windows XP
[03:32] <szal> dr_willis: I don't think that'll work for instant access; you sure don't want to copy everything over if you just want to play media ;)
[03:32] <fission6> dr_willis, so why shoul di upgradet o lucid rather than 11.04 or whatever the latest is
[03:33] <ledjo> in winscp is ubuntu not visible on 7
[03:33] <dr_willis> He said somthing about copying to a    psp
[03:33] <ledjo> I said
[03:33] <szal> fission6: because direct upgrade from Karmic to Natty is not supported
[03:34] <dr_willis> fission6: i never upgrade i do clean installs. Lubutu has been getting better in every new release
[03:34] <xdude_> metacity --replace result in  --> Window manage error: Unable to open X display
[03:34] <szal> fission6: if you want Natty, save your home directory and other configuration files you might need & reinstall
[03:34]  * KM0201 agrees w/ dr_willis 
[03:34] <fission6> hmm ok
[03:35] <dr_willis> ledjo:  use winscp to connect to ssh server on linux. Install ssh of course first.
[03:35] <hhbuitrago> if you want to have access to your music form everywhere in your network use some of the streaming and sharing protocols supported by your player device
[03:35] <fission6> dr_willis, so if i am upgrading to lucid but running lxde how would i just run lubuntu for a tighter integration
[03:36] <robin0800> xdude_: sudo service gdm start
[03:36] <ledjo> no Im installing fedora xfce spin und auf wiedersehen!
[03:36] <dr_willis> To play files.      Not just copy. You would waant a samba share setup
[03:36] <xdude_> -> start: Job is already running: gdm
[03:36] <fission6> dr_willis, any ideas?
[03:37] <dr_willis> fission6:  that made no sence to me. Lxde is ubuntu+lxde
[03:37] <robin0800> xdude_: startx
[03:37] <dr_willis> Lubuntu = ubuntu+lxde
[03:38] <fission6> oh so i am already doing it then? just buy using lxde and having ubuntu, i thought it was a flavor of ubuntu like a "forked" distro
[03:38] <KM0201> fission6: or just go to http://www.lubuntu.net and download/install it
[03:38] <KM0201> fission6: it is.
[03:38] <dr_willis> !lubuntu
[03:39] <fission6> right, so i have ubuntu running and lxde but i set it up independently - its not "lubuntu" in the formal sense, does that make any sense?
[03:39] <KM0201> fission6: it'll be a "Official" Ubuntu release for 11.10, instead of a community release.
[03:39] <xdude_> a few lines  ...   XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 7 requests (7 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[03:39] <dr_willis> I always install all 3 of the de's . Gnome, kde, lxde
[03:40] <golagoda> Openbox > all ;)
[03:40] <fission6> ok
[03:41] <xdude_> I can not seem to stop the gdm...   error says to use stop gdm  wouldn't I have to stop this process before using startx?
[03:41] <ledjo> and xfce?
[03:41] <robin0800> xdude_: sudo service gdm stop
[03:41] <dr_willis> sudo service gdm  stop
[03:41] <glaksmono> guys, when you create a shell script, how do you wrap the given command parameter with another one?
[03:41] <glaksmono> so i want it such that i can run this shell script with parameter

[03:42] <dr_willis> !abs
[03:42] <stercor> szal: What was that nvidia command again?

[03:44] <ugly_duck> well, apprently i dont have the hardware to run kbuntu desktop
[03:46] <ayaka> I want to get some video linear editing, please tell me some\
[03:47] <xdude_> was able to get out of startx (ctrl-c)  did a sudo service gdm start, log in screen came up  select was defaulted at ubuntu,   back to original problem,  no unity  just backgroun mouse and no alt - f2
[03:48] <ugly_duck> unity, thats the thing it complained about
[03:48] <ugly_duck> said i didn't have the hardware to run it
[03:48] <ugly_duck> when i logged in, came up with a terminal window and that was it
[03:49] <xdude_> I have unity working great on my desktops,  I actually like the touch and the feel, but who am I but a pawn on this internet
[03:49] <cpruitt> Can anyone more experienced let me know if this (http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/APIC) is still valid information?  I've seen a VERY similar problem to the one I have but the discussion is from 2006 and is Ubuntu 6.06.1 whereas I'm running 10.04.2
[03:50] <xdude_> This like Satellite, is being a bit difficult though
[03:50] <xdude_> bye all

[04:23] <hoverbear> Hey all, I've got a fresh ubuntu-server installation on this laptop (Don't ask) and I need some help getting my intel wireless card working. It has an in-kernel driver.
[04:23] <bikcmp> hi all
[04:23] <bikcmp> i have a o2 midi keyboard
[04:23] <bikcmp> and i want some keyboard software for ubuntu.
[04:23] <bikcmp> ideas?
[04:23] <bikcmp> i have no idea if it needs a driver or not.
[04:23] <bikcmp> haha
[04:24] <Capso> where can I get pxelinux.0 ?
[04:24] <Capso> does it come with ubuntu cd?
[04:24] <Gryllida> bikcmp, did you try it?
[04:24] <bikcmp> Gryllida: what good is it if i don't have an application to use it with?
[04:24] <ttuttle> hey guys, I just finished installing 11.04, and apparently managed to screw up the lvm-on-dm-crypt setup, because it dumps me into an initramfs shell and I have to cryptsetup and vgchange -a y manually
[04:24] <ttuttle> short of reinstalling, how the heck do I fix this?
[04:24] <Gryllida> bikcmp, what is its full name, `o2 mini`, right?
[04:24] <bikcmp> one min.
[04:25] <tntc> Is there a replacement for the Windows Domain within ubuntu? Handling user logins to a domain, rather than a local account on a machine, plus some managment stuff?

[04:25] <GSF1200S> Whats the best way to troubleshoot a desktop taking almost 30 seconds to logout to gdm?
[04:26] <GSF1200S> everything else is fine, but something must be hanging
[04:26] <hoverbear> Hey all, I've got a fresh ubuntu-server installation on this laptop (Don't ask) and I need some help getting my intel wireless card working. It has an in-kernel driver intel ultimate-n 3000.
[04:26] <ttuttle> GSF1200S: ssh in, run top, see what's hanging?
[04:26] <ttuttle> hoverbear: that "should" work with the stock iwlagn driver.
[04:26] <Datz> Hi, is there no ServerLimit directive in ubuntu's apache2 configs?
[04:26] <hoverbear> ttuttle: I can't ping google.com unfortunately.
[04:27] <ttuttle> hoverbear: what does iwconfig say?
[04:27] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Ah, hold on, been out of linux a fair spell.... iwconfig says it's there, says it's wireless, looks like I just don't have it configured.
[04:27] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Is there a command line config tool for wireless on ubuntu server, or am I stuck manual?
[04:28] <GSF1200S> ttuttle: how will I know whats hanging? the process wouldnt appear any different than normal running processes
[04:28] <bikcmp> Gryllida: luck?
[04:28] <ZykoticK9> hoverbear, wicd has some sort of cli or ncurse option
[04:28] <latagore> I can't mount my windows partition, though the partition is not mounted and the directory is not busy
[04:29] <hoverbear> ZykoticK9: Sadly, wicd is not installed by default and I have no repo access
[04:29] <eden2> ???>?>?>?>?>?>>>>
[04:29] <ttuttle> hoverbear: do you have wpa_supplicant?
[04:29] <latagore> GSF1200S: If you use ps or another program, you can filter for all of your processes
[04:29] <ZykoticK9> hoverbear, manual it is then ;)  hope you don't use wpa, or already have wpa supplicant installed.  Good luck.
[04:29] <Datz> Hi, is there no ServerLimit directive in ubuntu's apache2 configs?
[04:29] <hoverbear> ttuttle: That I do have. I couldn't remember the name... Thanks I'll take a look
[04:30] <ttuttle> hoverbear: sure
[04:30] <ttuttle> hoverbear: there should be a config file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf; you should be able to configure it in there and get wpa_supplicant to connect for you
[04:30] <latagore> GSF1200S: If you do that, then near the very end, you should be able to figure out what is the last process to terminate
[04:32] <GSF1200S> latagore: sounds good- anyway to have ps loop?
[04:32] <GSF1200S> i guess I could use htop
[04:32] <Gryllida> bikcmp, there are resources on it working, and there are resources on it not working. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2231491&postcount=3 and an attempt to make it work, come here with errors, etc. would most likely get it running if it doesn't do that out of the box.
[04:32] <latagore> GSF1200S: You could also change top settings, but that was what I had in mind
[04:32] <ttuttle> wow
[04:32] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Oh god I totally forget how to use this
[04:33] <ttuttle> this is thoroughly broken
[04:33] <ttuttle> hoverbear: wpa_supplicant?
[04:33] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Yeah haha
[04:33] <ttuttle> hoverbear: is your network WPA?
[04:33] <hoverbear> ttuttle: wpa2 aes
[04:34] <ghufran> Hi, is there a way to stop showing " Laptop 15" " and " Acer 19" " from the top of both the laptop and monitor screens whenever i connect a monitor ?
[04:34] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Ah yay, found a guide. :)
[04:34] <ttuttle> okay, you want something like "network { ssid="foo" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="passphrase" }
[04:34] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Right
[04:34] <ttuttle> hoverbear: on different lines, of course
[04:35] <ttuttle> okay
[04:35] <ttuttle> I think the last thing I do with this ubuntu install
[04:35] <ttuttle> is going to be unetbootin-ing a different distro >.<
[04:35] <ttuttle> unless anyone has any ideas on how to fix it without reinstalling?
[04:36] <ttuttle> I don't like grub error -> graphical boot -> "(initramfs) ".
[04:36] <pvh_sa> hey there, is there a commandline tool that does what font viewer's 'install font' does? i have a bunch (dozens) of fonts and i don't want to have to click-install all of them. thanks
[04:36] <dr_willis> ghufran: i think thats a bug in the monitors tool. I recall someone else having to   'kill' a process to make them go away. Perhaps xkill can do it
[04:36] <ttuttle> that gives me 0 debugging information.
[04:36] <ghufran> dr_willis, okay thanks.
[04:37] <ghufran> let me check out xkill
[04:37] <DriversBroken> Hello anyone here?
[04:37] <DriversBroken> I'm back with yet another dead drive
[04:37] <hoverbear> ttuttle: I'm seeing in this guide I should have a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, but it's not there be default, has it been moved orneed it be manually created?
[04:37] <GSF1200S> latagore: that may not help though- the desktop stays active and responsive for 30 seconds, and THEN everything shuts down- those processes would still be running
[04:37] <dr_willis> ttuttle:  tried the options 'nomodeset noquiet nosplash' to see messages.
[04:37] <DriversBroken> This is annoying... except this time, the error seems pretty obvious
[04:37] <ttuttle> dr_willis: can't; grub never gives me a menu
[04:38] <DriversBroken> Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
[04:38] <ttuttle> (I could edit the grub config, but I am rapidly not caring.)
[04:38] <dr_willis> ttuttle:  shift key shold show it
[04:38] <DriversBroken> What do I do about that?
[04:38] <DriversBroken> That's fdisk -l output, btw
[04:38] <GSF1200S> ive tried using other login managers (xdm, lightdm), but it does the same. Has to be something in the desktop
[04:38] <latagore> GSF1200S: Well you will know the processes that refuse to terminate and then you can sort through them
[04:38] <dr_willis> I always set grub to never hide
[04:39] <GSF1200S> latagore: is there a program which shows what has been sent sigterm but isnt terminating? Im assuming at gdm logout, sigterm is sent to all processes, then sigkill is sent to any that refuse to terminate
[04:40] <ttuttle> ...why does the version of unetbootin I just installed not offer me the version of ubuntu I installed it from?
[04:40] <latagore> GSF1200S: I'm sure you know more about Linux than I do; can't help you there
[04:41] <latagore> DriversBroken: That message doesn't mean the drive is broken
[04:41] <GSF1200S> haha, i doubt it. im giving it a shot though
[04:41] <DriversBroken> latagore:  Well then, my drive is broken, and that is not the cause of it...
[04:41] <tripelb> how do I find my version # of adobe flash? thanks
[04:41] <ThisAgain> sorry, is anyone having problems playing youtube flash videos?
[04:41] <ThisAgain> they don't seem to be loading for me
[04:42] <latagore> DriversBroken: Anything you can tell me about it? You can't mount it?
[04:42] <DriversBroken> latagore:  it's an ntfs disk, windows, booting causes bios to start again, mounting gives error code #2
[04:42] <iceroot> tripelb: easiest way is to right-click in a flash-video
[04:42] <DriversBroken> damn I hate these "error codes".  Much prefer the informative java exception style...

[04:44] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Resolved, thanks!

[04:46] <latagore> I can't mount my Windows partition, I need some help
[04:46] <DriversBroken> latagore... nice.  I've had 2 computers die within a week - and since I backed up the data to the now dead drives, which were my moms, she says that "A VIRUS MUST HAVE MAGICALLY ACTIVATE ITSELF FROM MY DRIVE"

[04:48] <ttuttle> latagore: check "mount" and see if it is?
[04:48] <latagore> ttuttle: It isn't
[04:48] <tntc> iceroot: I don't really need the windows support though. also, can it handle user managment across hosts?
[04:48] <tntc> iceroot: I don't need a direct AD replacement (as in, I don't need to support windows clients)
[04:48] <ttuttle> latagore: check dmesg | tail
[04:48] <iceroot> tntc: also have a look at http://www.univention.de/en/  its a replacement for a nt-domain with user-manangement

[04:54] <latagore> DriversBroken: Pick the right partition
[04:54] <latagore> DriversBroken: Not the hard drive
[04:54] <dr_willis> !downgrade
[04:54] <tripelb> bazhang, I'm trying to get the ubottu that tells you how to ask a question. Help me :)
[04:54] <latagore> DriversBroken: Or you have to provide options
[04:54] <bazhang> tripelb, !gq ?
[04:54] <DriversBroken> latagore:  Oh, I see what you mean.
[04:55] <latagore> DriversBroken: Try ntfsfix -h
[04:55] <tripelb> !gq | tripleb
[04:55] <tripelb> !ask | tripleb
[04:56] <vivekimsit> Hello Everyone :)
[04:56] <vivekimsit> Ok...i hv a problem..
[04:56] <latagore> !ask | vivekimsit
[04:57] <DriversBroken> Is there a way to force the terminal to add a line break after every command?  It's getting hard to follow...
[04:58] <dr_willis> DriversBroken: you could set the    bash prompt to do that befor it prints the prompt
[04:58] <vivekimsit> when i press alt+f2 a run window appears and we can type the command to run...but i want to come in the available application list so that i need not to type the command everytime to run it...is there any way?
[04:58] <latagore> vivekimsit: You might need to change the source for that, which isn't easy
[04:59] <vivekimsit> latagore:okk.u mean there is not any easier way?
[04:59] <latagore> I don't think so, I mainly use KDE, so I'm not too sure
[04:59] <dr_willis> Unity has a similer feature to thst i thought
[05:00] <dr_willis> Gnome do . Also works that way i belive
[05:00] <vivekimsit> latagore : but i can try...if u tell me..
[05:00] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Any suggestions for fixing "x: user not authorized to run the x server, aborting"?
[05:00] <ttuttle> hoverbear: check /etc/group for a group that sounds like it would let you run the X server?
[05:01] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Right, thanks. :)
[05:01] <DriversBroken> why is like nothing selectable in ubuntu -.-
[05:01]  * ttuttle kind of gasping for straws.
[05:01] <DriversBroken> gparted is telling me a "segmentation fault" when I try to read a partition
[05:01] <hoverbear> ttuttle: On another note, my integrated flashlight works
[05:01] <latagore> vivekimsit: You'd literally need to reprogram it and then compile it and substitute it with your existing program; it's probably not worth the effort
[05:01] <ttuttle> hoverbear: Thinkpad?
[05:01] <ttuttle> hoverbear: yeah, that doesn't require OS support, although you can toggle it with a file in /proc, IIRC.
[05:02] <dr_willis> Segfalt = bad crash ;(
[05:02] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Yeah :)
[05:02] <ttuttle> ooh, what model?
[05:02] <hoverbear> ttuttle: t420 with the optimus card
[05:03] <vivekimsit> latagore:okk :(
[05:03] <DriversBroken> dr_willis:  except nothing is crashed.  It seems
[05:04] <dr_willis> Gparted is crashing sounded le to me
[05:04] <hoverbear> ttuttle: Ah, it must be done in a virtual console, not ina  byobo session
[05:04] <dr_willis> Could be some weird disk partition layout confuseing ig
[05:05] <dr_willis> You may want to try a gparted liveecd
[05:05] <DriversBroken> dr_willis:  no, when I right click the infomation row on /dev/sda2 it says under an exclamation point that ntfsresize had a segmentation fault
[05:07] <dr_willis> so thsts the app thats crashing. Defrag and scandisk thst ntfs from windows and tri it agan is my suggestion
[05:07] <dr_willis> Win7 can resize ntfs very quickly also.
[05:08] <latagore> I can't mount my windows partition, now I don't know what file system is on it
[05:08] <DriversBroken> dr_willis:  the entire reason I'm on ubuntu is because win 7 will not boot
[05:09] <dr_willis> DriversBroken: you may have discovered why. Fs may be all buggered up
[05:09] <DriversBroken> and hp is nice enough to not provide an installation disk that would allow me to scandisk/checkdisk, and instead provides another partition hosting a tool that will allow me to reformat and reinstall windows only
[05:10] <ejo> If you have a program that you're about to run on a whole set of files, and the program's default output is to stdout, and it doesn't have a "save to save file" option... what's the shell lingo to direct its output back to each input file, when you run it on an entire directory?  Can that be a one-liner or does it end up needing to be a shell script with a loop?
[05:10] <DriversBroken> dr_willis:  Ok, a way to fix it would be nice.  ntfsfix merely just stops working, prints out another username@hostname-$ prompt
[05:10] <dr_willis> Ms has some rescue cds you can get. Ive seen them.
[05:10] <vivekimsit> okk..fellas !anyone with a good knowledge of scripting?
[05:11] <ejo> sorry, that should have read "save to same file" option
[05:11] <dr_willis> Ntfsfix just flsds the disk as ok. I dont think it actually fixs anything
[05:11] <latagore> DriversBroken: If you get yours fixed, let me know, I'm stuck too
[05:11] <DriversBroken> dr_willis:  That's nice.  and retarded.
[05:11] <DriversBroken> latagore:  kk, will do
[05:11] <dr_willis> vivekimsit:  ask a more detailed question.
[05:12] <DriversBroken> dr_willis:  see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-system-repair-disc.  They want you to go into windows 7... in order to fix w7.
[05:12] <DriversBroken> anyone got a working w7, can burn a disk, rip the iso off and send it to me?
[05:12] <NightLoneWolf> hows the ubuntu community doing??
[05:12] <silveringking> hi I have a doubt, Im kinda new to ubuntu I was playing an iso with acetone and kafeine and sometimes the iso blocks a little it passes frames
[05:13] <dr_willis> I did download some ms repair iso from ms  - totally legal to use - i thini i fiund it mentioned at the lifehackeer website
[05:13] <DriversBroken> nightlonewolf, this is the help channel, so everyone here is either helping or is having a ton of trouble :(
[05:13] <ejo> ... or just a teaspoon o'trouble
[05:13] <ejo> a wee bit
[05:13] <vivekimsit> dr_willis:ok...i am wrting a script in which asks for the password ! so, i want to supply password as a parameter in script so that it don't prompt for the password
[05:13] <NightLoneWolf> too bad theres not a general chat channel on here -.-'
[05:14] <vexati0n> DriversBroken, there are no FOSS utilities that can repair NTFS at that level.
[05:14] <vexati0n> you need BartPE or something like that
[05:14] <danileigh79> Does ubuntu support drag and drop for DVD-RAM burners, or is a program required?
[05:14] <DriversBroken> vexati0n:  I don't care about foss only tbh
[05:14] <dr_willis> vivekimsit:  a password in a script is a bad idea. But i recall 'expect' scripts used in that case
[05:15] <vexati0n> DriversBroken, i mean there are no free (as in anything) programs that run on Ubuntu that will fix your issue.
[05:15] <silveringking> humm can someone help me? I am trying to learn I heard about medibuntu plugins but those are highly old
[05:15] <quaisi> hi, when I try to save a document - gedit / libre office the dialog box takes about 3-4 seconds to start up.  I have a modern computer 4GB Ram etc.  Is this a compiz setting to change?
[05:15] <silveringking> I installed libxine1 all plugins and totem player too just in case ;)
[05:16] <vivekimsit> dr_willis: actually its a script on rsync so the password is a mandatory option....and pls can u tell me something more about 'expect'
[05:16] <alexleon> i seted up my printer by wifi my miself -.-
[05:16] <vexati0n> DriversBroken, if your NTFS is really that borked, you'll be lucky to fix it at all. try BartPE or Hirens. failing those, I would thank the lord that I had a good, recent backup of everything on my machine, reinstall, and go from there.
[05:17] <zelozelos> since i cant seem to 'pretty up
[05:17] <DriversBroken> vexati0n:  I have no backup.  This is my mom's disk :(
[05:17] <zelozelos> oops gru
[05:17] <zelozelos> wth
[05:17] <alexleon> zelozelos watch ur language
[05:18] <DriversBroken> vexat0n:  And she blames me for breaking it, because  I backed up my data onto hers.  And since our drives both failed within a week, it must be some virus in my data, according to her
[05:18] <zelozelos> oh..heh loose cord ..anyhow since i cant seem to pretty up grub for some reason id like to try out burg i attempted to install it but the same ol grub keeps loading what did i do wrong?
[05:18] <DriversBroken> vexati0n:  highly unlikely, right?  Much more likely that the heavy io workload just pushed a dying drive over the brink...
[05:19] <alexleon> u just need ctrl alt f1
[05:19] <vexati0n> DriversBroken - most likely is the drive simply got really sick and tired of being forced to run Windows all the damn time, and died on purpose just to inflict some misery back on you people.
[05:19] <Capso> what usb creator on Windows should I use if I want to install ubuntu from a USB?
[05:19] <Capso> will fedora's liveusb creator work?
[05:20] <DriversBroken> vexati0n:  Well, that can't be right, I was using natty live the days before it died to fix my disk :P
[05:20] <danileigh79> Capso: I used wubi
[05:20] <vexati0n> DriversBroken - but anyway, you can also find some hope in the PhotoRec/TestDisk - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
[05:20] <Capso> danileigh79: will unetbootin work too?
[05:20] <danileigh79> Capso: should... it gives you options for which distro you want
[05:21] <Capso> danileigh79: wubi says it'll install ubuntu within my current system?
[05:21] <vexati0n> DriversBroken - in that case I would say it is your fault for introducing linux to your mom's computer, and showing it what it COULD have been running all these years. no wonder it lost all will to live.
[05:21] <Capso> danileigh79: I just want to create a bootable usb
[05:21] <vexati0n> DriversBroken, it's like living until age 85, only then to discover sex.
[05:21] <danileigh79> Capso: it also gives you option to create live usb
[05:22] <DriversBroken> vexati0n:  She actually thinks that linux broke her comp, to be perfectly serious.
[05:23] <vexati0n> DriversBroken - i know she's serious about that. it isn't her fault, she has no idea how computers work. to her, it seems logical. we know better, but there'll be no convincing her of that. this is why you never say the word "Linux" to an inexperienced/non-technical user.
[05:23] <vexati0n> saying "Linux" to someone like that will always scare them, even if nothing bad happens.
[05:23] <mrdeb> no it wont
[05:23] <mrdeb> only if they are ignorant
[05:23] <one2enjoy> i'm a total newbie and need help installing as86 on Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) thx
[05:23] <latagore> DriversBroken: So does mine!
[05:23] <vexati0n> mrdeb, most users are, in fact, ignorant.
[05:23] <DriversBroken> vexati0n:  And what is worse is that she programs c for a living and was angry at me because she couldn't remote desktop in to her vim prompt.
[05:24] <mrdeb> yes they are
[05:24] <mrdeb> so you need to help them overcome it
[05:24] <poseidon> So I have a long script on my local computer.  It's in bash.  I want to be able to ssh into a server, run the script, then go into a terminal (while being able to see that info).  So far all I've been able to do is something along the lines of ssh host command && bash.
[05:24] <DriversBroken> latagore:  the segfault thing?
[05:24] <poseidon> Any ideas
[05:24] <danileigh79> Capso: sorry gimme a minute, been awhile, i hought i mafe liveusb wih wubi, lemme find what i actually used
[05:24] <latagore> mrdeb: Or make a cleaner user interface for the lesser computer users
[05:24] <latagore> DriversBroken: The mom thing :D
[05:25] <vexati0n> mrdeb, i'm all for overcoming that ignorance, but the FOSS community should face the fact that they have lost the battle over the word Linux. none of the successfull linux-based products out there say "Linux" anywhere but in very tiny print at the back of a technical manual nobody will ever read.
[05:25] <DriversBroken> latagore:  oh lol
[05:25] <DriversBroken> vexati0n:  it's partly warranted, because this thing where linux = terminal still exists.
[05:25] <danileigh79> Capso: I used Universal-USB-Installer.exe from pendrivelinux.com
[05:26] <DriversBroken> when we have a disk error, we dont' say install this or that.  We say "Open up the terminal and go sudo fdisk -l!"
[05:26] <vexati0n> DriversBroken, Linux is a great OS, but the FUD has overpowered the community's ability to describe it favorably.
[05:26] <DriversBroken> And when we want to clone something, we go dd as;dlkfj;asdlkjfa;skdjf;asfasl;dkfj;sdl options before that
[05:26] <vexati0n> yeah and then we wait four hours
[05:26] <vexati0n> when Ghost can do it in fifteen minutes
[05:27] <vexati0n> but that's besides the point
[05:27] <DriversBroken> And I still haven't figured out why chown was failing in virtualbox without leaving any error messages
[05:27] <DriversBroken> And.... unity crashed ubuntu thrice.  Ok, we should stop ranting now :P
[05:27] <KM0201> vexati0n: what are you crying about?
[05:28] <danileigh79> Capso: you still there?
[05:28] <KM0201> DriversBroken: if you're running ubuntu 11.4 in vbox.. 3D sucks in Vbox, and thats probably why it crashed
[05:28] <vexati0n> KM0201, i'm not crying i was just expounding on my deep philosophical beliefs that Linux is at a popular disadvantage because of the intensity and length of the FUD pushed against it.
[05:28] <KM0201> DriversBroken: unfortunately 11.04 does not default to a 2D desktop all the time.
[05:28] <DriversBroken> KM0201:  no, crashed a live disk.  chown failing was 10.10
[05:29] <KM0201> oh ok
[05:29] <DriversBroken> actually no, crashed the external hdd installation I'm using right now
[05:29] <vexati0n> DriversBroken, likely, you tried to do some kind of advanced triple somersault maneuver with GParted and it killed her partition table.
[05:30] <DriversBroken> vexati0n:  lol wut, it was broken before I opened gparted
[05:30] <DriversBroken> and all I clicked was view information
[05:30] <danileigh79> Anybody know of an OSX emulator that can be ran from Linux without using PearPC or suck through Wine?
[05:30] <danileigh79> *suck
[05:30] <vexati0n> DriversBroken, you never know what is going to make NTFS keel over.
[05:30] <danileigh79> *such
[05:31] <vexati0n> danielete_, yes: you can get it here http://www.apple.com
[05:31] <vexati0n> danileigh79, **
[05:31] <maalac> danileigh79: you can also use the snow leopard version in Debian
[05:31] <maalac> it works perferctly on Virtualbox
[05:32] <danileigh79> maalac: do you have source for the .deb?
[05:32] <maalac> it's an iso file ..hold on..let me give you the link
[05:34] <danileigh79> maalac: do you know if said emu will be able to access network? PearPC in WinXP doesn't like to connect via wireless
[05:34] <DriversBroken> ok so general consensus is that my partition is fubared
[05:34] <DriversBroken> ?
[05:35] <vexati0n> if i am the only one voting, then that's your candidate.
[05:35] <DriversBroken> heh ok... why was that question mark on a different line.  I used another line by accident.  Don't kill me!
[05:36] <maalac> danileigh79: yes. user virtualbox. how much memory do you have ?
[05:37] <Alexander> can you watch porn in ubuntu w/o your parents knowing
[05:37] <mrdeb> wow
[05:37] <danileigh79> maalac: 512mb shared on 2003 dell laptop 80 gb partitioned for winxp (70gb) and ubunti 10.4 (10gb)
[05:37] <bazhang> Alexander, thats not an appropriate question
[05:37] <Alexander> sorry
[05:38] <Alexander> i shuld read the rules
[05:38] <Alexander> i will be back later after i read the rules
[05:40] <maalac> danileigh79:http://www.mechodownload.com/forum/macintosh-programs/342778-iatkos-s3-v2-hackintosh-snow-leopard-10-6-7-a-Full-Free-Downloads-Keygen-Crack-Serial-Activator-Free-Hosts.html
[05:40] <maalac> danileigh79:i'm not so sure if this will work for you. but you can try
[05:42] <danileigh79> maalac: thanks, bookmarked, will look into after repart ubuntu to hve more room
[05:42] <DriversBroken> hey latagore
[05:42] <DriversBroken> check this out, it mentions busy drives http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1773902&highlight=cannot+mount+error+code+2
[05:46] <DriversBroken> oh for pete's sake... how do I make a folder in nautilus
[05:48] <DriversBroken> nvm, create folder from right-click menu.  Second question:  why is it grayed out?
[05:48] <latagore> DriversBroken: Maybe you don't own the folder
[05:48] <latagore> DriversBroken: You need to run it with sudo if you don't have permissions
[05:49] <westz> i just had what i think would be a glorious idea... could i use freenode's nickserv to login to a blog? i'm designing a tech blog, and i thought it would be helpful if users could use their freenode ID's to login to the site and leave comments
[05:50] <DriversBroken> agh of course /media is owned by root.  And windows would ask for permission instead of going "no!  He is not allowed to press zat button!  I will not allow him to press zat button."
[05:51] <DriversBroken> Going to try booting windows ago... bye.
[05:51] <bazhang> westz, ask in #freenode
[05:51] <tsimpson> you usually don't need to ever create a "folder" in /media
[05:52] <latagore> DriversBroken: Enjoy
[05:52] <westz> bazhang, already did, it's pretty dead right now, i figure maybe someone in here might have some input
[05:52] <westz> tsimpson, unless you're configuring your own mount points
[05:52] <bazhang> westz, then #ubuntu-offtopic , its not an ubuntu support issue
[05:53] <tsimpson> westz: then you would likely not use /media, which is specifically for removable devices
[05:53] <d_atharva_> hi...just started kdenlive.but at the startup of it gives me message "File '/home/d_atharva/%i' is not readable"...Any idea abt how to fix it ?
[05:54] <acicula> d_atharva_: find the file in the filebrowser and enable read permissions?
[05:55] <wells5878> anyone in here know anything about ubuntu + apache?
[05:55] <acicula> wells5878: yes, but you should just ask your question really
[05:56] <Gryllida> wells5878, please describe your issue.
[05:56] <wells5878> i'm using php as a cgi module on an apache server, having issues with mod_rewrite only working on basic things
[05:57] <wells5878> essentially not working at all -- but it IS running and .htaccess is being read
[05:57] <wells5878> all rewrites give me error 500
[05:57] <d_atharva_> acicula : Not working dude..
[05:57] <wells5878> bare directories without an index also give 500 instead of the typical 'forbidden'
[05:58] <zamba> i need help setting up a nvidia driver for VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)
[05:58] <zamba> additional drivers says the driver is not activated
[05:58] <zamba> and when i try to activate it, nothing happens
[05:58] <acicula> wells5878: are you sure the rewrite rules are correct?
[05:58] <acicula> and/or what corresponding log errors do you see
[05:58] <wells5878> they work on a local WAMP install and on another webserver. no log errors even when i turn logging on at level 9
[05:59] <wells5878> rewrite.log is empty -- 0b
[05:59] <acicula> d_atharva_: eh does logging into the normal ubuntu work?
[05:59] <wells5878> apache error.log shows nothing relevant
[06:00] <acicula> are youm sure mod_rewrite is loaded? think apache has a something_ctl binary that lets you list currently loaded modules?
[06:01] <wells5878> it doesn't show as running when i do apache2ctl -l -- but if i try to enable it or define in my httpd.conf it says it's already running
[06:01] <d_atharva_> acicula : i didnt get your question..
[06:02] <acicula> d_atharva_: my question is can you log into ubuntu, ie do you get the error when you login or is it just the program that gives you an error
[06:03] <d_atharva_> acicula : No..just the program...
[06:03] <acicula> wells5878: idk, but this has a nice 4 step checklist http://www.webune.com/forums/how-to-fix-mod-rewrite-500-internal-server-error-on-htaccess-file-apache-t718.html
[06:03] <maquis> hi all. i am running maverick, and just tried installing the nvidia driver using "additional drivers" (under administration). After that, the computer would start up into a non-gui purple "Ubuntu" screen, then go to an all-purple screen and hang there. I ssh'd in and uninstalled nvidia-current and changed my xorg.conf to an old one (I think it was the automatic backup from "additional drivers"), and now it starts to a gui purple screen th
[06:03] <acicula> d_atharva_: then you just have some weird filepermissions
[06:04] <d_atharva_> acicula : so what's the solution ?
[06:04] <acicula> d_atharva_: try to change the fileproperties of the file it complains about, or try moving it to anothre location altogether and see if it will start then
[06:04] <wells5878> @acicula tried that earlier, no dice
[06:04] <acicula> d_atharva_: find the file in your filebrowser, right click it, select properties, make sure that read is toggled for your user. if its a directory that the program complains about you will need to to toggle it as execute
[06:05] <acicula> maquis: you can reset i think by purging the nvidia drivers and removing the xorg.conf altogether
[06:06] <maquis> acicula: mind refreshing my mind on how to find all the nvidia drivers?  should i just remove everything aptitude sees installed that has nvidia in the name?
[06:06] <acicula> though the startup image you see at boot is handled a little differently
[06:06] <acicula> maquis: eh ill have a google but i think apt-get purge nvidia-* should do it
[06:07] <maquis> acicula: i'll do that. thanks!
[06:08] <maquis> everything in that looks reasonable. thanks a ton for the help! :)
[06:08] <d_atharva_> acicula : did everything as you told..but still not working.
[06:08] <acicula> d_atharva_: then i dont know why your program will not work, sorry :/
[06:08] <Cydd> anyone here live in the GTA?
[06:09] <d_atharva_> acicula : hmm..ok
[06:09] <acicula> wells5878: did you check if ctl lists the module? can you try with a really simple rewrite rule as a testcase?
[06:09] <rww> Cydd: As you've been told repeatedly in the past, #ubuntu is not for chit-chat.
[06:09] <Cydd> you guys are no fun
[06:09] <wells5878> acicula: anything seem odd here? http://pastebin.com/QUGQTQYZ
[06:10] <wells5878> acicula: i'm not familiar with ctl
[06:10] <acicula> apachewe apachectl
[06:10] <wells5878> oh dir
[06:11] <wells5878> *dur
[06:12] <acicula> wells5878: i have no idea wether those are correct or not, again, write a trivial rewrite rule and try that. if that works you know where to look
[06:13] <acicula> wells5878: if you remove the Options -Index , does it work then?
[06:13] <wells5878> trivial rewrites do work
[06:13] <wells5878> i tried RewriteRule   ^test\.html$  test.php [R,L]
[06:14] <acicula> wells5878: k, then its your .htaccess file thats malformed then
[06:14] <acicula> can you try it without the -Index
[06:15] <wells5878> no change without the -index
[06:16] <wells5878> even if those rewrite rules are incorrect, it still doesn't explain why a directory without an index would give me a 500 error
[06:17] <acicula> it gives you a 500 error because of the .htaccess file, whats in it does not really factor into that i guess?
[06:17] <acicula> try the htaccess line by line?
[06:18] <wells5878> removing the htaccess file altogether still results in a 500 error on empty directories
[06:18] <acicula> ah like so
[06:18] <wells5878> due to this, and the fact that the htaccess works on a WAMP server, it tells me this is a server misconfiguration.
[06:18] <wells5878> and i'm bleeding out my ears trying to figure out what the hell is wrong
[06:18] <wells5878> haha
[06:21] <acicula> whats the corresponding error in the error log?
[06:23] <pythonirc101> I would like to route all my pidgin traffic thru a ssl tunnel to a machine with static address running ubuntu on which I've an account. How can I do this?
[06:23] <alnr> on natty on a Xen VPS, upload speed is sub 20KB/s. Provider has repro'd and isolated to just their ubuntu template but dont know why. any known issues or anything I can check?
[06:23] <wells5878> acicula: no entries in /var/log/apache2/error.log
[06:24] <acicula> wells5878: heh, thats remarkebly unhelpfull. whats the global setting on Indexes if you change/remove it does anything change? could filepermissions be an issue?
[06:25] <dattebayo> how can i remove repo from terminal?
[06:25] <wells5878> acicula: perms are set to 750 for files and directories, i think the global setting is Options -Indexes. if I paste my httpd.conf would that be helpful? or anything else?
[06:28] <acicula> wells5878: not really
[06:28] <jimmy__> hello
[06:28] <latagore> I'm having trouble mounting a partition
[06:28] <acicula> wells5878: static content does work?
[06:28] <jimmy__> really...??
[06:28] <jimmy__> but
[06:28] <wells5878> acicula: yes
[06:28] <jimmy__> what is problems
[06:28] <jimmy__> ??
[06:29] <acicula> wells5878: any rendered content works?
[06:30] <acicula> alnr: enabled checksum offloading?
[06:30] <wells5878> acicula: if you mean dynamic php, yes
[06:31] <jimmy__> please...
[06:31] <jimmy__> help me
[06:31] <latagore> I can't mount my windows boot partition; mount tells me it is mounted or the directory is busy
[06:31] <jimmy__> a problems...
[06:31] <jimmy__> in ubuntu
[06:31] <rww> !ask | jimmy__
[06:31] <jimmy__> ok
[06:31] <acicula> wells5878: yes. ok so file serving works, cgi works. some htacces file work, but this particular one does not nor does having an directory listed. Seems the issue revolves around the Index
[06:31] <jimmy__> thanks
[06:32] <acicula> wells5878: what happens if you just set the global index to +
[06:32] <wells5878> acicula: hm... i've never even heard of such an issue. what's the prognosis, doc?
[06:32] <acicula> wells5878: also do you have an allowoverride directive set?
[06:33] <yangmeng> hello
[06:33] <wells5878> acicula: AllowOverride All in the apache config, tried Options +Indexes same issue
[06:33] <acicula> hurr
[06:36] <acicula> wells5878: then im out of ideas
[06:37] <yangmeng> i can't open the system in ubuntu 11.04
[06:38] <acicula> latagore: that usually means you already have it mounted under another directory. the filebrowser usually lists any mounted drives in the left pane of the filebrowser window
[06:38] <latagore> acicula: It is not mounted; it's not listed under mount
[06:39] <acicula> latagore: how are you mounting it?
[06:39] <latagore> acicula: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[06:40] <latagore> acicula: I've tried mounting it to different folders
[06:40] <acicula> latagore: k, no problems there, the most common cause is an unclean windows shutdown. rebooting to windows and shutting it down again should fix that.
[06:40] <acicula> latagore: there might be something helpfull in dmesg, dmesg | tail to view the last few lines
[06:41] <latagore> acicula: Well that would be great and all if I could get it to show up in grub
[06:41] <latagore> acicula: nothing in dmesg either
[06:42] <acicula> latagore: ah yeah, grub kind of needs windows to be mountable for it to be included by grub
[06:42] <Stormshadow> hi all
[06:42] <acicula> at least, the autoconfigure of grub does
[06:42] <latagore> acicula: hm, something interesting showed up in dmesg
[06:43] <Stormshadow> im trying to update my system but i constantly get an update error indicating failure due to linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-22-generic . The package no longer exists but its still being reproted
[06:43] <Stormshadow> using 10.04 lts
[06:44] <latagore> acicula: pastebin doesn't seem to be working right now
[06:44] <latagore> acicula: one line should be enough "[ 7229.716412] device-mapper: table: 252:1: sda3 too small for target: start=1936269394, len=1836016416, dev_size=204800"
[06:45] <latagore> acicula: any idea what this might mean?
[06:47] <acicula> latagore: not really sure
[06:48] <acicula> latagore: seems related to lvm
[06:49] <invisiblehero> Hey is there a way of determining where the packet gets dropped? Because I can't listen on ports and I've used UFW to allow the ports and also even tried IPTABLES command and it still doesn't allow connections. The router allows the port to go forward though (I have the logs proving it)
[06:49] <invisiblehero> it like automatically drops once it hits the computer
[06:50] <latagore> acicula: so any idea where I should start? LVM doesn't seem to be installed
[06:54] <acicula> latagore: no, just ignore lvm then, but googling the message isnt telling me anything. Id start with trying getting into windows
[06:54] <acicula> !dualboot
[06:54] <acicula> the procedure usually involves using the windows cd in recoveyr mode or your recovery cd. Means you will have to use the ubuntu livecd afterwards to fix grub again though
[06:55] <latagore> acicula: I actually have the windows installer on a hard drive xD
[06:55] <acicula> latagore: well you did boot it in some way i presume?
[06:55] <dongkaiqiang> how can i use ubuntu?
[06:56] <latagore> acicula: I did, then I restored grub and updated grub and it didn't show up in grub anymore
[06:57] <acicula> latagore: it does not show up in grub because you can not mount the partition
[06:57] <terje_> Anyone know how I can make a bootable usb with Windows 7 on it?
[06:58] <latagore> acicula: So you told me
[06:58] <terje_> I can find a whole lot of programs that makes bootable usb sticks for linux
[06:58] <yangmeng> liveusbcreater
[06:58] <bazhang> terje_, try ##windows
[06:58] <yangmeng> grub4dos
[06:59] <terje_> thanks, i'll try :)
[07:00] <latagore> terje_: Can you just pick the drive from windows from the CD?
[07:00] <Kolt> Hi! I installed ubuntu 11 64 bit on my girlfriends laptop. (I myself use debian) What repositories should I list for her?
[07:01] <latagore> Kolt: You shouldn't need to list any extra repos
[07:01] <Kolt> latagore: why not?
[07:02] <latagore> Kolt: Because there are repos provided by default
[07:02] <yangmeng> gstreamer
[07:02] <terje_> latagore: what do you mean? ;O
[07:02] <yangmeng> kolt: gstreamer
[07:02] <qin> Kolt: Enable (like in debian) restricted and multiverse
[07:04] <latagore> terje_: When you are installing Windows from the CD, you should be able to pick the drive you want to install it on. Plug in a USB when booting and try and install like that
[07:05] <latagore> Kolt: Well, unless you need manufacturer drivers for your hardware, I don't see the need to
[07:05] <terje_> sounds like a lot of effort lol, in linux u can make bootable usb's with simple programs(UNetBootin), same in windows
[07:05] <Kolt> qin: Alright I enabled everything that was listed by default. ty.
[07:05] <terje_> would be weird if u cant make a 'crossover'
[07:05] <Kolt> latagore: How do I do this 'mark all upgrades' thing in ubuntu software center?
[07:06] <latagore> terje_: Do you mean make an installer on a USB or install the OS on the USB?
[07:06] <latagore> Kolt: You probably need to go into synaptic, you can run it in terminal
[07:07] <latagore> Kolt: though you need root privileges
[07:07] <terje_> latagore: I want to install windows 7 from a usb stick :)
[07:07] <Renton> So, Gnome 3 is replacing Gnome 2 in Ubuntu 11.10, isn't it?
[07:07] <Kolt> latagore: I have. I use synaptic. I'll try that
[07:08] <rww> Renton: yes
[07:08] <rww> !ubuntu+1
[07:08] <terje_> latagore: I got a windows 7 iso file which I want to make bootable on a usb stick
[07:08] <latagore> Well things like Unetbootin only create installers, not the OS
[07:08] <Renton> Dayum shame
[07:08] <latagore> terje_: Oh wait, I misread that
[07:08] <latagore> terje_: I did that with my hard disk, though it's a bit annoying
[07:08] <yangmeng> kolt you can make a dvd
[07:09] <invisiblehero> bah I don't think I'm going to get it working
[07:09] <yangmeng> then use the dvd make a usb os
[07:09] <vishnus> hey..Im using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. i have ZTE AC8700 data card with me. I have the the dialer driver for 32bit. its not letting me install it in my system saying wrong architecture. any solution? problem is i can access net via mobile broadband connection. but is super slow. It works very fast without disconnection in Windows.. :(
[07:09] <yangmeng> and you can use the usb install win7
[07:09] <latagore> terje_: Lemme see if I can find the tutorial for you, I don't know any programs that do it for you
[07:09] <Kolt> yangmeng: mabe you wanted to msg terje_
[07:09] <terje_> latagore: alright, thx
[07:10] <yangmeng> so sorry
[07:10] <terje_> yangmeng: if I make a dvd with w7 on it, I dont need the USB any longer :s
[07:11] <yangmeng> well ,you can use a usb data card with grub
[07:11] <latagore> terje_: It'll be hard for me to find it, I can explain instead
[07:12] <terje_> latagore: pm
[07:12] <yangmeng> terje_:uss the grub ,you can make the iso work
[07:12] <latagore> Geez, I came to get help, not to give it lol
[07:12] <pratz> hey guys i have installed 11.04 and now i am in a deep problem
[07:12] <yangmeng> terje_:for example map /windows7.iso (0xff)
[07:12] <yangmeng> map --hook
[07:13] <yangmeng> chainloader (0xff)
[07:13] <yangmeng> boot
[07:13] <terje_> yangmeng: sry im not that experienced.. dont really know what you're talking about now :\
[07:13] <pratz> this morning i started my computer and i am setting console with busy box v.1.17 and there is no gdm and not even terminal
[07:14] <faLUCE> hi. Is it possible to assign some keyboard shortcuts ONLY for a specific workspace?
[07:14] <yangmeng> terje_: so sorry ,my english is very pooer
[07:14] <pratz> hey guys how to i normally log in now ??
[07:15] <yangmeng> terje_:maybe you can google "grub iso"
[07:15] <terje_> yangmeng: thx
[07:15] <vishnus> someone reply to me :(
[07:16] <yangmeng> terje_:you are welcome
[07:16] <pratz> hey guys i am dropped into busybox shell, how should i log in normally now ??
[07:17] <latagore> pratz: You might need to reinstall grub, it's been a while since I had that error
[07:17] <pratz> latagore: i have running 11.04
[07:19] <vishnus> i cant shift to Ubuntu without fixing this issue :(...
[07:20] <latagore> pratz:  You might need to reinstall, people here might be able to help you
[07:20] <latagore> instead of having to reinstall
[07:20] <pratz> hey guys anyone i am dropped in busybox shell , how should i log in normally now ??
[07:21] <latagore> pratz: Have you tried google :P
[07:21] <herkupus> pratz: if booting stops at busybox shell, something went wrong. probably the root filesystem could not be found.
[07:21] <Gryllida> !google > latagore
[07:21] <g0t> Results for > latagore on Google:
[07:21] <g0t> --
[07:22] <rww> g0t: Talking scripts are not allowed in #ubuntu. Please disable yours.
[07:28] <bkerensa> Is it possible to install Ubuntu over Windows while maintaining files/data? I have some weird friend who has a messed up  windows install and I'm trying to recover his files?
[07:29] <bkerensa> I'm assuming no due to NTFS
[07:29] <aesmile> hi ;)
[07:29] <html-inprogress> hi
[07:29] <pratz> guys tried searching on net, not much help, anyone , i am dropped in busybox shell, how can i log in normally ??
[07:30] <LilleCarl> bkerensa, you can take your pc and burn a live linux cd of a live linux distro
[07:30] <herkupus> pratz: if booting stops at busybox shell, something went wrong. probably the root filesystem could not be found.
[07:30] <LilleCarl> then you can access the hdd and move files as you want to
[07:30] <bkerensa> LilleCarl: You genius... I totally forgot!
[07:30] <LilleCarl> ;)
[07:30] <herkupus> bkerensa: yeah, using a live cd would be better in that case
[07:30] <html-inprogress> pratz,  whay do you need ?
[07:30] <pratz> herkupus: can you please tell me a solution for this ??
[07:31] <pratz> html-inprogress: i need to boot normally
[07:31] <herkupus> pratz: no, since not finding the root filesystem may have many reasons
[07:31] <herkupus> html-inprogress: pratz's system stops booting at the busybox emergency shell, probably the root fs isn't found
[07:31] <pratz> herkupus: what do you suggest, should i reinstall the system ??
[07:31] <html-inprogress> with what ?
[07:31] <bkerensa> herkpus & LilleCarl: Thanks... There damn BOOTMGR is dead and they didnt have a win cd so I was like ffs
[07:32] <bkerensa> Good thing I have a Natty LiveCD :)
[07:32] <html-inprogress> as in evobuntu ?
[07:32] <LilleCarl> kbrosnan, i think they were smart enough to remove "boot.ini" it is restorable without reinstalling if you know howto (sadly i dont)
[07:33] <LilleCarl> bkerensa, ***
[07:33] <herkupus> pratz: would be the easiest way. but something went wrong during this install, so why should it be different next time?
[07:33] <herkupus> pratz: maybe your storage hardware is not fully supported
[07:33] <LilleCarl> herkupus, you know a second try always helps ;)
[07:34] <pratz> herkupus: what you mean by storage hardware ??
[07:34] <herkupus> pratz: harddisk controller
[07:34] <pratz> herkupus: is it a hardware problem
[07:34] <pratz> herkupus: but i though linux has good support for hardware
[07:35] <html-inprogress> im lost what os are you haveing trouble with ?
[07:35] <pratz> herkupus: *various hardwares
[07:35] <villa> hello
[07:35] <LilleCarl> pratz, it does but that does not mean your stuff is supported? :P
[07:35] <pratz> html-inprogress: ubunut 11.04
[07:35] <villa> anyone who can help me
[07:35] <veek> i'm trying to do: ls *.ps|xargs -I{} mpage -2 {}>{}m0.ps anyway to get it to work??
[07:35] <veek> bash -c xargs..
[07:35] <herkupus> pratz: well, not each and all. it depends on how much the hardware manufacturers are cooperating with the open source driver developers.
[07:35] <villa> I want to show ibus on the panel, but I have no idea how to do
[07:36] <villa> thanks
[07:36] <LilleCarl> veek, i tihnk #bash would be better for you
[07:36] <pratz> any other solution than reinstalling the system is appreciated, i am waiting for 60 mins for your help, else i will reinstall the system
[07:36] <pratz> thanks guys
[07:37] <veek> LilleCarl: thanks
[07:37] <html-inprogress> villa,  then drag and drop
[07:37] <LilleCarl> no problems veek :)
[07:38] <villa> html-inprogress, ...
[07:38] <faLUCE> is there a way to trigger when I type some consecutive keys? for example: if I type "script1" I want to execute script1.sh automatically
[07:38] <villa> what you mean
[07:38] <html-inprogress> pratz,  then foucs on me and tell me all
[07:39] <pratz> html-inprogress: k, dude

[07:39] <pratz> html-inprogress: just hold
[07:39] <LilleCarl> villa, html-inprogress private conversation <3?
[07:40] <LilleCarl> and dont get that message wrong now xD
[07:41] <pratz> html-inprogress: i started my computer this morning and got "os choose option" which i never had before, it has options , normal boot and recover mode, i tried both but they drop me to busybox shell
[07:41] <html-inprogress> villa,  just like it says , and one of windows gui that is no by default:) but linux is , ( if you have a gui tthat does so)
[07:42] <LilleCarl> pratz, you are talking about grub, thats all i can tell you
[07:42] <pratz> LilleCarl: i do not think it is grub, it is busybox shell
[07:43] <html-inprogress> did you udate grup ?  tobisha brand in my exerance always needs it
[07:43] <pratz> html-inprogress: LilleCarl but i can drop in grub shell
[07:43] <LilleCarl> hmmm
[07:43] <LilleCarl> i dont know
[07:43] <html-inprogress> fixes a lot of problems indircertly
[07:43] <pratz> html-inprogress: LilleCarl in fact i am currently i am in grub shell
[07:44] <LilleCarl> Well im completley lost there so sorry
[07:44] <LilleCarl> maby #grub can help you
[07:44] <zamba> i'm trying to set up the nvidia driver by using nvidia-xconfig and then restarting X (/etc/init.d/gdm restart).. but i don't get X running.. "no screens found"
[07:45] <LilleCarl> zamba, invalid config i guess, happened to me in debian but with ati
[07:45] <zamba> LilleCarl: well.. shouldn't nvidia-xconfig do that for me?
[07:45] <pratz> LilleCarl: and how do i update grub , whats the command ??
[07:46] <LilleCarl> zamba, i said the same to ati, i had a to old card to use the prop driver :S
[07:46] <LilleCarl> pratz, no idea, i think i did it via apt xD
[07:46] <pratz> LilleCarl: k , dude
[07:46] <LilleCarl> pratz, i think a live cd could come handy right now
[07:46] <xrfang>  while I install mysql-server via apt-get, it ask me to set mysql root password, is there a way to suppress this dialog and use a user/pass via script, or just use some "default" so that I can change later via scripts?
[07:46] <zamba> VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)
[07:46] <zamba> that's not exactly an old card, is it?
[07:47] <pratz> LilleCarl: k, i will try that
[07:47] <LilleCarl> zamba, how about to new then?
[07:47] <zamba> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201101-7180:201103-7376/components
[07:47] <zamba> and it's even certified by ubuntu
[07:47] <LilleCarl> hmmm
[07:47] <LilleCarl> no idea then, might be some glitch
[07:48] <zamba> "The Lenovo Thinkpad T410 laptop has been awarded the status of Certified on Ubuntu PC (x86)."

[07:48] <zamba> that's just bollocks
[07:48] <Rotham> hwo can I get wget to output http://testurl.com/file.zip into namedfile.zip ?
[07:48] <kalinka> Hi, i'm having a problem with dpkg and msttcorefonts package
[07:48] <herkupus> zamba: that maybe refers to the T410 with intel graphics
[07:48] <LilleCarl> Rotham, i think wget URL > FILENAME
[07:48] <yangmeng> rotham:mark
[07:48] <dsathe> use a proper driver
[07:49] <zamba> herkupus: check under hardware overview.. and it even mentions "Proprietary Drivers Required"
[07:49] <herkupus> zamba: personally i would never certify anything that needs closed source drivers
[07:49] <zamba> Rotham: wget <url> -O <outputfile>
[07:49] <kalinka> when I tried to install the msttcorefonts package, apt kept asking for HTTP Proxy, however I can't input anything into the box. Enter took no effect. I had to close the terminal.
[07:49] <zamba> herkupus: to get the full 3d experience, yeah.. but i just need something that works here
[07:50] <Rotham> thanks zamba that worked :)
[07:50] <LilleCarl> kalinka, just try again, gnome-terminal sometimes hungs up
[07:50] <kalinka> Now everytime I want to install something, apt-get forced me to run dpkg --configure -a, and the same HTTP Proxy dialog appear, I can't do anything !!
[07:51] <LilleCarl> kalinka, apt-get update
[07:51] <herkupus> Rotham: put the option first: wget -O <outfile> <url>
[07:51] <kalinka> LilleCarl: apt-get won't work, it keeps asking me to run dpkg --configure -a
[07:51] <vishnus> hello everyone ... Im using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. i have ZTE AC8700 data card with me. I have the the dialer driver for 32bit. its not letting me install it in my system saying wrong architecture. any solution? problem is i can access net via mobile broadband connection. but is super slow. It works very fast without disconnection in Windows. im currently in Windows coz the net is not stable....
[07:51] <vishnus> ...ping takes 1000+ms whereas in windows its less than 300ms.. while downloading in ubuntu ive got upto 60kbps, but browsing is super slow. mostly goes timed out... please help me with this, without making the data card work i cant shift to ubuntu from windows
[07:52] <LilleCarl> kalinka, none of the apt commands? because when a installation hungs up then you need to repair some index or smth
[07:52] <kalinka> I posted a question to msttcorefonts package maintainer in lauchpad, still no luck
[07:52] <LilleCarl> kalinka, it might be gnome-terminal! happened to me several times that it just hungs up :S
[07:52] <kalinka> LilleCarl: i'm using kde termial
[07:53] <LilleCarl> kalinka, hmm nvm then xD
[07:53] <almoxarife> kalinka: why not run the dpkg....... ?
[07:54] <kalinka> I think the msttcorefonts package is really broken, the problem is how to get rid that dialog
[07:54] <kalinka> almoxarife: the http proxy dialog will appear, and I can't input anything, can't press enter
[07:56] <palhmbs> I know this might be a rather off-topic question, but I've just overwrote a important file with echo > -- on a NTFS partition, is there any way to recover it?
[07:57] <almoxarife> kalinka: you in a terminal?
[07:57] <palhmbs> I've tried looking with debugfs / testdisk....
[07:57] <kalinka> almoxarife: http://imageshack.us/f/94/snapshot3g.png/ here, the screenshot
[07:58] <kalinka> that dialog won't disappear whatever I do
[07:58] <kalinka> and it comes back everytime I run dpkg --configure -a
[07:59] <Kolt> Hi! I installed Sims3 on ubuntu. The game is running however when I run it, there is no text in-game at all and the graphics are strange. the terminal output is: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpastebin.com%2FWidLmTHu&h=2AQDUkNT4

[08:05] <dyd> hi all
[08:06] <dyd> anyone knows how i can hide my connection info (dipecobackup.economia.unimib.it)?
[08:06] <LilleCarl> dyd, hide it where and from what?
[08:07] <Ozik> Ubuntu 10.04.01 LTS installed on RAID 0 via PCI card: works ok till shutdown -h. With GRUB legacy I have error 17, with GRUB 2 it keep restarting. recovery helps till shutdown
[08:08] <dyd> LilleCarl: yep, sorry: i mean hide them in irc
[08:08] <LilleCarl> Hmm, not sure i only know about VPN tunnels :p
[08:09] <LilleCarl> dyd, how come you wanna do that anyways? :S
[08:09] <dyd> LilleCarl: mm, but what can i google to find a solution? "hide my domain"?
[08:10] <kalinka> almoxarife: of course
[08:10] <LilleCarl> hide your domain will lead you to the answer "proxy" or "vpn"
[08:10] <dyd> LilleCarl: with that info you know that i am in an italian university now
[08:10] <LilleCarl> dyd, any you wanna play wow or something? :P
[08:11] <LilleCarl> and*
[08:11] <dyd> LilleCarl: lolol :D no, just wanted to avoid people know that :)
[08:11] <dyd> LilleCarl: i think that if i set up a proxy and connect to a web irc client i can do the trick... but sucks
[08:12] <LilleCarl> dyd, well that suck balls of steel, then a VPN would be better

[08:36] <html-inprogress> llutz,  oh ha ha ha ha h ahohoho h ho oh
[08:37] <Lasers> shomon: It's possible. We won't just find it out for you. You're kinda asking us to write a script for you. Work with one PDF. Find out which OCR works great. Look up in forums. When it worked -- then you can use it on the rest of 9999 PDFs.
[08:37] <shomon> no, I can write my own script
[08:37] <shomon> thanks
[08:38] <shomon> :) and it's only 1000 of them... But I see when I type pdftotext there are 2 packages it could be in...
[08:38] <shomon> and I know there's loads of little utilities like this, but I've not used them in about 5 years.

[10:22] <pablofb> wiaoguren: It shows the beginning, you can scroll down
[10:23] <waiguoren> pablofb, with the mouse?
[10:23] <pablofb> yes, with the mouse and with the cursors
[10:24] <waiguoren> pablofb, thanks, ill try again
[10:24] <ratc> whowantstolivefo , maybe some free VNC variant?
[10:24] <ratc> like ultra vnc
[10:25] <KM0201> !vnc | whowantstolivefo  there's a lot of options
[10:25] <whowantstolivefo> ratc: if you go http://www.netsupportmanager.com/features.asp  this site, you can understand what i want, i am newbie , i have no problem in my network, i need only tools manage and connect clients, and chat with any client or connect send file etc.
[10:26] <ratc> netsupportsmanager does has a linux version
[10:26] <whowantstolivefo> ratc:  i know, this is why i ask, is there any tool like this.
[10:28] <KM0201> whowantstolivefo: that page you linked to, has linux versions on their site, why don't you use it?
[10:28] <whowantstolivefo> KM0201:  i dont want to pay any licence. this is why i turned to linux, i delete all microsoft products from our office.
[10:29] <ratc> i used realvnc , works good for me, but i don't think it has all those features listed there.
[10:29] <KM0201> whowantstolivefo: ok.. thats fine, just didn't make sense yu're asking for a progra "like...." and the program you linked to, has a linux version, but that makes sense
[10:30] <KM0201> whowantstolivefo: can't you use the "built in" remote desktop tool in Ubuntu?
[10:31] <whowantstolivefo> KM0201: how can i do this ? built in ? i am sorry as i say before, i am newbie :)
[10:31] <KM0201> whowantstolivefo: no offense, but as new as you are, are you sure yu're prepared to manage 40 pc's?
[10:31] <zonema> can someone tell how to put this line into bash? openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 1000 \          -key ca-key.pem -out ca-cert.pem  the problem seems too be the "\" char!!
[10:32] <KM0201> whowantstolivefo: go to System/         / Remote Desktop Connections, and configure remote desktop  (I can't remember if its uner system/admin or system/preferences)
[10:32] <whowantstolivefo> KM0201:  yes, now everyone works great, i was using kerio firewall, i kicked this and now i use pfsense.
[10:33] <KM0201> whowantstolivefo: but honestly (don't know what your network does).. if you need a secure connection, ubuntu's remote desktop utility, is  not what you want to use... you really need to look at a secure ssh connection
[10:34] <budy_> hi any1 can help me pls
[10:34] <budy_> i just have 1 simple question
[10:34] <nightrid3r> budy_ not if you don't tell your problem
[10:34] <whowantstolivefo> KM0201:  ratc : thanks for help and suggestions i will look internet and get some informations about your comments.
[10:34] <KM0201> budy_: rather than telling us how simple your question is, just ask your question, if someone can help, they will.
[10:34] <budy_> k
[10:35] <budy_> how do i remove the left side sidebar cause i hate it
[10:35] <budy_> !?
[10:35] <budy_> sry 4 my bad english
[10:35] <budy_> :((
[10:36] <KM0201> budy_: i don't think you can.. it's a fundamental part of unity.
[10:36] <budy_> :(((((
[10:36] <maksim> #ubuntu-ru
[10:38] <pablofb> budy_: If you don like Unity you can always revert to "ubuntu classic"
[10:39] <budy_> yaa i'd just google it and it sez i have to relog in gnom
[10:39] <KM0201> !classic | budy_
[10:39] <budy_> gnome*
[10:39] <the_misfit> whats the big freaking controversy over unity
[10:39] <budy_> ya ty guys
[10:39] <KM0201> the_misfit: it sucks?  ;)
[10:39] <budy_> have a nice day
[10:40] <the_misfit> its just a docky/docklet thingy with some handy keyboard shortcuts
[10:40] <the_misfit> beats the menu
[10:40] <dattebayo> anybody use wine here?
[10:40] <KM0201> the_misfit: i disagree, the menu kills unity, and i'd strongly disagree w/ how "handy" it is.
[10:40] <KM0201> !wine | dattebayo
[10:41] <the_misfit> KM0201: eh its a wip
[10:41] <KM0201> a wip?
[10:41] <KM0201> oh, work in progress
[10:41] <the_misfit> work in progress
[10:41] <KM0201> i agree...
[10:42] <the_misfit> theres some visceral overreaction to it
[10:42] <KM0201> but frankly, Unity sucks... i cannot get used to that crappy interface, after seeing Gnome 3, i see it only getting worse.. so i had to make a change.. start getting used to something else... cuz i will not use KDE>
[10:42] <KM0201> the_misfit: why would someone want a "netbook interface" on a 21in monitor?
[10:43] <the_misfit> KM0201: good point
[10:43] <KM0201> the_misfit: the interface, makes sense on netbooks, and probably for some users, even on some laptops... but on a desktop?  it just looks ridiculous.
[10:44] <the_misfit> KM0201: its coming along though, read the unity report (weekly, lol) on omgbuntu
[10:45] <KM0201> the_misfit: see, the thing is.. 11.04, unity is obviously very rough... 11.10, it'll probably be a bit better, but by 11.10, they'r egoing to be trying to implement gnome 3... which is liable to make 11.10 suck pretty hard to... my point is, ubuntu may not see a halfway decent release again, until 12.04, maybe 12.10
[10:45] <the_misfit> dunno, ubuntu is going for mainstream usability pretty much, and thats the whole point
[10:45] <KM0201> the_misfit: i think Ubuntu is trying to be a Mac... which is the wrong direction to go, IMO.
[10:46] <sktn07> please help me out:   who set irc channel topic ?...or how to set it?
[10:46] <KM0201> the_misfit: oh well, it doesn't matter to me, thank heavens for choice.. i switched to lxde, and love it
[10:46] <the_misfit> sktn07: operators set the irc topic
[10:46] <KM0201> sktn07: why on earth would you want to set the topic?... if you don't know how to do it, you have no business changing it.
[10:46] <the_misfit> KM0201: relax, he's prob new to irc
[10:47] <KM0201> the_misfit: if he's that new to IRC, why is he wanting to change the topic on a 1500 person IRC channeL?...
[10:47] <IdleOne> KM0201: he never said for this channel
[10:47] <IdleOne> Please try being a little less brusque
[10:47] <sktn07> <he_misfit, how to be an operator of a cnannel?
[10:48] <KM0201> hmm, then why come here?... it's not really ubuntu related.

[10:49] <gaurav_natty> what is extension for executable file in linux
[10:50] <the_misfit> gaurav_natty: what are you trying to do ?
[10:50] <KM0201> .bin, sh?  there's several.
[10:51] <gaurav_natty> the_misfit,  i am having perl script file i have 2 save that and execute
[11:00] <hiexpo> !google
[11:00] <Scribbled2x> Where could a find a table that breaks down the version / name for each distribution?  For example, how do I know what packages are for oneric versus lucid or one of the other distributions?  I tried to follow the Live CD Customization and somehow installed perl for oneric but everything else for natty << yea donno what happened there?
[11:02] <the_misfit> Scribbled2x: do you mean the packages that came with the CD for each version of Ubuntu?
[11:03] <the_misfit> Scribbled2x: something like this ? http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu
[11:05] <Scribbled2x> the_misfit - sorry no, what I meant was I would like to install oneric without a graphical interface, I tried this but somehow installed components to natty --
[11:05] <the_misfit> Scribbled2x: oh, like a makeshift custom distro of oneric
[11:06] <Scribbled2x> yes
[11:06] <Scribbled2x> exactly -
[11:06] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[11:07] <Scribbled2x> I need to liveCD to perform one specific function - no installer, no X, blah blah blah - but I need it to run a web server, htdig, perl, and all of that.  The problem was that I installed perl for one version of ubuntu and the rest for another version of ubuntu
[11:07] <Scribbled2x> prolly cause it was a retarded moment in my life :|
[11:08] <Scribbled2x> the_misfit: like for example, what is vs 11.04 is that oneric or is that something else
[11:08] <chalcedony> top says root is using 100% of my memory?! Ubuntu 10.04
[11:09] <bastidrazor> Scribbled2x: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/
[11:09] <BluesKaj> Scribbled2x, 11.04 is natty
[11:10] <Scribbled2x> ok so 11.10 is then oneric
[11:10] <BluesKaj> 11.10 is  oneiric
[11:10] <Scribbled2x> understand
[11:10] <Scribbled2x> thank you
[11:12] <Scribbled2x> one last question: sorry if I driving u guys nutz.  I want to do this live CD - made the first one working, but problems came in because I used wrong dbootstrap .... (i think).  How do I do this so that I am using all files for the correct version?  I mean where exactly was my retard moment so that I don't make the same mistake?
[11:14] <BluesKaj> to do a live cd , what do you mean, Scribbled2x?
[11:14] <epzil0n> Scribbled2x: one advise is that you check that you have a md5sum match of the iso-file you downloaded and then burn it at slowest speed and do not use the computer for anything else
[11:15] <epzil0n> Scribbled2x: then when you boot from the live-cd you will se an option in the bootmenu.. check if media is ok or something, then if all fine you shouldn't have any problem or at least not with the install media ;)
[11:17] <Scribbled2x> Blueskaj: I started following instructions for Live CD Customization, during the process it talked about doing things for the various versions.  My version of choice what oneric, but somehow (unwittingly) I used components of natty.  While I could never ask anyone here to know what I did, I am asking if there is a way to download all of the packages for oneric, change my sources.list file to point at my hard drive, and guarentee that I 
[11:17] <phax> how does one upgrade to the latest version of gcc and g++ on the Ubuntu 10.04
[11:17] <gaurav_natty> is there any themes is available for Ubuntu 11.04
[11:18] <engrxyz> hi, i have a hostname in /etc/hostname on ubuntu named as blah, and i wanted it to be changed to blahblah. is there a way for me to implement this changes without restarting the machine?
[11:18] <Scribbled2x> epzil0n : the actual creation part was no problem, the iso is fully functional and working  (kinda got lucky there); the problem came in when I went to install other applications onto the iso when I used applications that were intended for a different version
[11:19] <geirha> engrxyz: It'll take effect immediately, but you *must* make the same change in /etc/hosts, or sudo breaks.
[11:19] <epzil0n> Scribbled2x: ok so you wanted to make a custom lie-cd?
[11:19] <epzil0n> live*
[11:19] <BluesKaj> Scribbled2x, don't change your sources.list , for oneiric do , sudo do-release-upgrade -d , the sources will then autodtae to oneiric as well as all installed packages

[11:33] <vishaltelangre> MrsB: Yep, it works for me under Windows on any browser, but now I'm on Ubuntu and in firefox it says server not found. :(
[11:33] <nightrid3r> server not found means a dns problem
[11:33] <FxIII> nightrid3r: what if i see that there are no update?

[11:37] <balooo> Hi,  I tried to install ubuntu as a dual boot and that messed my windows up.  So then I used a recovery usb that i made to restore windows 7's MBR,  I  clicked the Repair Startup option which completed without error.  My problem now is that, windows will only boot if I have the usb in the machine,  if there is no usb in the machine, it gives me a grub error
[11:37] <Dr_Willis|2> hannofcart__:  i think its a dpkg option.  I always just use synaptic to see the details on packages.
[11:37] <golter> Guten tag leute

[11:44] <nightrid3r> ledjo does your usb disk work on another computer, cos i have the same and never had any problems
[11:44] <ledjo> so
[11:44] <Gryllida> ledjo, yes, there is. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users
[11:44] <ledjo> just a sec

[11:46] <bliket_> hey, I wrote my own software to handle some incomming tcp connections and the such. for some reason after making like 5000 connections with maybe 200 or so active connections my sockets stop listening and connections get refused. I heard they may be a limit of maximum processes/files open on a per user basis. I also heard this can be changed with "ulimit -a", my question is there some way to get a user's statistics on how much usage
[11:46] <vishaltelangre> Gryllida: host: parse of /etc/resolv.conf failed
[11:46] <MrsB> vishaltelangre: close firefox and restart networking sudo /etc/init.d/network restart (it might be networking rather than network, its vaires across distro's and Im not on ubuntu now to check)
[11:46] <Delta_> my wireless card is not stable. whenever I download for a long period of time at 1MB/s it kind of get stuck and I have to disable and reenable my wireless card to get it working again. I am using a PAE kernel. Can this be the cause?
[11:46] <Dr_Willis|2> ledjo:  if a usb device when plugged in - does not get a /dev/sdXX entry assigned to it.. then theres somthing wrong with the kernel, or drivers, or device.
[11:47] <acicula> bliket_: ulimit shows you the limits
[11:47] <Dr_Willis|2> ledjo:  unless its some sort of special usb device.  - i cant think of ny usb storage tht dosent use sdXX
[11:47] <Gryllida> vishaltelangre, ok, `sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf` and pastebin the file contents, please. This file is related to DNS and may be broken for you.
[11:47] <vishaltelangre> MrsB: okay
[11:47] <ledjo> those are 2 fat flashes and a psp that all worked untill yesterday, i.e. they were automounted. then yesterday they wouldn't automount anymore. I could see that they were  using dev sdc1 so I could mount them phisically but since yesterday evening that doesnt work any more, so I can lsusb see them..
[11:47] <acicula> bliket_: they are set in /etc/security/ somewhere
[11:47] <bliket_> acicula: is there any way to tell the current usage?
[11:47] <acicula> bliket_: think its called limit.conf
[11:47] <MrsB> vishaltelangre: if still no good then log out and log back in again, as a last resort you could reboot. It sounds like you have a 'windows friendly' router
[11:47] <Dr_Willis|2> ledjo:  does 'sudo fdisk -l' show them?
[11:47] <ledjo> no
[11:48] <acicula> bliket_: i would guess for filehandlers you can look with lsof
[11:48] <Dr_Willis|2> ledjo:  then you got a deeper issue..  when you plug them -  wait a moment or two. then check 'dmesg' output..  do dmesg a few times  a few sec apart. and see if any info on the device shows up
[11:49] <html-inprogress> hi
[11:49] <ledjo> i already did that and showed it to u
[11:49] <morphixness> hip
[11:49] <vishaltelangre> Gryllida: http://pastebin.com/haMLjLAf
[11:49] <vishaltelangre> MrsB: okay, please a few secons
[11:49] <acicula> bliket_: also i think ulimits applies per process
[11:50] <bliket_> acicula: /usr/sbin/lsof |wc -l      outputs:3985
[11:50] <acicula> bliket_: lsof lists every open file, not for just one process
[11:50] <Dr_Willis|2> ledjo:  i just got off work. :)  from what ive heard so far.. its pointong to either a bad usb port. or cable. or some very weird kernel issue..  a interesting test would be to see if a ubuntu live cd, and some other disrto (like tinycorelinux) could activate the device. IF one of those work.. check the  'lsmod' output to see what modules are getting loaded.
[11:51] <ledjo> and in dmesg this: [ 4912.748042] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[11:51] <Gryllida> vishaltelangre, make a backup, then remove the seconda nd third one IPs, restart networking.
[11:51] <Dr_Willis|2> thre should be several lines after that one ledjo eventually
[11:51] <Gryllida> vishaltelangre, backup = a file copy
[11:51] <MrsB> vishaltelangre: the pastebin looks like you have them all on one line, the should be on separate lines
[11:51] <ledjo> I know
[11:51] <ledjo> that IS the problem
[11:51] <golter> Hey guys when I write "/list" that doesn't work. And a Message come and show me this: Doing this is not a good idea. Add -YES option to command if  you really mean it
[11:52] <ledjo> I think I have to reinstall the whole sys
[11:52] <golter> can anyone help me pls ?
[11:52] <Dr_Willis|2> ledjo:  all i can suggest is check with a live cd or 2. check out the lsmod output.. and verify that they do work with a live cd.
[11:52] <vishaltelangre> MrsB: I tried closing firefox and executing networking command as http://pastebin.com/qgnyrUw9 and still firefox says server not found at www.vishaltelangre.com :(
[11:52] <Dr_Willis|2> golter:  a list of all the channels on this server will flood most irc clients off the network.
[11:52] <Dr_Willis|2> !lis
[11:52] <Dr_Willis|2> theres some list-channel-service.. but i enver use it.
[11:52] <golter> and what can I do ?
[11:53] <xangua> golter: tried to do what the message says¿
[11:53] <Dr_Willis|2> golter:  i dont know wht you are trying to do...
[11:53] <vishaltelangre> MrsB, Gryllida: okay first trying placing them on seperate line
[11:53] <golter> simple to show me all the channels on this server
[11:53] <Dr_Willis|2> if you want to get a full listing of all channels and proberly disconnected... /list -YES     like it says...

My guest machines used to have network access via the bridge I had setup under 10.04, though everytime I restarted my host, my routing table had multiple default gateways which broke internet access for host and guests until I deleted one.

[12:02] <brainwave92> i am trying to install binutils in a separate folder called 'avr' so i downloaded the source, and the ./configure --prefix=~/avr --target=avr is telling me that mine is an unknows x86_64 linux host

[12:02] <avinashhm> nightrid3r, super awesome .. worked dude .. thanks
[12:03] <OerHeks> ledjo, can you repeat your problem ? i can't find it reading back
[12:03] <Dr_Willis|2> ledjo:  Not related to 'ubuntu support' so  not rellevant.. did you test that box with a ubuntu live cd yet? compare teh lsmod outputs?
[12:03] <MrsB> andeeeuk_: theres somebody with the same problem here and a possible fix - http://tinyurl.com/5vmsb3d
[12:04] <andeeeuk_> ok thanks :)
[12:04] <ledjo> usb flashes wont choose /dev so I can at least manually mount them
[12:04] <ledjo> thats the problem in short, oerheks
[12:05] <ledjo> I dont have working cd rom on this laptop, willis

[12:06] <Delta_> does Chromium-browser support ad block?
[12:07] <Gryllida> Delta_, Yes.
[12:07] <astraljava> Delta_: Yes, there's an extension.
[12:07] <xangua> Delta_: there are adbock plugins for it
[12:07] <ledjo> oh pls!!! dont tell me that 1 + 1 is 2, oerheks
[12:07] <Gryllida> Delta_, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jjegmigigagnpcimcbimpefifgplgmge maybe. I remember that it exists
[12:07] <ledjo> its suppose to mount there and WILL
[12:07] <ledjo> M
[12:08] <ledjo> NOT
[12:08] <Dr_Willis|2> if the device is not getting a /dev/XXXX entry  then either its not loading the proper modules, or some quirky kernel bug. or theres some hardware issue.
[12:08] <bazhang> ledjo, pardon?
[12:08] <ledjo> Im reinstalling the sys now
[12:08] <iceroot> ledjo: is the usb-drive listed in /dev/sdX?  is dmesg showing the stick after pluggin it in?
[12:08] <Dr_Willis|2> how are you reinstalling if the cd did not work?
[12:08] <Dr_Willis|2> and you say the usb's dont work.
[12:09] <ledjo> I already tried that all I wouldn't ask questions here
[12:09] <iceroot> ledjo: is dmesg showing the stick?
[12:09] <ledjo> over lanP?
[12:09] <ledjo> over lan willis
[12:09] <ledjo> im installing xp
[12:09] <ledjo> now
[12:09] <nightrid3r> ledjo we ask these thing to narow down your problem
[12:09] <Dr_Willis|2> over the lan? thats a neat trick
[12:09] <iceroot> ledjo: is dmesg showing the stick? (last time i am asking)
[12:10] <Dr_Willis|2> if hes running the xp installer.. theres not a lot he can tell us for now.
[12:10] <bazhang> iceroot, usb wont mount apparently
[12:10] <ledjo> and in dmesg this: [ 4912.748042] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[12:10] <pentarex> hey guys my / directory is full how can I trace what;s going on.. I've delete one file nohup.out that was 8 gb but now its also full my / is 9.2 gb
[12:10] <iceroot> ledjo: then the system is not detecting the stick correctly
[12:10] <Dr_Willis|2> pentarex:  thats impressive getting one that large.
[12:10] <airon90> #ubuntu-irc
[12:10] <ledjo> I KNOIW THAT
[12:11] <iceroot> ledjo: is it a usb2 stick? your bus is only usb1
[12:11] <iceroot> ledjo: is it a harddisc which needs 2 cable to get power?
[12:11] <ledjo> it worked fine till yesterday I already told that
[12:11] <Dr_Willis|2> pentarex:   check the log files perhaps? there are some disk scanner tools that show file/dir sizes in use..
[12:11] <iceroot> ledjo: i dont read hundreds of lines to see what you wrote
[12:12] <iceroot> ledjo: but if you dont want my help, then its no problem
[12:12] <ledjo> they r usb flash 1 gb, 4 gb and psp
[12:12] <ledjo> they all worked fine till yesterday
[12:12] <Dr_Willis|2> that seems to point to a hardware problem on the pc.
[12:12] <iceroot> ledjo: have a look at /etc/fstab if there are old entrys for sticks
[12:13] <nightrid3r> ledjo thats why i asked to try them in another pc
[12:13] <ledjo> then they wouldnt automount any more and yesterday evening they wouldnt even choose dev any more
[12:13] <Fudge> hi does ubuntu still have inittab somewhere?
[12:13] <Dr_Willis|2> Fudge:  not really
[12:13] <Dr_Willis|2> !inittab

[12:17] <nightrid3r> tian whats your language
[12:17] <OttoTheBusDriver> #iceroot: Thank you
[12:18] <iceroot> ledjo: if you plugin an usb-stick, can you choose it in the boot-menu? so is the bios detecting the stick correctly?
[12:18] <iceroot> ledjo: to see if it is a ubuntu-problem or a hardware-issue
[12:19] <ledjo> I cant boot from usb
[12:19] <iceroot> ledjo: ok

[12:33] <th^^> Kivi_: apache2 iirc
[12:33] <Nagware> they are nice chinese machines
[12:33] <dr_willis> Legal from who? Ubuntu is free to use.
[12:33] <dr_willis> see the gpl.

[13:14] <stickyboy> I am having problems removing linux kernels using apt-get or dpkg, etc.  The process seems to hang at zz-update-grub, and I can't control C or anything...
[13:16] <MrsB> Will123456: you could try xev and make sure it creates an event when you press it. Beyond that Im stumped though sorry.
[13:16] <Sidewinder1> stickyboy, Have you tried removing old kernels in Synaptic?
[13:18] <Will123456> MrsB: i have no idea what xev is, but I'll take a look - thanks!
[13:19] <MrsB> Will123456: It just shows whats going on behind the scenes.
[13:19] <Will123456> MrsB: running it now - it could well help. thanks

[13:20] <dhruvasagar> Hi guys, I had been using tomboy with sshfs to sync the notes with my server, I had got it setup fine and it was working previously, but it seems that post the upgrade to 10.10 it is just not working anymore, when I try to configure the synchronization it gives me connection errors. The SSH keys etc are all working great, but tomboy doesn't.

[13:21] <villa> I want a BansheeMediaPlayer running ico on the right of the top panel, how to get it?
[13:21] <testtube> Hi
[13:21] <dhruvasagar> tyreza: hello
[13:21] <Adasz> hello, i have connected to my fritzbox a HDD and aktivated the media Server. how can i use it with ubuntu?
[13:22] <dhruvasagar> villa: doesn't it have an icon already ? It used to. You should check the preferences. If not that, the last resort for you is to use 'alltray' application to achieve the same.
[13:22] <dhruvasagar> Adasz: what problems are you facing while trying to use it with Ubuntu ?
[13:22] <Deesl> I am trying to install an Ubuntu server domU on a Gentoo dom0, I can boot up from the CD fine, but after the installer runs, its unable to find the CDROM. What could I be doing wrong?
[13:23] <Adasz> dhruvasagar, i dont now any programm that can use it
[13:23] <villa> dhruvasagar, thanks anyway. I will try
[13:24] <tyreza> i can't install cacti
[13:24] <Pici> tyreza: Why not?
[13:24] <tyreza> this what i got as error :
[13:24] <adubz> does anyone know an archive tool for linux that will create an archive and then apply a password to it in .zip format???
[13:25] <Deesl> any help for me?
[13:25] <Pici> adubz: zip
[13:25] <adubz> pici there is an archive tool called zip
[13:25] <adubz> is it command line
[13:25] <tyreza> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638891/
[13:25] <Sidewinder1> !ask | Deesl
[13:25] <tyreza> this is the error when trying to install cacti
[13:26] <tyreza> Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/638891/
[13:26] <adubz> k there is just searched is it command line and will it put files in zip format with password
[13:26] <Pici> adubz: Yes, just check the manpage.
[13:27] <Pici> tyreza: Can you run that again, but do: LANG=C sudo apt-get install cacti-cactid
[13:27] <UbuntNetArg> hello
[13:27] <tyreza> i have to add LANG=C in front of apt ?
[13:28] <dhruvasagar> tyreza: did you try installing again ? Did it give you some different error ? you might want to try sudo apt-get -f install
[13:28] <Pici> tyreza: That will put it in english so that I can understand the output better.
[13:28] <Adasz^> dhruvasagar, sorry i lost the internet connection
[13:29] <dhruvasagar> Pici: don't you use google chrome ? it automatically recognizes if a page uses a different language and asks you to translate :)
[13:29] <tyreza> okay here is the error in ENG http://paste.ubuntu.com/638892/
[13:29] <UbuntNetArg> how can i search for libraries files from ubuntu ? I tried using the Software center, but I couldn't
[13:29] <dhruvasagar> Adasz^: it's ok, I didn't provide much more help, are you unable to mount the HDD ?
[13:29] <tyreza> i try several time to autoremove and réinstall same error dhruvasagar
[13:29] <tyreza> several time
[13:29] <dhruvasagar> UbuntNetArg: what do you mean you couldn't ? You can use `apt-cache search` to search, I generally prefer `aptitude search`
[13:30] <Pici> dhruvasagar: I do, but it didn't and it doesn't always work great for technical output like that.
[13:30] <Adasz^> dhruvasagar, i am able to mount the hdd but i dont know any programm with that i can use the media server funktion of the fritzbox
[13:30] <dhruvasagar> Pici: yea it did destroy the formatting, but I managed
[13:30] <UbuntNetArg> ahhh from the terminal

[13:31] <Pici> tyreza: Can you pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy cacti-cactid   please?
[13:31] <UbuntNetArg> dhruvasagar:  apt-cache and aptitude search are very different? Sorry if is a silly quiestion
[13:32] <Abhijit> ChaosSaber, just delete it? and install windows in that space
[13:32] <myrmidette> my sound card has stopped being recognized, can anyone help?
[13:32] <UbuntNetArg> BluesKaj:  Thanks
[13:32] <ChaosSaber> well it's just going to be my backup drive again, but wasn't sure since linux uses a diff file system
[13:32] <extraclassic> UbuntNetArg: i use aptitude search because it'll tell if the package is installed or not

[13:32] <Roth> Hello
[13:32] <tyreza> here is the policy http://paste.ubuntu.com/638895/ pi
[13:33] <dhruvasagar> UbuntNetArg: well the output is different, aptitude generally shows a bit more information about the matching packages such as whether the package has already been installed or not, I find that useful, not sure if apt-cache could be used to show that, but by default aptitude does so I prefer it
[13:33] <tyreza> ci
[13:33] <Roth> Can I update ubuntu through the internet without downloading the new version?
[13:33] <Abhijit> Deesl, try in #ubuntu-server
[13:33] <Deesl> so anyone has any idea about why Ubuntu installer is unable to find a CDROM after it has booted off it in a domU?
[13:33] <tzhuang> Any gosu irssi users out there want to lend a noobie a hand? Please msg me.
[13:33] <Deesl> Abhijit: okay
[13:33] <extraclassic> UbuntNetArg: i think apt-cache searches title and description, but aptitude search is just for the title
[13:33] <Pici> tzhuang: Try #irssi
[13:33] <Roth> Or would I have to download the whole OS then update from the CD?
[13:33] <Abhijit> Roth, yes. both update and upgrade can be done through interent
[13:33] <tzhuang> Pici: much thanks!
[13:34] <Roth> Abhijit, how would I do it?
[13:34] <Pici> tyreza: Thanks, can you now pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:34] <dhruvasagar> Roth: you can upgrade ubuntu
[13:34] <Abhijit> Roth, you want the latest updates to the system and all software installed there OR you want to 'upgrade' the ubuntu to next version?

[13:36] <Pici> tyreza: You have repositories intended for dapper (6.06) in your sources.list. I'm surprised that more things haven't broken.  Please remove those, and run apt-get update and then the package name is just 'cacti'
[13:37] <NielsMkn> hey guys
[13:37] <extraclassic> DynamicFail: you can use ethtool
[13:37] <dhruvasagar> Abhijit: :)
[13:37] <tyreza> remove what ?

[13:38] <dhruvasagar> myrmidette: stopped ? that implies that it was working, what changed in your system ?

[13:39] <NielsMkn> erm Abhijit, were you referring to me?
[13:39] <bazhang> villa, it needs to be installed use apt-get
[13:39] <Abhijit> Nielsen, oh yes
[13:39] <myrmidette> dhruvasagar, I messed with alsa/pulseaudio to enable a bt headset. I got it working, then rebooted, and now sound doesn't work at all
[13:39] <Abhijit> aaah
[13:39] <villa> thanks bazhang
[13:39] <myrmidette> aplay -l returns no sound cards
[13:39] <Abhijit> NielsMkn, oh yesss!!!!
[13:39] <NielsMkn> hehe :P
[13:40] <dhruvasagar> tyreza: you could do ':14,$g/dapper/d' in vim to do that :)
[13:40] <DynamicFail> Anyone know what could cause my linux box to be downloading much slower than everything else on my network... ~1 Mb/sec for other machines... ~8kB/s for my linux box. I just checked and it is set to 1000Mb/full
[13:40] <NielsMkn> anyways, I did check that, but they don't store the mouse combinations
[13:40] <Abhijit> oh. my bad. its mouse combinatioon
[13:41] <NielsMkn> so any idea how to fix it?
[13:41] <dhruvasagar> myrmidette: ahhh alsa/pulseaudio has given me quite a few nightmares, but I am not sure I know it enough to help here, you should probably ask again :)
[13:41] <MrsB> DynamicFail: check your router log, you might find it is firewalling you
[13:41] <Deesl> no one has installed ubuntu server in a domU here?
[13:41] <myrmidette>  I messed with alsa/pulseaudio to enable a bt headset. I got it working, then rebooted, and now sound doesn't work at all. aplay -l returns no sound cards, but lspci -v recognizes it.
[13:42] <dhruvasagar> Deesl: I don't even know what a domU is :)

[13:42] <dhruvasagar> madPJKfan: what do you mean trick ? guvcview is a software that has very good support for many many cameras
[13:43] <Abhijit> Deesl, try on #httpd
[13:43] <nightrid3r> madPJKfan you could ask in #v4l they are experts on all video and cam related stuff
[13:43] <dhruvasagar> Deesl: na I am actually serious :)
[13:43] <tebo> im  not sleepign no no....but I cant help..im useless...
[13:43] <NielsMkn> hmm thanks
[13:43] <Pici> Abhijit: The question isn't related to that channel..

[14:17] <bbeck> I was wondering if anyone using Gnome3 from the PPAs has figured out how to get their network manager not to be the ugly old one?
[14:17] <perlsyntax> i was worry how can i tell if my laptop had a broadcom wireless card?
[14:17] <astraljava> perlsyntax: Try to lose some characters until you start seeing something.
[14:17] <ZykoticK9> !gnome3 | bbeck
[14:17] <Pici> tzhuang: Normally I just install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, if you can spare the bandwidth, its the best way to get things going.
[14:18] <perlsyntax> astraljava,How can i tell if i have a broadcom wireless or tell what driver my wireless card need?
[14:18] <astraljava> perlsyntax: Try `lspci | grep -i lan`
[14:18] <ZykoticK9> bbeck, honestly, if you want Gnome3 you should consider using Fedora - Ubuntu/Canonical doesn't supply what you want.
[14:18] <bbeck> Yeah I know, I'm typically a KDE user, I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
[14:18] <perlsyntax> My wireless card is not on is that why i can tell what my wireless card is?
[14:19] <perlsyntax> i hope someone can help me.
[14:19] <bazhang> lspci perlsyntax
[14:19] <pgold36> in 11.04 and gnome is there a way to rename the workspaces?
[14:19] <astraljava> perlsyntax: I don't know, for some reason mine doesn't want to be switched off. Can you try to set it on, and then run that command?
[14:20] <perlsyntax> it is on
[14:20] <perlsyntax> everything work but the wireless card it a built in one
[14:20] <astraljava> perlsyntax: Just a minute ago you said it is _not_ on. If it now is, then run the command I mentioned two minutes ago.

[14:23] <AlexDevilLX> gbili: Binary virus for instance?
[14:23] <Pici> gbili: ##security would probably be a better place to ask
[14:23] <gbili> astraljava, no you are right, but i dont know where to ask that
[14:23] <gbili> Pici, ok
[14:24] <bazhang> tayters, why do you need to change workspaces (gui) via the cli
[14:24] <tayters> bazhang, so that I can do this sort of thing programmatically.
[14:24] <edbian> tayters: wmctrl
[14:24] <gbili> AlexDevilLX, ok i'll check binary virus
[14:24] <AlexDevilLX> =)
[14:24] <perlsyntax> How do i paste it now?

[14:40] <hdd> Hello All, I installed xrdp and it works fine on the first time i try it, when I try it again it doesn't work
[14:40] <tzhuang> Can anyone help me get youtube working in Chrome on Ubuntu 11.04?

[14:41] <hdd> I need help with xrdp (remote desktop)?
[14:42] <buren> anybody having any experience monitoring which applications are using bandwidth?
[14:42] <jpds> buren: ntop?
[14:43] <jpds> buren: iftop is also good.
[14:44] <Pici> buren: nethogs is handy too
[14:44] <vlt> buren: iftop is great but you don't see which process causes the traffic. You'd have to look up the port number in "netstat -anp" and then "ps" ...
[14:45] <Pici> vlt: nethogs will show process information, but it doesn't has as much information as iftop
[14:47] <hdd> can anyone help me with xrdp remote desktop?
[14:47] <venol> Excusme, I'm install mail server with postfix on ubuntu server 10.4, for monitoring I'm use mailgraph and pflogsumm, But when I test to send 2 email with periodic within 5 menit, why mailgraph just counted 2 email? thanks for your help

[14:58] <alexleon> its an all in one printer
[14:58] <alexleon> i love it :)
[14:59] <sipior> txwikinger: likely because the plugin you have installed is for FF4.
[14:59] <alexleon> i want to scan something -.- help me
[14:59] <alexleon> nd i dont wanna go to windows just for that
[14:59] <bazhang> alexleon, what version of ubuntu
[14:59] <alexleon> 11.04
[15:00] <txwikinger> sipior: well.. is there a FF5 plugin in the repo?
[15:00] <coz_> txwikinger,  reinstall ubuntu restricted extras
[15:00] <bazhang> alexleon, try simplescan and see if it is detected
[15:00] <sipior> txwikinger: i wasn't aware FF5 itself was in the repositories. is that true?
[15:00] <sipior> i mean, i imagine there's a ppa...
[15:00] <txwikinger> sipior: yes it is
[15:00] <sipior> txwikinger: the supported repositories?
[15:00] <alexleon> baz ok brb
[15:00] <bazhang> sipior, security update yep
[15:01] <sipior> i see, thank you.
[15:01] <txwikinger> I think.. I don't think I have anything else in the sources
[15:01] <venol> sipior: I'm using amavis for milter
[15:01] <coz_> txwikinger,  go to this page   http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/  and see if it says  it is up to date
[15:01] <alexleon> where do i find simplescan?
[15:01] <bazhang> !info firefox
[15:02] <bazhang> alexleon, applications--->graphics
[15:02] <sipior> bazhang: it's all right, i believed you :-)
[15:02] <bazhang> sipior, :)
[15:02] <alexleon> no scanners detected
[15:02] <KAM> Any idea which driver under ubuntu is the guest additions driver ? Is this even a single driver or a driver per an addition ?
[15:02] <txwikinger> FF5 is in natty-updates and natty-security
[15:03] <venol> sipior: mybe the log is very long, I just want know, why mailgraph is not update the last mail? I', often test mailgraph, and always not update last mail. what's wrong ? thanks.
[15:03] <bazhang> alexleon, could be it does not work. some of the all in one do not
[15:03] <alexleon> :(
[15:03] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners   alexleon check here
[15:03] <alexleon> yo can i try to add the scanner just like i did with the printer?
[15:04] <alexleon> cuz i cant find add scanner or something
[15:04] <bazhang> alexleon, check tha t link
[15:04] <coz_> txwikinger,  also there is a plugin for firefox named   flash-aid    install that and it should update or change the plugin if nothning else works
[15:04] <Python> what's the difference between purge and remove
[15:04] <sipior> venol: i'm not really familiar with mailgraph. do the logs indicate that the messages you sent were in fact queued and sent?
[15:04] <alexleon> k
[15:04] <bazhang> Python, man apt-get
[15:04] <txwikinger> I try adode-flashplugin instead of flashplugin-nonfree
[15:05] <txwikinger> coz_: The test said there was an old plugin that was disabled.
[15:05] <txwikinger> however, the version numbers are the same, which is the odd thing
[15:05] <coz_> txwikinger,  ok  then install  flash-aid firefox plugin  or  open   synaptic   hit search  type in ubuntu restricted and mark for complet removal   then research for that same thing and install again
[15:06] <venol> sipior: Yes, I have check it. this is the log : Jul  5 08:04:19 mail postfix/smtp[7796]: 105E4217A0: to=<arif@indra.com>, orig_to=<eca@fadil.com>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=0.33, delays=0.01/0/0.02/0.3, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok, id=06411-10, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 51450217A4)
[15:06] <zappus> hello everyone
[15:06] <zappus> i have a question about installung ubuntu if someone could help
[15:06] <venol> sipior: Or maybe some body can help me? why mailgraph is not updating the last mail?
[15:07] <zappus> i try bootr my livecd on my 2nd laptop and it shows the inital loading screen and then it freezes
[15:07] <sipior> venol: could be a bug in mailgraph, i suppose. or perhaps it's not doing what you think it's doing. you've double-checked the documentation?
[15:07] <bazhang> zappus, ask the channel
[15:07] <zappus> how is that?
[15:07] <dyd> hi, i've downloaded and compiled an application (Stellarium), but how can i run the application? i mean, i've searched the application, and found it in "/proc/2333/cwd/builds/unix/src", if i type "stellarium" it won't start
[15:07] <bazhang> zappus, md5 the iso then reburn slowly and do the disk integrity check
[15:07] <bazhang> !md5 | zappus
[15:07] <guntbert> zappus: did you check if the image was ok before burning it?
[15:07] <bazhang> !hashes > zappus
[15:08] <zappus> i tried booting up every distro i have but every distro got stuck
[15:08] <bazhang> zappus, then follow what I just said
[15:08] <venol> sipior: Hmm, maybe it is not bug. I Think I'm make mistake or anything explain about the problem with mailgraph
[15:08] <zappus> !hashes?
[15:08] <sipior> dyd: you compiled it, and installed it where? (stellarium is also in the repositories, i'm fairly certain, which might be simpler for you)
[15:09] <bazhang> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM zappus
[15:09] <zappus> but the problem is not with corruption of iso
[15:09] <peterhil`> Why bash ignores dots when sorting?!?!? WTF?
[15:09] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes zappus
[15:09] <zappus> i installed ubuntu on my main computer 2 days ago from same cd
[15:09] <peterhil`> What heresy is this?
[15:09] <peterhil`> :-)
[15:09] <bazhang> zappus, then try bootoptions
[15:10] <bazhang> !bootoptions | zappus
[15:10] <sabgenton> is there any way to identify a hardrive not by it's cable position?

[15:12] <sarahh> I'm using ubuntu 11.04 and a Razer DeathAdder mouse. I've used the mouse in other distros perfectly but now it happens that randomly after some time it will start to act buggy and click things things by itself, I have to unplug it and plug it back. Any idea what could be going wrong?
[15:12] <peterhil`> sipior: Thanks, will check
[15:12] <bazhang> sabgenton, sudo blkid?
[15:12] <bazhang> !blkid | sabgenton this?
[15:13] <srelont> helloo..i have a problem with krusader...who can help me?
[15:13] <sabgenton> bazhang: what if it's a zeroed drive
[15:13] <bazhang> sabgenton, I dont know, what does that show
[15:13] <zappus> is it possible that an antivirus installed on windows drive might be blocking the boot of a live-cd distro?
[15:14] <sabgenton> bazhang: blkid looks at partions not disks does it not?
[15:14] <BedMan> zappus: doubtful
[15:14] <bazhang> zappus, did you check the bootoptions link?
[15:14] <tzhuang> Can anyone help me get youtube working in Chrome on Ubuntu 11.04?
[15:14] <tzhuang> I have falshplugins and ubuntu-restricted-extras installed.
[15:14] <zappus> !bootoptions
[15:14] <zappus> i couldnt figure out where to tpye it :P
[15:14] <x32324f> hello, is there any archive extractor with dual core support on linux ?
[15:14] <zappus> as stupid of me as thjat might sound
[15:15] <Wiallim> BedMan: yes. I know. but I want to know that about piped. If the father shell created two child process.
[15:15] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions zappus check there
[15:16] <BedMan> Wiallim: yes, the shell fork's and execs each command, and links the stdout of the first to the stdin of the second, and stdout of the 2nd to the shell's stdout
[15:17] <beli> x32324f: 7zip
[15:18] <zappus> ok, what should i look for in my current livecd in bootoptions?
[15:18] <x32324f> thanks beli
[15:18] <zappus> does a different hardware spec need different boot options?
[15:18] <tzhuang> Can anyone help me get youtube working in Chrome on Ubuntu 11.04?
[15:18] <tzhuang> I have falshplugins and ubuntu-restricted-extras installed.
[15:18] <bazhang> zappus, which have you tried
[15:19] <zappus> the default ones
[15:19] <sipior> tzhuang: chrome comes with its own flash plugin, as i recall. what happens if you point your browser to about:plugins ?
[15:19] <Wiallim> BedMan: if  the father-shell process first created piped then create the two child process?
[15:19] <zappus> it froze by the time loading of CPU0 started
[15:20] <BedMan> Wiallim: no process is required for the pipe itself - that's just a representation of where the file descriptors are getting set durring execution.
[15:21] <subin> Is any one uses Thin Clint on ubuntu ..will ,please share your knowledge to configure this server
[15:21] <maco> subin: #ubuntu-server may be better. i do have Thin on my webserver, but its as part of Diaspora, so they included all the config files i needed
[15:22] <Wiallim> BedMan: who create the pipe?
[15:22] <tzhuang> sipior: I'm not sure what you mean by point my browser to about:plugins.
[15:22] <sipior> tzhuang: type "about:plugins" in the address bar.
[15:22] <genii-around> subin: There is also an #ltsp channel, not very many people but fairly knowledgeable
[15:23] <tzhuang> sipior: it says I have flash
[15:23] <Wiallim> Bedman: sorry: Who is created the pipe?
[15:24] <tzhuang> sipior: Flash(2 files) - Version: 10.3.181
[15:24] <sipior> tzhuang: the details button will show more useful information
[15:24] <tzhuang> sipior: Do you need me to paste you the detailed information for the flash plugin?
[15:24] <Wiallim> Bedman: Be created by Shell that pipe?
[15:25] <sipior> tzhuang: if you like. please use a pastebin, though.
[15:26] <Wiallim> Bedman: Are you in there?
[15:26] <tzhuang> sipior: I'm new to both irc and irssi. What is a pastebin?
[15:26] <sipior> !pastebin > tzhuang
[15:27] <Wiallim> tzhuang: Can you tell me what is irssi please?
[15:27] <aeon-ltd> Wiallim: a irc client in cli
[15:27] <Wiallim> thanks
[15:28] <bazhang> Wiallim, irc client cli
[15:28] <Wiallim> thanks
[15:28] <BedMan> Wiallim: sorry - afk a sec... a pipe isn't created - it's just a connection between processes
[15:29] <BedMan> Wiallim: a concept, really, not an actual process or anything
[15:30] <tzhuang> sipior: hmm not too sure if this is what the instructions meant
[15:30] <tzhuang> sipior: !pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/638930/
[15:30] <sipior> tzhuang: that's it, thank you (no need for the "!pastebinit", though :-)
[15:31] <tzhuang> sipior: haha okay thanks

[15:32] <sipior> tzhuang: can you disable the plugin located at "/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so"? there should be a button located below the entry.

[15:33] <dirtycookie> hello guys, i just made a usb installer for my eeePC and im kinda "stuck" in the main menu where I can choose whether to run Xubuntu (alternate installer) from USB or start the installer. I always get bach to the main menu when I choose either one of them
[15:33] <BedMan> Wiallim: afk == away from keyboard
[15:33] <Wiallim> Bedman: thanks a lot
[15:33] <BedMan> Wiallim: I don't understand your question - pipes are a shell concept - and implemented as I stated above
[15:33] <tzhuang> sipior: okay i disabled it? do i need to restart browser?
[15:33] <sipior> tzhuang: please.

[15:36] <DolbyS> hi all... i've buyed an ubuntu vps.. i want install a psybnc on it but... gcc is not in the server... and apt get not found... how i can solve?
[15:37] <Belial_> DolbyS: Is that apt-get your typing?
[15:37] <Pici> DolbyS: What release of Ubuntu is it running?
[15:37] <DolbyS> [root@server ~]# apt-get update
[15:37] <DolbyS> -bash: apt-get: command not found
[15:37] <Belial_> DolbyS: What does the command "lsb_release -a" return
[15:38] <Wiallim> BedMan: thanks very much> What are you from?
[15:38] <DolbyS> Ubuntu 10.10 64-BIT
[15:38] <sipior> tzhuang: hmm. you might consider trying this: http://whatan00b.com/enabling-flash-in-chrome-on-ubuntu-10-04
[15:38] <BedMan> Wiallim: Denver, CO, USA
[15:38] <sipior> tzhuang: you got chrome from the ubuntu repository, i guess?
[15:38] <DolbyS> [root@server ~]# lsb_release -a
[15:38] <DolbyS> -bash: lsb_release: command not found
[15:38] <sktn07> would anyone tell me : why in command "ls /bin" shows something( like su , mount ...) highlighted?
[15:39] <maco> sktn07: i think red means its a broken symlink
[15:39] <Wiallim> Bedman: really> That great. I like USA.
[15:39] <Milossh> sktn07, they may be links, folders, files...
[15:39] <BedMan> sktn07: because of the COLORDIR settings - look at the ls manpage
[15:39] <sipior> sktn07: those binaries have the setuid bit set.
[15:39] <Belial_> DolbyS: if you type: /usr/bin/apt-get do you get any output? maybe you have a broken path
[15:39] <maco> sktn07: nevermind
[15:40] <DolbyS> Belial_ [root@server ~]# /usr/bin/apt-get
[15:40] <DolbyS> -bash: /usr/bin/apt-get: No such file or directory
[15:40] <Milossh> DolbyS, what about aptitude?
[15:40] <maco> oooh broken symlinks are red text + dark background, not the reverse
[15:40] <tzhuang> sipior: ummmm i acutally dont remember. it hink i just googled chrome for ubuntu on ffx and took the first link
[15:40] <Halfway> Hello everyone
[15:40] <Belial_> DolbyS: does "yum" return anything?
[15:40] <maco> sipior: chromium-browser is the package
[15:40] <BedMan> Belial_: that's YUMmy ;p
[15:40] <Milossh> Belial_, lol
[15:41] <sipior> maco: yes, i know.
[15:41] <Belial_> :D
[15:41] <sktn07> sipior: what you mean by setuid bit set?
[15:41] <qin> DolbyS: apt should be in sbin?
[15:41] <tzhuang> sipior: i'll try the instructions on the link and see how it plays out. thanks!
[15:41] <DolbyS> Belial_; [root@server ~]# yum
[15:41] <DolbyS> Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
[15:41] <DolbyS> You need to give some command
[15:41] <DolbyS> usage: yum [options] COMMAND
[15:41] <sipior> tzhuang: best of luck. consider also installing the version from the ubuntu repositories.
[15:41] <DolbyS> and after all the comand
[15:42] <Wiallim> BedMan: but i'm not have ever been to USA.
[15:42] <Belial_> DolbyS: Bingo, your have likley a fedora/centos VPS, not ubuntu
[15:42] <klingelbart> how can i see, wich useres are in this chatroom?
[15:42] <Milossh> DolbyS, are you on fedora?
[15:42] <sipior> sktn07: have a look at the chmod man page.
[15:42] <Belial_> DolbyS: Looks like your provider mixed something up :)
[15:42] <BedMan> klingelbart: /users
[15:42] <DolbyS> i dont now... i've buyed a Operating System (OpenVZ): Ubuntu 10.10 64-BIT
[15:42] <BedMan> klingelbart: or /names
[15:42] <Milossh> DolbyS, what does `uname -a` output?
[15:43] <dirtycookie> hello guys, i just made a usb installer for my eeePC and im kinda "stuck" in the main menu where I can choose whether to run Xubuntu (alternate installer) from USB or start the installer. I always get bach to the main menu when I choose either one of them
[15:43] <Belial_> DolbyS: I would go back to your provider and confirm things with them, as yum is usually only installed on fedora/rhel based machines, though possible on ubuntu
[15:43] <klingelbart> doen't work
[15:43] <DolbyS> [root@server ~]# uname -a
[15:43] <DolbyS> Linux server.marklenders.com 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.028stab091.1 #1 SMP Wed Jun 1 13:20:25 MSD 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[15:43] <BedMan> Milossh: read the man page on it - it's supposed to give information about your kernel and a few other details
[15:43] <Wiallim> Everyone bey> GOOD LUCK. :)
[15:43]  * sktn07 thank you everyone
[15:43] <Belial_> DolbyS: el5, CentOS or the like
[15:44] <Milossh> BedMan, I asked dolbys
[15:44] <klingelbart> how can i see, wich useres are in this chatroom? /names or /users doesn't work
[15:44] <sktn07> uiyt, ping
[15:44] <netgene> Hi.. how can I specifically install php version 5.3.2 ?
[15:44] <Pici> klingelbart: It depends on your IRC client.
[15:44] <BedMan> klingelbart: what IRC client are you using?
[15:44] <DolbyS> i can install gcc with yum comand?
[15:44] <klingelbart> Pici: empathy
[15:44] <netgene> I am trying with apt-get and several repos, but it seems it only installs arbitrartely the one it wants.
[15:44] <klingelbart> BedMan: empathy
[15:44] <Pici> DolbyS: you aren't running Ubuntu there. You need to talk to your VPS provider.
[15:45] <BedMan> klingelbart: I've never used that - I use irssi, because it's simpler :)
[15:45] <Belial_> DolbyS: You can, but be aware you do not have an Ubuntu VPS, It looks to be a CentOS system, a free rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
[15:45] <DolbyS> :(

[15:51] <ActionParsnip> dirtycookie: did you MD5 test the ISO you transferred?

[15:52] <werwaffel> well im online via Cable now
[15:52] <dirtycookie> ActionParsnip: from this angle everything is ok
[15:52] <werwaffel> thats working... but not a good solution at my home
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> dirtycookie: did you test it though?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: are you fully updated?
[15:53] <werwaffel> i use Ubuntu 11.04
[15:53] <dirtycookie> ActionParsnip:the image is ok
[15:53] <werwaffel> and searched for avaiable drivers
[15:53] <dirtycookie> installation to the usb stick went fine
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[15:53] <werwaffel> okay i try
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> dirtycookie: how did you make the USB device?
[15:53] <Ozik> any one tried hardware raid 0?
[15:54] <xixor> qin: Here is my .bashrc file, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1781062/bashrc
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> Ozik: in redhat I've done raid 10 in hardware
[15:55] <Ozik> actionparsnip: I have hw Raid0 so GRUB2 won't install, need to do manually, BUT I can't get into root partition
[15:55] <Ozik> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638935/
[15:55] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: Should i do apt-get update AND apt-get -y update? or just one?
[15:55] <xixor> qin: locale appears to be en_US.UTF-8
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: both, it will get you fully updated in terminal
[15:55] <werwaffel> oke
[15:57] <artrins> have a bug under Krusader...if i want to enter in root mode it say "Cannot execute mode..."...how can i solve that?
[15:57] <werwaffel> i'm going to try if i can get a connection...
[15:57] <qin> xixor: Is it your server bashrc?
[15:57] <netgene> So.. anyone.. how can I install specific versions of php...  I need 5.3.2 specifically under Ubuntu 10.10
[15:58] <qin> xixor: also echo $SHELL
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> Ozik: I didn't setup the array or the initial OS but I set some of it up. As far as I know its a bootable card but I'm not 100% sure
[15:59] <klingelbart> I'm using Unity. is it possible that the options of a program like Edit or Help are no longer in the upper panel but on the top of the window itself?
[16:00] <xixor> qin: echo $SHELL returns "cygwin", I am logging into the ubuntu computer from a cygwin shell on a windows machine
[16:00] <xixor> qin: ah, I think the default shell is sh not bash
[16:01] <Ozik> ActionParsnip: As I know GRUB2 should be installed on normal disk, like in Raid1, and raid 0 is stripped, it stops after 50% of installation and tell me that I need to do it manual
[16:03] <xixor> qin: I just used chsh to change the shell to bash and now the keyboard works fine... thanks for the help

[16:04] <Python> where can i get drivers for gma hd ?
[16:04] <artrins> have a bug under Krusader...if i want to enter in root mode it say "Cannot execute mode..."...how can i solve that?
[16:05] <werwaffel> no my WLAN is always connecting and connecting and theres after some time a window where i have to type in my Key
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> Python: intel video drivers are in a standard in stall
[16:06] <Pici> netgene: The Ubuntu repositories don't hold packages that go back that far for that release.  Why can't you use 5.3.3?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: Just after you get that, run:  dmesg | tail    what is output
[16:06] <guntbert> update manager all of a sudden waits for me to acknowledge the change log (of some packages at least), for this I have to open "details" and press q. Where could I have set this? (aka Where can I turn it off again?)
[16:06] <Pici> guntbert: Did you install apt-listchanges?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: the password is your keyring password, sounds like the link is dropping then reconnecting
[16:06] <qin> werwaffel: first, change you network to open, and try to connect, if this not good, check ip table of router, and try to connect with iwconfig.
[16:07] <werwaffel> change network to open? so deactivating the protection of the router?
[16:07] <werwaffel> sry i was windows user -> so noob ;)
[16:07] <qin> werwaffel: temporarly
[16:07] <werwaffel> okay
[16:07] <werwaffel> and then try to connect?
[16:07] <guntbert> Pici: yes, I did :-/, so that is standard behaviour with that package?
[16:07] <qin> werwaffel: Also reset dhcp lease.
[16:08] <Pici> guntbert: Yes. You can change it using dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges or just remove the package.
[16:08] <guntbert> Pici: thx
[16:08] <werwaffel> ah .. well it is working on Windows (i still have installed it)... so i dont think it the problem could be at the router
[16:09] <werwaffel> and my Gateway doesnt work :/
[16:09] <qin> werwaffel: No, but from time to time there is problem on lan, one machine can successfully block another, thats partly dhcp problem.
[16:10] <werwaffel> hmm :/
[16:10] <werwaffel> okay reset dhcp lease... could you please tell me how? :/
[16:10] <qin> werwaffel: Did you lod to router?
[16:10] <qin> *log
[16:11] <werwaffel> the gateway log tells me that i dont connected to router... huh? i'm connected to the router now
[16:12] <werwaffel> i dont connect to router*
[16:12] <blackout> can someone tell me if there is a cmd to see how many files are in the database like the msg when uninstalling with synaptic
[16:13] <qin> werwaffel: what ip have eth0 in: ifconfig
[16:13] <werwaffel> 192.168.178.30
[16:14] <werwaffel> eth0
[16:14] <qin> werwaffel: looks starange, can you: ping google.co.uk
[16:15] <werwaffel> yes
[16:15] <werwaffel> ping does work
[16:15] <qin> werwaffel: traceroute google.co.uk, 1. is your router ip, put it in browser.
[16:16] <werwaffel> okay first how can i stop ping?

[16:17] <werwaffel> oh ok

[16:18] <werwaffel> !tab
[16:18] <werwaffel> @qin: You mean the gateway, dont?
[16:18] <TrD> any idea ?

[16:19] <werwaffel> @qin: yes
[16:19] <werwaffel> @qin: I Put it in my browser
[16:20] <qin> werwaffel: Open this ip in browser, log in and find dhcp settings or home network.
[16:20] <TimothyA> I have a question; how do I change the password of my root account on a remote box?
[16:20] <TimothyA> I barely had the time to secure it down and it already got hacked o.O
[16:21] <Pici> TimothyA: We don't support having a root password set, you should be securing it with sudo.
[16:21] <qin> TimothyA: disable root login
[16:21] <TimothyA> ....
[16:21] <TimothyA> so then how do I do root actions from now on if I can't log in as root in the first place?
[16:21] <Pici> TimothyA: Use sudo.
[16:21] <TimothyA> Pici: i was in the progress of securing it!
[16:21] <TimothyA> THERE IS NO SUDO
[16:21] <qin> TimothyA: If you got owned, rebuild server
[16:21] <TimothyA> ....
[16:21] <Pici> TimothyA: why not?
[16:21] <TimothyA> IT'S BEEN FIVE MINUTES
[16:22] <Pici> TimothyA: Please lose the caps.
[16:22] <qin> TimothyA: What program?
[16:22] <TimothyA> ...
[16:22] <TimothyA> program?!
[16:22] <TimothyA> PROGRAM!?
[16:22] <Pici> TimothyA: stop
[16:22] <FloodBot1> TimothyA: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:22] <qin> TimothyA: Sorry.
[16:22] <Pici> TimothyA: The root account is not normally enabled nor does it have a password set by default.
[16:23] <TimothyA> Pici: then I'm wondering why it was in the first place
[16:23] <TimothyA> and I need to recover the account
[16:23] <Pici> TimothyA: I see that you're using linode, I'm on one too right now.  VPSes often use custom setups by default.
[16:23] <TimothyA> unfortunately, this is not a linode
[16:24] <TimothyA> it's a dedicated server at leaseweb
[16:24] <TimothyA> I can boot into rescue mode, would that help with anything?
[16:24] <Saiyan> Hi guys. I have installed Natty using Wubi installer and am sharing a folder on the host computer. I used Samba to share it on the network and have allowed guest access.  There are some users who can access my folder from a windows computer, but other's can't see the folder at all. Do you think that's something on my end or the other computer?
[16:25] <Pici> TimothyA: I'm not sure how much that is going to help you. If you are already comprimised, there is no telling what malicious things are lurking on there now.
[16:25] <TimothyA> I doubt he could have done anything in 2 seconds
[16:26] <TimothyA> I still don't know how he managed to bruteforce a 256 long character password in the first place
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: sounds like DNS to me. If you run:  gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf   delete all the text and add:   nameserver 8.8.8.8    save the new file, then try web browsing :)
[16:26] <Pici> TimothyA: Anyway, if you boot from recovery mode you should be able to change your root password.  You then can work on securing it properly.
[16:26] <qin> TimothyA: Fisrt think is to get all logs to review situation.
[16:26] <Pici> TimothyA: That does sound fishy.
[16:27] <sweb> i want just update one package and not want to install all updates. apt-get upgrade XXX not work ? what'is correct  command
[16:27] <Pici> sweb: apt-get install XXX
[16:27] <werwaffel> !tab ActionParsnip are you sure i shoukd do this?
[16:27] <Pici> werwaffel: Don't put !tab in front of your messages.
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: yes, the file is generated ny network manager at boot, we can make the change permanent if it works
[16:28] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: im not the only user in my network... and i dont want to interrupt the other users :/
[16:28] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: hmm okay

[16:30] <Ceno3x> hi guys
[16:31] <root____1> Hey, i am having some issues with ATI drivers for the millionth time, is there any way that i can completely remove ALL GFX drivers from my machine?
[16:31] <Ceno3x> does anyone know where can I get a package for kernel 2.6.39 for 11.04? i used to go to the kernel-team ppa, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working...
[16:31] <ikonia> Ceno3x: why would you want that kernel ?
[16:31] <furqan> Hi, i want to swap my CapsLock key with left control key.How can i do that in ubuntu 10.4 ?
[16:32] <qin> furqan: xbinkeys?
[16:32] <Ceno3x> ikonia: I'm having issues with virtualbox and I think it's a kernel bug
[16:32] <xangua> Ceno3x: google ubuntu kernel deb
[16:32] <xangua> and use it on your own risk
[16:32] <ikonia> Ceno3x: why ?
[16:32] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: its still not working
[16:32] <furqan> qin, what is this. sorry i'm noob?
[16:33] <Ceno3x> xangua: is 11.10 running 2.6.39? maybe I could get a package from its reps?
[16:33] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: Ubuntu is always telling me i need a permission to connect... and i have to enter my Key
[16:33] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: Then i do it
[16:33] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: And its connecting very long
[16:33] <ikonia> Ceno3x: no
[16:33] <ikonia> Ceno3x: do not do that
[16:33] <xangua> werwaffel: automatic login enabled¿
[16:33] <ikonia> Ceno3x: why do you think you have a kernel bug
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: does the dmesg output tell you anything?
[16:33] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: And it asks for permission again
[16:33] <Pici> xangua: Please don't refer people to google like that.
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: could try disabling ipv6
[16:33] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: what dmesg?
[16:34] <TimothyA> of course, it refuses to boot into rescue mode
[16:34] <qin> furqan: Application which let you maniupalate input devices, but better would be to edit keboard layout.
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: just after you re-enter the password, run:  dmesg | tail    what is output?
[16:34] <Ceno3x> ikonia: it's a medium sized explanation, are you familiar with virtualbox and how the kernel works, those kind of things?
[16:34] <ikonia> Ceno3x: yes
[16:34] <werwaffel> @ActionParsnip: I could paste it in pastebin... moment
[16:35] <furqan> qin, but how can i do that?
[16:35] <Ceno3x> Ceno3x: ok, so I was running 10.04 last week and I set up a VM with 10.04 running the xenomai kernel, and all was good
[16:35] <Ceno3x> ikonia: see above, sorry
[16:36] <ikonia> Ceno3x: I see
[16:36] <werwaffel> @ActionPasnip: http://pastebin.com/Vq7ak7ry
[16:36] <Viderize> Hello, I've been using Ubuntu for a while now (installed with wubi). Today, when I booted Ubuntu; It told me that something is corrupted/missing and told me to do 'chkdsk /r' in Windows. So I did this and rebooted to Windows and again to Ubuntu, but It gave me the same screen again.
[16:36] <Ceno3x> ikonia: now I installed kubuntu 11.04, and it's not good. I installed vbox, imported my VM, installed the latest guest additions, but my system freezes if I try to do a heavy disk operation like copying a large file, or installing a large program
[16:37] <ikonia> Ceno3x: ok, why do you think that is a kernel bug ?
[16:37] <Viderize> Also my version is 10.04 Lucid
[16:37] <Viderize> I hope I didn't lose all my data and need to reinstall ubuntu...
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: if you drop the @ symbol when addressing people, it will highlight the name like my text does to you
[16:38] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: Okay
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: http://adam.rosi-kessel.org/weblog/2008/06/21/a-much-simpler-fix-for-the-r8169-link-down-problem
[16:38] <Ceno3x> ikonia: because the only difference between ubuntu 10.04 and 11.04 from vbox's perspective is the kernel, and there's a big warning saying that due to a kernel bug running an ext4 guest on a ext4 host can cause problems. the warning was always there, but I'm only witnessing any effect now
[16:39] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: maybe some things i say sound weird... im german and im trying the best to translate good ;)
[16:39] <Viderize> I also tried looking for the c:\found.0000 But nothing was found
[16:39] <Ceno3x> ikonia: makes sense? I might be mistaken, and I hope I am, it'd be a lot less trouble for me
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> Ceno3x: then use ext3....
[16:39] <guntbert> Ceno3x: to work around that bug just enable host i/o cache for the virtual  sata controller
[16:39] <Ceno3x> guntbert: tried it, no effect
[16:40] <Ceno3x> ActionParsnip: that requires reinstalling and I'd like to avoid that
[16:40] <guntbert> Ceno3x: no, if the vm is corrupted already
[16:40] <guntbert> s/no,/not/
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> Ceno3x: may be the way forward, you can always use !clone + backups
[16:41] <Ceno3x> guntbert: I don't think there was any filesystem corruption per se, after the system freeze I loaded it again and it was like nothing hhapened
[16:41] <Syd23> ohk bye
[16:41] <Ceno3x> ActionParsnip: my problem is the custom kernel I'm running, configuring and compiling takes a while...
[16:42] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: the bug may happen when the host system is ext4 and the sata controller is used
[16:42] <sudokill> Ceno3x, look at the io schedulers maybe idk
[16:42] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: what would change if i solve the problem in the way you sent? (Sry i didnt got the text complete... more complexe english)
[16:42] <guntbert> Ceno3x: from what you tell me I suspect it is not *that* bug
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: not sure, seems to be a thing I found. Are you plugging an d unplugging the wired connection?
[16:43] <ikonia> Ceno3x: ok - so why do you think that bug is fixed in the later kernel ?
[16:43] <Ceno3x> guntbert: probably not. but it's probably a kernel thing, don't you agree?
[16:43] <Ceno3x> ikonia: there's only one way to find out...
[16:43] <ikonia> Ceno3x: and the kernel is not the only difference, the libraries that run the OS are different, the binarys that make up the virtual machine are different
[16:43] <guntbert> Ceno3x: I cannot guess :)
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> Ceno3x: could try the 3.x kernel
[16:43] <ikonia> Ceno3x: no - that's not the way to do it, updating random comre components of the OS
[16:43] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: Yes every time i try to connect via WLAN
[16:43] <koffeehaus> hi, when you have an icon set where is the ubuntu badge stored that shows up on the applications panel?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: I see, then that explains the dmesg alerts so you don't have an issue there.
[16:44] <dageriv> I have to files with lists of names, I want to see which names are missing in one of the lists. diff checks line by line, not what I need. Options?
[16:44] <dageriv> *two
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: can you give a pastebin of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; rfkill list
[16:44] <guntbert> dageriv: sort them prior to diffing...
[16:44] <Ceno3x> ikonia: indeed, it's just a hunch. that would be easily verifiable if there was a kernel package available... I was going straight to kvm, but I had that idea
[16:44] <sudokill> koffeehaus, not sure, maybe usr share icons
[16:45] <ikonia> Ceno3x: a hunch - you've not done any research on it and you want upgrade a core component of the OS
[16:45] <koffeehaus> sudokill i'm in usr/share/icons/themeN right now, but can;t find the badge
[16:45] <Ceno3x> ikonia: why are you so shocked with the idea of the upgrading the kernl?
[16:45] <ikonia> Ceno3x: there is so much more to incestigate
[16:46] <Ceno3x> ikonia: yes, but I have a thesis to write <
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: incestigate haaha
[16:46] <sudokill> Ceno3x, a lot of people use vbox with standard kernel
[16:46] <sudokill> fine
[16:46] <sudokill> :s
[16:46] <ikonia> Ceno3x: I'm not, I'm shocked at doing it randomly taking your system to an unsupported state with zero reason to believe it is the problem or the fix
[16:47] <luc_> new to linux how do i install a game on it
[16:47] <ikonia> luc_: what game do you want to install
[16:47] <Pici> Ceno3x: We can't support you installing weird kernel versions anyway. If you were to go that route, you'd be on your own.
[16:47] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/JH0eQ96r
[16:47] <luc_> big mutha trucker 2
[16:48] <ikonia> Ceno3x: I can help you with debugging to try to get to the real issue, or at least the ball park
[16:48] <sudokill> i agree, i thought the ubuntu kernel ws heavily patched?
[16:48] <ikonia> luc_: is that available for Linux
[16:48] <ikonia> sudokill: not massivly, but there are patches there
[16:48] <luc_> how do i find out
[16:48] <ikonia> luc_: go the company that provides it and see if there is a linux version
[16:48] <sudokill> luc_, its a windows game afaik you need a program called wine
[16:48] <Ceno3x> ikonia: ok, that'd be very nice of you. here's what happened. VM boots, wget 1.2gb file, the system freezes , after 5m the VM is aborted.
[16:48] <Middle> Can anyone help me out with ATI drivers?
[16:49] <ikonia> Ceno3x: so it's only the guest that locks up - not the host ?
[16:49] <Pici> luc_: Linux is not Windows, you can't just run Windows programs on Linux.
[16:49] <Pici> !appdb > luc_
[16:49] <Pici> !wine > luc_
[16:49] <Ceno3x> ikonia: the I\O operation on the guest causes the whole computer to freeze
[16:49] <sudokill> io from wget?
[16:49] <ikonia> Ceno3x: does the whole computer come back to life, or is it totally lcoked for ever ?
[16:50] <luc_> i have wine how to run it
[16:50] <ikonia> sudokill: yeah, that doesn't sound realistic
[16:50] <dee27> how u delete your old
[16:50] <Viderize> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638961/ - Anyone able to help with my problem ;_;?
[16:50] <dee27> nick from the account?
[16:50] <Pici> luc_: Check the appdb for your application.
[16:50] <Pici> !enter | dee27
[16:50] <Pici> dee27: What account? What nick?
[16:50] <Ceno3x> ikonia: after the VM is aborted automaticaly, the host returns back to life. though my touchpad stopped working normaly while my usb mouse is fine
[16:50] <dee27> on this
[16:50] <luc_> how
[16:51] <sudokill> Ceno3x, sounds like a vm problem
[16:51] <guntbert> dee27: help for using the network: in #freenode
[16:51] <Pici> luc_: Search for it here: http://appdb.winehq.org
[16:51] <sudokill> even if everything messes up with linux it shouldnt abort vbox afaik
[16:51] <Middle> I am having issues trying to restore my graphics basically. If i boot up in Ubuntu (or safe Ubuntu) i get a black screen, and i have booted up a live USB and chrooted into the linux partition, but no matter what configuration of drivers and removals i do i can't seem to get any life out of it! I have a couple of ideas as to why it might not work, but i woudl really appreciate a second opinion! Thanks : )
[16:51] <ikonia> Ceno3x: ok - so here is one suggestion to try - you believe this is a known bug between an ext4 vm and a ext4 host, change your host or your guest to ext3, or xfs and try it
[16:51] <dee27> i try to remove the old nick
[16:51] <ikonia> Ceno3x: that will guide you towards or away from that bug
[16:51] <dee27> but says im not logged in?
[16:51] <ikonia> dee27: old nick from where
[16:51] <guntbert> dee27: /join #freenode  please
[16:52] <scorchgeek> anyone know what this message means? Sound Juicer could not read the track listing on this CD.
[16:52] <scorchgeek> Reason: Cannot access CD: Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.438 was not provided by any .service files
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: ok reboot then run:   dmesg > ~/Desktop/dmesg.txt; gedit ~/Desktop/dmesg.txt    what is output?
[16:53] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: okay i'm going to reboot and make a pastebin after....   moment
[16:53] <Ceno3x> ikonia: not exactly. there's a different bug in running virtualbox on an ext4 host. I believe it may be somehow related, but it's not the same bug.  Is there any way to migrate the ext4fs to ext3 without reinstaling the whole system?
[16:54] <tilerendering> hi
[16:54] <tilerendering> ouch - my root pwd seems to be gone
[16:54] <sudokill> Ceno3x, you can mount ext4 as ext3
[16:54] <tilerendering> any idea how to recover that
[16:54] <tilerendering> ?
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> scorchgeek: may be related: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-rhythmbox-iphoneipod-sync-issues.html
[16:54] <guntbert> !root | tilerendering
[16:54] <scorchgeek> tilerendering: well, usually in ubuntu you don't have a root password...
[16:54] <Ceno3x> sudokill: really? by changing fstab? how?
[16:54] <ikonia> Ceno3x: not really,
[16:54] <ikonia> Ceno3x: it's still an ext4 file system
[16:54] <tilerendering> well but... I cant figure the pwd for sudo either :/
[16:55] <ikonia> Ceno3x: ok - lets try a different approach
[16:55] <Viderize> It's your own password
[16:55] <Pici> tilerendering: hint, its your password.
[16:55] <scorchgeek> tilerendering: it's your own
[16:55] <rww> You can only mount ext4 partitions as ext3 if they don't use extents. It's probably using extents.
[16:55] <scorchgeek> if you don't know your own password, well, that's another problem :)
[16:55] <ikonia> Ceno3x: instead of doing a wget, do something like a large file copy or an scp see if that causes the io problem you see
[16:55] <Ceno3x> ikonia: formating the drive is my last resort, my host took forever to install properly, my guest is running a custom real time kernel that I have to compile manualy again
[16:55] <tilerendering> scorchgeek: the problem is, I dont have my own pwd anymore :/
[16:55] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: i just tried to use dmesg > ~ ... dmesg.txt wasnt found
[16:55] <evil_grin> lol
[16:55] <sudokill> Ceno3x, realtime kernel? why
[16:56] <guntbert> tilerendering: do you own the box?
[16:56] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: Should i reboot?
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt
[16:56] <Ceno3x> ikonia: it does, I've tried multiple ways of trying to get the 1.2gb file into the system
[16:56] <RA_drc> !kvm
[16:56] <tilerendering> yes
[16:56] <Ceno3x> sudokill: I'm writing a thesis on real-time operating systems
[16:56] <scorchgeek> tilerendering: if you boot in recovery mode you should get a root prompt with no password
[16:56] <tilerendering> ouch
[16:56] <Pici> !who
[16:56] <tilerendering> ouch ouch ouch :/
[16:56] <koffeehaus> where is ubuntu icon whithin an icon set? plz help
[16:56] <tilerendering> it´s an amazon ec2 instance...
[16:56] <ikonia> Ceno3x: run iostat 3 on the host while running the file move, does the io go up ?
[16:56] <tilerendering> I dont want to reboot before saving everything, which means I need su ;/
[16:56] <sudokill> Ceno3x, you should be able to save the .config file anyway so you wont have to redo the kernel
[16:57] <scorchgeek> tilerendering: doesn't ec2 have an option to reset your password somewhere?
[16:57] <Yatora> Hello, I recently installed Ubuntu on my media box, However; video playback is tremendously slow. I have googled around and from what i've seen comprehended that this is a known problem in Natty? Any solutions to this?
[16:57] <tilerendering> :/ damn...
[16:57] <scorchgeek> tilerendering: (no idea, just thinking it seems like there should be)
[16:58] <sudokill> Yatora, have you tried in fallback / classic mode?
[16:58] <kezzawd> hi all
[16:58] <james> help me
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> Yatora: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a    use a pastebin to hold the text
[16:58] <Yatora> ActionParsnip: hold on
[16:58] <tilerendering> ouch ouch ouch
[16:58] <Ceno3x> ikonia: i was monitoring the thing with the gnome panel monitor, and the "I\O wait" just to maximum just before the system freezes. is this related or will iostat give different information? i'm not familiar with the tool
[16:58] <Guest84529> how can i install a theme to my pc
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> !theme | Guest84529
[16:58] <ikonia> Ceno3x: iostat will give you more info - but I'm just thinking about something you said earlier
[16:58] <Ceno3x> sudokill: I know that, but I lost the whole thing and have to do it again, long story
[16:58] <sudokill> ok
[16:59] <scorchgeek> ActionParsnip: excellent, same step on sound juicer fixed it, thanks
[16:59] <Guest84529> do u like tapes or C.D's
[16:59] <Pici> !ot | Guest84529
[16:59] <ikonia> Ceno3x: here is a thought, you'll have to fill in the blanks for me
[16:59] <Viderize> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638964/ - Is anyone albe to help; I dont want to reinstall ubuntu...
[16:59] <bullgard4> Can you confirm that Ubuntu does not provide a package for DLNA? http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/
[16:59] <Ceno3x> ikonia: ok
[16:59] <Guest84529> do u like tapes or C.D's
[16:59] <sudokill> Viderize, lol
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> scorchgeek: nice
[17:00] <Viderize> sudokill: what?
[17:00] <sudokill> your paste made me lol
[17:00] <scorchgeek> ActionParsnip: heh, should have tried Google first myself I guess
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> scorchgeek: no idea what it actually is though :)
[17:00] <tilerendering> omfg I seem to have reset the password last time but dont remember to what ://
[17:00] <scorchgeek> yeah, me neither :D
[17:00] <ikonia> Ceno3x: on virutal machine guests, time is provided by the host, and it's basically dependant on cpu cycles issuing clock updates, you're running a real time kernel on the guest, in your opinion is it possible the io issue is due to a time (not time as in clock) loop being created between io write acknowledgements and the real time update stuck waiting for the next free cyle
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> scorchgeek: yes do, makes you more autonomous
[17:00] <Pici> bullgard4: a quick apt-cache search says that it has a few packages that can do dlna
[17:00] <ikonia> Ceno3x: that's a bit of a scrappy way of explaining it, do you follow what I'm saying
[17:01] <rww> bullgard4: minidlna is not in currently-supported versions of Ubuntu. It will be in 11.10.
[17:01] <Pici> rww: thanks
[17:01] <Viderize> sudokill: but are you albe to help me? :P
[17:01] <Viderize> *able
[17:01] <Snake__> Hi guys what s up
[17:01] <ikonia> Ceno3x: eg: the real time clock depends on very accurate timings, by default a vm will not give out accurate timing
[17:01] <tilerendering> ok - so is there no possibility to reset this without knowing the original pwd ? I can connect to the machine via ssh with my key
[17:01] <Ceno3x> ikonia: I tried with the stock kernel from ubuntu 10.04 and the problem was the same, so I don't think it's related
[17:01] <Snake__> I have a prob
[17:02] <Snake__> when in the terminal
[17:02] <ikonia> Ceno3x: so your guest is ubuntu 10.04 ?
[17:02] <Snake__> inputfile is what???
[17:02] <Ceno3x> ikonia: yep
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> Snake__: for what?
[17:02] <szal> !enter | Snake__
[17:02] <Guest41864> :|
[17:02] <Yatora> ActionParsnip:
[17:02] <Yatora> http://pastebin.com/UjbxgD0h
[17:03] <ikonia> Ceno3x: the reason I'm dubious on this is that if there was a problem with the 11.04 kernel I'd expect many people to be logging a bug that they can't use it with 10.04 guests, but they are no
[17:03] <ikonia> not
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Yatora: is it slow in all players?
[17:03] <Yatora> ActionParsnip: it plays well when I use GL output
[17:03] <Yatora> but it's slow in Flash, and all the other outputs from mplayer
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Yatora: tried a different output?
[17:04] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/kbaN6TQY
[17:04] <Ceno3x> ikonia: i had a tough time phrasing the problem in google to get related information. How would you confirm what you just said? go to launchpad and search the bugs?
[17:04] <bullgard4> Pici: I did a quick search using Synaptic before I posted here. I also found that a few packages are DLNA compliant. But a DLNA compliant server is not among them. --  I notice that <rww>  has responded with an outlook to Ubuntu 11.10.
[17:04] <Pici> bullgard4: Yep, I saw that as well :)
[17:04] <Middle> I am having issues trying to restore my graphics basically. If i boot up in Ubuntu (or safe Ubuntu) i get a black screen, and i have booted up a live USB and chrooted into the linux partition, but no matter what configuration of drivers and removals i do i can't seem to get any life out of it! I have a couple of ideas as to why it might not work, but i woudl really appreciate a second opinion! Thanks : )
[17:04] <Yatora> ActionParsnip: Yes, all the ones available in Gnome Mplayer
[17:04] <bullgard4> rww: Thank you for this valuable information.
[17:04] <ikonia> Ceno3x: that's one reason, but I am normally in this channel, and #vbox and it's not being mentioned
[17:05] <Snake__> If I m in the terminal and the code is blablablabla <inputfile> blablablabla what is input file???
[17:05] <tilerendering> hey people - I can connect to the machine with my ssh key. but i dont know my pwd. is there a way to recover it ? without booting into safe mode ? I am logged in with my user, I just want to know my pwd
[17:05] <ikonia> Ceno3x: that's not "fact" but it's the norm if there was a problem of that size
[17:05] <Snake__> If I m in the terminal and the code is blablablabla <inputfile> blablablabla what is input file???
[17:05] <ikonia> Snake__: please start making sense
[17:05] <dr_willis> Snake__:  the name of the file you want to use for input...
[17:05] <Yatora> ActionParsnip: GL was the only one giving a smooth playback, but caused problems with object over video
[17:05] <ikonia> Snake__: ask a proper question with a proper example
[17:06] <smw> tilerendering, that would be a security risk
[17:06] <Ceno3x> ikonia: yeah, I believe you, I was just asking because I was trouble searching about it and it ocurred that maybe I should've gone to launchpad
[17:06] <tilerendering> omfg
[17:06] <dr_willis> Snake__:  like    'insert  <yournamehere>
[17:06] <tilerendering> so there is now way ?
[17:06] <tilerendering> no way I mean ?
[17:06] <Pici> tilerendering: Just reset your password
[17:06] <tilerendering> how
[17:06] <ikonia> Ceno3x: it's a reasonable question - I did check launchpad after your second post on the matter
[17:06] <tilerendering> with passwd ?
[17:06] <Pici> tilerendering: passwd
[17:06] <tilerendering> then it asks me my current password.
[17:06] <tilerendering> which I dont know.
[17:06] <rww> tilerendering: correct. passwd is coded to require your current password.
[17:06] <tilerendering> :/
[17:06] <smw> tilerendering, every option involves you either su-ing to root or physical access
[17:06] <dr_willis> tilerendering:  you will have to use safe mode or a live cd to set a new password.
[17:06] <tilerendering> holy omfg crap
[17:07] <smw> tilerendering, you can do safemode, take out the hd, etc
[17:07] <ikonia> tilerendering: control the language
[17:07] <tilerendering> oh my god.
[17:07] <netgene> So any ideas on how to install specific versions of php.. ?
[17:07] <rww> tilerendering: this is an obvious security precaution: if you could change your password without supplying the current one, someone could change your password if you left yourself logged in
[17:07] <tilerendering> I have no physical access to the instance
[17:07] <Snake__> ok let s say I recorded something with my camera and I want to encode it  to another format
[17:07] <smw> tilerendering, instance? as in vps?
[17:07] <tilerendering> amazon ec2
[17:07] <Snake__> is input file the file of the video I recorded with my camera?
[17:07] <ikonia> tilerendering: you can request a password reset
[17:07] <Ceno3x> ikonia: maybe the problem is me importing the appliance? I'm gonna try to install stock ubuntu 10.04  on a new one and see if the problem persists, the installation is rather quick
[17:07] <smw> tilerendering, of course you have "physical" access!
[17:08] <tilerendering> ikonia: wheren and how ?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: I can suggest trying a different wireless channel, may help
[17:08] <dr_willis> Snake__:  the program reads the inputfile and outputs to the new file.. yes..
[17:08] <ikonia> Ceno3x: I'm not going anywhere, let me know
[17:08] <ikonia> tilerendering: through the amazon support resources
[17:08] <smw> tilerendering, is it ebs backed?
[17:08] <Snake__> ok thanks
[17:08] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: how?
[17:08] <tilerendering> smw - yes, but hand-mounted ebs-volume, root is not ebs
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: change it in your router
[17:08] <smw> tilerendering, in that case, you are screwed :-)
[17:08] <tilerendering> so rebooting without making sure that everything is unmounted properly before that is not possible
[17:09] <Ceno3x> ikonia: ok, thx for the help, I'm downloading the iso now
[17:09] <smw> tilerendering, use root ebs ;-)
[17:09] <tilerendering> fuckit.
[17:09] <smw> tilerendering, if you do a stop, it will unmount fine
[17:09] <Guest88032> is it possible to install Lamp and Geany in ubuntu?
[17:10] <Pici> Guest88032: sure, they are both in the package repositories
[17:10] <toothpick> I've tried
[17:10] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: whats the problem with my wlan? is it the realtek card or just ubuntu?
[17:10] <Pici> toothpick: And? Are you having an issue?
[17:10] <toothpick> This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time
[17:10] <nanicoar> So, I just Fedora.
[17:10] <nanicoar> ~tried
[17:10] <toothpick> This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time
[17:10] <Pici> toothpick: can you pastebin the entire message?
[17:10] <nanicoar> And lo and behold I'm back.
[17:10] <toothpick> yeah
[17:11] <ghsh> what is zeitgeist-datah?
[17:11] <AlexDevilLX|Away> How to hide evolution to tray?
[17:11] <ikonia> tilerendering: you're muted in the channel, please check your private messages
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: the driver may be more susceptible to oise
[17:11] <nanicoar> BTW, the ubuntu user community is, pparently, "too friendly".
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> AlexDevilLX|Away: use alltray
[17:12] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: which channel should i use?
[17:12] <yassine> hi folks
[17:12] <AlexDevilLX|Away> but applet
[17:12] <nanicoar> Hello
[17:12] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: the standard was "Auto"
[17:12] <dr_willis> ghsh:  zeitgeist is a tool that records what you work on and how long. so you can monitor what you have been doing and  other things like that.
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: scan to see what is in use and don't use that one
[17:12] <yassine> is it possible to resize the root partition from the recovery mode?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> yassine: you'll need the livecd
[17:12] <AlexDevilLX|Away> How to hide evolution into mail applet, where pidgin is located?
[17:12] <dr_willis> yassine:  you dont resize an in use fileystem
[17:12] <ghsh> dr_willis: thanks -- time to get rid of that then!
[17:12] <smw> yassine, gparted live cd is great for this
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> AlexDevilLX|Away: yes, alltray will do that
[17:13] <dr_willis> ghsh:  its a neat tool. but i have no use for it.. someone who actually works for a living on their pc may need it.
[17:13] <Yatora> Anyway, if any others have had video playback problems on their ubuntu installation, and also tried the classic environment without any luck, it would be nice to know if there is a solution. :)
[17:13] <AlexDevilLX|Away> ActionParsnip: And will the icon show, that there is a new message
[17:13] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: if i change the channel would it change something for other users of the router?
[17:13] <ghsh> dr_willis: not me
[17:13] <toothpick> http://pastebin.com/ScHvpEhC
[17:13] <AlexDevilLX|Away> Are there email clients, that work with mail applet
[17:13] <dr_willis> ghsh:  you barely even know what it does.
[17:13] <yassine> ActionParsnip, dr_willis smw thanks i was thinking one can do some remounting with rw permission from the recovery console but apparently there is no way except the livecd one thanks all again
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> AlexDevilLX|Away: it will use the notify OSD as usual
[17:14] <ghsh> dr_willis: it's at the top of TOP so it's gone
[17:14] <toothpick> I just switched over from Mint to Ubuntu and I'm having the worst time trying to get anything to work
[17:14] <AlexDevilLX|Away> ActionParsnip: But it doesnt
[17:14] <dr_willis> what you going  to do when 'top' is at the top of top.....
[17:14] <ghsh> dr_willis: reboot :P
[17:15] <Pici> toothpick: let me take a look, one moment.
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> AlexDevilLX|Away: http://gnome.eu.org/evo/index.php/Evolution_Tray  seen that before?
[17:15] <murlidhar> hi can anyone help me run my gmailwatcher app. it stopped running suddenly and now refuses to start even. it was working gd before. http://pastebin.com/YF7AUZrr
[17:15] <ghsh> dr_willis: the point is to much memory for something not used
[17:15] <woody73> is this the right place to ask questions about postfix/dovecot setup?
[17:15] <AlexDevilLX|Away> ActionParsnip: Nope, i'll look at it now
[17:15] <Middle> woody73: /join #dovecot
[17:16] <Pici> toothpick: Can you pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy apache2.2-common
[17:16] <AlexDevilLX|Away> ActionParsnip: I need it to hide in applet, where pidgin is stored
[17:16] <woody73> thx @ Middle
[17:16] <AlexDevilLX|Away> Pidgin works fine
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> AlexDevilLX|Away: yes that is the same place
[17:17] <AlexDevilLX|Away> i'll try
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> AlexDevilLX|Away: did you not websearch any?
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> AlexDevilLX|Away: I don't even use evolution and I found that..

[17:18] <albe_> dddd
[17:18] <Middle> I am having issues trying to restore my graphics basically. If i boot up in Ubuntu (or safe Ubuntu) i get a black screen, and i have booted up a live USB and chrooted into the linux partition, but no matter what configuration of drivers and removals i do i can't seem to get any life out of it! I have a couple of ideas as to why it might not work, but i woudl really appreciate a second opinion! Thanks : )
[17:19] <sarahh> I'm using ubuntu 11.04 and a Razer DeathAdder mouse. I've used the mouse in other distros perfectly but now it happens that randomly after some time it will start to act buggy and click things things by itself, I have to unplug it and plug it back. Any idea what could be going wrong?
[17:19] <albe_> ciao a tutti
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> murlidhar: have you checked the line mentioned in ~/.fonts.conf
[17:19] <Pici> !it | albe_
[17:19] <Pici> toothpick: Are you rinning Ubuntu or Mint?
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> Middle: add the bootoption: nomodeset
[17:19] <murlidhar> ActionParsnip: nopes
[17:19] <AlexDevilLX|Away> ActionParsnip: It's tray, no in applet
[17:19] <murlidhar> let me check that.
[17:19] <MrJones> I run ubuntu 10, recently upgraded from 8. I have a script that spawns php for use with nginx using the command spawn-fcgi -f php-cgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 8888 -u php -g wwwdata. This worked fine on Ubuntu 8. That command is also in /etc/rc.local. Now with Ubuntu 10, while the initial spawn works, I always find after some hours that PHP is no longer running. This is a production server, so a quite odd issue. nothing in /var/log/messages
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> murlidhar: the error points to the file, should help
[17:20] <toothpick> ubuntu 10.4
[17:20] <toothpick> I completely reformatted last night
[17:20] <strk> libxslt/xsltutils.h anyone ? (can't find in a package, can you?)
[17:20] <dr_willis> sarahh:  cant say ive noticed that issue with my mouse. but its been a while since ive had that box powered on. You may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com if others have a similer issue
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> murlidhar: my system doesn't have ~/.fonts.conf
[17:21] <Ceno3x> ikonia: are you still around? the VM was aborted as soon as the installation began
[17:21] <dr_willis> !find xsltutils.h
[17:21] <Pici> toothpick: Then remove the mint CD from your computer and run apt-get update and then try again.
[17:21] <dr_willis> strk:  there is is :)
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> toothpick: can you give the output of:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release
[17:22] <ikonia> Ceno3x: yes, I'm here
[17:22] <murlidhar> ActionParsnip: ah well its optional actually. i set it up but now have removed it but it still should work now.. but it isn't
[17:22] <ikonia> Ceno3x: ok - so that's a good sign (sort of) that the issue is with the host
[17:22] <strk> !find xslt-config
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> murlidhar: weird
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> murlidhar: surely the error is different though?
[17:23] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: How can i scan in Ubuntu which WLAN channels are used?
[17:23] <citizenD3SK> hello
[17:23] <bradj|afk> I have a zombie process now owned by init but there are some tcp connections that just won't die, how can I get init to reap the zombie?
[17:23] <citizenD3SK> i want to put my user citizen666 in the ww-data group how i may do this ( on a server command line only )
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: sudo iwlist scan
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> citizenD3SK: sudo usermod -a -G ww-data citizen666
[17:24] <non0> hi
[17:24] <toothpick> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/wQv0J6kh
[17:25] <citizenD3SK> thank you :)
[17:25] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: May a Channel change cause any problems for other users of my router?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: they will need to re-associate
[17:25] <murlidhar> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/dHQjPXZi
[17:25] <toothpick> Pici: before I reformatted, I did make an apt back up on a cd thinking that it would save time, it isn't in the computer, and I haven't (or don't think that I have) installed anything off of it
[17:25] <murlidhar> ActionParsnip: here is the new pastebin of the error.
[17:26] <Pici> toothpick: Then remove it from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> murlidhar: ok what is the output of:  apt-cache policy gmailwatcher
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> toothpick: then why do you have the mint cd in your sources file??
[17:27] <Ceno3x> ikonia: tried installation with an ext3 partition, it was less agressive but I almost couldn't shutdown the VM. Yes, the VMs are fine, something with the host is at fault. The only thing I have non-standard is the xorg-edgers ppa
[17:27] <pirate> are there russians here?
[17:27] <murlidhar> ActionParsnip:  http://ppa.launchpad.net/loneowais/ppa/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
[17:27] <rww> pirate: try #ubuntu-ru
[17:27] <ikonia> Ceno3x: long shot - what about a hardware error ?
[17:27] <pirate> thanks
[17:28] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: doesnt work
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> murlidhar: then you are using a 3rd party repo which we cannot support. I suggest you contact the ppa maintainer
[17:28] <Ceno3x> ikonia: like a problem with the disk? I doubt it, everything is fine except for vbox...
[17:28] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: should i try http://adam.rosi-kessel.org/weblog/2008/06/21/a-much-simpler-fix-for-the-r8169-link-down-problem (i havent yet)
[17:28] <murlidhar> ActionParsnip: okiez
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: thats for the wired link so isn't relevant
[17:29] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: okay
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> werwaffel: if the other channel is no good too then switch it back, we are now a little wiser :)
[17:29] <ikonia> Ceno3x: I'm thinking more ram - as in reality it's all ram driven
[17:29] <toothpick> Pici and ActionParsnip - Thank you!
[17:30] <Yatora> Is it possible to downgrade Natty?
[17:30] <rww> !downgrade | Yatora
[17:30] <ikonia> Ceno3x: I appreciate that's not the best diagnosis,
[17:30] <Ceno3x> ikonia: hm, with ext4 the VM was aborted during the formating, does this happen in ram? at some point it has to be commited to disk at least. As a side note, I'm also passing pcie_aspm=force as a boot parameter
[17:31] <Ceno3x> ikonia: lol I've been at this since yesterday, you still think trying a different kernel is useless?
[17:31] <ikonia> Ceno3x: it doesn't happen "in ram" but think about it, your machine is a machine running in the ram of a guest, which has ram allocated to it from the ram of a guest
[17:31] <ikonia> Ceno3x: I don't think this is a kernel problem in honesty
[17:32] <ikonia> Ceno3x: that doesn't mean I'm right, but there is nothing you've said that points at a kernel issue beyond the hard lock - which makes me lean more towards a hardware issue at this time
[17:32] <Osmodivs> How lonf does it suposed to take to print something in Ubuntu? I am using Ubuntu 11.0464bits, I want to print something in GIMP, but... http://www.pasteall.org/pic/14635
[17:32] <carbon_> Hi,  need help plz.  How can I find out what module my nic is using ?
[17:33] <carbon_> i lsmod but its not obvious
[17:33] <toothpick> Now here is what I get when trying to install lamp. http://pastebin.com/1BL30Sw8
[17:33] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: do you have an other idea how i could solve the problem? im getting frustrated :/
[17:33] <Middle> ActionParsnip: Oh yeah forgot about nomodeset XD Anyways it allowed me to boot into safe mdoe whcih was nice, however i tried to start X and it just stopped outputting :/
[17:33] <Osmodivs> !help |carbon
[17:34] <Middle> ActionParsnip: Also can i mkake nomodeset permamnent?
[17:34] <bastidrazor> carbon_: lspci -vv and find your nic
[17:34] <safire> why does aptitude think the latest version of firefox is 3.6?
[17:34] <Ceno3x> ikonia: the thing is it's related to filesystem operation, there might be some weird thing going on there you see.  Jumping to a hardware problem is I think much more far-fetched, everything was fine 4 days ago when it was a 10.04 host instead of 11.04...
[17:34] <rww> safire: which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[17:34] <ikonia> Ceno3x: I don't disagree, but a hard lock is unlikley, a kernel issue would panic/dump normally, hard lock is normally linked to the hardware (at a very generic level)
[17:35] <safire> 10.10
[17:35] <thecoolestgurl> guys whenever i open banshee it says there was a fatal error
[17:35] <carbon_> bastidrazor:  will the -vv show me the module ?
[17:35] <thecoolestgurl> how do i fix it? do i just reinstall?
[17:35] <Dave888> Have you guys tried ubuntu 72.10 /
[17:35] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: I've read something about a WLAN Bug with 11.04
[17:35] <Dave888> ?
[17:35] <Viderizer> I have Ubuntu 10.04.04 Lucid with Wubi and I got this message suddently today (I have used it earlier today normally)
[17:35] <Dave888> its awesome
[17:35] <werwaffel> ActionParsnip: Should i use 10.10 instead?
[17:35] <rww> safire: alrighty. two relevant factoids for you:
[17:35] <rww> !latest | safire
[17:35] <Viderizer> "ALERT! /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist. Dropping to root shell"
[17:35] <rww> !ff5 | safire
[17:35] <pirate> who has an invite for Google +?
[17:36] <rww> !ot | pirate
[17:36] <Dave888> @pirate google + is open for everyone right now
[17:36] <Dave888> go singup fast
[17:36] <pirate> I'm so sorry
[17:36] <rww> !ff5 =~ s/following/following unofficial and unsupported/
[17:36] <Ceno3x> ikonia: well, let's not hope it's hardware because it's a mac and I'm not very high on money at the moment!
[17:36] <toothpick> http://pastebin.com/1BL30Sw8 Trying to now install lamp
[17:36] <BluesKaj> Ceno3x, did you upgrade directly from 10.04 to 11.04 or did you clean install ?
[17:37] <Osmodivs> !lamp
[17:37] <thecoolestgurl> guys banshee keeps on giving me a fatal error how do i fix it?
[17:37] <JuJuBee> I have a 4 scripts I want to run every night via crontab.  They need to run in succession.  Should I put them all into 1 script or create a single script that calls each of them in succession?
[17:37] <Ceno3x> ikonia: anyway, thanks for your interest in the situation, I'm gonna try removing the boot parameter, if that doesn't work I'm gonna go for kvm and start over
[17:37] <ikonia> Ceno3x: agreed, it's not a very factual diagnoses, and what you've said about working on 10.04 does move away from it being a hardware problem
[17:37] <pirate> how do I upgrade my LibreOffice?
[17:37] <Ceno3x> BluesKaj: clean install
[17:37] <bastidrazor> carbon_: did you try he command?
[17:37] <safire> 10.10 isn't that old.. why do I need to do extra stuff to get firefox 4 support?
[17:37] <ikonia> Ceno3x: has the version of vbox changed between 10.04 and 11.04 ?
[17:37] <carbon_>  bastidrazor:  many thanks.    lwlagn    :)
[17:37] <BluesKaj> Ceno3x, ok
[17:38] <bastidrazor> carbon_: you're welcome.
[17:38] <pirate> or update
[17:38] <safire> ubottu: The only reason I'm upgrading is because firefox 3.6 + adobe plugin isn't stable
[17:38] <rww> safire: because as the first factoid says, we don't generally upgrade to new major versions of software after release, to prevent introducing bugs or functionality changes
[17:38] <Ceno3x> ikonia: yes it did, so I removed the package, installed the same version I was running (4.06) and imported the appliances again, to no avail
[17:39] <ikonia> Ceno3x: how did you install the same version ?
[17:39] <Ceno3x> ikonia: got the package from the website
[17:39] <ikonia> Ceno3x: from the vbox website ?
[17:40] <Ceno3x> ikonia: yep
[17:40] <safire> rww: the adobe plugin crashes on multiple pdfs, that's not very stable -.-
[17:40] <ikonia> Ceno3x: did you do that because you where having a problem with the one packaged in ubuntu, or just to keep the versions the same
[17:41] <alexleon> hii
[17:41] <wells> howdy

[17:42] <ikonia> Delta_: yes but the packages are from a PPA and not supported
[17:42] <ikonia> alexleon: that can be a problem
[17:42] <bastidrazor> !gnome3 > Delta_
[17:42] <Ceno3x> ikonia: at first I went to the latest from the site, that didn't work, so I removed and installed the one in the repos. Then I removed and installed 4.06 to keep the versions the same
[17:42] <ikonia> Ceno3x: what happened with the one in the repos ?
[17:43] <Ceno3x> ikonia: the same behavior. it's version 4.0.8
[17:43] <alexleon> yes
[17:43] <wells> anyone know why directories without indexes give me an error 500 regardless of Options +/-Indexes?
[17:44] <alexleon> i go to http://localhost:901
[17:44] <ikonia> Ceno3x: that is super frustrating
[17:44] <ikonia> Ceno3x: it would be great to test it back on 10.04 - but I appreciate that's not realisitic in your current situation
[17:44] <Viderizer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638986/ - Is anybody able to help me?
[17:44] <alexleon> and it says a username and password are being requested by http://localhost:901. the site says: "SWAT"
[17:44] <Ceno3x> ikonia: believe it! I've been tearing my hair off for over 10 hours now
[17:45] <thecoolestgurl> can somebody help me? banshee keeps on giving me a fatal error. here is the error: http://pastebin.com/0gdX24Lq
[17:45] <alexleon> how i know my root info -_-
[17:46] <Ceno3x> ikonia: yes, I understand what you mean, but I need to work, not triage a bug... it's been 4 days now I haven't programmed a thing due to issues like these
[17:46] <ikonia> Ceno3x: fully support what you're saying
[17:46] <anonymous> Hello all
[17:47] <wells5878> anyone know why directories without indexes give me an error 500 regardless of Options +/-Indexes?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> alexleon: how do you mean "root info"?
[17:47] <thecoolestgurl> does anybody know how to fix banshee when it gives you a fatal error?
[17:47] <alexleon> login and password
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> alexleon: there isn't one, use your account and use sudo and gksudo when you need admin access

[17:48] <yggdrasil> hi, im looking for a live cd that starts up and launches an rdp client. is there any thing like that?
[17:48] <ikonia> yggdrasil: not an ubuntu one
[17:48] <Guest81190> i can download files to this partition
[17:49] <rww> yggdrasil: try asking in ##linux, we stick to Ubuntu in here :)
[17:49] <Ceno3x> ikonia: do you know of any guide to help get me started with kvm or qemu? or is it easy and I wouldn't need that much help?
[17:49] <dr_willis> yggdrasil:  you could proberly make one using tinycorelinux. or a live-flash-drive would be easier.
[17:49] <Pici> Ceno3x: The Ubuntu docs were handy enough to get myself up and running: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
[17:49] <b0ot> how do I set the speed to 100 mb
[17:49] <b0ot> in ubuntu
[17:49] <alexleon> still cant login

[17:50] <ikonia> Ceno3x: there is some good guides/info on the ubuntu wiki
[17:50] <yggdrasil> dr_willis: thanks.
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> !swat
[17:50] <ikonia> ah, Pici's just given you one
[17:50] <werwaffel> I think i will delete Ubuntu 11.04 and install 10.10 maybe it would fix my WLAN bug
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> alexleon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Swat
[17:50] <dr_willis> real mean edit the samba config file :)
[17:50] <dr_willis> its not that hard to understand.
[17:51] <sudokill> werwaffel, have you ttried 10.10? if not im not sure itl fix a driver
[17:51] <Ceno3x> ikonia: I think I'm all set. Again, thank you for your time and interest in my situation, I really appreciate it . cheers!
[17:51] <werwaffel> sudokill: i tried ubuntu 10.10 on VirtualBOx but not on my real pc
[17:51] <BluesKaj> Guest81190, you can copy files between linux and windows ,if you're on linux . not so easy on windows 7

[17:51] <alexleon> what does it mean
[17:51] <sudokill> just saying, the newer kernel probably uses exatly the same driver...
[17:51] <ikonia> alexleon: it means you need the root account
[17:52] <werwaffel> sudokill: and then should i wait for updates?
[17:52] <thecoolestgurl> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1754843 i found the solution,but where is the home folder in 10.10???
[17:52] <alexleon> ikonia explain it to my step by step :)
[17:52] <dimakx> hi
[17:52] <dr_willis> what is the port for swat? i forget.. http://localhost:631   is cups..
[17:52] <sudokill> werwaffel, i dont know anything about wireless but usually theres  a workaround for most things
[17:52] <thecoolestgurl> not the home folder, the USER folder inside the home folder
[17:52] <dr_willis> alexleon:  try your admin users name and password.
[17:53] <dimakx> my name is dimakx
[17:53] <werwaffel> sudokill: that means the problem would maybe fix itself when i wait and update?
[17:53] <dimakx> and you? xD
[17:53] <alexleon> mm like the name of my pc and the password that i put everywhere?
[17:53] <alexleon> i tried
[17:53] <sudokill> dimakx, it says your name already
[17:54] <dimakx> nice to meet you
[17:54] <b0ot> How would I set eth0 to be 100MB full duplex?
[17:54] <sudokill> werwaffel, i dont know what the problems is :s and being wireless, i wont be able to help :(

[17:55] <alexleon> pfff i did it
[17:55] <werwaffel> sudokill wireless on linux sucks
[17:55] <alexleon> it was capslock mistake
[17:55] <dr_willis> alexleon:  :)
[17:55] <Maestro> I'm having issues with my laptop, it won't recognize when a cable is connected to the ethernet adapter
[17:55] <toothpick> I feel like I"m going in a huge circle with the !Lamp link

[17:55] <alexleon> thx :D love u all
[17:55] <sudokill> werwaffel, i think wireless in general does tbh but i agree most problems on this channel is regarding wireless
[17:56] <dimakx> oky, good bye man! xD
[17:56] <Delta_> is it possible to have the classic gnome desktop in gnome3?
[17:57] <werwaffel> sudokill i think im going to use windows while ubuntu is going to work on the problems (i hope so)
[17:57] <rww> toothpick: have you done "sudo apt-get update" recently?
[17:57] <BluesKaj> Maestro, did you connect before booting in ?
[17:57] <saik0> Is there a way to get legacy looking scrollbars back in ambiance?
[17:57] <toothpick> yes sir
[17:57] <rww> Delta_: GNOME 3 is not in any currently supported version of Ubuntu, and thus is not supported here.
[17:57] <Maestro> BluesKaj, I've done several reboots with the cable still connected
[17:57] <rww> saik0: remove the "overlay-scrollbar" package
[17:58] <llutz> b0ot: ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off duplex full speed 100
[17:58] <saik0> rww: it's system wide? I want to disable per-user
[17:59] <rww> saik0: yes, it's system-wide. I don't know how to do it per-user, sorry :(
[17:59] <BluesKaj> Maestro,  ifconfig in the terminal , then sudo dhclient eth0
[17:59] <alexleon> whats the name of that app that let me customize my desktop like raining wallpaper nd stuff?
[17:59] <b0ot> llutz, I tried that and it won't take
[17:59] <b0ot> I have ethtools installed
[17:59] <ZykoticK9> alexleon, ccsm perhaps?
[17:59] <alexleon> i think so :P
[18:00] <alexleon> i ll try it
[18:00] <rww> !ccsm
[18:00] <b0ot> llutz, nvm
[18:00] <b0ot> it worked
[18:00] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> alexleon: compiz
[18:01] <alexleon> just compiz?
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> alexleon: you can set the stuff with compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:01] <Maestro> BluesKaj: didn't work. I believe it might be a hardware issue, since none of the leds on the ethernet port ever flashes
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> alexleon: compiz is the windows manager which provides all that sort of fluff
[18:02] <alexleon> compiz is already installed
[18:02] <alexleon> but compizconfig is not
[18:02] <Middle> Can anyone help me connect to a WPA wireless network from the command line? (No GUI) Cheers
[18:02] <BluesKaj> Maestro, what about the network manager , what are your settings ..right click on it
[18:03] <ZykoticK9> Middle, do you have wpasupplicant already installed (you'll need it)?
[18:03] <toothpick> Help with installing Lamp http://pastebin.com/w64QsMaY
[18:04] <Maestro> BluesKaj: right click where?
[18:04] <Middle> ZykoticK9: Yeah i have been trying to get it to work for a while now, but i get an error when i try to test teh connection : (
[18:04] <BluesKaj> on the networkmanager icon in the panel, Maestro
[18:05] <alexleon> got it :D
[18:05] <ZykoticK9> Middle, sorry I haven't had to use cli wireless in like 5+ years, this howto/forum might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136
[18:06] <Maestro> BluesKaj: that only gives me a context menu with About, Remove from panel etc.
[18:06] <toothpick> Where can I install mysql-server to make !lamp (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP) run?
[18:06] <BluesKaj> Maestro,  in the terminal, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[18:07] <toothpick> err how can I, or where can I get it. something, http://pastebin.com/w64QsMaY apt-get sure as hell isn't working
[18:07] <Maestro> BluesKaj: I've tried that one before as well, didn't do anything different this time
[18:08] <oCean> toothpick: did you install LAMP by issueing  sudo tasksel install lamp-server ?
[18:08] <tiox> I'm having issues hooking up my HP iPaq with Ubuntu, and having it recognized. Here's the results from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/638994/
[18:08] <gar_onn> tartup my comuter, I use my keyboard to select Ubunutu (it's a dual boot with windows) . then I select the generic one in the GRUB menu, but after selecting here My keyboard and mouse stop working for a couple of minutes, so I've got to wait to login. Couldent find anny solutions for this problem on Google.
[18:08] <ZykoticK9> toothpick, are you able to install anything currently with apt-get?
[18:08] <Middle> ZykoticK9: Thanks i will try that :)
[18:08] <toothpick> oCean yes and it says that it depends on mysql-server
[18:09] <toothpick> zykotick9: yes except those packages
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> toothpick: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[18:09] <toothpick> actionParsnip
[18:09] <BluesKaj> Maestro, ok  , alt+F2 , /etc/network/interfaces , what's listed there ?
[18:09] <toothpick> that is what I'm using
[18:09] <toothpick> actionparsnip http://pastebin.com/w64QsMaY
[18:09] <wells5878> anyone know why directories without indexes give me an error 500 regardless of Options +/-Indexes?
[18:09] <jhgdd> how can i acquire the dictionary which is supposed to come with the default install? it's supposed to be under apps->office, but i dont have it. (relatively fresh 11.04 install)
[18:09] <ZykoticK9> toothpick, i'm guessing you've added some 3rd party repo or ppa that must be interfering - have you tried "sudo apt-get update" then tried install mysql?
[18:09] <toothpick> everything installed fine except the mysql-server
[18:09] <wells5878> (apache server)
[18:09] <tilerendering> hello again
[18:10] <tilerendering> I actually resolved the password issue.
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> toothpick: are there any bugs reported?
[18:10] <oCean> toothpick: installing lamp-server through tasksel will install all required components. Have you any idea what *is* installed and what is not?
[18:10] <tilerendering> fortunately, I had a root login key for ssh - so I re-logged in and changed the password for my users :D
[18:10] <neuticle> wells5878: you have any .htaccess files laying around?
[18:10] <Viderizer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/638986/ - Is anybody able to help me?
[18:10] <xangua> jhgdd: installed languages on Language settings¿
[18:10] <wells5878> neuticle: nope
[18:11] <ubun>  is there a way to create a system restore point. similar to windows where you can go back to that point?
[18:11] <neuticle> wells5878: any mod-rewrite?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> ubun: could use partimage in a liveCD to make an image of the partition(s)
[18:11] <toothpick> actionparsnip no bugs, just says "broken packages"
[18:11] <wells5878> mod-rewrite is enabled
[18:11] <tiox> ubun: Not entirely impossible, though, there's no real way to do that because of the nature of Linux itself.
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> toothpick: I'd report a bug. It should be smooth
[18:11] <toothpick> oCean: I've tried, it says $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[18:11] <toothpick> tasksel: aptitude failed (100)
[18:12] <Maestro> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/9zgvnrtm
[18:12] <tiox> You're better off rebooting into Ubuntu via CD and copying at least your root partition. Always pays to get a big hard disk just to have a backup partition, that way it one goes boom, then at least the other can have the boot flag turned on.
[18:13] <oCean> toothpick: have you edited your sources.list recently?
[18:13] <tiox> Unless anybody else can tell me wrong and give ubun the right answer?
[18:13] <toothpick> oCean yes to remove a screw up, and afterwords I updated
[18:14] <Eitan> so im thining of using ubuntu as my only OS on my macbook pro
[18:14] <Eitan> any thoughts/comments on this
[18:14] <oCean> toothpick: did you run 'sudo apt-get update' ?
[18:14] <toothpick> ocean: yes
[18:14] <Maestro> Eitan, test with a live cd
[18:14] <Eitan> Masetro: good call, hahaha
[18:15] <Maestro> unless you're already running it ofc
[18:15] <Eitan> Maestro: OSX crashed, i have to reinstall anyways, i was just gonna install Ubuntu - cause it aint working as it right now
[18:15] <neuticle> wells5878: meh, sorry, can't think of anything besides trying it without mod-rewrite or overrides to see what it does... do all directories do it, or just one?
[18:15] <ubun> can i use the same help (command lines) tutorials found for ubuntu on LUBUNTU? is it all the same except the desktop?
[18:15] <Pici> ubun: yes and yes.
[18:15] <oCean> toothpick: ok. Just checking.
[18:15] <wells5878> all. if i override mod-rewrite with RewriteEngine off in htaccess it still happens
[18:15] <wolfric> i need to press f1 in a gnome-terminal however it keeps bringing up gnome help. I've got all the keyboard shortcut keys disabled. Any idea? Can i escape it somehow to send it through
[18:15] <Maestro> Eitan: if it works out of the box on a live cd, you'll not have much trouble using it
[18:15] <BluesKaj> Maestro, try,  ifup eth0 in the terminal
[18:15] <BluesKaj> bbl
[18:16] <ubun> Pici: thank you.
[18:16] <oCean> toothpick: the thing is, the aptitude (100) error often disappears when an extra sudo apt-get update is done
[18:16] <wolfric> woops nvm
[18:17] <sudokill> ubun, some things may be de related but standard commands are universal
[18:17] <neuticle> wells5878: AllowOverride Indexes will cause a 500
[18:17] <Eitan> Masestro: was reading online, most things work out of the box - few items like wifi need manual install
[18:17] <toothpick> is there any way to do something to make sure it isn't me?
[18:18] <Morphje> just a quick question. i wanted to add a nl-NL to my locales, before i did that i ran locale -a and saw that i had quite a few en_* locales installed. However after running apt-get install language-pack-nl my locales reduced to only to en_US and the dutch ones. So where have they gone to ?
[18:18] <Middle> Anyone else know how to connec to WPA from the CLI? I have tried 2 guides and got the same error message both times :/
[18:18] <oCean> toothpick: another one, have you done a   sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:18] <toothpick> no
[18:18] <ZykoticK9> Middle, what is the error?
[18:18] <toothpick> should I do it now?
[18:19] <neuticle> wells5878: if you just set it as an option it will probably work, but as an override, depending on the other configs, it could cause the issue
[18:19] <neuticle> wells5878: or at least it has with older versions... no idea
[18:19] <wells5878> neuticle: i'm not sure what you mean
[18:20] <neuticle> wells5878: do you use AllowOverride Indexes?
[18:20] <agentgasmask> Hi all. Computer crashed during update. Now Openoffice will not load. The splash screen comes up and the loading bar goes accross, but then it just goes away and nothing hapens. There are no errors output to the starting terminal.
[18:20] <oCean> toothpick: you can try that, it'll try to 'reconfigure' any packages that are not in a configured state currently. Anyway there's tons of information on the aptitude 100 error, meaning that the package metadata is not updated.
[18:20] <wells5878> neuticle: i've never tried doing that. we have AllowOverride All in our httpd.conf
[18:20] <riddler> i can't find the trash can on my Lubuntu, anyone know how i can make it show on the desktop?
[18:20] <neuticle> wells5878: ah, and then an Option Indexes?
[18:21] <Middle> ZykoticK9: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED -Disconnect event - remove keys; I have found another guide so i shall try that : )
[18:21] <neuticle> wells5878: meh, I don't know then
[18:21] <wells5878> neuticle: yeah, both Options -Indexes and Options +Indexes cause 500 error
[18:21] <neuticle> wells5878: sorry man
[18:21] <shorttech> hi everyone
[18:22] <shorttech> I'm looking for a VPN software, something similar to my cisco vpn I have for windows.
[18:22] <shorttech> any suggestions?
[18:22] <Morphje> shorttech: openswan
[18:22] <Morphje> or are you looking for the client part ?
[18:23] <NaSSiM`> hey all
[18:23] <Pici> shorttech: If you're looking for a client, and you use network-manager, then network-manager-vpnc will work
[18:23] <toothpick> oCean  sudo dpkg --configure -a   doesn't do anything
[18:23] <shorttech> Morphje, Im not quite sure what you mean when you say client part. I have cisco VPn on my work laptop which is used to connect to different remote desktops
[18:24] <NaSSiM`> i have a problem installing virtualbox on ubuntu 10.04 anyone can help me i tried several times and read the docs on the net but still problem
[18:24] <shorttech> Morphje, yes I think its a client
[18:24] <sudokill> NaSSiM`, what happens?
[18:24] <Morphje> shorttech: well are you looking for a vpn client to connect to remote vpn networks or do you want to set up a VPN yourself
[18:24] <oCean> toothpick: if it just returns the command prompt, it has run. you're fine. You are sure your source.list don't contain any non-standard repositories?
[18:24] <toothpick> if it means anything, I did sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ in mint and it installed everything smoothly just a few day ago
[18:24] <someluser> is the partition manager in the ubuntu text installer accessible after the the system has been installed?
[18:24] <NaSSiM`> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[18:24] <NaSSiM`> sudokill E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[18:24] <shorttech> Morphje, I want to connect to network
[18:24] <coz_> NaSSiM`,  are you using the repository ?
[18:25] <NaSSiM`> i think i need to install the dependencies
[18:25] <Morphje> shorttech: then take the advice from Pici
[18:25] <oCean> toothpick: you dualboot with mint?
[18:25] <sudokill> NaSSiM`, afaik it should do that for you :s
[18:25] <coz_> NaSSiM`,   sudo apt-get intall virtualbox-ose
[18:25] <NaSSiM`> coz_ i didnt understand .
[18:25] <toothpick> oCean no I fresh installed ubuntu last night, I thought that I had graduated and put on my big boy pants..
[18:25] <coz_> NaSSiM`,    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Installation
[18:25] <shorttech> Morphje, and I can download the network-manager-vpnc from the software center correct?
[18:25] <NaSSiM`> coz
[18:25] <NaSSiM`> root@vps2451:~# sudo apt-get intall virtualbox-ose
[18:25] <NaSSiM`> E: Invalid operation intall
[18:25] <rww> NaSSiM`: install, not intall
[18:25] <NaSSiM`> lol
[18:25] <oCean> toothpick: haha, ok. So the sources.list is completely fresh also
[18:26] <NaSSiM`> ok
[18:26] <NaSSiM`> didnt see
[18:26] <coz_> NaSSiM`,  get out of the root terminal
[18:26] <toothpick> yes
[18:26] <Morphje> shorttech: i guess, i don't run linux desktops, sounds logical for me ;)
[18:26] <NaSSiM`> same
[18:26] <Morphje> i only run linux servers
[18:26] <NaSSiM`> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[18:26] <coz_> NaSSiM`,  then sudo apt-get install -f
[18:26] <shorttech> Pici, thank you
[18:26] <shorttech> Morphje, thank you
[18:26] <NaSSiM`> i tried with -f but same
[18:26] <ccvvcc> how can i remove smbd/squid from running at startup, i tried sudo update-rc.d squid remove it doesn't remove it
[18:27] <NaSSiM`> sudo apt-get install -f virtualbox-ose
[18:27] <alexleon> idk what i did -_- i installed compizconfig nd now all my windows open too high on the screen so i cant close maximize minimize or move :(
[18:27] <maco> alexleon: if you hold alt you can drag them around
[18:27] <Morphje> okay ... time for me to figure out vyatta and dump pfsense. ta ta for now
[18:27] <someluser> is the partition manager in the ubuntu text installer accessible after the the system has been installed?
[18:27] <milo_> slt
[18:27] <milo_> salut tout le monde
[18:27] <NaSSiM`> lol :)
[18:28] <xangua> someluser: sudo apt-get install gparted
[18:28] <Maestro> salut
[18:28] <alexleon> it doesnt work marco
[18:28] <NaSSiM`> milo_ ubuntu-fr
[18:28] <oCean> toothpick: ok. Are you sure there is no other instance of a packagemanager running?
[18:28] <shorttech> Pici, can you help with network-manager-vpnc?? I just installed the packages from software manager but now I dont know how access the software
[18:28] <someluser> @xangua i need to do lvm stuff, the guis won't work for me
[18:28] <NaSSiM`> tried with sudo apt-get install -f virtualbox-ose
[18:28] <NaSSiM`> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[18:29] <alexleon> they are stock up my screen
[18:29] <Pici> shorttech: You might need network-manager-vpnc-gnome as well, and then you'll likely need to restart network-manager: sudo service network-manager restart (or reboot).  Then you should be able to set it up via your network manager icon.
[18:29] <toothpick> oCean how can I check? just to restart?
[18:29] <neuticle> wells5878: dude, I'm an idiot, it's the allowoverrides all
[18:29] <neuticle> wells5878: that sets an override for the indexes, then you set it as an option
[18:30] <Pici> NaSSiM`: Please pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose
[18:30] <NaSSiM`> ok
[18:30] <neuticle> wells5878: set allow overrides to none for that directory, then set options indexes
[18:30] <xangua> NaSSiM`: try just sudo apt-get install -f
[18:30] <elgo> Does anyone know a SIRTS-decoder, or ASCII stereograms available for ubuntu?
[18:30] <neuticle> wells5878: I just saw it here setting up a new virtualhost...
[18:30] <oCean> toothpick: well you could do a restart of course, but with the command 'ps' you can search for running processes. For example  ps axuww | grep -i synap   will search for processes such as Synaptic packagemanager
[18:30] <shorttech> Pici, thank you, Ill give it a shot
[18:30] <elgo> or = for
[18:31] <NaSSiM`> xangua ah ok i thought i should add something after -f :)
[18:31] <beWilled> Hello all, I bought a domain name from goDaddy.com, already have my ubuntu 10.10 server up and running. Any help on linking my I think it has something to do with Nameservers. Any help?
[18:31] <NaSSiM`> now it's installing the lib stuff
[18:31] <rww> beWilled: ask Godaddy support. domain registration and DNS is generally handled on their end, not on your Ubuntu server
[18:32] <someluser> what is the name of the partition manager in the ubuntu text  installer?
[18:33] <beWilled> rww They will help me link the DNS with my http server?
[18:33] <rww> beWilled: that's their job, yes
[18:33] <beWilled> rww OK! thanks a bunch!

[18:37] <Maestro> BluesKaj: yeah, figured
[18:38] <Middle> Yeah i still need some help fixing my ati drivers :/
[18:39] <PythonSnake> are you sure that intel drivers are built-in ? cuz intel just eleased a new one..
[18:39] <PythonSnake> how to get it ?
[18:39] <Maestro> BluesKaj: what the command said was that eth0 was already configured
[18:40] <Maestro> I then tried to take it down with ifdown and then ifup it again, but no change
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> PythonSnake: if its just released, it may be on the xorg edgers ppa but it is EXTREMELY experimental and not really advised unless you know what you are doing?
[18:41] <PythonSnake> ActionParsnip: just trying to get latest drivers :)

[18:44] <ActionParsnip> I have a question: is a 3D desktop actually lighter on the CPU due to the 3D stuff being made in the video hardware, or do 2D desktops also use the GPU to draw the 2D desktop but faster due to no effects??
[18:44] <hookdump> Hello, anyone interested in using Apple hardware on Ubuntu? (i.e. Keyboard + Magic Mouse)
[18:44] <agentgasmask> almoxarife: Ah! I forgot about that. Is it compatable with docs created with ooo?

[18:45] <Middle> Stupid question: WHere is the | on an american keyboard?
[18:45] <hookdump> ActionParsnip: I'm no expert in the subject, but based on my own experience 2D desktops are much faster. I have a powerful PC with a powerful video card, and I've compared =D
[18:45] <rww> ActionParsnip: in my experience, compositing window managers shift burden from the CPU to GPU even with no effects turned on
[18:45] <almoxarife> agentgasmask: yeap
[18:45] <Middle> gah feck gotta go
[18:45] <rww> Middle: shift \, usually above the Enter key
[18:45] <alexleon> im gonna use arc mouse nad arc keyboard :D
[18:45] <zeppelin101> hey, for some reason when i try to use the Empathy IM client to add a Google Talk account, it will not let me enter the password ( i can't even click on the box to type it in). any ideas?
[18:45] <hookdump> zeppelin101: ubuntu 11.04 ?
[18:45] <alexleon> can someone help me with my metacity problem?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Rww: hmm interesting. Thanks for clearing it up
[18:45] <normalGuy> #germany
[18:46] <Maestro> BluesKaj: no, only on the wireless interface can see the router, not eth0
[18:46] <zeppelin101> hookdump: yes, with all the updates
[18:46] <tzhuang> Anyone here familiar with Evolution the mail client?
[18:46] <tzhuang> I'd like to dl mail from longer ago and store it locally, is this possible
[18:46] <hookdump> zeppelin101: You'll laugh... but... try moving the window to another place :P.
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> hookdump: true just wondered about workload shifting between GPU and CPU :-)
[18:47] <hookdump> zeppelin101: There was a bug, not sure if it's solved already... after some hours of usage, some window managers produce a dead zone for the mouse click
[18:47] <BluesKaj> Maestro, do you use a modeswitch on your internet connection ?
[18:47] <Maestro> I'm sorry, what?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> hookdump: yeah I've seen others report dead zones on desktops
[18:47] <zeppelin101> hookdump: didnt fix it. i really dont know why they did away with pidgin as the default IM client..
[18:47] <Maestro> I have a router if that's what you mean
[18:48] <john672z> I have a question
[18:48] <hookdump> zeppelin101: Agree. I *hate* empathy
[18:48] <john672z> I try to install mysql to use my emails
[18:48] <john672z> and its not working
[18:48] <Guest38993> where can i buy a earpiece for skype? i mean wireless
[18:48] <hookdump> ActionParsnip: Not sure, but I think the dead zone stuff is solved... I haven't had that problem for a couple months, at least.
[18:48] <john672z> It says I have to make it
[18:48] <tzhuang> Anyone here familiar with Evolution the mail client?
[18:48] <tzhuang> I'd like to dl mail from longer ago and store it locally, is this possible
[18:48] <hookdump> 1 month, rather
[18:48] <zeppelin101> hookdump: ok, uninstalling it :). i tried to give it a chance but i always end up getting rid of it. may i ask why YOU hate it, in particular, though?
[18:49] <almoxarife> Guest38993: store?
[18:49] <alexleon> what if i use bad words?
[18:49] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip, we need your expertise here , Maestro has an ethernet that's not seeing the router..I'm out of ideas.
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Guest38993: try in ##hardware
[18:49] <john672z> anybody can help me install mysql for my emails
[18:49] <john672z> it says I need it
[18:49] <hookdump> zeppelin101: Since it's kinda 100% integrated with the system, I do not recommend you to uninstall it. Anyway, I hate it bc it's kinda unstable for me. Not specific bugs or problems, it's just.. uncomfortable to use. Also, lack of file transfer, inconsistent handling of nickname/avatar, etc.
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: does dhcp work?
[18:49] <SSJ4Gotenks> is there any arab money here ?
[18:49] <Guest38993> ActionParsnip, can i buy such thing in israel?
[18:50] <hookdump> zeppelin101: I use www.emesene.org instead. It's not perfect, but it's the "less bad" im client I found :P. Better than aMSN imo
[18:50] <zeppelin101> hookdump: you like it better than pidgin?
[18:50] <john672z> WINDOWS IS BETTER THAN UBUNTU
[18:50] <john672z> WINDOWS IS BETTER THAN UBUNTU
[18:50] <FloodBot1> john672z: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Guest38993: its offtopic here
[18:50] <oCean> SSJ4Gotenks: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[18:50] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip,we tried dhclient eth0 , but not eth0=dhcp , his interfaces file is fine
[18:50] <hookdump> zeppelin101: emesene > aMSN > pidgin > empathy
[18:50] <zeppelin101> aha
[18:50] <hookdump> zeppelin101: (from better to worse)
[18:50] <Maestro> ActionParsnip: I use several other machines with the same router, I don't believe it's an issue with dhcp
[18:51] <hookdump> in my opinion
[18:51] <hookdump> you gotta try them yourself ;D
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> zeppelin101: i always rip it out
[18:51] <zeppelin101> too bad emescene doesn't support aim
[18:51] <AlReece45> 3333
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: but does the interface get dhcp ok?
[18:52] <almoxarife> zeppelin101: pidgin does, it kicks the lammas .........
[18:52] <zeppelin101> yea i think i'll just go back to pidgin
[18:52] <zeppelin101> tho emescene looks a lot more sexy
[18:53] <almoxarife> zeppelin101: yeah, they all do
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: old school dude. Made me smile
[18:53] <Maestro> ActionParsnip: how would I check/test for that?
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: sudo dhclient eth0
[18:54] <ShadowBelmolve> Hello, how i make metacity the default WM?
[18:54] <mookin> join #kdenlive
[18:54] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: :)
[18:54] <mookin> ops
[18:54] <Maestro> ActionParsnip: currently, the laptop doesn't even sense that an ethernet cable is plugged in at all, just fyi
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: mother approved ;-)
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: do the lights flash around the interface? Is the link light on at the router?
[18:55] <alexleon> can someone tell me why i cant close minimize or maximize windows? :(
[18:55] <alexleon> why :(
[18:55] <almoxarife> Maestro: you didn't try installing a firewall recently did you?
[18:56] <xangua> ShadowBelmolve: using unity ¿¿ try the !classic desktop
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Alexlon: enable the window decorator plugin in ccsm
[18:56] <Maestro> almoxarife: no ActionParsnip: no link light and none of the leds on the ethernet port has flashed since I installed ubuntu
[18:56] <alexleon> ok
[18:57] <ShadowBelmolve> xangua, already using the classic desktop, I want to use metacity as default because it give me 2x performance if compared with compiz
[18:57] <sideone> hey all, i am trying to add the following to the sshrc file, but am getting half of the output when the data is emailed to me.. any ideas? echo `/usr/bin/who am i` | /usr/bin/mail -s 'SSH Logon' foo@foo.org
[18:57] <xangua> ShadowBelmolve: metacity --replace &
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: tried a different cable to test, or a different port?
[18:57] <trism> ShadowBelmolve: the Ubuntu Classic (no effects) desktop uses metacity
[18:58] <Maestro> ActionParsnip: the cable is ok, I've just recently used it on a different computer
[18:58] <NaSSiM`> another error :)
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Sideone: whoami   it doesn't have spaces

[18:58] <ShadowBelmolve> trism, strange, "ps aux | grep -i 'metacity\|compiz'" only show compiz and compiz-decorator
[18:58] <alexleon> it woks :D
[18:58] <trism> ShadowBelmolve: are you sure you selected the (no effects) one and not the one that just says "Ubuntu Classic"?
[18:59] <ShadowBelmolve> xangua, this isn't the good way, I want to never try to start compiz.. starting compiz and than replacing with metacity is a bit... wrong
[18:59] <sideone> ActionParsnip; different commands. who am i != whoami
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: does the system have a make and model?
[18:59] <ShadowBelmolve> trism, lemme see
[18:59] <Maestro> ActionParsnip: it's a Dell Latitude D531 (top of the scrap heap, I know)
[19:00] <ShadowBelmolve> trism, lol, my friend disconnected :/, when he come back I will ask he, thx for the help :)
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Sideone: commands won't have spaces. Either that or you'll need to escape the spaces. Never heard of any linux binary witha space in
[19:00] <NaSSiM`> anyone can help getting an error after launching the virtualbox http://paste.ubuntu.com/639020/
[19:01] <zelozelos> where are the systems icons stored? (the default ones)
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: better than most of mine
[19:01] <sillykone> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. :)  I like it except for the fact that in this version I can't middle mouse click by holding down left and right mouse buttons.  Is there a workaround?  I tried looking in the "mouse" settings to see if there was anything new and didn't see any settings.
[19:01] <robin0800> ShadowBelmolve: metacity --replace in alt+f2
[19:01] <almoxarife> NaSSiM`: do you have dkms installed?
[19:01] <NaSSiM`> almoxarife i dont know it should've installed
[19:01] <sideone> ActionParsnip; they are arguements to the who program
[19:02] <sideone> ill try to escape them. thx
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: try websearching: laptop linux    there may be a how to. Do you dual boot it?
[19:02] <llutz> ActionParsnip: enter "who am i" in a terminal and see
[19:02] <ShadowBelmolve> robin0800, this I know, but I was searching a way to start metacity by default intead of compiz... no for starting compiz and then replacing it with metacity
[19:02] <llutz> ActionParsnip: compare with "whoami"
[19:02] <sideone> can anyone tell me how to find the address for the current ssh session?
[19:02] <sideone> i thought it was $SSH_CLIENT
[19:02] <sideone> or something close to that
[19:02] <almoxarife> NaSSiM`: virtualbox needs dkms, and that error usually means dkms did not run
[19:02] <zelozelos> ShadowBelmolve, you can always add 'metacity --replace' as a start up item ;)
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> sideone: if they are args to 'who' it doesn't need escapes
[19:03] <NaSSiM`> almoxarife any command on how to know if it's installed or nopt
[19:03] <Maestro> ActionParsnip: no, I don't dual boot it, and I've already done research for a two or three days before I asked here
[19:03] <tzhuang> looking for a gosu evolution user
[19:03] <zelozelos> where are the systems icons stored? (the default ones)
[19:03] <ShadowBelmolve> zelozelos, but compiz-decorator still running, so, not all the compiz things are killed ;)
[19:03] <oCean> sideone: what address?
[19:03] <almoxarife> NaSSiM`: how about the easy one, search for dkms in synaptic?
[19:04] <NaSSiM`> almoxarife im using a remote vps dont have the desktop
[19:04] <zelozelos> ShadowBelmolve, are you trying to slim down some, try xfce
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: what chip does the Ethernet use?
[19:04] <PythonSnake> ok thanks ActionParsnip
[19:04] <almoxarife> NaSSiM`: ok,
[19:04] <sideone> oCean; i am using sshrc to msg me when a logon is accepted, i am trying to craft the msg. I would like it to find the remote ip address of the ssh session
[19:05] <ShadowBelmolve> zelozelos, gnome runs ok, the problem itself is compiz killing the performance
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> llutz: no can do right now. Will try later though :-)
[19:05] <dmsuperman> I'm trying to boot a regular 11.04 desktop installer disc and it won't boot. It keeps hanging on the loading screen, it sounds like it keeps reading from the disc, then stopping, then reading again, then stopping, then reading again
[19:05] <Maestro> ActionParsnip: it's a Broadcom BCM5755M
[19:05] <bobweaver> hi there is there any one here that knows about writing scripts ? I am working on testing some tools with a distro and have found work around now I would like (i think) to write scripts to fix it by running that script is this the right way to think about this? all of it is in bash
[19:05] <dmsuperman> The console says /scripts/casper-bottom/10adduser: line 25: db_set: not found
[19:05] <TedMaul> Hello fellows, does one need a particular minimal CD image for 10.10 server? Or is the minimal image the same for both desktop and server
[19:05] <oCean> sideone: just 'w' outputs the from address for current session, but I don't think that's useful for you?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> sideone: can you paste the command again please?
[19:06] <zelozelos> ShadowBelmolve, it really can esp on older systmes. one thing ive found by accident is to make sure if im using cube its not set to any transparency while not rotating
[19:06] <arrrrcanum42> dmsuperman try to check the installation/live disc for errors instead of installing
[19:06] <sillykone> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. :)  I like it except for the fact that in this version I can't middle mouse click by holding down left and right mouse buttons.  Is there a workaround?  I tried looking in the "mouse" settings to see if there was anything new and didn't see any settings.
[19:06] <bullgard4> Does Ubuntu provide a picture upload service ?
[19:06] <sideone> oCean; w works, but i need to find the information for that session, not for all
[19:06] <bobweaver> like writing scripts to fix wireless cards ?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: could as in #bash too :-)
[19:07] <sideone> ActionParsnip : sideone pts/0 2011-07-06 13:12 (1.1.3.1)
[19:07] <oCean> sideone: I understand, don't have a solution to that right now
[19:07] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip, how do I write it I know the commands
[19:07] <sideone> oCean; ok cool, thanks ill just grab all inforamtion for now until i get time to troubleshoot. thanks.
[19:07] <bobweaver> I just dont know how to make it run ?
[19:07] <zelozelos> ShadowBelmolve, did you try killall compiz and the other one that kills the related processes?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: top line:   #!/bin/bash
[19:08] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, scripts also need to be marked as executable
[19:08] <ShadowBelmolve> zelozelos, I'm trying to avoid starting compiz, I've asked my friend to see if there is a 'no effects' login and I'm waiting he
[19:08] <bobweaver> ZykoticK9, thanks
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: then the rest is just the commands as you'd type them in termi
[19:09] <almoxarife> NaSSiM`: google 'dkms virtualbox modules' there is a command to do it in terminal, I just can't find it
[19:09] <bobweaver> is there an end command
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: terminal*
[19:09] <dmsuperman> bobweaver: exit?
[19:09] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, "end command" what do you mean?
[19:10] <bobweaver> to make the program stop
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: no, just save the file as anything you want, then mark the file as executable. You now have a script
[19:10] <dmsuperman> bobweaver: control+c
[19:10] <s_warlock> hi
[19:10] <bobweaver> so there is a header and a body but no ending
[19:11] <bobweaver> looking at it like a web page ?
[19:11] <dmsuperman> bobweaver: control+c
[19:11] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, correct
[19:11] <EmuAlert> I'm trying to delete my old Linux partition on /dev/sda6, but it gives the error "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 6" in gparted. How can I delete it?
[19:11] <dmsuperman> bobweaver: control+c
[19:11] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, ignore dmsuperman's control+c and exit -- NOT required
[19:11] <dmsuperman> lol?
[19:11] <dmsuperman> He asked how to exit a program
[19:11] <dmsuperman> How else do you propose?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: the script will run to the end and finish. Try to use full paths or you can use 'cd' like you normally would in terminals
[19:11] <dmsuperman> Magic and wishes?
[19:12] <s_warlock> is someone playing starcraft 2 and has an apu e350 wondering if the catalyst driver works better on ubuntu then archkĺinux
[19:12] <ZykoticK9> dmsuperman, no - he's talking about writing a script
[19:12] <oCean> sideone: anyway, it seems you're correct about $SSH_CLIENT
[19:12] <dmsuperman> Then "exit" is correct
[19:12] <dmsuperman> To exit a script
[19:12] <dmsuperman> You use exit.
[19:12] <bobweaver> ok I am off to write one will be back
[19:12] <ZykoticK9> dmsuperman, no
[19:12] <dmsuperman> lol
[19:12] <dmsuperman> ok
[19:12] <almoxarife> dmsuperman: that's why it's a help channel, for us less learned in terminal
[19:12] <dmsuperman> almoxarife: I'm not disagreeing with you there, I was trying to help him answer his question :)
[19:13] <robin0800> ShadowBelmolve: I think if your using classic 11.04 once metacity is selected it will remain and compiz will not be loaded
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: you can use scripts to make strings of commands you run a lot into one, or you can pass values and have logic act on those values
[19:15] <brewster> how can i load unity at startup instead of gnome?
[19:15] <bobweaver> say I need to be root what would I do ?
[19:15] <bobweaver> to remove some files
[19:15] <bobweaver> sudo -i
[19:15] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, don't become root!  use sudo
[19:15] <bobweaver> but then the password then exit to get out of root
[19:16] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, Ubuntu was designed to basically never use root (if you require "root" you are probably doing something wrong)
[19:16] <dmsuperman> If you just use sudo on a single command the permissions will end after it executes
[19:16] <dmsuperman> If you want to give an entire script root permissions, run the whole thing with sudo
[19:16] <bobweaver> wireshark needs root
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: sudo -i   is ok, just not great, just prepend your first command with: sudo
[19:16] <dmsuperman> bobweaver: gksu wireshark
[19:16] <dmsuperman> bobweaver: gksu = sudo for graphical applications
[19:16] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, wireshark needs gksu as dmsuperman just pointed out
[19:16] <wkbittner> sudo rm -rf *
[19:16] <ZykoticK9> !danger
[19:16] <defrex>  social?

[19:18] <go8765432> can chatzilla make some notifications ?
[19:18] <bobweaver> ZykoticK9, I see what you mean I could have a cd /wherever/ then have it run the chmod -x in order to delete the file
[19:19] <andeeeuk> Evening everyone
[19:19] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, ahh "chmod" is to changer permissions, not delete
[19:19] <andeeeuk> Evening everyone
[19:19] <sideone> oCean; thanks
[19:19] <andeeeuk> does anyone know any good apps to record from webcam?
[19:20] <andeeeuk> other than cheese
[19:20] <brewster> gasp
[19:20] <powe> guys, is there a way to run ubuntu server through USB? (a bit worried about the right limit in USB ... aka die at some point) is there a way to limit the writes?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk: xvidcap or recordmydesktop maybe
[19:21] <ZykoticK9> powe, running an OS from USB is MUCH slower then from a HD - just FYI
[19:21] <andeeeuk> can they record webcam though? I thought they were just to record session?
[19:21] <powe> yeap, but need to use it for a NAS server - don't want to use the disks -- RAID
[19:21] <bobweaver> do I have to run the command with && to run to gether or will the terminal know ?
[19:22] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, each new command on a new line is fine
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> powe: use mount options like noatime or similar. Also ext4 can be tuned nice to reduce journal or use ext2
[19:22] <bobweaver> thanks
[19:22] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, it will do one after another
[19:22] <andeeeuk> ActionParsnip are they not just to record desktop
[19:23] <ZykoticK9> andeeeuk, typically yes - they are for screen casts usually
[19:23] <powe> thanks ActionParnsip
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk: they may have options to record only a part of the desktop
[19:23] <ZykoticK9> andeeeuk, cheese really is the best gnu/linux has to offer for webcams
[19:24] <andeeeuk> ZykoticK9 thanks guys i was having problems with cheese earlier as it is very slow to actually record
[19:24] <Maestro> ActionParsnip and BluesKaj, thx for the help, I'm gonna test the hw with a debugging cd from the hardware vendor just to check if the hardware is still alive
[19:25] <andeeeuk> I am trying to record in HD or quite high res but seems very slow
[19:25] <bullgard4> Does Ubuntu provide a picture upload service ?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Maestro: gl
[19:25] <ShadowBelmolve> xangua, robin0800, trism thx guys, my friend as found the no effects session :P
[19:25] <brewster> andeeeuk: ubuntu one
[19:25] <ZykoticK9> bullgard4, picasa?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: to what service?
[19:25] <rww> bullgard4: No. Canonical doesn't provide one either, other than Ubuntu One
[19:25] <xangua> bullgard4: lots of programs to uplad pictures
[19:26] <andeeeuk> brewster: what about ubuntu one?
[19:26] <xangua> bullgard4: ubuntu one service allows you to upload and share documets, like dropbox
[19:26] <xangua> files*
[19:26] <andeeeuk> post on there
[19:26] <andeeeuk> ?
[19:26] <bobweaver> here is an outline guys any hints ?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/639034/
[19:26] <spies> hello - I'm having a bit of trouble with the archive manager - it's showing every subfolder in a .zip with the full folder path and does this when I extract it too, eg the folder name is "foldera\folderb\file.txt", including the backslashes!  Anyone got any ideas please?
[19:26] <andeeeuk> yeah, i have nothing to share really
[19:27] <andeeeuk> i thought there would be other applications that would record a webcam
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> !find zenden
[19:28] <ZykoticK9> bobweaver, the alternative to multiple sudo commands inside the script, would be to just run the script as sudo (you'll have to type your PW in anyways) - just my 2 cents, NOTHING wrong with the way you are doing it!
[19:28] <bobweaver> ZykoticK9, Good news then
[19:29] <bullgard4> ZykoticK9, ActionParsnip, rww, xangua Thank you for your help.
[19:29] <orudie> is ubuntu compatible with touchscreen ?
[19:30] <SnowmanX11> orudie: yes.
[19:30] <andeeeuk> orudie ubuntu has been capable of doing touchscreen for a long time
[19:30] <orudie> is it hard to set up ?
[19:30] <TrentonAdams> Anyone here use an Asus board with P67 or H67 chipset?
[19:30] <TrentonAdams> I'm talking desktop board.
[19:30] <andeeeuk> orudie sould be fairly easy to setup also
[19:31] <orudie> i'm thinking about getting one of those all in eone pcs, can anyone recommend one that would work best with ubuntu ?
[19:31] <orudie> and with touchscreen
[19:32] <andeeeuk> orudie i wouldnt know tbh
[19:32] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: I was wondering if Ubuntu provides a website where I could uplad a picture so that others can see it if I tell them a code number of the uploaded picture. Similar in function to  pastebinit for text. In the mean time I have got another 4 answers, and my curiosity is satisfied.
[19:32] <andeeeuk> orudie the support is really good for these devices though
[19:33] <ZykoticK9> !paste | bullgard4
[19:33] <Ool> as imageshack ?
[19:33] <rww> imageshack is annoying. imagebin is nice, as is imgur
[19:33] <andeeeuk> who know some good webcam applications for ubuntu?
[19:34] <superfly__> could someone please help me identify why my system is running so sluggish, running mint 11, thanks.
[19:35] <llutz> !mint > superfly__
[19:35] <bobweaver> superfly__, sudo apt-get install htop
[19:35] <bobweaver> then run it
[19:36] <andeeeuk> superfly__ solution = ubuntu :p
[19:36] <ZykoticK9> !mintsupport | superfly__
[19:36] <bobweaver> I like htop more then top
[19:36] <bullgard4> ZykoticK9, rww Thank you again.
[19:36] <EmuAlert> I'm using a live CD which is apparently using my preexisting swap parition, which I'm trying to delete. How can I stop using it to delete it?
[19:37] <llutz> EmuAlert: sudo swapoff -a
[19:37] <superfly__> ZykoticK9: llutz already activated the bot for that.  guess you did your good deed for the day, sigh
[19:37] <prince> heloo
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> superfly__, ya sorry - i checked the !mint factoid afterwards - there was a time those factoids where quite different and you needed the !mintsupport to show the help channel, no longer the case.  my bad.
[19:38] <EmuAlert> llutz: Thanks alot!
[19:38] <Maestro> my ethernet adapter hardware (rather unfortunately) passed all tests, which means unfortunately it's a driver issue
[19:38] <andeeeuk> what is everyones fav webcam app for linux?
[19:38] <oCean> !best | andeeeuk
[19:39] <dialtone> anybody here uses ubuntu in EC2?
[19:39] <Maestro> there's an official tg3 driver for my chipset from BCM, but when it doesn't work, there's no more options that I know of
[19:39] <ZykoticK9> andeeeuk, i think a better question for you would be "does anyone know an alternative to cheese?" - i certainly don't.
[19:39] <andeeeuk> yeah thats true, i was hoping someone would
[19:40] <andeeeuk> seems everyone uses cheese
[19:40] <prince> Is there a program to break the proxy on the Linux operating system
[19:40] <prince> Is there a program to break the proxy on the Linux operating system
[19:40] <prince> plees
[19:40] <prince> plz
[19:40] <prince> Is there a program to break the proxy on the Linux operating system
[19:40] <FloodBot1> prince: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:40] <KM0201> !repeat > prince
[19:40] <ZykoticK9> prince, please stop - once is enough
[19:41] <smw> dialtone, I do
[19:41] <dialtone> some of my instances in EC2 after almost 1 month exactly run out of disk space but after a reboot they go back to having a lot of disk space, there's no swap file in the instance and no swap configured, instances are ubuntu 11.04 but this happened with 10.10 too
[19:41] <prince> Give me the name of the program
[19:41] <dialtone> anyone has any idea why this happens?
[19:41] <prince> plz
[19:42] <Corey> prince: Define "break the proxy?"
[19:42] <dialtone> /tmp/ is pretty empty
[19:42] <NaSSiM`> Failed to open the X11 display!
[19:42] <astraljava> !patience | prince
[19:42] <NaSSiM`> anyone can help with this
[19:42] <ZykoticK9> NaSSiM`, are you using ssh?
[19:42] <NaSSiM`> yep
[19:42] <dialtone> and even when I remove files from /tmp/ a df shows the difference but the Available space remains at 0
[19:42] <bullgard4> andeeeuk: I like Cheese.
[19:42] <prince> Give me the name of the program plz
[19:42] <ZykoticK9> NaSSiM`, "ssh -X user@host"
[19:42] <toothpick> oCean: I just reformatted and everything installed just fine. so I had screwed something up
[19:43] <Northernen> prince, 'break the proxy'?
[19:43] <NaSSiM`> ZykoticK9 i am using ssh with the root user
[19:43] <andeeeuk> bullgard4 cheese is great, i just cant record my webcam with it
[19:43] <ZykoticK9> NaSSiM`, good luck then - i'm not helping with that.
[19:43] <andeeeuk> very slow
[19:44] <NaSSiM`> lol
[19:44] <NaSSiM`> ok
[19:44] <prince> Give me a link please
[19:44] <oCean> toothpick: aha! Good to hear it's fixed. Nice that you came back to tell :)
[19:44] <andeeeuk> i do have a HD cam though thought it would work well still
[19:44] <oCean> prince: what is your actual question?
[19:44] <Pici> prince: You need to rephrase your question, we don't understand.
[19:45] <prince> Is there a program to break the proxy on the Linux operating system
[19:45] <NaSSiM`> cant start virtualbox http://paste.ubuntu.com/639020/ im installing it from a remote ssh
[19:45] <Pici> prince: What does 'break the proxy' mean?
[19:45] <nopf> prince: why not break the linux system yourself? maybe you want 'stunnel'
[19:45] <prince> :(
[19:46] <tjiggi_fo> prince, have you tried asking in #ubuntu-lt?
[19:46] <ZykoticK9> NaSSiM`, did you install virtualbox-ose-dkms?  Running virtualbox as root is even more silly then sshing as root.
[19:47] <jakky> I work for IBM. So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about. But trust me.... You dont. I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you dont know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.
[19:48] <oCean> jakky: no need for such comment at all, thank you
[19:48] <iceroot> jakky:if you are not here for support, its the wrong channel for you
[19:48] <astraljava> jakky: Please do participate in the discussion, then. Everyone does what they can. Most often, bad advice gets rooted out by others who know better.
[19:49] <jamescarr> Hi.
[19:49] <metprophet> heyho
[19:49] <jamescarr> My app launcher is stuck in the right of my screen
[19:49] <jamescarr> it will not go away
[19:49] <jamescarr> please help! It is so annoying
[19:50] <jakky> You are all morons.
[19:50] <ghufran> hi, i have a password protected WD hard drive that i want to open in ubuntu. is that possible?
[19:50] <jakky> ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ Fuck the opers﻿ COPY AND﻿ PASTE﻿﻿ IF HATE﻿ THE﻿ OPERS
[19:51] <Jkessler> classy people ibm are hiring nowadays
[19:51] <Jkessler> "hiring"
[19:51] <iceroot> ibm seems to have great members :)
[19:51] <Myrtti> moving on
[19:51] <Ool> fake just bad troll
[19:52] <jamescarr> My app launcher is stuck in the right of my screen and will not go away.. any way to make it slide back out?
[19:52] <iceroot> ghufran: how is it protected? crypted inside hardware or just an encrypted filesystem?
[19:52] <peterhil> Hi! How can I tell if I can use the new Gnome Shell on my graphics card?
[19:52] <centHOGG> what isit
[19:52] <peterhil> I'm not sure if that card supported it, or if I just accidentally disaabled it...
[19:53] <ghufran> iceroot, i have no idea. it has WD software. i run unlock.exe and it asks for a password and then shows the folders
[19:53] <iceroot> ghufran: you are on windows?
[19:53] <altice> anyone able to help with a TFTPD issue?
[19:53] <ZykoticK9> ghufran, i'm guessing that is unlikely to work in GNU/Linux
[19:54] <ghufran> iceroot, this is how it works on windows. need to make it run on ubuntu..
[19:54] <bullgard4> andeeeuk: May be you should visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs and look up there the bugs listed with Cheese.
[19:54] <mdunlap> Cheese has always been a little buggy for me
[19:54] <jamescarr> My app launcher is stuck in the right of my screen and will not go away.. any way to make it slide back out?
[19:54] <iceroot> ghufran: sounds like a strange propitar solution
[19:54] <andeeeuk> thanks, i was jus going to have a good look around. Streaming video is fantastic
[19:55] <andeeeuk> will have a look at the bugs
[19:55] <altice> I am having an issue with being able to have the TFTPD daemon come up, looked at my open ports (netstat -a) and 69 does not show up, not sure if the TFTPD program is running, or if the config file is incorrect; any help troubleshooting would be appreciated
[19:55] <jamescarr> that comment about the opers telling people to copy and past into the channel
[19:55] <jamescarr> good times
[19:56] <DreamsVoid> Ok, trying to install 11.04 onto my desktop, and it can't find my partition table...I ctrl+alt+f2 into terminal, type cfdisk and it gives me a fatal error...Any ideas?
[19:56] <shorttech> Pici, are you there?
[19:56] <jamescarr> only downside is I looked like a moron by busting out laughing at work
[19:56] <shorttech> Pici, can you help me with the VPN connection?
[19:56] <mdunlap> @Dreamsvoid Try using gparted
[19:56] <ZykoticK9> DreamsVoid, are you installing onto either: RAID or a drive larger the 2TB?
[19:57] <DreamsVoid> ZykoticK9, no 250gb sata
[19:57] <buser> can't figure out why can't play any music (with banshee, amarok or rythmbox) till I have an open browser with youtube video playing or paused
[19:57] <ZykoticK9> DreamsVoid, is the sata plugged into some sort of "RAID" port on the MB?
[19:57] <buser> any advice and help appreciated
[19:57] <Guest12908> which distribution are you using?
[19:57] <buser> lucid lynx
[19:58] <DreamsVoid> ZykoticK9, no
[19:58] <iceroot> ghufran: i guess the first thing to find out is what technic is used to protect your harddrive
[19:58] <ZykoticK9> DreamsVoid, don't know then - good luck.
[19:58] <Maestro> dmesg | grep et0 gives me a line saying "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready", does anyone know something about it?
[19:58] <shorttech> can anyone help with VPN installation?
[19:59] <iceroot> Maestro: maybe it meens "address-conflict"?
[19:59] <DreamsVoid> mdunlap, gparted finds the disk
[20:02] <StevenR> hi. I've got some display corruption, pictures seem "ok", but there's some display aliasing, text is all invisible
[20:03] <StevenR> I can ctrl-alt-f2 to a console (irssi from there). This only occurred when I un-hibernated my laptop this evening. It's never occurred before.
[20:03] <Guest12908> Steven i suggets you to restar gnome configuration
[20:03] <mdunlap> @Dreamsvoid What exactly is the issue?
[20:04] <DreamsVoid> mdunlap, erm, other than my system shutting down just now? erm, trying to install 11.04, the installer cannot find the hard drive /dev/sda
[20:04] <DreamsVoid> mdunlap, its there, i select it to install the boot loader on it, and yeah, nothing
[20:05] <peterhil> Actually, I want to re-enable the Unity desktop. HOW?
[20:05] <StevenR> peterhil: choose "ubuntu" instead of "ubuntu classic" when logging in
[20:05] <mdunlap> Is this a fresh install or are you trying to upgrade or something?
[20:06] <DreamsVoid> mdunlap, W7/11.04 dual boot is the goal
[20:07] <DreamsVoid> mdunlap, i can't do anything right now, i'm just going to format the disk as i imaged the w7 partition yesterday and backup onto my server :)
[20:07] <mdunlap> You're going to need to install windows first and then ubuntu, so that ubuntu will set up the grub bootloader for you
[20:08] <mdunlap> It will then guide you through partitioning and all that jazz
[20:08] <DreamsVoid> mdunlap, forgot that +_+' so long since i had ubuntu on my desktop
[20:08] <Edisto> when i hit (ctrl + d) in terminal what signal is that sending?
[20:09] <mdunlap> np
[20:09] <guntbert> Edisto: EOF
[20:09] <PythonSnake> is a kernel upgrade worth it ?
[20:09] <improveupon> !ot
[20:09] <Edisto> how do i send signal interupt, for unix it is ctrl c but that doesn't work
[20:10] <mdunlap> Thats correct
[20:10] <ChogyDan> Edisto: maybe end of file
[20:11] <guntbert> Edisto: what do you want to do? normally you send signals with kill
[20:11] <o0_0o> Edisto: kill -(signalnumber) PID
[20:12] <Edisto> i'm trying to do a signal(SIGINT, function) and call a function upon sigint when its sent
[20:12] <snow_usa> hi
[20:12] <o0_0o> Edisto: is that C?
[20:12] <guntbert> Edisto: then kill -INT <pid>
[20:13] <snow_usa> I'm running vim on the server ; when I ssh to that, I don't want to pkill vim and vim the opened file again. Is there any way I can send a process (with processID) to background and fg it again ?
[20:13] <snow_usa> thanks.
[20:13] <Pici> snow_usa: I suggest that you use screen or another terminal multiplexer instead.
[20:13] <orchata> Hi guys. I wanted to know what type of privileges programs installed with wine have? Can they access internet? Can they access anything out of its wine directory?  Plus if it can access internet how can I restrict anything from wine to be able to access internet?
[20:14] <snow_usa> Pici, screen doesn't make much sense when you use it on your own desktop
[20:14] <snow_usa> Pici, do you understand me ?
[20:14] <guntbert> snow_usa: it does make sense - really
[20:15] <Pici> snow_usa: Because you don't want to use screen inside of screen? I usually open a separate terminal for each host I'm connecting to.
[20:15] <snow_usa> Pici, the problem is: do you actually screen on the computer infront of you?
[20:15] <snow_usa> not ssh anywhere !
[20:15] <snow_usa> when you go to  your gf's house and forgot to close vim
[20:15] <prezes> hello
[20:16] <guntbert> snow_usa: what is the difference?
[20:16] <alexleon> hey ppl
[20:16] <shorttech> can anyone help with VPN client?
[20:16] <snow_usa> guntbert, I never use screen when I'm workinig on my local machine
[20:16] <luigi_panache> I'm trying to configure pptpd on my Ubuntu server, and even though it looks fine I can't get my VPN client to connect...
[20:16] <luigi_panache> I get rejected.
[20:16] <luigi_panache> Bad auth, apparently.
[20:16] <snow_usa> just use screen when I ssh to some other remote servers
[20:16] <alexleon> i want water effect starts when ubuntu starts
[20:17] <prezes> how to play youtube vidoes in chromium by mplayer?can someone help me please.
[20:17] <luigi_panache> Anyone here good with VPN?
[20:17] <o0_0o> luigi_panache: no
[20:17] <oCean> snow_usa: so what do you mean? You start a vim on your local machine, then... ?
[20:17] <luigi_panache> o0_0o: Sigh, I'm guessing this channel's not the best place, eh?
[20:18] <Pici> luigi_panache: Just be patient.
[20:18] <Pici> !patience | luigi_panache
[20:18] <o0_0o> luigi_panache: what type of VPN?
[20:18] <ezrtyuiop> hello there
[20:18] <luigi_panache> Pici: I meant that when the archlinux channel was stumped coming here might not help. :P
[20:19] <snow_usa> oCean, and forget to close it ; now, I'm at school and want to access the same file that my vim at home is opening
[20:19] <PythonSnake> is a kernel upgrade worth it ?
[20:19] <luigi_panache> o0_0o: pptpd
[20:19] <ikonia> PythonSnake: no
[20:19] <o0_0o> luigi_panache: and the million-dollar question is?
[20:19] <Pici> PythonSnake: What upgrade?
[20:19] <oCean> snow_usa: in that case, when you are at school, your computer at home, is a remote machine right? If the vim session was started in screen, you could attach, and continue
[20:19] <prezes> how to play directly videos in chromium from youtube by mplayer?can someone help me please?
[20:20] <vlt> luigi_panache: Maybe I could help with OpenVPN ;-)
[20:20] <luigi_panache> o0_0o: My clients get rejected even with proper authentication. What the heck is going wrong?
[20:20] <Pici> PythonSnake: If you're using the supported repositories, then yes, otherwise, we don't support third party kernels.
[20:20] <luigi_panache> vlt: I need help installing it, since the guides I find are for corporate environments.
[20:20] <luigi_panache> vlt: But I'm happy to switch.
[20:21] <vlt> luigi_panache: Installing OpenVPN? "aptitude install openvpn"
[20:21] <oCean> snow_usa: so, screen is a valid suggestion, and saying I don't use screen locally, is not a valid reply
[20:21] <alexleon> ppl
[20:21] <luigi_panache> vlt: Configuring.
[20:21] <guntbert> snow_usa: in that case send it a -15 signal, you get the option to recover when you start it again
[20:22] <NaSSiM`> i've installed virtualbox 4 and im getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/639064/
[20:22] <alexleon> can i have my water effect on start up?
[20:22] <alexleon> uh?
[20:22] <NaSSiM`> after viewing the log file i have this  http://paste.ubuntu.com/639065/
[20:22] <alexleon> can i?
[20:22] <dmsuperman> How do I mount my encrypted home folder from another installation?
[20:22] <ChogyDan> NaSSiM`: 2.6.18?
[20:23] <vlt> luigi_panache: You need only a few config lines. Define one machine as server, assign a network (default is 10.8.0.0, I think), generate a server key/cert pair, then generate client keys. Easy.
[20:23] <maco> dmsuperman: ecryptfs-migrate-home?
[20:23] <NaSSiM`> ChogyDan yes
[20:23] <vlt> luigi_panache: There's a good collection of examples coming with Ubuntu's openvpn pkg.
[20:23] <luigi_panache> vlt: Where is the config file?
[20:23] <Pici> NaSSiM`: That doesn't look like an Ubuntu kernel version
[20:23] <NaSSiM`> lol
[20:23] <NaSSiM`> well it is ubuntu
[20:23] <NaSSiM`> :)à
[20:23] <NaSSiM`> 10.04
[20:23] <vlt> luigi_panache: Put everything in /etc/openvpn/
[20:23] <luigi_panache> vlt: I see nothing good under /etc/openvpn nor /etc/default
[20:23] <FloodBot1> NaSSiM`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:23] <luigi_panache> vlt: Oh, I add to it?
[20:23] <snow_usa> oCean, may be I don't understand screen quite fully
[20:24] <Pici> NaSSiM`: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list please?
[20:24] <NaSSiM`> ok
[20:24] <snow_usa> all I've dome is just "screen -dr "
[20:24] <alexleon> pff i dont even need it -.-
[20:24] <vlt> luigi_panache: "dpkg -L openvpn" lists all the files that came with openvpn. There you'll find the examples directory ...
[20:24] <ezrtyuiop> hello
[20:24] <ezrtyuiop> there
[20:24] <ezrtyuiop> i can't install cacti
[20:24] <oCean> snow_usa: it's just for that purpose you describe. You start a program in terminal (screen) and attach to that screen, continuing exactly as you left it
[20:24] <ezrtyuiop> can anyone help ?
[20:24] <NaSSiM`> Pici http://paste.ubuntu.com/639068/
[20:24] <luigi_panache> vlt: Thanks. I'
[20:25] <ikonia> Pici: it's one of the Redhat Hypervisor hosted data center ubuntu images
[20:25] <luigi_panache> m not used to dpkg...
[20:25] <oCean> snow_usa: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen
[20:25] <vlt> luigi_panache: When you've found a server congif example we can walk through it if you like.
[20:25] <dmsuperman> maco: No I currently have an unencrypted home dir. I want to keep it like that, but I want to access my old encrypted home dir
[20:25] <vlt> luigi_panache: *config*
[20:25] <ikonia> Pici: as I recall this one normally has the sudo stuff messed up and a few subtle changes
[20:25] <Pici> ikonia: ah, thanks
[20:25] <ezrtyuiop> this is the error what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/639069/
[20:25] <ikonia> I'm starting to learn what each DC build does to these machines
[20:25] <ezrtyuiop> during the installation of cacti

[20:25] <prezes> how to play youtube vidoes in chromium by mplayer?can someone help me please.
[20:25] <ezrtyuiop> i don't know what to do ?
[20:25] <ikonia> virtual box won't be happy running on this as it's already a virtual fuest
[20:25] <maco> dmsuperman: does it show the .desktop file for decrypting the old home dir if you navigate to it?
[20:26] <ikonia> guest
[20:26] <maco> dmsuperman: the old home dir's password is decrypted by your encryption key
[20:26] <prezes> how to play youtube vidoes in chromium by mplayer?can someone help me please.
[20:26] <luigi_panache> Dumb, dumb question but what's the subnet that starts with 172 officially?
[20:26] <ikonia> Pici: stop asking
[20:26] <ikonia> Pici: sorry
[20:26] <NaSSiM`> ikonia what do you mean
[20:26] <ikonia> prezes: stop asking - if someone knows they will answer
[20:27] <ikonia> NaSSiM`: that's not a proper ubuntu install, it's hosted from a Redhat host as an "image"
[20:27] <Pici> NaSSiM`: You'll need to install the source of the kernel that you're using and point the dkms installer at it
[20:27] <maco> dmsuperman: /home/.ecryptfs/USER/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase is where the encryption key is
[20:27] <dmsuperman> Yes maco, the .desktop is there. It points to ecryptfs-mount-private (which I don't have). How can I get at my old encryption key?
[20:27] <dmsuperman> This is a new installation
[20:27] <sveinse> Are there any archive formats which can be mounted via loopack?  cramfs is one, isn't it?  Others?
[20:27] <Pici> NaSSiM`: If this is a server, I suggest that you use KVM instead of virtualbox anyway.
[20:27] <ikonia> NaSSiM`: I don't believe vbox will run as from certain perspectives that machine is already a "guest" with no difect hardware access
[20:27] <StevenR> luigi_panache: 172.16.0.0/12 iirc
[20:27] <snow_usa> oCean, sorry, but I should type screen, and how to attach the vim into it ?
[20:27] <ikonia> direct hardware access
[20:27] <o0_0o> luigi_panache: RTFM RFC 1918
[20:27] <ikonia> Pici: I don't think kvm will fly on that machine
[20:27] <maco> dmsuperman: so you don't have what was in /home outside of /home/user ?
[20:28] <oCean> snow_usa: you type screen, and at that moment you are in a screen session. From there just type vim blah.txt and start editing
[20:28] <NaSSiM`> ikonia yes that's what i think also vps is a guest machine i think
[20:28] <dmsuperman> maco: There's also a /home/.ecryptfs
[20:28] <ikonia> NaSSiM`: it is a guest
[20:28] <prezes> maybe you use word please next time
[20:28] <snow_usa> oh oCean !
[20:28] <oCean> snow_usa: then do <ctrl-a><d> to detach
[20:28] <ikonia> NaSSiM`: although it's a a different process than the normal guest
[20:28] <snow_usa> I have already opened vim when I was at home
[20:28] <NaSSiM`> ikonia so i cant use any virtualisation on it.?
[20:29] <ikonia> NaSSiM`: I don't believe so
[20:29] <maco> dmsuperman: ../.ecryptfs/USER/.ecryptfs/ is where all the ecryptfs stuff is relative to the user's home dir
[20:29] <oCean> snow_usa: ok, in *that* case this won't help :(
[20:29] <NaSSiM`> ok thanks
[20:29] <snow_usa> oCean, that is what I want to do
[20:29] <ikonia> NaSSiM`: that's not fact, but from what I understand of how these machines are built and my experience "no" is the short answer
[20:29] <oCean> snow_usa: but for the next time, use screen :)
[20:29] <NaSSiM`> lol ok :)
[20:29] <snow_usa> oCean, I'm always lazy to use vim on local machine
[20:30] <snow_usa> oCean, via ssh is ok, since the network sometimes give me problems
[20:30] <ezrtyuiop> hello
[20:30] <ezrtyuiop> anyone there
[20:30] <o0_0o> !hi ezrtyuiop
[20:30] <ezrtyuiop>  cacti-cactid
[20:30] <ezrtyuiop> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:30] <NaSSiM`> ezrtyuiop 1565 people here :)
[20:31] <ezrtyuiop> error what i got during the installation of cactid
[20:31] <ezrtyuiop> impossible for me to install cactid http://paste.ubuntu.com/639069/ here pastebin
[20:32] <ikonia> !info  cacti-cactid
[20:32] <ikonia> !info cacti-cactid
[20:32] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: what repo did you get that from ?
[20:32] <ezrtyuiop> i got ubuntu lucid
[20:32] <ikonia> !info cacti-cactid lucid
[20:33] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: I think it's from a 3rd party repo as I remember not all of cacti is packaged from ubuntu
[20:34] <ezrtyuiop> here is my source ist : http://paste.ubuntu.com/639072/
[20:34] <maco> ezrtyuiop: apt-cache policy cacti-cactid
[20:34] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: you where in earlier as tyreza asking about this
[20:34] <dmsuperman> maco: Thanks a bunch, I unwrapped the passphrase and got it mounted :)
[20:34] <ezrtyuiop> yes correct
[20:35] <ezrtyuiop> but don't get any solution
[20:35] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: ok - and you had it explained to you then
[20:35] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: tyreza
[20:35] <ikonia> oops, sorry
[20:35] <ezrtyuiop> policy http://paste.ubuntu.com/639073/
[20:36] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: you have 3rd party repos and old repos in your sources - you have messed up your install
[20:36] <maco> ezrtyuiop: according to that, no active repositories on your system have it. its a random non-ubuntu-supported package
[20:36] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: you have virtual box, you have ubuntu dapper, you have virtualmin, you have lucid
[20:36] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: this was explained to you earlier
[20:37] <ezrtyuiop> well i removed drapper from source list
[20:37] <tzhuang> what does it mean if a filename has a * beside it when i do a ls in command prompt
[20:37] <ezrtyuiop> this is my new source list
[20:37] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: too late, your machine will be full of conflicts
[20:37] <tzhuang> running bash in ubuntu 11.04
[20:38] <ezrtyuiop> there is no conflict
[20:38] <ezrtyuiop> just only installation problem
[20:38] <NaSSiM`> lol
[20:38] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: yes there are
[20:38] <maco> ezrtyuiop: you need to remove that package
[20:38] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: your machine will be full of conflicts, you've had conficting repos installed and 3rd party repos
[20:39] <ezrtyuiop> and i guess also i guess there is very basic problem, and don't understand why ubuntu can't troubleshoot that simple probleme
[20:39] <maco> ikonia: if you run computer janitor, it should offer to remove anything htat doesnt have a repo present now though, right?
[20:39] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: it's not a basic problem
[20:39] <ikonia> maco: I don't believe this will, but possible
[20:39] <rww> ezrtyuiop: I am a hypothetical car salesman. You buy a car from me, then go add a bunch of aftermarket tires and spoilers and shiny rims and such. They make your car run badly. You come back to me and complain and ask for help. I will laugh at you.
[20:39] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: you have done silly managment of your machine and trusted 3rd party repos - this is issue, not ubuntu, your poor mangmagment. If it's a simple problem you should have no issues resolving it
[20:40] <maco> ezrtyuiop: you can try running computer janitor. i usually tries to remove things that arent in a repo you are currently using (to the annoyance of anyone who downloads random debs from the internet)
[20:40] <maco> ezrtyuiop: no guarantees itll actually get everything fixed, but it might at least remove some of the broken
[20:42] <fsync> should you be able to run Unity interface in 11.04 in Sun-Oracle VirtualBox?
[20:42] <ezrtyuiop> of course you can laugh, that not a reason to do not recondition the car to factory condition rww
[20:42] <TheNander> anyone know how to update to the latest ubuntu release on wubi?
[20:43] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: bottom line is - I would suggest reinstalling your OS with a current release.
[20:43] <TrevInc> fsync: no. It won't detect graphics accel.
[20:43] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: on the new install, keep 3rd party and old repos out
[20:43] <rww> ezrtyuiop: please feel free to grab an Ubuntu install CD, reformat your hard drive, and come back when you've restored your computer/Ubuntu to factory condition.
[20:43] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: I wouldn't trust your current install, or waste time trying to trouble shoot it unless you know what you are doing (just being honest)
[20:44] <ezrtyuiop> from the ubuntu lucid realease my machine is uptime
[20:44] <canu-qumm> Hello
[20:44] <maco> ezrtyuiop: when it comes to an operating system, reconditioning to factory condition means "reinstall"
[20:44] <ezrtyuiop> and contains more than 1 To of data
[20:44] <rww> ezrtyuiop: perhaps you shouldn't have messed it up then
[20:44] <canu-qumm> what is the name of dwm in the repos?
[20:44] <ezrtyuiop> there is no condition of reinstalling my system
[20:44] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: then you should look at a backup of the data to re-install the OS
[20:44] <maco> ezrtyuiop: reinstalling doesnt delete user data anyway
[20:44] <rww> ezrtyuiop: I'm sorry to hear that. Have a nice day.
[20:44] <rww> !info dwm | canu-qumm
[20:45] <ikonia> !lucid
[20:45] <maco> ezrtyuiop: just choose to use the same partiton you installed on before and uncheck the "Format" box. your home will be saved
[20:45] <luigi_panache> Jesus, OpenVPN takes a lot of configuration to log in...
[20:45] <luigi_panache> Certificates for everyone? Shoot me now...
[20:45] <ezrtyuiop> and also i paid for some service of installation
[20:45] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: that doesn't change anything
[20:46] <SUNNY007> Hello guys. I'm rying to install ubuntu on my other laptop compaq presario CQ42. But I cannot install it. Only 11.04 can be installed and that too only loads command prompt. Any help?
[20:46] <ezrtyuiop> there is no question for me to redo everything with lots of problems with my conf file
[20:46] <rww> ezrtyuiop: I'm sorry to hear that. Your system is not supported in #ubuntu. Goodbye.
[20:46] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: ok - then you need to accept that you can't install software on your machine
[20:46] <anomaliz> hi everybody
[20:46] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: you've created conflicts on your system, so there will be large software sections that will either not install, or work properly after install
[20:46] <ikonia> ezrtyuiop: if you're comfortable with that, great.

[20:50] <ikonia> lookin4: if they can they will respond to your question
[20:50] <SUNNY007> ikonia, still seems like no one can help me though :p
[20:50] <ikonia> SUNNY007: ah well
[20:50] <lookin4> ok
[20:51] <kate_r> hio
[20:51] <kate_r> how do i check if i have got x-symbols installed?
[20:51] <astraljava> SUNNY007: People will help if they know how.
[20:51] <jerry14> hi there, i'm interested in the new ubuntu and the Windows installer/
[20:51] <ikonia> jerry14: do you mean wubi ?
[20:52] <jerry14> ikonia, yes
[20:52] <SUNNY007> astraljava, I got that part. :) Just a little sad that no one seems to know how :p
[20:52] <ikonia> jerry14: what about it ?
[20:52] <ZykoticK9> !nomodeset | SUNNY007 have you tried this already?
[20:52] <jerry14> ok, I have windows 7 64bit, is it easy to uninstall?
[20:53] <ikonia> jerry14: within reason, yes
[20:53] <astraljava> SUNNY007: So 11.04 successfully installed, but when you boot into it, then you're dropped into a commad line?
[20:53] <astraljava> SUNNY007: Being precise helps to get help, you see. :)
[20:53] <jerry14> ikonia, the ubuntu - wubi.i mean
[20:54] <ikonia> jerry14: yes, and I answered
[20:54] <jerry14> ok
[20:54] <dee27> whats the purpose of encoding your movie to hd format???
[20:54] <lookin4> @astral can u help with my query?
[20:54] <rww> jerry14: Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a Program -> select Wubi in the list -> Uninstall
[20:56] <jerry14> I have a relatively unstable internet broadband connection, can I still install it? My internet connection disconnects and reconnects for a few seconds once in a while, it resets the router dsl connection
[20:56] <Kiler> http://brfacebook.blogspot.com  conheça o blog do facebook brasil
[20:56] <SUNNY007> Astraljava, yes. I installed 11.04 but it dropped me into a command line.  Ubottu, I have not, but I'm trying it now
[20:56] <rww> Kiler: don't advertise in here, please
[20:56] <ikonia> jerry14: yes
[20:56] <jerry14> ok
[20:58] <jerry14> ikonia, I have a question about doing apt-get... what happens if I am in the middle of updating ubuntu, and my internet connection drops, can it damage the update?, what if the some of the downloaded files are corrupt?
[20:58] <Polarina> I just upgraded to 11.10 and when I rename a file in nautilus, and hit backspace, it crashes. Is this a known problem?
[20:58] <ikonia> jerry14: yes, it can damage the update
[20:58] <ikonia> Polarina: 11.10 is not stable / supported. There is discussion in #ubuntu+1
[20:59] <rww> jerry14: if you're in the middle of downloading, then the download and the update will stop. if you're in the middle of installing the already-downloaded updates, that won't be a problem for most packages
[20:59] <lookin4> still no one with an answer? help please
[20:59] <echoJONES> #ubuntu-nc
[20:59] <io> Polarina: and check the bugs page on launchpad
[20:59] <ikonia> lookin4: if someone knows the answer - they will respond
[20:59] <rww> jerry14: packages are checked to make sure they're a valid package file before installing, so a half-downloaded package won't get installed
[21:00] <Triscar0> im connected to my server truh putty, and want to send an mail? how do i do it? do i need to install anyting?
[21:00] <ikonia> Triscar0: ssh and mailx
[21:01] <jerry14> ok
[21:01] <luigi_panache> I really need some help with OpenVPN. I've configured keys and certificates and everything and I still can't get my client to connect to the server.
[21:02] <luigi_panache> I just don't get what the hell I'm doing wrong.
[21:02] <jerry14> is Wubi - windows Ubuntu installer done through the web, or does it download it first then installs it?
[21:02] <lookin4> jerry.. download it
[21:02] <astraljava> SUNNY007: Right. Well, never had that happen for me, so try what others suggested already.
[21:02] <ikonia> jerry14: have you read any of the information on it yet ?
[21:02] <jerry14> ok
[21:03] <PythonSnake> what's the latest kernel ?
[21:03] <PythonSnake> supported by ubuntu
[21:03] <ikonia> !info linux-image
[21:03] <astraljava> lookin4: Sorry, what was your question? I'm sorry, this is a busy channel, as you can see. I missed your problem.
[21:03] <ikonia> PythonSnake: 2.6.38.8.22 is the current natty kernel
[21:03] <rww> PythonSnake: the kernel version for the most recent Ubuntu release is 2.6.38
[21:03] <ikonia> PythonSnake: if there is a kernel update available to you, update manager will notify and offer it to you
[21:03] <lookin4> i had windows xp on my one of my drives(another partition still ntfs) I installed ubuntu 10.10 on the windows xp partition by formatting it, still i get the grub with windows xp as one option.. how to fix this? ne1 help!!
[21:04] <lookin4> astral: have pasted it again
[21:04] <latagore> Hi, I have two trivial questions. Why can't games easily be written for Linux, and why is it that people prefer the command line (compiling) versus a GUI (installers)
[21:05] <zamba> how can i make a samba share available over the internet?
[21:05] <sudokill> latagore, ubuntu has the package manager
[21:05] <sudokill> there is no benefit to cli
[21:05] <ikonia> latagore: they are nothing to do with ubuntu, we only support ubuntu here
[21:05] <zamba> or do you have some other methods that i can use to share a folder over the internet between two linux machines?
[21:05] <zamba> preferably a safe way, but
[21:06] <ZykoticK9> sudokill, "there is no benefit to cli" actually there is - you should find a copy of "In the Beginning there was Command Line"
[21:06] <latagore> ikonia: What has nothing to do with Ubuntu?
[21:06] <sudokill> im talking about ubuntu
[21:06] <ikonia> latagore: your questions
[21:06] <SUNNY007> ZykoticK9, When I do this gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub, I get "cannot open display"
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> SUNNY007, are you using ssh?
[21:07] <BluesKaj> !ssh | zamba
[21:07] <latagore> ikonia: Where do you suppose I can ask my questions then?
[21:07] <sudokill> what benefit has sudo apt-get install vs installing from the package manager gui?
[21:07] <ikonia> latagore: ##linux ?
[21:07] <fluttershyfan> should I use ubuntu 10 or 11 if im installing on a computer with a pentium 4 processor and 1.5gb of ram with an ati graphics card?
[21:07] <ikonia> fluttershyfan: either
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> SUNNY007, from cli you could use "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" - FYI after any changes you need "sudo update-grub2"
[21:07] <latagore> ikonia: Okay, thanks
[21:07] <lookin4> go for 11
[21:07] <rww> sudokill: It's easier to give people directions to use apt-get than telling them to click a bunch of stuff over text-based support. In general, there is no difference.
[21:08] <sudokill> exactly
[21:08] <fluttershyfan> kk
[21:09] <latagore> rww: I see
[21:09] <TrentonDAdams> Anybody using a ASUS P67 or H67 board?
[21:10] <sudokill> no
[21:10] <ikonia> TrentonDAdams: why ?
[21:10] <jerry14> does the new Ubuntu 11.04 have Gnome? what is classic mode?
[21:10] <sudokill> gnome 2 afaik
[21:10] <sudokill> without unity
[21:10] <lookin4> ok guys m leaving.. feeling sleepy
[21:10] <ikonia> jerry14: I suggest you check out ubuntu.com and just get a basic idea of what you actually will get
[21:10] <lookin4> wish sum1 cud have helped
[21:11] <jerry14> ok
[21:11] <tripelb> chrome freezes up. often. few tabs open (5) no youtube, killed flash but it wasnt up. top tells me it's chrome. "stuck"

[21:12] <DJSkidd`> Hi
[21:12] <sudokill> hi
[21:12] <Webonaute> hi. is there a way to list all file from a folder and subfolder in one list. not like ls -alR
[21:13] <DJSkidd`> Anyone know how to get Ubuntu to recognize a JAR as an executable, not an archive?
[21:13] <Webonaute> I dont care about folder. only file
[21:13] <ikonia> DJSkidd`: a jar isn't an executable
[21:13] <DJSkidd`> minecraft.jar is
[21:13] <ikonia> DJSkidd`: it's a java archive, you don't execute it
[21:13] <ikonia> DJSkidd`: I don't believe it is
[21:13] <DJSkidd`> so how do I play Minecraft?
[21:14] <sudokill> Webonaute, you could add grep to the end of that maybe
[21:14] <sudokill> if you know what its called
[21:14] <DJSkidd`> do I have to extract the JAR somewhere?
[21:14] <luigi_p|away> DJSkidd`: java -jar minecraft.jar
[21:14] <ikonia> DJSkidd`: you launch it from a jvm - as the document on mincraft.com says
[21:14] <ikonia> minecraft.net sorry
[21:14] <ikonia> DJSkidd`: it even gives you the exact command to use
[21:15] <tiago> how can i download a paper by ssh?
[21:15] <ikonia> download a paper ?
[21:15] <sudokill> newspaper?
[21:15] <ikonia> what ? come on, ask a question properly
[21:16] <tiago> a scientific paper
[21:16] <TrentonDAdams> ikonia: because I'd like to buy a new computer, and want to ensure it works with linux
[21:16] <ikonia> TrentonDAdams: from where
[21:16] <tiago> i have the url
[21:16] <TrentonDAdams> ikonia: From where what?
[21:16] <sudokill> TrentonDAdams, yes it will work
[21:16] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: you have one?
[21:16] <jpds> TrentonDAdams: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/
[21:16] <ikonia> TrentonDAdams: ok - so you need to look at the chipsets on it, and look at what kernel versions support it, and then look if your distro uses that kernel
[21:16] <peterhil> Webonaute: On OS X this seems to work: ls -lFR
[21:16] <latagore> How can I backup my partition? I want to reinstall Kubuntu because of all the crap I did to it
[21:16] <sudokill> TrentonDAdams, no, but 99% of pcs work
[21:17] <DJSkidd`> terminal says Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from minecraft.jar
[21:17] <ikonia> tiago: you don't use ssh to get a url
[21:17] <sudokill> i know the 67 works
[21:17] <latagore> sudokill: But you're still bound to run into hardware support problem
[21:17] <zamba> BluesKaj: what does that answer?
[21:17] <zamba> BluesKaj: i know what ssh is
[21:17] <ikonia> DJSkidd`: are you using the sun jvm ?
[21:17] <tiago> ikonia: of course not, i was talking about commands such wget
[21:17] <tiago> if that would do
[21:17] <peterhil> Webonaute: Can't test on Ubuntu now, because my screen went amok wioth vertical stripes
[21:17] <DJSkidd`> No idea...
[21:17] <tiago> given that i have access by ssh to a server
[21:17] <DJSkidd`> should I get it from the site?
[21:17] <ikonia> tiago: wget works fine
[21:17] <DJSkidd`> The java site?
[21:18] <TrentonDAdams> ikonia: Yeah, that's essentially what I'm doing.  However, there are inconsistencies sometimes between MB manufacturers, even when they do use Intel chipsets, which are almost always supported on Linux.
[21:18] <DJSkidd`> I got it from terminal
[21:18] <latagore> tiago: You could try scp
[21:18] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: 99% of PCs will "run", that doesn't mean they "really" work.
[21:18] <ikonia> DJSkidd`: http://www.minecraft.net/community.jsp
[21:18] <DJSkidd`> Gotcha.
[21:18] <jpds> TrentonDAdams: Look at the certification pages.
[21:18] <DJSkidd`> Will go there now.
[21:18] <sudokill> TrentonDAdams, most work
[21:18] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: e.g. it's annoying when your gnome terminal window takes forever to scroll because the video card isn't supported.
[21:19] <sudokill> lots of people use the 67 on linux
[21:19] <jpds> TrentonDAdams: Those machines have been tried and tested by the cert team.
[21:19] <DJSkidd`> Man, I love the Unity workspace.
[21:19] <sudokill> TrentonDAdams, all video cards should be supported unless theyre really unknown
[21:19] <TrentonDAdams> jpds: Yeah, I took a look, but those are all canned systems.  I want to build my own.
[21:20] <sudokill> TrentonDAdams, what gpu are you going to use
[21:20] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: Nope, the ASUS H67 was having problems a couple months ago with the integrated video.
[21:20] <latagore> TrentonDAdams: You could look at the parts they use to build them
[21:20] <tofaffy_> Hello, while trying to start/stop/restart ssh via "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart|start|stop" I get an error saying that rather than invoking the script, I should use the service utility. I have no desire to do this, and want to be able to start ssh how I am used to. How can this be fixed.
[21:20] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: Probably nVidia, because they "actually" support linux.
[21:20] <PythonSnake> http://pastebin.com/4brRAVNq help?
[21:20] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: well, so does ATI I suppose
[21:20] <sudokill> yea
[21:20] <TrentonDAdams> latagore: That's probably a good idea.
[21:20] <sudokill> well if youre going to use nvidia, you know it will work :s
[21:21] <sudokill> not sure about the h67 problem
[21:21] <DJSkidd`> AARGH
[21:21] <DJSkidd`> Maybe I should try Chromium
[21:21] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: EXACTLY! :D  I just want to know about the rest of the components.  USB3, SATA (usually works), fan control, cpu temp monitoring, etc.
[21:21] <sudokill> maybe theres been a kernel update since or some other fix
[21:21] <sudokill> ubuntu should enable all thos for you
[21:22] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: Yeah, no reports of any fixes to that.  Intel themselves obtained an ASUS board, and couldn't figure it out.  But, I haven't heard any reports since then.
[21:22] <sudokill> go for p67 then
[21:22] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: They did reproduce the problems though.
[21:22] <sudokill> to be safe
[21:22] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
[21:22] <sudokill> afaik theyre pretty much the same thing
[21:22] <sudokill> p55 /h55 was anyway
[21:22] <canu-qumm> hey guys
[21:22] <canu-qumm> do any of you have experience on DWM?
[21:23] <blue112> Hi here.
[21:23] <TrentonDAdams> sudokill: Yeah, it's my understanding they are identical, except the integrated video component option.
[21:23] <sudokill> i have a p55 asus so no exp with the 6 series
[21:23] <blue112> I can't play any sound (mp3, video) for more than a few second (3-4), then, the sound cut off, even if the player look likes it play normally.
[21:23] <canu-qumm> while logging out to change sessions from Ubuntu to DWM, DWM does not work, I installed the following packages via prompt: dwm suckless tools.
[21:24] <canu-qumm> Any idea of why it isn't working?
[21:24] <winvince> hello tout le monde :)
[21:24] <canu-qumm> Oh boy.
[21:24] <canu-qumm> You guys sure help a lot.
[21:24] <sudokill> damn
[21:25] <sudokill> impatient lol
[21:25] <genii-around> canu-qumm: It's been less than 2 minutes, give it time
[21:25] <sudokill> but yea, no idea
[21:25] <engammalsko> Hi, I can't boot Ubuntu 11 from my SSD, only from my HDD. I don't even have a grub menu, just a grub rescu prompt. Please help me.
[21:25] <Corey> canu-qumm: Define "doesn't work."  What do the logs say?  What is the expected behavior?  What do you see happening instead?
[21:25] <sudokill> engammalsko, did it used to work?
[21:25] <Corey> !pm | canu-qumm
[21:26] <latagore> Are there any special precautions I should take when backing up my Ubuntu partition with dd? Will dd if=/dev/sda2 of=~/ubuntu.img suffice?
[21:26] <engammalsko> sudokill: I built my computer today so, no. But Windows 7 booted from the SSD.
[21:26] <Corey> latagore: Urm... I do hope your ubuntu partition isn't on /dev/sda2. :-)
[21:26] <latagore> engammalsko: Did you change hard drives?
[21:26] <blue112> Any help ?
[21:26] <latagore> Corey: Why do you say that?
[21:27] <unkonwn> hi every one ^^
[21:27] <canu-qumm> Corey: After I've selected DWM from the session selection, the session stays with the same wallpaper of the login manager, and it stays blank.
[21:27] <latagore> Corey: Oops, I see what you mean
[21:27] <djskidd> Linux, you're not supposed to crash! Leave that to Windows.
[21:27] <mrdeb> can someone help me remove teh jupiter
[21:27] <TrentonDAdams> latagore: Precautions, just don't do it. :D  Use rsync.
[21:27] <TrentonDAdams> latagore: :D
[21:28] <canu-qumm> !help
[21:28] <djskidd> !help
[21:28] <engammalsko> latagore: What do you mean? I didn't just install the harddrives but all the components. Or did you mean if I've tried to switch places? Then why would the ubuntu install work and windows 7 install work but ubuntu can't still boot.
[21:28] <canu-qumm> Corey: got my messages?
[21:28] <shorttech> can anyone help with network manager - VPN connection?
[21:28] <KERNEL44> Hello everybody
[21:28] <engammalsko> Does someone know how grubrescu works?
[21:29] <Corey> canu-qumm: Stay out of my PM window plesae.
[21:29] <Corey> please*
[21:29] <Corey> !pm > canu-qumm
[21:29] <latagore> engammalsko: If you change around your drives, grub may be unhappy and you'll have to update its grub.cfg with sudo update-grub2 with a live ubuntu CD
[21:29] <canu-qumm> Okay.
[21:30] <canu-qumm> I was about to dump a load of text right now, thought that would be immature and unreasonable.
[21:30] <latagore> canu-qumm: THere is the pastebin for that
[21:30] <canu-qumm> So Corey, you asked me a question regarding my issue.
[21:30] <engammalsko> latagore: I'll try it out, I'm on live cd atm
[21:31] <djskidd> How do I connect to irc.esper.net?
[21:31] <canu-qumm> No man, I'm talking about message "as in, I was pissed off and I was gonna talk a lot"
[21:31] <unkonwn> is it possible to read sms form a 3g modem with minicom ?
[21:31] <canu-qumm> Corey: and now you say to stay out of your PM window?
[21:31] <latagore> canu-qumm: Ah lol. Sorry
[21:31] <canu-qumm> latagore: it' s ok
[21:31] <sudokill> canu-qumm, calm down a bit you havent been here long lol
[21:31] <Corey> canu-qumm: Again, what do the logs say?
[21:31] <engammalsko> latagore: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'.
[21:31] <huros> your mother havent been here long
[21:32] <Corey> huros: Not helpful.
[21:32] <canu-qumm> Corey: no logs lol
[21:32] <extraclassic> canu-qumm: you're better off reading a tutorial on dwm...for one thing you installed it from a repo and you should compile it
[21:32] <Corey> !dvm
[21:32] <Corey> extraclassic: Pretty sure that "compile it yourself" isn't the Ubuntu way. :-)
[21:32] <canu-qumm> extraclassic: wait I was supposed to compile?
[21:33] <sudokill> no
[21:33] <huros> i love sauerkraut
[21:33] <extraclassic> Corey: dwm has to be recompiled every time you change it's configuration
[21:33] <engammalsko> latagore: Where should I have the root thingy? I choosed "/" Maybe I should choose "/boot" or "/home" etc?
[21:33] <canu-qumm> extraclassic: all I did was "sudo apt-get install dwm" hoping it would.. erm..
[21:33] <shorttech> anyone good with VPN?
[21:33] <Corey> extraclassic: Citation needed?
[21:33] <Corey> shorttech: Ask your real question.
[21:33] <sudokill> canu-qumm, if you installed it from repo its better that way
[21:33] <latagore> engammalsko: I can't remember how to do it, you could try installing grub againg
[21:33] <KERNEL44> use APT on CD
[21:33] <huros> and bratwurst
[21:33] <Corey> !ot | huros
[21:34] <engammalsko> latagore: how? sudo apt-get ? But how do I know if it will install on the ssd and not on the hdd?
[21:34] <latagore> engammalsko: Just a moment
[21:34] <sudokill> engammalsko, root is / not/home
[21:34] <canu-qumm> Corey: nothing actually appears, I choose DWM from the session selection and after logging in, the wallpaper stays the same and it doesn't even log in.
[21:35] <huros> wer anderen eine bratwurst brät hat ein bratwurst bratgerät
[21:35] <RA_drc> !tor
[21:35] <latagore> engammalsko: Which one has Ubuntu on it?
[21:35] <Corey> canu-qumm: And the logs show nothing at all?  I find that questionable.
[21:35] <TrD> i'm looking for an application level firewall for Ubuntu any idea ??
[21:35] <engammalsko> sudokill: I had alot of options, like opt etc. But I choosed /
[21:35] <canu-qumm> Corey: that depends, what are you talking about?
[21:35] <latagore> sudokill: How do you list out the disks on your system again?
[21:35] <Corey> huros: Stop, please.
[21:35] <sudokill> latagore, fdisk -l
[21:35] <KERNEL44> you talking like a red Hat administrator huros lol
[21:35] <engammalsko> latagore: Both.
[21:36] <extraclassic> Note that by omitting compiling dwm from source a great deal of customizability is lost, since dwm's entire configuration is performed by editing its source code.
[21:36] <Corey> !logs | canu-qumm
[21:36] <canu-qumm> Corey: what logs? I've never seen any logs in my session.
[21:36] <Corey> Er...
[21:36] <extraclassic> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dwm#Method_1:_ABS_rebuild_.28recommended.29
[21:36] <Corey> That's ridiculous as far as factoids go.
[21:36] <shorttech> Corey, I need help setting up my VPN through the network manager settings. I would like to import my cisco pcf. file but there is no import button inside network manager settings
[21:36] <KERNEL44> Danke
[21:36] <canu-qumm> !logs
[21:36] <Corey> canu-qumm: /var/log contains a bunch of logs. Try reading them. :-)
[21:36] <shorttech> Corey, in the past I have used Kvpnc which has an import button.
[21:36] <RA_drc> !tor-sasl
[21:36] <canu-qumm> Corey: is the session log there?
[21:36] <sudokill> extraclassic, ive never used dwm but im guessing its a plain config text file?
[21:37] <Corey> canu-qumm: It's your system that's afflicted, you tell me. :-)
[21:37] <huros> kernel44: ein sehr interessanter vergleich
[21:37] <TrD> ubottu: if there are an application level firewall for Ubuntu please ?
[21:37] <huros> :-D
[21:37] <engammalsko> brb
[21:37] <latagore> sudokill: That didn't give me anything; I'm looking for the names hard disks on engammalsko's computer
[21:37] <extraclassic> sudokill: not sure...I used it for like 30 minutes
[21:37] <KERNEL44> here the english is essential
[21:37] <canu-qumm> Corey: well I got no idea and I'm looking for help. I don't know where to look at for these "logs".
[21:38] <KERNEL44> i'm french so...
[21:38] <engammalsko> latagore: What? The ssd is sdb if that helped you.
[21:38] <Corey> canu-qumm: Again, these logs live in /var/log/, most likely X*.log
[21:38] <latagore> engammalsko: and which do you want it working on?
[21:38] <extraclassic> canu-qumm: you want a tiling wm, so I'd try awesome
[21:39] <latagore> engammalsko: Ubuntu I mean
[21:39] <engammalsko> latagore: Ehrm? sdb?
[21:39] <shorttech> Corey, do you think you can help?
[21:39] <KERNEL44> someone know the new game with DSK and Berlusconi BUNGA BUNGA ?
[21:39] <latagore> engammalsko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows This should solve your problem if you want grub as your bootloader
[21:39] <engammalsko> latagore: I want it to work on the ssd, and the ssd is on sdb... So yeah, I want ubuntu to work on the sdb/ssd? Do you understand?
[21:39] <Corey> shorttech: I do my Cisco VPN config manually, and I'm convinced NetworkManager is a plague.  So probably not. :-)
[21:39] <arr3> I'm learning python right now, and I've been using gedit. Every time I want to run my script, I have to either call the interpreter manually or edit the executable flags. Is it possible to get gedit to automatiaclly set the executable flag when I save a file?
[21:39] <sudokill> canu-qumm, how come you want dwm as well as unity?
[21:39] <latagore> engammalsko: Yeah, sorry about that
[21:40] <Corey> !ot | KERNEL44
[21:40] <DriversBroken> hey latagore
[21:40] <canu-qumm> Corey: the only things with X in /log/ is Xorg.log from 1 to 6 or something..
[21:40] <DriversBroken> I've found more resources
[21:40] <sudokill> canu-qumm, xorg0.log
[21:40] <DriversBroken> latagore:  see this http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-7-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-links/
[21:40] <extraclassic> sudokill: he saw a screenshot where someone made dwm look good so it convinced him to use it
[21:40] <engammalsko> latagore: This is what I get on bootup from ssd (not from hdd) http://www.linuxpedia.fr/lib/exe/fetch.php/expert/grub2/grub_rescue1.png?w=580
[21:40] <KERNEL44> Ok!
[21:40] <canu-qumm> sudokill: unity? lol I use classic not Unity.
[21:40] <canu-qumm> sudokill: And I want DWM.
[21:40] <latagore> DriversBroken: Hey, I decided I'm just gonna reinstall windows; I really screwed up my partition this time lol
[21:40] <sudokill> ok
[21:41] <KERNEL44> No I've got a problem with my labtec Webcam1200 support
[21:41] <DriversBroken> latagore:  Well if you need a clean reinstallation disk, you can get it off there
[21:41] <sunny007> ZykoticK9, I'm not using SSH. I'm trying to install from a USB stick.
[21:41] <latagore> DriversBroken: I have the installation disk installed on my hard drive XD
[21:41] <latagore> engammalsko: I know, that's what I thought
[21:42] <DriversBroken> latagore:  okie doke, just remember that if it's something that hp or dell gave you its likely to have lots of crapware
[21:42] <shorttech> anyone else can help with VPN?
[21:42] <engammalsko> latagore: So, do you have any solution?
[21:42] <latagore> DriversBroken: It was a clean install I made
[21:42] <latagore> engammalsko: I gave you a link
[21:42] <extraclassic> canu-qumm: i'd try experimenting in virtualbox with it
[21:42] <KERNEL44> I'm not sure this matérial recognize
[21:42] <canu-qumm> sudokill: okay so Xorg.0.log won't open
[21:42] <shorttech> Corey, the problem with a manual setup for me is that my group password is encrypted
[21:42] <canu-qumm> extraclassic: it's a GUI not an OS
[21:43] <sudokill> canu-qumm, what does it say? permission denied?
[21:43] <engammalsko> latagore: resend.
[21:43] <luc_> ll the command to find out if my computer ecooginized my pci vidoe capture card
[21:43] <canu-qumm> sudokill: Yep.
[21:43] <latagore> engammalsko:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[21:43] <shorttech> Corey, do you know of a way to show the encrypted password?
[21:43] <canu-qumm> sudokill: No no it wasn't that.
[21:43] <Corey> shorttech: Ask the network admin.
[21:43] <canu-qumm> sudokill: It says Geditor had problems reading the character encodings.
[21:43] <engammalsko> latagore: Wtf has windows with anything to do? Thjat's not my problem...
[21:44] <latagore> engammalsko: That will help restore Grub
[21:44] <sudokill> canu-qumm, in terminal do cat /var/log/xorg.0.log
[21:44] <engammalsko> latagore: okay then.
[21:44] <canu-qumm> sudokill: k
[21:44] <shorttech> Corey, that will be a big hassle, because they dont want me to have a linux machine
[21:44] <latagore> engammalsko: Regardless of what it was caused by
[21:44] <shorttech> Corey, stupid IT guys
[21:44] <Corey> shorttech: It's for work presumably-- they get to set the rules.  If you don't like them, work elsewhere.
[21:45] <canu-qumm> sudokill: done, im on Guake Terminal
[21:45] <canu-qumm> so my prompt is actually next to Irssi
[21:45] <canu-qumm> sudokill: I did it, now what?
[21:45] <sudokill> now you should be able to see the log
[21:46] <sudokill> not sure if ubuntu has a built in wgetpaste type thing or not
[21:46] <canu-qumm> [    41.649] (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "SEC", prod id 13144
[21:46] <canu-qumm> [    41.649] (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines:

[21:46] <canu-qumm> that is what it says
[21:46] <sudokill> just those 3 lines?
[21:46] <canu-qumm> Nope, it's the same thing just with different numbers on the left part
[21:46] <shorttech> Corey, if were in front of me I tell you to F off. Its kind stupid that IT get to shove whatever they are MOST COMFORTABLE down my throat.
[21:46] <canu-qumm> repeated like 5 times
[21:47] <sudokill> canu-qumm, i dont know about dwm but maybe its because you have no config
[21:47] <Corey> shorttech: You can keep it civil, or you can leave.
[21:47] <canu-qumm> sudokill: What, config? explain.
[21:47] <luc_> can anybody tell me the command to find out if my computer recoginized my pci video capture card for my camera to work on it
[21:47] <sudokill> canu-qumm, with the window managers you need to config them yourself usually
[21:47] <Corey> shorttech: It's their network, their equipment, their rules.  They get to decide what their respective policies are.  If they won't give you the password, you may be somewhat hosed.
[21:47] <sudokill> canu-qumm, if you're new to linux then i wouldnt bother
[21:47] <canu-qumm> sudokill: No man I've been with Linux for like 8 months now
[21:47] <shorttech> Corey, its my computer actually.
[21:48] <Corey> shorttech: But it's their VPN concentrator. :-)
[21:48] <canu-qumm> sudokill: So how do I configure DWM?
[21:48] <sudokill> canu-qumm, did you do any research on dwm before you installed it? like how to set it up?
[21:48] <sudokill> canu-qumm, i have no idea what to do for dwm i dont use it
[21:48] <jimmie> Hey guys, does anyone know how I can make windows maximise actually into the launcher?
[21:48] <sudokill> canu-qumm, things like windows manager you cant just install them and expect them to work with no knowledge at all
[21:48] <canu-qumm> sudokill: nope, because I was supposing they would give me a default design of DWM and let me do the other stuff.
[21:48] <TheFuzzball> jimmie You mean minimise?
[21:48] <bluezone> transmission doesn't seem to allow the torrents to start downloading/uploading, any ideas?
[21:49] <sudokill> canu-qumm, for all i know the default could be a blank screen... openbox default is
[21:49] <scialex> bluezone, you sure you got a connection to trackers
[21:49] <TheFuzzball> jimmie, System Settings > Dock > Minimise windows into application icon
[21:49] <extraclassic> i think all you can see are numbers up top for the workspaces for dwm defalt
[21:49] <extraclassic> default
[21:49] <bluezone> scialex, probably, but how do i check that
[21:50] <bluezone> scialex, ahhh it jsut started
[21:50] <canu-qumm> sudokill: I'm looking at a guide...
[21:50] <sudokill> canu-qumm, id do some googling on it
[21:50] <extraclassic> wallpaper you probably need nitrogen or feh
[21:50] <sudokill> yea good idea
[21:50] <bluezone> scialex, every time i ask a question it solves itself lol
[21:50] <scialex> cool
[21:50] <nicofs> I am signed in tu Ubuntu One with the wrong account - how can I change the account I am using?
[21:51] <sudokill> canu-qumm, as extra said, to do simple things like change your wallapaper youd need a program like feh and have a command load at stratup
[21:51] <scialex> bluezone, to answer your question though you can click on properties and go to the trackers tab. it will show you if there are problems connecting to the trackers.
[21:51] <bluezone> scialex, found it thanks
[21:51] <canu-qumm> sudokill: best advice?
[21:51] <sudokill> canu-qumm, archlinux has some good guides should guve you enough info
[21:52] <sudokill> but not all of it can be applied to ubuntu of course
[21:52] <sudokill> canu-qumm, my best advice would be to keep reading until you know roughly what you're doing
[21:55] <canu-qumm> sudokill: got it all done now
[21:55] <sudokill> ok cool
[21:55] <nicofs> Please, can someone help me with that ubuntu one thing?
[21:55] <uRock> I get the feeling I just jacked up grub. Windows was on /dev/sda1, which I just deleted to make an NTFS storage partition. / is on sda/7 I ran update-grub and all seems well, but I get the feeling that with WIndows gone I will not have a bootable system
[21:55] <canu-qumm> sudokill: All I need to know is how to make it work correctly.
[21:56] <BrianH> Has anyone made a purchase through the software center?
[21:56] <BrianH> I just got screwed, and I don't know where to file a complaint about it.
[21:57] <sudokill> what they took too much money?
[21:58]  * uRock wonders -- "Should I be installing grub before trying to restart my system?"
[21:58] <peterhil> Is there some way to 1) select virtual consoles 2) Kill X 3) Switch X modes by default on Ubuntu. I have problems with video driver apparently. It very frequently gives vertical stripes on the display
[21:58] <BrianH> No, they billed me the right amount.  I paid for Illumination Software Creator, but I didn't realize it was an outdated version and that the software center is going to screw me by only providing me with an Ubuntu license.
[21:58] <peterhil> Now I didn't even get the chance to set avahi config and dyndns for that machine so I could log in with SSH
[21:59] <peterhil> before the stripes kicked in
[21:59] <BrianH> Version 3.2 was released 28 days ago, why isn't the version in the USC up to date?
[21:59] <froq> jimmie, i don't understand your Q, wanna repeat it?
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> !latest | BrianH
[21:59]  * uRock wonders -- "Should I be installing grub before trying to restart my system?"
[22:00] <peterhil> The video card fan on the other hand makes kind of funny noise - maybe the fan is going to break
[22:00] <canu-qumm> sudokill: any idea of where the dwm package is?
[22:00] <sudokill> uRock, not if ubuntu grub booted windows for you
[22:00] <FluttershyFan> if my computer only has 1.5gb of ram, how much swap space do I need for ubuntu 11?
[22:00] <canu-qumm> sudokill: im going to download the man file now and I'm going to learn how to customize it to my likings.
[22:00] <sudokill> ok, i thought you already had dwm installed?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> BrianH: not sure about paid apps personally, hmm. Is there anything in software centre?
[22:00] <robin0800_> nicofs: think if you remove your machine under devices and reboot and then sign in again
[22:00] <almoxarife> I have an odd problem, I like using Miro, Miro does a really good job of keeping a video library current if you use it, I also like using ps3server, it allows me to watch that video from miro on the big screen, my issue comes down to somehow having miro accept that the show being watched thru ps3server is equal to being seen thru miro ( then it would update, remove the stale and d/l new stuff) , so, how does one in terminal fake out
[22:01] <canu-qumm> sudokill: turns out its recommended to have the man file.
[22:01] <canu-qumm> sudokill: because it contains the config.h file which is used to customize the dwm.
[22:01] <sudokill> the man file probbaly ownt help much
[22:01] <uRock> Thanks sudokill I was worried that I needed the boot sector from WIndows in tact. thanks again
[22:01] <canu-qumm> sudokill: then what shall I do?
[22:01] <sudokill> uRock, nah, if grub was what booted both OS's then dont worry about the deleted windows it'll still boot
[22:01] <BrianH> So I have to get shafted by the Software Center until they think it's a stable version to release?  I could have otherwise purchased the same software directly from the developers and received ALL versions (Ubuntu, Mac, Linux) with access to the most recent versions.
[22:01] <peterhil> Anyway, it was a stupid decision to disable those by default...
[22:01] <Eitan> and here comes ubuntu on my macbook pro
[22:01] <Eitan> lets see what happens
[22:02] <sudokill> canu-qumm, i have no idea ive never used dwm
[22:02] <sudokill> how come you want dwm over the already installed gnome anyway?
[22:02] <canu-qumm> sudokill: Those are preferences, and because I'd like to try a different GUI.
[22:03] <canu-qumm> sudokill: I've been through Gnome and KDE4 already, XFCE is still one I haven't tried though, but I wanna see how DWM turns out.
[22:03] <BrianH> ActionParsnip, Not sure what you're asking.  I made the purchase from the Ubuntu Software Center.  Thats what my problem is.
[22:04] <almoxarife> canu-qumm: why can't you install dwm like you did the others?
[22:04] <sudokill> BrianH, hes saying the versions arent always the latest, because ubuntu chooses stability over cutting edge
[22:04] <canu-qumm> almoxarife: I did it, it didn't turn out how I expected.
[22:05] <canu-qumm> almoxarife: After logging in, it was all a blank screen with my login manager wallpaper on it.
[22:05] <canu-qumm> almoxarife: and yes I had changed my session to DWM
[22:05] <odam> does ubuntu work for laptops?
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> canu-qumm: Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it’s pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions     Nice words huh
[22:05] <sudokill> odam, yes
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> odam: yes
[22:06] <BrianH> sudokill, I can understand why they wouldn't host the "latest" version if that were the case, but I don't even have access to use the latest version because the Ubuntu Software Center doesn't even give me a real license.
[22:06] <odam> is 11.04 a good system?
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> odam: that's anopinion, so cannot be concrete
[22:06] <almoxarife> odam: no
[22:06] <sudokill> BrianH, no idea :s ive never purchased anything
[22:06] <almoxarife> odam: not yet
[22:06] <nicofs> robin0800_, ok, now it works and i have both computers using the same account... but the folders don't synchronize...
[22:06] <sudokill> odam, unity is probably ok for laptops
[22:07] <vanmik> hi all, can i do that with django template system — http://pastebin.com/1jR8dA60 ? it's not working now, "value" not reacheable in {% if %} statement — page actually render without errors, but if doesn't return true (and it must return true)
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> odam: I think it's fine
[22:07] <odam> ActionParsnip, will my mic/camera drivers work for ubuntu?
[22:08] <almoxarife> odam: what laptop you have?
[22:08] <odam> its a toshiba
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> odam: depends on the hardware, The drivers you have are most likely for Windows and are of no value to you
[22:08] <almoxarife> odam: me too, worked out of the box :)
[22:08] <sudokill> theres more than 1 toshiba laptop lol
[22:09] <canu-qumm> ActionParsnip: So, instead of help you tell me I just can't do it because I'm a noob? nice helping techniques you got there.
[22:09] <odam> toshiba sattelite A3O5D
[22:09] <odam> or 0
[22:09] <sudokill> canu-qumm, thats what ive been saying all along
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> canu-qumm: not my words, read: http://dwm.suckless.org/
[22:09] <sudokill> if you cant read log files, how can you set up dwm?
[22:09] <odam> satellite even
[22:09] <almoxarife> odam: 64bit?
[22:09] <almoxarife> odam: satellite here too
[22:09] <odam> idk
[22:09] <Corey> canu-qumm: Please strive to be less confrontational here; we're all volunteers.
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> canu-qumm: those are from the dwm site. I'd personally avoid people writing like that
[22:10] <canu-qumm> sudokill: you don't expect everyone to know HOW to read log files, right?
[22:10] <robin0800_> nicofs: and both computers are in devices? also make sure folders you want to synchronize are selected under cloud folders
[22:10] <sudokill> canu-qumm, like i said, if you have no clue, do lots of googling and reading up on it first
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: seems like an elite club, the tone of the site is really smarmy
[22:10] <almoxarife> odam: when I bought mine there was no mention of 64bit, did the ubuntu 64bit install by accident, worked, then I found out I had the 64bit laptop
[22:10] <nicofs> robin0800_, rebooting did the trick...
[22:10] <sudokill> canu-qumm, well reading logs is one of the most basic things tbh
[22:10] <sudokill> no offense
[22:10] <odam> lol
[22:11] <Corey> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I'm not such a fan of interfaces that require huge learning curves to pick up.  Then again I like vim, so...
[22:11] <odam> my crappy computer installed 64bit
[22:11] <sudokill> thats not me trying to be rude, but i think you should research first without getting annoyed in here
[22:11] <odam> i had thought it was 32bit bcoz crappy system
[22:11] <odam> but it turns out that the Celeron D processor is 64bit lol
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> Corey: as long as it does what I needi'm happy to put effort in
[22:12] <sudokill> nano vs vim
[22:12] <canu-qumm> sudokill: Dammit, all I want is DWM not having to learn how to read something I don't give a shet for
[22:12] <Corey> ActionParsnip: Granted, but "I can't make this work" being met with "That's probably because you're stupid" by the developer doesn't exactly endear me to them. :-)
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> odam: 64bit it quite common
[22:12] <sudokill> canu-qumm, you cant have it then
[22:12] <sudokill> stick to gnome
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> Corey: yeah totally but as long as the support is there its cool
[22:16] <sudokill> if you dont want to learn how to do it then theres nothing you can do, its not as simple as "installing it"
[22:16] <Maylow> canu-qumm, I want money not heaving to work... shame
[22:16] <odam> does anybody know how to get games to work on ubuntu?
[22:16] <Corey> !games | odam
[22:16] <odam> i tried running republic commando on 10.10 and it never works for me
[22:16] <nicofs> Every time I close my Laptop's lid, the system suspends even though I set it up differently...
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> odam: did you check the appdb?
[22:16] <odam> appdb?
[22:16] <almoxarife> odam: 11.04 ubuntu is going thru a identity crisis, hence why I said no, gnome? unity? hybrid? lots of tricks though that people are coming up with, so, that might be fun too
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | odam
[22:16] <Maylow> odam, PlayOnLinux from software center could help
[22:16] <canu-qumm> sudokill: But I don't want Gnome, and I don't want Windows or KDE or XFCE or VIm or Nano or whatever GUI is out there, I want DWM.
[22:16] <sudokill> nano and vim arent guis
[22:16] <canu-qumm> sudokill: Sounded like they were lol.
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> odam: not all games work.Some refuse to even install, some work better than under windows
[22:16] <Maylow> odam, it's a pretty nice UI ove wine + prepared game configurations
[22:16] <sudokill> canu-qumm, you want dwm yet you havent tried it, and cant be bothered to read up on it. good luck with that
[22:16] <Maylow> odam, and not only for games
[22:16] <canu-qumm> sudokill: I already read a guide.
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> odam: also ceck if there is a loki installer for it too
[22:16] <odam> loki?
[22:16] <canu-qumm> sudokill: Oh boy, gonna have to spend some 10 weeks reading some old poop to use DWM.
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> odam: you'll see
[22:16] <sudokill> canu-qumm, yep
[22:16] <almoxarife> poop
[22:16] <aeiou> any idea where the source for flock is?
[22:16] <Mandrake> #nick
[22:16] <canu-qumm> canu-qumm: lol i can pm myself
[22:16] <sudokill> canu-qumm, its not for noobs, thats why i sggested using gnome until you want to put some work in to get dwm
[22:16] <aeiou> (the program)
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> aeiou: flock is dead dude
[22:16] <odam> ActionParsnip, i found this link: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7255 what do i do now?

[22:16] <canu-qumm> sudokill: I've been using Gnome for months o-o
[22:16] <aeiou> really
[22:16] <sudokill> canu-qumm, and?
[22:16] <aeiou> ActionParsnip, what are the alternatives?
[22:16] <sudokill> some poeple use it for years
[22:16] <canu-qumm> sudokill: So if I have 35 years using Gnome, it doesn't matter?
[22:16] <qin> canu-qumm: Is it not simpler to use Awesome, since is practically preconfigured?
[22:16] <sudokill> not if you like it
[22:16] <sudokill> canu-qumm, i understand though you want to change and play around a bit

[22:18] <ActionParsnip> Mandrake: I preferred it as mandrake, was my 2nd distro
[22:18] <aeiou> ActionParsnip, nonono not the browser
[22:18] <keimckk> I have Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop and for some reason recently my computer has started to shut down by its self, its starting to get annoying and was wondering if this was a known Ubuntu issue or if it has to do with my actual laptop itself ?
[22:18] <sudokill> odam, what page?
[22:18] <aeiou> like /sbin/flock
[22:18] <Mandrake> Sudokill IDGAF
[22:18] <sudokill> what does that stand for

[22:19] <sudokill> i think youll need to do winecfg though
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> aeiou: without installing the browser you won't have the binary, so there is no 'alternative' that simple
[22:19] <sudokill> odam, idk, read it?
[22:19] <odam> ok lol thanks
[22:19] <Mandrake> @ActionParsnip - It was my 3rd distro lol

[22:22] <rgl> I've upgraded from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 but now it does not boot at all. grub seems to be spinning the cpu and not show the menu at all. any idea how to troubleshoot this?
[22:22] <Mandrake> #channel
[22:22] <aeiou> ActionParsnip, yes - but osx 10.6 doesnt have it
[22:22] <Noble_> What causes the least overhead you think, AirVideoServer running in Wine or in VirtualBox?

[22:25] <cpruitt> When editing /etc/default/grub do I add new parameters INSIDE of quotes and if so are they separated by spaces (as command line options are?  So for example would `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"` become `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet noapic"` or `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" noapic` ?  Everything I'm reading just says to "add it to the end of the line" but nothing seems to indicate the correct syntax.
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> cpruitt: in the quotes like the first one
[22:26] <canu-qumm> almoxarife: you life saver :D
[22:26] <canu-qumm> almoxarife: that helps me!
[22:26] <nicofs> Is there a way to monitor the progress synchronization in Ubuntu One? It has been synchronizing some MB for ages now... is it supposed to be that slow?
[22:26] <cpruitt> ActionParsnip: So it's GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="space separated list of options" correct?
[22:27] <sudokill> cpruit 99% of the time it's always in the quotes seperated by spaces
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> cpruitt: exactly. Mine is: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1"

[22:29] <DarkM> Hi guys
[22:29] <DarkM> I'm having troubles with shrinking/growing my raid partitions. I got md2 & md1, I managed to shrink md2, but when I try to grow md1 it says no free space left on disk, any ideas ?
[22:29] <cpruitt> ActionParsnip: Thanks very much.  That's very helpful.  If I do something wrong will `sudo update-grub2` alert me and cancel the update or just hose my boot loader?  ;-)
[22:29] <canu-qumm> almoxarife: kay dude
[22:31] <DarkM> Anybody ? :/
[22:32] <rewt> is md1 first on the drive?  when you shrunk md2, did it just free up space after it, so you have: md1, md2, space ?
[22:32] <DarkM> rewt: Its a raid device so basically I got this :
[22:32] <Geekydude4> Does anyone know if there is a C programming channel?
[22:32] <rewt> Geekydude4, try #c or ##c
[22:32] <Geekydude4> thanks

[22:33] <joepros> hi i run a pc repair shop.  I have a visual basic program i use to install basic software on windows pcs...acroreader, service packs, etc.  I run it off a flash drive now but it has gotten over 8 gigs. was hoping someone new a server that would run this for me
[22:33] <DarkM> I want my sda1 and sdb1 to get space from sda2 and sdb2
[22:33] <DarkM> So I managed to shrink md2
[22:33] <DarkM> At least it seems like it
[22:34] <Nobgul-bnc> joepros, this is #ubuntu help channel. Not sure that this is the right place to ask that question, honestly not sure what channel to point you towards either
[22:34] <xyos> joepros try http://ninite.com
[22:34] <nicofs> In my energy options in the section "When battery power is critically low" I can only choose between Suspend/Hibernate/Shutdown - I want neither... Is that possible?
[22:34] <rewt> yeah, so when you shrunk that, you probably created space between sda2 and sda3 (and similar on sdb)
[22:35] <rewt> you may need to nudge sda/b2 down to sda/b3 to make space between sda/b1 and sda/b2
[22:35] <|Anthony|> i made a sounds theme and installed it in /usr/share/sounds
[22:35] <|Anthony|> but there are some sounds that don't play even though i followed the freedesktop.org sound naming spec... My primary concern are system-bootup and system-ready.
[22:35] <DarkM> Hmm..
[22:36] <DarkM> rewt: I have no idea how you do that, could you tell me the name of the command tool to do that
[22:36] <DarkM> And i'll google it
[22:36] <sudokill> DarkM, gparted would be safer
[22:36] <sudokill> as you cant get a command wrong
[22:36] <DarkM> Then what option would it be ? :o
[22:36] <DarkM> Plus..
[22:36] <DarkM> Its a server
[22:36] <DarkM> I can only use parted
[22:36] <FloodBot1> DarkM: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:36] <sudokill> shrink and grow options
[22:36] <sudokill> oh ok sorry no gui...
[22:36] <sudokill> lol
[22:36] <|Anthony|> i get the feeling that these sounds wont play because they are stored in /usr... is there a different place they should be installed for a global effect?
[22:36] <DarkM> X) Sorry :D.
[22:37] <rewt> `man parted` says there's a move command to move the partitions, but i'm not sure how well that behaves with raid
[22:38] <DarkM> Gosh :/
[22:38] <DarkM> Gonna google more and more
[22:38] <sudokill> i have no exp with raid
[22:38] <sudokill> no idea about data losssss etc
[22:38] <DarkM> :/
[22:39] <sudokill> DarkM, are you trying to grow a partition with no free space in front of it?
[22:40] <ijkm> http://nowaygetreal.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/google-vs-the-others/
[22:40] <DarkM> Nah
[22:40] <DarkM> I do have free space
[22:41] <almoxarife> does opening a file flag same?, how can I see realtime flagging?
[22:41] <almoxarife> I have an odd problem, I like using Miro, Miro does a really good job of keeping a video library current if you use it, I also like using ps3server, it allows me to watch that video from miro on the big screen, my issue comes down to somehow having miro accept that the show being watched thru ps3server is equal to being seen thru miro ( then it would update, remove the stale and d/l new stuff) , so, how does one in terminal fake out

[22:49] <sudokill> it just does it better than windows
[22:49] <shamess> *daemon
[22:49] <sudokill> DriversBroken, try the system monitor choose it and select kill
[22:50] <FluttershyFan> I started computer up again and now all I get is a black screen, and im able to move a mouse around
[22:50] <RA_drc> !bit
[22:50] <Eitan> soooo, what could be the cause of the battery not working anymore on my backbookpro after installing ubuntu......
[22:50] <DriversBroken> sudokill:  No, I thought that poorly managed dependency hell updating was something linux fixed.
[22:50] <sudokill> what dependency hell
[22:50] <almoxarife> shamess: there is
[22:50] <sudokill> ubuntu does it all for you
[22:50] <DriversBroken> sudokill:  Well, windows has dependency hell, I was just venting abit at windows :P
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: it can happen, its just rare
[22:51] <shamess> almoxarife: Lovely! What is it?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> shamess: no but you can install an ftp server, or install openssh-server and get an sftp server
[22:51] <DriversBroken> sudokill:  I have no idea which process it is
[22:51] <sudokill> neither do i
[22:51] <sudokill> :(
[22:51] <shamess> ActionParsnip: Oh right. SFTP would make me more comfortable, so I'll set that up. Thanks.
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> Eitan: which macbook isit?
[22:52] <DriversBroken> sudokill:  Well, I do have a "zombie" process, should I kill that?
[22:52] <sudokill> DriversBroken, maybe try rebooting if its hung and try again it shouldnt be hanging...
[22:52] <qin> DriversBroken: You cannot kill zombie
[22:52] <sudokill> if rebooting isnt a problem
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> shamess: also allows secure access outside of the LAN
[22:53] <guitar_dave> hello auspicious panel of of intellectuals

[22:54] <sudokill> hi
[22:54] <guitar_dave> sudo...hello
[22:54] <sudokill> \''/ ^_^ \''/
[22:54] <guitar_dave> and Python
[22:55] <guitar_dave> is there a way for me to review past chats?
[22:55] <FluttershyFan> so.. are there any reasons ubuntu just sits here at a blank screen when it starts?..
[22:55] <sudokill> guitar_dave, what irc client do you use
[22:55] <sudokill> guitar_dave, it depends if you have logging enabled
[22:55] <guitar_dave> xchat
[22:55] <qwer> just installed gridwars, when I play about 5 min it gets closed .... Why could that be ??
[22:55] <sudokill> i use that, should be in home folder /.xchat2 logs
[22:55] <sudokill> or similar idk i disable logging
[22:56] <guitar_dave> home folder....
[22:56] <sudokill> actually i think you have to manually enable it, check in the settings
[22:56] <glac> can anybody help me with a camera issue?
[22:56] <sudokill> guitar_dave, make sure hidden files are shown and it'll be called .xchat2
[22:56] <guitar_dave> ok..i just clicked the preferences tab
[22:57] <xyos> whats your issue?
[22:57] <sudokill> guitar_dave, now logging...
[22:57] <sudokill> see if enable logging of convos  to disk is enabled
[22:57] <sudokill> if not, then you cant view them
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> qwer: try disabling compiz first
[22:57] <guitar_dave> sudo...under discussions?.
[22:57] <sudokill> under "chatting" on mine
[22:58] <qwer> ActionParsnip: using fluxbox, there is no compiz
[22:58] <sudokill> idk maybe i have a different version, youll find it
[22:58] <glac> xyos I can't manage to import photos from my canon powershot to my comp. I've tried using gtkam and gphoto2, but they aren't working
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> qwer: cool, try launching it from terminal
[22:59] <qwer> ActionParsnip: already did that ;)
[22:59] <sudokill> it should display errors
[22:59] <guitar_dave> sudo... i will check out how folder
[22:59] <qwer> but it still hangs after about 5 min
[22:59] <qwer> closes*
[22:59] <guitar_dave> *Home* folder
[23:00] <sudokill> ok
[23:00] <Eitan> action: macbook pro 3-1
[23:00] <qwer> ActionParsnip: will try it now with more less graphic effects
[23:00] <Eitan> 3,1
[23:02] <guitar_dave> sudo...worked great
[23:02] <belal> !find libXv.so.1
[23:02] <Chocky> so, HDMI output on my intel chipset on my desktop used to work, and I could select HDMI audio out.  but now, there's no option.  Not sure if this was before Natty upgrade or not.  what's missing?
[23:02] <sudokill> guitar_dave, ok
[23:03] <guitar_dave> everything is in home folder under xchat2
[23:03] <sudokill> yea
[23:03] <guitar_dave> :)

[23:04] <xyos> i preffer xmonad for tiling windows you should try it too
[23:05] <Chocky> anyone?
[23:05] <sudokill> Chocky, is there no hdmi out in the audio driver bit
[23:06] <Chocky> why?  Licensing issueS?
[23:06] <sudokill> ?
[23:06] <Chocky> indeed, ? yourself.
[23:06] <Chocky> HDMI video and audio (to my TV) used to work.
[23:07] <sudokill> have you checked in the audio device section
[23:07] <sudokill> to see if its still set to default
[23:07] <Chocky> there was an explicit option there for the audio.  But now it's gone
[23:07] <Chocky> hm, wait
[23:07] <qwer> Gridwars kicks me out after some minutes of playing .... Why could that be??
[23:07] <Chocky> sorry, was wrong
[23:08] <Chocky> how about the HDMI video?
[23:08] <qwer> This is printed into terminal: "appstub.linux signal handler 11"
[23:08] <canu-qumm> erm
[23:08] <zeppelin101> do you guys know any text editors you would recommend? I do not want to use gedit, vim or ultraedit for various reasons..
[23:08] <sudokill> nano
[23:08] <canu-qumm> guys..
[23:08] <sudokill> is the best
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> zeppelin101: nano all the way
[23:08] <sudokill> lol
[23:08] <zeppelin101> isnt nano commandline..
[23:08] <FluttershyFan> it seems ubuntu wont start with my graphics card in
[23:08] <sudokill> yea
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> zeppelin101: yep
[23:08] <canu-qumm> alt+p shouldnt interfere when im on a program
[23:08] <canu-qumm> but it does
[23:08] <zeppelin101> hardy har har..
[23:08] <canu-qumm> and now i cant scroll down
[23:09] <canu-qumm> lol
[23:09] <sudokill> zeppelin101, gedit and nano are the best 2 imo
[23:09] <FloodBot1> canu-qumm: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> zeppelin101: or leafpad
[23:09] <qwer> got the solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=854208
[23:09] <canu-qumm> lol
[23:09] <zeppelin101> sudokill: it so happens that gedit actually cant open certain files that vim can,for example. but vim is just annoying compared to notepad++ or gedit for example
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> FluttershyFan: did you disable the onboard in BIOS first?
[23:09] <sudokill> canu-qumm, im sure youll enjoy all sorts of problems
[23:09] <sudokill> zeppelin101, vim is annoying yes, and slow to use
[23:09] <canu-qumm> sudokill: Yeah, I'm new so I will encounter problems and I will feel happy about fixing them by myself.
[23:10] <FluttershyFan> yes
[23:10] <sudokill> zeppelin101, what do you mean cant open? nano should be able to open ones gedit cant
[23:10] <zeppelin101> sudokill: gedit couldnt open a malformed html file
[23:10] <zeppelin101> and i want a GUI text editor
[23:10] <bastidrazor> sudokill: if you don't know how to use it.
[23:10] <sudokill> not sure about those... lol
[23:10] <Nisstyre> yes
[23:10] <bastidrazor> zeppelin101: scite
[23:10] <sudokill> bastidrazor, i do know, i just prefer nano
[23:10] <canu-qumm> sudokill: there's like 9 workspaces
[23:10] <FluttershyFan> it starts up perfectly when its not in, but when it is in it just stays on splash screen forever
[23:10] <zeppelin101> bastidrazor: i'll look it up
[23:11] <canu-qumm> sudokill: so when there's not many processes, i can keep chrome in one and terminal on other
[23:11] <sudokill> yea
[23:11] <extraclassic> zeppelin101: bluefish is a gui text editor that's geared towards html
[23:11] <sudokill> you can change to however many workspaces you want
[23:11] <sudokill> 2 is good enough for me
[23:11] <muchon> en que canal en español me pueden ayudar ?
[23:11] <zeppelin101> so far all i can say is that Notepad++ >>>>>>>>> everything else
[23:11] <bastidrazor> !es | muchon
[23:12] <muchon> ubottu gracias
[23:12] <zeppelin101> though Scite actually look verrry nice from screenshots
[23:12] <zeppelin101> *looks
[23:13] <jacobite> hello all
[23:13] <canu-qumm> sudokill: u see? i found out how to open folders; i had to open nautilus lol
[23:14] <sudokill> yea, thats  the file manager
[23:14] <sudokill> lol
[23:14] <sudokill> you're learning :)
[23:14] <FluttershyFan> is there a chance ubuntu 11 isnt comptible with my graphics card?
[23:15] <zeppelin101> FluttershyFan: it's a very slim chance - but why dont you try the live CD?
[23:15] <sudokill> FluttershyFan, did you upgrade from 10.10?
[23:15] <FluttershyFan> dang it only had 1 blank cd and I wasted it on ubuntu 11
[23:15] <jacobite> hi im new andreanna has been helping me setup my system might have the wrong room tho please helpty
[23:15] <FluttershyFan> I downloaded 11 and install from cd
[23:16] <sudokill> FluttershyFan, cdrws are worth having
[23:16] <aspek> FluttershyFan: probably you need to install the drivers for your graphics card to get full potential of your gc, like 3d stuff
[23:17] <jacobite> will unreal tournament run on this system ??? please
[23:17] <FluttershyFan> how do I install the drivers if I cant start it up?
[23:17] <sudokill> you cant
[23:17] <sudokill> i think youre pretty much stuck
[23:18] <FluttershyFan> o_o
[23:18] <dee27> any hd player for ubuntu?
[23:18] <aspek> FluttershyFan: you did not mention the exact issue, what happens when you insert the cd and boot up?
[23:18] <sudokill> vlc, mplayer etc
[23:18] <sudokill> dee27, vlc is most common
[23:18] <FluttershyFan> cant I take the graphics card out and install drivers?
[23:19] <sudokill> no, because your pc wouldnt boot
[23:19] <sudokill> i dont think
[23:19] <sudokill> and if it did, you couldnt see anything lol
[23:20] <FluttershyFan> my computer boots up ok when my graphics card is not in
[23:20] <sudokill> FluttershyFan, disable integrated maybe
[23:20] <sudokill> my bad it prob does that itself
[23:20] <tzhuang> anyone know is there is a channel for mzscheme/plt-scheme/racket?
[23:20] <FluttershyFan> it is disabled, and im gonna see what the live cd does
[23:20] <peterhil> tzhuang: try #scheme
[23:20] <tzhuang> peterhil: thanks
[23:20] <sudokill> FluttershyFan, you culd install drivers using your integrated card but youd have to do it manually as the additional dirvers wouldnt detect the card
[23:20] <sudokill> what card is it you're using? nvidia?
[23:21] <sudokill> nvidia and ati should work out the box..
[23:21] <MrKeuner> hello, trying to install a printer, how can I decide what queue mode I should be using?
[23:21] <FluttershyFan> ati radeon 5670 series
[23:21] <sudokill> the kernel driver should work
[23:22] <sudokill> its not recommended to manually install drivers so itd be a bit messy
[23:23] <extraclassic> FluttershyFan: if you have integrated video and a card, you have to disable the integrated and enable the video card in the bios or the screen will be black
[23:23] <FluttershyFan> the live cd works
[23:23] <sudokill> bios does that for you
[23:23] <MrKeuner> I clicked on Probe and now I have all the options of the world
[23:23] <sudokill> specially in this day and age
[23:23] <MrKeuner> Just can't figure the right one...
[23:23] <FluttershyFan> yea, my bios autolatically adjusts setting for gfx cards
[23:24] <vaibhav> hey guys, I have a few questions:
[23:24] <vaibhav> why is PostgreSQL still in 8.4.8 version? 9.0 was out waaaayyy back!
[23:27] <googled> anyone know a good ebook to learn about ubuntu networking
[23:27] <duvel> histo, I'm very interested in keeping ubuntu as my permanent OS, but I'm wondering -- how do I run iTunes in ubuntu?
[23:27] <FluttershyFan> when I do try ubuntu with live cd it sets at a black screen and im able to move my mouse around
[23:27] <vaibhav> IS it OKay to distribute Ubuntu with VLC added into it?
[23:28] <googled> wheres a good place to learn about ubuntu networking
[23:28] <googled> ?????
[23:28] <sudokill> google
[23:28] <FluttershyFan> is there a chance that ubuntu 10 will work?
[23:29] <sudokill> you could try it
[23:29] <googled> googled
[23:29] <extraclassic> duvel: rhythmbox is a lot like iTunes
[23:29] <FluttershyFan> only 1 problem.. I dont have any more live cd's
[23:29] <duvel> FluttershyFan: Ubuntu 10 works fantastically. I'm using it now
[23:30] <duvel> extraclassic: Can't sync my iPhone with Rhythmbox
[23:30] <sudokill> FluttershyFan, you should pick up a cdrw or dvdrw that way you can play around with what you want
[23:30] <lewisperry> How do you change your external ip adress?
[23:30] <googled> sudokill you could say that about every question asked on irc
[23:30] <FluttershyFan> I do have cdrw drive
[23:30] <kanlacism> Hi, I just updated Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 (VirtualBox VM in a Windows Vista host) and now it won't boot. It just hangs on the splash screen (Ubuntu logo with red dots under it) - What can I do?
[23:30] <sudokill> disc i mean
[23:30] <extraclassic> duvel: iTunes doesn't work in Wine as far as I know
[23:30] <duvel> extraclassic: Okay, Thank you.
[23:31] <julie101010> lewisperry, if on DSL, you could probably just restart the modem, otherwise contact your ISP
[23:31] <duvel> lewisperry: install TOR :)
[23:31] <vaibhav> kanlacism, get Ubuntu as the host, Windows as the guest; that would be the best bet :D
[23:31] <FluttershyFan> hey im having the same problem as kanlacism
[23:31] <julie101010> anyone know how to setup identd for gnome xchat?
[23:32] <sudokill> FluttershyFan, get a blank disc and try 10.10
[23:32] <kanlacism> vaibhav: I'm not gonna screw around with my setup if I don't have to. It was working fine until I did the dist upgrade. Are you saying 11.04 is incompatible with VirtualBox?
[23:32] <sudokill> has so much less problems
[23:32] <sudokill> all i hear is people cant boot with 11.04
[23:32] <sudokill> or its slow
[23:32] <extraclassic> lewisperry: I heard somewhere you could unplug your modem and wait a couple hours and the ISP would give you another IP...depends on the lease time though
[23:32] <sudokill> normally lease time is years
[23:32] <vaibhav> kanlacism, I think you should check out the Vbox version instead.
[23:32] <sudokill> maybe some isps are different
[23:33] <duvel> julie101010, you have to forward the port on your router to your internal ip address
[23:33] <extraclassic> bad idea I guess
[23:33] <julie101010> duvel, which port does it use?
[23:33] <vaibhav> kanlacism, moreover, its VISTA... so anything can fail anytime. I have really bad experiences with that OS...it bloody came free with my laptop.
[23:33] <sudokill> idk maybe some isps do that but i doubt it you normally have an ip for a long long time unless you phone isp
[23:33] <duvel> julie101010, port 113
[23:33] <julie101010> thanks
[23:34] <FluttershyFan> well taking out my graphics card fixed my ubuntu 11 freezing at splash screen problem. maby 11 is just very uncompatible with gfx cards
[23:34] <duvel> julie101010, no problem
[23:34] <sudokill> FluttershyFan, i think its just a bad release in general
[23:34] <FluttershyFan> im gonna search the house for a blank cd
[23:34] <kanlacism> FluttershyFan: Are you running it in a VM as well?
[23:35] <duvel> lol
[23:35] <FluttershyFan> nope, I installed to hard drive using cd
[23:35] <FluttershyFan> kanlacism: do you have a graphics card as well?
[23:36] <kanlacism> FluttershyFan: Yes
[23:37] <kanlacism> Is there any way I can at least get an error message? I've tried Alt+F1, etc.
[23:37] <duvel> try booting in verbose mode
[23:37] <Matr|X> hello

[23:50] <fishscene> Greetings! I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to create a launcher that opens a network folder based on the logged-in user's name. For example: smb://moo.grasslands.farm/barn/user/$LOGNAME.   However, the launcher literally tries to open a folder called $LOGNAME, instead of seeing it as a system variable. Is there a way to tell it that $LOGNAME is a variable?
[23:50] <qin> Fudge: mplayer -vo help; man mplayer
[23:50] <brightspark> youtube quit working in firefox today- any ideas why?
[23:51] <qin> Fudge: You need also vesa driver to use mplayer in tty
[23:52] <K350> is there a way to view images in terminal mode?
[23:52] <qin> K350: Yes, fbi
[23:53] <qin> K350: fbi is framebuffer image viewer, for gnome-terminal (etc) you can use feh
[23:53] <Fudge> im going through it qin  tks
[23:54] <ZykoticK9> qin, "You need also vesa driver to use mplayer in tty" or just "..-vo aa.." ;)
[23:54] <qin> ZykoticK9: hehe
[23:55] <qin> ZykoticK9: Usually I watch Matrix this way....
[23:55] <ZykoticK9> qin, makes it more accurate eh?  ;)
[23:56] <qin> knock knock...
[23:56] <ZykoticK9> lol
[23:58] <K350> qin: Great, I'll to check if that one is in the repo:-)
[23:58] <fishscene> Does anyone know how to insert a variable in a launcher path? For example: smb://moo.grasslands.farm/barn/user/$LOGNAME
[23:59] <thewanderer1> fishscene: that's impossible, you'll have to generate the launcher on login or sth like that
[23:59] <fishscene> criminy
[23:59] <wildbat> fishscene:  make a script ~ and have launcher launcher that
